The FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency — and even the Peace Corps — have become increasingly uncooperative with those tasked with keeping them in line.
This, combined with the well-documented retaliation against government whistleblowers, makes it clear that the executive branch under President Obama has not lived up to the promise of a new era of transparency made by candidate Obama. Indeed, things have gotten worse.
The first job of an investigator is to get the facts. But according to a recent New York Times story, at least 20 IG investigations have been “slowed, stymied or sometimes closed because of a long simmering dispute between the Obama administration and its own watchdogs over the shrinking access of inspectors general to confidential records…”
Case in point: the investigation into the “intelligence failures” before the Boston Marathon bombing stands as a reminder of what toothless oversight looks like. Stymied by the agencies involved, the Marathon bombing investigation found exactly no one accountable for failing to head off the tragic event .
Congress, which relies in part on these watchdog reports to fulfill its oversight role, has recently taken steps to stop the obstructive tactics of agencies that become targets of investigation.
The FBI Gets Creative
The problem originated with the FBI, according to Michael Horowitz, Department of Justice Inspector General. Back in 2010, the Bureau started refusing to provide the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with documents deemed relevant to an internal investigation, such as grand jury records, Title III electronic surveillance (warrantless wiretaps), and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) information.The FBI justified its stonewalling with a self-serving interpretation of the 1978 Inspector General Act. Congress originally passed the IG Act to bring oversight to a seemingly out-of-control executive branch after the revelations of Watergate, the FBI’s dirty tricks, domestic spying, and CIA assassination programs run amok.
But the FBI came up with a creative reading of this statute, one that effectively kneecapped the traditional independence of any IG conducting an investigation.
Former President Bill Clinton famously stretched the game of semantics to its breaking point when he told grand jurors investigating his possible perjury in the Monica Lewinsky scandal: “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is,’ is.”
Not to be outdone, FBI lawyers took issue with the commonly understood meaning of the word “all.”
The Inspector General Act of 1978 states that inspectors general will:
… have access to all
records, reports, audits, reviews, documents, papers, recommendations,
or other material available to the applicable establishment which relate
to programs and operations with respect to which that Inspector General
has responsibility under this act…[emphasis added].
But in 2010,
FBI lawyers determined that the privacy statutes written into laws like
the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) overruled unfettered access by IGs.
Instead, according to Horowitz, IGs were forced to “elevate the matter”
to the Agency’s leadership, or to the Attorney General or Deputy
Attorney General — significantly slowing the inquiry, and more
significantly, upending the independence necessary for IGs to be
effective.Other areas affected by nondisclosure provisions and statutes, according to the FBI, are FISA information, attorney-client information, patient medical information, Bank Secrecy Act information, Federal Juvenile Court records, information subject to nondisclosure agreements and memoranda of understanding, as well as “source” information.
Once the FBI succeeded in carving out exceptions to an IG’s ability to requisition information, other agencies, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Peace Corps, followed suit.
To highlight the scope of the potential problem brought about by this new interpretation of the IG Act, Department of Justice IG Horowitz testified to Congress that, “preliminary research has found that there are over 1000 laws that contain disclosure restrictions in them.”
According to Horowitz — who also chairs the Federal Council of IGs — these actions have seriously impaired the independence of the OIG.
All Means All
But the IG community is fighting back. A number of IGs have banded together in an effort to reestablish their traditionally unfettered access to the records of agencies they oversee.Last year, 47 IGs sent a letter to Congress raising concerns that agency heads were impeding their investigations.
In response, the Senate Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing aimed at focusing attention on the problem and getting some answers from the agencies involved. The official title of the hearing was: “‘All’ Means ‘All’: The Justice Department’s Failure to Comply With Its Legal Obligation to Ensure Inspector General Access to All Records Needed For Independent Oversight,”
Congress also added language to the 2015 Department of Justice Appropriations Act, stipulating that no funds appropriated by Congress could be used by any agency to deny their IG’s timely access to records.
A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers introduced an amendment to the original Inspector General Act, which seeks to put an end to the still ongoing executive-agency stonewalling once and for all. The bill will, in part, eliminate the role of federal agencies as supervisors of their IGs.
It will also require each IG office to provide Congress with a semiannual report detailing any instances where a federal agency “restricted or significantly delayed access to information, including the justification of the Federal agency or department for such action.” The bill is still working its way through Congress.
Hiding Something?
A quote from one of Senator Chuck Grassley’s news releases sums up the underlying problem neatly: “A federal agency’s failure to give its inspector general timely access to information as required by law raises red flags. It begs the question, ‘what are you trying to hide?'”It was Grassley who asked some of the most pointed questions about the FBI’s intelligence failures leading up to the Boston Marathon bombing — including questions about the FBI’s pre-bombing relationship with Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The IG investigation into the Marathon bombing intelligence failures was itself characteristically slowed, stymied, and ultimately closed, due to foot dragging. As a result, the public never got a full accounting of what really went on in the years leading up to the bombing. The IG of the Intelligence Community report complains:
The DOJ OIG’s access to
certain information was significantly delayed at the outset of the
review by disagreements with FBI officials over whether certain requests
fell outside the scope of the review or could cause harm to the
criminal investigation. Only after many months of discussions were these
issues resolved, and time that otherwise could have been devoted to
completing this review was instead spent on resolving these matters.
The
IGs who wrote the report also noted the excessive use of redactions
from multiple agencies involved, illustrating their dissatisfaction with
the picture being painted for the public. The report states that:
Redactions
in this document are the result of classification and sensitivity
designations we received from agencies and departments that provided
information to the OIGs for this review. …the OIGs disagreed with the
bases asserted. We are requesting that the relevant entities reconsider
those designations so that we can unredact those portions and make this
information available to the public.
No wonder former CIA analyst Ray McGovern wryly states that these agencies are subjected less to “oversight” than they are to “overlook.”False Flag Terror. A Historical Overview
Never Forget … Your Country Admits to "False Flag Terror"
Presidents, Prime Ministers, Congressmen, Generals, Soldiers and Police ADMIT to False Flag Terror
In the following instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admit to it, either orally, in writing, or through photographs or videos:
(1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria.
This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: “Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto [a high-ranking Japanese army officer], have on various occasionsadmitted their part in the plot and have stated that the object of the ‘Incident’ was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army ….” And see this.
(2) A major with the Nazi SS admitted at
the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo –
he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and
resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of
Poland.(3) Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building in 1933, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson.
(4) Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union’s Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila in 1939 – while blaming the attack on Finland – as a basis for launching the “Winter War” against Finland. Russian president Boris Yeltsin agreed that Russia had been the aggressor in the Winter War.
(5) The Russian Parliament, current Russian president Putin and former Soviet leader Gorbachev all admit that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered his secret police to execute 22,000 Polish army officers and civilians in 1940, and then falsely blamed it on the Nazis.
(6) The British government admits that – between 1946 and 1948 – it bombed 5 ships carrying Jews attempting to flee the Holocaust to seek safety in Palestine, set up a fake group called “Defenders of Arab Palestine”, and then had the psuedo-group falsely claim responsibility for the bombings (and see this, thisand this).
(7) Israel admits that in 1954, an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this).
(8) The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister.
(9) The Turkish Prime Minister admitted that the Turkish government carried out the 1955 bombing on a Turkish consulate in Greece – also damaging the nearby birthplace of the founder of modern Turkey – and blamed it on Greece, for the purpose of inciting and justifying anti-Greek violence.
(10) The British Prime Minister admitted to his defense secretary that he and American president Dwight Eisenhower approved a plan in 1957 to carry out attacks in Syria and blame it on the Syrian government as a way to effect regime change.
(11) The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this) (Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch this BBC special. They also allegedly carried out terror attacks in France, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the UK, and other countries.
False flag attacks carried out pursuant to this program include – by way of example only:
- The murder of the Turkish Prime Minister (1960)
- Bombings in Portugal (1966)
- The Piazza Fontana massacre in Italy (1969)
- Terror attacks in Turkey (1971)
- The Peteano bombing in Italy (1972)
- The Atocha massacre in Madrid, Spain (1977)
Operation Northwoods. False Flag
(14) As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in 1962, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
(15) In 1963, the U.S. Department of Defense wrote a paper promoting attacks on nations within the Organization of American States – such as Trinidad-Tobago or Jamaica – and then falsely blaming them on Cuba.
(16) The U.S. Department of Defense even suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to attack the United States: “The only area remaining for consideration then would be to bribe one of Castro’s subordinate commanders to initiate an attack on Guantanamo.”
(17) The NSA admits that it lied about what really happened in the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 … manipulating data to make it look like North Vietnamese boats fired on a U.S. ship so as to create a false justification for the Vietnam war.
(18) A U.S. Congressional committee admitted that – as part of its “Cointelpro” campaign – the FBI had used many provocateurs in the 1950s through 1970s to carry out violent acts and falsely blame them on political activists.
(19) A top Turkish general admitted that Turkish forces burned down a mosque on Cyprus in the 1970s and blamed it on their enemy. He explained: “In Special War, certain acts of sabotage are staged and blamed on the enemy to increase public resistance. We did this on Cyprus; we even burnt down a mosque.” In response to the surprised correspondent’s incredulous look the general said, “I am giving an example”.
(20) A declassified 1973 CIA document reveals a program to train foreign police and troops on how to make booby traps, pretending that they were training them on how to investigate terrorist acts:
The Agency maintains liaison in varying degrees with foreign police/security organizations through its field stations ….(21) The German government admitted (and see this) that, in 1978, the German secret service detonated a bomb in the outer wall of a prison and planted “escape tools” on a prisoner – a member of the Red Army Faction – which the secret service wished to frame the bombing on.
[CIA provides training sessions as follows:]
a. Providing trainees with basic knowledge in the uses of commercial and military demolitions and incendiaries as they may be applied in terrorism and industrial sabotage operations.
b. Introducing the trainees to commercially available materials and home laboratory techniques, likely to he used in the manufacture of explosives and incendiaries by terrorists or saboteurs.
c. Familiarizing the trainees with the concept of target analysis and operational planning that a saboteur or terrorist must employ.
d. Introducing the trainees to booby trapping devices and techniques givingpractical experience with both manufactured and improvised devices through actual fabrication.
The program provides the trainees with ample opportunity to develop basic familiarity and proficiently through handling, preparing applying the various explosive charges, incendiary agents, terrorist devices sabotage techniques.
(22) A Mossad agent admits that, in 1984, Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Gaddaffi’s compound in Tripoli, Libya which broadcast fake terrorist trasmissions recorded by Mossad, in order to frame Gaddaffi as a terrorist supporter. Ronald Reagan bombed Libya immediately thereafter.
(23) The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him “to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC [the African National Congress] by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident”, thus framing the ANC for the bombing.
(24) An Algerian diplomat and several officers in the Algerian army admit that, in the 1990s, the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings (and see this video; and Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002, French Court Dismisses Algerian Defamation Suit Against Author).
(25) The United States Army’s 1994 publication Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces – updated in 2004 –recommends employing terrorists and using false flag operations to destabilize leftist regimes in Latin America. False flag terrorist attacks were carried out in Latin America and other regions as part of the CIA’s “Dirty Wars“. And see this.
(26) Similarly, a CIA “psychological operations” manual prepared by a CIA contractor for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels noted the value of assassinating someone on your own side to create a “martyr” for the cause. The manual wasauthenticated by the U.S. government. The manual received so much publicity from Associated Press, Washington Post and other news coverage that – during the 1984 presidential debate – President Reagan was confronted with the following question on national television:
At this moment, we are confronted with the extraordinary story of a CIA guerrilla manual for the anti-Sandinista contras whom we are backing, which advocates not only assassinations of Sandinistas but the hiring of criminals to assassinate the guerrillas we are supporting in order to create martyrs.(27) An Indonesian fact-finding team investigated violent riots which occurred in 1998, and determined that “elements of the military had been involved in the riots, some of which were deliberately provoked”.
(28) Senior Russian Senior military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings in 1999 and falsely blamed it on Chechens, in order to justify an invasion of Chechnya (and see this report and this discussion).
(29) As reported by BBC, the New York Times, and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers attempting to assassinate Macedonian police, in order to join the “war on terror”.
(30) At the July 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, black-clad thugs were videotaped getting out of police cars, and were seen by an Italian MP carrying “iron bars inside the police station”. Subsequently, senior police officials in Genoa subsequently admitted that police planted two Molotov cocktails and faked the stabbing of a police officer at the G8 Summit, in order to justify aviolent crackdown against protesters.
(31) The U.S. falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks – as shown by a memo from the defense secretary – as one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq war. Even after the 9/11 Commission admitted that there was no connection, Dick Cheney said that the evidence is “overwhelming” that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein’s regime, that Cheney “probably” had information unavailable to the Commission, and that the media was not ‘doing their homework’ in reporting such ties. Top U.S. government officials nowadmit that the Iraq war was really launched for oil … not 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction. Despite previous “lone wolf” claims, many U.S. government officials now say that 9/11 was state-sponsored terror; but Iraq was not the state which backed the hijackers. (Many U.S. officials have alleged that 9/11 was a false flag operation by rogue elements of the U.S. government; but such a claim is beyond the scope of this discussion. The key point is that the U.S. falsely blamed it on Iraq, when it knew Iraq had nothing to do with it.).
(32) Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax attacks were carried out by one or more U.S. government scientists, a senior FBI official says that the FBI was actually told to blame the Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House officials (remember what the anthrax letters looked like). Government officials also confirm that the white House tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country.
(33) According to the Washington Post, Indonesian police admit that the Indonesian military killed American teachers in Papua in 2002 and blamed the murders on a Papuan separatist group in order to get that group listed as a terrorist organization.
(34) The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings.
(35) Police outside of a 2003 European Union summit in Greece were filmedplanting Molotov cocktails on a peaceful protester
(36) Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launchfake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications.”
(37) Similarly, in 2005, Professor John Arquilla of the
Naval Postgraduate School – a renowned US defense analyst credited with
developing the concept of ‘netwar’ – called for western intelligence services to create new “pseudo gang” terrorist groups,
as a way of undermining “real” terror networks. According to
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, Arquilla’s
‘pseudo-gang’ strategy was, Hersh reported, already being implemented by the Pentagon:
Under Rumsfeld’s new approach, I was told, US military operatives would be permitted to pose abroad as corrupt foreign businessmen seeking to buy contraband items that could be used in nuclear-weapons systems. In some cases, according to the Pentagon advisers, local citizens could be recruited and asked to join up with guerrillas or terrorists…
The new rules will enable the Special Forces community to set up what it calls ‘action teams’ in the target countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate terrorist organizations. ‘Do you remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?’ the former high-level intelligence official asked me, referring to the military-led gangs that committed atrocities in the early nineteen-eighties. ‘ founded and we financed ,’ he said. ‘The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we want. And aren’t going Congress about it.’ A former military officer, who has knowledge of the Pentagon’s commando capabilities, said, ‘We’re going riding .’(38) United Press International reported in June 2005:
U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.(39) Undercover Israeli soldiers admitted in 2005 to throwing stones at other Israeli soldiers so they could blame it on Palestinians, as an excuse to crack down on peaceful protests by the Palestinians.
(40) Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this).
(41) A 2008 US Army special operations field manual recommends that the U.S. military use surrogate non-state groups such as “paramilitary forces, individuals, businesses, foreign political organizations, resistant or insurgent organizations, expatriates, transnational terrorism adversaries, disillusioned transnational terrorism members, black marketers, and other social or political ‘undesirables.’” The manual specifically acknowledged that U.S. special operations can involve both counterterrorism and “Terrorism” (as well as “transnational criminal activities, including narco-trafficking, illicit arms-dealing, and illegal financial transactions.”)
(42) The former head of Secret Services and Head of State of Italy (Francesco Cossiga) advised the 2008 minister in charge of the police, on how to deal with protests from teachers and students:
He should do what I did when I was Minister of the Interior … infiltrate the movement with agents provocateurs inclined to do anything …. And after that, with the strength of the gained population consent, … beat them for blood and beat for blood also those teachers that incite them. Especially the teachers. Not the elderly, of course, but the girl teachers yes.(43) At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of parliament sawplain clothes police officers attempting to incite the crowd to violence.
(44) Egyptian politicians admitted (and see this) that government employees looted priceless museum artifacts in 2011 to try to discredit the protesters.
(45) Rioters who discredited the peaceful protests against the swearing in of the Mexican president in 2012 admitted that they were paid 300 pesos each to destroy everything in their path. According to Wikipedia, photos also show the vandals waiting in groups behind police lines prior to the violence.
(46) A Colombian army colonel has admitted that his unit murdered 57 civilians, then dressed them in uniforms and claimed they were rebels killed in combat.
(47) On November 20, 2014, Mexican agent provocateurs were transported by army vehicles to participate in the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping protests, as wasshown by videos and pictures distributed via social networks.
(48) The highly-respected writer for the Telegraph Ambrose Evans-Pritchard says that the head of Saudi intelligence – Prince Bandar – recently admitted that the Saudi government controls “Chechen” terrorists.
(49) High-level American sources admitted that the Turkish government – a fellow NATO country – carried out the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government; and high-ranking Turkish government admitted on tape plans to carry out attacks and blame it on the Syrian government.
(50) The Ukrainian security chief admits that the sniper attacks which started the Ukrainian coup were carried out in order to frame others. Ukrainian officialsadmit that the Ukrainian snipers fired on both sides, to create maximum chaos. And a Maidan protester admitted that he fired a sniper rifle at police from the Conservatory, and that he was guided by a military veteran within the Maidan resistance.
Maidan Riots
(52) U.S. soldiers have admitted that if they kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then “drop” automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants
(53) Similarly, police frame innocent people for crimes they didn’t commit. The practice is so well-known that the New York Times noted in 1981:
In police jargon, a throwdown is a weapon planted on a victim.Newsweek reported in 1999:
Perez, himself a former [Los Angeles Police Department] cop, was caught stealing eight pounds of cocaine from police evidence lockers. After pleading guilty in September, he bargained for a lighter sentence by telling an appalling story of attempted murder and a “throwdown”–police slang for a weapon planted by cops to make a shooting legally justifiable. Perez said he and his partner, Officer Nino Durden, shot an unarmed 18th Street Gang member named Javier Ovando, then planted a semiautomatic rifle on the unconscious suspect and claimed that Ovando had tried to shoot them during a stakeout.Wikipedia notes:
As part of his plea bargain, Pérez implicated scores of officers from the Rampart Division’s anti-gang unit, describing routinely beating gang members, planting evidence on suspects, falsifying reports and covering up unprovoked shootings.(As a side note – and while not technically false flag attacks – police have been busted framing innocent people in many other ways, as well.)
(54) A former U.S. intelligence officer recently alleged:
Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are created by our own security services.(55) The head and special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office said that most terror attacks are committed by the CIA and FBI as false flags. Similarly, the director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom said:
By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation.(audio here).
(56) Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the “benefits” of of false flags to justify their political agenda:
Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.
– Adolph Hitler
Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
– Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened.
– Josef Stalin

Jupiter Ascending: Is This Movie Telling Us The Truth In Plain Sight?

via OmniThought
It has been known by many spiritual teachers that humanity is in the process of going through a dramatic shift in consciousness. This special event is often referred to as ascension. Ascension can be a confusing topic to talk about, because there are many different versions of ascension. This article will explore the ascension process beyond religion and the New Age and expose some shocking things about ascension and the movie Jupiter Ascending.
What is Ascension?
The word ascension comes from the Latin word ascensionem, which means “a rising.” It also comes from the noun of action from past participle stem of ascendere, which means “to mount, ascend, go up.” Based on these definitions, ascension means “to go up or rise.”

America In 2016 – Something Big Being Planned To Fully Bring In NWO Agenda
Warning! This Years Flu Shot Is Killing People Across The Country
Ascension is not only a spiritual process but is also a scientific process that utilizes the Laws of Nature to assist spiritual beings to evolve back to the Prime Creator. This process allows all spiritual beings to eventually evolve and ascend out of time and space to re-emerge with their higher identities of pure consciousness.
The process of ascension involves raising the particle pulsation rhythm of the body, allowing the body to absorb higher frequency into its morphogenetic field and therefore increasing its frequency. The more accurate term for this process is frequency accretion. This process causes our bodies to become lighter and less dense. It also causes our consciousness to expand and therefore allowing us to ascend to higher levels of consciousness.
This version of ascension is often contradicting to what is taught in most religions. This is because most, if not all, religions are controlled by the Dark Forces, especially the major religions of the world.
Why You Should Be Wary of the Religious Versions of Ascension
Every religion throughout the world has its own version of ascension. For example, some religions teach that only the chosen people can ascend or that only the Prime Creator can make someone ascend. Other religions (i.e., the New Age) claim that extraterrestrials (ETs) are coming to save us and help us ascend.
In Christianity, it is taught that Jesus will one day come from the heavens and save his people and bring them back to the kingdom of God. With so many different versions of ascension, how do you know which one is correct?
From many years of studying esoteric knowledge and the ascension process, I have discovered that at the deepest level religion is nothing more than a tool created by the Dark Forces to enslave our minds and souls. The idea that a messiah or some alien race is coming to save us is a psychological operation (psyop) created by the Dark Forces to keep us living in a state of mental slavery.
If you want strong evidence that religion is a tool of enslavement, study the symbols of secret societies and you will eventually see these symbols in churches, religious temples, courtrooms, and government buildings. For example, the cross symbol is not really a symbol of Christianity. Instead, it is a masonic symbol used by the Knights Templar and the Jesuits.
Here is an excerpt from my seminar titled Ascension and the “Forbidden” Secrets of Religion about the origin of the cross symbol.
The cross was used as a religious symbol in ancient Egypt and Babylonia long before the existence of Christianity. In Babylonia, the cross was used as the symbol for the god Tammuz. Certain archaeologists believed that the cross originated from the cross of the zodiac.
The secret society that uses the cross as its main symbol is the Knights Templar. Today, you can find this same cross on the walls of churches or on the top of their roofs.
One thing you need to know about secret societies is that they operate like street gangs. When secret societies put their symbols on churches and government buildings, they are telling you that those buildings are their properties and territories, just like how street gangs mark their territories with gang signs.
Another thing you should know about secret societies is that they are made up of good and bad people; unfortunately, it is the bad people who are usually in charge. This still does not change the fact that secret societies are basically organized gangs. Unlike street gangs, secret societies are much more organized and powerful, which is why they control countries instead of city blocks.
Because nearly all religions were created and are still being controlled by secret societies, it is wise to question the teachings of every religion as much as possible. For more strong evidence that secret societies control nearly every religion of the world, read my empowering article titled The Symbolic Codes of Jesus and Christmas.
Are the Dark Forces Planning to Use the Ascension Process to Harvest Humans?
The idea that the Dark Forces (groups of demons) and their minions (the Controllers) have been planning to harvest humans to use them as a food source during the ascension process is not a new idea. For the last year or two, I have been searching for strong evidence to back up this claim. So far I have not found any irrefutable proof that humans have been harvested to be used as food. However, I have found some evidence that points toward that direction and I do know that we are being used as “batteries.”
The following content in block quotation is extracted from my fourth seminar titled Word Magic and the Power of Words. It explains in greater details as to why the Dark Forces may be planning to harvest humans during the ascension process, which is supposed to occur near the end of this age.
One of the things you need to know about the Dark Forces (groups of demons) and the Controllers is that they like to tell you what they are doing to you or are planning to do to you in movies and TV shows. In the movie Jupiter Ascending (2015), there is a scene where Titus shows Jupiter a room filled with thousands of vials that contain youth serums.
By drinking the youth serums, it allows Titus and his race to live for thousands of years. What was shocking about the serums was that they were made from harvesting hundreds of dead humans. Could this be the ichor or the “golden blood plasma” that the Greeks used to talk about?
The golden blood plasma, which is believed to have organic monoatomic gold in it, could be one of the main reasons why the Dark Forces and the Controllers have been promoting the idea that alien gods will come save us or that the Rapture event will take certain people back to God. Keep in mind that when a religion refers to God, it is not always talking about the Prime Creator. A lot of the time, it is referring to the alien gods of good or evil.
The word Rapture is connected to the Latin word raptus, which means “a carrying off, abduction, snatching away; rape.” Therefore, the deeper meaning of the word Rapture is snatching or abduction. Christians who believe that they will be raptured to heaven have been deceived by the Dark Forces.
If the evil alien gods are after our golden blood plasma, then the ascension process that we are currently going through would be the best time to trick us to agree to be harvested from the Garden of Eden/Eatin’. They need to trick us because they need our CONSENT. If they were to take us by force, they would violate the Law of Free Will.
To overcome the problem of violating our free will, the Dark Forces like to use spiritual contracts to trick us to give up some of our free will. If you had signed a spiritual contract or agreed to participate in a religious contract (i.e., baptism), you can void it by saying that the contract is now voided and the Prime Creator is your witness. Keep in mind that the birth certificate is also a spiritual contract.
If it is true that the human body can produce more organic monoatomic goldduring ascension cycles, then it would make sense that the evil alien gods would use the ascension process to trick human beings to agree to go with them. Maybe this is why ascension is sometimes called the harvest, as stated in the book titled The Ra Material.
A word that gives us a clue to back up the harvesting of humans is the word fetus. Phonetically, the word fetus sounds like the term feed us.
After the fetus/feed-us is born, he or she is called a baby. The word baby is phonetically “bay-bee.” The word bay is defined as “a body of water partially enclosed by land but with a wide mouth, affording access to the sea.” Because you are made of water, you are like the bay. As for the word bee, it is a name used to identify flying insects that are known for producing honey.
Based on the two definitions above, the word baby (bay-bee) means a body of water that produces honey. Combine water and honey and you get the “golden blood plasma” that the alien gods need for longevity. More babies mean more golden blood plasma or “honey” for the alien gods. Why do you think a couple in a relationship called each other honey or baby? Because every human or baby/fetus/feed-us has “golden blood plasma” or “honey” inside him or her.
Below is an excerpt of the movie script Jupiter Ascending. This part of the script talks about the youth serum or nectar that allows Titus and his people to live for thousands of years.
Titus: Come with me.
Jupiter: What is that?
Titus: It has many names. Regenx, recell, nectar. There are various levels of usefulness and quality, but this is the most pure and most valuable solution made by the house of Abrasax.
Jupiter: Kalique came out of a bath.
Titus: Naturally, my sister didn’t explain what it is or where it comes from. It comes from people. Each unit is refined from approximately a hundred human beings.
Jupiter: What?
Titus: Your planet is a farm, Jupiter. There are thousands of planets like yours set up by families like mine to supply an ever increasing demand for more time.
Jupiter: Are you saying you killed a hundred people to make this?
Titus: Not me, but…yes, someone did. Not unlike butchering a herd of cattle.
Jupiter: Oh, my God.
Titus: It’s all right. It’s all right. My mother went through a profound change at the end of her life. She felt exactly as you do now. But when she tried to do something to stop this business, she was murdered. I believe the same thing is about to happen to me because I began to carry out the work she started. That is why I hired Mr. Wise to find you.
Here is a screenshot of the scene where Titus gives Jupiter one of the youth serums to look at and told her that it was made from harvesting nearly 100 humans.

How the Dark Forces are Getting Away with Their Evil Acts
One of the main reasons why the Dark Forces and their minions tell us what they are doing to the human race or are planning to do to the human race is because they do not want to violate the Law of Free Will. If they violate the Law of Free Will beyond a certain point, the Universe will send its cosmic forces to teach them lessons, which could destroy their empire. Some people refer to these lessons as karmic lessons.
By telling us what they are doing to the human race in movies, TV shows, music, and video games, they are giving us a choice and a chance to say no. One of the main reasons why they like to use these mediums is because most people do not take the messages broadcasted from these mediums seriously.
When we ignore their messages and choose to do nothing, it means that we do not really care about what they are doing; therefore, the Dark Forces can use that as an excuse to go ahead with their diabolical plans. This is how they are getting away with all the evil things that they are doing to us.
Once you understand how the Law of Free Will works, you will know that whenever the Dark Forces want to harm people or wage wars on other countries, they need the people’s CONSENT. Be aware that the act of being silent is considered a form of consent. It is called implied consent.
To not give your consent to the Dark Forces, you need to be aware of what they are doing. Your awareness is one of your most powerful spiritual powers for stopping the Dark Forces. When you are aware of what they are doing, you can say NO. If enough of us say no, the Dark Forces will have to back off. If they refuse to back off and take actions to harm us, they will have to deal with the cosmic forces of the Universe. All thoughts, intentions, and actions are known by the Universe and there is no escaping its laws.
If what I wrote in this section is hard for you to believe, watch the pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen and you will see that the show predicted the September 11 attacks nearly 6 months before it happened. Was it a coincidence? When it comes to this type of thing, it is almost never a coincidence.
As described at Wikipedia.org.
The Lone Gunmen, a spin-off of the popular series The X-Files, is a television show that aired on the Fox network, featuring the characters of the same name. The show first aired in March 2001 and, despite good reviews, was canceled due to a drop in ratings.[1] The last episode aired in June 2001.
The debut of the show in March 2001, began with Byers’ father faking his death to uncover a conspiracy to hijack an airliner. The Lone Gunmen try to get to the truth of his supposed death and uncover the conspiracy.
One retrospectively relevant aspect of this pilot episode is that the airliner has been hijacked (via remote control of the plane’s autopilot) and, by the end, both Byers and his father have boarded the plane to try to stop the hijacking. Through the aid of the other Gunmen, they are able to regain control of the plane and just miss crashing into the World Trade Center with the airliner. This, of course, was before the actual September 11 attacks against the World Trade Center later that year.

The Solutions for Stopping the Dark Forces and Their New World Order
One of the first things you need to do to stop the Dark Forces is to remove your consent. A great way to do this is to write a declaration of spiritual freedom. By doing this, the Dark Forces will think twice before doing anything to you for the reason that they do not want to be punished for infringing on your free will and natural rights.
Another thing you need to do is to stop relying on a savior or a messiah to save you. Also, stop relying on the government to save you. Most of the government is controlled by the leaders of the NWO, which is why the government is corrupt. The savior ideology is a psychological operation created by certain secret societies to enslave your mind and prevent you from taking personal responsibility for your future.
Stop relying on the systems of the NWO and start building better systems to replace them. The NWO’s fractional reserve banking, political, and carbon-based energy system are all designed to control you and steal your wealth through the use of deceptive means. These systems can not survive without the people’s support, so stop supporting them and start supporting alternative systems run by the people.
Do not participate in the current voting system. In the USA, when you vote, you are voting for a foreign candidate who has committed treason against the USA. These politicians are actually agents of the NWO. The right to vote in the USA is a fraud. If you want proof of this, read this empowering article titled Why the Right to Vote in the United States is a Fraud.
The following video does a great job of showing solutions for stopping the NWO. I have had mixed feelings about videos made by Anonymous, but this video contains a lot of information that I agree with. I highly advise that you watch it so that you know how to create a better society for humanity. If the title of this video bothers you, do not worry because this video is about peaceful solutions for freeing humanity.
For other effective solutions for stopping the NWO, download or view the full presentations (PDF files) of my seminars and study the information in them.

Transparent Metal is Clearly a Useful New Invention

- December 24, 2015

OK, that last one may not be a good application of transparent metal, but replacing the current displays on smart phones is. Their screens and those on most tablets are generally made with a transparent conducting oxide called indium tin oxide which makes up a whopping 40 percent of the cost of these devices. The price of indium tin oxide has ranged from $200/kg to $1000/kg over the past ten years and shows no signs of going down.
Will transparent metals really bring the price of smartphones down?
According to their report in Nature Materials, strontium vanadate and calcium vanadate are two correlated metals. Strontium, vanadium and calcium are abundant materials, with vanadium selling for $25/kg and strontium even less.
That takes care of the cost, but what about the performance? Roman Engel-Herbert, assistant professor of materials science and engineering and team leader, says correlated metals perform the same function as indium tin oxide.
This electron liquid is still highly conductive, but when you shine light on it, it becomes less reflective, thus much more transparent.The next step is to ramp up the manufacturing of strontium vanadate and calcium vanadate on the large scale that Silicon Valley demands. A part of that may be applying the technology to smart windows that change from transparent to translucent depending on light and heat conditions. Once that’s done, Engel-Herbert and his team will move to a new type of solar cell based on organic perovskites (materials with the same type of crystal structure as calcium titanium oxide) that need an inexpensive transparent conductor to make them affordable.
It’s time to scratch “transparent metal” from your list of oxymorons.
Unfortunately, transparent metal won’t help you here
