Monday News near May 2013
There is still tons of information coming out that relate to the Boston Bombing. Daniel Hopsicker and others have found connections between the Boston bombings, the Tsarnaev brothers, Uncle Ruslan Tsarni, and the CIA. These connections are strong and interesting. That is why the Uncle was so hardcore in his denunciations of the Tsarnaev brothers. We know for certain that the CIA has been involved in terrorism across the globe even in recent times during this decade. Now, we know now that Uncle Ruslan was connected to the CIA front group called USAID. Ruslan was running a front business helping launder Russian oligarch's stolen cash. He was also connected to Halliburton. Ruslan Tsarni was married to the daughter of former top CIA official Graham Fuller. Fuller spent 20 years as operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. In 1982, Fuller was appointed the National Intelligence Officer for Near East and South Asia at the CIA. In 1986, under Ronald Reagan, he became the Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council. He was given the overall responsibility for national level strategic forecasting. Ruslan was known as Ruslan Tsarnaev during the time of his marriage. He changed his last name to Tsarni. His wife is named Samantha Ankara Ruller. The couple divorced before 2004. Today, she is a director of many companies that want strategies to increase energy production from clean burning and renewable resources. Sibel Edmonds believes that Graham Fuller was an American deep state rogue. Uncle Ruslan worked with Graham Fuller before (via the Congress of Chechen International Organizations in Maryland. The address listed in the incorporation documents or 11114 Whisperwood Ln, Rockville, Maryland is the home address of his then father in law). Uncle Ruslan worked in Kazakhstan for USAID. USAID is known for being used by the Western establishment as a means to overthrow governments, advance neoliberal globalization, and other skullduggery. Tamerlan called his uncle Ruslan a few hours before he was killed. According to Ruslan, Tamerlan apologized for the difficulties in their relationship, and the two spoke for about five minutes. Ruslan did not learn that Tamerlan was a suspect until the following day, after his death, allegedly. These events sound like a movie, but this is real life and it is serious. Tsarni used the media to try to convince the public that Tamerlan Tsarnaev (the alleged and dead Boston bomber) was brainwashed by a shadowy Armenian named Misha. There has been no evidence to even validate the existence of Misha. Also, Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended a workshop sponsored by the CIA linked Jamestown Foundation. The Russian newspaper cites documents produced by the Counterintelligence Department Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia confirming that the NGO “Fund of Caucasus” held workshops in the summer of 2012 and Tsarnaev attended. Now, the Jamestown Foundation is a known CIA front. They deal with terrorism and like-minded subjects. CIA director William Casey and Russian dissident Arkady Shevchenko created the Jamestown Foundation. Also, Jamestown's board of directors include Zbigniew Brzezinski or the former National Security Advisor to ex-President Jimmy Carter. Brzezinski is a known globalist and he initiated the CIA's recruitment of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The Mujahedeen evolved into the Taliban and al-Qaeda later on in the 1980's. Brzezinski advocated a technocratic society to dominant the globe back in the early 1970'a. The growth of the surveillance state is one goal out of many that the elite wants as a response to the Boston marathon bombings. These draconian police state techniques and technology have been done against humanity for a long time. Torture, surveillance, and suspension of human rights including liberties did not die with the George W. Bush administration. It continues now in 2013. Such martial law evil maneuvers are used in Iraq, Afghanistan, and recently in the streets of Boston including Watertown, Massachusetts.
It is a known fact that reactionaries control a huge portion of the media. The reactionaries like the Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch are trying to purchase the Los Angeles Times and other major regional newspapers as a means to expand the expression of their propaganda. This media strategy has existed for decades. The mainstream media is not populist at all. Most of the mainstream media is either reactionary or establishment. Some reporters even in the mainstream media have done the right thing. Some have exposed the evils of racial segregation in the 1950's and the 1960's. Some war correspondents have exposed the cruel violence of the Vietnam War in the late 1960's and early 1970's. There has been the showing of the leaked history of the Vietnam War in 1971. Even the Washington Post had some of Richard Nixon's political crimes exposed in 1972-1974. The CIA's nefarious history has been exposed by some in the NY Times too during the mid-1970. These stories were true even if they offended the establishment. This information is accurate and it inspired the thinking of the American populace. Participatory democracy is the enemy of the oligarchy indeed. That is why reactionaries now try to demonize honest journalism as solely liberal and to smear honest journalists as anti-American. That is why the elite want to control as much of the media as possible as a means to manipulate the minds of human beings (and to handle the control of information). The reactionaries wanted to end the Vietnam Syndrome by obsessing with the Persian Gulf War. The media also offer little resistance to the run up to the Western invasion of Iraq in 2003. There are still great news sources in the Internet and the alternative media that are taking about issues from civil liberties to social justice. Now, establishment figures like Rupert Murdoch and the Koch Brothers are trying to consolidate more of the U.S. new media. The Koch brothers is exploring a bid to buy the Tribune Company's 8 regional newspapers including the Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun, the Orlando Sentinel, the Hartford Courant and the Chicago Tribune, according to a report in the New York Times last Sunday. If the buying happens, the Koch brothers could have another platform in showing reactionary propaganda. Koch Industries is a privately owned oil and gas giant that has provided the means for Charles and David Koch to fund libertarian think tanks and Tea Party organizations. That is why we need a stronger independent media and we should find the real truth about circumstances happening in the world. We know about the agenda about the Tea Party Republicans.
There have been accusations of Syria using chemical weapons in Syria against rebel forces. This is a controversial charge and of course, the Syrian government denies the charges. Syria accuses America and Britain of telling lies about its supposed use of chemical weapons. Syria said that it has not used weapons and does not possess them. Syrian Information Minister Omran Al-Zoub told Russian TV the following words: "...Everything that the American minister and British government have said lack credibility...It’s baseless, and it’s a new tactic to put political and economic pressure on Syria..." Al-Zoubi said that there are those who want to manipulate the issue to let whoever used the chemical weapons to get away with it and to repeat the Iraq example. Russia's foreign minister has warned against repeating the Iraqi scenario. This Iraqi scenario was when the Bush neocons installed in the Pentagon fabricated evidence, which falsely concluded that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, the United Nations weapons inspector Hans Blix found no stockpiles of WMD despite claims made by the Bush administration and the corporate media. Even George W. Bush admitted to ABC News just prior to his departure from the White House that his biggest regret of his entire presidency has to have the intelligence failure in Iraq. A 2008 Senate Intelligence Committee report said that the Bush administration had misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq. Recently, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the Obama administration believes “with varying degrees of confidence” that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Speaking from Abu Dhabi, Hagel said the government believes “any use of chemical weapons in Syria very likely originated” with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus,” Obama said in August, 2012. “That would change my equation. . . . We’re monitoring that situation very carefully. We have put together a range of contingency plans.”
Ironically, President Barack Obama is taking a cautious approach with the latest accusation of Syria using chemical weapons. “Our intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin,” White House legislative director Miguel Rodriguez said in letters to Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz. The U.S. has cited photos, shelling, and traces of toxins as an excuse to claim that Syria is using chemical weapons against human beings. The Israeli military said that Syrian forces used sarin and displayed for reporters photographs of a body it claimed showed evidence of nerve gas exposure. “There is a limit to what you can extract from photograph evidence alone,” said Ralf Trapp, an independent consultant on chemical and biological weapons control. “What you really need is to get information from on the ground, to gather physical evidence and to talk to witnesses as well as medical staff who treated victims.” This is a paucity of evidence. Still, Israeli Brigadier-General Itai Brun or the head of military intelligence research at the Israeli Defense Forces said that he is worried about a lack of international response to the alleged use of sarin nerve gas. Obama spokesman Jay Carney said that the Israeli accusation is of concern, but U.S. intelligence has not independently confirmed the assessment. So, any information is being used by the West and others as a means for some to justify some overt U.S. military intervention in Syria (either by giving the rebels weapons or anything more to the extreme).
One huge aftermath of the Cold War was the expansion of NATO worldwide. There has been a transformation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO. NATO was a military bloc that was created by the United States in 1949. It was near the beginning of the Cold War. Now, NATO has grown into many nations of Europe and it has made military partnerships globally. It has waged war on three continents. Kurt Volker worked with the State Department in 2006. By 2008, he was an U.S. ambassador to NATO. He boasted that the year 2007 that NATO has been engaged in eight simultaneous operations on four continents. Years later, the State Department's Daniel Fried told the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on Europe spoke on various issues. He spoke about the following words: "...When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989; NATO was an Alliance of 16 members and no partners. Today, NATO has 26 members – with 2 new invitees, prospective membership for others, and over 20 partners in Europe and Eurasia, seven in the Mediterranean, four in the Persian Gulf, and others from around the world.” Back then, then Secretary of State James Baker had assured Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev at the time of the German reunification in 1990 that NATO would not be moved one inch eastward. This act of a merger occurring led to the German Democratic Republic being absorbed not only into the Federal Republic but NATO moved eastward to the borders of Poland and Czechoslovakia (this was closer to that of the Soviet Union). Fried talked about Albania and Croatia as 2 invited nations. Now, these nations are in the military bloc of NATO by 2009. NATO grew by 75 percent from 16 member nations to 28 member nations within the first decades of the 21st century. NATO has expanded to the east. Therefore, the Pentagon including its Western allies are provided with air bases and other military facilities in Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania (for hegemonic purposes). Macedonia could have been absorbed into NATO by 2009 if not for Greece. Other nations are being groomed for future full NATO membership like Bosnia, Georgia, and Montenegro. NATO is allied with the Partnership for Peace program. It was used to advance 12 new Eastern European nations into NATO between 1999 and 2009. It involved over a third of the nations in the world like every non-Soviet member of the Warsaw Pact and three former Soviet republics (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) – the Mediterranean Dialogue, the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative and, as of last year, the newly formed Partners Across the Globe (whose initial members are Afghanistan, Australia, Iraq, Japan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Korea), and NATO members including partners in at least 70 nations. In January of 2012, there was a meeting of NATO's Military Committee Chiefs of Defense Staff. It was conducted with top military representatives of 67 nations. The Partners Across the Globe and other military partnerships are expected to grow globally. Among the more than 50 nations that have provided NATO with troop contingents for the war in South Asia are additional Asia-Pacific states not covered by other international NATO partnership formats. These formats are like the Partnership for Peace (22 nations in Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia), the Mediterranean Dialogue (seven nations in North Africa and the Middle East, with Libya to be the eighth) and the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, which targets the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates). Some want the Asian states of Malaysia, Singapore, and Tonga to be new candidates for the global partnership (including Latin American nations like El Salvador and Colombia as troop providers). There are nations like Iraq and Yemen that could be in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative. Mediterranean Dialogue members Jordan and Morocco applied for membership in the Gulf Cooperation Council, which is made up of the Arab world's other six monarchies during NATO's war against Libya in 2011. NATO have tried to make a collectively partnership between NATO and the 54 member African Union. NATO is an ally of Africom or the U.S. Africa Command. We know how imperialist Africom is. Some want NATO to expand in the South Atlantic too. There have been military exercises among NATO and other nations globally like South Africa even. The Pentagon and NATO are implementing plans to deploy land based interceptor missiles in Romania and Poland. There are having similar weapons in the South Pacific and globally. Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and other NATO leaders routinely assert that the European Phased Adaptive Approach missile system is aimed not only against Iran but North Korea – and Syria. In April of this year Rasmussen became the first NATO secretary general to visit South Korea. Days earlier his second-in-command, Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow, spoke of the possibility of invoking NATO’s Article 5 mutual military assistance clause against North Korea. NATO have waged air and ground war in Europe in Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. since 1999. The Afghanistan war allowed NATO to expand its operations. NATO is not just based in Europe or the States. It has allies all over the Earth from Asia to the Middle East.
There has been a lot of research into the music industry. One of the new artists in the industry is named Azealia Banks. She is filled with controversy for many reasons. She is getting a lot of media attention. She is unique in displaying her lyrical dexterity. One of her new videos is entitled, "Yung Rapunxel." Many researchers believe that she is being creative and talking about the music industry using occult and Illuminati symbolism. I do not believe she is an Illuminati member or anything like that, yet this video has interesting symbolism that must be researched. This video outlines the Elite agenda and occult symbolism indeed. She signed with Interscope Records. The music producer Munchi in 2012 accused her of being in the Illuminati or being thirsty for fame and success by portraying occult references in her music. She is a musician that many other artists are influenced by the celebrity world. They receive a check from the big wigs that are ruled by the real powers that be. The huge amount of occult symbols in Yung Rapunxel leaves home 2 possibilities. Either she is showing this for shock value or she is really down with the Elite's agenda. Rapunzel is about a fairy tale princess who was trapped in a tower. She uses her long hair to allow her Prince Charming to climb up to her. The video has nothing to do with this fictional story though. It has disturbing images and occult symbolism. The artists are seen as a person with little control over her own mind in the video. She is surrounded with the elite's distortion of symbolism. She in the beginning of the video has an owl (which is found in the original Bavarian Illuminati and other occult orders. The owl represents wisdom or the Goddess archetype to the esoteric crowd). The owl has an eye of different colors. She has one single eye on her forehead (representing enlightenment or the opening up of the spiritual chakra according to the occult). The owl Goddess image is found in the Bohemian Grove. The Bohemian Grove is where elitists have the Cremation of Care ceremony and other rituals to deny the cares of the world (and to have their version of "enjoyment"). The Minerva owl is a logo of the first level of the Bavarian Illuminati called Minerval. The video has duality in the images of yin yang and the hamsa image. The Black and white imagery outlines the opposites found in Nature concept. There is an All Seeing Eye in the video. Another image looks similar to the Triple Goddess pendant. In Wiccan mythology, the opposite of the Triple Goddess is the horned god, which represents masculine energy. She rides a bull in the video with a moon on top. This is the union of opposites or the moon crescent being feminine (the bull outlining the masculine principle. When they merge, they form generation via sex magick or the process of generation). These images are known by secret societies like the OTO, Freemasonry, etc. The video shows images relating to the police state controversy of Western society. She breaks a glass bottle on the police's protective gear. This rebellion harms not the police at all. Azaelia falls back in front of the police in saying that she given up fighting the police state. The bigger picture is that Interscope Records seems to show the Mystery School traditions in public like they did with Lady Gaga before. The agenda is beyond an artist. See, if the establishment (which controls the music industry) were really doing this just to troll conspiracy researchers, why have they have been doing this back in the day with Metropolis (which was created as a movie decades ago). The truth is that the music industry is utilized by the real powers that be to indoctrinate especially young people to accept the establishment's agenda (that deals with imperialism, unjust conformity, glamorization of anti-intellectualism, and the distortion of the true meaning of real moral values in society). If you think that the police state agenda is fake, then look at NYC with stop and frisk or how 9,000 cops locked down Boston and Watertown (just to search for one man). The director of the video Jam Sutton has symbolism and imagery all over his photography website. A lot folks love to be on the bandwagon as a means to achieve as much fame as possible. Also, I am not like Mark Dice calling the Sister Azealia Banks every name under the sun like a pseudo-Christian that he is (it takes a real coward to call a woman outside of her name. You can disagree with someone without insulting someone unfairly. You will notice that even the New Testament says let no filthy communication come out of your mouth and Love your neighbor as yourself), but I will outline dissent in a peaceful fashion.

See Something, Say Something… Rat Out Your Neighbor

The mega-hyped Boston bombing has given the police state a mega-boost. All across the nation, people are on pins and needles, afraid of the next terror bombing.
It doesn’t seem to matter that you are more than a thousand times more likely to die in a car accident than in a terrorist attack. People are suckers for government propaganda. If the government tells them terrorists are a threat, they usually believe it despite the fact dying or even getting injured in a terrorist attack is at best a remote possibility.
Authorities and cop shops all around the nation are gearing up for the next phase of the police state. Now that the establishment media has successfully convinced millions of Americans that al-Qaeda and Chechen immigrants are out to get them, it’s time to ramp up the Stasi police state.
For instance, in Pittsburgh, the cops are encouraging folks to call 911 if they “see something.” Actually seeing something is more likely now because the new terrorists look like a lot of Americans – white people from Europe. In the old days before Boston, it was difficult to see a terrorist. Most people on the street in America don’t wear turbans. They don’t look like Muslims from the 14th century. All of that changed on April 15, 2013, though.
“With the recent explosions in Boston, we are reminded once again that we must remain vigilant and aware of what is going on around us in our communities,” Allegheny County Chief of Emergency Services Alvin Henderson told CBS Pittsburgh on Friday.
All of the non-stop fear mongering since the Boston Marathon has paid off in spades. There were 186 reports of “suspicious activity” the week before the Boston Marathon. There were 311 reports of suspicious activity in Allegheny County the week after the bombings, according to CBS News.
No actual terrorist bombs were found, of course. People are now seeing bombs where none exist. All the fear and dread is great for Homeland Security and the military contractors busily preparing to fill the skies with drones and put up thousands and thousands of cameras and microphones on utility poles from Bangor, Maine to Escondido, California.
Mr. Henderson said we’re all part of the “Homeland Security package” providing safety from phantom terrorists we only see on television. It’s our duty to see something and tell the authorities something, no matter how inconsequential.
In fact, according John White, a parking lot attendant in Pittsburgh’s historic Strip District, it is our responsibility to rat out our fellow citizens if we see something suspicious. “As citizens of the city of Pittsburgh, you have an obligation to your fellow neighbor. You have to watch out for anything and everything,” White told CBS News.
All of this informing on fellow citizens will naturally require a further expansion of the police state. More cops will have to be hired. More grants from Homeland Security. More military equipment passed down to police departments from the Pentagon. More high-tech wizardry will need be invented.
Sooner or later, after the next terrorist false flag, somebody will decide the Fourth Amendment is antiquated and, really, too damn dangerous. Police lock downs will be routine following see somebody, say something incidents. Citizens will gladly obey like they did in Boston and Watertown. And they will stand on street corners and enthusiastically wave little plastic flags made in China and chant “USA, USA!” as the founding fathers roll over in their graves.

Goodnight with George Galloway Thatcher episode, Explosive!
Note by Me: I don't agree with calling her a witch and gloating over her death, but the rest of the video is accurate.

The Weekend News
The Cybersecurity bill CISPA harms the Fourth Amendment indeed. The House last week voted 287 to 127 for this legislation. The bill allows the government to have easier access to data from Internet companies. The proponents of this bill believe that it is just made as a way to protect tech firms (like Facebook and Google) including financial institutions from cyber-attacks and theft of intellectual property. The establishment wants to identify sophisticated hackers and allow companies to react quickly to attacks. CIPSA takes government access too far. That is why even Silicon Valley Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Anna Eshoo, Jackie Speier, and Mike Honda still are fighting to safeguard consumers' most sensitive data. Lofgren supports President Barack Obama's threat to veto the act if it isn't amended. She is concerned that it would override all existing state and federal privacy laws, an appalling overreach. The law removes tech firms’ liability and it eliminates a potentially huge, costly risk if they turn over users' private emails, their browsing history, and even medical and financial records whenever the government broadly defines them to be related to a cyber-war. The bill could give the military and the National Security direct access to virtually all information about Internet user if firms allow it as they're encouraged to. Human beings have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures (as found in the Fourth Amendment). Lofgren says the current version of CISPA threatens to throw out the Constitution "whenever something bad happens." Many Valley companies are in favor of the bill. Sharing information about cyber-attacks has significant value to them and freeing them from liability is an evil bonus. The California Legislature is examining bill called AB 1291. It would increase consumer protection online, requiring companies to fully inform them of any personal data that's being collected and shared for business purposes. But it wouldn't offer protections from CISPA if the feds claimed there was a cyber-threat, unless the Senate or Obama acts. There is nothing wrong with online commerce. It is part of our economy. CIPSA is all about government spying with a violation of the Fourth Amendment. It can be stopped and it must be stopped. There is the FBI conducting gun sweeps in Oakland, California. FBI agents and local police SWAT along with California Highway Patrol conducted a massive sweep of Oakland. They barricaded several streets and closed down certain parts of the town for more than an hour. “It appeared to be an extensive operation with many officers involved,” KTVU reported, adding, “There were agents carrying out actions in numerous parts of the city Wednesday night.” Under the guise of serving warrants for drugs and weapons charges, armored vehicles and helicopters circled overhead and assisted the patrols as law enforcement allegedly. This comes after the controversial SB140 was passed in California. The law claims to confiscate guns from folks with serious mental illness and criminal convictions. Reportedly, the tax-payer funded Oakland police did not feel it necessary to divulge details to news crews the night of the raid, saying “they were not at liberty to discuss what the action concerned.” That was evil since human beings have the right to know what is going on. This comes after the Watertown, Mass. lockdown when there was a hit squad of 9,000+ police could barely locate a lone unarmed 19 year old. The issues of gun control and terrorism are being exploited as a means for the state to make the public to accept militarization of society basically. A police state is anti-American. Oakland is one of the cities that are one of the gems in the fight against police abuse and tyranny. That is why the elite targeted Oakland on many occasions. So, we have to fight for a real liberty based society. The enemy is not playing. Yet, the enemy will lose in the end, because the truth is superior to evil and lies.
The growth of social inequality continues in America. Poverty has increased in our age and there is news about this "economic recovery." There is the study by the Pew Research Center that exposes an amorous growth in social inequality in the United States between 2009 and 2011. The figures give expression of the error of bailing out banks while some in the establishment spearheading the assault on workers' wages and social programs all over America. The Pew report used the U.S. Census data to find the poorest 93 percent of U.S. households saw on average a four percent decline in their net worth during the 2 years of stock market boom (while the wealthiest seven percent saw their net worth increase by an average of 28 percent). We have the rise in stock prices since the 2007 financial meltdown. This is part of a limited economic recovery. Much of our wealth has been transferred from the working class to the financial elite. When you study household wealth, you have to measure by all assets. These assets comes from homes, cars, real estate, retirement accounts, stocks, and other financial holdings and subtracting from this all debts like home mortgages, car loans, medical debt, credit card debt, and student loans. The upper 7 percent of households saw their aggregate share of overall national wealth increase to 63 percent in 2011. This is up from 56 percent in 2009. That means that the mean wealth of households in this more affluent group was almost 24 times that of other households in 2011, whereas in 2009 it was only 18 times more. The polls have information about the bottom 93 percent in socioeconomic levels. A shocking 18 percent of the population has a net worth of zero or less (with debts meeting or exceeding all assets). The mean wealth of this group declined from −$34,777 in 2009 to −35,472 in 2011. The biggest percentage decline was in the 9 percent of households who have a net worth of between $1 and $4,999. They saw their mean net worth decline from $2,016 to $1,899, a fall of 6 percent. There was a generally constant average decline of between four and five percent for all households with net worth between $5,000 and $499,999. Even among the high net worth households, there was a stratification with more of the increase in net worth during the so called recovery accruing to the wealthier half of this group. That means that the median net worth of the top bracket actually fell to $836,033 in 2011 from $889,275 in 2009, even though the mean increased. The Pew report comments: “The median refers to the midpoint of a group—in this case, households at the 93.25 percentile of wealth (halfway between the 86.5th percentile and the 100th percentile). A simultaneous rise in the mean and decline in the median implies that aggregate net worth increased only among households above the median—that is, the 8 million households with net worth of $836,033 or more in 2011.” The Pew report says that the main reason why there is a polarization of wealth in this age is the divergence of stocks and other financial instruments. These instruments are buoyed with the full force of the Federal Reserve and government bailouts including the values of homes. For most of the U.S. households, the most valuable asset is the home itself. Millions of families saw the value of this asset collapse during the housing crisis. Recovery has been lethargic. Wealthier households own far more financial assets including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. In households with a net worth over $500,000, 65 percent of their wealth comes from financial holdings and 17 percent comes from their home. In contrast, in households with net worth of less than $500,000, just 33 percent of their wealth comes from financial assets and 50 percent comes from their home. The 2008 crash led to an even further concentration of financial assets in the hands of the wealthy. Only 13 percent of households with net worth below $500,000 owned stock and mutual fund shares in 2011, which is down from 16 percent in 2009. The report deals with data from the Census Bureau, which was last complied in 2011. Social polarization has grown. Housing prices are stagnant. The S&P 500 has gained another 26 percent in value since 2001. The slashing of social spending has worsened the net worth of most households, including the poor. There has been a toll made by mass unemployment and cuts in unemployment benefits. This reality is a product of the financial elite harming society. That is why when you have huge wealth transferred to Wall Street and an attack on the social safety net, then political harm is made onto the American people. There needs to be radical solutions to our issues.
The skeptics even in the mainstream media act like that a false flag operation is some myth. Nothing could be further from the truth. False flag terror is a real historical concept. False flag terrorism is when the government attacks its own people via numerous means (sometimes even via covert means) and then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. It can come about by governments, corporations, or other organizations. The actions are designed as to appear as if they are carried out by other entities. Some relate to war and counter insurgency operations. They have been created during peace time and including in Italy's strategy of tension. The term comes bad to the old days of wooden ships. In that time period, one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. It is because the enemy's flag instead of the real country of the attacking ship was hung, it was called a false flag attack. The rules of engagement for naval, air, and land warfare ban false flag attacks. Many leaders have talked about the dangers of false flags (or an attack done by an enemy that pretends to be a friend) like Plato, U.S. President James Madison, etc. Governments globally have admitted that they have carried out false flag terror. A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that from orders from the chief of the Gestapo, he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles (as a means to justify the invasion of Poland). The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950's to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran as a means to turn Iran against it democratically elected Prime Minister. This action was called Operation Ajax involving British Intelligence too not just the CIA. Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed). This was the Lavon bombing affair. Quebec police admitted in 2007 that thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers. Officers like these are known to provocateur protests. At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of Parliament saw plan clothes cops attempting to incite the crowd to violence. The BBC, the New York Times, and the Associated Press, Macedonian officials admitted that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood (and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers trying to assassinate Macedonian police as a means to join the war on terror). Senior Russian senior military and military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings and falsely blamed it on Chechens as a means to justify an invasion of Chechnya. Operation Northwoods was a planned false flag operation. Therefore, the bottom line is that governments globally have carried out false flags even by their own admissions. All terrorism must be examined on their merits before reaching any conclusion on whether it is a false flag attack or not.
Chen Guangcheng's family faces death threats and harassment. The reason is that Chen and his family are ardent opposers of forced abortions including the one child policy in China. In late April 2012, Chen scaled the back wall of his compound and eluded the frustrated grasp of the Chinese Communist security machine and family planning officials. It is like the authorities want to punish him on the anniversary of his escape. We see that Chen's relatives in Dongshigu Village are being seriously harassed and subjected to death threats. Chen Guagncheng spent more than four years in jail. After that, he was in more than a year under severe house arrest for exposing the widespread and systematic use of forced abortion involuntary sterilization (in the coercive enforcement of China's One Child policy). Chen Guangcheng now lives in America. Reggie Littlejohn or the President of Women's rights without Frontiers gave LifeNews.com more detail about the threats. According to reports by Yaxue Cao of “Seeing Red in China” and by Chinese Human Rights Defenders, harassment of Chen’s relatives has intensified greatly in the past several weeks. Littlejohn said that his home has been pelted with stones, breaking windows, and damaging the roof. There have been dead chickens and ducks being thrown onto his property along with fake money that is burned for the dead. According to the HRIC, “[t]his is a curse and a threat used by the local villagers; it means death and conveys the idea that killing the person is as easy as killing a chicken or a duck.” Flyers have been posted around Dongshigu Village denouncing Chen Guangcheng and Chen Guangfu. She said that authorities detained Chen Guangfu's wife allegedly for hiding and sheltering a criminal. The criminal would be her son Chen Kegui. On April 26, 2012, after the authorities found Chen Guangcheng missing, they came into the home of Chen Guangfu. They dragged him away and they beat his wife and son named Chen Kegui. Kegui grabbed a kitchen knife to defend himself, because he feared for his life. According to Congressional testimony of Chen Guangcheng, these officials did not sustain any major injuries. Nevertheless, Kegui was charged with attempted murder. He was later convicted of “intentional injury” and sentenced to three years and three months in prison. On April 9, 2013, Chen Guangcheng testified at a Congressional hearing, in which he set forth the promises to him broken by the Chinese Communist Party and detailed the ongoing persecution of his family. The intensified harassment of his relatives in China followed shortly afterwards. “We condemn the persecution of the relatives of Chen Guangcheng by Chinese Communist thugs,” Littlejohn said. She continued: “This harassment is clearly designed to silence him as one of the leading voices in the world to expose the brutality of this regime. The Chinese government will even stoop to detain without food or water a 10-year-old child in an attempt to silence her activist father, as in the case of Zhang Anni, earlier this month. We urge Chinese President Xi Jinping to stop the harassment of Chen Guangcheng’s relatives in Dongshigu Village. We call upon President Obama and Secretary Kerry to urgently intervene on behalf of Chen Guangcheng’s relatives in China.” The human rights group ChinaAd monitored the situation. They reported information to LifeNews as well. Chen Gangfu is Chen Guangcheng's eldest brother. The assaulted against Chen Guangfu came about for about a half hour. Chen Guangfu's home was damaged. Chen Guangcheng's youngest brother named Chen Gaungjun was working in Linyi. He received a call from the procuratorate's office. The office told him to report to the Yinan County Procuratorate, which he did, but since it was already 6 p.m. when he arrived, the Procutorate was already closed for the day. The big lesson is that forced abortion is still evil and all us of have the right to oppose forced abortion completely.
More is coming out about the legacy of Margaret Thatcher. The residents of the UK or the Brits will tell you what evil Thatcher did onto the nation of the United Kingdom. Even the quasi sympathetic Oscar nominated portrayal of Britain's first female Prime Minister in the Hollywood movie The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep could not obfuscate the truth of Thatcher's real legacy. Thatcher was harsh in her treatment of the H-Block Hunger Strikers of 1981. Her policies harmed the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish working class. She destroyed the miners' union during the course of a one year strike from 1984 to 1985. She crushed the militant miners of the National Union of Mineworkers under Arthur Scargill. She privatized the entire British coal mining industry, which was previously nationalized from 1946 to 1987 as the National Coal Board. To an extremist like Thatcher, a daily pint of milk is equivalent to communism or a violation of the free market, which silliness. Her economic views were influenced by Austrian school ideologue Friedrich von Hayek. Hayek hated the New Deal. Sir Alfred Sherman and Sir Keith Joseph influenced Margaret Thatcher's policies and political influence. She treated the mine workers very bad and made a brutal suppression of the mineworkers' union the N.U.M. She called the ANC in these terms: "...The African National Congress is a typical terrorist organisation … Anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is living in cloud-cuckoo land’ – Margaret Thatcher, 1987. Her foreign policy was carried out by Lord Geoffrey. Margaret Thatcher did everything that she could to prevent economic sanctions from being imposed on the then apartheid South Africa. This caused her to have conflict with Rajiv Gandhi of INdia and Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia. She like Ronald Reagan believed in the old discredited neo-liberal economic model. She and her allies had a role in the cold blooded mass murder of hundreds of Argentinian sailors abroad the General Belgrano back in 1982. The General Belgrano was an undefended troop ship that she personally gave the order to sink during the Falklands War. It was well clear of any combat zone. She was a close ally of the fascist Chilean dictator Pinochet. When she was the Secretary of Education in the Heath Tory government, she abolished the provision of a third pint of milk for primary school children aged 7-11. This program helped the poorer mining, industrial, and farming towns and villages of Wales, Scotland, and the north of England (where vitamin deficiency diseases like rickets and pellagra had been an immense public health program). That is why she was nicknamed, "Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher." The poll tax that she passed during the end of her reign was too much for some. It was very unpopular, because everyone was taxed the same regardless of income. That tax harmed the poor since a proportional tax will harm the poor much more than the rich. It was an abhorrent regressive tax. She tried it in Scotland first and protests existed all over the United Kingdom. She imposed draconian budget cuts. There were Trafalgar Square Riots that were in response to the evil poll tax. Unemployment soared to 3.5 million+. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Thatcher allowed the U.S. air force to bomb Libya from airbases in England. She said that there is no such thing society, which exemplified her philosophy. Her philosophy was that society is not real. The truth is that society is ever real and we should use society to benefit all human beings.

Sorry, but there are no corrections needed on my part.

Your part however is another matter.
- Trains haven't gone choo-choo in more than 60 years.
- I didn't report numbers for HRT; I reported national averages.
- The national averages however for hourly costs are $124.50 & $248.4. Still changes nothing, since the point is what does it cost per passenger mile; not per hour.
- Out in Portland, OR where they move essentially the same number of passenger miles by bus as they move by LRT, their hourly costs are $136.19 bus & $175.18 LRT.
- During the 16 years from 1996-2011 to do the same job in terms of how far people are moved, total spending for rail including capital & operating was $2.905B. Total spending for buses, $3.111B.
- Conclusion, light rail is cheaper long term!

But it does exist around the country in some cities. It is called Bus Rapid Transit or BRT for short. And despite those hourly figures you like to toss around, it is still more expensive than LRT. Again, the point of public transit is to move people from point A to point B. This is measured in passenger miles, 1 person moved 1 mile = 1 passenger mile.
According to the National Transit Database report for 2011 the average of all transit agencies in the US using BRT was 90 cents per passenger mile.
That is 30 cents higher than the average for LRT, which comes in at 60 cents per passenger mile.
Don't get me wrong, buses have a role in the transportation mix; but unless you actually like higher taxes, you should be supporting light rail.

New Events in a New Era
About Boston, I do believe in Boston Truth. We have the right to find the truth about these events. There is an official story about the Boston bombings. We know that about nine thousand heavily armed police including SWAT Teams were deployed in a manhunt to capture the 19 year old student at U-Mass. This was after his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was murdered in shoot out with the authorities. The 19 year old student has been called guilty before any police investigation. After the wake of the attacks, comes the alleged anthrax and ricin letters in Washington, D.C. Both Washington and the media have talked about the Tsarnaev brothers having tenuous ties to the Chechyna's militant jihadist insurgency. The Wall Street Journal said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev belonged to a Russian social networking site called Vkontakte. There is a clip by Dzhokahr of rallying jihadists for fighting in Syria. What is implied is that even if the suspects are not tied to a Muslim extremist network, their embedded cultural heritage and Muslim “background” incites them –quite naturally– to commit acts of violence. The Western media wants to associate Muslims with terrorism. Radio talk show hosts are saying that Islam instead of extremist behavior is responsible for the evil bombings in Boston. All over the world, Muslims are being smeared and demonized as terrorists via Islamophobia. Now, the neo cons are claiming that the Chechen connection is threatening America. We know that the events from Boston are being used as a means to justify Western expansion of imperialism overseas and the domestic police state at home. The Council on Foreign Relations (with influence on the White House and the State Department) said that the Boston bombings once again “raise the specter of terrorism on U.S. soil, highlighting the vulnerabilities of a free and open society.” The Chechen terrorists found in the Russian Federation have links to other folks. We know that the Chechnya jihadist movement has links to U.S. intelligence. The modern jihadists’ movement has been influenced by U.S. intelligence. The CIA linking up Islamic jihad movement has been real in 1979 when such extremists tried to expel the Soviets from Afghanistan. The CIA back in the late 1970's wanted to recruit and train jihadist freedom fighters or the Mujahedeen to fight the secular government of Afghanistan. Such folks or jihadists were aided by the Reagan administration. Among the recruits for specialized training in the early 1990s was the leader of the Chechnya rebellion Shamil Basayev who –in the immediate wake of the Cold War– led Chechnya’s first secessionist war against Russia. During his training in Afghanistan, Shamil Basayev linked up with Saudi born veteran Mujahedeen Commander “Al Khattab” who had fought as a volunteer in Afghanistan. Khattab worked with Chechen fighters. Shamil Basayev had ties to U.S. intelligence since the late 1980's. The first Chechnya war was from 1994 to 1996 and the second one was from 1999 to 2000. Some of the exact same guerilla terrorist tactics applied in Afghanistan were implemented in Chechnya. The Gazette Montreal from October 26, 1999 said that the Pakistan's ISI aided Chechnya. The Tsarnaev brothers have no strong link to the jihadist movement, yet the U.S. media is using a Chechen connection as a means to justify claiming of jihadism as a motivating factor in the terrorist actions. There is evidence, however, from the testimony of family members that the Tsarnaev brothers were on the radar of the FBI for several years prior to the Boston bombings and were the object of recurrent threats and harassment. Confirmed by the Wall Street Journal, the FBI had “interviewed” Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011. We don't need some militarized police apparatus to dominate us. The establishment wants to use counterterrorism, extrajudicial killings, the suspension of habeas corpus, and torture as a means to harm human rights. The paranoia about home ground self-radicalizing terrorism is a new situation where the establishment seeks to harm human civil liberties.
We know more information about the ACA or Obamacare. We know now about its strengths and its numerous errors. The law mandates citizens to buy coverage from private insurance companies, which is highly troubling to say the least. The idea of a mandate to purchase insurance is a reactionary Republican invention. The foundation of the law deals with the growing of a mostly privatized healthcare system that excludes the sickest and poorest. The healthcare we have now is more tiered to medical coverage at our expense. There are new developments about this issue. If you hand over state money to big insurance at the detriment of the people, then you have corporatism and borderline fascism not freedom or pragmatism. Many Republican lawmakers refuse to expand Medicaid in various states. Florida Governor Scott even opposed the ACA and Medicaid expansion until the state legislature and the federal government approved their plan to take Medicaid money from the expanded coverage and give it to the insurance companies. The government and big insurance corporations helped to write the ACA law. This doesn't mean that the free market is God. It is not God, because look at the pipeline spills, the Gulf rig pills, and the plants explosions like the recent one in Texas that unfortunately murdered innocent human beings. The full effect of the Affordable Care Act will happen in the future. The ACA has much complexity and some fear that thousands of people will remain uninsured while health costs will rise. We have 48 million Americans lacking health coverage. The reality is that the bankers control much of these industries as a means to control the lives of the people. Another 29 million are underinsured with poor coverage. The reason for this is that we have a fragmented, highly inefficient system. As high as 31 percent of U.S. health care spending goes toward administrative costs not care itself. That is why populists want single payer health care system where on plan will cover all citizens regardless of employment status, age, income, or health status. Having a public fund that pays for care will slash administrative inefficiencies (and profit taking by the private insurance industry). Physicians and hospitals would continue to compete with one another based on service, quality of care and reputation. The chief difference is that they would bill a single entity for their services, rather than numerous insurers. The nonpartisan U.S. General Accounting Office concluded that single- payer health care would save the United States nearly $400 billion per year, enough to cover all of the uninsured. Some want this system in the state of Minnesota. In the final analysis, working people and non-working people of all ethnic and social backgrounds can create an united front as a means to make Wall Street accountable (and to extract from Wall Street the necessary means to have housing, health care, jobs, education, mass transit, and other benefits in the world society). There have been protests nationwide against proposed cuts to Social Security from Washington, D.C. to Newark. The People’s Organization for Progress held demonstrations, in Newark, New Jersey, to protest President Obama’s proposed cuts to Social Security and other entitlement programs. Many big Foundations have infiltrated social movements including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. That is why we need to have independent organizations in helping all of the people. Human beings want freedom without exploitation including without imperialism.
For months, dedicated supporters of the sanctity of human life have discussed about the Kermit Gosnell controversy. The judge in the trial of the abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell had acquitted him of three of the eight murder charges the abortion business owner faces in his murder trial. Gosnell once faced up to eight total murder counts (one for killing a woman in a botched abortion and seven for killing babies in abortion-infanticides that involved live-birth abortions and snipping their necks after birth). Gosnell's defense attorney asked the judge to drop three of the charges for killing the babies. The judge agreed with the suggestion. The judge apparently felt that there was not enough evidence to convict Gosnell on those charges. Another charge of infanticide was dropped. He faces still other charges that the prosecution has brought and the murder trial will continue on them. One of the dropped charges involves a 28 week old baby that Gosnell killed whose remains were kept in an abortion clinic freezer. Common pleas court Judge Jeffrey Minehart also dropped five counts of corpse abuse at the request of his defense attorney Jack McMahon. He didn't explain his ruling dropping any of the charges. The defense believes that there were no live births at Gosnell's Women's Medical Center abortion clinic. The defense thinks that the babies died during abortions and their necks were snipped afterwards. Yet, former Gosnell staffers testified they saw signs of life even after the abortion had been completed — saying the babies jumped and screamed and tried to escape. According to AP, McMahon told the judge “there is not one piece …. of objective, scientific evidence that anyone was born alive” “We still have a long to go,” McMahon told the press about the rest of his Gosnell defense. One pro-life advocate has followed the trial closely. She said that the charge should not have been dismissed. She said that: “I am shocked that these counts have been dismissed. I have heard testimony by very credible witnesses to the effect that these babies were murdered in cold blood by Gosnell as they cried and struggled for life. We pray that justice will be done in the remaining five victims of Gosnell’s horrific slayings,” said Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue, who has observed the trial and published first-hand accounts of the proceedings. Sulllenger said that the testimony from the medical examiner and toxicologist has indicated that there was no evidence that the babies were injected with Digoxin to ensure that the babies were dead prior to the abortion (as the defense has claimed). The medical examiner testified that the tests were inconclusive as proof that that babies were born alive. Yet, the tests did not prove that the babies were dead prior to birth. The inconclusive test results were overshadowed by something. That is the weight of testimony from witness after witness who shown how the babies were in fact living prior to being murdered. One witness called the murders as a virtual beheading. “If Gosnell gets off scot-free, that will send a message that murdering live babies and abortion patients is now acceptable behavior in America and that abortionists who engage in such depraved practices are above the law. This would put women and babies in grave danger – more than they already face – at abortion clinics throughout the nation,” said Sullenger. The accusation even shocked investigative officials. The macabre abortion practices shocked the nation. These horrific actions represent some clinics having lax oversight and lax accountability for a long time. Gosnell's wife Pearl pleaded guilty to assisting her husband at his Philadelphia abortion center where he killed a woman in a botched abortion and has killed hundreds of babies in abortion-infanticides. Pearl, according to the grand jury report, testified that she alone helped Kermit to do the abortions on Sundays when she would help do the instruments in the operating room without medical training. This comes after the botched abortion death of 41 year old Karnamaya Mongar. She died at Gosnell's abortion clinic after a failed abortion. She died on November 20, 2009, after overdosing on anesthetics prescribed by the doctor. Mongar's family filed a lawsuit against Gosnell's abortion business seeking damages. At first, Judge Lerner ruled two other former employees, Eileen O’Neill and Madeline Joe, are not allowed to have their cases separated from that of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Neither O’Neill nor Joe are charged with killing babies in infanticides and, although their attorneys argued the horrifying allegations against Gosnell could unfairly taint their cases, they were not allowed to plead guilty in deals as was the case with six other former employees. This is wild, but it outlines the end results of eugenics.
Michael Bloomberg is not only an enemy of the Constitution, but of legitimate human rights in general. He recently said that the Constitution will have to changed not to make America better. It must be changed in order for more cameras to come about. He wants NYC to be like other cities where CCTV cameras are all over the place. The New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg believes that the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution will have to change, because of the Boston terrorist bombings. He wants more security, which will violate more human liberties. New York City has always hardcore surveillance, stop and frisk, and other evil policies as it is. Innocent human beings have been harmed as a result of these reckless, abhorrent policies inside of New York City. Bloomberg has been violator of the Constitution since he first gotten into office as the Mayor of New York City. In the past year alone, he overseen police beating on peaceful protesters, a huge increase in stop and frisk tactics (that specifically target Black and Hispanic community), and running a secret spying program against innocent Muslims. Bloomberg love to spend millions of dollars in strict gun control legislation without addressing socioeconomic issues that contribute to gun violence in the first place. He wants military style surveillance drones hovering over New York that is fitted with facial recognition software. He is controversial in banning smoking in public. He attempted to ban trans-fats, large sugary drinks and Styrofoam cups. Just because we don't live in the olden days anymore, doesn't mean that we deserve some oppressive police state monitoring our every move in the world at all. We have the right to freedom. We have the subsequent right to justice as well. Even Benjamin Franklin is right that Americans should never trade liberty for greater security at all. It is bigger than an authoritarian mayor though. We have vigilantism being responsible for the evil, unjust murder of the 17 year old teenager Trayvon Martin. We know the myth of the post-racial America has been exposed by the murderous events and other occurrences in recent years. The current system was created and built on slavery and is maintained in the bedrock of oppression. This is not just an issue of one city. Ramarley Graham was killed in the Bronx. Stephon Watts and Rekia Boyd were murdered in the Chicago area. Dane Scott Jr. was killed in Oklahoma. Even Bill Cosby is in error to try to blame the victims for their own oppression. The oppressor via white supremacy is responsible for oppression. It is fine that Jim Crow is gone. Yet, we need to address poverty, unemployment, bad housing, corrupt education, and rampant crooked cop terror. In other to achieve justice, the destruction of the corrupt economic and social beast must be gone and it should be replaced with a fairer system in the world.
The Cold War has a long history. There has been a discussion about China. The truth is sometimes in between the two extremes. Not everyone in China is some enemy regardless of what anti-Communist extremists say. Yet, some in the leadership of China have made errors. Modern Chinese national power came as a result of the Chinese Revolution in 1949. It was led by Mao Zedong. Mao and his Chinese Communist Party defeated the nationalists. Mao later worked in the realm of Stalinist thought. He wanted a national state and wanted coexistence with global capitalism. Mao wanted a bloc of four classes and he wanted a new democracy. Once, the People's Liberation Army entered cities, strikes and other independent workers' struggles were routinely suppressed. The Mao regime postponed land reform and the Chinese Trotskyists (who opposed such policies and wanted the independent mobilization of the working class) were murdered. Some were thrown into prison by the hundreds at the hands of Maoists to be released. There was the Great Leap Forward in 1958 and the Cultural Revolution of 1966 to 1969 were huge historical events. There was the rapprochement of Nixon with China in the 1970's. President Richard Nixon made a visit to China in 1972. He shook hands with Mao Zedong in Beijing in the date of February 21, 1972. Even before Nixon was elected President, Nixon talked about the need for better relations with the PRC. Kissinger met with Premier Zhou. Richard Nixon wanted Triangulation. Triangulation is the political plan where America would play the Soviet Union and China against each other as a means for both nations to be split (and the American hegemony to be stronger at the expense of the tension or divisions among China and the Soviet Union). Nixon had positive coverage by the media in the whole affair. He was praised for his actions by the political establishment. Mao was ill during this time period of Nixon visiting him, but he was strong enough to visit him. Richard Nixon visited the Great Wall, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. Nixon and China wanted to try to have full normalization via the Shanghai Communique. Some privatization came about with Deng Xiaoping. Deng even made the slogan of: "To get rich is glorious." Today, virtually all the land collectivized after 1949 has been restored to private ownership, restrictions on private ownership of industry have been largely dismantled and a massive penetration of foreign capital has been encouraged. There is still huge social inequality and forced abortion in China. The Tiananmen Square massacre outlined some who wanted real social and political reforms being crushed by an authoritarian regime. Ruling bureaucrats in China used military tanks and other police state tactics as a means to crush the Chinese people's right to have free speech and political freedom. Folks wanted independent trade unions as well. The bloodbath of June 3-4, 1989 expressed the regime's organic fear of the working class. Student leaders and dissidents received jail terms, but workers who led strikes were summarily shot, sentenced to death or imprisoned for many years. By June 22, the bureaucracy revealed that 27 workers had been officially executed, but many more were killed. Today, the leadership of China wants its own hegemony in the world.

Relevant news near May
It is a historical fact that the FBI fosters and equipped American terrorists. We know about the Boston Marathon bombing that provoked shock, grief, and outrage from around the globe. Much of the propaganda campaign has worked among some to believe that terrorism is automatically equated with Muslim radicals exclusively. Yet, we see that many terror plots on American soil in the last 10 years have been fostered, funded, and equipped by the FBI. Human beings from around the world have expressed legitimate outrage at the evil Boston Marathon bombings. That act was cowardly and completely evil. This event has been exploited by some to justify further actions (from violations to our civil liberties to more war mongering in the world) in the contrived war on terror. Now, some want to blame Muslims for this event when the reality is that extremists are responsible for these actions. The New York Post falsely implied that a Saudi national (being questioned about his possible role in the attack). The next day, a plane departing Boston Logan Airport, returned to the gate and two passengers were forcibly removed because they had been overheard speaking Arabic before takeoff. We must reject a knee jerk tendency to blame Muslims for every act of terrorism in the world. Bombs targeting innocents in America are not necessarily link inextricably with bearded, turban wearing human beings. In 2005, federal prosecutors charged the 47 year old drifter Michael Reynolds with attempting to wage jihad on the U.S. by blowing up fuel facilities. He lived with his elderly moth. The reality was that his plan for jihad was nothing more than a group of conversations he had on a Yahoo! Chat room with an U.S. judge posing as a militant. He was arrested after agreeing to meet with an FBI informant who had promised him $40,000 for his cause. Two months later, the FBI quietly announced that he was likely mentally ill. He was convicted and is currently serving 25 years in jail. We know about the Fort Dix Six back in 2007. It dealt with a much hyped FBI terror bust. The men were said to want to attack an U.S. military base and kill the soldiers there. In that time, a 26 page indictment revealed that the group had “no rigorous military training” and “did not appear close to being able to pull off an attack.” The next year it was revealed that the FBI informant, who had infiltrated the group, had in fact offered to organize the members and lead the plot itself. In 2009, we have the Newburgh Four. They were arrested for an alleged plot to blow up synagogues and shoot down military airplanes in Newburgh, New York. The group was stereotyped as poor black men. One of them was mentally unstable. Shahad Hussein turned out to be an FBI informant who had promised the members hundreds of thousands of dollars to carry out the plot. During the sentencing the defendants, Federal Judge Colleen McMahon said that: “[The government] created acts of terrorism out of [the defendant's] fantasies of bravado and bigotry, and then made those fantasies come true. The government did not have to infiltrate and foil some nefarious plot – there was no nefarious plot to foil.” There was the FBI in November of 2010 busting the so-called Christmas Tree Bomber. He was allegedly trying to bomb the lighting ceremony at Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square. The FBI said that the threat was real. The alleged bomber or Arthur Balizan was a teenager. He bragged to undercover agents that he could get a gun since he was a rapper (and wrote an article on workout tips for jihadists). In 2011, the FBI arrested a man that they themselves had supplied with a remote controlled plane and C4 explosives in a harebrained attempt to bomb the Pentagon. In 2012 they busted another would-be jihadi that they again had supplied with a fake gun and suicide vest. The FBI in 2012 busted a group of five anarchists. They were accused of trying to bomb a bridge in the Cleveland area. It was quietly admitted that the FBI informant infiltrated the group. This informant had initiated contact with them and was present at the meetings where they developed the plan to blow up the bridge. So, many FBI informants work with the plotters until it is time for an arrest. Many FBI insiders and whistleblowers have exposed this history. We have the right to question the war on terror paradigm in the world. Many terror plots in the past have been exaggerated or otherwise. The FBI even has been complicit in many terror campaigns from COINTELPRO to other events.
Globalism has been an old goal spanning a very long time. Some want a world currency by 2018 called the Phoenix. The Fabian socialist H.G. Wells wrote in his 1939 book called The New World Order that mentioned a planned world government, which will come as a world state from a conference in Basra, Iraq. As early as the late 1800's, Skulls and Bones member William Whitney wanted the nation to alternate political power between the Democrats and the Republicans. Many Theosophists like Alice Bailey said that by 2025, there will be the end of the momentary cycle. So, Bailey believed that her Maitreya figure won't come to Earth until after 2025. Alice Bailey said in 1933 that according to “The Plan,” the World Federation of Nations would be “taking rapid shape” by 2025. So, the elite have their timelines. They always ally with the occult, because some of them actually believe in it as a means to gain power and psychological influence over the masses of the people. The good news is masses of the people are smart enough to realize that economic inequality and other injustices are abhorrent. One of the easy goals to see of the establishment is to bash the concept of the individual. There is value in the group and the individual. Individual initative and individual power can change the world along with collective power. Now, in this age, the Obama administration has tried to eliminate even journalists to make favorable words about the White House. According to a report published by the New York Times in July 2012, media outlets are often not allowed to print quotes from members of the Obama team until the administration has had an opportunity to edit them. This is a fact. "I can tell you categorically that there's always been, right from the get-go of the administration, an overzealous sensitivity to any push-back from any media outlet," said David Brody, a political correspondent for CBN News. Neil Munro, a White House correspondent for the Daily Caller shared a similar sentiment. "The reporters I've spoken to who have covered multiple administrations have said this is tighter, more restricted than other administrations. They don't like it. They don't have the power to change it," Munro declared. We know how the CFR and other interests influence the mainstream media and their reporting. The CIA with Operation Mockingbird and their other agents influence the mainstream media all of the time. Culturally, we should be better. We know that seditions, heresies, drunkenness, reveling, adultery, etc. don't work. These things don't lead into a more moral world. They lead into more destruction, evils, and other problems. We don't need an oppressive theocracy, but we can advance a culture where more ethics are common place.
Now, we know that there is value in diversity. Diversity can be greatly beneficial to society where there is equity. When you have true equity of opportunity and access for all, diversity is fine in any society. When you have systems of inequality, discrimination, and oppression, then you will have conflicts. When you have the total, complete freedom of association, then human beings can live good, normal, healthy choices. Yet, in order for a real society to come, we have to address racism, inequality, and discrimination. There is still housing discrimination in America. Changing laws are important too. When you change laws and change institutions to make society more egalitarian, then even some reactionary human beings can change to be more receptive toward authentic justice. Giving all human beings educational opportunities, nutrition, and real economic power can benefit all of the people. Even Tim Wise is right to point out the following information: "...They are facial structure, skin color, and hair texture. Those are things that are controlled by six genes out of thirty thousand genes in the human genome and those genes have never been shown by any geneticist on the planet, any biologist on the planet, to be connected, or what geneticists call “concordant,” with any other trait known as intelligence or known as temperament or behavior or ethics or morality or any of those kinds of things. So even though individuals absolutely have certain genetic predispositions towards everything from certain diseases to the ability to sing, to play music, to jump high, to run fast, there’s no reason to believe that those things would cluster on the basis of this thing that we now call race...." That is why we need to continue to advance freedom and not only that. We should advance a radical, revolutionary change of the current system in this world. There huge disparities in income, wealth, education, etc. ought to be eliminated. People of color especially in America have been oppressed and we deserve that justice. Also, racism is not just overt hatred or Jim Crow acts of terror. Racism can be subtle in unfair biases and stereotypical thinking about certain people groups. Racists now ascribe to the lie that cultural flaws exist collectively in minority communities, therefore it is used to justify some in believing in the lie of the inferiority of minorities. Progress in America has slowed, because since the 1970's, we have a decline in heavy industry, we have a real dollar decline, and we have the glamorization of reactionary policies in America. Therefore, the poor now have a harder time coming into the middle class even. Benefits are eroding and jobs are hard to come by. Even for the modern criminal justice system to ban ex-offenders from voting for life even after they have paid their debt to society is unjust. The Sister Michelle Alexander is right to point that out in her book entitled, "The New Jim Crow." Welfare is the new scapegoat that reactionaries use as a means to justify neo-liberal propaganda. The reality is that most black Americans never received benefits from most of these programs. Even at their height, programs like AFDC/TANF never reached more than perhaps 8 percent of black Americans at any given time (now it’s about 4 percent). Only about 18 percent of black Americans receive food stamps. So, to assume that such programs will cause some cultural dysfunction is fantasy. Also, various Scandinavian nations have higher rates of social spending as a share of their GDP of all income earned. Yet, this massive welfare system for Scandinavia has not caused a massive economic tragedy there at all. The reality is that nutrition for the elderly, rural housing insurance, adoption assistance, Pell Grants for college, disability payments for disabled children, green technology, etc. are not sins at all. They are blessings. Many of the Great Society programs were beginning to work until budgets were cut and the economy shift from manufacturing to a more service economic system (in the 1970's).
White supremacy has used restrictions of weapons for centuries. White supremacy has used drones and Africom and we know who supports that agenda. They or the establishment wants the monopoly of arms in guns, bombs, nuclear weapons, drones, etc. It is hypocritical for those to lecture on gun control and then support the policy of aiding terrorists in Syria or aiding terrorists in Libya killing black men, women, and children. Living in some suburb with armed bodyguards and denying others a God given right is not consistent at all. It is neither a sin nor evil to possess a gun as a long as someone doesn't use that gun for an evil purpose. That is the point. The white supremacist Hitler wanted a monopoly of arms and restricted Jewish folks from defending themselves. They restricted the arms of black human beings in America during the Maafa and during the time in Reconstruction via oppressive laws. The issue is that the state has no right to have a monopoly of arms. Having a monopoly of arms dictated by the system of white supremacy is the issue. Stop and frisk, mass incarceration, the war on Drugs, and other evils have to do with corrupt actions that violate human universal liberties. These realities have nothing to do with innocent human beings having the right to defend themselves or any black human being having the right to be armed. It was the Deacons of Defense that utilized arms to protect innocent law abiding civil rights activists that just wanted to exercise their God given rights. It was the Black Panthers that used arms to defend themselves against crooked police officers. It was the black revolutionaries from Nkrumah to Lumumba that used arms to fight against white supremacists and imperialists. Malcolm X advocated the ownership of arms. So, the use of arms for good is righteous. The usage of arms for evil is morally wrong. The Colorado movie theater, the mall shootings, etc. were done by criminals who many of them possessed mental illness or deranged situations. These folks are not representative of real, rational people. No real black freedom lover is using coded language. If some bigoted whites are using it, and then they are wrong since the fundamental point is that any human being has the right to self-defense (and we can advance your gun safety moves). You can solve the murder epidemic in Chicago by addressing socioeconomic issues and creating a radical Marshall like plan to help folks in Chicago (and throughout the nation. Trayvon Martin died at the hand of a brute and that SYG law should be banned of course since it advances vigilantism). Law abiding citizens include the vast majority of black human beings living in the ghetto, middle class, rich, or rural areas worldwide. People like us oppose police brutality, racial profiling, and other evils. I don't believe in scapegoating all gun owners for crimes by evil human beings. Real folks will never blame the victims of white supremacy of their own oppression, but white supremacy has used radical anti-gun measures all throughout history. No one is advocating anybody to own a gun like crooked police or deranged criminals. Innocent human beings have the right to their freedom. People from across the political spectrum and even socialists are not advocating the state to have a monopoly of arms.
The privatization of water is still a threat in the world. The current Chairman and former CEO of Nestlé, who is the largest producer of food products in the world, wants something. He wants privatization as a means to solve global water issues. The statement is clear from the company that has peddled junk food in the Amazon. It has invested money to thwart the labeling of GMO-filled products and has a disturbing health and ethics record for its infant formula. Nestle has shown a cyber-army to monitor Internet criticism. Nestle is a company with a history of creating shortages according to some sources. According to Jeffrey Green from the Activist Post: "...Large multinational beverage companies are usually given water-well privileges (and even tax breaks) over citizens because they create jobs, which are apparently more important to the local governments than water rights to other taxpaying citizens…” These companies such as Coca Cola and Nestlé (which bottles suburban Michigan well-water and calls it Poland Spring) suck up millions of gallons of water, leaving the public to suffer with any shortages...." Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe denies that access to water is a public right. Having access to water is a human right. If privatization is the answer, then we should we trust big multinational corporations sending water to folks? The answer is No. Dilwan said that Nestle is responsible for sending children filthy water in the small Pakistani community of Bhati Dilwan. Dilwan is a former village councilor. Dilwan said that the water was not only dirty, but the water level sank from 100 to 300 to 400 feet. If the community experienced fresh water being piped in, it would eliminate Nestle of its lucrative market in water bottled under the Pure Life brand. Brabeck outlined his views on water and Nature years ago. He said that Nature is pitiless and that organic food is bad including that GM is great view. To Brabeck, you are an extremist if you disagree with him or love organic foods. His views are important to know since it outlines the mentality of many of these anti-health freedom activists. We do not need Nature to be starved of resources at all. Brabeck acts like his Nestle Group is ensuring the health of the global population. What would improve the health of the global population deals with true environmental care. Globalization have allow transnational corporations to and trade organizations to have a lust to own as much of the Earth's resources as possible. International financial groups want the same goal as well. Water resources are important for all of human life because of obvious reasons. Pollution has damaged fresh water resources of the world. Even the Green Revolution was not perfect and caused more sucking of scare groundwater. Suez Lyonnaise grew its reach in water supplies. The German based RWE Aktiengesellschaft purchased the British OMI-Thames (including the largest private water company in America called the United States American Water Works). Many multinational water corporations even lobbied the World Water Forum meeting back in 2001 to change the definition of water from being a human right to a human need. So, we do not need privatization. We need the right of the people to have clean water instead. Water is never some commodity that ought to be only sold for private gain. It is a right of the people.
