    Despite the revelations of the past several years, nothing has changed to push back against the American police state. Our freedoms—especially the Fourth Amendment—continue to be choked out by a prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation.

    Despite the recent outrage and protests, nothing has changed to restore us to our rightful role as having dominion over our bodies, our lives and our property, especially when it comes to interactions with the government.

    Forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, forced inclusion in biometric databases—these are just a few ways in which Americans continue to be reminded that we have no control over what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials. Thus far, the courts have done little to preserve our Fourth Amendment rights, let alone what shreds of bodily integrity remain to us.

    Indeed, on a daily basis, Americans are being forced to relinquish the most intimate details of who we are—our biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to clear the nearly insurmountable hurdle that increasingly defines life in the United States.

    In other words, we are all guilty until proven innocent.

    Worst of all, it seems as if nothing will change as long as the American people remain distracted by politics, divided by their own prejudices, and brainwashed into believing that the Constitution still reigns supreme as the law of the land, when in fact, we have almost completed the shift into fascism.

    The Pentagon Creates Partnership with Apple to Develop Wearable Tech

    Moving along to today’s post, how free does it make you feel that the Department of Defense is partnering with 162 companies, universities and other groups to develop wearable technology? How independent can these companies and universities actually be when they are engaged in such schemes with the U.S. government. The answer is obvious: Not independent at all.

    From NBC News:

    Obama to appear on NBC survival show with Bear Grylls

    (CNN)While on his three-day trip to Alaska -- aimed at promoting climate change action -- President Barack Obama will tape an episode of "Running Wild with Bear Grylls," NBC and the White House announced Monday.

    The President will "trek through the wilderness" with survival expert Grylls, in the special edition of the show, set to air later this year according to a press release.

    The Dying Institutions Of Western Civilization

    Judiciary Branch Has Self-Abolished

    The US no longer has a judiciary. This former branch of government has transitioned into an enabler of executive branch fascism.

    Privacy is a civil liberty protected by the US Constitution. The Constitution relies on courts to enforce its prohibitions against intrusive government, but if the executive branch claims (no proof required) “national security,” courts kiss the Constitution good-bye.

    Continue . . . http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/08/31/dying-institutions-western-civilization/

    How do you change the way people think? You start by changing the words they use.

    In totalitarian regimes—a.k.a. police states—where conformity and compliance are enforced at the end of a loaded gun, the government dictates what words can and cannot be used. In countries where the police state hides behind a benevolent mask and disguises itself as tolerance, the citizens censor themselves, policing their words and thoughts to conform to the dictates of the mass mind.

    Even when the motives behind this rigidly calibrated reorientation of societal language appear well-intentioned—discouraging racism, condemning violence, denouncing discrimination and hatred—inevitably, the end result is the same: intolerance, indoctrination and infantilism.

    It’s political correctness disguised as tolerance, civility and love, but what it really amounts to is the chilling of free speech and the demonizing of viewpoints that run counter to the cultural elite.

    Epa threatens man with $16 million fine over pond

    The incident began in 2012 when Fort Bridger resident and rancher Andy Johnson built a small stock pond in order to provide water to his livestock.

    Shortly thereafter, Johnson was approached by the EPA and told that his pond violated the federal Clean Water Act, an infraction that carries a maximum fine of $37,000-per-day.

    Johnson, who says he obtained all proper permits prior to building the pond, believes the EPA has clearly overstepped its authority.

    “We went through all the hoops that the state of Wyoming required, and I’m proud of what we built,” Johnson said. “The EPA ignored all that.”

    The CIA and the Media: 50 Facts the World Needs to Know

    Popular and academic commentators have suggested various reasons for the almost universal failure of mainstream journalism in these areas, including newsroom sociology, advertising pressure, monopoly ownership, news organizations’ heavy reliance on “official” sources, and journalists’ simple quest for career advancement. There is also, no doubt, the influence of professional public relations maneuvers. Yet such a broad conspiracy of silence suggests another province of deception examined far too infrequently—specifically the CIA and similar intelligence agencies’ continued involvement in the news media to mold thought and opinion in ways scarcely imagined by the lay public.

    The following historical and contemporary facts–by no means exhaustive–provides a glimpse of how the power such entities possess to influence if not determine popular memory and what respectable institutions deem to be the historical record.

    The Rise Of The Inhumanes

    America’s descent into totalitarian violence is accelerating. Like the Bush regime, the Obama regime has a penchant for rewarding Justice (sic) Department officials who trample all over the US Constitution. Last year America’s First Black President nominated David Barron to be a judge on the First US Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.

    Barron is responsible for the Justice (sic) Department memo that gave the legal OK for Obama to murder a US citizen with a missile fired from a drone. The execution took place without charges presented to a court, trial, and conviction.

    Illinois Cops Lockdown Town in Search of Suspects in Police Shooting

    As more than a hundred police with dogs and helicopters conducted a manhunt, schools were closed and a no-fly zone was imposed over Fox Lake, a town of 10,500. The city is between Chicago and Milwaukee.

    The intense manhunt was conducted following the murder of a county deputy sheriff in Texas on Friday.

    Police increasingly deny citizens the right to free movement.

    Following the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, officials in Boston, a city of 600,000 people, imposed what was described as a “total lockdown” as police searched for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

    West Point professor calls on US military to target legal critics of war on terror

    In a lengthy academic paper, the professor, William C Bradford, proposes to threaten “Islamic holy sites” as part of a war against undifferentiated Islamic radicalism. That war ought to be prosecuted vigorously, he wrote, “even if it means great destruction, innumerable enemy casualties, and civilian collateral damage”.

    Other “lawful targets” for the US military in its war on terrorism, Bradford argues, include “law school facilities, scholars’ home offices and media outlets where they give interviews” – all civilian areas, but places where a “causal connection between the content disseminated and Islamist crimes incited” exist.

    “Shocking and extreme as this option might seem, [dissenting] scholars, and the law schools that employ them, are – at least in theory – targetable so long as attacks are proportional, distinguish noncombatants from combatants, employ nonprohibited weapons, and contribute to the defeat of Islamism,” Bradford wrote.

    http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/29/west-point-professor-target-legal-critics-war-on-terror

    Mr. Bradford has since resigned.

    West Point law professor who called for attacks on 'Islamic holy sites' resigns

    A law professor who published an inflammatory article urging attacks on law professors and “Islamic holy sites” and who has been dogged by accusations of misrepresenting his academic and military credentials has resigned from the US Military Academy at West Point, the Guardian has confirmed.

    http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/31/west-point-law-professor-william-bradford-resigns

    My guess is he'll either end up working in the DOJ or one of the many corporate sponsored think tanks, or even the DOD.

    DOD MANUAL ALLOWS JOURNALISTS TO BE HELD AS 'BELLIGERENTS'

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- New Defense Department guidelines allow commanders to punish journalists and treat them as "unprivileged belligerents" if they believe journalists are sympathizing or cooperating with the enemy.

    < snip >

    A person deemed "unprivileged belligerent" is not entitled to the rights afforded by the Geneva Convention so a commander could restrict from certain coverage areas or even hold indefinitely without charges any reporter considered an "unprivileged belligerent."

    http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_DEFENSE_DEPARTMENT_JOURNALISTS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

    First it was Al Qaeda or anyone labeled as "Al Qaeda" who were not entitled to the rights afforded by the Geneva Convention SEE THIS and now some years later journalists who are labeled "unprivileged belligerent" are not entitled to the rights afforded by the Geneva Convention.

    Professor William C Bradford would feel right at home at the DOD.

    War on Whistleblowers

    In the face of potentially life-threatening dangers, they dare to speak truth to power. They're the whistleblowers; the crusaders for truth who often stand as the lone link between corrupted corporate and governmental interests and the public's right to know. The stirring film War on Whistleblowers, directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Greenwald, outlines the challenges and sacrifices faced by these tireless activists, and calls attention to their increasing importance in a society where the powerful are more omniscient and unregulated than ever before.

    INSIDE JOB: POLICE SAY OFFICER SHOT, TORCHED OWN VEHICLE

    Massachusetts officer to be fired for fabricating entire event

    Police in Massachusetts say an officer shot and set fire to his own patrol vehicle Wednesday despite his claims that he had crashed into a tree after being attacked by a gunman.

    The officer’s initial claims resulted in a widespread manhunt, which included the deployment of the department’s Air Wing helicopter, as well as the closure of numerous public buildings including schools and libraries.

    Police have thus far made no comments regarding a possible motive, only stating that the officer would be relieved of duty. Police also declined to state whether the officer would face criminal charges.

    News of the alleged shooting further stoked nationwide fears of an intensifying rift between the public and law enforcement following the execution-style shooting of a Texas deputy late last week.

    SHERIFF’S DEPT. BACKS DOWN AFTER ATTACKING PRESS OVER POLICE SHOOTING VIDEO

    An embattled Texas sheriff’s department is saying it’s sorry after it reprimanded a local news group for airing footage showing two of its deputies gunning down a man who appeared to have his hands raised.

    Earlier today, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office issued an apology to ABC News affiliate “KSAT and to the public” for their treatment of the news agency following their release of exclusive footage featuring an officer-involved shooting that left a man dead.

    8 Frightening Characteristics of Propaganda

    Interesting look at how propaganda works. Many thanks to my friend CMG for bringing this article to my attention.

    https://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=101695

    I believe this article should be included in this thread as it reveals something about how propaganda has been and is being used by "those we trust" in government and media to lead us further down the path to fascism.

    Yes, I know the Castros and Russians have their propagandists to be sure but what I find even more interesting is how we tend to overlook how we ourselves are propagandists, for one reason or another we all fall prey to and adopt these same 8 characteristics of propaganda in our thinking and daily debates and discussions right here on Baptist Board, including myself.

    Crazy you say? Unintelligent thoughts from a kooky conspiracy theorist who has nothing of value to add to the discussions here?

    That's the first step . . . and it seems to be a favorite here.

    1) It Prevents Dialogue.

    “To be effective, propaganda cannot be concerned with detail... Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins… it does not tolerate discussion; by its very nature, it excludes contradiction and discussion.”


    Can anyone find examples of how step one has been used to prevent dialog from taking place here on Baptist Board?

    https://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=92615&page=2

    This thread has some good examples of the use of propaganda. Watch as my opponents desperately try to shut down this discussion using "step one".

    “To be effective, propaganda cannot be concerned with detail... Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins… it does not tolerate discussion; by its very nature, it excludes contradiction and discussion.”

    In other threads the fake report of "dead Russian soldiers" was used several times to support the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    This thread is a classic. Notice how many times my opponent uses the "guilt by association" fallacy to try to paint me as a "Putin lover" and disregards any and all evidence contrary to his beliefs.

    “To be effective, propaganda cannot be concerned with detail... Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins… it does not tolerate discussion; by its very nature, it excludes contradiction and discussion.”

    Well, now we know the "dead Russian soldiers" in Ukraine "evidence" he was using was fake.

    And where did it come from? "Western officials retweeting a Forbes report quoting a Ukrainian web-site quoting a non-existent Russia news web-site re Ukraine".

    So how trustworthy are these "officials" that propagated this fake news story and why did so many believe them without question?

    4) It Takes Over Education

    “Education and training are inevitably taken over, as the Napoleonic Empire demonstrated for the first time. No contrast can be tolerated between teaching and propaganda, between the critical spirit formed by higher education and the exclusion of independent thought. One must utilize the education of the young to condition them to what comes later.”


    Scouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More

    [​IMG]

    IMPERIAL, Calif. — Ten minutes into arrant mayhem in this town near the Mexican border, and the gunman, a disgruntled Iraq war veteran, has already taken out two people, one slumped in his desk, the other covered in blood on the floor.

    The responding officers — eight teenage boys and girls, the youngest 14 — face tripwire, a thin cloud of poisonous gas and loud shots — BAM! BAM! — fired from behind a flimsy wall. They move quickly, pellet guns drawn and masks affixed.

    “United States Border Patrol! Put your hands up!” screams one in a voice cracking with adolescent determination as the suspect is subdued.

    It is all quite a step up from the square knot.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/us/14explorers.html?_r=0

    I wonder if any of these kids have read the constitution and Declaration of Independence or have even engaged in discussions about the Bill of Rights and why our founders felt they were important enough to put them in writing?

    3) It is “Total”

    “Propaganda must be total. The propagandist must utilize all of the technical means at his disposal – the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, meetings, door-to-door canvassing. Modern propaganda must utilize all of these media. There is no propaganda as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a newspaper article here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few meetings and lectures, writes a few slogans on walls; that is not propaganda.”


    Have a look at this . . . 'Pariah' Putin On Post-MH17 Cover Pages

    "In the wake of the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, widely attributed to Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, many magazines and newspapers around the world issued damning indictments against Russian President Putin, portraying him on their covers as a bloodthirsty fiend, a pariah, a liar, and a murderer."

    http://www.rferl.org/media/photogallery/putin-on-cover-pages/25473951.html

    And that’s just print-media magazines. The same is being done in radio, TV, and the blogosphere.

    How can democracy be possible in a nation like that? The public are manipulated by lies, all supporting the aristocracy’s agenda; and two political Parties are financed by that same aristocracy, to use different sales-pitches for their shared agenda — never to expose the aristocracy’s agenda as being what it is: one in which the aristocracy exploits and uses the public, retaining the profits for itself, while transferring the losses off onto the public, thereby producing ever-increasing already-astronomical wealth-inequalities, and reducing governmental services to the public (which are reduced because more and more of government’s taxation-income is going toward absorbing the aristocracy’s accumulated load of losing bets, and toward paying ever-rising interest on the government’s resulting increasing debt-load).

    Is a nation like that a democracy?

    http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/02/propaganda-success-u-s-govt-reveled-success-lying-propaganda.html

    5) It Takes Over Literature and History

    “Propaganda will take over literature (present and past) and history, which must be rewritten according to propaganda’s needs.”


    Decisive evidence as to how the July 17th shooting-down of the MH17 Malaysian airliner occurred is being hidden by the four-nation team that’s doing the official ‘investigation’ into the plane-downing incident.

    First, see this, which explains why, if a ground-based missile shot down the airliner, then there can be no bullet-holes and no bullets, in the wreckage, nor in any of the corpses: http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/western-news-suppression-downing-mh-17-malaysian-jet/

    The decisive additional evidence (above and beyond that, which already is enough to prove that the Ukrainian Air Force shot the airliner down, and did it intentionally) is the coroner’s report on the corpse of the airliner’s pilot. If the pilot was killed by bullets, then the standard ‘explanation’ of the downing (that the plane was downed by a ground-fired missile) isn’t just false, it’s an outright hoax. So: where’s the pilot’s autopsy?

    http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/12/another-mh17-cover-hiding-key-autopsy.html

    This is just the tip of iceberg when it comes to rewriting history. There are hundreds if not thousands of examples of history being hidden or rewritten.

    Here's another example . . . http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/special/iraq/

    Do we recall how the US backed Saddam and looked the other way when "he gassed his own people" or do we only recall that "he was a evil dictator that had to go"?

    How about this one . . . How The Assad Regime Benefited From Gassing Its Own People

    While unusually detailed, the assessment does not include photographs, recordings or other hard evidence to support its claims. Nor does it offer proof to back up the administration’s assertion that top-ranking Syrian officials — possibly including President Bashar al-Assad — were complicit in the attack.

    Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-assad-benefited-from-ghouta-2014-8#ixzz3kjvCxmpr

    This is one MSM article out of hundreds from a Google search. In other words . . .

    3) It is “Total”

    “Propaganda must be total. The propagandist must utilize all of the technical means at his disposal – the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, meetings, door-to-door canvassing. Modern propaganda must utilize all of these media. There is no propaganda as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a newspaper article here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few meetings and lectures, writes a few slogans on walls; that is not propaganda.”


    CBS news asks "where's the evidence?"

    RUSH GOES THERE: WHAT IF BASHAR ASSAD IS BEING FRAMED?

    http://www.breitbart.com/blog/2013/09/03/rush-goes-there-what-if-bashar-assad-is-being-framed/

    Rebels and local residents in Ghouta accuse Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan of providing chemical weapons to an al-Qaida linked rebel group.

    Syria Exonerated!

    Sarin gas attack on Syria carried out by terrorists, orchestrated by Turkey

    Obama calls off massive U.S. military assault because truth discovered

    Just weeks before the August 21 gas attack in Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus, a highly classified briefing was sent to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel describing Erdogan’s desperation.

    The briefing focused on the fact that the CIA’s withdrawal from the “rat line” had left Erdogan exposed militarily and politically. Supplies to Syria could only go through Turkey, not Lebanon or Jordan. If Syria were to win, Erdogan’s dreams of conquest would turn into a nightmare of hostile radicals at his border. It further stated that Turkey had expressed “the need to do something that would precipitate a U.S. military response.”

    After the chemical attack, U.S. intelligence sensed that Syria couldn’t have carried out the attack and Turkey was suspect, but no one knew how it was done.

    Ultimately, it was Dempsey and the joint chiefs who convinced Obama to change course by telling him “that the Middle East would go up in smoke” if the attack was carried out.

    As intercepts and other intelligence kept coming in after the attacks, the evidence was found to support the suspicions. “We now know it was a covert action planned by Erdogan’s people to push Obama over the red line,” said Hersh’s former intelligence official. “They had to escalate to a gas attack in or near Damascus when the UN inspectors were there.”

    The inspectors had come to Damascus on August 18 to investigate previous gas attacks.

    - See more at: http://americanfreepress.net/?p=17005#sthash.gmg3WqKr.dpuf

    There's many more examples but this should be enough to give you pause the next time the mass media goes "total" with one narrative then reverts back to "step one"

    1) It Prevents Dialogue.

    “To be effective, propaganda cannot be concerned with detail... Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins… it does not tolerate discussion; by its very nature, it excludes contradiction and discussion.”


    to demonize anyone who has questions or to discount contradictory evidence.

    So why aren't we hearing more about Turkey's role in using poison gas to kill Syrians? Maybe because Turkey is already subservient to Washington and the "international community" where as Assad is not? Turkey may have used poison gas to kill/murder Syrians in order to frame Assad and nary a word is written about it?

    Where's the "total" wall to wall condemnation of Turkey? Where's the "total" wall to wall demonization of Erdogan portraying him on the covers of magazines and newspapers as a "bloodthirsty fiend, a pariah, a liar, and a murderer"?

    We'll never see it because . . .

    8) It Aims at Irrational Action

    “The aim of modern propaganda is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action. It is no longer to change adherence to a doctrine, but to make the individual cling irrationally to a process of action. It is no longer to lead to a choice, but to loosen the reflexes. It is no longer to transform an opinion, but to arouse an active and mythical belief.”


    What is the irrational action the government and MSM propagandists are aiming for? Syrian regime change.

    The 2030 Agenda: This Month The UN Launches A Blueprint For A New World Order With The Help Of The Pope

    Did you know that the UN is planning to launch a “new universal agenda” for humanity in September 2015? That phrase does not come from me – it is actually right in the very first paragraph of the official document that every UN member nation will formally approve at a conference later this month. The entire planet is going to be committing to work toward 17 sustainable development goals and 169 specific sustainable development targets, and yet there has been almost a total media blackout about this here in the United States. The UN document promises that this plan will “transform our world for the better by 2030“, and yet very few Americans have even heard of the 2030 Agenda at this point. Instead, most of us seem to be totally obsessed with the latest celebrity gossip or the latest nasty insults that our puppet politicians have been throwing around at one another. It absolutely amazes me that more people cannot understand that Agenda 2030 is a really, really big deal. When will people finally start waking up?

    As I discussed in a previous article, the 2030 Agenda is taking the principles and goals laid out in Agenda 21 to an entirely new level. Agenda 21 was primarily focused on the environment, but the 2030 Agenda addresses virtually all areas of human activity. It truly is a blueprint for global governance.

    And later this month, nearly every nation on the entire planet is going to be signing up for this new agenda. The general population of the planet is going to be told that this agenda is “voluntary” and that it is all about “ending poverty” and “fighting climate change”, but that is not the full story. Unfortunately, there is so much positive spin around this plan that most people will not be able to see through it. Just check out an excerpt from a piece that was published on the official UN website yesterday…

    Deleting American History: Under New Standards, “U.S. Constitution Simply Ignored by Teachers”

    “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. […] He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” – George Orwell, 1984

    Common Core and similar corporate-driven efforts to alter education are starting to have some serious consequences.

    Rewriting history is a major part of the silent takeover that is and has been underway for some time.

    The powers that be are interested in control, not in freedom. That much is understood.

    As such, American history – as ugly and bloody as it has been – cannot be told. Knowledge about the U.S. Constitution, the critical Bill of Rights and the revolution for independence are inconvenient facts to the new social engineering.

    Incredibly, public schools are now actually beginning to rewrite history by omitting this pivotal chapter from classrooms.

    According to EAGnews.org, South Dakota – which is a Common Core state – is literally leaving it untaught:

    TEXAS SHERIFF SAYS YOU HAVE TO OBEY THE POLICE BECAUSE THEIR ‘AUTHORITY COMES FROM GOD’

    A Texas sheriff recently lashed out at critics, saying that citizens have a moral obligation to “obey the police” because their “authority comes from God.”

    Randy Meeks is the Hunt County sheriff, and he believes he is doing “God’s work.”

    Meeks recently published a guest editorial in the local Herald-Banner. In it, he cited Bible verses that he claims argue that any one the government puts in charge of you must be obeyed.

    The article was run in print only, but photographed by our friend Brett Sanders. Check out those images below…

    < snip >

    The sheriff added that anyone who criticizes the police is defying God, and that this is merely “the ignorance of some people.” He urged officers to “hang in there” while Godless citizens criticize them for punching pregnant women in the belly.

    Sheep Led To The Slaughter: The Muzzling Of Free Speech In America

    By John Whitehead, constitutional and human rights attorney, and founder of the Rutherford Institute.

    “If the freedom of speech be taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”—George Washington

    The architects of the American police state must think we’re idiots.

    With every passing day, we’re being moved further down the road towards a totalitarian society characterized by government censorship, violence, corruption, hypocrisy and intolerance, all packaged for our supposed benefit in the Orwellian doublespeak of national security, tolerance and so-called “government speech.”

    BUSTED! Establishment Media Caught Faking News

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyEGZxCEXUo

    Many of us have suspected for years that American elections are a sham. Not only does it seem like nothing changes no matter how many times we vote the bums out, but sometimes the votes themselves don’t seem to add up. Especially now that we have electronic voting machines, which don’t provide a whole lot of accountability and are notoriously easy to hack.

    Fortunately, you can still tell when the votes don’t make sense, even with electronic voting machines. In states like Kansas, where in some counties they use electronic voting machines that also record the votes on paper tapes, there seems to be some blatant inconsistencies with the voting results from the past few elections.

    Welcome to America – Several Things to Ponder as the Saudi King Visits the White House

    As we speak, U.S. leaders are rolling out the red carpet for one of the most ruthless and barbaric governments in the world: Saudi Arabia.

    This isn’t hyperbole. I’ve written a multitude of posts on this very topic over the years as a way to demonstrate the complete and total hypocrisy of U.S. foreign policy. Which is not just anti-democratic, but one of the key contributors to violence and instability around the world.

    < snip >

    So how does America receive this monarchy of mobsters which makes ISIS look like the Easter Bunny? This is how.

    From USA Today:

    WASHINGTON — When you’re royalty, go big or don’t go at all.

    That’s at least true for Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, who touched down on U.S. soil Thursday to the sight of dozens of black luxury cars awaiting his arrival at Joint Base Andrews located just outside Washington in Prince George’s County, Md.

    Wall Street Journal reporter Carol Lee snapped a photo of his epic entourage. (On a recent trip to France, Salman had a 10-vehicle motorcade, and hired an additional 400 luxury car drivers, the BBC reported.)

    And his visit is huge — like “renting out the entire Four Seasons hotel and making it gold” huge.

    Politico reported that the lavish hotel chain’s Georgetown location has been redecorated, rolling out enough red carpet to keep Salman and his family from ever touching the asphalt. Almost everything has a golden touch, regulars observed, from the mirrors to the hat racks — how elegant!

    Just a little something to consider over the long weekend.

    The Money Masters

    "The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private ... all » hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world's money..."

    THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation, including America, has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.
