More Polished Than the Last Puppet

"Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet

By Cindy Sheehan

“When a government lies to you, it no longer has authority over you.” Cindy Sheehan. Dallas, Tx; 2005

July 22, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception.

I am observing very little “change” in actual policy, or even rhetoric from an Obama regime. Granted, his style and delivery are more polished than the last puppet, but especially in foreign policy, little has changed. Evidently we elect Presidents based on empty rhetoric and if we can find someone who can say very little using many words, that’s better. I knew a year ago when Obama and his ilk were blathering on about “change” that they didn’t mean positive “change” for us, but it’s a shame Obama’s voters didn’t ask him to be a little more specific or demand some good “change.”

Besides foreign policy where he is a complete disaster, it appears Obama’s jobs program is little more than adding tens of thousands of troops to an already bloated military, instead of bringing troops home from anywhere. Billions will go to the money trap of the Pentagon to invest in recruiting, where the budgets of peace groups who do counter recruitment are tanking.

This is the 3rd week in July and already it’s the deadliest month for US and coalition troops deaths in Af/Pak. Who would ever have thought when violence is surged, then deaths would surge, also? I think I’ve seen this movie before.

The blueprint for this disastrous administration came early when O appointed nothing but neocons to his foreign policy team. The Secretary of State and the National Security advisor have even both admitted that the Council on Foreign Relations/Henry Kissinger are calling the shots.

Sec. Clinton at a speech at the new HQ for the Council on Foreign Relations:

I have been often to, I guess, the mother ship in New York City, but it’s good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council (Council of Foreign Relations), so this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future.

National Security Advisor, James Jones, who also VERY coincidentally, I’m sure, was on the boards of directors of Chevron and Boeing, had this to say earlier this year:

As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger. Jones was also giving a speech to the Council on Foreign relations at the time. Kissinger is a fabulous role model for war, don’t you think.

How many deaths will Kissinger be forced to atone for when he goes to the same place as McNamara? Wherever prosperous war criminals go to when they die?

As an early, ardent and unapologetic supporter of the Bush Pre-emptive Wars of Aggression Doctrine, Sec. Clinton showed her true colors early on in her tenure as an elected official and, of course, Jones is a war profiteer. Added to this mix is George Bush’s SecDef, Robert Gates, and these are just the main players. Contrary to his “promise” Obama has appointed former lobbyists to key positions in the Pentagon.

We all know all of these things, but the more things “change” the more they stay the same. Apparently the OBots are co-opting the excuses of the BushBots to justify their savior’s surge in Afghanistan and Pakistan and broken promise after broken promise in Iraq.

The other day Howard Dean, on DemocracyNow!, told Amy Goodman that although Iraq was bad, we need to stay in Afghanistan because, first and foremost, for the women:

And if we leave, women will experience the most extraordinary depredations of any population on the face of the earth. I think we have some obligation to try and see if we can make this work, not just for America and our security interests, but for the sake of women in Afghanistan and all around the globe. Is this acceptable to treat women like this? I think not.

Laura Bush earlier this year:

“There’s still a risk to women in Afghanistan. I hope the people of the United States will stay committed. We don’t want to see Afghanistan go back to what it was before.”

I have been on my Myth America Book Tour for three months now and almost everywhere I go, an older white male will stand up and say: “Cindy, we really need to stop allowing Iraq to distract us. Afghanistan always was the place we needed to focus our attentions!” And besides the other neocon reasons given for why US troops need to decimate that country further and kill more innocent women and children is: you guessed it: For the women!

So, we are literally sending in the cavalry to rescue the poor women of Afghanistan, and the patriarchal state apparatus and its zombie adherents don’t care how many women we have to kill to save them.

Disgusting.

I give Obama an “F” for his first six months. There has been nothing to like from his continuing the Bush failed economic policies to excluding single-payer advocates from the table. Not to mention reinforcing and protecting Bush Crimes.

The good news is: He’s got plenty of room for improvement!

Americans Oppose All Wars

Not telling me something I don't already know: Slow Saturday Special: American People Are Antiwar

"Poll: Majority in US Oppose Both Wars

Posted By Jason Ditz On July 23, 2009

A new AP-GfK poll released today shows a majority of Americans opposed to the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq. The numbers also reveal growing concern that the president will be able to meet his goals, particularly in Iraq.

The Iraq War was opposed 63-34, while the slightly more popular Afghan War was opposed 53-44. Both numbers split strongly along party lines, with roughly two thirds of Republican supporting each war. Only 10 percent of Democrats support the Iraq War while only 26 support the Afghan War, which has been the foreign policy centerpiece for the Obama Administration.

Other polls have showed growing opposition among allies for their own nations’ contribution to the Afghan War, and it seems that as the war has become a more prominent part of American foreign policy with the Obama Administration’s escalations that opposition is rubbing off on Americans as well.

The governments of some of those nations, Britain and Germany in particular, have been rock solid in their commitment to continue the war despite popular opposition, and likewise Vice President Joe Biden has insisted that the rising death toll in Afghanistan is “worth” it. The Netherlands however is planning to end its commitment by the end of next year, and other nations are considering non-combat roles as a way to quiet domestic opposition to the war. Germany’s Defense Ministry has sought to stem anti-war sentiment by arguing that its not a war at all.

Though the Obama Administration only yesterday insisted that the Iraq pullout remains “on schedule,” which the current plan having the majority of troops out by August 2010 and all troops out by the end of 2011, the snail’s pace of the pullout so far also appears to be sewing pessimism about the plan’s chances, with the number who believe the President will have even “most” troops out of Iraq in the next four years dropping to only 68 percent, down from 83 percent before his inauguration.

The Great Wall to Empire: Why AmeriKa Will Fail

"Saving the Bankers With a Make-Believe War

by: Peter Chamberlin

Pakistanis and Americans have a common problem, which is also shared by every other country on the planet–corruption in high places. The world is made to fret over the impending loss of the entire capitalist system by the overlords of the Western media, even though, the only loss for the common man will be the chains that bind him. We are all supposed to be grieving deeply for the collapse of the money system which has made so many people rich, people whom the media tells us we all want to be just like.

The media, no matter how hard it keeps from telling the truth and how much it twists and deforms the facts to fit the official spin set by Washington, cannot snuff-out all the tiny lights of awareness that are springing-up all over the world. Washington and Islamabad have both tightly controlled their national media, never allowing the cutting truth, or trouble-making bearers of explosive truth the print space or air time in the “legitimate press.” No one is allowed to rock the looters’ boats as they struggle to transfer their ill-gotten treasures to shore before they too lose everything in the coming collapse.

The Western media leads popular opinion to sympathize with the struggling corporate raiders, in order to help orchestrate the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. The media portrays the “war of terror” as a great struggle to save civilization, even though true “civilization” (the liberation of every soul through universal human rights) has not yet evolved. The media’s one purpose it to try to encourage the “free world” to sacrifice its children in a senseless struggle to preserve the destructive forces that have made the destruction of the old order inevitable.

Emergency measures, both economic and military, have been forced upon us, to carry on a war that is destroying both freedom and democracy, while maintaining the fiction that the war defends both. The media whips popular opinion into a frenzy to build patriotic blood-lust within the mob and the desire to kill millions of strangers for crimes that our leaders swear they fully intend to commit. The Western media and the Pakistani media, like the governments which they serve, are pushing the people to a fatal war, seeking to outrun the rising mob that wants the leaders’ heads.

We have glimpsed the truth about our leaders, and our knowledge is frightening them to death. The “good old boy” network that dominates in every country (and cumulatively controls the world) lives on borrowed time, as the power of the people is a building tsunami of change which is barreling down upon them. This is a secret that, for them, must remain hidden from the silent majority. The people are breathing down their necks and they are running scared, head-on into a great wall of their own making.

Pakistan is the great wall. The empire’s dreams, as always, are about to be shattered in Waziristan. It is not that the Army is about to suddenly develop a collective spine and stand-up for the Pakistani people against the American aggression; it is that the people themselves, who are fed-up with the games and lies and are ready to hold the Army responsible for all military attacks in the tribal regions. No matter how much they might complain about American airstrikes in Pakistan, it is all for show. The American attacks are driving Pakistan’s war choices, contrary to the will of the Pakistani people. The Army will eventually fight on America’s terms, if they want to have a seat at America’s “victory” banquet, after seizing everyone’s everything. They have all grown quite wealthy at your expense.

sold us all a bill of goods, as we were drawn into a make-believe battle to “save civilization” from the savages, never bothering to describe the mission, or tell us how they would accomplish it, and at what cost. No one told you that Pakistan’s choice had been made for it, to destroy Pakistan, in order to save it, just like in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Every aspect of this new war has two dimensions—the official media version of events and the buried truth. If the government or the media ever merges the two conflicting dimensions and the paradox is revealed, then the war effort will collapse, as the criminal conspirators will have their cover blown. Somewhere, just below the surface, most people suspect that the truth about the war remains hidden from us. It is the responsibility of the true research journalists to confirm people’s suspicions about the war and the empire, by revealing the hidden truths.

As long as the American and Pakistani people are willing to play-along and pretend that a bunch of “stirred-up Muslims” are capable of destroying the world, or even just one important country, like Pakistan, then the game can go on and the empire builders can continue to lay their foundations for a world united in permanent limited war. The empire of the smiling faces must be brought to an end, by exposing the hollow rhetoric that drives this war.

It is not civilization itself that is in danger of collapsing; it is the parasitic system of international financing, which feeds-off both the civilized world and the developing world, which is in danger of destruction, a danger that the smiling face parasites created by their own greed. We have been tricked into entering into a full-blown world war to save the bankers and the network of cronyism that gives them their ultimate power.

The bankers’ system is not endangered by wild “Islamists” in any way; it is enriched by the expanding resource wars made possible by their destabilizing actions. It is not enough that the bankers and their minions have raped trillions out of the pockets of the American taxpayers, now they must also have the trillions, or quadrillions of energy bucks represented by the vast resources of south-central Asia, Africa and S. America.

America is not in any danger that its leaders have not created themselves, just as Pakistan is not in any danger other than that manufactured by its own military government, while serving America’s will. The only real danger we face is from our own dangerous leaders, just as the only real danger faced by our elitist leaders is that which emanates from the people becoming aware of their plans and beginning to offer stiff resistance to the idea of shipping their sons and daughters away to be abused by the military and then sent-off to kill or die in the latest resource wars.

The funny thing about resources, is that they will always be available to those who want them. Obtaining these resources only requires money, a lot less than that which is currently being spent by our government in its attempt to take the natural resources from others. We are not waging war in the gas and oil regions of the world for the right to purchase their products (we can already do that); we are fighting to own that which is not ours.

Stop your sons and daughters from serving in this bankers’ war. Convince them to serve their own countries, not the evil smiling parasites that have taken over all countries and brought the world to ruin.

It’s time for the world revolution.

"The Serving Armies of The Standing Bankers

by Visible

One would be a fool to think that because they could see the delusions and denial of those around them that they were free of some degree of the same. You can’t occupy a human body with its sensory apparatus and be free of it. Even if you were free of delusions about the nature and operations of the manifest world you would not be free of delusions about yourself. Even an awareness of the world is a delusion because it indicates a state of dreaming that doesn’t exist, except as a projection upon a blank screen. The screen is real, the projection is not.

However, even if the pool a man is drowning in is not real, this does not mean you should not try to pull him out of it. His suffering is real to him, even if he is in denial about it.

I know that agents of the American and Israeli government were the authors of 9/11. I know this. Many others know this. Then there are those who buy the official line which is impossible. The very fact that no jets were scrambled during the event points to government complicity. The free fall of three buildings into their own footprints and the evidence of nano-thermite prove controlled demolition. Consider these things in a court of law.

Why then do seemingly intelligent people resist the obvious truth? Let’s give an example of a personality type. Let’s take a man who went to war in Vietnam or Iraq under the illusion that he was fulfilling some patriotic duty to a democratic country. We’ve since learned that the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, like nearly all wars, were the brain child of bankers who initiated them for profit. Let’s consider that the so-called democratic country is not, in fact, a democratic country but a serf nation in fealty to a collection of bankers called The Federal Reserve. All of the representatives of this serf nation are employed by the bank and serve at the pleasure of the bank. John Steinbeck illustrated the nature of the bank in his wonderful novel, “The Grapes of Wrath”. Today you see the reality of ‘the bank’ at work in wars for profit, in foreclosures and corporate thefts as well as the tightening of counterfeit, fiat currency flow into the economy.

This man who went to Vietnam has bought into his own sense of sacrifice and whatever idea of manhood he thought he got out of it. He even wallows in the injustice of his state, given how the war ended and the public’s view of it. It defines him to himself. He’s listening to Bruce sing, “Glory Days” on the bar stool of his dotage. He went from soldier to college graduate and into a field that relied on the serf nation for his employment. He bought into the system and served the system, continuing to believe that there are good wars and that his nation is a democratic one. He seeks justice in the system believing that the public interest is served. In reality, the poor usually go to jail and the rich stay out or spend their time in a country club. If he looks clearly at it he cannot justify his position with his conscience so he becomes philosophical and interprets everything that happens within a fantasy construct the same way he did with Vietnam.

Deep inside this man strives to believe that he is a hero. He rocks along with John Fogerty and never hears a word. All across this democratic land, there are men and women like him. They are lawyers and businessmen; politicos, doctors, engineers, teachers and whathaveyou and they all work for the system. The system allows only so much in the way of personal or reactive thought and action. When you’re heavily involved in it and in debt to it, it owns you… no matter what you tell yourself. It owns you. You can’t act outside of it and you can’t speak against it or yonder looms the highway and the sleeping bag under the overpass. This living state of compromise and hypocrisy in the service of a confined, personal survival is untenable to a real person. A real person doesn’t ask themselves the cost of truth. They pay the toll.

No one wants to have to accept that they went to war or that their children died in wars that existed only for the profit of bankers or the pressures of a foreign nation who control the banks that start the wars. No one wants to be put into the position where they jeopardize their position by speaking out against lies and hypocrisies, so they pretend they don’t exist while the very thing stares them in the face. This is how you die inside. This is how you lose your youthfulness and all of the finer qualities that made you who you think you are but no longer are because these finer qualities will not stay in the heart of a man who is false to himself.

How is it that a man can think himself brave by going to war for bankers and not find himself capable of going to war for the very essence of what these false wars were presented as being about? All the phony medals and awards of this phony world are useless except in the company of other men and women who lie to themselves. They think they are honest yet they embrace dishonesty at every turn. They think they are brave yet they kneel in a moment before the oppressors of humanity. They think they are useful but they are all bad examples and willing servants of the engines of enslavement. They watch movies about people in dire peril who win the day because that’s how movies go. They think they are one of those people but they are given the same choices as the people in the movie and they turn away. They turn away.

No man can see the world as it is who does not look closely at himself. No one can know the meaning of anything if they do not know the meaning of themselves.

It is something to see; people who imagine they are standing forth and speaking the truth while hearing the roar of the crowd. One does not hear the roar of the crowd when one speaks the truth. One hears the rustling of chairs and the sound of people leaving the hall. Why is this? The people who are leaving are not leaving because of the speaker. They are leaving because what is inside them cannot accept the responsibility that comes with hearing the truth and failing to act.

Such an immensity of lies surround us that it threatens to block out the sun.

(Related?:
The Boston Globe Censors Wars for a Second Day)

It has certainly blocked out the light of introspection and objectivity within so many of us. Enshrined lies now have their own laws to protect them. The only time a purported truth needs protection is when it is concealing the lies contained within it. If something is true then further inquiry only proves it so.

The men from Vietnam and Iraq believe they have sacrificed so much for their country but they fought and died and… in some part survived …conflicts generated by bankers. They are fools to believe otherwise but they do. Having embraced this lie it is not so hard to embrace each succeeding lie. They want to be a part of all they imagined to be true. They go on to fill the positions freely given to those who can accept and perpetuate the lies. They corrupt their own children with these lies after first having corrupted themselves. They corrupt their friends and their neighborhoods. Their churches speak of the deep things in unknown places which honor those who gave their service to God and Country. It was always the bank. It was always about the money; money for the men who did not go to war, money for the men who created the wars for money.

The greatest of honors are reserved for those who have the courage to see the lies and to admit that they were in service to lies and who then denounced the lies and their own complicity in them. These are the few and the brave who are no longer proud. How often have we seen any man accomplish this before the world and then go on to live the truth he has discovered at the cost of all he once believed to be true?

It has been truly asked what it profits a man to gain everything and lose himself. There are real heroes among us but their ranks are not composed of the men and women who have served the interests of those who sacrificed them for a lie.

"How a Greening Culture Cannot Ignore the Military: Green Zone review and interview

Barry Sanders’ new book, The Green Zone:The Environmental Costs of Militarism is sparking the sorts of discussions Barry, and we, hoped it would: discussions that, to use Barry’s words, shift the terms of debate from “antiwar” movements to “no war” movements. The following review and interview come from The Indypendent.

The Green Zone: The Environmental Costs of Militarism
By Barry Sanders
AK Press, 2009

As we have become more aware of our effect on the planet and its climate, many average Americans have taken steps toward a greener lifestyle. The Nature Conservancy conducted a poll a few months ago that found 53 percent of those surveyed engage in small actions like recycling, using green household products, and bringing reusable bags to stores. Perhaps, however, what is more revealing is the poll also found that nearly three quarters of respondents believe their personal actions are significant to the health of the environment.

Enter the buzzkill that is Barry Sanders’ new book, The Green Zone: The Environmental Costs of Militarism, in which he delivers a wake-up call to the green movement. Simply put, the solution is not in the hand of the people—at least not their literal pair of hands. But it is also not, as most of us might believe it to be, in the hands of the largest corporations. Sanders’ book brings into the environmental discussion a “new” player. One whose environmental influence has yet to be seriously examined: the U.S. military. As the book present it: “… ironically, that greatest single assault on the environment, on all of us around the globe, comes from one agency, that one agency in business to protect us from our enemies, the Armed Forces of the United States.”

Sanders, a retired English and History of Ideas professor at Pitzer College in California, isn’t out to condemn the efforts of ordinary people. Most of his published works—including eleven other books on subjects as seemingly disparate as racism, laughter, and literacy—defend the average person from the degrading control of hierarchical systems. The way Sanders views the current state of the environment is no different. To him, “Citizens look like patron saints of the environment compared with the rampant destruction that the military causes.”

In order to make his case, Sanders presents an overwhelmingly fact-driven argument, listing various types of military equipment, their fuel source, and how much gets used. At first, it’s hard to see many of these details being of interest to anyone other than military buffs. But when Sanders manages to provide recognizable points of comparison, the numbers become quite damning.

For instance, even though we Americans consume on average 1.3 gallons of oil a day, deployed soldiers in 2007 burned about twelve times that amount, at approximately 15 gallons a day. It’s through this relation that we can begin to understand how the military is the world’s greatest consumer of not just petroleum, but energy, in general.

As bad as it is, however, the Pentagon’s figures don’t even come close to telling the whole story. As Sanders explains, “The DoD provides no official accounting for the amount of oil the military consumes in garrisons and bases abroad.” We don’t even know the exact number of bases—although some experts place the figure at slightly more than 800. Even so, there’s no doubting, at least according to what little information the Pentagon does supply, that it is the world’s largest landlord.

Furthermore, the Pentagon doesn’t count fuel that the military obtains for free—such as the likely great amount it receives from Kuwait—or the fuel consumed by the thousands of independent contractors, who lease, make, or do things for the military. You can also forget about knowing how much energy it takes to rebuild countries like Iraq. The amount of unknown information and points of energy consumption go on and on.

Sanders puts it bluntly when he says, “As taxpayers we own stock in a nefarious corporation that cooks its books until they are well done.” Yet even he laments the fact that the military isn’t a corporation. If it were, then perhaps such behavior would be grounds for legal action, government intervention, or consumer boycott. But none of the regular rules apply here.

Again, it would seem there’s little place for the average person to make a difference. But that’s where Sanders attempts to bring it back around. He suggests a number of well-meaning ideas for those of us who want to see restrictions placed on the military. Some—such as tax resistance—are radical, but wholly pragmatic steps that cut right to the heart of the issue: an increasing Pentagon budget. While others, such as the establishment of an education program that teaches about military pollution, are more long-term oriented. Sadly, neither seem like steps that the mass American public—too busy with the fad that is the green revolution—would find inviting.

If The Green Zone is short on viable solutions, Sanders needn’t be blamed. This is, after all, the first book to examine the relationship between militarism and ecological destruction—something not even Nobel Prize Laureate Al Gore has been willing to address. Sanders has commendably begun a much needed dialogue.

Let’s just hope that those Americans who believe their personal actions are significant are willing to be put to the test.

INTERVIEW:

The Indypendent’s Bryan Farrell takes his questions about The Green Zone and what should be done directly to the author, Barry Sanders.

BRYAN FARRELL: Right off the bat, in the introduction to your book, you say the largest source of pollution in the world is the military, particularly the military at war. What do you say to young people, many of whom are not as strongly opposing the wars as they are global warming and other environmental crisis?

BARRY SANDERS: I want them to see that they’re the same issue. It’s not going to make much difference what kind of soap you’re using or if your hand towel is recycled. If the military is laying out acres and acres of depleted uranium half way across the world, it’s going to find it’s way back here. Every time I talk that way, it comes as a surprise to students. We’re taught that every little bit helps. You give some money to a charity and it helps. But every little bit is not going to help when there’s a monster out there. I want to bust these categories and say, “No, it’s not about the military. It’s not about the environment. It’s about everything.”

BF: What about the military’s efforts to become more sustainable? For instance, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada houses the world’s largest solar photovoltaic system and the Navy runs the largest wind/diesel hybrid plant in the world located in Guantánamo Bay.

BS: There is a line in the book about how that basically means killing people with more efficiency. That doesn’t seem to me like something to rejoice about. When I was a kid I loved magic. Once you’re a fan of magic you learn that if the magician is showing you his right hand you ought to keep your eyes on the left hand. So I know that if the military is telling me to look at how clean this hand is, I need to look at the other hand. And that other hand is bound to be filthy with oil and blood. So I don’t want to look the other way. I want to look dead on at the military itself and what it’s doing. Not at the small little hybrid recommendations.

BF: There’s also the nihilist argument that even if the United States scales back it’s military, there are still other countries like China with large military divisions. Would it really make a difference?

BS: Those other countries would not be using their military [if the United States scaled back]. Korea would not have a missile system. Neither would India or Pakistan, if we didn’t show the way. We have a military budget that’s larger than every other military combined in the world. What would the world be like if we took a risk. What would the world be like if we scaled down and said to people that we’re the military everyone’s been afraid of. We’ve been the policemen of the world for so long. My own personal notion is that war is obsolete and that Earth has made it obsolete. There is a price to pay if you want to continue the way that we’re continuing and that is the price of the earth.

BF: People in so-called “developing countries” will clearly be paying the price first, while instability in those countries is likely to increase. Is there a possibility, therefore, that the military actually stands to benefit from global warming, perhaps by serving as protectors against food riots and climate refugees?

BS: I won’t go as far as to say that the military rejoices in its participation in global warming. But I will say that I do think the real war is yet to come and it’s going to be over resources. When millions of Africans moving north are looking for water and looking for food we’re going to protect our own interests. We’re going to become much more singular than how we need to be in the world, which is communitarian. I know the military is aware of this because they’re meeting about it and they’re talking about it. I think they will welcome such a war because it will have full support from this country. I don’t think that it is far fetched. They’re planning for it now.

BF: In the book, you discuss tax resistance as a way individuals can take action. Why do you think tax resistance can be an effective method of protest? What else can be done?

BS: Johnson levied a telephone tax of 10 percent on people’s phone bills to support the war in Vietnam and lots of people protested and refused to pay it. That sort of thing may be necessary now. My lessons are mostly from the ’60s with organizations like SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] and I think there’s a great deal of organizing that has to go on before there will be any kind of change. There will have to be a march on Washington that’s 15 times as big as the march against the war in Vietnam in 1965 where 250,000 people showed up or the march on Washington in 1963 for civil rights where 200,000 showed up. The antiwar movement also has to change to the no war movement. It’s not enough to be opposed to just this war.

What antiwar movement?

I must say I've always noticed an absence of environmental protesters at the antiwar protests -- which tells you a whole lot about them and their agenda.

“The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time, their tentacles reaching into many aspects of our daily lives, and are the hidden hand behind all the social cataclysms in history.”

The French and American Revolution, the Civil War, World Wars, the Industrial Revolution, the Federal Reserve and our consumer society. Rothschild policies include “total ruthlessness” and as Frederic Morton writes in the Preface to “The Rothschild’s,” “For the last one hundred and fifty years, the history of the House of Rothschild has been to an amazing degree the backstage history of Western Europe…. The overwhelming success of the Rothschild’s lay in their willingness to do what had to be done.”

What follows is the history that has been intentionally left out of our textbooks. The historical research by Toqueville, Chartier and Hitchcock if examined without prejudice supports a prima facie case that the House of Rothschild orchestrated the French and American Revolutions to create the middle class (consumers) for the purpose of trashing the planet.

Our last President Bush, connected to the House of Rothschild Global Financial Empire, was deadly serious when, after rejecting the global climate change targets of the July 2008 G8 summit, he said, “Goodbye, from the (then) world’s biggest polluter.” [1]

“Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.” John F. Kennedy

In the early 20th century historians (such as Charles Beard), looking for the social forces they thought controlled history, emphasized industrialization and urbanization. These were forces unleashed by the industrial revolution and the textile industry. [2]

By the mid 20th century, attention turned to the broader concept of “modernization,” which included industrialization, urbanization, psychological changes and changes in values. Eric Hobsbawm called “modernization” (Consumerism), “probably the most important event in human history.”

Consumerism Needs the Middle Class

If you were living in the 18th century looking for humans to consume the resources of the planet where would you find them?

Answer: 95-97 percent of the population of Feudal Society. The “Third Estate” had potential consumers but first they would need to be “enlightened” with a philosophy and movement based on respect for the dignity of man, concern for his welfare, and the creation of favorable conditions for a just social life.

Men began to think government was not something kings exercised by divine right and then Maximilien Robespierre started the French Revolution. The order was given to Robespierre in book form by Rothschild’s agent Adam Weishaupt and his associate Xavier Zwack. [3]

At the beginning of the Revolution, Kings, Monarchs and the despots of our history books held supreme power; by the time it ended, the human rights movement replaced centuries of tyranny and oppression for the common man.

Is that possible?

Revisionists are still trying to explain why the despots of our history books wouldn’t use the Guillotine to dispense with such a heretical movement.

Roger Chartier writes in The Cultural Origins of The French Revolution, the popular notion that the Enlightenment caused the Revolution makes the mistake of post hoc ergo propter hoc – “after the fact, therefore because of the fact.” Thus, Chartier and other historians claim it was the French Revolution that made the Enlightenment.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man is often seen as the quintessential Enlightenment document but the declaration called for a meritocratic social order, not an egalitarian one. Equality was conspicuously absent.

The revisionists are consistent in dismissing the Marxist interpretation, but without a 20th century perspective on environmental damage they have no systemic theory explaining the events in late 18th century France. Ecocide was a pivotal and necessary part of the Rothschild plan for a New World Order.

Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité

In the summer of 1789 when France rose up in revolt it wasn’t over intellectual, social or political issues; it was food. The country was in the midst of a famine caused by abnormal weather.

The common man was having trouble developing his natural talent and potential because he was hungry.

“The French Revolution will only be the darkness of night to those who see it in isolation; only the times which preceded it will give the light to illuminate it.” The whole social edifice of Ancien Regime France collapsed at a single blow, and the fact that this was in the midst of one of the worst El Niño episodes of the millennium is something that should be taken into account when examining this history.”, de Tocqueville 1952, p. 249

September 11, 1814 should be examined as well. [4]

The rise of humanism and the social injustices in the 18th century did not create the revolutionary brew that saw the overthrow of the French monarchy. The House of Rothschild and the weather changed the course of history.

When the French government on the verge of bankruptcy from the seven years wars was unable to provide famine relief, public frustration erupted into violent demonstrations and the French Revolution.

Of course most despots would call for an inquisition and blame the peasants for the worst El Niño episode in history.

In 1795 when the people rebelled against a provision of the National Convention, Napoleon simply fired “a whiff of grape shot” into the mob, and the rebellion was over. [5]

Why did the House of Rothschild allow the revolution to succeed?

Answer: There were not enough consumers in the First and Second Estates in 18th century Feudal Society to weaken the planet.

The House of Rothschild Global Financial Empire

The vast accumulation of wealth, financial and natural resources of the House of Rothschild is legendary.

“And there was no news more precious than the (predetermined) outcome at Waterloo…”

Considered the turning point in history, exploiting the Battle of Waterloo gave the Rothschild family complete financial control of Europe, and soon after, the world. England would set up a new Bank of England, with Nathan Mayer Rothschild in control.

According to one source in the late 1800s, when the planet was still in ecological balance, “it was estimated the House of Rothschild controlled almost half the wealth of the world” [6]

That would be real wealth: raw materials, commodities, copper, iron ore, petroleum, lead, copper, silver and gold.

How much are they worth today?

Almost half of the world’s fiat wealth about $500 trillion of the fiat currency (monopoly money) they created out of thin air to finance our consumer society. [7]

And their real wealth, where is it now?

Used up, as in consumed, by the middle class so former members of the Third Estate (serfs and slaves) could have houses, cars, RVs, TVs and DVDs—the affordable things we take for granted which put the planet on the bridge to Ecocide.

One of the more absurd notions that found its way into the history books and the writings of economic experts, is that somehow the International Bankers (swindlers and scoundrels of history) were made wealthier accumulating the monopoly money they printed.

The swindlers and scoundrels wealth, not yours or mine, was eventually “cut, mined and hauled away,” so that Americans could have that cheap stuff that is currently “trashing the planet”.

During the last 100 years those swindlers were able to distort the structure of relative prices; generate misallocations of labor and capital throughout the economy; rationalize new governmental interventions in the face of the market “instability” manipulate the patterns of and the profits from international trade which resulted in the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the stagflation of the 1970’s, the dot-com and the housing market bubbles…which resulted in unprecedented prosperity for the middle class… and $500 trillion of monopoly money for the House of Rothschild.

Did Woodrow Wilson “ruin his country” when he signed The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and made the middle class prosperous beyond precedent in the most powerful nation in the world?

Yes, because prosperous beyond precedent was unprecedented environmental damage for the planet.

Capitalism never made sense unless the goal was ecocide.

The ideal and the principle of the market economy of Capitalism was never fulfilled.

What is called capitalism is a distorted, twisted and deformed system of increasingly limited market relationships as well as market processes hampered and repressed by state controls and regulations. And overlaying this entire system are the ideologies of 18th-century mercantilism, 19th-century socialism, and 20th-century welfare statism.

Professor Ebeling, the Ludwig von Mises professor of Economics at Hillsdale College, understood something was wrong when he wrote: “the perverse development and evolution of historical capitalism, the institutions necessary for a truly free-market economy have been either undermined or prevented from emerging.”

But when he claimed, “it is the principles and the meaning of a free-market economy that must be rediscovered” in order to overcome the burden of historical capitalism and save liberty, He should have written principles must be rediscovered in order to save the planet from ecocide.

It didn’t matter if we listened to Keynes, Friedman or Mises; or for that matter anyone from the Rothschild-funded Austrian School of Economics, consumerism never made economic, environmental, or common sense. [8]

Even conscious consumers consume, as in use up the resources of the planet.

Revolution

The American and French Revolutions made consumers out of 97% of the population who could now afford, thanks to those scoundrels behind the Federal Reserve, their own castle with all the furnishings and a two-car garage for their mobile pollution devices – the personal automobile. [9]

Let me repeat, since 1910 the House of Rothschild and the Rockefellers have exchanged their real wealth for 600 trillion of fiat currency (monopoly money) they printed so former members of the Third Estate (serfs and slaves) could have houses, cars, RVs, TVs and DVDs—the “stuff” which put the planet on the bridge to Ecocide.

The only thing dumber is when a poor person in the People’s Republic of China loans about $4,000 to everyone in the (rich) USA. [10]

Rockefeller philanthropy wasn’t limited to dimes.

The Enemy of the State

"Human Nature is the Enemy of the State

By: Peter Chamberlin

more about “President Clinton Apologizes for MK U…“, posted with vodpod

Mind-control….Just mention the word and the mindless begin to giggle, the skeptics roll their eyes. Anyone who tries to fathom the meaning of the word becomes instantly muddied as a “conspiracy theorist,” simply by the act of trying to understand. Yet even in our jaded society, the truth can prevail over disinformation, if it manages to reach the light of day. It is not a conspiracy theory if it is based on facts.

The ugly truth about mind-control is that our government has, over the years, carried-out thousands of criminally unethical medical experiments “at hospitals, universities and military bases around our nation,” which were so serious and downright immoral that President Clinton had to publicly apologize publicly for them years after the fact.

Most of the more notorious and morally obscene illegal experiments conducted by the military and the CIA (other than the chemical, biological and radiation experiments on soldiers) which came to light in the Church Hearings, were designed to produce super spies and assassins. These were grouped under the code name “MKULTRA” (such as trauma-based psychology and ECT- induced amnesia [electroshock therapy]).

What is not known, is that all of these mind-bending conditioning programs began as Army psychological rehabilitation programs, developed originally to mentally recondition “inadequate soldiers” and those who had been diagnosed with neuropsychiatric disorders, during WWII. Basically, the program consisted of trying to force scared or angry young boys into being good soldiers by torturing them, using Nazi-developed techniques.

The ugly truth is that the US Army tortured a lot of America’s sons, under the guise of trying to reshape their wills using electrical and chemical means, among other repugnant “clinical” measures. The nationwide testing and re-education network, which fed the military’s needs in World War II and Korea, dwarfed the CIA’s more infamous illegal experiments to find perfect “Manchurian Candidates,” although all of the work in this field was supervised by military intelligence, which later became the CIA.

A very shocking statistic was revealed in studies before the war, that “only 15-20% of World War II soldiers along the line of fire would use their weapons.” This meant that most of America’s soldiers, even volunteers, could not overcome their own moral reservations about killing another human being. Upon entering the war, troop actions on the battlefield revealed another motivational shortfall, very often, fear overcame training, as the sheer terror of night fighting and the blistering awareness which was obtained at the losing end of Hitler’s “lightening war,” caused many highly-trained soldiers to forget their training and flee into the night.

From: A War of Nerves, By Ben Shephard:

FireShot Pro capture #21 - 'Add New Post ‹ Therearenosunglasses’s Weblog — WordPress' - therearenosunglasses_wordpress_com_wp-admin_post-new_php

The Nation had to induct every available man, in order to obtain the greatest number of shooters/killers. No one already in the service could be let go without a fight. It was deemed necessary to explore all possible measures, including medical means, to remedy the Army’s extreme shortfall of boys who were willing to kill on command. The Army had to eliminate this “defective” human personality trait in American boys (even though it was common to the majority of the human race) and find new ways to turn into our kids into useful killers. Every “noneffective” had to be retained and made useable.

The following information is from, Developments in Military Medicine:

“Neuropsychiatry. Methods and principles applied by the Medical Department to the reconditioning of noneffectives were also made basic to the handling of neuropsychiatric problems. The magnitude of these problems in the Army is indicated by the fact that from 1942 to 1945, inclusive, neuropsychiatric disorders accounted for the sepa­ration on certificates of disability for discharge of 379,486 enlisted men.”

A national motivational program was needed; the only available model of such a psychological program was in Nazi Germany. The US Army literally modeled its motivational program on some of the brutal experiments that were mercilessly carried-out on unwilling subjects in the Nazi concentration camps. Just like the prisoners in Hitler’s prisons and laboratories, America’s sons had been delivered into the hands of soulless evil men who would pass electricity, at up to 120 volts through their heads, in order to destroy their thinking processes and obliterate their memories.

Thousands of young boys were judged to be mentally deficient because they could not bend to the dehumanizing process of basic training, or they could not overcome their consciences telling them that it is wrong to kill other men. They sounded like fine young lads to me. All of them had their minds bent and their wills shaped to a foreign directive, forever altered from the free-willed young men that they once were, because they could not give-up their freewill or serve the war machine.

It is seemingly impossible for the majority of the American people today to even consider the hard evidence that is out there, which proves that these American mind-control experiments were a continuation of the criminal Nazi mind control experiments. These US experiments were often run by the actual Nazi scientists who had originally begun them, made possible by the importation of thousands of Nazi scientists after World War II in the CIA operation, “Project Paperclip.” The Army mind-control studies which took place between WWII and Korea began as “Operation Bluebird,” later to be renamed “Project Artichoke” in 1951.

The Army brainwashing program was intended to produce thousands of leaders to serve as the basis of a massive propaganda program to manipulate popular opinion in the homeland. The plan was to use these re-conditioned returning veterans to inspire the nation to become more patriotic and regimented. By shaping thousands of potential role models to project professionally crafted images of virile, hard-working American manhood who would serve any just cause and eagerly kill whoever the government wanted dead, the government set about planning for a future of military adventures.

All facets of American life would become keyed to the government national brainwashing program to shape American minds, in their scientific efforts to actually change human nature itself. American schools would become fascist incubators, cranking-out millions of good soldier ants and worker bees. The media would continue its wartime propaganda efforts, disguised as “news,” even in peacetime. The entertainment industry would inspire and overwhelm the imaginations of millions of malleable youth, filling them with the desire to serve, or to see action.

Our leaders chose to attempt to force the psychological evolution of mankind by artificial means, rather than by investing in correcting the problems and environmental imbalances which helped to shape our thoughts and concerns, freeing minds to grow. The psychological militarization of millions of American minds was focused on creating better soldier/citizens, thereby creating a superior fighting force that was fully supported by a psychologically enhanced population, in order to accommodate the American vision of world domination. Just as the corporate/government press controlled the amount of “news” that Americans received, the government mind control program sought to control the opinions we formed with that news we were given, even programming us with how and what to think.

The Army’s dual-track program was intended to plug the gaps and to fill the shortcomings of the present selective service system with a new, highly-motivated all volunteer force and simultaneously create a secret army of Ninja-like “Special Forces.” The entire process of creating new leaders to lead us into the new order, was the greatest social engineering project in human history.

Most of the following is quoted from, Neuropsychiatry in World War II, Volume I, Zone of Interior:

The program began as a medical effort to rehabilitate wounded soldiers, with the intention of returning as many as possible of them back to the front lines.

“On 1 April 1944, War Department Technical Bulletin (TB MED) 28, the first comprehensive directive on the treatment of psychiatric patients, was issued, and for the first time, it was officially directed that psychiatric patients be treated:

The acute needs for manpower make it imperative that every treatment method available in station and general hospitals for neuropsychiatric patients be utilized to the maximum. The aim is to salvage every possible soldier for further duty. Those patients in whom there is no hope for salvage should be recommended for discharge.”

After WWII it had become obvious that the “inadequate soldier” was one of the military’s gravest concerns. The military developed a rehabilitation program centered around a psychological testing program that was administered to all inductees. It was used to identify candidates from among the Army’s rejects, the “inadequate soldiers,” who had been shuffled into the neuropsychiatry program where they were labeled as neurotic, even “psychopathic,” simply because they didn’t fit the prevailing military opinions at that time which held that there was “something wrong” with otherwise healthy young men who either refused to submit to the basic training process, or to physically kill, once they were trained and deployed.

The inadequate soldier was another outstanding problem. This type of soldier rapidly developed somatic symptoms along with complaints and appearance of weakness.26 Intensive therapeutic interviews and suggestive therapy accomplished very little in changing these patterns.27

…most cases were mild neurotics with various somatic manifestations. Sore backs, stomach aches, and headaches predominated.

Other psychiatric problems which often resulted in hospitalization were reactive depressions, homesickness, “gold-bricking,” situational maladjustments, emotional immaturity, enuresis, somnambulism, and alcoholism.

It is our impression that routine punishment and discipline has very little effect on most prisoners whom we see and it is encouraging to note that many more of the men are being sent to reconditioning centers where they may receive skilled help for evaluating their problems.

Their policy was to return the questionable or mild cases to duty

Medical officers, however, had no other recourse. If a man were not fit for duty because of a psychoneurosis, the only possible disposition was to send him to a hospital. In civilian life, hospitalization would not even have been considered. (Farrell, M. J., and Appel, J. W.: Current Trends in Neuropsychiatry. Am. J. Psychiat. 101: 12-19, July 1944.)”

Those who were deemed suitable for the military reconditioning program were transferred into the various Army camps that had psychological treatment programs. One of these was at Camp Carson in Colorado Springs.

At the Camp Carson, Colo., Station Hospital, an unusually active psychological testing program was developed.12 Studies were performed on the underlying emotional problems of enuretics and patients with rheumatic fever; also, correlations were made between psychological tests and clinical diagnosis of illiterate personnel (including mental and educational deficiencies).”

The psychologists there and at other facilities began to copy the known psychological manipulation techniques that were reportedly being perfected by the Nazi scientists.

“Under these conditions, shock therapy (mostly electroshock) was used freely for disturbed or agitated psychoses and depressions; subshock insulin treatment was employed in the more severe psychoneurotic reactions with encouraging results; psychotherapy under sedation called narcosynthesis, which had gained great popularity overseas in the treatment of combat neuroses, was resorted to in patients with residual symptoms of psychoneuroses incurred in combat and in cases of conversion hysteria.”

They were following almost exactly the Nazi-perfected techniques of using extreme electroshock sessions to produce an artificial state of amnesia, followed by prolonged sedation, accompanied by hypnotic suggestion (“narcosynthesis”). (These are also the exact same techniques that were utilized later in notorious CIA research done in Canada under Dr. Ewen Cameron, in the infamous MKULTRA mind-control program, only their efforts were aided by the use of LSD [the Army began experimenting with LSD in 1949].)

The psychological program at Camp Carson also included various forms of vocational training, classes in patriotism, and the teaching of other skills that were common among “normal” Americans:

Occupational therapy.—Since occupational therapy was considered of particular benefit to psychiatric patients, it received considerable impetus in the reconditioning program. The more masculine types of such therapy were sought, but the arts and crafts were also found popular and useful. Ingenious and devious means were found to interest the patient and keep him occupied. Group projects were often instituted such as landscape gardening, furniture and toy construction projects, camp paper publication and printing, and handyman repair services.

Films such as “Why We Fight” (a seven part propaganda documentary) were shown to the men. War developments, the “four freedoms,” war leaders, and the like, were taught in the indoctrination classes.

Music and entertainment.—Major efforts were directed toward popularizing group participation in these entertainment fields. Group sings and bands were frequently organized for this purpose although passive participation with USO shows and guest entertainers had some therapeutic effect.”

Prevocational training was coordinated with occupational therapy and educational activities in such fields as carpentry, mechanics, metalwork, welding, and radio, and a free period was provided for elective activities such as photography, arts, music, rehearsal for shows, band practice, stamp collecting and other hobbies.56 A special directive on the use of music in reconditioning emphasized its importance in the treatment of neuropsychiatric patients.

All facets of this medical and vocational regimen were carried-on at Camp Carson (renamed Fort Carson in 1954), in order to indoctrinate the traumatized veterans as much as possible, before returning them to civilian life. With the advent of the Korean War, came justification for continuing the reconditioning programs indefinitely, attempting to salvage soldiers from the world war for the next war.

I know for certain that the Neuropsychological programs at Camp Carson continued until at least 1953, because my father was held there in 1952. He was sent there from Ft. Benning, Ga. (another MKULTRA facility) because he had been considered to have a mental deficiency for refusing to enter officer training, or to consent to killing other human beings. Until that time, he had been considered a good soldier.

Since then, he has had recurring nervous and psychological problems, coupled with occasional bouts of temporary amnesia. He doesn’t really remember much from his time in Camp Carson, Station Hospital; he no longer remembers telling me about the electroshocks (my mother confirms he had them). He does remember receiving a lot of phenol-barbital, being chased by a large man wielding an axe, and the fistfight between himself and a large colonel (who had been pounding some pitiful little private named “Bates”), which got him a “general” discharge thanks to a general’s intervention.

He also remembers meeting and talking with the actor Robert Mitchum, who had been brought-in as a patriotic role model, to inspire (help brainwash) the troubled boys. (“War developments, the “four freedoms,” war leaders, and the like, were taught in the indoctrination classes.”) I have seen the photos of them together, but they were sitting on the steps of some large brick facility, certainly not the Army base (Perhaps it was another scary site in Colorado Springs which also gave electroshock, like the Colorado Springs Pathological Institute?).

From what has been learned up until now about the hideous MKULTRA program, electroshock, hypnosis, extended periods of barbiturate-induced semi-comas and staged acts of trauma-inducing terror were the methods used in some of the more extreme facilities. This means that the psychiatric facility at Camp Carson equaled the most extreme CIA facilities uncovered anywhere. Since it served as a model program for all the Army, then that means that Nazi torture-based mind-control had become an integral part of the basic training program.

At the end of the war it had become apparent that the Empire’s plans for world domination would go nowhere without a willing army of killers to enforce its plans for everybody else. The American male was completely inadequate for the task. The majority of fighting-age men had to be made into better killers, who were willing, even eager, to kill for our government, no matter who they wanted us to kill, or how many they wanted dead.

Using this same illegal Nazi science the government has carried-out its psychological reconditioning programs for its super-soldier initiatives. The basic techniques remained the same, as developed by the Nazi behavioral programmers, only adding slightly new twists as new technology and new drugs like LSD became available (the Nazis used mescaline in their experiments).

The infamous MKULTRA program was carried to its most radical extremes through its Canadian research facility, run by mad scientists under Dr. Ewan Cameron. His extreme torture sessions, done mostly on women (even on young girls), combining sensory deprivation, electroshock, prolonged periods of sleep (up to 60 days under sedation) and strong doses of LSD, discredited the very mental health issues that he was exploring in his research, even though they validated the mind-control utility of his approach.

We know that the “Manchurian Candidate” assassins research was the end result of this effort. Through my website, I received the following testimony from a man claiming to be one of these former Manchurians, describing the techniques I have been describing:

Vincente’s testimony:

“There is such a program being administered by the DOD via the military. In 1986, while serving in the military, I participated in a psychological conditioning program that was administered at NAS Cecil Field, in Jacksonville, Florida. I was given electro-shock therapy and some unknown drug therapy, in conjunction with hypnosis. The purpose of all of this was to dampen, or rather dumb down your awareness of your emotional state. You still have reasoning ability, except your ability to understand your ‘feelings’, or rather understand your ‘emotional state’ was inhibited. When I was “put” into a situation, where any rational person would have “intense fear”, I had none. In fact, in covert combat situations I felt no fear, no anger, and no remorse…The psychological effects are something else. Your emotional state ends up being like a 4 year old child.”

So the United States government, in order to carry-out its policies of fighting endless resource wars, centered around countless covert wars wherever the precious resource is to be had, must create an army of super soldiers, using Nazi mind-control techniques and the new American mind-control science based on these techniques, to torture the “best of the best” into some sort of inhuman zombie killers without consciences. These are the soldiers in Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney’s death squads.

The basic psychology of all the programs developed from the Nazi mind-science studies has been carried through into all aspects of American government operations. US foreign policy especially has become dominated by the trauma-based psychology that lies at the heart of all the Nazi/CIA mind-warping sciences. Basically, the idea was to use methods like disabling drugs, electroshock and violence to shock or stun the mind, in order to subdue the person’s own dominant personality, before implanting new ideas and thoughts, even developing completely new and separate identities within that submissive mind. Through its studies on the psychological effects of intensive bombing on populations during WWII, the Army realized that the shock of bombing or other violent events created the same psychological effects as the electroshock on entire populations. After receiving the shock of the deadly bombing, the population becomes mentally pliable, more open to suggestion.

Carrying the concept of shock psychology over into basic military training itself, new recruits are subjected to a calculated, grueling process, where they are worked into the ground, physically abused and degraded with a constant verbal tirade about their own worthlessness as human beings, until their wills are broken. After they are broken, the Army reprograms them with a new superior fighting will. These reconditioned 17-19 year olds go on to fill the vacancies left by their predecessors, more worn-out and discarded veterans of war and mind-control. Ask any of them about their experiences and you will be hearing the stories of successful graduates of the government’s mind-control academy.

Judging from the end results of decades of this attempt at social engineering, by way of unlimited psychological warfare, and the fact that America’s all volunteer Army struggles to find new suckers, it is safe to say that the solution arrived at for “inadequate soldiers” was a complete failure. The program was just another attempt by the American government to find a use for scientific torture; in this case, the purpose was to burn-out psychological resistance (morality) to committing acts of murder. By embracing the basic science and methodology of Nazi scientists like the notoriously evil criminal Mengele, the US government embraced Nazism at its very core.

It is my contention that America has been living under a Nazi regime since World War II. The Nation has been held captive by multiple variations of the Nazi mind-sciences until this very day. The behavioral economics theories followed by Barack Obama are but another manifestation of this trauma/threat-based psychology manipulation. The so-called “war on terrorism” is but the latest act in the new history of a renewed “Third Reich,” an American “Reich.” Under the hypnotic spell of the new patriotic ideology implanted within us, American youth have continued to maintain the flow of army ants for the Reich’s eternal plans for world conquest.

Young brainwashed men continue to waste their lives on the altar of the new religion, believing firmly that they are serving their country, when the reality is just the opposite. By serving your country as hired killers you are doing a great disservice to the human race. As you murder those who resist the American invasion of their lands for nothing more than corporate profit, you are serving the latest incarnation of the world tyrant, the “anti-Christ.” You had to be brainwashed first, before they could trust you to serve the deadly mission in the field, there on the frontlines where you would find yourself eye-to-eye with those innocent folks that you were hired to kill.

America is dominated by an alien force, one that our fathers thought they had destroyed. If all those brave young men who passed into oblivion on the beaches and killing grounds of Europe had only known that the evil they fought would be embraced by the very government that sent them, they would have probably laid-down their arms right there. That is what is required of today’s latest graduates of the mind-control academy, to stop the Nazi war machine, you must lay-down your arms, and the rest of you patriotic suckers must stop volunteering.

The end result of all this can only be seen as failure, since more people are starting to shake-off the psychological conditioning, most importantly, the soldiers are becoming disillusioned. We have inherited a society and American-dominated world that is run by the best killers, the most adaptable to the prosperity program, the lowest human denominator, what has been termed an era of psychopaths.

In Twilight of the Psychopaths, Dr. Kevin Barrett has described this controlling malevolent form of control as an “overworld”:

“[A] criminal syndicate or overlapping set of syndicates that lurks above ordinary society and law just as the underworld lurks below it… brutal, cunning gangs of CIA drug-runners and President-killers; money-laundering international bankers and their hit-men, economic and otherwise; corrupt military contractors and gung-ho generals; corporate predators and their political enablers; brainwashers and mind-rapists euphemistically known as psy-ops experts and PR specialists—in short, the whole sick crew of certifiable psychopaths running our so-called civilization”

We are bugs in a jar. Sometimes the hidden hand shakes the jar. Is it so that our tormentors can wager among themselves upon which branch we shall alight, after the shaking, or is it done with purpose, as if to herd us from one stage of the experiment to the next?

In normal human nature, society produces only a limited amount of natural leaders, equal parts of both good and bad, only a few are either geniuses or madmen. In our age of psychopaths, it is the hope of the many that a few geniuses will stand-up, so that all may overcome the madmen. A good place to start would be the prosecution of the US Army for torturing thousands of American boys, according their violations of the Nuremberg Code, the same set of standards used to judge the Nazis the last time they tried to take-over the world.

The ten points of the Nuremberg Code

The ten points are, (all from United States National Institutes of Health) [1]

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonable to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.

The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

5. No experiment should be conducted where there is a prior reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
