Where Will FEMA Take Your Children?
Where Will FEMA Take Your Children?
The Department of Homeland Security and FEMA had interjected themselves, and appropriately so, into the area of school safety. This article explores the premise behind the cooperation between DHS, FEMA and your child’s public school. Most of the policies and procedures make a great deal of sense and should be followed as a matter of course. However there are some very concerning elements which have surfaced with regard to school safety procedures, your rights as a parent and the safety of your child.
The Prime Directive of School Safety
The first mandate for teachers and administrators in the public school setting is to keep students safe. This prime directive supersedes any other mission requirements related to the functioning of a public school. Teachers and administrators as well as support personnel have a moral, professional and legal obligation to tend to children who are in physical and/or emotional distress. The Department of Homeland Security and FEMA have prepared disaster related documents detailing the professional responsibilities for school personnel in disaster related scenarios.
In the furtherance of this mission, public schools are required to participate in various safety exercise drills such as lockdowns and bus evacuation drills. Both functions serve a legitimate purpose and parents should feel a measure of comfort that schools have taken steps under the direction of the government in order to help keep our children safe. However, some plans no matter how well-intentioned have pitfalls and some of the details of these plans should be concerning to parents of school-aged children.
The following paragraphs detail a previous disaster drill, held in Denver, in which the procedures should raise the hair on the back of the neck of all parents
Operation Mountain Guardian
Nearly two years ago, on September 23, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA conducted a disaster drill in Denver, Colorado that they called Operation Mountain Guardian. The plan was all-inclusive and basically shut down the Denver metropolitan area including Denver international Airport, many malls, many schools and several other public venues including Sports Authority Field where the Denver Broncos play professional football.
Where will they take the children? Will you get them back and when?
As a part of the drill, several busloads of school children were taken to Sports Authority Field along with their teachers. Surrogate parents were hired by FEMA to attempt to pick up their children at the stadium. The training was apparently a desensitization exercise for security personnel designed to refuse demands to pick up their children from these “pretend” parents. The real parents of these children were not properly notified that their children would be transported to the stadium and would be a part of this disaster drill. As a parent, I would have a major problem with the non-notification of the relocation of children.I find this ironic, because before a school child is allowed to go on a field trip, their parents and teachers are required to fill out a multiple list of permission forms that must be signed by parent or guardian of the child.
I have no quarrel with moving children in an emergency situation to a location of safety. However, I have a major issue when government officials refused to release children to their parents because the authority over a child belongs to the parent, not to a government agency.
In the latter part of the event, as parents discovered that some of their children were likely transported to the stadium, some parents attempted to go to the venue and secure their children. When they did so, at least initially, the children were not released to the parents. Again, who is the sovereign, the government or the people?
And speaking of Denver International Airport, explain the meaning of this dia mural 1depiction which was displayed for years near airport baggage. Where are the children being led by this apparent Russian soldier carrying an AK-47 and wearing a gas mask?
It goes without saying that most major terror attacks have coincided with “drills” used to confuse and distract first responders not privy to the inside plan has been heavily documented, with the 7/7 attacks in London and 9/11 attacks in New York City being prime examples. The aforementioned statement is not conspiratorial, these are the facts surrounding these previous terrorist attacks and every parent, teacher, administrator, police officer, firefighter, EMT and the federal government would be wise to be cognizant of this fact.
DHS, FEMA and the Safety of Students
FEMA has published a training manual which serves as the rough draft model for school safety to be enacted by all 50 versions of the State Department of Education, in times of an emergency. Of particular importance and relevance is a document from the Arizona Department of Education entitled “Staff Skills Survey and Inventory“, which is located on page 76 of their school safety manual.
In the aftermath of the disaster scenario, it would be prudent for school officials and assisting public officials to know which of the school staff members are first aid certified, have experience in EMT operations, can perform CPR, can assist in triage functions and can help with food preparation. Certainly, acquiring a database of people who possess these skills, would be extremely critical in meeting the potential needs of children in the context of a dangerous set of circumstances.
However, on the checklists and procedures form, there are other skills on this FEMA inspired document, which has filtered down from the Federal government to the State level. I have subsequently acquired a document from the Arizona Department of Education which attempts to assess staff skills in times of emergency. The document is listed at the bottom of this article.
In the document, it asks teachers, administrators and other support personnel within a school setting if they possess skills which seem to be out of place for disaster scenario responding in a school setting. For example, the document asks school personnel if they have experience in construction, shelter management, emergency management, structural engineering, firefighting, electrical wiring, plumbing, carpentry, journalists, HAM radio operation and a recreational leader.
Why would schools have the need for people that can do construction as well as plumbing, electrical work, climbing and shelter management? What in the world are schools under stress going to be building? At this point, I would invite you to go to the bottom of the page and scan this FEMA inspired document to familiarize yourself with all of the skills that are being assessed by the various departments of education around the country.
I have asked a number of people to look at this document and explain to me their interpretation of the skill set solicitations. Descriptor terms such as conscription, commandeering and drafting have come out of the mouths of people that I know. People that know nothing of the New World Order and know nothing of Operation Mountain Guardian were concerned when I showed them the document. If one considers this questionnaire within the context of Obama’s Executive Order 13603 in which the President can seize control over all resources including people; I would like to think that these two variables are not connected. However, in these perilous times, it is difficult to not be suspicious.
Conclusion
These events beg the question, are we to understand that school children and school personnel are going to be forced to construct their own residential facilities in some unknown and undisclosed location from which a bus will transport them to? I don’t have a definitive answer, but I know a number of you who are reading these words are thinking what I have thought. Am I going to be constructing our own detention facilities? Will parents be separated from their children?
Is this why construction, electric and plumbing skills are being inventoried in our nation’s schools?
Is this how Rex 84 and Presidential Directive 51 be implemented? At one time, making these connections might have been considered to be ridiculous. However, in the present context, these questions demand answers.

Amerikan Blueprint for Enslavement and Eventual Extermination
and Eventual Extermination
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin
Americans do not live in an emerging police state; all Americans now live in a fully developed police state. From a false flag event, 9/11, to the development of the most complete police state apparatus the world has ever seen, one has to wonder what’s the “endgame”? The following contains the scripture and verse of the globalist elite’s plan to enslave and depopulate humanity.
There can be little doubt that 9/11 was perpetrated, in part, to legitimize our imperialistic forays into the Middle East which also led to unparalleled oil company and numerous other private sector profits. However, corporate profits were merely a subplot to the real agenda to the 9/11 false flag operation which was the destruction of what was left of the freedom and civil liberties of the American people which would eventually lead to the enslavement of all which will ultimately result in the extermination of many.
All totalitarian governments begin their invasion into civil liberties with the promise of safety from whoever plays the convenient role of the “boogey man” of the day. In Nazi Germany, the original boogey man were the communists who allegedly burnt down the Reichstag and then the specter of boogey men kept expanding until anyone who was been considered an enemy of the German State needed to be controlled. Today, the totalitarian pleas of “Let us protect you from yourself” ring loudly and clearly through the halls of Congress and in the Oval Office. True to the Hegelian Dialectic, America’s present day “boogey men” are the terrorists of 9/11 and anyone who faces east when they pray. Today, that definition has been expanded to include Ron Paul supporters, Second Amendment advocates, Constitutionalists, Libertarian Party members, in other words, you and I are the new terrorists.
The world has been down this slippery slope in the past and the consequences were catastrophic. If Mark Twain were alive today he might be inclined to say that history may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.
Gun Control
Since 9/11, the government has stepped up its efforts to ban private ownership of guns.
Private ownership of guns is the necessary component needed to fulfill the Jeffersonian mandate for self-defense against one’s own country. Yet, increasingly and reminiscent of Nazi Germany, the United States government is incrementally chipping away at private citizens right to own a gun. Why? FBI statistics clearly show that 90% of the guns used in the commission of a crime are stolen! Does the government really believe that criminals, both American citizens and illegal aliens, as well as terrorists, are suddenly going to perform their civic duty and immediately register or turn in their guns? How is America better-served if the only ones who don’t have access to guns are the law-abiding citizens? So, one must ask who are the gun control laws designed to protect and why?
Gun control and gun confiscation has preceded every instance of genocide in the 20th century. How quickly we forget the lessons of history. If we ever allow government to subvert the second amendment, we very well could be witnessing a prelude to an American genocide. There is nothing as dangerous to a totalitarian regime as an educated and well-armed populace. Before we strip away our last line of defense from the planned actions of an already fully entrenched totalitarian government by acquiescing to the United Nations and American advocates for gun control, perhaps we should examine the end game resulting from past gun control efforts:
1. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves against their ethnic-cleansing government, were arrested and exterminated.
2. In 1929, the former Soviet Union established gun control as a means of controlling the “more difficult” of their citizens. From 1929 to the death of Stalin, 20 million Soviets met an untimely end at the hand of various governmental agencies as they were arrested and exterminated.
3. After the rise of the Nazi’s, Germany established their version of gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves against the “Brown shirts”, were arrested and exterminated.
4. After Communist China established gun control in 1935, 40 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves against their fascist leaders, were arrested and exterminated.
5. Closer to home, Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves against their ruthless dictatorship, were arrested and exterminated.
6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves from their dictatorial government, were arrested and exterminated.
7. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million of the “educated” people, unable to defend themselves against their fascist government, were arrested and exterminated.
The total numbers of victims who lost their lives because of gun control is approximately 80 million people in the 20th century. The historical voices from 80 million corpses speak loudly and clearly to those Americans who are advocating for tighter gun control legislation. Gun control works, just ask Hitler, Stalin or any other despot.
Frighteningly, American gun control legislation is imitating Hitler’s Nazi Germany gun control legislation.
Consider the key provisions of the Nazi Weapons Act of 1938 and compare it with the United States Gun Control Act of 1968. The parallels of both the provisions and the legal language are eerily similar.
After the 9/11 attacks that killed 3,000 people, America has been plunged into an ever-increasingly unsafe world, and our citizens are about relearn the lessons of history that they failed to grasp in their United States History classes.
The lesson of the 20th Century genocides can no longer be dismissed as something that could never happen in America. The logic of personal self-defense should be hitting home as our country plunges deeper into the depths of fascist totalitarian control (e.g., Patriot Acts 1&2, Detainee Bill, etc.).
America may be on the verge of committing “National Suicide by Gun Control”. The gun control advocates are positioning themselves and their gun-grabbing policies to be perfectly timed to influence people during this window of opportunity given the war on terror.
National Identification Cards
In Nazi Germany (July 1938), only a few months before Kristallnacht (i.e., the night of the broken glass) in which Jewish businesses were targeted by the infamous “Brown Shirts” for destruction, the notorious “J-stamp” was introduced on National ID cards and then later on passports.
The use of the “J-stamp” ID cards by Nazi Germany preceded the yellow Star of David badges which led to the subsequent deportation of Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and political dissidents to the infamous Nazi death camps. In Norway, where yellow cloth badges were not introduced, the J stamped ID card was used in the identification of more than 800 Jews deported to death camps in Eastern Europe.
Identification cards, in Rwanda, were a key factor in shaping, defining and perpetuating ethnic identity. Once the 1994genocide in Rwanda began, an ID card with the designation “Tutsi” constituted a death sentence at any checkpoint. No other factor was more significant in facilitating the speed and carnage of the 100 days of mass killing in Rwanda.
National ID cards of all kinds are controversial. In recent years in the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Australia proposals for introducing national ID cards have raised serious questions about governmental control, privacy issues and ultimately citizen safety concerns. Classification of ethnic, racial or religious groups on ID cards, however, is a distinctively different issue because of the past use of ID cars used to perpetrate the targeting of “undesirables” for possible detention or death. Of course, an American national ID card would not categorize any citizen for potential abuse, wouldn’t it? Before you answer consider that 1933 Germany was a modern, civilized nation with a constitution.The dangers of a National ID card are self-evident and are now being played out in a nation’s schools. In San Antonio, students are required to wear ID with RFID tracking chips in order that the all-powerful school administrators can track students both on and off campus in complete violation of their Fourth Amendment rights. In Anderson, SC., elementary school students are being required to provide their finger prints prior to receiving their lunches. The Anderson School District 5 officials are refusing comment and don’t even have this pilot program listed on their district website. Selected school districts in Pennsylvania are conducting a similar fingerprint program as well. Our children are being conditioned to accept an abject and absolute police state surveillance grid.
The First Patriot Act
Many legal scholars and average American citizens decried the passage of the Patriot Act as an affront to constitutionally protected civil liberties. When the Patriot Act was passed, many compared it to the Nazi policies of 1935.
In defense of the Nazi Enabling Act and the modern day American Patriot Act, consider the following two very similar arguments made in both of their behalves: “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” The second statement of justification argues that “To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve.” The first statement is a quote from Hitler’s main henchman, Hermann Goering, testifying at his war crimes trial how easily he and his fellow Nazis seized control of Germany’s democratic government. The second statement is a quote from Bush’s former henchman, John Ashcroft, who was fervently defending the Patriot Act and explaining that dissent will no longer be tolerated in the age of terrorism. If that doesn’t make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, nothing will.
Section 206 of the Patriot Act allows the government to obtain roving wiretaps without empowering the court to make sure that the government as certain that the conversations being intercepted actually involve a target of the investigation.
The Patriot Act’s “sneak and peek” provision is about lowering standards for sneak and peek warrant. Section 213 of the Patriot Act allows notice of search warrants to be delayed for an indefinite “reasonable time
Section 215 modifies the rules on records searches. Post-Patriot Act, third-party holders of your financial, library, travel, video rental, phone, medical, church, synagogue, and mosque records can be searched without your knowledge or consent, providing the government says it’s trying to protect against terrorism. The statute authorizing the use of “national security letters” (NSL’s) as amended by the Patriot Act 505(a) contains no judicial oversight. The statute allows the government to compel the production of financial records, credit reports, telephone, Internet, and other communications or transactional records. In a report published by the Bill of Rights Defense Committee an Inspector General Report delivered to Congress found that there were 143,074 NS Letters requested in two years, between 2003 and 2005. Another disturbing fact from the same report states that From the 143,074 NSLs requested, there was only 1 confirmed terrorism-related conviction. So, in actuality, who is the law really designed for?
Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act states that any violation of Federal or State law can result in the “enemy combatant” terrorist designation.
The Second Patriot Act
The Second Patriot Act has been called The First Patriot Act on steroids. Through the principle of totalitarian incrementalism, the Second Patriot Act greatly expands the over-reaching powers of the First Patriot Act and annihilates all of the firewalls (e.g., the Bill of Rights) between governmental tyranny and the United States Citizenry.
SECTION 103 allows the Federal government to use wartime martial law powers domestically and internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists.
SECTION 106 states that government agents must be given immunity for carrying out searches with no prior court approval. This section throws out the entire Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures.
SECTION 109 allows the newly created secret courts to issue contempt charges against any individual or corporation who refuses to incriminate self and/or others. This section obliterates the Fifth Amendment.
SECTION 123 restates that the government doesn’t required search warrants and that the investigations can be a giant dragnet-style sweep (e.g.,Total Information Awareness Network). One passage in this section reads, “Thus, the focus of domestic surveillance may be less precise than that directed against more conventional types of crime.”
SECTION 127 allows the government to takeover coroners’ and medical examiners’ investigative operations whenever they choose. This is reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s special medical examiner he had in Arkansas who ruled that people had committed suicide when their limbs had been severed.
SECTION 128 allows the Federal government to place gag orders on Federal and State Grand Juries and to take over the proceedings when things are not going the Feds way.
SECTION 129 destroys any remaining whistleblower protection for Federal agents which effectively eliminates any and all oversight from within the government.
SECTION 201 of the second Patriot Act makes it a criminal act for any member of the government or any citizen to release any information concerning the incarceration or whereabouts of detainees. Therefore, when you are detained for what were formerly legal protest activities, you and your family will be unaware of your whereabouts when you suddenly disappear.
SECTION 205 allows top Federal officials to keep all their financial dealings secret, and anyone investigating them can be considered a terrorist. Pelosi and Reid can engage in money laundering, similar to Bush 41 and his endless stream of money laundering companies (e.g., Zapata Oil) and nobody would be the wiser. This should be very useful for Dick Cheney to stop anyone investigating Halliburton and its subsidiary KBR. Also, Geitner’s (Turbo tax serial evasion schemes are not subject to legitimate review because he and all federal officials are now above the law.
SECTION 501 expands the Bush administration’s “enemy combatant” definition to all American citizens who “may” have violated any provision of Section 802 of the first Patriot Act. Section 501 of the second Patriot Act directly connects to Section 125 of the same act. The Justice Department boldly claims that the incredibly broad Section 802 of the First Patriot Act now permits a new, unlimited definition of terrorism in order that all dissidents can be imprisoned without due process. Therefore, under Section 501 an American citizen engaging in lawful activities can be grabbed off the street and thrown into a prison never to be seen again.
SECTION 311 federalizes your local police department in the area of information sharing. Sheriff Mack and a few “Oathkeepers” stand alone
SECTION 313 provides liability protection for businesses, especially big businesses that spy on their customers for Homeland Security and the FBI, violating their privacy agreements. It goes on to say that these are all preventative measures. Have you ever heard of Infraguard?
SECTION 321 authorizes foreign governments to spy on the American people and to share information with foreign governments. Big Brother is going to creep up on us one peep at a time. This reminds one of the fact that ministers, priests and rabbi’s are now spying on their flock through the Clergy Response Team.
SECTION 322 removes Congress from the extradition process and allows officers of the Homeland Security complex to extradite American citizens anywhere they wish.
SECTION 312 gives immunity to law enforcement engaging in spying operations against the American people and would place substantial restrictions on court injunctions against Federal violations of civil rights across the board.
SECTION 402 is titled “Providing Material Support to Terrorism.” The section states that there is no requirement to show that the individual even had the intent to aid terrorists.
SECTION 403 expands the definition of weapons of mass destruction to include any activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce.
SECTION 410 creates no statute of limitations for anyone that engages in terrorist actions or supports terrorists. Reminder: Any crime is now considered terrorism under the first Patriot Act.
SECTION 411 expands crimes that are punishable by death. Again, they point to Section 802 of the first Patriot Act and state that any terrorist act or support of terrorist act can result in the death penalty. Reminder: Any crime is now considered terrorism under the first Patriot Act.
SECTION 427 sets up an asset forfeiture provision for anyone engaged in alleged terrorist activities. In typical Mafia fashion, the Feds must get their cut.
Several times, in each subsection, the Second Patriot Act states that its new Nazi-type powers will be used to fight international and domestic terrorism (e.g., 911) and other types of crimes.
Again, the government has already announced in Section 802 of the First Patriot act that any crime is considered domestic terrorism. Political protests, being a Ron Paul supporter, being a veteran, an ardent supporter of the Constitution and many other patriotic behaviors have already been deemed to be the actions of a terrorist. Really, you say? Haven’t you heard of the MIAC Report? I voted for Ron Paul in 2008, have written editorials, I have done talk shows espousing the many virtues of the Bill of Rights and I am a registered Libertarian. In the eyes of the Feds, I am unquestionably a terrorist and am subject to any and all of the provisions of the Patriot Acts, One or Two. Where does this place you?
The Military Commissions Act
America is walking down this same slippery slope with the recent passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, also referred to as the “Detainee Bill”.
Most Americans may be unaware that Presidents Bush and Obama, like Hitler, came to power legally. Hitler and his Nazi Party were elected democratically in a time of great national turmoil and crisis. They themselves had done much to cause the turmoil, of course, but that’s what makes the Bush/Obama comparisons so compelling.
On its face, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 appears to protect Americans from the dangers associated with terrorists. However, many who have examined this law has grave concerns over what this law will mean to average American citizens. For example, Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, “(this legislation)….authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States.
And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights.” Along the same lines, legal scholar and professor, Professor Marty Lederman, explains: “this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you’re an unlawful enemy combatant, using whatever criteria they wish. Then, as far as Congress and U.S. law is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to ‘hostilities’ at all.”
Most Americans would not express sympathy for their fellow countrymen who would dare to betray our country and provide aid and comfort to the enemy, nor do I. But a present, President of the future is not just talking about enemy collaborators; he could be talking about you if you dare to criticize the government, its leaders and its policies. Subsection 4(b) (26) of section 950v.of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 discusses crimes prosecutable by the various military commissions. This includes the following definition: “Any person subject to this chapter, who, in breach of an allegiance or duty to the United States, knowingly and intentionally aids an enemy of the United States, or one of the co-belligerents of the enemy, shall be punished as a military commission under this chapter may direct.” Under this law, you have an implied duty to demonstrate allegiance and a sense of the duty to the United States and its government. This offense is punishable by death. If a journalist dares to challenge the official version of 911 are they, in effect, giving aid and comfort to the enemy? When journalists challenged the veracity of the claims for presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, as a questionable pretext for war, would these journalists now be considered to be in a material breach of their duty as a United States citizen? The current definition of “enemy combatant,” to whom the law would apply, broadens its reach from those who “engaged in hostilities against the United States” to those who “purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States.” Material support is a vague concept that can be, and has been, applied to lawyers and interpreters assisting clients. Should lawyers who are United States citizens, acting within the boundaries of the United States and plainly protected by the Constitution, be subjected to trials before a military tribunal rather than a criminal court? The vagueness of the law seems to say yes. Further, for an individual to hold an allegiance or duty to the United States they need to be a citizen of the United States. Why would a foreign terrorist have any allegiance to the United States to breach in the first place? Several constitutional scholars concur that this law clearly applies to United States citizens. This is indeed frightening!
Further actions that result in the classification of an individual as a terrorist include the following:
1. Destruction of any property, which is deemed punishable by any means of the military tribunal’s choosing.
2. Any violent activity whatsoever if it takes place near a designated protected building, such as a charity building.
3. A change of the definition of “pillaging” which turns all illegal occupation of property and all theft into terrorism. This makes squatters and petty thieves enemy combatants.
The new Detainee act does much more than broaden the definition of an enemy combatant and demand allegiance to the United States government and its officials. For example, Habeas Corpus is gone as the new law declares “No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by or on behalf of an alien detained by the United States who has been determined by the United States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination.”
With the passing of the German Enabling Act of 1933, Hitler removed the last vestiges of democratic pretense in pre-Nazi Germany. Article two of the Enabling Act stated that “Laws enacted by the government of the Reich may deviate from the constitution as long as they do not affect the institutions of the Reichstag. The rights of the President remain undisturbed.” Ultimately, what the Enabling Act meant was that the executive branch of the German government was empowered by the legislature to decide what the law was. Hitler was permitted to ignore the German constitution and neither the courts nor the legislature would have the means to check his new found executive power. Today, the United States government has the American version of the Enabling Act; Patriot Acts One and Two.
NSPD 51 and HSPD 20
The combined directives of NSPD 51 HSPD 20 grants unprecedented powers to the Presidency and the Department of Homeland Security, thus overriding the foundations of Constitutional government. NSPD 51 allows the sitting president to declare a “national emergency” without Congressional approval. The adoption of NSPD 51 would lead to the de facto closing down of the Legislature and the militarization of justice and law enforcement:
NSPD 51 grants extraordinary Police State powers to the White House and Homeland Security (DHS), in the event of a “Catastrophic Emergency”. The President, alone, decides what constitutes a national emergency which could lead to the implementation of martial law.
John Warner Defense Act of 2007
Public Law 109-364, The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, was signed into law in a private Oval Office ceremony. It allows the President to declare a “public emergency” and station troops anywhere within America. No doubt that NORTHCOM was created for the enforcement of this eventuality. This act also permits the President to take control of all state based National Guard units without the consent of the state’s governor in order to “suppress public disorder.” Further, Section 1076 of this Act, entitled “Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies and Section 333 Major Public Emergencies which could include any interference with State and Federal Law, says that the President may use the forces at his disposal when he alone determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that a State is incapable of maintaining public order, “in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination thereof or conspiracy to commit these acts against the United States.” This quote does not require any elaboration.
FEMA CAMPS and REX 84
Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to sign Article 48, an “emergency” decree authorizing Hitler to suspend all civil rights, arrest and summarily execute any person who was designated as being a person who was deemed “suspicious” by Hitler and his cronies. Subsequently, a reign of terror ensued in which thousands (communists, social-democrats, labor union leaders) were arrested and sent to prison, or worse. To maximize Nazi influence, the non-Nazi press was outlawed. And so began one of the darkest chapters in human history.
In 1999, the Federal government has entered into a no bid contract with KBR to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States. The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railroad cars equipped with shackles, purportedly to transport “detainees” (San Francisco Chronicle http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/04/ED5OUPQJ7.DTL&hw=Dan+Hamburg&sn=001&sc=1000#ixzz0bOT5ySSa
Who will inhabit these secretive prisons? Author Naomi Wolf, contends that the National Counterterrorism Center holds the names of roughly 775,000 “terror suspects” with the number increasing by 20,000 per month. Another good clue about who may inhabit the FEMA prisons may lie in the now infamous MIAC report. According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous militia member or terrorist designation: The United Nations, the New World Order, Gun Control, the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, The Ammunition and Accountability Act,
The North American Union, Universal Service Program, the use of RFID’s, anti-abortion and illegal immigration. You may also be considered a terrorist if you are any of the following: A Ron Paul supporter, espouse pro-constitutional beliefs, are a member of any fringe political parties (e.g., Libertarian and Constitution parties), pro Second Amendment and amazingly if you are a veteran. Under the Patriot Acts and all the myriad of police state legislation, following 911, we are all at risk. What’s in your wallet?
The National Defense Authorization Act
The unforgivable sin of this holy grail of enslavement coalesces in and around the National Defense Authorization Act. The major provision at issue is Section 1021, which was tucked into an 1800-page conference report that was shuttled through Congress in a matter of days. Given the complexity and weight of the issue, I was interested to read House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon’s post on RedState explaining the bill’s detention policy. Unfortunately, the post is almost useless because it muddles two separate provisions of the NDAA.
Sec. 1021, the bill’s discretionary detention provision, authorizes the President to detain persons who “substantially supported” forces “associated” with al-Qaeda or the Taliban that “are engaged in hostilities” against the U.S. or its “coalition partners.” None of the quoted terms are defined. We do not know what constitutes substantial support, hostilities, or our coalition partners. Critically, the bill does not attempt to define “associated forces,” for if one defines the law vaguely, any person could potentially be declared a terrorist. Without knowing what qualifies as an associated force, no one can be sure they are safe from the government’s detention.
Sec. 1022, the bill’s mandatory detention provision, requires the President to detain members of al-Qaeda who have planned or carried out attacks against the U.S. or its coalition partners. Only sec. 1022 states that it “does not extend to citizens of the United States.
What’s troubling is that Chairman McKeon’s post gives you the impression that it defends Sec. 1021—the discretionary detention provision—when, in fact, his post is all about Sec. 1022, the mandatory provision. The post conspicuously defends “the provision,” without referencing a specific section number. And, at the end, it includes a chart titled “Section 1021 of the FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act,” even though one of the two quotes in the chart is from sec. 1022, not 1021.
Sec. 1021—the provision I and other constitutional conservatives are most concerned about—is much more difficult to defend. Its expansive, undefined, and dangerous detention power goes well beyond what Congress authorized in its September 2011 Authorization for Use of Military Force (9/11 AUMF), even though the bill claims it only “affirms” the President’s authority under the 9/11 AUMF. To understand how much power sec. 1021 gives to the President, consider the 9/11 AUMF’s text, which Congress passed just days after the most deadly attack in U.S. history:
The President is authorized
to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
The 9/11 AUMF authorizes force only against persons and groups who have a connection to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The 9/11 AUMF says nothing about detention, let alone the indefinite detention of American citizens.
Despite the 9/11 AUMF’s plain language, the past two administrations have argued in court that the 9/11 AUMF authorizes the President to indefinitely detain certain persons the administration determines are enemies. Both administrations also have claimed the 9/11 AUMF applies to persons and groups that are “associated” with al-Qaeda or the Taliban. No 9/11 nexus is required, according to the President.
Section 1021 thus claims that it merely “affirms” the President’s authority under the 9/11 AUMF, including the alleged authority to detain persons the President determines are “associated forces.” While the section is framed as an affirmation, it can be viewed as that only if Congress adopted the President’s expansive interpretation of the 9/11 AUMF—an action Congress never had taken before Thursday. To be clear: When the Senate passed the NDAA, for the first time in history, Congress approved the indefinite detention of persons who “substantially supported … associated forces,” whoever the hell they are.
An American citizen living in Michigan makes a one-time donation to a non-violent humanitarian group. Years later, the group commits hostile acts against an ally of the U.S. Under the NDAA that just passed Congress, if the President determines the group was “associated” with terrorists, the President is authorized to detain the donor indefinitely, and without charge or trial.
NDAA proponents sometimes point to an amendment to sec. 1021, added by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, as proof that the NDAA doesn’t apply to Americans. The amendment, now subsection 1021(e), states:
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.
The key to subsection 1021(e) is its claim that sec. 1021 does not “affect existing law or authorities” relating to the detention of persons arrested on U.S. soil. If the President’s expansive view of his own power were in statute, that statement would be true. Instead, the section codifies the President’s view as if it had always existed, authorizing detention of “persons” regardless of citizenship or where they are arrested. It then disingenuously says the bill doesn’t change that view.
In fact, the Senate expressly rejected a provision that would have prevented the indefinite detention of American citizens. Senator Feinstein offered another amendment to sec. 1021 that stated the section “does not include the authority to detain a citizen of the United States without trial until the end of hostilities.” That amendment was rejected 45-55. Sen. Feinstein’s other amendment, which does nothing to protect U.S. citizens, passed 99-1.
The NDAA’s backers
succeeded in part because of the bill’s length and complexity. And I concede that this issue takes time to understand. Once the American public sees for itself what’s included in the NDAA, the problem is how do we get most Americans to become aware of this act which invalidates nearly every civil liberty? The short answer is that you distribute this article far and wide to as many people as possible.
Summary
The government states that they must look at everything to “determine” if individuals or groups might have a connection to terrorist groups. As you can now see, you and I are guilty until proven innocent.
1. Secret CIA prisons are a known fact
2. The use of Gestapo-like torture has been defended by our top governmental officials
3. Spying on all American citizens is legal and has been fully implemented for a very long time.
4. Arrests and indefinite imprisonment without trial are now a legal reality.
5. The plain site existence of the omnipresent imperialistic militarism and corporate-benefiting wars of conquest are a part of the national fabric and the daily operating philosophy of the government.
6. Secret and unlawful detention and even murder has been committed against American citizens.
7. Denial and restriction of habeas corpus. Remember: The Constitution is just a “G__damn piece of paper.”
Amerika is headed back to the future, and the year is 1935. Our future nooses and coffins, incinerators and Camp FEMA reservations are in place. The country is merely awaiting the right trigger event, likely a false flag event, which will bring these resources into play.
We now live in third world Banana Republic where law is meted out at the whim of the power elite. There is no Constitution. There is no justice. There is the “just us” of the global elite who have hijacked our government.
This is not the government that I support. This is not the government that I should be paying taxes to and this certainly is not the government that I want to live.
Resistance Against the Globalists Is Futile Unless
Resistance Against the Globalists Is Futile Unless …
It is hard to argue that early winds of revolution are not swirling in the American air. Even the dumbed down populace is aware that something, yet remains undefined for the ignorant, is terribly wrong as all signs point to very bad times ahead. Those of us who are not prisoners to network news, are all too aware of the depopulation schemes of the globalists who have seized control of the US government. Obama and his handlers seem content to let the coming conflict unfold and come to fruition in order to squash any meaningful resistance to the complete establishment of a scientific dictatorship controlled by the five megabanks.
We see evidence of the coming martial law crackdown as evidenced by the fact that Russian commandos are training and providing policing duties in Colorado Springs. What are the Russians preparing for? Judging by Obama’s recent statements, gun confiscations are a safe bet. When one considers the NDAA, secret midnight arrests, torture and executions of identified dissenters would be another safe bet.
Many Americans brag that American citizens have an estimated 300 million guns and nobody, not even the government, would ever dare to try and subjugate America.
The Hope of a “Red Dawn” Is Long Gone
It is amazing how some very naive Americans put their faith in the Red Dawn scenario in which average American people, armed to the teeth, mount a defense against an invading army or even a tyrannical government. And these naive Americans actually think they can win.
These self-deluded people often quote the architect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, as saying “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
Some historians dispute the fact that Yamamoto ever made the statement. Whether this quote, is true or not, this extremely inaccurate belief system may make us feel emotionally safer for a short while, but in reality, we are all in a great deal of danger considering that the Department of Homeland Security recently purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. I do not foresee any scenario where DHS, FEMA or the TSA are going to face off against invading Chinese and Russian armies in the near future. The next logical question should be, who will be the targets of these newly purchased rounds? Since DHS, FEMA and the TSA are all involved in liberty-suppressing activities within our national boundaries, the answer should crystal clear. And if you require more information in order to make this assessment, consider the DHS inspired MIAC report which identifies Second Amendment supporters, Ron Paul supports, Libertarian and Constitutional Party supporters, pro-constitutional supporters and most of all, returning veterans are labeled as domestic terrorists. And let’s not forget about that little piece of legislation, the NDAA, in which you can now be “disappeared” without due process. To you fans of O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, etc., can you at least now connect a few dots?
The DHS ammunition purchases are just the tip of the iceberg related to the dangers that Americans are facing.
And if the DHS ammo purchases are not concerning enough, proof of the globalists’ intention to place Americans on the most endangered species list with its domestic UN and foreign assets, every American should consider what is going on inside of DARPA. For those of you who have not figured out that we are about to enter American hunting season and you are the game, you should know that DARPA is the top secret research arm for the Department of Defense. Their sole purpose is built around the goal of developing more efficient and greater means of killing. Most of their latest innovations are not based upon use on a strategic battlefield. The intended targets are anybody who opposes the infinite QE banker bailouts, endless wars of occupation and supporters of the Constitution.http://www.darpa.mil/About.aspx
Omnipresent Surveillance
Americans forces, stationed in urban Iraqi areas (e.g. Baghdad) are still coming under fire. DARPA, has responded with technology which allows the military to spy on whole cities with its Large Area Coverage Optical Search-while-Track and Engage (LACOSTE).http://www.darpa.mil/not__found.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/sto/programs/lacoste/index.html
LACOSTE is a program of imaging technology that will allow for “single sensor , day or night, ongoing tactical surveillance of all moving vehicles in an urban area. LACOSTE will eventually be able to identify individual humans in the same manner. This surveillance system is being integrated into department store video surveillance, the street light turned spy Intellistreets and all traffic cameras. If the globalists want to find you, you better have a darn good place to hide.
DARPA’s Straight Shooters
vs. the Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight
In the original Red Dawn movie, I chuckle at the scenes where Wolverines successfully ambush convoy after convoy of enemy columns. This might have been possible in the 1990′s, but that day is long gone. You see, NRA members, the military now possess bullets that cannot miss. On your last trip to your local gun range, how close to 100% was your accuracy?
EXACTO, or the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance, is the first ever guided small caliber (“smart”) bullet. If you’ve ever watched a heat-seeking missile follow a fighter jet on the big screen, then you would comprehend the idea of DARPA’s intention for creating a maneuverable and flexible bullet, which is controlled by a guidance system, that moves with the target and adjusts in mid-flight and to eventually shatters a human skull.
“Take Cover” Commands Cannot Save You
Meet the XM-25 “smart” grenade launcher. The weapon is portable and can be carried to the battlefield by a soldier, or even better, a DARPA killer robot who has orders to search and destroy a specific target which will be identified by facial recognition. Once you are located, the X-25 possess a laser range-finder built in that can detect the distance to the wall or trench that you’re hiding behind and then blow you and your cover to oblivion. Again, there is nowhere to run and hide.
Every Move You Make,
DARPA Will Be Stalking You
Many gun owners mistakenly believe that they are going to be able to carry out acts of terrorism against an illegitimate government as they begin to lockdown the country under a martial law takeover. Thwarting most ideas of a revolutionary effort can be found in the Battlefield Optical Surveillance System, a device that can be mounted on a truck that scans and deciphers the landscape with lasers and sensors. When it sees the almost imperceptible glint of a rifle scope, or more amazingly it also recognizes you through your retinas as the detection device “paints” you with a laser beam, just prior to your demise.
And even in the unlikely event that you can slip into firing range of your intended target, the Boomerang countermeasure system uses an array of microphones which will be able to instantly decipher the speed and direction of your shot, based on the muzzle report and the shockwave of the bullet as it zips past. Immediately, Boomerang knows where the shot came from, and even what kind of weapon was utilized. This system will reduce all future sniper missions to a Kamikaze endeavor.
Please permit me one digression. Because of a Dallas police motorcycle radio which was stuck in the on position, which recorded the shots of the Kennedy assassination, it would now be possible to pinpoint the exact location of all the shots fired at President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, assuming anyone in an official capacity would truly want to take the risk to ascertain the truth.
Speaking of the Kennedy assassination,
it is now possible to thwart an assassination attempt on a presidential motorcade. The Gizmodo Iron Curtain countermeasure can protect a moving vehicle from an incoming RPG, by detecting it and then detonating it. The next generation will be able to do the same with bullets. This is the original Star Trek television show application of Scotty “raising the shields.” It does not take a rocket scientist to project the next development using this technology. This is clearly a Star Wars application on a micro level. On the macro level, we are seeing evidence of a technology which can be applied to an intercontinental ballistic missile shield. So if you and you merry band were able to get a hold of a WMD, the impact could be negated. As difficult as it will be for the average person to fathom, this technology is right here, right now, and it has proven to be effective on a simulated battlefield as evidenced by the following video:
Even the Pros Have Nowhere to Go
I have first hand knowledge of some alphabet soup agency members who have taken retirement/early retirement and located en masse to one of several areas, in the United States and abroad, in which they believe there are “safe areas” in which their survival is enhanced from an upcoming apocalypse. Unfortunately, I believe that these men and their families are going to be very disappointed. Their survivalist plans contain years of stored food, access to fresh drinking water and they are also capable of being off the grid. These new style preppers have also built into their new abodes, an underground hideaway/bomb shelter. Unfortunately, for these freaked out former intelligence types, if somebody, in an official capacity wants these ex-officials dead, DARPA’s Strategically Hardened Facility Defeat program is developing a nuke-free, earth-penetrating munitions to counter the perceived threat of hardened and deeply buried hideaways. These powerful, high-impact, computer guided weapons will be designed to tunnel deep beneath the earth before exploding. Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men.
And We Have Not Even Spoken About …
Regardless of your orientation towards the origins of diseases like AIDS and Lyme Disease, it would be foolish and naive to believe that the next generation of viruses have not been developed complete with antidotes. The strategy would be simple, inoculate the preferred and leave defenseless the great unwashed. I find it interesting that Plum Island’s operations have been subdivided into “branch offices” located in Kansas and the University California at Davis. If anyone thinks that this strategic relocation, which now stretches from sea to sea is a coincidence, I have some proverbial swamp land to sell you.
Salvation From the Coming Apocalypse
You are probably wondering if there any viable options to combat the tyrannical takeover and ultimate planned collapse of America. It is possible that salvation can come in two forms. First, God can provide direct relief through divine intervention. However, if we apply Galatians 6:7 to modern times, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Subsequently, I am not optimistic regarding our chances of immediate and complete divine intervention. It appears from where I sit, God has, at least for now, removed his blessing from our country. And who could blame him, you live in a country which has murdered over 50 million babies since 1973 at the Planned Parenthood Death Camps. However, I would suggest hedging your bet and to keep praying for the elusive divine intervention.
Temporary salvation could also come from a disenchanted UN controlled US military which could dramatically decide to take matters into their own hands. There is growing evidence to support the claim that there appears to be a bifurcation in the US military, and this will be explored in a future article.
For now, I would suggest getting our spiritual house in order and speaking about the coming dangers to as many military personnel as possible because as far earthly solutions go, they may be our only our hope.
Look At Who’s Sleeping with Our Government
Look At Who’s Sleeping with Our Government
Senator McCain and President Obama is OK with these types of atrocities
Senator McCain and President Obama are OK with the raping of female reporters by al-Qaeda backed Syrian Rebels.
A female Al Jazeera correspondent,Ghada Oweis,http://www.shoah.org.uk/2013/06/15/leader-of-western-backed-terrorist-group-al-nusra-rapes-al-jazeera-reporter/ was covering the terrorist activities from different cities in Syria for months. She has been raped by one of the commanders of the Al Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist group. Oweis was raped in Aleppo was quickly moved to Qatar after the incident according to the Egyptian Daily.http://www.shoah.org.uk/2013/06/15/leader-of-western-backed-terrorist-group-al-nusra-rapes-al-jazeera-reporter/
A few days ago on the invitation of one of the commanders of this Salafist group, she went to his office and was forcibly detained. The Al-Nusra militias did not allow her camera crews to enter the office and they were told to come back for the interview tomorrow, then the rape ensued. She is reportedly still in great emotional distress as one would expect following an incident of this type.
Oweis has attempted to be outspoken and demand justice as she has asked that the leaders of the Al-Nusra group punish this particular unnamed commander. Rather than defend their reporter, Al Jazeera, is taking the cowardly position of trying to pressure and bribe Oweis into dropping the matter in order that the publication may continue to support the Syrian rebels.
Reportedly, the terrorist militias, in Syria have been committing numerous atrocities in Syria against innocent civilians through the use of what is call a Fatwa. A Fatwa was issued by on the Myftis of Salafists, that militias fighting in Syrian can for women to “Jihad of Nikah.
In other words these terrorists pigs can demand of any female what they desire to fulfill their Jihad obligations in Syria and this is who the US government is in bed with.
Pretext for War
The pretext for war with Syria now exists as Obama has accused Syrian leader, Assad, of using chemical weapons against the rebels, despite the fact that it appears likely that the al-Qaeda run rebels are the ones using chemical weapons. This is the Syrian version of a false flag attack. This is their Gulf of Tonkin incident which will bring in American forces which will likely trigger a military response from both China and Russia.
Meanwhile, the stumbling and bumbling Senator John McCain downplayed known Syrian rebel atrocities being committed by Syrian rebel forces and suggested that he would be willing to allow violent extremists to take over Syria because they would most likely not be allied with Iran.
There you have it, McCain would accept Hitler and Stalin running Syria so long as the US continues to move further down the road of invading Syria. And why are we getting ready to invade Syria? This is happening in order to get into Iran with less opposition. And Iran has to be taken out because they are threatening the solvency of the Federal Reserve Petrodollar scheme by selling its oil to China, India and Russia for gold. The Kings of fiat paper currencies can never allow Gold to come back to prominence.
This is what we are paying taxes for.?
Sleeping With the Enemy
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The Syrian rebels are being controlled by al-Qaeda. You remember al-Qaeda don’t you? According to our government, they perpetrated 9/11. Doesn’t matter if its true, our government says al-Qaeda did it and now our government is sleeping with the enemy.
WWIII Is Right Around the Corner
Unfortunately, what I have been writing about for the past several months is now beginning to unfold. We now sit on the precipice of a likely series of events which will bring WWIII to the planet. As a prelude, we will witness false flag events inside the United States to justify the war and to provide an excuse to impose martial law upon the American people.
Ask yourself a question. If our governmental leaders are willing to tolerate the raping of reporters by al-Qaeda forces in Syria and senators like McCain are willing to look the other way on this and other Syrian rebel atrocities including the use of Saran gas against Syrian loyalist troops, then should any of us believe that we will not be the targets of the same strategies on the home front when we resist the coming dictatorial crackdown? It kind of makes you wonder why the NSA needs all of our information. Just like Santa they want to determine who has been naughty or nice before the coming crackdown.
Relgions:
There are many (but very importantly) not all who claim to be Christian, Catholic, Jew, Muslim and Atheist, that are guilty of disgusting, atrocious and vile behaviour as can be seen in the Middle East and their behaviour is not only tolerated and accepted it is promoted and encouraged and paid! The body count caused by US and allied forces has resulted in many millions of deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq and many thousands in Libya and Syria.
Sanctions too are evil. May 12, 1996: On “60 Minutes,” Lesley Stahl asks Albright: “We have heard that a half a million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. Is the price worth it?” Albright responds: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price-we think the price is worth it.”
in 1996 that the entirely preventable deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children caused by US sanctions was price that she and others thought was worth it to keep Saddam Hussein regime in check. Last time I checked she was not a muslim. She said this year, that she has said over 5,000 times saying she regrets that comment. However this is misleading because she claimed the sanctions did not apply to food and medicines when sanctions did affect and prevent Iraq from importing enough foods and medicines for its people.

All mainstream religions have believers that carry out vile evil acts because those people are evil. All will be judged for the actions and those found to be evil will have to experience all their evil from their victims point for view for (to them) a moment of terror lasting an eternity.
All mainstream popular religions are evil because they dictate what followers should believe and are designed to prevent people from awakening and connecting to their higher selves and connecting and responding to the light and ultimately their spiritual path back to the true god. True spiritual belief is about awakening that which is within their Inner Nous (not everyone has it) as believed by Gnostics.

Senator McCain and President Obama is OK with these types of atrocities
Senator McCain and President Obama are OK with the raping of female reporters by al-Qaeda backed Syrian Rebels.
A female Al Jazeera correspondent,Ghada Oweis,http://www.shoah.org.uk/2013/06/15/leader-of-western-backed-terrorist-group-al-nusra-rapes-al-jazeera-reporter/ was covering the terrorist activities from different cities in Syria for months. She has been raped by one of the commanders of the Al Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist group. Oweis was raped in Aleppo was quickly moved to Qatar after the incident according to the Egyptian Daily.http://www.shoah.org.uk/2013/06/15/leader-of-western-backed-terrorist-group-al-nusra-rapes-al-jazeera-reporter/
A few days ago on the invitation of one of the commanders of this Salafist group, she went to his office and was forcibly detained. The Al-Nusra militias did not allow her camera crews to enter the office and they were told to come back for the interview tomorrow, then the rape ensued. She is reportedly still in great emotional distress as one would expect following an incident of this type.
Oweis has attempted to be outspoken and demand justice as she has asked that the leaders of the Al-Nusra group punish this particular unnamed commander. Rather than defend their reporter, Al Jazeera, is taking the cowardly position of trying to pressure and bribe Oweis into dropping the matter in order that the publication may continue to support the Syrian rebels.
Reportedly, the terrorist militias, in Syria have been committing numerous atrocities in Syria against innocent civilians through the use of what is call a Fatwa. A Fatwa was issued by on the Myftis of Salafists, that militias fighting in Syrian can for women to “Jihad of Nikah.
In other words these terrorists pigs can demand of any female what they desire to fulfill their Jihad obligations in Syria and this is who the US government is in bed with.
Pretext for War
The pretext for war with Syria now exists as Obama has accused Syrian leader, Assad, of using chemical weapons against the rebels, despite the fact that it appears likely that the al-Qaeda run rebels are the ones using chemical weapons. This is the Syrian version of a false flag attack. This is their Gulf of Tonkin incident which will bring in American forces which will likely trigger a military response from both China and Russia.
Meanwhile, the stumbling and bumbling Senator John McCain downplayed known Syrian rebel atrocities being committed by Syrian rebel forces and suggested that he would be willing to allow violent extremists to take over Syria because they would most likely not be allied with Iran.
There you have it, McCain would accept Hitler and Stalin running Syria so long as the US continues to move further down the road of invading Syria. And why are we getting ready to invade Syria? This is happening in order to get into Iran with less opposition. And Iran has to be taken out because they are threatening the solvency of the Federal Reserve Petrodollar scheme by selling its oil to China, India and Russia for gold. The Kings of fiat paper currencies can never allow Gold to come back to prominence.
This is what we are paying taxes for.?
Sleeping With the Enemy
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The Syrian rebels are being controlled by al-Qaeda. You remember al-Qaeda don’t you? According to our government, they perpetrated 9/11. Doesn’t matter if its true, our government says al-Qaeda did it and now our government is sleeping with the enemy.
WWIII Is Right Around the Corner
Unfortunately, what I have been writing about for the past several months is now beginning to unfold. We now sit on the precipice of a likely series of events which will bring WWIII to the planet. As a prelude, we will witness false flag events inside the United States to justify the war and to provide an excuse to impose martial law upon the American people.
Ask yourself a question. If our governmental leaders are willing to tolerate the raping of reporters by al-Qaeda forces in Syria and senators like McCain are willing to look the other way on this and other Syrian rebel atrocities including the use of Saran gas against Syrian loyalist troops, then should any of us believe that we will not be the targets of the same strategies on the home front when we resist the coming dictatorial crackdown? It kind of makes you wonder why the NSA needs all of our information. Just like Santa they want to determine who has been naughty or nice before the coming crackdown.
Relgions:

The next too-big-to-fail train wreck on the horizon
The next too-big-to-fail train wreck on the horizon
A Taxpayer Bailout for ObamaCare
An American public already reeling from the catastrophic rollout of ObamaCare will more than likely be hearing an unfamiliar term being bandied about in the new year. “Risk corridor” refers to a provision in the law that allows the government to “stabilize” premium costs for insurance companies during the first three years of the healthcare rollout.http://townhall.com/tipsheet/conncarroll/2013/10/23/broken-website-will-send-obamacare-cost-soaring-n1730708
If insurance companies’ “target” costs for providing healthcare has been miscalculated, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will intercede on their behalf. Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer illuminates the nature of that intercession. “The insurers understand that they’re going to be completely ruined,” Krauthammer explains. “And what’s going to happen as a result of this? There’s only one way out, a huge government bailout of the insurers is waiting at the end of next year.” More accurately, it will be a taxpayer-funded bailout, similar to the ones given to the banks and the car companies,http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/krauthammer-huge-govt-bailout-health-insurance-industry-end-2014.
Risk corridors were established to protect insurance companies that signed up too many sick people, relative to the number of healthy enrollees. They were part of a system that also included two other concepts known as “reinsurance” and “risk adjustment.”http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-11-19/a-guide-to-obamacares-backstop-for-anxious-insurance-companies
The reinsurance part of the equation initially compensated insurance companies for enrollees whose costs exceed $60,000 per year. For 2014, that compensation is funded by a $10 billion fund, fed by a $63 tax that has been levied on all healthcare plans. And while the program collects those taxes even from large employer-sponsored plans, payouts only help to underwrite the costs of individual and small-group plans.
Risk Corridors
Risk adjustment refers to the idea that, after insurance companies have calculated all the payments they have made for 2014, those that paid out less than the average cost of compensation would “redistribute” that largesse to companies that paid out more. This redistribution was designed to dis-incentivize insurers from signing up only low-risk healthy people. This part of the law is permanent, and its zero-sum feature is intended to spread risk across the entire spectrum of carriers.
Which brings us to the risk corridors. Risk corridors only apply to insurance programs being sold on the ObamaCare exchanges. It is similar to the risk adjustment concept in that it is also an attempt to even out insurers’ profits and losses. Those insurers who set their rates too high are required to pay a portion of that excess profit to the government. Those that set their rates too low will have a portion of their losses mitigated by a government payout.
As previously noted, the formula only affects adjustments for the first three years of ObamaCare’s implementation. The Incidental Economist’s Adrianna McIntyre provides a chart showing the payout structure. If insurers’ calculations fall between 97 percent and 103 percent of their actual costs, no action is taken. For those whose costs range from 103-108 percent, a 50 percent bailout applies to the amount in excess of 103 percent. Above 108 percent, HHS pays 2.5 percent of target, plus 80 percent of the costs in excess of 108 percent.http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/delaying-the-individual-mandate-would-be-a-headache-for-insurers-but-it-wouldnt-induce-a-death-spiral/
On the other end of the spectrum, costs that range between 92-97 percent require providers to pay HHS 50 percent of the difference between 97 percent and allowable costs. Below 92 percent requires insurers to pay HHS 2.5 percent of the target, plus 80 percent of the difference between 92 percent and the allowable costs.
When the risk corridors were established, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored the program as “budget neutral,” meaning that it was likely there would be just as many insurance companies who overestimated the costs of implementing ObamaCare as those who underestimated them.
14th unilateral change to Obamacare that’s been made without consulting Congress
The critical point is this: these formulas were calculated based on the law as written. As National Review’s John Fund reveals, when the Obama administration moved to allow the hundreds of thousands of Americans who lost their coverage to sign up for bare-bones “catastrophic” plans, it marked “at least the 14th unilateral change to Obamacare that’s been made without consulting Congress.”http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/366828/who-says-obama-hasnt-united-country-john-fund
In other words, due to the lawlessness of the Obama administration, all of those ostensibly budget-neutral calculations have been kicked to the curb.
Furthermore, the administration is well aware of that reality. On Monday, November 25, the administration lowered the reinsurance threshold from $60,000 to $45,000.http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/26/us-usa-healthcare-insurers-idUSBRE9AP0ND20131126 This move will likely transfer billions of additional dollars from taxpayers to the insurance companies, even as it adds billions of dollars to the national debt. And as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) explains in aWall Street Journal editorial, “ObamaCare’s risk corridors are designed in such an open-ended manner that the president’s action now exposes taxpayers to a bailout of the health-insurance industry if and when the law fails.”http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303985504579205743008770218
He further explains that additional regularity rulings “have made clear that the administration views this risk-corridor authority as a blank check, requiring no further consultation or approval by Congress.” He cites section 1342 of the Affordable Care Act, which was implemented last March. To wit: “Regardless of the balance of payments and receipts, HHS will remit payments as required under section 1342 of the Affordable Care Act.”
Thus, for the next three years (at least), insurance companies will be “too big to fail.”
Rubio has introduced a bill to prevent such a bailout, but in a Democratically-controlled Senate headed by Harry Reid (D-NV), such an effort to protect the American public will go nowhere.http://www.nationaljournal.com/health-care/rubio-introduces-bill-to-prevent-obamacare-bailout-20131119
Unsurprisingly, an overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to an insurance company bailout. Overall, 65 percent oppose the idea, but equally importantly, such opposition cuts across several boundaries: 51 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 76 percent of independents give the idea a thumbs down, and that opposition includes every age and demographic group as well.http://news.investors.com/politics-obamacare/120513-681900-two-thirds-oppose-obamacare-insurance-industry-bailout.htm
There is little doubt that much like Congress, the Obama administration considers such public sentiment irrelevant. Yet at some point, when more and more Americans become aware of this sweetheart arrangement, they may also become aware of the bitter irony that engendered it: every unilateral move made by this administration, making an utter mockery of their contentions and those of their allies that ObamaCare was the “law of the land,” has increased the probability of a taxpayer-funded bailout.http://www.gop.com/news/research/five-times-obama-his-allies-claimed-obamacare-was-the-law-of-the-land-settled-and-here-to-stay/
On December 18, Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, was asked whether the administration had a “Plan B” if the number of young, healthy Americans needed to make ObamaCare viable refused to sign up for coverage. “There’s a Plan A,” Furman answered. “Which is to enroll as many young healthy people as you possibly can.”http://washingtonexaminer.com/white-house-no-backup-plan-if-obamacare-fails/article/2541099
Those would be the very same young, healthy people who were told eight days ago that there will be no tax penalty for those who had their existing health insurance plans canceled because of ObamaCare, and who did not find new coverage as required by law. Two thirds of the same young healthy, Americans polled by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics said they will not sign up for any healthcare plan.http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/192132-young-invincibles-spurn-enrollment
Plan B is a taxpayer bailout of the insurance industry.
