Theme: United Nations

The Syrian Arab Republic, together with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia are among the many co-sponsors of this UN Anti-Nazi Resolution, adopted by a majority vote of 133 by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18, 2014. There were 51 abstentions. Only 4 nations opposed this resolution: the United States, Ukraine, Palau and Canada. Excerpts from the Resolution state:

“1. Reaffirms the relevant provisions of the Durban Declaration and of the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference, in which States condemned the persistence and resurgence of neo-Nazism, neo-Fascism and violent nationalist ideologies based on racial and national prejudice and stated that those phenomena could never be justified in any instance or in any circumstances.
4. Expresses deep concern about the glorification, in any form, of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and former members of the Waffen SS organization, including by erecting monuments and memorials and holding public demonstrations in the name of the glorification of the Nazi past, the Nazi movement and neo-Nazism, as well as by declaring or attempting to declare such members and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition and collaborated with the Nazi movement participants in national liberation movements;
6. Emphasizes the recommendation of the Special Rapporteur that ‘any commemorative celebration of the Nazi regime, its allies and related organizations, whether official or unofficial, should be prohibited by States, and stresses in this regard that it is important that States take measures, in accordance with international human rights law, to counteract any celebration of the Nazi SS organization and all its integral parts, including the Waffen SS.
7. Expresses concern about recurring attempts to desecrate or demolish monuments erected in remembrance of those who fought against Nazism during the Second World War, as well as to unlawfully exhume or remove the remains of such persons, and in this regard urges States to fully comply with their relevant obligations, inter alia, under article 34 of the Additional Protocol 1 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949;
11. Welcomes the call of the Special Rapporteur for the active preservation of those Holocaust sites that served as Nazi death camps, concentration and forced labour camps and prisons, as well as his encouragement of States to take measures, including legislative, law enforcement and educational measures, to put an end to all forms of Holocaust denial.”

PRIOR U.S. ACCOMMODATION WITH NAZISM;
On October 27, 2014, the front page of The New York Times reported: “In Cold War, U.S. spy Agencies used 1,000 nazis.” What the headline fails to say is that the U.S. employed and protected men whom they knew were among the most barbaric nazi war criminals. “When the Justice Department was preparing in 1994 to prosecute a senior Nazi collaborator in Boston, named Aleksandre Lileikis, the CIA tried to intervene. The agency’s own files linked Mr. Lileikis to the machine-gun massacres of 60,000 Jews in Lithuania. He worked ‘under the control of the Gestapo during the war,’ his CIA file noted… U.S. agencies directly or indirectly hired numerous ex-nazi police officials and East European collaborators who were manifestly guilty of war crimes”

“In 1968 FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover authorized the FBI to wiretap a left-wing journalist who wrote critical stories about Nazis in America, internal records show. Mr. Hoover declared the journalist, Charles Allen, ‘a potential threat to national security.’ In Maryland, army officials trained several Nazi officers in paramilitary warfare for a possible invasion of Russia. In all, the American military, the CIA, the FBI and other agencies used at least 1,000 ex-nazis and collaborators as spies and informants after the war, according to Richard Breitman, a Holocaust scholar at American University who was on a government-appointed team that de-classified war-crime records.”

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt hated the Nazis, and to provide assistance to the anti-nazi struggle in Europe, he often had to circumvent highly placed pro-nazi and anti-semitic State Department officials, who not too covertly wanted Hitler to win World War II and destroy Soviet communism. Roosevelt’s great skill succeeded in arranging for U.S. Lend-Lease policies to aid the anti-nazi struggles of the Soviet Union and Great Britain, and it was his original, fierce determination to put on trial for treason the major U.S. corporations which he knew were engaging in business with the Nazis throughout World War II.
FDR died early in his fourth term as President, and subsequent U.S. Presidents did not suffer such anguish colluding with Nazis or nazi collaborators throughout the entire Cold War, as this October 27, 2014 New York Times article reports. Indeed, today, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs very recently supervised and micromanaged the destabilization and overthrow of Ukraine’s anti-nazi President, Viktor Yanukovich, and installed a new Ukranian government permeated with neo-nazis and nazi sympathizers.
In one of his first official acts, Ukraine’s new U.S. puppet President Poroshenko made October 14 the Ukranian National Day of Celebration commemorating the day in 1943 that Stepan Bandera’s nazi army was established. During World War II, Bandera’s OUN prepared two assassination attempts against United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a fact ignored by both Poroshenko and his U.S. supporters. Poroshenko’s shameful action is a desecration of the memory of the more than 300,000 heroic Ukranians murdered by the Nazis during the second battle of Kharkov, in May 1942, a battle which, though ending in defeat for the anti-nazi Ukranians, succeeded in slowing and weakening the invading nazi army, thereby contributing, ultimately, to the great Soviet victory at Stalingrad, the turning point in World War II.
There were 51 abstentions voted on Resolution 69/160, largely, and alarmingly, by European countries which had been ravaged by the nazi slaughter during World War II. These abstentions (however they were parsed in “explanation of vote”) suggest that Nazism is no longer abhorrent in parts of these countries, whether as a result of failure of historic memory, particularly in the younger generation, or more likely as a result of the current economic crisis, exacerbated by the noxious austerity measures being imposed upon most countries of the European Union, policies decimating the standard of living throughout Europe and leaving these destitute citizens prey to resurgent nazi propaganda today, as were the 25 million starving Germans in 1923.
Although throughout the past decade, the United States had consistently opposed the anti-nazi resolution, this year, Ukraine, though previously abstaining, for the first time actually opposed the anti-nazi resolution, an ominous development, as on December 14, 2014 the U.S. Congress approved sending lethal weapons to Kiev, including anti-tank weapons, ammunition and troop-operated surveillance drones, anti-mortar radar systems, etc. as part of $350 million worth of weapons, raising the terrifying spectre that the U.S. is actually militarily supporting a pro-nazi resurgence in Ukraine.
THE ASSAULT ON TRUTH: THE “PRAGUE DECLARATION”
In its explananation of vote, Ukraine “condemned Hitler and Stalin alike as international criminals.” This despicable allegation of a false equivalence, which has no basis in reality, is tantamount to Holocaust denial. It is based upon the ideological “normalization” of Nazism in one of the most dangerous and pernicious doctrines now being promulgated throughout Europe, the “Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism,” a doctrine of intellectual cowardice and moral depravity, falsifying reality and historic fact. It attempts to obscure the historically unique horrors and atrocities of Nazism by subsuming them in the general category of “totalitarian,” thereby erasing the racist and genocidal character of the nazi scourge. This is the beginning of the effort at “normalization” and ultimately the legitimization of nazism. This cancerous assault on truth, contaminating European thought since the collapse of the Soviet Union, is a new propaganda weapon for the intellectually feeble, which calls for: “adjustment and overhaul of European history textbooks so that children could learn and be warned about Communism and its crimes in the same way as they have been taught to assess the Nazi crimes.”
Among the supporters of the Prague Declaration are Margaret Thatcher and Zbigniew Brzezinski.
The Prague Declaration is refuted, intellectually, historically and morally by many of the most illustrious scholars, historians and members of the European Parliament, notably in:
THE SEVENTY YEARS DECLARATION 0f 20 January 2013, signed by more than 80 of the most distinguished members of the European Parliament from countries throughout Europe, and which states:

“On the Anniversary of the Final Solution conference at Wannsee,”

“Remember:

“The horror and brutality of the genocidal campaign of total annihilation of European Jewry conducted by the Nazis and their collaborators

That the mass killing of European Jewry preceded that formal adoption of the Final Solution plan by half a year, and began on the Eastern Front in 1941 upon the initiation of Operation Barbarossa and the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union,

That millions of non-Jews suffered in numerous ways under the Nazis…

“Recognize:

The Nazi campaign of annihilation of the Jewish people was philosophically, qualitatively and practically profoundly distinct and different to other forms of oppression

“Reject:

Attempts to obfuscate the Holocaust by diminishing its uniqueness and deeming it to be equal, similar or equivalent to Communism as suggested by the 2008 Prague Declaration,

Attempts to have European history school books rewritten to reflect the notion of ‘Double Genocide’ (‘equality’ or ‘sameness’ of nazism and communism)

As unacceptable the glorification of nazi allies and of Holocaust perpetrators and collaborators, including the Waffen SS in Estonia and Latvia and the Lithuanian Activist Front in Lithuania

Attempts to legalise or sanitize the public display of the swastika by racist and fascist groups.”

Among the great parliamentarians supporting the Seventy Years Declaration is the brilliant Lithuanian statesman, Justas Paleckis, whose own son was brutally persecuted by the current Lithuanian government for questioning Lithuanian government dogma, much as Galileo was persecuted for questioning the false dogma of the Catholic Church

Numerous other distinguished European intellectuals respond with repugnance to the intellectual vulgarity of the Prague Doctrine. The Declaration on Unequal Regimes: Contra Prague, June 22, 2010 states:

“We Disassociate From and Reject:

1. The language of the Prague Declaration that promotes the ‘Double Genocide’ model and Holocaust Obfuscation, by calls inter alia to: ‘recognize Communism and Nazism as a common legacy, proclaim substantial similarities between Nazism and Communism,

6. Unacceptable expenditure of state (and EU) treasure and political capital on the revision of history in an effort to obfuscate and minimize the Holocaust, legally and mechanically equating it with other crimes, inter alia by the capricious and ad-hoc redefinition and semantic inflation of the notion of ‘genocide.’”

On October, 2009, the UK Chair of the All-Party Group against Antisemitism, John Mann, MP, described the Prague Declaration as “a sinister document,”; Lithuanian politician Leonidas Donskis states: “The Holocaust should not be equated with other tragedies.” Efraim Zuroff, of the Simon Wiesenthal Center describes the Prague Declaration as “the main manifesto of the false equivalency movement,” stating it is supported by right-wing parties in countries in Eastern Europe.

“UK parliamentarian Denis Macshane MP ‘delivered a letter to the Lithuanian ambassador in London, signed by Lord Janner of Braunstone QC and academics opposed to the Prague Declaration, accusing the Lithuanian government of using ‘embassy-sponsored events’ to manipulate the debate: ‘We find these events consistent with Lithuania’s nationalistic rewriting of history, and with its efforts to limit the freedom of debate on “Double Genocide” and the Prague Declaration.’”

NAZISM
Nazism is explicitly both racist and genocidal. Governments may be totalitarian without being racist, nor genocidal. Any attempt to equate the two, or describe Nazism as merely totalitarian, is a fatal attack on truth and history. In one of the great documents following World War II, “The Plot Against the Peace,” by Michael Sayers and Albert Kahn, the unique character of Nazism is described: “It was against the Slav peoples, the traditional enemy of Pan-Germanism, that the policy of genocide was most extensively applied. ‘It will be one of the chief tasks of German statesmanship,’ Hitler had told Hermann Rauschning, ‘for all time to prevent, by every means in our power, the further increase of the Slav races. Natural instincts bid all living beings not merely conquest their enemies, but also destroy them. In former days, it was the victor’s prerogative to destroy entire tribes, entire peoples.”

“Following the liberation of Lublin in the summer of 1944, a group of some thirty foreign correspondents visited the Maidenak Death Camp. Among the correspondents was the American newspaperman, W. H. Lawrence. On August 27, 1944, Lawrence sent a dispatch to the New York Times which opened with these words: “I have just seen the most terrible place on the face of the earth – the German concentration camp at Maidenak, which was a veritable River Rouge for the production of death, in which it is estimated that nearly 1,500,000 persons from nearly every country in Europe were killed in the last three years..This is a place that must be seen to be believed…’”
“Here there were thousands of war prisoners….who died at a terrible rate from hunger and disease. Here there were fields where thousands and tens of thousands of persons were burned on funeral pyres…Here there were types of ‘murder vans’ as well as solidly built casements where victims were asphyxiated by ‘cyclone gas.’ Here bodies were burned in the most primitive method of ancient India; a row of logs and a row of corpses, then another row of logs and another row of corpses, but also in simply constructed furnaces like giant cauldrons, as well as in perfected furnaces for blitz cremation. Here people were shot in ditches or killed with a blow of an iron rod which broke their necks. Here people were drowned in artificial ponds or hanged on gallows of different types, from a simple gibbet with a crossbar to an up-to-date portable scaffold furnished with pulleys and a flywheel. This was a regular death factory where the size of the daily slaughterings were regulated by two factors; by the number of people entering the camp and by the amount of labor needed for the never-ending construction work.” (Sayers and Kahn).
“The enslavement of millions of men, women and children was only one aspect of the Pan-German plan which the German General Staff methodically followed in its European conquests. The General Staff employed a wide variety of measures aimed at the ultimate subjugation of some 500,000,000 people in Europe and Soviet Russia by some 80,000,000 German rulers…. Immediately after the invasion of the Soviet Union, the German High Command arranged in their military schools and institutions special courses of lectures emphasizing the necessity of exterminating masses of the Russian people.” “The testimony of both Soviet and French war prisoners, who were victims and witnesses to the nazi barbarities in the Yanovska concentration camp in Lvov, describing nazi crimes: “In this camp war prisoners were exterminated without any pretext, often for a bet. Wepke, a Gestapo Kommissar, boasted to other camp executioners that he would cut a boy into two parts with one blow of a hatchet. They did not believe him, so he caught a ten-year old boy in the street, forced him to his knees, made him put his palms together and hide his face in them, made a trial stroke, adjusted the boy’s head and with a single blow of the hatched slashed the boy in two. The Hitlerites congratulated Wemke warmly and shook him by the hand.. Children were used by the Nazis as living targets.”

The “Holodomor,” a famine that occurred in 1932, is currently cited by right-wing Ukranians as evidence that Stalin was trying to exterminate them, and they call this a “man-made” famine. They forget that 1932 was one of the worst years of the great depression, with starvation rampant throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia. In the United States, President Hoover slaughtered a massive number of starving American veterans camped in Washington, attempting to get the “Bonus” they were promised in payment for their military service. The shacks they were living in were incinerated, and Generals such as MacArthur and Eisenhower were involved in the eviction and extermination of these impoverished veterans. This global famine was also “man-made.” It was the great crisis of capitalism. And there were capitalists who made fortunes out of that crisis.
In “explanation of vote,” the United States representative states she is “concerned about the overt political motives that had driven the main sponsor of the current resolution. That government had employed those phrases in the current crisis in Ukraine.” Nowhere in this resolution was Ukraine mentioned or singled out. This was not a country-specific resolution. In previous years the U.S. delegation cited “freedom of speech” as their reason for opposing the resolution. Whatever their reasons, and however contorted the “reasoning,” the U.S. continues to condone the resurgence of Nazism. And it cannot be ignored that among the co-sponsors of the Anti-Nazi resolution is the Government of Syria.

The Shoot First Mentality of American Police  ~ what do u do when the Law ..becomes the Lawless ...folks, Our Forefathers knew what 2 do !!!

Strategic Culture
by Paul Craig Roberts

Few, if any, of the correct questions were asked in the grand jury hearing to decide whether policeman Darren Wilson would be indicted for killing Michael Brown.

The most important unexamined question is whether police are trained to use force immediately as a first resort before they assess a situation or determine if they are at the correct address.  Are the police trained that the lives of police officers are so much more valuable than the lives of possible suspects, or a houseful of people into whose residence a heavily armed SWAT team enters, that police officers must not accept the risk of judicious behavior when encountering citizens?  If this is the case as all evidence indicates that it is, then the police when they gratuitously murder members of the public are merely doing what they have been trained to do.  As police are trained to use violence as a first resort, the police cannot be held accountable when they do.

There are a large number of videos available online that show that the first thing that police do when they arrive is to use force.

No sooner is Michael Brown in the grave than Cleveland cops kill a 12-year old boy who has a toy gun that shoots plastic pellets.  The child is threatening no one–indeed there is no one else present.  The boy seems to be playing a fantasy game in his head.  A busy body calls the police. The police arrive and instantly shoot the kid down.

Here is a selection of videos and reports.  Some of the videos are compressed to save the viewer time.  They range from 59 seconds to the full 7:51 minute video, which shows the kid is just walking up and down the sidewalk.  All the action comes at the end. The police arrive and instantly open fire, making no effort whatsoever to assess the situation.

Just a few days before Michael Brown is killed, Ohio police murdered John Crawford inside a Walmart store.  What had Crawford done?  He had picked up a BB rifle from a Walmart shelf and was on the phone with the mother of his two children, perhaps checking with her whether he could purchase it for the kids.  A busy body named Ronald Ritchie felt threatened and called the police. The police rush in and shoot Crawford.  The police claim that they ordered Crawford to drop the rifle, but the video shows  the police shooting Crawford on sight. The busy body Ritchie actually caused two deaths, as the incident of Crawford’s murder caused Angela Williams to die from a heart attack as she fled the store in response to the police gunfire.

Yes, you guessed it. The grand jury decided the police were justified.

Here is another video that demonstrates that policemen shoot instantly without cause.  This is a rare case in which the policeman was held accountable, most likely because the video prevented authorities from fabricating the usual story of police justification.

In this video, police shoot down an unarmed black man in the street.  After shooting Kajieme Powell ten times, the cops hold guns on the dead body while they handcuff a dead man.  Like an almost endless number of other such videos, this one shows that either psychopaths are recruited for the police force, or police training turns cops into psychopaths.

These two reports examine Officer Darren Wilson’s story of why he shot Michael Brown and conclude that Wilson’s story doesn’t make sense. http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7281165/darren-wilsons-story-side  and  http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7287443/dorian-johnson-story   Most likely, Michael Brown was just another victim of the gratuitous violence that police are trained to use.  Darren Wilson’s use of deadly force was in keeping with his training.

The problem with the grand jury and prosecutor in Ferguson and everywhere else is that the real problem–the training of police to use deadly force as a first resort–was not identified as the cause of Michael Brown’s death.

The Ferguson grand jury’s decision is not an exoneration of Wilson’s use of deadly force. Anyone familiar with the American criminal justice (sic) system knows that any prosecutor can get or prevent an indictment from a grand jury.  Prosecutors are allowed to determine what evidence is presented. Prosecutors are permitted to bribe witnesses with money or dropped charges, and they can coerce false witness testimony by threatening a witness with charges.  Seldom does an indictment or refusal to indict turn on the true facts.

The US justice system is no longer concerned with justice, but with the careers of prosecutors, punishing the powerless, and protecting the powerful.  As justice has largely departed the justice system, it is hardly surprising that police lack any concept of justice.

You'd may be surprised at the dozens of pieces of data that some of the most popular apps are collecting about you every day  

 

~ It’s no secret that Facebook can track pretty much every detail about your personal life.   & don't fer~geet 2 fill in yer "controller file"  today boys & girls (fb)  Lol   er errr um yer "dossier"  er err ah um yer fb page ...it's 4 the kids u  ...c ?

It’s no secret that Facebook can track pretty much every detail about your personal life. But did you know that Happy Fish—a popular kids game based on the Android operating system—might be a worse privacy offender?
Happy Fish’s developer, HappyElements, programmed the game so that it can collect a trove of information about you (and your kids) through the app. The game knows your precise location, has access to your photos and can read your text messages. It can even tell which Wi-Fi network you’re using.
We’ll get to why the game does this in a minute—and what it does and doesn’t do with that information—but let’s just pause for a second.
This is a bit creepy, right?
Plenty of people think so. Just check out some of the reviews on hit games. Fruit Ninja, for instance, consistently weirds people out with the personal data it asks them to fork over. The permissions “are crazy,” writes one reviewer. “I will never install this until it is clear as to why the developer needs access to all your private content.”

Of the apps in our chart, these -- Viber, Skype, WhatsApp and GO Launcher EX (clockwise from top left) -- ask for the most permissions.

We reached out to Jason Hong, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon and founder of PrivacyGrade.org, a site that ranks apps by how well they respect your personal privacy. Hong is a leading researcher on app security. So we asked him: What do the most downloaded apps know about us, and what do they do with that information?
Hong helped us run an analysis of these apps– and you can see the results in the chart below. We chose to focus on Android apps for a couple of reasons. First, there are about a billion Android users, which gives them about 62 percent of the smartphone market, compared with Apple’s 33 percent. Second, Android, unlike Apple, makes it easy to run a robot to retrieve the permission data easily. But our findings are relevant for any mobile phone user—it’s a barometer of what app makers think they can get away with.

As you’ll see from our chart, running down the left side, we’ve listed 25 of some of the most popular apps in the Google Play store, including Skype, Facebook and WhatsApp. There are actually about 60 permissions that these apps can ask for—everything from making your phone vibrate to accessing your camera. (You can find a full list of all the potential permissions here.) For practical reasons, we asked Hong to highlight four permissions that he thought were potentially the most alarming. Across the top, we list those four: contacts, text messages, call log and microphone. All of these are pretty straightforward, but the microphone permission is especially eerie. Imagine all the audio around you being recorded by some app, without your knowledge.
To be clear, these apps don’t actually activate your microphone until you tell them to (e.g. you make a phone call on the Skype app), but in the future, that may change. Facebook freaked out users in May when it announced a new (optional) feature that would let the microphone listen in on your conversations. 
Our chart ranks the apps (top to bottom) that ask for the most permissions. As you can see, AntiVirus Security, Viber and Facebook top the charts in terms of the number of permissions they request. But it’s not at all uncommon for apps to request the four pieces of personal data that we’re hightlighting. In fact, more than half of the 25 apps have access to your contacts, and about a third tap into your text messages, call log and microphone.

If you’re an Android user, this might make you a little uncomfortable. Most people probably don’t even pay attention to the permissions page that pops up before they download an app. It definitely asks you to accept the list of permissions the app is requesting, but it all happens extremely fast. It’s like checking the box on a “terms and conditions” page—easy and forgettable. Most people also probably don’t know that once they’ve download the app, the app will never again ask for permission for anything it’s accessing.
Of course, Happy Fish isn’t the only app that tracks loads of information about you. Hit games like Despicable Me and Drag Racing flunked Hong’s privacy tests. (Privacy Grade’s scoring is based on a model that measures the “gap between people’s expectations of an app’s behavior and the app’s actual behavior.” In other words, you expect Google maps to have access to your location data—but you don’t expect the same of a flashlight app.)
In fairness, it’s not like most app makers are creepily scanning through your address books and looking for nude photos in your camera roll. There are a few reasons why these apps ask for your personal data.
In some cases, they need it to provide you with certain functions of the app. The simplest example is a map app that asks for your location data—without it, the app isn’t really all that helpful. Same with a Skype app asking for access to make phone calls. Some permissions are a bit more nuanced, but there’s still a clear potential utility for the user. For instance, The Weather Channel app requires access to your device and Wi-Fi settings. Sounds creepy, but they do it in case they want to send your phone a severe weather warning.
But the second reason has nothing to do with pleasing you—it’s about serving up your information to advertisers. “These advertisers are trying to get more targeted information about you, so they can get more targeted ads,” Hong says. For instance, health and wellness apps send your fitness routines and menstrual cycles to advertisers. Foursquare, the check-in app, sells your GPS data so stores know where you’re shopping.
The last reason is the most irritating– and to some people’s minds, worrisome: The developers ask for access to your information simply because they can, and no one is there to tell them to stop. “Most developers aren’t evil,” Hong says, “but they often don’t know what to do with respect to privacy and security.” So they collect reams of data on users without any immediate purpose in mind.
After some high-profile stories about apps that spy on you (not to mention NSA surveillance), the Federal Trade Commission stepped in to offer guidelines to developers. But those guidelines are often ignored—or openly flouted. Over the last year or so, the FTC has made a sport out of cracking down on app makers who get a little too frisky with the types of data they collect.
In 2013, Path, the social networking site, was fined $800,000 for deceiving users by collecting phone numbers from its address book. In September, review site Yelp forked over $450,000 for collecting location data about its underage users. And just last week, the FTC sent a warning to a children’s app maker for a similar transgression: collecting precise location data about its users, many of whom are minors.
There’s probably not much that users can do about all this, short of shutting off their Android phone, storing it in a locked closet and going for a walk outside. But just like apps are getting to know you better, you may want to get to know them a little better, too.

Published: 04:49 EST, 31 December 2014 | Updated: 14:31 EST, 31 December 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2870199/The-biggest-threat-humanity-INTERNET-Experts-raise-concerns-web-s-potential-incite-violence-bring-governments-wipe-out.html

The web has democratised information and learning, brought families and loved ones together as well as helped businesses connect and compete in a global economy.

But the internet has a dark side - it hosts underhand dealings, has its very own criminal underbelly, not to mention a rising ‘mob’ culture.

The threat such technological advances pose to society is so serious, there is now a team of Cambridge researchers studying the existential risks.

The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) project has been set up in Cambridge to monitor artificial intelligence and technological advances. The web was cited as a catalyst in the Egyptian coup in 2011, for example, while global cyber attacks have the potential to bring down governments

The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) project was co-founded by Cambridge philosophy professor Huw Price, cosmology and astrophysics professor Martin Rees and Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn in 2012.

Its mission is to study threats posed by technological advances, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, nanotechnology and climate change.

‘Modern science is well-acquainted with the idea of natural risks, such as asteroid impacts or extreme volcanic events, that might threaten our species as a whole,’ explained Mr Price.

‘It is also a familiar idea that we ourselves may threaten our own existence, as a consequence of our technology and science.

HOW THE INTERNET COULD THREATEN LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

1. Political uprising: The web has been cited as a catalyst for recent government coups and it has the potential to lead to uprisings around the globe.

2. Cyber attacks: Attacks on the infrastructure of governments and global businesses could bring chaos to countries and economies. This in turn could lead to poverty and famine.

3. Control and propaganda: Researchers from the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) claim that the capabilities of advanced technology place control in ‘dangerously few human hands'.

If governments, or even criminals, wanted to, they could control their citizens by restricting information. 

4. Dark web: Criminals and terrorists operate on the so-called Deep Web, and this could lead to global wars, spread of terrorism and crime, and could culminate in World War III.

5. Artificial Intelligence: The rise of the web and internet capabilities has also made the prospect of Artificial Intelligence much more prominent.

'Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history,’ Professor Stephen Hawking said earlier this year. 

‘Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.’

‘Such home-grown “existential risk” - the threat of global nuclear war, and of possible extreme effects of anthropogenic climate change - has been with us for several decades.

‘However, it is a comparatively new idea that developing technologies might lead - perhaps accidentally, and perhaps very rapidly, once a certain point is reached - to direct, extinction-level threats to our species.’

The researchers’ explain that the capabilities of advanced technology place control in ‘dangerously few human hands'. 

During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, many people took to Facebook and Twitter to spread the word and discuss the coup.

A number of people were reportedly ‘recruited’ to join the movement online.

The president was then removed by a coalition, led by the Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

In October 2010, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that activism has changed with the introduction of social media, because it is now easier for the powerless to ‘collaborate, coordinate and give voice to their concerns.’

And although the internet didn’t directly bring down the country’s government, it was cited as being a major contributor and catalyst for the action.

If this was seen on a global scale, it has the potential to bring down governments, infrastructure and challenge life as we know it, continued the CESR.

Online cyber attacks could also put global infrastructure under threat.

The costs associated with cyber attacks are increasing as the volume of data stolen rises, and the attacks themselves become more destructive.

Businesses that suffer a cyber attack have increased costs.

During the 2011 Egyptian revolution (pictured), many people took to Facebook and Twitter to spread the word and discuss the coup. A number of people were reportedly ‘recruited’ to join the movement online. If this was seen on a global scale, it has the potential to bring down governments and challenge life as we know it

Online cyber attacks (illustrated) could also put global infrastructure under threat. The costs associated with cyber attacks are increasing as the volume of data stolen rises, and the attacks themselves become more destructive. Businesses that suffer a cyber attack have increased costs

This could have a major impact on global economies, food supplies and energy companies - creating widespread poverty, food shortages, poor health and an increase in crime. 

Joe Hancock, Cyber Security Specialist at AEGIS London said: ‘These attacks are now increasingly destructive as we have seen with the recent attack on Sony Entertainment.

'This trend is going to continue, with affected businesses squeezed between a shrinking top-line and rising costs.

'In 2015 we fully expect a business to fail due to the financial consequences of a cyber attack.’

Mr Hancock continued that cyber attacks are the 'new normal' and it is no longer enough to say 'it won’t affect us', 'it wasn’t patchable' or that an attack just wasn’t detected. 

The wider cyber security community is also concerned about attacks that may cause real-world impacts on health, safety and the environment, possibly linked to cyber terrorism or on-going conflicts.

GCHQ TECH EXPERTS JOIN POLICE TO SCOUR DARK NET FOR CRIMINALS

A specialist unit is being set up by the British government to hunt down paedophiles who are using a hidden part of the internet known as the 'dark net' to share child pornography.

The National Crime Agency and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) will use the latest technology to crackdown on users of the so called dark net, or deep web.

Prime minister David Cameron said the new unit is aimed at 'shining a light on the web’s darkest corners' as he announced a package of measures to tackle online child abuse.

He said it had become necessary to target the dark net as paedophiles were increasingly using it to communicate with each other and to disguise their identities.

The new unit will use new advances of analysing images and communications to trace the 'digital footprints' left by the users who share them.

Mr Cameron said: 'The so-called "dark-net" is increasingly used by paedophiles to view sickening images.

'I want them to hear loud and clear, we are shining a light on the web’s darkest corners; if you are thinking of offending there will be nowhere for you to hide.

'Every time someone chooses to view an online image or a video of a child being abused, they are choosing to participate in a horrific crime.'

The new unit is intended to focus on the most prolific users of the dark net to begin with.

Figures compiled by the National Crime Agency suggest that use of the dark net rose by two thirds in 2012.

Cyber attacks perpetrated by groups linked with areas of geopolitical tension, such as the former USSR or contested regions, including the South China Sea, may mean organisations will be caught-up in the fallout of hybrid warfare - facing both physical and cyber attacks.

In the extreme, the web could lead to a third world war, and this could ultimately threaten our existence. 

Elsewhere, The Worldwatch Institute’s State of the World 2014 report, recently discussed how the web and digitisation not only play a role on politics and governance, but that it can be used to ‘legislate’ behaviour more than laws can.

‘Consider the controversy caused in late 2013 by a poorly functioning website created to help citizens sign up for health insurance in the US,’ explained the report.

‘Despite the available of other means of accessing the new insurance program (telephone, post and government offices), the website mentioned only the online option on its home page.’

This meant that information was withheld, whether accidentally or on purpose, from citizens about something that was fundamental to themselves, and policy reform.

Tesla found Elon Musk took to Twitter earlier this year (pictured) to warn against the development of intelligent machines. He seems to have been influenced by a book that argues humans are living in a simulation and not the ‘real’ world

Mr Musk also previously claimed that a horrific ‘Terminator-like’ scenario could be created from research into artificial intelligence. He is so worried, he is investing in AI companies, not to make money, but to keep an eye on the technology in case it gets out of hand.  A still of the Terminator is pictured

It inadvertently forced people to behave a certain way, and this power was in the hands of the people who controlled the website and the media.

‘A technological mind-set ‘legislates’ behaviour by constraining virtually everyone’s consideration of the tools available for accomplishing an important task to the most ‘sophisticated’ of them, even when the tool is not working.

‘Laws rarely exact such compliance.’

THE DEEP WEB: WHAT IS TOR?

Tor - short for The Onion Router - is a matrix of encrypted websites that lets users surf beneath the everyday internet anonymously.

It uses numerous layers of security and encryption to render users anonymous online.

Normally, file sharing and internet browsing activity can be tracked by law enforcement through each user's unique IP address that can be traced back to an individual computer.

The Tor network on the Deep Web hides the IP address and the activity of the user.

Most of the web's information is buried far down on dynamically generated sites, unable to be found or seen by traditional search engines - sites or pages don't exist until created as the result of a specific search.

An internet search is like dragging a net across the surface of the sea - a great deal of information is caught, but a majority is deep and therefore missed.

The part of the internet the public are able to access and view makes up only about 20 per cent of the total web.

The rest is what is known as the ‘dark side’ that accounts for some 80 per cent of the internet.

Also known as the Deep Web, it has existed for more than a decade but came under the spotlight in 2013 after police shutdown the Silk Road website - the online marketplace dubbed the 'eBay of drugs' - and arrested its creator.

But experts warn this has done next to nothing to stem the rising tide of such illicit online exchanges, which are already jostling to fill the gap now left in this unregulated virtual world.

This ‘dark side’, sometimes known as Silk Road 2, is accessed via the Tor browser and allows anonymous access into sites.

It can be a platform for freedom of information and flow of data, particularly for suppressed individuals in politically unstable countries but, equally, has been hijacked by terrorist organisations and other illegal operations such as paedophiles, gun runners and drug lords.

Earlier this month, the government announced plans to work with law enforcement agencies under the new government initiative to crack down on illegal and inappropriate activity on these sites.

The National Crime Agency and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) will use the latest technology to crackdown on users of the so called dark net, or deep web. 

This ‘dark side’ has the potential to organise groups, bring down business and governments and cause havoc.

The rise of the web and internet capabilities has also made the prospect of Artificial Intelligence much more prominent.

This is one topic that the Cambridge risk centre is going to be looking at specifically, but is also being monitored by the likes of Tesla boss Elon Musk. 

‘The field of artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly along a range of fronts,’ continued CESR's Mr Price.

‘Recent years have seen dramatic improvements in AI applications like image and speech recognition, autonomous robotics, and game playing; these applications have been driven in turn by advances in areas such as neural networks, search, and the scaling of existing techniques to modern computers and clusters.

Professor Stephen Hawking has previously warned that artificial intelligence has the potential to be the downfall of mankind. 'Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history,' he said writing earlier this year. 'Unfortunately, it might also be the last'

Space X Founder Elon Musk: AI is our 'biggest existential threat'

‘While the field promises tremendous benefits, a growing body of experts within and outside the field of AI has raised concerns that future developments may represent a major technological risk.

A long-held goal has been the development of human-level general problem-solving ability.

While this has yet to be achieved, many researchers believe it could happen within the next 50 years.

‘As AI algorithms become both more powerful and more general - able to function in a wider variety of ways in different environments - their potential benefits and their potential for harm will increase rapidly,' continued Mr Price.

GOOGLE SETS UP AI ETHICS BOARD TO CURB THE RISE OF THE ROBOTS

Google has set up an ethics board to oversee its work in artificial intelligence.

The search giant has recently bought several robotics companies, along with Deep Mind, a British firm creating software that tries to help computers think like humans.

One of its founders warned artificial intelligence is 'number one risk for this century,' and believes it could play a part in human extinction

'Eventually, I think human extinction will probably occur, and technology will likely play a part in this,' DeepMind’s Shane Legg said in a recent interview.

Among all forms of technology that could wipe out the human species, he singled out artificial intelligence, or AI, as the 'number 1 risk for this century.'

The ethics board, revealed by web site The Information, is to ensure the projects are not abused.

Neuroscientist Demis Hassabis, 37, founded DeepMind two years ago with the aim of trying to help computers think like humans.

‘Even very simple algorithms, such as those implicated in the 2010 financial flash crash, demonstrate the difficulty in designing safe goals and controls for AI; goals and controls that prevent unexpected catastrophic behaviours and interactions from occurring.’

‘With the level of power, autonomy, and generality of AI expected to increase in coming years and decades, forward planning and research to avoid unexpected catastrophic consequences is essential.’

This view has been echoed by Mr Musk and Professor Stephen Hawking.

'Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history,’ Professor Hawking said earlier this year. 

‘Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.’

In the short and medium-term, militaries throughout the world are working to develop autonomous weapon systems, with the UN simultaneously working to ban them.

‘Looking further ahead, there are no fundamental limits to what can be achieved,’ said Professor Hawking.

‘There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.’

Mr Musk is equally concerned.

He said: ‘I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that. So we need to be very careful with artificial intelligence.

‘I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish. 

‘With artificial intelligence we’re summoning the demon. You know those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram, and the holy water, and...he’s sure he can control the demon? Doesn’t work out.’

In August, he warned that AI could to do more harm than nuclear weapons.

Tweeting a recommendation for a book by Nick Bostrom called Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies that looks at a robot uprising, he wrote: ‘We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes.’ 

Mr Musk has previously claimed that a horrific ‘Terminator-like’ scenario could be created from research into artificial intelligence.

The 42-year-old is so worried, he is investing in AI companies, not to make money, but to keep an eye on the technology in case it gets out of hand.

in March, Mr Musk made an investment San Francisco-based AI group Vicarious, along with Mark Zuckerberg and actor Ashton Kutcher.

FBI Report Accidentally Exposes The Severity Of The Police State ~ gee folks don't let any facts geet in yer way ,Huh? violent crime has been dropping for decades.

November 30, 2014ain't that right ... a ? hehe 

The Anti Media
by Cary Wedler

A recently published FBI report accidentally proves that while the police claim cops face growing threats from rowdy populations–like in Ferguson–the opposite is true. The report presents law enforcement deaths in 2013.
The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in “line-of-duty” incidents. 27 died as a result of “felonious” acts and 49 officers died in accidents–namely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat belts–a violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report also outright admits that intentional murders of cops were down from 2004 and 2009.
Further, 49,851 officers were assaulted–a statistic that seemingly proves police are at risk. 29.2%, or 14,556, were actually injured (an admittedly high number). Still, a suspect fact is that 79.8% of the time, “assailants used personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).” This means that in a vast majority of cases, there was no physical evidence that assault occurred (outside of potential bruises and cuts,but this information is not public). Punches and kicks can be damaging, but nowhere near firearms and knives, which constituted a very small percentage of “assaults.” The report also does not specify what constitutes an “injury,” making designations of injury potentially arbitrary and subjective.
This means that the common police tactic of misrepresenting scuffles and charging people with assault could be at work (such as when a cop squeezed the breast of an Occupy protester so hard he left a bruise and in the chaos, she accidentally elbowed a cop. She went to jail for “assaulting” an officer). Of course, it’s a possibility that all 49,851 officers were simply “doing their jobs,” but at the very least it is important to be skeptical.
But besides direct contradictions to the logic behind institutional myths of heroic cops and dangerous bad guys, what are the implications of this FBI report?
First, that police are schizophrenic in their belief that they are in danger (this fear is proven in the recent Ferguson protests and presence of the National Guard). The overzealous militarization of local cops is enough to prove that they might as well be hiding under blankies from the American populace in spite of the fact thatviolent crime has been dropping for decades.
However, considering how well cops are armed and how efficiently the justice system protects them from prosecution for their crimes, they prove to be paranoid. 27 police officers in a country with over 300 million people died last year. Law enforcement deaths-by-murder are included in the 49,851 “assaults” against officers, which means that .05 (half a percent) died as a result of alleged attacks. Crime against cops has dropped to a 50 year low. It’s more dangerous to drive a car than be a cop (this is bolstered by the fact that the number of cops who died in car accidents almost equals the total number of cops murdered–23 to 27).
Second, militarization is working for the police. It is not working for the rest of us. Though there is little reliable, official data about the number of people police kill every year, tenuous reports claim it is around 400. This is already almost 15 times more than police who are intentionally killed. However, the 400 figure is a result of 17,000 local police agencies being allowed to self-report. The numbers could be far higher.
As Tech Dirt said of a 2008 FBI report that found cops had killed 391 people in 2007:

“That count only includes homicides that occurred during the commission of a felony. This total doesn’t include justifiable homicides committed by police officers against people not committing felonies and also doesn’t include homicides found to be not justifiable. But still, this severe undercount far outpaces the number of cops killed by civilians.”

The number of “justifiable” homocides was on the rise in 2008 (to be fair, it was rising among private citizens as well) in spite of the inconvenient fact that overall crime has been declining.
Unfortunately, the most important implication of the FBI report is the simple fact that the report exists. When the FBI takes the time to construct a meticulous report (you can read more details here) of all the ways that a tiny percentage of cops were killed–but cannot be bothered to officially count civilian deaths at the hands of cops, the reality is obvious:
The governemnt places a higher priority on their own than on the lives of those they claim to “serve,” “protect,” and “work for.” It cares more about exonerating the police of their crimes than providing justice to those they abuse. There is no justice when the criminal is the cop.

The range of the Newtown false flag seemingly knows no bounds. It has been documented that the boy known as Noah Posner, the face of the Sandy Hook murders, has now been “remembered” as a victim of the terror attack on a Pakistan school that killed over 100.

prisonplanet.com
Without explanation, Pozner’s image has appeared in multiple photos and reports of the high-profile Army Public School shooting, reportedly carried out by 9 members of an elite Taliban terror group on December 16.
Despite his death over two years ago, Pozner also managed to be memorialized on a wall dedicated to the APSACS massacre victims, according to a photo taken by Agence-France Press.

Pozner’s smiling face is also prominently displayed in a photo meme appearing on the website aworldatschool.org, who lists among its supporters the globalist NGO USAID and several United Nations sub-branches, and his photo is also tagged with the name “Huzaifa Huxaifa” on the “Army Public School & College – Boys Peshawar” Facebook page.

New World Order Sustains Uncomfortable Setbacks in 2014

Posted by George Freund

Activist Post

Looking back to 2014, I was thinking to myself, what theme summarized the year from a truth and freedom-seeking perspective? Could we pin down one common theme for the year?

Obviously many significant events occurred so I wondered, could we narrow these key events to one theme. Then it occurred to me, there was a clear-cut theme if you consider several memorable moments of the year and line them up side by side.

I recalled the April Bundy Ranch standoff where Senator Harry Reid got caught making secret business deals with the Chinese for land in Clark County, Nevada; and how this deal would be directly tied to the federal government's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) attempted land-grab of the Bundy Ranch estate. I recalled how the BLM showed up with SWAT teams, military equipment and helicopters, and even slaughtered innocent cattle and shut down cell lines as payback for unpaid fees they tried to illegally extort from the Bundy family.

With guns pointed directly at them in gangster fashion, the ranchers fought back and, more importantly, on behalf of everyone else in America who believes in the U.S. Constitution, they stood up to the BLM bullies. The BLM bandits would ultimately be ordered to stand down and leave. The historic stand down would be remembered as a historic failure on the part of the federal government, and a historic victory for Americans who believe in the principles of the Constitution. Despite the CIA-controlled mainstream media's 24/7 attempt to paint the Bundy family as racist federal tax evaders who are exploiting the system, their mission failed.

This theme of failure may just be the one common theme we saw most in 2014. For anyone who has been tracking the new world order and our march toward global tyranny at the hands of the U.S./NATO led cabal, you may have noticed these Western-led globalists took some big hits in 2014, both domestically and internationally. Setbacks that stand out as outright failures in their long-term plans for world domination. Let's examine other examples of their failures in 2014.

Following the Russian invasion of Crimea, the U.S. dumped billions of dollars into purchasing regime change in Ukraine. This would turn out to be a huge failure for the imperialistic U.S., as the people of Crimea would eventually vote overwhelmingly to join Russia, while their political strategies in Ukraine would outright fall apart by the end of the year.

In the middle of their struggle to portray Russia as the invaders and themselves as the noble couriers of democracy, the U.S.-backed Ukraine would be caught shooting down Malaysian Airline flight MH17 - blowing it out of the sky in a horribly failed false flag attempt to blame Russia. The failed false flag attempt was intended to rally global sentiment against Russia, to justify sanctions against Russia and begin beating the drums for WW3. All of these would fail or backfire in some way.

I recall thinking how much of a failure the U.S./NATO empire was for thinking they could actually fool the world into falsely blaming Russia for the shooting down of MH17 without any solid evidence. The globalists badly miscalculated the global community's ability to see through their lies. Evidence quickly surfaced to debunk the hasty claims of the U.S. that blamed Russia. The gloves were suddenly taken off. The Western powers' intent was now clearly revealed to the global community. The failures of 2014 by then had begun mounting for them, and were now becoming a clear theme in a year of political failures. In fact, by the end of the year the U.S. would embarrassingly be looking for ways to atone with Russia again, only to be rejected.

Earlier in the year, the Western powers were highly suspected in the mysterious disappearance of another Malaysian flight, MH370, who many accused the U.S. of being involved in. Many of us saw the usual hiding of evidence, bizarre oddities and rumors about the plane landing in Diego Garcia Air Force base. The mystery of MH370 would soon deepen with the downing of MH17 when the presumed crash site was reportedly laced with mysteries out of a Hollywood movie, including glow-in-the-dark cadavers with little to no blood, bodies that were not fresh, bodies with no clothes and bodies piled mostly in one area. All near a plane marked with what many felt (though not necessarily proven) may have been plane parts of flight MH370. To this day the mystery of MH370 looms in the background of the U.S. lies, propaganda, and failed false flag of MH17.

The fact is that the globalist criminals realized in 2014 that pulling off false flags at an international level is not as easy as pulling off a local false flag like Sandy Hook or Boston bombing. The corrupt Western powers who are fighting to form their one world Western-led (U.S./Israeli/NATO) global order had a horrific year from the standpoint of expanding their global influence.

U.S. partner in crime, Israel, whose disproportionate aggression and full-on genocide against the people of Gaza based on accusations and rationalization of Hamas "rockets," would capture the attention of the global community as well. We saw protesters throughout the world come together to expose Israeli terrorism, prompting attention from the International community, many calling for charges of war crimes against Israel.

Just in time to remove Israeli war crimes from the front pages of the global news, however, ISIS was rolled out to the world by the Western globalist cabal. Suddenly, almost overnight, the Western propaganda machine told us that ISIS - the new James Bond of terror groups - created itself and was the new bogeymonster terror group whose members accidentally switched sides after being trained by the CIA in Jordan. The world couldn't help but notice that ISIS happened to have U.S.-made weapons and trucks, and went by many other U.S.-friendly front names including "rebels", FSA, Al-Nusra, and even Al Qaeda in Iraq. A massive failure of Intelligence.

With everyone on the planet, except the Western mainstream media, fully aware that ISIS was funded and armed by the West, ISIS would become the symbol of Intelligence failure. The conspiracy theory that ISIS is a creation of the U.S. and its allies would soon become common knowledge to all except the politicians and media of the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. and Israel would be busted attacking the sovereign nation of Syria instead of ISIS, and in some cases actively supporting ISIS with air strikes and supplies. Yet the Western media would carry on with ISIS stories as if no one is watching. Not surprisingly, the year would eventually end without one story about the U.S. attempting in any way to actually destroy or disable ISIS's supplies. Not one story from mainstream media for that matter explaining why ISIS won't attack neighboring Israel or why they never run out of ammo. Instead it would be revealed that NATO's Turkey is actively supporting ISIS with hundreds of supply trucks crossing from Turkey into Syria every day.

Before the end of the year the ISIS stories would become more of a headache and annoyance, as people everywhere were forced to digest the two-fold reality: ISIS are dangerous bad guys who want to force Sharia law on everyone, AND ISIS is a full creation of and allies with the U.S. and its allies who need ISIS to exist for political reasons.

Ultimately, 2014 not only marked a year of outright Intelligence failure for the Western globalist gangsters, it marked a year where they got the attention of many around the world. The Russian president himself stated several times that U.S and its NATO allies were now the greatest threat to global peace and stability. Many throughout the Middle East openly confronted the propaganda of the West.

The truth about the West would become common knowledge amongst many in the Middle East. In one case, even a former Al Qaeda commander exposed to the world how the U.S./Israel and its allies were following their own PNAC plans for the Middle East, and that Al Qaeda/ISIS was working for CIA and Mossad. The West was fully exposed to the world, their reputation fully destroyed, trust in the U.S. shattered seemingly forever even as Western mainstream media continued their false propaganda narratives.

By the end of the year the Western-led propaganda mainstream media would collaborate with the FBI to falsely accuse North Korea of a major SONY hacking scandal which would prove absolutely false and unsubstantiated. In the face of global embarrassment, even after proven wrong, the U.S.'s FBI would shamelessly cling to their false claim accusing North Korea of hacking into Sony. As would be the usual trend globally, the U.S. would provide zero proof of their allegations. Naturally, this would serve to strengthen the relationship of U.S.'s enemies even as the U.S. dollar drew closer and closer to collapse.

As if all of the U.S. failed foreign policy was not enough, domestically again we saw problems beyond the Bundy Ranch disaster. The police state problem was inescapably brought into the consciousness of Americans in ways the globalists would never have wanted. In one nightmare scenario, the entire Lakers basketball team wore T-shirts that said "I can't breathe" in protest of the NYPD criminal chokehold murder of Eric Garner. Shortly before this, the nation was captured by the murder of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Protest against the fully exposed police state would rage nationwide.

In both cases the officers would get away with murder, thus exposing the corrupt legal system. In both cases we also saw how the mainstream media manipulated the masses and spun the issue of corrupt police and the police state to one of racism, in an attempt to fuel division and incite anger. In New York City, the year would end with the apparent vigilante execution shooting of 2 NYPD officers. The lapdog mainstream media would seize the moment and use the NYPD murder to promote massive pro-police propaganda in an attempt to ignore the greater police state problem.

As if these failures of the Western powers were not enough, the year would not end without one more bombshell that would put a major dent into the new world order. The CIA would be busted by documents revealed to the world that prove that they had been illegally torturing political prisoners for years following the 9/11 false flag. In a year laced with failures, the CIA torture report seemed to put an exclamation point on the failures of the new world order in 2014.

Let us all hope that this long series of failures, debacles, and embarrassments on the part of the Western globalist criminals continues and that they are all brought down in due time. Let us hope we are seeing a pattern that represents the beginning of a domestic and international paradigm shift. Evil is gradually being exposed, even as they continue to do more evil. Let us all continue to expose them, and hopefully 2015 will present even more problems for these criminals who hope to enslave us all.

From the exposing of criminal politicians of the past administration to the local and international criminal actions of the present administration, the year 2014 will be remembered by many of us as the year of the failures of the new world order. If 2014 is any indicator, it seems we have a lot to look forward to in 2015 from the standpoint of justice, accountability and hopefully transparency.
