An excellent summation, at least from the political point of view, of where we are right now, how we got here, and the fact that the masses of humanity MUST wake up to the reality of the situation if the worst is to mitigated.

The State Is a Firing Squad

Strike The Root

by JGVibes.

Although the common perception of human nature is very negative, the truth is that most people who aren’t mentally ill have a very difficult time committing acts of violence. Usually it takes a sizeable payment and a fair amount of manipulation to convince someone to act violently, and even then a tremendous amount of guilt typically follows regardless of the circumstances. This factor of personal guilt always came into play in executions, so over the years, they devised different ways of killing people that allowed for the executioner to become more and more detached from the physical violence. On a greater scale, we see this same kind of mentality today in the development of drone warfare.

As far as executions are concerned, one of the most effective methods of detaching the executioner from the act of murder is the firing squad. In a firing squad, a line of executioners unload their firearms on the prisoner, but some of the weapons are filled with blanks and others with live ammunition, so no one can be sure who it was that delivered the deathblow. Personally, I can’t even imagine taking part in one of these, but the anonymity seems to allow people to divert the responsibility in their own conscience, at least temporarily.

Interestingly enough, if we look at the compartmentalization that takes place within government agencies, they work in very much the same way. Everyone performs a specific task that is designated to them, and that task plays a minor role in a greater act of violence. Many times this role is so minor that the greater violence goes unnoticed by those who are carrying it out. I understand that the following analogy is not going to work exactly like a firing squad, with a line of shooters and one bullet. However, the idea is still the same: dispersing responsibility throughout a collectivized group, in order to downgrade the burden of guilt in the minds of those individuals who are carrying out acts that they know in their hearts are wrong.

Imagine a giant gun that has thousands of different gears and mechanisms, all of which require a team of people to manage. This gun is of course representative of the government. Every person in every team isn’t really sure of the big picture or the final consequences of their actions, but they get paid to do their very specific task, so they do so without asking too many questions. Very few of these people realize that they are playing a small but significant role in firing a bullet at an innocent person, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s what’s actually happening.

When comparing this description with how our government operates, we can see how extreme compartmentalization detaches people from the greater aggression that their job plays a part in committing. The endless paper trails, waiting periods, and various different bureaucratic offices act as the different gears and mechanisms in the giant gun from our earlier analogy. These different offices and tedious procedures work to distribute responsibility between so many different people that everyone is able to pass the buck onto someone else without ever coming to terms with the consequences of their actions.

When someone gets arrested for violating one of the thousands of preferential laws that put nonviolent people behind bars, they are handled by people who accept no responsibility whatsoever for results of their actions. Every step of the way from the arresting mercenary to the final executioner, every bureaucrat says the same thing, “I’m just doing my job.” They are not allowed to have an opinion about the moral values of the laws that they are enforcing and they are not trained to use their discretion when dealing with nonviolent code breakers.

This process of compartmentalization ensures that there will be no mercy for anyone who happens to be caught up in the system and allows for enforcers and bureaucrats to psychologically disengage with the effects that their everyday actions are having on the lives of others. When it comes down to it, not one victim of war, the police state, or the tax code has the liberty of being able to point out an individual who is responsible for their situation. Although there seems to be so many different people in charge of different things, no one is truly held accountable. When there is praise to receive, everyone in government lines up for their reward, but when something goes wrong, there is no one to be found, aside from those who are blaming and pointing fingers.

For the most part, everyone who keeps that state well-oiled and in working order is able to maintain a safe and healthy distance from all of the violence that is taking place. Most people are involved in filing paperwork, sending out letters and things of that nature. These people are very much still a part of the violence, but they aren’t directly on the front lines where they can see what’s going on. I’m not at all saying that all state employees are evil, I’m simply saying that their contribution is helping a violent machine run. Maybe they feel that they have no other options, maybe they think they are doing a great thing, but the fact still remains that they are accomplices to violence, whether they realize it or not.

Most of the people who are in these secondary roles sustain very little psychological trauma as a result of their involvement with government, but those on the front lines aren’t so lucky. This firing squad scenario may allow those on the front lines to deny personal responsibility for their actions, because unlike those with secondary roles, they are actually coming in contact with the people they are hurting, so they have a harder time escaping the shame and guilt that accompanies their position.

Even though the enforcers on the front lines always rationalize their actions or blame their transgressions on supervisors and legislators, deep down they usually have an extremely difficult time coping with the violence that they are forced to inflict on others, day in and day out. Eventually many of these people end up with severe depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, narcissism and other extreme psychological problems as a result of the physical encounters that they have had with other human beings.

This enforcement element of state power can be compared to the executioners in a firing squad who are packing live ammunition. Imagine being one of the executioners who feels that extra kick from the end of his rifle, which gives him the subtle indication that he has just taken a human life. Think about how you would spend the rest of your days attempting to rationalize and repress the reality of what you have done.

By allowing some the ability to commit violence without consequence for the sake of “solving problems,” we are simply setting a standard that problems actually can be solved with violence. On the other hand, if we hold everyone to the same standard of non-violence and handle disputes on a case by case basis, we will actually be encouraging peaceful interactions. Without the nebulous justifications of the state to fall back on, everyone would be forced to rely on their own conscience to make decisions and they would actually be held personally responsible for their actions.

If certain behaviors and social customs lead to psychological trauma and require a great deal of mental acrobatics to justify, then they are obviously unnatural and most likely detrimental to human health and wellbeing. The state itself is one of these erroneous social customs that are actually holding the human race back from a world of abundance and peaceful interactions. If new tactics are constantly being developed to shield people from the shame and guilt that comes along with their day-to-day activities, then there is obviously something very wrong about the way we are doing things.

Dawn of the Drones: The Realization of the Total Surveillance State

2012-02-15T09:47:00.000-08:00

Information Liberation

By John W. Whitehead

“To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is it's morality.” – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 19th century French philosopher

Imagine a robot hovering overhead as you go about your day, driving to and from work, heading to the grocery store, or stopping by a friend’s house. The robot records your every movement with a surveillance camera and streams the information to a government command center. If you make a wrong move, or even appear to be doing something suspicious, the police will respond quickly and you’ll soon be under arrest. Even if you don’t do anything suspicious, the information of your whereabouts, including what stores and offices you visit, what political rallies you attend, and what people you meet will be recorded, saved and easily accessed at a later date. It is a frightening thought, but you don’t have to imagine this scenario. We are only a few years away from the realization of this total surveillance society.

Congress has just passed a bill, the FAA Reauthorization Act, mandating that the Federal Aviation Administration create a comprehensive program for the integration of drone technology into the national air space by 2015. The FAA predicts that there will be 30,000 drones crisscrossing the skies of America by 2020, all part of an industry that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year. This mandate is yet another example of the political power of the military-industrial complex, Congress’ disdain for the privacy of American citizens, and the rampant growth of government. With this single piece of legislation, Congress is opening the floodgates to an entirely new era of surveillance, one in which no person is safe from the prying eyes of the government. This may prove to be the final nail in the Fourth Amendment’s coffin.

Attempts to integrate drone technology into the national air space were underway long before Congress put its stamp of approval on the FAA Reauthorization Act. In fact, the FAA authorized 313 certificates for drone operation in 2011, 295 of which were still active at the end of the year, although the agency refuses to say which organizations received the certificates and for what purposes they were used. However, we do know that the FAA had already approved drones for use by the Department of Homeland Security, US Customs and Border Patrol (which uses the drones to conduct surveillance and counternarcotics missions), and certain state and local law enforcement operations. For example, in June 2011, a family of cattle farmers accused of stealing some cows were spied on with a Predator drone before being apprehended by police.

The fact that drones—pilotless, remote controlled aircraft that have been used extensively in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to assassinate suspected terrorists, as well as innocent civilians—are coming home to roost (and fly) in domestic airspace should come as no surprise to those who have been paying attention. The US government has a history of commandeering military technology for use against Americans. We saw this happen with tear gas, tasers, sound cannons and assault vehicles, all of which were first used on the battlefield before being deployed against civilians at home.

Thus, while 83% of Americans approve of the use of drones abroad, and 65% approve of using drones to assassinate suspected terrorists abroad, even if they are American citizens, it remains to be seen how those same Americans will feel when they are the ones in the sights of the drones. Needless to say, they won’t have to wait too long to find out.

While there are undoubtedly legitimate uses for drone technology, such as locating missing persons, there is no legitimate reason for the government to collect a constant stream of information on the whereabouts of Americans. However, if this drone program is implemented in the way that Congress intends, we will have drones armed with “less-lethal” weaponry, including bean bag guns and tasers, flying over political demonstrations, sporting events, and concert arenas. Eventually, these drones will be armed with the lethal weaponry that is currently being used overseas in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The power of these machines is not to be underestimated. Many are equipped with cameras that provide a live video feed, as well as heat sensors and radar. Some are capable of peering at figures from 20,000 feet up and 25 miles away. They can also keep track of 65 persons of interest at once. Some drones are capable of hijacking Wi-Fi networks and intercepting electronic communications such as text messages. The Army is currently developing drones with facial recognition software, as well as drones that can complete a target-and-kill mission without any human instruction or interaction. They are the ultimate killing and spying machines.

In addition to the privacy concerns, the safety of drone technology has been called into question. There have been a handful of high-profile crashes involving American drones abroad, including in Iran, the island nation of Seychelles, and most recently in Somalia. The Iranian government claimed they brought down the drone flying in their territory via a computer hack. This is two years after Iraqis were able to hack into the live feed of a few drones using “$26 off-the-shelf software.” Mind you, back in October 2011, the US military admitted that their drone fleet had been infected by a ‘mysterious virus.’ The faultiness of the drone technology and the fact that amateur hackers can access the controls and camera feeds are reason enough to ground these devices indefinitely.

Unfortunately, with the wars abroad winding down, America has become the new battleground in the war on terror, to the delight and profit of the military-industrial complex. In fact, with companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin making their influence felt among members of Congress (Boeing spent over $12 million lobbying in 2011, and Lockheed spent over $11 million), you can be sure that their technologies will continue to be purchased by the government, even when there is no need for them. Thus, in the same way that our domestic police forces are now armed with mini-tanks and grenade launchers taken from the military’s armory, it was simply a matter of time before drone technology made its way back home.

While most Americans are unaware of the electronic concentration camp which is slowly enveloping our society, a select few groups are working to push back against government control. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the FAA, demanding the records of the drone certificates which the FAA has issued to various agencies, but it is unlikely that the implementation of this technology can be stopped. Based upon the government’s positions on wiretapping, GPS tracking devices, and Internet tracking technologies, it is also unlikely that our elected officials will do anything to protect the American people from the prying eye of the American government.

We can sit around waiting for some member of Congress with a conscience or some judge concerned about the coming tyranny to push back against the drone empire from within. However, until the American people succeed in raising their collective voices against this technological tyranny, the powers that be will continue on the path to total control, and the condition of our civil liberties will become more dire with every passing day.

“Divided, We Are Hopelessly Sinking In Quicksand!”

2012-01-22T15:08:00.000-08:00

The PPJ Gazette

“People are a great deal like electrons. When they get too close to each other, they are repelled by each other’s negative charge and can never come together, except in times of immense heat and pressure …. like in a Black Hole, or a world war ….. or the rise of tyranny.” Ron Ewart

When the attack comes, whether foreign or domestic, people that are divided will run in all directions in a panic, just like the people did on the cruise ship that ran aground off the West Coast of Italy a week ago and sent the passengers scurrying in all directions, looking for anyway they could to exit the sinking cruise liner and save their lives. There was no guidance and no plan, there was just pandemonium, an irrational human response that can lead to death.

Americans today, are not much different than the passengers on that stricken ship. We are running in all directions with no guidance and no plan. America is more divided now than it ever was and it will be our un-doing if we allow it to continue. Without a course correction resulting from conservative unification, America will sink deeper into the quicksand of apathy, indifference and wholly desperate ideologies, with no chance of escape.

We are divided, even within our own ideologies. Conservatives or liberals cannot agree between themselves on their ideas or visions of what America should be. To make matters worse, politicians in either party are more interested in the reins of power than they are in the heavy responsibility of guiding this nation in accordance with the blue print laid out for us by the Founding Fathers in our constitution, a constitution for which millions of brave men and women gave their lives in its defense over these last 235 years since freedom was born, when a “shot was heard ’round the world.”

The difficulties we face as Americans come from the differences in those two ideologies and the direction that either ideology will take America. One ideology is steeped in enabling weakness and dependency ….. for votes. The other is founded on individual strength, self-reliance and independence. In all respects of the two opposing ideologies, the former must be funded by the latter as the strong among us always have the responsibility of supporting the weak among us, whether we would like to or not if government has its way. The serious flaw in the former ideology (Progressivism) is that weakness and dependency will grow within it to a point at which there are more dependent people than there are independent people. The flawed system breaks down when it reaches that point and maybe even before. Those that are dependent on the system will fail with it and there will be no one to help them since the country will be broke. It is already happening in Greece.

The strength of the latter ideology (Conservatism) is that it breeds independence and self-reliance. The attributes of independence and self-reliance are the foundation of individual freedom. Freedom cannot exist without them. History has proven that a weak nation will eventually succumb to a stronger nation, or collapse from within. A nation that becomes corrupt by fostering weakness and dependency for votes will disintegrate into bankruptcy and chaos; or conquered by a stronger, more determined force; or unwillingly merged into another nation. (think the one-world-order)
Europe’s model of socialism and rampant dependency has shown us that it never works and will always fail. Is America destined to follow Europe into the same pit of despair?

If America is to be restored to the vision of the Founding Fathers as a free and prosperous nation, the only ideology that can accomplish it is the one that has in its foundation, the principles of self-reliance, independence, free choice, free markets and individual freedom. Any other ideology is doomed to failure, national bankruptcy and eventually, enslavement.

However, in order for that one ideology to prevail, those that believe in that ideology must unite around the simple principles of self-reliance, independence, free choice and individual freedom. Any other course will divide the ideology and render it impotent.

If we as Americans can’t agree on the basic principles that we are sovereign, free Americans that have declared our independence from all foreign nations and dictates and governed by a blue print called the Constitution and that the land we now occupy is sovereign land for all legal Americans subject to our laws, we have no hope whatsoever of solving the problems we face today. Remember! Our domestic enemies are those people in power, or those that lobby those people in power, who attempt to manipulate us like puppets and divert our attention away from the fact that we are sovereign, free citizens of this great and exceptional country called the United States of America. We cannot expect to defeat a foreign enemy if we cannot vanquish a domestic enemy.

Our problems and our divisions exist because of the human failing that makes us focus on one single issue, while ignoring all the other very important issues that secure our freedom and liberty. Many times that single issue has a great deal to do with what we are receiving in the form of government assistance. Sometimes that single focus has to do with religious beliefs, or the abhorrence of war, or perceived unfair treatment, or discrimination due to race, creed, national origin, or the color of our skin. Although these issues may seem very real to those involved, they tend to overshadow why we are Americans, why we are exceptional and why we have built the most powerful and most generous nation on earth. It is because we are free, but we won’t be free much longer if we do not unite on some absolutely fundamental principles.

Divisions within any group can be overcome by first determining what issues upon which most of the group can agree and cast aside for the moment, those issues upon which they do not agree. Since most people have good hearts and fair minds, the group can then form a strong bond around the agreed-upon issues.

But you ask, what does the group do about those issues for which there is no agreement? That’s the tricky part. If we lose sight of that which unites us and only focus on that which divides us, there is no hope of coming together and we are like the electron with a negative charge that repels all other electrons.

In the hopes of uniting more of us on those simple principles, we have created a survey for groups of people to determine where they agree and how to forge a bond within the group over those agreed-upon issues. We then discuss how to deal with those issues over which we do not agree. That survey is part of a group of documents that we have created that we call the “20 Documents to Freedom“, or as we also call it, our “S-O-S Kit“. It is a useful exercise for groups of 10 or more. It grows even more useful if the results are shared with other groups that have taken the survey.

One might ask why does it take a disaster to bring Americans together? Why was it that America rallied in solidarity after Pearl Harbor, to take on a World War and defeat two enemies on two different continents and two separate oceans? Why was it that after 911 America came together in common purpose to “get” the culprits that would dare attack us? Why was it that that coming together only lasted for about 4 to 6 months before we split up into thousands of fractions of self-interest and started attacking each other again? Why is it that so many Americans are so ignorant of the problems we have created for ourselves and the foreign and domestic enemies and our so-called benevolent friends like the United Nations, that are taking huge bites out of our freedom and sovereignty? Ignorance is not bliss it is suicidal.

Are we not Americans? Then why is it we have been played like pawns by our government and special interests, such that we now fight with each other instead of challenging the enemy that we allowed to make us what we are? Why is it we have allowed outside forces to manipulate us so that we look more like immature elementary children fighting in a school yard, than mature, clear-thinking, informed adults? Why is it we have forgotten that the foundation of freedom is unalienable individual rights, free choice, free markets, independence, self-reliance and personal responsibility, that are supposed to be PROTECTED by government under the framework of our Constitutional Republic, not ERODED by government as it has been doing for 100 years or more under Progressivism?

But take heart! There is a shift in the winds of politics and there still may be hope for America yet. Since the 2009 town hall meetings turned ugly against Obama care and since the 2010 election when several Tea Party candidates were swept into the U. S. House of Representatives by the voters, the other side senses a movement in this country that is contrary to Progressivism, a false ideology that has been growing in America for over 100 years. In this power struggle of ideologies, Progressives will pull out all of the stops to defeat Conservatives.

They will lie, cheat and manipulate elections to remain in power. Propaganda advertising, to sway the naive among us, will be unrelenting. Half the American population, that have been bought off for their votes, is behind and supports them.

The mainstream media idolizes and promotes them. Our public schools and colleges indoctrinate our children with Progressivism, multi-culturalism and Collectivism with a vengeance. It’s everywhere. How on Earth can we stop them?

Ladies and gentlemen, “The Parallax Prophecies” predicts that if the conservative movement in America does not unite, en masse, behind the principles of freedom upon which they can agree and set aside those issues upon which they cannot agree, this protracted ideological battle that is raging throughout the land will continue indefinitely until what is left of America will be totally unrecognizable from the vision of those who planted the seeds of freedom in a diverse people, on a new continent, 11 score and 15 years ago. We either unite in freedom, or unconditionally surrender and sink ever deeper into a bottomless pit of shifting, oozing quicksand ….. never to rise again.

Rest assured, this writer will never surrender and we will keep pumping out words of freedom, hope and inspiration until our life ends, or we are silenced by those with whom we take issue. Until then, watch for our informational and inspirational messages that emanate each week from ….. ”The Parallax Prophecies

End of Nations: Canada, the US and the "Security Perimeter"

2012-01-14T08:39:00.000-08:00

Global Research

American President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Harper have unveiled a new border security agreement that has received scant attention in the American media. However, far from being a new arrangement, what this accord represents is only the latest in a chain of usurpations of national sovereignty.

Find out more about the path toward the North American Union on this week's GRTV Backgrounder.

TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: http://www.corbettreport.com/?p=3502

When Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President Barack Obama announced the much-anticipated border agreement between the two countries at a press conference in Washington last week, those mainstream media outlets that bothered to cover the story at all compensated for the lack of details about what specifically is going to be accomplished by this accord by focusing on issues of no practical significance.

The Globe and Mail, for example, ran an entire article about how Harper and Obama’s personal “friendship” allegedly effected the deal, which was in reality and admittedly struck by bureaucrats in months of closed-door negotiations.

A variety of trade magazines and corporate websites released vague laudatory statements about the “streamlining” of the border.

But the story itself, which generated few headlines at all in the American media, was not about what specifically will change at the border so much as the border is increasingly being redefined as just one part of a broader security perimeter that in fact encompasses both the US and Canada.

The agreement in fact comprises two so-called “action plans,” one entitled Beyond The Border and the other the Regulatory Cooperation Council. The former plan focuses on border security with the explicit aim of creating a security perimeter that encompasses both countries. The latter is meant to harmonize regulations for business, facilitating cross-border trade.

The security agreement uses the threat of terrorism, crime and health securities to announce an increasing merger of the two countries’ border security, including an integrated entry-exit system that will involve full sharing of individuals’ biometric details between the two governments by 2014 and even the creation of integrated cross-border law enforcement teams with authority to collect intelligence and conduct criminal investigations on either side of the border.

The regulatory plan, meanwhile, aims to standardize agricultural regulations on such items as maximum pesticide residue limits as well as develop standards and regulations for potential future products and industries like nanotechnology.

Although the plans detail certain steps that can be or are being taken, the majority of the information is about agreed-upon shared values and the possibility of cooperation.

In light of the relative paucity of detail about these “action plans,” media outlets chose to illustrate the general points of the agreement with seemingly random examples, such as this one about breakfast cereals.

Keen-eyed observers of this trivial example of the effects might have noted a striking similarity to the way that Prime Minister Harper tried to deflect criticism of the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement that sought to merge the governments, security forces and regulatory framework of the US, Mexico and Canada, back in 2007 by talking about jellybean regulations.

On one level, reducing these agreements to regulations on cereals and jelly beans marginalizes the legitimate criticism and fears about the erosion of national sovereignty implicit in these talks. It also serves to keep the public disinterested in the issues by painting them as dry and unimportant talks about bureaucratic affairs.

What this similarity in rhetoric unwittingly reveals, however, is how this latest agreement is in fact nothing new, and can only be properly understood as the latest point in a continuing process of merging the bureaucratic, regulatory and military functions of Canada and the US that has in fact been taking place for a decade.

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the two countries began work on reshaping the nature of the world’s longest undefended border. This resulted in the Canada-US Smart Border Declaration, an agreement signed in December 2001 that contained much of the same rhetoric as the recent agreement, including vows to coordinate security and law enforcement efforts in the name of facilitating the flow of people and goods between Canada and the States.

This led into the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a trilateral framework between the governments of the US, Canada and Mexico that began a process of regulatory integration. Formally launched in 2005, the SPP quickly caught the attention of the public on both sides of the border, and as freedom of information requests shed more light on the process, including the almost total domination of the partnership in closed-door meetings by big business, the SPP’s annual summit quickly became a flashpoint for political activism.

In the light of public scrutiny, the SPP was shelved in 2009, but many of its initiatives and recommendations continue on behind the scenes. SPP documents, for example, show how Canada’s controversial no-fly list was in fact part of a trilateral agreement, with the 2006 report to leaders in fact mandating the program’s June 2007 launch date.

Meanwhile, the military merger of Canada and the US has proceeded in its own series of mutual agreements, beginning with the creation of NORTHCOM, the United States Northern Command, in 2002, which charged the US military with the protection of the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Mexico and Canada.

In February of 2008, the Canadian and American militaries signed an agreement allowing troops of either country to cross the border and carry out operations in the other country in the event of an emergency, such as civil unrest.

In 2010, the two countries signed the shiprider agreement, allowing the operation of specially designated vessels to patrol the shared waterways of the two countries by joint crew, consisting of both Canadian and American law enforcement. This agreement is cited in the new border proposal as an example of how cross-border policing can be implemented.

Now, with increasing “cooperation” between cross-border law enforcement, Canadians will be expected to allow American officials to pursue their investigations of suspected criminals on Canadian soil. And the process of harmonization means that Canada may even be expected to allow the use of drone surveillance, an idea presently being used by the US to patrol the Canadian border and even to pursue criminal investigations of American citizens far away from the border.

Although there are many individual aspects of this latest accord that are worrying, from the militarization of the border to the harmonization of regulatory frameworks to allow for the lowest common denominator in food standards and other areas, to the increasing sharing of information about citizens between the two countries, perhaps the most worrying aspect is the project itself. As many have warned, these seemingly bland border proposals, a story so dull that it has barely been covered at all by the American press, may in fact be used to slip in a North American Union through the gradual merging of the two countries’ bureaucratic systems.

The most insidious part of this process is that it is not subject to legislative oversight of any kind, and is taking place in behind-the-scenes discussions between high-level bureaucrats outside of the glare of public scrutiny, a point that is readily conceded by the proposals’ proponents.

Last week I had the chance to talk to Paul Hellyer, the former deputy Prime Minister of Canada, about this agreement, and whether the border security threat that the US is using to justify the process is in fact a ploy to obscure an underlying agenda, the drive to merge Canada and US in a de facto union.

Regardless of whether this particular agreement bears fruit for those seeking to bring the two countries into a closer union, or whether it is just another waypoint on the road of a much longer and more detailed process, the very real concerns about the erosion of national sovereignty implicit in this deal is one that those in power are eager to see avoided. So far, they are being aided in that quest by a media that chooses to avoid the hard questions about this series of agreements to the extent that they cover them at all.

As always, the power belongs in the hands of the people. Without significant pushback from the public, however, the momentum of these border agreements might be enough to make the North American Union an inevitability. Alternatively, the public can fight back by making this into a key political issue and informing others of the potential threat to the survival of both the US and Canada as sovereign nations.

“Under a Communist Party Government, South Africa will become a land of milk and honey.”

-Nelson Mandela

Occupy Wall Street is providing a refreshing new insight into how the collectivist mind works (or does not). Now that the global warming business is starting to fall on deaf ears, the hard left government supremacist hive mind is having to find new vehicles and venues to press their agenda for universal slavery. The assault on the tattered remnants of private business is now the subject of much mewling and teeth-grinding by the usual suspects. I did want to express my personal condolences to Hillary Clinton on the death of Kim Jong Il, her dreams of a happy marriage to a more straight-forward partisan of her most secret ambitions is now dashed on the rocky shoreline of history unfulfilled. Bill’s trips to Moscow simply did not have the long-term effect desired.

Let’s get back to fundamentals. What is a private business? It is a method of trading products and services for wealth to generate profits to enrich the owners and workers in the enterprise and additionally seed the investment, growth and expansion of the business.

What is the business of government and politicians? To earn wealth and establish punitive control over individual transactions with no merit whatsoever; in other words, to employ the monopoly powers of violence to enrich the few at the expense of the many. Bastiat said it more eloquently but there it is. Politicians love to project an image of stately dignity and honorifics for the terrific and self-sacrificing service they do. The deception is blatant and they are no more than thieves wrapped in expensive state regalia with armed guards to protect them from their victims. Those victims they have not mentally turned to eunuchs already through the insidious ministrations of television, government education and the soothing bastardization of the language to manipulate the sheeple, are waking up to the sheer audacity of the heist that has been called the state. Turning the Bolshevik idyll on its head, it speaks to the true nature of government and governance.
Hence some examples of the government “business model”:

What is American-Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) return on its investment of approximately 15 million per annum in memberships and grants? About 2.77 billion taxpayer dollars plus the special dispensation granted by the DoD and other government agencies for grants and giveaways (30% of the acknowledged US foreign aid budget). Of course, we all know that per Federal Election Commission (FEC) v. Akins, et al., AIPAC is not a political organization so it is not required to file the onerous minutiae required for political lobbying even though they have five or six registered lobbyists and a host of espionage allegations.

What is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU)? Both of these fetid organizations would have no reason to exist if the Federal Government weren’t there to provide the backdoor trough from which they rob the taxpayer.

Unsurprisingly, a tremendous amount of socialist and communist influence permeates both ACORN and SEIU. Along with the radical Apollo Alliance and the Tides Foundation, they helped craft the monstrous stimulus bill which further bankrupted what is increasingly a zombie economy in these united States.

What do the aforementioned organizations have in common? As with countless other entities in America and around the world, they would not be here except for the existence of the state. The government is the parasite and these are the looters and tax-eaters that live upon other’s production and sweat equity. These are the government analogs of organized crime, muggers and other miscreants whose sole purpose is to thrive off of other members of the community at the point of a gun.

Politicians are very well-heeled and equipped highwaymen who are a menace to peace and prosperity throughout the world as history has ably demonstrated. These are simply the latest group of sociopaths and their enablers who maintain that man should not be free but under harness and micromanaged for their own good.

They have even developed a sophisticated academic rationale and industry to provide the apparent intellectual rigor to justify the rapine and murderous behavior that government creates and endorses as it merrily destroys all that is good in the world and replaces it with the hordes of shambling and compliant shells of humanity that shuffle off to work every day to pay their taxes so they feed the Machine. When you consider the tax burden just in America, it almost rivals Denmark and France. I think the graphs and charts once finds on the internet are deceptive because they don’t address the aggregate tax burden (federal, state, local, excise, corporate, etc). As I have pointed out before, when all is said and done, Americans pay nearly 60% of their income in taxes once all Federal, state and lower echelonment taxes are accounted for not to mention the impossible task of putting a dollar figure on the mountains of regulation that impede and strangle business every day. Far greater than the estimated 10% of labor the medieval serfs were yoked with. The universities and major news organs are choked with vine-ripened apologists for statist excess and murder. Whether it is the “right-wing” talk radio celebrities popping the bubbly for more strangers killed overseas or the massive “left-wing” herd of apparatchiks on the news media mewling benignly about the efficacy of more laws and restrictions on human behavior, the message is the same: more government power moves us ever closer to perfection of humanity in this mortal coil. They seek the same enigmatic creature: Homo Sovieticus.

You have to hand it to the self-described socialists and communists like Bernie Sanders and Van Jones, at least they are honest (even though I think all collectivist thought is a form of intellectual drunkenness) in who they are instead of mouthing platitudes about safety, the children and national security to disguise their unbridled lust for power and control over others. At least they have the fortitude to precisely describe their child-like reverence for the state without resorting to the intellectual gymnastics of the usual suspects in the media.

I have often thought that to be a Communist at the beginning of the twentieth century was possibly an intellectually defensible position looking at the scant history of the movement in power and practice yet one hundred years later this extreme form of collectivism should be universally reviled and is intellectually and morally indefensible; and here in 2009, not only are the same miserable failures and barbaric practices heralded but endorsed by no less than the President of this decaying country known as America.

Do you want to get a chill that makes your hair stand on end? Visit the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) website and read the naked advocacy of Obamunism. It would be fascinating to hire some historians to go through the 12,000 cartons of donated archives of the CPUSA at the Tamiment Library at NYU. They had to move the archives to clear out four floors of the office building housing CPUSA.

Not to mention the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, Socialist Workers Party, Progressive Labor Party and other morally handicapped organizations. There is yet another future political forensic project to see how much money these organizations have received from the government and how many of its members have jobs in the administration. RedDR’s administration was so filled with Soviet agents, communist sympathizers like Vice President Henry Wallace and fifth columnists that it dominated the political paradigm in Washington. The New Deal was informed by all manner of collectivism during what is considered the American Communist Party’s golden age in the 1930’s and now the cycle begins anew. I highly recommend the books by Harvey Klehr and Robert Conquest if you want a deeper understanding of the juggernaut.

We often take it for granted in the libertarian orbit that it is a slam-dunk intellectually that private individuals in a cooperative sphere absent coercion are the best form of human society. If the twentieth century taught us anything, it is this: certain sociopaths in our midst have a penchant to rule and legions of willing and able followers are waiting for the chance to don the yoke and assume the role of loyal serfs. The argument on optimal human order is far from over and the individualists among us have a huge fight ahead of us to convince our fellow man of the merits of volunteerism, persuasion, cooperation and spontaneous market forces.

While the behavior of the Democrat Party makes it self-evident that they are an unabashed socialist enterprise, the behavior of the Grand Old Politburo has certainly gladdened the hearts of dictators around the planet and put the full strength and manpower of the national security state behind the efforts to track diaper purchases. We have all heard the tired old saw about the satisfaction of the Communist Manifesto in America but what about the Socialist platform from 1912?
The first preamble:

The Socialist party declares that the capitalist system has outgrown its historical function, and has become utterly incapable of meeting the problems now confronting society. We denounce this outgrown system as incompetent and corrupt and the source of unspeakable misery and suffering to the whole working class.

That could have been pulled from the latest editorial by Paul Krugman in the New York Times. Here is the list of platform demands and I have italicized which items have culminated and made comments in brackets where appropriate. I offer this thought experiment: of all the items which have not been adopted, would the regime in Mordor on the Potomac advance and endorse them today if the opportunity availed itself? To wit:

Working Program

As measures calculated to strengthen the working class in its fight for the realization of its ultimate aim, the co-operative commonwealth, and to increase its power against capitalist oppression, we advocate and pledge ourselves and our elected officers to the following program:

Collective Ownership

The collective ownership and democratic management of railroads, wire and wireless telegraphs and telephones, express service, steamboat lines, and all other social means of transportation and communication and of all large scale industries. [This has been effectively achieved through comprehensive vertical and horizontal regulation of the marketplace especially in the Federal arena.]
The immediate acquirement by the municipalities, the states or the federal government of all grain elevators, stock yards, storage warehouses, and other distributing agencies, in order to reduce the present extortionate cost of living. [Read some of the Homeland Security edicts and the emerging law on hoarding.]
The extension of the public domain to include mines, quarries, oil wells, forests and water power. [Look at the percentages of Federal land in the Rocky Mountain Western states for a chilling view of DC ownership of resources and land.]
The further conservation and development of natural resources for the use and benefit of all the people . . .
The collective ownership of land wherever practicable, and in cases where such ownership is impracticable, the appropriation by taxation of the annual rental value of all the land held for speculation and exploitation.
The collective ownership and democratic management of the banking and currency system.

Unemployment

The immediate government relief of the unemployed by the extension of all useful public works. All persons employed on such works to be engaged directly by the government under a work day of not more than eight hours and at not less than the prevailing union wages. The government also to establish employment bureaus; to lend money to states and municipalities without interest for the purpose of carrying on public works, and to take such other measures within its power as will lessen the widespread misery of the workers caused by the misrule of the capitalist class.

Industrial Demands

The conservation of human resources, particularly of the lives and well-being of the workers and their families:
By shortening the work day in keeping with the increased productiveness of machinery.
By securing for every worker a rest period of not less than a day and a half in each week.
By securing a more effective inspection of workshops, factories and mines.
By the forbidding the employment of children under sixteen years of age.
By the co-operative organization of the industries in the federal penitentiaries for the benefit of the convicts and their dependents.
By forbidding the interstate transportation of the products of child labor, of convict labor and of all uninspected factories and mines.
By abolishing the profit system in government work and substituting either the direct hire of labor or the awarding of contracts to co-operative groups of workers.
By establishing minimum wage scales.
By abolishing official charity and substituting a non-contributory system of old age pensions, a general system of insurance by the State of all its members against unemployment and invalidism and a system of compulsory insurance by employers of their workers, without cost to the latter, against industrial diseases, accidents and death.[Social Security and its appendages satisfied this plea.]

Political Demands

The absolute freedom of press, speech and assemblage. [One of the few sane proposals in the entire platform.]
The adoption of a graduated income tax and the extension of inheritance taxes, graduated in proportion to the value of the estate and to nearness of kin-the proceeds of these taxes to be employed in the socialization of industry.
The abolition of the monopoly ownership of patents and the substitution of collective ownership, with direct rewards to inventors by premiums or royalties. [How do you incentivize innovation in the absence of sowing the fruits of individual labor?]
Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and women.
The adoption of the initiative, referendum and recall and of proportional representation, nationally as well as locally.
The abolition of the Senate and of the veto power of the President.
The election of the President and Vice-President by direct vote of the people.
The abolition of the power usurped by the Supreme Court of the United States to pass upon the constitutionality of the legislation enacted by Congress. National laws to be repealed only by act of Congress or by a referendum vote of the whole people.
Abolition of the present restrictions upon the amendment of the constitution, so that instrument may be made amendable by a majority of the voters in a majority of the States.
The granting of the right of suffrage in the District of Columbia with representation in Congress and a democratic form of municipal government for purely local affairs.
The extension of democratic government to all United States territory.
The enactment of further measures for the conservation of health. The creation of an independent bureau of health, with such restrictions as will secure full liberty to all schools of practice.
The enactment of further measures for general education and particularly for vocational education in useful pursuits. The Bureau of Education to be made a department.
The separation of the present Bureau of Labor from the Department of Commerce and Labor and its elevation to the rank of a department.
Abolition of federal districts courts and the United States circuit court of appeals. State courts to have jurisdiction in all cases arising between citizens of several states and foreign corporations. The election of all judges for short terms. [Another meritorious platform requirement
The immediate curbing of the power of the courts to issue injunctions.
The free administration of the law.
The calling of a convention for the revision of the constitution of the U. S. [I would prefer the abolition thereof and the break-up of these united States.]

With very few exceptions, this and the Communist Manifesto is the intellectual backbone of America’s political leadership. Excepting Ron Paul, what politician at the Federal level is championing states rights, freed markets and non-interventionism domestically and overseas? Not a soul.

“We shall tax and tax, and spend and spend, and elect and elect.”

-Harry Hopkins*

*Harry Hopkins was one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s closest advisers. He was one of the architects of the New Deal, especially the relief programs of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which he directed and built into the largest employer in the country. In World War II he was Roosevelt’s chief diplomatic advisor and troubleshooter and was a key policy maker in the $50 billion Lend Lease program that sent aid to the allies.

His Soviet code name was Zamestitel.

Freedom: The New and Future Experiment

2011-11-27T10:14:00.000-08:00

The Daily Reckoning

By Joel Bowman

11/17/11 Buenos Aires, Argentina – Before I get started… Anybody here know what glossophobia means? The word derives from the Greek glossa, meaning tongue, and phobos, meaning fear or dread. Glossophobia, also known as speech anxiety, is a fear of public speaking.

And I suffer from it terribly.

Glossophobia aside, I’m going to press on today anyway because what I want to talk to you about is very important. Maybe more so now than ever.
The title of my speech is “Freedom: The New and Future Experiment.”

This topic is particularly timely right now because, as you well know, a revolution of sorts is today under way in a place that used to be comfortable calling itself, proudly and with a straight face, “The Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.” Try asking any thinking individual who happened to be born within the United States borders today to claim that title without arousing a disquieting feeling of tragic irony. You might hear the words, but you’ll notice they are delivered with an empty conviction, with some embarrassment, a shame, almost, for remembering what was lost.

But before addressing the New and Future Experiment, let’s take a look at the Old and Moribund Experiment: Statism.

From the Pharaohs through to warlords, kings and queens, generalissimos, barbarians, emperors, chairmen, führers, shoguns, sheiks, tsars, presidents, prime ministers and the rest of the dirty rotten scoundrels, nobody could say we humans didn’t give “The State” a fair go.

Statism exists in many forms. All, I will argue, are inherently evil. All end in eventual and painful demise.

Why do I say that all forms of Statism are evil? Surely there is an argument for some kind of “minarchist” arrangement of governmental oversight, the Praetorian guard, the night watchman, some kind of political structure to protect us against the aggressions of our neighbors who are always and forever waiting at our front gates, ever at the ready for the law to change or turn its back so they can come and pilfer our grains, raid our gold stockpiles and defile our daughters?

It is sometimes said that religion makes men do noble things. And that’s true. But religion also makes men do heinous, hellish things. Why else would anybody strap a bomb to themselves and run into a kindergarten, for example, if they didn’t think God was on their side?

I’m reminded here of that great skit from Scottish comedian, Billy Connelly.
“I want to go to one of these suicide bomber schools,” he says. “You can just imagine the instructor.

“Alright lads… I’m only going to show you this once…”
Statism is the new religion.

Men used to march off to war for “God, King and Country.” Now he marches off to war to “spread democracy” — the credo of the new religion.

How many people, we wonder, would feel compelled to battle on foreign lands, the whereabouts of which were heretofore unknown to them, to slay “the enemy,” to lay waste to husbands, fathers and brothers they have never before met, to Napalm fields, Agent Orange crops, to litter terrain afar with landmines, if they didn’t believe the patriotic claptrap with which their State ceaselessly indoctrinates them?

No. Statism, in any form, is wicked because it attacks us at our most basic human level. It undermines our dignity. It presupposes that we are incapable of caring for each other and ourselves without its continued and ever increasing invigilation. It tells us that we are not born free individuals, but servants of the State.
In this way, the State is not the preserver and protector of freedom, but anathema to it.

But perhaps most cruelly, most insidiously, the State tells us that we need it more than it needs us. Untrue. It is important here to remember that the State is nothing more than a collection of men and women who initiate force against everybody else, the very same citizens they purport to serve, to represent…and who (are forced to) pay their salaries.

I’m reminded of Doug Casey’s observation that during the Viet Nam War, peace protestors used to carry placards reading, “What if there was a war and nobody showed up?” to which Doug adds, “What if they levied a tax and nobody paid?”

Here we can see immediately that, contrary to what they would have us believe, it is the State that depends on our complicit support to exist at all, not the reverse. It is a form of mass, political Stockholm Syndrome, where the captors gradually come to accept the commands of their master as a demented kind of benevolence, eventually even feeling compassion for and allegiance to him.

That, in a nutshell, is the definition of patriotism: allegiance to one’s own gatekeeper, affection for one’s oppressor.

There are, of course, those who argue that without the State, we would be without the means to build and maintain roads and other critical infrastructure — that we would be without hospitals and schools, without the “safety net” the State is forever crowing about having provided for us.

But to hold this point, one must first admit that there exists, within society, the resources, the productive capacity to build and provide these goods and services in the first place. Those arguing for State intervention are merely saying that the State is the preferred method for delivery, for redistributing a wealth of resources that already exists, through its superior mode of governance.

A dear friend of mine shared with me recently a fantastic quote that addresses just this point. It comes from Allen Thornton’s excellent essay, Laws of the Jungle…
“What do you think ‘govern’ means?” asks Thornton. “It doesn’t mean ‘suggest’ or ‘implore.’ It doesn’t mean two people sitting down, talking it over, and compromising. ‘Govern’ means ‘force’ and ‘force’ means ‘violence.’ When you advocate any government action, you must first believe that violence is the best answer to the question at hand.”

This is the Old Experiment.

Empires…their monies…their militaries and their promises. All these things eventually, invariably, die. You might even say it’s what they were born to do. Their death, in other words, is inevitable. Only the number of innocent individuals they take with them varies.

At this, we should not be surprised. But we should be prepared.

Ever since statists first cobbled together a collective of ruling people, the “rest” have been living under one form of tyranny or another. From tribal leadership structures to local council hierarchies, from Plato’s philosopher class to medieval monarchies through to the various “isms” of our modern times, there has existed one class of rulers — sometimes called guardians, other times tyrants — who have seen fit to exert their ways and rules on all others, usually, ultimately, on pain of death.

In the end, individual freedoms are surrendered to the precise degree that the State is permitted to exist at all.

Most people accept the State’s intrusions on their freedoms as minor grievances. They shrug and mutter something about the “best of a bad bunch” or the “lesser of two evils.” Nevertheless, for the vast majority of people, surrendering a little liberty (or a lot!) for a little safety or convenience is a pretty good deal. That, despite Benjamin Franklin’s famous call to caution that…
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

To be continued…

Part 2

After The Collapse - Who Will Your Neighbors Be?

2011-11-06T08:02:00.000-08:00

Brandon Smith

Dr. William Stockton celebrates yet another birthday surrounded by family and friends in the midst of a grand suburban paradise. The party is warm, and the evening is filled with joy and merriment. These people singing his praises, laughing and imbibing generous amounts of spirits, are neighbors he’s known for over 20 years. He understands them well, or at least, he thinks he does…

The good doctor, as his neighbors often point out with a jabbing chuckle, is a prepper; a brand of survivalist who participates in the day to day routine of mundane American life while using his spare time to safeguard against unforeseen disaster. His friends view this behavior as an amusing curiosity, an eccentric hobby, but none take it nearly as seriously as William does. It’s not that he is paranoid; far from it. In fact, William Stockton is a professional, a man of sense, and a man of family. He merely lives in an era of great potential danger, where nuclear war and societal collapse are anything but fantasy. Stockton takes these issues into account as an individual, and acts according to the severity of his environment. Much more than his neighbors, he represents legitimate rationality.

Unfortunately for the doctor, and for those who live around him, the days of wine and frosted cake are about to abruptly end as a Civil Defense emergency bulletin blares over the wire. The reality that today’s comforts could disappear in the blink of an eye sets into the minds of the frightened listeners. And soon, we begin to witness the TRUE character of those William once held dear.

This scenario might sound like a familiar consideration to many of us, but for now it remains the stuff of nighttime TV. So begins a rather prophetic and ingenious episode of The Twilight Zone entitled “The Shelter”…

The fascinating thing about “The Shelter” is that it is one of the few short stories showcased in The Twilight Zone (a science fiction program) which hasn’t a single element of science fiction within it. “The Shelter” is terrifying exactly because it is NOT a product of wild imagination, but a representation of social fact that cuts to the calcium rich bone of our culture, even 50 years after it aired on television.

The cold hard truth is, much of our country is completely unprepared for a crisis of any considerable proportion. While the 1950’s and 1960’s held the specter of immediate full scale nuclear war, and thus a highly persuasive incentive for preparedness, the new millennium has hardly been anything to sneeze at. Economic collapse is just as destructive to a nation as an atomic bomb, if not more so. The likelihood of social unrest and the long term implosion of our financial system is greater today than it has been in any other era of American history. So much so that even our currency may evaporate along with our standard of living. Those who prep today are acting in as much a logical fashion as those who built shelters during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The knee jerk conclusion here by skeptics of the prepper lifestyle will be that the bunker owning citizens of the “red scare” days wasted their time. That obviously, there was no nuclear holocaust, and all their careful planning was for naught. Or why not bring up the media generated hysteria of Y2K, which played on the public’s utter lack of general knowledge concerning computers and U.S. infrastructure to inspire a widespread prepping panic? Did that farce not prove the absurdity of the survivalist mentality?

The answer is no, not really…

The eventuality of collapse is not the issue. Though America today has zero room to maneuver as far as inflationary printing and debt based spending are concerned, and economic instability is inevitable according to the fundamentals regardless of any practical or impractical political measures that could be introduced, the crisis is not our focus. Our focus is, and always has been, independence and self reliance regardless of the circumstances. Through national prosperity, or national pain, the key to survival is to never make assumptions. To never count on your environment to remain hospitable. To keep catastrophe in mind, even if others around you do not.

One vital aspect of survival that often goes unaccounted for by even the most astute preppers, however, is the issue of community. When the last vestiges of normal society crumble, will you be surrounded by friends, or foes? The difference is not always apparent, as Rod Serling noted in the brilliant episode of the Twilight Zone above. The question then arises; how do we know who to work with, who to trust, and when to keep our mouths shut? When the going gets brutal, who will have the guts to stand firm, who will run, and who will stab us right in the back if they get the chance?

Being a prepper for some years myself, and working with a myriad of character types, I have found that certain personality signals and quirks should be addressed in those who live around you, or those you plan to associate with. Certain kinds of people can be pure poison for any survivalist or any organization striving for practical solutions to collapse. Look at your neighbors and your associates carefully and with some objectivity. Do they fit any of the below profiles a little too well…?

The Lemming

This person lives life to the fullest, which by their definition essentially means working 9 to 5 in a job they despise with co-employees they hate, going home to watch reruns of The Apprentice while drinking away the pain of inadequacy, and bathing in the warm oily coconut butter glow of mainstream news before sinking into their soft feather bed of political ineptitude and dreaming sensible dreams of cult-like consumerist mayhem.

This kind of neighbor will likely freak at even the most non-invasive philosophies. Mention of voting for third party candidates (or Ron Paul) draws googly eyed expressions of disbelief, as if you just broke wind at their dinner table. Conversations of possible economic collapse inspire in them reactions of either complete dismissal along with skeptical cackling, or shrugged shoulders and passive solutions. They buy into anyone who happens to be in a position of petty authority, and would jump into a septic tank filled with rusty nails if someone in an expensive suit or a white coat told them to.

In a post collapse situation, this person will immediately look around for the first truck he can find filled with FEMA goodies. If he finds no government handouts are coming and that he is on his own, he will transform from a lackadaisical and humorously obscure human being into a rabid ax wielding (yet still humorously obscure) murdering food stealing two legged weasel. You do NOT want this person knowing who you are and living within 100 miles of you during a time of instability. They WILL show up at your doorstep…

Commonly spoken phrases include:

“I just want to have fun and not worry about stuff like that…”

“If we stay positive, it will all blow over…”

“That could NEVER happen in this country…”

The Rambo-Lite

A real badass…in his own mind. Unfortunately, not all activists make good neighbors for the well grounded prepper. This “survivalist” is all talk and no action. All bark and no bite. His training methods consist solely of You Tube videos, shopping expeditions to Cabelas, and a trip to the shooting range once every three months. He talks a good game, and may lure you into a cooperative agreement by regaling you with his ability to memorize information from Gun Digest, but when the full fury of a financial firestorm is unleashed, he will let you down in the worst way.

Rambo-Lite is like most men, in that he seeks opportunities to prove himself, and to one day, he hopes, be looked upon as a kind of hero. There is nothing wrong with this. However, being usually overweight or out of shape, our little friend is too lazy to pursue the skills necessary to fulfill such a destiny. On top of this, he often has extremely overblown delusions of grandeur, and feels no need to heighten his knowledge. Why train when you already know everything? He is the kind of prepper that makes real preppers look bad.

Rambo-Lite has all kinds of gear, all kinds of advice, but will whine through the night during a cold winter march, never stay on task, never listen to the sage wisdom of those more experienced, and run at the first sign of substantial danger. Ultimately, he is an obstacle, not a comrade. When looking for neighbors who will provide mutual support in hard times, look elsewhere…

Commonly spoken phrases include:

“I don’t care about any of that! I just want to shoot blue helmets!”

“All I need is my hunting rifle and my bowie knife…”

“I don’t need to store food. I’ll just take other people’s…”

“I used to be a navy-seal-air-force-ranger-marine-scout-sniper-jiu-jitsu-master…”

The Cynic On Steroids

As if things aren’t bad enough, some people have to make them worse by constantly pointing out how unavoidably “doomed” we all are, and that the act of survival is in itself a waste of energy. This neighbor is quite aware of the scale of the dangers we face down the road as a culture, but instead of taking proactive measures to prepare and to help others around him, he does nothing, and revels in the thought of widespread destruction. The warped dynamic of the modern American lifestyle has not been kind to this person. Of course, it has not been kind to most of us. Our Cynic reverts to a childish methodology of nihilism because he believes he has somehow been dealt a worse hand than anyone else, and the only thing that will satisfy him would be a hailstorm of napalm across the face of the planet.

Rarely leaves his home to organize with other activists, but when he does, the urge for most people to sink a fist into his scowling face is almost irresistible.

As excited as this guy is to see the world burn, he is actually very afraid of dying.

Strangely, like most eugenicists, or members of PETA, in his darkest fantasies, he imagines a future in which nearly everyone meets a horrible gurgling end except himself. Unscathed by the genocide, he skips along his merry way in lush fields of dandelions and bunnies to meet the celebrity woman of his dreams (or any woman who will feel forced to settle because there are so few men left alive).

It goes without saying, this neighbor is not going to be of much service to anyone. Confronted with very real doom (namely his own), and realizing that his dreamworld musings of a day when he will have the Earth to himself are not going to come true, he will blame the closest and most successful preppers around him for his misfortunes. He won’t ask for food, and he won’t try to take it by force either. Instead, he’ll turn you in to the authorities (if there are any left), or, he’ll attempt to snatch away what he can from those people weaker than him (if there are any left).

Commonly spoken phrases include:

“We’re all going to die anyway…”

“They have tanks and predator drones! You’ll be wiped off the map!”

“No woman is smart enough to understand me…”

The Snoop

Ah yes, my favorite! Every neighborhood in America has one of these dastardly specimens. Every apartment building, every city block, every gated community. The Snoop is like the Lemming in that they almost pride themselves on their unwillingness to listen to reason or consider facts, but the Snoop takes this one step further. Not only will you find them sneering at those of us who express independent or anti-establishment views, but they will also go out of their way to bring trigger happy SWAT teams to our doorsteps. These are the people who actually call Janet Napolitano’s “See Something, Say Something” hotline thinking they are good samaritans.

The Snoop has been the mainstay of every tyrannical government of the last century, from Mussolini’s Italy, to Franco’s Spain, Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, etc. Today, the Snoop is being tapped by the DHS and the Obama Administration as a resource once again within the borders of America itself.

Snoops fancy themselves amateur detectives. They will ask odd probing questions that seem out of place in regular conversation. They will form superficial friendships that feel even more fake than many neighborhood relations tend to. Disapproval of your politics will be met not with arguments, but with silence, and increasing distance. Snoops reveal themselves through their addiction to gossip. Eventually, you will discover from other neighbors that they slander you constantly behind your back.

Under normal circumstances, this is something to be laughed at and ignored. But, post collapse, it is something to be very concerned about. Snoops aren’t looking for advantage, like the Cynic. They are looking for vindication, and approval. They desperately want to be a part of a collective, and revile anyone who displays outward individualism. If turning you in, or organizing others against you, will bring them a pat on the head, they will do it.

The Snoop is a coward, and will never confront you directly. But, he or she will try to use the force of the state or the community against you if you offend their twisted world view.

Commonly spoken phrases include:

“We really need to keep our eyes open for terrorists…”

“I hear the terrorists are using white people at bus stations now…”

“Liberty Movement? Isn’t that one of those homegrown terrorist groups?”

The Idle Enthusiast

Some people are absolutely gung-ho about supporting activist projects or organizing for mutual aid, until the situation requires patience and effort. Then, they disappear from the scene, never to be heard from again. Most movements, especially grassroots movements, are rife with this behavior. Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon after its moving at full speed; they don’t want to have to push it uphill. The same goes for prepping...

Getting the Idle Enthusiast excited about the prospect of community growth and survival training is not difficult. Getting him to show up to provide needed assistance is another matter. Without fail, this character will make numerous offers to carry a mission forward, and will fail to follow through on almost every single occasion. After a while, you find yourself astonished when they accomplish ANYTHING, no matter how small the task.

Their prepping list is always half finished, their training is always half finished, and their promises are always half finished. The strain of asking them to apply even the most remedial effort becomes so painful that you’ll begin entertaining thoughts of violent pillow smothering and strangulation.

The Idle Enthusiast is the kind of neighbor who will volunteer for the most arduous projects. At first, they’ll leave you pleasantly surprised, and then, they’ll leave you hanging.

Commonly spoken phrases include:

“Don’t worry bro, I got this…”

“I’ll have that done in no time…”

“Oh man, I totally got sidetracked…”

The smart prepper understands well that going it alone is not an option, at least not for the long term. Thus, we are required to build relationships with those who live near us. If we cannot find enough like-minded souls in our immediate vicinity, then we must relocate to a place where this process is more viable (at least, if we want to survive). Staying put, wrapped in a web of tract homes or city dwellings filled with dangerously unaware and unprepared people is not an intelligent post collapse strategy. Retreat planning without proper group support and indigenous support is not only a logistical nightmare but a surefire avenue to discomfort of the terminal variety.

Think carefully about the kinds of people you want to have around you in the wake of disaster, and the community you plan to participate in after the smoke has cleared. The decisions you make now may be the kind you are stuck with for quite some time through events that will test your endurance and your very spirit. The more friendships we forge today with those who are prepared not just in supply, but in mind, the safer we will all be tomorrow. The company we keep in the days ahead is not a factor to be taken lightly…

Politics And Shadow Politics: Understanding The Elite's War on Humanity

2011-10-22T09:16:00.000-07:00

The Excavator

A mass grave site in La Macarena, Colombia, that was unearthed in 2010 outside a Colombian military base overseen by the U.S. military. Human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik said that, "The discovery of this mass grave by sheer accident raises the prospect that there are more yet to be found," in his April 2010 article called, "U.S. and Colombia Cover Up Atrocities Through Mass Graves."

"Politics is the management of people. It is important to understand the psychology as well as the symptoms of problems." - Henry Kissinger. The quote is from a Time Magazine article by Hugh Sidey called, "The Presidency: Majesty, Poetry and Power," that was published on October 20, 1980.

"People first feel things without noticing them, then notice them with inner distress and disturbance, and finally reflect on them with a clear mind." - Giambattista Vico; The New Science, pg. 94.

"No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won't be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey.... We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers." - Carl Jung; The Postwar Psychic Problems of the Germans (1945).

"Politics," said Henry Kissinger, "is the management of people." Based on this definition, shadow politics is the management of the mass death of people. Specifically, it is the management of public perceptions about acts of mass destruction and mass death as carried out by government leaders.

The premeditated destruction of Iraq by the United States government provides a present-day example of how government leaders justify the mass murder of foreign populations to their own people. Neoconservative thinking was the ideological source of both the destruction of Iraq and the destruction of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

Neoconservatism and Environmentalism are the two schools of thought in this age that call for the mass destruction and mass death of human communities. Neocons want to conquer the Earth, and Environmentalists want to save it. Both groups are politically powerful, media savvy, financed by big money, and filled with psychotics who have fantasies of mass destruction and mass death.

Their death wish is our worst collective nightmare. When we wake up to a world gone crazy, they wake up to a world of beautiful orgies of destruction and death, of mass cleansing and social renewal, of new beginnings and old pleasures.

George Reisman, a Professor Emeritus of Economics at Pepperdine University and author of Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics, wrote in February 2008 about the dangers of the environmental movement to freedom, human life and world civilization in an article called, "The Nature of Environmentalism." Reisman wrote:

Now imagine that a prominent environmentalist writes an article or gives a speech in which he expresses the wish for a virus to come along and wipe out a billion people. What will be the reaction of the environmental movement? Will that individual be denounced for misrepresenting the movement? Will the rest of the movement’s leaders rush to assure the world that that individual was so far from representing environmentalism that he actually represented the diametric opposite of its principles?

Not at all. There will be no negative reaction of any kind from within the movement, not even a raising of eyebrows. I can say this with the utmost confidence, because such statements have already been made, and made repeatedly. And there has been no outrage, no negative response of any kind from within the environmental movement.

Here’s David M. Graber, in his prominently featured Los Angeles Times book review of Bill McKibben’s The End of Nature: “McKibben is a biocentrist, and so am I. We are not interested in the utility of a particular species or free-flowing river, or ecosystem, to mankind. They have intrinsic value, more value—to me—than another human body, or a billion of them.… It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil-energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.”

And here’s Prince Philip of England (who for sixteen years was president of the World Wildlife Fund): “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” (A lengthy compilation of such statements, and worse, by prominent environmentalists can be found at Frightening Quotes from Environmentalists.)

There is no negative reaction from the environmental movement because what such statements express is nothing other than the actual philosophy of the movement. This is what the movement believes in. It’s what it agrees with. It’s what it desires. Environmentalists are no more prepared to attack the advocacy of mass destruction and death than Austrian economists are prepared to attack the advocacy of laissez-faire capitalism and economic progress. Mass destruction and death is the goal of environmentalists, just as laissez-faire capitalism and economic progress is the goal of Austrian economists.

And this is why I call environmentalism evil. It’s evil to the core. In the environmental movement, contemplating the mass death of people in general is no more shocking than it was in the Communist and Nazi movements to contemplate the mass death of capitalists or Jews in particular. All three are philosophies of death. The only difference is that environmentalism aims at death on a much larger scale.

The useful idiots in the environmentalist movement believe the propaganda about climate change and develop a deep-seated animosity towards human beings. Reisman says that environmentalism, at its core, is a philosophy based on the hatred of humanity and the growth of urban civilization. Reisman said:

"It is not at all accidental that environmentalism is evil and that its leading spokesmen hold or sanction ideas that are indistinguishable from those of sociopaths. Its evil springs from a fundamental philosophical doctrine that lies at the very core and deepest foundations of the movement, a doctrine that directly implies the movement’s destructiveness and hatred of the human race. This is the doctrine of the alleged intrinsic value of nature, i.e., that nature is valuable in and of itself, apart from all connection to human life and well being. This doctrine is accepted by the movement without any internal challenge, and, indeed, is the very basis of environmentalism’s existence."

The Western financiers of the Nazi movement and the Communist movement are also behind the modern Environmentalist movement because it is another political-philosophical channel through which the organization of the mass murder of people can be accomplished and justified. James Delingpole, journalist and author of the book Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors, spoke about the true nature of the Environmentalist cult movement and the purpose of the Global Warming hoax on the Alex Jones show in September.

The Western power elite seek to set up a totalitarian world government and use it to fully implement their depopulation agenda across the world by popularizing the Environmentalist movement and spreading visions of mass death through popular film, television programs, video games, music videos, and other cultural artifacts.

Years of anti-human propaganda by the power elite will desensitize many people to the sights and sounds of mass destruction and mass death. The planned mass murder of human beings in the Middle East, Africa, and across the planet will be explained away in some form or another.

Absurd claims of "too many people" and "not enough resources" are what justify the destructive actions of the demonic elite. They have embraced the dark spirit of the age and they want the rest of humanity to embrace it, too, whether knowingly or unknowingly.

There is a philosophy of death that lies behind the releasing of a mass plague on the global population and staging false flag terrorist attacks to start an endless, global war? According to the Malthusian-Hobbesian-Darwinian historical paradigm, the art of government is the art of population control. The population reduction of the third world, along with certain classes in the West, is one of the shadow aims of the shadow intelligence agencies in the West.

The shadow policy makers at the shadow CIA have a global authoritarian vision for the planet, and the death of billions of human beings is a big part of this vision. Alex Jones has said that the global fascist state will be used as the global mechanism to wipe out the majority of humanity.

This truth is well understood in the shadow world of politics and government. Top level intelligence officers are responsive to the sociopathic elite who have taken control of most governments on Earth and are using their godlike power to conduct a covert war on humanity and freedom.

There is also a spiritual side to the sociopathic elite's global war on humanity. The destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11 by the shadow terrorist states in America and Israel was about the angels of hell marking their territory on Earth and challenging the angels of heaven to a final battle between good and evil. The attacks spiritually signified the death of the masses and the creation of a new global culture and global civilization with English as the global language.

There is no threat of Islamic fundamentalism to America and the West. The clash of civilizations between the West and Islam is just public theatre for the global masses. The war on terror is a collective sideshow. It gives the dogs of war in both camps something to chew on and boost their weak male ego. Its main function is to entertain people, distract them, keep them afraid, and attract their energies, sympathies and emotions so that they don't concentrate on the bigger picture.

Another reason the war on terror is being fought is to destroy both Islamic Islamic civilization and Western civilization, and thereby consolidate economic, military and political power in a new global technocratic civilization, upon the ashes of both destroyed worlds.

So the main event is not a clash of civilizations, but the destruction of mass humanity and industrial civilization. By the time the curtains are pulled down on the war on terror show and the actors of history have left the stage, a couple of billion people will be dead due to engineered crises like a global plague, a global economic depression and a global starvation.

But there is a huge difference today that may prevent the elite from accomplishing their political and spiritual goals. In this apocalyptic age, the Internet gives those of us with the eyes to see and the minds to think the unique opportunity to not only witness the unfolding of the elite's plan for mass destruction and mass death, but put an end to it.

The shadow side of both politics and life is being revealed under the sun of a new age. These are revolutionary times and the forces of darkness can no longer hide their evil plans, atrocities, crimes, and lies from humanity.

Watch Webster Tarpley's educational video, "The Elite's Plan for Global Extermination," for a deeper analysis.

The Killing Fields: Where Government Grows

2011-10-06T08:38:00.000-07:00

Zero Gov
by Bill Buppert
“Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.”
- Thomas Paine

To perversely paraphrase Bastiat: “The state is the great fiction within whose tax jurisdiction it deems itself free to fine, kidnap, cage, maim and kill its taxpayers and tax clients.” It tends to be more gentle with the latter than the former.
High Tax Commissioner Obama recently ordered the robot murder of two acknowledged American citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, in yet another undeclared hostility zone in the Middle East in Yemen. No trial and no appeal, simply the remote control killing of two Americans in a foreign country. No empire in history has ever isolated its more obnoxious and deadly behavior in foreign lands simply to the latest imperial conquest, all the countries have eventually brought it all back to their homelands like disease vectors.

Wait for it because all the bloodshed and dismemberment we have visited on the rest of humanity will be brought home and used with vigor and no restraint whatsoever as the powers that be emanating from Mordor on the Potomac become more and more desperate as their economic ignorance and chicanery force their hand at increased savagery to preserve their way of life. The United Kingdom shows what will happen to a nation that seeks to rule the world, is reduced to colonial rock formations dotted around the globe and starts to practice empire on its own citizens.

We are all used to news coming over the transom everyday of yet more innocent women and children maimed and killed by our troops or their proxies in the multitude of statist squabbles around the globe. We are bludgeoned day after day with the news of cops misbehaving violently across the fruited plain. The prisons are bloated with the largest per capita population on Earth in the land of the free.

Millions of tax dollars are spent in a death penalty system that morbidly worships a premeditated killing of a human being accused of a capital crime.

When stripped of the gaudy music and patriotic bunting, nation states are simply tax jurisdictions whose primary purpose is the forced redistribution of wealth and privilege. We are vampire nation quite literally as tens of millions of hapless subjects are drained of the proceeds of their labor and investment for no better reason than a lack of recourse to say no to the mugger. The wealth is expropriated through taxes, regulations and work rules that choke efficiency and effectiveness at every turn. The rough analog is the Helot relationship to the Spartan ruling class.

You work and follow the rules you did not sign up for in a system rigged to ensure that your compliance is ultimately on pain of death if not followed to the letter. In other words, government promises security in exchange for a disproportionate share of your time and efforts. Slavery is alive and well in America, it is simply of a more ephemeral variety. One is convinced that even though you are not owned directly by a master, your taxing and tithing is necessary to sustain your freedom in exchange for all the good things provided by government. Your non-compliance with any of these diktats from the nomenklatura will result in the aforementioned fining, kidnapping, caging, maiming and killing (one can call this the ladder of slave resistance penalties) depending on the severity of the claim and the resistance of the citizen-slave being taken to task.

In the past, I have often been accused of oversimplification when I point out that the institution and existence of police forces is the one essential element to yoke large herds of humanity to statist plunder. Absent their activities, the politicians would have no means whatsoever to enforce their rapine and murderous ways. None. So let’s peel the onion and examine one of the sustaining beliefs that inform the very essence of police power: the ability of the state to initiate violence. There are reams of busy jurisprudence that speak to the very right of the state to injure and kill its citizens. In order to have the peaceful society that the government insists is its plot and raison d’être, it must have the power to kill. Not only the power for its enforcers to protect themselves but the power to initiate violence; if there were a contract, it would not be one you would sign except under duress (there is a pattern here). The contract would read: you have the right to do what we tell you and if you resist or fail to comply, you are ultimately subject to death at the hands of our enforcers. Period. If said enforcers murder you, they will be subject to investigation by themselves and will most likely go on to enforce more “contracts”.

No matter how petty the crime nor how malum prohibitum the offense, the state has invested itself with the power to kill. It has no choice, for who would willingly surrender without threat of violence nearly sixty percent of their income, allow their family members to be sexually assaulted, or not eat foods the government does not approve of?

The only way a state can sustain itself is to employ the necessary apparatchiks who will do the most heinous acts of violence against their fellow citizens and to codify the willingness to initiate aggression and in the end, maim or kill anyone who resists or refuse to comply. Even if that person is an unarmed homeless man who is 130 pounds dripping wet.

The government is barbarism and not civilization. Much like the moral amnesia that allowed slavery to thrive for five millennia, mankind has been hoodwinked, cajoled and coerced into thinking the state is the only way to organize society and any other notion makes you an outlaw. How many times have you ever questioned the veracity of a law in polite conversation only to hear that must be the way of the world and there is no other method?

There is no greater moral government than a man’s self-ownership and there is no greater injustice than denying that very thing to a man .
Resist.

“It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.”
- Etienne de la Boétie

The 9/11 Delusion: Israel’s False Flag, Jingoism And Inhumanity

2011-09-20T14:12:00.000-07:00

The Peoples Voice

by Jonathan Azaziah

Welcome to hell madames and sirs, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies. Welcome to dystopia, a nightmarish incarnation where Orwellianism flourishes like fungus in the darkness of the forest and American jingoism and Western exceptionalism act as its foundational pillars. Welcome to a world where militarism is the religion of the masses and rituals of piety and righteousness include the spilling of innocent blood in faraway lands, inhabited by the undesirables commonly mislabeled as ‘ay-rabs and moozlums,’ or in classic Orwellian dialect understood in gleeful ignorance by these said masses, ‘extremists, terrorists, fanatics, islamofascists, despisers of freedom, haters of liberty.’

And the god of this sickening hyper-nationalistic religion? In accordance with the most deranged interpretation of monotheism, there can only be one and it is ‘Israel,’ the usurping supremacist entity evilly resting on the land that it usurped from the indigenous, the bones of the innocents that it slaughtered, the roots of the ancient trees that it uprooted and the history that it buried in the ‘nakba,’ Arabic’s chilling word for ‘catastrophe.’ This bastardized historical abomination, with its global matrix of Zionist operatives and sayanim (helpers) furthering its agenda on a second by second basis, which you, the West, bows down before in awe, begging for its acceptance, begging for a place in its dystopian reality, has fooled you all; a ‘nakba’ of your very own, only your nakba is not of unequivocal annihilation like that of the magnificent Palestinians who continue resisting this Zionist creature putrefying their land with each millisecond that passes. No, your nakba is a mental one, of the utmost severity. You suffer from the most horrific delusion known to modern man: the belief in the official 9/11 narrative, the 9/11 myth, the 9/11 mirage, the 9/11 lie of (literally) earth-shattering proportions.

Every last one of you that invokes this event, on that ominous September day in America, New York City specifically, in a disturbing, raging, religious matter to justify your belief that American blood is more precious than all other bloods on earth, that there is no ‘country’ greater than America, that the ‘evildoers’ must pay for what ‘they’ did on that day, is in effect, issuing a betrayal. Because in your jingoism, in your abhorrent, racist exceptionalism that essentially states that you, colonizers and occupiers, have suffered more than any other ethnic, religious or national group throughout the four corners of this globe, you have betrayed your true nature; a nature that you are too brainwashed to recognize even if it was placed directly in your optical pathway... the nature of inhumanity. So desensitized by the nationalistic pornography of the 9/11 narrative, you have become incapable of empathizing with the tens of millions murdered, raped, tortured, maimed, dispossessed and brutalized in your name. In the name of your ‘freedom,’ your ‘democracy’ and laughably, your ‘values.’

Classically defined by the cliched ‘chicken or the egg’ scenario, there is a triad of inquires that must be presented to further comprehend the depth of your impending, if not already unfolding doom. The first: which came initially, your ignorance or your jingoism? Or like sun and moon, land and sea, are the two intimately bound?

One cannot be jingoistic if one is not woefully ignorant and one who is woefully ignorant finds ease in accepting the doctrinal depravity of American jingoism. The second: where did the ignorance and the jingoism originate? Man is not born with the tremendous hindrance of ignorance, he has been naturally endowed with the supreme mental power of questioning; of reflection. This power must be manipulated into a state of non-function; it must be suppressed by an outside power with the sole purpose to take ‘those who question’ into its proximity and crush them, like the relationship between boot and ant. And the third, the king of kings amongst inquiries: you don’t even know who carried out the September 11th horror, do you? You do not even have the slightest clue, the most minuscule idea, do you?

The first inquiry is rendered non sequitur by the second and the second, is amplified as it is unified with the third. The answers to these inquires turn your dream into a nightmare, your happiness into misery, your pathetic excuse of an existence, one that is built chiefly on lies, into an unrecognizable world where truth reigns supreme. The truth is a flavor not known by the taste buds of the masses and though they may not be cognizant of it, they hunger for it in a primal way.

What is ironic, nay, what is the glimmering pinnacle of irony, is that the object of your worship, your deity, that supremacist dragon that refers to itself as the ‘Jewish state,’ which you vehemently and hopelessly believe represents ‘the only true friend that America possesses in the Middle East,’ is the very reason that you are so disturbingly and disgracefully jingoistic. The Zionist creature occupying Palestine is the very reason why your ignorance has reached levels as radioactive as the streets of Baghdad, Basra and Fallujah after your army invaded and hammered Iraq with depleted uranium in March 2003. The usurping regime of ‘Israel’ is the culprit behind the September 11th carnage and it is its international media monopoly that is responsible for manipulating your thought patterns into the warped way that you currently think.

Sorry. Jet fuel did not liquify steel. Jetliners did not turn skyscrapers into dust. Flight 93 didn’t ‘crash’ in Shanksville. And no, Flight 77 didn’t disintegrate into nothing upon hitting the Pentagon. The ‘hijackers’ were patsies run by Zionist intelligence and entertained on the yacht of ‘Israeli’ lobbyist and Zionist extremist Jack Abramoff less than a week before 9/11. Osama Bin Laden? Nothing to do with the events that day, and he vehemently denied any involvement two days after the mass murder of 2,973 innocent Americans, opining that the attack was carried out by the ‘government within the government’ of America, that which is controlled by ‘Israel’ and its wealthy Jewish agents who lay down laws which subjugate the American people. Al Qaeda? Doesn’t exist, a creation of the Zionist regime’s peak-level worshipers in America, selling you a pack of fearmongering lies to mentally browbeat you into submission. A controlled demolition brought down the Twin Towers and the Solomon Brothers Building a.k.a. Building 7, not hijackers; not jetliners. The 9/11 Commission, headed by Zionist Phillip Zelikow, and the report (read: degenerate script of inconsistency and falsehood) it delivered, were/are epic, epic frauds.

So, know this, o’ masses of sheep. Know this as you obey the decrees of ‘Israel,’ your god of death, and make pilgrimage to the ‘hallowed ground’ of Ground Zero, your temple, renewing your allegiance to your cult of breathtakingly boneheaded jingoism on a yearly basis every September 11th. Know that everything that you have ever been told about that September day is a lie. Every. Last. Drop of it.

Swallow it; like the pills forced upon you by the crooked medical industry, side effects and all. Welcome to hell madames and sirs, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies. Welcome to dystopia. Welcome to the world that the Zionist entity built in the wake of 9/11. The following questions are the answers that validate the charge; and validate is indeed the appropriate term, death to ‘alleged,’ to ‘reportedly.’ Death to silence and death to gatekeeping. ‘Israel’ is the culprit and it should be shouted from every rooftop in America, from ghetto to trailer park, barrio to project, Wall Street to Main Street. From there, let it spread like flowers in Spring, defying borders, enlightening all.

Does Isser Harel, founder of Mossad and international war criminal, make you feel ‘proud to be an American?’ On September 23rd, 1979, Harel ominously ‘predicted’ an attack in New York City, on its tallest building. This was no prediction however; it was a sardonic public display of arrogance. Harel was preparing you for the chaos that would rip through Manhattan 22 years later and none of you paid attention. What about Shaul Eisenberg, ‘Israeli’ billion-dollar moneyman and arms dealer, Avraham Bendor, former head of Shin Bet, Peter ‘Zvi’ Malik, Zionist spymaster and Steven Berger, Zionist extremist and former New York Port Authority executive director? Do these men enhance your ability to hear so your ears can more thoroughly enjoy ‘the bombs bursting in air?’ It is these men who orchestrated a supreme operation of subversion in 1987 through an organ of Eisenberg’s empire known as Atwell Security to obtain the blueprints for the World Trade Center and prepare it for Mossad’s controlled demolition on September 11th, 2001.

Does the attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) in 1993 invoke the most nostalgic aspects of your belligerent jingoistic religion, making you gleefully cry out in ‘the dawn’s early light?’ This was the precursor, in which the FBI and Mossad worked together in perfect, murderous unison, executing a false flag of psychological warfare that would remain embedded in the minds of all those onlookers as they blindly accepted the Zionist media’s lies on September 11, 2001, remembering 1993 as the ‘historical precedent.’ It was Rabbi Dov Zakheim’s Tridata Corporation, a subsidiary of Systems Planning Corporation (SPC), that would oversee the investigation of the 1993 op, covering the tracks of FBI and Mossad and absorbing the most intricate pieces of intelligence for it was granted unlimited access to the World Trade Center. Rabbi Zakheim would rear his ugly, conniving, traitorous head again on that infamous September day.

Does the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative think tank founded and comprised of more than thirty Zionists from the upper echelons of the American political and intelligence establishment, make you feel more at home in the ‘home of the brave?’ Founded in 1997, it this group of (mostly) dual ‘Israeli’-American citizens that has put plans in motion to expand America’s already global hegemonic influence even further, through military domination and an open, intimate relationship with the usurping Zionist entity, creating a two-headed war-driven beast, headed by the most ardent of Zionists. It is these men who penned a document one year before the fall of the World Trade Center entitled ‘Rebuilding America’s Defenses,’ in which they called for a ‘new Pearl Harbor’ to serve as the catalyst for their agenda. It is these men who for the last decade, have sent your children and grandchildren to their graves as murderers of Arab and Muslim innocents, all for the sake of reaffirming the power of ‘Israel.’

Do Rita Katz, daughter of an executed ‘Israeli’ spy, former Zionist occupation soldier and founder of SITE Intelligence Group, and Ben Venzke, Mossad agent and founder of the Intel Center, fill you with the very essence of the ‘land of the free?’ It is these two assets of the Zionist intelligence matrix that have been pumping your brains full of Al-Qaeda boogeyman stories, phony ‘Islamic terror’ plots and fake Bin Laden videos for the last decade. It is Katz and Venzke who provide government agencies and the Zionist media with their ‘expertise’ on Arab-Muslim affairs. Expertise, in this context, is synonymous with dissemination of pernicious hasbara. Does the name of ‘Islamic extremist’ Adam Yahiye Gadahn strike fear in your heart? Ben Venzke’s Intel Center has consistently peddled his video messages to the Zionist media. Gadahn is no more an ‘Islamic extremist’ than Katz or Venzke; he is an Ashkenazi Jewish actor, sayan and son of an ADL director.

What of Michael Goff, an agent of Mossad and controller of the subterranean software firm P-Tech, does this man add gleam to the ‘broad stripes and bright stars?’ It is Goff, whose family has done the dirty work of the Zionist entity via their activities in the B’nai B’rith Commonwealth Lodge of Worcester, Massachusetts for decades, who directed the penetration and shutdowns of government computer networks on September 11th through the vast digital reach of P-Tech, triggering (arguably) the most grand security collapse in modern history.

And what of “United 93,” the Hollywood epic that immortalized the myth of Flight 93’s ‘crash?’ Surely, this mesh of smoke, mirrors and hasbara stoked the flames of your ‘patriotism.’ Not a single frame of it was rooted in anything even resembling actuality and its producers were exclusively Zionist, adding another venomous layer to their delusive 9/11 narrative.

Does the sound of the names Lewis Eisenberg, Larry Silverstein, Frank Lowy and Ronald Lauder give you hope in ‘the havoc of war and the battles’ confusion?’ Eisenberg is a dedicated member of the Zionist lobby and chaired the Port Authority at the time of the September 11th attacks. Silverstein is an ultra-Zionist and prominent board member of the intensely pro-Israel United Jewish Appeal.

Lowy is an ex-Haganah terrorist, former Golani Brigades commando and Zionist billionaire. And Lauder is head of the Zionist cosmetics firm, Estee Lauder, a member of at least seven Zionist lobby organizations, founder of a disciplinary school for Mossad on ethnically cleansed Palestinian land and the person predominantly responsible for transferring the World Trade Center from public to private hands; private Zionist hands, that is. These four men orchestrated the privatization of the World Trade Center, finalizing Zionist control over it in the weeks leading up to the attack. Silverstein would take out an anti-terrorism insurance policy on the WTC just 6 weeks before it was brought down and in the aftermath, he would profit in the billions thanks to the finagling of Jewish-Zionist judge Michael Mukasey, who manipulated the insurance case in Silverstein’s favor.

Does the group of ‘Israeli’ citizens identified by the SEC for short-selling 38 stocks and purchasing huge put options on Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AIG, Swiss Re and Munich Re Insurance, United Airlines and American Airlines between August 26th 2001 and September 11th, 2001 make you want to ‘pledge allegiance to the flag?’ All of these companies were directly involved with the 9/11 attacks. The ‘Israeli’ financial crime ring wasn’t investigated to the point of prosecution and those involved most definitely were not arrested. And why would they be? For American Zionists and their tribal cohorts from abroad who commit crimes on US soil, ‘justice,’ as it is perceived in the idealistic legal context, is nonexistent. What about Alan D. Ratner, staunch Zionist and head of Metals Management Incorporated? Doesn’t he make your very being pulsate with the feeling of ‘liberty and justice for all?’ It was Ratner’s firm that purchased 70,000 tons of WTC steel and shipped it off to the Zionist entity’s closest Asian ally, Hindutvadi India, as well as China, eliminating a gargantuan proportion of physical evidence.

Does Michael Bloomberg, brutally ardent Zionist, billionaire and current mayor of New York City, make you feel that the United States of America is ‘indivisible?’ Bloomberg ascended to the mayoral position in the wake of 9/11 and it is he who awarded the cleanup contract to Ratner. It is he who covered up Zionist criminal and AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg’s put option scheme with Bear Stearns and Swiss Re Insurance, further burying Greenberg’s profiteering role in the 9/11 onslaught. And it is he who transformed New York into a quasi-military dictatorship and Islamophobic police state with the help of former CIA chief, David Cohen, a Zionist who headed the agency’s analytical and operational divisions. Cohen has now created New York City’s very own version of the CIA, a mini-intelligence apparatus with full military capability; he, naturally, is its head.

Its primary target has been none other than the Big Apple’s Muslim community, which it has spied on excessively since Cohen arrived in New York just four months after 9/11. NYPD’s raids on the Muslim community are modeled after none other than ‘Israeli’ occupation forces’ savagery in the occupied West Bank. Bloomberg has gone above and beyond ‘zionizing’ New York City; he has put its social and ethnic infrastructure through full blown ‘Israelification.’ For the record, Cohen worked for Greenberg’s AIG before being tapped by Bloomberg.

Speaking of Maurice Greenberg, does this Zionist multi-billionaire and robber of the highest order make the ‘red, white and blue’ on your quintessential flag lapel shine a tad brighter? Do fervent Zionist Jules B. Kroll and stalwart of the New York Zionist community Jerome Hauer do the same? Jules B. Kroll founded the security firm, Kroll Incorporated, which had security dominion over the World Trade Center on 9/11 and in fact had it since 1993 after the Mossad-FBI false flag.

The contract was secured largely in part to the persistence and maneuvering of the aforementioned Rabbi Dov Zakheim. Kroll was a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh-McLennan Companies and AIG, owned by Maurice Greenberg and later, his son, Jeffrey.

Kroll’s primary agent was Jerome Hauer, a close associate of Larry Silverstein. Hauer’s role is especially evil. He placed the Office of Emergency Management inside Building 7, much to the dismay of the NYPD. When Larry Silverstein issued the infamous order to ‘pull it,’ and demolish the structure, classified information in that office, information linking the CIA and several Zionist companies involved with insider trading prior to 9/11, was destroyed with it. Hauer also neutralized a true American patriot, former FBI counter-terrorism chief, John O’Neil, giving him a job in the World Trade Center and setting him up to die when Flight 11 was precision-guided into the secure computer room of Marsh-McLennan Company/Kroll in the North Tower. Hauer, Kroll and the Greenbergs have never even been questioned for their devilish, murderous roles in the 9/11 horror.
Attention must now be returned to one of the earlier assets of the Zionist false flag on 9/11, Rabbi Dov Zakheim. Does the ‘good Rebbe’ make you feel like you reside in a ‘shining city on a hill?’ It is Zakheim who served as the Pentagon Comptroller from 2001-2004, standing alone as the overseer and runner of the DOD’s cashflow. The day before 9/11, Rabbi Zakheim ‘disappeared’ $2.3 trillion, in one of the most scandalous events to ever hit the White House. Before the end of his tenure, another trillion would vanish. The missing trillions would end up in the pockets of the Zionist entity through a ‘military surplus’ package of warplanes delivered by the Zionist-run Bush administration. Zakheim negotiated the transfer.

While your schools, roads and infrastructures rot away in horrific decay, Rabbi Dov Zakheim spends your tax dollars on financing genocide in Lebanon and occupied Palestine. The ‘good Rebbe’ also headed the aforesaid Systems Planning Corporation (SPC), a defense contractor that specialized in remote control technology. SPC was known for its Flight Termination System (FTS), a deadly apparatus with long-range transmitters capable of hijacking a plane mid-flight. Just before 9/11, Zakheim’s firm entered into an agreement with the Pentagon to reformat dozens of 767s with FTS tech. These FTS-equipped planes were what struck the Twin Towers with laser-guided precision on 9/11. And the ‘good Rebbe’ played this crucial role for the good of your ‘freedoms,’ yes?

Ronald Lauder is another criminal Zionist personality whose role must be noted once again, as he assuredly allows you to understand the abyssal meaning of ‘freemen shall stand.’ Prior to privatizing the World Trade Center and assisting its transference to Zionist criminals Silverstein and Lowy, the don of the Estee Lauder empire helped privatize Stewart Airport in Newburgh, New York. It is in the skyways above Stewart Airport, where the flight paths of Rabbi Zakheim’s remote-controlled airplanes, fully formatted with Flight Termination Systems, would converge and make their way to their final destination in Manhattan. To this very moment, Lauder serves in full, Zionist capacity as a Mossad sayan, spewing propagandistic vitriol through the World Jewish Congress against Muslims, Arabs, pro-Palestine intelligentsia and of course, in defense of ‘the only democracy in the Middle East,’ the usurping Zionist enterprise.

Ehud Barak, Ehud Olmert and Benjamin Netanyahu, former and current heads of ‘the only democracy in the Middle East,’ should make your spirit gyrate in joy over the ‘shared values’ of the United States and ‘Israel,’ correct? It is Netanyahu that designed this ‘war on terror,’ which, is nothing but a war of terror against Islam and those who stand in solidarity with it. The mass murdering war criminal wrote a book entitled, ‘The War On Terror: How The West Can Win’ 15 years before the phraseology was ever spouted by the Zionist-owned mainstream media. Netanyahu mocked the victims of Mossad’s 9/11 false flag attack, stating directly after the controlled demolition brought the towers down that it was “good, very good for Israel. It will generate immediate sympathy.” In April 2008, Netanyahu went even further and said “We are benefitting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq.”

It is Barak that catapulted himself onto the UK’s Zionist-run BBC just an hour after the collapse of the Towers, blaming Osama Bin Laden for the attack and calling for a ‘war on terror’ and an invasion of Afghanistan (and Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya). It is Barak that stepped down from his post as ‘Israeli' Prime Minister in March 2001 to serve as an advisor for the NY-based Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a Mossad front partnered with another Mossad front, SCP Partners. This Zionist nexus, led by Barak, secured the thermite explosives used to demolish the World Trade center from several explosives-expert firms in their business portfolio.

Barak, essentially, was the overseer of Mossad’s 9/11 operation. It is Olmert who was in New York City the night before 9/11 in a high-level secret meeting with then-mayor and ‘shabbos goy’ Rudolph Giuliani, making sure the stage was set for the ‘big day.’ Olmert himself is directly tied to ICTS, the treacherous ‘Israeli’ security firm which oversaw all three of the ‘9/11 airports.’ One of the founders of ICTS, Menachem Atzmon, is a close friend and political ally of Olmert (more on ICTS shortly).

Unequivocally, there is no person who embodies America’s ‘Judeo-Christian values’ more than Michael Chertoff, is there? Chertoff, a dual-citizen of the United States and ‘Israel’ and the son of a Talmudic rabbi and one of Mossad’s very first operatives, served as the head of the Justice Department from 2001-2003 before becoming the second Secretary of Homeland Security. If Barak was the 9/11’s overseer, then Chertoff was its chief strategist. 60 ‘Israeli’ spies were detained on 9/11 and 140 more were detained shortly before the event; all of them worked with Aman, the Zionist entity’s military intelligence organ or with IOF itself in the field of explosive ordnance. The spies detained on the day of the NYC tragedy, tested positive for explosives, including the infamous ‘five dancing Israelis’ who worked for a Mossad front known as Urban Moving Systems prior to the attack, gathering intelligence on Arabs and Muslims in the greater New York area to eventually use them as patsies for criminal ‘Israeli’ activity. These spies also worked for Amdocs, the ‘Israeli’ firm of Mossad agent Morris Kahn that collects processing data for 90% of the phone calls, emails, and text messages in America, including several agencies of the federal government.

Many of them also worked for Comverse Technology, run by Zionist intelligence mainstay Kobi Alexander, a firm that equips dozens of law enforcement agencies in America with wire-tapping tech. Alexander also had a minute stake in the Zionist telecom company, Odigo, which he upgraded to full ownership 3 months after 9/11, solidifying a deal with the ‘Israeli’ Ronen brothers, Avner and Maskit. It was an expansion of an already massive Zionist spying operation. Odigo is the firm now known all over the world for warning 4,000 ‘Israelis’ in the New York area with text messages just shortly before Rabbi Zakheim’s planes rammed into the WTC.

Alexander and his Comverse partners, William Sorin and David Kreinberg, both of whom served in ‘Israeli’ intelligence, were under investigation from US federal prosecutors for multiple fraud charges but were allowed to leave the country in utterly bizarre circumstances. One week prior to 9/11, Zim Integrated Shipping Services, an outfit partially owned by the Zionist entity, paid $50,000.00 to break its lease and shift its offices to Norfolk, Virginia. Despite the blatant suspiciousness, no Zim official was ever questioned for the motivation behind leaving such a prime location, in the business capital of the USA, one week prior to 9/11.

What do all of these Zionist-flavored anomalies have to do with Michael Chertoff? Everything. Chertoff’s position in the Justice Department gave him unchecked, unprecedented power over the detention, extradition and sentencing (or lack thereof) of suspects (and would-be suspects like the executives of Zim). Chertoff blocked the efforts of decent FBI men who strove to have the hundreds of ‘Israeli’ spies prosecuted for espionage and terrorism. He supervised the destruction and confiscation of evidence that would have linked the Zionist dragon and its American sayanim to 9/11 like videotapes, eyewitness accounts, written testimonies and debris from Ground Zero. The son of ‘Zion’ saw to it that all ‘Israeli’ suspects were released, without any coverage from the Zionist media or objection from the Bush White House, and under this cloud of non-reporting and non-intervention, he had all of them sent back to the safety of the Zionist entity.

Purging the ‘Israeli’ spy ring from the public’s collective memory, the son of Mossad orchestrated the capture of at least 1,100 Muslim citizens, tourists and immigrants, falsely labeling them as suspects connected to the September 11th attacks. These innocents were tortured in secret facilities, denied access to a lawyer and psychologically abused in secret military tribunals before they were deported, or released back into society with no chance of retribution for the criminal acts committed against them. On the social-political front, Chertoff is the personality solely responsible for the destruction of America’s civil liberty in the post-9/11 era, as it was he who wrote the Patriot Act months in advance of the attack. Chertoff’s Zionist cousin, Benjamin Chertoff, wrote multiple pieces in the 9/11 aftermath, smearing all those who vigorously sought the truth of what really took place on that day.

Would you like some other prominent examples that will unquestionably send your ‘I love America’ meter through the roof?

As discussed earlier, the security of the ‘9/11 airports,’ Dulles, Newark and Logan, was being run by the same Zionist company, ICTS-Huntsleigh, owned and controlled by former Shin Bet agents, Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon. ICTS-Huntsleigh would play a crucial role in the ‘British’ 9/11,’ the 7/7 false flag bombings orchestrated by Mossad and MI5 and it would also emerge as a major beneficiary of the ‘Indian 9/11,’ the 26/11 false flag attack orchestrated by Mossad and its Hindutvadi ally, RAW.

Zionist lawyer Kenneth Feinberg set up the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund at the behest of his overlords in ‘Israel,’ forcing every family that lost someone in the 9/11 attacks to wave their right to sue the Zionist-occupied US government for criminal negligence in exchange for $1.25 million worth of blood money. Alvin Hellerstein, the Orthodox Jewish judge with dominion over all 9/11-related litigation, has blocked legal discovery, prevented a trial from even taking place and steered clear of the public eye to bury his role in 9/11. Hellerstein’s ties to the
Zionist dragon run deep, as his son, Joseph Z. Hellerstein, lives on an illegal Zionist settlement in the occupied West Bank and works for the ‘Israeli’ law firm, Amit, Pollak and Matalon. Joseph’s law firm has a close working relationship with ICTS and the Mossad-run SCP Partners. Alvin and Joseph, prior to their most recent endeavors, previously worked for the historically-Rothschild-linked law firm of Stroock, Stroock and Lavan, which represented ultra-Zionist Larry Silverstein in his acquisition of the WTC lease.

Sheila Birnbaum, the Zionist ‘special mediator’ of Judge Hellerstein’s court, worked vociferously behind the scenes to pressure the families of the 9/11 victims to ensure that there would be no trial and to hurry the implementation of the cover-up. Birnbaum has also been selected to head the multi-billion-dollar Health Fund for the first responders, civilian rescue workers, policemen and others who became extraordinarily sick from the toxic fumes of the asbestos-laden World Trade Center, much to the dismay of the 9/11 victims’ families. Expect large portions of those billions to end up in the hands of Zionist firms and agencies.

Birnbaum is a partner in the Skadden Arps corporate law firm, a Zionist fifth column in the United States that is loaded to the brim with Hebrew-speaking, dual-citizen Zionist attorneys hellbent on assisting ‘Israeli’ companies in raising capital outside of the Zionist entity. Skadden Arps is also deeply linked to the Anti-Defamation League.

James Schlesinger, a devout Zionist and your former Secretary of Defense and ex-director of the CIA, runs a corporation known as MITRE that played a central role in subverting air traffic control networks on 9/11. Schlesinger’s family has historic ties to the Zionist entity, with his father serving as the budget chairman of the Steven Wise Free Synagogue, a known front for ‘Israeli’ fundraising. MITRE is the ‘trusted mentor’ of the FAA and worked hand-in-glove with the previously-discussed P-Tech in reducing NORAD’s grids to rubble on 9/11. MITRE’s software is embedded in FAA offices across the country; everything that goes on in the air on a daily basis in the United States runs through MITRE’s national computer meshwork. Yosef A. Maiman, a Mossad operative that chairs a powerful consortium of ‘Israeli’ energy firms known as the Merhav Group of ‘Israel,’ positioned himself as one of the most influential men in Central Asia by taking control of Turkmenistan’s natural gas and forging an atmosphere where the Zionist entity will be the sole profiteer of energy production in the region via the TAPI pipeline, a Zionist project that runs through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Hindutvadi-controlled India. This is the real reason behind the fascist, destructive invasion of Afghan land.

And it is there where the introspective and exhaustive deconstruction of your jingoism meets its end and the scathing critique of your attitudes and actions from that 9/11 origin point begins. Instead of directing your ire at the vast yet close-knit network of Jewish supremacists who are dedicated to preserving their usurping Zionist regime and their tribal interests through your exploitation and subjugation, you’ve lashed out in xenophobic, racist anger at their victims; their poor, helpless, oppressed victims. You should be marching to every ‘Israeli’ embassy and consulate in the United States of America, demanding its closure and its officials expelled. You should be picketing outside of every ‘Jewish charity’ organization that is nothing more than a front for Zionist operations inside American borders.

You should be demanding that the 300,000 sayanim of the Zionist lobby be deported. You should be screaming incessantly for the boycott of 'Israel.' And you should be volcanically outraged that your children are growing up poverty-stricken while the American government hands over $15-20 billion annually to the Zionist regime, $30,000.00 a year for every ‘Israeli’ man, woman and child, every one of them an occupier, as confirmed by former Congressman Jim Traficant.

Instead, truly in the essence of your ignorance, a glorified state of mental impotence, you slash the throats of Muslim cabdrivers, urinate on the floors of mosques, desecrate the holy book of more than a quarter of the world’s population, beat Arab teenagers to death with baseball bats, jeer, slander and verbally abuse Muslim students from every part of the nation, rip the hijab off of Muslim women and stomp on it in some sort of sick display of American secularism, another Orwellian euphemism for hedonism with a mask of falsely-perceived 'righteousness,' spy on Arabs and Muslims with your murderous intelligence agencies, violating every inch of their civil rights, call for Muslims to be registered and identified with special markings and have your congressman, all of whom of owned by the Zionist entity, hold hearings on the eventuality of placing Muslims in internment camps, like you did to the Japanese 70 years ago.

And then are your troops; yes, your oh-so-special troops. ‘Support them’ you must, ‘God bless them,’ you pray. Meanwhile your troops, your imperial commandos, your bloodthirsty, trigger-happy maniacs in uniform, are not defending your freedoms or ‘fighting them over there before they have to fight them over here,’ they are engaging in crimes against humanity of the highest order; genocide, the heinousness of which, the world has yet to fully process. And they are perpetrating this inhumanity for ‘Israel,’ for its preservation as the ruling state of this globe; spilling Amalekite blood unstoppably in a ritual sacrifice to ‘bring liberation.’ The Amalekites, ancient enemies of Zion, modern day’s Arabs, Persians and Muslims, must be killed for ‘Israel’ to satisfy its bloodlust. What liberation, you ask?

Liberation of resources from indigenous, sovereign hands to be delivered into the greedy paws of Zionist beasts. Don’t you know that the Zionist god of your jingoistic, halfwit ‘faith’ considered 9/11 a strategic advantage and a ‘pressure reliever’ on the international stage? Don’t you know that the Talmudic rabbinate, the real governors of world Jewry and global Zionism, sincerely think that 9/11 is the fulfillment of a prophecy that they wrote about four centuries ago? Don’t you know that they think it is the culmination of the ‘Judgement of Nations?’

Afghanistan, a once breathtaking Islamic landscape of mountains and mineral–rich ravines, has been transformed into a ravaged, occupied narcotics-riddled deathbed by NATO, the Zionist dragon’s attack dog. More than 7 million Afghans are starving because of this cruel, unrelenting occupation. White phosphorus and depleted uranium can be found in the linings of more than 1.5 million graves of men, women and children, murdered by occupiers for Zionist energy interests. The once-flourishing pomegranate industry has been pummeled into nothingness by the occupation. Now? Only heroin trafficking flourishes and it is 100% controlled by Mossad and its partners in the CIA and RAW.

Are you even capable of fathoming the level of this destruction; of this ongoing massacring of human beings, no different than you or your loved ones? Imagine your family and closest friends torn to smithereens by a bunker buster bomb while they watched their favorite sport, or your youngest and most precious daughter ripped from her bed in a night raid by masked men holding machine guns and raped, repeatedly, and then shot in her head before you and your husband were killed next. This is Afghanistan, every. Single. Day. Without fail. There is a gut-wrenching plethora of stories to tell, too many, really, as the ten year anniversary of the illegal occupation approaches. So, there will simply be one; one which embodies the NATO-Zionist savagery in its entirety. It was March 1st, 2011, when NATO dropped a bomb in Kunar Province, slaughtering 9 Afghan children collecting firewood. Do pieces of firewood threaten America’s ‘national security?’ 9 children, each one a beacon, snuffed out in a blaze; snuffed out like the embers of a campfire fading away.

Iraq, the Arab-Muslim world’s oozing, infected wound of sorrow and agony, was once the gemstone of Arabia, a ‘first-world’ social utopia where education, health care and science prospered. Now, Iraq is a rotting corpse; an annihilated garden in which only the soulless flowers of occupation, resource theft and Zionist-controlled prostitution and human trafficking grow mightily, in the sunlight of despair. 5 million Iraqis, inside and outside their homeland, have been transformed into vagabonds, or refugees if you prefer the pretty term. 5 million Iraqi children have been orphaned, their parents murdered, imprisoned or ‘disappeared’ by the occupation. 80% of Iraqis have no access to sanitation, 43% live in abject poverty and 70% are unemployed, but their government, nay, the group of collaborationist thugs claiming to be their government, installed by fraudulent, Zionist-manipulated means, spends an obscene amount of its time and (Iraq’s) money on negotiations with Zionist firms aching to suck away Iraqi resources. The occupation’s shooting and bombing of innocents, black site torture centers and the P2OG-Mossad nexus’s daily onslaught of car bombs are the new norms for the people of Iraq. All designed by bloodthirsty PNAC, years in advance.

Fallujah, where the occupation unleashed a devastating medley of napalm, mark-77, white phosphorus and depleted uranium, is a place where the flesh of innocents becomes water and their bones become sand but since their remains are too radioactive to absorb, the earth spits them back out in pain. Basra, where depleted uranium is as common as the most ancient of Iraqi dates, is place that has burned in violent semi-nuclear conflagration for more than two decades, where cancer in children is normal like their play on a summer day and mothers scream out in rage, in sadness, because they have just given birth to another baby with two heads; three hands; three legs; their organs on the outside; a misshapen body; an exposed brain; horror, on top of unspeakable horror. Karbala and Najaf, places of peace, unity and holiness, shake uncontrollably, every day, as car bombs planted by Mossad operatives rip mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, sheikhs and pupils, to shreds as they bow before their Creator, begging for freedom from the hell brought down upon their heads by the Zionist dragon and its PNAC agents. Their prayers are answered, in martyrdom. Iraq, a gaping hole in humanity’s conscious, the flow of innocent blood endlessly streaming. The body count is over 2.5 million since the occupation began.

Pakistan, an Islamic Republic known for its righteousness, supreme brilliance and lightning progression in the nuclear, military and intelligence fields, has been turned on its head and kicked repeatedly by the Zionist dragon in the wake of 9/11.

It is where American predator drones murder families from above in the most cowardly fashion known to man, like a video game, and a unified front of Zionist and Hindutvadi intelligence operatives murder families on the ground, with car bombs, motorcycle bombs, IEDs and shootings behind the cover of a mask. The grand strategic objective of international Zionism in Pakistan is to confiscate the Islamic Republic’s nuclear arsenal, subsequently disintegrating the society from a moral perspective and leading it away from Islam. Contrary to what you have been told by the hasbaraniks, propagandists and liars of the Zionist media, Islam is not a ‘terror religion;’ it is a code of ethics, politics and spiritual Resistance that serves as the last remaining opposition to Zionist Jewry on planet earth. Your ‘blessed and beloved’ troops, sit behind computer screens, murdering children and others civilians in the thousands across Pakistan, totally oblivious to why they’ve even been given a chair to begin with.

Yemen has been turned into a living nightmare, where at least one predator drone strike is carried out every day. Hundreds of innocents have been murdered in these senseless acts of insane violence; these illegal crimes against all that is good and pristine. And for what? Why is Obama the bomber, America’s ‘first Jewish President’ according to the Zionists that nurtured him and brought him into power, bombing Yemen? Because of Al-Qaeda? The same Al-Qaeda that doesn’t exist and never has existed? No, ‘the first Jewish President’ is bombing Yemen because the more Amalekites that are dead, the happier the Zionists are. Somalia, once at peace, a time that seems to have existed more than a millennia ago, is now quite literally struggling for its very survival as the Zionist Power Configuration and its imperial marionettes manipulate famine and drought, while mixing in drone strikes and torturous black site prisons, under the watchful eye of a joint Western-backed AU-UN occupation. Tens of thousands of innocents have paid in blood for these Zionist tactics; paid with their very lives. Libya, despite all of the Zionist media's farcical ‘revolution’ coverage, is becoming another Iraq right before the eyes of the world, and every bit of misery, every frame of the bloodshed, has been organized by ‘Israel.’

The Islamic Republic of Iran and Syria are being prepped for their moment on international Zionism’s chopping block and, as if it even needs to be said, Lebanon, occupied Palestine and occupied Kashmir are all suffering immeasurably at the hands of the Zionist entity (and its Hindutvadi partner in crime in Kashmir) which upped its oppression ten fold with the inauguration of Netanyahu’s ‘war on terror’ construct. The genocides known as the July War of 2006 and Operation Cast Lead are still excruciatingly singed into the memories of every Arab, every Muslim, every lover of humanity across the globe. Statistically, in terms of numbers, around 1,665 9/11s have occurred throughout the Islamic world at the hands of this Zionist criminal network since 9/11. There was a 9/11 happening every single day in the opening years of the illegal Zionist occupation of Iraq. Remember this when you disconnect from this plane and begin speaking in tongues; ‘never forget,’ you idiotically and pseudo-religiously spout. Your 9/11 is unique in a regard however, because it never happened to you before. 9/11-like massacres in the world of the ‘ay-rabs and moozlums’ continue happening with disturbing regularity and the only reply that you can offer is silence; deafening, wide-eyed silence.

The occupied, oppressed lands of the everyday 9/11s will not be free until the reason why they are occupied and oppressed is openly discussed, and that reason is the Mossad-orchestrated 9/11 false flag attack. In the same breath, those who seek truth about the events of September 11th are not complete in their quest until they are simultaneously seeking justice for those across the Islamic world who have been devastated in the aftermath of the Zionist pretext. Justice for the occupied, oppressed lands, Palestine in particular, and 9/11 truth are conjoined at the hip of struggle; a struggle against the Zionist regime that sits at the head of all of this global insanity. It is this struggle, for (9/11) truth and justice, that the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL) dubs 'anti-Semitic,' a disgraceful phrase that fully represents Zionist racism and Jewish supremacism, as if the suffering of one group of people sits high above the suffering of all others, a suffering that, to start, has been largely exaggerated and manipulated over time by the rabbinical elite who have sysmetically oppressed their own communities. The ADL, a rotten Zionist organization of mob lawyers founded with the money of confederate Jewish slave owners, kept alive with funds from the Jewish mafia, most notably Lansky lieutenant Moe Dalitz, and now functioning as a wing of 'Israeli' intelligence that conducts spying for the supremacist entity, has been instrumental in discredting 9/11 truth seekers who long to have Zionism punished for its crimes on American soil and abroad. 'Never forget' that this group of Zionist thugs wants your dissent silenced.

‘Never forget’ is a phrase that should be invoked only if truth and nothing but, accompanies its essence as it is channeled from your brain to your tongue. Never forget that the American 9/11 victims and all of the victims coldly murdered after the fact, are united in their innocence and united in their martyrdom. They are united by the identify of their killers: Zionists, Jewish supremacists, sayanim, Mossad, Aman, Shin Bet, Talmudic extremists; these are the criminals, different heads of the same Zionist hydra. ‘Never forget’ this fact. Remember this unforgiving tidbit when you think of those incinerated by Mossad explosives in the Twin Towers. Remember it when you think of the Afghan boys blown to bits while collecting firewood. Remember it when you think of Abeer Qassem Hamza al-Janabi, the 14-year old Iraqi girl of Yusufiyyah gang raped and murdered by occupying forces along with her family; remember all like her in occupied Iraq.

Remember it when you think of the families incinerated by predator drone hellfire missiles while they’re praying in their mosque in Pakistan, playing in their gardens in Somalia or eating in their homes in Yemen. Remember it when you think of the NATO mustard gas and depleted uranium that has devastated the Libyan town of Bani Walid. Remember it when you think of Lebanon, its homes, mosques, hospitals, schools and churches cluster bombed to death by the Zionist dragon during the July War. Remember it when you think of the malevolent massacres carried out by ‘Israel’ in occupied Palestine, from Jenin to the illegally besieged Gaza Strip. ‘Never forget’ that humanity is what unites all of us in this struggle to the death against this monolithic Zionist menace.

Remember all of this on your next pilgrimage to the ‘hallowed ground’ of Ground Zero, New York City. Remember this as you put your ignorance in a coffin, in the name of truth, and your jingoism right next to it, in the name of justice. Remember this as you reevaluate the ‘monotheistic god’ that you’ve been tricked into believing in, ‘Israel.’ Remember that this murderous Zionist entity is nothing more than a cloud of falsehood; one swift wind of truth renders it useless, meaningless, inconsequential. Remember that it is a false god, an idol, drilled into your consciousness by the Zionist media and like all idols before it, its only destiny is that of fragmentation after being smashed by harbingers of fact and destroyers of myth.

Remember that the 9/11 delusion will die when it is recognized as such and when the victims of it, from New York City to occupied Afghanistan and everywhere in between, are recognized as the same, precious innocents; all of them. With this, the inhumanity against Muslims, Arabs and their friends, forced upon the world by the Zionist dragon, will die too. From that moment, the next phase of the struggle for liberation can be initiated; the struggle to rebuild our societies destroyed by this Zionist world system and more specifically, this ‘war on terror,’ a colonial crusade against Islam forged in the fiery dungeons of Jewish supremacism. What lies before us is a struggle of reconstruction, based on truth, justice, unity and humanity.

Glorious humanity. This, more than anything, frightens the Zionist entity and shakes it to the very core because, humanity is the antithesis to Zionism. It is the force that will transform the global ‘Israeli’ empire into nothing but a blip on the radar of history. And it is coming soon; so, so very soon. Insha’ALLAH.

Inner Freedom Comes First

Brandon Smith

Is freedom a place, or an idea? A state of society, or a state of mind? Does it begin around us, or within us? In today’s world of the all-you-can-eat sensory buffet, where every facet of life is a bit and a byte and a radio wave and a laser beam, most of humanity looks for all of its answers to such questions in the grand ether of the tumbling data stream. We see changes in the tapestry of cultural interaction as the final measure of national progression, or regression. We confuse forward sounding language with forward moving political transformation. We are mesmerized by the illusion of environmental appearance, and forget that the indelible root of all things outward is nurtured by that which lay within.

In America, in the midst of economic crisis and government driven moral hazard, millions of people are scrambling for “solutions”. The term is used rather haphazardly and often without proper context. There are, indeed, very evil men out there in the dark precipices of global infrastructure, and, these men often instigate very bad events. However, “doing away with them” is NOT a solution. It is NOT a plan. It is merely a goal. A solution requires more than an end result; it also involves the steps necessary to achieve said result. The Liberty Movement, as it is commonly called, tends to run into so much frustration and angst, I believe, because it consistently attempts to skip to the end of the story without traveling the rest of the very necessary journey.

End the Fed! Sue the Fed! March on Washington! Vote the bums out! Take up arms! These are not actions, but reactions triggered by the confusion of the moment. Not only are they single minded responses that lack the strategy and logistics inherent in a successful counter-offensive, but such cries ignore the other devious culprit responsible for our national heartache; ourselves.

Yes, the world must change, and soon, if our principles are to survive. But, for this to happen, we must change first. Instead of looking up, down, and all around us for some magical all encompassing answer, we have to question our very assumptions and world views. No weapon of steel or of law will ever undo the tragedy we live in day to day while we lack the conviction to confront our own biases and failings. We have always been the greatest obstacle to a truly freedom based society, not the elites, who are nothing but parasites feeding off our willfully perpetuated inadequacies.

Working methodologies for combating globalization and centralization do exist. State nullification, for instance, is a significant tool for defusing obtrusive federal authority, but without the organizational willpower and perseverance to take back the now thoroughly corrupt election process county by county, state by state, while producing viable liberty minded candidates and grassroots activist groups, nullification is impossible. Survival preparation is essential for anyone who wishes to decouple from the collapsing mainstream system, but without the determination to make prepping a reality, we are left with nothing but a bunch of hungry, desperate nobodies huddled on the sidelines of the war for truth.

Barter networking and alternative markets require extensive patience and unerring dedication, along with constant self education on the processes of sound money and private trade. Safe Haven and Free State Projects push us even harder, requiring us to uproot from everything we have been conditioned to accept as normal and comfortable, and travel, perhaps long distances, to begin anew in a place likely unfamiliar. All of these things involve an internal finality of purpose, a clear and unwavering path unhindered by regret. Those who undertake the above initiatives do so not because they were “told to”, but because they know, above all else, that what they are doing is right. They no longer stand in their own way, and thus, the possibilities become infinite.

For others, the endless circular battle between action and apathy continues. Below, are some of the most frequent excuses uttered by those aware of the burgeoning dangers of a disintegrating culture but who are incapable of taking the first steps of inward freedom needed to do anything about their predicament…

1) I know things are getting bad in this country, but I only have time to focus on my own problems right now…

Your immediate problems are certainly yours to solve, but they are also very likely an aftereffect of the wider problems of the world around you. Ironically, only by taking personal responsibility for the problems of the world can we alleviate the incredible pressures of our microcosmic existence. That is to say, by taking action against the trespasses of global economic and socio-political despotism, you are doing yourself and your private life a big favor.

2) I believe that a collapse (social and economic) is possible, but just can’t imagine things ever going that far…

What you can’t “imagine” is generally pretty irrelevant when considering the FACTS of any given situation. Educating one’s self on the history of modern economic and political instability is a step that many seem to overlook before drawing conclusions on the state of America today. Without a point of reference to refer to, these people are left completely in the mire as to the very real threats that lay ahead. Many of them actually avoid learning the background details of similar crises like those in Weimar Germany, Soviet Russia, Argentina, Zimbabwe, etc., because doing so would mean room for denial would disappear. Yes, our country will see darker days ahead, perhaps pitch black. Refusing to prepare for the worst will not stop the worst from happening. Never, ever, assume a disaster will “blow over”.

3) I just don’t have the money to get into survival prepping right now. Maybe I will start when I get some savings in order…

In some cases (very few) this excuse is acceptable. But, in many others it is complete nonsense. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve run into that make this claim while continuing to spend money on non-essential luxuries. Do you still have cable T.V.? Get rid of it! It stinks anyway. Do you buy a new computer every six months? Well stop! The gigs and ram you have now are probably more than adequate. Do you pour money into personal vices like drugs, cigarettes, or beer? Quit! There will be no room for them post collapse anyway. There is always money for prepping, even if it’s a little every month. The obstacle is not funding. The obstacle is your unwillingness to sacrifice certain comforts for more important investments.

4) I would delve into sound money, but it all seems too complicated…

I’ll make this simple; buying gold and silver is NOT complicated. In fact, it is very easy. If something feels “complicated”, then simply uncomplicated it by educating yourself using the numerous resources still available on the internet or your local library. Knowledge is (at this time) everyone’s prerogative. Liberty starts not with the words in an article or a book, but the decision to actually sit down and read that article or book with an open mind. Make that decision now!

5) I feel isolated, and would like to move to a safe haven with more like-minded people, but am afraid of not finding work, or leaving behind that which is familiar…

Safe Haven relocation is not for everyone, but many can at least admit that they probably live in an unstable and violence prone environment sensitive to economic unrest. Many can also admit that they do not have the support network required to survive such an event. This choice ultimately comes down to priorities. When the survival of yourself and your family is on the line, does it really matter if you are “familiar” (i.e. comfortable) with your current location? In a crumbling marketplace, is it better to take your chances with a job that you know will soon no longer exist, or to take your chances in an alternative market with increasing growth? Is it better to wait until doom is ringing the doorbell? Or, is it more practical to take measures now to insulate yourself from the storm? Learning to prioritize means learning to set aside what we want in the face of what we need.

6) I would like to become more of an activist, but isn’t it better to “keep a low profile”, and avoid retribution from the power elite…?

Fear is the most repressive internal obstacle of all. Tyrants do not conquer countries; fear conquers countries. As I have said before, when the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, they did not sign it “Anonymous”.

It is every free man’s duty to stand behind his own convictions. Holding them quietly in the corner of the room gets us nowhere. This is not to say that all our thoughts and activities should be made public, but if you can’t build up the gumption to speak the truth in the wake of a lie then you aren’t of much use to anyone, especially yourself. There is nothing illegal about organizing against corruption, and even if there was, it wouldn’t matter. Fighting for freedom means being audacious, and sometimes unconcerned about the supposed “consequences”.

While we speak often of safety and preparedness, these things at bottom are also only important so far as they support our ability to put ourselves on the line for the future of our ideals. There is no room for apprehension here…

The purpose of the above is not to “shame” those in the movement who remain inactive, but to clear the fog that tends to surround any new and powerful movement against the rush of the totalitarian wildfire. We continue to look for white-knight leaders, short cut slapdash solutions, and even miracles to somehow save us from doing what we dread most; facing the fact that we are the greatest prognosticators of our own fates. We are the ones who choose freedom, or slavery. In the soft light of fading glory, only those who blaze their own trails will see the road ahead. To each man awaits a multitude of perils and rewards, all of which depend upon his inner resolve; a quality which stands upon the summit of the soul, against the wind, and the unrelenting cold.

Question Authority: Always and Forever Hereafter

2011-08-27T08:38:00.000-07:00

Zero Gov
by Bill Buppert

Publisher’s Note: I published this almost two years ago and it still rings true. I was asked at the Freedom Summit in 2010 after my speech during questions what was the most important tool or consideration for surviving the coming bad times. Most expect me to expound on G3 (Gold, Guns and Groceries) but I responded that critical thinking was, first and foremost, the most important and vital weapon in the armory. Nothing even comes close. Much like the overweening importance of prioritizing skills over equipment, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Your lack of skepticism toward the powers that be is what enabled the very walls to be erected in these tax jurisdictions shaped like penitentiaries called nation-states.

You live in a civilization whose entire rationalization is based on a few brutal misconceptions among which is that the state must have the power to fine, cage, maim and kill anyone it wishes at will and all your friends, family and neighbors are YOUR property. If that were not the case, how could the state possibly enable the massive theft of time, resources and property on a daily basis to feed the groaning leviathan that provides all those vital goods and services the government/media complex trumpets triumphantly about daily to include America’s largest export, killing recalcitrant brown people who refuse to submit? Through the proxy of the state, you have personally signed on to an evil compact that permits, nay compels , the government to act in the beastly and ghastly way it does every day. All of your socialist and neoconservative friends won’t admit it but you are THEIR property otherwise how would they fund the beasts in DC and its political subsidiaries in the states? They even have the wherewithal to commit you and your progeny to obligate to pay down future debt leveraged against their future; even though the dimmest economists know it will all collapse in the end (except Paul Krugman whose statist bloodlust knows no bounds).

Accept nothing at face value and your life will be richer. This has nothing to do with formal education or a philosophy degree or allowing others to think for you because they are smarter than you. No one is smarter than you in your own world because they aren’t…you.

Think outside the box and question all authority outside your family. Your life and the bright future of your children depends on your ability to do the intellectual heavy lifting and figure out that most everything you were taught in the government schools was a lie and that practically anything claimed by the government has one raison d’être: to compel your unquestioning obedience and servitude to the state and to ensure that its existence will always trump yours. -BB

Human progress is furthered, not by conformity, but by aberration.
~ H.L. Mencken

For some time, I have been trying to figure out why the nation and we as individuals are in the fix we are in now. Many reasons manifest themselves. We labor under a government of such monstrous reach and epic incompetence that it makes the Soviets now look like a paragon of efficiency and probity. We suffer under a ruling class that has not simply been a gangster government under Obamunism but has been this way since the defeat of the original Constitution in 1865. With each illegitimate war since 1898, the power of the Federal government has increased exponentially. With each manufactured crisis, liberties and freedoms have withered and died. This is simply the latest and greatest improvement in the ongoing process of our overseers to find emerging ways to increase the output of our slavery.

I have alluded before that we live in the country and have occasion to run across orphaned animals. We have horses and chickens and other assorted animals on the Circle A Ranch. My wife happens to be a fantastic gardener and the reincarnation of Dr. Doolittle. We discovered by following the horrid cacophony of rabbit screams three orphaned cottontails, two of which promptly died. My wife is now nursing the survivor and hoping to brighten his life expectancy in this mortal coil.

As is her wont, she is an inveterate researcher and proceeded to go on the ‘net and search out advice on care and feeding of a rabbit which is not one of our areas of husbandry expertise. What struck her were the countless admonitions to seek government assistance and report it to wildlife “authorities” or the zoo. I look around and converse with colleagues and associates to find my fellow Americans increasingly frightened or unfamiliar with doing anything without someone’s permission. Whether at work or play, we:

obey speed limits that have nothing do with safety and simply provide revenue to our rulers
pay property taxes which inevitably increase the yoke around our necks locally and pay for the intellectual suicide pact call government schooling
pay extraordinary sales taxes on local and state purchases to subsidize the countless layers of bureaucracy that choke citizen and business productivity everyday
stop locally at a US Border Patrol checkpoint nearly twenty miles north of the Mexican border to be asked if we are American citizens and a visual check of the interior of our vehicles
sit idly by while the various levels of government erect observation devices at traffic intersections to increase revenue streams
receive property tax bills on our real estate which increase in assessment while market prices decrease
are required to have permission from the US Forest Circus or National Park Service to hunt, play or work on lands expropriated by our betters in government

I have discovered the silver bullet and it is from the University of the Intuitively Obvious: question authority and maintain a skeptical attitude about all facets of government and governance. That’s it…simple. Even those of us who have invested considerable intellectual heavy-lifting in discerning why the government in all its consistent brutality and blood-raged destruction commands such a loyal and slavish quality in men are baffled by the absence of this simple epistemological tool to ask why on a consistent basis from stem to stern. If enough vigilance is maintained at the outset and embryonic stages of so much government mischief, much of the madness could be strangled in its statist cradle through peaceful discourse, non-compliance, shunning and development of innovative strategies to sabotage the government’s machinations. Most government programs start out with promises of nirvana and positive outcomes but the history of man shows that this is essentially iatrogenic and hubristic. The state is a violent actor by necessity to preserve its power and expand it, so inevitably the promises dissolve into a nightmarish brew of incompetence, lethality and baleful societal consequences and we are stuck with the myriad Frankenstein monsters shambling about with the vague promises of eternal goodness and heaven on earth.

One may say that the horse is out of the barn and we are truly stuck with the state of affairs and no amount of reform will fix DC and its loyal minions at this stage of their maturation and dominance and you would be correct. The rub is this: the FEDGOD will fall and it will be in the next 12—24 months and much like the USSR, it will perish of its own internal Marxoid contradictions. Foreign wars, self-induced economic calamity and sheer naked arrogance will force it to fold and dissolve as a ruling elite. This is a window that rarely opens and the opportunities will be tremendous — for both sides. The furloughed politicos will spread their contagion when they flee the ruins of the DC power structure and seek to encourage the usual suspects among government workers and gullible subjects to help resurrect this monstrosity that has been astride our necks like a decomposing albatross.

Truth serum will be necessary and that all starts with the kind of skepticism and incredulity that seems to characterize most everything we do except our attitude toward our rulers. Cross-examination is the engine of truth. Question every bit of alleged government authority which emerges from the ashes. This is one reason Thomas Jefferson was agitating for constant revolt for the tree of liberty. Government is a fungal growth that cannot be checked without constantly striking the root and taking whatever measures are necessary to curb its growth.

You won’t find this kind of critical thinking taught in the universities or any facet of the school systems because skepticism and clear thinking will be the end of them and the whole rotting mold growth choking American civilization called government. When was the last time you saw a government sponsored university study which called for the reduction and/or elimination of a statist rule or department? You don’t have to be a philosophy major or graduate to realize that Socratic drilling works. This is simply the process where you repeatedly ask why to a set of explanations until either you are satisfied the meritorious answer has been given or the shoddy intellectual construction is bared for all to see. It bears repeating: the entire artifice of the state is based on the threat or employment of violence to meet its ends, so it is morally illegitimate and reprehensible from the starting blocks. You have the moral high ground because all government for the most part is an elaborate shell game to develop proxy relationships with servant classes who obey at the urging of a lash or worse for the material and power benefit of the ruling class. Wake up, helots!

This is the chance we have. A dozen, fifty or hundreds of resistance and secessionist entities are going to move into the vacuum left by the great sucking abyss of the FEDGOD collapse. Hundreds of laboratories will emerge to test every variant of political collective and ordered enterprise imaginable. I have little hope for the subjects and somnambulant mental zombies that stumble around the cities of the Left Coast and the Northeast (Vermont and New Hampshire excepted) will do anymore other than instantly resurrect facsimiles of DC patterns of rule and other processes of national socialism but between the Marxist coastlines; the life and times of ordinary Americans will take extraordinary turns to develop from scratch freedom-oriented communities and spasms of spontaneous order. People may finally awaken and look at their neighbors and try to do the right thing. They may seek a system that asks, persuades and cooperates instead of bullies, collectivizes and forces through violent means the shape and texture of human relationships. They will be the vanguard of the men and women who finally awaken from the five millennia fever-dream of enabling various strangers the power of life and death over thousands and millions simply because they have surrendered the most basic right of all; leave us the hell alone.

Turn off the television, grab a book(s) and have conversations with family and like-minded friends. Go out and do things. Start a garden, fix your fencing, move to the country and reach out to the community you live in. Open your mind to the possibilities before us. Most of all, question every aspect of your relationship with authority. Does it derive from fear or respect? Does it emanate from first-hand experience or second-hand knowledge? How many times have you truly asked why a certain bureaucratic edict must be followed? More importantly, what is your line in the sand where your servitude stops and your resistance begins? Just say no to big government. Once a man establishes his limitations for tolerance of interference in his life and adopts a resolute stand against the forces buffeting him against his will, the world will change.

If you are still reading this, you are the Resistance.

Government is a Death Cult

2011-08-14T16:17:00.000-07:00

Zero Gov.com

July 15th, 2011

by Bill Buppert

“Death solves all problems – no man, no problem.”
- Joseph Stalin

Government is a death cult. It is the most profound mechanism outside of planetary extinction events to rid the globe of human beings. There have certainly been disease vectors like the plague in medieval times that wiped out significant parts of Europe but even that can be attributed to human volition to a certain extent.

Since the first agricultural communities attracted the government predator’s eye thousands of years ago and led to the tax accountancy records Charles Adams first pointed out to us. Hunter gatherer communities were quite a bit more difficult to pin down and cage within the confines of a tax jurisdiction. Tax jurisdictions are the center of gravity for governments to germinate and expand their nefarious enterprises.

Whether the murderous paroxysms of violence in the endless wars created by tax jurisdictions dressed in fancy bunting and flags in ancient times or today have more advanced killing machines, the mission is the same. Peter McCandless is fond of saying that a government will ultimately kill you for non-compliance of a seatbelt violation if your lack of obedience and insistence on resistance continues and escalates.

The more extreme examples of bureaucratized slaughter and mayhem visited on populations by governments are illustrative of the potential of every government to do the same. That is the genius of government, not only to elevate the absolute worst psychopaths to positions of power because they seek to rule others by default but it industrializes murder machines. How else can one explain the killing fields in Kampuchea, the bone yards in the former USSR and the mass starvation campaigns either inadvertently or intentionally launched against subject populations? From Rwanda to Armenia under the Turks to the North American aboriginal destruction in 18^th and 19^th century America, governments kill. That is their ultimate failsafe mechanism. If their power is threatened in any fashion, the cage and the sword and the grave are essential tools of governance.

Beria's Death Warrant for 20,000 Polish Officers

During the War to Save Josef Stalin

Let’s travel down memory lane:

Many thanks to Dr. Rummel for the research he has pioneered in this effort.

The Russian attempts to starve significant parts of the Ukraine under Stalin’s reign:
Conquest quotes the later testimony of an activist:

“I heard the children…choking, coughing with screams. It was excruciating to see and hear all this. And even worse to take part in it…. And I persuaded myself, explained to myself. I mustn’t give in to debilitating pity…. We were performing our revolutionary duty. We were obtaining grain for the socialist fatherland….

Our great goal was the universal triumph of Communism, and for the sake of that goal anything was permissible — to lie, to cheat, to steal, to destroy hundreds of thousands and even millions of people….

This was how I had reasoned, and everyone like me, even when…I saw what “total collectivization” meant — how they “kulakized” and “dekulakized,” how they mercilessly stripped the peasants in the winter of 1932—3. I took part in this myself, scouring the countryside, searching for hidden grain…. With the others, I emptied out the old folks’ storage chests, stopping my ears to the children’s crying and the women’s wails. For I was convinced that I was accomplishing the great and necessary transformation of the countryside; that in the days to come the people who lived there would be better off for it….

In the terrible spring of 1933 I saw people dying from hunger. I saw women and children with distended bellies, turning blue, still breathing but with vacant, lifeless eyes…. I [did not] lose my faith. As before, I believed because I wanted to believe.”

You will note here on this page that delineates anthropogenic killing globally that it wasn’t simply the bad communists (although they get the gold medal in sheer numbers) but the UK was responsible for 4 million Indian dead in Bengal during Churchill’s little known escapades raping India during WWII in 1943 (a passing mention of the possible 20 million dead during the Indian famines of 1876-78 and 1899-1900) or the 1.5 million dead during the Irish potato famine[s] in the 19^th century.

The Black War (1828-32) in Australia against the aboriginals is especially terrifying because they almost managed to exterminate every man, woman and child.

I mention these western holocausts to illustrate that history’s traditional mass murderers, the Communists and Socialists, aren’t the only authors of such barbaric behavior. Mind you, plenty of this behavior took place outside of acknowledged warfare such as Stalin and Mao’s efforts to kill the non-compliant and disobedient.

In the end, ALL governments seek to maim and kill the non-compliant because obedience is the signal contribution of ANY citizen in a tax jurisdiction yesterday, today and tomorrow.

In America, absent the overwhelming presence of armed bureaucrats, how many of even the most brain-dead subjects in America would comply with a fraction of thousands of intrusive and destructive laws on the books?

Your collaboration with a system that practices such barbaric behavior on a mass and industrial basis is the key to government’s legitimacy and its very ability to have fractional elements of tens of thousands of “law enforcers” cow millions of shambling sheep to be disposed of as the government wishes; especially the recalcitrant and rebellious black sheep who no longer desire the fetters and are increasingly losing their fear of the noose. Why do you think that “officer safety” happens to prize the value of the cop’s life higher than any mere citizen or subject?

One recalls that scene in Braveheart where the King’s aristocrat declares that an assault on the King’s men is an assault on the King himself. How romantic. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said: “Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.” Initiated violence is the government’s bread and butter and any active defense against its depredations is always received by the rulers rather dimly.

The only reason you are not yet dead is because the government has not found a sufficient reason or lacks the wherewithal to kill you. Yet.

“There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.”

Police and Terrorism: One and the Same

2011-08-12T08:25:00.000-07:00

Cop Block
by Bill Ruppert

“I said to (Haynes) that if we come up short and there are some acquittals in our cases, it will at least validate the process.”
“At which point, his eyes got wide and he said, ‘Wait a minute, we can’t have acquittals. If we’ve been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? . . . We’ve got to have convictions.’”

- Morris Davis to William J. Haynes II (Former General Counsel for Department of Defense) on Guantanamo trials of detainees during the War on Terror.

The current War on Terror inaugurated in 2001 by Bush II ushered in an era when the US government made torture its official policy as I wrote here. It also started a broad fusillade against every basic liberty of every human living within the borders of the American tax jurisdiction. While ostensibly a full scale assault on “terrorists”, it has provided an object lesson in how one becomes what one hunts.

I will state my desire up front: I don’t want the police to be reformed, watched, video-recorded, monitored, disarmed, watch-dogged, controlled, quality checked, investigated, punished, prosecuted or anything else. I simply want them gone. I want their current employment to cease and desist. From the FLEAs (Federal Law Enforcement Agents) all the way to the local constabulary, all must be permanently furloughed and asked to find more productive work like mowing lawns, bagging groceries or playing video-games. It could be somewhat cathartic to have apology tours across the nation by every cop employed or retired through the communities they “served”. We could provide them with a by-name list of anyone they have harassed, fined, kidnapped, caged or maimed to map out their respective apology tours. Those murdered by departments could have their graves identified for the appropriate visit by the acknowledged killer (who most likely served nothing more than a paid administrative “leave”) in the thin “black and blue” line.

I have made a comprehensive case for the reduction and elimination of police forces already and will not make the case here.
All department buildings, vehicles, uniforms and the miscellany of appropriated goods can be sold at auction to include all asset forfeiture and seizure “property”. The proceeds would be disbursed to all the arrested and caged victims of consensual and non-violent crime enforcement.

A free society would not require the tattooing or branding of these former officers to readily identify them as a threat to polite society but a shunning campaign could be instituted for the more egregious bullies in their ranks.
Before the 20^th century, cops were few and far between in these united States, yet today most of the populace mewl in fear when one proposes the cops simply go away…forever.

What are they afraid of? The police have no duty to protect individuals from harm in society.

“The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled numerous times since 1856 that law enforcement officers have no duty to protect any individual, despite the motto “protect and serve”.
Their duty is to enforce the law in general. The first such case was in 1856 (South v. Maryland) and the most recent in 2005 (Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales).^[69]”

Their charter is clear and always has been: they enforce the laws of our rulers no matter how unjust, silly, murderous or just plain stupid.

They constantly and insipidly insist that they are simply doing their jobs, much like the Nazi defendants at Nuremberg. Their behavior is much more like an occupation force than a community peace officer operation. From the Drug War to the Raw Food raids, they are the enablers of all the bad laws people constantly and incessantly bellyache about yet the government-media complex has done an extraordinary job of hanging bunting and patriotic gore on the image of the armed tax-eater as a hero and pillar of the community; such a worthy protector that his safety will always trump that of a mundane citizen.

If the object of policing is creating a safe and stable community for people to work and play in, then that is certainly not the effect. Cops are historians when it comes to real crimes, especially those perpetrated against individuals, for they respond to crimes in progress or well after the fact and rarely seem to resolve violent situations without leaving a trail of blood and tears behind them.

I would love to find the documented evidence of how many innocents are run down or petty criminals shot by cops annually. As a matter of fact, when the bagpipes are playing at a funeral for a cop, there is a greater than fifty percent chance they died in a traffic accident and the numbers are minuscule per capita (56 died by gunfire in 2010 and no percentage identified of how many were the result of fratricide): nearly one million sworn “officers” and on average approximately 125 die every year in the line of duty. Nearly three times that number perish annually by their own hand. There are 17,000 police departments in these united States and zero reliable data available on the number of people maimed and killed by the police but simply from the news and anecdotal reports, the numbers are certainly higher than cop fatalities.

I am going to make a banal but obvious correlation between police forces and terrorism. They are one and the same. I have a natural Rothbardian revulsion toward any initiated violence and find that in the lion’s share of police confrontations in America, the police inevitably draw first blood and participate, under color of law and authority, in the most sadistic andvicious behavior humans can outside of the CIA “Black Sites” although the behavior inside police stations may rival that. Caleb Carr has stated in his brilliant tome, The Lessons of Terror, that terrorism is simply “politically motivated violence against non-combatants and innocents”.

What political component? By their own admission, police officers are law enforcers and the political process is how laws are divined; so, cops are by their very nature the Praetorian Guard for the ruling class at all levels. How many times has one heard the tired old saw by police that they are simply “upholding the law”? One can dither about the employment of the term unlawful but in America that has as much definitional weight as unconstitutional. If you suppose this is making too fine a point then why would America turn its back so abruptly on the Hague and Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture to quite literally bureaucratize and institutionalize torture and cruelty in the global military campaign to eradicate a tactic e.g., terrorism? Can one adduce that the American police culture increasingly mimics the military in dress and behavior? Can you think of a more natural seedbed for cruelty and torture than the video evidence that piles up day after day of police abuse of the citizenry? These are not isolated incidents. The modern police demand instant obedience or they will beat, electrocute or shoot you for the mere act of resistance or defiance. Let that sink in: the government sanctions the initiated savaging of innocent civilians (presumption of innocence) who don’t grovel and scrape and obsequiously comply with the orders of the armed agents of big government. America, indeed.

Let’s use the government’s own definitions to make the case for a healthy petard hoisting. One finds that the straightforward and simple US National Counterterrorism Center definition dovetails nicely with Carr.

The US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) described a terrorist act as: “…premeditated; perpetrated by a sub national or clandestine agent; politically motivated, potentially including religious, philosophical, or culturally symbolic motivations; violent; and perpetrated against a noncombatant target.” ^[57]

Other agencies propose the following variations:
United States Code (U.S.C.)

Title 22, Chapter 38 of the United States Code (regarding the Department of State) contains a definition of terrorism in its requirement that annual country reports on terrorism be submitted by the Secretary of State to Congress every year. It reads:
“Definitions … the term ‘terrorism’ means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents;”^[53]

US Code of Federal Regulations

The US Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as “…the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

US national security strategy

In September 2002 the US national security strategy defined terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence against innocents”.^[55] This definition did not exclude actions by the United States government and it was qualified some months later with “premeditated, politically motivated violence against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents”.^[56]

United States Department of Defense

The United States Department of Defense recently changed its definition of terrorism. Per Joint Pub 3-07.2, Antiterrorism, (24 November 2010) the Department of Defense defines it as “the unlawful use of violence or threat of violence to instill fear and coerce governments or societies. Terrorism is often motivated by religious, political, or other ideological beliefs and committed in the pursuit of goals that are usually political.”

The new definition distinguishes between motivations for terrorism (religion, ideology, etc.) and goals of terrorism (“usually political”). This is in contrast to the previous definition which stated that the goals could be religious in nature. The sly use of the term lawful and unlawful allows the DoD to give soldiers a “get out of jail free” card for what appears to be terroristic behavior; a standard that has been suborned into the corpus of the American constabulary.

USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act defines terrorism activities as “activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.”

Quite simply, no War on Terror is complete without a total dismantling and salting of the earth of all government sponsored police organizations and their concomitant support apparatus. One could make a robust case that our various “police actions” around the world and especially in the Middle East prompted the attack on America in the first place. One can make an even more convincing case that none of our freedoms would be extinct or disappearing absent the presence of police.

The War on Terror truly begins at home. The terror mindset emulates the TSA’s mantra of “Dominate. Intimidate. Control” which saturates police training across the fruited plain and is the sine qua non of cop behavior in the most benign encounters. This nicely complements the illogical and cowardly“officer safety” mantra that literally gives them a license to initiate violence and get away with it. Until Americans finally realize that police are not their friends but their masters, no freedom is possible. They are not there to protect the citizenry; they are the armed bulwark for big and small government, the tip of the spear thrust into every notion of decency, liberty and freedom. Most likely, few of the crimes policed are malum in se such as crimes against property or person and most are crimes the government created out of whole cloth such as drug use, DUI, prostitution and the myriad federal regulations that ensnare unwitting citizens.

Essentially, crimes with no victims except the unfortunates fined and caged by the police.

We have all seen and read the horrific accounts of the police savagingand mauling of women and children. This is not only what they are capable of, this is what they do. Every day.

The police are just as legitimate as the rulers and masters who walk their leashes. The odd political tensions between alleged Left and Right differences mean that, quite literally, you agree to the rightness and moral superiority of every law. Good luck with that.

The next time you watch one of the legions of police brutality videos on the internet, ask yourself: who really hates you for your freedoms (what few are left)?

- On June 8, 1978, Solzhenitzyn, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature in 1970 for his book “The Gulag Archipelago,” was addressing an audience at Harvard University: ”

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .”

A Progressive View on Gun Rights: 2A All the Way

Practical Populism

I am a progressive populist. As a progressive, I value, work toward, and believe in an ever-expanding recognition of equality for all peoples. I have no tolerance for intolerance. Owning personal firearms levels the playing field somewhat for those most vulnerable to abuse: women, the elderly, the poor, and the handicapped. I’m a populist because I feel no allegiance to or from elites. Instead, I fear the vast expansion of governmental power over the past decade, at the expense of the Rule of Law, and at the expense of basic human rights — particularly the 800-year-old Magna Carta provision for habeas corpus. 2A advocacy is an egalitarian issue.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

“To disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them…” George Mason, author of the 1776 Virginia Bill of Rights

“The great object is that every (adult) be armed . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun.” Patrick Henry, in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the U.S. Constitution

“Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.” Janet Reno, former US Attorney General, 1993

“Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.” Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of New York, 1994

“Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe.” Dianne Feinstein, US Senator, 1993 (who carries)

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty.” Adolf Hitler

“One man with a gun can control 100 without one…. Make mass searches and hold executions for found arms.” Vladimir I. Lenin

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants…” Thomas Jefferson in Commonplace Book 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment by criminologist Cesare Beccaria

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed — unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” James Madison, The Federalist, No. 46 at 243-244

“An armed society is a polite society.” Robert Heinlein

Gun rights are neither liberal nor conservative, feminist nor patriarchal, Democrat nor Republican, Left nor Right. Gun rights are populist at their core, in defense against government tyranny at their widest application, and in self-defense at their most personal application.
The debate over gun rights is vast and well-documented. The basic arguments for an armed citizenry are:

To maintain political order and prevent tyranny;
To protect community from outside invasion;
Personal defense and crime prevention; and
Sport and hunting.

The basic arguments against an armed populace ignore history or adopt a Pollyanna view toward government. Plenty of folks, on the Right and on the Left, and those in-between, recognize the value of preventive armament. We recognize that bipartisan-passed legislation over the past nine years strips US citizens of their sovereignty and destroys the Bill of Rights. (All this legislation, because it’s unconstitutional, is void, according to the US Supreme Court*.)

Some history – Jews and Other Genocides

In 1981, Morton Grove, Illinois became the first U.S. city to ban the possession of firearms. Next came Evanston, Illinois, which passed a similar ordinance without controversy. But when the measure was proposed in nearby Skokie, it was soundly defeated. Skokie, populated by Holocaust survivors, knew the merits of personal armament and the dangers of its lack. (Alderman and Kennedy)

Some researchers took this argument on a survey of seven nations that committed genocide in the 20th century, determining that in each instance, citizens were legislatively disarmed prior to their mass extermination by their government. In Lethal Laws: Gun Control Is the Key to Genocide, the authors demonstrated that these nations that perpetrated genocide had chosen a victim population which was disarmed. If the intended victims were not already gun-free, then the murderous governments first got rid of the guns before they began the killing.

Dave Kopel reviewed Lethal Laws (New York Law School Journal of International and Comparative Law, 1995, Vol. 15, pages 355-398), noting:

“[D]isarmament upsets the proper relationship between the master (the people) and the servant (the government) by making the people accustomed to dependence on the government. Machiavelli observed that:
‘[A]mong other ills which ensue from being disarmed is contempt . . . . There can be no proper relation between one who is armed and one who is not; nor is it reasonable to expect that one who is armed will voluntarily obey one who is not, or that the latter will feel secure among servants who are armed.’

“To the generation that drafted the Second Amendment, possessing arms to deter a government (or a mob which might be inspired by the government) that might contemplate mass murder was an uncontroversial moral imperative. The fact that the same message in the 20th-century book Lethal Lawsmay be considered so radical as to be not even worth discussing is perhaps one reason why genocide has become the great pandemic of the twentieth century.”

Feminists for Firearms

Feminists debate gun rights as hotly as any other group. Inge Anna Larish published “Why Annie Can’t Get Her Gun: A Feminist Perspective on the Second Amendment” in the University of Illinois Law Review (467, 1996). She points out that the most vulnerable members of society are most harmed by disarmament:

“Control rhetoric generally ignores the evidence that crime against the physically weaker members of society (women, children, the elderly, or the disabled) increases where guns are less available….

“The exclusion of women’s concerns in the gun control debate ignores that women are most in need of guns for self-defense. All else being held equal, women are physically weaker than men and will continue to be victimized by men whether or not men have guns.

Moreover, unlike men, women use guns primarily for defensive purposes – most often as a last resort…. guns not only equalize the differences between men, but also eliminate the disparity in physical power between the sexes….
“Analysts repeatedly find that guns are the surest and safest method of protection for those who are most vulnerable to ‘vicious male predators.’”

Licensing and carry laws discriminate against women and the poor because “need” is most often based on economic or social status, “while denying permits to working-class individuals who must operate in crime-ridden areas as part of their daily job.” Need is most often based on property protection over physical protection. Larish points out:

“Major metropolitan and urban areas which have the greatest proportion of violent crime against women, as well as the greatest likelihood of woman-headed households, also have the most restrictive gun control measures….”

An important note on disinformation: ‘assault’ weapons is a misnomer. Semi-automatic firearms are not automatic assault weapons, as shown in this video report by San Jose police officer, Leroy Pyle:

As the banksters steal more homes and impoverish more citizens, as the multinational food-control corporations increase hunger, as computerized voting renders elections meaningless, as wealth continues to be concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer families, civil unrest is likely to grow. Annie, get your gun. Self-defense is inherently a natural human right.

*U.S. Supreme Court:

The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and any statue, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows:

The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it.

An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.”

Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principals follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it..

A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one.

An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law.

Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby.

No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.

Monsanto Nation: Taking Down Goliath

What is the slingshot that will bring the mighty Goliath down? What is Monsanto’s Achilles heel; the two things it does not possess that will allow us to fight back in the war against GMOs?
Our readers ask, how do we take down Monsanto? This rousing call by Ronnie Cummins outlays in military strategic style how to march forward, and from what terrain, to make those biotechnocrats retreat!
We cannot coexist with the likes of Monstrosity – it’s time for a plan.
~Health Freedoms

“If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” – Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994

After two decades of biotech bullying and force-feeding unlabeled and hazardous genetically engineered (GE) foods to animals and humans, it’s time to move beyond defensive measures and go on the offensive. With organic farming, climate stability, and public health under the gun of the gene engineers and their partners in crime, it’s time to do more than complain. With over 1/3 of U.S. cropland already contaminated with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), with mounting scientific evidence that GMOs cause cancer, birth defects, and serious food allergies and with new biotech mutants like alfalfa, lawn grass, ethanol-ready corn, 2,4 D-resistant crops, and genetically engineered trees and animals in the pipeline, time is running out.

Living in Monsanto Nation there can be no such thing as “coexistence.” It is impossible to coexist with a reckless industry that endangers public health, bribes public officials, corrupts scientists, manipulates the media, destroys biodiversity, kills the soil, pollutes the environment, tortures and poisons animals, destabilizes the climate, and economically enslaves the world’s 1.5 billion seed-saving small farmers. It’s time to take down the Biotech Behemoth, before the living web of biodiversity is terminated.

But, to bring down Goliath and build an organic future, we need to be strategic, as well as bold. We must take the time to carefully analyze our strengths and weaknesses and critique our previous efforts. Then we must prepare to concentrate our forces where our adversary is weak, like a chess master, moving the field of battle from Monsanto’s currently impregnable territory into more favorable terrain.

Given the near-dictatorial control of Monsanto, the Farm Bureau, and the Grocery Manufacturers Association over the Congress, the White House, regulatory agencies, and state legislators, we have no choice in the present moment but to revert to “asymmetrical” guerrilla tactics, to seek out the Achilles heel or fundamental weakness of the biotech industry.

Consumers’ Right to Know: Monsanto’s Achilles Heel

The Achilles heel of Monsanto and the biotech industry is consumers’ right to know. If GE-tainted foods are labeled in supermarkets and natural food stores, a massive rejection of chemical and GMO foods will take place, transforming the marketplace and supercharging the organic and local foods revolution. The biotech industry has been aware of their tremendous vulnerability in the United States ever since Monsanto forced their controversial recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone on the market in February 1994. In the wake of nationwide “Frankenfood” protests and milk dumps, industry made sure that no federal labeling or safety testing would be required. As the biotechnocrats understand full well, mandatory GE food labels will cripple the industry: consumers will not buy gene-altered foods, farmers will not plant them, restaurants and food processors will avoid them, and grocery stores will not sell them. How can we be certain about this? By looking at the experience of the European Union, the largest agricultural market in the world. In the EU, there are almost no genetically engineered crops under cultivation or GE consumer food products on supermarket shelves. And why is this? Not because GE crops are automatically banned in Europe. But rather because under EU law, all foods containing genetically engineered ingredients must be labeled.

European consumers have the freedom to choose or not to choose GE foods; while farmers, food processors, and retailers have (at least legally) the right to lace foods with GMOs, as long as these gene-altered are safety-tested and labeled. Of course the EU food industry understands that consumers, for the most part, do not want to consume GE foods. European farmers and food companies, even junk food purveyors like McDonald’s and Wal-Mart, understand quite well the concept expressed by the Monsanto executive quoted above: “If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.”

The biotech and food industry are acutely conscious of the fact that North American consumers, like their European counterparts, are wary and suspicious of GMO foods. Even without a PhD, consumers understand you don’t want your food safety or environmental sustainability decisions to be made by out-of-control chemical companies like Monsanto, Dow, or DuPont – the same people who brought you toxic pesticides and industrial chemicals, Agent Orange, carcinogenic food additives, PCBs, and now global warming. Industry leaders are definitely aware of the fact that every poll over the last 20 years has shown that 85-95% of American consumers want mandatory labels on genetically engineered foods. Why do consumers want labels? So that we can avoid buying these mutant foods, gene-spliced with viruses, bacteria, antibiotic-resistant marker genes and foreign DNA. Gene-altered foods have absolutely no benefits for consumers or the environment, only hazards. This is why Monsanto and their friends in the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations have prevented consumer GMO truth-in-labeling laws from ever getting a public discussion, much less coming to a vote, in Congress.

Although Congressman Dennis Kucinich (Democrat, Ohio) perennially introduces a bill in Congress calling for mandatory labeling and safety testing for GE foods, don’t hold your breath for Congress to take a stand for truth-in-labeling. Especially since the 2010 Supreme Court decision in the so-called “Citizens United” case gave big corporations, millionaires, and billionaires the right to spend unlimited amounts of money (and remain anonymous, as they do so) to buy media coverage and elections, our chances of passing federal GMO labeling laws against the wishes of Monsanto and Food Inc. are all but non-existent.

Perfectly dramatizing the “Revolving Door” between Monsanto and the Federal Government, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, formerly chief counsel for Monsanto, delivered one of the decisive votes in the Citizens United case, in effect giving Monsanto and other biotech bullies the right to buy the votes it needs in the U.S. Congress.

With biotech and industrial agriculture’s big money controlling Congress, the White House, and the corporate mass media, we have little choice but to shift our focus and our campaigning to more favorable terrain: the state level and the marketplace.
Besides boycotting non-organic foods likely containing GMOs (even those marketed as “natural”) and demanding that natural food stores adopt truth-in-labeling practices, we’ve got to push for mandatory GE food labeling laws in the legislatures of those few remaining states like Vermont where Monsanto and corporate agribusiness do not yet have total control. Of the 18 states where GE food labeling legislation has been introduced over the past two years, only in Vermont does our side seem to have the votes to push labeling through, as well as a Governor who will not cave in to Monsanto.

State Ballot Initiatives: Monsanto and Biotech’s Greatest Weakness
Although passing a mandatory GE foods labeling law in Vermont is a distinct possibility, and something we should all support, the most promising strategy for restoring consumers’ right to know lies in utilizing one of the most important remaining tools of direct citizen democracy, state ballot initiatives. A state ballot initiative is a means by which a petition signed by a certain minimum number of registered voters can bring about a public vote on a proposed statute or constitutional amendment, in this case a law requiring mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. Ballot initiatives are also called, depending on the state, “popular initiatives,” “voter initiatives,” “citizen initiatives” or just “initiatives.”

Twenty-four states, mainly west of the Mississippi, allow ballot initiatives. Each state has its own requirements for how many signatures are required, how many days can be spent collecting the signatures, and when petitions must be turned in. States also vary on the average amount of money spent by initiative committees to support or oppose ballot measures.

The essential advantage of state ballot initiatives is that they enable the grassroots (in our case the 85-95% of consumers who want labels on GE-tainted foods) to bypass corrupt politicians, industry lobbyists, and special interest legislative practices. In addition, the very strategic point to keep in mind is that it will not be necessary to pass GMO labeling ballot initiatives in all 24 of these states. In fact, passage in just one large state, for example, California, where there is tremendous opposition to GE foods as well as a multi-billion dollar organic food industry, will likely have the same impact as a national labeling law.

If Vermont passes a state labeling law though its legislature in 2011, or California voters put a GMO labeling initiative on the ballot in 2012 and pass it, the biotech and food industry will face an intractable dilemma. Will they dare put labels on their branded food products in just one or two states, admitting these products contain genetically engineered ingredients, while still withholding label information in the other states? The answer is very likely no. Withholding important and controversial information in some states, while providing it to consumers in other states, would be a public relations disaster.

A clear precedent for this situation was established in California in 1986 when voters passed, over the strenuous opposition of industry, a ballot initiative called Proposition 65, which required consumer products with potential cancer-causing ingredient to bear warning labels. Rather than label their products sold in California as likely carcinogenic, most companies reformulated their product ingredients so as to avoid warning labels altogether, and they did this on a national scale, not just in California.

This same scenario will likely unfold if California voters pass a ballot initiative in 2012 requiring labels on food containing genetically engineered ingredients. Can you imagine Kellogg’s selling Corn Flakes breakfast cereal in California with a label that admits it contains genetically engineered corn? Or labeling their corn flakes as GE in California, but not divulging this same fact to consumers in the other 49 states or Canada? Of course not. How about Kraft Boca Burgers admitting that their soybean ingredients are genetically modified? How about the entire non-organic food industry (including many so-called “natural” brands) admitting that 75% of their products are GE-tainted? Once food manufacturers and supermarkets are forced to come clean and label genetically engineered products, they will likely remove all GE ingredients, to avoid the “skull and crossbones” effect, just like the food industry in the EU has done. In the wake of this development American farmers will convert millions of acres of GE crops to non-GMO or organic varieties.

The biotechnocrats and their allies have indeed used their vast resources to buy off Congress, the White House, and most state legislatures with campaign contributions. Monsanto, DuPont, and other corporate giants have used their enormous clout to send their lawyers and scientists through the revolving door into jobs as government regulators. Biotech’s financial power has polluted state and federal governments, along with trade associations, universities, research institutions, philanthropic organizations, and media outlets.

But there are two things Monsanto’s money can’t buy: Our trust, and our votes.
Polls Show Consumers Overwhelmingly Support GE Food Labels
Poll after poll has shown that most consumers want to know whether their food includes engineered ingredients.

The results of a recent MSNBC poll that posed the question, “Do you believe genetically modified foods should be labeled?” indicate that nearly all Americans believe that foods made with genetically modified organisms should indeed be labeled.

Of the more than 45,000 people who participated in the poll, over 96% answered “Yes. It’s an ethical issue – consumers should be informed so they can make a choice.”

It’s not news that most Americans support labeling of GMO foods. Since genetically modified foods were first introduced in mid-1990s, scores of public opinion polls have shown that the vast majority of consumers want mandatory labeling of all genetically modified foods. These include recent polls by CBS News/New York Times, NPR/Thomson Reuters and the Consumers Union.

Unfortunately, Congress and the White House have ignored these polls, accepting instead the claims of lobbyists and indentured scientists that genetically engineered foods are perfectly safe, and that uninformed and scientifically illiterate Americans must not be given the choice to buy or not to buy GMOs, because they will reject them.

Monsanto spent more than $1 million on the 2010 election cycle, splitting its contributions evenly between state and federal candidates. It spends much more on lobbying – more than $8 million in each of the last three years. Monsanto’s money has bought it influence and allowed it to move its lawyers and scientists through the revolving door into roles within the regulatory agencies. The USDA, FDA and State Department are full of appointees with connections to Monsanto. Monsanto’s efforts have successfully stifled attempts in Congress and state legislatures to pass GMO labeling legislation.

The Slingshot that Can Bring Down Goliath

The most important advantage or weapon in a ballot initiative (or in a grassroots legislative lobbying campaign) is to have the overwhelming support of the people, especially registered voters. As poll after poll has shown, 85-95% of Americans support mandatory GE food labels. No matter how much money Monsanto and their allies spend to defeat a ballot initiative, it is very difficult to turn back overwhelming public sentiment. Monsanto has become one of the most hated corporations on earth.

The second requirement for a successful ballot initiative is to have the active support of a massive grassroots movement, like the growing anti-GE food movement and OCA’s Millions Against Monsanto campaign. This grassroots movement can gather petition signatures, mobilize public opinion, and get out the vote. No matter how much money Monsanto and their allies spend, it will be very difficult to defeat a volunteer grassroots army of organic consumers who enjoy the massive support of the public.

The third prerequisite for victory is to have the ability to raise significant sums of money. Not only do we have millions of organic consumers in the U.S. who are passionately opposed to GMOs, and willing to donate to a labeling campaign, but we also have a rapidly growing $30 billion organic food industry that depends upon keeping GMO contamination out of the organic sector. We probably won’t be able to raise enough money to outspend Monsanto, the Farm Bureau, and the Grocery Manufacturers Association, but we can raise enough money to defend our popular position and maintain majority support.

Just like everything in U.S. politics, ballot initiatives have a price tag.
According to the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center:

“The chances of victory are directly correlated with the amount of money raised and are almost always proportional to the amount of money the opposition spends.”
“People power is equally important to factor in. Particularly for Citizen-based ballot initiative efforts, it is imperative to have people on the ground across the state that are connected and invested in the initiative.”

Biotechnology or BioDemocracy?

Restoring consumers’ right to know and driving genetically engineered foods off supermarket shelves are not going to solve all of the life and death issues that are currently staring us in the face: the climate crisis, endless wars, economic depression, corporate control over government, and the health crisis. But cutting Monsanto and the biotechnocrats down to size and restoring consumer choice are a good first step to move us toward sustainability and a healthy food and farming system. Just as important, in political terms, by defeating the Biotech Bullies and indentured politicians, we can begin to restore the tattered self-confidence of the American body politic. A resounding victory by the organic community and OCA’s Millions Against Monsanto campaign will prove to ourselves and the currently demoralized public that we can indeed take back control over the institutions and public policies that determine our daily lives. Now is the time to move forward.

Peaceful Anarchy: Imagine a Society without the State

2011-08-01T08:56:00.000-07:00

Transcend Media Service

by Gary D. Barnett - LewRockwell

“I am an anarchist. I suppose you came here, the most of you, to see what a real, live anarchist looked like. I suppose some of you expected to see me with a bomb in one hand and a flaming torch in the other, but are disappointed in seeing neither. If such has been your ideas regarding an anarchist, you deserved to be disappointed. Anarchists are peaceable, law-abiding people. What do anarchists mean when they speak of anarchy? Webster gives the term two definitions – chaos and the state of being without political rule. We cling to the latter definition. Our enemies hold that we believe only in the former.” ~ Lucy Parsons

“If we look at the record of mass murder, exploitation, and tyranny levied on society by governments over the ages, we need not be loath to abandon the Leviathan State and … try freedom.” ~ Murray N. Rothbard

Anarchy in its purest form is based on peaceful behavior and voluntarism in a stateless society, while government is based on aggression, theft, force, and deceit. These two systems are completely opposite. The only moral social system worth having has to adhere to the ideas of non-aggression, private property, free and voluntary exchange, and self-responsibility. This ideology is based entirely on the individual as sovereign. A political order where the individual is not sovereign, such as what we have now in this country, is the type of system that eventually leads to tyranny and serfdom. We are already far along in that process.

In my opinion, peaceful anarchy as a near perfect social system must go unchallenged, because anarchy is based on the truism that the individual is sovereign. Philosophically, anarchy is the only workable system if freedom is the desired goal. All other political systems are based on a top-down structure, with those in charge holding power over all others. This type of structure, which is our current political system, is simply one of force, and force is the antithesis of liberty.

While to me this seems to be not only simple but also logical, to most others this thinking is blasphemous. The mere mention of anarchy causes grave reactions from those from the “elite” class to the common laborer. No one it seems understands the simple concept of anarchy, and certainly can’t grasp the concept of anarchy as a viable social system. This says a lot about the “success” of the government indoctrination prisons called “public” schools. Obviously, the worship and acceptance of the State is now the primary driver in the American thought process.

This is unfortunate.

Those who believe that anarchy is chaos without justice fail to understand that anarchists simply want to be left alone. The fact that they want to be left alone should naturally convey that they also don’t want to infringe upon the liberty of others. Self-rule means that one’s life is directed from within instead of being controlled from without. This concept should not be foreign to any man who desires to enjoy a free life. But it is this simple notion that escapes so many.

Obviously, simple humans are a mixture of good and bad, so believing that a stateless society will remedy all ills is silly. The idea of anarchy assumes that most will not aggress against others, and that voluntary cooperation will be a primary factor for success. This of course seems impossible given our circumstances today, but any critical thought should help to relieve the fears of most.

If we all were self-reliant and self sufficient, if no forced welfare existed, if taxation was abolished, if positive law was not a part of society, would the manner of men change? If no standing armies were allowed, would wars cease? If the only act of force tolerated were for self-defense, would crime lessen? If none could benefit at the expense of another, would cooperation replace extortion? If no man ruled another, would there be incentive for peaceful and voluntary behavior? In my view, the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes! Would this kind of society be perfect … Of course not, because people are not perfect. No societal system can be perfect. But a system without the state would at least offer us the best chance for a long and peaceful existence, and one without the chains of governmental tyranny.

Our society has long been force-fed the propaganda that we cannot survive and prosper without the State. Our training in such matters begins at a very early age and continues throughout our lives. The transformation from a somewhat free society to our current one of servitude has taken a long time, but it has happened nonetheless. Now, most in this country are knowingly or unknowingly dependent on the government in one fashion or another, but many more thrive exclusively on government largess, and due to government protectionist practices. Did this happen accidentally or did it happen by design? I think the latter is the obvious answer to this question.

Given that the masses of people in this country believe so strongly in “their” government, what has that government done to deserve this confidence? What has the state brought us? What has been accomplished due to our political system these past two hundred plus years?

Standing armies
Continuous war and mass murder
Massive progressive taxation
State-sponsored welfare
Eminent Domain
Central banking and the Federal Reserve
Destruction of our money
The “War on Drugs”
The largest prison system in the world with the highest incarceration rate
Government schooling
FDA
EPA
TSA
NSA
CIA
FBI
USA PATRIOT Act
Military Commissions Act
Killer Drones
Guantanamo Bay
Torture
Rendition
Police brutality
Imperialism
Wiretapping and spying
Illegal searches
Bailouts
Monopoly
Recessions
Depressions

I could of course go on and on as this is a partial list, but I think the picture is clear. If this is what the State produces, how could a stateless society be worse? As I see things, it could not! Just imagine how different life would be if all the horrible things mentioned above were removed from our society. Imagine peace? Imagine a country of non-aggressive individuals working strictly through voluntary efforts? Imagine that all your property, including your own body, is yours and yours alone to do with as you see fit? Just imagine?

Murray N. Rothbard was one of the staunchest defenders of a stateless society, and presented here a great argument for anarchism as a social system. Once those skeptical souls who hunger for authority instead of freedom are shown the way to clear those imaginary anarchy hurdles, progress has a chance to flourish. This is no easy task, but if enough are shown the way, could it happen? Could it be successful? I think that it could, but major obstacles would first have to be removed.

The obstacles I speak of are those that allow one to prosper at the expense of another. If all government forced welfare were eliminated, all would then be forced to take care of themselves and their own. This alone would make a huge difference in the minds of the masses. Immediately, self-reliance and self-responsibility would become necessary for life to continue. When the majority of society is self-responsible, liberty is the natural result, and becomes the driving force of that society.

Accepting the idea of sovereignty of the individual brings much responsibility, but that responsibility leads to a freer society. A freer society leads to a society based upon voluntary cooperation. Voluntary cooperation is the basis for free markets. Voluntary cooperation and free markets leads directly to prosperity.

It is time to break the chains of government and try freedom. It is time to throw off rule by the few for rule by self. Government has failed and failed miserably every time it has been tried. Why then continue along this path of failure? Why continue to allow rule over of the many by the few?
A stateless society has not the power to destroy the individual. I say abolish the State!

The Essential Rules Of Tyranny

2011-07-30T08:17:00.000-07:00

Alt. Market.com
By Brandon Smith

As we look back on the horrors of the dictatorships and autocracies of the past, one particular question consistently arises; how was it possible for the common men of these eras to NOT notice what was happening around them? How could they have stood as statues unaware or uncaring as their cultures were overrun by fascism, communism, collectivism, and elitism? Of course, we have the advantage of hindsight, and are able to research and examine the misdeeds of the past at our leisure. Unfortunately, such hindsight does not necessarily shield us from the long cast shadow of tyranny in our own day. For that, the increasingly uncommon gift of foresight is required…

At bottom, the success of despotic governments and Big Brother societies hinges upon a certain number of political, financial, and cultural developments. The first of which is an unwillingness in the general populace to secure and defend their own freedoms, making them completely reliant on corrupt establishment leadership. For totalitarianism to take hold, the masses must not only neglect the plight of their country, and the plight of others, but also be completely uninformed of the inherent indirect threats to their personal safety. They must abandon all responsibility for their destinies, and lose all respect for their own humanity. They must, indeed, become domesticated and mindless herd animals without regard for anything except their fleeting momentary desires for entertainment and short term survival. For a lumbering bloodthirsty behemoth to actually sneak up on you, you have to be pretty damnably oblivious.

The prevalence of apathy and ignorance sets the stage for the slow and highly deliberate process of centralization. Once dishonest governments accomplish an atmosphere of inaction and condition a sense of frailty within the citizenry, the sky is truly the limit. However, a murderous power-monger’s day is never quite done. In my recent article ‘The Essential Rules of Liberty’ we explored the fundamentally unassailable actions and mental preparations required to ensure the continuance of a free society. In this article, let’s examine the frequently wielded tools of tyrants in their invariably insane quests for total control…

Rule #1: Keep Them Afraid

People who are easily frightened are easily dominated. This is not just a law of political will, but a law of nature. Many wrongly assume that a tyrant’s power comes purely from the application of force. In fact, despotic regimes that rely solely on extreme violence are often very unsuccessful, and easily overthrown. Brute strength is calculable. It can be analyzed, and thus, eventually confronted and defeated. Thriving tyrants instead utilize not just harm, but the imminent THREAT of harm. They instill apprehension in the public; a fear of the unknown, or a fear of the possible consequences for standing against the state. They let our imaginations run wild until we see death around every corner, whether it’s actually there or not. When the masses are so blinded by the fear of reprisal that they forget their fear of slavery, and take no action whatsoever to undo it, then they have been sufficiently culled.

In other cases, our fear is evoked and directed towards engineered enemies. Another race, another religion, another political ideology, a “hidden” and ominous villain created out of thin air. Autocrats assert that we “need them” in order to remain safe and secure from these illusory monsters bent on our destruction. As always, this development is followed by the claim that all steps taken, even those that dissolve our freedoms, are “for the greater good”. Frightened people tend to shirk their sense of independence and run towards the comfort of the collective, even if that collective is built on immoral and unconscionable foundations. Once a society takes on a hive-mind mentality almost any evil can be rationalized, and any injustice against the individual is simply overlooked for the sake of the group.

Rule #2: Keep Them Isolated

In the past, elitist governments would often legislate and enforce severe penalties for public gatherings, because defusing the ability of the citizenry to organize or to communicate was paramount to control. In our technological era, such isolation is still used, but in far more advanced forms. The bread and circus lifestyle of the average westerner alone is enough to distract us from connecting with each other in any meaningful fashion, but people still sometimes find ways to seek out organized forms of activism.

Through co-option, modern day tyrant’s can direct and manipulate opposition movements. By creating and administrating groups which oppose each other, elites can then micromanage all aspects of a nation on the verge of revolution. These “false paradigms” give us the illusion of proactive organization, and the false hope of changing the system, while at the same time preventing us from seeking understanding in one another. All our energies are then muted and dispersed into meaningless battles over “left and right”, or “Democrat versus Republican”, for example. Only movements that cast aside such empty labels and concern themselves with the ultimate truth of their country, regardless of what that truth might reveal, are able to enact real solutions to the disasters wrought by tyranny.

In more advanced forms of despotism, even fake organizations are disbanded. Curfews are enforced. Normal communications are diminished or monitored. Compulsory paperwork is required. Checkpoints are instituted. Free speech is punished. Existing groups are influenced to distrust each other or to disintegrate entirely out of dread of being discovered. All of these measures are taken by tyrants primarily to prevent ANY citizens from gathering and finding mutual support. People who work together and organize of their own volition are unpredictable, and therefore, a potential risk to the state.

Rule #3: Keep Them Desperate

You’ll find in nearly every instance of cultural descent into autocracy, the offending government gained favor after the onset of economic collapse. Make the necessities of root survival an uncertainty, and people without knowledge of self sustainability and without solid core principles will gladly hand over their freedom, even for mere scraps from the tables of the same men who unleashed famine upon them. Financial calamities are not dangerous because of the poverty they leave in their wake; they are dangerous because of the doors to malevolence that they leave open.

Destitution leads not just to hunger, but also to crime (private and government). Crime leads to anger, hatred, and fear. Fear leads to desperation. Desperation leads to the acceptance of anything resembling a solution, even despotism.

Autocracies pretend to cut through the dilemmas of economic dysfunction (usually while demanding liberties be relinquished), however, behind the scenes they actually seek to maintain a proscribed level of indigence and deprivation. The constant peril of homelessness and starvation keeps the masses thoroughly distracted from such things as protest or dissent, while simultaneously chaining them to the idea that their only chance is to cling to the very government out to end them.

Rule #4: Send Out The Jackboots

This is the main symptom often associated with totalitarianism. So much so that our preconceived notions of what a fascist government looks like prevent us from seeing other forms of tyranny right under our noses. Some Americans believe that if the jackbooted thugs are not knocking on every door, then we MUST still live in a free country. Obviously, this is a rather naïve position. Admittedly, though, goon squads and secret police do eventually become prominent in every failed nation, usually while the public is mesmerized by visions of war, depression, hyperinflation, terrorism, etc.

When law enforcement officials are no longer servants of the people, but agents of a government concerned only with its own supremacy, serious crises emerge. Checks and balances are removed. The guidelines that once reigned in police disappear, and suddenly, a philosophy of superiority emerges; an arrogant exclusivity that breeds separation between law enforcement and the rest of the public. Finally, police no longer see themselves as protectors of citizens, but prison guards out to keep us subdued and docile.

As tyranny grows, this behavior is encouraged. Good men are filtered out of the system, and small (minded and hearted) men are promoted.

At its pinnacle, a police state will hide the identities of most of its agents and officers, behind masks or behind red tape, because their crimes in the name of the state become so numerous and so sadistic that personal vengeance on the part of their victims will become a daily concern.

Rule #5: Blame Everything On The Truth Seekers

Tyrants are generally men who have squelched their own consciences. They have no reservations in using any means at their disposal to wipe out opposition. But, in the early stages of their ascent to power, they must give the populace a reason for their ruthlessness, or risk being exposed, and instigating even more dissent. The propaganda machine thus goes into overdrive, and any person or group that dares to question the authority or the validity of the state is demonized in the minds of the masses.

All disasters, all violent crimes, all the ills of the world, are hoisted upon the shoulders of activist groups and political rivals. They are falsely associated with fringe elements already disliked by society (racists, terrorists, etc). A bogus consensus is created through puppet media in an attempt to make the public believe that “everyone else” must have the same exact views, and those who express contrary positions must be “crazy”, or “extremist”. Events are even engineered by the corrupt system and pinned on those demanding transparency and liberty. The goal is to drive anti-totalitarian organizations into self censorship. That is to say, instead of silencing them directly, the state causes activists to silence themselves.

Tyrannical power structures cannot function without scapegoats. There must always be an elusive boogie man under the bed of every citizen, otherwise, those citizens may turn their attention, and their anger, towards the real culprit behind their troubles. By scapegoating stewards of the truth, such governments are able to kill two birds with one stone.

Rule #6: Encourage Citizen Spies

Ultimately, the life of a totalitarian government is not prolonged by the government itself, but by the very people it subjugates. Citizen spies are the glue of any police state, and our propensity for sticking our noses into other peoples business is highly valued by Big Brother bureaucracies around the globe.

There are a number of reasons why people participate in this repulsive activity. Some are addicted to the feeling of being a part of the collective, and “service” to this collective, sadly, is the only way they are able to give their pathetic lives meaning. Some are vindictive, cold, and soulless, and actually get enjoyment from ruining others. And still, like elites, some long for power, even petty power, and are willing to do anything to fulfill their vile need to dictate the destinies of perfect strangers.

Citizen spying is almost always branded as a civic duty; an act of heroism and bravery. Citizen spies are offered accolades and awards, and showered with praise from the upper echelons of their communities. People who lean towards citizen spying are often outwardly and inwardly unimpressive; physically and mentally inept. For the average moral and emotional weakling with persistent feelings of inadequacy, the allure of finally being given fifteen minutes of fame and a hero’s status (even if that status is based on a lie) is simply too much to resist. They begin to see “extremists” and “terrorists” everywhere. Soon, people afraid of open ears everywhere start to watch what they say at the supermarket, in their own backyards, or even to family members. Free speech is effectively neutralized.

Rule #7: Make Them Accept The Unacceptable

In the end, it is not enough for a government fueled by the putrid sludge of iniquity to lord over us. At some point, it must also influence us to forsake our most valued principles. Tyrannies are less concerned with dominating how we live, so much as dominating how we think. If they can mold our very morality, they can exist unopposed indefinitely. Of course, the elements of conscience are inborn, and not subject to environmental duress as long as a man is self aware. However, conscience can be manipulated if a person has no sense of identity, and has never put in the effort to explore his own strengths and failings. There are many people like this in America today.

Lies become “necessary” in protecting the safety of the state. War becomes a tool for “peace”. Torture becomes an ugly but “useful” method for gleaning important information. Police brutality is sold as a “natural reaction” to increased crime. Rendition becomes normal, but only for those labeled as “terrorists”. Assassination is justified as a means for “saving lives”. Genocide is done discretely, but most everyone knows it is taking place. They simply don’t discuss it.

All tyrannical systems depend on the apathy and moral relativism of the inhabitants within their borders. Without the cooperation of the public, these systems cannot function. The real question is, how many of the above steps will be taken before we finally refuse to conform? At what point will each man and woman decide to break free from the dark path blazed before us and take measures to ensure their independence? Who will have the courage to develop their own communities, their own alternative economies, their own organizations for mutual defense outside of establishment constructs, and who will break under the pressure to bow like cowards? How many will hold the line, and how many will flee?

For every American, for every human being across the planet who chooses to stand immovable in the face of the very worst in mankind, we come that much closer to breathing life once again into the very best in us all.

Holding onto your Sanity in a Time of Universal Insanity

2011-07-29T08:09:00.000-07:00

Sovereign Independent
By Neil Foster

If the truth is stranger than fiction then the real world will drive you insane.

Normally most people will face no more than 2 or 3 problems at a time at any given moment in their lives. These may be multi-faceted and complicated or simply everyday issues which some people will worry about more than others but generally will work out or most likely muddle their way through.

The more serious problems relating to health, financial difficulties or break-up of the family obviously take more out of people than a brief period of relationship or financial insecurities or a brief spell of recoverable ill health.
These 3 issues would fall into the category of ‘Health, Wealth & Happiness’ I suppose and much of our other problems would most likely stem from these 3 issues.

However, in today’s world we are fed a diet of so called ‘news’ whose sole purpose is to spread fear and anxiety throughout society to keep us all in check and under control of our (un)respective governments.

They couldn’t care less how many problems they inflict on us on a daily basis as this maintains the control infrastructure of the establishment which is handed on to each new government as it is formed. The system never changes; hence nothing ever really changes for the better.

We may be given brief periods of believing that things are improving when the establishment has use for us, such as the building up of infrastructure etc. Such infrastructure is of course only built up, usually if not always, by the taxpayer, who is then robbed of this asset to the country as it is sold off to private concerns all prearranged before a foundation or steel girder was formed.

This occurs in times of economic decline the type of which has never been so dire as the period of ‘austerity we now face across the so called ‘developed’ or ‘civilised’ world under the guise of ‘bailing out’ the banks to the extent where we’re now told we as a society now own them, yet the law allows these same banks to repossess our homes!
This is by design.

It is designed to outrage you and put you in a permanent state of anxiety as things worsen economically and the fear seeps in under the skin that you could be next on the unemployment scrapheap with the threat of homelessness never far away either.

At the same time we’re terrified by stories of ‘terrorists’ everywhere, well only in the case of Muslims. If you’re white and Norwegian, you’re only an ‘extremist’ regardless of the terror inflicted.

We’re told we must go kill those bad ‘terrorist’ over there so I wonder if we’ll be sent off to Norway to kill those ‘extremists’ over there? Somehow I doubt it.
These wars are of course very lucrative to the chosen few and the international bankers. This is the way it’s always been so we shouldn’t be surprised when the next ground war kicks off in Libya and spreads to Syria and ultimately, the gem of Iran.

We will be left here in desperate poverty whilst billions if not trillions are spent on murder and mutilation of innocent men, women and children takes place in our name under the farce of the ‘War on Terror’. Well, not in my name!
We’re given new plagues on a regular basis which seem to appear from nowhere until you barely scratch the surface, if you care to that is, to find that they usually appear from military facilities and cannot happen in nature through any mutational process.

The threat of global warming with catastrophic consequences for humanity is constantly propagandised in the mainstream media despite overwhelming evidence of the biggest pseudo-scientific fraud ever perpetrated on man is exposed time and again whilst our parasitical and psychopathic politicians fleece us and impoverish the country even further building useless wind-farms which not only don’t work but also ravish the countryside.

This is of course being used as the excuse for the fear-mongering around the ‘too many people’ lie and ‘not enough food’ when the West has been paying farmers to grow NOTHING for nearly 50 years. The eco-fascist community is also responsible for throwing farmers off their own land under the delusion that they are preserving the planet for future generations without understanding that it won’t be for their generations as they’ll be wiped out with the rest of us.

The list goes on but all these factors cannot be looked at and feared in isolation. They are all part of the same big plan for the future under Agenda 21.
So how do we manage to remain sane as our society and our personal lives seem to be disintegrating around us?

We can’t do it on our own. Yes we do all have our personal problems and demons to deal with but to allow the issues above to interfere with those is only adding to the anxiety.

We can all do something about our personal problems as individuals but the issues laid out above require that we all get together to take action to stop these atrocities being carried out across the world; not only at the expense of our health, wealth and happiness, but of our very ability to maintain our sanity in the face of such overwhelming adversity and abuse being forced upon by criminals who purport to be the protectors of our nations; the nations which they’ve conspired to hand over to international banking families intent on the destruction of humanity.

It’s about we started taking responsibility for our own futures, or own wellbeing and our own minds because it is abundantly clear that those in control have no will or capacity to do so and are in fact doing their utmost to destroy our societies and with it the very fabric of the human race.

IT’S GOT TO BE STOPPED!

SMART METERS: A triple threat

2011-07-26T09:07:00.000-07:00

The PPJ Gazette

Marti Oakley

“Along with the known health hazards, the unwarranted and unlawful surveillance and inflated energy rates after installation of a SMART METER, is the threat of compromised national security. “

______________________________________________

As a nationwide revolt is growing against the invasive and costly electric Smart Meters, public utilities and corporations, intent on putting the entire nation under surveillance unlawfully, not to mention creating a massive health threat, are moving quickly to install phase 2 of the SMART GRID: Gas Smart Meters. It won’t stop there; they are planning on rolling out SMART water meters as quickly as possible.

On March 31, 2011 in Capitola California, it was reported that PG & E spokesman Jeff Smith said a total of 17 of the wireless devices were installed on residences and businesses where existing meters had been damaged by floods. Fifteen of the meters were for gas and two were for electric.

The City Council placed a moratorium on Smart Meter installations in February, though the California Public Utilities Commission has sole authority over PG&E.”
The CPUC has no authority to override a city council inititiative and to move ahead with a private corporate contract between CPUC and PG&E that the public is unaware of, has not seen and did not enter into.

The California Public Utilities Commission may have sole authority over PG & E, but they do not have authority over private property and the owner’s rights to refuse the meters. The statement CPUC is using is misleading as it leads people to believe that because the CPUC has authority over PG&E, that that authority is somehow extended to private citizens.

“The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has authorized the state’s investor owned utilities (PG&E) to replace conventional customer meters with SmartMeters in order to give consumers greater control over their energy use,” Chow said. “Section 8 of Article 12 of the California Constitution states that ‘[a] city, county, or other public body may not regulate matters over which the Legislature grants regulatory power to the Commission.”

PG&E has had to admit there is no mandate to install these meters. Because the legislature has issued no mandates and the governor has not signed off on any mandates, the claim by PG&E and CPUC of Sect.8 Article 12 of the California Constitution does not apply. This section applies only if the legislature directs CPUC to engage the program. Once this happens, CPUC can then enact regulations but these cannot arbitrarily infringe on property and civil rights.

No one is disputing CPUC’s authority to contract with whomever it pleases. What is disputed is CPUC contracting with PG&E and then foisting the provisions of this private, unrevealed contract onto the public. Clearly the California legislature did not intend for private contracts struck by CPUC to be used arbitrarily against the citizens, nor was their intent to enable a system of spying and endangerment of public health.

CPUC has NO authority over private citizens and cannot arbitrarily subject them to a product or service they do not want and surely do not need. This is a clear violation of the Commerce clause of the Constitution; no one can be forced to buy a product they do not want or be forced to enter into an unrevealed contract with another entity most especially through coercion and extortion. The jurisdiction referred to is actually a privately struck corporate contract and can be enforced only within the contracting party’s.

In an effort to deflect the growing revolt over the meters as a result of the health hazards they represent and, because the claimed savings from having one of these hazardous meters installed is non-existent, PG&E has resorted to extortion, using coercion to pressure consumers into allowing them to install the meter. While many citizens objected to the meters at town hall meetings with PG&E, the spokesmen for PG&E claimed there was no “opt-out” provision, but had to admit that there was in fact, no mandate giving them authority to install the meters. As no mandate exists, there can be no “opt-in”, such as forced compliance either, but PG&E carefully never mentions that.

These Meters represent a direct threat to the over all health of communities and should never have been installed on the first home, much less 15 million+ homes.
From electricalpollution.com comes this statement:

This is of great concern because the exposure to microwave and radiowave radiation from these meters is involuntary and continuous. The transmitting meters may not even comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) “safety” standards (see http://sagereports.com/smart-meter-rf/). However, those standards were initially designed to protect an average male from tissue heating (cooking) during a brief exposure. These standards were not designed to protect a diverse population from the non-thermal effects of continuous exposure to microwave and radiowave radiation. Therefore, these “safety” standards were not designed to protect the public from health problems under the circumstances which the meters are being used.
___________________________________________

Having been faced with a rejection of their hazardous meters, PG&E in collusion with the energy provider, then decided to charge a $40 fee just to process the order of refusal from the consumer and followed that up with notice that they would be attaching as much as $12 a month as a surcharge (extortion fee) to penalize the consumer for refusing the meter. After all, a meter reader would have to be paid to walk by and scan your analog meter and they do not want to pay this expense….although they will write it off their taxes as an expense and re-title the revenue stream produced by this surcharge as an expense, also. Either way the utility gets an increase in revenue, which is part of the plan.
Smart Meters: A threat to national Security

Along with the known health hazards, the unwarranted and unlawful surveillance and inflated energy rates after installation of a SMART METER, is the threat of compromised national security. SMART GRID, the system intended to be linked together from Canada to Mexico and used to control power availability and usage has a back door “shut-off” switch. This switch makes the system vulnerable to hacking which could shut down not only localities and states, but also all government. The “shut-off” switch was installed to allow the federal or even state governments to arbitrarily shut down single homes or businesses, or entire cities or states.

From the Federal perspective, entire states or regions of the US could be denied access to power as a means of coercing citizens into complying with Federal mandates and encroachment. This switch would be invaluable in case of civil unrest …(its actual intended use)….in cutting phones, lights, heat, air conditioning and overall power access in the event of some paranoid fantasy being expressed in the homeland security agency, the military, or even in the White House. The switch has no other intended purpose other than disabling an area in order to cut communications and necessary power in order to disable a civil revolt. (I wonder why they are so worried about that?)

As the second and third phase of this control grid is put into place, water, electricity and gas will be delivered only as long as we are able to pay the inflated rates based on market activity and only so long as we cooperate with federal encroachment.
The noose tightens.

The problem with SMART GRID is its vulnerability to hacking which could directly affect all systems in the Federal government. But, as with most things the government does, the stated reason for doing anything bears little resemblance to what they actually intend. SMART GRID, SMART METERS, are intended to control every aspect of your daily life and to gather and report as much personal information from your residence or business as possible, all of it collected and stored in constantly growing files compiled by various domestic spy agencies. SMART GRID is not about energy efficiency and conservation. It is a system of spying and population control that can result in the immediate disruption of all utilities for any reason.

Don’t worry. If they ever shut the GRID or any portion of it down they will fabricate some wild story about how a terrorist living on the back of a three humped camel blew up the kill switch because he hated us for our electricity. And a fair number of you will believe it.

Their System is Breaking

2011-07-22T15:33:00.000-07:00

Posted by David S. D'Amato on Jul 22, 2011

C4SS
“The euro and stock markets fell,” reports BBC News, “and borrowing costs of indebted countries rose, as worries over debt crises in the eurozone and US mounted.” Ahead of a meeting of European leaders set to begin in Thursday (July 21), gold spiked to record highs and financial stocks plummeted.

As trust in the state wanes, interest rates on government debt bonds have risen starkly, accompanied by growing worries that governments around the world — including the U.S. — will begin to default on their debt obligations. All the while politicians insist that, in the words of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, government must act “forcefully” to prevent further crisis.

Whether or not any particular state is currently in default on its debt, the economic system of statism, built on theft and exploitation, is at all times unstable and on the verge of collapse. By rendering inefficient business models and pursuits profitable where they otherwise would not be, the state promotes the accumulation of wealth in losing commercial activities.

The state’s arbitrary rules and regulations, barriers to market entry erected under the pretext of “consumer protection,” create an environment wherein multinational corporate giants suck up all of the oxygen. Where — in a market freed from the constraints of the ruling class — societal wealth and investments would flow into cost-effective and socially beneficial enterprises, today the outlets for all economic resources are systematically determined by the interests of elites.

To brace its crony capitalism against the constant pressure of economic reality, the state must spend ever more, both allaying the strains of widespread poverty and unemployment and — more significantly — subsidizing the operating costs of huge, powerful companies. “Too big to fail” became the familiar refrain in the incipiency of the present economic downturn, and it is indeed true that in the current, statist economy, many of the most important pivot points of the system are the most thoroughly intertwined with the state.

Consider, for example, what would happen to the U.S. economy if the gigantic war-mobilization sector were to suddenly disappear. Though we unmindfully label murder industry contractors “the private sector,” virtually all of its jobs and revenues are the result of astronomical levels of government spending. Further, its diseconomies and wastes are passed onto the American taxpayer, that seemingly endless reserve on which the ruling class can draw to nourish its sickly pyramid scheme.

Eventually, though, the underlying, ever-present infirmities of the system surface in the kinds of ruinous tragedies we’ve witnessed through the past few years, the kinds that never seem to touch the fat cats who actually benefit from all of the government intervention we’re taught to esteem. Within an economic paradigm in which the state has predetermined the pathways for both natural and human resources, it should come as no surprise that wealth gathers in those favored individuals, companies and industries chosen by legislators and bureaucrats.

The fluidity and variability of genuine free markets necessarily preclude the kinds of economic misjudgments and abuses that lead to speculative bubbles and surging government debt. Where commercial activities must take place within the rigid framework created by the state, however, crisis is unavoidable.

As anarchist theorist and historian Shawn P. Wilbur noted not long ago, “I think it’s pretty important to face the possibility that maybe what we have now is so big that it can’t do anything but fail.” And although it contradicts the conventional wisdom, “forceful” action by the state is what created these disasters in the first place, thwarting the kind of competition that could have undercut the criminal monopolies at the center of the financial plotline.

The state is and always has been in the service of a small elite. Genuine free markets, the voluntary exchanges we would all make absent coercion, are by definition the instrument of “the people” at large. It’s time we finally stop trusting monumental decisions about the world economy to a handful of corrupt politicians. It’s time we see what free people will do when left to make those decisions one at a time, on a human scale without aggressive interference.

A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace

We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.

By John Perry Barlow, co-founder, Electronic Frontier Foundation

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.

We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.

Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.

You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.

You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don’t exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.

Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.

We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.

We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.

Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are based on matter, There is no matter here.

Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions.

The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.

In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must now be born anew in us.

You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves.

In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.

In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.

Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron.

In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish.

These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.

We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

Conspiracy's Longer Timeline

The Daily Bell
Thursday, July 14, 2011 – by Staff Report

9/11 And The Rise of The World Wolf State ... It is an amazing fact of history that what passes for history in the West is factually untrue. The people get public mythologies and government lies instead of the facts, so what they know is not real. Currently, the State is the principal actor and recorder of history. And what it records is not the truth, but what is politically convenient for the corrupt oligarchs and various special interests who have captured the State's myth-making powers. If we don't know the real history of financial crises, terrorist attacks, and wars then we can't claim to live in free societies. Today, the power to create and write history is in the dominion of the State. And the history it is writing is based on lies, deception, and propaganda. Since the end of World War II a slow and gradual political revolution has occurred in America, England, France, Canada, Australia, and other Western nations against the liberal democratic state. In its place has risen what William Ralph Inge called the "Wolf State" in his 1948 book, "The End of an Age." - The Excavator

Dominant Social Theme: The state is the answer to our problems and the cradle of our dreams of freedom.

Free-Market Analysis: This is an interesting article, once again, by the Excavator, a university student who runs a blog devoted to exposing the "truth" of the new world order. He has apparently discovered a book written by William Ralph Inge, a professor of divinity at Cambridge and Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, way back in the 1940s. Inge coined a name for the Nazi state – the "Wolf State."
According to Inge (in the Excavator's words), the Wolf State was the bedrock of Nazi Germany, but it "did not begin with Hitler and will unfortunately survive it ... The Wolf State outlasted the madness of Hitler and Nazism to be worshipped anew by another set of madmen elsewhere in the world. In post-WWII America, new devils arose under the cover of the CIA and the National Security State as part of an American Wolf State ...

"They exploited the American people's fear and ignorance in the Cold War climate for the political and financial gain of a powerful few. America's wolves were hungry and lethal. They worked up a big appetite in the 1950s after taking down a number of democratically elected governments, but that was not enough. The Big Get was America."

The Wolf State began in earnest in America, with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy which "turned the page on the short-lived American experiment in self-government." Kennedy had "wounded the ambitious and cunning wolf pack by firing CIA director Allen Dulles and refusing to commit American blood and treasure to a hopeless war in Vietnam." Thus a reason to murder him.

Inge was not a prophetic genius, we learn. "He was just able to see the writing on the wall by the end of World War II that political systems in the West were in a deep state of crisis. Although Nazism was defeated, the philosophy that gave birth to Nazism did not disappear from history." Here's some more from the article:
In the chapter, 'The Philosophy of the Wolf State,' Inge said that the institutions of a free society and a government are at war with an external enemy are naturally at odds with each other, writing: The question may be raised whether the repudiation of parliamentary government and of all the ideas which collectively constituted what Fisher calls the Liberal experiment is necessarily connected with aggressive imperialism and blatant immoralism ...

The answer seems to be that the theory of the State which we have to examine demands that a nation shall be permanently on a war footing, and that this type of State is almost incompatible with liberty and decent behaviour. We are discovering with regret that in order to combat Fascism we are obliged to a large extent to fascise ourselves. Power politics and liberty can hardly exist together.

In the beginning of the 21st century the eyes of the Western Wolf State turned inward. There was a hint of this dark reality during the Cold War period when secret intelligence agencies and covert military groups carried out terrorist attacks in European cities as part of Operation Gladio which were falsely blamed on leftist groups. But those activities were mild compared to the treason and state terror that occurred on September 11, 2001 and July 7, 2005.

The Wolf State had grown up and come alive on September 11. New imperialist wars were planned, and a whole new world government structure was being put in place behind the scenes. 9/11 was the cataclysmic event that made the people go along with new wars, state surveillance, and the militarization of society. II. The World Wolf State It is worth repeating again and again that America underwent a radical political revolution in the 20th century that was orchestrated from the very top, and which was instigated by foreign financial interests.

This revolution came into being "in the dark and as a result of moral corruption and political treachery at the highest levels of society and government in America." Additionally, the trigger was actually the establishment of the private Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 – which provided the conspiracy with a bloodsucking appendage even as mainstream media provides the anesthesia.

Since 1913, the article explains, the world has not been the same. America, once a bright and shining light on the hill, was turned into an "an evil empire and a country of unspeakable evil, capable of sacrificing its own people for the god of war, as it did on September 11, 2001."

Sadly, millions of men died in World War II to rid the West of fascism, and yet the forces of fascism that hijacked the West's secret intelligence agencies, have reimposed fascism, this time on the victors of World War II. "America and the West are now dying from the same disease that inflicted Germany in the 1930s and other countries in history: Blind State Worship."

This is a courageous, eloquent retelling using a notable source. But from the standpoint of directed history it does not, yet, go far enough. The modern one-world conspiracy, according to alternative reality-based historians may have gotten its start in the 1700s with the establishment of the Illuminati; its first notable victory may have been in France, during the French Revolution with public agents like Maximilien Robespierre.

The great banking families of Europe and their enablers were apparently behind the French Revolution. This was their answer to the laissez-faire movement in America. In fact, one could argue that the American Revolution, or at least the US Constitution that came out of it, were already influenced by Black Aristocracy of Europe. The Constitution for all its greatness is merely a generalized road map and actually reserves to the State fairly broad based powers. This was one reason a faction of the Founding Fathers insisted on writing a Bill of Rights to clarify the Constitution's intentions.

The French Revolution turned the American Revolution on its head. While thanks in part to the eloquence of Thomas Jefferson, the American Revolution was positioned as anti-state (certainly anti-British), the French Revolution looked TO the state for remedies. It was believed during the French inspired "Age of Reason" that humanity could build a better future via the application of science to state-craft.

This genocidal certainty actually found its echo in America's technocracy movement in the 1920s. It has manifested itself in the 21st century within the context of Peak Oil and Smart Meters. America was always a primary target for one-world elites because it was clearly evident that America was going to emerge as a primary world power.

The US was a profoundly agragrian, free-market culture – and the elites did the best they could to undermine it. They worked through their apparent agent Alexander Hamilton to influence the Constitution. Later on they backed Abraham Lincoln – or so it seems – through the great New York banks and seemingly helped plan and implement the American Civil War.

It was the Civil War, actually that was the turning point for American liberties. Once states could no longer secede, the whole paraphernalia of authoritarian rule could be brought to bear on the US. The 50-years after the Civil War saw a reshaping of America. It changed America from an agrarian, free-market society into a corrupt, urban one. It is no coincidence that America political corruption began in earnest after the Civil War.

The elites infiltrated such apparent European banking agents as JP Morgan into American finance. It is more than likely, according to conspiracy historians, that the panic of 1907 was caused or exacerbated by JP Morgan in order to set up an American-style central bank. This duly happened in 1913 along with the imposition of an income tax.

The "Excavator" is certainly correct that the establishment of an American central bank was a turning point in freedom-history. The Civil War ended the American republic. It could be said that the establishment of the Federal Reserve began America's history as Empire.

The advent of the Internet in the 20th and 21st centuries has provided the world, and especially America (where its impact is most felt), with a kind of Internet Reformation similar to the Protestant Reformation coming after the creation of the Gutenberg Press. It took the Gutenberg Press 100 years to have a major impact; the Internet has had a similar impact in 20 years.

The great fear-based promotions that the power elite has used to control society, the dominant social themes of scarcity used to create the receptacles of global governance, these are tumbling down now, or at least beginning to erode. Alternative media chat rooms and increasingly mainstream venues, are full of vituperation about the new world order. Sometimes it seems that it is all people talk about. The worse it gets, the more people speak out.

Unfortunately, the Internet has steadily revealed the creation of an abysmal, growing domestic tyranny in the US. "Net observers should see the Internet, like Karma, works both ways. Even as civil rights are undone, so the elite's mechanisms of manipulation are exposed. There is a reason that George Bush, Sr. once stated that the American people would be most unhappy to learn what the top political and financial elites had done in the 20th century. The revelations of directed history reveal an astonishing, absolute brutality.

These people (for it was not we or you) were content to drop atom bombs on the people of Japan, killing, inevitably, millions of women and children. The message was not only meant for Japan; it was a broadside aimed at the rest of the world, in particular Stalin. Messages had been sent before (the telegraph sent a famous message, too, on inception) but this one was constructed of a genocide.

It is certainly conceivable that Anglosphere elites were behind ALL the major wars of the 20th century and that the results of these conflicts were intended to be the infrastructure of global government via the UN, etc. But in the late 20th century and early 21st century it seems the elites have increasingly taken (once more) to attacking America itself.

We do not know the details of what happened on 9/11, but like many if not most Americans, we are suspicious and believe the government has lied. Even a majority of the 9/11 Commission now claim they were serially lied to by the powers that be. The events should be reinvestigated seeing that there are so many questions and contradictions surrounding it. What has come out of it has only been evil: torture, rendition and the phony war on terror.

But even leaving aside 9/11, what is astonishing is that so many violent, "newsworthy" acts that took place in America in the past two decades directly or indirectly implicate the American government. There was the horrible attack at Waco, and the events of Ruby Ridge. These were not merely singular, unconnected events.

The Columbine shootings, for instance, reveal clearly there were more individuals involved than the two dead teenagers. Some other school shootings raise the same suspicions. (Even the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan has come under question given that his attacker had to shoot THROUGH a car door to hit Reagan, thus giving rise to the assumption that Reagan was wounded via ricochet.) Americans have not stopped the violence committed abroad in their name abroad; thus, the beast has turned now and has sunk its claws and fangs into the domestic body politic.

The FBI, it came out recently, is refusing to provide a regional court with video tapes for the Oklahoma City bombing, claiming they have been, perhaps, misfiled and cannot in any event be found. They also confiscated all the available video tapes in the Washington DC area after the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. What is increasingly clear is that the FBI is acting as a gatekeeper for many of the most murderous – or at least controversial – events of the 20th and 21st centuries, obscuring their provenance at the very least. The FBI is evidently and obviously the government's "partner in crime" in this regard.

Today, US polity can be aptly described as laboring under a great weight of fear. It is the reason why so little gets done in Washington. It is not gridlock but terror that keeps legislators in line. This has been the case since J Edgar Hoover began collecting files on politicians in order to blackmail them; but the fear is far thicker now and thus more powerful. With its ability to wiretap almost at will, the FBI has a totalitarian weapon of intimidation and it is one that is useful in propping up the status quo of the military-industrial complex.

Conclusion: The history of the Modern Age is a powerful, authoritarian sweep. It began in its modern incarnation some 300 years ago – perhaps even longer. It is run by powerful banking families and their enablers and its goal is one world government. The concept of the Wolf State that the Truth Excavator exhumes is only a kind of excrescence of larger conspiracy rooted seemingly in ancient times. No political movement can really describe it; no state mechanism ignites it. It is, unfortunately, much deeper than that.

Nanotechnology: Tracking food from farm to fork…and you right along with it

The PPJ Gazette

______________________________________________

Noting “certain food-related ailments” this committee failed to ask the most obvious and relevant question:
If these ailments are a result of the food we are eating…..what is the underlying problem with the food? And why would finding a remedy for this increase in possibly deadly ailments include further contamination and adulteration of the food supply with nano-chips?
_______________________________________________

I had come across an article in the Dairy Reporter last year, about the coming plans to insert nano-technology into food. In the article from DR: Nanotechnology in food: What’s the big idea? By Caroline Scott-Thomas, 26-Jul-2010 this observation was made:

“At IFT’s nanoscience conference last week, major industry players discussed how to avoid a rerun of the GMO debacle with consumers – with some saying that one solution could be to say nothing about introducing nanotechnology in foods and to do it anyway.”

We all have enough experience with today’s bio-pirates who are openly colluding with the USDA, FDA and anyone else in government, like “Dirty Harry” Reid NV (D), who single-handedly and unanimously cast the one vote needed to pass the fake food safety bill, to know that food safety and longer shelf life is most likely not what this technology is actually intended to do. As it is, most products on the shelves of stores now are so chemically laden and contain so much gmo that I doubt spoilage is an option. After all….can chemicals, pesticides and herbicides actually rot?

Most of what sits in our stores is not really food as we have known it. It is a stew of sorts; chemicals, additives, flavorings, colorings, enhancers, preservatives, aspartame, neotame, and stuff we can’t even identify along with residual hormones, vaccines, antibiotics, herbicides and pesticides. It has been irradiated, sprayed with viruses and now covered in ammonia. Reading any label for content makes one think you would be just as well off if you drank floor cleaner and it most likely might be a lot tastier although just as empty of nutrition.

We also know, from experience, that no matter what kind of song and dance emanates from one of these foreign corporations (FAO/WHO) and Big Ag and the Bio-pirates that nothing is in the works that will not have an adverse application of some kind, which is most likely the true intent. Of course my immediate reaction is first and foremost: What are these foreign corporations doing setting “standards in technology” (profit and control) that are to be foisted on the US? But ….I digress…. that’s a story for another day.

The potential for abuse of this technology being used adversely is huge.
Big AG and the bio-pirates make no bones about their intent to track food from field to fork and at every step of the process in between which is why it is so imperative that they seize control of production and supply. It is really hard to control the food supply when you have not yet been able to lay claim to all of it no matter how cooperative “Dirty Harry” and his merry band of corporate hiney huggers were or are.

In this report: FAO/WHO Expert meeting on the application of nanotechnologies in the food and agriculture sectors: potential food safety implications:
The industry is, therefore, always seeking new technologies to offer products with improved tastes, flavours, textures, longer shelf-life, and better safety and traceability.

to address certain food-related ailments, such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, digestive disorders, certain types of cancer (e.g. bowel cancer) and food allergies

________

What the report fails to address or even mention is that every medical disorder listed has been greatly exacerbated and occurs at an accelerated rate due to the chronic contamination and adulteration of food supplies with chemical, pharmaceutical and foreign toxins. Noting “certain food-related ailments” this committee failed to ask the most obvious and relevant question:
If these ailments are a result of the food we are eating…..what is the underlying problem with the food? And why would finding a remedy for this increase in possibly deadly ailments include further contamination and adulteration of the food supply with nano-chips?

I doubt any reasonable person would conclude that the underlying problem was a lack of RFID nano-chips, or a lack of organic nano’s, in the food supply. Or that there was any personal value in having your medication monitored by a satellite in the sky, at least for the reasons it would be done . This is an invasion of privacy.

According to this report, this technology will be applied to animal feeds and water, right along with commercially available foods. This way, no matter what you eat, you will be ingesting numerous versions of nanochips of one kind or another. The committee does ponder the question as to whether an accumulation of nano’s could cause further health problems, possibly creating peripheral problems from accumulation. Also, the committee is concerned about the possibility of the chips to escape the GI track and leech out into other internal organs.

Nano-chips will be used to supposedly make food taste more like food by enhancing the flavor and texture. Here again the obvious is avoided. Natural food left uncontaminated by toxins, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and whatever else could be thrown in, tends to taste……like food. You don’t need enhancers, or nanoparticles to stimulate your taste buds to fool your brain into thinking you actually just ate something nutritious and tasty.

Nanochips inserted as RFID is the last nail in the coffin of food freedom. Having reduced the food supply and the available products to a substance that has to be enhanced or that has to be chemically pumped up to make you think it might really be food, is the problem. And, it is an intentionally created system meant to eventually accommodate the insertion of RFID nanochips to detect not only what you are eating, but to extend surveillance of the individual. Having reduced the commercial food supply to dangerously toxic concoctions, the report states, the intention and subsequent use of nanochips in food and pharmaceuticals will be used to monitor:

the application of nanotechnologies in all aspects of the primary production of foods of plant and animal origin;
the application of nanotechnologies in food processing, packaging and distribution;
the use of nanodiagnostic tools for detection and monitoring in food and agricultural production.
Nanotechnologies applied in the environment were also included if there was a potential direct impact on food safety through the environment to the food chain.
The Expert Meeting was asked not to cover occupational health matters surrounding the use and application of nanotechnologies in the food and agriculture sector

______________________
RFID Nano’s are so small that once ingested they can circulate undetected by the immune system. Kind of like an on-board gps for humans or anything else for that matter.

The red flags should be flying right about now. Here is the plan for field to fork, from fork to human monitoring and individual surveillance. While I would truly like to think that the intentions of this committee of experts was to protect the food supply from further and unnecessary contamination, it is apparent the focus was instead, planning the future use of nanotechnology to track and control food production and its consumption. While many may argue this will help with traceability, it is a subterfuge meant to divert from the crux of the issue.

While some of what this committee addressed was the current use of organic nano technology which is said to be water soluble and which allows for greater absorption of nutrients, currently used in vitamins and supplements to some degree, and in some readily available food products, it is obvious the intent is to eventually track and control through nano-enabled RFID surveillance, the production and supply of food. Organic nano technology and RFID nano technology are two divergent aspects that are intentionally discussed as though they are one and the same. They are not.

Whatever happened to just plain food?

You want liberty? This is what it takes…

2011-07-06T15:05:00.000-07:00

SHTF Plan
Brandon Smith
July 6th, 2011

Brandon Smith of Alt-Market has generously contributed this missive for your reading pleasure and educational enlightenment. Somewhere along the way, no doubt with the help of Big Brother, our definitions of freedom and liberty have been lost in translation. The following article is a must-read for adults and teens alike, as it outlines ten critical ‘rules’ for liberty that have been forgotten or looked down upon for too long. The end result, of course, is a citizenry that is quick to point the finger at the first sign of trouble and one that has become dependent on government to solve basic problems.

The Essential Rules Of Liberty

There is nothing worse in this world than an enslaved man who naively believes himself free, except, perhaps, trying to explain to that same man his predicament. You can lay truth after truth before his feet. You can qualify your every position with cold hard irrefutable data. You can plead and scream and raise veritable hell, but before he will ever listen, he must first become aware of his own dire circumstances. As long as he views himself as “safe and secure”, as long as he imagines his chains to be wings, he will see no reason to question the validity of the world around him, and he will certainly never invest himself into changing his own deluded destiny.

Unfortunately, there are many such men crawling and scraping about here in what was once a land graced with a self sufficient and independently minded public majority. The great lie that has been perpetuated in this country over the past several decades is that we can defer our responsibilities of vigilance and place our well being and our futures into the hands of others for the sake of “collective efficiency”, or leisure. We have been conditioned to live in a state of constant indifference, a society which prizes compromise over principle and steadfast resolve.Those who refuse to compromise that which is honorable for the sake of ease and comfort are indicted as “extremist” or even criminal. The idea of personal revolution is treated with discomfort, and all we claim to stand for becomes muddled in a fog of inaction and cynicism.As Americans, we have forgotten what it means to earn and protect our own freedoms. We have forgotten that in liberty, there are standards that must be defended.

This, however, does not mean we cannot yet again remember ourselves. The desire for freedom is as inborn and natural as our own heartbeat, as our own breath. It is instinct. It cannot be erased from within, only oppressed from without. The tide has always been against tyranny, always, though we may find that hard to believe. If liberty was not ingrained into our very DNA, humanity would have succumbed to bondage and self destructed long ago. This is not the case. Stretching under the surface of our superficial force-fed mainstream culture are the roots of something real, and honest. Simmering beneath our so called “civilized” veneer, many Americans are finally rediscovering their wild and defiant origins. In the recent past we have been taught to feel ashamed of our rebelliousness. Now, we are learning to hold it quite dear.

For those of us who are awake, and for those who are on the verge of understanding, certain rules come into play that strengthen our stance and shield us from folly. Liberty is not a self perpetuating social condition. It requires guidelines, and effort, and sacrifice. Liberty will not survive without our willingness to maintain it. If you are not ready and willing to fight for your own independence, then you are not truly free.

Let’s examine some of the inherent laws and guidelines of free will and free action that will allow us to not only win back our self determination, but to keep it for generations to come. You want liberty? This is what it takes…

Rule #1: Never Take Anything For Granted

A lot of people today seem to have serious issues with expectation and assumption; what we in the alternative media often refer to as “normalcy bias”. We have grown used to the idea of abundance and relative safety. So much so, that we fail to notice when our abundance and safety begin to disappear. We assume that the condition of the world today will be the condition of the world tomorrow, and for all time. In the U.S., we have even come to expect not only that our prosperity and our freedom are inevitable, but that they will also increase exponentially with each passing generation. This is a relatively new and narrow cultural mindset likely caused by the explosion in industrial growth after WWII which seemed to erase all memory of the Great Depression in our society, leaving us with the belief that surely, our circumstances would never become so desperate again.

Those who are truly independent realize that nations, no matter how affluent, can self destruct at a moment’s notice, especially when they fail to recognize their own weaknesses and confront their own demons. Never suppose that that which is good and just will remain without your own initiative. Never wait for others to fix those problems which you could just as easily solve yourself. Never expect that freedoms won cannot also be easily lost. Always prepare for the worst outcome, and strive for the best outcome.

Rule #2: Educate Yourself

Never become a useful idiot, or a waste of oxygen. Being a part of the herd is nothing to be proud of. Strive for knowledge, and thirst for the truth every moment of every day. Many of the things we deem “important” in modern society are in the grand scheme hollow attempts to fill our lives with distraction, only wasting time until we finally bite the dust filled with regret.Pretending to further the depth of one’s life is not the same as actually doing so. I can’t think of anything more horrifying than becoming a man who rushes around frantically every waking moment, but ultimately accomplishes nothing.

Do not assume that you already have a tangible grasp of the truth, especially if all your knowledge has been handed to you. Instead, research that knowledge for yourself. Put that which you have been taught to the test. Only in this way will you finally learn. Expand your horizons. Learn something useful. Remove unnecessary distractions for at least part of your day and focus on increasing your awareness of the environment you live in. There are very few things in this world more important than this, and self education should take precedence over everything else except your family. “Lack of time” is no excuse for ignorance. Make time! The ignorant are led. The knowledgeable lead themselves.

Rule #3: Don’t Be A Pansy

Liberty is not for the faint of heart. Emotional courage is paramount to freedom, and it can be expressed to incredible effect by even the most unlikely heroes. I’ve seen children with more courage and tenacity than some full grown men.

If one recognizes the gravity of the situation we face as a people, if one understands the considerable danger involved in the fall of a Republic to the depths of fear and autocracy, but still does nothing, that person has not only failed the world, he has also failed himself. “Making waves”, or drawing the ire of “authority”, is the least of our worries. If you have utilized an objective eye, and know you are right in your position, then there is no reason to fear criticism from anyone.

Sociopolitical action, nonconformity, noncompliance, and self defense, are unavoidable aspects of a society that wishes to maintain its freedoms. There is no way around it. If you are not willing to stick your neck out and expose yourself to risk, you remove all chance of possible gain. If you are a self proclaimed activist that refuses to sacrifice, that refuses to struggle, then you have failed before you even began. Talk must lead to balanced action. Never thumb your nose at the devil without being ready to trade punches as well, or all is lost.

Rule #4: Stop Waiting For Others To Tell You What To Do

Independent people not only consider and implement the solutions of others, they also work on their own. Complaints abound lately in the Liberty Movement;
“When is someone going to do something!? What are YOU going to do about our predicament!?”

This is the question of a slave, not a free man. A free man asks, “What am I going to do about this predicament? What is MY solution to the problem?” Therein is the key to liberty; decentralized leadership and movements based on fluidity and spontaneity of action, instead of a great mass of people standing around stiffly waiting for orders on high, or a self styled messiah to engineer their world view. As soon as you place your very initiative under the control of others, you have lost the fight. Always consider the solid strategies of intelligent people, and adopt them if they are useful, but do not remain idle because you are too frightened to exert the effort to solve problems bigger than yourself. Spectators only witness history, they do not make history.

Rule #5: Cast Off What Is Unnecessary, Keep What Is Effective

Yes, I stole this rule from Bruce Lee, but it is just as applicable to social movements and economic stability as it is to the martial arts. Invasive debt creation, for instance, is a tool for subversion, and no people forced to bear the burden of liabilities they can never repay is free.Therefore, exorbitant debt must be avoided, or cast off completely.

In our personal lives, how many useless goods do we accumulate on a daily basis, instead of useful items that we may one day desperately need? How much of our life is spent accumulating garbage in order to keep up with “socially acceptable” levels of consumer behavior? How many of us cling to careers we hate in order to service our needless consumption? The ability to prioritize must become a virtue once again, and, we all need to shut off the cable television…

This rule also applies to governments. If a government no longer fulfills its sworn duties to the people, and no longer serves the purposes to which it was originally intended, then it too must be cast off and replaced with one that does serve the people, or, it must be forced to return to its inherent foundations. Today, this kind of talk is often referred to as “extremism”, or insurgency, no matter how correct it might be, which brings us to our next rule…

Rule #6: Ignore Establishment Labels

Tactical name calling is only effective if we actually care what other people think of us. Labels like “homegrown terrorist”, “extremist”, “doomer”, or “conspiracy theorist”, are designed to shame people into self censorship. That is to say, they pigeonhole movements and their participants into categories of public shame, causing said movements to fear social reprisal.They are also meant to forcefully assign “outsider” or “fringe” status to particular political positions in order to marginalize and weaken the resolve of those who hold them. Never mind that almost every powerful and honorable cultural movement in history once started out as “fringe”.

Early in our lives, we are taught that it is far better to be accepted, and to avoid standing out, even at the expense of our individualism. Unfortunately, many adults never outgrow this childish belief, and thus become vulnerable to tactics as absurd as simple ridicule. At bottom, being slandered by a thieving bureaucracy infested with soulless parasites bent on centralization at the expense of innocent human life is a bit laughable (this goes for you too, SPLC). Globalists, along with their media cronies and their think-tank sock puppets, will say ANYTHING to get what they want. Empty words and false labels cannot stop the truth, or a movement driven by the truth.

Rule #7: Cynicism Is The Path To Defeat

It is good to be critical, but not to the point of nihilism. America’s past is riddled with mistakes, bad judgments, horrible crimes, and downright stupidity; that doesn’t mean that the principles on which this country was founded are any less vital. We hear often from cynics that humanity has become too stupid and complacent to do what is right. However, stupidity and complacency are not inherent qualities. That’s an elitist fantasy with no basis in fact. Stupidity and complacency are learned behaviors, and they can be unlearned. What IS inherent is our ability to choose what path we will take. For adherents of liberty, we need only remind people that they have this choice. We can whine and cry all day long about how nobody pays attention and how there is no hope, or, we can exhaust all options before throwing in the proverbial towel. We don’t need to “like” society the way it is, but we do need to recognize the underlying potential of all people to become something much more than what they currently are (I can’t stand blind ignorance either, but I’m certainly not ready to accept it as a fact of American life). Remember, no fight is over until it is over.

Rule #8: True Authority Is Derived From Respect That Is Earned, Not Bought, Or Taken

A corrupt politician is just a criminal conman in a nice suit. A law enforcement officer who refuses to follow Constitutional Law is just a petty little tyrant in a black uniform. An economist who knowingly skews data to fit his own political bias or to serve the political biases of men above him is just a liar or an inept buffoon with an embossed piece of paper from an expensive university. A lab scientist or doctor who flubs experimentation to support the interests of the corporate world rather than the needs of the public is just a quack in a white coat. All too often, though, we find ourselves taking these cretins seriously all because they talk the talk and wear the costume. They are just people, and if they cannot do their jobs honestly, then they are useless people, who deserve our disdain, not our respect. We should never allow such men to wield positions of authority over us.

Rule #9: Take It Personally

When someone tries to steal from you, hurt you, or enslave you, unless you are some kind of nut, you take it pretty personally, right? Why should it be any different when a government commits the same grievances? Americans should be furious over the destruction of their economy, their currency, their infrastructure, and their Constitutional freedoms! They should be enraged over the endless wars overseas that are bankrupting the nation. They should be bellowing to the rooftops over the cooption of their political system by a slimy brood of corporate bankers. Is this “extremist” behavior? Who cares!? If your anger is not visible then it is not worth a damn. Don’t just get active, get emotional! This is about your life, and the lives of those you love. That’s not to say that we should take out our frustrations randomly and haphazardly, but if we can’t at least make known our anger over the misdeeds of government, then what the hell is the point of calling ourselves free?

Rule #10: You Are The First And Last Line Of Defense

Like it our not, this is our job. We have inherited a country on the verge of disaster, and we are tasked with cleaning it up, otherwise, there will be little left to pass on. We do not get to bask in illusory prosperity for the rest of our days. We do not get to feed off the entitlement program trough until we are fat and contented. We are not going to retain our rights without blood, sweat, and tears. We will not be building magical floating cities in the clouds or skyscrapers on Mars.We will NOT be remembered fondly as members of some fantastical “golden era”.

We have been thrust into the muck and the mire. We are being molded as the lost children of an age better forgotten. We have been slapped in the face with a dilemma so volatile and so incredible it may one day be called the greatest crisis of all time. We have drawn the short straw.

This could be viewed as some terrible doom. It could be held as a star crossed act of ferocious fate. We could fall to our knees and lament with despair, overcome with woe at our unbearable lot. But, this would be in violation of rule #3, and nobody wants to be a sobbing pansy. On the contrary, every “bad luck generation” is only so if they refuse to see the great fortune at their fingertips; if they refuse to seize the moment and conquer the giants of their day. The greater the hardship, the greater the enemy, the greater the heroes. We are faced with possibly the most unrelenting antagonists and the most treacherous obstacles in recent memory, or even distant memory. In the same spark of confrontation, we are also presented with unparalleled opportunity to change the course of the world forever. Whether or not we succeed, is entirely up to us.

9/11 And The Length of a Meme

2011-07-01T08:11:00.000-07:00

The Daily Bell

Thursday, June 30, 2011 – by Staff Report

The freaky thing about the false flag attack on 9/11 is that a ready-made script to blame the attacks on radical Islamists was prepared and written years ahead of time. The false narrative of who did 9/11 and why they did it was so believable because media portrayals of Muslims as terrorists in films and other media created a very powerful effect on how people in the Western world saw the politics of the Middle East and the people who lived there. It was easy for the spin masters in the Bush administration, other elements of the U.S. government, and the Israeli government to implant a false version of reality into the public consciousness on September 11, 2001 because by that point the propaganda war against Muslims and Arabs had already been won. – The Excavator

Dominant Social Theme: Relax and let Dreamtime sweep over you. These are the best of times, and even when things go wrong we can make them right again.

Free-Market Analysis: This post (excerpted above) at The Excavator was also picked up by the Infowars media group. The Excavator is the project of an apparently young man called Saman Mohammadi, a "Truth Excavator" and the blog contains a number of lengthy articles exposing power elite manipulations.

This article is of interest to us because Mohammadi analyzes the expansion of dominant social theme – "Muslims are terrorists," though he doesn't use our terminology. Most interesting to us, he concludes by explaining that many do not believe the official narrative of 9/11:
Millions of individuals in America and millions more around the world have deleted the fictitious story of 9/11 from their mental software without the aid of the old media (newspapers, television, films, music), which is used as a cultural hardware system by a criminal transnational conspiracy to implant political and social beliefs into the public consciousness.

This is an amazing social and political awakening that may lead to fundamental changes in how the world is structured, how people are governed, and how societies make decisions. What began as a movement to find out the truth of what happened on 9/11 has grown in a short decade into a global consciousness movement that is determined to redefine politics and government forever.

This is a fascinating conclusion. Without using our vocabulary or frame of reference, Mohammadi sees what we see: That there is a larger human consciousness at work in these days that has made it increasingly difficult for the power elite to introduce and propagate their memes.

Our efforts have centered on explaining how and why the Anglosphere elites – a tiny cluster of impossibly wealthy families and their corporatist and religious facilitators – produce dominant social themes. They do it, we believe, to advance the cause of a world government, which will inevitably have as its cynosure the City of London and its affiliates in Israel, Washington DC and Europe.

The memes that the elites cultivate quite deliberately through such vast mind-control institutions as the Tavistock Institute and its affiliates are designed to frighten the Western middle classes into giving up power and wealth to a variety of globalist facilities specially prepared for that purpose. The same process is at work for the developing world.

In the 20th century, this globalist manipulation worked extraordinarily well. As we have tried to document, an entirely false narrative of Western history was created and presented to the larger Western public, one that was even subscribed to by the West's intelligentsia. When the intelligentsia is properly promoted, then the meme itself is almost bound to be successful. It will be propagated endlessly and credibly.

While the one-world conspiracy in its current format probably goes back at least 300 years, the past century was one that saw its penultimate realization. With seemingly total control over the media, the Anglosphere elites were able to create a narrative of stunning force and simplicity.

While there were numerous dominant social themes and sub themes, the most important theme of all was simply that some were better than others and the wisest and wealthiest of all were deserving of command, control and additional prosperity. The idea of a command-and-control economy (directed by a few on behalf of all) was propagated endlessly via the memes of central banking, the United Nations and other excrescences of central power.

In the early 21s century, however, something changed. The Internet came on the scene and began to unravel these promotions much as the Gutenberg Press some 600 years before had unraveled the power structures of its day. (This perception is of course judgmental; there is no quantitative measure that can be applied.)

Both the mechanism and its results seem increasingly evident to us. Mohammadi, without mentioning the mechanism, agrees. For us, there is something mysterious at work here. With some trepidation, we have described what is occurring as the influencing of a kind of hive mind.

It seems to us that human beings are extraordinarily connected via culture and exquisitely sensitive to changes in that culture. Mass communication means that everyone can understand something almost at the same time. And what is not understood almost instantly by all is soon communicated in other, informal venues.

There are obviously technological reasons for what is occurring; but the larger mechanism is instinctual and biological. The Gutenberg Press seems to have almost entirely leveled the elite power-justifications of the day. The unraveling of modern power elite memes in our view is perhaps something of an inevitability given the confluence of technology and biology.

Many in the alternative media, understanding the control exercised by power elites and its overwhelming Money Power are gloomily certain that a one-world order is preordained. Our argument remains that this strange "hive mind" is busily undermining the memes on which the elites rely. Money Power is strong, but the hive mind, perhaps, is stronger.

In fact, both these forces in human affairs (to mix metaphors) have the power of tectonic plates. They are inexorable and cannot be affected, at least in the short term. Just as Money Power has set its course in one direction, so the Internet Reformation has charted its path in another. Mohammadi sees this, too.

If his conclusion is noteworthy, the body of the article is interesting as well. It examines how the meme of "Islam as terror" was propagated. He writes that, "The rogue forces behind the 9/11 attacks, especially the neoconservatives, launched a coordinated and massive propaganda campaign before 9/11 against Arabs and Muslims in academia, media, and politics to make them look irrational, barbaric, and primitive. 9/11 was an act of self-prophecy by the neocons and the criminals in the rogue governments of the United States and Israel."

He then lists five steps summarizing how the "masters of reality implanted the fictitious narrative of the 9/11 events into the global popular consciousness."
First, "Hire intellectuals in academia and enlist think tanks to invent new enemies, hype the threat posed by foreign regimes to America, construct a fantasy-based belief system, and create an ideological paradigm that will serve the perverted interests and goals of the war establishment."

Second, "Hire journalists to pump the press with fabricated stories and lies to hype the dangerous new enemy until there is a blanket of disinformation and hysteria over the entire news media, national conversation, and popular culture. The people must be bathed in government lies to the point that anyone who wishes to dry himself with the towels of truth will be looked at as a paranoid conspiracy theorist."

Third, "Stage a big false flag attack like 9/11. Make it a public ritual and a highly symbolic event that changes the course of history in the direction you want. There is growing awareness of the fact popular beliefs about historical events and political figures are made. The controllers of the press in the United States and the Western world crafted a narrative about 9/11, international terrorism, and the war on terror that has no basis in fact, but which rationalizes dictatorial policies and criminal invasions of sovereign nations."

Fourth, "Get government agents and conspirators behind the 9/11 plot on television news stations immediately after the attacks to blame the enemies who were previously hyped in the press for the deed. Then repeat the official talking points in the press. Don't allow anyone to question the government's fictitious narrative about the event. Shout down critics as conspiracy theorists and unpatriotic nutcases."

Fifth, "Construct a big popular myth about how and why the 9/11 attacks happened and who was responsible. Cast Israel's enemies and the Empire's enemies (independent nations like Saddam's Iraq, Gaddafi's Libya, Iran, and North Korea) as 'evil' and "bad," and the U.S. empire/Israel as 'good.'"

These are good points, and we could come up with a few more. But the bottom line is the most important: 9/11 remains a "myth" as Mohammadi calls it, which makes little sense. Every part of the current story, from the phone calls made on the planes (which the FBI now claims did not occur) to the vast caves out of which Osama bin Laden operated (which have never been found) is questionable when examined with any sincere level of scrutiny.

Mohammadi tracks back the Islam-as-terrorist meme a long ways. He is especially clever about connecting it to big Hollywood blockbusters and TV. When one contemplates this mind-control what increasingly seems feasible is that the creation of Israel (and the subsequent radicalization of the Palestinians) provided fodder for the initial myth. Thus one could speculate (within the ambit of "directed history") that elite planning for a terrorist meme was linked to the introduction of Israel and may go back many decades.

This would not be an unusual speculation for a conspiratorial historian because there is a school of thought that holds important elite themes are planned decades and even centuries in advance. Bringing Israel to life was an arduous process that took well over 100 years. The Rothschilds in particular were involved from inception.

The reason for the length, of course, was that the powers-that-be cannot simply inject a meme into the body politic. it must be presented and positioned logically or interpolating it into the larger faux-historical narrative will prove difficult. This is an important point and one often overlooked by those who wish to analyze events through the lens of directed history.

One can make the argument that it is possible to gauge to some degree the level of stress elites are feeling by how cleverly (gradually) or aggressively memes are marketed. The more abrupt the introduction of a dominant social theme seems to be, the more urgency the power elite may be laboring under.

The 9/11 meme along with the war on terror seem to have been carefully developed. But neither official story is truthful. We have often suggested that there should be a new, impartial investigation. Mohammadi now informs us that this week Iran is hosting an International Conference on the Global Fight against Terrorism to get at the roots of the crisis.

Of course, Iran has its own reasons for delving into the issue, but the conference itself in our view is further evidence that when it comes to dominant social themes, the 21st century is nothing like the 20th. Unlike in the 20th century, the elites are having a great deal of difficulty controlling various kinds of thematic damages. The Internet Reformation is a continual process, not simply an episode that can be quickly counteracted.

Conclusion: We continue to believe, based on unfolding evidence, that our analysis is correct. The powers-that-be were caught off-guard by the Internet and the damage to their one-world promotions has likely already taken place. It is perhaps already too late to close the proverbial barn door.

Under Food Tyranny – E.Coli The New Terrorist Threat

2011-06-21T08:20:00.000-07:00

Health Freedom Alliance

Is the world’s e.coli scare the Osama Bin Laden of food?

Europe’s e.coli outbreak was traced to multiple produce, then organic bean sprouts, then not, then settled adamantly on those organic bean sprouts. This will not make sense to informed health freedom supporters, as e.coli stems from unsanitary conditions such as factory farms and CAFOs* where animal waste can run off into nearby fields. But the bean sprout story is what the public is buying.

Whether the threat is manufactured or not, whether this deadly, resistant strain is lab engineered or real – the question is, what does it mean now?

Henry Kissinger who said “…control food and you control the people” mentioned another method of control. “If [people] were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil.”
Like clockwork, U.S. Media sources sounded the alarm – e.coli will come here!

We must tighten down and quickly implement the Food Safety Modernization Act and ban the unpasteurized, the non-irradiated! The FDA needs more power, more money.

Healthy food, deemed the vessel for e.coli terrorism becomes a criminal accomplice that must be stopped (irradiated, banned). There is no question that the threat and proposed “solutions” will serve Big Ag and the the implementation of Codex Alimentarius guidelines.

CNN keeps showcasing an opinion piece called “The Other E. Coli Threat? Raw Milk” calling for its banishment. The writer calls raw food, particularly unpasteurized milk and juice “a very specific public safety risk” and that raw milk could cause a massive e. coli outbreak in the US (even though it mostly comes from drugged-up factory farm ground beef). That calling raw food and natural products healthy is a myth, and proponents are irresponsible.

David Gumpert (Raw Milk Revolution) was just waiting for that very shoe to drop in the wake of the world’s food borne illnesses. How bean sprouts across the globe can be tied to an unfounded threat of the unpasteurized here defies all logic, but the aggressive witch hunt will only continue.

Another article asks Does New Food Safety Law Prevent [E.Coli] In US? No, actually, how does a law prevent deadly infection? In its implementation? It continues to say that Obama called for spending $955 million on the FDA’s food safety program this fiscal year, but the FDA stated in a document (late May) that it wouldn’t be enough. “2012 is a crucial year for [FSMA] implementation. Lack of funding at this stage will stall essential foundation-laying efforts that are key to long-term success.”

NY Times asks “Could It Happen Here?” and also mentions the needed funding but that heartless congress actually wants to curb spending. It concludes, “Ensuring the safety of the food we eat is not a luxury. It’s an essential service.”

The dozens of deaths in Europe also serve to distract the public from noticing the thousands that die each year from FDA approved drugs, that 80% of antibiotics go to livestock, that antibiotic-resistant MRSA kills more annually than AIDS or that the majority of food-borne illness comes from non-organic USDA approved food. All of which will remain safe and unchanged during the coming FMSA scourge. Safety officials have done a lousy job protecting public health and had every chance in the world to do so – “but Look, Look everyone! E.Coli, over there!

More power, more money!”

No, it’s worse than that. It’s not bumbling incompetence – it is direct intent. Our FDA has increased powers under the Food Modernization Safety Act which comes from Codex Alimentarius, created by the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization, which are agencies of the UN. All entities that claim to protect the public, feed the hungry, and help the sick. A drive-by knowledge of those agencies and guidelines does not paint a picture of safety, health, food choice or sovereignty.

It is too contradictory and unfathomable for the good-natured who might instead begin to ask, “Are we funding and empowering those who wish us harm?”
How long will people stomach the fabricated reality?

Their solutions to the concocted threat – banishment, punishment, seizures, irradiation… To Be Continued…

The Coming American Nakba

2011-06-13T07:56:00.000-07:00

Poetry for Palestine

“In a redemptive state the Jewish People will reassume their more natural role as the head, leading the world to a new age”

“The natural inclination of the Jewish People is to elevate themselves to the level of mind and leadership, which naturally uplifts the entire world”

“Israel is associated with the three upper sefirot of the intellect. Though the head must always be connected to, and at times, draw inspiration and guidance from the emotions, its main task and responsibility is to lead“

Who Wags Who?
That is the Question!

When this obscene photo came to light, one of our Jewish supporters wrote to me to assert that these aggressive gangsters “must be Americans”and “not israelis”, never mind the caps they are wearing, never mind that the photo was taken in occupied Palestine and never mind that such hostility had become a trade mark for Jewish settlers in Palestine; our friends simply and desperately wanted to deflect away from the fact that these gangsters are primarily Jewish.

“Dear Nahida this religious writer thinks the newspaper photo caption, describing the people facing the camera as israelis, is wrong, and that they are actually US citizens”

These are the words I received from my friend… the fact that they are actually Jewish was completely omitted!I would imagine that consciously or subconsciously the aim of stressing that this group of youth with such aggressive looks and vile behaviour are USA citizens not “Israelis”, is to imply that such behaviour has nothing to do with their Jewish or “Israeli” identity, but much to do with their American identity.

The same observation becomes apparent whenever the topics of 9/11 or “war on terror” are discussed; some still insists that USA policies and wars in the Middle East is purely for the advantage and interest of America and that USA is actually using “Israel” to achieve its imperialistic goals in the region! Never mind the unwarranted amount of debt and economic distress which swathed it since then.

The best they can come up with to explain the irrevocable attachment is that both countries share mutual interests, which explains why America behaves in such perplexing and unexplainable manner when it comes to “Israel”.

Furthermore, when we discuss the Palestinian Nakba, and the extreme oppression of the Palestinians, people tend to think that it is a localized problem, contained in a far away land, and it has nothing to do with what is happening around them, in their own country, they assume that the main difficulty that faces Palestinians is the fact that USA is fully behind this entity, financially, militarily and morally, and that “Israel” will simply dwindle away if America is brought to its senses and stopped using “Israel” as its military arm in the region.

In fact, many still believe that “poor little Israel” and its “naive” Jewish population are victims of American imperialism, used and abused only to as a military base to advance its imperialistic agenda of expansionism and to further its capitalistic schemes.

It’s about time that US citizens and all those concerned with justice, open their eyes, wake up from their slumber and find out who really runs the USA, who authorizes its murderous policies, who manage their media, their education and their financial system.

Is it not a major cause of concern to realize that an excessively disproportional number of the “think tanks”, “financial manipulators“, “legislators”, “lobbyists“, “media players,“security chiefs”“, and “policy makers” are actually Israeli” citizens?

Is it not a major cause of alarm to learn that those influential people are dedicated and have intense connections with an occupation entity which has been engaged in methodical genocide and has been committing crimes against humanity for decades?

Is it not a major cause of panic and distress to discover their links to one of the most racist supremacist Jewish extremist group Chabad Lubavitch?

Is it not a major cause of dread to observe those sinister players took part in the cover up of truth about 9/ 11 and they continue to take part in the ugly game of “pass the parcel” of control amongst their brethren?

Is it not a major cause of disgust to discover that Both House and Senate have passed a bill that acknowledges the Chabadist Seven Laws of Noah, as the “basis of civilization”. The Bill also praises the supremacist Chabad Lubavitch Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, as a “universally respected” and revered leader and in “tribute to this great spiritual leader”, an “international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state”:

“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education Day, U.S.A.‘. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

Explaining this disturbing information and indigestible phenomenon away by the claim of a “superior Jewish intelligence”, a “finer Jewish aptitude” or a “diligent, high-achieving Jewish populace” is as racist as the Nazi claim of an “inferior Jewish intelligence” or “sluggish Jewish masses”.

Such nonsensical assumptions correspond with explaining the disproportionate number of black people in USA prisons with an intrinsic flaw of character and a natural leniency towards criminality within their populace!

Or are we supposed to believe that it’s all pure coincidence!?

What kind of coincidence is this?

How many gazillions of coincidences are we supposed to accept to explain away this disturbing reality before we notice that something fishy is going on?

And how much longer are we supposed to suppress our knowledge and hush hush this taboo subject, dancing around the elephant in the room while looking the other way, before we are allowed to give evidence, point the finger at the fetid core of the problem and name the real culprits?

It’s about time that US citizens open their eyes to the real criminals and to their insane ideology that motivates such power-crazed people who frantically pursue leadership and lust after control because they are lead to believe that they have been “chosen”, “a nation of priests” with “exceptional intelligence”, “superior morality”, “unique suffering” and “special mission” which warrant them to fulfil their “divine mission” to be “natural heads” who would “lead the world” to a “new age” as “light unto the nations”

If under-representation of minority groups reflects loathsome inequality, is it not troublesome and indeed worrisome when a small minority is disproportionately and excessively over-represented in the most sensitive and influential positions?

Is it not shocking to watch this ideologically-disturbed group pursue, implement and enforce its own interests ahead of and even against the interests of the majority, especially when these two interests are fundamentally conflicting?

Is it not scandalous to observe the largest and unprecedented transfer of wealth from poor to prosperous and the incalculable loss of property of the deprived only to be accumulated by the wealthiest?

Is it not outrageous to observe the disintegration of societies, the melting down of economy, the vaporizing of basic human-rights, the eradicating of individual and community elementary freedoms and the indescribable extermination of life, all under the smokescreen of “American Security” or “American Imperialism”, where neither has been achieved?

Is it not catastrophic to witness the ground preparation work of the coming American Nakba, which Palestinians have witnessed decades ago?

Don’t we, the people, have the right to ask and wonder, who? How? Where and why?I reiterate, I do not believe in conspiracies, on the other hand, I do not believe in coincidences either
