    Amzer posted a link to another variant of this article, along with a nice summary of what it says, in Drake: Updates, clarifications and more (Post #1071).

    It's sobering, if it's anything close to true.

    I agree with what was found in the Free Canadian Press. Let me ask you all a couple of questions concerning the game that has been played. First, the Tea Party came out. It was started by concerned and very Pi&&ed people -with regard to the financial debaucle. Who runs it now, and who makes a bunch of money off it now?

    What about Occupy Wall Street? It too was started by concerned citizens, and... who runs it now? Who has claimed it?

    Most people don't even know if President Obama was born in the US, let alone read his book. Is turning America into a Socialist Country or, Communist Country the real change you, or I are looking for? As far as I'm concerned, it is an OLD answer to a new problem and will not suffice.
    As far as I'm concerned, Ben Fulford is telling people what they want to hear concerning change and that the change he refers to is the same change that has been planned to happen, only its being served to the alternative population on whole wheat toast.

    Thanks Paul!

    Reposting the summary here:
    Two depictions of the same event?

    Here, we know of Drake's take on it.

    Now, here is the other side of the same coin from Stan Deyo site:


    May 4, 2012
    Douglas J. Hagmann
    Hagmann Investigative Services, Inc. and Northeast Intelligence Network

    1ST PAGE
    • Civil war is coming to the US, and there's no stopping it
    • DHS prepping for economic collapse and money will be worthless.
    • Never seen it this bad; everyone is talking about what they personally will do.
    • DHS brass don't care and are conducting overt actions in plain sight. Most incoming troops are not for training (some are) but as part of a larger force.
    • All know BHO (Barack Hussein Obama) is constitutionally illegitimate.
    • All in Congress know this, and their families are being threatened to keep them quiet.
    • High level News Corp. people talked to the highest at DHS and TSA. The plan is to get people conditioned to seeing troops, paramilitary – get them conditioned to being searched.
    • Dollar will collapse – that will be the bigger event. The trigger event starts in Europe and then heads here. When we see that – start counting because we have only days left.
    • Bernanke / Geitner / top level bankers will be in hiding.
    • Election year – watch BHO's body language. Does he look afraid of not getting elected? "WTF wake up."
    2ND PAGE
    • Then race riots, class riots.
    • Farrakhan is on DIA payroll and he will help start these riots.
    • Then Civil War, not sporadic riots and uprisings here and there.
    • There will be no food – no ETMs – no gas.
    • People will RUN to camps for assistance.
    • Guns must be abandoned and left with police in order to get food.
    • BHO & Bernanke are behind every stupid economic move.
    • Something with China troops here, but China debt to be called in – 5.5 trillion total.
    • Rosebud: How easy will will it be to quell 300+ million people?
      No, the question is: How easy will it be to quell 300+ STARVING people who are unprepared?
    • Shoot to kill orders during collapse will be given to the police.
    • End of meeting
    • More later. Said next meeting 5 May (Sat.) outside of DC. Call Sunday.
    ************************************************** ****
    Corroborating event: Newly elected French president Francois Hollande is working at dumpimg the US dollar and at joining the BRICS nations (see: France to join BRICS nations?)

    Are both real?

    One disinfo of the other?

    Which one?

    Both disinfo?
    ***************************************************
    From: http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/46516:


    The state of affairs in the US and the events to be generated by the esnlavers are given in the follow up conversation between Hagmann and "Rosebud":


    My source stated that he has not seen things this bad since he began working within DHS. “It’s like they [DHS agency heads] don’t care about what the American people see or feel about what the DHS agencies are doing. They figure that if the average American will put up with being “sexually groped and nuked” just to fly, they’ll accept almost anything. “That’s why their actions are becoming more overt. “It’s in your face and the brass actually chuckle about it” said my source.


    and:


    “They’re power hungry, and they want to remain in charge,” stated this source.

    The “surreal” aspect of suspended elections won’t look so surreal when you see any or all of the “trigger points” take place in the not-so-distant future.

    “The end-game plan for America is its destruction as a Constitutional Republic, with the assistance of the agencies under the umbrella of the DHS.”

    My source stated one more thing that seemed to tie things together. He urged me to recall the quote by Henry Kissinger who was speaking at a Bilderberg meeting at Evian, France, on 21 May 1992:

    "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."

    That threat need not be from beyond. All it might take is a world of starving, broke and desperate people.

    *******************************************

    Accordingly, the US is under siege as in olden days when castles were surrounded and all supplies cut out... therefore, a 3-months survival reserve might not be enough. Alex Collier suggests having enough reserves to last over 8 months.

    When I first read it, I was suspicious because it was so well-written. That guy is a good storyteller and knows how to set the scene, to suck in the reader. However, I then realised that just because he's an engaging writer doesn't mean that his story is fiction and the reason it's resonating with me is because the kind of scenario being painted in his article is exactly what I have been fearing about Drake's 'plan', in that it would cause Civil War and mass rioting on the streets in which innocent people would be killed ...and it would be a great excuse to bring in the Stormtroopers, which I get the impression some in the US are itching for. Even Drake's proposed three-day shutdown of power and bank closures, with the borders sealed, would be enough to cause riots in many cities in the UK.

    But let's just say, hypothetically, that we all in the alternative community did believe in Drake's 'plan'. In terms of numbers, we would be just a drop in the ocean of what could be a raging tsunami of rampaging discontented mobs who don't give a flying fig about sovereignty or the Constitution. It took a lot less than a three day shutdown of the Machine last summer to bring out those kinds of rioters here, which is why this bit rang so true to me:

    "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful."

    Last summer, I found myself fervently praying that the police would put down the riots before they got to me and set my house on fire. It took the police three days to get it under control... and even then, I think, it was partly because the rioters had got all the trainers and designer sports gear that they could carry and had run out steam. They 'shopped' till they dropped, in other words.

    Ishtar, that is shocking news coming from England as that country is much more conservative in their public mannerisms than the U.S.. I left RAF Bentwaters in 1992 and hated to go, but if the U.S. falls into riots I can almost guarantee that they will be far worse as many people in the inner cities are hardly any better than wolves.

    It's not so different here, although being British, we put a euphemism on it: "the feral underclass".

    A friend of mine said the other day, referring to his nearest city: "If the power goes off for three days, and there's no food, I'll be straight to xxxxxtown to get my son, because the sort of people that live there will eat their young."

    That may be an exaggeration (and I pray that it is)... but when you've experienced the riots that we did last summer, you know exactly how much these people will listen to you as they're coming through the door when you try to explain to them about sovereignty and Freedom of the Land (as we call it here). They torch your house just for the fun of watching it burn. They make you strip naked just for the fun of humiliating you. These people hate most of us and will lose no chance of this 'crack in the establishment armour' to 'get even'.

    I'm sorry to paint such a grim picture... but we had more than a flavour of this last summer.

    Interesting info...a bit long but well worth a read IMHO
    Reads like the far-right spin on economic turmoil. Blame Obama, blame government, then insist that Obama's racially dividing while calling him by his middle name, a known racist attempt at dog whistling from the last election, and then pepper in a hefty dose of "Oooh! Don't put the Rich against the poor!" which is really code for "We don't want the poor to realize how badly they're getting screwed! Quick, let's give them someone else to blame so we can keep pilfering their lives with the same corporate capitalist ponzi scheme!" Trayvon Martin's case was definitely politicized but when people talk about that they miss what the angle was, namely that the only outstanding factor was that THIS one case of racial injustice finally was made public by the MSM and trumpeted when similar instances or racist violence in southern states get regularly covered up.

    I expect if nothing is done by someone the economy will inevitably collapse, the investor class has made too many bad bets and there's just not enough to keep paying them. The investor class has been known to work predominantly through the far-right side of the political spectrum to try and convince people not to blame them or the banks for the things they do. Not that the left isn't being manipulated as well but in an entirely different way, the far right is the side that gets galvanized into violent response and the left is manipulated into appearing as a convenient straw man for the investors to use to goad the right-wing reactionaries into action. It's still a kabuki run from both sides, it's just that how either side is run is entirely different from the rest.

    In the case of the left they're made to appear far more menacing as they are, to keep them from being able to form a sensible dialogue with the other side of the political spectrum (when serious compromise might be possible if both sides can set a baseline for negotiations and is wiling to fully consider good-faith compromises, and is willing to admit to faults and concede to the other side graciously when debating practical implementations of solutions.) I can't say I really know what the full story is, but if I were to hazard a guess I'd say that this is part of a play to try and peel off as many right-wing types as possible from supporting any government action done while we have a Democratic President. It's laced with all of the typical scare-words used to conjure up scary memories of Soviet Russia and other situations that tend to work to motivate the right to the polls, it's got dog whistles to racists, and it's filled with a narrative meant to demonize any of the current political forces that might, in some way provide benefit to the poor (demonizing Keynesianism and progressives, traditionally the political force associated with programs which provide aid to the poor.)

    So it reads like a press release put out by someone who purposefully wants you to blame the coming economic collapse solely on progressives/democrats and anti-poverty programs so that after the collapse the Rich can make out like bandits.

    The Invasion of Coconut Grove, Miami

    A joint drill between military and police in South Florida involving troops storming a building in the middle of the night was characterized by local media coverage not as a frightening example of how Americans are being acclimatized to accept a state of martial law but as a ‘cool tourist story’.

    Panic-stricken residents in Coconut Grove were awoken at 1am to the sound of simulated gunfire and explosions as military helicopters hovered over buildings and dispatched troops to the ground.

    The Department of Defense drills prompted a deluge of 911 calls, but instead of asking why the military is terrifying American citizens on U.S. soil with drills designed to acclimate the public to accept martial law, local news station WSVN-TV framed the incident as a ‘cool tourist story’.

    This is definitely happening. I've been studying it in depth for over a decade and with my aspergers I can focus hard. I've read in excess of 20,000 hours on it but getting people to believe it is almost impossible. It's why I live in a wigwam surrounded by trees and gardens. I've been preparing for it since I confirmed the problem is real.

    It's called cascading systems failure and it's the result of a system dependent for its existence on growth hitting physical limits.

    If you do a search for Olduvai Theory (edit misspelt it in original post ) you'll get an overview of what it looks like.

    The financial side is just a symptom of the greater problem. I've never studied anything as intensely as this before, you wouldn't believe how frustrating it is to be disbelieved on this by almost everyone because once you get your head round the problem it is so simple to understand. All the evidence, including evidence about the governments being informed is at http://dieoff.org/dieoffindex.html

    That's the old index of the site where I first learned about it. The new site is at http://dieoff.org/

    I've been watching all the predictions from that and similar sites happen over the last decade one after another.

    Please take it seriously and become as independent as you can of the current system.

    There may only be a few weeks till things fail badly.

    I know it sounds dramatic but it's a very real and present danger and it's the only one I've come across that has mountains of hard data behind it, most of the others are distractions to muddy the water.

    Thanks for that link, Joedjemal. Lots of good information there, starting with 'capitalism has now become illogical'. You might want to investigate the Zeitgeist Movement if you haven't yet. They offer another way of looking at things. Too late, perhaps, for us, but maybe a way out of the depths for our great-grandchildren, if anyone survives.

    one thing I've had a hard time dealing with.. IS the so called "progressives " community total ignorance of the genius that exists in the disabled community. Shakes her brothers hand God bless you mate. You are dead right.. I keep telling folks plant a garden, get to know your neighbors and get your heads out of the damn metal and plastic machines.. Great post.. I have a dear friend whose son is like you highly intelligent high functioning with Aspergers.. folks judge him. They should listen to him instead. I wonder how long the progressives will keep dismissing what those of us in the disabled community knew 20 years ago.. Peace be with you brother

    I agree with you joedjemal (though place it as a gradual decline over the coming 5 to 10 years reaching an end point around 2050) and have spent the last decade preparing for what I see as the inevitable results (ie chaos and an attempt by centralised structures at increased totalitarian "governance" using State sanctioned so-called "legitimate coercion").

    For those who are interested investigate local food and water sources, community supported agriculture, local currencies might be of assistance until people get used to sharing (Bernard Lietaer's book 'The Future of Money: Beyond Greed and Scarcity' is an excellent introduction if you can find a copy of it) and of course Permaculture as a means of not only survival but decentralised grass root organisation. Remember social capital is more important than fiat money. Co-operation not competition.

    You might want to investigate the Zeitgeist Movement if you haven't yet. They offer another way of looking at things. Too late, perhaps, for us, but maybe a way out of the depths for our great-grandchildren, if anyone survives.
    The Zeitgeist Movement is not pertinent to this discussion and, after a personal lengthy evaluation of it, in my view is only a way of removing activists from grass root direct action. This relates directly to the issues as they apply to Jacque Fresco's 'Venus Project' which in 25 years of activity has managed next to nothing of use. Please see this thread at Avalon that discussed both the Venus Project and its activist arm: the Zeitgeist movement. I do agree with you that anything we do now should be regarded as for 2 generations on from our own (out to at least 6 generations).

    Ishtar, that is shocking news coming from England as that country is much more conservative in their public mannerisms than the U.S.. I left RAF Bentwaters in 1992 and hated to go, but if the U.S. falls into riots I can almost guarantee that they will be far worse as many people in the inner cities are hardly any better than wolves. Rich
    It's not so different here, although being British, we put a euphemism on it: "the feral underclass".

    A friend of mine said the other day, referring to his nearest city: "If the power goes off for three days, and there's no food, I'll be straight to xxxxxtown to get my son, because the sort of people that live there will eat their young."

    That may be an exaggeration (and I pray that it is)... but when you've experienced the riots that we did last summer, you know exactly how much these people will listen to you as they're coming through the door when you try to explain to them about sovereignty and Freedom of the Land (as we call it here). They torch your house just for the fun of watching it burn. They make you strip naked just for the fun of humiliating you. These people hate most of us and will lose no chance of this 'crack in the establishment armour' to 'get even'.

    I'm sorry to paint such a grim picture... but we had more than a flavour of this last summer.
    I coudnt agree less. As someone who could hear the police sirens during the riots, as I sat in my house.. I am not an outsider looking through a fluffy lense. Those kids were unparented, uneducated, brainwashed, bored, suffering from AD, people in need of love and attention. And as you well know, the community spirit that got together to clear up the mess those kids made was heartwarming beyond belief. Those kids actually just wanted a group activity.. they were BORED. The materialism was a big red herring. They wanted to feel good about themselves.. it isnt that they feel so bad about other people, that is a mask covering their sense of defeat and neediness. Talk to those kids with any warmth and humour and they respond like dogs in a rescue shelter.

    This is definitely happening. I've been studying it in depth for over a decade and with my aspergers I can focus hard. I've read in excess of 20,000 hours on it but getting people to believe it is almost impossible. It's why I live in a wigwam surrounded by trees and gardens. I've been preparing for it since I confirmed the problem is real.

    It's called cascading systems failure and it's the result of a system dependent for its existence on growth hitting physical limits.

    If you do a search for Olduvai Theory (edit misspelt it in original post ) you'll get an overview of what it looks like.

    I live in a wigwam on a Permaculture farm and I'm in the middle of my diploma in applied Permaculture. I used to have a suburban self sufficiency system set up in East Manchester but I didn't feel safe there as far too few people were interested in prepping.

    G'day Joe,

    Well done in doing your diploma. The more the merrier is what I have to say when it comes to Permies.

    I understand your need to remove yourself from a built up urban area. Have done a similar thing for what I imagine are much the same reasons.

    Alot of people have started talking about fiat money and fractional reserve banking. Many may not be aware that this has been discussed by Permaculturists since the 80's. The general consensus appears, to me at least, to be 'give unto Caesar that which is Caesar' (all you Christians don't have a heart attack at me referencing the Bible lol) and just create different forms of exchange, that largely ignore the State sanctioned monetary system, or simply share (ie give away) what is surplus to requirements (I am referring to local groups here, not farming operations which by necessity operate either within or on the edge of the State sanctioned monetary system). From memory the final chapter of 'Permaculture: A Designers Manual', the exhaustive tome by Mollison, lays out alternate systems of localised community management and (again this is from memory) includes alternate currencies, legal entities (to be able to work within the system), worker cooperatives (in particular Mondragon) and "sustainable" (though I always prefer the term "self reliant") community development.

    Always remember that, as Dave said in the above presentation, 'Permaculture is a subversive process'. Those who try to ridicule it refer to it as "only a form of organic agriculture done by hippies" or focus on areas of legitimate contention in relation to organic system processes, but we understand it is a form of decentralised grass root activism aimed at overcoming the present system of imbalance and presenting an alternative societal design structure, which is not based on the ever increasing economic "growth" models of capitalist rhetoric, but on people knowing people and working to produce a future, not a profit.

    Rosebud strikes me as pure disinformation agent:

    "The whole purpose is to keep Obama in office for another term, no matter how unpopular he is, as he is not finished changing our country from a Constitutional Republic."

    This makes no sense. He is talking as if we had a Constitutional Republic before Obama was elected. Did we have a Constitutional Republic while Bush Jr. was in office? Or did we have a Constitutional Republic while Clinton was in office? Bush Sr.? Reagan? Carter? Nixon? I don't THINK so...!!!

    The fact is, I still believe something my history teacher taught me in high school -- and he went into a lot of detail and explanations I no longer can recall -- but the bottom line that I learned was this: the President of the United States has very little power. Most Presidents as far as I can tell have been "handled" (excepting Bush Sr. who was a handler himself and an ex-CIA Director). Yes, in some ways it is a key position; but in many more ways, it is not. And to act like Obama invented the rush to NWO status is sheer naivete.

    I don't know who Obama really is. When he first ran for office I got a good feeling about him, but I was 100% skeptical -- not because he didn't seem like a good guy, but because I could not believe that Jesus Christ or Buddha or Kali herself could turn things around from the Office of the U.S. Presidency, because it is and has been corrupted so deeply and for so very long.

    Now there are some who are saying Obama really is a good guy. The most interesting and somehow startling things I have heard lately are stories of young children having strong feelings about Obama. They LOVE him. One friend told me about how her 11-year-old daughter broke down and cried the night he was elected (although her parents were not gung-ho cheerleaders for Obama). I know another woman who pulled her car over off the highway and broke down and cried when she heard he was nominated by the Democratic Party to run for President. She knows about all the corruption that is in politics and yet she still believes in him despite what has transpired in the past few years that has caused many in the community to vilify him.

    How do I feel about him? I really don't know. I know I have not liked a lot of things that have been blamed on him. But I also know that he didn't do half of what he is blamed for (such as how the pharmaceutical and insurance industry lobbies made "Obamacare" what it is today -- as something not at all what Obama wanted). A lot of the "same old super-crap" from previous administrations has continued -- the constant wars, for example. And yet Iran has not been attacked. I also have not seen any huge false flags on American soil during his watch. All the machinations of what goes on in D.C. and beyond are beyond me, and that's for sure.

    I like the idea that Obama could be a good guy after all -- who has had to maneuver himself (and compromise) in ways to convince the dark cabal they could trust him to do their bidding and is now going to pull a switcheroo, as Bill Brockbrader claims. I have seen the article on VeteransToday.com reporting that Obama has rejoined the U.S. to the treaty with the ICC -- the International Criminal Court. The court that Bush had pulled U.S. out of said treaty to protect guilty American war criminals guilty of torture and more -- such as Cheney, Rumsfeld, himself and others (such as the ones recently convicted of torture in Kuala Lumpur). Some say it's not true and that article on VeteransToday.com is disinformation. But that if it is not?

    I did some research (which I reported on my blog at avocadess.com/door2) and found a pdf explaining that all Obama would have to do to rejoin that treaty is send a NOTE to the UN Secretary-General. Immediate ratification not even needed. If he did it, it opens up the possibility that these controller elites could be arrested and even executed.

    I like that picture. You may say I'm a dreamer, but like John Lennon said, I'm not the only one.
