Eleven years ago today terrorists killed 52 Londoners and injured more than 700 others in four coordinated bombings. Britains will remember, if Americans have forgotten.

A few thoughts:

These attacks were carried out by al-CIA-da, back around the time ISIS was first being formulated as a supplement or replacement organization. The event had many marks of a psuedo-false flag, if not the real thing. Either way, it only served and furthered the globalists’ agenda. More wars abroad and more terror-prone “refugees” coming to the UK. This was recalled by more than a few voters in the BREXIT referendum.

The recent airport massacre in turkey allegedly (forgot about that already, ‘Merica?) revealed ISIS is using enhanced, “special forces” tactics and reconnaissance. But, so did the 7/7 bombers. Their’s was a very sophisticated operation too. Just like 9/11. Just like the 1993 WTC bombing. The tactics have been enhanced for a long time. Almost as enhanced as the agenda.

Telegraph.

BREXIT was only a start to reclaiming Britain for the British. One wonders if the spirit will spread across the Atlantic.

Homage to the Ancients: Afflictions and Inspirations

Maybe I’ve spent too much time recently on the evils of Islamic terrorism (yes, ISIS struck again in Saudi Arabia at the end of Ramadan). It is what it is; and I see it as two ancient evils combining to wreak havoc. One the one hand, the terrorists themselves are desperately trying to carry on a 1,400 year-old war about a cousin and a brother-in-law or some such stupidity. On the other hand, the governments of the West are doing what governments have done since the institution was invented – meddling for power’s sake. Both of these traditions have gotten really old; one would think people would have had more than enough by now. They haven’t. There’s something about ancient traditions, even the bad ones, that keep us coming back.

Traditionally people the world over have lived in little tribes, marked by readily identifiable characteristics – geographical, ethnic, religious similarities. Frequently, the little tribes would war with their neighbors. These wars are often the basis for reported history, as if human beings have nothing better to do than to kill each other. I remember reading Jacques Barzun’s From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life, 1500 to the Present some years ago and being surprised the old man didn’t concentrate exclusively on martial conflict throughout his sweeping narrative of the rise and todder of the modern West.

The end of the modern West (as we knew it) are interesting times. There seems to be a mad rush to intermingle many if not all of those little warring tribes together within the societies of modern, civilized nations. This could have never sounded like a good idea to the sane but there have been a multitude of reasons and excuses given for doing so. Lately, the organizers are dropping their pretexts – “we’re just doing it, damn it!” In fact, they seem to be on the cusp of revealing a dark, sinister truth behind their endeavors – the outright genocide of white, European peoples, maybe. Some are already shouting this but they are, as yet, radicals not confirmed by the mainline lunatics. None of this will end well.

Tribes imported from the third world are praised for their savagery towards the native hosts. Of course, it can’t be called savagery – that would be racist. Just praise them and let them loot, rape, kill, and burn at will. The natives are told they are inherently evil. It is implied that they deserve to be looted, raped, killed, and burned. But, that is not racist.

One could easily look at history for direction in the future and see a war brewing. A lot of the white folks are not buying their own extermination, just because. A lot of them are armed – many heavily. A lot of them are beginning to itch for a fight. Lest the fools forget, no one has ever done war like the West. Also, history shows over and over that this type of ethnomasochism has occurred before. It never ends that well for either side, especially for the invaders. If it comes to blows this time perhaps we should, after the canon smoke clears, take account of who initiated the pogrom …er… program. Perhaps those instigators deserve special retribution.

Yet, through all this, hope shines on – and is tied to other ancient traditions to boot.

Early this morning the West, despite all the inherent evils, celebrated another milestone of civilized progress. While lesser men blew themselves up and beheaded each other over “disrespect” and other bullsh!t, the Men of the West successfully orbited another spacecraft around the planet Jupiter.

Little Juno the science probe arrived at the fifth planet in the wee hours to begin a years-long mission to record magnetic, mass, gravitational, weather, and other information about the gas giant. I wrote another because the probe Galileo did a similar job over twenty years ago.

Juno will scan deep into the swirling clouds of Jupiter, tracking wind and weather phenomenon. Think of it as an interstellar political science project – observing the hot air and wind of a gas-bag. Therein lies the ancient connection: Jupiter (the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Zeus) was the king of the gods. To conceal his identity and motives he wore about him a cloak of clouds through which none could see. Except Juno, his wife (Hera), could see through the clouds; she alone could fathom Jupiter’s demeanor. Modern science imitates ancient art.

The moral of this story, great people, is that even as we fight off the hoards and hounds of Hades, we advance. There is great hope for the future.

Incompetence From Our “JV Team”

Hussein Obama, ever one of intrinsic flippancy, once remarked that ISIS was merely a “JV team” in terms of war-making and of being dangerous. I can’t recall if he said that while playing golf or from a vacation.

The terrorists who shot up and bombed the airport in Istanbul yesterday operated with the planing and efficiency of a special forces team.

A three-part attack beginning with a diversion is a new level of sophistication. That should scare the U.S. and Europe.

Three months after attacking Brussels airport, terrorists have shown in the attack on Istanbul’s international airport an alarming ability to stay one move ahead of the defenses put in place to stop them—an agility in planning that could present a new and serious threat to airports in the U.S.

Most experts agree that the Istanbul atrocity has the hallmarks of ISIS. Even then, the sophistication of how the attack was carried out has surprised them.

It was carried out in a way that suggests the kind of advance intelligence, careful study of a target, and cool execution that would normally be practised by Western special forces.

U.S. officials are showing some concern about the JV team but they’re showing it in Obama’s patented Neverland fashion.

CIA Director John Brennan said that the suicide bombings in Istanbul, Turkey bore the signs of ISIS and should serve as a warning to Americans that the terrorist group is aiming to carry out similar attacks in the U.S.

“I’d be surprised if [ISIS] is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the United States,” Brennan told Yahoo News Tuesday evening.

…

He said ISIS has so far been unable to attack the U.S. directly because of effective homeland security and intelligence measures, but warned that the militants would continue their attempts to infiltrate American defenses.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper raised similar concerns last month. He told CNN in May that ISIS has the capability to conduct a large-scale Paris-style attack in the U.S.

They haven’t yet but they have the capacity… What was Orlando? JV practice? What happened at the Amarillo Wal-Mart? Who attacked Trump supporters in California? What about San Bernardino? Boston? Am I just imagining that these things happened? Or, are these people blind?

They don’t understand ISIS, a thing they created. ISIS doesn’t need to operate like a traditional state or army; it can call on radical cells and individuals as needed. They don’t consider ISIS a threat even as it rapidly captures territory in multiple countries. They warn about possible future attacks as we are attacked every week. All the while, they stir the mix of terrorism in the Middle East and continue to import enormous numbers of radicals.

Our government is behaving like a JV team. That, or they’re trying to throw the game.

What is Gun Control?

Gun control…

For some it’s about taking advantage of tragedy and belittling those they hate. I almost didn’t include this first story due to the inherently bigotry and low-brow “journalism” behind it. Still, here it is. A woman in Texas, a self-described Second Amendment proponent and gun owner, committed an atrocious crime (the facts of which I don’t have and don’t want) – she apparently murdered her own daughters after an argument. The woman was also shot and killed by the police. Three women dead for no good reason – terrible.

Enter Helen Thompson writing on American News X. Thompson offered up an assessment of the crime in terms both racist and anti-Christian.

Too bad for Christian Christy Byrd Sheats two daughter’s, 17 and 22, Sheats had a gun with which to “protect her family.” That gun was used to gun down both girls in the street after a family argument.

Sheats was then killed by police after refusing to drop her weapon, literally bringing home the insanity of the famed phrase “from my cold, dead, hands.”

Note the immediate description of the shooter as a Christian. Would Thompson dare describe a Muslim terrorist as a Muslim terrorist? I think not. I did a quick Googling of “Helen Thompson” and “Muslim” and the first thing I saw was Thompson berating Donald Trump for trying to “initiate a Muslim witch hunt”. I guess witch hunts aren’t even for witches anymore – just Christians.

Thompson continues:

This woman appears to be the poster child of white, GOP America. She praised her religion, loved veterans and country music, praised Ronnie Reagan and George W., and loved her guns. She was a Texas resident, originally from Alabama. This woman literally reeked of right wing Americana — of normal, gun-loving life. She loved her grandmother, had been bitten by a black widow, and basically, seemed to love life and her children.

The white America. Would Thompson ever write about one of the thousands of murders committed by blacks each year (47% of total murders vs. 10% of the population)? No. It’s just a white, Christian, all-American kind of thing. Y’all wouldn’t understand.

Thompson didn’t even call for more gun control beyond her ridicule. “No good guy with a gun stopped this senseless murder by a ‘good guy’ with a gun,” she ranted – what a tired, worn, anecdotal, and worthless “argument”. If not even true in this case – the police officer “good guy” used a gun to stop the white, Christian bad gal.

Maybe some of the problems the left has with guns in America comes more from a hatred of America and its people than from a hatred of guns. These cretins, seething in their hatred, want the government to disarm all the white Christians – and everyone else of decent persuasion.

I have no use for the government at all. Some people on “my side” do. Droves of my friends boast about obtaining their concealed carry permits. Actress Kelly McGillis just joined the ranks of the permitted carriers following an attack at her North Carolina home.

I like that they have armed themselves in a world seemingly gone mad but I do not like the way they have done it. Why a permit from the state? I know it’s the law in most places. I understand that. Most people who get the permits are law-abiding. It’s a law that shouldn’t be abided by – or exist. Why should there be permits for the exercise of the right to carry anyway? Rights do not require permission slips.

I sympathize with and applaud Mrs. McGillis’s decision to arm and defend herself. I found it odd though that she took the measure following a home invasion. North Carolina does not require a permit of any kind to defend oneself at one’s home. I realize she obviously wants protection outside her house too. Thus the permit. And, thus, my problem.

Running to the government for permission to protect one’s life is little different in my mind to running to the government to prohibit others from protecting themselves. Either way, the government is not the answer. Usually, it’s the problem.

In a sense everyone wants reasonable “gun control”. Some, like Thompson, would have the state “control” guns by banning them from white, Christian hands at least. Gun owners generally favor the responsible, personal “control” of the individual firearm. If, to them, that means acquiescing to a state law, then they do it. Either way it’s the state, the state, the state. How about some gun control for the state itself?

In addition to regulating firearms, the government has a long history of widely distributing them, usually with terrible consequences. Most of government works like that – they find a small problem and come up with a solution that creates a bigger problem. I suppose it justifies their existence. I don’t see the need.

A few years ago the ATF was caught red-handed selling and then giving guns to Mexican drug cartels and to criminals. Some of those guns came back, fast and furious, and were used to kill Americans. The ATF isn’t alone. They are novices compared to the CIA. The “intelligence” agency has taken to giving arms to Syrian “rebels”. Many of those weapons were stolen and ended up on the black market – gun show of choice for terrorists. And, you guessed it, some of those arms have killed Americans. By arming one side (maybe more) of this conflict which does not concern the U.S. the government helps generate more angry “refugees” who then migrate to the West for various purposes – some for aid and reflief, others for revenge and crime. Little problem, “solution”, bigger problems.

Government agent Joe Biden oversees “gun control” while exploiting “loopholes” at a Jordanian gun show. NYT.

The left tries to scare people with stories of white, Christian Americans wielding automatic assault rifles and rocket launchers. They want the government to do something about it despite the fact it isn’t a problem. The government does do something! It supplies “Kalashnikov assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades” to rebels and then to the black market and to terrorists. Nice, huh?

Another of the left’s arguments for more government control is that the firearms available when the Second Amendment was ratified were flintlocks and thus those are the only ones the people are entitled to keep and bear. By that logic, shouldn’t the CIA be running muskets and not rocket launchers? Maybe people like Thompson should limit their writing to quill pens. All beside the point.

How about less government for a change? How about limiting or banning the state’s use of firearms (and rockets and grenades)? Might that make for a safer society? As is, they give us freedom control, crime, war, mindless intervention, black markets, and terrorism; all that in addition to rules, regulations, taxes, inflation, oppression, etc. More government, more crime. Why have it or its controls?

Most Wolves Run in Packs

Hussein Obama and the American government are saying over and over that Omar Marteen was a “lone wolf” and a home-grown menace. Their blind narrative helps deflect suspicion of a false flag, lessens scrutiny on their wars and mad immigration policies, and give them a shot (pun) at gun control for the masses. The narrative is dead wrong. It is a myth.

President Obama says don’t worry, the Orlando terrorist was just another “lone actor” operating in isolation, unconnected to any larger group of supporters. In fact, these so-called “lone wolves” are running in packs, and suggesting otherwise gives the public a false sense of security.

Yet Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson echoed Obama, saying Omar Mateen was “self-radicalized” without any religious, ideological or operational support from friends, family or others in the Muslim community.

“What we do know at this point is it appears this was a case of self-radicalization,” Johnson said. “He does not appear to have been part of any group.”

A more accurate picture is that Mateen, an Afghan-American, was part of a disturbingly large Muslim family of sympathizers, supporters and even co-conspirators.

This doesn’t even begin to cover the possibility of government conspirators or sympathizers but it is a great refutation of the simplistic stupidity coming from the Department of Homeland Theater and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. They’re plan is to keep importing radicals. They all must be stopped.

Gun Control: The Great Divide (Over Nothing)

Mass shootings, terror attacks, and assassinations always prompt a heated national “discussion” on the matter of firearms and firearms control (the private ones, mind you). As with any important issue there are many competing ideas and angles though there are two predominant groups that get attention – pro-gun control and anti-gun control. While I am solidly in favor of the private ownership and use of firearms, my anarchist disposition gives me a unique, almost outside view.

As I see the current debate one side, the gun controllers, really want a complete ban on all private firearms though they present their ideology in terms of “responsible”, incremental measures designed only to ensure safety. The other side, the NRA side, nominally defends the Second Amendment while agreeing to many of the same incremental controls sought by the other side. I see both groups ultimately seeking to use the power of government to advance their own agendas and the agenda and existence of the government itself. They are both allied with the state. I have no use for any of them.

Some of the gun grabbers are blatant about their ultimate aim – Rolling Stone called for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Other grabbers pretend to agree that individuals have the right to keep and bear arms while insisting that those arms never be used for defensive purposes.

The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights. In addition, one’s mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm.

The author of this insane Huffington Post statement wants to alter, rather than abolish, the 2A in order to nullify it. The author takes into account only those relatively few crimes committed and lives lost to the illegal use of guns. Considered in totality, privately owned guns save far more lives every day and every year than they take. Then again, by this man’s standards, each such lawful defensive usage constitutes a deprivation of the original aggressor’s right.

The only thing I can think of to attempt to justify this kind of logic is that this fellow obviously worships the government as a god and regards laws as a religion. Like a Natural Law theorist, he seeks to conform all positive law to the designs of and the adoration of his god. He would happily place the primacy of the state over the lives of human beings. He is a statist’s statist. Some on the other side do a good job of refuting this nonsense:

We have a government here that is heedless of its obligation to protect our freedoms. We have a government that, in its lust to have us reliant upon it, has created areas in the U.S. where innocent folks living their lives in freedom are made defenseless prey to monsters—as vulnerable as fish in a barrel. And we have mass killings of defenseless innocents—over and over and over again.

How dumb are these politicians who want to remove the right to self-defense? There are thousands of crazies in the U.S. who are filled with hate—whether motivated by politics, self-loathing, religion, or fear. If they want to kill, they will find a way to do so. The only way to stop them is by superior firepower. Disarming their law-abiding victims not only violates the natural law and the Constitution but also is contrary to all reason.

All these mass killings have the same ending: The killer stops only when he is killed. But that requires someone else with a gun to be there. Shouldn’t that be sooner rather than later?

The NRA is the poster child of the pro-Second Amendment movement. They are vilified by the New York Times:

What makes the legislative inaction all the more maddening is that there is general public agreement in favor of attempts like these to reduce the bloodshed. An overwhelming majority of Americans — including gun owners and even N.R.A. members — support universal background checks, while strong majorities want to block sales to suspected terrorists and ban high-capacity magazines.

And yet the N.R.A. rejects these steps, even though it says that terrorists shouldn’t be able to get guns. Instead, it clings to the absurd fantasy that a heavily-armed populace is the best way to keep Americans safe. That failed in Orlando, where an armed security guard was on the scene but could not stop the slaughter.

There is no truth to any of this dribble from the fallen Gray Lady. The worst of the lies is that the NRA is complicit with terrorism and that it blocks those “common sense” gun control measures. It does not. The NRA seems more than happy with the bulk of the existing gun control measure – all of them unconstitutional. While the NRA backs lawsuits to overturn various local measures, they roundly accept the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act. Both of these laws treat all Americans like criminals and bar the easy or economical possession of the type of weapons actually protected by the Second Amendment.

The NRA also agrees with the opposition regarding the expansion of watch lists – to exclude terrorists from the gun pool of course, and no more… Their own words on the matter:

Fairfax, Va.— The executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, Chris W. Cox, released the following statement regarding terror watchlists:

We are happy to meet with Donald Trump. The NRA’s position on this issue has not changed. The NRA believes that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms, period. Anyone on a terror watchlist who tries to buy a gun should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing. If an investigation uncovers evidence of terrorist activity or involvement, the government should be allowed to immediately go to court, block the sale, and arrest the terrorist. At the same time, due process protections should be put in place that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watchlist to be removed. That has been the position of Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.) and a majority of the U.S. Senate. Sadly, President Obama and his allies would prefer to play politics with this issue.

This statement places the NRA (and Donald Trump by association) in the same position regarding gun control as Senate Democrats and the Obama administration – though the Executive seems a little at odds with itself as to how the proposed list measures would be (will be) implemented. Proposals to expand the “no-fly” list to cover firearms purchases has even drawn the ire of the ACLU as the list procedures (as they exists and as proposed) violate fundamental due process.

The NRA, Donald Trump, Hussein Obama, and their friends are all wrong. There is no due process at all concerning these controls. The new Senate proposal, S.551, mentions due process protection and then negates it in the same paragraph.

The government really has no dog in this fight as it is the primary creator and enabler of terrorism today. If not for the unceasing meddling and misadventure of the state there wouldn’t be any terrorists in our nation to worry about and no need for any lists nor for gun control.

A former CIA agent admits the government and the elites are the problem:

A former CIA counterterrorism agent has said it is time to talk about why terrorism really happens, and to address the “misguided narratives” that lead to oversimplification of the situation and continued war.

Amaryllis Fox worked on counterterrorism and intelligence in the CIA’s clandestine service for ten years. She told AJ+ that the beliefs surrounding terrorism are “stories manufactured by a really small number of people on both sides, who amass a great deal of power and wealth by convincing the rest of use to keep killing each other.”

Fox says the current conversation about Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the US “is more oversimplified than ever.”

“Ask most Americans whether ISIS poses an existential threat to this country and they’ll say yes. That’s where the conversation stops,” she said.

Her observation echo what H.L. Mencken said about the government’s imaginary hobgoblins a century ago. Hitler concurred that terrorism (real or manufactured) is the best way to keep people panicked and, therefore, controlled. Gun control is about people control. Terrorism, war, and government in general are about creating and maintaining power for a few. It’s that simple. That’s what they’re working towards.

And, they are working hard. After Washington stirs up an already volatile region in begins to import the angered locals into America. Some really are hapless refugees. Others are terrorists – as the CIA admits. Oddly … or not, many of the recent notable terror suspects in America have had some ties to the CIA. This should raise serious questions and red flags about the state’s motives and how those motives negatively affect the rest of us – but it doesn’t. The bulk of the discussion put forward by either side of the political divide or by the government itself is: what else can the government do?

What they are doing is just more of the same. The people keep seeing their freedoms chipped away. The elites keep amassing power. The useless laws grow. The attacks, foreign and domestic, continue. They unvetted “refugees” keep pouring in – over 400 from Syria alone – since the Battle of Orlando this past weekend.

The horror and the comedy of the divide is how pointless it all is. Until the ridiculous, blasphemous, and hellish cult of government is dealt with, none of it matters.

And Now We Come To It: Gun Control 2016

I’m ready to declare that the Battle of Orlando was and was not a false flag operation. It was not because, as I have explained time and time again, there exists a perpetual-motion machine of a system designed to wreak havoc on the American people so as to benefit the governing class. This attack was in perfect keeping with the system: lies; wars with non-enemies; importation of the now real enemy; crisis; “solution”. No secret squirrels were needed to rig this event; the system allowed it to happen “naturally”.

For the same reasons Orlando was definitely a false flag. Omar, a freelance agent for ISIS, acted as a de facto agent of the Imperial government. The government is now set to reap all of the benefits of a traditional mendacity. The benefits for them are several. Us? We just get death and destruction.

beforeitsnews.com

One of the two popular camps of liars is beating the drum for strength, for retaliation, for law and order – for more war and control. Both camps of scoundrels are making nebulous promises of safety at the expense of liberty – all from problems they created. (Kind of like mafia insurance.) Both camps mean safety through more control. That other camp means to disarm the free people, the victims of the whole affair; they mean to exact total control over the population. Right now I’m writing about the latter group.

Today that group, commonly known as “the left”, went into overdrive in the quest for gun control. Gun control is the wet dream of government. It is the final plank missing from the perfection of Karl Marx’s manifesto in America. It, should it come to pass, would remove the last check against total tyranny. If the Second Amendment and the natural right of self-defense and preservation goes, so goes all other rights, privileges, apple pies, and all else American.

Jeh Johnson, Secretary of the utterly useless Department of Homeland Security, today went off the deep end: “‘We have to face the fact that meaningful gun control has to be a part of homeland security,’ Johnson said in an interview on CBS This Morning. ‘We need to do something to minimize the opportunity for terrorists to get a gun in this country.'” Jeh Johnson: Gun control is now a matter of homeland security, Rebecca Shabad, CBS News, June 14, 2016.

Why are there terrorists in this country in the first place, Mr. Secretary? They couldn’t get guns in this country if they were not here. Why did you lose track of nearly half a million illegal invaders just last year? Why didn’t you do something about the known terrorist Omar Marteen before he acted? Omar was investigated or interviewed two or times since 2013. He was the son of a CIA asset knee-deep in the Empire’s Afghan mess. He was a known conspirator of a radical Islamic sect in Florida. He was a known hot head and nut-job. None of this mattered?

Oh, yes – the plan… The system and the false false flag had to happen to advance the agenda. Hillary Clinton’s State Department had the Mosque investigation shut down for political reasons. Omar’s papa was important for some reason. It all had to go forward to help make gun control (which history shows is only people control) a part of homeland security (which history shows doesn’t exist). Brilliant. Omar, ISIS’s “Lion of the Caliphate“, might just as well be the Lion of Empire.

Johnson and Hussein Obama are pushing S.551 for a start – only for a start. It’s only common sense to prevent known terrorists from obtaining weapons, right? I ask, if they’re known, why do they walk free? And who thinks this will be limited to just terrorists? Government laws and programs grow like cancer – which they are. If this bill becomes law, you and I will become terrorists.

The lunatics over at Rolling Stone, as honest and accurate a publication as could possibly be, took it from the deep end straight down the drain. RS contributor and alleged law professor, David S. Cohen, wrote unequivocally: “The Second Amendment must be repealed.” Cohen rambled through the pitiful and well-worn “out of date” argument:

In the face of yet another mass shooting, now is the time to acknowledge a profound but obvious truth – the Second Amendment is wrong for this country and needs to be jettisoned. We can do that through a Constitutional amendment. It’s been done before (when the Twenty-First Amendment repealed prohibition in the Eighteenth), and it must be done now.

The Second Amendment needs to be repealed because it is outdated, a threat to liberty and a suicide pact. When the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, there were no weapons remotely like the AR-15 assault rifle and many of the advances of modern weaponry were long from being invented or popularized.

Liberals now resort to that one full-time following the Heller case wherein their “collective rights” bullshit was blown to pieces. Interestingly, when the 2A was a state “right” they had no problem with it; now that it is indisputably a personal right, it has to go. This line of hysteria and misinformation isn’t worth responding to. It is plain what these cretin communists want. They want the free people enslaved. They hate people.

I hate them right back. You should too. I now have three points in my terrorism elimination proposal:

  1. STOP THE WARS/NO MORE INTERVENTIONS;
  2. KICK OUT THE TERRORISTS; and
  3. ELIMINATE (with extreme prejudice) THOSE WHO CAUSED THIS NIGHTMARE AND WHO WOULD CONTINUE OUR MISERY.

The “New Reality” Isn’t

Day to day life in America is pretty darned good – provided you’re in the right place at the right time. This assessment generally describes ordinary living on an individual basis. On a macro level – considering all the wrong places and wrong times – American life is becoming a race to the bottom. The bottom always seems just a little deeper with every passing relay.

As an aside, it’s not just an American problem. The June jihad continued yesterday in France.

Forty-nine innocent people were murdered by a psychotic savage this weekend in another milestone in the race. These victims are the latest in a huge line of people getting the short in of every stick imaginable.

The nation is decades into an idiotic worldwide campaign to meddle in each and every affair the world over whether they concern us or not (usually they do not). At the same time untold numbers of people displaced by the meddling and angered accordingly are brought to the U.S. where they increasingly seek revenge on the West (nightclubs, political rallies, etc.). After each attack these crazed programs are renewed with zeal while, simultaneously, freedoms and normal life for normal people are curtailed. For those who survive the attacks, that is.

So it is and will be with the Battle of Orlando. The government angers Muslims. The government imports angry Muslim to America. The Muslims shoot Americans. The government schemes to disarm Americans. It’s almost like a plan. An evil plan. They’re not just after your guns either. They want to completely change your way of life.

Citizens are now subject to measures formerly reserved for prison inmates everywhere they go – metal detectors, police dogs, police armed with sub-machine guns, random searches in public, etc. The new normal is insane. It gets worse with every attack, every battle – 9/11 should have been the wake up call of all wake up calls but it wasn’t. It was just a big chapter in the cycle.

9/11 is still plagued by unanswered questions. Orlando is no different. See: here and here for starters. (Some of these authors’ questions have already been explained; others likely never will). Some aspects of this attack and others like it are explained too fast, too conveniently. After most mass attacks the FBI immediately seems to know way too much about the perpetrator(s). It seems like part of a script. All of this helps perpetuate the cycle of government lunacy.

One thing we consistently miss these days is peace. A think-tank in Australia produces a Global Peace Index, ranking countries in terms of war, crime, terrorism, violence, discord and dissention. The U.S. ranks 103. One hundred two other countries are more peaceful – including Sri Lanka and Haiti.

We’re number 103! We’re number 103!

All the while our “leaders” tout new and innovative ways to give us more of the same. If this is the new reality, it isn’t working. Something has to give. Something needs to change.

9/11: The Political Gift That Keeps On Giving

9/11/2001, while murder for 3,000 Americans and a nightmare for the rest of us, has been a boon for the low-rent political class in the D.C. swamp. It allowed them to: create new agencies even to the cabinet level of corruption; start two big useless wars and more smaller (but still useless) wars; steal Trillion$ from the people to give to Wall Street and the MIC; place the whole population under surveillance; kill countless people and destroy countless things; stomp the Constitution and the Rule of Law into the mud; keep the people alarmed to the point of fatigue, and; provide a (terrible) reason for their own continued existence.

Nearly 15 years after the attacks the trauma of the day itself is largely forgotten while life under the new police state has been accepted almost universally. There was a hasty, sham investigation into the event but the “official story” was already contrived even as the horrors unfolded. Everyone, including the 9/11 Commission, new the Commission’s work was rigged … rigged and/or obstructed.

The Executive Branch mislead and hindered the 9/11 Commission and destroyed evidence in order to sabotage future investigations.

Presumption of a Cover-Up …

Judges and lawyers know that – if someone intentionally destroys evidence – he’s probably trying to hide his crime. American law has long recognized that destruction of evidence raises a presumption of guilt for the person who destroyed the evidence.

So what does it mean when the US government intentionally destroyed massive amounts of evidence related to 9/11?

It means the government is guilty and should be disbanded immediately.

Google.

As part of the post-9/11 wars and money-making rackets, the government has held various “terrorists” at GITMO, some with show trials, some just sitting around … forever. The government has lazily farmed out both the prosecution and defense of these men to a private company, SRA International. The same team handling both sides in “court” – conflict of interest anyone??

The Defense Department has paid SRA almost $39 million over the last five years, U.S. government contracting records show, for the cases of just seven accused terrorists — those charged in the 9/11 attacks and two others charged in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole off Yemen.

SRA has supplied roughly 45 investigators, intelligence analysts, and others to both the prosecution and defense teams at the military commissions, which are trying the cases at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. About a fifth of the total military commission staff are SRA contractors, a Defense Department spokesperson said. And the firm’s “proprietary software,” records show, is used to process the evidence in the case.

There really isn’t any Due Process concern as the system is designed to avoid any acquittals:

In 2008, the former chief prosecutor for Guantanamo’s military commissions disclosed that the trials have been rigged to prevent any possibility of acquittal.

Specifically, the head of the Guantanamo tribunal — who is actually in charge of both prosecuting and defending the suspects — told the former chief prosecutor:

‘Wait a minute, we can’t have acquittals. If we’ve been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We can’t have acquittals, we’ve got to have convictions.’

In addition, three other Guantanamo prosecutors — Maj. Robert Preston, Capt. John Carr and Capt. Carrie Wolf — “asked to be relieved of duties after saying they were concerned that the process was rigged. One said he had been assured he didn’t need to worry about building a proper case; convictions were assured.”

Another former Guantanamo prosecutor resigned, saying in a sworn declaration that the government pulled all sorts of shenanigans in one case.

The head of the tribunal also said that — even if the defendants are somehow acquitted — they may not be released from Guantanamo.

No wonder the American Bar Association, “which the Pentagon had said would help arrange such representation, has refused to participate because it objects to the trial procedures.”

Despite all this fraud and criminal misconduct the only thing keeping the rats of Congress up at night is Rand Paul stalling parts of the nefarious PATRIOT ACT.

Republicans, furious at Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), are accusing him of jeopardizing national security to further his presidential campaign.

Paul used Senate procedure to successfully — and temporarily — block the chamber’s push to renew parts of the Patriot Act on Sunday.

This caused three sections of the controversial surveillance bill, including the National Security Agency’s bulk records-collection program, to expire early Monday morning.

Again, when you go vote (unless you luckily get to vote for Paul), this is what you’re getting – pure, unadulterated corruption and evil. Keep letting the fox into the hen-house and he’ll keep eating the chickens.
