The recent murders of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge were acts of violence that no one condones. But we should keep in mind the seemingly endless incidents of violence black men and women have been subjected to by police — for decades.

Even when no one is killed, some of these stories are especially searing: Earlier this month a Miami cop shot and wounded an unarmed black man lying in the street with his hands up. The victim was a therapist at a group home who was trying to coax an autistic man to come back inside. The patient was playing with a toy truck.  Someone called the police. When they arrived, the therapist lay on his back, put his hands up, and shouted,

“All he has is a toy truck in his hand. That’s all it is. There is no need for guns.”

The policeman fired anyway. Three times. One bullet hit the therapist in the leg.

Later the policeman claimed he was aiming for the man with the toy truck, that he thought the toy was a gun, that he was trying to protect the therapist.

But here is what is especially telling: The police still handcuffed this unarmed man, the one who was not holding the toy, even after he was shot, even after he had repeatedly identified himself as a therapist — and left him lying on the hot Miami pavement for 20 minutes while waiting for an ambulance.

***

There are other, more insidious ways in which African-Americans are abused — economic exploitation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) exposed this form of abuse after an especially explosive incident in Ferguson, Missouri.

On August 9, 2014, in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an 18-year-old unarmed African-American. After the officer was cleared of all charges, there were peaceful protests as well as rioting.

It has been said that African-Americans are often arrested for “driving while black.” In fact, African-Americans seem to be arrested for walking, talking—or just breathing—while black.

This is not news. What is news is that the Department of Justice investigated the city, the police department, and the judicial system of Ferguson, Missouri—which is apparently just one of many places in America where such racially driven abuses occur on a regular basis.

Out of this came The Ferguson Report.

Here we present anecdotes from that report, a catalog of grinding daily harassments, humiliations—and worse—by a police department intent on keeping a people “in their place” while earning revenue for the city by writing as many tickets as possible.

Welcome to Your Delusional Democracy

Welcome to Your Delusional Democracy

http://www.globalresearch.ca/welcome-to-your-delusional-democracy/5545129

By: Joel S. Hirschhorn
Date: 2016-09-11

For some years I have used the term “delusional democracy” to describe the condition of the US .  It seemed obvious to me that the vast majority of Americans have deliberately chosen to fool themselves.  They have been brainwashed to believe what no longer is true.  Become convinced that you do not live in a true and terrific democracy, or that your democracy is the best in the world. 

I stopped believing this myth many years ago.  All the objective evidence I saw over fifty years of paying intense attention both as a citizen and someone who worked within the political system showed me that American democracy had steadily declined in quality, integrity and effectiveness.  And now in this 2016 presidential race you have powerful and painful evidence that we are saddled with a delusional democracy.  Thank Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for opening your mind and eyes to reveal this revolting truth.

Delusional democracy refers to delusional Americans.  So this year the key question for you to consider is whether you still choose to keep falsely believing that American democracy is worth being proud of.  I just cannot see how Americans can accept these two major party presidential candidates as reflecting a first rate democracy.  They are, in fact, a major embarrassment that should make every American, regardless of their political party loyalty or previous political beliefs, cringe at the ugly reality that these two presidential candidates are worthy of any respect, loyalty or votes.

How could it come to this?  Two world class liars.  Two of the most widely known untrusted and untrustable unpopular politicians ever produced here or anywhere.  Two sick narcissists in it for themselves, not the country.

The US political system produced this reality.  A two-party duopoly serving the rich and powerful, corporate contributors and many special interests, but not the ordinary, general public is what we have had for a long time.  What gave this nation awful economic inequality, destruction of good paying middle class jobs in manufacturing, and horrendous national debt also gave us these two losers.  Can you settle into voting for the lesser of two evils, when each of the two evils makes you gag?  Evil does not accurately describe these two options.  Choose the lesser of two embarrassments, of two calamities, of two democracy destroyers.

Consider this way of thinking about this ugly reality.  Once a democracy has become delusional playing the game of being responsible citizen and voting no longer makes sense.  It is more like joining a criminal conspiracy to maintain the illusion that we have a legitimate democracy.  Voting no longer is the path to have a revolution to restore American democracy.  That is exactly where we have arrived.  When most Americans have little respect and trust for Congress or just about every other institution and most believe we are on the wrong track, then how can you still cling to the belief that voting is what you can and should do?  When it comes to Trump and Hillary how can you still keep deluding yourself that you live in a legitimate democracy worth voting in?

Protests against police brutality have rocked the country in the aftermath of the police killings of two African-American men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota. Videos of their deaths were shared on the internet, horrifying millions around the globe. Yet increasingly, people who record police violence are themselves being targeted, harassed, arrested and even imprisoned.
 
On July 5, 2016, Alton Sterling was selling CDs in front of his friend’s convenience store in Baton Rouge, La., when he was tackled by police and shot to death. Abdullah Muflahi, the store owner, recorded the shooting on his phone. He described the scene on the Democracy Now! news hour:
 
“I started recording ... the whole time, he was asking them, ‘What did I do wrong? What’s going on? I didn’t do nothing wrong.’ ”

“U.S. Government… a Clear and Present Threat to Liberty” say 49% of Americans… Polls

Vatic Note:  Notice how the trolls and minions of the Khazars are starting to sing the mantra of the US as a nazi state, a fascist state, so we would be hated, world wide. just like Germany was in WW II and they lost the war. Hint, hint!!!!   Thus, WW III would be assured.  Remember, these khazars are experts at deception and this WW III is no exception.

Well, that is because we have let the khazars control our government as well as who gets elected.  Time to stop all that and take control back again.  Iceland did it, so there is no reason why we can't do the same thing.  We just need to take control back of our government and that includes elections.  We need to throw the bankers in jail for a very long time.

Government poses a threat to liberty, that much is clear.

But what may be surprising is that almost half of Americans clearly identified government as a clear and “immediate” threat, and are obviously outraged about what is going on.

Oddly, the number of angry Americans has remained consistent in poll number ever since about 2006 during George W. Bush’s second term, maintaining around 46-49% throughout Barack Obama’s entire presidency.

SHERIFF: THE HAMMONDS HAVE TURNED THEMSELVES IN

Vatic Note:   They turned themselves in and disassociated themselves from the militia that were supporting them.  No wonder we are in trouble.  Here, these people won't even stand for themselves.   If we are willing to give up our rights that easily, then we are not the offspring of our founding fathers and thus will be pushed off the land and disappear leaving the nation to the one percenters and their slaves who will have been genetically altered and brainwashed to accept a life of slavery.

The good news is, Americans are waking up all over the country.  I see it here in  my home town.  I overhear conversations about what is going on, and I Had never heard such conversations in the past.   To me that is the most encouraging sign and is probably why we continue to have record breaking gun sales.  Anyway, you read and decide.

FUND RAISING STATUS:  This is the date we start our fund raising due by the first of the month.   Our deficit is $350 and we ask that you donate to help keep us up on the net to do the exposing that is so desperately needed.   Thank you for all your support.    You can donate off to the right at the Pay pal button.   God bless you and your family and have a happy, prosperous and safe New Year.

Something Big Has Surfaced! Obama Makes His Move Before Exiting! Truth You Don’t Want to Know But Have To!

Vatic Note:   Since we now know Obama has handlers in the White House, that are NOT MUSLIMS,  then it is becoming very very important that we find out who exactly his handlers are and cooperatively track them everywhere.  Then if Gun Control is done as they need, in order to complete their agenda,  we do what it takes to see to it they never handle anyone else again.  Nuremberg-type  Trials sound pretty good.  

Lisa Havens is a pretty darn good disinfo agent, and thus I warn DO NOT ACT UNTIL THEY DO. She always uses 'some' truth in her disclosures,  just enough to make her predictions seem real.  But I find that she has been wrong or misleading, so many times, that I have come to ask myself "What are the evil ones wanting from us as a reaction to her disclosures that never happen?"   Once I figure that out, then our choices become clear and none of them include her recommendations. 

As I have said many times, every single WW has been preceded by a revolution in the most economically advanced country, in order to ensure they lose the war and twice it worked.   They also want to use these World wars to reduce population to eliminate the risk of rebellion AFTER they take over.  

And they are right to fear us, since they wish to install a Luciferian/Satanic One World Order that would be impossible for any rational thinking human to want to live it.  I believe that is why so many REAL JEWS have left Israel, which has legalized prostitution and makes billions a year off the porno industry.   Its the only viable industry, outside of war and weapons, that they have.  So, here is my final comment:  NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS,  BUT NEVER USE THEM FIRST.   USE ONLY TO DEFEND AND PROTECT AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

 

Obama's Handlers intend to get gun Control prior to His Leaving Office.

“U.S. Government… a Clear and Present Threat to Liberty” say 49% of Americans… Polls

Vatic Note:    WATCH OUT AND BE CAREFUL.... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN "PRE-WW I AND PRE-WW II.   This appears to be a serious attempt to get us to overthrow or revolt against our govenment so they can take over from the top.  That is exactly what these khazars did in both previous World wars before they started, which weakened the nation and those then lost the war.

The powers that be who orchestrate all this has tried to accomplish their agenda through the two previous World Wars, and how they managed it all, was to create a revolution within the economic powerhouse of the day both times.  In 1917 it was Russia, and in 1933, it was the Nazi's that overthrew the Weimar republic and  installed Hitler as dictator.

In both cases the economic powerhouses of the day lost their World Wars and that is exactly how its being set up right now, for America as the loser of WW III.  In 1871, the PTB set up all three world wars in writing, to take over control of the globe.

Once done they intend to run it like a feudal system as used to be the case with royalty and the peons, as slaves to serve the royalty with all their needs and wants met with the peons having no say whatsoever in anything.  Freedom is a thing of the past if they succeed and so is justice.  We are seeing that already.  Laws are enforced based on "who you are".

These foreign nation infiltrators are performing their duties within our government to first of all make us look like the New Nazi's to justify a war against us by the rest of the world.   Second, to weaken our military by deminishing the Veterans admin and their care of our wounded.  Regular soldiers see this and realize they are on their own and become demoralized.

In such a condition, who wants to fight for a nation who does not give a damn about their soldiers???  Not the soldiers, thats for sure.   Then a revoluton divides the nation and pits one group against another.   They tried all that with traditional tactics and it didn't work, but this is different.  The nation is divided on who they believe the true villians are.   Many are calling Obama  a Muslim and that the Muslims are the enemy.

Ironically OBAMA IS A DUAL ISRAELI CITIZEN ON HIS MOTHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY AND THAT CHICAGO IS FILLED WITH DUAL ISRAELI CITIZENS AND THEY LAUNCHED OBAMBA RAPIDLY INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THAT WAS COMMENTED ON BY JUST ABOUT EVERYONE.

We have done several blogs on his Israeli connection including how he has 32 dual Israeli citizens serving in the White house and in Homeland SEcurity were the SPLC and the ADL control the citizens advisory board and only 6 muslims,  HUH????  Does that make any sense if you truly believe he is a muslim?   No, I think he doing the Khazars bidding in the White House and those 32 dual citizens are there to make sure he performs.

Check all these out.  So many of Obama's apptments were not Muslims, rather dual Israeli citizens, like Chertoff, and others.

Poland Ready to Bargain With UK Over Migrant Ban: What Does it Want Back?

Vatic Note:  I can understand Polands concern.  Remember when the Polish President and members of the leadership of Poland were killed by Russians?  We did a blog on that had video and writing text news and I had it all translated by an American citizen born in Poland?  It proved that collusion was involved since the rabbi's that were going to travel with the President, all of a sudden pulled out  from the planned trip and thus they did not die in the crash.

That was just a couple of years ago.   It was quite a story at the time. It was a message to the Poles not to cooperate with NATO and Europe or pay the penalty.   Plus NATO uses poland all the time and they are on the front line and basically demeaned b y the British.   So, this was an understandable bargaining chip for them to use.

Meet the nano-spiders: The DNA robots that could one day be walking through your body

Vatic Note:   As  I was reading this I was contemplating the massive movement in technology advancement with changing the human being from its current makeup to something we may not recognize down the line and what would be the implications of that should those without conscience or humanity still be in charge?  What kind of asset would they be recreating.   


Yesterday we did an article on creating a human brain, where everything about the brain was being considered yet no word at all about a "conscience" or "limitations" on behavior, life span etc, nor about wisdom and other uniquely human attributes that do not reside in other animals, and are specific to us in the consciousness arena.   


This simply adds to it, since our DNA seems to be of deep importance to these people based on DNA lists being collected everywhere,  manipulation of the DNA and mutations made of the DNA.   Remember, DNA is a full blown language with a 25,000 character alphabet.   Who is talking to us through that DNA?   Is that the reason for the assault on it currently?  


Who knows what could be done with this kind of technology and without ethics, restrictions and controls, this could get seriously out of hand.  I can't believe we are doing this without a global discussion on whether it should be done,  much less under what conditions it can be done. But then we haven't had a say in anything for about 10 years now.  I have a suspicion we are getting close to having that discussion whether the powers that be like it or not.  Civil liberties sometimes have to be asserted in whatever manner is effective.

Scientists have created microscopic robots out of DNA molecules that can walk, turn and even create tiny products of their own on a nano-scale assembly line.


The ground-breaking devices outlined in the journal Nature, could one day lead to armies of surgeon robots that could clean human arteries or build computer components.

In one of the projects a team from New York's Columbia University created a spider bot just four nanometres across. This is about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

Robots of the future could operate at the nano-scale level, cleaning arteries or building computer components


The nano-spider moves along a track comprising stitched-together strands of DNA that is essentially a pre-programmed course.


The track exploits DNA's double-helix molecule - a structure of four chemicals that are paired in rungs.

Calling all Rebels

Vatic Note: This is a must read. Beautifully done....Talk about "sychronicity" I had a commenter on one of the articles who made it clear that we could do nothing about our situation and we should just go for ourselves and forget about trying this initiative.   It truly got me thinking about that and asking myself,  "am I wasting my time"?  I don't know about anyone else, but usually, answers come, whether you believe in God or the Universe or some higher power, such questions lately are being answered very quickly and in ways you least expect.   I fell on this gift below right after that discouse between us happened and I had my answer.    Please read it and understand why we, as humans, have no choice in these matters.... we must rebel as its in our very nature to do so.

EXCERPT (with minor corrections)

The French moral philosopher Albert Camus argued that we are separated from each other. Our lives are meaningless. We cannot influence fate. We will all die and our individual being will be obliterated. And yet Camus wrote that “one of the only coherent philosophical positions is revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his obscurity. It is not aspiration, for it is devoid of hope. That revolt is the certainty of a crushing fate, without the resignation that ought to accompany it.”

“A living man can be enslaved and reduced to the historic condition of an object,” Camus warned. “But if he dies in refusing to be enslaved, he reaffirms the existence of another kind of human nature which refuses to be classified as an object.”

The rebel, for Camus, stands with the oppressed—the unemployed workers being thrust into impoverishment and misery by the corporate state, the Palestinians in Gaza, the civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, the disappeared who are held in our global black sites, the poor in our inner cities and depressed rural communities, immigrants and those locked away in our prison system. And to stand with them does not mean to collaborate with parties, such as the Democrats & Republicans, who can mouth the words of justice while carrying out acts of oppression. It means open and direct defiance.

Americans, Everything You Do Is Monitored

http://www.pakalertpress.com/2011/05/07/americans-everything-you-do-is-monitored


Date: May 7, 2011

When President Obama talked about a transparent administration during the run up to the 2008 election most Americans assumed he was talking about openness in government dealings. Obviously, this is not the case, as evidenced by the administration’s handling of the universal health care legislation which was passed without a single American having had a chance to read it for 72 hours before a vote as the President promised would be the case with all legislation, refusal to release photographic evidence of the Osama Bin Laden raid, the President’s own birth certificate which has taken two years to be made public, and the many secret meetings held with Congressional members behind closed doors.

It should be clear by now that Big Government’s domestic surveillance policies under Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush are being furthered expanded by Mr. Obama. Transparency, it seems, had nothing to do with making government more visible. It did, however, have everything to do with making your life more transparent.

As the Patriot Act came up for reauthorization by Congress, it's time to reflect on the immense powers Americans have ceded to the government and potential for abuse by federal, state and local authorities. Last year, an FBI Inspector General report has excoriated the FBI Communications Analysis Unit for abusive warrantless surveillance of perhaps thousands of innocent people. FBI Director Robert Mueller promised Congress the FBI will be take steps to stop the abuses cited in the Inspector General's report.

"The FBI's use of exigent letters... circumvented, and in many cases violated, the requirements of the Electronic Communications Protection Act statute," according to the report, which was referencing a leading federal wiretap law.

The global Internet and telecommunications infrastructure provides massive information on almost each and every person on the planet. In a twisted way, the only ones fortunate enough to maintain true privacy are the poorest of the poor in armpits of the world. If one has a cell phone no matter where they are on the planet, they could be subjected to the vast surveillance powers of states. But one power truly stands out --- the all encompassing reach and technological capabilities of the US National Security Agency. If you want to be secure, don't use a phone, a computer, credit card or any other technologically linked system because it guarantees that big brother will find you if they want to.

There is another side to this story.

(Victory): Britian Rolls Back Some Unpopular Post - 9-11 Security Restrictions

Vatic Note:     Hmmm, lets see why Britian is getting nervous.... first of all they are a solid minority of the population, that is clearly one reason, but also, Chile getting in the face of Rockefeller, calling their own president a traitor, Egypt going up in smoke, Bombs going off in Davos, Switzerland during a high powered meeting, Dimond of JP Morgan losing it about bashing the banks, Israel getting out of control which reflects fully on the elite, investigations into various international crimes being pursued, etc etc etc..... yes, resistance is increasing both outright and planned and black ops type activities. Exposure of all their warts, satanism, pedophilia, organ harvesting, false flags, bogus world wars, transparency through the net, no one reading the msm controlled by the elite anymore, all that social engineering gone to waste ..... profits getting hit hard, and so it goes. Gee, I wonder why they decided to back off. LOL   It warms the cockles of my heart. They need to do a lot more than just roll back some..... after all THE TERRORISTS ARE THEM AND THUS THE ONLY DANGER IS FROM THE ELITE. No need to have security measures for the government, since they are the ones doing it all at the behest of their owners, Rothschild et al. None of their plans are working, their timeline is toast, etc. Keep it up everyone and spread it even further....... we need them to take us very very seriously. Meanwhile make friends with your local law enforcement and military. And remember the by word here .....  NON COOPERATION IN ALL THINGS GLOBAL AND ENGINEERED TO MANIPULATE US.  I TOLD YOU WE WERE POWERFUL,  we just didn't know it.  Now lets get rid of chemtrails, poisoning our water, air and soil,  and make it clear WE WILL NOT EAT CAKE.

Britain's government announced Wednesday that it was overturning some of their unpopular anti-terrorism laws. The measures, put in place after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were widely thought to be some of the toughest in the West.

A review published by British Home Secretary Theresa May acknowledged that the laws had been "out of step with other Western democracies." As a part of the changes, the amount of time a suspect can be detained without being charged was reduced from 28 days to 14 days. In comparison, suspects in the US can only be held for seven days.

10 Ways We Are Being Tracked, Traced, and Databased

Posted on Pakalert on September 7, 2010 //
http://www.pakalertpress.com/2010/09/07/10-ways-we-are-being-tracked-traced-and-databased

The war on terror is a worldwide endeavor that has spurred massive investment into the global surveillance industry – which now seems to be becoming a war on “liberty and privacy.”  Given all of the new monitoring technology being implemented, the uproar over warrantless wiretaps now seems moot.  High-tech, first-world countries  are being tracked, traced, and databased, literally around every corner.  Governments, aided by private companies, are gathering a mountain of information on average citizens who so far seem willing to trade liberty for supposed security.  Here are just some of the ways the matrix of data is being collected:

• GPS — Global positioning chips are now appearing in everything from U.S. passports, cell phones, to cars.  More common uses include tracking employees, and for all forms of private investigation.  Apple recently announced they are collecting the precise location of iPhone users via GPS for public viewing in addition to spying on users in other ways.

How Facebook Betrayed Users and Undermined Online Privacy

Bruecke Note 2 (Update 8/12): Coincidence that the comments to this article on AlterNet are no longer available?


Bruecke Note: I added emphasis to the paragraph about the beacon.  Reading the comments on Alternet is also interesting, with the 2 entries below:

Batrhyme: Facebook is the wet dream of the covert survelliance community. It is based on the "circle of friends" therory of criminal investgation. Before facebook authorities had to supeona phone record to get this information. Now the circles are publically available with no way to retract. And more is available publicly ie religious views, political views, reading And viewing preferences. Who needs FISA when the FBI has FB? (coincidence...I don't think so). This is the private outsourcing of the intelligence industry that your mother warned you about.

Parvaneh Ferhad They all do that, even your network service provider is doing it (Deep Packet Inspection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection) There is no privacy on the Web at all and it's not anonymous how many people think.

The reason why all these services are for 'free' is because the providers get something that is worth more than they invest - they are Capitalists, after all - and that something is people's behavioural profile.

They are profiling you as an individual and as a member of a group.
If you want to get rid of that, you'll need to outlaw it, but that will never happen.

How Facebook Betrayed Users and Undermined Online Privacy
by Allan Hunt Badiner http://www.alternet.org/media/147760/how_facebook_betrayed_users_and_undermined_online_privacy/

Facebook has collected loads of private information about their users -- information that is being sold to marketers.

August 5, 2010

In just six years Facebook has crossed the threshold of 500 million users. In the past nine months it has doubled in size and is now the number one most visited Web site in the world, surpassing Google.

Facebook’s motto is “Making the world open and connected,” where a lone voice can have a powerful impact, as evidenced this year by one activist’s post on Facebook that sparked a demonstration of 12 million people against the Revolutionary Forces of Columbia (FARC), which had been terrorizing Colombian citizens for years.
But along with its policy of openness and potential for social change, Facebook has repeatedly come under fire for its lax policies toward the privacy of its members.

Facebook members have a “wall” where they can post pictures and information (essentially their own web page), chat with each other, and read the latest on everyone in “The Feed.” But behind the wall, users are creating a cumulative data repository of all the relationships in the entire world and the intimate details of everyone’s lives. The databases and algorithms employed at Facebook to store, crunch, and make inferences about you are far greater holders of data than any government agency.

Breaking a Promise on Surveillance

It is just a technical matter, the Obama administration says: We just need to make a slight change in a law to make clear that we have the right to see the names of anyone’s e-mail correspondents and their Web browsing history without the messy complication of asking a judge for permission.

It is far more than a technical change. The administration’s request, reported Thursday in The Washington Post, is an unnecessary and disappointing step backward toward more intrusive surveillance from a president who promised something very different during the 2008 campaign.

In a 1993 update to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Congress said that Internet service providers have to turn over to the F.B.I., on request, “electronic communication transactional records.” The government says this includes the e-mail records of their subscribers, specifically the addresses to which e-mail messages were sent, and the times and dates. (The content of the messages can remain private.) It may also include Web browsing records. To get this information, the F.B.I. simply has to ask for it in the form of a national security letter, which is an administrative request that does not require a judge’s signature.

Feds now admits to storing naked body images from full body X-ray scanners

Feds now admits to storing naked body images from full body X-ray scanners by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) A few months ago, I first wrote about the TSA's naked body scanners and how it could allow Big Brother to view and store pictures of your naked body (plus the naked bodies of your children, too). At that time, my story was met with a reaction of derision from a few people outside the usual NaturalNews readership who said my story was nothing but "paranoia" and that the government had promised it would never record or store full body scan images. The very equipment used to view the body scans was incapable of storing those images, we were told. (These loons apparently think governments never lie...)

Well, as much as I hate to say, "I told ya so," it turns out I was right (and so was Alex Jones and others who spoke out against the TSA's naked body scanners). As reported today by Declan McCullagh from CNET, "The U.S. Marshals Service admitted this week that it had surreptitiously saved tens of thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse." (http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-2...  )

That same story points to a recently released document (http://epic.org/privacy/airtravel/b... ) proving that the TSA actually requires its equipment to be able to record and store naked body images. This, despite the fact that the TSA publicly stated, "scanned images cannot be stored or recorded." It turns out they were flat-out lying.

GORDON DUFF: AMERICA’S TARNISHED MILITARY PARTNERSHIP WITH ISRAEL

Vatic Note:  If you saw our post and 4 video report out of Fox News on the espionage by Israel against the US, both intel wise and by their Criminal mafia, you would understand why this article below is so appropriate and I am assuming it was written without the knowledge of the article we put up earlier, thus its based on even less evidence than we provided of actual criminal wrong doing on the part of Israel who takes our foreign aid and uses it to buy companies that they then use to spy, harm and otherwise undermine our country.  Nice bunch of guys huh?  Someone needs to aid them in determining what a friend is and how they should act.   They have so few and now I can understand fully, why that is.

OUR UNREPORTED ”COLD WAR” WITH ISRAEL
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

9/11 was like Pearl Harbor to America, uniting many, awakening bitter skepticism in a few. Where Pearl Harbor began America’s official role in crushing the Fascist juggernaut that threatened to dominate the world, 9/11 had quite the opposite effect. America’s response to 9/11 was oppression at home and a tirade of frenzied phobic reactions around the world. No American institution suffered more than the military. The team of Cheney and Rumsfeld, together since the disastrous Nixon years, began a process of purging America’s military of talent and leadership, instead building a force to serve a sinister agenda of religious heresy and extremist politics.

Nearly a decade later, it isn’t the economic collapse or the discredited military adventures that have now embittered a military leadership infrastructure that now sees itself as duped, dishonored and discarded. A number of factors can be attributed, the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” as it were but it is 9/11 where things begin to fall apart. The cover story, a group of Muslims with box cutters and a few remarkably unproductive hours of pilot training, simply hasn’t held up. America has had many airline hijackings, starting with the 1960s and was under strict terror alert on 9/11, despite the obfuscations of Donald Rumsfeld. Top military pilots, among themselves and their fellow officers, voiced doubts about the “twin towers” scenario, doubts that began reaching a quiet crescendo pointing to 9/11 as an “inside job.”
