June 6-9 is the time of the Bilderberg meeting. There are issues about social protests, war on terrorism, Iran, domestic spying, Syria, etc. Will Hutton is a British political economist. He called the Bilderberg Group as the high priests of globalization. We know that they want to discuss key issues. They readily work together as a means to exploit the world's resources. The hotel where the meeting will take place at is called London's cosmopolitan country estate. Parts of Google can record the user's web movements forever. It provides a permanent record. This spurns OECD Privacy Guidelines and EU data protection law provisions. Back in 2004, Google acquired the CIA linked company called Keyhole, Inc. It has a worldwide 3-D spy in the sky images database. It is supported by the CIA funded firm of In-Q-Tel (it invests in high levels of information technology that serve American national security interests). SO, we know that Google has worked with the CIA on various endeavors for years. Sources show that Google and Bilderberg are merging their interests. This will cause a huge network of powerful individuals that include bank heads, technology developers, CEOs of corporations, and Prime Ministers. In his 2011 book How to Run the World: Charting a Course to the Next Renaissance, Parag Khanna – Director of the Global Governance Initiative at the New America Foundation - outlines a vision for the future in which mega corporations, NGO’s and governments team up to govern the globe. As the Asia Times reports “Apart from the usual government/institutional suspects, Khanna includes an array of extra players in the new rulers of the world, mostly powerful NGOs such as the Gates Foundation. These players are particularly fond of the global conference circuit – from the annual bash at in Davos of the World Economic Forum (WEF) to the seductively mysterious Bilderberg Group.” The nation state concept to these globalists must be replaced of their power with the power from tax exempt foundations and mega corporations. Some corporations have more power than governments today. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon told the Seattle Times in an interview that they want NGOs, philanthropies, and foundations like the Bill Gates Foundations to have a role in international affairs. The Gates Foundation has infiltrated American educational system. They work with the Obama administration as 4 high ranking officials in the White House came from the Gates Foundation. The Hybrid Age is an age where tax exempt foundations, corporations, and technocrats have huge influence in the society of nations. This age is characterized by the advancements made in technology as well, which can track humans in an authoritarian fashion. In 2010 the Forum for the Future presented a vision of the future in which mega-cities are run by supercomputers and citizens’ lives are tightly controlled. The Forum for the Future is backed by Bank of America, Sony, the City of London Corporation, PepsiCo UK, Time Warner, and Royal Dutch Shell. Each of these entities has representatives at the Bilderberg Group. The elite planned their "Planned-Opolis" for 2040 too. They plan decades in advance (of mega cities, etc.). The use of computer chips to track the environment of cities relate to U City. There is a similar project called New Songdo going on in South Korea. U-cities are places where “…all major information systems (residential, medical, business, governmental and the like) share data, and computers (e.g., RFID, smart cards and sensor-based devices) are built into the houses, streets, bridges and office buildings.” Bill Gates' Microsoft Corporation is playing a role in forming a technology for New Songdo. So, the global elite are pushing the globe to a dystopia future in which all areas of life are ruled by their interests. It doesn't have to be this way. This is the technocratic agenda predicted by Brzezinski back in the early 1970's. A security firm will subject Bilderberg protesters with pat downs.
One of the biggest war crimes made by the U.S. during the Cold War era was the genocide in Guatemala. The former Guatemalan president Efrain Rios Montt has been convicted of genocide. We know that U.S. officials know about the program against the Ixil people in the mountains of Guatemala at the moment when the U.S. government trained and armed the Guatemalan military. Rios Montt led genocide against the Mayan human beings during his 17 month tenure as Guatemala's dictatorship. He was found guilty, because a three judge panel (whose leader is Jazmin Barrios) found that evidence merited it. Evidence was sent to the court that documented that there was a clear and systematic plan to exterminate the Ixil people as a race. This plan was invented and executed by the Montt government. These act merit the definition of genocide. The 86 year old dictator was sentences to 80 years in prison. The conviction of Montt is great for the human beings of Guatemala. This shows that justice and accountability. Human rights abuses are never justified at all. Also, we need to allow members of the U.S. government accountable for funding such a regime that caused this atrocity in the first place. Once, Ronald Reagan called Riot Montt, "a man of great personal integrity and commitment." U.S. officials know that they were fully aware of the pogrom against the Ixil human beings in the mountains of Guatemala (when the U.S. government was involved in training and arming the Guatemalan military). This has been found in declassified U.S. government documents. The U.S. government gave intelligence to its clandestine services, and it gave political including diplomatic support to the government. In the 1980's, the U.S. supported tyrannical regimes in Central America. In the decade of the 1980's, over a 100,000 people lost their lives in in Guatemala, 70,000 in El Salvador and 20,000 in the U.S. destabilization of Nicaragua. Honduras became a staging base for U.S. intervention in the region from Panama to Nicaragua. In the region, there has not only been murder. There have been political leaders disappearing because they want legitimate political change in the area. Accountability is real. We should rejoice in victories, but the war is not finished yet. We still need more justice and an end to any Empire in the world today. We fight against imperialism and any form of bigotry and injustice in the globe. We should never be reactionary. Reactionary thinking has always led into oppression against minorities, women, and other members of the human family. An egalitarian society is what we need. All humans having the same equal rights is the way to go. Like Malcolm X said, once you get older, you see that we need to be concerned about issues internationally not just nationally (because we are all humans, we care about the future, we love our ancient heritage, and we want the best for the world). Radical, immediate revolutionary changes in our land are what are needed without token measures. A full thinking of our situation and action are great things to do.
The jury decision has convicted Kermit Gosnell of many crimes in his murder trial. He was found guilty of first degree murder in 3 of the 4 babies' deaths and involuntary manslaughter in the death of a patient. He was guilty of 1 count of infanticide, 1 count of racketeering, 5 counts of conspiracy, 21 counts of illegal late term abortions (past the 24 week limit in PA), and 211 counts of violating a state law requiring a 24 hour waiting period. Therefore, Gosnell was found guilty of 243 crimes. Kermit Gosnell reaped of he have sown. He received 3 life sentences without parole. He will never hurt women or their babies again. This experience shows the lax regulation of some of these clinics and the brutal mindset that the sanctity of life must be debased still being embraced by some deluded individuals. So, this is a warning to any late term abortionist who violates the law. A lot of babies suffered at the hands of this man. The Wilmington, Delaware Planned Parenthood recently fired their abortionist and suspended surgical abortions. Not out of concern for women’s health, but because 2 nurses quit and went public. They did so because Planned Parenthood wouldn’t do anything to rectify the atrocities inside their abortion mill. Nurses Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich and Joyce Vasikonis said women received a “meat-market style of assembly-line abortions.” The abortionist refused to wear gloves, and the procedure tables were left bloody when used by the next patient. Surgical instruments weren’t cleaned before reuse. State laws requiring parental consent were violated, and untrained staff performed key duties. Since the beginning of the year, 5 women have been rushed to the hospital from the Delaware facility. Mitchell-Werbrich said, “I couldn’t tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was.” These examples are not quality care at all. Douglas Karpen is also another late term abortionist in Houston that makes Kermit Gosnell look milder by comparison. Also, there are scandals in the White House. Many legitimate questions relate to those scandals. Yet, some reactionary Republicans are exploiting these scandals as a means to ignore the real issues of growing jobs, and other matters while Americans suffer. Webster Tarpley made excellent points about the Benghazi scandal (since the CIA had a base there in the area and this scandal omits the fact of the Western elites funding terrorists to fight in Libya and Syria). Tarpley did the great job of exposing the neo-con Victoria Nauland or the State Department spokeswoman. She was responsible for most of the revisions to the original CIA talking points according to Jonathan Karl of ABC News. Tarpley wrote that: "...Victoria Nuland is the wife of Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution, a cofounder of the neocon warmonger pressure group that called itself The Project for a New American Century. In 2012, neocon heavyweight Robert Kagan was identified by Ezra Klein of the Washington Post as the most important foreign policy adviser of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Four years earlier, Robert Kagan had played the same role for Republican nominee John McCain. Victoria Nuland’s father-in-law is Donald Kagan, Yale professor and another signer of the infamous Project for a New American Century..." We can do the math. She is linked to neo cons beyond even Hillary Clinton. So according to the new documents, the main reason, the “penultimate point”, was they needed to prevent congress from knowing the State Department had prior “warnings” (multiple) which they had not paid attention to prior to the attack. In the final analysis, the Benghazi bombing was done by the same al-Qaeda terrorists that the West was funding in Libya and throughout the Earth. Still, the White House is accountable for its errors. The IRS is still wrong to collect unwarranted data on certain political organizations. It was wrong for the IRS to do this in the Bush administration and now in the Obama administration. Also, the call for smaller government and privatization is the same agenda shown under Reagan, Clinton, Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and Obama (or the Washington Consensus). Smaller government is just some excuse for the neoliberal economic elite crowd to control societies. Sometimes, the IMF and the World Bank comes into nations as a means to impose their evil loan policies on them. Many Republicans don't want to get to the bottom of the truth. They want to score political points while refusing to expose the war on terror as a corporate criminal enterprise of the military industrial complex. In Nov. of 2012, largely because of Benghazi, the Obama administration and the State Department launched a new initiative to send troops to 35 different African nations to pave the way for those 45 major corporations and their $3.5 billion investment. They used a FBI informant's anti-Islamic video as a distraction from the real issue. The real issue is that the Benghazi event has been exploited as a means to expand the war on terror in Africa and all over the globe.
The District of Colombia wants to move to force firearms to purchase prohibitively expensive liability insurance. This is an assault against the Bill of Rights and human rights. California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania have also proposed forcing gun owners to buy liability insurance. The Democrat City Council member Mary Cheh proposed the law. It requires residents purchase at least $250,000 in insurance coverage before city government would consider applications to register a firearm. If the law is passed, it will be the first in the country of its kind. Some extremists want to dismantle some if not all of the Second Amendment. No such insurance policy currently exists according to the Washington Times. “We oppose proposals that would mandate gun liability insurance as property-casualty insurance does not and cannot cover intentional criminal behavior,” said Willem O. Rijksen, vice president of public affairs for the American Insurance Association. Not purchasing insurance or allowing a policy to lapse could harm Second Amendment rights in the District of Colombia. The legislation would be retroactive and current gun owners would be mandated to purchase insurance within 30 days. “Conjuring new gun control schemes and further taxing law-abiding residents exercising a constitutional right will not result in a reduction of violent crime in the District. Ensuring that criminals are arrested, prosecuted and punished will,” Andrew Arulanandam, spokesman for the NRA, told the newspaper. “Regrettably, D.C. leaders are focused more on pushing their political and social agendas than on working to keep their residents safe.” A real solution would be targeting gun trafficking, have a culture of gun education, and building up socioeconomic conditions in America.
The new film of the Great Gatsby relates to F. Scott Fitzgerald's book of the same name. The new movie was directed by Baz Luhrman. It was co-written by Luhrmann and Craig Pearce. The movie used much creative designs and imagery. The movie comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby from 1925. I read the book while I was in high school. The story is set in the summer of 1922. This time was during the Roaring Twenties where there was massive growth of wealth among the super wealthy. A carefree attitude was embrace by some Americans. The story is about a young man from the Midwest named Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire in the film) including other characters. Nick sells bonds on Wall Street and lives on a suburban Long Island small house next to a mansion. The mansion is owned by the enigmatic, young millionaire named Jay Gatsby (he is played by Leonardo DiCaprio). Nick has a cousin named Daisy (Carey Mulligan), who is attracted to Gatsby. Daisy has a brutish, philandering husband Tom Buchanan (played by Joel Edgerton). Daisy and Tom live directly across the pay where older money holds sway. The Great Gasby is known for hosting elaborate, lavish parties in New York. Some celebrities and hangers on come. Most of these folks haven't been invited to them. Rumors come about the source of his wealth. Nick becomes a friend of Gatsby. Nick learns that Gatsby wants to go out with Daisy. Gatsby met her when he was a poor young man, a soldier of WWI (5 years earlier in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky). The Gatsby wants Daisy to leave Tom and tell him that she loved him after all of those years. Gatsby made his million via stock fraud and bootlegging with the gangster Meyer Wolfsheim (played by Amitabh Bachchan). Daisy and Gatsby have an affair. Gatsby use money to buy a Long Island mansion. Buchanan has his own mistress named Myrtle Wilson. Tragedies come about in the whole movie. The Buchanans escape unscathed. The novel the Great Gatsby outlines a cautionary tale of the imperfections and greed found in the so-called American dream. Luhrmann doesn't touch much in the excesses of capitalism or the intellectual and social questions of poverty. Artistically, the movie shows images of Long Island and New York decades ago. The graphics of the movie is advanced and sophisticated. Ironically, the Long Island party scenes are set to contemporary popular music. Wolfsheim is based on the famed gangster Arnold Rothstein. The film describes the romance between Gatsby and Daisy. The novel shows Gatsby in love with the way of life of luxury. The novel itself talks about the attack on the decadence and materialism of the rich. The book mentions that: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. …” It is easy to see that the same oligarchs and criminals running America back 90 years ago still run America today. Covertly, the novel criticizes capitalism harming human life. Even F. Scott Fitzgerald called himself a Marxist or socialist. The novel outlines the truth that many who are high in the so called American Dream are filled with emptiness, because luxury and wealth alone never equates into true love. Money and corruption can get in the way of true happiness. Allying with human beings that love you for you and experiencing joy including a true, tranquil happiness are priceless. In our time, Wall Street is having record profits. The stock market is enjoying record highs. Still, we have a stagnant economic reality for the rest of us. There is still a high level of foreclosures in America. We live in a society of some still embracing a materialistic, selfish mentality. What goes around comes around. If you treat folks harshly, then you will sow evil. If you treat human beings justly, then blessings will come about in your life. It is a Universal truth.
