How the Big Brother controls “alternative” media — Council for National Policy (CNP)

I don’t know how important this group is, but it may be significant. Joyce Riley mentioned the CNP (Council for National Policy) on The Power Hour, 1/22/16 (minute-48:40). Dr. Stanley Monteith invited her to speak at one of their events, and she got a cold response when she mentioned George Bush (didn’t say which one) in relation to the vaccine issue. Doesn’t sound good.

Some religious leaders, patriots, Republican heavy hitters, etc. whom I found interesting from the 2001 membership list:

How the Big Brother controls “alternative” media
By Matthew D. Jarvie | Dissecting the New Age 7,008 VIEWS
August 14, 2009

CNP members from L to R: (Top) Jack McLamb, Dr. Stanley Monteith, Cliff Kincaid, Paul Craig Roberts, (Bottom) Dr. Jerome Corsi, Larry Pratt, Dr. Michael Coffman, Bob Barr.

Pictured above is just a few of the more popular names — especially among followers of the “alternative” media — who are members of the ultra-secret Council for National Policy (CNP). …

Established in 1981 by Tim LaHaye, an evangelical minister, author and speaker, the CNP was founded as a forum for “conservative” politicians, business leaders, members of the media, and evangelical leaders seeking to “strengthen the political right” in the United States. The group’s initial funding was provided by Rockefeller associate Nelson Bunker Hunt. Hunt and the Rockefeller family also played a leading role in the financing of the John Birch Society.

Since 1981, the CNP has been meeting in secret three times a year to set the agenda for the conservative and evangelical movement in the U.S. …

Because of the CNP’s secretive nature, some, including members of the CNP itself, have compared it to the slightly less secretive but more powerful Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CNP is often viewed as the right wing’s version of the Eastern Liberal Establishment’s CFR, though when looking through the group’s roster, it doesn’t take long to find many names which are/were also members of the CFR. Surely anyone who has done their homework knows that the Left vs. Right argument is a ruse, and that whether somebody in a position of power claims to be “liberal” or “conservative” they are still — knowingly or unknowingly — working toward the furtherance of the globalist, one world agenda. …

Anyone who believes the CNP to be a benevolent organization needs to consider some of the names that belong to it or were formerly involved with it. To name a few (aside from those already mentioned at the top of the page):

Tom Delay
Rudy Giuliani
Oliver North (Iran-Contra criminal, Rex-84)
Erik Prince (owner of Xe, formerly Blackwater)
John Hagee (Christian-Zionist preacher/paid propagandist for Israel)
Trent Lott
Richard Mellon Scaife (billionaire newspaper publisher)
Sen. John McCain
Dick Armey
Alan Keyes
John Bolton
Ed Feulner (president of the “conservative” Heritage Foundation)
Steve Forbes
Chuck Missler (Conservative bible teacher)
Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld
Mark Sanford
Alberto Gonzalez
Jack Abramoff (convicted felon, Zionist, former lobbyist)
Pat Robertson
Jesse Helms
Dr. Edward Teller (father of the hydrogen bomb)
Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation)
Jack Kemp

Film producer Josh Reeves says in Volume Two: “All paths lead to Rome.” Apparently, he believes Rome controls all of the secret societies, which I don’t find to be true.

This video, Volume One, meanders in many directions other than the CNP. These are some points I found worth noting.

Dr Stan talks with Harry Cooper from sharkhunters.com discussing the very real possibility that Adolf Hitler, Martin Bormann and many more thousands of Nazi’s were allowed to flee Germany towards the end of WW2 and escape to South America and other places as well as part of the ‘Power Elite: and the Secret Nazi Plan’ (by Dennis L. Cuddy Ph.D)

DR. STANLEY MONTEITH, Host of Radio Liberty, PASSES AWAY AT 85 — "Coming to you from the hills overlooking beautiful and picturesque Monterey Bay, bringing you the news behind the news, the story behind the story — hoping to convince you that reality is usually scoffed at and that illusion is usually king. But in the battle for survival for western civilization it’s going to be reality, and not illusion or delusion that will determine what the future will bring”

Dr. Stan was ONE OF THE GREATEST TRUTH TELLERS OF ALL TIME!!!
I felt badly that he wasn’t given more credit and air time by those who had a bigger platform. His real-history perspective was badly needed. And he understood there are dark, spiritual forces behind the globalists’ agenda.
I got to know Dr. Stan personally when Barbara invited us to visit with them in their home during a Radio Liberty conference:

At the Monteith’s (Photo of Mom and me with Dr. Stan and Barbara at their home in 2004)

In his living room, I was able to share with him what I had learned about what the Bible really says about who goes to heaven. Soon afterward, Dr. Stan posted this on his site:

BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT (Matthew 5:48): Thirty-eight Sermonettes on SIN, SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS

Thank you, Dr. Stan for all you’ve done to help so many, most of whom didn’t want to hear. He did five hours of radio per day anyway, trying to reach as many as possible, even up until the end. In 2004, I suggested that he might do less hours per day, but he said, “no, no….” He interviewed Joel Skousen for the last time on 9/18/14. Joel has long been a weekly guest for many years, which I almost always listened to, and often reported on at ToBeFree.
It’s sad to see that you’ve passed before seeing spiritual revival come, which is what we needed to significantly enough change America, while we still had the chance.

Dr. Stanley Monteith, Host of Radio Liberty, Passes Away at 85

Dr. Stan was one of the first, if not the first, to expose globalism
Prison Planet.com
September 29, 2014
Dr. Stanley Monteith, the nationally syndicated radio host and author who spent nearly 50 years exposing the globalist agenda, paving the way for many patriots to do the same, passed away this morning at the age of 85.
Dr. Stanley Monteith, Host of Radio Liberty, Passes Away at 85 092914drstan3
For many decades, Dr. Monteith blazed the trail for liberty radio and his tireless work revolutionized the liberty movement.
“Dr. Stan,” as he was known, served on the front lines warning of the spiritual battle taking place between good and evil and did tremendous work in exposing the vast network of secret societies and mysterious forces behind the men who make up the “Brotherhood of Darkness.” He was also a pioneer in warning about the dangers of fluoride, vaccines and America’s fiat Federal Reserve currency.
Dr. Monteith was also a good friend and a source of inspiration for Alex Jones.
“He was one of those people who was always at the epicenter of good change, defending liberty and battling tyranny,” Jones said today. “He did it absolutely with a servant’s heart and that’s what mattered.”
The classic introduction of Dr. Stan’s radio show, Radio Liberty, galvanized listeners into actively searching for the real truth rather than accepting the false explanations of the world around them without question.

“Well, Dr. Stan here at the Genesis Communication Network. Coming to you from the hills overlooking beautiful and picturesque Monterey Bay and bringing you the news behind the news, the story behind the story. Hoping to convince you that reality is usually scoffed at and that illusion is usually king, but in the battle for survival for western civilization it’s going to be reality and not illusion or delusion that will determine what the future will bring.”

From the entire Infowars staff, our condolences go out to Dr. Monteith’s family. May he rest in peace.

WHY ILLEGALS RARELY GET DEPORTED

Flooding Europe with Muslims and America with Latinos is a key part of the globalist agenda to create ethnic conflict, overwhelm traditional conservative voting patterns and take advantage of immigrants’ far higher birth rate to permanently alter Western culture. This is NOT an exclusively Democratic Party agenda. Both the Obama administration and the Bush administration before it invoked a secret policy of using executive authority to deter the effectiveness of the Border Patrol. Putting more agents on the border is pointless if their arrests are negated by a system that only gives the illegals a future court date and then releases back into society. 95% don’t appear for their day in court, preferring to hide out until amnesty arrives. Predictably, Obama offered to sign pending “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” legislation as a solution, but this form of amnesty is the magnet, not the solution. Obama is also demanding that Congress increase deficit spending another $2B to handle the “humanitarian” crisis, when $2.5B would complete the fence and stop the problem—but that’s not what they want. On this 4th of July, let us concentrate on the accelerating dangers to our liberty rather than mindless flag waving and fireworks, which only tend to keep people wedded to the establishment view of events.

A local CBS station in Arizona covered how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he wants to know why the immigrants he turns over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) keep coming back

 “I want an explanation and investigation as to why 3,800 of the people in my jails that are charged with state and local crimes are here illegally,” Arpaio told Newsmax TV. “We turn them over to ICE and they keep coming back over and over again.” Arpaio stated that he has sent a letter to Homeland Security demanding an answer. “How come they’re not deported, or if they are, why do they keep coming back across the border?” Arpaio questioned.

He’s got a point, and Arizona taxpayers should be hopping mad at the revolving door the feds and the courts have created. The administration will keep claiming they are doing their best and they can’t stop it, but it’s not true. They won’t stop it because of the conflict creation agenda that I mentioned above. Here’s an accurate description by Brandon Darby of Breitbart.com of the policies being employed by the Bush and Obama administrations that ensure the illegals keep coming:

The illegal immigrants who cross as incomplete family units simply enter the U.S. illegally, turn themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents, are processed, and then are released with a notice to appear at a future date for court proceedings. U.S. taxpayers then fund bus tickets for the illegal immigrants to go to the U.S. city of their choosing. Approximately 95 percent of the illegal immigrants never return as promised for court proceedings, according to Hector Garza, a Border Patrol agent and spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Local 2455.

 “The majority of these people crossed the border illegally and were then dropped off here at the bus station, so they could continue to their final destination, and that destination is an American city near you,” said Garza. “This right here is border insecurity at its best. Our border is not patrolled, it’s not being secured… our federal government is releasing thousands and thousands of illegal aliens into our communities.”

A double layer border fence would halt illegal immigration by at least 95%, but even though every piece of current reform legislation contains provisions for “securing the border” we know from past experience that the fence will never be completed. It’s just a gimmick to pacify the opposition. In 2006, Republicans passed the “Secure Fence Act of 2006”, with a vote of 283–138, but the Bush administration quit building after a year and refused to fund it to completion

Critics keep harping on how ineffective and costly the fence is. Of course it is ineffective—it isn’t finished and illegals simply go around the existing double fenced portions. The current border fence is more gaps than fence, and much of the fence is there only to bar vehicle crossings. Illegals can simply step over the low barrier.

All administrations have sabotaged the cost aspect by permitting crony contractors to overcharge for products and services. The Bush administration wasted much of the fence allocation by diverting billions to a horribly conceived “high-tech electronic surveillance fence” that was supposed to eliminate a physical fence, but never worked.

And, when you spend $2B on emergency humanitarian aid for illegals who the administration refuses to deport, it doesn’t take long to see that the fence, even if it costs $4B, is a bargain because it’s not a recurring cost, but a permanent fix.

Worse, in the past year the current administration, in collusion with Latino TV and radio networks, created incentives for thousands of unaccompanied minors to cross into the US by advertizing the various strategies illegals can take advantage of to subvert the law. It’s no secret that the Obama administration refuses to deport them once they arrive. Here’s a report from one of my subscribers on the Latino propaganda beating the drums of illegal immigration:

 Most Hispanics get there news and information from Univision, which is very liberal in how they portray the news that deals with politics. They are also constantly bombarding the audience with amnesty propaganda. 

Most of their news is focused on the immigration issue. Yet, lately it seems as if they have been more aggressive about it. They had a segment about the bodies (belonging to immigrants that had attempted to cross the border illegally but had failed) that were buried in a Texan cemetery. Their point was that it was very inhuman the way that they were buried-with no respect according to them (because the remains are unidentified). They ended that segment by showing a woman crying and saying that it is not fair nor humane for these people to be buried as undocumented. She then says that we should fix our situation so that nobody has to come into this country undocumented.

The next segment was about two boys from Honduras who had come illegally and had been in one of these “detention centers” for some time. They were released and reunited with their families in the US. The story is about how much they suffered during their travels, how much they suffered in the detention center and how happy they now are. I wanted to point out some parts of the video. They quote one of the boys as saying “That it was like a nightmare”. They then show him saying why. The boy laughs as he’s saying “Because we had to suffer hunger, because I was really bored and because-I don’t know-I didn’t like the food”. Later on they must have asked him if he wanted to say something to his parents (and maybe even to the president) because the same boy said, “To my parents, that I love them; and to Obama, thank you”. Here is the link to the actual video.

Who told the boy from Honduras that it was thanks to Obama that he was able to “fulfill his dream” (as Univision called it)? It seems like maybe these kids are coming into this country, and they are giving them this idea of seeing Obama as this benevolent leader who can make/change laws and fulfill dreams. These children come, already thinking that they are entitled to receive care from the government. These children, without knowing, are being brought really into servitude and it is us who have to pick up the check. And while we do, they now have more leverage to further their goals. These children don’t come learning about the Constitution or freedom, but they do come in learning of how kind Obama is and that the government is there to take care of you.

The article that is included in the link that I sent you is about Obama telling Central American parents to not send their children to the United States or they would be sent back. Yet, as my source noted, the article ends by saying that, in contrast to undocumented children from Mexico, illegal children “from Central America cannot be sent back immediately. That authorities have to provide sanitary assistance and basic necessities before releasing them to their parents (in the States) or foster parents while they wait for their court date. It almost seems as if they’re telling the people that though President Obama said this, it’s still safe to come.”

What to do? First finish the fence. Customs and Border Protection spent $2.4 billion between 2006 and 2009 to complete 670 miles of border fence. Estimates are now up over $3-4B simply because the government wants to deter Congress from voting to finish it—and even if they would authorize that amount, the courts would keep ruling in favor of environmental challenges to stop it.

Second, penalize Mexico by deporting all people back to Mexico who entered from there. Mexico is presently issuing cross-through visas to these foreign nationals whose purpose (it must be clear by now) is to break US law.

Finally, Americans on the border are getting fed up with busing these illegals around and releasing them into their communities. This week we saw what I hope will become a common precedent for civil disobedience against this evil government agenda that is sweeping the country. Protestors in Murrieta California blocked buses bringing immigrants into their community from Texas for processing (and releasing). As the NY Daily News wrote,

Angry locals in Murrieta, Calif., packed a 750-seat high school gym for a town hall meeting Wednesday night, a day after protesters blocked the streets to prevent the arrival of 140 immigrants from overcrowded Texas facilities.

“Send them back! Send them back!” the crowd shouted at Murrieta officials and federal Border Patrol agents trying to address the meeting, as hundreds of residents stood outside unable to enter the crowded assembly. Concerned residents asked about public health, safety, and what happens once the immigrants are processed and released to the community.

Loud booing erupted as Chief Border Patrol Agent Paul Beeson revealed that four of the 140 immigrants destined for Murrieta — but rerouted to a nearby Border Patrol station in Chula Vista given the street protest — had been hospitalized for scabies and fevers. Another wave of immigrants is set to arrive in Murrieta for processing on Friday, the Fourth of July.

Scabies is an itchy, highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation of the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. But the disease issue goes beyond lice and scabbies as these illegals are being often transported on airlines and buses used by other Americans. The risk of contamination from lice, scabbies and other infectious disease residues on seat backs is high. Fox News wrote an horrendous story about how medical workers at a Texas hospital are being threatened if they leak anything about the horrific condition these kids are in, and it’s all being levied on American taxpayers:

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans.

“There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested,” a psychiatric counselor told me. “We were under orders not to say anything.” The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the BCFS, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp.

 The sources say security forces called themselves the “Brown Shirts.” [a knowing reference to NAZI civilian thugs in Germany] “It was a very submissive atmosphere,” the counselor said. “Once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.” She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired. “Everyone was paranoid,” she said. “The [illegal] children had more rights than the workers.”

She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues. “It was not a good atmosphere in terms of health,” she said. “I would be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their hair.”

A former nurse at the camp told me she was horrified by what she saw. “We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,” she said. “We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”

 “When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted. “But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”

The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept “hush-hush.” The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes.

Finally, the staff of The Daily Bell commented on Obama being the key to all that is going wrong with America: President Obama has changed the way US citizens receive health care and now he is convulsing the nation’s southern border by deliberately abrogating its security. Love him or hate him, if Obama succeeds in changing US immigration policies, he should go down in history as one of the more effective and powerful presidents in US history.

But they are only partly right. He is not actually “the worst president in six decades.” Most recent presidents are puppets to an insidious globalist conspiracy of power to subvert liberty, culture, morality and national sovereignty—and that isn’t going away simply by electing another controlled Republican to office in 2016—who won’t undo any of what Obama has done.

They’ve killed over 162,000 Syrian civilians. And does anybody in America really care?”

“War is coming. I think the average American finds it difficult to believe that the same sort of devastating war that we’re seeing that  is destroying Syria, which is 3-4,000 years old. Look at the pictures of those cities over in Syria, which are being destroyed today. Remember, of course that your government is financing the Islamic terrorists that are killing the Christians, certainly, raping the Christian women, killing the little Christian children.

They’ve killed over 162,000 Syrian civilians. And does anybody in America really care? Well, I do. And I hope many of our listeners do.

And I hope that you understand that God is just, and certainly His justice will not sleep forever. I think He’s going to bring judgment on America — not because what our good people are doing. It’s just because they’re so busy having the good life. They’re not involved in what’s going on.

And of course, they’ve changed the music. They’ve changed the message of our Christian churches.

And the Christian churches, rather than taking a stand against these terrible things that are happening, and the terrible atrocities that we are funding throughout the world, where they’re killing civilians. We’re funding it with our tax money. Why, of course, the church is silent, absolutely silent.

ANALYZING THE PROMOTERS OF DOLLAR COLLAPSE

The number of voices calling for a collapse of the dollar is reaching a crescendo and I’m compelled to do a detailed analysis to keep my readers from panicking. No, I’m not saying everything is fine. It isn’t, but you have to understand both the power and the intent of the Powers That Be to see why they aren’t intentionally trying to pull the plug on the economy. In fact they show every sign of trying to keep things afloat with continual bailouts, but without causing hyperinflation. I’ll cover three of the most prominent purveyors of the dollar collapse scenarios:

Porter Stansbury: Stansbury runs an investment advisory company and he’s flooding the internet with the claim that one particular bill signed by Congress is going to collapse the dollar. The bill is H.R. 2847, the Hire Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, which is a real bill that was signed into law in 2010. But it’s not the hiring incentives that are the threat, he says, but the evil provision that was tacked onto the bill called the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.”

This portion of the bill is a problem and is known as FATCA. It is an extension of the ongoing program of the feds to pressure offshore financial institutions to provide a 1099 form to the Internal Revenue Service for their American customers, hence revealing secret foreign bank accounts and dinging America tax evaders with huge tax bills. The Hill.com gave this summary:

Under FATCA, banks will be forced to submit information on total assets, account balances, transactions, account numbers and other personal identifying information. This intrusion goes way beyond a 1099 and would not be accepted or tolerated by Americans living in United States… Noncompliance will result in huge financial penalties and sanctions to the foreign financial institutions.

Various experts can only guess how much extra revenue will be brought in by exposing undeclared foreign accounts, from between $210B to $800Billion over ten years.

Stansbury is claiming, among other things, that this will cause a run away from the dollar, because the new reporting requirements will cause everyone to pull out their dollars and dump them. Frankly, there aren’t but a small percentage of Americans that have illegal offshore accounts, so I think this is merely a sales gimmick aimed at driving people to his investment company to save them. As the Hill reported,

It is not really known what ramifications this law will have on U.S. residents with funds in foreign banks or if foreign banks will cooperate with the law… US demands on foreign banks to provide client information may violate their own country’s laws and constitutions.

The next is David Morgan, an investment expert in silver, which he promotes. These kinds of advisors do have a financial agenda that may partially skew their ability to see the broader picture, even though they are all more or less in the free-market camp. Morgan is following the lead of others in claiming some “black swan” event (once in a blue moon catastrophe) without providing any details of what would have to happen specifically for the dollar to collapse. Greg Hunter of USAwatchdog.com comments favorably on Morgan’s claims:

Silver expert David Morgan is warning of coming financial changes that may be forced on the U.S. during the next G20 meeting. Morgan says, “The impetus here is the U.S. has had too much financial power backed by the military for far too long, and they (G20) are going to implement change one way or the other.

But Morgan has absolutely no evidence to back up this claim. How are the G20 going to be able to force economic changes upon the US or other member countries? In the 2012 letter to all G20 participants from the Financial Stability Board (FSB), there is clearly no implied force in the recommendations: Ultimately, implementation is the responsibility of your jurisdictions.

Here’s what the globalist Financial Stability Board is suggesting:

1) Ending Too-Big-To Fail (which may involve some shared pain by depositors, as in Cyprus).

2) Strengthening oversight and regulation of shadow banking (good luck shutting down secret banking).

3) Increased regulation of the derivatives markets (very important but difficult to get the big banks to even put up a fraction of the $500T they contract for in derivative contracts). That much money doesn’t even existing in current markets.

4) Increasing the capacity, resources and power of the FSB (more power to the international financial regulator scheme—a predecessor to a Global Government).

Realistically, all other nations have as many problems curtailing deficit spending and speculation as does the US, so this reform can’t be targeting only the US dollar. There simply isn’t the political will to do any of these reforms democratically, so this threat is bogus. However, these kinds of quasi-international reforms are a warm-up exercise for full globalism when it arrives.

The IMF is basically an extension of the United States. Even though it’s called the International Monetary Fund, it is really U.S. based. With what’s been proposed here, the IMF is not going to have the clout that it once did because the G-20 is going to be able to overrule the IMF vote… 19 out of the G20 are saying we are mad as hell and we are not going to take anymore. You get it together or we are going to get it together for you. [There’s absolutely no backing for that statement. Not a single country I know of is saying this because they are ALL in worse shape than the US, except for Switz.].

Even if it had the power to control the IMF, the IMF doesn’t ever vote on anything targeting the US. Rather, it is marching to a globalist agenda to control other countries via loans. Why should that change? The G20, the pro-communist BRICS countries are all in favor of giving more money to other countries.

Morgan goes on to say, “For years and years, decades, the United States has exported their inflation because it’s a reserve currency, and we have the ability to just print at will. [Not really. There are internal restraints on the FED to keep inflation within certain limits.] We have pushed the U.S. dollar overseas, into Japan, into China, into Europe, all over the world, and now these dollars could be repatriated. . . .

The reason we haven’t seen inflation is those dollars have not been spent. [Half right. Perhaps only 50% of the cash is being held out of circulation in mattresses or hiding places. The rest is being circulated.] This would portend ‘I need to get out of the dollar and buy tangible assets.’ [The fact that those dollars are “not being spent” as he claims is absolutely no justification for concluding, “I need to get out of the dollar.” People are hoarding dollars because their own currencies are unstable. The drive to get rid of dollars could only happen if the dollar was being inflated a lot faster than other currencies relative to its base which is currently not the case].

This would be an impetus for these countries that don’t need dollars anymore. [There are very few in this category. China is the main one because they have too many dollars, not because they don’t need some dollars] If I don’t need these dollars and I don’t settle oil in dollars, it’s not the supreme currency. [Yes, but those who have taken themselves out of the dollar markets constitute less than 15% of the international economy—not that big. The US alone is half the dollar economy and that’s not going to go away.]

I need to get out of it.’ If that mindset takes hold widespread, [Well, give me a rational reason for how all other countries that want dollars now would suddenly want to get rid of them?] you could see the dollar dive in value against other currencies… If that were to take place, you could see a huge change virtually overnight.”

IF, IF, IF… give me some substance. Only the FED pulling back the money supply in a major way or hyperinflation could do this and we see no sign of either. Morgan thinks the world knows the dollar is in trouble. He contends, “Everyone wants to pretend that everything is OK, but [once] people say I’m out, the dollar is toast. Once that mindset takes place, it could catch fire.. It’s unlikely, but you cannot rule it out [that’s a big change of wording from the previous paragraph where he was claiming it was imminent].. . Something is going to take place this year that will have such an impact. [What, pray tell? Be specific—even a guess would help us judge how you are thinking.]

On silver, Morgan says, “The rush into gold is basically nation states, true, but the rush into silver is basically ‘the people,’ [Not at all, it’s industry much more than people.]… Gold has always been nation state to nation state settlement. . . . What will happen in my view, and this happened in late 1979 and 1980, is that people will catch on quickly. They will see what’s happening in gold and they will say ‘I can’t afford gold at $2,500 an ounce or $3,000,’ and they’ll say ‘I’m going to buy silver.’ [Nothing new here. It’s been that way ever since gold went over $500, and it hasn’t appreciably changed the gold silver price ratio].

There will be a rush into gold and then silver like you have never seen before… You will either have it or you don’t.” What are Morgan’s price targets? Morgan says, “I am on the record that silver will hit $100 an ounce, and that may be conservative [It should go that high, but it won’t while the money powers are still manipulating the silver markets]. I don’t think we need to focus on the paper price but the value of silver relative to the market.

You do need to focus on the paper markets, since that is where the manipulation of the market is happening. No predictions about the upside potential for gold and silver have any validity unless he addresses the downward suppression of Gold and Silver by paper futures contracts that rarely demand delivery. He’s right about fundamental pressures to go up, but please tell us how anyone can predict when the money powers are going to stop manipulating the price through paper contracts. Without that key, his prediction means nothing. I fully expect the pressure on silver and gold to keep going in the upward direction, but the financial powers have still got a lot of monetary muscle to keep it from rising to the level it should.

Another financial author, James Rickards (Currency Wars) has come out with another book expanding on the same theme. It’s called “The Death of Money” and he too is shouting “collapse, collapse, collapse.” It’s too bad the book is marred by this hype about collapse. The book actually has some excellent analysis of the global economy, but he draws the wrong conclusions from true facts, as I will explain shortly.

James Rickards says that the “international monetary system is headed for a collapse…. The international monetary system actually has collapsed three times in the past 100 years. It collapsed in 1914. It collapsed in 1939, and it collapsed in 1971.”

He’s obviously overusing the word collapse. None of those three examples was a true collapse and his dates don’t really correspond to the big financial problems of the era, which do include some limited collapses.

His first two collapse dates (1914 and 1939) were war years and war did destabilize the financial world, but it didn’t cause a collapse. Besides, the entire world system was in a financial funk all during 1929-1940 due to the US stock market crash (caused by the FED), and the hyperinflation of Weimar Germany (where there was a true collapse of the German Mark) but it wasn’t an international collapse. Collapse is far too excessive of a word for what Rickards is describing and I object to it strongly.

In addition, there was no collapse in 1971—simply anger over the US reneging on its promise to redeem dollars in gold. The other nations with large dollar reserves did NOT dump dollars, any more than the Chinese are dumping US bonds today—lest the price drop dramatically before they can unload their stash. They are selling slowly, and the dollar still retains a great deal of value relative to other currencies because all nations have inflated currencies, and the choice between them is only relative—especially now that the absolute value of gold and silver has been somewhat disconnected from the markets through downward manipulation.

In point of fact, economies NEVER collapse to zero because people simply move into survival mode. They never completely give up and stop trying, except during the ravages of war when people get driven out of their homes and businesses. Government money in a few countries has collapsed from hyperinflation, but even that takes a special set of circumstances that is hard to come by in modern Western economies, as I have previously explained in the WAB.

Rickards contends, “What I do for the reader is explain why the collapse is coming and, secondly, describe what this new system might look like. That should be very helpful to investors in preparing to both survive the collapse and be well positioned in terms of wealth preservation under the new system that’s coming.

In his suggested fix, he talks about IMF special drawing rights with partial gold backing and redeemability in combination with a mix of fiat currencies. That’s not a good fix. Any formula which gives fiat currencies any place at the table with gold redeemable options will ensure that governments will take advantage of the money creation option and avoid gold payouts like the plague.

Rickards, in my opinion, has way too much confidence in government’s willingness to abide by the limits he suggests. He clearly lacks an understanding of corrosive effects of socialism which dominate every nation on earth and which drive political promises.

Neither will they do the right thing based upon sound economics or the “common good.” For this reason, he does recognize that his system of reform won’t satisfy the Austrian School (the true free market theory) of economic thinkers like Mises and Hayek:

Austrian School supporters of a traditional gold standard [100% backing with redeemability in a fixed amount of gold per bill] are unlikely to endorse this new [his] gold standard because it has fractional, even variable gold backing [and allows a mix of fiat currencies to be intermingled with gold backing]. The conspiracy-minded are also unlikely to support it because it is global and has the feel of a New World Order.

That distrust is merited, due to the conspiratorial nature and evil conduct of the globalists who promote the New World Order.

Even the milder critics will point out that this system depends completely on promises by governments, and such promises have consistently been broken in the past. Yet it has the virtue of practicality; it could actually get done.

If it was accepted it would be because those who would agree to it would see that it still contains the allowance for fiat expansion of the money supply without the constraints of 100% commodity backing. But, just because it “works” doesn’t mean it is honest or fair to all.

The reason the gold redeemability standard of the Bretton Woods agreement didn’t hold is that it didn’t really prohibit the FED from printing more currency than the redeemability of the gold clause could supply. It simply relied on the US promise to redeem at a fixed price, with the implied threat of default that would follow any indiscriminate money creation without a concomitant increase in the gold supply. The rest of the world failed to figure on US perfidy and the inevitable future default on their gold obligations which came in 1971.

The promise of gold redeemability is the real thing that promoted the dollar as a reserve currency, not some ethereal or general promise of gold backing by a central bank. Gold backing without redeemability is like loaning money to someone with a collateral guarantee but no provision for foreclosure upon default.

Interestingly enough, the US has only lost about 20% of its international reserve value since reneging on the gold contract in 1971 And that is because no other currency was offering redeemability in gold either. Relative to our current situation Rickards says,

Here we are, again, looking at another collapse… A paper money standard can work, but only if you maintain confidence in the money . . . and you do that by running a good economy and having a good business environment . . . we’re doing the opposite. We are printing a lot of money [so is everyone else]. We have a lousy business environment [so has everyone else]. Taxes are too high [ditto]. Growth is too low [ditto]. So, a lot of things are combining to undermine confidence in the dollar.

In his latest book, he documents similar problems with Russia, China, Brazil, India, Britain, and the EU, so why can’t he see that all these problems don’t point to a dollar collapse, but rather a downward spiral of all economies? Rickards goes on to say,

The last time the system collapsed in 2008, the Fed rescued it. [It didn’t collapse—only the mortgage-backed securities market collapsed and the housing market which dropped about 30%.] How did they do that? Well, we know the Fed printed over $3.5 trillion in new money in the last 5 years. The Fed’s balance sheet went from $800 billion to over $4 trillion [but that inflation of the money supply was less than 2% of US dollars outstanding—hardly hyperinflation].

He missed the biggest thing the FED did to bail out the economy—they bailed out AIG, the largest holder of derivative contracts (guaranteeing those mortgage-backed securities). This alone kept the derivatives bubble from collapsing, which would have taken down not only AIG but Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase. Here’s Rickard’s final warning:

When the next collapse comes, it is going to be bigger than the last one. It’s going to be exponentially bigger. The five biggest banks that were too big to fail in 2008, today they are bigger. They own a larger percentage of the total banking assets [including the FED itself, secretly]… the last crisis was barely enough for the Fed to contain. They have used up all their dry powder. They can’t take the balance sheet any higher. The Fed is insolvent… What are they going to do, take their balance sheet to $8 trillion and leverage 200 to 1? The game is up.

No, the game isn’t up and they haven’t used up all their powder. They can and show every sign of keeping real inflation below the 10% level, and if they do that it won’t turn into a hyperinflation scenario that he and others are touting:

Imagine gas at $20 a gallon and bread at $10. That’s what we’re talking about… When a collapse happens, it will happen quickly. You won’t see it coming. There won’t be time to run out and buy gold, and it probably will not even be available at that stage. You need to prepare now.”

–Not true at all. Inflation starts out slowly and then picks up speed. But before it becomes a rush, something very specific has to happen between government and consumers—income and salary raises have to become automatic and backed by government money.

Without these injection mechanisms from government you only get stagflation, not hyperinflation. If prices rose 50% suddenly as he claims, it would instantly stall the economy. As long as people don’t have a way to increase their income to match that level of inflation, they simply stop buying and the economy stops raising prices due to lack of demand. The only way hyperinflation can take hold is for government and business to start indexing people’s salaries to inflation so they can keep pace. Without it, there’s only stagflation.

In summary, Rickards is absolutely right that US debt is unsustainable and that it won’t ever be solved. But he is wrong about collapse being the only option. He fails to see they can prolong the time to a default for several more years until other events help them avoid the blame:

1) The US and the FED are NOT out of options and if they keep doing what they are doing (keeping inflation below 10%, manipulating the official inflation rate even lower, and artificially suppressing interest rates and the price of gold) they can prolong the inevitable default on US debt for a decade or more. They show every sign of doing just that, which he fails to recognize.

2) Rickards lists all the dire things that can bring down the dollar but he misses the biggest one of all. He fails to see the world war the globalists are preparing to bring down upon the world by inducing a nuclear strike on the US from Russia and China. This gives them not only an excuse to drive the West into a militarized global government and new world financial system, but helps them evade the blame for the inevitable debt collapse.

He writes as if the only threats are economic and I see that as his greatest failing, despite his otherwise erudite analysis—and he’s not alone. Most other “smart people” fail to see the world war that’s looming. But, with both Russia and China beginning to show their aggressive tendencies, you have to be willfully blind not to see this new threat emerging.

Dr. Stanley Monteith: REAL PURPOSE OF OUR MILITARY — “Why do we have our troops in 130 nations? Why do we have between 700 and 800 military bases throughout the world? … Not to protect America, but to push this idea of a WORLD GOVERNMENT … To SUPPRESS and CONTROL nations throughout the world”

“Why do we have our troops in 130 nations? Why do we have between 700 and 800 military bases throughout the world? Why do we have the largest military in the world, by far? Basically, this is not to protect America, but to push this idea of a world government. That is the real purpose of our military — not to defend America. It is to suppress and certainly control nations throughout the world. That’s what we’re doing.”

The Ukraine Mess: Fact from Fiction

Supreme’s Decline to Aid German Homeschool Family on Asylum

Confirmation of My Take on Guzman Takedown

THE UKRAINE MESS: FACT FROM FICTION

The Ukraine conflict has reached such a level murkiness and complexity due to deception and misdirection by all the parties involved that deciphering the situation taxes even the most experienced of conspiracy analysts. A lot of mistaken conclusions are being presented by both major and alternative media. The Ukraine opposition has been infiltrated by both Western globalists and Russia-controlled sleepers, so it’s hard to tell who is directing what. Russia is claiming that those providing “security” for the airports and major bases in Crimea are just “local militia”, but why do they wear masks and uniforms without insignias, and drive Special Forces vehicles with Russian tags? Supposedly, pro-Russian oligarches in official positions in eastern Ukraine have been replaced with pro-western oligarches, but all the “Post-Soviet” oligarches have been allies of the continuing Soviet leadership (who still run the show behind the scenes), why should we expect these new ones to be any different? This week, I’ll try and help readers figure out what real and what’s fake.

Let’s start with Russian President Putin’s press conference this week where he stated, “It was an unconstitutional overthrow and an armed seizure of power.”

First, every coup is an unconstitutional action—that’s a given—but it was Putin’s own pro-Russian majority party in Ukraine (Regions Party) that voted almost unanimously for Yanukovych’s ouster and the coup couldn’t have taken place without their wholesale agreement. So, if Putin is really complaining about the unconstitutional coup he has only his own lackeys to blame. As I said last week, the opposition could never have forced most of the Regions’ delegates to go along with the ouster—only Putin’s orders could have done that.

Second, if it was an “armed seizure of power,” where were the arms? Only the Berkut (Ukraine’s special police) and the regular police had any quantity of armed personnel and they were under the control of Yanukovych right up to the phony coup. The opposition may have had a few dozen hunting weapons but that isn’t enough for an armed seizure of power. As I pointed out last week, someone had to give the order to cause the armed forces to stand down—and that couldn’t have been the opposition.

Further, despite Putin’s rhetoric, this isn’t going to escalate into a world war with the West because 1) Russia isn’t ready to take on the West militarily and 2) the US and EU have showed no inclination to send in military forces as a counter force in Crimea, thus denying Russia any excuse to attack the West. How could Putin excuse attacking the West and starting WWIII if the West isn’t contesting his actions in Ukraine with anything other than weak rhetoric and tepid sanctions?

The US has made some token military moves. They moved six fighters to Poland, a frigate into the Black sea, and redeployed a Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response team to Spain. Even Russia’s claim to have authorized an invasion hasn’t amounted to anything except a few hundred Special Forces at best, and the repositioning of a few ships to the black sea.

Both sides are engaged in a symbolic show of force to probe how the other will react. For instance, after US fighters arrived in Poland, Russia began an air defense drill in response. Russia’s only direct confrontation inside Crimea with Ukrainian military was the shooting of a few rounds over the heads Ukrainian soldiers at a military base to test control.

Rumors that the Russian 20th and 48th armies are getting ready to invade Eastern Ukraine have not materialized. They may be drawing up contingency plans, as usual, but there have been no large troop movements of any kind. On the Ukrainian side, the provisional government mobilized troops and called up military reservists, but there is no corresponding movement of troops to indicate a direct confrontation with Russian forces. I think it is clear that neither side wants a shooting war over this, yet.

I watched with interest to see how fellow anti-globalists like Paul Craig Roberts and Paul Joseph Watson would react to my arguments that the coup in Ukraine was done by Putin and not by the globalists. Roberts, in particular, has been painting Putin as the victim of Western globalist aggression, a mistaken analysis, though he is correct in thinking that the globalists are predators with their own agenda. This week, Roberts was predicting this could lead to a nuclear war with Russia, showing he doesn’t yet understand what criteria, on both sides, have to be in place for that to happen.

He fails to realize that the globalist objective is not to push Russia out of Ukraine, but to provoke a long-term conflict there to help usher in World War III and ultimately stampede Americans into forming a militarized global government in response. But even the globalists have to wait until Russia and China make the big move. They can’t push so hard that it looks like the West is starting the war with Russia.

Paul Joseph Watson had a chance to respond to my claims on Monday during a show on the Alex Jones channel (Alex interviewed me and my point of view last Friday). The host mentioned that “we heard from Joel Skousen this week” that the evidence pointed to the pro-Russian forces being responsible for the coup. Watson, who does a great job pulling together the news stories for Infowars.com each week, responded by saying he disagreed and then proceeded to recite the evidence of Western influence and money on the opposition. But this misses the point.

I have never disputed that there is Western meddling in the Ukraine opposition, but this alone cannot and does not explain the coup. Watson never addressed my arguments that only pro-Russian forces could have ordered the defense forces to stand-down, or ordered the Regions Party to vote against Yanukovych.

Western meddling did and continues to occur, but it alone can’t explain the stand-down order and the too-good-to-be-true unanimous vote of the Regions Party, which hated the opposition, in favor of the ouster. Pro-Russian leaders wouldn’t have pulled this phony coup were they not in control of the opposition leaders, who are only playing along with the West so the West gets the blame when austerity measures and other problems become unpopular.

The Sniper Claim: This week, those who blame the coup entirely on Western intervention have a new argument that they say surely proves their point. Officers of Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) loyal to the ousted President Viktor Yanukovych hacked phones of Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet speaking with EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton. This was said 8 minutes into the conversation: [my comments in brackets]

Paet: “All the evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers from both sides, policemen and people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides. … Some photos that showed it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it is really disturbing that now the new coalition they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened [this latter point may be evidence of a cover up but it doesn’t tell us anything about who is covering for whom. If the new opposition government is a phony opposition sleeper for Russia, as I claim, then it could just as well be covering for a pro-Russian sniper doing the false-flag shooting]. So there is now stronger and stronger understanding [he’s not fluent in English. The more correct word, given that he doesn’t really know is “suspicion”] that behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition.” [Saying “somebody” shows that he doesn’t know and the people who talked to him don’t know—they, being from Regions Party, are assuming it’s the opposition. And, most of them may not actually know who is pulling the strings on the opposition. In fact, that is likely, so that the truth doesn’t leak out.]

Ashton: “I think we do want to investigate. I mean, I didn’t pick that up, that’s interesting. Gosh.” [indicates that 1) she wasn’t aware of any refusal to investigate and 2) that she is willing to investigate]

Paet (in an earlier part of the conversation): “[There is] no trust of the opposition, have dirty past.[true] I was talking to Regions (party)... “tremendous pressure on party members, univited visitors during the night, one parliament member beaten on the street by an armed group…[but only after they had voted for the ouster, proving that someone got to them before these obvious threats were made (for public consumption)] Opposition will not leave the streets until real reform happens [the real opposition members are different from the public opposition leaders, who are always created and directed by the powers behind the scene, just as in Moscow]—not enough to have a change of government.

Analysis: First of all, none of this conversation provides any definitive evidence justifying his pointing the finger at the opposition. What Paet says is clearly third hand information, first, from pro-Russian contacts in the SBU, and then to members of the pro-Russian Regions party who were feeding this info to Paet. We are left to presume the SBU extracted and compared the bullets killing the various protestors and police. But there are various levels of bullet analysis and his weak English recitation of facts is clearly insufficient to tell us what specifically was investigated.

But even if the Security Services did get a specific bullet match to a single rifle, it tells us nothing about who was behind the rifle and who he (or they) worked for. Until you find the shooter(s), which won’t happen unless someone on the inside talks, you have no evidence sufficient to blame one side or the other.

The Crimean conflict: Let’s now look at Putin’s claims justifying Russian aggression in Crimea and how he’s going to push these claims to his advantage (working off the list put together by the US State Dept):

1) That Russian forces in Crimea are only acting to protect Russian military assets.

That’s hard to justify. There never was any threat to Russian bases by the provisional Ukrainian government. In fact, Putin made his move before the new government was even a day old. You don’t restructure a government in that amount of time—which means that essentially, the same people are running the bureaucracy and military that was there during Yanukovych’s reign.

2) That “citizen defense” groups, not Russian forces, seized infrastructure and military facilities and who are rushing to lock down Crimea for Russia.

Not true. They may wear uniforms without insignia, but their vehicles have Russian military license plates and the types of vehicles are used exclusively by Russian Special Forces. Moreover, the kinds of automatic weapons being used are not available to civilians.

3) Mr. Putin claims that Russia’s actions fall within the scope of the 1997 Friendship Treaty between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

Yes, but the 1997 agreement requires Russia to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Russia’s military actions in seizing control of Ukrainian military bases and civilian airports is clearly a violation of the agreement.

4) That the opposition failed to implement the February 21 agreement with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, which opposition leaders signed.

Opposition leaders say that they were in the process of following through and that Yanukovych was to sign the legislation taking Ukraine back to the Constitution of 2004 within 24 hours and bring the crisis to a peaceful conclusion. But Yanukovych (on the orders of someone) fled the country and did not sign. Naturally, Putin’s initial claim that Yanukovych is still the legitimate leader of Ukraine is also faltering. Putin now admits that there is no going back to Yanukovych, saying he “has no political future.”

5) That there is a humanitarian crisis and hundreds of thousands are fleeing Ukraine to Russia and seeking asylum.

Not true. There has been no action taken against the Russian speaking people, so why should they flee. The only people who claim to be threatened were members of the Regions party, and we suspect that’s only political theater to help justify why they suddenly switched their votes, without naming who gave them the orders. There is absolutely no evidence a flood of asylum-seekers fleeing Ukraine for Russia or “mass attacks on churches and synagogues in southern and eastern Ukraine,” either.

6) Putin claims that the Rada is under the influence of extremists or terrorists.

Yes, everyone is playing the Right-wing threat card. The Svoboda (Freedom) party is the only “far right wing ultranationalist group” that has published photographs of members wearing Nazi symbols or giving the Nazi salute. Normal, credible people don’t do this. Virtually every neo-Nazi group in the world that I have examined is run by or funded by government agents to give the right wing a bad name. Either Russia or the West could be behind promoting Neo Nazis—Russia to denigrate the opposition or the West to denigrate the most libertarian of opposition factions that they can’t control—by linking them in people’s mind with Nazism.

Besides the Russian military takeover of Crimea, the key move by Russia is to push for the appearance of a public demand for autonomy for Crimea. Russia used its influence to have a pro-Russian leader elected to the head of the Crimea regional government this week, who then got the Crimean parliament to declare its intent to become part of Russia by scheduling a vote on the issue set for March 16.

There will only be two options for voting: 1) merging Crimea with Russia or 2) restoring the 1992 Crimean Constitution, whereby the peninsula would remain an autonomous republic within Ukraine. There is no third option for voting for independence. Neither the globalists nor Russia want anyone to be independent anymore.

The West is verbally adamant against allowing Russia to merge Crimea within its borders, even though it has made no claims of military options to prohibit such a move. Even arch globalist Henry Kissinger emerged to write an op-ed piece in the Washington Post urging, in typically euphemistic language, that the West continue to placate Russia while encouraging compromise within Ukraine—in other words, stretch out the issue into the future.

Wise Ukrainian leaders would then opt for a policy of reconciliation between the various parts of their country. Internationally, they should pursue a posture comparable to that of Finland. That nation leaves no doubt about its fierce independence and cooperates with the West in most fields but carefully avoids institutional hostility toward Russia. [This policy is called Finlandization–exchanging superficial liberty for non-criticism of Russian dominance]

But in no case was Crimea to be allowed to go to Russia:

It is incompatible with the rules of the existing world order for Russia to annex Crimea. But it should be possible to put Crimea’s relationship to Ukraine on a less fraught basis. To that end, Russia would recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty over Crimea. Ukraine should reinforce Crimea’s autonomy in elections held in the presence of international observers. The process would include removing any ambiguities about the status of the Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol.

As I said last week, this policy will not solve the tensions, but will ensure they can be shifted into the future when Russia is militarily able to take on the West and reabsorb by force all of the former Soviet states.

Earlier, Ukraine’s interim president met with leaders in France on Wednesday and strongly down-played any prospect of war with Russia—sending a message that there will be no military confrontation. The Franco-German plan for Ukraine is one that hopes to stabilize the current conflict and yet not resolve it in the long term. According to French foreign minister Fabius:

It envisages a national unity government, a pullback of Russian forces, the dissolution of extremist militias and moves to organize a presidential election as quickly as possible.

President Barack Obama said the Crimea referendum is illegal: “Any discussion about the future of Ukraine must include the legitimate government… In 2014 we are well beyond the days when borders can be drawn over the heads of democratic leaders.”

Obama’s words are a violation of the spirit of the Declaration of Independence (1776), which clearly says that people have the right, without permission of government, to declare their independence when their fundamental rights are being violated and when petitions for redress have been ignored. It’s disturbing when the presumed leader of the free world denies the political justification for independence.

Secretary of State Kerry also had this little piece of hypocrisy to promote before leaving for Ukraine. Ben Swann hammered Kerry for telling NBC’s Meet The Press this week, “You just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests… This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It’s really 19th century behavior in the 21st century.”

Swann responds,

Seriously? This from the same Secretary of State who pushed for the U.S. to fire cruise missiles on Damascus because of sarin gas that he “knew” was used by the Syrian government but later turned out could have been used by so called “rebels”? This statement from the same government that went to war in Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist. That kind of phony pretext?

Indeed! Gross hypocrisy.

Sanctions: Secretary of State John Kerry said in Kiev that the US and other Western nations are considering economic sanctions against Russia, including seizing of foreign bank assets and cutting off trade. Kerry said,

“every single one of them are prepared to go to the hilt in order to isolate Russia with respect to this invasion. They’re prepared to put sanctions in place, they’re prepared to isolate Russia economically.”

But so far, that hasn’t happened. Putin fired right back saying he would retaliate by cutting off gas supplies to the EU and stopping payment on all the money Western banks have loaned Russia. While many people are hyping the danger of Russia dumping US Treasuries, that’s not as much a threat to the US as the holder of bonds. Dumping causes the price to fall and the dumper loses more and more as he sells.

But Russia is tightly interlocked with Europe in trade and neither can afford trade sanctions. More than 70 percent of Russiás gas and oil flows to Europe pass through Ukraine, and Europe buys about 90 percent of Russiás oil exports. Stop buying Russian oil and such European gas prices skyrocket.

Then there’s the issue of natural gas. Germany gets 36% of its gas from Russia, the UK gets 25% from Russia, France about 15% from Russia and Italy, 27%. So total economic sanctions are a bluff. Neither side can afford them—and that is why Europe will never contest Russian aggression until it is too late, speaking of the long-term future.

Obama, rather than backing down on foolish sanctions, is playing a phony trump card: executive sanctions of a minor order: This week he announced that the Treasury Department will impose sanctions on “individuals and entities” responsible for Russia’s military takeover in Crimea or for “stealing the assets of the Ukrainian people.” That little stunt avoids targeting Russia while still appearing to be tough.

Obama also got the EU to announce the freeze of the assets of Mr. Yanukovych and of 17 of his closest aides and family members, holding them responsible for the embezzlement of state fund. He should also have included many wealthy opposition leaders like Yulie Tymoshenko who has embezzled millions in state funds as well.

US former Sec of Defense Robert Gates, who also headed the CIA, and is a globalist said that Putin “knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s trying to re-establish Russian influence and a measure of control over the former states of the Soviet Union.”

And, that’s exactly what the globalist knew he would do sometime after the phony fall of the Soviet Union, which they helped promulgate by not exposing what a sham it was.

Here are some excerpts from a quote from J R Nyquist on the overall nature of the deceptive fall of Communism and how it relates to Ukraine:

The KGB of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics relied on Tsarist methods of controlled opposition and networks of secret agents, many of whom pretended to be enemies of the government.

Because of the KGB’s ability to infiltrate Moscow’s opposition, all revolutions or political changes in former East Bloc countries are a puzzle [I claim they are a fraud]. We can never be sure who has actually won until we see, after time has passed, whether power has really changed hands; that is, whether the old Communist elite remains in charge of the army and police, the media and economic system, and key government posts.[and that is exactly what has happened in all the “former” Soviet satellite states] The analysis here is simple to do, but nobody in the West tries doing it. There is no career advancement in such analysis, especially in Western countries where the powers-that-be hear what they want to hear, and blot out the rest.

Sadly, Nyquist steadfastly refuses to believe there is a conspiracy in government and the media to blot out these truths—preferring to believe it is mere stupidity and the work of Communist infiltrators that explains all US foreign policy failures relative to communism. But he does agree with me here:

Therefore, the Soviet Empire remains intact through the operation of hidden structures. KGB-controlled opposition was the story in 1989 and 1991. It has always been the untold story. It will continue to be untold until the hidden Soviet Union is taken down, at long last. I have spoken to schoolmates of Vaclav Havel who described him as the perfect instrument of the Communist state – as a fake dissident and a man who could be trusted by the KGB. In 1992 a Fighting Solidarity leader told me that Lech Walesa was a long-time stooge of the Polish secret police. Since that time Walesa’s secret police codename (BOLEK) has been published

Nyquist has good insights into who’s fake and who’s real in the Ukraine opposition:

Who is on Moscow’s team in Kiev? Most of the parliament, for starters [including the major opposition leaders]; Yulia Tymoshenko in particular; the heads of the security services and military, excepting all those who are secretly working with the Ukrainian underground.

To know that there is a powerful underground movement,[in Ukraine] with its own tentacles burrowed into Moscow, is not mere optimism. The Ukrainians were Soviets, and as such they had access to the same game the Russians were playing on them. Ukrainians have experience, access, and a motivation for playing the Russians at their own game.

My only reservation about Nyquist’s claim about the strength of the Ukraine undergroundf is that these former Soviet Ukrainian insiders were mostly corrupt and are not inclined to help out real liberty as they are inclined to stay within the corrupt, but hidden, continuing Soviet system. Some of them became wealthy oligarches and took their corruption to the next higher level. Undoubtedly, there are a few principled people who are working the underground, but I doubt Nyquist’s claim that they have much ability to infiltrate back up the chain into Moscow. Evil can smell goodness and root them out, much easier than good people can see through evil masquerading as good. So I believe the true underground is small in number and weak.

The Kremlin has many weapons, many agents, and many deceptions at its command. A former socialist country must, in itself, resemble a “wilderness of mirrors.” The Communists like to confuse the political process in every country. This also applies to Germany, part of which was also a “Communist Country” (i.e., the German Democratic Republic). If we hear that (the conservative) German Chancellor Angela Merkel is now eager to meet with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who has recently been let out of prison, we must first reckon with Merkel’s Communist past before we reckon with Tymoshenko’s role as Moscow’s little helper; for both women have a peculiar relationship to Moscow which extends far back in time. [true]

A German journalist recently wrote to me about Merkel, saying that German intelligence attempted to warn the Christian Democrats that Merkel was “a dangerous person.” But the Christian Democrats didn’t listen, and now Germany is more dependent on Russian natural gas than ever before.

But like Marxist Tony Blair, who switched sides and became a globalist, it is very possible that Merkel has switched sides too. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t switch back again if the Soviets win the next war, but I think she knows they won’t—that Russia is being set up to be taken down in the next war. China will become the new hegemon and cold war enemy of the global government.

I had the chance to speak with Ukrainian activist Boris Chykulay , who explained the situation as follows: “Instinctively people know that they fight against a hidden USSR. You can see this in all the cities now with the fall of so many Lenin monuments.” [few Ukrainians see through the phony fall of Communism, but they hate Russian dominance past and present, which accounts for pulling down the memories of Soviet rule]

“The problem we now face,” Chykulay said, “is that Putin merely says goodbye to Mafiosi Yanukovych. Now he starts to work with normal agents .” [the controlled opposition] As another activist added, the politicians who are now coming forward to direct affairs are former Soviet Komsomol leaders (now in parliament), the most committed Communists of the old system. These are not democrats by any stretch of the imagination. According to Chykulay, these “normal Soviet agents” are telling the Maidan protestors to go home. The revolution has been won.

“They are trying to keep the old system, without any… changes, they want to close the case,” he explained. “Russia will try to control Ukraine through its old network; through Yulia Tymoshenko and others. She said, ‘Dear Ukrainians, I won’t let the government hurt you anymore.’ So you see, they already describe the Ukrainian government as something separate from the Ukrainian people. She doesn’t say the Ukrainians have any part in the government. They want to save the hidden Soviet structures. The Ukrainians are therefore told, in all seriousness, ‘you won’t be attacked.’”

Is there danger of Ukraine coming under direct attack? Could the Russians intervene with troops? Chykulay responds, “Yes, Western Ukraine is a potential target,” Chykulay replied. “They will say the people in Lviv are fascists, and they will depict the Ukrainians as right wing extremists.” The Kremlin has, indeed, threatened to invade any former Soviet country where the rights of the local Russian-speaking minority are not respected.

The Kremlin has many devices, and many tricks to play before things reach such an extremity… There is a cautious optimism on the part of Ukrainian activists. Previous attempts at freedom have been thwarted, it is true, but Maidan has good tactics and refuses to be fooled by Kremlin stooges. A Ukrainian analyst explained it thus: “As it happens, the people will not accept the leaders’ attempts to wiggle out. This morning Maidan had a massive meeting about Tymoshenko. They called it an ‘action meeting’ which was held against the return of Tymoshenko to politics. If she comes back, they said, the gangster clan will take over and nothing will change. They are demanding a total reset.”

Nyquist’s closing statement is optimistic:

The anti-Communist counter-revolution in Ukraine grows in power. Moscow sends its puppets into the meat-grinder. One is chewed up after another. Which will emerge as the new leader? Perhaps the controlled opposition game has exhausted its possibilities in Ukraine.

I’m not as optimistic. The opposition is weak and tired of being out in the cold. They may see through Tymoshenko, but if so, the Russians will keep searching until they find a believable opposition puppet. After all, like US conservatives, the Powers That Be know that in a democracy, the opposition has “no other place to go” than to vote for people the PTB allow to be elected.

Summary: I’m still convinced it’s too early for Russia to go to war with the West, so this situation will not trigger WWIII, but the Crimean referendum will surely tend toward cementing Russia’s claim to hold power there. By occupying Crimea, Putin will make sure that only Western Ukraine can negotiate with the EU in the future, and with Russian troops in Crimea, Ukraine won’t be able to join NATO.

The EU is already cementing ties with Western Ukraine by offering a $15B loan. It won’t even come close to solving Ukraine’s bankrupt status, but it will provide the excuse for closer ties and continuing bailouts and austerity measures that will eventually boost EU/Russian tensions.

I’m betting that the result of the Crimea election will be a semi-autonomous republic rather than leaving Ukraine. Secession would tend to force Ukraine’s hand militarily—which they cannot hope to win. It also makes a peaceful resolution much more difficult without losing face. But either way, there won’t be war in the near term.

The globalist agenda of further dealings with Russia, including disarmament, will be severely hampered if Russia gets too aggressive in taking back the Russian-speaking areas. Then again, I’ve known the globalists to turn a blind eye to much worse than this (savage suppression of the Hungarian revolution) and resume aid and trade with Russia, given enough time to let the public forget. Trouble is, there isn’t a lot of time left before the big confrontation that awaits us.

Lastly, if you want to know why the Ukrainians hate the Russians, watch this excellent video on YouTube about how Stalin systematically starved 7 million people in Ukraine. Horrific story.

WITH GROWING RUSSIAN MISSILE THREAT, US STILL DISARMING

It is ironic that Russia is relatively open about its military modernization. Most of today’s sources are from the “Voice of Russia,” which used to be called Radio Moscow. Although it would be naive to assume that they are telling all, it does prove my point that the US intelligence agencies are desperately trying to downplay these advances and future threats. These agencies won’t even comment on what the Russians blatantly broadcast to the world (which our media omits as well).

I think that’s because the globalists who control our government intend to continue unilateral disarmament, which I’ll cover shortly. First here’s the latest arms build-up revelation from Voice of Russia.

Russia will have built a new heavy liquid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile by late 2018, a missile that will prove largely superior to all of its predecessors, including the world’s most powerful strategic missile Voyevoda, (NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan), in terms of combat effectiveness and the ability to penetrate the US missile defense system.

The US spent a lot of taxpayer money dismantling some of Russia’s old SS-18 missiles, (and handing back all the warheads to Russia) but only until Russia backed out of the deal last year and announced it was keeping the rest of the SS-18’s on station. That’s why this new missile is being built—to provide a replacement for these aging but powerful launch vehicles, and to provide a faster boost phase that is intended to outrun US solid fueled ABM missiles.

This came in a statement for journalists by the Commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces Sergei Karakayev. He pointed out that it is the deployment of the US global missile defence system, a system that grows more powerful each year that prompted Russia to think of counteraction. The missile defence system that the United States plans to deploy in Europe will be able to intercept Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles, deployed in European Russia.

The US claims the European antimissile system is designed to counter Iran’s missile threat, but Russia exposed US perfidy by offering the US a base in southern Russia closer to Iran and the US refused. Russia is the only country in Europe with ICBMs, so it rightly assumes the ABMs are aimed at them. ICBMs and submarine-based ballistic missiles are the backbone of Russia’s nuclear forces. Russia says their missiles are for “containment” of the US, but we know they are preparing for a nuclear first strike on America.

Russia is in full development of missiles capable of evading the US anti-missile defense system—which isn’t hard to do since the US ABM missiles have no warhead. The kinetic tip must make physical contact with the incoming missile to kill it, and that is extremely hard to do at the hypersonic speed of reentry. Here’s Voice of Russia again on the subject:

Under any possible scenario the Russian Strategic Missile Forces will be capable to withstand the potential of any missile defense system and to ensure fulfillment of tasks, Sergei Karakayev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces, has told today.

The only way a ballistic missile warhead can evade is to maneuver, and you need rocket boosters to be integrated into the warhead to do that. That turns each warhead into a small guided missile, and that makes them larger and heavier—hence the need for the new and improved liquid fueled ICBMs to replace the SS-18 remaining on station. Even if the resort to movable control surfaces, that would require a longer warhead with room for a power supply and controls. But control surfaces don’t do well under hypersonic speeds.

Another problem with these larger missiles is that they are not road mobile, but they can be carried on rail cars. Nobody depends on silos anymore except the US—because they want the enemy to know where our missiles are. The US is engaging in nuclear suicide.

According to Colonel-General Karakaev, the Russian Strategic Missile Forces has six types of missile launches, both stationary and mobile, including the fifth generation Yars and Topol-M launchers, in arsenal. Karakaev noted that effectiveness of any strike force suggests a sustainable resistance to any outer impact, including a nuclear one.

The Forces account for two thirds of Russia’s nuclear weapons. Possessing a big arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles, they are capable of hitting any target anywhere in the world with pinpoint accuracy.

Their arsenal consists of six missile types – three, based in silos, and three, mounted on rail platforms or trucks. Importantly, the US does not possess truck- or rail-mounted missiles.

Dr Igor Korotchenko is Editor-in-Chief of the Natsionalnaya Oborona, or National Defence, journal: The might of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces safeguards a secure future for our country. The latest addition to this might is the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, which can be positioned in a silo or on the back of a heavy truck. A missile of this type carries six independently targeted nuclear warheads of 150 kilotons TNT each. The Forces also possess another truck-mounted intercontinental missile, the Topol-M. It carries a single powerful nuclear warhead, which is capable of wiping out a megacity.

The Russians complain about the US backing out of the ABM treaty, which we should never have signed—since Russia never abandoned her arsenal of ABMs.

The Forces are taking on a new strategic dimension as the Americans, having withdrawn from the 1972 ABM limitation treaty, continue to refuse to extend binding guarantees that no US missile defense installation on European soil will compromise Russia’s deterrence capability. Powerful missiles capable of smashing through missile defenses are a guarantee in themselves.

But the Russian complaint conveniently omits telling that Russia backed out of the INF treaty (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) after it was found to be violating it, after the cold war ended (a carefully crafted deception). Russia never pulled their INF missiles out of Eastern Europe when the US destroyed its Pershing missiles, and the supposed anti-communist government of the Czech Republic never told the US the missiles were still there.

But with all this Russian cheating, the US steadfastly continues disarming as if it is required to by INF treaty that is already in shambles by Russia cheating. We are regaled almost weekly in the US by stories of Missiliers (Missile Launch Officers) moral being low, implicated in drugs scandals, and cheating on operational readiness exams. We are continually reminded how many billions are spent, hinting that this is a place to cut, now that the “cold war is over.”

Over 10 years, the estimated cost is $24 billion for ICBMs; $82 billion for nuclear submarines; and $40 million for nuclear bombers, as well as $11 billion for other activities, including DOD research related to nuclear forces that the Congressional Budget Office couldn’t directly attribute to one of the legs of the triad.Great Falls Tribune

Well, the cold war never was over and new a hot war is coming to this country, probably in the next decade. So, it’s no time to disarm, but that’s where we are headed. The Great Falls (MT) Tribune put out this little propaganda piece entitled: “Navy may reduce nuke numbers: Move would give ICBMs breathing room” The essence is that, “if the Navy gives up some of their submarine missiles, the US won’t have to destroy as many land based missiles in our home town.” Is this a jobs issue, or one of National Survival? With thinking like this, we’ve got real problems.

A recent report from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicated the Navy will begin reducing the total number of deployed submarine launched ballistic missiles by 56. Though there has been no formal announcement by the Navy, the expected reduction could give the current intercontinental ballistic missile force some breathing room.

Especially when coupled with the reductions that will come from eliminating 50 unused Minuteman III silos in the Malmstrom Air Force Base missile field and 51 empty Peacemaker silos assigned to F.E. Warren AFB in Wyoming and Vandenberg AFB in California.

The Peacekeeper was the largest and most powerful missile the US ever produced. It was dismantled, but not destroyed. The missile guidance and rocket bodies are being stored at Hill AFB and in the West desert of Utah. But if they destroy the silos, these missiles won’t be able to be put back into commission when needed most—as Russian cheating becomes more obvious. The Department of Defense is expected to start implementing the New START plan in May or June of this year (also from the Great Falls Tribune):

According to a Congressional Research Service report from July 2013, with the launcher reduction on Trident submarines and the elimination of decommissioned silos, as well as the conversion of nuclear bombers to non-nuclear and the elimination of the last nuclear B-52G just before Christmas, the Air Force could potentially retain all 450 silos with only 400 containing missiles at any given time. Montana congressmen in particular have pushed back against an environmental study of ICBMs [to force yet more unilateral disarmament]

The New START treaty, ratified by the Senate in 2010, limits the United States and Russia to no more than 1,550 deployed warheads; 800 deployed and nondeployed ICBM launchers; submarine-launched ballistic missile launchers and heavy bombers; and to have reduced their deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments to no more than 700.

According to data from the State Department, the U.S. has 809 deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers; Russia has 473. The U.S. has 1,688 warheads on deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and nuclear warheads counted for deployed heavy bombers; Russia has 1,400. The U.S. has 1,015 deployed and nondeployed launchers of ICBMs, SLBMs and heavy bombers; Russia has 894. The deadline to reach those limits is February 2018.

The last B-52G accountable under New START was destroyed just before Christmas by sawing off the plane’s tail, rendering it useless.

The truth is, the State Department and CIA are lying about Russian numbers. They simply don’t know, and are putting out numbers assuming the Russians are in compliance with all former treaties—which they are not. Our inspectors have never been allowed into the full range of Russian weapons factories or depots—the largest of which is the huge underground complex at Yamantau Mountain in the Urals, east of Moscow. And, the US isn’t counting all the new missiles Russia is building, either. Russia specifically backed out of the Nunn Lugar deal last year, which provided US aid in dismantling old toxic weapons in exchange for inspections, specifically because they didn’t want any more inspections. Go figure!

We haven’t built a new missile in a couple of decades and have no intention of doing so, while the Russians are building at least 12 per year. Nobody knows how many the Chinese are building. And, why should we be disarming at all—even if Russia were complying—when you’ve got China building huge missile forces. Disarmament only works if it is verifiable and if all parties to nuclear missiles are taking part and in equal compliance. We haven’t even suggested to China that she engage in disarmament talks!

It’s not hard to see where this is headed—weakening our nuclear triad in order to induce a growing enemy to remove any fear of striking. The third World War is inevitable and it will put the final nail in the coffin of US liberty and national sovereignty.

THE ARK CONSPIRACY By Jonathan Gray

Cover-ups, Betrayals and Miracles. The cloak-and-dagger story behind the discovery of Noah’s Ark and the attempts to suppress the news. Why some people reject the discovery. Solid evidence that this is the ‘real’ Noah’s Ark. A true-life thriller – archaeology at its most exciting.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rc…
=======================================

[SNIP] Later expeditions also located what appears to be Noah’s first home after the flood and the grave sites of Mr. and Mrs. Noah. The graves were evidenced by petroglyphs on the large tombstones. These were within ~5 miles of the Ark. Unfortunately, the graves were subsequently exhumed by grave robbers. The Turkish government later reported that a bodice that Mrs. Noah was wearing, which was covered with large precious stones, was sold on the Turkish black market for around $75 million. One of the burial crypts was later recovered and is in a back room of a museum in Ankara, Turkey. It is 18 feet long! Enormous human bones appeared in some of the hotels in the area soon after the graves were robbed. The size of the bones suggests that the Antediluvians were between 12-15 feet tall! [SNIP]
http://www.bibleplus.org/discoveries/…

[SNIP] Excerpt from Life magazine…
“While routinely examining aerial photos of his country, a Turkish army captain suddenly gaped at the picture shown above. There, on a mountain 20 miles south of Mt. Ararat, the biblical landfall of Noah’s Ark, was a boat-shaped form about 500 feet long. The captain passed on the word. Soon an expedition including American scientists set out for the site.

At 7,000 feet, in the midst of crevasses and landslide debris, the explorers found a clear, grassy area shaped like a ship and rimmed with steep, packed-earth sides. Its dimensions are close to those given in Genesis: ‘The length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits, and the height of it 30 cubits,’ that is, 450x75x45 feet. A quick two-day survey revealed no sign that the object was man made. Yet a scientist in the group says nothing in nature could create such a symmetrical shape. A thorough excavation may be made another year to solve the mystery.” [SNIP]

This Week’s Analysis:

Feds Purposely Making Life Difficult over Shutdown

Truck March on Washington Shows Bad Tactics

Monsanto Protection Act Killed in Congress

Syria Today—Respite from Attack only Temporary

Janet Yellen Nominated to Succeed Bernanke

When Undercover Cops Don’t Intervene to Stop a Crime

FEDS PURPOSELY MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT OVER SHUTDOWN

The list of vindictive federal closures is growing longer and a pattern is emerging. The Obama administration is restoring military-related contracts but going out of their way to antagonize any individual that has even an ancillary connection with federal land or parks. It’s no secret that during the 1995 government shutdown the Clinton Administration tried to inconvenience the general public in order to bring pressure on Republicans, but this administration is pushing things further by taking it out on the little guy and resisting any attempt by Congress or volunteers to ameliorate the shutdown. The Administration has even refused offers that would help individuals or small businesses that have been kept from working because of the shutdown. It’s as if this government wants this experience to be as nasty as possible. Still, the blame is squarely being laid on the Administration—not Congress (though you’d never know that by listening to the media).

As I pointed out last week, the Pentagon shut down a lot of core military contractors by furloughing civilian workers. In today’s military nothing runs without civilian contractors. Those furloughs lasted only a couple of days before Obama ordered them all back to work. But no such leniency was granted to ordinary people whose livelihood is connected with federal lands, parks or bureaucratic permissions.

Wes Pruden, former editor of the Washington Times pulled out his pen again to document some of the outrageous actions of the administration.

The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies.

“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

What’s even more troubling is why none of the Republican leadership have gotten a hold of Pruden to ask who made this statement. Can you imagine the public relations disaster this would be for the administration if the Republicans would put this guy on the witness stand and force him to reveal who gave the orders to “make life difficult” for the people? Perhaps House Speaker Boehner isn’t really there to win this battle.

There are many stories of public outrage that I could cite but few are as egregious as what a few seniors experienced while on a tour bus going through Yellowstone National Park. John Macone has the story with added commentary:

Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures. Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country. Rangers systematically sent visitors out of the park, though some groups that had hotel reservations — such as Vaillancourt’s — were allowed to stay for two days. Those two days started out on a sour note, she said.

The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldn’t “recreate.” The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors weren’t “recreating,” just taking photos. “She responded and said, ‘Sir, you are recreating,’ and her tone became very aggressive,” Vaillancourt said.

Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.

The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest. When finally allowed to leave, the bus was not allowed to halt at all along the 2.5-hour trip out of the park, not even to stop at private bathrooms that were open along the route.

“It was like they brought out the armed forces. Nobody was saying, ‘we’re sorry,’ it was all like — ” as she clenched her fist and banged it against her forearm. “They looked like Hulk Hogans, armed. They told us you can’t go outside,” she said. “Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, ‘Oh my God, are we under arrest?’ They felt like they were criminals.”

Barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door. The bus trip made headlines in Livingston, where the local newspaper Livingston Enterprise interviewed the tour guide, Gordon Hodgson, who accused the park service of “Gestapo tactics.” “A lot of people who were foreign said they wouldn’t come back (to America),” she said.

Some Western state governors have tried to get the feds to let them help out to keep the parks open, but the answer is always “no.” Last week when World War II veterans broke down the yellow tape closing off the World War II memorial, the government responded by bringing in more sturdy wire barricades and guards were posted. How’s that supposed to save money at monuments who had no guards or employees prior to the shutdown? John Nolte documents this and other cases of the Obama Administration unnecessarily inflicting public pain during this shutdown:

While our president still enjoys his essential employees and locations: the White House chefs, Camp David, and a military golf course, there doesn’t seem to be any question that in mercenary pursuit of a political win, this White House is determined to unreasonably punish as many everyday people as possible. And this includes children sick with cancer. That might sound like hyperbole, but it is not.

Child Cancer Patients Used as Pawns: The program at the National Institutes of Health which offers last-chance experimental cancer treatments for children suffering from cancer also got the ax. Republicans in Congress offered to fund the NIH program separately but the White House has threatened a veto.

Nolte says, “The media may or may not report on these individual occurrences, but what they will never do is provide the American people with the full context and scope of Obama’s shrill pettiness. Below is a list of illogical, unnecessary, and shockingly spiteful moves our government is making in the name of essential and non-essential. [I’ve omitted the ones I reported on previously]

The Republican National Committee has offered to cover any costs required to keep the WWII memorial open. The White House refused. Moreover, like the NIH, the GOP will pass a compromise bill that would fund America’s national parks. Obama has threatened to veto that bill. The Vietnam Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial closed, barricades erected even though never manned.

Furloughed Military Chaplains Not Allowed to Work for Free – Furloughed military chaplains willing to celebrate Mass and baptisms for free have been told they will be punished for doing so.

Business Stops In Florida Keys – Small businesses, hunters, and commercial fisherman can’t practice their trade. While the feds have deemed the personnel necessary to keep this area open “non-essential,” the “enforcement officers” to ensure no business is done are “essential.”

Obama Forces Residents Out of Private Homes – “The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they’re being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.”

Obama Shuts Down a Road That Goes Through CO Park: “The Forest Service announcement, in turn, led the Pitkin County commissioners to order that Maroon Creek Road be shut down at the height of the colorful leaf-changing season.

Obama Blocks People From LOOKING at Mt. Rushmore – “Blocking access to trails and programs at South Dakota’s most popular attraction was one thing, but state officials didn’t expect Congress’ budget stalemate to shut down a view of Mount Rushmore. The National Park Service placed cones along highway viewing areas outside Mount Rushmore this week, barring visitors from pulling over and taking pictures of the famed monument. [Similarly State Route 9 in Utah, a critical road that goes right through the beauty of Zion’s National Park, had to be left open but park police are ticketing people who get out of their cars to view the scenery.]

Crucial USDA Websites Taken Down – “The U.S. Department of Agriculture has turned off its entire website in response to the government shutdown, leaving farmers, reporters and others with no way to access any of the agency’s information online [as if it costs anything to leave it up]. USDA’s total website shutdown goes far beyond the response of other federal agencies, and seems to be part of an effort to make people feel the effects of the shutdown. This website is down and yet the ObamaCare, White House, the first lady’s websites are up.

Arizona Offers to Fund Grand Canyon, Obama Says ‘Drop Dead’ – “Obama has ordered the Grand Canyon to stay closed, even after the state of Arizona and local businesses have offered to cover the costs necessary to keep it open. In other words, the shutdown isn’t about the money — it’s about hurting the American people just because he can. [In today’s news Obama agreed to let some states fund the parks to keep them open, but he’s not offering to let them have the entrance fees the federal government collects]

Amber Alert Website Taken Offline – CNN reported that bad press was a factor in the site going back up.

Federal Prison Guards Not Getting Paid, Inmates Are – “Most of the employees at the federal prison in Forrest City are working without knowing when they will get a paycheck because of the government shutdown, but some of the inmates who get paid for the work they do inside will have no problem collecting their money.”

King Crab Season Threatened by Government Shutdown – “The Alaska king crab season is set to start soon, but all the fishing boats will have to stay docked because the government must sign off on permits and quotas. “Fisherman stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars unless lawmakers make a compromise.”

Columbia Island and Washington Sailing Marina Closed – Email from reader: “My husband received an email from WSM saying that boat owners could only go to their boats to remove items. If they leave the slip with their boat they are not allowed to return to their (paid for) slip [until] the government re opens.”

IRS Collections Operational, Taxpayer Advocate Office Closed

Eleven Hundred Square Miles of Florida Ocean Closed – Email: “You omitted the ban on Florida charter boat captains taking fishermen into an 1,100 square mile section of ocean of the coast of Tampa. Apparently, government resources patrol it.”

Shutdown Denies Death Benefits to Families of Fallen Soldiers – “The families of five U.S. service members who were killed over the weekend in Afghanistan have been notified that they won’t be receiving the $100,000 benefit normally wired to relatives within 36 hours of the death. The “death gratuity” is intended to help cover funeral costs and help with immediate living expenses until survivor benefits typically begin.”

The only reason I can conceive for this “stick it to the people” attitude is that whoever is running this shutdown show in the White House put out the word to “make life difficult” thinking he was doing the same thing that Clinton did in the late 90s. But overzealous bureaucrats (political appointees) in the Park Service and elsewhere went overboard to such an extent that the public backlash was aiming at Obama rather than the Republicans. So rather than admit error, they gone silent and relied on the media to not give coverage to these egregious and unnecessarily painful measures.

Of course, the White House also had the complicity of the Republican leadership, who just announced that both sides had agreed NOT to criticize or attack each other. Let me explain why this only benefits Obama: Prior to the agreement, the media was only blaming the Republicans, and wasn’t airing the complaints of citizens who were blaming the administration. So now Republicans have muzzled their own cause (if they ever intended to use it…) by agreement, to ensure they can’t put the blame for the worst actions on Obama where it belongs.

Where do we go from here? The GOP led House of Representatives has offered concessions to ameliorate the damage of the selective shutdown, but Obama rejects most of them. The House passed a resolution ensuring that all furloughed employees would get back pay for the time they were furloughed. I hope that also applies to the FAA maintenance personnel who are still working but not getting paid. They keep the electronics and navigation systems running so that the Air Traffic Control system still functions. Obviously, those are essential personnel whose pay should never have been cut.

As for the rest of the furloughed federal employees, many of their jobs should be eliminated, and Congress just undid any savings the partial shutdown afforded by offering to pay back wages. That’s like saying we are implementing a balanced budget amendment but offering to pay the wages of everyone whose jobs must be eliminated. Nonsense.

Minute-37:30 Ralph Epperson:

“That Book is not only about salvation. It’s about good and evil. Why? Because in the Garden of Eden, Satan offered Adam and Eve the right to decide for themselves what was right and wrong — when God told them, ‘don’t do that. Thou shalt not eat from the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,’ which means: you’re not supposed to decide what’s right and wrong. You’re supposed to listen to Me. Because when you decide, you’re going to make everything that’s wrong right.

Minute-45 Dr. Stan and then Ralph:

“I believe we should fear God. And if we don’t fear God and fear what’s going on we’re not going to keep His commandments. Why should we? What are your thoughts on that, Ralph.”

“I agree with you, Dr. Stan. Our church is no longer a flame with righteous indignation. And that’s the problem. We’re not being taught about sin and evil. I keep wondering, when are they going to start talking about being honest in your business dealing? Every time we turn around there’s more scandal…. What happened to basic morality?”

This Week’s Analysis:

Government Won’t Stop Spying

Utah Data Center Ready by September

IRS Training with Assault Weapons

US Says Syria Crossed Red Line

US China Summit Symbolic of Placating China

GOVERNMENT WON’T STOP SPYING

There is not a hint of contrition in the statements of intelligence officials as they pulled out all the old justifications for violating the 4th Amendment—to save us from terror. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, head of the National Security Agency told a Congressional committee this week that “dozens” of terror threats have been stopped thanks to the huge database of phone calls and emails the NSA has amassed. I say, “Prove it.” He also claimed that records are destroyed after 5 years, but the only files that get deleted are the remnants of information that have been sifted through already. The emails and calls that get a person on the lists of potential dissidents is never erased. When the new data center in Utah is completed this fall, they will keep everything, including all bank records, credit card and real estate data. Welcome to the Total Information Awareness system that DARPA claimed was shut down—another in a series of BIG lies.

Brandon Smith commented that,

In the past, Liberty Movement champions have been derided as “paranoid” for pointing out that there were no limitations to FISA, and that the entire nation might one day be monitored and catalogued like animals in a great technological cage. Today, the public now knows that this concern is concrete and undeniable. EVERYONE is being watched. Reports now estimate that NSA hackers harvest over 2.1 million gigabytes of data on American citizens per hour.

And, it’s not just domestic spying, the NSA is building a system to capture all digital signals from every country in the world. That can only mean that the system the US is building is ultimately intended to become a global surveillance system under a global world government. Glenn Greenwald of the UK Guardian details the nature of this global spy system.

The Guardian has acquired top-secret documents about the NSA datamining tool, called Boundless Informant, that details and even maps by country the voluminous amount of information it collects from computer and telephone networks.

The focus of the internal NSA tool is on counting and categorizing the records of communications, known as metadata, rather than the content of an email or instant message.

That isn’t true. The NSA has huge computers sifting the content and the metadata—don’t be fooled into thinking there is a difference between simply collecting the data and “not doing anything about it.” They are always doing something with the data, and names and dossiers are being sorted into various categories and lists every minute of the day.

The Boundless Informant documents show the agency collecting almost 3 billion pieces of intelligence from US computer networks over a 30-day period ending in March 2013. An NSA factsheet about the program, acquired by the Guardian, says: “The tool allows users to select a country on a map and view the metadata volume and select details about the collections against that country.”

The heatmap gives each nation a color code based on how extensively it is subjected to NSA surveillance. The color scheme ranges from green (least subjected to surveillance) through yellow and orange to red (most surveillance). Iran was the country where the largest amount of intelligence was gathered, with more than 14bn reports in that period, followed by 13.5bn from Pakistan. Jordan, one of America’s closest Arab allies, came third with 12.7bn,[—all 3 labeled as Red on the Heat Maps] Egypt fourth with 7.6bn and India fifth with 6.3bn.

But this is merely a reflection of the ease with which these nation’s systems can be penetrated, not necessarily the number of threats in the country. Jordan certainly isn’t third on the NSA target list. Allies like Germany and France are incensed that the US is spying on all their communications as well. Zerohedge reports:

German outrage over a U.S. Internet spying program has broken out ahead of a visit by Barack Obama, with ministers demanding the president provide a full explanation when he lands in Berlin next week and one official likening the tactics to those of the East German Stasi.

Interestingly, the US captures much more information from within the US than it does on Russia, China or any other nation that is a real threat to the US. Let’s look at some of the government lies and excuses on this subject:

From the Guardian story above: At a hearing of the Senate intelligence committee In March this year, Democratic senator Ron Wyden asked James Clapper, the director of national intelligence: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” “No sir,” replied Clapper.

Jason Ditz of Anti-War.com derided Clapper’s attempt to defend his lies: Clapper was defiant on Sunday news shows when asked about that particular federal offense, saying he felt the question he was asked was “unfair” and that he gave the “least untruthful” lie he could think of in response. Which was still a horrible lie that he eventually got caught in, as he attempted to defend lying under oath. [how is a flat out “no” the least untruthful?”]

The Guardian again: Judith Emmel, an NSA spokeswoman, told the Guardian in a response to the latest disclosures: “NSA has consistently reported – including to Congress – that we do not have the ability to determine with certainty the identity or location of all communicants within a given communication. That remains the case.”

Emmel’s quote is misleading. It sounds like the NSA can rarely read even the metadata accurately, but in fact all she said is that the identity of a communicant sometimes evades their detection. That might be a glimmer of hope for those who know how to cover their tracks well online, but it’s hardly reassuring to the general public. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden says the government is capturing digital communications from everyone—not just those suspected of terror. The Guardian comments on the proof Snowden showed them (and much of the good stuff hasn’t been released by the Guardian):

Other documents seen by the Guardian further demonstrate that the NSA does in fact break down its surveillance intercepts which could allow the agency to determine how many of them are from the US. The level of detail includes individual IP addresses.

The litany of government excuses to help downplay the scandal runs the gamut of 1) saying they collect data but don’t do anything with it, and 2) that oversight by the Courts and Congress guarantees that American’s privacy is still protected—really big lies:

On Friday, in his first public response to the Guardian’s disclosures this week on NSA surveillance, Barack Obama said that congressional oversight was the American peoples’ best guarantee that they were not being spied on.

Oversight is a sham. How can he say with a straight face that we are not being spied on when the government doesn’t even contest the fact that all emails and phone calls are recorded? I guess it depends on his “definition of spying.” The trouble with the idea that there is no spying if we aren’t reading what we collect is that there is no possible oversight to ensure computers aren’t reading what is collected. Certainly they never tell Congress any specifics so to the government, “oversight” means “taking our word for it!” —hardly reassuring given the litany of lies. The only safety for privacy is to ensure the government doesn’t collect data. It can’t read what it doesn’t collect.

“These are the folks you all vote for as your representatives in Congress and they are being fully briefed on these programs,” he said. Obama also insisted that any surveillance was “very narrowly circumscribed”.

Fully briefed? –Hardly. That’s another lie or misdirection. Congress is briefed only in general and is never given true information about the scope of the spying. In addition, those Congressmen and women who serve on the committee are all certified yes-men and women to government and would never challenge anything. We cannot depend on them to become whistleblowers. Besides, they are sworn never to say anything about what they learn in these briefings to the public, or even other members of Congress. With these kinds of restrictions how can illegal acts be exposed or corrected? Answer: They can’t.

Then there is the excuse that the NSA is only doing what Congress authorized in the FISA court authorization bill. Here’s the NY Times projecting the government line:

The director, Gen. Keith B. Alexander, who heads both the N.S.A. and United States Cyber Command, which runs the military’s offensive and defensive use of cyberweapons, told skeptical members of the Senate Appropriations Committee that his agency was doing exactly what Congress authorized after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

As an aside, General Alexander is the perfect yes-man to government and no stranger to black operations or lying to Congress. The notorious prison unit responsible for Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse in Baghdad was under his command. He was part of the cover-up there as well blaming the Abu Ghraib scandal on a “group of undisciplined MP soldiers.” Nonsense. These orders for torture came down from the White House and Alexander was in that chain of command.

But the administration cannot justify this under the FISA law. Jim Sensenbrenner (the notorious conservative who introduced the PATRIOT Act) said that the executive branch’s excuses about recent revelations of NSA activity are “a bunch of bunk” according to National Review.

In an interview on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Wednesday morning, the Republican congressman from Wisconsin reiterated his concerns that the administration and the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court have gone far beyond what the PATRIOT Act intended. Specifically, he said that Section 215 of the act “was originally drafted to prevent data mining” on the scale that’s occurred.

[NY Times again] General Alexander said the agency “takes great pride in protecting this nation and our civil liberties and privacy” under the oversight of Congress and the courts.

But the oversight claim is a lie. Congressman Sensenbrenner made it very clear, that “the secret nature of the FISA court has prevented appropriate congressional oversight over the NSA’s activities.”

“We aren’t trying to hide it,” he said. [Then why was it secret and why are you trying to prosecute Snowden?] “We’re trying to protect America. So we need your help in doing that. This isn’t something that’s just N.S.A. or the administration doing it on its own. This is what our nation expects our government to do for us.”

Just as the intentional leaks of 2007 about illegal surveillance led Congress to pass more laws to make some spying legal, Alexander is directly lobbying Congress to allow this total surveillance program—retroactively. As with 9/11 or the spy scandal of 2007 no one will be disciplined for violating their oath to the Constitution in this matter.

As for Alexander’s claim that all of this is legal because the FISA court authorized it, that isn’t true. When Congress established the FISA court (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) it was tasked to scrutinize CIA or NSA requests for domestic surveillance on a case by case basis and those cases had to be directly related to a terror investigation.

The FISA court does nothing to force government officials to prove the legality and origin of evidence they bring before the court—almost all of which is derived from electronic surveillance. Moreover, the FISA court has no authority from Congress to allow the wholesale collecting of all data such as during the supposed 3 month period it authorized the NSA to capture data from all Verizon phone logs.

Frankly, the NSA doesn’t invest billions in creating a huge system like PRISM just for a 3 month window of authorization by the FISA court. In other words, the court was merely providing legal cover for NSA for something they were illegally doing before, and will continue doing with our without the court’s approval. This is not oversight. This is rubber stamping government crimes.

PRISM gets its name from the physical prism lens device that is placed on fiber optic cables in order to split each signal into two identical streams—one that goes to the original destination and the other to the NSA computers. Under the PRISM program, the NSA collects information from all fiber optic communications including internet data and domestic and transatlantic phone calls on trunk lines.

Intelligence analysts already say that suspects of terror within the Middle East and Europe have started using better code words to mask their intentions or have dropped off of Facebook, Skype and Twitter altogether. But the NSA is counting on the fact that no one can operate without digital communications nowadays, so they feel the fallout will be temporary.

Meanwhile, we are getting to see who’s a shill for government by who comes out and defends this total surveillance system in the name of protecting us from terror. The two worst Republican neocons in the Senate, Peter King (NY) and Lindsey Graham (SC) are still up front defending the spying. And it also doesn’t help the cause of privacy when members of the Senate in charge of overseeing government surveillance act as shills for government.

Anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, tried to excuse the government’s going beyond its terror fighting mandate by citing as an example that suggested the NSA surveillance had a roll in “slowing down Iran’s nuclear program,” implying that it’s good the NSA goes beyond its limited mandate. Then she dutifully parrots what intelligence officials tell Congress in their secret oversight meetings—that the NSA “can look at the domestic calling data only if there is a reason to suspect it is actually related to Al Qaeda or to Iran… The vast majority of the records in the database are never accessed and are deleted after a period of five years. To look at or use the content of a call, a court warrant must be obtained.”

In reality, this is not true. All the data is sifted and sorted by huge supercomputers, some in real time, others after the fact. The FISA court warrant-seeking process is only done when the government wants to have the legal backing to make one of their high profile terror prosecutions. In other words, it’s legally justifying a case after the facts are gleaned illegally.

[…]

Hiding the best stuff: Wired.com also noted that neither the Guardian nor the Washington Post (who both got Snowden’s material) are revealing all:

Only five slides from the presentation have been published. The other 36 remain a mystery. Both the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald and the Post’ s Barton Gellman have made it clear that the rest of the PowerPoint is dynamite stuff … which we’re not going to be seeing any time soon.

That’s the same problem with Wikileaks. Julian Assange made a deal with the mainstream media to allow them to sort and selectively decided what to give the public out of the leaked information. All of the really juicy secret black operations stuff is always edited out.

In summary, I feel this revelation on total surveillance by government should have been the straw that breaks the camel’s back and finally convinced people that government is simply lying to them and that the entire system is corrupt and controlled. But so far, it’s business as usual for most people, so what little hope I had in America waking up is dying.

[…]

Sadly, no more will come of such a committee investigation than the Church committee investigation of the CIA—except to bring a little more light on the subject. Sadly, I don’t think we are going to turn this around.

Bilderberg Group Meeting this Week

[…]

BILDERBERG GROUP MEETING THIS WEEK

Now that veteran Bilderberg watcher Jim Tucker is dead, no one has been as good at penetrating the organization for clues about what they are up to. It’s rather ironic that none of the US papers will cover the Bilderberg conference—no surprise there, as we see below in the list of attendees, the Washington Post has always been one of the secret and silent conspirators to this globalist outfit. . The UK Guardian and Telegraph do cover it, but in a positive light.

This piece for the Guardian, was written by Guardian staff writer Charlie Skelton, an admitted “fan of Bilderberg since 2009.” I print his view only to demonstrate how Lenin’s “useful idiots” are still alive and well in society, promoting liberty’s destruction, while thinking things are quite wonderful in our global world.

On Thursday afternoon, a heady mix of politicians, bank bosses, billionaires, chief executives and European royalty will swoop up the elegant drive of the Grove hotel, north of Watford, to begin the annual Bilderberg conference.

It’s a remarkable spectacle – one of nature’s wonders [a description only a man in awe of globalist power could make]. The area round the hotel is in lockdown: locals are having to show their passports to get to their homes [totally illegal to require this]. It’s exciting too for the delegates. The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell will hop from his limo, delighted to be spending three solid days in policy talks with the head of HSBC, the president of Dow Chemical, his favorite European finance ministers and US intelligence chiefs. The conference is the highlight of every plutocrat’s year and has been since 1954. The only time Bilderberg skipped a year was 1976, after the group’s founding chairman, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was caught taking bribes from Lockheed Martin.

It may seem odd, as our own lobbying scandal unfolds, amid calls for a statutory register of lobbyists, that a bunch of our senior politicians will be holed up for three days in luxurious privacy with the chairmen and CEOs of hedge funds, tech corporations and vast multinational holding companies, with zero press oversight.

Of course, being a fan, he isn’t bothered—only wonders.

“It runs contrary to [George] Osborne’s public commitment in 2010 to ‘the most radical transparency agenda the country has ever seen’,” says Michael Meacher MP. Meacher describes the conference as “an anti-democratic cabal of the leaders of western market capitalism meeting in private to maintain their own power and influence outside the reach of public scrutiny”.

[One would hope the following is said tongue in cheek but I doubt it.] But, to be fair, is “public scrutiny” really necessary when our politicians are tucked safely away with so many responsible members of JP Morgan’s international advisory board? There’s always the group chief executive of BP on hand to make sure they do not get unduly lobbied. And if he is not in the room, keeping an eye out, then at least one of the chairmen of Novartis, Zurich Insurance, Fiat or Goldman Sachs International will be around.

This year, there will be a great deal more “public scrutiny” of Bilderberg. Pressure from journalists and activists has won concessions from the venue: for the first time in 59 years there will be an unofficial press office, staffed by volunteers, on the grounds. Several thousand activists and bloggers are expected, along with photographers and journalists from around the world.

But this is a charade, done to give the appearance of openness without any access at all close up. As Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars.com wrote,

[Charlie Skelton’s full London Guardian article can be read here – editor]

Skelton continues by at least noting the prior hostile manner in which uninvited journalists and protestors were handled:

Back in 2009 there were barely a dozen witnesses – harassed and arrested by heavy-handed Greek police.

And then, the issue of money. In prior years, taxpayers have picked up the outrageous tab for these outings. Now, Bilderberg has put on the veil of a charity deception, per The Guardian.

If you’ve been wondering who picks up the tab […]

And guess who is paying for these tax deductible contributions to this global conspiracy of power?

Fortunately, the charity receives regular five-figure sums from two kindly supporters of its benevolent [?] aims: Goldman Sachs and BP. The most recent documentary proof of this is from 2008, since then the charity has omitted its donors’ names from its accounts.

The charity’s goal is “public education“. And how does it go about educating the public? “In furtherance of these objectives the International Steering Committee organizes conferences and meetings in the UK and elsewhere and disseminates the results thereof by preparing and publishing reports of such conferences and meetings and by other means.” Cleverly, it disseminates the results by resolutely keeping them away from the public and press.

Even George Orwell (author of 1984) couldn’t have conceived of such an audacious lie—which is only possible with the collusion of the courts, who allow them to get away with anything.

Google-Berg? An Aspect of this growing collusion between globalists and business leaders was revealed in a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones at Infowars.com. It involves the participation of Google’s executive chairman (and CEO of Google until 2011), Eric Schmidt, at Bilderberg and the appearance that he is linking his annual international Tech conference to the annual Bilderberg meeting so that Bilderberg can more easily integrate its influence with Google’s.

Put simply, Bilderberg is merging with Google under the stewardship of Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a regular Bilderberg attendee. Google’s annual Zeitgeist conference […]

There is something to this, given Schmidt’s Bilderberg background, but the Zeitgeist Conference is never going to be behind closed doors like Bilderberg. Its speeches and talks are published openly and the press is allowed. I suspect, however, that the closeness this year of both conferences is done to help more Tech leaders feel honored by being allowed into the presence of the globalists in order to lure more high tech CEOs into the globalist conspiracy.

But there is no doubt that Alex Jones is right about Google becoming the leader in the globalist’s goal of linking and controlling the internet. Google is a part of that all-surveillance society being constructed by the globalists, and it harkens back to the fact that a big chunk of Google’s seed money came from the CIA. Here’s other evidence that is surfacing, according to the American Free Press:

The top-secret US National Security Agency is not required to reveal any deal it may have with Google to help protect against cyber attacks, an appeals court ruled Friday. The US Court of Appeals in Washington upheld a lower court decision that said the NSA need not confirm or deny any relationship with Google.

Ostensibly, this case grew out of Chinese spying on Gmail accounts, so it is possible that the secrecy order was aimed at protecting China from embarrassment, which is a globalist policy. Google went along. Jason Ditz of Antiwar.com also found out that Google privately backs the intrusive bill that gives government power to control the internet under the pretext of protect us from copyright infringement (CISPA).

After Google played a central role rallying the public against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI) claims that Google is secretly supporting the bill many are calling “SOPA 2.”

“They’ve been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill,” Rogers said of Google, which declined to comment on the new bill called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). The bill aims primarily at the sharing of private information, empowering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect data from private companies on anything they decide is a “cyber threat.”

If Google wants to claim it is against government intrusion, their recent fight with the FBI over warrantless demands for customer data could be used. According to the AP

A federal judge has ruled that Google Inc. must comply with the FBI’s warrantless demands for customer data, rejecting the company’s argument that the government’s practice of issuing so-called national security letters to telecommunication companies, Internet service providers, banks and others was unconstitutional and unnecessary.

But it could also be that this “fight” was feigned with the courts (who are shills for government) to give Google the appearance of being “forced” to comply with something they have been doing for years. It’s no secret that Google records everything, even though Schmidt recently claimed on an interview that it erases everyone’s data when older than 18 months. No proof was offered, however, that that is being done, and I very much doubt it is.

In short, the leaders behind Bilderberg surely would like other tech leaders to voluntarily come their way. As I have said in years past, Bilderberg is a kind of leadership training conference for globalists. They don’t make globalist policies there (those are done in other meetings prior to Bilderberg) but they sell those policies there, and test the receptivity of new and up-and-coming leaders and politicians that are invited to attend.

The Bilderberg’s publish a list of attendees, but there are many others that attend in secret and don’t want their name associated with it—politicians in particular. Still, the list is telling. Notice the depth of power brokers involved in this list of the prominent people attending this year. They come from major universities, the media, big business, and government service. The list is very long and not all of them are prominent in outward leadership, so I don’t cover them all. Some of the lesser known are being cultivated for future high elected office. I list the prominent ones that are already influencing governments, education, business or policy on behalf of globalism:

INT                Zoellick, Robert B.   11th Pres. Of World Bank

However, the most important thing is to track how other members of the globalist conspiracy, who don’t necessarily attend Bilderberg control government policy. Members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is where the real policy control lies. The August Forecast and Review provided this view of the Obama administration:

Trilateral Commission Continues to Dominate Obama: The position of National Security Adviser acts like a gate keeper to the President [informally, he or she is referred to as the President’s handler—especially on foreign policy. The only exception is when George W. Bush was president. Dick Cheney, his VP, was his handler]. This fact has never been lost on the Trilateral Commission, where Zbigniew Brzezinski was National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter in 1976. Brzezinski choreographed Carter‘s every move, even bragging about it years later.

When it comes to national security issues (overseas and domestic), nothing reaches the President’s eyes or ears without being filtered and screened by his Adviser. You can imagine possibility for manipulation if the NSA has a secret agenda to use the President in order to promote goals favorable to the membership of a private organization.

When Obama first took office, he appointed 12 percent of the U.S. Trilateral Commission membership to top posts. Three of these posts related to national security:

National Security Adviser, Gen. James L. Jones

Deputy National Security Adviser, Thomas Donilon [now, the current NS Advisor]

Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair

When Jones stepped down in October 2010, Trilateral Thomas Donilon was promoted to National Security Adviser, where he has served until he announced his resignation today.

Alas, that is not the end of Trilateral Commission hegemony over Obama. His new appointee? None other than Susan Rice, also a member of the Trilateral Commission. […]

The old guard Trilaterals such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger, are certainly gloating over the unrestrained ignorance of the American public. After all, Trilaterals have dominated and controlled every president since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Walter Mondale, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Dick Cheney were all members, and loaded their respective high-level positions with other Trilaterals. [all other earlier presidents going back as far as Woodrow Wilson were controlled by one or more handlers as detailed in prior briefs, even though the National Security Advisor position was not in existence]. […]

The globalists certainly know how to use every angle to keep their works of darkness a secret. [END]

A SCANDAL A WEEK AT THE WHITE HOUSE

The most corrupt presidency in US history is finally getting the negative spotlight that it deserves. Obama, with the help of powerful protectors in high places, has previously been successful at deflecting huge scandals relative to his foreign birth, his phony Social Security card, and the “Fast and Furious” gun running fiasco. Now, four more scandals have emerged to taint the White House and Obama’s handlers are working overtime to present the alien-in-chief as an indignant protector of justice, shocked about things that are happening on his watch! It is probably only because these latest scandals are less threatening to Obama directly that the media—ever protective of the government side of events—is giving them considerable coverage. Even with the broad, negative coverage, core truths are still being omitted or downplayed—the standard way for the press to assist in a cover-up.

[…]

Scandal #4: Sexual Abuse in the Military:

Obama claims to be outraged by the latest Pentagon report on the epidemic of sexual assault in the military. His outrage in feigned just like the other scandals surfacing this week. And, like the other scandals, they aren’t going away despite the claimed anger of the Commander-in-Chief. As CBS reports,

In the last two weeks, two service members have been accused of sexual misconduct. In both cases, the men had been in charge of preventing those type of crimes. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY said,

“We have arguably 26,000 assaults a year, but only about 3,000 are even reported, and only a handful go to trial and result in a conviction,” Gillibrand said. “So what we need to do is change the system, so victims know that they can receive justice.”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey said, “We’re losing the confidence of the women who serve.” [as they should] and claimed that the increases in sexual assault were linked to “the strains of war.”

Nonsense. Having been a military officer in the Marines, I can tell you that the problem is the culture of sexual promiscuity that is fully imbued in military service. There is no morality in the armed services except “don’t get caught” and “don’t embarrass us.”

Military officers have fully acquiesced to the long-held and flawed psychological garbage that military men at war can’t be expected to control themselves sexually, and thus a long litany of unwritten policies have evolved to control the damage.

When I joined my first fighter/attack squadron in the Marines, the shops and aircraft maintenance offices were wallpapered with pornography. And, it wasn’t just the enlisted Marines. The officers held their own stag parties with prostitutes and strippers. I eventually had to resign from the Marines after getting an “Unsatisfactory” Fitness Report from my outfit over my refusal to attend such parties.

I must note, however, that in my day, the infantry Marines next door on the base ran a much tighter ship and didn’t allow such open displays of shoddy morality. Still there were drug problems spilling over from the Vietnam conflict and a complete toleration for whatever sexual perversions Marines wanted to engage in when on shore leave. Of course, all of this was before the Tailhook scandal where officers were found guilty of sexually abusing women (including female officers) as they passed through a gauntlet of drunken officers.

Tailhook was the rowdy annual convention of Naval Aviators (tailhooks, used to arrest carrier landings are only part of Navy aircraft) that more represented an orgy than a civilized celebration of top military aviators. The convention had become more raunchy each year until they finally went too far. As the NY Times reviewed it this week,

In 1992, a young Navy lieutenant named Paula Coughlin said she had been sexually assaulted at the 35th Annual Tailhook Symposium in Las Vegas. Her complaints revealed an ugly side to the annual convention for “Top Gun” aviators: 83 women and 7 men were later found to have been assaulted during the raucous party weekend in September 1991. The resulting scandal forced the resignation of the secretary of the Navy, the censure of several admirals and the enactment of a reform agenda that stressed a “zero tolerance” policy.

Did it make a difference? More than two decades later the news remains extremely discouraging. Last week the Pentagon released a report estimating that 26,000 people in the military were sexually assaulted in the 2012 fiscal year, up from 19,000 in 2010. Making matters worse, the officer in charge of sexual assault prevention programs for the Air Force was arrested in Arlington, Va., and charged with sexual battery.

And the problem hasn’t gone away. It has only been exacerbated by putting a lot more women in close quarters with men on ships, planes and in the Army. But none of the news articles will criticize the politically-correct notion of “women in combat.” At the unit level there pervades an undercurrent of small talk about women with men eagerly fantasizing about what they are going to do next. You’ve seen it in tens of war movies. It’s a lot worse in real life, especially now that these men are placed in close quarters with women everyday.

Navy Petty Officer Jenny McClendon tells an interviewer of the abuse she faced years after the supposed Tailhook reforms were adopted: “I presumed that I was going to join a group of people who were my comrades. When I got to the ship, it was a while before – was probably a couple of months before we went from harassment to – to the groping, and the groping eventually culminated in several physical assaults and a couple — — a few rapes.”

And, most of these rapes go unreported. That’s because the entire military chain of command is built around protecting the top commander of the unit from embarrassment. If you report a rape, it’s going to cause hours of paperwork, a court-martial, and even a messy trial. People are going to have to be shipped home and that means more work and hassle for everyone. Also in the military, there exists the presumption that everything that happens in a unit is ultimately the responsibility of the commanding officer, so the risk of getting sacked for not controlling your men is high—but only if it gets out in public (hence, the motivation to not prosecute).

Finally, forget about claims that Obama is going to be impeached over this. Impeachment is dead after the Clinton fiasco, and the Republicans are too controlled to do the job. All these scandals will be softened over time and the public pacified by more lies about reform.

They won’t necessarily have to wait the full 15 years before they’ve got a full blue water navy, but they certainly got to get a lot more than what they have now.”

CHINA AGGRESSIVENESS CONTINUES IN THE FACE OF US CONCESSIONS

China always gives the impression that it is a broker for peace in North Korea. Bill Gertz, America’s foremost China watcher wrote this week:

The clearest example of Chinese influence on Pyongyang was the latest report by U.S. intelligence agencies, indicating that two road-mobile Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missiles that had been readied for test launch on North Korea’s east coast were removed recently.

But at what price in concessions?

[US Sec. Of State] Mr. Kerry brought a carrot that Beijing apparently found hard to resist. He offered to cancel the planned deployment of 14 additional ground-based interceptors at U.S. missile defense bases in Alaska and California if China did more to stifle North Korean bellicosity. The deployments were announced recently in response to North Korean missile threats.

The deployment of such extra Anti-ballistic missiles (somewhat ineffective without any warheads) always makes Americans think they are protected. But the US doesn’t really intend to defend America against a massive nuclear strike. The various ABM systems the US has deployed are probably capable of interdicting a few missiles, but not the volley of thousands China and Russia are preparing for some future time.

Mr. Kerry’s accommodation of China in standing down the extra ABM deployment, is par for the course in US-NK relationships—always backing down from the toughest sanctions any time NK offers even the most minuscule retreat. Compare that to the US treatment of Iran where the US will eventually attack a much less aggressive nation with no proven nuclear weapons capacity.

Meanwhile, China continues developing its military and projecting power in the China Sea. James Dunnigan reports that,

More and more Filipino fishermen are complaining to the government that they are being chased away from their traditional fishing areas off the Filipino coast by Chinese coast guard ships. This is particularly bad at Scarborough Shoal. This is in violation of a deal made last June with the Chinese. Not only did Chinese patrol boats soon return to Scarborough Shoal but Chinese fishing boats are again operating there and even erected a flimsy barrier (with rowboats, rope, and fishing nets) across the entrance to the lagoon and forcibly preventing Filipino fishing boats from entering. Scarborough Shoal is in waters the Philippines claim (according to international law).

The shoal is only 250 kilometers from the Philippines and 1,200 kilometers from China. Despite this, China claims ownership of Scarborough Shoal but has not yet used deadly force to assert that claim. What China is apparently doing is sending patrol boats from their fishery protection service to “protect their fishermen.” According to China they are in compliance with the June deal, as they never agreed that Chinese fishing boats could not operate around Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines does not agree but has refrained from sending warships to the shoal and chasing the Chinese fishing boats away. To Filipinos this is another example of China saying one thing and doing another.

This is typical of how China muscles in on weaker nations. The US is currently pressuring the Philippines not to engage Chinese patrol boats, but this permissiveness will only embolden China until someday even US force won’t be enough to defend Philippine claims without it leading to war.

Meanwhile, China continues its military buildup on all fronts—army, naval and air forces—in anticipation of the inevitable (to them) confrontation with the West. This year’s annual Pentagon report to Congress on Chinese military modernization for 2013 has many more details than last year. It doesn’t tell all, but the growth and sophistication of China’s military modernization is ominous.

Naturally, China is using a variety of espionage techniques to accelerate its acquisition of US military technology:

a) industrial espionage (front companies that order military grade parts from around the world),

b) educational (the US foolishly allows thousands of Chinese students to study at major technical universities) and

c) economic espionage (requiring companies who build parts in China to share their technology). –all this hoping to cut its reliance on foreign arms makers, even Russian arms, which provided China its first high tech weapons.

Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon summarizes much of the report:

China is building two new classes of missile submarines in addition to the eight nuclear missile submarines and six attack submarines being deployed as part of an arms buildup that analysts say appears to put Beijing on a war footing… China has yet to conduct an underwater test firing of its submarine-launched missiles but is deploying new missile submarines and planning advanced versions.

The Pentagon’s latest annual report to Congress also includes new details of China’s deployment of an aircraft carrier-killing ballistic missile, two new stealth jet fighters, and a new road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile in addition to three other new ICBMs.

The Chinese military is also developing cyber warfare capabilities that can be used in preemptive attacks, the 92-page report states. Of particular concern to the Pentagon is the deployment near Taiwan of a precision-guided DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, according to the report.

“We’re concerned about the ability of China to develop missiles that can project its military power with precision at great distances from China—obviously something that can hold at risk large surface ships, including aircraft carriers, is something that we pay attention to, but we put it in the context of a number of China’s military developments, again, that we characterize as anti-access and area denial,” However, [the Pentagon report] noted that no single weapons system is the problem. Instead, he said, “it’s the integration and overlapping nature of these weapons system into a regime that can potentially impede or restrict free military operations in the Western Pacific.”

Additionally, the report confirms, China is building a new road-mobile ICBM that is likely capable of being armed with a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV)… New road mobile missiles deployed in recent years include DF-31 and DF-31A mobile ICBMs and the JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile. The DF-31A has a range of about 7,000 miles.

“This administration is reluctant to just come out and say it [covering for the Chinese threat], but this report makes clear that China is preparing for small-scale and then large-scale wars against the United States and its friends and allies,” said Richard Fisher, a China military analyst with the International Assessment and Strategy Center.

Beijing is also rapidly building new radar-evading stealth fighter-bombers known as the J-20 and J-31… the Pentagon does not expect either the J-20 or the J-31 “to achieve an effective operational capability before 2018.” The first test flight of the J-20 took place two years ago and surprised the U.S. military. It was tested during the visit of then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who was criticized for canceling F-22 production.

The full report can be read here: http://www.defense.gov/pubs/2013_China_Report_FINAL.pdf

The US has been systematically disarming or limiting arms capable of combating a traditional two ocean world war threat, while wasting most of our military resources on Middle East intervention. The US will regret the limiting of the F-22 now that the F-35 replacement has been shown to be way too costly and filled with technical problems.

China’s surface naval forces are also expanding rapidly with deployment of several new types of warships, including the first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning… the carrier conducted its first aircraft launch and recovery operations in November with J-15 fighters… [and] will spend the next three to four years on training and integration before achieving an operationally effective aircraft carrier capability… China will likely build several indigenous aircraft carriers over the next 15 years.

These kinds of estimates are what make me believe this major world war is still 8-10 years away.

The report also discusses China’s assertions of territorial and maritime claims that are upsetting stability in the region… China is claiming most of the South China Sea as its territory and is disputing Japan’s claims to the Senkaku Islands. Both areas are said to have large deposits of undersea gas and oil to which energy-hungry states in the region seek access.

China’s government routinely protests the annual report, claiming it is part of a Pentagon campaign to hype the threat from China.

Fisher, the IASC military analyst, said the latest report is far more useful than the truncated 43-page report from 2012. “The first ever report disclosure of development of the Type 096 SSBN raises the prospect of a new submarine launched missile that also may be multiple warhead capable,” Fisher said. “As the Administration presses for additional reductions in U.S. nuclear warhead levels and shows reluctance to fund U.S. nuclear arsenal modernization, it is doubly important that Congress be informed about the size and growth of China’s nuclear forces.”

Fisher said the report failed to address China’s transfer of strategic missile technology to North Korea, specifically the transporter-erector launchers for Pyongyang’s new KN-08 road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile disclosed for the first time during a military parade in April 2012.

“A failure to chastise and sanction China’s action will only serve to undermine confidence in American security guarantees and increase interest by our allies in their own nuclear deterrents,” he said.

All of the last comments reinforce my view that the US is intentionally downplaying the China threat. Incredibly, the chief of naval operations told Congress on Tuesday that he is vigilant of, but not worried by, China’s large-scale naval buildup, including the Pentagon’s disclosure on Monday that Beijing is building two new classes of missile submarines. That’s what happens when you purge out all the Pattons and MacArthurs from the military and advance only yes-men.

It must be also noted that the Pentagon doesn’t even put out a similar threat paper on Russian nuclear forces which are well ahead in numbers and quantity than the Chinese. That is a crucial omission, and has been going on for decades.

What is gained by downplaying the threat of Russia and China? It keeps the American public ignorant of the real threats. By not alerting us to the future danger it makes sure Americans don’t demand a change in our military strategy and posture, or prepare themselves for the war the government knows is coming. That’s the reason our government is building deep underground bunker systems. We need to start focusing on the real global threats, not simply the Muslim threat—which is largely manufactured and exacerbated by the phony war on terror. This is no harmless diversion. It is a deadly time to be asleep and passive.

PENTAGON TRYING TO PROSECUTE CHRISTIANS FOR PROSELYTIZING

The Pentagon has released a statement saying that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith. This is a tricky issue with a lot of repercussions surrounding free speech. Can a person say anything about his religion without it being interpreted as proselyting? Here’s the commentary by Ken Klukowski:

“Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.

Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians, including chaplains, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”

This is an incredible and distorted position. Certainly conversions by threat or force would be counter to freedom and the Constitution, but voluntary expressions of faith? The military could rightfully ban certain religious or any non-germane conversations during official working hours, but the military now looks as if they want to control a person’s time and conversation even off duty. It seems the Pentagon wants to silence all religious opinions.

This regulation would severely limit expressions of faith in the military, even on a one-to-one basis between close friends. It could also effectively abolish the position of chaplain in the military, as it would not allow chaplains (or any service members, for that matter), to say anything about their faith that others say led them to think they were being encouraged to make faith part of their life. It’s difficult to imagine how a member of the clergy could give spiritual counseling without saying anything that might be perceived in that fashion.

In response to the Pentagon’s plans, retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, who is now executive vice president of the Family Research Council (FRC), said on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning:

It’s a matter of what do they mean by “proselytizing.” …I think they’ve got their definitions a little confused. If you’re talking about coercion that’s one thing, but if you’re talking about the free exercise of our faith as individual soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, especially for the chaplains, [then] I think the worst thing we can do is stop the ability for a soldier to be able to exercise his faith.”

So President Barack Obama’s civilian appointees who lead the Pentagon are confirming that the military will make it a crime–possibly resulting in imprisonment–for those in uniform to share their faith. This would include chaplains—military officers who are ordained clergymen of their faith (mostly Christian pastors or priests, or Jewish rabbis)–whose duty since the founding of the U.S. military under George Washington is to teach their faith and minister to the spiritual needs of troops who come to them for counsel, instruction, or comfort.

Part of this policy change may also be aimed at giving the military one more prosecution tool to stop Christians from speaking out against gays in the military.

MORE ON BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING

Three friends of the accused bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were arrested for obstruction of justice (hiding evidence from police or lying to protect their friend) this week. One of the boys, according to the feds, did say that Dzhokhar had bragged about knowing how to build a bomb. That is probably true, given how easy it is to purchase large fireworks and build pipe bombs, but it doesn’t change the fact that most of the evidence shows that whatever explosives the two brothers had in their packs that day, the bulge of the pack wasn’t big enough to conceal a pressure cooker. In addition, the colors of the packs they were wearing don’t match the remnants of the single exploded back pack the government has as evidence. What about the other explosion?

One of the most interesting pieces of evidence that has surfaced indicates that the other explosion was NOT a backpack on the ground but placed higher up on a building where a jumbotron big screen TV was attached. Here’s the Fox News live feed and interview: Fox Feed

At 6:45, 7:09 minutes into the video, Maria Stephanos (a Fox News reporter) said the explosion she saw came from the side of a building, higher up on the wall right where a Jumbotron (Big Screen TV) was installed. At 8:01, she said the explosion looked like it took place halfway up the building and at 8:32, she reiterated that the explosion came from the middle of the building, not at ground level. She was adamant about all this.

This is important because it is the first evidence that places the bomb at a place where neither Tsarnaev brothers could have had access. Nor does it match FBI claims (as yet unbacked by any video proof released) about the activities of the brothers that day. This clue about the second explosion is also important because this Fox video was aired immediately in the aftermath of the attack and none of the other media picked up on it, and even Fox News ignored it during subsequent coverage.

Video evidence and voice recordings of the brothers themselves contradict the claims of the hijacked SUV owner who the Boston Globe claims to have interviewed. Here’s the first interview from the Chinese person who the Boston Globe claims has finally surfaced after the alleged hijacking of his Mercedes SUV. I might add that the Boston Globe is a reliable government mouthpiece and had exclusive access to this person:

The 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur had just pulled his new Mercedes to the curb on Brighton Avenue to answer a text when an old sedan swerved behind him, slamming on the brakes. A man in dark clothes got out and approached the passenger window. It was nearly 11 p.m. last Thursday.

The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny [not his real name], unable to hear him, lowered the window — and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun. “Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny. He asked if he had followed the news about Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings. Danny had, down to the release of the grainy suspect photos less than six hours earlier. “I did that,” said the man, who would later be identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev. “And I just killed a policeman in Cambridge.”

This is all very convenient to have second-hand confessions from someone who the FBI kept hidden for days and who now emerges but stays in the shadows of a pseudonym. Why the fear to come forward openly? His claimed version is at variance with the boys own protestations when surrounded by police. Paul Joseph Watson had the story at infowars.com

Video footage from the scene of the shootout with the alleged Boston bombers appears to contain audio of the suspects screaming out, “We didn’t do it!” as police fire on the two brothers.

Although by no means clear, the words below appear to be shouted by the suspects as they come under police gunfire.

– 24 seconds: “chill out”

– 26 seconds: “chill out”, “chill out”

– 31 seconds: “chill out”

– 37 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 41 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 45 seconds: “we didn’t do it”

– 1 minute 9 seconds: “hey officer”

Despite being described as a “shootout,” the audio suggests that shots are only being fired in one direction by police and that the brothers are not returning fire at this point in the exchange.

I still think the boys were involved in some portion of the bombing plot, at least as far as being instructed on how to make rudimentary explosives, but the evidence is far from conclusive that the actual bombs that went off were both placed by them. It still looks like they were part of a larger plot—and simply set up to take the fall, while the others, protected by government’s exclusive focus on these two, are allowed to escape.

It is also strange that the police immediately blamed the killing of the MIT policeman on the Tsarnaev brothers. They have no witnesses to the murder and have presented no ballistics matching the one weapon in the brother’s possession. No charges have been filed weeks after the bombing. How long does it take to get a bullet match?

The Military style clearing of a house in Watertown, MA is an object lesson in how easy it is to cower people into submission when government exaggerates an emergency and starts using military tactics—no warrant, no asking permission—just demands for compliance at the point of a gun. The police forced all 8 residents including 2 women to exit with hands up at gun point, while constantly issuing threatening words and brooking no questions or protestations. They were demanding instant compliance. House Clearing

Former Congressman Ron Paul lambasted the Boston Police for Police State tactics. “The Boston bombing provided the opportunity for the government to turn what should have been a police investigation into a military-style occupation of an American city.”

After seeing the video, I completely agree. Every patriotic American ought to make plans to relocate out of any large city that trains and operates as a militarized police force, ready to push citizens around without cause or warrant, and without any sense of duty to protect a citizen’s civil rights. Steve Watson from Infowars.com had these comments:

People think because these men in uniforms show up on their porch that they have to obey, that they have no right to refuse or any legal leg to stand on. Nothing could be further from the truth, but who is going to tell them? Not the police. If you stand up to them they will beat you. It’s going on all over America all the time, but you’ll only see it or hear about it in the alternative news or videos.

The story floated in the mainstream media that the door to door searches were conducted with the voluntary consent of the residents of Watertown is clearly false. 9000+ Police locked down an entire city and went in with full force, with armored vehicles and combat gear, all to search for an injured 19 year old kid who turned out to be cowering in someone’s back yard.

Katy Waldman of Slate wrote an article claiming that under dire circumstances police can suspend 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable searches:

In exigent circumstances, or emergency situations, police can conduct warrantless searches to protect public safety. This exception to the Fourth Amendment’s probable cause requirement normally addresses situations of “hot pursuit,” in which an escaping suspect is tracked to a private home. But it might also apply to the events unfolding in Boston if further harm or injury might be supposed to occur in the time it takes to secure a warrant.

This activity, once again, sets a shocking precedent. Police and military are training in these circumstances every single day of the year. They are fully acclimatized to the process, as if it is completely normal. They do not hesitate in carrying out such orders, which are now being implemented whenever the authorities deem a situation to be an emergency.

According to Israeli doctors at Beth Israel Hospital where both bombing suspects were taken, “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may never speak again.” The younder Tsarnaev brother, 19, was wounded in his throat, according to expatriate Israeli doctor Kevin Ilan Tabb of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Initially, the government claimed this was the result of a suicide attempt, but they’ve stopped claiming that little lie after it became known he was unarmed.

The CIA connection with the uncle: The most interesting new story this week is evidence linking a high level CIA operative, Graham Fuller, with the two suspect’s uncle Ruslan Tsarni. According to the New York Times in 1988, “Mr. Fuller’s name came to public attention last year when it was disclosed that he was the author of a ‘think piece’ circulated in the intelligence community in May 1985 suggesting the possibility of pursuing openings in Iran.” That’s mild CIA doublespeak for Fuller being part of the team that put together the illegal arms for hostage deal with the Iranians.

Evidence of this type of connection rarely proves that someone was actually under the control of the agency, but when all the pieces come together, it doesn’t paint a benign picture about Tsarni, his background in Russia, nor his ability to come back and forth to the US after dealing with some very bad people overseas.

The following are the claimed by various internet sites about Ruslan Tsarni and Graham Fuller, a high level CIA operative:

1) Tsarni was married to the daughter of CIA agent Graham Fuller in 1995.

2) He became an American citizen after the marriage to Fuller’s daughter, then divorced her.

3) Tsarni didn’t speak English very well back then. Fuller says he also spoke in Russian to him all the time back then. [which raises the question of how did the daughter communicate enough to marry him?]

4) Ruslan Tsarni’s listed residential address that of a home owned by Fuller—but Fuller wasn’t living there at the time

5) Tsarni filed incorporation papers for the Congress of Chechen International Organizations at his father-in-laws address, in 1995, right after “marrying” his daughter -which ended up being just for citizenship, as it didn’t last.

6) The Congress of Chechen International Organizations is a terrorist organization that let in a known terrorist, who went on to lead organization for rebels in Chechen,

There are errors in these claims: In reality, the marriage lasted for 3 years, so it may not have been a marriage only to provide citizenship for Tsarni, though that was certainly a part of it. The length they stayed together may be related to the CIA connection with the father.

The claim about the Congress of Chechen International Organizations connection is problematic for a couple of reasons. Connecting a single listed terrorist with an organization may simply be a reflection that this is a CIA front group providing false leads for future terror acts they want to blame on Chechnya. The Russians did that a lot when Chechnya was being blamed for attacks on Moscow apartments which were actually done by the KGB/FSB.

And then there is other data showing that the U.S.-based Congress of Chechen International Organizations was created in 1995 by Mohammed Shashani, a former professor of Pittsburgh University and an ethnic Chechen—not Tsarni. Something is amiss here.

But the more interesting article is by Bloomberg showing Ruslan’s shady past—perfect material for CIA black operations:

The uncle of the suspects in last week’s Boston Marathon bombing told a London court in 2010 that Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev had overseen the theft of state assets worth billions of dollars.

Ruslan Tsarni, who is from Kyrgyzstan, the former Soviet republic to the south of Kazakhstan, worked “in various capacities” with a closely knit network of associates led by Nazarbayev’s son-in-law [Ablyazov] from 2000 to 2008 that regularly engaged in fraudulent business practices, he said in a witness statement to the High Court in London in December 2010…

In his witness statement in defense of Ablyazov, Tsarni said Nazarbayev gave his “blessing” and protection to the group that rigged auctions of state assets, seized banks to sell for a fraction of their value to pre-determined buyers, and engaged in tax fraud and money laundering.

Comment: This is all pretty unusual for a common guy. After leaving America and Fuller’s daughter, he immediately gets involved with President Nursultan, his son-in-law and various shady associates in a deal that involves billions of dollars, and winds up testifying in a high profile London court case. They he simply waltzes back into the US, no problem.

However, the CIA monitors all these kinds of activities overseas. Are we to believe that Tsarni comes back into the US without the CIA monitoring his every move or tagging him as a person with unsavory connections? I doubt it, unless he’s already working for them.

Believe me, when a high level CIA operative like Graham Fuller (who helped initiate the Iran Contra arms deal with Iran) lets his daughter do a marriage of convenience with a foreign asset, there’s more to the story than love—and the relationship with the family doesn’t seem to end even after the marriage dissolves.

This whole story takes on even more significance after uncle Ruslan lashes out at the boys and tries to point the media toward the boys supposed handler who radicalized them—but he conveniently refuses to name the handler, or help the FBI find this source of radicalization. This leads to the suspicion that Tsarni may have been trying to point the media away from his own potential role as the boy’s handler.

Graham Fuller has been questioned about his connection with Tsarni.The UK Dailymail says:

Mr Fuller was forced to explain the relationship today as news of the family link emerged online. Ruslan Tsarni,[used to be Tsarnaev] who publicly denounced his two terrorist nephews’ actions and called them ‘Losers’, even lived with his father-in-law agent Graham Fuller in his Maryland home for a year.

He told Al-Monitor that his daughter, Samantha, was married to Ruslan, whose surname was then Tsarnaev, for three to four years in the 1990s. The couple divorced in 1999 more than ten years after he left the agency in 1987. “they lived in Bishkek for one year where Samantha was working for Price Waterhouse on privatization projects,” Mr Fuller said.

Of course, no one can be sure that a former CIA agent isn’t still employed by the government once he leaves the agency. Anytime a known CIA agent goes undercover as a civilian the process begins by publicly quitting the agency—even when they continue to get paid via other channels.

Price Waterhouse, by the way, is an insider big 3 accounting firm that has carried a lot of water for government black operations, and has, in the opinion of several critics, whitewashed many CIA front company’s books in the name of “national security.”

It is also of interest that Fuller now works for the RAND Corporation, a known CIA front, according to many sources. Paul Joseph Watson filed this report on RAND with Prison Planet.tv in 2010:

Cuban-born journalist and author Alex Abella was allowed exclusive access inside the RAND Corporation to view their archives. What he discovered was a plot driven by scientists, behaviorists, and generals who were intent on starting world war three and fleecing the American people in the process. Once he was a skeptic on the subject of conspiracy theories and the new world order, but after his work with the RAND Corporation he is now convinced that this top secret think tank has been pulling the strings of American government for at least 60 years.

People who don’t understand the conspiracy often come to incorrect conclusions like this—thinking that Rand or the CIA runs the government. It isn’t true. Others, totally unseen, run these secret bureaucracies from somewhere above the level of public government]

Abella charts how RAND started off as an organization centered around building new weapons for the military but ultimately expanded into politics, science, history and economics and was closely allied with the Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations [all insider-connected foundations promoting globalism and detente with our enemies]. RAND’s decision in the 50’s to re-model the globe towards a new world order [It wasn’t RAND’s decision—they were following orders] changed everything… RAND’s ultimate goal was to have technocrats running every aspect of society in pursuit of a one world government that would be administered under “the rule of reason,”

MARATHON BOMBING UPDATE—ANSWERS LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS
Due to the mass of amateur photos and videos being used in the moments before, during and after the Boston bombing, there has been more private evidence surrounding this supposed “terrorist” event than almost any previous high-profile catastrophe. Although spectators, runners and other outsiders were quickly pushed away from the scene, the massive investigative power of millions of interested people combing through pictures uploaded to social media and picture-sharing websites produced an impressive array of pictures and video that allowed the public to check police statements as they came in.
As the official version of events emerges from contradictory or outright false statements we are told there is more video and photos that provide “clear” and “chilling” proof against the Tsarnaev brothers. However, unlike the circumstantial clips released of the Chechan brothers, the most important videos are held back, forcing us to rely on the government’s word for it all. Given the constantly changing storyline from earlier statements of fact given by official spokespersons to the media this is not reassuring. Here then is a breakdown of what we know relative to what the government is telling us and the contradictions from publicly available evidence.
1) The marathon explosions
The official indictment (available at this website: http://rapgenius.com/Federal-bureau-of-investigation-charges-against-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-lyrics#lyric) describes the government’s evidence, but only includes the previously released circumstantial video and photographic evidence of the accused brothers near the bomb sites. The details relative to the criminal accusations in the indictment are supposedly backed up by additional video and photos which are described in detailed but this most important evidence is not included. Here is the central part of the narrative:

At approximately 2:42 p.m. (i.e., approximately seven minutes before the first explosion), Bomber One can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street towards the Marathon finish line. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen passing directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and continuing in the direction of the location where the first explosion occurred. His knapsack is still on his back.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., Bomber Two can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street toward the Marathon finishing line. He appears to have the thumb of his right hand hooked under the strap of his knapsack and a cell phone in his left hand. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen stopping directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and standing near the metal [barrier along the race route] among numerous spectators, with his back to the camera, facing the runners, He then can be seen apparently slipping his knapsack onto the ground. A photograph taken from the opposite side of the street shows the knapsack on the ground at Bomber Two’s feet.

The Forum Restaurant video shows that Bomber Two remained in the same spot for approximately four minutes, occasionally looking at his cell phone and once appearing to take a picture with it. At some point he appears to look at his phone, which is held at approximately waist level, and may be manipulating the phone. Approximately 30 seconds before the first explosion, he lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cell phone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds. A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion. Virtually every head turns to the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west, away from the direction of the finish line. He walks away without his knapsack, having left it on the ground where he had been standing. Approximately 10 seconds later, an explosion occurs in the location where Bomber Two had placed his knapsack.

It seems very suspicious that the FBI would release so many photos and video excerpts (including even partial and grainy shots as if they are presenting everything possible) showing the brothers in the area, but then they fail to produce the most conclusive evidence that matches what the indictment says.
This narrative is so specific that it would be very risky for a federal official to make such detailed reference to video evidence if they did not actually possess it—unless they already had a legal strategy worked out where the claimed evidence would be suppressed under the government’s habitual use of the State Secrets doctrine or via a compliant judge who has agreed in advance to seal the evidence. The suppression of key evidence has been a central part of every major government cover-up including the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations, Oklahoma City bombing and both WTC attacks.
Here are some of the problems with this part of the official scenario:
The backpack used in the bombing is shown here as part of the crime scene evidence along with the pressure cooker parts (scroll through 5 photos): http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/21996004/exclusive-photos-boston-marathon-bomb
Notice the black shoulder straps have lighter strips on them and to of the pack has a white square label. In contrast, the packs of the two brothers (visible here: http://politic365.com/2013/04/18/boston-marathon-bombing-fbi-posts-video-of-two-men-with-backpacks/) don’t match those markings. The pack of the older brother is dark gray without lighter strips on the straps nor a square white label. The pack of the younger brother is completely different—light colored, with some black trim. Neither backpack appears bulging sufficiently to account for pressure cookers which were at least 10 inches in diameter.
The Pressure Cooker Bomb. Yes, this is a common and necessary way to contain the charge of a relatively slow burning explosive like gunpowder. Without such a container the powder would simply burn rapidly without explosive force. It is a commonly available pressure container and there are numerous terrorists that have used them before. There is nothing unique here, other than to note that although this type of explosive device might be built by amateurs, the triggering mechanism are necessarily quite complex. So this primitive type of explosive may have been just to give the appearance that this was the work of amateurs using internet plans.
Authorities believe the bombs used gunpowder extracted from fireworks. A fireworks shop has confirmed from credit card records that Tamerlan purchased two large fireworks for about $400 in New Hampshire and many more fireworks have been found in their apartment or stashed nearby. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t reloading powder from a gun store—which would probably cause legislators to restrict all black powder purchases even further. As it is they’ll have trouble banning all fireworks to cut off this supply source. Still fireworks are an expensive way to get gunpowder—the $400 purchase didn’t even net a half pound of powder according to ABC News.
The Triggering Mechanism: The government’s story has changed 3 times on this crucial issue. First, investigators told the media that a sophisticated triggering mechanism was involved leading them to suspect they were part of a larger terrorist cell with “up to a dozen members.” How they could report that one day and then claim they acted alone the next, I don’t understand.
Then, the story changed to the use of common “hobby fuses.” These are green in color and used on everything from hobby rocket booster motors to large fire crackers. They must be ignited by a match or other very hot glowing source.
Now government investigators tell Congressmen who are part of the intelligence committee (only reliable yes-men are allowed on this committee) that the triggering mechanism was from a radio controlled remote used for toy cars. Let’s analyze this:
First the boys could not have lit the fuses manually. They would have had to have a fuse sticking out of the pressure cooker vent hole, opened their packs and manually ignited the fuse with a match. That would have been too obvious and even the government doesn’t claim they saw any such action on their exclusive video evidence.
Using a clock timer is the next easiest way to set off a bomb of this type for an amateur. Unlike plastic explosives gunpowder doesn’t need a blasting cap—a hot spark will do just fine. And, it is easier to create a spark with a clock timer and appropriate capacitors than to ignite a fuse, which requires a flame or some other miniature hot igniter. Clock timer bomb triggers usually connect to a type of electronic blasting cap, not a fuse. But, the government has insisted twice now that green colored hobby fuses were present in the bombs—probably deduced from the unexploded bombs they claim they found in the boy’s car. This rules out a clock timer because of the difficulty of coupling it to a fuse ignition source.
Compounding the difficulty with the fuses is the government’s claim that the brothers used radio controlled remote controllers common to motorized toys. Crime scene photos showed plastic pieces and a battery that look like something from a toy car or model airplane. Battery powered controllers are used on a variety of remote controlled toys, however we come up with the same objection to clock timers—the inability, or extreme difficulty, to light the fuse. Besides, the official indictment of the government does not match the radio remote type of trigger. No one observed the boys holding a remote control at the time of the explosions.
What the government accusation does claim is that the boys were holding a cell phone to their ear, 18 seconds in one case, until the bomb goes off. That’s a problem too, because all you have to do to trigger a cell phone activator is call the number. You don’t have to be listening to anything. The government seems reluctant to go for the cell phone trigger argument, because that clearly requires expertise in bomb making, but that’s what they are leaving us with. If they want us to believe that the boys coupled a cell phone call to a cell phone trigger that was, in turn, linked to a radio remote control unit which actually triggered the bomb, they are asking us to believe even more—all of this is could only be done by a real expert.
This is the biggest hole in their claim that these bombs were set off by the boys acting alone. And, if they did use these timers, then they had expert help. Personally, I think it was the latter, and is the first clue that government may have been involved. Despite all this, the government is now heading in the direction of claiming the boys acted alone, that they were radicalized alone and that no one else was involved. That I simple cannot believe.
Did the younger bomber flee with his backpack? I initially thought there was one picture that showed the younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, (who had the white hat on backwards) fleeing with his backpack on. I’ve changed my mind on that:
There is a high resolution iPad photo taken by David Green of Jacksonville Florida showing the boy running from the bombing. The lighting in the shadows is poor but we see his elbow to the rear as he runs, covering where the backpack would normally be. When I first saw this photo, brought to everyone’s attention by an amateur investigator prone to hype,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjocGidSLJw it appeared that the elbow going back and to the rear couldn’t be that long and that his backpack might still be visible. However, upon closer examination of an enlargement of the picture, I’m now convinced it only shows the elbow and not the backpack.
Everything from this point on gets murky—filled with contradictory claims between police and federal investigators and eye witnesses to the manhunt and subsequent take-down of the two brothers.
2) Shootout and Apprehension of Suspects
Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, the official police narrative said the Tsarnaev brothers robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store, ambushed a police officer on the campus of MIT, carjacked an SUV and then engaged in a high speed chase ending in a deadly shootout with police where Tamerlan and another officer were killed while Dzhokhar escaped and went on the run. A representative from the 7-Eleven chain later contradicted the police and reported that after reviewing all security cameras no robbery took place that night by the bombing suspects—adding to the growing list of contradictions to official statements errors that have never been clarified.
The Watertown police said the suspects set off grenades to try to stop police pursuit and that the stolen vehicle was later found to contain other explosive devices. Much of this information was false and fed to the media by Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau as he did an on-camera interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN.
In the battle the Chief claims the boys throw another explosive device at them and that they had various pipe bombs of “improved explosive devices,” making this seem like an Iraqi style terror event. He claims that the police had a raging gun battle with the well armed youths—who police now admit had only one gun between them—and that after several minutes the older brother Tamerlan stepped out from the SUV and started walking toward them shooting as he advanced. This is hard to believe that anyone would walk into a hail of gunfire from multiple police squad cars and not get hit or stopped.
Then the Chief claims that when Tamerlan was out of ammo, the police tackled and handcuffed him. We are supposed to believe one of the officers ran out into the open to do this rather than shoot him dead, disregarding the other brother who had more bombs to through. As a former combat trained Marine, I find it impossible to believe this version of events.
Finally the Chief makes the dramatic and unlikely claim that the younger Tsarnaev brother drove the SUV toward the tackled brother and ran over him as the police dive out of the way. He supposedly drags his brother under the car, killing him and then escapes. The two sources of evidence that we have of that evening contradicts this entire story.
First: A CNN video shows the police arresting a man who looks just like Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The arrested man is made to take off all his clothes to check for bombs, and then put into a squad car. He is later taken out of the car to be photographed and interrogated by another investigator and then told to put his clothes back on. The next day Dan Dicks of Press for Truth television listeners actually hear the voice of the aunt of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, telling Dicks that she is 100% certain that the man in the video is her nephew Tamerlan.
Second: An eyewitness of the shootout comes forward the next day and tells reporters that a police vehicle ran over Tamerlan and then they shot him afterward many times with multiple weapons. The doctor examining the dead older brother says there was not one part of his body not wounded. When you see the picture of his dead body (caution: very graphic image) , http://i.imgur.com/0U0ozqt.jpg you’ll see a huge gaping wound on the side of the chest, that is not explained by gunfire or being hit by a car at fairly slow speeds. One website said that doctors created this opening to help save his life. But others say he was dead long before he got there. I’m not aware of any medical procedure like what is shown, causing a huge jagged hole, cutting across multiple ribs and exposing the whole lung cavity that could possibly have a beneficial medical outcome. This unauthorized picture was taken and circulated by someone in law enforcement gloating over the kill.
It is hard to try to piece together everything that happened that night. So far it seems that the older brother was alive and in the custody of police—and somehow was put back on the street and killed by police in this bizarre and conflicting shootout. Worse, when it was all over the police had to admit, that there was only one semi-auto pistol between both suspects and that was wielded by the older brother. –Some raging gun battle!
Many facts also don’t add up with the final apprehension of Dzhokhar the next evening. Video and eyewitness accounts attest to multiple bursts of gunfire along with flash grenade explosions, but since the boy wasn’t armed the fusillade of bullets aimed at the brother holed up in a parked boat was clearly unjustified.
The official story is that the younger brother exits the boat after being surrounded by police and tries to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth but only doing damage to his throat—keeping him from being able to speak. The live video feed of his capture, however, shows him emerging from the boat on his own power quite alive, and UNARMED. If he tried to commit suicide, where did he get the gun? Why now instead of in the boat? The whole story doesn’t make sense.
3) Why did the FBI claim not to know who the suspects were? After the dramatic killing and capture of the bombing suspects seemed to seal the case against them, the family of the boys cried foul saying the FBI had been tracking Tamerlan for years. Here’s a good synopsis by Activist Post.

Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance on who they were, asking for the public’s help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were? The fact that they were lying proves they have something(s) to hide. Remember the FBI is saying the following:

“These photos should be the only ones the public should view to assist us. Other photos should not be deemed credible. They unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources.” [This is suspicious in that it appears the FBI wanted to make sure only these two were caught and prosecuted—a sign that this might be a ploy to deter any investigation of others involved].

This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was “monitoring them at every step”, according to their own admission. The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects.

CBS reported “The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.”

The FBI story then changed again when the government claimed that the Russian FSB had contacted the FBI last year when the older suspect Tamerlan Tsaranaev went to Russia, Daghestan and Chechnya. According to the FBI the Russians were concerned about Americans of Chechen descent coming over to Chechnya or Dagestan in order to foment trouble. The FBI claims the Russians were worried about his “radicalization.”
However, this is very one-sided evidence coming only from the FBI, who had every reason to invent an excuse of why they had previous contact with the boys, and why it lead “nowhere” as they claim.
Even the Russian’s claimed concern in this is suspect since the KGB/FSB itself has been responsible for creating false flag terror bombings of their own and blaming them on the Chechens (examples: Moscow apartment and subway bombings, and the Breslin school terror attack)—a storyline dutifully repeated many times by the US mainstream media. The Atlantic’s Tom Balmforth gives the best summary of what went on during Tamerlan’s visit to his relatives in southern Russia:

In an interview that raises as many questions as it answers, Tsarnaev’s aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, says her nephew began a six-month stay in Daghestan in March 2012 — possibly even earlier — when his mother and father were both in the United States and not, as previously reported, with him. “[Tamerlan] was here without his father for two months. His father came here later, in May, but [Tamerlan] arrived earlier,” she says.

Many observers are hoping to find a clue to Tsarnaev’s motives and behavior in the time he spent time in the bustling Caspian Sea city of Makhachkala, the capital of a Russian province troubled by a simmering Islamist insurgency.

That contradicts a statement made by Anzor Tsarnaev [father] in an interview on April 21, in which he vouched for his son and said he was never far from his side during their visit to Daghestan. Anzor Tsarnaev said his son slept in late during the day, prayed, helped renovate the family home, and visited relatives in Makhachkala and twice in neighboring Chechnya.

Suleimanova says Tamerlan Tsarnaev was deeply religious by the time he arrived in Makhachkala. She says he prayed regularly and went to the mosque, although she was unable to specify which mosque.

The aunt and the father told other reporters that Tamerlan always visited with other relatives when he went traveling around, but they always “knew where he was.” There doesn’t appear to have been a lot of opportunity to get involved with terrorist training camps.
Rather than concentrate on Tamerlan representing some foreign Chechen terrorists—who have openly denied having targeted the US—more attention should be addressed to the contact he had in the states. But the FBI shows no interest anymore now that they have announced they acted alone. However, one lead that has surfaced is an Albanian named “Misha.” CNN reported this interview with the uncle:

The evolution of Tamerlan Tsarnaev from aspiring Olympic boxer to apparent radical jihadist may have been influenced by a friend in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely,” Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN from his home in Maryland, describing the friend as an Armenian convert to Islam. Tsarni told CNN he was so concerned about someone brainwashing his nephew that he called a family friend in the Cambridge area to investigate.

While Tsarni did not give the friend’s name [which I find strange], The Associated Press reported that other members of Tsarnaev’s family said the friend goes by the name “Misha.” Asked about those reports, Elmirza Khozhgov, a former brother-in-law of Tsarnaev, told CNN Tsarnaev once introduced him to someone by that name who was an Armenian convert. He said he was not told Misha’s full name.

“It seemed to me that Misha had influence on Tamerlan,” apparently encouraging him to give up boxing because it “is violent,” Khozhgov told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Misha” taught Tsarnaev “things that would make Tamerlan go away from the people and go more into the religion,” Khozhgov said, but “I didn’t witness him making him radical.”

Officials have not responded to requests for comment on someone named “Misha.” Lawmakers briefed Tuesday on the investigation told CNN they had not heard of anyone by that name. The Islamic Society of Boston told CNN Wednesday that so far no one in its network reported knowing a “Misha” who fit that description.

The government is strangely not interested in pursuing Misha, just as they refused to pursue any of the suspects referred to as “John Doe #2” during the OKC bombing— one Hussein al Husseini who ended up working for the FBI. Back to the FBI’s prior relationship with the family, the Activist Post continues:

The suspects’ family also state that they were well aware of an ongoing relationship between the FBI and the boys. Family members said they were “monitored” and “counseled” at every step, and the FBI was “controlling” and “following” them for years [the FBI tries to downplay the depth of their involvement with the family, implying it was only last year—which is in itself an indication that they are hiding much of what they were doing].

Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions: “They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me … they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him,” Tsarnaeva said.

It’s no wonder the Mother feels her sons were “set up.” She said,

“They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act!”

So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but “failed to find any incriminating information about him” while telling their mother that “he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him.” (lie #3)

There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBI’s blatant lies; either they’re covering up their complete incompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or they’re covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as they’ve done in countless other fake terror plot cases.

Sadly, the latter is the conclusion I have reached. The mistakes they make happen because they can’t control all of the people that are involved in a complex false-flag operation. Much depends on their ability to control the press after the fact and direct the flow of information. In this case they have to steer the media pundits from asking the obvious questions, such as:
4) Why did the suspects not flee? The boys did not leave Boston or act guilty after the event nor did they go into hiding. The FBI never showed up at their home to arrest them even though they knew where they lived. The younger Tsarnaev brother even went to a college party and his friends said he seemed relaxed and totally normal. However, a couple of days after the event, the mother said that the younger brother told her the FBI called them accusing them of the bombing and that they feared for their lives.
Predictably the two suspects go on the run after the FBI calls the home and talks to the boys. Why didn’t the FBI just show up and arrest them as they do with all other criminals? Why call the suspect and alert him that you are coming to arrest him unless you are trying to spook them into running?
If these two were involved in a large cell controlled by an FBI informer/agent provocateur, and were the designated patsies to take the entire blame, then it is clearly a benefit to the planners of such a black operation that they be killed and not arrested where they might be able to tell more than would be convenient. Certainly, they would have eventually told of everyone else involved in providing them the knowledge and equipment necessary to pull this off.
The FBI has a secret policy of sending into every Mosque in the US not only informers but agent provocateurs, looking for disgruntled young Muslims that can be enticed into planning terrorist acts. The purpose seems not merely to inform, but to goad, entice, help plan and even supply bomb making technology to help Muslims commit terror—or at least get far enough into entrapment to be arrested.
Shifting the Blame: Government leakers and spokespersons are focusing on the storyline that the two brothers were acting alone. WsbTV.com in Atlanta reports that,

The Senate Intelligence Committee panel was briefed by federal law enforcement officials Tuesday as well. Members of the panel said there is “no question” that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “the dominant force” behind the Boston attacks, and that him and his brother had apparently been radicalized by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.

This is convenient because it allows the news media to shift the blame for radicalization onto those who they claim may have helped radicalized them—specifically, the Right wing internet websites involved in the 9/11 truth movement, which are particularly energizing to Muslims who feel that the US has unjustly intervened and occupied Muslim countries around the world based upon false-flag provocations like the 9/11 attacks.
It is an interesting fact that many more people outside the United States believe that our government was responsible for setting the explosives in the World Trade Center towers than inside the US. Foreigners aren’t subjected to the same constant drum beat of propaganda against conspiracy or the regular demonization of the few courageous Americans that are not afraid to put the facts before the people.
In the United States there is a literal vendetta against conspiracy, specifically from mainstream or faux conservative talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly who target certain alternative media outlets like Alex Jones and his formidable news organization that is always on the cutting edge ferreting out the truth in government black operations.
Government foreknowledge? Yes, there is even some evidence of foreknowledge. We have finally found out the identity of the private contractors in Khaki pants and dark jackets with backpacks. It turns out these guys are members of the Massachusetts National Guard Civilian Security Team (CST), which is trained to handle Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Explosive bomb analysis. http://theminorityreport.forummotion.com/t1335-identity-of-the-khaki-wearing-boston-bombing-operatives-revealed
The uniform they are wearing (khaki pants and boots and Navy Blue shirts or jackets) is a common one used by federal agencies (even the Secret Service) when out in the public. This is confirmation of the reports that a bomb drill was going on during the marathon as I covered last week.
I believe the backpacks contained anti-contamination suits which they could don if their meters indicated hazardous substances from a blast—that’s why we see one such individual in a picture with a hand held radiation meter after the explosions. However, I have no explanation for why some of them would have a “Punisher” skull on their shirt and hat since the rest of their outfit was clearly a kind of uniform—other than their link to former military service in the Navy Seals or Special Force who have also used this comic book logo.
But what is important is that their presence does show that the government expected a bomb incident, which is telling of a false flag event. Having a drill or exercise is a convenient cover for bringing in these specialized federal personnel. It is also strange that the government never made any effort to answer the public’s questions about them swirling all over the net. They could have easily done so, but never did. This is additional evidence that they don’t want the public knowing about these special teams—lest people come to a conclusion about prior knowledge.
At least one US Senator knew that some agency had prior knowledge (also reported in the previously cited WsbTV.com Atlanta link):
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told Channel 2 Action News late Tuesday afternoon that a law enforcement agency may have had information in advance of the Boston bombings that wasn’t properly shared. [That’s always the conclusion—that it wasn’t shared—no implication about what foreknowledge portends about government involvement in false flag operations]

“There now appears that may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it could have been. If that turns out to be the case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference,” Chambliss said.

Some background on government false flag operations: Let’s now look at this attack and compare it to other attacks the US government’s black ops has directed in order to foment and build up this war on terror. Such acts not only justify the continued intervention in other Muslim nations, which has as its ultimate goal prepping the world for a future World War, but to also justify restricting the civil rights and constitutional protections of citizens here at home. Here are the key anomalies I have noticed in the past which point to government induced terror:
First: Terror attacks in the US are always high profile which is not typical for normal acts of terror. Compare this to the regular terror attacks in Israel. There is ample hatred among Palestinians against both the Israeli government and its civilian population which drives consistent kinds of suicide bombings which attack Israeli civilians–at malls, in buses and in crowded shopping areas.
Strangely, in the US we’ve had NO examples of this kind of normal terror, only high profile attacks on such things as the World Trade Centers (twice). Real terror attacks by the Islamist world would send extremists through the porous southern border every week to blow up railroad tracks, electrical pylons or set off car bombs in shopping malls and crowded areas in border towns. We have seen NONE of these, even though thousands of illegals cross the border every day. No one questions why.
But our own government loses no time in using these high profile attacks to justify a curtailment of liberty and essential legal protections against surveillance, indefinite detention and habeas corpus. High profile attacks clearly serve a key globalist agenda of justifying constant warfare and restricting constitutional liberties at home. Ultimately, that agenda is linked to a conspiracy to take down American liberty and force our people, under the exigencies of war and conflict, to accept a global government devoid of real protection of individual rights.
Second: No one claims responsibility for these high profile attacks. That’s a sign they aren’t done by the Islamists the government claims. Normal terrorists have historically claimed responsibility for every hijacking, every attack on the Olympics and every suicide bombing—to show their supporters that they are able to get back at their enemies and destabilize Western nations by making them feel vulnerable. Terror is never done just to kill. It is done to fight for a larger agenda. How is the terrorist’s purpose served if no one claims responsibility? That leaves it to our own government to conveniently place the blame on whomever it will to further its own agenda. Here are three major examples:
No one claimed responsibility for TWA 800. That’s because it was shot down by an errant missile from a US Naval missile exercise going on in the military restricted area (MOA) in the ocean below. A Navy drone was seen flying over Long Island which is proof there was a missile exercise going on at the time. The government decided to engage in a massive cover up rather than admit the mistake, and spent a million dollars with the CIA to create a falsified video blaming the tragic explosion on some mythical spark in a fuel tank.
No one claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma City Bombing. But it was orchestrated specifically to place blame on right wing militias. The patsy, Timothy McVeigh, was lured into black operations after serving in the Army and was set up with various agent provocateurs to assist him with the bomb. Terry Nichols, who did have a Right wing background was brought into the scheme to secure a more believable link to the Right wing militias.
However, the story of a single bomb and the lone bomber began to unravel when evidence of other bombs were discovered, planted inside and around the building, and captured on film by local TV crews. These could not have been placed by McVeigh who was only filmed approaching the building once. It was the government itself that suppressed the evidence of these other accomplices, and bombs. They also suppressed the seismic evidence showing two explosions and the surveillance videos that would have showed the shaking from two explosion. When the feds finally released the videos experts could see they had been edited to cut out the parts showing the second seismic event.
Lastly, no one claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. The CIA created a couple of false videos trying to make it look like bin Laden was behind it, but experts say these were clearly fakes using various look-alike persons. The government covered up so many of the details in this attack, one can only wonder what were they trying to hide. Details such as the stand down of interceptor aircraft, refusing to allow any experts to examine the debris of the WTC collapse including the tons of molten steel deep in the basement areas, the silencing of witnesses to the controlled explosion of WTC-7, the suppression of surveillance videos surrounding the Pentagon attack, and the altering, omission or falsifying of testimony before the rigged 9/11 commission.
As eager as the mainstream media will be to print and believe whatever government investigators come up with in this latest attack, additional millions of Americans have become permanent skeptics about any official version—having been lied to so many times in virtually all of the former official investigations into conspiracies of the past.
What happened in Boston this week fits the pattern of government black operations in fomenting the fear of terror. It was a high profile event, and no terrorist group has taken credit. There was a bomb detection exercise going on that could have provided cover for the placement of the bombs. No one knows for sure, and like the other very secret conspiracies mentioned, we may never know because the government holds all the secrets and controls the investigative and surveillance process. But we have to consider it a possibility given the government’s history of false flag terror attacks—going back to even Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Maine.
In Conclusion: Where will this lead? What we saw happen in Boston during the lockdown of the city as they searched for a single suspect on the run was so over-the-top that I’m shocked at how easy it was to pull off with nary a whimper of protest from the over 1 million people ordered to “shelter in place.” This attack also moved forward in a quantum leap the tendency of American’s to yield to any level of militarization of law enforcement and loss of civil rights if the provocation is big enough. We saw the city of Boston and all other suburbs put under lockdown without even declaring martial law—which certainly would not have been necessary for the pursuit of two criminal suspects. High speed and violent pursuits of criminals happen all the time in large cities and the city is never put into lockdown.
Worse, people were ordered out of their homes and told to lay on the ground without probable cause or without warrants—and no one complained. It’s one thing to have to police ask if you will voluntarily allow a search in times of exigency, but to order people around like this was improper and unlawful. Backpacks are now banned at most large gatherings. We will probably see a much high presence of militarized law enforcement enforcing TSA style searches “for our own protection.”
There has also been a push to dump constitutional protections. The younger Tsarnaev brother is a naturalized US citizen. Incredibly, both liberals like Democratic Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg and so-called conservative Senator Lindsay Graham recommended dumping constitutional rights and declaring this suspect an enemy combatant.
They may have to revert to that because federal investigators got the wounded Tsarnaev brother to admit to a lot of things before they read him his Miranda rights. Now he isn’t talking. His lawyer is going to have a field day with the fed’s violation of his rights. But, I suspect the courts may take up the call of Bloomberg and Graham and allow it due to this high profile event. Truly these people never let a “good crisis go to waste.”
Even the Canadian government is using the terror attack to accelerate passage of its version of the NDAA authorization of indefinite detention. The Globe and Mail said,

The Harper government is using the Boston Marathon bombing to expedite the passage of a relatively slow-moving bill that would restrict civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. The Conservative have cleared time in their legislative agenda Monday and Tuesday to conduct third-reading debate on S-7, legislation that would authorize police to pre-emptively detain Canadians and hold them for up to three days without charging them.

Did the Tsarnaev brothers do it? I do believe they were involved in a plot that day, and had some role, but there are many possibilities that need to be probed. Were they part of a larger group and specifically set up to take the entire blame? I’m certain they were. Were there present in this larger group FBI agent provocateurs who directed the planning, and provided sophisticated equipment like the trigger mechanisms? I think that such direction was present.
FBI agent provocateurs (who the Bureau always labels merely as “informants” but who actually actively encourage and direct terrorist acts) have been involved in guiding the activities of every Muslim terrorist prosecuted since 9/11, with the possible exception of the amateurish Times Square bomb that fizzled.
It is amazing that there has not been more blowback (unintended effects of a black operation) from the revelations of this bombing. A real media discussion of this event would cast a negative light on our support of Syria’s Islamist rebels. Instead it looks like the PTB will try to push us over the edge by engaging more directly in the conflict.

MARATHON BOMBING UPDATE—ANSWERS LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS

Due to the mass of amateur photos and videos being used in the moments before, during and after the Boston bombing, there has been more private evidence surrounding this supposed “terrorist” event than almost any previous high-profile catastrophe. Although spectators, runners and other outsiders were quickly pushed away from the scene, the massive investigative power of millions of interested people combing through pictures uploaded to social media and picture-sharing websites produced an impressive array of pictures and video that allowed the public to check police statements as they came in.

As the official version of events emerges from contradictory or outright false statements we are told there is more video and photos that provide “clear” and “chilling” proof against the Tsarnaev brothers. However, unlike the circumstantial clips released of the Chechan brothers, the most important videos are held back, forcing us to rely on the government’s word for it all. Given the constantly changing storyline from earlier statements of fact given by official spokespersons to the media this is not reassuring. Here then is a breakdown of what we know relative to what the government is telling us and the contradictions from publicly available evidence.

1) The marathon explosions

The official indictment (available at this website: http://rapgenius.com/Federal-bureau-of-investigation-charges-against-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-lyrics#lyric) describes the government’s evidence, but only includes the previously released circumstantial video and photographic evidence of the accused brothers near the bomb sites. The details relative to the criminal accusations in the indictment are supposedly backed up by additional video and photos which are described in detailed but this most important evidence is not included. Here is the central part of the narrative:

At approximately 2:42 p.m. (i.e., approximately seven minutes before the first explosion), Bomber One can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street towards the Marathon finish line. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen passing directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and continuing in the direction of the location where the first explosion occurred. His knapsack is still on his back.

At approximately 2:45 p.m., Bomber Two can be seen detaching himself from the crowd and walking east on Boylston Street toward the Marathon finishing line. He appears to have the thumb of his right hand hooked under the strap of his knapsack and a cell phone in his left hand. Approximately 15 seconds later, he can be seen stopping directly in front of the Forum Restaurant and standing near the metal [barrier along the race route] among numerous spectators, with his back to the camera, facing the runners, He then can be seen apparently slipping his knapsack onto the ground. A photograph taken from the opposite side of the street shows the knapsack on the ground at Bomber Two’s feet.

The Forum Restaurant video shows that Bomber Two remained in the same spot for approximately four minutes, occasionally looking at his cell phone and once appearing to take a picture with it. At some point he appears to look at his phone, which is held at approximately waist level, and may be manipulating the phone. Approximately 30 seconds before the first explosion, he lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cell phone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds. A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion. Virtually every head turns to the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west, away from the direction of the finish line. He walks away without his knapsack, having left it on the ground where he had been standing. Approximately 10 seconds later, an explosion occurs in the location where Bomber Two had placed his knapsack.

It seems very suspicious that the FBI would release so many photos and video excerpts (including even partial and grainy shots as if they are presenting everything possible) showing the brothers in the area, but then they fail to produce the most conclusive evidence that matches what the indictment says.

This narrative is so specific that it would be very risky for a federal official to make such detailed reference to video evidence if they did not actually possess it—unless they already had a legal strategy worked out where the claimed evidence would be suppressed under the government’s habitual use of the State Secrets doctrine or via a compliant judge who has agreed in advance to seal the evidence. The suppression of key evidence has been a central part of every major government cover-up including the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations, Oklahoma City bombing and both WTC attacks.

Here are some of the problems with this part of the official scenario:

The backpack used in the bombing is shown here as part of the crime scene evidence along with the pressure cooker parts (scroll through 5 photos): http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/21996004/exclusive-photos-boston-marathon-bomb

Notice the black shoulder straps have lighter strips on them and to of the pack has a white square label. In contrast, the packs of the two brothers (visible here: http://politic365.com/2013/04/18/boston-marathon-bombing-fbi-posts-video-of-two-men-with-backpacks/) don’t match those markings. The pack of the older brother is dark gray without lighter strips on the straps nor a square white label. The pack of the younger brother is completely different—light colored, with some black trim. Neither backpack appears bulging sufficiently to account for pressure cookers which were at least 10 inches in diameter.

The Pressure Cooker Bomb. Yes, this is a common and necessary way to contain the charge of a relatively slow burning explosive like gunpowder. Without such a container the powder would simply burn rapidly without explosive force. It is a commonly available pressure container and there are numerous terrorists that have used them before. There is nothing unique here, other than to note that although this type of explosive device might be built by amateurs, the triggering mechanism are necessarily quite complex. So this primitive type of explosive may have been just to give the appearance that this was the work of amateurs using internet plans.

Authorities believe the bombs used gunpowder extracted from fireworks. A fireworks shop has confirmed from credit card records that Tamerlan purchased two large fireworks for about $400 in New Hampshire and many more fireworks have been found in their apartment or stashed nearby. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t reloading powder from a gun store—which would probably cause legislators to restrict all black powder purchases even further. As it is they’ll have trouble banning all fireworks to cut off this supply source. Still fireworks are an expensive way to get gunpowder—the $400 purchase didn’t even net a half pound of powder according to ABC News.

The Triggering Mechanism: The government’s story has changed 3 times on this crucial issue. First, investigators told the media that a sophisticated triggering mechanism was involved leading them to suspect they were part of a larger terrorist cell with “up to a dozen members.” How they could report that one day and then claim they acted alone the next, I don’t understand.

Then, the story changed to the use of common “hobby fuses.” These are green in color and used on everything from hobby rocket booster motors to large fire crackers. They must be ignited by a match or other very hot glowing source.

Now government investigators tell Congressmen who are part of the intelligence committee (only reliable yes-men are allowed on this committee) that the triggering mechanism was from a radio controlled remote used for toy cars. Let’s analyze this:

First the boys could not have lit the fuses manually. They would have had to have a fuse sticking out of the pressure cooker vent hole, opened their packs and manually ignited the fuse with a match. That would have been too obvious and even the government doesn’t claim they saw any such action on their exclusive video evidence.

Using a clock timer is the next easiest way to set off a bomb of this type for an amateur. Unlike plastic explosives gunpowder doesn’t need a blasting cap—a hot spark will do just fine. And, it is easier to create a spark with a clock timer and appropriate capacitors than to ignite a fuse, which requires a flame or some other miniature hot igniter. Clock timer bomb triggers usually connect to a type of electronic blasting cap, not a fuse. But, the government has insisted twice now that green colored hobby fuses were present in the bombs—probably deduced from the unexploded bombs they claim they found in the boy’s car. This rules out a clock timer because of the difficulty of coupling it to a fuse ignition source.

Compounding the difficulty with the fuses is the government’s claim that the brothers used radio controlled remote controllers common to motorized toys. Crime scene photos showed plastic pieces and a battery that look like something from a toy car or model airplane. Battery powered controllers are used on a variety of remote controlled toys, however we come up with the same objection to clock timers—the inability, or extreme difficulty, to light the fuse. Besides, the official indictment of the government does not match the radio remote type of trigger. No one observed the boys holding a remote control at the time of the explosions.

What the government accusation does claim is that the boys were holding a cell phone to their ear, 18 seconds in one case, until the bomb goes off. That’s a problem too, because all you have to do to trigger a cell phone activator is call the number. You don’t have to be listening to anything. The government seems reluctant to go for the cell phone trigger argument, because that clearly requires expertise in bomb making, but that’s what they are leaving us with. If they want us to believe that the boys coupled a cell phone call to a cell phone trigger that was, in turn, linked to a radio remote control unit which actually triggered the bomb, they are asking us to believe even more—all of this is could only be done by a real expert.

This is the biggest hole in their claim that these bombs were set off by the boys acting alone. And, if they did use these timers, then they had expert help. Personally, I think it was the latter, and is the first clue that government may have been involved. Despite all this, the government is now heading in the direction of claiming the boys acted alone, that they were radicalized alone and that no one else was involved. That I simple cannot believe.

Did the younger bomber flee with his backpack? I initially thought there was one picture that showed the younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, (who had the white hat on backwards) fleeing with his backpack on. I’ve changed my mind on that:

There is a high resolution iPad photo taken by David Green of Jacksonville Florida showing the boy running from the bombing. The lighting in the shadows is poor but we see his elbow to the rear as he runs, covering where the backpack would normally be. When I first saw this photo, brought to everyone’s attention by an amateur investigator prone to hype,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjocGidSLJw it appeared that the elbow going back and to the rear couldn’t be that long and that his backpack might still be visible. However, upon closer examination of an enlargement of the picture, I’m now convinced it only shows the elbow and not the backpack.

Everything from this point on gets murky—filled with contradictory claims between police and federal investigators and eye witnesses to the manhunt and subsequent take-down of the two brothers.

2) Shootout and Apprehension of Suspects

Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, the official police narrative said the Tsarnaev brothers robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store, ambushed a police officer on the campus of MIT, carjacked an SUV and then engaged in a high speed chase ending in a deadly shootout with police where Tamerlan and another officer were killed while Dzhokhar escaped and went on the run. A representative from the 7-Eleven chain later contradicted the police and reported that after reviewing all security cameras no robbery took place that night by the bombing suspects—adding to the growing list of contradictions to official statements errors that have never been clarified.

The Watertown police said the suspects set off grenades to try to stop police pursuit and that the stolen vehicle was later found to contain other explosive devices. Much of this information was false and fed to the media by Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau as he did an on-camera interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN.

In the battle the Chief claims the boys throw another explosive device at them and that they had various pipe bombs of “improved explosive devices,” making this seem like an Iraqi style terror event. He claims that the police had a raging gun battle with the well armed youths—who police now admit had only one gun between them—and that after several minutes the older brother Tamerlan stepped out from the SUV and started walking toward them shooting as he advanced. This is hard to believe that anyone would walk into a hail of gunfire from multiple police squad cars and not get hit or stopped.

Then the Chief claims that when Tamerlan was out of ammo, the police tackled and handcuffed him. We are supposed to believe one of the officers ran out into the open to do this rather than shoot him dead, disregarding the other brother who had more bombs to through. As a former combat trained Marine, I find it impossible to believe this version of events.

Finally the Chief makes the dramatic and unlikely claim that the younger Tsarnaev brother drove the SUV toward the tackled brother and ran over him as the police dive out of the way. He supposedly drags his brother under the car, killing him and then escapes. The two sources of evidence that we have of that evening contradicts this entire story.

First: A CNN video shows the police arresting a man who looks just like Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The arrested man is made to take off all his clothes to check for bombs, and then put into a squad car. He is later taken out of the car to be photographed and interrogated by another investigator and then told to put his clothes back on. The next day Dan Dicks of Press for Truth television listeners actually hear the voice of the aunt of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, telling Dicks that she is 100% certain that the man in the video is her nephew Tamerlan.

Second: An eyewitness of the shootout comes forward the next day and tells reporters that a police vehicle ran over Tamerlan and then they shot him afterward many times with multiple weapons. The doctor examining the dead older brother says there was not one part of his body not wounded. When you see the picture of his dead body (caution: very graphic image) , http://i.imgur.com/0U0ozqt.jpg you’ll see a huge gaping wound on the side of the chest, that is not explained by gunfire or being hit by a car at fairly slow speeds. One website said that doctors created this opening to help save his life. But others say he was dead long before he got there. I’m not aware of any medical procedure like what is shown, causing a huge jagged hole, cutting across multiple ribs and exposing the whole lung cavity that could possibly have a beneficial medical outcome. This unauthorized picture was taken and circulated by someone in law enforcement gloating over the kill.

It is hard to try to piece together everything that happened that night. So far it seems that the older brother was alive and in the custody of police—and somehow was put back on the street and killed by police in this bizarre and conflicting shootout. Worse, when it was all over the police had to admit, that there was only one semi-auto pistol between both suspects and that was wielded by the older brother. –Some raging gun battle!

Many facts also don’t add up with the final apprehension of Dzhokhar the next evening. Video and eyewitness accounts attest to multiple bursts of gunfire along with flash grenade explosions, but since the boy wasn’t armed the fusillade of bullets aimed at the brother holed up in a parked boat was clearly unjustified.

The official story is that the younger brother exits the boat after being surrounded by police and tries to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth but only doing damage to his throat—keeping him from being able to speak. The live video feed of his capture, however, shows him emerging from the boat on his own power quite alive, and UNARMED. If he tried to commit suicide, where did he get the gun? Why now instead of in the boat? The whole story doesn’t make sense.

3) Why did the FBI claim not to know who the suspects were? After the dramatic killing and capture of the bombing suspects seemed to seal the case against them, the family of the boys cried foul saying the FBI had been tracking Tamerlan for years. Here’s a good synopsis by Activist Post.

Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance on who they were, asking for the public’s help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were? The fact that they were lying proves they have something(s) to hide. Remember the FBI is saying the following:

“These photos should be the only ones the public should view to assist us. Other photos should not be deemed credible. They unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law enforcement resources.” [This is suspicious in that it appears the FBI wanted to make sure only these two were caught and prosecuted—a sign that this might be a ploy to deter any investigation of others involved].

This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was “monitoring them at every step”, according to their own admission. The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects.

CBS reported “The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.”

The FBI story then changed again when the government claimed that the Russian FSB had contacted the FBI last year when the older suspect Tamerlan Tsaranaev went to Russia, Daghestan and Chechnya. According to the FBI the Russians were concerned about Americans of Chechen descent coming over to Chechnya or Dagestan in order to foment trouble. The FBI claims the Russians were worried about his “radicalization.”

However, this is very one-sided evidence coming only from the FBI, who had every reason to invent an excuse of why they had previous contact with the boys, and why it lead “nowhere” as they claim.

Even the Russian’s claimed concern in this is suspect since the KGB/FSB itself has been responsible for creating false flag terror bombings of their own and blaming them on the Chechens (examples: Moscow apartment and subway bombings, and the Breslin school terror attack)—a storyline dutifully repeated many times by the US mainstream media. The Atlantic’s Tom Balmforth gives the best summary of what went on during Tamerlan’s visit to his relatives in southern Russia:

In an interview that raises as many questions as it answers, Tsarnaev’s aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, says her nephew began a six-month stay in Daghestan in March 2012 — possibly even earlier — when his mother and father were both in the United States and not, as previously reported, with him. “[Tamerlan] was here without his father for two months. His father came here later, in May, but [Tamerlan] arrived earlier,” she says.

Many observers are hoping to find a clue to Tsarnaev’s motives and behavior in the time he spent time in the bustling Caspian Sea city of Makhachkala, the capital of a Russian province troubled by a simmering Islamist insurgency.

That contradicts a statement made by Anzor Tsarnaev [father] in an interview on April 21, in which he vouched for his son and said he was never far from his side during their visit to Daghestan. Anzor Tsarnaev said his son slept in late during the day, prayed, helped renovate the family home, and visited relatives in Makhachkala and twice in neighboring Chechnya.

Suleimanova says Tamerlan Tsarnaev was deeply religious by the time he arrived in Makhachkala. She says he prayed regularly and went to the mosque, although she was unable to specify which mosque.

The aunt and the father told other reporters that Tamerlan always visited with other relatives when he went traveling around, but they always “knew where he was.” There doesn’t appear to have been a lot of opportunity to get involved with terrorist training camps.

Rather than concentrate on Tamerlan representing some foreign Chechen terrorists—who have openly denied having targeted the US—more attention should be addressed to the contact he had in the states. But the FBI shows no interest anymore now that they have announced they acted alone. However, one lead that has surfaced is an Albanian named “Misha.” CNN reported this interview with the uncle:

The evolution of Tamerlan Tsarnaev from aspiring Olympic boxer to apparent radical jihadist may have been influenced by a friend in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely,” Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN from his home in Maryland, describing the friend as an Armenian convert to Islam. Tsarni told CNN he was so concerned about someone brainwashing his nephew that he called a family friend in the Cambridge area to investigate.

While Tsarni did not give the friend’s name [which I find strange], The Associated Press reported that other members of Tsarnaev’s family said the friend goes by the name “Misha.” Asked about those reports, Elmirza Khozhgov, a former brother-in-law of Tsarnaev, told CNN Tsarnaev once introduced him to someone by that name who was an Armenian convert. He said he was not told Misha’s full name.

“It seemed to me that Misha had influence on Tamerlan,” apparently encouraging him to give up boxing because it “is violent,” Khozhgov told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Misha” taught Tsarnaev “things that would make Tamerlan go away from the people and go more into the religion,” Khozhgov said, but “I didn’t witness him making him radical.”

Officials have not responded to requests for comment on someone named “Misha.” Lawmakers briefed Tuesday on the investigation told CNN they had not heard of anyone by that name. The Islamic Society of Boston told CNN Wednesday that so far no one in its network reported knowing a “Misha” who fit that description.

The government is strangely not interested in pursuing Misha, just as they refused to pursue any of the suspects referred to as “John Doe #2” during the OKC bombing— one Hussein al Husseini who ended up working for the FBI. Back to the FBI’s prior relationship with the family, the Activist Post continues:

The suspects’ family also state that they were well aware of an ongoing relationship between the FBI and the boys. Family members said they were “monitored” and “counseled” at every step, and the FBI was “controlling” and “following” them for years [the FBI tries to downplay the depth of their involvement with the family, implying it was only last year—which is in itself an indication that they are hiding much of what they were doing].

Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions: “They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me … they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him,” Tsarnaeva said.

It’s no wonder the Mother feels her sons were “set up.” She said,

“They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act!”

So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but “failed to find any incriminating information about him” while telling their mother that “he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him.” (lie #3)

There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBI’s blatant lies; either they’re covering up their complete incompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or they’re covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as they’ve done in countless other fake terror plot cases.

Sadly, the latter is the conclusion I have reached. The mistakes they make happen because they can’t control all of the people that are involved in a complex false-flag operation. Much depends on their ability to control the press after the fact and direct the flow of information. In this case they have to steer the media pundits from asking the obvious questions, such as:

4) Why did the suspects not flee? The boys did not leave Boston or act guilty after the event nor did they go into hiding. The FBI never showed up at their home to arrest them even though they knew where they lived. The younger Tsarnaev brother even went to a college party and his friends said he seemed relaxed and totally normal. However, a couple of days after the event, the mother said that the younger brother told her the FBI called them accusing them of the bombing and that they feared for their lives.

Predictably the two suspects go on the run after the FBI calls the home and talks to the boys. Why didn’t the FBI just show up and arrest them as they do with all other criminals? Why call the suspect and alert him that you are coming to arrest him unless you are trying to spook them into running?

If these two were involved in a large cell controlled by an FBI informer/agent provocateur, and were the designated patsies to take the entire blame, then it is clearly a benefit to the planners of such a black operation that they be killed and not arrested where they might be able to tell more than would be convenient. Certainly, they would have eventually told of everyone else involved in providing them the knowledge and equipment necessary to pull this off.

The FBI has a secret policy of sending into every Mosque in the US not only informers but agent provocateurs, looking for disgruntled young Muslims that can be enticed into planning terrorist acts. The purpose seems not merely to inform, but to goad, entice, help plan and even supply bomb making technology to help Muslims commit terror—or at least get far enough into entrapment to be arrested.

Shifting the Blame: Government leakers and spokespersons are focusing on the storyline that the two brothers were acting alone. WsbTV.com in Atlanta reports that,

The Senate Intelligence Committee panel was briefed by federal law enforcement officials Tuesday as well. Members of the panel said there is “no question” that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “the dominant force” behind the Boston attacks, and that him and his brother had apparently been radicalized by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.

This is convenient because it allows the news media to shift the blame for radicalization onto those who they claim may have helped radicalized them—specifically, the Right wing internet websites involved in the 9/11 truth movement, which are particularly energizing to Muslims who feel that the US has unjustly intervened and occupied Muslim countries around the world based upon false-flag provocations like the 9/11 attacks.

It is an interesting fact that many more people outside the United States believe that our government was responsible for setting the explosives in the World Trade Center towers than inside the US. Foreigners aren’t subjected to the same constant drum beat of propaganda against conspiracy or the regular demonization of the few courageous Americans that are not afraid to put the facts before the people.

In the United States there is a literal vendetta against conspiracy, specifically from mainstream or faux conservative talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly who target certain alternative media outlets like Alex Jones and his formidable news organization that is always on the cutting edge ferreting out the truth in government black operations.

Government foreknowledge? Yes, there is even some evidence of foreknowledge. We have finally found out the identity of the private contractors in Khaki pants and dark jackets with backpacks. It turns out these guys are members of the Massachusetts National Guard Civilian Security Team (CST), which is trained to handle Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Explosive bomb analysis. http://theminorityreport.forummotion.com/t1335-identity-of-the-khaki-wearing-boston-bombing-operatives-revealed

The uniform they are wearing (khaki pants and boots and Navy Blue shirts or jackets) is a common one used by federal agencies (even the Secret Service) when out in the public. This is confirmation of the reports that a bomb drill was going on during the marathon as I covered last week.

I believe the backpacks contained anti-contamination suits which they could don if their meters indicated hazardous substances from a blast—that’s why we see one such individual in a picture with a hand held radiation meter after the explosions. However, I have no explanation for why some of them would have a “Punisher” skull on their shirt and hat since the rest of their outfit was clearly a kind of uniform—other than their link to former military service in the Navy Seals or Special Force who have also used this comic book logo.

But what is important is that their presence does show that the government expected a bomb incident, which is telling of a false flag event. Having a drill or exercise is a convenient cover for bringing in these specialized federal personnel. It is also strange that the government never made any effort to answer the public’s questions about them swirling all over the net. They could have easily done so, but never did. This is additional evidence that they don’t want the public knowing about these special teams—lest people come to a conclusion about prior knowledge.

At least one US Senator knew that some agency had prior knowledge (also reported in the previously cited WsbTV.com Atlanta link):

Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss told Channel 2 Action News late Tuesday afternoon that a law enforcement agency may have had information in advance of the Boston bombings that wasn’t properly shared. [That’s always the conclusion—that it wasn’t shared—no implication about what foreknowledge portends about government involvement in false flag operations]

“There now appears that may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it could have been. If that turns out to be the case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference,” Chambliss said.

Some background on government false flag operations: Let’s now look at this attack and compare it to other attacks the US government’s black ops has directed in order to foment and build up this war on terror. Such acts not only justify the continued intervention in other Muslim nations, which has as its ultimate goal prepping the world for a future World War, but to also justify restricting the civil rights and constitutional protections of citizens here at home. Here are the key anomalies I have noticed in the past which point to government induced terror:

First: Terror attacks in the US are always high profile which is not typical for normal acts of terror. Compare this to the regular terror attacks in Israel. There is ample hatred among Palestinians against both the Israeli government and its civilian population which drives consistent kinds of suicide bombings which attack Israeli civilians–at malls, in buses and in crowded shopping areas.

Strangely, in the US we’ve had NO examples of this kind of normal terror, only high profile attacks on such things as the World Trade Centers (twice). Real terror attacks by the Islamist world would send extremists through the porous southern border every week to blow up railroad tracks, electrical pylons or set off car bombs in shopping malls and crowded areas in border towns. We have seen NONE of these, even though thousands of illegals cross the border every day. No one questions why.

But our own government loses no time in using these high profile attacks to justify a curtailment of liberty and essential legal protections against surveillance, indefinite detention and habeas corpus. High profile attacks clearly serve a key globalist agenda of justifying constant warfare and restricting constitutional liberties at home. Ultimately, that agenda is linked to a conspiracy to take down American liberty and force our people, under the exigencies of war and conflict, to accept a global government devoid of real protection of individual rights.

Second: No one claims responsibility for these high profile attacks. That’s a sign they aren’t done by the Islamists the government claims. Normal terrorists have historically claimed responsibility for every hijacking, every attack on the Olympics and every suicide bombing—to show their supporters that they are able to get back at their enemies and destabilize Western nations by making them feel vulnerable. Terror is never done just to kill. It is done to fight for a larger agenda. How is the terrorist’s purpose served if no one claims responsibility? That leaves it to our own government to conveniently place the blame on whomever it will to further its own agenda. Here are three major examples:

No one claimed responsibility for TWA 800. That’s because it was shot down by an errant missile from a US Naval missile exercise going on in the military restricted area (MOA) in the ocean below. A Navy drone was seen flying over Long Island which is proof there was a missile exercise going on at the time. The government decided to engage in a massive cover up rather than admit the mistake, and spent a million dollars with the CIA to create a falsified video blaming the tragic explosion on some mythical spark in a fuel tank.

No one claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma City Bombing. But it was orchestrated specifically to place blame on right wing militias. The patsy, Timothy McVeigh, was lured into black operations after serving in the Army and was set up with various agent provocateurs to assist him with the bomb. Terry Nichols, who did have a Right wing background was brought into the scheme to secure a more believable link to the Right wing militias.

However, the story of a single bomb and the lone bomber began to unravel when evidence of other bombs were discovered, planted inside and around the building, and captured on film by local TV crews. These could not have been placed by McVeigh who was only filmed approaching the building once. It was the government itself that suppressed the evidence of these other accomplices, and bombs. They also suppressed the seismic evidence showing two explosions and the surveillance videos that would have showed the shaking from two explosion. When the feds finally released the videos experts could see they had been edited to cut out the parts showing the second seismic event.

Lastly, no one claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. The CIA created a couple of false videos trying to make it look like bin Laden was behind it, but experts say these were clearly fakes using various look-alike persons. The government covered up so many of the details in this attack, one can only wonder what were they trying to hide. Details such as the stand down of interceptor aircraft, refusing to allow any experts to examine the debris of the WTC collapse including the tons of molten steel deep in the basement areas, the silencing of witnesses to the controlled explosion of WTC-7, the suppression of surveillance videos surrounding the Pentagon attack, and the altering, omission or falsifying of testimony before the rigged 9/11 commission.

As eager as the mainstream media will be to print and believe whatever government investigators come up with in this latest attack, additional millions of Americans have become permanent skeptics about any official version—having been lied to so many times in virtually all of the former official investigations into conspiracies of the past.

What happened in Boston this week fits the pattern of government black operations in fomenting the fear of terror. It was a high profile event, and no terrorist group has taken credit. There was a bomb detection exercise going on that could have provided cover for the placement of the bombs. No one knows for sure, and like the other very secret conspiracies mentioned, we may never know because the government holds all the secrets and controls the investigative and surveillance process. But we have to consider it a possibility given the government’s history of false flag terror attacks—going back to even Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Maine.

In Conclusion: Where will this lead? What we saw happen in Boston during the lockdown of the city as they searched for a single suspect on the run was so over-the-top that I’m shocked at how easy it was to pull off with nary a whimper of protest from the over 1 million people ordered to “shelter in place.” This attack also moved forward in a quantum leap the tendency of American’s to yield to any level of militarization of law enforcement and loss of civil rights if the provocation is big enough. We saw the city of Boston and all other suburbs put under lockdown without even declaring martial law—which certainly would not have been necessary for the pursuit of two criminal suspects. High speed and violent pursuits of criminals happen all the time in large cities and the city is never put into lockdown.

Worse, people were ordered out of their homes and told to lay on the ground without probable cause or without warrants—and no one complained. It’s one thing to have to police ask if you will voluntarily allow a search in times of exigency, but to order people around like this was improper and unlawful. Backpacks are now banned at most large gatherings. We will probably see a much high presence of militarized law enforcement enforcing TSA style searches “for our own protection.”

There has also been a push to dump constitutional protections. The younger Tsarnaev brother is a naturalized US citizen. Incredibly, both liberals like Democratic Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg and so-called conservative Senator Lindsay Graham recommended dumping constitutional rights and declaring this suspect an enemy combatant.

They may have to revert to that because federal investigators got the wounded Tsarnaev brother to admit to a lot of things before they read him his Miranda rights. Now he isn’t talking. His lawyer is going to have a field day with the fed’s violation of his rights. But, I suspect the courts may take up the call of Bloomberg and Graham and allow it due to this high profile event. Truly these people never let a “good crisis go to waste.”

Even the Canadian government is using the terror attack to accelerate passage of its version of the NDAA authorization of indefinite detention. The Globe and Mail said,

The Harper government is using the Boston Marathon bombing to expedite the passage of a relatively slow-moving bill that would restrict civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. The Conservative have cleared time in their legislative agenda Monday and Tuesday to conduct third-reading debate on S-7, legislation that would authorize police to pre-emptively detain Canadians and hold them for up to three days without charging them.

Did the Tsarnaev brothers do it? I do believe they were involved in a plot that day, and had some role, but there are many possibilities that need to be probed. Were they part of a larger group and specifically set up to take the entire blame? I’m certain they were. Were there present in this larger group FBI agent provocateurs who directed the planning, and provided sophisticated equipment like the trigger mechanisms? I think that such direction was present.

FBI agent provocateurs (who the Bureau always labels merely as “informants” but who actually actively encourage and direct terrorist acts) have been involved in guiding the activities of every Muslim terrorist prosecuted since 9/11, with the possible exception of the amateurish Times Square bomb that fizzled.

It is amazing that there has not been more blowback (unintended effects of a black operation) from the revelations of this bombing. A real media discussion of this event would cast a negative light on our support of Syria’s Islamist rebels. Instead it looks like the PTB will try to push us over the edge by engaging more directly in the conflict.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING CRIES OUT FOR ANSWERS
Even though the government has honed in on two brothers of Chechen origin, one of which is now dead in a shootout with police, it is too early to tell who the government is going to ultimately blame for this latest terror attack on innocent civilians. Not a few media pundits have been quick to cast suspicions on domestic terrorism from right wing Americans—at the same time failing to acknowledge that the American Right has never had anything to gain by attacking innocent civilians. These two suspects will now add significant intrigue to the story, being from the disputed and war-torn area south of Russia which has been the source of both Islamic terror and Russian false flag terror blamed on the Chechens. There is no shortage of suspicious activity and interesting evidence in this unfolding drama.
There were a lot mistakes in reporting as this story unfolded. The big story right after the explosions was that of numerous other unexploded bombs found around the marathon route. None of these turned out to be bombs, but rather the police picking up all the stray packages or backpacks left behind and treating them as if they were bombs. As Reuters said,

Dispelling earlier reports of as many as seven devices being found around Boston, Gene Marquez, assistant special agent in charge for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said authorities had determined that the only bombs deployed in the attack were the two that detonated shortly before 3 p.m. ET on Monday.

Any unexploded device might have provided a clearer picture of what materials were used and how the bomb was assembled, furnishing leads in the case, but it was not to be. There were also reports from CNN and other news agencies that the police had someone in custody, but those reports had to be retracted after police denials.
False Claims: There was a posting to the internet of a false conspiracy claiming that a previous episode of The Family Guy had shown a guy sitting at a table triggering bombs to go off at the Boston Marathon by using his cell phone. In reality it was someone cutting and pasting excerpts from the TV show to make it look like foreknowledge of the current disaster.
Someone even tried to merge another bogus conspiracy claim (that the Sandy Hook school shooting never took place) into the Boston Marathon tragedy by posting an old photo of the principal with a new banner placing her at the Marathon. It was photoshoped. http://wafflesatnoon.com/2013/04/17/sandy-hook-boston-marathon-victim/
There was another one where someone posted a rant by Bill Cosby saying how tired he was of all the things government is doing. Trouble is, Cosby never wrote it. It was all falsely attributed to him, and yet it got passed around the internet to millions.
It is very disturbing that there are so many professional disinformation artists out there on the internet spending time to create false images and fake claims aimed at conservatives who believe in conspiracy—to make them look stupid when they are debunked. So, whenever some claim seems too-good-to-be-true, beware about passing it on unless you check it out first.
There is another false theory making the rounds in the wake of the Texas Fertilizer Plant explosion—a video where someone thinks a missile comes in from the left just before the plant explodes. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDP8pRRsh1s&feature=endscreen However, it is not a missile. Missiles don’t have that big of a flame signature coming in—not even close. What I believe we are seeing is the explosion beginning on the rail line (Ammonium Nitrate is stored in rail cars) behind the factory fire. The explosion starts left to right behind the smoke, and you see only the light flash bursting out from the left of the smoke and then progressing back to the right—giving the impression of left to right movement. I don’t think this video is mischief, just people jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Here are the current issues of legitimate controversy in this Marathon investigation:
1) Were Boston Police running a bomb exercise during the marathon race? The City of Boston says “no” but witnesses say there were bomb sniffing dogs at both the start and finish lines and cops were seen manning rooftops of buildings. This is an important issue, because an exercise allows for the planting of practice or “fake” bombs—supposedly as part of the exercise—that may turn out to be real bombs, as I explain later. The local TV station-15 ran this interview which clearly contradicts the official denial by city officials:

University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. “They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise.”

[Alastair] Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before. “Evidently, I don’t believe they were just having a training exercise,” Stevenson said. “I think they must have had some sort of threat or suspicion called in.”

So, there is at least one credible witness to the word “exercise” heard from the police themselves. I don’t understand why the reluctance to admit to running an exercise, unless the placing of a fake bomb for “training purposes” turned out to be the real thing, and police don’t want that connection being made. There was a similar reluctance on the part of the federal government to admit they were running a simulation of hijacked aircraft targeting the White House on September 11th—which raised no few suspicions about government foreknowledge of that tragedy.
2) Did anyone receive warnings in the Marathon about an upcoming attack? CNN, the perennial mouthpiece of government, reports a state government official said there were no credible threats before the race, but that isn’t true. There are two so far—one quite credible and another not so credible, but noteworthy because they really happened.
Rob Dew, a reporter for Infowars.com has a brother-in-law who ran the Boston marathon. The in-law works in domestic intelligence for the US Army (DIA). According to Dew,

“He was in position to finish the race at about the time of the bombing [but was] pulled from the race by military superiors and sent to a hospital to be treated for dehydration even though he thought he could have finished the race.”

Alex Jones compared this to Mayor Willie Brown being told by Condoleeza Rice not to fly on 9/11—solid evidence that some in government had foreknowledge about the impending attacks.
The Squamish Chief reported that:

Runners getting set to take part in the Boston Marathon were warned beforehand that they were going to die, said a Squamish resident who took part in the race… Mike Heiliger, 59, said a woman holding several bags was telling runners who were picking up their pre-race packages in downtown Boston on Saturday (April 13) that they were going to die if they participated in the event.

3) What about the forensic evidence of the blast? First, a low grade explosive was used which gave off a red/orange flame and grayish/white smoke. High grade explosives like C4 or Semtex (plastic explosive) give off a bright white light signature in large quantities (no light flash at all in small quantities) and black smoke. C4 and Semtex explosives are also manufactured with tracking chemicals so the origin of the blast can be traced. The use of low grade explosives could lead investigators to the suspect that amateurs were involved, but as the Washington Post pointed out, that isn’t at all conclusive:

The simple bomb design could imply that the maker was an amateur, incapable of acquiring more sophisticated materials, veteran investigators and forensics experts said. But they said it also could be the work of a sophisticated bomb maker taking great care to cover his tracks. “He might deliberately choose to use a less sophisticated device because he knows the explosives will be harder to trace.”

The deformed lid of a pressure cooker was found in the debris as well as a battery and some wires, leading investigators to hypothesize that a pressure cooker was used to contain the bomb materials, which included ball bearings, nails and other shrapnel producing materials. This is a common homemade bomb design and plans are readily available on the internet. The remnants of a black backpack with a white tag on top and some light colored striping on the shoulder straps was also found in the debris, leading to the conclusion that the pressure cooker was hidden in that kind of backpack. You’ll see this backpack remnant in some of the photo links below.
Triggering the blast is not as easy as putting together a bomb out of gunpowder—which is the suspected explosive media since it is readily available at gun stores for reloading. A true amateur would most likely have used a simple timing device as the trigger, but sophisticated bombers could use cell phones to explode the device remotely. However, this type of trigger takes more sophisticated manipulation of cell phone electronics. Police are checking out cell phone calls that were made at the exact time the bomb went off, but sophisticated bombers would know to use a throw-away cell phone which is harder to trace.
4) What about Suspects? Because this crime occurred in a public area covered by a few commercial security cameras, both private and government investigators are pouring over the films and still shots looking for persons with large black backpacks in the crowds, and in particular, looking for the same persons exiting the area without a backpack.
Someone posted their private work to infowars.com after combing through the video evidence around the point of the blast. It is pretty interesting: Take a look here: http://www.infowars.com/boston-bombing-culprits-found/
There are a lot of people with backpacks in the crowd, but only a few are really suspicious because of their size and bulk. Most ordinary tourist or runner’s backpacks are teardrop shaped and don’t look more than half filled. But a few visible backpacks look huge—like their owners are headed for a 3-day campout rather than just a trip downtown.
Some of those with large packs are together and look like military guys with short haircuts and wearing remarkably similar military-style pants and boots. They have large bulky jackets on and very large, full backpacks that are of particular interest. Both look like their oversized jackets conceal body armor underneath. One is wearing a dark ball cap with a white “Punisher” skull on it—also a logo for Craft International, a weapons training outfit started by former Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle. It is also reportedly a popular logo among various Navy Seal teams and Army Special Forces troops.
After the explosion, two of these men are both seen in the middle of the street near ambulances and first responders talking on cell phones but not moving to assist or help as normal security guys would be expected to do. What’s in the oversized backpacks both are wearing? If they were private security contractors and part of the police bomb exercise, you would expect them to be undoing their packs and bringing out first aid kits or helping the bomb squads, but instead, nothing. These are the kinds of people police should be questioning or at least give the public an explanation about them.
Some of the pictures sent to Infowars.com and also emphasized by the New York Post focus on two young men, one with a unique white ball cap and sunglasses who is carrying a large bulging pack. In a subsequent picture the guy in the white hat does not have his pack on. I will note, however, that markings on the exploded back pack (white label on top and white strips of cloth on the straps) did not match the pack of the guy in the white hat whose backpack was no longer with him. A subsequent news story, however, revealed the man in the white ball cap to be an innocent teen who came forward after seeing his picture so talked about.
The markings on the exploded pack could, however, match the top white patch on the packs of the military guys standing around watching, as well as the bag of a bearded guy in a blue coat, whose pack is visible in a few pictures, hanging off of his arm. Two of the military types can be seen still with their packs on after the bombings but a third with similar pants and shoes is seen near the finish line without a pack holding some kind of handheld electronic device like an oversized remote control.
Of course, this discussion begs the question, could any former military man or Navy Seal participate in a wanton massacre of civilians? I think that’s a fair question, and I think the answer will largely be “No.” Although there are guys in the military that go bad, Navy Seals or Special Forces guys hardly ever fall into that category. They may not always be moral in their conduct with women and vices, but they are a cut above the rest in training, pride and emotional stability. I know of none who have become psychotic or such yes-men to government that they would knowingly do something like this.
That said, there are ways that evil perpetrators in black operations can get military or police types to go along, unwittingly, in a false-flag attack. The fact that there really was a bomb training exercise going on during the marathon may give us a clue. To make the bomb exercise realistic, it is highly probably that certain persons would be tasked to dress like civilians and plant “fake” explosives, dropping them off in various street locations—to see if the bomb sniffing dogs could detect them.
If one or two of those backpacks turned out to have real explosives in them, the exercise participants who did the planting of the packs could still have been totally innocent and as surprised as anyone that a bomb went off. Obviously, they would begin to ask questions about how a real bomb got planted in the backpack they were told was a fake, and that’s where the official suppression would begin in private.
Dumb anti-conspiracy commentators responding to articles on Infowars.com continue to ridicule the clues pointing to conspiracy in the mistaken assumption that everyone in the Boston Police Department must have known about the plot and keeping them all silent would be impossible. These commentators obviously haven’t thought through how conspiracies operate and why they can be pulled off without many knowing the whole story. They also don’t understand how much pressure can be brought to bear on government, police or military employees who do see bad things, keeping them silent about official misconduct.
That’s why it is important to get to the bottom of the City’s denial of any exercise, and to talk with these military types with large backpacks to see if they were part of such an exercise and find out how this exercised was planned and what was in their backpacks.
5) What about the Two Suspects the FBI is alerting the public to? The FBI has posted pictures and videos of two possible suspects walking around together with backpacks. http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston
The FBI says the one in the white hat (worn backwards—not the same guy with the white cap noted previously) dropped his backpack at the location where one of the bombs went off. The trouble I have with this is that the backpack he is wearing is white with some black trim which doesn’t match the picture of the black bag blown open at one site. Even a speculated gray and brown heap near a trash can, shown before the other explosion, does not match the white backpack. The other suspect shown in the FBI release has a dark pack on but it does not have lighter stripes on the shoulder straps or a white badge/wrap on the top handle—so neither pack matches the picture of the pack involved in the actual bombing.
The FBI spokesperson strangely cautions the public not to rely on any other pictures or analysis but to only search for these two. Given the mismatching packs seen in the pictures, I find these improper directions by the government. This case is far from decided, but it appears the government has found who they are going to blame.
Breaking news–Infowars.com is usually first to get breaking news out on the net:

Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, police found themselves engaged in a deadly shootout with the two individuals, killing one while the other remains on the run.

“Two men identified by law enforcement sources as the Boston Marathon attack suspects — armed with explosives and guns — battled authorities in a Boston suburb early Friday morning, unleashing chaos until cops took one of the men into custody, and the other fled, the sources said. Officials later said the suspect taken into custody died,” reports NBC News.

Eyewitnesses said the suspects set off grenades to try to fight off police and that they also had what looked like backpacks and a “pressure cooker bomb,” matching the explosive device used in the Marathon bombings.

The standoff erupted shortly after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot dead after he investigated a disturbance on campus. Some have speculated that the suspects were preparing to attack the University.

One of the alleged culprits has been named by 4chan researchers as Sunil Tripathi, a student who has been missing from his Philadelphia apartment since March 16. It is believed that Tripathi, seen wearing a white hat in the FBI photos, is still on the run while his alleged accomplice is the one who was shot dead by police.

NBC news just reported that the two bombing suspects are brothers, aged 19 and 20, and legal permanent U.S. residents of Chechen origin. That could really put an interesting spin on things. Even worse, the remaining brother with the backwards white cap is sporting a Hiter-style mustache!
I don’t know if the government is going to make anything of it, but it might lead to claims of a Neo-Nazi plot. Virtually every Neo-Nazi group exposed by the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Conference has been either started by or infiltrated and controlled by FBI agent provocateurs—the most prominent example being the now extinct Aryan Nations in Idaho.
And this just in: a subscriber who works at Beth Israel hospital (where Suspect #1 died) said, “The hospital is locked down, the parking lot (also for employees) was locked down. No one, not even badged essential employees can go in or out. I was denied parking or entrance. I had to turn around and go home. The roads leading to the medical district are almost totally devoid of traffic. A bit extreme?”
Indeed. Government is taking these kinds of extreme measure more often now. Looks like people are so compliant, they won’t have to use troops to impose martial law someday—they’ll just announce it and everyone will comply!
6) What about the young wounded Saudi who was taken into custody? This has provided a tempting conspiracy theory for the internet, especially since the guy was being quickly deported out of the country upon demand of the Saudi embassy. Here’s Joseph Paul Watson of Infowars.com:

The Saudi “person of interest” suspected of being involved in the Boston Marathon bombings is being deported from the United States next week on “national security grounds,” according to a terrorism expert, who notes that the move is “very unusual,” especially given an unscheduled meeting yesterday between President Obama and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal.

According to terrorism expert Steve Emerson, 20-year-old Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national first suspected of being involved in Monday’s twin bomb attack, is being hastily deported. Alharbi was put under armed guard in hospital after the bombing, was visited by Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim, and later had his apartment raided by federal and state law enforcement agents.

“That’s very interesting because this is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them,” Emerson told host Sean Hannity.

The special relationship that explains all of this is the deal our government made with the Saudis at the formation of OPEC: in essence, “always provide us oil and accept only dollars for payment and we’ll protect your regime from overthrow and cover for your indiscretions.” The Saudis in return have become hostage to US protection by acceding to all demands of the US to fund whatever radical Islamists the US is backing under the umbrella of al Qaeda. It is little wonder that most of the protected terrorists the US brought in to do the dirty deed on 9/11 were Saudis—as far as we know. Some of the names may have been false, since some are reportedly still alive.
Allowing of the young Saudi to leave is also strangely reminiscent of the US allowing bin Laden’s relatives to all leave the US right after the 9/11 attacks even though no US citizen was allowed to fly. Watson then quotes World Net Daily’s Joe Kovacs who tries to make the connection with the young Saudi’s last name and known al Qaeda operatives:

“Saudi student Alharbi shares the same last name as a major Saudi clan that includes scores of al-Qaida operatives.” The Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama bin Laden’s mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an al-Qaida member in the mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 2004 as part of an amnesty deal.

But there’s a major problem with this neocon analysis always using al Qaeda as the enemy—al Qaeda is a US controlled black operation group at the top levels and has been ever since the CIA created and funded the Mujahidin through Operation “Gladio B” during the cold war. That doesn’t mean every al Qaeda terrorist knows who funds and controls them. Leaders do hire actual terrorists to do controlled terror operations, but you never really know who is working for the CIA or ignorant of its control—even by whom the CIA prosecutes.
At this stage of the US phony war on terror, it would be a bit dangerous for the US to come out and blame this on an Islamist terrorist. As Watson analyzes in the same Infowars article,

Given the fact that the Obama administration has sent more than half a billion dollars and the CIA is shipping weapons to FSA rebels in Syria who pledged allegiance to and are led by Al-Qaeda militants, the notion that one of these militants would carry out an attack on U.S. soil would be extremely damaging to the White House.

Who Might Get the Blame: With the two main subjects being Chechan, this blame could be shifted to any number of movements, from the American Right (if the two brothers turn out to be Neo Nazis) or even to the Russians (because of their involvement in Chechen terror). This could be spun any number of ways. Some news outlets are speculating that these two are Muslims and that they had military training before they came here—but that is unlikely since they would have been young teens. Those kinds of statement indicate a proclivity to point the blame overseas.
But one thing is for sure—they’ve been under the training of someone since coming to the US. They didn’t just hatch a plan like this on their own, especially given the degree of firepower they used against police in the chase last night. One report said they were using hand grenades, which are not easy to come by unless you have sources in the black markets. There is probably a wider conspiracy here. I suspect that these two are patsies brought into the scheme and set up to take the blame. If they both turn up dead, we might never know the truth. Dead men don’t tell tales.
Sadly, this incident will only perpetuate the government’s excuse to use terror to keep Americans believing that they have to keep giving up essential liberties in order to be secure. Obama even said so this week—warning that there will be other terrorist attacks, when he spoke at a news conference. Strangely, many could not help but notice that he never looked directly at the audience. He looked down, sideways, up, but never forwards—a textbook sign of someone who knows he’s dissembling.
Other liberals in public schools are also pushing this deadly and evil doctrine. Aaron Harvey a parent in Florida was outraged when he found out a 4th grade teacher had invited a liberal attorney to his son’s class in public school and both had instructed each of the students to write down the following words:

“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

Whatever the official investigation comes up with in Boston, I believe the long term effect of this senseless and evil bombing will be more money and more personnel thrown at Homeland Security—to match their new $4 billion headquarters in DC. DHS is destined to be our biggest internal police force, and threat to liberty. We may now see a much higher law enforcement presence in major sporting events and marathon races. It will slowly acclimate Americans into accepting an all-surveilling, “show me your ID” society.
