Obsolete phrase: “independence of mind”

by Jon Rappoport

August 22, 2017

Like a car with high fins and long protruding tail lights, the phrase “independence of mind” has gone out of style, especially at colleges and universities where it ought to be the most profound ideal. The thugs have taken over.

Obsolete phrase: “independence of mind”

By Jon Rappoport

Like a car with high fins and long protruding tail lights, the phrase “independence of mind” has gone out of style, especially at colleges and universities where it ought to be the most profound ideal. The thugs have taken over.

As recently as 2008, a professor of Jurisprudence at King’s College London, Timothy Macklem, described the phrase in this fashion:

One cannot view in isolation President Donald Trump’s decision about US troop levels in Afghanistan. Because this is bigger than Trump — or any president.

Entretien avec Maurice Lemoine, ex-rédacteur en chef du Monde Diplomatique, spécialiste de l’Amérique Latine.

Depuis le mois d’avril Venezuela s’enfonce dans la crise. La communauté internationale a condamné d’une seule et même voix les agissements du président Nicolas Maduro. Plus de 100 personnes ont perdu la vie lors d’affrontements au Venezuela, ces quatre derniers mois. Le pays a-t-il rompu avec la démocratie, et le président Maduro est-il devenu un dictateur ? Maurice Lemoine nous livre son analyse de cette crise.

Fake evidence used in the Oklahoma Bombing

How official “science” is deployed to advance a political agenda

Fake evidence used in the Oklahoma Bombing

How official “science” is deployed to advance a political agenda

By Jon Rappoport

The public wants to buy every official scientific claim the mainstream press pounds into their brains—whether the issue is vaccine safety, global warming, the “overwhelming success” of medical drugs, the Big Bang theory of the universe’s origin…

The notion that a political agenda underlies such scientific pronouncements is unthinkable.

The establishment propaganda media has dismissed the concept of a deep state or shadow government. They attribute it to paranoid conspiracy theorists on the so-called far right who supposedly influenced Donald Trump. On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we look at the origin and objectives of the real Deep State that has long planned a global super-state controlled by international bankers and transnational corporations.

Goldman Sachs, the president of the US

by Jon Rappoport

August 21, 2017

In this article, I’m not going to trace and list all the Obama and Trump appointees who have ties to Goldman Sachs. The sources are easily available. The Hillary Clinton connections are clear as well.

The point is, Goldman and its allies can exert enormous influence on the direction of the trillion-dollar casino called the stock market.

And the stock market is the universally perceived indicator of the health or illness of the US economy.

Just when US-backed and Kurdish-led forces have encircled the Syrian capital of ISIS, Raqqa, a threatened Turkish invasion could undermine the war against the terror group. Even without meddling from the country that hosts NATO’s second-largest army, the United States is facing formidable odds in trying to pacify areas liberated from ISIS. Turkey’s new incursion, directed against the Kurds, could turn Syria into another Middle Eastern quagmire for the US.

Bien avant l’arrivée de Trump à la présidence, le gouvernement américain se moquait déjà des « droits de l’homme », condamnant les abus commis par les États adverses, mais gardant le silence sur les crimes commis par les agents américains ou leurs alliés, explique Todd E. Pierce.

The Individual vs. Globalism

by Jon Rappoport

August 20, 2017

“Global solution” means the individual is cut out of the equation, he doesn’t count, he doesn’t mean anything in the larger scheme of things, he’s just another pawn and cipher to move around on the board.

This is purposeful.

This is the script for the future: create problems whose only solution appears to be collective.

Following the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, VA last week, Republican and Democratic politicians alike were quick to condemn what they saw. Almost to a man — that man being President Donald Trump — they stressed that the ideology on display was inconsistent with American values and the principles the United States was founded on.

That sounds nice. But it is, of course, mostly false — and that’s part of the problem. While it is true that the United States is founded on admirable ideals, the implementation of these lofty goals has been a work in progress since Day One.

Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: The following is a segment taken from my new book Being in Time - A Post Political Manifesto. The book offers a crude attack on ID politics.

One headline today read, “Republicans in Despair After Trump’s Disastrous Week.”

It brought to mind heated conversations I had years ago with Republican aides on The Hill, folks I have known from when I reported on such things back in the 80s and 90s.

Those conversations were sparked by the first signs of trouble: the Tea Party insurgents. I warned those GOP operatives: “Clean your party’s skirts of these nuts or they will overwhelm you and take over your party.”

The movement to unmoor Confederate monuments gained momentum in 2015, when self-proclaimed white supremacist Dylan Roof posed with a Confederate flag and murdered nine African Americans in a Charleston, SC, church. Activists and politicians worked together to take down the flag in the state and abolish other reminders of hate and bigotry in the South.

The free individual returns from the dead

by Jon Rappoport

August 19, 2017

Freedom isn’t merely an idea. When an individual feels and knows he is free, all sorts of changes take place, even on a physical level:

Brain function increases and quickens. Endocrine levels optimize. The cells of the body awaken to a higher degree, and energy output rises.

From the point of view of the free individual, things are upside down. It is HIS power that is primary, not the monolithic corporate State’s.

All the news that’s fit to omit. Isabel Kershner reports Israelis, rather than Palestinians, are “walled in.”

I’m having a painful attack of nostalgia. I feel a deep pang of loss as I think about the Confederate statues that line Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. Are their days numbered? They stand only a few blocks from where my maternal grandparents lived in the 1950s, and where I spent many summers.  

Israel is banning activists from occupied Palestine based on information obtained through a covert campaign.

Diplomat says Pretoria it will boycott Israel-Africa summit and urge others to do the same.

Once again, the establishment media has taken us down a diversionary path. The tragedy of Charlottesville, where two factions of the political spectrum clashed with deadly consequence, has dominated the headlines.

Charlottesville: black and white conflict in America

And the solution that almost no one appears to want—why are people allergic to solutions that work?

And the solution that almost no one appears to want—why are people allergic to solutions that work?

By Jon Rappoport

My tech partner and producer, Theo Wesson, has made several notes on the latest episode of black-white conflict in America, Charlottesville:

The Justice Department is often zealous, sometimes to the point of recklessness, in prosecuting street crime and drug offenses. But it has been dilatory and feckless — our podcast guest this week calls it “chickenshit” — in prosecuting white collar criminals, many of whom helped to bring down the US economy in 2008.

Once, not that long ago, the government prosecuted the likes of Michael Milken and executives of Enron, Adelphia and Worldcom. It may have been the golden age of white collar prosecution.

I have been following closely the response to Charlottesville, and sadly the situation is escalating and looks like it will get a lot worse before it gets any better. Leading to what many are speculating will be an all-out civil war in the United States.

On August 14, in Durham NC, something strange happened that does not make sense to me.

An anti-fascist woman protester climbed up on the statue of a Confederate soldier, tied a rope around his neck, gave a signal, and her fellow protesters pulled until the statue came crashing down. Then several other protesters converged on the statue, viciously, exuberantly, kicking it again and again.
