Oligarchen hebben 1,2 miljard dollar gestoken in de ‘democratische’ VS presidentsverkiezingen van 2020

Jake Johnson van Common Dreams heeft een artikel geschreven over het onderzoek van ‘Americans for Tax Fairness’ (ATF), waaruit dit orgaan destilleerde dat de oligarchen in de VS voor de verkiezingen in 2020 het schunnig grote bedrag van 1,2 miljard dollar hebben gestoken, in wat men nog steeds ‘democratische verkiezingen’ durft te noemen…… Hoe bedoelt u: Russische manipulatie van westerse verkiezingen?? Het totale bedrag is nog veel groter, dit vanwege de bijdrage van Bloomberg en Steyer voor de eigen campagnes, daarmee kom je op een totaal bedrag van 2,6 miljard dollar, ofwel Bloomberg en Steyer hebben maar liefst 1,4 miljard dollar in de eigen campagnes gestoken!!! (hufter Bloomberg is o.a. eigenaar van een media orgaan, dat meerdere nieuwsplatforms bedient)

Niet dat dit onbekend terrein was, immers het is al jaren bekend dat de superwelgestelden kapitalen steken in regionale en landelijke verkiezingen en dat is nog buiten het veel hogere bedrag dat de grote bedrijven van de VS steken in de verkiezingen, ofwel een fiks aantal bedrijven dat geld in de verkiezingen steekt is op de één of andere manier in handen van die welgestelden….. (die zelf ook al geld in de verkiezingen steken….) Daarbij geven de grote bedrijven aan beide partijen geld, ‘logisch’ daar ze op die manier verzekerd zijn van overheidssteun door de volgende administratie (regering)….. Maar dat was het nog niet beste bezoeker: de massamedia in de VS zijn ook nog eens in handen van oligarchen of groepen van grote investeerders en op die manier kunnen de oligarchen de bevolking manipuleren in het kiezen van de volgende president…. Nogmaals: over manipulatie van verkiezingen gesproken, terwijl men daar ten onrechte Rusland van beschuldigd…….

Uit het voorgaande blijkt ten overvloede nog eens dat de verkiezingen in de VS al lang niets meer met democratie te maken hebben, de grote bedrijven en de oligarchen maken uit wie er wordt gekozen en om te voorkomen dat de grote arme onderlaag de kont tegen de krib zal gooien en voor een andere kandidaat zal stemmen, zijn de mogelijkheden om te stemmen voor die onderlaag nog verder bemoeilijkt in de staten waar de Republikeinen nu aan de macht zijn….. Biden had e.e.a. kunnen voorkomen, maar heeft dat niet gedaan, zoals het afschaffen van het meer dan belachelijke verschijnsel dat ‘filibuster’ wordt genoemd (bijvoorbeeld een telefoonboek oplezen om te voorkomen dat er wordt gestemd over een bepaalde zaak, wat overigens ook nog eens bewijst dat het politieke ‘handwerk’ in de VS niet veel beter, of zelfs hetzelfde is dan in de eerste beste dictatuur waar men ‘verkiezingen’ organiseert…..)

Daarnaast is de politiek in de VS zo corrupt als de hel, maar ja wat wil je als de politici door oligarchen worden gekocht en waar de media hen de hemel in prijzen……. Het één en ander zorgt er ook nog eens voor dat een derde partij naast die van de Democraten en Republikeinen geen kans maakt om werkelijk een verschil te maken, zelfs niet als die partij een enorm bedrag steekt in de verkiezingen zoals het al gegeven voorbeeld van Bloomberg en Steyer….. Uiteraard zijn daarvoor ook de reguliere (massa-) media verantwoordelijk >> de eigenaren oligarchen van die media willen de huidige neoliberaal kapitalistische status quo koste wat kost in stand houden en daarbij is er geen plaats voor een derde partij….. (‘een derde partij zou de zaak ernstig kunnen verstoren en dat moet ten allen tijde worden voorkomen, veronderstel dat de oligarchen en grote bedrijven echt belasting moeten gaan betalen!!!’) Vandaar ook dat die media om het hardst schreeuwen dat de sociale media moeten worden gecensureerd >> tja je wilt nu eenmaal niet dat het volk gaat begrijpen dat ze vreselijk worden belazerd door de reguliere westerse media, politiek en bedrijfsleven……

Oligarchen hebben grote aandelenpakketten en derhalve belang bij hoge koersen van aandelen in olie/gas, de wapenindustrie, de farmaceuten, de grote techbedrijven en de financiële maffia, vandaar ook hun grote inzet en die van bedrijven voor verkiezingen, waarbij de enige winnaars de Republikeinen en Democraten mogen zijn……. Vandaar ook dat de progressieven in de Democratische Partij nooit aan de macht mogen komen, immers die zouden het lobbyisme in Washington wel eens flink kunnen verstoren, waardoor de belangen van de oligarchen en en bedrijven ondergeschikt zouden kunnen raken aan die van het volk….. (terwijl dat juist de bedoeling is met een volksvertegenwoordiging!!) 

Niet voor niets ook dat Hillary Clinton een uiterst smerig spel speelde tijdens de Democratische voorverkiezingen van 2016, zodat Bernie Sanders deze verloor…. (overigens herhaald door Biden en zijn team bij de Democratische voorverkiezingen van 2020) Toen e.e.a. bekend werd gemaakt heeft Clinton met haar team de smerige Russiagate leugen in de wereld geholpen…… Die leugen wordt ondanks alle bewijzen van het tegenovergestelde, dus dat Clinton zelf de hoofddader was, nog steeds geventileerd in de westerse reguliere media, waarbij men Rusland blijvend demoniseert als manipulator van de verkiezingen in de VS…… (overgenomen door andere westerse landen (zelfs in ons land….. ha! ha! ha!), ofwel die landen stellen dat ook hun verkiezingen worden gemanipuleerd door Rusland, zonder daar ook maar één steekhoudend bewijs voor te kunnen leveren…..)

Bij het voorgaande moet nog opgemerkt worden dat het verschil tussen Democraten en Republikeinen minimaal is >> zie wat dat betreft ook de maatregelen die Trump nam, zoals die tegen vluchtelingen uit Latijns-Amerika. Tijdens de campagne beloofde Biden daar verandering in te zullen brengen en maatregelen terug te zullen draaien, echter als president houdt Biden deze maatregelen in stand en dat is maar één van de vele zaken die Biden niet aanpakt terwijl hij dat wel beloofde…… (zo worden ouders nog steeds gescheiden van hun kinderen en worden ze beiden gevangen gehouden op een manier die het best te vergelijken is met een concentratiekamp en daarom volkomen ingaat tegen het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag, waarbij de mensenrechten op ernstige schaal worden geschonden……)

‘Time for Citizens United to Go’: US Oligarchs Poured $1.2 Billion Into 2020 Elections

The
figure represents a 39-fold increase compared to spending in 2010, the
first election held after the widely decried ruling by the U.S. Supreme
Court.

 

Jake Johnson

Marking the 12th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Citizens United decision, the advocacy group Americans for Tax Fairness on Friday published a report showing that U.S. billionaires dumped a staggering $1.2 billion into the 2020 elections—a 39-fold increase compared to 2010.

Over the course of the 2020 election cycle, ATF found, America’s 661
billionaires contributed nearly $1 out of every $10 spent attempting to
influence the outcome and determine who sets policy for a nation of 330
million.

“Billionaires shouldn’t get to use their enormous wealth to pick and choose who they want in office.”

Nearly a third of the billionaire campaign funding in
2020 came from the mega-rich couple Sheldon and Miriam Adelson—former
President Donald Trump’s top donors—and former New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, who doled out $152.5 million during the 2020 election
cycle, not including the $1.1 billion he spent on his own short-lived
White House bid.

Democratic businessman Tom Steyer, his wife
Kathryn Taylor, and Republican hedge fund manager Ken Griffin also spent
big in 2020, collectively donating over $400 million.

Frank
Clemente, ATF’s executive director, said in a statement that the
findings lay bare the “disastrous” consequences of the high court’s 2010
ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which toppled longstanding campaign finance restrictions and opened the floodgates to unlimited election spending by corporations and rich individuals.

And
the reason billionaires have so much cash to give to political
campaigns, Clemente stressed, is that they’ve been able to accumulate
vast fortunes without any real threat of higher taxes. ATF estimated
in a separate report out earlier this week that the 10 richest U.S.
billionaires have added $1 billion to their combined wealth every day of
the pandemic.

“Weak taxation of the wealthy combined with anemic
regulation of campaign fundraising have handed America’s billionaires
outsized political influence to go along with their huge economic
clout,” said Clemente.

BREAKING: New analysis finds that America’s 661 billionaires pumped $1,200,000,000 into the 2020 elections.

That’s double what they contributed in 2016, and 39x more than they contributed before Citizens United was decided.

It’s been 12 years. It’s time to #EndCitizensUnited.

According to ATF’s analysis, the distribution of billionaire cash
between Republican and Democratic candidates was pretty evenly split in
2020, with 55% of the total going to GOP campaigns.

“In the 2010
election cycle, billionaires gave $19 million to Republicans and $11
million to Democrats,” ATF noted. “By the 2020 cycle, those respective
figures were $656 million and $539 million.”

“The secret political spending we have seen over the last 12 years has corrupted our political process”

The
advocacy organization argued that such campaign donations “are a
profitable investment: they buy access to politicians and influence over
tax and other policies that can save tycoons billions of dollars.”

“While
that $1.2 billion ‘investment’ in 2020 was massive, it totaled less
than 0.1% of billionaire wealth (and less than one day’s worth of their
pandemic wealth growth), leaving almost unlimited room for future growth
in billionaire campaign spending,” the group warned.

In recent years, members of Congress have introduced constitutional amendments aimed at overturning Citizens United,
but none of the efforts have gotten off the ground. A number of state
and local governments have also passed resolutions urging Congress to
take action to reverse the 2010 decision, to no avail.

“Corporations
are not people, and billionaires shouldn’t get to use their enormous
wealth to pick and choose who they want in office,” ATF said Friday.
“It’s well beyond time for Citizens United to go, and to put real action towards getting big money out of politics. Our democracy depends on it.”

Lisa
Gilbert, executive vice president of the consumer advocacy group Public
Citizen, said in a statement marking the ruling’s anniversary that “the
secret political spending we have seen over the last 12 years has
corrupted our political process toward corporate interests and robbed
citizens of authentic representation.”

“It plays a large role in
the failures to defend our democracy, pass Build Back Better, address
climate change, fix our healthcare system, and much more,” said Gilbert.
“The amount of money flowing into our elections is unprecedented and
increases every cycle. A handful of billionaires exert enormous
influence over our politics. And as a result, elected officials have
grown ever more responsive to the desires of corporations and the
ultrawealthy at the expense of their constituents.”

De aarde is zonder chauffeur op weg naar armageddon: de werkelijke machthebbers zijn goden zonder hoofd

Caitlin Johnstone heeft een artikel geschreven waar ze ingaat op wie er nu echt aan het stuur zit, terwijl we hard op weg zijn naar de vernietiging van de wereld.

We hebben de idee dat er wel degelijk mensen aan het stuur zitten, regeringen van gekozen politici die regelmatig overleggen met politici en ambtenaren van andere landen, die uitmaken hoe de wereld bestuurd wordt. Daarbij moet je ook denken aan de klimaattoppen, waar de oliemaatschappijen voor het grootste deel van de tijd mogen aanzitten en meepraten, terwijl milieugroepen hooguit 5% van de tijd mogen deelnemen, of wat dacht je van de Bilderberg conferenties, waarover men in de reguliere westerse media durft te beweren dat die niets te zeggen hebben over wat er gebeurt over de wereld, terwijl de machtigste mensen op aarde daar aanzitten, inclusief enkelen die eigenaar zijn van grote mediaorganen……

Johnstone stelt daarna dat wanneer je goed kijkt, ofwel politici en ambtenaren onder een loep legt, je ontdekt dat het in werkelijkheid niet zo werkt: je ziet dan dat gekozen regeringen worden gecontroleerd door zakelijke en plutocratische financiële instellingen, die geen loyaliteit hebben met de burgers van de landen die ze domineren, o.a. door het manipuleren van die regeringen met geld en andere zaken, in verhouding tot de belangrijkheid van zo’n regering voor het veiligstellen van belangen die de plutocratie heeft….. (zo worden er jaarlijks door het bedrijfsleven vele miljarden uitgegeven aan lobbyen bij de politiek, lobby die zo machtig kan zijn dat politici en ambtenaren zich niet eens durven te verweren, of anders zelfs worden omgekocht met geld of mooie vooruitzichten op dikbetaalde banen na de politieke carrière, dan wel bij overstappen van ambtenaren naar een bepaald groot bedrijf…..)

Echter als je met een microscoop e.e.a. nog beter bekijkt wordt het nog vreemder, niet de plutocraten maken uit wat er gebeurd, maar de instituties die zij ‘besturen’, anders gezegd niet de mensen in die instituties (of dat nu grote bedrijven of banken zijn) maken uit wat er gebeurd, maar de instituties zelf, die opereren op basis van winst en groei die ingebakken zijn in die instituties en die volledig gescheiden zijn van normale menselijke waarden…… 

Neem ook de banken, die verantwoordelijk waren voor de kredietcrisis van 2008, ze werden daar amper voor bestraft, terwijl ze een groot deel van de wereld in diepe ellende hebben gestort……. Zoals Griekenland dat men geld op de pof had geleend, tmaar dat totaal werd leeggeroofd als gevolg van de bankencrisis, zo erg dat zelfs kankerpatiënten geen geld hadden voor de therapie die ze nodig hadden en letterlijk konden doodvallen…… Geld dat zogenaamd naar Griekenland ging, belandde regelrecht in de kluizen van de banken in ons deel van Europa om hen schadeloos te stellen voor het eigen wanbeleid…. Als je jouw bank wil straffen voor wanbeleid, moet je een nieuw rekeningnummer nemen bij een andere bank, terwijl je het IBAN rekeningnummer als het sofinummer voor het leven zou behouden, wat nogmaals aantoont hoe groot de macht van banken over de politiek is…. Belde een paar jaar geleden met ASN bank over deze zaak en zelfs daar durfde men met droge ogen te beweren dat het te ingewikkeld is om je rekeningnummer mee te nemen naar een andere bank…. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Puur machtsmisbruik en de politiek laat zich dit voorschrijven, ongelofelijk!!

Het bewijs van het voorgaande zie je volgens Caitlin in het selecteren van de top van deze instituties, figuren met een duistere eigenschap, dus narcisten en sociopaten (waar ik liever het woord psychopaten zou willen gebruiken), immers zij moeten de doelen van deze instituties bewaken en bevorderen, zoals gezegd winst en groei. Niet deze top kiest voor moordende acties, deze instituties kiezen de top die deze moordende acties moeten uitvoeren. (vandaar ook de grote bonussen voor bijvoorbeeld CEO’s die moeten opstappen, zodat een volgende kandidaat niet van een nieuwe functie afziet)

Vroeger vond men goden uit die men eerde, van wie men het deed voorkomen als zouden ze in de hemel leven en waarbij men sprak over wonderen en goddelijke interventies (helaas geloven nog steeds hele volksstammen in deze nonsens). Nu vinden we goden uit die hier op aarde wonen, waarbij we spreken over winstmarges en marktwerking. Het verschil met de eerdere goden is dat de hogepriesters van de oude goden een eigen agenda hadden bediend door hun religie, terwijl de nieuwe hoge priesters feitelijk de agenda van hun goden bedienen.

Het probleem is volgens Caitlin dat de nieuwe goden niet wijs en weldoend zijn, ze zijn door de mens gemaakt: speculatieve constructies zonder meer wijsheid en inzicht dan de ‘groei ten koste van alles’ waarden, bijeen gehouden door een kankertumor….. De moderne goden zijn hersenloze verslinders die door niemand worden gecontroleerd, ofwel de nieuwe goden hebben geen hoofden……

Caitlin haalt voor het e.e.a een vergelijking aan van de schrijver Steinbeck uit de ‘Grapes of Wrath’: “Ons excuus, het is niet onze schuld, het is het monster, de bank is niet als de mens”. Dan de tegenwerping: “Ja, maar de bank is alleen door de mens gemaakt”. Waarop het volgende wordt gesteld: “Nee, je vergist je behoorlijk. De bank is iets anders dan de mens. Het gebeurt dat iedereen in de bank haat wat de bank doet en toch doet de bank het. De bank is meer dan de mens, het is het monster door dat door de mens is gemaakt, maar het kan niet worden gecontroleerd door de mens”.

Nu zien we dat onze wereld wordt verslonden door de koploze moderne goden omdat ecocide winst oplevert en leidt tot groei. Omdat uitbuiting winstgevend is en tot groei leidt. Omdat oorlog winstgevend is en leidt tot groei. Omdat het infiltreren van regeringsmacht winstgevend is en leidt tot groei…….

Ze zullen pas stoppen als er niets meer is om te verslinden…. Er is niets ingebouwd in deze massieve verslinders dat hen zou kunnen stoppen….. Ze kunnen niet stoppen, ze kunnen alleen gestopt worden……

Op een bepaald moment zullen we ons realiseren dat marktwerking en het winstoogmerk niet de wijsheid hebben om ons door de existentiële crisis te helpen die de mens nu voor zich ziet. De vraag is of we ons dit op tijd zullen realiseren om er nog iets aan te doen, of ons dit pas realiseren als we onze laatste ademtocht uitblazen als soort…… 

De moderne goden staan niet ten dienste van ons. We kunnen alleen een gezonde wereld creëren als we beseffen dat we op moeten staan tegen hun helse religie, hun koploze hoofd eraf slaan en beginnen met hen te vervangen door goden die ons besturen met systemen die zijn ontworpen om de mens te bevoordelen….

Met dat laatste ben ik het niet eens, zoals de regelmatige lezer van dit blog zal hebben begrepen: goden en religies zijn de dood in de pot en zullen ten allen tijde worden misbruikt om de mens in het gareel te houden en dat ten behoeve van de super welgestelden en de instituties die macht en welstand vergaren ten koste van het grootste deel van de bevolking, wat dat betreft is er weinig verschil tussen de oude en nieuwe goden (althans mijns inziens). Het is wat mij betreft juist noodzakelijk dat men de god in zichzelf ontdekt en daardoor ziet dat we zo niet door kunnen gaan en niet langer de valsgroene beloften geloven van de machtsmisbruikers, of die nu op lokaal, regionaal, landelijk dan wel internationaal opereren……. 

Kortom als de mens wil overleven zal men in opstand moeten komen en de huidige machthebbers uitrangeren, daarvoor is geen god nodig, maar de massa’s!! Jammer genoeg steekt het fascisme steeds meer de kop op over de wereld, figuren die het volk weten te overtuigen dat bijvoorbeeld de klimaatverandering onzin is en die pleiten voor sterke mannen die landen moeten regeren….. (gelukkig hebben de Noorse sociaaldemocraten gisteren de verkiezingen gewonnen en hebben beloofd wat aan de enorme ongelijkheid te zullen doen, daarnaast wil men echt werk maken van het afremmen van de klimaatverandering, die ook in de noordelijk gelegen gebieden van de aarde huishoudt)

Our Gods Have No Heads

by Caitlin Johnstone


Listen to a reading of this article: 

 

We’re on a planet-sized haunted hayride to Armageddon, and no one is driving.

Sure
at first glance it looks like someone’s driving. It appears that there
are governments which are run by elected officials, and that those
officials get together regularly with the officials from other
governments to determine how the world should be run.

Then
you look a bit closer and you discover that’s not how it works at all.
The official elected governments are controlled by corporate and
financial plutocratic institutions which have no loyalty to the
citizenry of any nation they dominate, with wealth poured into
manipulating those governments proportionate to their importance in
securing the interests of the plutocracy.

Then
you look closer still and it gets even weirder, because you see that
even the plutocrats aren’t really calling the shots themselves. What’s
ultimately driving things is not so much the people within those
institutions as the institutions themselves, which operate
based on motives of profit and growth that are built into them and are
entirely divorced from normal human values.

You see this evidenced in the way these entities actively and deliberately select executives with “dark personality traits”,
i.e. narcissists and sociopaths, because ethical and empathic people
will not do the things that are necessary to advance the agendas of
those entities. The executive isn’t choosing cutthroat actions for the
corporation to make, the corporation is choosing executives who will
enact its cutthroat agendas.

In
the old days we invented gods to worship who we pretended lived in the
heavens, and we talked about miracles and divine intervention. Now we
invent gods who live right here on earth, and we talk about profit
margins and market forces. The only difference between the old gods and
the new is that the high priests of old had their own personal agendas
served by their religion, whereas the new high priests actually serve
the agendas of their gods.

And
the problem of course is that these are not wise and beneficent gods,
they are manmade conceptual constructs with no more intelligence or
insight than that growth-at-all-cost values system held by a cancerous
tumor. The modern gods are mindless devourers who are controlled by no
one. The modern gods have no heads.

As Steinbeck wrote in The Grapes of Wrath:

“We’re sorry. It’s not us. It’s the monster. The bank isn’t like a man.”

“Yes, but the bank is only made of men.”

“No,
you’re wrong there—quite wrong there. The bank is something else than
men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and
yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you.
It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.”

So
now we are watching our world be devoured by these headless modern
gods, because ecocide is profitable and leads to growth. Because
exploitation is profitable and leads to growth. Because war is
profitable and leads to growth. Because infiltrating government power is
profitable and leads to growth.

They
will not stop until there is nothing left to devour. There is nothing
built into these massive devourers which could ever tell them to stop.
They cannot stop, they can only be stopped.

At
some point we’re going to realize that market forces and the profit
motive do not have the wisdom to navigate through the existential crises
humanity now faces. The only question is whether we’ll realize this in
time to do something about it, or realize it in our final gasps as a
species.

The
modern gods to not serve us. We can only create a healthy world when we
find it within ourselves to stand up to their infernal religion, chop
off their headless heads, and begin replacing the gods who ruled us with
systems designed to benefit humans.

Dienstbaarheid wordt ‘hogelijk’ gewaardeerd door de machthebbers: een video ‘met’ George Orwell en Aldous Huxley

Information
Clearing House bracht afgelopen woensdag een artikel en video van After
Scool over de macht die politici en grote internationale bedrijven hebben over de
mensheid. Het artikel begint met een uitspraak van filosoof en
schrijver Aldous Huxley:

Een
echt efficiënte totalitaire staat zou er één zijn waarin de
almachtige hoofdbestuurder van de politieke top met een leger aan
managers de populatie van slaven controleert” (mijn excuus voor de
rammelende vertaling) Al is daar nog wel wat op aan te merken, immers
de werkelijk grote machthebbers zitten niet in de politiek maar juist
in het grote bedrijfsleven, voor wie politici de belangen behartigen.
Neem de grote techbedrijven als Google, Facebook, Twitter, de top van
die bedrijven heeft een macht die nooit eerder werd gezien, een
macht die men nu ook aanwendt om critici van de neoliberale status
quo de mond te snoeren, niet voor niets daar die top er alle belang
bij heeft deze status quo te behouden, immers zo kan men kapitaal
vergaren en veiligstellen, bijvoorbeeld het veiligstellen van investeringen in de
wapenindustrie (in de breedste zin van het woord), de oliemaffia, de farmaceutische
industrie en de financiële wereld……”

Aldous Huxley

Zo zijn
de oorlogen van de VS een verdienmodel geworden voor diverse
industrieën, dat er betaald moet worden voor die oorlogen is geen
probleem daarvoor mogen de ‘slaven’ ofwel de bevolking betalen…..
Met die oorlogen stelt de VS grondstoffen veilig, grondstoffen als
olie en grondstoffen die benodigd zijn voor accu’s* (voor de e-auto-industrie) en
zaken als smartphones. Voorts worden met die oorlogen ook geologisch
strategische plekken toegankelijk gemaakt voor de VS (en niet zelden
ook voor andere NAVO-bondgenoten…)…..

George Orwell
 
In de
video wordt terecht gesteld dat men bevolkingen beter kan controleren
door ze bang te maken, de stress die daaruit volgt maakt van mensen
volgzame schapen, die zelfs denken dat het fijn is om dienstbaar te
zijn aan de machthebbers…… ‘Mooi voorbeeld’ is de huidige
Coronacrisis: de bevolking wordt ontdaan van de rechten die men
heeft, waarmee zelfs mensenrechten worden geschonden, echter de angst
die men heeft voor het Coronavirus, overgebracht door politici en de
reguliere media (die al lang niet meer onafhankelijk zijn), zorgt
ervoor dat men zelfs zwaar blunderende politici op het Coronadossier
als VVD premier Rutte waardeert als een ‘staatsman van formaat……’
De angst voor het Coronavirus wordt door politici en media misbruikt
om de bevolking wijs te maken dat er alleen heil en veiligheid is te
verkrijgen bij de zittende regering en het beleid dat wordt
gevoerd…… (NB een van de hak op de tak flutbeleid)

– – Aldous Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English
writer and philosopher. His most famous novel Brave New World (1932)
and his final novel Island (1962), presented his vision of dystopia
and utopia, respectively.

George
Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His
work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism,
opposition to totalitarianism and mass surveillance. As a writer,
Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical
journalism; and is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm
(1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

De VS oorlog tegen ‘landelijk terrorisme’ is een definitieve stap naar een volledige politiestaat…….

De enorme hysterie in de VS na de
bestorming van Capitol Hill en het Capitol, gevoed met angst door
vooral de reguliere media, is het laatste instrument voor Joe Biden
en z’n psychopathische administratie om maatregelen door te voeren
die een eind zullen maken aan burgerrechten als:

  • vrijheid
    van meningsuiting

  • het
    recht om te demonstreren

  • het
    recht om fout overheidsbeleid te weerleggen

  • het
    recht om jezelf te verdedigen (een omkering van bewijslast, je bent
    zonder meer schuldig en probeer maar te bewijzen dat dit niet zo is,
    althans als je die kans al krijgt…..)

  • het
    recht op verantwoording en transparantie van de overheid

  • het
    recht op privacy (al is daar al praktisch niets van over)

  • het
    recht op een onafhankelijke pers (die is al lang ter grave
    gedragen en de reguliere [afhankelijke] media roepen zelfs om censuur op
    de sociale media en de rest van het net, censuur die zelfs al wordt
    toegepast, óók in ons land…..)

  • het
    recht op vereniging (wat hier zwaar geweld wordt aangedaan met de
    Coronamaatregelen…)

  • het
    recht op lichamelijke integriteit

  • het
    recht op een representatieve volksvertegenwoordiging

Al deze
zaken hadden in de VS al ‘aan glans verloren’ door het aannemen van de Patriot
Act na de aanslagen van 11 september 2001 (9/11), een wet die al in 1995 werd opgesteld door de huidige president
Joe Biden, onder de naam: ‘Omnibus Counterterrorism Act…..’
‘Patriot Act II’ ofwel de:
Domestic
Terrorism Prevention Act (DTPA),
die
de Biden administratie voorbereidt, is de definitieve
oorlogsverklaring, niet aan landelijke terreur, maar aan iedere VS
burger en aan het laatste restje democratie in dat middels een genocide gestolen land).

Het is
duidelijk dat deze nieuwe ‘War on Terror’ niet alleen een oorlog is
die iedere VS burger kan treffen, maar die zoals gezegd definitief een eind zal
maken aan de al meer dan waardeloze democratie is zoals de VS die nu
nog kent…..

Volgens Michael
McGarrity, opperhoofdsmeerpijp van de FBI afdeling van contraterrorisme, ziet
de FBI ‘huiselijk terrorisme’ in de volgende 4 zaken: 

  • raciaal
    gemotiveerd gewelddadig extremisme 

  • anti
    regerings/autoriteit extremisme

  • dierenrechten
    en milieu extremisme 

  • abortus extremisme

Ofwel als je gezichtspunten
onderschrijft die tegengesteld zijn aan wat de regering of andere
autoriteiten (als de FBI, NSA of andere geheime diensten >> de
VS heeft er meer dan 25) voorstaan, kan je worden aangemerkt als een
‘binnenlandse terrorist’ en als zodanig worden behandeld (dat geldt dan bijvoorbeeld voor Black Lives Matter [BLM] activisten….)…..
Moet je nagaan: dan is de VS de eerste die altijd met een
beschuldigende (vieze hypocriete) vinger wijst naar landen waar men
hetzelfde omgaat met deze zaken…..

De VS heeft al organisaties opgetuigd die
‘misdaden’ (‘misdaden’ als dierenactivisme) moeten voorkomen, dit
gebeurt middels 78 fusion centra, die zaken verbinden op federaal
niveau (FBI, justitie), regionaal en lokaal gebied, maar ook middels
centra die data verzamelen, met hulp van: -gedragswetenschappers, -bedrijven, -de sociale media (Facebook, Twitter enz.) en
-‘gemeenschapsorganisatoren’, dit alles ondersteund met de nieuwste
technieken, uiteraard ook op het gebied van kunstmatige
intelligentie, gezichtsherkenning, biometrie (identificatiemethoden
op basis van unieke lichaamskenmerken) en gedragsepigenetica (met wie
men kan zien welke ervaringen tijdens het leven het genetische beeld
verouderen)……. Met name die nieuwe technieken vromen een groot gevaar voor alle burgerrechten, daar controle van de massa’s tegenwoordig steeds makkelijker wordt, neem alle camera’s in steden en dorpen, het ‘live scannen’ van internetverkeer en ga nog maar een half uur door…….

De
Coronacrisis is als olie op het vuur van antidemocratische
maatregelen en ook de rest van het
westen moet oppassen niet als makke schapen achter de VS aan te lopen en maatregelen van de VS
over te nemen, maatregelen die ook hier de democratie volkomen zullen
uithollen (immers vergeet niet dat de andere westerse landen maar wat
graag antidemocratische maatregelen uit de VS overnemen, niet in de
laatste plaats daar deze het regeren [per decreet] vergemakkelijken en totale controle van het volk mogelijk maken, waarbij de reguliere media grote propagandisten zijn van
dergelijke maatregelen, zoals ze ook voor censuur zijn op de sociale
media en zelfs op het hele internet……

The
Government’s War on Domestic Terrorism Is a Trap

 

By
John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead

This is
an issue that all Democrats, Republicans, independents, Libertarians
should be extremely concerned about, especially because we don’t
have to guess about where this goes or how this ends. What
characteristics are we looking for as we are building this profile of
a potential extremist, what are we talking about? Religious
extremists, are we talking about Christians, evangelical Christians,
what is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who is pro-life? [The
proposed legislation could create] a very dangerous undermining of
our civil liberties, our freedoms in our Constitution, and a
targeting of almost half of the country.
Tulsi
Gabbard
,
former Congresswoman

January 31, 2021
Information

– This is how it begins.

We are moving fast
down that slippery slope to an authoritarian society in which the
only opinions, ideas and speech expressed are the ones permitted by
the government and its corporate cohorts.

In the wake of the
Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, “domestic terrorism” has become the
new poster child for expanding the government’s powers at the
expense of civil liberties.

Of course, “domestic
terrorist” is just the latest bull’s eye phrase, to be used
interchangeably
with “anti-government,” “extremist” and “terrorist,” to
describe anyone who might fall somewhere on a very broad spectrum of
viewpoints that could be considered “dangerous.”

Watch and see: we are
all about to become enemies of the state.

In a déjà vu
mirroring of the legislative fall-out from 9/11, and the ensuing
build-up of the security state, there is a growing
demand in certain sectors for the government to be given expanded
powers
to root out “domestic” terrorism, the Constitution be
damned.

If this is a test of
Joe Biden’s worthiness to head up the American police state, he
seems ready.

As part of his
inaugural address, President Biden pledged to confront and defeat “a
rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism.”
Biden has also asked the Director of National Intelligence to work
with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in carrying out
a “comprehensive
threat assessment” of domestic terrorism
. And then to keep the
parallels going, there is the proposed Domestic Terrorism Prevention
Act of 2021, introduced after the Jan. 6 riots, which aims to equip
the government with “the
tools to identify, monitor and thwart
” those who could become
radicalized to violence.

Don’t blink or
you’ll miss the sleight of hand.

This is the tricky
part of the Deep State’s con game that keeps you focused on the
shell game in front of you while your wallet is being picked clean by
ruffians in your midst.

It follows the same
pattern as every other convenient “crisis” used by the government
as an excuse to expand its powers at the citizenry’s expense and at
the expense of our freedoms.

As investigative
journalist Glenn Greenwald warns:

The last
two weeks have ushered in a wave of new domestic police powers and
rhetoric in the name of fighting ‘terrorism’ that are carbon
copies of many of the worst excesses of the first War on Terror that
began nearly twenty years ago. This New War on Terror—one that is
domestic in name from the start and carries the explicit purpose of
fighting ‘extremists’ and ‘domestic terrorists’ among
American citizens on U.S. soil—presents the whole slew of
historically familiar dangers when governments,
exploiting media-generated fear and dangers, arm themselves with the
power to control information, debate, opinion, activism and
protests
.”

Greenwald is referring
to the USA Patriot Act, passed almost 20 years ago, which paved the
way for the eradication of every vital safeguard against government
overreach, corruption and abuse.

Free speech, the right
to protest, the right to challenge government wrongdoing, due
process, a presumption of innocence, the right to self-defense,
accountability and transparency in government, privacy, press,
sovereignty, assembly, bodily integrity, representative government:
all of these and more have become casualties in the government’s
war on the American people, a war that has grown more pronounced
since Sept. 11, 2001.

Some members
of Congress get it.

In a letter opposing
expansion of national security powers, a handful congressional
representatives urged their colleagues not to repeat the mistakes of
the past:

While many
may find comfort in increased national security powers in the wake of
this attack, we must emphasize that we
have been here before and we have seen where that road leads
. Our
history is littered with examples of initiatives sold as being
necessary to fight extremism that quickly devolve into tools used for
the mass violation of the human and civil rights of the American
people… To expand the government’s national security powers once
again at the expense of the human and civil rights of the American
people would only serve to further undermine our democracy, not
protect it.”

Cue the Emergency
State, the government’s Machiavellian version of crisis management
that justifies all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name
of national security.

This is the power grab
hiding in plain sight, obscured by the political machinations of the
self-righteous elite. This is how the government continues to exploit
crises and use them as opportunities for power grabs under the guise
of national security. Indeed, this is exactly how the government
added red
flag gun laws, precrime surveillance, fusion centers, threat
assessments, mental health assessments, involuntary confinement

to its arsenal of weaponized powers.

The objective is not
to make America safe again. That has never been the government’s
aim.

Greenwald explains:

Why would
such new terrorism laws be needed in a country that already imprisons
more of its citizens than any other country in the world as the
result of a very aggressive set of criminal laws? What acts should be
criminalized by new ‘domestic terrorism’ laws that are not
already deemed criminal? They never say, almost certainly
because—just as was true of the first set of new War on Terror
laws—their
real aim is to criminalize that 
which
should not be criminalized
:
speech, association, protests, opposition to the new ruling
coalition
.”

So you see, the issue
is not whether Donald Trump or Roger Stone or MyPillow
CEO Mike Lindell
deserve to be banned from Twitter, even if
they’re believed to be spouting misinformation, hateful ideas, or
fomenting discontent.

Rather, we should be
asking whether any corporation or government agency or entity
representing a fusion of the two should have the power
to muzzle, silence, censor, regulate, control and altogether
eradicate so-called “dangerous” or “extremist” ideas
.

This unilateral power
to muzzle free speech represents a far greater danger than any
so-called right- or left-wing extremist might pose.

The ramifications are
so far-reaching as to render almost every American an extremist in
word, deed, thought or by association.

Yet where many go
wrong is in assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or
challenging the government’s authority in order to be flagged as a
suspicious character, labeled an enemy of the state and locked up
like a dangerous criminal.

Eventually, all you
will really need to do is use certain trigger words, surf the
internet, communicate using a cell phone, drive a car, stay at a
hotel, purchase materials at a hardware store, take flying or boating
lessons, appear suspicious, question government authority, or
generally live in the United States.

The groundwork has
already been laid.

The trap is set.

All that is needed is
the right bait.

With the help of
automated eyes and ears, a growing arsenal of high-tech software,
hardware and techniques, government propaganda urging Americans to
turn into spies and snitches, as well as social media and behavior
sensing software
, government agents have been busily spinning a
sticky spider-web of threat
assessments
, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged “words,”
and “suspicious” activity reports aimed at snaring
potential
enemies of the state.

It’s the American
police state’s take on the dystopian terrors foreshadowed by George
Orwell, Aldous Huxley and Phillip K. Dick all rolled up into one
oppressive pre-crime
and pre-thought
crime package.

What’s more, the
technocrats who run the surveillance state don’t even have to break
a sweat while monitoring what you say, what you read, what you write,
where you go, how much you spend, whom you support, and with whom you
communicate. Computers by way of AI (artificial intelligence) now do
the tedious work of trolling social media, the internet, text
messages and phone calls for potentially anti-government remarks, all
of which is carefully recorded, documented, and stored to be used
against you someday at a time and place of the government’s
choosing.

For instance, police
in major American cities have been using predictive policing
technology that allows them to identify individuals—or groups of
individuals—most likely to commit a crime
in a given community.
Those individuals are then put on notice that their movements and
activities will be closely monitored and any criminal activity (by
them or their associates) will result in harsh penalties. 

In other words, the
burden of proof is reversed: you are guilty before you are given any
chance to prove you are innocent.

Dig beneath the
surface of this kind of surveillance/police state, however, and you
will find that the real purpose of pre-crime is not safety but
control.

Red flag gun laws
merely push us that much closer towards a suspect society where
everyone is potentially guilty of some crime or another and must be
preemptively rendered harmless.

This is the same
government that has a growing list—shared with fusion centers and
law enforcement agencies—of ideologies, behaviors, affiliations and
other characteristics that could flag someone as suspicious and
result in their being labeled
potential
enemies of the state.

For instance, if you
believe in and exercise your rights under the Constitution (namely,
your right to speak freely, worship freely, associate with
like-minded individuals who share your political views, criticize the
government, own a weapon, demand a warrant before being questioned or
searched, or any other activity viewed as potentially
anti-government, racist, bigoted, anarchic or sovereign), you could
be at
the top of the government’s terrorism watch list
.

Moreover, as a New
York Times

editorial warns, you may be an anti-government extremist (a.k.a.
domestic
terrorist
) in the eyes of the police if you are afraid that the
government
is plotting to confiscate your firearms
, if you believe the
economy
is about to collapse
and the government
will soon declare martial law
, or if you display an unusual
number of political
and/or ideological bumper stickers
on your car.

According to one FBI
latest report, you might also be classified as a domestic terrorism
threat if you espouse conspiracy theories, especially if you “attempt
to explain events or circumstances as the result of a group of actors
working in secret to benefit themselves at the expense of others

and are “usually at odds with official or prevailing explanations
of events.”

Additionally,
according to Michael C. McGarrity, the FBI’s assistant director of
the counterterrorism division, the bureau now “classifies
domestic terrorism threats into four main categories: racially
motivated violent extremism, anti-government/anti-authority
extremism, animal rights/environmental extremism, and abortion
extremism
.”

In other words, if you
dare to subscribe to any views that are contrary to the government’s,
you may well be suspected of being a domestic terrorist and treated
accordingly.

Again, where many
Americans go wrong is in naively assuming that you have to be doing
something illegal or harmful in order to be flagged and targeted for
some form of intervention or detention.

In fact, U.S. police
agencies have been working to identify and manage potential extremist
“threats,” violent or otherwise, before they can become actual
threats for some time now.

In much the same way
that the USA Patriot Act was used as a front to advance the
surveillance state, allowing the government to establish a
far-reaching domestic spying program that turned every American
citizen into a criminal suspect, the government’s anti-extremism
program renders otherwise lawful, nonviolent activities as
potentially extremist.

In fact, all you need
to do these days to end up on a government watch list or be subjected
to heightened scrutiny is use
certain trigger words
(like cloud, pork and pirates), surf the
internet, communicate using a cell phone, limp
or stutter
, drive
a car
, stay at a hotel, attend a political rally, express
yourself on social media
, appear
mentally ill
, serve in the military,
disagree
with a law enforcement official
, call
in sick to work
, purchase materials at a hardware store, take
flying or boating lessons, appear
suspicious
, appear confused or nervous, fidget or whistle or
smell bad, be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely
resembling a gun (such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a
walking cane), stare
at a police officer
, question government authority, or appear
to be pro-gun or pro-freedom
.

Be warned: once you
get on such a government watch list—whether it’s a terrorist
watch list, a mental health watch list, a dissident watch list, or a
red flag gun watch list—there’s no clear-cut way to get off,
whether or not you should actually be on there.

You will
be tracked wherever you go.

You will
be flagged as a potential threat and dealt with accordingly.

This is pre-crime on
an ideological scale and it’s been a long time coming.

The government has
been building its pre-crime, surveillance network in concert with
fusion
centers
(of which there are 78 nationwide, with partners in the
corporate sector and globally), data collection agencies, behavioral
scientists, corporations, social media, and community organizers and
by relying on cutting-edge technology for surveillance, facial
recognition, predictive
policing
, biometrics, and behavioral epigenetics
(in which life experiences alter one’s genetic makeup).

If you’re not scared
yet, you should be.

Connect the dots.

Start with the powers
amassed by the government under the USA Patriot Act, note the
government’s ever-broadening definition of what it considers to be
an “extremist,” then add in the government’s detention powers
under NDAA*, the National Security Agency’s far-reaching
surveillance networks, and fusion centers that collect and share
surveillance data between local, state and federal police agencies.

To that, add tens of
thousands of armed, surveillance drones and balloons that are
beginning to blanket American skies, facial recognition technology
that will identify and track you wherever you go and whatever you do.
And then to complete the picture, toss in the real-time crime centers
being deployed in cities across the country, which will be attempting
to “predict” crimes and identify so-called criminals before they
happen based on widespread surveillance, complex mathematical
algorithms and prognostication programs.

Hopefully you’re
starting to understand how easy we’ve made it for the government to
identify, label, target, defuse and detain anyone it views as a
potential
threat for a variety of reasons that run the gamut from mental
illness to having a military background to challenging its authority
to just being on the government’s list of
persona
non grata
.

There’s always a
price to pay for standing up to the powers-that-be.

Yet as I make clear in
my book
Battlefield
America: The War on the American People
,
you don’t even have to be a dissident to get flagged by the
government for surveillance, censorship and detention.

All you really need to
be is a citizen of the American police state.

2020 het jaar dat de vrijheidsboom in brand werd gestoken

John
Whitehead heeft een artikel geschreven waarin hij betoogt dat 2020
het jaar is waarin de overheid (beter: overheden) de definitieve stap
heeft gezet om onze vrijheid af te nemen. Hij begint met een mooie
uitspraak van John Lennon waarin deze betoogt dat mensen niet bewust
leven, niet opgeleid zijn om te beseffen dat ze macht hebben. Het
systeem werkt zo dat iedereen gelooft dat de overheid alles zal
oplossen. Eindigend met : “Wij zijn de regering” (als we dat willen,
Ap).

Nog even
het volgende : vergeet niet dat de situatie in de VS, waarover
Whitehead spreekt, in feite nog een stuk erger is dan hier, hoewel we
in sneltreinvaart achter de VS aangaan en en paar zaken die Whitehead
aanhaalt zal je ongetwijfeld zelf al hebben bemerkt in ons land, of
welk land dan ook waar je woont, waar je leeft.

Volkomen
terecht merkt Whitehead op dat 2020 ‘een vreselijk, verschrikkelijk
slecht jaar was voor vrijheid’, waar dit jaar ‘een optelsom was van het
laatste vreselijke, verschrikkelijk slechte decennium voor
ons aller vrijheid…….’

Corruptie
op regeringsniveau (hier beter verborgen, maar aanwijsbaar bestaand), tirannie en misbruik, gemixt met een Big Brother weet
alles mentaliteit, samen met de COVID-19 ‘pandemie’ hebben deze zaken ons op
‘warpsnelheid’* gebracht in de richting van een politiestaat, aldus
Whitehead. Daarna noemt hij een aantal zaken die nu al als normaal
worden gezien in de VS: hele staten die op slot zijn gegaan middels
een lockdown, enorm uitgebreide bewaking (van alles en iedereen),
veel fouilleringen langs de kant van de weg, politiemoorden op
meerdere ongewapende burgers, censuur, arrestaties als vergelding,
het criminaliseren van tot nu toe gewoon geoorloofde zaken,
oorlogshitserij, het ‘oneindig vasthouden’ van mensen (bijvoorbeeld
ook in Nederland als het gaat om vluchtelingen), overvallen door arrestatieteams, het in beslag
nemen van zaken (door de politie en/of deurwaarder ), politiegeweld,
winstmakende privé gevangenissen (die in de VS zelfs aan de beurs
zijn genoteerd….) en alom aanwezige corruptie, zelfs in het Witte Huis……

Terecht
is volgens Whitehead het voorgaande een waslijst aan vergrijpen >>
die wreed, brutaal, immoreel, ongrondwettig en onacceptabel zijn.
Zaken waarmee de regering de laatste 2 decennia en zeker het laatste
jaar het volk heeft belast……

Door
de Coronacrisis zijn een aantal van onze burgerrechten gesneuveld, we zouden die terugkrijgen zo werd beloofd, echter de geschiedenis laat zien dat
regeringen, ook in ons land, zaken van dergelijke omvang (ook qua
lengte in tijd) niet snel of helemaal niet terugdraaien. Immers zaken
als ons recht op privacy waren we al bijna kwijt voor de Coronacrisis
en daar blijft nu bijna helemaal niets van over en uiteraard is dat
een geschenk
voor
diezelfde overheid, politie en geheime diensten
waarmee de schending van ook andere burgerrechten heel makkelijk wordt gemaakt**.

Verder
is het ons een stuk moeilijker gemaakt om ons voor één doel te
verenigen, niet alleen dat: zelfs als zou je daadwerkelijk
verzetsdaden willen verrichten is dat door de enorme controle en de
meer dan schandelijke spoedwet een heel stuk moeilijker geworden en
voor velen zelfs onmogelijk…….

Whitehead
gaat uitvoerig in op een aantal onderwerpen, zoals het onvermogen van
de overheid om ons leven, onze vrijheid en ons geluk te beschermen.
Ook schenkt hij aandacht aan het feit dat de opvolgende presidenten in de VS zich meer en
meer gedragen als een keizer van een imperium (nu moet ik zeggen dat
dit al heel lang het geval is in het hysterische VS, het geschreeuw,

oplichter Jessias Klaver……). En vergeet niet dat de VS in feite als het Vierde Rijk kan worden gezien…… Verder noemt Whitehead de
gemilitariseerde politie in de VS, een macht op zich, die de bevolking terroriseert en beschikt over wapentuig dat op het
slagveld thuishoort…… Ook lijkt het wel of de politie in de VS
willekeurig mensen neerschiet, willekeurige arrestaties uitvoert en mensen fouilleert waarbij ‘de zoektocht’ zelfs doorgaat tot in
het lichaam……..

2020:
The Year the Tree of Liberty Was Torched

By
John W. Whitehead

The people
are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power.
The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will
fix everything. We
are the government
.”—John Lennon

December 29, 2020

–  No doubt about it: 2020—a terrible, horrible, no good, very
bad year for freedom—was the culmination of a terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad decade for freedom.

Government corruption,
tyranny, and abuse coupled with a Big Brother-knows-best mindset and
the COVID-19 pandemic propelled us at warp speed towards a full-blown
police state in which nationwide lockdowns, egregious surveillance,
roadside strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens,
censorship, retaliatory arrests, the criminalization of lawful
activities, warmongering, indefinite detentions, SWAT team raids,
asset forfeiture, police brutality, profit-driven prisons, and
pay-to-play politicians were accepted as the norm.

Here’s just a small
sampling of the laundry list of abuses—cruel, brutal, immoral,
unconstitutional and unacceptable—that have been heaped upon us by
the government over the past two decades and in the past year, in
particular.

The government
failed to protect our lives, liberty and happiness.

The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms, our
communities, and our lives. The government didn’t listen to the
citizenry, refused to abide by the Constitution, and treated the
citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers
shot unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government
agents—including local police—were armed to the teeth and
encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government
agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers. Government technicians
spied on our emails and phone calls. And government contractors made
a killing by waging endless wars abroad.

The American
President became more imperial.

Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific,
limited powers, in recent years, American presidents (Trump, Obama,
Bush, Clinton, etc.) claimed the power to completely and almost
unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill.
The powers that have been amassed by each successive president
through the negligence of Congress and the courts—powers which add
up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whoever
occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and
beyond any real accountability. The presidency itself has become an
imperial one with permanent powers.

Militarized
police became a power unto themselves, 911 calls turned deadly, and
traffic stops took a turn for the worse.
Lacking
in transparency and accountability, protected by the courts and
legislators, and rife with misconduct, America’s police forces
continued to be a menace to the citizenry and the rule of law.
Despite concerns about the government’s steady transformation of
local police into a standing military army, local police agencies
acquired
even more weaponry
, training and equipment suited for the
battlefield. Police officers were also given free range to pull
anyone over for a variety of reasons and subject them to forced
cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced
breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans,
forced inclusion in biometric databases.

The courts
failed to uphold justice.

With every ruling handed down, it becomes more apparent that we live
in an age of hollow justice, with government courts more concerned
with protecting government agents than upholding the rights of “we
the people.” This is true at all levels of the judiciary, but
especially so in the highest court of the land, the U.S. Supreme
Court, which is seemingly more concerned with establishing order and
protecting government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined
in the Constitution. A review of critical court rulings over the past
two decades, including some ominous ones by the U.S. Supreme Court,
reveals a startling and steady trend towards pro-police state rulings
by an institution concerned more with establishing order and
protecting the ruling class and government agents than with upholding
the rights enshrined in the Constitution.

COVID-19
allowed the Emergency State to expand its powers.

What started out as an apparent effort to prevent a novel coronavirus
from sickening the nation (and the world) became yet another means by
which world governments (including our own) could expand their
powers, abuse their authority, and further oppress their
constituents. While COVID-19 took a significant toll on the nation
emotionally, physically, and economically, it also allowed the
government to trample our rights in the so-called name of national
security, with talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies,
screening checkpoints, contact tracing, immunity passports, forced
vaccinations, snitch tip lines and onerous lockdowns.

The
Surveillance State rendered Americans vulnerable to threats from
government spies, police, hackers and power failures.
Thanks
to the government’s ongoing efforts to build massive databases
using emerging surveillance, DNA and biometrics technologies,
Americans have become sitting ducks for hackers and government spies
alike. Billions
of people have been affected by data breaches and cyberattacks.

On a daily basis, Americans have been made to relinquish the most
intimate details of who we are—our biological makeup, our genetic
blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure,
fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to navigate
an increasingly technologically-enabled world
.

America became
a red flag nation.

Red flag laws, specifically, and pre-crime laws generally push us
that much closer towards a suspect society where everyone is
potentially guilty of some crime or another and must be preemptively
rendered harmless. Where many Americans go wrong is in naively
assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or harmful in
order to be flagged and targeted for some form of intervention or
detention. In fact, all you need to do these days to end up on a
government watch list or be subjected to heightened scrutiny is use
certain trigger words
(like cloud, pork and pirates), surf the
internet, communicate using a cell phone, limp
or stutter
, drive
a car
, stay at a hotel, attend a political rally, express
yourself on social media
, appear
mentally ill
, serve in the military,
disagree
with a law enforcement official
, call
in sick to work
, purchase materials at a hardware store, take
flying or boating lessons, appear
suspicious
, appear confused or nervous, fidget or whistle or
smell bad, be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely
resembling a gun (such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a
walking cane), stare
at a police officer
, question government authority, appear
to be pro-gun or pro-freedom
, or generally live in the United
States. Be warned: once you get on such a government watch
list—whether it’s a terrorist watch list, a mental health watch
list, a dissident watch list, or a red flag gun watch list—there’s
no clear-cut way to get off, whether or not you should actually be on
there.

The cost of
policing the globe drove the nation deeper into debt.

America’s
war spending has 
already bankrupted
the nation
 to
the tune of more than $20 trillion dollars. Policing the globe and
waging endless wars abroad hasn’t made America—or the rest of the
world—any safer, but it has made the military industrial complex
rich at taxpayer expense. The U.S. military reportedly has more than
1.3
million

men and women on active duty, with more
than 200,000 of them stationed overseas
in nearly every country
in the world. Yet America’s military forces aren’t being deployed
abroad to protect our freedoms here at home. Rather, they’re being
used to guard oil fields, build foreign infrastructure and protect
the financial interests of the corporate elite. In fact, the United
States military spends about $81
billion a year just to protect oil supplies around the world
.
This is how a military empire occupies the globe. Meanwhile,
America’s infrastructure is falling apart.

Free speech
was dealt one knock-out punch after another.

Protest
laws
, free speech zones, bubble zones, trespass zones,
anti-bullying legislation, zero tolerance policies, hate crime laws,
shadow banning on the Internet, and a host of other legalistic
maladies dreamed up by politicians and prosecutors (and championed by
those who want to suppress speech with which they might disagree)
conspired to corrode our core freedoms, purportedly for our own good.
On paper—at least according to the U.S. Constitution—we are
technically free to speak. In reality, however, we are only as free
to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as
Facebook, Google or YouTube—may allow. The reasons for such
censorship
varied widely from political correctness, so-called safety concerns
and bullying to national security and hate crimes but the end result
remained the same: the complete eradication of free speech.

The Deep State
took over.

The American system of representative government has been overthrown
by the Deep State—a.k.a. the police state a.k.a. the
military/corporate industrial complex—a profit-driven, militaristic
corporate state bent on total control and global domination through
the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars
abroad. The “government of the people, by the people, for the
people” has perished. In its place is a shadow government, a
corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully
operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence,
running the country and calling the shots in Washington DC, no matter
who sits in the White House. Mind you, by “government,” I’m not
referring to the highly partisan, two-party bureaucracy of the
Republicans and Democrats. Rather, I’m referring to “government”
with a capital “G,” the entrenched Deep State that is unaffected
by elections, unaltered by populist movements, and has set itself
beyond the reach of the law. This is the hidden face of a government
that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry. This shadow
government
, which “operates
according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in
power
,” makes a mockery of elections and the entire concept of
a representative government.

The takeaway:
Everything the founders of this country feared has come to dominate
in modern America. “We the people” have been saddled with a
government that is no longer friendly to freedom and is working
overtime to trample the Constitution underfoot and render the
citizenry powerless in the face of the government’s power grabs,
corruption and abusive tactics.

So how do you balance
the scales of justice at a time when Americans are being tasered,
tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, hit with batons, shot with rubber
bullets and real bullets, blasted with sound cannons, detained
in cages and kennels
, sicced by police dogs, arrested and jailed
for challenging the government’s excesses, abuses and power-grabs,
and then locked down and stripped of any semblance of personal
freedom?

No matter who sits in
the White House, politics won’t fix a system that is broken beyond
repair.

For that matter,
protests and populist movements also haven’t done much to push back
against an authoritarian regime that is deaf to our cries, dumb to
our troubles, blind to our needs, and accountable to no one.

So how do you not only
push back against the government’s bureaucracy, corruption and
cruelty but also launch a counterrevolution aimed at reclaiming
control over the government using nonviolent means?

You start by changing
the rules and engaging in some (nonviolent) guerilla tactics.

Take your cue from the
Tenth Amendment and nullify everything the government does that flies
in the face of the principles on which this nation was founded. If
there is any means left to us for thwarting the government in its
relentless march towards outright dictatorship, it may rest with the
power of juries and local governments to invalidate governmental
laws, tactics and policies that are illegitimate, egregious or
blatantly unconstitutional.

In an age in which
government officials accused of wrongdoing—police officers, elected
officials, etc.—are treated with general leniency, while the
average citizen is prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
nullification is a powerful reminder that, as the Constitution tells
us, “we the people” are the government.

For too long we’ve
allowed our so-called “representatives” to call the shots. Now
it’s time to restore the citizenry to their rightful place in the
republic: as the masters, not the servants.

Nullification is one
way of doing so.

America was meant to
be primarily a system of local governments, which is a far cry from
the colossal federal bureaucracy we have today. Yet if our freedoms
are to be restored, understanding what is transpiring practically in
your own backyard—in one’s home, neighborhood, school district,
town council—and taking action at that local level must be the
starting point.

Responding to unmet
local needs and reacting to injustices is what grassroots activism is
all about. Attend local city council meetings, speak up at town hall
meetings, organize protests and letter-writing campaigns, employ
“militant nonviolent resistance” and civil disobedience, which
Martin Luther King Jr. used to great effect through the use of
sit-ins, boycotts and marches.

The power to change
things for the better rests with us, not the politicians.

As long as we continue
to allow callousness, cruelty, meanness, immorality, ignorance,
hatred, intolerance, racism, militarism, materialism, meanness and
injustice—magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and
government-sanctioned brutality—to trump justice, fairness and
equality, there can be no hope of prevailing against the police
state.

We could transform
this nation if only Americans would work together to harness the
power of their discontent and push back against the government’s
overreach, excesses and abuse.

As I make clear in my
book 
Battlefield
America: The War on the American People
,
the police state is marching forward, more powerful than ever.

If there is to be any
hope for freedom in 2021, it rests with “we the people.”

Bedrijven die al door de reguliere media worden geholpen, neem palmolie waar ten behoeve van palmolieplantages oerwoud in brand wordt gestoken, de reguliere media houden daarbij bedrijven als Unilever uit de wind, immers zij zouden alleen gebruikmaken van duurzame palmolie, terwijl de vraag naar palmolie al zorgt voor het nog meer in brand steken van oerwoud (waarover die media met geen woord spreken…..) Deze media houden verder hun mond over het feit dat palmolie, wat in zoveel etenswaren is verwerkt, uitermate slecht is voor het lichaam…. Overheden houden bedrijven als Unilever de hand boven het hoofd, hoe vroom ze ook spreken over het stoppen van de klimaatverandering….. (wat jammer genoeg niet eens mogelijk is!!!)

Trump: pardon voor oorlogsmisdadigers maar niet voor Julian Assange of Edward Snowden

In
het echt progressieve deel van de VS hoopte men dat Trump in zijn
laatste weken als zittend president Julian Assange en Edward Snowden
een pardon zou geven, echter helaas is dat niet gebeurd en het zal
‘ook niet’ gebeuren. Behoorlijk dom trouwens dat men dit geloofde,
immers zowel Snowden als Assange zijn door de reguliere media in de
VS (en de rest van het westen) al jarenlang afgemaakt als verraders en dat op zo’n manier dat je van
hersenspoelen kan spreken……. Hoewel Trump deze media voor het
overgrote deel ‘fake media’ noemt, is het laatste wat hij wil dat zijn
achterban hem als vriend van verraders zal gaan zien…….

Caitlin
Johnstone schreef een kort en bondig artikel over deze zaak en gaat
verder in op de beloften die Trump deed tijdens de verkiezingsstrijd
in 2016, zoals het beëindigen van de (illegale) oorlogen die de VS
destijds voerde (‘getting the troops home’), iets waar bitter weinig
van terecht is gekomen en de VS zou nu zelfs meer troepen in het
buitenland hebben dan voor Trumps aantreden, niet zo vreemd daar
Trump het Pentagon toestemming gaf om naar eigen inzicht meer troepen
in te zetten…… Overigens, ook het aantal bommen dat werd
afgeworpen is nog weer groter dan onder Obama die George W. Bush weer
overtrof (terwijl aan Obama de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede werd toegekend…)….

Over die illegale oorlogen gesproken en zoals je al in de kop kon lezen: Trump heeft gisteren 3 oorlogsmisdadigers, die een levenslange gevangenisstraf moesten uitzitten, pardon gegeven, dus deze vreselijke moordenaars mogen naar huis, terwijl degenen die oorlogsmisdaden aan het licht brachten geen pardon krijgen en Julian Assange zelfs in isolatiefolter gevangenzit…… Mede daarom wil ik nog eens opmerken dat het journaille van de reguliere westerse (massa-) media zich de ogen uit de kop moet schamen dat ze Assange zo hebben gedemoniseerd, NB een gelauwerd collega van hen die uitstekend werk verrichtte in het openbaren van o.a. oorlogsmisdaden door VS militairen begaan, een collega die ze dagelijks zouden moeten ophemelen tezamen met de eis hem onmiddellijk vrij te laten, wat een geteisem!!! (en dat tuig heeft het gore lef om zich onafhankelijk te noemen…..)

Voorts
wijst Caitlin volkomen terecht op het feit dat Obama meer
vluchtelingen deporteerde dan Trump….. Waar Obama wordt gevierd als
groot strijder voor mensenrechten en hij zichzelf flink wat veren in
de vieze oorlogsmisdadige reet stak in het boek dat onlangs werd uitgegeven……. Met de uitgave van zijn boek heeft Obama interviews gegeven in de landen waar het valse flutboek werd uitgebracht, maar
hij wilde niet dat journalisten hem interviewden, nee bekende
schrijvers in die landen kregen deze taak….. Dat laatste was niet
voor niets, immers er zouden nog steeds journalisten kunnen zijn die
hem het vuur aan de schenen zouden hebben gelegd…… Schande dat
die schrijvers akkoord gingen met deze gang van zaken zoals de
Nederlandse broodschrijver en kakzever de luxe Tommy Wieringa, wat
overigens ook geldt voor het programma Nieuwsuur…… (Nieuwsuur van
de zogenaamd onafhankelijke partijen NOS en NTR…..)

Everyone
Was Wrong About Trump

by
Caitlin
Johnstone

After
weeks of speculation and desperate hopes that Donald Trump might be
preparing to 
pardon
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden

and/or
WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange

before leaving office on January 20th, what the latest round of
presidential pardons has delivered is about as far from that as you
can conceivably imagine.

“In
an audacious pre-Christmas round of pardons, President Trump granted
clemency on Tuesday to two people convicted in the special counsel’s
Russia inquiry, four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with
the killing of Iraqi civilians and three corrupt former Republican
members of Congress,” the
New
York Times
reports.

I
probably don’t need to tell my regular readers this, but a Trump
pardon for Assange and Snowden is almost certainly not in the cards.
Trump has done nothing but protect the imperial status quo the entire
time he’s been in office and a pardon for either of those heroic
government transparency advocates would be a deviation from his
established patterns unlike anything he’s ever once demonstrated
while in office. It’s
good
to pressure politicians to do the right thing

even when they probably won’t, but it’s a safe bet that he won’t.

Trump’s
entire term has revealed that virtually everyone, all across the US
political spectrum, has been wrong about him. And it’s a testament to
the power of media echo chambers that for the most part they remain
just as wrong about him as they were four years ago.

To
this day, even after four years of evidence to the contrary, Trump
supporters still believe their president has been ending the wars,
draining the swamp, and fighting the Deep State. They believe he’s
fighting the Deep State even after
he
imprisoned Assange
.
They believe he’s ending the wars even as he’s
ramped
up cold war aggressions

against Russia, 
killed
tens of thousands of Venezuelans
 with
starvation sanctions, 
vetoed
attempts to save Yemen
 from
U.S.-backed genocide, is 
working
to foment civil war in Iran
 using starvation
sanctions
 and CIA
ops
 with the
stated goal
 of
effecting regime change, 
occupied
Syrian oil fields
 with
the goal of preventing Syria’s reconstruction, 
greatly
increased
 the
number of troops in the Middle East and elsewhere,
greatly 
increased the number
of bombs dropped per day
 from
the previous administration, killing 
record
numbers of civilians
,
and 
reduced
military accountability
 for
those airstrikes. They believe he’s draining the swamp after
packing
his cabinet

with establishment swamp monsters.

To
this day, even after four years of evidence to the contrary, liberals
are still convinced that Trump is a servant of Russia who has spent
his term advancing the interests of Vladimir Putin. They believe this
even as he’s been
shredding
treaties with Russia
,
bombing the Syrian
government

and
arming
Ukraine

(
both
of
which
Obama refused to do),
many
sanctions and many other escalations
 directly
against the interests and safety of Russia.

To
this day, even after four years of evidence to the contrary, many on
the left still continue
their
frequent claims

that Trump is a uniquely fascistic or Hitler-like president, despite
his having
far
fewer deportations

than Obama had. And despite the fact that he will with absolute
certainty leave office on January 20th after losing an election.

All
sides pretended that Trump was a radical deviation from the norm, and
so did Trump, when all he actually did throughout his entire time in
office was protect the status quo just like his predecessors did. As
writer and activist Sam Husseini recently
put
it
,
“Trump is the opposable thumb of the establishment. He looks
like he’s on the opposite side, but he just helps it grab more.”

@caitoz

Only if you assume that Trump has ever had any real interest in rocking the boat in any meaningful way. He doesn’t. He’s done nothing but protect the status quo throughout his entire term. https://twitter.com/Jeannin55385803/status/1341550885726404608

47 people are talking about this

After
four years everyone–left, right and center–has been proven wrong
about Trump. He was neither a uniquely evil monster (he was
indisputably not even as bad as Bush), nor a populist hero draining
the swamp and fighting for the common man against the Deep State.

In
actuality Trump’s term has clearly established what he really was
this entire time: he was a US president. Better than some, worse than
others, but also deeply awful all around since he voluntarily served
as the face of the most evil and destructive force on earth, namely
the United States government. He was the same kind of monster as his
predecessors.

Trump
was a US president of fairly average depravity, with a truly massive
overlay of narrative heaped on top of him by partisan media on all
sides. In reality he was pretty much what you’d get if you took any
average American Fox News-watching boomer who yells at Obama on TV,
made him rich, and then made him president.

That’s
what Trump is and has been. Nothing more extraordinary than that. It
is only the effectiveness of echo chambers and the human tendency to
prioritize narrative over factual data which prevents more people
from seeing this.

And
now he is leaving, with his imaginary crimes still held as real and
his actual crimes completely ignored. Humanity will not be able to
create a healthy world until we find a way to
transcend
our unhealthy and delusional relationship with mental narrative

which so easily obscures our perspective of what’s really happening.

Deep State een complottheorie van gekkies? Lees dit!!

Deep
State, een geheim machtsnetwerk dat onafhankelijk van de politiek
werkelijk aan de touwtjes trekt, zou een complottheorie van gekkies
zijn, zo laten de reguliere westerse media en politici keer op keer
weten, je weet wel dezelfde media en politiek die de illegale
oorlogen van de VS gebaseerd op leugens van meet af aan hebben gesteund…….
Deze media en politiek houden nog steeds vol dat deze oorlogen
gerechtvaardigd waren en dat nog zijn, ook al zal het een ieder die
een beetje moeite neemt duidelijk zijn dat het tegendeel waar
is……. 

Die illegale oorlogen (niet op basis van een VN resolutie) werden aangegaan door de VS met hulp van haar
NAVO-partners en zoals gezegd met een rechtvaardiging gebaseerd op
smerige leugens, neem de illegale oorlog tegen Irak die in 2003 begon
en in feite nog voortduurt met een dodental van over de 2
miljoen, zou gerechtvaardigd zijn door massavernietigingswapens, die het land niet in het bezit kon hebben, zoals VN wapeninspecteur Blix tot vervelens liet weten al voordat de VS deze illegale oorlog begon en inderdaad deze wapens werden niet gevonden…… (geen westers mediaorgaan als de grote kranten die achter deze oorlog stonden en de leugens bleven herhalen, hebben achteraf een rectificatie geplaatst, integendeel men bleef zoals gezegd deze oorlogen steunen en dat tot de dag van vandaag….)

Een
vertegenwoordiger van Deep State, James Jeffrey, vertrekkend speciaal
gezant voor de VS in Syrië, gaf in een interview op ‘Defense One’
toe dat VS beambten een spelletje hebben gespeeld wat betreft het aantal
militairen in Syrië en wel zo dat de Trump administratie geen idee
heeft hoeveel troepen er in Syrië zijn….. Ho, iets te snel door de
bocht, volgens die administratie zijn er nog 200 militairen in Syrië,
maar het werkelijke aantal is minstens 900 en waarschijnlijk zelfs
meer dan dat aantal, echter e.e.a. is geheim en wordt niet
geopenbaard, zelfs niet aan de ‘regering Trump……’ Al moet gezegd worden dat Trump het Pentagon carte blanche gaf om naar eigen inzicht troepen in te zetten……..

Jeffrey stelt verder dat er geen sprake was van een terugtrekking van troepen uit Syrië door de Trump administratie, dat wilde Trump wel, maar men heeft hem een paar keer kunnen overtuigen dit vooral niet te doen…… (en reken maar dat de wapenindustrie en de geheime diensten daar een rol in hebben gespeeld……)

Overigens het feit dat er veel meer militairen zijn in Syrië dan de Trump administratie weet is verder niet zo
vreemd als je bedenkt dat de VS het belangrijkste olieveld van Syrië
onder controle heeft, daar heb je wel wat meer dan 200 militairen
voor nodig, al moet niet vergeten worden dat de VS in datzelfde
gebied terreurgroepen beschermt, waaronder een groot aantal ISIS terroristen……. Moet je nagaan: de reden die de VS gaf om haar troepen in
Syrië te houden was om te voorkomen dat ISIS weer aan macht zou kunnen winnen……

In het
hieronder opgenomen artikel van Caitlin Johnstone stelt zij dat het
niet de eerste keer is dat een beambte van buitenlandse zaken
toegeeft dat zaken anders zijn dan men denkt, zo werd eerder dit jaar
toegegeven dat de VS in Syrië blijft om een moeras voor de Russen
(en Iraniërs) te creëren, een moeras waarin ze moeten
verdrinken……. Echter vergeet niet dat de VS nu de inkomsten uit
het door haar illegaal bezette olieveld inpikt; waar Trump eerder al
een paar keer liet weten dat de VS niet voor niets (illegaal) oorlog
voert, ofwel het slachtofferland, in dit geval Syrië, moet betalen
voor de terreur die de VS heeft uitgestort over haar volk en
land……. Hoe smerig wil je het hebben???

Het is een gotspe dat het wat betreft het buitenlandbeleid van de VS niet uitmaakt wie president is, daar degenen die dat agressieve beleid propageren dezelfde partijen zijn die achter de schermen werkelijk uitmaken wat er op dat gebied gebeurt….. Dit geldt overigens ook voor het regeringsbeleid in de VS zelf, er zijn amper veranderingen te zien of er nu een Republikein dan wel een Democraat in het Witte Huis zit: de macht van de financiële sector, de farmaceuten, de wapenfabrikanten en het andere grote bedrijfsleven (waaronder bijvoorbeeld de grote landbouw, inclusief de veeteelt) maken uit waar het grote geld naartoe gaat…….. Een macht die ze bij elke verkiezing weer veiligstellen door enorme bedragen uit te geven voor de campagnes van de Republikeinen en Democraten…… 

Dat de veiligheidsdiensten, die deel uitmaken van Deep State, amper of niet worden gecontroleerd door Washington is een publiek geheim, terwijl deze diensten grote invloed hebben op het regeringsbeleid in de VS……. (weer: neem de leugens die tot de illegale oorlogen van de VS hebben geleid, stuk voor stuk uit de koker van geheime diensten als de CIA en NSA…..)

Lees het
artikel van Caitlin en geeft het door, tijd dat men wakker wordt en
ziet welke gore spelletjes er worden gespeeld en dat men begrijpt dat
Deep State allesbehalve een complottheorie is!!

Unelected
Officials Override The President To Continue Wars… But Only Kooks
Believe In The Deep State

by Caitlin
Johnstone

Outgoing
US envoy to Syria James Jeffrey stated in
a
recent interview with
Defense
One

that US officials have been “playing shell games” about the
number of troops in the region to deceive the Trump administration
into thinking there has been a military withdrawal. Here are some
excerpts:

We
were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership
how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The
actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than”
the two hundred troops Trump agreed to leave there in 2019.

“What
Syria withdrawal? There was never a Syria withdrawal,” Jeffrey
said. “When the situation in northeast Syria had been fairly stable
after we defeated ISIS, [Trump] was inclined to pull out. In each
case, we then decided to come up with five better arguments for why
we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. That’s the
story.”

Officially, Trump last year agreed to keep about
200 U.S. troops stationed in northeast Syria to “secure” oil
fields held by the United States’ Kurdish allies in the fight
against ISIS. It is generally accepted that the actual number is now
higher than that — anonymous officials put the number at about 900
today — but the precise figure is classified and remains unknown
even, it appears, to members of Trump’s administration keen to end
the so-called “forever wars.”

Some
mass media propagandists
find
it hilarious

that the US war machine used deceit to thwart the president’s
attempts to withdraw from its illegal occupation of Syria:

US
officials have been lying to Trump – and the American people – about
the true number of US troops in Syria in order to deter him from
withdrawing them, according to the outgoing Syria envoy. Trump thinks
it’s 200 . By

This
would not be the first time that Jeffrey, a foreign policy insider
with
the
past three presidential administrations
,
has admitted to deceiving the public about what’s happening in Syria.
Earlier this year
he
admitted

at a Hudson Institute video event (these Beltway insiders
always
get extra honest

in the company of fellow think tank denizens) that, contrary to the
official public narrative of the US military being in Syria to fight
terrorism, it’s actually there to create “a quagmire for the
Russians”.

This
would also not be the first time we’ve heard reports of the US war
machine hiding the facts from the elected commander-in-chief of the
most powerful military force ever assembled. Last year 
The
New York Times

cited anonymous US officials in a report on cyber intrusion
operations against the Russian government that the US military had
deliberately kept Trump in the dark about.

“Two
administration officials said they believed Mr. Trump had not been
briefed in any detail about the steps to place ‘implants’ —
software code that can be used for surveillance or attack — inside
the Russian grid,” NYT
reports.
“Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation
to go into detail with Mr. Trump about operations against Russia for
concern over his reaction — and the possibility that he might
countermand it or discuss it with foreign officials.”

America’s
special envoy to Syria publicly admits that the continued illegal US
military occupation of parts of the country isn’t about fighting ISIS
or other terrorists, as Washington claims. Instead the US aims to
“make it a quagmire for the Russians.”

Mainstream
liberal US discourse has accomplished an amazing feat of Orwellian
doublethink with regard to the notion that unelected power structures
are running things without the consent of the nation’s official
elected government. On the one hand there’s been a nonstop deluge of
Daily
Beast

articles since Trump’s election saying anyone who dares to suggest
the existence of a “deep state” in America is a conspiracy
kook, but on the other hand there’s also been constant praise for the
insider “adults in the room” who ensure from within the
administration that Trump doesn’t demolish America’s precious norms
while in office.

This
cognitive two-step became even more reified after comments from the
likes of Iraq war architect Bill Kristol
tweeting
that he’d “prefer the deep state to the Trump state”, and
the famous anonymous
New
York Times

op-ed

authored by a “senior official in the Trump administration”
(now
known
to have been

former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Miles
Taylor) saying administration officials are working together against
Trump to “thwart parts of his agenda and his worst
inclinations”.

The
understanding of a deep state in America has become even more
obfuscated by the other side of America’s fake partisan divide, with
Trump supporters now using that term to essentially mean “anyone
who doesn’t like Donald Trump”. That erroneous understanding has
now become so prevalently associated with the term “deep state”
that it has lost all use in meaningful discourse and is better off
being avoided altogether if you want to point at something real.

In
reality the term deep state is meant to refer not to anyone who
opposes Trump, nor to a secret cabal of baby-eating Satanists, but
simply to the tendency among government agencies and plutocrats to
form loose alliances with each other and collaborate toward common
agendas. It’s a term used for political analysis to describe
large-scale power agendas that are largely playing out right out in
the open,
hidden
in plain sight
.

It
doesn’t take a ton of investigative reporting and WikiLeaks drops to
understand that there’s been a collective of operatives mostly
running the Trump administration while the actual elected president
yells at the talking heads on Fox News and tweets. It’s also not hard
to
brush
away the insubstantial narrative fluff

and see that US policies have remained more or less unbroken
regardless of which elected officials have been in office, and it
doesn’t take a Nostradamus to predict that that will continue to be
the case after Trump is replaced by the next empty husk in the White
House.

The
US government simply is not what Americans were taught it is in
school, and it is not what they tell you it is in the news. It’s a
mostly unelected power establishment which operates in the interests
of imperialist expansionism and oligarchic control, with the official
elected government operating sort of like the unplugged video game
controller you hand your kid brother to keep him from whining for a
chance to play.

All
this fuss over who really won the election is missing the point.
People are bickering over which oligarchic puppet should be sworn in
on January 20th when all the evidence we’ve been given shows that
nobody gets to become president if they inconvenience real power in
any way, and if they do inconvenience real power they are simply
ignored.

That
is the direction we should all be looking. Not in who’s president,
but why things stay the same no matter who’s president.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: de D.C.C.C. heeft elke firma geblokkeerd die het best is in digitaal organiseren: zo houden de Democraten links buiten de deur

Gisteren
heb ik toevallig al geschreven over de ruzie die in de
Democratische Partij is uitgebroken na de presidentsverkiezingen*, die wat
betreft het congres desastreus zijn verlopen voor de Democraten, zo bezien hebben de Democraten niet alleen geen meerderheid weten te
behalen in de senaat, maar verliezen ze ook de meerderheid in het
huis van afgevaardigden (het lager huis), waarmee de Republikeinen
het congres in haar geheel beheersen en het Biden zeer moeilijk
kunnen maken om te kunnen regeren zonder presidentiële decreten….. (echter er volgt op 5 januari 2021 nog een  senaatsverkiezing in Georgia, als Biden die verliest is hij de sjaak)

In
eerste instantie heeft de Democratische neoliberale top de schuld
voor deze zaak neergelegd bij de progressieven in de partij of zoals
men in de VS zegt ‘links’, helaas voor hen volkomen tevergeefs daar
de progressieve of linkse krachten uit de Democratische Partij het
juist wel goed hadden gedaan en werden beloond voor hun Green New
Deal en andere zaken waarvoor ze vochten…..

Echter
de conservatieve Democraten (bijna zonder uitzondering steenrijk) en
Biden, ofwel zijn puppeteers, hebben de macht in de Democratische
Partij en willen niets weten van links, zo kunnen Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Bernie Sanders en Elizabeth Warren het wel
vergeten wat betreft een vooraanstaande functie in de Biden
administratie……*

Erger
nog, naar nu blijkt heeft de D.C.C.C., de officiële Democratische
campagne tak voor het congres, een zwarte lijst opgesteld met firma’s
die van de ingeslapen Democratische leden weer springlevende
progressieven zouden kunnen maken, waarmee de partij in een volgende
verkiezingsronde wel kan scoren in verkiezingen die bepalen wie de macht heeft in het congres……..

JusticeDemocrats.com
is een actie begonnen om wel meer progressieven in het congres te
krijgen, echter ik denk dat dit een verloren wedstrijd is, immers de
top heeft de poen en de macht in de partij. Deze figuren maken deals met grote
bedrijven, de financiële maffia, de georganiseerde misdadigers van
de farmaceuten en natuurlijk niet te vergeten de doodsindustrie van
de gewetenloze en moorddadige wapenfabrikanten, bedrijven die voor een fiks deel het regeringsbeleid bepalen (en worden gezien als onderdeel van Deep State…..)…..

Er
staat de echt linkse leden van de Democraten niets anders te doen dan
een nieuwe partij op te zetten en hoe langer men daarmee wacht des te
moeilijker zal het hen worden gemaakt!! (althans dat is mijn idee). Hier de petitie van JusticeDemocrats.com, die wij uiteraard niet kunnen tekenen:

So
the D.C.C.C. banned every single firm that is the best in the country
at digital organizing.” – AOC

JusticeDemocrats.com
via Progress America <progress@progressamerica.us>

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke outside her campaign office in the Bronx on Election Day.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Biden’s Win, House Losses, and What’s Next for the Left (NYT)

In
early 2019, the Democratic Party’s official congressional campaign
arm (the DCCC)
blacklisted
consultants and vendors working with progressive primary challengers.
Check
out this quote about the DCCC blacklist from AOC’s
New
York Times

interview:

If
you are the D.C.C.C., and you’re hemorrhaging incumbent candidates
to progressive insurgents, you would think that you may want to use
some of those firms. But instead, we banned them. So the D.C.C.C.
banned every single firm that is the best in the country at digital
organizing.”

This
is the DCCC’s priority structure. It would rather protect corporate
incumbents and prevent vendors from working with progressive
candidates than allow House Democrats to work with some of the best
campaign organizers in the country.  

 The
deck is stacked against diverse, working-class challengers. Justice
Democrats exist as a counterbalance to this broken system and are
fighting to transform the Democratic Party. Will you add your name to
our petition calling for an end to the destructive DCCC blacklist?

ADD YOUR NAMEThis
is just the beginning. For years, corporate and moderate Democrats
have refused to adhere to the advice of progressives, and have
dedicated lopsided proportions of resources and time to blunt
progressive momentum.
That
hurts all of us.

Here’s
the reality of our future that corporate incumbents don’t want to
acknowledge. In the 2020 elections, every single swing seat Democrat
who sponsored Medicare for All was reelected. 75% of swing seat
Democrats who supported a Green New Deal were reelected. There is
energy here, no matter how hard they try to deny it.  

 We
can already see the rumblings of another fight between corporate
incumbents and progressives. And the DCCC blacklist hurts progressive
challengers trying to win tough elections. Can you sign our petition
to end the DCCC blacklist and help our progressive fight? 

ADD YOUR NAME

Russiagate was een middel om de Koude Oorlog tegen Rusland te doen herleven

Caitlin Johnstone heeft een opzienbarende analyse gemaakt over Russiagate die
een ander licht werpt op deze zaak: het was geen couppoging tegen
Trump, zoals o.a. Sean Davis van The Federalist concludeerde, waar hij
stelde dat de directeur van de CIA, hare bloedige kwaadaardigheid Gina Haspel,
persoonlijk de poging heeft geblokkeerd om documenten vrij te geven
die e.e.a. zouden aantonen.

Volgens
Johnstone maakt het niet uit of Davis met zijn bewering wel of geen
gelijk heeft, maar dat het wel interessant is te zien dat Haspel
flink haar best heeft gedaan om Trump te bewegen de Koude Oorlog
tegen Rusland te doen herleven en dat zij één van de architecten is
van de hernieuwde Koude Oorlog (2.0) tegen Rusland, iets dat je
overigens de hardliners van de Demoncraten uh Democraten ook kan verwijten, vergeet
niet dat deze figuren in de zak zitten van wapenfabrikanten in de
breedste zin van het woord….. (het hoeft geen betoog dat een flink
aantal Republikeinen volkomen achter deze Koude Oorlog 2.0 staat,
Republikeinen die Russiagate als een couppoging tegen Trump
zagen en zien) Het is duidelijk dat Russiagate ervoor heeft gezorgd dat deze
Koude Oorlog inderdaad opnieuw is opgetuigd….

Volgens
Johnstone is Russiagate een ‘PSYOP’ (psychologische operatie) van het
geheime diensten kartel in de VS dat meer dan 25 geheime diensten
(‘inlichtingen diensten’) telt, onderdeel van Deep State, niet om
Trump uit het Witte Huis te krijgen, maar volkomen gericht tegen
Rusland…..

Niet
Trump werd het coup-slachtoffer van Russiagate*, nee Russiagate heeft
de nieuwe Koude Oorlog opgetuigd door het mogelijk maken van een hele
berg aan (loze) beschuldigingen tegen Rusland, aldus Johnstone en
gezien de gang van zaken kan ik niet anders dan haar gelijk
geven…..

Niet
alleen Rusland is de kwaaie pier, intussen worden ook China en Iran al een paar maanden lang
aangemerkt als manipulatoren van de presidentsverkiezingen in de VS,
het gaat zelfs zover dat men nu al zegt dat wanneer Trump wint,
Rusland aan het langste eind heeft getrokken, terwijl Iran en China de
grote winnaar zullen zijn als Joe Biden wint……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Zo doorzichtig dat je je werkelijk afvraagt welke hersenloze idioten van de reguliere westerse (massa-) media deze onzin nog geloven (maar men brengt deze onzin met grote graagte in die media…..)…..

De
reguliere westerse (massa-) media doen dan ook voor bijna 100% mee aan deze
hysterie van ‘kwaadaardige inmenging’ en zo kunnen de westerse bevolkingen bijna dag in
dag uit worden gehersenspoeld met dergelijke baarlijke nonsens……. (vergeet niet dat deze media en het grootste deel van de westerse poltici het lullige Russiagate sprookje ‘nog steeds geloven’ en uitdragen, ondanks dat deze leugen aan alle kanten is doorgeprikt)

Johnstone
stelt aan het eind van haar betoog terecht dat de geheime diensten in
de VS** degenen zijn die het meest hebben geprofiteerd
van Russiagate, terwijl zij deze leugen de wereld in hebben
geholpen…..

Lees
deze uitstekende analyse van Caitlin Johnstone en onthoud e.e.a. daar ook wij de komende
maanden weer heel wat gezeur over Russische inmenging in de Tweede
Kamerverkiezingen van maart komend jaar over ons heen zullen
krijgen, sterker nog de eerste claims daarover dateren alweer van een
paar maanden geleden….. In Nederland is het wel hare D666
boosaardigheid Ollongren die telkens weer met dergelijk claims komt
aanzetten, zonder ook maar één steekhoudend bewijs te kunnen
leveren, al is dat in geval van Russiagate overal het geval, veel
hysterie plus angst- en haatzaaierij resp. voor/tegen Rusland, zonder
enig bewijs daarvoor…..

All Russiagate Did Was Advance Pre-Existing Agenadas Of The Same Spy Agencies Who Started It

by Caitlin
Johnstone

Hare bloedige kwaadaardigheid Gina Haspel, directeur van terreurorganisatie CIA

One
of the many interesting stories that has gotten lost in the shuffle
over the controversy over the horrible Trump-Biden debate and the
president’s recent Covid-19 diagnosis is the recent 
allegation
by
The
Federalist
‘s
Sean Davis

that CIA director Gina Haspel has been personally blocking the
declassification of incriminating documents pertaining to the origins
of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory known as Russiagate.

Davis’
claim may be true or false, but it’s worth earmarking for later
reference given that we already know Haspel
has
been actively persuading
 the
US president to roll out cold war escalations against Russia, and
given that we know the only real changes of consequence that have
come about as a result of Russiagate are changes which advanced the
longstanding agendas of the same intelligence agencies who started
it.

The
mainstream Democratic partisan narrative has been that investigations
into possible collusion between the Trump camp and Moscow were
designed to ascertain whether the US government had been co-opted at
its highest levels by a hostile foreign power, with countless human
clickbait pundits claiming earlier in Trump’s term that these
investigations would result in Trump being dragged out of the White
House in chains. The mainstream Republican partisan narrative has
been that the president was the target of a soft coup attempt by the
deep state using false allegations of Russian collusion in an attempt
to remove him from office for standing up to the deep state.

Like
most partisan narratives, these are both false.

It
is correct that the conspiratorial allegations of Vladimir Putin
secretly controlling the executive branch of the US government were
bogus. It is also correct that Russiagate was a psyop advanced by
forces in the US intelligence cartel who are sometimes collectively
referred to as a part of the “deep state”, though that term
has become largely meaningless in recent years due to Trumpists
twisting its meaning into “Democrats and anyone who doesn’t like
Trump”. But both Republicans and Democrats are mistaken in
believing that Russiagate had anything to do with removing Trump from
office.

Russiagate
was never a deep state operation targeting Trump; Russiagate has
always been a deep state operation targeting Russia. You may be sure
this is true because while Russiagate has not had any significant
negative effect on Trump, it has greased the wheels for the
escalation of
many
new cold war aggressions

against Russia.

Russiagate wasn’t an operation by the deep state against Trump, it was an operation by the deep state against Russia. That’s why it resulted in no negative outcomes for Trump, but did facilitate mountains of cold war escalations against Russia.https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/25-times-trump-has-been-dangerously-hawkish-on-russia-ada915b07f97

Anyone
who was informed and unbiased knew that the Mueller investigation
would never touch Trump (even as a newbie at the time I
correctly 
called
it back in 2017
),
and anyone who was capable of counting Senate seats knew impeachment
would result in acquittal.

As
far as Trump’s presidential career is concerned all Russiagate ever
accomplished was galvanizing his Republican base around the
completely
false notion

that he is fighting the establishment.

But
what has Russiagate accomplished in relation to Russia? The political
pressure it placed on Trump to act tough on Moscow and the Democratic
Party’s baseless insistence that this administration is controlled by
Putin have ensured that there is nothing but acceleration for a
world-threatening
new cold war

which has seen nuclear treaties abandoned, a much more aggressive
nuclear posture against Russia, weapons sent to Ukraine, many
sanctions on Russia, airstrikes on Russia’s ally Syria, sanctions on
Russia’s ally Venezuela, the Iran deal shredded against urging from
Moscow, NATO expansionism and increased military activity at Russia’s
borders.

These
aggressions were all planned years in advance.
Obama
initiated them
,
the
frighteningly anti-Russiahawk
Hillary Clinton was
scheduled
to continue and expand

them, and then when that fell through the Russiagate contingency was
rolled out to ensure the US intelligence cartel would get its
long-sought campaign to shove Russia off the world stage and thereby
hamstring
its ally China
.

A
dodgy
intelligence assessment

on 2016 Russian election meddling by a
few
operatives who were hand-selected

by
notorious
Russophobe

and
known
perjurer

James Clapper combined with a steady stream of bogus “leaks”
like the
notoriously
false Steele dossier
 to
form the foundation of Russiagate, and it all came from the same spy
agencies whose agendas benefitted from Russiagate.

Why were FBI agents talking about people “scrambling for info to support certain things” at a time US intelligence officers were putting together their report on Russian election interference? Pretty sure conclusions are supposed to come after investigations. https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1309244723488530432

The
question “
Who
benefits from this?

is essential for understanding the world, and if you ask it of
Russiagate there is one power structure which stands head and
shoulders above everyone else. Yes, the mass media got a major
ratings bump from Russiagate, which is why they played along with it.
Yes, the Democratic Party got to neuter the progressive movement and
distract from its 2016 scandals, which is why they played along with
it. But in terms of actual changes that were implemented as a direct
result of Russiagate, the ones who gained the most were the US
intelligence collective whose pre-existing agendas were advanced by
it.

Not
only were pre-existing agendas against Russia facilitated by
Russiagate, but pre-existing agendas against the American left were
facilitated as well. The burgeoning swell of progressive populism
galvanized by the 2016 Sanders campaign would have made a lot of
warmongers nervous, and the opaque government agencies which
consistently
ally
themselves with status quo-loyal plutocrats

have a vested interest in protecting the class with which they are
allied. The fact that all oxygen was sucked from the progressive
movement into baseless Russia conspiracy theories served the same
intelligence cartel which initiated Russiagate.

In
January of last year a former Assistant Director for the FBI (the
same FBI which wordlessly allowed the bogus Steele dossier to
circulate despite
knowing
its intelligence had been compromised
)
admitted
that his work with the FBI had included actively sabotaging leftist
politicians in the United States to keep them out of government. This
officer’s
entire
FBI career

took place after J Edgar Hoover’s death and after COINTELPRO had
officially been ended.


Andrew Lawrence


@ndrew_lawrence  Uhhhhhhh….Fmr FBI Assistant Director just said “When I first got into the FBI one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try to keep” progressives out of government

Embedded video

(voor de video in dit bericht zie het origineel)

So
that’s
two
longstanding agendas of US spy agencies that were advanced by
Russiagate, a psychological operation which was launched by those
same agencies.

And
that’s all you really need to know about Russiagate: that it was
started by the same spy agencies which directly benefited from it.
Unless you were born yesterday, this will tell you that we were
conned.

And
now we’re being told that the CIA director is forcefully obstructing
transparency into the creation of that operation, even as the same
Office of the Director of National Intelligence that James Clapper
headed is
promoting
the narrative

that Iran and China are seeking to influence the US election for
Biden while Russia is seeking to influence it for Trump.

@caitoz

US Intelligence: If Trump Wins Russia Did It, If Biden Wins It Was China And Iran 

“Lastly, the dumbest thing about believing foreign nations are interfering in American democracy is believing America has any democracy to interfere with.”https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/us-intelligence-if-trump-wins-russia-did-it-if-biden-wins-it-was-china-and-iran-2fde3d11e15d 

US Intelligence: If Trump Wins Russia Did It, If Biden Wins It Was China And Iran

Back in April I said “China’s gonna be so surprised when it finds out it interfered in the November election.” medium.com

1,091  

This
narrative that we are being primed for will enable these same spy
agencies to sell the story that at least one of the governments they
have targeted for sabotage can be accused of election interference
regardless of who wins.

And
the most depressing thing about it is that they already know they’ll
be able to sell it successfully, because nobody has learned anything
over the last four years despite the transparent scam of Russiagate.
Democrats will happily keep pushing Russia conspiracy theories if
Trump wins, and Republicans will cheerfully push conspiracy theories
about China and/or Iran after a Biden win. There’s no reason to
change strategies if it’s been immensely successful. If it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it.

Watch
them.

================================== 

* Wat de
Democraten van meet af aan wisten, immers de Senaat zou nooit akkoord
gaan met een impeachment van ‘hun’ president!!

**
Niet alleen dat: alle westerse geheime diensten hebben geprofiteerd
van de Russiagate hysterie >> ze wisten daardoor veel meer bevoegdheden en geld af te dwingen (middels angst- en haatzaaierij…)…… Niet voor niets ook dat die geheime diensten
voorafgaand aan verkiezingen waar dan ook in het westen (of wat wordt
gezien als westerse landen) telkens weer lopen te mekkeren over
Russische inmenging en manipulaties, alsof men niet in staat zou zijn
om dergelijke manipulaties tegen te gaan……

9/11 werd mede georganiseerd door Israël

De aanslagen van 9/11 (2001) werden niet door Al Qaida georganiseerd, iedereen die de officiële lezing nog steeds gelooft kan hiervan overtuigd worden mits deze enige tijd steekt in het lezen van rapporten en onderzoeken door
onafhankelijke organisaties, of door verklaringen van deskundigen, politeagenten en brandweermensen >> deze
aanslagen werden minstens gepleegd met medeweten en organisatie van
de federale overheid van de VS…….

Lauren
Guyénot schreef een artikel voor The Unz Review, dat door mij werd
overgenomen van Information Clearing House (ICH). Hierin betoogt hij dat
Israël de grote dader is achter de 9/11 aanslagen in 2001, uiteraard
met de toevoeging dat e.e.a niet mogelijk was zonder de hulp van de
VS overheid…..

Eén van de grootste bewijzen dat hier enorm is gelogen is wel het feit dat de vliegtuigen onmogelijk het instorten van de WTC torens konden hebben veroorzaakt…… Over die vliegtuigen gesproken: het was destijds onmogelijk om boven de stad te vliegen zonder dat de luchtmacht in zou grijpen en oh toevel die dag waren er geen straaljagers paraat om in te grijpen, daarnaast stellen ervaren piloten dat het bijzxonder moeilijk is om met een verkeersvliegtuig zo precies de toren in te vliegen (de piloten zoude de daders zijn geweest die trainig hadden gekregen in kleine vliegtuigen, maar die niet eens wisten hoe te moeten landen…)

Moet
wel opmerken dat Gyénot vooral Israël ziet als het land dat het
meest heeft geprofiteerd van deze aanslag, echter daar ben ik het
niet mee eens, immers de werkelijke grote profiteur van deze
aanslagen is de VS zelf en daarmee bedoel ik ook het Pentagon en de
rest van het militair-industrieel complex. De oorlog tegen terreur
deed de kassa’s van de wapenindustrie hard rinkelen, terwijl
het instorten van de Sovjet-Unie er op z’n zachts gezegd voor zorgde dat de winsten
van die industrie in de tien voorgaande jaren onder druk stonden…. Als gevolg van 9/11 kreeg het Pentagon er fiks wat geld bij, terwijl de geheime diensten (meer dan 25 in de VS!!) extra geld en bevoegdheden kregen…….

Bovendien was oorlog voeren, het ultieme
gevolg van die aanslagen (zoals de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan
en Irak), ook een garantie voor extra geld in de kluizen van de
oliemaatschappijen (immers de koersen van oliemaatscfhappijen gaan dan omhoog), die daarnaast zelfs toestemming kregen voor het
winnen van olie op niet eerder geziene plekken (en dan bedoel ik niet alleen in Irak), gevolgd door de
peperdure en milieu-verrampenerende schaliegas, en -oliewinning)…. 

George W. Bush, destijds president,
stond in de peilingen over zijn populariteit lager dan
in vele decennia was gezien bij een zittende president, 9/11, de oorlog tegen terreur en de illegale oorlog tegen Afghanistan zorgden ervoor dat zijn populariteit als een speer de lucht inging……

Voorts verdween op 11 september 2001 een fiks deel van de VS
overheidsschuld, daar bepaalde servers in het WTC werden
vernietigd….. Dit nog naast het verdwijnen van een flinke voorraad goud…… Me dunkt alles bij elkaar fikse belangen voor de VS
zelf……

Al is het wel zo dat naast andere belangrijke figuren in Israël, ook Netanyahu blij was met de aanslag, daar de VS nu wist wat het betekende terreur op eigen grondgebioed te hebben (al had men daar al veel eerder meerdere terreuraanslagen), terwijl Israël al decennia te maken had met terreuraanslagen (vooral zelf uitgevoerd tegen het verdrukte Palestijnse volk…)…. Netanyahu stelde dan ook dat dit de banden tussen de twee landen verder zou versterken……. Het is wel zeker dat Israël, in de vorm van de Mossad, de geheime dienst van dat land, heeft meegeholpen aan de aanslagen…… Moet je nagaan: na de aanslagen beschuldigde men de Palestijnen er onterecht van feest te hebben gevierd n.a.v. die aanslagen….. (in New York werden 5 Joodse Israëliërs betrapt die feestvierden terwijl ze aan de overkant van een rivier de rokende puinhopen bekeken van de Twin Towers….)

Bij de aanslagen op het
WTC zouden 3.000 mensen zijn omgekomen, echter in de ‘war on terror’ die
de Bush administratie daarna ontketende zijn minstens 2 miljoen mensen
omgekomen en hebben de grote wapenfabrikanten en die van vliegend-,
varend- en rollend oorlogstuig zich helemaal scheel verdiend…… Dit
nog naast de zoals gezegd enorme budgetverhogingen voor leger en geheime diensten,
waar de laatsten ook nog eens veel meer bevoegdheden kregen, o.a.
middels de Patriot Act, die nu weer in het nieuws is daar een federale
rechter heeft bepaald dat het bespioneren van VS burgers illegaal is, dit bespioneren werd geopenbaard
door Edward Snowden in 2013…..*

Kritiek en weerlegging van de leugens over de aanslagen van 9/11 worden gezien als een complottheorieën, echter het echte complot is juist het neerhalen van de torens** middels deze ‘aanslagen’ en de aanslag op het Pentagon waarvan het vliegtuig niet werd gevonden…. Een ander vliegtuig dat gekaapt was, zou elders in een natuurgebied zijn neergestort, maar ook daarvan werd geen spoor gevonden…….
 

Lees het uitgebreide artikel van Guyénot, het is meer dan de moeite
waard en geeft ten overvloede nog eens aan dat 9/11 een false flag
operatie was ten dienste van wat mij betreft vooral de VS!! (vergeet
niet dat Osama bin Laden bij herhaling stelde dat Al Qaida niet
betrokken was bij deze aanslagen, terwijl terreurgroepen als Al Qaida
maar al te graag de verantwoording opeisen van geslaagde aanslagen,
zelfs als ze er niets mee te maken hebben….. Niet voor niets werd
Osama bin Laden onmiddellijk vermoord door speciale VS (terreur) commando’s toen men hem aantrof in Pakistan, het was uiteraard
niet de bedoeling dat bin Laden uit de school zou klappen tijdens een proces….

9/11
Was an Israeli Job
How
America was neoconned into World War IV

Technical
impossibilities

September
13, 2020 “
Information
Clearing House

–  Thanks to courageous investigators, many anomalies in the
official explanation of the events of 9/11 were posted on the
Internet in the following months, providing evidence that this was a
false flag operation, and that Osama bin Laden was innocent, as he
repeatedly declared in the Afghan and Pakistani press and on Al
Jazeera.[1] The proofs of this appalling fraud have been accumulating
ever since, and are now accessible to anyone willing to spend a few
hours of research on the Web. (Although, while preparing this
article, I noticed that Google is now making access to that research
more difficult than it was five years ago, artificially prioritizing
anti-conspiracy sites.)

For
example, members of Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
have demonstrated that it was
impossible for plane crashes and jet fuel fires to trigger the
collapse of the Twin Towers. Even Donald
Trump understood this
. In fact, speaking of “collapse” is
perhaps misleading: the towers literally exploded, pulverizing
concrete and projecting pieces of steel beams weighing several
hundred tons hundreds of meters laterally at high speeds. The
pyroclastic
dust
that immediately flooded through the streets, not unlike the
dust from a volcano, indicates a high temperature mixture of hot
gasses and relatively dense solid particles, an impossible phenomenon
in a simple collapse. It is also impossible that WTC7,
another skyscraper (47 stories), which had not been hit by a plane,
collapsed into its own footprint at near free-fall speed, unless by
“controlled demolition.”

Testimonies
of firefighters
recorded shortly after the events describe
sequences of explosions just before the “collapse”, well below
the plane impact. The presence of molten metal in the wreckage up to
three weeks after the attack is inexplicable except by the presence
of incompletely burned explosives. Firefighter Philip Ruvolo
testified before Étienne Sauret’s camera for his film
Collateral
Damages

(2011): “You’d get down below and you’d see molten steel—molten
steel running down the channelways, like you were in a foundry—like
lava.”

Aviation
professionals
have also reported impossibilities in the behavior
of the planes. The charted speeds of the two aircraft hitting the
Twin Towers, 443 mph and 542 mph, exclude these aircraft being Boeing
767s, because these speeds are virtually impossible near ground
level. In the unlikely event such speeds could be attained without
the aircraft falling apart, flying them accurately into the towers
was mission impossible, especially by the amateur pilots blamed for
the hijacking. Hosni
Mubarak, a former pilot, said he could never do it
. (He is not
the only head of state to have voiced his doubts: Chavez
and Ahmadinejad
are among them.) Recall that neither of the black boxes of the
jetliners was ever found, an incomprehensible situation.

And
of course, there are the obvious anomalies of Shanksville and
Pentagon crash sites: no plane or credible plane debris can be seen
on any of the numerous photos easily available.

Inside
Job or Mossad Job?

Among
the growing number of Americans who disbelieve the official version
of the 9/11 attacks, two basic theories are in competition: I called
them “inside job” and “Mossad job”. 

The first one is the
dominant thesis within the so-called 9/11 Truth movement, and blames
the American government, or a faction within the American Deep State.
The second one claims that the masterminds were members of a powerful
Israeli network deeply infiltrated in all spheres of power within the
US, including media, government, military and secret services.

This
“Mossad job” thesis has been gaining ground since Alan Sabrosky,
a professor at the U.S. Army War College and the U.S. Military
Academy, published in July 2012 an
article entitled “Demystifying 9/11: Israel and the Tactics of
Mistake”
, where he voiced his 

conviction that September 11th
was “a classic Mossad-orchestrated operation.”

We
can notice from the outset that incriminating Israelis or Arabs are
both “outside job” theories (in fact, they are mirror images of
each other, which is understandable in light of what Gilad Atzmon
explains about Jewish “projected guilt”).[2] Before even looking
at the evidence, “outside job” sounds more credible that “inside
job”. There is something monstrous in the idea that a government
can deceive and terrorize its own citizens by killing thousands of
them, just for starting a series of wars that are not even in the
nation’s interest. By comparison, a foreign power attacking the
U.S. under the false flag of a third power almost seems like fair
play. Indeed suspicion of Israel’s role should be natural to anyone
aware of the reputation of the Mossad as: “Wildcard. Ruthless and
cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a
Palestinian/Arab act,” in the words of a report of the U.S. Army
School for Advanced Military Studies quoted
by the
Washington
Times
,
September 10
th,
2001
— the day before the attacks.

This
is an important point, because it raises the question of how and why
the 9/11 Truth movement has been led to endorse massively the
outrageous “inside job” thesis without even considering the more
likely thesis of an attack by a foreign power acting under an Islamic
false flag—and what foreign power but Israel would do that?

Of
course, the two dissenting theses do not necessarily exclude each
other; at least, no one incriminating Israel denies that corrupted
elements from the American administration or deep state were
involved. The “passionate
attachment”
between Israel and the U.S. has been going on for
decades, and 9/11 is one of its monstruous offsprings.

I
can think of no better symbol of that reality than the marriage of
Ted and Barbara
Olson
. Ted Oslon, after having defended Bush in the disputed 2000
election, had been rewarded with the post of Solicitor General (he
also defended Dick Cheney when he refused to submit to Congress
Enron-related documents). Barbara was a famous CNN reporter, but
before that, she was born Barbara Kay Bracher of Jewish parents,
educated at Yeshiva University School of Law, and hired by the legal
firm WilmerHale, of which Jamie Gorelick, a future member of the 9/11
Commission, was also a member, and whose clients include powerful
Israeli firms like Amdocs, a digital communication company charged
with spying for
Israel in the United States
. On September 11, 2001, Barbara Olson
alledgedly was on flight AA77, from which she made two telephone
calls to her husband. Her calls were reported on CNN in the
afternoon, and contributed to crystallize some details of the
official story, such as the “box cutters” used as only weapons by
the hijackers. Repeatedly invited on television shows after 9/11, Ted
Olson frequently contradicted himself when questioned about the calls
from his wife. In a 2006 report, the FBI identified only one call
from Barbara Olson, and it was an unconnected call lasting 0 seconds.
Like all other reported phone calls from desperate passengers
(including the famous “Hi, Mom. This is Mark Bingham”), Barbara’s
call was simply impossible, because the technology required to make
high-altitude phone calls was not developed until 2004.[3]

9/11
was made possible by an alliance between secret worshippers of Israel
and corrupted American elements. The question is: who, of the two,
were the masterminds of this incredibly daring and complex operation,
and for what “higher purpose”?

Another
question is: why do those who keep repeating as a mantra “9/11
was an inside job”
ignore totally the compelling evidence
pointing to Israel? In other words, to what extent do they constitute
a “controlled opposition” intended to cover up for Israel? Asking
this type of question does not mean suspecting anyone who defends an
erroneous or incomplete theory of being a hypocrite. Most people
defending one theory or the other do so sincerely, based on the
information to which they have access. I have myself been a believer
in the official theory for 7 years, and in the “inside job”
theory for 2 years, before progressively moving on to the present
argument from 2010. On the other hand, we can assume that those who
lead the public into error on a long term are not just mistaken but
lying. In any case, it is legitimate to investigate the background of
opinion makers, and when they are caught lying or distorting the
truth, we can speculate on their motivation. I will come back to this
issue at the end of the article.

The
dancing Israelis

Researchers
who believe Israel orchestrated 9/11 cite the behavior of a group of
individuals who have come to be known as the “dancing Israelis”
since their arrest, though their aim was to pass as “dancing
Arabs.” Dressed in ostensibly “Middle Eastern” attire, they
were seen by various witnesses standing on the roof of a van parked
in Jersey City, cheering and taking photos of each other with the WTC
in the background, at the very moment the first plane hit the North
Tower. The suspects then moved their van to another parking spot in
Jersey City, where other witnesses saw them deliver the same
ostentatious celebrations.

One
anonymous call to the police in Jersey City, reported the same day by
NBC News, mentioned “a white van, 2 or 3 guys in there. They
look like Palestinians and going around a building. […] I see the
guy by Newark Airport mixing some junk and he has those sheikh
uniforms. […] He’s dressed like an Arab.” The police soon
issued the following BOLO alert (be-on-the-look-out) for a “Vehicle
possibly related to New York terrorist attack. White, 2000 Chevrolet
van with New Jersey registration with ‘Urban Moving Systems’ sign
on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of
first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center. Three individuals
with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent
explosion.”

By
chance, the van was intercepted around 4 pm, with five young men
inside: Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omer
Marmari. Before any question was asked, the driver, Sivan Kurzberg,
burst out: “We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems
are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem”.The Kurzberg
brothers were formally identified as Mossad agents. All five
officially worked for a moving company (a classic cover for
espionage) named Urban Moving Systems, whose owner, Dominik Otto
Suter, fled the country for Tel Aviv on September 14.[4]

This
event was first reported the day after the attacks by journalist
Paulo
Lima in the New Jersey newspaper
The
Bergen Record
,
based on “sources close to the investigation” who were convinced
of the suspects’ foreknowledge of the morning’s attacks: “It
looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at
Liberty State Park”.The 579-page FBI
report on the investigation
that followed (partially declassified
in 2005) reveals several important facts. First, once developed, the
photos taken by the suspects while watching the North Tower on fire
confirm their attitudes of celebration: “They smiled, they hugged
each other and they appeared to ‘high five’ one another”. To
explain their contentment, the suspects said they were simply happy
that, thanks to these terrorist attacks, “the United States will
take steps to stop terrorism in the world”. Yet at this point,
before the second tower was hit, most Americans believed the crash
was an accident. The five Israelis were found connected to another
company called Classic International Movers, which employed five
other Israelis arrested for their contacts with the nineteen presumed
suicide hijackers. In addition, one of the five suspects had called
“an individual in South America with authentic ties to Islamic
militants in the middle east”. Finally, the FBI report states that
the “The vehicle was also searched by a trained bomb-sniffing dog
which yielded a positive result for the presence of explosive
traces”.

After
all this incriminating evidence comes the most puzzling passage of
the report: its conclusion that “the FBI no longer has any
investigative interests in the detainees and they should proceed with
the appropriate immigration proceedings”. In fact, a letter
addressed to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, dated
September 25, 2001, proves that, less than two weeks after the
events, the FBI federal headquarter had already decided to close the
investigation, asking that “The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization
Service should proceed with the appropriate immigration proceedings”.
The five “dancing Israelis”, also known as “the high fivers”
,
were detained 71 days in a Brooklyn prison, where they first refused,
then failed, lie detector tests. Finally, they were quietly returned
to Israel under the minimal charge of “visa violation.” Three of
them were then invited on an Israeli TV talk show in November 2001,
where one of them ingenuously declared: “Our
purpose was simply to document the event.”

The
Israeli spy network

The
five “dancing Israelis,” the only suspects arrested on the very
day of the 9/11 attacks, were just the tip of an iceberg. In
September 2001, the federal police were busy dismantling the largest
Israeli spy network ever uncovered on American soil. In the summer
preceding the attack, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) compiled a
report which would be revealed to the public by the
Washington
Post
on
November 23
rd,
2001, followed by a Carl
Cameron’s four-part documentary broadcast on Fox News
from
December 11
th,
2001. On March 14
th,
2002, an article in French newspaper
Le
Monde

signed by Sylvain Cypel also referred to the report, shortly before
the French magazine
Intelligence
Online

made it fully
accessible on the Internet
.[5] It said that 140 Israeli spies,
aged between 20 and 30, had been arrested since March 2001, while 60
more were arrested after September 11. 

Generally posing as art
students, they visited at least “36 sensitive sites of the
Department of Defense.” “A majority of those questioned have
stated they served in military intelligence, electronic signal
intercept, or explosive ordnance units. Some have been linked to
high-ranking officials in the Israeli military. One was the son of a
two-star general, one served as the bodyguard to the head of the
Israeli Army, one served in a Patriot mission unit.” Another, Peer
Segalovitz, officer in the 605 Battalion of the Golan Heights,
“acknowledged he could blow up buildings, bridges, cars, and
anything else that he needed to.”[6]

Of
special interest is the mention that “the Hollywood, Florida, area
seems to be a central point for these individuals.”[7] More than 30
out of the 140 fake Israeli students identified before 9/11 lived in
that city of 140,000 inhabitants. And this city also happens to be
the place where fifteen of the nineteen alleged 9/11 Islamist
hijackers had regrouped (nine in Hollywood, six in the vicinity),
including four of the five supposed to have hijacked Flight AA11.
What was the relationship between the Israeli spies and the Islamist
terrorists? We were told by mainstream
news
that the former were monitoring the latter, but failed to
report suspicious activities of these terrorists to American
authorities. From such a presentation, Israel comes out clean, since
a spy agency cannot be blamed for not sharing information with the
country it is spying in. At worst, the Israeli Intelligence can be
accused of “letting it happen”—a guarantee of impunity. In
reality, the Israeli agents were certainly not just monitoring the
future “hijackers,” but financing and manipulating them, before
disposing of them. We know that Israeli Hanan Serfaty, who rented two
flats near Mohamed Atta, had handled at least $100,000 in three
months. And we also learned from the
New
York Times

on February 19, 2009
, that Ali al-Jarrah, cousin of the alleged
hijacker of Flight UA93 Ziad al-Jarrah, had spent twenty-five years
spying for the Mossad as an undercover agent infiltrating the
Palestinian resistance and Hezbollah.

Israeli
agents apparently appreciate operating under the cover of artists.
Shortly before September 11, a group of fourteen Jewish “artists”
under the name of Gelatin
installed themselves on the ninety-first floor of the north tower of
the World Trade Center. There, as a work of “street art,” they
removed a window and extended a wooden balcony. To understand what
role this piece of scaffolding may have played, it must be remembered
that the explosion supposedly resulting from the impact of the Boeing
AA11 on the North Tower took place between the ninety-second and the
ninety-eighth floors. With the only film of the impact on the North
Tower being that of the Naudet brothers, who are under suspicion for
numerous reasons, many researchers are convinced that no aircraft hit
this tower, and that the explosion simulating the impact was provoked
by pre-planted explosives inside the tower.

Floors
ninety-three to one hundred of the North Tower were occupied by Marsh
& McLennan, whose CEO was Jeffrey Greenberg, son of wealthy
Zionist (and financier of George W. Bush) Maurice Greenberg, who also
happens to be the owner of Kroll Inc., the firm in charge of security
for the entire World Trade Center complex on 9/11. The Greenbergs
were also the insurers of the Twin Towers and, on July 24, 2001, they
took the precaution of having the contract reinsured by competitors.
In November 2000, the board of directors of Marsh & McLennan was
joined by (Lewis) Paul Bremer, the chairman of the National
Commission on Terrorism, who, on September 11, 2001, two hours only
after the pulverization of the North Tower, would appear
on NBC to name bin Laden as prime suspect
, perfectly calm as 400
of his employees are missing (295 will finally be declared dead). “It
is the day that will change our lives,” he said. “It is the day
when the war that the terrorists declared on the US [. . .] has been
brought home to the US.” In 2003, Bremer would be appointed
administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq to level
the Iraqi state to the ground and oversee the theft of almost a
trillion dollars intended for its reconstruction.

The
super-sayanim

With
Goldberg and Bremer, we have reached the upper level of the
conspiracy, comprising a number of influential Jewish personalities,
working inside and outside the U.S. government — super-
sayanim,
so to speak. The most representative of those outside government is
Larry Silverstein, the real estate shark who, with his partner Frank
Lowy, leased the Twin Towers from New York City in the spring of
2001. The head of the New York Port Authority, who granted
Silverstein and Lowy the lease, was none other than Lewis Eisenberg,
another member of the United Jewish Appeal Federation and former
vice-president of AIPAC. It appeared that Silverstein had made a
disastrous deal, because the
Twin Towers had to be decontaminated for asbestos
. The
decontamination process had been indefinitely postponed since the
1980s because of its cost, estimated at nearly $1 billion in 1989. In
2001, the New York Port Authority had been all too happy to shift
responsibility to Silverstein.

Immediately
after acquiring the Twin Towers, Silverstein renegotiated the
insurance contracts to cover terrorist attacks, doubling the coverage
to $3.5 billion, and made sure he would retain the right to rebuild
after such an event. After the attacks, he took his insurers to court
in order to receive double compensation, claiming that the two planes
were two separate attacks. After a long legal battle, he
pocketed $4.5 billion
. Silverstein is a leading member of the
United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York,
the biggest fundraiser for Israel (after the US government, which
pays about $3 billion per year in aid to Israel). Silverstein also
maintained “close ties with Netanyahu,” according to
Haaretz
(November
21, 2001)
: “The two have been on friendly terms since
Netanyahu’s stint as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.
For years they kept in close touch. Every Sunday afternoon, New York
time, Netanyahu would call Silverstein.” Besides being a powerful
man, Larry is a lucky man: as
he explained in this interview
, every morning of the week, he had
breakfast at the
Windows
on the World

on top of the North Tower, but on September 11th, he had an
appointment with his dermatologist.

Accomplices
to the 9/11 false flag attack with strong Israeli connections should
also be tracked at the other end of the trajectory of the planes
reported to have crashed into the Twin Towers. Flights AA11 and UA175
took off from Logan Airport in Boston, which subcontracted their
security to International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS),
a firm based in Israel and headed by Menachem Atzmon
, a treasurer
of the Likud. So did Newark Airport where flight UA93 reportedly took
off before crashing in Shanksville.

A
serious investigation would follow many other trails, such as the
Odigo instant messages received by employees at the WTC two hours
before the plane crashes, as reported by
Haaretz
on
September 27
th,
2001. The first plane hit the WTC at the precise time announced,
“almost
to the minute,”
admitted Alex Diamandis, vice-president of
Odigo, headquartered in Israel. Also disturbing is the behavior of
the American branch of
Zim
Israel Navigational,

a maritime shipping giant 48% owned by the Jewish state (occasionally
used as a cover for the Israeli secret services), which moved its
offices from the WTC, along with its 200 employees, September 4
th,
2001, one week before the attacks —“like an act of God, we
moved”
,
said
the CEO Shaul Cohen-Mintz when interviewed
by
USA
Today
,
November 17
th,
2001
.

But
of course, none of these trails were ever pursued. That is because
the most powerful conspirators were at the highest level of the
Justice Department. Michael Chertoff was head of the Criminal
Division of the Department of Justice in 2001, and responsible, among
many other things, for securing the release of the Israeli agents
arrested before and after 9/11, including the “dancing Israelis.”
In 2003, this son of a rabbi and of a Mossad pioneer would be
appointed Secretary of Homeland Security, in charge of
counter-terrorism on the American soil, which allowed him to control
dissenting citizens and restrain access to the evidence under the
pretext of Sensitive Security Information.

Another
chief of the cover-up was Philip Zelikow, the executive director of
the 9/11 presidential Commission established in November 2002.
Zelikow is a self-styled specialist in the art of making “public
myths” by “‘searing’ or ‘molding’ events [that] take on
‘transcendent’ importance and, therefore, retain their power even
as the experiencing generation passes from the scene” (Wikipedia).
In December 1998, he co-signed an article for
Foreign
Affairs

entitled “Catastrophic Terrorism,”
in which he speculated on
what would have happened if the 1993 WTC bombing (already attributed
to bin Laden) had been done with a nuclear bomb: “An act of
catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of
people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of
thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America’s
history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented for
peacetime and undermine Americans’ fundamental sense of security
within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic
bomb test, or perhaps even worse. … Like Pearl Harbor, the
event would divide our past and future into a before and after. The
United States might respond with draconian measures scaling back
civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention
of suspects and use of deadly force.” This is the man who
controlled the governmental investigation on the 9/11 terror attacks.
Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, who nominally led the commission,
revealed in their book
Without
Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission
(2006),
that the commission “was set up to fail” from the beginning.
Zelikow, they claim, had already written a synopsis and a conclusion
for the final report before the first meeting. He controlled all the
working groups, prevented them from communicating with each other,
and gave them as sole mission to prove the official story; Team 1A,
for example, was tasked to “tell the story of Al-Qaeda’s most
successful operation—the 9/11 attacks.”

A
tight control of mainstream media is perhaps the most delicate aspect
of the whole operation. I will not delve into that aspect, for we all
know what to expect from the MSM. For a groundbreaking argument on
the extent to which 9/11 was psy-op orchestrated by MSM, I recommend
Ace
Baker’s 2012 documentary
9/11
The Great American Psy-Opera
,
chapters
6, 7 and 8.

Machiavellian
meta-Zionists

If
we move up to the very highest level of the conspiracy, we find
ourselves in Tel Aviv. The preparation for 9/11 coincided with the
coming to power of Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996, followed by Ehud Barak
in July 1999, and Ariel Sharon in March 2001, who brought back
Netanyahu as minister of Foreign Affairs in 2002 (with Netanyahu
again becoming prime minister in 2009). It must be noted that both
Netanyahu and Ehud Barak were temporarily out of the Israeli
government in September 2001, just like Ben-Gurion at the time of
Kennedy’s assassination (read
my article on JFK
). A few months before 9/11, Barak, a former
head of Israeli military intelligence, was “recruited” as a
consultant to a Mossad front company, SCP Partner, specializing in
security and located less than seven miles from Urban Moving
Systems.[8] One hour after the explosion of the North Tower, Barak
was on BBC World
to point the finger at bin Laden (the first to
do so), and concluded: “It’s a time to launch an operational,
complete war against terror.”

As
for Netanyahu, we are not surprised to hear him boast, on CNN
in 2006
, of having predicted in 1995 that, “if the West doesn’t
wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next thing you
will see is militant Islam bringing down the World Trade Center.”
Netanyahu is exemplary of the ever closer “special relationship”
between the US and Israel, which started with Truman and blossomed
under Johnson. Netanyahu had lived, studied, and worked in the United
States from 1960 to 1978, between his 11
th
and his 27
th
year—except during his military service—and again after the age
of 33, when he was appointed deputy ambassador to Washington and then
permanent delegate to the United Nations. Netanyahu appeared
regularly on CNN in the early 1990s, contributing to the
transformation of the world’s leading news channel into a major
Zionist propaganda tool. His political destiny was largely planned
and shaped in the United States, under the supervision of those we
now call neoconservatives, and the only thing that distinguishes him
from them is that, for public relations reasons, he does not possess
American nationality.

What’s
a neocon?” once asked Bush 43 to his father Bush 41, after more
than three years in the White House. “Do you want names, or a
description?” answered 41. “Description.” 

“Well,” said 41,
“I’ll give it to you in one word: Israel.”[9] That anecdote,
quoted by Andrew Cockburn, sums it up. The neoconservative movement
was born in the editorial office of the monthly magazine
Commentary,
which had replaced the
Contemporary
Jewish Record

in 1945 as the press organ of the American Jewish Committee. “If
there is an intellectual movement in America to whose invention Jews
can lay sole claim, neoconservatism is it,” wrote Gal
Beckerman in the
Jewish
Daily Forward
,
January
6, 2006. “It is a fact that as a political philosophy,
neoconservatism was born among the children of Jewish immigrants and
is now largely the intellectual domain of those immigrants’
grandchildren.”

The
founding fathers of neoconservatism (Norman Podhoretz, Irving
Kristol, Donald Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, Adam Shulsky) were
self-proclaimed disciples of Leo Strauss, a German Jewish immigrant
teaching at the University of Chicago. Strauss can be characterized
as a meta-Zionist in the sense that, while an ardent supporter of the
State of Israel, he rejected the idea that Israel as a nation should
be contained within borders; Israel must retain her specificity,
which is to be everywhere, he said in essence in his 1962 lecture
“Why
We Remain Jews.”
Strauss would also approve of being called a
Machiavellian, for in his
Thoughts
on Machiavelli
,
he
praised the “the intrepidity of his thought, the grandeur of his
vision, and the graceful subtlety of his speech” (p. 13).
Machiavelli’s model of a prince was Cesar Borgia, the tyrant who
after having appointed the cruel Ramiro d’Orco to subdue the
province of Romania, had him executed with utter cruelty, thus
reaping the people’s gratitude after having diverted their hatred
onto another. Machiavelli, writes Strauss, “is a patriot of a
particular kind: He is more concerned with the salvation of his
fatherland than with the salvation of his soul” (p. 10). And that
happens to be exactly what Jewishness is all about, according to
Jewish thinkers such as Harry Waton: “The Jews that have a deeper
understanding of Judaism know that the only immortality there is for
the Jew is the immortality in the Jewish people” (read
more here
). As a matter of fact, in the
Jewish
World Review

of June 7, 1999
, Michael Ledeen, a neocon and founding member of
the
Jewish
Institute for National Security Affairs

(JINSA), assumed that Machiavelli must have been a “secret Jew,”
since “if you listen to his political philosophy you will hear
Jewish music.”

The
neoconservatives of the first generation originally positioned
themselves on the far left. Irving Kristol, one of the main editors
of Commentary, had long claimed to be a Trotskyist. It was
soon after the 1967 successful annexation of Arab territories by
Israel that the Straussians experienced their conversion to
right-wing militarism, to which they owe their new name. Norman
Podhoretz, editor-in-chief from 1960 to 1995, turned from anti-war
activist to defense budget booster in the early 70s. He gave the
following explanation in 1979: “American support for Israel
depended upon continued American involvement in international
affairs—from which it followed that an American withdrawal into the
kind of isolationist mood [. . .] that now looked as though it might
soon prevail again, represented a direct threat to the security of
Israel.” (Breaking Ranks, p. 336). Leading the U.S. into war
for the benefit of Israel is the essence of the Machiavellian
crypto-Zionists known deceptively as neoconservatives.

The
Project for a new (((American))) Century

The
story of how the neoconservatives reached the position of influence
they held under George W. Bush is a complicated one, which I can only
outline. They entered the state apparatus for the first time in the
baggage of Rumsfeld and Cheney, during president Ford’s cabinet
reshuffle known as the “Halloween Massacre,” following Nixon’s
resignation. When the Cold War calmed down after America evacuated
its troops from Vietnam in 1973, and the CIA produced reassuring
analyses of the USSR’s military capabilities and ambitions,
Rumsfeld (as Secretary of Defense) and Cheney (as Chief of Staff)
persuaded Ford to appoint an independent committee, known as Team B,
to revise upward the CIA estimates of the Soviet threat, and
reactivate a war attitude in public opinion, Congress, and
Administration. Team B was chaired by Richard Pipes and co-chaired by
Paul Wolfowitz, both introduced by Richard Perle.

During
the Democratic parenthesis of the Carter presidency (1976–80), the
neoconservatives worked at unifying the largest number of Jews around
their policies, by founding the Jewish Institute for National
Security Affairs (JINSA), which became the second-most powerful
pro-Israel lobby after AIPAC. According to its “mission
statement”
, it is “dedicated to educating Congressional,
military and civilian national security decision-makers on American
defense and strategic interests, primarily in the Middle East, the
cornerstone of which is a robust U.S.-Israeli security cooperation.”
In 1980, the neocons were rewarded by Ronald Reagan for their support
by a dozen posts in national security and foreign policy: Richard
Perle and Douglas Feith to the Department of Defense; Richard Pipes
at the National Security Council; Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis “Scooter”
Libby, and Michael Ledeen in the State Department. They helped Reagan
escalate the Cold War, showering billions of dollars on the
military-industrial complex.

The
long term planning of 9/11 probably started then. Isser Harel,
founder of Israeli secret services (Shai in 1944, Shin Bet
in 1948, Mossad until 1963) is reported as prophesizing in 1980, in
an interview with Christian Zionist Michael Evans, that Islamic
terrorism would end up hitting America in their “phallic symbol”:
“Your biggest phallic symbol is New York City and your tallest
building will be the phallic symbol they will hit”.[10]  (A
whole article would be needed to document and explain the revival of
the Jewish gift of apocalyptic prophecy in recent decades.)

In
1996, during the Clinton years, the neoconservatives threw all their
weight into their ultimate think tank, the Project for the New
American Century (PNAC), directed by William Kristol and Robert
Kagan. PNAC recommended taking advantage of the defeat of communism
to reinforce American hegemony by preventing the emergence of any
rival. Their
Statement
of Principles
vowed
to extend the current
Pax
Americana
,
which entailed “a military that is strong and ready to meet both
present and future challenges.” In its September 2000 report
entitled
Rebuilding
America’s Defenses
,
PNAC anticipated that US forces must become “able to rapidly deploy
and win multiple simultaneous large-scale wars.” This required a
profound transformation, including the development of “a new family
of nuclear weapons designed to address new sets of military
requirements.” Unfortunately, according to the authors of the
report, “the process of transformation […] is likely to be a long
one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl
Harbor.” It is certainly no coincidence that the three-hour-long
blockbuster
Pearl
Harbor
was
released in the summer 2001, conveniently entrenching the “New
Pearl Harbor” meme into the minds of millions.

PNAC’s
architects played the American hegemony card by draping themselves in
the super-patriotic discourse of America’s civilizing mission. But
their duplicity is exposed in a document brought to public knowledge
in 2008: a report published in 1996 by the Israeli think tank
Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS),
entitled
A
Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm
,
written
specifically for the new Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The team responsible for the report was led by Richard Perle, and
included Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, who figured the same year
among the signatories of PNAC. As its title suggests, the
Clean
Break

report invited Netanyahu to break with the Oslo Accords of 1993,
which officially committed Israel to the return of the territories it
occupied illegally since 1967. The new prime minister should instead
“engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism” and reaffirm
Israel’s right to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

In
November 2000, Bush Jr. was elected under conditions that raised
protests of electoral fraud. Dick Cheney, who had directed his
campaign, named himself vice-president and introduced two dozens
neoconservatives in foreign policy key positions. The State
Department was entrusted to Colin Powell, but he was surrounded with
neocon aides such as David Wurmser. As National Security Adviser,
Condoleezza Rice, a specialist of Russia with no expertise in the
Middle East, was entirely dependent on her neocon adviser Philip
Zelikow. William Luti and Elliott Abrams, and later Eliot Cohen, were
also tasked with steering Rice. But it was mainly from within the
Defense Department under Donald Rumsfeld that the most influential
neocons were able to fashion US foreign and military policy. Richard
Perle occupied the crucial position of director of the Defense Policy
Board, responsible for defining military strategy, while Paul
Wolfowitz became the “soul of the Pentagon” as deputy secretary
with Douglas Feith as under secretary.

The
Hanukkah miracle to start WWIV

After
eight months in the presidency, Bush was confronted with the
“catastrophic event,” the “new Pearl Harbor” that PNAC had
wished for a year earlier. 9/11 was a real “Hanukkah
miracle”
for Israel, commented Mossad chief Ephraim Halevy and
Israeli National Security Council chairman Uzi Dayan. Netanyahu
rejoiced: “It’s very good
[…] it will generate immediate
sympathy […], strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because
we’ve experienced terror over so many decades, but the United
States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.” On
September 21, he published an op-ed in the
New
York Post

entitled “Today, We Are All Americans,” in which he delivered his
favorite propaganda line: “For the bin Ladens of the world, Israel
is merely a sideshow. America is the target.” 

Three days later the
New
Republic

responded with a headline on behalf of the Americans: “We are all
Israelis now.” Americans experienced 9/11 as an act of hatred from
the Arab world, and they felt an immediate sympathy for Israel, which
the neoconservatives relentlessly exploited. One of the aims was to
encourage Americans to view Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians
as part of the global fight against Islamic terrorism.

It
was a great success. In the years preceding September 11, Israel’s
reputation had bottomed out; condemnations had been raining from
around the world for its policy of apartheid and colonization, and
its systematic war against Palestinian command structures. Increasing
numbers of American voices questioned the merits of the special
relationship between the United States and Israel. From the day of
the attacks, it was all over. As Americans now intended to fight Arab
terrorists to the death, they would stop demanding from Israel more
reasonable, proportionate retaliation against Palestinian suicide
bombers and rockets.

Instead,
the president’s speeches (written by neocon David Frum)
characterized the 9/11 attacks as the trigger for a world war of a
new type, one fought against an invisible enemy scattered throughout
the Middle East. First, vengeance must come not only against bin
Laden, but also against the state harboring him: “We will make no
distinction between those who committed these acts and those who
harbor them” (Sept. 11). Second, the war extends to the world: “Our
war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It
will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been
found, stopped and defeated” (Sept. 20). Third, any country that
does not support Washington will be treated as an enemy: “Either
you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” (Sept. 20).

In
an article in the Wall Street Journal dated November 20, 2001,
the neoconservative Eliot Cohen dubbed the war against terrorism as
“World War IV,” a framing soon echoed by other American Zionists
(the odd choice of the name WWIV rather than WWIII comes, I suspect,
from the neocons’ ethnocentric worldview, in which every world war
is a step toward Greater Israel; since one major step was
accomplished in 1967, the Cold War counts as WW3). In September 2004,
at a conference in Washington entitled “World War IV: Why We Fight,
Whom We Fight, How We Fight,” Cohen said: “The enemy in this war
is not ‘terrorism’ […] but militant Islam.” Like the Cold
War, the imminent world war, according to Cohen’s vision, has
ideological roots, will have global implications, and will last a
long time, involving a whole range of conflicts. The self-fulfilling
prophecy of a new World War centered in the Middle East has also been
popularized by Norman Podhoretz, in “How to Win World War IV”
(Commentary, February 2002), followed by a second article in,
“World War IV: How It Started, What It Means, and Why We Have to
Win,” (September 2004), and finally a book titled World War IV:
The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism
(2007).[11]

The
hijacked conspiracy and the controlled opposition

In
the case of 9/11 as in the case of Kennedy, controlled opposition
operates on many levels, and many honest scholars now realize that
the 9/11 Truth movement itself is partly channeled by individuals and
groups secretly aiming at drawing suspicions away from Israel. Such
is certainly the case of the three young Jews (Avery, Rowe, and
Bermas) who directed the film
Loose
Change

(2005), the most widely watched 9/11 conspiracy film since its first
version in 2005. They hitched their whole thesis on a comparison with
the never carried-out false flag project Operation Northwoods (timely
revealed to the public in May 2001 in James
Bamford
’s book
Body
of Secrets
,
written with the support of former NSA director Michael Hayden, now
working for Michael Chertoff), but they failed to mention the attack
on the USS Liberty, a well-documented false flag attack by Israel on
its U.S. ally. 

They did not breathe a word about the
neoconservatives’ loyalty to Israel, and treat anyone who cited the
Israeli role in 9/11 as anti-Semitic. The same can be said of
Bermas’s more recent film
Invisible
Empire
(2010),
also produced by Alex Jones: a compilation of anti-imperialist
clichés focusing on the Bushs and the Rockefellers, without a single
hint of the (((Others))).

It
is interesting to note that the 9/11 scenario put forward by
Loose
Change

had actually been prewritten by Hollywood: on the 4
th
of March, 2001, Fox
TV broadcast the first episode of the series
The
Lone Gunmen
,
watched
by 13 million Americans. The plot is about computer hackers working
for a secret cabal within the U.S. government, who hijack a jet by
remote control with the intent to crash it into one of the Twin
Towers, while making it appear to have been hijacked by Islamic
terrorists. At the last seconds, the pilots manage to regain control
of the plane. The purpose of the failed operation was to trigger a
world war under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Truthers of the
“inside job” school fancy that this episode must have been
written by some whistleblower inside Fox. Unlikely!

There
is, of course, some truth in the “inside job” theory, as I said
at the beginning. Israel (in the wider sense) would not be able to
pull such an operation and get away with it, without complicity at
the highest level of U.S. government. How does that work? Pretty much
like for the Kennedy
assassination
, if you consider that the country was then ruled by
its vice-president Dick Cheney, the president being a mere dummy (see
Lou Dubose and Jake Bernstein,
Vice:
Dick Cheney and the Hijacking of the American Presidency,
Random
House, 2006). In my book
JFK-9/11,
I have proposed a plausible scenario of how Israel had in fact
hijacked a smaller false flag attack on the Pentagon fabricated by
the American Deep State, for the limited purpose of justifying the
overthrow of the Talibans in Afghanistan, a goal fully supported by
such “Great Gamers” as Zbigniew Brzezinski, but which didn’t in
itself interest the neocons.

What
the neocons wanted was a new war against Iraq and then a general
conflagration in the Middle East leading to the crumbling of all the
enemies of Israel, with Syria and Iran high on the list. So they
outbid everyone and gave the operation the scale they wanted with the
help of their New York super-sayan Silvertein. George W. Bush,
Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and other goyim who had been kept out
of the loop, finding themselves embroiled in geopolitical
machinations of global scope, could merely try to save face. On
September 19 and 20, Richard Perle’s Defense Policy Board met in
the company of Paul Wolfowitz and Bernard Lewis (inventor of the
self-fulfilling prophecy of the “clash of civilizations”) but in
the absence of Powell and Rice. They prepared a letter to Bush,
written on PNAC letterhead, to remind him of his historic mission:
“Even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any
strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must
include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in
Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early
and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international
terrorism.” [12] This was an ultimatum. Bush was certainly aware of
the leverage that the neocons had acquired over the major print and
television media. He was obliged, under penalty of ending in the
proverbial trash bin of history, to endorse the invasion of Iraq that
his father had refused the Zionists ten years earlier.

As
for Brzezinski and other genuine U.S. imperialists, their support for
the invasion of Afghanistan made their timid protests against the
Iraq war ineffective. It was a little late in February 2007 when
Brzezinski denounced before the Senate “a historical, strategic and
moral calamity […] driven by Manichaean impulses and imperial
hubris.” In 2012 he declared, regarding the risk of conflagration
with Iran, that Obama should stop
following Israel like a “stupid mule.”
He soon disappeared
from the MSM, as a useful idiot no longer useful.

The
“half truth” of the exclusively “inside job” theory, which
denounces 9/11 as a false flag operation perpetrated by the American
state on its own citizens, functions like a secondary false flag
hiding the real masters of the operation, who are in fact agents in
the service of a foreign nation. One of the aims of this
inside-jobish controlled opposition is to force American officials to
maintain the “bin Laden did it” masquerade, knowing that tearing
apart the fake Islamic flag would only reveal the U.S. flag, not the
Israeli flag. No longer controlling the media, they would not have
the means to raise this second veil to expose Israel. Any effort to
get at the truth would be political suicide. Everyone understands
what is at stake: if one day, under mounting pressure from public
opinion or for some other strategic reason, the mainstream media
abandons the official bin Laden story, the well-rehearsed slogan
“9/11 was an inside job” will have prepared Americans to turn
against their own government, while the neocon Zionists will remain
untouchable (Machiavelli’s method: make another accomplish your
dirty ends, then turn popular vengeance against him). And God knows
what will happen, if the government has not by then succeeded in
disarming its citizens through Sandy Hook-type psy-ops. Government
officials have little choice but to stick to the Al-Qaeda story, at
least for the next fifty years.

After
reaching this conclusion in
JFK-9/11,
I had the satisfaction of finding that Victor Thorn, in a book that
had eluded me (
Made
in Israel: 9-11 and the Jewish Plot Against America,
Sisyphus
Press, 2011
), had already expressed it in harsher terms: “In
essence, the ‘9-11 truth movement’ was created
prior
to
Sept. 11, 2001 as a means of suppressing news relating to Israeli
complicity. By 2002–2003, ‘truthers’ began appearing at rallies
holding placards that read ‘9-11 was an inside job.’ Initially,
these signs provided hope for those who didn’t believe the
government and mainstream media’s absurd cover stories. But then an
awful realization emerged: The slogan ‘9-11 was an inside job’
was quite possibly the greatest example of Israeli propaganda ever
devised. […] The mantra, ‘9-11 was an inside job’ is only
partially true and is inherently damaging to the ‘truth movement’
because it shifts all attention away from Israel’s traitorous
assault against America. […] Leaders of these fake 9-11 groups know
the truth about Israel’s 9-11 barbarity. Their willingness to
perpetuate or cover it up ultimately makes them as guilty and vile as
those who launched the attacks. 

There are no degrees of separation in
this matter. It’s a black-and-white issue. Tell the entire truth
about Israel’s Murder, Inc. cabal, or sleep in the same infected
bed as these murdering dogs lie in. […] Faux conspiratologists
complain about the government and news sources not telling the truth,
yet they’ve erected an utter blackout on data regarding Israel and
9-11.”

The
missing .3 trillion

Some
readers will complain that I am making a very complex operation
appear too simple. I plead guilty: I have merely tried here to
outline the case against Israel in the short scope of an article. But
I am fully aware that creating Greater Israel through a world war
fought by the U.S. might not have been the only consideration in the
preparation of 9/11. Many private interests had to be involved. Yet I
believe none of them interfered with Israel’s plan, and most of
them supported it.

There
is, for example, the missing
gold in the WTC basement
: $200 million were recovered from the
estimated $1 billion stored: who took the rest? But that is nothing
compared to the $2.3 trillion that were missing from the accounts of
the Department of Defense for the year 2000, in addition to $1.1
trillion missing for 1999, according to a televised declaration made
on September 10
th,
2001, the day before the attacks, by Donald Rumsfeld. Just for
comparison, this is more than one thousand times the colossal losses
of Enron, which triggered a chain of bankruptcies that same year. All
this money evaporated into thin air under the watch of William Cohen,
Defense Secretary during Bill Clinton’s second term. In 2001, the
man who was tasked to help track down the missing trillions was Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) Dov Zakheim, a member of PNAC and
an ordained rabbi. 

Practically, the mystery had to be resolved by
financial analysts at Resource Services Washington (RSW).
Unfortunately, their offices were destroyed by “al-Qaeda” the
following morning. The “hijackers” or Flight AA77, rather than
hitting the command center on the eastern side of the Pentagon, chose
to attempt a theoretically impossible downward spiral at 180 degrees
in order to hit the west side of the building precisely at the
location of the accounting offices. The 34 experts at RSW perished in
their offices, together with 12 other financial analysts, as is noted
in the biography of the team leader Robert Russell for the National
9/11 Pentagon Memorial
: “The weekend before his death, his
entire office attended a crab feast at the Russell home. They were
celebrating the end of the fiscal-year budget completion. Tragically,
every person that attended that party was involved in the Pentagon
explosion, and are currently missing”.

By
an incredible coincidence, one of the financial experts trying to
make sense of the Pentagon financial loss, Bryan Jack, was reported
to have died at the precise location of his office, not because he
was working there that day, but because he was on a business trip on
Flight AA77. In the words of the
Washington
Post

database
: “Bryan C. Jack was responsible for crunching
America’s defense budget. He was a passenger on American Airlines
Flight 77, bound for official business in California when his plane
struck the Pentagon, where, on any other day, Jack would have been at
work at his computer”. Yahweh must have a sense of chutzpah!

*  Zie: ‘Tell Congress: Stop the Patriot Act!‘ >>de volgende tekst is een deel van het schrijven bij deze petitie: A federal judge ruled that
all the government spying that Edward Snowden revealed back in 2013
was illegal.1

But that doesn’t mean the NSA,
FBI, and other Trump-controlled intelligence agencies will suddenly
stop spying on Americans’ phone records, internet searches, and web
browser history. Far from it.

Congress could still
legalize spying on US citizens without a warrant.

They could do it anytime between now and the end of the year, unless
you speak up and stop them.

Sign
the petition: Stop the Patriot Act! Don’t reauthorize spying on
Americans without a warrant!
