Busting the People




You may have seen the Remote Area Medical project or something like it in a city near you. A two day free medical, vision and dental clinic set up in a  high school where folks such as this lady in the picture have been in line, camping out since 5pm yesterday to get a number for the start at 6am today.

The National Guard was used for security to keep the peace and the 1,200 slots for today were taken by 3am.

The extensive local media coverage of  "get your ticket and get in line" also serves the purpose of getting us accustomed to possible things to come, say food lines. 

This is what America has become.

Trillions for bankers and the war machine but just the mention of universal health care for all brings on the cries of socialism, communism and whatever other term is in vogue for not taking care of our own.

Take a look at the Cost of War to the United States. Go the trade offs and see how your state or city could use all of the blood money being thrown around the world for the benefit of those at the top of the killing chain.

If we weren't being robbed through taxation of our labor, I'd say millions of people would be glad to give a little more to some real charity causes that might lead to permanent help for the poor instead of just a few in a two day event. If our Congress and state legislatures weren't bought by the insurance and pharmaceutical corporations, they just might come up with a health care system that didn't  bankrupt individuals and states. If our food production wasn't corporate controlled and subsidized by their legislative friends and there was a focus on healthy foods instead of big profits, we could take a burden off of health care with a less poisoned population. Lots of ifs .....



The protests in Wisconsin are encouraging.  Taking a cue from the Egyptians may seem odd but maybe the time has come for Americans to take their frustrations to the streets and capitols. These "step by step, inch by inch" moves to widen the gap between the rich and poor have to be confronted.

The right wing media shills who are whoring for the moneyed interests are blasting these protests as anti-American. They essentially are saying everyone has to pay his share as we all but a few must become poor together.

The fake 'tea party' is even having counter controlled opposition rallies against the union supporters.  Obama and some of the dems give lip service to the unions but that's just political maneuvering. It's manipulation number 1 ... divide and conquer. The ends of the two party game are the same ... debt slavery and submission of the people.

Maybe we're seeing a grassroots 'blowback' but it has to go beyond the personal pay and benefit cuts of this protest. It has to be aimed at the bankers, the shadow government, the war promoters and their media lackeys.

If we don't, well ... we all may be getting in line to get that pair of eyeglasses or a tooth fixed or that last loaf of bread. The powers that be like us to beg before we die.

But slowly we see the 'elite' worry that they are losing control. I tend to think their plans of  'busting the people' won't be successful.





Americans arguing with Americans. Just what 'they' want to keep the focus off of the deeper criminal issues. 













When the outcome is in doubt, always evoke the ghost of Reagan.

Celebrate and then on to the next battle


Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.

              - Sun Tzu

A Mubarak Moment


A 'Mubarak Moment' could become a new pop phrase for when everyone from the media to the president appear to anticipate and report something that doesn't quite end up as their talk suggested.

Today was almost one of those "Dewey Wins" days.


Maybe it's the move that those in the background actually wanted. Give some power to the CIA helpmate Omar Suleiman and hopefully buy time to get their plans straight. It gives the appearance of appeasing Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Or maybe it's an attempt to really stir up the protests? How are those in the streets and the military going to react? Peaceful, repression, chaos? Will Egyptians kill more Egyptians? Send a message not only to the other restless Middle East countries but to Americans that taking protests too far will have consequences? Mubarak hinted at it.

The idea that this is one more step to 'balkenize' the Middle East is still in play. Plans that go back decades don't go away easily but plans can go astray.

Break this cycle of control of the people and never ending war?

It will take millions of people in the street ... with resolve ... and love. 

First in Egypt ... then in the rest of the world.

Sending in the Goon Squads - Jams for the Revolution


As described by NBC Nightly News, paid "goon squads" create some chaos in Cairo's Tahrir Square on  February 2, 2011.

I was looking to the past for some background jams for the revolution. Jimi Hendrix seemed appropriate.

"al Qaeda" hired as French strike buster?






Youths clash with police in Nanterre, outside Paris.

Nicolas Sarkozy received his marching orders from the bankers to implement austerity measures but things aren't going as well as planned.  With millions protesting and the threat of fuel supplies running out, the government said it would resort to force if necessary to prevent paralysis in the economy.   

It would be a desperate last resort move but Sarkozy may have to enlist his friends in the CIA and Mossad to help him out.

Saudi 'intelligence' sets the stage and the media obliges by making sure we get the message.
Saudi Arabian authorities have informed France about a new threat from al-Qaeda, French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux disclosed on Monday.

Quoting Saudi intelligence agencies, Hortefeux said the alert spoke of an imminent al-Qaeda threat to Europe, France in particular. "This is not about overestimating the threat or underestimating it. I am indicating, based on all these elements, that the threat is real," he added.

His remarks came during a joint TV and Radio interview during which he also revealed that Paris had been told to specifically watch out for Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), an off-shoot of the global terror outfit.  {see AQAP's new issue of Inspire magazine}

Nothing like a little false flag to end the French protests and force the attention away from banker and government crimes and back onto the Muslim 'threat.'

Noise Against the Bankers in Europe

At least some in Europe are taking to the streets against the globalist bankers. Unlike here in America where we kneel  to our slavemasters and point our fingers at the wrong enemy.



Quite the coincidence that on the day of the strikes and protests it's wall to wall 'news' of the al Qaeda "big deal plot" to terrorize Europe, personally signed off by Osama Bin Laden.  Even Adam Pearlman Gadahn comes out from his Mossad hiding place to release a new video. Plus the CIA just can't seem to assassinate al-Awlaki so he too gets some face time in front of the camera to threaten the West.

The fear card is not working as well as the bankers would like so they try and try again with this continuous inundation of lies.

Bravo to those in the streets. We'll see if they can make a difference.
