The ‘Progressive’ Glossary

I’ve recently been made aware of a strange new tribe who refer to themselves collectively—they do everything collectively—as “progressives.” I think they used to call themselves “liberals” until it became clear that they don’t care much for liberty. Males and females in this tribe both tend to wear beards and gather in urban coastal areas, where they pay too much for apartments, water, coffee, and bean sprouts. They speak a strange and exotic tongue unfamiliar to my ears. But they repeat certain terms so frequently, I feel as if I’ve begun to get a handle on what they’re driving at. To the best of my ability, I will try to decipher what these buzzwords mean. http://takimag.com/article/the_progressive_glossary_jim_goad/print#axzz2Ts1bOdRn

No Bear Market in Gold

You know that gold bear market that the financial press keeps touting? The one George Soros keeps proclaiming? Well, it is not there. The gold bear market is disinformation that is helping elites acquire the gold. Certainly, Soros himself doesn’t believe it, as the 13-F release issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15 proves. George Soros has significantly increased his gold holding by purchasing $25.2 million of call options on the GDXJ Junior Gold Miners Index. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/05/20/no-bear-market-in-gold-paul-craig-roberts/

Syria Ready to Unleash Missiles on Israel

Syria has put its most advanced missiles on standby with orders to hit Tel Aviv if Israel launches another raid on its territory. Reconnaissance satellites have been monitoring preparations by the Syrian army to deploy surface-to-surface Tishreen missiles. An Israeli official told The New York Times that Israel, which has launched three recent attacks on Syria, was considering further strikes and warned President Bashar al-Assad that his government would face “crippling consequences” if he hit back at Israel. The deployment of the Syrian-made Tishreen missiles, each of which can carry a half-ton payload, marks a significant escalation of tension in a region in which the United States and Russia appear to be preparing for a Cold War-style stand-off. In a signal of its continued support for Assad, Russia last week sent a dozen warships to patrol the eastern Mediterranean close to its Syrian naval base in Tartus, its only naval outpost outside the former Soviet Union. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article35005.htm#.UZoi-Anbfgk.email

Wrong Color in the Wrong Place

No one has been charged with a hate crime. Police have not identified the victim or his family. So no one has had a chance to ask if he was aware he was in a black neighborhood. Or if he ever heard of Routine Activities Theory. Otherwise known as R.A.T. R.A.T. played a central role last year in a Chicago court room where the city had to pay a white woman $22.5 million after she was arrested, then released into a black neighborhood in Chicago. She was assaulted and tossed – or jumped – from a seven-story building, leaving her with permanent brain damage. Harvard sociology professor Robert Sampson, one of the country’s top experts on R.A.T., testified the R.A.T. made it clear that a white person in a black neighborhood can reasonably expect to meet with violence. http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/wrong-color-in-the-wrong-place/#2QkliRtszHoP6Ssv.03

Cell Towers Are Not What We Are Told

Upon arriving in Mexico City, I noticed that there was what appeared to be a complete lack of cell towers. Yet perfect cell service was everywhere. And that got me wondering, how could a cell phone system work so well with no cell towers around? After stating it on the forum, Bunk Hound got on the American Tower web site and located a few, which I subsequently went to with Google maps, and they were very much like American cell towers. But aside from these which I could locate with a map, there were none to be found and instead there were many tiny cell antennas attached to buildings and roof tops. Mexico now appears to be transitioning to the larger cell towers, and I beg to question WHY, if the small antennaes worked so well. http://therebel.org/stone/643125-cell-towers-are-not-what-we-are-told?acm=537_160

Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the FBI

The United States has been narrowly saved from lethal terrorist plots in recent years — or so it has seemed. A would-be suicide bomber was intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues and shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes into the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts. But all these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-helped-along-by-the-fbi.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Washington Signals Deep Concerns Over Dollar

A perfect storm has been prepared for America. Real interest rates are negative, but debt and money are being created hand over foot. The dollar’s demise awaits the world’s decision how to get out of it. The Federal Reserve can print dollars with which to keep the bond and stock markets high, but the Federal Reserve cannot print foreign currencies with which to keep the dollar afloat. When the dollar goes, Washington’s power goes, which is why the bullion market is rigged. Protect the power. That is the agenda. Is it another Washington over-reach? http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/05/18/washington-signals-dollar-deep-concerns-paul-craig-roberts/

Let’s Not Let Boys Be Boys

This is what’s so wonderful about the war on boys. Teachers (who are roughly 75% female) have bolstered girls’ grades in England by including bad behavior in test scores. Where Sally may fail at math, Johnny gets an F in “sitting still,” and the bell curve evens out. When I was a kid, bad behavior was rewarded with a trip to the principal. Worse behavior got a suspension. Really, really bad behavior got a visit from the police, who scared the crap out of you. Today, we call the police for all infractions and everything is written down. This is effective because the government can keep tabs on who is a bad boy and ensure he is monitored for life. If we had this kind of system back when most school shooters were young, we never would have had school shootings. http://takimag.com/article/lets_not_let_boys_be_boys_gavin_mcinnes/print#axzz2TfxqI6kn

JFK-RFK-MLK??? The Questions Remain

The half-century mark since the assassination of John F Kennedy was supposed to be some kind of event. Lots of books were in the offing. Broadcasters were primed. We were going to get some really huge revelations, some kind of major step forward in coming to terms with this event that has so affected America and so divided its population. And guess what? Eh. Basically, eh. Nothing so amazing (to be really generous), and, sorry to say, hardly anyone is paying real attention. Hollywood and the media have produced and are producing a body of work that by and large perpetuates the official story of 1963 or threatens to further muddy the waters, while ignoring the massive amount of research—and general consensus by most researchers, the public and a congressional committee—that there’s far more to the story. http://whowhatwhy.com/2013/05/09/jfk-rfk-mlk-the-questions-remain/

Thus Sprach Hashimoto

Toru Hashimoto

In the wake of the Jason Richwine Affair, the latest in a long line of similar incidents in which politicians, academics, and journalists have been made examples of for straight talking, it is important to consider the importance of free speech to any healthy society. Living in Japan gives me an interesting point of comparison, because, in this country, there is still plenty of room for straight talking, even if the talking sometimes goes straight to some odd places. While the multicultural West has slid increasingly into a pit of self-censorship, mystification, fuzziness, and coded language in its public discourse, Japan practices what the West can only preach now: actual free speech. Almost at the same moment that America was getting its knickers in a twist over some innocuous, common sense statements from Jason Richwine about Hispanics being likely to remain where they are on the multi-kulty totempole that is America, here in Japan we were being treated to a nationally prominent politician saying the kind of things that would have you instantly tarred, feathered, lynched, and damned in the West. http://alternativeright.com/blog/2013/5/15/thus-sprach-hashimoto

Civil Liberties, RIP

The Tea Partiers’ problem is that their protests come far too late – because the legal and political precedents targeting dissident groups were established long ago, with the full complicity and even enthusiastic support of most of those who call themselves “conservatives” these days. The “Patriot” Act – passed with conservative support – gives the government the “right” to not only spy on such groups, it also gives them the means to spy on anyone, for any reason, as well as the prosecutorial “tools” to put them away forever. Law enforcement agencies have set up “fusion centers” in order to collect information on American citizens who might be considered a “threat.” A recent report on “right-wing extremism” issued by the Department of Homeland Security” listed groups local law enforcement should keep tabs on, including members of the Libertarian and Constitution parties, as well as Ron Paul supporters. Efforts by the FBI and local police to infiltrate and set up members of the “Occupy” movement have been widespread. http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2013/05/16/our-civil-liberties-rip/

Palm Beach Authorities: Snitch Program Will Not Target Government Critics

Ric Bradshaw

In the aftermath of a massive public backlash, Nick Iarossi, a lobbyist for the sheriff’s office, told the Florida Sun-Sentinel that the intention of the program had been “widely misinterpreted.” If your neighbor has “an arsenal of weapons and has made anti-governmental comments but has not made threats,” this person would be left alone, said Iarossi. This hasn’t convinced critics of the program on both the left and right, who continue to denounce the very notion of neighbors reporting on each other as un-American, including former Soviet Union resident Dmitry Levin, who remarked, “It’s a specific telephone line to report your neighbor who doesn’t like the government. “When I read that, my jaw dropped. That’s KGB in its finest form. The next step would be, what, bonuses for reporting?” http://www.infowars.com/palm-beach-authorities-snitch-program-will-not-target-government-critics/

Christeros — Armed Resistance to Judeo-Masonic Tyranny

Was the murder of priests and destruction of churches confined to Judeo Masonic (Bolshevik) Russia? No. In the 1920′s, hundreds of priests were tortured and murdered in Mexico when the Freemason President Plutarco Elias Calles ordered the suppression of the Catholic Church. “For Greater Glory” a superb film released last year, now available on Netflix, documents the Cristeros uprising where thousands of Christians took up arms against the Government of Mexico and forced it to compromise. The rebellion, from 1926-1929, claimed 57,000 government soldiers and 30,000 Cristeros “insurgents” plus civilians. Never heard of this rebellion? Neither have Mexicans. Freemasons, who espouse freedom and tolerance (for their own evil), don’t want you to know about armed resistance to their tyranny. http://henrymakow.com/2013/05/Armed%20Resistance-to-Judeo-Masonic-Tyranny%20.html

What the Heck Happened in Boston?

Most of the national and international media have left Boston—and essentially moved on from the Marathon bombing story. But at WhoWhatWhy, we’re just getting started. Why? Because we see a lot of problems with what we’ve been told so far. We’ve been disappointed that the media have failed to demonstrate healthy skepticism while passing along, unchallenged, the (self-serving) assertions of “the authorities.” It is the job of journalism not only to report what authorities say, but also to confirm their claims, and address anomalies, errors, inconsistencies, outright lies, and cover-ups, large and small. http://whowhatwhy.com/2013/05/14/who-in-boston-bombing-story-mysteries/

Boston Becomes Toxic

The fallout from Boston has been more of the same lashing out that we saw post 9/11. People like Ron Paul who decry the breakdown in the constitution and rule of law are lambasted for being out of touch and “going too far” while the “liberal” Obama Administration prepares to give the FBI sweeping new powers. Unfortunately power is a zero sum game. If you take away rights and liberties they are not safe somewhere waiting to be restored, they are gone forever and have been transferred to someone else. If we establish the principle that any criminal act inflicting multiple casualties can be defined as terrorism and be treated by the imposition of martial law we will quickly lose constitutionally guaranteed access to some aspects of civilian rule of law. If we decide that no conversation or message, even if it originates in one’s home, is truly private then we will have lost a large measure of our personal liberty. And it can even get worse. There is speculation that the Obama Administration will use the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as a model for another secret federal court that can decide on the use of drones to assassinate American citizens. As FISC rules 100% in favor of the government, we can only expect rubberstamp kill lists as part of our future. http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2013/05/15/boston-becomes-toxic/#.UZTnpKJXYh0.email

Storm Clouds Gathering

This past week, we learned that the IRS has targeted for additional scrutiny the tax exemption applications of groups with whose messages it disagrees. We also learned that the Department of Justice obtained the personal telephone records of hundreds of reporters and editors employed by the Associated Press without a search warrant issued by a judge. And during this past week we learned that the White House, the Department of State and the CIA all engaged in a conspiracy of disinformation so that the official version of events of what caused the murders of four Americans at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, would not impair Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012. The common threads in all of this government secrecy and lying are a general rejection of government’s moral obligation to tell the truth, a disturbing yet brazen willingness to evade and avoid the restrictions the Constitution has deliberately built around government, and a glib admission that the government can do as it pleases so long as it can politically get away with it. http://original.antiwar.com/andrew-p-napolitano/2013/05/15/storm-clouds-gathering/#.UZTqBGuG6k4.email

The Biggest Peaceful Coup in World History

According to a Pew survey the middle class net worth dropped 28 percent in the decade following 2001 while the upper one percent edged higher. They attributed this distinction to plummeting home values that impacted the middle class while wealthier people held broader based assets. While inflation has torn away at the value of the dollar middle class family income has declined by about 4 percent in the new century. From 1970 into the new century the percentage of total income enjoyed by the wealthy has risen from 29 percent to 46 percent while the middle class share has declined from 62 percent to 45 percent. Read the results of the survey here. In this new world created over the heads of the American people the United States will bear no resemblance to the proud, affluent and powerful nation that emerged victorious after WWII. The objective is to flatten out the nations of the world making them more homogeneous and easier to govern. United States wealth is long gone replaced by trillions of dollars of debt that will enslave its citizens for generations. http://etherzone.com/2013/cron041513.shtml

Family Attacked for Being in ‘Wrong Neighborhood’

Stubbs said a man wearing a pink shirt was in line trying to pay for gas when Donald Dickerson, 41, started making fun of him, leading to an argument. “The defendant (Dickerson) approached the white male victim,” the police report stated. It went on to read, “the defendant told him he was in the wrong neighborhood and he was not going to make it out.” The victim said that’s when he “was punched and knocked to the ground.” At this time, his wife got out of the car and ran to help her husband. The victim said, “he continued to struggle with the defendant and was eventually knocked unconscious, which later he awoke in the hospital.” His wife told police, “after running to help her husband, she remembers falling to the ground and (being) knocked unconscious.” http://www.amren.com/news/2013/05/police-family-attacked-for-being-in-wrong-neighborhood/#.UZOAaJyJW_w.email

The Real Benghazi Scandal

When U.S. personnel were airlifted from Benghazi the night of the attack, there were seven Foreign Service and State Department officers and 23 CIA officers onboard. This fact alone indicates that the consulate was primarily diplomatic cover for an intelligence operation that was known to Libyan militia groups. The CIA failed to provide adequate security for Benghazi, and its clumsy tradecraft contributed to the tragic failure. On the night of the attack, the small CIA security team in Benghazi was slow to respond, relying on an untested Libyan intelligence organization to maintain security for U.S. personnel. After the attack, the long delay in debriefing evacuated personnel contributed to the confusing assessments. http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/05/15/the-real-benghazi-scandal/

Is It Okay to Kill?

Is it okay to kill? I don’t mean a bug in your house, a snake in your garage, or a deer in the woods. Deer tastes good; you may not know if that snake in your garage is poisonous; and bugs are home invaders. I mean is it okay to kill a man, a human being, a person? Again, I don’t mean someone trying to kill you, rob your business, rape your wife, harm your children, or break into your house. Killing someone might be perfectly justified in those circumstances if it involves defense against aggression. Specifically, is it okay to kill someone who has not threatened or committed violence or aggression against you, your family, your friends, your neighborhood, anyone you know, or any American you don’t know? No? Then – What if he is not an American? What if he lives thousands of miles away from America? What if he adheres to a religion that is different from that of most Americans? What if he is a darker color than most Americans? What if he speaks a language that most Americans don’t understand? What if he has habits that seem peculiar to most Americans? What if he holds to a political ideology that doesn’t resemble America’s? What if he smells different than most Americans? http://lewrockwell.com/vance/vance334.html#.UZOEVssifPo.email

What if Television News Disappeared and We Invented Ourselves?

Every psyop since the dawn of time is based on, and works because of, the individual’s refusal to create his own reality. This refusal is, in turn, the cornerstone of highly organized, layered, hierarchical, top-down societies. These societies generate majestic deceptions, enemies, wars, and huge disparities between the haves and the have-nots. History reveals many elements of progress, but it doesn’t show a solution to these chronic injustices. To put it another way, the solutions will not appear, in the long run, until millions of people do, in fact, create their own realities. And that capacity to create requires a revolution at the deepest possible level. http://lewrockwell.com/rappoport/rappoport28.1.html

All the while, the world around us is no safer than when we started on this journey more than a decade ago.

He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation at the JFK School of Government. http://takimag.com/article/the_heretic_at_heritage_patrick_buchanan/print#axzz2TIVUdv23

Obama Dealing With Three Major Scandals

Speaking for England

Nigel Farage

Last week, county council elections in England produced a wave of support for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), a right-wing, anti-EU, populist political party led by Nigel Farage, a former stockbroker and member of the European Parliament since 1999, who when pictured by the liberal media on the campaign trail is invariably depicted holding a pint of beer and smoking a cigarette! This everyman boozy image seems to have done his party no harm at all, despite a last minute media witch hunt against his party’s candidates in the week before polling day. In total UKIP made 139 council seat gains almost totally at the expense of David Cameron’s (non) Conservative Party whilst campaigning almost exclusively on an anti-immigration ticket. http://alternativeright.com/blog/2013/5/7/speaking-for-england

The Bitter Taste of Richwine

Spring is in the air, which means that it’s time for another insane moral panic regarding the Great Egalitarian Unmentionable: The idea that true diversity of the cognitive kind exists between human ethnic groups. The latest polite-‘n’-erudite researcher to be guillotined by the naïve-yet-bloodthirsty egalitotalitarian headhunters is Jason Richwine, a Harvard graduate and, until last Friday, a policy wonk for the Heritage Foundation. http://takimag.com/article/the_bitter_taste_of_richwine_jim_goad/print#axzz2TCncDPG1

Land of the Free Watch: CNN Calls for Real-Time Police State Surveillance

The establishment media is calling for the implementation of Big Brother technology following the Boston bombing last month. In order to prevent terrorist attacks, CNN argues, there must be real-time surveillance cameras planted everywhere. Panopticon technology is required if we are to expect government to protect us from terrorists and other miscreants, the corporate media network says. http://www.infowars.com/cnn-calls-for-real-time-police-state-surveillance/

Committing Treason and the Benghazi Murder Cover-Up

Take off your partisan hat and open your minds to the actual uninterrupted high treason that is part of the foreign policy establishment. Party politics is often just a show that plays to their respective bases. However, the tract and direction of extending the transnational empire just continues on a global scale. The full-blown treason committed by every administration that practices the internationalist vision of democracy domination is really a masquerade for worldwide dominion. Presidents are mere temporary talking heads for the oligarchy that actually rules. Murdering their own diplomats and hired help is incidental, when 1,455,590 Iraqi deaths since the U.S. invasion are ignored and dismissed. http://batr.org/reactionary/051213.html

VA Whistleblower Ignites Firestorm Over Vets’ Illnesses

It’s not every day that a scientist creates such intense drama on Capitol Hill. But Dr. Steven S. Coughlin’s charges that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) officials hid, manipulated, and even lied about research pertaining to Gulf War Illness (GWI) and health problems plaguing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are still causing fallout a month after his stunning testimony before a key House subcommittee. “The implications of his testimony are profound,” declared Anthony Hardie, 45, a Gulf War veteran who serves on the congressionally appointed Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses (RAC). Veterans and their advocates, as well as many in the scientific community, have long believed that the VA avoids responsibility for veterans’ care by downplaying or outright ignoring evidence linking wartime experiences—such as exposure to Agent Orange, chemical weapons, or toxic pollution—to veterans’ chronic medical issues back home. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/va-whistleblower-ignites-firestorm-over-vets-illnesses/

Israel, Iran, and the Nuclear Freight Train

In those first minutes, they’ll be stunned. Eyes fixed in a thousand-yard stare, nerve endings numbed. They’ll just stand there. Soon, you’ll notice that they are holding their arms out at a 45-degree angle. Your eyes will be drawn to their hands and you’ll think you mind is playing tricks. But it won’t be. Their fingers will start to resemble stalactites, seeming to melt toward the ground. And it won’t be long until the screaming begins. Shrieking. Moaning. Tens of thousands of victims at once. They’ll be standing amid a sea of shattered concrete and glass, a wasteland punctuated by the shells of buildings, orphaned walls, stairways leading nowhere. This could be Tehran, or what’s left of it, just after an Israeli nuclear strike. Iranian cities — owing to geography, climate, building construction, and population densities — are particularly vulnerable to nuclear attack, according to a new study, “Nuclear War Between Israel and Iran: Lethality Beyond the Pale,” published in the journal Conflict & Health by researchers from the University of Georgia and Harvard University. It is the first publicly released scientific assessment of what a nuclear attack in the Middle East might actually mean for people in the region. http://original.antiwar.com/engelhardt/2013/05/12/israel-iran-and-the-nuclear-freight-train/#.UZDi0Lh3kEA.email

The Cowardice of ‘Conservatives’

Jason Richwine

In yet another act of cowardice, a “conservative” institution has fired someone from saying something that is not only true, but that everyone knows to be true. This time the Heritage Foundation joined the ranks of the lickspittles by forcing out a senior researcher, Jason Richwine. Mr. Richwine, who co-authored the Heritage’s recently released report on the costs of amnesty, had written his Harvard PhD thesis on the implications of racial differences in IQ for immigration policy—and racial differences in IQ have such obvious policy implications that a “think tank” dare not think about them. There is no need to repeat the things that have been said by Mr. Richwine’s attackers. They are just as gloatingly idiotic as you would imagine. It is far more important to point out that Mr. Richwine had important defenders—but Heritage still folded. And what makes its behavior particularly revolting is that the people who run it knew about Mr. Richwine’s dissertation ever since they hired him two years ago. It is hard to imagine more craven behavior. http://www.amren.com/news/2013/05/craven-conservatives/#.UZDjmWe-il4.email

Former Nixon Aide: LBJ Arranged Assassination of JFK

A renowned Republican strategist and lobbyist has claimed that former president Lyndon B. Johnson set up John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which occurred on November 22, 1963. Roger Stone, 61, makes the claim in his upcoming book ‘The Man who killed Kennedy – the case against LBJ,’ which is set to be published in October. He also writes that Richard Nixon and Johnson had a documented relationship with Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald’s killer, years before he shot Oswald in the basement of Dallas police headquarters in 1963, reports The Daily Caller. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2322981/Former-Nixon-aide-claims-evidence-Lyndon-B-Johnson-arranged-John-F-Kennedys-assassination-new-book.html

Syria Not Worth a Crisis With Russia

According to reports, Israel did not give the U.S. prior warning of its air strikes against Syria. Here in Washington, many security officials are now wondering if Israel might drag the U.S. into a war with Iran in a similar fashion. What is clear: Syria is being ground up and pulverized. Like Iraq, it is being severely punished for a defiant, independent policy and refusing to comply with western plans for the Mideast. Syria is also serving as a whipping boy in the place of Iran – a graphic message to Tehran of what can happen if its nuclear program is not switched off. http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis340.html

The Judeo-Russian Mafia and the Bloodbath to Come

The Russian mafia, known also as the Red Mafiya or the “Red Octopus,” is really the Jewish mafia in disguise. It has secret links to Mossad, the Rothschild family, the Federal Reserve Bank, and to powerful Jewish organizations such as AIPAC and the ADL. The activities of the Russian mafia range from the back streets of Moscow to the sex dens of Budapest and Tel Aviv, from the diamond mines of Sierra Leone to the jewelry workshops of Antwerp, from the plush casinos of Vegas and Atlantic City to the multimillion dollar gated mansions of Fisher Island, Miami, from the coke and heroin dives of Odessa and the Black Sea ports to the child porn parlors and underground brothels of Oregon. In the United States, the Russian mafia’s ground zero is Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, right slapbang in the center of America’s most Jewish community. http://www.darkmoon.me/2013/the-judeo-russian-mafia-and-the-bloodbath-to-come-by-dr-lasha-darkmoon/

Sloppiness in School, Sloppiness at Work

I blame the schools and their mandatory self-esteem curriculum, which instills an ego-inflated, me-first attitude. Students learn that rules and standards are irrelevant, dress codes are to be broken, arriving late is normal, it’s OK to be insolent to adults, and that respect is a “right” that need not be earned. As the parole officer stationed at our school two days a week explains, “They expect $15.00-an-hour jobs for $1.98 skills.” http://www.amren.com/features/2013/05/sloppiness-in-school-sloppiness-at-work/#.UY593cke1vE.email

Boycott Israel?

We live in an interconnected world: to actually boycott all Israeli products, or those with significant Israeli components, is well nigh impossible – not to mention unjust. A blanket boycott of all things Israeli fails to make an elementary and crucial distinction between the Israeli government – which is pursuing policies decent people must condemn – and Israelis as individuals, who may or may not agree with the policies of their government. The same argument against slapping sanctions on Iran also applies to Israel: sanctions only hurt the innocent. The political class – the people responsible for making policy – suffers not at all, nor do sanctions give the Iranian rulers any incentive to change their behavior in the direction we would like to see. Indeed, punitive measures only serve to reinforce a bunker mentality that strengthens the regime’s hold on the populace, providing hard-liners with a convenient rationale for their policies: they tell their people “The whole world’s against us.” The narrative of global persecution is essential to the ultra-Zionist mindset that now dominates Israeli politics, and indeed was the original justification for the Zionist movement in the first place. http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2013/05/09/boycott-israel/#.UY6AgY49FJg.email

Dictatorship Watch: America’s Roads Have Been Turned Into a Revenue Generating Surveillance Grid

Back in the old days, the highways of America were great examples to the rest of the world of the tremendous liberties and freedoms that we enjoyed. Americans loved to hop into their vehicles and take a drive. But now government is sucking all of the fun out of driving. The control freak bureaucrats that dominate our political system have figured out that giant piles of money can be raised by turning our roads into revenue raising tools.

How Elites and Media Minimize Dissent and Bury Truth

Unz covers a number of cases of criminality, treason, and coverups at high levels of government and points out that “these dramatic, well-documented accounts have been ignored by our national media.” One reason for “this wall of uninterest” is that both parties are complicit and thus equally eager to bury the facts. Unz is raising the question of the efficacy of democracy. Does the way democracy works in America provide any more self-rule than in undemocratic regimes? He offers this example: “Most of the Americans who elected Barack Obama in 2008 intended their vote as a total repudiation of the policies and personnel of the preceding George W. Bush administration. Yet once in office, Obama’s crucial selections—Robert Gates at Defense, Timothy Geither at Treasury, and Ben Bernake at the Federal Reserve—were all top Bush officials, and they seamlessly continued the unpopular financial bailouts and foreign wars begun by his predecessor, producing what amounted to a third Bush term.” http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/05/10/how-elites-and-media-minimize-dissent-and-bury-truth-paul-craig-roberts/

The Three Party System: Left, Right and Reality

There’s a reason that the mainstream media is continually losing viewers and readers to alternative news publications and aggregators like never before, and it comes down to the newly emerging ‘third party’ of reality. Of course this third party is so far away from the entire charade of left vs. right distraction-based debate that it really isn’t even within the confides of the part system, however it’s a suiting title for the mass number of individuals who find themselves going beyond Democrats and Republicans and into the search for truth. People are discovering that it doesn’t matter if the current President identifies with blue or red, but instead what actions are taken to combat corruption and restore liberty. And now they’re looking beyond the blue and red, only to discover that the ‘bipartisan’ issues swept under the rug are in fact the reason this nation is being destroyed. http://www.storyleak.com/three-party-system-left-right-reality/

Israeli Prescience of 9-11 and the War on Terror

On 9-11, Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, called for “an operational, concrete war against terror” on BBC World television – before the towers even fell. On the day of the attacks, James Bennet of the New York Times asked Benjamin Netanyahu what the terror atrocity meant for relations between the United States and Israel. Netanyahu replied, “It’s very good… Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.” To understand the Israeli reaction to 9-11 we need to view the terror spectacle as an essential part of a pre-planned Zionist construct known as the “war on terror.” Netanyahu’s odd remark makes sense when we consider that 9-11 is the keystone of a strategy that Netanyahu has been pushing since 1979. http://therebel.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=638984:israeli-prescience-of-9-11-and-the-war-on-terror&catid=139:bollyn&Itemid=1310&acm=537_75

There is a Conspiracy

The title of today’s column, “There Is A Conspiracy,” is a direct quote from Ezekiel 22:25. In this passage, God instructed Ezekiel to blow the whistle on the conspiracy of Israel’s prophets to deny people truth, to devour people’s souls, to defraud people’s substance, and to destroy people’s lives. I dare say this conspiracy is still alive and well today. Many pastors and religious leaders in 2013 America are as guilty of Ezekiel’s charges as were Israel’s ancient prophets. However, use the word “conspiracy” today and even most Christians will roll their eyes in disbelief. And, of course, the mainstream media is so paranoid of the word conspiracy that one has to speculate that the reason for this aversion to objectively dealing with the subject is simply due to the fact that they are among the co-conspirators. http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/5627

Requiem for the GOP

Eighteen states, including four of the seven mega-states – California, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania – have gone Democratic in six straight elections. Two others, Florida and Ohio, have gone Democratic twice in a row. And white folks are now a minority in the last mega-state, Texas. In Ohio, which produced seven Republican presidents, more than any other state, Republicans are dropping out, and may be dying out. “Eight years ago, blacks and whites voted at about the same rate (in Ohio),” write Balz and Mellnik. In 2008, “the participation rate for whites dropped to 65 percent, while the rate for blacks rose to 70 percent. Last November, the turnout rate among whites fell to 62 percent, while the rate for blacks ticked up to 72 percent.” From these Census figures, white folks are losing interest in politics and voting. Yet, whites still constitute three-fourths of the electorate and nine in 10 Republican votes. http://lewrockwell.com/buchanan/buchanan310.html#.UYz3ssK6H4Q.email

Orania: The Remote Town in South Africa Where Afrikaners Dream of Building Their Own State

‘Welkom in Orania’ proclaims a mural, painted in white, blue and orange. But this South African town, in the remote Northern Cape province, does not extend its welcome to everyone. The colour scheme on the wall – accompanied by the community emblem of a boy pulling up his sleeves – harks back to the old apartheid flag. Orania, one of the last outposts of racial segregation, is a whites-only enclave. Around 1,000 people live in the rural community, established in 1991 during the last years of apartheid. Built on 8,000 hectares of private farmland along the Orange River in the desolate region of Karoo, it has schools, a museum and even its own currency, the Ora. All the residents are Afrikaners – descendants of white migrants of Dutch and German heritage – who make up about 7 per cent of South Africa’s population. http://www.amren.com/news/2013/05/orania-the-remote-town-in-south-africa-where-afrikaners-dream-of-building-their-own-state/#.UYz2re2w9wU.email

Gatekeeping for Zion

Americans can either confront the ugly realities of what has been going on for the past twelve years or they can pretend that what they are seeing is not really there. The gatekeepers are understandably concerned lest Washington’s next war be blamed on American Jews so it is far better to suggest against all evidence that Israel is a pawn of American imperialism or that recent wars have been about oil or capitalist exploitation. The reality is that if progressives (and the rest of us) really want to stop a proxy war against Syria followed by a catastrophic conflict with Iran we have to take the blinkers off and be willing to confront Jewish groups like AIPAC and the ADL directly and persistently. http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2013/05/09/gatekeeping-for-zion-2/#.UYz4Cjvtoaw.email

Boston’s Top Cop Warns Against ‘Police State’

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis warned against creating a “police state” in the aftermath of the marathon bombings during testimony in front of a congressional hearing today. Despite Davis’ call for the public’s privacy to be protected, he did call for more surveillance cameras as well as more undercover officers to increase security around big events. In the aftermath of the Boston bombings, numerous political figures and talking heads seized upon the attacks to call for big brother measures. Both Republican Congressman Peter King and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cited the attack to justify increased surveillance. “So, I do think we need more cameras. We have to stay ahead of the terrorists and I do know in New York, the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, which is based on cameras, the outstanding work that results from that,” said King. “So yes, I do favor more cameras. They’re a great law enforcement method and device. And again, it keeps us ahead of the terrorists, who are constantly trying to kill us.” In reality, as Bruce Schneier has documented, the chance of an American being killed in a terrorist attack is virtually zero when compared to the most likely causes of death. http://www.infowars.com/bostons-top-cop-warns-against-police-state/

The Hitler Test

Additional evidence of a diminishing enthusiasm for leviathan can be seen in the resolutions passed by over one hundred city/town councils — plus one state legislature — stating their opposition to, or even refusal to abide by, the Patriot Act!

Why We Should Mistrust the Government

It should come as no surprise that President Obama told Ohio State students at graduation ceremonies last week that they should not question authority and they should reject the calls of those who do.

The West and Its Allies Cynically Bleed Syria to Weaken Iran

If anyone had doubts that Syria’s gruesome civil war is already spinning into a wider Middle East conflict, the events of the past few days should have laid them to rest. Most ominous was Israel’s string of aerial attacks on Syrian military installations near Damascus, reportedly killing more than 100. The bombing raids, unprovoked and illegal, were of course immediately supported by the U.S. and British governments. Since Israel has illegally occupied Syria’s Golan Heights for 46 years, perhaps the legitimacy of a few more air raids hardly merited serious consideration. But it’s only necessary to consider what the Western reaction would have been if Syria, let alone Iran, had launched such an attack on Israel – or one of the Arab regimes currently arming the Syrian rebels – to realize how little these positions have to do with international legality, equity or rights of self-defense. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34872.htm#.UYuisJmG9YM.email

The Pareto Principle in Racial Nationalist Activism

We have limited resources and are up against globalist elites and organized ethnics with enormous resources at their disposal. In this mismatched battle, only high efficiency, smart tactics, thoughtful strategy, and a focused effort on productive activity can have any hope whatsoever of achieving our objectives. It is clear, therefore, that the Pareto Principle applies to racial nationalism. A careful consideration of how to better and more efficiently apply our efforts will be all to the good. Can we more effectively utilize our time, money, effort, and other resources to actualize our goals in the most productive manner possible? http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2013/05/the-pareto-principle-in-racial-nationalist-activism/

Are We on the Verge of Witnessing the Death of the Paper Gold Scam?

The legal claims on physical gold far exceed the amount of physical gold that the banks actually have by a very, very wide margin. And right now the bankers are scared out of their wits because their warehouses are being drained of physical gold at a frightening rate. So what happens when their physical gold is gone but they still have lots and lots of people with legal claims to gold? When that moment arrives, it will represent the end of the paper gold scam. Many believe that the recent takedown of the price of paper gold was a desperate attempt by the bankers to put off that day of reckoning, but it appears to have greatly backfired on them. Instead of cooling off demand for precious metals, it has unleashed a massive “gold rush” all over the globe. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/are-we-on-the-verge-of-witnessing-the-death-of-the-paper-gold-scam

Porn and Revolutionary Male Celibacy

This, however, is a faux-defiance, as it cedes the argument about men’s true nature to the contemptuous feminist depiction of inherently vile penile debasement. Similarly, self-proclaimed “alphas” and promoters of “game” claim to resist the feminist ethos by mocking supposedly feminized “betas” and “nice guys” who can’t score with the ladies. Yet what these preening “pick-up artists” advocate is fully in line with feminism, in that it asks men to make pleasing women a priority in their lives. Women, they say, want to see certain personality traits in a man: confidence, coolness, aloofness, narcissism, etc. The gals will select a cocky jerk over a nerdy “nice guy” every day of the week, the gamers inform us, which may well be true. Where they go off the rails, however, is in insisting that men should strive to be the kind of man that women like, because, after all, sex, and all that! What they propose is in fact enslavement to baseness, the better to serve one’s own ego. Worse still, it is perfectly harmonious with contemporary feminism, which sees men as base and wishes to keep them base, while also insisting that women’s “needs” are of paramount importance. http://alternativeright.com/blog/2013/5/8/porn-and-revolutionary-male-celibacy

Judge Orders Conspiracy Re-Education For Lauryn Hill

Grammy award-winning singer Lauren Hill has been ordered by a judge to “undergo counseling because of her conspiracy theories.” What was her conspiracy theory? That the music industry oppresses people with actual talent in favor of pumping out mindless nonsense. Yesterday Hill was sentenced to 3 months in jail followed by three months’ home confinement after failing to pay a tax bill because she had withdrawn from society following threats to her family. In June last year, Hill posted a diatribe to her Tumblr account complaining of how the music industry is “manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex.” As we’ve highlighted numerous times in the past, other recording artists have made it clear that anyone who doesn’t conform to the strict demands of the music industry or even, as Nicole Scherzinger recently remarked, sell their soul to satan, tends to find success hard to maintain in an industry that punishes individuals who dare to speak their mind. http://www.infowars.com/judge-orders-conspiracy-re-education-for-lauryn-hill/

The Warren Buffett House of Cards

Not everyone looks at the next decade as a boom for the economy. The easy money out of the Federal Reserve ultimately fuels the hysteria that is pushing the current rally. For the average consumer the markets smell of an elitist stench. The venerability of a top and a collapse has many remnants of the former middle class scared. Should the expectation be that a House of Cards is on the horizon or should the deal from the bottom of the deck continue as the insiders pump and dump their latest speculative fizz? http://www.batr.org/negotium/050813.html

U.S. Suicide Rate Rose Sharply Among Middle-Aged

The suicide rate among middle-aged Americans climbed a startling 28 percent in a decade, a period that included the recession and the mortgage crisis, the government reported Thursday. The trend was most pronounced among White men and women in that age group. Their suicide rate jumped 40 percent between 1999 and 2010. http://www.amren.com/news/2013/05/us-suicide-rate-rose-sharply-among-middle-aged/#.UYpFPWUP1yo.email

No King But Caesar

How many times have I heard some We-have-no-king-but-Caesar-type preacher say that Jesus’ words here mean that Christians have no right to resist or fight against evil government? If government passes a law to register your guns, Christians are bound to register their guns. If government passes a law outlawing your guns, Christians are bound to not resist. If government passes a law prohibiting praying, Christians are bound to not pray. If government passes a law authorizing the killing of unborn babies, Christians are bound to not interfere. If government passes a law requiring pastors to conduct marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples, pastors are bound to conduct marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples. If the government orders military chaplains to not pray in Jesus’ name, they must not pray in Jesus’ name. If the President declares a “national emergency” and asks people to surrender their firearms, Christians are bound to surrender their firearms. I suppose these same preachers believe that if the President wanted to pass an Executive Order initiating the ancient law of Prima Nocta (Right Of The First Night), whereby nobles (governing authorities) could sleep with a man’s bride on the night of her wedding, Christians are bound to submit to that order, too? Yet, the vast majority of these same Christian leaders who say “don’t resist government” are the first ones to lead the cheer for foreign wars of aggression. They are the loudest and most vocal supporters of military action against governments all over the world. They proudly extol and laud acts of war by our nation’s military. They brag about the young men of their churches joining the military and going off to war. And just what is it that military troops do? They commit acts of violence and resistance against foreign governments. http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/archives/5550#.UYpMm9SRTcc.email

Zionists Raise $27 Million For Israeli Military in One Evening

It isn’t every day or night that a tax-exempt non-profit American charity rakes in $27 million in the space of a few hours. When it happens in New York at such a well known landmark as the Waldorf-Astoria, arguably the city’s most famous hotel, it should be news, right? Wrong, apparently, since not a single TV station nor any New York newspaper, all of which are known for their attention to events in the city’s Jewish community as well as their devotion to Israel, saw fit to cover the annual dinner of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) this past March 12 which raised that enormous sum. http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/23/friends-of-israel-defense-forces-raises-27-million-under-ny-medias-radar/

The Greatest Lie the Fed Ever Told

The Fed did not exist for the first million or so years that proto-humans have been walking on two legs. It is only in the last 100 years – a blink of an eye, in evolutionary terms – that the Fed has been around… and only little more than half a century since it took up today’s activist theories. And it’s been scarcely four years since it began to apply them so aggressively. Is there any evidence that modern central banking makes things better over the long run? Has one sou or farthing been added to the world’s wealth as a result of the Fed’s policies? If so, everyone is keeping quiet about it…Instead, central banks seem to have done something that most people would have considered impossible: They seem to have stopped progress. Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s as though time stopped dead when the Fed took up its role of improving the economy. http://lewrockwell.com/bonner/bonner597.html

Israeli Bombing of Syria and Moral Relativism

Few things are more ludicrous than the attempt by advocates of US and Israeli militarism to pretend that they’re applying anything remotely resembling “principles”. Their only cognizable “principle” is rank tribalism: My Side is superior, and therefore we are entitled to do things that Our Enemies are not. In more honest moments, they admit this. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/06/syria-israel-bombing-moral-relativism

Washington’s Presumption

The new president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, is cast in Chavez’s mold. On May 4, he called US president Obama the “grand chief of devils.” Obama, who has betrayed democracy in America, unleashing execution on American citizens without due process of law and war without the consent of Congress, provoked Maduro’s response by suggesting that Maduro’s newly elected government might be fraudulent. Obviously, Obama is piqued that the millions of dollars his administration spent trying to elect an American puppet instead of Maduro failed to do the job. If anyone has accurately summed up Washington, it is the Venezuelans. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/05/07/washingtons-presumption-paul-craig-roberts/

Why America Fell So Far So Fast

Thomas Edison said, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” And because I love my country, I frequently criticize America’s shortcomings in the hopes of making her better. But the truth is that the United States is not unusual … it is just like all other empires which have hit their peak and then quickly crashed. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/05/why-america-fell-so-far-so-fast.html

Iraq’s Generation Hell

In a burst of springtime whimsy, the principle of a private Christian school in Seattle last week looked at the bright, warm forecast and decided to call off school for a ‘Sun Day.” Principal Bob Sampson said he wanted to give students some time to “re-energize and enjoy the weather,” according to a brief Associated Press account on May 3. “In a world that’s got a lot hard things going, it’s fun to create a moment of joy.” A few days earlier in Iraq, however, at the end of a brutal month where “hard” meant more than 700 people dying in one month, many of them children, a London-based international aid group pointed out in a new comprehensive report that less than half of Iraqi children ages 12 to 17 even go to school any more. Frankly, for them, a “School Day” would be the treat, not the other way around. http://original.antiwar.com/vlahos/2013/05/06/iraqs-generation-hell/#.UYjwbQB9Geg.email

An Honest Examination of Race

Black people could benefit from an honest examination of the bill of goods they’ve been sold. Such an examination would not come from black politicians, civil rights leaders or the black and white liberal elite. Those people have benefited politically and financially from keeping black Americans in a constant state of grievance based on alleged racial discrimination. The long-term solution for the problems that many black Americans face begins with an absolute rejection of the self-serving agenda of hustlers and poverty pimps. http://lewrockwell.com/williams-w/w-williams168.html#.UYj37c56GYc.email

Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?

In modern liberal historiography, the efforts of eugenicists towards immigration restriction in the United States, which eventually led to the Immigration Act of 1924, are perceived as having been illiberal, and therefore morally in contradiction with the liberal founding principles of the North American republic. But were they really? http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2013/05/was-the-immigration-act-of-1924-illiberal/

Land of the Free Watch: Are All Telephone Calls Recorded and Accessible to the U.S. Government?

The real capabilities and behavior of the U.S. surveillance state are almost entirely unknown to the American public because, like most things of significance done by the U.S. government, it operates behind an impenetrable wall of secrecy. But a seemingly spontaneous admission this week by a former FBI counterterrorism agent provides a rather startling acknowledgment of just how vast and invasive these surveillance activities are. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/04/telephone-calls-recorded-fbi-boston

Dictatorship Watch: Sheriff Bradshaw and the Palm Beach County Psihuska

“What does it hurt,” asked Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Florida’s Palm Beach County, “to have somebody knock on the door and ask, ‘Hey, is everything OK?’” The answer to that question obviously depends on the identity of the “Somebody” who is making that inquiry. What Sheriff Bradshaw had in mind was a strike force composed of deputies, social workers, and “mental health” professionals from a “Behavioral Sciences Unit” (BSU) who would be on-call twenty-four hours a day, ready to be deployed to visit the homes of what the Soviets used to call “socially dangerous people.” In the Soviet Union, such people would often be involuntarily committed to a psihuska, or psychiatric prison. http://lewrockwell.com/grigg/grigg-w323.html

Ron Paul: ‘This is a House of Cards’

With no recovery in sight, where’s all this money going? It is creating bubbles. Bubbles in the housing sector, the stock market, and government debt. The national debt is fast approaching $17 trillion, with the Fed monetizing most of the newly issued debt. The stock market has been hitting record highs for the past two months as investors seek to capitalize on the Fed’s easy money. After all, as long as the Fed keeps the spigot open, nominal profits are there for the taking. But this is a house of cards. Eventually, just like in 2008-2009, the market will discipline the bad actions of the Fed and seek to find the real normal. In the meantime, real families are suffering. While Wall Street and the government take advantage of access to the Fed’s new “free” money, the Fed claims there is no inflation. But who hasn’t paid higher prices at the grocery store, the gas pump, for tuition, for insurance? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-05/ron-paul-house-cards

Rape Farming: The Next Generation

A member of the brassica family that includes mustard, cabbage, and cauliflower, the plant called “rape” or “rapeseed” is a high-oil, high-protein crop that is one of the foundations of modern agriculture. Of course, both the terms “rape” and “rapeseed” can cause emotional distress to certain segments of the population, so at some point the plants were renamed “Canola” (from “Canadian oil”), in order to appease the distressed. As the terms “rape” and “rapeseed oil” began to decline on food product labels during the 1990′s, by an odd coincidence, feminists began to face a real problem – the other sort of rape, meaning an unwanted sexual assault, was declining also. The sexual revolution, the ready availability of birth control, the widespread availability of porn and the hypergamy of women meant that fewer and fewer men raised to be rapists by their abusive single mums had enough dry time to service the rape needs of the gynocentric ideologues who had worked so hard to damage men and boys. http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/feminist-lies-feminism/rape-farming-the-next-generation/

Human Liberty is Doomed

Hell on earth is the inevitable result from the elimination of personal liberty. The foundation of civilization rests upon the free will of each mortal and the cement of society is the ability of every person to make independent decisions and accept responsibility for their actions. The principles of the Christian gospel, the sacred heritage of the worth in each person and the traditional values of the golden rule are immutable and indisputable. Even so, the collectivist culture rejects the very core cornerstone that has provided the only intermittent sanctuary from the pillaging of the barbarians. http://batr.org/autonomy/050513.html

The Vanishing American

America as a continent, a region and as a political entity may well survive for centuries, but the American who has created and populated this nation is a vanishing breed. Is it possible for America to survive while Americans disappear? Yes, it is possible. As our character and culture change, we become a different nation, like an alien being taking over a human body. It looks the same, but the soul is different. As what it means to be an American changes, we are justified in wondering whether the nation’s Founding Fathers – or Alexis de Tocqueville or Teddy Roosevelt – would recognize the new Americans who celebrate not a special American identity and American destiny but our “common humanity” and “oneness” with the world’s collective misery. http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/the-vanishing-american/#Q4wsf18dJZQIEgzq.03

Will Israel’s Attacks Drive U.S. Into Syria?

The Obama Administration quickly and unsurprisingly endorsed Israeli attacks on Syria over the weekend, but has so far left open the question of exactly what will happen now, adding to speculation that they will be pulled headlong into a war with Syria. That certainly seems to suit the regular hawkish Congressmen just fine, with Sen. John McCain (R – AZ) predicting that the Israeli attacks could “force” Obama to act decisively against Syria and for the rebels. http://news.antiwar.com/2013/05/05/will-israels-attacks-drive-us-into-syria/
