Trump Fu (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/04/13/trump-fu/#more-147997)

Guest Post by The Zman (http://thezman.com/wordpress/)
In the last couple of weeks, it seems that everyone has celebrated and castigated Trump, sometimes on the same day, sometimes by the very same people. Examining the range of opinions on Trump’s presidency so far is like looking through a kaleidoscope. No matter how gently you hold it up to your eye, you see something different than last time you looked through it. In normal times, it is easy to know where everyone stands. The Liberals think the Republican president is Hitler and they think the Democrat is Jesus. The Right adjust accordingly.

With Trump, all of the pundits are standing in the darkness, silhouetted by a wall of light and sound. We can sort of see them moving and we hear noises, but it is hard to know who is saying what about whom. Every once in a while a face from the crowd pops into view and says something good or ill about Trump. One minute Bill Kristol is sneering about Trump and then all of sudden Lindsey Graham is praising Trump. The Alt-Right is one minute hooting about Syria and then praising the new broader push.

It really is exhausting, but it is part of how Trump plays the game. It is a good reminder that traditional metrics are not much use when judging Trump the politician. It’s also why he mowed down the GOP field with a cell phone and a twitter account. It was not that he broke their rules. It was that they wasted a lot of time complaining about Trump breaking their rules. Meanwhile, Trump was out giving voters a reason to support him. It is a classic form of political distraction that Trump has adopted to the modern communication age.

Similarly, Trump is wildly unpredictable, at least he seems unpredictable. That’s a big part of how he plays the game. He wants everyone to think the range of choices for him include some collection of unknown options that no one has yet to consider. That keeps foes on the defensive, making them tentative, even when they have the advantage. By appearing to have no clear strategy and routinely breaking old habits, Trump appears to be a wild man, who is capable of anything. Therefore, there’s no way to plan for him.

The big weapon Trump has in this regard is his willingness to attack unexpectedly. He always looks to attack when everyone is sure it is foolish to do so. He went to the very pro-military state of South Carolina and called John McCain a loser for getting shot down and captured by the Vietnamese. He questioned McCain’s conduct as a prisoner. The media howled about how he went too far, but his opponents suddenly got very nervous as they realized they could never relax around Trump. He could attack at any moment.

Another thing about Trump that makes him an extreme outlier in national politics is that he is not an ideologue. Most of our politicians are quite stupid. All of their intellectual energy is focused on the endless scheming and game playing that is politics. What passes for ideology in American politics is really just a laundry list of policies aimed at buying votes from interest groups. That’s why they sound like robots. They stick to the script, even in the face of a public revolt, because that’s the safe and easy way to do it.

That’s not Trump. He is not married to any policy. In the campaign, he would regularly say something one day and then take it back two days later when it proved to be unpopular. It is safe to assume, for example, that Trump has zero interest in health care. He’ll sign off on anything that is popular with the voters. He’s also willing to dump a bad policy without worrying a bit about being called a hypocrite or inconsistent. Trump is practical about these things. If it does not work, he tosses it aside and moves onto to the next thing.

This will be terribly frustrating for partisans, but Trump is a goal oriented guy. The never ending circus has a point. In the case of the Syrian attack and the blow up with the Russians, it is looking like the point of it all was to play a little domestic politics, but a whole lot of international politics. The way he handled the Chinese leader (http://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-us-china-showdown-mar-lago-how-trump-undercut-xi-20106)last week is looking like a game to get the Chinese to do something about North Korea, in order to save face. The “Crazy Trump” act hurling missiles at Syria is excellent cover.

It’s easy to read way too much into these accounts, but the Chinese are now saying extremely bellicose things to the North Koreans. Bush and Obama used every trick they knew to get the Chinese to address the North Koreans and failed. Suddenly, the Chinese are issuing ultimatums (http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1041998.shtml). It could simply be a coincidence and China has been planning to rid themselves of the Kim family for a while, but it is hard to imagine anything like this happening under the last four presidents. They lacked the boldness to try it.

None of this is to suggest that Trump is going to be good for our team, however you interpret that. It’s just that using the old metrics to assess Trump is a category error. He’s not a regular politician and these are not regular times. No one should have imagined Trump as their white knight. At best, Trump flips over the tables and creates enough chaos to give those outside official Washington a chance to join the fight. Trump the Destroyer of Worlds is going to be exhausting for everyone.


That’s just part of the deal.

Middle East
Trump Said No to Troops in Syria.
His Aides Aren't So Sure. (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-13/trump-said-no-to-troops-in-syria-his-aides-aren-t-so-sure)

April 13, 2017 3:37 PM EDT
( Corrected April 14, 2017 9:04 PM EDT)
By Eli Lake
Listening to his campaign rhetoric, the last thing you would expect Donald Trump to do as president would be to escalate a ground war in the Middle East. He won the Republican nomination last year by campaigning against both George W. Bush's war in Iraq and Barack Obama's war in Libya.

But as Trump's young presidency has shown, many of the candidate's foreign policy positions are not as firmly held (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/trumps-disillusioned-supporters/522336/) as his supporters had hoped. It's not just that Trump struck the Syrian regime after last week's chemical weapons attack on rebels. It's not just his recent reversals on Chinese currency manipulation and the NATO alliance. The president's biggest foreign policy surprise may be yet to come.

Senior White House and administration officials tell me Trump's national security adviser, General H.R. McMaster, has been quietly pressing his colleagues to question the underlying assumptions of a draft war plan against the Islamic State that would maintain only a light U.S. ground troop presence in Syria. McMaster's critics inside the administration say he wants to send tens of thousands of ground troops to the Euphrates River Valley. His supporters insist he is only trying to facilitate a better interagency process to develop Trump's new strategy to defeat the self-described caliphate that controls territory in Iraq and Syria.

U.S. special operations forces and some conventional forces have been in Iraq and Syria since 2014, when Obama reversed course and ordered a new air campaign against the Islamic State. But so far, the U.S. presence on the ground has been much smaller and quieter than more traditional military campaigns, particularly for Syria. It's the difference between boots on the ground and slippers on the ground.

Trump himself has been on different sides of this issue. He promised during his campaign that he would develop a plan to destroy the Islamic State. At times during the campaign he said he favored sending ground troops to Syria to accomplish this task. More recently, Trump told (http://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2017/04/11/trump-exclusive-were-not-going-into-syria.html) Fox Business this week that that would not be his approach to fighting the Syrian regime: "We're not going into Syria," he said.

McMaster himself has found resistance to a more robust ground troop presence in Syria. In two meetings since the end of February of Trump's national security cabinet, known as the principals' committee, Trump's top advisers have failed to reach consensus on the Islamic State strategy. The White House and administration officials say Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford and General Joseph Votel, who is in charge of U.S. Central Command, oppose sending more conventional forces into Syria. Meanwhile, White House senior strategist Stephen Bannon has derided McMaster to his colleagues as trying to start a new Iraq War, according to these sources.

Because Trump's national security cabinet has not reached consensus, the Islamic State war plan is now being debated at the policy coordinating committee, the interagency group hosted at the State Department of subject matter experts that prepares issues for the principals' committee and deputies' committee, after which a question reaches the president's desk for a decision.

The genesis of this debate starts with one of Trump's first actions as president, when he told the Pentagon to develop a strategy to defeat the Islamic State. Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, opposed sending conventional forces into a complicated war zone, where they would be targets of al Qaeda, the Islamic State, Iran and Russia. In Flynn's brief tenure, he supported a deal with Russia to work together against the Islamic State and al Qaeda's Syria affiliate, similar to a bargain Obama's secretary of state, John Kerry's tried and failed to seal with Moscow.

Inside the Pentagon, military leaders favor a more robust version of Obama's strategy against the Islamic State. This has been a combination of airstrikes and special operations forces that train and support local forces. Military leaders favor lifting restrictive rules of engagement for U.S. special operations forces and using more close air support, like attack helicopters, in future operations against the Islamic State capital in Raqqa.

McMaster however is skeptical of this approach. To start, it relies primarily on Syrian Kurdish militias to conquer and hold Arab-majority territory. Jack Keane, a retired four-star Army general who is close to McMaster, acknowledged to me this week that the Kurdish forces have been willing to fight the Islamic State, whereas Arab militias have primarily fought against the Assad regime.

"Our special operations guys believe rightfully so that this was a proven force that could fight," Keane said of the Kurdish fighters. "While this makes sense tactically, it doesn't make sense strategically. Those are Arab lands, and the Arabs are not going to put up with Syrian Kurds retaking Arab lands. Whenever you select a military option, you have got to determine what political end state will this support. Regrettably this option puts us back to the drawing board."

There are other reasons that relying too much on the Kurds in Syria presents problems. The U.S. Air Force relies on Turkey's Incirlik Air Base to launch bombing raids over Islamic State positions in Syria. The Turks consider the Syrian Kurdish forces to be allies of Kurdish separatists within Turkey and have complained that Obama was effectively arming militias with weapons that would be turned on their own government. (Turkey's own president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, cynically declared war on his own Kurdish population in 2016, exacerbating these tensions.)

Keane, who said he was not speaking for McMaster, told me he favored a plan to begin a military operation along the Euphrates River Valley. "A better option is to start the operation in the southeast along the Euphrates River Valley, establish a U.S. base of operations, work with our Sunni Arab coalition partners, who have made repeated offers to help us against the regime and also ISIS. We have turned those down during the Obama administration." Keane added that U.S. conventional forces would be the anchor of that initial push, which he said would most likely require around 10,000 U.S. conventional forces, with an expectation that Arab allies in the region would provide more troops to the U.S.-led effort.

"The president wants to defeat ISIS, he wants to win, what he needs is a U.S.-led conventional coalition ground force that can take Raqqa and clean out the Euphrates River Valley of ISIS all the way to the Iraq border," Keane said. "Handwringing about U.S. ground troops in Syria was a fetish of the Obama administration. Time to look honestly at a winning military strategy."

White House and administration officials familiar with the current debate tell me there is no consensus on how many troops to send to Syria and Iraq. Two sources told me one plan would envision sending up to 50,000 troops. Blogger and conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich wrote (https://medium.com/@Cernovich/h-r-mcmaster-manipulating-intelligence-reports-to-trump-wants-150-000-ground-soldiers-in-syria-83346c433e99) on April 9 that McMaster wanted 150,000 ground troops for Syria, but U.S. officials I spoke with said that number was wildly inflated and no such plan has been under consideration.

In public the tightlipped McMaster has not revealed support for conventional ground forces in Syria. But on Sunday in an interview (http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2017/04/09/exclusive-general-h-r-mcmaster-on-decision-to-strike-syria.html) with Fox News, McMaster gave some insights into his thinking on the broader strategy against the Islamic State. "We are conducting very effective operations alongside our partners in Syria and in Iraq to defeat ISIS, to destroy ISIS and reestablish control of that territory, control of those populations, protect those populations, allow refugees to come back, begin reconstruction," he said.

That's significant. Obama never said the goal of the U.S. intervention in Iraq and Syria was to defeat the Islamic State, let alone to protect the population from the group and begin reconstruction. Those aims are much closer to the goals of George W. Bush's surge strategy for Iraq at the end of his second term, under which U.S. conventional forces embedded with the Iraqi army would "clear, hold and build" areas that once belonged to al Qaeda's franchise.

McMaster himself is no stranger to the surge. As a young colonel serving in Iraq, he was one of the first (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2006/04/10/the-lesson-of-tal-afar) military officers to form a successful alliance with local forces, in Tal Afair, to defeat the predecessor to the Islamic State, al Qaeda in Iraq. During the Iraq War, McMaster became one of the closest advisers to David Petraeus, the four-star general who led the counter-insurgency strategy in Iraq that defeated al Qaeda in Iraq -- and brought about a temporary, uneasy peace there.

That peace unraveled after Obama withdrew all U.S. forces from Iraq at the end of 2011. Obama himself never apologized for that decision, even though he had to send special operations forces back to Iraq in the summer of 2014 after the Islamic State captured Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city. He argued that U.S. forces in Iraq would have been caught up inside a civil war had they stayed.

The cadre of former military advisers to Petraeus took a different view. They argued that America's abandonment of Iraq gave the Shiite majority there a license to pursue a sectarian agenda that provided a political and military opening for the Islamic State. An active U.S. presence in Iraq would have restrained those sectarian forces.

One of those advisers was H.R. McMaster. It's now up to Trump to decide whether to test the Petraeus camp's theory or try to defeat the Islamic State with a light footprint in Syria. Put another way, Trump must decide whether he wants to wage Bush's war or continue Obama's.

Drone footage shows MOAB drop in Afghanistan

Watch: MOAB makes impact
against ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04/14/watch-moab-makes-impact-against-isis-tunnels-in-afghanistan.html)

Video released by the Pentagon on Friday showed the “Mother of all Bombs” plummeting from the sky and exploding in eastern Afghanistan, as military officials said it flattened a cave-and-tunnel complex controlled by the Islamic State terror group.

The Department of Defense released the video Friday, less than a day after it dropped the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) atop the Achin district of Nangarhar province, which is close to the Afghan-Pakistan border. Officials said 39 ISIS fighters were killed.

'MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS' KILLS 36 ISLAMIC STATE MILITANTS, AFGHANISTAN OFFICIALS SAY (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04/14/mother-all-bombs-kills-36-islamic-state-militants-afghanistan-officials-say.html)

In the 30-second video, the 21,000-pound bomb – the largest non-nuclear weapon in the U.S. military arsenal – could be seen dropping before it exploded midair. Smoke quickly rose from the impact zone, which officials said was more than a mile wide.

The U.S. military headquarters in Kabul said in a statement that the bomb was dropped at 7:32 p.m. local time Thursday.

WHAT IS THE MOAB? (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/13/what-is-moab.html)

President Donald Trump, who said he authorized the attack, called it a “very, very successful mission.”

Pentagon officials said Friday that the U.S. commander in Afghanistan who ordered the use of the MOAD didn't need Trump's approval.

Officials said Gen. John Nicholson has standing authority to use the largest non-nuclear bomb ever dropped in combat. He had that authority before Trump took office.

"As losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers, and tunnels to thicken their defense," Nicholson said in a statement on Thursday. "This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against [ISIS]."

The MOAB was first tested in 2003, but hadn’t been used in combat before Thursday.

The MOAB had to be dropped out of the back of a U.S. Air Force C-130 cargo plane due to its massive size.

"We kicked it out the back door," one U.S. official told Fox News.

Ismail Shinwari, the governor of Achin district, said the U.S. attack was carried out in a remote mountainous area with no civilian homes nearby. He said there has been heavy fighting in the area in recent weeks between Afghan forces and ISIS militants.

The strike came just days after a Green Beret was killed fighting ISIS in Nangarhar, however, a U.S. defense official told Fox News the bombing had nothing to do with that casualty.

“It was the right weapon for the right target, and not in retaliation,” the official said.

The U.S. estimates that between 600 to 800 ISIS fighters are present in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated heavily on combating them, while also supporting Afghan forces battling the Taliban.

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt, has called for America to “exit” the Paris Climate Agreement signed by Barack Obama last November.

In an interview with FOX and Friends, Pruitt said that “Paris [agreement] is something that we need to really look at closely. It’s something we need to exit in my opinion.”

“It’s a bad deal for America,” he continued. “It was an America second, third, or fourth kind of approach. China and India had no obligations under the agreement until 2030. We front-loaded all of our costs.”

A Government of Morons (http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/04/15/a-government-of-morons/)

— Paul Craig Roberts
April 15, 2017 | Categories: Articles & Columns
It has become embarrassing to be an American. Our country has had four war criminal presidents in succession. Clinton twice launched military attacks on Serbia, ordering NATO to bomb the former Yugoslavia twice, both in 1995 and in 1999, so that gives Bill two war crimes. George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and attacked provinces of Pakistan and Yemen from the air. That comes to four war crimes for Bush. Obama used NATO to destroy Libya and sent mercenaries to destroy Syria, thereby commiting two war crimes. Trump attacked Syria with US forces, thereby becoming a war criminal early in his regime.

To the extent that the UN participated in these war crimes along with Washington’s European, Canadian and Australian vassals, all are guilty of war crimes. Perhaps the UN itself should be arraigned before the War Crimes Tribunal along with the EU, US, Australia and Canada.

Quite a record. Western Civilization, if civilization it is, is the greatest committer of war crimes in human history.
And there are other crimes—Somalia, and Obama’s coups against Honduras and Ukraine and Washington’s ongoing attempts to overthrow the governments of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Washington wants to overthrow Ecuador in order to grab and torture Julian Assange, the world’s leading democrat.

These war crimes committed by four US presidents caused millions of civilian deaths and injuries and dispossessed and dislocated millions of peoples, who have now arrived as refugees in Europe, UK, US, Canada, and Australia, bringing their problems with them, some of which become problerms for Europeans, such as gang rapes.

What is the reason for all the death and destruction and the flooding of the West with refugees from the West’s naked violence? We don’t know. We are told lies: Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction,” which the US government knew for an absolute fact did not exist. “Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” an obvious, blatant lie. “Iranian nukes,” another blatant lie. The lies about Gaddafi in Libya are so absurd that it is pointless to repeat them.

What were the lies used to justify bombing tribesmen in Pakistan, to bomb a new government in Yemen? No American knows or cares. Why the US violence against Somalia? Again, no Americans knows or cares.

Or the morons saw a movie.

Violence for its own sake. That is what America has become.

Indeed, violence is what America is. There is nothing else there. Violence is the heart of America.

Consider not only the bombings and destruction of countries, but also the endless gratuitous, outrageous police violence against US citizens. If anyone should be disarmed, it is the US police. The police commit more “gun violence” than anyone else, and unlike drug gangs fighting one another for territory, police violence has no other reason than the love of committing violence against other humans. The American police even shoot down 12-year old American kids prior to asking any question, especially if they are black.

Violence is America. America is violence. The moronic liberals blame it on gun owners, but it is always the government that is the source of violence. That is the reason our Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment. It is not gun owners who have destroyed in whole or part eight countries. It is the armed-at-taxpayer-expense US government that commits the violence.

America’s lust for violence is now bringing the Washington morons up against people who can commit violence back: the Russians and Chinese, Iran and North Korea.

Beginning with the Clinton moron every US government has broken or withdrawn from agreements with Russia, agreements that were made in order to reduce tensions and the risk of thermo-nuclear war. Washington initially covered its aggressive steps toward Russia with lies, such as ABM missile sites on Russia’s border are there to protect Europe from (non-existent) Iranian nuclear ICBMs.

The Obama regime still told lies but escalated to false charges against Russia and Russia’s president in order to build tensions between nuclear powers, the antithesis of Ronald Reagan’s policy. Yet moronic liberals love Obama and hate Reagan.

Did you know that Russia is so powerful and the NSA and CIA so weak and helpless that Russia can determine the outcome of US elections? You must know this, because this is all you have heard from the utterly corrupt Democratic Party, the CIA, the FBI, the Amerian whore media, and the morons who listen to CNN, MSNBC, NPR or read the New York Times and Washington Post.

Surely you have heard at least one thousand times that Russia invaded Ukraine; yet Washington’s puppet still sits in Kiev. One doesn’t have to have an IQ above 90 to understand that if Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine would not still be there.

Did you know that the president of Russia, which world polls show is the most respected leader in the world, is, according to Hillary Clinton “the new Hitler”?

Did you know that the most respected leader in the world, Vladimir Putin, is a Mafia don, a thug, a tarantula at the center of a spy web, according to members of the US government who are so stupid that they cannot even spell their own names?

Did you know that Putin, who has refrained from responding aggressively to US provocations, not out of fear, but out of respect for human life, is said to be hellbent on reconstructing the Soviet Empire? Yet, when Putin sent a Russian force against the US and Israeli trained and supplied Georgian army that Washington sent to attack South Ossetia, the Russian Army conquered Georgia in five hours; yet withdrew after teaching the morons the lesson. If Putin wanted to reconstruct the Russian Empire, why didn’t he keep Georgia, a Russian province for 300 years prior to Washington’s breakup of the Russian Empire when the Soviet Union collapsed? Washington was powerless to do anything had Putin declared Georgia to be again part of Russia.

And now we have the embarrassment of Trump’s CIA director, Mike Pompeo, possibly the most stupid person in America. Here we have a moron of the lowest grade. I am not sure there is any IQ there at all. Possibly it reads zero.

This moron, if he qualifies to that level, which I doubt, has accused Julian Assange, the world’s Premier Journalist, the person who more than anyone represents the First Amendment of the US Constitution, of being a demon who sides with dictators and endangers the security of American hegemony with the help of Russia. All because Wilileaks publishes material from official sources revealing the criminal behavior of the US government. Wikileaks doesn’t steal the documents. The documents are leaked to Wikileaks by whistleblowers who cannot tolerate the immorality and lies of the US government.

Anyone who tells the truth is by definition against the United States of America. And the moron Pompeo intends to get them.

When I first read Pompeo’s accusation against Assange, I thought it had to be a joke. The CIA director wants to revoke the First Amendment. But the moron Pompeo actually said it (https://www.rt.com/usa/384667-cia-assange-wikileaks-critisize/).



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnL7c13w4_A

What are we to do, what is the world to do, when we have utter morons as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, as President of the US, as National Security Adviser, as Secretary of Defense, as Secretary of State, as US Ambassador to the UN, as editors of the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, MSNBC? How can there be any intelligence when only morons are in charge?

Stupid is as stupid does. The Chinese government has said that the moronic Americans could attack North Korea at any moment. A large US fleet is heading to North Korea. North Korea apparently now has nuclear weapons. One North Korean nuclear weapon can wipe out the entirety of the US fleet. Why is Washington inviting this outcome? The only possible answer is moronic stupidity.

North Korea is not bothering anyone. Why is Washington picking on North Korea? Does Washington want war with China? In which case, is Washinton kissing off the West Coast of the US? Why does the West Coast support policies that imply the demise of the West Coast of the US? Do the morons on the West Coast think that the US can initiate war with China, or North Korea, without any consequesnces to the West Coast? Are even Amerians this utterly stupid?

China or Russia individually can wipe out the US. Together they can make North America uninhabitalbe until the end of time. Why are the Washington morons provoking powerful nuclear powers? Do the Washington morons think Russia and China will submit to threats?

The answer is: Washington is a collection of morons, people stupid below the meaning of stupid. People so far outside of reality that they imagine that their hubris and arrogance elevates them above reality.

When the first Satan 2 hits Washington, the greatest collection of morons in the world will cease to exist.
The world will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Bring it on! Come on morons, eliminate yourselves! The rest of us cannot wait.

WikiLeaks founder and editor Julian Assange issued an official response after CIA director Mike Pompeo blasted the organization during his first press conference. The back and forth has surprised many as President Trump formerly claimed to love WikiLeaks and the work the organization did. In Pompeo’s April 13, 2017, press conference, he declared WikiLeaks a “hostile intelligence service,” and vowed to stop the organization, as well as Assange. President Trump has yet to publicly comment on Pompeo’s remarks. Trump previously referred to WikiLeaks’ documents that exposed Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s private email conversations as a treasure trove. Assange specifically talked about the First Amendment, freedom of the press, and the threat of tyranny in his response that was shared via Twitter.

Watch CIA Director Mike Pompeo Attack WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning

Pompeo began his speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies by praising the CIA and denying that the agency is rogue. The topic was a discussion on national security (https://www.csis.org/analysis/discussion-national-security-cia-director-mike-pompeo), and Pompeo stated the CIA is open and accountable to U.S. citizens. The claims come as WikiLeaks released Vault 7 that allegedly shows the CIA utilizing viruses to spy through common, everyday electronic equipment. WikiLeaks first published Vault 7 on March 7, 2017, revealing that the CIA can hack everything from cell phones to automobiles and spy on their selected target. You may read more about Vault 7 (https://www.wired.com/2017/03/cia-can-hack-phone-pc-tv-says-wikileaks/), via Wired. Access Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed (https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/) at WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks continues to reveal more documents regarding the alleged CIA’s hacking tools.

In a press release (https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/#PRESS), Assange explained how the CIA’s alleged control over viruses, malware, and the like is, in fact, a cyber weapon used in cyber war.

“There is an extreme proliferation risk in the development of cyber ‘weapons.’ Comparisons can be drawn between the uncontrolled proliferation of such ‘weapons,’ which results from the inability to contain them combined with their high market value, and the global arms trade. But the significance of ‘Year Zero’ goes well beyond the choice between cyberwar and cyberpeace. The disclosure is also exceptional from a political, legal and forensic perspective.”
CIA director Mike Pompeo did not address Vault 7, or the first of its release Year Zero during his scathing remarks about WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and whistleblowers.

It didn’t take long for the internet to return with one of Pompeo’s own tweets where he cited documents from an earlier WikiLeaks dump.


https://get.whotrades.com/u5/photo6CC4/20235502261-0/blogpost.jpeg (https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/852631445369745409/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inquisitr.com%2F4145238%2Fjulian-assange-wikileaks-respond-to-cia-director-mike-pompeo-talks-first-amendment-free-press-and-tyranny%2F)

Not only did Pompeo fail to address Vault 7, but he denied Julian Assange’s stated vision for WikiLeaks and accused him, as well as Edward Snowden, as being whistleblowers for notoriety’s sake. Pompeo stated the following.

“And that’s one of the reasons we at CIA find the celebration of entities like WikiLeaks to be both perplexing and deeply troubling because while we do our best to quietly collect information on those who pose very real threats to our country, individuals such as Julian Assange and Edward Snowden seek to use that information to make a name for themselves. As long as they make a splash, they care nothing about the lives they put at risk or the damage they cause to national security.”
Assange addressed the accusations and expressed that the reason WikiLeaks exists is to prevent governments from abusing their power and to combat tyranny. Assange also addressed other comments made by Pompeo where he specifically called out Assange and referred to him as a narcissist and fraud.

“No, Julian Assange and his kind are not the slightest bit interested in improving civil liberties or enhancing personal freedom. They have pretended America’s First Amendment freedom shield them from justice. They may have believed that, but they’re wrong. Assange is a narcissist who has created nothing of value. He relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. He’s a fraud, a coward hiding behind a screen.”
To these accusations, Assange spoke about the nature of journalism, the importance of a free press in the United States, and that all journalists rely upon sources and people to step forward. Assange also pointed out that WikiLeaks and the CIA are not in the same business. The CIA is an intelligence agency that keeps its findings and actions secret, whereas WikiLeaks is a media organization that distributes information that was hidden from the public to mass audiences. Assange addressed the accusations of being a fraud and a coward.

“As for the CIA’s attempt to demonize a publisher as a fraud and a coward, the public can judge what is fraudulent about an award-winning, decade-long record for publishing the truth and what is cowardly about WikiLeaks standing up to years of authoritarian bullying. Director Pompeo lacks irony when he suggests ‘WikiLeaks should focus its fire on autocratic regimes’ while simultaneously calling for a crackdown on free speech. Director Pompeo has attempted to turn both the facts and the First Amendment on its head and finds himself in the company of Erdogan of Turkey (57,934 documents published by WikiLeaks), Assad of Syria (2.3 million documents) and the Saudi dictatorship (122,609 documents), to name but a few autocratic regimes that have attempted, and failed to censor WikiLeaks.”

In conclusion to his statements, Julian Assange responded with the following warning.

“America’s Founders, with brilliant foresight, understood the absolute necessity for preservation of a free press to foster critical debate about the actions of the government. The alternative is tyranny.”
What do you think about Pompeo’s comments and Julian Assange’s response?

WikiLeaks Issues Response
To CIA Director Mike Pompeo (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/04/14/wikileaks-issues-response-to-cia-director-mike-pompeo/#more-148170)

The feud between Julian Assange
and the CIA is growing.


After being blasted by new CIA Director Mike Pompeo yesterday (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-13/cia-director-accuses-wikileaks-being-non-state-hostile-intelligence-service)as a “hostile non-state intelligence service,” late on Thursday Julian Assange responded on Twitter by trolling the CIA (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-14/assange-responds-cia-director-produced-al-qaeda-isis-iraq-iran-pinochet), the “state non-intelligence agency,” over its own roles in producing “al-Qaeda, ISIS, Iraq, Iran and Pinochet.”

So, one day later, having let tempers cool, Julian Assange – who one month ago released (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-07/wikileaks-hold-press-conference-vault-7-release-8am-eastern)the contents of its “Vault7” exposing the CIA’s hacking exploits around the world in the “largest ever publication of confidential CIA documents” – issued moments ago the following statement (https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/853014677529538560)via the Wikileaks twitter account responding to Mike Pompeo (highlights ours).



In his first speech in office, CIA Director Mike Pompeo rather than focusing on China, North Korea, or the rise of extremism, chose to announce an offensive against WikiLeaks and other publishers. In doing so Director Pompeo characterized WikiLeaks as a “non-state intelligence service”. This absurd definition would have all serious media organizations (with the exception of state owned media) transformed into ‘non-state intelligence services’- with the explicitly stated goal of stripping constitutional protections for publishers.

History shows the danger of allowing the CIA or any intelligence agency, whose very modus operandi includes misdirection and lying, to be the sole arbiter of what is true or what is prudent. Otherwise every day might see a repeat of the many foolish CIA actions which have led to death, displacement, dictatorship and terrorism.

All serious media organizations are in the business of obtaining information by encouraging sources to step forward. The key difference between media and intelligence is that the media is in the business of publishing what it discovers to a wide audience. WikiLeaks is an award winning media organization that is well known for the accuracy and volume of its publications and its millions of readers.

Unsurprisingly it is the strength of WikiLeaks’ publications relating to the CIA’s illegal activities, including its attacks on France’s presidential candidates and political parties and its attempts to infect its allies and consumer products with viruses that has led to Director Pompeo’s claims that its editor Julian Assange “has no First Amendment protections“. These claims are dangerous and should be critically examined.

Director Pompeo’s statement sought not only to threaten Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks, but to definitively subvert the First Amendment and fundamental notions that are intrinsic to American democracy. The First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting free speech and the press; it is not only a right for the publisher. It is a limitation on the executive designed to check authoritarianism and guarantee the public knowledge and debate which is necessary to preserve the democratic ideals on which the idea of America was built.

As for the CIA’s attempts to demonize a publisher as a “fraud” and a “coward”-the public can judge what is fraudulent about an award winning decade-long record for publishing the truth and what is cowardly about WikiLeaks standing up to years of authoritarian bullying. Director Pompeo lacks irony when he suggests “WikiLeaks should focus its fire on autocratic regimes” while simultaneously calling for a crackdown on free speech. Director Pompeo’s has attempted to turn both the facts and the First Amendment on its head and finds himself in the company of Erdogan of Turkey (57,934 documents published by WikiLeaks), Assad of Syria (2.3 million documents) and the Saudi dictatorship (122,609 documents), to name but a few autocratic regimes that have attempted, and failed, to censor WikiLeaks.

Director Pompeo’s speech attempting to stifle speech only serves to underscore why WikiLeaks’ publications are necessary. WikiLeaks will continue to publish true, newsworthy information that contributes to the public debate.

America’s Founders, with brilliant foresight, understood the absolute necessity for preservation of a free press to foster critical debate about the actions of the government. The alternative is tyranny.

While it remains unclear how far the ongoing feud between Wikileaks and the CIA will escalate, a bigger problem for Assange – who recently had a close call with losing his place of exile at the Ecuadorian embassy after the recent presidential election in Ecuador was nearly won by a challenger who had vow to evict the Australian – is that the CIA and Donald Trump appear to have unburned all bridges.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnL7c13w4_A

As Bloomberg reported on Friday (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-14/trump-s-morphed-from-spy-agency-critic-to-fan-cia-s-pompeo-says), “not long ago Donald Trump was describing U.S. “intelligence” agencies in mocking quote marks and comparing them to Nazi Germany for damaging leaks about him. As a presidential candidate, word was he barely wanted to sit still for top-secret briefings. Not anymore, according to Trump’s CIA director.


Mike Pompeo paints a picture of his boss as an enthusiastic consumer of intelligence briefings, including top-secret assessments of threats posed by Syria, Russia and North Korea.

In his first public speech since becoming head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the former Republican House member called the Trump administration’s relationship with the intelligence community “fantastic.” That produced enough surprised twitters that he told his audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, “Don’t laugh. I mean that.”

“They are voracious consumers of the product we develop,” Pompeo, who backed Trump’s presidential campaign last year, said of the president and his top advisers. “We get lots of hard questions about the product and how we developed it and how we sourced it and are we sure.”
The turning point, as was the case with many other Trump policy objectives, appears to have been the decision to launch airstrikes on Syria.


Trump initially rejected the intelligence agencies’ findings that Russia hacked into Democratic emails and leaked them last year to harm Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign and help him win. He continues to dismiss as “fake news” questions about whether anyone close to him collaborated with Russia, and he continues to assert without evidence that former President Barack Obama had Trump Tower under surveillance and leaked damaging information. But Trump’s decision last week to bomb a government airbase in Syria may have brought Trump closer to the intelligence community that now reports to him.

The CIA and the other U.S. intelligence agencies came up with some “hypotheses” about who was responsible for a deadly chemical attack on civilians and, “in relatively short order,” gave Trump “a high-confidence assessment” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was to blame, Pompeo said. “We were good and fast,” Pompeo said. But “I can assure you that we were challenged by the president and his team,” he said. “We wanted to make sure that we had it right and there’s not much like when the president looks at you and says, ‘Pompeo, are you sure?”

The Syria operation is the type of decision that builds bonds of trust between a president and the intelligence agencies he must depend on, said Juan Zarate, a former adviser in the Bush and Obama administrations, who was on Trump’s transition team for the Office of Director of National Intelligence. “All of that requires some faith and confidence in the intelligence being presented to him and the leadership that’s representing those views,” Zarate said in an interview. “There have been moments of maturation — that was a really important one. We’ll see what the trajectory brings, but we’ll look back and say that was an important episode.”
All of which is clearly bad news for Assange who over the past few days has lost one of his key allies in his quest to regain his freedom: recall that it was in January that Trump tweeted (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-04/trump-sides-assange-russians-did-not-give-him-info)“Julian Assange said “a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta” – why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!”

Four months later, at least based on Pompeo’s statement, Trump’s favorable view of Assange appears to be over, in the process making Assange’s future, whether in the London embassy or elsewhere, increasingly unknown, especially after making the “black list” of none other than the head of the CIA, an agency perhaps best known for making its most “problem” adversaries quietly disappear.

Beware the Dogs of War:
Is the American Empire
on the Verge of Collapse? (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46875.htm)

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes… known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." — James MadisonWaging endless wars abroad (in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Syria) isn’t making America—or the rest of the world—any safer, it’s certainly not making America great again, and it’s undeniably digging the U.S. deeper into debt.

In fact, it’s a wonder the economy hasn’t collapsed yet.

Indeed, even if we were to put an end to all of the government’s military meddling and bring all of the troops home today, it would take decades to pay down the price of these wars and get the government’s creditors off our backs. Even then, government spending would have to be slashed dramatically and taxes raised.

You do the math.

April 15/16, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - Waging endless wars abroad (in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Syria) isn’t making America—or the rest of the world—any safer, it’s certainly not making America great again, and it’s undeniably digging the U.S. deeper into debt.

In fact, it’s a wonder the economy hasn’t collapsed yet.

Indeed, even if we were to put an end to all of the government’s military meddling and bring all of the troops home today, it would take decades to pay down the price of these wars and get the government’s creditors off our backs. Even then, government spending would have to be slashed (http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/just-explain-it/just-explain-long-payoff-u-debt-145729149.html) dramatically and taxes raised.

You do the math.

The government is $19 trillion in debt: War spending has ratcheted up the nation’s debt. The debt has now exceeded a staggering $19 trillion (https://www.thebalance.com/the-u-s-debt-and-how-it-got-so-big-3305778) and is growing at an alarming rate of $35 million/hour and $2 billion every 24 hours (http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/just-explain-it/just-explain-long-payoff-u-debt-145729149.html). Yet while defense contractors are getting richer (https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/03/10/10-companies-profiting-most-from-war/1970997/) than their wildest dreams, we’re in hock to foreign nations such as Japan and China (http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/16/investing/china-japan-us-debt-treasuries/)(our two largest foreign holders at $1.13 trillion and $1.12 trillion respectively).

The Pentagon’s annual budget consumes almost 100% of individual income tax revenue (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/3/27/1371191/-Did-You-Know-That-Almost-Every-Penny-Of-Your-Income-Taxes-Goes-To-Defense-Spending). If there is any absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off, especially when it comes to paying the tab for America’s attempts to police the globe. Having been co-opted by greedy defense contractors, corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials, America’s expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $57 million per hour (https://www.nationalpriorities.org/cost-of/).

The government has spent $4.8 trillion on wars abroad since 9/11, with $7.9 trillion in interest: That’s a tax burden of more than $16,000 per American. Almost a quarter of that debt was incurred as a result of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and Syria. For the past 16 years, these wars have been paid for almost entirely by borrowing (http://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/economic) money from foreign nations and the U.S. Treasury. As the Atlantic points out, we’re fighting terrorism with a credit card (https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/09/cost-wars-iraq-afghanistan/499007/). According to the Watson Institute for Public Affairs at Brown University, interest payments on what we’ve already borrowed for these failed wars could total over $7.9 trillion by 2053 (http://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/economic).

The government lost more than $160 billion to waste and fraud by the military and defense contractors: With paid contractors often outnumbering enlisted combat troops, the American war effort dubbed as the “coalition of the willing” has quickly evolved into the “coalition of the billing,” with American taxpayers forced to cough up billions of dollars for cash bribes, luxury bases, a highway to nowhere, faulty equipment, salaries for so-called “ghost soldiers,” and overpriced anything and everything (http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2011/09/contractor-waste-iraq-KBR) associated with the war effort, including a $640 toilet seat and a $7600 coffee pot (https://www.thenation.com/article/only-the-pentagon-could-spend-640-on-a-toilet-seat/).

Taxpayers are being forced to pay $1.4 million per hour (https://www.nationalpriorities.org/cost-of/foreign-military-assistance/)to provide U.S. weapons to countries that can’t afford them. As Mother Jones reports (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/01/iraq-military-win-business-not-war), the Pentagon’s Foreign Military Finance program “opens the way for the US government to pay for weapons for other countries—only to ‘promote world peace,’ of course—using your tax dollars, which are then recycled into the hands of military-industrial-complex corporations.”

The U.S. government spends more on wars (and military occupations) abroad every year than all 50 states combined (http://rare.us/rare-politics/issues/government-run-amok/this-new-map-captures-the-gigantic-size-of-american-military-spending/) spend on health, education, welfare, and safety. In fact, the U.S. spends more on its military than the eight highest-ranking nations with big defense budgets combined (http://www.businessinsider.com/us-military-budget-countries-politics-president-donald-trump-spending-2017-3). The reach of America’s military empire (https://qz.com/374138/these-are-all-the-countries-where-the-us-has-a-military-presence/) includes close to 800 bases in as many as 160 countries (https://www.thenation.com/article/the-united-states-probably-has-more-foreign-military-bases-than-any-other-people-nation-or-empire-in-history/), operated at a cost of more than $156 billion annually. As investigative journalist David Vine reports, “Even US military resorts and recreation areas in places like the Bavarian Alps and Seoul, South Korea, are bases of a kind. Worldwide, the military runs more than 170 golf courses (https://www.thenation.com/article/the-united-states-probably-has-more-foreign-military-bases-than-any-other-people-nation-or-empire-in-history/).”

Now President Trump wants to increase military spending (http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/27/trump-promises-rebuilding-armed-forces/) by $54 billion. Promising “an historic increase in defense spending (http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/03/02/trumps-military-industrial-complex/) to rebuild the depleted military of the United States,” Trump has made it clear where his priorities lie, and it’s not with the American taxpayer. As The Nation reports (https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-goes-all-in-for-the-military-industrial-complex/), “On a planet where Americans account for 4.34 percent of the population, US military spending accounts for 37 percent of the global total (https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-goes-all-in-for-the-military-industrial-complex/).”

Add in the cost of waging war in Syria (with or without congressional approval), and the burden on taxpayers soars to more than $11.5 million a day (http://www.ibtimes.com/how-much-has-syrian-civil-war-cost-russia-us-2336199). Ironically, while presidential candidate Trump was vehemently opposed to the U.S. use of force in Syria (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/seven-lessons-from-trumps-syria-strike/522327/), as well as harboring Syrian refugees (http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/06/15/482184991/fact-check-donald-trump-and-syrian-refugees) within the U.S., he had no problem retaliating against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on behalf of Syrian children killed (http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/07/politics/clinton-trump-syria-refugees/) in a chemical attack. The cost of launching a 59 Tomahawk missile-strike against Syria? It’s estimated that the missiles alone cost $60 million (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-how-much-it-will-cost-to-replace-the-tomahawks-used-in-syria-2017-04-07). Mind you, this is the same man, while campaigning for president, who warned that fighting Syria would signal the start of World War III (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/seven-lessons-from-trumps-syria-strike/522327/) against a united Syria, Russia and Iran. Already oil prices have started to climb (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-oil-idUSKBN17905I) as investors anticipate an extended conflict.

Clearly, war has become a huge money-making venture, and the U.S. government, with its vast military empire, is one of its best buyers and sellers.

Yet what most Americans—brainwashed into believing that patriotism means supporting the war machine—fail to recognize is that these ongoing wars have little to do with keeping the country safe and everything to do with enriching the military industrial complex at taxpayer expense.

The rationale may keep changing for why American military forces are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and now Syria. However, the one that remains constant is that those who run the government—including the current president—are feeding the appetite of the military industrial complex and fattening the bank accounts of its investors.

Case in point: President Trump plans to “beef up” military spending while slashing funding (http://time.com/money/4639544/trump-nea-sesame-street-budget-cut/) for the environment, civil rights protections, the arts, minority-owned businesses, public broadcasting, Amtrak, rural airports and interstates.

In other words, in order to fund this burgeoning military empire that polices the globe, the U.S. government is prepared to bankrupt the nation, jeopardize our servicemen and women, increase the chances of terrorism and blowback domestically, and push the nation that much closer to eventual collapse.

Clearly, our national priorities are in desperate need of an overhauling (http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-0607-lopez-fallingapart-20150606-column.html).

As Los Angeles Times reporter Steve Lopez rightly asks:

Why throw money at defense when everything is falling down around us? (http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-0607-lopez-fallingapart-20150606-column.html) Do we need to spend more money on our military (about $600 billion this year) than the next seven countries combined? Do we need 1.4 million active military personnel and 850,000 reserves when the enemy at the moment — ISIS — numbers in the low tens of thousands? If so, it seems there's something radically wrong with our strategy. Should 55% of the federal government's discretionary spending go to the military and only 3% to transportation when the toll in American lives is far greater from failing infrastructure than from terrorism? Does California need nearly as many active military bases (31, according to militarybases.com) as it has UC and state university campuses (33)? And does the state need more active duty military personnel (168,000, according to Governing magazine) than public elementary school teachers (139,000)?Obviously, there are much better uses for your taxpayer funds than trillions of dollars being wasted on war. The following are just a few ways those hard-earned dollars could be used:
$270 billion to repair U.S. public schools (http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-0607-lopez-fallingapart-20150606-column.html), and twice that much to modernize them.

***
$120 billion a year to fix the nation’s crumbling infrastructure. With 32% of the nation’s major roadways (http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-0607-lopez-fallingapart-20150606-column.html) in poor or mediocre condition, it’s estimated that improving the nation’s roads and bridges would require $120 billion a year through 2020 (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AGING_INFRASTRUCTURE_NO_QUICK_FIX_NYOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-04-09-08-07-41), although it will take “many trillions ... to fix the country's web of roads, bridges, railways, subways and bus stations.”

***
$251 million (https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/afghan) for safety improvements and construction for Amtrak.

***
$690 million (https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/afghan) to care for America’s 70,000 aging veterans

***
$11 billion wasted or lost in Iraq in just one year (http://www.businessinsider.com/military-spending-budget-defense-cuts-2011-10#in-2007-the-amount-of-money-labeled-wasted-or-lost-in-iraq-11-billion-could-pay-220000-teachers-salaries-4) could have paid 220,000 teachers’ salaries.

***
The yearly cost of stationing just one soldier in Iraq could have fed 60 American families (http://www.businessinsider.com/military-spending-budget-defense-cuts-2011-10#the-yearly-cost-of-stationing-one-soldier-in-iraq-could-feed-60-american-families-7).

***
$30 billion per year to end starvation and hunger (http://worldbeyondwar.org/need-2-trillionyear-things-detail/) around the world.

***
$11 billion per year to provide the world—including our own failing cities—with clean drinking water (http://worldbeyondwar.org/need-2-trillionyear-things-detail/).

***
Use the $10 billion spent every year to provide arms, equipment, training and advice internationally to more than 180 countries (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/defense/273011-the-black-hole-of-pentagon-foreign-aid) to start paying down the overwhelming $19 trillion national debt. This figure doesn’t include the hundreds of billions spent each year on maintaining the U.S. military presence around the globe.

As long as “we the people” continue to allow the government to wage its costly, meaningless, endless wars abroad, the American homeland will continue to suffer: our roads will crumble, our bridges will fail, our schools will fall into disrepair, our drinking water will become undrinkable, our communities will destabilize, and crime will rise.

Here’s the kicker, though: if the American economy collapses—and with it the last vestiges of our constitutional republic—it will be the government and its trillion-dollar war budgets that are to blame.

Of course, the government has already anticipated this breakdown.

That’s why the government has transformed America into a war zone, turned the nation into a surveillance state, and labelled “we the people” as enemy combatants.

For years now, the government has worked with the military to prepare for widespread civil unrest (http://rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/coming_soon_to_a_city_near_you_the_u.s._militarys_plan_to_take_over_am) brought about by “economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order (http://www.rawstory.com/news/2008/Report_Military_may_have_to_quell_1229.html), purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters.”

Having spent more than half a century exporting war to foreign lands, profiting from war, and creating a national economy seemingly dependent on the spoils of war, the war hawks long ago turned their profit-driven appetites on us, bringing home the spoils of war—the military tanks, grenade launchers, Kevlar helmets, assault rifles, gas masks, ammunition, battering rams, night vision binoculars, etc.—and handing them over to local police, thereby turning America into a battlefield.

This is how the police state wins and “we the people” lose.

Eventually, however, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People (https://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-America-War-American-People/dp/1590793099/), all military empires fail.

At the height of its power, even the mighty Roman Empire could not stare down a collapsing economy and a burgeoning military. Prolonged periods of war and false economic prosperity largely led to its demise. As historian Chalmers Johnson predicts:

The fate of previous democratic empires suggests that such a conflict is unsustainable and will be resolved in one of two ways. Rome attempted to keep its empire and lost its democracy. Britain chose to remain democratic and in the process let go its empire. Intentionally or not, the people of the United States already are well embarked upon the course of non-democratic empire.
This is the “unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex” that President Dwight Eisenhower warned us more than 50 years ago not to let endanger our liberties or democratic processes. Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, was alarmed by the rise of the profit-driven war machine that emerged following the war—one that, in order to perpetuate itself, would have to keep waging war.

We failed to heed his warning.

Yet as Eisenhower recognized (https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-goes-all-in-for-the-military-industrial-complex/), the consequences of allowing the military-industrial complex to wage war, exhaust our resources and dictate our national priorities are beyond grave:

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
Wake up, America. There’s not much time left before we reach the zero hour.

H-1B Experts on Trump’s Order: ‘This Is What We Elected Him For’ (http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/04/18/h-1b-experts-trumps-order-elected/)

President Donald Trump is getting praise from experts on the H-1B foreign guest worker visa for his ‘Hire American’ Executive Order which calls for a review into the system’s abuse at the expense of American workers.

Although the H-1B visa is only meant to be used by a U.S. company when there are no American workers with the skill-set needed for the job, critics argue the program is riddled with abuse and fraud, leaving Americans to sometimes train their cheaper, foreign replacements before being fired.

Trump’s new executive order targeting abuse by U.S. companies, as Breitbart News reported, calls for the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Labor Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct a “full legal analysis” of all the problems negatively impacting American workers in the H-1B visa system.

H-1B expert and attorney John Miano told Breitbart Texas that Trump’s move on the issue is one that is setting the administration on the right trajectory.

“We’re going to want to see some follow-ups later on,” Miano said in an interview. “But you can’t criticize the president for taking action. This is what we elected him for.”

Miano said the fact that Trump is mentioning the H-1B visa program, an issue that went unaddressed by at least the past two administrations, is “very big.”

Likewise, Sara Blackwell, an attorney who represents Americans who’ve been fired because programs like the H-1B, applauded Trump’s move.

“We hope it’s a beginning of a lot more. I’m hopeful,” Blackwell told Breitbart Texas. “But, I’m extremely happy that President Trump is talking about it and acknowledging there’s a huge problem.”

The legal review by DOJ, the DOL and DHS will include tracking down abuses within the H-1B visa program where more than 85,000 Americans are either replaced or passed over for jobs by foreign nationals.

Experts like NumberUSA’s Rosemary Jenks and the Center for Immigration Studies’ Mark Krikorian both said the multi-agency legal review approach by the Trump Administration is the right way to go about ending the mass discrimination against American workers that currently takes place.

“I do think it’s the right approach to take because [DOJ, Labor Dept. and DHS] have different roles to play,” Jenks told Breitbart Texas. “Abuse is handled by the Labor Department. DHS is the agency that’s setting requirements for admission. And DOJ is prosecuting the abusers. This is definitely the right approach. I hope the administration will continue talking to outside groups.”

“Clearly, by indicating that all three departments have to do a review of the program, the White House is making clear they understand the process,” Krikorian told Breitbart Texas. “The initial clearinghouse is the Department of Labor. A lot of the cheap labor aspects can be addressed by the Labor Department’s regulations and statutes.”

Krikorian said he was glad to see the Trump Administration calling for a broad review into the H-1B visa system, rather than taking smaller, administrative actions.

“At the same time, it’s encouraging that they didn’t just try to change H-1B unilaterally, they understand there’s a lot of moving parts to it,” Krikorian said. “They know a lot of this has to be fixed by Congress.”

Before the Executive Order, the Trump administration worried critics of the H-1B visa after not making any changes to the system before the application process began. For instance, the Trump Administration could have changed the H-1B system from its current state of handing out visas through a random lottery, switching it to a process where the highest-paying jobs are given priority.

Krikorian, though, told Breitbart Texas that the lack of prior change to H-1B was mostly likely not politically driven, but rather the administration simply running out of time on the issue.

Nonetheless, the new executive order has changed the outlook Americans impacted by the H-1B have on the Trump administration, Blackwell said.

“Well the people who are affected by this and know this businesses model were extremely deflated when the H-1B application process started without changes,” Blackwell said. “Now, they’ve gone from hopeless to hopeful.”

Last week, Breitbart Texas exclusively reported how Trump Senior Adviser Stephen Miller held a White House meeting on the H-1B visa issue with longtime critics like Blackwell and Howard University professor Ron Hira.

Comment by Sam:

I have worked in various projects that took me to several other countries in the world. In the few cases where I was required to get a work permit, I and the folks I was working with had to jump through all sorts of hoops to prove I was a specialist with unique qualifications that were essentially un-findable within their local population. What Trump is trying to do here is exactly what most other (if not almost ALL other countries do when a foreigner wants a job in one of those countries). One of the very worst I experienced in dealing with this issue was Canada.

It's what I found also, Sam.
Years ago I thought long & hard how to get myself into Canada.
Through my research I found that you had to have a special skill into order to even be considered for living & working there.

The only other way was to show that you were somewhat independently wealthy, then they would let you buy your way into citizenship. In most other countries you can buy your way into the system. I even had a book that listed the prices that various governments of other countries would accept to become a resident.

As a taxicab driver, I come into contact with various people. This one character that was from Canada told me the best way to get into Canada is to have a mom & pop business - like a small corner store. Living in the U.S. & drive across the border to get to your business & operate it that way for a period of time. During that time, you pay your Canadian taxes. Then after several years, this will provide the evidence that the government wants to see that you will not be a burden on their country.

That's what I found... 'Show me the money'... it is the only other way to enter into Canada, or most other countries, to get to be a legal resident.

The New York Times attempted to take a cheap ideological shot at President Donald Trump by comparing organization attendance by the New England Patriots football team between President Obama and President Trump:

However, the cheap shot attempt backfired against the New York Times when the New England Patriots organization pointed out they were not comparing accurate attendance.

In the 2015 picture the support staff were on the stairs, in the 2017 picture the staff were seated in the audience.

Judicial Watch Sues State Department
and USAID for Records about Funding and
Political Activities of George Soros’
Open Society Foundation – Macedonia (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-sues-state-department-usaid-records-funding-political-activities-george-soros-open-society-foundation-macedonia/)

By Judicial Watch
Published April 19, 2017

USAID website reports it gave $4,819,125 in taxpayer money to Soros’s Open Society Foundation – Macedonia between from 2012 to 2016

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for records and communications relating to the funding and political activities of the Open Society Foundation – Macedonia. The Macedonia organization, part of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/about), received nearly $5 million from USAID from 2012 to 2016. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-usaid-complaint-00729/) (No. 1:17-cv-00729)).

The suit was filed after both the U.S. Department of State and USAID failed to respond to a February 16, 2017, FOIA request seeking:


All records related to any grants, contracts, or disbursements of funds by the Department of State to the Open Society Foundation – Macedonia and/or any of the Foundation’s subsidiaries. This request includes all related requests for funding, payment authorizations, or similar records, as well as all related records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of State and any official, employee, or representative of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).



Any records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of State and any officer, employee, or representative of the Open Society Foundation -Macedonia and/or any of the Foundation’s affiliated organizations. This request includes responsive records of communication sent from or directed to U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia Jess L. Baily.



All analyses or similar records regarding the political activities of the Open Society Foundation -Macedonia and/or any of the Foundation’s affiliated organizations.



All messages transmitted via the State Department’s SMART system sent from any U.S. Government employee or contractor operating under the Chief of Mission’s authority at the U.S. Embassy in Skopje that pertain to the Open Society Foundation – Macedonia and/or any of the Foundation’s affiliated organizations.


The USAID website (https://www.usaid.gov/macedonia/fact-sheets/civil-society-project-csp) reports that between February 27, 2012, and August 31, 2016, USAID gave $4,819,125 in taxpayer money to Soros’s Open Society Foundation – Macedonia (FOSM), in partnership with four local civil society organizations. The USAID’s website links to www.soros.org.mk, and says the project trained hundreds of young Macedonians “on topics such as freedom of association, youth policies, citizen initiatives, persuasive argumentation and use of new media.”

In February, Judicial Watch reported (http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2017/02/u-s-gives-soros-groups-millions-destabilize-macedonias-conservative-govt/):

The U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding with leftwing billionaire philanthropist George Soros, records obtained by Judicial Watch show. Barack Obama’s U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, Jess L. Baily (https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/237885.htm), has worked behind the scenes with Soros’ Open Society Foundation to funnel large sums of American dollars for the cause, constituting an interference of the U.S. Ambassador in domestic political affairs in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.


***

Here’s how the clandestine operation functions, according to high-level sources in Macedonia and the U.S. that have provided Judicial Watch with records as part of an ongoing investigation. The Open Society Foundation has established and funded dozens of leftwing, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Macedonia to overthrow the conservative government. One Macedonian government official interviewed by Judicial Watch in Washington D.C. recently, calls it the “Soros infantry.” The groups organize youth movements, create influential media outlets and organize violent protests to undermine the institutions and policies implemented by the government. One of the Soros’ groups funded the translation and publication of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” into Macedonian. The book is a tactical manual of subversion, provides direct advice for radical street protests and proclaims Lucifer to be the first radical. Thanks to Obama’s ambassador, who has not been replaced by President Trump, Uncle Sam keeps the money flowing so the groups can continue operating and recruiting, sources in Macedonia and the U.S. confirm.

According to InsidePhilanthropy.com (https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/2015/9/14/philanthropy-vs-tyranny-inside-the-open-society-foundations.html), Soros’ Open Society Foundation “may be the largest philanthropic organization ever built, with branches in 37 countries. While the Gates Foundation spends more money, OSF has a larger footprint worldwide thanks to its many local offices, including throughout Africa.” OSF’s budget will be around $930 million …”

The activities of Ambassador Bailey and USAID’s funding of the Open Society Foundation have recently come under Congressional scrutiny. On January 17, 2017, Senator Mike Lee (https://www.lee.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=09FD00EC-5CA9-4FD4-8A18-03EE674A592A) (R-UT) sent a letter to Baily asking him to explain the State Department’s relationship with Open Society Foundation. On February 24, 2017, Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), and others called on (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/02/27/congressmen-call-for-probe-into-macedonian-soros-involvement/) the Government Accountability Office to conduct an investigation and audit of the Department of State and USAID’s activities in Macedonia, including funding of Open Society Foundation entities and potential interference in domestic Macedonian political affairs in potential violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

“The Obama administration seemed to bust taxpayer budgets in an effort to fund the Soros operation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Trump State Department and USAID should get their act together and disclose the details of the Obama-Soros spigot.”

Facebook shuts down
pro Le Pen posts as
French election nears (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/04/16/facebook-shuts-down-pro-le-pen-posts-as-french-election-nears/)

Apr16 (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/04/16/facebook-shuts-down-pro-le-pen-posts-as-french-election-nears/) by Jon Rappoport (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/author/jonrappoport/)
April 16, 2017
Well, sure. Wouldn’t you?

The woman is running for the presidency of France. She wants to reverse the tide of immigration in her country, so she must be a racist, and whatever she says or whatever anyone else says in support of her is, automatically, fake news, mindless, evil, and the population must be protected from that infection. This is how free speech works. It’s free unless it could do harm, unless certain minds might be taken in by it, and apparently Facebook is stepping up to the plate. Mark Zuckerberg is long overdue for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Zero Hedge (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-14/facebook-scrambles-shut-down-pro-le-pen-accounts-election):

“The first round of French elections will be held on April 23rd, prompting Facebook to shut down pro Le Pen accounts, which they deem to be ‘fake’.”

“In addition to outright bans, the company [Facebook], in conjunction with French media, are running ‘fact checking’ programs — designed to fight ‘fake news’, heightening their efforts around the elections — which spans from 4/23-5/7.”

France must be purified. Only then can media function.

Immigration, you have to understand, isn’t an issue. There is nothing to debate. Immigration is a fact, wholly beautiful, and anyone who wants to limit it is speaking against love, flowers, and the proposition that the sun rises every morning.

Facebook is providing a public service. Just as Mussolini made the trains run on time in Italy, FB is making the news run on time—the real news.

Fake news should be shut down. Free speech only concerns what isn’t fake. Yes, I’m beginning to see the light.

After fake news is purged, then we can have free speech.

Aha. Yes.

Somehow, I must have missed this when I studied the 1st Amendment. James Madison, who wrote it, made this note: “Except for fake news.”

The guiding principle should be: if you’re not sure whether an item or issue or report is fake, don’t talk about it, don’t write about it, don’t express an opinion about it, until the authorities have cleared things up, until they’ve decided whether it’s fake or real.

Mark Zuckerberg is providing us with an easy way to check. If he and his people censor a post, it’s fake. Ignore it. Remain silent.

And if you’re French, don’t vote for Le Pen, unless you want a faker as your president.

Things are basically simple. They really are. If you know how to follow the signs and the warnings and the people in charge.

For example, right now I can sense an errant thought creeping into my mind: a corporation based in the US is colluding with the French government to influence an election in France. But I reject that thought. I denounce it. I urge everyone to denounce it. Pretend I never uttered the thought.

Please. I beg of you.
It’s fake.

Presidential Executive Order
on Identifying and Reducing
Tax Regulatory Burdens (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/04/21/presidential-executive-order-identifying-and-reducing-tax-regulatory)


EXECUTIVE ORDER

- - - - - - -

IDENTIFYING AND REDUCING TAX REGULATORY BURDENS


By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. The Federal tax system should be simple, fair, efficient, and pro-growth. The purposes of tax regulations should be to bring clarity to the already complex Internal Revenue Code (title 26, United States Code) and to provide useful guidance to taxpayers. Contrary to these purposes, numerous tax regulations issued over the last several years have effectively increased tax burdens, impeded economic growth, and saddled American businesses with onerous fines, complicated forms, and frustration. Immediate action is necessary to reduce the burden existing tax regulations impose on American taxpayers and thereby to provide tax relief and useful, simplified tax guidance.

Sec. 2. Addressing Tax Regulatory Burdens. (a) In furtherance of the policy described in section 1 of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) shall immediately review all significant tax regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury on or after January 1, 2016, and, in consultation with the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, identify in an interim report to the President all such regulations that:

(i) impose an undue financial burden on United States taxpayers;

(ii) add undue complexity to the Federal tax laws; or

(iii) exceed the statutory authority of the Internal Revenue Service.
This interim report shall be completed no later than 60 days from the date of this order. In conducting the review required by this subsection, earlier determinations of whether a regulation is significant pursuant to Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, as amended (Regulatory Planning and Review), shall not be controlling.

(b) No later than 150 days from the date of this order, the Secretary shall prepare and submit a report to the President that recommends specific actions to mitigate the burden imposed by regulations identified in the interim report required under subsection (a) of this section. The Secretary shall also publish this report in the Federal Register upon submitting it to the President. The Secretary shall take appropriate steps to cause the effective date of such regulations to be delayed or suspended, to the extent permitted by law, and to modify or rescind such regulations as appropriate and consistent with law, including, if necessary, through notice and comment rulemaking. The Secretary shall submit for publication in the Federal Register a summary of the actions taken in response to the report no later than 10 days following the finalization of such actions. Should all such actions not be finalized within 180 days following the submission of the report to the President, the Secretary shall submit for publication in the Federal Register an initial report summarizing the actions taken to that point.

(c) To ensure that future tax regulations adhere to the policy described in section 1 of this order, the Secretary and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall review and, if appropriate, reconsider the scope and implementation of the existing exemption for certain tax regulations from the review process set forth in Executive Order 12866 and any successor order.

(d) The Secretary shall cause section 32.1.5.4.7.5.3 of the Internal Revenue Manual to be revised, if necessary to fulfill the directives in subsection (c) of this section.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

I don't mean to be a stickler for word usage, but as far as what Jeff Sessions has said in regard to any of the questions surrounding Julian Assange & the leaking of classified information, to which I emphasize: NOWHERE in Jeff Session's statement does he mention going after & arresting Julian Assange! He addresses the issue of 'leaks'. Period!

The following is the quoted Jeff Sessions' statement as it was recorded by The Guardian:


“This is a matter that’s gone beyond anything I’m aware of,” Session said in a press conference on Thursday. “We have professionals that have been in the security business of the United States for many years that are shocked by the number of leaks and some of them are quite serious.”

"So yes, it is a priority. We've already begun to step up our efforts and whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put some people in jail,” the attorney general added. -- Telesur (http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Trump-Puts-WikiLeaks-and-Julian-Assange-in-the-Crosshairs--20170421-0020.html)


- NARRATIVE DRIVEN MEDIA -

Note: Its the MSM Corporate 'Fake News' outlets that are pushing this 'Julian Assange' propaganda piece ... and the general public is latching onto the hype.... Here we have CNN's Kate Bolduan attempting to steer the topic towards what she would like to have her interview focus on...

The makers of the following videos are also serving the purpose of this MSM propaganda in their choice of title for the following video copies of the related press conference & interview of the Trump Department heads... Attorney General Sessions & DHS Director Gen. Rogers.

And so then, I would suggest being a bit more focused & particular when examining what the MSM propaganda is attempting to push onto the viewing public...

Here again, we have CNN's Anderson Cooper doing the same thing, in his style of reporting - Pushing the NARRATIVE - as a result, he strengthens the notion that Jeff Sessions is going after an arrest warrant for Julian Assange... totally false! In this interview, he attempts to draw in Glenn Greenwald to make the notion appear more truthfully solid... the key word, here, is 'If'...

“Total Chaos” – Cyber Attack Feared As
Multiple Cities Hit With Simultaneous
Power Grid Failures (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/04/22/total-chaos-cyber-attack-feared-as-multiple-cities-hit-with-simultaneous-power-grid-failures/#more-148682)

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com, (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/total-chaos-cyber-attack-fears-as-multiple-cities-hit-with-simultaneous-power-grid-failures-shockwave-of-delays-in-san-francisco-los-angeles-new-york_04212017)

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/04/21/20170421_power.jpg

The U.S. power grid appears to have been hit with multiple power outages affecting San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles.

Officials report that business, traffic and day-to-day life has come to a standstill in San Francisco, reportedly the worst hit of the three major cities currently experiencing outages.

Power companies in all three regions have yet to elaborate on the cause, though a fire at a substation was the original reason given by San Francisco officials.

A series of subsequent power outages in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City left commuters stranded and traffic backed up on Friday morning. Although the outages occurred around the same time, there is as of yet no evidence that they were connected by anything more than coincidence.

The first outage occurred at around 7:20 a.m. in New York, when the power went down at the 7th Avenue and 53rd Street subway station, which sent a shockwave of significant delays out from the hub and into the rest of the subway system. By 11:30 a.m. the city’s MTA confirmed that generators were running again in the station, although the New York subways were set to run delayed into the afternoon.
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/04/21/20170421_power2.jpg


Later in the morning, power outages were reported in Los Angeles International Airport, as well as in several other areas around the city.
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/04/21/20170421_power1.jpg


Via : Inverse (https://www.inverse.com/article/30631-lax-sf-ny-power-outages)

The San Francisco Fire Department was responding to more than 100 calls for service in the Financial District and beyond, including 20 elevators with people stuck inside, but reported no immediate injuries. Everywhere, sirens blared as engines maneuvered along streets jammed with traffic.
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/04/21/20170421_SF1_0.jpg


Traffic lights were out at scores of intersections, and cars were backing up on downtown streets as drivers grew frustrated and honked at each other.

Via: SF Gate (http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Massive-power-outage-hits-San-Francisco-shuts-11089574.php)The cause of the outage has not yet been made clear, though given the current geo-political climate it is not out of the question to suggest a cyber attack could be to blame. It has also been suggested that the current outages could be the result of a secretive nuclear/EMP drill by the federal government (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/are-todays-massive-power-outages-really-secretly-part-of-the-operation-gotham-shield-nuclear-emp-drill_042017).

As we have previously reported, the entire national power grid has been mapped by adversaries of the United States and it is believed that sleep trojans or malware may exist within the computer systems that maintain the grid.

In a 2016 report it was noted that our entire way of life has been left vulnerable (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/extended-blackouts-power-grid-completely-vulnerable-to-sabotage-america-could-go-dark_07142016) to saboteurs who could cause cascading blackouts across the United States for days or weeks at a time:

It isn’t just EMPs and natural disaster that poses a threat to the grid, but there is also the potential for attacks on individual power substations in the vast network of decentralized and largely unguarded power grid chain. A U.S. government study established that there would be “major, extended blackouts if more than three key substations were destroyed.”

Whether by criminals, looters, terrorists, gangs or pranksters, it would take very little to bring down the present system, and there is currently very little the system can do to protect against this wide open threat.Whether the current outages are the result of a targeted infrastructure cyber attack or simply a coincidence, most Americans think the impossible can’t happen, as The Prepper’s Blueprint (https://amzn.to/TwaloQ) author Tess Pennington highlights, a grid-down scenario won’t just be a minor inconvenience (http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/when-the-grid-goes-down-you-better-be-ready_02142012) if it goes on for more than a day or two:

Consider, for a moment, how drastically your life would change without the continuous flow of energy the grid delivers. While manageable during a short-term disaster, losing access to the following critical elements of our just-in-time society would wreak havoc on the system.


Challenges or shut downs of business commerce
Breakdown of our basic infrastructure: communications, mass transportation, supply chains
Inability to access money via atm machines
Payroll service interruptions
Interruptions in public facilities – schools, workplaces may close, and public gatherings.
Inability to have access to clean drinking water

It is for this reason that we have long encouraged Americans to prepare for this potentially devastating scenario (https://amzn.to/TwaloQ) by considering emergency food reserves (https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-House/pages/2596881011?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=123feebet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=a9690835744025e13d0d01c749b4b042&camp=1789&creative=9325), clean water reserves (https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-House/pages/2596881011https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=emergency+water&_encoding=UTF8&tag=123feebet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=910979da079a9fcecd89da866a6a4172&camp=1789&creative=9325) and even home defense strategies (http://readynutrition.com/resources/week-51-of-52-personal-protection_14092012/) in the event of a widespread outage. The majority of Americans have about 3 days worth of food in their pantry. Imagine for a moment what Day 4 might look (http://readynutrition.com/resources/the-anatomy-of-a-breakdown_12112012/) like in any major city that goes dark.

This exclusive clip from American Blackout shows what an American Blackout might look like:

A list of many of the accomplishments of Donald Trump so far...

Originalist Supreme Court Justice

Bringing Back Jobs

Gutted Obama era over-regulations

Ended the war on coal

Drastically reduced illegal immigration

Fighting back against sanctuary cities

Drafted plan to defeat ISIS

5 Year Lobbying Ban

Sanctioned Iran over missile program

Created task force to reduce crime

Pipelines going which decreases US dependence on foreign energy sources

Signed executive order to protect police officers

Signed executive order to target drug cartels


...and the one wild card may turn out to be how he handled the "Syria setup." I may provide a commentary on this soon.

In case you haven't listened to Greg Hunter's latest interview guest, financial writer Craig Hemke, he notes the following interesting occurrences this week. I personally wasn't aware of them. The interview is dated yesterday 4/26/17:

"There are three events this week. Only one I have ever seen happening before. Yesterday, Trump invited every ambassador that sits on the UN Security Council to come to the White House for lunch. I have never seen that happen before. Trump is having all 100 U.S. Senators for a briefing from Trump, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State and the Head of the Joint Chiefs. I have never seen all 100 Senators briefed this way. Lastly, Secretary of State Tillerson is chairing a meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday.”

Hemke says the last time a U.S. Secretary of State chaired a meeting with the UN Security Council was just before the U.S. invaded Iraq."....

[TargeT]

Hemke says the last time a U.S. Secretary of State chaired a meeting with the UN Security Council was just before the U.S. invaded Iraq."....

but why the senators? Congress has to declare war, so maybe not that.... interesting moves.

[turiya]

Those of us who love Trump do so because of one reason before all else. Trump is not a life long politician. All life long politicians have been corrupted to some extent or another and usually to much worse of a degree then even we on the alternative side of the media would guess.
Trump was not a life long politician.
Trump appeared to be able to make decisions without being tethered to unseen forces.
This seemed to be the case before Syria and the MOAB in Afghanistan.
Now it appears he has been compromised, and this has been most disturbing and sad.
It's so funny how the mainstream media began supporting Trump after he "got with the program".
For those who have eyes it was most telling indeed.


Yesterday, Trump invited every ambassador that sits on the UN Security Council to come to the White House for lunch....


...but why the senators? Congress has to declare war, so maybe not that.... interesting moves.

Also, some interesting things X22 Report says... in the following report...

Thx Turiya for the above vids. I may not get to them until the weekend but I'm looking forward to them.

I'm especially intrigued by this EO of Trumps regarding our national monument lands. The obama administration has been instrumental in disempowering states rights, trying to put land and water rights under the auspices of puppet american indian tribal governments completely bought off by the fed gov, which make land and water almost Untouchable by the state governments and citizens of those states. All for the globalists to cut our assets up and auction them off to the highest bidder.

I've been down in the dumps regarding the compromising of trump but if he is showing a knowledge of the war on the states and the stealth of land and water rights and the agenda to get rural people off the lands and push them into the cities, that would be soooo encouraging.

WHY VOTING FOR TRUMP
WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO (http://www.curezone.info/aa/?1244651)
__________________________________________

Guest post by The Saker via saker.is (http://www.curezone.info/aa/?1244649).

https://bbs.dailystormer.com/uploads/default/optimized/3X/1/a/1a5065dae6e023d3694523769624e51edb239334_1_600x400.png

Now that Trump has already comprehensively betrayed all his campaign promises and that he 100 first days in office are marked by nothing else but total chaos, incompetence, betrayals of his closest friends and allies, recklessly dangerous and utterly ineffective grandstanding in foreign policy, there are a lot of people out there who say “I told you so!”, “how could you take this clown seriously!” and “are you now finally waking up from your delusional state?”. Yes, a superficial survey of what Trump did since he got into the White House could appear to make these nay-sayers look right. But in reality, they are completely wrong. Let me explain why.

First, what these nay-sayers apparently ignore is that there are innumerable examples in history of the elites turning against each other, usually in times of crises. In the case of Trump, I submit that there overwhelming empirical data out there that a good part of the world elites really and truly were terrified of a possible Trump victory. The kind of hysterical, completely over-the-top hate campaign in which the US Ziomedia engaged in against Trump is something which I have never seen before and which, in my opinion, proves that the Neocon-run propaganda outlets (the Ziomedia, Hollywood) saw Trump as a major danger to their interests. Now, whether Trump had any chance against such powerful “deep state” actors or not is immaterial: Trump was a chance, a possibility and, I would argue, the only option to try to kick the Neocons in the teeth. And don’t give me Sanders or Stein as possible options, they were both 100% fake – just look at how both of them did Hillary’s dirty job for her (Sanders with his endorsement of her even though he was cheated out of a victory and Stein with her ridiculous recount). Even if Trump had just a 1% chance of prevailing, voting for him was an opportunity to achieve regime change in the USA and the American people grabbed it. They did the ethically and pragmatically correct thing. Trump was really the only choice.

Second, you can think of the elections as a giant opinion poll. What the American voter did is to send two messages urbi et orbi. First to the rest of the planet: Not in our name! We don’t support this regime! And then to the Neocons: we hate you. In fact, we hate you so much that we are willing to even vote for a guy like Trump just because we hate Hillary even more. As to the message to the Ziomedia it was crystal clear: liars! We don’t trust you! Go screw yourselves, we will vote for the man you hate with such a passion precisely because we deny you the right to tell us what to think. Yes, Trump proved to be a fake and a liar himself, but he will also be a one term President as a direct consequence of his betrayals. And it is quite possible that Kushner or Pence will now run the Empire on behalf of his real bosses, but the world will also know that this was not what the American people wanted.

Third, this gigantic vote of no-confidence in the Ziomedia will now force the regime to engage in all sorts of more or less subtle maneuvers to try to crack down on free speech in the USA. This is good news for two reasons: a) they will fail and b) they will show their true face. YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter and all the others are now becoming overt agents of oppression whereas in the past they still had (an admittedly thin) veneer of respectability. Now that it has become clear that the Internet is the last free-speech zone and that more and more Americans realize that Russia Today or Press TV are far superior news sources than the US Ziomedia, the level of influence of the US propaganda machine will continue to plummet.

Fourth, if we look at the immoral, self-defeating and, frankly, stupid decisions of Trump in the Middle-East and in Far-East Asia we can at least find some solace in the fact that Trump is now betraying all his campaign promises. Hillary would have done more or less the same, but with what she would definitely present these policies as having a mandate from the American people. Trump has no such excuse, and that is very good indeed. Voting for Trump took the mandate away from the Ziocons.

Fifth, remember the “basket or deplorables”? “Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic.” If Hillary had been elected, then the ideology which made her characterize the average American as ugly bigot would be ruling the country by now. But she was defeated. Thus, it is becoming undeniable that there are two Americas out there: one which I call the “alliance of minorities” and the other what I would called “real America” or “mainstream America”. The defeat of Hillary has sent a powerful message to these minorities reminding them that they are exactly that – minorities – and that a political agenda centered on the hatred of the majority is not a viable one. This empowering of the majority of US Americans is, I think, a much needed development whose effects will hopefully felt in future elections.

Sixth, Trump already got one more or less decent Supreme Court Justice in. He might get another one in before he is impeached or his term ends. Hillary would have probably nominated the first Black or Latino genderfluid freak, a Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi or even Alan Dershowitz Himself (with a capital “H”) to the supreme court and dared anybody to vote them down. Of course, compared to the risks of nuclear war, a Supreme Court Justice nominee might not appear to be crucial, but for those living inside the USA such nominations can make a huge difference.

Seventh and last but not least, nuclear war is simply too horrible and threatens the future of the entire human race. I submit that we all, every one of us, has a moral duty to do everything we can to avoid it and to make it less likely, even if we can only act at the margins. This is one of those very rare cases where a single-issue vote really does make sense. I don’t care how bad Trump turned out to be. In fact, even if he turns out to be even worse than Hillary, I submit that it is absolutely undeniable that on the day the Election took place Hillary was the candidate for war and Trump the candidate for peace. Those who claim otherwise seem to have forgotten that Hillary promised us a no-fly zone over Russian forces in Syria. They also forget this absolutely crucial statement made by Hillary Clinton in early December of 2012:


“There is a move to re-Sovietise the region,” (…) “It’s not going to be called that. It’s going to be called a customs union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of that,” (…) “But let’s make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it.”
There are also persistent rumors that Hillary was the one who told Bill to bomb Serbia. So this women (sorry, I cannot call her a “lady”) does have a record and that record is a frightening one. God only knows what would have happened if she had become the President. She clearly is a hateful maniac with a personal hate for Putin. There is absolutely no evidence indicating that Trump had that kind of hateful personality.

So while “Monday morning quarterbacking” is fun, it is also absurd. Those who now tell us “I told you so” are right but for the wrong reasons, whereas those who supported Trump were wrong, but for the right reasons. Trump betrayed his campaign promises, but those who voted for him could not simply assume that he would do that, especially not when there was no reason at all to believe that Hillary would betray hers: does anybody seriously believe that after being elected on a promise of war she would have turned into a dove of peace? Of course not.

Simply put: Hillary was guaranteed bad. Trump was possibly bad. The logical choice was therefore obvious, especially when ‘bad’ would most likely mean nuclear war.

President Donald Trump wowed NRA members today by promising from the podium that Obama’s “8-year assault on your 2nd Amendment freedoms has come to an end!”

Trump has become only the second U.S. President to address the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association (NRA) since Ronald Reagan appeared only weeks after he was shot by John Hinkley, Jr., in 1981. And Trump wowed those in attendance nearly as much as The Gipper did.

State Department wants Haley to
get approval for public remarks: report (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/331016-state-dept-wants-haley-to-get-approval-for-public-remarks)

By Nikita Vladimirov (http://thehill.com/author/nikita-vladimirov) - 04/27/17 10:57 PM EDT

http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumb_small_article/public/article_images/haleynikki_011817gn_lead.jpg?itok=dC05KxXf

The State Department is reportedly urging U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley (http://thehill.com/person/nikki-haley) to get her remarks cleared with Washington before making official public statements.

According to The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/27/world/americas/state-department-united-nations-ambassador.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=1&mtrref=undefined&gwh=AB2E3C9475E79817C11879EFDBA516EC&gwt=pay), an email drafted by State Department diplomats asked Haley's office to rely on pre-written “building blocks” when preparing her remarks.

The email maintained that her comments should be “re-cleared with Washington if they are substantively different from the building blocks, or if they are on a high-profile issue such as Syria, Iran, Israel-Palestine, or [North Korea].”

Haley has previously maintained (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/328844-nikki-haley-i-cant-imagine-running-for-the-white-house) that she checks with the administration about her statements. She told CNN earlier this month that President Trump "has given me a lot of leeway to just say what I think and interpret what he thinks.""It is always coordinated with the White House. ... I would never go rogue, because I'm very aware of who I work for," she said. "I'm a strong voice by nature. I'm sometimes a bull in a china shop. And, you know, he allows me to do that."
The email instructing the ambassador to use “building blocks” for her remarks comes ahead of a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday where Haley is set to appear alongside Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (http://thehill.com/person/rex-tillerson).

South Koreans refused.

http://www.xaluan.com/images/news/Image/2017/04/28/95902fea1f3da9.img.jpg

Donald Trump has asked South Koreans to pay $1.5 billion for the installation and maintenance of the THAAD Missile System which was recently put into operation on a South Korean golf course.

The move sparked mass protests among locals opposed to American militarism in the region as well as the negative environmental impact of the system.

South Koreans told Trump that they have no desire to foot the bill of the American missile system, something which was never part of the original agreement between Washington and Seoul.

It looks like Donald Trump’s ‘pay as you go’ hegemony isn’t working as smoothly as some might have imagined.

Trump Promises White House Will No Longer
Obscure Iraq and Syria Troop Deployments (http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/04/27/trump-promises-white-house-will-no-longer-obscure-iraq-and-syria-troop-deployments/)

http://media.breitbart.com/media/2016/09/us-troops-war-on-terror-baghdad-iraq-blackhawk-getty-640x480.jpg

by John Hayward (http://www.breitbart.com/author/john-hayward/)
27 Apr 2017




President Trump has authorized military commanders to reset the complex system of troop limits in the Iraqi and Syrian theaters. The Pentagon announced no immediate changes, but supporters of Trump’s decision say it will sweep away a veil of political obfuscation President Obama placed over troop deployments.

To put it bluntly, the Obama administration did not honestly report how many U.S. “boots on the ground” were placed in Iraq and Syria. As Reuters (http://www.foreigndesknews.com/news/politics/trump-gives-pentagon-power/) explains:


The Force Management Level system was introduced in Iraq and Syria during Barack Obama’s administration as a way to exert control over the military. Obama periodically raised FML limits to allow more troops in Iraq and Syria as the campaign against Islamic State advanced.

But the numbers did not reflect the extent of the U.S. commitment on the ground since commanders found often less-than-ideal ways to work around the limits – sometimes bringing in forces temporarily or hiring more contractors.

The force management levels, which are officially at 5,262 in Iraq and 503 in Syria, are believed to be more than a couple of thousands troops shy of the actual number of U.S. forces in both countries.
“We want our reporting to Congress and to the public to be more easily and clearly understood,” said Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White. “We will conduct a review to ensure that the numbers we provide to Congress and to the public accurately reflect the facts on the ground. This is about transparency.”

One particular area of clarity mentioned in the Pentagon’s announcement is the number of troops on “temporary” deployment. In the past, such temporary assignments were a convenient way to bypass the troop limits without admitting more American personnel were being deployed to the Iraq and Syrian theaters since “temporary” deployments didn’t count.

“Bringing the authority really back here where it’s historically been enables military commanders to be more agile, to more quickly and efficiently support partners, to have more rapid decision-making, and to keep units together,” said (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-pentagon-authority-set-troop-levels-syria-iraq/story?id=47044082) Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis.

The Pentagon emphasized that it plans to continue its focus on training and equipping local forces, rather than dramatically increasing the number of U.S. troops in the region.

As Reuters goes on to point out, President Obama’s deception was not only directed at domestic audiences. Hostile entities in Iraq and Syria, notably anti-American militia leaders like Shiite imam Moqtada al-Sadr, are already agitating for fewer American troops in the battle to recapture Mosul from ISIS. A larger U.S. footprint could mean political problems for the Iraqi government.

Military.com (http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/04/27/trump-gives-mattis-authority-set-troop-levels-iraq-syria.html) calls Trump’s order a “major reversal of Obama administration policy” and wonders if Secretary of Defense James Mattis will eventually have the authority to deploy more troops to Afghanistan where the security situation has been degrading steadily, and South Korea, where the security situation might degrade rather abruptly. The change announced by the Trump White House and Pentagon is limited to Iraq and Syria at the moment.

“The decision by Trump to delegate more authority to Mattis followed complaints by three defense secretaries who served under Obama – Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Chuck Hagel – about being ‘micromanaged’ by White House officials on military matters,” Military.com notes.

Panic Bank Run Leaves Canada's Largest Alternative Mortgage Lender On Edge Of Collapse (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-29/furious-bank-run-leaves-canadas-largest-alternative-mortgage-lender-verge-collapse)

Canada’s largest alternative (i.e., non-bank) mortgage lender is fundamentally insolvent, kept alive only courtesy of the Canadian housing bubble which until last week had managed to lift all boats, Home Capital Group suffered a spectacular spectacular implosion (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-26/canadas-housing-bubble-explodes-its-biggest-mortgage-lender-crashes-most-history)last week when its stock price crashed by the most on record after HCG revealed that it had taken out an emergency $2 billion line of credit from an unnamed counterparty with an effective rate as high as 22.5%, indicative of a business model on the verge of collapse .



On Friday, the company revealed that high-interest savings account balances fell another 36% to $521-million by Friday morning, down by a whopping $293 million from $814-million Thursday and more than $2-billion a month ago.



In other words, had it not been for the emergency HOOPP loan, the company would likely be insolvent as of this moment following what may be the biggest bank run in recent Canadian history; which also explains why the interest rate on the loan is above 20%.

The Strategy For North Korea Is Unbelievable
Episode 1267b
(Published on Apr 30, 2017)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6QDQljWIsI___________________________





The only real constant to be found in both European and US politics is war. A steady feature of both regions for the past 20+ years has been small, lucrative conflicts waged against countries unable to effectively defend themselves.



It doesn’t seem to matter who’s in office in the US = Republican/Democrat, conservative/liberal – there’s a war machine constantly running. My concern is that there’s a building risk that one day that war machine is going to bust apart. And when it does, the long relative peace that the US and Europe have enjoyed (even as they’ve visited a lot of death and destruction elsewhere) will be shattered.



As I’ve written extensively in the past, as was the case with Russia last fall, this push to war includes a series of carefully-crafted talking points being endlessly repeated over the print and airwaves. It’s an ever-present condition of living in our manufactured reality, where what we are told to care about is beamed at us around the clock in a rather tediously but emotionally-manipulative way on the “news.”



For a short historical review, recall that it wasn’t that long ago that we were asked to be in a near state of panic about:


Ebola
Iran’s nuclear capabilities
Libya’s terrible strongman (who turned out to be way better than the thugs who replaced him)
Terrorists
Russia
How many of those are now ‘front and center’ in your concerns? Probably none. Today’s big ‘bogeyman’ is North Korea. Have you wondered why?
The news about North Kea is at a fever pitch. Again, we have to ask, why now?

Donald Trump Says 'Major, Major' Conflict With
North Korea Possible, But Seeks Diplomacy (http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/donald-trump-says-major-major-conflict-with-north-korea-possible-but-seeks-diplomacy-1686962)

World (http://www.ndtv.com/world-news) | Reuters (http://www.ndtv.com/topic/reuters) | Updated: April 28, 2017 08:23 IST


https://i.ndtvimg.com/i/2017-04/donald-trump-reuters_650x400_71493347996.jpg
Donald Trump said he wanted to peacefully resolve
a crisis that has bedevilled multiple US presidents.

The Trump administration on Wednesday declared North Korea “an urgent national security threat and top foreign policy priority.” It said it was focusing on economic and diplomatic pressure, including Chinese cooperation in containing its defiant neighbor and ally, and remained open to negotiations.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday a major conflict with North Korea is possible in the standoff over its nuclear and missile programs, but he would prefer a diplomatic outcome to the dispute.

“There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely,” Trump told Reuters in an Oval Office interview ahead of his 100th day in office on Saturday.

Nonetheless, Trump said he wanted to peacefully resolve a crisis that has bedeviled multiple U.S. presidents, a path that he and his administration are emphasizing by preparing a variety of new economic sanctions while not taking the military option off the table.

“We’d love to solve things diplomatically but it’s very difficult,” he said.

In other highlights of the 42-minute interview, Trump was cool to speaking again with Taiwan’s president after an earlier telephone call with her angered China.

He also said he wants South Korea to pay the cost of the U.S. THAAD anti-missile defense system, which he estimated at $1 billion, and intends to renegotiate or terminate a U.S. free trade pact with South Korea because of a deep trade deficit with Seoul.

U.S. officials said military strikes remained an option but played down the prospect, though the administration has sent an aircraft carrier and a nuclear-powered submarine to the region in a show of force.

Any direct U.S. military action would run the risk of massive North Korean retaliation and huge casualties in Japan and South Korea and among U.S. forces in both countries.

Okay, let’s parse all that out:
There are no direct negotiations between the US and North Korea
Trump is talking tough
Kim Jong Un is insane
Trump wants South Korea to pay for a $1 billion US piece of hardware
Trump wants to renegotiate or terminate the trade pact with South Korea
If things ‘go hot’, a lot of casualties are expected
Both China and North Korea are very alarmed by the THAAD anti-missile system the US has installed in South Korea
The US is maneuvering military assets into the region, including an aircraft carrier and sub, among other displays of suggested force
Let’s see here…what could possibly go wrong?
How about everything?
Here’s some more on the THAAD anti-missile defense system, which wasn’t well received by the locals in South Korea who, for some reason, have no interest in being dragged into a war with their immediate and heavily-militarized neighbors by a careless US administration:

Our emotions are manipulated by persuasion & propaganda

by Chris Martenson
Friday, November 18, 2016, 9:20 PM
The explosion of emotions triggered by the recent presidential election caught many off guard. Across the country, friendships have been lost, family members estranged, and hostility has boiled over in many communities.

In our consumer culture we're sold lots of things. Two weeks ago it might have been jeans and a TV, but last week it was fear. And Loathing. People were sold fear and loathing, and now it is ruining friendships, making people miserable, and driving the country apart.

I’m not going to spend a lot of time on the “why” of this story. The “why” is a mix of competing interests including simple commerce (fear sells), political gain, and creating divisiveness within the population for other purposes.

So, what’s going on?

Sadly, in many cases, I think people have simply been manipulated in traumatic fashion and we're now dealing with the emotional and social repercussions.

What do I mean by that?

In response to another comment on this site from a teacher whose students were expressing severe emotional distress over the Trump win, contributor Dave Fairtex offered these insights (emphasis mine):

(…) His students' reaction is NOT about losing an election. It's because these people watch media, and the (Clinton-controlled) media spent the last four months working overtime to program everyone in the country that Trump is a soulless monster come to eat them and their families, roasting their babies on a spit while laughing, and so on.

This emotional programming has been extremely effective. That's why people are rioting now. Not because they aren't good losers, but because they've been successfully emotionally programmed by the Clinton Campaign's media arm (CNN, CNBC, and millions of scary social media posts), who are very good at what they do.


(Source (https://www.peakprosperity.com/comment/201382#comment-201382)) Emotional programming… This is something that we need to discuss because it is very real. It is happening right now and will continue to bombard us. And humans are highly susceptible to it.

Not because they're weak; but because they're unaware of it. If you aren't aware of the tricks and devices used to persuade, lead, and sometime mislead your emotions and actions, then you cannot protect yourself from these efforts.


The Peak Prosperity Value Proposition

Before we dive into the topic of persuasion, subliminal nudging, and emotional manipulation I want to review the value proposition here at PeakProsperity.com.

Why do so many people read our articles? Why do a number of them subscribe to premium content and Insider reports? Because they find value in them. We’ve heard it said, many times, that our readers value our work Because it makes them feel smarter.

Of course, we don't think we're actually making these folks any more intelligent than they already are. However, we do strive to engage their minds in ways that challenge and expand their perspective.

What we do is provide additional context that will (1) help you see the world in a new and expanded way that will (2) lead you to make different decisions in the future. After all, "smarter" is no good if it doesn’t lead you to be more connected to and alive within the world.

The more context you have, the more intelligent you become.

Knowledge is a bunch of facts. Someone who can list every national capitol through all of history has a lot of knowledge. But possessing a lot of knowledge is not the same thing as being intelligent.

Intelligence comes from connecting ideas and having the context, or framework, into which one can plug one’s accumulated knowledge.

A favorite Leonardo Da Vinci quote of mine is:
“Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else”
With this view ‘intelligent’ is not something you are; it is something you become.

Let me also say, right up front, that I'm not going to try to convince you of anything. I will lay out a series of dots that I hope might sway your thinking, because they swayed mine. If you don’t agree with me, that’s fine. But you should have a solid argument for why.

Your mental landscape is certainly different from mine. Quite possibly so entirely different that what persuades me has zero impact on you, or even may solidify an entirely opposite view you hold. We can be intelligent in entirely different ways, which means that diversity of thinking and experience is what really matters.

This distinction is pretty much lost on a lot of people at present. And that’s creating a lot of resentment in our society right now.


The Persuasion Continuum

There’s nothing inherently bad with being persuasive. In fact, it’s a great talent to have.

While it’s too much to go into here, the art of persuasion that we preach involves being calm, centered and collected. Have your facts at the ready, be free of any emotional charges (such as anger or depression), and approach your audience gently, always ready to back away if you see signs that they're not emotionally ready to listen to you now. Plant seeds in these cases. Be patient.

Pressing or cajoling doesn't change someone's opinion. Nobody has ever been persuaded by being bullied. Or insulted. Or belittled. Or shamed. Or shouted down. They may retreat from the argument, but they're not swayed.

People will listen to hear a new line of thinking when they're ready, and not a moment sooner. Well, as long as you're playing fair and coming through the front door, that is. People can also be forced to accept a new position (before they are ready) if you play unfair.

This can be done by using the back doors to the human psyche, which such techniques as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), hypnosis, mirroring, and subliminal advertising make use of.

Furthermore, when humans are traumatized, their front and theirback doors are ripped open. In this state, people are open to all kinds of manipulation and implanted suggestions. Trauma programming gives us the Stockholm Syndrome -- where a kidnapping or hostage victim develops feelings of trust or affection towards their captor(s) -- as well as buys years, decades and sometimes a lifetime of silence from sexual assault victims.

Here’s a straightforward diagram for the visually minded folks (like me) out there:


http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Persuasion-continuum-11-18-2016.jpg
Before we get to harder material around the sort of propaganda and emotional manipulation that has accompanied this election cycle, let’s spend some time on the relatively safe and agreed-upon territory of manipulation in traditional sales and marketing campaigns.


Manipulative Marketing & Subliminal Advertising


If you haven’t noticed, performing a Google search for something like ‘best kiddie swim pools’ will usually cause you to later notice that ads for kids' swim wear begin showing up on your favorite news sites.

This is old news, and creepy as it is, it’s quite effective. If it didn’t work, it wouldn't be used. It’s used because it works great, and it’s getting more sophisticated all the time as the algorithms become better and better at figuring out how to understand someone well enough to divine their shopping preferences.

But all of that is pretty straightforward and overt, at for those paying even mild attention. Most of us know by now that the ads that show up on the internet sites we visit are anything but random. They're meant for us based on our recent on-line searches and behavior.

Subliminal advertising is far more covert than simple ad placement as it is designed to operate sub-liminally meaning 'beneath your conscious awareness'. This is different from operating on the un-conscious level because, generally speaking, you cannot access your unconscious mind. But you can elevate a subliminal message into your conscious frame.

Subliminal things are often right there in front of you, but they're not really noticed unless your attention is drawn to them for other reasons.

There’s a whole subculture of people who like to discover and expose the subliminal messages that are used every day to try and influence people’s purchasing habits. Most often subliminal messages revolve around sex.

Why? Because evoking a connection to sex has proven to be extremely effective at motivating people to action, specifically towards buying your product. Again: it’s used because it works.

If you want to amuse yourself, Google "subliminal advertising (https://www.google.com/search?q=subliminal+advertising&oq=subliminal+advertising&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.374j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)" and scroll through the image results.

Here are a few examples to give you an idea of the trove of examples that your search will find:


http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Subliminal-1-11-18-2016.jpg

http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Subliminal-2-11-18-2016.jpg

http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Subliminal-3-11-18-2016.jpg

http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Subliminal-4-11-18-2016.jpg

And so on. Some of the examples I dared not reproduce for fear of offending folks, as they were so sexually graphic. But for those interested, there’s a big world of subliminal advertising to explore...

The point of subliminal advertising is to link a mass product to consumer’s unconscious desires. While used extensively by corporations to move their products, the initial logic that underlies subliminal advertising, and even advertising more generally, was based on the works of Sigmund Freud and developed into a workable framework for social control and programming by his nephew Edward Bernays.

Here’s a fascinating documentary on how all this came to be (~ 1 hour):
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04

Propaganda

When I write “propaganda” many people will reflexively think of the crude cartoons of WW II that depicted various fascist leaders of enemy countries as evil caricatures.

But such propaganda is alive and well today as I recently outlined in a piece on the propaganda efforts currently in use against Putin (https://www.peakprosperity.com/blog/102964/we-risk-being-collateral-damage-neocon-lust-war) by the western media.

Once one knows what to look for, the efforts are really not at all difficult to spot. And once elevated to the conscious mind, they lose nearly all of their effectiveness.

What’s important to realize is that the science of propaganda was born a long time ago, and it has not remained fossilized ever since. It's been evolving along with our increasingly sophisticated understanding of the brain and its functions and wiring.

Here’s what the grandfather of propaganda, Freud's nephew Edward Bernays, wrote in chapter 1 of his book Propaganda back in 1928:


http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Bernays-Number-1-11-18-2016.jpg
(Source (https://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/Bernays_Propaganda_in_english_.pdf))

The true ruling powers of any country are those who most successfully manipulate the “organized habits and opinions of the masses” as Bernays says. Once you understand the rules for rulers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs), you know that they can do nothing without keeping those who hold the keys to power on their side. And they in turn can do nothing without the consent and agreement of those below them. And propaganda plays a critical role in securing and maintaining that loyalty and consent.

While generally not talked about in polite company, the art and science of social control has been faithfully advanced and deployed to sell you a lot more than shoes and soda.

The science of social control, especially what the crowds are thinking and doing, while still imperfect, has come a very long way over the past 90 years.

Here’s an example picked up very recently by member mememonkey that I thought fascinating:


http://media.PeakProsperity.com/images/Trump-reagan-backlash-11-17-2016.jpg (https://youtu.be/HVgR_O5jL_8)
CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE VIDEO

While playing a video feed of Ronald Reagan being shot by Hinkley, CNN was displaying text below that reads “TRUMP FACES BACKLASH…” Blunt. Crude. Effective.

Now, by this time it hopefully does not take a genius to see what sort of message is being sold here. What exactly the Reagan assassination attempt has to do with Trump ditching reporters is entirely unclear from the image and text placement. Heck, it’s not even clear once they try and explain it. But the inference is crystal clear: assassination might just be 'fair game' as a form of backlash?

A traumatic event is being used to reinforce a message. That’s a covert-traumatic ploy that’s a proven winner. If it didn’t work, then it wouldn’t be used. But here it is, and you need to be aware that such scripts are running nearly all the time in the marketplace not just of products, but of ideas.

Now this isn’t some tin-foil hat wearing theory. It's the very essence of advertising and propaganda. Once you notice it, you’ll see it everywhere and if you are like me, it will annoy you with its brazen obviousness. “How can this work?” you will wonder.

As greater advances have been made in the fields of social control, cognitive processing, and neurology the ‘tools of the trade’ have become ever more sophisticated.

You need to be aware of the idea that not only are these subtle influences bombarding us all the time, but they are increasingly effective. If you are not aware, then you run the risk of having your ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions essentially provided for you by someone else.

In Part 2: How To Protect Yourself From Persuasion & Propaganda (https://www.peakprosperity.com/insider/103566/how-protect-yourself-persuaion-propaganda), we explain how once you become aware of the constant ‘programming’ efforts that are being aimed at you on a daily basis, you have the chance to become mindful of these efforts and prevent them from swaying your emotions and decisions (at least, not more than you allow them to).

Miltary Power Comparison USA versus North Korea

Link: http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-comparison-detail.asp?form=form&country1=united-states-of-america&country2=north-korea&Submit=COMPARE

Probably the most telling point in this comparsion is the fact that the North Korea miltary:
- consumes 15,000 barrels of oil per day,
- produces 100 barrels per day, and
- they have ZERO oil reserves.

If North Korea has no support in their aim to wage war against the USA and especially from China, how are they going to fuel their war machine?

Similiar during the last year of the WW2, Germany still had a huge and capable miltary but their down fall was in large part due to the lack of oil to drive their war machine.

So Kim can say what he wants but he is kidding himself if he think he is going to take anyone on.

But Trump being as clever as he is maybe using this psuedo threat to justify upgrading the USA miltary.

Trump’s ‘Very Friendly’ Talk With Duterte
Stuns Aides and Critics Alike (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/30/us/politics/trump-duterte.html)

By MARK LANDLER (https://www.nytimes.com/by/mark-landler)
APRIL 30, 2017

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBAyS0n.img?h=417&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=924&y=687
President Trump speaking at a campaign-style rally on Saturday in Harrisburg, Pa.

WASHINGTON — When President Trump called President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/philippines/index.html?inline=nyt-geo) on Saturday, White House officials saw it as part of a routine diplomatic outreach to Southeast Asian leaders. Mr. Trump, characteristically, had his own ideas.

During their “very friendly conversation,” the administration said in a late-night statement, Mr. Trump invited Mr. Duterte, an authoritarian leader accused of ordering extrajudicial killings of drug suspects in the Philippines, to visit him at (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/30/us/politics/trump-invites-rodrigo-duterte-to-the-white-house.html?_r=0) the White House (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/30/us/politics/trump-invites-rodrigo-duterte-to-the-white-house.html?_r=0).

Now, the administration is bracing for an avalanche of criticism from human rights groups. Two senior officials said they expected the State Department and the National Security Council, both of which were caught off guard by the invitation, to raise objections internally.

The White House disclosed the news on a day when Mr. Trump fired up his supporters at a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pa. The timing of the announcement — after a speech that was a grievance-filled jeremiad (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/29/us/politics/trump-rally-pennsylvania.html) — encapsulated this president after 100 days in office: still ready to say and do things that leave people, even on his staff, slack-jawed.

“By essentially endorsing Duterte’s murderous war on drugs, Trump is now morally complicit in future killings,” said John Sifton, the Asia advocacy director of Human Rights Watch. “Although the traits of his personality likely make it impossible, Trump should be ashamed of himself.”Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on Twitter (https://twitter.com/chrismurphyct/status/858638288789413888), “We are watching in real time as the American human rights bully pulpit disintegrates into ash.”

Administration officials said the call to Mr. Duterte was one of several to Southeast Asian leaders that the White House arranged after picking up signs that the leaders felt neglected because of Mr. Trump’s intense focus on China, Japan and tensions over North Korea. On Sunday, Mr. Trump spoke to the prime ministers of Singapore and Thailand; both got White House invitations.

Mr. Duterte’s toxic reputation had already given pause to some in the White House. The Philippines is set to host a summit meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in November, and officials said there had been a brief debate about whether Mr. Trump should attend.

It is not even clear, given the accusations of human rights abuses against him, that Mr. Duterte would be granted a visa to the United States were he not a head of state, according to human rights advocates.

Still, Mr. Trump’s affinity for Mr. Duterte, and other strongmen (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/01/world/asia/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-rodrigo-dutert-kim-jong-un.html) as well, is firmly established. Both presidents are populist insurgent leaders with a penchant for making inflammatory statements. Both ran for office calling for a wholesale crackdown on Islamist militancy and the drug trade. And both display impatience with the courts.

After Mr. Trump was elected, Mr. Duterte called to congratulate him. Later, the Philippine leader issued a statement saying that the president-elect had wished him well in his antidrug campaign, which has resulted in the deaths of several thousand people (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/12/07/world/asia/rodrigo-duterte-philippines-drugs-killings.html) suspected of using or selling narcotics, as well as others who may have had no involvement with drugs.

Mr. Trump’s cultivation of Mr. Duterte has a strategic rationale, officials said. Mr. Duterte has pivoted away from the United States, a longtime treaty ally, and toward China. The alienation deepened (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/08/world/asia/days-after-slur-obama-and-rodrigo-duterte-of-philippines-meet-briefly.html) after he referred to President Barack Obama as a “son of a whore” when he was asked how he would react if Mr. Obama raised human rights concerns with him.

In October, Mr. Duterte called for a “separation” between the Philippines and the United States. “America has lost now,” he told an audience of business executives in Beijing. “I’ve realigned myself in your ideological flow.” He later threatened to rip up an agreement that allows American troops to visit the Philippines.

Administration officials said Mr. Trump wanted to mend the alliance with the Philippines as a bulwark against China’s expansionism in the South China Sea. The Philippines has clashed with China over disputed reefs and shoals in the waterway, which the two countries share.

Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus, drew a connection between a visit by Mr. Duterte and the tensions with North Korea. Building solidarity throughout Asia, he said on ABC’s “This Week,” is needed to pressure North Korea on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Experts said that argument was tenuous, however, noting that it was more important to corral a country like Malaysia, where North Koreans hold meetings to buy or sell weapons-related technology.

Mr. Trump has a commercial connection to the Philippines (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/26/us/politics/donald-trump-international-business.html): His name is stamped on a $150 million, 57-floor tower in Manila, a licensing deal that netted his company millions of dollars. Mr. Duterte appointed the chairman (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/10/world/asia/donald-trump-philippines-jose-antonio.html) of the company developing the tower, Jose E. B. Antonio, as an envoy to Washington for trade, investment and economic affairs.

Certainly, the two leaders have similar agendas. Mr. Duterte is battling Islamist extremists who have terrorized the southern islands of the Philippine archipelago. He once declared that if he were presented with a terrorism suspect, “give me salt and vinegar and I’ll eat his liver.”

They are also in tune on the need for a crackdown on drugs, even if Mr. Trump is not advocating Mr. Duterte’s brutal methods. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has revived the language of the “war on drugs,” which the Obama administration shunned as part of its policy to reduce lengthy prison sentences for nonviolent drug offenders.

Mr. Trump has drawn the line with one autocrat: President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, whose chemical weapons strike on his own people prompted the American president to order a Tomahawk missile strike (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/world/middleeast/us-said-to-weigh-military-responses-to-syrian-chemical-attack.html) on a Syrian airfield.

But Mr. Trump’s affinity for strongmen is instinctive and longstanding. He recently called to congratulate (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/17/us/politics/trump-erdogan-turkey-referendum.html) President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey on his victory in a much-disputed referendum (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/16/world/europe/turkey-referendum-polls-erdogan.html) expanding his powers, which some critics painted as a death knell for Turkish democracy.

At his rally in Harrisburg, Mr. Trump went after many of the targets he vilified during the campaign: the news media, Democrats, immigrants. But he reversed course on one — China — and the reason may be that he met recently with China’s president, Xi Jinping, in Palm Beach, Fla.

At home, Mr. Xi is cracking down on dissent and consolidating his power. But Mr. Trump has enlisted Mr. Xi to pressure China’s neighbor, North Korea, and is giving him the benefit of the doubt. “I honestly believe he’s trying very hard,” Mr. Trump told the crowd. “He’s a good man.”

Mr. Trump credited his relationship with Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, as a factor in obtaining the release (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/21/us/politics/american-aid-worker-released-egypt-trump.html) of an Egyptian-American aid worker, Aya Hijazi, who had been detained there. Mr. Trump played host at the White House to Mr. Sisi, who had not been granted an invitation since he seized power in a military coup nearly four years ago.

Then there is, of course, Mr. Trump’s vow during the campaign to pursue a warmer relationship with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. That effort has faltered somewhat because of persistent questions (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/fbi-investigation-trump-russia-comey.html) about links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

Even Mr. Trump’s prime antagonist — the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un — has earned a surprisingly generous assessment from the president in recent days. Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Mr. Trump expressed admiration that Mr. Kim had been able to keep a grip on power.

“A lot of people, I’m sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else,” Mr. Trump said. “And he was able to do it. So, obviously, he’s a pretty smart cookie.”

ISIS Apologized To Israel For
Attacking IDF Soldiers (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-28/isis-apologized-israel-attacking-idf-soldiers)

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-5.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden)
by Tyler Durden (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden)
Apr 29, 2017 11:38 AM
In a curious incident that is certain to provoke questions about the proximity, not to mention fund flow, between Israel and ISIS the former Israeli Defense Minister, cited by the Times of Israel (http://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-defense-minister-says-is-apologized-to-israel-for-november-clash/), said that Islamic State terrorists have on at least one occasion “apologized” to Israel for mistakenly attacking IDF soldiers in the occupied Golan Heights. The disclosure may also provide some insight into why after reportedly attacking virtually every religion and ethnicity in the region, there have been virtually no documented attacks by the Islamic State on Israel or its citizens.


http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/04/19/58feba66c46188ed7f8b4603_0.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/04/19/58feba66c46188ed7f8b4603.jpg)

Discussing the wider Israeli policy of “neutrality” in Syria, former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon accidentally admitted that Israel has an open communications channel with an Islamic State cell which operates in Gollan Heights.

“There was one case recently where Daesh opened fire and apologized,” Ya’alon said on Saturday, quoted by the Times of Israel (http://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-defense-minister-says-is-apologized-to-israel-for-november-clash/).

Asked to expand on his controversial statement, Ya’alon’s office refused to elaborate. The IDF also declined to comment. Under Israeli law, any communication with terrorists is considered illegal, unless of course the Israel state covertly does not consider ISIS terrorists.

Ya’alon served as Israel's Defense Minister from 2013 until his resignation in May 2016, and his comments were reportedly referring to the first direct incident involving clashes between Israel and Islamic State terrorists. In that incident which took place last November, the Shuhada al-Yarmouk cell, which has pledged allegiance to ISIS, exchanged fire with Israeli forces after the IDF's Golani Brigade crossed the security fence with Syria to conduct an “ambush operation.”


http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/04/19/yaalon_0.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2017/04/19/yaalon.jpg)
Former Israeli defense minister Moshe 'Bogie' Ya'alon speaks at the Hebrew University

While the official Israeli position is pursuing neutrality in the Syrian conflict, Tel Aviv has on several occasions engaged Syrian military targets in Syria - most recently on Wednesday (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-26/massive-explosion-reported-near-damascus-international-airport-syria)- usually under the pretext of preventing the alleged transfer of weapons to Hezbollah, considered a terrorist group by Israel. Last month, Tel Aviv confirmed conducting airstrikes on several targets in Syria, after Damascus activated its air defense system against the IDF jets.

While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has justified the repeated incursions, explaining that IDF planes targeted a Hezbollah weapons convoy, Damascus has said that the Israeli strikes only benefit the Islamic State and other terrorist groups. Earlier this month the Syrian President Bashar Assad once again blamed Israel of helping militants terrorizing his country.

"You can assume that these terrorists are fighting for Israel. If they aren't part of the regular Israeli army, they're fighting for Israel. Israel has common goals with Turkey, the United States, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other countries,” Ynet (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4946010,00.html)quoted Assad as as saying.

“Israel is working on helping these terrorists wherever the Syrian army is advancing. It attacks in one form or another to provide them with assistance, and to stop the Syrian army’s momentum in the face of the terrorists,” the Syrian leader added.

In light of Ya'alon's comments, Assad may have been right.

Third Time The Charm: White House Plans Wednesday Healthcare Vote, Confident It Has The Votes (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-01/third-time-charm-white-house-thinks-it-has-votes-healthcare-plans-wednesday-vote)

Will third time be the charm for Trump's attempt to pass a Republican healthcare bill? After two consecutive failed attemps to repeal Obamacare at the end of March and again last week, on Monday morning Trump's two key advisers, first Gary Cohn then Reince Priebus, said they think there are enough votes to pass the revised GOP healthcare proposal.

Specifically, we asked Binney:
Do you buy it? https://www.yahoo.com/tech/us-nsa-spy-agency-halts-controversial-email-sweep-215107654.html
Or do you think they’re just collecting under a different authorization/program?
Binney responded:
Short answer, NO.

This is a farce given the bulk continuous domestic data collection and storage from the Upstream programs: Fairview, Stormbrew and Blarney. [Here’s background on Fairview (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairview_%28surveillance_program%29)/Stormbrew (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STORMBREW)/Blarney (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blarney_%28code_name%29).]

This FAA 702 [Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] has been a charade from the beginning. [Specifically, the NSA is spying on all Americans (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/06/senior-nsa-manager-course-theyre-collecting-everyones-content-well-metadata.html) under Executive Order 12333 (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/06/primer-executive-order-12333-mass-surveillance-starlet), and only talking about Section 702 to confuse people (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/05/nsa-spying-power.html) as to what they’re doing.]

It was a way to make people/congress/judiciary think that they were trying to conform to the law.
And, by spreading false information, which our useless MSM fail to challenge, it’s a way of subverting our republic – all done in secret with only a few people in the know of what really is going on.

Meanwhile in the background, NSA through program “Muscular” was unilaterally tapping the fiber lines between Google and Yahoo and others data centers; so that when they backed up their data between centers, NSA got it all and the companies did not even know that was happening.
Absolutely nothing has changed (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/12/no-nsa-hasnt-stopped-mass-spying-american-citizens.html)

Trump Trolls CBS Reporter to His Face

[Helene West]

Based on the above posts, guess I should tighten up my orange insult jokes. Let's have fun - the country as one big Bill Maher show.

Meanwhile trump is already letting it be known that he misses his old life... lol
We'll have some black lives matter or facsimile dem for 2020 as the pendulum will swing past 180 degrees by then.

But why did the left fall out of grace with the powers that be that they wanted trump?

I thought the left were very good pawns. The banks were happy with barry. Middle class americans can barely afford christmas presents after the incredible family deductibles under ACA. No senator/congressman will ever be able to figure out what the spy agencies are doing thx to the slick move of barry's in the last two weeks of his term.
And best of all, for 8 years they have been bribing the living h*ll out of the american Indian tribal governments to acquiesce to the latest PR - that they have soooo much in common with middle eastern culture that they should/will be the portals for the next onslaught of displaced angry muslim men after the next few years of war. (little known)

So the left were good servants, why take the repub working class conservatives out of mothballs and enlist them for support at this time? Do right of center citizens serve any purpose other than be patsies for the actions of the ruling class?

The globalists have been creating entitlement monsters out of every so-called minority group going for decades, maybe even they didn't want to deal with the non-stop demands. It's rare to see conservative groups protesting they are too busy being work horses. Me and God know how much I work and I watch two of my brothers, both in remission from cancer, work like slaves as so-called managers. I'd be tempted to get more active but I just don't have the time if I want to survive. So it may be that the right is simply more well-behaved/busy. Give them their 2nd Amendment and they will be relieved enough to applaud whatever trump is doing on the globalists behalf.

But you may ask, Is that all it takes? Just give the right the 2nd amendment and they're good to go to war? Of course it's not that simple but the right are targets, in their own country. Middle americans, especially caucasians, are targets for hate and contempt. They are the (not so new) targets of modern racism and though white haters and their sidekicks, white libs, will be derisive of this truth targets usually don't need to be told they are targets. All targets know. They don't need validation from those that hate their guts.

So what's in store?
War > create refugees (just as important as war) > export refugees to western countries > accelerate destruction of western culture > make the western citizens BEG. BEG for savior/solutions a la the NWO menu. Solutions are standing by.
If one has any comfort levels cherish them now. by the end of this administration the 10s of thousands of refugee commodities will be packaged for export and the next administration, with its white hating, american hating, christian hating, etc groups will be only too happy to oblige as even malicious folk can be naive..... If I was younger I'd leave here. Bill picked a good country, Ecuador wasn't a bad choice.
But hey, have any good orange jokes?

Based on the above posts, guess I should tighten up my orange insult jokes. Let's have fun - the country as one big Bill Maher show.

Meanwhile trump is already letting it be known that he misses his old life... lol

Why is it not okay to make fun of or criticize Trump? There is plenty to lampoon.

Is he any better than the Clinton's, Bush or Obama? Did criticism or comedy about any of them bother you?

Trump appears to be heading in much the same direction as the usual cast of warmongers. The only difference I can see is that he doesn't speak as eloquently and has poor fashion sense.

Trump is part of the elite. He was and is an elite billionaire. Why should I believe he gives a darn about working class and middle class people of any colour?

I hope all of us "evil leftists" are wrong about Trump, but so far I don't see anything that indicates his promises are any more real than Obama's "message of hope" that never amounted to anything but a smoke screen for business as usual, war.

Certainly, the man is quite the animated character, which makes himself out to be a target.
Criticism comes with the territory of being a politician.


Trump appears to be heading in much the same direction as the usual cast of warmongers...

I think the jury is still out on this one, at least for me.
Will give him the benefit of the doubt for now.


Trump is part of the elite. He was and is an elite billionaire. Why should I believe he gives a darn about working class and middle class people of any colour?
I wouldn't believe in anything anybody says. Proof is in the pudding, as they say.

There's also the part about believing what the other side says - the side of the story that the MSM spews out continuously - you know, the place from where comes the notions of Trump being a bigot & a racist & a misogynist & a Islamophobe... I would refrain from holding a belief on making that judgment call, as well.

And, of course, criticism will only take you so far, especially if you're attempting to have a good interview with the one that you're criticizing... you could end up getting the boot...

It's kind of irrelevant for anyone to say it's not ok to criticize trump since the media is replete with hardly anything but making fun of him. My comment was acknowledging, based on the links turiya had in the post, that there would be more overkill than usual.
Because someone is rich doesn't mean they belong to the 'elites'. At least to me 'elites' denote ruling, decision making, policy making. People who live in fishbowls, with the public watching their every move, can identify them and their families, know where they live, etc. are not part of the 'elites'. Absolute power is largely anonymous. Just as celebrities hire firms to always keep themselves in the public eye, powerful families have the opposite, they make sure they can traverse the earth freely without the peasantry gawking at them and sticking microphones in their faces, etc. The powerful want separation from the masses not the masses to have access to them. I would venture that billionaire status could merit one possible high ranking management positions in the service of the elites, trumps, bushes, clintons, soros, etc. if they so chose.
Not sure how you got from my post a vindication of trump, but whatever...

Bummer of a tidbit just heard on Rense interview with George Webb.
Rense refers to Ivanka Trump as Princess ivanka and was complaining that she was doing the white liberal faux compassion bs that poor mid east refugees should come here and be set up comfortably, not helped in their own country, and that she was sounding like Angele Merkel.

George Webb responded saying that the inside scoop he was getting and didn't want to commit to it was that trump has been compromised by a film taken in 1983 in manhattan by one of the intel agencies. he didn't want to comment further on what he heard was in the film. I believe Webb wants more evidence as he is a brave, excellent reporter but Webb sounds like he believes trump has been completely compromised.
this is the most recent interview with webb and it is towards the end around the 40:14 mark.

I personally haven't heard Princess Ivanka calling for mid east refugees to come here. I can't imagine trump having a successful rally like he did the other day if his daughter is talking this way. the guy who made 'the wall' famous calling for more refugees to come here? That's a twilight zone of cognitive dissonance i would not be able to process....

Rense gets to be sounding quite negative at times.
Its caused me not to go & listen to his 'whining' - as that is how it feels to me.
I like when he has guests on like Constitutional Attorney Jonathan Emord & Joel Skousen. Guests like these Rense will listen to & will correct his outlook at times.

I've heard about this video thing before... to blackmail Trump.
I would think that if it were true, it would have probably come out during the campaigning, before the election.
Checking... my 'Source' says it's not true.

As for the picture of the proposed Wall, it appears to me that it would only be a matter of time before those 'illegals' that really wanted to get over this thing, they would figure out a way... Initial thought that came to me was to get one of those small circular trampolines and bounce your way over the Wall.... or, maybe go through some pole vault training... that might work.

I hope you're right about the rumored vid. In the past I would have agreed with you that since so many want to get rid of trump if there really was a vid they would have used it by now. But as more of the depths of depravity of Intel have been recently uncovered I can't help wondering that if there is a vid, they are holding it for more leverage against him. time will tell. I'm still disappointed and angered that ivanka and jared appear to have considerable influence. No one was voting for them.

Anyhow in the X22 Report above, Dave makes a statement regarding trump's EO on the National Monuments lands. He says that the reason for the EO was because Clinton, Bush, Obama have legislated to get fed rights to lands to use as collateral to pay off debts. I'd like to know if he is surmising this or has doc evidence or what. I'm interested in the push to impoverish farmers and ranchers and push them off the land and have heard all kinds of speculation why this is being done. I just wish Dave would make a point to distinguish to us in his audios when he is relaying facts and when he is giving his own opinion.

Yes, I'm trying to post the relevant articles that Dave is reporting on. Alot of them can be found on the Zerohedge.com website. Others I've found on the smaller alternative news sites.

You have caused me to go looking into this thing about making federal land collateral for the debt. And I thank you for that.

I've initially found that Snopes calls this a Conspiracy Theory. But the very first thing that comes up is something that had been going on since the mid 80s, which would precede even the Agenda 21 conspiracy notions, this would then be prior to Clinton, Bush Jr. & Obama... Although, 'Daddy' Bush, appears to be the main initiator, along with James Baker & that crowd, certainly Henry Kissinger would be found within the woodwork of this one, as well... posted below...

I consider Wayne Hage one of the most intelligent men I ever met. On our very first visit he was explaining the World Bank, the International Monetary fund and how the world bankers planned on collateralizing the world debt with land. Not just the U.S. national debt, but also the "WORLD" debt. A listener sent me a copy of a report of the FOURTH WORLD WILDERNESS CONGRESS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wilderness_Congress), which was held in Denver in 1987. Over 1500 people from sixty countries were told that wilderness lands were to protect the reindeer, the spotted owl and other endangered species. Ninety percent of the group consisted of conservationists, ecologists, government and United Nations bureaucrats. The other ten percent were world banking heavyweights, such as David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan Bank, London banker Edmund de Rothschild and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, James Baker, who gave the keynote address. George W. Hunt, an investment councilor, served as official host and sat in on all the meetings. It was George Hunt that wrote the report from which I have gleaned much of my information.

During the first three days, the group was told that the WILDERNESS CONGRESS was about beating the ozone deterioration and bringing the rain forests back. The following days were closed to the public. With only the bankers in attendance, the topics discussed centered on the creation of a "WORLD CONSERVATION BANK" with collateral being derived from receipt of wilderness properties throughout the world. This bank would have central bank powers similar to the Federal Reserve. It would create currency and loans and engage in international discounting, counter-trade, barter and swap actions. Rothschild personally conducted the monetary matters and the creation of this WORLD CONSERVATION BANK. This bank would refinance by swapping debt for assets. A country with a huge national debt would receive money to pay off the debt by swapping the debt for wilderness lands. The plan was to swap one trillion dollars of Third World Debt into this new bank. In the long term, when the countries won't be able to pay off the loans, governments from around the world will give title to their wilderness lands to the bankers.

George Hunt wrote:

"Title to the lands will go to the World Wilderness Land Inventory Trust. This Trust will float into the World Conservation Bank (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wilderness_Congress) by the unanimous decree of the world's people, saying, God bless you for saving our reindeer. Those people at the congress were ignorant. They don't suspect anything. They're very naive. Not stupid, ignorant. I'm talking about the 90% that were not the world banking heavyweights."
Hunt goes on to say that World Bank loans, as they stand now, are not collateralized. They're saying, we want collateral, so when we loan-swap this debt, we're going to own the Amazon if you default. They're going to make their bad loans good by collateralizing them after the fact with all of this land and somebody is going to end up with title to twelve and half billion acres.

They have multi-trillions of dollars upon which they can create currencies and loans and they're going to begin to barter and counter-trade and loan-swap against the United States. The World Conservation Bank is a scheme to monetize land. This will function as a world central bank and out of that bank there will grow a one-world fiat currency.

This isn't some scheme conjured up during the Bush and Clinton administrations. The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development was created in 1982. The commission published the "BRUNDTLAND REPORT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Common_Future)," setting the stage for unlimited enactments to take over ecology, and environmental and pollution laws throughout the world. The report stated:

"We will have a proposal for very harsh, quasi-spiritual ecological laws for MOTHER EARTH. A MOTHER EARTH COMES FIRST mentality will arise throughout the world."
When James Baker made his keynote speech in 1987, he stated that,

"No longer will the World Bank carry this debt unsecured. The only assets we have to collateralize are federal lands and national parks." Baker's definition of federal lands includes Heritage sites, of which there are about 20 in the United States. I say "about" 20, because they are being added on a regular basis. As I write this article, Congress is about to vote on a proposed Rim of the Valley National Park that would include over 500,000 acres of National Forest land and 170,000 parcels of private property including many farms and ranches.

At the same time there is a bill before Congress called the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Rockies_Ecosystem_Protection_Act) that would increase the acreage of designated wilderness by 50% in the lower 48 states. *** While our Heritage sites take in quite a large amount of territory, such as Yellowstone National Park and Mesa Verde, the Grand Canyon and the Everglades, other countries have much greater areas. Brazil for example has the Amazon Conservation Complex and Canada has the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. As I write this story, the list includes 851 properties in 141 countries, comprising over one third of the earth's land mass. Will all this land collateralize the world's debt? Probably not, so along comes NAIS (the National Animal Identification System).

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, "The first step in implementing a national animal identification system (NAIS) is identifying and registering premises that are associated with the animal agriculture industry. In terms of the NAIS, a premise is any geographically unique location in which agricultural animals are raised, held, or boarded. Under this definition, farms, ranches, feed-yards, auction barns and livestock exhibitions and fair sites are all examples of premises." That may be the definition some government bureaucrat will give you, but the word "premises" under the "international Criminal Court Act 2002- Sect 4, states:

The word "premises" includes a place and a "conveyance." Why check with the International Criminal Court Act? Because on June 8, 2007, Under-Secretary of Agriculture Bruce Knight, speaking at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, is quoted as saying,

"We have to live by the same international rules we're expecting other people to do."
Throughout the entire Draft National Animal Identification System Users Guide (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/downloads/NAIS-UserGuide.pdf), land is referred to as a premises and not property. A "Premises" has no protection under the Constitution of the United States, while property always has the exclusive rights of the owner tied to it. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution protect property rights.

The word "Premise" is a synonym for the word tenement. A definition of the word tenement in law is:

Property, such as land, held by one person "leasing" it to another. Webster's New World Dictionary 1960 College Edition defines "Premises" as the part of a deed or "lease" that states its reason, the parties involved and the property in "conveyance." Webster then defines "conveyance" as the transfer of ownership of real property from one person to another. It is quite obvious that the bureaucrats in Washington had a very good reason to use the term "premises" and never mention "PROPERTY."

Let's take another look at the wilderness areas and the World Bank's plans to collateralize its loans. While the wilderness areas cover about one third of the earth's surface, they are wilderness areas for a good reason they were useless or difficult to homestead, farm or use in a constructive manner. Worldwide, the best and more valuable land is occupied by farmers, ranchers and people with the ambition to produce. Wouldn't the World Bankers rather have some productive property besides mountains, deserts and swamps?

I am convinced that the word "premise" will put an encumbrance on your deed. The bankers say they want to monetize land. It's your land and my land they want to monetize.

The bankers are in the process of accumulating the wealth of the world. Very few privately owned assets can be termed "real wealth." According to scripture, God made Abraham very wealthy, giving him LAND, CATTLE, silver and gold. (Genesis 24:35) Four thousand years later, wealth continues to be LAND, CATTLE, silver and gold. I don't know where the world deposits of silver and gold are stored, but I'm sure the bankers have them in their control. That only leaves LAND and CATTLE, which I believe could be next on the list. Genesis 47 describes how Joseph had storehouses full of grain to feed the people, but he didn't have a welfare program. During the first year of the famine, Joseph took "ALL THE MONEY" the people had for only one year's supply of grain. The second year he took all their cattle for another year's supply of grain. The next year they said, "We have nothing left but our bodies and our land. Buy us and our land in exchange for food and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh." Genesis 47:21 states, "And as for the people, he removed them to the cities and made slaves of them."

James Madison made a statement concerning how our people could lose our freedom by gradual and silent encroachment by those in power. Is it possible that those in power today are gradually and silently in the process of removing the people to the cities to make slaves of them? Federalizing our land and our cattle would certainly be a step in that direction.

We commonly use two misleading expressions; "money out of thin air" and "government printing press" both imply that our money has no backing. And often, the term "fiat" money is used to imply the same misconception. The truth is that every dollar (FRN) issued by the private banks is backed by the good faith and credit of "We the People."

It is true that the money is created for free by the private banks and it is true that the banks add neither any banking or reserves but; it is not free for "We the People." The banks use our credit which means we are backing the money. If you are wondering why we as a nation; are paying private banks interest and principal for money created via OUR credit - you are catching on - but that's another story!

I have often wondered what the reckoning might look like when we finally begin to default on our national debt. What's on the other side of national bankruptcy? In some other bankrupt countries, we've seen natural resources taken and public infrastructure privatized in leiu of debt repayment. This article provides some other possibilities and a plan for what may be coming:

The above video references the US House of Representatives vote to repeal and replace "Obamacare."

There's argument over who was chanting that.... hahaha


Republican Obamacare replacement bill passes House

After years of debate, the House on Thursday voted to repeal key parts of the Affordable Care Act and replace them with new provisions.
The vote, which President Donald Trump (http://www.cnbc.com/donald-trump/) was planning to tout as a big victory, sends the Republican-sponsored bill (http://docs.house.gov/Committee/Calendar/ByEvent.aspx?EventID=105944) to gut Obamacare to the Senate for consideration.
But winning approval for the bill could be even more difficult in the Senate than it has been in the House, where Republican leaders struggled for nearly two months to wrangle enough votes in their caucus to secure its passage.
It also is expected to lead to bigger increases in the premium prices of individual plans over the next two years than would be seen if Obamacare remained in effect. And it would give wealthy Americans a tax break.
Republicans rushed to vote on the bill without first having it analyzed (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/04/obamacare-vote-heres-what-we-know-about-house-health-care-bill.html) by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which would have provided estimates of coverage losses, premium effects, and costs to the federal budget. A CBO score (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/04/obamacare-replacement-is-impossible-for-cbo-to-score-wh-claims.html) on the bill could come next week — and provide opponents of the bill more ammunition against it.
An earlier effort to vote on the bill was aborted in late March when GOP leaders saw that it would fail to win enough support to pass it. Before that failed effort, the CBO projected the bill would lead to 24 million more Americans without health insurance over a decade, and insurance plan premium rates up to 20 percent higher than Obamacare rates would be in 2018 before dropping.
Since then, the legislation has undergone a series of changes designed to attract support from both the conservative and moderate wings of the Republican caucus.
Hours before the House vote, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi blasted the bill and the GOP. (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/04/watch-pelosi-speaks-ahead-of-house-health-care-vote.html)
"Republicans are again maliciously trying to destroy health care," Pelosi said.
"They have this vote tattooed on them. This is a scar that they will carry," she said.
Indeed, it was fear of repercussions at the ballot box that spooked many Republicans as their leaders urged them to vote for the bill. Polling in March on the original version of the legislation showed that just 17 percent of Americans supported the bill.
That dismal level of support reminded Republicans how Democrats lost control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections after passing the Affordable Care Act that year.
Republicans ever since have vowed to repeal Obamacare. But before November's election of Trump as president, they had been stymied in that effort by President Barack Obama, who could veto any bill that would undo his signature health-care reform law.
Trump on Thursday praised the bill less than an hour before the voting began.
Highlights of the GOP bill



Increase the amount of premium subsidies for younger adults, and reduce the amount for older adults, while allowing subsidies to be used to buy individual plans outside Obamacare exchanges.
Allow older adults to be charged premiums that are five times higher the premiums charged younger adults, instead of the 3:1 ratio established by Obamacare.
Impose a premium penalty for people who do not maintain continuous health coverage.
Convert Medicaid funding for states to a block-grant system.
Give states power to request waivers for insurers that allow them to charge people with pre-existing health conditions higher premiums if they let coverage lapse.
Establishes funding for states that can be used for "high-risk" individuals, or other purposes.

Obamacare has been credited with expanding insurance coverage to about 20 million Americans, and with giving people who have pre-existing health conditions a protection against being denied coverage or charged higher rates by insurers.
The law also established a set of minimum essential health benefits that insurers were required to offer in their plans.
The law accomplished its coverage expansion by subsidizing the purchase of individual health plans for low- and moderate-income earners, expanding Medicaid benefits to more poor adults, and allowing people under age 26 to be covered by their parents' health plans.


Criticisms

Critics have faulted the law on several fronts.
They point to sharply higher insurance premiums in some states for people who don't receive Obamacare subsidies, as well as high deductibles for out-of-pocket health costs for customers of individual plans. They also note that the number of people covered by individual plans is much less than had been originally projected by the CBO.
Many counties in the United States also lack competition among insurers for Obamacare plans. About one-third of U.S. counties have just one insurer offering individual plans.
Many insurers have booked losses on their individual plan business since Obamacare took effect. On Wednesday, the big insurer Aetna said it would exit Virginia's Obamacare market next year, the second time in a month that it had announced a departure from a state next year.
Aetna, which had sold plans in 15 states last year, sold plans in just four states this year. The company said it is still deciding whether to remain in Delaware and Nebraska last year.
In Iowa, one of the states that Aetna will exit, the insurer Medica said Wednesday it may follow suit next year (http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/health/2017/05/03/medica-last-insurer-selling-individual-health-policies-most-iowa-likely-exit/309664001/), which would leave residents in 94 of the state's 99 counties with no Obamacare plans to choose from.
Supporters of Obamacare said Congress should work to improve the program, and not exacerbate its problems by slashing the funding for subsidies and Medicaid.


The bill passed by a vote of 217 to 213. All 193 Democrats voting opposed the bill; they were joined by 20 Republicans voting "no."
"A lot of us have waited seven years to case this vote," House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said shortly before the voting began. "Many of us are here because we pledged to cast this vote: to repeal and replace Obamacare."
"This bill delivers the promises we have made to the American people," Ryan said.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., told MSNBC shortly before the vote began, "We were elected to do this."
After the vote, protesters outside the Capitol building yelled, "Shame, shame!" at members of Congress walking down the front steps.
The bill — which would dramatically change the way the federal government funds purchases of individual health plans and Medicaid — is expected to dramatically increase the number of people without health insurance if enacted into law.
Effect on pre-existing conditions

Thursday's vote came a week after the bill was amended to include a provision that won support from conservative holdouts. That provision would, under certain conditions, undo Obamacare's ban on letting insurers charge people with pre-existing health conditions more for their insurance plans than healthy people.
Moderate Republicans initially blanched at that provision. But on Wednesday a number of them agreed to support the bill after the addition of another amendment that would increase funding designed to reduce the impact of the higher premiums on people with pre-existing conditions. Analysis questions how far that funding may go to cut costs for those Americans (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/04/gops-obamacare-replacement-bill-would-protect-just-5-percent-of-people-with-pre-existing-conditions-analysis.html).
The bill, known as the American Health Care Act, would remove the Obamacare rule requiring most Americans to have health coverage of some kind.

If anyone understands anything POSITIVE about the edited healthcare bill and can translate in plain english I would certainly appreciate it. I'm already hearing all the bad and that the repubs have slit their own wrists regarding maintaining seats in the next elections because of this.
Repubs went to college and law school like thousands of others. They are not stupid people. I need to understand if they have passed a bill that screws people more than they are already screwed and will guarantee that they lose seats, why would they do that?
My old desire for truth is being replaced with a more banal need for just something, somewhere to make sense...
If someone finds something good or positive about the bill I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks

Its difficult to tell how this thing will actually end up looking like. Its first gotta pass the Senate, before it actually becomes a reality. From what I've heard from Trump is that this thing will have several phases to it before it gets to the point to where he would like it to be. Its somehow tied into what he wants to do with the tax reform for the middleclass. And now, ZeroHedge has posted this news about the Senate wanting to do their own repeal of Obamacare... this thing could possibly go til 2018 before it actually gets done... until then - its more popcorn...


Senate To Write Its Own Obamacare Repeal Bill (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-04/senate-write-its-own-obamacare-repeal-bill)

The Republican House spent Thursday afternoon celebrating the passage of a Healthcare bill that nobody has scored, let alone read, and already the Senate has poured cold water over the first and so far only achievement of the Trump administration. The reason: Senate Republicans said they will set aside the narrowly passed House health-care bill and write their own version instead.

I’m constantly amazed by the ability of those in power to create a narrative trusted by a gullible non-critical thinking populace. Appealing to emotions, when you have millions of functionally illiterate, normalcy bias ensnared, iGadget distracted, disciples of the status quo, has been the game plan of the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=bef324d3c1b3ca4c56e0971f6cfae525&creativeASIN=0143109936) for the last century. Americans don’t want to think, because thinking is hard. They would rather feel. For decades the government controlled public education system has performed a mass lobotomy on their hapless matriculates, removing their ability to think and replacing it with feelings, fabricated dogma, and social indoctrination. Their minds of mush have been molded to acquiesce to the narrative propagandized by their government keepers.

“The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.” – Thomas Sowell (https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Poverty-Politics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/046509676X/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=4c62838e76ef421ac6e266f8f815a115&creativeASIN=046509676X)With a majority confused, distracted, malleable, willfully ignorant, and easily manipulated by false narratives, heart wrenching images, and fake news, the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=bef324d3c1b3ca4c56e0971f6cfae525&creativeASIN=0143109936) henchmen have been able to control the masses with relative ease. The unanticipated rise of Donald Trump to the most powerful role in the world gave many critical thinking, anti-big government, skeptical curmudgeons hope he could drain the swamp and begin to deconstruct the massive out of control Federal bureaucracy.

His rhetoric during the campaign about repealing the disastrous Obamacare abortion, cutting taxes, dismantling Federal regulatory red tape, making Mexico pay for the wall, dumping Yellen, favoring higher interest rates, and not interfering militarily in countries who are not threatening the United States, appealed to many libertarian minded people.

I’ve watched with disgust over the last month as the promises of non-interventionism by a presidential candidate have been broken by the third consecutive president. George W. promised a humble foreign policy with no nation building. He had criticized the Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist:

“If we don’t stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we’re going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I’m going to prevent that.”
With 9/11 as a convenient excuse, he invaded sovereign countries based on flawed data, passed the 4th Amendment destroying Patriot Act, allowed neo-cons to create a Orwellian surveillance state, and permitted the military industrial complex to regain its power and control over the political apparatus in Washington D.C. With no Cold War to fill their coffers, neo-cons in Congress, warmongering think tank co-conspirators, military brass and their arms dealer cronies needed to create a new war to keep the racket going.

The War on Terror is unwinnable because you can’t defeat a tactic, and that is just what the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=bef324d3c1b3ca4c56e0971f6cfae525&creativeASIN=0143109936) is counting on. An unwinnable war, like the War on Drugs and War on Poverty, results in never ending funding, no evaluation of success or failure, continuous propaganda designating new enemies whenever convenient, and a narrative questioning the patriotism of anyone who argues against foreign interventionism.

After Bush’s reign of error, the election of a liberal community activist as president surely would result in a dramatic reduction in military intervention around the world. It was so certain, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for just being elected for promising hope and change. He ran against neo-con tool McCain who never met a country he didn’t want to invade. Obama’s words as a candidate echoed those of Bush Jr. before he was placed on the throne by the powers that be.

“We continue to be in a war that should never have been authorized. I am proud of the fact that way back in 2002, I said that this war was a mistake.”After being elected Obama immediately changed his tune about the business of war. He withdrew troops from Iraq as required by the agreement signed by Bush with the Iraq puppet government, but he ramped up the never ending Afghanistan war – now sixteen years old and still not won. The vacuum left by our epic failure in Iraq allowed the rise of ISIS. Obama essentially created ISIS by providing arms to “moderate” rebels fighting Assad in Syria.

By the end of his term, troops were back in Iraq and more are on the way. Obama and a Secretary of State named Clinton decided to overthrow Gaddafi even though he posed no threat to U.S. interests. They have left a lawless chaotic failed state, now home to ISIS, Al Qaeda, and various other terrorist factions.

Obama should have won the Nobel Drone Prize as he launched ten times as many attacks as Bush, killing thousands, blowing up wedding parties, and murdering hundreds of innocent civilians. He bombed seven countries even though we are not officially at war with anyone. He renewed all aspects of the unconstitutional Patriot Act. Edward Snowden (https://www.amazon.com/Citizenfour-Edward-Snowden/dp/B018GVHNE0/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=674e76b277f482ca9fde696c17a4f5d9&creativeASIN=B018GVHNE0) revealed the mass surveillance on all Americans by Obama’s spy agencies.

His continued support for the overthrow of Assad, so Saudi Arabia and Qatar could build a natural gas pipeline to Europe, was thwarted by Putin. Hysterically, after eight years of war mongering and expansion of the warfare/welfare surveillance state, Obama is now portrayed as a pacifist. The fact is Obama, like Bush, filled his role in the imperial empire, policing the world, enriching the military industrial complex, and doing the bidding of his Deep State sponsors.

Now we have Donald Trump, the billionaire champion of the common man, who campaigned on getting out of the nation building business. Where have I heard that before? Exactly one year ago, Trump gave a foreign policy speech laying out his vision for the U.S. role in the world.

“We’re getting out of the nation-building business and instead focusing on creating stability in the world. However, unlike other candidates for the presidency, war and aggression will not be my first instinct. You cannot have a foreign policy without diplomacy. A superpower understands that caution and restraint are really truly signs of strength. Although not in government service, I was totally against the war in Iraq, very proudly, saying for many years that it would destabilize the Middle East. Sadly, I was correct, and the biggest beneficiary has been has been Iran, who is systematically taking over Iraq and gaining access to their very rich oil reserves, something it has wanted to do for decades.”
He scorned Obama and Bush’s foolish attempt at creating western style democracies in 3rd world den of snakes, inhabited by factions of Muslim religious fanatics. He railed against the trillions wasted fighting worthless wars, leaving countries in anarchy, and allowing terrorists organizations like ISIS to fill the vacuum. His arguments sounded like they were being spoken by Ron Paul. He clearly ran as a non-interventionist.

“We went from mistakes in Iraq to Egypt to Libya, to President Obama’s line in the sand in Syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos and gave ISIS the space it needs to grow and prosper. Very bad. It all began with a dangerous idea that we could make western democracies out of countries that had no experience or interests in becoming a western democracy.

We tore up what institutions they had and then were surprised at what we unleashed. Civil war, religious fanaticism, thousands of Americans and just killed be lives, lives, lives wasted. Horribly wasted. Many trillions of dollars were lost as a result. The vacuum was created that ISIS would fill. Iran, too, would rush in and fill that void much to their really unjust enrichment.”
Trump rationally promised to have peaceful relations with the other two nuclear superpowers. He was diplomatic, lucid and non-confrontational when talking about the two countries neo-cons love to hate. His promises of improved relations lasted about as long as it took the Deep State to create a blatant false flag in Syria.

“We desire to live peacefully and in friendship with Russia and China. We have serious differences with these two nations, and must regard them with open eyes, but we are not bound to be adversaries. We should seek common ground based on shared interests. Russia, for instance, has also seen the horror of Islamic terrorism. I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia from a position of strength only is possible, absolutely possible. Common sense says this cycle, this horrible cycle of hostility must end and ideally will end soon. Good for both countries.”There seems to be a common theme when it comes to how all presidents end up doing the bidding of the military industrial complex as soon as they settle into the Oval Office, no matter what they said during their campaigns. Trump is the latest example of talking diplomacy, no nation building, non-interventionism, and not putting boots on the ground, and then doing the exact opposite within weeks of taking office.

The game plan is tried and true. The Deep State either creates or provokes a false flag event to set in motion the pressure to respond militarily. They utilize their propaganda emitting media mouthpieces to spread disinformation and create the opinions of the non-critical thinking masses. Dramatic visual images and a storyline with an evil villain are essential to properly influencing a pliable, easily misled, oblivious public.

The use of false flag events, fake news, and staged graphic photographs to control and manipulate public opinion has been utilized for decades by the Deep State to push the country into military conflict craved by the military industrial complex. We’ve known for almost a century war is a racket, as described by General Smedley Butler (https://www.amazon.com/War-Racket-Americas-Decorated-Illustrated/dp/1523758325/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=c19bddd8a96410e2cc4463a652a859a8&creativeASIN=1523758325) in 1935.

“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.”We were warned by the most respected general of the 20th Century about allowing the military industrial complex to gain control over our government and politicians. Eisenhower experienced the influence of the Deep State from the military perspective and firsthand as president. Sadly, his hopes for an alert and knowledgeable citizenry keeping the military industrial complex under wraps were dashed on the shoals of a purposefully failing public education system and a relentless propaganda campaign championing never ending war.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower (https://www.amazon.com/Eisenhower-Soldier-President-Renowned-One-/dp/0671747584/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=199e17a8bfdd8cbe062e8614f164dfc7&creativeASIN=0671747584) Those controlling the levers of power have understood the power of propaganda since Edward Bernays taught them how to manipulate the public mind with his theories of propaganda in 1928. He believed the masses were driven by biological urges which needed to be channeled and guided by highly intelligent corporate elite overseers. His contempt for the masses was born out in his corporate fascist view of the world.

He believed our dangerous animalistic urges needed to be subdued to keep society sedate and controllable by those constituting the invisible government (aka Deep State). He trained the controllers to use propaganda in order to mold the minds of the masses in a way most beneficial to the state.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.

Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward Bernays – Propaganda (https://www.amazon.com/Propaganda-Edward-Bernays/dp/0970312598/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3f9efe487b2370bae2911d8f39a9543d&creativeASIN=0970312598)The use of propaganda and the flogging of false flag narratives by the corporate media acting as mouthpieces for the Deep State has worked wonders and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of American boys and innocent victims (collateral damage according to neo-cons) around the world. An explosion that sunk the USS Maine was used by William Randolph Hearst and William McKinley to provoke a war with Spain in 1898.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident was a false flag used by LBJ and the war party in 1964 to kick off the Vietnam War, resulting in over 58,000 American deaths, 153,000 Americans wounded, hundreds of thousands mentally scarred for life, and the deaths of over 2 million Vietnamese. For who? For what? The American boys sacrificed on the altar of the Deep State were nothing but cannon fodder in the warped minds of McNamara, LBJ, Westmorland and the rest of warmongering elitists. Only the military industrial complex benefited, as the burgeoning welfare/warfare state resulted in raging inflation during the 1970s.

As time passed, the propagandists have become immensely more sophisticated in their messaging, psychological assessment of a dumbed down American populace, and manipulation of patriotism, symbolism and emotions to run roughshod over those opposing nonsensical, illegal, and immoral military intervention around the world. The most successful technique utilized by the Deep State for the last few decades has been “atrocity propaganda”. Appealing to the emotions of people who have been indoctrinated by government schooling to feel rather than think has been wildly successful in controlling the agenda.


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LmfVs3WaE9Y/hqdefault.jpg

Atrocity propaganda was initially employed to sway public opinion to support the First Gulf War against Sadaam Hussein, engineered by Madison Avenue maggots from Hill & Knowlton on behalf of the Kuwaiti government. In emotional testimony before Congress an unidentified 15 year old girl, who happened to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S., gave false testimony that she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, take the incubators, and leave the babies to die.

This propaganda successfully convinced a clueless public to support our involvement in the Gulf War. With the end of the Cold War, how could the military industrial complex generate immense profits without enemies? Afterwards, Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf was glorified as the brilliant courageous hero. The masses need a hero to worship.

Whether 9/11 was a false flag or a monumental security blunder, it was hijacked by the neo-con faction within the government to wage perpetual war and turn our country into a surveillance state. A critical thinking citizen or honest journalist might wonder how the 342 page Patriot Act, which changed 15 existing laws and created entire new agencies, could be written, debated, and signed into law within 45 days of the 9/11 attack. It almost seemed like it was already written, awaiting the opportune time to implement. The War on Terror had begun. The Deep State managed to create a war against a tactic, which could never be won. It has done wonders for the military industrial complex, as arms industry stocks have risen 400% to 500% since 2001 versus the 100% rise in the S&P 500. War is a profitable racket.

The neo-cons immediately began their propaganda campaign to invade Iraq, even though they had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. There were virtually no religious Muslim zealots inhabiting the country. Hussein hated bin Laden and his ilk. The propaganda machine, driven by Cheney and Wolfowitz, churned out false stories about 9/11 involvement and the imminent threat from Hussein using “WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION”. The Colin Powell show on national TV convinced the fearful American populace to support the invasion of a country who threatened us in no way, without a declaration of war from Congress.


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-dhS5POn_ig/hqdefault.jpg

The invasion of Iraq set the precedent that presidents can wage war around the globe with no legislative approval. The invasion became a reality TV show called Shock & Awe. In retrospect, the Iraq War was either a colossal error of judgement or exactly what the Deep State had in mind. The ultimate financial cost of our Middle East adventures will exceed $6 trillion, while 4,400 young men gave their lives, 32,000 were badly wounded, thousands more are afflicted with PTSD, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed or maimed, all for a worthless cause. Iraq is now a failed state, with Muslim terrorists controlling large swaths of territory.

The warnings from men of stature, integrity and nobility like Smedley Butler, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Ron Paul have gone unheeded by an increasingly dumbed down, iGadget absorbed, intellectually lazy, willfully ignorant, emotionally stunted populace. They question nothing. They believe whatever the boob tube tells them to believe. Their extreme level of normalcy bias allows the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=bef324d3c1b3ca4c56e0971f6cfae525&creativeASIN=0143109936) to maintain control and become outrageously bold in their lies, misinformation, and ability to convince the masses of the most ridiculous narratives. Only one voice in the wilderness remains. Speaking truth to power only creates change if an educated populace says enough is enough.

“How did the American people ever reach this point where they believe that US aggression in the Middle East will make us safe when it does the opposite? How did the American people ever reach the point where they believe that fighting unconstitutional wars is required to protect our freedoms and our Constitution? Why do we allow the NSA, CIA, FBI, TSA, etc. to destroy our liberty at home, as part of the Global War on Terror, with a pretext that they are preserving our liberty?

Why are the lying politicians reelected and allowed to bankrupt our country, destroy our money, and enter wars without the proper consent? Why do the American people suffer in silence and not scream “Enough is enough!”? We’ve had enough of the “humanitarian do-gooders” and the proponents of “American exceptionalism” who give us nothing but war, economic suffering, and less freedom. This can and must be stopped.” – Ron Paul, Swords into Plowshares: A Life in Wartime and a Future of Peace and Prosperity (https://www.amazon.com/Swords-into-Plowshares-Ron-Paul/dp/0996426507/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=1f384e95f5409ffb1c75dd1f6b810fd7&creativeASIN=0996426507)

“The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds, and the tranquil water-way leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky–seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness.” – Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Darkness-Joseph-Conrad/dp/1503275922/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=6676d0fe4c7c717cb425ed5f0271488a&creativeASIN=1503275922)In Part Two of this article I will detail various recent false flag and propaganda episodes which are being used by the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=bef324d3c1b3ca4c56e0971f6cfae525&creativeASIN=0143109936) to push the world toward war. The acceleration of events based on false narratives, appeals to patriotism, and fake news puts the lives of millions at risk, with no comprehension of how they are being manipulated through propaganda techniques refined to a science. Imperial empires always fall due to their hubris and military overreach. We are being led into a heart of immense darkness.

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
(PART TWO) (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/05/the-horror-the-horror-part-two/#more-149295)

by Jim Quinn, posting at The Burning Platform (https://www.theburningplatform.com/)

In Part One (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/04/30/the-horror-the-horror/) of this article I detailed how propaganda has been utilized by the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) for decades to control the minds of the masses and allow those in control to reap the benefits of never ending war. In Part Two I will discuss recent events, false flags, and propaganda campaigns utilized by the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) to push the world to the brink of war.


https://othercriteria.com/img/4c00c508513cf546/banner.png




“We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness” – Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Darkness-Joseph-Conrad/dp/1503275922/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3249d1cb3925b54e467e7155574d0fce&creativeASIN=1503275922)The use of graphic images, electronically transmitted across the world in an instant, along with a consistent false narrative promoted by the captured corporate media, is the preferred means of appealing to the emotions of those who want to believe atrocity propaganda. Instigating a march to war through the use of unfounded fear, misinformation, staged photo ops, and appealing to passions and prejudices was as revolting to Albert Einstein in the 1930s as it is today to normal thinking individuals.

“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.” – Albert Einstein (https://www.amazon.com/Einstein-Life-Universe-Walter-Isaacson/dp/0743264746/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=57f54938de1e21a528119407e5ef891c&creativeASIN=0743264746)It seems the level and intensity of the propaganda campaigns has ratcheted up dramatically in the last half dozen years and appears to be reaching a crescendo as we speak. It’s almost as if the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) is frantically trying to maintain the status quo, even as the worldwide financial Ponzi scheme of debt approaches the point of collapse. The domestic conditions in Europe, North America, and Asia are deteriorating rapidly. The propaganda doled out trying to convince citizens their financial situation is not worsening has failed.

The people realize they have been screwed and continue to be screwed by the politicians, bankers and corporate fascists running the show. This is the major reason Trump was elected. People were desperate for someone who offered them a promise of economic revival and reduced government interference in their lives.

The problem is no one is capable of saving the US Titanic. The iceberg was struck sixteen years ago when the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) engineered a plundering campaign driving the national debt from $5.8 trillion to $20 trillion, and unfunded welfare liabilities to $200 trillion. Unpaid for tax cuts will not save us. Unpaid for shovel ready infrastructure projects will not save us. Threatening foreign countries with tariffs will not bring manufacturing jobs back. Excessively low interest rates will not spur investment, but it will create a pension crisis and impoverish senior citizens.

Devaluing your currency when every country in the world attempts the same “solution” will not work. Passing an Obamacare lite healthcare plan that keeps mega-corporation insurance companies and hospitals in charge solves nothing. The demographic time bomb of boomers turning 65 cannot be reversed. Providing the appearance of normalcy and improvement by artificially boosting the stock and real estate markets to all-time bubble highs only makes the coming crash that much more devastating.

It is clearly evident to me the drumbeat of war is louder than it has been in decades as this Fourth Turning (https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-American-Prophecy-Rendezvous/dp/0767900464/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=61374e1c553ae3604acd1ef3ea120266&creativeASIN=0767900464) enters its ninth year. Every previous U.S. Fourth Turning (https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-American-Prophecy-Rendezvous/dp/0767900464/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=61374e1c553ae3604acd1ef3ea120266&creativeASIN=0767900464) has climaxed with a more horrific war than the previous, as the technological “advances” allow the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) controllers to create cannon fodder more efficiently. The year 2011 seems to have been the nexus for the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) to create new enemies and sow the seeds of discontent and revolution around the globe. U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq in 2011, while troop levels in Afghanistan remained low.

The neo-cons were running out of conflicts to keep the profits flowing. The U.S. economy was headed back into recession as the temporary effects of the Fed’s QE heroin injection and Obama’s massive porkulus plan were leading to the inevitable drug withdrawal and fall back into recession. The Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) managers had to act fast. They needed new enemies, more wars and more QE.

Was it just a coincidence Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in Egypt during 2011 while the U.S. stood by and did nothing? After the democratically elected replacement turned out to be a Muslim extremist, we fully supported the next coup which placed a military dictator in charge. He just got a grand welcome from Trump a few weeks ago. I guess military dictators are OK when they do what we say.

A dictator who had the nerve to not honor the U.S. dollar as the currency of choice in his kingdom, Muammar Gaddafi, was swiftly overthrown and killed by a NATO force led by the U.S. in 2011. A stable country was turned into a terrorist haven overnight. It’s now a lawless hellhole inhabited by ISIS, Al Qaeda, and various other Muslim terrorist factions. Along with the vacuum left in Iraq, Libya became a breeding ground for terrorists, armed by the U.S.

Shockingly, after decades of stability, factions within Syria began a civil war against Assad and his government in 2011. Do you see a connection yet? Just as U.S. military presence in the Middle East began to wane, all hell began breaking out across the region. McCain and his band of neo-con world changers helped arm the “moderate rebels” fighting against the suddenly evil Assad. These moderates became ISIS, who now suddenly became the new bogeyman to be feared by Americans, as professionally produced videos of beheadings and other atrocities began to be disseminated by the mainstream media.

The War on Terror had a new jolt of gusto and increased funding for more military miss-adventures. The propagandists ignored the inconvenient fact Assad was fighting against ISIS and Al Qaeda. They ignored the fact Assad ruled over a secular country – not a country run by religious American hating Muslim zealots. Fighting against Assad and ISIS doubled the arms dealers’ profits.

Then Russia threw a monkey wrench into the Deep State plans. They fully supported Assad as an ally because they need his ports. The real reason Assad was attacked was because Saudi Arabia and Qatar need to build their natural gas pipeline across Syria to reach Europe. Virtually all of Europe is dependent upon Russia to supply their natural gas. The Deep State’s retaliation for Putin’s support of Assad was to overthrow the democratically elected president of the Ukraine who had rejected NATO for a closer partnership with Russia. The U.S. instigated coup and installation of a subservient puppet led Putin to put Crimea under Russian control and support Ukrainian rebels as they fought the new regime. This dramatic increase in tensions between NATO and Russia again generated more profits for the military industrial complex. Missiles and troops are pouring into the NATO countries surrounding Russia.

The American propaganda specialists now had their new enemies. Syria and Russia, with Iran and North Korea providing occasional fear mongering diversions, became the focus of the neo-cons and their pliant media mouthpieces. The false flag downing of a Malaysian airliner over the Ukraine was blamed on Putin and Russia. No radar proof or physical evidence was ever presented implicating the Ukrainian rebels. They were winning the civil war and the U.S./NATO needed to turn world opinion against Putin.

The first attempt at a false flag gas attack in Syria occurred in 2013, as the U.S. backed rebels murdered over 500 innocent victims in an attempt to turn world opinion against Assad and provoke NATO involvement on par with Libya. When this atrocity propaganda failed to work, the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) turned to heartstring pulling photographs of dead and injured children, with a consistent narrative spewed by every media pundit as instructed by the controllers.


http://maggionews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/art-ssdew-ghyyf-nchild.gif

The first atrocity propaganda photo was in 2015, functioning as twofer on the propaganda scale. The picture of a three year old Syrian boy who drowned when his boat from Turkey to Greece capsized was spread across the world on every media outlet for a week as faux outrage against Assad and Putin was ramped up to hysterical levels. The evil Assad had caused this refugee crisis, even though it was the rebels who started the war.

The blame for this tragic death was solely due to his father’s recklessness. The entire family lived in Turkey for three years and was not forced to go to Europe. The father was being funded from a relative in Canada and wanted to go to Europe for dental work. The picture was also used to promote the continued Muslim invasion of Europe. How could Europeans turn away these nice people? George Soros’ master plan was working perfectly.

A year later Aleppo boy was the latest atrocity photo used to reverse public opinion against Assad and Putin, as their military success against ISIS, Al Qaeda and the U.S. supported rebels endangered the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) plan. As usual, the American public swallowed the propaganda, hook, line and sinker. The picture suddenly appeared and was disseminated on every mainstream media outlet in the country for days, with pontificating pundits tearfully portraying Assad as a butcher. No context, no proof he was injured by government forces, and no proof it wasn’t just a staged photo op like previous attempts. This last ditch attempt to convince the world to support a Syrian invasion also failed. This atrocity propaganda game loses its impact on a video game addicted, ADD ridden, SJW populace fairly quickly.

Private citizen Donald Trump was unequivocal in his opposition to Syrian intervention before being elevated to the presidency, as shown in these tweets:

________________________________
Trump’s non-interventionist rhetoric regarding Syria and unwillingness to declare Putin an evil enemy of America during the campaign resulted in an all-out assault by the Deep State to derail his candidacy, falsely claiming he was a puppet of Russia. These unsubstantiated claims and vitriolic propaganda campaign against Trump to elect Deep State candidate of choice – crooked Hillary – led to a heroic effort by the alternate media across the internet countering the mainstream media propaganda with facts and reason.

When the corporate media shills rolled out the “fake news” storyline to discredit the alternate truth telling media, it immediately blew up in their faces, as the majority of the public began to realize the fake news was being plied by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and the rest of the captured corporate legacy media.


http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/20161118_death.jpg

The discontent with the status quo among the normal people in flyover America was so great, it overcame all the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) propaganda, fake news, vast sums of money behind Clinton, and liberal urban strongholds, to elect Donald Trump as an agent of change who would kick the bums out of Washington. The undermining of Trump’s presidency began before he took office as the propaganda machine kicked into overdrive, with non-stop media squawking about Russia hacking the U.S. election in favor of Trump.

There were no facts, no evidence, no substance, but plenty of innuendo, plenty of unfounded accusations, and fake news reports at a fanatical level by faux journalists being paid millions to do their part. Putin as an evil manipulator, controlling Trump, was the meme flogged 24 hours a day by the Deep State to keep Trump on the defensive.

The only question at this point is whether Trump has already been co-opted by the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) military industrial complex or whether he is being manipulated through false flags and traditional propaganda techniques. Based on the slow progress on his domestic agenda of immigration reform, Obamacare repeal, tax cuts, infrastructure spending, and trade reform, it appears Trump decided to take the advice of neo-cons within and outside his administration and distract the masses with some new military adventurism.

The relentless pounding of the Russian hacking narrative put Trump on the defensive. As Syria and Russia were on the verge of crushing the ISIS/Al Qaeda/“moderate rebel” resistance, a new false flag was needed. As MacArthur so accurately described seven decades ago, the incessant propaganda of fear is what enriches the military industrial complex.

“Our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.” – General Douglas MacArthur (https://www.amazon.com/American-Caesar-Douglas-MacArthur-1880/dp/0316024740/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=a378f888af38691a5cc9307f6bc2c845&creativeASIN=0316024740)In Part Three of this article I will discuss how Trump has been co-opted by the Deep State into doing their bidding with military intervention and bullying across the globe. It’s just a continuation of imperialism run rampant. Empires always decline and fall due to military overreach and economic bankruptcy. The American empire will be no different.

The Fed is now pushing to create a narrative that the economy is fine while in the background they are prepping the crash. Aetna CEO says that Obamacare is failing. Yates testifies in front of congress and nothing has been accomplished. Macron wins election which means nothing will change in France and the system will collapse with the EU in charge.

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
(PART THREE) (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/07/the-horror-the-horror-part-three/#more-149578)

by Jim Quinn, posting at The Burning Platform (https://www.theburningplatform.com/)

In Part One (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/04/30/the-horror-the-horror/) and Part Two (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/05/the-horror-the-horror-part-two/) of this article I detailed the decades of propaganda, false flags, and misinformation campaigns used by the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) to gain power and control over the U.S. government. When war or a financial crisis is necessary to keep the profits flowing, events will be steered to such an outcome. With the latest financial plundering operation running out of steam, the Deep State is pushing the world toward global conflict.

If at first you don’t succeed with a false flag gas attack, try try again. Knowing a vast swath of the American populace is incapable of critical thinking or able to discern between fake news and factual events, the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) and their media lackeys unquestioningly promoted the story of children being killed by a sarin gas attack by Assad. The photos of rescue workers helping victims without gloves immediately invalidated the narrative, as the rescue workers would be dead if they handled sarin gas victims without protective gear.

The faux journalists, pretending to be neutral observers, did not question this blatant lie. They did not ponder why Assad would commit such an idiotic atrocity when he was clearly in control of the battlefield and on the verge of defeating his American funded rebel enemies.


https://elshinta.com/upload/article/_6412635404.jpg

The Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) masters of manipulation had been flogging the Russiagate story to such a degree, a large portion of the population actually believed Putin hacked the election and got Trump elected. Despite not one iota of proof or evidence, they had successfully used their propaganda mainstream media machine to keep Trump on the ropes. Putin’s unwavering support for Assad and success in defeating the ISIS/Al Qaeda/American rebel forces made the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) even more desperate.

With Trump’s domestic agenda stalled, this false flag gas attack offered him the opportunity to look tough and distance himself from Russia. He took the bait and launched the 59 missiles into Syria, doing virtually no damage to anything vital to Syria’s war effort. They were launching planes to attack rebels from that base the next day.

The invisible government players achieved victory once again, as it only took three months to turn the non-interventionist candidate into the next war loving president. The overwhelming cheers from liberal and conservative media outlets were deafening. McCain, Graham, Schumer, Rubio, Pelosi and all the usual neo-con suspects were ecstatic. Trump’s poll ratings jumped. The majority of the non-thinking public applauded the tough guy act.

It went so well, Trump was convinced by his trigger happy military leadership to use the Mother of All Bombs on some underground tunnels in the middle of bumfuk Afghanistan. It was all captured on film so it could be played over and over on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and the rest of Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) network TV. The corporate media dutifully provided casualty counts even though they had no way of verifying anything they reported. This was essentially a propaganda film to pump up the spirits of the heavily indebted, iGadget addicted, clueless masses.


http://media.10news.com/photo/2017/04/17/Screen%20Shot%202017-04-17%20at%209.53.56%20AM_1492448068821_58414234_ver1.0_640_480.png

Trump is seeing how easy it is to wage war around the globe, make threatening gestures, order his fleets into attack position, place a $1 billion missile defense system in another country at our cost, and generally act as if he is playing a giant game of Risk, like he did as a rich kid. Everything looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer. It’s much easier being a foreign interventionist and pleasing the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936), than draining the swamp and going to war against the status quo like he promised during the campaign.

Filling your cabinet with status quo insiders is not a recipe for success. His first two military parlays played so well, he decided it was time to teach the crazed midget lunatic in North Korea whose boss. Trump ordered carrier groups to sail towards North Korea. He’s been test firing ICBM rockets as a warning. He’s been threatening China unless they do something to get the height challenged dictator under control. The propaganda machine has been trying to strike fear into the hearts of Americans with bull**** storylines about him nuking the U.S.

Kim Jong Un is a certifiable nutjob. He’s been running the third world country as dictator for the last five years. He’s a blustering fool who constantly threatens, with no actions to back up the threats. Half his missile launches blow up shortly after launch. If he even has a nuke, he has no means of delivering it effectively. The drivel about him hitting the U.S. with a nuke is laughable, but the deceitful neo-cons act as if he could do it.

The mainstream media unquestioningly reports the threat to the western U.S. The Deep State would love to provoke a war with North Korea. They have no concern for the millions of South Koreans who would become the latest collateral damage of the imperialist American Empire. War means profits. Maybe a clash with the Chinese over the South China Sea islands could be arranged. Placing missiles on the border of Russia and conducting NATO war games certainly isn’t provocative.

“They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force–nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others.” – Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Darkness-Joseph-Conrad/dp/1503275922/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3249d1cb3925b54e467e7155574d0fce&creativeASIN=1503275922)The United States is not in danger of being attacked by North Korea, Syria, Iran or a bunch of cave dwellers in Afghanistan. Russia and China are not threatening our vital interests. We spend more on the military than the next seven countries combined, but the narrative sold to the gullible public is how our military has been gutted and needs hundreds of billions more funding. When the cost of past wars and the surveillance state expenditures are included, the U.S. spends in excess of $1 trillion per year.

We have been an imperial power since World War II and have been intervening in other countries’ affairs since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Policing the world is expensive for the citizens, but enriching to those doing the policing and supplying the police. Without a central bank printing press and man-made inflation, American presidents and their Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) backers couldn’t oppress countries throughout the world with the threat of instantaneous annihilation or invade without a declaration of war – as mandated by the Constitution.

“It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.” – Ron Paul, End the Fed (https://www.amazon.com/End-Fed-Ron-Paul/dp/0446549177/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3fe684f435b302e9263b5197d5a71c2e&creativeASIN=0446549177)America’s imperial empire may be more technologically advanced and larger than previous empires, but there is nothing special or new about imperialism. The policy of wielding influence and power through the use of military and economic force by empires over smaller weaker countries has been played out through the centuries. Whether it was the Roman, Dutch, Ottoman, or British empires, they all declined and fell due to military overreach, civic decay, and economic decline.

When I step back and try to analyze our current situation I come to the conclusion our current policies and budget priorities are pure madness. But I feel like the crazy uncle at the family reunion who is shunned and ignored when I bring up the blatantly obvious facts regarding our fiscal situation.


http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IKqQHNWaRhc/TWa5NAAxCtI/AAAAAAAAAFg/sDRcbrfCXt4/s1600/Cut%2Bspending.jpg

Congress just passed a spending bill extension which cuts nothing and increases military spending. The House just passed an Obamacare replacement bill that won’t cut your premiums or copays, and will keep insurance conglomerates, hospital corporations and corporate drug company cartels in charge of your healthcare.

It is business as usual in the imperialistic capital of Washington DC, and the madness will continue until the teetering empire collapses under the massive weight of debt and overreach. Trump is no Tea Party Republican. He’s a big spending, big tax cut, big military, pretend fiscal conservative without the guts to touch entitlement spending or war expenditures – the two budget areas driving the country towards bankruptcy.

“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.” – Ron Paul (https://www.amazon.com/End-Fed-Ron-Paul/dp/0446549177/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3fe684f435b302e9263b5197d5a71c2e&creativeASIN=0446549177)
Trump’s recent conversion into a warmongering neo-con, policing the world with his cruise missiles, MOABs, carrier fleets, and boots on the ground remind me of Apocalypse Now (https://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Now-3-disc-Full-Disclosure/dp/B009GXTG0C/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=5c1f72fb9029e3872ade48e67abf7b69&creativeASIN=B009GXTG0C), one of my favorite movies about imperialism and madness. Francis Ford Coppola’s brilliant movie was a modern day updating of Joseph Conrad’s classic novel Heart of Darkness.

Both the movie and the novel address the evil nature of imperialism, the brutality inflicted on innocent people in the name of spreading democracy, and ultimately driving good men to madness as they attempt to rationalize their allegiance to an imperialist empire bent on profit through the committing atrocities in the name of progress. Rational moral men cannot carry out the orders of sociopathic politicians and generals without ultimately losing their minds.

King Leopold of Belgium formed “The Company” to strip the Congo of its natural resources while enslaving and killing millions from 1880 until 1900. The leaders of imperialist nations practice hypocrisy on a grand scale. While they justify their imperialism with rhetoric about democracy, fighting evil, and doing God’s work, reality is the opposite of the propaganda peddled by the imperialist emperors of evil.

The Kurtz character in the novel and the movie is a brilliant man, selected by his imperial masters for great things and a future at the top of the “Company” food chain. While the men running the show at the top describe their invasion and subjugation of foreign peoples as a benevolent project of civilization, people like Kurtz, who are tasked with the dirty work of suppression and extermination through the use of violence and intimidation, are driven mad in the process.

The young men who do the fighting and killing on the front lines of this so called War on Terror must eventually come to realize they are waging war on behalf of evil men who have lied to them and the American public. Assenting to obvious mistruths and propaganda is essentially co-operating with and enabling evil. When citizens fail to hold their leaders accountable for blatant lies, false narratives, and despicable propaganda storylines, they become evil themselves.

They lie to themselves in order to go along with the crowd and appear normal. By remaining silent as the State operates without constraints, a humiliated populace loses its will to resist evil deeds done in their name. A society of impotent, passive, normalcy bias racked people is easy to control and manipulate. Appearing normal in a world gone made is not a sign of true normalcy, but a sign of madness and abnormalcy.

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.

They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited (https://www.amazon.com/Brave-World-Revisited-Aldous-Huxley/dp/0060898526/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=fad1714a533e9dd14130ae35c9ac9b6c&creativeASIN=0060898526)If Huxley considered American society to be inhabited by millions of abnormally normal people in the 1950’s, I can only imagine what he would think of our deviant, irrational, utterly mad civilization today. In this profoundly abnormal society my views are considered absurd and the ravings of a chicken little. How could I question $1 trillion annual budget deficits? How could I point out the unsustainability of a system with $20 trillion of debt and $200 trillion of unfunded entitlement liabilities?

How could I be outraged by a private bank controlling our currency, debasing its purchasing power by 96% over 104 years, and working on behalf of Wall Street rather than Main Street? How could I question spending $1 trillion per year on military adventurism and policing the world when we are already $20 trillion in debt? Is it too much to ask if we send men to die for a cause, that the cause not be false?

“To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!” – H.L. Mencken (https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Mencken-Fiercest-Literary-Iconoclast/dp/0679728953/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=45290162ec965dfba1bf6d1522612284&creativeASIN=0679728953)
How could I not trust my government to run our healthcare system after seeing how well they run the Veterans Administration, Medicare and Social Security? Why would I not believe politicians of both parties who have lied to me for decades and are completely in the pockets of wealthy special interests? Why shouldn’t I support mega-corporations who have shipped millions of American jobs to foreign slave labor camps, while utilizing lobbyists to game our purposely complex tax system?

It’s crazy talk for me to point out how Wall Street bankers committed the largest control fraud in world history and were rewarded with a $700 billion taxpayer bailout, free money from the Fed, larger market shares, record bonuses, no prosecutions, and now control of the White House from the inside. How could I possibly support “traitors” like Snowden and Assange for revealing the contempt for the Constitution displayed by our government keepers as they illegally conduct surveillance operations against every citizen in the nation? Am I mad for asking these questions?

Kurtz symbolizes the imperialism of empires enforced through the ruthless application of power, craven terror, economic retribution, armed intimidation and military attack. As the empire grows in power, degenerates morally, becomes more corrupt, and develops an overwhelming level of arrogance and hubris, decline and fall are inevitable. Madness and imperialism go hand in hand.

Absolute power with no fear of reprisal from citizens or a free press, combined with man’s fundamental fallibility, lead to uncontrolled dangerous decision making. We are witnessing the perilous effects of imperial hubris as Trump and his arrogant advisors provoke conflict in multiple hotspots across the globe with nuclear armed nations. Imperialists are always sure their malevolent machinations will end in victory. They never consider the potential unintended consequences of their actions, like global war, nuclear annihilation, millions of casualties, or the fall of their empire.

The same arrogance displayed by central bankers, government apparatchiks, crooked politicians, and Wall Street shysters as the 2008 financial catastrophe approached is being displayed today by Trump, his surveillance state cronies, and the neo-cons now running the show in the White House. They believe their “brilliant” strategy, tactics, and propaganda campaign will surely result in success, as their opponents/victims are weaker and not as skilled in diplomatic manipulation and military aptitude.

The Deep State players, who now seem to have gained control over Trump, have no sense of morality, no shame in their blatant hypocrisy, no hesitation in sending men to their deaths based on a fabricated cause, no compunction in lying to the American public, and no guilt while shredding the U.S. Constitution. The object of power is power to these traitorous men.

Many Americans viewed the presidential election as a choice between the lesser of two evils, or the least bad choice. As Trump has broken promises, filled his cabinet with Goldman Sachs cronies, failed to drain the swamp, proven ineffective in legislating, and has now been captured by the neo-con warmongers, the best argument for his presidency has been “at least he’s not Clinton”. That is true. The Supreme Court won’t go further left, taxes won’t go up, the EPA won’t regulate industries out of existence, illegal immigration will be reduced and ridiculous social justice bull**** won’t be pushed down our throats by the Feds.

But let’s face the facts. This is nothing but tinkering around the edges of a bloated government bureaucracy, controlled by powerful men in smoke filled rooms, who have absolutely no interest in changing anything that would impact their financial interests in a negative way. They are doing everything in their power to keep the status quo in place.

The American Empire has been waging war virtually non-stop since the creation of the Creature from Jekyll Island (https://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/091298645X/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=5b32768ff28662e9837fcac6b6ec4f12&creativeASIN=091298645X) (aka Federal Reserve) in 1913. After World War II, as the size of the empire grew to heights never seen in world history, the level of hypocrisy, propaganda, maliciousness, immorality, and hubris has grown exponentially. The madness of the men running this colonial empire is concealed through the moral ambiguity and faux patriotism utilized to confuse and mislead a willfully ignorant populace who long ago relinquished their citizenship responsibilities to men they have never seen and never voted for.

How can we judge the actions of these men to be evil when all societal moral standards and social values have been abandoned? Is there such thing as insanity in a world that has already gone insane? The American Empire is slithering along the edge of a straight razor. Only real judgement enforced by alarmed critical thinking armed citizens can defeat the Deep State (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-State-Constitution-Shadow-Government/dp/0143109936/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=ceb8f68233e9d022c3ca9b709518e81d&creativeASIN=0143109936) at this point.

“I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That’s my dream; that’s my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor… and surviving.” – Kurtz – Apocalypse Now (https://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Now-3-disc-Full-Disclosure/dp/B009GXTG0C/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=thebur01-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=5c1f72fb9029e3872ade48e67abf7b69&creativeASIN=B009GXTG0C)

Sauron Rules in Washington
May 5, 2017 (http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/05/05/)
By Paul Craig Roberts

http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/additional/large/f486_eye_of_sauron_desk_lamp_detail.jpg




“The problem is that the world has listened to Americans for far too bloody long.” — Dr. Julian Osborne, from the 2000 film version of Nevil Shute’s 1957 book, On the Beach

A reader asked why neoconservatives push toward nuclear war when there can be no winners. If all die, what is the point?

The answer is that the neoconservatives believe that the US can win at minimum and perhaps zero damage.

Their insane plan is as follows: Washington will ring Russia and China with anti-ballistic missile bases in order to provide a shield against a retaliatory strike from Russia and China. Moreover, these US anti-ABM bases also can deploy nuclear attack missiles unknown to Russia and China, thus reducing the warning time to five minutes, leaving Washington’s victims little or no time in which to make a decision.

The neoconservatives think that Washington’s first strike will so badly damage the Russian and Chinese retaliatory capabilities that both governments will surrender rather than launch a response. The Russian and Chinese leaderships would conclude that their diminished forces leave little chance that many of their ICBMs will be able to get past Washington’s ABM shield, leaving the US largely intact. A feeble retaliation by Russia and China would simply invite a second wave US nuclear attack that would obliterate Russian and Chinese cities, killing millions and leaving both countries in ruins.

In short, the American warmongers are betting that the Russian and Chinese leaderships would submit rather than risk total destruction.

There is no question that neoconservatives are sufficiently evil to launch a preemptive nuclear attack, but possibly the plan aims to put Russia and China into a situation in which their leaders conclude that the deck is stacked against them and, therefore, they must accept Washington’s hegemony.

To feel secure in its hegemony, Washington would have to order Russia and China to disarm.

This plan is full of risks. Miscalculations are a feature of war. It is reckless and irresponsible to risk the life of the planet for nothing more than Washington’s hegemony.

The neoconservative plan puts Europe, the UK, Japan, S. Korea, and Australia at high risk were Russia and China to retaliate. Washington’s ABM shield cannot protect Europe from Russia’s nuclear cruise missiles or from the Russian Air Force, so Europe would cease to exist. China’s response would hit Japan, S. Korea, and Australia.

The Russian hope and that of all sane people is that Washington’s vassals will understand that it is they that are at risk, a risk from which they have nothing to gain and everything to lose, repudiate their vassalage to Washington and remove the US bases. It must be clear to European politicians that they are being dragged into conflict with Russia. This week the NATO commander told the US Congress that he needed funding for a larger military presence in Europe in order to counter “a resurgent Russia.” https://www.rt.com/news/387063-nato-counter-resurgent-russia/ (https://www.rt.com/news/387063-nato-counter-resurgent-russia/)

Let us examine what is meant by “a resurgent Russia.” It means a Russia that is strong and confident enough to defend its interests and those of its allies. In other words, Russia was able to block Obama’s planned invasion of Syria and bombing of Iran and to enable the Syrian armed forces to defeat the ISIS force sent by Obama and Hillary to overthrow Assad.

Russia is “resurgent” because Russia is able to block US unilateral actions against some other countries.

This capability flies in the face of the neoconservative Wolfowitz doctrine, which says that the principal goal of US foreign policy is to prevent the rise of any country that can serve as a check on Washington’s unilateral action.

While the neocons were absorbed in their “cakewalk” wars that have now lasted 16 years, Russia and China emerged as checks on the unilateralism that Washington had enjoyed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. What Washington is trying to do is to recapture its ability to act worldwide without any constraint from any other country. This requires Russia and China to stand down.

Are Russia and China going to stand down? It is possible, but I would not bet the life of the planet on it. Both governments have a moral conscience that is totally missing in Washington. Neither government is intimidated by the Western propaganda. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said yesterday that we hear endless hysterical charges against Russia, but the charges are always vacant of any evidence. https://sputniknews.com/politics/201705041053274379-lavrov-russia-us-relations/ (https://sputniknews.com/politics/201705041053274379-lavrov-russia-us-relations/)
Conceiveably, Russia and China could sacrifice their sovereignty for the sake of life on earth. But this same moral conscience will propel them to oppose the evil that is Washington in order not to succumb to evil themselves. Therefore, I think that the evil that rules in Washington is leading the United States and its vassal states to total destruction.

Having convinced the Russian and Chinese leaderships that Washington intends to nuke their countries in a suprise attack (see, for example, http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/04/us-forces-preparing-sudden-nuclear.html (http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/04/us-forces-preparing-sudden-nuclear.html) ), the question is how do Russia and China respond? Do they sit there and await an attack, or do they preempt Washington’s attack with an attack of their own?

What would you do? Would you preserve your life by submitting to evil, or would you destroy the evil?

Writing truthfully results in my name being put on lists (financed by who?) as a “Russian dupe/agent.” Actually, I am an agent of all people who disapprove of Washington’s willingness to use nuclear war in order to establish Washington’s hegemony over the world, but let us understand what it means to be a “Russian agent.”

It means to respect international law, which Washington does not. It means to respect life, which Washington does not. It means to respect the national interests of other countries, which Washington does not. It means to respond to provocations with diplomacy and requests for cooperation, which Washington does not. But Russia does. Clearly, a “Russian agent” is a moral person who wants to preserve life and the national identity and dignity of other peoples.


http://curezone.com/upload/_T_Forums/Turiya_Files_/AVALON/TRUMP/THE_FOURTH_TU/SAURON_RULES_WASHINGTON.png

It is Washington that wants to snuff out human morality and beome the master of the planet. As I have previously written, Washington without any question is Sauron. The only important question is whether there is sufficient good left in the world to resist and overcome Washington’s evil.

Global Markets Thrown For A Loop After Comey's Shocking Sacking (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-10/global-markets-thrown-loop-after-comeys-shocking-sacking)

In JPM's initial market comment this morning, reacting to the news of Comey firing, the bank said that "as far as the market is concerned, Comey’s dismissal saps Trump’s political capital and weakens relations w/Congress at the time when he is trying to move an ambitious pro-growth agenda through the Senate and House."

US Sponsored “Regime Change” in Venezuela is Now Official.
US National Security Advisor McMaster
Calls for a “Quick, Peaceful Solution” (http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-sponsored-regime-change-in-venezuela-is-official-us-national-security-advisor-mcmaster-calls-for-a-quick-peaceful-solution/5589364)

By Rachael Boothroyd-Rojas (http://www.globalresearch.ca/author/rachael-boothroyd-rojas)
Global Research, May 10, 2017





United States National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster released an official statement Saturday expressing the need for a “quick and peaceful solution” to Venezuela’s “ongoing crisis”. The press release was made public after McMaster met with Venezuelan opposition leader and current National Assembly President Julio Borges at the White House earlier that day.

It reads (http://venezuela.liveuamap.com/en/2017/6-may-national-security-advisor-mcmaster-met-with-venezuela):
“They discussed the ongoing crisis in Venezuela and the need for the government to adhere to the Venezuelan Constitution, release political prisoners, respect the National Assembly, and hold free and democratic elections.”
The statement has sparked alarm in Venezuela and amongst international movements in solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution. They have likened Saturday’s meeting to a series of similar encounters that took place between US officials and opposition figures just before a short-lived coup against former President Hugo Chavez Frias in 2002.


http://asimismo.com.ve/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Borge-y-vice-de-USA.jpg
[B]Julio Borges and H.R. McMaster

The meeting comes as Washington hardens its stance vis-a-vis the Maduro government. Last week, a bipartisan group of US senators presented a bill to Congress asking for sanctions on more Venezuelan officials (http://www.apple.com/) in a bid to further isolate Caracas in the region.

Violent protests have rocked the South American country since the beginning of April when a stand-off between the leftist national government and the opposition-controlled National Assembly came to a head. So far, 42 people have lost their lives in the unrest, which has seen armed opposition protesters block roads (https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/13098), gun down government supporters (http://www.apple.com/), set fire to public institutions, and clash with security forces. At least 15 people have been killed by protesters, while a further five have died at the hands of authorities. (https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/13081)
Despite the deadly unrest, opposition leaders have said that they will boycott a constituent assembly (https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/13111) called by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as a way out of the impasse and have continued to call for their supporters to take to the streets.

The situation was brought to the attention of the United Nations this past Saturday, after Washington’s ambassador to the UN, Nikki Hayley, took aim at the Venezuelan government, accusing it of a “crackdown” on dissent in an official statement (https://twitter.com/nikkihaley).

Anonymous sources have told Venezuelanalysis that the US is quietly pushing to table Venezuela as a discussion point at the UN Security Council but the move has so far been met with resistance from other nations.

The move to turn up the pressure on Venezuela comes as the United States escalates its military involvement in the region.

Over the weekend, the head of the Brazilian the armed forces, Theofilo de Oliveira, revealed that the US will also lead multinational military drilling exercises between Brazil, Colombia and Peru later this year as part of a 2015 NATO project.

A temporary military base will also be set up in the Brazilian town of Tabatinga on the Amazonian frontier between the three countries as part of the programme, confirmed the armed forces chief.

The military exercises have been described as “unprecedented” in the region (http://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-39826017?ocid=socialflow_facebook#).

Sessions Attacks Obama "Legacy": Rolls Back Relaxed Sentencing Guidelines For Drug Dealers (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-12/sessions-rolls-back-obamas-relaxed-sentencing-guidelines-drug-dealers)

After 8 years of the Obama administration relaxing sentencing guidelines for drug dealers, you know because it's just racist to jail drug dealers moving cocaine by the kilo, and releasing hundreds of hardened criminals from federal prisons around the country, Jeff Sessions has taken it upon himself to undo yet another component of Obama's "legacy."

[@26:15]
Greg Hunter: I mean, this thing cannot go on forever.... I mean, really... Do we run into the risk of some sort of inflection point? And, I don't want you to make a prediction that this ball is going to blow up... or whatever. But don't we run into the risk that this could come undone?

Catherine Austin Fitts: What we're going to talk about now is very important. So, I want to say this carefully.

I voted for Kasich in the Tennessee Primary, I didn't vote for Trump. Now, when it came down to the election I voted for Trump. And the reason I voted for Kasich is because Kasich is very experienced about the budget. He knows the budget in detail and he understands the politics of what it takes to turn the budget in a way that will make it easy for the establishment to work with him. Okay....

Now Trump doesn't have that knowledge, he doesn't have that experience, and if you look at his style, its a style that many people that you have to work with on the budget are uncomfortable with. Okay...

So asking Trump to do it, puts him in a dangerous position.

Now, the reason I voted for Trump - I became completely convinced, Greg, that Washington wasn't listening, and that we were at an inflection point & it would be better to destroy the whole system, than to let it keep going as it was.

So, we were better off with the U.S. government completely imploding than continuing along, you know... with another four years of disappointments.

So, not only would I vote for Trump again, I would vote for him... he's done much better than expected in the first month. Somebody with no government experience to do as well as he's done is quite extraordinary...

Greg Hunter: Wow! Coming from you, that's a big deal.

Judicial Watch: New Clinton Emails Reveal
Clinton Knew about Security Risk of Private
BlackBerry, Avoided Use of Secure Phone (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-new-clinton-emails-reveal-clinton-knew-about-security-risk-of-private-blackberry-avoided-use-of-secure-phone/)

MAY 12, 2016

Clinton: ‘no blackberry permitted in my office’
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 296 pages (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/tag/huma-email/) of new State Department documents, including a February 27, 2009, (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-7-00684-pg-233-298-9882/) email in which the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized to health care activist/physician Mark Hyman for failing to respond to a message because,


“no blackberry contact permitted in my office.”

The new documents also contain a February 22, 2009, email exchange (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-7-00684-pg-100-232-9752-59/) between Clinton and her then-Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, trying to communicate over a secure line after Clinton returned from a trip (evidently to Asia (http://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/trvl/2009/116166.htm)). Unable to set up a secure communication, Clinton told Mills, “I called ops and they gave me your ‘secure’ cells… but only got a high-pitched whining sound.” When Mills suggested that Clinton try the secure line again, the former secretary wrote back, “I give up. Call me on my home #.”

The previously unreleased Clinton emails date back as far as January 2009 (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-7-pre-march-2009-00684/) and further contradict statements by Hillary Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department and that she did not use her clintonemail.com system until March 18, 2009 (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/03/10/timeline-hillary-clintons-email-chain/). The new Clinton emails cover topics such as: the administration’s Iran policy; Obama’s stimulus program; the sharing of “management issues” with “Maggie” Williams, former campaign manager for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign; confusion over voice mail versus text messages; image coaching from 2008 campaign advisor Doug Hattaway; and a thank you note from Mark Hyman (http://www.onbeing.org/program/mark-hyman-james-gordon-and-penny-george-the-evolution-of-medicine/8183) for “opening the door” for a Senate hearing on functional medicine; as well email detailing incoming calls from China and Russia. The new Clinton documents also include a censored email that shows Clinton and Cheryl Mills were contacted by Maria Haley, a longtime Clinton aide (since deceased) who was implicated the Chinagate (http://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/23/us/appointee-of-clinton-pushed-deal-sought-by-a-big-donor.html?pagewanted=2&pagewanted=all) scandal.

The documents were obtained in response to a court order (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-jan-11-order-00684/) from a May 5, 2015, lawsuit (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-files-seven-new-foia-lawsuits-against-state-department-to-force-release-of-clinton-emails-other-secret-email-records/) filed against the State Department (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-00684-abedin-non-state-emails/) (No. 1:15-cv-00684)) after it failed to respond to a March 18 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:


All emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013 using a non-“state.gov” email address.

An email from former Democratic National Committee Treasurer Andrew Tobias asks top Clinton aide Huma Abedin to pass along to the secretary his idea for restoring U.S. prestige abroad. Tobias recommended serving a billion dollars (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-huma-production-7-00684-pg-1-99-8769/) a year of “complementary hot chocolate, iced tea, and lemonade” to international tourists standing in line at U.S. airports. According to Tobias, the refreshments would generate “substantial international goodwill.” The State Department records indicate Abedin printed out and forwarded the emails.

“This drip, drip of new Clinton emails show Hillary Clinton could not care less about the security of her communications,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “How many other smoking gun emails are Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the Obama administration hiding from the American people?”

Last week (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-lawsuit-uncovers-more-hillary-clinton-emails-withheld-from-state-department/) Judicial Watch released other State Department emails (one batch of 103 pages (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-5th-production-huma-emails-00684-3/), the second of 138 pages (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-6th-production-huma-emails-00684/)), with newly discovered Clinton emails also going back as far as January 2009.

In March, Judicial Watch released (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-lawsuit-uncovers-new-hillary-clinton-email-withheld-from-state-department/) Clinton State Department emails dating from February 2009 that also call into question her statements about her emails. Those emails contained more evidence of the battle between security officials in the State Department, National Security Administration, Clinton and her staff over attempts to obtain secure BlackBerrys.

Hillary Clinton has repeatedly stated that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in other Judicial Watch litigation, she declared under penalty of perjury (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-hillary-clinton-submits-email-information-to-court-under-penalty-of-perjury/) that she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.” This new email find is also at odds with her official campaign statement (https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2015/07/13/email-facts/):

On December 5, 2014 (http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/2015/03/HRC-staff-QA-pdf.pdf), 30,490 copies of work or potentially work-related emails sent and received by Clinton from March 18, 2009, to February 1, 2013, were provided to the State Department. This totaled roughly 55,000 pages. More than 90% of her work or potentially work-related emails provided to the Department were already in the State Department’s record-keeping system because those e-mails were sent to or received by “state.gov” accounts.

Early in her term, Clinton continued using an att.blackberry.net account that she had used during her Senate service. Given her practice from the beginning of emailing State Department officials on their state.gov accounts, her work-related emails during these initial weeks would have been captured and preserved in the State Department’s record-keeping system. She, however, no longer had access to these emails once she transitioned from this account.
The Associated Press previously reported (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f80adbe482e14366ad1cec38f597db86/officials-more-work-emails-clintons-private-account) that the State Department received from the Department of Defense emails between Clinton and General David Petraeus that also predate March 2009. Those emails have not been released to the public.

On August 10, 2015, Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-hillary-clinton-submits-email-information-to-court-under-penalty-of-perjury/) announced that the State Department submitted to the court a sworn declaration (http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-hillary-declaration-01363/) from Clinton regarding federal records on her controversial email system. The declaration states:

I, Hillary Rodham Clinton, declare under penalty of perjury that the following is true and correct:


While I do not know what information may be “responsive” for purposes of this law suit, I have directed that all my e-mails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or potentially were federal records to be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.

***
As a result of my directive, approximately 55,000 pages of these emails were produced to the Department on December 5, 2014.

***
Cheryl Mills did not have an account on clintonemail.com. Huma Abedin did have such an account which was used at times for government business.

The document is signed by “Hillary Rodham Clinton.” The State Department was ordered (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/all-clinton-records/) by US District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan on July 31 to request that Clinton and her top aides confirm, under penalty of perjury, that they have produced all government records in their possession and to return any other government records immediately.

Trump continues to create chaos, playing with the media and keeping them busy on non-sense. Trump warns Comey don't leak anything your conversation might have been recorded. Wikileaks wants the recordings of Comey offering $100,000. The Clinton team planned the Russian collusion story right after she lost the election. Condoleezza Rice admits that going into Iraq was not about democracy it was about regime change. Former NSA director Hayden wants to cut off Russia gas supply to Europe. China invites South Korea and NK to the discussion of the silk road trade deal. South Korea wants to pause sanctions on NK. Safe zone are now being used in Syria to keep the civilians safe, these are not no fly zones. A major cyber attack hit many countries and this attack is holding computers ransom and demanding money.

It turns out these narratives were completely invented by Hillary Clinton within 24 hours after she lost the election. The details are laid out in the new book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign”. First the book explains what a difficult time Hillary had explaining to friends and family why she lost.

‘Shattered’ Revelation: Clinton Campaign
Hatched Russian Hacking Narrative
24 Hours After Hillary’s Loss (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/21/shattered-revelation-clinton-campaign-hatched-russian-hacking-narrative-24-hours-after-hillarys-loss/)

http://media.breitbart.com/media/2017/04/Bill-Clinton-Hillary-Clinton-Tim-Kaine-Nov-9-2017-Getty-640x480.jpg

by Jerome Hudson (http://www.breitbart.com/author/jerome-hudson/)
21 Apr 2017





The new Clinton campaign tell-all, Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign (https://www.amazon.com/Shattered-Inside-Hillary-Clintons-Campaign/dp/0553447084?tag=breitbart035-20), reveals how Hillary Clinton personally placed blame for her bruising defeat on Russian meddling “within twenty-four hours of her concession speech.”
The blistering behind-the-scenes book, by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, illustrates how Hillary Clinton furiously blamed her defeat on the FBI investigation into her private emails, Russian interference, and Trump’s supposed support from “white nationalists.”

From Shattered (https://www.amazon.com/Shattered-Inside-Hillary-Clintons-Campaign/dp/0553447084?tag=breitbart035-20):


On a phone call with a longtime friend a couple of days after the election, Hillary was much less accepting of her defeat. She put a fine point on the factors she believed cost her the presidency: the FBI (Comey), the KGB (the old name for Russia’s intelligence service), and the KKK (the support Trump got from white nationalists).

“I’m angry,” Hillary told her friend. And exhausted. After two brutal campaigns against Sanders and Trump, Hillary now had to explain the failure to friends in a seemingly endless round of phone calls. That was taking a toll on her already weary and grief-stricken soul. But mostly, she was mad— mad that she’d lost and that the country would have to endure a Trump presidency.
The authors detail how Clinton went out of her way to pass blame for her stunning loss on “Comey and Russia.”

“She wants to make sure all these narratives get spun the right way,” a longtime Clinton confidant is quoted as saying.

The book further highlights how Clinton’s Russia-blame-game was a plan hatched by senior campaign staffers John Podesta and Robby Mook, less than “within twenty-four hours” after she conceded:


That strategy had been set within twenty-four hours of her concession speech. Mook and Podesta assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.
The Clinton camp settled on a two-pronged plan — pushing the press to cover how “Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign, overshadowed by the contents of stolen e-mails and Hillary’s own private-server imbroglio,” while “hammering the media for focusing so intently on the investigation into her e-mail, which had created a cloud over her candidacy,” the authors wrote.

“The press botched the e-mail story for eighteen months,” one person who was part of the strategy is quoted as saying. “Comey obviously screwed us, but the press created the story.”

The book also details Clinton’s confusion and frustration with President Obama, whom she apparently thought didn’t do enough “to apprise the public that the Russians had gone way beyond what had been reported”:


She wondered why the president hadn’t leaned harder into making the case that Vladimir Putin was specifically targeting her and trying to throw the election to Trump. “The Russia stuff has really bothered her a lot,” one of the aides said. “She’s sort of learning what the administration knew and when they knew it, and she’s just sort of quizzical about the whole thing. She can’t quite sort out how this all played out the way that it did.” On the long list of people, agencies, and international forces Hillary blamed for her loss, Obama had a spot.
Elsewhere, however, Allen and Parnes provide polling numbers and other raw data that pinpoint the precise reason why Clinton lost — hint: it’s not Russia — men and working class Democrats in Pennsylvania turning to Trump, and how he simply outperformed her with white voters in battleground Florida:


Exit polls in Pennsylvania showed that Clinton and Obama won women by thirteen-point margins in 2016 and 2012, respectively. But in a state that has never elected a woman governor or US senator, men favored Trump by seventeen points— a massive increase over Mitt Romney’s three-point edge in 2012. From a geographical perspective, Hillary did better than Obama in Philadelphia and its surrounding suburban counties but lost working-class Democratic strongholds in Erie and Luzerne Counties that Obama had carried.

In Florida, Trump crushed Hillary in the suburban swing areas outside Tampa and St. Petersburg. As he did nationally, Trump did better with white Floridians than Romney had, doubling up Clinton at 64 percent to 32 percent. Romney had beaten Obama 61 percent to 37 percent among Florida whites.
Clinton also lost the reliably-Democratic state of Wisconsin, where she had “had been blown out by Bernie Sanders in the Wisconsin primary” and failed to campaign for months after her party’s national convention:


Turnout in Milwaukee, the key vote center for Democrats in Wisconsin, was off by sixty thousand or so votes from 2012, and nearly three dozen counties in the state saw the partisan margin from that year flip by 20 percentage points or more in 2016. Trump won 52 percent to 41 percent in Brown County, home of Green Bay, site of the visit that Hillary and Obama canceled after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. Obama had won the county by nine points in 2008 and lost it by two points in 2012. Hillary, who had been blown out by Bernie Sanders in the Wisconsin primary, never set foot in the state. Lastly, Shattered examines how Trump turned Michigan — a state that had been blue since 1992 — into a red state:

About a dozen counties in Michigan flipped from Obama to Trump, but one mattered most. Macomb County, flush with working- and middle-class whites, gave Trump more than his statewide margin of victory. Obama won the county by 16,103 votes in 2012; Trump took it by 48,348 votes, or about four times his statewide margin.

Strange this book 'Shattered' has been out almost a month and this is the first I'm hearing of it. I hope the Breitbart article gives it some traction. Not that it will speak to the spite workers of the left but it's good it's out there.

Even Wikileaks only posted a Tweet about the book "Shattered" on May 11, 2017. So I would say, look for this thing to get some traction. Granted the authors are coming from within the Clinton campaign. They are also part of those that were 'Shattered' when Trump won the presidency. Note, the few interviews that the authors have given, they don't follow what they had written. They've said the Russian interference was a big issue well before the election took place... They will be wanting to have their book sell, so we'll have to see if they're going to change their tune...

Comey, You’re Fired! (https://grrrgraphics.wordpress.com/2017/05/10/comey-youre-fired/)

Posted on 05/10/2017 (https://grrrgraphics.wordpress.com/2017/05/10/comey-youre-fired/) by GrrrGraphics (https://grrrgraphics.wordpress.com/author/grrrgraphics/)
https://grrrgraphics.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/trump_fires_comey_ben_garrison.jpg?w=640
James Comey has been fired by President Trump.
It’s a good first step toward draining the swamp.


Comey refused to prosecute crooked Hillary Clinton because he said Hillary had no ‘intent’ to commit crimes. Comey had no right to decide Clinton’s guilt or innocence. That should have been left to the courts. The evidence against Hillary was overwhelming, and she still needs to be locked up. Intent has no bearing on case.

Comey also claimed he was looking into Trump’s ‘Russian’ connections, which were non-existent. Hillary invented the Russian story to deflect from her criminal activity while also providing her a convenient way to blame ‘Russian hackers’ on her defeat. The corrupt mainstream media breathlessly spread this fake news. Hillary had more to do with Moscow than Trump ever did. Bill Clinton raked in $500,000 for a speech there. Shortly thereafter Hillary allowed a Russian company to gain control of a large percentage of US uranium reserves. Classic pay for play. But Comey didn’t investigate that, which was a real scandal—oh no. Comey allowed the FBI to become a political tool for his deep state masters.

Comey was also a bumbler. He repeatedly failed to pursue chances to end incidences of Islamic terrorism. He granted Hillary’s aides immunity unnecessarily and allowed evidence to be destroyed. He didn’t investigate Obama’s scandals. He was, after all, appointed by Obama.

Let’s hope Trump continues to drain the swamp. Firing Comey is a good first step.

Arizona Passes Bill To End Income Taxation On Gold And Silver (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-13/arizona-passes-bill-end-income-taxation-gold-and-silver)

Sound money advocates scored a major victory on Wednesday, when the Arizona state senate voted 16-13 to remove all income taxation of precious metals at the state level. The measure heads to Governor Doug Ducey, who is expected to sign it into law.



Ron Paul noted, “HB 2014 is a very important and timely piece of legislation. The Federal Reserve’s failure to reignite the economy with record-low interest rates since the last crash is a sign that we may soon see the dollar’s collapse. It is therefore imperative that the law protect people’s right to use alternatives to what may soon be virtually worthless Federal Reserve Notes.”



“We ought not to tax money, and that’s a good idea. It makes no sense to tax money,” Paul told the state senators. “Paper is not money, it’s a substitute for money and it’s fraud,” he added, referring to the fractional-reserve banking practiced by the Federal Reserve and other central banks.

IMF Seized 80% of Ukraine’s Gold and Foreign Exchange Reserves to Pay off Debts (http://www.stalkerzone.org/imf-seized-80-ukraines-gold-foreign-exchange-reserves-pay-off-debts/)

https://i0.wp.com/www.stalkerzone.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1-18.jpg?resize=282%2C232

The National Bank of Ukraine revealed the shocking secrets concerning the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the country. The former head of the Ukrainian currency regulator Sergey Arbuzov stated that Ukrainian gold (the international gold and foreign exchange reserves) doesn’t belong to the country any more. 75% of all Ukrainian reserves are under the control of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)1 as repayment of numerous debts on loans granted to the country.





“In three years the foreign exchange reserves lost 15 tons of gold. But ‘plus’ $10 billion of national debt,” wrote Arbuzov.

According to Arbuzov, from 17.2 billion dollars of gold and foreign exchange reserves, Kiev possesses 4 billion, and this sum constantly decreases. Thus, the IMF has total power over the national economy.

A Quick Look at President Trump and the Big Picture (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/15/a-quick-look-at-president-trump-and-the-big-picture/#more-150347)

Guest Post by Scott Adams (http://blog.dilbert.com/post/160699204216/a-quick-look-at-president-trump-and-the-big)

Let’s take a look at the things that are going well for President Trump, and the things that are not, and see if there is a pattern. Here I will include topics that are not necessarily the president’s accomplishments or faults. I’ll simply describe the current state of things.

Things That Are Positive
The economy
Trade deals
China relations
Russia (our frenemy) is working with the U.S. on Syria, North Korea
China is putting pressure on North Korea
Jobs
Healthcare progress (more to do)
Supreme Court nominee confirmed
Tax reform maybe
Optimism for an Israeli-Palestinian “deal”
Safe Zones coming along for Syrian refugees
Illegal immigration down over 70% because of Trump’s persuasion alone.
Business confidence high.
Things that are Negative
Unproven allegations of Russian collusion with Trump campaign.
Trump claims he invented the phrase “prime the pump.”
Trump tweeted a warning that Comey better be careful what he says because he might have been taped in the White House. But such recordings haven’t been confirmed. Or denied.
Critics say Trump is crazy.
Trump claimed his campaign had been “wiretapped” by Obama, but it might have been only incidental surveillance. Or not. We’ll probably never know.
Critics say Trump is a loose cannon.
Critics say “words matter” and Trump is careless with words.
Trump’s approval rating is abysmal.
There is “chaos” in the White House
Trump doesn’t study topics in detail.
Trump might fire people on his staff for various reasons.
There is in-fighting with Trump’s staff.
Trump got two scoops of ice cream when others got one.
Trump threatened to end press briefings but probably didn’t mean it.
Trump is influenced by whoever gives him the latest article that is sometimes fake news.
Trump calls the mainstream media fake news.
Trump has criticized the courts, judges, and anyone else you are not supposed to criticize as a president.
Health care didn’t get passed on the first try. And still needs work.
Trump will be impeached or jailed any day now for whatever.
Trump keeps relying on trusted family advisors such as Jared Kushner and Ivanka.
Trump fired Comey as both sides wanted, but his timing raised suspicions, and he talked about it wrong in an interview. Also didn’t coordinate with his communication staff.
Trump says things that do not pass the fact-checking.
Trump doesn’t realize that his business skills don’t translate into government. (This was the same reason people said he couldn’t win the election.)
Things that Might Be Good or Bad (Depending on your Point of View)
Trump is prioritizing jobs over climate risks in the near term.
Trump is reducing government regulations.
Trump is moving responsibility for several topics to states, per the Constitution.
Did you find the pattern?

All the important stuff is trending positive. Trump is not the sole cause of all that goodness, but he hasn’t broken anything important. That counts too. We’ve had plenty of presidents who broke stuff. Think of Nixon’s price caps, Carter’s hostage rescue mission failure, and Bush-the-younger’s Iraq war. When presidents don’t break anything, that’s a big deal

The topics that are problematic for President Trump include unconfirmed gossip, rumors, fake news, irrational worries, imaginary problems, trivial matters, and simple differences in political priorities.

As I recently said on Twitter, President Trump’s approval rating is low, but that can be explained two ways. One explanation is that the president is not doing a good job and people can see it with their own eyes. The other explanation is that citizens are actually grading their own cognition and don’t realize it.

What’s it look like to you?

According to a report by Axios this morning (https://www.axios.com/scoop-trump-irked-at-cabinet-and-staff-mulls-sweeping-shake-up-2407137307.html), President Trump is reportedly considering a "huge reboot" of his core staff and cabinet members that could lead to the termination of everyone from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon, to counsel Don McGahn and press secretary Sean Spicer: "He's frustrated, and angry at everyone."

Our economy is very different in 2017: "unemployment is near historic lows; quit rates, which show how confident workers are in their ability to find new jobs, are back to pre-crisis levels: wage rates are finally rising; and the Fed has begun raising interest rates." Whether or not we're back to full employment is for the economists to debate, but Krugman notes, "the economic engine no longer needs a fiscal jump-start. This is exactly the wrong time to be talking about the desirability of bigger budget deficits."

I have to keep coming back to things like this:

...which tell me that the man in the White House is subhuman.
And the same goes for the Clintons,so as far as I'm concerned, we are still stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And will continue to be until we have leaders who represent the best in humankind instead of the worst.





What’s it look like to you?

[TargeT]

...which tell me that the man in the White House is subhuman.


Because he teased someone? because he uses logical fallacy like everyone else?

I guess all my kids are subhuman....

Or maybe PC culture is blowing things out of proportion.

I guess I don't care if he mocks someones physical disability.

I walk with a limp now, have for about two years.. people give me **** for it... wait, that's the same thing right? those damn subhumans...


what standards are we using here? does PC culture do anything useful?


this seems like a strange minor thing to get hung up on, especially when he's bombing countries and sending more troops to Afghanistan..

This has been something that Hillary Clinton & the Liberal MSM news has totally concocted. And those that have not spent any time willing to go into how this has been done - like, Meryl Streep - should be willing, or have enough guts, to apologize for not doing their own research on this particular matter. There have been plenty of videos available that have debunked this nonsense!

For example:

This has been something that Hillary Clinton & the Liberal MSM news has totally concocted.

I agree, but even if he did.... I mean he clearly teased Rosey O.... is "teasing" a capitol offense now?

Shame used to be a powerful tool in society, we used it instead of violence... Why does PC culture want to get rid of it? I can't think of any good reason.

Well yeah, this is true... Sometimes its rather difficult to draw the line as to where a disability begins & where it ends...

I suppose some could look at Rosie O'donnell as having a disability. In that sense, we are all disabled to one degree or another.

When one considers not only what obama has gotten away with but all the groveling butt-kissers he was/ and still is surrounded by constantly, and the torture that trump is going through - can anyone honestly say all this is Bereft of racism?

Many whites are desperate to not belong to the targeted group that they are overcompensating and becoming Targeters themselves. That is how many young whites feel SAFE today. That is how they are handling the real racism, they are white and becoming white haters. That is the pernicious psychological training.

Quiet reflection on how the president is being treated.
Is it all about trump or is there a message to white right of center citizens? Trump could have been a decent president especially considering what he inherited and the Hypermalice and traitors he is surrounded by. I've lived through several decades of presidents and he is no worse at the very least than clowns and creeps we've had in the past.

It's a terror campaign of sorts being directed at him and I don't believe it's all about trump. Domestic terrorism and the irony it's being directed at the president of the U.S., it's non-stop - to make it a new normal.

Strategic Syria policy, removed from Mattis and McMaster, likely now lies with Tillerson and Lavrov (https://www.sott.net/article/351093-Strategic-Syria-policy-removed-from-Mattis-and-McMaster-likely-now-lies-with-Tillerson-and-Lavrov)

There can be no doubt — strategic Syria policy now lies with Rex Tillerson and Sergei Lavrov, who have been mandated to follow up the Astana de-escalation process. And in the recent talks in Astana, unlike before, the US had a senior diplomat attend and observe the talks - an Assistant Secretary of State.
In brief, the baton has passed from the Generals Mattis (http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/pentagon-seeks-permanent-war-iraq-afghanistan-and-syria-1080897678) and McMaster, from the sphere of military intervention primarily, to the primacy of negotiations. To make this clear, Trump said explicitly (http://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2017/04/11/trump-exclusive-were-not-going-into-syria.html) in the wake of the Tomahawk attack: "We're not going in to Syria" — implying that the strike was a one-off action.

Hong Kong: A cybersecurity researcher appears to have discovered a "kill switch" that can prevent the spread of the WannaCry ransomware -- for now -- that has caused the cyberattacks wreaking havoc globally, they told AFP Saturday.
The researcher, tweeting as @MalwareTechBlog, said the discovery was accidental, but that registering a domain name used by the malware stops it from spreading.

I have to keep coming back to things like this:
9hEQKqFgfAg
...which tell me that the man in the White House is subhuman.
And the same goes for the Clintons,so as far as I'm concerned, we are still stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And will continue to be until we have leaders who represent the best in humankind instead of the worst.


And this post may be a demonstration of being improperly informed...

EDIT ADDED: I see that several other responses above this post covered it... my post may be deleted as it is redundant.

Following up on my above post's contention that the terror campaign ostensibly against Trump is really against a segment of the american population, Greg Hunter's guest, financial analyst, Gregory Mannarino, says the dollar is responding to the internal conflicts in America. The dollar has been the flight to safety for the world but the world is watching the disgraceful dissension and it is being dumped!

Below is excerpt from USAWatchdog.com and link to full interview below:

"...According to Mannarino, this battle for America is having a negative effect on the dollar. Mannarino points out, “This is getting zero coverage on the mainstream media (MSM) right now, and that is what is happening to the U.S. dollar. Lots of people don’t realize this, but the dollar is being dumped right now—dumped bigtime by investors all over the world. Even people on CNBC are sitting there and asking what’s going on with the dollar? This is the side effect of what is occurring geopolitically because of this internal war that is occurring, this internal war. Could this turn around in a few days? Sure it could, but there always lies the possibility that this could gain momentum, and the dollar could sell off even further. It’s no secret that the U.S. dollar is a unit of debt, and it will someday achieve its real intrinsic value of zero. .."

I just wanted to post a small note: something significant appears to be going on with regard to 4Chan, the image and meme building website which has become a significant cultural marker since the middle of the last decade.

They were shut down in late February when, allegedly, someone posted a picture of an ET taken in New Mexico northwest of Luke Air Force Base, near a secret, underground laboratory. The narrative was that the picture was sanitized and the board put back into operation after a couple of hours.

The same thing may going on today, with regard to their Paranormal Board. However, the entire 4Chan site has been frozen for a couple of hours. Some wag at 4Chan put a party hat on the "black eyed child" that is at the front of the Paranormal page to indicate that that may have been the source of what happened today.

Or, they may be just experiencing a systemwide server problem. This is speculation on my part, but that board is definitely monitored by our friends in the Deep State, so nothing would surprise me.

Just an FYI.

[section9]

When one considers not only what obama has gotten away with but all the groveling butt-kissers he was/ and still is surrounded by constantly, and the torture that trump is going through - can anyone honestly say all this is Bereft of racism?

Many whites are desperate to not belong to the targeted group that they are overcompensating and becoming Targeters themselves. That is how many young whites feel SAFE today. That is how they are handling the real racism, they are white and becoming white haters. That is the pernicious psychological training.

Quiet reflection on how the president is being treated.
Is it all about trump or is there a message to white right of center citizens? Trump could have been a decent president especially considering what he inherited and the Hypermalice and traitors he is surrounded by. I've lived through several decades of presidents and he is no worse at the very least than clowns and creeps we've had in the past.

It's a terror campaign of sorts being directed at him and I don't believe it's all about trump. Domestic terrorism and the irony it's being directed at the president of the U.S., it's non-stop - to make it a new normal.

I didn't vote for either individual last time 'round. Trump was merely the candidate of Dissident Members of the Ruling Oligarchy who had been exiled from the Swag Buffet during the Obama Era. I voted downticket, but I figured that once Trump was elected, the Oligarchs would direct their people in D.C. (the Clintons, the Obama operation, the Propaganda Ministry) to go into Permanent Opposition with a view towards driving Trump from power. I'm sort of a disciple of Joseph P. Farrell's analysis on this.

The Ruling Class wants to remind the voters who REALLY runs the country, so the Looting Can Continue. That's why Hillary's election was so important; so that the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton grip of Central Bankster control over the White House could continue.

That said, talk of impeachment is boob bait for Progressive Activists at this time. There's really nothing to make the GOP turn on Trump, and as the Nixon story reminds us, that is what drove Nixon from power more than anything else.

I was more than a little worried after Trump bombed Syria and Afghanistan and the MSM began extolling his virtues for once and talking about he is now a real president. But now with Trump firing Comey and the main stream media calling for his impeachment non-stop 24/7 I have my hopes up again.
The Main Stream media is like an opposite barometer for me, if they hate Trump and they allocate so many resources to defaming him than he must be doing a pretty good job in my opinion.
The more the main stream media espouse their venom and vitriol the more I feel Trump is doing his job to fight the system.
I'm pretty happy and optimistic right now. :)

Putin makes it clear, "nothing happened, no security issues, nothing secret was revealed" thereby defending President Trump's meetings..


Putin stated, that he has a “record” of the American president’s meeting at the White House with two senior Russian officials and was ready to give it to Congress — so long as Mr. Trump does not object.

Referring to reports that Mr. Trump had revealed highly classified intelligence, Mr. Putin said, “It’s hard to imagine what else these people who generate such nonsense and rubbish can dream up next.”

Mr. Putin’s offer to release a record of what was said, made after a meeting with the visiting prime minister of Italy, Paulo Gentiloni, suggested less an effort to create clarity over what Mr. Trump actually said in the Oval Office last Wednesday than a headline-grabbing assertion of his own authority and a reminder that he should not be ignored.

Agree with you DNA. The Syrian missile strike had me initially being quite angry about his decision to do this, even sending an email to Trump Tower calling him a name that I will not repeat here. But after settling down and seeing what damage the missile strike had actually done to the Syrian base, I've been more recently attempting to read between the lines of what the MSM is trying to paint for us peons, and what is really going on. The MSM, as we should know quite well by now, is mostly a Deep State propaganda machine.

As you may have seen, I very much like how Dave lays out his X22 Reports. He goes through quite a bit of what the so-called corporate 'news' media is attempting to lay out. And within all this confusion of various articles, he points out what he calls "indicators" that would help point the listener / reader to be more 'clued in' as to whether Trump is really controlled by the Deep State, or is in any way playing a part of The Deep State.

One of the more recent 'indicators' that Dave points out was Donald Trump's recent pick for Secretary of the Army, Senator Mark Green of Tennessee. Mark Green is known to have made a statement supporting the Second Amendment to the point that Americans should be able to have the same weaponry as government. Now, to have Trump pick a man that promotes this is telling me that he is anything but working for, or controlled by, the Deep State.

Unfortunately, Mark Green eventually turned down the opportunity to be grilled by Democrats in Congress in order to be approved for that post. The Huffington Post article:


Trump Pick For Army Secretary: Citizens
Should Have Same Weapons As The Government (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mark-green-second-amendment_us_59077af8e4b02655f83f0ff6)

By Amanda Terkel
May 02, 2017
Tennessee state Sen. Mark Green (R), President Donald Trump’s nominee for Army secretary, strongly believes that citizens should be armed ― and not just with any ol’ guns. They should be able to possess whatever weapons the military has, because an armed citizenry is the “ultimate checks and balances” against the federal government.

“The Second Amendment, while it allows citizens to protect themselves from other citizens, goes well beyond just allowing us to defend ourselves from a criminal,” Green said at a pro-gun rally in 2013.

“The men who penned and ratified this document gave us the right to keep and bear arms as an ultimate checks and balances against the federal government,” he added. “When considering magazine size and weapon type, comments like, ‘You don’t need a 10-round magazine to hunt deer’ completely misses the point of the Second Amendment.”

I recall seeing 1 - 5 up to 1 - 9 in the early part of that fated Tuesday and most were closer to the 1 - 9 (all favoring Hillary).

Here is a toned down reference that shows how that market progressed during that interesting day...

Bookmakers say the US Presidential Election is all but over after Donald Trump wins crucial states of Florida and Ohio (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3918888/Bookmakers-make-Trump-heavy-favourite-beat-Hillary-remarkable-day-polls-Republican-nominee.html)



In the morning, anyone betting £1 on Trump would have got odds of 9-2

That means they would have made a £4.50 profit on their bet

But a £1 bet on Clinton would have netted you a profit of only 40 pence

That's because bookmakers only gave her odds of 2-5

Trump is now 1-50, meaning a £1 bet will earn you just two PENCE profit

DNA - I hope trump is as happy and optimistic as you are about him.

Bob - your excerpt from Putin - that blows my mind. Not one repub is fighting for their party's president but Putin may provide a transcript to shut these fiends up? Putin has to come in as a voice of reason? I don't think anything will shut them up aside from death or prison. But like with schoolyard bullies it usually takes one kid with guts to stand up and they back off. but trump doesn't have one repub showing the fiends that they have the president's back.

Turiya - not sure if I trust trey gowdy yet or not.

I was more than a little worried after Trump bombed Syria and Afghanistan and the MSM began extolling his virtues for once and talking about he is now a real president. But now with Trump firing Comey and the main stream media calling for his impeachment non-stop 24/7 I have my hopes up again.
The Main Stream media is like an opposite barometer for me, if they hate Trump and they allocate so many resources to defaming him than he must be doing a pretty good job in my opinion.
The more the main stream media espouse their venom and vitriol the more I feel Trump is doing his job to fight the system.
I'm pretty happy and optimistic right now. :)

Well Trump advised Russia several hours before hand of the strike on the Syrian airbase. Russia would have informed Syria also and likely they would have moved personal and equipment off the base before the strike. Thereafter the base was operational again within 24 hours, not much damage really from strike of 59 Tomahawk missiles is it.

The strike was a win for Trump, from that point according to MSM Trump became a "real president". For MSM to go back from that would confuse the public even more and make MSM loose more credibility and make them seem CRAZY. Nice move by Trump.

The afghan strike was on a CIA built complex for ISIS I believe.

So regardless of what MSM says Trump is working with Russia and by extension Syria and Assad on ISIS. I would also say Trump is working with China and Russia on North Korea.

And honouring his promise to rid the world of ISIS.

And the "Lets Make Peace" tweet by Trump indicates no WW3 with Russia.

And his surprise press conference shortly thereafter with Kissinger seated at his side was to indicate to tptw that "I POTUS will dictate to you (tptw) the terms of my presidency"

Note Kissinger is tptw messenger boy.
Quote "On 17 November 2016, Kissinger met with then President-elect Donald Trump during which they discussed global affairs". (COUGH, AND GIVE TRUMP THE LAY OF THE LAND REGARDING HIS PRESIDENCY.)
Quote "Kissinger became an advisor to Nelson Rockefeller and supported his bid for the Republican nomination for president in 1960, 1964, and 1968". (BIRDS OF A FEATHER AND ALL THAT.)
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger)

I might be off with my opinions, but Trump would know the tptw love their symbolism and they would have gotten this message loud and clear.

So hopefully these thoughts might clarify the situation.

you're too much. Taking bets, huh? My money is still on trump though like I said above it's the repubs not the dems with their screams for human sacrifice that have me concerned. the repubs have proved to be the most ball-less wimps going and worse, they could be quietly treacherous. with the dems - what you see is what you get, with the repubs - no one knows what they're getting.

My first and most useful rule is this: what EVER gets air time on TV is a part of THEIR program; and what ever gets continual coverage is a major agenda and I try to figure out what's the exact opposite of the message and do that.

The accuracy of this method is astounding.

the banchee cries for impeachment louder than usual is to cover Seth murder disclosure. poor young man. they say now he was alive and conscious when cops arrived. hmmm. assassins didn't do the job completely so cop or intel agent finished him off? ughh

Or maybe the cops that were first on the scene "assisted" in Seth's demise. I also find it suspicious that, to this day, it is not known to which hospital Seth was taken in his final hour, as reported in the "open investigation" reporting by George Webb on his Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/georgwebb.

From one of the more conspiracy minded theorists out there, Jim Stone, at jimstone.is, it seems that one of the cops wives worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Here's a screen shot from Jim's website.

incredible. and we don't even know who has his laptop, the cops or the FBI.

But will all this go round and round just amongst Alt radio hosts and sites? Would that not be bizarre? Could it be possible that the entire msm including Fox will ignore this while we are lit up with it and it just goes around in a closed circuit loop of Alt land?

I just did a spot check on Hannity per youtube as I don't have cable and he did do something on it but by far most of the show was about the war on trump. the show should have been the opposite - they have a ball with the Rich murder, will someone please run with it. Stop promoting trump's demise like the left media and take a page out of the dem book and just scream over and over - Seth Seth Seth... like they do russia russia russia.... the dems are no substance and all ploy/technique, just scream your heads off, that's their big technique, and it's only working because to the contrary are the repubs, a black hole of silence ....

My post was meant to show that the UK bookmakers were wrong about the 2016 Presidential Election and thus may very well be proven wrong regarding Trump's possible impeachment.

My money would be on Trump not being impeached or otherwise forced out of office and I had hoped my post suggested that - But just to be clear... Trump weathers this latest storm - I make the odds at least a 2 to 1 favorite against "impeachment" (ie. "Ruling Class witch hunt/trial/conviction/execution").

I generally do not wager on anything other than the Super Bowl (at least I don't these days).

Hagmann & Hagmann have an excellent interview with The Dark Journalist (Daniel Liszt) discussing the Trump administration and its war with the Deep State:
The Dark Journalist on The Hagmann Report Updated 5/14/17 (http://www.darkjournalist.com/s-hagmann.php)

Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt provides a timely and critical analysis of current events - including the firing of FBI Director James Comey and the interesting implications to the Deep State objective of starting a new Cold War 2.0 scenario with Russia to feed a failing Military Indutrial Complex.

[Helene West]

I had to shut Alex off. He actually said trump will be assassinated in the middle of the investigation that's where it's going...I couldn't believe he actually said it...

Am I nutz or should he be putting this scary imagery into people's heads? Is this the way to win? and supposedly conservative fox news is dwelling on the war on trump instead of calling out the republicans for their silence. they could both be spending time suggesting to the citizenry what they can do to counter this. They both, fox mainstream bs conservative or Alt alex jones, are not doing anything to strengthen people when they need it the most.

Yesterday I listened for a few and he had Stone and Cernovich on. They took calls and the first call was a young woman almost crying. She said she came out of the hospital for something or other but was having an anxiety attack over what is being done to the president! this is so unnecessary..
I'm starting to wonder about alex.

and the repubs don't seem worried about their constituencies either. even my brother who doesn't go on the internet at all told me the repubs are getting ready to throw him under the bus. Do they think they will get elected again? very strange, republican behavior. What is in it for them to betray him? I understand it's one party really when push comes to shove but most politicians start worrying about reelection almost as soon as they get in and those who voted for trump are not going to forget this.

Does anyone else think that they are trying to create a civil war or at the very least massive civil unrest? I mean I am no fan of Trump, although I take him over Hillary, but the MSM is becoming ridiculous with the Russia and impeachment stuff. The powers that be can't really think that they can throw Trump out with out people taking to the streets? or is that what they want?

The msm news is beyond my comprehension at the moment.

MSM = Deep state

If trump doesn't do what the deep state wants, they set the MSM dogs loose on him, when he does what they want... they call the dogs back and praise him.

Riots or massive civil unrest are desired, certainly... that allows more restriction of freedom more "patriot act" like legislation etc...


TV is the tool of the deep state and has been for decades... it's SUPER obvious now for some reason, they used to be more subtle but I think they recognize they are loosing people to the internet rapidly and are starting to have to sensationalize and over play their hand to keep what audience they do have.

Bruno

(love your little doggie!)

I don't think tptb expect a per se civil war. the richest have access to the best stats and social scientists in the world and enough studies have been done to show how the TV screen causes inertia, not Che Guevara's. They will pay for violence has they do many times but getting the bulk of the population off their butt to actually have a civil war, nah.

but they can cause enough hate and fear to make life unpleasant for many people. Stirring the irrational hates amongst the left and putting the fear of the Lord into conservative types is what is desired. it's a giant PsyOps project. I wrote above that i had to shut off alex jones yesterday who supposedly is a voice for anti-globalism, for conservative or the alt folk. But he was scaring and depressing the crap out of me. Is he really my friend? Is that the best message he can give his listeners, telling us that trump will probably be assassinated in the middle of the investigation? Or is he Supposed to scare and depress me?

What I wonder is if msm is actually representing a huge amount of citizens that are as stupid and malicious as they are? Has the population sunk that low? Or, does it not matter what the true nature of the citizenry is because msm (and the dems) are demonstrating the old propaganda premise of 'repeat a lie enough times' and people will believe it.

I have a daily paper in my city that was popular when I was a little girl before computers. Now, it is a hate rag and I don't see as many people on public transportation reading it. but I feel even if many publications or stations are running at a loss/deficit, even if they are not making any money, the corporate elites have infinite money supply to keep these going just for the propaganda value.

[BMJ]

I love your dog to Bruno very cute. :bigsmile:

All these actions by MSM, the democrats and republicans in what every way that try to ruin Trump only serve to expose these individuals and organisations and their agenda even more to the public.

Trump is giving them enough rope and they will hang themself, all Trump has to do is tighten the rope and finish the job.

Personally if I was in Trump's position, behind closed doors I would be brought to tears with laughter watching these idiots self destruct. Remember Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi little gems, Schumer's crocodile tears and McCain the war monger always looking to instigate WW3 (McCain might actually be Hillary C in drag, you never know), the US public and the global community must be scratching their heads and thinking WTF? :facepalm:

And it just keeps getting worse, thankfully POTUS Trump is steering the ship USS USA in the general direction of calmer waters with forecast for blue skies and sunshine. :bigsmile:

P.S. Helene I find the local daily paper makes for great toilet paper for my puppy, in this role the puppy finds it useful and so do I. :bigsmile:

Special Counsel Mueller will have all appropriate resources to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, and I am confident that he will follow the facts, apply the law and reach a just result."

Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch brings up an Interesting Side Note regarding Former FBI Director Mueller... Basically, he's the guy that initiated the language change to the FBI Training Manual - banning certain Islamic terms & phrases from being used by the Department & its agents... for example, the term 'jihad' was deleted & barred from usage within the Training Manual...

On top of that Cernovich was on alex yesterday and starts going "it's over" "the trump movement is over" and proceeds to disclose that some guy name Johnny DeStefano (hope I got that name right) is in charge of personnel in the WH and as of June 20 will be letting go trump loyalists who are temporary. He seems to have the option of permanently hiring them but they say he is a 'Never Trumper' and will be filling the positons with trump haters!! huh?! Where did this come from? how is this possible?
But instead of cernovich saying something to the listeners like - "I'm going to contact sara carter or john Solomon... and let them know what's going on and get it out there..." he comes out with this depressing crap - it's all over. After 6/20 the impeachment witch hunt will really begin!! What is with some of these Alt guys? I feel my 8 year old cousin could fight or strategize better than some of these alt hosts...
I never tweet but I'm wondering if we should start tweeting Fire DeStefano!!

Just FYI ;)

I work in Information security (Cyber security... they keep changing the name) and mostly post from work... your pretty much guaranteed to never get a dirty link from me because I wouldn't be allowed to get to it in the first place unless we are in the lab, and I don't post here from there; everything is recorded.

A Monster Eating the Nation (https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/19/a-monster-eating-the-nation/#more-150623)

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler (https://tinyurl.com/ms7ync2)

Is there any question now that the Deep State is preparing to expel President Donald Trump from the body politic like a necrotic organ? The Golden Golem of Greatness has floundered pretty badly on the job, it’s true, but his mighty adversaries in the highly politicized federal agencies want him to fail spectacularly, and fast, they have a lot of help from the NY Times / WashPo / CNN axis of hysteria, as well as such slippery swamp creatures as Lindsey Graham.


http://editorialcartoonists.com/cartoons/PalmeK/2013/PalmeK20130216_low.jpg

There are more problematic layers in this matter than in a Moldavian wedding cake. America has been functionally ungovernable for quite a while, well before Trump arrived on the scene. His predecessor managed to misdirect the nation’s attention from the cumulative dysfunction with sheer charm and supernatural placidity — NoDrama Obama. But there were a few important things he could have accomplished as chief exec, such as directing his attorney general to prosecute Wall Street crime (or fire the attorney general and replace him with someone willing to do the job). He could have broken up the giant TBTF banks. He could have aggressively sponsored legislation to overcome the Citizens United SOTUS decision (unlimited corporate money in politics) by redefining corporate “citizenship.” Stuff like that. But he let it slide, and the nation slid with him down a greasy chute of political collapse.


http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/images/print-edition/20120218_FBD001_0.jpg

Which we find embodied in Trump, a sort of tragicomic figure who manages to compound all of his weaknesses of character with a childish impulsiveness that scares folks. It is debatable whether he has simply been rendered incompetent by the afflictions heaped on by his adversaries, or if he is just plain incompetent in, say, the 25th Amendment way. I think we’ll find out soon enough, because impeachment is a very long and arduous path out of this dark place.


http://cdn2.btrstatic.com/pics/showpics/large/913119_myMz6nXu.jpg

The most curious feature of the current crisis, of course, is the idiotic Russia story that has been the fulcrum for levering Trump out of the White House. This was especially funny the past week with the episode involving Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Ambassador Kislyak conferring with Trump in the White House about aviation security around the Middle East. The media and the Lindsey Graham wing of the Deep State acted as if Trump had entertained Focalor and Vepar, the Dukes of Hell, in the oval office.

Why do you suppose nations employ foreign ministers and ambassadors, if not to conduct conversations at the highest level with other national leaders? And might these conversations include matters of great sensitivity, that is, classified information? If you doubt that then you have no understanding of geopolitics or history.


https://img.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2017/05/TRUMP-russia-taylorjones.jpg

The General Mike Flynn story is especially a crack-up. Did he accept a twenty thousand dollar speaking fee from the Russian news outlet RT in his interlude as a private citizen? How does that compare to the millions sucked in by the Clinton Foundation in pay-to-play deal when Madame was secretary of state? Or her six-figure speeches to Goldman Sachs and their ilk. Are private citizens forbidden to accept speaking fees or consulting fees from countries that we are not at war with? I’d like to know how many other alumni of the Bill Clinton, Bush-II and Obama admins have hired themselves out on this basis. Scores and scores, I would bet.


http://synthstuff.com/mt/2016/11/20161116-foundation.jpg

Trump’s adversaries might not get any traction on the Russia story, but they may enrage the rogue elephant Trump enough in the process that he will appear sufficiently incompetent to run him over with the 25th Amendment, and I think that is the plan for now. Of course, there are some jokers in the deck. A really striking one is the story of murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich last July. He was shot in the back on the street outside his apartment one night by persons as yet unknown, and twelve days later over 40,000 DNC emails landed at Wikileaks. His laptop is reportedly in the possession of the DC cops — if it hasn’t been dumped in the Potomac. I’m generally allergic to conspiracy theories, but this looks like an especially ugly story, which might ultimately be clarified if-or-when Julian Assange of Wikileaks ever divulges the source of that data dump. Anyway, the new Special Counsel at the DOJ, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, may have to venture down that dark trail.


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_8bW-ZVoAA5YB-.jpg

One way or another, though, the Deep State is determined to drive Trump from office. In the final rounds of this struggle, Trump might conceivably undertake a sudden swamp-draining operation: the firing of a great many politicized Intelligence Community officers, especially the ones legally culpable for leaking classified information to media — another area that Mr. Mueller could also shine a light on. The colossal security apparatus of this country — especially the fairly new giant NSA — has become a monster eating America. Somebody needs to literally cut it down to size. Perhaps that’s the Deep State’s main motive in moving heaven and earth to dump Trump.


http://conservativeread.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/trumpswampdraining_small.jpg

When they do, of course, they are libel to foment an insurrection every bit as ugly as the dust-up that followed the shelling of Fort Sumter. Trump, whatever you think of him — and I’ve never been a fan, to put it mildly — was elected for a reason: the ongoing economic collapse of the nation, and the suffering of a public without incomes or purposeful employment. That part of the common weal is liable to completely whirl down the drain later this year in something like a currency crisis or a depressionary market meltdown engineered by yet another Deep State player, the Federal Reserve. That and the ejection of Trump could coincide with disastrous results.

Is There a Point to All This Cruelty?
Betsy DeVos knows nothing about public education.
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a55145/betsy-devos-education-cuts/
(My objections to Trump have little to do with "political correctness", and if he shakes things up, that's great. Things need a good shaking. But besides his boorish behavior, what I find problematical is things like this. )

BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
MAY 18, 2017

While we're on the subject of bad hiring in the executive branch, let's not forget that Betsy DeVos, the Secretary of Education, was the single most obviously unqualified Cabinet nominee—Grizzlies!—in the history of the republic. On Thursday, from The Washington Post, we find that DeVos is finding ways to fulfill her life's dream of destroying public education and monetizing all those bright shiny faces.

The cuts would come from eliminating at least 22 programs, some of which Trump outlined in March. Gone, for example, would be $1.2 billion for after-school programs that serve 1.6 million children, most of whom are poor, and $2.1 billion for teacher training and class-size reduction. The documents obtained by The Post — dated May 23, the day the president's budget is expected to be released — outline the rest of the cuts, including a $15 million program that provides child care for low-income parents in college; a $27 million arts education program; two programs targeting Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students, totaling $65 million; two international education and foreign language programs, $72 million; a $12 million program for gifted students; and $12 million for Special Olympics education programs...
...The Trump administration would dedicate no money to a fund for student support and academic enrichment that is meant to help schools pay for, among other things, mental-health services, anti-bullying initiatives, physical education, Advanced Placement courses and science and engineering instruction. Congress created the fund, which totals $400 million this fiscal year, by rolling together several smaller programs. Lawmakers authorized as much as $1.65 billion, but the administration's budget for it in the next fiscal year is zero.
Is there a point to all this gratuitous cruelty? Why, yes, there is.

The cuts would make space for investments in choice, including $500 million for charter schools, up 50 percent over current funding. The administration also wants to spend $250 million on "Education Innovation and Research Grants," which would pay for expanding and studying the impacts of vouchers for private and religious schools. It's not clear how much would be spent on research versus on the vouchers themselves.
Pell Grants take a beating, too, and the proposed budget eliminates the public-service-based debt forgiveness program on student loans that the Obama administration put in place in 2007. (People who go into teaching or who become doctors in underserved rural communities qualify for the program.) Over half a million people have signed up for this program, which is due to kick in this October. What happens to them is anybody's guess.

Betsy DeVos does not know anything about public education except that she doesn't believe in it as a concept. Free public education is one of the unquestioned triumphs of the American experiment, but it's a disposable commodity to a know-nothing fanatic who married into a vast fortune and dedicated a lot of it to wrecking public education. One of the worst things about electing an unqualified dolt to be president is that the dolt's administration is a paradise for free-range maniacs and their personal crusades. This is a case in point.

“Initial statistics suggest that this attack may be larger in scale than WannaCry, affecting hundreds of thousands of PCs and servers worldwide: because this attack shuts down SMB networking to prevent further infections with other malware (including the WannaCry worm) via that same vulnerability, it may have in fact limited the spread of last week's WannaCry infection,” wrote (https://www.proofpoint.com/us/threat-insight/post/adylkuzz-cryptocurrency-mining-malware-spreading-for-weeks-via-eternalblue-doublepulsar) a security researcher who goes by the alias Kafeine at cybersecurity company Proofpoint.

X22 Report 1280b:
[@ 17:13]
But what's very interesting about this is to understand what happened here... In a matter of hours, countries were stopped in their tracks. China ATM machines frozen, hospitals went dark.

If they can do this on this type of scale, think about what they can do with world with the banking system. And we know they've been planning this for a very long time. We know that they will use whatever they have to... to blame this on another group, another person, or any type of entity. And the only way to basically show that they're not responsible for the economy going down, is to use some type of cyber attack. Remember they have kill switches for the stock market, the S&P 500... [they have it for the BA system]... they've developed this a long time ago.

British and U.S. agents, they've been carrying out mock cyber attack war games. The Bank of England & the commercial banks in the city of London and on Wall Street - they were part of these tests.

And what we're seeing right now is a system which they can bring down in a split second. Which means... All funds, all digital currency, they can completely wipe out. This is their 'kill switch' for the system. This is what I'm talking about... how they can take this system down in a split.

Now if they figure that Trump is winning and he, and the good guys in part of his administration, and they're bringing down the system, they [the Deep State] might go ahead & try to bring down the system in this manner - whereby they will freeze everything. They will say it wasn't them, they might even blame it on Trump, they might blame it on North Korea, who knows... Doesn't really matter at this point. But, the point is: they will make sure that they're not blamed for it. Then, they will make it look like they are coming to the rescue. And you can see how this whole thing can unfold right now.

Now remember, their job - the Deep State / the central bank - their job right now is to create an instance where they can create war, if they can't get that started... because, if they have a war, well, they can say that 'since, we're in a war, the economy is not doing well & system is collapsing, everyone has to, basically, sacrifice.'

If they can't get the war started, and they see that Trump is bringing down the system, and they have no alternative but to bring it down, they will use a cyber attack. This way, they can blame whoever they want. They can blame it on Trump, and plus, they will still be in control of the system.

They also are trying to get rid of Trump. What do you think this Russian collusion whole thing is about... This is why they've never let it go. And I'm sure they're going to come up with alot more information about Trump, because they want him gone. They don't want him in office. He is 'The Enemy'.

And this is why they've been trying so hard... Actually, during the campaign, during the election, right after the election... think about all the things they've done to try to get rid of him. And now they're continually pushing the Russian collusion. I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with even more to try to get him to resign, or to try to impeach him... and if all this doesn't work, they're still going to try to assassinate him.

But they do have the 'kill switch' ready to go, which means, they will bring down the financial institutions if they have no way out of the entire situation. If they feel that they're losing, and they have no alternative, they are going to throw the switch & everything is going to come down...

X22 Report Episode 1283b
@ 21:00]

There is information out there that there's another piece of Ransomware (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware) that's out there, and its much larger than WannaCry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WannaCry_ransomware_attack). And, its called EternalBlue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EternalBlue) and Double Pulsar Exploits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoublePulsar) developed by used by the NSA which was released by The Shadow Brokers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_Brokers) hackers back in April. The initial statistics suggest that this attack may be larger in scale than WannaCry, affecting hundreds of thousands of PCs and Servers worldwide.

Now, they don't shut them down, they don't ask for money. What they do, is they use your processing power to, basically, mine crypto currency. So if you see your PC, your laptop slowing down & you really can't do anything, you may have this on your system.

And we know that the Deep State / The Cental Bankers, we know that eventually what they're going to do, when they can't get their way, when their plans don't pan out... and they have no alternative, they are going to hit the world with a cyber attack - Not just the U.S. We can see already from the Wannacry, all they had to do was to flip a switch & Boom, it was out there. And this was kind of benign.

Think about the more advanced Ransomwares, or the more advanced malware or viruses that they have - systems that they can use - where they can just bring down systems in a snap of a finger. Remember, because of Wikileaks, we know that they have access to every single system. So, to bring something down is quite easy.

And this is why when I was speaking to Bix Weir in an interview, when he said 'yes, all digital currency is going to completely disappear. They can do this in a snap of a finger & wipe everything out. And this would be the perfect explanation of Why the economy failed. You can't track anything that they've. Everything they've done many years in the past is completely gone.

And they can say, "Listen, this wasn't our fault. This was because of this country, this group... and, we'll restart the system for you - no problem - All the debts gone. And, we'll just help everyone. And, of course, we'll have to go through a period where things are chaotic & things like that." And they'll have to restart the entire system.

And this is what the fight is about... Who is going to control the next economy... Who's going to control the creation of currency. Is it going to be 'We the People'? Or, is it going to be the Central Bank once again!

Cyberattacks & the Vulnerability
of a Cashless Society

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong (https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/taxes/cyberattacks-the-vulnerability-of-a-cashless-society/)

https://armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Hacker-1.jpg

QUESTION:
Cyberattacks vs. Cash elimination – an argument against eliminating cash. Hello Mr. Armstrong, it is quite apparent that no government, no financial institution, Anti-virus software developer, or either ‘whatever’ is is really capable to stop cyberattacks. Now these people want to eliminate cash, make larger cash amounts illegal. So theoretically these cyber attackers could/ maybe will, eventually just stop the whole economy. Nobody may even be able to buy food. So instead of eliminating cash, should it not be policy people carry at least a month’s worth of expenses in cash? Your reply should be quite interesting to us, your readership!

ANSWER:
The WannaCry Ransom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WannaCry_ransomware_attack) attack is actually variant from a February 2015 sample attributed to the Lazarus Group, a Kaspersky-tracked actor tied to the North Korean government. Parts of the code go beyond shared code. It appears to be written by the same programmer.

Let’s get something straight here. At the core of those responsible is really the NSA and Microsoft itself. The attack exploited a Windows networking protocol to spread within networks, and while Microsoft released a patch nearly two months ago, it’s become very clear that patch didn’t reach all users particularly because institutions often do not install patches fearing that proprietary software may not function.

If behind the curtain we have government demanding back-doors into iPhones and computer so they can listen to everything everywhere, well guess what – so can everyone else. Patches will work for individual users, but not major institutions. Trying to upgrade their operations is a real effort. They are slow to act and thus vulnerable.

The NSA was well aware of this little trick. The real answer is the NSA and FBI must do investigation the old fashion way. Stop asking for secret back-doors that never remain secret very long. The entire world will become vulnerable and they use to counterfeit an adversary’s currency to undermine their economy. Today, if we keep this nonsense up, they will hack into the entire thing and shut it down.

The idea of moving to a cashless society is just insane. Somebody has to give up something here. Trust me – the intelligence community will not take responsibility.

Slow motion coup. This won't end well.

Its already a fantastic ending no matter what else happens... get it? Trump exposed it all. Even the blindest of the blind see it now. Thank you, Donald J. Trump for doing exactly what I hoped you would do.

Expose

Now anything else good he does (and he's already done plenty) is just icing on the cake.

Pollock explains, “If he plays spoiler, he will have to go on the offensive, but he’s not going to be able to make America great again.

Synopsis:
This is an anonymous source alert – and at least that’s more than either the Wash Post or the NYT has given you.
A person on something called Boardnet – and within Boardnet, on something called - /pol/ - posted the following last Wednesday, May 17.





=> Side Note: Actual URL is: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/

“[I am a] 4th-year surgery resident here who rotated from WHC (Washington Hospital Center) last year, it won’t be hard to identify me but I feel that I shouldn’t stay silent.”

”Seth Rich was shot twice, with three total gunshot wounds (Entry and exit, and entry). He was taken to the OR emergency where we performed and exlap and found a small injury to segment three of the liver which was packed and several small bowel injuries (pretty common for gunshots in the back exiting the abdomen), which we resected—12 cm of bowel and left him in discontinuity (didn’t hook everything back up) with the intent of performing a washout in the morning. He did not have any major vascular injuries or otherwise. I’ve seen dozens of worse cases than this which survived and nothing about his injuries suggested to me that he’d sustained a fatal wound.”

I saw my Mom and two sisters yesterday:

One sister - Trump Hater, easily triggered, sees or hears trump and it's off to the races with the name calling. Has complete justification in place for non-stop slandering, etc.
Other sister - Voted Trump but gets news from mainstream sources.
Mom - Voted Trump and watches fox news exclusively but the day and earlier shows, not hannity.

!None of them - ever heard of Seth Rich!

Talk about 'divide and conquer' or 'controlled opposition'! With this extent of Segregation of groups of the population, why would the Tptb disband alternative news the way people worry they are out to? Alt news seems to help keep a segment of the population separated from the moderate conservatives thereby weakening the entire conservative/liberatian, etc element.
We're all in our separate bubbles.

Here's an excellent article giving the background of James Comey, the recently fired FBI directory: Trump Dropping the Hammer on Comey (http://operationdisclosure.blogspot.ca/2017/05/trump-dropping-hammer-on-comey.html)

Trump fired Comey while Comey was 1000's of miles away from his Washington DC office, without Comey or any ally of Comey or the Clinton's having a clue it was going to happen. Then immediately, the Attorney General Jeff Sessions had Comey's office sealed off like a crime scene and cease all the papers, files and computers in Comey's office.

Comey goes a long way back with the Clintons, helping them get money and stay out of jail.

Here's what Comey has done for the Clintons:


When Bill Clinton was leaving the office of the President in January 2001, he pardoned a major criminal named Marc Rich. This caused a public (and law enforcement) outrage, sufficient to cause the Dept of Justice (DOJ) to investigate. Comey, a US attorney in the DOJ at the time, led that investigation, which cleared Clinton of any wrong doing.

Then Comey left the DOJ and became the head attorney (Counsel) for Lockheed Martin, a very large US defense contractor. While Comey was at Lockheed, Lockheed made major contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and received major contracts in return from the US Dept of State, while it was under the "leadership" of Sec of State Hillary Clinton.

Then left Lockheed (with an $6 million parting bonus), and joined the Board of Directors of HSBC bank during a major outbreak of scandals. HSBC has major involvement in a variety of drug money laudering, violations of the sanctions on Iran, terror funding operations and other criminal activity. They also pay heft speaking fees to Bill Clinton and make major donations to the Clinton Foundation. Thanks to the work of Comey and others, HSBC escaped the prosecution with just a fine, and no one going to jail.

Then as Hillary Clinton was leaving the Dept of State, Obama appointed Comey (whose background was in avoiding the law, not enforcing it) as Director of the FBI. Apparently the Clinton's figured that they had better have a trusted ally heading the FBI, to put a damper on any investigation or prosecution of their many crimes, such as Hillary's use of a private-server, her mis-handling classified information, her selling access to favors/contracts from the State Department to Clinton Foundation Donors (including Comey’s Lockheed Martin), and much more.

During the "investigations" that followed into Hillary's email server and activities, James Comey brought his brother's law firm in to handle the investigation, which never found anything worth prosecuting in two years. Meanwhile Comey and his key lackeys lost evidence, didn't find obvious evidence, gave immunity to the key suspects, and had evidence destroyed.
Comey ... a bought and paid for accomplice to the Clinton crime syndicate.

The article provides quite a bit more detail, and is well written. Check it out: Trump Dropping the Hammer on Comey (http://operationdisclosure.blogspot.ca/2017/05/trump-dropping-hammer-on-comey.html)

The Washington swamp has some nasty critters in it, who play for keeps, no holds barred.

I am impressed that Trump managed to fire Comey, and do so with sufficient surprise that he was able to have Comey's office searched before Comey or his people could get to it.

Squawker contributor Michael Hart joins me to discuss the destruction that is coming to America. According to Hart, A crisis is not coming. It is already here, and it will be as defining a moment in the history of the United States as the Great Depression, World War II, or the American Civil War — that is, if you believe in an interesting theory laid out in a book called “The Fourth Turning: What Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous With Destiny.”

Hart notes that According to the book 'The Fourth Turning' authors Strauss and Howe, reveal that the relative geographic and historical isolation of the United States provides a unique opportunity to view this historical cycle unfold regularly and predictably every 80 years.

This 80-year cycle can be divided into four stages or seasons, each lasting approximately twenty years: High, Awakening, Unraveling and Crisis. We are in the Crisis stage and it will continue until 2025. The question is, how bad will it get? Join me and Michael Hart to find out.

Destruction Coming to America:
Donald Trump, Steve Bannon,

A crisis is not coming. It is already here, and it will be as defining a moment in the history of the United States as the Great Depression, World War II, or the American Civil War — that is, if you believe in an interesting theory laid out in a book called “The Fourth Turning: What Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous With Destiny.”

In this book published in 1997, authors William Strauss and Neil Howe make the argument that our ideas about the nature of history, linear time, and progress are illusory, and that if we want a more accurate concept on the way that history unfolds, we would do well to study the Ancient Greek concept of cyclical time. This concept views national and global historical phenomenon not as randomly occurring events, or the linear march of historical “progress,” but instead sees them as recurring archetypes placed into a larger tapestry of a greater repeating historical cycle.


The Fourth Turning: Destruction is Coming

According to Strauss and Howe, the relative geographic and historical isolation of the United States provides a unique opportunity to view this historical cycle unfold regularly and predictably every 80 years.

This 80-year cycle can be divided into four stages or seasons, each lasting approximately twenty years:


https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/82/c4/a882c47fd8d852ee0dbced442ca820c6.jpg
Immediately following WWII began the time of the “First Turning.”

1. High– This initial stage occurs immediately following a period of crisis. The High is characterized by strong institutions, a sense of collective destiny, and a weakness of individuality. The most recent example of this would be the period of prosperity and conformity in the U.S. immediately following the conclusion of World War II.

2. Awakening- The second stage, or turning, is a period of questioning established values and asserting one’s independence from established norms and morals, be they spiritual or political. This stage may be seen as a rebellion of the previous era’s emphasis on material wealth and conformity. The 1960’s, with the psychedelic revolution, anti-war protests, Civil Rights marches, and New Age spiritual movements can be seen as recent characteristics of this second stage, as well as Reaganomics and the mid-1980s Wall Street ethos.

“Justice for Mike Brown” and other social justice protests are symptoms
of the “Third Turning.” [Editorial credit: Rena Schild / Shutterstock.com]

3. Unraveling- The emphasis on autonomy and the questioning of spiritual, political, and individual authority in the Awakening stage eventually destabilizes society, leading to the Third Turning, in which institutions are weak and untrusted while the subjective experience of the individual is emphasized. This stage can be thought of as the inverse of the initial High stage, where collective destiny is replaced by atomization. A recent symptom of this stage would be the culture wars, corporate malfeasance, a lack of faith in government, and political correctness.

4. Crisis- In the Fourth Turning, a destabilizing event, usually involving warfare, leads to the destruction and reconstruction of institutions of power. In the face of destruction, Americans are forced to unite and forge a vision to restructure a disrupted society. This fourth stage can be seen as the inverse of the Awakening stage, and the authors cite World War II as the defining event of the most recent period of Crisis.


http://baomoi-photo-1-td.zadn.vn/17/05/17/105/22302057/2_70840.jpg
Destruction and war are symptoms of the “Fourth Turning.

”Strauss and Howe predicted that the next Crisis period that the US would face would happen sometime around 2005 and end around 2025. Anyone who has been paying attention over the last decade would have a difficult time refuting this. The financial crisis of 2008 threw the planet into discord, and we are now just beginning to see some of the political ramifications of this.

Much of the establishment press have made note of Steve Bannon’s interest in this book, (http://www.businessinsider.com/book-steve-bannon-is-obsessed-with-the-fourth-turning-2017-2) striking a fearful and disturbing tone inferring that Bannon wishes to somehow ‘bring about’ this Fourth Turning. If you take the ideas of cyclical time seriously, one can no more accelerate or delay the arrival of these repeating natural events than one could delay winter or somehow lengthen summertime.

The Crisis is here, and Trump, as well as the rest of the western rebellion against the destabilizing forces of globalism are symptoms of the crisis as well as the cure to it.

Buckle up, because I’ve got a feeling that the coming decade is going to get pretty bumpy.

[Helene West]

the above articles are all well and good but if they don't make Drudge and mainstream I don't think it matters. I just did a quick perusal of foxnews.com headlines, nothing but them perpetuating the 'trump in big trouble' meme.

You would think Newt Gingrich asking for an inquiry on Seth Rich would at least warrant 3 minutes of filler on the mainstream channels!

Re: my post above#2953 - where I noted that all 3 family members, 2 of 3 being trump voters, who I visited yesterday did not know who Seth Rich is!! I had to explain to them who the heck he is....

We alternative news followers are segregated. And personally I don't feel enough of these 'alt' hosts do enough to try to get breaking stuff to reporters in mainstream.

[turiya]

That's because 80% of MSM journalists are Deep State Fake News propagandists... and are brainwashed themselves, as well. If you're looking for this story to break on MSM news outlets then enjoyment in being distracted is just a hobby.

'Complete panic' at highest levels of DNC

murdered Democratic aide Seth Rich
WAS the source of Wikileaks (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4531696/Panic-DNC-Kim-Dotcom-s-claims-Seth-Rich.html)

Conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich were revived last week
First, the D.C.-based Fox-affiliate ran a quickly-debunked story that said connections between Rich and Wikileaks had been found
Over the weekend, those claims were repeated by hacker Kim Dotcom, who said he knew Rich and knew Rich was Wikileaks' source
Now an anonymous source has come forward on controversial site 4Chan claiming that there was 'complete panic' at highest levels of DNC over the claims
'I know for certain that the Seth Rich case has scared the s**t out of certain high ranking current and former Democratic Party officials,' he claimed
He provided no evidence on 4Chan to the claims, or those he worked in DC
D.C. officials and the Rich family have pushed back against conspiracy claims saying there is 'no Wikileaks connection' in the homicide investigation


An anonymous 4 Chan poster claims that internet hacker Kim Dotcom's allegations that murdered Democratic aide Seth Rich was the source of Wikileaks has sparked 'complete panic' within the DNC.

The nameless individual, who claims to have spent 20 years working in DC, said the latest conspiracy theory, that Rich was killed because he was the source of the DNC leaks, had terrified high ranking officials.

Conservative TV host Sean Hannity has since repeated the claims that 'panic has set in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party.'

'I know for certain that the Seth Rich case has scared the s**t out of certain high ranking current and former Democratic Party officials,' the 'insider', who has provided not information to back up his claims or that he works in DC, wrote on the controversial discussion site 4 Chan.

The nameless individual, who claims to have spent 20 years working in DC, wrote that he had never seen 'such a panicked reaction'

They added that this was why DNC executives had 'backed away from impeachment talk.'

'They know the smoking gun is out there, and they're terrified you will find it, because when you do it will bring the entire DNC, along with a couple of very big name politicians,' he added.

Conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Rich, who was gunned down in D.C. last July, are again swirling thanks to Dotcom's bold, and unsubstantiated claims, and a debunked news report from local station Fox5.

Seth Rich was shot in the back last July in D.C. Conspiracy theories have swirled around about his death, as some try to make a connection between Rich and Wikileaks' release of Democratic National Committee emails, which most believe were hacked by the Russians


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/22/22/40AD68A100000578-4531696-image-a-50_1495487519330.jpg

Conservative TV host, and Trump supporter Sean Hannity, repeated the claim that 'complete panic' had set in at the DNC

Last Monday, Fox5 ran a piece in which an individual, Fox New legal commentator, Rod Wheeler, said it was 'confirmed' that Rich had ties to Wikileaks.

Wheeler was identified as the Rich family's investigator.

In reality, Wheeler's investigation has been funded by a third-party, and the Rich family sent him a cease and desist (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4524384/Murdered-DNC-staffer-s-family-send-PI-legal-letter.html).

'As we've seen through the past year of unsubstantiated claims, we see no facts. We have seen no evidence. We have been approached with no emails and only learned about this when contacted by the press,' Rich's family said in a statement. 'We are a family who is committed to facts, not fake evidence that surfaces every few months to fill the void and distract law enforcement and the general public from finding Seth's murderers.'

People on the right have been trying to connect the dots between Rich and Wikileaks, as it would provide an explanation for why Rich was killed, and also taint the storyline that Russia was behind the Democratic National Committee hack.
Since the Fox5 story came out, not only did Rich's family refute the claims, but D.C. officials pushed back.

Internet hacker Kim Dotcom took to Twitter over the weekend and said he was involved in releasing the Democratic National Committee's emails to Wikileaks, along with murdered staffer Seth Rich


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/22/19/40AC717A00000578-4530996-image-m-5_1495478307973.jpg

Online mogul Kim Dotcom said over the weekend that he knew Seth Rich and knew that the staffer was Wikileaks' source, of which there is zero evidence


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/22/19/40AC717300000578-4530996-image-m-6_1495478346073.jpg

Big name conservatives including Sean Hannity have been fanning the flames of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. The Fox News personality later invited Kim Dotcom on a future show

'This is a robbery that ended tragically,' Deputy Mayor Kevin Donahue told the local NBC affiliate News4 (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Seth-Rich-DNC-shooting-death-conspiracy-theory-rejected-422626104.html). 'That's bad enough for our city, and I think it is irresponsible to conflate this into something that doesn't connect to anything that the detectives have found.'

'No Wikileaks connection,' he enunciated.

But just as NBC, along with CNN and the Washington Post – including a deep dive by the Post's Dave Weigel (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/05/20/the-seth-rich-conspiracy-shows-how-fake-news-still-works/?utm_term=.9eb68649404a) on how the Rich story really is 'fake news' – tried to drown the conspiracy theories, Dotcom and several figures on the right brought it back.

Dotcom, a German-Finnish internet entrepreneur known for founding Megaupload, jumped into the conversation Friday, four days after the Fox5 story ran.

He said he knew murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Rich who 'gave the political party's trove of emails to Wikileaks.'

'I knew Seth Rich. I know he was the Wikileaks source. I was involved,' Dotcom cryptically tweeted on Saturday.

'If Congress includes #SethRich case into their Russia probe I'll give written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was Wikileaks source,' Dotcom tweeted.

It was then a back-and forth on Twitter with Fox News host, and prominent President Trump supporter Sean Hannity, that got Dotcom to articulate a second time, that Rich was Wikileaks' source.

Shortly thereafter, Hannity called on Dotcom to be a guest on his television and radio shows and demanded that Congress look into the young staffer's murder.

'Is it possible that one [of the] greatest lies ever told is soon exposed?' Hannity mused, previewing an 'announcement' that Dotcom planned to give.

The anonymous DC insider has since added that the DNC was 'near open panic' about such claims.

'To even mention this name in D.C. Circles [sic] will bring you under automatic scrutiny. To even admit that you have knowledge of this story puts you in immediate danger. If there was no smoke there would be no fire. I have never, in my 20 years of working in D.C. Seen [sic] such a panicked reaction from anyone.'

He added that both Podesta and Hillary Clinton had received anonymous calls and emails from people who shared their belief in the conspiracy theory.

According to an account from Radar Online, Dotcom will release more information on the matter Tuesday, once he talks to his lawyers.

Hannity also suggested that, 'Complete panic has set in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party,' though offered no proof.

On Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich chimed in.

'We have this very strange story here of this young man who worked for the DNC who was apparently assassinated at four in the morning having given Wikileaks something like 23,000 – I'm sorry, 53,000 – emails and 17,000 attachments,' Gingrich said on Fox News Sunday.

'Nobody's investigating that, and what does that tell you about what was going on, because it turns out it wasn't the Russians, it was this young guy who, I suspect, who was disgusted by the corruption of the Democratic National Committee,' the former House speaker continued.

'He's been killed, and apparently nothing serious has been done to investigate his murder. So, I'd like to see how [former FBI director Robert] Mueller is going to define what his assignment is, and if it's only narrowly Trump, the country will not learn what it needs to learn about foreign involvement in American politics,' Gingrich added.

A quick question.

Was Seth Rich killed before any of the leaked material reached the public ? ( was it rough justice or an attempt to stop the leak reaching the public )

[turiya]

A quick question.

Was Seth Rich killed before any of the leaked material reached the public ? ( was it rough justice or an attempt to stop the leak reaching the public )

Going by memory...
I do believe the leaked email occurred publicly. Then Seth was found to be shot. Followed by the interview w/ Julian Assange offering a reward for information (09 Aug 2016).
(Someone can chime in to correct this, if its wrong...):



-So, looks like Podesta emails began to be stolen in March 2016...

-Seth Conrad Rich (January 3, 1989 – July 10, 2016)

-In March 2016, the personal Gmail account of John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff and the chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, was compromised in a data breach, and a collection of his emails, many of which were work-related, were stolen. Wikipedia

-On 7 October 2016, WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of emails that it said were from Podesta's Gmail account. - Wikipedia

-On 11 October 2016, WikiLeaks released what it said was the text of an email sent by Donna Brazile on 12 March 2016 to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri with the subject header "From time to time I get questions in advance." The email included a question about the death penalty.[51] - Wikipedia

-CNN severed ties with Brazile on 14 October 2016

-On 9 December 2016, the CIA told U.S. legislators the U.S. Intelligence Community concluded the Russian government was behind the hack and gave WikiLeaks hacked emails from John Podesta - Wikipedia

More to come out tomorrow...

The Fix Analysis
The Seth Rich conspiracy shows how fake news still works
By David Weigel May 20

Rush Limbaugh, who discussed the story this week, was just as ready to roll over the facts. After playing a clip of the debunked Wheeler story, in which the investigator claimed that authorities were preventing him from probing the Rich-WikiLeaks connection, Limbaugh claimed that the hacked emails had also been locked up. “Nobody has seen the 44,000 emails! They're on this guy's laptop.” But everyone who's wanted to has seen those emails — they have been on WikiLeaks's servers since last year.

The absolute faith that there will one day be proof of this conspiracy theory — proof that Democrats carried out a political murder to punish a leak that had already happened — is impervious to reality. It's bound to attract opportunists. On Saturday, Hannity perked up when he saw the accused copyright violator Kim Dotcom, who is facing extradition, claiming — out of nowhere — that he would break the story wide open.

So: Dotcom, who is facing extradition from New Zealand to America, and who has personally blamed Barack Obama for his legal trouble, claims in May 2017 that he knew crucial details about a political murder from July 2016. Why would he have sat on that during a hotly contested election, one that looked until the last minute to be queuing up Obama's chosen successor?

None of it makes sense. That means we're never going to stop hearing about it.

Kim Dotcom has posted his statement now, on his website http://kim.com/:

============


#SethRich was a hero

I know that Seth Rich was
involved in the DNC leak.


I know this because in late 2014 a person contacted me about helping me to start a branch of the Internet Party in the United States. He called himself Panda. I now know that Panda was Seth Rich.

Panda advised me that he was working on voter analytics tools and other technologies that the Internet Party may find helpful.

I communicated with Panda on a number of topics including corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics.
“He wanted to change that from the inside.”


I was referring to what I knew when I did an interview with Bloomberg in New Zealand in May 2015. In that interview I hinted that Julian Assange and Wikileaks would release information about Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.

The Rich family has reached out to me to ask that I be sensitive to their loss in my public comments. That request is entirely reasonable.

I have consulted with my lawyers. I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation. My lawyers will speak with the authorities regarding the proper process.

If my evidence is required to be given in the United States I would be prepared to do so if appropriate arrangements are made. I would need a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller, on behalf of the United States, of safe passage from New Zealand to the United States and back. In the coming days we will be communicating with the appropriate authorities to make the necessary arrangements. In the meantime, I will make no further comment.

WND EXCLUSIVE

Bar manager: Cops never talked
with staff about night
Seth Rich was murdered (http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/bar-manager-cops-never-talked-with-staff-about-night-seth-rich-died/)

Statement backs claim from private
investigator that police told to 'stand down'

Published: 2 days ago

Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich

By Liz Crokin

A manager of the Washington, D.C., bar where Democratic National Committee worker Seth Rich was last spotted hours before he was shot and killed last summer told WND that D.C. police officers never interviewed the bar’s staff or requested any evidence from the bar, including the bar’s surveillance video from that night, as part of an investigation into Rich’s murder.

The revelation backs up a claim made by a private investigator who worked on the case who said D.C. police were told to “stand down” on the investigation.

WND also can report that the investigator recently was ordered to “cease and desist” his work on the murder case.

“The police never asked for the surveillance video from that night,” a manager of Lou’s City Bar told WND.

His name is being withheld for this story.
He said the bar’s surveillance video runs in a cycle of 30 days and that, by now, any footage that may have existed of Rich the last night he was seen alive has been taped over.

Furthermore, the manager said police never asked for any other kind of evidence from the bar such as Rich’s bar receipt from that night. The manager did note he wasn’t sure if Rich paid using a credit card or cash.

The manager also said he’s not aware of the police ever interviewing any of the bar’s staff members as part of their investigation into Rich’s murder.

“The only time that I talked to police was during the memorial for Seth,” the manager said, noting that those conversations were more casual and friendly.

He did not believe the conversations were part of official police interviews regarding Rich’s murder investigation.

The statements back up a claim by private investigator Rod Wheeler – a retired D.C. police detective who was hired to independently investigate Rich’s murder – that police were told to stand down on Rich’s murder investigation.

Wheeler told FOX 5:

“I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department.”

Wheeler has also suggested that Rich could have been the insider source who leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks. (http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/seth-rich-family-rips-private-eye-for-raising-possible-dnc-link/)

He cites an anonymous federal investigator who has claimed to have proof Rich sent thousands of DNC emails to WikiLeaks.

Now Rich’s family has asked Wheeler to stop working on the case, according to a WND source close to the situation.

“He’s been told to cease and desist,” the source said.

Furthermore, the source said Rich’s family ordered that Wheeler not talk about any aspect of the case to anyone.

“It’s really unfortunate he’s been taken off the case, because Rod truly believes he was very close to solving this murder,” the source said. “Rod is not a political person – he genuinely just wanted to find out who murdered Seth. He doesn’t care if it’s a Republican or a Democrat – he just wants to get the truth out there.”

Rich’s family members have not spoken publicly about Rich’s death in months.

Instead, professional Democratic crisis consultant Brad Bauman, from the Pastorum Group, has been speaking on the family’s behalf.

Bauman has emphasized that he and the Rich family want police to get to the bottom of Rich’s case regardless of where it leads. However, he blasted Wheeler for suggesting publicly any suspicion of the DNC’s involvement.

The Rich family is “devastated” Wheeler has not ruled out a WikiLeaks connection, Bauman said.

“Every single time a story is reported, it is just hearsay, it is lies, it is politically driven or politically motivated hearsay,” Bauman said. “And it actually causes the opposite of what everyone wants. It causes the inability for the police and for independent investigators to figure out what actually happened.”

The source said that since Wheeler spoke to the press about some of his findings, he has received a ton of backlash.

“Rod wishes that he never got involved in this case in the first place,” the source said. “He did not know that there would be such a big political component involved with this case or that there would be such backlash directed at him for trying to do a good deed.”

The source said Wheeler was just trying to do right by the family and find justice for Rich. Even though Wheeler’s no longer allowed to investigate or discuss the case with anyone, the source said he hopes others continue to look into this case and report on it.

WND calls to Rich’s family were not answered or returned. And a relative close to Rich’s girlfriend, Kelsey Mulka, said she is not interested in talking to the media, either.

“She’s devastated,” the relative said of Mulka. “Can you imagine what she’s gone through? She just wants this to go away and to be left alone.”

Despite reports of fights at Lou’s City Bar the night that Rich died, the manager said he’s not aware of anything that happened that was out of the ordinary that night. He said he’s extremely saddened by Rich’s untimely death.

“He was the nicest guy in the world,” the manager said. “If someone gave me trouble in the bar, Seth would be standing right there defending me.”

The manager said Lou’s City Bar held a memorial for Rich. He said Rich could not have come from a better family.

“They’re wonderful people,” he said. “I wish I could’ve done something to save him.”

WND reported earlier on Bauman’s dissatisfaction (http://wnd.com/2017/05/seth-rich-family-rips-private-eye-for-raising-possible-dnc-link/) with Wheeler’s comments about the case. Those criticisms followed Wheeler’s statement that he had just learned from Rich’s family that the DNC contacted them about the case.

“How did that DNC person know I had called the police? That is what is baffling me,” Wheeler said. “I just found out from [Rich’s] family that the DNC knew I contacted the police – they hadn’t told me that all this time.”

Bauman blasted him:

“I don’t think at this point, given Detective Wheeler’s lack of credibility – that I am going to dignify any accusations that he makes with any sort of discussion, I’m sorry.”

Anyone who believes Rich may have leaked DNC emails “deserve a place in hell,” Bauman said angrily.

WND also has reported on the eerie similarities (http://wnd.com/2017/05/chilling-similarities-between-seth-rich-murder-and-clinton-body-count-victims/) between Rich’s death and several deaths of individuals linked to former President Bill Clinton and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Just as in the Rich case, several of the people who died mysterious deaths were shot spontaneously and in public places, sometimes from behind, sometimes by unknown assailants and often just before they were set to release incriminating evidence concerning the Clintons’ activities. In most cases, there were no signs of theft at the crime scenes. And while some of the deaths were ruled suicides, other cases remain a mystery.

As WND reported (http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/3-dead-spark-new-interest-in-clinton-body-count/), Rich was murdered July 10, 2016, near his affluent neighborhood in Washington, D.C. He was shot in the back with a handgun at 4:18 a.m. while he walked home (https://www.scribd.com/document/320691960/Event-16113797-Public-Incident-Packet-1#fullscreen&from_embed), and nothing was taken from him. Rich, who called several people as he later walked home, was talking on the phone with his girlfriend, Mulka, when he was accosted a block from his house. He was transported to a local hospital and was pronounced dead at 5:57 a.m.

On July 22, just 12 days after Rich’s death and days before the Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia, WikiLeaks released 20,000 emails from DNC officials.

The leaked emails revealed, among other things, that the DNC tried to tip the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and prevent Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders from becoming the party’s nominee. The leaks were cited by some Democrats as one explanation for Clinton’s election loss. Many accused the Russians of “hacking” and turning the tide for Donald Trump.

In one email released by WikiLeaks, Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta said he would like to “make an example” out of the person who leaked the emails.

“I’m definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it,” Podesta wrote on Feb. 22, 2015, according to WikiLeaks.

Donna Brazile Busted Trying To Shut Down
Seth Rich Murder Investigation (http://yournewswire.com/donna-brazile-seth-rich-murder/)

May 23, 2017 (http://yournewswire.com/2017/05/) Baxter Dmitry (http://yournewswire.com/author/baxter/) Editor's Picks (http://yournewswire.com/category/editors-picks/), News (http://yournewswire.com/category/news/),

http://cdns.yournewswire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/donna-brazile-shuts-down-seth-rich-678x381.jpg



Disgraced former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile is the senior DNC figure who called police and hassled the family of murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, demanding to know why a private investigator was “snooping” into Rich’s murder case.Donna Brazile is famous for being fired by CNN and forced to stand down as interim chairwoman of the DNC after it was revealed by WikiLeaks that she gave key questions to Hillary Clinton in advance of a CNN town hall debate with rival Bernie Sanders.

She then further disgraced herself by claiming that there were fakes mixed in with genuine emails released by WikiLeaks – a claim that was shown to be false.

http://curezone.com/upload/_T_Forums/Turiya_Files_/AVALON/TRUMP/GENRL_TWEETS/BAXTER_DMITRY_SHiiiiiit_Hey_TimKaine_and_DonnaBraz ile_DNI_Calling_you_.png (https://twitter.com/baxter_dmitry/status/818902623516401664/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fyournewswire.com%2Fdonna-brazile-seth-rich-murder%2F)

Now the serial cheat and liar is back in hot water after Rod Wheeler, the private detective investigating the Seth Rich case due to a lack of progress made by D.C. police, called her out as the senior DNC official who tried to throw him off the case and stop the investigation into the DNC staffer’s murder.

“The high-ranking DNC official that called the police after I inquired about Rich’s case was Donna Brazile,” veteran homicide detective Rod Wheeler told WND. “Why shouldn’t I reveal who it was?”WND reports (http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/bombshell-donna-brazile-probing-seth-rich-murder-says-private-eye/): Rich was murdered July 10, 2016, near his affluent neighborhood in Washington, D.C. He was shot in the back with a handgun at 4:18 a.m. while he walked home, and nothing was taken from him. He was transported to a local hospital and was pronounced dead at 5:57 a.m. On July 22, just 12 days after Rich’s death and days before the Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia, WikiLeaks released 20,000 emails from DNC officials.

Wheeler said in several interviews last week that a federal investigator has elaborate details about Rich’s connection to WikiLeaks and is a credible source.

“I don’t like to suggest things without saying the person’s name, but I can’t say that person’s name, because that person would be thrown under the bus,” Wheeler told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “This person, we checked him out, we have to check him out, he’s very credible – he said he laid eyes on the computer and he laid eyes on the case file.

“When you look at that with the totality of everything else that I’ve found on this case, it’s very consistent for a person with my experience to begin to think, perhaps there were some email communications between Seth and WikiLeaks.”
Wheeler told Hannity:

“There were some problems that Seth was having on his job at the DNC right before he was killed. And the person that called the father after I called the police to get information (Brazile), that’s the person that Seth was having problems with at the DNC. So connect the dots, here; it’s starting to all come together.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J9YfQtqcuA

Wheeler initially refrained from revealing the identity of the DNC official who called the Rich family to inquire about the detective’s “snooping,” but he said he felt less compelled to stay quiet about Brazile’s identity after what he believed to be an unrelenting assassination of his character by the Rich family’s spokesman.

The spokesman, Democratic political crisis consultant Brad Bauman, excoriated Wheeler for not eliminating the possibility that Rich leaked emails, accusing the veteran detective of fabricating his claims in a desperate attempt for media attention.

“I don’t think at this point, given Detective Wheeler’s lack of credibility – that I am going to dignify any accusations that he makes with any sort of discussion, I’m sorry,” he told WND.

He added that anyone who believes Rich may have leaked DNC e-mails “deserve(s) a place in hell.”

While Wheeler has concluded – after months of extensive investigation – the idea that Rich was killed during a robbery is implausible, he maintains that his motivation to solve the case and find Rich’s murderer has nothing to do with politics.

“I hope people understand this – I am not involved at all with the political side of any of this stuff – I am really not. My one focus is on finding a murderer,” he told WND. “That is my only focus.

“Now if that murderer is a neighborhood knucklehead who had a gun and killed him that night, then that is who I want to capture,” he said. “Then the story ends for me when I find him. If that murderer is someone who worked with him on his job, then that is who I want to capture.”Brazile called the possibility that Rich leaked DNC emails “shameful” on Sunday.

“Seth Rich was a hard worker and proud to be an American. This desire to scar Seth’s legacy to his country and party is shameful,” the former DNC chair tweeted.http://curezone.com/upload/_T_Forums/Turiya_Files_/AVALON/TRUMP/GENRL_TWEETS/DONNA_BRAZILE_SETH_RICH_WAS_A_HARD_WORKER.png (https://twitter.com/donnabrazile/status/866438951493611522?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fyournewswire.com%2Fdonna-brazile-seth-rich-murder%2F)

While critics dismiss the idea that Rich’s murder might be linked to the DNC in the midst of a highly contentious presidential campaign as “conspiracy” and “fake news,” talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh on Monday said Americans are determined to uncover the truth about Rich’s murder.

“This story is now starting to get legs, that Seth Rich was murdered. It was [allegedly] a contract hire killing because he was leaking to WikiLeaks. He was the one – he may have been a Bernie supporter – and the only colluding and rigging here, folks, is the Democrat primary election,” Limbaugh said. “KimDotCom, the noted hacker, has now come forward and said he was working with Seth Rich to get the documents to WikiLeaks.

“Right now it’s conspiracy-theory status. But it won’t go away. It just won’t go away. That’s about as much as I can say right now.”
Kim Dotcom is the Twitter handle for the hacker described as an “entrepreneur, innovator, gamer, artist, Internet freedom fighter & father of 5.” He is a German-Finnish Internet entrepreneur who founded Megaupload. On May 20, “Kim Dotcom” tweeted: “I knew Seth Rich. I know he was the @Wikileaks source. I was involved.”

In another tweet on the same day, he wrote: “I’m meeting my legal team on Monday. I will issue a statement about #SethRich on Tuesday. Please be patient. This needs to be done properly.”

On Sunday, Hannity called on Congress to get to the bottom of Rich’s murder.

In a Twitter response to Kim Dotcom that received nearly 19,000 “likes,” Hannity wrote: “Congress, investigate Seth Rich Murder! @JulianAssange made comments u need to listen to! If Seth was wiki source, no Trump/Russia collusion.”

JW Files FOIA Request with Police,

(Published on May 23, 2017)

[ThePythonicCow]

One of my favorite commentators, Brandon Smith, makes an excellent case that Trump is being setup to take the blame for the coming economic, financial and monetary collapse: The Trump Collapse Scapegoat Narrative Has Now Been Launched (http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3197-the-trump-collapse-scapegoat-narrative-has-now-been-launched).

Granted, it's an easy case to make, if you open your eyes and look at the important clues. Brandon does just that, as he often does.

His article begins:

===========

Last week was a rather crazy one for the news feeds, with cyber attacks and “Comey memos” and a host of other wild mayhem, it may have been difficult for many people to keep track of it all. That said, there was one event that I think went partly under the radar, and I think it is an important signal for anyone concerned with the ongoing process of economic collapse in the U.S.

Generally, the American public holds very little vigilance when it comes to economics. They are distinctly unaware of fundamental indicators such as commodities demand, energy usage, manufacturing, imports, exports and international shipping, etc. What they do take note of, and what the mainstream news will tell them about in 30 second blurbs, is the state of unemployment and whether stock markets were down for the day or up for the day. These two “indicators” are the extent of the average person’s exposure to fiscal health.

This is why the Federal Reserve and the establishment have been meticulous over the past several years in their efforts to keep employment statistics highly manipulated to the positive side and why they have been injecting untold trillions into stocks around the world through various measures including no cost overnight loans.

However, over the past couple of years something has changed. As I warned they would do in 2015 in my article The Real Reasons Why The Fed Will Hike Interest Rates, central banks including the Fed have been backing off of stimulus measures and they have now begun a series of interest rate hikes. Look at it this way — imagine the economy has a terminal disease and the only thing keeping it alive is a highly addictive drug called “free money.” It’s a rather terrible life, barely worth living, but the economy still has a faint pulse as long as the drug is administered. Now, what would happen if the Fed suddenly cuts off the drug supply? Well, the economy will die in a very frantic and horrible way.
===========

Brandon then cites some of the abundand evidence

that the big banks and the Federal Reserve are now triggering an economic, financial and monetary collapse, as they have done numerous times in the past, and
that Trump is now being blamed by the main stream media and news outlets for everything that goes wrong in the US.

Brandon concludes his article:

===========

It is interesting to me that the mainstream media never said the market drop was caused by “Comey’s turmoil,” or by “The Washington Post and The New York Times’ turmoil.” No, they called it “Trump’s trumoil.” Last week’s stock dive was, in my opinion, the official launch of the Trump collapse narrative. The establishment was beta testing it for months, but now, the program has gone live.

Every single stock decline from now on, as well as the ultimate economic crash, which will become visible to the public in short order, will be blamed on Donald Trump and conservatives by extension. As I said, he is the perfect scapegoat.

I have been very critical of Donald Trump recently, and it is my view, according to the evidence and his swift retraction of nearly every promise he made to the voters during his campaign, that Trump is controlled opposition. But, I would never lay the blame for our fiscal decline at his feet. Trump does not have the power to create that kind of disaster; only the global banks have that power. I’ll say it again — the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates into a major financial downturn. This will be the trigger for the next phase of collapse, not any drama surrounding Donald Trump. Everything else, from Comey to North Korea, is distraction.

The Fed has done this before. In fact, the Fed has a habit of raising interest rates at the onset of economic instability or right in the middle of a downturn, as it did in 1928-1929 triggering the Great Depression, and in 1931, adding fuel to the fire of financial catastrophe.
===========

In short ... Trump's the "fall guy (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fall+guy)."

So I should refinance my house RIGHT NOW instead of waiting...

(so little practical conclusions from these articles)

[ThePythonicCow]

Rich’s family members have not spoken publicly about Rich’s death in months.

Instead, professional Democratic crisis consultant Brad Bauman, from the Pastorum Group, has been speaking on the family’s behalf.

Bauman has emphasized that he and the Rich family want police to get to the bottom of Rich’s case regardless of where it leads. However, he blasted Wheeler for suggesting publicly any suspicion of the DNC’s involvement.

The Rich family is “devastated” Wheeler has not ruled out a WikiLeaks connection, Bauman said.

“Every single time a story is reported, it is just hearsay, it is lies, it is politically driven or politically motivated hearsay,” Bauman said. “And it actually causes the opposite of what everyone wants. It causes the inability for the police and for independent investigators to figure out what actually happened.”


Also following up on this post of mine, from yesterday, on another thread:


"Out of respect for the family's wishes... FOR NOW... I am not discussing this matter at this time."
It looks to me as if someone in the family doesn't want this Seth Rich murder story to break further into the public consciousness.

Brad Bauman, a long time professional Democrat crisis PR consultant, has assumed the role of the "family spokeman" for the family of murdered Seth Rich. He is assisting in this coverup, protesting that "the Rich family" wants to get to the bottom of this murder case, but excoriating any efforts to connect Seth Rich's murder with the Democrats. In Bauman's latest round of tweets, he is found blasting Kim Dotcom, with such tweets as:

Guess what @KimDotcom I don't buy it...think you have an agenda or are a sociopath. Which is it?
I sincerely hope that u never have 2 feel the pain that folks lk @newtgingrich & @KimDotcom have caused the Richs today I'm heartbroken #SethRich
So @newtgingrich just proved my case: only those with agendas or sociopaths still pushing the #setrich conspiracy. In this case he is both.

My (Paul) take: Brad Bauman is (one of) the sociopath(s) with the agenda to protect Clinton and Democrat operatives and to bury this news using faux sympathy with the Seth Rich family as "their family spokesman" to excoriate anyone getting too public with the truth.

Here's the Youtube video from which I copied the above tweets (I don't tweet):

Turns out that I have a response for all this talk about impeachment, assassination, etc., when it comes to Donald Trump...
Cross-posted on another thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?97318-Trump-Illegal-immigration-Sam-s-view&p=1155067&viewfull=1#post1155067)...

In other words, Existence provides for whatever is needed at the time of its being needed. If one thinks that they have control over their own existence (i.e. the ability to choose how one's life will unfold), then try telling Existence what your plans are... and then, see how that works out for you.

As a good example of this:

Existence has provided, at this particular time, that Donald Trump is to be America's president. The Deep State has attempted to tell Existence what their plans are... that Hillary should be president, that there should be more wars, a World War 3, and, that now Trump is to be their puppet to help make this all happen for them. If he chooses not to be their puppet, then there will be impeachment... If that doesn't work out, then there will be an assassination....

Be sure to pay close attention... as you will see how Existence responds to the Deep State cabal telling Existence what their plans are...

Be sure to have plenty of popcorn on hand while you enjoy seeing just how Existence manages how things will actually be played out... The Deep State cabal is simply dreaming that they are in control... Existence will also wake these people up, as well, whenever the right time for that comes into being.

In the meantime, here's more on the Radical Muslim Immigration Invasion meme....

On the four-year anniversary of the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby by two converts to Islam, a Muslim suicide bomber named Salman Abedi attacked exiting fans at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, killing 22 and injuring 59 others. Can we understand this brutal attack? Only if we turn to the Muslim sources.

Back to the Seth Rich Murder meme... As the George Webb investigative journalism efforts on the Awan Brothers gets some traction...


Caught On Tape: Wasserman Schultz
Threatens Police Chief For
Investigating Her IT Staff's Crimes (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-24/caught-tape-wasserman-schultz-threatens-police-chief-investigating-her-it-staffs-cri)

May 25, 2017 1:30 AM

Something stinks here. February we first reported on the Anwan brothers, (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-04/meet-awan-brothers-not-russian-it-staff-who-allegedly-hacked-congress-computer-syste) the (Not-Russian) IT Staff Who Allegedly Hacked Congress' Computer Systems.


Imran Awan seen below with Bill Clinton
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/02/01/20170204_Awan_0.png (http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/02/01/20170204_Awan.png)

The brothers were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues, information and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism.

The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members’ computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress.
The three men are “shared employees,” (http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/04/exclusive-house-intelligence-it-staffers-fired-in-computer-security-probe/)meaning they are hired by multiple offices, which split their salaries and use them as needed for IT services.

Then in March, (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-01/house-democrats-delayed-dismissal-it-staff-hackers-because-they-were-muslim-american?page=1) we noted that House Democrats decided to delay the firing (until today) because their Muslim background, some with ties to Pakistan, could make them easy targets for false charges.

“I wanted to be sure individuals are not being singled out because of their nationalities or their religion. We want to make sure everybody is entitled to due process,” Meeks said.

“They had provided great service for me. And there were certain times in which they had permission by me, if it was Hina or someone else, to access some of my data.”

Fudge told Politico on Tuesday she would employ Imran Awan until he received “due process.”

“He needs to have a hearing. Due process is very simple. You don’t fire someone until you talk to them,” Fudge said.

On Wednesday, Lauren Williams, a spokeswoman for Fudge, wouldn’t provide details about Imran Awan’s firing but did confirm he was still employed in Fudge’s office as of Tuesday afternoon.
The bottom line is simple - these House Democrats decided it was better to be at risk of hacking and extortion than to be accused of racism.


http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/02/27/20170301_meeks.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/02/27/20170301_meeks.jpg)

Then yesterday we reported that Congressional Aides Fear Suspects In IT Breach Are Blackmailing Members With Their Own Data...

The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access.

“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone. It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years. “Something is rotten in Denmark.”
A manager at a tech-services company that works with Democratic House offices said he approached congressional offices, offering their services at one-fourth the price of Awan and his Pakistani brothers, but the members declined. At the time, he couldn’t understand why his offers were rejected but now he suspects the Awans exerted some type of leverage over members.

“There’s no question about it: If I was accused of a tenth of what these guys are accused of, they’d take me out in handcuffs that same day, and I’d never work again,” he said.
And today, The Daily Caller's Luke Rosiak reports (http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/24/wasserman-schultz-threatened-police-chief-for-gathering-evidence-on-her-it-staffers-alleged-crimes/)Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against a Pakistani staffer suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches involving funneling sensitive congressional data offsite.

The Florida lawmaker used her position on the committee that sets the police force’s budget to press its chief to relinquish the piece of evidence Thursday, in what could be considered using her authority to attempt to interfere with a criminal investigation.


http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/05/23/20170524_DWS.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/05/23/20170524_DWS.jpg)

The Capitol Police and outside agencies (https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/fb662ce697ce9285b049f69e8377f90bf341003b?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2017%2F03%2F15%2Fpaul-ryan-house-it-scandal-probe-getting-outside-help%2F&userId=1391895&signature=6baaa63a8c19c4ac) are pursuing Imran Awan, who has run technology for the Florida lawmaker since 2005 and was banned (https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/aaeb3990faba210c36cda66465be501f675f6acd?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2017%2F02%2F04%2Fexclusi ve-house-intelligence-it-staffers-fired-in-computer-security-probe%2F&userId=1391895&signature=35731d66681b0320) from the House network in February on suspicion of data breaches and theft.

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing (https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/88b31197a89315ea917e84bbe534dab026e911de?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCfby0FYLBkM %26feature%3Dyoutu.be%26t%3D1h24m24s&userId=1391895&signature=f0ee4c2c71fb5f29) of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

“We can’t return the equipment,” Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa told the Florida Democrat.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said.
As one of eight members of the Committee on Appropriations’ Legislative Branch subcommittee, Wasserman Schultz is in charge of the budget of the police force that is investigating her staffer and how he managed to extract so much money and information from members.

In a highly unusual exchange, the Florida lawmaker uses a hearing on the Capitol Police’s annual budget to spend three minutes repeatedly trying to extract a promise from the chief that he will return a piece of evidence being used to build an active case.

“If a Member loses equipment and it is found by your staff and identified as that member’s equipment and the member is not associated with any case, it is supposed to be returned. Yes or no?” she said.
Police tell her it is important to “an ongoing investigation,” but presses for its return anyway.

The investigation is examining members’ data leaving the network and how Awan managed to get Members to place three relatives and a friend into largely no-show positions on their payrolls, billing $4 million (http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/01/pakistani-suspects-in-house-it-probe-received-4-million-from-dem-reps/) since 2010.

The congresswoman characterizes the evidence as “belonging” to her and argues that therefore it cannot be seized unless Capitol Police tell her that she personally, as opposed to her staffer, is a target of the investigation.

When The DCNF asked Wasserman Schultz Monday if it could inquire about her strong desire for the laptop, she said “No, you may not.” After TheDCNF asked why she wouldn’t want the Capitol Police to have any evidence they may need to find and punish any hackers of government information, she abruptly turned around in the middle of a stairwell and retreated back to the office from which she had come.

Her spokesman, David Dameron, then emerged to say “We just don’t have any comment.”

Though on the surface Wasserman Schultz would have been a victim of Awan’s scam, she has inexplicably protected him, circumventing the network ban by re-titling him as an “adviser” instead of technology administrator.

Politico described (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/house-democrats-it-staffers-hina-alvi-imran-awan-235569) him and his wife, Hina Alvi, as having a “friendly personal relationship” with both Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York.

That baffled a Democratic IT staffer, who said

“I can’t imagine why she’d be that good of friends with a technology provider.”

“Usually if someone does bad stuff, an office is going to distance themselves” rather than incur political fallout for a mere staffer.
Wasserman Schultz resigned as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 after Wikileaks published thousands of internal emails obtained by an as-yet unidentified hacker.

The last 30 seconds of the exchange can also be seen here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfby0FYLBkM&feature=youtu.be&t=1h26m40s)...

"NSA analysts had been conducting such queries in violation of that prohibition... with an institutional 'lack of candor' on NSA's part and emphasized that 'this is a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.'"


May 24, 2017 9:52 AM



Reported by X22 (http://x22report.com/its-all-happening-behind-the-scenes-but-will-it-work-episode-1288/):

A newly released court order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) found that the National Security Agency, under former President Obama, routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall[/B]. In describing the violations, the FISA court said the illegal searches conducted by the NSA under Obama were “widespread” and created a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”



These new discoveries come from a recently unsealed FISA court document dated April 26, 2017 and center around a hearing dated October 26, 2017, just days before the 2016 election, in which the FISA court apparently learned for the first time of “widespread” and illegal spying on American citizens by the NSA under the Obama administration.




“The October 26, 2016 Notice disclosed that an NSA Inspector General (IG) review…indicated that, with greater frequency than previously disclosed to the Court, NSA analysts had used U.S.-person identifiers to query the result of Internet “upstream” collection, even though NSA’s section 702 minimization procedures prohibited such queries…[B]this disclosure gave the Court substantial concern.”

the American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are some of the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to police itself and safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure.





“I think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in Washington.

“You have these problems going on for years that only come to the attention of the court late in the game and then it takes additional years to change its practices.

Trump's new head of family planning seems to indicate more Trump/Vatican ties
http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2588?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign_name=201705146&utm_source=etoc_daily

The new head of the federal government’s premier family planning agency has said “contraception doesn’t work . . . its efficacy is very low,” “the incidence of contraception use and the incidence of abortion go up hand in hand,”6 and “family planning . . . doesn’t really involve the federal government.”7...
And because the job is a sub-cabinet position, Manning was not subject to Senate questioning and confirmation, where these views could have been explored and confronted. She is already at work.
OPA dollars helped prevent an estimated 387 000 unplanned births and 278 000 abortions in 2015.8

Trump Just Picked a Contraception Skeptic to Head Federal Family Planning Efforts
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/05/donald-trump-hhs-teresa-manning-contraception-abortion


After appointing the former president of a powerful anti-abortion group to head public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, the Trump administration plans to bring another anti-abortion advocate into the ranks at HHS—this time to oversee the Title X program, which allocates nearly $300 million per year in family planning funds to providers across the country and shapes policy and regulation about topics like contraception and teen pregnancy.

Politico reported on Monday that the administration has tapped Teresa Manning, a law professor and former employee of two anti-abortion groups, to be the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Population Affairs, the department within HHS that oversees Title X. Manning is currently listed in the HHS employee directory, although the White House did not confirm the appointment to Politico. Manning, an adjunct professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, was formerly a legislative analyst at the conservative Family Research Council and a lobbyist for the National Right to Life Committee, the largest US organization opposing abortion.

"Family planning is what occurs between a husband and a wife and God. And it doesn't really involve the federal government."
Manning has questioned the efficacy of contraception in preventing pregnancy, and also said the government shouldn't play a role in family planning—the foundational ideas behind the federal family planning program she will now be tasked with overseeing. In a 2003 radio interview, Manning noted that pro-choice advocates "promote contraception and birth control as a way to reduce the incidence of abortion. There really is no evidence to support that. In fact, the incidence of contraception use and the incidence of abortion go up hand in hand." She also said that pro-choice advocates view abortion as a backup form of contraception for when birth control fails (oral contraception is effective over 99 percent of the time when taken properly): "Of course, contraception doesn't work. Its efficacy is very low especially when you consider over years," she said. Manning continued: "The prospect that contraception would always prevent the conception of a child is preposterous."

Manning (who at the time had the last name Wagner) was quoted in a 2001 press release opposing the distribution of the morning-after pill over the counter, claiming the pills are abortifacients that "destroy the human life already conceived." (Medical consensus disagrees, as the pills only prevent fertilization.) Manning also authored a 1999 article for the Family Research Council titled "The Empty Promise of Contraception." The head of Trump's HHS, former Georgia congressman Tom Price, also has a long history of opposing contraceptive access, including Obamacare's mandate that health insurance cover birth control costs.

"I always shake my head. You know, family planning is what occurs between a husband and a wife and God," Manning said during a 2003 panel about a book she edited. "And it doesn't really involve the federal government, much less the United Nations, where we hear about family planning all the time. What are they doing in that business?"

In her new job at HHS, Manning will oversee a program that provides funding for contraception, STI testing, and other reproductive medical care for low-income and uninsured men and women across the country. According to the Guttmacher Institute, which provides research on reproductive health care, in 2015 Title X-funded clinics helped women avoid 822,300 unintended pregnancies.

"It is a cruel irony to appoint an opponent of birth control to oversee the nation's only federal program dedicated to family planning," said Dawn Laguens, the executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in an emailed statement. "We are at the lowest rate of unintended pregnancy in 30 years and a historic low for teen pregnancy because of access to birth control. Someone who promotes myths about birth control and reproductive care should not be in charge of the office that is responsible for family planning at HHS."

By law, Title X cannot fund abortion services, but the program has been swept up in the new administration's efforts to signal a hard anti-abortion stance. Trump signed a law last month that would allow states to withhold Title X funds from reproductive health care providers who also offer abortions.

More budget cuts for the poor
Trump’s Budget Cuts Deeply Into Medicaid and Anti-Poverty Efforts
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS MAY 22, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/us/politics/trump-budget-cuts.html

WASHINGTON — President Trump plans to unveil on Tuesday a $4.1 trillion budget for 2018 that would cut deeply into programs for the poor, from health care and food stamps to student loans and disability payments, laying out an austere vision for reordering the nation’s priorities.

The document, grandly titled “A New Foundation for American Greatness,” encapsulates much of the “America first” message that powered Mr. Trump’s campaign. It calls for an increase in military spending of 10 percent and spending more than $2.6 billion for border security — including $1.6 billion to begin work on a wall on the border with Mexico — as well as huge tax reductions and an improbable promise of 3 percent economic growth.

The wildly optimistic projections balance Mr. Trump’s budget, at least on paper, even though the proposal makes no changes to Social Security’s retirement program or Medicare, the two largest drivers of the nation’s debt.

To compensate, the package contains deep cuts in entitlement programs that would hit hardest many of the economically strained voters who propelled the president into office. Over the next decade, it calls for slashing more than $800 billion from Medicaid, the federal health program for the poor, while slicing $192 billion from nutritional assistance and $272 billion over all from welfare programs. And domestic programs outside of military and homeland security whose budgets are determined annually by Congress would also take a hit, their funding falling by $57 billion, or 10.6 percent.


President Trump's Budget Proposal Calls For Deep Cuts To Education

May 22, 20179:02 PM ET

http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/05/22/529534031/president-trumps-budget-proposal-calls-for-deep-cuts-to-education
[QUOTE]President Trump's full budget proposal for fiscal year 2018, to be released Tuesday, calls for a $9.2 billion, or 13.5 percent, spending cut to education. The cuts would be spread across K-12 and aid to higher education, according to documents released by the White House.

White House Proposes Deep Cuts To Safety Nets With 'Taxpayer First' Budget Plan
POLITICS
White House To Release 'Taxpayer First' Budget Plan, With Cuts To Safety Nets
None of this can be finalized without Congress. And the political track record for Presidents who want to reduce education funding is not promising, even in a far less poisoned atmosphere than the one that hovers over Washington right now.

Student loans

This proposal calls for big changes to federal student aid:

The federal government would stop subsidizing the interest on student loans, for a cut of $1 billion in the next fiscal year. This would add thousands of dollars to the cost of college, primarily for low-income graduates.
Simplifying student loan repayment plans — a proposal that enjoys broad, bipartisan support. Currently, borrowers have a dizzying array of options: standard repayment (a 10-year term), graduated, extended, pay-as-you-earn, income-based, income-contingent and public service loan forgiveness. Trump's budget would create just one repayment plan that caps monthly payments at 12.5 percent of discretionary income. For undergraduate borrowers, the balance would be forgiven after 15 years.
In the process of that simplification, the budget would phase out the program known as public service loan forgiveness, which erases student loans after 10 years of employment for the government or a qualifying nonprofit. Almost half a million people are enrolled in this program. Those with graduate, not bachelor's, degrees, have the largest balances, such as teachers, doctors and lawyers.
It's not yet clear whether the program would be sunset or canceled immediately. The first group of participants was set to have their loans forgiven this coming October.

Another proposal in this budget with broad support: making Pell Grants, which provide tuition aid for low-income students, available year-round. Currently you can only get one in the fall and one in the spring.

Lauren Asher is a college affordability advocate with the Institute for College Access and Success. That group has supported simplifying student loan repayment. However, she says, all told, this budget amounts to, "multiple cuts that will exacerbate student debt by increasing the need to borrow, and increase the cost of repayment for many but not all students."

Medicaid

Trump Gives Commencement Address; Leaked Education Budget Has Big Cuts
This budget calls for major cuts to Medicaid. This would affect public schools and students in several ways. For both special-needs students, as well as millions of poor students, public schools provide services, from vision screening to speech therapy, to the tune of $4 billion in reimbursements a year, or 1 percent of all Medicaid dollars.

"It does represent quite a bit of money for schools and it's significant for them in terms of what they're able to use it for," says Jessica Schubel of the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

School choice

Title I is the biggest K-12 federal education program. It supports high-poverty schools. Under Trump's budget, regular Title I funding would be flat. And $1 billion more would be dedicated to a new grant program for states that allow poor students to leave neighborhood schools for other public schools, and take that extra money with them. This concept is known as "portability," or as it's sometimes known, the "backpack of cash" idea.

It's controversial, because in practice it means redistributing funds from poorer schools and potentially poorer districts to richer ones.

In addition, $250 million would go to create vouchers for private schools, and $167 million for charter schools.

The administration is also expected to unveil — outside this budget process — a tax credit scholarship program (sometimes called neo-vouchers), as part of tax reform.

Cuts

Some of the biggest axes would fall on a $2.3 billion program for teacher training and class-size reduction, and a $1.2 billion after-school program, which serves nearly 2 million children, many of them poor.

A $190 million literacy program would also be cut.

What are the chances?

We should note that, though this document has more details than the "budget blueprint" released earlier, nothing becomes law until it passes through Congress.

If history is any guide, budget reductions won't be so extreme.

The Department of Education was established under President Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan is the only president since then to seek a significant cut in its budget.

In fact, Reagan campaigned on a proposal to eliminate the department altogether. Once elected, his initial budget proposal asked for cuts of 20 to 25 percent in elementary and secondary education, among other programs.

But total appropriations for 1981 ended up higher than the year before. Of course, Reagan was dealing with a House and Senate controlled by the opposing party.

The potential presidential candidate suggested "we should explore ideas like universal basic income to make sure everyone has a cushion to try new ideas." But who is going to pay for this?

climate change (http://time.com/tag/climate-change)

How the World Is Responding to President Trump's Climate Policies (http://time.com/4718258/world-climate-change-donald-trump-epa-response/)

Trump, who has called climate change a "hoax," signed an executive order this week calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, which mandates that states reduce carbon emissions from power plants, with an eye to revising or replacing it. President Obama had touted that measure to show the U.S. commitment to addressing climate change in advance of the 2015 Paris climate change conference. And environmental policymakers from around the world took the Clean Power Plan as a sign that the U.S. was committed to meeting its pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions more than 25% from 2005 levels by 2025. With U.S. leadership in mind, other countries from around the globe made their own strong commitments, which eventually led to the Paris Agreement (http://time.com/4146764/paris-agreement-climate-cop-21/).

Now, Trump has disrupted the mood of international collaboration with the U.S. at the helm. He has ended key initiatives aimed at tackling global warming and vacillated on whether to pull the U.S. from the Paris Agreement entirely.
Here's how the rest of the world has responded:

China
The U.S. partnership with China (http://time.com/4050702/china-shows-its-getting-serious-about-climate-change/) may have been the key diplomatic development that allowed nearly 200 countries to agree to the Paris Agreement. The pair are both the world's largest economies and emitters of carbon dioxide. And their differences — namely, that the U.S. is a developed country and China a developing country — helped achieve an agreement that worked for everyone.

China is now the de facto leader on climate change now that the U.S. has pulled back—something that the country's officials have no problem noting. "The Paris Agreement is a milestone in the history of climate governance," Chinese President Xi Jinping said (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-01/19/c_135994707.htm?from=singlemessage) in January days ahead of Trump's inauguration. "All parties should work together to implement the Paris Agreement. China will continue to take steps to tackle climate change and fully honor its obligations."

Other leaders have been more direct. "No matter how other countries' policies on climate change change, as a responsible large developing country, China's resolve, aims and policy moves in dealing with climate change will not change," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-energy-china-idUSKBN1700RU?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews) this week.

European Union
European Union officials have vowed to lead on climate change issues regardless of what the U.S. does, as Canete suggested this week. But the individual member countries are also working to form a unified front to push Trump's cooperation. Leaders in Germany, France and Italy all see G7 and G20 gatherings later this year as a potential place for such a discussion, according to a Politico report (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/europe-trump-climate-change-235977).

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has taken a particularly strong stance saying she would educate the U.S. president on the science. "Of course, I will then say that I believe that climate change is absolutely caused by people," she said following the U.S. election last year. "We want to see how the positions develop."

Canada
Climate change was a key point of collaboration between President Obama and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but the issue has disappeared in conversations between Trump and his Canadian counterpart. But that doesn't mean Canada has stopped pushing: the country's environment minister, Catherine McKenna, reportedly raised the issue (http://www.nationalobserver.com/2017/03/03/news/trudeaus-government-just-spoke-trump-administration-about-climate-change) with U.S. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt earlier this month. Canada has also said it will push forward regardless of the U.S.

India
India has long-emphasized that it must deal with its own development without necessarily prioritizing global warming, but since the election the country's energy minister has said that the country will continue to push for clean energy. “India does not get affected or dictated in policy or direction by any other part of the world,” said (http://www.climatechangenews.com/2017/02/09/trump-wont-impact-indias-climate-drive-says-energy-minister/) Energy Minister Piyush Goyal in February.

It takes a lot of existing offers and future promises
to add up to $110 billion. Donald J. Trump may be unpredictable, but there is one common theme that runs throughout his presidency: a penchant for exaggerating his achievements. From his insistence (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pressured-park-service-to-back-up-his-claims-about-inauguration-crowd/2017/01/26/12a38cb8-e3fc-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html?utm_term=.a31d23657456) that the crowd at his inauguration numbered over one million people to his claim (https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/853604334944354305) to have rebuilt the military before his first budget was even announced, the president is perfectly comfortable claiming credit for things that have not, in fact, occurred.

So it may be with the new arms deal with Saudi Arabia, pegged by the Trump administration as worth up to $110 billion (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/us-saudi-arabia-reach-tentative-pacts-potentially-worth-110-billion/2017/05/20/2a919826-3d91-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.b716a04ee1da). Many of the items mentioned as part of the package had already been offered to Riyadh during the Obama administration, including a Patriot missile defense system (http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/kingdom-saudi-arabia-ksa-patriot-advanced-capability-3-pac-3-missiles-and-support), Multi-mission Surface Combatants (http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/kingdom-saudi-arabia-multi-mission-surface-combatant-mmsc-ships), attack (http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/saudi-arabia-ah-64d-apache-uh-60m-blackhawk-ah-6i-light-attack-and-md-530f-light) and transport helicopters (http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/kingdom-saudi-arabia-ch-47f-chinook-cargo-helicopters), and artillery systems (http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/kingdom-saudi-arabia-howitzers-radars-ammunition-and-related-support). The value of these offers runs into the tens of billions of dollars.

U.S. to Attempt Simulated North Korean ICBM Intercept (http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/05/26/pentagon-attempt-first-icbm-intercept/)


Pentagon officials said on Friday that next week will mark the first attempt to shoot down an intercontinental ballistic missile in flight, closely simulating a North Korean attack on the United States.



The system, known as Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), has been notoriously compared to “hitting a bullet with a bullet.” More precisely, it involves hitting a rocket with a rocket that launches another rocket.



“An interceptor is to be launched from an underground silo at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and soar toward the target, which will be fired from a test range on Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific.

Syria has demanded an immediate halt to US-led airstrikes after another 35 civilians were killed by a coalition airstrike this week. In a letter to the UN, Damascus says these strikes create chaos and help terrorist launch attacks against government troops.



the letter also accused the coalition of often targeting the “Syrian Army which is fighting terrorism,” noting, that such strikes conveniently coincide with offensives launched by ISIS and al-Nusra on the ground.

Three Leakers Of Classified White House Information Said To Be Identified, Expected To Be Fired (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-29/three-leakers-classified-white-house-information-said-be-identified-expected-be-fire)

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fp_thumb/images/user5/imageroot/deep%20throat%20garage.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-29/three-leakers-classified-white-house-information-said-be-identified-expected-be-fire)
Three leakers of classified information at the White House have been identified and are expected to be fired, according to CBS which adds that leaks of Trump's conversation with Lavrov are by officials who are holdovers from President Obama's administration.

Trump is preparing a “war room” in response to the barrage of Russian news blanketing the media, and plans to restructure the White House communications strategy and possibly staffing.



But the biggest issue plaguing the White House at this moment is the seemingly relentless leakage of confidential information surrounding Trump’s activities, with Trump administration officials saying last week the recent high-profile leaks of classified information are “coordinated and timed.”



It has been confirmed that three leakers of classified information at the White House have been identified and are expected to be fired.



Last week, the Trump campaign released an email to supporters entitled “SABOTAGE,” in which the campaign said, “There are people within our own unelected bureaucracy that want to sabotage President Trump and our entire America First movement.”

In his first swing through Europe as president, Donald Trump left little doubt that he would pursue his “America first” policy in economic relations, creating a stir by denouncing Germany’s trade surplus with the U.S. and promising to end it.

Trump has criticized Germany’s trade practices before, right to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s face, and suggested that he wanted to negotiate directly with German leaders to fix America’s unbalanced trade with Europe’s largest economy.
But as part of the European Union, Germany does not negotiate trade agreements. That authority rests with the EU. Whatever problem Trump may have with Germany is really a multilateral one, not bilateral.
Trump has clearly indicated his desire to break from the past by negotiating trade deals one-on-one, as opposed to sitting down with a bloc of countries.
Trump argues that the U.S. has more leverage bargaining with individual countries, reasoning that America’s large market means it has more to offer and that virtually every country is running a trade surplus with the U.S.

Open Letter from Walter Burien - CAFR1.COM

Organized Slander and Malignant False Personal attacks
is NOT a secured right under the 1st Amendment

by Walter Burien - CAFR1
05/29/17
Cleaning up the organized corruption permeating government is a monument-us and daunting job.

With the organized corruption being so well entrenched throughout all levels of government, and generating such massive wealth for the players from the same, in plain language: "They don't play fair."

The recent Presidential election shook the entrenched gang based on the implied cleanup to purge the corruption. What was their response to protect their well entrenched syndicate?

ANSWER: The same as they did before the election was maintained and solidified: Organized Slander and Malignant False Personal attacks and what they are doing is "NOT" a secured right under the: 1st Amendment.

What is systematically being done is a showing of just how entrenched the corruption is. The public is not stupid (at least most of them). Now I have watched over the decades the inherently corrupt organized syndicate gang "play" the public as if they were automated stupid drones who could be directed in their thinking through spoon fed malignant contrived information designed to destroy or promote an intended target.

We all have seen this played out before the election and now even a more organized and systematically applied effort by the gang after the election. A gradually intensified masterful presentation frothing the malignant intent to marginalize and damage our president, Mr. Donald Trump and certain key players of his staff.

Now those who do not know what the First Amendment is, they can stop reading this article. They are part of the hopelessly lost sound-bite conditioned drone population, and the time it would take to make them well informed cognitive thinking individuals, in end result would be well after the planed destruction and final looting of our country taking place. This article is exclusively for the informed cognitive thinkers out there.

My personal feelings and sentiments as to what is being done to slander, malign, and personally attack Mr. Trump are as follows.

1. It is a very dangerous game the gang is playing. They weaken the standing the USA has with the global community. I note also that in this type of environment created by the gang, they also believe they can manipulate the responses from Mr. Trump to actual world events. I say this after watching what I consider a mistake Mr. Trump was baited into making. Notably: The attack on a Syrian military air-base.

Those who do not have a short-term memory will recall that several years ago the syndicate gang wanting to attack Syria staged a chemical weapons incident blaming Syria in their attempts to use Military force to attack Syria. Well it almost worked until it was shown and proved that the chemical weapons use was done by insurgents (probably in coordination with a CIA covert op) to falsely justify an attack on Syria. The covert-op came real close to accomplishing the intent for a military attack but the false assertion backfired through assertive and timely investigation by the international community.

Well, it almost worked once, why not do the same and make it work again by baiting and pushing Mr. Trump into attacking Syria at this time as the gang froths at the mouth with a new presented oppertunity to do so. By them utilizing the same routine that almost worked before.. Well, they were successful in motivating Mr. Trump to attack Syria, and to his detriment in the international community.

Currently, the military option is being focused on N. Korea, a very real and dangerous circumstance. The response the USA should give to this circumstance? Well, what I would suggest is a four prong response:

A.) China is the "Parent" country to N. Korea. China should not tolerate the rhetoric coming out of N. Korea per an attack on the USA combined with long-range missile development. It should be made very clear to China that the threats from the child will bear on having responsibility and consequences to and for the parent. China can stop N. Korea cold in its tracks and should be required to do so.

B.) We have spent a few trillion dollars on our Star-Wars missile defense program. Let's not let it go to waste. Make it very openly clear to N. Korea that any further long-range ballistic missile tests they conduct will be without hesitation shot down after launch by the USA. A little target practice would be a good thing in this circumstance.

C.) Direct and severe sanctions levied immediately against N. Korea by the USA until N. Korea changes their tune.

D.) Organize and implement world condemnation against N. Korea for openly and intentionally threatening World Peace. China, Russia, and the USA should be the fore-runners in this effort with all and as many other countries joining into the condemnation.


2. The key buzz word the gang is using over and over again as if a promoted dreaded threat is Russia, Russia, Russia.

RUSSIA is a world power. All and every attempt to have a friendly, open, and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with Russia is a must to be in place.

"How many other countries openly endorsed Mr. Trump", many.. But it appears Russia has been selected by the gang as the "Buzz Word".

In my personal opinion, if before the election Vladimir Putin staged an event in the USA in line with his famous picture were to ride his horse from East to West across the USA in a "Ride for Trump", yes that would be "influencing the election" and that event would have been just fine with me.

ANYONE supporting a candidate for public office in the USA, if from the USA or elsewhere "is" a hallmark this country was founded on.

The effect of ANYONE'S support of a candidate will have negative or positive effects that will motivate voters to vote one way or the other.

The event example noted here could not have been done due to security concerns for Mr. Putin. But if it had, I believe that due to the sentiments of the voters wanting to see a friendly, open, and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with Russia , Hillary would have lost the election by another 25 to 30 million votes.

3. Spoon feeding to the US Population selectively contrived half-truth or false information to the population is a well refined art. An art proven to be very effective over and over again throughout history. The gang and their well entrenched cooperatives from the syndicated media know this all to well.

If the gang for whatever reason targeted Mother Theresa for jay-walking in NY City as if a capital offense, after a while, with one contrived false story as fact being masterfully presented coming out, and to the detriment of the people of the United States, they would have the useful idiot drones chirping here, there, and everywhere for her execution to the dismay of the majority of the population wondering if this country has gone nuts. Bottom line is that the Gang is very good at their organized and false attacks against anyone.

4. Read the writing on the wall and remember "who" is participating in the organized and methodical false and contrived attack on Mr. Trump. They are the well entrenched agents of the syndicate. Let them bear the mark of who and what they are.

5. "If" the corrupt syndicate is to be diminished and perpetually loose their in-place influence over this country, they must be overwhelmed with descent and indignation from a disgusted population in a direct, open, and effective manner. Let those talking heads and especially the directors from ABC, NBC, etc., or any other participant that is cooperating with the contrived, orchestrated, created out of false innuendo, attack against our president, that they are in no uncertain terms, human garbage. If that becomes the "Buzz words" of the day, it will out of their own survival instincts stop their organized venture.

6. The following comment is directed to Mr. Trump: As noted, Organized Slander and Malignant False Personal attacks and what they are doing is "NOT" a secured right under the First Amendment. It is slander and defamation. Additionally when it is being done systematically as an organized "programed" venture, for all intents and purposes it crosses the line of racketeering and establishment of a criminal enterprise.

If possible, and I strongly urge, that a multi-billion dollar "class action" law suit be expeditiously implemented against the syndicate players involved. ABC, NBC, CNN, and ALL individuals that have clearly established, proven, and showed they were and are actively involved. I say make it a class action being: Let every individual from the USA, participate in the "Class".

You may just have 80 to 120 million individuals sign up to be a member of the class-action.

Many individuals from this country who now know the score are crying to STOP the syndicate that has slithered into the controlling forces over this county.

There is countless evidence now available to establish the malignant and falsely contrived intent of the syndicate operating as an organize racketeering entity in concert with each other, to within a predominance of the evidence, a judgement as requested can be secured on the class-action.

I do not know the over-all limitations on the Office of The President, but if this action is possible, I, and I believe tens of millions of Americans would be a 110% for this to take place, done directly or indirectly in your and this countries behalf.

As the old saying goes: "If you want to give someone an attitude adjustment, hit them in their pocket-book".

A class-action such as this would do just that to where "Fair Play" based on truth becomes the predominate factor and not the exception..

Two days after Trump returned from his first international trip, and confirming media reports of an imminent shake up within the White House communication team (and away from it) moments ago NBC and ABC reported that Trump's communications director, Mike Dubke has resigned and is leaving the White House.
He offered to stay through the overseas trip, and Trump accepted. He has been trying to help restructure the press and communications operation, and is parting on good terms, a senior administration official said, which probably suggests he is not suspected of leaking Trump confidential information.

Trump wants bilateral trade deals but individual nations can’t do it or are reluctant (http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/trump-wants-bilateral-trade-deals-but-individual-nations-cant-do-it-or-are-reluctant/)

Lets play ball.

The Don should charge all EU countries a flat rate on imports to the US of 100%.

Then renegotiate with the EU countries willing to play ball.

Lets see who will back down in this game of chicken first. (The USA would not need to I can tell you that).

Then when the first EU country enters seperate negotiations we will see the EU become a toothless tiger and begin to crumble and fall apart.

One of the pillars of democracy erodes before our eyes. The ability to disagree with the politically different disintegrates under red and black flags, and hooded rioters obscuring their faces. It’s not Donald Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump)’s secret police. It’s not something out of a dystopian novel. It’s the very real culture of permissive violence exploding from today’s left.
