Here are some interesting claims by Professor James Petras:
The Financial Times editorial page carries a logo that proclaims: “Without fear and without favour”. Indeed the editors have shown no fear when it comes to … fabricating lies, promoting imperial wars decimating countries and impoverishing millions, whether in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and now Venezuela. The fearless “Lies of Our Times” have been at the forefront forging pretexts for inciting imperial armies to crush independent governments.
Despite its pretentious scribblers and prestigious claims, the FT is seen by the Anglo-American financial class as a belligerent purveyor of militarist policies designed for the most retrograde sectors of the ruling elite.
What is most striking about the FT fearless fabrications on behalf of imperial militarism is how often their political and economic prognostications have been incompetent and flat out wrong.

Life Following Economic Collapse
If you have been waiting for a public announcement or news headline to let you know that an economic collapse has begun, you are in for the surprise of your life. If history in other countries and in Detroit, Michigan is any indication, there won’t be an announcement. An economic collapse tends to sneak up on a city, region, or country gradually over time. In some cases, the arrival of an economic collapse is so gradual that most people living in it aren’t even aware of it at first.
Things just get gradually worse, often so gradually that people and families adjust as best they can until one day they actually realize that it’s not just their home or their neighborhood that has been hit so hard financially, it’s everyone. By that time, it’s often too late to take preventative action.
In March of 2011, Detroit’s population was reported as having fallen to 713,777, the lowest it had been in a century and a full 25% drop from 2000. In December 2011, the state announced its intention to formally review Detroit’s finances. In May of 2013, almost two years later, the city is deemed “clearly insolvent” and in July of 2013, the state representative filed a Chapter 9 bankruptcy petition for Motor City. Detroit became one of the biggest cities to file bankruptcy in history.
So we have only to look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan post-bankruptcy, to get an indication of what might soon be widespread across the United States and what is already widespread in countries like Brazil and Venezuela.
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
There’s really no way to predict the timing of an economic collapse with any certainty and in most cases, an economic collapse will occur gradually without much warning unless you are paying close attention to activity and events going on around you and around the world. The best way to be prepared when it does happen is to start changing your lifestyle now, in the ways discussed above, so that you and your family can survive hard times in the future.

How is the US government getting ready for a potential collapse? By stockpiling weapons and ammunition and threatening to outlaw US paper currency. These are NOT good signs.
Anyway, forewarned is forearmed:

Will Julian Assange Be Murdered ???
Next President May Order Assassination of WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange
“I mean, a dead man can’t leak stuff,” Bob Beckel, a Hillary strategist enraged by WikiLeaks dump of DNC said of Assange. "The guy’s a traitor, a treasonist, and … and he has broken every law in the United States. The guy ought to be – and I’m not for the death penalty – so, if I’m not for the death penalty, there’s only one way to do it, illegally shoot the son of a bitch."

Here are a few things you ought to know, dumbass:
1. Mr. Assange is not a US resident or citizen. Isn't he an Australian citizen?
2. Therefore, he cannot be called either a "traitor" or a "treasonist" with respect to the US or our constitution.
3. If Mr. Assange never sets foot on US territory, how can he be held accountable to US laws he allegedly has broken?
4. Statements like yours reveal the absurdity of the "war on terror". Somehow we've gone from taking revenge on the alleged planners and supporters of 9/11 attacks to the illegal killing of anyone who reveals US criminality to the public.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE JULIAN ASSANGE KILLED.

Free Speech Severely Restricted By US Colleges
If you haven’t been following higher education news, you may not be aware that this sort of thing is happening on college campuses all over America.
Schools are designating certain areas as “free speech zones” and in some cases even restricting those areas to certain times of day.
Before you get too angry at the administrator in this video, remember that he wasn’t the one who created this policy, he’s just charged with the awful task of enforcing it.
These ridiculous policies are created by higher level administrators in closed meetings.

I received an MSc degree from Clemson in the 90s. Back then the Gideon Society would come to the campus to distribute Holy Bibles once a year. I wonder if they have been restricted, too.
"Free speech zones"? When I was born, the entire USA was a free speech zone. Now it is little better than Nazi Germany. The only thing missing is concentration camps, but we are certain to see them too someday.

Bezos Wants More Cheap Labor
Jeff Bezos’ Editorial Board at the Washington Post is complaining that there aren’t enough Americans who want to work low-end jobs, so the government needs to import more foreign replacements.
“Typically the [immigrants] do jobs — tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want,” the Post claimed.
The Post’s authors are so out of touch they don’t realize that Americans have willingly done those jobs for more than 300 years, and that millions of Americans have gone on a virtual strike because low-end wages are already too low nationwide.
You can read the rest @
http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2016/08/26/washington-post-jeff-bezos-scab-workers-replace-americans/
So, 95 million of us already are out of work ... and the solution is to import more cheap labor?
Q: Does Bezos support Hillary or Trump?
A: You know the answer.
America's billionaires don't have enough money. They want to be trillionaires.
So far, immigrants are cheaper to hire than robots. But when that changes, Bezos and his ilk will drop their human labor like hot potatoes.

Hillary's Roadmap For America ???
How To Create A Socialist State (by Saul Alinsky)
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist state. The first is the most important ...
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Source - http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-27/hillary-clintons-roadmap-america
However, some aspects of the above do not make sense:
a) This is not "socialism" per se. It is FASCISM masquerading as socialism.
b) This plan is NOT going to result in taxing the wealthy (i.e., the 1% of the 1% of the 1%). After all, this is no longer Alinsky's plan, it is their plan.

Nobody Investing In Our Future
The U.S. economy, by some measures, has recovered from the Great Recession: The unemployment rate is only half what it was at the worst, real gross domestic product is about 10% larger than the previous peak, and personal wealth has risen by more than $20 trillion as the stock market and the housing market have bounced back.
But everyone knows the recovery has been uneven.
Total employment may have grown by 6 million since the recession began in 2008, but employment in manufacturing is down nearly 1.5 million. Real disposable incomes may be up by 16%, but because most of the increase has been captured by the richest sliver of society, the median family’s annual inflation-adjusted income is still down more than $3,000.
Most troubling, there’s still very little investment in the buildings, equipment and intellectual property that we ought to be putting into place today as the foundation of our prosperity tomorrow.
Who’s preparing the United States for the 21st century? Nobody, really. Not the 22 million private businesses, not the 118 million households, and not the 90,000 state, local or federal government agencies.

Demons In Our Midst
In the Christian tradition, God rules over all creation, material and spirit alike. He commands hosts of angels, and examples of interaction between these heavenly beings and mankind are littered throughout the Bible. Angels do the bidding of God, and are sent out as messengers, healers, rescuers, and sometimes destroyers that have wiped entire cities from ancient maps and decimated armies. All, though, serve the will of God, and the will of God is always good, brought forth from a place of unimaginable love for all creation. These angels are beings of goodness.
But not everything in the spiritual realm is holy. There is darkness, as well - darkness that once was light.
Revelation 12:7-9 reads, “Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”
Those angelic betrayers are now among us - spiritual beings so corrupt that they saw the very face of God, and yet still chose to betray Him, likely because of an intense jealousy of mankind. God, after all, made us in His image, and loves us dearly. And these angels who betrayed the God of the universe because of their jealousy of man were cast down to earth - with us.

Does DOD Make Us Secure ???
The U.S. Army has been falsifying its accounting records to the tune of $6.5 trillion for the year, according to a recent report by Department of Defense auditors. And the Department of Defense has been falsifying its accounting on a massive scale for years, as was reported by Reuters in 2013 and others stretching back to at least 2001. A private company or individual would have probably been arrested years ago for such practices, but the government will never arrest itself. Yet the taxpayers need to penalize this flagrant behavior. Other government departments regularly pass audits, but the sacrosanct DOD, shielded by "national security," is apparently exempt from such annoyances. And yet given the recent hyped threat environment, despite the actual very low probability of terrorist attacks, and the usual desire in a presidential election to avoid appearing "unpatriotic," both presidential candidates have pledged to lavish even more cash on defense – despite its already getting a massive $573 billion in 2016.
Yet how can we get much "national security" if the Army, DoD, Congress, and the public cannot tell how trillions of taxpayer dollars are being spent? The fraudulent data in DOD accounting systems render them essentially useless for making resource and management decisions.

DOD is a piggy bank for defense companies and a surrogate military force for Israel and the US deep state.
If we want to be "safer", we should throw the generals and admirals in jail alongside the Clintons and their neocon buddies.

Turkey Invades Syria
The invasion of Syria that so many people have been warning about is now happening.
On Wednesday, Turkish tanks rolled across the Syrian border, and they were accompanied by radical Islamic Syrian rebels that want to ultimately overthrow the Assad regime. This invasion was conducted under the code name “Euphrates Shield”, and it was supported by airstrikes from A-10s and F-16s that are part of the U.S.-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets in the region.
The mainstream media in the United States has been very quiet about this escalation of the conflict in Syria, but things are much different in the rest of the world. For example, a major Israeli news source announced the attack this way: “Turkey invades Syria“. And without a doubt, that is precisely what is taking place.
The Syrian government denounced this move by Turkey as a “blatant breach to its sovereignty”, and the Russians are deeply alarmed. The farther Turkish forces push into northern Syria, the more likely they will be to encounter Syrian or Russian forces, and one bad move could result in the outbreak of World War 3 in the Middle East.

This raises some interesting questions:
1. Was the "coup" in Turkey engineered to pave the way for this invasion?
2. How did we transition so quickly from "US caused the coup" to "US support for the invasion"?
3. Were the nuclear warheads at Incirlik held hostage, and was giving a green light for the invasion the ransom Obama ad-Dajjal paid to get them back? He's awfully good at paying ransoms.
4. How did World War III get started with US assets without the deliberation of our Congress; or did they somehow tacitly give the approval for this ongoing disaster?
Yes, the war to end all wars has started. May G-d forgive us.

Video Manipulation Of Hillary's NV Speech ???
Here is an eye-opening observation by Professor James Tracy:
In the immediate aftermath of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s speech at the Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno Nevada today there is an unusual six-seconds of missing video. Thereafter as the video comes back and Clinton is glad-handing audience members, smart phones capturing footage of Clinton’s exit in apparently real time reveal an empty room. This can be verified against identical video of the event here beginning at 39:00. Video footage continues for only a half-minute until segueing to still images at 39:31.

"Land Of The Free" No More
"The relationship between those who are constantly watched and tracked, and those who watch and track them, is the relationship between masters and slaves."
Yesterday, Bloomberg published a lengthy expose on a company called Persistent Surveillance Systems, which has been secretly surveilling the people of Baltimore on behalf of the police since January.
The article is titled, 'Secret Cameras Record Baltimore’s Every Move From Above', and here are some choice excerpts:
Pritchett had no idea that as he spoke, a small Cessna airplane equipped with a sophisticated array of cameras was circling Baltimore at roughly the same altitude as the massing clouds. The plane’s wide-angle cameras captured an area of roughly 30 square miles and continuously transmitted real-time images to analysts on the ground. The footage from the plane was instantly archived and stored on massive hard drives, allowing analysts to review it weeks later if necessary.
Since the beginning of the year, the Baltimore Police Department had been using the plane to investigate all sorts of crimes, from property thefts to shootings. The Cessna sometimes flew above the city for as many as 10 hours a day, and the public had no idea it was there.
Are we citizens, or are we subjects? I think the answer is obvious.

Realistically, the entire "war on terror" was a scam designed to allow the government to throw the US Constitution under the bus for the benefit of the deep state and its corporate backers. We The People are their vassals, and I doubt there's any going back.
By the way, Dayton (the home of Persistent Surveillance Systems) also is the home of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (http://www.wpafb.af.mil/). Do you suppose there is any connection between the two?
I don't know about you, but I am tired of the US military being used against us (and that includes military retirees and contractors).

Half Of US Consumers In Dire Straits
Both Dollar General and Dollar Tree said pressures on their core lower-income shoppers contributed to the same-store sales misses that both retailers reported. On today's conference call, Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos said that he was surprised to admit that while on the surface things are supposed to be getting better, the reality is vastly different for low-income US consumers:
"I know that when we look at globally the overall U.S. population, it seems like things are getting better. But when you really start breaking it down and you look at that core consumer that we serve on the lower economic scale that's out there, that demographic, things have not gotten any better for her, and arguably, they're worse. And they're worse, because rents are accelerating, healthcare is accelerating on her at a very, very rapid clip."
Making matters worse, he added that the company's core consumers base, 65% of which is comprised of lower-income shoppers, has been impacted by the recent reduction or elimination in foodstamps: "now couple that in upwards of 20 states where they have reduced or eliminated the SNAP benefit, and it has really put a toll on [the core consumer]."

Recovery? WHAT recovery? Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions have been lying about everything.
I sincerely doubt the next administration will be able to save us from what's coming.

The Nutty Generation ???
New concerns arise about the mental health of students on college campuses all across the country.
Dr. Gene Beresin, a psychiatrist and Executive Director of The Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds at Massachusetts General Hospital, says 50% to 60% of college students have a psychiatric disorder.
“What I’m including in that is the use of substances, anxiety, depression, problems with relationships, break-ups, academic problems, learning disabilities, attentional problems,” says Dr. Beresin. “If you add them all up 50% doesn’t seem that high.”

Nostradamus, Hiƒter, and Mabus
Nostradamus is said to have predicted the rise of three "Antichrists", named PAU NAY LORON, HIƒTER, and MABUS, respectively. You can read about his predictions here:
http://www.hogueprophecy.com/mabus/
The first is said to have been Napoleon.
Many think the second was Adolf Hitler. However, there is a "Hiƒter" walking the earth right now - General Hiƒter of Libya. You can read about him here:
http://news.antiwar.com/2016/08/17/us-sees-longtime-cia-asset-gen-hifter-as-threat-to-libya-war/
There also is a prominent "Mabus" among the living - US Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. You can read about him here:
http://www.navy.mil/navybio_ldr.asp?id=505
I am not convinced that General Hiƒter and Secretary Mabus are the Antichrists predicted by Nostradamus, but I am saying we should reassess these prophecies in light of current events. Both General Hiƒter and Secretary Mabus currently are in positions which would allow them to affect world history in a manner very similar to what Nostradamus saw.

The Declining Return On Humans
Here is a sober, very alarming look at our future:
Do you feel something is wrong with the United States and the global economy? Despite a respectable recovery and low unemployment, many people aren’t happy with their current economic situation or their outlook for the future. From rising prices for basic necessities or schooling, to harsh competition and low pay for lower income jobs to negative interest rates—the poor and the middle class all have their problems to deal with.
Experts in the government or central banks are trying to manage a suboptimal situation but cannot isolate the problem, let alone offer solutions. Or maybe they know what’s wrong but don’t want to talk about it because the truth is too shocking.
Enter Viktor Shvets, the global strategist of the investment bank Macquarie Group. He not only dares to think outside the box but also isn’t afraid to openly voice his opinions, which are fascinating and shocking at the same time.
“The private sector will never recover, it will never multiply money again,” he told Epoch Times in an interview. His main theme is the “declining return on humans,” which means that in today’s digital world, normal humans don’t grow productivity fast enough to justify more jobs and higher wages as the machines are taking over.
“There is no productivity on a global basis. Secular stagnation, technological shifts, monetary policy, all are suppressing productivity growth rates,” he says. But what about technology making humans more productive? Shvets says this was true in the first and second industrial revolution where displaced jobs such as horse-cart drivers eventually morphed into higher tech and higher productivity ones like the taxi driver.
However, in this, the third industrial revolution, machines are not augmenting humans, they are replacing them. The self-driving car will completely eliminate the driver. And even in the previous more mechanical industrial revolutions, it often took decades for productivity growth to recover and for jobs to come back, only after higher productivity sectors dominated the majority of the economy.

This echoes my concerns about robots and AI. The living dead (a.k.a. corporations) need to replace us with robots to survive. That does not bode well for OUR chances at survival.
When the "smartest" people claim that humans are a threat not only to corporate profits but also to the very health of the planet, a massive holocaust cannot be far off.
Reports like this one which state that humanity has been harming the planet for a very long time imply that We The People must somehow be "dealt with":

Note well that in spite of the fact corporations always have been the greatest environmental threat, We The People are being blamed for everything the living dead have done. They will continue to thrive while we will be wiped out.

Military Drills In Boston ???
Boston police sent out a community advisory to alert residents about a planned training exercise in conjunction with the defense department. The advisory said the training is not in response to any world events.
FOX25 reached out to the Boston Police Department and was told “specifics are kept mysterious for good reason.”
The Blackhawk helicopters were all lined up on the tarmac at a local airfield Wednesday. The Department of Defense would not comment on the exercise.
The exercise is expected to continue until Friday, and FOX25 is told the Boston Police Department will release more information after it ends.

Hillary's Thyroid Issue
Hillary allegedly is hypothyroid. So are a lot of other people; I am one of them.
Here is one recent statement about her condition:
But for the 10 percent of patients who don't find relief from their symptoms, doctors often prescribe a combination hormone therapy such as Armour Thyroid, which uses the T3 and T4 hormones for a more effective medication.
"Armour Thyroid ... is a good preparation, but we don't use it that much because most patients are happy with levothyroxine," Gharib said. "The theory is that one hormone may not be enough; two is better."
You can read the rest @
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/the-health-problem-clinton-actually-has/article/2600012
I have been a thyroid patient for over 30 years. I can attest from personal experience that Dr. Gharib's statement is ABSURD. Ten percent of thyroid patients are NOT on Armour Thyroid.
I searched high and low for a doctor who would prescribe Armour Thyroid. I never found one.
I searched high and low for a pharmacy which sells Armour Thyroid. I have never found one of those, either.
If it's even true, it's amazing that Hillary is taking Armour Thyroid. Doing so implies she is being treating by physician(s) from the Stone Age.

Another BS Movie From Ron Howard
Yesterday I watched the Jason Bourne movie. Not bad.
One of the coming attraction trailers was for the latest Dan Brown / Ron Howard / Tom Hanks piece of BS titled Inferno. You can read about it here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3062096/
The plot consists of foiling a "deadly global plot", some sort of terrorist contagion which will kill billions of people.
Anyone familiar with the Book of Revelation will recognize this type of "deadly global plot" as one of the punishments which will be meted out by G-d during the promised Day of the Lord. To blame such a thing on "terrorists" is to claim that G-d's punishment of humanity is unwarranted. In other words, G-d is someone or something to be resisted and/or struggled against, not someone whose justice should be accepted because it is perfect.
In presenting such a movie plot, Dan Brown, Ron Howard, and Tom Hanks appear to be carrying out Satan's agenda, knowingly or unknowingly.
For a good explanation of what I mean by this, please read this earlier blog post:

Is Hillary Also Wearing A Catheter ???
Recent photos of Hillary suggest she is wearing a catheter under her pants suit leg:
“The way the tube wraps around (Hillary’s) leg is exactly how a Foley catheter is positioned. The tube leads to a sticky patch above the knee that has a little plastic clamp that holds the tube as it goes into the drainage bag down on the calf, ” an anonymous nurse stated.

Rome Vs. The Taliban
Here is some of the latest news from Afghanistan:
More than a hundred U.S. troops were sent to Lashkar Gah, Afghanistan on Monday to continue fighting the Taliban, in the first deployment of forces to the area since the drawdown in 2014 - offering another signal that the U.S. military presence there is expanding, not decreasing, as President Barack Obama has promised.
The Guardian reports:
"Since late July, the Taliban have seized new territory across Helmand, defying a series of about 30 U.S. airstrikes, and raising concern of an attack on the capital. The militants have also stepped up attacks in the country’s north, closing in on Kunduz, which they briefly captured last year."

Almighty Rome, the greatest power of its time, was not able to crush early Christianity. Eventually the Romans became Christians themselves.
And now almighty America, perhaps the greatest power of all time, is not able to crush the Taliban. Does this mean that eventually we shall become Muslims? Based on birthrates, there is a darn good chance of that happening.
So tell me, why are we spending all this money on a losing cause?

Syria's Children Starving To Death
Bara should weigh 7kg - but he is just half that.
His ribs can be seen protruding from the skin on his tiny chest, and he's been without a proper supply of milk for months.
At a makeshift clinic in the the eastern countryside of Syria's Hama province, an area controlled by opposition forces trying to depose President Bashar al-Assad, volunteer medics are trying everything to save the seven-month-old's life.
But with his body extremely weak and frail owing to long-term exposure to malnutrition, they say he will probably die.
Hundreds of deaths have been reported from preventable causes in the area, and medics say there are around 40 children in a similarly perilous condition to Bara.
Aid hardly reaches Hama, and when it does finally get through, products to treat hunger and malnutrition - such as peanut butter paste supplements - are not suitable for toddlers and babies.
"One of the reasons for malnutrition is that children are given goat's milk," Mohammed Motair, a paediatrician in Hama, told Al Jazeera.
As the fighting rages on around them, almost five million Syrians are not getting enough food, water or medicine, according to UNICEF.

This morning I shopped at a big box grocery store which was packed to the rafters with nutritious food. None of if will be going to Syria, but my tax dollars will be used in part to continue the destruction of that sovereign nation.
Syria's children are starving because of Hillary Clinton's boot-licking support of Israel.
And if you recall, Iraq's children also were starved because of her "husband's" obsequious support of Israel.
Are you going to let these two murderers back into the White House so they can kill even MORE children for the benefit of Israel and the global ruling class?
If you do, you are nuts !!!

Deaf Mute Killed By Cops For Using Sign Language
A community and family is mourning the loss of Daniel Kevin Harris, whose life was taken this week by a State Trooper who apparently fears sign language. Harris, who is deaf and mute, was gunned down in front of his house.
According to police, trooper Jermaine Saunders attempted to pull Harris over around 6:14 p.m. on Thursday. For an unknown reason, Harris did not stop and, instead, drove to his home.
During the pursuit, both cars became damaged and eventually came to a stop near Harris’ home.
“I was here in my driveway and I saw the highway patrol car come through and it was smoking really bad,” said neighbor Mark Barringer. “About 10 seconds later, I heard one gunshot.”
According to WCNC, Barringer says when he went to take a closer look, he saw Harris in the middle of the street. He died just a few feet from his front door. Several neighbors have put flowers near where Harris took his final breaths.
“It was surreal, you just don’t expect to see something like that,” said Barringer. “When the gunshot went off, it was scary.”
According to police, detectives say Saunders and Harris got into “an encounter” before the officer killed him. However, according to neighbors, as soon as Harris got out of his vehicle, Saunders fired.

Realistically, it is police who should be disarmed. Their use of firearms does not seem to deter criminals, and it certainly is a grave threat to the rest of us.

DC Has Been Slimed
Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson have been slimed.
A mysterious black slime has been steadily oozing over Washington DC's most famous monuments, including the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials.
The Jefferson Memorial's white marble dome is slowly turning gray from the icky substance, which is called biofilm, and not actually a slime, but more of a powder, reports CBS News.
The black stuff has also creeped over the Arlington National Cemetery and on the Washington Monument and the tombstones at Congressional Cemetery, according to NPS.gov.

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Obviously we're not there yet, but this black slime may be the beginning of the darkness which is filling our land.
Perhaps the way to get rid of it is to stop blaspheming and to start repenting of our evil deeds. Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen if Hillary becomes President.

The End Of US Journalism
Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.
The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.
The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.
The largest broadcast networks - CBS, NBC and ABC - and major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.
Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.
By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion.

This is not just about Trump and Hillary. This is about oligarchs, bankgangsters, and corporate CEOs controlling our economy and political process for their own benefit. We The People no longer matter.
It is significant that the first two amendments in the US Bill of Rights deal with the right of free expression and worship, and with the right of the people to use firearms to preserve their freedom. It is also significant that our would-be rulers attack those rights on a continual basis.

Obama And Hillary DID Create ISIS
Once again, Trump has been telling the truth while Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary have been lying about everything:
Judicial Watch proved it. Under a Freedom of Information Act request, Judicial Watch was able to obtain a (heavily redacted) copy of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) directive that initiated the creation of ISIS in 2012. the DIA report states:
“THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY [WHO] SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION ... [SUPPORT] ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA ... IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME ...”.
Not even Judicial Watch seems to have appreciated the significance of this document, where its press release focused on the Benghazi attack. Recent releases of Hillary’s emails, moreover, confirm that taking out Assad has nothing to do with his alleged abuse of the Syrian people but because it will help Israel.
Just in case it has slipped anyone’s mind, Hillary was Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. Barack was inaugurated in 2008 and steps down in 2016. It happened on their watch. It could not have happened without their approval. They really did create ISIS!

Do you want 4 more years of this crap? I don't.
And I don't want a government whose foreign policy is dictated by Israel, either.

Is Germany Preparing For War ???
According to this report, the German government is encouraging its citizens to stockpile emergency supplies of food, water, and cash:
http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2016/08/21/bundesregierung-buerger-sollen-lebensmittel-und-bargeld-bunkern/ [translation required]
What do they know that we don't? Is it war, or a financial crash they are most worried about?
Note well the US government is not warning its citizens about anything. In my view, this is not because they believe nothing bad will happen, but because they really do not give a damn about us.

Is US Guilty Of Genocide Against Muslims ???
Hearkening back to the Japanese interment camps of WWII, some Americans are now calling for Muslims to be placed in camps or even openly calling for genocide against the 1.6 billion practitioners of the faith.
It may never be possible to know the true death toll of the modern Western wars on the Middle East, but that figure could be 4 million or higher. Since the vast majority of those killed were of Arab descent, and mostly Muslim, when would it be fair to accuse the United States and its allies of genocide?
A March report by Physicians for Social Responsibility calculates the body count of the Iraq War at around 1.3 million, and possibly as many as 2 million. However, the numbers of those killed in Middle Eastern wars could be much higher. In April, investigative journalist Nafeez Ahmed argued that the actual death toll could reach as high as 4 million if one includes not just those killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also the victims of the sanctions against Iraq, which left about 1.7 million more dead, half of them children, according to figures from the United Nations.

The US has more excuses for its killing than Carter has Little Liver Pills.
OF COURSE IT'S GENOCIDE, but it will never be recognized or punished as such because the US controls most of the Western world's tools for language, thought, and the exchange of ideas as well as the system of international justice (sic).

Measuring Poverty
A team of Stanford researchers have created a program that uses only publicly available satellite imagery to cheaply and efficiently find poverty indicators. The program could be a cheap and accurate new method of poverty data collection.

I like this idea.
But does anyone think that wealthy nations (i.e., the people who meet at Davos) are going to spend "their" wealth to alleviate the poverty measured by this program?
Or will it be used instead as a targeting system to decide where to deploy the authonomous killer robots they are developing?

The Dawn Of Killer Robots ???
Jody Williams would love to sit down with Google cofounders Sergey Brin or Larry Page, if given the chance. Williams won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work in banning anti-personnel landmines, and has taken that same fight to stopping killer robots with the appropriately-named Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
“If I could sit down with Google people, I would want them to make a public pledge to not become involved with autonomous killer robots,” Williams said. “I also want some money from them.”
Google’s foray into the military-industrial complex is one thing. But when it comes to the march of military robotics, MIT physicist Max Tegmark thinks there’s a bigger precedent: the atomic bomb. Tegmark, whose Future of Life Institute recently got a cool $10 million donation from Elon Musk to launch of global research program aimed at ensuring tomorrow’s intelligent machines align with human interests, recalled those Manhattan Project scientists who were cut out of discussions over whether the US should deploy nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
For their part, Conner, Lattimer, and the dozens of engineering students and professionals working on ATLAS, ESCHER, and the nine other robots participating in the DARPA challenge have the best intentions: they say they’re building tools they hope will help humanity. One can only hope.

Considering what we got from Obama ad-Dajjal, "one can only hope" is a rather depressing sentiment.
Dear Jody: Even if Google made such a public pledge, it would not prevent the development and deployment of autonomous killer robots. That decision already has been made.

Is Federal Reserve System Run By Idiots ???
The Federal Reserve is close to hitting its targets for full employment and 2 percent inflation, the Fed's No. 2 policymaker said on Sunday in comments that did not address when the U.S. central bank should next raise interest rates.
The Fed has been suggesting it could raise rates in 2016 since it tightened policy in December for the first time in nearly a decade, but investors have doubts the central bank will follow through on that guidance.
Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer gave a generally upbeat assessment of the economy's current strength, saying the job market was close to full strength and still improving.
"We are close to our targets," Fischer said in prepared remarks for a conference in Aspen, Colorado.

Almost 95 million of us are not in the workforce. What kind of a "target" is that?
And by the way, two percent inflation doubles the cost of everything in a generation (35 years). What kind of a target is THAT?
Clearly, the Federal Reserve System does not work for We The People.

China Going Up, US Going Down
China and the United States are moving in polar opposite directions: Beijing is rapidly becoming the center of overseas investments in high tech industries, including robotics, nuclear energy and advanced machinery with collaboration from centers of technological excellence, like Germany.
In contrast, Washington is pursuing a predatory military pivot to the least productive regions with collaboration from its most barbaric allies, like Saudi Arabia.
China is advancing to global economic superiority by borrowing and innovating the most advance methods of production, while the US degrades and debases its past immense productive achievements to promote wars of destruction.
China’s growing prominence is the result of a cumulative process that advanced in a systematic way, combining step-by-step growth of productivity and innovation with sudden jumps up the ladder of cutting edge technology.

The Empire is desperate, but I fear that nothing we are doing will make any difference at this point. Like it or not, we're going down unless we make some DRASTIC changes.

Netherlands on brink of banning sale of petrol-fuelled cars
'We need to phase out CO2 emissions and we need to change our pattern of using fossil fuels if we want to save the Earth,' says a Dutch Labour Party member.
