Philadelphia laid off thousands of school employees last week after the state of Pennsylvania continued its austerity measures against public schools. And while the state is essentially destroying Philadelphia public schools through under-funding (claiming budgetary concerns), it somehow found enough money to build a $400 million prison just outside of the city.

A Virginia school board is changing its weapons policy after two 7-year-old students were suspended for pretending their pencils were guns.
The two boys attend Driver Elementary School in Suffolk. They were suspended for pointing pencils at each other and making shooting noises.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is in the information harvesting business — and business is booming.
That’s why the nation’s premier covert intelligence gathering organization has been building a million square-foot data mining complex in Bluffdale, Utah, that will house a 100,000 square foot “mission critical data center.” Continue reading “Here’s The $2 Billion Facility Where The NSA Will Store And Analyze Your Communications”

Large mixed-use development buildings with apartments on top and businesses on the bottom are popping up all over town. Billboards line the highways telling me I should have a “roadmance” (not even kidding) with the new toll roads encircling the city that Texans never really ever wanted; future toll roads subsidizing corporate interests are in the works. Advertisements are pushing high-speed rail as hip and trendy; they are reminiscent of America 2050 goals for the future of our nation involving 11 highly condensed megaregions connected with these same rails (with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, of course).

The great obsession of the 20th century was organization, and it continues.
Form a goal, put people together, and give them separate tasks that add up to forwarding the goal. Yes, it’s a strategy as old as the hills, but in the last hundred years the drive to expand the numbers has taken over. Continue reading “The creative versus the machine”
America’s ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, called for the resignation of UN rapporteur Richard Falk this Friday.
Falk was recently criticised for attempting to “justify” the Boston bombings and has been noted as a long-standing “anti-Israel” activist and 9/11 “truther” (those who believe 9/11 was an “inside job”). Continue reading “U.S. wants resignation of “anti-Israel” United Nations representative”
President Obama has said the outrage over the federal government’s decision to monitor citizens’ phone activity is all “hype.”
He might want to share his opinion with the U.S. Air Force, which is ordering members of the service not to look at news stories about it. Continue reading “Military told not to read Obama-Scandal news”
CBS News has uncovered documents that show the State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal and inappropriate behavior within their ranks.
The Diplomatic Security Service, or the DSS, is the State Department’s security force, charged with protecting the secretary of state and U.S. ambassadors overseas and with investigating any cases of misconduct on the part of the 70,000 State Department employees worldwide.

Chrissy Smiley learned this fact in surprising fashion on Thursday afternoon when she returned to her south Boulder condo after a 40-minute walk with her dogs to find a card from a Boulder police officer sitting on her dining room table.

It shouldn’t surprise. It’s longstanding policy. Post-9/11, it escalated. Previous articles said Big Brother is real. It’s no longer fiction.
Mass surveillance is official US policy. It’s not for national security. It’s not about discovering terror or other threats. None whatever exist. Claiming otherwise doesn’t wash. Big Lies substitute for vital truths. Continue reading “Mass Surveillance in America”

This year’s Bilderberg 2013 meeting has witnessed and extraordinary culture of secrecy surrounding the event’s large security operation, at a time when the public are told that austerity is meant to be the order of the day. But that’s not all..
Police officials are maintaining that the reason for such secrecy in advance of the event, and the extraordinary security measures has all been done in order ‘to combat the threat of terrorism’. Some might feel otherwise – that this hugely expensive exercise has been hidden in order to limit the public’s knowledge and access to the Bilderberg meeting, which in turn has helped interested parties in controlling press coverage, and keeping activists from learning too much, too soon about the secretive event.

Over and over again, the elite have managed to try and outsmart us and make the people feel as though they are one step ahead of us. After each passing false flag event, however, we have begun to develop our own kind of formulas and evaluations as to how the elite will tactically proceed after executing their next false flag attack, since we all know that these attacks won’t stop until We the People stand up and put a stop to it ourselves.
So in order to possibly understand their ways, I have been studying Sun Tzu’s, The Art of War and have found some interesting strategic steps that I feel the elite have probably used in the past and that we can study to help us analyze their possible tactics. Just like a disease, in order to fight, slow down and stop a threatening attack from spreading, it’s important that we know the possible stages that it must go through in order to carry out its function. Only then, can we find the means to counter the attack after it is set in motion. Continue reading “How the elite try to use sheer cunning on the day that they take up command”

The contractor in charge of the four-story building that collapsed—killing six people and injuring 14—onto a thrift store in Philadelphia on Wednesday had a permit to tear down the building. He also has a criminal record.
According to NBC 10 in Philadelphia, Griffin Campbell, the 49-year-old owner of Griffin Campbell Construction, pleaded guilty to theft and insurance fraud in 2009. He also had filed for bankruptcy protection in March “and owes thousands in unpaid city business taxes as well as state and federal taxes.” Continue reading “Philly building collapse: Contractor has criminal record; owner once dubbed ‘porn king’”
My analysis: So because the elite can’t get their way and win, it risks wider conflict, according to the MSM. Apparently, we are all supposed to sympathize with THEIR analysis. What a joke.

In 2001, Recep Tayyip Erdogan established the Justice and Development Party (AKP). In November 2002, it won nearly two-thirds of parliamentary seats. It did so with 35% of the vote.
Earlier dominant parties were rebuffed. Hard times aroused public anger. Voters rejected corrupt political rule. At the time, Istanbul newspaper Sabah called AKP’s triumph a “revolution by impoverished Anatolia against the old political guard.” Continue reading “Anti-Government Protests Rock Turkey”
