The American Ruling Class

Coincidence, or careful pre-planning?

I probably should have mentioned this on September 11th, the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 incidents, but it is definitely worth noting as an afterthought. Quite interestingly, it was on September 11th of 1990 that then President George H W Bush, while addressing a joint session of Congress, made a speech touting the New World Order, and saying, "We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a New World Order – can emerge."

I am familiar with a local Tea party group, and have attended a number of their meetings. Because of the negative publicity they refrain from publicly calling themselves tea partyers. Instead when talking to people about candidate they support they make a point to talk about issues not party loyalties.

I believe that this is true of most people who consider themselves in support of TEA Party objectives and values, and this is no doubt the reason why Democrat and Rebublican leadership shrug off the TEA Party as a relatively small and continually diminishing cross section of voters, when in fact the TEA Party movement is really a massive involvement of quiet supporters who don't say much but who have the same objectives in mind - that being smaller and fiscally responsible government, and lower taxes. Anyone and everyone who works for a living and pays taxes would obviously share these objectives, even though a great many of them would not be quick to identify themselves as being aligned with the TEA Party.

I have seen, several times, where someone has taken the Bill of Rights, (from the Constitution), updated the language, without in any way changing the meaning, and then done 'on the street' interviews, saying these are being PROPOSED as 'changes to the law', and inevitably the vast majority of respondents A) DON'T recognise them, and B) are 'opposed' to having them enacted.
You may well be right that the 'core curriculum' nonsense being promulgated right now is a further attempt to dumb down the populace, but its been going on for a long time . Not that you haven't been saying that, all along.
I mean, when the 'people' can't even recognise the basic rights granted to them under the Constituition, thats pretty bad!

Saw a 'news' story, recently, where some researcher in a museum found an 8th grade test, from like,...1897. The resercher had a college degree, but readily admitted, neither they nor anyone they had shown it to could have passed this test, or even come close! And, he said it wasn't mearly because the ?'s involved things which were related to the era, or whatever; they were just much HARDER questions, and there was NO multiple guess.

I've seen many similar stories, over the years. But hey, there's no 'dumbing down' of the populace,......right?

WHAT PART OF 'IF YOU WANNA MAKE SOMETHING WORSE, GET THE FED. GOVERNMENT INVOLVED!!' don't people understand???

Wanna lower the costs, for a college education? Get the Government out of making student loans!

Ahhh, its too late to do anything, we're all scewed!THEY are going to continue to do, what THEY have been doing, and there is nothing we can do about it!Jim

Many weeks ago a grass roots effort began to arrange for a 2 million biker ride upon the nation's capitol on September 11, 2013. They didn't quite achieve their objective of 2 million riders, but realistic estimates place the number at around 1.4 million. That's quite a showing, and certainly a huge news event, but it was noticeably absent from much of the Mainstream Media reporting of the day. Also, the DC traffic cameras which provide live feeds to the Internet were intentionally shut down that day so that people wanting to view the riders had nothing to watch.



What has been widely reported about the bike ride are two stories - one being that it was staged as a tribute to the victims of 9/11/2001, and another saying that it was to counter a planned "1 million Muslim" demonstration at the Washington Mall, however this event was really about a lot more than that. The riders, who were denied an event permit by the National Park Service, rode to Washington despite the denial and openly voiced their anger at authorities for attempting to curtail the ride, and this helped turn the planned event into an enormous protest against big government interference and control.

Elizabeth Fisher, a writer to The Insanity Journals, wrote in her article, "A Real Sleeping Giant is Awake, "Warning to the Powers that Be and The American Propaganda Machine: The American Patriot is waking up. They are armed with a constitution that obligates and mandates that each American protect their rights by any means necessary. You can not silence them, you can not manipulate the media to bind and gag them. You do not have enough prisons, weapons, or man power to stop them. If the display of patriotism on 9/11/13 did not speak clearly enough, here is a word of advice: Tread lightly and walk a fine line. When we stand United and defend our rights as Americans, NO ONE can stop us."

These bikers obviously have a deep disdain for Barry and his administration, and for a tyrannical government in general, and it is good to see that this "sleeping giant" has been "awakened." On the other hand, though, it would appear that most of them have yet to be awakened to the reality that 9/11 was an inside job rather than the "official" false flag story of Islamic terrorists having masterminded those events. It would have been great to see these riders converge on Washington in demand of a new and real 9/11 investigation, and a demand that those who really masterminded and carried out the 9/11 deception be brought to trial and held accountable.

And to help answer the question of who was really behind the 9/11 attacks, I hope that these bikers would take an hour off from their bike riding to watch this video with an open mind. If one hour is too much to ask, how about 4 and 1/2 minutes of this video, or 5 minutes to watch this one, 9/11 - The Truth in 5 minutes, which has long been one of my favorites.

A few minutes ago, in one of those rare moments that I actually turn the TV on to see what the latest b.s. the MSM is feeding to viewers, the channel that came up was the History Channel, and that's because my wife had been watching it earlier in the day. Anyways, it started out on the tail end of an advertisement (at least I think it was an advertisement) for Hershey chocolate bars. A hungry man was eying what appeared to be his child's Hershey bar, and on the table next to the man I briefly noticed what appeared to be a marijuana joint. The implication, of course, was that he had been smoking some pot and was overcome with the munchies. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this ad, or whatever it was. It sure seemed like it was a Hershey bar ad, and if it was then it is the first time I have ever seen an ad in which marijuana was associated with the product being advertised. Also, if true, it seems strange that Hershey has sued a California marijuana dealer for ripping off their trademarks because they didn't want their candies associated with marijuana. The pot-laced candies, with names like Rasta Reese's, Keef Kat, Puff-A-Mint Pattie and Stoney Rancher, were sold to California state-authorized medicinal marijuana shops, according to police, and the stickers on the packaging resembled labels of Hershey's Reese's Peanut Cups, Kit Kat, York Peppermint Pattie and Jolly Rancher.

I don't know what you saw, on T.V. I have believed for some time, tho, that MJ WILL become 'legal', in all 50 states, for 'recreational' use.
The reasons given will be numerous; it 'deprives' the drug cartels of a major cash flow, it reduces the 'strain' on the jails, etc. And in some cases these 'reasons' may be valid. But the main reason will be the TAXES.

With Billions being spent on MJ every year, the only $ the Gov't is getting from that is in fines, and that is a net loser for them, when the cost of incarceration is factored in. Follow the $.

Of coarse, it will also further contribute to 'dumbing down' the population, as in "What are you STONED, or just stupid?"

Whether all part of some master plan, of just an adaption to reality, no way the Gov't is going to continue to 'allow' that much 'commerce' to continue, untaxed! Its only a matter of time,....Jim

In 2008, then Senator Barry Obummer said this about raising the US debt limit:

"The problem is...that the way Bush has done it over the last 8 years, is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China, in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from 5 trillion for the first 42 Presidents - number 43 added 4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over 9 trillion dollars of debt that we are gonna have to pay back - $30,000 for every man woman and child. That's irresponsible! It's unpatriotic!"

Now, as the so-called "President," Barry has managed to increase the national debt by another $8 trillion in just the first 5 years of his term in office. That's $1.6 trillion per year, and at that rate Barry will have increased the national debt by nearly $13 trillion by the end of his 8 year escapade. I'd be quick to agree that Bush blew away far too many of our tax dollars on costly false flag wars and such, but Barry will end up blowing away more than 3 times as much as Bush and that is truly obscene, irresponsible, and unpatriotic.

Today Barry told a bold-faced lie, stating that raising the debt limit would not increase the national debt - that it would simply pay the bills that we already owe. Since Barry came into office we have not had a budget. Instead, Congress has voted to pass Continuing Resolutions every few months to fund government by raising the debt ceiling limit, and that's why we are officially $17 trillion in debt, but actually in debt for way more. Whenever the debt ceiling is raised, Congress simply spends more and maxes out that limit, which always results in an increase to national debt. Instead of raising the ceiling, government should be looking at all possible ways to cut spending, and cutting all spending on ObummerCare is a really good way to start. The Republican plan to do just that will of course result in a "Mexican stand-off" when the Republican legislation defunding Obummercare reaches the Senate, where the Senate will refuse to go along and will blame "certain elements within the Republican Party" (the TEA Party caucus, of course) for forcing a government shutdown. Obummer, Harry Reid, and the MSM, are already painting that picture and trying hard to sell it to the public. Yesterday, CNN's Anderson Cooper had 4 guests on his show and was discussing the debt ceiling issue. All four guests agreed that failure to raise the debt limit would result in financial chaos and a further downgrade of the US credit rating by Standard & Poor. All four also agreed that the first credit downgrade, in 2011, was the fault of the TEA Party for fighting against raising the debt limit. How totally absurd is that? Standard and Poor made it quite clear that their reason for downgrading was because of wild and unsustainable spending which the Congress had failed to get under control, and because there was no viable plan in place to reduce the national debt. The TEA Party wasn't even around when that debt was incurred, and they have been the only group in Congress that has attempted to do the things that would be necessary to stop the downgrading and return our credit rating to what it once was. Is the major portion of the public gullible enough to believe what they have been hearing? I guess we will soon see when the Mexican stand-off comes down to the wire. Who will flinch first - the Senate or the House? And if the Senate caves then will Barry claim that he has the right, and the obligation under the 14th Amendment, to veto the defunding measure and issue an executive order to increase the debt limit? He's surely not going to go along with defunding his ObummerCare masterpiece of crap, even if it actually comes to a government shutdown which he will totally blame on the TEA Party. He'll pull out all stops to try and get the public to demand that Congress immediately provide full funding. Each day until he gets that he will tell the public frightening stories about how a government shutdown will be catastrophic and will result in non-issuance of Social Security, Medicare, and welfare payments, as well as non-issuance of pay checks to government workers and civilian sub-contractors working on government projects. But how could that possibly make sense to anyone when the Republicans have already said that they will fund everything in government except ObamaCare? There would be no financial crisis, government would continue, and everyone would get their checks on time. The only thing that wouldn't happen is ObummerCare, which at least 70% of the public doesn't want anyways. And since it hasn't yet gone into effect, no one would be losing anything. The solution to the current situation is quite obviously a no-brainer, but you can be assured that the drama and the blaming will continue unabated.

At the end of 2012, in a YouGov poll, 29% of Americans supported the idea of a state being allowed to secede from the Union if a majority of their residents supported it, while only 1 in 5 Americans who were polled said they would support a secession movement in their own state.

Quite interesting, and quite astonishing, a new poll now has 96.7% of Americans supporting secession of other states than theirs, and 86.6% supported their own state seceding. Respondents listed Texas, Alaska, and Arizona as the top three states, in that order, which they would expect to see seceding.

Yes, and note how the doctored up version actually starts with a few musical notes which certainly weren't being heard by those firemen.

I would guess that by "40 seconds" you mean the length of each 20 second clip added together. The duration of the tower's descent to ground was about 12 seconds, which is close to free fall speed, which of course would have been impossible except by planned demolition. If the "official" explanation of the upper floors of the building collapsing and "pancaking" each successive floor below them had any merit at all then the upper stories would have had to fall upon the path of greatest possible resistance (the undamaged sections below, which amounted to about three quarters or more of the building's structure, and the elapsed time would have been far greater. And that is just one reason why more than 2,000 architects and engineers agree that the "official" story has no merit whatsoever, and have signed a petition demanding a full, real, and independent investigation.

I would highly recommend watching the video "911 Blueprint For Truth-The Architecture Of Destruction" which was produced by Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth, which I believe to be the best documentary evidence showing what really happened to the 3 World Trade Center buildings that were destroyed on 9/11/2001. This video has absolutely nothing to do with theory, and everything to do with actual and irrefutable evidence, scientific analysis, and structural physics which demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that the "official" 9/11 story is knowingly false even to those who still cling to it and promote it.

Quotable quote of the day....

The House vote on defunding Obummercare is slated for today, and this is what one congressman who will be voting on the bill has to say about it:

"This would be the first time in two years and nine months I actually get to vote for defunding on a must-pass legislation," Representative Tim Huelskamp, a Kansas Republican, said yesterday. He said that "almost all Republicans" would vote for the plan. Those who don't "would be those who want a primary opponent in the next election. I don't think anybody wants to do that too badly."

Between those who actually WANT O'bummercare, cause they THINK they, personally, will benefit, and those who are brainwashed by the lamestream media, O'bummer and co.,and the RINO's, I fear most people WILL end up 'buying' the B.S. that will be put out, in the upcoming fight, i.e. that its all the 'fault' of the Tea partyers, etc.

Most sheeple are just too caught up in their daily lives, to REALLY know/care whats going on,....

On the OTHER hand, as your recent post on seceeding from the Union demonstrates, the people are beginning to get really p*ssed off; I think the 'people' (sheeple) are like some big, dumb animal, like an ox. An ox goes along, passively, as long as it gets fed, etc. Takes a LOT to get it p*ssed off. And, when it does, it happens slowly, and builds without a lot of visible signs. And then,...BAM! All a sudden its running amok, and goring anyone it can. Maybe thats whats coming? The Sheeple waking up?

I'd like to think there is a limit to what the sheeple are willing to tolerate, and therefore what TPTB can get away with, and MAYBE this whole Syria thing was a sign THEY had gone too far. Or, am I just being,..'optimistic'? LOL, ME being optimistic? Jim

Hey, all

We have at times talked a little bit about 'survivalist' stuff, as in what to do when the SHTF, and I saw a lamestream media story recent which relates.
It was in Colo., where they had these terrible floods.
An elderly couple woke up to hear rumbling coming down the street, and realised they had to evacuate. They had 2 cars, so she got in one, he in the other.She drove several blocks, and realised her situation was untenable, so drove off the road to higher ground, where she was 'safe'.
He procceded to 'make it' to the local high school, which was the emergency shelter.But, he ran around looking for her, and when he couldn't find her, he went BACK out, to try to find her.
Meanwhile, instead of staying where she was, she started driving around, trying to find him.
She was rescued from her vehicle, in 3-4' deep water, by some recuers who commandeered a bulldoser, and so made it to the shelter. His truck was found, all smashed to sh*t, in a wash.
The media tried to say it was 'romantic', but to me it seems obvious and you might want to have a conversation NOW, with family members. If seperated, in such a situation, each person takes esponsibility for getting THEMSELVES to 'safety',and once SAFE, STAY there! If this couple had done that, they would both have been fine. As it is, he is (probably) gone, (they hadn't found his body, as of air-time), and she WOULD have been gone, as well, if not for the bulldoser.Nuff said? Jim

[jdodson]

Good advice, also..

They had 2 cars, so she got in one, he in the other.

Now BOTH cars are gone.
If they simply would have STAYED TOGETHER they both would be alive and possibly keep one car.
Never Separate. There is no greater fear than wondering if your loved one is still alive.
