9/11, NSA Spying, the CIA, Wikileaks, Zionism, Psychedelics, the War on Drugs, Censorship, Climate Change, the Ukraine, the Iraq War, and a Whole Lot More

This website is based on a libertarian (in the sense of J.S.Mill) perspective and is opposed to Fascism, Capitalism, Zionism, the Anglo-Zionist Empire, the tyrannical Surveillance State and all who secretly work to cause wars (war and then more war) for their own advantage and profit. It has over 250 pages concerned with the (obviously) controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11 and the subsequent so-called "war on terror", and over 900 pages on other subjects, including the CIA, the NSA, the Lockerbie bombing, the Waco massacre, the CIA-led coup in the Ukraine, censorship, the Iraq war, the murder of Princess Diana, Wikileaks, religion, psychedelics and the so-called "War on Drugs", plus pages on notable people such as George W. Bush, Maria Callas, Ganesh Baba, Ernst Zündel, Nick Sand and the Dalai Lama. This website asserts the natural right of people everywhere to pursue their lives, interests and pleasures free from harmful social conditioning (propaganda), from exploitation and domination by political and economic forces which seek to enslave them, and from repressive authoritarian governments, rapacious capitalist corporations, mendacious religious organizations, fraudulent international bankers and the unholy alliance among all of these which seeks to deprive everyone else of their freedom, health, wealth, happiness and the full realization of their spiritual potential.

My visionary experience is that it is going to get very bad, but that through this crisis we will give birth to a radically transformed human being: a human being healed of the scars of war and the terrible things we’ve done to each other through the centuries; a more conscious human being capable of deeper relationships and deeper communion with the creative intelligence of the universe; a more spiritually realized human being.

This is not theory but fact to any disinterested observer of the globalist movement and its sources.

• Paul Craig Robertson: Revenge Is Mine Saith Washington

  What has Assange done? He has done nothing but to tell the truth. He is a journalist who heads Wikileaks, a news organization that publishes leaked documents — exactly as the New York Times published the leaked Pentagon Papers from Daniel Ellsberg. Just as the publication of the Pentagon Papers embarrassed the US government and helped to bring about the end of the senseless Vietnam War, the documents leaked to Wikileaks embarrassed the US government by revealing Washington’s war crimes, lies, and deception of the American people and US allies. The allies, of course, were bought off by Washington and remained silent, but Washington intends to crucify Assange for the embarrassment and payoff expense he caused the criminal government in Washington. In order to assert authority over Assange, Washington is using the extra-territoriality of US law, a claim that Washington bases not on law but on might alone and uses to violate the sovereignty of independent countries. Assange is a citizen of Australia and Ecuador. He is not subject to US law. Even if he were, he has committed no espionage.

• Chris Hedges: Crucifying Julian Assange

  We learned from the emails published by WikiLeaks that the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, two of the major funders of Islamic State. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton paid her donors back by approving $80 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, enabling the kingdom to carry out a devastating war in Yemen that has  ... left close to 60,000 dead. We learned Clinton was paid $675,000 for speaking at Goldman Sachs, a sum so massive it can only be described as a bribe.  ... We learned, because 1,700 of the 33,000 emails came from Hillary Clinton, she was the primary architect of the war in Libya. We learned she believed that the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi would burnish her credentials as a presidential candidate. The war she sought has left Libya in chaos, seen the rise to power of radical jihadists in what is now a failed state, triggered a massive exodus of migrants to Europe  ...and resulted in 40,000 dead. Should this information have remained hidden from the American public? ... “They are setting my son up to give them an excuse to hand him over to the U.S., where he would face a show trial,” [his mother] Christine Assange warned.  ... “Julian could very well be held in Guantanamo Bay and tortured, sentenced to 45 years in a maximum-security prison, or face the death penalty. My son is in critical danger because of a brutal, political persecution by the bullies in power whose crimes and corruption he had courageously exposed when he was editor in chief of WikiLeaks.”

  The goal of the various Islamist Jihad groups the CIA covertly backed, beginning the time of the Afghan Mujahideen in the 1980s, was to spread a cancer of radical Islamic terror and fanaticism to displace the tradition of moderate, peaceful Islam across Central Asia and into Xinjiang ... [C]ertain powerful interest groups in the West — banking, industrial, military, and political — came to view Beijing ... as the new emerging Great Enemy. ...

• A Bankers’ Coup D’état creates a Federal Reserve — the latest addition to F. William Engdahl's Newsletters

  In 1908, a year after the creation of Aldrich's National Monetary Commission, the most powerful bankers in America met in highest secrecy to draw up plans for the greatest financial and political coup d’état in the history of the United States. The plan was to rob from the US Congress its constitutionally mandated powers to create and control money. The coup was to usurp those Constitutional powers in order to serve private special interests, even at the expense of the general welfare of the population of the United States.  ... The Federal Reserve proposed by Glass would control the nation’s money and credit, in direct contravention of Article One of the United States Constitution which vested such control explicitly in the US Congress ...

  The Federal Reserve (which is the source of inflation) was created in defiance of the US Constitution (the supreme law of the land) and thus is illegal. It is an ongoing criminal enterprise, and thus its agents can be and should be arrested and prosecuted under the RICO Act.

This relatively young word was never intended to be used fairly and evenly against all racial and ethnic categories. It has only been used to target white societies.

• Where-Wolf: The War of the Deep States

  I strongly disagree with the oversimplified idea that this is strictly a competition between Anglo-Zionist Hegemony and a Multipolar World Order ...

The other Deep States of significance include the East Asian, based in China, itself divided between Rothchild oriented Hong Kong and Chinese sovereignty oriented Shanghai, and in the MENA region, where both Arab and Persian Deep States play important roles ...

And yet, reality exists. No matter how US propagandists have tried to spin it, deny it, obfuscate it or dismiss it, something very fundamental has changed for the United States. One such element of reality which, with time, will start to slowly seep into the minds of the people of the USA is that their beloved ”homeland“ and they themselves are now personally and directly at risk. Indeed, for the first time in history, the United States is now targeted by powerful conventional [i.e. non-nuclear] weapons which can reach any target inside the United States.

• A Review of The Culture of Critique by Stanley Hornbeck

He claims that these movements were designed, consciously or unconsciously, to advance Jewish interests even though they were presented to non-Jews as universalistic and even utopian. He concludes that the increasing dominance of these ideas has had profound political and social consequences that benefited Jews but caused great harm to gentile societies.

That damage is, indeed, immense and the bottom line is this: President Trump is in immense danger of being overthrown and his only hope for survival is to strike back hard and fast.

• Eric Zeusse: The Central Issue in the U.S. Presidential Campaign

  This central issue is whether or not to continue to move forward with the American government’s plan, ever since the Soviet Union and its military alliance the Warsaw Pact ended in 1991, to extend NATO ... right up to Russia’s borders, surround Russia with NATO nuclear missiles a mere five minutes flight-time to Moscow, and simultaneously build an ... “Anti Ballistic Missile” system to nullify Russia’s retaliatory missiles against an unannounced blitz U.S.-NATO invasion to take over, if not totally eliminate, Russia and its resistance to U.S. power. ...
  
  The path we’re on can end only in one of two ways: Either the U.S. ‘news’ media will get real and start reporting the crucial realities (such as that the aggression in Ukraine wasn’t Putin’s ‘seizure’ of Crimea but the immediately prior coup ... by Obama’s hirees) ... that contradict the official lies and thus might (if we’re extremely lucky) compel the U.S. government to reverse its present course; or else, there will be a surprise blitz attack by U.S.-NATO against Russia, or else by Russia against U.S.-NATO. The closer we get to the end of this matter, the more difficult the former option becomes, and the more inevitable the latter option — a blitz attack (by either side) — becomes. That’s the reality

This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn't factored into an analysis of Earth's greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one.

  This is something that the Anglo-American Empire fears more than anything else, because it would threaten the very foundations of the system, and the foundations are based on an idea, a concept, which basically tries to tell us that the world as we see it, experience it, is all there is, there is nothing else, science has proven that there is no spiritual force in the world, everything can be reduced to the workings of a machine-type organism, this is what nature is, a machine, existing by accident for its own sake, with no purpose or objective other than to survive at any other’s expense and to satisfy the senses with about as much indulgence as one can acquire, and acquisition is realized by any means necessary, including destruction of any perceived obstacle.This is the insanity at the heart of the Anglo Empire.

• Concerning the Nature of the DMT Entities and their Relation to Us has been updated with over twenty Supplementary Notes, one of which is:

  The Primordial Mind is pure Awareness without awareness of anything, not even of itself. It has two hypostases, one personal and one impersonal. From the Primordial Mind emanates (a) the personal Original (or Universal, Cosmic or Christ) Consciousness and (b) the impersonal Original (or Universal or Cosmic) Energy. The former is characterized by self-awareness, intelligence, knowledge, love, compassion and wisdom (and in fact is the fundamental source of all these). All forms of consciousness other than the Original Consciousness (that is, all souls) are limitations (or restrictions) of the Original Consciousness (and thus essentially are identical with the Primordial Mind). As regards the Original Energy (which is known, obscurely, to modern physics indirectly via the concept of energy), this is what provides coherence and consistency to what appears to souls as external to themselves, and manifests itself to humans (and to all animals) as the natural world, or Nature. Since the Original Energy is a hypostasis of the Primordial Mind, it too possesses awareness, but not in the same way (self-awareness) as the Original Consciousness. The two hypostases could be likened to purusha and prakriti in Hindu Samkhya, or yin and yang in Taoism, or prajna and upaya in Buddhism.

  And there is now a German translation.

• The Saker: Putin's Biggest Failure

  I believe that Putin is acutely aware that his real power basis is not primarily the Russian military or the security services, but the Russian people. This, in turn, means that for him to take any action [against the Russian 5th Column], especially any dangerous action, he must secure an almost unconditional level of support from the Russian people. That, in turn, means that he can only take such risky action if and when the crisis is evident for all to see and that the Russian people are willing to have him take a risk and, if needed, deal with the consequences.

• Wendy McElroy: "War is the Health of the State" — Its Meaning

  [Randolph] Bourne's essays written in opposition to World War I ... are not typical of anti-war literature. ... The thrust of Bourne's essays is to attack the sanctity of war by showing how it leads to the moral collapse of society by kicking out the props (the principles) of peaceful interaction upon which society rests. ... Bourne addressed the less tangible, though arguably more significant, costs of war. ... In  converting World War I into a holy war, the intellectual and psychological groundwork was being laid for future instances of what he termed "the sport of the upper class" — global conflict.

  Which brings to mind what Shakespeare has Gloucester say in King Lear: "As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods [the global elite] — They kill us for their sport."  Now is the time (for the sake of future generations and indeed for all life on Earth) to eliminate the global elite completely, with no possibility of their return.

• Christopher Bollyn: Suspicions about the Russian Plane Crash

  The Russian aircraft went down south of Al Arish, near the border of Israel, very close to Israel's main cyberwarfare and computer hacking facility, Unit 8200, located on Kibbutz Urim.  ... This Israeli spy facility would have had the ability to monitor and communicate directly with the aircraft's navigation system — without the knowledge of the crew.  ... The fact that the pilot's last communication, from 30,000 feet, reported a malfunction in the airplane's wireless devices and that he asked for an emergency landing indicates that the airplane may have been in the process of being hacked externally through its satellite wireless connection.

• Vladimir Putin's 2015 Speech at the Valdai Club

  Recently the United States conducted the first test of the anti-missile defence system in Europe. What does this mean? It means we were right when we argued with our American partners. They were simply trying yet again to mislead us and the whole world. To put it plainly, they were lying. It was not about the hypothetical Iranian threat, which never existed. It was about an attempt to destroy the strategic balance, to change the balance of forces in their favour not only to dominate, but to have the opportunity to dictate their will to all: to their geopolitical competition and, I believe, to their allies as well. This is a very dangerous scenario, harmful to all, including, in my opinion, to the United States.

And as much as we convince ourselves how cool they are, it’s hard to deny their invention has resulted in a tendency for humans to behave like zombies ... and prevented us from communicating with those who really matter (the ones in the same room at the same time).

  [I]nstead of learning from other people’s mistakes, some prefer to repeat them and continue to export revolutions, only now these are “democratic” revolutions. Just look at the situation in the Middle East and Northern Africa ... what was the actual outcome? Instead of bringing about reforms, aggressive intervention rashly destroyed government institutions and the local way of life. Instead of democracy and progress, there is now violence, poverty, social disasters and total disregard for human rights, including even the right to life. I’m urged to ask those who created this situation: Do you at least realize now what you’ve done? But I’m afraid that this question will remain unanswered, because they have never abandoned their policy, which is based on arrogance, exceptionalism and impunity.

[Or in other words] that an intelligent being in the DMT World, which is a “soul” in the sense discussed above in connection with Origen's cosmology, may be born in a human body, and that in fact most of us were once souls inhabiting the DMT World who have been incarnated in this way.

  The renowned political theorist Sheldon Wolin ... claimed that in the United States an emerging totalitarianism has appeared in form different from what we have seen in the past. Instead of a charismatic leader, the government is now governed through the anonymous and largely remote hands of corporate power and finance capital. Political sovereignty is largely replaced by economic sovereignty as corporate power takes over the reins of governance. The more money influences politics, the more corrupt the political culture becomes. Under such circumstances, holding office is largely dependent on having huge amounts of capital at one’s disposal, while laws and policies at all levels of government are mostly fashioned by lobbyists representing big business corporations and financial institutions.

In the course of experimenting in the dark truth of JFK's death, the ongoing, deepening historical hypothesis of this book [JFK and the Unspeakable] has been that the CIA coordinated and carried out the president's murder. That hypothesis has been strengthened as the documents, witnesses, and converging lines of inquiry have pointed more conclusively at the CIA. Yet understanding that the CIA coordinated the assassination does not mean that we can limit the responsibility to the CIA. To tell the truth at the heart of darkness in this story, one must see and accept a responsibility that goes deeper and far beyond the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA was the coordinating instrument that killed the president, but the question of responsibility is more systemic, more personal, and more chilling. Thomas Merton described it rightly as the Unspeakable.

  Did you notice how all these Takfiri freaks "just happen" to have had plenty of contacts of all sorts with Western security services?  It's like a Ku Klux Klan meeting in the USA: for ten hooded participants you have two morons and eight Federal agents working undercover.  Same exact deal for these Takfiris.  And then the two morons do something really really bad, and the eight Federal Agents "just happen" to vanish into thin air (or "commit suicide").  Does that have anything to do with Islam?  Of course not.  It has everything to do with the deep state and the covert manipulation of probably every single terrorist group on the planet.

• New links have been added to Julian Assange, Wikileaks and Cablegate

  It is absolutely disgraceful that Julian Assange has in effect been held under house arrest in London for over two years [over three years in July 2015] without being charged by either the government of Sweden or the U.K. government with any crime. Much praise is due to the government of Ecuador for providing Assange with protection from rendition to Sweden and consequent extradition to the U.S., where he would probably be tortured and would certainly be jailed for life. The government of the U.K. is, to its shame, just a tool of the Americans. And to its shame also, the government of Australia has done absolutely nothing to help or protect Assange (an Australian citizen) or even to protest this blatant injustice.

• Larchmonter 445: China-Russia: The Double Helix (PDF file, 277 KB)

  The Saker: I find Larchmonter 445's image of a double helix particularly appropriate because what we are witnessing here is the birth of a new geopolitical "life form" so to speak, an informal alliance of two countries which goes much deeper than most regular alliances do: what we are seeing is the mutual agreement to establish a full-spectrum geostrategic symbiosis between two civilizational realms as both Russia and China are what used to be called 'empires' in the past but which today are what I call "civilizational realms": multi-ethnic, multi-national and multi-religious ex-empires whose influence extends beyond their current national borders and whose international strategic "weight" makes them far more akin to continents then to countries. ... I would argue that this is by far the single most important political development since the end of WWII and probably the most important one in this century.

• The Saker: Important appeal for help to all Russian speakers!

  By now it must be clear to everybody that what is taking place today is not just some "Cold War v2" or some "East-West tensions", but a full-scale total war not just between Russia and the USA but between the entire Anglo-Zionist Empire and the Resistance (led by Russia and the BRICS). ... If Russia loses this war, the Empire wins the planet.  And if Russia wins, that will be the end of the Empire. It is really that simple.

• Vladimir Putin's 2014 Speech at the Valdai Club

  The measures taken against those [countries] who refuse to submit [to US dictates] are well-known and have been tried and tested many times. They include use of force, economic and propaganda pressure, meddling in domestic affairs, and appeals to a kind of ‘supra-legal’ legitimacy when they need to justify illegal intervention in this or that conflict or toppling inconvenient regimes. Of late, we have increasing evidence too that outright blackmail has been used with regard to a number of leaders. It is not for nothing that ‘big brother’ is spending billions of dollars on keeping the whole world, including its own closest allies [including Germany], under surveillance.

• Paul Craig Roberts: Will Russia and China Hold Their Fire Until War Is the Only Alternative?

  The inability of the Russian and Chinese governments to come to terms with the threat posed to their existence as sovereign countries by the neoconservative insistence on American world hegemony makes nuclear war more likely. If Russia and China catch on too late in the game, their only alternative will be war or submission to Washington’s hegemony. As there is no possibility of the US and NATO invading and occupying Russia and China, the war would be nuclear.

• Russian Report on MH17 Shootdown

  The conclusion is inescapable: MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter jet. The party responsible for the deaths of 298 people was not the Donbass separatists but rather the Ukrainian junta, possibly with the foreknowledge and involvement of the United States.

• Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Tamiflu and Donald Rumsfeld has been updated for The 2014 Ebola Outbreak.
• The Saker: Russia's Fifth Column
• Richard K. Moore: Mind Control: Orwell, Huxley and Today's Reality

  The 'conspiracy theory' meme was launched by the CIA in the wake of the JFK assassination ... [and] the public began to learn about the existence of 'conspiracy theorists'. These are people, the story goes, who suffer from paranoid delusions, and sane people should pay no attention to anything they say. If someone even looks at any of those ideas, their own mental stability comes into question.  ... Since then, the conspiracy-theory meme has been carefully nurtured and expanded ...[and] has been very successful in immunizing the majority of the population against the revelations available on the Internet, especially regarding 9/11. Any story not appearing in the mainstream media must by definition be a conspiracy theory, and anything that sounds like a conspiracy theory should be scoffed at and ignored.

• Brian Cloughley: Sanctions rebound to hit Europeans

  The West's malevolent sanctions on Russia were not imposed because Russia had in any way affected the well-being, economic circumstances, territorial integrity or social structure of the United States or of any nation that jumped on the US sanctions' bandwagon. There was no question of enforcing sanctions because Russia's actions anywhere in the world had impacted adversely on one single citizen of any Western nation. But they were imposed, anyway, just to try to make things difficult for Moscow and to try to ratchet up tension between Russia and the West.
