What Will You Do When Government Tyranny And Terrorism Work Hand In Hand?
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
I was in the middle of working on an article covering real U.S. economic stats versus manipulated statistics when the Charlie Hebdo shootings took place. And though I knew the implications of the event would be far-reaching, I was originally undeterred from my financial subject matter. I had already covered in previous articles the inevitability of ISIS attacks on Europe and America, including the “warnings” of Saudi Arabia in August of last year that jihadists would target the EU within months and the U.S. a month later.
In September of last year, ISIS publicly urged attacks on French and U.S. citizens.
I have also published extensive analysis on the covert funding and training of ISIS militants by Saudi Arabia and Western intelligence agencies, including my article “The Time Is Ripe For A False Flag Attack On American Soil.”
The bottom line is the Paris attack was not surprising in the slightest. I have no doubt whatsoever that such attacks are going to increase in frequency, that the U.S. will be hit soon, and that our government will do little to nothing to stop such tragedies. However, a Reuters article titled “White House to hold global security summit Feb (sic) 18: U.S. official” caught my eye. And after reading it, I’m afraid I have to set aside my financial piece until next week and break down the insanity that is now taking place in the world of geopolitics.
It is clear by the language being used by the political elite that the “global summit” called in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks is about far more than radical Islamic terrorism. Set aside the fact that our government essentially created ISIS in order to destabilize Syria. Set aside the fact that globalist middlemen like John McCain and “former” covert ops goons like Gen. Paul Vallely have met directly with groups like the Nusra Front that are providing support for ISIS. Set aside the fact that Saudi Arabia has been openly funneling cash and arms to Syrian terrorist factions tied to ISIS, and realize that the mere existence of ISIS, regardless of its origins, is being used as a rationale for the erasure of civil liberties and the establishment of martial law on both sides of the Atlantic. Such federalized reactions CANNOT be allowed to continue, regardless of the threats each nation faces.
As far as the Reuters article is concerned, one does not need to read very far between the lines to see the true message being conveyed.
First, the focus of the summit is not necessarily indicated as “Islamic terrorism.” In fact, the word “terrorism” is barely mentioned. Now politicos are shifting their language to the term “extremism,” which is far broader in its implications. It should be noted that while the terrorist label has been bandied about rather liberally by both the Bush and Obama administrations, “extremism” offers greater cover for governments to persecute or attack political opponents. A terrorist is generally someone who initiates or at least plans a large-scale attack designed to illicit a fear response in a population. An extremist, on the other hand, could literally be anyone who holds views or initiates activism outside acceptable forms of mainstream thought. Attorney General Eric Holder did not use the words “terrorism” or “jihadist” in his announcement of the global summit in February; he used the phrase “violent extremism”:
We will bring together all of our allies to discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world…
Throughout history, “violence,” according to governments, is often attributed to ideas as well as actions. The point is the change in vocabulary over to the extremist label is not accidental or coincidental. The establishment is conditioning the public to think in broad terms and to identify numerous groups as the enemy, rather than focusing on radical Islam. As I have said for years, Islamic terror is nothing but an advantageous excuse for governments to make war on all of us. Do not forget, constitutionalists are often referred to in the mainstream media and by Orwellian institutions like the Department of Homeland Security as “extremists.” How long before we are artificially linked as being suspect? How long before Charlie Hebdo-style attacks come to the U.S.? How long before the liberty minded are categorized as accessories to terrorism due to our anti-corrupt-government philosophies?
It is disturbing to witness the lack of conviction in principles in the average person. Self-proclaimed leftists railed against the degeneration of civil liberties and constitutional protections under George W. Bush, but rallied in support of the same weakening of freedoms under Barack Obama. Self-proclaimed conservatives today are shocked and infuriated by the trampling of the constitution through executive orders displayed by the Obama administration. Yet, I suspect that many of them will willingly jump on the fascist bandwagon in the event of “Islamic” attacks on American soil. Neither side seems to grasp the reality that the disruptions of liberty we enact in the name of stopping jihadists today will eventually fall back on the rest of us tomorrow.
The lockdown of the populace is already ramping up. The EU is currently discussing the creation of a European Passenger Name Record database (national ID database), meaning officials hope to create a centralized database with a file on every single citizen. Think the no-fly list is a terrifying concept? Wait until it becomes publicly accepted for all web comments, Facebook posts, and blog posts to be added to an ongoing record that determines whether you are allowed to travel. Wait until it becomes a mainstream notion that every travel destination you visit is tracked, recorded on permanent record, and scrutinized by some pencil necked bureaucrat who then determines whether or not you are suspect. Apparently, French officials are supportive of the idea. And given the proclamations of “unity” surrounding the upcoming summit, I suspect actions undertaken in Europe will eventually be exported to the United States. Reuters reports:
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after the meeting that European interior ministers had agreed to boost cooperation in an effort to thwart further jihadist attacks.
“We all agree that we need to put in place better control on certain passengers, on the basis of objective criteria and with respect for fundamental liberties and without disrupting cross-border travel,” he said.
He said Europe needed urgent progress in establishing a European Passenger Name Record database, which would facilitate the exchange of data about passengers between member states.
“We are convinced of the need for such a tool, to follow those who travel to terrorist operating theaters or who return from there,” he said, adding that this database would also be useful in the fight against other serious crimes.
Unfortunately, travel is the least of our concerns. Free speech is a primary target for the elites, and the Internet is clearly outlined as a threat by politicians claiming concern for public safety. This comes in the form of one of the oldest rationalizations for tyranny - the trade-off between freedom and security. The French argue that while free speech is important, some “exceptions” must be made in order to thwart extremist ideas:
Cazeneuve said the Internet needs to remain a space for free expression, but that Europe should fight against abusive use of the web (sic) to spread hate speech, anti-Semitic messages and the recruiting vulnerable young people for violence.
“We need to work more closely with Internet companies to guarantee the reporting and if possible removal of all content that amounts to an apology of terrorism or calls for violence and hatred,” he said.
Who gets to determine what speech amounts to an “apology of terrorism?” Who is the all-benevolent and wise sage who gets to decide what we can and cannot say? Will he be fair and just? Or will he use the power of censorship to attack any and all websites critical of the establishment? What do you think the most likely outcome of such legal precedence would be?
Again, how long before websites like the one you are reading now are vilified by the extremist label? How long before liberty-minded speech is categorized as violent speech or hate speech?
Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the White House are now kindly warning the public that terrorist “sleeper cells” have been activated and that some are present in the United States. On CNN, Feinstein said:
So I think this calls for vigilance. It calls for seeing that the national security organizations of our country, the intelligence community is funded fully, is directed ably, is cooperating with whether it be British intelligence, French intelligence, German intelligence, as we do.
And the French are good at it, and so are the British and the Germans. So, we can even be more active in terms of doing those things which enable us to find terrorists, to see who they’re communicating with in this country, and to track that.
She means mass Internet and phone surveillance, the same National Security Agency surveillance exposed by Edward Snowden, which now has a convenient justification in the form of an ever-present fear of terrorism.
Finally, it is only a matter of time before a militarized response is activated in the U.S., just as it has been in France. One shooting event has led to the fielding of over 10,000 French troops on French soil, as well as an extra 5,000 heavily armed police.
Frankly, this is where I — and many people like me — draw the line. Martial law is not acceptable under any circumstances. I don't care if we one day see a mushroom cloud over an American city, there is no measure of government security (false security) that is worth the degradation of essential liberties. I suspect the loss of liberty, usurping of the constitution and the deployment of the military on U.S. soil would trigger revolution — a revolution I’m sure the establishment would attempt to marginalize as mere terrorism. Ultimately, though, there is no other option.
As I have been discussing constantly over the past several months, community preparation and organization comprise the only action plan worth the effort and energy at this time. The French are disarmed and utterly socialized. Millions of them march in Paris in a display of solidarity, but solidarity behind what solution? Even more government; the same government that created the problem in the first place? Even more centralization? The globalization of despotic security policies? The French have dug their grave, and now they are going to have to lie down in it.
Americans do not have to follow the same path.
We do not need more government. We do not need more surveillance, more police militarization or more troops on the streets. What we need is to take back responsibility for own defense. The French government could not or would not protect the staff of Charlie Hebdo, and the U.S. government will not protect you. That means you must train to protect yourself and those you care about. Whether we face a false flag attack or a legitimate terrorist action, the response is the same: Fight back. It is times like these that separate the courageous from the cowardly; those with principles and conscience versus the treacherous and self-serving. Make no mistake; as I wrote in my last article, many illusions are about to be shattered. You can be caught up in the storm as a helpless spectator and victim or you can become a barrier, a wall of defense against the dangerous riptides. These are your choices. Choose wisely.

Not a God Damn Thing, they are not hungry enough...................yet
This movie has been played before in another country and the gullible masses were fully supportive of their government.

Uh, government tyranny and terrorism do work hand in hand.
Thought much about 9/11?
Why did building #7 fall down as the evening news was playing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mamvq7LWqRU
We've always been at war with Eurmomma
Awesome
This two-headed monster of tyranny and terrorism is very similar to what worked in Germany about 80 years ago.
fear, is the basic human weakness that plays out daily. insurance, hungar, not enough bullets(hehe), to name a few. the script will never change. and yes, there will be another event. boston comes to mind. whatever the event, it is predictable that "we the protectors are here to help you". never mind they are the mop up crew...what has been prevented? what did they perpetrate-ah therein lies your answer-they(gov)are the enemy, from within, inour face. know your enemy...
i am not giving one shit other than typing these words, cause fear don't control me.
The Paris attack was not a false flag propaganda exercise, although the photoshoot after definitely was. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=324_1421065729 Hmmm, and the police chief who shot himself out of 'instantaneous depression' at having to fill out an EU arrest warrant for Obama, hmmm... maybe he'd been depressed for a long time and this particular task just tipped him over the edge. Hmmm, and ISIS took responsibility for the attack after all, except of course they don't call themselves ISIS. Hmmm, and of course these Algerians were loudly shouting "Allaahu akbar" on completely empty streets so it's very fortunate that a couple of hidden mobile phones managed to capture their cries, otherwise no-one would have known. Hmmm, and an AK47 round would take someone's head off their shoulders at 200m but the bullet bounced off the french copper's head and so he must have died of shock. Hmmm, like most professionally police officers he was trained to lie down on the ground and turn his back when someone hostile approaches with a weapon, unlike us cowardly civilians who would just set off running at full pelt.
Oh yes, this story clearly adds up and I don't understand why poeple are complaining, after all there's lots of new jobs in the USA. Ain't life grand, haa.
I'd be careful about the suicide-after-Obama-arrest-warrant story.
It came from Sorcha Faal, an infamous name for years.

Newsboy,
Now now, we all know, it was just God's Guiding Hand that brought #7 down in it's own footprint, keeping us all safe...
Do I really need the tag? <sarc>
As I often point out, you are statistically more likely to be killed by your government, than the boogeymen they've created.
You are correct. But as I've said before. Americans are the most cowardly and pussyfied group of people on the face of the planet, and Europeans are no better. We have sold our freedoms for an illusion of security, freedoms that once they are gone, never come back without a fight, and it's a fight people aren't willing to have, since they are happy munching on Doritos sitting on their fat asses in front of the TV, believing themselves to be exceptional, and that they will be the ONLY society in history to go down this path and not have it end horribly. It's amazing really, all it takes is one little threat from some imaginary terrorist hobgoblin(Mencken) and they will clamor for the nanny state to save them without ever realizing why this terror threat even exists in the first place.
In the Land of Blind Dupes the one-eyed psychopath is King.
You are correct as well. I would only ask, "who was responsible for our education?"
Good point. All I would add is that there are two approaches to dealing with terrorism. One is with violence, which we are educuated to believe is the only approach. The other is through non violence. History has shown that humans only resort to terrorism out of desperation. This means it can be fought by making sure people have enough so they are no longer desperate. The raping of Arab lands by the west has been largely responsible for the growth in terrorism in that region so why not stop this. Stop training terrorists, stop arming terrorists, stop middle east oppression by western states and maybe the problem of terroroism will stop as well.
It ain't rocket sciennce, for chrissakes. Chris Hedges has been there:

@ A Nanny Moose - you are correct that Education is the key. The psychopaths took over the education system in the US over a century ago. 'Schooling' with 'defense' spending are the sectors which get the most dollars. This wasn't an accident. Nor is the complete control of mainstream media propaganda & the push to shut down the free internet. People who know nothing of real history and have no critical thinking skills are easily manipulated. As Jefferson said, a people cannot be ignorant and remain free.
"who was responsible for our education?"
You are.
Ps 19: 1The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky abovea proclaims his handiwork.
2Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4Their voiceb goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
Col 2:
2that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.
It's become increasingly clear, Caesar or God, we must choose.

Im gonna party like its 2015...
with so many cyber attacks, it is accumulate the only thing that won't be affected by it.
because you know what will be affected by it..bitcoin.
party like it's 1999?
The word for 2015 is: SHAMBOLIC!
They have a long coast. You know the gun running is picking up. There will be a vicious war. Charles Martel had it easy.
Yep. Basically the same thing we've been doing since 1913. Not a goddamn thing.
"Americans do not have to follow the same path."
Dont give up your guns!
.....and dont be afraid to ...... .......!
So which is it?
“Americans do not have to follow the same path. We do not need more government. We do not need more surveillance, more police militarization or more troops on the streets”
But Americans already have more surveillance and more police militarization than French : No Patriot Act in France, no NSA octopus ...
Socialism is like a black hole
Once past the event horizon escape becomes impossible
Only a total collapse and reset remains
Venezuela is there now
France a couple more decades
Your predictions are generous. TPTB are going to shake the snow globe and rearrange some borders sooner then you think
Probably, but do borders matter anymore?
Borders just delineate separations between different tax farms (countries.)
Most Western countries are now socialist, and the only difference between them is how close they dare get to the edge of the event horizon of the black hole that is socialism.
Socialism has proven so efficient at stealing wealth from producers to channel mostlty to TPTB that Western countries veer off the edge of the event horizon just long enough to reboot the economic engine before relapsing into plunder mode; and some like Venezuela and France terminally cross over.
this is not socialism, this is tyranny. socialism is just the topping.
we are way past the event horizon, we are reaching singularity as everything is speeding up and merging into fascist one world government beyond any escape.
europe is toast now. US is not, at least not yet. because, apart from europeans, you still have some vague memory of individual freedoms in your blood. europeans have never understood or appreciated individual liberties. this concept is foreign for them. they only know the the collective freedom from the common outside enemy. europe has transformed from feudal system directly into socialism, which, unfortunately, is the peak of their political culture and economic development. and now, everybody will warmly embrace the trans-european spy system and censorship. everybody has just gone raving mad here.
@layman_please - I had some hope that the Swiss would show that there's some good sense and love of freedom still to be found in Europe. Their recent vote regarding gold backing for their currency dissapointed that. It seems the Swiss are as easily victimized by propaganda as everyone else. The common factor in Western culture seems to be ignorance & stupidity.
The candle of Freedom still burns in the hearts of some Americans; it's an inheritance from an earlier, better age. But it seems like a very dim light in the dark deep cave which engulfs most of the country.
I too was very disappointed with the Swiss vote.
I'm still an optimist though, about certain parts of America, and Russia believe it or not.
I will move to wherever freedom breaks out.
I am hoping that the Libertarian Sea City project is reborn.
Other than that, I'm siding with Skynet and Terminator.
I agree with you that all the isms are just a topping and all are used as cover for fascism. There are differences between the "capitalism" of America and the "socialism" of Europe, but those differences are only a matter of degree.
The oven of statism may be conventional or convection, but they will both roast you, in slightly different fashion and speed though.

Tyler for President, introducing the "Fight Club Party"
Meh, if Ron Paul was too 'out there' for most people, I don't think there is much chance of that. Besides 'anarchists of the world unite' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?
Besides 'anarchists of the world unite' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?
As long as it's done voluntarily and not at the point of a gun, no.
As far as I am concerned, we are already living in anarchy. We always have been. We just happen to be outnumbered by folks who probably would not care about The Non-Aggression Principle or any other rhetoric.
6 of 1 half of a dozen
Dealing with statists is our cost of doing business/survival.
Not necessarily. When they start to make rules together, yeah. However, give a group of anarchists a cause, and they come out of the woodwork.
That's likely why Ron Paul has always focused on education and is working on his homeschooling cirriculum project now. Ignorant people will never have the wisdom to be free.
Many of us thought Ron Paul was 'too out there' at one time - until we actually investigated what the man was talking about all those years. Personally, I think it will take a total collapse before people wake up here. It is at least as likely that people will clamor for a dictatorship rather than Freedom.
"... take a total collapse before people wake up here."
The statists are working overtime to delay a collapse. They want to continue the slow slide into total tyranny. Eventually, if a collapse happens, they will have a majority of befuddled and brainwashed people to beg the government to save them.
Collapse? or purge?
<<Ignorant people will never have the wisdom to be free.>>
Not everybody wants to learn. I have encountered enough people who are adamant about following regime-stream media narratives. They seem to have filled their spiritual void with a stupid naive faith that defies all logic.
I do not think the future looks bright nor safe where I live. However, I like to postulate hopeful post-apocalyptic scenarios.
The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of people to rob. Yeah, we heard that many times. Ergo, I would like to think that on a long enough time line, there will be nothing left to rob on this planet. The parasites and the predators will not survive.
If it means back to sticks and stones, so be it. Whatever rises from the ashes will necessarily be good. I will see it as a return to the garden.

"Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the White House are now kindly warning the public that terrorist “sleeper cells” have been activated and that some are present in the United States. "
The Senator is indeed correct. Her terrorist cell has be active and present in the United States for quite some time now and has effectively visited widespread damage upon the country.
Its like these goons in power are studying the playbook page for page...

"Islamophobia -01." Sickening...and incompetent policy 101. Hey Diane! Where are the WMD's in Iraq?
Oh, I get it. We just hate Muslims and want them all dead.
Wow...quite the progress we've made here.
Islamophobia is something that's been in the Anglo-American playbook for a very long time. After the Filipinos helped win the war against Spain & sought to set up their own democratic country, the U.S. backed the Muslims in order to foment conflict and disunity.
That happened over a century ago.
Nothing new in terms of tactics.
Names, addresses and telephone numbers, please?
or maybe Feinstein can do a special on America's Most Wanted and ask for help from the public.

"Um, no...they're Saudi Arabians sir...but what's the difference" right?
I thought they already were....
I find the current regime (republicrats) and their standing armies and USstasi much more frightening than hygenically challenged mohammedans with AKs. It's that simple really.
Well we are in THEIR country.

And the looming most important question to this topic will be how America reacts to yet another 9/11 catastrophic event within it's borders which has built several new federal security agencies amd alliances that we both know and don't know about that we have paid more than $5 trillion for over the past decade which has included the plunder of at least 4 Middle Eastern Nation(s) that has killed millions and one Eastern European Country that has absolutely nothing to do with the "war on terror"... At least not yet!
To the men and women in uniform that will fight for the next biggest of lies which will ensure yours as well as most of your fellow American(s) deaths...
Are you ready?...
And if your ready to question the narrative this time, what are you prepared to do in order to change the course your government has chosen for you?!!!!
Letter to a Young Army Ranger (From an Old One): Why the War on Terror Shouldn't Be Your Battle
http://commondreams.org/views/2015/01/13/letter-young-army-ranger-old-on...
Fine read. But I wish the Rangers would have put Pat Tillman on the pedestal he deserves after the truth of what they did to him in the fragging and subsequent cover up of his death. The legacy and truths that individual carried to his grave were known by several in the Army and it's one of the worst chapters not only in the lie that continues to be the war on terror but for the U.S. Army as a whole.
They should have set the standard by making McChrystal an example and when they failed to do so they disgraced themselves!
You know how absolutely out of control this Country is when an asshole like Clint Eastwood does a movie about the worst psychotic lunatic the military has with his tomb "American Sniper" instead of a story about a millionaire football player that gave up everything to serve his Country and then finding out the abject lies of his government that inevitably got him murdered by his own!
Clint Eastwood may you fucking rot in hell you Zionist Jew sellout piece of shit!
I see no difference......
When and where do I signup for that revolutin?
Got me riled!
Well hopefully these sleeper cells have the 500 clowns in congress and 50 governors home addresses. After all these years, You would think they would realize killing a bunch of sheep is getting them nowhere.
These European leaders that were in Paris did nothing to prevent the attack. Everybody knows these returnee fighters from the ME are ticking timebombs but they did nothing to prevent them fromo coming back like taking away their passport and kcik them out if they come back. In the past it was normal for government to do that when somebody went to fight for someone else.
What they will take away are more liberties and your right to 'offend'.
The US is no longer the land of opportunity; the cake has been carved leaving only a few crumbs for any new comers.
Nearly all the land is now earned by a few families; the big corporations now run all the businesses and it has formed its billionaire aristocracy who control Government for their own ends.
It is an empire in decline.
The dynamism of the American dream is no more.
Asia now comes into its ascendency where a new cake is up for grabs and newcomers are welcome.
The billionaire aristocracy of the US now owns your cake and has no intention of letting any of the pieces go.
It is the way of things, empires come and go; the UK was the global superpower 100 years ago.
Once the cake is carved the end is nigh.
You can get rid of Government, but the billionaire aristocracy still own everything and will just rule directly rather than their current intermediary.
Governments were seen as the solution in old Europe to take power away from its old aristocracy.
The billionaire aristocracy are democratically weak and their control is through the two main parties in the US.
You just need new parties for the people.
Their major coup in recent times has been getting the muppets to believe in the trickle down effect to give themselves tax cuts.
There was no trickledown fron the old aristocracies of Europe to the poeple.
There is no tricle down from the very rich in third world nations to the poor.
You have been conned.
OK muppets we are the "wealth creators" (not the aristocracy).
We are off-shoring most of the jobs in the US for your benefit not ours.
fuck off

Russell Brand, another Eurotrash one world consciousness "celebrity" calling for us all to look past "distinctions" while simultaneously promoting the lie of the false left/right paradigm. Notice that jackass didn't once mention Barack Obama's considerable role in the escalation of terrorism. Is it all caused by Dick Cheney and Rupert Murdoch? Is it really all about money and oil? Or maybe, just maybe, his beloved, benevolent socialist ideologues are just as culpable as the fascist ones? It's funny because, many of us are laughing at him just as hard as he is laughing at Fox News. He is the same as Fox News, giving half the story, half the truth, while ignorantly believing himself beyond the veil of deceit that is actually wrapped tight around his empty head.
"Notice that jackass didn't once mention Barack Obama's considerable role in the escalation of terrorism."
You will have to watch this Trews episode where Obama's role in escalating terrorism is noted and shown to be counter-productive.
By the way,
stop laughing so hard, grab some sack, ambition, and propose solutions.
thanks
i will wait for your response until a point where i will stop waiting.
i'm extreme.
most of the mechanisms for rounding up the extremists are already in place. the mop-up action for the few flying under the radar will be inefficient.
the web is the key and that is their main goal although they are working on many fronts simultaneously.
boycott the web if it is limited. cancel your subscriptions to your internet provider if they change your contract to your disadvantage. shun amazon et al. should you feel intruded upon.
stack your firewood
Absolutely spot on. The scary realization i've come to is that the generation in their formative years during 9-11 and onwards will be most accepting of this new reality because they have been conditioned through media and entertainment for years to accept it. They literally dont have any life experience of living in an environment that offered true freedom and liberties like the older folks have. They are ignorant of such fact, and hopelessly programmed already. Those who get sick of it and move to a country they think is immune to these shenanigans is only buying time, because they will bring war to everyones doorstep whether a country desires peace and isolation or not. Russia and france are the latest examples.
As George Carlin stated: Welcome to the Freak Show. Here's the forecast: http://bit.ly/14CLHri
The two headed tyranny of despotism and terrorism in the world today is a consequence of the unholy alliance around the OIL/MONETARY partnership built around the BIG STICK of Pax Americana.
If that comes apart the HFs feeding the ME terrorists lose their money line.
Now ask yourself who RUNS the world OIL/MONEY Combine.
Ask yourself who has benefitted most in the past 40 years since this combine was created and which shows in their off- shored BANK ACCOUNTS...
Is it those lousy socialists or could it be those 1% US Oligarchs and their buddies (maybe ex now) sitting in Shariad petromonarchies. That has as 'ordre du jour' asymmetric wars on permanence in the Oil Patch; 'de preference' on the basis of Muslim kill muslim FITNA logic. Nothing like a Shia-Sunni rampage to keep the terrorists occupied!
Pot calling kettle black? More power to the US private sector Oligarchs who built the financialzed model?
Not saying that Francafrique shenanigans and Brit geo-political plays in Nigeria and elsewhere over decades have not contributed to this western initiated --and oligarchy dominated-- mess.
Now we see the Putin and Chinese regimes taking their part in the rip-off of raw materials of dominated hinterlands all over the globe. Neo-feudalism and despotism is now a world phenomenon.
But they stay surrogate--in current geo-poilitical configuration (for how long?) -- to the hegemonic role of that KING oil/monetary combine that RUNS the world today.
Hey libertarian minded USA : if you could tell truth from falsehood, debt from asset, and neo-feudalism from socialism you might understand causality.
And as a result this thread could acquire a greater sense of AUTHENCITY instead of the usual "trolling forever".
Its amazing to see ZH burn down its own geo-political logic painstakingly built over 5 years in this daily thread.
Some about turn !
Is it those lousy socialists or could it be those 1% US Oligarchs and their buddies...
You say this as if these are mutually exclusive entities. Who do you think came up with the concepts of socialism and communism? Hint: it wasn't poor working people.
BTW, the 1% of US oligarchs are mostly just useful idiots in service to the true global power players, the 0.001% vampires who run the world's central banking system. Basically, guys like Bill Gates and Carlos Slim are waterboys in comparison.
I'm just following the logic of the poster, who finger points to euro style governments as the BIG problem.
The big problem Imo is elsewhere. I'm prioritising and not saying they are mutually exclusive.
And, its been amply developed here by ZH over the years.
The -ism responsible for this mess is governmentalism. Very small government of most sorts is reasonably tolerable but it never remains that way.
gov•ern•men•tal•ism
n.
the trend toward expansion of the government's role, range of activities, or power.
[1840–50]

I must disagree with you
The ism of choice is only a variation of degree
The result is the same, always, all statism leads to a corrupt powerful core of families , neo-royalty, channeling the wealth collection mechanisms of the state to themselves, and using the organs of the state to esconce themselves in their legal neo-fortresses.

You've just negated the time line of history and the logic of human emancipation in terms of political change in society.
According to your logic :
Divine right kings and Republicans were of the same fold when it comes to evaluating general good. Inches apart !
Tarquin and Brutus would be also examples of different levels of "state corruption"...they fought for early Rome.
Jefferson and George III were just "degrees" apart and the Declaration of Independence was no big deal.
Where did you learn to play poker? A pair of deuces beats a royal flush?
Where I learned to play poker we learned th opposite. But we also learned that each poker hand had to be played by each generation. You couldn't just say : My father played great poker.
Current Americans have gone sloppy on logic, 'cos the worst of all systems is anarchy. It leads straight to despotism as it shows the people are truly sheeple and cannot defend themselves. The wolves love that!
"'cos the worst of all systems is anarchy. It leads straight to despotism"
Bullshit. That is simply the belief of those innately wired for government.
Set up two systems, one based on government and one based on the absence of government, and compare the results. Of course government lovers never want their system exposed for the failure it has always been, so they immediately reject any such trials.
Yes I have
Since the beginning of "civilization" there has been nothing new under the sun, we are literally repeating the final days of Rome today
All governments of all flavours have all led to the oppression of the many for the enrichment of the few
The Declaration of Independence was a bold and radical attempt at minimal government, and it also failed
Only anarchy will work - no governance without consent
Reading through most comments (and I agree with lots of them), makes me think that ZH is a hot pot of "extremists". Soon it will be considered "extreme" if you hate Goldman Sachs for financial fraud, or hate the ECB for their theft programme.
17 people died in France due to some shootings. 5 people died in Portugal because they had to wait in Emergency Rooms for over 24 hours. If I say that the Troika and the Portuguese government are terrorists, killing their own populations, could that be "extreme" thinking?
Unfortunately we are not armed here in Europe (see? again! another "extremist" thought...)
I suspect the loss of liberty, usurping of the constitution and the deployment of the military on U.S. soil would trigger revolution —
I'm afraid your suspicions are unfortunately incorrect. These events have ALREADY happened and the sheeple happily bent over in response. Look no further than the sickening events that took place during the Boston Pressure Cooker Affair. Not only did the sheeple buy into the official narrative promoted as a result of that ridiculous false-flag, but they quite literally CHEERED as the stormtruppen went through their neighborhoods with guns drawn, forcibly invading and searching their homes.
Baahhstin Strahhhng, baybee!!
BARF.
Paper tigers.
Made-for-television peacetime police state theatre like the Boston non-bombing and the Newtown psyop have *nothing in common* with the kind of shit that would hit the fan in wartime insurgency situations when the people know their backs are actually against the wall.
IMO the internet will become under attack, in fact already has by Obama announcing "We need to protect the net", and because all this info is being spread at warp speed to large amounts of people the 'grand plan' has been speed up and it's going to get VERY sloppy.
What are you going to do now that this has been proven to be the norm? There is a French saying, "in politics there is no (such thing as) murder". Government + Media = Spin the Muppet. Actual terrorism is an opportunity, but will be faked if there isn't anything suitable to work with. Full spectrum battle of wits. Same as it ever was.
