Watch this video first:

Although history repeats - we all know "It can't happen here" ......... right?   Not in the U.S.A right?

If you are not familiar with the Hastings case see THIS PAST POST - then consider.....

Check outTHIS ARTICLE- maybe history really is repeating?

Nikolai Yezhov, walking with Stalin in the top photo from the 1930s, was killed in 1940. Following his execution, Yezhov was edited out of the photo by Soviet censors.^[54] Such retouching was a common occurrence during Stalin's rule.

Connections to 911?

Here's the end of episode 4 - but to really see some coinkydinks you really have to watch episode 1 - where it starts out at the towers, regards an event that happens on 11-9, talks about a plane flight 911 - really fun to see how happenstance is everywhere.  Go to time=46:52 to see a punch card that looks like a lit-up skyscraper fall with an interesting backdrop.

But don't forget to watch episode 1 as above so below:

The Lighthouse called Reason

Ship in a Storm

Our ship, the USA, is in a fascist storm, we need to get back to our safe harbor - the Bill of Rights.

Crowd psychology dictates that all government, good and bad, must accept the realities inherent in the management of the masses.  The alternative is anarchy.  With the passing of one of the most tyrannical July 4 holydays here in Amerika it has become evident to the crowd that things are not the way we want them to be.  In order to restore a government of the People, by the People, and for the People, We the People are tasked with bringing forth such change in government so that in the end it once again serves We the People.

Christmas and Books

Christmas in America in the seventies meant gifts from Santa Claus for many middle class children in America - myself included.  There were toys and games - and books.  There were always books - piles of them.  They were the last of the gifts from Santa to be examined after all the toys and games quickly bored the mind - leaving the most lasting impressions on the mind.  Yes - there were chemistry sets etc... that served equally awesome purpose - but the books in the end have stayed with me - whether in mind or in some cases have been carted around with me throughout the years.

Our materialistic society in many ways collectively parallels this individual experience of mine - as I watch the plastic crack and the paint fade on many modern gadgets.  But todays technology allows the changing of the written word and the control of available information more controllable to the centralized powers intent on retaining their grip over the masses at any cost.

Without reliable feedback to the public in a free society it is folly to anticipate that sound decisions will be taken at either an individual level or collectively.  This makes the free flow of information a basic requirement for the prosperity of We the People living under a set of laws we have all agreed to obey.

Those intent on limiting the free flow of information in any way of We the People directly undermine any hope for a future of liberty.

A Revolution is Coming - Like it or not

My observations tell me that the idea of revolution in America has already taken hold in the mind of the masses.  People are speaking aloud in public - conversing with each other rather than via the middle-man media known as the corporate media.  Blogs and chat rooms can no longer be controlled by shills. Callers to radio and TV shows confront the liars in ever-growing numbers.  Discussions have moved from possibilities to probabilities, from what if to when, and how.

The great hope of We the People is for peaceful change but it seems that those in power desire the opposite.  News reports abound proclaiming large ammunition purchases, movement of heavy vehicles and drills practiced by police agencies and military establishment cronies of a rotted government structure that no longer shares our values.  These reports seem designed to leave the reader or listener or watcher in the crowd with a feeling of hopelessness - that there really is no way to fight back against this "Big Brother is Watching You" police state with goons and guns at the ready.  But is this necessarily the truth?  As with everything drummed out by the paid-for corporamedia it is most likely false.

Our Challenge

The greatest challenge to Patriots intent on the restoration of the rule of law in these United States as ultimately explicated in the Bill of Rights is that we must appeal to reason - while dealing with the Crowd.  The power-hungry fascists have a much easier task from their lofty cavaliers - they must only apply the long-tested and well-established tenets of mass-media tricks and artifice to manipulate the mob on airwaves they "own" - and in many cases supported by massive war-chests of dollars confiscated from We the People.

Crowds respond to simplicity.  Crowds are ever-prone to credulity - believing the first tale or corruption of truth fed to them.  It's just that way.  That is why every time there is a "crisis" - whether real or false-flag - an "eye-witness" to the event is just moments away - conveniently babbling to the camera for mob consumption the pre-digested image for the public mind - devoid of evidence or investigation - and becomes "fact" as the days and weeks pass by with ever more noise emanating from the boob-tube and other corporate controlled government lackey media.  

The fascists controlling our state-run media KNOW that violent affirmations and repetition of simple messages are the formula to moving the mind of the mob - especially during the key time-window moments after an event of their own making - where the mass-mind is most at the ready in a heightened state of vulnerability to the processes of hypnotic suggestion.  It works every time.

These masses of ordinary people - people like YOU and me - compose a mass mind - a crowd.  This crowd can be moved to perform the most extraordinary feats of bravery - feats higher than any individual may be capable of performing on their own.  These crowds of YOU and me are also EQUALLY capable of performing the most atrocious acts of violence and vicious selfishness beyond that imaginable by any individual in the crowd.  The path of the mob is determined by its management.

Managing the Masses

Since we have decided, so far, that anarchy is not the answer - that we do indeed wish to have laws that serve We the People - and that we have collectively decided that our "leaders" are no longer respecting such laws (BILL OF RIGHTS) - we must manage the masses - that means government. 

Good government is that which serves WE THE PEOPLE.  Any government that denies its solemn duty to protect individual rights of WE THE PEOPLE - but PRETENDS to protect us by enslaving us is no longer good government.  That means it is a bad government - and bad government HAS TO GO BYE-BYE.  This means the ejection of key PEOPLE within said government and the installation of good people (representatives) that will execute the laws we've agreed to live under and restore the BILL OF RIGHTS.  The question is how to accomplish this urgent need.

REVOLUTION

I've heard that most revolutions are bloodless - so it is reasonable to expect that we can have a bloodless revolution here in the US right now.  This revolution is taking place in the hearts and minds of WE THE PEOPLE now - and the fascists controlling the mob-media are intent on making it bloody by fanning flames of racism, divisions exploiting issues like gays and abortion etc...  That is their plan - to bring forth fighting using these and other false-flag scams to divide us and then eventually conquer us.

Our task - and the more difficult one - is the continue to pick them off one at a time using REASON.  This must be in every way on every day.  Every opportunity to "get the word out" or express what is obvious must be taken - but it takes time.  As the hearts and minds are won by reason - the mass-mind that is America will act as the GOOD crowd, the BRAVE crowd and will perform those deeds that have been accomplished by the masses throughout the ages.  Leaders will be necessary - but they must be chosen by a reasoned body and not a bloodthirsty crowd.

Conclusion

Crowd psychology is the means by which the fascists desire to maintain control.  As an inescapable reality WE THE PEOPLE must also bear its merits and pitfalls in mind as we fight to bring back good government - bringing our ship to shore out of this fascist storm.

Saving America: Turning Lemons into Lemonade

Our Crisis

We do indeed live in "interesting times."  But are we interested in the right things?  What are the "right" things we should be interested in?  After all, it seems that in an ostensibly free country with "liberty and justice for all" bandied about as a foundational credo - the opposite has somehow become the status quo - that is - if YOU or I my dear citzen - dare to become interested in the "wrong" things.

The Sorcerers of Reality

I am an American citizen.  It is my DUTY to involve myself in the deeds performed by the United States Government in my name using my tax dollars.  Taxation in America is no joke - they want their money - and they'll come and get it.  Presently at an individual level there seems to be no escape from the boiler room on the trainwreck called the  Yoo-ess-ayy - where we are obligated to shovel our hard-won earnings into a ravenous furnace of immorality - while the Yoo-ess-ay derails eating the life out of all aboard, smashing any and all patriots standing in its doomed path.  One would think that only  a suicidal passenger on the Yoo-ess-ayy would opt to ignore our pending doom - but somehow the world has turned upside down where it is implied that only the suicidal will dare to speak out against the sorcerers of our pre-packaged reality.  Like who?

Michael Hastings

What happened to Michael Hastings?  Who can argue that Hastings is a hero?  Here's a little bit about him from here:

"Hastings was best known for a 2010 Rolling Stone profile that led to the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Hastings was a contributing editor at the magazine.

Petraeus resigned from the CIA after publicly admitting that he and Broadwell had carried on an extramarital affair.

At the time the article was published, McChrystal commanded all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. In the piece, he voiced open contempt for President Obama and administration policies. Soon after, McChrystal met with the president and tendered his resignation."

From another article we are told the usual "move along nothing to see here" with the standard addition that those who think he was murdered are "conspiracy theorists:"  

"Hastings, 33, died about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when his 2013 silver Mercedes slammed into a tree in Hancock Park and burst into flames. The car was going so fast, the engine was found more than 100 feet away from the crash, authorities said.

Since Hasting’s death, wild conspiracy theories have bloomed on the Internet, implying he was murdered by powerful forces wanting to silence him."

SOOOOOO...... the presstitute media (as Paul Craig Roberts often calls it)  that has been complicit as the propaganda arm of our police state shouts louder to drown out public outcry that Not just "conspiracies" abound......but WILD  conspiracy theories!  Wow - they are getting desperate.  But shouldn't we first take a step back at the big picture to consider other factors?  Ya' know like MEANS, MOTIVE AND OPPORTUNITY?   Or shouldn't WE THE PEOPLE think those thoughts, that is, unless we want to be next!

An article here tells us that the US Federal Government claims they have the right to kill anyone anywhere, anytime including US citizens and that they have already.  So doesn't it stand to reason that  WE THE PEOPLE would ask the next logical question - did you do it again by murdering Michael Hastings?

"It is legal for the American government to order the killing of an American citizen if a "high-level" official decides that the person is a senior member of al-Qaeda or an associated group who poses "an imminent threat of violent attack" against the US, according to a Justice Department memo obtained by NBC News. But the 16-page document, which details the legal reasoning behind the use of drone strikes against Americans, uses a very broad definition of "imminent." A key part:

• "The condition that an operational leader present an 'imminent' threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on US persons and interests will take place in the immediate future.""

The answer:  YES!  After all they told us that they think they have the right to do it.  So YES the Federal government is to be HIGHLY SUSPECT.

MEANS

We can read HERE that modern automobile driver control can be remotely over-ridden:

"Many people know about GM's Onstar which maintains an always on cellular internet connection to the heart of the engine control system and has been that way since the 90's. But few people know about the Federal mandate, which in 2005 forced manufacturers to include a similar always on internet connection via the cell network in EVERY car sold in America, Onstar or not. And this team of hackers has proven that a remote connection can indeed allow commandeering of these cars (in their case they used a remote controlled laptop plugged into the OBD port rather than the cell connection) that could be used to turn the car into a murder weapon. 
...
The CIA favors car accident deaths above all other assassination methods because the plausible denyability factor is so high, and even if all evidence seems to make the driver appear innocent, it's easy to stop such a defense by blaming drugs or alcohol. "


And of course if you do a little digging you will find that that is the direction the investigation will follow - find a way to blame Hastings for his own death:

"The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Coroner's officials said they plan to conduct toxicology tests on Hastings, which could take weeks. They are also attempting to determine whether any health issues contributed to the crash."

One must keep in mind that if there were a conspiracy to murder Michael Hastings a cover-up follow-through is essential for the perps to escape scrutiny.  Such cover-ups require the embedding of stereotypes in the public mind for later recall when the "authorities" provide the planned excuses for Michael's conveniently timed demise.  So "wild conspiracy theories" and "toxicology" are logical embeds in the crony media- that is - if a conspiracy really is afoot.

Perhaps other MEANS were used?  I am only considering possible options as an American Citizen - after all - means, motive, and opportunity are obvious considerations in any investigation:

"This helicopter is about 49 pounds, and you probably want to watch the video after the jump to see it in action. According to my Source, the Shadowhawk is already being used to track pirates off the Horn of Africa. Apparently, it is also used to enforce law on U.S. streets.

It also comes with the option of turbine or piston engines, thermal cameras, range fingers, and laser pointers. For those who want some weapons, it is also possible to install 37 mm or 40 mm grenade launchers, 12 gauge shotgun rounds, or even taser batons."

Justice in America

...or should that read InJustice Amerika?

I predict that "our" Justice Department [sic] will perform predictably with the same evidence effacing efficiency we've come to expect from government workers.  Surely you can remember the old joke "We're from the government and we're here to help."  Ha ha ha - the question is .... help with WHAT?

I anticipate an array of antics consistent with their perfect track record of incredulousness.  Conspiracy? What's that?  This is the same federal government of obsessed paranoiacs and control freaks that see a conspirator (terrorist) hiding under every laptop computer lid.  These are the psychopaths that have trained our police to shoot first and ask questions later.  These are the same inept and overpaid boobs that cry "plot" every time someone does a Google search for "pressure cooker."  "Our" injustice department IS that hammer to which everything appears a nail - that is - when it suits their agenda of Total Control over We The People.  But if a journalist intent on revealing their dastardly machinations dies conveniently in a suspicious fiery blaze - they can only say to us "What do you mean conspiracy?"

Lemons, lemons everywhere...so how to make a drink?

Although the violent psychopaths press on their war on free speech there is still plenty of good information out there for the average Joe to conclude that we are being lied to.  How is one to tell who is telling the truth?

If one is inclined to educate themselves regarding the JFK murder, for example, there is a vast sea of good information, bad info, outright lies and truth.  Those providing the information available are often attacked ad hominem by those with opposing viewpoints making it difficult to know who to believe.  In the end we must trust our own instincts and judgement.  But we must LOOK first - decide later.

Much of what we face now regarding Michael Hastings' death is propaganda.  Walter Lippmann on page 27 of "Public Opinion" defines propaganda:

"We have learned to call this propaganda.  A group of men, who can prevent independent access to the event, arrange the news of it to suit their purpose."

So we can expect propaganda - but we must beware the dangers inherent in our individual digestion of data distributed to us from all sources - and we are dependent upon media sources for our information because (page 53 Pub Op):

"Inevitably our opinions cover a bigger space, a longer reach of time, a greater number of things, than we can directly observe.  They have therefore, to be pieced together out of what others have reported and what we can imagine."

Our interpretation of data presented is further filtered (and encouraged by the fake corporate media) to pass judgement without examining the facts.  This is human nature as described on p 54:

"For the most part we do not see first, and then define, we define first and then  see."

It seems reasonable that media outlets encouraging that we fall into a well-known trap of human perception should be regarded with suspicion - don't you agree?

CONCLUSION

Trust your own judgement.  Conspiracy is as American as Apple Pie - don't be fooled.  Regardless of the cries of terror, the pleas to give up your liberty for a little fake safety under the protective umbrella of the biggest terrorists on the planet - always remember the Bill of Rights as your center.  Everybody deserves their day in court and the government was established in these United States with only ONE MANDATE - to preserve the individual rights of WE THE PEOPLE.  So keep juicing the lemons and in the end we'll all enjoy the sweet lemonade of LIBERTY.

A Fantasy of Weather Modification

Map in video raises questions about WW2 insurance policy

"New" information available demonstrates Stalin not so smart after all in video available HERE.  Records show that Stalin didn't say "fall back" for a retreat and that was how he won - just the opposite.  Anyway - just more information to help put history together for those so inclined.  But I wonder what history we are STILL not hearing about?  And why does it seem that the producers had to re-invent map colors to keep it concealed?

Think I'm crazy?  Fine.  But what ever happened to Blue on a map for water?  What ever happened to solid colors to show contrast rather than translucent color schemes?  Is it by accident that this map makes it hard to see contrast?  Contrast between what?

The coloring of the map makes it easy to confuse water and land - like the land that for "some unknown reason" - above Italy on the map above - wasn't subjugated by the last "Axis of Evil."  I have my theories - this topic has been discussed before.  But "they" keep taking down the videos from my blog posts each time I bring this subject up.

Call me a conspiracy theorist - fine.  That just makes me smarter than the average monkey.

But ask yourself - why why why does that country right smack in the middle of all that mayhem have an insurance policy that protects them from the last "AXIS of EVIL?"  I mean, heck, if they are EVIL they don't discriminate right?

It raises questions for me - as to why that country was spared destruction and subjugation.  I also have questions as to why such a color scheme was used that makes it easy to miss this important historical anomaly.  If the folks involved in the production of this "historical" documentary are so interested in bringing the true facts of history to light - what about bringing the truth to light about the success that little country above Italy had in staying out of a conflict that swept the world?  After all - I want to keep my country out of war - is it possible that I can help educate my fellow citizens to the ways of peace that country must excel in?

Or are the powers still there?  Is that why - although the "truth" is coming out about the technicalities of this battle or that battle - the real truth about the puppetmasters that somehow exist above the conflict remain safely distant - protected by an elite bubble - that keeps the rest of us wondering why we are all supposed to be at each others throats?

Can it have something to do with international banking?  About the way wars are financed?  I think so.
