Mike Krieger Presents "The Playbook"
Submitted by Mike Krieger of KAM LP
It's like a ride in an amusement park and when you go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, round and round, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun for a while. Some have been on the ride a long time and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And others have remembered and they come back to us and they say: Hey, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride. And we kill those people.
Shut him up, I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry, my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real. It's just a ride, but we always kill those good guys who try to tell us that and let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride and we can change it anytime we want. No job, no savings money, just a choice right now between fear and love.
- Bill Hicks 1961-1994 (great quick little clip here)
The Playbook
It was always going to be a scary thing when the American Empire decided to turn its sights inward. Americans like to look at “shock and awe” and cheer. They think murder is fun and games. They think we are winning when we lose a little bit more with every new bomb we hurl. They think we are killing “the enemy” when in reality we are killing ourselves. The truth is that all the shadow government in the U.S. (you know the unelected guys that never leave and tell the elected guys what to do) has been doing is what corrupt elites have been doing since the beginning of time. Protecting their commercial interests. While many here in the United States have been lulled back into another complete coma state by the garbage that spews from the television set and a stock market that marches higher every day with no volatility, the shadow government is using this time wisely. They are passing laws such as the NDAA, which as we know allows for the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial. In case you haven’t seen some of the commentary by several Senators on the matter take a quick look for yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xytHJRmY0PI. Joseph Lieberman is one of the most despicable and downright evil Americans to have ever “served” this country.
Beyond the NDAA, TPTB are rushing to silence the thing they fear the most. The internet. As I have said for years now, the internet is the game changer and the reason I believe TPTB cannot win this fight using the same strategies that have been used by immoral control freak elites since the dawn of human civilization. This is because the “playbook” has been exposed. There are many plays in this book, and over the years I have outlined many of them, but the two that they like the most and the ones we need to be most aware of are. 1) Divide and conquer. 2) Problem, reaction, solution.
First to divide and conquer. This is employed mostly within the U.S. on geographic lines. These are represented by the “coasts” and the “heartland.” These different segments of the population are then divided into different political parties, the Republicans (red team) and the Democrats (blue team). As I have demonstrated time and time again, and as is readily apparent if you are paying any attention whatsoever, these particles are identical on all of the major issues although they talk a big game during the election season. As of late, people have started to realize that on the big issues they are the same so here is where the all important “social issues” come into play. TPTB could not be happier than Santorum is doing well in the Republican primaries. Why? He is a big government Republican just like that last thug we had in the White House before the current banker puppet. Santorum is extremely divisive. They LOVE that. He gets people riled up on social issues which then shoves the people reluctantly back into their respective teams like good little proles. Think about it. Santorum’s big issue is birth control. I mean really? Anyone that falls for this game gets what they deserve I suppose, but my role is to show you the game. Remember, it is Ron Paul that doesn’t fit into any mold. Ron Paul is someone that unites rather than divides. He reminds America that we are one culture based on one Constitution (remember Justice Ginsberg publicly stated her disdain for it recently http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/talking-sense/2012/f...). This is why they hate him. This is all very intentional. Speaking of which, here is a great summary of politics in America today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOaCemmsnNk. It is no surprise that shortly after he aired this segment his show was canceled. 1.2 million views already though. Not too shabby.
So now onto Problem, Reaction, Solution. This was employed in the U.S. in 2008 to consolidate power at the top by bailing out the elites and bankrupting the rest of us. People instinctively know this, hence the emergence of the Tea Party movement and then OWS this summer (notice how they used divide and conquer tactics on the population as soon as each of these movements came onto the scene). So as we know back in 2008 the “problem” was financial crisis, the “reaction” was plunging financial markets and total fear on behalf of the population, while the “solution” was bankster bailouts and the a further consolidation at the top. The Federal Reserve now has more power and the Too Big To Fail banks are a bigger part of the financial system than they were before. How’s that for a solution!
In any event, they are not done with this playbook by any means. We need to look to Europe now to see what TPTB have in store for us. This is the consummate problem, reaction, solution game being played for all the marbles. First, you get the problem “spiking interest rates for the peripheral countries.” Then the “reaction,” financial panic and fear. Finally the “solution.” The placement of unelected technocrats as the leaders of Greece and Italy with ties to all the power structure’s institution such as the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group and of course Goldman Sachs. It is like a coup that takes the shadow government from the shadows and puts them in your face. The reason that this is so key is because we are next. They don’t want to roll up everything at once. If they can get Europe safely consolidated then they will move here. That is when interest rates in the U.S. will spike (problem), and we get panic (reaction) and then the solution (bankster technocratic committees in charge and the IMF to the rescue, ie loss of sovereignty). This is the plan and I see it as clear as day.
The Internet
So back to the internet. Just because what I outlined above is the plan it doesn’t mean it will succeed. Although many will disagree, I am 100% convinced that TPTB are way behind schedule and experiencing considerably more problems than they thought in implementing their agenda. I also think the internet is the main reason for their issues. The internet is the printing press on steroids. In fact, it may be the most significant event to have ever happened in the evolution of humanity as a species in the last 5,000 years. What has been done since the days of Babylon is tiny groups of elites have been able to control populations and dominate them via the “playbook.” The other thing they use is advanced technology that they do not share with the public, but that is another topic entirely. In any event, the internet allows us to connect like never before and expose their tactics and criminality in a way that was unimaginable in prior eras. Humanity is using it to connect with one another and we are saying to each other: “hey, my government tells me you are my enemy and I should hate you but you are just like me. You have fears and dreams and all you want is to be happy and live a good life. Maybe my government and your government are actually the problem. We shouldn’t hate each other. We should get rid of the bastards manipulating us.”
That is why they want to censor the internet, but it is too late. The cat is out of the bag and they have lost. However, they will keep trying until they kill themselves because they are not used to losing. Did you catch the recent article from the Wall Street Journal about how the UN is trying take over monitoring the internet. Yep, it’s all right here. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020479240457722907402319532...
Coming to America: 30,000 Drones
Did you know that a bill passed two weeks ago that allocates $63 billion to the FAA to increase the existence of drones operating in U.S. airspace to 30,000 by the end of the decade. Here is an article on it http://digitaljournal.com/article/319564#ixzz1nD1SasR3. To all those that say things are “getting better” I say watch what they do not what they say. What the shadow government is doing is scrambling like little rodents to get the police state fully in place for the inevitable unraveling of this sick world they have created and to protect the fruits of the theft they have committed. Watch what they do not what they say. Watch closely.
Quick Market Commentary
I actually can’t believe the nonsense I am hearing lately from people in the financial markets lately. People that know better. People are definitely drinking the kool-aid again in this business. Now I am not saying that means a stock market crash is imminent since they can create all the counterfeit fiat money they want and goose things further. What it does tell me is that something is coming. Could be a bond event. Could be a precious metals explosion. Could be a false flag terror attack followed by war with Iran. I don’t know, but something is coming that will wake people up violently and suddenly. Liquidity always makes people lose their heads because at the end of the day we are herd creatures. Take all of this how you want but I have noticed this change. Go back to sleep America.
31 inches in the last seven days up here in the mountains. I’ll be riding powder tomorrow.
Peace and wisdom,
Mike

We need a law that pegs revolving credit and student loans to a point or two above the Fed rate.
All existing and future credit.
That will hoist the MF's on their own pitard.
"Ron Paul that doesn’t fit into any mold. Ron Paul is someone that unites rather than divides. He reminds America that we are one culture based on one Constitution. This is why they hate him."
"They" hate him too because he probably is clean as a whistle.
Hey CIA don't you like your men with skeletons? bet Romney's got some crazy shit.
FBI here is your chance to rid scourge of the earth.

04/06/2011 - On April 6, Grant F. Smith presented a comprehensive review of the US-Israel Free Trade Agreement to the Finance and Economics Council at the University of Rochester. Using a slide show of declassified documents and charts, Smith revealed how secret agreements and a joint Israeli embassy/AIPAC covert operation undermined US industries and the trade negotiating process. New quantitative analysis and disclosures reveal the US-Israel trade agreement is actually a $10 billion/year foreign aid program. Smith also discusses how major omissions in Dan Senor and Saul Singer's 2009 Council on Foreign Relations book Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle undermine their two major findings: that perpetual conflict gives Israel a comparative advantage and that the US should reinstate conscription in order to match Israel's entrepreneurial output.

02/09/07 - Al Jazeera report on IRmep's "Visa Denied" book. Visa denials to Arab League visitors has caused an estimated $101 billion dollars in losses to manufacturing industries in the US. Losses for travel and tourism are approximately $1.8 billion. Higher education, which is not usually considered a service export, has had losses of around $2 billion which is equivalent to 9,000 jobs. This is problematic because the Arab market is extremely attractive to the United States.

Krieger offers 2 names that say volumes: Zionist pol Lieberman and Red lawyer Ginsberg. YKW: 2 tentacles of the same warmongering, globalist Tribal Squid.
Trav and Ratso like to pump each other
just a tad disingenuous there, as you, and Mike, well know. . .
as is naming something you believe doesn't personally affect you a "social issue" - nice wave-of-the-hand dismissal - "social" is for the silly people, not the SERIOUS people, right?
Ron Paul has many good "selling points" - but to purposefully ignore his full belief system highlights the whole voting charade for what it truly is. . .
Sanctity of Life - Bill Hicks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaXbBNDwa5Q
Is your link supposed to imply that Ron Paul only loves unborn children and not the rest of the people that inhabit this old rock? Because if it is, it is you that is disingenuous.
Maybe a little clarity would help from giving you a down, red arrow
my post was in reply to the quote from the OP that "Ron Paul unites rather than divides" and goes on to refer to Santorum as "getting people riled up on social issues" like "birth control" while Paul "reminds America that we are one culture based on one Constitution" - that his Sanctity of Life seeks to change favouring a religious belief which IMO has no place in the governing of people forced to be citizens.
calling for amendments to the Constitution which will redefine a zygote, and allow "law enforcement" over a woman's body a "social issue" is offensive to me, as I stated.
I chose the Bill Hicks link for rather obvious reasons - he's the lead in to the article, he gets major props from readers here - and he had an opinion on Sanctity of Life proposals.
is that enough clarity for you? I'm absolutely nonplussed by "down, red arrows" - on this subject, here, I fully expect them. doesn't stop me from adding my opinions to the mix. this is Fight Club, amirite?
/shrug.
"30,000 drones in American skies"?
They are just about to give Anonymous the firepower they need... It's not a bullet in the foot, it really is a bazooka in the 4$$... These guys really learn nothing...
Because there really are no conspiracies, so any one who talks about one must be crazy, right?

I'm really stupid. Could anybody explain to me how come crude oil rallies and we have SP500 up 3 points? This market is getting just absolutely ridiculous. I bet that old fart Ben Shalom is laughing as I write this.

Mike may have decent intentions, but he always starts these missives off with quotes he doesn't explain, which is an elementary way to write, and, not sure if I should blame him though, is somewhat responsible for Max Keiser using the Buy Silver, Slam JPM's Short Position movement which began here, on Zero Hedge.
What I want to know is , where is Mike's allegence? He often comments in interviews about his posts here, on Zero Hedge, but does he stand above us, only to shout down the mountainside about what we should do? Or does he stand with us?
Considering I have once heard Max Keiser mention that the Buy Silver movement started here, I guess he is off the hook (although, IMO, Max should mention Zero Hedge almost everytime he says "Buy Silver"). But Mike, the man who is said to have leant Max the meme, has never once mentioned the movement.
So once again we get a missive from Mike. Mike who lords above us. Personally I feel that if Mike and Max had any respect for Zero Hedge they would show it by not parading the site around like a call girl, but instead would understand that Zero Hedge is above any of us, especially them.
BUY SILVER; DESTORY THE FIAT PONZI
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."
I don't read his shit, ever. It's too goddamn long.
At least he has good taste in comedians.
R.I.P Hicks, you were the best, we could use your observant and charismatic personality to sort through a lot of this chaff today.
writers who get paid "by the word" or length of article is where this annoying trait comes from - the worst are authors who have an idea & pad it out to booklength to get the publishing royalties. . .
I've learned who to read, and who to skim. . .
"I don't read his shit, ever. It's too goddamn long."
Jesus fucking christ are you serious? So you never read any of the classics either? Math is hard too, maybe throw that under the bus? Never read Hayek I take it?
It took me maybe 3 min to read...... and that is too fucking long? No, it is not too long. You are just too fucking stupid. Bill Hicks would despise you. Looks like WE DO NOT have ourselves a "reader".
Yep, and Obama is just another peaceful agrarian reformer.
Would be a good way to both exercise our second amendment rights and really enjoyable civil disobedience.
If drones blot out the sun, the #r3volution will continue in the shade.
When the drones come, they run and hide their heads, they might as well be dead, when the drones come.

do you cretins even vaguely get how hard it is to hit a small moving airplane at a mile up with small arms?
There exists the "wall of fire" principle for hitting moving airplanes with small arms fire for a reason. This is established military doctrine. The problem is that you cannot maintain this against a fking drone without being detected and targeted.
Nevermind you won't even be able to see the drone. You'd be better off thinking about how to configure scopes with arrays of DVD lasers and burn a hole in the thing or something.
I'm working on the Klingon "cloaking" device
Yep, as fun as multi-million dollar skeet shootin' sounds, Trav is right.
Maybe Anonymous can hack some down... You pick a landing "target..." I mean... landing "site." Be creative.
just in the last month an animal rights group was using a private drone to monitor a managed bird hunt. the hunters hid among the trees and blew the drone to bits.
wtf did I just say?
Did you read and understand the difference between an RC helicopter and a military drone?
Oquities
Unforunately not quite true, it was damaged but not blown to bits..........damn it.
I sure miss the good old days when folks minded their own damned business.
These damn earthers/PETA idiots, are part of the SOS religion of Secular humanism.
YOU WILL OBEY our rules,because you ARE WRONG..........matters not if you have a legal right to do something, if they disagree with it.........they disrupt it,time to start beating the shit out of folks who break the laws, trying to stop people doing what is within the law, from doing what they want to.
Maybe that would soon but an end to these Masters of the Earth Godess Guya.
Need to step up development of low-cost hunter-killer counter-drones. Get the DIY plans disseminated asap and we'll have high-school anarchists solving this one for us. Just thinking out loud.
This drone was not very sophisticated, nevertheless...
Animal rights group says drone shot down"Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out," Hindi said in the release. "As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter."
He claimed the shooters were "in tree cover" and "fled the scene on small motorized vehicles."

"Just like shootin' womp rats, eh kid?"
~Hans Solo
take a look at the MQ9's performance stats or the global hawk. These are just the declassified drones.
You will not be hitting them without SAMs.
How about hitting them with a combination of peak oil, Iran war, wild goose chases, and Lord Humongous and his gang harassing fuel convoys?
Sorry, they'll be out of range and hard to spot.
My guess is that if you ever see one, you won't be for very long.
I'm guessing they can "see" through all the chaff being aerosoled nowadays? which of course makes them impossible to spot. . . yah.
Unfortunately, they're 2 miles up, you can't see or hear them. The best way to stop them is to NOT let them get off the ground.
These pigeons shoot back.
Mike Kreiger's references to the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberger Group and poor old Goldman Sachs as the real sources of power are his confession that he is just another right wing, wingnut who should be placed on ignore.
Boooo Mike Krieger!
That is so 2007. Go back to the Yahoo sheeple boards, most here understand what disinformation is.
Not only is the government preparing 30,000 spy drones for domestic use but the Pentagon wants to deploy 7,500 combat drones over America.
They're for our own safety. If we don't have drones, the terrorists win. /sarc
Pretty genius though, declaring war on a noun. Clearly it's unwinnable which is a pretty clever move.
Can I declare war on passive voice? It bugs the shit out of me. Er I mean, was passive voice considered to have been declared war on by I?
Sigh, is it happy hour yet?
We are all Terrorists now...
is anyone watching the MUB (municipal bonds) looks like we had a hockey stick top and now quite possible a collapse......get your popcorn ready
Q is will the US Citizen sit back and take it?
I hope not and I do believe as I am reminded a lot on this board that they are very well armed.
How well those home armaments are against an army of drones ....only time will tell.
problem is, most americans are too fucking stupid to know how to shoot a gun. been too busy with the oscars coming up this weekend to go to the shooting range...
Something is coming.... Something big and very bad.
Michelle Obama?!
lulz
yes - focus all your attention on her, never let any chance to mention her pass you by. . .
Yes it is. But when it gets here it'll be immediately described as something that the gov't will use to consolidate power and further trash our bill of rights. I doubt it'll actually "wake sheeple up" to what the actual problems are, unfortunately.
It's going to be up to alternative news media to get the word out and debunk whatever the lie is that they are going to put out in the MSM. Probably a false flag again, hard to say as there are so many piles of brush laying around waiting for a match (figuratively speaking).
It's what authoritarian governments do. Ahmadinejad is giddy at the prospect of war with the Great Satan.
Departure from your usual soberness. It is a long history of self-preservation when one truly looks at Persia and from my recent readings, the Persians have a string of incredible tolerance towards other tribal/religious groups in comparison to many other neighbors, don't know if it's the Zoroastrianism or what but if you look into it it stands out.
I don't think he desires any conflict. Again, with Westerners it always comes down to portraying the target as 'irrational'.
Persians are one thing, empowered intellegence assets named Imadinnerjacket are another.
I think you overestimate his sense of history. He's a scumbag, he'd gladly swap a few months of bombing for the chance to consolidate his support domestically. Just like any number of US politicians would be happy to bomb him for the same sort of political gain.
Unlike the States, their threat is very real so excuse me when I point out that you're only choosing to see one angle and applying a tired old trick that can be played on the comatose population in the West but is easily seen through by many. IS there some of that going on? Sure, but it goes deeper.
The threat to Ahmadinejad from his own people is very real as well. There are many pro-democracy Iranians that desperately want to change the type of governance there. I believe Ahmadinejad fears them more than he fears us.
A land invasion of Iran is simply not in the cards, at the most we'd be talking about bombing by Obama or some neocon a-hole from the other team. Ahmadinejad knows this, and will happily exploit the possibility.
The way out is to de-escalate the situation, don't provide the opposing force for his fiery rhetoric. With diminished external threats, the Iranian people will stop looking outward and refocus their attention on their displeasure with Iranian government.
"With diminished external threats, the Iranian people will stop looking outward and refocus their attention on their displeasure with Iranian government."
And guess who will be 'swarming' there to provide a nurturing hand to the opposition?
I'll give you one guess...
It's the wolf! It's the wolf!

maybe a bank run in the EU will tip the scale though I hear they already don't allow people to withdraw off the accounts there, at least in italy no more than EU500 or so ... so it must be iran with russia and china on one side vs israel with the US on another. Look forward to see how things will turn after netanyahu meeting with obama on march 5. Something tells me the things will get hot in the region right after they meet.
Trav no likey the ice cold sane truth by Krieger? Why?
I think travis questions his sincerity. I think Krieger's support for Obama in the last election means he has no "street cred" for Travis. I know a guy who writes with a similar style who I KNOW is charlatan. He's even had a "guest post" here. Not saying that I think the same thing of Krieger... I don't have an opinion, really.
I think Mike lacks respect, as does Max Keiser. I could be wrong, and I am not judging who they are with friends and family, but I have noticed how much Mike likes to say he "writes for Zero Hedge" in his interviews. Why is it we never see him in the fray if he understands the cite?
I don't think he does. In comparison, one reason that I think Bruce and Reggie are two of the most badass men on the planet, is that they get down and dirty on their posts.
Yeah that's it, let's create poinless criteria for e v e r y b o d y to live up to, surely that will filter the dreck.

you love getting junked, don't ya trav...
lol...maybe
Here's to happiness!
bwahahahahaha! thank you Trav. he's such a poseur and hypocrite and yet the darling of so many of the groundlings here at ZH. i hope he manges to run his snowboard into a tree well so we can be free of supercilious and self righteous pontificating once and for all. junk away dweebs.
the first post I read by him here was after he'd driven "across country" - in a convertible? if I remember correctly - and wrote about his epiphany about amrka - never mentioning meeting a single soul, talking to anyone on his travels - and how he was leaving NY for Boulder. . .
I remember thinking, wealthy young man, knows all the hip memes, his focus solely on himself, and I don't mean in an "inner search" way. . . if it's cool, Mike's right on top of it. . .
sorry guys, I know it's blasphemy. if it's any comfort, Gonzalo hits the same chord with me. (and yeah, who cares.)
Yardfarmer, I think you do not understand.
Sheeple watch Idol. Real men, real patriots, real Sovereign Citizens, go snowboarding. See the difference? Oh, and Sovereign Men sell timeshares in Chile to the nouveau gridless.
For those who know the difference between real abuses of power and the illusory bogeymen of cheap pulp thrillers or Hollywood B-movies, there's Tyler; for everyone who can't tell a Dimon from a demon, there's Krieger, Brandon Smith et al.
The main reason behind the delays and TPTB's issues is the complexity of the global financial scene not krieger, ZH or anyone on the web. There is just too much exposure and risk to take those european banks down, so they hold it as much as the european fruit tempting them.
''It was always going to be a scary thing when the American Empire decided to turn its sights inward. ''
I'm listening...
"been doing is what corrupt elites have been doing since the beginning of time"
Same as it ever was. ;-)
What you confirm is somewhat true, even though you abuse that phrase.
But I digress, here's Mike:
'TPTB Tcould not be happier than Santorum is doing well in the Republican primaries. Why? He is a big government Republican just like that last thug we had in the White House before the current banker puppet.'
Failed to say what it really boils down to: religion. They're sceptical of the Mormon (barely) and not angry enough for the douchebag. Feel like I'm forgettin' somebody... ... so anyway Santorum is talking about Satan and Americans kind of like that, guess it makes them think of home or some such shit.
Religion would be the ultimate "hot button" issue. It polarizes in a hurry and gets peoples blood boiling. And it is all emcompassing.
Religion is the boil on amrka's ass.
I don't care who or what anyone wants to believe in - keep it out of governance - at ALL levels.
