Our world is changing quickly...

What matters to me is that everyone in the world live to their highest potential and live their lives with peace, contentment and meaning.



POSTSCRIPT...

The protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
Currently in the Unitied states, under the guise of safety, president Obama has rewritten the Constitution.[15][16] [17][18][19][20] The first amendment, "freedom of speech" is no longer a protection. It applies ONLY if you are a government liscensed journalist. "Freedom of religion" only applies if you are a member of an "approved" religion. You can only protest in designated "free speech" zones.

In fact, the precious 'Bill of Rights' has been modified and adjusted into a meaningless piece of paper. It no longer has any value. It is ignored by the government. It is a joke... A decent write up on this loss can be found HERE. Though, it is a little out of date, and completely misses some recient major hits on the constitution.



The 2nd amendment has been under attack on all fronts.[21] The government is constantly promoting the idea that it is for hunting, and not for it's truer purpose.[22][23][24][25]

No 4th Amendment.
The fourth amendment is absolutely crushed. It is more than ignored. The USA is awash in wholesale spying on it's citizenry. No one is safe. The government knows who you are, where you are going, what you are doing, what you are saying, They know everything. [26][27][28]A citizenry that’s constantly on guard for secret, unaccountable surveillance is one that’s constantly being remade along the lines the state would prefer. Foucault illustrated this point by reference to a hypothetical prison called the Panopticon.

The panopticon was designed by utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, the Panopticon is a prison where all cells can be seen from a central tower shielded such that the guards can see out but the prisoners can’t see in. The prisoners in the Panopticon could thus never know whether they were being surveilled, meaning that they have to, if they want to avoid running the risk of severe punishment, assume that they were being watched at all times. Thus, the Panopticon functioned as an effective tool of social control even when it wasn’t being staffed by a single guard.

In his famous Discipline and Punish, Foucault argues that we live in a world where the state exercises power in the same fashion as the Panopticon’s guards.

Foucault called it “disciplinary power;” the basic idea is that the omnipresent fear of being watched by the state or judged according to prevailing social norms caused people to adjust the way they acted and even thought without ever actually punished. People had become “self-regulating” agents, people who “voluntarily” changed who they were to fit social and political expectations without any need for actual coercion.[29]

In the United States, the Tax Revenue branch controls the health care of Americans[30]. How messed up is that? Especially since President Obama has been discovered to use this agency to harm and cause trouble for his political opponents.

Forgotten History
Americans have simply forgotten their history. Part of the reson for this is deliberate. During the presidency of Mr. Roosevelt, there was a very agressive campaign to reeducate Americans. All the textbooks used by the American educational system were rewritten. THis is obvious when you look at any old school text book written prior to 1940.

I will refrain from discussing why he did this thing, it is worthless to speculate on the intentions and motivations of people long dead. However, what is plain and clear is what changes were written in and out of the textbooks. The most obvious is the omission of The Preamble to the Bill of Rights.[11] This preamble simply said that the USA govenment, if left unchecked, will gobble up all the rights of Americans. And thus, to guarantee that the USA government does not get too big or powerful, certain RIGHTS and things were untouchable by the goverment. The goverment was not permitted to regulate, modify, or limit in any way these RIGHTS.

Prior to 1913, school textbooks often reiterated that the individual was free from individual taxiation, and that freedom was critical to the fabric of what the USA represents. But in 1913, the 16th amendment[12] was snuck in and amended (under questionable circumstances)[13]. This amendment established an income tax that was promised to be limited to a mere 3% of the income of the richest 1% of the population. With it, was established the Federal reserve. Both of these huge changes occurred with the repeal of "Prohibition" and while the entire country was celebrating in a drunken binge[14], the government passed the tax law.



The first time shock...
When an American leaves the USA for the first time, their first reaction is shock. I am not referring to military on deployments, because they are isolated from the culture they coexist with. No, instead, I refer to an American trying to live in a different country. Americans have to be the most isolated group of people on the planet.

There is a very common joke that is told in the rest of the world. It goes something like this;

"What do you call a person who speaks three languages? ... Trilingual. What do you call a person who speaks two languages? ...Bilingual. What do you call a person who speaks one language? ...American!"

This is very funny because it is spot on target. Americans seem to think that they are the lords of the world. The keepers of the knowledge, and the believers in the righeous. But nothing is further from the truth...

The shock is severe because many things that American take for granted are simply not present in other nations. This is for both the "good things" and the "bad things". Americans think that only Americans have toll roads, ATM machines, and iPhones. They forget that these items are commonplace globally, and that, in fact, many things that other nations have, that are not available to Americans at all.

"Americans are wonderfully courteous to strangers, yet indiscriminately shoot kids in schools. They believe they are masters of the world, yet know nothing about what goes on outside their shores. They are people who believe the world stretches from California to Boston and everything outside is the bit they have to bomb to keep the price of oil down. Only one in five Americans hold a passport and the only foreign stories that make their news are floods, famine, and wars, because it makes them feel good to be an American. Feeling good to be American is what they live for. "
- Brian Reade, London columnist

You do not have money with held from your paycheck when you get paid[7]. You do not have to report your earnings to the IRS every year[8]. You can deposit as much money as you want into a bank without anyone asking why, and you can take out huge amounts of money without being flagged by the govenment[9]. You can drive without wearing a setbelt, you can take your child with you to the local pub or bar. You can sleep on a park bench without ever being questioned by police. You can live your life freely. Remember that LIBERTY is the freedom to be left alone[10]. Americans simply do not have that any longer.



Americans can't order chemicals from a factory unless thy have a permit to do so. They cannot make home made wine, or whiskey. They cannot buy cetain products from China, such as specific electronics, tools and technologies. They certainly cannot buy any drugs from a source outside of the USA without getting into trouble. YES, the DHS, and their ICE enforcement arm has put a stop to all of this.

Thanks to the policies of the last 50 years, and most especially the last 4, many nations are becoming worried with working with Americans. Due to the nature of the USA Banking regulations and reporting requirements, many banks no longer serve Americans. Due to USA trade agreements, many countries no longer sell their products to Americans[6]. Due to the NSA spying, many countries refuse to deal with Americans. This has created a world of trouble for expat Americans globally.



Empires come and go. The United States is an Empire. How else can you explain over 1000 military bases in other countries around the globe[1], and a military budget that is over 4.5% of the countries GDP[2]? And, the USA is not even at war? In fact, the USA has been engaged in a near constant state of war for most of it's existance[3][4]. But large empires always crumble from within. The promise of weath and indulgences is too great a lure for those who aspire for power. They become corrupt, and enact self-serving policies, that in turn reduce the structural fiber of the nation. And thus, slowly the empire crumbles.



When neo-cons talk about American exceptionalism to the world, they get amused stares. The USA is now the laughing stock of the world. The only reason Americans don't see this is because the American media is controlled by only 6 people, and 5 of them have direct personal relationships with the DNC party[5]. (Brother, parents, spouse)



Incredulity
Everyone has things that irritate them. I am no exception. Some things are irritating to me. To this end, when ever I encounter them, I isolate myself from the person or situation. Life is too short to deal and suffer fools and the ignorant.

One very common irritant, is incredulity. The person says "since I never experienced that thing that you say you experienced, that it must not of ever happened." This kind of thing is common in rape trials, and when you do extraordinary things. My life is colorful, and I haven't even touched upon the greatest of my experiences, because (frankly) no one would believe me. But that does not mean that they never happened.

Never doubt another person. If you think that they are lying, or are trying to compensate for low self esteem... then politely nod, and then divorce yourself from them. There is no need to hurt their feelings based on your own limited range of life experiences.



There are those of us who choose the traditional life. There are those of us that choose the adventuresome life. There are those whom choose the life of wealth and power, and others whom choose an interspective life. We all make life choices. They vary from person to person. They vary from place to place. That is what makes life so colorful.

As you get older, you will experience many things. Not all of them will be exciting, or pleasurable. For me, my most peaceful and meaningful time was in a Catholic monistary[look]. And the most invasive time was being part of a USN cyborg program. [Best], and also [here][here] are some related information on this. Both amazing, but both experiences shared with only a limited number of people in the world.



Incredulity with the ELF program
The ELF program is one of many fifth-column inter-departmental programs run by the US Military. This program utilizes Extra-Low Frequency wavelengths to communicate with implanted computers inside of agents skulls. [1] [2] [3] The US Navy has been involved in this program since the early 1980's.

I was a member of this program for over 35 years from May 1981 until May of 2006.

People in the ELF program operate under great independence and autonomy. The military records of their participation are often discarded or replaced with other things. No one know how many people were participants in the various levels of the ELF program, but please understand that all of us were volunteers. We all left our trained positions to enter this program, and the consequences associated with it. Which included the erasure of military history, obscured background, fake and false identities and documents...



Some of us took a more active role in the program, while others were put on the shelf for the one day when they would be needed. All of us, have unique skills and training associated with this. We all do. Also, all of us, including myself, have had our memories wiped. So that it is very difficult to remember our true training and purposes.

(BTW. One's memory is never truly erased. That would require extensive cranial surgery. Instead, the way our brain searches for the memory is altered. We still remember the training, and the missions, but they lose their signifigance. The events become 'commonplace' such as like the last time when you opened the bathroom door in your granmothers house. Remembered, but considered to be unimplortant.)



Probe Implantation.
Core to the program was the implantation of special devices inside our skulls. Depending on the individual and the mission, different devices were used. For me, I had 5 devices implanted inside my sensormotor area, and the parietal lobe. [5] [6] [7] [8] This was done by medical specialists at the ELF labs inside the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI) located at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. That was in May of 1981.

Training on utilization of the devices, and interface, as well as the various techniques and abilities it gave us occurred at The China Lakes Naval Weapons Center in Ridgecrest, California. For me, calibration, and training of cores I through V, occurred up through 1985. After that was the manditory suppression of memory (you never forget, just access it differently), and release as a civilian to the world.

It might seem odd that after 4 years of training that I would be released as a civilian without deployment. And it is, except that our activities were always independent. In fact, once implanted, you are always potentially active. Even if 'retired', you can still be reactivated. We can never remove the probes in our skulls. They will be there until we die.



My role as a undercover cyborg.
For my role, it was primairly as an operational potentional, with more direction and communication roles after about ten years. One one hand we had a family and worked at normal jobs like everyone else, but on the other hand we facilitated various tactical tasks when our handlers called upon us. These tasks were infrequent, at least for me. Some tasks involved a low level of ELF direction, while others were quite involved and required extensive communication with my handlers.

As independent operators, we identified with other units outside of our communication channels through use of a three triangle nomenclature. Apparently, the use of a triangle is a common point of reference for these programs. I do not know why. Most agents of a United States "alaphabet" organization (CIA, NSA, ONI, etc.) used a ring with the shape of a triange on it to indicate their relationship with us. On other occasions, other, more subtle methods were used.



Three Triangles.
For us, the three triangle symbology refers to the indexing feducials used to focus our attention when entering the primary implentation facility. These symbols are chiseled into the cement blocks of all facilities that have ELF transmitter access. In general, where there is a transmitter, the 'software' inside the implants can be accessed. Always, we need to be activated under controlled conditions. Thus, the feducials are an important part of a mind relaxiation technique to harmonize the mind.



About the Feducials
The feducials in the cement blocks; There are two cement blocks. They are placed side by side. The block on the left contains only one triangle. It is molded into the form used to create the block. It is not chisled in. The block on the right contains two triangles. One above the other. Each triangle is one inch long and 1/2 inch high. It is approximately 1/2 inch deep. The angles on the triangle are oriented such that there is one 30 degree angle on the left and two 60 degree angles on the right side. This is true for both blocks.

To use the relaxiation method, you relax your vision. As you do so, the image blurs and the two images superimpose over each other. Such then it appears that there are three triangles in a straight line. One above each other. This is an important relaxiation step. That is because the visual cortex has to be stabilized inorder to properly enter the transport "portal" at the ELF facility.



About the Transport Portal

(I fully realize that this is confusing to anyone reading this. I do not care. I am placing this on the Internet for posterity. Eventually it will make sense to others.)

The first time I entered the transport portal, I was off-planet for 5 days. I entered at 1:30 pm on Monday, and returned at 5:20 pm on friday of the same week. I have absolutely no recollection of what transpired during that time, with the exception of about 20 seconds as I reentered the Earthside return portal at the ELF facility. It was, surprisingly at a 90 degree angle to whence I entered. It was in the same room.



Just what was this thing? And, why was it part of the implant procedure? From my point of view, I first(1) had a talk with the base commander about joining the program, in a satellite office at the ELF facility, then we had (2) our brains mapped, and calibrated. Then, after that, we had (3) a hole drilled into our head (under local anesthetic), and a gun mounted to this enormous protractor (4) shot the five probes into the brain with different intensity and angles. Then, we went to the waiting room to (5) fill out the questionaire with the 15 - 16 girls, and then the (6) portal... Why was it important?

I do not know. Though I have my own ideas.



Obviously, this level of transport technology is far superior to anything that I have ever expected to experience. It isn't at all like Hollywood makes it appear to be like. There are no spherical portals or doors. There isn't a waterlike shine to the surface. Like what you would see in the TV show "Stargate SG-1". There isn't a kind of cloud or light shaped tunnel. You don't see ANYTHING. You see nothing. It all just looks like a bare cinder-block wall in a large hanger or storage room. The only difference was a staging line indicated by a piece of tape on the floor and a podium next to it, where the sailor sould stand and check off the checklist.

Because you can't see anything, you have to be guided and led into the portal. For us, we had to go through two stage lines. Each with a Naval sailor with a clipboard verifying the settings for each of us. The settings for transport had to be configured individually for each of us. Our settings were verified two times before we were told to walk into the field. One by one alone. And there we just simply walked into nothing. The girl in front of me vanished. As did all those before her.



Walking in...
When it was my turn, the sailor held my right arm with a vice-like grip and only told me to go when it was ready. I immediately felt a ringing in my ears and a vibration in my bones. With each step it got louder and stronger. I tell you, my heart was beating so fast! I took three steps and then...

... the next thing, it was 5 days later and I was leaving from a different portal. I entered the same room, but it was dark and empty, and only the base commander was waiting for me. He picked me up and drove me back to my barracks. You know, military bases are large, and to get around you can either use your own car, or use a military car. We rode back in a crappy sub-compact with USN base plates. LOL.



(Actually he dropped me off at the canteen). We chatted in the car as he drove me back. One thing he said to me was that I would not remember any of what happenned. He was right.

My botched deactivation.
I didn't have any real memories until I was deactivated, and only then because the techs running the equipment bungled up and allowed some non-agency folk to mess around with the controls. (But that is another story...) In effect, I remember things because my retirement was bungled up. The government techs did a nice job and then left. But the field was still on. In fact, it was still on for 4 days after they left. While it was on, the local ELF transmitter could be used to affect me. And, a couple of locals at the facility had a rocking good time playing with me. IT WAS HELLISH.



But, what no one understand is that they messed up the settings, and permitted me access to my source code. That is hard to describe. But, imagine, if you will a child playing on your computer. He hits all kinds of buttons. Then, on one of the buttons, the DOS screen pops up. Then he hits a F3 and then an F8. Suddenly the changes made by the agents are erased, and now I, the user, can input my own controls. WHICH I DID. (I'm not stupid, you know...)

My group.
My group consisted of 2 naval Aviators (myself and one other) and about 16 girls wearing civilian attire. Each of us filled out an innocuous appearing questionaire, with questions related to favorite colors, songs, opposite sex body type preferences, favorite pets, and other related questions. We were specifically instructed to answer them as truthfully as possible, then our answers were cross referenced on a 4 inch thick computer print-out and assigned a code. This code was then given to the portal operator.



These codes helped to configure the implants to best adust and adapt our station commands to fit our natural inclinations and desires. Contrary to what you read on the Internet, you cannot be foreced to like something you would not otherwise like. You cannot be forced to enjoy something that you would otherwise not enjoy. The center needed to be able to control our emotional resposes, and to do that, they needed to understand what appealed to us emotionally, and what repelled us.



Alien Technology?
I have never seen an alien, nor any kind of alien artifact. However, the technology that was used to teleport us was centuries ahead of the 1980's when I went into the portal. How did the USN acquire this technology? Where did it come from? Who developed it? Why isn't it in widespread use? And, why were all of us ELF implanted agents using this portal? For what purpose?

These are questions that I do not have the answers to. But I , for one, am absolutely convinced that it involves non-terrestial technology, and a colaborative effort with aliens from another world. There is no other way to make sense out of the level of technology that we were involved with. But, of course, these are my beliefs. I never saw and alien, just technology that was easily 4 to 5 centures beyond anything in the USA.



I believe, but I cannot substantiate it, that the ELF implants inside of our skulls came from some kind of high technology. Almost certainly alien to this planet and to the human race. And that they, and only they, can program it. Thus, we had to be teleported to their facility, whereever it was. But, remember, that is my opinion, only my OPINION.

Remember, that I was implanted in 1981. Each of the probes was under 1mm in diameter. This occurred at a time when computers still used dot matrix printers, and the use of a monitor was very rare indeed. So it seems incredulous to me that the USN or the ONI had this kind of human-developed technology alone.

Training
I went through a series of 5 cycles of training. Most of which occurred at the China Lake naval Weapons Center, outside Ridgecrest, California. The training mostly consisted of sitting in a chair inside a huge Anechoic chamber located within a base, within a base, within a base inside the facility. Ha. Like many high tech facilities, this was located in a remote part of the base. And, it consisted of a simple little cluster of buildings in the middle of an emmense stretch of flat desert.

To get to it you drove this flat road that went far off into the distance in the desert. Eventually, there, in the middle of the desert was a cluster of vans, and portible offices. All around a big warehouse that housed the chamber, and two electronic labs.

Hollywood makes you think that this is all shiny smoked glass, with plazma and LED displays, a dark room and all kinds of cool people wearing trendy clothes and white lab coats. They give you the impression that it had all kinds of electric key-activated passcodes, and things like that. Hollywood hasn't a clue! The reality was really, really different. (Well, at least in the 1980's...today things might be different.)

First of all, all the sheds, buildings and trailers were surrpunded with all kinds of unused electrics and military crapola of god-only knows what they were for. It rarely rained, so you could set the stuff outside for storage and nothing would ever happen. To get to the complex, you had to go through 3 gates with armed guards. No one was ever gonna steal the stuff...



Inside was a really messy control booth, raised up about 10 inches above the floor with cabling below it. Surrounded with rack mounted electronics that controlled the "horns" that would be beamed at us when we were in the chamber. Different horns were used. But for us, they were much smaller than the horns used to test missiles and weaponary. (This was a dual use facility, with all kinds of Ordnance lying around).

It was a wiring nightmare, as most of the electronics were custom made on the spot, apparently in the labs nearby. They were all wire wrapped, instead of soldered, and if one came loose, the training had to halt until we repaired it again. Sigh...

The training itself, always consisted of calibration, followed by utilization of the signals and interpetation of what the data looked like when broadcast to us. To some outside observer, it seems very passive. But it wasn't. The basic level was to become a robotic slave to the commands issued to you. But, we were more valuable than that. So we were taught how to reprogram our mind under certain conditions using the ELF signals. We were taught how to send and recieve images that our eyes saw, and how to record the memories like a snapshot. We were taught now to play with time and space in a most basic and simple manner... one that even now I am really confused about.



Operations
Generally the devices lie dormant, and are only activated when called upon. When that happens you are quite aware of it because there will be a 'flashing light' effect. It is as if there is a strobe light in front of your face. That is part of the Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the occipital cortex, the 'phosphenes' (flashes of light) always indicates the start of a ELF exercise.



After that brief period, the agent 'sees' a pastel map that they use their mind to control. This map is used to center the probe activity to the correct region of the brain. (Over time, there is a slight 'drift' of the probes, and calibration is necessary.) The operator moves the cursor over the region that represents the pineal gland. Once centered, and 'locked in', the map disappears and normal vision returns.

The operator can control the gain of the signal, by communicating with the control booth. But it has little effect on the communication process, except to offer a range of comfort to the operators who recieve the signals.



The operator sees things in a normal way, but the ELF probes affects your vision. We get a kind-of heads up display when turning on, and then operate with an enhanced sort of information processing. We 'see' harmonic caviation when in rooms, and we are very sensitive to temperature. In fact, the implants generate heat when operating, and that heat generation can kill us if left on. So we are always very careful about this.

Depending on the "mode" the probes are in, our visual cortex will give a different picture to our brain.

First mode is "normal". That is our visual cortex sees what the eys see normally.

The next mode is "Calibraion". In this mode, a pastel map is presented that we see to the exclusion of what we are looking at. We use this mode to calibrate the probbes.

The next mode is "Diagonistic", here a picture is overlaid over the vew the eyes see. The operator uses their mind to control the diagonistic menu. It is this menu that permits the person to program, alter, or reprogram specific coding of the probes inside the body. Curiously enough, the picture that is overlaid in the visual cortex is the album art of the agents favorite song when he filled out the questionaire prior to entering the field portal. Yeah, pretty strange. When I experienced it for the first time, I was floored!

We can hear clearly both normally, and what is going on in the control center where our handlers operate. For me, it has always been a group of handlers. I think that the staff in the control center rotates. I have never had the same staff members operate in any two tasks in a row. During each operation there were between 3 to 5 people, who give me direction, who operated and monitored the probes, and controled my motor functions. Yes, they can almost hijack my motor function... not quite. But almost.

Our Skills.
At first glance, the purpose of the sensors / probes is to communicate with the agent remotely. But that is the most primitive function of the devices. In addition to our formal eduction, and training, and with the ability to communicate two-way in real-time with the control-booth handlers, we have some some additional capabilities that normal humans do not have...

It is these additional capabilities that lead me to think that the probes come from an exterrestial source. For instance, we have an heightened awareness of our time and spacial coordinates. Which doesn't seem all that important, but it is really quite important. It gives us (for lack of a better word) advantage. It provides us with the ability to make an unasupicious event sequence, reverse itself and become auspicious. We can become 'lucky' in strategic matters...

We all have some degree of heightened ESP ability. We all have the ability to sense in an expanded visual range, even though our eyes were absolutely not operated on. We have the ability to work without experiencing fatigue for long periods of time, however, with the consequences of such an endeaver. We have the ability to slow time relative to our own perceptions, thus giving the appearance of us thinking and working faster than others. There are many other kinds of advances. Some obvious. Some strange. Some disturbing.

Our Purpose.
From day one, when the program was explained to me, it was obvious that it was unique. The basic premise of the program was to recruit, for life, idelogical individuals who put a high value on harmony and justice over their own personal well being. We were told that we would be working independently, without much material support. We were told that we would have a most important role, and that would be to become the catalyst of change.

As it was explained to us, most people are sheep. Even the people who rule entire nations, follow their biological programming and are subject to the whims of their passions. But, great changes are always instituted by a very select few. These people make the big and great changes that impact the entire course of history, and that was why we were chosen.

Instead of being an industrial giant like Henry Ford, or a philospher such as Plato, our roles were to be hidden. By using the directions given to us in our probes, we would become involved in the slightest of changes... ones that appear innocoulous, but were in all actuality, extremely signifigant. We were involved in minor things that had great changes in the lives of other people...

We were told that the changes that we were involved in were for mankind; humankind on the Earth, and NOT for any specific country. We understood that we would never be asked to do something that would not be in the best interests of the USA, but that we would be given assignements that would seem to contradict what we believed to be good for the nation. So we were taught to listen and to obey. Even the most simple assignments were to have a great and meaningful purpose.

Because of our training and level, we (my group) went on to persue a very high level of involvement. At our level, and the kinds of implants we had, we were taught how to make small adjustments to minor tasks and events that would have a great impact in the course of history, usually 5 or 8 years later. But there were other levels. Depending on test results and physical, biological makeup, other levels of involvment existed.

The level of involvement varied from ELF group. The ELF team through the ONI was part of a wider umbrella of groups that comprised teams from many othersources. These included the Army, Air Force, Civilian branches and others far to numerous to list here. Each one had a specific task. I know that those assigned to the ELF task teams through the Army eventually became involved in more direct-hands on roles. Such as you would expect to see on TV, or in the movies.

For me, (being, I believe) at the highest level, my tasks were the most innocolous; To be at a certain place at a certain time, and do nothing. To make sure that there was a book placed in a phone booth at a certain time. To dial a specific number and say a key phrase. Talk to a young child about certain things. How these things worked... I do not know, unless someone actually believes that fate can be altered when there isn't a fixed time sequence...

One thing I do know, is that time is a mental construct. there is no "past" and no "future". There is only the "now", and as such, we can alter it signifigantly by making "adjustments" at specific places and times. Sounds crazy. Well... Maybe it is. And that is the primary premise of the entire program... I guess.

Lower class individuals, those involved in less lofty tasks, did more hands on CIA type dirty work. They were almost like contractors for the CIA, except that they were treated more like "wild cards". I had very little to do with them.



Our Missions.
Most 'missions' appear to have no great purpose. It's certainly not what Hollywood would portray us to be. We shun fighting and violence, and are more apt to be quiet, passive and less engaged than what is portrayed by Jason Bourne. Most exercises that I was engaged in involved being 'in the right time at the right place' to add support, or assistance in a number of operations of unknown importance. Hardly the stuff of excitement.

During the operation, one of the control techs operates the tone and back beats that create an unleasing of trained memories. We 'hear' this beat through out our mission, and the tempo and tone can be used as a guide to determine the overall effectiveness of our activity. Personally, I prefer the beats over the chatter of the control booth. Unlike air-traffic controllers, our controllers also chat about life, girl freinds, and mundane things over the com link. I'm sure this is forbidden, but it happens never the less.



The background tempo is perhaps the major key to the use of the probes. The sounds trigger regions of memory. This is very important, as the suppressed trained memories contain important dormant skills, tools and abilities. With the tempo in place we regain various skills that automatically react when hearing the beat.

The most basic tempo is the "Military Bearing" tempo. It reminds you who you are. Then there is the "Martial Arts" tempo which makes you ready to fight and unlocks dormant martial arts skills (sort of like the movie The matrix), then there is the "Graduation" tempo that lets you know that the assignment is completed, and you can stand down. Other tempos, that I can think of now, include "Prep", "Study & Plan", "observe", "Passive", and "Abort". These are my names for them. I do not know if they have any official names...

When the task is undesirable...
Sometimes, the task before us is unpleasant, uncomfortable, or just plain wrong. We, as humans, have a natural aversion to doing unpleasant things. But, eventually, we do what we are asked. We really don't have much say in the matter.

We always coorporate because, once the field is on, we regain our memories. In fact, if we chose to resist our tasks, that would be nearly impossible because they can control our emotions as well as our motor functions. Once the task and mission is completed, we can relax and rest in our normal and often boring life.



Under the Fields effects...
Turning off the field is always a great relief. (This is the activation of the probes. When on they create a field that we work inside. Our bodies become more "electric" and "alive", or "aware".) Because when you are summoned, it is very uncomfortable. On longer missions, the field can be on for two weeks. This is extremely troublesome. I know operatives that have been tasked with uncomfortable tasks, and to inspire them to complete their mission parameters, the field would be engaged for months! It truly can make someone crazy!

The longest I have ever had the field on was for ten days... my body was running so hot that snow beside me outside melted! I couldn't drive a car because the windows steamed up all around me. No one wanted to stand next to me because the heat generated a terrible and strong body odor.



Over time, the body grows old. Skin sags, one's hair turns grey, muscles loose mass, and one puts on weight. The body changes and things shift in place. That is also true of the implants. Over time they migrate (slightly) out of their origional locations. Sometimes this causes trouble, and usually the agent goes to a doctor or hosptial to investigate the problem. Unless the hospital conducts an MRI scan, no one will know that there are sensors in place. Thus, often the agent will go to a psychologist or counseller to discuss their problems.

Because of the nature of the probes and the fact that the primary memories are repressed, often times the agent is unaware of their role in the ELF program. They will consider themselves to be unwitting victims of US government thought control experiments, or a victim of a mental illness. This is truly unfortunate, because EVERY person in the ELF program entered voluntairily.



My Missions...
Our mission parameters have always been kept secret. Even when entering the program we were not told it's true and real nature. Our purpose and utiltiy changed over time. Under the Reagan, and Bush administrations, most missions were in support of otherwise covert operations. This declined during the Clinton administration, and the number of missions decreased signifigantly. However, there was an alarming restructuring of how a mission was conducted. And, that was disturbing.

I will absolutely not dilvulge any of the missions and projects that I have been involved in. Many were innocolous. But, I can verify that there was a great switch and change in the operator assignment locations. To me, it seems, that under a Republican administration, most assignments were of an international nature. That is to say, many operatives lived and worked outside the United States in foreign nations. However, during the Democratic administrations, this changed, and most operatives operatied inside the United States and were involved in Covert Domestic operations.

Missions that I know about, but have NOT participated in, include; Delivering fresh pistols with absolutely no serial numbers (not grinded off... totally missing serial numbers) to a field agent. Assisting the transport of non-USA citizens accross the USA borders avoiding the DHS, and Customs agents, replacing the radio in a car with an identical one, replacing a library book with a different one, the interception of certain persons for delivery to other points, the monitoring of government and business people, and causing a public disturbance to direct attention away from some other event.

What we look like.
In Hollywood, the hero is always an attractive man. He is relatable and is strong and rarely makes mistakes. Examples include 007, Jason Bourne, all the characters from the movie "Push", etc. But, the truth is, all the ELF agents are just normal appearing people. We are not attractive, nor wonderful physical specimens. (Though when implanted, this was a different case.)

Movies want a relatable, and attractive hero to sell movies. But the government wants a ELF agent who is unassuming, boring, bland, one who blends into the background. It is important that no attention ever be directed to this individual. People listen to attractive people. Look at the popularity of John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Obama. Place a young attractive person against an old unattractive one, and the youth and beauty will win every time.

An ELF agent may be an attractive man in his 20's or a balding, man with a beer gut and pasty skin. You cannot tell what one looks like. We have just about every kind of occupation that you can think of. From a household painter, to a bus driver, to a accountant. He or she may be white, black, asian, or indian. There is no way to tell that they have implants.



Misuse of the ELF agents...
Sometimes, we become zombies for political purposes, and are used to create discord for political gain. Such was the case of the Naval Yard Shooter [here]. I totally disagree with this abuse of the program. I am quite aware of it. President Clinton used this program to create domestic incidents for political purposes. I know on one occasion he used an ELF operator to create discord, and that was news-worthy enough to distract the media from a scandal at the time. On another occasion, he used operatives to hurt innocents with firearms, thus furthering an anti-gun initative he was championing at the time.

part of me wants to be moderate about this misuse. I want to believe that it is representitive of isolated incidents only. That that is not the overall desire for the program to be misused for political purposes. I try to rationalize it, arguing that perhaps those in office really believe that it is in the best interests of the country that people be herded in such a manner. But, when I put all the pieces together, only one conclusion is evident...

The program is being misused from time to time for political purposes. The overwhelming evidence is to support a tyrannical dictatorship governed by an elitist class of people who utilize the media that they own, to convince people to support their increasingly Draconian policies. It was absolutely no coincidence that mad, apparently crazy people, would shoot up schools, try to blow things up and utilize exactly the weapons and items that the administration wanted banned.

Still, I want to believe that these were isolated cases. I believe the truth that most of us operate our lives in quiet isolation. We do our tasks with precision and accuracy, often not knowing why or for what purpose. My point is that all tools can be used for both good and bad. The ELF program was and is a very special program that is involved in many types of activities, not only for sensational tragities to be used as political expedients...

ELF Agent Retirement
Normally, ELF agents are never retired. They just exist as walking "time bombs", generally unaware of their training or over-riding purpose. Because many have made career decisions based on the ELF directions and mission parameters, many agents eventually feel that they live a confused and non-directed lifestyle. They ask themselves such questions as "Why did I quit that successful job to move to the Middle East?", or "What is the matter with me having these urges to purchase electrical components and make these gadgets, only to leave them in a good-will box in another state?". But agents do retire. It is not beneficial to keep an ELF agent in the field, in a potentially active role, for longer than 30 years.



The reason for this is simple. Technology advances. An agent implaneted with 1980 technology, eventually becomes obsolete compared to the newer agents. The sensors and probes change. As well, as the agents bodies age and change. But also, as a person ages, they mature. No longer are they the wide-eyed, innocent believers, that they were when they entered the program. they start to question things, and to make experienced judgment calls and decisions. Thus, they are no longer an ideal condidate for blind operations, especially if they are of questional strategic value... or, a blatent misuse of the technology for domestic political gain.



There are three primary ways to retire an ELF operative. It mostly depends on their level of field experience, knowledge, and the type of probes that they had implanted inside their skulls. They are;

1. Death. By "accident", or by "natural Causes".
2. Incarceration. Includes deactivation of the ELF probes while in a Prison "sorting" and medical facility. With post-prison monitoring.
3. Mothballing. This includes registration at a government ELF facility, with a debriefing and a stern warning towards non-disclosure.

Death. I know that some operatives die as a result of their missions. This is extremely common for those involved in domestic operations. But, this is different from a high-risk assignment. Being a target for termination in this way is ruthless and very, very rare.



Only the most dangerous operatives are terminated in this way. An operative is considered to be dangerous if (1) their implants do not respond properly to diagonstic scans, and (2) there appears to be an increased level of odd or, potentially anti-social behavior. When targeted for termination in this way, the preferred method used is to drive the agent to Suicide by using the probes. A relentless stream of thoughts are sent to the agent suggesting self destruction. This takes from 2 to 10 weeks, but is always effective.



Incarceration. This is the most common method of retirement of an ELF agent. The agent is arrested for some crime. Mostly it if for non-violent crimes, and crimes that require either long periods of Parole, or post-Prison supervision. The most common charge against an agent is for "Child Pornography". It is relatively easy to accuse someone of this crime. It results in long prison sentences with little proof, and always requires post prison monotoring and registration.



All state and federal prisons have an intake facility to register new felons and give them a medical exam. All of these facilities maintain an ELF evaluation facility (usually just a closet or small office attached next to the prisoner barracks.). Of course, there are the indexing feducials in place, and a procedure on how to handle these kinds of special individuals when they arrive and are evaluated.

Mothballing This is what I would assume to be the standard way to treat agents. I do know that there is a policy in place to deactive agents in this way. But I do not believe that it is commonly used. I know that retirment in this way is very rare. Unfortunately, most ELF agents are either killed or incarcerated.

Basically, the agent is called to attend a program, meeting or event on a military base. Then, the field is turned on. They are then registered and debriefed. Finally, the probes are mothballed, and the agent is permitted to access the source code to shut them off.

A final word.
When ever I mention this to others, it sounds fantastical, and crazy. And, if someone told me this, I would think so as well. IT is absoulutely out of the realm of experience of over 0.001% of the people in the world. To keep my sanity, I must say, I do not care if anyone believes me. One thing, however is true. The implant probes are in my skull. They can be seen under an MRI scan, and they are proof positive that what I am saying is true. It is not something you fake.



Now that I got that bit of confusion out of the way, I want to relate a type example of what I am talking about. Many times people just do not believe the experience of other people. They ask "Who would want to do such a thing?", or they ask "How could you possibley afford to do that?" People do not believe things that fall outside their realm of experience...

As an example... I remember an incident that occured during my college days. I had spent my summer vacation working in the coal mines of western Pennsylvania. My job position was as a tipple Loader. Basicly, I loaded crushed coal into railroad hoppers. I related to my fellow students about how sometimes, the breaks on these cars failed to work, and as a result, I woruld ride the runaway car down a grade until it slammed and smashed up to the other cars resting at the bottom of the hill.. IF the break failed, we would have to ride the car down hill, often approaching 55 MPH until it hit.

One of my fellow students called me a liar. His claim was the government would not possibly allow such a dangerous condition to occur. He argued that I was simply full of shit... instead, he claimed that I was simply stating that I was elaborating on a boring, underpaid job in the most colorful way to garner attention from my peers. Asshole. Of course it happened. That's life.



Do not judge the experiences of others as lies, simply because you never experienced it yourself.

Sex
Sex is a pretty explosive topic if you are from the United States. There are limits, taboos, methods of control, restrictions. What you can do, and what you can not do. Where you can do it. In short, it is a culturally regulated part of ones natural behavior.

However, if you move to another country you see the truth. It is not really that big of a deal. Yes, people like sex, but they are not crazy and annoyed about it. Governments dont try to regulate it much. So this is what I have to say about sex.

It is nice. I like it.

Please don't ask me any questions about what I like, or do not like. It is really a personal matter. Do not ask me about the details. It is rather an uncouth thing to do... socially unacceptable. Also, sex is an act of procreation. It is not a look or a study of the human body. I had to do that a lot when I studied painting. A painter looks a a body far differently than a horny 14 year old boy. In short, I try try to keep sex out of this blog.



Hiding behind ANON.
If you upset me enough, my connections and software skills are stong enough to unmask most ANONs. If you want to say something bad or hurtful...don't. It belittles your life, and traps your personality, and life in a downward cycle of dispair. Ride and rise above it. You don't like what someone has to say... then don't listen. Move on. Forget. Either you are right, or they are. But, in the grand scheme of things... who cares...





The world is a big place, but technology makes it very, very small. Hiding behind a mask or a supposed cloak of autonomy is just an illusion. We can all be unmasked. It is simply a matter of effort and financial expenditure. Even the Chinese woman who stole almost 300 Billion USD, was found. Sure, for three years, she thought she got away with her crimes. But not so... not so...

It is better to hold your voice, rather than create discord and hatred. Not cool. Not, not cool.

Bullying
I have zero tolerance for bullying, harming others, including animals, and general ganging up on the little guy. I don't care why you are doing it. It is wrong. STOP. Cowards bully. Sheep bully. Losers bully. If you discover that you are hating someone with others and do not stop, then you are being very very terrible. This kind of terrible meaness will come back on you. Maybe not immediately. But it most certainly will.



Listen to me. I know what I am talking about. I really do. Listen to my warnings. Listen.

Be kind. Life is cyclic. What comes around goes around. Sure, they might think it is fun to pick on a girl, or a boy. But that is bad. What happens? Well, maybe they will marry an asshole. Maybe they will have a child with handicaps. Maybe they will get into a terrible accident, and spend the rest of their life without arms and legs. Life comes around. Be good, and kind. Always.



God, or life, with exact an exact revenge upon those whom bully or hurt weaker people or animals. I have lived long enough to see it happen. Trust me. Full-on justice will occur. Just not in the form that you'd expect...

Special treatment for Racists
I do not care if your great, great great-grandfather was a slave, indentured servant, or prosititute. That was a different time, and you are you. Stop defining yourself by your aledged history. No one knows what happened then except for the people that are now long gone. Get over it. Build a life. Stop whining. And... stop accusing me for having a life of privalege because of my skin color. It is false, ignornant and only holds you back from the enjoyment of life.



My skin color is dark white because my father was of Polish ancestry. But that does not mean that I personally had anything to do with the American slave trade of 1740 to 1860. In fact, my father's family didn't come to America until 1920. They had nothing to do with slavery. So shut the fuck up!

My mother is Irish / Black-foot indian. And, you want to say YOU were oppressed? Please! I do not know a more oppressed group of people than the Irish in the cities of America during the 1800's, not to mention the emmense genocide conducted by the USA government on the Indians. First the government disarmed us, then they raped, and slaughtered us. I don't want to hear about how your great - great, great, grandfather was sold into slavery. Do you want to hear about my indentured great grandparents, or how I am the great grandson of a king who once owned the entire Ohio valley?



If you ever use the term 'white people', or discuss things about your being 'disadvantaged' then you need to pay attention to this. You have an illness. This kind of illness is habital in nature. Like people who cannot stopy lying, or people who cannot help but worry about their weight, you are unable to break free from the chains that you have wrapped yourself in. You need to break your bad habits and accept the life that you were born into, and not use manufactured excuses to justify your sloth and inability to achieve.

If you follow the 'race bating' techniques used by certain members of the democrat party, then you are in full complicity with them. There is no excuse for lazy thinking, loose logic, and mob psychology based upon mob behavior. Stop being a tool. Stop being used. Stop. Get a life, and move forward.



And, if you are an African-American who is doing this...STOP! AF GIrls are strong willed, strong household leaders, capable of many things. Born with womanly curves, a sharp wit and direct beauty that is amazing. If you are a AF man, then STOP. You do think that complaining makes you look powerful or manly? Do you think that you are a James Bond 007 type by complaining? Stop! It is unmanly, and AF men, when they are truly in contral are very, very manly.



And, last of all. Know your history. Know the reasons for everything, and view it from the point of view of a disinterested observer. When you do so, you will find a huge curtain of deceit and manipulation that is molding the opinions of the vast majority of African-Americans in the United States. And the huge machinery behind this manipulation does not originate out of the Republican party.

ObamaCARE
Medical care is important. If something bad happens to you, you will need to go to a doctor and get the best treatment available to you. But, in the USA, health care has become a political tool to be used AGAINST people. If it is a 'right', then write an amendment and make it a right. Don't legislate it as a tax, thereby giving the federal government to power to do anything it wants on Americans.

Let’s stipulate that most people who favor the ACA have honorable intentions: they want everyone, including people in ill health, to have access to good and affordable medical care. All decent people should want that. (How many favor it merely because it builds up government power and takes money from the well and well-heeled? I suspect it’s the same number as those who oppose it out of a dislike of the poor and ill. Of course politicians who favor the ACA undoubtedly find that it lines up nicely with their political interests.)

What looks and sounds nice, might and probably will, have some unexpected terrible consequences. THis has been true with EVERY government program. The larger the program, and more hedious the problems...



The problem is that in making government policy, unmovable obstacles often stand between motives and desired results. The laws of economics and politics thwart the best intentions. Sheer will is not enough to overcome these obstacles, because they are implicit in the logical structure of human action.

One cannot merely decree that there be good and affordable medical care for all. Setting up a byzantine bureaucracy won’t do the trick either. Reality is simply not subject to the human will in that way. The maxim “nature to be commanded must be obeyed” applies here.



If politicians, bureaucrats, and pundits do not understand this, it indicates that they are stuck in an outmoded mindset.

Be smart. Look around you. Compare health plans around the world. Do not believe the hype on the media...both pro and con. Think. The world has has humans procreating for over 30,000 years, and much of that was without having to buy insurance from the government. Is it really necessary, and if so, how can it be made better; more cost effective and useful?



The entire program is a grab of power by the federalists in power. And, it is a huge grab.

Chief Justice Roberts did not say obamacare was Constitutional. Please read his ruling. He said that the mandate was NOT Constitutional and that the ONLY WAY THAT the federal government could enforce obamacare is to enforce it as a tax. Thus, here is where the ACA mandate is unConstitutional. You need to understand, that the moment when Justice Roberts made that ruling, the ACA should have gone BACK to congress and should have been voted on as a tax.



That is not what happened. And, because of that, we now have a very serious problem with govenment power in Washington. Currently, the checks and balance system is ineffectual in washington, and Congress can pass any law they want to with impunity. Any law. ANY ONE.

ObamaCARE new taxes...
And what about all the new taxes...H.R. 3590, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, to give it its full title, is rammed full of tax increases which will further economically cripple Americans already laboring under the worst financial crisis since the great depression.

The partnering Reconciliation Act, currently in the Senate, also contains a raft of pork barrel and tax hikes, there to fund the trillion dollar cost of nationalizing medicine.

As reported by Bloomberg News today, analysis by the nonpartisan congressional Joint Committee on Taxation reveals that the bill will generate $409.2 billion in additional taxes by 2019.

In addition, the Congressional Budget Office states that the bill also levies almost $69 billion more in penalties for those who fail to meet mandates to buy insurance.

The Journal of Accountancy boils down some of the tax hikes and penalty fees in H.R. 3590 and the Reconciliation Act – the highlights include:

Excise Tax on Uninsured Individuals – Individuals who fail to maintain minimum essential coverage will be subject to a penalty equal to $750. The fee for an uninsured individual under age 18 is one-half of the adult fee.

Excise Tax on High-Cost Employer Plans – The federal government would impose a 40% tax on the value of employer-sponsored health coverage exceeding certain thresholds. Those levels are projected to be $8,500 for self only and $23,000 for any other level by the year 2013. This excise was announced with fanfare by the White House and labor unions in January and remains in the final bill.

Increase in additional tax on distributions from Health Savings Accounts and Archer Medical Savings Accounts not used for qualified medical expenses – An increase from 10% to 20% on taxes of money in a health savings account not used for qualified medical expenses. For Archer medical savings accounts, an increase from 15% to 20%.

Additional Hospital Insurance Tax on High-Income Taxpayers – High income tax payers, making on a joint return over $250,000 and a standard return over $200,000, are required to pay an additional 0.5% of wages. This applies to both self-employed, and regularly employed individuals.

Fees on Health Plans – A fee applied to all health insurance providers based upon net premiums and any third party fees associated with the administration of those programs. The fees will total $6.7 billion annually. This figure begins at $8 billion in the Reconciliation Act and rises to $14.3 billion by 2018.

Tax on Indoor Tanning Services – The act imposes a 10% tax on amounts paid for indoor tanning services. Like a sales tax, the tax will be collected from the person tanning when payment for the tanning services is made.

Business Insider boils down 15 more tax hikes here – highlights include:

Tax on individuals without acceptable health care coverage – A 2.5% income tax on individuals who do not have health care coverage, limited to a cost less than the average national health care premium.

Excise tax on elective cosmetic medical procedures – A tax of 5% is levied upon the am mount paid for any cosmetic surgery. This does not include the need for such surgeries created by trauma or a disfiguring disease. If the tax is not collected by that professional completing the procedure, their business is still liable for the requirement.

The Reconciliation Act also legislates for the following surcharges: 1% surcharge on individuals making more than $350,000, 1.5% surcharge on individuals making more than $500,000, 5.4% surcharge on individuals making more than $1 million.

Yet more tax provisions in the bill are highlighted by INvestors Business Daily in their piece titled 20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms – highlights include:

Taxes On Employers – If you are a large employer (defined as at least 101 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes) (Section 1513).

Taxes on Pharmaceutical Companies – The government will extract a fee of $2.3 billion annually from the pharmaceutical industry (Section 9008 (b)).

Taxes on medical device manufacturers – The government will extract a fee of $2 billion annually from medical device makers (Section 1405).

ObamaCARE Legality
May proponents of the ACA loudly proclaim that the Supreme Court announced that the government can impose mandates on Americans health. That is not really true. The Supreme Court only stated that the ONLY way that the ACA could be legal is IF it were a tax.

After the ammouncement, the pro-ACA forces in govenment went full ahead with their plans, in complete disregard to what the Supreme Court ruled. In fact, the Supreme Court stated that the ACA is illegal UNLESS it is a tax. And, as a tax, it has to meet two critical criteria;

1. First it must go through the legislative procedure as a Tax.
2. Secondly, it must generate revenue for a specific purpose.

Because neither of these things have occurred, there is a great resentment amoung the few remaining constitutionalists in government. They argue, and I agree, that the government must follow the law. Thus, they are taking action to enforce the ACA to adbide to the constitional constraints of the law.

According to a report, 40 GOP Congressmen have joined a lawsuit that will challenge Obamacare’s Constitutionality. But this time, it’s not about the mandate but rather, about its origination.

From Breitbart:

On November 8, Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ) and thirty-nine other Republican members of the House of Representatives filed a “friend of the court” brief in support of a legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) based on the Origination Clause that will be heard by the District of Columbia Federal Court of Appeals in early 2014.

The case, Sissel v United States Department of Health and Human Services, was filed in the Washington, D.C. District Federal Court by the Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of Matt Sissel, an Iraq war veteran who lives in Iowa, where he owns a small business, on July 26, 2010.

The Origination Clause of the Constitution, Article 1, Section 7, Clause 1 states;

"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."

Not a word of the Affordable Care Act originated in the House of Representatives. Instead, using a legislative trick, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took an innocuous bill that had passed the House unanimously on October 8, 2009 by a 416-0 vote, the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009, removed every word of its text following the first sentence, and replaced it with the Affordable Care Act language.

In case you’re a bit fuzzy on the details, here’s a short explanation:

If you’ll remember, both houses passed their own versions of so-called health care reform. But after the passing of Ted Kennedy, Massachusetts surprisingly elected Scott Brown to replace him, eliminating the Democrats’ filibuster proof majority in the Senate. This meant that the Senate couldn’t pass the House bill, because the Republicans had the ability to filibuster it. The House would have to pass the Senate’s version.

It was at this point that Obamacare was thought to be all but dead because very few expected that the bill that came out of the Senate would ever pass the House of Representatives. But lo and behold, with a little strong arming and shady, back-room deals, Nancy Pelosi was able to get the job done.

After the law’s passage, 26 states sued the federal government, insisting that the mandate, coercing citizens to purchase health insurance, was unconstitutional. But Justice Roberts and the majority of the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate was constitutional because the fines that would be issued for non-compliance weren’t fines at all but were actually “taxes”.

And, by definition, taxes do not exist as punishments for non-compliance, but exist to raise revenue. This means that by calling it a “tax”, John Roberts made Obamacare a revenue raising bill. I now refer you back to Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution:

"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."

This, of course, means that Obamacare is plainly unconstitutional because it did not originate in the House of Representatives…except that it barely did. All Harry Reid did (or ever has to do) is find any bill that has ever passed the Congress, “amend” it by stripping out all the original language and change it to say anything he wants and bam! it “originated” in the House. These types of bills are called “shell” bills.

So, here’s the problem: did Obamacare (which is a revenue-raising tax) originate in the House of Representatives or in the Senate? Any objective and honest person would say the Senate.

The most disturbing thing...
The most disturbing thing to me, about the ACA (ObamaCARE) is that those promoting it the most are not enrolled in it. That frightens me. Would you buy food in a resturant where the waitresses and cooks refused to eat? Would you eat a plant that farmers refuse to eat, grow or sell? To this day, the biggest advocates of this health plan do not carry it. The warning signs are everywhere...

They ought to make a law...
One of the most common kinds of blogger posts involve outrage over some act or story. Ultimately, the blogger will post what they think would be the solution to the problem, and their ideas of preventive actions. On the surface, this seems normal and right. On the surface...

Everything you read is slanted news. It is ALL propiganda. And as such, you must read it critically. You will read about female infants aborted in China... you will want to stop it. You will read about a shooting by a AK-47... you will want to ban them. You will read about Cancer caused by breast implants... you will want to ban them. It is all HALF-TRUTHS. Do not believe everything you see and read.



The bottom line is this, unless you yourself are experiencing the action or activity personally, you are hearing it second hand from a questionable source. Do not believe it. Both the left and right manipulate the media in this way. They do so to get the population to behave in an emotional mob mentality, so as to easily manipulate them. This is normal, and often quite dangerous.

When you think of any thought that (1) enforces your solution on a stranger, and (2) requires police, laws, or enforcement funding to do, you are in fact VIOLATING the freedom and liberty of others. Get off your high horse, and stop. If someone else wants to smoke cigarettes for fun, let them. Don't make a law for their-own good so they don't get lung cancer. It is none of your business.

America is full of do-goodie left and self-righteous right trying to force their individual beliefs on others. STOP! Unless YOU are PERSONALLY experiencing something, ignore the message. It is nothing less than propiganda. Watch yourself.

Girls
I like to post Asian girls alot. I live in Asia, and I find many of the women cute and attractive. But, I am often disturbed by the artificial standards that girls put on themselves. Girls are pretty. PERIOD. Short, tall, big, small, round, skinny. They are all beautiful. Girls think that they are ugly because the magazines say so. But that is not true. Guys, almost all guys, like girls who act and behave and look like girls.

Do not compare yourself. All girls are beautiful. Look at all these beauties below... Each one has a different body fat. And I think all of them are great!



Some guys like big bums, others like small tushes., Some guys like big boobs, while others like thin, flat chested models. Some guys like long legs, and long hair. Some guys like fair skin, while others like tan, and brown skin. Trust me, whether it is on the outside, or on the inside... there is some remarkable and wonderful thing about every girl. And, if you are a girl reading this, that includes you!

You shouldn't compare yourself to others. You shouldn't. Though, many girls do. That is really not good. But, if you insist on doing this, then please look at the comparisons realistically. The average American woman is 5'3" and wears a size 12.



You should never be ashamed of who you are. Nor, whould you compare yourself with others. Both are wholly self defeating activities that destroy your sense of worth and value.

There is a complete science behind body shapes. Much of it involves percentage of body fat, and that is used in conjunction with overall baody shape. A study of the percentage of body fat relative to activity is really interesting. It is known as somatotype. An interesting chart of the somatotypes of famous people is really very curious.

Girls, please be yourself. Do not fall for the illusions that are promoted in media. The beauty magazines are all photoshopped, and are designed to sell magazines and products. All the actors use plastic surgery and digital enhanced extras to promote their own 'ideal' image. Don't fall for it.

Keep your self clean. Be healthy. Think good thoughts and be friendly. You will find the man for you. You will. I know that loneliness is horrible, but it always ends. Please believe me.

Revolution
As much as I do not like the changes going on in the USA today, I do not advocate an armed ressurection. I strongly urge people to try to get inside the system and enact change from inside. Don't try the 'brute-force' method. It is dangerous.

I know that many Americans are upset. If you can't see this, then you are living under a rock. Some are very upset, and are willing to take up arms and fight. Yes, it is that bad. Luckily, many are just sitting tight and looking around themselves to see what other people are doing. Smart thing... in this case. Ameria is now a turn-key tyranny. There is not much that can be done at this late stage of the game. So I urge everyone to secure their firearms, and stand down.



TianAnMen was a case in point. The changes in China were a direct result of the TianAnMen event, but not because of the fighting and the deaths. Instead, the people in government saw the need for change. Slowly, and in time, they amassed their forces and enacted change carefully from within the structure of govenment itself. Now look at how successful China is today.

I urge everyone who wants change to be patient, careful and work the desired changes from within the strongholds of power. Otherwise, all your energy will be wasted on ghosts and illusions. Now is not the time to fight. Now is the time to infiltrate and take up positions inside the monsters lair.



Tumble tags on Liberty & Freedom
Here in China, the Chinese Internet is monitored. It is done much the same was as the USA does it. But because of the differences in distance, and other factors, any redirects to the NSA collection facilities at the Utah data Center take time. This time lag, coupled with the Chinese Internet monitoring system causes a Internet crash.

What this means, for me in China, typing the words "freedom" or "liberty" in China, there is a slight pause. The pause happens on all websites that I type it on. However, when I type it on NSA- Linked websites, such as Tumblr, Yahoo, Google, MSN and a few others, I get a system crash. The blogs are unavailable to me.

How is this signifigant? Well, we know why China monitors the Internet for these terms. They are searching for groups of dissent, and patterns of unrest. But, why is the USA also monitoring these words? Could it be that they pose a threat to the government in the USA?

The USA government considers the terms "freedom" and "liberty" to be revolutionary and terror-related. Only tyrannical governments consider freedom to be dangerous.

Thank You
BTW. Thank you for reading my rant. It's a rare individual who reads all the way down to this point. Kudos to you, sir!

When things look really bleak
I have had many experiences in life. Both great and good, and horribly bad. In fact, I had a time that was so bad that when one friend would try to comfort me by saying "well, it can't get any worse" and it did... Over and over, maybe 25 times, before the complete collapse of my life was complete. So I do know bleak hopelessness. I really, really do.



You have to ride it out. This is the peak of your life experience. How you handle this period will define how you will be judged by the spirits when you die. Don't fuck it up. This is it. The curtain is up and the spot-light is on you. Take a deep breath and face the world.



I do not know your situation, nor your experiences. But I do want to tell you this thing. No matter how bad things are, and no matter how terrible the change is, it will eventually end. Storms do not last forever. They come on hard, and they seem to last forever, but eventually they go away. That is what will happen to you, if your life goes down the toilet.

Today we have words for the various types and kinds of saddness. We have identified the causes, and have classified it. We know the causes and treatments of all kinds of states of emotion. We can fix these things. But, unfortunately, when you are in a state to true and real dispair, you dont have the energy or the inclination to seek help. You just thrash about blindly, or hold it inside.

Maybe you know that you need help, or that it is only temporary. But that is what your mind says. It has no connection to the pain, and the real and actual hurt that you are experiencing. The sharp biting sobbing, and the headache. The emptiness inside and the bleak outlook where nothing is good. Where food has no taste, and you can't see joy or purpose in anything...

So, what do you do when you want to scream and let all the hurt out? What do you do when it seems that everyone hates or, or even worse, doesn't care about you. What do you do, if you are tormented on the Internet, or abused by people you throught were your friends? What do you do when every waking moment of your life seems to be falling apart? What do you do?

Sometimes, we can't walk down this road alone. Yet, we don't know where to turn. Sometimes, telling our best friends, our parents, or classmates, or even a professional counseler is not sufficient. We don't know where to turn. I know that it is difficult. What do you do when you can't find anyone... anyone to talk to?

I go to a non-human. I go to a cat. Or, a dog. I go to the Animal Shelter. These poor creatures are alone, and scared. They lost everything. Their owners whom they trushed are now gone, and they spend their days alone in stark wire cages. They pace about. But you can visit them. You can go and the workers will put you in a room with the animal of your choice and you two can comfort each other. Try it. They are going through what you are... just in a different way. try it.

Chances are you are suffering right now, or are in a state of dispair. Hold on and ride it out. It will be uncomfortable and very scary. It will, but please trust me... it will end. Do not end your life over it. Do not do anything drastic. Calm down, and seek help. Calm down and spend time away from people and things made by man. Go to the beach, the park, or near animals. Give your mind a break. It is your mind that is making your life horrible. Ride it out, and don't give up.





Protect The Little Ones
We all have a role in this life. And, while many of us act like sheep or cattle, following the dictates of our genes, or the passions of our friends, or the directions from our 'leadership', we need to be true to our inner being. We need to listen to that quiet voice inside of ourself. We need to give love out freely. We need to help others. We need to radiate happiness, good will and prosperity. We need to protect others. We need to be helpful, and stop an onslaught of hurt. Protect the little guys. It is our greatest cause.



Personally, I love cats. But I have both dogs and cats. They are companions to man. Each have personalities, emotions and feelings. They are part of our family, and they give so much to each of us. If you hate animals, you are missing out in something remarkable. Animals can enhance our life emmensely.



How Many Constitutional Freedoms Have We Lost?

This post explains the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights – the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution – and provides a scorecard on the extent of the loss of each right. (This is an updated version of an essay we wrote in February. Unfortunately, a lot of information has come out since then.)

First Amendment

The 1st Amendment protects speech, religion, assembly and the press:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Supreme Court has also interpreted the First Amendment as protecting freedom of association.

However, the government is arresting those speaking out[v1] … and violently crushing peaceful assemblies which attempt to petition the government for redress[v2].

A federal judge found that the law allowing indefinite detention of Americans without due process has a “chilling effect” on free speech[v3]. And see this and this.

There are also enacted laws allowing the secret service to arrest anyone protesting near the president or other designated folks (that might explain incidents like this).

Mass spying by the NSA violates our freedom of association.

The threat of being labeled a terrorist for exercising our First Amendment rights certainly violates the First Amendment. The government is using laws to crush dissent, and it’s gotten so bad that even U.S. Supreme Court justices are saying that we are descending into tyranny.

For example, the following actions may get an American citizen living on U.S. soil labeled as a “suspected terrorist” today:

• Complaining about the taste of your tap water

• Being young (if you live near a battle zone, you are fair game; and see this)

• Reporting or doing journalism (and here and here)

• Having “strange odors” or “bright colored stains on clothes” (what if you eat mustard or ketchup?)

• Speaking out against government policies

• Protesting anything (such as participating in the “Occupy” or “Tea Party” movements)

• Questioning war (even though war reduces our national security; and see this)

• Criticizing the government’s targeting of innocent civilians with drones (although killing innocent civilians with drones is one of the main things which increases terrorism. And see this)

• Asking questions about pollution (even at a public Congressional hearing?)

• Paying cash at an Internet cafe

• Asking questions about Wall Street shenanigans

• Creating alternative currencies

• Stocking up on more than 7 days of food (even though all Mormons are taught to stockpile food, and most Hawaiians store up on extra food)

• Having bumper stickers saying things like “Know Your Rights Or Lose Them”

• Investigating factory farming

• Taking pictures or videos

• Talking to police officers

• Writing on a piece of paper

• (Not having a Facebook account may soon be added)

And holding the following beliefs may also be considered grounds for suspected terrorism:

• Reporting, in a Negative way, any DHS or Government official.

• Being frustrated with “mainstream ideologies”

• Valuing online privacy (and see this)

• Liking the Founding Fathers

• Being anti-tax, anti-regulation or for the gold standard

• Being “reverent of individual liberty”

• “Believe in conspiracy theories”

• “A belief that one’s personal and/or national “way of life” is under attack”

• “Impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)”

• “Insert religion into the political sphere”

• “Those who seek to politicize religion”

• “Supported political movements for autonomy”

• Being “anti-abortion”

• Being “anti-Catholic”

• “Suspicious of centralized federal authority”

• “Fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)”

• “A belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in … survivalism”

• Opposing genetically engineered food

Of course, Muslims are more or less subject to a separate system of justice in America.

And 1st Amendment rights are especially chilled when power has become so concentrated that the same agency which spies on all Americans also decides who should be assassinated.

Second Amendment

The 2nd Amendment states:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Gun control and gun rights advocates obviously have very different views about whether guns are a force for violence or for good.

But even a top liberal Constitutional law expert reluctantly admits that the right to own a gun is as important a Constitutional right as freedom of speech or religion:

Many academics are happy to blissfully ignore the Second Amendment. As it does not fit neatly into their socially liberal agenda.

The government fears the second amendment. An armed population is the greatest deterrent to tyranny and government opposition. So in order to enact legilation, laws and rules that run counter to what the people want, the second amendment must be rendered useless, if not totally destroyed. To this end, the current administration has been flooding the country with literally thousands of laws and regulations designed to do just that... to reduce the second amendment into obscurity.

It is hard to read the Second Amendment and not honestly conclude that the Framers intended gun ownership to be an individual right. It is true that the amendment begins with a reference to militias: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Accordingly, it is argued, this amendment protects the right of the militia to bear arms, not the individual.

Yet, if true, the Second Amendment would be effectively declared a defunct provision. The National Guard is not a true militia in the sense of the Second Amendment and, since the District and others believe governments can ban guns entirely, the Second Amendment would be read out of existence.

Those who view the second amendment as a collective right and not an individual right, has not read the Preamble to the Bill of Rights. The Preamble clearly, states that the ten amendments are individual rights designed to protect the individual from the USA government. Surprise!

More important, the mere reference to a purpose of the Second Amendment does not alter the fact that an individual right is created. The right of the people to keep and bear arms is stated in the same way as the right to free speech or free press. The statement of a purpose was intended to reaffirm the power of the states and the people against the central government. At the time, many feared the federal government and its national army. Gun ownership was viewed as a deterrent against abuse by the government, which would be less likely to mess with a well-armed populace.

Considering the Framers and their own traditions of hunting and self-defense, it is clear that they would have viewed such ownership as an individual right — consistent with the plain meaning of the amendment.

None of this is easy for someone raised to believe that the Second Amendment was the dividing line between the enlightenment and the dark ages of American culture. Yet, it is time to honestly reconsider this amendment and admit that … here’s the really hard part … the NRA may have been right. This does not mean that Charlton Heston is the new Rosa Parks or that no restrictions can be placed on gun ownership. But it does appear that gun ownership was made a protected right by the Framers and, while we might not celebrate it, it is time that we recognize it.

Because of the flood of laws and regulations being pushed to isolate the 2nd amendment from the Bill of Rights, and it's Preamble, the Supreme court took the task to hand and ruled on it. They decided, on a 5 to 4 ruling, that the 2nd Amednment did indeed affirm the right of an individual to own a gun. [DF1]. You can find McDonald v. Chicago (561 U.S._(2010) the text of the ruling [here]. And, a summary [here].

The gun control debate, in which what restrictions the government can put on the private ownership of weapons is still in debate. In other words, at what point does the government restrictions reach a point of violation of the law? This would include such things as which weapons and magazines are able to be banned.

Third Amendment

The 3rd Amendment prohibits the government forcing people to house soldiers:

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Hey … we’re still honoring one of the Amendments... Right? ... or are we? Not so. In fact, the 3rd amendment is being routinely violated. Surprise!

In fact, the quartering Police Officers and other personnel in your house is deemed necessary to conduct criminal investigations. Many times, neighbors to an alledged criminal enterprise are required to let the police use their house (without compensation) to condust sting operations. It is not just the local police, but can and does include DHS personnel, FBI, CIA, NSA or IRS officers in your house against your wishes... is a flagrant violation of this amendment. Yet is is being done. It is being done in the name of fighting crime, preventing terrorism, and for protecting children. [here] [here] [here] [here] [here]



The governments defense is simple. The amendment applies only to Army solders. Not to members of the Air Force, Marines, Coast guard, Homeland Security, or any government agency. They argue that any government agency, other than one associated with the US Army, can take over your house and possesion for their use at will, without justification, or court order.

Fourth Amendment

The 4th Amendment prevents unlawful search and seizure:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

But the government is spying on everything we do … without any real benefit or justification.

Indeed, experts say that the type of spying being carried out by the NSA and other agencies is exactly the kind of thing which King George imposed on the American colonists … which led to the Revolutionary War.

And many Constitutional experts – such as Jonathan Turley – think that the police went too far in Boston with lockdowns and involuntary door-to-door searches.

But the government is flying drones over the American homeland to spy on us.

Senator Rand Paul correctly notes:

The domestic use of drones to spy on Americans clearly violates the Fourth Amendment and limits our rights to personal privacy.

Paul introduced a bill to “protect individual privacy against unwarranted governmental intrusion through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles commonly called drones.”

Emptywheel notes in a post entitled “The OTHER Assault on the Fourth Amendment in the NDAA? Drones at Your Airport?”:

***

As the map above makes clear–taken from this 2010 report–DOD [the Department of Defense] plans to have drones all over the country by 2015.

Many police departments are also using drones to spy on us. As the Hill reported:

"...At least 13 state and local police agencies around the country have used drones in the field or in training, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, an industry trade group. The Federal Aviation Administration has predicted that by the end of the decade, 30,000 commercial and government drones could be flying over U.S. skies..."

***

“Drones should only be used if subject to a powerful framework that regulates their use in order to avoid abuse and invasions of privacy,” Chris Calabrese, a legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said during a congressional forum in Texas last month.

He argued police should only fly drones over private property if they have a warrant, information collected with drones should be promptly destroyed when it’s no longer needed and domestic drones should not carry any weapons.

He argued that drones pose a more serious threat to privacy than helicopters because they are cheaper to use and can hover in the sky for longer periods of time.

A congressional report earlier this year predicted that drones could soon be equipped with technologies to identify faces or track people based on their height, age, gender and skin color.

Even without drones, Americans are the most spied on people in world history: [here]

The American government is collecting and storing virtually every phone call, purchases, email, text message, internet searches[here], social media communications[here], health information, employment history, travel and student records[here], and virtually all other information of every American. [And see this.]

American cities installing ominous surveillance tech despite NSA scandal Mass surveillance isn’t something only being conducted by the likes of the National Security Agency anymore. Despite growing concerns brought on by the Summer of Snowden, cities around America are adopting high tech spy tools. Not just in San Diego, but also in other cities. Seattle has implemented a system of tracking its residents and residents that even George Orwell could not have imagined[here].

The government is also using facial recognition software and surveillance cameras to track where everyone is going[here]. And [here], and truly frightening [here]. The TACIDS is an amazing and horrifying system!

Moreover, cell towers track where your phone is[here] at any moment, and the major cell carriers, including Verizon and AT&T, responded to at least 1.3 million law enforcement requests[here] for cell phone locations and other data in 2011. (And – given that your smartphone routinely sends your location information[here] back to Apple or Google – it would be child’s play for the government to track your location that way.) Your iPhone, or other brand of smartphone is spying on virtually everything you do[here] (ProPublica notes: “That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker[here]“).

As the top spy chief at the U.S. National Security Agency explained this week, the American government is collecting some 100 billion 1,000-character emails per day, and 20 trillion communications of all types per year.

He says that the government has collected all of the communications of congressional leaders, generals and everyone else in the U.S. for the last 10 years.

He further explains that he set up the NSA’s system so that all of the information would automatically be encrypted, so that the government had to obtain a search warrant based upon probably cause before a particular suspect’s communications could be decrypted. [He specifically did this to comply with the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure.] But the NSA now collects all data in an unencrypted form, so that no probable cause is needed to view any citizen’s information. He says that it is actually cheaper and easier to store the data in an encrypted format: so the government’s current system is being done for political – not practical – purposes.

He says that if anyone gets on the government’s “enemies list”, then the stored information will be used to target them. Specifically, he notes that if the government decides it doesn’t like someone, it analyzes all of the data it has collected on that person and his or her associates over the last 10 years to build a case against him.

Wired reports:

Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations….

The systems are being installed in San Francisco, Baltimore, and other cities with funding from the Department of Homeland Security in some cases ….

The IP audio-video systems can be accessed remotely via a built-in web server (.pdf), and can be combined with GPS data to track the movement of buses and passengers throughout the city.

***

The systems use cables or WiFi to pair audio conversations with camera images in order to produce synchronous recordings. Audio and video can be monitored in real-time, but are also stored onboard in blackbox-like devices, generally for 30 days, for later retrieval. Four to six cameras with mics are generally installed throughout a bus, including one near the driver and one on the exterior of the bus.

***

Privacy and security expert Ashkan Soltani told the Daily that the audio could easily be coupled with facial recognition systems or audio recognition technology to identify passengers caught on the recordings.

RT notes:

Street lights that can spy installed in some American cities

America welcomes a new brand of smart street lightning systems: energy-efficient, long-lasting, complete with LED screens to show ads. They can also spy on citizens in a way George Orwell would not have imagined in his worst nightmare.

­With a price tag of $3,000+ apiece, according to an ABC report, the street lights are now being rolled out in Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh, and may soon mushroom all across the country.

Part of the Intellistreets systems made by the company Illuminating Concepts, they have a number of “homeland security applications” attached.

Each has a microprocessor “essentially similar to an iPhone,” capable of wireless communication. Each can capture images and count people for the police through a digital camera, record conversations of passers-by and even give voice commands thanks to a built-in speaker.

Ron Harwood, president and founder of Illuminating Concepts, says he eyed the creation of such a system after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Hurricane Katrina disaster. He is “working with Homeland Security” to deliver his dream of making people “more informed and safer.”

Fox news notes that the government is insisting that “black boxes” be installed in cars to track your location.

The TSA has moved way past airports, trains and sports stadiums, and is deploying mobile scanners to spy on people all over the place. This means that traveling within the United States is no longer a private affair. (And they’re probably bluffing, but the Department of Homeland Security claims they will soon be able to know your adrenaline level, what you ate for breakfast and what you’re thinking … from 164 feet away.)

And Verizon has applied for a patent that would allow your television to track what you are doing, who you are with, what objects you’re holding, and what type of mood you’re in. Given Verizon and other major carriers responded to at least 1.3 million law enforcement requests for cell phone locations and other data in 2011, such information would not be kept private. (And some folks could be spying on you through your tv using existing technology.)

Of course, widespread spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this). So the whole “post-9/11 reality” argument falls flat.

And the spying isn’t being done to keep us safe … but to crush dissent and to smear people who uncover unflattering this about the government … and to help the too big to fail businesses compete against smaller businesses (and here).

In addition, the ACLU published a map in 2006 showing that nearly two-thirds of the American public – 197.4 million people – live within a “constitution-free zone” within 100 miles of land and coastal borders:

The ACLU explained:

• Normally under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the American people are not generally subject to random and arbitrary stops and searches.

• The border, however, has always been an exception. There, the longstanding view is that the normal rules do not apply. For example the authorities do not need a warrant or probable cause to conduct a “routine search.”

• But what is “the border”? According to the government, it is a 100-mile wide strip that wraps around the “external boundary” of the United States.

• As a result of this claimed authority, individuals who are far away from the border, American citizens traveling from one place in America to another, are being stopped and harassed in ways that our Constitution does not permit.

• Border Patrol has been setting up checkpoints inland — on highways in states such as California, Texas and Arizona, and at ferry terminals in Washington State. Typically, the agents ask drivers and passengers about their citizenship. Unfortunately, our courts so far have permitted these kinds of checkpoints – legally speaking, they are “administrative” stops that are permitted only for the specific purpose of protecting the nation’s borders. They cannot become general drug-search or other law enforcement efforts.

• However, these stops by Border Patrol agents are not remaining confined to that border security purpose. On the roads of California and elsewhere in the nation – places far removed from the actual border – agents are stopping, interrogating, and searching Americans on an everyday basis with absolutely no suspicion of wrongdoing.

• The bottom line is that the extraordinary authorities that the government possesses at the border are spilling into regular American streets.

Computer World reports today:

Border agents don’t need probable cause and they don’t need a stinking warrant since they don’t need to prove any reasonable suspicion first. Nor, sadly, do two out of three people have First Amendment protection; it is as if DHS has voided those Constitutional amendments and protections they provide to nearly 200 million Americans.

***

Don’t be silly by thinking this means only if you are physically trying to cross the international border. As we saw when discussing the DEA using license plate readers and data-mining to track Americans movements, the U.S. “border” stretches out 100 miles beyond the true border. Godfather Politics added:

But wait, it gets even better! If you live anywhere in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey or Rhode Island, DHS says the search zones encompass the entire state.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have a “longstanding constitutional and statutory authority permitting suspicionless and warrantless searches of merchandise at the border and its functional equivalent.” This applies to electronic devices, according to the recent CLCR “Border Searches of Electronic Devices” executive summary [PDF]:

Fourth Amendment

The overall authority to conduct border searches without suspicion or warrant is clear and longstanding, and courts have not treated searches of electronic devices any differently than searches of other objects. We conclude that CBP’s and ICE’s current border search policies comply with the Fourth Amendment. We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits. However, we do think that recording more information about why searches are performed would help managers and leadership supervise the use of border search authority, and this is what we recommended; CBP has agreed and has implemented this change beginning in FY2012.

First Amendment

Some critics argue that a heightened level of suspicion should be required before officers search laptop computers in order to avoid chilling First Amendment rights. However, we conclude that the laptop border searches allowed under the ICE and CBP Directives do not violate travelers’ First Amendment rights.

The ACLU said, Wait one darn minute! Hello, what happened to the Constitution? Where is the rest of CLCR report on the “policy of combing through and sometimes confiscating travelers’ laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices—even when there is no suspicion of wrongdoing?” DHS maintains it is not violating our constitutional rights, so the ACLU said:

"...If it’s true that our rights are safe and that DHS is doing all the things it needs to do to safeguard them, then why won’t it show us the results of its assessment? And why would it be legitimate to keep a report about the impact of a policy on the public’s rights hidden from the very public being affected?

***

As ChristianPost wrote,

"... Your constitutional rights have been repealed in ten states. No, this isn’t a joke. It is not exaggeration or hyperbole. If you are in ten states in the United States, your some of your rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights have been made null and void.”

The ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the entire DHS report about suspicionless and warrantless “border” searches of electronic devices. ACLU attorney Catherine Crump said

"... “We hope to establish that the Department of Homeland Security can’t simply assert that its practices are legitimate without showing us the evidence, and to make it clear that the government’s own analyses of how our fundamental rights apply to new technologies should be openly accessible to the public for review and debate.”

Meanwhile, the EFF has tips to protect yourself and your devices against border searches. If you think you know all about it, then you might try testing your knowledge with a defending privacy at the U.S. border quiz.

Wired pointed out in 2008 that the courts have routinely upheld such constitution-free zones:

Federal agents at the border do not need any reason to search through travelers’ laptops, cell phones or digital cameras for evidence of crimes, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, extending the government’s power to look through belongings like suitcases at the border to electronics.

***

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the government, finding that the so-called border exception to the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches applied not just to suitcases and papers, but also to electronics.

***

Travelers should be aware that anything on their mobile devices can be searched by government agents, who may also seize the devices and keep them for weeks or months. When in doubt, think about whether online storage or encryption might be tools you should use to prevent the feds from rummaging through your journal, your company’s confidential business plans or naked pictures of you and your-of-age partner in adult fun.

Fifth Amendment

The 5th Amendment addresses due process of law, eminent domain, double jeopardy and grand jury:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

But the American government has shredded the 5th Amendment by subjecting us to indefinite detention and taking away our due process rights.

The government claims the right to assassinate or indefinitely detain any American citizen on U.S. citizen without any due process. And see this.

As such, the government is certainly depriving people of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

There are additional corruptions of 5th Amendment rights – such as property being taken for private purposes.

The percentage of prosecutions in which a defendant is denied a grand jury is difficult to gauge, as there is so much secrecy surrounding many terrorism trials.

Protection against being tried twice for the same crime after being found innocent (“double jeopardy”) seems to be intact. Or is it? Apparently, many proscutors across the USA seem to have forgotten this clause.

You can see examples of this abuse... [here] [here] [here] [here]

Sixth Amendment

The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to hear the criminal charges levied against us and to be able to confront the witnesses who have testified against us, as well as speedy criminal trials, and a public defender for those who cannot hire an attorney:

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

Subjecting people to indefinite detention or assassination obviously violates the 6th Amendment right to a jury trial. In both cases, the defendants is “disposed of” without ever receiving a trial … and often without ever hearing the charges against them.

More and more commonly, the government prosecutes cases based upon “secret evidence” that they don’t show to the defendant … or sometimes even the judge hearing the case.

The government uses “secret evidence” to spy on Americans, prosecute leaking or terrorism charges (even against U.S. soldiers) and even assassinate people. And see this and this.

Secret witnesses are being used in some cases. And sometimes lawyers are not even allowed to read their own briefs.

Indeed, even the laws themselves are now starting to be kept secret. And it’s about to get a lot worse.

True – when defendants are afforded a jury trial – they are provided with assistance of counsel. However, the austerity caused by redistribution of wealth to the super-elite is causing severe budget cuts to the courts and the public defenders’ offices nationwide.

Moreover, there are two systems of justice in America … one for the big banks and other fatcats, and one for everyone else. The government made it official policy not to prosecute fraud, even though fraud is the main business model adopted by Wall Street. Indeed, the biggest financial crime in world history, the largest insider trading scandal of all time, illegal raiding of customer accounts and blatant financing of drug cartels and terrorists have all been committed recently without any real criminal prosecution or jail time.

On the other hand, government prosecutors are using the legal system to crush dissent and to silence whistleblowers.

And some of the nation’s most powerful judges have lost their independence … and are in bed with the powers-that-be.

Seventh Amendment

The 7th Amendment guarantees trial by jury in federal court for civil cases:

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

As far as we know, this right is still being respected, BUT it is being ignored. Instead of a trial by Jury we have a system of Plea Bargains, and high bail that effectively locks out the accused from protection from this right. If this right were being followed properly, there would be little need for plea bargains, and excessive bail situations.

In fact, there is an absolute rewriting of the rules associated with bail, and plea bargains. There is complete collusion between lobbists and those in Congrss to guarantee that the Prisons are full, and that an industry of supporting bail related incomes for Judges and DA's thrive at the state level. It is WRONG that most legal cases result in Plea bargains instead of a Trial Jury by ones peers. It is wrong that Bail is set at an amount far greater than what one has in their bank savings and the value of their property... thus necessitating the need to use a Bail Bondsman.

However – as noted above – the austerity caused by redistribution of wealth to the super-elite is causing severe budget cuts to the courts, resulting in the wheels of justice slowing down considerably.

Eighth Amendment

The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Indefinite detention and assassination are obviously cruel and unusual punishment.

The widespread system of torture carried out in the last 10 years – with the help of other countries – violates the 8th Amendment. Many want to bring it back … or at least justify its past use.

While Justice Scalia disingenuously argues that torture does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment because it is meant to produce information – not punish – he’s wrong. It’s not only cruel and unusual … it is technically a form of terrorism.

And government whistleblowers are being cruelly and unusually punished with unduly harsh sentences meant to intimidate anyone else from speaking out.

Ninth Amendment

The 9th Amendment provides that people have other rights, even if they aren’t specifically listed in the Constitution:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

We can debate what our inherent rights as human beings are. I believe they include the right to a level playing field, and access to non-toxic food and water. You may disagree.

But everyone agrees that the government should not actively encourage fraud and manipulation. However, the government – through its malignant, symbiotic relation with big corporations – is interfering with our aspirations for economic freedom, safe food and water (instead of arsenic-laden, genetically engineered junk), freedom from undue health hazards such as irradiation due to government support of archaic nuclear power designs, and a level playing field (as opposed to our crony capitalist system in which the little guy has no shot due to redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the super-elite, and government support of white collar criminals).

By working hand-in-glove with giant corporations to defraud us into paying for a lower quality of life, the government is trampling our basic rights as human beings.

Tenth Amendment

The 10th Amendment provides that powers not specifically given to the Federal government are reserved to the states or individual:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Two of the central principles of America’s Founding Fathers are:

(1) The government is created and empowered with the consent of the people

and

(2) Separation of powers

Today, most Americans believe that the government is threatening – rather than protecting – freedom. We’ve become more afraid of our government than of terrorists, and believe that the government is no longer acting with the “consent of the governed“.

And the federal government is trampling the separation of powers by stepping on the toes of the states and the people. For example, former head S&L prosecutor Bill Black – now a professor of law and economics – notes:

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the resident examiners and regional staff of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency [both] competed to weaken federal regulation and aggressively used the preemption doctrine to try to prevent state investigations of and actions against fraudulent mortgage lenders.

Indeed, the federal government is doing everything it can to stick its nose into every aspect of our lives … and act like Big Brother.

Conclusion: While a few of the liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights still exist, the vast majority are under heavy assault.

Other Constitutional Provisions … and The Declaration of Independence

In addition to the trampling of the Bill of Rights, the government has also trashed the separation of powers enshrined in the main body of the Constitution.

The government is also engaging in activities which the Founding Fathers fought against, such as taxation without representation (here and here), cronyism, deference to central banks, etc.

As thethe preamble to the Declaration of Independence shows, the American government is still carrying out many of the acts the Founding Fathers found most offensive:

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. [Background]

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. [Background here, here and here]

***

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: [Background]

***

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences [Background]

***

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. [Background]

***

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. [Background here, here and here]

Oh America, what has happened to you? Why has it come to this? What is going on, and how can it change? I greatly lament what the country has become.

In the United States, it has become against the law to be secretive. To keep you private life secret and personal. It is not simply a general feeling that one has, it has become the LAW. Wearing masks in public will have you stopped by the police. Attaching devices to your face to obscure face-recognition devices is illegal. If you walk about, and are stopped by the police, and you do not have a phone, they will ask you why. They will want to know why you do not have a GPS enabled cell phone on you. This is not freedom.

In America you will be stopped for ANY reason what-so-ever. There will be an associative excuse, of course. "We were searching for drugs", "This is a DUI check-point", "This is a terror alert", "There is a Amber alert", "You are not from this neighborhood", "You are acting suspecious", "Your car inspecion sticker is out of date"... They are all just excuses. A free people are never questioned by the police. They are NEVER questioned by the police.

There is hope that things can be reversed. But the action to do so much come from within the government. It means that the players who operate the govenment must change. And, soon.

There are some positive signs...
There might be hope. Maybe. With every change, there are unexpected, associative changes that occur. This is most especially true with complex plans, organizations, and government policies. With the advent of the great Police State, and the policies and technologies to enforce it, comes a undertow-backlash. And this effect, may be but one of the symptoms of positive change to combat the victorian mindset relative to world domination, that the USA seems to be so hell-bent on inflicting...

"Yes, I believe it is in the nation's best interest to put all the phone records into a lockbox that we could search."

General Keith B. Alexander
Director of the NSA
September 2013

Despite an interminable series of embarrassing scandals, the US government just dig its heels in further.

If they get caught spying on world leaders, they say it was for national security. If they get caught spying on citizens, they say it's good for the nation. If they get hauled in front of Congress, they reject any idea of limiting their power.

There's not a single bit of remorse.

Just like central bankers who keep printing money at all costs, these security spooks truly believe that their actions are righteous... and effective. (Ironically, this out of touch, overzealous commitment to their cause is not dissimilar to the 'terrorists' they claim to be fighting.) And their actions only suggest a continued assault on our privacy.

But here's the thing-- and this is good news. They're not terribly competent.

How to fight the HUGE Spying machinery...
Sure, some of the smartest people in the world work at the NSA. But anytime you take smart guys and roll them into a government agency, you end up with a debilitating bureaucracy and humiliating blunders.

Case in point-- they didn't properly design their new Utah data center, which is supposed to have enough storage capacity to archive decades worth of Internet traffic.

But it turned out to be too much computing power for one building. So the facility has been suffering a series of electrical fires and explosions, culminating in arcs of flame shooting across the server rooms.

(They still don't understand the cause. But who cares, it's just taxpayer money that's being wasted...) The NSA's actions... and incompetence... is creating a sort of new war that will be waged online. It's a war pitting an authoritative, out-of-control government against savvy tech rebels who believe that privacy is a fundamental right.

And it's playing out like the radar detector electronic warfare did several decades ago.



The Radar-Detector story.
You remember when cops started using radar guns to check motorists' speed. Then other companies created radar detectors to alert drivers if there was a radar gun in the vicinity. Then the cops started using radar detector detectors. The technology kept improving, with each side trying to stay ahead of the other.

Then, of course, governments stepped in and passed laws prohibiting radar detectors.

But ultimately the private sector won. The ubiquity of smart phones and GPS devices means that motorists can alert each other to police activity through apps like Waze. The private sector is always going to win. The profit motive is very powerful. And now there are strong ethical reasons for doing so as well.

Central Government and planning has flaws.
The NSA's entire spy apparatus can be taken down by a handful of smart, nimble 20-year old kids and a killer software idea. You don't need much in the way of capital or resources to get started in software... which means the private sector can afford to be much more nimble than the government, which is enslaved by its slow-moving bureaucracy and committees.

This already appears to be in the works.



Just a few days ago, the founders of SilentMail and LavaBit, two secure email providers that voluntarily discontinued their operations rather than submit to becoming NSA stooges, announced a new partnership called the Dark Mail Alliance.

Their aim is to create a universal, secure, open source email platform with robust defenses against spying. And it will be cross-functional with just about ANY email provider, automatically creating peer-to-peer encryption via ephemeral secret keys. This is a great development in online privacy. And my bet is that the Dark Mail Alliance will be launched before the NSA can put the fires out at their new facility in Utah.

“Without accountability, America is finished. Not only will Americans live in a police state with no civil liberties, but the rest of the world is already looking at America with a jaundiced eye.

The US is being reconstituted as an authoritarian state.

All it takes is one failure of accountability for the police state to become entrenched, and we have had numerous failures of accountability. Does anyone really believe that some future government is going to make restitution to persecuted truth-tellers, such as Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowdon, as was done for Japanese Americans?”
— Paul Craig Roberts

Dean Acheson declared 51 years ago that power, position, and prestige are the ingredients of national security and that national security trumps law. In the United States democracy takes a back seat to “national security,” a prerogative of the executive branch of government.

National security is where the executive branch hides its crimes against law, both domestic and international, its crimes against the Constitution, its crimes against innocent citizens both at home and abroad, and its secret agendas that it knows that the American public would never support.

“National security” is the cloak that the executive branch uses to make certain that the US government is unaccountable.



Without accountable government there is no civil liberty and no democracy except for the sham voting that existed in the Soviet Union and now exists in the US.

There have been periods in US history, such as President Lincoln’s war to prevent secession, World War I, and World War II, when accountable government was impaired. These were short episodes of the Constitution’s violation, and the Constitution was reinstated in the aftermath of the wars. However, since the Clinton regime, the accountability of government has been declining for more than two decades, longer than the three wars combined.

In law there is the concept of adverse possession, popularly known as “squatters’ rights.” A non-owner who succeeds in occupying a piece of property or some one else’s right for a certain time without being evicted enjoys the ownership title conveyed to him. The reasoning is that by not defending his rights, the owner showed his disinterest and in effect gave his rights away.

Americans have not defended their rights conveyed by the US Constitution for the duration of the terms of three presidents. The Clinton regime was not held accountable for its illegal attack on Serbia. The Bush regime was not held accountable for its illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The Obama regime was not held accountable for its renewed attack on Afghanistan and its illegal attacks on Libya, Pakistan, and Yemen, and by its proxies on Syria.



We also have other strictly illegal and unconstitutional acts of government for which the government has not been held accountable. The Bush regimes’ acts of torture, indefinite detention, and warrantless spying, and the Obama regime’s acts of indefinite detention, warrantless spying, and murder of US citizens without due process. As the Obama regime lies through its teeth, we have no way of knowing whether torture is still practiced.

If these numerous criminal acts of the US government spread over the terms of three presidents pass into history as unchallenged events, the US government will have acquired squatters’ rights in lawlessness. The US Constitution will be, as President George W. Bush is reported to have declared, “a scrap of paper.”



Lawlessness is the hallmark of tyranny enforced by the police state. In a police state law is not a protector of rights but a weapon in the hands of government. [see Roberts & Stratton, The Tyranny of Good Intentions] The accused has no recourse to the accusation, which does not require evidence presented to a court. The accused is guilty by accusation alone and can be shot in the back of the head, as under Stalin, or blown up by a drone missile, as under Obama.

As a person aware of the long struggle against the tyrannical state, I have been amazed and disheartened by the acceptance not only by the insouciant American public, but also by law schools, bar associations, media, Congress and the Supreme Court of the executive branch’s claim to be above both law and the US Constitution.

As Lawrence Stratton and I show in our book about how the law was lost, liberals and conservatives chasing after their favorite devils, such as child abusers and drug pushers, and prosecutors, judges, and police devoted to conviction and not to justice, have gradually eroded over time the concept of law as a protection of the innocent, With the atmosphere of threat created by 9/11, the final destruction of the protective features of law was quickly achieved in the name of making us safe from terrorists.

The fact that we are no longer safe from our own government did not register.



This is how liberty was lost, and America with it.

Can liberty be regained? Probably not, but there is a chance if Americans have the necessary strength of character. The chance comes from the now known fact that the neoconservative Bush/Cheney regime took America and its puppet states to war in Afghanistan and Iraq entirely on the basis of lies. As all evidence proves, these wars were not the results of mistaken intelligence. They were the products of intentional lies.



The weapons inspectors told the Bush regime that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Despite this known fact, the Bush regime sent Secretary of State Colin Powell to the UN with fabricated evidence to convince the world that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction” and was a threat to the world. Even if such weapons had existed in Iraq, many countries have them, including the US and Israel, and the presence of weapons does not under the Nuremberg Laws justify unprovoked aggression against the possessor.

Under the Nuremberg Laws, unprovoked military aggression is a war crime, not the possession of weapons that many countries have. The war crime was committed by the US and its “coalition of the willing,” not by Saddam Hussein.

As for the invasion of Afghanistan, we know from the last video of Osama bin Laden in October 2001, attested by experts to be the last appearance of a man dying of renal failure and other diseases, that he declared that he had no responsibility for 9/11 and that Americans should look to their own government.

We know as a reported fact that the Afghan Taliban offered to turn over Osama bin Laden to Washington if the Bush regime would provide the evidence that indicated bin Laden was responsible. The Bush regime refused to hand over the (non-existent) evidence and, with support of the corrupt and cowardly Congress and the presstitute media, attacked Afghanistan without any legal justification. Remember, the FBI has stated publicly that it has no evidence that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 and that that is why the crimes for which the FBI wanted bin Laden did not include responsibility for the 9/11 attack.



The war propaganda campaign was well prepared. Yellow ribbon decals were handed out for cars proclaiming “support the troops.” In other words, anyone who raises the obvious questions is not supporting the troops. Still today insouciant Americans sport these decals on their cars unaware that what they are supporting are the murder of foreign women, children and village elders, the death and physical and mental maiming of American soldiers, and the worldwide destruction of the reputation of the United States, with America’s main rival, China, now calling for a “de-Americanized world.”

A country with a population as insouciant as Americans is a country in which the government can do as it pleases.



Now that we have complete proof that the criminal Bush regime took our country to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq solely on the basis of intentional lies. Now, how can the legal institutions, the courts, the American people possibly tolerate the Obama regime’s ignoring of the obvious crimes of the Bush administration? How can America simply accept Obama’s statement that we mustn’t look back, only move ahead?

If the US government, which has committed the worst crimes of our generation, cannot be held accountable and punished, how can federal, state, and local courts fill up American prisons with people who smoked pot, people who downloaded some illegal movies, people who modified their cellphones and with people who did not sufficiently grovel before the police state.



Doubtless, the Obama regime, should it obey the law and prosecute the Bush regime’s crimes, would then have to worry about being prosecuted for its own crimes. It's own crimes which are just as terrible, if not worse...

Nevertheless, I believe that the Obama regime could survive if it put all the blame on the Bush regime, prosecuted the Bush criminals, and desisted from the illegal actions that it currently supports. This would save the Constitution and US civil liberty, but it would require the White House to take the risk that by enforcing US law, US law might be enforced against its own illegal and unconstitutional acts by a succeeding regime.

The Bush/Cheney/John Yoo neoconservative regime having got rid of US law so successfully has embolded all subsequent presidents. No doubt the Obama regime thinks it is best to leave the situation as it is, rid of the rule of law.



Without accountability, America is finished.

Not only will Americans live in a police state with no civil liberties, but the rest of the world is already looking at America with a jaundiced eye. The US is being reconstituted as an authoritarian state. All it takes is one failure of accountability for the police state to become entrenched, and we have had numerous failures of accountability.

Does anyone really believe that some future government is going to make restitution to persecuted truth-tellers, such as Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowdon, as was done for Japanese Americans? Of course not. These people are threats to a authoritarian state.

Now that we know for a certain fact that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were based on propaganda and lies. Congress and the world media should demand to know what was the real secret agenda. What were the real reasons for which Afghanistan and Iraq were invaded? Because we know now that the story promoted by the Whitehouse was a fabricated lie.

No truthful explanation for these wars exist.


Paul O’Neill, the Bush regime’s first Treasury Secretary, is on public record stating an amazing fact. He stated that at the very first cabinet meeting, after the Clintons left the Whitehouse, the president's agenda was for a US attack on Iraq. It was his foremost agenda item. This was long before the 9/11 terror attack.

In other words, the Bush regime’s attack on Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with the 9/11 terror attack.



What was the Bush regime’s secret agenda? The one still kept secret by the Obama regime? The one that required an illegal, war criminal, attack on a sovereign country, which was an action for which officials of Hitler’s government were executed? What is the real purpose of Washington’s wars?

It is totally and completely obvious that the wars have nothing to do with protecting Americans from terrorism. If anything, the wars stir up and create terrorists. The wars create hatred of America that never previously existed. Despite this, America is free of terrorists attacks except for the ones orchestrated by the FBI. What the fabricated “terror threat” has done is to create a thorough-going domestic police state that is unaccountable.



Americans need to understand that they have lost their country.

The rest of the world needs to recognize that Washington is not merely the most complete police state since Stalinism, but also a threat to the entire world. The hubris and arrogance of Washington, combined with Washington’s huge supply of weapons of mass destruction, make Washington the greatest threat that has ever existed to all life on the planet. Washington is the enemy of all humanity.

“A new iron curtain is descending. It covers a million streets and hundreds of millions of people. Its shadow passes over stores, factories, homes and schools. It is not a physical wall. As yet, no border guards with rifles wait to shoot those wanting to leave. There are no watchtowers or leashed dogs keeping an eye on the inner frontier. It is a Wall of Words - a wall of laws, regulations, mandates. The American iron curtain is made of paper, but in time it will be made out of cement and iron.”
— Daniel Greenfield (via timlebsack)

The Bill of Rights is GONE.
One of the most extraordinary documents in human history -- the Bill of Rights -- has come to an end under President Barack Obama. Derived from sacred principles of natural law, the Bill of Rights has come to a sudden and catastrophic end with the President's signing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a law that grants the U.S. military the "legal" right to conduct secret kidnappings of U.S. citizens, followed by indefinite detention, interrogation, torture and even murder. This is all conducted completely outside the protection of law, with no jury, no trial, no legal representation and not even any requirement that the government produce evidence against the accused.

It is a system of outright government tyranny against the American people, and it effectively nullifies the Bill of Rights.

In what will be remembered as the most traitorous executive signing ever committed against the American people, President Obama signed the bill on New Year's Eve, a time when most Americans were engaged in the consumption of alcohol. It seems appropriate, of course, since no intelligent American could accept the tyranny of this bill if they were sober.

This is the law that will cement Obama's legacy in the history books as the traitor who nullified the Bill of Rights and paved America's pathway down a road of tyranny that will make Nazi Germany's war crimes look like child's play. If Bush had signed a law like this, liberals would have been screaming "impeachment!"

Why the Bill of Rights matters
While the U.S. Constitution already limits the power of federal government, the Bill of Rights is the document that enumerates even more limits of federal government power. In its inception, many argued that a Bill of Rights was completely unnecessary because, they explained, the federal government only has the powers specifically enumerated to it under the U.S. Constitution. There was no need to have a "First Amendment" to protect Free Speech, for example, because there was no power granted to government to diminish Free Speech.

This seems silly today, of course, given the natural tendency of all governments to concentrate power in the hands of the few while destroying the rights and freedoms of their own people. But in the 1780's, whether government could ever become a threat to future freedoms was hotly debated. By 1789, enough revolutionary leaders had agreed on the fundamental principles of a Bill of Rights to sign it into law.

Its purpose was to provide additional clarifications on the limitation of government power so that there could be absolutely no question that government could NEVER, under any circumstances, violate these key principles of freedom: Freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom from illegal searches, the right to remain silent, the right to due process under law, and so on.

Of course, today's runaway federal government utterly ignores the limitations placed on it by the founding fathers. It aggressively and criminally seeks to expand its power at all costs, completely ignoring the Bill of Rights and openly violating the limitations of power placed upon it by the United States Constitution.



The TSA's illegal searching of air travelers, for example, is a blatant violation of Fourth Amendment rights. The government's hijacking of websites it claims are linking to "copyright infringement" hubs is a blatant violation of First Amendment rights. The government's demand that all Americans be forced to buy private health insurance is a blatant violation of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution -- the "commerce clause."

Now, with the passage of the NDAA, the federal government has torpedoed the entire Bill of Rights, dismissing it completely and effectively promising to violate those rights at will. As of January 1, 2012, we have all been designated enemies of the state. America is the new battleground, and your "right" to due process is null and void.

Remember, this was all done by the very President who promised to close Guantanamo Bay and end secret military prisons. Not only did Obama break that campaign promise (as he has done with nearly ALL his campaign promises), he did exactly the opposite and has now subjected all Americans to the possibility of government-sponsored kidnapping, detainment and torture, all under the very system of secret military prisons he claimed he would close!

"President Obama’s action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law," said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Obama's signing statement means nothing
Even while committing an act of pure treason in signing the bill, the unindicted criminal President Obama issued a signing statement that reads, in part,

"...Moving forward, my administration will interpret and implement the provisions described below in a manner that best preserves the flexibility on which our safety depends and upholds the values on which this country was founded..."

Anyone who reads between the lines here realizes the "the flexibility on which our safety depends" means they can interpret the law in any way they want if there is a sufficient amount of fear being created through false flag terror attacks. Astute readers will also notice that Obama's signing statement has no legal binding whatsoever and only refers to Obama's momentary intentions on how he "wishes" to interpret the law. It does not place any limits whatsoever on how a future President might use the law as written.



"The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield," says the ACLU.

What this means is that the next President could use this law to engage in the most horrific holocaust-scale mass round-up of people the world has ever seen. The NDAA legalizes the crimes of Nazi Germany in America, setting the stage for the mass murder of citizens by a rogue government.

The United States of America has become a rogue nation, operating in violation of international law



Furthermore, the NDAA law as written and signed, is a violation of international law as it does not even adhere to the fundamental agreements of how nations treat prisoners of war:

"...the breadth of the NDAA’s detention authority violates international law because it is not limited to people captured in the context of an actual armed conflict as required by the laws of war" says the ACLU.

In 1789, today's NDAA law would have been called "treasonous," and those who voted for it would have been shot dead as traitors. This is not a call for violence, but rather an attempt to provide historical context of just how destructive this law really is. Men and women fought and died for the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. People sacrificed their lives, their safety and risked everything to achieve the freedoms that made America such a great nation. For one President to so callously throw away 222 years of liberty, betraying those great Americans who painstakingly created an extraordinary document limiting the power of government, is equivalent to driving a stake through the heart of the Republic.



In signing this, Obama has proven himself to be the most criminal of all U.S. Presidents, far worse than George W. Bush and a total traitor to the nation and its People. Remember, Obama swore upon a Bible that he would "protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic," and yet he himself has become the enemy of the Constitution by signing a law that overtly and callously nullifies the Bill of Rights.

This is nothing less than an act of war declared on the American people by the executive and legislative branches of government. It remains to be seen whether the judicial branch will go along with it (US Supreme Court).

Origins of the Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights, signed in 1789 by many of the founding fathers of our nation, was based on the Virginia Declaration of Rights, drafted in 1776 and authored largely by George Mason, one of the least-recognized revolutionaries who gave rise to a nation of freedom and liberty.

Mason was a strong advocate of not just states' rights, but of individual rights, and without his influence in 1789, we might not even have a Bill of Rights today (and our nation would have slipped into total government tyranny all the sooner). In fact, he openly opposed ratification of the U.S. Constitution unless it contained a series of amendments now known as the Bill of Rights .

SECTION ONE of this Virginia declaration of rights states:

That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."(http://www.constitution.org/bcp/virg_dor.htm)

(http://www.constitution.org/bcp/virg_dor.htm) Section Three of the declaration speaks to the duty of the Citizens to abolish abusive government:

"That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration; and that, when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal."

By any honest measure, today's U.S. government, of course, has overstepped the bounds of its original intent. As Mason wrote over 200 years ago, the People of America now have not merely a right but a duty to "reform, alter or abolish it," to bring government back into alignment with its original purpose -- to protect the rights of the People.

The illusion of choice. Only ten companies control 95% of everything that you buy in a grocery store. It is all an illusion.

Obama violates his Presidential Oath, sworn before God
Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution spells out the oath of office that every President must take during their swearing in:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

In signing the NDAA law into office, Obama has blatantly and unambiguously violated this sacred oath, meaning that his betrayal is not merely against the American people, but also against the Divine Creator.



Given that the Bill of Rights is an extension of Natural Law which establishes a direct heritage of sovereign power from the Creator to the People, a blatant attack upon the Bill of Rights is, by any account, an attack against the Creator and a violation of universal spiritual principles. Those who attempt to undermine the Bill of Rights are attempting to invalidate the relationship between God and Man, and in doing so, they are identifying themselves as enemies of God and agents of Evil.

Today, we are now a nation led by evil, and threatened with total destruction by those who would seek to rule as tyrants. This is America's final hour. We either defend the Republic starting right now, or we lose it forever.

The U.S. government has just declared all Americans to be "enemy combatants," and that the USA is now a "battleground" over which the military has total control. We are now a nation living under military dictatorship, whether you realize it or not.

Alternatives to GOOGLE

Just recently, Google updated its terms of use and privacy policy. The goal was to allow Google to use your name and public photo in “Shared Endorsements.” In plain English, it wants to use you in ads. So, if you like or “+1″ something on Google+, for example, Google can show your friends that you recommend it if it pops up their searches. I’m sure Google can expand that in the future to the channels you subscribe to on YouTube or music and apps you buy in Google Play.

To Google’s credit, you can opt out — if you know where to look. Head over to the Shared Endorsements page, sign in with your Google account and make sure the option at the bottom is not checked. Still, it’s a reminder where Google’s focus is. It’s keeping track of what you do so it can use that information in advertising. And don’t forget that your information is one subpoena away from ending up in a government database.

But it’s not like there’s a better alternative for search, right? Bing and Yahoo do the same thing. That’s true, but those aren’t the only alternative search sites around. Here are some that do the job and take your privacy seriously. Take a look at DuckDuckGo . Though it’s similar to Google, it doesn’t collect any information about you when you search. It matches Google Search in features and performance with a similar simple layout. Its “Goodies” features offer geographic search, calculators and more. You could literally spend hours checking out DuckDuckGo’s cool features.

Maybe there’s just one feature about Google’s search you really can’t live without, though. In most cases, you can find search sites tailored to that feature. Wolfram Alpha , for example, runs circles around Google when it comes to research and calculations. Just type in a question and it can usually figure out what you mean. You can even upload images to get more information about them.

For quick answers, Blekko is usually easier to use than Google. Instead of returning advertisers and other iffy results first, it sends you links that actually answer your question. The links are even broken down into categories, such as Top results, Shopping and Latest. You can expand a category to see more of just what you want. Blekko is more private than Google in normal mode. However, I recommend you use its “SuperPrivacy” mode for maximum privacy. This blocks ads and takes you to secure, encrypted sites by default. You can turn it on by clicking “Prefs” in the right corner of the site.

If you like how quickly Blekko gives results, you can try IxQuick, too. It encrypts your search for privacy while giving you pre-approved results from other top search sites for a faster answer. You can rate results to help other searchers find what they’re looking for faster, too. Are you concerned about search results showing up with inappropriate content? It happens quite a bit, and — thanks to Murphy’s Law — usually when a child is present.Yippy detects adult content and blocks it automatically. That makes it great for the family computer.

Taxes
I could write pages and pages on American taxes. I could show you how outrageous it is, and how they truly compare with the rest of the world. I could show you that, in general, taxes are but one way to collect revenue... but not the only, nor the best way. I could show you how many 'hidden' and 'secretive' taxes [1] [2] [3] [4] [-5-] [6] [7] [8] exist in the United States...

You would either believe me, or you won't. So, why waste my time. Suffice it to say that the United States is wholly out of control with the concept of taxiation. I contend that the 16th amendment authorizing taxiation was improperly ratified [9] [10] [-11-] [12] [13] , and done so under the guise of the lifting of prohibition. I contend that every time YOUR money is taken from you or your employer (on your behalf) is also taxiation. I contend that the bulk reason for the huge costs for the basic necessities of life are due to the additional taxes and levies placed upon them by the govenment.

I also contend that the clearest way to see the effect of the increased tax burden on people is to compare the data for savings and investments for typical Americans. THe two charts are linked together in a frightening way. They are inversely proportional. In fact, since the Democrats and their economic advisors believe that raising taxes increase prosperity, that they are illiterate when it comes to reading raw data and charts.

many people on Tumblr are young and have not yet entered the work force. Therefore they do not understand taxes, nor taxiation. I once asked a boy how much taxes does he think the government takes out of a $100 paycheck. He said "Oh, maybe $2". That is how out of touch many on Tumblr are with reality. The USA takes about $80 out of every $100 paycheck. Oh... not directly mind you. It's all in bites and pieces. Many hidden taxes, delayed taxes, and surprise taxes... oh, he'll find out. Yessur... he most certainlky will.

Death of the American Dream
We live today in slavery. Most of us aren’t even aware of the subtlety of the situation. We are slaves of consumption, slaves of debt, slaves of possessions.

Children are told to go to college, get a good job, earn money, and spend money, saving for retirement. Every fiscal action within this empty so-called capitalist society is meant to further tighten the chains around the neck of the common man and woman. Intelligence is looked upon with contempt, a concern for the well-being of others is seen as suspicious, and conformity is the golden rule.

Our rights have been systematically destroyed, sometimes quietly, sometimes very publicly. Everything is a criminal act, enforced by an ever-increasing militarization of the police force. When we were in school, we were taught about the horrors that occurred in other countries- a pervasive police or military force bent on punishing those who speak out or act out against the government. Those people in America were at one time called patriots. Today, those same people are “radicals.”

America is not a nation by the people, for the people. It is a nation by the corporations for profit, with no regard to the rights of the workers on which those corporations so carelessly tread. When a person faces fines in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for downloading music, while white collar crime is punished by a slap on the wrist, it is easy to see for whom the law works for. Lobbyists spend billions of dollars stuffing the pockets of our government, who in turn churns out law after law protecting special interest industries at the expense of every working-class person.

Education for education’s sake is taboo. Why bother going to college for a degree that one can’t use? Why bother going to college at all? So you can drown in debt when you enter the job market and find out that no one’s willing to pay you a living wage? So you have a piece of paper that shows you’re able to be trained?

We are in the bondage of a consumption-at-all-costs lifestyle. Credit cards, mortgages, student loans, car payments, insurance, internet access, cell phone, food, clothes, electricity, water. On and on. Living paycheck to paycheck is not living, it’s surviving.

When you turn on the news and see that it’s nothing more than who’s dating who and the latest Hollywood controversy, while wars rage both in America and around the world, you are being conditioned to care about the shallow, the mundane, the boring.

The government, as a whole, does not care about you. The government believes that if it ceased to exist, so would humanity. In this sense, I agree with them, as we live in a nation of selfish, self-seeking, self-important individuals who frown upon charity while not considering what it’s like to be in the shoes of another, even for a brief moment. There is not empathy. Our society is a greed-driven, sociopathic state which values the money in a person’s bank account more than the value of that individual’s contribution to society.



We send soldiers around the world to fight the ghosts of imagined enemies, bankrupting the nation while killing the bravest of our nation’s youth. We fall into the farce of religion, promising that dead soldiers go to heaven, while somehow thinking that Islamic terrorists’ 72 virgins is somehow any more ridiculous than our own vision of the afterlife. Children are vacuumed directly out of school and onto the front line, with promises of college tuition dangled in front of them like a carrot on a string. That’s a fairly strong endorsement for the inelasticity of demand for a college education- people are willing to put their lives at risk to learn, killing others for a better life for themselves.

Nothing changes. Although the party names may differ, their goals are the same- control the populace and condemn any who stand up against the corrupt and criminal acts of those in power. Criminalize those who leak information about the government’s own criminal endeavors. Call them treasonous, call for their heads, and make sure the people think it’s in their best interest for the government to trample upon inalienable rights under the guise of national security, that it’s somehow better that there is no transparency.

Just because something is legal does not make it moral, and just because something is illegal does not make it immoral. Exposing the criminal acts of a government isn’t treason; it is one’s duty to bring the truth to light, no matter how ugly.

Let Your Life Be a Friction to Stop the Machine
Nightmare and insanity are akin: mysterious and involuntary states that skew and distort objective reality. One wakens from nightmare; from insanity there is no awakening. Whether Americans live in the one state or the other is the paramount question of this era.

For two hundred years Americans have been indoctrinated with a mythology created, imposed and sustained by a manipulating cabal: the financial elite that built its absolute control on the muscle and blood, good will, ignorance and credulity, of its citizenry.



America began with the invasion of a populated continent and the genocide of its native people. Once solidly established, it grafted enslavement of another race onto that base. With those two pillars of state firmly in place it declared itself an independent nation in a document that nobly proclaimed the equality of all mankind. In that act of monumental hypocrisy America’s myth had its beginning.

The Constitution: A Constitution was written that came to be regarded as American Holy Writ. Its central purposes were to defend private property and suppress mass democracy. It has fulfilled both those mandates beyond the wildest dreams of its creators.

Once the existing oligarchy was secure in law and native people largely exterminated, the ruling class increased its wealth and power fantastically in the 19th century, using the government as its enabler, exploiting to the limit the device of chartered corporations. With its phenomenal money power, the financial elite began to use the military to expand its sway beyond the continent. Regions, territories, islands, and whole countries were annexed, invaded, and possessed outright, their peoples crushed, suppressed, and ruled.

Because ordinary Americans, like any people, need to believe that whatever the ruling elite undertakes in their nation’s name must be essentially benevolent, noble in purpose and justified in fact, the myth had to be radically modified for imperial expansion.

The Fiction: The foundational story was that Americans had come to a howling wilderness teeming with godless savages and, through invincible strength of character and purity of purpose, had tamed the land and honorably earned the right to possess their bountiful home.

In the era of extra-territorial expansion that version was polished to justify and ennoble imperialism. The new corollary was that America could not ignore colonialist brutality but was obliged, by the Manifest Destiny that led us to civilize our own continent, to carry our mission into barbaric darkness wherever tyranny created abuse and suffering. A national myth that absolutely binds the loyalty of a people to its government must be a subtle and powerful elixir that elevates and aggrandizes that people’s self-regard. National policy will then appear to be an extension of its superior citizenry’s inchoate will, and the basis for a justified arrogance toward the lesser world.



The simple, powerful myth of America’s altruistic and heroic benevolence, shaped and maintained by the financial/political power elite, infused Americans with a deep and outrageously hubristic sense of racial superiority that, mobilized behind various imperial enterprises, has given all such adventures the character of a quasi-religious crusade. In this way insatiable imperialism acquires the apparent moral perfection of a syllogism.

Post Nuclear Pain: With WWII, the world was reconfigured. American Capitalism emerged supreme from the horror that had virtually wrecked its capitalist partners. The Soviet Union, though, having absorbed by far the greatest devastation from Nazi Germany, had astonishingly risen above its ruin to become the leading challenger to America as a world power.

This challenge was not competitive, it was systemic: Soviet Communism was a direct threat to American hegemony in that it categorically refuted the philosophical basis of Predatory Capitalism. Grounded in Marx and Lenin, it attacked Capitalism’s inherent evils, monstrous inequities and flagrant injustices that, exacerbated by speculation, exploitation and fraud, would destroy it. And it promoted world revolution to that end.

This face-off of giants in the Cold War necessitated further refinement of the American myth. Now, instead of simply intervening in situations where despotism or tyranny required America to forcefully implant our just and ethical democracy, America had to become the shield and bulwark of the sacred capitalist system in which “free enterprise” was magically and increasingly identified with democracy and equally to be defended.

This version prevailed through many surrogate confrontations around the globe in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction and survived even the debacle of Vietnam, lasting until the collapse of the Soviet Union, as the propaganda stream became ever more intense and pervasive. On radio and television Americans were subjected to an unrelenting barrage of hyper-patriotism in which American moral superiority was a given, and America’s self-touted courage, generosity and decency were its unchallengeable proofs.

The fall of the USSR: The implosion of the Soviet Union left America, in its own terminology, the “Sole Superpower in a Unipolar World”. This, however, did not result in diminution of the myth. The practical effect of having no doomsday enemy--China couldn’t plausibly be cast in that role then--was to supercharge it by increasing its element of pure, hubristic ego. America was no longer just called upon to defend the “Free World” from monstrous heresy; it was now, by virtue of its universally acknowledged, beatific “exceptionalism”, required to oversee and police it in the interests, and for the benefit, of lesser nations.

“Power corrupts”, said Lord Mahan, “and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”



When the only rival and counterweight to American power disintegrated... there was a sense... A sence within the American power elite that an opportunity existed. A great opportunity. A fantastic opportunity. And that, for the first time in history, for only one country to absolutely and truly dominate and effectively control the entire world.

This consensus was expressed in a policy statement. This statement was composed by a cadre of major right-wing political players of the time. They represented massive corporate capitalist interests. And they called themselves the "Project for a New American Century". This triumphalist manifesto of theirs, laid out a plan for absolute American access and control of essential resources and raw materials worldwide. In their plan, and critical to it, was the guarantee by the USA military which would enforce their desires. This enforcement would include Full Spectrum Dominance.

The Real American Myth:The American Myth. This myth of "American Exceptionalism" had seemed to have lost momentum and its animating principle in the totally unexpected so-called Cold War “victory”, was now re-energized. However, with a less defensive and reactive essence, and given the glowing radiance and patina of a true and, for the first time, self-professed and articulated, imperial mission.

The attack on the Towers, an unimaginable provocation, was the trigger mechanism for the explosive launch of the effort to impose that imperial model in practice on the world. Yes. Make no mistake, the 911 attack has been the justification for global tyranny and the American police-state.

It has been without question the most spectacular failure in the history of American misadventure.

After a decade marked by the waste of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives... After the stunning bankruptcy of our internally burglarized nation... After a consequent recession more fundamentally damaging than the Great One... Imperial America has nothing to show for the botched folly of its arrogant overreach. It has only to present to the globe the unequivocal disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, with no end to this madness in sight.

Americans are the victims of their Mythology: An impartial observer would have to say that the hypnotic hold of the American Myth has been due to the loyalty of the people. But, this misplaced loyalty has led only to disgrace and disaster, and set a direct course to inevitable imperial decline and ruin. That would be inarguable on any rational basis. However, this view entirely mistakes the motive for, and the purpose of, the myth. The American Myth was never intended to serve the interests of the people. Nor of our country or of our people. Instead, it was created solely to buttress, shield, and exalt the ruling financial class. It has done that with astonishing and unbroken success that staggers the imagination from our earliest days.

The massive looting of Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan war funding to enrich the Corporate Tyranny—for that is what it has become—is on an unique scale of its own, without anything remotely comparable to its flagrant obscenity in the whole long history of war.

Wholesale Robbery: Neither the Pentagon nor any branch of the U.S. government can give any accounting whatever of the many billions of tax-generated dollars that have vanished, evaporated. There is no doubt but that beyond the outrageously inflated, no-bid contracts handed to giant corporate favorites with their preposterous guaranteed profits, much of the money was simply stolen in bulk by, through, or in spite of the military, and distributed among thieves and accomplices, some of it on huge pallets… for convenience, presumably. (As an aside, this wholescale theft is very obvious to anyone who visits these occupied counties and sees with their own eyes what is going on. It is a true horror!)

While this wholesale robbery was going on under the oversight of the military abroad, the Corporate Tyranny had evolved a whole set of impenetrably complex devices concerning money. These devices called for the generation of money without any economically productive source or result at home.

Profit: The sole driving force and purpose of Capitalism is the realization of profit. According to that calculus, reducing production costs increases profit margin. This leads to the obvious conclusion that as production costs near zero, profit is maximized.

There is no provision for social good in Capitalist theory. Corporations, created to optimize business opportunity through efficient specialization, were originally required to operate for public benefit but that provision was quickly finessed and forgotten.

American law courts have always favored corporate concentrations of wealth since they, like the Congress, exist to serve the moneyed interests. The American Myth was created to provide cover for the financial oligarchy to exploit the country and the citizenry, and the judiciary has consistently cooperated in ruling for corporations against the people.

One signifigant Problem: Indeed, without ever considering the question in law, the Supreme Court long ago endowed corporations with “personhood”, that is with all rights of human beings under our Constitution. The way this travesty occurred--the slipshod by-product of an obliquely related case--shows that the court preferred to incorporate this perversion. And in so doing perverted the plain intent of the 14th amendment as an unexamined assumption. They did this rather than risk an eventual test which would unquestionably have created violent public outrage.



Given the collusion of Congress and the courts in securing legal invulnerability for the Corporate Tyranny and the principle that the only duty of corporations is maximization of profit, it was not surprising that megabanks, huge brokerage houses, giant insurance conglomerates, gilded hedge funds and the credit agencies pretending to certify their work, all engaged in massive and systemic fraud and deception for just that purpose. The result was the crash of ’08, the recession, and the stunning and unprecedented rescue and bailout of the biggest banks, investment houses, and insurance and credit conglomerates with taxpayer dollars. So much for the hallowed Invisible Hand of the Free Market…

Megatrends: The last decades have seen two related megatrends in American geopolitical mechanics, both with dire effects on the power of the American Myth. First, what belief the world at large had in it has been shattered by a catastrophic series of imbecile and irretrievable military failures and disasters, which has caused erosion of its efficacy at home. Second, in response to this, the State has made increasingly crude efforts to boost the Myth’s waning power by the imposition of totalitarian methods of surveillance, intimidation and coercion on the American people to a degree unprecedented in scope and scale.

The whole clanking, medieval apparatus of Homeland Security that has sprouted like an enormous poison fungus since 9/11 with its brutal police state mindset; the odious Patriot Act with its flagrant subversions of the Bill of Rights; the endless, fantasy-based terror-peddling of the prostitute corporate media with its clowns and harpies churning irrational fear and anger in the uninformed: all this grim, repressive endeavor is a concerted attempt to distract Americans from the real causes of their injury, abuse, and oppression.

The myth, shattered, but not destroyed: And yet, even with the American Myth now totally and irreparably blown full of holes and exposed demonstrably for the tissue of lies, deceptions and frauds that it has always been, it somehow keeps its phenomenal hold on the great mass of the American people. The tragic reality is that, for the majority, their own identities have been so deeply and thoroughly infused with the myth that to disbelieve it is to disbelieve in themselves.

So the American Myth is dead, and yet it lives on in its deadness, horribly masking our crapshot economy, our bankrupt debtors prison of a society, our Ghost Dance charade of kabuki democracy, while typhoons of impending social, economic and ecological disaster build their enormous, lightning-charged thunderheads above the dark future before us.



And what is it that the dead Myth still imperfectly obscures for Americans? What is outside and beyond the opaque wall of faltering, failing dishonesty and deception? What is the horror that the shoddy, tattered Myth has so long and so effectively concealed?

It is the world that has suffered unrelieved exploitation by the violence of our imperialist mania. It is the many wrecked and pillaged economies financially looted by our imposed predatory capitalist austerity regimes. It is the teeming hundreds of millions of starved, deprived and dying children sacrificed to Wall Street commodities gaming. It is the multitudes of humble, innocent, ignorant people, barely surviving in absolutist and dictatorial regimes propped up in their barbaric cruelty by our military while our banks siphon off the profits left after arming their brutal police and armies and bribing their ruling Kings, Sheikhs or Generals. It is the millions of dead and maimed in the raped populations of simple tribal people whom our indiscriminately murderous juggernaut has left in its bloody wake in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. It is the appalling legacy of hate and repulsion, disdain and fear, that America has earned with its appalling hegemonist villainy in every corner of the world.

The true loss for Americans: And at home, what is it we Americans have been so complicit in hiding from ourselves in our devotion to the perverse legend that has come to inhabit our souls like a succubus?

It is the millions of us with no work and no hope in middle age whose jobs and homes have been devoured by the heartless fraud machine of Wall Street. It is the trashed and demolished weedlots of our major cities eroding in crumbling, fire-gutted ruin. It is the many towns and cities with industries shut down and factories deserted or dismantled and shipped overseas. It is our decaying, disintegrating public schools, our bankrupt states and counties, our overtaxed, antiquated public transportation systems, our obsolete, dissolving infrastructure, our bloated, irrational prisons complex, our punishing and inadequate health care disaster, and over it all, the repressive mechanism of our police state, armed and empowered, ready for use against the American people themselves.

Today. Now. Right here: This is where we are. The great question now is whether we as a nation can awaken from this long historic nightmare and face the terrifying and exhilarating prospect of living in the full light of reality without the false props and dishonest constructs of a hoodwinked, herded and dishonored people or, whether we have internalized the falsity and disease to such an extent that it has become an organic, overmastering form of insanity?

In 1846, Henry David Thoreau, offended to his soul by the injustice of the American government’s invasion of Mexico, protested it and went to jail for his convictions. Later, in his essay On Civil Disobedience, he said this:

“If injustice is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.”

To attempt to break the hold of the American Myth will be a titanic, daunting challenge. To even begin to openly rebel against the might of the National Security State will require the courage to face much more than official disapproval and denunciation. Imperial America will not respond to even the most peaceful and orderly protest with anything less than hard police repression and the level of punishment will rise in relation to the scope and seriousness of the action undertaken.



Small protests won't work: Small protests will have no effect and will be meaningless. Organized mass events, when they occur, will draw the whole fiercely and brutally motivated National Security State apparatus down upon themselves. Americans, excepting those of our underclass who have felt it, have no experience with violent police or military repression. Those who commit peaceful civil disobedience, a first and innocent tactic of serious protest, will swiftly find out to their cost how it works. In a National Security State that has excised and eradicated all defensive laws and regulations intended to prevent abuse of the public, whatever the State does is legal. To such a pass have we in America come as a result of our long historic indoctrination in serving our financial elite, our Ruling Class.

To achieve any redemption for Americans, to make possible any more just, humane and life-honoring society, will require complete abandonment of the system of Predatory Capitalism. If offers no prospect of reform or improvement and we have all been witness to the idiocy of the so-called “democratic process” in action for generations now.



America is nearing the greatest crisis point in its history and the terrific cataclysm, when it happens, will determine the future our country is to have. If we cannot, in dominating numbers, rise to reject the heartless, mindless, soulless machine of Imperial Predatory Capitalism, we will be condemned to a fascistic command and control horror in which human beings are mere possessions of the State, units of production or service, and then perhaps not even that, as excess population in that brave, new world nay be eliminated.

That end is not inevitable. We are not lost. We are not even defeated because to this moment we have not engaged. We have not honored our responsibility as human beings. We have not risen to defend our humanity. We have let ourselves be ruled.

Global displeasure: All around the world the thunder of vast and immeasurable discontent can be heard and felt. In Egypt and Spain, Jordan and Greece, Iraq and Sudan, Afghanistan and Ireland, Latin America, the Far East and Africa, the legitimate anger of humanity is expressing itself against the dead and killing hand of Predatory Capitalism and its agencies of violence. And here, in America, so long trapped and encapsulated, frozen like a fly in amber in a false religion of state idolatry, the anger is deep, widespread, and growing.

It is up to those who know and care to lead. As Thomas Paine said, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Nothing is guaranteed us. That can’t matter. We cannot be concerned with odds or outcomes. We cannot let the Machine of Injustice grind on. We must oppose it with all the moral force we own. We must act with quiet courage to confront a vicious tyrannical system that is destroying the earth, its life, and its people. We must put our lives on the line to oppose it.

The Nightmare Machine of rapacious exploitation has overthrown humanity’s decency and reason and its bloody inhuman treason flourishes over us. This must be ended.

Let your life be a friction now to stop the Machine.

What If Democracy Is Bunk?
by Judge Andrew Napolitano

What if you are only allowed to vote because it doesn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you vote, the elites get to have it their way? What if “one person, one vote” is just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance? What if democracy is dangerous to personal freedom? What if democracy erodes the people’s understanding of natural rights and the foundations of government, and instead turns elections into beauty contests?

What if democracy allows the government to do anything it wants, as long as more people bother to show up at the voting booth to support it than to oppose it? What if the purpose of democracy is to convince people that they could prosper not through the creation of wealth but through theft from others? What if the only moral way to acquire wealth – aside from inheritance – is through voluntary economic activity? What if the government persuaded you that you could acquire wealth through political activity? What if economic activity included all the productive and peaceful things we do? What if political activity included all the parasitical and destructive things the government does?

What if governments were originally established to protect people’s freedom, but always turn into political and imperialist enterprises that seek to expand their power, increase their territory and heighten their control of the population? What if the idea that we need a government to take care of us is actually a fiction? What if our strength as individuals and durability as a culture are contingent not on the strength of the government but on the amount of freedom we have from the government?

What if we’re seeing civil unrest around the world precisely because government is out of control? What if the cocktail of big government and democracy brings dependence and destruction? What if big government destroys people’s motivations and democracy convinces them that the only motivation they need is to vote and go along with whatever the government does?

What if the Republican primaries we’re seeing unfold aren’t actually as democratic as they may appear to be? What if the results you have seen from the states that have voted thus far don’t match the composition of the delegates those states send to the Tampa convention this summer because the polls aren’t what counts, but what counts are the secret meetings that come after the voting? What if Joe Stalin was right when he said the most powerful person in the world is the guy who counts the votes?

What if the greatest tyrant in history lives among us? What if that tyrant always gets its way, no matter what the laws are or what the Constitution says? What if that tyrant is the majority of voters? What if the tyranny of the majority in a democracy recognizes no limits on its power?

What if the government misinforms voters so as to justify anything the government wants to do? What if the government bribes people with the money it prints? What if it gives entitlements to the poor, tax breaks to the middle class and bailouts to the rich just to keep all of us dependent upon it? What if a vibrant republic requires not just the democratic process of voting, but also informed and engaged voters who understand first principles of limited government and free-market economics, and the divine origin of natural rights?

What if we could free ourselves from the yoke of big government through a campaign of education and information and personal courage that leads to a revolutionary return to first principles? What if the establishment doesn’t want this? What if the government remains the same no matter who wins elections?

What if because of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, because he isn’t campaigning just for votes as his competition is, because he is educating the population and winning the hearts and minds of a once free people and inspiring them to fight for their freedom once more, freedom wins? What if we can be free again? What will it take to make that happen?

...Numbers don’t lie. From 1790 to 1913, when the federal government existed without a Federal Reserve to print money and lend to the government whatever it wanted, the value of the dollar rose by 8 %. From 1913 to 2011, in the 98 years we have had a Federal Reserve, the value of the dollar has decreased by 93%."

-Judge Andrew Napolitano

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."

It all reminds me of the increases in the yearly Potato harvest under Stalin's farming Initative.

Pleasures to see

Things that I like but lost whence I found them. I have NO American Political affiliation. I just post things about Freedom and Liberty concerning MYSELF. Before you accuse me of being a member of one party or the other, READ MY BLOG below...

This is a picture blog. You are very welcome to enjoy them, as much as I have had the pleasure to enjoy them myself. This blog has a collection of images. Some might be NSFW, but only a very very small number of images. There is no particular theme, it's only about what I like. My blog is but a visual treat. Enjoy...
