US Still Torturing

US interrogators are present in UAE prisons in Yemen, the Daily Beast has revealed today, providing shocking evidence that the American military is a witness to the torture of Yemenis.

In a series of interviews, two former detainees have testified to being interrogated by men with American accents, who looked on as they were beaten and electrocuted.

“They would strip me naked, they would beat me very harshly and slowly you start to understand the dynamics in the room. These are the two people, one of them is overseeing the whole interrogation and the other is doing the questioning and ordering the torture,” a Yemeni man identified only as Salvatore said, suggesting that the US was more than an unwilling observer.

In December, the Pentagon formally acknowledged for the first time that US military personnel operate in the Yemen prisons: “US forces do not conduct detention operations in Yemen; rather, US forces conduct intelligence interrogations of detainees held in partner custody,” the Pentagon reported.

This is the same thing Catholic nuns said after they were raped in Central America at the direction of US personnel.

This is the same thing Iraqis said after they were tortured at the direction of US personnel.

Why do we do this, and why do we lie about it? Is the America trajectory divine or demonic?

Thought For The Day - 1/31/2019

'Surveillance capitalism is no more limited to advertising than mass production was limited to the fabrication of the Ford Model T. It quickly became the default model for capital accumulation in Silicon Valley, embraced by nearly every startup and app. And it was a Google executive – Sheryl Sandberg – who played the role of Typhoid Mary, bringing surveillance capitalism from Google to Facebook, when she signed on as Mark Zuckerberg’s number two in 2008. By now it’s no longer restricted to individual companies or even to the internet sector. It has spread across a wide range of products, services, and economic sectors, including insurance, retail, healthcare, finance, entertainment, education, transportation, and more, birthing whole new ecosystems of suppliers, producers, customers, market-makers, and market players. Nearly every product or service that begins with the word “smart” or “personalised”, every internet-enabled device, every “digital assistant”, is simply a supply-chain interface for the unobstructed flow of behavioural data on its way to predicting our futures in a surveillance economy.'

If I Had A Hammer

If you need a hammer for any reason, the United Kingdom’s counter-terrorism policing unit will consider you a potential terrorist. They are also asking that anyone who sees someone doing something suspicious, like purchasing a hammer, to report it to the enforcers.

Buying a hammer is suspicious and is potentially an indicator of criminal activity according to ... the U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing office.

Vegas Vs. Sandy Hook

After a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School seven years ago, the FBI released 1,500 pages of documents from its investigation.

Its report on the 2017 massacre in Las Vegas was just three pages.

The brevity prompted disbelief and outrage from survivors and relatives of victims. Even President Donald Trump said he was disappointed and surprised, though he said he understood the FBI had not determined a motive in the Vegas shooting.

I'm not at all surprised.

In the Sandy Hook case, the FBI manipulated a real sob story for the benefit of the anti-gun agenda - assault rifle kills school childen; while in the Vegas case, it appeared to be just one member of the "basket of deplorables" killing other deplorables.

I don't think the real story of either event will ever be told. And if it is, it won't be the MSM who tells it. They're too heavily invested in the BS "official" narratives.

AOC's Undoing ???

A video released on Twitter Wednesday shows Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (AOC) activist group, the Democratic Socialists of America, voting to adopt the Boycott, Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The 2017 video was found and shared by Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra and depicts an audience raising their hands following the carrying of a pro-BDS motion and chanting, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Self-Aware Robots = End Of Humanity

The rise of “self-aware” robots has come a major step closer following the invention of a machine capable of thinking for itself from scratch, scientists have said.

Engineers at Columbia University claim to have smashed one of the biggest barriers in the field of robotics after a mechanical arm, which had not been programmed with any instructions, began performing practical tasks after just a few hours.

The team said this is the first time a robot has shown the ability to “imagine itself”, thereby working out what its purpose is and how to perform it.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/robot-thinks-itself-scratch-brings-190000563.html

Once the robot works out its own purpose and how to perform it, what is to keep it from deciding that its purpose is to kill humans? After all, it will have everything it needs to make such a determination.

We ought to be asking ourselves why WE decided that one of our purposes was to kill each other and why we then paid scientists and engineers lots of money to figure out how best to do it.

Jeez !!! Haven't we learned ANYTHING ???

Secret US Courts = Tyranny

According to this report, a judge has refused to allow Julian Assange to learn about the charges against him:

https://consortiumnews.com/2019/01/31/judge-denies-request-to-unseal-assange-criminal-complaint-sayng-there-is-no-proof-it-exists/

Dear Judge Leonie - Haven't you ever read these words?

US Constitution, 6th Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

I suppose your rationale for denying Julian's request is that secret courts are under no obligation to reveal their "charges" or their "evidence", right?

Doesn't this entire situation strongly suggest the US has become a corrupt, tyrannical, military dictatorship?

The Reality In Central America

Here is an important observation from Heather Gies:

"Journalist and author Dawn Paley reported two years ago that the Alliance for Prosperity, proposed as a solution to the increase in unaccompanied Central American children arriving in the United States, was likely to deepen the refugee crisis because it proposed the same kinds of corporate projects and militarized security that community leaders in the region were fighting to stop. 'Far from improving the situation, four years on, we see increased social and environmental conflict, increased militarization, increased polarization, increased poverty and an ongoing mass exodus,' she tells In These Times of the Alliance for Prosperity."

A New Obama - In Venezuela ???

While Guaidó seemed to have materialized out of nowhere, he was, in fact, the product of more than a decade of assiduous grooming by the US government’s elite regime change factories. Alongside a cadre of right-wing student activists, Guaidó was cultivated to undermine Venezuela’s socialist-oriented government, destabilize the country, and one day seize power. Though he has been a minor figure in Venezuelan politics, he had spent years quietly demonstrated his worthiness in Washington’s halls of power.

“Juan Guaidó is a character that has been created for this circumstance,” Marco Teruggi, an Argentinian sociologist and leading chronicler of Venezuelan politics, told the Grayzone. “It’s the logic of a laboratory – Guaidó is like a mixture of several elements that create a character who, in all honesty, oscillates between laughable and worrying.”

No Motive For Vegas Shooting ???

Apparently "a panel of experts" could not determine why the Vegas massacre occurred:

https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/fbi-las-vegas-gunman-sought-infamy-influenced-by-fathers-memory-1584677/

• Lee Harvey Oswald had no motive (he wasn't even the shooter)
• Sirhan Sirhan had no motive (he wasn't even the shooter)
• James Earl Ray had no motive (he wasn't even the shooter)

So ... we pay billions for "security", endure groping at airports, and have lost most of our privacy rights for nothing? Still the attacks occur, and nobody knows why?

What a fine kettle of fish.

I predicted something like this in my 2015 book No More Patriots:

WE MUST PUNISH THE HATE CRIME OF PATRIOTISM

On June 14

The Campaign for Global Peace and Harmony invites you to bring your children to Fort McHenry on Flag Day to hear the President of the United States encourage the participants in a purification ritual to embrace the new salvation.

Desired transformation: The flag which once meant salvation will now represent destruction.

Rationale: The most fundamental and pervasive form of extremism is patriotism, and its chief symbol is the national flag. By redefining patriotism as a hate crime and extinguishing the symbolic power of the flag, this phase of the campaign will have an effect similar to the denazification effort in Germany following World War Two.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

But what was patriotism anyway? Most dictionaries defined it as some variation of love for or devotion to one’s country. Certainly there was nothing wrong with loving one’s country, but the manner in which this type of “love” often manifested itself had become a real conundrum. Its ultimate expression was to voluntarily join the military, learn the arts and sciences of war, journey to foreign lands, and gleefully kill or maim the people who lived there and destroy their homes chiefly because they loved their country as much as you loved yours.

In reality patriotism was a hate crime, pure and simple.

According to the US Department of Justice, hate crime was the violence of intolerance and bigotry, intended to hurt and intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious, sexual orientation, or disability. The purveyors of hate used explosives, arson, weapons, vandalism, physical violence, and verbal threats of violence to instill fear in their victims. This was precisely what “patriotic” warriors did, and their victims were chosen chiefly because of their national origin. Other motivations were often given as excuses for patriotic behavior (e.g., national security or “they attacked us first”), but the underlying reason for this particular hate crime was simply that the victims lived in another country and didn’t look, think, or act like us.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

It didn't take much effort in the past to persuade us that the US concepts of "freedom" and "patriotism" were worth fighting and dying for. And so far it hasn't taken much effort to persuade today's children that they're not.

We're witnessing today something similar to what happened during the Russian revolution in 1917, when a small band (the Bolsheviks) seized control of the newspapers and used them to vilify the Czarist regime. Today that seizure has been done on a vast scale by the corporate MSM, and they are doing everything in their power to vilify the Trump regime and those who want to "make America great again".

It won't be long until EVERYTHING the US once stood for is turned on its head and tossed to the curb. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Quotes For 1/29/2019

"We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things."

Ben Stein

I happen to agree with him. However, he also said this:

"Making money is one of the most of harmless things there is to do in the whole world."

That, Ben, is the key myth which has always been perpetuated by the rich. The real situation with regards to money is more like this:

For the love of money is the root of all evil

1 Timothy 6:10 KJV

I don't think Rep. AO-C wants to send us to concentration camps, but there are a whole lot of people out there who clearly do.

US Making Nuclear War More Likely ???

The US has begun making a new, low-yield nuclear warhead for its Trident missiles that arms control advocates warn could lower the threshold for a nuclear conflict.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced in an email it had started manufacturing the weapon at its Pantex nuclear weapons plant in Texas, as ordered by Donald Trump’s nuclear posture review (NPR) last year.

The NNSA said the first of the new warheads had come off the production line and that it was on schedule to deliver the first batch – an unspecified number referred to as “initial operational capability” – before the end of September, according to the email, first sent in response to an enquiry from Exchange Monitor, which covers the nuclear weapons complex.

The new weapon, the W76-2, is a modification of the existing Trident warhead. Stephen Young, a senior Washington representative of the Union of Concerned Scientists, said its yield had most likely been cut by taking away one stage from the original two-stage, W76 thermonuclear device.

I have written about a related issue before (super-fuzing):

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2017/05/super-fuzing-our-way-to-first-strike.html

Apparently they have made our weapons more accurate, so that now each warhead can be smaller, there can be more of them, and we'll possibly be more likely to use them.

Congress has two choices - either go along with this insanity, or stop it now before it's too late. Apparently they have chosen the former.

G-d help us.

Time To Break The Silence On Palestine

Here is a very provocative essay by Michelle Alexander:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/opinion/sunday/martin-luther-king-palestine-israel.html

Powerful forces supported the Vietnam War, and they made certain it lasted as long as possible. For them Dr. King was merely a speed bump whom they dispatched using the patsy du jour.

Similar powerful forces support everything Israel has been doing, and they will make certain that no one gets in their way. Doing anything meaningful for the Palestinians would require a sea change in politics and world governance. Do you think such a thing can happen?

I don't. "Our" government is no longer democratic or sovereign, and We the People do not have the means to effect such a change.

By the way, I would be HAPPY to be proven wrong on this, but I truly doubt that I will.

America's Power Elite

From Gary Brumback:

America’s power elite are a tiny but very mighty fraction of America’s total population. The power elite belongs to America’s corpocracy, the “Devil’s” marriage between corporate America and government America, with the former firmly in the driver’s seat.

The primary aims of the power elite are to monopolize the world’s dwindling resources by whatever means necessary, usually by force, and to control all peoples’ and nations’ way of life and their conditions of life.

https://dissidentvoice.org/2019/01/americas-power-elite-and-their-false-facts/

What he calls "corpocracy" is in fact FASCISM. And the MSM is in complete alignment with the primary aims of the power elite.

When Trump calls the media "enemy of the people" he is more right than wrong. While it's true that a free press is a FRIEND of the people, we have no such thing in the USA. The MSM are shills and whores for corporate and military interests which are mostly the exact opposite of what is good for us.

Yes, It Was Hillary's Fault

Revelations from John Solomon:

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s what Hillary Clinton’s machine did in 2016, eventually getting the FBI to bite on an uncorroborated narrative that Donald Trump and Russia were trying to hijack the presidential election.

Between July and October 2016, Clinton-connected lawyers, emissaries and apologists made more than a half-dozen overtures to U.S. officials, each tapping a political connection to get suspect evidence into FBI counterintelligence agents’ hands, according to internal documents and testimonies I reviewed and interviews I conducted.

In each situation, the overture was uninvited. And as the election drew closer, the point of contact moved higher up the FBI chain.

It was, as one of my own FBI sources called it, a “classic case of information saturation” designed to inject political opposition research into a counterintelligence machinery that should have suspected a political dirty trick was underway.

How The MSM Smears People

By now you may have heard of the incident involving Nathan Phillips in which he confronted high school boys from Covington Catholic in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Frankly, it's been difficult to escape.

(1) His friend Leonard Peltier, one of our native American political prisoners, describes Nate in glowing terms as a respected tribal elder:

https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2019/01/peltiers-statement-re-nathan-phillips.html

(2) Some elements of the MSM, on the other hand, tell us that Nate has a shady, criminal past:

Our lives are an open book. Somewhere there is a record of everything we have ever done, both good and bad. Too often, the MSM completely ignores the good and uses the bad to smear people for reasons known only to them.

Bottom line - Nate seems to have succumbed to many of the pitfalls encountered by native Americans living in the USA. Does that make him a bad person? It may seem that way to us, but not to his people. And that is probably all that matters to him.

AO-C And The Photo Fairy

Take a look at the photos in this report:

I don't think I've ever seen anything that weird. Have you?

Pelosi's Power Grab

The current dictator known as Speaker of the House thinks she can prevent the President from delivering his State of the Union address:

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-notifies-pelosi-hes-honoring-invitation-deliver-state-174506041.html

Take a look at what the US Constitution says:

Article II, Section 3
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient ...

Does that sound to you like he has to address them in person? I don't think it does, and in this age of The Internet of Everything there is no reason why he should (other than to conduct a rather meaningless political spectacle). This "information" is intended for the CONGRESS, not the public at large watching on their TV screens.

Dear Donald - Send them a letter or an email. Better yet, hold a video conference. If they don't like it, they can go to hell.

Who Are The Black Israelites ???

According to this report, the latest band of troublemakers in the US believe they are descendants of the ancient Israelites of the Bible:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/01/22/who-are-black-israelites-center-viral-standoff-lincoln-memorial/

News flash - this is not really "news", except perhaps to the ignorant.

Some of the Founding Fathers believed that Native Americans were descended from the lost tribes of Israel (e.g., Elias Boudinot, one of the Presidents of Congress prior to the federal era, wrote the book A Star in the West which investigated that concept).

The "Black Israelites" can believe whatever they want. But in reality, unless and until they are accepted as such by the Chief Rabbi of Israel such beliefs have no more standing than the claim of David Koresh to be the Messiah.

The Chinese Bogeyman

According to this report, China is training to shoot down US satellites:

https://freebeacon.com/national-security/pentagon-chinese-military-units-training-with-asat-missiles/

News flash - we brought this upon ourselves.

And once the OBOR system is in place, China will be able (if she chooses) to use secure landlines to communicate with her trading partners, making the Chinese economy and military less dependent on satellites than is the US.

China will continue to rise no matter what we do. So why not be friends? Do we HAVE to be enemies with EVERYONE ???

US Sponsored Coup In Venezuela ???

On the eve of major planned opposition marches in Venezuela, US Vice President Mike Pence took the opportunity to issue a video message expressing support for the protests, condemning Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as a “dictator” with no claim to power, and backed opposition leader Juan Guiado as the “last vestige of democracy” in the country.

Unsurprisingly, this didn’t go over well with Maduro, who ordered a “total revision” of diplomatic ties with the United States and accused the Trump Administration of trying to orchestrate a coup against him.

Which is probably not an inaccurate assessment. President Trump has been encouraging the Venezuelan military to oust Maduro for months, and the State Department has in recent weeks called for Guiado to immediately remove him from power.

Here we go again - trying to overthrow a democratically elected government in an oil rich nation. And we're still whining about Russian "election interference"?

Bottom line - What has Maduro done that Rep. AO-C doesn't advocate? If you can resolve that dilemma, you'll have a good idea what is happening in DC.

Israel's Willing Executioners

Another of Israel's famous generals wants to be PM:

Running for parliament in the upcoming April vote, former Israeli Army Chief Benny Gantz has steered heavily into his military history, and large numbers of people killed and damage done in the 2014 Gaza War.

One of his videos focuses on aerial footage of a destroyed Gaza neighborhood, bragging that “parts of Gaza were returned to the stone ages,” and bragging the devastation led to “3-5 years of quiet.”

A second video for Gantz shows Palestinians attending funerals with a “kill-counter” prominently displayed, going up to 1,364, the number Israel reports to have killed in 2014. The video concludes “only the strong win.”

Tell me again, why are we still supporting these people? Perhaps this is the reason:

"The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted."

Joe Biden Can Go To Hell

Joe Biden seems to hate white people:

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/joe-biden-white-america-admit-theres-still-systemic-210303933--abc-news-topstories.html

Joe, you will NEVER be president, so please stop licking the boots of the rich folks who want to destroy the USA.

To all of you victims of Joe's campaign of white hatred, take note - "your" government is waging a race war against you. This can only get worse, since most corporations, the MSM, and the so-called intelligentsia appear to be conspiring together to get rid of us (figuratively and perhaps literally). We are nearing the situation faced by the Jews in Germany in 1933 - and we're likely to suffer a similar tragedy.

The 10 Most Destructive Americans

You can find the list, written by Frank Hawkins, and a description of each of the ten here:

I agree with most of them. Do you?

Shut Twitter Down

Twitter appears to be encouraging violence against "conservatives":

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/01/21/twitter-allows-verified-calls-for-violence-against-conservative-high-school-kids/

I don't tweet, and I doubt I ever will. As far as I'm concerned, you can shut them down. Twitter's chief function appears to be giving stupid people near instantaneous access to the audience of the MSM.

Top Risks For 2019

Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

On this anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr., it behooves us to recall his unfinished legacy - the Poor People's Campaign:

https://truthout.org/articles/its-time-to-heed-kings-call-for-the-abolition-of-poverty/

King's untimely death doomed the campaign to failure, and I am one of many who believes he was assassinated by the US government to ensure that failure.

Throughout our blood-soaked past, the powers that be have killed just about anyone who got in their way. Today's assassinations may be bloodless (e.g., the ongoing soft coup against Trump), but don't think for a minute the rich would hesitate to kill again if it became necessary.

NAFTA Slaves Rebelling In Mexico

The strike by 70,000 auto parts workers in Matamoros, Mexico is beginning to affect production at US automobile assembly plants, raising the possibility that auto production across North America could be brought to a standstill.

Face it, corporations have ensured that a "global" economy is here to stay. MAGA is a nice slogan, but an unobtainable goal.

Desecrating Holy Sites ???

A BIBLICAL site where God is claimed to have met Moses is set to bulldozed by Saudi Arabia to make away for a super city, it is feared.

You can read about it @
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/754355/bible-news-christian-mount-sinai-saudi-arabia-neom-super-city-god-moses-ten-commandments

If it were left up to me, this site would be forever cordoned off as a place of reverence. Some things are more important than making a buck (or a riyal).

Total BS From The Davos Crowd

Can you believe this?

Maybe populist political movements don't have as much support as often presumed.

The global public favours cooperation between nations, thinks immigration is a good thing and believes climate scientists, according to a poll of 10,000 people in every region of the world.

The poll was commissioned by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and will be discussed at panels at this year's meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/majority-of-world-population-supports-globalism-survey-finds

That is totally absurd.

There are 7.7 BILLION people in the world. A survey of 10,000 hand picked subjects cannot POSSIBLY reveal what the majority of the world's population wants.

And you'll never convince me that anyone other than the oligarchs, corporate CEOS, and their collaborators in the one percent wants their culture and economy destroyed to become part of a mindless global hive controlled by rich technocrats.

No f-ing way.
