The Ghost Of Obama ad-Dajjal Lives On

Here is a wonderful analysis from Jon Rappoport:

The whole thrust of ops after Election Night was designed to allow media to wriggle off the hook for predicting Hillary would win and for overtly supporting her.

The storyline? Trump isn’t actually the president. He didn’t win. He cheated. Therefore, we the media were correct. Hillary did win. Our polls were accurate. Our forecast was accurate.

This is now bolstered by the return of Obama. The great one sojourned in the desert and came back to give us more truth. O hail. All praise.

“Okay, Trump IS the president, but not really. Obama is.”

This is what you get in certain countries where the president is running the day-to-day show, and then suddenly, from behind the curtain, steps the great religious figure wearing his cloak and his hat. He speaks a few words of wisdom (and warning, because he is the spiritual leader of millions of people), shakes his bejeweled finger, and disappears.

We can expect this action from Obama now and again as time passes.

Trump will not really be president until he puts Hillary in jail. His decision to not punish the crimes of his predecessors may doom him to failure.

Is It Time For Extreme Measures ???

A social justice warrior involved in the Seattle street protests tells you everything you need to know about what the future holds and lends further evidence to the notion that America sits on the precipice of widespread civil unrest.

Anyone now promoting extreme measures is NUTS.

Before you follow this woman to your doom, consider what happened to John Brown. He tried the same thing and wound up at the end of a rope:

And it doesn't matter that he may have sparked the Civil War, because in spite of all the carnage in that war the impacts of slavery are still with us.

Here's Why US Economy Has Stalled

Apple's enormous cash hoard grew to $246.09 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, up $8.49 billion from the previous quarter.

That figure is larger than Sri Lanka's estimated 2016 gross domestic product, but smaller than Denmark's, according to the CIA World Factbook. If Apple's cash pile was its own public company, it would be the 13th largest in the world.

Hoarders aren't innovators, nor are they investors in anything other than their egos.

The Hypocrisy Of State Department Tears

Here is a story about people at the State Department allegedly crying tears over Trump's refugee policy:

https://theintercept.com/2017/01/30/asylum-officials-and-state-department-in-turmoil-there-are-people-literally-crying-in-the-office-here/

Where were these employees and their tears when Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary were needlessly destroying Libya and Syria, two of the countries which are the largest source of those refugees?

Where were they when the US conspired to overthrow the government of Ukraine?

Where were they when Hillary was breaking the law and being protected by State Department upper management?

And where is their indignation over Europe's plans to more or less copy what Trump has done? You can read about that here:

The moral arrogance of many European politicians against the US [ban] is not appropriate. Today, Libya's unimaginable conditions prevail. In addition, EU politicians are working on a massive tightening up against immigrants.

Is China Coming To America ???

Contrary to popular opinion, many foreign companies want to open businesses inside the US. Here is a story about one such firm:

http://whowhatwhy.org/2017/01/31/guess-whos-moving-factories-america-lower-costs/

In a former life, I wrote air pollution permits for a state environmental agency. We frequently got applications from foreign firms wanting to open facilities in our state: from China, Germany, Italy, Korea - you name it, they wanted to come here.

It was US companies who were fleeing the US in search of higher profits, cheaper workers, and decreased regulatory requirements.

So, from my perspective the real problems with our economy were not caused by foreigners. They were manufactured right here in the good old U S of A. And we're STILL not holding the bums accountable.

This Is Really Getting Nasty

Here is the latest from our friends south of the border:

There will be war in the streets, or at least there could be.

The strong armed tactics against Mexico are not making officials happy south of the border.

Now, with an executive order facilitating the deportation of illegal immigrants – and especially those who have committed criminal offenses – as well as building a wall on the border, President Trump has many Mexicans up in arms.

Jorge CastaƱeda Gutman, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, took things a step further during an interview on CNN with Fareed Zakaria when he suggested that Mexico’s previous cooperation with the U.S. in curbing the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants could end.

Instead, the cartels could be essentially unleashed upon the U.S. – retribution for tough policies on Mexico and other immigrant-producing countries in the Latin American world.

These astonishing words could open up an economic gang war against the U.S. –  very irresponsible words that reveal just how connected Mexico’s leadership is with the violent drug cartels who operate from their territories.

To quote President George W. Bush - BRING 'EM ON !!!

Stopping the flow of illegal drugs should be a top priority for our government. Why are we focusing on ISIS, when they pose no direct threat to the US, while trying to keep open a border to facilitate the commission of criminal acts (e.g., smuggling and illegal immigration)?

Our entire approach, both Trump and anti-Trump, is screwed up. This will not end well.

Mining The Moon

Apparently President Trump is helping this private company get to the moon:

Moon Express, the first private company in history to receive government permission to travel beyond Earth's orbit, announced Tuesday that it raised another $20 million in private equity financing to fund its maiden lunar mission to take place in late 2017. This brings the total amount of private investment to $45 million from investors that include Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Collaborative Fund and Autodesk.

What may have added impetus to investor interest in Moon Express is President Trump's picks for the NASA transition team - Charles Miller and Chris Shank - and the leading candidate to become the next NASA administrator, GOP Rep. Jim Bridenstine. All support commercial space ventures and manned exploration - including lunar missions.

If successful, the new MX-1 lunar lander from Moon Express would not only win the $20 million Google Lunar XPRIZE, it would also help jump-start a new era of space exploration. Up until now, only government-funded missions from the United States, China and Russia have landed on the moon.

Q: Who will benefit from these riches?

A: Not you and me.

It's not that hard to get to the moon, but bringing back appreciable quantities of anything is not going to be so easy.

Is Helping Muslims Disobeying Jesus ???

Many people in the US say they want to help Muslims, out of compassion I guess. And they are willing to disobey their own government to do so.

But is that what Jesus told us to do?

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew 10:14-15 KJV

Muslims know all about Jesus and His mother Mary. But they mock His divinity and reject the message of His Gospels. They clearly have not received Christianity and have not heard and accepted the Word.

And Jesus said not to have anything to do with such people. So why are you doing otherwise?

If you really want to help Muslims, get Israel to stop persecuting the Palestinians, get the US to stop destroying Syria, stop the insane war in Yemen, and stop the indiscriminate killing of Muslims using drones.

Nothing about any of those actions would violate what Jesus told us to do.

Are We Going To War With Iran ???

Hold on to something - rough road ahead:

So it may well be with H.J.Res. 10, introduced in the House just as the new Congress began at the beginning of this month. The title of the bill tells the tale: a bill “To authorize the use of the United States Armed Forces to achieve the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.” This legislation, introduced by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), is as it appears: an authorization for the President to use military force against Iran. But it is much worse than that.

Why so? Because it specifically authorizes the president to launch a pre-emptive war on Iran at any time of his choosing and without any further Congressional oversight or input. The operative sentence in the resolution reads, “The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as the President determines necessary and appropriate in order to achieve the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.”

President Trump - and, importantly, his entire national security team - has been extraordinarily aggressive toward Iran, repeatedly threatening that country both at the negotiating table and on the battlefield. H.J.Res 10 would be just the blank check the Administration craves to realize such threats.

We dodged one pro-Israel crazy when Hillary lost the election, but it appears we gained another more rabid one in Trump.

But there is some logic to this. The US has been helping Israel prepare for rebuilding the Jewish Temple, and attacking Iran may be the final piece in that particular puzzle. The reason? Israel will destroy the mosques of the Noble Sanctuary to make room for the Third Temple, which will anger the world's Muslims. It might be expected that a nuclear armed Iran would at that point attack Israel. So it's reasonable to expect Israel's lap dog (i.e., the US military) to take action to prevent such a possibility.

It's easy to figure out what is going to happen in the Middle East and why. Just read your Bible - it's the US government's road map.

Quote For The Day

"No group in this country should be permitted to influence our policy to the point it could endanger our national security."
James Forrestal, first US Secretary of Defense

President Trump, take note.

Nineteen Eighty-Four Has Little To Do With Trump

According to this report, the election of Donald Trump has sent dystopian novels such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four flying off the shelves:

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38764041

I have read Orwell's work and Huxley's as well. And it is clear to me that US totalitarianism and fascism would exist no matter who is president. It is corporations and the deep state who have driven us in this direction, and Trump is merely the latest figurehead to have risen to the top of our festering garbage heap. This goes way back, to the advent of the national security state in 1947, and perhaps earlier.

For a good comparison of the difference between Orwell's philosophy and that of Huxley's, read this. I think you will agree that Huxley's predictions are very close to what we have become:

US Is The World's Dumping Ground

America has been building and leading an increasingly free multilateral trading world for the past 70 years. For all that – partly through its own negligence – it ended up holding the bag as a dumping ground and the world's buyer of last resort.

No more. From now on, the trade free-riders will have to deal with America's crushing bargaining power in closely monitored and promptly terminated bilateral free-trade deals. All that, I suppose, will be based on principles of reciprocity and on the WTO trade rules.

Why Is Seal Team 6 Killing People In Yemen ???

Here they go again:

Pentagon officials confirmed that Navy SEAL Team 6 attacked what they described as an “al-Qaeda headquarters” in Yemen’s central Bayda Province, bragging of killing “about 14” al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula fighters and taking a cache of information. They reported a single soldier killed.


Absent from the Pentagon’s account of what happened over the course of the raid, which supposedly lasted less than an hour, and left a large number of women and children riddled with bullets, including at least one eight-year-old girl named Nora, the daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US cleric who was assassinated by the Obama Administration. The Cairo AP office reported receiving photographs showing the bodies of several young children who were shot multiple times during the raid.  Roughly 57 people were killed overall, according to Yemeni officials, though they claimed a lot more AQAP fighters slain than the US reckoning of 14. Either way, a substantial number of civilians were among the slain.

http://www.mintpressnews.com/seal-team-6-raid-in-yemen-kills-57-including-woman-and-children/224522/

I doubt any of the dead had anything to do with 9/11, so why did we send Navy Seals to kill them? Just because someone claimed they were "al-Qaeda"?

This is starting to remind me of what "our" government did in Waco, TX on April 19, 1993, when they killed 76 people, many of whom also were innocent women and children.

And PLEASE don't tell me that the Seals are going to blame this on their officers. See here for an exposĆ© of what they have done in the past:

https://theintercept.com/2017/01/10/the-crimes-of-seal-team-6/

Don't get me wrong - I have respect and admiration for US Special Forces. But all this wanton killing appears to have gotten completely out of hand. Why aren't the anti-Trump protesters upset about this?

Trump Defies Protesters

Here's another essay decrying Trump's ban on immigrants:

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/01/30/immi-j30.html

I have two observations and a suggestion:

(O1) This ban is neither illegal nor unconstitutional.

(O2) Trump stated clearly prior to the election that he intended to do this. Had they not been so lazy, these protesters should have gone to the polls and voted for someone else.

(S1) One way to nip this in the bud would be for Trump to take action against the Soros gang. Isn't it a crime to foment insurrection?

We Are In A Dangerous Divide

Here is an essay I think all of us should read:

We are now seeing the progression of what many of us have been calling an engineered civil unrest designed to overthrow the government of the United States now that Obama the sorcerer is not in office.

So in the interest of explaining the current massive divide and civil unrest we are seeing in America, I put together a chart that fundamentally explains everything we are seeing. The video below breaks everything down leaving no rock unturned and will allow truth seekers to easily predict future events as well as understand events as they happen in real-time.

Ultimately the goal is to spread the understanding of this information far and wide so that the tactics of the ruling elite will fail. Below is a chart which is fully explained in the video and it explains all the different paradigms in place right now in the United States. Understanding this information could be the difference between civil war and peace and order here in America.


For the sake of clarity the 4 columns represent 4 major political ideologies. Actually it’s 3 ideologies plus one more; T= truth seekers who are represented in green all the way on the right. The rest of the ideologies are the following:

D = Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Communist and those that believe in big government, the collective ideology and global government.

R = Republicans, Conservatives, Tea Party, Libertarian and those that generally believe in small government, the strength of the nation state and conservative values.

A= Anarchists who are those who fundamentally do not believe in any form of government. This group is very important to understand in light of the big picture and current day events as I explain in my video.

As you can see I inserted one other group at the bottom, group X which represents everyone else who doesn’t care about truth, anarchism or political systems. Understanding this group is another key to understanding the engineered chaos of today. This group consists of druggies, gangsters, thugs, many prisoners, medicated zombies, partiers who don’t care about anything but themselves and others.

I also strongly suggest that you watch the video, as it ties these ideas together.

Are Tech Companies Lying To Us ???

US tech companies are squealing like stuck pigs over Trump's new immigration policies. You can read about it here:

American technology companies for years have relied on a steady stream of skilled engineers from overseas to help them create their products.

Now many of those companies and their workers are girding for expected changes to immigration policy under President Trump that the companies say could hurt their ability to tap the technical talent they need to stay competitive.


Mr. Trump, who has signed a series of executive orders related to immigration, is expected to soon take similar action on visa programs for foreign workers.


You can read the rest @
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/business/technology-h-1b-visa-immigration.html

But is it "technical talent" they're after, or "cheaper workers"?

Here are the facts:

Contrary to [some] assertions, there are more than 11 million Americans with degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) who lack employment in these fields, and U.S. schools are graduating two times more students with STEM degrees than are annually finding employment in these fields.

You can read the rest @
http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-war-on-us-workers.html

Assuming (as we are constantly told) that US graduates are just as good as foreign graduates, why aren't US tech firms hiring them?

Frankly, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and the rest of these clowns are lying to us. They appear to be much more interested in their personal wealth than they are in the health of the US economy and the welfare of their fellow citizens.

In fact, it is reasonable to argue they don't give a DAMN about us. Well guess what? I don't give a damn about them, either.

Christian Leaders Are Concerned ???

According to this report, Christian leaders are concerned about Trump's refugee policy:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/christians-refugees-trump/514820/

Really? Where was their concern when:

  • George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama ad-Dajjal starved the children of Iraq?
  • George W. Bush attacked Iraq?
  • Hillary Clinton and Obama ad-Dajjal destroyed Libya and Syria?
  • George W. Bush and Obama ad-Dajjal murdered people in the Middle East using drones?
  • The United States started using food as a weapon?
  • G-d was banned from our schools?
  • Our nation became a cesspool of filth and abominations?

Yes, it is right to have compassion for the homeless, the sick, the needy, and the oppressed. But PLEASE wake up, Christian leaders - many of these catastrophes are caused by politicians you support.

We all share in the guilt, and it's going to be damned hard to wash the blood off our hands.

Amazon Plans To Destroy More Jobs

Amazon has begun shipping products from Chinese merchant partners to its U.S. warehouses via its own ocean freighters.

Amazon used to outsource exclusively.

Question: How long will it be before Amazon has minimal to no staff on self-guided transports?

Supply Chain 247 reports Amazon Enters Trillion Dollar Ocean Freight Business.

Amazon doesn’t want to have to rely on (and pay) third-party delivery companies. It’s already taken control of lorries and planes and now it’s taking control of ships, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Specifically, the Seattle-headquartered ecommerce giant has started handling the shipment of goods from Chinese retailers that sell on its platform to its vast US warehouses.

Previously it left this to global freight-transportation companies.

Amazon is becoming what Standard Oil once was - a vertically and horizontally integrated monopoly. Why isn't the US Department of Justice (sic) preventing this from happening?

Boo-Hoo, Google

Google is upset with one of Trump's executive orders:

“We’re upset about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the US,” Mr. Pichai said in the email. “It’s painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues.”

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-28/google-recalls-offshore-staff-us-after-trump-executive-order

If there is one thing we have learned in the Internet age, it's that you do not have to be physically located somewhere to have a presence. Anything "Googlers and their families" or this so-called "great talent" can do here they can do in their native lands.

By the way, is Google after "great talent" or "cheap workers"?

In case you wondered how Trump can do this, read the following federal statue:

8 US Code § 1182 (f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Source - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182

It may ultimately be determined that this law is unconstitutional, but for now what Trump is doing is completely legal.

By the way, this law was in effect BEFORE Trump took office. Why are the crazies only complaining about it now?

What Do You Think About Voter ID Laws ???

According to some, voter ID requirements are suppressing the vote and harming democracy. Here is one such report:

http://whowhatwhy.org/2017/01/28/voter-id-laws-suppress-vote/

I think this is a bunch of crap, and I'll tell you why.

The same elites who are pushing for open borders and for letting people vote without identifying themselves are ALSO pushing for the abolition of cash, which will REQUIRE that everyone have government issued ID. If they will need it to shop, then they can use it to vote.

Don't let them fool you - they're not worried about suppressing "the" vote, they're only concerned about maximizing THEIR vote.

In Defense Of Trump

Here is a scholarly analysis and defense of Trump's policies by Professor James Petras:

During his inaugural speech, President Trump clearly and forcefully outlined the strategic political-economic policies he will pursue over the next four years. Anti-Trump journalist, editorialists, academics and experts, who appear in the Financial Times, New York Times, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal have repeatedly distorted and lied about the President’s program as well as his critique of existing and past policies.

We will begin by seriously discussing President Trump’s critique of the contemporary political economy and proceed to elaborate on his alternatives and its weaknesses.

Isn't it about time we recognize that Trump's xenophobia may be identical to Israel's, and that if it is wrong here it also is wrong there? Or is that asking too much?

9/11 started us on the road to becoming just like Israel. If you want to change that, it will take a lot more than just replacing Trump.

Safe Zones For Drug Users ???

Seattle is creating "safe zones" for drug users to inject illegal drugs. You can read about it here (subscription may be required):

Let's see, we have "safe zones" for:

  • Illegal immigrants
  • Offended college students
  • Users of banned drugs

But we don't have safe zones for:

  • Free speech
  • Privacy
  • Freedom from police brutality

This ain't no way to run a country. Follow the law and the constitution, or change them following the prescribed processes.

  • And if there was a reason, then why bring our "enemies" into our country?
  • Why did people vote for the war criminals who destroyed these countries (e.g., Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary)?
  • And why are we killing people who worship their god for the benefit of other people just so they can worship a different god?

Unless we admit how racist and G-d hating we are, none of this mess is going to get fixed.

Mumps Outbreak In Washington State

Here is a report about mumps in Washington State:

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/01/27/mumps-cases-rise-to-nearly-300-in-washington-state-officials-report.html

Note well it says NOTHING about the source of the outbreak.

Here is what the CDC says about mumps:

Mumps is no longer very common in the United States, but outbreaks continue to occur. Outbreaks have most commonly occurred in places where people have had prolonged, close contact with a person who has mumps, such as attending the same class, playing on the same sports team, or living in the same dormitory.

Source - https://www.cdc.gov/mumps/index.html

"Close contact with a person who has mumps", but "mumps is no longer very common in the US". This implies the source is someone who brought it into Washington State from somewhere OUTSIDE the US. Now who could that be?

Here is a list of "sanctuary cities" in Washington State:

  • The following Washington counties do not honor ICE detainers:  Benton, Chelan, Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz, Franklin, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Walla Walla, Whatcom, Yakima.    (Added 10-13-15, Source: 10-8-14 DHS DDO Report)
  • Burien, WA                       (Added 1-26-17 Source: City of Burien Ordinance No. 651)
  • King Co. Council, WA     (Added as a de facto sanctuary on 6-28-09 Source: The Seattle Times; and on 11-9-09 Ordinance passed;10-8-14 DHS DDO Report);
  • Seattle, WA                      (Added 5/30/07; Congressional Research Service)
  • Spokane, WA                   (Added 6-22-15; City Council passed Ordinances C35164 and C-35167)

Source - http://www.ojjpac.org/sanctuary.asp

And according to the The Seattle Times, illegal immigration is up 14% in the state. You can read about it here:

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/our-states-one-of-a-few-where-illegal-immigration-is-up-and-half-is-from-asia/

Now, I'll be the first to admit these numbers do not prove anything in particular. But they do suggest that immigration is a possible source of the mumps virus responsible for this outbreak.

Which would you rather do - continue to expose your children to dangerous vaccines, or have the US government screen people for disease before they are allowed into the country? We used to do this at Ellis Island; what's the reason we cannot do this now?

What You Must Understand About Davos

Here is a muddled essay about the Davos mafia:

http://whowhatwhy.org/2017/01/27/left-right-dont-understand-davos/

I think I understand Davos completely: a few thousand self-appointed rich people are creating a global economy in which they (through their corporations) own everything, while We The People of the world own nothing.

And they want us to think this outcome is inevitable.

In theory, corporations are chartered to serve the public good. In spite of their propaganda, the Davos mafia do NOT serve the public good. They have a self-serving agenda which is turning the rest of us into useless eaters who in their view threaten the health of the planet.

We The People need to take back control of our economies and reestablish the legitimacy of our nation states. And our nation states need to dictate the purpose and direction of the global economy to the Davos mafia, not the other way around. If they will not comply, their corporations should be broken up and their assets seized.

I think what I'm suggesting is that no matter what happens we will have a fascist government. The only real choice is whether the government will be in control of that partnership or whether the corporations will dominate.

Can US Economy Collapse ???

Here's one of the latest "the sky is falling" reports:

Worryingly, there’s been very little consideration of how systemic collapses can happen in another, perhaps more dangerous realm - the industrial supply system that keeps us in everything from medicine to food to cars to, yes, videotape. In 2004, for instance, England closed one single factory, which caused the United States to lose half of its flu vaccine supply.

Barry Lynn of the New America Foundation has been studying industrial supply shocks since 1999, when he noticed that global computer chip production was concentrated in Taiwan. After a severe earthquake in that country, the global computer industry nearly shut down, crashing the stocks of large computer makers. This level of concentration of the production of key components in a globalized economy is a new phenomenon. Lynn’s work points to the highly dangerous side of globalization, the flip side of a hyper-efficient global supply chain. When one link in that chain is broken, there is no fallback.

This points out what should be one of Trump's strongest arguments for what he is doing. We have put ourselves at the mercy of others by allowing such a web of weak supply chains to develop. The US needs to produce such critical components domestically.

And there will be no gain without pain. If we really want to break free from the global aspirations of the Davos mafia, there will be shortages and disruptions until we get our house back in order.

Another Arrogant Bully Builds A Wall

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Hundreds of people are set to gather at the property of a billionaire to peacefully protest what they see as his bullying, dismissive attitude.

No, it’s not President Donald Trump. It’s Facebook CEO (and trendy pick to run for president in 2020) Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg, one of the world’s richest men, spent $100 million to buy 700 acres of land on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, per the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. At the time, Forbes Magazine described the estate as a “secluded” property for Zuckerberg’s family.

Gorby Wakes Up From The Dead

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev penned these words:

The world today is overwhelmed with problems. Policymakers seem to be confused and at a loss.

But no problem is more urgent today than the militarization of politics and the new arms race. Stopping and reversing this ruinous race must be our top priority.

The current situation is too dangerous.

More troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers are being brought to Europe. NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank.

While state budgets are struggling to fund people’s essential social needs, military spending is growing. Money is easily found for sophisticated weapons whose destructive power is comparable to that of the weapons of mass destruction; for submarines whose single salvo is capable of devastating half a continent; for missile defense systems that undermine strategic stability.

^^^^^^^^

President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that one of the main freedoms is freedom from fear. Today, the burden of fear and the stress of bearing it is felt by millions of people, and the main reason for it is militarism, armed conflicts, the arms race, and the nuclear Sword of Damocles. Ridding the world of this fear means making people freer. This should become a common goal. Many other problems would then be easier to resolve.

The time to decide and act is now.

Dear Gorby: The US government has been taken over by a military junta. The 9/11 attacks put them in power, and it may take another war before the US people wake up and throw them out of power permanently.

Hopefully we won't all be killed in the meantime.

What's Wrong With US Schools, In A Nutshell

In the vast majority of US public schools, students are arrested for disruptive or violent behavior, even for minor infractions such as having squirt guns and paper airplanes. You can read about it here:

And yet here is a teacher encouraging disrespect and violent behavior towards the Chief Executive of the United States:

Stop using our schools for political purposes and mind control !!!

And please find this person a different job.

Another UFO Buzzes The ISS ???

Talk a look at this video and decide for yourself:

http://www.independent.ie/world-news/video/nasa-cuts-live-feed-from-international-space-station-after-mysterious-object-appears-on-camera-35400275.html

If UFO aliens do contact "our" leaders, I'm certain we will be sold to them for food.

That would be a great way to cull the human herd, wouldn't it?

Media Lies About State Department

Perhaps you have heard this claim:

“It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” said David Wade, who served as State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry.

Apparently these guys have poor memories. When Bill Clinton was sworn in he fired every single US attorney. I think that would be the "single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory" in our government in our lifetime - and it was brought to you by a Democrat.

Stop lying about Trump.

CDC Knowingly Lied About Vaccines

Finally it’s coming to light and the fact is being told: Vaccines given to infants contained inordinate amounts of ethylmercury in the form of Thimerosal; the CDC knew about it and conspired to keep the devastating reality of mercury damage from healthcare consumers and public health agencies. A true crime against humanity and nothing short of federal agency child abuse!

Thanks to the intrepid vaccine safety advocacy work by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his writing partner Lyn Redwood, RN, MSN, we learn,

FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) was responsible for adding up the cumulative exposure to mercury from infant vaccines, a simple calculation that, astonishingly, had never been performed by either the FDA or the CDC. When the agency finally performed that basic calculation, the regulators realized that a six month-old infant who received thimerosal-preserved vaccines following the recommended CDC vaccine schedule would have received a jaw dropping 187.5 micrograms of mercury.

If this is true, I'm in favor of jail time for all the culprits.

What Snowden Tells Us About Torture And Other Things

Yesterday I finally watched the "Snowden" movie, on DVD. I liked it.

I have the following comments about Snowden:

  • In spite of alleged "reforms", I suspect the US still spies on anyone they want, for many reasons, or for no reason at all. That's not going to change.
  • In spite of the fact most activities shown in the movie were (and still are) illegal and/or unconstitutional, the number of whistle blowers continues to be extremely small. Legions of CIA and NSA employees and contractors continue to do what they're told.
  • Snowden is not going to be pardoned, and he would be a fool to come back. He is now a pawn in the new US-Russia cold war, and a very important one at that.

Now that Trump is talking about bringing torture back (as if it ever left), the MSM is peddling fairy tails again, such as these two whoppers:

“There would surely be Justice Department lawyers who would resign in protest over the adoption of such a memo.”

and

“They can try to change the laws to bring back torture, but in doing so they'll face massive resistance among our military, intelligence, and law-enforcement communities.”

Source - https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/trump-torture/514463/

That's ludicrous. No one in those communities is either resigning or resisting. The US killing machine is running in automatic, as revealed here, and will continue to do so:

http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2017/01/us-drone-killing-machine-is-on-autopilot.html

If they're not bothered by spying or killing, why should we think torture would tip the scales for them?

There are two basic facts which normally are being left out of such discussions:

*Fact #1 - The US Constitution was suspended on 9/11/2001. The state of emergency which was declared in response to the 9/11 "attacks" has been renewed annually ever since then. It's pointless to talk about what the US Constitution does or does not allow, because the government is not really following it any more.

*Fact #2 - Our beliefs about the efficacy of torture are clouded by events during the Korean War and Vietnam War that our leaders want us to forget. And that's because those events seem to prove that torture DOES work. It is possible to get unwilling people to reveal true facts under duress. Here are two examples:

(a) During the Korean War, captured US flyers confessed to dropping biological weapons on North Korea and China. And by most believable accounts, they actually had used bioweapons. You can read about the circumstances here:

http://dissidentvoice.org/2013/04/lies-from-the-korean-war-and-why-they-still-matter/

(b) During the Vietnam War, Senator John McCain, who at the time was a captured US Navy pilot, broke under torture, gave his captors vital information, and consented to make propaganda broadcasts for them. You can read about it here:

https://www.oathkeepers.org/breaking-news-john-mccains-1969-tokyo-rose-propaganda-recording-released/

These events leave us with two alternatives - either torture DOES work, or all these men were traitors who told the truth without even being tortured.

In deciding which of these alternatives is the correct one, keep in mind that the US response to Korean and Vietnamese torture of our military was to devise programs which help captives resist telling the truth. Would this be necessary if torture didn't work?

No, I suspect the US flyers in the Korean and Vietnam Wars did in fact commit the war crimes to which they confessed, and the US government continues to spin the yarn that torture does not work because they don't want us to know about the crimes our military leaders order their men and women to commit.

By the way, for a completely different take on Snowden, check out this essay by Arthur Silber. If Snowden actually is a "state-sponsored leaker/whistle blower", that might help explain why Congress and the intel communities are so fixated on the Russian "hacks". If Snowden was sent or forced in the direction he took, was it done in furtherance of the new Cold War? Should you doubt this possibility, then consider how complex and lengthy the Lee Harvey Oswald operation was. Someone steered him around for years before his operation bore fruit:

How Do You Feel About Sanctuary Cities ???

I live on the outskirts of a "sanctuary city" (Austin, TX). So far I have not noticed any personal impact from its adoption of that practice.

Now comes Trump, who will cut off their federal funding. You can read about it here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/nyregion/outraged-mayors-vow-to-defy-trumps-immigration-order.html

And it also appears that Governor Greg Abbott is going after sheriffs who don't cooperate with immigration officials. You can read about it here:

http://www.statesman.com/news/local/abbott-seek-law-remove-texas-sheriffs-who-don-help-immigration-officials/B3KdvqZqi8XclXg7VvKg9I/

The "sanctuary" movement seems to have similarities with the anti-slavery movement prior to the US Civil War and its "underground railroad". Chief among these are the reasons people were seeking sanctuary in the first place (i.e., the impact of NAFTA on Mexico is the modern equivalent of slavery).

So if we are the cause, doesn't it make sense that we also should be the cure?

With that in mind, consider the outcome of the anti-slavery movement - slavery was officially abolished, but its affects are still with us today. Why? Because we never addressed them, not then and not now.

I suspect the same thing is going to happen again. We'll muddle through and "fix" the current crisis, but we will not address the root causes of the problem - (1) globalism, (2) "free trade" policies, and (3) our rapacious lifestyle. Trump is attacking (1) and (2), but only We The People can address (3). And I don't think we will, not unless we're forced to.

This is a global problem with common causes everywhere. A return to nationalism, which I personally favor, is not likely to succeed. There are too many powerful forces against it, and it ultimately condemns billions of people to starvation.

So what now?

Taming The "Entitlement Bogeyman"

Former US Budget Director David Stockman published this graphic on his "Contra Corner" website today:



Dear Dave: There is an obvious solution - have the US Treasury issue constitutional money and stop paying interest on the debt. Why are we borrowing money when we can mint it?

If you need help understanding this concept, get in touch with Ellen Brown. Her blog can be found here:

What's more important, the "health" of robber banks or the health of our citizens?

Does A Measles Virus Actually Exist ???

Not according to this report:

By prophylactic vaccination of adults and especially children against measles, the pharmaceutical industry has earned Billions over a 40-year period. The judges at the German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) confirmed in a recent ruling that measles virus do not exist though. Furthermore: There is not a single scientific study in the world which could prove the existence of such virus so far. This raises the question of what was actually injected into millions of German citizens over the past decades. According to the judgment by the Supreme Court, it may not have been a vaccine against measles.
