Once alienated,
an "unalienable right" is apt to be forever lost, in which case we are no longer
even remotely the last best hope of earth but merely a seedy imperial state
whose citizens are kept in line by SWAT teams and whose way of death, not life,
is universally imitated.

Ziopath's Latest Psyops: DABIQ
but where does m.m. attack the federal reserve act
of 1913? i must go look for it.
oh crap, then he says this.
"..If economics were so fascinating (creating a storm of enthusiasm), people would be watching TV
programs and going to see movies about economists. They aren't, and never were, and never will. We
may assume that economics creates some enthusiasm with accountants, but accountants aren't known
for storms of enthusiasm, so even there the wording overstates the case. Most people could care less
about economics, and would rather talk about anything else in the world, including athlete's foot or
adult diapers. I am almost universally curious, but economics bores even me. In general, I want to
know everything, but there isn't much to know about economics except that it is a bore. Some people
have things to sell and other people have things they want to buy, and you just hope to get a match.
Beyond that it is all a cheat and a steal and a yawn for any honest person." mm ...
damn, there is more.
"..Any study of history or the lives of real people shows that economics was and is just one consideration
among many, and that it has always been considered the most vulgar and the least definitive. It
certainly wasn't the basis for all human interaction, not in tribal cultures, not in Eastern (Oriental)
cultures, and not even in Western cultures up to that time. Economics has enjoyed a steep rise in
relative importance in past 150 years, but that is because it has been promoted so outrageously by the
same people that were promoting Marx. While they were promoting this vulgar economic reading of
history, they were demoting all spiritualism, art, poetry, cooperation, and other non-economic factors,
so it is no surprise to see the bookstores and libraries filled with other books in the same line as A
Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy–books that no one wants to read, or does read. We must
assume that even the bankers don't read this crap, they simply push it on those they wish to loan money
to, sell stocks to, or issue credit cards to." m.m.
"Do you really think it is a coincidence that Marx came from a family of super wealthy industrialists,
and that he was misdirecting attention away from them all along? You will tell me that when he
returned to Cologne in 1848, he pressed four of the ten points of the Manifesto, believing that “the
bourgeoisie must overthrow the feudal monarchy and aristocracy before the proletariat could overthrow the
bourgeoisie.” [Wheen, p. 129.] But again, that is misdirection, since his rich uncle Benny was neither
monarchy nor aristocracy. The Philips family was composed of bankers and industrialists, not
aristocrats. In fact, these industrialists wanted to supplant the existing aristocracy. It was upper class
versus upper class, and in some parts of the world it still is. Remind yourself what happened in Russia:
the monarchy and aristocracy were overthrown, but not by the bourgeoisie. They were overthrown by
a group of mysterious intellectuals like Marx—Lenin, Trotsky, etc.—and under closer examination we
find they too were financed by bankers and industrialists.
I encourage you to read that last quoted sentence yet again, and despin it like this: Marx wanted to see
the bourgeoisie overthrow the aristocracy before the proletariat overthrew the bourgeoisie. Why would
he push that idea? I suggest to you that it is because the overthrow of the aristocracy was the plan all
along. All this talk about the proles and bourgeoisie is just misdirection. The goal was for the
aristocracy to be replaced by the industrialists in Marx's family, after which the proletariat could all go
get hanged. Marx and his backers knew that the proletariat would never gain the ability to overthrow
anyone, but they especially wouldn't have the power to overthrow a new upper class that had just
defeated the old aristocracy and co-opted all their resources." ... m.m.
same link
and this ...
"..As more evidence of this, I beg you to reconsider Marx's pitting the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
This should have always seemed strange to you, seeing that the great enemy of the worker was not the
bourgeoisie, but the very rich industrialists who owned the companies. As now, it was the super rich
that were preying on the workers, not the middle class. The lower class and the middle class should
have been natural allies against the upper class, since both were and are being preyed upon mercilessly.
Well, the upper class recognized that fact, and had to prevent that alliance by any means possible.
Enter Karl Marx. " m.m.
"...We now follow the scent to Trier itself. This is where we link back up to Marx. Karl Marx is said to
have been born in Trier. The first time I read that, I dismissed it as a coincidence, but I no longer do.
You will see why in a moment. But before we get there, let us take a look at the history of Trier. It is
surpassingly strange, even for an old European city. Formerly called Treves, the city is claimed to
have been founded 1,300 years before Rome. That would be 2,056 BC, and would make Trier the
oldest town in Germany and one of the oldest in Europe. Even the recorded history of Athens doesn't
go back that far. That would take us back almost to the Old Kingdom in Egypt.
Stranger still is the link to Assyria. Not many towns in Europe trace themselves back to Assyria. For
instance, Rome—which is of course quite old—traces its founding to Aeneas, and through him back to
Troy (c. 1300 BC). Troy is somewhat to the East, now being in far western Turkey, but Assyria is
much further to the East, being north of Babylon, in present-day Iraq. Why would Trier wish to link
itself to Assyria? According to the history, Trier was founded by Trebeta, son of Ninus. Ninus was
Nimrod from the Bible, who taught the Persians to worship fire. Note that. Ninus was the son of
Belus, who—according to Castor of Rhodes—lived when Zeus was fighting the Titans. In fact,
theogony gets mixed up with history at this distance in the past, since another historian—John of Nikiu
—tells us that the pagan gods Cronus and Rhea were real Assyrians, and that they bore Zeus (aka
Picus) and his brother Ninus. If Ninus was a god like his brother Zeus, then of course his son Trebeta
would also be a god. So according to some of these old monks cataloging these stories, Germany was
colonized by pagan gods.
In one way, that doesn't take much believing, since we can see why monks would wish trace their
lineage back to gods. It is less clear why Christian monks like John of Nikiu would wish to trace
themselves to pagan gods. John was an Egyptian Coptic bishop, so we have two questions instead of
one: 1) why would a Christian bishop wish to trace his lineage back to pagan gods? 2) why would an
Egyptian Coptic bishop wish to tie his lineage to Assyria or Persia? Egypt had a history just as old or
older, so if he has to trace himself back to someone other than Adam, why not trace himself to Ra or
Set or Amun?
An even better question, perhaps, is why German Christian monks would wish to tie Trier to Assyria
via these fire-worshiping demi-deities from the East. A clue is given by the fact that Trebeta was said
to have been cremated at his death by the people of Trier on a great pyre. Again, that is neither a
Christian, a Semitic, an Egyptian, a Greek, nor a Babylonian practice. Cremation was prohibited by all
these cultures/religions for most or all of their history.
I will leave that great mystery hanging for now and return you to Marx. Marx's history—unlike that of
Charlton Heston—is well-known and uncontested, but it is rarely stressed. They like to rush you by it,
if they mention it at all. You will now see why. On his father's side, Marx came from a family of
rabbis. His father was the first in the line to refuse that road and instead he became a rich lawyer.
[Fortunately he didn't also become a poet, as far as we know.] His father gave up Judaism, we are told,
and became a Lutheran, although we must assume that was just a pose. He married a Jewish woman
anyway, and although we are always told she was “semi-literate,” the more important fact is that she
was from a family of very wealthy bankers and industrialists. This was the Philips family, which later
started Philips electronics. Outside of the royals, the Philips were and still are the richest people in
Belgium.
I want to pause and circle that “semi-literate” tag we get whenever we read about Marx's mother. It is
supposed to divert you from realizing who she really is. Being semi-literate implies she is from a lowclass
family of scullery maids or something, when the truth is she is from a family of billionaires. They
just trust you don't make the connection I did, going “so these billionaires are semi-literate?” I
encourage you to make that connection, because it explains a lot. For a start, it explains why these
super-wealthy families who now run the world care nothing for real art, literature, poetry, or music.
They have destroyed all the old high arts and sciences, keeping only the lowly economics. The upper
class they displaced—the real aristocrats—always honored art and artists. They scoured their domains
—even the countryside and the towns of the poor—searching for the most talented artisans and artists.
But the nouveau-riche industrialists killed that tradition, instead inserting their own talentless children
into the all the artistic venues and jobs.
We also have curious links through Marx's wife Jenny:
Spending summer and autumn 1836 in Trier, Marx became more serious about his studies and his life. He
became engaged to Jenny von Westphalen, an educated baroness of the Prussian ruling class who had
known Marx since childhood. Having broken off her engagement with a young aristocrat to be with Marx,
their relationship was socially controversial due to the differences between their ethnic and class origins,
but Marx befriended her father, a liberal aristocrat, Ludwig von Westphalen, and later dedicated his doctoral
thesis to him.
No one ever asks how Marx managed to meet and wed an educated baroness of the Prussian ruling
class. Being a middle-class Jew, son of an attorney, he should have been the worst possible husband
for her. We would expect her family to do everything possible to prevent such a union. This is glossed
over by telling us Jenny and Karl were childhood friends, but that is beyond belief. Jenny's father
Ludwig von Westphalen may have hired Karl's father Heinrich to do some work for him, but as for the
families socializing, that is next to impossible. Plus, Jenny was four years older. If we are to believe
that they became friends as children, we would have to believe that a 16-year-old girl, say, became
close friends with a 12-year-old boy. It doesn't happen that way. If you are male, ask yourself if you
had any female friends that were four years older, when you were 10 or 12. You didn't. A 16-year-old
girl would be interested in a 20-year-old boy, not a 12-year-old. Jenny would have to be slow for us to
believe she was best friends with a much younger boy, but she wasn't. She was supposed to be
beautiful—the most beautiful girl in Trier‡—and highly educated.
The marriage looks arranged to me, for political purposes, which means Ludwig was probably in on
the con. In other words, the most logical reading of the clues here is that Ludwig von Westphalen was
an aristocrat who had been bought out by the rising industrialists like the Philips family. He had read
the signs, seeing the ultimate victory of money over rank—banking over the aristocracy—and he had
chosen their side. The history books call Ludwig a liberal aristocrat, which I suppose means he was
open to new ideas for the future. But since the new idea for the future he was open to was this takeover
by the bankers and industrialists, he was anything but liberal. To use the right adjective, he was a
fascist. " ... m.m.

"Pressure Cooker in Car at National Mall Destroyed"
the car was in the vicinity of Jefferson Drive, Madison Drive, and Constitution, and Independence avenues... per CNN
Police Lt. Schneider said the suspect has been identified as Israel Shimeles of Alexandria Va. - double wtf?

In the interest of erring on the side of caution. Where was all that caution in 2001?
Superb.
I have to stay far away from MSM today for my own sanity. I don't want anything to do with today so I came up with an idea on my way home from work.(yes, I had to work today and that is why I am not drunk yet which is bullshit). I decided that I wanted a pina coloda. I haven't one since the 80's when I was a teenager at the tavern. They aren't that hard to make once you find some cream of coconut. Every recipe I found calls for three parts pineapple juice, one part cream of coconut and one part rum or a ratio of 3 to 1 to 1. Since it is a state sponsored holiday and I have already wasted half the day working I think the mix ratio should be adjusted to 1 to 1 to 3.
I followed the recipe the first time and checked out some of the nutrition facts on the can of cream of coconut. 15 ounce can, servings per container- 15, calories- 130, saturated fat- 23%. Holy Shit! A 46 ounce can of Dole pineapple juice, servings per container- 6. Calories per serving- 130. Barcardi Silver rum has 65 calories per ounce. I did some maths and a the calorie intake amounts to a staggering 773.33 calories per 16 ounce glass. That means I have already consumed some 3000 plus calories not including breakfast and the five beers I had on the way home from work. It also explains why I changed the mix ratio to zero parts pineapple juice, zero parts cream of coconut and ten parts Barcardi silver rum.
I believe in enjoying alchohol in moderation like it says to do on the bottom shelf Phillips voidka bottle.(sp) I moderately enjoyed five Busch and them moderately enjoyed 4 pina colodas, the rum is currently being moderately enjoyed straight up. Later I will moderately enjoy the free beer that a neighbor gave me because he didn't like it. He gave me 20 bottles of Miller High Life Light. OK, that'll work so that piss is in the garage chilling on ice. You can't ride Harley on the third rainy day of this weekend and you can't watch TV because there is nothing on it to see. The gardens have been replanted again. How about drinking in the garage and polishing on the bikes while smoking a good cigar and drinking free beer? Then after that go to bed early. That sounds pretty good to me.
Peace brothers and sister.
You polish your bike?

OK, I do have some respect for the soldiers as all males of my family have served save for me but I served in state politics as a hard core Ron Pauler. I have great respect for what happened in the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812 to a degree. and the the War Of State's Rights often referenced as the "Civil War" but only Johnny reb. I give my respect to every veteran but some more than others. You see the common thread in I who I choose to honor. I only honor those who fought back and never wanted to make a career of it. I still have kind thoughts towards those who were drafted and forced to do something against their nature.
Don't ever get me wrong about the military. I wish they were all home so they could be with their friends, families and children were they belong. Cut the shit with the "Freedom" bullshit line of propaganda. I have guns upon guns upon more fucking guns and ammunition stocks that are almost ostentatious. I am talking tonnage. I am not the only one. I have bullion silver and gold en masse. I have all sorts of vehicles. I do not give a fuck who thinks they are in charge. I guess I need to buy a drone with a camera and maybe I will. I am not so worried about that though because I have the guns, I have the ammo and I have the metals.
I'm am waiting for the South to rise again even though I am a northerner. Anyone who thinks we will just give up and walk away had better think again because I am far from the only one who wants to try to make it right.
"I'm am waiting for the South to rise again even though I am a northerner. Anyone who thinks we will just give up and walk away had better think again because I am far from the only one who wants to try to make it right. "
I have heard this statement several times now by those whom I am close and trust me enough to speak freely. Don't discount all of us in SoCal as well. We are speaking softly but there are some big sticks scattered around. Not all of us bend to the authoratah. ;-)
Frankly, if I had the power, I'd line the streets in D.C. With the elitist scum hanging from telephone poles. A good purging is what this country needs plus the will to be diligent not to allow the psychopaths to get such a foothold again. When done, I'd be happy to return to my little farm. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long. I don't like my garden weeding to get too much ahead of me!
Miffed;-)
Nice touch with the cargo 'copter carrying away Liberty's lamp.
And the James Madison quote too. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Smedley Butler are two from the last century who gave us explicit and clear warnings as well - only to be drowned out by the chants of the small-minded: "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!"

War is peace. Ying and yang. You can't have peace without war. The stupid sheeple live by dichotomies. One dimensional thinking is the norm for sheeple thought. An advanced thought is that there are three dimensions. More complex thought is that there are many dimensions.
To emote is to react in opposition. To think is to see many other dimensions.

Notice that some stories are coming out of MSM concerning the incessant patriot flag worshiping pomp at the circuses. TPTB must feel some rumbling from the plebs.
A lot of the problem's we're having is due to how history is taught. They tell you where and when but not who and why, which is usually the important part. Ask somebody about Themopylae and the may have seen a movie fictionalization but have no idea of the politics and why the Spartans marched to 'Hell's Gate' while Athens dithered. People are always the ones who make bad decisions for bad reasons and not a force of nature thing. We are merely following a very long tradition of fucking up for political reasons......
History is not taught it is erased. All that is left is inculcation.

‘Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it
compromises and develops the germ of every other. As the parent of armies, war encourages
debts and taxes, the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the
few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended . . . and all the means
of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people . . .’

bob woodward is using Orwells Newspeak now, he is saying Bush didn't lie about WMDs.
