We’ve covered the ongoing link between popular video game series Call of Duty and the use of torture against enemies in length before. The newest edition of the series, with a plot that heavily involves biochemical engineering (bio-weapons), features a scene where you torture someone by sticking a shard of glass in their mouth and punching them repeatedly.

Promiscuity & The Death of Love
Why women today are losing the ability to love, and how men must adjust.
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
If a young woman today said she was saving her virginity for her husband, she’d be considered hopelessly old fashioned. She’d be treated with disdain, as polite society treated a whore 100 years ago.
This is a measure of the triumph of Satanism, the “religion” of the modern world, which lurks behind secularism. Not coincidentally, virgins also had to hide their purity in Bolshevik Russia.
The defining characteristic of civilization is the consecration of sex to marriage, or at the very least, love and courtship. Marriage and family are the red blood cells of a healthy society and the basis for procreation.
Satanists understand this very well. That’s why they used “sexual liberation,” to undermine humanity. As Giuseppe Mazzini said, “we corrupt in order to conquer.”
They are like the devil. Corruption is a form of conquest. Enslavement can take the form of addiction, to sex or drugs or alcohol.
Any animal can have anonymous sex. It is human to form a permanent loving bond and raise children properly. This is why Satanists use free love to attack attack marriage.
FREE LOVE IS AN OXYMORON
The more sexual partners a young woman has, the less she is able to love a man. A woman’s love must be exclusive. It must be focused on her husband, the father of her children. She must preserve her soul for him. That’s what her body represents. By becoming a sexual free agent, she loses the ability to love.
For a woman, sex is an act of self-sacrifice and surrender. By definition, it requires trust, i.e. love and devotion to one man. When she has casual sex, inevitably she is disappointed and feels used. She starts to hate men and falls victim to feminism and lesbianism.
When men were required to get married in order to have sex, women were courted and loved. Later, they were honored for their contribution as wife and mother. Far from protecting “women’s rights,” feminism has left them twisting in the wind.
The separation of sex from marriage, i.e. “sexual liberation,” is one of the principle ways satanism has killed love.
Wanton sex has become a substitute for love. Young women now market themselves as sex partners, not wives and mothers. Men are also trained to seek sex.

“They who can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin
From: wikiquote: Benjamin Franklin
- They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- This was written by Franklin, with quotation marks but almost certainly his original thought, sometime shortly before February 17, 1775 as part of his notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly, as published in Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin(1818). A variant of this was published as:
- Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
- This was used as a motto on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania. (1759); the book was published by Franklin; its author was Richard Jackson, but Franklin did claim responsibility for some small excerpts that were used in it.
- Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
- An earlier variant by Franklin in Poor Richard’s Almanack (1738): “Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.“
- Many paraphrased derivatives of this have often become attributed to Franklin:
- They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.
He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.
People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.
Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.
- They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- This was written by Franklin, with quotation marks but almost certainly his original thought, sometime shortly before February 17, 1775 as part of his notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly, as published in Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin(1818).

In his historical novel, The Leopard, Giuseppe di Lampedusa writes that things have to change in order to remain the same. That is what happened in the US congressional elections on November 2.
Americans out of work, out of income, out of homes and prospects, and out of hope for their children’s careers are angry.
Jobs offshoring, which began on a large scale with the collapse of the Soviet Union, has merged the Democrats and Republicans into one party with two names. The Soviet collapse changed attitudes in socialist India and communist China and opened those countries, with their large excess supplies of labor, to Western capital.
Pushed by Wall Street and Wal-Mart, American manufacturers moved production for US markets offshore to boost profits and shareholder earnings by utilizing cheap labor. The decline of the US manufacturing work force reduced the political power of unions and the ability of unions to finance the Democratic Party. The end result was to make the Democrats dependent on the same sources of financing as Republicans.
Prior to this development, the two parties, despite their similarities, represented different interests and served as a check on one another. The Democrats represented labor and focused on providing a social safety net. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment insurance, housing subsidies, education, and civil rights were Democratic issues. Democrats were committed to a full employment policy and would accept some inflation to secure more employment.
The Republicans represented business. The Republicans focused on curtailing big government in all its manifestations from social welfare spending to regulation. The Republicans’ economic policy consisted of opposing federal budget deficits.
These differences resulted in political competition.
Today both parties are dependent for campaign finance on Wall Street, the military/security complex, AIPAC, the oil industry, agri-business, pharmaceuticals, and the insurance industry. Campaigns no longer consist of debates over issues. They are mud-slinging contests.
Angry voters take their anger out on incumbents, and that is what we saw in the election. Tea Party candidates defeated Republican incumbents in primaries, and Republicans defeated Democrats in the congressional elections.
Policies, however, will not change qualitatively. Quantitatively, Republicans will be more inclined to more rapidly dismantle more of the social safety net than Democrats and more inclined to finish off the remnants of civil liberties. But the powerful private oligarchs will continue to write the legislation that Congress passes and the President signs. New members of Congress will quickly discover that achieving re-election requires bending to the oligarchs’ will.
This might sound harsh and pessimistic. But look at the factual record. In his campaign for the presidency, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton’s foreign adventures and vowed to curtail America’s role as the policeman of the world. Once in office, Bush pursued the neoconservatives’ policy of US world hegemony via military means, occupation of countries, setting up puppet governments, and financial intervention in other countries’ elections.

“One of the cornerstones of my life is that I understand that I can’t be forgiven unless I forgive.

But I’ve got to tell you it’s going to take me some time on this. There are some journalists in this town….”

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.

Lyrics and Mix by: MoRtiS NoCTu
Lyrics:
“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.” – President James Madison
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” – Thomas Jefferson
Verse 1:
They’re closing the door.
they’re locking the cage.
Lady Liberty is rollin’ straight to the grave.
The home of the brave,
now the land of the slaves.
The Wall’s being built up in stages,
by the same criminal scum who devalue our wages:
Rothschilds agents,
all throughout history’s pages
centralizing the economies of nations,
spreading their influence by means of infiltration.
Greed
Deceit
Persistence
Patience
All the M.O.
of the N.W.O.
Funding socialism as a means of centralizing control.
Neo-feudalistic world government is the goal.
Mayer Rothschild talkin’ like he’s a god.
Think about the implications,
even take a pause.
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
(He said)
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Mayer Rothschild talkin’ like he’s a god.
Think about the implications.
(Repeats in the background)
Don’t sleep Lady Liberty, open your eyes.
Enter the light, so you can see through the lies.
Open your mind, so you can find the truth.
Your Survival and Rights depend on YOU.
Verse 2:
Lady Liberty don’t close your eyes,
cuz’ in the darkness the evil multples,
cuz’ out of the light of the public
The Bilderberg Group’s dismantling the barbed wire
built to guard our rights and our justice.
A Constitution,
10 Amendments
written on hemp,
to give strength
to a group of people in need of an uprising
in time to defeat a treasonous leader.
National politics is modern day broadway theater.
Obama and his cronies
are nothing but a bunch of Wall Street thugs, puppets and phonies.
Dumpin’ their B.P. stock before the well blew,
then lyin’ to the public like “Who the hell knew?”
And you can think that isn’t the case,
but Rahm Emmanuel states,
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste”
Even if the have to create one,
if they lack the cash,
they’re the banks,
they just make some!
Chorus:
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Wake Up America
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
MoRtiS NoCTu
End The Fed! End The Fed! End The Fed! End the Fed!
(“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”)
2010
End The Fed! End The Fed! End The Fed!
(Mayer Rothschild talkin’ like he’s a god. Think about the implications.)
Before its too late.
(Repeats in the background)
Don’t sleep Lady Liberty, open your eyes.
Enter the light, so you can see through the lies.
Open your mind, so you can find the truth.
Your Survival and Rights depend on YOU.
Verse 3:
Sweet sister I know the burden is heavy,
but you need to keep your head up high so it doesn’t get buried
by the ever-rising mountain if debt
issued by THE FED
engineered to lead the middle class to its end.
These are
dangerous times that we’re livin’ in.
Whole toxic oceans of bogus financial instruments we swimmin’ in.
The global derivatives market is comprised of
over $1.5 quadrillion ($1,500,000,000,000,000)
Its the biggest bubble ever waiting to implode,
heralding a reign of darkness all over the globe.
Enough to swallow up the world’s G.D.P. repeatedly.
Literally more then 20 times the whole earth’s annual productivity.
Listen to me.
Banking business elite
built the existing system to cheat
us out of our rights and money by extracting and using the value.
If you could ask Mayer Rothschild he would tell you:
Chorus:
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
“Give me control of a nations money, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Mayer Rothschild talkin’ like he’s a god.
Think about the implications.
(Repeats in the background)
Don’t sleep Lady Liberty, open your eyes.
Enter the light, so you can see through the lies.
Open your mind, so you can find the truth.
Your Survival and Rights depend on YOU.
