L’échec à faire rendre des comptes aux responsables de la guerre en Irak a conduit à des récits erronés sur des « déploiements de troupes couronnés de succès » qui n’ont en fait jamais réussi ; il pourrait s’ensuivre une escalade dans les massacres en Afghanistan, selon James W. Carden.

What is The Matrix

The Yin Yang Experiment

by Jon Rappoport

July 22, 2017

Let’s pretend that a few Chinese sages, long ago, decided to float a trial balloon.

They spread the word that opposites could resolve in a state of harmony. Each polarity could reflect the other.

It was a poetic thought that might be embedded in a few verses.

Republicans and Democrats found something they could agree on this week: Chris Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to advance Wray’s confirmation to the full Senate.

Sweeping bipartisan approval is expected, although only 51 votes are needed to confirm his appointment. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has said he intends to hold the vote before senators leave for August recess.

En musique, il faut qu'il y ait des accords

C'est une question d'harmonie, sinon c'est la cacophonie!

Même le cloporte ne supporte pas les fausses notes...

Il faut que ça s'accorde, que les sons se répondent et se répandent.

En politique, l'oreille n'est pas à la recherche de la même merveille.

Rien n'est pareil. Il faut qu'il y ait des désaccords, une opposition, sinon, il n'y a plus de politique.

Pas d'accords, c'est toute la politique.

Sinon ça devient mythique ou mystique... voire comique!

The individual vs. the illusion of consensus reality

by Jon Rappoport

July 21, 2017

This is such a supercharged subject, I could start from a dozen places.

But let’s begin here: the individual is unique, because he is himself. He is unique because he has his own ideas, because he has his own desires, because he has his own power. That power belongs to no one else.

But let’s begin here: the individual is unique, because he is himself. He is unique because he has his own ideas, because he has his own desires, because he has his own power. That power belongs to no one else.

In particular, it doesn’t belong to the State. The State will always try to suggest that it is granting power to the individual, but this is a lie. A lie broadcast with ill-intent.

Why I love schools that ban books

by Jon Rappoport

July 21, 2017

Let’s start here. In 2016, as US News reports, “The Portland Public Schools Board on Tuesday decided to ban any classroom materials that cast doubt on climate change. The resolution passed unanimously and requires that textbooks and other material purchased by the district present climate change as a fact rather than theory. Material will also need to present human activity as one of the phenomenon’s causes.”

Russian interference in the US presidential election is barely the tip of the cyberwarfare iceberg. American cyber-sabotage of North Korean missiles, North Korea’s attacks on Sony Corporation, Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear program — these are all indications that the breadth and depth of cyber threats are far greater than we realize.

Last month, multiple news outlets reported on what appears to be a “reshuffling” in the line of succession under Saudi Arabia’s 81-year-old King Salman, whose powerful nephew was suddenly forced out as crown prince by royal decree in favor of his much younger, yet impulsive son.

Le soutien du Président Trump au blocus saoudien frappant le Qatar – et son insulte envers l’Iran après qu’il a subi une attaque de l’EI – révèle un penseur dangereusement creux désireux de jeter de l’huile sur les feux du Moyen-Orient, comme l’explique l’ancien analyste de la CIA Paul R. Pillar

As prior Watergate excerpts from Family of Secrets have shown, there is every reason to distrust the accepted story of this seminal event. In fact, Watergate teaches us to be much more skeptical of what we are told by the establishment — the government, academia, big media. Turns out that self-interest, conformity, and suppression of alarming insight are more common than even the most cynical of us may suspect.

My conversation with Jeff Rense

Last night, I was a guest on Jeff Rense’s show. We had a wonderful wide-ranging conversation about education, the joys of reading, the decline of civilization, and the long view of the future.

I said: at some point the whole issue of human destiny will revolve around whether individuals accumulate wisdom or keep accepting the cycle of rise and fall of societies—and Jeff came up with an electric phrase—he said, we need a RENAISSANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL.

Malcolm Mitchell is the Editor and Publisher of Investment Policy Magazine, which he founded in 1997. He has been writing about Social Security since 2002.

 If you’ve ever questioned what happens to your employment taxes, you’ve probably come across answers like the following:

The Social Security “Trust Fund” is a fiction;

Employment taxes are simply taken by the government and added to the general fund to pay for other federal programs; or

You can’t depend on receiving any promised Social Security benefits when you retire.

La déclaration d’Emmanuel Macron du dimanche 15 juillet, lors de la commémoration de la rafle du Vel d’Hiv, attribuant à la France la responsabilité de cet acte atroce choque et scandalise. Elle va à l’encontre de ce que dit le droit constitutionnel sur ce sujet. Or, le Président de la République est l’un des garants de ce droit. Elle constitue une faute politique grave et jette au-dessus des moulins une grande partie des principes de notre droit constitutionnel.

Legally owning a gun in America could get you killed by a government agent. While it still technically remains legal to own a firearm in America, possessing one can now get you pulled over, searched, arrested, subjected to all sorts of surveillance, treated as a suspect without ever having committed a crime, shot at and killed. This same rule does not apply to government agents, however, who are armed to the hilt and rarely given more than a slap on the wrists for using their weapons to shoot and kill American citizens.

If you’ve been paying attention to the Russia story, even if not to every twist and turn, you’ve heard or learned about something call the Magnitsky Act.

This piece of legislation, which imposed deep sanctions on Russia, is named after a Russian lawyer by the name of Sergei Magnitsky. Before his death in a Russian jail, his client, and patron, was an American financier named Bill Browder.

Yes, Bill Clinton ASKED Russia to interfere in a US presidential election

Press outlets are now reminding us that President Bill Clinton interfered in the 1996 Russia election that brought Boris Yeltsin to power for a second term.

This is by way of saying, “Well, if Putin helped Trump win the 2017 election, so what? The US did the same thing in Russia.”

That’s an interesting but not terribly strong argument. However, there is another piece to the 1996 Clinton op, and it is explosive and quite relevant.

This person is Jeffrey Epstein, and he is the man that is behind the so called Lolita Express. Lolita Express is the name given to his place in the Virgin Islands where he was trafficking young girls. We will be investigating his actions and crimes and look into why he got off so easily.
