The unholy trinity: collectivism, sovereignty, corruption

Neil Lock

“Know your enemy,” says the old adage of Sun Tzo. And this idea has, of late, been much troubling liberty lovers. We all agree that, from the point of view of freedom, justice, prosperity and peace, the political tone in Western societies today is bad and getting worse. But can we agree on the causes of this malaise, still less work out what to do about it? That’s hard.

It’s become plain that thinking of our enemies’ paradigm as “cultural marxism,” a diagnosis favoured by some on the political right, isn’t correct. Surely, our enemies are aiming to kill our economy, to destroy the liberal legacy of the past, and to divorce people from their cultural roots. But such policies, I think, aren’t so much characteristic of marxists, as of wannabe dictators of any stripe. Besides which, all our enemies need do to refute this diagnosis, is smirk and say “I’m not a marxist.”

Others see part of the problem as a resurgence of puritanism. There’s certainly something in this; for the hatred of pleasure and enjoyment, so characteristic of puritans, is obvious in our enemies. Smokers, alcohol drinkers, fox hunters and car drivers, among many others, know this from experience. But I don’t think this idea gives us anywhere near a full picture.

So, I’ll make my own shot at diagnosing the troubles of our times. I see three main problems in politics today: collectivism, sovereignty and corruption. These are all related. Indeed, they’re so hard to separate that I see them all as aspects of one whole; three in one, and one in three. And so, I dub them the unholy trinity.

I also know the name of the devilhead, the fount of evil from which the others flow. But I’ll come to that a bit later.

Collectivism

Collectivism, per Webster, is: “emphasis on collective rather than individual action or identity.” Encyclopaedia Britannica goes further, saying: “The individual is seen as being subordinate to a social collectivity.”

At its root, collectivism is a failure to have regard for the human being. It sees the individual as existing for the benefit of the collective, not the other way round. So, all too often, collectivism breeds an unreasoning intolerance and hatred of the individual. And it easily leads to victimization; of those different from others, or those who develop their particular talents, or those who just want to live their own lives in their own way. Thus, collectivism destroys any possibility of justice on an individual basis.

Worse, many collectivists see a dichotomy between “public” and “private” activities, and reject the private. It’s almost as if they think, in Orwellian terms: “Public good, private bad.” Thus they come to hate private industry, honest business and earned success.

Furthermore, collectivists often seem to believe that their collective has a will, or even a Grand Purpose; and one which is, conveniently, aligned with their own. So, they like to invent political Great Causes, out of thin air if necessary. And they like to use them as excuses to impose their arbitrary dictates on people. History is littered with examples: communism, fascism, racism (and anti-racism), religious persecutions, nationalism, wealth re-distribution and welfarism, and deep green environmentalism, to name but a few.

As several of these examples show, collectivists are brutally callous, too. When their Great Causes and the policies they spawn harass innocent people, or force them down into poverty, or even murder them in droves, they don’t care. They don’t show any concern at all for the victims of their unjust and burdensome taxes, or of their dislocations of the economy, or of their violations of human rights.

Collectivism is normally characteristic of the political left. But not always. Today’s brouhahaabout immigration, for example, comes mostly from the right. Yet the anti-immigration agenda is a collectivist one, based as it is on counting people as “in” or “out” merely by accidents of race or birth.

And it gets worse. All politics is collectivist! For that word, derived from the ancient Greekpolis, a city, in origin means “the business of the city.” Not, I say, the business of the many individuals who live in that city. But the business of the city as a unit. Aha.

As to democracy… for now, I’ll only say that democracy is collectivist too. For however many individuals there may be in a democracy, it has only one demos. Democracy means power to the collective, not power to individuals.

Sovereignty

Our friend Mr Webster tells us that sovereignty is: “supreme power, especially over a body politic.” The encyclopaedia, this time, is softer in tone, calling it: “the ultimate overseer, or authority, in the decision-making process of the state and in the maintenance of order.”

The idea of sovereignty goes all the way back to a 16th century Frenchman named Jean Bodin. And, when you think about it, it’s a completely mad way to run any society. That any individual, or any group, should be allowed supreme power over all others in a territory isn’t a recipe for freedom, justice or prosperity for anyone else. And as people become more and more discontented with such a system, they will eventually see no option but to overthrow the supreme power by violence – as the English did in 1649. Not to mention Bodin’s own lot, 140 years later.

To give him his due, I don’t think Bodin was really one of the bad guys. For he lived in the time of the Reformation, amid squabbling nobility and bloody religious wars. What he set out to do was to counteract the problems of his day, by justifying an increase in the power of the French king. But the legacy he left us is, to say the least, unfortunate.

In Bodin’s scheme, the sovereign – the king or ruling élite – is fundamentally different from, and superior to, the rest of the population in its territory, the subjects. In particular, the sovereign has moral privileges; rights to do certain things, which others don’t share.

Bodin listed seven privileges of the sovereign: (1) To make laws to bind the subjects. (2) To make war and peace. (3) To appoint the top officials of the state. (4) To be the final court of appeal. (5) To pardon guilty individuals if it so wishes. (6) To issue a currency. (7) To levy taxes and impositions, and to exempt, if it wishes, certain individuals or groups from payment.

Furthermore, the sovereign isn’t bound by the laws it makes. And it isn’t responsible for the consequences of what it does (also known as “the king can do no wrong.”)

And we’re still using Bodin’s system today. Isn’t that crazy? We don’t use 16th century medicine any more, or 16th century technology, or 16th century transport. And we’ve been through the Enlightenment since then, for goodness’ sake! So why are we still using a 16th century political system? Why are we still suffering a system that lets an élite do to us exactly what it wants, with no accountability or come-back? This may, perhaps, have something to do with our malaise.

Surely, we’ve put some bags on the side of this system over time. We’ve tried parliaments that are meant to “represent” us. But they don’t – their members have merely become part of the élite, and so part of the problem. We’ve tried constitutions meant to limit the sovereign’s power. But they haven’t worked. We’ve tried to separate powers between legislative, executive and judiciary. But that hasn’t worked either. We’ve tried ideals of “social contract,” but the élite don’t even try to keep to their side of any bargain. We’ve tried charters and bills of rights and human rights acts. But the ruling élite either simply ignore them, or seek to destroy them.

We’ve even tried to bolt on the rule of law as a bag on the side of the state. But did we get, in John Adams’ words, “government of laws, not of men?” Not a bit of it. What we got, instead, was government of bad legislation made by evil politicians. What we suffer today is exactly what Edmund Burke warned against almost 250 years ago, when he said: “Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.”

Even where they seemed to have some beneficial effects in the short term, none of these bags on the side have done any good in the long term. They’re like putting lipstick on a pig, or a gaily coloured sticking plaster on a haemorrhage.

And then, in recent times, we’ve been graciously (not!) invited to take part in a charade called “democracy.” Each of us gets a chance to vote every so often for which of several lying, thieving criminal gangs, none of them showing even the slightest concern for us human beings, will be given the reins of all but absolute power over us for the next few years.

Has democracy brought the freedom, justice, peace and prosperity we deserve? No; it’s actually made things worse. For, first, it brings opportunities for power to those that want power; that is, to exactly those least suited to be allowed power. Second, it pollutes the mental atmosphere with lies, spin and empty promises. Third, it allows the ruling élite to victimize minorities, and to rob Peter to buy Paul’s vote. And fourth, voting gives the whole charade a veneer of false legitimacy.

It’s worse yet; for democracy divides people from each other. The victims of bad policies feel harshly treated, and become disaffected. They come to view politics and politicians with contempt and loathing. And, slowly but surely, they lose all fellow feeling, not only with the criminal gangs, but also with those that support the criminal gangs by voting for them. Thus, today’s democracy breaks apart the very sense of “we” that gave it legitimacy in the first place. It destroys the social cohesion, the glue which was supposed to keep the democratic political unit together.

The biggest problem I find with sovereignty, though, is that it contradicts the only civilized way to run a political society; the rule of law. For the key feature of the rule of law is moral equality. What is legal, and what is not, must be exactly the same for everyone. Yet the sovereign state claims, for the ruling élite and its functionaries, rights to do things others may not. If you or I extorted money from people like the taxation system does, for example, wouldn’t it be theft or worse? Or if you or I premeditatedly killed an innocent person like Jean Charles de Menezes, wouldn’t it be murder?

And a claim of sovereignty over a territory is a claim of ownership over that territory, and everyone and everything in it. It’s a claim that the subjects, along with all their property, are actually owned by the sovereign; that they are, in essence, its slaves. Today’s élites treat us like slaves, too. For they make bad laws to bind us, while taxing us out of existence, inflating the currencies we depend on, and violating our human rights.

If you doubt that sovereigns claim ownership, consider why states claim a right to erect borders around their territories, and to seek to control movement across those borders. The logic is, that just as an individual has a right to control who enters his property, so does a state have a right to control who enters (or exits) its property. Aha.

A desire for sovereignty – or to use a slightly softer word, authority – has, for centuries, been characteristic of the political right. They’re on top, and they want things to stay that way; that’s why they’re “conservatives.” And they don’t care a damn about anyone else.

Moreover, authoritarians or – if I may coin a word – sovereigntarians are just as brutally callous as collectivists. And the thing they love most of all is war. For war, as Randolph Bourne rightly told us, is the health of the state.

But it isn’t just the right that have a liking for sovereignty. Sovereignty, and the irresponsibility which goes with it, have inspired (if that’s the right word) all the worst mass murderers of the 20th and early 21st century; including Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, George W. Bush and Blair.

Corruption

Corruption, says the dictionary, is: “impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle.” Wikipedia is more succinct, defining “corrupt” as “utterly broken.”

There are many kinds of corruption. The most usual is where officials use their positions of power for personal financial gain. Many people seem to think that such corruption, at least on a large scale, only happens in third world countries. But that’s not so. Remember the House of Commons expenses scandal of a few years back?

Indeed, it’s possible to view receiving tax money, even in exchange for doing a job, as corruption. Though many government employees would object to this, saying: But I earn my living! It’s true, indeed, that the best government workers really do earn every penny they are paid. (Even I have, in the past, taken government money to do defence or NHS work). The problem is that, from the point of view of the individuals who paid the taxes, many such government jobs have costs far greater than any benefits they bring. This is clearly not according to any sane moral principle. It’s corruption, even if some may find that hard to see.

This corruption is even more serious, when we unwillingly finance bureaucrats that actively harm us. For example, when we’re made to pay for rapacious tax bureaucrats, or for goons that intercept our e-mails.

Welfare recipients too, though many of them probably don’t realize it, are embroiled in corruption. They are, in effect, receiving stolen goods.

Now, to take freely offered charity isn’t corrupt. To take an insurance pay-out isn’t corrupt. To take at need from a fund, to which you and others have voluntarily contributed for the purpose of mutual aid in need, isn’t corrupt. But to take, without a by-your-leave or a thank you, money which has been taken against their wills from those who would rather have done something else with it, shows lack of integrity. It’s a corrupt act. And those quite capable of earning their living, but choosing the lazy option of sponging off others, are even more corrupt.

Another form of corruption is crony capitalism. This is where company bosses lobby government to try to get advantages for themselves, or to damage their competitors. Officials are usually more than happy to listen, particularly if the scheme will result in increased tax revenue. I myself am a victim of a scam (IR35) of exactly this type, which – from the evidence I can see – was almost certainly perpetrated by the big software development companies like EDS, with intent to destroy the one-man competitors who took business away from them during the Y2K panic.

Then there is systemic corruption in academe, education and the media. The academics promote collectivist and authoritarian ideas. The teachers teach only what is politically correct. The media – of all political stripes – spout lies, hype, spin, scares, propaganda and emotional manipulation, all designed to keep people under control.

Then there is political corruption. We know that politicians habitually lie and mislead; for example, about carbon dioxide emissions causing catastrophic global warming, or Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. We know that the promises they make are usually empty. And we know that many of them seek power primarily to impose their evil agendas on people they don’t like. Remember the old labour slogan, “Let’s make the rich squeal?”

But there’s also a case that taking any part in politics is corruption. Even voting for a politician or political party is an act of corruption, because it underwrites a corrupt system. (It’s an act of aggression, too. It’s an aggression against all those who have been, are being or will be harmed by the policies of that politician or party).

There’s corruption in government itself, too. In the UK, it’s hard to know how much judicial corruption there is, because the subject isn’t aired. But it’s clearly a big problem in the USA, where many judgments are political, and “judge shopping” has become a common idiom.

Executive corruption is also a big issue. And the symptoms are obvious. Police brutality. Rigorous “law enforcement,” that often looks to be merely for the sake of enforcement. Zealous policing of arbitrary limits, like speed limits and minimum age limits. Routine violations of our privacy, like cameras on street corners and intercepting our e-mails. Bureaucrats that try to behave as judge, jury and executioner. And a culture of seeking to “get” anyone who deviates, even slightly, from the political correctness du jour.

But legislative corruption is perhaps the biggest problem. Almost every “law” made today – certainly in the UK, the EU and the USA, and probably in other Western countries too – is made to satisfy some evil ideological agenda, or to buy votes, or to appease some political pressure group. Moreover, the modern puritans are out in force, baying for more and yet more regulation. So, virtually all legislation made today is bad. If Edmund Burke was brought back to life now, he would have a fit.

The unholy trinity

So, there you have the unholy trinity. Collectivism, sovereignty and corruption; the three faces of the devilhead.

Collectivism is the first of the trinity; the devil’s mother, if you will. I put it first, because historically it came first. For, as the old testament tells us, there were tribes before there were kings. Sovereignty, and the state it spawns, is the second, the mischief maker or the devil’s daughter. And the “unholy spirit” is the name I give to the miasma of corruption, which we see, hear, feel and smell all around us. While each of them tends to be favoured by different factions of our enemies, the three faces of the devilhead work together against us human beings.

In Western societies, not so long ago, there was a fairly clear divide between the political left and right. The left were collectivist, but not so much authoritarian; that’s why they called themselves “liberals.” The right were authoritarian, but not so much into collectivism. So, those who hated collectivism voted for the right. And those, whose pet hates were sovereignty and privilege, supported the left. But in recent decades, the two have converged. If there’s any difference between Blair and Cameron, for example, or Obama and Bush, it’s that one lot are collectivists first and authoritarians second, while the other are authoritarians first and collectivists second. So, today, both “left” and “right” are evil. And to vote for either of them is an act of evil.

I don’t find this convergence surprising. For the ideologies of both left and right are well past their last-use-by dates. There was a time, perhaps, when collectivism may have been a viable way to run a city-state; but the age of city-states is now long gone. And sovereignty may have been a half way reasonable idea in Jean Bodin’s time; but even a quick glance at recent history shows that it has become a Bad Idea.

So, feeling a need to bolster their weakness, both sides have found it convenient to take on the practices of the other as well as their own. It’s easier to foist your collectivism on to people, if you start making strict laws to hem them in, and brutally enforcing those laws. And it’s easier to keep your position as a ruling élite, if you start inventing ruses – like the global warming fraud – designed to, in H.L.Mencken’s words, “keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

And so, collectivism fuels sovereignty, and sovereignty fuels collectivism. Thus does evil beget evil.

They both fuel corruption, too. For, as Lord Acton told us, power tends to corrupt. And power without responsibility – and that’s what, in essence, sovereignty is – corrupts absolutely. On the other hand, collectivists don’t have any idea of individual responsibility; so they don’t feel any shame for what they do, however badly they behave.

The biggest enabler of corruption, though, is taxation. Franz Oppenheimer, a century ago, identified the divide between what he called the economic means and the political means for obtaining satisfaction of needs. Those who use the economic means (work), seek to provide goods or services valuable to others. They seek to do good for others, in return for those others doing good for them. Those that use the political means (robbery), on the other hand, simply take, take, take. They offer nothing in any way valuable to the victims of their larceny.

Not only does taxation take away wealth from productive people, and re-distribute it to the ruling élite and their lackeys and cronies, and to the lazy and the feckless. Not only does it provide the corrupt with the time, resources and social status that enable them to promote their evil Great Causes and to carry out their destructive schemes. But it also encourages perverse incentives, for example where people prefer to claim benefits instead of working, or to work less hard to avoid paying more tax. And these perverse incentives, slowly but surely, cause the miasma of corruption to spread through the population like a horrible disease.

The devilhead

I said earlier that I know the name of the devilhead. I know the name of that which stands in the same relationship to the unholy trinity, as the godhead does to the Christian trinity. That name is… dishonesty.

We can see dishonesty in our enemies at many levels. First, we see it in their failure to appreciate human nature. They don’t see us as individuals. They don’t acknowledge our free will and its consequence, individual responsibility. They don’t acknowledge that human beings are naturally good and honest, and that they themselves are aberrations.

Second, we see it in their disregard for truth and objectivity, and their constant use of lies, deceit and propaganda.

Third, we see it in their disregard for ethical conduct. They fail to behave according to any sane code of civilized behaviour. Instead, they set themselves up on a moral pedestal, and assert for themselves privileges which they deny to others. And they commit, and seek to get away with, real crimes such as theft, harassment, perjury, murder and even incitement to mass murder.

Fourth, we see it in their disregard for sane principles of government and social organization. They fail to uphold objective justice, the condition in which individuals are treated, overall, as they treat others. They pervert the rule of law into the rule of bad legislation. They violate our human rights, and show no concern at all for our freedom.

Fifth, we see it in their choice to use the political means (robbery) of getting their needs satisfied, in preference to the economic means (work). We see it, too, in their desire to suppress economic prosperity, to deny it to those who earn it and deserve it.

But most obviously of all, we see it in their hypocrisy; in their abject failure to practise what they preach. We see it, for example, in those that bleat about energy from fossil fuels causing damage to the planet, yet don’t stop using that energy, or even cut their use of it. Or those that moan that the world is overpopulated, yet have families. Or those that shed crocodile tears for the “poor” and “needy,” yet don’t give away any of their own wealth, or make any sacrifices for those “poor” and “needy.”

So, there you have my diagnosis. The main causes of our troubles today are collectivism, sovereignty and corruption; the unholy trinity. And each of the three faces is an aspect of the devilhead, the deadly disease of dishonesty.

And the cure? That’s for another day. For now, I’ll just say: To hell with the unholy trinity. To hell with collectivism, and with the promoters and supporters of its Great Causes. To hell with sovereignty, with the state and its politics, and with the ruling élites, their lackeys and their cronies. To hell with corruption, and with those that take part in it.

To hell with the devil. To hell with dishonesty. To hell with the dishonest.

Fifteen truths every truther should be aware of.

This is an extract. For the full article, click the link above.

1. The first thing we know is that there are many stooge owned and operated diversionary or compromised websites. These sites use the standard ploy of “limited hangout” where up to 80% or even 90% of the truth is presented, but often accompanied by a bad payload on the most important conclusions or a complete avoidance of some very major issues essential to understand the large international Organized crime Cabal (OCC). This bad payload is designed to lead users away from the important conclusions they may figure out otherwise, thus protecting OCC special interests.

2. The second thing we now know for sure is that despite these sophisticated web intercept operations best referred to as sophisticated Psyops, most users have become so sophisticated and have such a large base of new and basic knowledge of current events and history, they just selectively pick and choose truth nuggets from the bad payload misinformation and overall do a very competent job or selecting truth from misinformation because they have developed an uncanny sense to sense what is a truth nugget because it resonates with their senses.

3. We now know that almost every single story the CMMM broadcasts is either a sophisticated Psyop, a Big Government Lie, or a False-narrative designed to mind-kontrol the American masses by creating a completely false Societal Reality System  (American Group Mind). This American group mind is unfortunately an artificially conditioned reality that supports their much needed illegal, unconstitutional, unprovoked, undeclared, perpetual, un-winnable wars to make big profits for the banks, the defense contractors and those they allow to strip the assets and resources of the war torn countries The American military attacks on behalf of the OCC and Israel.

4. We now know for sure that the Israelis attacked the USS Liberty Ship and attempted to murder all hands on board and sink the ship as a false-flag attack tracking falsely to Egypt in order to sucker America into a war with Egypt on Israel’s behalf.

5. We now know for certain that Israel stole 350 decommissioned W-54 Davy Crockett nuclear pitts out the back door at Pentax in Texas and earlier stole a substantial amount of plutonium, both with the US administrations looking the other way on purpose. And we now know for sure that Israel obtained some large city-buster warheads from S-19 and S-20 Russian missile systems from the Ukraine when the Soviet Union fell in1991.

6. We now know for sure that as soon as Israel acquired the nukes and Dolphin Class German submarines, shipping container delivery systems, high tech cloaking shielding systems, long term storage systems, and deployment systems, they established a “Samson Option” policy of nuclear blackmail. With this Samson Option policy, Israel began to threaten various governments around the world, including the USG, that if they didn’t comply with their wishes and aid packages they would detonate nukes in their major cities as punishment. Seymour Hersch was the first to release this story publicly and since then this has been fully corroborated by very high level Intel Reports leaked into the public domain by Russian intel.

7. We now know for sure that when the Cold War ended because of the incredibly brilliant work of president Reagan’s appointed Secret Agent Lee Wanta, Congress approved a billion dollar line item for a certain Congressional Intel Committee member to buy up any Ukrainian MIRV from S-19 or S-20 Russian systems. This man was supposed to supervise their decommission but instead sold them to Israel and then split the huge billions of USD gains with certain other members of Congress, buying their silence forever, but giving Israel the possession of city-buster sized nukes.

8. We now have rock solid Intel reports that Israel has planted 25 nukes in various American cities and has been threatening to detonate them one at a time, or in series, or even all at once, depending on how much the USG refuses to support Israel and fight its wars or refuses to attack Syria or Iran on Israel’s behalf. This is believed to be a current threat and the problem is that although many of these nukes were apparently stored in various Israeli embassies in the basements, they are known to be shielded with the latest high tech shielding also known as “advanced high-tech cloaking,” making satellite gamma ray detectors and truck mounted drive-by or airplane mounted fly-by gamma ray detectors useless to detect these Israeli controlled and stored devices, because the old detection technology used is now obsolete. There allegedly are new higher tech neutron detectors available, but it is claimed by insiders that they must be held 1,000 feet or even less to the nuke to get a reading and involve the use of very exotic rare earth minerals, not readily available and very expensive.

9. We now know for sure that Israel detonated one nuke at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City working with the FBI and the BATF by deploying a “Sting gone bad” scenario using a special “deep-black” covert Delta Force man Timothy McVeigh, whose execution was faked and he went out the back door on a stretcher alive and breathing normally. It did however cost Shandra Levy her life and “Gary Condom” his position in Congress. Condom got Shandra Levy her job at the Department of Prisons with his position on the House Intelligence Committee and she scheduled McVeigh’s fake execution and knew it was fake because perhaps Condom told her. Her phone was tapped for national security reasons and she was allegedly overheard telling this in confidence to a trusted girlfriend. Both were murdered as an evil precaution and Levys’ murder was done in a way to expose her and Condom’s heavy duty S&M “hobby” and to punish Condom by making sure he would lose his next California election for being implicated and blamed for Shaundra Levy being missing. She was murdered at another location and her remains taken and later dumped at the Park and a Patsy was set up and wrongly blamed. Some insiders believe she and Monica were both either spy-trained or Mind-kontrolled in Israel to serve as skilled honey-traps for top American politicians. If true, both did a pretty darned good job. All Monica had to do was pull up one side of her dress and snap her G-string strap and let President Clinton see her do it while saying, “gee how do you like this Mr. President,” and all Shandra had to do was look beautiful, be okay with S&M and be willing to live with Condom part of the year at his DC second home away from his California home.

10. We now know for sure that 9-11-01 was a nuclear attack on America done by Israeli Intel, ordered by Bibi Netanyahu with the assistance of various Traitors and Israeli-American “Israeli-first” dual citizens, traitors in the JCS, USAF, NORAD, the FAA, the VP, the President and many more USG Officials and even the NYC Mayor and his sidekick.

11. We now know for sure that the Boston Marathon Bombing was a DHS Drill using a weak black powder “puffer bomb”, which caused absolutely NO injuries. A stage actor with a prior amputated leg was used and stage blood packs were ripped open and dropped at the site. It was another staged False-Flag attack with two purposes: the first was to create more subconscious fear in the American Group Mind and use it as an excuse to lock down the city and bust into peoples homes and drag them out at gunpoint with no warrants claiming exigent circumstances. Both men blamed were patsies and the FBI murdered one in cold blood and then made a spectacle of it by running over the man repeatedly with one of their black Suburbans. This was true to type for any Police State and Marcus Wolfe, the former head of the East German Stasi, the one who was hired by the Israeli’s to set up Homeland Security would have been very, very proud if he was still alive.

12. We now know that the Sandy Hook School mass-shooting was completely faked with NO dead Kids, NO dead teachers, NO dead Lanzas and in fact NO Lanzas ever really existed at all. It was a FEMA/DHS Capstone Drill and researchers now have the intel contractors pre-prepared transcript for the operation, which by the way, was very, very poorly done and many mistakes were made which prove the operation was a false-flag with no dead anyone except a few witnesses that started talking later on after the events occurred.

13. We now know that ISIS/Daish is a private mercenary army started by Senator McCain, and Generals McInerney and Vallely and supported by Israel, Saudi Arabia, the American CIA (Bush faction) and others, including the secret Gladio part of NATO which has never stopped being active allegedly (some call Gladio the DVD, like Michael Shrimpton). Many insiders call ISIS/Daish Al Qaeda or Al CIA (version 2). Big American Military weapons and war equipment caches were left behind and unguarded in Iraq to be immediately picked up by Al CIA Duh.

14. We now know for sure that the Internet and cell phones and cell phone systems are the most sophisticated surveillance and spying system ever implemented and have been accepted and are now expected and even demanded by a public which has become so dependent on the conveniences and personal power these devices provide that they willingly submit to this incredible second by second surveillance by American Intel.

15. And finally we now know for certain that the Internet has grabbed the interest of many Americans who have gained a deep interest in truly discovering whether or not public accusations made in the alternative media of the Internet accusing the American Government and its various agencies of having masterminded and committed some of the biggest organized crimes in history like the JFK, MLK, RFK, and Senator Wellstone assassinations. And we know that a significant and growing percentage of these individuals who use Alternative Media News Sites on the Internet now believe #1- 13  above which actually form one big Litmus Test for any Internet User’s ability to extract and believe Internet Truth Nuggets.

Conclusion:

It should now be quite clear  that the Internet is the world’s New Gutenberg press and is truly revolutionary as is the cell phone and its merger with the personal computer. And for the first time in history, we have portable communication that can accompany its owner/user everywhere they go allowing instant access to them. The ramifications, which are occurring right before our eyes, are actually quite astounding and will undoubtedly change many aspects of society. One thing is for sure, the development and popularization of the Internet is a new worldwide springboard for the emergence of populism in almost every nation.

5 Big Signs the Global Engine of Deceit, Lies, and Control are Coming to an End

Source: themindunleashed.org

Marco Torres, Prevent Disease

If you don’t see it coming, you may have been hiding in a very dark place for the last decade. The lies, deceit, fear-mongering and illusions portrayed by elite controlling entities of the world are slowly crumbling right in front of their eyes as the world is awakening. Here are 5 signs that the era of deception and duplicity is coming to an end.

1. PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX HAS BEEN EXPOSED

Perhaps one of the biggest controlling entities of the world is the pharmaceutical industrial complex who has deceived billions for almost two centuries. Their corruption, fabrications and outright deceit has enveloped almost every nation on Earth. In the last decade alone, millions have outcasted drugs and vaccines from their circle of trust. More people are coming to discover that this powerful group of criminals will stop at nothing to sell their snake oil to the public. Over the last several years, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and Novartis — and all other pharmaceutical giants, which once seemed unassailable are slowly drowning. Drug discovery jobs have disappeared by the thousands in the United States and by the hundreds in Europe as the industry has cut costs in order to adjust to what is widely perceived as the end of the blockbuster-drug era.

People are getting it. From the H1N1 scandal to HPV….from Lipitor to Vioxx, the public is catching on that most modern day diseases are man-made to sell us more poison in a vicious cycle which perpetuates until our death. Research is now showing that natural health products are as effective as man-made drugs and for the first time in history, the natural health industry is aiming to amend legislation to allow physicians to include natural health products in their practice–a change that could revolutionize the allopathic treatment model.

2. THE MEDIA IS NO LONGER CAPABLE OF INSTILLING TRUST

Recent polls now show that an overwhelming 80% of the population no longer trusts mainstream newscasts. From the lies and promotion of wars to our health, the mainstream media is incapable of generating any unbiased newsworthy content without corporate or government propaganda. Conan O’Brien easily revealed how mainstream media’s scripted talking points are just a farce. This happens almost everyday on any issue you can imagine, across all networks at any time. The media, as they say “is a joke” branded to program the minds of millions though manipulation and deception. But their dominion and monopoly has been thwarted by the alternative media who are now fully engaged in exposing every lie one at a time….and we are achieving great success.

3. THE CONVENTIONAL FOOD INDUSTRY IS COLLAPSING

By observing the chess match between anti-GMO camps and Monsanto (and their lobbyists), we see a clear indication that big agriculture, biotech and the entire food industry is in turmoil. Trade agreements currently being drafted in developed nations are attempting to secure legislation dictating all GMO labeling as illegal. Resistance against GMOs are being defined as “anti-free trade practices” that governments are attempting to enforce in the form of economic sanctions against nations that attempt to ban GMOs. Labeling initiatives spawned by various groups are being exposed as controlled opposition and the true intentions and transparency of these organizations is inevitable. Food giants are being held accountable for their manufacturing processes, toxic ingredients and lack of credibility.

All of these things are sure signs that the biotech industry is losing control as the entire world is awakening to the dangers of genetically modified foods and the conventional food supply. Technology is coming forward that will soon allow on-the-spot tests for environmental toxins, GMOs, pesticides, food safety and more with their smartphones and other hand-held devices as a defiant public will stop at nothing to regain independence within the food supply.

4. THE FREEDOM MOVEMENT IS GAINING MOMENTUM

De facto foreign administrations of unelected industrialists, financiers, academics, military leaders along with representatives from our elected government officials have been very busy the past century implementing changes into nations who were once sovereign and free. However, they have no real authority to restrict public mobility, free trade or limit access to anything. That means that everybody is free to drive without insurance, driver’s license, license plates, free to trade any articles of exchange including vitamins, supplements, healing modalities and free to consume and ingest anything they wish without restriction. This is a right of all people born on any land, and the movement to educate millions on these issues is rising across the globe. Mass populations are starting to see the reality that there is no longer sovereignty within nations. The people of these nations have lost their ability to write their own laws, avoid arrest, injury and damage from corporations which seek to remove all the freedoms from the people.

The elite societies of the world are now petrified of the awakening of these fundamental human rights. This is the fear of every official who deems their opinion can be enforced over others through artificial laws that don’t hold any weight in the highest courts. We are now declaring those rights more than ever and every beneficiary of the corrupt system is sending the police to insist that we are wrong and they are right. It is about knowing what absolute sovereignty truly is and embracing the power to express that right regardless of anybody else’s interpretation. Police are being held accountable for these injustices and their homes and possessions are being taken from them in the highest courts as the people fight for their rights to be free and will accept no damage by illegal enforcement (the police) in the interim.

5. THE LIBERATION OF NATURE AND ABOLISHMENT OF ALL THINGS TOXIC IS NOW INEVITABLE

More than a dozen U.S. states have now completely decriminalized the act of possessing marijuana and both Colorado and Washington have made it legal to possess, sell, transport and cultivate the plant. But soon it may be legalized across the entire country. That is quite the 180 from the federal government’s tune in 2011 when they decreed that marijuana had no accepted medical use and should remain classified as a highly dangerous drug like heroin. Nobody has the right to criminalize or restrict anybody from possessing a plant or smoking it for that matter. The rights of people to interact with nature are being recognized on all levels and cannabis liberation is a amazing step forward.

The restoration of clean drinking water through the removal of toxic fluoride is another example of how governments can no longer contain their lies, in this case the 60-year old deception of fluoride. Almost the entire world is now coming full circle to the health consequences of poisoning the water supply with fluoride. Most developed nations, including all of Japan and 97% of western Europe, do not fluoridate their water. Israel was recently added to that list. Many communities, over the last few years, stopped fluoridation in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Recently, both Wichita, Kansas and Portland, Oregon rejected fluoridation 60% to 40%. Hamilton, NZ, councilors voted 7-1 to stop 50 years of fluoridation after councilors listened to several days of testimony from those for and against fluoridation. Windsor, Ontario, stopped 51 years of fluoridation. Sixteen regional councils have halted or rejected fluoridation in Queensland since mandatory fluoridation was dropped there in Nov. 2012.

The news is spreading and a renaissance is blooming worldwide. There is no stopping it. The potential war in Syria which has no support from the American public, is a beautiful reminder that people are tuning into their own hearts and wisdom as they come to understand that war will never accomplish anything but create more war.

Get ready my friends because we are headed for an incredible ride as we pave the way for a new consciousness as we rebuild the Earth, take back our power as united and free citizens of this wonderful planet.

Mind-controlled alters documented

SOURCE: JAY'S ANALYSIS, GUEST POST

French film poster for the original Manchurian Candidate.

By: Jay

Discussions about “conspiracy” generally involve a handful of subjects, one of the top five of which is invariably “mind controlled assassins” and the MKULTRA project.  MKULTRA encompassed numerous other projects including dozens of institutions, universities and programs designed to perfect the military (and now domestic) use of various types of psychological manipulation and conditioning intent on creating a Pavlovian slave, able to be programmed into completing various missions.  One of the primary aspects of this strategy involves using both hypnosis and individuals with multiple personalities (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder, now Dissociative Identity Disorder).  While in a trance state, or under various types of psychologically altered states using drugs, the person or personalities can be programmed with various key words used by the handler, and even at times without the individual or the personalities being aware of the events that transpired or the programming itself.

This sounds a bit outlandish to most, but I have unearthed some interesting references.  Deniers and the ignorant harp that while it is well-known that MKULTRA was real, it was nothing but a limited series of experiments that ended with the Church Committee investigations that ended in 1975.  During its inception in the early 1950s and up through the 1970s (and on into today) numerous films have included this theme with a striking accuracy: A Clockwork Orange, The Manchurian Candidate (two films), The Bourne films, Hide and Seek, Bond, Jacob’s Ladder,  The Shining, Identity, The Prisoner, Conspiracy Theory, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Salt, The Avengers (both films of this title), Total Recall (the new one), Hanna, The Mechanic, The Ipcress File, Suckerpunch, Oblivion, and several others.

The names associated with the programs are Dr. Ewen Cameron, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, Dr. Jose Delgado, Dr. Jolyon West, Dr. George Estabrooks, and others.  While this itself is easily tracked down in terms of the existence of the programs, what is lesser known are articles like Dr. George Estabrooks’ article from the April 1971 Science Digest,Hypnosis Comes of Age.  Included in the article are some striking admissions, especially since the OSS, CIA and FBI utilized Estabrooks and his skills.   The article mentions, first of all, Estabrooks’ claim of the use of secret couriers and keywords that function as the triggers in the operative:

“Communication in war is always a headache.  Codes can be broken.  A professional spy may or may not stay bought.  Your own man may have unquestionable loyalty, but his judgment is always open to question.

The “hypnotic courier,” on the other hand, provides a unique solution.  I was involved in preparing many subjects for this work during World War II.  One successful case involved an Army Service Corps Captain whom we’ll call George Smith.

Captain Smith had undergone months of training.  He was an excellent subject but did not realize it.  I had removed from him, by post-hypnotic suggestion, all recollection of ever having been hypnotized.

First I had the Service Corps call the captain to Washington and tell him they needed a report of the mechanical equipment of Division X headquartered in Tokyo.  Smith was ordered to leave by jet next morning, pick up the report and return at once.  Consciously, that was all he knew, and it was the story he gave to his wife and friends.

Babydoll in Suckerpunch undergoes a split in her psyche and is an assassin in her dreamworld (?)

Then I put him under deep hypnosis, and gave him — orally — a vital message to be delivered directly on his arrival in Japan to a certain colonel — let’s say his name was Brown — of military intelligence.  Outside of myself, Colonel Brown was the only person who could hypnotize Captain Smith.  This is “locking.”  I performed it by saying to the hypnotized Captain:  “Until further orders from me, only Colonel Brown and I can hypnotize you.  We will use a signal phrase ‘the moon is clear.’  Whenever you hear this phrase from Brown or myself you will pass instantly into deep hypnosis.”  When Captain Smith re-awakened, he had no conscious memory or what happened in trance.  All that he was aware of was that he must head for Tokyo to pick up a division report.

On arrival there, Smith reported to Brown, who hypnotized him with the signal phrase.  Under hypnosis, Smith delivered my message and received one to bring back.  Awakened, he was given the division report and returned home by jet.  There I hypnotized him once more with the signal phrase, and he spilled off Brown’s answer that had been dutifully tucked away in his unconscious mind.

The system is virtually foolproof.  As exemplified by this case, the information was “locked” in Smith’s unconscious for retrieval by the only two people who knew the combination.  The subject had no conscious memory of what happened, so could not spill the beans.  No one else could hypnotize him even if they might know the signal phrase.”

Jason Bourne is a programmed assassin.

Mind control victims could thus be placed in key positions with encoded information.  But it gets more sinister: Estabrooks goes on to discuss the MPD/DID alter that could be programmed through a split in the psyche, while the other personality would have now knowledge.  Estabrooks writes:

“The potential for military intelligence has been nightmarish.  During World War II, I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I’ll call Jones.  Under the watchful eye of Marine Intelligence I spilt his personality into Jones A and Jones B.  Jones A, once a “normal” working Marine, became entirely different.  He talked communist doctrine and meant it.  He was welcomed enthusiastically by communist cells, was deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps (which was in on the plot) and became a car-carrying party member.

The joker was Jones B, the second personality, formerly apparent in the conscious Marine.  Under hypnosis, this Jones had been carefully coached by suggestion.  Jones B was the deeper personality, knew all the thoughts of Jones A, was a loyal American, and was “imprinted” to say nothing during conscious phases.

All I had to do was hypnotize the whole man, get in touch with Jones B, the loyal American, and I had a pipeline straight into the Communist camp.  It worked beautifully for months with this subject, but the technique backfired.  While there was no way for an enemy to expose Jones’ dual personality, they suspected it and played the same trick on us later.”

It’s important to remember that it is not just the US that was engaged in these studies: they were done at Tavistock in England, as well as by the Nazis and Soviets.  The creation of mind-controlled assassins is not relegated to one “side.”  In fact, one can trace the use of such basic mind control techniques back to ancient shamans and priests.  Of particular note here are the South American and Mexican City peoples which actively used hallucinogens in their native rituals.  Priests and shamans are documented using these techniques to manipulate the masses into the belief that they possessed godlike powers, and still do today.  While even that may be known, what I find most striking by those who deny such ideas as Estabrooks describes is that defenders of the status quo often cite “mainstream” sources as a refutation of such ideas.  Deniers can ponder this long and hard, since the DSMV, the so-called authoritative book on disorders itself cites Dr. Estabrooks’ above article on pg 814.

U.S. Postal Service ‘mail imaging’ program used for law enforcement, surveillance

Source: policestateusa.com

The U.S. Postal Service runs a massive dragnet surveillance program of all the mail in the United States; enabling law enforcement to generate profiles of associations and contacts of every American.

Two key programs play a role in the surveillance. The first is called “Mail Imaging.” As the name suggests, the program involves taking a digital photograph of every piece of physical mail that crosses through the USPS. The images provide a permanent record of the source and destination addresses posted on all packages and letters in the country.

The scope of the program is absolutely huge. The New York Times reported that about 160 billion pieces of mail were scanned in 2012.

Ostensibly, the Mail Imaging program is used to sort mail. However, law enforcement agencies are regularly granted access to this data without even the requirement of obtaining a warrant. The massive trove of data can be used to profile individuals and gather intelligence on their private lives. For example, the government can glean who the individual corresponds with; who the individual does business with; who sends the individual birthday cards; who sends the individual monthly bills; who the individual contracts for legal services.

A second program, called the Mail Isolation Control and Tracking (MICT) program is engaged when there is special interest in a targeted individual. Reportedly, the program allows law enforcement to “track or investigate” the contents of mail connected to specific people.

An audit performed by the USPS Office of the Inspector General concluded that few safeguards (not warrants) that exist were not faithfully applied to the program. As often as 20% of the law enforcement surveillance requests were not properly approved, the audit revealed. The lax system was recently described in a report by Politico:

Meanwhile, some of the safeguards set up to catch these shortcomings were missing: The Postal Service wasn’t regularly conducting the annual reviews required by federal rules.

While many Americans have abandoned so-called snail mail for most of their communications, the auditors found the Post Office issued 49,000 mail cover orders in the past fiscal year. And postal workers were often slow to stop recording and sending data on mail even after those orders expired: The audit found 928 covers considered “active” even though the orders for them had expired.

“There are a lot of mail covers, but they don’t seem to be very careful about following their own rules,” said Kate Martin of the Center for National Security Studies.

The mail imaging and surveillance program was secretly established in 2001 and not publicly revealed for over a decade. The extents of the surveillance are still not fully known, because anything considered to be related to “national security” is evidently held secret and not subject to FOIA disclosure requests. The Times elaborated:

The mail cover surveillance requests cut across all levels of government — from global intelligence investigations by the United States Army Criminal Investigations Command, which requested 500 mail covers from 2001 through 2012, to state-level criminal inquiries by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which requested 69 mail covers in the same period. The Department of Veterans Affairs requested 305, and the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security asked for 256. The information was provided to The Times under the Freedom of Information request.

Postal officials did not say how many requests came from agencies in charge of national security — including the F.B.I., the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection — because release of the information, wrote Kimberly Williams, a public records analyst for the Postal Inspection Service, “would reveal techniques and procedures for law enforcement or prosecutions.”

The secrecy behind the activities of key federal agencies is disconcerting. Traditionally, warrants were required to physically open mail, but that check and balance has been eroded during the rise of the War on Terror. President George W. Bush asserted in a signing statement on the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act on December 20, 2006, that authorities had the power to conduct “physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection.”

It is unknown to what extent the federal government is opening mail for intelligence collection, because the courts have broadly allowed government secrecy on national security issues.

The various mail surveillance programs employed by the USPS and law enforcement agencies leaves us with the conclusion that privacy in the mail is tenuous at best. The massive dragnet holds similarities to that of the NSA in its effort to track the digital and telephone communications of every American.
