In a time when all of (what used to be) our most trusted officials and institutions have become the very forces of deception and exploitation they were supposedly designed to defend the public from, it is always a joy to read about the real heroes of humanity, such as Ton and others who risk their lives and livelihoods, or simply do the unthinkable, in order to foil the plans of the enemy inside the gates.
Their efforts, even though few and far between, tend to balance somewhat the constant negative work of paid blog shills like Whatever, and the army of liars employed by the Most Transparent Administration In American History, who tirelessly attempt to bury the truth and muddy the waters of public perception.
In the face of such apparently overwhelming odds, it is truly amazing what having a spine can accomplish.

Re: Re: Re: The Executive Branch of our government is out of control
I agree completely.
I was referring to the sixties as the point in time when the fascists felt secure enough to begin the process of exploitation of the US in broad daylight, using only their media resources to disseminate the disinformation and cover-up and clandestine operations by government agencies and hired mercenaries to eliminate the more troublesome individuals and groups.
It was at that time that Science was removed from the public and became the property and tool of government and business only. Public Science was reduced to what was already known prior to 1950, minus anything that might enable a social advancement outside of corporate government control.
The dumbing down of public (laborer) education itself began at this time as well.
The internet - the first implementation of a global public hive-mind tool - has, in my opinion, stymied the take-over process far more than anyone might ever know, and may indeed be the one thing that prevents the usual cycle from repeating and bringing back the normal feudal reality that we call history.
It always amazes me how people living in relative freedom under a slightly less-than-dictatorial government, forget that the period in which they live, is but the tiniest of moments when compared to the centuries of terror, poverty, torment and exploitation that makes up all the rest of human history.
Well, I certainly deserved a far less civil response than that one. Thank you for being.

The Secret Illuminati reference was un-necessary however.
The boys running this show may or may not belong to any number of secret rich-dude clubs such as the Skull and Bones, or as it was known in the past, The Jolly Roger Club, but such membership is irrelevant to the fact that rich guys hang out together and discuss, among other things such as best cocaine dealers and sexiest, most expensive rental bimbos, how to make their money, make more money.
Wealth is the strongest addictive drug on the face of the earth and aside from self gratification, leads commonly to an unrelenting desire to increase the amount possessed, if for no other reason than to protect the amount already possessed from those who possess less and those who possess more.
As to the War Measures Act, I'm not at all concerned about what title the legislation carries, as it could indeed be something entirely new, written up specifically for the planned reaction to 9/11, in secret. I'm only trying to point out that such War Laws allow a government to rewrite laws on the fly as needed and to ignore any legislation with impunity and that it can be initiated in secret, and that it does explain all the unusual aspects of what appears often to be the actions of a rogue government.
As to PNAC, it was not written as a confessional. It was written as a game plan and brag piece for those on the inside track. If you were expecting the book to literally reference for your illumination, the exact plans in plain english, I'm afraid you have underestimated the enemy.
Bad guys only confess and tell their victims in plain english how they did it, in hollywood movies, which is of course really great for bad guys in real life.
My point was that the War Laws were enacted secretly, meaning the government was unwilling to let the selected enemy know that war had been declared on him for some reason, and that it was unwilling to tell the American Public that war had been declared at all, for some reason.
That would mean that the possibility exists that the chosen enemy is the American Public, explaining its new classification as the Adversary. A fascist government, or government for profit, is indeed at war with the public it exploits, and because fascism always wears a mask, (NAZI means National Socialist and nothing could be further from Fascist) its always secretly at war with the public.
The WPR might not be necessary, but it would sure be convenient if it could be enacted secretly, offering a legal basis to all of the apparently semi-legal and illegal practices the government has undertaken since 9/11.
And while I understand that almost all Americans have now resigned themselves to believing the official 9/11 story, the corporate desire to do all of this legally would be enough to explain the rationale behind a fascist government pulling off such a false flag operation in the first place.
Once again, thank you for not taking that obvious left jab at my exposed solar plexus.
...... or, maybe his current under-the-table graft check from the IT Industry just isn't enough to buy that shiny new yacht he's been looking at, and he's letting them know that he wants to double his hidden take-home pay.
Best way to do that is the old politician trick of making noise about introducing legislation that will limit an industry's ability to cut corners, or lie to the public, or use shady business practices like imaginative accounting, or something similar and then wait for the industry in question to start making better "lobbying" offers - often called bribes.
Its a kind of extortion I suppose, where one bad guy extorts another.
The usual "tell" for this gimmick is "action-less noise".
The politician will be seen and heard repeating the "I'm gonna introduce new legislation" line over and over again, while doing absolutely nothing of the sort.
I like to call it, "pulling an Obama".

Re: I'd really love this to be a PNAC LIHOP situation.
I note you had nothing at all to say about the idea that the US government secretly declared war and initiated the War Measures Act without notifying the US public after 9/11.
Can I assume that you just dismissed that notion out of hand as being too silly to comment on?
Re: I'd really love this to be a PNAC LIHOP situation.
Well that was so reassuring that I'm definitely gonna sleep better tonight.
Now that I know the whole thing was just a big long string of a few hundred coincidences, happening in an unplanned but perfect sequence and that nobody was behind any of the incredibly handy string of events that led to the US public discarding the Bill of Rights for the Homeland Security Act, and dropping a few billion dollars into the hands of the wealthiest of us, I can just forget all that other stuff and go back to consuming large quantities of beer and pretzels and watching the ball pushers push their balls across the fields on TV again.
Yep, we just stumbled into this mess because we were looking the wrong direction while walking too fast into the future, and all the money that we've been funnelling into the War on Terror Industry has indeed been well spent to prevent us from being corn holed in the wee hours by the millions of invisible super-muslims hiding in the closet just waiting for us to lower our guard.
My favorite part is the AD&D reference where a single hero will slay the dragon and save us all. Apparently he will have to save us all from ourselves though since it was all our own doing and there is no conspiracy to defeat or unravel and no bad guy billionaires to oust from power.
Although in truth the best part is the one where Bin Laden, the CIA asset, "got one up on us", and pulled off 9/11 while all of America's defenses were just coincidentally and momentarily off-line. And obviously all of the stuff that the government did after 9/11 was purely for our own good, like shipping all those molten steel girders off to China before anyone could get a look at them.
Its so good to know that the cause of all of America's problems was simply poor judgement and lack of concentration on the part of the American citizens.
What a relief knowing that the Billionaires in government really are our bestest friends and staunchest protectors!
Thank you Uriel-238. I can now finally put away the NyQuil and sleep the sleep of the stabled sheep, secure in the knowledge that all I have to worry about is another long string of perfectly coordinated coincidences that benefit only the wealthy, taking place by coincidence once again.
Re: The Executive Branch of our government is out of control
Personally, I think the US has been ruled by a Fascist (Corporate) Pseudo-government since the early sixties, composed of US Millionaires and Billionaires, like the Koch Brothers.
The reason it now openly appears to be the case, is simply that the fascists in power truly have taken hold of all the strings and there is nothing left that Americans can do, save watch their country dissolve into bankruptcy and chaos as the parasites drain it of its vitality, wealth and prestige and deposit their ill gotten gains in offshore accounts.
They simply don't give a shit anymore because there is not a damn thing you can do to stop them.
Without a true government, the American People have nobody to present their grievances to and thus there is nobody who is willing to address their concerns. You are rendered an endlessly exploitable consumption and tax resource only.
The US government simply no longer represents We The People.
Or to put that another way, the Billionaires in power, do represent We The People, but only because they consider themselves to be We The People, and label the US public as You The Peasants and You the Gold Mine.
It might help to remember that throughout the vast majority of human history, this is precisely the way things have always been. Only a few fleeting moments, historically speaking, have seen nations at peace with happy, healthy citizens enjoying any sort of government representation.
That's because peace does not bring prosperity to the wealthy. Wealth is generated by poverty, war, illness, and crime.
As long as America is ruled by the Wealthy, Poverty, War, Illness and Crime will be the way of the day.
The only way they could have pulled all of this off, is, as I've said repeatedly, to have SECRETLY declared war on someone after 9/11, so that the War Measures Act could be activated.
Since the declaration of war was secret, the "someone" who they declared it on could be anyone, even the US public - otherwise known in government circles as The Adversary.
The War Measures Act explains every strange and apparently illegal action the USG has taken since 9/11, and in fact, explains the true purpose of 9/11 ala PNAC.
PNAC calls for a new Pearl Harbor to fool the US public into relinquishing its rights and begging the government to protect it from the new invisible boogie man......
Terrorists! Now new and improved, with Visible Wrangler Black Jean Khakis and Mark's Work Warehouse Denim Ski Masks!
I'm beginning to think that it might be far easier to list the people who DO NOT have access, in one way or another, to the public's communication information.
Every month it seems there's a new layer of corporate businesses with their fingers dug deeply into the public pie, assisting the primary spooks in their over-whelming task of gathering everyone's private and personal information into a useable portfolio for blackmail, theft and abuse.
All additional fees and costs incurred by requests of information by the public are from this point forward, to be paid for BY the government, out of collected taxes, (commonly known as the Yacht Fund.)
Since We The People already pay the government for its services, through individual wages and salaries, and produce an open-ended fund to cover additional expenses via taxation, there is absolutely no possible reason for the FOIA agency personnel to ever charge any kind of extra cost to the public, for doing the job they are already paid to do.
The simple truth of the matter, is that these additional charges are being used specifically as a means of discouraging the public from requesting information via FOIA.
It should be considered as, and treated as a criminal act, to use any ploy of any sort to defeat the stated purpose of the FOIA process, or to interfere with the public's ability to use the agency for the purpose it was "Supposedly" created for.
In a democratic country with an honestly elected government, such actions would be illegal and punished.
Sadly, this is not the case in the United States of America. ---
I've always made it a habit to try and think the unthinkable at least once a day.
What's most amazing though, is how often those thoughts turn out to be the internal policies practiced by what is traditionally considered to be the good guys.
Well, a small confession here and then we can close this up.
After years of being "eliminated", I decided to try various "tricks" to get my point across while not ringing the powers-that-be alarm bells.
I eventually noticed that True Wack Jobs, who espouse blatantly silly theories and obviously looney concepts, were ALWAYS allowed to continue unchecked and unhindered.
I also noticed that these people never wrote in terms of possibility, or even probability, but always wrote as given fact, the most insane and absurd of notions.
After a bit of pondering, it occurred to me that those who control content were allowing these folks to spew their wind because it produced tons of misleading ideas, reams of bad "conspiracy theories" to point back to and generally gave anyone who postulated non-official ideas, a bad name.
So I developed the method I use today, in order to keep on posting longer, because the boys at the top of the food chain think that by including no "could be" or "might be" in my message, that I am indeed a wack job conspiracy nut who can be ignored. I think they hope people read my posts and immediately dismiss the message as impossible, thereby aiding and abetting the official lies.
I could of course be entirely wrong about all of this, given that I was "gently prevented" from posting on TruthDig after a couple years, but it still works better than posting conjecture filled with "may be" and "might be" apologies. Saves a lot of words too.
While the fascists masquerading as your government don't really give a shit about how the people they rob feel about them, they do care about continuing to milk the sheep until the sheep are absolutely dry and empty.
That's why they manufactured the cover up.
That's why they shipped all the Nano-Thermite molten steel girders to China before anyone could examine them.
To keep people like you shopping and going to work and paying your taxes and casting your votes and generally remaining good little sheep who "...don't believe any of the 'Feds did 9/11' conspiracy theories.".
You see, plausible denial works really well. It gives those too frightened by obvious reality, a secondary "plausible" reality they can choose to believe in instead, as long as they thereafter ignore and discount all contrary evidence.
Like so many others who simply could not sleep at night knowing their lives were in the hands of insanely greedy assholes, who could not give a shit about anyone other than themselves, you fell for it hook line and taxes, simply because you're still afraid to accept the truth staring you in the face.
You prefer the pretty lie to the ugly truth.
You're not alone at least. In fact, you are among the majority of US citizens, although probably not the majority of world citizens.
Sadly, nothing short of a baton to the skull, unlawful incarceration and torture, will ever shake a belief forged from fear and faith.
Methinks you might have to first hire some people and form something you might call... oh, lets see, a Justice Department, or something like that. You know - a group of employees of the America People who uphold laws by punishing wrong-doers.
Can't get very far without something like that in place first.
The last political coincidence occurred in the year 28 BC, when the horse a Mongolian prince was about to mount, mounted the prince.
Since then, orchestration has been the keyword of all government functions.
Yes it bears a striking resemblance to all the other false flag operations undertaken by the CIA. They are not really all that imaginative and re-use any process that has worked in the past.
I mean seriously, the NSA has been spying on the Whole World, but somehow just happened to not know anything about ISIS until after it was fully operational, completely equipped with the best weapons and tech, and actively mobile.
I'd believe the story about the Horse and the Prince before I'd swallow that line of BS.
Nobody can offer the kinds of graft that they do - even kings and shahs and potentates of every stripe fail to possess the kinds of endless wealth that Fascism is capable of.
Some years back, the Yakusa applied for Party-hood in Japan. It wanted to become a political party.
What would you get if the MAFIA became a political party in the USA?
The Neo-Conservative, Pseudo-Democratic Dichotomy.
