"Resentment Toward Government" Makes You a Suspect

Following up on "It's 1984 in Amerika" theme, we've just found out about "a symposium in held Hamburg, New York, that was attended by federal agencies, police departments and others and where a system that trawls phone conversations, emails and instant messages to detect 'resentment toward government' was demonstrated." The total surveillance state is going deeper into Orwell's "face crime" mode by profiling us. This symposium is not about foreign terrorists, but about irate Americans. Still think Homeland Security is not for us?

With fewer than 25% of Americans approving of government, that makes most of us suspect. By definition, all supporters of the US Constitution and the "tea party movement" qualify to be on the list of possible domestic terrorists. Of course, this runs contrary to America's roots where our Founders resented the English Crown and drew us a Constitution whose purpose was to severely limit the reach and cost of government. Using the same old bogus "war on terror" rationale, the 4th Amendment continues to be trashed as Americans become further enslaved.

Now the Feds are proposing new regulations to keep track of all personal monetary transfers across our borders. Generously, they only want to know about those above $1,000 for businesses! What business it of theirs? Oh, I forgot. Fighting that old bogeyman "terrorism." And "drug dealers" (in competition with the CIA). How long will Americans put up with this bull***t?

And did you know "Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents can seize and copy the contents of any electronic device you carry across a U.S. border. That includes your laptop, your cell phone, your USB flash drives, your digital camera, etc. Agents don't need probable cause or even reasonable suspicion to conduct a search of your electronic data – just "gimme." They can copy the data for investigative purposes and then use that information against you in a subsequent criminal case." To see how you can protect yourself from these un-American searches and seizures, read the whole article.

Rahm "Rhambo" Emmanuel has resigned as Obama's chief of staff in his bid to become the king of Chicago as Mayor Daley is stepping down next year. He's being replaced by a low key 64-year old "cat-loving bachelor," Pete Rouse. He is a "fixer" who is "single and famously fond of the Maine Coon cats." Not much change here, in a way.

Obama's press conference for the transition was interesting. First, note the long ovation given by the lapdog MindControlMedia at the beginning. Disgusting! Then he credits ALL his administration's accomplishments (sic!) to Rahmbo. Then he gives him credit for helping avert a Second Great Depression (delusional). Later, Rhambo gives Obama credit for "putting America back on track" (to Third World status) and "restoring our national standing in the world." (Yes, they love Imperial Amerika spewing tons of depleted  uranium to contaminate the planet's earth, wind and water while the the Depleted Dollar (FedNotes) contaminates the world economy.)

After he compliments Obama for being a great leader, the lapdog MCM gives O another ovation! So much for having an "objective" press corps(e), much less an adversarial one. Rhambo finishes up by telling how he and Obama are both "products of the American dream," but fails to mention that they used Obama's CIA roots and Emanuel's Wall Street-Zionist and political connections to take advantage of golden rings not available to the average laborer or entrepreneur.

On cue for the final harrah of the depletion of America's wealth as the derivatives bomb implodes the economy, Gorden Gekko makes his return to the box office to do it to the little guys one more time in "Wall Street." The first movie came out in 1987, just in time for what was then a large crash. That was a bookend for the the current micro boom-bust in this cycle that began with the start of the fiat money inflation with the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1914. (Yes, I know, it is not "federal" and there are no "reserves.") This is a little like the skyscrapers built at the end of a boom that struggle for many years go make it through the depression. They're both ironic ends to an era of excess. Say, have you seen that 50 story skyscraper being built in downtown Oklahoma City?

Patrick Buchanan has an outstanding essay on the coming conflict between the Tea Party and the War Party. Since the Tea Party movement is really an outgrowth of what began as the Ron Paul Revolution (only to be hijacked and sidetracked by establishment Republicans), this will really turn out to be a conflict between those wanting to slash government spending by terminating Amerika's 60-year attempt at empire, and the NeoCons who want it to continue. Let's hope the people have enough sense to choose Liberty over Empire. You can't have both.

It is time for Conservatives who say they revere the Constitution and "original intent," to put their money where their mouth is and vote to terminate the empire. The Founders intended a Constitutional Republic, not an empire. We can't afford it! We're broke. Our nation is a walking zombie. Like that fictional man who had his heart cut out while he was still alive, and didn't realize it yet.

Pat asks: "After Iraq and Afghanistan, the American people are not going to give the establishment and War Party a free hand in foreign policy. Every patriot will do what is necessary and pay what is needed to defend his country. But national security is one thing, empire security another.

Why should Americans, 65 years after World War II, be defending rich Europeans from a Soviet Union that has been dead for 20 years, so those same Europeans can cut their defense budgets to protect their social safety nets? Almost $14 trillion in debt today, we borrow from Europe to defend Europe, borrow from Japan to defend Japan, borrow from the Gulf Arabs to defend the Gulf Arabs. And we borrow from Beijing to send foreign aid to African regimes . . .National security, yes. Empire security we can no longer afford."

Even if you ignore the safety presentations by the flight attendants when you fly, I'll bet you'd watch this one!  Heck, just a younger age group like these might get more men watching!!

Are you hearing the chatter around about UFO's making nuclear weapons inoperable; or about an imminent "disclosure" of alien contact; or a long-predicted event by Werner von Braun to use a fake alien invasion as an event to facilitate joining together a One World Government? Yep, I see lots of references around the alternative media about all these and much more. Real aliens and hi-tech space travel with matching gadgetry with benign/malevolent intentions; or disinformation campaigns to hide advanced Nazi-initiated technology and intentions, or just the latest versions of the stuff coming out of Area 51? (After all, we didn't close down all that top secret R&D after the B-2 rolled out.) Wish I knew.

This is worth watching to see a convincing presentation that there might be civilized life forms on Mars. If true, what are the implications of that? And why are THEY covering it up?

I had the opportunity to live for five years on the Columbia River in northeast Washington just south of the Canadian border. The winters were significantly harsher in the high desert. The majority of people who lived in and around the small towns there heated primarily with wood stoves -- a very different proposition for an Okie raised hooked up to natural gas!

Everything had to be winterized. You didn't mess with these conditions. You adapted to them. You had to plan ahead to either bring in your firewood or buy it. Fill the fuel tanks, lay in extra food, get the oil lamps in shape in case the power went out, maintain the generator, get out the snow tires, put in feed for livestock, etc. Even before August ended, people were devoting off time to preparations. Prepare for the future was the theme of life at that time.

By contrast, in Oklahoma City, we did very little of that. We have mild winters generally, and if there's a power outage, blizzard, or whatever, you always know things will return to normal in a day or two. We come to enjoy the benefits of civilization, and therefore operate largely by a just-in-time inventory system for our personal items. We just naturally assume that "normal" is normal.

But history shows that most of the time, "normal" is filled with much more struggle and uncertainty than the sunshine period we are finishing. We're entering the Fourth Turning. This will be a time of great crises, and of heroes of every sort responding with creativity and bravery to set us back on track. 

In the cycles of history it is like success goes to our heads, and we forget what is necessary for it. We become prideful, greedy and arrogant. When that happens, we experience the reason for that old proverb: "pride goes before a fall." We have to lose everything so we can realize what is important. We need to strip back to the basics if we want to get back to the garden. We literally need to snap out of it, even get the stuffing knocked out of us like a good whuppin', and get back to doing what we were put here for.

The great reckoning is at hand. It appears that far too many Americans will be blindsided by it. They still see through normal-colored glasses. They forget that things can still change as quickly as they do when tornadic skies chase away bright sunshine.

For those who are aware, we best make sure we are prepared with the basics. Maybe some family member is finally ready to listen to you. Either way, those who know something big is coming should put extra away for those who didn't.

We're five weeks away from the November 8 period of emotional release predicted by Clif at Half Past Human. Their predictions have been uncanny, tapping into the planetary psyche to some extent with their webots. The data indicated that the impact, the "shock and awe" factor, will be on a magnitude at least 10 times greater than the 9-11 terrorist event. They just don't know what it will be.

So I suggest that you informed ants get busy with your preparations. If you're an awakening grasshopper, welcome aboard. We ants need all the help we can get!
