Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney delivered remarks at the Vers La Verité Conference in Paris, October 10, 2009, commenting about the hypocrisy of Barack Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while at the same time expanding the war machine of the United States. She mentioned his expansion of weapons of war such as implementing new “bunker buster” technologies, increasing troops in Afghanistan, not ruling out military action against Iran, and issues of Honduras being besieged by U.S. trained paramilitaries and snipers in support of coup leaders over democratically elected leaders.

A former FBI funded white supremacist “agent provocateur” Hal Turner has been arrested for publishing death threats against Connecticut legislators and Illinois judges, and previously while employed by the FBI Turner had publicly advocated lynching Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney but never faced legal action for doing so.
Turner worked for the FBI between 2002 and 2007 as a “provocateur” to spy on radical white supremacist organizations, and is attempting to claim that his recent actions are legal despite no longer being employed by the FBI.

“Transcript of Representative Cynthia McKinney’s Exchange with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers, and Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) Tina Jonas, March 11th, 2005”
Cynthia McKinney: “I watched President Bush deliver a moving speech at the United Nations in September 2003, in which he mentioned the crisis of the sex trade. The President called for the punishment of those involved in this horrible business. But at the very moment of that speech, DynCorp was exposed for having been involved in the buying and selling of young women and children. While all of this was going on, DynCorp kept the Pentagon contract to administer the smallpox and anthrax vaccines, and is now working on a plague vaccine through the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program. Mr. Secretary, is it [the] policy of the U.S. Government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls?”
Cynthia McKinney: “Finally Mr. Secretary, after the last Hearing, I thought that my office was promised a written response to my question regarding the four wargames on September 11th. I have not yet received that response, but would like for you to respond to the questions that I’ve put to you today. And then I do expect the written response to my previous question - hopefully by the end of the week.”
Donald Rumsfeld: “Thank you, Representative. First, the answer to your first question is, no, absolutely not, the policy of the United States Government is clear, unambiguous, and opposed to the activities that you described. The second question —”
Cynthia McKinney: “Well how do you explain the fact that DynCorp and its successor companies have received and continue to receive government contracts?”
Donald Rumsfeld: “I would have to go and find the facts, but there are laws and rules and regulations with respect to government contracts, and there are times that corporations do things they should not do, in which case they tend to be suspended for some period; there are times then that the - under the laws and the rules and regulations for the - passed by the Congress and implemented by the Executive branch - that corporations can get off of - out of the penalty box if you will, and be permitted to engage in contracts with the government.

A Biography of Cynthia McKinney
The following information is partially taken from Cynthia McKinney’s Wikipedia Page.
Introduction
"Cynthia Ann McKinney (born March 17, 1955) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Georgia. A Democrat, McKinney served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003, and returned in 2005, representing Georgia’s fourth congressional district. The district includes most of DeKalb County, a largely suburban county east of Atlanta, as well as adjacent sections of Gwinnett County and Rockdale County."
"McKinney was born in Atlanta, the daughter of Billy McKinney, one of Atlanta’s first African-American law enforcement officers and a former Georgia State Representative, and Leola McKinney, a retired nurse. She currently lives in the Atlanta suburb of Stone Mountain. She is a Roman Catholic, one of the few members of that faith to have electoral success in heavily Protestant Georgia."
"She earned a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Southern California, a Masters of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and she is expected to complete a Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley."
"Her political career began in 1986 when her father, Billy McKinney, a representative in the Georgia House of Representatives, submitted his daughter’s name as a write-in candidate for the Georgia state house. She received about 40 percent of the popular vote despite the fact that she lived in Jamaica at the time with then-husband Coy Grandison (with whom she had a son, Coy McKinney, now age 20). In 1988, McKinney ran for the same seat and won, making the McKinneys the first father and daughter to simultaneously serve in the Georgia state house."
"McKinney immediately challenged House rules requiring women to wear dresses by wearing slacks. In 1991, she spoke out against the Persian Gulf War, causing many legislators to walk out in protest at her remarks."
"In the 1992 election, McKinney was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as the member of Congress from the newly-created 11th District, a 64 percent black-majority district stretching from Atlanta to Savannah. She was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the House. She was handily reelected in 1994."
"In 1995 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Miller v. Johnson that the 11th district was an unconstitutional gerrymander because the boundaries were racially discriminatory. McKinney’s district was subsequently renumbered the 4th and redrawn to take in almost all of DeKalb County, prompting a response of outrage from McKinney. She asserted that it was a racially-discriminatory ruling, given the fact that the Supreme Court had previously ruled that Texas’s 6th district, which is 91 percent white, was constitutional."
"The new 4th, however, was no less Democratic than the 11th, and McKinney was reelected from this district in 1996, 1998 and 2000 with no substantive opposition. McKinney lost her seat in 2002 after losing the primary election (details below). She regained her seat in 2004, when it was open due to Denise Majette’s run for U.S. Senate. In 2006, she was opposed in the Democratic primary by Hank Johnson and John Coyne III. She led the July 18 primary, with Johnson coming in second, but the race continued to an August 8 runoff, because no candidate received 50 percent of the votes cast. McKinney lost the primary election runoff 59 percent to 41 percent to Johnson on August 8, 2006: Hank Johnson 41,178 59% Cynthia McKinney 28,832 41%."
911 Commission and Goverment Secrecy Issues
"In a 2002 interview on Pacifica Radio McKinney questioned the Bush administration’s possible prior knowledge of the September 11, 2001 attacks:"
"These remarks provoked criticism, and many Democrats distanced themselves from McKinney’s statements. On April 12, 2002, McKinney issued a statement saying that “I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11. A complete investigation might reveal this to be the case.”
“Initially, McKinney kept a low profile upon her return to Congress. However, on July 22, 2005, the first anniversary of the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, McKinney held a well-attended congressional briefing on Capitol Hill to address outstanding issues regarding the September 11, 2001, attacks. The day-long briefing featured family members of victims, scholars, former intelligence officers and others who critiqued the 9/11 Commission account of 9/11 and its recommendations. The four morning panels purported to address flaws, omissions, and the lack of historical and political analysis in the commission’s report. Three afternoon panels critiqued the commission’s recommendations in the areas of foreign and domestic policy, and intelligence reform. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial maintained that the purpose of the event was to discuss whether or not the Bush administration was involved in the 9/11 attacks, expressing surprise that McKinney was once again taking on the issue which was widely believed to have been the one that cost her House seat. The Journal-Constitution refused to publish McKinney’s reply.”
“McKinney’s interest in 9/11 relates specifically to what she expresses as her opposition to excessive government secrecy. She has submitted to Congress two versions of the same bill, the 'MLK Records Act' (one in 2003, the other in 2005,) which, if signed into law, would release all currently sealed files concerning the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.. These records were sealed in 1978 and are not due to be declassified until the year 2028. Likewise, the 9/11 Commission has sealed all the notes and transcripts of some 2,000 interviews, all the forensic evidence, and both classified and non-classified documents used in compiling its final report until January, 2009. Documents relating to the death of rapper Tupac Shakur, which McKinney has taken an active interest in, would be released under another bill introduced by Rep. McKinney. In a statement, McKinney explained her reason for the bill: 'The public has the right to know because he was a well-known figure. There is intense public interest in the life and death of Tupac Shakur...'"
Anti-war, Human Rights, Impeachment Efforts
“Until 2000, McKinney served on the House International Relations Committee, where she was the highest-ranking Democrat on the Human Rights Subcommittee. McKinney felt that it was important that US policy reflect a deep respect for human rights, so she worked on legislation to stop conventional weapons transfers to governments which are undemocratic or fail to respect human rights...”
“On November 18, 2005, McKinney was one of only 3 (out of 406) to vote for H.R. 571, introduced by House Armed Services Committee chairman Duncan Hunter, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, on which McKinney sits. Hunter, a Republican, offered this resolution calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq in place of John Murtha’s H.J.Res. 73, which called for redeployment 'at the earliest possible date...'"
“McKinney hosted the first delegation of Afro-Latinos from Central and South America and worked with the World Bank and the U.S. State Department to recognize Afro-Latinos. She stood with Aboriginals against Australian mining companies; and with the U’wa people of Colombia in their fight to save their sacred land from oil rigs.”
“Rep. McKinney is a co-sponsor of Rep. John Conyers’s H.R. 635, which would create a Select Committee to look into potential grounds for the impeachment of President Bush. On January 20th, 2006, she also signed a statement by the group The World Can’t Wait called Drive Out the Bush Regime. On December 9th McKinney submitted legislation before Congress for the Impeachment of President Bush."
Hurricane Katrina
"McKinney has been an advocate for victims of Hurricane Katrina and a critic of the government’s response."
“Despite the Democratic Party leadership’s call for a boycott, McKinney was an active participant in the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina. She sat as a guest along with only a few other Democrats. In questioning Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, McKinney referred to a news story in which the owners of a nursing home were charged with negligent homicide for abandoning 34 clients who died in the flood waters. McKinney asked Chertoff: 'Mr. Secretary, if the nursing home owners are arrested for negligent homicide, why shouldn’t you also be arrested for negligent homicide?'"
The "Capitol Police Incident"
“On the morning of March 29, 2006, McKinney entered the Longworth House Office Building’s southeast entrance and proceeded past the check point, walking around the metal detector. Members of Congress have identifying lapel pins and are not required to pass through metal detectors. The officers present failed to recognize her as a Member of Congress because she was not wearing the appropriate identification. She proceeded westward down the ground floor hallway, and about half way down the hallway was grabbed by United States Capitol Police officer Paul McKenna, who states that he had been calling after her 'Ma’am, Ma’am!' McKinney responded by hitting the police officer.”
“McKinney was criticized in the media for failing to wear her pin on the morning of March 29, 2006, with critics charging that her failure to do so led to the confrontation. Many other Members do not wear the pin, even after the whole McKinney-McKenna affair...”
“McKinney admitted that she was not wearing her pin that morning, but opined that the police responsible for protecting lawmakers should recognize the 435 members of Congress on sight and claimed to have shown her Congressional identification badge.”
“.. McKinney garnered little support even among fellow Democrats. Not one Congressional Democrat chose to join her at a news conference to discuss the situation at Howard University... Initially stating on March 31st that 'wouldn’t make a big deal' out of the incident, Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) later said on April 5 that she found 'it hard to see any set of facts that would justify striking a police officer,' and McKinney’s fellow Georgia Democrat, Rep. John Lewis, told McKinney that 'she needs to lower the temperature and stop holding press conferences.' Outside of Capitol Hill, the Sarasota Democratic Party withdrew from a rally at which McKinney was due to speak.”
“Within a few days of the first reports, McKinney had been variously described as a 'crazy bitch', 'race baiter', 'freak', etc. Some columns even went so far as to analyze her hairstyle in a negative light and question the quick participation of Harry Belafonte, who is generally regarded as a political polarizing agent and also the recipient of frequent negative commentary due to his public statements.”
"She has repeatedly stressed that in her view the incident arose from the police failure to recognize her face, suggesting that in her view the above-mentioned pattern of incidents in which Capitol Police failed to recognize her as a Member of Congress had to do with a general tendency by police in the United States to engage in racial profiling of blacks, where blacks are stereotyped as more likely to commit crime than other groups in society, and therefore tend to handle blacks more roughly."
“On April 6, 2006, after the grand jury was convened to investigate, the Associated Press reported that McKinney had expressed 'sincere regret' for the altercation and offered an apology to the House. ‘There should not have been any physical contact in this incident’..”
The 2002 Primary
"In 2002, McKinney was defeated in the Democratic primary by DeKalb County judge Denise Majette. It was stunning by itself that Majette, who had never run in a partisan contest before, was able to unseat the seemingly entrenched McKinney. However, Majette won by an overwhelming margin, garnering 58% of the vote to McKinney’s 42%."
"McKinney protested the result in court, claiming that thousands of Republicans, knowing they had no realistic chance of defeating her in November, had participated in the Democratic primary to vote against McKinney in revenge for her anti-Bush administration views and allegations of possible voter fraud in Florida in the 2000 Presidential Election. Like twenty other states, Georgia operates an open primary; voters do not claim a political party when they register to vote, and may participate in whichever party’s primary election they choose."
".. The district court dismissed the case, noting that the plaintiffs had presented no evidence in support of [ Equal Protection and VRA claims ], and lacked standing to bring [the First Amendment claim.]"
".. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld this result. .. On October 18, 2004, the Supreme Court brought an end to the litigation, denying certiorari without comment."
The 2006 Primary Runnoff
“McKinney finished first in the July 18, 2006 Democratic primary, edging DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson 47.1% to 44.4%, with a third candidate receiving 8.5%. However, since McKinney failed to get at least 50% of the vote, she and Johnson were forced into a run-off. McKinney had been heavily favored to win, so her narrow margin surprised observers. Johnson picked up support because he seemed to have a real possibility of winning.”
“In the runoff of August 8, 2006, although there were about 8,000 more voters than in the primary, McKinney received about the same number of votes as in July. Johnson won with 41,178 votes (59%) to McKinney’s 28,832 (41%).”

911 Commission and Goverment Secrecy Issues
"In a 2002 interview on Pacifica Radio McKinney questioned the Bush administration’s possible prior knowledge of the September 11, 2001 attacks:"
"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11... Those engaged in unusual stock trades immediately before September 11 knew enough to make millions of dollars from United and American airlines, certain insurance and brokerage firms’ stocks. What did the Administration know, and when did it know it about the events of September 11? Who else knew and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?"

“McKinney was criticized in the media for failing to wear her pin on the morning of March 29, 2006, with critics charging that her failure to do so led to the confrontation. Many other Members do not wear the pin, even after the whole McKinney-McKenna affair...”
“McKinney admitted that she was not wearing her pin that morning, but opined that the police responsible for protecting lawmakers should recognize the 435 members of Congress on sight and claimed to have shown her Congressional identification badge.”
“.. McKinney garnered little support even among fellow Democrats. Not one Congressional Democrat chose to join her at a news conference to discuss the situation at Howard University... Initially stating on March 31st that 'wouldn’t make a big deal' out of the incident, Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) later said on April 5 that she found 'it hard to see any set of facts that would justify striking a police officer,' and McKinney’s fellow Georgia Democrat, Rep. John Lewis, told McKinney that 'she needs to lower the temperature and stop holding press conferences.' Outside of Capitol Hill, the Sarasota Democratic Party withdrew from a rally at which McKinney was due to speak.”
“Within a few days of the first reports, McKinney had been variously described as a 'crazy bitch', 'race baiter', 'freak', etc. Some columns even went so far as to analyze her hairstyle in a negative light and question the quick participation of Harry Belafonte, who is generally regarded as a political polarizing agent and also the recipient of frequent negative commentary due to his public statements.”
"She has repeatedly stressed that in her view the incident arose from the police failure to recognize her face, suggesting that in her view the above-mentioned pattern of incidents in which Capitol Police failed to recognize her as a Member of Congress had to do with a general tendency by police in the United States to engage in racial profiling of blacks, where blacks are stereotyped as more likely to commit crime than other groups in society, and therefore tend to handle blacks more roughly."
“On April 6, 2006, after the grand jury was convened to investigate, the Associated Press reported that McKinney had expressed 'sincere regret' for the altercation and offered an apology to the House. ‘There should not have been any physical contact in this incident’..”
The 2002 Primary
"In 2002, McKinney was defeated in the Democratic primary by DeKalb County judge Denise Majette. It was stunning by itself that Majette, who had never run in a partisan contest before, was able to unseat the seemingly entrenched McKinney. However, Majette won by an overwhelming margin, garnering 58% of the vote to McKinney’s 42%."
"McKinney protested the result in court, claiming that thousands of Republicans, knowing they had no realistic chance of defeating her in November, had participated in the Democratic primary to vote against McKinney in revenge for her anti-Bush administration views and allegations of possible voter fraud in Florida in the 2000 Presidential Election. Like twenty other states, Georgia operates an open primary; voters do not claim a political party when they register to vote, and may participate in whichever party’s primary election they choose."
".. The district court dismissed the case, noting that the plaintiffs had presented no evidence in support of [ Equal Protection and VRA claims ], and lacked standing to bring [the First Amendment claim.]"
".. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld this result. .. On October 18, 2004, the Supreme Court brought an end to the litigation, denying certiorari without comment."
The 2006 Primary Runnoff
“McKinney finished first in the July 18, 2006 Democratic primary, edging DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson 47.1% to 44.4%, with a third candidate receiving 8.5%. However, since McKinney failed to get at least 50% of the vote, she and Johnson were forced into a run-off. McKinney had been heavily favored to win, so her narrow margin surprised observers. Johnson picked up support because he seemed to have a real possibility of winning.”
“In the runoff of August 8, 2006, although there were about 8,000 more voters than in the primary, McKinney received about the same number of votes as in July. Johnson won with 41,178 votes (59%) to McKinney’s 28,832 (41%).”

An October 9, 2005 Chicago Tribune “Pipeline to Peril” multi-part article (view link)
In October of 2005, the Chicago Tribune published a multi-part special report “Pipeline to Peril,” reporting on Halliburton subsidiaries’ widespread reliance on making use of firms specializing in human trafficking for supplying cheap labor for meeting the demands of the privatization of military support operations in Iraq.
From the article:
”The 'Pipeline to Peril' series reveals how some subcontractors used deception and coercion to recruit foreigners to work on U.S. bases in Iraq. The series told the story of 12 Nepalese, some of whom thought they had gotten hotel jobs in Jordan. Instead, all 12 were sent to Iraq, where they were kidnapped and killed.”

This June 26, 2002 article talks about Ben Johnson, a Dyncorp helicopter mechanic stationed in Bosnia who was fired for reporting coworkers who have been purchasing passports of women and girls as young as twelve years old who were being trafficked from poor Eastern European countries such Russia, Moldova and Romania for the purpose of forced prostitution.
From the article:
”Pending lawsuits allege that U.S. military contractors on duty in Bosnia bought and 'owned' young women. But the accused men have never been — and will never be — brought to justice.” ...

UN Human Rights Investigator Kathryn Bolkovac
Summary of the article:
Human rights investigator Kathryn Bolkovac has filed a lawsuit against her employer, the US-based agency DynCorp, which is registered with the State Department to provide American police officers to work on humanitarian and peacekeeping duties. She claims that she was fired for exposing the sexual abuse of Bosnian women by her United Nations colleagues, and told a British employment tribunal that girls as young as 15 were offered for sex.
The former American policewoman claims she was sacked because she sent an email to Jacques Paul Klein, the chief of UN mission in Bosnia-Hercegovina, which highlighted the sexual exploitation of women by those who had been sent to protect them from the sex trade. She was demoted and removed from front line policing after emailing the claims that “.. women and girls were handed over to bar owners and told to perform sex acts to pay for their costumes, and the women who refused were locked in rooms and withheld food and outside contact for days or weeks. After this time they are told to dance naked on table tops and sit with clients. If the women still refuse to perform sex acts with the customers they are beaten and raped in the rooms by the bar owners and their associates. They are told if they go to the police they will be arrested for prostitution and being an illegal immigrant.”
Giving evidence to the tribunal, Mrs Bolkovac said she had discovered “extensive use of brothels” by UN police and other peacekeepers. She said she also found that international staff were helping local police to sell women for the sex trade and she feared this was being “covered up.”
”The victims of trafficking were reporting extensive use of the brothels and other criminal acts by the international community and international police task force,” she said.
She claimed that Mike Stiers, the international police task force’s deputy commissioner, had flippantly dismissed victims of human trafficking as “just prostitutes.”
This attitude led many members of the peacekeeping mission to believe it was acceptable to use sex slaves and go to brothels, she said.
Followup article: London Telegraph report: “Kathryn Bolkovac Investigator wins UN sex abuse case” (July 8, 2002)
From the article:
”A human rights investigator, who insisted she was sacked for exposing the sexual abuse of women in Bosnia by her United Nations colleagues, had her claim of unfair dismissal upheld yesterday.”
[Note: February 18, 2020— I have updated this article including reworking its illustrated graphs.]
This article is a study of potential types of politically motivated communication styles and the practical voting results arising due to such communication, by means of graphing theoretical voting results.
Communication style can be “communicative” to win the support of those being communicated with, or “solidifying” which entrenches people’s opinions on both sides of an issue. This article describes aspects of the two styles and conducts a theoretical study of the practical voting results of the styles being used against each other. It is shown by graphing theoretical voting results that effective “communicative” style will always trump the effects of “solidifying” style.
This article defines the terms used, offers graphical representations of the ideas being presented, and draws conclusions based on the results of study.

The other day I read about the “Midway” movie which is playing in theaters that shows what happened during the Battle of Midway during World War II, and upon hearing about it I decided to watch a documentary about the conflict because I knew almost nothing about it, and after watching the documentary I decided to see the movie.
The Battle of Midway was an attack by Japanese forces on a small island in the Pacific that the U.S. was using as a naval base. The Japanese were hoping for a surprise attack, however the U.S. knew about it in advance which enabled them to prepare for it. The battles which ensued were extreme to the point of being surreal, consisting of aerial dogfights with heavy casualties, and it resulted in the Japanese losing much of their navy at the end of the fighting.

This New American article explains how the United States is in the final stages of being undermined by the global elite who are following a time tested formula of destabilizing its society for ultimately bringing about their totalitarian rule.
This video is an interview of an Ex-KGB agent Yuri Bezmonov who explains the process of how societies are intentionally undermined though the promotion of “progressive” attitudes.
[Note: July 22, 2019— Actually I misspoke.. It is not so much the “promotion” of progressive attitudes but rather the “mandating” of them which is the most significant cause of the problems, although their promotion can certainly be an issue also.]
We Americans are currently in a civilizational state historians William Strauss and Neil Howe would call the “Third Turning”: an unraveling. The so-called Left is making it happen, too, with conservatives enabling it by conserving yesterday’s liberalism and being those nice guys who finish last.
In Marxist circles, this stage would be called “destabilization” — the second of a four-part process to subvert a society and seize control. The first, third and fourth stages are, respectively, “demoralization,” “crisis” and “normalization.”
The demoralization stage, which essentially is the undermining of a target nation’s morality (the process of radically changing the population’s “values”) was actually “over-fulfilled” in the mid 1980s already, as Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov put it at the time. This process continues and is manifested in the widespread antipathy for sexual propriety, faith and all that is great and good; and in the lust for perversion, socialism, feminism, multiculturalism, “transgenderism” and anti-Americanism in general. We see it in the tearing down of statues, removal of long-present Christian symbols, leftist propaganda and decadence in schools and entertainment, prioritizing of illegal aliens over citizens, revising of American history and impugning of whites; and in attacks on the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and all things traditional.
This destabilization of the American mind and moral compass now has begotten, as it must, societal destabilization. This is reflected in, most obviously, the flooding of our nation with unassimilable foreigners via a purposely porous border. This serves the Cloward-Piven goal of overloading the system to cause breakdown, necessitating replacement of it with, the theory goes, a socialist one.
Of course, this human flood strains schools, hospitals, and services and resources in general. But it’s also used for propaganda purposes, with simple efforts to enforce immigration law — ones pursued by Barack Obama himself — used to demonize ICE agents and the current administration. Vile, divisive lies such as claiming that detention facilities are Nazi-like “concentration camps” lead to hatred, violence, protests and terrorist attacks such as Saturday’s assault on a Tacoma, Washington, ICE facility.
This is part of the greater destabilization represented by physical attacks on, threats against and censorship of conservatives, phenomena now being encouraged by media and facilitated by Big Tech as left-wing politicians and law enforcement turn a blind eye. Why not? This all serves to quash their political opposition.
Should this continue in both duration and increasing severity, we will eventually be brought to the “crisis” state, a relatively short stage in which there’s a revolutionary change of power.
To be clear, I don’t say that those fomenting this are “Marxists.” Doctrinaire Marxism is, well, so yesterday. Leftists epitomize the moral relativism imbuing our age and, as such, worship the Gods of the Shifting Goalposts. Oh, they’re not better than Marxists (they may be worse), but they have made a lateral move in lunacy. Today they’re sort of like the Marquis de Sade meets Stalin and the Stasi.
Nor are most of our “disruptors” — what Nancy Pelosi called on young people to be — conscious of the process of which they’re a part or of its implications; like the Kronstadt sailors, they’re useful idiots.
Why, even most politicians — whether Liz Warren, Kamala Harris, Irish Bob (O’Rourke) or someone else — aren’t strikingly bright or knowledgeable and excel in only one area: power lust. In fact, I’m not sure there are too many bent-on-evil corporeal beings anywhere capable of grasping and orchestrating what’s befalling us.
It is tempting to call these miscreants “fascist,” a pejorative they use against the right, but this term is misunderstood. Fascism originated in Italy, with Benito Mussolini being one of its main founders (if not the primary one); Ol’ Bennie went this route, do note, after being expelled from the socialist party for advocating involvement in WWI.
Mussolini defined fascism thus, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state,” and our leftists certainly embrace that credo. Yet the Italian leader also said, “National unity has no need of the delirium of race.” That’s right: Authentic fascism had no racial agenda.
Our leftists do, though (as did the Nazis), with their identity-politics “wokeness” and white-privilege blather. So what’s the best way to describe their “ideology,” if ever-shifting, emotion-determined positions can be thus described?
Pure evil.
Yet while their wickedness won’t change, if “something can’t go on, it won’t,” to paraphrase economist Herb Stein. Leftists are orchestrating anarchy, but anarchy is never a permanent state of affairs. The destabilization, including the flood of illegals and tolerated street violence, will eventually be ended — if only by leftists themselves.
For once they achieve the complete control they crave, they’ll no longer want anyone upsetting the apple cart because it’ll be their apple cart. This is the last revolutionary stage, normalization. It’s when the useful idiots, promised utopia and once so sure they’d be part of the “in” crowd when power was realized, get squashed like worms.

YouTube has been running an ad before showing video clips that criticize leftist agendas that features a caricature of a Trump supporter selling a T-shirt that says “I stand for the flag .. I kneel for the cross”, eventually showing him “going on pony patrol” and cutting the ponytail off of an unsuspecting native American-looking person sitting on a bench.
The T-shirt is for an organization called “The Family Protection Association” which appears to be some sort of an establishment cointel type operation.

[Note: January 13, 2020— In September of 2019 Trump had decided to admit 18,000 refugees through the Refugee Resettlement Program during 2020.]
The Trump Administration is considering not importing any refugees next year under the UN’s “Refugee Resettlement Program”, which is a departure from previous years when Trump has admitted tens of thousands. The program which most people have not heard of brings mostly Muslims into the United States.
The Refugee Resettlement Program was established in 1980, being created by the Congressmen Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy during the Carter Administration, and since that time it has brought millions of mostly Islamic people into the United States who are given permanent residency and then citizenship. In the program, the United Nations chooses who to bring over which usually ends up being predominantly Muslims, with many of them actually being only economic migrants. The program generally doesn’t chose other ethnic groups in significant numbers such as Christians who are being persecuted by Muslims. See this link for specific details about the program.
Many of the Muslims who are brought are unvetted sharia compliant Islamists who are chosen by the United Nations in order to fulfill an Establishment agenda of creating Islamic “seed communities” that are dispersed throughout the United States, being covertly intended to eventually form into Islamic “no-go zones” as has been happening in Europe.
The media almost never mentions the Refugee Resettlement Program, and when it does it often attempts to create a perception that it is actually only referring to the immigration that is happening at the southern border of the U.S., but those are different situations altogether.
What would suprise most people is the fact that with the program the President has the only say about how many people to bring in. He is required to “consult” with Congress but they don’t actually have any say in the matter, it is his decision to make alone. Strangely, Donald Trump who has constantly claimed to be concerned about Islamists coming into the United States has already imported tens of thousands of unvetted sharia compliant Muslims from hostile Islamic countries such Afghanistan, despite the fact that he has always had the option of not bringing in any whatsoever. Thankfully though, apparently Trump is finally considering not bringing in any such migrants through that program during the next year.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia can certainly start taking in the Islamic refugees rather than the United States. Saudi Arabia is a wealthy country with a lot of empty space and it currently takes in zero refugees— not even Islamic ones.
The United States also brings in refugees under what is called “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS), which is not associated with the UN Refugee Resettlement Program. People brought in under TPS generally have a genuine need to escape armed conflict or natural disasters, yet they are only allowed to stay in the U.S. temporarily. It would make sense to simply allow those people to stay in the U.S. rather than bring in additional people who have been chosen by the corrupt UN Refugee Resettlement Program.
Following is a summary of the Breitbart article California Gives Green Light to Heath Care for Illegal Aliens:
California is a first state to offer taxpayer-funded health care benefits to low income adult illegal immigrants residing in the United States.
Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed a bill into law which would allow all adults under the age of 25 to receive state Medicaid benefits regardless of their immigration status.
Officials claim that the plan should cost taxpayers $98 million to cover 90,000 people, with the state already covering children 18 and younger through the state’s Medicaid plan. [Note it is unclear how they arrived at those numbers. The population of California is almost 40 million, and 90 thousand is only 0.2% of the population. Government agencies generally grossly underreport the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States, and the benefits being offered will draw many new illegal immigrants to the state.]
[Note a WGNTV report which the article links to also explains that many illegal immigrants are already enrolled in government-funded programs arount the country that cover emergencies and pregnancies.]
Governor Newsom has been advocating for the policy for a long time, and he along with the Democrat controlled legislature intends to further expand the state’s Medicare coverage to more adults over the next few years.
In this Fox News video Tomi Lahren explains the situation of California deciding to give taxpayer funded health care benefits to illegal immigrants.
President Trump said, “It’s crazy what they’re doing. It’s crazy. And it’s mean, and it’s very unfair to our citizens. And we’re going to stop it, but we may need an election to stop it.”
The Republican California Senator Jeff Stone said, “We are going to be a magnet that is going to further attract people to a state of California that’s willing to write a blank check to anyone that wants to come here. We are doing a disservice to citizens who legally call California their home.”

Donald Trump’s new “Remain in Mexico” policy has a loophole which allows people who are apprehended while crossing the border to continue to be released into the U.S. as long as they pretend that they can’t speak Spanish.
A Fox News report explains that a Democratic congresswoman Veronica Escobar’s staffers have been accused of coaching asylum seekers to pretend that they can’t speak Spanish in order for them to gain entry into the United States, although she later denied the charge. Strangely though, the hosts didn’t mention the absurdity of the requirement for the returning asylum speakers to be fluent in Spanish.
SUMMARY
Starting in December of 2018, Donald Trump established an agreement with Mexico stating that the U.S. would start returning asylum seekers who arrived at three ports of entry— at stations in San Diego and Calexico in California, and also at El Paso in Texas. Since then asylum seekers coming to those ports have been returned to Mexico and they have been told to wait for their hearings, which might not happen for years. Most migrants coming over the border apply for asylum wether they actually qualify or not.
On June 8th, 2019, Trump made an announcement that he reached a deal with Mexico saying that a policy of “Remain in Mexico” will now apply along the entire southern border of the U.S., where migrants who cross attempting to seek asylum will be sent back to Mexico to wait for their hearings, and with Mexico also agreeing to give them work permits.
During the month of May, 2019, U.S. authorities apprehended 140,000 people at the border, and about 8,000 asylum seekers have reportedly been brought back to Mexico over a three month period between March and May 2019.
Since May, media reports have been saying that the asylum seekers are being released into crime-filled Mexican border towns that are controlled by criminal gangs, where the migrants are reported to not be properly cared for, which is prompting lawsuits for them to be released into the United States.
However, what most media reports aren’t mentioning is the fact that the new policy of “Return to Mexico” only applies to asylum speakers who demonstrate that they can speak Spanish— All other such migrants who can’t speak Spanish or who pretend that they can’t speak Spanish are continuing to be released into the U.S. in the same manner as they always have been.
A simple solution for those issues would be to return all such asylum seekers coming over the border no matter if they can speak Spanish or not, and then to safely relocate them to areas outside of Mexico City to wait for their hearings where they can be properly cared for and where they can find employment.
LAWSUITS
The new policy of “Remain in Mexico” has prompted lawsuits challenging it. For example a June 27 NPR article explains that a labor union for asylum workers in the U.S. is suing to stop the program, claiming that the asylum seekers will be persecuted if they are returned to Mexico. The union said human rights abuses, gang violence, and kidnappings remain a problem in Mexico, citing a State Department Travel advisory, and they also argued in appeals court that there is “no evidence” that the migrants coming over the border pose a security risk to American citizens or are smuggling drugs.
In April, 2019, courts attempted to block the “Remain in Mexico” policy, but a few days later the 9th Circuit Appellate Court allowed the government to resume the policy until it makes its final decision.
A DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN VERONICA ESCOBAR HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE COACHING MIGRANTS TO PRETEND THAT THEY CAN’T SPEAK SPANISH IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE UNITED STATES
A Washington Examiner article reported on July 5, 2019 that the congresswoman Veronica Escobar had sent staff to Mexico to coach migrants that they should pretend that they don’t know how to speak Spanish in order to exploit a loophole which would ensure that they are released into the United States, although Escobar later denied the claim.
The Washington Examiner article said that it was told by The National Border Patrol Council’s El Paso chapter and several Customs and Border Protection personnel that Escobar has been sending staffers to interview thousands of migrants in the border town of Ciudad Juárez over the past few weeks to find cases where Department of Homeland Security officials “may have wrongly returned people”.
The article explains that under the “Remain in Mexico” policy, anyone returned to Mexico must be fluent in Spanish because they may have to reside in Mexico for up to five years until a U.S. federal judge decides their asylum claim.
The sources in the article claimed that Escobar’s aides were reescorting people to the port and telling the officers that the Central American people with them cannot speak Spanish, despite their having communicated it days earlier. “What we’re hearing from management is that they’re attempting to return people, and the story was changed in Mexico, where a person who understood Spanish before now doesn’t understand — where a person who didn’t have any health issues before now has health issues,” the source said. Reportedly Escobar’s team has sought interviews with 6,000 people who were returned last month.
Mark H. Melcalf, a former federal immigration judge, said “She’s trying to obviously say these people have been wrongly denied their claims and they’re waiting when they shouldn’t be”, and he also explained that a criminal case would exist if Escobar were found to be complicit in an effort to perpetrate a fraud.
Escobar replied to the allegatons in a Politico article saying that she has been receiving death threats because of the Washington Examiner report, and she claimed that the report is a result of “a couple of border patrol union guys” fabricating the story because they are irritated due to her “raising examples of violations of their own policy with regard to people in the asylum system.”
She then said that her office does meet with “constituents whose clients are asylum seekers who have been sent back to Mexico under Trump administration rules”, but she denied helping them to “game the system.”
A PROPER SOLUTION
Mexico has problems, but much of the country is not in as bad of shape as many people think it is. The other day I saw a documentary on Netflix entitled “The World’s Biggest Cities”, where the second episode explains how Mexico City is becoming a more developed area. A website for the documentary is here, including short video clips from it.
It is important that the “Remain in Mexico” policy is reformed to not have a language requirement in order for the migrants to be released back into Mexico. It would be fair because migrants have always been released into the United States without having any language requirements, of course.
Mexico City is a very large and diverse area, it would be easily for that region to able to accommodate the people who were trying to illegally cross into the United States. Outlying areas of the city could be designated for such people to be initially cared for and it would also be a location where they could find opportunity for employment, with just a simple train ride bringing them from the high crime areas on the border.
A Fox News report explains that a Democratic congresswoman Veronica Escobar’s staffers have been accused of coaching asylum seekers to pretend that they can’t speak Spanish in order for them to gain entry into the United States, although she later denied the charge. Strangely though, the hosts didn’t mention the absurdity of the requirement for the returning asylum speakers to be fluent in Spanish.
SUMMARY
Starting in December of 2018, Donald Trump established an agreement with Mexico stating that the U.S. would start returning asylum seekers who arrived at three ports of entry— at stations in San Diego and Calexico in California, and also at El Paso in Texas. Since then asylum seekers coming to those ports have been returned to Mexico and they have been told to wait for their hearings, which might not happen for years. Most migrants coming over the border apply for asylum wether they actually qualify or not.
On June 8th, 2019, Trump made an announcement that he reached a deal with Mexico saying that a policy of “Remain in Mexico” will now apply along the entire southern border of the U.S., where migrants who cross attempting to seek asylum will be sent back to Mexico to wait for their hearings, and with Mexico also agreeing to give them work permits.
During the month of May, 2019, U.S. authorities apprehended 140,000 people at the border, and about 8,000 asylum seekers have reportedly been brought back to Mexico over a three month period between March and May 2019.
Since May, media reports have been saying that the asylum seekers are being released into crime-filled Mexican border towns that are controlled by criminal gangs, where the migrants are reported to not be properly cared for, which is prompting lawsuits for them to be released into the United States.
However, what most media reports aren’t mentioning is the fact that the new policy of “Return to Mexico” only applies to asylum speakers who demonstrate that they can speak Spanish— All other such migrants who can’t speak Spanish or who pretend that they can’t speak Spanish are continuing to be released into the U.S. in the same manner as they always have been.
A simple solution for those issues would be to return all such asylum seekers coming over the border no matter if they can speak Spanish or not, and then to safely relocate them to areas outside of Mexico City to wait for their hearings where they can be properly cared for and where they can find employment.
LAWSUITS
The new policy of “Remain in Mexico” has prompted lawsuits challenging it. For example a June 27 NPR article explains that a labor union for asylum workers in the U.S. is suing to stop the program, claiming that the asylum seekers will be persecuted if they are returned to Mexico. The union said human rights abuses, gang violence, and kidnappings remain a problem in Mexico, citing a State Department Travel advisory, and they also argued in appeals court that there is “no evidence” that the migrants coming over the border pose a security risk to American citizens or are smuggling drugs.
In April, 2019, courts attempted to block the “Remain in Mexico” policy, but a few days later the 9th Circuit Appellate Court allowed the government to resume the policy until it makes its final decision.
A DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN VERONICA ESCOBAR HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE COACHING MIGRANTS TO PRETEND THAT THEY CAN’T SPEAK SPANISH IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE UNITED STATES
A Washington Examiner article reported on July 5, 2019 that the congresswoman Veronica Escobar had sent staff to Mexico to coach migrants that they should pretend that they don’t know how to speak Spanish in order to exploit a loophole which would ensure that they are released into the United States, although Escobar later denied the claim.
The Washington Examiner article said that it was told by The National Border Patrol Council’s El Paso chapter and several Customs and Border Protection personnel that Escobar has been sending staffers to interview thousands of migrants in the border town of Ciudad Juárez over the past few weeks to find cases where Department of Homeland Security officials “may have wrongly returned people”.
The article explains that under the “Remain in Mexico” policy, anyone returned to Mexico must be fluent in Spanish because they may have to reside in Mexico for up to five years until a U.S. federal judge decides their asylum claim.
The sources in the article claimed that Escobar’s aides were reescorting people to the port and telling the officers that the Central American people with them cannot speak Spanish, despite their having communicated it days earlier. “What we’re hearing from management is that they’re attempting to return people, and the story was changed in Mexico, where a person who understood Spanish before now doesn’t understand — where a person who didn’t have any health issues before now has health issues,” the source said. Reportedly Escobar’s team has sought interviews with 6,000 people who were returned last month.
Mark H. Melcalf, a former federal immigration judge, said “She’s trying to obviously say these people have been wrongly denied their claims and they’re waiting when they shouldn’t be”, and he also explained that a criminal case would exist if Escobar were found to be complicit in an effort to perpetrate a fraud.
Escobar replied to the allegatons in a Politico article saying that she has been receiving death threats because of the Washington Examiner report, and she claimed that the report is a result of “a couple of border patrol union guys” fabricating the story because they are irritated due to her “raising examples of violations of their own policy with regard to people in the asylum system.”
She then said that her office does meet with “constituents whose clients are asylum seekers who have been sent back to Mexico under Trump administration rules”, but she denied helping them to “game the system.”
A PROPER SOLUTION
Mexico has problems, but much of the country is not in as bad of shape as many people think it is. The other day I saw a documentary on Netflix entitled “The World’s Biggest Cities”, where the second episode explains how Mexico City is becoming a more developed area. A website for the documentary is here, including short video clips from it.
It is important that the “Remain in Mexico” policy is reformed to not have a language requirement in order for the migrants to be released back into Mexico. It would be fair because migrants have always been released into the United States without having any language requirements, of course.
Mexico City is a very large and diverse area, it would be easily for that region to able to accommodate the people who were trying to illegally cross into the United States. Outlying areas of the city could be designated for such people to be initially cared for and it would also be a location where they could find opportunity for employment, with just a simple train ride bringing them from the high crime areas on the border.
Islam is a movement that Latin Americans should be frightened of. It is important that Latinos become aware of the dangers of the ideology so they won’t allow themselves to be consumed by it. This article contains summaries of articles which explain the rapid Islamization of Latin America that has been occurring.

Video: “Why Latinos Are Converting to Islam”
I don’t like the “Vice” media outlet, it is establishment propaganda and it causes a lot of damage.
This video which is produced by Vice promotes an organization which is Islamizing Latin Americans. It deceitfully portrays Islam as being a “religion of peace” that is “misrepresented by the media,” and it portraits the ideology as being a “healing and redeeming force” for Latin Americans without adequately conveying its serious issues.
A Rice University sociology professor Craig Considine is shown giving a dishonest response when asked why some Latin Americans are opposed to converting to Islam: “In one word: Ignorance. It’s lack of education. It’s misinformation. This is a part of the hangover from 9/11. A lot of people in this country who are not Muslim have certain ideas which are steeped in stereotypes. So they see Islam as oppressing women. They see Islam as being backward. They see Islam in association with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and violence. All things which can be factually disproven if we just look at the reality.”

A 2016 Breitbart article explains the rapid growth of Islam which is occurring in Latin America, as well as issues with the radicalization of the Muslim populations.
The article explains that the Muslim populations in Latin America and the Caribbean are reported to have about 3 million adherents as of 2015, which is an increase of 25% since 2010 due to locals converting to Islam as well as migrants coming from Middle Eastern countries including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Pakistan.
Various high ranking U.S. military officers, such as the top U.S. commander in Latin America General John Kelly as well as Navy Admiral Kurt Tidd have been issuing warnings about the increasing radicalization in Latin America by groups such as ISIS and Hezbollah.
Also the father of the Mayor of El Salvador has been the leader of the region’s Muslim population, and his leftist guerrilla group became a legal political party in the country after launching a war with the government, however it has not at least publicly identified as Muslim despite its background.

As mandated by the leftist Establishment, transgender men are now competing in women’s sports, and not surprisingly they are dominating where they are doing so.
[Note— I think it is good that this is happening though because it helps to serve as a warning for people not to drink the leftist Kool-Aid.]
[Update: June 12, 2019— Actually, thinking it is “good” that it is happening is a bad attitude to have, except of course when the loosing women all supported competing against transgenders. I should be more careful not to make assumptions that all students are manipulated leftist types. It is unfortunate for the girls who lost— it was a State track meet, where winning first place could have opened doors to all sorts of opportunities.]

Update: June 22, 2019— Three of the Connecticut high school girls who were forced to race against transgender males have filed a federal discrimination complaint
Thee Connecticut high school girls have filed a federal discrimination complaint due to being forced to race against biological males in the State track competition, citing the loss of opportunities that they have suffered due to the unfair competition.
One of the track runners, Selina Soule, was kept from advancing in the New England girls’ track regionals, due to being beaten by two biological males.
Soule teamed up with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) to file the complaint which cites federal rules to provide equal rights to female athletes.
Soule and her attorney Christiana Holcomb spoke with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, where she explained, “I’ve gotten nothing but support from my teammates and from other athletes, but I have experienced some retaliation from school officials and coaches.”
Holcomb said that one of the male athletes now holds ten records in the State of Connecticut, which used to be held by ten individual girls.

Editor’s note about factors to keep in mind when debating Islam:
— Many people try to rationalize that “all religions have controversial writings”, however Islam is very different from other religions since Muslims are expected to conform to every aspect of the ideology, and the conformity is often strictly enforced with intimidation and violence such as in the many Islamic countries where Muslims are executed simply for trying to leave the religion (apostasy).
— Islam apologists sometimes claim that “Writings that are not specifically in the Quran such as the ones in the Hadith shouldn’t be considered to be a legitimate part of Islamic doctrine”— however they usually don’t mention the fact that Muslims who espouse that belief (“Quranists”) are considered to be “heretics” by both Sunni and Shia Muslims who make up the vast majority of Muslims worldwide. Nonetheless, even if only the writings in the Quran are considered to be legitimate, there is still an overwhelming amount of passages which show Islam to be an intolerant and violent ideology.
— Note that some “peaceful” passages do exist in the Quran, however those passages have been “abrogated”— which means “cancelled” by newer and more extreme passages. Also it is important to understand the context of the peaceful passages, as is explained in David Wood’s video “Three Stages of Jihad”.

A new book has been published which is ridiculously claiming that JFK jr. killed himself, his wife, and his wife’s sister by intentionally crashing his plane into the ocean 25 years ago near Jackie Kennedy’s house where he grew up; however much evidence shows that they were actually assassinated by a flight instructor who was also on the plane.

The media outlet “The Last American Vagabond” has semi-daily reports that are often focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict, where such reports are usually critical of Israel’s actions while also making a good effort to be as fair and unbiased as possible. This article contains a recent episode which is a good example of the show.
Alex Jones explains that the U.S. Congress has passed a law that decrees if people make essentially any sort of criticism of Israel it could result in them being charged with civil rights violations, where simply people’s motivations are criminalized rather than their actions. The bill makes use of a definition of antisemitism that is based on the whims of an Establishment-associated United Nations NGO group. The global elite is funding the social unrest that is happening due to the Israel-Palestine war in order to create an excuse to target the American people, where their goal is the further erode the free speech rights of Americans, especially of conservatives.
This video explains that while many people in the West are protesting Israel’s actions in Palestine, few people bothered to protest other even more deadly recent conflicts that didn’t involve Jews as the aggressor.

While the Democrats have been doing whatever they can to try to deprive law-abiding citizens of the ability to defend themselves from non-law abiding people, an Illinois Obama-appointed federal judge Sharon Johnson Coleman has ruled that illegal aliens are able to buy, own and carry guns despite the fact that they are not citizens, and despite the fact that it is currently a federal crime for illegals to own guns. The ruling was in response to a defendant Hariberto Carbajal-Flores who was arrested in possession of a handgun in Chicago.
Camouflaged gunmen opened fire at the packed Crocus City Hall in Moscow’s northern suburb of Krasnogorsk on Friday evening ahead of a concert by a Soviet-era rock band Piknik, which left at least 133 dead and many more wounded, where attackers killed people with automatic weapons and threw an incendiary bomb which which started a fire which killed others.
I recently thought of another system for gathering rainwater over fields, which employs an umbrella-type mechanism that retracts into a large pipe. The material of the umbrella could be made from hemp canvas, the pipe could be made from ceramic or plastic, and the poles could be made from individual trees similar to how telephone poles are made.
Throughout the duration of the Biden administration the Democrats were claiming that there wasn’t a crisis on the U.S. border. However now they are saying that there is a crisis but it’s Donald Trump’s fault because he urged Republicans not to sign a recent supposedly “bipartisan” bill, which the Democrats are dishonestly touting as something that would have fixed the border situation.

This video clip from the Len Horowitz film “In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood, and Bioterrorism” shows the claims of a government sponsored propaganda documentary giving misleading and dishonest information about the United States Government’s involvement in bioterrorism research, and it then explains the genuine history of such programs and shows how they have led to the creation of diseases such as AIDS.
Alex Jones speaks with Len Horowitz, the author of “Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola— Nature, Accident or Intentional?”, discussing issues during the international outbreak of Swine Flu in 2009. Horowitz is an authority in the fields of public health, behavioral science, emerging diseases, and natural healing. Discussed is evidence that the flu outbreak was intentionally created for the purpose of profiting drug companies, empowering globalist agendas, forwarding depopulation agendas, and being used as a “smokescreen” to distract the populace from other issues.
Alex Jones talks with former surgeon and pharmaceutical company abuse activist Rebecca Carley, speaking about many issues associated with the dangers inherent in the use of vaccines. Topics discussed include the many reasons to believe that the 2009 release of Bird Flu was intentional, legislation currently on the books which allows the U.S. Department of Defense to use unknowing human subjects for testing of biological weapons, ostracisations of doctors who speak out against the pharmaceutical industry, the Obama Administration’s allocation of a half a billion dollars for “genomic programs” which tamper with the human DNA structure, and other issues.

”None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham is a book of great importance, having upset the ruling Western political Establishment by exposing much of their secretive underlying history and agendas that control the political processes of the United States and much of the rest of the world. The book was light-years ahead of its time when it was published in 1971. The information in the book is surprising and it can even seem far-fetched to the uninitiated, however the information is accurate and well documented.

“Sterling engine” type solar power generators are the most efficient and inexpensive method for harnessing solar energy, and they have many benefits over centralized large scale solar installations that often cause serious harm to birds. A powerful personal solar power Sterling engine can easily supply all of the energy that is needed by a home. This article explains the mechanism of such devices and explains ideal potential implementations of them.
This video demonstrates a type of solar energy collector called a “Sterling Engine,” which is the most efficient way to generate electricity from the sun. It works by a reflective parabolic dish concentrating sunlight onto a hydrogen filled engine which contains a piston that is powered by the heat of the concentrated sunlight.
The wasteful and heavily government subsidized Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Plant which opened in California’s Mojave desert in 2014 has brutally incinerated as many as 28,000 birds per year at the rate of ten per hour, but engineers are claiming that their efforts have supposedly reduced the amount of birds killed to two per hour. Nonetheless, even if the claim of the kills being reduced is true, it is still too many and the ineffective plant should be shut down.
Flywheel Batteries are a new and efficient means of storing energy using a mechanical method rather than a chemical one. They consist of a heavy metal disc floating and spinning on a cushion of magnetism in a vacuum housing as a means of storing and distributing energy.
This video describes aspects of the major types of government and economic systems that exist in the world, and it explains why the system of a capitalistic constitutional republic as outlined in the United States Constitution is preferable to other types of systems.
The 38 page booklet “Restoring the Rights of the States and the People” explains how the political system of the United States has migrated away from following the structure that has been specified in the U.S. Constitution, and it explains how elements of the current political system could be moved toward being restored to their original Constitutional principals.
A website has been launched for FederalizeVotingStandards.org, an organization that advocates for eliminating the use of electronic voting machines along with federalizing the standard of how votes are cast and counted to ensure the use of one foolproof voting method in all states.
With Diebold voting machines, every vote is stored on a memory card along with additional computer code. This video clip from the HBO special “Hacking Democracy” shows how an election can be altered through a person only having access to a memory card. The video shows how the hack works even with Diebold machines that only tabulate paper ballots, and how it is impossible to detect the fraud once it has happened.

This article examines each of the steps in a problem solving process for peacefully creating political change in the United States through the use of communication and legislation— by using a process of defining a political problem, then defining a goal state with the problem eliminated, and then finding the most efficient processes of communication for reaching the goal state through the use of the legislative process.
This article is a study of potential types of politically motivated communication styles and the practical voting results arising due to such communication, by means of graphing theoretical voting results.
Communication style can be “communicative” to win the support of those being communicated with, or “solidifying” which entrenches people’s opinions on both sides of an issue. This article describes aspects of the two styles and conducts a theoretical study of the practical voting results of the styles being used against each other. It is shown by graphing theoretical voting results that effective “communicative” style will always trump the effects of “solidifying” style.

The Documentary “Behind the Big News” examines issues of corruption in the mainstream media of the United States, explaining how the powerful and secretive Establishment group The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has had a tremendous influence in biasing news that all mainstream media outlets disseminate. Conflicts of interest exist due to the fact the most major figures in the media are members of the CFR, which is also the most influential organization in formulating the foreign policy of the United States. The CFR has agendas of perpetuating globalist agendas which are often deceptive and little understood by the general public, and it often makes use of its control over the media in order to generate uncritical support for such agendas.
