The DHS Defends Globalism, Not America
The Department Of Homeland Security is the very epitome of unnecessary bureaucracy. Its formation was predicated on the existence of terrorist threats, many of which the U.S. government and orbiting alphabet agencies either created through acts of war, or fabricated out of thin air. Its policies of centralization were sold to the public as necessary to prevent systemic “miscommunications” that never actually took place. Throughout our history, it has been a rare occasion indeed when an attack falls upon American infrastructure or interests that was not influenced, directly or indirectly, by the actions of agencies which were supposedly employed to prevent such events from ever occurring. Whether through ‘blowback’, or through ‘false flag’, frankly, most of the harm that comes to our nation is perpetrated by the guiding hand of our inexorably corrupt government.
Knowing that the DHS was established on false pretenses forces us to question the agency’s true intentions, especially when a professional fear-monger like Secretary Janet Napolitano announces that the globalization of the world economy falls within her jurisdiction:
http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2012/01/27/the-urgent-need-to-protect-the-global-supply-chain/
Average citizens would assume that the DHS is a U.S.-centric institution, and regardless of its Orwellian behavior, is at the very least a distinctly American brand of tyranny. However, under encroaching strategies enforced since 2006 through the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), it is becoming very apparent that the Department Of Homeland Security is quickly taking on an “all-of-nation” role, most prominently in the defense of globalization:
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf
In her most recent op-ed / propaganda piece published by Reuters, Napolitano makes it clear that the business of the DHS is lately focused on what she calls “global supply chain security”. This by itself could be seen as a perfectly logical extension of the DHS mandate to protect America. Unfortunately, the situation is not that simple. A few talking points and guidelines within the NIPP platform are rather disturbing, and create an open door for the internationalization of the DHS.
Ironically, Napolitano sets the stage first by pointing out the brittle nature of globalization, along with its numerous vulnerabilities:
“A vulnerability or gap in any part of the world has the ability to affect the flow of goods and people thousands of miles away. For instance, just three days after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear tragedies struck Japan last March, U.S. automakers began cutting shifts and idling some plants at home. In the days that followed, they did the same at their factories in more than 10 countries around the world…”
As I have pointed out many times in the past, the utter lack of redundancy within our globalized system makes it the most impractical and downright destructive economic model in history. Janet Napolitano seems to agree at least in part on this point. The problem is that the weaknesses of globalization are not a mistake; they are a deliberate and useful tool for further centralization of once sovereign economies. Instead of addressing the obvious concern that globalization does not work, Napolitano, like every other globalist in our government, claims that it must be propped up at all costs for the “greater good”:
“Because protecting the global supply chain is inherently an international challenge, it will take an international effort to meet it. The tremendous benefits we all reap from an interdependent global economy means that we are all stakeholders in the security of that system…”
“…we will continue to think globally, enhancing our coordination with the international community and international stakeholders who have key supply chain roles and responsibilities. We will seek to develop and implement global standards, strengthen detection, interdiction, and information-sharing capabilities, and promote end-to-end supply chain security efforts with the international community.”
What “benefits” are we “reaping” from globalization? I haven’t the foggiest idea. The internationalization of banking and finance has led to the creation and subsequent implosion of the world’s largest debt bubble and further devaluation of many of the world's currencies. Centralized and corporatized food production has led to a complete lack of self reliance within our society, contributed to food scarcity, not abundance, and opened our means of sustenance to the mad-science and genetic criminality of monstrous entities like Monsanto. The globalization of law through treaty has supplanted the U.S. Constitution, fed the growth of unaccountable and unelected councils and committees, and stricken our country with policy initiatives that weren’t even written by officials that live here. There are absolutely no substantial benefits to globalization that outweigh its considerable detriments, unless, of course, you are one of the elite few who stand at the helm of the machine.
At the Davos Economic Summit which took place in the final week of January, Napolitano announced a program called the “National Strategy For Global Supply Chain Security”:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/national_strategy_for_global_supply_chain_security.pdf
Within this plan, the DHS seeks to unite with international corporate interests in an effort to ensure the dominance of the globalist ideal of centralized economy. The collectivist rhetoric inherent within the document above is apparent. Napolitano summarizes it well when she states:
“As globalization brings nations closer together, we need to jointly disprove and leave behind the notion that security and efficiency cannot coexist, and together build a security architecture that better uses information to assess risk. By taking a coordinated, strategic and thoughtful approach, we can expedite legitimate commerce while focusing our attention on that much smaller portion that poses harm. Security and confidence in the global supply chain enhance our collective economic strength, rather than impeding progress.”
Napolitano treats globalism as an inevitability; a future without recourse and without option. A smart person might ask; “What business is it of Janet Napolitano to comment on the global economic model, let alone utilize DHS resources in its defense!” But look at it this way; by using the failings of globalization and the spectral boogie-man of terrorism as a rationale, the DHS has created a grey area in which the U.S. government can be more fully integrated into the global corporate dynamic, which furthers the disintegration of American sovereignty.
The global supply chain encompasses everything! It is a vast artificial international construct. For the DHS to truly “defend” its integrity, it will be REQUIRED to sacrifice the specific and sovereign interests of the U.S. In a globalized trade system, every economy is important, as long as it does not compete with any other economy. The U.S. economy is no exception. Harmonization diminishes the wealth of more successful nations and transfers it to less successful nations. This transfer of wealth does, in a sense, create equality; it makes everyone equally poor. By becoming the militant hand of globalization, the DHS is put in the position of hurting America in order to “save” America.
The National Strategy For Global Supply Chain Security document is extraordinarily vague when it comes to the manner in which the DHS will implement defense directives. More DHS agents at shipping ports? Of course. More DHS involvement in airline cargo centers? Certainly. But what about DHS agents overseeing trucking and freight, or even stationed at highway checkpoints (remember, the TSA is an agency under the direct authority of the DHS)? What about DHS agents acting as permanent corporate liaisons? Will corporations decide who is a threat to the global supply chain and who isn’t? What about the usage of copyrighted materials on the internet? Is this a disruption of global trade? How does the DHS actually plan to return a disrupted supply line to normal efficiency? The DHS has no production capacity, and would have to TAKE (possibly by force) a supply from somewhere in order to reinstitute it elsewhere. What about communities, states, or countries which refuse to participate in globalization? What about those who choose to decentralize? Could this not be labeled as an attempt to derail the global system, and thus be interpreted as an act of terrorism?
Under any collectivist society, the act of non-participation is always painted as an attack on the group. In a fully interdependent system, refusing to contribute automatically hurts others, and therefore, makes you a criminal by default. These systems are built this way deliberately, in order to control a population by exploiting their sense of innate guilt. The DHS may claim a limited involvement in globalization, restricted to security issues, but the very process of integration with the international corporate framework as well as foreign institutions makes the agency a catalyst for forced collectivism. Bombs in shipping containers (the bombs we’re supposed to believe are everywhere), do not warrant the massive shift of our security apparatus into a policy of global centralization. In the end, this move on the part of the DHS has nothing to do with security, and everything to do with manipulating the attitude of the general public towards globalization. It is much more difficult to challenge a methodology when that methodology is suddenly treated as a national security issue, and is defended by an army of bureaucrats and blue-shirted thugs. When a world view is made violently essential to the very survival of a people, defiance is held tantamount to treason, and change, no matter how wise, becomes impossible.

You had your freedom and .... it's gone.
XitSam,
I understand your cynicism, but must correct your assumption.
Your freedom may be gone. Mine is still intact.
Good luck to you and yours.
Off Topic: But...this deserves consideration for the Friday funnies:
Police vs. Firefighters in Brussels.
Several hundred firefighters have broken through police lines and hosed down the prime minister's office in Brussels to protest the government's tougher retirement plans. Firefighters demand to keep their early retirement age at 58, arguing their arduous job does not allow them to work into their sixties.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26dtpOZw0do
Watching the cops being hosed (literally) by firefighters is just priceless.
alien, priceless! ....I like the guy at the end hodling the tiny fire extinguisher can trying to get into the act.....lol.
Wait until tonight when the police get home and hear from the wife:
"Honey, why are you so wet. It's not raining outside."
Janet Reno OFF Spring!
I feel so secure now that the international supply-chain of autoparts is being protected by DHS.
do chicks sport hairpieces? cause that's got to be a rug
That's not a chick .
OT/ GREEK GOVERNMENT Accepts deal; parliament to vote Sunday.
In froggy tongue (sorry)
http://www.boursorama.com/actualites/le-gouvernement-grec-approuve-a-l-u...
That was priced in, according To the interbank market.
American sovereignty? Breakaway colony for a while, maybe. Otherwise I have come to doubt whether we ever really had American sovereignty. 1776...how ironic.
Hey, you want to protect the supply chain? How about we build the shit we want HERE. I must be missing something
Af far as electronics go it's a huge chicken and egg problem because all the components are made in China and that is a loooooong supply chain. If you make a gizmo in china, your factory will have a driver who can just go down the street to pick up all the gizmo parts from the various suppliers. Likewise for all the raw materials used by the component makers.
Lower-tech stuff like tools, furniture, bicycles, toys etc... with slave labor, it's vastly cheaper to do there even including freight costs. Shit you can get nice furniture shipped from China for less than the cost of the lumber here.
If there is ever a transition it will probably have to be a collapse in industry followed by a very slow rebuilding here, starting with the simplest products and if we gave it evrything we got maybe in 20 years we could be tooled up for iPads.
Now if we want to save our kids future, we should start making rubber duckies here in America. Chinese will hate to compete us.
Ism's It's all ball bearings now days. Fletch
The Department of Homeland Security is predicated on 9/11. However, architects and engineers say we need an independent investigation of 9/11, as we have yet to find the underlying cause of this tragedy. http://www.ae911truth.org/
Visit your local( CEMETERY)! The past is mind control! I guess that was a bit harsh, I love You Grand Mother.
Worrried about that pension? You should be!
I can't even watch a video containing that shitpile of a woman, one look at her is enough to make me want to see her thrown into a wood chipper.
Actually, that would be much too nice.
Why hasn't there been a public list of these criminals who violate the US Constitution for all to see? The main tactic of the globalist is to create fear among us and it's about time someone exponentiate that same fear back at them. I would be willing to pay a monthly fee to login a website and report the first and last name of any TSA agent who clearly abuses their supposed authority over us.
Please, someone make it happen!!
No!
but, you may have soup!
L0L!!!
I noticed something interesting today. I was in London Ontario Canada and on the side of multiple police cars was the motto "Deeds not words". I first thought "Like shoot first, ask questions later?" WTF does that mean? I always thought it was like "To serve and protect" or something like that! Then I realized that "Deeds not words" is the motto of the Canadian Special Forces (JTF2). So, the special forces are crusin the streets of London? Anyway, it gets better... On the back quarterpanel is the Canadian flag and arabic script right above it! WTF? Anyone have any ideas why that is like that? Why arabic? Why that motto? What does the arabic say?
Great comment! Keystone Pipeline.
What does the arabic say?
Bend over and spread 'em if you can read this sign?
Those who know, know, that Globalisation is very profitable for the monopolists and parasitic class, but a pretty raw deal for everyone else.
The productive classes are directly, or indirectly, hurt by the enforcement of the monopolists' agenda. All anyone has to do is look at companies like Monsanto or the TBTF banking institutions, to see, exactly how their multinational status and buying of politicians all over the globe, allows them to; exploit workers, dodge taxes, hide losses on balance sheets, price fix, extract wealth from sovereign treasuries through fraud and corruption and violate American anti trust laws.
Homeland Security is the private army of the Oligarchy paid for by the tax paying serfs.
Well said, 'swani'.
'...Homeland Security is the private army of the Oligarchy paid for by the tax paying serfs.'
One small consolation: US 'serfs' still have the means to dissent without being killed en masse by their government, as other protesters are in most of the world which still labours under filth like Monarchy, socialism, communism, Islamists and Zionists.
Time for the Republic to rise again, me thinks.
Well, maybe the Hungarians are partially sane, still. They ban all GMO seeds. Today, it was reported that the govt found thousands of acres of Monsanto GMO plants growing. Guess what they did....BURNED ALL OF IT!!!
Today, I am a Hungarian!
What kind of govt does something actually good and rationale these days? I think I will pack my bags and move tomorrow.
How's THAT for "supply chain disruption"? lol
people in Mexico, Central America, have been experiencing the loss of centuries worth of corn varietals, a staple of their diet, due to airborne GMO pollens from amrka, and yet, that's not even the worse case scenario,
http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2009/02/yes-its-true-gmos-contaminate...
globalisation.
If she wants to win a Nobel Peace Prize she needs to get a whole lot tougher.
Yeah, Andrei Sakharov had to invent the Russian Thermonuclear arsenal to even qualify for consideration by the no-bell prize kommittey.
Yassar Arafatt was just a soft-cock and should never have got one.
And that Israeli PM puke ... said he wanted peace ... yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ... the fucking nerve!
"And that Israeli PM puke ... said he wanted peace ... yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ... the fucking nerve!"
To be fair he probably did, putting him in a coma was to stop him compromising with the palestinians.
um, no, I've read many quotations of that bastard, there was no 'dove' in the prick, he was just a wolf with a better cut of fleece.
PUKE!
These idiots totally do not understand security. I am in consultative business risk management as a career, and I can tell you that the only way secure systems will emerge is bottom-up. Taleb's fail small, fail fast recommendations are good rules to live by. Companies and security architectures are far too big, and like the dinosaurs, will be wiped out someday. The US gov networks are leaking data like sievs, as are most large corporations networks, and it's going to get much worse, notwithstanding supply chain disruptions! It would be wise for many of these large companies to start spinning themselves off into smaller companies and units; large is fragile. Small, compartmentalized companies are more likely to thrive, ones in which the security architecture and risks can be wrapped around a single brain. Also, redundancy of the systems grown organically (you body has 2 kidneys and 2 lungs) is the only way forward. All other top-down security engineering will just make the system more fragile, and increasingly prone to spectacular collapse. Bravo Janet, you're trying to blow up the world, bravo...
Sgt, realist.
Bureaucrats think their flimsy talk is bullet proof...until it blows up in their face.
It's a pity that others humour them, or even worse, seek their 'protection'...a protection that enriches the bureaucrat, and endangers everyone else.
Who is that guy in the picture? Citizsim? Roadside shitter?
get a grip. pursuit of control is just human nature, across the board. there is, and always has been, only one real , effective way to deal with it.
Right, they're just like the big bullies in the schoolyard who need a hard punch in the mouth. That's all it is...schoolyard punks with money, big cars, and security details.
no shit...remember the good old days when the good kids would protect the little and vulnerable kids from the asshole kids...and not get reprimanded for it?
This crypto-communist apparatchik ought to be tried for treason, as should the hideous 'Justice' Greenberg who recently told foreigners that the U.S. Constitution she is sworn to uphold is too old and unworthy of their support.
Yet these treasonous tarts send record numbers of U.S. servicemen to war, contrary to the U.S. Constitution which is for the defence of the U.S., not for the offensive wars of resource grubbing globalist money masters, and their old British/European ways.
These lunatics and their fellow traveller founders of the Federal Reserve Board's alien bankster class and British/European monarchists have achieved a stealthy coup d'etat in the U.S. since 1913.
As Stalin had apparatchiks, so did Mao, Mussolini and Hitler: all the educated bureaucrats who rationalised central control, and smashed any dissent against their self-enriching, domineering globalist tyranny...by the elite, for the elite, and of the elite.
Now the U.S. government, owned by the Federal Reserve Board and its special agents Goldman Sachs and JP Morgue, also have their enforcer bureaucrats who just follow orders: this Neopolitan bint, and Greenberg, just to name two.
The only time a whore should open it's mouth is when she's giving head.
Protecting you from you, for your own benefit!
Very few people understand that the Federal corporation is an entity foreign to the States. The most graphic evidence is the Federal conquest of the States, replacing them with "states", subsidiary corporations. The Federal corporation claims right of conquest.

George,
The Wall St/Washington elite had better stay exactly where they are, and pause for their own sake.
Bring their S$it anti-Constitution any further North, and they will regret it. The quiet waters and woods of New England protects the quiet people who quietly observe, and prepare to defend our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence, our way of life.
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
So said Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. So say I, and many others.
Every facist country, dictorship and military junta has its Department Of Homeland Security. I don't need to explain why they do or what their function is.
The US has a combination of facism and dictorship of the bankster elite, bankists, Banktatorship. Its gone global too.
If Pol Pot took over a country now, instead of killing off all the educated he would simply focus on banksters.
What kind of woman would want to date that?
All the TRUE heros coming back from the ME will set it straight! UUU-Raa
H.U.A.
Heard. Understood. Acknowledged.

THe reason we get banks that are too big to fail is that people who want too see us become more socialist tear down protections put in plpace to hold each person (or company or government) responsible for their own actions and protect those who did not volentarily participate from bearing the consequences of someone elses actions. Once those barriers that protect individuals from the actions of others have been destroyed the same people who destroyed them shout about how we are all "interconnected" and we need to be made accountable to each other.
These people do not want individuals to be accountable, they want every individual subgegated to the will of the majority and to be affected by the actions of every other individual. Look at the current bank bailout. It is designed to protect individuals and the largest banks in the country from the consequences of theri own actions. They were willing participants in a system that gave home loans over 100% of the value, or on someones word that they had sufficient income, or that pushed people to buy an even biger home, and when it comes back to bite them rather than protect those not responsible we protect those who are.
"These people do not want individuals to be accountable, they want every individual subgegated to the will of the majority"
Like the christians do with marriage laws?
This is why we have elections in America. This insane power grab and service to international banks by the DHS will be sorted out by the new president. Under the new conservative Republican president, whoever wins the nomination, this international sell out of America will end. DHS will be brought under control and will be downsized and used only for direct protection of the homeland from terror attacks from radical Muslims.
I agree that these actions by Obama's DHS smack of New World Order Corporate Control that trumps the US constitution and all the former rights Americans had.
But, the new dawn of freedom under Republicans is less than a year away. This should make all Americans glad that the Obama international sell out of America will end. Republicans will change course and all will be well when republican politicians put America first and take back our country, Obama will just be a bad memory and all the DHS dickheads will be looking for work when the new president fires them.
Be prepared for the left's new tactic. Which is to say that there is no difference in leadership between republicans and democrats. They don't understand that socialism is a liberal left agenda.
..BAHHHHHH..come here sheepie..
if you sit on the fence you can judge both views on their merits, if you stay on one side of the fence you fail to see the whole picture and make bad decisions.
@Jack Burton
Are you high? Elections? The other party will fix it? Really?
Wow. The Sheeple Kool-Aid on the MSM is strong.
People still believe in the system.
We are living in a Banana Republic, Jack. They have elections in Russia and Nigeria too. Elections are for the sheeple to feel empowered, but they don't change the fact that tax payers are the serfs, and the money is going from the treasury straight into the pockets of monopolists.
Follow the money Jack, it goes straight from the monopolists into the pockets of the Banana Republicans and Democrats, and in turn, both of these puppet party members vote for Bail Outs, for subsised armies to get the monopolists cheap oil, for trade agreements that get the monopolists cheap labor, for tax laws that enable the monopolists to dodge taxes for income earned on US soil while the rest of the suckers pay more taxes every year.
If anyone questions what I'm saying, all one has to do is look at how both parties voted for the NDAA.
swani, Yes, you get my point. You are right. Elections in the USA are a joke. Two candidates, both picked before hand by the elites.
Bush/Obama. Big difference! Oh, I forget the rightwingers and leftwingers favorite topic. Abortion, birth control and prayer in schools. What a pack of fuckn' wankers! Let themselves be manipulated over a few meaningless social issues while the 1% rape the country and institute a fascist police state dedicated to protecting the 1% and their wealth and power.
I don't vote, nor am I distracted by figureheads.
by framing your choice to vote "change" as more noble than anyone else who desires to highlight the incremental laws that restrict THEIR right to decide what to do within their own body or with their sexuality - highly personal issues, yet to be decided "constitutionally" - you conveniently ignore the FACT that ALL laws are enacted incrementally, that each one is a step in a certain direction, that of CONTROL over each individual. that "abortion" and "birth control" APPEAR to be only laws that affect female humans, illustrates that you and those who think as you do, still feel somewhat secure in your realities, when in fact, it's nearing "game over" for everyone.
believe that you are on "someone's" side, and that this will serve you, will pre-serve your rights, even at the expense of other's rights - amrkns are very practised at this way of thinking, when one takes into consideration the multitude of military bases in other nationstates, supposed sovereigns, not to mention the covert, unacknowledged incremental actions that undermine other people's realities. . .
"first they came for. . ."
Part of my brain believes it is true and yet there is still part of me that clings to the hope that somewhere, somehow it isn't true. So I will vote and it'll be for Ron Paul. And the realist part of me that knows better will mock and chastise the shrinking optimist part of me but I'll still do it.
Fuck it.
the part of your brain that "clings to the hope" is the voting part, the part that still believes in amrka as a viable nationstate that you are a "free citizen" of, the part that believes a "president" can change a globalist corporate banker state.
when you break that duality, the part that you've pledged allegiance to since childhood, then you'll see clearly the fiction all of this is.
this is not to chastise you or anyone else here - but for every person who drops the "hope" of "Independence Day" flag-waving, another imaginary fence that helplessly herds folks into restrictive thinking. . . disappears.
peace jena.
You forgot the /sarc after your post.
Indeed! I was making the point that this DHS monster will live on and perhaps grow even more dangerous under a new conservative president.
I welcome any republican who reads ZH to make the case that DHS will change under their man. Seriously, who believes that? Only the truely brainwashed have forgotten the Bush administration. Remember? It was only a few years ago. Obama simply picked up the ball that Bush fumbled and has carried it across the goal line to create a fascist corporate banana republic super police state that serves the corporate fascist agenda.
Oh sure, Socialist Obama. Socialist? Only the truly drugged out on crack crowd believes that the last three years have been socialist. Have the poor been handed the wealth. Jesus! The rich have never had it so good, corporate profits are through the roof. The 1% have reaped untold wealth off of the money printing agenda handed out at ZIRP to the bankers and well connected.
If the next republican president changes anything, beyond some meaningless social issues, please come back to ZH and tell me "I told you so".
The right is addicted to calling everyone not in the 1% a socialist, it is a clever tactic, but only a fool can't see through it. Show me the socialists in 2012 America! Where are they, and what policies have they gotten through that did not already exist under Mr. Bush.
Rush Limbaug ain't God, he is a fat, old, drug addicted liar and draft dodger who let others fight the commies while he hid under his bed. Fuckn' Coward. Limbaugh, fat drug addict! Who believes him other than the other old, fat, drug addicted draft dodgers hiding under their beds with their lap tops!
Ron Paul would kill the whole department for sure along with the DEA.
Assuming they didn't get him first.
Ever heard of Rhino. Republican in name only. This unfortunately is how much of the republican party is populated. Too many do not have conservative principals when it comes to fiscal and constitutional issues. Why? They want to be liked by the elite media in my opinion. It takes courage to stand up to the entitlement driven arrangements especially when the media will be relentless in saying you want to kill their grand parents. That is principally why the Tea Party came in to being. What was the first thing that happened to them. Tea bag this tea bag that by the media. You see what I mean. Never the less courage will not come from the left and in my opinion the only hope for change will come from the conservative right. George W. Bush was not a conservative republican though his dad was and so was Reagan. Remember George's line of compassionate conservative. Pure Rhino nonsense. I'm not one to give up just yet on the system though.
Just because the wealth has not been spread to you does not mean the system is not full of socialists. Liberal retards who think they can spend over and above the gdp populate all failed governments. It's a sad fact. Whether these guys meet your definition of a socialist, marxist, fascist, etc. lets just agree they have no knowledge or liking of capitalism. Socialists 2012 are by example found everywhere to the tune of 45 million US citizens on food stamps alone and growing(Nancy Pelosi comments that this stimulates the economy). Look at how long people stay on unemployment now (99 weeks used to be I believe 52). It is estimated that now over 50% of the population gets some form of government assistance. Obamacare just put 40 million more on to socialized medicine(meaning we pay for there care). I don't know how many more examples of socialism you need Jack but there is plenty more.
What we do agree on is that the banksters have screwed this country up almost beyond repair.
Now how do we fix it:
1.Break up the banks for number one. Too big to fail means they are simply too big.
2. Fire Bernanke and ask Paul Volcker to take over for a period of time.
3. Audit the Federal Reserve.
4. End the funding of the IMF.
5. Buy American made products and services made or produced here.
6. Tax imports from China, India, etc. who have a standard of living our workers can't compete against fairly.
There is the start and I'm sure you can add to it.
Reminds me of the story of the old democrat who was offended at an Air Force fighter formation flying over the Clinton inauguration, to which his democratic fellow attendee said, "Don't you understand? Those are our jets now."
DHS is here to stay.
Jack,
At first I didn't take your comment as sarcasm and down-arrowed you....my apologies.
I should have known it was too articulate to be genuine

Who wants a dose of reality....the unpleasant, I can't bevlieve our government does this kind of shit reality? And it does not end there my friends....secret money laundering activities by the vatican, Spanish judge being relieved from his post for trying to uncover atrocities during the long gone Franco regime...etc etc etc. Truth is we are all entangled in a big web of incredibly sinister sting pullers in the shadows.

Ever notice how U.S. citizens are being stripped of their rights, taxed to death, bankrupted by medical expenses, thrown into unemployment, given second class status wherever "preferences" are doled out ... meanwhile, illegal aliens are given more and more rights and privileges. In many states they receive free or reduced tuition, welfare, food stamps, free medical care, low-rate home loans, Social Security benefits and much more. Is this to ensure our "supply chain."
Rights come from God, and we cannot have God in the public arena ... Something about the First Amendment or whatever. So we need to take your rights away from you to protect you. Yeah, that's the ticket!
The only problem with saying God grants human beings rights is it's absolutely flat out false if the Bible is your reference.
The Bible says God is "not a respecter of persons." God grants no rights to human beings in the Bible.
That "self evident" stuff in the Declartion of Independence is about as Biblical as Israel's "right to exist". Both are purely anti-Biblical philosophies, sorry.
Made me laugh.
I noticed how propaganda is growing cheaper by the day with US citizens.
If it is true, the solution is simple: turn down your US citizenship and voila, you are an illegal invited to live in the country known to be a paradise for illegals, the US of A.

I think we need a UN resolution that only hot chicks are allowed to be lesbians in public. Actually could we just outlaw ugly? That would be in my best interest, and in the best interests of everyone I know. Except the ugly ones, but they're the ones bringing the rest of us down, so I'm sure they won't mind the sacrifice for the public good.
it that avatar your offspring or do you only sound like a neanderthal ape?
At least we have a monster to be pissed about. It would really suck if the secretary looked like Eva Mendez or someone hot like that.
What a twisted cunt.

NWO = Communism [great on theory, grossly lacking in reality]
Stalin and Mao Zedong had their own brand of HomeLand Security - total destruction of Humanity
United States is now clearly on the path of communism, and most definitely followed by a complete Fascist State
are we there yet? you betcha
when's the last time you've actually been able to choose your candidate that hasn't been already selected for you - presidential election, senatorial elections, congressional House elections - gerrymandering fixes them all -
perhaps we are already a Fascist State but in denial
nice read

Ps. God Bless You Julian Assange!
Stalin and Mao were communist in the same way that bernanke and bush are capitalist.
CORRUPT.
The Vulnerabilities are frankly bemusing. Floods in Thailand raise the pricve of Seagate hard drives because Western dIgital factories afre flooded and Samsung and Hitachi throw in the towel and sell out to WD and Seagate. Microsoft is impacted by fewer computer shipments. Taiwan is the global centre for laptop and tablet design and China for production. Therefore a strategic US interest is the preservation of Hon Hai (Foxconn) , Samsung, Hanspree and other LCD and component producers. Isn't this lunatic ?
Look at that picture, folks. Have you ever seen a more typical power hungry feminazi whose only goal is to make as many people as miserable as possible?
I see these types of women every day. Hate 'em, because they're inauthentic and they know it, so they have to take it out on everybody else.
you see only what your mind wants you to see....never the full picture and never without distortion
Maybe Janet or these women around you just need some love and maybe your true calling in life is to give that to them.
What's the daily rate for that? I heard somewhere $60/day.

"The National Strategy For Global Supply Chain Security document is extraordinarily vague when it comes to the manner in which the DHS will implement defense directives."
This is the key takeaway...the vaguer the bigger.
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Janet Reno always had a "pissed off mom" look. You could almost see a faint glimmer of humanity in her. I see zero humanity in Janet Napolitano. She is nothing but a cold, hard, ruthless bitch hell bent on destroying any residual hope for a constitutional republic. I'm sure she gets sadistic joy out of it.
DHS is a NWO enforcement arm... Wake up, people... corruption and suppression are twins, look at the puppet Obama and the other puppets Romney and Santorum... decent patriots like Paul get slimed by all the media outlets... the new Nazis are here...

I used to work in the prison system and I learned very quickly not to punish the group because of the actions of an individual. Pay attention you all.
we are all global supply chains now
9/11 was needed to build an anti-terrorism system... for the future.
They know very well that sooner or later people will revolt, and in a controlled global system the only way will be... terrorism against the state.
We're all enemies of the state, we just don't know it yet...
Cheap propaganda as usual. Using the same old ropes.
Once again, US citizenism call for submission requires to suspend disbelief to higher and higher degrees.
Once again, one has to believe that globalization started four decades ago.Which is blatantly wrong.
What is happening is that globalization is no longer that unambiguously exclusively favourable to US citizens, other world inhabitants start to get their share of the global pie.
One has to believe that the US got nothing from globalization. Brazen claim when the US has been produced by globalization.
One has to confuse globalism and US world order.
Home land security for an empire like the US starts with securing the supply lines, supply lines that could exist in a non global world.
The world was non global for many empires before US empire.
They had to secure supply lines exterior to their domestic land. Their homeland security relied on that. Protecting the order that put them on top.
Etc...
Move on, nothing new under the sun. Only US citizens who feel they are losing their US citizen status and are screaming in fear. Too many US citizens. Not enough Indians.
You know, this "US Citizenism" schtick just isn't all that catchy, which really detracts from your important message ... Maybe you should work on something more catchy, like "Ameraptchik" as your catch word.
My important message?
I have none. US citizenism unfolds. That is all.
As said before, human nature is unpredictable but when harnessed by US citizenism, it becomes predictable.
That is the value of it. Prediction.
However much the crypt-fascist, running dog imperialist Chinese citizenism regime pays you to troll your puerile anti-American nonsense in this and other forums, it is too much.
How does it feel to be a slave and willing lackey for the crypto-fascist, warmongering, running dog imperialist Chinese citizenism regime? Really, we would like to know.
How can you say there are not enough Indians? There are over 1,170,938,000 of them. I mean how many more do you want?
I mean I have heard of selfish US citizens before, but for god sake, you could blot out the sun with that number of Indians. And you want more?
I have to agree with the other poster your material is getting stale. You were doing a better job of changing your message up, then we came back to this.
Can't change minds if you can't change the message.
Change?
Ummmm, I dont know where this notion comes from.
I have zero expectation of change.
Predictions are validated as events unfold. The time to wait for is irrelevant.
As Stoolman Mousey Tongue, founder of the Crypt-Fascist Imperialist Blobbing-up People's Republic of Nose Picking, famously declared in his Diminutive Carmine Brochure:
"All idiocy flows from the barrel of running dog Chinese citizenism."

MONTE CARLO SIMULATION-BASED SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION MANAGEMENT FOR WARGAMES
Shilan Jin, Jun Zhuang Industrial and Systems Engineering SUNY at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14228, USA
Zigeng Liu Wisconsin School of Business University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706, USA
In this paper, we integrate supply chain risk management with a government-terrorist game conducted in war zones (such as Afghanistan and Iraq). The equilibrium outcomes of wargames depend on the government’s resources delivered through military supply chains, which are subject to disruptions such as natural disasters and terrorism. We study the government’s optimal pre-disruption preparation strategies,including inventory protection and capacity backup protection. Considering the uncertainties (e.g., the outage length of a disruption and the level of resources available to the terrorist), we conduct Monte Carlo simulation experiments to numerically investigate the benefits using our disruption preparation strategies compared with other strategies.
This research was supported by the United States Department of Homeland Security through the National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE) under grant number 2007-ST-061-000001. Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations in this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect views of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Today I present to you a report entitled, Warlord, Inc.: Extortion and Corruption Along the U.S. Supply Chain in Afghanistan, which has been prepared by the Majority staff of the Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. After a six-month investigation, the report exposes the circumstances
surrounding the Department of Defense’s outsourcing of security on the supply chain in Afghanistan to questionable providers, including warlords.
www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/HNT_Report.pdf
The White House released its National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security on January 25, 2012.
The strategy aims to "establish the United States Government's policy to strengthen the global supply chain in order to protect the welfare and interests of the American people and secure our Nation's economic prosperity. Our focus in this Strategy is the worldwide network of transportation, postal, and shipping pathways; assets and infrastructure by which goods are moved from the point of manufacture until they reach an end consumer; and supporting communications infrastructure and systems.
The Strategy includes two goals:
• To Promote the Efficient and Secure Movement of Goods – The first goal is to promote the timely and efficient flow of legitimate commerce while protecting and securing the supply chain from exploitation, and reducing its vulnerability to disruption. To this end we will enhance the integrity of goods as they move through the global supply chain. We will also understand and resolve threats early in the process, and strengthen the security of physical infrastructure, conveyances, and information assets while seeking to maximize trade through modernizing supply chain infrastructure and processes.
• To Foster a Resilient Supply Chain – The second goal is to foster a global supply chain system that is prepared for and can withstand evolving threats and hazards and that can recover rapidly from disruptions. To achieve this we will prioritize efforts to mitigate systemic vulnerabilities and refine plans to reconstitute the flow of commerce after disruptions."
http://www.cfr.org/homeland-security/national-strategy-global-supply-cha...
To enforce cybersecurity of U.S. supply chains, it is necessary for the government and its citizens to engage in a unique collaborative effort. Every user of a cyber-enabled device has in their hands a point of vulnerability and a source of potential attack, and is a potential cyber warrior. Congress and the executive branch must engage cooperatively in defining roles and responsibilities. Diplomatic solutions must be explored, and a public-private partnership must develop. Responsibility must be shared among the government, the private sector, and every private citizen to protect U.S. cyber assets.
Recommendations
A number of recommendations may be made to advance
the national understanding of cyber threats in general and
supply chain threats in particular. The U.S. must:
1. Ensure the nation is prepared to react to and preempt cyber attacks;
2. Make supply chain security part of the establishment of an overall cyber intelligence capability;
3. Develop the ability to build a limited number of computer and communication systems that are absolutely certain to be secure; and
4. Carry out a sustained strategic communications campaign to provide the public with a realistic appreciation of the cyber threat.

And so on, and so forth.
Hmm - looks like some Chinese nationals have got a corner on Monte-Carlos simulation of the US supply chain. Looks like a vulnerability right there ;-)
"Ten years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, we also continue to see the determination of individuals and groups to disrupt economies by targeting our transit and cargo systems."
Has anyone seen ANY evidence of this?
No, but there are TSA'S VIPR teams interfering with commerce and movement of people, goods and services at train stations, bus terminals, and highway truck stops and rest stops. Does that count?
If there was a cheering emoticon I would use it right now, for both of the above two posts.
What is NOT said is just as important as what is said: this supply chain plan feels like Agenda 21 planning. So, protected supply chain produce and product will be identified. If a person wants to trade in produce/product NOT identified as part of the supply chain, that will probably be defined as illegal.
Globalisation is not a problem. The problem is that it's just an idea and doesn't really exist.
Today, your life and freedom to act depend on the color of your passport. Can you work in the US or in Europe if you were born in Chile or China? Only if and when the government says you can (which he doesn't do too often).
It is today illegal to open a bank account in another country without telling your government!!!
Talk to me about the flaws of globalisation when it exists. It's like blaming capitalism for the rescue of the banking system by the government. This had nothing to do with capitalism.
Napolitano wants Homeland Security to be bodyguards to General Motors!
Can't GM pay for their own security?
The strength of globalisation is your orange juice supply gets hit in California and you call up Spain or Puerto Rico and order some more. There's zippo Govt can do to make the supply chain more diverse (like the internet) ..its hand is usually to harmoginise into a monopolist carve-up pile of non-performing poo (see utilities, healthcare, etc)
The weakness of Napolitanos' Orwellian moves is she wants to centralise survelience and oversight (ie. control) ...nothing is less stable, or more stupid, than Govt (mis)management
The batty bitch wants to double-up on dumb
The problem with the world is Govt
You know the chick in Exorcist ... Janet
Now you know

Bruce can sometimes be a real pontificating ass too. I stopped reading him.
Globalism is just a symptom of a bigger problem. They want to control every aspect of your serfdom everywhere in the world.
Globalism as it is now is the consequence of US citizenism.
Public spitting, nose-picking, farting and roadside shitting is the inevitable consequence of vile, rabbit-breeding, micro-penis Chinese citizenism.
Politicians and regulators can not be trusted to make sound decisions regarding government growwth. They are all spring loaded to get bigger and bigger until we change as a nation and no longer put up with this. They need to admit they over-reacted and re-focus and re-organize the DHS. Maybe start by cutting their budget by 30% and giving them guidelines on what their most important missions are through simple legislative statements. Hope this doen't make me a ter.r..ist

props2009 spammed a link to his crummy little site and then said:
Yes, that certainly is an interesting and relevant perspective on the direction in which Janet Napolitano is taking the DHS.
It seems that props2009 has the same perspective in every one of his comments, which isn't surprising since he's a shill for capital3x.
A quick google search reveals that capital3x has established a pattern of using shills to pollute blog comment sections by spamming links to their site as well as pretending to be satisfied capital3x customers:

thank you Janet for your complete and utter betrayal of the people of the United States of America.
If this is true, shouldn't she be removed from office immediately. Shouldn't the entire adminsitration based on the secretly bargained treaties (Acta), the complete and utter decimation of the US miltary by packing it full of 'leaders' not open to the idea of dawa - the whitewashing of Major Hassan Ft. Hood shootings, the ever constant comments by the president that our constitution is a document of negative liberties that it doesn't tell us what the government 'must' do for us. This alone is betraying the constitution.
The fully facist efforts of the administration in pairing with the media and corporations are making a full out assault on the constitution. Even Bader Ginsburg with her comments that our constitution should not be the model for other countries new constitutions...it should be the south african constitution which among many things supports 'open society'. This is first and foremost anti-constitutional. Since her oath is to uphold and defend, I think she needs to be removed from office. WHERE ARE OUR FUCKING LEADERS???
Make no mistake - I am not against the US Government - I am against this administration and what it is trying to do.
Also, an argument can be made that this is all politicians, right or left, but still, I have not lived under conditions such as these in my 48 years. Never.
What's a matter DHS? Are you afraid that the truth of your false illusions have reared its ugly head?
You reap what you sow. Now go grab your blankly and place your thumb in mouth.

Anonymous The Bankers are the Problem: A poetic warning
Why do all the communist leaders around the world all wear the same fucking suits? Shemales like her always look better in leather.....But then I am always drunk.
I´m in a Central America country right now for the winter, having a great time enjoying my Freedom. I do not look forward to going back to the USA and giving it back up until next Fall. Is a major topic of expats here.
Some Czechs who lived under communism remarked how they went to a park in Chicago and were greeted by a big sign with a list of 20 things that were forbidden -- they had a laugh and took a picture of the sign -- said it was worse than under Soviet controlled communism.
Down here you still just get to do what you want unless it is explicitly forbidden. In the USA, any act is now unlawful unless permission is explicitly allowed. That is a big tipping point because all acts must be now surveilled for possible enforced. Conditioning of the masses for repression.
A pissed-off American middle class is still the biggest threat to the NWO and global banker government. Resources are being poured into a stealth crackdown that is squeezing like an Anaconda.
Sadly, despite many warnings of Hope & Change rhetoric.. the public fell into the hook, line, and sinker brainwashed mode.
Don't kid yourself about the middle class. The only aspirations that White middle class has is to run away and hide in gated communities, eat pizza, watch black men play football and kiss asses of upper management CEO class.
Blacks are the only force in America capable of change. In some of my conversations with poor blacks and Hispanics I was astounded by how much they knew about financial exploitation of America. You see work is by definition exploitation and a form of slavery and most black people ain't gonna let white men exploit them again for profit. Welfare is by itself a form of warfare .
linrom,
Sadly, you are mistaken. The American black leadership has long since been co-opted by the globalist central bank cartel, as you will see in this link to research by a Jewish PhD:
http://www.henrymakow.com/is_obama_literally_americas_fi.html
Your time would be better spent defending the good Americans of every colour, creed and religion who uphold the Constitution, and oppose those who undermine it.
My advise to you, stay till the beginning of April. March will be a bitch.
well, good luck avoiding the old "this too will pass" NW0 en-tropicGoo, Gwar!
but as you say, the US middleClass may be the actualBattleground, b4 other shangri-la-laz
so, enjoy "ex-patting" w/ the other retired yuppies!
don't forget to vote!
The problem with Central American countries is that their systems are weak, and prone to sudden violence, with no respect for property law beyond the promise of the government of the day, bribed by the biggest bidder.
That might be said about the U.S., but it is a question degree, gringo. Are you indigenous or the foreigner to be attacked.
Peace and sunshine may pass without warning. Better to stay home, and defend the Republic, in my humble opinion.
1984 all over again.
A "War College" teacher was on CSPN 7-8 years ago giving a lecture to adult students (high-ranking military, bureaucrats, etc.)
In plain English he says (decent paraphrase): the purpose of the global US military presence is to enfore "free" trade.
I kid you not.
I bought the lecture on DVD.
Do you call, oh, about $3T/annual for "defense" "free"?
Did you know the entire nuclear arsenal is not even part of the military defense budget? (under some nuclear regulatory budget)
The US nuclear arsenal is largely under the control of private contractors, fyi. Bechtel & Lockheed Martin are large players.
