The Big Blackout: Why I’m Going Low-Tech to Prep for an EMP


 

Guest Post by Daisy Luther



This might be stating the obvious, but in the event of an EMP, things will not be the same, no matter how great your generator is.

Aaron Dykes of Truthstream Media wrote an excellent article about the extreme likelihood of a catastrophic event that could take out our power grid:
Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer is warning investors – and more broadly, lawmakers and leaders – about the potential destructive power of an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, which could be triggered by solar events or artificially, via blasts in the atmosphere.
According to Singer, research shows that no other incident, including a nuclear bomb, has the potential for such wide-scale devastation, coupled with the relative likelihood of occurring. While a nuke would primarily impact on the location of a such (such a city), an EMP could occur globally or across large-scale regions, wreaking havoc on the entire electric grid and devices…
…Government agencies, such as NASA and Homeland Security, have taken some preliminary steps towards preparing for an EMP attack – regardless of the potential for natural of man made causes – but the public at large remains cripplingly unaware of the dangers present to modern life, and its reliance on all things electronic, digital and, thus, transient. (Check out the rest of this MUST-READ article HERE)
We’ve all read many articles about the likelihood of grid failure. We’ve been warned again and again that it isn’t a matter of if, but when, it happens.


Because of this, a lot of people are preparing for a very different future.  Folks are getting ready for the Big Blackout. The thing is, I am not sure everyone is thinking this through. Many people are spending buckets of money on preparations to try to keep their lives as similar as possible to how they are today. They’re investing in diesel generators and Faraday cages to protect their electronics. They are buying propane-fueled appliances.  They’re stashing away fuel to run these gadgets.

Generators are not a practical investment for EMP preparation.


The problem with that method of preparation is, the fuel-generated lifestyle will only last for as long as you have…well…fuel.

Very few of us have enough storage space or the proper facilities to store 5 years worth of fuel.  If the power grid goes down in a catastrophic way, it’s going to take at least 5 years to get things up and running again, and that’s assuming things ever get up and running again in the way they are now.

That means that people are spending thousands of dollars investing in items that will only sustain their lifestyles for a brief period of time.  Generators are not a long term solution unless you have renewable power. (More on that later). While a generator would be a blessing in a short-term emergency (think a week-long power outage due to a storm), for a permanent way of life they are completely impractical.

Furthermore, in the event of an EMP strike, if your generator is not protected, it may not work no matter how much fuel you have stored.

Maybe the fact that I’m not rolling in money is the reason I feel this way. Maybe people with lots of money to spare have ideas about how to keep their generators running forever. But for my personal situation, this is a preparation strategy that is completely impractical.

A low-tech lifestyle is the best way to prep for grid-down survival.


If money is an object in your preparedness endeavors, (and let’s face it, money is an object for most of us these days), then focus your dollars on preps that are sustainable without electrical power.
Instead of trying to live the exact same life you are living right now, only fueled by an individual generator, look for low-tech solutions instead.  This reminds me of people who stop eating gluten but still want to eat exactly like they have been eating their entire lives, only now with expensive gluten-free baked goods that cost 4 times the price of their wheat-filled counterparts. When things change dramatically, accept the change and adapt to it, instead of trying to maintain the illusion that everything is the same.

Whether you can get power from an outlet in the wall or not, the necessities of day-to-day life will remain the same:
  • Water
  • Shelter and Warmth
  • Food
  • Sanitation and Hygiene
  • Light
The ultimate preparedness goal should be to provide those necessities without any help from the power grid, generators, or fossil fuel.

When my youngest daughter and I lived in the North Woods of Canada, we lost power frequently throughout the year. Lots of folks in the area had generators that they would fire up when the power went out, and that was a viable solution, since gas stations were available and fuel was pretty much unlimited as long as you could afford to go get it. We were on a tight budget, however, and we adapted our situation to live without power during those outages. After the first couple of outages, we had worked out most of the bugs and we even began to look forward to our time without power – it was like a little vacation from the regular workday. As plugged in as our society is, power is not actually a necessity – it’s a luxury, and we can live without it as long as we are adaptable, creative, willing, and prepared.

Let’s look at some specific examples of low-tech ways to take care of our necessities. These ideas are just food for thought, based on my own preparedness plan – they may not be the solutions that will work best for you, but the goal here is to brainstorm your own situation and figure out how to live your life low-tech if the need occurs.

Off-grid Water


If you haven’t located water sources near your home,  it’s time to break out the topographical maps of your area and find them!  A low-tech water plan might include some or all of the following:
  • A manual pump for your well
  • Buckets and wheelbarrows for hauling water from a nearby source
  • Rain barrels for water harvesting (THIS is an inexpensive option with mixed reviews)
  • A gravity-fed water filtration system (we have THIS ONE)
  • A water dispenser for convenient access to filtered water (Be sure to get one with the bottle on top so that it can be operated without electricity, and not one that uses an electric pump to pull the water up from the bottom)
  • Storage units for water such as cisterns or tanks
  • Portable water filter bottles for safe water when you are away from home (we have THIS ONE)
Off-grid Shelter and Warmth

Homes these days aren’t built to function without a connection to the power grid.  If you aren’t fortunate enough to live in an older home that was designed for off-grid living, look at some ways to take your home back a century or so. A secondary heating system is vital in most climates.
  • An antique oil heater can use lots of different oils and requires little effort for installation (THIS SITE is loaded with information about Perfection oil heaters)
  • Have a woodstove installed
  • Clean your chimney and get your fireplace working
  • Set up an outdoor fireplace with large rocks to bring inside for radiant heat (this won’t get you super warm but it’s better than nothing)
  • Have a good supply of blankets, warm clothes, and cold-rated sleeping bags
  • Learn techniques to stay warm with less heat
Off-grid Food

Not only do you need access to food, but you also need a way to cook it and a way to keep your refrigerated and frozen items from spoiling.
Off-grid Sanitation and Hygiene

How will you keep clean and deal with human waste in the event of a long-term emergency?
Off-grid Lighting

The world is a scary place when it’s dark, and most of us have forgotten how dark TRUE dark really is, due to light pollution and the proximity of neighbors. Here are some lighting solutions for an off grid world:
  • Solar garden lights – store them outside to be charged during the day and bring them in and put them in vases where they’re needed at night
  • Oil lamps – you can recycle used cooking oil or use rendered fat to power these – they give a brighter light and can be used for reading and close-work (Learn more HERE)
  • Candles – stock them and learn to make them
  • Solar powered flashlights
Renewable power is practical power.

One exception to my no-generators rule is renewable power. If you can afford a solar set up for your home, then very little would change about your day-to-day life, aside from you being one of the few people with power.  You don’t have to go totally solar to have power for a few important items. Assuming you have electronics in working order, they can be powered with solar, wind, or water.

Most of us can’t afford an entire set up but these are some options to consider:
  • Build a DIY portable solar recharging station – learn how to make it HERE
  • Solar-powered systems for specific items – learn more HERE
  • Use wind power – learn more HERE
  • Use water power – learn more HERE
What will you do when the electrical power goes out?

Do you have plans in place for a long-term (or permanent) power outage?  Are you planning to use generators and maintain your current lifestyle, or are you planning to go low-tech? Share your opinions and some of your cost-effective ideas in the comments!

Internationalists Are Pushing The World Towards Globally Engineered Economic Warfare



Guest Post by Brandon Smith


Over a year ago I published an essay entitled 'The Linchpin Lie: How Global Collapse Will Be Sold To The Masses'. This essay addressed efforts by the ever malicious Rand Corporation to create a false narrative surrounding the possibility of global collapse. Linchpin Theory, as it was named by it's originator and Rand Corp. employee, John Casti, is I believe the very future of propaganda.

Every engineered crisis needs a clever cover story, and in Linchpin Theory, we are told that all human catastrophe is a mere natural product of the “overcomplexity” within various systems. Yes, there is no accounting of false flag geopolitics or elitist conspiracy, no acknowledgment of deliberately initiated chaos; such things do not exist in the world of “linchpins”. Rather, the Rand Corporation would have us believe that the world is a massive game of Jenga, and the supporting pieces just remove themselves from the teetering structure by magical and coincidental causality.

Today, the linchpin lie is now being carefully inserted into the mainstream narrative. I can't say I was shocked to hear Alan Greenspan use its basic premise when he recently stated that:

I have come to the conclusion that bubbles…are a function of human nature. We don’t have enough observations, but my tentative hypothesis to what we’re dealing with is that both a necessary and sufficient condition for the emergence of a bubble is a protracted period of stable economic activity at low inflation. So it is a very difficult policy problem. I do believe that central banks that believe they can quell bubbles are living in a state of unrealism.

It is important that we understand what Greenspan is actually doing here. The former Fed chairman is asserting that economic bubbles like the derivatives bubble of 2008 are a “natural function”, like the seasons, and are out of the control of central bankers. The truth is that central bankers have never tried to “quell” economic bubbles, they have been deliberately creating them in order to position the global economy into a crisis which they can then exploit. Greenspan is not only diverting blame for all the past and future economic crashes central banks have engineered, he is also setting the propaganda stage for a great change in the dynamic of the central banking concept - what the IMF's Christine Lagarde calls the “global economic reset”.


The current central banking structure gives the illusion of separation and sovereignty. Most people who have not researched the nature of the international banking cartel believe that the Federal Reserve, for instance, is a separate national entity from the Central Bank of Russia, or the Central Bank of China. They believe that these institutions act of their own accord rather than in concert with each other. The reality is, there is no Federal Reserve. There is no Central Bank of Russia. There are no separate entities. There are no Western banks and there are no BRICS. All of these banking edifices are merely front organizations for global financiers, as Council on Foreign Relations insider (and friend to the Rockefellers) Carroll Quigley made clear in his book, Tragedy And Hope:
It must not be felt that the heads of the world's chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in world finance. They were not. Rather they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up, and who were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks.
A “global economic reset”, I suspect, will consist of a grand shift away from covert cooperation between central banks to an OPENLY centralized one world banking system, predicated on the concepts put forward by the IMF and led by the Bank for International Settlements, which has always been behind the scenes handing down commandments to the seemingly separate central banks of nations.

In order for this “reset” to be achieved, however, the establishment needs a historically monumental distraction. A distraction so confounding and terrifying that by the time the public has a chance to examine the situation rationally, the elites have already tightened the noose.

I have been warning ever since the beginning of the derivatives/debt collapse of 2007/2008 that the international financiers and globalists who created the artificially low interest rates and fiat lending bonanza would one day be required to fashion a considerably dangerous event in order to trigger the final collapse of the dollar based monetary system and replace it with a new currency (or basket of currencies), along with a new centralized financial authority.

This distracting event would have to rely on three very important strategies in order to succeed -

1) The use of what I call the “scattershot effect”; a swarm of smaller crises growing exponentially until it blurs together to create one dynamic calamity.

2) The use of multiple false paradigms in order to confuse the masses and pit them against one another in an absurd fight over fake and meaningless causes.

3) The use of deceptive benevolence on the part of the financial elite as they tap dance in to act as global “mediators”, ready to save the public from itself.

The end result would be a new brand of “world war” rather unique to history.

When most people imagine WWIII, they immediately envision images of nuclear bombs and mushroom clouds; however, I believe that when world war erupts, it may progress far differently from our cinematic assumptions. Regional conflicts are very likely, there is no doubt, but if one places himself in the shoes of the elites, one realizes that all out mechanized nuclear Armageddon is not really necessary to achieve the desired result of global governance.

Economic warfare alone could be extremely effective in initiating full spectrum fiscal implosion as well as mass starvation, mass panic, and mass desperation. All the signs lead me to believe that financial combat and 4th generation warfare will be used in the place of large armies and missiles.

The Scattershot Effect

Consider the sheer scope and number of crisis situations that have reached explosive proportions just in the past six months.

Syria continues to destabilize due to ISIS insurgents supported by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Israel; it is a horrifying storm which is now bleeding into other nations such as Iraq.

Iraq is on the verge of complete disintegration as the same western organized ISIS moves towards the outskirts of Baghdad. 

Libya has imploded, with the American embassy evacuated, as well as the French and British, as various militias battle for supremacy.

The Ukraine crisis is nearing mutation into another beast entirely after the attack on Malaysian flight MH17. In just the past week, the EU has instituted sanctions against Russia, fighting has become even more fierce around Donetsk, Russia has been accused of firing artillery into Ukraine, and the U.S. now claims that Russia has violated the terms of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces treaty.

In the meantime, the Federal Reserve continues to taper QE3 while ignoring the unprecedented equities bubble they have birthed in the stock market, as well as refusing to answer the question as to who will actually buy U.S. Treasury debt if they do not? Our secret friend from Belgium? And what if this secret friend is, as I suspect, actually the IMF/BIS global loan shark duo? What then? Do we become yet another third world African-style debtor owing our very infrastructure to a financial bureaucracy on the other side of the world?

And what about the Baltic Dry Index, one of the few measures of global shipping demand that cannot be manipulated by outside money interests? Well, the BDI is back down to historic lows, falling 65% since January, signaling that the so-called “economic recovery” is not at all what it is cracked up to be.

Add to this the deluge of illegal immigration on the southern border, aided by the Obama Administration, as well as possible presidential impeachment and lawsuit proceedings, and you have a recipe for total chaos of the fiscal variety.

If the first six to seven months of 2014 have been this frenetic, how bad will the next six months be?

False Paradigms

We are all aware of the prevalence of the false Left/Right paradigm in American politics. Hopefully most people in the Liberty Movement understand, for example, that any impeachment or lawsuit proceedings against Barack Obama will be nothing more than a crafted circus designed to accomplish nothing – a con game to placate conservatives with useless top-down solutions while the country burns around their ears.

There are other false paradigms that are not so clear to some, though...

The false Israel/Hamas paradigm has certainly duped a particular subsection of Americans and even a few patriots, even though it is historical fact that the creation of Hamas itself was funded and supported by the Israeli government. Why do Israeli politicians put money and arms at the disposal of Muslim extremist groups like Hamas and ISIS, only to enter into brutal conflict with them later? Could it be that the Israeli government does not have the best interests of the Israeli people at heart? Could it be that Israel is being used by internationalists as a catalyst for chaos? It is vital that we question the intentions behind such contrary actions in the Middle East.

Why has the U.S. government (Democrats and Republicans), Saudi Arabia, and Israel put support behind the ISIS caliphate in Iraq after spending decades of time, billions in resources, and thousands of lives, attempting to overrun and dominate the region? Why are these governments creating enemies that will later try to harm us?

It is all about false paradigms; dividing the masses into numerous conflicting sides and pitting them against each other when they should be fighting against the elites.

The false East/West paradigm is perhaps the most dangerous lie facing free men today. It is a lie that may very well define our generation if not our century. I have outlined in multiple articles the substantial evidence that proves beyond a doubt that Russia and China are members of the globalist agenda, and that the tensions between our two hemispheres are completely fabricated.

The latest announcement of a BRICS bank to rival the IMF is yet another scheme to perpetuate the illusion that the elites of these nations are at odds. In fact, the BRICS conference mission statement makes it clear that developing nations have no intention of breaking from the IMF (and certainly not the BIS). Instead, the BRICS bank is meant to provide “leverage” to “force” the IMF to become more inclusive, and hand over more power and participation. Vladimir Putin had this to say at the latest summit:
In the BRICS case we see a whole set of coinciding strategic interests. First of all, this is the common intention to reform the international monetary and financial system. In the present form it is unjust to the BRICS countries and to new economies in general. We should take a more active part in the IMF and the World Bank's decision-making system. The international monetary system itself depends a lot on the US dollar, or, to be precise, on the monetary and financial policy of the US authorities. The BRICS countries want to change this.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff insisted that the BRICS were not seeking to distance themselves from the Washington-based International Monetary Fund:
On the contrary, we wish to democratize it and make it as representative as possible...
Putin and the BRICS commonly rail against the “unipolar” financial system revolving around the U.S. dollar, but in the end they are only controlled opposition, and their solution is to place even more power into the hands of the IMF (a supposedly U.S. government controlled institution), creating a truly unipolar world order.  If the U.S. loses its IMF veto status this year due to lack of allocated funds, and the BRICS dump the dollar as world reserve, this may very well happen.

As sanctions between Russia and the U.S. snowball, a perfect rationalization for a dollar decoupling will be created that very few people would have believed possible only a few years ago.  It is only a matter of time before fiscal warfare escalates to destructive levels. Russia will inevitably cut off gas exports to the EU, and the BRICS will inevitably drop the U.S. dollar as a world reserve standard.

The U.S. relationship to the EU is also currently being presented as dubious, and this is not by accident. Failing relations between America and Germany are yet more theater for the masses to chew on. Western allies have been spying on each other for decades, but somehow the exposure of CIA activities in Germany is shocking news? The NY Fed suddenly attacks Deutsche Bank, seeking expanded monitoring and regulation? Germany's business interests are highly damaged by U.S. sanctions against Russia? It would seem as though someone is trying to create an artificial divide between elements of the EU and the U.S.

I believe that the narrative is being prepared for a faked financial breakup between the U.S. and many of its former allies, isolating the U.S., and destroying the dollar, but to what end? To answer that question, we must ask WHO ultimately benefits from these actions?

The Rise Of The Hero Bankers

In June of last year, the Bank for International Settlements, the central bank of central banks whose history began with the financial support of the Third Reich, released a statement warning that “easy money” from central banks was creating a dangerous bubble in stock markets around the world.

The IMF, too, has been pushing warnings of stock bubble collapse into the mainstream.

In June of this year, the BIS, a normally obscure and secretive organization, released another statement pronouncing that government had been led into a “false sense of security” by easy monetary policy and low interest rates, making the world economy perpetually unstable.

For an organization so covert and occult, the BIS sure has become rather candid lately. Frankly, I agree with everything they have said. However, I do not agree with the hypocrisy of the BIS, which dominates the decisions of all of its member banks, publicly criticizing policies which it most likely scripted itself. Why would the BIS suddenly denounce fiscal methods it used to promote? Because the BIS is setting itself up as the great prognosticator of a collapse that IT HELPED ENGINEER.

After the great financial war has subsided, and the people are suitably poverty stricken and desperate, it will be institutions like the BIS and IMF that swoop in to “save the day”. Their offer will be to consolidate economic control into the hands of an elite group of bankers “not affiliated” with any particular nation state, thereby insulating them from "political concerns". The argument will be that national sovereignty is a bane on the back of humanity. They will claim that the catastrophe will continue until we “simplify” and streamline our economic and political systems. They will present themselves as the heroes of the age; the ones who predicted the crisis would occur, and the ones who had a solution ready to save the day (after sufficient death and destruction, of course).

As long as people remain obsessed with false paradigms and faux enemies, the establishment's goal of complete centralized dominance will be predictably attainable. If we change our focus to the internationalists as the true danger instead of playing their game by their rules, then things will become far more interesting...

Dept of Defense: Ebola Bio Kits Deployed to National Guard Units In All 50 States



Guest Post by  Mac Slavo

The Department of Defense informed Congress that it has deployed biological diagnostic systems to National Guard support teams in all 50 states, according to a report published by the Committee on Armed Services. The report, published in April amid growing fears that the Ebola hemorrhagic fever virus might spread outside of West Africa, says that the portable systems are designed for “low probability, high consequence” scenarios.

Some 340 Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) units have thus far been given to emergency response personnel. The systems are “rapid, reliable, and [provide] simultaneous identification of specific biological agents and pathogens,” says executive officer for the DOD’s Chemical and Biological Defense group Carmen J. Spencer.
The Chemical and Biological Defense Program has sharpened the DoD diagnostics portfolio by increasing the capability of our fielded system, some 340 of which have been provided to the Military Services.
The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System is a portable system capable of rapid, reliable, and simultaneous identification of specific biological agents and pathogens. By partnering with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and the Food and Drug Administration, we have made accessible additional diagnostic assays for high consequence, low probability biological threat agents for use during declared public health emergencies.
This collaboration has facilitated the availability of viral hemorrhagic fever diagnostic assays for use during a declared emergency and adds previously unavailable preparedness capabilities to this fielded system.

To address the need for a near term capability to combat emerging threat materials, we have already provided Domestic Response Capability kits to the National Guard weapons of mass destruction civil support teams resident in all 50 states.
These kits provide emerging threat mitigation capability that includes detection, personnel protection, and decontamination.
Full Congressional Report via POTR
According to manufacturer BioFire Diagnostics, the JBAID is capable of detecting a variety of infectious disease targets including Anthrax, Plague, Ricin, and various forms of influenza. The detection kits sent to National Guard units also include hemorrhagic fever detection capabilities, giving the military the ability to identify potential infections in as little as thirty minutes:
The ruggedized JBAIDS is an open platform that analyzes 32 samples in 30 minutes and is deployed in field hospitals, mobile analytical labs, shipboard medical labs, food and water safety test centers, research labs, and other mobile scenarios.

 The Ebola threat recently popped up on the global radar when an infected individual traveled via airplane from Liberia to Nigeria’s capital of Lagos, alarming bio-specialists who say it could just be a plane ride away from U.S. shores.
As noted by Steve Quayle, Department of Defense planners had already taken steps to deliver the biodetectors to the National Guard before April of this year, suggesting that, while no infection of Ebola in North America has been confirmed, the military is already taking precautions.
The military has response plans in place for national emergency events that could include anything from a pandemic outbreak to economic collapse, both of which could lead to civil unrest.
Video Update (Provided by POTR)
It is unclear how real or imminent the threat may be, but it is clear that a massive surge of Governmental spending and preparedness has occurred since Hemorrhagic H7N9 Bird Flu came on the scene in 2013 and those preparedness activities are accelerating as EBOLA has started to gain momentum in Africa.

In that regard, spotting the field use of the biomedical equipment shown below is an extremely strong indicator that a Biodefense operation is underway. Pay special attention to the JBAIDS device shown below, its presence at any medical or field facility is prima facie evidence of a high risk medical event of disastrous proportion.

 
 

The New York Times's Dangerous Lies About Ukraine and Russia

 

 Guest Post by Eric Zuesse 

 

(PREFACE: Right before this went to press, Britain's Guardian headlined "Moscow May Walk Out of Nuclear Treaty," and Washingtonsblog bannered "Senior U.S. Intelligence Officers: Obama Should Release Ukraine Evidence." 

The latter newsflash is a memo to the President signed today by 9 senior retired U.S. intelligence professionals who gently lay out the evidence that President Obama has been lying about the evidence regarding the shoot-down of the Malaysian airliner, and telling him that unless his Administration comes clean on that matter very soon, and offers the world solid evidence of Russia’s and/or Ukrainian separatists’ involvement if he has any, he is going to look very bad, and that he therefore needs to act quickly to "curb the risk that relations with Russia might escalate from 'Cold War II' into an armed confrontation." I can only add: It might already be too late for him and the Times and the rest of the U.S. propaganda-establishment to quit deceiving the gullible U.S. public, but the risks from continued lying are even higher, nothing less than a nuclear war. So: they must.)

On July 26th, The New York Times  headlined "Pentagon Plan Would Help Ukraine Target Rebel Missiles," and stenographically reported, as if facts, mere claims by White House propagandists, with no evidence, and despite prior blatant lies from the Obama Administration, lies such as Obama's having expressed certainty that the sarin gas attack in Syria came from Bashar al-Assad's forces and not from Obama, which Obama knew to have been the actual case.

Regarding that infamous earlier incident, the London Review of Books  had headlined on 4 April 2014 (issue of 17 April), “Seymour M. Hersh on Obama, ErdoÄŸan and the Syrian rebels,” and Hersh reported that within little more than a week after Obama had announced that he would bomb Syria over the sarin gas attack, Obama had been informed, from a secret joint British-Russian Porton Down chemical weapons lab report, that it was concluded that fundamentalist Islamic al-Nusra rebels backed by Turkey’s leader Recep Erdogan had actually perpetrated the sarin attack (which was done specifically in order to provide an excuse for the U.S. to join the war against Assad); and, that, “The Porton Down report caused the joint chiefs to go to the president with a more serious worry: that the attack sought by the White House would be an unjustified act of aggression. It was the joint chiefs who led Obama to change course.” As usual, the public were being lied-to about the entire matter: they were spoon-fed by America’s “free press” a fictitious cover story from the White House that was run by the U.S. aristocracy. And, furthermore, the main function of the CIA mission at the Benghazi Libya consulate, the consulate that had been destroyed by Libyan islamic fundamentalists on 11 September 2012, had been to oversee the CIA’s “rat line” that was feeding weapons, from the overthrown leader Gaddafi’s arsenals, to jihadist rebels in Syria. That CIA operation was funded by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, but the U.S. operated it, at its compound, in Benghazi. For the jihadists in Syria, it wasn’t enough just to get weapons from the U.S.; they also wanted the U.S. to bomb Assad, because only the U.S. could do that. The jihadists in Libya didn’t know that they were destroying the headquarters where the U.S. was helping the jihadists in Syria. There was deceit, mixed with blundering, all-around. The sarin gas that was used in Syria came from the Benghazi consulate, serving as the collection-point from General Gaddafi's sarin gas supplies, which were supplied thence to Syria, via a number of countries. "By the terms of the [secret] agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria. A number of front companies were set up in Libya, some under the cover of Australian entities." Unfortunately for Obama, Porton Down discovered the fakery, via the samples taken. Obama wanted to invade without a congressional authorization. But that was not to be: "The former intelligence official [one of Hersh's unnamed sources] said, ‘Congress made it known that, unlike the authorisation for the Iraq war, there would be substantive hearings.’ At this point, there was a sense of desperation in the White House." Senate Democrats refused to allow this “Democratic” President to lie America into such a war, as George W. Bush had done. And that's why we didn't invade Syria. But the family that controls The New York Times  don't mind that they're just as rottenly stenographically spreading the White House's pro-war propaganda now, regarding Ukraine and their portrayed villain Putin, as they had been before, regarding "Saddam's WMD" in 2002 and 2003. However, the major difference, this time, is that there was no possibility back in 2003 that America's lies would lead to a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia. This time, that type of danger does exist, and Obama is preparing for it, hoping to win a nuclear war. So, that’s the broader context for the latest lies from The New York Times.

The Times's  "news report" regarding the present matter concerns basically their passing along without investigation this White House's Russia-baiting propaganda to stir more war-fever for renewal of the Cold War, after communism has already ended everywhere except two small nations, Cuba and North Korea; it’s long-since ended in Russia, but that’s supposed to be the new demon for the princes of America’s Military-Industrial Complex to use as an excuse to conquer, and to build and sell more weapons to do that. Nothing is mentioned in this "news report" regarding Obama's having overthrown in February 2014 the freely and democratically elected President of Ukraine, right next door to Russia, nor about how the regime that Obama then set up to replace him, Obama's Ukrainian stooges, perpetrated on May 2nd a burning-alive of hundreds of that coup's civilian opponents in Odessa's Trade Unions Building, nor about the ethnic-cleansing campaign that's now going on by Obama's Ukrainian regime in order to get rid of the people whose votes had elected the man whom Obama had just overthrown. None of that was mentioned by the NYT, at all. According to the Times's  fantasy story-line from their prior "news reporting" about the new Ukrainian regime (all straight from the White House), the people who were being ethnically cleansed in Ukraine were instead "terrorists" and "Russian soldiers," not the entire residential population of the areas that had elected the previous Ukrainian President. Here are excerpts from the NYT's  fantasy-tale, along with my accompanying commentary upon it:

At the core of the debate, said several officials — who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because the policy deliberations are still in progress — is whether the American goal should be simply to shore up a Ukrainian government reeling from the separatist attacks [and notice here that the attacks by the Ukrainian regime aren't even mentioned], or to send a stern message to Mr. Putin [for what -- they don't say; they merely color their 'news' hostile, and expect their readership to be suckers for that crude demonization] by aggressively helping Ukraine target the missiles Russia has provided [and they ignore here the weapons and mercenaries that are coming into the Ukrainian regime from 'our side'.] Those missiles have taken down at least five aircraft in the past 10 days, including Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 [as if any respectable journalistic organization would be implying, as the Times does here, that solid and not just faked evidence yet has been made public, sufficient to draw a scientific conclusion that the Ukrainian regime itself definitely didn't down that plane, or else didn’t guide it into the conflict-zone in order to bait the rebels into downing it].

Since the downing of Flight 17, a civilian jet, the flow of heavy arms into eastern Ukraine has drastically increased, the Pentagon and the State Department said on Friday, citing American intelligence reports [as if 'our side' had such a stellar record of truth-telling, for it to be trusted without independent investigation to check it out]. ...

... Mr. Obama’s emerging national security doctrine of supporting allied and partner nations in defending their territory without direct American military involvement [as if the United States were threatened by anything that Russia might be doing in Russia's adjoining country of Ukraine, and 'we' were not instead outrageously threatening Russia, by preparing to set up in Ukraine a nuclear missile-base, within a mere ten-minute flight-time to annihilating Moscow] ...

If Mr. Putin does not encounter significant resistance to Russia’s moves in Ukraine, he may be emboldened to go further [as if Obama's overthrow of the Putin-friendly former Ukrainian President and replacement of him by Ukrainian nazi leaders who refer to all ethnic Russians as "subhumans" and who use hateful racist terms such as "kitsaps" in reference to ethnic Russians] ...

The Pentagon said on Friday that it had seen evidence that Russia was planning a major influx of new weaponry across the border [unsupported stenographic 'reporting' here, of what might be just lies], and that it believed multiple-rocket launchers would soon be delivered from Russia [unsupported speculation is here passed along to the gullible readers of a profoundly untrustworthy 'news' medium]. American officials also said they had evidence that Russia was firing artillery from within its borders to attack Ukrainian military positions [yet more stenography passing as 'journalism']. Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, NATO’s top commander, has drawn attention to a video that appears to show the Russian military firing short-range Grad rockets into Ukraine [this allegation being ripped vigorously, by Paul Craig Roberts, as highly dubious and probably fraudulent].

Ukraine is seeking all the Western help it can get as Russia increases aid to the separatists [in response to the U.S.'s having overthrown the prior pro-Russian President and replaced him by racist fascists, nazis, so that 'we’ can place nuclear missiles in Ukraine]. ...

There are bipartisan calls in Congress to supply weapons [but actually, the only significant bill calling for that is S. 2277, which was introduced in the Senate on May 1st, the day before 'our' Ukrainian regime perpetrated its massacre of hundreds of its opponents inside the Odessa Trade Unions Building, and this U.S. Senate bill has 26 co-sponsors, all of whom are Republicans, none of whom are Democrats; so, the NYT lied outrageously here, when using that term 'bipartisan']. ...

The shooting down of the Malaysian Airlines plane, on top of Russia's earlier shipments of heavy weaponry, were a perilous escalation, ... General Dempsey said [though he still had provided to the press no credible evidence that Russia instead of the Ukrainian Government shot it down, nor that Russia had been supplying ‘heavy weaponry’ to the rebels.] "You've got a Russian government that has made a conscious decision to use its military force inside another sovereign nation to achieve its objectives," he said [so that he was alleging that we didn't do the same thing in Cuba, when the Soviet Union tried to place nuclear missiles there? If the U.S. was right then in Cuba, then why isn't Russia right now in Ukraine? The owners of the NYT don’t want you to know, because even merely asking that question here would blow what Obama is doing to Ukraine. The NYT is a propaganda-medium; news-considerations are clearly secondary.]

As for the tragic downing of that Malaysian airliner, which is exploited mercilessly by all U.S. propagandists, it might possibly have resulted directly from firing by the anti-Government rebels, or it might have resulted directly from firing by the Ukrainian Government, or it might have resulted directly from firing by the Russian Government, or it might have resulted directly from baiting by the Ukrainian Government that was bitten-on by either the rebels and/or the Russian Government, but all of that is as yet indeterminate, and it's really far less important anyway than the tragedy’s ultimate cause, the motive-holder who actually produced the existing civil war and the ethnic cleansing campaign, which the rebels are trying to defend their families against; and, on this far more important matter, of the event’s ultimate cause, there can be no reasonable doubt whatsoever: "Obama Definitely Caused the Malaysian Airliner to Be Downed."

Now, why doesn't The New York Times report on such realities as that?
After all, the U.S. media are lying through their teeth about the evidence on the downing of that plane.
And why don't the U.S. "news" media report that throughout the Bush-Obama regime, democracy in the United States has been fictional, not factual?

Welcome to 1984.

After all, war can be very profitable.
Americans are brainwashed to fear Vladimir Putin. But if we had a democracy and a free press, Americans right now would much more fear Barack Obama, and, before him, George W. Bush, and the forces in the darkness, that stand behind them both.

I don’t blame the mere hirees of the aristocrats who control the press; these “reporters” are simply doing the jobs that they’re paid to do. For example, after the NYT’s egregious “reporting” that led this nation into invading Iraq in 2003, the newspaper’s owner was virtually forced into firing his friend and “reporter,” Judith Miller, which was a token apology by the paper, for what was really their systematic deception of the public, which is so routine there. This is why I am not blaming the “reporters” who did this “news” story to “Help Ukraine Target Rebel Missiles.” Both of them had won Pulitzers (as did Judith Miller). One of them graduated from Harvard, the other from Williams. (Miller had graduated from Princeton.) It’s the aristocracy’s reward-system that ‘s behind the rot in American “journalism.” It’s the owners who control it. Though Miller had to be forced out, she’s now at the Council on Foreign Relations, which is where Timothy Geithner, Robert Rubin, and so many others of the aristocracy’s disgraced operatives go as a holding-pen between jobs elsewhere for the aristocracy. (Geithner was quickly picked up to lead a Wall Street firm, where he’ll receive his big payoff.) The entire system is rotten to its core. The U.S. public is suckered by them, into believing that, as Gallup bannered a poll-finding on 21 July 2014, “Americans Say Business Background Is Best for Governing,” or, in other words, that the aristocracy, the people who control large corporations, should reign over the government. 81% of Americans in this poll said that the country would be “governed better” if “people with business or management experience” ran it. In other words: money-making skills are what the leaders of government most need. Or: Greed is good. This belief is tied in with libertarianism: the idea that everything possible should be privatized and that the public should be as weak and subservient and obedient to that aristocracy as possible. (The aristocrats will then control even what was formerly democratically controlled: public.) Americans have been profoundly brainwashed by our aristocracy -- brainwashed to accept the existing socio-political hierarchy: aristocrats rule over the public; the public do not rule over aristocrats. Democracy in America is thus dead: dollars rule now, people don’t.

It's government of the public by the aristocracy, with the revolving door for their servants, between their boardrooms and their "government service." We're not supposed to know about it, and certainly not supposed to understand it; so, the glints that are seen of it in "our free press" are only what they'll publish about it: "All The News That's Fit to Print." Too bad that it’s propaganda instead of news, but that’s the way things have become. That’s today’s American reality. Our Founders would puke at it. They’ve been defeated, at last.

This news report and analysis has been submitted, free of charge or copyright, to all U.S. news-media that accept outside submissions. (Media that don’t are basically closed-to-the-public; they’re tightly controlled.) You’ll find out which the honest ones are just by googling this article’s title, and/or the article’s opening few words (surrounded, of course, by quotation-marks, so as to search the entire phrase, not its words). Obviously, dishonest media are not favorable to exposing the basic rot; to them, it’s not “News That’s Fit To Print.”

Americans And The World Are Sick and Tired of War




Guest Post By  WashingtonsBlog

A new poll from Politico shows that Americans want the U.S. to stay the heck out of Ukraine militarily:
Americans are recoiling from direct engagement overseas and oppose U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine by large margins, according to a POLITICO poll of 2014 battleground voters.
***
Asked whether the U.S should do more to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, just 17 percent answered in the affirmative. Thirty-one percent said the current policy is correct and 34 percent said the U.S. should be less involved.
***
Americans are profoundly wary of getting entangled overseas and seem to be skeptical of the value of projecting U.S. power on foreign conflicts. Republicans are modestly more hawkish than Democratic and independent voters, but a majority of self-identified GOP voters support pulling out of Afghanistan and maintaining or reducing involvement in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.
***
In the big picture, two-thirds of respondents agreed with the statement that U.S. military actions should be “limited to direct threats to our national security.” Only 22 percent agreed with the statement that as a “moral leader,” the United States “has a responsibility to use its military to protect democracy around the globe.”
Numerous other polls show the same thing:

But U.S. Already IS Involved Militarily

Despite the wishes of the American people, the U.S. already is involved militarily in Ukraine.
The Pentagon has already sent military advisers and gear to Ukraine. USA Today reported on June 5th:
A small team of American military advisers will soon head to Ukraine to assess that embattled nation’s “mid- and long-term needs for defense reform,” a Pentagon official said Thursday.
Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said senior U.S. defense officials met with senior Ukrainian officials earlier this week to discuss “ways our countries could strengthen our long-term defense cooperation to help Ukraine build highly effective armed forces and defense institutions.”
***
Earlier this week, Obama announced he had approved $5 million in body armor, night vision goggles and additional communications equipment for the Ukrainian military.
That is just the latest wave of support; in March, the White House put in motion the delivery of about 300,000 Meals Ready to Eat, and work continues on various other procurement efforts on items ranging from medical supplies to personal troop gear such as helmets, sleeping mats and water purification units, as well as explosive ordnance disposal equipment and handheld radios.
“We are committed fully to getting the assistance to Ukraine as quickly as possible,” Lainez said.
The U.S. aid is not flowing only to Ukraine’s military; American funds also are supporting the purchase of supplies for that nation’s State Border Guard Service.
(Military advisers is always the first step to military involvement. And as shown by the Vietnam war, whenever the government says it’s sending in a “small team of military advisers”, it really means a large contingent of special forces and other military operatives.)
The New York Times reported Saturday:
The Pentagon and American intelligence agencies are developing plans that would enable the Obama administration to provide specific locations of surface-to-air missiles controlled by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine so the Ukrainian government could target them for destruction, American officials said.
But the proposal has not yet been debated in the White House, a senior administration official said. It is unclear whether President Obama, who has already approved limited intelligence sharing with Ukraine, will agree to give more precise information about potential military targets, a step that would involve the United States more deeply in the conflict.
***
The official added that the decision on whether to provide targeting information would soon become “part of the intel mix.”
Of course, the U.S. State Department spent more than $5 billion dollars in pushing Ukraine towards the West.  The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine (Geoffrey Pyatt) and assistant Secretary of State, (Victoria Nuland) were also recorded as plotting the downfall of the former Ukraine government in a leaked recorder conversationTop-level U.S. officials literally handed out cookies to the protesters who overthrew the Ukrainian government.
And the U.S. has been doing everything it can to trumpet pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian propaganda. So – without doubt – the U.S. government is heavily involved with fighting a propaganda war regarding Ukraine.
Postscript:  Just like in Iraq and Syria, the “facts are being fixed around the policy“.  The powers-that-be want war, and so the whirlwind of propaganda is being deployed to justify the decisions … regardless of what the American people want.
Indeed, wave after wave of false propaganda is being deployed against the American people in an attempt to rally support for war.




Running out of time: Will the US attack the US again?


Running out of time Will the US attack the US again

Guest Post By Dennis Cimino


 As the United States collapses financially, and the dollar declines, is another massive FALSE FLAG self-inflicted wound imminent?

It is painfully clear that the United States Government is rapidly running out of time with regard to the rapid implosion of the U.S. economy, where the ineffectual attempts to start an obfuscating war with Russia in the staged shoot down of an airliner over the Ukraine. The plane has proven to have been full of ‘over ripe’ cadavers, which may have been killed during the takeover of MH-370 in March.
Much propaganda has been spouted about an economic turnaround with such obtuse and obviously ‘out of touch’ declarations that ‘fewer layoffs are occurring’ in the U.S. jobs market, all at a time when ‘tent cities’ are rapidly proliferating and expanding around the nation. By some expert’s astute estimate, one in ‘3’ American’s is not only not working when they probably would be in the labor force, but they are no longer looking for work.
We have a record estimate of upwards of nearly 65 million American’s on SNAP food assistance right now, with that number growing each week. Manufacturing in this nation has all but ground to a halt at this point with much more evidence showing more people are forced to work in unskilled and temporary jobs than ever before, due to the manufacturing downturn in this country.
Add to this the fact that at this same time, the government has been laying away–in vast tunnel cities and bunker structures–huge amounts of food and provisions, all being trucked into them by the nation’s major trucking firms at a frenetic pace over the past several years. Military vehicles, predominantly NEW and fresh MRAPs, have been shipped nationwide, many of them in United Nations white trucks with U.N. markings on them. Were these all a false flag? Were the truckloads of ammunition being carried under hazmat placards also an illusion? Were the massive numbers of military command and control trailers and mobile command centers also not reality?
It would appear that the rapid disconnect from the U.S. dollar, specifically the most recent meeting in Brazil by Russia and China to form their own bank–independent of the FED and WORLD BANK who are Rothschilds creations–seems to indicate that the stage is being set for a very, very, less than soft landing for the U.S. economy in the near term. Many have stated that the death of the dollar won’t happen overnight. As obviously truthful as this is, it is nonetheless very disingenuous to state that, as the world strides ardently away from reliance upon the petrodollar, nothing will happen here in the U.S. How naïve are we supposed to be to ‘ignore’ the astronomical increases in costs of food in the stores as of late? How stupid are we supposed to be to presume that as the dollar ‘tanks’ globally that all will be fine here at home?

UKRAINIAN TRIGGER FOR WAR

The United States, via Victoria Nuland, installed a puppet regime in the Ukraine, with the intent to provoke a hot war with the Russians over this transgression committed by the West under U.S. hegemony. So far, all indications are–with the recent dissolution of the Ukraine government–that the ‘collapse’ there has actually begun and, by winter, it’ll be all but a ‘fait accompli’ that the Ukraine will be freezing to death, because there is no plan in place for Russia to restore the natural gas they need this winter to heat their homes and survive. While the shoot-down of a cadaver-filled airliner over the Ukraine may have failed to provoke a war, it surely has hastened global awareness of how intrinsically linked and timed the Gaza offensive by Israel was to this grotesque event. Coincidence?
ZIO-NATO has made assertions that U.S. military advisers will be used on the ground in Ukraine under Kiev control, to fend off a burgeoning Pro Russian resistance that seems to be taking control of more of the Ukraine by the day, in spite of their military lack of air assets and armor which has not been provided by Putin thus far.
Is it unfair or insane to assume that, once U.S. military boots arrive on the ground in Ukraine as ‘advisors’, Putin will have no choice but to overtly start to provide the Russian loyalists with aircraft and armor support? It is becoming very clear that as the entire globe plunges further into economic duress, that the ZIO-NATO alliance is hell-bent-for-leather to provoke Russia into a war that could effortlessly escalate into a thermonuclear exchange, once it has become clear that the scope of containing it strictly to conventional weapons has been abrogated.
In light of all of these developments, coupled with the rising global unrest in country after country, it is becoming clear that a ‘perfect storm’ is about to become painfully clear as the oligarchy runs out of wiggle room with the unfettered printing of more fiat currency which seems to only benefit the very wealthiest amongst us and does nothing for the impoverished who are barely surviving the economic collapse of the ponzi-schemes ‘tent’ ongoing.

FALSE FLAG THEORIES ABOUND

Today I came upon an article on a website that seemed to at first glance seem to be more ‘fear porn’ than substantiable fact of life, but in it’s own right seemed also to be all too very plausible. This particular scenario shows the regions of the U.S. covered in an apparently ‘vast’ exercise called GRID EX. Grid Ex is supposed to involve such a large amount of the alphabet soup agencies in place to protect the HOMELAND that by any estimation if it actually begins to be put into play, leaves one asking what the real purpose is in staging this type of exercise. This is the apparent exercise map:


Ironically many of these MOA’s (military operations areas) are not depicted as such on existing F.A.A. charts. Here depicted above are the coastal ADIZ (air defense identification zones) with RESTRICTED AIRSPACE in the ORANGE BOXES. Pink circles are airport control zones. Green are the Enroute Center Boundaries:


Now, given the fact that in the top most map, much of these war game locations are actually taking place offshore of the continental U.S., inferring either NAVAL activity or possibly a composite of airborne and shipborne participants. Only a few of these locations are land-locked, meaning the brunt of this is to not happen over much of the continental U.S., but off shore. As this is allegedly a GRID exercise, how much of the nation’s power grid is offshore? Any guesses?

WHY NOW?

Needless to say, with the execution of such a large scale GRID exercise, the significant question that should be asked is, “Why now?” Why conduct any exercise with the nation’s decrepit and falling apart ‘power grid’ when it is so prone to cascade effect failures of entire areas not localized contained ones, the actual act of ‘tripping offline’ any of the grid given this glaring fact means that someone is playing with ‘fire’ here.
Example given: Say, during the exercise, someone trips regional power offline in an area served by not one but a handful of nuclear power stations. Inadvertently the Laws of Murphy kick in and ‘voila’ a whole area goes dark, and emergency diesel generators at any number if not all of the plants is unable to sustain the cooling pumps required to safely cool the ‘scrammed’ reactor plants.
In hours, massive radiation filled steam releases to prevent the containment blow outs would then ensue, and the very tempermental MOX FUELED plants in some of these locations which do not readily cool down too very evenly, begin to melt down in the reactor cores. In a day we have FUKUSHIMA times ‘X’ number of plants so tripped offline without cooling to prevent the overheating. Then what? Call FEMA?
This is merely one scenario that ends very very badly. It’s a given that so much of the infrastructure of the nation’s power grid is not only limping along on borrowed time, but is perhaps the most intolerant of Chernobyl style monkeying around with the controls by virtue of shutting off parts of the grid in any GRID EX they may kick off. Let’s say that the scenario above has less than a one-in-a-million chance of happening to the degree I pointed out. Given that, would it make sense to taunt the genie in those bottles in so many locations which are surrounded by millions of unsuspecting and undeserving to be killed by radiation, people? I don’t think so.

GRID EX OR EMP EX?

It has been surmised that as the U.S. military has now pretty much pre-positioned the MRAPS and the food provisions into the tunnels and complexes underground, that they are more or less ready for ‘show time’ now. Any number of politco’s on the Hill have expressed concern over vulnerability to EMP attack, when translated, means that in the aggregate, someone is looking for a way to turn a disaster into a money maker. No politician ever acts in the public interest–ever!
Given this–together with the failed attempts to trigger both social unrest in the U.S. via FALSE FLAGS and the irresponsible fomenting of police brutality incidents nationwide, which serve only to enrage and frighten and even disenfranchise the average citizen, making them leery of authority, particularly police authority–we now have a very bad situation where public trust of all politicians and police is at an all time low, and hence it is the same for any government agency as well.
As the economy is now in unchecked full-blown collapse mode, with the potential for at least some cities to erupt into some form of violent outbursts due to the hardships, one has to wonder just how much time the power’s that be have left before they MUST take the initiative and stage another 911 style event to control the agenda and force MARTIAL LAW full implementing across the nation and maybe across the earth.

IS TIME RUNNING OUT?

The age old question is this: “Is it better to react to a set of circumstances you have very little control of, or is it better to frame or STAGE the fomenting situation in a way where you assume control from the onset and never relinquish it?” It’s clear that as the government has prepared, and stocked up, and ammo’d up, and split the nation into ‘10’ FEMA regions of governance by people not elected by anyone, that perhaps these same monsters who have bankrupted the nation and destroyed it economically, are now truly so pressed for time that the only real choice is a massive FALSE FLAG event to catalyze their response and provide a military solution to their slipping away by the minute, prospects of containing the blowback once the nation fully collapses economically.
The BRICS are stacked. The dollar is rapidly being unplugged globally. As this ensues at breakneck speed, primarly due to the world’s seeing the enemy–and he is ‘us’ as in ‘U.S.’ (and Britain and Canada and Australia)– it is becoming apparent that the unipolar world we lived in has now morphed into one that is less threatened by the dying legions of the collapsing empire that is the U.S.
Given this, it is painfully clear to me the U.S. must start another GLOBAL WAR to save the dollar, or face isolation and growing boycotting economically in a world that has so quickly learned that it is not necessary to kowtow to the beast that is U.S. zionist hegemony, any longer. Few nations are doing this out of sport, they are doing this out of not having a desire to go down with us. Will the U.S. in it’s death throes toss the one hail mary pass it has left in the playbook of FALSE FLAGS and self-inflict another massive wound in another 9/11 attack on itself?
Let’s put it this way. Time is running out. Desperate men take desperate measures. It’s painfully clear that as that clock nears ‘zero hour’ with regard to a global financial implosion, the zionists who rule us have few cards left to deal now. As Gaza is plundered and destroyed and the U.S. implodes, one can only wonder how much time we have before the next 9/11 happens on a much grander and more deadly scale, given the fact that nobody is buying the war that Rothschilds/Goldman Sachs is selling them. It is apparent something will snap soon. This is not fear mongering. It is, unfortunately, the sad reality we face.

Individualism - They Cannot Predict or Control YOU



Guest Post by Erik Garcés

What protesting is, or any other collective action, is ultimately an act of insanity. Because as Einstein described it, repeating a task and expecting a different result each time is an act of insanity.

History has proven conclusively that each and every method which has been tried against the State, and by extension the money power elite who own the world, has FAILED. What should be evident is as the awakening masses come to realize this, it takes more and more state violence under the cover of sumptuary law for the power structure to maintain control.




WAKE UP!!!

[] Elections have not worked. The ballots are rigged. The candidates preselected, so your choice is irrelevant anyway.

[] Law suits have not worked. The judges are owned, the laws skewed to favor the system above all else.

[] Protests have not worked. Brutality or indifference renders them moot. Many of which are controlled arguments and thus irrelevant.

[] Petitions are ignored. Ballot initiatives are thwarted by the courts. See above.[] Strikes never get enough participants. And in this country at least, are widely viewed as collectivist and derided.

[] Opposition movements are quickly co-opted or counter movements raised as a dialectic is built. To wit: the Tea Party vs. Occupy.

[] Violence is counter productive and is actually what the state is best prepared for.

All of these methodologies are used to waste the activist's energies into frustration. To divert your resources into avenues which the system tolerates as legally acceptable and ultimately non threatening to the system itself. Wake up and realize we are repeating the insanity by continuing to choose the methods which have repeatedly failed. We must use the opposite consciousness to solve this problem, we must see the world anew. Just walk away. Withdraw your consent. If the problem is collectivism then the answer is individual action. The elite fear this most, because they cannot predict or control YOU. They can only influence group dynamics... The TEA Party, Occupy Wall St., mass media and society at large.

Like quicksand, the more you struggle, the more you will be ensnared. The more you ignore them, the less powerful they become. The more of us ignore them, eventually they will become irrelevant. This is how Obama has defeated the opposition Congress. For those who recognize just how truly unique and precious individual liberty really is, we stand in awe of the founding fathers and I have met many well meaning people who differ not in goals but applications of solutions. However, we need to stop worshiping the Constitution. As any of the founders would have told you, its just a piece of paper. A meaningless document unless WE are educated, informed and engaged ourselves, because government is not a separate entity. It is us - if we mean to self govern. Of course this is not the case today where we have a national state, which was never supposed to exist. We recoil in disgust as it places itself above not only the once sovereign several states which created it, but above the individual as well.

Why, how and when could take volumes to fill and that is MORE than adequately covered ad-nauseam in countless places.

What I insist upon is that we stop banging our heads against a wall. We have to get off the hamster wheel which society approves for effecting "change". All are colossal wastes of time because not one of them has ever given us a meaningful and lasting difference against the march of statism. Elections, courts, protests... and yes violent revolution are worse than ineffective, they actually help the system. Its called a revolution for a reason. Because its a circle: you wind up where you started from.

If at once it is understood precisely, exactly how the control grid is constructed and maintained, then it becomes quickly evident how to destroy it. As Stephen Biko said, "The mind of the oppressed is the most potent weapon of the oppressor." The answers may sound simple, but they are far from easy. If we truly mean to change the world, then the answer lies not in collective action to correct problems born of collectivism! NO. The opposite consciousness solution lies within the individual. YOU yourself must be the change you seek.

This process begins within.

1. STOP BANKING. Owe no debt. Avoid at all costs borrowing and the use of credit/debit cards. Use gold and silver whenever possible and accumulate as much as you can. Storing your wealth in a bank is not just dumb, it helps the system. Cut off the lifeblood of their debt and death based empire.

2. BE SELF SUFFICIENT. Get off the power grid and use solar or hydro power. Grow your own food and keep livestock. If this is not possible, eat locally grown, small independent business farmer's foods. Own tools, learn to service your assets. Stop relying on others to repair or operate what you should be doing.

3. Avoid using modern health care systems. Learn to be your own first responder, choose alternative practitioners and study how the body uses foods so you can understand how so many so called diseases are really the body's reaction to poor nutritional choices. Study how many poisons are legally in supermarket foods. See how the best foods never come in a box. The latest in emergency medicine is the best the world's ever seen. If you need that, use it. Then pay cash - insurance is a trap. Find out about the rarely advertised cash paid discounts.

4. Never call the police. These costumed enforcers for the state are not your friends, and the law's involvement in your life almost never benefits you. At best, they show up afterwards and take a report. At worst? The horror stories are too numerous and easily found to argue against and remain honest. Again, self sufficient - if you cannot defend it, you don't really own it. Firearms are tools no different than a wrench or screwdriver, and owning the right tools for the job is common sense.

5. Unplug from the programming of the corporate monopoly media system. Everything produced there is for your consumption, whether to generate the public's consent or distract you from news they really don't want you discussing with your neighbors. More importantly, much of the so called alternative media is fed disinformation, so learn to be an informed consumer of news. Is it news you can use, or does this news use you?

6. ALL governance is by consent of the governed therefore the schools and media are designed to keep you emotionally invested. Forever arguing about process, and personality but never fully recognizing that the real problem is the very system itself. As Noam Chomsky explains, “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”

Therefore the most misunderstood and vehemently resisted tactic is to stop voting in federal elections. When you vote in a federal election you legitimatize the system because the ballot is emphatically NOT about choosing government. Its about giving credibility to the puppet of the moment. The record of the last century is stark proof that elections change nothing. If you'll note, each of these means withdrawing your consent, your participation in their control system. It must have you within it to function. Christians among us will recognize that evil has no power other than that we lend it. All evil has is illusion, and deception. By deceiving the masses into believing that the people actually control the plantation, the slaves have no idea that they're really livestock.

Local elections on the other hand are vital and relatively ignored - always be well informed and vote in these. Then be prepared to hold their feet to the fire, know who these people are and make sure they know YOU. This is different from organizing, this is community building. There's a reason the corporate monopoly media only focuses on the national level games. Low voter education and participation at the local level allows them to sneak in the most horrendous of acts.

Its one of the definitions of insanity to repeat a task and expect a different result each time. Since no election, protest, petition or lawsuit has made any meaningful or lasting changes to the criminality of this illegitimate government, why would a rational and thinking person believe otherwise? As long as the majority of Americans still believe there actually are differences between parties, or think that their votes make a difference - as long as close to half of Americans are dependent upon government, absolutely nothing will change. Switching from Democrat to Republican only changes one thing: the visible means of advance towards statism, nothing more. Recall the contrasts between Bush and Obama as touted by the presstitutes, only to see this current puppet essentially continue so many of his predecessor's policies unchanged?

I say this with humble sincerity, and not to offend: if you don't yet understand this then you are insufficiently informed. Persisting in the belief that there really can be 'change' is delusional. The false dilemma choices between Democrat or Republican candidates or, getting caught up in pointless debates between "tea baggers" and progressives" is really about keeping you emotionally invested in the process and distracted with arguments that ultimately mean little of consequence to the system itself.

Ask yourself: how is it that after decades of back and forth electoral changes in party, the march of ever expanding government and contracting liberty hasn't changed? We've been programmed for irrelevancies instead of discussing important issues like:

- A privately (and substantially foreign) owned banking cartel, misleadingly known as a government agency, issues the public's currency as debt serviced by income taxation. The cartel's legally tax exempt profits derived from the 6% interest on every dollar in circulation realized an $89.1 billion return for the 'Federal' Reserve during 2010. Its the reason why its mathematically impossible to retire the national debt. Its the reason your dollar always buys less and less. It's theft of your savings, your purchasing power, your hard earned cash.

- Communist China has five times the population but HALF the amount of people in prison. Yes, America the land of the 'free' has the world's largest percentage, and in raw numbers, of its population incarcerated. Twenty five percent of the entire global populace of prisoners are HERE in the supposed bastion of liberty. At the height of Stalin's terror, there were less incarcerated people per 100,000 than there are in America today. This is shameful and if we were talking about another nation we'd be describing them as barbaric or 'Third World'.

The third way, or an opposite consciousness mindset means using ideas that which have not been used widely. Ideas which have been proven before and thus the system actively discourages even their discussion. The withdrawal of your consent; remove yourself from the system's games and refuse to participate. Live as independently of the system as is possible. This is what the system fears most and cannot do much to stop. This way of life addresses root causes and ignores futile 'band aid' symptom solutions. Which is what ideas on trying to effect changes from within the system actually are.

Think for yourself, listen to more than just the corporate monopoly media.

Just as a rancher allows his herd to free range the prairie because it makes them more productive, the system allows you to vote. It perpetuates the myth of self determination for the human chattel. This is the reality of America today. If you refuse to understand this and insist we need to work within the system to change it, then you're delusional. Psychologically this is called cognitive dissonance.

The masters of the system have legions of researchers funded via their control of central banking's money from nothing and they've studied human psychology and use the science as a tool to keep us under their control. But that system remains viable only for as long as they maintain a monopoly on information via state controlled schools and corporate media. The internet has made possible for the first time in human history, for the average person to know and really understand they way the world works. As we see that breaking down, we've seen more and more chaos, state violence and legal mechanisms to keep the human cattle on the tax farm. Escaping the plantation cannot happen collectively, as it requires the individual to act. That is what they fear most, because their systems are designed to detect mass movements. To predict and influence group activities. To control the herd. This is why the TEA party and Occupy Wall Street fail.

All it needs to collapse, is for you to simply walk away.
