'Holidaymakers have been warned to watch their words after two friends were refused entry to the US on security grounds after a tweet.

He insisted he was referring to simply having a good time - but was sent home.' -- Your name's not Dan: http://youtu.be/tguP14GMrCA

YouTube -- DrinkingWithBob: Obama Signs NDAA Martial Law Bill...
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself — anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called. -- George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

The Daily Bell -- Directed History Sets War Between Syria and Turkey
'History will record that an Arab Spring swept across the Middle East and Northern Africa and turned dictatorships into Islamic democratic republics. History will also show, we tend to believe, that the West has been challenged to reshape this radical Islamic surge along more "democratic" lines. It's all a lie, of course. It's all "directed." The 20th century appears to us to be "full on" directed history and right now the same appears for the 21st. There's plenty of evidence these modern "revolutions" were spawned by the Anglo-American elites, determined to continue their advance toward one-world government. Various groups, affiliated perhaps with the CIA, were set up to promulgate "revolution." AYM is one such American/globalist movement and obviously has ties to the US state department and large US corporations. Now the "revolution" has come to America and is masquerading as Occupy Wall Street. -- In the 20th century one could foment world war. In the 21st that's a lot harder because of nuclear weapons. It's one reason the elites have turned to the amorphous, phony war on terror. But it's not enough, not at all. They need something bigger. That's what's going on in our estimation now. They're building something bigger.'

Global Guerrillas -- DRONES and US Internal Security
'...the more interesting answer is how it gets applied to US internal security when the US/global economy crumps into depression, the US government goes bankrupt, and the current system loses much of its remaining legitimacy. In that scenario: #any armed group would instantly fit the signature of terrorists/guerrillas (the further you are away from an urban zone, the easier a target you will be), #even a mildly radical post to a blog, Facebook or Twitter (particularly if it could lead to a flashmob or an occupy style protest) would invite inclusion on the drone assassination list (in that case, the occasional flash of a car being blown up by a drone patrolling a highway and IDing a listed driver, will become common), #drone to citizen ratios will rise to 100:1 as new micro-drones cut cost and new software allows DHS control centers to manage large region wide "drone clouds."'

'Recently deployed to participate in counterinsurgency operations outside of Kabul, 19-year-old Pvt. Robert Welsh told reporters Monday that for as long as he can remember, he has wanted to serve his country by fighting in Afghanistan. "My most vivid childhood memories are of seeing the war on TV and imagining one day I'd be able to grow up and come over here to fight for my country," said Welsh, who has followed the U.S. struggle against the Taliban for more than half his life and once spent recesses at school make-believing he and his fellow third-graders were fighting the war on terror.'

The Daily Bell -- DB Briefs: Big Prison for Afghanistan
'Dominant Social Theme: The Afghan war is under control and the perpetrators will be punished. -- Having helped create the "Arab Spring," NATO and the US now face the hard work of keeping it under control. The idea apparently has been to create a large, low-impact war between a resurgent Islam and the West. To this end, a number of secular regimes have been removed in the Middle East and Africa and if we are correct in our perspective, these regimes will be replaced by Islamic Republics. Most of these republics may be influenced by Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which is penetrated by the CIA at the top. This is how controlled wars are waged. A war is a war. And wars spin out of control or, as in the case of Afghanistan, don't work out so well. The Anglosphere is doing what it can to maintain control. It already has in place a kind of gulag for the Middle East's population of religious young men, many of whom are radicalized by their involuntary incarcerations.'

Partial Objects -- Ron Paul Forgot that America is a Blue Pill Nation
'Paul’s strategy failed because he failed to recognize that Santorum just gave the audience a blue pill: a narcissistic narrative scaled up for a whole nation. They were just reassured that the entire issue was really about who they were and how they stand for American Exceptionalism (wait, does that contradict the other thing “we” stand for?), and not about any sort of vulgar details like foreign policy decisions or what the military did when. The natural antidote would be a red pill, but Dr. Paul can’t write that prescription because he’s a still a politician. Even though the odds of him becoming President are slim, he still has play by the rules of the game he’s playing, just like everyone else on stage. Here is what Ron Paul could have said that could have dispelled the effects of the blue pill: ***Do you really believe that you are important enough for people you’ve never met from a far away land to end their own lives in an attempt to kill you?***'

'The great banking families want radical Islam. They want a war between East and West. At least a cold war if not a hot one. Again, it's part of building world government. The more chaos and hate that's being spread, the more you need the trans-national organizations such as the IMF, World Court and UN. The globalists solutions have all been constructed. Now you just need enough problems to activate them. The dictators being deposed in the Middle East are all secular. Hosni Mubarak of Egypt; Ben Ali of Tunisia; Muammar Gaddafi of Libya – all of them are non-Islamic types. And what will come about now? Probably the Muslim Brotherhood one way or another. The Brotherhood is apparently penetrated and to a degree controlled by the CIA. So you have the spectacle of the West actively deposing secularists in order to replace them with controllable Muslim entities. The Muslim Brotherhood will be painted as a radical sect that poses an immediate danger to the West.'

The Daily Bell -- How the Internet Makes False Flags More Difficult
'...the Anglosphere elite that surely wishes to undermine the Internet Reformation is going to run into considerable pushback... The elites of the day seemingly could not control the ramifications of the Gutenberg Press no matter what they tried to do, and they evidently tried everything from war, to licensing, to false flag events and social manipulation. It didn't matter; force never solves anything longer term. Indeed, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Now, nearly 600 years after Gutenberg's original invention of mass conversation, a "great shift" – Internet Reformation – has begun anew. ...the parallels are clear. The Internet Reformation itself may prove a great deal more resilient than some now believe. The human hive mind is busy buzzing. The spread of knowledge – real knowledge – continues. The Dark Ages of the 20th century begin to lift and Dreamtime subsides. Information about free-markets continues to spread. Are these trends reversible? Don't think so.'

The Daily Bell -- Next False Flag to Be Cyber?
'The serial ruin the BIS inflicts on the world is intended to increase the pressure for centralization – for true world government run by Western elites. This is not conjecture. It is not conspiracy theory. The UN exists; so do the BIS, the World Bank and the IMF. Also, now, the International Criminal Court. All are basically post-World War II Western inventions. Yet those who point that a world government is being erected bit by bit are labeled conspiracy theorists. The conspiracy lies with the power elite that is moving ahead with this unaccountable and dangerous program. The Western power elites have three main thrusts in our humble view to pursue. 1. They have an evident urgent need to continue their lunge toward world government. 2. They have to create war and chaos to do so. (Out of chaos, order.) 3. And finally, they have to ameliorate the damage that is being done to their plans by the Internet. An Internet false flag within this context would be a kind of masterstroke.'

The Daily Bell -- Does the Elite Need a False Flag?
'The Western mainstream media is filled with memes about civil society generally, and a major one of course is the relative superiority of the Western model of finance and literacy. But in Europe and America this can be seen nowadays as a questionable in our view, where up to 50 percent of certain portions of the population are out of work and dependent on shrinking government subsidies. The Western model is NOT in fact capitalist; it is statist – a statist model that is actually failing. The capitalist society is in fact something of a false front for the elite's accumulation of power. This is why we have called what the Anglo-American elite accomplished in the 20th century a Dreamtime. As Anglosphere elites see the credibility of their economic and cultural tools being questioned, they have returned, as before, to war. This is a repetitive phenomenon. Whenever the elites' program is challenged, the larger society suddenly begins to suffer from chaos and militarism.'

'The City of London has a big problem. Once you have fallen back on the immoveable rigor of brute force you have to make sure that people understand that you will not back down. Not now. Not ever. If people cannot be frightened into supporting one-world-government (the point of it all) by fear-based memes, then they must be panicked into supporting it via military power. They must be made to feel that they have no other choice. But what if the biggest war – the most important war of the past 100 years – is also the war that you are evidently and obviously LOSING? What then? Well, if you are the top honcho of the Pentagon or Hillary Clinton, you will do ANYTHING to make sure your pending defeat does not become common knowledge and tabloid fodder. No, you cannot admit it! No how, no way! It will lead to a chain reaction, or so you fear. If people begin to understand that the entire Western world HAS LOST ITS MOST IMPORTANT WAR TO A BUNCH OF GOAT-HERDERS AND POPPY GROWERS ... what then?'

The Daily Bell -- Turning Points of Empire's End? by Anthony Wile
'Bin Laden's supposed death is tied into the unfortunate reality that the US (and NATO) is losing the Afghan war. The Afghan war is a critical power elite meme. The US needs Pakistan to attack the Pashtun/Taliban. If they do not, the war is likely lost. Enter bin Laden and his "death." Whatever else it may be, it was likely supposed to shove Pakistan into an aggressive posture against the Pashtun/Taliban. With bin Laden's "death" there were few rhetorical alternatives. Either Pakistan's leaders had been terribly incompetent in letting the terror master live in Pakistan for years or the military had been horribly incompetent – or perhaps both. Either way, the Pakistanis had much to apologize for. And the biggest way for Pakistan to atone was to attack, the Taliban. For a while, it must have seemed like a stroke of genius. And yet ... something went horribly WRONG. The result in this increasingly bipolar world was only to push the Pakistanis into the waiting embrace of China.'

The Daily Bell -- G8 Clarifies Response to Phony Arab Spring
'Dominant Social Theme: Supporting the glorious Arab Spring is important. -- There are five countries that we count as successfully destabilized by the West (America in particular). They are Afghanistan, Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt and the Ivory Coast. The money shows where the West wants to go. ...there is a sudden scramble to bankroll efforts to steer these destabilized countries in the "right" direction. This is the stated goal then – regulatory democracies not Islamic republics. It is a predictable dominant social theme. Destabilizations have taken place and the citizenry has been freed! We do not put it past Western elites to be playing an even more subtle game. It is possible that Saudi Arabia is supposed to be destabilized to usher in a non-dollar, global currency. It is possible that the creation of a string of Islamic republics is still the ultimate goal (the better to support the "war on terror"). It is even possible that general chaos and regional war is the preferable outcome.'

The Onion -- UPDATE: Giant Bin Laden Destroys New York, Washington
'By the time the unscathed bin Laden entered New York Harbor and flung the Statue of Liberty into Lower Manhattan, some estimates put his height at 800 feet. "He seemed to feed off our weaponry," Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen said. "Everything we did to hurt him only seemed to nourish him. We pounded him with enough shells to destroy a small country, and it just made him stronger." "I don't know how we stop him," Mullen continued. "I just don't know." In a statement posted on a militant website, al-Qaeda celebrated the devastation and said the United States was paying the price for not heeding its warning. "We have said that Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him, would be far mightier dead than alive," the statement read. "Did you fools really think we were talking about martyrdom or something? Really, how could you not see this coming?"'

'The legal scholar [O'Brien] in his 2009 book [Revelation of the Method, Compendium XXXVI], coined the term "Goldstein Effect", described as "the ability to intensify public concern by giving a definite face to the adversary, specifying a human source of the underlying threat." According to [O'Brien], since the U.S.-led War on Terror so heavily associated terrorism with bin Laden, the outrage intensified in similar ways as displayed in 1984. In contrast with the elusive Goldstein (whose very existence in the novel is disputed), however, bin Laden was ****claimed**** by the United States military to have been killed and disposed of in May 2011.' -- Great work, brother!

The Daily Bell -- French Neo-Colonialism Now Destabilizing Western Africa
''French actions regarding the Ivory Coast, when combined with the current aggressiveness that the International Criminal Court is showing in Africa, are preparing a considerable backlash against Western domination and Western institutions. The issue is further complicated by Western-backed youth rebellions in the North of Africa – in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia. Ultimately, all these interferences are linked together. The Anglosphere elites accompanied by the Anglophile Sarkozy have launched a determined attack on African interests. It may end up in a war against Iran and is in any case increasingly looking like a subdued version of World War III, without the nuclear aspects. ...the Anglosphere elites have begun destabilizing a swath of African and Middle Eastern countries. The idea apparently is either to create regulatory democracies or controllable (at the top) Islamic republics that can be used to widen the apparently phony war on terror.'

The West's great middle classes will pay for the apparent Afghan defeat a thousand times over through every conceivable kind of security measure. The police state that the elites now plan for the West as a result of bin Laden's death (and the potential for radical Islamic revenge) will make what has come before look positively amateurish. It all has to do with Afghanistan in our view. The elites, having pursued this nonsensical war to the bitter end, are now lashing out in rage. Having failed yet again, one hundred years on, to conquer the "stans" (if this is the case, and increasingly it seems so) the power elite is left standing, metaphorically speaking, amidst the wreckage of its ambitions. It is impossible to rule the world when ten percent of it remains beyond your grasp. The plan was to civilize the Pashtuns and be done with it.' -- http://youtu.be/SKm5xQyD2vE

Prison Planet -- What Else Will The Government’s “Special Chip” In Your Cellphone Do?
'The announcement that Americans are set to be bombarded with mandatory government propaganda via their cellphones represents a shocking lurch forward in the Obama administration’s bid to launch a total takeover of all communications as part of a wider move towards controlling the Internet, developing an omnipresent wiretap system, and creating a constant environment of suspicion and distrust by enlisting citizens to spy on each other. Short of implanting a microchip in people’s heads, the US government has opted for the next best thing, a chip in your cellphone. But what else will these “special chips” be used for?

The Daily Bell -- Cost of Bin Laden Deception: US$3 Trillion
'Al Qaeda was at least in its initial terrorist stages partially a promotion of Western intelligence; bin Laden was the scion of a family with close business ties to the Bush family and apparently a CIA asset to boot; he was a very sick man a decade ago (at least) and the idea that he survived to 2011 is doubtful in the extreme. There is no doubt the war on terror is a manipulated war. For the elites, money does not matter. They control central banks around the world and can print as much money as they wish and fund whatever programs they wish... The US$3 trillion drained from Western coffers to pursue illusory wars and phantom enemies is in fact a net-positive from the point of view of Western elites. With their fear-based promotions foundering, Money Power has increasingly fallen back on ... authoritarianism. And this means that the world itself must be thrown into chaos and poverty lest the middle classes look too closely at the false narrative being constructed around them.'

The Daily Bell -- Will Bin Laden's Death Justify More War?
'The Anglo-American elite uses war as a main tool of control. But sometimes it is more effective than at other times. We believe that the Western elites may have miscalculated as regards their world-spanning ambitions in large part due to the Internet that is destroying their fear-based schemes as fast as they can be applied. If so, war (society-reshaping war) may not be an option at the moment. A "long war" may be all they can manage (one which involves various societies in low-intensity conflicts over a long period of time), and long wars (as opposed to a 20th century world war) are merely a way of controlling social change, not radically reconfiguring global society. Why settle for a long war? Because the West is topping into the abyss financially and the elite lacks the tools to radically reshape perceptions thanks to the new communications technology. ...the elites are having a good deal of trouble controlling the message these days.'

Osama bin Laden’s Useful Death by Paul Craig Roberts
'How many Americans will have the wits to wonder why the "terror mastermind"—who defeated not merely the CIA and the FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with Israel’s Mossad and the intelligence services of NATO, who defeated NORAD, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff, the US Air Force, and Air Traffic Control, who caused security procedures to fail four times in US airports in one hour on the same day, who caused the state-of-the-art Pentagon air defenses to fail, and who managed to fly three airliners into three buildings with pilots who did not know how to fly—has not pulled off any other attack in almost ten years? Do Americans really believe that a government’s security system that can so totally fail when confronted with a few Saudi Arabians with box cutters can renew itself to perfection overnight? Americans are too busy celebrating to think, a capability that seems to have been taken out of their education.' -- Riveting tale, chap!

'One of the main functions of politicians – and journalists – is to simplify the world for us. But there comes a point when – however much they try – the bits of reality, the fragments of events, won't fit into the old frame. ...the fundamental problem with this simple story of good versus evil is that it does not permit a proper critical framework that allows you to properly judge not only those you are fighting, but also your allies. -- America and the coalition invaded Afghanistan with the simple aim of destroying the terror camps and setting up a democracy that would allow the country to be ruled by good people. But in the ensuing decade they have been tricked, spun round and deceived by the complex web of vested interests there. And their inability to understand and deal with this has led to the rise of a state crippled by corruption in which it is impossible to know who the "good" people might be any longer.' -- YOU

“We have the fundamentalist-driven type of philosophy that is being implemented from within the chambers of the city of London and anchored under the cloak of the Western style of democracy. -- The forces that are on the ground, these globalist forces that have the intent of bringing in line the various nations and states that need to be molded together in order to create a globalist government, they will continue their efforts, whatever it takes – force or propaganda through the mainstream western media sources or the subversive movements of the CIA... -- Americans should be more concerned with their own government and growing authoritarianism which is mounting within the US and the soft police state that is being imposed."

The Daily Bell -- WikiLeaks Nuclear Bomb Story Preceded Osama Death
'What are the odds that WikiLeaks would release an Osama bin Laden nuclear bomb story only a week before his putative death at the hands of American Navy Seals? -- So let us summarize once more. Bin Laden and al-Qaeda both seem supported, at least in their initial incarnations, by the CIA and other Western intel involvement. Meanwhile, the current narrative regarding these two entities is at the very least questionable. The idea is that bin Laden's death will cause al-Qaeda to try to strike at the West with nuclear weapons. Yet the holes in this narrative are many. ... -- We are watching history being written and it is phony history being repeated millions of times by frightened naked apes populating the mainstream media. Money Power, which seeks to use such incidents to further global domination, demands it; but repetition doesn't make it so. You, dear reader, may believe anything you wish. But as for us, we know the truth. We can see it, hear it and smell it. And it stinks.'

HIPSTER RUNOFF -- I am Proud to Be An American. We Got Him. We Killed Osama Bin Laden.
"I'm feeling pretty inspired. I'm feeling pretty rejuvenated. I feel like maybe Osama Bin Laden had a deeper psychological impact on me over the past ten years than I'd like to admit. I know I usually try to run from my problems and hide behind things. I'm just a bro in suburbia making consumer decisions. You see, Osama Bin Laden, you want the same things I want. I want to be famous. I want to be rich. I want to be controversial. I want to live in some sort of multimillion dollar compound. I want to be so buzzworthy that I have to go underground to preserve my authenticity and to preserve my life. I want to be remembered forever. I want people to remember that I believed in something even if what I believed in was totally wrong and I totally messed up. I just wanted people to know that there was a moment in time that I believed that I can make the world a better place, that my vision of the world was worth imposing on everyone else. I'm just trying to be an all-American Chill Bro."

The Onion -- Osama Bin Laden Found Inside Each Of Us
'"For more than two years, we combed the Middle East looking for bin Laden," Rumsfeld said. "Frankly, it was starting to be an embarrassment. You can imagine our surprise when we finally found him hiding deep inside the darkest recesses of each and every one of our souls." "It just goes to show that sometimes it's easier to look for the man in the FBI dossier than it is to look at the man in the mirror," Rumsfeld added. "He evaded us for so long because he had such an ingenious hideout," Rumsfeld said. "Only someone as evil as bin Laden would think to crawl down into that hole inside every one of us, the one that makes us hate instead of love, forget birthdays, and ignore alternate-side parking rules." "There is only one way to defeat Osama bin Laden," Bush said. "The way to eliminate this evil man is for each American to love just a little bit more, see your brother's problems as your own, always look on the bright side, and leave every place a little better than you found it."'

The Onion -- Al-Qaeda: Latest Missile Attack Bears Hallmarks Of U.S. Military
'At a press conference Monday, al-Qaeda spokesman Abu Musab al-Madani stated that last week’s missile attack on a terrorist hideout in Pakistan’s North Waziristan region bore all the hallmarks of the United States military. “While the investigation is still ongoing, we can say that the timing of the strike, the sophistication of the explosive device, and the fact that it came from a predator drone are all consistent with previous confirmed attacks by American forces,” said al-Madani, who noted that the terrorist organization had also received an anonymous tip alleging that the U.S. military was in the advanced stages of plotting one of its regular weekly attacks on al-Qaeda soil.'

Infowars.com -- U.S. Government Backs Libyan Al-Qaeda While Hyping Terror Attacks Inside U.S. by Paul Joseph Watson
'Achieving new heights of hypocrisy, the U.S government is hyping the threat of Libyan-backed reprisal terror attacks inside the United States, while launching air strikes in support of so-called “protesters” who ... are in fact Islamic fundamentalist Al-Qaeda cells who want to impose sharia law in Libya. -- The fact that the establishment media, particularly the BBC, which has aggressively pushed this “humanitarian” hoax in its rapacious cheerleading effort for the conquest, is parroting the narrative that this is a just war, when in reality it is about helping Al-Qaeda terrorists to carry through a coup d’état, is the ultimate hypocrisy. It’s a hypocrisy made more revolting by the fact that [2+2=5] who so vehemently opposed the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are now willing to offer their enthusiastic backing for military attacks having bought the sickening lie that the likes of the United States ... has now suddenly developed a conscience for human suffering.'

The Daily Bell -- Libya, The Good War? by Anthony Wile
'The globalists have used the Libyan uprising to considerable advantage. The US has made a pretense of reluctance to get involved with the fighting and thus reinforced the idea that the UN itself is in charge of Western warfare. The power elite, wants to preserve the dollar/oil reserve conversion but at the same time it seems intent on general global destabilization. The "war on terror" becomes infinitely more feasible when there are actual Islamic states to focus on beyond Iran or the ephemeral al-Qaeda. Domestic authoritarianism is driven by perceived "enemies," and there is no doubt that Western powers are pursuing domestic civil rights crackdowns with a vengeance. These Western-inspired color revolutions are evolving in ways that are both predictable and unpredictable. But one thing is for certain; they are not what they seem. Where they are headed, and how they will ultimately change the geopolitical context remains uncertain. (Though increased chaos seems a given.)'

Political Fail Blog -- Meet a hacktivist who tried to take down the government
'It was the first and the last time George would be involved in hacktivism, he says. In June, he was charged with inciting others to attack government websites. The magistrate equated his actions to cyber-terrorism. The word "hacktivism" was added to dictionaries across the world last year. The term has been used for several years by cyber-theorists and media commentators to describe the act of hacking with a political purpose. "I didn't think that I would ever get caught. I was actually downloading connections from other computers in America, so I didn't think the Australian government would be able to track me down." George was also under the impression that his one-off involvement in "Titstorm" was a legal form of political protest. "I had no idea that what I was doing was illegal. I had no idea that there was incitement and it was illegal to instruct others to commit a legal [sic] act." Eight months later George was in Newcastle Local Court and fined $550.'

The Daily Bell -- 2008 Crash Caused by Financial Terrorism?
'By treating the current, fallacious system as a kind of "gold standard" that cannot be taken down without an attack, one enshrines what is injurious. The conversation moves beyond remedies from reconfiguration to strategic necessities intended to defend what is evidently and obviously the Western economic system. Only it is not. The central bank economic system that has been put in place by the Anglo-American elite is far from a free-market system. It begins by printing money-from-nothing and as this fiat-currency circulates, it begins to inflate various markets, certainly the stock market. It also fools entrepreneurs into thinking times are better than they really are – and thus firms begin to over expand while other companies create trivial or non-essential products that would not have been successful in a less simulative environment. Eventually, the economy, stuffed with paper money, reaches a breaking point... People begin to wake from their Dreamtime at this point...'

The Daily Bell -- Color Revolutions: The Fourth Way by Anthony Wile
'The result of these "revolutions" will be inevitably some other governmental organization. The choices are said to be: democracy, authoritarian (military) rule or some sort of Islamic republic. The last option has to do with the evolution of Islamic republics within the Middle East. This ... I believe will eventually become a reality. It will happen because this is the outcome that Western money power actually seeks. The Anglo-American power elite needs an enemy if it is to continue its "war on terror." Just as it did during the Great Depression, Western money power badly needs a war. The central banking economy, having ruined the wealth of the West, is not going to recover any time soon and is, in fact, unraveling faster than ever. The hope of the elite is that confrontation with the Middle East and parts of Africa will refocus the Western citizens' attention on an outside threat and paint the inevitable collapse of Western monetary systems in a different historical light.'

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday. "These were the thoughtless men and women who selfishly showed us that in desperate times, the most callous among us will always be there to step forward and do whatever it takes to get a piece of the action." "They sacrificed their dignity and sense of basic morality so that others might one day give to them," Graham continued. When reached for comment, a number of First Capitalizers were more than willing to step forward and share their heart-numbing tales of exploitation and greed.'

'New York Republican Peter King has introduced a bill that would protect the army of citizen spies Homeland Security hopes to recruit under Janet Napolitano’s “See Something, Say Something” snoop campaign from lawsuits brought by innocent people wrongly accused of being terrorists or extremists. “A top US lawmaker unveiled legislation on Wednesday to protect individuals who tip off authorities to potential extremist threats from lawsuits, in the event that they turn out to finger innocents,” reports AFP. See Something, Say Something has little to do with combating terrorism, and everything to do with implanting the notion that Americans are constantly under surveillance from each other and may be reported to the authorities for any minor example of aberrant behavior no matter how benign.'

The Daily Bell -- Western Elites Secretly Still Building Islam?
'Is the war on terror a success? The Anglo-American elite needs an enemy if the authoritarianism that is rising in the West is to continue – because despotism (and globalism) is more easily created when there is an outside enemy. But fighting against 100 Al Qaeda soldiers in Afghanistan is not anybody's idea of a substantive threat. And the Taliban are evidently and obviously fighting an occupying force. What if the powers-that-be had decided to do what they could to expand the Muslim threat – and thus expand (in the Western mind anyway) the specter of resurgent, militant Islam? A cynical idea isn't it, dear reader. ...even close mainstream observers of the ongoing "war on terror," live with this cognitive dissonance without showing much consciousness of it – which is strange itself. ...the West is supporting the world's leading promoters of militant Islam all the while proclaiming undying resistance to "terrorists." The Western power elite always utilizes the Hegelian dialectic...'

Antiwar.com -- Citing Facebook Posts, Fox News Turns in Indiana Grandmother for ‘Terror Link’
'Fox Insists Woman Made 'Anti-American Comments' in Emails. ...the article delves into serious kookiness as the author complains that Mrs. Smith refused to “friend” her on Facebook and was discovered to have clicked “Like” on a profile for Anwar al-Awlaki, a US born cleric tapped for assassination by President Obama. The “case” against Mrs. Smith however is not really the relevant factor here, so much as the fact that Fox News took it upon themselves to build a case against some random convert in Indianapolis and then “turned her in” to the feds. The effort against Smith closes with a chilling comment from the grandmother, who notes “I am exercising my right, as an American citizen to freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bare arms. I have the right in America to say what ever I want. That is what makes America so great, right?” The report then immediately segues into a comment from an unnamed “consultant” claiming that Smith’s comments are “classic signs of extremism.”'

Sott.net -- WikiLeaks Sets the Stage for the 'No Send List'
'...from what might be called the Communications Security Administration (CSA), we can expect a 'no send' list. If you're on the list, you can't send or post messages, and no reasons will be given. They will be arbitrarily restricting your ability to connect with people remotely. Consider also the invasive screening process at airports. Everyone is treated as a potential terrorist, until they pass the invasive screening process. Similarly, every message anyone tries to send will be treated as a 'potential cyber threat', until it passes an invasive 'threat filter'. Google is already deploying such a filter, and calling it a spam filter. Air travel and the Internet have been the 'great global connectors', of people and of ideas. The thrust of 'security' measures has had little to do with terrorism, and everything to do with making 'connection' more and more difficult. WikiLeaks is indeed the 9/11 of the Internet.'

Notorious Nicky was pulled from his class by police and warned that he was under investigation by the Anti-terrorist squad. He was repeatedly warned by the police that he ought not attend the protest and that police intended to hold him personally responsible for anything that happened at the protest. They also warned him that armed police would be on hand in case the protesters got out of hand. They also warned him that they would be monitoring his future Facebook postings.' -- And what is this?

'NEW YORK—Following an audition that "knocked [their] socks off," organizers of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade announced today they would allow the al-Qaeda Marching Band, the musical performance division of the international terrorist organization, to participate in the 84th-annual holiday event. "Macy's has no affiliation with the political agenda of al-Qaeda and in no way endorses its stated goal of destroying the imperialist secular West," said Bob Carlson, a spokesperson for the department store. "But their choreography is just—wow. The costumes, the sass, the showmanship. These guys brought their A-game, and the drum line is just sensational." Al-Qaeda Marching Band director Ibrahim al-Faisal told reporters being selected to perform in the parade was "a great honor," adding that his group looked forward to wowing the crowd and setting off a dirty bomb in the heart of Manhattan.'

LewRockwell -- It Is Official: The US Is a Police State by Paul Craig Roberts
'“Violent extremism” is one of those undefined police state terms that will mean whatever the government wants it to mean. In this morning’s FBI’s foray into the homes of American citizens of conscience, it means antiwar activists, whose activities are equated with “the material support of terrorism,” just as conservatives equated Vietnam era anti-war protesters with giving material support to communism. Americans are the most gullible people who ever existed. They tend to support the government instead of the Constitution, and almost every Republican and conservative regards civil liberty as a coddling device that encourages criminals and terrorists. Americans are too gullible, too uneducated, and too jingoistic to remain a free people. As another Nazi leader Herman Goering said, “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace-makers for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger."'

'The American military was convinced there was a giant secret bunker hidden in Cambodia from which the North Vietnamese were directing their attacks. The bombing, followed by an invasion, was going to destroy it. But the bunker was never found. It seems never to have existed. But it became a vision that was going to possess Haig, and others, in the years to come. That somewhere there is a hidden central control where the enemies of America are co-ordinating their attacks. They know this secret place exists. Even if there is no real evidence. And you can do bad things and cut corners in order to prove it exists.'

'The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future. The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.” The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online “momentum” for any given event.' -- TOMORROW. TERRORIST. WE KNOW. MAKE REPORT. THIS WARN YOU.

In 1965 the white minority Rhodesian government declared Independence from Britain... A number of countries broke the sanctions – including Iran. But so did some British companies – notably two of the big oil companies – Shell and BP. ...the BBC had decided to make an epic 9-part documentary series about British Petroleum. The films were pretty sycophantic. At that time BP was still owned by the British government – and what you see is one large state-run organisation paying its respects to another.'

The Daily Bell -- Germany & US Integrate Air Travel Surveillance Programs
'Taken altogether, the idea of Western nations linking disparate security databases to create both an over-class of "trusted" individuals and an underclass of people who are (by definition) untrustworthy, provides a further polarization of civil society. Inevitably, those who work for large corporations will be increasingly advantaged within this security ambit, as large corporations will have the clout to make sure their employees are insulated from increasingly invasive travel restrictions. The West generally is in the grip of two trends. There is the liberating and truth-telling trend of the Internet. Then there is the increasingly authoritarian trend of Western democracies putting into place the most invasive spying technologies to regiment and harry their own citizens. We think the latter trend is partially aimed at controlling citizens in case economic times get even tougher and there is significant unrest.'

Respondents said they disagreed with President Barack Obama's plan to try suspected terrorists in civilian courts, expressing a preference for military tribunals by 59% to 34%. But 48% to 44%, Americans polled said they support Obama's overall handling of terror. The American public struck a decidedly more hawkish tone in the weeks since the failed Christmas Day bombing plot against a US aircraft, saying by 52% to 44% that law enforcement should be able to single out people who look Middle-Eastern for screening and questions.'

TARPLEY -- US Readies Cyberwar, Virtual Flag Terrorism
'The world of cyber warfare is so opaque for the average person and solid confirmation of claims so hard to come by, that rogue bureaucrats in the US and British governments will be able to a surge virtually anything with little fear of being refuted. Google accuses China of hacking without offering any convincing proof, and China denies the charge. What is the average person to believe? What prevents hackers in league with invisible government rogue moles at the NSA from deliberately attacking US facilities, and then blaming it on China, thus ginning up a major international provocation with little risk of being caught? If millions of people are plunged into the dark, if trains and airliners crash, if other disasters occur, it is child’s play to issue a communiqué blaming hackers in the service of the Russian, Chinese, Sudanese, the Iranians, or other governments. The governments accused can certainly issue denials, but it is not clear how such a charge could be convincingly refuted.'
