Watching America Die

servitude |ˈsərviˌt(y)oōd|nounthe state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful.• archaic Law the subjection of property to an easement.ORIGIN late Middle English : via Old French from Latin servitudo, from servus ‘slave.’*Apple dict


Scanning the headlines and perusing articles and videos on the net  - it is obvious that the drift toward tyranny continues.  Despite the efforts of patriots everywhere the masses remain hopelessly blind to the fate that awaits them - servitude.

Americans are now "completely subject to someone more powerful"  - that "someone" would be the international bankers.  This is not news to the keyboard patriots, the 911 truth leaders, the Wall Street protesters, the folks like "We are Change" who confront the representatives of the puppetmasters.  It is also not news to the general public since the corporate owned media - the teevee media - the "afternoon drive" radio media and the moribund newspapers most Americans rely on for their information  as such tools of the 1% persist in their propaganda war against the general public.

I say "against" because the false reality - the bubble-world - the poison - fed to the masses is not meant to inform - it is meant to control.  Whether the propagandists realize it or not - whether they intend it or not - the end result of the manipulation of the public mind now underway will result in the death of the United States of America.  

I am not a gloom-and-doomer - I am a realist.  Self-governance - a government Of the People, By the People, and For the People is impossible when the public is lied to.  Just like a computer program tasked to crunch numbers given to it - the output of the computer is based upon the input given to it.  "Garbage in, garbage out" is the saying - and that is where we are today in America.  The public is only a factor in the equation. 

Personally I've given up on elections for now.  Even if the elections were honest - they cannot serve their purpose since the public will vote according to the false premises presented to them by our corrupt General Electric owned and Pentagon poisoned media.  I was impressed when I saw that Alexandria, Virginia had paper ballots recently for an election - but alas - go to Alexandria, Virginia - talk to the robots up there.  For the most part they remain the most highly educated ignoramuses on the planet.  They are surrounded.  They are the true believers.  They see the terrorists everywhere - just like I used to see Santa Claus on Christmas Eve when, as I found out later, my older brothers and sisters were ringing copper cow-bells outside the windows of our house on Christmas Eve.  Yes - I saw Santa Claus - but I didn't.

America has become a nation of children.  Perhaps it's always been that way - I don't know - haven't lived that long - but presently that's how I see it.  This is a nation of true-believers.  A nation of grown men and women who, despite being screwed by every bank, being lied to by "experts" in the "news", despite having their children killed and maimed in wars of aggression based on lies - this nation of "adults" continue to believe that their big-daddy in the government cares about them.  What rationalizations they must concoct!  How a parent rationalizes the loss of their kid, a mother her son, a brother, sister - a loved one - how these folks lie to themselves never ceases to amaze me.

Our police have become Americans' prison guards.  If you don't come up with the jingle to pay the banker - our nation's finest can be counted on to evict you from the bank's property.  It doesn't matter if the bank really owns it or not - the cops don't care.  An eviction is simply an opportunity for our nation's thuggiest to use a Taser on somebody - anybody - they don't care.  There was a recent story where a cop heard a guy talking on his phone too loud - the off-duty cop punched the guy so hard that the victim ended up on life support.  The victim had four kids - and the occasion was Fathers Day: more

"Vander Lee was sitting with his brother and wife on the patio of Tanners Station in Andoverat about 7 p.m. Saturday when Sgt. David Clifford punched him once in the head, according to authorities. The 43-year-old fell to the ground and knocked his head on the concrete patio. Clifford, the executive officer of the Minneapolis Police Department's SWAT unit, then walked out of the bar, authorities said. twincities.com


Witnesses identified the assailant as Sgt. David Clifford but police did not find the officer at his home. Commander Paul Sommer said that Clifford finally turned himself in at about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday after retaining a lawyer. curezone.com

Clifford, 47, was charged just before 5 p.m. Monday with third-degree assault. twincities.com

An online biography indicated that Clifford had served with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division as team leader of Personal Security Detachments in Kosovo and Iraq. activistpost.com

After two brain surgeries, Vander Lee was still on life support Sunday. Doctors are hopeful that he will recover. activistpost.com"



Is this what our SWAT police are for - to bash our heads in for our own good?  This brings me to the topic of restraint.

I must give Americans credit for one thing:  Restraint.  

Over and over again we see that our police are brutalizing the public, Tasering them, doing all kinds of horrible things.  But I never hear about vigilantes striking back.  

It is a wonder to me that armed Americans haven't decided to take the law into their own hands - especially since the courts protect murderous police time and time again.

I am yet to read a story where somebody finally "loses it" and just kills the cop.  Americans are not doing that.  Is that a testament to the restraint of the average American - or just an acknowledgement by the public that we live in a police state?  Are Americans just too dopey to do anything about the murder or maiming of their loved one at the hands of thug police - or are they resigned to the idea that we are sliding into tyranny anyway - and that there really is no hope?  I can't figure it out.

Our food supply is under attack as Monsanto continues their attempts to monopolize the world food supply.  Only Americans seem to get the shaft when it gets to the courts.  Poland has recently kicked these Monsanto-monsters out of their country - but in America - we have guys like Rand Paul voting against GMO food labeling.  Our government agencies agree.  Screw the American public - let them eat.....poison.  And make sure they can't read labels to avoid the poison.  F the public.  That's the attitude here in the States.

Our water supply - this is a big one.  I firmly believe that there is a major effort underway by the big corporate players to control the water supply - of the entire planet.  This will make control and perpetual taxation a reality for the puppetmasters over the herd.  Look at all the wars going on - some of them are in areas where water is at stake.  What about Paraguay - isn't there an ouster of a leader there?  Didn't the  Bush's recently buy land on the largest aquifer in the land?  Hmmmm.  Maybe it's just coincidence.  Libya is another example.  I'm sure there are many more - but I've not been busy informing myself lately - I've been tuning out - the information overload requires rest once in a while.

Soon, we may find ourselves embroiled in war in Syria and Iran - yes - I know - we already have our killers there.  I'm talking about full-scale war - war requiring lots of troops - like - your kids.

Is there any good news?  Not enough.  People are waking up fast - the numbers are growing......

But propaganda works.  

I can only ask those reading this to keep up the good fight - fixing a mess as big as the one we are in takes time.  Since our culture has been so undermined that our values are also in trouble - our task becomes much much more complicated.

The very value of life - today in America - has successfully been diminished.  

Can we turn this mess around?  Or will America die on our watch?

It may not matter anymore - either way we must rebuild our nation - learn from our mistakes - and preserve liberty.

Monsanto Faced with Paying 7.5 Billion Back to Farmers

"Back in April, a Brazilian court ruled that Monsanto absolutely was responsible for paying back the exorbitant amounts of cash back to the farmers, ordering the company to issue back all of the taxes collected since 2004 — a minimum of 2 billion dollars. Afterwards, Monsanto appealed the decision and the case is now suspended until a further hearing is initiated by the Justice Tribune of the local court stationed in Rio Grande do Sul."

Obama's Air Force bomb expert blew fuse on Martha's Vineyard

"In her statement to police, obtained by FoxNews.com, the teacher said she had her back to the room when, “I felt two hands deliberately placed on the sides of my breasts, which then slid down my torso to my waist and moved me to the left. I heard a voice say, ‘Excuse me.’”
Reached by FoxNews.com, the woman declined to discuss the incident. But a bartender who was there that night told FoxNews.com McNally was out of control.

“He was just loud and grabbing girls and talking sh--,” the bartender recalled. “[McNally said], ‘I box. I kill people for a living. I protect the President of the United States,’ things like that. We kicked him out.”

According to interviews and police reports, McNally and a friend then walked across the street to The Atlantic restaurant, where he got into a fight with manager Jamie Zambrana at closing time. When Zambrana told McNally he needed to exit through the front door, "McNally threw a punch with a closed fist, striking [Zambrana] in the face, knocking him through the door and onto the ground," the police report states. "Zambrana stated he kicked McNally three times in the groin area, then punched McNally with a closed fist in the face. McNally then fell to the ground."

EXCLUSIVE: Biden's brawlers: Veep's security team squared off in Nantucket melee

"The fight, which a police report said “caused visible damage to both parties,” pitted Jonathan Dawes, a hulking, 217-pound Secret Service agent, and Eric “Bomb Squad” Gahagan, a Massachusetts State Police bomb technician assigned to Biden, against three Air Force officers who had just been assigned to the same detail. The airmen, who suffered black eyes, head contusions and a chipped tooth, thought their assailants were local cops. Gahagan and Dawes knew the airmen were part of the Biden detail.
A bouncer told cops “the incident bothered him because Gahagan and Dawes were both considerably bigger than the men they attacked,” the eight-page police report stated. “He said he felt that Gahagan and Dawes were acting like bullies.”

Hacked companies fight hacking by hacking

"Known in the cyber security industry as "active defense" or "strike-back" technology, the reprisals range from modest steps to distract and delay a hacker to more controversial measures. Security experts say they even know of some cases where companies have taken action that could violate laws in the United States or other countries, such as hiring contractors to hack the assailant's own systems."

"Solntsev also examined the problem of "information noise," which creates a dense shield between a person and external reality. This noise may manifest itself in the form of signals, messages, images, or other items of information. The main target of this noise would be the consciousness of a person or a group of people. Behavior modification could be one objective of information noise; another could be to upset an individual's mental capacity to such an extent as to prevent reaction to any stimulus. Solntsev concludes that all levels of a person's psyche (subconscious, conscious, and "superconscious") are potential targets for destabilization."

7,000 miles for the USS Liberty

http://galvestondailynews.com/photo/251810
"Larry Toenjes, of Clear Lake Shores, is sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, heading to the spot where 45 years ago the USS Liberty was attacked, killing 34 and injuring 174.


Members of Congress never miss an opportunity to say to a U.S. service man or woman, “We thank you for your service!”
But their service is not praised if doing so would embarrass the state of Israel, the pro-Israel lobby or diminish campaign contributions."
