Turkey is now in league with the Muslim Brotherhood

WikiLeaks cablesÑthe trigger.Ê In The Coming Insurrection, it would be the Middle East first.
El Baredei(?) (Natl. Association for Change), who had no concern with IranÕs nuclear stronghold, says thereÕs no concern with the Muslim BrotherhoodÑtheyÕre for Social Justice.Ê Yeah...where Osama bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and other serious al-Qaeda ÒleadersÓ came from.Ê TheyÕre like your Evangelicals, he says.Ê More like, Only the interior minister was firedÑ you got a new cabinet...Ê What?Ê IsnÕt that what you wanted?

Calls for the destruction of Israel, U.S., Germany, and they want to be free?Ê You got a Mubarak dictatorship because of the calls of destruction.Ê It doesnÕt work.Ê And the press are ignoring this.Ê The press are just punching clocks; dead on the inside.Ê Tea parties bad; Muslim Brotherhood fine.

The same progressive insecurities; they donÕt want to be unseated, yet they donÕt really know how to govern...

Meltdown in the middle East: outgoing flights stalled, 110 dead, violence spread to Yemen, and the U.S. embassy has told Americans to leave.

Egypt to collapse, Saudi Arabia next

A revolution attempting to take place.
After shutting internet access (in and out, so you can see when), Egypt has shut down cell phone service.Ê Mubarak has issued a curfew.Ê Tunisia already fell.Ê Firebombs and calls for communism ignited by those that want it for their power.

Overarching chaos would necessarily bring hundreds of millions of deaths with the consequences, including food shortages.Ê Only anarchists would be happy about that.

The anarchy in Egypt strengthens IranÑtheyÕre behind some of the activity.Ê ItÕs no wonder Ahmadinejad praises the Tunisian uprising.Ê You havenÕt seen the Muslim Brotherhood yet.Ê TheyÕd set the whole Middle East on fire.Ê When it starts to melt down, it goes quickly.Ê This is serious.Ê Egypt holds back an end-of-days scenario.
The protesters say that they will not stop until the regime falls.Ê Central square shut, Obama makes a speech for Òchange,Ó Òrights,Ó even though he was against the liberation of Iraq.

Taught by Balloonheads

Attacks against those that would run for President...and win.
ÒBalloonheadÓ Chris Matthews calls Michele Bachmann a balloonhead, and lays out the same fraudulent argument against the ConstitutionÑthe ÒracistÓ Three-Fifths clause, which actually has to do with adding anti-slavery representation.Ê Counting only human beings in the Census, with zero representation for the slave owners by counting slaves as zero slavery would have ended; the founders could only achieve a compromise.Ê Frederick Douglas understood the Three-Fifths clauseÑhe actually read the Federalist papers, the founding documents.Ê What, is Matthews calling Frederick Douglas stupid?Ê ÒThis woman,Ó he says.

After the brilliant abolitionist mind of Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams fought tirelessly to extinguish slavery, proposing abolitionist legislation that would always be shot down by the south.Ê HeÕs crazyÑany excuse to shut those against slavery down.Ê Adams met and mentored Abraham Lincoln.

In the years of work in drafting the founding documents while Britain was killing our soldiers off

ThereÕs not an honest intellectual bone in these kinds of progressives.Ê Matthews first calls the Tea parties Ôviolent and dangerous,Õ then he says heÕs always wanted to be in a movement like it.Ê It was a shock when he told the truth, that the Great Depression ended because of WWII, not because of the New Deal.Ê What, the abolitionists wanted blacks to be counted as zero a person?

Matthews adds fodder for the progressives in the GOP, as they will go after Palin, Bachmann, and any other self-reliant politician in their ranks.

An airlines executive should be dragged out and drowned, a leftist says.Ê The rise of radicalism, and thus shear stupidity, mindless attacks.Ê Thomas Paine would have gone off the rails, but the founders didnÕt.Ê The willingness to lose everything for freedom.Ê And then you see the video of people attacking others over losing a cell phone, hear the news over stuff, including the story that a cop was killed over a car.

To lose your country, but really the illusion of your country

Never stop learning.Ê The Smithsonian, for a time, said, Ôanything that disagrees with Manifest Destiny, dismiss it.ÕÊ WeÕve done things with EgyptÕs dictator that you wouldnÕt want to hear.Ê The brutal things we have done in/with Egypt.

State of the Union addressÑno-bull on bull

HereÕs my coverage of yet another nice-but-fraudulent speechÑthe reality never matches what this Pres. says.
AP: the speech was practically empty, devoid of facts.Ê Thank you!

Crazy, evil people need you to dismiss their intent

Joel Rosenberg, author of The Twelfth Imam, looked into the scriptures, and wrote Rumors of Wars, collaborated for the making of the beyond-Frontline-quality TV-MA-V documentary (graphic imagery).Ê Crazy, evil people need you to dismiss what theyÕre doing.Ê The end-times ÒTwelversÓ broadcast their intentions to the Iranian people, and a different message in English to everyone else.Ê We donÕt want to Òwipe Israel off the face of the Earth.Ó

Sewing the seeds of destruction, Iran, with Hezbollah, has been helping drug cartels south of the border assassinate cops.Ê The difference in tactics: middle Eastern; coordination is high.

The talk of Jared LoughnerÕs motives, personality gets me to recall the OK Cupid test I did last July.Ê LoughnerÕs a ÒSpiteful Loner,Ó Òmay go on a shooting rampageÓ; failed relationship w/ girlfriend, isolated (kept to books, shut out news), disconcerting aggression, phys. laborÑhe was going to snap, and thumb his trigger finger at the world.

Why not become more like China?Ê Joseph McCarthy tried to fight Communism with Communistic tactics.Ê We have radical Òleadership.ÓÊ The media can only pretend that the Admin. hasnÕt added $3T in debt over just 2 yrs., and go back and forth on Òeconomic recoveryÑ they can only do good,Ó w/ no big picture, little factual backup.Ê Only failures call for socialism, where results must be equalized.

Salon.com conspiracy theories: why donÕt Repubs. just come out with their actual agenda.
All an illusion, besides the dishonesty: these media entities need you to believe that you have a memory/attention span like those of their audienceÑsmall.

Office of Information and Regulation: Cass Sunstein called to Capital Hill

CNN was the only one to carry the Michele Bachmann response...but w/ the wrong camera = She didnÕt connect to the American people.Ê The internet camera was the intended cam, but CNN used other feed.

The 2010 assassination attempt youÕve never heard of

It wasnÕt until yesterday that CNNÕs Eric Erickson made this (barely) national news.
Missouri, Sept 14, 2010: Casey(?) Reznik, a violent leftistÑwhy he was omitted from natl. newsÑthat appeared in the G-20 riots (they deported him), put on a bullet-proof vest, grasped his knife and charged at who he thought was governor Jay Nixon, but critically wounded the school dean instead.Ê Remorseless, Reznik showed no emotion until the police told him that he harmed a dean.Ê He was then pissed.

You have to speak for yourself, as you exist as an individual.Ê If Cohen was shut up then we wouldnÕt know where he stood, just as we wouldnÕt know anything if everything came down to Public Relations.Ê As with dictator, P.R. was openly propaganda before the progressives changed it when fascism was revealed for what it was; silencing people is the necessary tool in controlling people.Ê The pink triangle badge in ÒSILENCE = DEATHÓ was worn by homosexuals that were exterminated in Nazi GermanyÕs death camp genocide, as with the yellow star of David and the Jews.Ê Now the pink badge is worn in gay pride.

China building infrastructure for the worldÕs resources

The largest dam in the world, if used for electricity would take 15+ nuke plants to compete.Ê So large that it is said to tilt the Earth enough to slow the planetÕs rotation by a fraction of a second...Ê Our overlords need to make bold statements.

Overtaking everything, legally buying everythingÑpractically owning people that get themselves into debt Õcause China then owns so much of it...all it takes is for the red state to stop buying ours and the world would come to a screeching halt.Ê A major part of the ÒsuccessÓ is how the people are brainwashedÑtheir wordsÑinto being part of a collective.

FOXCONN: More of a camp than campus, an all-in-one...Groundhog Day.Ê Sleep in one of many bunk beds in a single room, eat breakfast in a large room with many others, work for under $300/mo., go back to sleep.Ê Bill Murray loved it so much that he kept trying to kill himself.Ê And so the suicide rates double each time as theyÕre brainwashed into Òmoving, thinking as one.ÓÊ A massive strike (low wages), a massive ÒletÕs jump out of the building windowsÓ means of suicide.

The Chinese leadership considers the Western world as just a blip, an Òerror that will be corrected soon.ÓÊ There is a big difference bet. our Constitutional Republic and a Socialist Republic (a.k.a. Communism).Ê One enslaves, the other sets the individual free...so long as thereÕs no debt.

The subject tonight: Edward Bernays, and propaganda

From bacon and eggs to cigarette advertising, youÕd think these thingsÕve been around forever.Ê It wasnÕt until Edward Bernays became the Ad Man, the journalist that changed minds, changed culture by treating people like animals.Ê Later in life, he said, with propaganda for War, ÒPropaganda got to be a bad word after the Germans.ÓÊ Teaming up with Walter Lippmann under Wilson, they inadvertently helped Paul Joseph Goebbels bring the Nazis into power...

With the philosophy in the early 20th-century that people are Òanimals,Ó and that they Òreally only operate on four things: Self-preservation, Security, Aggression, and Sex.ÓÊ Underlying, Òpeople are not good, theyÕre not smart.ÓÊ Underlying that, ÒtheyÕre animals, and if you donÕt control them theyÕll act like a herd, so the elite need to come up with ideas to orchestrate and move the herd.ÓÊ It started with Edward Bernays.

ÔWomenÕs liberation (in the 1920s) was suppressing their animal instincts, so smoke these.ÕÊ And you get the doctored doctorÕs adviceÑitÕs hearty, it helps you relax, itÕs part of a balanced, energy breakfast when itÕs really full of cholesterol or nicotine.Ê They got women that were good looking but not looking too much like a model.

Bernays was also behind the piano in the living room.Ê It created a sense of culture, plus the kids would be smarter.Ê (No one becomes smarter without incentive.)

Just how far in the deep end, with the Òherd mentality,Ó was he?Ê HereÕs how his own daughter describes him...
People (that worked) for him Ôwere stupid,Õ and Ôchildren were stupid.ÕÊ And..if people do things in a way that you didnÕt..-that he wouldnÕt have done, ÔThey were stupid.ÕÊ That was aÑit was a word that was used Over and Over and over again; ÔDonÕt be stupid.Õ
>>Interviewer: and the masses?
>>They were ÔStupid.Õ

And for a different mic...
Democracy, to my father, was a wonderful concept, but I donÕt think he felt that Ôall of those puppets out thereÑ(wouldÕve) had reliable judgment.ÕÊ Uh, and thatÑthatÑthey could, they easily might..vote for the wrong man, or want the wrong thing, so Ôthey had to be guided Ñfrom above.ÕÊ Uh..itÕs Ôenlightened despotism,Õ in a sense.Ê You appeal to their desires and their unrecognized longingÑitÕs that sort of thing.Ê That we can..tap into their deepest desires, or their deepest fears, and use that for your own purposes.

Cass Sunstein got his ideas from Bernays: Once you know that people are Human and have a bit of Homer Simpson in them, then uh, there inÑthere is a Lot that can be done to manipulate..them.

Ed RendellÕs own ÒyouÕre stupid if you donÕt get it,Ó in his own twists of logic, in his case for building casinos...
>>Interviewer:...(why continue when theyÕre) losing money.
>>Rendell: Let me ask youÑ for you, do you, out of ÑIÕve known you out of two or three decades, and youÕre a very smart person.
>>But not now.
>>Rendell: But youÕre not getting it.Ê YouÕre not getting it.Ê DonÕt you understand it?

>>Rendell: You guys donÕt Get that!

Robert Brady wants a ban of Òviolent imagery and symbols,Ó such as gun sights/crosshairs, and Louise SlaughterÑviolent nameÑban it too?Ñwants censorship of talk radio.

Some additional history: GiffordsÕ office was vandalized in the hours after the House passed the HC overhaul last March.

LoughnerÕs symptoms of Òdreaming while awakeÓ reveal Paranoid schizophrenia, however inconsistencies in his behavior speak of anger and manipulation.Ê Either way, murder is inexcusable, and he should get a maximum sentence.
