From: Democracy Now! Agents of Change or Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons? A Discussion about Barack Obama’s Advisers
JEREMY SCAHILL: …what I’ve looked at in depth is the foreign policy team that surrounds Barack Obama. These are people that are on the transition team or are foreign policy advisers or already have been named to the cabinet or very well may get cabinet positions.
…what’s important to remember is what 1990s foreign policy looked like, because while Barack Obama campaigned on a pledge to bring change, if you actually analyze US foreign policy from George H.W. Bush through Bill Clinton to George W. Bush, there are great consistencies.
I mean, Bill Clinton’s policies, his foreign policies in the 1990s, really laid the groundwork for much of what President Bush did when he was in office. You had the Iraq Liberation Act, which was passed in 1998, which was the result of a collusion between neoliberal Democrats, neoconservative Republicans. That made regime change in Iraq mandatory. Clinton mercilessly punished the people of Iraq through economic sanctions, the longest sustained bombing campaign since Vietnam. They dismantled Yugoslavia, bombed it. They implemented policies such as the Rambouillet Accord against Milosevic, that was essentially a setup to take away Yugoslavia’s sovereignty, very similar to what Bush did in the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. Clinton hit Sudan. He hit Afghanistan. His free trade globalization policies devastated economies around the world and working people.
And what I point out in my piece is that many of the architects of those policies in the 1990s were not only people who supported the Iraq war in the lead-up and promoted the myth that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, but they are now at the center of the Obama foreign policy team.
I mean, from the jump, you had Joe Biden. His selection as the vice-presidential candidate was a clear indication that the old guard Democrats were going to be securely embedded in the Obama White House. You know, Biden is—I think one of the experiences in Biden’s life bears particular mention, and that is that Biden was the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the summer of 2002, when the Iraq war was being debated. Joe Biden was the man in charge of framing the so-called debate, and he refused to call two witnesses, in particular, who would have thoroughly debunked all of the lies that were being told. One is the former chief UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. The other is the former head of the UN program in Iraq, Hans von Sponeck. Now, I was with von Sponeck at that time, and we were pressing Biden’s committee to call him to testify. The reason we wanted von Sponeck there is because he had just come back from the north of Iraq and had observed Ansar al-Islam guerrillas, the so-called al-Qaeda presence in Iraq, and would have testified that in fact they were not being trained by Saddam’s government, that they were receiving no assistance, that in fact they were fighting Saddam’s government and were operating from the US-enforced safe haven of northern Iraq, or Iraqi Kurdistan.

And some, maybe a few people in this country, have said it was as it was with Mandela—Mandela moment. It’s a moment when especially people of color have a new spring in their step. They can walk a great deal taller than they used to. And that even though this country, the United States, experiences very considerable racism—I mean, people being dragged to their deaths behind trucks—yet, it’s a country that, in fact, has had this extraordinary experience, and it’s something that has filled people with hope that the world can be a better place.

Sarah Palin has fired back at claims by insiders of her own Republican party that she thought Africa was a country not a continent, calling them “jerks”.
The Alaska governor, Mr McCain’s running mate in their unsuccessful White House campaign, told CNN the allegation was “not true”.
The leak was reportedly made by unidentified aides to Republican presidential candidate Mr McCain, trying to blame her for the crushing election defeat.
The anonymous sources claimed Mrs Palin did not know Africa was a continent and could not name the three countries in NAFTA – the United States, Canada and Mexico, according to Fox News.
Mrs Palin said the post-election slur could have come from people who helped her prepare for her debate against Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it’s immature, it’s unprofessional and those guys are jerks. It’s not fair and it’s not right.”

No one questions that you are working hard.
Our question is who are you working for?
On occasion, I check out photographers’ sites to get ideas for what can be done with a camera.
I stumbled on this site, and what kept me from not wanting to move on was the incredible song that repeats. I looked up the lyrics, and it’s called “Breath In,” from the duo, Frou Frou, of whom Imogen Heap was the singer.
For the ultimate “Breath In” experience, I recommend John’s “Other” gallery. Visit the site; click ‘Galleries,’ then ‘Other,’ drag the edges of your browser’s window to completely fill the monitor, and leave it on for awhile. It’s definitely better in (((stereo))).
I actually enjoyed the mystery of it a bit more before I read the lyrics. It’s specifically about the anticipation of a relationship happening. But it could also be about ONE happening (the church becoming ONE with each other in Christ — John 17, finally!) — what I talk about so much at my spiritual site: OneCanHappen.
“Is this it?” (a line from the song). As the world goes down we can go up!
“Breath In” is a danceable joy to behold!

There is compelling new proof of a silver (and gold) price manipulation. The evidence connects the investment bank JP Morgan Chase, the dominant force in world commodity trading, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the primary commodity regulator, and the U.S. Treasury Department, the arranger of every conceivable bailout. […]
My analysis shows that Morgan has made many billions of dollars, perhaps tens of billions, from their downward engineering of silver and gold prices from their combined COMEX and OTC short positions. They have used that engineered price decline to buy back as many short positions as possible. If investors are wondering what caused the destruction of billions of dollars in gold and silver values, metal and share price alike, look no further than JP Morgan, and the government officials who enabled them.

“Every day brings this nation closer to a Nazi-style totalitarian abyss,” writes Hilmar von Campe, now a U.S. citizen, and author of “Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America.” …
He writes: “The most painful part of defining National Socialism was to recognize my own moral responsibility for the Nazi disaster and their crimes against humanity. It boiled down to accepting the truth that ‘as I am, so is my nation,’ and realizing that if every German was like me, it was no wonder that the nation became a cesspool of gangsters. This realization is as valid today for any person in any nation as it was then, and it is true for America and every American now.”
Von Campe’s message is that political freedom and democratic rules alone are not sufficient to govern humanity justly.
“Democratic procedures can be subverted and dishonest politicians are like sand in the gearbox, abundant, everywhere and destructive,” he writes. “What I see in America today is people painting their cabins while the ship goes down. Today in America we are witnessing a repeat performance of the tragedy of 1933 when an entire nation let itself be led like a lamb to the Socialist slaughterhouse. This time, the end of freedom is inevitable unless America rises to her mission and destiny.”
Von Campe says he sees spiritual parallels among Americans and his childhood Germany.
“The silence from our pulpits regarding the moral collapse of American society from within is not very different from the silence that echoed from the pulpits in Germany toward Nazi policies,” he explains. “Our family lived through the Nazi years in Germany, an experience typical of millions of Europeans regardless of what side they were on. We paid a high price for the moral perversions of a German government….”

My theory
I studied this subject in depth in the late ’90s, horrified by the prospect of this being done to innocent people, starting from even while they still in the womb. I also became somewhat convinced that unless this project wasn’t dealt with, Y2K could take us down, because of their strategic placement.
I came to learn, through my research and by attending a S.M.A.R.T. seminar (where I met Brice Taylor and others), that a significant amount of the programming was demonic. And I believe it’s likely that it was mainly prayers that broke these totally injust, hiddeous curses off of these innocent victims. And that is why we’ve heard little about this type of mind-control since Y2K. See: Nick Begich: The Gifts of the Holy Spirit Demonstrate What’s Possible for Human Beings
Perhaps only God knows for sure.
It will be interesting to see Tracy’s take on this, to see how much of this she thinks is still going on. I haven’t heard of her before, so I can’t vouch for her credibility. Some of what’s out there is intentional disinfo.
incidentally, Mel Gibson played Jerry Fletcher, who was a mind-controlled assassin who went rogue in Conspiracy Theory, with Julia Roberts. Both Manchurian Candidate movies are also about mind-control. If I remember correctly, the first was banned for awhile after JFK’s assassination, ie.: Lee Harvey Oswald….
Freedom for the people!

Mind Control & Project Monarch
Journalist and occult expert Tracy Twyman discussed the shocking stories from her new book, Mind Controlled Sex Slaves and the CIA. She covered a number of infamous accounts within this realm, such as the story of Cathy O’Brien, the Franklin Cover-Up, and the disappearance of Johnny Gosch. Reflecting on the more credible stories she has researched, Twyman said, “They don’t seem like they’re seeking attention. They don’t even seem like people who have read Internet conspiracy theories. They seem like they’re talking about the experiences they had.”
Looking at where these stories may have originated, Twyman detailed Project Monarch, which purportedly was part of the notorious CIA mind control program known as MK Ultra. According to her, Monarch “always involved a nexus of child sex abuse, mind control programming, Satanism, and the intelligence community.” Such practices were allegedly used to create multiple personalities within the victims and, in turn, make them programmable government pawns. Based on her research, Twyman said “when this technique was mastered by the intelligence community, they used it to create mind controlled sex slaves.” She postulated that the motive behind such devious pursuits was twofold: the slaves were either for personal use by powerful individuals or, more often, used to blackmail powerful people [especially politicians – editor] who partook in their services.

“America was great not because we have fields of waving grain, and we’ve got a great big country with a lot of natural resources.
America was great because we had a system of government based upon a belief in God, that man’s freedom came from God, and the power of the government was to be limited over the lives of the people with the realization that if you had moral people you could have limited government.
Unfortunately when you have immoral people you’re going to have unlimited government. That seems to be the way we’re going. …
You can’t have limited government unless you have moral people.”

The Assassination of Sonny Bono
Ian [Punnett] was joined by investigative researcher Bob Fletcher, who discussed the mysteries surrounding Sonny Bono’s death and why he believes the former entertainer-turned-politician was assassinated.
Fletcher began by providing background on the toy manufacturing company he started in Marietta, GA in the early ’80s. Fletcher said he merged his operations with a man he’d met at a marketing show in New York, and soon discovered that his new business partner was using the toy company as a front to supply armaments for covert NSA/CIA operations.
Fletcher left the partnership, tried to sue, and began an investigation into the activities of high ranking U.S. military and government officials, who he claims were involved not only in secret weapons dealings but in drug smuggling as well. Fletcher said he’d sent Bono his documentation and the congressman had looked it over and decided to go after the people mentioned in the report. A week and half later Bono was dead.
Fletcher went over the unusual circumstances of Bono’s death, noting that the evidence surrounding the fatal ski accident does not make sense. …

The strategy of the GOP in deciding their presumptive nominee will be the stuff history is made of. They chose as their darling, first Rudy Guiliani and painted him to be a hero of 911. But his legend was never realized. Widows of 911 and survivors’ families would follow him around his speaking engagements and expose his grievous errors in the tragedy, kind of a buzz kill for a mythical hero. The International Firefighters Association made up of the nations firefighters even created a video regarding the faulty radios Rudy never fixed because he gave what should have been a for bid contract to one of his buddies as a no bid contract. Many heroes lives were lost on that faithful day all to cronyism and abuse of power; all signatures we’ve come to know of the GOP. That’s one of those points even the nightly news couldn’t hide. And the final straw which threw the GOP into an emergency powwow in an attempt to prop up another phony hero as the presumptive nominee was Rudy being booed at Yankee Stadium. If the big apple can’t stand him, forget about the rest of the nation.
[They brought in Fred Thompson to defeat Ron Paul and billionaire Mitt Romney, who didn’t catch on – editor].
So they moved on to plan b, McCain. The other GOP candidates once out of money, moved aside expect one; Ron Paul. His campaign was moving along like a freight train. Now at this point in the game, Ron Paul had set an all time record for fund raising in one day, had the most contributions from active military of any candidate and was pulling voters from all parties into the GOP fold. But the GOP acted as though this ten term Republican Congressman from Texas didn’t exist. On the GOP website when listing potential GOP candidates many states didn’t even list him. They turned their back on a party candidate and they turned their back on potentially millions of new voters to the party. Most polls didn’t even offer him as a choice. The nightly news treated him with disdain and barely mentioned his speaking engagements where tens of thousands of people showed up to listen. I was personally at the University of Michigan where 4,000 people showed up and it didn’t make the news.
An interesting Google labs look into what Americans are searching for reveals some telling information about what Americans wanted and what the news and the GOP delivered. …
You can even watch spikes in McCain news coverage and spikes in searches relating to what users probably saw on TV, peaking their interest to learn more and going to the web. Paul had no such luxury. He was barely a blip on the radar of American election news coverage. Yet Americans were searching with no prompting from their nightly news. He gained amazing support with a complete media black out. This chart is from Google trends.
