If this crude, incomplete essay plows anyone else’s already planted field, or mocks authentic intellectual work of any sort, then it is offered with advance apology.

‘The Matrix’ is a film which depicts a bizarre world of happy & productive subjects manipulated by a regime of falsehoods, all supported by exotic technology to enforce uniform order among all, without a hint of question.

Our modern pan-cultural patterns are obvious, and perhaps mimic a Matrix of power, in light of world-wide results-in view of the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of individuals and organizations, in many ways superior to or with some degree of control over, the acknowledged governmental leaders of the organized nations.

Consider:

Conventional wars between nations & ethnic groups, protracted or incidental & quick,

Social Struggles, often non-violent, of petty conflicts, & point-specific actions against small targets such as places, people or institutions, which may be carried on by Extra-National Organizations (both governmental and the now infamous NGO, Non-Governmental) which carefully foment action, economic o&/or coercive ( extra-legal) which violates all boundaries, cultural and political, in the social & economic spheres of banking, industrial trade, quasi-movements (such as environmentalism & human rights), yield evidence of being run by very diverse yet similar Elites, who operate individually & especially jointly in groups of inter-locking loyalties (with underlying mutual support).

These elites’ public affiliations are badges of honor, for them, and easily seen to be in the manner of the 19th century style of American business monopolies, the ‘inter-locking’ directorates targeted by the Yellow Journalists and burgeoning ‘trust-busters’ of US government. Restive libertarian individualists have invented a short-hand set of acronyms for these elites and the structure of their cartel(s):

NWO-New World Order, TPTB-The Powers That Be, &etc, and both their process & product is often referred to as ‘Globalism’. Locus of the true central governance is debatable, variously seen as certain cities, the UN & its many affiliated organizations, the Bilderberg Group in its annual conclaves, the Tri-lateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as others. Organizations have recently advanced to a new form of combine, for co-operatives described simply as ‘public-private’ partnerships-effectively infusing them with a gravitas and a dual authority above reproach (negating the position of those who may argue against either basis-governmental or private).

The convenience of Marxist methodology is so useful, quite beyond all the old systems, for acquisition & centralization of power and money, that it now pervades virtually all political & social philosophy, spread via the academy above all. It thrives & is vigorously employed in every compartment of modern culture, whether fully industrialized or still undeveloped. The ordinary divisions of economic & the variety of social compartments of our culture (law, church, art, &etc) have become, of a purpose, almost entirely blurred.

Modern communication being instantaneous and powerful cartels so perfected, that the old historical chronologies of the ‘natural’ evolution of political systems have been compressed to highly predictable opinion manipulation schemes, carried on at nearly the speed of light.

If anyone should doubt the paradigm, then they may not have considered the possibility or probability which is apparent in the big picture, provided real-time, in full color by the Government-Media Complex.

The truth is in the headlines, and our greatest need may be to recognize & avoid the odd agendas which distract entire groups (employing natural, pre-existing divisions), causing factional strife and diversion of our attention. The diversity of actors and action multiply our divisions and we readily adapt the schemes offered in news media, & personal discourse as logical extensions of our pre-existing views. Our prejudices are the ready tool of our would-be masters.

Agendas employed against us (to confuse) include such classics as Anti-Semitism, poor vs. rich, and left vs. right (which is entirely real but is also employed to tweak sham arguments, such as the minutia of misunderstood social & economic theories). Newer agendas turn on popular constructs such as antagonisms made of esoteric & artful perversions of our very language. “Conspiracy Theorists” is a fresh & clear example which shows the lever being applied, forcing all to opposition mode. Any challenge to a predominate narrative which is unacceptable to the power structure, may be instantly degraded by this label, now in short-hand notation ‘CT’. CT persons are readily labeled with pejorative terms such as kooks, loons and efficiently made to appear extreme-with no rational basis for their question. The CT trick has become acceptable as a most popular form of ‘pseudo-intellectual’ debate in any public venue, supplanting all discussion with the condemnation of the mob. The power of the mob effectively shuts down anyone so labeled-instantly.

Additionally, fear has become both a tactic and a desirable goal of the elite power structure-for obvious reasons.

Thousands of instances of the manipulation of language exist, but the current crop are readily seen to have two primary origins-the ‘political correctness’ from the ‘cultural Stalinism’ of the old Soviet Union, and the phenomena of the ‘mass culture’ wherein all seek the norm, and despise the unusual. These are handy tools which work well together, for control of the masses-in a world where the elites may no longer rely entirely on the authority of presumed ‘royalty’ (with a historical basis), theological orthodoxy, or even popular, politically derived powers. The masses have become in the last several centuries so large and better informed as to challenge the authority of elites, by virtue of their mere existence.

Perhaps we might best consider our circumstances, with great care,

“Minding true things by what their mockeries be”,

A couple of weeks ago, a friend sent me a video of a lady who not only speaks up against the oppression of Islam and the Obama syndicate but, is not afraid to have her singularly articulate views placed before the entire world. Therefore, I contacted her. As you will see below, Ann is fearless.

The Interview

Sher: Ann, I first want to thank you for your courage in openly speaking about those who would destroy us, while most of our elected officials seem to immediately flee and then hide from the issue. I have to say that I, along with others, was amazed and thankful at the honesty of your videos denigrating the true malevolence of radical Islam.

When we spoke, this week, you indicated that 9/11/2001 was the initial reason for your videos. But, was there anything else that spurred you on toward creating and bringing them out now?

Ann: The process of watching my country and Western Civilization go down in flames has certainly been cumulative, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was hearing Lindsey Graham proclaim his ardent desire to eviscerate the Constitution in the hopes of appeasing Muslims. In the April 3 interview on Face The Nation, Graham advocated shredding the Establishment Clause, freedom of speech, religion and assembly in the First Amendment, the right to due process in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments by saying that he wanted to “hold people accountable” and “push back” without any law to back those government actions up, and dispense with the Equal Protection clause in the Fourteenth Amendment by holding Muslims to a different standard than non-Muslims in the United States. Enough is enough. Now we box.

Sher: Most of us have seen that radical Islam, which beheads people on an apparent daily basis, begins to claim victimhood when it suits them; especially with the current White House administration. Those who burn Islam’s Quran are called “haters” while burning the Bible is considered fair game by almost everyone, these days. During your Quran burning video, you proudly bring up the fact that the pages are separated by strips of bacon. What prompted this action on your part?

Ann: First, I just thought it was rather witty. Second, Western Civilization is being beaten in this war by Psy-Ops (psychological operations). Muslims have everyone convinced, even if on a subconscious level, that having pork touch a book is going to cause the universe to implode, or for some fictional wrathful demigod to descend from the clouds and strike us all dead, or at the very least gives them moral justification to kill other human beings.

The last time I checked, bacon is made out of muscle tissue, fat tissue and connective tissue from a pig. Beyond that, said flesh is composed of water, protein and fatty acids. The book in question is made of tree cellulose (the paper) and ink, which is probably soybean and petroleum based. Having these two things touch each other is meaningless. We The People of Western Civilization need to act like the adults that we are and grow the hell up. This stone age voodoo crap needs to end.

Sher: As any of us who have read the Quran know the book is filled with Surahs teaching the killing of Jews and Christians, specifically. Yet, when any of us in the USA bring this up, we are violently criticized by the Left and liberals in general. Do you view this as the process of the current political structure working tirelessly to bring the USA into Dhimmitude* and towards forcing We-the-People into becoming a part of the Western Islamic caliphate?

Ann: I view it as the Marxist milieu vigorously defending their perceived ally. I have said all along that the Marxist-Soros machine is looking to install itself as the World Government with Islam operating as its enforcement arm.

Sher: I concur and have written for years now that Islam is planned to be the foot soldiers for the New World Order’s coming attempt at forced enslavement of the world’s people. Ann, I can’t let you go without asking about the Obama press conference Wednesday, in which he announced the “release” of his latest birth certificate–this time the long form. This one seems to have as many if not more problems than the other–at least four–short form versions of certificates of live birth that have been floating around the Internet for years. Many, including the Smoking Gun website are already calling the latest attempt to trick us suspicious if not outright forgery and there are now myriad videos showing how it was accomplished…layer upon layer of PhotoShopped chicanery.

The problem is that even on this current birth certificate, due to his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship, Obama doesn’t meet the Constitutional requirement of “natural born.” What’s you take on this, apparent, latest attempt to befuddle We-the-People?

Ann: I think that the Obama White House got very nervous between the Trump publicity, the polls showing that most Americans doubt Obama’s nativity story, and Jerome Corsi’s book coming out in a few weeks. I think they commissioned some 20-something kid to make this PhotoShopped mess, and the moron just screwed it up nine ways from Sunday.

One of the things that I have been trying to impart to my clients, customers and readers over the past several years is the fact that the people running this country, and in many high positions of power in both the public and private sectors, are truly, truly stupid and inept people. We all want to believe that leaders and people in positions of power are very smart and very capable – that’s why they are in charge. They aren’t. Stupid people are running the show, and have been for decades. The Obama White House is the epitome of this. Put Barry, Michelle and Valerie Jarrett together and they don’t collectively have the brains God gave a goldfish. These are not intelligent people. They are opportunistic, ambitious sociopaths that are simultaneously dumber than a box of hair. And that’s exactly how George Soros likes his puppets – too dumb to be any real threat to him.

Sher: Ann, thanks so much for speaking to me and my readers. Your fortitude is, indeed, a rare commodity these days!

Guest Post: Disinformation Fog Intensifies As Economic Turmoil Develops
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/18/2011 09:00 -0500

In the past few years, the concept of economic globalism has revealed itself as quite the Trojan horse; once posing as the next step in the evolution of “free market” capitalism and the savior of third world nations striving for development status, now revealed as a fiscal plague spreading delirium and destruction wherever it touches ground. There is no denying that the economies of the world are irrevocably tied to one another, but until recently, this was always thought of as a “good thing” in mainstream financial circles. Today, the great failings of engineered interdependency are painfully apparent. The EU’s many peripheral nations are dropping one after another like flies in a fog of DDT, rising economies in Asia are bloated with investment capital escaping from debt default in the West, causing impressive levels of inflation, and the U.S. is on the verge of a currency implosion as the Federal Reserve opens the floodgates of fiat in a bid to hide our system’s extreme destabilization and maintain what little international faith is left in our ability to service our rampant liabilities. Globalism has led us to disaster…

Kill the Beast. That might be critical to our very survival.

Dump them all wholesale, into the soup of reality, like rare aquarium specimen turned loose in the sea.  If they are in any way viable, then some may survive.  No order of closure, just kill the money & watch the sane ones swarm to business, and some may even establish rational academies. Here please see ‘Hillsdale College’ ( yes, there is still a school which has a sane perspective, calling itself a college ).

Academia Is Revolting!

By Bruce Walker

In the budget squeeze that every government of affluent democracies is facing, increases in tuition are causing some of the most vocal and nasty reactions. British students are storming offices, creating chaos, and threatening mayhem. Once, coal miners brought down British governments. Now, parasitical college students threaten to break the British government. California students are doing much the same, although the bias in favor of in-state illegal alien students and against out-of-state American citizens does not seem to bother these students too much. All over America, all over the Western world, academia is revolting!

It sure is. More and more, the left urges us to buy the notion that academia is indispensable to informed societies and to national power in science and technology. In fact, academia is a heavy burden, in every sense of the word, upon modern society. Over the last century, colleges (nearly all of which are now instead “universities”) have devolved from places of serious study and intellectual inquiry into vast, generally malign, priestly castes. Rote memorization of correct dogma has replaced genuine thinking. Evolution by natural selection, for example, is an iron law of anthropology, despite gaping holes which have grown wider and more serious over time. Any mind free enough to challenge the dubious theory of Darwin faces the lash, as Ben Stein showed so well in his film. Global warming, another convenient myth of corrupt academia, squelches publication of doubters and schemes secretly to hide conflicting evidence.

If that is the situation in the “hard sciences,” one needs little imagination to grasp the greater horror in the “soft sciences” and the liberal arts. History departments for the last twenty years have been in utter denial regarding the Cold War (John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr have written an entire book about this subject). Soviet infiltration of America was worse than almost anyone had believed in the 1950s. The redundant, corroborating, incontestable evidence from Venona, KGB files, GRU files, and other sources is simply overwhelming. Yet academia still pretends that rogue anti-Communists during the 1950s savaged many innocent lives.

President Obama’s catastrophic “stimulus” plan was firmly rooted in Keynesian economics, which were novel, perhaps, when his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money was published seventy-four years ago. This theory, though, is wrong. It does not predict economic behavior. Worse — much worse — is the continued infatuation of academia with the horrific thinking of Karl Marx. One might hope that a misanthrope who influenced Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Mao, and whose ideas have turned nations into charnel houses without the slightest positive benefit, might cease to attract serious, moral thinkers — and that would be true. Academia, however, long since stopped seeking serious, moral thinkers.

Why do we need academia? Knowledge and myriad new ways of learning are easy to find outside academia. Fifty years ago, my father, who had an advanced degree in science with highest honors, worked for a large corporation dependent upon cutting-edge technology. New college graduates, even the brightest ones, left college four to five years behind the frontiers of science and technology. While there is good scientific work done in many universities, it is simply wrong to assume that this system is the best way of doing research. It is, to be sure, the most comfortable for tenured dons, but comfort and theoretical breakthroughs are not connected.

Academia, we were once told, provided “well-rounded individuals.” Today it produces instead Orwellian cookie-cutter people who share the same premises, use the same lines of thought, and reach identical conclusions. Comparison of academia today with the medieval university system is unfair…to medieval universities. Controversy, contrary to modern pseudo-history, was common and tolerated in those universities. There were different schools of thought; there were independent and respected minds. Thinking itself was intensely rigorous.

“Higher education” today resembles even less the original Academy where Plato helped guide the minds of a few young Greeks. This had no curriculum, no faculty, no tuition, and no demand for conformity. Plato’s most famous student, Aristotle, developed a different approach to philosophy and science from Plato’s. Reprising that Academy would require dismantling the huge complexes and vast support bureaucracies of modern “academia.”

Academia today is like the Inner Party in Orwell’s 1984. In the book within that book, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchal Collectivism, Orwell describes specifically who would be in the Inner Party: “teachers,” “scientists,” and “sociologists” among a few others — enslaved minds captured in academia, which was already becoming a grim barracks for future overlords. The Inner Party, of course, was addicted to power, and that addiction trumped everything else, especially truth and morality. It was a church without a god, a priesthood lacking any faith, punctuated by a lust sated only by misery.

College, in the early years, was intended to teach moral purpose. The idea that this institution would be a dreadfully expensive form of advanced vocational education would have stunned professors and students in the past. The notion that academia was needed to produce militant cadres in some ideological army would have horrified our ancestors. Colleges, more than anything else, were intended to allow people to become noble and pure in ways that everyday life could not.

Now we have brats demanding that the taxes of cafeteria ladies and garbage collectors be used to provide them with their mystic, meaningless college degrees. Now we have legislative buffoonery like the “DREAM Act,” which implies that an illegal immigrant who goes to college somehow “helps” society. Even conservatives seem entranced by college, and funds to help the children of slain soldiers go to college rank high among patriotic charities. Academia, facing the same sort of financial distress as the rest of us, is revolting. Indeed, it is very revolting.

Bruce Walker is the author of a new book: Poor Lenin’s Almanac: Perverse Leftists Proverbs for Modern Life.

These problems have come to light in personal experience.  Having witnessed attempts to cope by close family & friends-people of superior intellect, I have longed for a strategy or manner of attitudinal approach for avoiding the more common reactions: alarm, disgust and revulsion over the atrocious events and circumstance which lately, daily delude us all, and truly degrade our lives.  Such difficulties blossom into further distractions.

Some classical thinkers, and more modern classically trained thinkers have addressed the issue of how best to deal with the authentic perversion of a balanced culture, resulting either from flaws in the political system or in the character of leaders.   It may be the ultimate personal difficulty, once the ordinary vicissitudes of  life have been accommodated.  Classical considerations will be addressed here in good time-but lets first consider some more recent examples and carefully look to the potential & real field of fire.

A prerequisite definition of ‘cultural perversion’ might first address the evil result of defective political processes, such as the paradigms of the left-socialism &  Marxism with their attendant atheism , unchecked authoritarianism-aka: totalitarian systems, &etc. Alternative or ancillary definitions should no doubt also include the results of so-called bad leaders-people who, for whatever reason(s), may have run rough-shod over the populace-whether their powers be ‘legitimate’ or ‘ill-legitimate’ products of the political process.

Contemporary American culture has its predominate origins in Europe, & it is especially rooted in English history, including the inputs of Scotland, Wales, & the experiences of the British in Ireland-as well as the British experiences and colonial actions concurrent to the pre-revolutionary American colonies.  England is our Mother Country for far more than political reasons.

Before this screed is dismissed as entirely too personal, or labeled simply pedestrian, my concept of a balanced culture might be addressed by example for instance by consideration of the formerly agrarian based culture of both rural & small towns in the Southern United States-and the Northern states as well-up to about 1960, as viewed in light of the definitive paradigms & historical interpretations presented by Ortega de Gassett (Revolt of the Masses)and Petrov A. Sarokin (The Crisis of Our Age), as well as the more recent & prolific ruminations of the late Mel Bradford  (Remembering Who We Are, The Reactionary Imperative, et al).  The industrialization & population increase was surely pervasive by 1960, having greatly altered the larger culture and overshadowing the agrarian base.

Be especially careful of the modern reflexive, obligatory and even perfunctory tripping over the word Southern.  Drop the dark lens & learn.

One might best begin to understand the Southern situation by reading a rather brief but all encompassing & highly detailed tour of one very ordinary family plantation, from its earliest days, up to its modern demise in the mid-20th century-by Kibler, Our Father’s Fields.   Consider as well, that the small towns, both North & South in America, are of course renowned for their decency, order & ease of life. They are, in the period referenced, by and large the best place to find a happy existence for ordinary folk.  Tolerance of eccentricities of personality and philosophy abound there, as a product perhaps of the freedom they may have offered.  I refer of course to the ‘norm’ of the small town or village, and not the extremes-which might have been dominated by singularly oppressive regimes of powerful families or commercial interests.    Even small towns & villages had some manner of centralized power structure-to a greater or lesser degree, but surely one might agree that the lesser degree was predominant, and thus we still concur on the more wholesome manner of life in that not so distant past.

Modern academics- Marxist  specifically, will be instantly repulsed by all of this, and that is anticipated.  They have their own special burdens-please see Mel Bradford’s essay, The Strange Career of C. Vann Woodward (in light of Woodward’s diatribe, The Strange Career of Jim Crow).  Walking on the Marxist side of the street has a heavy price, and it has led to an authentic perversion of the academic culture-such that reading any history published after approximately 1920 is most likely very difficult.   One must interpolate all modern data, as well as conclusions, as if running into an oblique headwind, which constantly pushes the vessel to the left.  Marxism dictates that philosophy triumph over reality.  Smiling, we are prone to say in the South  “Bless their hearts (  with the utmost of genteel intent ),   they just can’t help themselves.”

To Be Continued  . . .

Thanks to an early participant in WikiLeaks‘ operations dating back to 2006 and the beginning of 2007, who became so disgruntled with its leader’s outsized ego, lies and deceitful methods that he quit, we have a treasure trove of internal Wikileaks e-mails…

Today is the day that WikiLeaks is going to get a taste of its own medicine. Thanks to an early participant in WikiLeaks‘ operations dating back to 2006 and the beginning of 2007, who became so disgruntled with its leader’s outsized ego, lies and deceitful methods that he quit, we have a treasure trove of internal Wikileaks e-mails. I am including a portion of them here (with typos and all).

Mr. John Young, the disenchanted ex-WikiLeaker who runs his own website Cryptome.org and has posted [the internal] e-mails, removed the names of the authors and addressees on most of them. However, there is little doubt, judging from their tone and context, that the main voice of Wikileaks coming through in these e-mails is most likely none other than its founder Julian Assange, who is now being hunted by Interpol under a warrant for sex crimes that he allegedly committed in Sweden.

What these e-mails show are fanatics whose objective has always been to topple governments, including the United States government, by publishing highly embarrassing purloined secret documents. They also reveal a possible connection with George Soros, which should be investigated by the Justice Department as part of its probe into possible criminal wrong-doing in the whole WikiLeaks affair.

These e-mails should dispel the myth about the noble intentions of WikiLeak’s leaders to promote transparency and an informed public – a myth that was peddled last night on the O’Reilly Factor by ultra-liberal Alan Colmes and libertarian John Stossel.

Ironically, the Wikileaks e-mails usually begin with warnings about maintaining the secrecy of their own communications, funding sources and operations…

In one e-mail, the author talks about bringing down governments, including that of the United States, through what he calls democratized revelations and revolutionary collaborative analysis of the leaks.

Editor’s Note: If you explore only one original post today this should be the one. If, in fact, George Soros is funding Wikileaks — an organization that has admitted to publishing stolen classified and top secret documents from the US government and an organization whose actions have resulted in the deaths of US military and NATO force personnel, not to mention cooperating informants in battle theater — then the US Justice Department should initiate a full investigation and upon verifying the connection, label him as a terrorist collaborator, freeze his assets and apprehend him for trial. Enough with the Soros coup against the United States Constitution!!

Almost expelled from my senior high school civics class, for attempting a crude review of this book  in 1967, this would serve as a succinct reminder about power,  absolute or unchecked power.

My teacher, a former Marine w/out  combat experience, was later rumored to have resigned over a problem with money from a school club & he also was said to have taken a school bus filled with boys to an infamous Texas whore house.   Well, the teacher most certainly did have a rough side and who knows, maybe he was all that & more-but it is all just rumor to me.   I did however finally come to absolutely know the dark side of LBJ, both by public & private means-although I don’t think there was any other side to LBJ.  Literally, by the week of my graduation from high school in Houston,   his war  had already killed several close friends, wounded others, and altered the course of my life in a most complete and erratic manner.   His corruption was shown to me personally, via business as well.   LBJ hideously miss-pronounced the country & the war  as “vYet-nam“- I wonder if it was a mauling of the word due to his unmitigated & protracted guilt.

The book was originally published in hardback, with a forward by the illustrious M. E. “Mel” Bradford-a self made thinker & writer of political philosophy, trained classically in English Lit at Vanderbilt & then so well read in political philosophy & history as to become notorious scourge for the authentic Marxists among us.   Bradford was sort of a ‘Good Ole Boy’ philosopher, in the vein of Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams,  Bradford also being of the back-burner in the  academic kitchen.    All of these things cost Bradford a post as Chairman of the US government’s National Endowment for the Humanities-loosing out to the far softer, less courageous  Bill Bennett-another former Marine,  seemingly without combat experience, who would not Dane to ‘scare the customers’   ( which is of course, the functional motto of the NWO types who now run our corporate/government complex ).    Dr. Bennett would also advance, bureaucratically speaking, to the cabinet post of  “Drug Czar”.   Such is the quiet path to power.

Mel Bradford & J. Evetts Haley had a great deal in common-Texans of the land & the blood-with more courage than their contemporaries would accept.    In the Fall before graduation,  I would  personally discover that it just may be true that a tangible demonstration of courage is often required for acceptance, or just peace, from those who are lacking in several respects.

This review is from: A Texan Looks at Lyndon: A Study in Illegitimate Power (Mass Market Paperback)
Growing up in Texas, I found this book to be alarmingly accurate. Living in Jim Wells County, I found this book to be no less than the absolute truth. I knew most of the people mentioned, or their children (who of course were not only grown, but certainly more than adults) Mr. J. Evetts Haley and his family were banished from Texas, his book banned and illegal to own. Some things were not spoken of in Texas, but Mr. Haley told it all. (or most all) It is a shame that no one else picked up where Mr. Haley left off. But there has never been a more honest, forthright, or honestly correct book written about any of our politicians.  I found no discrepancies in names, dates, times or events in this book.  I perhaps saw just a bit more evidence than he did, or perhaps, he chose not to mention all that he had seen, but after reading the book, I rather doubt that he hid anything that he knew. This book will be passed down to my children and hopefully to their children until the entire truth will be found.

I have little to add to the above reviews, except to endorse them.

But Haley accuses LBJ of using a hired man to kill a political enemy, one who was causing him trouble in the Billie Sol Ester scandal. The man, who is named by Haley, was questioned and released.  The scary thing is that many years later, a previously unidentified fingerprint found on a box of books on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository was positively identified as being that of the man Haley names as LBJ’s personal assassin.

The Free Life: A TSA Myth in the Making

by Wendy McElroy

The “Muslim exemption” is a dangerous myth because it strengthens the TSA by making its critics appear to be foolish conspiracy theorists.

“Sexual assault” and “child molestation” are just some of the accusations leveled at the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) revealing scanners and full-body pat-down procedures, which were introduced on November 1.

At long, long last, the public is saying no to the savaging of personal liberty.

But a bizarre attack from a different direction should cause concern for at least two reasons. First, the particular accusation against the TSA is almost certainly incorrect and could dilute the credibility of other criticisms. Second, the attack seems rooted in anti-Muslim fears and feeds back into them.

The rumor: The Department of Homeland Security may exempt Orthodox Muslim women from the sexually invasive scanners and physical exams that others must undergo as a prerequisite of air travel.

On what evidence is the rumor based?

At a November 15 White House briefing, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was asked by a CNSNews.com reporter, “On the pat-downs, CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations] has recommended that Muslim women wearing hijabs refuse to go through the full-body pat-down before boarding planes. Will you insist that they do go through full-body pat-downs before boarding planes?”

Napolitano replied, “[A]djustments will be made where they need to be made. With respect to that particular issue, I think there will be more to come.”

However, the next day, at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing, TSA chief John Pistole clearly stated there would be no exemptions based on religion:

The 2010 election only means that we have made a great noise-will ‘they’ listen?

Is our run finished, has the fiscal,  sovereign ( debt )  insanity been the killer iceberg for our American Titanic ship of state?

At 3 AM reassurance begs facts.

I previously posted that we reside in a literal matrix, which is contrived of mazes of propaganda, enshrouded by fog.  We must seek truth about reality.   Economics is as physics, underlying all other similar endeavors.   Physics underlies all hard science and economics is the underlying ‘physics’ of all behavioral understanding, i.e. the social sciences.

For a beginning, we have an article posted on line, from a man of superlative education & experience, Niall Ferguson,  just published in Foreign Affairs, as well as  the extrapolated version having been delivered in a live speech-informing me that my instincts are sadly on target.   Our problem is now widely acknowledged to be DEBT, complicated by an archaic political structure-which has become the tool of foreign hostiles-Russians & Chicoms, and the lovely consortium of super-wealthy known variously as Bilderbergers, &etc, all of whom have designs on our American machine.   So large is the problem, it afflicts all developed and the developing nations.  It threatens to destroy our entire culture.

It seems apparent that we are about to default, devalue our currency, and ‘bust’ the international system, or isolate ourselves with a wall of tariffs-not necessarily in that order-and do other horrific things, as a direct result of our debt far exceeding our GDP.    America is one-third of the world’s GDP, and world-wide we already see  major currency imbalances, contrary waves of deflation in general versus some classes of commodities, a virtual zero in the velocity of cash ( in the course of ordinary business ), and artificial or contrived movement in all the levers of economics.   Here is the link to the saddest and most alarming analysis, yet a most classy work,  about our current predicament:   http://www.iie.com/publications/papers/niarchos-ferguson-2010.pdf AND see the illustrations at the adjacent site,  http://www.piie.com/publications/papers/ferguson201005.pdf Read this and weep for the Judeo-Christian West.

Niall Ferguson, Harvard University,  “I want to emphasize this evening  the non-linearity of fiscal
history, the suddenness with which things can go wrong in the realm of public finance
and from there, to the realm of geopolitics .  .  . the theme of my talk this evening and indeed
of that essay in Foreign Affairs is that very little in the realm of financial history and
particularly the realm of fiscal history is gradual or cyclical.”

Uncharted territory-Terra Incognito.   My 13th & 12th generation ancestors went there deliberately, when there was indeed a great deal of  ‘there’.   They founded & helped fund one of the most significant Tudor trading companies.  They had no idea how far or difficult would be the voyage to Muscovy-but from prior trade & adventure they had good reason to expect a return on investment.  That first voyage would cost one of the three ship’s entire crew-frozen to death. The rest prevailed, and went on far beyond their earliest destinations.   As we say here in Texas, ‘it was not their first rodeo‘-nor was it their last.

We  also have clear reassurance as simple as the promise I heard from a retired CPA & widely experienced business manager in East Texas:

“Let the whole world’s monetary system go down, and WE, the US Dollar  { as our agent specie }  will still be the prettiest girl at the dance.”

Well, that would be the hard way out, but it would in fact be a most substantial ‘return on investment’, after a few short centuries in America.

“Steady now.  Hold, & see what happens.”

We are still one-third  ( no, wait,  I’m told only 20% ) but our simple moral authority is immense,  and thus we do drive all of the world’s economy because we are free.  In fact we have the personal means at hand to enforce that freedom-making it fact.  Our apparent freedom has a hard metal behind it-and we have considerable cultural fortitude.

At 3 AM my need for reassurance begs facts. Not so difficult, but first I encounter the fresh devaluation from the Fed ( a 20% reduction in value of the $US ), then Glenn Beck hawks fear and panic on Denninger’s famous Market Ticker-”Its all going to burst . . . we will loose 20% in one move . . . then finally the ChiComs will cease to lend & all Hell breaks loose, &etc.”  Old news, really.   Here is some new news, and some fresh views of historical events, but a flawed solution-more paper money, not less, and it is followed by an alternative view-advocating hard money.  We have as of 23 November, 2010 the answer from the Russian-ChiCom axis:  They announced in St. Petersburg that all of their international transaction settlements shall  in future be paid in their own domestic currency.  China, Russia to dump US dollar for bilateral trade.

And here too :  China threatens ‘nuclear option’ of dollar sales.  They hold some 1.33 trillion’$-not so very large,  really.  Timmy Tax FauxPaux Geitner ( Treasury )  & BennyTheBernanke ( Fed Ubur-Meister ) can trump that in day or so, with one phone call to the Ft.Worth printing press.  I’ll bet they have the paper & ink already in house, over in North Tarrant County.  We could play that one-an inverse run-around. Hah!

Brave words, we shall see soon enough the true scope of this affectation of independence and challenge, from the toxic Marxists-cum dictators.

We also are awash with depictions of the paper money problems-see here:

1.   http://www.secretofoz.com/      Paper money, NO backing.  Seems we are already there.

2.   http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/printerfriendly.cfm?pffile=meetstill_content.cfm   Hard money-gold & silver, OR paper backed by metal. Caution, some gold sellers hawk this solution for mere profit-but then who knows?

But wait, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, of The Telegraph, perhaps among our favorite living Brits, a sort of astute, ‘uber-cousin’ to Americans because he is bold  & logical, has a nice balance for this cliff-hanger. He precisely echos what the old CPA from East Texas emphatically warns:

“Currency Wars Are Necessary If All Else Fails
The overwhelming fact of the global currency system is that America needs a much weaker dollar to bring its economy back into kilter and avoid slow ruin, yet the rest of the world cannot easily handle the consequences of such a wrenching adjustment. There is not enough demand to go around.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/8054066/Currency-wars-are-necessary-if-all-else-fails.html

Dear Ambrose hits the strong base key here-demand.  Our production capacity has exceeded our consumption.  Demands absence gives us much of our deflation, which comes in three types.  First benign price decline, then shortage of cash-frequently adjusted in several ‘marketing’ ways, and third-monetary deflation-governmental printing of vast sums of fiat currency is the worst.  The second & third now combine or evolve one to another-they can be seen as the Tsunami which now sweeps the globe, more powerful than all of the developed nations-yet it is still worse-oil & a few other critical commodities are yet held high-seeming at first to aggravate  all logic. }

Cousin Ambrose is so rational, & so realistic is his view that the danger seems something we may yet endure.  After all, WE ARE America.   George Soros and all of his ilk, plus the evil tribe of assorted hostiles, Marx’s ugly children in Russia & China, and their illegitimate & aggravated, adopted spawn in the Middle East, are most certainly  NOT America.   Ditto the super-wealthy who enjoy anonymity as well as supreme comfort and manipulate us seemingly at their pleasure, from exotic places like the Canton of Zug.

Know that all plays have a beginning and an end.   Might we yet adapt, evolve and endure? Is that hope supported by more than bravado?

Why do we instinctively perceive that we shall prevail?  Simple.  We ARE the Cultural Way, we are Of The Truth and we are also The Secular Light.   That is why God allowed us to develop, & to develop the Might.   That might shall be exercised, the easy way or the hard way- in kindness with civility, or anger-whatever it takes.   We shall ‘project’ our power by perception & anticipation, or in kind.  And Gen. Geo. S. Patton was correct-we do love a good fight.   Because, we also WIN.  In fact, we come from people who won their ancient & most critical fights.   We are the chosen, natural  children of the Judeo-Christian West.   It is now just the hour or so before The Bard’s “rosy fingered dawn”, and the fear which creeps into the mind must be kept at bay.

See here how that winning is accomplished:

Henry V, ACT IV, Prologue

{ Better heard perhaps, but reading allows us to entertain ideas, view the action in our mind more slowly, & thus  see how we weave our words into the blanket which forms our most audacious & superior culture }

Chorus

Now entertain conjecture of a time
When creeping murmur and the poring dark
Fills the wide vessel of the universe.
From camp to camp through the foul womb of night
The hum of either army stilly sounds,
That the fixed sentinels almost receive
The secret whispers of each other’s watch:
Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames
Each battle sees the other’s umber’d face;
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs
Piercing the night’s dull ear, and from the tents
The armourers, accomplishing the knights,
With busy hammers closing rivets up,
Give dreadful note of preparation:
The country cocks do crow, the clocks do toll,
And the third hour of drowsy morning name.
Proud of their numbers and secure in soul,
The confident and over-lusty French
Do the low-rated English play at dice;
And chide the cripple tardy-gaited night
Who, like a foul and ugly witch, doth limp
So tediously away. The poor condemned English,
Like sacrifices, by their watchful fires
Sit patiently and inly ruminate
The morning’s danger, and their gesture sad
Investing lank-lean; cheeks and war-worn coats
Presenteth them unto the gazing moon
So many horrid ghosts. O now, who will behold
The royal captain of this ruin’d band
Walking from watch to watch, from tent to tent,
Let him cry ‘Praise and glory on his head!’
For forth he goes and visits all his host.
Bids them good morrow with a modest smile
And calls them brothers, friends and countrymen.
Upon his royal face there is no note
How dread an army hath enrounded him;
Nor doth he dedicate one jot of colour
Unto the weary and all-watched night,
But freshly looks and over-bears attaint
With cheerful semblance and sweet majesty;
That every wretch, pining and pale before,
Beholding him, plucks comfort from his looks:
A largess universal like the sun
His liberal eye doth give to every one,
Thawing cold fear, that mean and gentle all,
Behold, as may unworthiness define,
A little touch of Harry in the night.
And so our scene must to the battle fly;
Where–O for pity!–we shall much disgrace
With four or five most vile and ragged foils,
Right ill-disposed in brawl ridiculous,
The name of Agincourt. Yet sit and see,
Minding true things by what their mockeries be.

Here is a freshly issued listing of conditions and actions which achieves a  humorous view of the chronology of some recent events-it may give insight to the people & events which are currently our ‘problem’, and I find no reason to suspect ulterior motives from The Iowa Hawk:

I have just finished my  first read of a rather new, yet very old fashioned biographical history text,   Henry VIII’s Last Victim,   ( Vintage Books  London, 2006 ) by Jesse Childs, a lady with a fresh Oxford education ( Brasenose College ).  Her work obviously avoids the propensity for modern ‘data’ based historical analysis,  and one soon learns that this rather thorough biography of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, is a pleasantly readable story which actually serves to embellish other biographies with factual detail about many people,  as well as offering  very useful footnotes at page bottom to clarify cultural and other potential confusions.  It is meticulously  documented from many original sources and modern scholarship.   It shows the old saw that there is indeed, in the affairs of  ‘mankind’ ( or womankind, or humankind ), not anything really new.   Perfidious double-dealing it seems, may always be the downfall of us all.  Greed, lust for power &  sex, and a compelling desire to simply enjoy a higher status were all clearly present in Tudor Times-as well as now.

Today we are played as if we all have the sort of  minds created by modern, vacuous, viciously conceived ‘state’ schools-and we might be driven as a herd, by the game of control from above.  Power does indeed corrupt, in any era and all circumstances.  Indeed, the very concept of the ‘mass’ is a recent phenomena, just achieved in the last few centuries.   It  may be said that our current ‘masses’ are  very easily led-at least the methods abound.

http://gulagbound.com/5839/secret-code-in-obama-speeches-why-should-this-not-be-examined

Update ~ 10/2: Following is en explanation of this analysis, by Citizen researcher and blogger, JoAnne Moretti, republished from her blog, September 27, 2010, 3:51pm. While it is very initial research, it may show a technique that is more than merely natural style of speech.

Some have speculated during the 2008 campaign that Barack Obama was using some of the techniques of neuro-linguitstic programming (NLP) also called by some, “conversational hypnosis,” in order to gain a bit of a subconscious edge. Could that be another explanation?

Recently the team and I came across a discovery that was hidden in plain sight.

In the course of a conversation, Obama’s speech patterns came up.

We noticed he put emphasis on certain words.

We assumed it was similar to the techniques used by hypnotists, Lamaz class councilors, or a learned public speaking skill.

The person I was speaking with asked if I had written down the words he highlighted. I had not.

The next day, Obama gave his recent speech to the UN. It was in the course of writing the words that we discovered there was a speech hidden within the speech.

We poured over more speeches and were shocked at how easily we could see what we had been missing all along.

“Hiding in plain sight”!

I will give you an example and you can see for yourself.

This is one of Obama’s early speeches. It was recorded in 2008. The message is very benign. This is a training speech. He is teaching his minions how to listen to him.

Here are the words I captured. Listen for them. You will see what I mean. I will summarize the subliminal speech after the vid.

(Skip past shout-outs)!

Good Ohio. Know 2008 campaign Cleveland hopeful.
We pulled it off.
In time hoped divide states.
Proud Americans believe.
Now say expose parties.
Much specific reigned
Taxes, regulations, trade
Back future energy
Idea: Market rules self
grow time illusion profit bonus
Economy weaker.
Growth 2000-2008 any year
incomes failing
Health care forced poverty
homes failure
Surplus ran economy
Different idea.

Putting it together into a hidden speech, it would read like this:

Good to be in Ohio.
I know the campaign in Cleveland is hopeful we pull it off.
In time we hope to divide states.
Proud Americans believe in me.
Now I say we expose the parties.
Be specific. Talk about the reign, taxes, regulations & trade.
Get behind future energy idea.
The Market rules itself. Give it time to grow the illusion of profit and bonus.
The economy is weaker.
There was growth 2000-2008 more than any other years.
Now incomes failing. Health care forced poverty. Homes placed in failure.
Surplus ran the economy.
Different idea:

Now let’s do the first couple minutes of his Gulf speech. Listen for the intonations on certain words:

Gulf speak home.
Recover abroad
assault ripped rig
17 mile leak tested
Chu energy advice scientists & oil co
90% summer stop.
Already disaster event damage
One month millions epidemic
Make mistakes.
Fight long.
Pay whatever (Stop tape at word “whatever”):

Here is what he said in his Gulf, sub-speech :

While we merely speak at home, there will be recovery abroad.

I’ll speak about Al Quaeda tonight.

An assault ripped the rig. So far 17 miles have been tested for leaks.
Look to Chu for energy advice for scientists and oil companies’ questions.

By summer we can have it 90% stopped.

Already it is a disastrous event.

In one month the damage will affect millions, in epidemic proportion, for years.

Mistakes will be made. The fight long.

We will pay whatever is necessary.~

By now you should be seeing and hearing what I am talking about.

Last example. Here is what he said to UN:
The time is here and we must set our priorities as nations regarding war and peace for the sake of the cities and the global community. There are no boundaries and Wall Street has defined the economies which blow through the continents and cause hatred. The world is inter-connected and these challenges for the most part are done, we have built a world to focus on the single economy and the new age has started for all nations. The demands through finance will be determined through the G-20 to broaden yet merge against the resistance. But the resistance will expand so we need to continue to plant the effective seeds to draw down the resistance and remove from the transition their partnerships.
Afghanistan is at a breaking level, yet the middle east has the capacity to move towards the objective and pursue the extremists against the one common nation including Russia. For decades, our weapons with the help of the United Nations and treaties including the Non-Proliferation agreement and the objective of Islam have given us the accountability through the UN resolution number 1929. It is clear the international community will combat the resistance and Climate Change objectives at home and inside all economies have the power of support so it is unshakable amidst all we see. The pledge of 2 states living side by side is the demonstrating factor against divided rejectionists that are working to disrupt the gaps. One sovereignty is too great and is made common through blood and symbols.
In a month, the achievements will be known worldwide, it is fast sure, but this seizure requires all to see the thousands reasons for its existence. There will be threats of slaughter and our world will stand in conflict, this is our time, for ourselves to reach our sovereign destiny. There is no recession of our quest. This urgency is our first action on the declaration that all lives even the pragmatic man and child are the touchstone along with all their values and will not be denied through our tyrannical and adversarial quest. The Taliban has and is showing us how to smother the old culture so that stronger shapes to the rotting economies through tapping and bribing and exporting every society will give us the government arc of the all powerful.
South Africa will march with us and promote through the internet the rights and the societies will choose to be among the billions of people that will bind us all together. The G-20 has shown the contrast so now the reform and promise is now the thread and accountability we seek. No one, all will specify and energize the technology base which will be indispensible for our quest. We welcome this time and the elections will invigorate us to the point of violence to appeal to those who oppose us. We are emerging and while there will be silence elsewhere, recall the decades of how Iraq and tyrants have clouded what we are about to achieve as our founding times. Hope and promise for every and all is the proof of a greater world.

Great article,and you’ve really put it all together…the messages within the speeches, the gestures and body language. Once people understand it, it’s easy to recognize. These are teleprompter speeches wherein certain words are highlighted and then emphasized; as you point out, the secret message is sent out to his comrades, whomever and wherever they are. Very scary messages. Thanks so much for getting out this information.
