COMMENTARY

Liberty: The ability of individuals to have agency (control over their own actions). So is liberty just freedom from tyranny of a repressive, authoritarian government or does it also include the tyranny of GMO’s, Chemtrails, Vaccines, Fluoride or a Mainstream Media bent on serving their oligarch masters?

We at The Liberty Beacon project say “All the above” and more! It is our stated mission to act as a Beacon for all who yearn for liberty by bringing you the latest information on any and all attacks on our ability to have control over our own destiny including our inalienable right to live a healthy life.

We thank you for all your past support and we wish to tell you there is much more on the horizon for this project including an additional website and several new podcast shows. Please join us in this struggle and LIVE FREE !!!

ARE YOU A COMPASSIONATE PERSON? OF COURSE YOU ARE. WHEN YOU CAN, DO YOU LIKE TO HELP OTHERS? OF COURSE YOU DO. WOULDN’T LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FEED THE HOMELESS WITHOUT THE THREAT OF BEING ARRESTED AND GETTING JAIL TIME?

WELL, SIX CITIES HAVE ACTULLY MADE IT ILLEGAL TO FEED YOUR FELLOW MAN!!! THESE CITIES ARE NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, DALLAS, HOUSTON, LAS VAGAS, AND ORLANDO. ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT IN AMERICA, ANYWHERE FROM 700,000 TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE CAN BE HOMELESS. 3.5 MILLION PEOPLE WILL EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS IN A GIVEN YEAR, AND OVER A MILLION OF THEM WILL BE CHILDREN!!!

THE SOARING HOME FORECLOSURE REPOSSIONS ARE TO BLAME. BANKS ARE FORECLOSING ON LOANS THAT THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING IN THE FIRST PLACE. HIGH RATES OF HOMELESSNESS REVEAL THE ROTTEN FRUITS OF A BROKEN SOCIETY THAT IS SPIRITUALLY IMMATURE. THE TYPICAL FRUITS OF THE TRICKY BANKSTERS. BEING HOMELESS AND POOR IS NOT A CRIME!!! NOR IS TRYING TO FEED THEM, AND I DON’T CARE THE CIRCUMSTANCE!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SYSTEM IS OBVIOUSLY DESIGNED TO PUT THEM THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THESE PEOPLE ARE OUR FELLOW MAN AND THEY ARE VICTIMS BY DESIGN. BARBARIC, DRACONIAN LAWS LIKE CRIMINALIZING FEEDING THE HOMELESS ARE COMPLETELY UNCOMPASSIONATE AND THEREFORE UNACCEPTABLE!!! WE MUST ABOLISH ALL UNCOMPASSIONATE LAWS THAT INSTIGATE SUFFERING. IN THE SAME MANNER THAT WE CAN TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY AND STOP DRINKING THE WATER WITH THE FLOURIDE IN IT, WE CAN ALSO CHANGE THESE INSANE LAWS RIGHT NOW!!!

ABOLISH ALL UNCOMPASSIONATE LAWS RIGHT NOW!!! I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY MAKES THESE KINDS OF LAWS IN THE FIRST PLACE? AND WORSE YET, WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY ALLOWS THESE TYPES OF LAWS TO PERSIST? WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TYPE OF BARBARIC BEHAVIOR BY THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE, PERIOD!!!

THESE POOR PEOPLE ARE OUR FAMILY. IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO THEM, IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU OR SOMEONE DEAR TO YOU. WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS FALSE REALITY THEME OF SEPARATION THAT THE SELL OUT CORPARATE RUN MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS PLACED OVER OUR HEADS AND ON TO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ALL CONNECTED WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WE ALL EFFECT EACH OTHER. IF WE ALLOW THIS DRACONIAN BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE, IT WILL FALL BACK ON US AND INDEED ALREADY IS.

American Cancer Society argues new findings, that dangers from environmental toxins are greatly underestimated.

(SALEM, Ore.) – The jig is up on the real danger of contracting cancer from environmental contamination; it is as real as the struggle of every servicemember in the nation who has fought this deadly affliction. The same as every mother, father, son and daughter.

I am not a doctor, nothing close. However, I am a news reporter who happens to keep company with some fantastic physicians and scientists who know a great deal about this. In recent years, along with a team of experts and cancer survivors, I have studied the effects of various carcinogenic toxins and their relationship to cancer. I was a Marine at a base in California, the now-closed El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, which is an environmental monster; an EPA Superfund site – that has contributed to the deaths and illnesses of more Marines than we can, as of yet, adequately tabulate.

Those who had to live with chemicals known as TCE (trichloroethylene) and PCE (perchloroethylene), benzene and other toxins, as we Marines did, do not question whether cancer is caused by deadly particulate matter that is contacted through both air and water. We have seen and known personally, too many of the often deadly results.

Semper fi brothers, you are not forgotten.

So now President Carter convenes a panel that finally, once and for all, states that this is the case; environmental hazards cause cancer, and I have a feeling reaching this conclusion wasn’t rocket science.

Follow the Money Trail

Who stands to lose? How could a group stand to lose? Here is the dirty secret of the big cancer groups; they receive funding from the polluters who are kind enough to wreck our environment and make it dangerous in the first place. They hide behind “positions” that state in essence, that the deadly polluters are somehow not at fault, and as a result the financial support continues, and their mission erodes.

Some would call it “hush money”.

Our Environmental Reporter in Laguna Beach, Roger Butow, has a theory about groups like the American Cancer Society that make a great deal of sense. That is that almost every time, their effectiveness is limited by years. Roger believes ten years is about it, after that groups lose sight of their missions, and make great compromises to maintain revenue flows, which is a completely self-defeating process.

I have had one particular question about the American Cancer Society and their figures relating to male breast cancer. Interestingly, their figures coincide with the figures offered by the Marines, in their explanation of a very unusual problem at another Marine base, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, which is currently active and very busy.

At this base, more than 55 men have developed breast cancer. Most people will live their lives without ever knowing a man with breast cancer. Several dozen cases out of one particular place is extremely unusual by any standard. Still, if you take the numbers and analyze them with ACS figures, it more or less adds up. If their figures were correct, there would be a men everywhere suffering from breast cancer, yet there are not.

I had an in-depth conversation with a member of their public affairs team several months ago, and this individual from the American Cancer Society could not explain, and my questions were met with agreement, “huh?’s” and “wow!’s”, and other small things to let me know that my eyes were not the only ones seeing these seeming inconsistencies. A return call with more information from the American Cancer Society never came.

In our report a few days ago about President Carter’s Cancer Panel, it was stated that the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer in recent years finds that the true burden of environmentally-induced cancer is greatly underestimated.

The Panel’s report, “Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now,” concludes that while environmental exposure is not a new front on the war on cancer, the grievous harm from this group of carcinogens has not been addressed adequately by the National Cancer Program.

LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., M.D., chair of the Panel, said, “There remains a great deal to be done to identify the many existing but unrecognized environmental carcinogens and eliminate those that are known from our daily lives – our workplaces, schools and homes.”

Of course this ultimately could mean responsibility, and God forbid, liability for these grand scale polluters. I’ll bet the phone calls started flying when the Carter Panel report came out.

The American Cancer Society’s Michael Thun, V.P. Emeritus, Epidemiology & Surv. Research at the ACS National Home Office, almost immediately criticized these unpopular findings of the Carter Panel. Regarding these top level researchers, convened by a U.S. President, Thun said, “the perspective of the report is unbalanced, in that it communicates that pollution is the major cause of cancer and that the impact of pollution on cancer has been greatly underestimated.”

Apparently unwilling to accept these long awaited findings, Thun said, “In fact, the precise proportion of cancers related to environmental exposure has been debated for nearly 30 years. And while there is no doubt exposure to chemicals has some bearing on cancer risk, the level of risk is certainly far below other identified cancer risks, like tobacco, nutrition, physical activity, and obesity.”

While Thun says, “There is no doubt that environmental pollution is an important issue to address to improve the lives of Americans,” he continues by stating, “it would be unfortunate if people came away with the message that the chemicals in the environment are the most important cause of cancer at the expense of those lifestyle factors, like tobacco, physical activity, nutrition, and obesity, that have by far the most potential in reducing cancer deaths.”

So Thun thinks it is more important to eat three squares and walk every day, than to avoid drinking water inadvertently laced with a killer chemical like TCE, a known cancer causing agent.

The sad twisted little joke we El Toro Marines now toss back and forth is, “Would you like a bit of TCE with your perchlorate today?” Perchlorate is an ingredient associated with military ordinance, another lovely spectacle at the old Marine air base.

Mr. Thun would well serve groups like the Marines by doing everything possible in his position, to expose the problems that are causing cancer in this country. I don’t mind speaking for Marines, since so many are no longer here to state their own case.

It isn’t just TCE, PCE, benzene and perchlorate either… those who served in Vietnam have had to fight tooth and nail for years for just a taste of justice regarding Agent Orange contamination, that wonderful gift of Monsanto that keeps on giving, death and birth defects in Vietnam. These criminal bastards have never had to atone for their sins, and groups like ACS have accepted their dirty blood money.

It seems a simple case of protecting your own interests, that is what author Kevin Trudeau states in his book, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease.

“Because these associations are dependent on the money they receive from Monsanto, they have made a deal with Monsanto to not criticize aspartame to the food industry and, more shockingly, they are actually required to endorse Monsanto’s products! Can you see why you can never believe anything you hear from any of these “associations”? Every single association, from the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the American Diabetic Association, and on and on and on all receive money from special interest groups.”

I’m not even mentioning something Monsanto is behind that may be the scariest thing of all; genetically modified patented food.

I think the American Cancer Society is entering what you might call, ‘an inspired act of new, real transparency’. But it isn’t because they are trying to make things better, it is because President Carter’s panel lifted the veil off the operation. Jill McElheney is a mom who has stood by her son as he has fought his own battle with cancer. She wrote to Thun and communicated her disappointment with his reaction to these new findings.

Seven-year-old Jarrett McElheney sits in a hammock with his mother, Jill, on a recent afternoon. At an Atlanta symposium this week, the head of the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Environmental Health recognized Jill McElheney for her persistence in looking for a cause for his leukemia, now in remission.

“My deep distrust is not only with American Cancer Society. The tentacles of poisoned profits are far reaching. On our journeys in life, if we seek the truth with all our hearts, I think the truth continues to present itself. As I have discovered, our life long images of reality can be shattered and painful, but we have a Creator whose expertise is resurrection.”

Jill concluded her note by stating, “In surveying history, a common thread of goodness is weaving throughout time bringing darkness to light. In that light and goodness, I think we find our purpose and being.”

Thun responded to McElheney by stating, “Your deep distrust of the American Cancer Society saddens me.”

Denying that her concerns about a lack of transparency and secret meetings had validity, Thun stated, “The idea that we are hiding something that would bring about an important reduction in cancer is incorrect and insulting.”

While Thun worries about nutrition and the tobacco industry, McElheney is worried about a somewhat unknown place called Anniston, Alabama, the is very likely the most polluted town in America, largely due to racism and economic disadvantage. I spent a couple of hours with a young man who was instrumental in bringing the story into the light, and I had an attorney in Memphis share the horror story of this place with me a few years ago. I will rely on Wikipedia for this though:

They explain that Anniston in 2002, became the scene of an investigation by 60 minutes. The program revealed Anniston had been among the most toxic cities in the country. The source of local contamination was a Monsanto chemical factory, which closed years ago. The EPA description of the site reads in part:

“The Anniston PCB site consists of residential, commercial, and public properties located in and around Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama, that contain or may contain hazardous substances, including polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impacted media. The Site is not listed on the NPL, but is considered to be a NPL-caliber site. Solutia Inc.’s Anniston plant encompasses approximately 70 acres of land and is located about 1 mile west of downtown Anniston, Alabama. The plant is bounded to the north by the Norfolk Southern and Erie railroads, to the east by Clydesdale Avenue, to the west by First Avenue, and to the south by U.S. Highway 202. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were produced at the plant from 1929 until 1971.”

McElheney replied to Thun by citing an article, Anniston Star, Alabama that states, “Medical studies performed in Anniston have determined many residents have higher concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their blood than most other people in the world.” That was published just days ago, on 8 May 2010.

She said to Thun, “Thank you for your response. Given the support ACS received from the people of Anniston, AL in their Relay for Life this week, maybe ACS could financially support research there? In doing so, ACS will commit to a better understanding of environmental exposure to cancer, and embrace the Presidential Cancer Panel’s call to action?”

We’ll be monitoring this situation to see what happens, there is no need for the mainstream media to hold back in this area. There are too many Americans sick from Monsanto for this to go on a single day longer.

President Carter’s Cancer Panel consists of three members appointed by the President. Current members include LaSalle D. Leffall, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., Howard University; and Margaret L. Kripke, Ph.D., University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Panel, established by the National Cancer Act of 1971, is charged with monitoring the National Cancer Program and reporting annually to the President on any barriers to its execution.

Lets face the fact that we as Americans, have become so desensitized to the concept of perpetual war and mass killing as to believe this is the way the world is supposed to be while an entire region of the world suffers us on a daily basis, spurred on by greed, elitist endeavors, and our governments belief that Americans have the right, indeed the duty, to make the world over in our image. We are now at a point where an entire generation of Americans has been raised to think of this as the norm; they think nothing of it, they ignore it and this is very dangerous!

These wars are not being fought for freedom because, in fact, our freedom has never been in jeopardy from our self proclaimed and derived enemies! These wars are not being fought for ideology or religion, as we see in our very own country the peaceful coexistence of just about every culture on this planet! These wars are being fought for the advancement of an elitist agenda bent on the total domination of the global community! Their motives encompassing money, resources, and just plain old power.

We, as a nation, have, in the last sixty years, managed to turn a large portion of the worlds population into haters Have you even stopped to consider that if we were not in their lands killing them and their children they would not be wanting to kill us? Why are they not bombing Norway, Australia, Iceland, Brazil? Before this country took on the self proclaimed role of the “conscience of the world” based on an elite feeling of self righteousness there was no widespread global terrorist issue.

 
Starting with our imperialistic intervention in Iran in the fifties and moving forward to today, we have tried to force our version of the world “as it should be” down the throats of every country we disagree with on moral or political issues. We, as a great and moral country (???), have ignored their sovereignty and right for self determination! We have raped entire nations for their national treasure (oil, lithium, opium, etc…) and sought to instill leaders friendly to us but contrary to their national mindset! WE are personally responsible for an entire generation of self proclaimed freedom fighters bent on the destruction of a satanic invader in their lands, and have perpetuated this feeling of hatred and determination to see this goal accomplished.

Please answer one question: What would you do if this was happening in America? And if you say “This can not happen in America” I will reply “You have just made my point”. Please wake up! The alarm clock is screaming and you are going to be late for the moral damning of America!

Daniel Pipes, one of the architects of the U.S. strategy of “modernizing the Middle East through military intervention,” set out his “unacceptable views” involving “lovelessness and violence” in his latest article in the Washington Times. Pipes reiterated his “mentally defective” thesis that prolongation of the civil war in Syria and no winner emerging from it would not be the most desirable result for the U.S.

The Aim Is Endless Wars and Terror

182549_131789640351099_1037832634_n

According to Pipes, the Middle East must be constantly worn down and weakened by constant wars that nobody wins. All the elements in the Middle East, that Pipes foolishly regards as “satanic forces,” will represent less of a threat to the West so long as they keep fighting among themselves. Pipes raised this thesis to an even more terrible level, ruthlessly suggesting that whichever of the combatants is weaker is the one that should be supported and that any of the sides can thus be prevented from winning.

As evidence for his thesis, Pipes cites Franklin D. Roosevelt’s collaboration with Stalin against Nazi Germany in World War II and the support given by the U.S. to Saddam Hussein in the 1980-1988 Iran Iraq war. In his eyes, Western imperialism must back the weakened Assad until equilibrium is established, after which a cycle of the backing the other side must be set up.

Yet this inhuman and cruel thesis, of “protecting against violence by creating violence,” is illogical, irrational and also diametrically opposed to America’s own interests, stance and values.

Pipes’ Errors

By seeking encouragement of fighting in the Middle East, Daniel Pipes is proposing policies of war, forerunners to the slaughter of guiltless “angelic” children, women, the elderly and the defenseless. These policies of war will do no more than incite hatred and rage.

In a Middle East in a state of peace, the Western world will be able to do business as it likes, and underground resources will be used in security. Pipes should offer rational and logical theses, instead of ones that will involve the Middle East in constant bloodshed, put weapons in the hands of billions all over the world and damage peace and the global economy with methods that will involve tens of thousands of troops everywhere. The establishment of a union in the Middle East, under the leadership of a country such as Turkey, a secular state of law with an advanced democracy, will also suit the interests of America and the West and Israel.

If Daniel Pipes wishes to prevent radicalism, he must realize that this can be done intellectually, must support the strengthening of Turkey, the only country in a position to undertake this intellectual mission and must help a “Union of Middle Eastern Countries” along EU lines, dealing with Turkey in the name of that union. The USA and the whole world will then be able to relax. The method that will put an end to terror and radicalism is the criticism of perverse ideologies with scientific facts and the dissemination of love.

America is a country that has assumed the mission of exporting liberty, peace and democracy to the world. People like Pipes, who propose theses that would limit people’s freedom and space to live, are causing the USA to be falsely and negatively perceived across the world. Pipes is recommending policies that are sufficiently ruthless as to mean the eradication of countries and innocent people in a vast swath of territory in order to defeat those who favor violence. In the same way that violence can never put an end to violence, it will only encourage hatred, rage and terror and cause them to grow still further.

The USA is a country of believers in the Injil and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). The Injil says, “always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. (I Thessalonians, 5/15) Christianity is opposed to war.

As we have seen, the most rational thing for a country that is a leader of the Christian world to do is to adopt policies of thinkers who wish to build love and peace, rather than those who desire violence and bloodshed.

Evangelicals believe that the Messiah, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in other words, will return to Earth and lead people to the true path, and that peace will thus prevail. In that case, what evangelicals need to do is to respect differences of belief and seek means of drawing closer to Muslims and Jews who believe in the one Allah on the basis of ‘LA ILAHE ILLALLAH.’ What Christians need to do is to make a major effort to fill the world with peace, brotherhood, compassion and love, in the same way they wish to see the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

Radicalism, marginalism and terror grow on the basis of numerous perverse, supposedly scientific and nonsensical philosophies. There is no way of putting an end to terror and violence in the world without putting an end to the feelings of violence in people’s heads. Instead of proposing theses that will just encourage war, Pipes should aim at an intellectual struggle for a philosophy of love that will install peace across the world.

It must not be forgotten that that 20th and 21st centuries were perhaps the darkest time in human history, in which hundreds of millions of people died and peace and tranquility were literally wiped from the face of the world. Terrible experience was acquired during that time that outcomes resulting from peace and negotiation cannot be obtained from war and killing. Therefore, civilized people in our own day but learn from the slaughter caused by war and engage in activity for the building of world peace. Leaders of all the countries in the world and politicians must solve problems “through civilized and humane means” in the age in which we are living.

Islamic Countries Must Strongly Avoid Artificial and Ethnic Divisions

As we have seen, hundreds of negative projects are being fabricated with regard to the Middle East and Islamic countries.

Sinister forces that long for Armageddon and major war in the Middle East, wish to weaken, divide and fragment all the countries in the region, and especially Turkey.

Although the plot against Turkey waged by means of the separatist terror organization seems to have been foiled for now, structures such as autonomy and federation, that mean postmodern division, will merely make the work of people who think like Daniel Pipes very much easier.

The times, climate and circumstances are not such as to be able to bear even the slightest division. What we need to do is to bind tight to one another with a greater self-sacrifice and love, and the most advanced democracy, than ever before, and for believers to establish a union of hearts

One thing I have noticed about my three grandkids, from the oldest, six, to the youngest, two, they all look into your eyes when talking with you. Most children do not, and I guess I owe this amazing phenomena to my daughter and husband’s loving guiding hand.

It had started to rain, as I remember, and we were all trapped inside. I was sitting on my sofa taking a break from playing with stuffed animals and dress-up, reading my newspaper. From the side of my eye I saw a little dimpled hand reach out and touch my forehead. “Why are you frowning Pops? What’s wrong?”

I looked up to see her blue eyes squinting at me with four-year-old concern… And with a flash of wonder realized that her tiny fingers had touched my frown, and so I immediately gave her a big smile. “Oh, it’s nothing darling!” I said. “Pops is just trying to study his newspaper. I’m trying to learn what it says.” And to me, this seemed to console her, as she gave me a big smile too. She turned and again sat down on the carpet with her big brother to play Legos… but turned to look at me again, and with something like an afterthought she said: “You’re learning about sad things Pops?”

But she didn’t want an answer for that. All she wanted was to build a red wall with her lego set, and hoped that I would sit with them and help. And as I searched the shoe box for another red cube to snap together, I felt a rush of fear sweep through me, a chill to the very bone, and I struggled with everything I had to hide it. I saw their world unfolding, and mine unraveling, and I thought of the possibility that no matter how much I tried, I could not stop it. It was too big. A new world was being created on the ashes of the old, a dismantling of the country I thought my own.

I saw them in debt, a debt that could never be paid. I saw that they would never have a moment of complete solitude, or privacy, or liberty, or ever know truth. I saw that they would be slaves to a system that would attempt to project itself in their minds as an original thought, with a scientifically propagandized methodology long proven to coerce and control. I saw God displaced by technology without bounds, science without ethics, and a collective ego without imagination, or free expression. I saw a system designed to manage their thoughts, attempting to intimately own their very souls. And I saw, from my own eyes, bleary with tears held in check, and a lump in my throat from dread, that I was the only thing standing in the way. Me, Pops.

As I look back over my life, and what by the grace of God I have created, I find myself responsible for this world. Just as I have taken responsibility for my own action, so too do I take responsibility for my inaction. I should have stood up long ago. I should have studied more, tried harder, and got involved. And from deep inside of my heart, from a place that holds all of the dusty regrets shelved and tightly sealed, to keep my sanity, I can only say, I’m so very sorry. I’m so sorry my little ones. And I know that most likely by the time you realize this world for what it is, I’ll be long gone.

I hope you live in a world of enlightenment, illuminated by truth, and your hearts are full of love and joy. If you have found this around you, I could rest easy in eternity, because I know by my study that the liberty that creates this is not free, and that someone bled to give it to you. So know this, I love you more than anything in this world, and I’ll kept trying until my dying day, just as I know you will for your own grandkids, by the grace of God.

Pops

This week Israel began bombing various military targets in Syria. This air assault was a source of hope for some, anger for others and fear for still others. There are complex feelings in the region about Israel’s intervention in Syria, but how would it be more rational to evaluate this intervention for the Syrian people?

The greatest concerns of the international community regarding intervention in Syria were over chemical weapons and the state’s heavy weapons falling into the hands of radical groups within the opposition after Assad. None of us can deny the existence of radical elements within the opposition. But there are two points we need to consider here:

First, nobody can also deny that radical elements are also supporting the regime. Hizbullah is supporting Assad as much as, and maybe more than, al-Qaida is supporting the opposition. Nasrallah’s calls on various Lebanon-based TV channels that “We will not let Assad be defeated” are no secret to any of us.

Second, might we not have failed to fully reflect on the meaning of radical? Who is radical? We call radicals people who act illogically, kill others, refuse to compromise if their own wishes are rejected, who do not believe in democracy and who spurn international law. Why do we not want al-Qaida for Syria? Because we can foresee that they will act as set out above. Yet do the past two years not show us that the Assad regime is also a radical, and possibly psychopathological, one? In that case, is the fear over chemical weapons falling into the hands of radicals not meaningless? I have some news for those who still think that Assad should not be touched. Chemical weapons are already in the hands of radicals.

When, a month ago, I wrote that Israel could stop Assad, many people thought I must be suffering from sleep deprivation. Yet this was as clear as day when romanticism was set aside and all the facts evaluated in an unbiased manner. The reaction from the Muslim world, and particularly Arab states, to Israel’s intervention in Syria was partly inappropriate. If there is a fire somewhere, it does not really matter who is coming to put it out. The priority is for the fire to be put out. No matter what Middle East states may think, Israel is our neighbor in the Middle East and an important country in the region. I said the reaction was partly inappropriate, because it is vitally important for this intervention by Israel to be carried out without loss of life. For example, it could be decided to hit an airfield to prevent aerial attacks, but the tower there should not be hit because there are usually people in such communication towers. But runways can be hit to prevent planes taking off, as there are not usually many people on runways and it is easy to choose a time when there will be none there. Or if a road is being used for the transfer of weapons, that road should be hit. The regime can be forced into a corner by hitting bridges. But it is exceedingly important for all the targets to be struck when there are no people around them. Loss of life in an intervention undertaken to prevent greater loss of life shows the crudeness of the method employed. Since we have sufficient advanced technology and the means to obtain information by land from Syria, loss of life in future interventions can be prevented. We must not forget that two years have gone by since the regime began slaughtering its own people, and 70,000 people have since lost their lives, with 3 million Syrians having to relocate and at least 1 million being forced to flee the country entirely. It is not too late for Israel to act in concert with Turkey with a promise to observe Russian interests in Syria.

There is now an upper limit to the IQ (inrelligence) you can posses to be accepted into most law enforcement agencies (fact) but your aggressiveness quotient must be high (bully). I AM aware not all law enforcement officers are dumb bully’s (there are still great cops) but eventually they will retire or be forced out.

When the Supreme Court ruled the city of Chicago had the right to reject candidates scoring too high on the entrance exam … the seed of tyranny was planted, because those of superior intellect will question tyrannical orders whereas those with an average or below intellect are much more prone to obey orders.

Police forces across this nation are being nationalized through grants and equipment usually reserved for the military in the past and being trained to act as the forward guard (army) for the federal government … is the picture coming into focus? WAKE UP !!!

Let us start this series off by addressing the fallacy that just about any modern day national level politician (Senator, Congressman, President) participating in the the two party system (with a few very rare exceptions) is a true blue all American representative of the unwashed masses, having only their constituents well being at heart. Lets shed light on the fact that these politicians neither adhere to the published party platform, represent the citizens who elected them, or abide by any code of ethics or morals that does not directly benefit or may prove a detriment to themselves or more importantly, their masters.

 

This premise is based on the institution of legislation such as the Patriot Act and the Indefinite Detention clause in the NDAA, both passed and ratified on multiple occasions eliminating their passage as a one time mistake, and much more recent tyranny both legislated and by executive order, all aimed squarely at you and me. We must also consider the affordable healthcare act (Obama care) which is anything but affordable and exempts all members of Congress and their families … why if this is such good deal for Americans?  To consider that these individuals are dedicated to We The People and not their own or their masters gains is a misconception shared by so many Americans who trustingly but mistakenly assume that a candidate’s beliefs are bound to their political parties platform or indeed the ideals of the grass roots individuals who make up the party. To this charade the retort can only be … bull crap!

 

The labels Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Progressive or NEOCON are simply tools to engage and divide the masses, to play us against one another and to keep us distracted while the true tyranny is perpetrated, hidden in plain sight. Even those who would claim these titles in leadership are but pawns in a game We The People are never to be permitted to win. So let us awaken and delve into the misdirection, hypocrisy and tyranny disguised as patriotism and the deceitfully false show of concern for the welfare of America, because to continue in ignorance sounds the death toll for this once great nation now in crisis.

 

To help demonstrate the validity of this argument let us examine our two most recent Presidents representing each of the parties, George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama. These two modern day politicians could not possibly be more different in every definable way, or so, through rhetoric and platform, we are purposely deceived into believing. But if we examine their deeds then reality is a shocking wake up call for those who have been lulled into these beliefs by the lies and misdirections of the puppet masters via their most powerful and effective propaganda tool, the mainstream media (MSM)!

 

(Part 1) Characterization (snapshot) of the Bush presidency.

 

We start with Bush quite in character as a right wing neo-conservative kowtowing to the Corporate Military Industrial Complex which boomed under his administration. Immediately following the 9/11 incident (another story of tyranny, lies and deceit to be told later in this series), this country geared up for war spurred on by the fervent rhetoric of his administration! Cries of revenge and retaliation where contained in every speech and public address. The American people where whipped into a patriotic froth waving flags and looking to exact their pound of flesh! Any Muslim regardless of their actual nationality or allegiance was looked at with unwarranted (based on blatant lies) fear. Fear is the most effective form of control over mans mind ever devised by mans mind and serves only to perpetuate hate and protracted ignorance. This gave rise to the, most expensive, expansive and destructive manhunt in the history of this planet, but was in reality a perfectly choreographed and preplanned exercise in smoke and mirrors, lies and deceit.

 

No price in national treasure, respect or even human life was too large to be suffered in order to find and kill Osama Bin Laden, the devil incarnate! So we pumped up the military machine, and proceeded to invade and occupy Afghanistan. After an extended period of time Bin Lauden was thought to have escaped through the mountain passes of  Tora Bora into Pakistan. We did not leave Afghanistan but settled in to rebuild the country as we, or to be more precise, the puppet masters thought it should be, all the while raping its society for all the gains the international banking cabal and the soulless corporate criminal elements could extract from it and a new term was coined, Nation Building. At this point we also began performing cross border raids into Pakistan another sovereign nation and sending Predator drones in to kill anyone who opposed us or our goals, all in the name of finding someone we where being told at the time was already dead (more on this later in the series).

 

Next we were told that Iraq was an eminent threat to our national security because they had weapons of mass destruction including the makings of a nuclear bomb, even though the information available to the administration at the time showed conclusively that Iraq and Sadam Hussein where willing to do anything to avoid war with the USA. So again the nation was lied to and whipped into a frenzy to support another invasion of a sovereign nation on what we where told was a mission of extreme patriotic importance, justified by the need to protect the homeland … really? Protect it from who, or what? It seems very clear to us now these are the questions many of us should have been asking but the finely tuned engine of propaganda (the MSM) was very effective and successful in quelling any dissenting rhetoric.

 

Again no price in national treasure respect or human life (both American and Iraqi) was to be spared. We marched in and decimated a county where the people enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in that part of the world and bombed it back to the stone age, eventually killing millions and poisoning generations to come through the massive utilization of depleted uranium ammunition. And guess what, no weapons of mass destruction! At this point you would think any decent peace loving nation would have left but not us. Again we settled in for another long session of nation building, again raping its society for all the gains the international banking cabal and corporate vultures could extract from it, and contrary to the lies being told, we remain in both country’s, in force to this day!

 

The winners: The military industrial complex who continue to make billions from these wars. The CIA drug lords who now control 90% of the worlds very lucrative heroin markets through the poppy fields in Afghanistan that thrive with US military protection. The oil companies who again with the protection of American military might firmly entrenched in the region, began the process of building a pipeline through these occupied nations to control the sweet crude oil needed to prop up the failing petro-dollar. The international banking cabals who immediately set up central banks in these countries. The corporate power brokers who continue to suck the life’s blood out of anything worth stealing from these sovereign nations economies. And the crooked politicians who supported these unnecessary wars and in turn profited from them in favor or treasure.

 

The losers: The people of the sovereign nations we invaded and occupy with millions of innocent civilians dead, maimed for life or displaced from homes that no longer exist, and the massive numbers of stillbirths and birth defects that will plague these nations for many generations to come. The American people with well over a trillion dollars wasted on these imperialistic endeavors each year that this madness continues. The dead American servicemen who where deceived into believing they where giving their lives to protect a homeland that was never in danger to start with. And the respect for this country once seen by the world as Camelot or the shining castle on top of the hill and now thought of as the eight hundred pound gorilla/bully on the block, hated and feared as even the old USSR never was!

 

How many Americans are even aware that these wars where all planned in detail in the mid to late 1990′s during the Clinton years (fact). Seven nations including Afghanistan and Iraq where put on a hit list, five of these nations being in the middle east and all with one thing in common … they had no central banking system tied to the international cabal who via a very powerful Oligarchy controls the ebb and flow of capitol and wealth across the globe via institutions such as the US Federal Reserve. But a reason, a catalyst was required to set this all in motion … 9/11 … Yea this event was a mighty convenient occurrence for something already planned but I digress. As of this point Bush is in character as a full blown NEOCON but as bad as this is, for We The People it gets worse!

 

G.W. Bush wile claiming to be a true conservative, is in fact responsible for initiating the largest (at the time) increase in government spending and national debt in this nation’s history (very Un-Republican). This was done on several fronts, those being the massive military spending required to fight two wars simultaneously, massive tax cuts to large and favored corporations and in his second term a series of stimulus packages and corporate welfare (bailouts) designed (supposedly) to help pull this country out of what was to become the deepest recession since the great depression, caused by the housing bubble collapse.

 

This economic collapse was the result of horrendous mismanagement and criminal misuse of billions if not trillions of dollars entrusted to the worlds preeminent financial institutions, yet no one goes to prison because these are in fact the puppet masters who own the political system and the politicians (including the president). So while the middle class embarks on a downward death spiral our government and the Federal Reserve begin to pump what would eventually exceed an estimated $16 trillion (a total far exceeding the entire federal debt at the time) and some say many times this amount internationally, in loans, bailouts and corporate welfare into the very entities responsible for the catastrophe. In essence it can be argued that the criminal perpetrators got rewarded for their misdeeds and the innocent masses got what may still eventually prove to be a fatal bi*ch slap, administered by our trusted elected representatives … lead by Bush!

 

It is not only our treasury and world respect that have suffered catastrophic losses during the Bush years but also our liberties, rights and freedoms! For those of us who reportedly reside in the land of the free and the home of the brave, this may be the worst of the Bush legacy! Prior to Bush the citizens of this country could not even conceive of institutions or laws controlling and usurping our freedoms and rights such as was being done on a daily basis via vehicles such as the Patriot Act, a name ill suited for its intent and ramifications. Then we where forced to contend with the expanded powers or the TSA, Homeland Security and FEMA as well as others we may not even be aware of. What we observed in the name of safety and security was our rights and freedoms being watered down and trampled on in a progression that continues at an accelerated pace! Witness the birth of a police state! Surely our founding fathers who sacrificed so much to bequeath to us our Constitution and Bill of Rights outlining our freedoms, liberties and inalienable rights where rolling over in their graves!

 

We must also contend with the fact that during his administration the government grows in leaps and bounds including it’s size, scope, influence and intrusion into our daily lives. The list of what most people would describe as very liberal, even progressive and in some cases criminal policies and actions goes on and on, all perpetrated by a supposed right wing, Conservative, anti-big and intrusive government, Republican. Can anyone explain the basis for any of this in context with the stated Republican platform? Is this even a supposed Republican mindset, or is this the blurring of the party definition by those who own the party, in fact both parties, and all to serve an intended and predetermined goal (another future topic of this series). This is the George W. Bush legacy in all its splendor! A man who’s policies followed both Progressive (Liberal) and NEOCON (Conservative) lines of reasoning to a new crescendo of radicalism that benefited only the Bankers, Wall Street power brokers and the Military Industrial Complex to the extreme detriment of We The People!

 

So here we have laid bare the actions of a so called Republican who played the role of a NEOCON, and also a Progressive or Democrat. A man who’s actions cross the entire political spectrum and all its extremes. Bush was railed against, called a war criminal, a murderer and even a tyrant. His economic policies and support of the Federal Reserves tactics where denounced in the 2008 presidential elections by all major candidates from both parties (especially Obama) as being too radical in nature or as a total abject failure and his foreign policy was railed on for the imperialistic warmongering it in fact was! His popularity in the lame duck years of his presidency was dismal at best and we all figured anyone would be better than him … we where so very wrong!

 

As radical as Bush was, as damaging to this country as his economic and political actions and mandates where, and as tyrannical as his freedom robbing ideals seemed, even this pales in comparison to his successors exploits! Next in this series we will examine the roll of a Democratic President who displays the hallmarks of a Progressive, a Socialist a NEOCON, and a Fascist all simultaneously while blatantly epitomizing to a growing number of Americans the consummate definition of a Tyrant in Part #2 of America, a nation in crisis, The two party system lie.
