Truth is Hidden

Our current socio-political atmosphere seems to be heavily endowed with it's emphasis on gay rights, or equal rights for homosexuals. We have an Equality March coming up soon in Washington DC, fundraisers for said March abound, Pundits from the left and right weigh in almost daily, and Ben & Jerry's have even renamed one of their ice creams in support. While this is an interesting and socially popular meme, it often distracts individuals from matters of life and death - Psychopathy and its ever present affect on Global Politics.

As a species, humans have been constantly embroiled in conflict. Large groups have fought one another over the millennia for resources, land, or simply because one group claimed their giant invisible friend (read: god) was better. Recent research, developed and studied by numerous unnamed psychologists and students in Poland circa 1930-1945, demonstrated categorically that violence between groups of humans is the result of the group mind - whether it being the body politic or religious establishment - being infected by a very specific type of human.

Psychopaths. When I say the word, what image is conjured up? Hannibal Lector comes to mind for me, Ted Bundy, and a host of other famous ones - but the ironic part is that these aren't the most dangerous type, in fact we can regard them as 'failed' psychopaths because we have been able to identify them as such through their clearly deviant behavior. Hitler was a psychopath, yet look what he was able to do - he manipulated an entire nation into a war of aggression, and its clear he had help. Stalin had many of the traits, yet his disorder was slightly different, he's what you call a Characteropath, he suffered a paranoid world-view which was largely do to physical damage to his brain suffered as an infant. The point being that both these individuals had no capacity for the full range of human emotion. Guilt, Empathy, Responsibility, Sympathy, Love - they were as impossible for them as it is for a dog to speak - yet due to a lack of awareness on the part of humanity, awareness that these types of individuals exist, that they crave power, and that they are fully capable of manipulating their way into getting it, they were able to control entire nations and kill millions of innocent people.

If you think we learned the lesson, think again. George Bush and his daddy exhibited many of the traits of a psychopath. Tony Blair, Nicholas Sarkozy, Ehud Olmert, Benjamin Netanyahu - they have the signs for those that have been paying attention. The fact that JFK was killed in broad daylight, by the power elite of this country, an obvious patsy blamed - and it was never investigated by the police should tell you something about who or what is pulling the strings here at home - but I digress.

Today the United States of America - the country I was born in and have come to know and love - is engaged in two major wars of aggression. We invaded Afghanistan in 2001, and then in 2003 we launched another war in Iraq. The excuse for both these wars lie in the attacks we endured on September 11th, 2001 - however the reality behind those attacks is that the perpetrators were never truly identified. We were told Osama Bin Laden and his infamous Al-queda was to blame, but the reality is that Bin laden was a CIA asset for decades and Al-queda a creation of the same agency. Bin Laden himself also denied guilt, and gave a stark indictment of the United States, or its rulers anyway.

I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.

It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of Allah upon the United States and Israel. There is also a warning for those Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier been done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya and Bosnia? Only one conclusion could be derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just a show, rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is forcing them to play a role of its choice. Put a glance all around and you will see that the slaves of the United States are either rulers or enemies of Muslims.

Which brings me back to the point that Psychopaths Rule Our Nation, and Our World. They need us to continue to fight each other, without constant conflict, constant bloodshed, we may have the time to spread knowledge and awareness not only of their deviant psychology, but of the ways in which they poison our bodies and minds in order to keep us dumbed down, suffering random medical conditions, and thus easily controlled.

In conclusion, gay rights is important, but what value are those rights when we do not live in a democracy, do not have the rights of free speech and assembly, are denied habeas corpus (right to a trial). If you think I'm wrong, take a look at what happened to peaceful protesters at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. The scary ominous, Nazi-style tactics are evident throughout the video, but the last minute or so when they roll out the LRAD really triggered my spider-sense - feel free to skip ahead to that part.



As I mentioned in my open letter to Debra Sweet, head of World Can't Wait and a lovely human being:

This (Psychopaths in power) is THE problem with our planet, and until it is dealt with, no peace movement will ever be effective. No civil rights can ever truly exist. There can be no equality, nor environmental protection, nor real healthcare until these conscienceless monsters are removed from power and exposed for what they are.

Please consider it, roll it around in your head, and begin to educate yourself about Psychopathy and Ponerology. If enough people take a stand, have the courage to see the truth and to no longer believe the maleficent lies of those in power, we can take our world back. We can change everything without firing a single bullet, a revolution of knowledge and awareness changing our world and making it a better place for everyone.

Take some inspiration from the latest Muse Single, Uprising.

Dearest Debra,

First off, let me say that I love your events and what World Can't Wait does in terms of protest actions and coordination of the peace movement across the country. I can't wait for the NYC Freeze wedding event, I'll totally be there, in as formal wear as I can muster with my limited wardrobe. I think these events are great ways to reach out to the people, and to inform them about what's going on in Afghanistan and other countries where the Pathocrats wage war on normal people.

There is a big blindspot that thus far I haven't seen anyone in the movement focusing on. That is the fact that Psychopaths Rule Our World. If you haven't had a chance to read that copy of Political Ponerology I highly suggest you do. One of the big rules in medicine is do not attempt to cure that which you do not understand, and on a macrosocial level psychopathy is like a cancer. It hijacks that bodies machinery and uses it to reproduce, destroying the body in the process. This is exactly what we're seeing within humanity itself.

Beyond that, people simply cannot fathom how their rulers lie so ruthlessly, so convincingly, and charm the populace with their glib and superficial words. They understand politicians are all liars and cheats, but have no idea why. They have no idea that psychopaths can be so good at manipulation, that they can go their entire lives without being detected. Take the recent UN appearance in NYC and the G20 as an example - you can tell that they fear US. Looking at how they shut down the cities and deploy storm troopers everywhere - they know that if we were to discover and disseminate the truth about their deviant psychology they would be out quicker then a flash of lightning.

That is their Achilles heel, if enough people knew that Psychopaths own major arms companies, that Psychopaths have control of our banking system, that Psychopaths control most of our major media we could simply refuse to participate in their lies anymore. This is THE problem with our planet, and until it is dealt with, no peace movement will ever be effective. No civil rights can ever truly exist. There can be no equality, nor environmental protection, nor real healthcare until these conscienceless monsters are removed from power and exposed for what they are.

I beg that you seriously consider this issue, and really do your homework on it until you understand it thoroughly. The work of Robert Hare is excellent, Without Conscience & Snakes in Suits especially. Political Ponerology will demonstrate how they infect groups and take them over. There's also the work of Fletcher Prouty, The Secret Team and JFK which both demonstrate how they have used our resources, our military and our intel agencies to push their agenda over the last sixty some years.

Until this problem is exposed and understood no peace movement can ever achieve a lasting peace.

Thanks for your time,

Remember, Remember, the 11th of September - The Nano-thermite, Treason and Plot! I know of No Reason why the Nano-Thermite Treason Should Ever, Be, Forgot!

That small bit of "remember - 9-11 was an inside job" happened to spark an exchange on my facebook page which totally reminded me of some Lobaczewski quotes. It seems, during so called 'happy times' that searching for the truth becomes inconvenient. Let's say that evidence indicated that your government was not at all working for your best interests, and in fact, was operating solely at the discretion of ultra-rich psychopaths. You might have to do something about it, right?

During “good” times, the search for truth becomes uncomfortable because it reveals inconvenient facts. It is better to think about easier and more pleasant things. Unconscious elimination of data which are, or appear to be, inexpedient gradually turns into habit, and then becomes a custom accepted by society at large. The problem is that any thought process based on such truncated information cannot possibly give rise to correct conclusions; it further leads to subconscious substitution of inconvenient premises by more convenient ones, thereby approaching the boundaries of psychopathology.

Such contented periods for one group of people - often rooted in some injustice to other people or nations - start to strangle the capacity for individual and societal consciousness; subconscious factors take over a decisive role in life. Such a society... considers any perception of uncomfortable truth to be a sign of “ill-breeding”. (Lobaczewksi, Political Ponerology)

In other words, to accept that our government was involved in 9-11, that certain parties committed treason of the highest order, would naturally force us to act. Our lives would be disrupted and we'd have a higher calling to fulfill - that of Americans honor bound, to seek justice for the lives of our slain family and friends. Simply put, our subconscious makes it difficult for this to occur, especially when reinforced by government propaganda that assures us 'all is well'. Continuing...

The most complex process of this type is substitution of premises thus eliminated by other data, ensuring an ostensibly more comfortable conclusion. Our associative ability rapidly elaborates a new item to replace the removed one, but it is one leading to a comfortable conclusion. This operation takes the most time, and it is unlikely to be exclusively subconscious. Such substitutions are often effected collectively, in certain groups of people, through the use of verbal communication. That is why they best qualify for the moralizing epithet “hypocrisy” than either of the above-mentioned processes.

The above examples of conversive phenomena do not exhaust a problem richly illustrated in psychoanalytical works. Our subconscious may carry the roots of human genius within, but its operation is not perfect; sometimes it is reminiscent of a blind computer, especially whenever we allow it to be cluttered with anxiously rejected material. This explains why conscious monitoring, even at the price of courageously accepting disintegrative states, is likewise necessary to our nature, not to mention our individual and social good.

There is no such thing as a person whose perfect self-knowledge allows him to eliminate all tendencies toward conversive thinking, but some people are relatively close to this state, while others remain slaves to these processes. Those people who use conversive operations too often for the purpose of finding convenient conclusions, or constructing some cunning paralogistic or paramoralistic statements, eventually begin to undertake such behavior for ever more trivial reasons, losing the capacity for conscious control over their thought process altogether. This necessarily leads to behavior errors which must be paid for by others as well as themselves.

People who have lost their psychological hygiene and capacity of proper thought along this road also lose their natural critical faculties with regard to the statements and behavior of {pathological individuals}. Hypocrites stop differentiating between pathological and normal individuals, thus opening an “infection entry” for the ponerologic role of pathological factors.

Generally, each community contains people in whom similar methods of thinking were developed on a large scale, with their various deviations as a backdrop. We find this both in characteropathic and psychopathic personalities. Some have even been influenced by others to grow accustomed to such “reasoning”, since conversion thinking is highly contagious and can spread throughout an entire society. In “happy times” especially, the tendency for conversion thinking generally intensifies.

And so it is entirely possible, not to mention likely, that due to the emotional pain suffered by considering the facts, the facts regarding 9-11 are completely ignored by most of the populace. They were covered up quite effectively, and thus not available unless one has the penchant to go looking for them. Personally, I didn't realize 9-11 was an inside job until well into 2005, after a flash animation caught my attention and I found myself digging deeper.

The funny thing is, this isn't really anyone's 'fault' per se`. We're all wired like this, and depending on how we were raised - whether or not we were rewarded or punished for discussing unpleasant truths - it effects us each a little differently. Barbara Oakley discussing the same phenomenon in her book, Evil Genes:

A recent imaging study by psychologist Drew Westen and his colleagues at Emory University provides firm support for the existence of emotional reasoning. Just prior to the 2004 Bush-Kerry presidential elections, two groups of subjects were recruited - fifteen ardent Democrats and fifteen ardent Republicans. Each was presented with conflicting and seemingly damaging statements about their candidate, as well as about more neutral targets such as actor Tom Hanks (who, it appears, is a likable guy for people of all political persuasions). Unsurprisingly, when the participants were asked to draw a logical conclusion about a candidate from the other - "wrong" - political party, the participants found a way to arrive at a conclusion that made the candidate look bad, even though logic should have mitigated the particular circumstances and allowed them to reach a different conclusion. Here's where it gets interesting.

When this "emote control" began to occur, parts of the brain normally involved in reasoning were not activated. Instead, a constellation of activations occurred in the same areas of the brain where punishment, pain, and negative emotions are experienced (that is, in the left insula, lateral frontal cortex, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex). Once a way was found to ignore information that could not be rationally discounted, the neural punishment areas turned off, and the participant received a blast of activation in the circuits involving rewards - akin to the high an addict receives when getting his fix.

In essence, the participants were not about to let facts get in the way of their hot-button decision making and quick buzz of reward. "None of the circuits involved in conscious reasoning were particularly engaged," says Westen. "Essentially, it appears as if partisans twirl the cognitive kaleidoscope until they get the conclusions they want, and then they get massively reinforced for it, with the elimination of negative emotional states and activation of positive ones." {...}

Ultimately, Westen and his colleagues believe that "emotionally biased reasoning leads to the 'stamping in' or reinforcement of a defensive belief, associationg the participant's 'revisionist' account of the data with positive emotion or relief and elimination of distress. 'The result is that partisan beliefs are calcified, and the person can learn very little from new data,'" Westen says. Westen's remarkable study showed that neural information processing related to what he terms "motivated reasoning" ... appears to be qualitatively different from reasoning when a person has no strong emotional stake in the conclusions to be reached.

The study is thus the first to describe the neural processes that underlie political judgment and decision making, as well as to describe processes involving emote control, psychological defense, confirmatory bias, and some forms of cognitive dissonance. The significance of these findings ranges beyond the study of politics: "Everyone from executives and judges to scientists and politicians may reason to emotionally biased judgments when they have a vested interest in how to interpret 'the facts,'" according to Westen.

And so, when I discuss 9-11 being an inside job, those that suffer 'pangs of discomfort' now have a scientific basis to understand that their anxiety is biological in nature. A tendency to get angry with 'truthers' or to vehemently deny the facts of the matter indicates a mal-formed thought process based on truncated data and activation of the brains 'punishment centers'. Simply realizing the pattern, understanding it, and consciously studying the data and drawing new conclusions from it will interrupt the process and thus disabling the punishment centers and should allow the individual to derive conclusions based upon the data, as to opposed to how one 'feels' about it.

It comes as no surprise to me that there have been serious and corroborated allegations of illegal organ trafficking, and now harvesting, coming out of Israel. Ever since Sharon and Arafat "became ill", the conflict in Palestine seems to be getting worse and worse. The pathocrats (pathological individuals in government/finance/military) there have no fear of American institutional condemnation, since our very own pathocrats are more then willing to support their psychotic brethren in the middle east.

You may recall a few weeks ago there was a story that broke about some corruption in New Jersey, Rabbi's and Black-market kidney's, that serves as circumstantial evidence, that this kind of crime is occuring:

The probe also uncovered Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn, who is accused of conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for a transplant. According to the complaint, Rosenbaum said he had been brokering sale of kidneys for 10 years.

"His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000," said Marra.

The article referenced above also mentioned money laundering, interestingly enough:

Dozens of New Jersey politicians, officials and prominent rabbis were arrested on Thursday in a sweeping federal probe that uncovered political corruption, human organ sales, fake Gucci handbags, and money laundering from New York to Israel, officials said.

The 10-year investigation, dubbed "Operation Bid Rig," exposed influence-peddling and bribe-taking among a network of public officials and a separate multimillion dollar money-laundering ring that funneled funds through charities operated by local rabbis, said the US Attorney's office in Newark, New Jersey.

That was yesterday, today we have serious allegations which go beyond the scope of black-market sales, but actual murder of palestinians and then (as if murder wasn't bad enough) harvesting their organs. Granted, their isn't a smoking gun here, however there is a lot of information to consider. For instance, here, we read:

Last November, a local Tel Aviv paper Ha'ir ran a 12-page expose of Abu Kabir and revealed how the national lab allows medical students to practice on bodies sent there for autopsies, and transfers body parts for transplants without permission from the family of the deceased.

The family of Alastair Sinclair, a Scottish tourist, who, hanged himself in an Israeli jail, was forced to bring suit for the return of missing body parts.

University of Glasgow pathologists, who did an autopsy at the request of Sinclair's family, found that it had been returned without a heart (which they suspect was used for a transplant) and without the crucial bone needed to confirm the claim that he died from hanging.

So was he murdered? We'll never know, but it's awfully strange that his heart and that bone just happened to be 'missing' when his body was returned.

And while I hate linking Rense.com, I did find this story:

Israel Kills Palestinian Boys, Steals Organs For Transplants
AL-KHALIL (IRNA) - The Zionist state has tacitly admitted that doctors at the Israeli forensic institute at Abu Kabir had extracted the vital organs of three Palestinian teenage children killed by the Israeli Army nearly ten days ago.

Zionist Minister of Health Nessim Dahhan said in response to a question by Arab member of the Zionist Parliament 'Knesset', Ahmed Teibi, on Tuesday that he couldn't deny that organs of Palestinian youths and children killed by the Israeli forces were taken out for transplants or scientific research.

"I couldn't say for sure that something like that (taking out the organs) didn't happen."

The article continues, explaining how their bodies were returned with organs missing after being held by the Israeli's for a few days without explanation.

The big story that's breaking now comes out of a report by a Swedish paper, which seemed to have taken a lot of info from the above and amalgamated it into one article. The english translation can be found here, under the tag line "Our sons plundered for their organs".

The story of one boy in particular is worth repeating here, so I'll include it, though I recommend reading it in its entirety.

In the summer of 1992, Ehud Olmert, then minister of health, tried to address the issue of organ shortage by launching a big campaign aimed at having the Israeli public register for postmortal organ donation. Half a million pamphlets were spread in local newspapers. Ehud Olmert himself was the first person to sign up. A couple of weeks later the Jerusalem Post reported that the campaign was a success. No fewer than 35,000 people had signed up. Prior to the campaign it would have been 500 in a normal month. In the same article, however, Judy Siegel, the reporter, wrote that the gap between supply and demand was still large. 500 people were in line for a kidney transplant, but only 124 transplants could be performed. Of 45 people in need of a new liver, only three could be operated on in Israel.

While the campaign was running, young Palestinian men started to disappear from villages in the West Bank and Gaza. After five days Israeli soldiers would bring them back dead, with their bodies ripped open.

Talk of the bodies terrified the population of the occupied territories. There were rumors of a dramatic increase of young men disappearing, with ensuing nightly funerals of autopsied bodies.

I was in the area at the time, working on a book. On several occasions I was approached by UN staff concerned about the developments. The persons contacting me said that organ theft definitely occurred but that they were prevented from doing anything about it. On an assignment from a broadcasting network I then travelled around interviewing a great number of Palestininan families in the West Bank and Gaza - meeting parents who told of how their sons had been deprived of organs before being killed. One example that I encountered on this eerie trip was the young stone-thrower Bilal Achmed Ghanan.

It was close to midnight when the motor roar from an Israeli military column sounded from the outskirts of Imatin, a small village in the northern parts of the West Bank. The two thousand inhabitants were awake. They were still, waiting, like silent shadows in the dark, some lying upon roofs, others hiding behind curtains, walls, or trees that provided protection during the curfew but still offered a full view toward what would become the grave for the first martyr of the village. The military had interrupted the electricity and the area was now a closed-off military zone - not even a cat could move outdoors without risking its life. The overpowering silence of the dark night was only interrupted by quiet sobbing. I don’t remember if our shivering was due to the cold or to the tension. Five days earlier, on May 13, 1992, an Israeli special force had used the village’s carpentry workshop for an ambush. The person they were assigned to put out of action was Bilal Achmed Ghanan, one of the stone-throwing Palestinian youngsters who made life difficult for the Israeli soldiers.

As one of the leading stone-throwers Bilal Ghanan had been wanted by the military for a couple of years. Together with other stone-throwing boys he hid in the Nablus mountains, with no roof over his head. Getting caught meant torture and death for these boys - they had to stay in the mountains at all costs.

On May 13 Bilal made an exception, when for some reason, he walked unprotected by the carpentry workshop. Not even Talal, his older brother, knows why he took this risk. Maybe the boys were out of food and needed to restock.

Everything went according to plan for the Israeli special force. The soldiers stubbed their cigarettes, put away their cans of Coca-Cola, and calmly aimed through the broken window. When Bilal was close enough they needed only to pull the triggers. The first shot hit him in the chest. According to villagers who witnessed the incident he was subsequently shot with one bullet in each leg. Two soldiers then ran down from the carpentry workshop and shot Bilal once in the stomach. Finally, they grabbed him by his feet and dragged him up the twenty stone steps of the workshop stair. Villagers say that people from both the UN and the Red Crescent were close by, heard the discharge and came to look for wounded people in need of care. Some arguing took place as to who should take care of the victim. Discussions ended with Israeli soldiers loading the badly wounded Bilal in a jeep and driving him to the outskirts of the village, where a military helicopter waited. The boy was flown to a destination unknown to his family. Five days later he came back, dead and wrapped in green hospital fabric.

A villager recognized Captain Yahya, the leader of the military column who had transported Bilal from the postmortem center Abu Kabir, outside of Tel Aviv, to the place for his final rest. “Captain Yahya is the worst of them all,” the villager whispered in my ear. After Yahya had unloaded the body and changed the green fabric for a light cotton one, some male relatives of the victim were chosen by the soldiers to do the job of digging and mixing cement.

Together with the sharp noises from the shovels we could hear laughter from the soldiers who, as they waited to go home, exchanged some jokes. As Bilal was put in the grave his chest was uncovered. Suddenly it became clear to the few people present just what kind of abuse the boy had been exposed to. Bilal was not by far the first young Palestinian to be buried with a slit from his abdomen up to his chin.

The families in the West Bank and in Gaza felt that they knew exactly what had happened: “Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,” relatives of Khaled from Nablus told me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin and the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who had all disappeared for a number of days only to return at night, dead and autopsied.

Why are they keeping the bodies for up to five days before they let us bury them? What happened to the bodies during that time? Why are they performing autopsy, against our will, when the cause of death is obvious? Why are the bodies returned at night? Why is it done with a military escort? Why is the area closed off during the funeral? Why is the electricity interrupted? Nafe’s uncle was upset and he had a lot of questions.

The Israeli government not only denies the charges, they're 'furious' about them.

Israel furious at claim it harvests Palestinian organs

Israelis have reacted furiously to an allegation in a Swedish newspaper that its soldiers have killed Palestinians in order to harvest their organs.

Government officials and commentators in Israel described the report as anti-Semitic and libellous.

Above an article that quoted claims made by Palestinians, Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest-circulation daily newspaper, carried the headline: "Our sons are plundered for their organs". The article alleged Israeli authorities sanctioned such acts because of a shortage of organs in the country.

Daniel Seaman, who heads Israel's government press office, said the article played on "vile anti-Semitic themes".

This comes as no surprise, let's assume the charges are false, this is probably how the Israeli's would react. Assuming the charges are real, that murder and organ theft is occurring, this is also the same reaction we would expect. In fact, just using the anti-semitic slur is evidence the Israeli's are lying:



Further, as we saw above, this isn't just one incident, but several documented cases of murder followed by organ theft. Lastly, I want to leave you with a piece of ponerology, a tactic used by pathocrats, it's called the Reversive Blockade.

Reversive blockade: Emphatically insisting upon something which is the opposite of the truth, this blocks the average person’s mind from perceiving the truth. In accordance with the dictates of healthy common sense, he starts searching for meaning in the “golden mean” between the truth and its opposite, winding up with some satisfactory counterfeit. People who think like this do not realize that this was precisely the intent of the person who subjected them to this method.

The Invisible Third World War

THE WORLDWIDE INVISIBLE WAR waged by the Soviet KGB and the American Central Intelligence Agency over the past fifty years, and under the cover that these war-making organizations were in fact intelligence organizations, was being fought with novel tactics. Not only was this type of underground warfare secret, but so were its methods. Discerning readers were not surprised, then, to discover on an inside page of the New York Times on July 25, 1985, a tiny two-inch article, datelined Zaragoza, Spain, describing one of these Cold War battles, being fought with these secret tactics.

TWO SPANISH OFFICERS SENTENCED
FOR ROLES IN FAKE EXECUTIONS

ZARAGOZA, Spain, July 24 (UPI)—Two army officers who herded villagers into a public square for mock executions were sentenced today to prison terms of four and five months, military authorities said.
A military tribunal ruled Tuesday that officers, Capt. Carlos Aleman and Lieut. Jaime Iniguez, had been overzealous in carrying out orders.
"They were ordered to stage a mock invasion of a town and to make it as realistic as possible, but they went too far," said a Defense Ministry spokesman, Lieut. Jesus del Monte.

This bizarre incident occurred in Spain. Similar events, using the same tactics, take place somewhere in the world almost daily, despite the apparent demise of the Cold War. They have one unique characteristic, seldom if ever seen in regular warfare, that sets them apart. Incidents such as this one, reported by the Times, serve to incite warfare rather than to bring it to an end. To give the age-old concept new meaning, "They make war...out of practically nothing."
The methods used in Spain are almost precisely those used by the CIA in, among other cases, the Philippines in the early 1950s and Indochina from 1945 to 1965. These will be discussed in later chapters. It is important to note that tens of thousands of foreign "paramilitary" and Special Forces troops have been trained at various U.S. military bases under CIA supervision and sponsorship. Some of this training is highly specialized, using advanced weapons and war-related matériel. Some of it takes place at American universities and even in manufacturing plants, where advanced equipment for this type of warfare is being made.
Then there are the paramilitary forces of other nations that have been trained in the Soviet Union. Today these graduates, by the tens of thousands, are the leaders of the "elite" forces of many countries and the professionals used to breed a world of international terrorists. For the most part, they are not individuals or members of some small group, but participants in a most sophisticated, worldwide complex of organizations. The Spanish example is a perfect case study in describing the methods and tactics of such units.(For illustrative purposes, examples of operations in other countries will be merged with the Spanish example to portray more comprehensively the potential of these tactics.)
The Spanish army's Special Forces troops had been ordered to "stage a mock invasion of a town and to make it [look and feel] as realistic as possible." The army was ordered to create a battle that would appear to support evidence of insurgency. This is one of the secret methods of the secret war. These special armed forces are used as agitators. It is as though the fire department were being used to start fires, the police department employed to steal and kill, and doctors ordered to make people sick, to destroy their brains, to poison them. Such clandestine operations are designed to make war—even when they have to play both sides at the same time.
First of all, as stated so accurately in Leonard Lewin's Report From Iron Mountain,1 "allegiance [to the State] requires a cause; a cause requires an enemy," and "...the presumed power of the enemy sufficient to warrant an individual sense of allegiance to a society must be proportionate to the size and complexity of the society."
Therefore, on a global scale, the Cold War required the USSR and the United States to have been enemies by need and by definition. Ever since the Bravo detonation of the hydrogen bomb, the world's political, economic, and military system has had to be bipolar. Those without massive weapons and the means to deliver them could not possibly take part effectively in such global warfare.
It has been politically necessary for each major power to have an enemy, even though both major powers knew that they no longer had any way to benefit from a traditional "all-out" war. Neither one could control its own destiny or its own society without the "threat" of the other. On a lesser scale, as we shall see in the Spanish example, the existence of "insurgents" lent validity to the charge of a "Communistic-supported" insurgency, even though the scope of the "conflict"—that is, the "mock invasion of the town"—was purely local.
All leaders of all nations know that, as stated in Report From Iron Mountain, "The organization of a society for the possibility of war is its principal political stabilizer. It is ironic that this primary function of warfare has been generally recognized by historians only where it has been expressly acknowledged—in the pirate societies of the great conquerors."
That is the historical perspective. It has been the primary reason for the necessary prosecution of the Cold War—"necessary," that is, in the minds of those who are unable to see, or who choose not to see, that there are other reasons than conflict for the existence of Earth and man.
The Spanish application of this tactic of the secret war is interesting and threatens us all. In this case, the two army officers had been ordered to attack a town, with regular Spanish troops (albeit some of them disguised as natives), and to make it look and feel realistic. As undercover warriors, they were trained to do this. (No doubt, some were trained in the United States, where many of the weapons, activities, and techniques mentioned below are used in training.) Under other conditions at other times, these same trained men might have been told to hijack a civilian aircraft; they might have been told to run a mock hostage operation. There is no difference. The only military objective of these battles, and of this type of global conflict, is to create the appearance of war itself.
Now, the Spanish, for reasons of their own, had decided to teach this town a lesson. To initiate this campaign, a psychological-warfare propaganda team arrived in town. They put up posters, made inflammatory speeches in the village square and showed propaganda films on the walls of buildings at night to stir up the village, warning of the existence and approach of a band of "terrorist-trained insurgents." That night, as the movies were being shown before the assembled villagers, a firefight kit, prearranged to explode in sequence to resemble a true skirmish, was detonated on a nearby hillside. Flares and rockets filled the sky. A helicopter gunship or two joined the mock battle scenario. By the time this Special Forces PsyWar team left that town, the whole region had been alarmed by the presence of these "insurgents." The stage was set for the "mock invasion of the town," as ordered.
A few nights later, these two Spanish army officers (was the CIA involved?) divided their regular force into two groups: (a) the pseudoinsurgents and (b) the loyal regular forces. The "insurgents" took off their uniforms and donned native garb, the uniform of the "Peoples' Insurgents." Then they faded into the darkness and began to attack the town. First there was sporadic gunfire. Then some buildings went up in flames. Several big explosions occurred, and a bridge was blown up. The "insurgents" attacked the town as the villagers fled into the night. There was more gunfire, more burning and explosions. The "terrorists" looted the town and fired into the woods where the townspeople were hiding.
As the sun rose, an army unit in a convoy of trucks raced toward the town, entering it with guns ablaze. Above, a helicopter gunship added to the firepower. The "terrorists" were gunned down, left and right (all staged with blank ammunition). The others were rounded up and thrown into extra trucks under heavy guard. In short order, the victorious regular army captain had liberated the town. A loudspeaker in the helicopter called the villagers to return. All was safe! Fires were extinguished. Things returned to near normal.
Meanwhile, the captain remained with his interrogators, questioning the prisoners. Two "insurgent" leaders were discovered with false "terrorist" papers in their pockets and led back to the village square in chains. Charges were read against them, and the villagers observed them backed against the wall and shot! No sooner had the bodies hit the ground than they were picked up and tossed into the nearest truck. Justice had been done.
All trucks moved down the road. The battle was over. Before leaving, the captain turned to the town's mayor and warned him against further terrorism. The townspeople cheered the heroic captain as he left the town in command of the convoy. The forces of justice had been victorious. They drove on a few more miles, and the whole gang—loyal army and "terrorists"—had breakfast together. The "dead" men joined the feast.
This was the "mock battle." Although I have added technical details to the Spanish scenario, I have been to such training programs at U.S. military bases where identical tactics are taught to Americans as well as foreigners. It is all the same. As we shall see later, these are the same tactics that were exploited by CIA superagent Edward G. Landsdale and his men in the Philipines and Indochina.
This is an example of the intelligence service's "Fun and Games." Actually, it is as old as history; but lately it has been refined, out of necessity, into a major tool of clandestine warfare.
Lest anyone think that this is an isolated case, be assured that it was not. Such "mock battles" and "mock attacks on native villages" were staged countless times in Indochina for the benefit of, or the orientation of, visiting dignitaries, such as John McCone when he first visited Vietnam as the Kennedy-appointed director of central intelligence. Such distinguished visitors usually observed the action from a helicopter, at "a safe distance." A new secretary of defense, such as Robert McNamara, who had never seen combat, especially combat in Southeast Asia, would be given the treatment. It was evident to other, more experienced observers that the tracks through the fields had been made by the "Vietcong" during many rehearsals of the "attack." The war makers of Vietnam vintage left nothing to chance.
During the 1952-54 time period, when I flew into the Philippines, I spent many hours talking with Ed Lansdale, his many Filipino friends, such as Juan C. "Johnny" Orendain, Col. Napolean D. Valeriano, and members of his CIA "anti-Quirino" team and heard them tell these same stories. They all worked with Ramon Magsaysay in those days and related how he would divide his Special Forces into the "Communist HUKS" and the loyal military and then attack villages in the manner described above. Before long Ramon Magsaysay had been "elected" president of the Philippines, and President Quirino was on his way out. Later, when I worked in the same office with Lansdale in the Pentagon, he would relate how he and his Saigon Military Mission teammates applied similar tactics in Indochina, both North and South.

Excerpted from JFK by Col. L. Fletcher Prouty

An interesting story from Washington DC this morning, it seems an 88 year old man took a gun into the holocaust museum and killed a guard. Tragic, really, but the significance of him being anti-jew is really what caught my attention. No doubt the incident will be used to demonstrate that anti-Jewish sentiment is still foaming, and will generate sympathy for Israel. Even as the crazy fascist nation continues to abduct Palestinian children and require 'loyalty oaths' of it's Arab citizenry.

But I digress. Needless to say, you just don't up and decide to go on a shooting rampage. I wonder what this guy's background is, and the fact that it was around spook-central is also telling. I would like for you to read a little bit about ritual abuse and mind control. Go ahead, roll your eyes, I'll wait... okay got that out of your system? The speaker is one D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D Counseling Psychology, he's also a practicing psychologist, Director and Founder of the Sex and Martial Therapy Clinic, a Professor @ U of Utah, an Editor @ The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis & the Current President @ the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

At the end of World War II, before it even ended, Allen Dulles and people from our Intelligence Community were already in Switzerland making contact to get out Nazi scientists. As World War II ends, they not only get out rocket scientists, but they also get out some Nazi doctors who have been doing mind-control research in the camps.

They brought them to the United States. Along with them was a young boy, a teenager, who had been raised in a Hasidic Jewish tradition and a background of Cabalistic mysticism that probably appealed to people in the Cult because at least by the turn of the century Aleister Crowley had been introducing Cabalism into Satanic stuff, if not earlier. I suspect it may have formed some bond between them. But he saved his skin by collaborating and being an assistant to them in the death-camp experiments. They brought him with them.

They started doing mind-control research for Military Intelligence in military hospitals in the United States. The people that came, the Nazi doctors, were Satanists. Subsequently, the boy changed his name, Americanized it some, obtained an M.D. degree, became a physician and continued this work that appears to be at the center of Cult Programming today. His name is known to patients throughout the country.

[Pause]

What they basically do is they will get a child and they will start this, in basic forms, it appears, by about two and a half after the child's already been made dissociative. They'll make him dissociative not only through abuse, like sexual abuse, but also things like putting a mousetrap on their fingers and teaching the parents, "You do not go in until the child stops crying. Only then do you go in and remove it."

They start in rudimentary forms at about two and a half and kick into high gear, it appears, around six or six and a half, continue through adolescence with periodic reinforcements in adulthood.

Basically in the programming the child will be put typically on a gurney. They will have an IV in one hand or arm. They'll be strapped down, typically naked. There'll be wires attached to their head to monitor electroencephalograph patterns. They will see a pulsing light, most often described as red, occasionally white or blue. They'll be given, most commonly I believe, Demerol. Sometimes it'll be other drugs as well depending on the kind of programming. They have it, I think, down to a science where they've learned you give so much every twenty- five minutes until the programming is done.

They then will describe a pain on one ear, their right ear generally, where it appears a needle has been placed, and they will hear weird, disorienting sounds in that ear while they see photic stimulation to drive the brain into a brainwave pattern with a pulsing light at a certain frequency not unlike the goggles that are now available through Sharper Image and some of those kinds of stores. Then, after a suitable period when they're in a certain brainwave state, they will begin programming, programming oriented to self-destruction and debasement of the person.

In a patient at this point in time about eight years old who has gone through a great deal early programming took place on a military installation. That's not uncommon. I've treated and been involved with cases who are part of this original mind-control project as well as having their programming on military reservations in many cases. We find a lot of connections with the CIA.

Programming under the influence of drugs in a certain brainwave state and with these noises in one ear and them speaking in the other ear, usually the left ear, associated with right hemisphere non-dominant brain functioning, and with them talking, therefore, and requiring intense concentration, intense focusing. Because often they'll have to memorize and say certain things back, word-perfect, to avoid punishment, shock, and other kinds of things that are occurring. This is basically how a lot of programming goes on.

Some of it'll also use other typical brainwashing kinds of techniques. There will be very standardized types of hypnotic things done at times. There'll be sensory deprivation which we know increases suggestibility in anyone. Total sensory deprivation, suggestibility has significantly increased, from the research. It's not uncommon for them to use a great deal of that, including formal sensory- deprivation chambers before they do certain of these things.

He goes on to describe how the programming takes shape, and what victims are reporting under deep hypnosis. I highly recommend the interested reader check out the speech in its entirety as to get a solid grasp on these mind control techniques and what they can cause a person to do. I guaran-damn-tee you they can program a person to do whatever they want including suicide bombing or walking into a museum with a loaded gun and instructions to shoot some people.

The point of all this, dear reader, is to increase the generalized fear within the populace, to make them or us in this case, more pliable to over government controls that we 'need to keep us safe'. As if the one event wasn't enough we also had a car bombing in Iraq, Gunmen attacking a Mosque in Thailand, and a suicide car bomb attack in Pakistan. I don't believe for one minute it's the work of pissed off Muslims, but patsies of the global financial and political elite who pull the strings from behind a veil of lies and money. They want the planet to be embroiled in violence, they want conflict, simply because people fighting each other are less apt to see the real enemy is playing both sides. This is exactly what they've been doing, and I'm not making this stuff up:

In September of 2003, months after the initial invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Iraq’s most sacred Shiite mosque was blown up, killing between 80 and 120 people, including a popular Shiite cleric, and the event was blamed by Iraqis on the American forces.[14]

On April 20, 2004, American journalist in Iraq, Dahr Jamail, reported in the New Standard that, "The word on the street in Baghdad is that the cessation of suicide car bombings is proof that the CIA was behind them." Jamail interviewed a doctor who stated that, "The U.S. induces aggression. If you don't attack me, I will never attack you. The U.S. is stimulating the aggression of the Iraqi people!" This description goes very much in line with the aims outlined in the Pentagon’s P2OG document about "inciting terror," or "preempting terror attacks."[15]

Weeks after the initial incident involving the British SAS soldiers in Basra, in October of 2005, it was reported that Americans were "captured in the act of setting off a car bomb in Baghdad," as, "A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday. … Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district [said] the people had apprehended the Americans as they left their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday afternoon. Local people found they looked suspicious so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they discovered that they were Americans and called the … police." However, "the Iraq police arrived at approximately the same time as allied military forces - and the two men were removed from Iraq custody and whisked away before any questioning could take place."[16]

It was reported that in May of 2005, an Iraqi man was arrested after witnessing a car bombing that took place in front of his home, as it was said he shot an Iraqi National Guardsman. However, "People from the area claim that the man was taken away not because he shot anyone, but because he knew too much about the bomb. Rumor has it that he saw an American patrol passing through the area and pausing at the bomb site minutes before the explosion. Soon after they drove away, the bomb went off and chaos ensued. He ran out of his house screaming to the neighbors and bystanders that the Americans had either planted the bomb or seen the bomb and done nothing about it. He was promptly taken away."

Further, another story was reported in the same month that took place in Baghdad when an Iraqi driver had his license and car confiscated at a checkpoint, after which he was instructed "to report to an American military camp near Baghdad airport for interrogation and in order to retrieve his license." After being questioned for a short while, he was told to drive his car to an Iraqi police station, where his license had been forwarded, and that he should go quickly. "The driver did leave in a hurry, but was soon alarmed with a feeling that his car was driving as if carrying a heavy load, and he also became suspicious of a low flying helicopter that kept hovering overhead, as if trailing him. He stopped the car and inspected it carefully. He found nearly 100 kilograms of explosives hidden in the back seat and along the two back doors. The only feasible explanation for this incident is that the car was indeed booby trapped by the Americans and intended for the al-Khadimiya Shiite district of Baghdad. The helicopter was monitoring his movement and witnessing the anticipated ‘hideous attack by foreign elements."[17]

That's just a sample from this article.

It all comes back to Ponerology. Our world is Ruled by Psychopaths, killers, murders, in short - demons. They have no conscience, no sense of guilt or sympathy, they only hunger for power and control over the lives of others. Those others, dear readers, is us. Until we realize it and refuse to believe their lies we’ll be their victims and willing patsies time and time again. This has been the history of our planet now for over five thousand years, gullible men and women of conscience believing the twisted logic and manipulations of the psychotic, I hope we all realize it before it’s too late.

What kills me about this whole torture epidemic is that if anyone here in the states goes out, bludgeon's some poor hapless fellow on the street, locks him or her up in their basement and proceeds to torture them via sleep deprivation, beatings, waterboarding, crushing their child's testicles in front of them - what have you, you get locked up! It doesn't matter if you claim the fellow is a "terrorist", it's still a crime, still punishable by years, hopefully decades, if not life behind bars. Yet when you systematically go about doing the same thing to thousands of people, some how that's justifiable?

Can some red-tie-wearing-whack-job explain to me how murder isn't murder when your government does it? How detaining thousands, without reason or justification, and then torturing them - some of them to death - isn't going to create a veritable army of pissed off Muslims ready to strap a bomb to their chest and wage jihad? I know if my brother was abducted, tortured, and then killed by a foreign power I'd be pretty willing to fight them - heck, that's the definition of evil. Then again, and this may be my inner conspiracy theorist, I bet they're doing this just to create an enemy. If we have ten thousand pissed off afghans then we have someone in the middle east to fight. If we have a fight on our hands we have a reason to send our boys over there to die, we have a reason to spend half a trillion dollars waging war every year, and that makes the bankers/weapons manufacturers and their pathocratic ilk very happy.

So to combat this insanity, these conscienceless monsters that rule our world and country, a bunch of us went out last night to protest Karl Rove's appearance @ Radio City. I was lucky enough to get a new toy for Cambodian New Year (Thanks Sam!) and so was able to take some video. The little doo-dad has software on it that let me do some rudimentary editing, so I managed to put a few movies together. The video's speak for themselves, hopefully you'll be inspired to come out on Thursday when we have the big she-bang protest @ Grand Central (hit me up for details)..

Taxi to the Darkside is an in-depth look at the US Torture policy since the dawn of the war of terror. Specifically it follows the tragic circumstances that ultimately lead to the death of an innocent Afghan named Daliwar. We follow a long, dark road into the US camps at Baghram and Guantanamo Bay, and are shown in stark detail what exactly our government has been doing to these detainees. It's explained that it's not just the 'really bad guys' that are subjected to 'enchanced interogation techniques' but all the individuals detained.

The torture exercised on these individuals is incomprehensible to the average person. Forced standing doesn't sound all that bad, but imagine being handcuffed to the ceiling of a small room, in the dark, for hours on end - unable to sleep due to the pain induced if you slacken your stance. Beatings that occur regularly, some which have resulted in the deaths of detainees. Nudity a near constant, as well as sexual humiliation which can range from sexual assault to forced sexual activity - including homosexuality, masturbation, and attiring the individual in women's clothes. There's even mention of crushing of a child's testicles, in front of his parents.

The real tragedy within the torture fiasco is that many still think this type of behavior is justified, that this is what we need to do to keep Americans safe. They've bought the lie hook, line and sinker, and I challenge any whom hold that position to see this film. If you defend torture you should at least acknowledge what it constitutes and this film gives the viewer a very real, unbiased discussion straight from the horses mouth.

We hear from the soldiers who were on the ground, who performed these techniques, we hear from lawyers on both sides of the argument and see the rational up close and personal. The politicians give their twisted logic and vague assertions, and we see the result right before our eyes as the film unfolds. In that respect I hold the film in high esteem, for it really does include everyone involved in the process and gives equal voice to the soldiers, commanders, victims, and their families.

The film itself was about twenty minutes too long, however at 106 minutes it comes in just under two hours. No longer then an ordinary feature film, but its graphic detail and visceral imagery is so intense the viewer will have a tumult of emotional shocks and reactions which make the film itself tough to bear. Personally I suffered bouts of anger, sadness, contempt and guilt - I shed tears at the end of the film and felt the need to discuss what I saw to process it fully. After viewing the film I recommend discussion, contemplation and a reacquaintance with nature - a walk in the park works wonders.

Overall an excellent work which blends research with art in an attempt to give to each viewer the crux of the matter. What we do with it, however, is up to each of us.

Reining In The Imperial Presidency: The Conyers Report and What YOU Can Do With It!
Laura Knight-Jadczyk
SOTT.net

ed, shocked, etc) and declare that such behavior is absolutely unacceptable in any way, shape, form or fashion. The problem is, as I mused while reading it, exactly what effect can it possibly have in a conclave of pathological types where the inmates have taken over the asylum? Probably not much.

Among the more interesting parts of the report are the Recommendations. (The "Findings" at the end of each section are pretty good too.) There are 50 separate recommendations that, if followed, would go some way toward putting the US government back on track. It wouldn't fix everything, of course, but it would at least clean out some of the more pathological elements in government. And that is why none of the recommendations are likely to be followed. (I have decided to at least publish the recommendations here on sott.net - you can figure out a lot of what the document reveals by reading these terse summations of what's wrong and how to fix it.)

Conyers comes right out and says that Obama ought to "finally begin an independent criminal review of activities of the outgoing Administration." So far, we don't see any sign of that happening! In fact, we see just the converse.

Poking about on the net, all I've seen is more of the same-old, same-old: "Let's put it behind us! Let's make nice and shove our dirty laundry under the rug!"

Conyers recommends to the Attorney General, Eric Holder:

The Attorney General should appoint a Special Counsel to determine whether there were criminal violations committed pursuant to Bush Administration policies that were undertaken under unreviewable war powers, including enhanced interrogation, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance. ... In this regard, the report firmly rejects the notion that we should move on from these matters."

What we see actually happening is that senior Democrats are definitely shy of a full-scale investigation, whether by a "truth commission" or a special prosecutor, into possible crimes committed under Dubya. The Repugnicans are, of course, adamantly against any inquiry. One wonders just how much stuff Dubya has on the whole gang of 'em as a result of his Illegal Wiretapping? (You don't have to be pathological to have dirty laundry!)

I think that Obama is really missing an opportunity to not only do the right thing, but to assure himself an honorable place in history by immediately launching dozens of independent investigations into a lot of things. (Of course, we suspect that he never had any intention of bringing real "change" to government anyway, I'm just speaking rhetorically here.) More than that, I think that Obama and the gang are really mis-reading the mood of the country. People do not WANT to "just get over it." They don't want to "put it all behind us." The American people - and the rest of the world - want blood! And, based on reports I've been reading, they will have blood one way or another. Not only are people "going bonkers" and killing everybody in sight at an unprecedented rate, Americans are arming themselves to the teeth.

Conyers is, at least, reading this signal accurately. In a statement posted on his website, the chairman writes:

...the administration still has much to do to restore the rule of law to its rightful place. A nonpartisan, independent accounting of what happened must take place, and the new administration must do more to roll back its predecessor's policies on issues ranging from signing statements to the state secrets privilege.

Following that, he notes:

I have noted press reports describing the criminal investigation being carried out by Judge Garzon of Spain. In the apparent absence of any independent criminal investigation of torture allegations being carried out in the U.S., and considering our obligations under the 1984 Convention Against Torture, I understand this step by a serious and respected jurist. In the end, however, it is America's obligation to police its own compliance with U.S. and international law.

The latest news is, of course, that there will be no Spanish prosecution. There are pathological people everywhere, even in Spain.

But in spite of the fact that the Spanish Initiative has failed, the people of the world - normal people with consciences - represented by civil liberties and human rights organizations and progressive groups, have been agitating for the US Congress to launch a serious, unbiased criminal investigation into the Bush administration. (I would suggest a completely new 9-11 investigation, too!) Much of this pressure has been focused on the fact that Bush and Cheney clearly sanctioned - and may even have directly ordered - torture. But, just in the past few days, Obama has made it pretty clear that he's going to follow the "Let's shove it all under the rug and put it behind us" school of political shenanigans. That, of course, suggests that Obama might just turn into a "Unitary Executive" himself. Maybe he likes what Bush did and plans to follow suit with a few token humanitarian gestures to palliate his worshipful followers? That's not so strange in the world of politics.

What to do?

I don't know if it is any comfort to anyone to know that there are, obviously, some people in Congress who can really see what's going on and know what ought to be done; the Conyers Report is evidence that this is so. Read it yourself, please, before you start ranting back at me! Unfortunately, they don't seem to be aware that what they are describing IS pathology - predators disguised as normal humans.

As to what to do to pressure the present administration to follow the recommendations of the report, I really can't think of anything that will get a bunch of compromised legislators off their black-mailed backsides and cut their own throats by investigating the gang that holds all the aces. Don't hold your breath.

The only thing that can possibly achieve anything at all is if the human population of this planet would become fully and accurately aware of pathology in politics and really join together to simply refuse to support it one instant longer. All our efforts should be focused on that one thing: to expose the Elite for what they mostly are: psychopaths, and expose that fact to the greatest depth possible, in a way that truly convinces people - even the fence-sitters - that if they do NOT do anything, the day will come when it is too late (and that day is fast approaching).

The clear conviction that we are being ruled by madmen should be enough to scare the bejeebies out of anybody - heck, it keeps me awake at night! And that fear of what will come (as it surely will) if nothing is done now, can be a powerful motivator for people to band together, to help one another, to educate one another, and to bear the hardships that will naturally come when everyone stops supporting the Pathocrats (pathological people in power). Remember that the hardships that are chosen are a lot easier to bear than the ones that are imposed upon us.

How to stop supporting them?

There are a number of ways, but none of them will work unless the vast majority of people join in. Only half isn't good enough. And to get the majority activated will require education about the real problem as I just mentioned. But, once people really recognize pathology in power, once they become free of the chains that bind their minds and hearts, then the artificially created barriers between this group and that group, will disappear and we will rediscover our common humanity and desire for a better world for our children.

So, if people could focus on the problem: psychopaths (and other pathologicals in power), here's what really might work.

A massive global strike of all normal human beings against Pathocrats would do the trick. If everyone simply refused to work for anybody who exhibited pathological traits - whether a government, a company or an individual - that would start a chain reaction that would strip the power away from the pathological minority that try to make us think that they - and their ideas - are normal and in the majority. Ever hear of the "Moral Majority"? Well, that was a complete scam; those people were neither moral nor were they a majority. They just were organized and very loud.

Imagine if all the normal people who work for the government (the majority, remember) simply walked out of their offices and refused to be the bureaucratic drones for a corrupt government elite? All the secretaries, administrators, bookkeepers, clerks, and so on? Imagine if all the normal humans working for the power companies decided to just turn off the power that runs the homes and offices and businesses of the pathological elite? Imagine if normal journalists with principles and a realization of what we are really facing would join with citizens on the street to take over the major networks so that the control of news was restored to the people? Imagine if all teachers who understand that government should not be interfering in education just sent their pupils home with letters explaining that parents should keep their children at home until the government is forced to hand over the needed funds for schools and agrees to keep their nose out of telling teachers how to do their job? (Assuming that the teachers are qualified, of course). Imagine what would happen if everyone stopped paying their credit card bills, their mortgages, took all their money out of the big banks and put it in credit unions or created new credit unions? And so on. I'm sure you can imagine many more similar scenarios!

See, there are all kinds of ways to simply pull the plug on pathocrats that are pretty much non-violent and enormously effective! We don't have to wait until there is some sort of "trigger" to violence or revolution. We don't have to wait for the "last straw" which we know, of course, is coming. Why wait until people are so angry that they act in ways that are not well-considered, ways that bring down horrible Weapons of Mass Destruction on their own heads? Because don't think for a moment that the real danger out there is from crazy Islamists that "hate our freedoms." Oh, no! The people who really "hate our freedoms" are pathological and they are in power all over the globe with rare exceptions. No, indeed, if there is going to be any use of WMDs, it will be done to us by our own governments.

In the meantime, how about reading and then printing out copies of the 400+ page Conyers Report and mail it to your Congresspersons with a letter demanding that they back the recommendations. Can you imagine if 200 million U.S. citizens printed that door-stopper and mailed it to Washington???

That actually makes me smile.

I was warned thoroughly when I told my friends about my upcoming attendence to the infamous Black Party. Fisting, Fetish, Freaks, Sex shows, orgies, propositioning, drugs, violence, cutting, blood drinking, and last year some guy actually lost his bowel control in ass-less chaps and shat on the dance floor.

Needless to say - I was psyched. I bought new denim & some armbands, borrowed a leather harness, and got the cutest eye makeup from Barney's (thanks Brian!). I took like two hours to get ready, with most of that being the damned eye makeup - Ladies you get madd props for putting up with that shit. To give you a mental picture (because I don't have a real one), I smoked out my eyes, spiked my hair, strapped on the harness and two armbands (just above my biceps), had form-fitting diesel jeans which were a smoky grey color with random washings and combat boots.

I head over around 1130, get in, and meet my friends really quickly. A buncha the ladies were there, some dodgeballerz and some big gay snowboarders, old friends and new ones. We case the place, drink, pee, drink, pee, dance, talk, drink, pee. At one point I think I saw a performance where some naked young gentleman was tied up against a fence while another semi-clad young gentleman proceeded to spank, slap, kiss, lick him. It was a little tame to be honest.

That, unfortunately - was the only performance I happened to see. I mean, unless you count the random people wearing body-stockings all groping eachother in a fence-cage. Again, tame. I mean, there was 'live sex' in the corridor upstairs, very seedy, I saw fucking, sucking, jerking, but it wasn't cute, sexy, or entertaining. I mean the flyer had a snake comin outta a guy's rectum - who doesn't want to see that once in their life!?

The clientel itself was varied. I saw boys that looked like they were 14 (though they were thankfully rare), and one older gentlemen who had his leather bondage gear but needed a cane to support himself as he walked around. The men were like anywhere else, mostly okay, a few hotties and a few scurries. For myself it seemed like all the hotties I bumped into had boyfriends or were my friends already.

The music was darkcore with a bit of house/dance thrown in randomly and not nearly often enough. I mean, for a party attempting to garner a younger audience you think they'd play the music we like. But no. None of that fun good shit, we just get a pounding bass line with bad rhythm all night long. And don't get me wrong here - I like electronic music, but this was boring, redundant, and honestly it sounded like the same song all night long. That said I did have a few fun moments on the dance floor, we'd happen to catch a change of pace, but then it'd go back to shit and we'd look at eachother with "Well, now what?" faces.

At around 5am I gave up on the music improving, or actually getting to see a crazy live performance, and we bailed around 530. Perhaps the craziness continued and got more insane as the morning arrived and afternoon progressed, actually its 2:48pm on Sunday at this writing, and the party is still ongoing I believe. However, I don't do those drugs, so there's no way I'm partying for more then 5 hours.

In summary, I was entertained by my friends all night. It was great to see cute people dressed up in leather and having a good time. The party itself failed to deliver on multiple accounts: music, performances, I thought it had three rooms and there was only one? - and for $120 a ticket (not what I paid) that's a pretty big failure. I wouldn't go back, not because it's not my scene, or it's too scary, I wouldn't go back because it's a boring party and there's not nearly enough hot available guys to keep me interested. Fire Island should be MUCH more interesting.

Following the conflict in Gaza can bring some serious emotions forward. First of all, there's the consistent reporting of murdered children, which has been giving me simultaneous bouts of anger and sadness. If that's not enough, there's the pictures:









Just going through them to select a few makes my eyes well up with tears, and then the anger hits - I recall the justifications used by the Zio-Apologista (those who consistently defend Israel's Bloodlust as legitimate or 'self defense'), that this is a war or that Hamas is launching rockets from babies cribs... it makes me sick. Israel has been, and will continue to be dominated by a clique of Psychopaths and other psychological deviants that seek destruction because it is their nature. They influence the weak-minded members of their population to follow their insane agenda and whom believe their lies and justifications and we get 260 dead children and counting as the result.

By Their Fruits you Shall Know Them Matthew 7:16

Its not just children that are dying, we have all Gazan's suffering....



Homes destroyed...



Police killed, supposedly 'rockets were coming from the station'....



Family members lost... and worse....



Entire Families Murdered.

All to satiate the blood lust of Yahweh, the demonic god of the old testament. The psychopathic god who installs his psychopathic proxies in governments around the world, including ours, who dines on our misery and feasts on our hate. It's events like these that come across as a feeding frenzy for the hyperdimensional denizens that silently run earth.

I'm glad there seems to be enough people of conscience to protest and combat this insanity through peaceful means. But it does seem like we are in the minority, an on top of that the authorities are siding with violent extremists. That's no surprise in a pathocracy like Israel or the US.



Thanks to TB for the chart above.

Speaking of my nation, the supposed beacon of freedom.... we're sending Israel more weapons so she can kill more babies. As if our tax dollars weren't soaked in blood already.

And I'm spent. I hope you all get an opportunity to read this before it's too late.

But Political Ponerology presents the subject in a radically different way from other texts about psychopathy, suggesting that the influence of psychopaths and other deviants isn't just one of many influences working on society, but, under the appropriate circumstances, can be the primary influence that shapes the way we live, what we think, and how we judge what is going on around us. When you understand the true nature of that influence, that it is conscienceless, emotionless, selfish, cold and calculating, and devoid of any moral or ethical standards, you are horrified, but at the same time everything suddenly begins to makes sense. Our society is ever more soulless because the people who lead it and who set the example are soulless - they literally have no conscience.

When you come to understand that the reins of political and economic power are in the hands of people who have no conscience, who have no capacity for empathy, it opens up a completely new way of looking at what we call "evil". Evil is no longer only a moral issue; it can now be analyzed and understood scientifically.

Laura: With Łobaczewski, the word "Ponerology" has been reclaimed from its religious connotations where it never did society as a whole much good, and is the science of evil, of understanding its origins scientifically, and how it can infect individuals and societies like a disease.

When psychopaths are the policy makers in government and the CEOs of big business, the way they think and reason - their 'morality' - becomes the common culture and 'morality' of the population over which they preside. When this happens, the mind of the population is infected in the way a pathogen infects a physical body. The only way to protect ourselves against this pathological thinking is to inoculate ourselves against it, and that is done by learning as much as possible about the nature of psychopathy and its influence on us. Essentially, this particular 'disease' thrives in an environment where its very existence is denied, and this denial is planned and deliberate.

Recently I've been engaged in an enlightening discourse on a seed I planted at Newsvine. I've been somewhat active on the 'vine, and for awhile now have noticed that there seem to be some rather trollish individuals who staunchly defend the government of Israel and it's actions re: the Palestinian Question. One thing that seems to be continuous across the spectrum is that no matter what information is presented, the argument is shifted (hijacked), data is denied, and statements of fact are labeled 'inflammatory', 'derogatory' or my personal favorite, 'anti-semitic'.

On that thread I linked above, you'll notice that the second comment was from a poster who immediately uses the 'anti-semite' slur in the first line of his/her post. He/she also states: "Hamas is targeting the crossings."

This implies that Hamas is enforcing the Israeli blockade, right? If you read this comment correctly, in context - the speaker is claiming that is it Hamas who is preventing supplies from being delivered - not Israel. Personally I found that statement to be absurd, and thus my reply.

Then another poster jumped in and supplied 'ample evidence' that Hamas is targeting the crossings. I visited the links, and found most of them to be relatively old, the blockade was only recently stepped up to cut off food, medicine and fuel (November 4th). The only one that was recent gives us details of the on-goings in Gaza - but since reporters have been denied access to the strip, I was left doubting the credibility of the information.

There was also an attempt to use this article to demonstrate Hamas is 'targetting the crossings'. When you visit the link you'll see that they are indeed engaging in violence at the crossings, but that their target is the occupying regime, not humanitarian aid.

"The attack on Kerem Shalom is the beginning of breaking the siege," Abu O'baida said, adding that Hamas "is not interested in targeting Gaza crossings, and the targets will be always the Israeli soldiers."

This point is key, the crux of the matter, and it seems that when pushed to realize some individuals are incapable. So when individuals claim that Hamas is targetting the crossings they are only correct as long as they realize their targets are the Israeli Occupying Forces - which is convienently left out of the discussion most of the time it is brought up.

I recently seeded this article as well, it discusses denial and 9-11 and how our minds allow us, when confronted with emotionally uncomfortable information, to deny the facts and create a 'world-view' that effectively lets us believe what we wish.

Learning about self-deception is important for all people today. That’s because many of our problems, both as individuals and as a society, are rooted in self-deception, and many of the ways in which others abuse us relate to our inherent tendency to self-deceive. We can overcome these problems, and have a decent chance at long-term survival as a species, only if we learn about such limitations, and strive to control them.

...

Hirstein [author of Brain Fiction: Self Deception and the Riddle of Confabulation] explains that normal thinking patterns involve the creation of multiple mental representations for any given situation, which can be either image-like or concept-like in nature. Those representations that are false, or that do not fit with our sense of reality, are culled out before being articulated, by a checking process. Sometimes these critical checking processes do not work, and the affected person can lie easily and with full belief that the false statements he or she is making are in fact true. In those cases, the person is said to be confabulating. But when the checking processes do work, and for whatever reasons false claims are still made, tension is created and the person is considered to be self-deceived.

Coincidentally the very same phenomenon was on display here, and in real-time we can watch the mental maneuvers made in order to avoid realization of the truth. This is also part and parcel of Political Ponerology, and thus SOTT's comment attached at the end of this article bears repeating:

In his seminal work, Political Ponerology: A Science on The Nature of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes, Andrew M. Lobaczewski examines in depth and in length the psychological constructs of self-deception, as well as the pathocratic elite's spellbinding abilities. He discusses how common people's minds create moralizing interpretations when confronted with pathological actions, in an attempt to make sense of something so out of their human nature, unfortunately resulting in permitting

'these [pathological] factors to continue their ponerogenic activities, both within ourselves and others. Nothing poisons the human soul and deprives us of our capacity to understand reality more objectively than this very obedience to that common human tendency to take a moralistic view of human behaviour.'

And so our humaneness is also our weakness in the hands of pathological individuals. Really, how easy is for anyone to first understand and then accept that their own government murdered thousands of its citizens in order to create a reason to invade and destroy another country and its citizens? And even though the official story of 911 is full of holes, the arrogant and self-assured lies and paramoralisms spelled by the psychopathic rulers and distributed through the mainstream media, cause the phenomenon of reversive blockade in the minds of those uneducated in human psychology and studies on pathologies. From Lobaczewski:

'Reversive blockade: Emphatically insisting upon something which is the opposite of truth blocks the average person's mind from perceiving the truth. In accordance with the dictates of healthy common sense, he starts searching for meaning in the "golden mean" between the truth and its opposite, winding up with some satisfactory counterfeit. People who think like this do not realize that this effect is precisely the intent of the person who subjects them to this method... Use of this method can be included within the [previously] mentioned special psychological knowledge developed by psychopaths concerning the weaknesses of human nature and the art of leading others into error.'

The spellbinders and snake charmers can and do lie insistently in order to meet their plans. But what about us? Why is it that we can't see the truth even if it's under our noses? Again Lobaczewski gives the answer through psychological phenomena:

'Information selection and substitution: [...] unconscious psychological processes outstrip conscious reasoning, both in time and in scope which makes many psychological phenomena possible: including those generally described as conversive, such as subconscious blocking out of conclusions, the selection, and, also, substitution of seemingly uncomfortable premises.

[...]

This is a primitive prevention of personality disintegration, which may seem advantageous; however, it also prevents all the advantages which could be derived from consciously elaborated conclusion and reintegration. A conclusion thus rejected remains in our subconscious and in a more unconscious way causes the next blocking and selection of this kind. This can be extremely harmful, progressively enslaving a person to his own subconscious, and is often accompanied by a feeling of tension and bitterness.

We speak of selection of premises whenever the feedback goes deeper into the resulting reasoning and from its database thus deletes and represses into the subconscious just the piece of information which was responsible for arriving at the uncomfortable conclusion'

So in summation it was enlightening and yet severely disturbing to witness the subtle maneuvers made by the individuals in order to avoid the realization that something terrible is happening in Gaza, that innocent people are suffering, dieing - or worse - because the political and economic masters of Israel want it that way. It's eerily similar to the maneuvers made when one considers 9-11, and after seeing all the facts on the ground, cannot conclude that individuals in the government and in our military were involved in planning and executing the attacks. As an citizen of planet Earth, it behooves all of us to studying this phenomenon and gain an understanding of it, because if we and our brethren are capable of denying the most horrible atrocities, then we are logically doomed to suffer them ourselves.

So this morning I caught this article, which reads, in part

New rules published in the Federal Register would allow certain civilians to call American soldiers into action inside the U.S. to prevent environmental damage or respond to "special events" and "other domestic activities."

The alarming warning is contained in proposed rules published last week for the Department of Defense's "Defense Support of Civil Authorities" plan.

Under the U.S. Constitution, soldiers inside the country essentially are tasked with the responsibility of quelling "insurrections" and repelling invasions as well as making sure each state has access to the republican form of government.

But the new rules go far beyond that, essentially establishing a plan to activate the U.S. military inside the country to deal with social issues under provisions that appear to be devoid of any connection to the Constitution, according to an expert.

Disturbia! Disturbia-a-a!

It's very bizarre, though interestingly there is a way to send your comments into the DoD if you want your voice heard on this particular plan. If you read the rest of the article you'll find this link, which takes you to the page where you can search for the plan and submit a comment up till Feb 2nd. The name is "Defense Support of Civil Authorities" type that in the search box and it's the first one to come up.

Don't give them your address, but your name and city should be enough. Here's what I had to say about it:

I just wanted y'all to know that this plan is a bad idea. Specifically it has no
constitutional protections for the rights of the people, and it violates the
spirit of Posse Comitas as well as Habeus Corpus. We should NEVER have the
military being used as a police force - that is what the police are for, further
the military is trained to wage war - not protect 'special events' or 'other
domestic activities'.

The plan states, "This proposed rule will allow civil authorities access to the
correct procedures when they are seeking assistance from the Department by
establishing updated policy guidance and assigning the correct responsibilities
within the Department for the Defense for support of civil authorities in
response to requests for assistance for domestic emergencies, designated law
enforcement support, special events, and other domestic activities."

Which is completely unclear, and disturbing when one ponders what this means to
the rights of protesters, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

I urge you strongly to reject this plan, and anything like it that does not
guarantee the rights of the people as sacrosanct.

I found the below while reading a lengthy article and thought it deserved special attention, since it points out the history of our nation, and gives it clarity one cannot get without digging, it may enlighten the reader as to why our system of finances and government has become so entrenched with moneyed interests - and thus become a corrupt tool of the elite. Begin quote:
America

However, in America these ideas took root and ultimately bore fruit in the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The rights of men were considered to be natural rights, from Locke amongst others, and therefore not subject to the will of men. Central among these rights is the right of revolution. The Declaration of Independence begins:-

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

The ethical and moral nature of the Declaration of Independence stands as a shining example of the potential of ordinary people to organise for themselves representative and just government and the basis that such government can either be maintained, or overthrown, should the need ultimately arise.

There are however more sober lessons to be gleaned from events following the Revolutionary War. As Laura Knight Jadczyk put it:-

Contrary to popular conceptions and teachings, the American Revolution did not create the American nation as we know it today. The Articles of Confederation actually bound thirteen new nations, each theoretically sovereign in its own right, into a loose confederacy. The Continental Congress could legislate but not enforce. However, the effects of the Revolution had been financially disastrous to everyone. The national and state debts went unpaid (monies owed to the wealthy elite who had financed the war - and for those who wonder, yes, some were Jews and some were not, so don't go off on the Jews on this one!), trade declined and credit collapsed.

Left to their own devices, the New Americans would have eventually sorted these problems out based upon emerging priorities and systems involving barter and mutually satisfying personal agreements. A real Democracy might have flourished, though it wouldn't have been necessarily Capitalistic.

Tradition teaches us that a group of "noble patriots" called a Constitutional Convention to "further the principles of democracy", as spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. Again, nothing could be further from the truth.

The Constitution actually checked the development of democracy.

In some of the states, a moratorium on debt was enacted to relieve the farmers who had fought in the war. But, in the largest and wealthiest states, the planters of Virginia, the manor lords of New York, and the merchants of Massachusetts and Connecticut, refused to give an inch. Massachusetts went so far as to prohibit barter and mutual support schemes to which the impoverished returning soldiers had been forced to resort. Daniel Shay, a Revolutionary captain who had been cited for bravery at Bunker Hill, had come out of the war, as had many others, with nothing. (General Lafayette had presented him with a sword which he was soon forced to sell.) Seeing so many others like himself, he was filled with the injustice of the actions of the wealthy elite. He organized a force of 800 farmers and attempted to prevent the sitting of the courts which were foreclosing the properties of the returning soldiers. Shay's army was dispersed by the state militia but his action thoroughly frightened the upper classes. Samuel Adams begged Congress for federal aid to protect "property rights" and Congress authorized a force designed to prevent any further rebellion. General Henry Knox wrote:

"The people who are the insurgents have never paid any, or but very little taxes -- But they see the weakness of government'... They feel at once their own poverty, compared with the opulent, and their own force, and they are determined to make use of the latter, in order to remedy the former. Their creed is 'That the property of the United States has been protected from the confiscations of Britain by the joint exertions of all, and therefore ought to be the common property of all. And he that attempts opposition to this creed is an enemy to equity and justice, and ought to be swept from the face of the earth.' In a word they are determined to annihilate all debts public and private and have agrarian laws, which are easily effected by means of unfunded paper money which shall be a tender in all cases whatsoever."

Now notice what the good general was saying: he tells us that the PEOPLE of the new land wanted - demanded - that the property of the United States be "the common property of all."

That sounds a bit "Socialistic," doesn't it. Can you believe it? Our forefathers demanded a Socialist government! I don't know about you, but I have half a dozen Revolutionary War soldiers (or more) in my family tree, and it surprised me to learn that my ancestors were demanding Socialism, especially when we all know - or have been told - that Socialism is that evil first step toward Communism; and we all know how evil Communism is, right? Well, we'll come back to this. For now, let me just comment that the "insurgents" may have paid very little taxes, but they paid much blood. (It is also interesting to note that Knox referred to the New Americans as "insurgents." Isn't this word being used pejoratively against those Iraqis who are opposing the US invasion of their country at the present time? My, my

End Quote.

So while we're bombarded by reminders of economic disaster, encouraged to shop till we drop for the holidaze, and slowly having our rights leaked away, I found the above to be a crucial reminder of our history as a nation, and of what the people who fought and died really desired.

Here's a big clue on what really happened in India. I suggest you read all three parts, the more info's the clearer the picture becomes. He's not even done writing the series yet, but I'm gonna take a guess at where he's going.

I'll give a quick summary though in case you're interested, but short on time. Basically 25-100 young men, the exact number still unclear, of unclear origin wearing jeans, tee shirts and backpacks attacked thirteen various locations throughout Mumbai, India. They were looking for men and women with American & British passports, oddly enough. That peeked my interest because awhile back sott carried an old story about Mossad trying to gank Aussie passports.

Really, when you start to dig into this whole global terror nonsense the major player that comes up is the Mossad. It has a crazy history of false flag ops, two in which they tried to blame Israeli attacks on American navel vessels on Egypt. Google the USS Liberty if you want the deets.

You also have the former Italian President coming out and saying, straight up, "9-11 carried out by the Mossad & CIA". You could also read 9-11, The Ultimate Truth if you want some more deets on that particular angle.

Overall this whole War on Terror thing is a sham, a smoke and mirrors bit put on by the psychopaths behind the curtain. If you haven't figured that out yet you're not paying attention or apathetic. I really can understand either, the problem is these chickens are coming home to roost, and it won't be too long until they start trying to pull this nonsense here. The more educated we are the better prepared we are for what's coming. I just hope enough of us are ready when it happens.

Update!!! Sott just did an excellent piece on it from their editors: Connecting the Dots: The War of Terror and Zionism take the Lead

I'm not sure where to start, the recent Phillies craze has been palpable the last twenty four hours. I'm happy they won the world series, but the excitement surrounding the event seems like an awful waste of energy and attention. People were partying in the streets last night, getting drunk in the bars, driving around honking their horns and shouting... why, exactly?

I understand it's been a long time since they've won, and everyone loves a good distraction, but this is just childish. I don't want to take anyone to task, or sound condescending, but there have been fireballs over the mid west and the north east USA as well as earthquakes in Pennsylvania of all places, and all this in the last week. Definitely supporting Clube's Hypothesis that we may be in for a cosmic shower of the rocky-explosive type.

Halloween's tomorrow night, and I know all over the US people will be celebrating, drinking, eating candy and merry-making and as I see it I get this visceral image of the band playing as the titanic sinks. Our entire country is burning - our rights melting away.

There's the story of Seyed Mousavi, a US citizen who happens to have an Iranian heritage, imprisoned on false charges concocted because he is a Muslim and spread his faith through community service and a nonprofit organization.

Then there's the economic collapse - which was obviously engineered and timed to go off just now. It's patently absurd - the things they say on the TV - that no one could have predicted it, that it's just greed gone out of control. It was a systematic disabling of the protections (read regulation) we've installed since the 1929 crash to prevent the same from happening again. This is all discussed in a great two-parter, Part One & Part Two.

There's the fact that voting in this country is being messed with, again, mostly by republican fanatics. I heard stories at work of kids down at Drexel being disenfranchised from voting, being told that if they park near the voting centers with out of state tags - they'll be towed! That they can't vote in PA if they're from out of state for college! And this is just at one school in Philadelphia. That's neglecting the stories of the early voting nightmares - people would hit the 'All Democrat' button and the machine would select 'All Republican' votes. This didn't just happen once, but multiple times in different states - direct evidence that the electronic machines are being tampered with. Given 2000 and 2004 you didn't think 2008 was going to be any different did you?

On top of that - we have the U.S. Northern Command's (NORTHCOM) deployment of the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Combat Brigade Team (BCT) on U.S. soil for "civil unrest" and "crowd control" duties in direct violation of Posse Comitas. They're also allowed to use lethal and non-lethal ordinance, the most talked about nonlethal weapon being the microwave beam cannon and boils the water in your skin, and the new data that shows the weapon can cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns. It makes me think they're being brought home for deployment after the next false flag 'terror' attack. They take their orders from the President, by the way, and do you think he'll step down by Jan 20th if Obama wins and we have a 'major terrorist attack' between now and then?

That's just one possible hell out of many.

And then I read this story, which breaks my heart. It really smacks me silly because it's become common knowledge that 'Iraq is getting better' and 'We're moving into Afghanistan now' and 'the surge worked'.... all lies. We're occupiers. I don't think many Americans feel that way, but it's the truth. Our tax dollars fund and support an occupation of a foreign nation. The murder of their rights, and their lives. I feel guilty, but I don't know many other people who do.

We also attacked Syria as part of our 'offensive defensive' strategy, aka The Bush Doctrine. Don't worry - only 'foreign fighters' were killed.... including four children. Kucinich has a point in his bit, the timing is awfully funny - given we're less then a week away from the election.

If there's no other link ya follow from the above, I would urge you to read this one: The Trick of the Psychopath's Trade: Making us Believe evil comes from others. It's an in-depth discussion of the book Political Ponerology and gives you knowledge that will help you see through the charade, the media blitz of lies and bullshit and it will give you an edge in the days to come.

Good luck, and Godspeed... to us all.

If you've been following the news you've noticed the continued drop in the DOW - not that it's indicative of anything other then how the system's controllers are able to cause a crisis - but that should be a big clue as to what they have planned for our not-so-distant future. There's a been a plethora of discussion on the net, and the wide variety of topics that are seemingly converging should give the reader pause to ponder what these events mean for your future, and the future of your family.

First I direct you to the words of Cynthia McKinney, who's a favorite politician of mine. Her constant attempts to seek the truth of the matter, and to share that truth fly in the face of politicians today. In this video she explains that 5,000 people were executed in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. Their crime? Unknown. If the men that ordered that execution got away with it once, you can bet they'd do it again. This time it could be you or someone you love.

To further examine that point, I quote this article:

the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing "unruly individuals," and the management of a national emergency.

American soldiers, under Bush's direct command are now in the US in case they need to subdue 'unruly individuals'?! Does that sound like protester management to anyone else? Especially considering how 'unruly' some of us might get if Bush decides to stay in office. Perhaps the economic crisis worsens, or perhaps we have another convenient 'terrorist attack', be a perfect time to bring those concentration camps online, no?

Just take a look at the this short interview Naomi Wolf had with retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and patriot David Antoon (from the same article quoted above):

"If the President directed the First Brigade to arrest Congress, what could stop him?"

"Nothing. Their only recourse is to cut off funding. The Congress would be at the mercy of military leaders to go to them and ask them not to obey illegal orders."

"But these orders are now legal?'"

"Correct."

"If the President directs the First Brigade to arrest a bunch of voters, what would stop him?"

"Nothing. It would end up in courts but the action would have been taken."

"If the President directs the First Brigade to kill civilians, what would stop him?"

"Nothing."

"What would prevent him from sending the First Brigade to arrest the editor of the Washington Post?"

"Nothing. He could do what he did in Iraq -- send a tank down a street in Washington and fire a shell into the Washington Post as they did into Al Jazeera, and claim they were firing at something else."

"What happens to members of the First Brigade who refuse to take up arms against U.S. citizens?"

"They'd probably be treated as deserters as in Iraq: arrested, detained and facing five years in prison. In Iraq a study by Ann Wright shows that deserters -- reservists who refused to go back to Iraq -- got longer sentences than war criminals."

"Does Congress have any military of their own?"

"No. Congress has no direct control of any military units. The Governors have the National Guard but they report to the President in an emergency that he declares."

"Who can arrest the President?"

"The Attorney General can arrest the President after he leaves or after impeachment."

[Note: Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi has asserted it is possible for District Attorneys around the country to charge President Bush with murder if they represent districts where one or more military members who have been killed in Iraq formerly resided.]

"Given the danger do you advocate impeachment?"

"Yes. President Bush struck down Posse Comitatus -- which has prevented, with a penalty of two years in prison, U.S. leaders since after the Civil War from sending military forces into our streets -- with a 'signing statement.' He should be impeached immediately in a bipartisan process to prevent the use of military forces and mercenary forces against U.S. citizens"

"Should Americans call on senior leaders in the Military to break publicly with this action and call on their own men and women to disobey these orders?"

"Every senior military officer's loyalty should ultimately be to the Constitution. Every officer should publicly break with any illegal order, even from the President."

"But if these are now legal. If they say, 'Don't obey the Commander in Chief,' what happens to the military?"

"Perhaps they would be arrested and prosecuted as those who refuse to participate in the current illegal war. That's what would be considered a coup."

"But it's a coup already."

"Yes."

It really all starts to come together, especially when you consider Dominionism and it's connections to the republican party. It's as if the Psychopaths behind the curtain saw their opportunity for a massive land-grab in christianity, as far back as the 80s and have since been instituting a gradual takeover of that ideology to suit their power-seeking goals.

We are at the mercy of The Decider, who is manipulated from behind the scenes by unelected neo-Straussian thugs (Read Psychopaths) lusting for the matrix of a One World Order. They are joined by Christo-fascists soiling themselves at the thought of gaining dominion over the government apparatus and realizing their dream of stoning gays and liberals to death, and by rapacious corporations intent on ransacking the universe until it is stripped of all treasure and resources.

Although their agendae differ, this greedy axis shares a single goal -- that of complete power and control -- an area where morality dies aborning. They also share one other critical attribute -- they are aggressively anti-American -- traitors contemptuous of representative democracy who will not rest until every last vestige of it is wiped from the face of the earth.

The war they are waging is on us.

We have lost much over the past five years, but nothing as profound as our spirituality. The religious among us are little more than blind sheep milling around, stumbling in single file in the direction of the loudest voice blaring from Tower of Babel churches and media ministries. They are unable to discern good from evil and incapable of recognizing the filthy hypocrisy of the religious right's fundamentalist theocracy. And there are more of them every day -- God's warriors eagerly following the divinely inspired Bush into a dark world of assassination, torture, murder and madness.

They've been spying on us like there's no tomorrow, and now in Britain, they're legislature floating around to imbibe every email, text, call and web traffic into a massive database. They want to track everything they do. The implications are startling.

Bush's secret spy program is designed for activities not covered by FISA's copious security blanket. It is now apparent that these activities include using the vast powers of federal, state and local governments to spy on the Bush Administration's perceived political "enemies" - a vast group, given that the Bushist definition of an "enemy" is anyone who opposes any of their policies.

Again, we must note that the Democratic presidential candidate voted for the measure which "legitimized" this program. Therefore it seems highly unlikely that he will suddenly act to overturn it or de-legitimize it once he is in office -- much less prosecute any of the perpetrators of this vast criminality. It goes without saying that John McCain will also embrace this program, and all other accelerations of the Total Security State now descending upon us.

And that point becomes even more salient when you examine the revelations of these two NSA whistleblowers.

"These were just really everyday, average, ordinary Americans who happened to be in the Middle East, in our area of intercept and happened to be making these phone calls on satellite phones," said Adrienne Kinne, a 31-year old US Army Reserves Arab linguist assigned to a special military program at the NSA's Back Hall at Fort Gordon from November 2001 to 2003.

Kinne described the contents of the calls as "personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism."

She said US military officers, American journalists and American aid workers were routinely intercepted and "collected on" as they called their offices or homes in the United States.

Watch "World News Tonight with Charles Gibson" and "Nightline" for more of Brian Ross' exclusive report.

Another intercept operator, former Navy Arab linguist, David Murfee Faulk, 39, said he and his fellow intercept operators listened into hundreds of Americans picked up using phones in Baghdad's Green Zone from late 2003 to November 2007.

"Calling home to the United States, talking to their spouses, sometimes their girlfriends, sometimes one phone call following another," said Faulk.

The accounts of the two former intercept operators, who have never met and did not know of the other's allegations, provide the first inside look at the day to day operations of the huge and controversial US terrorist surveillance program.

Along with the rabidly anti-muslim DVD that's been circulating in swing states, and the chemical attack on a Mosque in Dayton it's becoming ever so clear where our country is heading. No election (assuming there is one - which is doubtful) will change that. Be prepared for a McCain win this November, obviously the results will be highly dubious. No doubt our mainstream media will present a 'fair and balanced' view of the events indicating that 'there was no irregularity, it was just a really close election'. And when the citizenry has had enough, when they're having trouble heating their homes, feeding their kids and stomaching this grossly inhuman agenda being heaped upon us from the Psychopaths on high, they'll protest, riot and revolt and when that happens we'll see the true face of this repressive regime.

Get ready folks, revelation is arriving and we can't escape it's reach...

A heady tome of knowledge and philosophy which gives an understanding of reality heretofore hidden by modern science.

PD Ouspensky is one hell of an interesting author. His other works include In Search of the Miraculous and The Fourth Way which are two deep and probing works in and of themselves. Tertium Organum is a very solid piece of work, that is understandable but quite cerebal. It isn't for those satisfied with the explanations presented in pop philosophy like 'The Secret' and will definitely take you some time to process.

His explanations start with our understanding of reality and how it's merely a byproduct of our cognitive hardware. We're given an analysis of 'positivist philosophy' (modern science) as well as several authors of his day including Kant and Hinton and how science missed it's mark when it attempts to investigate the causes of phenomenon we experience. The book itself was written in the early 20th century, but amazingly, it offers an incredible presentation that holds true to this day.

Ouspensky demonstrates the probable perceptions of one dimensional and two dimensional life forms, a snail and a dog would be respective examples, and how for them, anything existing in in higher dimensions would for them lie in time. Matter and motion are also discussed in detail, and the inherent illusions we perceive as actual fact. From there we're shown how human perception is three dimensional and yet all of our perceptions occur in 'time'. His discussion of time demonstrates it to be not an objective phenomenon, but a failing or weakness in our ability to perceive objective reality.

We're then given a 'spatial understanding of time' which would lead us to conclude that there is in fact, a fourth dimension of space which we are not capable of experiencing directly. World renown physicists and scholars are quoted to back up his argument. Discussion of this fourth spatial dimension takes up most of the first half of the book, and is a recurrent theme throughout.

Occultism, Love and Death are all discussed as essential toward achieving a higher understanding. Metaphor, Poetry and Art are used as examples of conveying higher truths. Although, unfortunately, our language is shown to be horribly incapable of conveying these concepts in their objective form and thus we are shown the words of great poets and philosophers who convey truth through allegory and prose.

Ouspensky also demonstrates a living, breathing universe filled with purpose and life, not the dead matter that we experience through the incomplete sensations of our five senses. We're shown to be a part of a whole, but also to be that whole. We are the world and a part of it, and this concept is discussed in depth, as it makes no sense in our everyday three dimensional logic.

The sensation of infinity, the loss of everything real, the growth of a new perceptual apparatus and new understanding of reality are imparted, and it allows the reader to catch a glimmer of what reality truly is, what we as individuals truly are. Loss of self-importance, or identification with the self as a singular entity is also approached and encouraged, as it is the primary way in which perception of objective reality is hidden from our minds.

Deep and probing, mysterious and surreal, Tertium Organum is a book unlike any other I have read, and yet the opportunity to become more then what we are is discussed and presented to the reader if he or she is capable of making that leap. Not a book for everyone, but definitely for those seeking the keys to understand their existence, themselves, their world.

William Bramley's tome, Gods of Eden, is an excellent examination of our world, its hidden history, and the causes of today's tragic circumstance.

Originally released in 1989, Gods of Eden is a critical look back at our history. It starts in in ancient times and gradually moves forward, giving us information and analysis that we never would have expected. Bramley examines ancient texts, reviewing the UFO phenomenon as it presented itself in pre-history. He interprets writings in a much more literal fashion then most historians and fails to excuse their words as metaphor, nonsense or hysterical babble. For example, he quotes the bible in several parts, and demonstrates that the appearance of 'God' in several passages is marked by thundering, smoke, or strange aerial phenomenon:

...there were thunders and lightenings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the sound of the trumphet was exceedingly loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled.

And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

And Mount Sinai was altogether covered with smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke from the fire billowed upwards like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. - Genesis 19:16-19

If an ancient Hebrew were to observe the rumbling, smoke and flame of a modern rocketship, the description would not have been much different than this Biblical narrative of Jehovah. A later visit by Jehovah contained the same phenomena:

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightenings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they moved away and stood far off. Genesis 20:18

Lest it be assumed that these descriptions might be of a volcano, further sightings reveal that Jehovah was a moving object:

And the Lord travelled before them [the Hebrew tribes] by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, or the pillar of fire by night, from in front of the people. Exodus 13:21-22

Thus Bramley argues it was a custodial race (extra-terrestrials, higher life forms, or perhaps humans with advanced technology left over from prior great civilizations) that formed the basis of the ancient Hebrew religion. He gives bits from the Sumerians as well as ancient Mayans and Aztecs which demonstrate similar phenomenon took place and again, the instigators labeled themselves gods.

We're shown how they perverted Christs teachings merely a few centuries after his death, and how they were perverted to give us such dark tidings as the Crusades and the Inquisition. Islam was also manufactured by these same Custodians, and thus the three major religions of our world likely not come from God, but from a ruling class that maintains its power by keep us ignorant, servile and ensnared in constant war.

He also gives us vivid descriptions how these custodial rulers fostered and controlled different secret societies, and in a very Machiavellian fashion, pitted them against one another in various wars and conflicts in order to keep humanity embroiled in violence.

We're also shown how eschatology, or the concept of an apocalypse was given to us by the same custodial sources. The modern financial system, the concept of paper money, also came out of the very same houses that were profiting from war. Without paper money, debt and the modern banking system it was very difficult to keep a war running, and thus the custodians manufactured an artificial system of economics that allowed unlimited spending as long as it was violence and destruction being sown, not peace nor prosperity.

Moving forward through time he demonstrates again, and again their connection to revolution and any new philosophy that gains a foothold in our global culture: Protestantism, Calvinism, Marxism and Fascism. Even the American and French revolutions, as well as the Bolshevik revolution in Russia were are produced specifically to create sides that would be pitted against each other in violent conflict!

We're also given an examination of what true human spirituality can look like in its unfettered form, and how humans (when not manipulated or controlled) inherently seek amicable and peaceful relations with their fellow man.

Overall the book is incredible, it contains facts and research I haven't seen anywhere else except for a few other incredible books. Namely, Secret History of the World, The High Strangeness, and UFOs & The National Security State.

Were given a clear look at our history, with facts and information you don't get in high school or college, and a hypothesis that is mind-blowing as well as critical if we are to understand the current plight of humanity. If you're looking for answers to how and why our society is the way it is you definitely want to check out this book.
