PONERIZATION: How the American Republic was taken over by political cliques of criminally insane psychopaths

Can the ponerological Deep State ever be fixed?


State of the Nation

Ponerization (from ancient Greek poneros – evil), is a ponerological term coined by Dr. Andrzej M. Ɓobaczewski. Ponerization is the influence of pathological people on individuals and groups whereby they develop acceptance of pathological reasoning and values.[1]

It’s high time for the American people to face a hard reality.
They have been under the ponerological influence of an unbroken succession of political cliques whose central organizing principle is the perpetual war economy.
Because the United States of America was stealthily transformed into the military arm of the New World Order, numerous unprovoked wars of aggression have been waged around the world for well over a hundred years.  These highly destructive and deadly wars have been fought in the name of the American people, and with their tax dollars.  Hence, the American people are complicit in these misadventures by virtue of their inaction and indifference.
With this critical understanding, the U.S. citizenry has a profound karmic responsibility in so much wanton death and destruction across the planet.  Nevertheless, it is never too late to reverse the course of the “Psychopathocracy” that the U.S. Federal Government has become as a tool of Deep State.
An Abridged History Of The United States Psychopathocracy
Hence, the $64,000 question of 2017 is: Will President Trump put a stop to the wars?  Will he terminate the perpetual war economy as he promised during the campaign season.

Trump’s most important campaign promise

There were many significant promises that Candidate Trump made during the 2016 election cycle, but the single most important was his commitment to world peace and international cooperation.  Making peace with Russia was the cornerstone of  Trumpian foreign policy.
However, the real obstacle to the implementation of this popular and noble plan is the degree to which the body politic itself — on both sides of the political divide — have been irreversibly ponerized.  Much more significantly, however, is the fact that the vast majority of the agents of Deep State have been purposefully ponerized.

“When something or someone has become “Ponerized” in its strictest sense, it means that the person or group can no longer make the distinction between healthy and pathological thought processes and logic. One is no longer able to draw a line between correct thinking and deviant thinking.”[1]

The most glaring example of ponerization is the complete takeover of the Left by the infamous and incorrigible psychopath George Soros.  It’s not just the Soros machine that is at work here.  There is in actuality a vast network of criminally insane psychopaths who are affiliated with the many Soros organizations, all of which are connected directly or indirectly to Deep State.
Of course, one need look no further than the 2016 campaign season to view the complete ponerization of the Democratic Party.  Candidate Hillary R. Clinton and husband Bill, Campaign Chair John Podesta, President Barack Obama and wife Michelle, VP Joe Biden, Candidate Tim Kaine, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, et al. presented themselves as a cast of evil characters in a real life “film noir” where Edgar Allan Poe meets Franz Kafka.
Truly, it just can’t get any more malevolent and ugly, nefarious and repugnant than what the whole world witnessed during the 2016 presidential campaign.  The whole election cycle and period leading up to Inauguration Day was by far the most uncivil and outrageous in U.S. history.

But why?  Really, why have things so degraded throughout civil society USA?

PONERIZATION

The seemingly inexorable ponerization of American society by the political class and mainstream media, together with the international banksters and corporate lobbyists, hit a new low in 2016.  In fact, the public discourse has so deteriorated, and basic social norms have been so violated, that 2017 will inevitably see a further degeneration.
Deep State: Where the Shadow Government Meets the Corporate Controllers
The political status quo that President Trump now faces is one that seemed unimaginable before he entered the presidential race in July of 2015.  This ever-worsening predicament has been methodically manufactured by the agents of Deep State through a deliberate process of ponerization.  As a matter of fact, it is the various ponerological strategies and tactics employed by various “political cliques of criminally insane psychopaths” who are responsible for this rapidly devolving state of affairs.

Here’s how it works:

The Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) forms the very backbone of Deep State.  Only by understanding where the C.I.A. really came from, and how it was originally constituted, will the pervasiveness of post-modern ponerization be correctly comprehended.  As follows:
“The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was a wartime intelligence agency of the United States during World War II, and a predecessor of the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The OSS was formed as an agency of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS)[4] to coordinate espionage activities behind enemy lines for all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Other OSS functions included the use of propaganda, subversion, and post-war planning.”[3]
Given this historical reality that the OSS, and then the CIA, were all about coordinating espionage, disseminating propaganda, subversion, etc., it’s easy to understand the type of individual who is drawn to such dubious work.  “Dubious” because these nefarious activities are virtually always aimed at overthrowing democratically elected governments around the world which have not cooperated with the New World Order agenda.
Even more alarmingly, through the implementation of Operation Paperclip, the C.I.A. became the final home of so many Nazi operatives at the end of World War II.  One of those Nazis was Reinhard Gehlen who is described on the CIA’s website as follows:
“General Reinhard Gehlen, former head of Nazi intelligence operations against the Soviets, was hired by the US Army and later by the CIA to operate 600 ex-Nazi agents in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany. In 1948, CIA Director Roscoe Hillenkoetter assumed control of the so-called Gehlen Organization.”[4]
(Source: www.cia.gov)
What this page on the CIA website neglects to say is that Operation Paperclip (OP) brought many more high-level Nazis than the publicized scientists, engineers and technicians. Gen. Gehlen is a perfect example of those high-ranking intelligence assets who not only came to the United States unimpeded, they carved out a very special niche within the American intelligence community.
The real OP back story is well beyond the scope of this article; however; suffice it to say that recruits like Gehlen came to occupy some of the most powerful positions within the C.I.A., as well as within other black budgeted, super-secret intelligence agencies.  These nameless agencies did their clandestine work without any oversight whatsoever.  The “Reinhard Gehlen” story is an example of how one man thoroughly corrupted the entire C.I.A. with his Nazi philosophy, intelligence-gathering strategies and recruitment policies.

“Nazi Recruitment Policies”

This is where the ponerization of American government accelerated at an unprecedented rate.  Because the Soviet threat was used to scare the heck out of everyone post World War II by those who ran the C.I.A., it could be effectively utilized it to keep everyone in line. The Nazi regime in Germany was genuinely afraid of the Communist leadership of the USSR.  Some historians have even posited that Adolf Hitler attacked Russia as a result of this abiding fear and loathing of all things having to do with Marxism and Communism.  It was the relentless cultivation of this same fearful attitude stateside that was responsible for creating the philosophical basis for the Cold War, especially as it was aggressively promoted by The Company (as the C.I.A. is known in intelligence circles).
What’s the point?
The critical point here is that the hiring policies of the CIA (and NSA, DIA, DHS and all the other 13 US intelligence agencies) have grown out of this environment of fear and trepidation, paranoia and suspicion.  Whenever this is the case, those in charge will always lean toward the recruitment and hiring of individuals who are just like them.  Because the leaders of the C.I.A. were so heavily influenced by the OP-recruited Nazis, they adopted their screening process for all future agents and managers.
In this fashion, CIA agents were routinely hired who would follow any and all orders unquestioningly.  By and large each successive crop of agents had to prove that they would do whatever was necessary to carry out their intelligence-gathering missions and/or black operations.  The many psyops conducted by the C.I.A. particularly demanded that the agents completely suspend their conscience during the execution of many of those psychological operations.
It’s well known throughout intelligence communities worldwide that the ‘best’ spooks are those who are willing to do whatever is necessary to accomplish their mission, no matter how vile or immoral.  This is what they do.  They are totally divorced from the consequences of their actions because they have been empowered by a thoroughly ponerized institution (CIA) which they are told can do no wrong.  As an organ of the U.S. Federal Government, the C.I.A. is fully protected from prosecution.  So are the oversees field agents, unless they violate laws of foreign nations which they do all the time.  They just are never caught.  Or, if they are caught, they are allowed to get away with the law-breaking because the victimized country does not want to end up like Afghanistan … or Iraq … or Libya … or Syria … or the Ukraine.

Why the C.I.A. must be dissolved

The crucial factoid here is that like usually hires like.  A psychopath will almost always bend toward recruiting like-minded psychopaths.  A sociopath will do the same.  Nazis are much more comfortable hiring Nazis, just as Communists are in hiring Communists. Hence, the C.I.A. has now undergone many decades of recruiting folks who fit the profile of a spook who has little or no conscience and who habitually exhibits the following characteristics:
  • glib and superficial charm.
  • grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self.
  • need for stimulation.
  • pathological lying.
  • cunning and manipulativeness.
  • lack of remorse or guilt.
  • shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
  • callousness and lack of empathy.
  • glib and superficial charm
  • grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self
  • need for stimulation
  • pathological lying
  • cunning and manipulativeness
  • lack of remorse or guilt
  • shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
  • callousness and lack of empathy
  • parasitic lifestyle
  • poor behavioral controls
  • sexual promiscuity
  • early behavior problems
  • lack of realistic long-term goals
  • impulsivity
  • irresponsibility
  • failure to accept responsibility for own actions
  • many short-term marital relationships
  • juvenile delinquency
  • revocation of conditional release
  • criminal versatility[5]
All of these personality traits in the aggregate basically define a psychopath. Therefore, when the C.I.A. has only recruited and hired psychopaths (and sociopaths) since the mid 1940s, what can be expected of such an intelligence agency.  That’s right, it will eventually become a stupid agency which is exactly what occurred under the misguided leadership of former CIA Director John Brennan.  He’s the ex-spook who actually oversaw the leaking of classified intelligence so it could be strategically used against a sitting POTUS—President Trump!
Because the current C.I.A. organization has been fastidiously staffed in this manner, it has become the most ponerized institution in modern history.  Hence, the C.I.A. has been used as the premier organ of ponerization throughout in the USA and the world-at-large.  All the C.I.A. ever has to do to justify any scheme it wants to implement anywhere, anytime is to invoke ‘national security’.  In this fashion the C.I.A. has become an incorrigibly rogue agency empowered to destroy and demolish, subvert and undermine, sabotage and disrupt at will.

“THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO EFFECTIVELY DEAL WITH  A CRIMINALLY INSANE PSYCHOPATH—YOU DON’T!” [6]

______________________________________________________________
Special Note:
The Trump Administration appears to be different from all previous administrations, except that there are still numerous agents of Deep State scattered around the Executive Branch.  This predicament poses the single greatest obstacle to the President’s goal to “Make America Great Again”.   It’s well known within the realm of psychology and psychiatry that the most effective way to deal with a psychopath is to NOT deal them.  As long as they are in the position to exert their malevolent influence, they will quite naturally wreck and ruin everything they touch.  Given this inviolable law of psychopathy, the POTUS would be well advised to weed out every Zionist, Neocon, Jesuit, warmonger, globalist, NWO agent, RINO, etc. post haste.  It only takes one ill-placed psychopath to take down the whole administration.  Which is why extremely dangerous Neocon warmongers like John Bolton have absolutely no place in the U.S. Department of State. (Got that, Steve Bannon?!)
______________________________________________________________


Conclusion

In case you haven’t noticed, the whole place has been systematically ponerized.
Because the C.I.A. owns and operates the entire Mainstream Media (MSM), it has been ponerized to a great extent.  Just look at the anchors on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, as well as the Pulitzer prizewinning authors at the WashPo, NYT, WSJ, USA Today, etc.
Because the C.I.A. (and NSA and DIA) control the U.S. Congress, it has been irreversibly ponerized.  So has the Supreme Court, and, to an even greater extent, the leadership of the Federal Reserve System.  Likewise, many flag officers, who have been chosen for promotion over decades to lead the U.S. Armed Forces, fit the ponerized profile perfectly. This is precisely why the USA has functioned as the military arm of the New World Order since World War I.
The USA: Military Arm Of The New World Order
Because the C.I.A. (along with the FBI and NSA) monitor everything that goes on within the Executive Branch of the US government, much of the key personnel has been duly ponerized.  Of course, this changes with each incoming administration as it did under President Trump.  Nevertheless, the massive pool of government service workers, who operate at a certain level of leadership and above, have been hopelessly ponerized.
The same can be said for many corporate CEOs, COOs and CFOs, especially within the Military-Industrial Complex.  When the vast majority of Fortune 1000 companies are led by folks who fit the very same profile, what can be expected but more of the same—ponerization. Going even beyond that grouping, there is the relentless ponerization of the much larger Government-Corporate Complex.
The Government-Corporate Complex Takes Complete Control Of The USA
Even university presidents and chancellors, think tank directors, brain-trust executives, research institution heads are not at all immune to the corrosive effects of irreparable ponerization.
Remember, all it takes is one strategically placed, decision-making PSYCHOPATH at the top of any pyramid organization to corrupt the whole bloody institution.  Just look at those who were chosen by the C.I.A. to lead the many IT corporations (e.g. Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Google) and social network giants (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit).
Now that the reader is grimly aware of the systematic ponerization of American society, its continual exposure can assist with a deponerization process.  However, such a major rehab can only take place when the U.S. citizenry firmly resolves to hold accountable those who are behind the entire ponerological scheme.  In other words when the ponerized agents of Deep State are more afraid of We the People than they are of their hidden masters of PONERIZATION, things will really start to change for the better.
Perhaps it’s time to grab those torches and pitchforks!
 
What happened on 9/11 was a horrific and unnecessary tragedy, and there are multiple reasons why many victims’ families, along with half the population of America (approximately 160,000,000 people, according to the latest polls), don’t even believe the official explanation given to them by the government. It’s called evidence, and there is an abundance of it.

One example, of a seemingly endless number of ambiguities surrounding 9/11, is the topic of “false flag terrorism.” False flag terrorism is the idea that a government would stage a terrorist attack in their own country in order to justify war and the infiltration of a foreign country for their own purposes. This appears to have been the motivation behind 9/11, as well as several other ‘terrorist’ attacks which have occurred around the globe.
The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this. But, there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the “devil” only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States. – Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook
This notion of false flag terrorism has become more substantiated for a few reasons. One of them is the documents which show that Western intelligence agencies have been funding and supplying the very same terrorist groups they claim to be “fighting” against for years, documents which clearly establish links between Al-Qaeda and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). More attention was brought to this possibility in the mainstream world when the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) mentioned it in 2004.  It’s a well known fact that the United States funded Al-Qaeda 20 years ago…
There is no shortage of information when it comes to the CIA/Al-Qaeda connection, and a simple Google search would suffice to show you that.
Most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. In fact, we now have citizens taking out restraining orders against FBI informants that are trying to incite terrorism. We’ve become a lunatic asylum. – David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps intelligence officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence (You can read more about David, and find the source of that quote in this article.)
As soon as that connection was exposed, a new threat emerged… ISIS. Then, Sibel Edmonds, FBI whistleblower and founder of of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC), said what many people were already suspecting, that the United States is simply reviving the terror scare with ISIS to promote the “terror war industry.” (source
The list literally goes on and on, and I thought I would leave you with this video about ISIS, created by award-winning journalist Ben Swann, which might give you something to think about regarding the ‘terrorists’ that were supposedly responsible for the events that happened on 9/11.
Another piece of information that people are still waking up to regarding 9/11 is the fact that over 2200 architects and engineers who come from the top of the industry and academia have crushed the ‘official’ 9/11 commission report.
“All three buildings were destroyed by carefully planned, orchestrated and executed controlled demolition.” – Professor Lynn Margulis, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst and National Academy of Science member, one of many academics who has been very outspoken regarding 9/11 (source) (source)
Below is a video interview with Richard Gage, the founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth, regarding the scientific inconsistencies which have been reported as truth surrounding all three buildings.
Don’t forget about building 7… the one that collapsed, the one that was not hit by a plane  at all (touched upon in interview below).
Furthermore, the firefighters that were actually called to the scene on that day have spoken out many times. Here is an article published earlier this year with a video of two firefighters who were in the buildings at the time, having no doubt that what they were hearing was multiple explosions.
Furthermore, the response (or lack thereof) to questions about 9/11 from those within the government has been quite revealing. Politicians are constantly cowering away, refusing to answer any questions at all when confronted. Here is a great example of Vice President Biden being asked.
The list of reasons as to why people are so suspicious is incredibly long, and for the interest of keeping this article as short as possible, I encourage you to further your research if you are just starting to wake up to this kind of information.

100 years of patents reveal secret history of U.S. weather control programs


Geoengineering

(NaturalNews) Have the U.S. government and American researchers been toying with the notion of controlling, changing or otherwise adapting the weather? According to this comprehensive and exhaustive list of patents, the answer is yes.

In fact, researchers have spent the past century working to develop climate and weather control technologies. But a 1999 study by the U.S. Air Force nailed it: Within three decades, the report's authors concluded, the United States military should have perfected methods to control weather.

As reported at the time by WorldNetDaily, the Air Force study titled, "Weather as A Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather In 2025," which was commissioned by then-Air Force Chief of Staff Michael Ryan and first presented in 1996, authors predicted that the technology was within reach.

As noted by WND:

Military planners have often bemoaned the fact that during critical operations weather has been a mitigating factor. Though the U.S. military is generally considered superior to the forces of other nations and can wage war in most kinds of weather, Air Force operations traditionally have suffered the most from inclement weather like rain, fog, and other low-visibility conditions.

Click here to search GoodGopher.com for more information about geoengineering.

Weather control as a weapon

The Air Force is the branch of service tasked with most of the military's satellite and space surveillance; weather conditions can degrade the ability of sensitive surveillance equipment like infrared technology and imagery programs. As such, the Air Force has long sought to defeat natural phenomena because planners believe that without weather-modification capability, critical combat missions in the future would be hampered, to the detriment of U.S. forces.

"Achieving such a highly accurate and reasonably precise weather-modification capability in the next 30 years will require overcoming some challenging but not insurmountable technological and legal hurdles," the report said.

The authors added that altering weather patterns would eventually become an "integral part of U.S. national security policy with both domestic and international applications."

"Society will have to provide the resources and legal basis for a mature capability to develop," they wrote, signaling that the Air Force believes public reluctance and likely legal battles would be hurdles to the development and deployment of a global weather-modification system.

Today, one of the most widely pursued weather modification techniques is called cloud seeding, using in an attempt to cause rain or snow, generally to boost an area's moisture content.

"Weather modification, commonly known as cloud seeding, is the application of scientific technology that can enhance a cloud's ability to produce precipitation," says the web site Weather Modification, Inc., which says the company is able to provide aerial or ground-based cloud seeding.

The company's current projects listing includes federal and state governments, as well as academic institutes and private corporations (interestingly, the company's client list does not include the state of California, which is currently experiencing a historic drought).

Then there is HAARP, one of the better-known weather modification projects. Officially called the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, its aim is not simply weather modification but also electromagnetic warfare, according to Canada-based Center for Research on Globalization.

"It isn't just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. The European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility," said a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary, cited by Global Research.

HAARP is a U.S. military program; researchers at the Global Research center believe the technology is part of the Defense Department's "Joint Vision 2020," which seeks to achieve "full spectrum dominance" of battle spaces.

A history of covert military weather modification programs

Weather modification for military defense is not a new idea; in fact, the U.S. military attempted to create weather obstructions during the Vietnam War by dropping silver iodide particles in the clouds during the infamous Operation Popeye. Altheadlines.com describes the operation:
Between 1967 and 1972, the US air force carried out "Operation Popeye", the first use of weather as an instrument of war. Almost 3,000 flights were sent into the skies above the Ho Chi Minh Trail, where planes seeded clouds with silver iodide particles, causing storms and extending the monsoon season. "Popeye" turned the strategic pass into a bog -- and appalled the international community. In 1977, the Enmod (Environmental Modification Convention) treaty outlawed weather warfare.

HAARP as 'full dominance' weapon

According to a 2000 report by the American Forces Press Service:

Full-spectrum dominance means the ability of U.S. forces, operating alone or with allies, to defeat any adversary and control any situation across the range of military operations.

While full-spectrum dominance is the goal, the way to get there is to "invest in and develop new military capabilities." The four capabilities at the heart of full-spectrum dominance are dominant maneuver, precision engagement, focused logistics and full-dimensional protection.

Hurricane Irma Is Being Called ‘A Lawnmower From The Sky’ And FEMA Warns It Will ‘Devastate’ The Southeast

It looks like Hurricane Irma is going to make landfall in south Florida on Sunday morning.  Of course that could still change, but this is what the meteorologists are telling us at this point.  But of course the exact spot where Irma makes landfall is not so important because of the absolutely immense size of this storm.  Irma is going to cause chaos and devastation over a very large area, and just like Hurricane Harvey the recovery from this storm is literally going to be measured in years.
Down in the Caribbean, the destruction that Irma has caused has been absolutely unprecedented.  The president of the island of Saint Martin “estimated that 95 percent of his country had been obliterated”, and one resident of the island described the storm as “a lawnmower from the sky”
Witnesses described similar scenes on the island’s Dutch half. “It’s like someone with a lawnmower from the sky has gone over the island,” said Mairlou Rohan, a European tourist visiting Sint Maarten, part of the Netherlands.
That is not the sort of terminology that I would use, but without a doubt the devastation caused by this storm has been off the charts.
On Barbuda, at least 90 percent of the buildings have been destroyed
Gaston Browne, the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, said Barbuda was “totally demolished,” with 90% of its buildings destroyed. Communication with the island was cut off because of the destruction. As Hurricane Jose approaches the island, Barbuda officials are trying to evacuate the entire population of 1,800.
Now the storm is heading straight for south Florida, and FEMA is using apocalyptic language to describe what might happen…
FEMA Director Brock Long, in a Friday morning update, told a news conference there’s no question that Hurricane Irma will devastate parts of the souheastern United States:
“Obviously, Hurricane Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devastate the United States in either Florida or some of the southeastern states,” Long told a 7:30 a.m. news conference.
Some are comparing Hurricane Irma to Hurricane Andrew, but the truth is that Irma is much, much larger.  You can see a comparison of the two storms right here.
At this point, scientists are running out of superlatives to describe this storm.  At the National Hurricane Center, one expert is already labeling Irma as “the most infamous in Atlantic hurricane history”
“Irma has me sick to my stomach,” said Eric Blake, a scientist with the National Hurricane Center, on his personal Twitter account on Thursday evening. “This hurricane is as serious as any I have seen. No hype, just the hard facts. Take every lifesaving precaution you can.”
“I have little doubt Irma will go down as one of the most infamous in Atlantic hurricane history,” he added.
We shall see what happens over the next few days.
Hopefully things will not be quite as bad as the experts are projecting.
At this hour, thousands upon thousands of Florida residents are desperately trying to flee north on the highways.  Unfortunately, a lot of gas stations are already completely out of gasoline, and it is getting worse by the hour.  Just check out these numbers
In Gainesville, it was the worst: At least 58% of stations were out of gasoline as of Friday morning, according to GasBuddy’s fuel tracker.
More than 40% of stations in West Palm Beach and Miami had no fuel, while 38% of Fort Myers-Naples stations, nearly 35% of Tampa-St. Petersburg locations and more than 32% of Orlando stations were offline.
At the stations where gasoline is still available, some people are having to wait up to 90 mins for fuel.
Of course there are others that are not planning to leave Florida at all.  In fact, 82-year-old Joseph “Tony” Vincent told the Washington Post that he is quite content to ride the storm out at a local hotel…
“Hell, you’d be safer here than taking a car on those roads. You might be killed before you get to Atlanta,” he scoffed.
If Irma fizzles, Vincent said he’ll just ride his three wheeler back to his trailer. “I’ll come on home and get drinker than hell,” he said.
Hopefully he will be okay.
The warnings have been issued, and I don’t think that they could have been much stronger.  People have made their decisions about what they are going to do, and now we will see how things play out.
On another note, I had to smile today when I came across a Think Progress article entitled “The case for a Category 6 rating for super-hurricanes like Irma”.  I have been heavily criticized for saying the exact same thing that the liberal media is now talking very heavily about, but of course those outlets will not receive the same sort of criticism that I did.
In the end, the main thing is keeping people safe, and if anyone in the direct path of this storm still feels like they want to “ride it out”, I would very much encourage you to flee while you still can.
This is an exceedingly dangerous storm, and you do not want to be there when it hits.

Irma Is Being Described As A ‘Nuclear Hurricane’ That Has Left One Island ‘Practically Uninhabitable’

Irma is not just another hurricane – it is a history making storm that is going to cause up to a quarter of a trillion dollars in damage once it makes landfall in the United States.  In fact, Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine used the term “nuclear hurricane” to describe this storm to the media.  I would never use that term personally, but I am in agreement that it would be exceedingly difficult to overstate the danger that this storm represents.  According to the National Hurricane Center, Irma has been a category 5 storm for more than 50 hours, and that is already one of the longest stretches on record.
Of course if you were to extrapolate the Saffir-Simpson scale, Irma would have been considered a category 6 storm when it had sustained winds of 185 miles per hour.  This is a point that I made in my article entitled “Hurricane Irma: If There Was Such A Thing As A Category 6 Hurricane, This Would Be It”.
And just a day later, MSNBC published an article with a suspiciously similar headline: “If there were a category 6 hurricane, Irma would be it”.
So will the rest of the mainstream media attack MSNBC for saying the exact same thing that I did?
Of course not.
And will the mainstream media attack Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine for calling Irma “a nuclear hurricane”?
“We have talked to people in your city who say, ‘We ain’t going,’” CBS4’s Hank Tester told Levine.
“I hate to hear that. I’ll do anything in my power to convince them this is a very serious storm. This is a nuclear hurricane. They should leave the beach, they must leave the beach,” he said.
Of course not.
I am certainly not criticizing Levine.  Once again, it is not terminology that I would have used, but if it helps get more people to safety that is a good thing.
Just look at what has happened to Barbuda.  According to Antigua Prime Minister Gaston Browne, 95 percent of the buildings on Barbuda have been damaged or destroyed
“As it stands, Barbuda is practically uninhabitable,” Antigua Prime Minister Gaston Browne told Antigua/Barbuda Broadcasting Services. He added that the destruction on the island, which is home to about 1,800 people was “heart-wrenching” and most of it is now completely underwater.
“A significant number of the houses have been totally destroyed,” his chief of staff Lionel Hurst said. At least one of the eight deaths caused by Irma was confirmed on the island of Barbuda.  Originally, Browne’s optimistic Facebook post claimed that Barbuda and Antigua had both stood up to Irma’s wrath.  Antigua, which is home to around 80,000 people was not hit nearly as hard as Barbuda.
“It is clear that Antigua and Barbuda has stood up to a mighty test,” he wrote in the statement posted to Facebook. But he revised his opinion after taking a helicopter ride to survey the damage to Barbuda, which is just 30 miles north of Antigua. “I never contemplated any possibility that you could have such a contrast,” he said of the relative destruction. Browne also said that 95% of the buildings on Barbuda were damaged and 30% percent of the buildings on the island completely demolished when the core of the Category 5 hurricane crossed almost directly over the island early Wednesday. “Barbuda now is literally rubble,” Browne said.
And Browne put an exclamation point on things when he told Anderson Cooper the following…
“I have never seen any such destruction on a per capita basis compared to what I saw in Barbuda this afternoon,” Browne told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Could we see similar devastation in our country?
We shall see.  Right now, millions are holding their breath as they wait to see where Irma will go.  According to the Washington Post there are a couple of key factors that meteorologists are watching…
The first is a ridge of high pressure over the Atlantic, dubbed the “Bermuda High.” This system, around which winds flow clockwise, acts as a guardrail to Irma, shunting it farther south and west like a pinball, and preventing it from heading out to sea. The stronger the ridge, the greater the probability that its westward movement will continue.
The second is what’s known as an upper-level shortwave trough. This is a zone of low pressure spinning away over the southern Tennessee Valley within a dip in the jet stream, that spins counterclockwise. This will eventually capture Irma into its overall circulation, but the strength and forward speed of that feature will determine Irma’s propensity to move inland.
But of course authorities can’t wait until the last minute, and coastal communities are already being evacuated.  And we are not just talking about Florida.  Earlier today, we learned that an evacuation order had been issued for Savannah, Georgia
Georgia’s governor has ordered a mandatory evacuation starting on Saturday from the state’s Atlantic coast ahead of Hurricane Irma. That includes the city of Savannah, home to nearly 150,000 people.
Gov. Nathan Deal issued the evacuation Thursday for all areas east of Interstate 95, all of Chatham County and some areas west of the interstate. He also expanded a state of emergency to 30 counties.
Down in Florida, the clock is ticking for those that would still like to get out.  There is extremely heavy traffic on the major highways, and many gas stations down in Florida have already completely run out of gasoline
Several gas stations in Florida ran out of gas Thursday as Hurricane Irma approached the state.
Supplies fell as people heeded evacuation orders for some southern parts of the state. Last week, Hurricane Harvey crippled oil refineries in Texas, creating shortages even before Irma made landfall in the Caribbean.
As I have been saying all along, you don’t want to be there when this storm makes landfall.
There are going to be some people that figure that since they were able to “ride out” other hurricanes that they will be able to do the same thing with Irma.
Those that choose to do that will be making a tragic mistake, and it may cost some of them their lives.

THREE YEARS LATER AND THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF MH 370 JUST TOOK ...

March 8, 2014: Malaysia Air Flight 370 carrying 239 passengers from Kuala Lumpur and Beijing disappeared off the radar. We all remember it. Within the next two weeks, in the absence of a crash site, the conspiracy theories abounded, and so did the hypotheses advanced to explain the disappearance. Among the weirder hypotheses being advanced was my own "it just went 'poof'" hypothesis, which I argued on George Ann Hugh's The Byte Show. My reasons for doing so then were based, in part, on what had emerged by way of explanations from other people pondering the same mystery:
(1) there were eye-witnesses on the peninsula, and in the straits, who heard and in some cases saw, a large jet flying low and to the south east, headed toward the Indian Ocean, and definitely not China;
(2) But then, no wreckage was found in any area corresponding to such a flight path, though the Indian government and the Malaysian government did conduct some early searches in those waters;
(3) When wreckage failed to materialize at any likely crash spot, the Chinese government then made available a satellite photo of what appeared to be wreckage in the South China sea, while Chinese and Vietnamese authorities conducted searches in those waters. The Chinese quickly retracted their satellite photo, for reasons that still remain unclear (at least, to this author);
(4) Then the first conspiracy theories began to appear:
(a) The idea was quickly floated that the pilot of the flight was suffering mental deterioration, and at one point, it was suggested that this was an act of suicidal jihadist terrorism. This idea gained no traction, for in the final analysis there was little evidence of either;
(b) Next came the "hijacking" and the "bait and switch" scenarios: an American general actually appeared on Fox news seriously suggesting the flight had flown closely in the wake of another commercial airliner (to confuse Indian radar and look like one object when it was really two) over and through India, where it landed in Iran and became part of some sort of plot (which was never made entirely clear) by Mr. Putin. This story quickly fell apart when the Indian government released an Official Guffaw and Belly Laugh, saying there was no way anything could enter their airspace and they not know about it; this was followed by the "bait-and-switch" scenario of various versions, where the flight landed at the super-secret US base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where the plane was carefully repainted for use in yet another crazy scenario, which eventually emerged when MH 17, flying from the Netherlands through the Ukraine, crashed, and was, of course, blamed on Russia. This story fell apart when Russia presented convincing evidence that they had nothing to do with it.
(c) Then there was the Rothschild computer-chip theory, which argued that several passengers from an American computer chip company in Texas owned by various Rothschild interests were flying to China, and they were taken out by... well, whoever wanted to take them out to prevent secrets from being sold, stolen, transferred, or whatever.
(5) There were, of course, other hypotheses of accidental (or deliberate but covert) missile strikes by everyone from the US Navy (which I doubt, since they can't seem to steer ships to avoid collisions) to North Korea (insert loud laughter here), to the Chinese, who had no motivation for shooting down an aircraft with their own people aboard, and presumably were going to get beaucoups computer chip secrets from the Rothschilds;
(6) And finally, there were the "remote takeover" and "cyber-war" hypotheses, which, in the wake of the USS Donald Cook, Fitzgerald, and John McCain incidents, looks increasingly like a very viable hypothesis.
Throughout this whole early initial period - and I grant you, my "review" is far too short and missing many details - one nagging problem remained: No debris... anywhere. My problem here was that if there was an explosion, a missile strike (accidental or otherwise), or any similar sort of scenario, then there would be debris, and somebody's satellites would surely pick up on it. This led me (and, as it turned out, others) to consider two scenarios: either somebody was covering up the existence of a debris field because it might reveal secrets, either about the means of MH 370's tragic end, or about the satellite technology itself, or possibly both; or the satellites had detected nothing, and the aircraft had truly just simply vanished, and the latter idea implied someone with some very sophisticated and exotic technology, and was showing off, or sending messages, or commandeering the craft. Then early in 2015 well-known American radio talk show host George Noory, and well-known television actor Richard Belzer, published a book with David Wayne considering the various hypotheses titled Someone is Hiding Something: What Happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?, which reviewed the various hypotheses and evidences, including the "exotic technology-it-went-'poof'" hypothesis( q.v. p. 193)
It was the lack of debris that was so sobering, and suggestive, and I recall suggesting to George Ann Hughs when we were discussing MH 370, that a debris field should emerge soon, but that if it appeared in the Indian Ocean,  a very deep ocean, then any recovery of items on the bottom would be problematic, since it would require advanced deep diving technologies to do so. The problem as I saw it then, was that such a debris field could be salted with debris not genuinely from the flight itself.
Sure enough (and just in the nick of time, too! Whew!) debris began to wash up in Africa and Madagascar two years later, and people held up parts and pieces, pictures were taken, studies were done (which, you'll note, conveniently avoided giving any real explanation as to what had happened to the flight), and  the result was "mystery over; it didn't explode-wasn't sabotaged/hit-by-a-missile/victim-of-a-bomb-didn't-just-g0-'poof'" and obviously "didn't land in Diego Garcia/Iran/the Netherlands" which means it was not "shot down by the Russians over the Ukraine."  I'll bet Mr. Putin breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news he was no longer wanted for hijacking.  This triggered searches that were already under way off the coast of western Australia (!) to redouble their efforts, but again, no debris field was found.
This in turn has sparked a new journalism "meme": the "scientists think the debris field is really here" meme, with this or that site being proposed. To top all this off, when the "debris" began washing up in Madagascar and the pictures were being taken, an Australian pilot and a member of my website contacted me with analyses of the pictures. Now, of course, this is purely anecdotal information on my part, so take it for whatever it is worth, but his bottom line was that what was being shown as debris had a few differences from the parts of the Boeing aircraft of Malaysia flight 370. Well, I don't know, as I'm not a pilot. My problem was and remains that a debris field can be salted. And even then, assuming that the debris we're being shown is from MH 370, why is it so damnably far from any flight path that a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing would presumably take? It is this that constitutes the problem for me with the "cyber-jack" hypothesis, for presumably if one wants to cyber-jack an aircraft, one presumably wants to do so because one wants to fly it somewhere in order to gain something from the effort. But no, we're still being told the line that it crashed somewhere in the eastern Indian Ocean west of Australia. This of course, could all be just a "cover story" for the "cyber-jack" to Diego Garcia story.
One might argue that the cyber-jacki/Diego Garcia story gains some credibility here. But my problem remains now what it was back when George Ann Hughs and I first talked privately about the whole thing: Presuming the USA or UK wanted to rec0ver something on that flight, or to intercept a delivery of something to China, presumably they could have done so much earlier in the chain of delivery than they did, and could have done so in a much quieter and less obvious way than to make an entire civilian airliner disappear with no good explanation.
So the bottom line, before we proceed to part two of this story, is that (1) the story or official narrative of Flight 370 is badly mangled, and began to be so almost as soon as the flight was reported missing; this, to my mind, strongly suggests that someone knows something, and is covering it up; and (2) the debris showed up suspiciously late in the game, and wildly out of any area or reported flight path as reported by early eye witnesses, suggesting that, for whatever reason, the flight was wildly displaced from that path; (3) the fact that US Generals would appear on Fox news offering (ridiculous) explanations means that, at some level, the US knew or suspected what had happened, and was attempting either to divert attention to the hi-jacking bait-and-switch theories, or to draw attention to the inadequacy of those theories by appearing to endorse them in a ridiculous way.
And now, add to all this bizarre mix, this story, which many people sent to me. I include all three versions, though they appear to be based initially on the UK Daily Mail version:
Ponder those as you sleep tonight, and we'll get back to them tomorrow, with our own wildly geosynchronously "out there" high octane speculation...                           https://gizadeathstar.com/2017/09/three-years-later-mysterious-disappearance-mh-370-just-took-dark-turn-part-one/
