The bottom line answer is that the “war on terror”
is about creating real terrorists. The US government desperately needs real terrorists in order to justify its
expansion of its wars against Muslim countries and to keep the American people sufficiently fearful that they
continue to accept thepolice
state that provides “security from terrorists,” but not from the government that
hasdiscarded civil liberties.

From day one, they’ve attacked your liberty in big ways - and

“Two days ago, President
Trump and Vice President Pence delivered solemn speeches about the attacks on 9/11, talking about
how much they care about the victims of al-Qaeda’s attack on our country. But, they are now
standing up to protect the 20,000 to 40,000 al-Qaeda and other jihadist forces in Syria, and
threatening Russia, Syria, and Iran, with military force if they dare attack these
terrorists.
“This is a betrayal of the American people,
especially the victims of al-Qaeda’s attack on 9/11 and their families, first responders, and my
brothers and sisters in uniform who have been killed or wounded in action and their families. For
the President, who is Commander in Chief, to act as the protective big brother of al-Qaeda and
other jihadists must be condemned by every Member of Congress.”

17 Years After 9/11, US Counts Al
Qaeda Among Allies in Syria, Yemen
September 11th, 2018 By Whitney Webb
WASHINGTON –Less than two decades
after the attacks of September 11, the U.S. government has now effectively allied with the Al Qaeda terrorist group
it has long blamed for planning and executing those attacks, which still remain the worst terror attacks to have
ever taken place on U.S. soil.
Despite the U.S. having launched the war in Afghanistan, the invasion and
occupation of Iraq, and the years-long “War on Terror” as a means of allegedly countering Al Qaeda and its
affiliates, the past year has revealed several instances in which Washington has beenmaking “deals”with,protecting, and even (indirectly but
knowingly)armingAl Qaeda operatives in
countries like Yemen and Syria. The about-face has come as the U.S.’ interest in “counter-terrorism” throughout the
Middle East has been superseded by regime-change policies targeting countries like Yemen, Syria and
Iran.

Introduction
The following document pertaining to the formation of “Greater Israel” constitutes the cornerstone
of powerful Zionist factions within the current Netanyahu government, the Likud party, as well as within the
Israeli military and intelligence establishment. (article first published by Global Research on April 29,
2013).
Greater Israel
WARNING: BRIEF STRONG
LANGUAGE
President Donald Trump has confirmed in no uncertain terms, his support of Israel’s illegal
settlements (including his opposition to UN Security Council Resolution 2334, pertaining to the illegality of the
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank). In recent developments, the Trump administration has expressed its
recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Trump’s “Deal of the Century” is supportive of the “Greater Israel” project. It consists in the derogation of
Palestinian’s “the right of return” by “naturalizing them as citizens of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and
elsewhere regionally where they reside”.
Bear in mind: The Greater Israel design is not strictly a Zionist Project for the Middle East, it
is an integral part of US foreign policy, its strategic objective is extend US hegemony as well as fracture and
balkanize the Middle East.
Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is intended to trigger political
instability throughout the region.
According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the
Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.” According to Rabbi Fischmann, “The Promised
Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.”
While people on both sides of the phoney left/right divide squabble over terrorist boogeymen and
Trump's CIA chief gives Saudi Arabia an award for "counter"terrorism, everyone has lost sight of the bigger
picture: The blithering morons who are the face of international terror are aided, funded, controlled and handled
by the intelligence agencies. It is all part of the con to get you scared of your own shadow so the
terror-industrial complex can laugh all the way to the bank. Today James breaks down the latest chapter in this
never-ending psy-op saga.
"This is the same Donald Trump who on the campaign trail told Fox & Friends, 'Who blew up the
World Trade Center? It wasn't the Iraqis, it was Saudi--take a look at Saudi Arabia, open the
documents.' Now, instead of opening the documents ON Saudi Arabia, Trump is opening the purse FOR

Dilyana Gaytandzhieva: ISIS Arms Whistleblower Arrested in

This past week, an employee of a Serbian arms manufacturer was arrested and thrown in jail after blowing the

(21WIRE) breakdown the story which is still developing.
The Dissembler-in-Chief took to Twitter this past weekend to let the world know that "Something
very big has just happened!" We now know that that something was a daring special forces raid that ended in the
death of Osama bin Laden! . . . Or is that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? Or maybe Abu Omar al-Baghdadi? No, no, it was Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi! Honest! We took DNA evidence before we threw him in the sea! Find out about the unlikely story of
Baghdadi's umpteenth death in this timely edition of
The Corbett Report podcast.
ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi Reported Dead — for at Least the 7th Time in 12
Years Oddly, this is not the first instance in which
al-Baghdadi was reportedly killed over the years.
(TMU) — President Donald Trump has formally
announced that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, self-proclaimed leader of ISIS, is dead from suicide. The infamous
terrorist reportedly detonated an explosive vest on Saturday night as U.S. Special Forces raided a compound in the
Syrian Province of Idlib.
Along with obliterating the ISIS figurehead, the blast also killed three children, according to the U.S.
government.
“Baghdadi was vicious and violent, and he died in a vicious and violent way, as a coward, running and
crying,” Trump
said. “He died like a dog, he died like a coward.”
Oddly, this is
not the first instance in which al-Baghdadi was reportedly killed or severely wounded over the years—and
it may not be the last.
Iraqi officials first reported
his death in May 2007. According to a CNN report, Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said it was
not known who Baghdadi was or if he even existed, and the Islamic State denied al-Baghdadi had been
killed.
Two months later, military spokesperson Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner told a news conference that al-Baghdadi
did not exist at all, Reutersreported.
According to Bergner’s sources, the leader of ISIS was given an Iraqi name (Baghdadi, meaning “from Baghdad”) so
the group’s foreign influence and leadership could be masked from its followers.
Reuters reported in
2009 that Iraqi forces had captured al-Baghdadi, something ISIS denied. He was then reported
dead by then-Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in April 2010, following an airstrike U.S.
Vice-President Joe Biden referred to as a “potentially devastating blow.”
Baghdadi was once again reported at large in Iraq until Iraqi officials
toldAl-Jazeera they had again arrested Baghdadi in December 2012.
Casting further doubt on al-Baghdadi’s existence, the ISIS leader rarely showed his face on camera and in 2014,
he made his one known public appearance,
according to the Independent.
Then in November 2014, somehow managing to evade his arrest, al-Baghdadi was
reported“critically wounded” in an airstrike. Just five months later, he was “seriously
wounded” in
another air strike in April 2015. There are
further reports that Baghdadi was killed in 2016, as well.
In May of 2017, the ISIS leader was also reportedly killed in Syria by Russian airstrikes, according to
the Russian Defense Ministry and Syrian state television.
Less than a year later, a senior Iraqi official
stated that al-Baghdadi was severely wounded in an air raid in Northwestern Syria in February 2018. The
Iraqi official added that the ISIS leader suffers from “injuries, diabetes and fractures to the body and legs
that prevent him from walking without assistance.”
More recently, al-Baghdadi was
allegedly shown in an 18-minute long video released by an Islamic State media group in April of 2019.
Various audio messages that were reportedly from al-Baghdadi have been released through the years, with the last
being in 2019. However, the authenticity of those messages were not all verified, according the
the BBC.
The United States also reportedly had him in their custody as
far back as 2004.
According to the Intercept:
“Days later, the Pentagon confirmed that Baghdadi was only in U.S. custody for 10 months,
from February to December 2004. The Department of Defense told the fact-checking website PunditFact in a
statement that Baghdadi was held at Camp Bucca. ‘A Combined Review and Release Board recommended ‘unconditional
release’ of this detainee and he was released from U.S. custody shortly thereafter. We have no record of him
being held at any other time.’”
Some have even reported that al-Baghdadi was in U.S. custody in 2009, though Politifact
cast doubt on this particular claim after the Defense Department was asked to confirm the story and
clarified that he was released in 2004, not 2009.
The media and government has obviously created a cycle of kill-capture-injure of a single person all while the
general public has never seen more than brief snippets of the apparently immortal boogeyman.
The al-Baghdadi narrative makes Orwell’s 1984 look tame in comparison and, if history is any
indicator, this is not the last time we’ve heard from al-Baghdadi.
The Russian military has dismissed Trump’s
al-Baghdadi speech as propaganda, while Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology,
Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi, declared that
the U.S. had simply destroyed its “own creature.”

Does anyone remember the “cakewalk war” that would last
six weeks, cost $50-$60 billion, and be paid for out of Iraqi oil revenues?
Wikileaks is now akin to a terrorist organization. The American government’s practice
of silencing critics will spread across the Internet. Illustration: Raymndo Salvatore Harmon.
Does anyone remember that White House economist Lawrence Lindsey was fired by Dubya because Lindsey estimated
that the Iraq war could cost as much as $200 billion?
Lindsey was fired for over -estimating the cost of a war that, according to Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes,
has cost 15 times more than Lindsey estimated. And the US still has 50,000 troops in Iraq.
Does anyone remember that just prior to the US invasion of Iraq, the US government declared victory over the
Taliban in Afghanistan?
Does anyone remember that the reason Dubya gave for invading Iraq was Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass
destruction, weapons that the US government knew did not exist?
Are Americans aware that the same neoconservarives who made these fantastic mistakes, or told these fabulous
lies, are still in control of the government in Washington?
The “war on terror” is now in its tenth year. What is it really all about?
The bottom line answer is that the “war on terror” is about creating real terrorists. The US government
desperately needs real terrorists in order to justify its expansion of its wars against Muslim countries and to
keep the American people sufficiently fearful that they continue to accept thepolice state that provides “security from terrorists,”
but not from the government that hasdiscarded civil
liberties.
The US government creates terrorists by invading Muslim countries, wrecking infrastructure and killing
vast numbers of civilians. The US also creates terrorists by installing puppet governments to rule over Muslims and
by using the puppet governments to murder and persecute citizens as is occurring on a vast scale in Pakistan
today.
Neoconservatives used 9/11 to launch their plan for US world hegemony. Their plan fit with the interests of
America’s ruling oligarchies. Wars are good for the profits of the military/security complex, about which President
Eisenhower warned us in vain a half century ago. American hegemony is good for the oil industry’s control over
resources and resource flows. The transformation of the Middle East into a vast American puppet state serves well
the Israel Lobby’s Zionist aspirations for Israeli territorial expansion.
Most Americans cannot see what is happening because of their conditioning. Most Americans believe that their government is the best
on earth, that it is morally motivated to help others and to do good, that it rushes aid to countries where there
is famine and natural catastrophes. Most believe that their presidents tell the truth, except about their sexual
affairs.
The persistence of these delusions is extraordinary in the face of daily headlines that report US government
bullying of, and interference with, virtually every country on earth. The US policy is to buy off, overthrow, or
make war on leaders of other countries who represent their peoples’ interests instead of American interests. A
recent victim was the president of Honduras who had the wild idea that the Honduran government should serve the
Honduran people.
The American government was able to have the Honduran president discarded, because the Honduran military is
trained and supplied by the US military. It is the same case in Pakistan, where the US government has the Pakistani
government making war on its own people by invading tribal areas that the Americans consider to be friendly to the
Taliban, al Qaeda, “militants” and “terrorists.”
Earlier this year a deputy US Treasury secretary ordered Pakistan to raise taxes so that the Pakistani
government could more effectively make war on its own citizens for the Americans. On October 14 US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
ordered Pakistan to again raise taxes or the US would withhold flood aid. Clinton pressured America’s European
puppet states to do the same, expressing in the same breath that the US government was worried by British cuts in
the military budget. God forbid that the hard-pressed British, still reeling from American financial fraud, don’t
allocate enough money to fight America’s wars.
On Washington’s orders, the Pakistani government launched a military offensive against Pakistani citizens in the
Swat Valley that killed large numbers of Pakistanis and drove millions of civilians from their homes. Last July the
US instructed Pakistan to send its troops against the Pakistani residents of North Waziristan. On July 6 Jason Ditz reported on antiwar.com that
“at America’s behest, Pakistan has launched offensives against [the Pakistani provinces of] Swat Valley, Bajaur,
South Waziristan, Orakzai,and Khyber.”
A week later Israel’s US Senator Carl Levin (D,MI) called for escalating the Obama Administration’s policies of
US airstrikes against Pakistan’s tribal areas. On September
30, the Pakistani newspaper, The Frontier Post, wrote that the American air strikes “are, plain and
simple, a naked aggression against Pakistan.”
The US claims that its forces in Afghanistan have the right to cross into Pakistan in pursuit of “militants.”
Recently US helicopter gunships killed three Pakistani soldiers who they mistook for Taliban. Pakistan closed the
main US supply route to Afghanistan until the Americans apologized.
Pakistan warned Washington against future attacks. However, US military officials, under pressure from Obama to
show progress in the endless Afghan war, responded to Pakistan’s warning by calling for expanding the Afghan war
into Pakistan. On October 5 the Canadian
journalist Eric Margolis wrote that “the US edges closer to invading Pakistan.”
In his book, Obama’s Wars, Bob Woodward reports that America’s puppet president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari,
believes that terrorist bombing attacks inside Pakistan for which the Taliban are blamed are in fact CIA operations designed to destabilize Pakistan and allow Washington to
seize Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
To keep Pakistan in line, the US government changed its position that the “Times Square Bombing” was the work of
a “lone wolf.” Attorney General Eric Holder switched the blame to the “Pakistani Taliban,” and Secretary of State
Clinton threatened Pakistan with “very serious consequences” for the unsuccessful Times Square bombing, which
likely was a false flag operation aimed at Pakistan.
To further heighten tensions, on September
1 the eight members of a high-ranking Pakistani military delegation in route to a meeting in
Tampa, Florida, with US Central Command, were rudely treated and detained as terrorist suspects at Washington DC’s
Dulles Airport.
For decades the US government has enabled repeated Israeli military aggression against Lebanon and now appears
to be getting into gear for another Israeli assault on the former American protectorate of Lebanon. On
October 14 the US government
expressed its “outrage” that the Lebanese government had permitted a visit by Iranian President Ahmadinejad,
who is the focus of Washington’s intense demonization efforts. Israel’s representatives in the US Congress
threatened to stop US military aid to Lebanon, forgetting that US Rep. Howard Berman (D,CA) has had aid to
Lebanon blocked since last August to punish Lebanon for a border clash with Israel.
Perhaps the most telling headline of all is the October 14 report, “Somalia’s New American Primer Minister.” An American has
been installed as the Prime Minister of Somalia, an American puppet government in Mogadishu backed up by thousands
of Ugandan troops paid by Washington.
This barely scratches the surface of Washington’s benevolence toward other countries and respect for their
rights, borders, and lives of their citizens.
Meanwhile, to silence Wikileaks and to prevent any more revelations of American war crimes, the “freedom and
democracy” government in DC has closed down Wikileaks’ donations by placing the organization on its “watch list”
and by having the Australian puppet government blacklist Wikileaks.
Wikileaks is now akin to a terrorist organization. The American government’s practice of silencing critics will
spread across the Internet.
Remember, they hate us because we have freedom and democracy, First Amendment rights, habeas corpus, respect for
human rights, and show justice and mercy to all.
US: we initiate terrorism to create
terrorists to overthrow governments
Wesley Clark, Supreme Allied Commander NATO, testifies in
this 2-minute video that the US planned to overthrow seven countries after 9/11: Iraq,
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
The Pentagon admitted a strategy to do so (here, here, here):
the US conducts acts of terrorism in nations they want to control,
the US continues terrorism to provoke an act of reprisal,
the US labels the reprisal “terrorism” to justify covert and overt military operations to overthrow
targeted governments.
Therefore, the US caused the “war on terror” as a policy choice; 9/11 was pretense and
not the cause.
Indeed, war law and two UN Security Council Resolutions provided international cooperation for
factual discovery of the 9/11 terrorists, arrests, and trial for lawful justice all nations supported.
The US rejects the rule of law, violates treaty obligations, killed over a million human beings from armed
attacks since 9/11, and so far has long-term costs of $4 to $6 trillion to US taxpayers ($40 – $60,000 per household).
This rogue state of the US ends when enough Americans in military, law enforcement,
government, media, education, and the general public have sufficient intellectual integrity and moral courage to
accept the “emperor has no clothes” obvious facts.
This unlawful policy choice of the US for Wars of Aggression has killed 20-30 million people in covert and overt wars since 1945. It follows a long
history of lie-began and treaty-violated wars of choice to steal land and resources, as I’ve reminded the public before:
2. US President Polk lied to Congress to initiate a War of Aggression in Mexico. The result was
the US taking 40% of Mexico in 1848. This occurred despite Abraham Lincoln’s crystal-clear explanation as a
member of Congress that the Adams-Onis Treaty placed the “border dispute” 400 miles within land forever promised
to Mexico and forever promised as outside any US claim.
10. The two “reasons” for war with Iran are as false as the “reasons” for war with Iraq. Beware a false flag
attack by the US or Israel to blame on Iran as pretext for another “defensive” war:
ISIS is a product of U.S. government’s twisted
and decrepit foreign policy
by SCGNews | August 30, 2014
The Islamic militant group ISIS, formerly known as Al-Qaeda
in Iraq, and recently rebranded as the so called Islamic State, is the stuff of nightmares. They are ruthless,
fanatical, killers, on a mission, and that mission is to wipe out anyone and everyone, from any religion or belief
system and to impose Shari’ah law. The mass executions, beheadings and even crucifixions that they are committing
as they work towards this goal are flaunted like badges of pride, video taped and uploaded for the whole world to
see. This is the new face of evil.
Would it interest you to know who helped these psychopaths
rise to power? Would it interest you to know who armed them, funded them and trained them? Would it interest you to
know why?
This story makes more sense if we start in the middle, so we’ll begin with the overthrow of Muammar
Gaddafi in 2011.
The Libyan revolution was Obama’s first major foreign intervention. It was portrayed as an
extension of the Arab Spring, and NATO involvement was framed in humanitarian terms.
These jihadist militants from Iraq were part of what national security analysts commonly referred
to as Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Remember Al-Qaeda in Iraq was ISIS before it was rebranded. (Article

New York Times Reports U.S. Giving al-Qaeda Millions of
Dollars
Staggering amount of evidence reveals terror is U.S. and Saudi
creation
by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | March 17, 2015
The U.S. government says it has given al-Qaeda millions of
dollars “largely because of poor oversight and loose financial controls,” reports The
New York Times.
Accodding to Fox News and the corporate media it is merely another instance of graft and
government mismanagement.
The money, supposedly part of a secret CIA
fund to pay kidnappers, was used by al-Qaeda for operational costs and weapons.
Details of the money transfers supposedly showed up in the papers of Osama bin Laden who was,
according to the official war on terror narrative, killed in 2010 in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs. In fact,
according to multiples sources, the former CIA operator who headed up the Arab Afghans in the CIA’s war against
the Soviet Union in Afghanistan died in late 2001, not 2010 as the government and its corporate media
insist.
A fictional twist to the government story on the payment to al-Qaeda has Osama bin Laden worried
the money was contaminated with radiation or poison or that it would be used to track al-Qaeda leaders and
operatives.
Funding Crucial to War on Terror Operation
The recent effort to fund the enemy and thus continue unabated the highly profitable military
industrial complex and government manufactured war on terror has cost over a hundred million dollars, most of it
dispensed under the excuse of paying ransom, which the U.S. publicly denies paying.
In 2013 alone, the United States paid out $165 million. Since 2008, according to the Times, other countries added the
following amounts to the total:
France: $58.1 Million
Qatar and Oman: $20.4 Million
Switzerland: $12.4 Million
Spain: $11 Million
Austria: $3.2 Million
Undetermined Countries: $21.4 Million
Additionally, millions of dollars ends up in
al-Qaeda and Taliban coffers through contractors working in Afghanistan.
“I am deeply troubled that the US military can pursue, attack and even kill terrorists and their
supporters,” said
John Sopko, Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction, in a letter sent to Congress in 2013, “but
that some in the US government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government
contract.”
From the CIA’s massive operation in Afghanistan, funding and creating the Mujahideen that would
become al-Qaeda and the Taliban, to its work with other terrorist groups, including the drug-running Kosovo
Liberation Army, Chechnya terrorists and the Jundullah terrorists attacking Iran, there is plenty of evidence the
United States government and its partners are engaged in supporting terrorist groups for political gain.
As
Sam Muhho notes, it is not religious sectarianism or the Wahhabist drive to execute apostates under the
banner of ISIS that is the problem, but rather it “is the hegemonic and imperialist designs of the NATO governments
who have on-record worked with Saudi Arabia and Qatar to use Islamic extremists throughout the Middle East as their
‘Swiss army knife of destabilization’ in order to reorient the Middle East per their interests.”
The ISIS phase of the clash of civilizations, as plotted by the neocons and the globalist think
tanks, is designed to make the war on terror a permanent feature. It not only enriches the military industrial
complex and a burgeoning national and homeland security industry, but also aimed at threatening the designs of
China and Russia in the Middle East and Africa, supporting the “imperial geostrategy,” as Zbigniew Brzezinski described it, and thus “prevent
collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep
the barbarians from coming together.”
The Globalists' Swiss Army Knife for
Destabilization
Al Qaeda's Dark Secret Exposed
In a special video address, Alex Jones terms the al Qaeda intelligence operation a 'swiss
army knife' for destabilization. Simply put, it is a tool to foment crisis that allows the globalists to offer
up a solution.The shadowy enemy supposedly run by Osama bin Laden and top jihadists like Anwar al-Awlaki is
really run out of U.S. foreign policy and the Pentagon. It is perhaps government's greatest hoax... and one of
the oldest tricks in the book.
For the average person who has lived through the phony 'War on Terror', a post-9/11 age of fear that has swirled
around the persona of bin Laden, it may be quite confusing to now read headlines like Libya: the West and al-Qaeda
on the same side. Indeed the rebel forces trying to topple Gaddafi admittedly include thousands of al Qaeda forces
while enjoying total backing-- weapons, planes, funding and forces-- from the U.S., Britain, NATO and other
allies.

Al-Qaeda terror mastermind Anwar Al-Awlaki, the man who

Terrorist Wined and Dined at The
Pentagon

Documents obtained by accountability
group Judicial Watch have confirmed that US-born Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi, said to be the former leader of
al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), was arrested and held in Yemen at the behest of the U.S. Embassy before
being released again.
The documents also reveal that the terrorist chief, who previously dined with top brass at the Pentagon, was
officially invited to the US embassy in Yemen on March 24, 2011, just six months before his supposed assassination
by US drone strike. http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-docum...
FALSE FLAG Anwar Al Awlaki The CIA Lackey Dined
At The Pentagon Months After The 9/11 Attacks
EXCLUSIVE: Al Qaeda Leader Dined at the
Pentagon Just Months After 9/11 October 20, 2010
Anwar Al-Awlaki may be the first American on the CIA's kill or capture list, but he was also a lunch guest of
military brass at the Pentagon within months of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Fox News has learned.
Documents exclusively obtained by Fox News, including an FBI interview conducted after the Fort Hood shooting in
November 2009, state that Awlaki was taken to the Pentagon as part of the military's outreach to the Muslim
community in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.
The incident was flagged by a current Defense Department employee who came forward and told investigators she
helped arrange the meeting after she saw Awlaki speak in Alexandria, Va.
The employee "attended this talk and while she arrived late she recalls being impressed by this imam. He condemned
Al Qaeda and the terrorist attacks. During his talk he was 'harassed' by members of the audience and suffered it
well," reads one document.
According to the documents, obtained as part of an ongoing investigation by the specials unit "Fox News Reporting,"
there was a push within the Defense Department to reach out to the Muslim community.
"At that period in time, the secretary of the Army (redacted) was eager to have a presentation from a moderate
Muslim."
In addition, Awlaki "was considered to be an 'up and coming' member of the Islamic community. After her vetting,
Aulaqi (Awlaki) was invited to and attended a luncheon at the Pentagon in the secretary of the Army's Office of
Government Counsel."
Awlaki, a Yemeni-American who was born in Las Cruces, N.M., was interviewed at least four times by the FBI in the
first week after the attacks because of his ties to the three hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Hani
Hanjour. The three hijackers were all onboard Flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon.
Awlaki is now believed to be hiding in Yemen after he was linked to the alleged Ft. Hood shooter Major Nidal Malik
Hasan, who e-mailed Awlaki prior to the attack.
Sources told Fox News that Awlaki, who is a former Muslim chaplain at George Washington University, met with the
Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in Yemen and was the middle-man between the young Nigerian and the
bombmaker. Awlaki was also said to inspire would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad.
Apparently, none of the FBI's information about Awlaki was shared with the Pentagon. Former Army Secretary Tommy
White, who led the Army in 2001, said he doesn't have any recollection of the luncheon or any contact with
Awlaki.
"If this was a luncheon at the Office of Government Counsel, I would not necessarily be there," he said.
The Pentagon has offered no explanation of how a man, now on the CIA kills or capture list, ended up at a special
lunch for Muslim outreach.
After repeated requests for comment on the vetting process beginning on October 13th, an Army spokesman insisted
Wednesday that the lunch was not an Army event. "The Army has found no evidence that the Army either sponsored or
participated in the event described in this report," spokesman Thomas Collins said.
Collins also noted that the FBI document referred to the "Office of Government Counsel" but should read "Office of
General Counsel."
Collins said he believed the event was sponsored by the office of the Secretary of Defense. A spokeswoman there
said she would look into it and get back to Fox News.
A former high-ranking FBI agent told Fox News that at the time Awlaki went to lunch at the Pentagon, there was
tremendous "arrogance" about the vetting process at the Pentagon.
"They vetted people politically and showed indifference toward security and intelligence advice of others," the
former agent said.
Exclusive Al Awlaki Dined at
Pentagon in Months After 9 11
American-born cleric Awlaki’s role as a key figure in
almost every recent terror plot targeting the United States and Canada, coupled with his visit to the Pentagon,
only confirms our long stated position that Awlaki is a chief terrorist patsy-handler for the CIA – he is the
federal government’s premier false flag agent.
“Documents exclusively obtained by Fox News, including an FBI interview conducted after the Fort Hood shooting
in November 2009, state that Awlaki was taken to the Pentagon as part of the military’s outreach to the Muslim
community in the immediate aftermath of the attacks,” states the report.
Awlaki was vetted before he was invited to attend a luncheon at the Pentagon in the secretary of the Army’s
Office of Government Counsel. His appearance at the meeting was deliberately engineered despite Awlaki’s ties to
three of the alleged 9/11 hijackers – Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Hani Hanjour – who were identified as
the suicide pilots that slammed Flight 77 into the Pentagon.
Following the Fort Hood shooting it was also revealed that shooter
Major Nidal Malik Hasan had been in contact with Awlaki before the rampage. Awlaki preached to both Hasan
and the 9/11 hijackers at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia in 2001.
Awlaki also met with Christmas Day underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and acted as “the middle-man
between the young Nigerian and the bombmaker.”
As we have thoroughly documented, the Delta Flight 253 incident was staged from start to finish. The US State Department allowed Abdulmutallab to
board the plane, aided by a well-dressed Indian man, despite the fact that he was on a terror watch list and
had no passport.
The Christmas Day incident was a boon for companies linked with the military-industrial complex, as it greased
the skids for the global introduction of naked body scanners in airports.
“The Pentagon has offered no explanation of how a man, now on the CIA kills or capture list, ended up at a
special lunch for Muslim outreach,” states the Fox News report.
The explanation is quite simple – Awlaki is the CIA’s chief patsy handler for planning and staging false flag
terror attacks through the dupes that he radicalizes.
As Webster Tarpley has
documented, Awlaki is “an intelligence agency operative and patsy-minder” and “one of the premier terror
impresarios of the age operating under Islamic fundamentalist cover” whose job it is to “motivate and encourage
groups of mentally impaired and suggestible young dupes who were entrapped into “terrorist plots” by busy FBI and
Canadian RCMP agents during recent years.”
Tarpley points to Awlaki’s
role in the Toronto and Fort
Dix, New Jersey, terror plots, which were both contrived by the feds, as proof of Awlaki’s usefulness to the
authorities in radicalizing terrorist patsies.
Lawyers in a case relating to the much vaunted 2007 terror plot to attack Fort Dix and kill “as many soldiers as
possible” concluded that FBI
informants were the key figures behind the operation and that the accused, six foreign-born Muslims, were
merely bungling patsies.
Similarly,
the “Toronto 18″ terrorists turned out to be “a bunch of incompetent guys who were primarily misled by a
delusional megalomaniac”. The explosive fertilizer material the terrorist cell apparently planned to use was in
fact purchased by an informant working for the RCMP who had radicalized the group.
Given the fact that Awlaki is a double operative, claiming to be an Al-Qaeda leader yet in fact working for U.S.
intelligence, it’s hardly surprising that he made an appearance at the Pentagon.
Awlaki has also appeared in video tapes purporting to be Al-Qaeda propaganda material released by the
IntelCenter, which as we
have documented is nothing more than a Pentagon front group that has been caught red-handed releasing fake
Al-Qaeda videos to bolster support for the geopolitical agenda of the US government.
Confirmation that Awlaki met with Pentagon officials after having inspired the very 9/11 hijackers that are
blamed for flying a commercial airliner into the Pentagon provides yet more startling evidence that the highest
levels of Al-Qaeda are completely penetrated and run by the US military industrial complex, which via patsy
handlers like Awlaki is staging false flag attacks to boost their own domestic and geopolitical agenda.
THE CIA
An independent agency of the United States government responsible for
collecting and coordinating intelligence and counterintelligence activities abroad in the national
interest; headed by the Director of Central Intelligence under the supervision of the President and
National Security Council...There has been considerable criticism of the CIA relating to security
and counterintelligence failures, failures in intelligence analysis, human rights concerns,
external investigations and document releases, influencing public opinion and law enforcement, drug
trafficking, and lying to Congress. In 1987, the former CIA Station Chief in Angola in 1976, John
Stockwell, said the CIA is responsible for tens of thousands of covert actions and destablization
programs since it was created by Congress with the passage of the National Security Act of
1947.At the time, Stockwell estimated that over 6
million people had died in CIA covert actions.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a governmental agency
belonging to the United StatesDepartment of Justice that serves as both a federal criminal
investigative body and an internal intelligence agency (counterintelligence). Also, it is the
government agency responsible for investigating crimes on Indian reservations in the United States
under the Major Crimes Act. The branch has investigative jurisdiction over violations of more than
200 categories of federal crime. The agency was established in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation
(BOI). Its name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935. The agency
headquarters is the J. Edgar Hoover Building, located in Washington, D.C. The agency has fifty-six
field offices located in major cities throughout the United States, and more than 400 resident
agencies in lesser cities and areas across the nation. More than 50 international offices called
"legal attachés" exist in U.S. embassies and consulates general worldwide.
'Federal Bureau of Investigation organizes almost
all terror plots in the US' ...The report reveals that the FBI regularly infiltrates communities
where they suspect terrorist-minded individuals to be engaging with others. Regardless of their
intentions, agents are sent in to converse within the community, find suspects that could
potentially carry out “lone wolf” attacks and then, more or less, encourage them to do so. By
providing weaponry, funds and a plan, FBI-directed agents will encourage otherwise-unwilling
participants to plot out terrorist attacks, only to bust them before any events fully
materialize.
A former Marine Corps Colonel who was stationed
in Fallujah and trained Iraqi soldiers warns that the Department of Homeland Security is working with law

Psyops, or psychological operations, is a term used to describe the
techniques of psychological manipulation used in warfare. These operations are used to deceive, confuse, disrupt
and demoralize the enemy, with an aim toward weakening enemy resistance or even causing enemy forces to surrender
and enemy populations to capitulate.
It remains to
be seen how many Americans will keep buying the proven lies from their government (note the links
below). Time will soon tell if the people of this nation have the good sense to face that they are
being lied to, or succumb to government propaganda and
demoralization.
Ex-propagandist for the
KGB,Yuri Bezmenov,
had this to say about demoralizing a people:
"A
s I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was
demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him
with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe
it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization."
In addition to images of President
Obama’s address to the American public on Sunday night, it has emerged that the dramatic
photos of Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton and members of the White House security team watching
the assassination of Bin Laden “live” were in fact completely staged, casting further doubt
on the ever-changing official account of the operation.
The staging of the Obama speech
photo is embarrassing, but the staging of the situation room photos, which were heavily
promoted by the establishment media, falsely presented as evidence that Obama, Biden and
Clinton saw the assassination of Osama live, and used by the White House to lend credence to
the fairytale they were busily scripting, are damning.
DHS Gave Muslim Brotherhood
VIP Treatment, NO TSA PAT DOWNS
A newly released document obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request confirms that
the State Department ordered the Department of Homeland Security to spare members of the Muslim Brotherhood
traveling to the US in 2012 a TSA pat down or any kind of secondary screening.
The one page document (PDF), obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, shows
that members of a Muslim Brotherhood delegation traveling through Minneapolis Airport, New York’s John F. Kennedy
Airport and Dulles Airport were handed expedited entry known as “port courtesy,” which is normally reserved for
high ranking government officials and dignitaries. At the time, the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohamed Morsi,
later deposed, had not been elected president.
Bin Laden was a strawman-villain concocted by the Western
intelligence apparatus to take the blame for the orchestrated terror that is scripted and carried out by the
globalist-allied factions. The Phantom Osama bin Laden was a skeleton key opening the door to foreign intervention
in the middle east or anywhere al Qaeda might be. The motive is simple-- ever-expanding wars for the military
industrial complex, and the often more lucrative periods of reconstruction (i.e. you break it, you buy it). The
occupation continues here at home with the creation of a police state supposedly meant to combat
terrorism.
Umar Farouk Abdulmatallab aka
The Underwear Bomber
This story is particularly important because it is the event that ushered in the
naked body scanners that are now in place in many U.S. airports. If you research
deeper into this topic you will find that many of these scanners were ordered before the
supposed terrorist event (UNDERWEAR BOMBER) took place.

Obama, the Cloward-Piven Strategy,
and the New World
Order “Barack Obama is Destroying Our
Economy on Purpose,”
an interview with author James Simpson.
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
March 10, 2009
On March 9, Brannon Howse of Worldview Radio interviewed author James Simpson. Entitled “Barack
Obama is Destroying Our Economy on Purpose,” Howse’s interview of Simpson concentrated on Columbia University
professors Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven who wrote an article in 1966 for The Nation magazine.
“The article was published on May 2, 1966 and laid out what is now known as the ‘Cloward-Piven Strategy’. The
plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing
our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions,” explains a synopsis on
the Worldview Radio website. “Cloward and Piven studied Saul Alinsky just like Hillary Clinton and President
Obama.”
Alinsky is considered to be the founder of modern community organizing in America. Alinsky’s teachings
influenced Obama early in his career as a community organizer on the far South Side of Chicago. Obama worked for
Gerald Kellman’s Developing Communities Project where he learned and taught Alinsky’s methods for community
organizing. Obama would later work for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
According to Sol Stern of the Manhattan Institute, ACORN is a modern successor of the radical 1960’s
“New Left” and holds a “1960’s-bred agenda of anti-capitalism” to be implemented through “undisguised
authoritarian socialism.”
It is a brand of “undisguised authoritarian socialism” supported by the
establishment. As the Union News reported last October, ACORN receives funding from the Robin Hood
Foundation, a charity supported — to the tune $9,859,453 — by the globalist George Soros and his Soros Fund
Charitable Foundation.
“Soros is the visible side of a vast and nasty secret network of private financial interests, controlled by the
leading aristocratic and royal families of Europe, centered in the British House of Windsor,” writes William Engdahl. According to Engdahl, Soros “is part of a tightly knit financial mafia —
‘mafia,’ in the sense of a closed masonic-like fraternity of families pursuing common aims.”
As Antony Sutton documented (Wall Street & the Bolshevik Revolution), the very fount of “authoritarian socialism” was
created and lavishly funded by the bankers. “The involvement of the Rockefellers with their supposed blood
enemies, the Communists, dates back to the Bolshevik Revolution,” notes Gary Allen (None Dare Call it
Conspiracy, chapter 6). “The Federal Reserve-CFR insiders began pushing to open up Communist Russia to U.S.
traders soon after the revolution.”
In addition, the bankers have supported “communism” in the United States. Considering this, it should come as no
surprise the anti-capitalist “Cloward-Piven Strategy” was published by The Nation, a magazine with a
well-documented connection to the CIA. As researcher Bob Feldman notes, The Nation is connected to the National Endowment for Democracy, a
CIA front group involved in overthrowing countries around the world by way of “color revolution.” The CIA has a
history of collaboration with the Ford Foundation (see James Petras: “The Ford Foundation and the CIA: A documented case of philanthropic collaboration with the
Secret Police”).
In 1954, Rowan Gaither of the Ford Foundation told Reese Commission investigator Norman Dodd
that “the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant making power to alter life in the
United States so that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union.”
This merging with the Soviet Union (or more accurately, “authoritarian socialism”) has nothing to do with the
sort of communism taught in school textbooks — a dictatorship of the proletariat and the workers — but rather it is
an authoritarian control system engineered by the bankers and the global elite. “This new and complete Revolution
we contemplate can be defined in a very few words. It is … outright world-socialism, scientifically planned and
directed,” H.G. Wells wrote in The New World Order.
It is a mistake to believe the Cloward-Piven Strategy is scheme cooked up by academic Marxists of “New Left”
bent dedicated to the destruction of capitalism in the name of some sort of vaguely defined humanitarianism. In
fact, “the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our
economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions” is a meticulous plan on the
part of the global elite to consolidate power and destroy all opposition.
It has nothing to do with liberating the proletariat but rather subjecting them to banker engineered
“world-socialism, scientifically planned and directed” and devised to transform the planet into a banker dominated
high-tech prison gulag.

Border Agent
Issues Desperate Plea for Help, Says US Completely Overrun By Criminal
Aliens “The ones we are losing are
convicted felons, aliens from special interest countries, and other high risk
individuals.."
by Adan Salazar | Infowars | June 10, 2014
A US Border Patrol agent stationed in South Texas has reached out to
Infowars in a desperate plea for help, stating more than half of immigrants crossing the border end up doing so
successfully and that many of those are the most criminal types.
“As a Border Patrol Agent, I can tell you as an eye witness that we are currently losing more than we are
catching,” the agent claims, whose name has been withheld to protect him from retaliation.
Labeling efforts to secure the border an “ongoing crisis,” the agent points to numerous issues further adding to
the fruitless task, including a lack of staffing, a lack of support from the American people and the Obama
administration’s refusal to acknowledge the crisis.
Patrolling the Rio Grande Valley sector, the United States’ southernmost border with Mexico and its most porous,
the agent says immigrants who evade capture are typically the most violent.
“The ones we are losing are convicted felons, aliens from special interest countries, and other high risk
individuals. We are so overwhelmed and preoccupied by the flood of juveniles and family units that we cannot use
our resources to catch the more serious aliens,” the agent states.
Furthermore, the agent says, under the direction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, immigrants are being
rounded up and released in largely-Hispanic populated South Texas towns, such as Brownsville and McAllen, because
“fewer people will notice or care.”
“We have been doing that for months before the stories broke in Phoenix, Arizona a couple of weeks ago,” reports
the agent.
Americans desperate for a solution to the overwhelming number of immigrants flooding past the border (the agent
estimates they are unable to prevent sometimes more than 10,000 per week) have started petitions on the White House
website asking President Obama for support.
“The Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley Sector is overwhelmed and at a breaking point,” one petition says.
“We The People need President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security to protect us and take the necessary
steps to meet this state of emergency adequately and immediately.”
The agent’s statements echo sentiments put forth last year by Immigration Customs and Enforcement union boss
Chris Crane, who in February testified before a House Judiciary Committee about the lawlessness behind the
“nation’s broken immigration system,” stating that, “Ice has essentially prohibited its agents from enforcing”
immigration law.
While Infowars frequently highlights violations of the
Fourth Amendment by overzealous border agents, it is equally reprehensible the Department of Homeland Security and
the Obama administration are failing to address the flood of criminal immigrants invading the nation.
Below is the agent’s distressing letter in full…
Good Morning,
I am a Border Patrol Agent in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV), south of Corpus Christi, Texas. Thank you
for your continued support and coverage of the ongoing crisis on the border. I would like to take a moment to
convey the absolute desperation that we are reaching down here. We have been ordered to release thousands of
Family Units (Parent/Child), and thousands of teenage unaccompanied juveniles (Under 18). We have encountered
numerous instances of fraud, kidnapping, and exploitation where adults are claiming that very young children
are their own, when in fact they are not. Many of the unaccompanied juveniles are claiming that they have a
responsible parent to be released to, when in fact they do not.
As a Border Patrol Agent, I can tell you as an eye witness that we are currently losing more than we are
catching. On a good day, we catch approximately 30 to 40 percent of all crossers while the rest simply get
away. In the RGV, we have been averaging around 10,000 apprehensions per week. That means we are losing well
over 10,000 aliens per week. And the aliens that are getting away are not the juveniles or the family units
because they are turning themselves in at the first sight of agents. The ones we are losing are convicted
felons, aliens from special interest countries, and other high risk individuals. We are so overwhelmed and
preoccupied by the flood of juveniles and family units that we cannot use our resources to catch the more
serious aliens.
In the RGV, we have been releasing aliens, through ICE, in Brownsville, Texas and McAllen, Texas. We have
been ordered to go out of our way to bus them to those locations for release because they are cities of mostly
Hispanic heritage, so fewer people will notice or care. We have been doing that for months before the stories
broke in Phoenix, Arizona a couple of weeks ago.
We cannot get any attention or relief down here. We desperately need immediate manpower, resources, and a
firm support of Americans. This is de facto amnesty. The President and the Secretary of Homeland Security will
ignore this issue as long as possible in order to let as many illegal aliens gain entry into the United
States.
Again, thank you for your undying support and patriotism. You have no idea how much my fellow agents and I
appreciate it.
God Bless America,
Infowars has confirmed the identity of the agent.
Feds Stand Down As U.S. Border
Collapses Border Patrol trucks sit in parking
lots as surge of
illegal immigrants flood America
by Kit Daniels | Infowars.com | June 23, 2014
The decrease of Border Patrol activity in the border city of Brownsville, Texas, highlights how not only is the
Border Patrol stretched too thin, but its agents are also being pressured to stand down from enforcing immigration
laws.
Additionally, the feds are ensuring a media blackout of
the border collapse by closing down areas near the border which have traditionally been open to the public.
In and around Brownsville, far more Border Patrol vehicles could be seen parked at various government facilities
than patrolling the streets and surrounding areas, contrary to what one would expect considering the current flood
of tens of thousands of immigrants from Central America crossing the border.
And while Americans are routinely violated – and abused – at TSA checkpoints in the name of “safety,” illegal
immigrants on the other hand are roaming past America’s border with complete impunity and are given better
treatment by the government.
Of course, by shutting down public areas near the border, the Obama administration can cover this up to its
advantage as the White House pressures Congress into enacting amnesty in law, all while reducing national
sovereignty at the same time.
How could there be aWar on Terror and actually say that we're having
awar against terrorism, and leave the
borders wide open? If you were the President of the United States, or I were the President of the United

James O’Keefe Crosses The US-Mexico
Border Dressed As Osama Bin Laden O’Keefe: “I see no border patrol. I see no security."
by Patrick Howley | Daily Caller | August 11, 2014
Investigative filmmaker James O’Keefe exposes
the U.S.-Mexico border’s vulnerability to terrorism in his latest undercover project, obtained exclusively by
The Daily Caller.
O’Keefe’s Project Veritas video reminds viewers of recent statements by the president and Obama
administration officials that the southern border is secure. O’Keefe then proceeds to Hudspeth County, Texas, to
easily cross back and forth cross the Rio Grande wearing the costume of modern history’s most recognizable
terrorist.
“I see no border patrol. I see no
security,” O’Keefe said in the video before donning a bin Laden mask. “Thousands of people have stood in my
footsteps right now. They’ve come from South America, Honduras, Guatemala, and they’ve all crossed the border.
And if they can cross, anybody can cross.” (RELATED: The Time Fidel Castro Snuck Into America From Mexico)
O’Keefe’s work often distinguishes itself for proving taboo but accurate premises – in this case,
that Islamic extremists are able to gain entry to the United States from Mexico, where drug cartels are linked
to numerous terrorist organizations including Hezbollah and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), the
strongest al-Qaida-like organization in the heart of the Middle East.
This summer has seen a whirlwind of terrorist activity on the southern border, with dire anecdotes
pouring out of local news stations but ignored by the mainstream press. Security contractors found a Muslim
prayer rug on the Arizona border, where 300 extremists affiliated with al-Qaida’s Somalia syndicate al-Shabab
recently entered the United States unaccounted for. Terrorist watch-list suspects were also detained trying to
get into the country through California. Country music legend Charlie Daniels revealed that, “I personally spoke
with an Arizona law enforcement officer who had taken four what he called ‘Taliban’ out of the back of an 18
wheeler.”
Relevant on the contemporary merits, O’Keefe’s video also makes an important symbolic point
thirteen confusing years after the attacks of 9/11. The terrorists we’re fighting today are more technologically
savvy than their idol Osama bin Laden, the self-designed political figure who tried to fire history’s loudest
shot. But their motives have not changed. And they have access to the United States.
Man Crosses U.S. Border Dressed as
ISIS Terrorist, Simulates Beheading
Stunt took place in exact spot where feds say
ISIS terror attack is imminent
by Paul Joseph Watson | September 5, 2014
Infowars reporter Joe Biggs crossed the U.S. border from
Mexico dressed as an ISIS militant to illustrate how easy it is for anyone to get into America despite warnings
that Islamic State terrorists are plotting to carry out attacks on the homeland from their base in Juarez.
Just miles from the center of El Paso, Texas, Biggs was able
to cross a river from Mexico into America dressed as a jihadist, while simulating a beheading and waving an ISIS
flag.
“We dressed up as an ISIS jihadi to be as obvious as possible and to show and illustrate just how
wide open the border really is,” states Biggs.
Last month, James
O’Keefe also demonstrated the porous state of the U.S. border when he crossed an unguarded footbridge in
the upper Rio Grande while dressed as Osama Bin Laden.
Biggs’ stunt is shocking given that ISIS militants are currently operational in Juarez, Mexico,
just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
According to an alert released by watchdog
group Judicial Watch which cites high level law enforcement and intelligence sources, “Islamic terrorist
groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car
bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED).”
“Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups
are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source. “It’s coming very soon,” according to
this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.”
As we previously reported, the
Vice President of the Border Patrol Council was silenced from commenting on the risk of an assault on the U.S.
border by ISIS.
A
recent report by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) found that illegal immigrants from
over 75 countries are crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, including individuals from Syria where ISIS has announced
the establishment of its Islamic caliphate.
Yesterday, Senator Rand
Paul urged the White House to, “secure our own borders and immigration policy from ISIS infiltration,”
pointing to the ISIS terror threat to the southern border.
The fact that it is so easy for ISIS militants, drug dealers and other terrorists to cross into
America via the largely unguarded border while ordinary Americans face routine harassment at the hands of the TSA
merely for flying within the country highlights the ludicrousness of the Obama administration’s claim that it is
adequately protecting the homeland.
Last month, the TSA admitted that illegals
were allowed to board planes within the United States without having to show any form of proper identification.
How could there be aWar on Terror and actually say that we're having
awar against terrorism, and leave the
borders wide open? If you were the President of the United States, or I were the President of the United
States, and9/11 really happened
the way they want us to believe it happened, the first thing you would do is shut down the borders, so people
couldn't get in the country to harm you. But they left the borders wide open. Becausethe bankers want the borders open, because they
want aone-world government.
They want a North American Union. They don't want borders
here.9/11 was only a
manifestation. It was done to create afear in the American public, so that we
willobey what they want us to
do.
In the video below, Alex Jones highlights how the
Guardian Centers video is yet another startling indication that authorities in the United States are preparing for
civil unrest as America increasingly begins to resemble a militarized police state.
March 19, 2013. Ten years ago today the Bush regime invaded Iraq. It is known that the
justification for the invasion was a packet of lies orchestrated by the neoconservative Bush regime in order to

The US Secretary of State at that time, General Colin Powell, has expressed his regrets that he was used by the
Bush regime to deceive the United Nations with fake intelligence that the Bush and Blair regimes knew to be fake.
But the despicable presstitute media has not apologized to the American people for serving the corrupt Bush regime

WHO ARE THE 'TERRORISTS'
THEY'RE TRAINING FOR?....YOU ARE THE TERRORIST THEY'RE
TRAINING FOR!
You Are A Terrorist
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com December 21, 2010
While the establishment
constantly invokes the contrived terror threat as justification for the announcement that your every activity is
being sent to federal fusion centers, those same fusion centers have been busy defining peaceful assembly,
non-violent protest and criticism of the government as domestic terrorism. According to the government’s own
definition of what constitutes terrorist activity – you are a terrorist. (Article Continued

TECHNOCRACY - A form of government in
which scientists and technical experts are in control "technocracy was described as that society in which those
who govern justify themselves by appeal to technical experts who justify themselves by appeal to scientific
forms of knowledge"
The Roots of Technocracy with Expert Patrick M.
Wood
Alex welcomes to the broadcast The August Forecast & Review Editor Patrick M. Wood to discuss
how the global elite within the Trilateral Commission are replacing capitalism with their own technocracy in
order to create a New International Economic Order.
There’s no doubt that
theWashington Post’s eight page “Monitoring America” story is correct when it states that Homeland Security is building a gargantuan database of every
website you visit, every email you send and every phone conversation you have in order to genuinely hunt down
terrorists.
The problem is, according to numerous law enforcement advisories, training
manuals, seminars and other literature, the federal government defines political activism, flying American flags,
wearing Levi jeans, being nice, looking “normal” and going scuba diving all as signs of domestic terror.
By encouraging Americans to “report suspicious activity” that includes such
behavior, the feds are knowingly on a mission to chill political dissent, by making people afraid to exercise their
constitutional rights in the fear that their neighbors will turn them in to the authorities unless they rigidly
control their behavior and don’t risk even patently benign activities being misconstrued.
Papers Please: Checkpoints in London ‘Because
Terrorism’
Separate London Underground poster reads, “Electronic
Surveillance is Essential”
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
January 24, 2014
A photograph taken in London’s Park Lane
underscores how authorities are randomly using dubious unspecified terror threats to set up ‘papers please’
checkpoints where innocent passers-by are searched by police.
Click for enlargement.
The sign in the photo reads, “SECURITY
OPERTION: Officers are conducting patrols in this area to deter and disrupt terrorist activity. There is not
specific intelligence to suggest terrorist activity in this area but terrorists need to plan and prepare by
observing possible targets or transporting equipment and material around.”
“Police activities, including stop and search, will make it harder for terrorists to operate. Your
co-operation and patience will help keep London safe.”
Last year it was found that a quarter of of police stop and search procedures in the UK were being
carried out
without officers obeying the law.
If random checkpoints where citizens are interrogated and frisked is not ’1984′ enough for you then
check out this advertisement currently being displayed at London Underground tube stations.
“ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE IS ESSENTIAL,” the sign reads above an image of a man in a balaclava with
an AK-47 sat at a computer. The ad goes on to make the claim, proven
false by numerous recent credible studies, that electronic snooping is useful in disrupting terrorist
plots.
The poster is actually an ad for the Economist magazine but looks more like something you’d see in
a dystopian thriller like Minority Report or The Running Man. Although it should appear next
to a similar poster which takes the opposing view on mass surveillance, it didn’t in this
instance.

The following is a list of behaviors, actions or interests that the federal government,
via centralized threat fusion centers that
collate such information, considers to be potential signs of
terrorismunder the MIAC
Report.
- Displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the
Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties
- Supporting Congressman Ron Paul
- Supporting former presidential candidate Chuck
Baldwin
- Supporting former Congressman Bob Barr
- Opposing the implementation of a North American
Union
- Owning gold bullion
- Displaying historical U.S. flags
- Opposing abortion
- Talking about the documentaryZeitgeist
According to an earlier document issued by the Joint
Terrorism Task Force (page
1 –page
2), the following behaviors, actions or interests are also signs of
terrorism.
- Being interested in animal rights
- Being a “lone individual”
- Making numerous references to the U.S. Constitution
- Defending the U.S. Constitution
- Claiming driving is a right, not a privilege
- Refusing to identify yourself to an authority figure
- Using a sketch pad, camera, map, binoculars or scuba
equipment
Do you fit into any of these
categories? Do you wear Levi jeans, act like a “nice guy,” look “normal” or support Ron Paul? Maybe you’re a
complete asshole, hate Ron Paul, look like a complete freak of nature, and only ever wear Lee jeans – but wait –
you like scuba diving! Oh no, you’re a terrorist. Your name will be in a threat fusion database somewhere, and
under the new definition of what constitutes a terrorist, which federal agencies are working under and promoting,
your neighbor will be acting perfectly reasonably when they inform on you to the authorities because you rented a
hotel room, used a large amount of cash, or possess a significant amount of alcohol.
Former FBI agent Michael German correctly identifies the fact that the “Monitoring
America” program has more to do with discouraging Americans from engaging in any kind of dissent than it does with
catching real terrorists.
“Treating innocent citizens as suspects flies in the face of our most fundamental
American values and does not make anyone safer. Americans must to be able to meet and debate without fear that
their associations and dissent will end up in a law enforcement database. Law enforcement already has the authority
it needs to fight crime and terrorism without sacrificing the rights of those it seeks to
protect,”said German.
This is about making every American in the country fear a knock on the door from
Homeland Security because if they misbehave in any way, if they show any kind of dissent against the state, or even
if they merely engage in completely innocent activities that are subsequently misconstrued by an informant society
that has been trained to suspect anything and everything as possible terror, they could become a target.
Welcome to the new America – a decrepit and decaying banana republic where the
government tells its people to spy on each other – a country where everyone is a potential terrorist and just as in
Orwell’s 1984, will come under suspicion if they don’t rigidly conform and ensure that their behavior displays the
maximum amount of fealty and subservience to the state.

'Federal Bureau of Investigation
organizes almost all terror plots in the US' ...The report reveals that the FBI regularly
infiltrates communities where they suspect terrorist-minded individuals to be engaging with others.
Regardless of their intentions, agents are sent in to converse within the community, find suspects
that could potentially carry out “lone wolf” attacks and then, more or less, encourage them to do
so. By providing weaponry, funds and a plan, FBI-directed agents will encourage otherwise-unwilling
participants to plot out terrorist attacks, only to bust them before any events fully
materialize.
Imagine a country in which the government pays convicted
con artists and criminals to scour minority religious communities for disgruntled, financially desperate, or
mentally ill patsies who can be talked into joining fake terror plots, even if only for money. Imagine that the
country’s government then busts its patsies with great fanfare to justify ever-increasing authority and
ever-increasing funding. According to journalist Trevor Aaronson’s The Terror Factory, this isn’t the premise for a
Kafka novel; it’s reality in the post-9/11 United States.
The Terror Factory is a well-researched and fast-paced exposé of the dubious tactics the FBI has used in
targeting Muslim Americans with sting operations since 2001. The book updates and expands upon Aaronson’s
award-winning 2011 Mother Jones cover story, “The Informants.” Most readers have likely heard about several alleged
conspiracies to attack skyscrapers, synagogues, or subway stations, involving either individuals that the FBI calls
“lone wolves” or small cells a credulous press tagged with such sinister appellations as the “Newburgh 4″ or the
“Liberty City 7.” Many of these frightening plots were almost entirely concocted and engineered by the FBI itself,
using corrupt agents provocateurs who often posed a far more serious criminal threat than the dim-witted saps the
investigations targeted.
“A real eye-opener that questions how well the country’s security is being
protected.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The Terror Factory is a damning exposé of how the government’s front line against terrorism has
become a network of snitches at the end of their ropes, and FBI agents desperate to thwart a terrorist plot even if
it means creating one.”
—Will Potter, Green is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege
“A disturbing window into America’s war on terror. In story after story, Aaronson reveals in detail how the
FBI and its informants are creating crime rather than solving it. This is an important piece of
journalism.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation employs upwards of
15,000 undercover agents today, ten times what they had on the roster back in 1975.
If you think that’s a few spies too many — spies earning as much as $100,000 per assignment — one doesn’t have
to go too deep into their track record to see their accomplishments. Those agents are responsible for an
overwhelming amount of terrorist stings that have stopped major domestic catastrophes in the vein of 9/11 from
happening on American soil.
Another thing those agents are responsible for, however, is plotting those very schemes.
The FBI has in recent years used trained informants not just to snitch on suspected terrorists, but to set them
up from the get-go. A recent report put together by Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at the
University of California-Berkley analyses some striking statistics about the role of FBI informants in terrorism
cases that the Bureau has targeted in the decade since the September 11 attacks.
The report reveals that the FBI regularly infiltrates communities where they suspect terrorist-minded
individuals to be engaging with others. Regardless of their intentions, agents are sent in to converse within the
community, find suspects that could potentially carry out “lone wolf” attacks and then, more or less, encourage
them to do so. By providing weaponry, funds and a plan, FBI-directed agents will encourage otherwise-unwilling
participants to plot out terrorist attacks, only to bust them before any events fully materialize.
Additionally, one former high-level FBI officials speaking to Mother Jones says that, for every informant
officially employed by the bureau, up to three unofficial agents are working undercover.

Inventing Terrorists:
US orchestrated most domestic
'terror-plots'?
We've all heard of pre-emptive strikes but what about pre-emptive prosecutions? Muslims in the US are outraged by
what appears to be America's latest tactic in its war on terror - entrapping people it suspects might plan
terrorist acts in the future. Marina Portnaya explains how almost 95% of convictions for this crime are the result
of FBI provocation.
News of a New Crime Wave broke this
week. A criminal organization admitted it committed over 5,600 crimes in one year — violent crimes, drug
manufacturing and trafficking, and political corruption. That organization is known as the
FBI.
We’ve previously noted – based
upon older figures – that:
– You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
– You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
— You are 11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an
airplane
— You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
–You are 404 times more likely to die in a fall than from a terrorist attack
— You are 87 times more likely to drown than die in a terrorist attack
– You are 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident than from a terrorist attack
–You are 12 times more likely to die from accidental suffocation in bed than from a terrorist attack
–You are 9 times more likely to choke to death on your own vomit than die in a terrorist attack
–You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist
–You are 8 times more likely to die from accidental electrocution than from a terrorist attack
– You are 6 times more likely to die from hot weather than from a terrorist attack
But we wanted to look at more recent statistics.
The U.S. Department of State reports that only 17 U.S. citizens were killed worldwide as a result of
terrorism. That figure includes deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and all other theaters of war.
In contrast, the American agency which tracks health-related issues – the U.S. Centers for Disease Control –
rounds up the most prevalent causes of death in the United States:
Comparing the CDC numbers to terrorism deaths means:
– You are 35,079 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
– You are 33,842 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
(Keep in mind when reading this entire piece that we are consistently and substantially
understating the risk of other causes of death as compared to terrorism, because we are comparing
deaths from various causes within the United States against deaths from terrorism worldwide.)
Wikipedia notes that there were 32,367 automobile accidents in 2011, which means that you are 1,904 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist
attack.
But not so fast. The CDC says that some 80,000 deaths each year are attributable to excessive alcohol use, making alcoholism
4,706 times more likely to kill you than a terrorist.
The annual number of deaths in the U.S. due to avoidable medical errors is as high as 100,000. Indeed, one of the world’s leading medical journals – Lancet – reported in 2011:
A November, 2010, document from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human
Services reported that, when in hospital, one in seven beneficiaries of Medicare (the government-sponsored
health-care programme for those aged 65 years and older) have complications from medical errors, which
contribute to about 180 000 deaths of patients per year. (Article Continues

[The Irrational Logic Of The War On
Terror]
The Art of Driving, by John Taylor
Gatto
Part five in a series of short videos based on John Taylor Gatto's book, The Underground
History of American Education.
This excerpt is from Chapter One - The Way It Used to Be
Section Four: "The Art of Driving"(p.26-27)
That’s just Medicare beneficiaries, not the entire
American public. Scientific American noted in 2009:
Preventable medical mistakes and infections are responsible for about 200,000 deaths
in the U.S. each year, according to an investigation by the Hearst media corporation.
But let’s use the lower – 100,000 – figure. That still means that you are 5,882 times more likely to die from medical error than terrorism.
Similarly – as Wikipedia notes – obesity is a a contributing factor in
100,000–400,000 deaths in the United States per year. That makes obesity much more likely
to kill you than a terrorist.
There were at least 155 Americans killed by police officers in the United States in 2011. That means that
you were more than 9 times more likely to be killed by a law enforcement officer than by a
terrorist.
The agency in charge of workplace safety – the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration – reports that
4,609 workers were killed on the job in 2011 within the U.S. homeland. In other words,
you are 271 times more likely to die from a workplace accident than terrorism.
Let’s switch to 2008, to take advantage of another treasure trove of data.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, 33 U.S. citizens were killed worldwide in 2008 from terrorism. There were 301,579,895
Americans living on U.S. soil in 2008, so the risk of dying from terrorist attacks in 2008 was 1 in 9,138,785.
This graphic from the National Safety Council – based upon 2008 data – shows the relative risks of dying from
various causes:
If the risk of being killed by a terrorist were added to
the list, the dot would be so small that it would be hard to see. Specifically, the risk of being killed
by terrorism in 2008 was 14 times smaller than being killed by fireworks.
[The risk of being killed by terrorism] compares annual risk of dying in a car accident of 1 in 19,000; drowning in
a bathtub at 1 in 800,000; dying in a building fire at 1 in 99,000; or being struck by
lightning at 1 in 5,500,000. In other words, in the last five years you were four times more
likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist.
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) has just published,
Background Report: 9/11, Ten Years Later [PDF]. The report notes, excluding the
9/11 atrocities, that fewer than 500 people died in the U.S. from terrorist attacks between 1970 and
2010.
Terrorism pushes our emotional buttons. And politicians and the media tend to blow the risk of terrorism out of
proportion. But as the figures above show, terrorism is a very unlikely cause of death.

The bottom line answer
is that the “war on terror” is about creating real terrorists. The US government desperately needs real terrorists
in order to justify its expansion of its wars against Muslim countries and to keep the American people sufficiently
fearful that they continue to accept thepolice
state that provides “security from terrorists,”
but not from the government that hasdiscarded civil liberties.
“Knock and announce” police raids are on the
rise. They are estimated to occur as many as 40 – 50,000 per year. Back in the 1970s, military-style police raids
used to be a rare event, occurring only a few hundred times per year.
What has happened in the last 40 years to cause the increase? Are Americans really behaving that
badly? What is the reason for the rise in the use of excessive force by police officers?
Filmmaker Charles Shaw produced a short film
titled “Release Us” to expose the harsh reality of the escalating battle between citizens and law enforcement.
Some highlights from the film:
500 innocent Americans are murdered by police every year (USDOJ). 5,000 since 9/11, equal to the
number of US soldiers lost in Iraq.
In 1994 the US Government passed a law authorizing the Pentagon to donate surplus Cold War era
military equipment to local police departments.
In the 20 years since, weaponry designed for use on a foreign battlefield, has been handed over for
use on American streets…against American citizens.
The “War on Drugs” and the “War on Terror” replaced the Cold War with billions in funding and
dozens of laws geared towards this new “war” against its own citizens.
This militarization of the police force has created what is being called an “epidemic of police
brutality” sweeping the nation.

Kelly Thomas Verdict: Cops Now Have
License to Murder
“This is carte blanche to police officers to do whatever
they want”
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
January 14, 2014
The acquittal of two Fullerton, California police officers
in the beating death of Kelly Thomas, a homeless man who was pummeled into a coma as he begged for his life,
underscores the fact that cops now have a license to murder.
Thomas, a mentally disabled homeless man, was
beaten, tasered, suffocated and pistol whipped as he lay on a street corner being sat on by no less than six police
officers during an incident in July 2011.
In what is undoubtedly one of if not the most disturbing police brutality videos ever, Thomas can
be heard pleading for his father, moaning, “Daddy, daddy, they are killing me,” as officers prolong the
assault.
According to the jury in the case, who found officer Manuel Ramos and officer Jay Cicinelli
not guilty on all
charges of murder and manslaughter, Thomas just coincidentally chose to die of an undiagnosed heart
condition in hospital five days after the beating having never regained consciousness.
Police claimed that the brutal pummeling they inflicted on Thomas, illustrated by shocking photos
of his bloodied and swollen body, was a justified response to his pathetic attempts to resist being murdered.
“These peace officers were doing their job.
They had no malice in their heart,” said John Barnett, an attorney for Ramos.
Ramos’ lack of malice was clearly evident during the encounter, when he grunts at Thomas, “You see
these fists? They’re about to f**k you up.”
Claims made by police that Thomas was resisting because he was on drugs were disproved by
toxicology reports which found no drugs in Thomas’ system.
“I’m just horrified. They got away with murdering my son,” Cathy Thomas, the victim’s mother, told
reporters.
“This is carte blanche to police officers to do whatever they want,” said Ron Thomas, the victim’s
father and a retired Sheriff’s Deputy.
The jury bought the argument made by the
prosecution that a prostrate and unarmed Thomas posed a threat to six armed police officers, which as William
Norman Grigg highlights, now means that any meager form of resistance against sustained violence metered out by
police officers is justification for murder.
“John Barnett, the police union attorney who represented the killer cops, insisted that the beating
was an appropriate response to Thomas’s pathetic, doomed struggle to save his life, writes Grigg,
adding, “The jury validated the argument that the act of resisting such criminal violence is a capital offense
worthy of summary execution.”

Scenes from Militarized America: Iowa family
'terrorized'
Authorities destroy cameras to prevent
account of raid...
When critics warn about the dangers of police militarization, this is what we're talking about. You'll see the raid
team, dressed in battle-dress uniforms, helmets and face-covering balaclava hoods take down the family's door with
a battering ram. You'll see them storm the home with ballistics shields, guns at the ready. More troubling still,
you'll see not one but two officers attempt to prevent the family from having an independent record of the raid,
one by destroying a surveillance camera, another by blocking another camera's lens.

RAID FILMED: Ankeny Police 'Traumatize' Family in Iowa
ANKENY, IOWA (WHOTV): New information regarding the story reported Monday night regarding a search warrant that was
executed at a Des Moines home, looking for about $1000 worth of items purchased with a stolen credit card. Ankeny
police spokeswoman Captain Makai Echer says officers consider several factors when deciding whether to send
officers similar to a SWAT team to a house to serve a warrant, or simply knock on the door.
In this case, Echer says, officers looked at suspect's criminal histories and whether there could be firearms in
the home. Of the three suspects that were present in the home, one has a violent arrest record for two assaults
about 13-years ago and a domestic assault.
Another suspect did have a permit to carry a weapon. Echer would not comment on whether that played a role in the
decision. She would also not comment on whether it was appropriate for a police officer to rip a security camera
from the front of the house after officers had already entered. http://whotv.com/2014/02/04/new-detai...

If officer-involved killings were prosecuted as murder, the murder rate for law enforcement officers would
exceed the general
population murder rate by at least 472%. And these are only the reported incidents. The vast
majority of police misconduct and abuse is unreported. Who knows what the actual total is.
Excerpt from compared data between Cato’s NPMSR and the
DOJ’s UCR for police homicide and sexual assault.
While we’re at it, over a quarter of a billion human beings were killed by government last
century alone, making government the leading cause of unnatural death in the 20th century. This doesn’t include
casualties from all the wars that governments started to “protect” us.
The number of Americans
in prison now exceeds the number of high school teachers and engineers. There are at least 7.3 million
Americans locked in captivity or under federal control as you read this, the majority of whom are non-violent (for
example, they were caught ingesting a plant that the government claims is “illegal”).
DOD Transferred Over $4.3B in
Military Equipment
to Local Police
August 21, 2014 - 3:57 PM
By Paul Lagarde
(CNSNews.com)
The Department of Defense transferred over
$4.3 billion worth of surplus military equipment--including 345 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles
(MRAPs), 205 grenade launchers and over 12,000 bayonets--to more than 17,000 state and local law enforcement
agencies across the nation since 1997.
The transfers were made under the 1033 program of the National Defense Authorization Act and
administered by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA),
according to a report by
the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) entitled War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American
Policing.
The DLA website does not include a comprehensive list of where surplus military equipment winds up, but a
spokesman for the agency told CNSNews.com that a database found on the Detroit Free
Press website that lists military equipment distributed since 2006 was accurate because the data had
previously been obtained from the DLA under the Freedom of Information Act.
A CNSNews.com review of the database found that some of the surplus items, such as binoculars and .45-caliber
pistols, can easily transition to a civilian police setting.
But other equipment clearly intended for military use has also been sent to local law enforcement agencies. For
example, in March, Wyoming’s Laramie County received an MRAP from the DLA. The Laramie County sheriff’s office told
CNSNews.com that there have never been any recorded instances of landmines in the rural county, which has a
population of just over 91,000.
Concerns over increased militarization of the police have prompted calls from both the left and the right for an
end to the 1033 program.
“Militarization unfairly impacts people of color and undermines individual liberties, and it has been allowed to
happen in the absence of any meaningful public discussion,” the ACLU report stated.
“Dressing police officers as soldiers is dangerous because the mindset of a soldier is entirely inappropriate
for a police officer,”
writes Tim Lynch of the Cato Institute. “Soldiers fight a military enemy; police officers deal with
citizens, who are protected by the Bill of Rights.”
“If the Pentagon hands local cops millions of dollars’ worth of hammers, it should be no surprise when suddenly
everything looks like a nail,” Lynch added.
But Crisp County, GA Sheriff Bill Hancock disagrees that the 1033 program should be scrapped, pointing out the
benefits for small local law enforcement agencies like his.
Hancock told CNSNews.com that Crisp County also received a MRAP in February through the 1033 program, but that
the sheriff’s office has removed the gun mount from the top and has not used it to date. He added that it would
only be used in a hostage or shooting situation where officers’ lives could be in danger.
“It’s a good program,” Hancock told CNSNews.com. “You take that program away and somebody my size is not going
to be able to equip all their SRT [Special Response Team] members with bulletproof vests. We’re not going to be
able to equip them with night vision equipment. We’re not going to have some small handguns that we need because
you’re gonna do away with the whole program.”
“So let’s put restrictions and guidelines on it; [but] let’s don’t just arbitrarily jump up and say, ‘Do away
with the program.’"
Homeland Security Agents Raid Home to Seize Land Rover For
Violation of EPA Regulations
Protecting America from the deadly threat posed
by vehicles which flout emission standards
by Paul Joseph Watson | July 29, 2014
In another example of how the Department of
Homeland Security has expanded far outside the purview of its original function, six vehicles full of DHS agents
were required to seize a Land Rover from a couple in Statesville, N.C. due to the fact that the vehicle allegedly
violates EPA emission standards.
As part of its mission to “protect the
Homeland,” the DHS has been busy seizing imported vehicles that don’t comply with safety and CO2 regulations.
Jennifer and Bill Brinkley were satisfied that their $60,000 dollar purchase of a Land Rover
Defender on eBay complied with regulations because it fell into the exemption category of a vehicle 25 years or
older.
However, when DHS agents turned up at the property, they compared the car’s Vehicle Identification
Number to a list and immediately seized the Land Rover. The couple were not given “a chance to debate the
issue.”
WBTV’s Steve Ohnesorge said DHS agents conducted “almost like a raid to get the car.”
“it’s just unnerving the way they did it,” said Bill Brinkley.
The feds have given the Brinkley’s 35 days to appeal the seizure but refuse to tell them where the
vehicle is located. The DHS has also failed to respond to media requests about the incident.
The Department of Homeland Security, created in the aftermath of 9/11, was tasked with the role of
protecting America from terrorists, man-made accidents and natural disasters. However, the DHS has been turned into
a national police force with a remit that extends from seizing websites for copyright infringement to confiscating
fake NFL merchandise.
As the Rutherford Institute’s John
Whitehead explained in a widely circulated article last month, the DHS is becoming America’s domestic
standing army.
“The menace of a national police force, aka a standing army, vested with so much power cannot be
overstated, nor can its danger be ignored,” wrote Whitehead, before listing numerous examples of how the DHS is
instrumental in pushing America’s decline into a militarized police state.
One such example occurred earlier this month in Greenville, North Carolina, when teams of armed DHS agents
showed up outside a courthouse building. There was no threat to the building – the purpose of the agents’ presence
was to “let people know they’re in the area,” while encouraging residents to snitch on their neighbors via the ‘See
Something, Say Something’ program.
In another
incident, the DHS conducted a military-style invasion of a small town in Illinois complete with armored
vehicles, a Black Hawk helicopter and a phalanx of heavy duty equipment and weaponry. It subsequently emerged that
the reason behind the show of force – which spooked locals – was to apprehend one man for downloading indecent
images on his computer.
Given this history, the Brinkleys should probably count themselves lucky that they didn’t have guns
pointed at their head during the seizure of the Land Rover, which the DHS apparently sees as a bigger threat to
America than the nation’s porous borders and the fact that the TSA, a subdivision of the DHS,
allows illegal aliens to board planes without identification.
Nashville Police Stockpile Weapons Of War Items include grenade launchers
by Ben Hall | NewsChannel5.com | July 20, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A massive military build-up is underway
right here in Tennessee.
Local law enforcement agencies are snatching up huge amounts of weapons -- from the Department of
Defense -- used in fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Items include grenade launchers, mine-resistant vehicles and guns that have been deemed as surplus
by the Pentagon.
The equipment is cheap or free for local law enforcement agencies to acquire.
The federal program has fueled a debate about the militarization of our police departments.
McMinn County is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It boasts beautiful
scenery, but its sheriff's department can boast something else.
The department received more military surplus guns than any other local department in the state
last year.
"We actually reconfigured the whole armory to accommodate all of this," said Sheriff Joe Guy.
Sheriff Guy oversees 31 officers and investigators, but his department received 161 army rifles and
pistols, including 71 M16 rifles and 71 .45-caliber pistols.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked, "Why does your department need all these guns?"
Sheriff Guy responded, "Well, we don't need this many. There was a little error in the order."
The Sheriff said the Army surplus program doubled his initial order, but he hasn't sent the guns
back.
"They're here as our department grows. We'll have additional firearms for future officers," Sheriff
Guy said.
McMinn County is not alone.
A spreadsheet obtained by NewsChannel 5
Investigates shows thousands of pieces of military equipment going to Tennessee law enforcement agencies.
Equipment used to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan is now going to local departments.
"The way this stuff is being distributed, it's kind of reckless," said author Radley Balko.
He has written a book, Rise of the Warrior Cop, that raises concerns about militarization of
American police departments.
"What we've seen is just a massive transfer of gear, guns, vehicles and other weaponry," Balko
said.
Law enforcement agencies can go to a website administered by the Department of Defense and look for
used equipment.
On the day we went to McMinn County, the department was looking for Humvees. Sheriff Guy reviewed
what was available.
"It looks good," Sheriff Guy said to an employee who was looking up a vehicle on-line.
The employee responded, "It's got 14-hundred miles on it."
"How many of those did you put in for?" Sheriff Guy asked.
"Three," his employee answered.
Sheriff Guy responded, "Three of those and one truck."
Departments pay a registration fee, then all the equipment is free. Individual departments must pay
for transportation and maintenance.
"The disbursement across the country is so uneven and random and sort of based on who is good at
manipulating the system," Balko said.
Thirty Tennessee departments just received mine-resistant vehicles. They were designed to protect
soldiers from road side bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lebanon Public Safety, La Vergne and Hendersonville Police Departments all received MRAPS.
"This is our newest armored protective vehicle," said Mike Justice with Lebanon Public Safety.
Justice hopes Lebanon police officers never use it.
"The situations we would use this vehicle in is hostage negotiations, putting this vehicle between
the bad guy and the good guys," Justice said.
He said the surplus program is critical to smaller departments. It provides equipment is not just
military in nature including trucks, lawn mowers and tents.
Many small departments could not afford them on their own.
"As a taxpayer, I paid for it the first time. When I paid my federal income tax, I paid for this
vehicle. So the citizens of Lebanon now get the benefit from it," Justice said standing beside the MRAP.
But Balko said the militarization of police departments comes at a price, like more SWAT raids.
"What we've done is encourage the police to become more like the military," Balko said.
"When you surround yourself with the weapons of war, with the language of war, you're going to be
much less likely to look for ways of resolving disputes using the least amount of force possible," Balko
continued.
Our investigation also found some departments can't keep up with the weapons they're getting.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported two M14s missing last year.
A TWRA park ranger had an M16 stolen from his vehicle -- it was later recovered.
And at the tiny Bean Station Police Department in East Tennessee, the police chief's son took an
M16 from the program and was arrested for impersonating a police officer.
"It's concerning that this stuff is getting lost or stolen because I think it again indicates how
little monitoring the Pentagon is doing once this stuff gets out of their reach," Balko said.
Sheriff Guy keeps his guns locked up and knows where each one is.
But for some, a department with five times more guns than patrol officers raises questions about
the military surplus program.
"There was never any sort of public debate on this, or public discourse. It all sort of happened
under the radar, and I think that's concerning," Balko said.
Late Thursday, the Department of General Services told NewsChannel 5 Investigates that it has
suspended the state coordinator of the Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO).
Elbert Baker is on administrative leave with pay. The Department of General Services stated it
discovered that it had given inaccurate and incomplete information to NewsChannel 5 Investigates.
We had asked for documentation involving missing weapons in the LESO program.
The state has alerted its auditors and is conducting a review of LESO files, records and internal
controls, a spokesperson said. The auditors have notified the comptroller's office they are investigating a
possible internal deficiency.
Finally, the Department of General Services expressed thanks to NewsChannel 5 Investigates for
bringing "to light a record-keeping deficiency of which our department was previously unaware."
10 Facts About The SWATification Of America That Everyone
Should Know SWAT team raids more than 25 times higher than in
1980
by Michael Snyder | American Dream | June 26, 2014
The number of SWAT team raids in the United States every year is now more
than 25 times higher than it was back in 1980.
As America has conducted wars overseas in recent years, our police forces have become increasingly militarized
as well. And without a doubt, many of our cities have become much more dangerous places. Thanks torelentless illegal immigration, drug cartels are thriving and there are now at least
1.4 million gang members living in the United States. But there are many that believe that the
militarization of our police forces has gone way too far. Almost weekly, SWAT team brutality somewhere in America
makes national headlines. You are about to read about a couple of horrific examples of this below. Once upon a
time, police in America were helpful and friendly and the public generally trusted them. But now our police forces
are being transformed into military-style units that often act like they are in the middle of Iraq or Afghanistan.
The following are 10 facts about the SWATification of America that everyone should know…
#1 In 1980, there were approximately 3,000 SWAT raids in the United States. Now, there are
more than 80,000 SWAT raids per year in this country.
#279 percent of the time, SWAT teams are deployed to private homes.
#350 percent of the victims of SWAT raids are either black or Latino.
#562 percent of all SWAT raids involve a search for drugs.
#6 In at least 36 percent of all SWAT raids, “no contraband of any kind” is found by the
police.
#7 In cases where it is suspected that there is a weapon in the home, police only find a
weapon 35 percent of the time.
#8 More than 100 American families have their homes raided by SWAT teamsevery single day.
#9 Only 7 percent of all SWAT deployments are for “hostage, barricade or active-shooter
scenarios”.
#10 Even small towns are getting SWAT teams now. 30 years ago, only 25.6 percent of
communities with populations between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team. Now, that number has increased to
80 percent.
And thanks to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, police forces all over the nation are being showered with
billions of dollars of military equipment that is coming home from overseas. The following is what a recent
Time Magazine articlehad to say about this phenomenon…
As the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have wound down, police departments have been obtaining military equipment,
vehicles and uniforms that have flowed directly from the Department of Defense. According to a new report by
the ACLU, the federal government has funneled $4.3 billion of military property to law enforcement agencies
since the late 1990s, including $450 million worth in 2013. Five hundred law enforcement agencies have received
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, built to withstand bomb blasts. More than 15,000 items of
military protective equipment and “battle dress uniforms,” or fatigues worn by the U.S. Army, have been
transferred. The report includes details of police agencies in towns like North Little Rock, Ark., (pop:
62,000), which has 34 automatic and semi-automatic rifles, a Mamba tactical vehicle and two MARCbots, which are
armed robots designed for use in Afghanistan.
But when you start arming the police like military units and your start training them like military units,
eventually they start acting like military units and the results are often quite frightening.
For example, just check out what happened when a SWAT team in Florida raided the home of one young couple
earlier this month…
At approximately 6:16 am on June 10th, 2014, Kari Edwards and her live-in boyfriend were seized upon by a
SWAT team who smashed in the door and using flashbangs and armed to the teeth, swarmed upon the couple and even
stripped Ms. Edwards naked in the process.
The couple says that the group entailed personnel from DHS, for whom Edwards once worked. After smashing in
the door, the tactical team threw in flashbang grenades, traumatizing their cat and swarmed upon Edwards’s
boyfriend and Edwards who had just gotten out of the shower.
“They busted in like I was a terrorist or something,” Edwards said.
“[An officer] demanded that I drop the towel I was covering my naked body with before snatching it off me
physically and throwing me to the ground.”
“While I lay naked, I was cuffed so tightly I could not feel my hands. For no reason, at gunpoint,” Edwards
said. “[Agents] refused to cover me, no matter how many times I asked.”
That is the kind of thing that I would expect to happen in Nazi Germany, not the United States of America.
But this next example is even more horrifying. The following is what one mother says happened to her 2-year-old son when a SWAT team raided her home…
After the SWAT team broke down the door, they threw a flashbang grenade inside. It landed in my son’s
crib.
Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud
and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. It’s been three weeks
since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he’s still covered in burns.
There’s still a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs. At least that’s what I’ve been told; I’m afraid to
look.
My husband’s nephew, the one they were looking for, wasn’t there. He doesn’t even live in that house. After
breaking down the door, throwing my husband to the ground, and screaming at my children, the officers – armed
with M16s – filed through the house like they were playing war. They searched for drugs and never found
any.
I heard my baby wailing and asked one of the officers to let me hold him. He screamed at me to sit down and
shut up and blocked my view, so I couldn’t see my son. I could see a singed crib. And I could see a pool of
blood. The officers yelled at me to calm down and told me my son was fine, that he’d just lost a tooth.
Does that make you angry?
It should.
That young child is probably going to be disfigured for the rest of his life because of the brutality and the
carelessness of that SWAT team.
Yes, we live in perilous times and many of our communities would rapidly descend into anarchy if there were no
police.
But that does not mean that they have to act like Nazis. They should be able to protect us while treating us
with dignity and respect at the same time.
So what do you think?
Please share your opinion by posting a comment below…
FROM the way police entered the house—helmeted and masked,
guns drawn and shields in front, knocking down the door with a battering ram and rushing inside—you might think
they were raiding a den of armed criminals. In fact they were looking for $1,000-worth of clothes and electronics
allegedly bought with a stolen credit card. They found none of these things, but arrested two people in the house
on unrelated charges.
They narrowly avoided tragedy. On hearing intruders break in, the homeowner’s son, a disabled ex-serviceman,
reached for his (legal) gun. Luckily, he heard the police announce themselves and holstered it; otherwise, “they
probably would have shot me,” he says. His mother, Sally Prince, says she is now traumatised.
Gary Mikulec, chief of the Ankeny, Iowa police force, which raided Ms Prince’s home in January, said that the
suspects arrested “were not very good people”. One had a criminal history that included three assault charges,
albeit more than a decade old, and on his arrest was found to have a knife and a meth pipe.
Police Recruitment Video Shows Cops in Military-Style
Ghillie Suits
A recruitment video for the Springdale
Police Department in Arkansas shows cops dressed in military-style ghillie suits armed with sniper rifles emerging
out of the ground.
This suit is only usually worn by hunters and soldiers in order to evade detection when targeting
prey or a dangerous enemy.
Just who is the Springdale Police Department planning on hunting? This is yet another disturbing
sign of the increasing militarization of domestic law enforcement.
The last days of colonialism taught America’s
revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally
worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the
last several decades, America’s cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been
dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been
conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other—an enemy.
Today’s armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the
1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit—which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks
of police officers. Nixon’s War on Drugs, Reagan’s War on Poverty, Clinton’s COPS program, the post–9/11 security
state under Bush and Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations expanded and empowered police forces, always at
the expense of civil liberties. And these are just four among a slew of reckless programs.
In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians’ ill-considered policies and relentless
declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop
and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality
has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free
society.
In 2007, journalist Radley Balko told a House subcommittee
that one criminologist detected a 1,500% increase in the use of SWAT teams over the last two decades. That’s
reflective of a larger trend, fueled by the wars on drugs and terror, of police forces becoming heavily
militarized.
Balko, an investigative reporter for the Huffington Post and author of the definitive
report on paramilitary policing in the United States, has a forthcoming book on the topic,Rise of the Warrior Cop: The
Militarization of America’s Police Forces. He was kind enough to answer some questions about how our
police turned into soldiers as well as the challenges of large-scale reform.
Motherboard: When did the shift towards militarized police forces begin in America? Is it as simple as
saying it began with the War on Drugs or can we detect gradual signs of change when we look back at previous
policies?
There’s certainly a lot of overlap between the war on drugs and police militarization. But if we go back to the
late 1960s and early 1970s, there were two trends developing simultaneously. The first was the development and
spread of SWAT teams. Darryl Gates started the first SWAT team in L.A. in 1969. By 1975, there were 500 of them
across the country. They were largely a reaction to riots, violent protest groups like the Black Panthers and
Symbionese Liberation Army, and a couple mass shooting incidents, like the Texas clock tower massacre in 1966.
At the same time, Nixon was declaring an “all-out war on drugs.” He was pushing policies like the no-knock raid,
dehumanizing drug users and dealers, and sending federal agents to storm private homes on raids that were really
more about headlines and photo-ops than diminishing the supply of illicit drugs.
But for the first decade or so after Gates invented them, SWAT teams were largely only used in emergency
situations. There usually needed to be an immediate, deadly threat to send the SWAT guys. It wasn’t until the early
1980s under Reagan that the two trends converged, and we started to see SWAT teams used on an almost daily basis —
mostly to serve drug warrants.
During the police clashes with Occupy protestors, there seemed to be a focus on isolated incidents of
violence, as opposed to an overall examination of how this kind of policing exacerbates situations. What
conclusions did your research lead you to on this topic?
I actually think that the Occupy protests gave the broader militarization issue more attention than it’s had in
a very long time. For 25 years, the primary “beneficiaries” of police militarization have been poor people in
high-crime areas — people who generally haven’t had the power or platform to speak up. The Occupy protesters were
largely affluent, white, and deft at using cell phones and social media to document and publicize incidents of
excessive force.
We’re also seeing interest in this issue from new quarters as SWAT teams have fallen victim to mission creep in
recent years and begun raiding poker games, bars, and even people suspected of white collar crimes. So far, the
only state that has passed any meaningful reform legislation in reaction to a SWAT raid gone wrong is Maryland,
which passed a transparency bill after the mistaken raid on
Berwyn Heights Mayor Cheye Calvo.
I suppose that may be the “it needs to get worse before it will get better” good news, here. As governments at
all levels continue to expand the list of crimes for which they’re willing to send the SWAT team, we’ll inevitably
see these tactics used against more people with more clout and stature to push for reform. It’s an unfortunate bit
of realpolitik, but it’s undoubtedly true.
Deborah Blum has
written that we refer to oleoresin capsicum as “pepper spray” because “that makes it sound so much more
benign than it really is, like something just a grade or so above what we might mix up in a home kitchen.” How did
the use of these kinds of weapons become so commonplace?
I think part of the reason is that it has happened gradually. We got here by way of a number of political
decisions and policies passed over 40 years. There was never a single law or policy that militarized our police
departments — so there was never really a public debate over whether this was a good or bad thing.
But there were other contributors. For about a generation, politicians from both parties were tripping over
themselves to see who could come up with the tougher anti-crime policies. We’re finally seeing some push-back on
issues like incarceration, the drug war, and over-criminalization. But not on police. No politician wants to look
anti-cop. Conservatives want to look tough on crime. Liberals love to throw money at police departments. So for
now, rolling back police militarization is still a non-starter in Congress and state legislatures.
It won’t be long before we see pro-militarization lobbying and pressure groups. Say hello to the
police-industrial complex.
The other problem is that political factions decry police militarization when it’s used against them, but tend
to fall somewhere between indifferent and gleeful when it’s used against people they don’t like. Conservatives,
remember, were furious over Waco, Ruby Ridge, and a host of BATF abuses against gun owners in the 1990s — and
rightly so. Liberals mocked them for it.
Liberals were furious at the aggressive response to the occupy protests — and rightly so. And conservatives
mocked them. Liberals are rightly angry about militarized immigration raids — conservatives don’t much care.
Conservatives were mad about the heavy-handed raid on the Gibson Guitar factory. Liberals blew it off. Just a few
weeks ago, Rachel Maddow resurrected the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents in a segment about gun control — and was
dismissive of people who thought the government’s actions were excessive. Of course, Maddow was also fuming about
the treatment of Occupy protesters.
Until partisans are willing to denounce excessive force when it’s used against people whose politics offend them
— or at least refrain from endorsing it — it’s hard to see how there will ever be a consensus for reform.
How did 9/11 alter the domestic relationship between the military and police?
It really just accelerated a process that had already been in motion for 20 years. The main effect of 9/11 on
domestic policing is the DHS grant program, which writes huge checks to local police departments across the country
to purchase machine guns, helicopters, tanks, and armored personnel carriers. The Pentagon had already been giving
away the same weapons and equipment for about a decade, but the DHS grants make that program look tiny.
But probably of more concern is the ancillary effect of those grants. DHS grants are lucrative enough that many
defense contractors are now turning their attention to police agencies — and some companies have sprung up solely
to sell military-grade weaponry to police agencies who get those grants. That means we’re now building a new
industry whose sole function is to militarize domestic police departments. Which means it won’t be long before we
see pro-militarization lobbying and pressure groups with lots of (taxpayer) money to spend to fight reform. That’s
a corner it will be difficult to un-turn. We’re probably there already. Say hello to the police-industrial
complex.
Is police reform a battle that will have to be won legally? From the outside looking in, much of this
seems to violate The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. Are there other ways to change these policies? Can you envision a
blueprint?
It won’t be won legally. The Supreme Court has been gutting the Fourth Amendment in the name of the drug war
since the early 1980s, and I don’t think there’s any reason to think the current Court will change any of that. The
Posse Comitatus Act is often misunderstood. Technically, it only prohibits federal marshals (and, arguably, local
sheriffs and police chiefs) from enlisting active-duty soldiers for domestic law enforcement. The president or
Congress could still pass a law or executive order tomorrow ordering U.S. troops to, say, begin enforcing the drug
laws, and it wouldn’t violate the Constitution or the Posse Comitatus Act. The only barrier would be selling the
idea to the public.
That said, I think the current state of police militarization probably violates the spirit of the
Posse Comitatus Act, and probably more pertinent, the spirit and sentiment behind the Third Amendment. (Yes — the
one no one ever talks about.) When the country was founded, there were no organized police departments, and
wouldn’t be for another 50 to60 years. Public order was maintained through private means, in worst cases by calling
up the militia.
The Founders were quite wary of standing armies and the threat they pose to liberty. They ultimately concluded —
reluctantly — that the country needed an army for national defense. But they most feared the idea of troops
patrolling city streets — a fear colored by much of human history, and more immediately by the the antagonism
between British troops and residents of Boston in the years leading up to the American Revolution. The Founders
could never have envisioned police as they exist today. And I think it’s safe to say they’d have been absolutely
appalled at the idea of a team of police, dressed and armed like soldiers, breaking into private homes in the
middle of the night for the purpose of preventing the use of mind-altering drugs.
The Founders would have been appalled at the idea of a team of police, dressed and armed like
soldiers, breaking into private homes in the middle of the night.
As for change, the good news is that I think the public is finally waking up to this problem. Anecdotally, I’ve
noticed more skepticism, for example, in the comment sections to stories about SWAT raids. I’ve also noticed more
skepticism in much of the media coverage of these raids. And again, I think the fact that these tactics are now
being used against people who have the means and status to speak out is drawing new attention to police
militarization, and causing more people to question the wisdom of all of this. But again, there are some major
political hurdles in the way of reform.
The gear and weapons and tanks are a problem. But I think a much deeper problem is the effect all of this war
talk and battle rhetoric has had on policing as a profession. In much of the country today, police officers are
psychologically isolated from the communities they serve. It’s all about us vs. them. There are lots of reasons for
that, which I describe in the book but are too involved to get into here. But it’s really destructive.
I make a number of specific suggestions in the book about how to change that mindset — most of which came from
interviews with long-time cops and former police chiefs. But generally speaking, cops should be a part of the
communities in which they work. They should walk beats. They should know the names of the school principals, 7-11
managers, and Boys and Girls Club and community center staffers. When your only interaction with the community is
antagonistic — responding to calls, conducting stop & frisks, questioning people — your relationship with the
community will be antagonistic. Cops are public servants. Their job is to keep the peace while protecting and
observing our constitutional rights. Somewhere in the process constantly declaring war on things, we’ve lost sight
of that.
For 30 years, politicians and public officials have been arming, training, and dressing cops as if they’re
fighting a war. They’ve been dehumanizing drug offenders and criminal suspects as the enemy. And of course they’ve
explicitly and repeatedly told them they’re fighting a war. It shouldn’t be all that surprising that a lot of cops
have started to believe it.
Description
How Orwell's nightmare is becoming our reality.
In five years, we will really start to wonder
what happened to America. In 10 years, our kids won't know the America of our youth. And in 25 years, we won't
recognize America at all.
The Constitution will be a relic, tossed on the same trash heap as the Bible. The notion of
God-given rights will be replaced by government control, and privacy rights will have crumbled along with Fourth
Amendment guarantees that protect us from warrantless searches of home, possessions and self.
Police State USA by Cheryl K. Chumley chronicles how America has arrived at the point of being a de
facto police state. It explains what led to an out-of-control government that increasingly ignores the Constitution
and exploits 9/11 security fears to justify spying on its citizens. Stunning new surveillance technology now makes
it easier to keep tabs on people. The acquisition by police departments of major battlefield equipment emboldens
officials to strong-arm those they should be protecting. This combined with the failure of the news media to report
government violations of citizens’ rights sets the stage for a very slippery slope.
Our arrival at this brave new world has been surprisingly quick. Most of the ideological changes
have occurred in the past few decades, and the overreach of the NSA, the strong-arm tactics of the IRS and the
militarization of the police already dominate the news.
Award-winning journalist and Washington Times writer Cheryl K. Chumley documents a problem weighing
heavily on the hearts and minds of Americans. Within Police State USA she explores:
How radical environmentalism has eroded property rights.
How the Patriot Act has intruded on personal privacy.
The extended reach of American intelligence in the name of security.
The militarization of local police forces.
How the national media misrepresents the policies of security.
Plus much, much more.
Police State USA explains how America is standing on the cusp of a police state, outlines clear,
common-sense solutions to the erosion of our freedoms and explains how we might reverse it. And the good news is:
It’s not too late to do that.
EVERYONE IS A
TERRORIST Conspiracy Theorists Are
Domestic Terrorists!
The term "conspiracy theory" was weaponized by the CIA half a century ago. At first it was merely
used to marginalize those who question government narratives. But now that weapon is being loaded and pointed at
our heads. Can a "conspiracy theorist" false flag be far behind? James examines the new FBI document on conspiracy
theorists
as domestic terrorists in this important edition of #PropagandaWatch.
It’s no longer Al-Qaeda, it’s
now supposedly your friends and neighbors. This is the prevailing
meme of every tyrannical fascist regime in history.

In 1991, the Club published The First
Global Revolution. It analyses the problems ofhumanity, calling these collectively or in essence
the 'problematique'. It notes (laments) that, historically, social or political unity has commonly
been motivated by enemies in common: "The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor.
Some states have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by blaming
external enemies. The ploy of finding a scapegoat is as old as mankind itself - when things become
too difficult at home, divert attention to adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to
face an outside enemy, either a real one, or else one invented for the purpose. With the
disappearance of the traditional enemy, the temptation is to use religious or ethnic minorities as
scapegoats, especially those whose differences from the majority are disturbing." "Every state has
been so used to classifying its neighbours as friend or foe, that the sudden absence of traditional
adversaries has left governments and public opinion with a great void to fill. New enemies have to
be identified, new strategies imagined, and new weapons devised."
