Deception and Fear Are Major Enemy Tactics

Our enemy comes in many guises and uses diverse tactics to keep us bewitched and enslaved. Deception and Fear are first order tactics. Like two sides of the same coin, they keep us misdirected and/or passive. If you don't know what you're looking for, or are scared to passivity and resignation when you do, then you can't take effective action to change your circumstances. So not only is it hard to find out the truth of our situation, but one must act effectively despite the fear. Courage is not acting without fear. It is acting in spite of your fear.

Our Forefathers founded this country with great courage. At least that's the story I learned in school, and I think it is largely true. There were certainly very wrong and regrettable things that happened with respect to Native Americans and the African slaves. But almost 300 years after the first settlements arose the Founders began a revolution with a Declaration of Independence based "self-evident truths" about God, Nature, Inalienable Rights and the right to replace any government in violation of those truths. (Score one for positive human evolution!) They finished with some wonderful Articles of Confederation later replaced a less free Constitution that unfortunately left the Confederation more federalized.

Fast forward to today when we see a Federal Leviathan that would horrify and break the hearts of our Founders. They were devoted to human liberty as necessary for progress. The roots of our decline are many, but most roads lead directly to the Bankster Cabal which has worked incessantly to control the world with the issuance and control of fiat money. As Rothschild famously said, he cared not who was king as long as he controlled the money system. He knew the source of power in a Mammon system. Since the Banksters are so few and we are so many, they've devised sophisticated methods to keep their power intact.

The easiest way to keep the slaves in their place on the plantation or the serfs complacent in the feudal system it to use the means of communication, education, entertainment, and of course, religion to keep them relatively satisfied and thinking the "right things." On the other hand, those that don't think and act according to script can be dealt with by using an endless array of mechanisms to take them out of the game one way or the other. At the limits force can be used, but short of that, the fear of force or loss can induce submission.

I was always fascinated by the story of the baby elephants purchased to work in a circus. It seems that when training starts, the elephants are restrained by a massive chain around a leg keeping them anchored to spot. As they get used to it, it only takes a rope or smaller metal chain to achieve the same effect, even though the grown elephant could easily break away. An invisible perimeter fence for a dog operates similarly. The world of mind control and propaganda provide countless examples.

The most effective chains are in the captive's mind and emotions. If you can control what a captive "knows" and manipulate their emotions like Pavlov's dog, then you can control the captive with consistency. The captive is bewitched and beguiled, with motive power supplied by emotions that result from prior programming. When Karl Marx called on the workers of the world to unite because they had nothing to lose but their chains, I don't think he was thinking of a literal chain gang.

Most of us have two types of fears that keep us from acting, or even seeking the truth. The first is simple peer pressure. We learned it in our schools, where we were put through a consciously-designed indoctrination system that elevated group-think and consensus. As adults, it still operates today. I see it all the time. We're afraid to be thought different, to be labeled a "kook" or to stand apart. We're afraid for our reputations with "respectable" people, and what it might mean for our livelihoods. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Then there is the fear that if we stand up for what is right, the Bad Guys might might harm us or our families. Movies and TV shows are rife with this kind of stuff. This a big fear, folks. That we even have this fear shows how far America has declined from its principles. George Washington said that when people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is Liberty. Today's sovietized Amerikans have been taught to fear the government, from the IRS and TSA to the toilet inspector. We've become like the cowering Londoners portrayed in the excellent movie, "V is for Vendetta."

This is where we true American patriots have to have courage and act in spite of our fear. We need to realize that only 5% of the colonists were active in revolutionary activities at any one time. The active, principled, courageous minority always makes things happen. The Sheeple cower in fear and the illusion of safety provided by the herd.

One of the biggest fears Amerikans need to overcome is the incessantly promoted fear of "terrorism." They've adopted the idea that they can preserve their illusion of freedom by surrendering their liberty in the name of the Police State erected for "homeland security." The Ruling Class continually uses "terrorism" as the reason they've enslaved us. For more on this, read "The Disabling Power of Fear." We've got to stop being afraid, and realize who the real terrorists are. As Winston Churchill said in the darkest hours of the European war, "We have nothing to fear but feat itself."

As I get older, I realize that you get one shot at life on this trip, and you might as well make the most of it. Most of all, you want your life to count. You want in some way to pass down through the stream of humanity and your descendants what is good, and true and right. There are countless ways to do that, but that is the only way I know to have any kind of immortality in this life. Most of us would like to think that our lives have made the world a little better. A life that counts requires courage.

We value courage and valor because they inspire us. From God the Father sacrificing His Son to soldiers and peacekeepers giving their lives for a truly just cause, to the single and foster and adoptive parents who care for abandoned and abused children, we find all those stories inspiring. That's because they involve sacrificial love for the good of others. The courage of inventors, entrepreneurs and ethical business men can be on the same order. We call these people heroes.

In like manner, each of us can be a hero. All we have to do is to seek the Truth and to do the Right Thing. We need to act in spite of our fear and overcome it with faith, courage and action.

Think of a mental sea change regarding Liberty and its requirements by those producers and contributors to real human society. We're the ones supporting this whole mess. Ayn Rand said the Looters and Moochers system existed only because of the "sanction of the victim" Think also of massive non-compliance and monkey-wrenching the system whenever possible. Think also of "what if they gave a war, and no one came." Think Gandi. Martin Luther King. John Galt. Jesus. [insert your choices here]

Elephants of the World Unite! You have nothing to lose but your Chains!!

Grace and Courage and Peace to you!

Feds Radiating Americans

America's current reality as described by George Orwell 1984 is our current theme. Orwell portrayed Statism -- an all-inclusive police state with controls designed to keep the masses of "proles" from realizing they were slaves. The implementation of the total surveillance society in America ramped up drastically after the false flag 9-11 attacks. No doubt, setting up the Amerikan police state was one of the primary goals of this blood-thirsty coup.

Homeland Security is first, and foremost, about controlling the American people. If defending us from external terrorists of the "Islamo-fascist" variety were the goal, the border would have been sealed from day one, and we would not have seen the illegal immigration of 18 million people in the interim. You'd think at least one terrorist disguised as a Mexican illegal would be hiding at least a bar of C4 to detonate in some unsecured shopping mall to disrupt Christmas shopping and injure our economy and spoil the holidays. Hasn't happened, has it?  This conclusion is such a no-brainer that it is lost only on the die-hard supporters of Bush-Obama and the CorpGov fake TwoPartySystem. They are the willingly enslaved who doom their grandchildren to poverty on the CorpGov plantation.

Alex Jones has today's lead story detailing the roll-out of hundreds of mobile backscatter X-ray machines to spy on Americans on roadways, athletic facilities, and in their homes in addition to the ongoing roll-out of the "naked body" X-ray scanners by TSA at American airports. These will be used in conjunction with their ControlGrid databases for DNA, fingerprints, blood, facial and body recognition, to track us everywhere we go. Moreover, repeated low-level radiation doses increase one's susceptibility to many cancers, so this is a "slow kill" operation as well. The Ruling Class can't let us become "useless eaters," and BigMedPharma is determined to drain our families' net worth as they use their cut-burn-poison arsenal on us in "heroic" efforts to "save" our lives in our last few months on earth.

Already Italy has pulled out the naked body scanners due to potential dangers. I suggest you avoid them at all costs if you must fly. Complain to the airlines that they deter you from flying. Take the extra time to get inspected if you need to. Massive, peaceful noncompliance is one of the acts we can each use to fight back and bog down the system. (That's one reason why new reporting requirements for taxes are being rolled out.)

Television is the Ruling Class's most pervasive propaganda tool. Most of us think we are immune to its effects. To the extent that we are aware of the true state of affairs, that may be true. We've developed some discernment as to what we're watching. But what we don't get as well is that when we watch TV we go into a hypnotic-like state that opens portals into our mind, soul and spirit that allow input not only of what we're overtly aware, but also that which we are not -- the subliminal messages and even ideas and images that can intrude on frequencies beyond our conscious awareness. "The physical way in which TV affects the brain makes it a  perfect vehicle for propaganda.  It’s important to note that your eyes grow directly, stem-like, from the brain. They really are the window to the soul and the perfect conduit to access the brain’s inner sanctums."

These statistics from a recent survey illustrate the problem:
  • Each day in the U.S., people spend on average 4.7 hours watching TV, 3 hours listening to the radio and 14 minutes reading magazines.
  • The projected average number of hours an individual (12 and older) will spend watching television this year is 1,750.
  • In a 65-year life, the average person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.
Mind-boggling, huh? These come from a Burning Platform post on the author's re-reading of Fahrenheit 451. This must-read article is rich in insights: "Bradbury envisioned gigantic flat screen wall TVs that interacted with the audience and people wearing seashell earbuds so they could listen to the radio. Anything to keep from reading, thinking, questioning or wondering. Today, anesthetized kids and non-thinking adults sit in front of the boob tube with their Playstation controllers in hand and a microphone attached to their ear, killing zombies while talking to their fellow warriors, sitting in their own living rooms somewhere in the world."

The Police State needs constant crises to expand and maintain its power. The movie "V is for Vendetta" illustrates how false flag terrorism is a time-tested method used by tyrannies to increase their power and demonize their opposition. Rahm Immanuel, Obama's Zionist chief-of-staff and fellow lifetime member of Chicago's top gay bath house club, is famously quoted that a crisis should never be wasted, but used to advance one's political agenda. That's why it is naive to think that the Obamanoids really believe that the policies they're pushing will make things better for the USEconomy and most Americans. That is not their goal.

On the contrary, they know what they're doing. Sure, some Obamanoids may be merely misguided Keynesians who don't understand economics. But the inner circle are surely following the Saul Alinsky-inspired Cloward-Piven strategy that bankrupted New York City in 1974. Their goal is to so overwhelm the US economy and destroy our vital moral, spiritual and economic infrastructure and foundations that we will never recover. This conveniently ties in with the long-term strategy of the globalists pushing for a New World Order. Let that sink in for a few moments. It may change your life.

Numerous informed observers are concluding that the US as the founders intended is dead (a walking zombie, I said in my previous post). The The End of the Rule of Law in America, says Bob Livingston. Paul Craig Roberts has written recently about The Nazification of the United States, Death by Globalism, The Collapse of Western Morality, and It's Official: The US is a Police State.

Meanwhile, everyone acts as if everything is "normal." I still get lots of eye-rolling whenever I try to talk with people about what's happening, what's important that will affect their and their offspring's futures in the most negative of ways. But most of them are plugged into the MindControlMedia that soothingly tells them that everything's under control, or if they are alarmed, at least the Tea Party and Sarah Palin will save them as the Republicans expect to re-take control of Congress in November. If that happens, all we'll see is a change in rhetoric and faces as the good guys and bad guys change roles in our political pro-wrestler con game.

Before you Conservatives get excited about the prospects, just remember Charlie Schlutz' classic Peanuts cartoons that coincidentally ran every fall around election time. No matter how fervently Lucy promised she wouldn't pull away the football just before Charlie was to kick it, she always did. Fooled again, Charlie Brown. Will we fall for it again, too? Remember also that without Bush, Obama would not have been possible. At the end of the day, they work for the same Banksters.

Speaking of propaganda, here's a just-in example of the MindControlMedia financial talking heads busy at work persuading the average American to ignore the continuing 10-years upward march in gold and silver prices because the "bubble" is about to burst! Right. Not!! I hope you're learning to SpotTheProp and ignore them.

This is no time to stick your head in the sand.

Many of the people I deal with on a personal level are in denial that the economy if falling off a cliff. I hear many people who say "I disagree with you," but give absolutely no backing for their belief. The truth is, they just don't want to believe that we're headed into the abyss. I don't blame them. It isn't pleasant to think about.

Contrary to what they think, I get no pleasure at all in making my forecasts or in being a "doom and gloomer." I'm just passing on what I see in hopes that they might make preparations. We will fair far better as a society the better prepared we are. Those who are prepared can help those who aren't, and can keep their heads better in time of crisis. The more people we can keep out of food lines, the better.

It still looks like a hyperinflationary depression to me. Stephen Lindeman gives a long, long list of reasons why we're headed toward "an unstoppable economic breakdown." If you read it, you'll see why unprecedented tough times are ahead.

Please take a daily look at Jim Sinclair's website. Today he showed why hyperinflation is on the way. Saturday he gave practical steps to avoid personal financial destruction. He first published "This is it" last spring. He could see what was happening. Do nothing and watch your investments dwindle.

Many people are confused about the disconnect between the price of "paper" gold based on futures contracts and the price of physical gold, which is extremely hard to get, especially in coin form. The resulting confusion has caused paralysis and procrastination and kept some people from protecting their assets with gold. This article helps explain the reason and gives links to help monitor the actual price gold is selling for on eBay. If you plan to buy, do it now. You will NOT be able to time the market. By the time you think the market has turned, the price will be exploding up.

New World Order as Global Financial Matrix Self Destructs is an extremely interesting read. Follow it with Catherine Austin Fitts' analysis of the G-20 meeting a few weeks ago. "The net result will be to continue to exercise growing control over the real economy by a handful of private families and institutions designed to protect and grow intergenerational wealth. G-20 are silent on the military and covert action that will be required to make this stick. They are also silent on how they are going to manage this much inflation."

Ron Paul warns of a "great shift to global government" under Obama. (Paul still has the best grasp of the economic policies needed to keep a free and prosperous country. George Bush laid the groundwork. Many, like British PM Gordon Brown, are now openly calling for and discussing the "New World Order."

The oil price collapse in creating great geopolitical stability. Pay attention. Enjoy the low gas prices while they last.

A big part of the enormous problem we have with grappling with our problems is, frankly, the ignorance of many people. I don't say this in any kind of condescending or holier than thou way. I just find that few people are able to carry on an intelligent discussion about political or economic principles, whether from a conservative or liberal viewpoint. The previously discussed hypnosis techniques used by Barack Obama underline this situation. Far too many people are swayed by the images and emotions engendered by sophisticated propaganda. Bush, of course, used them effectively, too. Contrary to this article, I'd say that even many "educated" people fall into this category. Make a vow not to be one of them.

Since I'm going to be away from home for the holidays, I may be posting without sending out emails. Rather than do longer articles on single topics, I may just start picking out some of the sign posts I see daily. If I do that, I'll be able to stay on top of things more currently. So check back every so often. I hope you find my efforts helpful.

What We Can Expect from Obama

Wednesday night I caught the last half of the Obama major TV network infomercial that concluded with a finish in front of a large arena crowd in Florida. As if to underscore what I had just written a few hours earlier in my blog post, I found that emotionally I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe in him. It was much like I found when I used to listen to Bill Clinton. In spite of what I know about him and his policies, I found him very likable and disarming.
Obama and his support crew of filmmakers, stage designers, scrip writers and pollsters are top notch. These guys are good, very good. The art of propaganda and persuasion has come a long way since the days of Bernays, Hitler and Goebbels. At the end you could see people raising their arms to the heavens with tears in their eyes. Not much different from a Billy Graham crusade. (Expect the accusations of “anti-christ” soon enough.)

Whether the timing was scripted or not, this year’s “October surprise” has to have been the economic crisis. Whatever perceived advantage McCain had in foreign policy and “fighting terrorism” was rudely shoved aside by the fear and insecurity wrought by the onset of financial collapse. “It’s the economy, stupid” served the same focus for Obama as for Clinton in 1992 and the fear of terrorism for Bush in 2004.

Even though I’ve been writing about the coming financial tsunami since July, there is good reason to believe that it may have been precipitated for political reasons. Wall Street contributions to Obama are three times the amount for McCain. Goldman Sachs has major ties to the Democratic Party, as does financier George Soros. Both have the means, the motive and the opportunity to exacerbate the crisis.

Cliff Kincaid connects the dots: “Clearly, the controversy over the legislative “bailout” or “rescue” for Wall Street, which emerged in a big way on September 18, changed the dynamics of the presidential race. It has hugely benefited Obama by making the economy take precedence over Obama’s controversial associates, pro-socialist views, or lack of a background and security check.”

Remember: Treasury Secretary Paulson was CEO of Goldman Sachs until he joined the Bush administration a little more than two years ago. Goldman Sachs is a key player in the Plunge Protection Team. Paulson has a net worth over $700 million, much of it coming from compensation during the heyday of the derivatives boom that he is now using taxpayer funds to bail out his cronies. He lobbied for looser capital restrictions that unleashed the boom.

Substantial concerns continue about the status of Obama’s eligibility for President. If this is not dealt with conclusively before the elections, it certainly will be afterwards. Why McCain is not making this an issue is a mystery. But perhaps the reason is the same as why Bush’s Skull and Bones fraternity brother, John Kerry, chose not to pursue the obvious vote fraud in Ohio that permitted Bush to “win” the 2004 election. The “fix” may be in.

A President Obama will bring with him one of the worst records on 2nd Amendment rights of anyone in the Senate. Biden is no better. So expect to see a full-scale assault on Americans’ right of self-defense not only against ordinary criminals, but also against rogue government. Every fascist state in history has disarmed the people to make their job easier.

Alan Stang presents more information on the man pulling Obama’s foreign policy strings, Zbigniew Brzezinski. He was also McCain’s foreign policy advisor in 2000! Stang speculates Zbig will be the man behind the Obama curtain, just like Cheney has been for Bush. Joe Biden may have given us a clue about coming war with Russia. Here’s more info on NeoCon rats jumping to Obama’s ship.

Though Obama has introduced few bills while in the Senate, he’s a doozy: “The Global Poverty Act” (S.2433). “This bill is directly tied to the United Nations and serves as little more than a shakedown of American taxpayers in a massive wealth redistribution scheme. In fact, if passed, The Global Poverty Act will provide the United Nations with 0.7% of the United States gross national product. Estimates are that it will add up to at least $845 billion of taxpayer money for welfare to third world countries, in addition to the $300 billion Americans spent for the same thing in 2006.” This is another step toward a global government, as well as greater impoverishment of Americans in a time of financial crises and increasing inflation.

Here’s a list of things we can expect the Obama-Pelosi-Reid triumvirate to push through in the first 100 days from Patrick Buchanan:

“Rep. Barney Frank is calling for new tax hikes on the most successful and a 25 percent across-the-board slash in national defense. Sen. John Kerry is talking up new and massive federal spending, a la FDR's New Deal. Specifically, we can almost surely expect:
  • Swift amnesty for 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens and a drive to make them citizens and register them, as in the Bill Clinton years. This will mean that Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona will soon move out of reach for GOP presidential candidates, as has California.
  • Border security will go on the backburner, and America will have a virtual open border with a Mexico of 110 million.
  • Taxes will be raised on the top 5 percent of wage earners, who now carry 60 percent of the U.S. income tax burden, and tens of millions of checks will be sent out to the 40 percent of wage earners who pay no federal income tax. Like the man said, redistribute the wealth, spread it around.
  • Social Security taxes will be raised on the most successful among us, and capital gains taxes will be raised from 15 percent to 20 percent.
  • The Bush tax cuts will be repealed, and death taxes re-imposed.
  • Two or three more liberal activists of the Ruth Bader Ginsburg-John Paul Stevens stripe will be named to the Supreme Court. U.S. district and appellate courts will be stacked with "progressives."
  • Special protections for homosexuals will be written into all civil rights laws, and gays and lesbians in the military will be invited to come out of the closet. "Don't ask, don't tell" will be dead.
  • The homosexual marriages that state judges have forced California, Massachusetts and Connecticut to recognize, an Obama Congress or Obama court will require all 50 states to recognize.
  • A "Freedom of Choice Act" nullifying all state restrictions on abortions will be enacted. America will become the most pro-abortion nation on earth.
  • Affirmative action – hiring and promotions based on race, sex and sexual orientation until specified quotas are reached – will be rigorously enforced throughout the U.S. government and private sector.
  • Universal health insurance will be enacted, covering legal and illegal immigrants, providing another powerful magnet for the world to come to America, if necessary by breaching her borders.
  • A federal bailout of states and municipalities to keep state and local governments spending up could come in December or early next year.
    The first trillion-dollar deficit will be run in the first year of an Obama presidency. It will be the first of many

And here’s a list from Richard Viguerie:
Making America [more] a socialist country [Bush has already taken us much farther in this direction].
Enacting a major distribution of wealth - in other words, taking from some Americans and giving it to others (including people here illegally).
Increasing the capital gains tax, which will reduce investments and new jobs.
Increasing the estate (death) tax, leaving more to the government and less for your children and grandchildren.
"Allowing" the Bush tax cuts to expire, thereby increasing taxes on most Americans.
Removing the cap on Social Security payroll taxes.
Increasing taxes on seniors who continue to work after retirement age.
Enacting huge taxes to fight "global warming," such as higher taxes on gasoline.
Merging the tax and welfare systems, disguising welfare checks as "tax cuts."
Creating more "welfare" programs for corporations using taxpayer money.
Instituting more taxpayer bailouts for Wall Street and other big corporations.
Imposing rules that require nearly all workers to join unions, even against their wishes.
Instituting a new "Fairness Doctrine" that would cause broadcast stations to eliminate radio talk shows (no more Rush Limbaugh, Jim Dobson, Laura Ingram, etc.). [Look for restrictions on freedom of speech on the internet, too.]
Issuing government mandates that increase the cost of health insurance, and making patients wait longer to see their doctors, dentists, and other health care providers.
Rationing health care for all, especially seniors.
Rationing health care for premature infants.
Rationing health care for people with rare diseases.
Rationing health care for people when doctors guess that they are terminally ill.
Rationing health care that uses new or expensive medicine or medical technology.
Having the government determining who will be your doctor.
Having the government deciding which hospital you will use.
Having the government deciding what medicines you can take.
Increasing welfare payments for illegal aliens.
Increasing taxpayers' health care spending on illegal aliens.
Eliminating rules that prevent vote fraud, such as requiring voter identification, and providing voting rights for felons.
Imposing government control over political content on the Internet.
Passing "hate crime" laws that would put ministers and others in jail for criticizing homosexual behavior.
Passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would require de facto quotas for homosexuals in every business and non-profit organization.
Requiring taxpayers to pay for all abortions and providing additional federal support to organizations that perform abortions.
Allowing all abortions, including partial-birth abortions.
Removing all state restrictions on abortion, including late-term abortions and requirements that health care be given to infants who survive abortions.
Voiding state laws on parental consent and informed consent.
Appointing judges who make decisions based on their political beliefs, instead of the Constitution and statutory law.
Ending restrictions on plaintiff lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits.
Signing and ratifying treaties that transfer U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations and other international organizations.
Making the District of Columbia the 51st state (with two Senators and a House member in Congress).
Making Puerto Rico the 52nd state (with two Senators and six House members in Congress).
Increasing federal government spending by a trillion dollars a year ($13,000 per family).
Good evidence exists that Obama’s “socialism” is more in line with the methods of Antonio Gramsci. Nazis also put them to good use. The result will be increasing American corporatism, or fascism.

Okay, enough already. Obama will probably win the election, if we can believe the polls. He certainly has the media pushing for him big time.

If McCain wins, expect major civil unrest. Police departments around the country are gearing up for it. If he wins, I’ll start forecasting what to expect.

Above all, remember: the Powers That Be ultimately control both candidates of the major parties. The NeoCons don’t want to relinquish their power. But like a tag team match in professional wrestling, it may be time to put a new villain into the ring.
