A World War Has Begun: Break the Silence - John Pilger

How many people are aware that a world war has begun? At present, it is a war of propaganda, of lies and distraction, but this can change instantaneously with the first mistaken order, the first missile.

In 2009, President Obama stood before an adoring crowd in the center of Prague, in the heart of Europe. He pledged himself to make "the world free from nuclear weapons." People cheered and some cried. A torrent of platitudes flowed from the media. Obama was subsequently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It was all fake. He was lying.

The Obama administration has built more nuclear weapons, more nuclear warheads, more nuclear delivery systems, more nuclear factories. Nuclear warhead spending alone rose higher under Obama than under any American president. The cost over thirty years is more than $1 trillion.

A mini nuclear bomb is planned. It is known as the B61 Model 12. There has never been anything like it. General James Cartwright, a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said, "Going smaller [makes using this nuclear]weapon more thinkable."

In the last 18 months, the greatest build-up of military forces since World War Two — led by the United States — is taking place along Russia's western frontier. Not since Hitler invaded the Soviet Union have foreign troops presented such a demonstrable threat to Russia.

Ukraine — once part of the Soviet Union — has become a CIA theme park. Having orchestrated a coup in Kiev, Washington effectively controls a regime that is next door and hostile to Russia: a regime rotten with Nazis, literally. Prominent parliamentary figures in Ukraine are the political descendants of the notorious OUN and UPA fascists. They openly praise Hitler and call for the persecution and expulsion of the Russian speaking minority.

This is seldom news in the West, or it is inverted to suppress the truth.

In Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — next door to Russia — the U.S. military is deploying combat troops, tanks, heavy weapons. This extreme provocation of the world's second nuclear power is met with silence in the West.

What makes the prospect of nuclear war even more dangerous is a parallel campaign against China.

Seldom a day passes when China is not elevated to the status of a "threat." According to Admiral Harry Harris, the U.S. Pacific commander, China is "building a great wall of sand in the South China Sea."

What he is referring to is China building airstrips in the Spratly Islands, which are the subject of a dispute with the Philippines — a dispute without priority until Washington pressured and bribed the government in Manila and the Pentagon launched a propaganda campaign called "freedom of navigation."

What does this really mean? It means freedom for American warships to patrol and dominate the coastal waters of China. Try to imagine the American reaction if Chinese warships did the same off the coast of California.

I made a film called, "The War You Don't See," in which I interviewed distinguished journalists in America and Britain: reporters such as Dan Rather of CBS, Rageh Omar of the BBC, David Rose of the Observer.

All of them said that had journalists and broadcasters done their job and questioned the propaganda that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction; had the lies of George W. Bush and Tony Blair not been amplified and echoed by journalists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq might not have happened, and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would be alive today.

The propaganda laying the ground for a war against Russia and/or China is no different in principle. To my knowledge, no journalist in the Western "mainstream" — a Dan Rather equivalent,say — asks why China is building airstrips in the South China Sea.

The answer ought to be glaringly obvious. The United States is encircling China with a network of bases, with ballistic missiles, battle groups, nuclear-armed bombers.

This lethal arc extends from Australia to the islands of the Pacific, the Marianas and the Marshalls and Guam, to the Philippines, Thailand, Okinawa, Korea and across Eurasia to Afghanistan and India. America has hung a noose around the neck of China. This is not news. Silence by media; war by media.

In 2015, in high secrecy, the U.S. and Australia staged the biggest single air-sea military exercise in recent history, known as Talisman Sabre. Its aim was to rehearse an Air-Sea Battle Plan, blocking sea lanes, such as the Straits of Malacca and the Lombok Straits, that cut off China's access to oil, gas and other vital raw materials from the Middle East and Africa.

In the circus known as the American presidential campaign, Donald Trump is being presented as a lunatic, a fascist. He is certainly odious; but he is also a media hate figure. That alone should arouse our skepticism.

Trump's views on migration are grotesque, but no more grotesque than those of David Cameron. It is not Trump who is the Great Deporter from the United States, but the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama.

According to one prodigious liberal commentator, Trump is "unleashing the dark forces of violence" in the United States. Unleashing them?

This is the country where toddlers shoot their mothers and the police wage a murderous war against black Americans. This is the country that has attacked and sought to overthrow more than 50 governments, many of them democracies, and bombed from Asia to the Middle East, causing the deaths and dispossession of millions of people.

No country can equal this systemic record of violence. Most of America's wars (almost all of them against defenseless countries) have been launched not by Republican presidents but by liberal Democrats: Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama.

In 1947, a series of National Security Council directives described the paramount aim of American foreign policy as a world substantially made over in America's own image. The ideology was messianic Americanism. We were all Americans. Or else. Heretics would be converted, subverted, bribed, smeared or crushed.

Donald Trump is a symptom of this, but he is also a maverick. He says the invasion of Iraq was a crime; he doesn't want to go to war with Russia and China. The danger to the rest of us is not Trump, but Hillary Clinton. She is no maverick. She embodies the resilience and violence of a system whose vaunted exceptionalism is totalitarian with an occasional liberal face.

As presidential election day draws near, Clinton will be hailed as the first female president, regardless of her crimes and lies — just as Barack Obama was lauded as the first black president and liberals swallowed his nonsense about "hope." And the drool goes on.

A good read, even if you don't agree with it 100%. Pilger points to the fact that the US has acted like an empire and that during the election cycle the western public falls for what is known as "Identity Politics" - cheerleading for people who are bought-and-paid-for wolves in sheeps clothing. For instance Obama was the first black President, acting as a progressive, while Hillary today, although not so progressive, would be the first female President. Deceptions.

Abby Martin Exposes Obama’s SOTU Double Speak

Abby Martin discusses the hypocritical and misleading foreign policy claims made during the State of the Union.



State of the Union hypocrisy.

If the fact that President Obama could immediately close Guantanamo because it is a military facility, and YET keeps pretending that he is 'constrained', doesn't ring alarm bells, then good luck to you. Incompetence and partisan (left/right) politics clearly does not explain everything that has been happening. The corruption aspect of what is occurring today is too often overlooked.

Here's a few other points that do not easily fall under the incompetence label: failure to prosecute Bush Administration officials for torture and illegal war, failure to prosecute bankers for fraud, the hiring of lobbysts into key positions of the Government, the hiring of neconservatives into key State Department (Vic Nuland) and UN positions (Susan Rice, Samantha Power), the war on whistleblowers, the escalation of executive orders that bypass Congressional oversight, the escalation of Government secrecy, the specific inclusion of detention without trial provisions in the NDAA Laws, the escalation of the drone war, the lies about Syrian chemcial weapons incidents, the lies about what is happening in Ukraine etc.

How to Avoid the Next Obama - Larry Pinkney on The Eyeopener

Larry Pinkney of BlackActivistWG.org joins us today to discuss how and why so many well-meaning Americans were bamboozled by Obama's "hope and change" routine in 2008. We discuss the failed establishment left/right paradigm and how the misleaders of the left who rally their flock around the Democrat flag every election cycle, as well as how community activism can lift us out of the cycle of abuse inflicted on the people by the political machine.



Pay attention to details. Don't be deceived by propaganda. It was easy to understand that Obama was going to be a corrupt leader in 2008 when you examined facts. Go for third party candidates and get involved in local Government to gain control of your area so that the established parties are put out of the picture.

MUST SEE: Have Voting Machines Already Made their Choice for Prez?

Essential Viewing ! A MUST SEE because this is where things are headed in a corporate controlled - fascist - state.

Yes, Obama is also a puppet for the corporations, but with Romney we get all the neocons back. Romney needs to be criminally investigated and Obama Impeached for his drone wars, his failure to prosecute Bush for torture, his failure to prosecute Bush for launching an illegal war, and his failure to prosecute bank fraudsters. Covering up a crime is a crime.

TYT: Is Obama Weak, Stupid Or Complicit? (or Democrat in Name Only?)

Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) talks about a new CBS News poll showing that 67% of Americans don't want a tax cut extension for the rich. He asks why president Obama is backing down on his promise to not give more tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.



This is a good angry rant. In answer to Cenk's questions ...yes, the Democrat leadership is pathetically corrupt. Obama is a fascist. There is only one political party in Washington DC: it is the combined Democrat + Republican party representing the establishment elite and special interests.

The real enemy of US people is their Government. NOTHING will change unless the population is fully informed about the deliberate nature of the left/right deception (the political theatre show that is Washington) and organised resistance mounted to get the country back.

What The Heck Is Wrong With Us!!?? What Part of THEY LIE TO US CONSTANTLY Don't You Understand?

an e-mail arrived in my inbox from the Kick them all out campaign and it is worthy of sharing  so here goes:

Quote To Remember

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.... Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same policies

Why Do So Many Fall For These People?

It absolutely confounds me why so many people fall for the STARS that the powers-that-be prop-up in front of us. How can otherwise bright, intelligent people become stupefyingly lame-headed and suckered by people that are clearly just saying exactly what everyone wants to hear? It happens over and over again. Once they are elected, they do nothing for us! Duh!!

Why do you think that is? Could it be that they never gave a damn about us to begin with? Could it be that when those in power offered to "make them rich and famous" and that they may have been seduced? No, that couldn't be it. Not our precious fill in the name of your favorite savior here.

The sad fact is many of us have been socially conditioned to idealize celebrity! It astounds me how easily people will glom onto someone and idealize them beyond any reasonable proportions. How many of our so-called leaders turn out to be worthy of our adoration and idealizations? How many discredited, corrupt political stars can look right into a camera, right into your eyes, smile and LIE without a second thought? That's why they pick these people. They can do this without any trouble whatsoever. Oh, but not Obama. He would never do anything like that. Sarah would never do anything like that. They are real. They are genuine, right? You just "know" they are by what you've seen on TV, or heard at a rally you saw her at. Or my God, she actually spoke to you personally at a rally. She seemed so real, so nice.

I think I may have to projectile vomit. Please excuse me for a moment . . .

Can you detect a bit of ire in my tone? I'm just so tired of seeing good people act out the same stupid behavior. There I said it. I said the "S" word.

Another strange thing that happens to many of us is when we see someone often enough on television we start to feel that we know them, as if they are a friend. Familiarity is not the same thing as friendship everyone. Friendship requires an actual relationship. Can any of you really say you know a darn thing about Palin or any of these people propped up before us? You only know what you've seen and heard through the media. Their sound bites are carefully orchestrated and controlled.

Some people were offended because I put the photo of Obama and Palin dancing in the campaign video. Nobody seems to have a problem with Obama being there, but "How dare I" put Saint Palin in with him! She's the real deal. She's "one of us."

Did any of you notice that Sarah Palin came out of nowhere just like Obama came out of nowhere? Suddenly she was thrust into the limelight with the full might and power of the establishment celebrity machine. She was everywhere and still is. They made her a star overnight and dazzled everyone inclined to be dazzled by her. She's gone from total obscurity to a multimillionaire folks. Do you really think they would have picked her if she wasn't going to serve their purposes?

There is no difference between what they did with Obama and what they are doing with Palin my friends. Look at that photo to the left. Look really hard and next time you watch Sarah, see if you can't see that this is exactly what she is doing. She's a performer. She's being paid a lot of money to do what she's doing. She's telling you exactly what she has been told you want to hear, what will sucker you in and make her more famous and powerful. Yes, she may believe some of what she says but make no mistake. She is not going to help us! Everyone who is gaga for Palin will see she won't deliver any better than Obama if she actually gets elected to anything. She is surrounded and controlled by the same "old guard" that's been in the primary "appointed" positions of power and advisory positions since Kennedy was assassinated.

Some people were also offended by the morphed photo of Obama and Bush I put in the campaign video. Don't you remember that Bush LIED to us about practically everything? Bush and his trusty sidekick Cheney, or was it the other way around, LIED us into Middle East wars that are still raging. If you're short on memory, watch this little video I put together. Bush's reign roughly doubled the size and power of the government, all accomplished through lies. He exploited 9-11 to put into place a domestic police state apparatus that would be right at home in Stalin's Russia, or Mao's China, or China today for that matter. He ended his reign by rubber stamping the first banker bailout. Remember the $700 BILLION which now has become over 24 TRILLION? Oh yea. Bush is a great sacred cow. He's a hero. He's the real deal.

The morphed photo of Obambush is the cold hard truth. There has been a total continuity of agenda passing from one administration to the next, from one Congress to the next and it's been like that for a very long time. Want more proof? Listen to this amazing speech given by Charles A. Lindberg given back in 1941 in which he talks about the exact same lunatics doing the exact same things.

This insanity is not going to stop until we stop being so gullible. To ignore this truth is pure folly. Go ahead and do what the Obama devotees have done, fawn over celebrity and soon you will all be hanging your heads, just like all the Obama zombies are doing right now.

It's Called Controlled Opposition Folks

It is a fact that those in power know how to manipulate and control us. It's a fine art to them. The best way to control the opposition is to become the opposition. They have been doing it for a long, long time. The second they feel a group can pose a threat they will infiltrate it and make sure their people will rise to the top leadership positions.

Another sacred cow to many people is Glen Beck. Folks, we can't afford any sacred cows. We have to see clearly without any wishful thinking sugar-coating our perceptions. Again, do you really think the establishment machine would give Beck a multimillion-dollar studio and an enormous salary if he wasn't going to serve their purposes? Come on!

Yes, he speaks the truth about many things. Great, however, haven't you noticed on every single major issue he has betrayed us? He was for the banker bailout. He's for a VAT tax (value-added tax) to pay down the fraudulent debt owed to the Federal Reserve. He trashed Ron Paul at every turn. He was going to expose the truth of FEMA camps. Oops, no, there aren't any FEMA camps. It's just another conspiracy theory.

Beck is being used to corral and control the Tea Party/Patriot movement. It's so obvious. Just because someone tells you things you want to hear, just because much of it is actually true, doesn't mean you can trust them, especially someone like Beck. He has a history of betraying our trust. We cannot afford to HOPE he is a different man now that he is speaking more truthfully. I would be willing to wager fake Federal Reserve money that he's only doing it because he's being told to do it by those that have made him rich and famous.

Remember the big march in Washington? Millions showed up and there was no media coverage. It's as if it didn't' happen. Remember all the rallies that have been held. Did any of those get the kind of coverage the recent Glen Beck extravaganza got? Hell no! Do you really think Beck's rally got the kind of coverage it got because it stood any chance of producing any real change? Come on! That event was simply a way to make everyone feel as if something is actually happening, that some actual momentum is beginning. It's not. Beck will not lead you anywhere except deeper down the rat hole. You will never hear him promoting anything that will create real change.

We're in deep trouble. We cannot afford to be seduced by the same old tactics we've been seduced by in the past. If we don't snap out of it, we are not going to prevail in this battle. We have to stop "hoping these people will save us." They won't. They are paid to make sure we are contained, that our anger and energy is siphoned off into things that will not lead us anywhere. They are paid to make sure we do not organize into any action that will actually change anything. If I were in real deep danger, I would not want someone like Beck or Palin watching my back!

We Cannot Effect Change In Congress By Changing Which Party Has A Majority.

The quote by Carol Quigley at the top of this newsletter says it all. The most important part of the quote:

"the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."

The only way to effect "real change" in Congress is to THROW THEM ALL OUT! It must be a total house cleaning. Members of both parties must be purged. The system must learn that we are onto them. We have to show them we know the two party system is a sham and that it's just one big party, the big government/globalization party, by stopping support for either party. It's simple to do. Throwing them all out shows the entire system we are not falling for the false left/right paradigm anymore. We want people that will honor their oath of office and "protect and defend our unalienable rights" first and foremost! We don't care what party they suck up to.

Every single election we play out the same stupid behavior. We play their game and only about 15% of the Congress turns over . . . if we're lucky. The vast majority of players remain the same and nothing changes for the better. When we play the "flip the Congress" game, nothing changes because the bureaucracy that really runs the show is set up to ensure the underlying continuity of agenda continues no matter which party is in control.

We have to stop playing their game and hold them ALL accountable. We have to demonstrate that we know the truth of things and stop acting like total idiots.

The bloodless coup in Washington

Written By FaithRMichaels
This is a conversation that is going on on Facebook
It is important enough to post here.
Darrel Drumright:
 A broad realization is happening among the electorate that there has been a bloodless coup in Washington. We are not going to free ourselves by rearranging mafia bosses in Washington that don't answer to us anyway.

There is a real solution. Obama is a foreign exchange student. The Federal Reserve is a foreign company that pretends to ...depend on the US Government. This foreign company bought America from the corporation THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 1913.See More

US poverty on track to post record gain in 2009

The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.
Americans and the sovereign states have been robbed ever since.


In the 21st Century we no longer need an elite class. End the public debt by re swearing congress to the Constitution then instructing the treasury to stop printing bonds and be...gin printing a new debt free currency similar to Lincoln's greenback. Put all international bankers on notice. If you want to do business with these United States, you must accept our currency as payment in full for all debts.

Then with complete transparency never before available, begin creating a publicly monitored quantity of electronic currency. Start with enough to pay off the public debt. Then on a second trounce, issue enough to pay off the private debt of all Americans.

On the second day, end the IRS, negotiate with the people it has been robbing for the last 100 years and reimburse American families.

On the third day, put all of our foreign bases on Ebay, (accept only Gold from foreigners) bring everyone home to hang out with their kin for a while.

On the fourth day, begin amnesty trials for all the well intended, but grossly mislead people living in Washington.

On the fifth day, begin negotiations with China and other foreign nations regarding the new situation in North America.

Then take a break for a couple of days.]

My responce:
That Bloodless coue took a deadly and sharp turn for more control of the country on 9/11 ..On that day our constitution went out the window in full view of the public when the patriot act came..and emergency was declared that is redeclared by our congress ever since and every year when it is time to redeclare it we conviently have people like the underware terrorist or some such come up and 9/11 is invoked again as the reason that they are continuing our emergency.

Our Constitution is the law of this land that is and has been violated and WE The People do not matter...cause they have taken it over.
They made sure the Constitution was null and void under war emegency power acts ...that they continue to perpetuate going from one place to another to keep war declared.
They can continue the coupe with just enough doubt in place within the public to keep it going...the reason we are in Afghanistan is not the been dead Bin Laden nor a defunct Taliban.... but the oil gas,rubies,sapphires,coal,copper,gold etc.
The Taliban would be the group that would keep us from getting those things... By keeping such a tight reign on stuff there that it would be a danger to any corporation trying to get those resources out of there soooo.we got to get rid of the Taliban is the song of the hr.

Call for a new independent investigation into 9/11 and then while we are doing that lets do this thing you have suggested and clean house..Fire them all!
Vote Green,or anyone else besides those two ruling parties that are heads and tails of the same coin and are corporate lackey puppets.
But one has to go a step farther cause think about it...who advises the president and congress etc. on National security???
Who is NEVER voted in and who is always in these places around the world??
Who would have the ability and technology available to pull this kind of thing off with False flag operations?
The CIA,NSA.alphabet people that is who and why do they go to these countries?
To protect our national interest and what is Americas National interests?
Natural resources that these countries have... that the ruling corporations require... for selling to the public with debt.
Those that would oppose this debt and unsacred way of living are the Indigenous populations that live in those areas so they get rid of them or poison them.
They keep people distracted by silly things such as a mosque at ground zero..stirring patriotic pride...acting on peoples deepest and darkest fears regarding religion...These are a few of the tools they control with.
For the rest there is the drug companies,stock markets,and joblessness.
Then there will come a "savior" to put it all back on track again.
That person will be backed by the corporations that are able to buy judges and politicians. a When that happens the really tired and weary masses will vote them in office on a PR campaign that will focus on making America right.
On hope alone they will get there like Obama and some that will come after.
 Darrel what you have placed forth  here is Vital to breaking the control element..and is a gift to humanity.It is consciousness we have to have and help...they can control anything else but awareness they cannot stop...Leaders they can kill off but not awareness. Each one teach one kitchen table ,neighbor talk, is the key.

Blog and tell it never stop and time will fade those who have done this thing into oblivion.

Tarpley: 'Obama, the Wall St. Puppet'

DISGRACEFUL CORRUPTION !!! There are NO limitations on the banks. The financial regulation bill discussed here is simply pure propaganda. We're still facing a lot of trouble thanks to the banksters.

The debt-loss cycle is impoverishing us all. There are solutions, but none of the ones suggested by Tarpley are likely to be enacted unless some level of protest is leveled at the Congress.

This clip highlights exactly who the US Congress is working for. Essential viewing.

Treason -A Notice to Public Servants

The Arrogance of Power

By Nicholas DeVincenzo

I find it totally ironic that the state would try to equate people who are asking questions about 9/11 with violence, and domestic terrorism. Look at what our government did in response to 9/11. Everything from the Patriot Act, domestic spying, torture, two wars/occupations, the bombing of Pakistan and Yemen; what do you call that? Millions of people in the Middle East have been demonized, displaced and hundreds of thousands killed. Now that's real violence!

Those of you who sit there believing the official narrative, and talk about the potential violence of an Alex Jones, or Richard Gage, I say to you what hypocrisy. What a misplaced and disproportional response to what the former Bush and now Obama administration is doing. They have and are using 9/11 as an excuse to wage what Obama calls a "Just War" in Afghanistan, and from my perspective a completely fraudulent "WAR ON TERROR". Is it any wonder that the state would engage in COINTELPRO type tactics to stop people from seeking a new investigation, 9/11 is quite literally their Achilles heel.

Meanwhile many have the audacity to call those who question 9/11, tin foil hat wearing, kooky, potentially violent, conspiracy theorists. You should be so pompous, snide and aggressive towards the violence of an illegal immoral war of choice, (Iraq) or with drone attacks that kill innocent children. The whole country of Iraq has been decimated, this can be compared to a woman being raped repeatedly until she is no longer her former self. Our troops are being used like pawns by those who harbor false notions of Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism.

Let's talk about terrorism; what do you think the Shock and Awe campaign was, that was perpetrated against the people of Iraq? What do you think they targeted? Everything that makes a civil society function. The so called smart bombs were dropped on water and sewerage treatment plants, power stations, bridges and on almost every one of Iraq's ministries except for the ministry of oil. This is terrorism. Iraq was virtually defenseless from aerial bombardment and had very little ground defensive military capabilities. All this death and devastation while the officials knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Or perhaps you still believe that there were, just as you believe the official story that building Seven fell due to fire. Or that the government was completely inept. Unfortunately the arrogance of those who identify with state power, matches the arrogance of power itself. Stop making those who ask legitimate questions illegitimate, stop enabling those who are using 9/11 for an ill conceived agenda to cover up their crimes.

Our government has lied to us on many levels, our government is and has been engaged in State Sponsored Terrorism abroad for centuries. Still you find it hard that some within our government might lie to its citizens and or be complicit in the crime of this century, the terrorist attacks of September the eleventh 2001. Well as the evidence builds it appears the chickens have come home to roost. For Native Americans and Black people the chickens have been coming home to roost since Columbus sailed the ocean blue. You see, Malcolm X was right, when he said that of the Kennedy assassination. I tell you, no I beg you humbly to take the rose colored glasses off. Also, I know for many of you, you are unaware that you even have them on.

Who determines the information available to you and me? Who frames the argument?
What are the perimeters of allowable beliefs, and who sets them? Who determines when a line is crossed? Like on the streets of New York, there is a shell game being played by the plutocrats, and it is being played out within the context of the major media and our perceptions.

September the eleventh 2001 was a marketing tool used to Manufacture Consent, your consent. The War on Terror was sold to the American Public with the skill of Madison Avenue and Wall Street. What are the motives? Why would this be done? The answers are not very complex, this is all about what is called Global Hegemony and Full Spectrum Dominance. In other words the consolidation of power, and this is being done at the expense of those who are deemed to stand in the way, and of the world's working class. Instead of the US military's budget being cut in half. it will be the living standards of you and I. If we persist in closing our eyes and not seeing things as they are.

It was said that Osama bin Laden wanted to destroy the US economy, well that has been done, but not at the hands of Osama or Al-Qaeda, but by the hands of Wall Street and the major banks, yes the very banks that were declared too big to fail. Think about that, Wall Street and the banks did what Osama could not; and has there been a war declared by our government on Wall Street? Of course not, for they are our government, they own the politicians we supposedly elect. We live in a Corporatocracy not a Democracy, run by big corporations like those that make up the military industrial complex. This is the Arrogance of Power personified, it is a mistake to blame the government per se, one needs to look at the puppet masters not their puppets. Like in Plato's Cave.

"Plato imagines a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality. He then explains how the philosopher (truth seeker) is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners".

If you think that I am a radical, I would say yes, for the meaning of the word radical is to get to the root of the problem, so yes I am a radical. I would tell you also that I am a revolutionary calling for a revolution, not a violent revolution, but one steeped in the evolution of ideas and consciousness, and for this you do not need guns. You need only to raise the level of your awareness and seek the truth, and yes the truth will set you free. Free from the bondage of propaganda and falsehoods. This world we live in is one of abundance, not scarcity, poverty exists throughout the world, because of the uneven distribution of wealth. 1% or 2% of the US population controls 90% of its wealth, something is not right there.

The Kings and Queens of old have merely moved into the boardrooms of Mega Corporations and think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations, or the now disbanded Project for a New American Century, yes the very Neo Conservatives who called for a Catalyzing Event like a New Pearl Harbor in their 2000 report called Rebuilding America's Defenses.

Make no mistake another world is possible, and it begins by taking a long hard look in the mirror. It is time for the collective consciousness of humanity to shed its arrogance, and realize that we are all part of the web of life. This means giving up what seems most dear to us, and what we may most identify with, as to whom and what we think we are, and in the end the truth is, what we are is life itself.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history
the way of truth and love has always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers
and for a time they seem invincible
but in the end, they always fall --
think of it, ALWAYS".

-- Mahatma Gandhi

Obama's State of the Union Address

Them was some BEEEAAAUUTIFUL words Mr.Obama.Inspiring even.Great dreams....well said ..well done.Now then if they can walk that talk instead of talking the walk then perhaps there is hope. It still remains to be seen.Personally I don't give a snowballs chance in hell for the ability of them to do it.However I have been wrong before..it doesn't happen often but it does happen.I would sooo love to be wrong regarding their ability to do the fixin of what ails us... and I say to them all on Capital Hill Prove me wrong! I dare you!
to read the entire speech just in case you did not hear it ....go here

America is walking into a Al-Queda trap

Of course the people don't want war ... that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Göring

"Recall that up front it was al-Qaeda's stated intention to bleed America's moral and economic resources dry by provoking us into direct military interventions in Muslim nations. By choosing the retaliatory option, we are playing precisely into their hands, and thus relinquishing the mantle of leadership."
(This is a quote from a Truth Out article linked to further down the article..)

Our government has forgotten the lessons of history specifically the lessons regarding the fall of Rome. Romes arrogance,and power and leaders lead Rome to a fall because they refused to take care of home preferring instead to conquer the world..NO ONE has ever conquered the world in any way. It cannot be done.
As soon as one gets a leak plugged someplace it springs a leak over somewhere else because of the pressure is the analogy.
So it is with America and any one else trying to impose their morals on all the world.
We are lead to believe that it is Christians against the Muslims and if we do not do something they will all have us bowing at sunrise and wearing headgear..HOGWASH!
Ain't gonna happen. Never has never will. The lessons of civilizations history make that very crystal clear.
In the leaders of America and the worlds mad pursuit of global prosperity for themselves,their corporations and their huge egos..they have forgotten several things that are very important.
One of the things they forgot is something glaringly obvious unless you are an ostrich or blinded by egomania.I will not say what it is because then they might attempt to manipulate that for themselves. But if you would like a clue go here
They think if they control and convince the world that their way is a moral right
"by GOD" they will win.
HAHAHAHAHA ROFLMAO!!!!
There is a very good article over at Truthout website on this matter.
Below is another quote from the article.

"The Peace Dividend: Whatever your views on war, one thing most people can agree on is the desire to live peaceful and productive lives. This includes the existence of an economy in which ordinary people can prosper and be assured of fairness in their wages, investments and expected contributions. The war ethos has shifted trillions of dollars from public to private coffers, and it has stimulated not economic growth, but a global recession. Ending war means more resources for education, health care, community development and environmental protection - all of which promise better prospects for a peaceful world than does the path we have been on until now."

The Christmas Underwear Terrorist

ChangeDaChannel


Obama's weekly address talked mainly about Yemen and the terrorist cells of Al-Qaeda.
It seemed to me to be nothing but a bunch of propaganda crap from Obama to justify more war..Obama spent about 20 seconds on our nations security failures and the rest was about getting the terrorist outside our borders in another country.
Well apparently they can't get the terrorist when they are pointed out and warned about IN our country. Why should we believe they can get them elsewhere?
While Obama says that he is going to make sure this does not happen again..that is what we were told after 9/11. The same type of departmental communication failure (that the government claims in it's official conspiracy theory of 9/11 allowed a "terrorist attack"to happen),.. happened again.

The failures and breakdown in communications that allowed this person to get on board that plane after the terrorist's father went to people in American government and said "hey my son is disturbed and going to do something crazy" or the fact that the FBI knew this man was up to something because he was on a watch list.. says more than Obama's words could ever say. Perhaps the problem is that the FBI watch list contains over half a million names.
I am quite sure that many on that list do not deserve to be there. So maybe if the FBI could actually get the real terrorists separate from those that are not terrorist they could get something done.
Either our government is full of irresponsible, bumbling, overpaid, freakin idiots, or that terrorist incident was allowed to happen to justify to us(We The People)why America's sons and daughters are going to be dying in Yemen now.
Obama's speech had nothing to do with focusing on the main problem which is not terrorists, but our government's inability to do its job under the broad sweeping Unconstitutional laws that we already have. Obama said that our Homeland security people deserved to be commended for the excellent job they have been doing that we never hear about. Well my first thought is... why didn't we hear about it... and the second thought I have is... from their actions that we do hear about... you could not prove it.
Ron Paul had something to say about this subject.

House passes bill they call Health Care Reform

Excerpt from a Truthout article.....
"Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who was the sponsor of an amendment that
would have allowed individual states to create a single-payer system -
essentially a Medicare-for-all bill - voted against the legislation.
Kucinich’s amendment was stripped from the House bill when it was
unveiled more than a week ago."

My thoughts on the matter:

This said it all for me. Instead of allowing individual states to pass some form of Health Insurance Coverage for all; The House passed a bill that bypasses states rights. Isn't this unconstitutional?
I am all for Health Care for all but the House and President is calling this a "single payer option" when it is only a mimicry of this.
This bill now goes to the Senate. I hope they send it back to the House for Dennis Kucinich's amendment. But I am not going to hold my breath.

President Obama calls to congratulate Afghan President on his "fraudulent"? election

President Obama called to congratulate Afghan President Karzai on his fraudulent, re-election??. Was Obama being sincere? If not then he has just publicly proven he will lie in a heartbeat. If he was sincere then he was congratulating someone who won an election that raises eyebrows,and is surrounded by calls of fraud!
(It is possible that Karzai would have won anyway but that we will never know now will we?)

What should have been said by Obama is something like this:
America wants the Afghanistan People to know that we support them in their ongoing quest to bring peace and stability to their country. Obama should have said that he would work closely with Karzai to help get this accomplished and he should have called Karzai and said I look forward to working with you to accomplish these goals but you have to establish the legitimacy of your election so that the people and leaders of the world respect your right to be in that office and support you...
Instead Obama said congratulations.

Tough talk from Obama regarding what the Afghan President must do in his country does not change the fact that he just publicly congratulated someone on winning an office by questionable means.
You see in my view of the world the greatest predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Obama has just shown the world his smooth ability to double speak and to quote lots of Hollywood movies regarding Native Americans; "HMMMMM methinks he speaks with a forked tongue!" I wish I could say I was surprised. After all doesn't fraud in elections happen right here in the USA?

Indigenous Peoples Rights

I know why the people in control of our government have not signed the United Nations Declaration regarding the rights of Indigenous people. They would have to release Leonard Peltier, admit the FBI COINTEL regarding the Pine Ridge Reservations and the subsequent unsolved murders,stop the radiation poisonings from the uranium mines,clean up the radiation mess it has already made,come up with the monies that were "lost" from mineral rights promised by treaty,leave alone or give back the sacred lands that have gold,coal and other riches on them, and it would open the door to lawsuits that have been ignored or falsely dismissed to be reheard.
So like cowards they hide from fear of the karma they have created and the suffering they have made and allowed to happen in the name of the almighty dollar and profit.

Obama has said that we might sign it and he is "thinking about it".
America is one of 11 countries that have not signed.
144 countries originally signed it but not America.
(Australia did come back and sign it making that 145 countries to sign and 10 that have not)

Many Cities in America have signed this Declaration and made moves to correct the harm done. It is wonderful to know that we still have people in government who do indeed have the courage to do what is right.
Unfortunately they are still the minority.
OK America lets make courageous people the majority.
Next election either do not vote and let your elected officials know why you are not voting or vote for a third party that does have the courage to do what is right.
The Green Party comes to mind as a good one to vote for.
Cynthia McKinny has guts and the fortitude to do what is right and is doing it.
I voted for her in the last election.

The Senior Republicans are the Extremist!

Van Jones resigned from being President Obama's Green Jobs advisor.
He resigned amidst controversy regarding his signing of a 9/11 petition.
This petition stated that Bush and Cheny were somehow responsible for 9/11,either by omission or direct involvement.The senior republicans were calling him unfit for his job. They were stating that his views on green jobs and the signing of that petition were "extremist" views.
Personally I am tired of being called an extremist by people who have clearly gone insane. People who sign legislation that makes no sense to any one but them, who send our country and our children to war for greed and profits, who continually support a ex-president and his vice president, when they are guilty as sin of war crimes, who allow our children to die from horrible diseases from lack of health-care,who do not give a damn about the homeless, who allowed this economic disaster to take place, and who caused people to lose their jobs in America. These self same people who have created a world crisis (remember Bush and the republicans were in charge when this whole mess started and had been in charge for 8 years), where America is more unsafe in the world than it has ever been. These people who vote to destroy our Constitution,who are guilty of negligence regarding 9/11 at the very least,complicity and masterminding 9/11 at the worst, who are guilty of allowing torture in We the Peoples name, and they are calling me and the hundreds of thousands of people like me an extremist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am tired of being called an extremist for wanting clean air to breath, for not wanting to look at mountains that have had their tops removed while the sludge contaminates mountain streams,destroying the ecosystem, contaminating poor peoples water and homes, for wanting fertile soil to grow things on,uncontaminated by poisons or radiation,healthy land for my children and grand children to grow up on and walk on, for not wanting toxic waste dumps in our communities, for not wanting the species on this planet to go extinct, and those &^%$#!!!!...Those people who call themselves Republicans that sit in office, who walk around with puffed up bloated minds , who CHOOSE to put their head in the sand,heads that are filled only with dreams of grandeur,have the audacity to call Van Jones and people who believe in the Constitution, who believe in truth and justice, who have strong family values,believe in God, and good health for Mother Earth and us all; an extremist!!!!!!!
They are clearly insane and have severe sociopath issues with paranoid delusions, near as I can tell.
These people are not true Republicans and do not represent the people they lie to,to get elected. These self same senior Republicans who are calling themselves "people who are for less government","family values","lower taxes", and "less spending", are the very same ones who placed this country in the bankruptcy mess it is now in!
They supported and allowed the FED to do this and did not support an audit for the FED.Senior Republicans and politicians who do not give a shit about you or me.
Senior republicans whose only loyalty is to the party. These self same Republicans who were in total control of the government when terms like.....
New world order,homeland,and drug Czars,came into being.
These terms have sounds of communistic fascism to me.
Senior Republicans and most of you politicians:
YOU PEOPLE ARE THE EXTREMIST AND YOUR VIEWS DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!

Afghanistan Riches and The Empires That Want Them

Emeralds of the finest quality,Rare Rubies, Brilliant sapphires, An abundance of semi-precious gems,coal , iron ,copper,gold, natural gas, and a large oil reserve.

Afghanistan -( A Capitalist/Commercialist dream) and a huge resource for energy companies.

The reason we are in Afghanistan is not the ever elusive(because he no longer lives on the planet) Osama-Bin-Laden but for the riches in natural resources that exist there.

Even President Obama is still using that catch phrase propaganda of Bin-Ladens name as to the reason we are there and sending more troops. I am fairly certain that He is Not Interested in 9/11 truth or Osama or he would not be using such language.

What I am certain about is the reasons America is going to stay in Afghanistan. These reasons have to do with China and Russia being in a competition for dominance over the continents resources. The reason the Taliban is a threat to us is that they KNOW what is in their countries and want in on the action.

The Taliban ruling there or anywhere else would severely hamper NATO and clog up /destroy the trade routes and free trade in that region. It is the very reason the warlords in Afghanistan are fighting for control. They want to be rich too and have dreams of being Kings.

China is the worlds second largest oil consumer .

The idea is to dominate and control the resources there not only in Afghanistan but on the whole Asian Continent. Everyone wants to rule the world in Afghanistan- From war lords to governments.

America is one of the main tools which China will use to accomplish this goal.(America thinks China is their tool)

Russia has gone home sorta but never out of the picture and not to be dismissed in this ongoing game of Risk.(a board game where the objective is to take over the world)

Guess who owes China big time?America does. In another blog post I asked what was the collateral or terms of the loan from China for America's financial bail-out?

Well it appears that one of the terms included Afghanistan.

This is a way to help China reach it's goal for controlling that Continent's oil and natural gas resources. One does not need inside info to see this, it is in plain site if one reads the world news from unbiased non- government controlled sources.

You see China and Russia are competing over the market in that corner of the world.

America also knows that in order for the USA to maintain power through out the globe there are certain things that must happen. One of these things is controlling through negotiation treaty or outright takeover the oil and natural resources of that region in the world. America needed a reason to sell the public to go to that corner of the world again and 9/11 and a war against Terrorism was it. This war on terrorism gives our government free reign to go any where in the world to fight it .(pretty brilliant when you think about it)

This was realised a long time ago ,many presidents back. Why do you think that America has been courting China for so long and turns a blind eye to their human violation problems like Tibet. Now they do have token talks regarding the issue to keep the public outcry down to a dull background noise. In plain words -Keep the Sheeple fed and get them jobs -trickle down the wealth and everyone's happy right? Sheeple go to work and their families get fed and clothed, homes and cars are paid for and all is right with the world right? (The main reason they will not bail us We The People Out) It is Capitalism/Commercialism at it's finest hour. This is what the CIA and other alphabet soup people from different countries around the world are doing when they say this" protecting America or what ever country's interest globally".This is what it is really about. This is the dream of the "New World Order" phrase that our Presidents keep spouting. It is not about human beings safety or human rights (although I am sure that is on the list of reasons somewhere ,most likely close to the bottom ) It is about Profit and simply put,Everyone wants to rule the world and these are the real reasons we are always in that part of the world. Vietnam, Korea,Kuwait,Iraq,Afghanistan, and so forth and so on. It is why that part of the world is always on American news. It's why they are worried about Iran and North Korea having Nukes.(that would change the power balence thereby interfering by adding another country into the equation )Nukes apparently is the magic word that gets a country noticed and into the powergame for control of world resources . Ruling the world and controlling the trade routes is the reason we have spent/given Trillions of dollars over time to countries on that continent .

The Spindoctors favorite catch phrase is "they are a threat to our National Security".

Translation they are a threat to our Money and are a threat to us ruling the Market of the world.

This natural resource rule the world power Game is the curse of the world for it is all about money first ,then humanity as a whole second (if cared about at all )beyond enriching those who do control the world/ (got there first) pockets/bank accounts.

They would not care about us at all except we are consumers who love to buy goods which gives them a market and makes them more powerful enabling them to get/rule more.. Our president keeps saying "we have to get the money flowing again" so he is bailing out Banks and CEO's and Bush before him right after 9/11? GO shopping spend money!!!

Those words say it all!

Apparently humanity is not grown up enough to know how to just share.

It seems that the rulers of countries are still Brat children in a global power struggle we used to call KING of the HILL. The Brat children are out of control and are playing with dangerous toys. Would somebody PLEASE call the MOM!

Wise Words From A Friend

This is an article that was sent to me in an e-mail from a friend who asked not to be named When I used it.

I believe this says it well and expresses my thoughts on the matter perfectly.

Dear friends,
I have followed the election of Obama on TV, and I see all the expectations and hopes of the people. Many of you have the same hopes. Of course I also have hopes. But not concerning Obama. I hope that people finally find out that it is better to have faith, especially in oneself. This is a time of 'do it yourself'. It is not a time to rely on some politicians with the hope that they will solve your problems. Do not forget that democracy in its origin means that the power is with the people and not with the rich or elected representants only. Do you have the impression that you have the power?
However, in times of Chemtrails, supported wars, massive political lies, many secret prisions and many more bad things, I think that this big excitement about Obama is based on not enough, or very little, knowledge about what is really going on. Many Americans who look behind the curtain of official policy and media information, begin to understand that things on our planet are not the way they look like. Things are not quite right. Many people get sick because of the dangerous substances big airplanes spray high above over many countries including Germany and other European countries. Here in our little town we get headaches, feel weak and tired and more. Because of a decision made in the US that spraying dangerous chemicals into the air could be healpful to save the climate. It will be very definitely helpful to kill many million of people all over the planet.
As this is happening even so in the US for a long time already, I wonder why nobody complains or does anything. Is our life so good that we do not mind about our health and future anymore? Do we do not care for our children, relatives and friends? Or do we really not care and let things just happen like this is not of any interest? What is needed to happen that people finally wake up?
Many of you make things extremely urgent when it is about to save the life on an animal. This is beautiful, and I thank everyone for this from my heart. But please, if we only go on this way as we do at the moment, soon we will not have any animals to save anymore. We need to act like a good doctor. A bad doctor makes a diagnosis and gives you a medicament that shuts down your pain. A good doctor makes more investigations and might even say that he needs to find out more. But in the end he will give you a treatment that cures you from the reason of your pain. This is the difference.
We need to be the good doctor. The one who looks behind the facade and finds the reason for the sickness.
Nobody can be forced to be interested into his own life,to find out about thruths, the saving of the life on our planet, or even to think about if the kind of life we are living is right or wrong. But after we all have taken so much from God's planet that we have turned into a wasteland, we should think about how much time is left, and if is our duty to act.
You all have friends who make efforts to give you information. The information is there. These efforts deserve more than just a 'noted, thank you!' as I see often in the comments.
Maybe I expect too much from people. But how can things ever change if not by the people.
Hitler once said: 'The best on people is that they do not think'. These words made me think.
We do not have much chance to save life. But we must at least try. And this means that we need to get informed and think - and act.
I am sorry, if you did not like this message. You might complain that I do not offer any solution for problems. You are right. But remember the good doctor. First find the reason, then start to work on the problem. A petition here, a petition there and some information that does not lead to a 'cure' will not make the patient healthy. Maybe in the long run. But there is no time for a long run.
I heard rumors about the internet to get more controlled or even get shut down because it contains too much unwanted information. If this is going to happen we have finally lost.
Think about IT !!!

Learn for yourself ,investigate for yourself, Do not believe the sellers of the lie because You do not think You can understand or You are lazy!Question ,Question. Question!! The info is not hidden,The Truth Shall set You Free!!!
