What’s happening in Libya today is a crime: murder, rape, looting, chaos, a war of all against all. The perpetrator, the one key person who made all this possible, is a well known personage in American politics, a former Secretary of State and the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

What Hillary Clinton did to Libya is a crime on a scale rivaled only by the crimes of the Bush administration in Iraq – and there is a definite parallel in the methodology of the criminals.   Continue reading “Hillary’s War”

At their most self-indulgent, the theological scholars of the Renaissance were mocked for abandoning the debate over moral decisions to bicker about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. The scholars of personal finance seem on track for a similar level of disconnection from reality.

Take this new study, in the Financial Analysts Journal, that says “retirement is not hopeless.” Indeed, all you need to do is save 22 times the annual income you hope to have when you retire. That means if you make $150,000, and hope to retire on $100,000 a year, you only need to sock away $2.2m in a bank account to be able to retire comfortably.   Continue reading “Why the multimillion dollar retirement is not for the middle class”

This will be a big stain on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

from Washington Times:

Top Pentagon officials and a senior Democrat in Congress so distrusted Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2011 march to war in Libya that they opened their own diplomatic channels with the Gadhafi regime in an effort to halt the escalating crisis, according to secret audio recordings recovered from Tripoli.

In a historic early-morning ceremony in the Yellow Oval Room, attended only by Michelle Obama and pajama-clad White House dog Bo, and recorded for posterity by White Hose photographer Pete Souza, President Obama — also pajama-clad — signed the mother of all executive orders: an order giving him constitutional authority to issue executive orders.

It soon became clear why this unprecedented action was necessary and sufficient. Later, on Thursday, Andy Borowitz reported at The New Yorker that the president subsequently signed an executive order closing Congress, effective immediately.   Continue reading “Obama Issues Executive Order Giving Him Authority to Issue Executive Orders”

Stillness in the Storm

The BRICS alliance has been hailed as a saving grace for humanity from the grasp of the New World Order; but is it true? If we are to take our lessons from history it would seem unlikely.

The BRICS nations have been involved in NWO activities in the past, and this should not be overlooked because their present rhetoric seems beneficial. We would do well to consider ALL data available, and not place all our eggs in one basket.

Calls of mass arrest by huge alternative news icons such as David Wilcock have come and gone to no avail, but now the new tune being sung, is that the BRICS alliance opposes the NWO and is fighting to free humanity. Once again a fabrication of opposing sides are being shown to battle each other, but it seems they are controlled by the same masters.   Continue reading “George Soros and the elite’s China-fronted New World Order (Updates 1-3 – The BRICS were the brainchild of Goldman Sachs)”

Critical Thinking

All of us, alive today, are both blighted and blessed. Never before, in human history, have we faced such threats (WWIII, global economic, environmental and societal collapse etc.) but never before have we had access to almost limitless information and analysis (both good and bad) and the ability to communicate as a global family of human beings.

We aren’t “consumers”, defined by ideology, race, ethnicity or culture but genetically related human beings and we are presented with a unique opportunity to transform humanity and the planet.   Continue reading “The time for Critical Thinking is now!”

INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project, breaks the exclusive story of how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’

Inside the secret network behind mass surveillance, endless war, and Skynet—part 2

Mass surveillance is about control. It’s promulgators may well claim, and even believe, that it is about control for the greater good, a control that is needed to keep a cap on disorder, to be fully vigilant to the next threat. But in a context of rampant political corruption, widening economic inequalities, and escalating resource stress due to climate change and energy volatility, mass surveillance can become a tool of power to merely perpetuate itself, at the public’s expense.   Continue reading “Why Google made the NSA”
