David Swanson ~ Shadow Facts About Shadow Government

“Engelhardt writes that with the NSA and gang having eliminated our privacy, we can now eliminate theirs by publicizing leaked information. At the same time, Engelhardt writes that dozens of Snowdens would be needed for us to begin to find out what the U.S. war machine is doing.” – D Swanson

ShadowGovtTom Engelhardt keeps churning out great books by collecting his posts from TomDispatch.com. His latest book, Shadow Government, is essential reading. Of the ten essays included, eight are on basically the same topic, resulting in some repetition and even some contradiction. But when things that need repeating are repeated this well, one mostly wants other people to read them — or perhaps to have them involuntarily spoken aloud by everybody’s iPhones.

We live in an age in which the most important facts are not seriously disputed and also not seriously known or responded to.

The United States’ biggest public program of the past 75 years, now outstripping the rest of the world combined, is war preparations. The routine “base” military spending, not counting spending on particular wars, is at least 10 times the war spending, or enough to totally transform the world for the better. Instead it’s used to kill huge numbers of people, to make the United States less safe, and to prepare for wars that are — without exception — lost disastrously. Since the justification of the Soviet Union vanished, U.S. militarism has only increased. Its enemies are small, yet it does its best to enlarge them. U.S. Special Operations forces are actively, if “secretly,” engaged in war or war preparations in over two-thirds of the nations on earth. U.S. troops are openly stationed in 90 percent of the nations on earth, and 100 percent of the oceans. A majority of the people in most nations on earth consider the United States the greatest threat to world peace. Continue reading

Fireflies And Misty Autumn

“. . . the spirit that Hitler once upheld lives strong in the Promethean flame of the shadow government today, and their soul-controlled puppets that we see in the every-day media, with their artificial smiles plastered upon the screens, their words all meaningless, as they regurgitate well-prepared and carefully calculated low dosages of psychic opiate . . .” – Naropa

We are at the crux of a generation, at the middle point between mass extinction and a new breed of man. The renaissance of the scholar-warriors. The relentless war and violence that has plagued the last several millennia has reached a culminating point of intelligence and intensity. It’s obvious. We are on high alert. A sense of danger and a pervasive feeling of an unknown hostility lurking amongst the fabric of our visible existence has reached the forefront of our attention. Our third eyes, craving the ethereal nectar of truth for so long, have been at work, out of hibernation, finally- sorting out the common lies of the masses from the essence of what is truly real. We’ve got the upper-hand on the machines on that one. We’re getting tired of it and we want our food. It’s getting easier, quicker, faster to see what’s going on.

We saw the bullshit, the layers, the timelines, the effects. Like an acquired skill, we quickly became aware that we were living in the Matrix, and it’s entanglements were wide and far-reaching. We felt that familiar tightening in our stomachs, our chests pressing down on us. The clunking of shackles in our shadows when we walked to work. It was in-between time. We knew, deep down, that we had been lied to.

Escaping one of it’s many tentacles just seemed to give open space for another prey to come rushing in, subduing us and seducing us into giving up that open slot of submission, so that it could feed on it for all it’s worth and then tax us for the public service it provided. So clean, calculated and sterile. Such a slow murder. If you complained or said anything about this parasitic process, there was a whole other department in the Matrix set in place to either silence you, or make you feel so weak and useless that you wouldn’t have the heart to say anything ever again.

Sartre ~ Totalitarian Collectivism

“The great strength or our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always concealed by another name, and another occupations.” ~Adam weishaupt/Founder of the Illuminati

Shadow Forces Behind Government

Let no man or woman dare speak of a shadow government. The crony corruptocrats that make up the ruling elites of the world must maintain the illusion, that elected governments are based upon willful consent and have the legitimate authority to establish rules of conduct that their citizen are obligated to obey. For those regimes that maintain their grip of power by undemocratic means, the apologists for the international community give a wide berth of acceptance in order to maintain the appearance of individual national sovereignty.

In the essay, There Is No Conspiracy – Only Official Policy provides a study in power politics when a banana republic dares defy the moneychangers.

“The lesson for world leaders is you don’t cross the masters of power. But for Americans it is that a world run by the IMF never benefits us, the people. The enactment of the FTAA is just one more element in the grand scheme of global rule. There is no need to dapple in extraordinary theories; it is all in the open for everyone to see. The policy is clear – the nations of the world are mere colonies to the interests of the ruling elites. Citizens of countries and their elected leaders are mere subjects of the international community. Not exactly the revered Republic that we all owe allegiance, is it?”
