Neuro-Technology: Pentagon’s DARPA Continues To Push “Black Box” Brain Chip Implant

Pentagon wants to “help” soldiers and seniors by implanting devices to trigger memories

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research arm of the military, is continuing to develop implantable brain chips, according to documents newly posted as part of the agency’s increased “transparency” policy.

 The agency is seeking to develop a portable, wireless device that “must incorporate implantable probes” to record and stimulate brain activity – in effect, a memory triggering ‘black box’ device.

The process would entail placing wires inside the brain, and under the scalp, with electrical impulses fired up through a transmitter placed under the skin of the chest area.

 Bloomberg first picked up the story last week, and since then several tech blogs have jumped on board, describing the technological push as part of a project to help injured soldiers, and part an initiative set up by the Obama administration to find treatments for brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s.
In reality, this project has been ongoing for years, decades in fact. And given that the Pentagon war machine is spear-heading it, with $70m of funding, one must seriously question why the DoD suddenly gives a damn about war wounded vets, never mind everyday Americans with brain disorders.
The documents state that rather than aid general memory loss, such a device would enable the ability to recover “task-based motor skills” like driving cars, operating machinery, tying shoe laces or even flying planes. It would also help recover memory loss surrounding traumatic events – according to the documents.
Memory loss surrounding trauma occurs for a reason, so the individual can, at some point, slowly work back toward living a normal life. One has to wonder, from this description, whether DARPA’s brain implant, would merely facilitate “patching up”, soldiers, and sending them back out to duty, as if they were defective robots.
Indeed, that is the kind of transhumanism project that DARPA revels in. Just last year it was revealed that a DARPA team has constructed a machine that functions like a human brain and would enable robots to think independently and act autonomously.
There have also long been reports of DARPA seeking to develop technology that enables military masters to literally control the brains of soldiers and make them want to fight. A 2008 report for the US military detailed this initiative, along with possible weaponry including “Pharmacological landmines” that release chemicals to incapacitate enemy soldiers and torture techniques that involve delivering electronic pulses into the brains of terror suspects.
The report, titled “Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies”, detailed byWired and the London Guardian, was commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the intelligence wing of the Department of Defense. It contains scientific research into the workings of the human mind and suggestions for the development of new war fighting technologies based upon the findings.
In a section focusing on mind control, the report states

If we can alter the brain, why not control it? [...] One potential use involves making soldiers want to fight. Conversely, how can we disrupt the enemy’s motivation to fight? [...] How can we make people trust us more? What if we could help the brain to remove fear or pain? Is there a way to make the enemy obey our commands?

It concludes that “drugs can be utilized to achieve abnormal, diseased, or disordered psychology” and also suggests that scanners able to read the intentions or memories of soldiers could be developed.
The report clearly does not rule out the use of such mind scanning technology on civilians as it suggests that “In situations where it is important to win the hearts and minds of the local populace, it would be useful to know if they understand the information being given them.”
It also suggests that the technology will one day have applications in counter-terrorism and crime-fighting and “might be good enough to help identify people at a checkpoint or counter who are afraid or anxious.”
The notion of “recording” brain activity is also something that DARPA has long sought to master. The concept may seem completely outlandish, yet it has been the central focus of DARPA activities for some time with projects such as LifeLog, which seeks to gain a multimedia, digital record of everywhere a person goes and everything they see, hear, read, say and touch.
Wired Magazine has reported:

On the surface, the project seems like the latest in a long line of DARPA’s “blue sky” research efforts, most of which never make it out of the lab. But DARPA is currently asking businesses and universities for research proposals to begin moving LifeLog forward.

“What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?” the article asks. The answer lies in the stated goal of the US military – “Total Spectrum Dominance”.

 Furthermore, assertions that the neuro technology would not be in any way dominant over a person’s capacity to think, does not tally with DARPA’s Brain Machine Interfaces enterprise, a $24 million project reported on in the August 5, 2003 Boston Globe.

 The project is developing technology that “promises to directly read thoughts from a living brain – and even instill thoughts as well… It does not take much imagination to see in this the makings of a matrix-like cyberpunk dystopia: chips that impose false memories, machines that scan for wayward thoughts, cognitively augmented government security forces that impose a ruthless order on a recalcitrant population.” The Globe reported.
Government funded advances in neurotechnology which also focus on developing the ability to essentially read people’s minds should also set alarm bells ringing.
It is also well documented that the military and the federal government have been dabbling in mind control and manipulation experimentation for decades.
Brain implants are a very scary proposition, however, and selling such a thing to veterans, and especially to the wider American populace, may be a harder task than selling them a pill to pop. Which is why some, including one former DARPA director and now a Google executive, have also been developing devices such as edible chips and e-tattoos.

Transhumanism is trendy!

The next step: 3D printing the human body

As 3D printing advances at an astonishing rate, will it soon be possible to 3D print a human body? Rhiannon Williams investigates

 11 Feb 2014 //  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10629531/The-next-step-3D-printing-the-human-body.html

Bioprinting, or the process of creating human tissues through 3D printers, is a highly contested area of technological innovation. Theoretically it could save the economy billions on a global scale, whilst boosting weak or war-torn countries' access to more affordable health care and provision, whether producing prosthetic limbs or highly customised fully-working human organs.

From a technological perspective, the rise and development of 3D printing and its capabilities will play an undeniable part in our future lives. But how does the process work?

UK-based company PrinterInks has teamed up with US startup Organovo, a company specialised in designing and printing functional human tissue for medical research and therapeutic applications, to create a visual guide to the subject.

3D printed human tissue is created by using modified printer cartridges and extracted cells, sourced from patient biopsies with respect to examining cancer cells, or stem cells. They're grown using standard techniques and cultured in a growth medium in dishes, allowing them to multiply.

Once enough cells have grown, they're collected and formed into spheroids or other shapes and loaded into a cartridge to create BioInk.

The BioInk is loaded into a NovoGen MMX bioprinter along with a cartridge of Hydrogel, a kind of synthetic matrix effectively used as a kind of scaffolding for building 3D layers of cells. The printer prints a layer of the water-based gel, followed by a layer of BioInk cells, and so on. The layered calls naturally fuse together as the layers and built upon.
^{The printer with its BioInk and Hydrogel cartridges}
Once the desired amount of layers is printed, the printed tissue is left to mature and grow as a structure, during which time the hydrogel is removed. Other researchers experimenting with bioprinting have used a sugar and water solution as a form of support for the vascular structures to great success.
Currently printed tissues are generally used for medical research; introducing disease to monitor how the tissue reacts and how future treatments may be developed. In the future, it's very likely 3D printers will be used to create simple tissues for implanting into current organs and partial organs. The printing of whole organs, if approved, could be a reality within the next decade.
Organovo recently bioprinted its first 3D liver tissue for testing purposes, and can create 24 strips of liver tissues within a single plate. In 2010 the company also printed the first human blood vessel without the use of scaffolds.
They estimate it would currently take 10 days to print an average sized liver and lobe, but estimate the speed and efficiency with which they could create such tissue structures will greatly advance in the future. After all, it would currently take 1,690,912,929,600 hours to print a liver for every member of the human race using the process in its current form.
In the mean time, Organovo plans to market and launch its 3D liver tissue to pharmaceutical companies and research labs by the end of December, and is currently developing bioprinted breast cancer tissues alongside lung and muscle tissues. With the technology advancing at such a rate, entire organs and bodies produced by 3D printers is becoming a concrete reality, rather than a freaky sci-fi concept.
^{The bionic ear in all its glory}
In August last year the Hangzhou Dianzi University in China announced it had created biomaterial 3D printer Regenovo, which printed a small working kidney that lasted four months. Earlier in 2013, a two-year-old child in the US received a windpipe built with her own stem cells, and Princeton University printed a 'bionic ear' using a modified ink-jet printer onto a petri dish.
Ethically and morally, concerns have been raised over ensuring the quality of the organs, and who controls the right to produce them. Others claim 3D printing human components further blurs the line between man and machine, giving us the right to 'play God' on an unprecedented scale. But there is no denying that bioprinting has the potential to revolutionise medicine and healthcare beyond what seemed possible even 20 years ago.

The Parasitical Elite – Defining The Shifting Enemy Of The Common Man

The Parasitical Elite – Defining The Shifting Enemy Of The Common Man

Who are these people? Some will immediately chime in, “They aren't people at all!” Perhaps so...perhaps not. They go by many names; The Powers That Be, The Illuminati, The Freemasons, The Brotherhood of the Snake, The Universal Brotherhood, The Sinisteri are but a few. The broad term, Parasitical Elite, is more description than a branded label.

There is a designed ambiguity surrounding the Parasitical Elite. Through millennia, however, certain constants manifest themselves; they are as unavoidable as the age found in a person's eyes regardless of the best efforts of cosmetic surgery. Parasitical Elites, regardless who you think they are, are evil. 'Evil' is itself a subjective term, but in the broad context of the thought processes of non-psychopathic people, we can all agree on a universal definition of evil as the desire to do harm to others.

From before the time of Christ in ancient Sumeria, right up to present day, the Parasitical Elite have alternately appeared, disappeared and reappeared under different guises; in the form of secret societies, political ideologies and occult institutions. This is not accidental. Obfuscation is a pillar upon which their agenda for global domination rests.

The employment of the root word 'parasite' is accurate. Regardless of what they choose to be known as within any given epoch, they are parasites - they latch on to a host and drain it of whatever is required for the parasite to thrive.

How far the blinders have come off will usually help define what we consider to be the Parasitical Elite. For those newly awoken, the Parasitical Elite might be corporations, or even the Democratic or Republican party. At the sleep leaves one's eyes, the central bankers. At yet another, it might be the '13 Families', or the reptilian bloodlines, or the Nephilim. Or European royalty and nobility. At yet another, the Ashkenazim. For some, it's simply “The Jews”. Catholics. Organized religion. All of these are correct, in one fashion or another. And all of these are not correct - this is the nature of created ambiguity. Confusion is the Parasitical Elite's friend. If everyone is the bogeyman, then no one is the bogeyman. These parasites operate on many levels; attaching to races, institutions and ideologies until such time as they have consumed their micro host and move on to more fertile ground from which to ever realize their goal of global domination. From domination comes fear and negativity. We, humanity, are the primary host from which they seek to feed upon. They do so by creating and controlling instruments (nothing more, really) such as belief systems and political systems such as communism and socialism...'isms' that fight each other and create fear and death. Parasites depleting the host...us.

This article's title question still begs to be answered. Some might ask who they are. Others, with an eye to a larger canvass, might ask what they are. Are they aliens, as William Bramley, author of Gods of Eden believes? He makes a very convincing case to that effect. This worthy read will open anyone's eyes to a great unveiling of truths. Even if one cannot or will not subscribe to the alien theory convincingly posited, there is a great deal of historically accurate data pertaining to secret societies such as the Bavarian Illuminati, William of Orange, or the origins of the House of Windsor.

Many believe the Parasitical Elite are divine beings of evil origin. How they differ from aliens is a theological distinction that escapes me, but many will defend that argument. It is believed they have come to us or been cast from their place of origin, depending on what holy book or legend one ascribes to. Wherever they come from, they are here to feed upon negativity and fear. This rings especially loud when speaking of Satan and his demon horde. There is a library of Alexandria-esque proportions detailing the hierarchy for these entities, sub-categories of demons and angels, such as Nephilim, Seraphim's, demi-gods and demi-urges and the like. Beneath this blanket nestles a host of various mythologies and theological structures such as the Greek Gods, the Norse gods, and a great many non-western and tribal mythologies. Without intending to ruffle any feathers, a widely held belief claims modern, organized western religions are simply present day humanity's current theological lover. Will Christ, or Allah, or Shiva be spoken of in current context two thousand years from now? Perhaps, as they have survived that long already. But in five thousand years? Six thousand? Before answering a thunderously indignant “OF COURSE!”, ask yourself if you can name the primary Gods of Sumer, or even Egypt. Most cannot, yet they were deities that shaped the course of our history. Many will argue that these deities of antiquity have been re branded into the deities we worship today, and I will not argue that assertion, finding it to be spot on.

In defining the Parasitical Elite, dipping in the shallow end of the pool, a person's opinion of the elite goes no farther than politicians and businessmen.

Deeper into water, reaching above the waist, the opinion of who the Parasitical Elite are changes. The veil is lifted a bit and central banksters, the multi-trillion Rothschild clan or their evil and malevolent offspring the Rockefeller's become identified. Subsidiary evils might include Wall Street denizens, the spider webs of global corporations, the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, Skull & Bones or the Council of Rome; all evil, all psychopathic in leadership, membership and objectives; yet all are just clothes of different cuts, emanating from the same wardrobe. They are, indeed, but garments draped upon evil entities; the physical manifestations required to give corporeal substance to these malevolent entities, the better to aide in their ongoing campaign of destruction and control.

To swim in the deep end is to lose purchase with our physical reality, much as one must tread water to remain afloat. The universe is a big place. Infinite? Maybe. Do we inhabit just one universe in an ocean of universes? Perhaps. Science has proven that within the broad electromagnetic spectrum, our decidedly limited scope of perception perceives a tiny fraction of what is known to exist. If we can allow there is a vast spectrum of energy and existence we are not privy to, then we must allow the possibility of invisible (undetectable within the scope of our visible electromagnetic spectrum) entities existing all around us. Some will call these unseen entities spirits, demons, ghosts or Gods. Given (we now know) there is more unknown than known, we cannot rule out they do not exist. It is more probable and logical to allow that they do exist. Being of non-physical substance, they do not eat food as we define food. They do not get drunk on what we call alcohol. These entities feed upon fear and negative emotion. The tools they use to grow their food are found in the machinations of central banks, the CFR, warmongering corporations and a host of earthly minions, all dedicated to sowing fear and creating negative emotion within us. This is their food. This is the harvest they seek to reap, and our planet is the field. We, as individuals are the kernels. But they don't want wheat - they want the chaff. Where there is wheat, they seek to create chaff. It is the more fertile from which to germinate fear and insecurity, the consumption of which only makes them stronger.

Allowing there is a yin and yang to everything, a universal balance if you will, then the obvious conclusion to be drawn is that love is the antidote to hate; that positive emotion is the antidote to negative emotion.

There is a universal battle being waged for our little sparks of energy each of us possesses. One side, via the trappings of various earthly instruments, seeks to entrap us in fear, while the other side seeks to envelop us in love. Negative entities are decidedly more proactive, while the forces of light, no less concerned or desirous of our energy, remain in stasis; it is only by embracing love that one can become part of it. Positive light and love cannot be accepted in the form of deception, whereas fear can. Fortunately, all but the darkest heart instinctively will shy from evil. As social psychologists would have it, roughly 4 % of the human population will embrace evil. A brighter outlook on this is that 96% will not seek out evil, but must have it inserted. This is where the Parasitical Elite shine via their earthly instruments. Industries created to promote lust, greed, covetousness, materialism, pornography, inebriation and a boatload of other human weaknesses; these are the keys that open the door to fear and negativity. Those lesser and mis-diagnosed definitions of Parasitical Elites found in the shallow waters of the newly awakened are only tools created by the true Parasitical Elites...tools designed to separate us, or our spiritual energy, to be precise, from the light and positive energy that love emits.

So, at the end of the day, the only way to defeat these Parasitical Elites is to reject their wars, their moral corruptions and other means designed and projected on us daily in an effort to keep us from the light of love. Darkness flees before light. One doesn't go into a well lit room and ignite a candle of darkness to banish the light. Sadly, these Parasitical Elite have used religion for eons as the primary vehicle to create despair. War is evil incarnate. There is no good or justified war. There is simply war. Christians, Jews and Muslims, take heed! Your violent defense of your faith is little more than fuel to stoke the furnace of evil. Peace is love...to embrace peace is to embrace the light. As Gandhi said, “There is no path to peace, peace is the path.

The Soviet Zombie Experiments

• 
  
•

Behind the Iron Curtain, the Soviets were toying with something more sinister than a sane mind could fathom; reanimating severed organs and body parts, and breeding undead, mutated beasts.
Some of the most disturbing imagery is related to the experiments on the revival of organisms by Soviet scientist Dr. S.S. Bryukhonenko, held at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy, Voronezh, U.S.S.R. The videos paint a grotesque picture of what was taking place behind the walls of the doomed communist regime.
A 1940 video of the experiments, available through the public archive, details the experiments in which parts of dead animals (dogs, in this case) are reanimated through the use of machinery. For credibility sake, I’ll post the video, but be warned it contains violent imagery with extreme cruelty to animals. You can find it here.
One segment of the video shows the severed head of a dog hooked into a heart-lung machine Bryukhonenko called an “autojector.” As the machine begins to pump, the dog’s head slowly returns to life. To prove that the dog is aware, the scientists begin to torment it, and in one scene rub a q-tip of acid inside its nostril which the undead dog promptly begins licking. Another segment shows a severed heart still beating through the use of machines, along with other reanimated organs.
The contraption and its associated horrors were first displayed at the 1928 Third Congress of Physiologists of the USSR.
A similar experiment was conducted in 1954 by Soviet scientist Vladimir Demikhov, yet instead of keeping the dog alive with a machine, he connected it to the vital organs of another animal. Demikhov’s two-headed zombie dog can be seen in a Russian-language public archive video, which I’ll link here, again for the sake of credibility, yet with heavy viewer discretion.
To create the creature, Demikhov chopped a puppy in half just beneath its forearms and grafted it onto the neck of a mature dog. He created 20 of the two-headed creatures, yet they typically did not live long due to tissue rejection.
Despite the short life span of his animals (about a month at the longest), Demikhov’s experiments had a resonating effect, and a type of arms race sprung up around reanimation. The U.S. government funded a similar project of Robert White who on March 14, 1970, successfully chopped off the head of a monkey and brought it back to life by grafting it onto the headless body of another monkey. It lived for a day, hatefully glaring at White.
In an interview with BBC, White said he and his team were able to “transplant the brain as a separate organ into an intact animal and maintain it in a viable, or living situation for many days … We’ve been able to retain the brain in the skull, and in the head.”
The BBC summarized this: “That, he said meant the monkey was conscious, and that it could see, hear, taste and smell because the nerves were left intact in the head.”
Following the success of the experiment, White began touring in search of two human patients willing to undergo the experiment. He found Craig Vetovitz, who was partially handicapped, yet unable to find a second subject who was willing, his work faded into the shadows.

Government Labels those who Grow Their Own Food ‘Extremists’

                          (NaturalSociety) Those who mean to lord over us, such as the Department of Defense, have now called people who grow their own food ‘radical’ and extremists. Sound familiar? It’s just like the US calling other nations terrorists when our government has terrorized more of the ‘free’ world than we could even imagine. It has basically called its own citizens terrorists already with NSA spying.How in the world has it come to this? Americans are becoming ‘serfs’ to their own government much the same way that the British monarchy forced self-sufficient farmers to divide up their land into mono-cropping plots so that they could tax the heck out of everyone and make them reliant upon the same system of tenet farming which then enslaved the masses.
What’s worse, even the founding fathers are considered ‘extremists’ by the Pentagon, according to a new training manual that labels farmers as such. This bit of information was discovered by the legal watchdog, Judicial Watch, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, and was included in over 133 documents provided by the Air Force. To teach our military to root out ‘extremism’ in a ‘student guide’, those who would decide to grow some organic cabbage, non-GMO corn, and tomatoes, for example, would be considered a threat to national defense. Even though the document says that this is ‘for training purposes only’ and ‘do not use on the job,’ why on earth would such a reference be made? It is simply preposterous.
The manual goes on to pigeonhole those who would have the gall to grow their own food:
An “extremist” is “a person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacist causes based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engages to illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights.”
In addition, it says, “Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”
I am a writer, but I have no words.
So essentially – as we ‘ve all suspected of late, if we believe in supporting our own rights, if we believe in freedom – sovereignty of food, and lifestyle, then we are enemies of the state and federal government. I’m not sure what country we live in anymore, but it certainly isn’t one in which we allow ‘freedom to ring.’
Many of our founding fathers were farmers. Many of them spoke of ways to make this country a better place. Upholding basic human rights does not equate to terrorism. Like a stack of pancakes, they’ve flipped the truth over on itself.
The document was obtained from the Air Force, but originated in the Department of Defense Office, which means it is likely used for ‘training’ in other military branches. I do sincerely hope that there are still men and women in midst, like Edward Snowden, who will stand for what is right, and not for rhetoric and blatant propaganda. Don’t let them turn us against each other. That is their plan.

Take for example, the striking similarity to the language of the IRS when it was targeting people in Tea Party investigations.
In my book, we all need to be extremists to overturn a sick, Imperial, bloated government who thinks we are all slaves ready to bow at their feet and kiss and their muddied shoes. No more business as usual.

Freedom’s Requiem

FREEDOM’S REQUIEM

There are many times where I have read articles and insider reports that really indicate that Americans are so unaware of what awaits them. They are also unaware of what they are in the middle of and how the idea of the American illusion is more of a reality now than ever before.
I need to share with you a very important truth right now and this is not something I go into expecting to be debated or challenged and yet I know the true believers will tune out or fill my e-mail bin with their anger over how I twist or exaggerate real world occurrences.
I can assure you that I am being honest when I reveal to you that what is happening now in our country is so absurd and overwhelming that they are even more outrageous than the content of the most dystopic stories that have been provided by imaginative science fiction writers and social science alarmists.
If you are someone who says that they are awake, I think it is time to jack you up with knowledge that will eliminate any chances for you to sleep through the truth ever again.
People who make the bold claim that they are awake or that they are a ‘truther‘ are very active in pointing out that the dystopian New World Order is coming. It is always being forecast in a future tense that someday it will all be obvious.
Some people are more than willing to simplify in their own minds exactly how it all is going to go down. I have heard all kinds of people give me the scenario that sounds like it is taken right out of the pages of another “Red Dawn” remake.
There are of course others that have an idea that it will all be obvious in the sense that we will all be like superficial drones going to work under a fascist dictatorship. We will all be forced to wear gun metal gray jumpsuits like in Fritz Lang’s epic film ‘Metropolis‘, or the many versions of Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four‘ that have graced the big and small screen.
I know that there are others out there that are waiting for the announcement of martial law or that there is some sort of starting gun that will fire indicating that the fascists are here and that they have taken over.
I want to tell you that none of this is going to happen in America.
The reasons I say this is because I want everyone to realize that what you have seen in the movies is nothing like the real, cold edge of tyranny. In fact, you may go through your entire day not even realizing that your freedom is eroding.
Chris Hedges is a journalist that has wiped away the soot and grime from the window that peers into the American illusion.
Hedges has declared openly that a corporate totalitarian fascist state actually feeds on fiction of democracy and freedom. If you are to peel away at the fascist onion that has been grown by the American ruling elite you will find at its core, a totalitarian state that no American would recognize. The reason why they won’t recognize it is because it does not appear as the drab and unlivable conditions that exist in Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four‘.
However, the powers that be have been so clever in disguising their actions and outsourcing their acts of torture and human rights violations.
We want so badly to believe that, as the Olympics are being held in Sochi, that the competition and the hard work is what it is all about. What we don’t want to believe is that we make the athletes vulnerable and victimize them by saying that whatever they do as athletes and goodwill ambassadors is done with the ever constant threat of terrorism.
This terrorism is purely an excuse to ramp up world security. It is a selling point for the surveillance state, for the militarizing of the world, and the use of drones and outsourced torture to secret internment camps and gulags.
I want to emphasize that there are too many Americans that think that we have reached a point where we have outgrown or somehow dodged the bullet of tyranny. We get caught up in the worry of partisan sour grapes when we criticize the administration.
I want to be clear that the entire package must be analyzed and that we need to stop thinking that we have somehow inherited some immunity from being a fascist country whose aims are no longer moral.
I want for you to understand that all of the “image and action” parameters that have been given to us in the movies are misleading and that real tyranny has an invisible package and in order for it to be successful; it needs to be somewhat invisible to the average person.
We can no longer pretend that we are too sophisticated not to fall for it, because we already have fallen for it. Some more than others see it and – even while we know it has arrived – we are powerless to change the course that has been set for our future.
I want you all to know this, the problem that faces us is not the outward face of tyranny. It is the subtle indicators that we overlook time after time. The things we believe don’t apply to us because of religious, or political affiliation. In the totalitarian age, you may think that you are safe because of your skin color, or your religious beliefs or even your political standing.
Wake up now, your delusions are getting in the way of your survival in the New World Order.
We see the obvious indicators that there is a path being laid towards pathocracy however the success of tyranny is not based in the threat of rights being taken away, violence or being imprisoned in FEMA detainment camps.
We have shown that all of these things are no longer being hidden. The biggest obstacle is getting beyond the smiles, waves and shiny medals of those we think are all about preserving America.
Subtlety has been part of the success of tyranny and people ignore it because it is not obvious to them.
The conspiracy of bringing down the United States is not a secret conspiracy but an ‘open conspiracy‘. Tyranny succeeds because the victims become “willing executioners” in the absence of better choices. Those who are not aware of what is happening are literally participating in the success of the tyrannical oligarchy.
The psychopaths that are in charge of the fascist takeover have done so well at marketing to you the pros of adapting without questioning. They hide behind freedom and democracy propaganda and have taken the nod from Aldous Huxley the idea that it is reasonable to understand that the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.
Huxley also said that freedom and democracy would be used to justify the revocation of human rights. This would mean that all people with political ambition in a fascist and tyrannical state would use terms like democracy and freedom in a non-literal sense in order to push tyranny as business as usual.
There have been a number of stories recently that have once again have a hardened my resolve about how the mythos of the Unites States has all but been erased, and that we must realize that we now answer to a new ideology. It is an ideology that we as real Americans should not tolerate.
Documents from an Ohio National Guard training drill conducted last January reveal the details of a mock disaster where Second Amendment supporters with “anti-government” opinions were portrayed as domestic terrorists. A WSAZ Channel 3 news report quoted the local police Chief Bill Raisin in saying that the drill was the “reality of the world we live in.” (Download PDF of documents)
The so-called reality he is speaking of is the mock scenario where, “Two school employees who are disgruntled over the government’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, plot to use chemical, biological and radiological agents against members of the local community.”
Raisin who seems to be a little too credulous says “Don’t forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared.”
I suppose it does, it also breeds the idea that we are vulnerable and that there are crazy people out there – namely constitutionalists – that are hell bent on killing a number of people to make a point about gun control.
Well, I have another dose of reality, most of the gun-toting shooters that we have been hearing about lately have carried out their massacres because they want to demonstrate why we should abolish the Second Amendment, not the other way around.
Police Chief Bill Raisin and the Ohio National Guard need to be schooled in what reality is. They also need an education in how the government is now picking their “targets” for drone strikes. The NSA is picking their targets based on unreliable and bad metadata.
According to a Techdirt article, Michigan representative Mike Rogers has been whining about how the government now has to actually be careful to try to not indiscriminately kill innocent civilians with drones.
Last year, President Obama put in place some weak guidelines for how and when drones could be used to kill people. The guidelines were hollow because the intelligence community resisted them.
Our intelligence community seemed to have this acquired taste for killing people by drone. Before then, there were really no guidelines and drones were used in very questionable circumstances.
Mike Rogers has been infuriated with these guidelines and has stated that restrictions and guidelines on how drones are to be used just makes us all vulnerable and that we will all dies as the result.
How insane do you have to be before someone can fit him with a straight jacket and let him know that he has some very psychopathic ideas as to how justice is to be served?
Once again, it is another example of how warmongers will tell you that if you don’t give them the power they want, then they will see to it that you will be less safe in the future.
Ever wonder why people wonder about inside job terrorism and how it fills a need for power hungry psychopaths like Rogers to get their kill fill? I think that we should keep an eye on crazed maniacal politicians like Rogers who believe in the idea of criminalizing journalism and bloodthirsty endorsements of drone violence.
It is a sick and twisted proposal to merely accept the fact that whatever the government says about data gathered on a drone target, or a human being that happens to be an American citizen, is the absolute truth, when we now know that they are making their decisions based on unreliable metadata.

U.S. might kill American terror suspectReport: Terrorism Suspected In Killing Of 2 American Soldiers

A recent article written by David Kravets in Wired magazine once again demonstrates that, when our government is in error, they will use the threat of terrorism as a reason why they will not release information on unlawful search, seizure and detainment.
The article entitled “How Obama Officials Cried Terrorism to Cover Up a Paperwork Error” illustrates perfectly the need for accountability by all administrations when they decide that American rights are to be suspended for their own witch hunts.

Student fights to get her name off terror watch list

To quote the article: “After seven years of litigation, two trips to a federal appeals court and $3.8 million worth of lawyer time, the public has finally learned why a wheelchair-bound Stanford University scholar was cuffed, detained and denied a flight from San Francisco to Hawaii: FBI human error.
FBI agent Kevin Kelley was investigating Muslims in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 when he checked the wrong box on a terrorism form, erroneously placing Rahinah Ibrahim on the no-fly list.
What happened next was the real shame. Instead of admitting to the error, high-ranking President Barack Obama administration officials spent years covering it up.
Attorney General Eric Holder, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and a litany of other government officials claimed repeatedly that disclosing the reason Ibrahim was detained, or even acknowledging that she’d been placed on a watch list, would cause serious damage to the U.S. national security.
Again and again they asserted the so-called “state secrets privilege” to block the 48-year-old woman’s lawsuit, which sought only to clear her name…
Holder went so far as to tell the judge presiding over the case that this assertion of the state secrets privilege was fully in keeping with Obama’s 2009 executive branch reforms of the privilege, which stated the administration would invoke state secrets sparingly.”
Are we completely numb to the idea that our government now can use terrorism as the all encompassing excuse to be tyrants?
It looks like this is the case.

Dept. of Homeland Security puts witness in "no-fly list" trial on "no-fly"list

It should now be clear and should be labeled as absolute that this country is ruled by wealthy psychopaths who use their positions of power to steer the trajectory of our society towards a lawless and predatory end.

Top Pentagon Leader Ordered Destruction of bin Laden Death Photos

By Judicial Watch

Global Research, February 11, 2014

Judicial Watch 10 February 2014

Region: USA

Theme: Law and Justice

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that on January 31, 2014, it received documents from the Department of Defense (Pentagon) revealing that within hours of its filing a May 13, 2011, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking photos of the deceased Osama bin Laden, U.S. Special Operations Commander, Admiral William McRaven ordered his subordinates to “destroy” any photos they may have had “immediately.” Judicial Watch had filed a FOIA request for the photos 11 days earlier.

The McRaven email, addressed to “Gentlemen,” instructs:
One particular item that I want to emphasize is photos; particularly UBLs remains. At this point – all photos should have been turned over to the CIA; if you still have them destroy them immediately or get them to the [redacted].
According to the Pentagon documents, McRaven sent his email on “Friday, May 13, 2011 5:09 PM.”  The documents do not detail what documents, if any, were destroyed in response to the McRaven directive. The Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit seeking the documents was filed in the United States Court for the District of Columbia only hours earlier. Judicial Watch also announced the filing at a morning press conference.
On May 2, Judicial Watch had filed a FOIA request with the Defense Department seeking “all photographs and/or video recordings of Usama (Osama) Bin Laden taken during and/or after the U.S. military operation in Pakistan on or about May 1, 2011.”  Federal law contains broad prohibitions against the “concealment, removal, or mutilation generally” of government records.
The records containing the McRaven “destroy them immediately” email were produced as a result of a June 7, 2013, FOIA request and a subsequent lawsuit against the Defense Department for records relating to reports of the 2011 McRaven purge directive. McRaven’s order was first mentioned at the end of a 2011 draft reportby the Pentagon’s inspector general (IG) examining whether the Obama administration gave special access to Hollywood executives planning the film “Zero Dark Thirty.” According the draft report, “ADM McRaven also directed that the names and photographs associated with the raid not be released. This effort included purging the combatant command’s system of all records related to the operation and providing these records to another Government Agency.”  The reference to the document purge did not appear in the final IG report.
The move by McRaven to purge the photos appears to have come, at least in part, in response to aggressive efforts by Judicial Watch to obtain images of the deceased bin Laden that President Obama, in a rewrite of federal open records law, had refused to disclose. In addition to its May 2, 2011, FOIA request with the Pentagon Judicial Watch filed an identical request on May 3, 2011, with the CIA. When neither the Defense Department nor the CIA complied with the FOIA requests, Judicial Watch, in June 2011, filed FOIA lawsuits against both agencies.  In the course of the litigation, the Pentagon claimed that it had “no records responsive to plaintiff’s request.”
On April 26, 2012, District Court Judge James Boasberg accepted the Obama DOD and CIA arguments, ruling that the images could remain secret while conceding: “Indeed, it makes sense that the more significant an event is to our nation – and the end of bin Laden’s reign of terror certainly ranks high – the more need the public has for full disclosure.” On May 21, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the District Court decision while conceding that the documents may not have been properly classified. The Supreme Court of the United States subsequently denied Judicial Watch’s petition for a writ of certiorariseeking a review of the issue.
“The McRaven ‘destroy them immediately’ email is a smoking gun, revealing both contempt for the rule of law and the American’s people right to know,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Obama administration has tried to cover this scandal up – and our lawsuit exposed it.  We demand further investigation of the effort to destroy documents about the bin Laden raid.”

Where In The Constitution Does It Say Obama Can Rule By Decree And “Do Whatever He Wants”?

By Michael Snyder, on February 11th, 2014

 

By making “at least a dozen major adjustments” to Obamacare without congressional approval, Barack Obama is making a mockery of the U.S. Constitution.  Throughout human history, political power has always tended to become concentrated in the hands of one man.  The Founding Fathers knew this, and they tried very hard to keep that from happening in the United States.  A system in which the people rule themselves is a very precious and fragile thing.  As humans, we all have the tendency to want more power.  That is why a “separation of powers” was such a radical concept.  As Bill Federer is constantly pointing out, the Founding Fathers made our federal government inefficient on purpose.  They wanted a system of checks and balances that would make it difficult to push through major changes very rapidly.  Unfortunately, Barack Obama has become extremely frustrated by this and has expressed his intention to rule by decree as much as he can during the remainder of his second term.
In our system, the legislature is supposed to make the laws, and the executive branch is supposed to execute them.  But Obama does not seem to care for that arrangement too much.  Just recently, he made the following statement…

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone.”

And during a visit to Monticello on Monday, Obama said the following…

“That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.”

Of course that was probably a joke, but it just reveals what his mindset is.
Obama believes that he has a tremendous amount of power, and he has consistently exhibited a blatant disregard for the U.S. Constitution.
This week, Obama made another major change to the Affordable Care Act without getting congressional approval.  At this point, it has become clear that Obama believes that he can change any law, for any reason, any time that he likes.

The following is what the Wall Street Journal had to say about this most recent lawless act…

‘ObamaCare” is useful shorthand for the Affordable Care Act not least because the law increasingly means whatever President Obama says it does on any given day. His latest lawless rewrite arrived on Monday as the White House decided to delay the law’s employer mandate for another year and in some cases maybe forever.

This latest “modification” directly contradicts the plain language of the law, and if the American people do not object to this it will let Obama (and all other future presidents) know that they truly “can do whatever they want”.
Charles Krauthammer is completely outraged by all of this.  He says that this is the kind of “stuff you do in a banana republic”…

But generally speaking you get past the next election by changing your policies, by announcing new initiatives, but not by wantonly changing the law lawlessly. This is stuff you do in a banana republic. It’s as if the law is simply a blackboard on which Obama writes any number he wants, any delay he wants, and any provision.
It’s now reached a point where it is so endemic that nobody even notices or complains. I think if the complaints had started with the first arbitrary changes — and these are are not adjustments or transitions. These are political decisions to minimize the impact leading up to an election. And it’s changing the law in a way that you are not allowed to do.

And he is right.
For those that have not read it, the U.S. Constitution states that the president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed“.
If Obama wants part of Obamacare to be changed, he must ask Congress to change it.
He cannot change laws all by himself.
As Stanford Law School Professor Michael McConnell stated last year, the Office of Legal Counsel for the Justice Department “has always insisted that the president has no authority, as one such memo put it in 1990, to ‘refuse to enforce a statute he opposes for policy reasons.’”
What in the world is happening to this country?
Meanwhile, those that are objecting to the lawless behavior of the Obama administration are increasingly being portrayed as national security threats.  This is also the kind of thing that we are accustomed to seeing in banana republics.  According to a recent WND article, the Ohio Army National Guard conducted a training drill last year in which the “enemies” were supporters of the 2nd Amendment and had “right-wing beliefs“…

Internal documents from an Ohio Army National Guard training drill conducted in January 2013 describe the details of a mock disaster in which Second Amendment supporters with “anti-government” beliefs were portrayed as domestic terrorists.
The Guard’s 52nd Civil Support Unit and first responders in hazmat suits conducted the training exercise last year in Portmouth, Ohio. In the terror-attack scenario, two Portsmouth Junior High School teachers follow orders from a white-nationalist leader to poison school lunches with mustard gas to advance their “right-wing” beliefs about gun rights.
“It’s the reality of the world we live in,” Portsmouth Police Chief Bill Raisin told WSAZ-TV. “Don’t forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared.”

Sadly, this was far from an isolated incident.  For many more examples, please see my previous article entitled “72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered ‘Potential Terrorists’ In Official Government Documents“.
Whether you support Barack Obama or you are deeply opposed to him, hopefully we can all agree that he needs to follow the law.
Hopefully good sense will prevail and Obama will stop trying to rule by decree.  There is a reason why we have a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances.  One man is not supposed to make all of the decisions.  The members of Congress should be loudly objecting to this massive power grab by Obama.
Please pray for Barack Obama and for Congress.  Up to this point, they have been behaving very foolishly.  Let us pray that they will soon return to following the U.S. Constitution.

NYPD Breaks Child's Leg for Filming, Assaults Mom

NYPD Breaks Child's Leg for Filming, Assaults Mom

Amanda Warren

Activist Post

Cops break a child's leg with a kick to the shin and move on to sexually assault his mother.

One morning, last January, NYPD from the 63rd precinct, showed up at Krystle Silvera's home looking for her ex-boyfriend for violating an order of protection. But protecting is not how they responded to her family.

Her cancer-stricken mother answered the door, confused by what they were asking and why they were there. Silvera's 10-year-old son, Courtney, fascinated by the officers of his own career aspirations, grabbed his mother's cell phone to record the questioning.

That's when the real commotion began.

The cops apparently didn't enjoy being filmed so they kicked Courtney in the shin. Silvera was upstairs getting her young daughter ready for school but flew downstairs when she heard Courtney screaming out:

‘You can’t do that! You’re hurting me! Don’t hit me!’

As soon as she came down to meet the situation, a cop pulled her out of her home into the cold, even though she was dressed in underclothes. While restraining her, her breast came out of her bra revealing a pierced nipple.

Silvera said:

The officer flicked the piercing, he flicked the ring up with his finger on my right breast. He said, ‘Is this what mothers look like these days?

Is that what cops look like these days?

She added:

My neighbors saw me naked. It was degrading. I can deal with the embarrassment of what (the police) did to me in front of my neighbors, but the hardest thing is explaining to my kids that not all police are bad.

She allegedly struggled with the officers when they tried to restrain her, resulting in her getting charged with assault, arrested, and released two days later on $1500. But, why did they pull her from her home to begin with? She is said to have pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. 

But the fiasco didn't end. When she returned, her son was struggling with a black and blue, swollen leg. After he was taken to Kings County Medical Center, X-rays revealed a fractured leg.

The family's lawyer, Anthony Ofodile, said:

I’ve seen a lot of police brutality cases, but nothing as low as this, kicking a 10-year-old boy.

Amazingly, Courtney's aspirations for law enforcement have not been dampened by the experience - it appears his determination has only increased:

I told my mom being a detective would be cool. I want to be a better detective than the one who did this.

In regards to her son, and an officer's behavior with her, she is seeking unspecified amounts in a lawsuit that will focus on civil rights violations. The Internal Affairs Bureau has opened an investigation based on the allegations.

LOOMING DISASTER… 44% Of Employers Likely to Cut Heath Insurance – 43 Million Americans to Lose Coverage

Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, February 7, 2014,

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/02/oncoming-disaster-44-of-employers-likely-to-cut-heath-insurance-43-million-americans-to-lose-coverage/ 

 

Liar.
According to a recent survey, 44% of top companies are considering reducing health benefits due to Obamacare. This follows a previous study that found 43 million Americans will lose their coverage due to Obama care.
The Washington Examiner reported, via Free Republic:

Adding to a devastating CBO report of how Obamacare could damage the economy, a Duke University survey of top companies found that 44 percent are considering reducing health benefits to current employees due to Obamacare, confirming the fears of millions of American workers.
In its December survey of chief financial officers around the country, Duke also found that nearly half are “reluctant to hire full-time employers because of the Affordable Care Act.”
And 40 percent are considering shifting to part-time workers and others will hire fewer workers of fire some to avoid the costs of the program.
What’s more, they said in the study, “One in five firms indicates they are likely to hire fewer employees, and another one in 10 may lay off current employees in response to the law.”
Without the law, the CFOs told Duke that they would hire more full-time workers.
The survey adds to the Congressional Budget Office’s study in raising new questions about the economic impact of Obamacare. Both give Republicans ammunition to continue their efforts to repeal the program that has upset how millions of Americans get health insurance. The survey was initially released in December and re-released Wednesday to provide context to the CBO report.
Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business Professor Campbell R. Harvey said that the school’s survey shows that the economic hit the CBO warned of will be worse.
“Our survey shows that the situation is much more serious because employers tell us that they will choose not to hire and may lay people off,” he said. “I doubt the advocates of this legislation anticipated the negative impact on employment. The impact on the real economy is astonishing. Nearly one-third of firms may either terminate employees or hire fewer people in the future as a direct result of ACA.”

FARMERS ABANDONING GMO SEEDS… NOW WAIT FOR IT: A NEW GOVERNMENT “POLICY” WILL BE PUSHED

Posted on February 11, 2014 by Joseph P. Farrell • Filed Under: Alchemy • http://gizadeathstar.com/2014/02/farmers-abandoning-gmo-seeds-now-wait-new-government-policy-will-pushed/

While we’re on the subject of GMOs once again, there has been another quiet story unfolding, one that you obviously won’t see on Faux News, SeeB.S., SeeNoNews(CNN), and the media network shills for mercantilist America: farmers, it seems, are abandoning GMOs in growing numbers, and the reason is rather interesting:
Farmers Abandoning GMO Seeds and the Reason Will Surprise You
In case you missed it: here’s the core of the reason, or rather, core reasons(Note the plural):

“A growing number of farmers are abandoning genetically modified seeds, but it’s not because they are ideologically opposed to the industry.
“Simply put, they say non-GMO crops are more productive and profitable.
“Modern Farmer magazine discovered that there is a movement among farmers abandoning genetically modified organisms (GMO) because of simple economics.
“’We get the same or better yields, and we save money up front,’ crop consultant and farmer Aaron Bloom said of non-GMO seeds. Bloom has been experimenting with non-GMO seeds for five years and he has discovered that non-GMO is more profitable.
“The re-converts to non-GMO seeds are not hippies but conservative Midwestern farmers who are making a business decision, Modern Farmer discovered. They are switching back to natural seed because it is more profitable — not because of any ideology.”
“Five years ago the [GMO seeds] worked,” said farmer Christ Huegerich, who along with his father planted GMO seeds. “I didn’t have corn rootworm because of the Bt gene, and I used less pesticide. Now, the worms are adjusting, and the weeds are resistant. Mother Nature adapts.”

Now there are a number of hit-the-palm-on-the-forehead-and-exclaim-”Doh!”-Homer-Simpson moments here.
Homer Simpson moment number one: Nature appears to adapt faster than agribusiness corporations can adapt their GMOs, and hence
(Homer Simpson moment number two) while in the short run GMOs appear to increase profits and productivity, in the long run  productivity declines, expenses rise as farmers have to purchase additional pest controls in addition to the already-more-costly GMOs, and hence
(Homer Simpson moment number three) production and profitability decline and hence
(Homer Simpson moment number four) it’s more profitable and productive to plant the non-GMO seeds over the long run.
Or to put it corn-and-country simple:
“The Modern Farmer article, called The Post GMO-Economy, makes an excellent case for farmers dumping GMO. Some of the interesting facts the magazine uncovered include:

• “The cost of growing one acre of non-GMO corn was $680.95, the cost of growing an acre of GMO corn was $761.80 according to Aaron Bloom. That means it costs $80.85 more an acre to raise GMO corn.
• “GMO seeds can cost up to $150 a bag more than regular seeds.
• “The market for non-GMO foods has grown from $1.3 billion in 2011 to $3.1 billion in 2013, partially because some Asian and European countries don’t want GMO seeds.
• “Grain dealer Clarkson Grain pays farmers an extra $2 a bushel for non-GMO soybeans and an additional $1 a bushel for non-GMO corn.
• “The market for non-GMO seed is growing. Sales at Spectrum Seed Solutions, which sells non-GMO seed, have doubled every year for the last four years. Sales at another company that markets non-GMO seeds, eMerge Genetics of West Des Moines, Iowa, have increased by 30 percent a year for five years.
• “Spectrum Seed Solutions president Scott Odle thinks that non-GMO corn could be 20 percent of the market in five years.”

What this means, if you’ve been following the GMO story, is something significant. In our book Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, my co-author Dr Scott D deHart and I reviewed the research of GMO followers such as F. William Engdahl, whose work Seeds of Destruction is a must-have for anyone interested in the issue. Therem Engdahl highlighted the corporate use of a scarcely disguised mercantilist “policy” or “principle” they were calling “substantial equvalence,” a principle based on the “if it looks like corn and tastes like corn it’s corn” and therefore “we don’t need extensive scientific testing of its long-term health effects.”  Thus, the agribusiness giants attempted (successfully as it turns out) to short circuit scientific concerns and to bring their products quickly to market. In the meantime, of course, substantial equivalence flew right out the window when it came to protecting licensing and usage fees for the same products under patent law.
But if Modern Farmer magazine is correct, then the products are not substantially equivalent on the two crucial points of profitability and producivity for the local farmer.
This is probably not the sort of news those shareholders of Mon(ster)santo were hoping to hear.
We can predict the sort of mercantilist response already: agribusiness will lobby for “stricter regulation” of farm products, and that will be code for more regulation imposed on non-GMO products while “substantial equivalence” will continue to be the order of the day for goobernment agencies. Such calls will, of course, be tucked into “farm subsidy bills” (want a subsidy? plant GMOs! don’t ask questions!) and the pockets of corrupt politicians in the large agriculture states will be lined with agribusiness money, and of course, for the recalcitrant, middle-of-the night phone calls and threatened blackmail. (And if you think I’m joking, read Engdahl’s book!)
And that’s the lie of course, of modern corporate America, for it isn’t about markets, it’s about mercantilism and corporate protection from the markets, for the farmers mentioned in the Modern Farmer article have already made the appropriate market-based decision.
