Advertisers and politicians have learned to capitalize on this biological aspect of humans also known as the </em><em>lizard brain</em><em>. Unfortunately our fast-paced lifestyles (mentally), combined with our relatively stagnate physical activity (driving, working at computer, etc.) causes our bodies to be ineffective at releasing built up stress which manifests in our thoughts as fear or anxiety.” </em> How To Release The Stress Stored In Our Bodies - Jacob Devaney <a href="https://upliftconnect.com/release-the-stress/">https://upliftconnect.com/release-the-stress/</a></p><p> </p><p>What if the media was deliberately inducing fear and panic about the COVID 19 coronavirus as a way to manipulate the public, to keep us in a state of anxiety so we are more easily controlled, manipulated and compliant to a predetermined social reengineering agenda? What if the usual advertising and mind control techniques were being ramped up by the 1% to dupe us into going along with a prearranged agenda, an agenda designed to garner more power and authority for them at our expense?</p><p>All societies have some form of leadership and governance; whether it is so called primitive stateless societies where rule is shared by the elders of the village or tribe to supposedly sophisticated forms of government like republics where the leaders are preselected by political parties or special interest groups then voted on by the people. Every society has leaders formal and informal, known and secret.</p><p> In this country we live under the illusion of democracy. We think our elected officials do our bidding for the common good and benefit of us all. This is not the reality of power in this country on the national level. If you doubt what I say pay close attention to current events then juxtapose what you see and your beliefs with the research of Professor G. William Domhoff on his Website <strong>Who Rules America</strong> <a href="https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/">https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu</a>.</p><p>There he succinctly says “As argued in <em>Who Rules America?</em> the owners and top executives of the largest corporations, banks, investment firms, and agri-businesses come together as a corporate community. Their enormous economic resources give them the ‘structural economic power’ that is the basis for dominating the federal government through lobbying, campaign finance, appointments to key government positions, and a policy-planning network made up of foundations, think tanks, and policy-discussion groups. The CEOs and owners in the corporate community, along with the top executives at the foundations, think tanks, and policy-discussion groups, work together as a leadership group that I call the power elite. However, they do fight among themselves sometimes, leading to moderate-conservative and ultra-conservative factions in the power elite. This class-domination theory developed out of Power Structure Research, going back to the 1950s.” <a href="https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/power/">https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/power/</a></p><p> These powerful factions vie for domination and control of the system and they use their media, education and religions to mold public opinion, manufacture consent then use the government to coerce compliance to their wishes and agenda. They craft sophisticated propaganda campaigns to get their target audiences both small and large to go along with their programs.</p><p>Our hero Marcus Mosiah Garvey warned us years ago about propaganda. He said, “Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized peoples to convert others against their will. We of the Negro race are suffering more than any toer race in the world from propaganda-Propaganda to destroy our hopes, our ambitions and our confidence in self.” Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey Edited by Amy Jacques–Garvey page 15.</p><p>The COVID 19 situation is being propagandized as a psychological weapon so we will become fearful, anxious and compliant to an organized group’s program. Our anxiety and fear make us more susceptible to heightened levels of internal and external stress which in term impacts our bodies, our social surroundings and our health.</p><p>I am not saying the virus is a hoax I am saying it is being used to jack up fear and panic for nefarious purposes. What purposes? I am not exactly sure at this time other than a grab of more and more authority. But consider this, there are almost eight billion people on this planet and seasonal flu are normal global occurrences for many of the people on earth. <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/its-in-the-data-the-common-flu-had-12-times-more-hospitalizations-than-covid-19-yet-no-media-hysteria/">https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/its-in-the-data-the-common-flu-had-12-times-more-hospitalizations-than-covid-19-yet-no-media-hysteria/</a></p><p>One researcher pointed out the mortality figures for COVID 19 is being blown totally out of proportion in relation to the annual global flu figures and mortality rates. “Finally, let’s look at figures for ordinary flu, for the whole planet. A study published in the journal, Pharmacy and Therapeutics states, “Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 9% of the world’s population is affected annually, with up to 1 billion infections, 3 to 5 million severe cases, and 300,000 to 500,000 deaths each year.” A BILLION cases EVERY YEAR. Is this called a pandemic? Is the whole world locked down every year? No.</p><p> Read his full report at <a href="https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/03/26/corona-the-case-number-game/">https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/03/26/corona-the-case-number-game/</a> then ask yourself why would these people do this? Could it be to prime our consciousness so we are duped or forced to take whatever vaccine is in the wings ready to be rolled out to combat COVID 19?! Could it be another naked power grab by the people who rule America, the people G. William Domhoff talks about in his book, his research and on his Website?

<p><strong>Interesting Coincidence</strong></p>

<p>“Governments will need to partner with traditional and social media companies to research and develop nimble approaches to countering misinformation. This will require developing the ability to flood media with fast, accurate, and consistent information. Public health authorities should work with private employers and trusted community leaders such as faith leaders, to promulgate factual information to employees and citizens. Trusted, influential private-sector employers should create the capacity to readily and reliably augment public messaging, manage rumors and misinformation, and amplify credible information to support emergency public communications.” <a href="http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html">http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> On October 18<sup>th</sup>, 2019 the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the John Hopkins Center for Health Security held an “exercise” in New York City called <strong>Event 201</strong> to simulate the spread of an extremely contagious Coronavirus pandemic engulfing the planet. Fifteen leaders from business, government and public health met to table top scenarios about a contagious virus that infected pigs in Brazil, gets out of hand, attacks humans and rapidly spreads around the world infecting millions. In their scenario sixty-five million people died!</p>
<p>I am not making it up; you can read the report and the recommendations on the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security Website <a href="http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html">http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recommendations.html</a>. There is nothing wrong with table top exercising, proactive strategic planning or simulations but when you factor in the fact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has supported some very controversial projects and initiatives such as vaccines and sterilization and they partnered in securing a US patent for “an attenuated coronavirus” a few years ago that raises eyebrows. I am not making this up. You can read this for yourself here <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/just-a-coincidence-a-u-s-patent-for-an-attenuated-coronavirus-was-filed-in-2015-and-granted-in-2018">http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/just-a-coincidence-a-u-s-patent-for-an-attenuated-coronavirus-was-filed-in-2015-and-granted-in-2018</a> and <a href="https://www.hli.org/2019/06/how-the-gates-foundation-harmsnot-helps-human-development/&nbsp">https://www.hli.org/2019/06/how-the-gates-foundation-harmsnot-helps-human-development/&nbsp</a>;</p>
<p>The Gates foundation has been accused by some of promoting eugenics, racist population control. <a href="https://medium.com/@jacob.levich/bill-gates-and-the-myth-of-overpopulation-ca3b1d89680">https://medium.com/@jacob.levich/bill-gates-and-the-myth-of-overpopulation-ca3b1d89680</a> Of course there are always two sides to every story, I just don’t believe in coincidences. Especially when white papers, training exercises and table top simulations precede or occur simultaneously with the very events they are planning for, gaming and simulating!</p>
<p> Did the October 18<sup>th</sup> table top simulation about a Coronavirus epidemic like the one now being hyped by the corporate media have anything to do with the fact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was granted a patent two years ago for a Coronavirus like the one popping up around the world now? That is beyond coincidental.</p>
<p> It is reminiscent to the numerous training exercises that took place on 9-11 that prevented the normal military protocols and responses which lead to the attacks and the totally bogus global war on terror. It is eerily similar to the training exercises in London that simulated a bombing the same day an actual “terrorist bombing” occurred in the London subway system in 2005. Kinda makes you go hmmm?</p>
<p>The October simulation collaboration resulted in a report that you can read for yourself at <a href="http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/media">http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/media</a>. It seems the ruling elites always have a plan or response to these occurrences. Remember when 9-11 happened the government already had the PATRIOT ACT in the wings, and this current “pandemic” raises so many questions it really makes you wonder. Most people I speak to say this virus is man made. I can’t say for sure whether it is or isn’t; my hunch is that it is.</p>
<p>Over the past few years we’ve experienced the Influenza, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, SARS and MERS. None of them were like the plague that killed millions during the middle ages in Europe. SARS and MERS are variations of cornonavirus, they are respiratory ailments. However,the reaction to this virus is way beyond what was done for those viruses and this one is supposedly new! So it just happened that the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum gamed exercises about a pandemic three months before this strain hit Asia, Iran, Europe and the US; and just coincidentally Bill and Melinda Gates are part owners of a patent for a Coronavirus? That’s deep.</p>
<p>I looked up the World Economic Forum and it says it’s a Non Government Organization. Its Website says, “The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. The World Economic Forum provides a platform for the world’s 1,000 leading companies to shape a better future. As a membership organization, the Forum engages businesses in projects and initiatives – online and offline – to address industry, regional and systemic issues.” <a href="https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum">https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum</a> </p>
<p> Shape a better future for whom? The World Economic Forum isn’t a round the way neighborhood organization. They are a big time 1% organization.</p>
<p>The corporate media keeps telling us how rapidly COVID 19 is spreading. While that may be true, keep in mind there are about nine billion people in the world today and the number of people suffering from COVID 19 is extremely small when you consider nine billion people! There are three hundred million people in the US and the number of people infected by COVID 19 in the US is actually meager when you consider three hundred million people. The actual numbers worldwide are not reliable because we don’t know that much about it or how many people actually have it. Why the hysteria? Why the total lockdown? What’s that about?!</p>
<p>The lock down seems extreme but you never know. Personally I think something is fishy. Time will tell.</p>

The Internet and device providers have changed their terms of service so that all data that you use on their networks or devices belong to them, somehow. This is precious data to them as they can either sell it or use it for profiling purposes. Everything we do on the Internet leaves a trail back to us. Search engine entries, shopping lists, e-mail addresses and so much more which is ripe for the taking. Now governments and their intelligence agencies want a piece of that action and they have new tools to ascertain our intentions and possible future actions.” Trapped In The Grid: How Net-Centric Devices And Appliances Provide Voluminous Information To Intelligence Agencies And Their Business Partners <a href="http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/4827">http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/4827</a>Eric Arthur Blair who wrote under the pen name George Orwell penned a novel called 1984 in which he depicted a time in the not too distant future when a cunning central government uses constant surveillance, misinformation, fear, nationalism and the threat of perpetual war to control the people. The main character in the novel was named Winston Smith. His job was to rewrite and reinterpret history by painting it in the perspective of the ruling elites. The central government conditioned and brainwashed the people to accept lies and a language of disinformation as part of their every day existence. Winston thinks for himself thus he becomes a target for more surveillance, intrigue and intervention. That intervention included deception, betrayal and torture in an attempt to get Winston to confirm, enjoy servitude and an induced semi-comatose state to go along with the Big Brother program.What sprang from Blair's imagination exists here and now in real time reality. We are living in the exact social environment and psychological milieu Blair (Orwell) described. Big Brother is alive and well in the US of A. Since the shift towards a totalitarian police state has been fairly gradual (up until recent years) and the corporate media which is a key component of the fascist Big Brother propaganda program is being used to distract us, lie to us and create a false reality at the behest of the ruling elites; we didn't/don't see it coming. We're like frogs in a pot of water where the heat is being increased incrementally rather than all at once. Nevertheless their plan is to cook us to death, it will just take longer.We are living in the exact same world envisioned by George Orwell. We are seeing a gradual decay and decline of society, we are constantly spied upon by the government, we are viewed as threats if we dissent or criticize the powers that be and the government uses brutal and lethal force to put down any type of resistance and opposition to their program. Winston who was a fairly well of member of the party in control lived this same reality! We are in the grip of a fascist police state. If you doubt what I'm saying meditate on how the young people in the Occupy Wall Street movement have been treated while big time government and Wall Street insider thieves and crooks get off Scott free. (Bernie Madoff is only in jail because he turned himself in.) We are in a constant state of war and have been since WWII. We are led to believe (as in all past wars) these wars (and potential wars) are righteously being waged for freedom and safety.Despite the lies of the government, the military and the telecommunications industry we are under constant surveillance, spied upon, with citizens informing on each other and we have been for quite some time; even before 9-11! The bogus pretext for all this spying and surveillance is of course “national security” and the “war on terror”. No one ever raises the question, how can you wage war on terror, when terror is neither a place nor a people? Terror is a tactic, a tactic the shadow governments of the ruling elites (whether its the KKK or the Illuminati) have used for millennium. The mind control apparatus' (organized religion, media and educational system) jobs are to dumb us down, keep us afraid and fearful (full of fear) so the authorities can “protect” us from the bogymen they created in the first place; The Devil, or real people like Osama bin-Laden, Saddam Hussein or Joseph Koney.One way they keep us under constant observation is through technology, the Internet, social media like Google, Facebook, Twitter and even cable television. These inventions are the tools being used by the corporations, intelligence agencies and shadow government to spy on our every move, our thoughts and activities, along with the use of cameras, satellites and other devices. The most sinister aspect of all this is, we have been tricked into buying the very gizmos and gadgets and using the very tools, software, platforms and applications employed to pry into our privacy and indoctrinate us into the New World Order !It is so bizarre. We are actually assisting and cooperating in our own demise as free minded sentient beings. We are being conditioned for servitude, psychological conformity, mindlessness and peonage under the guise of progress, convenience, having “friends” and security. This is not just a local or USA phenomenon. The same thing or worse is happening all over the world. Europe is increasingly under surveillance with cameras and other devices. “Europe's largest 'white hat' hacker group, the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), recently reverse engineered and analyzed an anonymously submitted malware program. Nothing out of the ordinary for security researchers. However, to its surprise, the group discovered this particular malware was commissioned by German police and used to spy on German citizens. As if state-sponsored eavesdropping were not enough, this malware has also been found with remote control or back door functionalities that enable the uploading and executing of other programs, including the siphoning of personal data. Most concerning is the news that a laptop had the malware added by the German authorities when the user passed through customs at an airport... The German action followed the leaking of documents revealing via Wikileaks that the Bavarian police had commissioned the home-based security firm DigiTech to design a Trojan for its own use. What the CCC report and others show is that the Trojan program, Backdoor:W32/R2D2.A (also known as 0zapftis), was being used to go much farther than plain wiretapping.” State-Sponsored Malware Revealed in Europe <a href="http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=717&doc_id=234519">http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=717&doc_id=234519</a>That's just the back end, the final product. It gets worse when you consider what is happening just to get the materials to manufacture this stuff. The fact is millions of Africans living in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other regions of Central Africa have perished because of the ongoing wars being fought over minerals and resources such oil, gold, uranium and specifically coltan the pivotal mineral used to make computers, cell phones, notebooks, laptops, iPads etc. How many Africans had to die for us to sport the latest smart phones, iPhones and laptops? How many Africans have been killed so Big Brother can expand its global spy capabilities?These gizmos are merely a part of an even larger network of spying and surveillance. “ There have been a series of related and interesting developments in the field of global intelligence gathering. The NSA is building a brand new data center in Utah in order to connect with some new intelligence sharing systems such as the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the Global Information Grid. The Global Information Grid is a massive military system which pulls information from every piece of sensory military hardware in space, land, sea, or air and manages it. The Defense Intelligence Enterprise takes which is already in place and shares that data with national intelligence agencies and their respective international partners. This behemoth is nothing but trouble as citizens around the world are being caught up in this information whorehouse. I am sure that most people would not appreciate their private conversations end up on foreign military or intelligence networks.” Trapped In The Grid: How Net-Centric Devices And Appliances Provide Voluminous Information To Intelligence Agencies And Their Business Partners <a href="http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/4827">http://stratrisks.com/geostrat/4827</a>This is Big Brother mind control at its best. The ruling elites knew no one was going to knowingly buy something that is going to be used to enslave them or spy on them. So they had to develop a way to make the products “hip” “Kool” and “to die for” so we would buy them. So they did what they did to market cigarettes in the 30' 40's 50's and 60's, they made it appealing and desirable. They targeted specific groups like the college kids,younger people and certain professionals to get them in the pipeline. Once they became “hip” and utilitarian the funds and marketing were made available to popularize them. We have been feed a bunch of lies about the origin and development of Google and Facebook and the other tentacles in the spy network to induce us to buy them and use their products like gmail.com,YouTube Googel TV and Twitter. We have been conditioned to think this is progress, that they are merely the latest consumer products and status symbols, when in reality they are part of the shadow government's surveillance network and global spy grid.Am I saying these inventions were created by the elites? Not necessarily, they just backed them once they figured out how they could exploit them for the New World Order. Have you ever asked yourself why these products are so universal or why they are supported by almost everything? Is there anything that doesn't ask you to use Facebook or follow them on Twitter? That's so you'll use them which will allow Big Brother to keep track of you, know what you are thinking and what you are doing. Have you ever asked yourself why and how Bill Gates of Microsoft or Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook were able to create a virtual monopoly in their particular marketplace? It's because the shadow government pumped money into them and uses them along with the other telecommunications giants they own to be part of a total global surveillance system to spy and keep track of all who use them. So the smart phone, iPhone or iPad you are bragging about and carrying around with you is really Big Brother's way of keeping tabs on you. But that's not their ultimate goal. They will only use these until such time they can convince us to allow them to implant an RFID chip in us. And they are working on that as we speak. In the future Big Brother won't just be in your pocket, it will be embedded inside of you.

The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.</p><p>For years I have been attempting to alert people to the growing Nazification of the US political system into a totally fascist, depraved police state that poses a significant danger to the whole world. Daily more and more signs indicate the moral rot at the core of this country is metastasizing to the point it is beyond redemption or healing. During the last few months President Barack Obama has signed legislation or issued executive orders that would make Adolph Hitler proud. In December he signed a controversial bill called the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011, a Draconian bill that makes it legal for the United States to indefinitely detain, without legal representation or trial anyone suspected of but not proven to be a “terrorist” including US citizens. <br /> The ACLU was appalled at the signing. This law violates both US and international laws. “The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield. Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress now assert that the NDAA should be used in the same way again. The ACLU believes that any military detention of American citizens or others within the United States is unconstitutional and illegal, including under the NDAA. In addition, the breadth of the NDAA’s detention authority violates international law because it is not limited to people captured in the context of an actual armed conflict as required by the laws of war.” <a href="http://www.aclu.org/blog/content/president-obama-signs-indefinite-detention-law">http://www.aclu.org/blog/content/president-obama-signs-indefinite-detention-law</a> <br />Obama is supposed to be an expert on the US Constitution. Based upon his actions on this and several other bills, you couldn't convince me he knows diddly about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights let alone what it means to abide by his sworn obligation to uphold and defend it from all enemies foreign and domestic. This from a bi-racial man who is married to a native born black woman thoroughly conscious of the history of racial animus and injustice of this country. Believe me I get it, Obama was raised by his white grandparents and was relatively sheltered from racial bigotry but come on; this goes way beyond the pale. He is supposed to know the law, he taught Constitutional Law in Illinois. So why does he continuously go along with the abrogation of the law for “security reasons” many of which are totally bogus? Why does he keep pushing the discredited Bu$h agenda if he is supposed to be about “change”?<br />Unlike most white folks, I don't hold the US Constitution up as some holy and sacrosanct document crafted by righteous and all wise white men; because it was the very document that codified slavery as a form of raising money for the US Treasury which also helped the South politically by allowing them to count our enslaved ancestors as three fifths of a person for Congressional apportionment purposes. “Slavery is seen in the Constitution in a few key places. The first is in the Enumeration Clause, where representatives are apportioned. Each state is given a number of representatives based on its population - in that population, slaves, called 'other persons,' are counted as three-fifths of a whole person. This compromise was hard-fought, with Northerners wishing that slaves, legally property, be uncounted, much as mules and horses are uncounted. Southerners, however, well aware of the high proportion of slaves to the total population in their states, wanted them counted as whole persons despite their legal status. The three-fifths number was a ratio used by the Congress in</p><p>contemporary legislation and was agreed upon with little debate. In Article 1, Section 9, Congress is limited, expressly, from prohibiting the 'Importation' of slaves, before 1808. The slave trade was a bone of contention for many, with some who supported slavery abhorring the slave trade. The 1808 date, a compromise of 20 years, allowed the slave trade to continue, but placed a date-certain on its survival. Congress eventually passed a law outlawing the slave trade that became effective on January 1, 1808.” <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_slav.html">http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_slav.html</a> <br /> As noble as that may sound/read in reality the US Constitution also called for a ten dollar tax to be levied on imported persons, (they were talking about our ancestors but cunningly cloaked their intent and language by not using the words African or slaves). Article One Section 9 of the US Constitution reads, “The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.” That ten dollars went into the treasury of the fledgling nation. So you see the US government also made money off of the slave trade an issue proponents of reparations often over look!<br />But I digress, this is about Obama and the Nazification of the US of A. Obama also signed an extension of the USA PATRIOT ACT a bill that eviscerates the US Constitution a bill that was originally signed by most Congress critters even though they never read it! A bill that had been written well before 9-11 even happened! Yet once more and again Obama the purported “man of change” signed an extension to a bill that undermines the basic rights and privacy of all of us. <br />Why am I making this a big deal? Because we've been down this road before. Read the Church and Pike Committee reports on abuses by the FBI and CIA during the 1970s which include COINTELPRO (FBI) and Operations CHAOS (CIA) and others. The Church Committee report said, “Our investigation has confirmed that warning. We have seen segments of our Government, in their attitudes and action, adopt tactics unworthy of a democracy, and occasionally reminiscent of the tactics of totalitarian regimes. We have seen a consistent pattern in which programs initiated with limited goals, such as preventing criminal violence or identifying foreign spies, were expanded to what witnesses characterized as 'vacuum cleaners', 'sweeping in information about lawful activities of American citizens.' The tendency of intelligence activities to expand beyond their initial scope is a theme which runs through every aspect of our investigative findings. Intelligence collection programs naturally generate ever-increasing demands for new data. And once intelligence has been collected, there are strong pressures to use it against the target. The pattern of intelligence agencies expanding the scope of their activities was well described by one witness, who in 1970 had coordinated an effort by most of the intelligence community to obtain authority to undertake more illegal domestic activity: <br />The risk was that you would get people who would be susceptible to political considerations as opposed to national security considerations, or would construe political considerations to be national security considerations, to move from the, kid with a bomb to the kid with a picket sign, and from the kid with the picket sign to the kid with the bumper sticker of the opposing candidate. And you just keep going down the line.” <a href="http://thirdworldtraveler.com/FBI/Church_Committee_Report.html">http://thirdworldtraveler.com/FBI/Church_Committee_Report.html</a> <br />That was in the 1970s when what the Church and Pike Committees discovered was illegal. The US Congress, Bu$h's and Obama's actions now make such activity legal!! Obama just signed a bill that makes peaceful demonstrations near federal buildings or where special events take place a federal offense!!? We are at a moral crossroads and a critical juncture in our existence as a country. With his forays into Yemen, Somalia, Libya, by sending Special Ops into Uganda and prepping for war in Syria and Iran, Obama is proving he is as much a warmonger as any psychopathic white man. Obama the Bomber's increasing use of weaponized drones overseas and potentially here at home is alarming and should raise serious moral questions and concerns but they don't. The sight of riot clad police (the US version of the Nazi Gestapo?) beating up on peaceful Occupy Wall Street demonstrators while crooks like Jon Corzine of MF Global, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs go Scott free tells you a lot about where this country is and where it is headed.</p><p>-30-</p></div>
