Out of time, out of legitimacy, and out of options, the West is attempting once again to prop up its faltering terrorist proxies with another psychological operation aimed at breaking the will of the Syrian people, despite the West’s multiplying tactical and political shortcomings. It began with a suspicious CBS News/AP report titled, “AP: “Master plan” underway to help Syria rebels take Damascus with U.S.-approved airlifts of heavy weapons,” which claims to divulge a “covert” plan by the West to flood Syria’s northern and southern borders with increased weapons and fighters for a “final” push to take the capital. The article would claim:
Mideast powers opposed to President Bashar Assad have dramatically stepped up weapons supplies to Syrian rebels in coordination with the U.S. in preparation for a push on the capital of Damascus, officials and Western military experts said Wednesday.
A carefully prepared covert operation is arming rebels, involving Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, with the United States and other Western governments consulting, and all parties hold veto power over where the shipments are directed, according to a senior Arab official whose government is participating. His account was corroborated by a diplomat and two military experts.
One must question why the Western media would boldly declare to the world what is supposed to be a “covert” operation, if such an operation had any tactical chance of succeeding – unless of course, the announcement was designed to either cover for wide-scale Western special operations inside Syria, or to help achieve a psychological victory (or both) – to induce panic and terror across the Syrian population in tandem with recent, and increasingly barbaric terrorist attacks on Syria’s civilians.

One such attack included the recent mortar bombardment of Damascus University which left at least 15 dead. The New York Times seemed to take special pleasure in describing in great detail the disruptive effect the attack had on people attempting to live normal lives during the ongoing conflict in their article, “Syria’s War Invades a Campus That Acted as a Sanctuary.”
Now, echos of NATO’s spectacularly failed July 2012 “Operation Damascus Volcano” – where the Western media coordinated a propaganda blitzkrieg designed to portray Syria as on the verge of collapsing with Aleppo and Damascus’ fall “imminent,” are appearing once again in the headlines. Just a day after CBS/AP’s announcement of the so-called “covert Master Plan,” the Western media is reporting “rebel gains” including the alleged cutting off of Daara in Syria’s south – meant to foreshadow the once again “inevitable fall” of Damascus. AFP cited the discredited “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” in their article, “Syria rebels seize town on key highway to south: NGO,” that:
“Rebels seized control of Dael after destroying the three army checkpoints at the entrances to the town,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. “The town is located on a main road linking Daraa to Damascus.”
The Britain-based watchdog said that a child was among 10 civilians killed in the fighting for the town over the past 24 hours.
At least 15 rebels and a media activist working with them were also killed, as were 12 loyalist troops, it added.
“Large swathes of Daraa (province) are now under rebel control. Their advance in the south is escalating,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
In actuality, the so-called “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” is a single opposition propagandists,  Rami Abdel Rahman, based in a comfortable countryside home in the UK, disingenuously masquerading as a human rights organization. When not feeding the biased-hungry Western media, Rami Abdel Rahman can be found scurrying in and out of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London to meet with Britain’s Foreign Secretary, William Hague.
….
Reuters had even admitted in their December 2011 article, “Coventry – an unlikely home to prominent Syria activist,” that ”Rami Abdulrahman,” is openly part of the Syrian opposition who seeks the end of the Syrian government. Abdulrahman admits that he had left Syria over 10 years ago, has lived in Britain ever since, and will not return until “al-Assad goes.”
This facade is fully sanctioned by the Western media which despite acknowledging him as a biased, compromised source, consistently misrepresents him to their audience as a credible “human rights organization,” while almost exclusively deferring to him to lend credibility to their otherwise baseless narratives.
When entire articles hinge on Rami Abdel Rahman’s verified propaganda, perception management, not journalism, is dictating headlines and overarching narratives.
The Syrian people have resisted the collective efforts of the US, UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their regional partners for 2 years, and have defeated at least two previous psychological operations aimed at toppling the government and destroying the country. The tides have shifted across public opinion, and evidence that the West has intentionally sought to arm and direct sectarian extremists against the Syrian nation since at least 2007, are reaching a crescendo.
While the West now openly admits it is working directly with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and NATO-member Turkey to supply thousands of tons of weapons to militants in Syria, it cannot explain how else Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra front has become the best armed and most well equipped front in the conflict – unless these thousands of tons of weaponry were sent directly to them, as was intended to begin with, according to Seymour Hersh’s 2007 article, “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?” which reported:
To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coƶperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.
A window is closing, and the West is resorting to dangerous desperation. Syria and its allies, as well as concerned interests around the world, must be more vigilant and resilient than ever. The tell-tale signs of a psychological operation are there – but for a psychological operation to succeed, a nation’s people must not be prepared or aware that it is coming. By raising awareness of this most recent, insidious attempt at snatching a psychological victory from the jaws of a tactical defeat, we can help quicken the day when the West’s war machine finally stumbles and falls, giving the people of Syria their lives back.

Economics and Politics


 

 

There has been the European Union's financial looting of Cyprus. The EU is imposing the act of a bailout imposed on Cyprus. Some critics of this policy view this as a criminal act of financial looting (which is aimed at destroying the country's banks and reducing the working class to penury). Cyprus wants to escape bankruptcy. Yet, there are those that want the Mediterranean island of about 1 million human beings to be exposed to the shock therapy that was inflicted on Greece. The terms of the €10 billion loan have been dictated by the EU, the European Central Bank or the ECB, and the IMF. The terms deal with winding up Laiki bank (or Cyprus' second largest bank) and transferring its debts to the ECB to the Bank of Cyprus. The Bank of Cyprus needs a major restructuring. There are an additional 5.8 billion euros to be raised by imposing severe penalties of 40 percent and more (on bondholders and those with bank deposits of over €100,000). There are emergency capital controls are in place like the ban on overseas transfers, a €300 limit on cash withdrawals, and a bar on anyone leaving the country with more than €1,000 in banknotes. The British security firm G4S is on guard at the island’s banks to “ensure calm” after they finally reopened yesterday after 12 days. These measures are in sync with German Chancellor Angela Merkel's agenda. She wants Cyprus to recognize that its current business model is dead. The country's financial sector is eight times the size of its GDP, which can increase the risk of an economic collapse. They or the Cypriot government was forced to retreat on its plan to impose a 6.7 percent levy on bank deposits below  €100,000. Those supposedly saved in this instance are to be bled dry by other means. The unemployment stands at 15 percent due to the EU austerity measures that have been implemented by the previous Communist led Party led government (which even before the current crisis has led to the opening of charitable food banks in Paphos, Limassol, and Nicosia). Nicosia will face the usual conditions of an euro-zone rescue like labor market reforms, fiscal discipline, privatizations, pension, and health care reform. The EU bailouts came in Greece, Ireland, Spain, and other nations. Austerity and wage cuts failed to benefit the economy of nations. The loan sent into Cyprus has been tied to mass job losses and wages cuts. There has been the gutting of health, education, and social provisions, the privatization of major utilities, and the handing over of the island's natural and energy resources to the global energy giants. If the status quo continues, GDP is forecast to fall by 25 percent in the next 2 or 3 years and unemployment is set to double. The Eurozone is not working massively. The financial oligarchy has dictated governmental policy for a long time. This is expressed over Liborgate or the laundering of drug money by the HSBC bank and others. There has been widespread fraud by JPMorgan Chase and others. Many global financial markets are consolidated. The working class has every right to execute strong revolutionary duties in order to oppose austerity anywhere in the world. The EU grabbing money is typical of them.

 

We know about Eric Harroun being arrested on Tuesday night by the FBI for fighting alongside an Al Qaeda group in Syria. Eric was an U.S. Army veteran. His own father said that his son was working for the CIA. In January, Harroun slipped into Syria to link up with the Jabhat al-Nusra or the Al Qaeda group that killed U.S. troops in Iraq. The group is now the leading front line fighting force in Syria and Jabhat al-Nusra is the leading front line fighting force in Syria that have commanded other rebel organizations. The State Department has labeled the group as a terrorist organization. Yet, 29 different U.S. backed Syrian opposition groups have pledged their allegiance to the group. Harroun was arrested by FBI agents at a hotel near Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia on charges of using a rocket propelled grenade launcher on behalf of an Al-Qaeda affiliated group in Syria. Harroun's father is Darryl Harroun. Darryl told reporters that his son was very patriotic and would never join up with Al-Qaeda. That is a strange comment since Harroun appeared in various videos with al-Nusra terrorists in which he brags about helping them take down a military helicopter. Harroun admitted to FBI agents that he had shot at least 10 people. Harroun's own father let slip what could of outlines the key to the entire story when he said, “I know he was doing some work for the CIA over there,” adding, “I know for a fact that he was passing information onto the CIA.” We know that the CIA aided, trained, and equipped rebel insurgents in Syria is no secret. The New York Times reported that the CIA worked with Turkey and other Arabic governments in the region to oversee a “secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.” If Harroun had CIA connections, then his role fighting alongside Jabhat al-Nusra further validates the fact that the CIA is supporting including aiding the radical terrorists in Syria (who carried out suicide bombings and other attacks targeting schools, universities, and other atrocities. These atrocities include chemical weapons attacks, torture, and gruesome beheadings). We know that the rebels in Syria have ransacked Christian churches, tortured Christians as included in sectarian reprisals, and killed even Shia religious human beings. The rebels have been caught on tape burning U.S. flags, chanting anti-American slogans and praised the puppet Osama bin Laden while glorifying the 9/11 attacks. The FBI and the CIA have rivalries and are allied in several endeavors as well. Before 9/11, an FBI investigation into the bin Laden family and other terrorists that if seen through may have prevented the attacks was stymied by the CIA itself. It is hypocritical for the U.S. government including NATO to openly support rebel extremists in Syria as a means to try to accomplish regime change and then when some of these militants come home, they are arrested as terrorists. Britain has arrested other citizens when they return to the UK from Syria despite pushing to arm numerous terrorists in Syria. Ironic isn't it. Now, the Democratic Party is the Republican Party as the Sister Margaret Kimberley said. That means that the Democrats are taking the same positions that the GOP once had. For example, today numerous Democrats agree with austerity, war, drone attacks, school closures, and a health care program that Nixon agreed with (or that the ACA bailouts the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries). Both the GOP and the Democrats agree with the wicked Monsanto Corporation. Monsanto advances cancer causing GMOs and harmful MSGs.

 

There has been a large discussion about Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Ben Carson is a great surgeon among Americans. Dr. Carson is a neurosurgeon. He claims to be non-partisan and to be above the political fray. Yet, he speaks at the establishment conservative CPAC convention. He is allied with the conference since he speaks at it. What is the truth about Dr. Carson? I have research this controversy to see the truth. The truth is apparent. Dr. Ben Carson is right to believe in the power of the individual and personal responsibility. Yet, I believe that he omits the structural imperfections in the society that influences poverty and oppression. Sometimes, we need revolutionary change with help from the public sector too not just from the private sector as privatization has harmed communities throughout the world. Wardell Connerly, Shelby Steele, and Clarence Thomas are even more extreme than Dr. Ben Carson in wanting to end affirmative action, Head Start, and other social programs that are public. Also, folks like Steele omit the huge voter suppression efforts by the reactionaries against the brothers and sisters of America (including other human beings). Dr. Ben Carson in his 2013 CPAC speech was in error to make the following words: "...Nobody is starving on the streets (of America). We have always taken care of them. We have churches which actually are much better mechanisms for taking care of the poor because they are right there with them. This is one of the reasons we give tax breaks to churches...” The truth is that folks are starving in America every single day and over 40 million Americans lack health care in the USA alone. The churches can contribute to help the less fortunate, but also the government too as a part of maintaining the general welfare of society. Dr. Ben Carson made contributions in the field of medicine. He is the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins and the youngest man to head a surgical department. Dr. Ben Carson has a great work ethic and a commitment to excellence. Dr. Ben Carson knowingly or knowingly presents words that try to give reactionaries a justification to try to destroy completely the social safety net in America. Carson believes in the falsehood that any poor person that is not middle class or rich lacks drive, initiative, is dependent on the government, or has personal failure. Some folks are poor, because of discrimination, oppression, and socioeconomic factors. These human beings still have a huge work ethic, but they are scapegoated by a corrupt society. Many even black conservatives benefited from the system or public assistance. Wardell Connerly received assistance to grow his business form the 8 (a) Program. Even Justice Thomas was a beneficiary of Affirmative action. There is still systemic oppression against Americans. Individual success means nothing if collectively my people are suffering massively. Dr. Ben Carson made the false statement that socialism was a reaction to America since Europeans wanted to redistributed wealth. Socialism was a term attributed to both Pierre Leroux and Robert Owen in ca. 1827. Socialist ideals about common and public ownership transpired all throughout human history in the thousands of years of human history. Modern socialism came in reaction to the industrial revolution. Carson is wrong to assume that people don't want to talk about God. The First Amendment allows humans to talk about God. Dr. Ben Carson refuses to talk about race or racial oppression. When Dr. Carson criticized the Affordable Care Act, Dr. Carson wanted a health savings account for newborns not a universal single payer health care system. Fox News loves him since Dr. Carson is a critic of the Barack Obama administration. Dr. Carson says that he is Independent ideologically, but he shares similar political views as Sean Hannity. The reality is that rugged individualism never worked neither does the bootstraps philosophy. What works are radical changes in society that ends cartel-capitalism. Dr. Carson ought to be respected for his legitimate achievements in medicine. He has the right to his views without ad hominem attacks and invectives. Yet, folks have the right to disagree with him on some issues as well. I don't agree with him on some economic and other political issues. He is right that black people have the right to have independent thinking and the Democratic Party and the GOP ought not to be worshipped as deities at all. Dr. Ben Carson has great character in his life and he loves his family. I just disagree with him on some issues. Also, Dr. Ben Carson needs to realize that white supremacy is an enemy that ought to be rid from the face of the Earth. The establishment conservatives are still the wolves and the establishment liberals are still the foxes. They are 2 sides of the same coin and we as human beings have the right to build our own chessboard not bowing down to the Republican/Democrat chessboard.

 

 

Eugenics is the same evil that has influenced human history. Genetic engineering without labels is also evil too. It is not a secret that genetically modified organisms have a huge negative impact on health and the environment. Even cotton farmers in India have to deal with GMOs. The establishment knows that they cannot control a society by arms or violence alone. That is why that try to utilize education, entertainment, religion, and the political system as a way to dictate the actions of some of the masses. Louis Althusser called this plan as the ideological state apparatuses. The mainstream media and the hegemony in the world are common themes of this control. Eugenics is one of the wickedest doctrines in the Universe, because it is a philosophy whose stated goal was to reduce the reproductive capacity of other human beings who were falsely labeled as "less desired." Now, for over one century, white supremacists and their allies have used eugenics as a means to advance of population control. It is not a secret that NSM 200 and other documents want to get rid of the sections of the world populations in the Third World. We live in the age of automation and the outsourcing of jobs. Many populations will be unemployed or underemployed if no radical solutions come. Therefore, the establishment wants more population control in China, Africa, India, etc. as a means to decrease human population growth. Millionaire U.S. media baron Ted Turner wants to have a global population of two billion human beings. The billionaire Bill Gates has pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to improve access to contraception in the developing world. Bill Gates doesn't want birth control for family purposes per se. He wants to lower global population and to seek GMOs in our food supply as well. Some in the elite believe in the lie that the world is overpopulated. Gates has purchased shares in Monsanto valued at more than $23 million. So, Bill Gates wants to help Monsanto to send GMOs or genetically modified organisms into Africa on a wide scale. With fewer people, the elites are trying to get as much resources as they came and earn more concentrated wealth. It is all about power, even more vital than money. Back in 2001, Monsanto and DuPont bought a small biotech company called Epicyte that created a gene that makes the male sperm sterile and the female egg unreceptive.  In the US, GM foods are already on the market and unlabeled. The GM sector has spent millions to ensure that this remains the case. US citizens thus have no idea of what could be in their food. These foods where not independently tested for their impact on health. Many foods can damage health filled with GMOs and MSG. Bill Gates' worked with Planned Parenthood as its head. Planned Parenthood's founder was an eugenicist. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is involved in advancing GMOs in Africa via its financing of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). The Gates Foundation has given at least $264.5 million to AGRA. There is a report published by La Via Campensina or the Peasants' Way in 2010. It revealed that 70 percent of AGRA's grantees in Kenya work directly with Monsanto and early 80 percent of the Gates Foundation funding is devoted to biotechnology. The report also explains that the Gates Foundation has pledged $880 million to create the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), which is a heavy promoter of GMOs. The Gates Foundation has chosen the promotion of corporate ruled agriculture, which led to the disempowerment of farmers. This is contrary to real solutions like genuine food sovereignty and handling the economic and political issues that cause poverty. GM agents are targeting India now. We know that the seed monopolies and GMOs are detrimental to the environment. The researcher F. William Engdahl proved that U.S. power has influenced the growth of genetic engineering. With the Green Revolution in the agriculture sector of developing countries caused new markets. These markets are for petro chemical fertilizers and petroleum products as well as to expand dependency on energy products. Food has now become weaponized to secure global dominance. The deal is that our issues are caused by a system of ownership that ensures wealth flows from bottom to top not by overpopulation. The West has an obsession with oil and other natural resources. The rich elite believe that there is a carry on consuming. Turner believes that humans are using too much stuff, which is false. For instance, developing nations account for more than 80 percent of world population, but consume only about one third of the world's energy. U.S. constitutes 5 percent of the world’s population but consume 24 percent of the world’s energy. On average, one American consumes as much energy as two Japanese, six Mexicans, 13 Chinese, 31 Indians, 128 Bangladeshis, 307 Tanzanians and 370 Ethiopians. That is why the establishment is wrong to fund genetic engineering of food and to fund a gene that can caused forced sterilization. Society is changing and we should use our efforts to oppose non labeling of GMOs, forced population, and eugenics completely.

 

 

We know of the dangerous consequences of the war on Drugs. It has been a war on human beings who use drugs. Even during the Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton yeas, the War on Drugs harmed much of the Bill of Rights. Many drug kingpins are not affected by it, but mothers, fathers, small time dealers, medical marijuana users, and even children. In Denver, Colorado, SWAT Team members raided the wrong residence. Ismael Mena was murdered by the SWAT Team members when he just said Policia. He was a father of nine and was instantly killed when he was hit by eight bullets. No drugs were found at his home. In Washington, D.C. Marsha Simmons on many times called the police to remove her crack selling grandchildren from in front of her house. The police responded by seizing her home because her grandchildren had sold crack on the property. In Pennsylvania, then 21 year old John Hirko was shot to death by police. They were dressed in ninja style uniforms. They never knocked on the door. They threw a grenade through a window. This action set fire to the house. John Hirko was completely unarmed when this incident transpired. He was suspected of dealing with small amounts of marijuana and cocaine. He tried to flee the fire and he died on his stairway. The mandatory minimum sentences have violated the Eighth Amendment. The Drug War have caused drug courts, lowering standards of probable cause for search and seizure, and restrictions on commercial speech, which are in violation of the First, Fifth, Fourth, and Sixth Amendments of the Bill of Rights. In the war on Drugs, there are huge misconceptions. Studies document that whites do significantly more drugs including crack than African Americans. Even back in the year of 2000, Tim Wise wrote that: "...According to the Department of Health and Human Services, Whites are eleven percent more likely to have used drugs than Blacks and twenty-five percent more likely to have done so than Hispanics." He further reports that a National Drug Abuse Survey from the Centers for Disease Control found that Whites in high school were “seven times more likely than Blacks to have used cocaine or heroin, and six times more likely to have used methamphetamine..." Wise shown information findings from the National Institutes on Drug Abuse, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Department of Health and Human Services, admitting the fact that contrary to popular belief, Whites were at least as likely, if not more likely, to use drugs than their black and brown Americans. There are even prescription drug addiction epidemic amongst numerous white Americans. Now, events like the Opium Wars are examples of how elites and international banking cartels exploited drug usage as a means to weaken the culture and society of other cultures The First Opium War was from 1839 to 1842. The Second Opium War was from 1856 to 1860. The dispute was basically about the British Empire trying to conquer the Qing Dynasty in China under the guise of trade including diplomatic relations. In China, opium was used for medicinal purposes. Europeans introduced mixing opium with tobacco for smoking. The British East India Company facilitated drug trafficking in China, which contributed to the opium wars. The British Empire, not sincere British human beings, never wanted negotiation. They wanted control over China. What do Empire want historically? More power. We all know the solutions to this. The get tough policy never worked. We can allow medical usage of marijuana among states to not be harmed by the federal government. We can reduce sentences for human beings who commit nonviolent drug law offenses. There can be drug treatment programs for those with drug addiction instead of lengthy prison sentences. Portugal has followed similar actions and they have drastically decreased its rates of violent crime, addiction, and disease transmission since reforming its drug laws.

Savant's Words



When racism and exploitation disappears, then we can move on. But it will not just disappear, we must abolish it.
When the degradation of women ends, then we can move on. Bu tit won't end by itself. We must end it.
When there are no longer 12 million children going to bed hungry every night in the world's richest country, then we can move on.
But this won't happen automatically. WE must END hunger and the rapacious economic system which causes it.
When militarism and imperialism disappears, then we can move on. But it won't happen automatically. We must abolish militarism and imperialism.
When have a free, just and cooperative society, then we can move FORWARD. But that won't happen automatically. We must CREATE such a society, such a COMMUNITY OF FREEDOM which affirms not only the dignity of our people, but the dignity of every man, woman and child on earth.
This is whole aim or REVOLUTION, the MEANING of revolution.
We've a choice: to OPPOSE the establish order and create a NEW one, or to surrender and collaborate with the existing system of injustice.
I choose to oppose and CREATE...LIberation for my people, and justice for humankind.
FREEDOM RISING!

-Savant

The 1% in America certainly possess the highest standard of living.

Indeed, the economic gap between haves and have nots in America is greater than in the wealthier nations of western Europe. Our literacy and educational level is much lower as well--at least as far as the AVERAGE person is concerned.
It's national disgrace. It MUST end. And the ultimate solution is REVOLUTION, by NONVIOLENT means if possible

Extra Research and Truth


Revolutionary views and the Illuminati go hand in hand when you research real history. The American Revolution was made up of more moderate individuals and the more radical revolutionaries encompass the French Revolution. We know about laissez faire capitalism had their modern roots from Adam Smith and David Ricardo. The Jacobins, who views were influenced by the Illuminism, include human beings like Robespierre, Mara, Danton, and others in France. Throughout human history, there has been a divergence of revolutionaries. We have anarcho-Marxists, anarcho-capitalists, feminists, civil rights activists from across the political spectrum. Now, in our generation, we do readily realize the secret society and occult thinking that undergird much of the revolutionary faith of certain human beings. It is a known fact that secret orders like Freemasonry influenced numerous revolutions of Europe and America. Even today, Masonry has influenced the English crown. The Queen of England is the royal patroness of Freemasonry and Duke of Kent is a famous Freemason living now. Freemasonry in America is diverse and once the Scottish Rite had very discriminatory policies to say the least. In the UK, some human beings sincerely wanted liberty while others were well known infiltrators and spies. Scholars believe that the Grand Orient influenced socialism, communism, and egalitarianism. I have no issue with egalitarianism at all. Far too often, there are those who obsess with communism and socialism, while forgetting to expose the weaknesses of laissez faire capitalism (which contributed to the modern day economic inequality of the 21st century). For example, laissez faire capitalism is responsible for a lot of the evils found in the Gilded Age. Now, the French Revolution was about opposing the evils of monarchy. Yet, some of the revolutionaries went too far in using the red terror and executing policies that destroyed religious freedom. They wanted to have a dictatorial state, which was just as wrong as having some theocratic monarchy. Many of them were ideological descendants of the Bavarian tradition of Illuminism. Critics of the French Revolution believe that the revolutionaries wanted some atheistic, secular republic, but the monarchy and the religious establishment committed sick acts against the common people. Thomas Jefferson agreed with Illuminism and the French revolutionaries' agenda. Thomas Jefferson was a Deist, who wanted religious liberty, but he had errors. We know his errors. Even George Washington had reservations about the Jacobin Illuminists. James Billington, John Daniel, and other scholars have written about the revolutionary passion among controversial revolutionaries spanning human history. The Continental or Grand Orient Masonry was a key facilitator of numerous changes in Europe including the world. Not everything that the French Revolutionaries did was evil. Victor Schoelcher was right to advocate the abolition of slavery. Others were right in giving women rights and banning child labor. Yet, some of them were wrong in trying to kill folks that disagreed with them religiously or ideologically. Even a pro-monarch has the right to exist peacefully and I reject political monarchies completely. The freedom of conscience is legitimate and this concept has been opposed by the Papists and dictators for centuries. All men are created equal. Just because a Mason may talk of these things, doesn't mean that it is inaccurate. I don't agree with all in Freemasonry, but equality, justice, and liberty are neither vices nor sins at all. Now, we should have boundaries in our conduct though. Freedom is not freedom without morality, standards, and moral absolutes. For example, murder being wrong is a moral absolute.

 

Queen Nanny of the Maroons is very heroic human being of the Caribbean. She was the famous leader of the Jamaican Maroons and she lived from ca. 1685 to 1755. She founded Nanny Land. The Maroons formed their own communities in the rugged, hilly interior of Jamaica than adjust to slavery. They were skilled fighters and they were hard to defeat. The Windward and Leeward Maroons were headed by Nanny of the Maroons and Captain Cudjoe. Many of the Maroons came from human beings from the Akan region of West Africa. Nanny came from the Ashanti tribe. The Maroons freed slaves from the plantations. Later, they damaged land and property belonging to the plantation owners. Nanny was born in Ghana, West Africa. She was brought to Jamaica as a slave. Some of her relatives were sold as slaves as well. She, Accompong, Cudjoe, Johnny, and Quao ran away from their plantation. They hid in the Blue Mountains area of northern Saint Thomas Parish. Each of them formed communities all over Jamaica like Accompong settling in Saint Elizabeth Parish in a community known as Accompong Town. Nanny Town was made up of 500 acres of the land granted to runaway slaves. It overlooked Stony River via a 900 foot ridges to make sure that a surprise attack by the British virtually impossible. The Maroons at Nanny Town also organized look-outs for such an attack as well as designated warriors who could be summoned by the sound of a horn called an Abeng. The community raised animals, hunted, grew crops, and were organized very similar to the Ashanti tribe of Africa. Nanny freed more than 800 slaves and helped them to resettle in the Maroon community. Nanny was a true heroine indeed of the black liberation struggle. Her contributions ought to be acknowledged. We have to learn about learn about our heroes like Bussa. Bussa was an African born man. He was a Barbardian slave who in 1816 led a slave uprising in Barbados known as Bussa's Rebellion. He may have been Igbo or of Akan descent. He was captured by African slave merchants and sold to the British in the late 18th century. His rebellion was the first of the 3 large scale slave rebellions in the British West Indies that shook public faith in slavery in the years leading up to emancipation or the freedom of the slaves. The Bussa Rebellion inspired the Guyanese insurrection. The planning was undertaken at a number of sugar estates, including Bayley's plantation where it began. Preparation for the rebellion began soon after the House of Assembly discussed and rejected the Imperial Registry Bill in November 1815. By February 1816, the decision had been taken that the revolt should take place in April, at Easter. Bussa led the slaves into battle at Bayley's on Tuesday on April 16. Bussa led 400 freedom fighters and he or Bussa was killed in battle. The rebellion, but liberation for Barbados would soon come who have valiantly fought for their liberation like men, women, and children. The Emancipation Statue still exists in Haggat Hall in the parish of St. Michael. It was created by Karl Broodhagen. An act of Parliament in 1998 made Bussa to be named the ten National Heroes of Barbados.

 

Secret Societies are controversial. I don't agree with Richard Cassaro on all issues. Yet, he made an excellent point that we should battle against economic inequality and the corporate domination of our governments in a foul fashion. He is right that elite families and select bloodlines control most of the major banks and giant multinational corporations (via nefarious means in hegemony). This handful of the richest families gain more hegemony over time and this cabal tries to restrict true spiritual and political information from the rest of the human race. The truth on many occasions is restricted from the masses. The elite want to make a globalized system where human individual liberties are suppressed and true spiritual understanding of reality is highly restricted among the majority of the human family. Now, many movements for change came about in opposition to the tyranny of the Inquisition and theocracy or monarchy. Back centuries; you can be killed in Europe for just expressing an opinion peacefully about the Roman Church. Now, this has nothing to do with real Christianity. It has to do with some distorting the real teachings of Jesus Christ and Christianity as a means to advance a more reactionary, faux religious agenda (which heavily came into being from the Council of Nicea on 325 A.D.). Regardless of if you agree with the wisdom traditions or not, the Catholic Church or any religious body has no right centuries ago to kill folks if they peacefully expressed an alternative political or religious point of view that was in contrast to Romanism. Now, not every secret society is holy or good. For example, the Skulls and Bones were involved in working for the agenda of internationalists and globalists. The Knights of the Golden Circle were pro-Confederates as well. In our world, elite big corporations exploit the symbolism of the past from pentagrams, eyes, or otherwise as a means to stamp their influence in modern day society. The elite populations need a fearful, brainwashed populace in order for them to buy their products from cars to genetically engineered food. We know about the 2 party system of the Republicans and the Democrats being ruled by the oligarchy. Even in 1922, John Hylan or the then Mayor of New York City (from 1918 to 1925) admitted an invisible government has infiltrated the nation even in the local or city level of political infrastructure. Even David Rockefeller wrote his Memoirs that he wants an one world system and he is not ashamed of that goal at all. We know how many international banks have been involved in corruption. We understand how some in Big Pharma make it a business to advance not only drugs, but dangerous chemicals in the air, food, and water supplies of the world. One time, Merck and Company had to pull its arthritis drug Vioxx from the market since concerns over its risk of heart attacks and stroke. We know about the interconnected network of large media conglomerates that spew propaganda and deception all of the time, especially during the run up to the Iraq War. Now, as for Freemasonry, the Freemasons are still wrong to have death oaths, to have deception in their degrees, to claim that man can create godhood among some of its adherents, and to believe in other errors. In essence, numerous secret societies believe that the ancient wisdom traditions were a means wherefore humans can achieve enlightenment or basically be like God. The Secret societies believe that life is about us activating the inner divine or eternal self or your inner soul (as found in the third eye). So, Freemasonry is the revival of the Ancient Mysteries. It is also true that man is valuable. Man is not God, but the Kingdom of God is within you.

 

 

 

There is the issue of Detroit. It has been shown in the news and other forms of media across the world. Detroit has been a victim of austerity and privatization schemes. It is not a secret that the issues of poverty, privatization, and the prison state must be addressed in society. It is fine to expose race based disparities in our health care, but we need to have a single payer health care system as a means to control costs and stabilize our health system indeed. We need solutions to our problems. Exposing racism and white supremacy is fine. Also, we need to create solutions for human beings as well. Even in Chicago, the Race to the Top educational privatization agenda of Obama threaten to close down 50 plus schools in Chicago alone. This is found mostly in black and brown neighborhoods. That means that the bankers and the elite privatize their public assets. In Detroit, there are corporate elitists are getting the property of Detroit. There is the state appointed emergency financial manager said that he won't the salaries of the City Council of the mayor for the time being. There are many demonstrators disagreeing with the disenfranchisement of the citizens of Detroit. Kevyn Orr will make decisions on how Detroit will deal with creditors that include his former firm's Wall Street client Merrill Lynch. Like always, the elitists will use a person of color as a scapegoat when oppression has existed in the USA for centuries. Jones Day is a corporation that represents banks like the Bank of America (and others that were involved in the evil, devastating home foreclosures). As Tom Stephens explains, that means Merrill Lynch “is one of the city’s key creditors.” So, financial dictator Kevyn Orr will be making decisions on how Detroit will deal with creditors that include his former firm’s Wall Street client, Merrill Lynch. Detroit is being exploited by corporate America who wants the disenfranchisement of its citizens and removal of human beings from the nation's cities. There has been the assault on locally elected authority over the public schools like targeting Black School districts. The concerns of African Americans ought to be respected, because racial oppression is just as important an issue as economic or class oppression. There is nothing wrong with Black power and black interests being advanced in Detroit and any area of the world. We know about the race riots in Detroit where white racists attacked blacks who just wanted to seek employment and public accommodations during WWII. That is why the liberal establishment is just as wrong on some issues as the conservative establishment. The establishment Left contains revolution, while the establishment Right advances reactionary propaganda. We know that the emergency manager usurpation is against legal principles and basic morality since cities, towns, and school districts have the right to their own sovereignty. In Chicago, there is a massive civil disobedience planned in Chicago to the historic mass school closings in Chicago. This action will be done by teachers, activists, and parents. Chicago's proposal closure of schools is the largest in the nation with the 54 school shut down (and to consolidate another 11). The folks in Chicago want to bridge a 1 billion dollar budget deficit by closing schools and investing in the remaining schools. Critics of the schools closure say that they will put children in risk since Chicago has a high number of homicides each year. The students involved in the closings and mergers have to walk in gang territory without bus service, security, or certain protection. Larger class size, overcrowding, and the rejection of the Ryerson offer are fruits of this policy if they come into fruition. That is why activists are protesting and seek funding for education instead of harsh austerity.  

 

 

The music industry now is still showing the same patterns in fashion. A lot of photo-shoot shows these artists in dual black and white stripes that look similar to the Masonic checkerboard floor. This type of image is shown even by Rihanna in Elle Magazine via the checkered board pattern. It is interesting to note that she has the Egyptian falcon tattoo on her ankle. It is similar to the solar god Horus or one central figure of the occult mysteries. The All Seeing Eye comes from the Eye of Horus. The eye represents the third eye of humans finding their inner soul in order to achieve enlightenment. Big time corporations expose these symbols for their own purposes. In the same photo shoot, Rihanna wears the masquerade ball mask. Such a mask has been glamorized in films like Eyes Wide Shut and it is known practice in ancient occult elite rituals (and parties by the rich elite today in the 21st century). Rihanna also appears as cat woman. Folks like Courtney Stodden in this new generation show images that embodies alter personas and same personalities. She is just 18 years and she is married to a man over fifty years old. You know that they have issues because they went on a reality TV shows trying to fix their relationship. She in one video acts as a cat. Enough said. Stodden's husband appears as her handler. He has an Eye of Horus tattoo along with alchemical symbols of fire and water (in the upright and reversed triangles). The union of opposites is a key part of the esoteric tradition. The modern world just mimics the ancient world in more ways than one. Now, we live in the latter days. We should not follow some heresies like moral relativism or the view that you can do what you want to do. We should reject legends and false, endless genealogies that cannot save a soul. Only God can save souls. We see the growth of the EU nations and the massive Anglo-American Empire too. Back in 1909, the Round Table Society was formed as a means to try to make the British Empire to rule the world. Even Rhodes Scholars was created by Cecil Rhodes as a means to expand the British Empire as a means to promote the lie of the cultural superiority of the Anglo-Saxon peoples. Rhodes’s detailed instructions for his scholarship scheme provided for 60 students from the Empire, 32 from the United States and a smaller number from Germany to be taught and accommodated at Oxford for one year, and so the "Rhodes Scholarships" were born and still exist to this very day. Prominent Rhodes Scholarship alumni include the former US President Bill Clinton, as well as at least 9 senior officials in the Clinton Administration and 11 in the Kennedy Administration, and a few Rhodes Scholars are found in the current Bush Administration. The Round Table influenced the creation of the RIIA and the CFR.

WSWS defends racist Lansing, and racist Big business again!

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/03/25/detr-m25.html
Although I appreciate WSWS's attacks on self serving, "self hating" negroes, these guys & gals should correct the terminology used to describe a principle they follow. On Wikipedia it says that they're anti-racial politics, when in fact a careful examination of their work reveals them as being overzealously against Black politics ONLY!
White Prejudice against other tribes are justly recognized on their website as anti-whatever.....
Obama is against Black politics as well (as Black Agenda Report Dot com has pointed out over and over again). In fact, his entire presidency is based on ignoring the grievances of the group that the corporate media promotes him as being connected to. His handlers always makes sure that he subtly let's white people know that "he's not like those other n_------," and he's not going to help them.
This is done solely for the purpose of appealing to whites in swing states and beyond or what have you. I think the buzz words the corporate media promoted in the run up to his election was "post-racial politics" [translation: We just installed a Black president n-------, so we can rid ourselves of the white guilt as we continue and expand our policy of benign neglect of you n-------- and your communities, and continue our genocide against non-whites across the globe]
After reading this article on Detroit by WSWS, they must now explain to its readers how Obama is both supporting the racist in Lansing and the Wall street house slave Orr, while at the same time supporting Black politics ????

Savant's Research in 2013



Since former Confederate were seditionists who tried to subvert the Republic to protect slavery, I think they were treated leniently. They could have been hanged for treason. If anything I fault the North for having withdrawn support from Reconstruction and abandoned the Blacks who fought to win their freedom and save the Republic. At the very least they should have redistributed land to former slaves to enable economic independence; and maybe also ARMED them to enable self-defense. The reactionary South was directly responsible for the racial violence and caste system which wrought so much devastation on the lives of my parents, grandparents & great grandparents. The North was perhaps indirectly responsible for not seeing through Reconstruction and the democratization of the South

As for Hamas and Al Qaeda, well we know whet they are. You acknowledge that Attai expressed outrage over Al Qaeda atrocities in Mali. You may have forgotten also his concern --during the Arab Spring--that the Spring might be thwarted by militant Islamicists In Tunisia and Egypt....a concern which you also expressed. I recall that conversation happened in a thread entitled ISLAM AND THE BLACK RACE. I can tell you that Attai's attitude toward militant Islamicists in thread were also expressed in private messages, and in stronger terms than in threads, But not with your more inflammatory language. Now you say that he calls for the destruction of Israel, which you further insist is a contradiction. But that sounds somewhat like the charge about him wishing for the destruction of the white race. I've simply never seen any statement of his which calls for any such thing. I've yet to see any pro-Hamas statements by him either. But like many European leftists, and some American ones, he clearly is sympathetic to the Palestinians. One can obviously debate these issues, and there are many different views even among Israelis and Palestinians themselves. But I see no grounds for assuming that someone who disagrees with your position is a Nazi or a jihadist. I know of no Nazis whom Attai supports, and know of no evidence indicating that he is a Nazi. But I notice that you use the term "nazi" quite loosely, even applying it to Bishop Desmond Tutu, part of South Africa's democratic opposition to the Nazi-esque apartheid regime, and (like Gandhi and KIng) an advocate of nonviolence. What a strange crop of Nazis--democratic, antiracist and NONVIOLENT! I've said before that this loose use of words like "Nazi" and "fascist " on the left, is similar to the Right's use of "Communist. " Angela Davis once criticized the Panthers for such rhetorical excesses. It begins eventually to be like crying "wolf" too often. Then when REAL NAZI wolves are at the door no one will believe you.

Now I read that during the 1980s, Jean Marie Le Pen's Front did engage in acts of terrorism against Black and North African. So is the National Front trying to polish up its image?

Southerners were fighting to protect slavery. States Rights was a pretext. As long as southern politicians were dominant in the national government, and could impose laws like the Fugitive Slave Act, there was not great demand for secession or states rights. Only when they saw themselves losing power, and Lincoln's Republican Party (which they perceived to be Abolitionist) did they seriously lean toward secession. Lincoln was opposed to slavery so far as his personal moral view was concerned, but was a politician fist of all. He initially didn't heed the Abolitionist demand to make the war a war of liberation against slavery. Only when Abolition became a military necessity, and public opinion turned against slavery, did he bring his politics in conformity to his ethical views Hence the Emancipation Proclamation.

______________________________

Capitalism is a scam, a global scam. And it's in the interst of the 1% to keep the mass of the people as ignorant as possible. A few educated people they can handle, can use. Like my former fellow student Lorna. But mainly they want most people to be ignorant. Hence they discourage education on the one hand, and try to undermine the quality of education (for the masses) on the other. Stokely Carmihchael, Dr. King, Huey Newton, Angela Davis, Paul Robeson, Bobby Seale, Kathleen Cleaver, and a host of other Black movers and shakers (and non-Black movers and shakers) were educated people for whom education was more than a ticket to money and high position. But if you cannot or do not go to college, then at least be like Malcolm X. REad and study all you can. Know history, politics, philosophy, culture and the arts. Learn, learn, learn! Ignorance is for slaves and fools. And a famous SLAVEHOLDER knew this very well: "Those who wish to be both ignorant and free, want what has never been and can never be." No wonder they refused to allow our ancestors to learn. Learn, learn, learn!

The Real World





The Israeli trip was interesting. Israel apologized to Turkey and promised Mavi Marmara compensation. At first, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once refused to apologize for Israel's massacre on the Mavi Marmara. He promised financial compensation to the families of the nine Turkish citizens that were murdered during the attack. Some reports also show that an Israeli agreement to ease the Gaza blockade via the provisions is uncertain. There are questions on why these developments came about in the first place. Avigdor Lieberman rejected the apology at first. Now, Lieberman immediately attacked the apology. Some feel that Netanyahu wanted to do this as a means to get the White House to agitate more in the Iranian nuclear negotiations. President Barack Obama left Israel and he played a key role in dealing the deal accomplished. Obama tried and failed before, so both Israel and the USA made an offer to Netanyahu. We witness issues of the unrest of Syria, Iran's nuclear program, and Turkey. There was the disappearance of airman Ran Arad decades ago in Lebanon and Gilad Shalit's imprisonment. Turkish mourning over the cold blooded murder of nine of its citizens ought not to be minimized at all. Ravid is wrong to assume that Turkey's leadership would welcome an U.S. attack on Iran. Turkey and Iran are strong allies until the Syrian civil war came about. A new war in Iran could potentially destabilize the entire Middle Eastern region indeed. Erdogan doesn't want any new war in the Middle East at all. Iran was the leading discussion on the Israeli-U.S. meeting. The President Barack Obama said that Iran was at least a year away from the nuclear threshold. Netanyahu once gave that date in this time period. Israel's apology is an admission by them that its actions were egregious, unwarranted, and illegal. If a nation apologies and pay money, then it has done something wrong. Israel apologies after whitewashes, fake reports, and lobbying for the exoneration. Israel will not admit that it violated international law in numerous occasions. Now, the USA could intervene in the civil war of Syria. Israel believes that Assad used chemical weapons against the rebels, which hasn't been conclusively proven at all. The overthrow of Assad would be much less destabilizing than an U.S./Israeli attack against Iran. Either scenario will be toxic though. These days are very similar to the run up of George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Time will tell what the future will hold indeed.



 

 

 

 

Human beings should have the right to access health care. The establishment exploits debt as a means to still wealth from the people who try to get their rightful, basic needs. That is why the Strike Debt Rolling Jubilee project exists. This came from Occupy Wall Street as a means to get more than one million dollars of medical debt as part of a weeklong national conversation on why human beings shouldn't be put in debt meeting their basic needs. The Rolling Jubilee raised funds to purchase bundles of debt for pennies on the dollar. They will erase their purchased debt. This is not like the industry of collection agencies that hound debtors until they repay.  Rolling Jubilee is a program that wants to be involved in human lives instead of sponsoring Wall Street interests. They believe that medical and other debt shouldn't exist because debt is part of a rigged system of mafia capitalism that extracts wealth from people who are trying to meet their basic needs. We know about our health care system and its high costs. The 2006 Massachusetts health care law was a blueprint for the national law that came about in 2010. We have a largely market based health system for so long that human beings in the States view that it is the way it should be. Most industrialized nations though have a publicly funded universal health system. They are paid for via taxes that cover virtually 100 percent of necessary care. Their systems have occurred for many decades and these nations spend half what the USA des per person on health care, cover everyone, and have better health outcomes. Employment based health care was growing in the USA after WWII. Later, Nixon and Ronald Reagan advanced a more investor owned health care service system. This evolved into more profit making sector and privatization of health care in for profit hospitals. HMOs came about for more than 30 years. We see now growing health disparities, poor health, and a high number of preventable deaths. Now, our health care system weakness is that when health insurance is tied to employment then only those working will be covered. Those who can't work because of illness can lose their coverage or struggle to afford it on the individual market. Some prices in the market for health are extremely high. When the bottom line is profit, not health, health insurers compete to attract those who are healthy in the first place. Then, the health insurers will find ways to restrict and deny payment for care through provider networks, authorization processes and out-of-pocket costs. Some in medical debt lack medical services. Some folks can't afford premiums, copays, deductibles, co-insurance, and uncovered services combined. People without insurance do not receive primary or preventive care, have worse outcomes when they do seek treatment, and are more likely to die. The same goes for those who have skimpy health insurance. Copays and deductibles cause people to delay or avoid necessary care. The new Affordable Care Act is controversial. I will admit that many legitimate items are in the law. The insurance companies influenced the creation of the law. More private insurance plans will come. Before the health care reform law was passed, some state-level insurance regulators to require insurance companies to provide more extensive coverage by spending 80 to 85 percent of premiums on health services rather than on profit and administration. The Obama law stopped those efforts by putting in place a law for the first time which said that 60-40 plans are acceptable. In a 60-40 plan, the insurance company pays 60 percent of the covered costs, while the enrollee pays 40 percent plus the full amount of uncovered costs, those not included in their policies. Enrollee costs include premiums, deductibles, copays, co-insurance and other out-of-pocket expenses. It is these out-of-pocket costs that quickly lead to health-care debt and bankruptcy. Some employers will drop health benefits and pay a penalty instead of offering health care to workers. The similar 2006 Massachusetts health care cut the number of uninsured in half, which is similar to what the ACA is expected to do. Yet, those who are still without coverage are mostly the working poor. The health insurance exchange has not brought the cost of premiums down and is not used by the majority of the public. The exchange is mainly used by those who receive a subsidy from the government because subsidized plans must be purchased from the exchange.  ACA lacks a public option. The Massachusetts law cut many safety net public health programs that dealt with mental health as a means to pay for subsidies. Massachusetts has the highest cost of health care in the nation. There is an alternative to this. We can have single payer health care system or a Medicare for All plan. That can cover all Americans from birth to death. This is affordable since the U.S. spends more per person on health care than any nation on Earth anyway. The majority of the public, most health professionals, etc. agree with a single payer health system.  The conservative Heritage Foundation ironically gave the blueprint for the Massachusetts law, which is similar to the Affordable Care Act now. Human rights and health care are superior to commodities in the market. So, folks are fighting against debt constructively and advocating single payer universal health care for human beings, which is very humane.


 

 

Benito Juarez was one of the famous men in Latin American history and world history. He was a full blooded Native American that wanted freedom from the imperialist Spanish Empire. He lived from March 1806 to July 18, 1872. He is of Zapotec origin from Oaxaca. He served five terms as President of Mexico. His grandparents raised him since his parents passed away from diabetes when he was only 3 years old. He called his parents as "Indios de la raza primitive del pais" or "Indians of the primitive race of the country." He was a lawyer by 1834. He worked as Governor of the state of Oaxaca from 1847 to 1852. He was in exile by 1853, because he objected to the corrupt military dictatorship of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. After Anna resignation, Mexico experienced huge liberal reforms. These reforms curtailed the power of the military and the Roman Catholic Church since theocracy has no place in a true, free and open society. The Ley Juarez of Juarez Law of 1855 declared all citizens equal before the laws including it restricted the privileges of the Catholic Church. Juarez later became the President of Mexico. America gave the Liberal forces in Mexico aid in order for them to defeat the Conservatives. The battles didn't end yet. The conservatives united with the French Emperor Napoleon III as a means to overthrow the Juarez government and create a theocratic Second Mexican Empire. Mexico defended itself from the French. Mexican forces under Ignacio Zaragoza had a victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862, which is celebrated annually as Cinco de Mayo on May 5. Once, the imperialist Maximilian temporarily conquered Mexico. Juarez fled to get some help. This was during the Civil War and the USA sympathized with Juarez as Maximilian's actions were a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine forbade hardcore European intervention in the Western Hemisphere that would damage the independence of that Hemisphere politically or socially. The US was tied in the Civil War during that time period. As late as March of 1865, then President Abraham Lincoln wanted Great Britain to be held accountable for its involvement in the Trent Affair. Andrew Johnson later used a naval blockade of Mexico in February of 1866 since he demanded the French to leave Mexico. France left in late 1866 since U.S. opposition and a threat from Prussia came about. They left in late 1866. The Emperor's forces were defeated and Maximilian lost support from even conservatives since he harbored some liberal views. Maximilian was captured by forces and he was executed. Juarez soon was elected President again on 1867 and 1871. He suppressed revolts and he died of a heart attack in 1872 while reading a newspaper at his desk in the National Palace in Mexico City. Benito Juarez was anti-Jesuit since the Papacy even in those days wanted Monarchy, theocracy, and a hatred of the freedom of conscience. His successor was Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada or his foreign minister. Benito Juarez is known for making marriage a civil contract and not a privilege granted by the Pope.  Therefore, Benito Juarez upheld the Constitution of 1857. That Constitution guaranteed the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. Benito Juarez will be known for fighting for democracy and wanting equal right for Native Americans or the indigenous peoples of Mexico. He agreed with the separation of church and state, an end to feudalism, and other reforms.

 

Adlai Stevenson is a mystery to some. He was right on some issues, but when you look at his total legacy, it is more moderate than what is suspected. He was less liberal than even then Senator John F. Kennedy on numerous issues. He was assaulted and spat upon. Of course, I don't agree with those things happening to him or any innocent man. Yet, we have to know the record about his political views. He was tepid in his criticism of Jim Crow or segregation. He refused to call for national health care, which even Harry Truman advocated. Adlai Stevenson wanted to love the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act. That law passed despite Truman's vetoes. Back in 1952, he even considered to vote for Dwight D. Eisenhower when he was a Republican. Many intellectuals supported him and ironically he won heavily from southern and border states. He lost the 1956 election in desiring a more tolerable campaign without mudslinging. On foreign policy, he was more progressive than war hawks. He loved the United Nations and wished for more international cooperation as a means to solve international problems during the Cold War. He was right to criticize Joseph McCarthy, because Joseph followed a faux patriotism that sought to ruin the lives of American citizens because of ideological disagreements. Like JFK, Adlai had a great oratory ability in communicating words to the wider populace. JFK and Adlai once didn't like each, but later learned to deal with each other as for the good of the country. One of the positives of Adlai Stevenson was that he was not an extremist in foreign affairs. He sincerely wanted peace in the world. There are more secrets about this situation. Adlai Stevenson's father or Adlai I was a Scottish Rite Freemason who wanted international courts to govern the affairs of nations. This came many decades later in the globe whether you agree with these courts or not. Adlai Stevenson II was one founder of the CFR in Chicago too. JFK by the 1960's changed and wanted dĆ©tente with the Soviet Union and Cuba. According to author Donald Gibson, he or John F. Kennedy was debating against Wall Street interests. Kennedy agreed with nationalist independent movements in the four corners of the world and he wanted to decrease U.S. involvement in Vietnam. As early as May 11, 1961, Kennedy issued the National Security Memorandum 52, which rejected an appeal from the Joints Chiefs of Staff, which wanted a deployment of U.S. ground troops in Vietnam. He didn't want U.S. troops to fight in combat missions in Vietnam like McGeorge Bundy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk wanted. The establishment hated him for it. JFK wanted economic investments in engineering, science, and technology as a means to grow the economy. He agreed with Social Security and grants for the growth of educational services in the confines of the United States of America. In other words, he wanted industry to build up the commonwealth. John F. Kennedy was an ally of Patrice Lumumba, Dag Hammarskjƶld, John Kenneth Galbraith, and other progressive leaders.

 

As we enter almost 15 years after 9/11, we get a clearer picture of who was responsible for 9/11. At a bare minimum, 9/11 was allowed to occur by the elite as a means to continue with the war on terror. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda wanted terrorism to exist in the world. The Saudis have been linked to al-Qaeda and at least two of the hijackers.   Former Saudi financier Khalid bin Mahfouz and Saudi national Yeslam bin Laden have been other supporters of Osama bin Laden, but also had close ties to the CIA. Bin Mahfouz, an important former BCCI director, was in business with the CIA's Frank Carlucci and George H. W. Bush. The U.S. government knew that the hijackers came into America by mid-2000. The reason is Mohammed Atta and other suicide pilots ended up taking lessons with 2 CIA linked flight schools. One flight school owner is a drug trafficker named Wally Hilliard. He was reportedly in direct contact with Bill Clinton and to a lesser extent with Saudi national Adnan Khashoggi. The Trilateral Commission had access to the impact and collapse floors of the North Tower. We know that AIG controlled the North Tower impact floors. Joseph Kaspurtys is the tenant of the South Tower's impact and collapse floors. Kasputys had direct and indirect ties to the Carlyle Group, both pre and post 9/11. Carlucci and former President George H. W. Bush were key folks of the company (Carlucci and Bush have a CIA background). In addition, Kasputys' associate Patrick Gross ran a company owned by the Carlyle Group. On the morning of 9/11, Carlucci, Bush, and James Baker met Shafig bin Laden (or the older half-brother of Osama bin Laden) in a Carlyle meeting. Michael Cherkasky and Jules Kroll once controlled the Kroll Associates or the primary WTC security consultant, in the 1990s and the years after 9/11. Kroll Associates was involved for revamping the entire WTC security system. Kroll has close ties to AIG, Blackstone, Marsh, and surprisingly, also to the British SAS. The tower's security system was ultimately ran by the building owner, the Port Authority, chaired by Lewis Eisenberg; and leasers Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy. Silverstein said the controversial pull it comment about Building Number Seven. One would expect Peter Peterson of the Blackstone Group, the mortgage holder on WTC 7, to have a say about security at that building also. In addition to Lewis Eisenberg, Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy, Peter Peterson also played a role in the ownership of the World Trade Center. David Rockefeller, Peter Peterson, Maurice Greenberg, and Henry Kissinger are friends and allies of each other. All four of these men exercised enormous control over the WTC complex in terms of overall building knowledge, history with the Port Authority, the debt on Building 7, security, as well as impact and collapse floors of the towers. So, the truth is that the 9/11 attack occurred via the terrorists. The Saudi and the Pakistani elites aided the hijackers. The State Department and the CIA elites knew of such attacks planned against America for years. We know that the Cercle Network included the P2, which were involved in assassinations, false flag terrorist actions, and other evils. The Pilgrim Society represents the State Department and most of the major media outlets in America alone. Very powerful Pilgrim Society members today are David Rockefeller, Peter Peterson, George Schultz, etc. The State Department and the CIA used the 9/11 attacks as a means to give a carte blanche excuse for them to restructure the entire Middle East via imperialism & a harsh form of globalization (not true international cooperation that benefits all of the people).

If this clip isn`t ĆØvident` enough try looking at NSAM 263 or the last press conference he held where he said he was pulling out of Vietnam and that troops were coming home for Xmas 63. Or count the myriad of number of times he used the word peace in speeches or public address.Or look at his non-interventionist attitudes towards Cuba, Argentina and Indonesia in keeping with the constitution.

News about Life




It is known that FEMA is a well-known group. They have done legitimate things in helping out victims of disasters and they have a more controversial side to put it lightly. FEMA is said by some that they are federalizing the police for domestic control. It is a known, documented fact that the DHS or the Department of Homeland Security has brought at least 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. Much of these forms are ammunition are outlawed by the Geneva Convention and some of the ammo include the types of ammunition that are specialized for snipers, fully automatic assault rifles, heavily armored assault vehicles with gun ports, and scores of riot gear. DHS acts as a domestic operation that violates human civil liberties all of the time. The DHS has now 30 years’ worth of ammunition. The question is why do they need these things? Well, we know. That is self-explanatory. We know that on FEMA's Center for Domestic Preparedness site, there is a listing for Program J called "Field Force Operations." It shows how the DHS has been training state and local law enforcement to prepare for successfully mitigate threats in their minds. They want to be prepared for NSSEs or National Special Security Events. The Center for Domestic Preparedness site mentions that following words: "....Activities included in this course are mass arrest procedures, team tactics, demonstrator tactics, crowd dynamics and mob behavior, use of riot control agents and less lethal munitions, and the employment of personal protective equipment (PPE).” The site wants the DHS to train in how the First, Fourth, Eight, and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution deals with civil action and disorder. Such a three day course on this matter takes places at Homeland Security's Center for Domestic Preparedness at Fort McClellan, Alabama. That class is related to another one called Field Force Extrication Tactics. That tactics class allows student to have “knowledge and skills regarding the tools and information necessary to extricate an individual safely from a protester device.” This course is not limited only to law enforcement, but emergency management, health, fire, EMTs, and public safety communications personnel among others. One issue discussed is, “Distinguishing the roles and responsibilities of the extrication team from other law enforcement assets.” Teams here are also referred to as “Civil Disobedience Teams” or CDTs. A description on the Texas Department of Public Safety site claims one of the Field Force Extrication Tactics course objectives is “To identify and protect protester rights as guaranteed by the First Amendment while still conducting extrication procedures.”  A human being who is in state and local law enforcement can register for the initial Field Force Operations. It has a four step process with a medical screening form. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety course, the participants must “have the ability to march 100 yards, lift 185 pounds with assistance, kneel on one knee, run 20 yards intermittently, stand for long periods of time (approximately 3 hours), shout commands, and don, properly seal, and doff an air purifying respirator.” These courses have been going on for years. Yet, the DHS is having bulk weapons, ammo, and riot gear purchases into much clearer perspective on what is going on. The DHS is gearing up and training our law enforcement for the mass arrests of the American people during emergency circumstances especially. We know that there is a leaked Army manual that talks about how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms, and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest. This training is also related to the Army's Internment and Resettlement Operations manual. That manual talks about how political dissidents will develop an appreciation of U.S. policies after they are reeducated by PSYOPS officers and detained in American prison camps called FEMA camps. Since the Sandy Hook shootings, extremists on both sides either want to scapegoat the Second Amendment or deprive innocent human beings of their liberties. The DHS for years have portrayed American gun owners and political enemies of the state as terrorists. The DHS has paid 2 million dollars for training aids to a supplier of non-traditional shooting targets (of actual shooting targets of pregnant women in nurseries, elderly people, and little kids referred to as “no more hesitation”). This is really immoral. The DHS announced its idea of public safety including spy drones on the public. Recently released government documents also show DHS has customized predator drones for domestic use to track cell phones and identify whether or not a citizen is carrying a gun. We know that the Patriot Act, the NDAA, the war crimes of the West, the NSA spying on even innocent citizens, and other tyrannical policies are evil and blatantly nefarious. We have every God-given to not only oppose unjust laws, but to constructively enhance the general welfare of all of society for our land is not a place where we sit at the sidelines. It is a land where our ancestors shed blood so that we could live here. We have the right to oppose injustice wherever it is located in the Earth. We have the right to do activism.




Cyprus is suffering as well economically. The European Central Bank told Cyprus that it want it to secure a €10 billion ($12.9 billion) European Union (EU) bailout by Monday, or face a cut-off of ECB credit and the bankruptcy of Cyprus’ banks and government. Cyprus' Parliament recently passed legislation granting the state emergency powers like capital controls to block the sudden outflows of money from Cyprus in the midst of mass protests and withdrawals of cast at banks' ATMs by Cypriot depositors. On Wednesday, the Cypriot Parliament voted 36-19 to reject an EU bailout demanding a €5.8 billion contribution from Cyprus. This was to be paid by taking money from all bank accounts in Cyprus (both from the small depositors and larger bank account holders). The larger account holders mostly came from the Russians and the British, who use the island country as an offshore financial center. The Cypriot bank workers feared losing their jobs. So, they protested in front of the Cypriot Parliament in Nicosia. They clashed with riot police. They held signs up. They read, “Merkel = fascist,” attacking German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose government was the key force behind EU demands that the bailout be paid for by confiscating money from Cypriot bank accounts. The government announced the creation of a so-called National Solidarity Fund. This entity will take money from Cypriot pensions, the Church of Cyprus, and donations from private citizens to help fund bank bailouts. Central Bank of Cyprus Governor Panicos Demetraiades announced that Laiki Bank would be restructured and merged with Bank of Cyprus. These banks (or the nation's 2 largest private banks) have been hit hard by the economic crisis and the EU austerity measures in nearby Greece. These banks have relied on emergency funding from the Central Bank of Cyprus in order for them to avoid bankruptcy. Cyprus uses the euro. Yet, the ECB can order its central bank to cut off the ELA or the Emergency Lending Assistance to the country's private banks. Cypriot Finance Minister Michalis Sarris and Energy Minister George Lakkotrypis were both in Moscow. They want Russia to fund Cyprus. They are even reportedly considering offering Russia access to offshore natural gas deposits near Cyprus, partial ownership of its financial sector, and the use of a naval base at Limassol. Russia's only naval base now in the Mediterranean is at the Tartus in nearby Syria. Syria is now a target of an US/EU led proxy war against the Russian backed Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich warned that the EU’s move to confiscate money from depositors in Cyprus undermined confidence in the global banking system: “If such a solution is possible in Cyprus, it’s possible everywhere … It will mean there’s no place to keep money and that the banking system has stopped working.” Russian banks like Alfra Bank and VTB will lose large sums of sums if Cyprus' banks collapse if Cypriot capital controls cut them off from their assets in Cyprus. The reactionary EU austerity measures in Cyprus have harmed Cypriot workers and pensioners. Now, we see the EU and Russia competing against each other. We see the war on terror as well. The looting of Cyprus is wrong. Some banks are moving their financial operations into Western Europe because of the economic crisis. Caps on deposits will not stabilize the situation according to financier Michael Pugh. He had worked in Russia and Cyprus. Some speculate if the financial collapse in Cyprus would harm the entire Eurozone. The market alone can't solve this issue. Only radical steps from the private and public sector can.

 

I don't believe in criminals using guns or owning them, yet it is a fact that disarming the people had a vicious, tyrannical history. Nothing is new under the sun indeed. Hypocrisy is the order of the day of so-called establishment pacifists. They yell about total pacifism, yet many of them lived in condos and enclosed locations. They don't expect cops to come into their homes, yet they want the state to be armed to the teeth. They want the state to use weapons to kill human beings overseas in the name of democracy (yet, they lecture us on pacifism and gun violence). I respect a pacifist if they are consistent in their views. They refuse to not want gun control from the crooked cops though. The state has no right to have a monopoly of arms at all. The elite maintain a monopoly of armed force in order to have their class rule. It is known that the ruling class has tried to disarm the population in the four corners of the Earth in periods of war or social struggle. It is known that when you have radical gun bans, only the criminals and the super-rich including the state will have access to them. Now, we all know the history of the Second Amendment. I do not agree with all of the Founders' motivations and belief systems in dealing with Second Amendment. Yet, the right to self-defense is a law of reality. This does not mean that we bow down to white supremacist culture that glamorizes violence that loves to harm animals for wanton abuse, and to view guns as equivalent to the smoking gun in solving our issues. Peace is superior to violence and guns are tools (which can be utilized for good or evil) not gods. For we see that some of our oppressors utilized the Second Amendment as an excuse to dominate early U.S. society. Yet, citizens have the right to be armed legally. In our history, slaves were denied arms, because of racists' fears of the slaves revolting against their cruel system of chattel slavery. The racist Chief Justice Taney admitted that he did not want black human beings to have rights or even the right to keep arms. We know that John Brown and his allies organized his raid on Harpers Ferry in Virginia during 1859. He used arms in an attempt to liberate human beings in bondage. In that time period, ex-slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, a close friend of Brown, openly defended a man’s “right of self-defense” when fugitive slaves were being hunted by agents of the slaveholders, even if this meant “shooting down his pursuers,” as occasionally happened. “Slavery is a system of brute force,” he said. “It must be met with its own weapons.” The Civil War came and brothers and sisters fought valiantly for freedom. When racists tried to kill the brothers and sisters in Brooklyn back in the 1860's by racist anti-draft mobs, these brothers and sisters used arms to defend themselves. This was in the North; so many Northerners were just a bigoted as some of the Southerners in that Civil War era.  During the period of Reconstruction, heroes fought against the oppressors. Black human beings wanted political power and the Confederates used reactionary Black Codes as means to deprive black human beings their God-given rights including the right to possess arms. An 1865 Florida statute, for instance, made it unlawful for “any Negro” to possess “firearms or ammunition of any kind,” the penalty for violation being the pillory and the whip. In response, the federal government’s Freedmen’s Bureau widely distributed circulars which read in part, “All men, without distinction of color, have the right to keep and bear arms to defend their homes, families or themselves.” Even President Grant opposed the Klan harming innocent human beings in the South. Union Army forces had to occupy Southern states even during Reconstruction since the Klan was just killing innocent human beings and harming society. Reconstruction officially ended with the evil Compromise of 1877. Black liberation was harmed. It took over 80 years after Reconstruction for black human beings to get some rights. Now, we do need gun safety reforms and guns shouldn't be owned by criminals or anyone with serious mental illness problems. On the other hand, it is hypocritical for those to yell about gun control when they ignore how British and U.S. cops brutalize youth for the sake of the Drug War or continuing the violation of human civil liberties. The background to the Firearms Act (1920) in the UK was aptly described by Joyce Lee Malcolm, author of the book To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right. In an article “Gun Control in England: The Tarnished Gold Standard” (saf.org), Malcolm observed: “It was fear of revolution, not crime, that resulted in the first serious gun controls. In 1920 the government faced massive labor disruption, feared a Bolshevik revolution, and worried about the return of thousands of soldiers traumatized by an especially brutal war.” Even the workers movements of the Chartists advance the right of the citizens to bear arms. To exclusively have the military, the police, or select individuals to bear arms is extremist and silly. They or the establishment refuse to discuss radical anti-poverty measures, but they want to continue the stop and frisk action. Yet, an unarmed population is at the mercy at anybody even tyrants as history shows.

 



The Caribbean culture is diverse with influences from Africa, Native American human beings, Europe, and from the four corners of the world. The rich history of the Caribbean is readily known and it is beautiful too. Educators, farmers, artists, merchants, traders, technological experts, theologians, etc. made a huge large part of the Caribbean region. Oral histories and cultural preservation is a great theme. Now, the tropical setting is a big portion of the Caribbean scene. This has influence the diverse music, architecture, attitudes, and customs. Some African customs are still followed in the Caribbean. Jamaica believes in a strong self-sufficient ethos. That is why Jamaica still has a strong democracy filled with Rastafarians, business leaders, political experts, and musicians. The Creole languages are heavily spoken in the Caribbean. Creole is a patois or language that is made up of an African syntax and European lexicon or words. Slaves created it to communicate with the European plantation owners. We can find French Creole with regional dialects in Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Dominica, and French Guyana. There is the language of Papiamento, which is a Dutch, Portuguese, English, and African blend. There is the language of Patwa as found in Jamaica. Jamaican Patwa is an English lexified creole language with Western African influences that is spoken mostly in Jamaica and the Jamaican diaspora. The Creole languages are known to be spoken by the poor, labor class, etc. Now, other human beings speak it more. There is Jamaican English and the Rastafarian use of English, so don't get things twisted. It is not a secret that old African culture and customs influence much of the religious worship, rhythmic dancing, singing, art, and even the thinking of the Caribbean. We know about Voodun in Haiti. We know about Junkanoo in the Bahamas. We understand bout the Rastafari in Jamaica. These were all influenced directly or indirectly by African movements. We know that reggae music and jerk cooking are African inspired gifts to the world from the Caribbean. There is the Eastern Caribbean soca tradition with the limbo dance ritual has roots on the slave ships that came to the colonies on the horrific Middle Passage or Maafa. You can't fully understand about Caribbean culture without learning about its music and dance. Music has been a very fixture of Caribbean heritage.

 

 

In our words, good is battling evil. Some folks believe that if a tyranny like in Nazi Germany came about, then they will recognize it. Yet, we live in a society filled with tyrannical laws, fascism, and militarism. We still have militarism, yet this system if nepotism existed long before 2008. It is part of human history wherefore the forces of good are battling against the forces of evil. The Patriot Act has many similarities to the Enabling Act. The massive war crimes in the war on terror from the West and others are similar to the war crimes done by the Axis Powers. These modern 21st century war crimes are not just drone attacks, but cluster bombs and wars of aggression (in violation of national and international laws). The workers have been harmed worldwide via austerity measures and economic exploitation. This subsequent exploitation generates a widening of economic inequality. Here, we live in police state conditions here. In the UK, habeas corpus is virtually gone. In the States, in NYC, human beings can be illegally searched via the stop and frisk policy. In Detroit, some want some unitary leaders to control the political functions of the entire city indeed.  In our modern day society, we must continue to think critically about issues. These issues are economic, political, social, and other components of intellectual thinking. Too many human beings in the world, not only in the West, do not understand the premise of right and wrong. When you have moral relativism, society will exist in chaos or in a nihilistic capacity. When you have threats like SOPA, the NDAA, the Patriot Act, and other evil laws, then you have a problem in America too. We have an issue too when some want to see human beings as aliens or less than a member of the human race. The lie that we need to reduce America's in a radical fashion is a scam by some in trying to loot the workers' tax money and give it to the banksters and imperialists. We have poisoned water globally, corporate funded GMOs, and a brutal criminal justice system (that harms especially the poor of every color). The existence of evil is real. Evil tries to destroy the essence of goodness in society.  One issue now is that some human beings see this current world as normal or that everything is okay. The CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies spying on American citizens without warrants or on trumped up charges is not normal. When Agribusiness is involved in dangerous GM seeds, then that is not normal. So, we should inform ourselves and we have the responsibility in doing something constructive in helping the human race from activism to building a real infrastructure that can solve our problems.
