The Slide Toward “Velvet Glove” Fascism Continues
Submitted by Pater Tenenbrarum of Acting Man
Government-Granted “Freedom”
Orwellian Language – the Slide toward “Velvet Glove” Fascism Continues
Sometimes we get the feeling the ruling elites are investing the laws they enact with a kind of impertinent, slap-in-your-face black humor. How else to explain the Orwellian names given to the liberty-crushing laws that have been put in place since the “war on terror” started?
The latest example is the misnamed “Freedom Act”, the purpose of which appears to be to make legal what was hitherto plainly illegal – inter alia whole-sale spying by the government on the citizenry. The legislation has been sold to the serfs as absolutely necessary to “prevent terror attacks”. As we have previously pointed out, the average US citizen is statistically far more likely to die from drowning in a bathtub or simply by falling from a chair rather than from a terror attack. No special laws have been proposed yet to save us from the evil of bathtubs and chairs, in spite of the danger evidently emanating from these deadly household furnishings.
Many people indeed begin to watch what they are saying once they are aware of being under constant surveillance. As we have previously argued, this undermines an important pillar of civilization.

Apart from the vanishingly small statistical likelihood of actually being harmed by terrorists, it is noteworthy that such laws – the true purpose of which is highly unlikely to be congruent with their stated purpose – are enacted even while the government engages in activities that are bound to worsen these statistics in the future. The so-called “war on terror” so far actually seems to be similarly successful as the “war on poverty” and the “war on drugs”. In fact, it appears to be ranking quite high on the list of the biggest government boondoggles.

Since the “war on terror” started, terrorism has grown like never before. One should expect such outcomes to some extent, but this one is actually putting quite a few other failed government schemes to shame … via Washington Post, click to enlarge.
To call a law the “Freedom Act” makes it sound as if freedom were something the government generously grants to its serfs. This is not so. Not surprisingly, upon closer inspection it looks like the new law hasn’t improved the previous state of affairs in the slightest. Instead it has probably made it even worse.

Supporting Terrorists
Due to a FOIA request by Judicial Watch it has recently emerged that the government knew full well that its intervention in Syria (arming moderately mad mullahs in order to overthrow Assad) would probably result in the emergence of an “Islamic State” in Iraq and Syria. As Washington’s Blog and Zerohedge have pointed out, there are quite a few choice passages in this 2012 assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (we have left the typos and grammatical mistakes in the transcription below intact, we have only added a few commas to improve readability):
“The general situation”:
Internally, events are taking a clear sectarian direction.
The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.
The West, Gulf countries and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China and Iran support the regime.
“The effects on Iraq”:
The opposition forces will try to use the Iraqi territory as a safe haven for its forces, taking advantage of the sympathy of the Iraqi border population, meanwhile trying to recruit fighters and train them on the Iraqi side, in addition to harboring refugees.
If the situation unravels, there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor) and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).
The deterioration of the situation has dire consequences on the Iraqi situation and are as follows:
This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the jihad among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers the enemy, the dissenters. ISI could also declare an Islamic State through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory.
The renewing facilitation of terrorist elements from all over the Arab world entering into Iraqi arena.”
(emphasis added)
It is startling to learn that all of this was already known to government agencies in 2012, well before the world at large became aware of ISIS. Just think for a moment about this sentence: “…. there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor) and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want.”

Midwifing in the Middle Eas, Cartoon by Adam Zyglis
In other words, ISIS has not only done precisely what was expected, but what the governments supporting the Syrian opposition wanted to happen. Radical salafists were armed to overthrow a tinpot dictator who represents no threat whatsoever to us. Many of the same politicians who voted in favor of this have at the same time incessantly promoted the alleged need to keep civil liberties undermined. According to them, provisions of the “Patriot Act” shouldn’t have been allowed to expire under any circumstances, inter alia to enable us to “defend against the threat posed by groups like ISIS”. Someone should perhaps remind these slime-molds that they knowingly and willingly helped to create this threat. The cynicism and hypocrisy are truly remarkable.

John McCain posing with “moderately mad mullahs” in Syria. The man with the camera was later identified as terrorist Muhammad Nour, while the second man from the left was said to be his associate “Abu Ibrahim”. Both have allegedly been involved in the abduction of Lebanese Shia pilgrims. McCain’s office commented: “If the individual photographed with Senator McCain is in fact Mohamed Nour, that is regrettable.”
Why should “we” get involved in the Sunni/Shia religious dispute at all, what has any of this got to do with us? Note that prior to the Iraq war, Sunni, Shia and Christian communities were living peacefully side by side in the region. One certainly cannot deny that both Saddam and Assad were, respectively are, quite unsavory dictators. And yet, the West has no problem with supporting the brutal theocratic regime of Saudi Arabia and the even more brutal junta of General al-Sisi that is currently ruling Egypt (where the courts are routinely sentencing hundreds of people to death in one go in Stalinesque show trials). This support is provided under the cover of “realpolitik”, the term regularly invoked when policies completely bereft of morals are pursued.

Just trust us…, cartoon by Simon Kneebone
Supporting radical fundamentalists in order to fight a regime one happens to dislike at a given moment is per experience especially dangerous. If there is a “lesser evil” in the Syrian conflict, we have yet to be apprised of its existence. The radicals fighting Assad are certainly happy to take Western money and weapons, just as the mujahedin of Afghanistan once did, but they are definitely not our “friends”. On the contrary, arming them will ultimately only invite blowback, a term coined by the CIA to describe the rash of unintended consequences that usually results from such interventions. It should be known by now that Islamist fundamentalists have especially large blowback potential. The recent murder of cartoonists in Paris has once again underscored this fact (the French government has reacted as one would expect, by curtailing the liberties of French citizens further).

Spot the difference, Cartoon by Matt Wuerker
Amending the Amendments
No-one is saying that genuine terrorist threats shouldn’t be defended against. The question is whether surveillance of the entire population actually serves this goal. The evidence so far suggests that it doesn’t. As the former NSA chief publicly admitted, “one, or perhaps two” terrorist plots have actually been foiled by the NSA’s extended spying activities. Or perhaps none, as Michael Krieger avers. Who knows really? Our money is on “none”.
Similarly, the extraordinary powers the government has arrogated to itself in other areas via the likewise Orwellian-sounding “Patriot Act” are unlikely to actually improve its record of providing safety. The previously allowed methods of detection and prevention of crime should be more than sufficient for this purpose. After all, “ticking bomb” scenarios exist only in Jack Bauer movies. If such a scenario were against all odds ever encountered in real life, we’re quite sure that those confronted by it wouldn’t let protocol stand in their way (and we can be just as certain that no-one would subsequently complain). For the citizens who are supposedly going to be “protected”, there is definitely no mileage in the shredding of the bill of rights.
All over the world, anti-terror laws have been abused for purposes that have absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. These range all the way from “investigating copyright infringement” to “spying on noisy children”.

Cartoon by Joel Pett
If the process were honest, one would simply have to amend the 4th and 5th amendments a bit further. We propose the following changes:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
There are certain exceptions when these rights shall be violated on a grand scale. As soon as the government declares something called “the war on drugs”, no-one shall be safe from arbitrary seizure of his effects by anyone ranging from Hicksville sheriffs to DEA agents at their whim. As soon as the government declares something called “the war on terror”, the passage about being secure from “unreasonable searches” will be suspended for the duration of the conflict, i.e., forever.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
As soon as the government declares the never-ending “war on terror” mentioned in amendment 4, the whole rigmarole about “due process” shall be suspended as well.
If these amendments were duly altered as proposed above, the courts would no longer have to engage in an unseemly song-and-dance about who has “standing” every time people are attempting to get them to rule on whether assorted anti-terror laws represent an infringement of the constitutional order.

A vision of the potential future consequences of complaining too loudly, Cartoon by Ben Sargent
Conclusion
The fact that the newest anti-terror law has been named the “Freedom Act” is a big red flag all by itself. It certainly appears as if nothing has improved relative to the previous situation. At the same time, government intervention in far-away lands continues to be the biggest force generating more terrorism in the world. When blowback eventually ensues, we will no doubt be told that if we want to be “safe” we will need to surrender even more civil liberties. Unfortunately experience suggests that most people are either going to sleep through this or will even cheer their own enslavement on.
History also shows that no society moves from a relatively free political system to full-scale authoritarianism in one fell swoop. Instead the process moves forward step-by-step, almost imperceptibly at first (in “salami tactic” fashion). A major characteristic of this process that can be observed time and again is that governments enact increasingly repressive legislation on the pretext of emergencies – at times real ones, and more often than not imagined ones. By the time people are waking up to what is going on, it is usually too late. None of this should therefore be taken lightly.

Reaching the “too late” phase.

I stopped reading after the second time this clown described Bashar Asad as a dictator akin to Sadam Hussein. This asshat obviously didn't do his research, otherwise he'd know that Asad is nothing of the sort. He's a mild-mannered Western educated ophthalmologist who was selected by his father and predecessor, Hafez Asad, as the leader of Syria after his elder brother, who was being groomed for the spot, was killed in a car accident. Bashar assumed the role reluctantly. Does this make him a dictator? In the traditional sense, yes. But to compare him to the likes of Saddam Hussein is like comparing Barak Obama to an actual statesman. Asad is actually liked by most Syrians, something that can't even jokingly be said about Obama.
I'm not here to lend support to anyone, only to point out that the moron author of this article probably has no idea about much of what he's talking about because he obviously took no time or effort to research one of the main people in his little high school quality essay.
I am Chumbawamba.
Of course not. Whatever makes you think that they need stoop to something so crude as buying your allegiance? They have the guns; they make the rules. Besides which, the whole point of owning the government is to make sure that they can keep all the goodies to themselves and pay nobody nothing.
Meanwhile the Zionazis kick the sh*t out of Granny Kraut because she doesn't agree with everything being said about WWII. I'm trying to remember why we wanted to win the war in first place, wasn't it to safeguard freedom of opinion and speech? http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2015/06/breaking-86-year-old-woman-...
Russia is technical winner of WWII, is almost double territorial domain after war. US is burden with cost of foreign military installation while Russia is consume resource of many puppet nation.
I'd say Banks, American manufacturing, and Zionist Jews won. European civilians and civilization lost.
The Zionists managed to use Russian troops to beat the Nazis, ad they used British and American troops to get Palestine.
The Balfour "Agreement" is always presented as a gift the British didn't possess because it was seen by that noble race of colonialist murderers and slave drivers that the Jews of Europe were clearly middle eastern in origin.
The quid pro quo of using Jewish power to {help} get the US to enter the war, an absolute fact, is absolutely buried. It clashes with the narrative of Jews qua perpetual helpless and 'sacred' victim. That and the fact the early Bolsheviks were wildly disproportionately Jews in a country that was never more than perhaps 5-7% at most Jewish.

Boris: Russian people suffered horribly fighting The Great Patriotic War then under Stalin and Soviet sistemy after.
So is not to say Russian people won WW II. Only government.
If Stalin attacked Germany first instead of Finland which joined the Axis to get back at the Russians, the war with Germany would have been over two years earlier.
But then Stalin would have taken over all of Europe and WW III with US would have followed so much worse suffering.
I thought that was a good link - why would you down Vote a link?
Smedley, probably because they prefer to believe the version of history the victors wrote. The same version that never mentions the great Smedley Butler. A couple of yrs ago I mentioned his name to a college history professor who had never heard it before!

I call partial bullshit here.
1/3 of the free world was simply given over to Stalin by Roosevelt with the stroke of a pen at Yalta.
FDR post WWII saw the world as a triumverate, with Britain the USA and Russia ruling. Churchill and the Brits realized they'd be the pipsqueaks in this setup and moved to instigate the cold war driving a wedge between Russia and the USA with Truman as point man. Some suggest that FDR was poisoned by Churchill and the Brit spy network to this end. Two of FDR's most trusted aids died on the way home from the Yalta talks.The Russian's wanted an autopsy on FDR's corpse for this reason but no search for poison was ever conducted. The British establishment has always been fascist and are the original neo cons having conducted brutal "empire" for several centuries prior. In 1913 they re conquered the USA with the installation of the Federal Reserve bringing together the British and European central banker/corporate cabal with their American counterparties and they were not about to let those waters be muddied with Russian joining the group.. Russia has long been a friend to the USA in a self survial sense, the Czar sending the Russian Pacific fleet to port in San Francisco during the American Civil War to keep Britain and France from invading the USA, taking adfvantage of the situation. The Czar saw the USA as a fellow bulwark against the Euro central bankers who wanted to set up shop in Russia aswell as the USA. Now we know why the central bankers financed the Russian Revolution and Lenon installed a central bank and had the Czars liquidated.
The International Banksters have always financed and controlled ALL sides - and they still do!!!

If you review transcripts of the Tehran conference, it was an angry Churchill that yelled at FDR, for not insisting Kai-shek move imperialisticly into south east Asia. Stalin asked repeatedly for poison testing of FDR at his death he believed in English interference there.
Dear me, your memory is terrible. We went into both the First and the Second World Wars to ensure that Britain would be able to pay back all the money it had borrowed from JP Morgan and his cronies. The rest was always nothing but hot air.
We are living the very worst parts of 1984. I love a good rally but we dont have that here. We have total dystopian fascism. We ended up with the perfect marriage of .gov and .corp. The only thing that can prevent the next steps is a full out nuclear war or an angry meteor. Neither is forthcuming though so enjoy and remember that the little things make us happy.
It got to this point because a clique of effendi have taken complete control of media and govt and wall st. There is no real investigative journalism or voices of dissent that can reach out over Cable/Satellite/Radio. 1984 is a world without options for gentiles.
Oh, don't be such a pessimist. The nuclear war could easily brew up over the Ukraine, although Putin is trying carefully to avoid that. The angry meteor COULD show up about 20 years from now. There's plenty of space junk in orbit ready to fall in the interim. And have you any idea what havoc Peak Oil and Global Climate Change are going to create? We can confidently look forward to seeing Manhattan abandoned as its connections to the mainland are destroyed by repeated storm surges, and Washington D.C. under five feet of tidal water -- both within fifty years if not twenty. Be sure you set in a good stock of popcorn!

Am sure there's a compound measure in there somewhere making the % miss higher than you estimate.

True story. Just today I crossed the street only to be met by a homeless person pushing a baby's stroller full of shit, no baby. Went to buy some beer at the liquor store and SHE was ahead of me in line buying a fifth of vodka. She smelt like a out house that has not been cleaned in over a year! I said to her you smell like shit and she responded back at me saying she was homeless. I said "take a shower and get a job". She left with her Vodka and I left with my beer. I get home and some person is crashed/sleeping in front of my bedroom window. I said to my wife close and lock the windows. She got upset until I showed her what was going on.
It's going to be a long summer.

I found this terrorist communique online. In the spirit of "see something, say something," I will reproduce part of it here.
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

This is what it is really all about! To silence critics using fear. The Washington elites, the Israeli's and the Military Industrial Complex want to be the only voices heard, via their tame media. We all know now what US Media is, it's fixed, controlled, scripted and now full of lies. All aimed to further the wealth and power transfer. Our elites want to be the only voice heard. Like John Kerry, former 60's liberal anti war veteran, his screed over the simple little RT channel. "Propaganda bullhorn which is RT!" Well, I watch RT, and it is very tame indeed! It does allow criticism of US war policy and bank looting, this makes it very different to the one voice US media. But all in all, I have found it very hard to catch RT in a lie. I keep informed, when RT comes on like CNN and tells a massive lie, then I take notice. Trouble is, I rarely find a lie, just a counter point of view that can be backed by evidence. Bankers are crooks? It can be proven.
So it is all down to fear and to inforce silence. I know every post I make now is in the NSA books, and I am flagged probably a hundred times already as being a threat. Anyone not buying media lies is now a threat. All of us! That is all it takes, not agree with the 1% or Israel. I suspect the American jews have a big hand in this, as they dearly want to silence anyone but themselves. That they even have AIPAC shows they support the spying and the media lies. Most media are direct agents of Israel. and we know who lives in Israel.
Are we reading the same papers? The MSM keeps telling me, "Israel is an apartheid state. Israel bombs Arabs for sport. Netanyahu controls the Republican Party." An Israeli can't cough without being condemned for it by the New York Times.
You really think our elites do the dirty work of Israel? They hate the Jews, partly because they insist on defending their own and partly because they refuse to bow down and worship the elites of the Gentile world as gods. If it weren't for the Samson Option they'd have wiped Israel off the map long since.
If you'd said they were in league with the House of Saud, who are everything the Elders of Zion are said to be and worse, you'd be nearer the truth. Genteel Jew-haters are a dime a dozen. Try breathing a word against Islam in polite company and see if you'll be welcome in it again.
The question isn't is this^ nonsense, it is ostentatiously so, the question is why someone like you, who all else aside clearly isn't a dumb guy, anyway, would actually believe it to be the case. The fucking NYT is anti-Israel??

What, do you work for MEMRI?
You are full of shit.
you would make a great lampshade.
If you post Israelie Websites here won't your comments be nuked, or all comments nuked, or all ZH servers nuked, as happed like a month ago or maybe 2 months ago?
There are mechanisms on the Web that watch for posting negative comments on news-sites, and then nuke them for being anti-ceramic. Or maybe I got that wrong.
They don't know the intention of the comment or the sentiment of the website, so best decision is to nuke the comments in a way that looks confusing. Or so it might seem.
Aipac.. why in the fuck is there a JINSA?
Also, I don't think everyone at nsa, cia, and dia (especially) is in thrall to the neocons and Israel.
No one ever wants to be first over the Hill, particularly with the media in Jewish, *ergo* Zionist hands. Clearly most Jews are liberal, secular, us loyal. but their massive power and ethnocentrism/ethnonepotism allows the large (20/30%) of Israel Firsters to wield outsized power. "CHRISTIAN" Zionists vote them in maybe 15/18 senators.... b
ut though the loudest trolls, the evangelicals are in fact outnumbered by Catholics alone...and more pour into the CSA every year. Which is why the last thing the media will do is cover Israeli treatment of eastern rite/orthodox christians in Israel, and dwelled little on the destruction by isis and nusra of christian sites.
What if Pope Francis met with the top Orthodox leaders and called for a boycott on Israel until it ended its occupation and siege? if 20% of nominal Catholics and Orthodox even went along.... highlighting merely the facts of Jewish occupation, colonialism, and repression easily refutes absurd Zio claims about bds being, for the majority, about something other than Israel's behaviour...
9/11 remains the key.
fwiw codebreaking and surveillance operations from the 30's were very handy during ww2. nsa prolly wants to stay on the cutting edge in case of ww3

GCHQ, NSA and Aussie's & New Zealands same offices are joined at the hip by secret treaties revealed in the book on NSA titled "The Puzzle Palace" I think they have recruited ten thousand or more total.
The Acid test: Do you believe 3 guys with box cutters brought down 3 steel buildings in Manhattan AND destroyed the precise conference room in the Pentagon where forensic accountants and program analysts were trying to find the missing 2.3 trillion mentioned in the newspapers the day BEFORE 911? its a YES or NO answer
If NO then the person is not adversely affected by the Neo-con hypnosis-induced-by-trauma METHOD.
If YES teach them the following data:
"Anything said to a hypnotized person is true for them" stated George Estabrooks the father of military hypnosis in 1943. Compare that to $cientology's L Ron Hubbard and his minions who actually say "What is true for you is true for you" $cientology uses the same METHODS of covert hypnosis as America has been using upon Americans since the cabal killed John F Kennedy.
Intentionally contrived Trauma (911, ISIS beheadings, JFK murder,) will tend to be followed by the propaganda they want you to believe. This is because after intense EMOTIONAL SHOCK, humans tend to stop thinking. WHEN YOU HAVE STOPPED THINKING you have entered a more suggestible state, where anything said to you, will go directly into your subconscious as a command, or as a suggestion as to what is 'true'.
Reread this, look for examples in your own life where you recognize this happening.
George Estabrooks said that you will continue to have what you believe to be true manipulated by others UNTIL YOU BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE METHODS BEING USED upon you! .
This is ONE METHOD. Save this, pass it on, there are other METHODS.
Here is another METHOD: THE BIG LIE
https://www.facebook.com/notes/arnaldo-lerma/the-most-important-deprogra...
And yet another: Google THE CONFUSION TECHNIQUE - read the links to Lermanet.com. I learned these lessons deconstructing $cientology for 30 years only to realize they are being used upon society all around us, only with a different shore story....
And another: DEMONIZATION - whenever you encounter ad-hominem, ALWAYS read at least a few pages by the person being demonized yourself, see for yourself. Do NOT let anyone see for you. ALWAYS LOOK AT THE SOURCE MATERIALS. The adventurous will begin learn amazing things if they just used demonization as a big red READ ME NOW flag. Of course if a person appears to have been assassinated DEFINITELY read EVERYTHING that guy wrote. You will be AMAZED at how much you will learn and you will understand WHY those that seek to control what you believe, used demonization to begin with - often, it is those same people they demonize who have the evidence of the crimes of the accusers or know the secret of 'how the trick is done'.
Also see original CIA DOCS on how to suppress the truth. This deserves close study.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-02-23/1967-he-cia-created-phrase-cons... When you see these being used, you will now know what you are dealing with. Understand that much of society has been conditioned by repetition to think these things are 'normal', they are now, YOU are normal...
and DCDAVE.COM's 17 Techniques for Truth Suppression...
The same deprogramming methods I used on $cientology work on Neo-Cons. By reading the links above you will learn some of these techniques.
Regards
Arnie Lerma.
hope this helps...we need thousands of deprogrammers...
"Secrets are the mortar binding bricks as lies together into prisons for the mind"
"I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speake"
PS: Repetition alone is another METHOD
Very good post seataka and i will take up your suggestion to explore the information provided.
Personally i have a simpler ' rule of thumb ' method to establishing truthiness and that is taking the exact opposite view/position to western msm. Absolutely amazing that it seems/appears to work 99.9999% of the time.
Uncanny Eh?
The Acid test: Do you believe 3 guys with box cutters brought down 3 steel buildings in Manhattan AND destroyed the precise conference room in the Pentagon where forensic accountants and program analysts were trying to find the missing 2.3 trillion mentioned in the newspapers the day BEFORE 911? its a YES or NO answer.
Dude , it probably had a lot more to do with the huge aircraft hitting them, or are you using the butterfly flapping its wings effect?
It's not a Yes or No answer as seataka says. That's too simplistic.
Nevertheless, two pieces of evidence which are highly significant are (a) the collapse of Building 7 in its own footprint without being hit by anything - virtually impossible according to many experts and (b) no evidence exists to confirm that it was a plane that rammed into the Pentagon. A missile is far more likely, especially given eye witness accounts and the exact spot where it hit, as seataka says.
There are other very dubious pieces of evidence but these two alone are more than enough to cast serious doubts over the whole 9/11 attack.
I have long been of the view that dark forces inside Washington and elsewhere were deeply involved in 9/11. Exactly who and how widespread the conspiracy was remain uncertain.
there was barely enough wreckage from the Pentagon missile to fit into a Volkswagen beetle-look at the pics
I'm speechless.
...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Nice prose, but the reality was American oligarchs battling English oligarchs.
Still left the oligarchs winning.
Meet the new boss,same as.......
The desperation of the government is apparent in the absolutely inane laws, not worth the toilet paper they are written on, spewed forth from both sides of the aisle.
The jig is up.
Heads must roll.
Anyone notice Harper's Economic Action Plan is being used to expand CSIS operations?
Can't find a job? Well, CSIS is hiring. Are you flexible? Can you make your friends flexible? Real flexible?
These Fascist muthafuckers are pitting the people against each other with leftist/rightist crap propaganda so each side will blame the other political ideology whilst these Fascist muthafuckers just go on about their way and continue to thrive.
Anyone around here ever do anything about all this but bitch?
Allahu Akbar?
100 people die every day in car accidents in the US alone.... that's like a 9/11 once a month ! Where's the war on human freeway mincemeat ? Then again I suppose when they do start this campaign, it will be time to sell your car since road traffic death rates will probably soar !
I think perhaps it will be the other way around. Google cars will reach a tipping point sometime in 2020 and after that no insurance company is going to insure a "meat" operator. Driving then will be relegated only to the rich. The rest of us poor bastards will have sit in windowless little dick weasel eco friendly dogshit mobiles to get shuffled from point A to point B.
Terrorism is a huge problem. But roughly 99.9999999% of terrorism is actions of predators-DBA-government, hundreds of billions to trillions of times every day. And yes, 911 was terrorism, namely false-flag terrorism by predators-DBA-government, the only question being how many of them, and which fictitious governments were involved.
This is a good description of what's happening...
I am on record as far back as 1991 saying:
__________________________________________________________
"Fascism is on the rise across the West. Except this time round the leaders won't be wearing military fatigues and goose-stepping. They'll be wearing Armani suits and dining in the best restaurants."
__________________________________________________________
What is actually happening now pretty much matches what I saw emerging over 20 years ago.
The fact that it's taken over 20 years to become so visible confirms that fascism is being introduced very carefully and step-by-step, so as not to scare the horses. AKA: the "velvet glove approach".
Seemingly, 9/11 was the catalyst which allowed the plan to get underway in earnest.
It's not limited to one single political party. Fascism attracts people from diverse political backgrounds because it provides the authority to raise the level of power and control which is what they all like, even those who publicly deny it.

General Yevgeni Primakov, has been hired as a consultant by the US Department of Homeland Security!
http://www.realnews247.com/KGB%20General%20Yevgeni%20Primakov%20hired%20...
The article does seem to sum up how far we have fallen at the hands of an elitist government that conquered America with a silent coup.
How do I know there has been a coup? They no longer use amendments to the constitution to pass unconstitutional laws. They just pass them through Congress or as executive actions.
However, what I can tell you is that every person who uses the term "elite" to describe those who are currently in power is playing into their hands. THEY want us to think they are better than us, that they are "elite". THEY coined the term, not us. The tone of articles would change if they were referred to as "elitists", "power-mongers" or "those who executed the coup".
If you want people to think of them as better than us, then by all means continue to use the term "elite" to describe them.
Merca is doomed...only question is when the civil war erupts..
But look on the bright side and imagine how the rest of the planet will enjoy when Merca is burning.
Every year in Germany alone thousands of people are jailed for the fake crime of denying the Hollow Cast ( sic ) .
Germany and Europe are fascist vassals of the NWO .

When I try to imagine their rationale for these destructive enterprises, such as surveillance and global dominance, I come up with greed which implies that "they" believe that monetary value and power determines self worth. Also, that in the end, the unification of the world under one controlling power will be more lasting than a world with waring factions. And, so on. They are blind fools. The problem is that these individual reasons are not shared by a corporate mechanism that is not human. Corporations have no concepts because they are not human. They are systems that function until they achieve total domination and then devour themselves when there is nothing left to consume. Corporatism ends in waring individuals that sabotage the system and all the power of that system is used against itself. The problem is the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few sociopaths. One megolomanic Soros, and there are many such morons, insures the destruction of any global system.
Arrest him. I believe that many billionaires already realize that they will eventually be arrested by the system that they have been supporting if they don't do something to stop it.
all that matters is the bottom half of the class buys it. they are the ones who will "give" the permission to disappear you.
Asad brought this on himself .... coziness with Iran and Russia and Hizbollah .... so who won the 2006 Lebanese War with Hizbollah .... Israel's crushing victory is still ongoing .... but, even brain dead Muslim filth (not all Muslims, just the brain dead filthy ones) .... are starting to sort it out .... don't fuck with my Jews .... or I will unleash my wicked side on you ! LOL
what is incongruent is there is a critical mass of people who understand what is happening but can't seem to convince the critical bottom half of the class to get on board. nothing happens until the dumb people get angry.
The author is full of horse manure, if for this sentence alone, starting with Note.
Why should “we” get involved in the Sunni/Shia religious dispute at all, what has any of this got to do with us? Note that prior to the Iraq war, Sunni, Shia and Christian communities were living peacefully side by side in the region.
Actually:
http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/wars_iraniraq.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War
They were not living peacefully with Israel .... so Israel, SA and US .... are kickin' butt .... using stupid ISIS Muslims .... to do the dirty work on each other .... and they are brutal .... life is better when you are fair to Israel !
They seem like cunts, Monetas. You're a smart fella... surprised you don't see it.
I'm not Jewish .... but, when I see 1.6 billion Muslims .... with a collective inferiority complex .... try to wipe out the 12 million living Jews .... I'm gonna go with the underdog .... it's my sense of fair play .... and a little guy in a fight .... has to use his wits .... and pop the big dumb guy in the nuts !
Sunnis are the Roman Catholics of Islam .... they got Mecca, don't they .... and the filthy savage Mohammad (easily documented by his own words) was born near there around 700 AD .... and the Shia's are the Orthodox Catholics of Islam .... on the outside .... looking in .... maybe that's why the stupid Russians .... identify with the losers !
They don't spend a lot of time learnin' you about other religions in your yeshiva, do they?
Speaking of a filthy savage, check out my man Yahweh. His book is everywhere.
-
p.s. fuck YHWH. Little bitch, demiurge. Let's see his crew just try to rebuild that whack ass temple for the 5th time and callit the 3rd time and kill animals there to please his self. Shit will just be destroyed again, couz.
All religions have their skeletons .... Islam, being the new kid on the block .... has to get beyond this primal stage it's stuck in .... free speech would be a good place to start .... give to others .... the tolerance they demand from others .... they have a lot of growing .... spiritually .... to do .... do you applaud your children .... when they have homicidal tantrums ? Gotcha ! LOL
Just when I start thinking I may be reading too much ZH.........Boris returns and reminds of the lighter side. Lol.

A swat raid that kills their dog, puts a woman in jail and destroys her home over .................................... not having natural gas service. This happened over a year ago and just now coming out!
Fascism / Nazism is a collective mental disease. Some of us are willing to say we have a "light version".... I say we have a full blown case of it.
Nothing light about a ten man swat no knock raid for not paying a gas bill.
