Drain the Swamp? New Trump Appointee is a Saudi Lobbyist

Washington D.C. – The Center For Public Integrity reported late last week that new Trump appointee, Richard Hohlt, is a current registered agent of the government of Saudi Arabia. According to Department of Justice documentsuncovered in the Center’s report, the Saudi Arabian Embassy paid Holt over $430,000 between January and April of 2017. (Further payments to Hohlt will be documented in his next quarterly DOJ filing). Thanks to the Trump appointment Hohlt now serves on the prestigious and influential President’s Commission on White House Fellowships.

As a member of the Commission, Hohlt’s role is to ultimately provide final candidate recommendations for the Fellowship program to the President. The Center For Public Integrity reported recipients of the Fellowship often go on to important positions within the White House and various federal agencies. Past recipients include Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta. Fellowship responsibilities, according to the White House website, “range from chairing interagency meetings and designing and implementing federal policies, to drafting speeches for cabinet secretaries to representing their agencies on Capitol Hill and in international treaty negotiations.” A Fellowship, thus, is often a doorway into prominent political influence.

The Trump campaign of 2016 achieved much of its success by promoting an anti-establishment, anti-lobbying message. “Drain the swamp” was as much Trump’s rallying cry as “M.A.G.A.”. Trump himself tweeted in October of 2016: “I will issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT! #DrainTheSwamp”. As the Center reports, one of Trump’s first executive orders included a lifetime ban on executive branch appointees engaging in work that would require registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). That same act is what requires Richard Hohlt to disclose his work for Saudi Arabia. However, because Hohlt’s work for the President’s Commission on Fellowships is considered part-time Hohlt evades the Trump executive order.

In the Center’s report, Hohlt downplays his role with Saudi Arabia and his lobbying efforts on their behalf. Hohlt claims, “That is not my role” in regards to any efforts by him to lobby the Trump administration on behalf of Saudi Arabia. His role, according to Hohlt’s FARA records, is to “provide them (Saudi Arabia) with advice on legislative and public affairs strategies.” However, in the Center’s report, Hohlt does say that he directly contacted some congressional offices in late May and June regarding an arms sale. Last May, is of course, when Trump traveled to Saudi Arabia and negotiated an arms deal with them.

So Hohlt was on Saudi Arabia’s payroll as recently as two months ago, may still be, and hosts parties which mix Trump administration influencers with Saudi officials and military influencers. Yet, Hohlt wants the public to believe it’s not his role to influence the Trump administration on behalf of Saudi Arabia? Hohlt’s appointment is just another example of the dozens of lobbyists appointed to the Trump administration and the affinity Trump has for the lobbying industry.Officially Hohlt first began his work on behalf of Saudi Arabia in last October. Just two months later, the Washington Post reported Hohlt hosted his annual Christmas party which was attended by numerous influential Republicans, soon to be Trump cabinet members, and the Saudi Foreign Minister and his family. Other guests, reported by the Post, included incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus; Katie Walsh and Josh Pitock, advisers and aides to Trump and Pence; Senators Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.); Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.); Thailand’s ambassador to the United States; Airbus U.S. chief executive Allan McArtor; and Bret Baier and James Rosen of Fox News. The Hohlt Christmas party was a typical old boys network of Republican and conservative influencers plus Saudi influencers, military influencers, and conservative media.

The World Is Now $217,000,000,000,000 In Debt And The Global Elite Like It That Way

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.

The borrower is the servant of the lender, and through the mechanism of government debt virtually the entire planet has become the servants of the global money changers. Politicians love to borrow money, but over time government debt slowly but surely impoverishes a nation. As the elite get governments around the globe in increasing amounts of debt, those governments must raise taxes in order to keep servicing those debts. In the end, it is all about taking money from us and transferring it into government pockets, and then taking money from government pockets and transferring it into the hands of the elite. It is a game that has been going on for generations, and it is time for humanity to say that enough is enough.

According to the Institute of International Finance, global debt has now reached a new all-time record high of 217 trillion dollars…

Global debt levels have surged to a record $217 trillion in the first quarter of the year. This is 327 percent of the world’s annual economic output (GDP), reports the Institute of International Finance (IIF).

The surging debt was driven by emerging economies, which have increased borrowing by $3 trillion to $56 trillion. This amounts to 218 percent of their combined economic output, five percentage points greater year on year.

Never before in human history has our world been so saturated with debt.

And what all of this debt does is that it funnels wealth to the very top of the global wealth pyramid. In other words, it makes global wealth inequality far worse because this system is designed to make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.

Every year the gap between the wealthy and the poor grows, and it has gotten to the point that eight men have as much wealth as the poorest 3.6 billion people on this planet combined…

Eight men own the same wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of humanity, according to a new report published by Oxfam today to mark the annual meeting of political and business leaders in Davos.

This didn’t happen by accident. Sadly, most people don’t even understand that this is literally what our system was designed to do.

Today, more than 99 percent of the population of the planet lives in a country that has a central bank. And debt-based central banking is designed to get national governments trapped in endless debt spirals from which they can never possibly escape.

For example, just consider the Federal Reserve. During the four decades before the Federal Reserve was created, our country enjoyed the best period of economic growth in U.S. history. But since the Fed was established in 1913, the value of the U.S. dollar has fallen by approximately 98 percent and the size of our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.

It isn’t an accident that we are 20 trillion dollars in debt. The truth is that the debt-based Federal Reserve is doing exactly what it was originally designed to do.  And no matter what politicians will tell you, we will never have a permanent solution to our debt problem until we get rid of the Federal Reserve.

In 2017, interest on the national debt will be nearly half a trillion dollars.

That means that close to 500 billion of our tax dollars will go out the door before our government spends a single penny on the military, on roads, on health care or on anything else.

And we continue to pile up debt at a rate of more than 100 million dollars an hour. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government will add more than a trillion dollars to the national debt once again in 2018…

Unless current laws are changed, federal individual income tax collections will increase by 9.5 percent in fiscal 2018, which begins on Oct. 1, according to data released today by the Congressional Budget Office.

At the same time, however, the federal debt will increase by more than $1 trillion.

We shouldn’t be doing this, but we just can’t seem to stop.

Let me try to put this into perspective. If you could somehow borrow a million dollars today and obligate your children to pay it off for you, would you do it?

Maybe if you really hate your children you would, but most loving parents would never do such a thing.

But that is precisely what we are doing on a national level.

Thomas Jefferson was strongly against government debt because he believed that it was a way for one generation to steal from another generation. And he actually wished that he could have added another amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would have banned government borrowing…

“I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing.”

And the really big secret that none of us are supposed to know is that governments don’t actually have to borrow money.

But if we start saying that too loudly the people that are making trillions of dollars from the current system are going to get very, very upset with us.

Today, we are living in the terminal phase of the biggest debt bubble in the history of the planet.  Every debt bubble eventually ends tragically, and this one will too.

Bill Gross recently noted that “our highly levered financial system is like a truckload of nitro glycerin on a bumpy road”. One wrong move and the whole thing could blow sky high.

When everything comes crashing down and a great crisis happens, we are going to have a choice.

We could try to rebuild the fundamentally flawed old system, or we could scrap it and start over with something much better.

My hope is that we will finally learn our lesson and discard the debt-based central banking model for good.

The reason why I am writing about this so much ahead of time is so that people will actually understand why the coming crisis is happening as it unfolds.

If we can get everyone to understand how we are being systematically robbed and cheated, perhaps people will finally get mad enough to do something about it.

MORE Evidence of Dan Love’s Criminal Conduct

Information within the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love and the federal government furthers the contention that he is a thief.

by Marjorie Haun    June 30, 2017

(Free Range Report) – The name ‘Dan Love’ has become synonymous with the arrogant attitudes and feckless, iron-fisted tactics so commonplace in federal administrative agencies.  Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agent and sometimes director, Dan Love, is being investigated by the federal Inspector General’s Office (OIG) for unethical, possibly illegal activities related to incidents during his term as an investigative agent and law enforcement director in Utah and Nevada.

But Dan Love is no aberration. He was acclaimed and rewarded for his strong-arm tactics following the tragic Utah antiquities sting, Operation Cerberus, and was put in charge of the outrageous Bundy Ranch raid in April of 2014. By that time, Love had already established a reputation for ruthlessness, and it’s very likely that then-BLM Chief and Harry Reid lapdog, Neil Kornze, appointed him precisely because of his willingness to overstep the bounds of legal authority and common decency.

With the Trump Administration taking serious steps to return the BLM to its proper mission and restore respectability to its public image, Interior Secretary Zinke is starting to address the agency’s nuisance personnel and policies. And although Dan Love is a vestige of Obama-era aggression and overreach, he’s a creation of the federal government, and it’s up to the feds to take care of their miscreant problem child.

Free Range Report (FRR) issued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the OIG earlier this month, however, because the investigation is active, we are unable to obtain detailed information about the scope and implications of Love’s apparent criminal conduct. But the office did respond with this:

FRR has documented Love’s sadistic behavior towards the family of the most tragic of his victims, Dr. James Redd, whom Love targeted, harassed, and drove to suicide over a tiny Native American bead. And Love’s thuggish tactics related to the Bundy Ranch standoff, and the Burning Man event of 2015, have been broadcast widely. But on May 19th an explosive report by Deb Jordan of the Pete Santilli Show, revealed that Love’s crimes are worse than previous reports have shown. It stated:

According to records, a memorandum from The US Department of The Interior dated November 2nd, 2016  and signed by the BLM Director of Law Enforcement Security Salvatore R. Lauro , was issued to SAC Love informing him of his immediate suspension from duty and directing him to turn in his uniforms, badges, and government issued firearms.  Love was also stripped of his Law Enforcement Authority.

The suspended BLM Special Agent In Charge was being investigated internally for two extremely heinous acts.

The first offense on record was, that on more than one occasion Love ordered a subordinate to drive a government issued vehicle to run personal errands for him.  There have been some outside reports claiming the subordinate found ancient Indian artifacts in Love’s vehicle during this process, but the most egregious allegation was still to come.

After a raid on the Redd Family of Blanding, Utah, that also involved several other collectors of ancient Indian artifacts in the surrounding area, Love demanded the Utah Department of The Interior Evidence Custodian to retrieve several of the artifacts from the evidence room so he could display them on his desk. The internal investigation also states that Love gave at  least several BLM Agents, other “Federal Agents,” and one private contractor “Moqui Marbles” to keep as a trophy after the 2009 raid he and FBI Special Agent Greg Bretzing called, Operation Cerberus.

Although we have not been able to view the documents mentioned in the Pete Santilli Show report, all available information reinforces the supposition that the current Dan Love investigation is serious and far-reaching. In February, Love’s withholding and deletion of federal records–both, serious crimes–related to the Bundy Ranch raid and Burning Man event, were addressed in a letter from House Oversight Chairman, Jason Chaffetz (UT) to the OIG. It reads, in part:

I understand your office initiated this investigation in October of 2015 after receiving numerous complaints concerning Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee Daniel Paul Love. The report documents numerous instances of troubling behavior exhibited by Love.

One such instance involved the intentional withholding of documents responsive to a congressional inquiry. Your report documents that a witness told your investigators that after receiving a congressional request for documents, the witness heard Dan Love “say to [another

BLM employee] that [said BLM employee] needed to make sure that he scrubbed the emails before he sent them, you know, flagging anything that looked inappropriate so that [Dan Love] could remove them if needed.”

In another part of the report, a witness testifies about how a BLM employee accessed and “deleted hundreds of documents” from a shared network. The deleted documents were “team documents” which served as the “historical record or administrative record” for a BLM authorized event. The witness stated the deleted documents were subject to the Federal Records Act, and were required, under the law not to be destroyed. If substantiated, these attempts to conceal documents and destroy federal records responsive to a congressional inquiry are unlawful, as it is a federal crime to obstruct a congressional investigation or falsify, conceal or cover up a material fact in one.

And it goes on:

Your report documents that Love allegedly attempted to influence the outcome of your investigation by coaching a witness in advance of an interview with your investigators. In your investigative report, you state a specific occasion when ” Dan Love called [a BLM employee] and… essentially gave [said BLM employee] talking points for any questions that may come up during his interview” with your office.

The report states Love provided that same BLM employee with “rationalizations,” leading the employee to believe Love was essentially telling them what to say in the interview. This allegation is problematic as it occurred after you had already initiated your investigation into Love’s behavior.

As a federal law enforcement officer, Love’ s actions have the potential to not only taint your investigation, but to seriously undermine the trust in BLM’ s law enforcement office and thwart congressional oversight of the Bureau. As such, I request that you investigate the specific allegations raised in your interviews of destruction of federal records, witness tampering, and obstruction of a congressional investigation.

Information within the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love and the federal government furthers the contention that he is a thief. FRR obtained a copy of the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the Estate of Dr. James Redd against Dan Love. Information in the lawsuit confirms that Dan Love kept some crude artifacts Ted Gardiner (the now-dead secret informant who helped entrap the Redds) acquired from Jeanne.

The crude artifacts should have been entered into the evidence locker following the raid, but they were not. After searching for the artifacts the FBI found them in Dan Love’s car.  An FBI document contained in the wrongful death lawsuit (exhibit 11) reveals that Dan Love was reprimanded and written up for keeping Jeanne Redd’s artifacts for his personal use, and failing to enter them property into evidence. When the Redd Family filed this, the federal government quickly had this document (exhibit 11) sealed so no one could see or read it but it is mentioned in the lawsuit itself. See below:

While the OIG investigates Love for his legal and ethical malfeasance, his human victims know of, and must live with the consequences of his appalling moral lapses. Through interviews with members of the Redd Family, FRR learned that Jeanne Redd, the widow of Dr. James Redd, once indicated that Dan Love confiscated her journal during the Operation Cerberus raid and then “proceeded to read it with great interest.”

When Dan Love and the other federal agents involved in the raid rifled through her collection of artifacts, Love took special note of the items Jeanne was most fond of. A month after the raid and Dr. Redd’s death, Dan Love and the others came to Jeanne’s house to remove the remaining artifacts. While in her home, Dan Love said to Jeanne, while sneering, that he knew what her favorite artifact was. He then said it is the pendant that looks like a sprocket, and Jeanne said ‘yes.’

With evidence building of Dan Love’s criminal, unethical and immoral conduct, the ongoing investigation is likely to result in charges against the BLM’s very face of arrogance and raw power. Lives lost and suffering caused by his actions cannot be replaced or compensated for, but many victims of the overreach, dishonesty, violence, cruelty, and larceny of Dan Love hope that a measure of justice will soon be realized.

No Need for Federal “Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force” if Police Allowed to Do Their Jobs

In an early-morning tweet, President Donald Trump decried the violence in Chicago and announced that he was sending in “federal help.” But the rationale for this “help” would not exist if Chicago police were not hamstrung by the war on cops and the “Ferguson Effect.”

President Donald Trump’s early morning Tweet on Friday decried the continuing violence in Chicago and announced that he was sending in “federal help.” Tweeted the president: “Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!”

As of Sunday June 25 there were 308 murders in Chicago as compared to 311 at the same time last year. President Trump disparaged the continuing violence in Chicago during his campaign and then following his inauguration, calling it “horrible carnage” and “out of control” and threatening to “send in the feds” without defining exactly that he meant.

With the creation of the “Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force” (unfortunately linking crime with guns in the public’s perception) observers are learning more about what he meant: It will involve a “closer” working relationship between the Chicago Police Department (CPD), state troopers, federal ATF agents, and Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors. It will also involve more federal money and technology to build out “tech-based nerve centers” that can track the location of gunshots and then tie them to known criminals and gangs. There will be another 20 federal ATF agents involved as well, completing the plan that Chicago ATF Special-Agent-in-Charge Celinez Nunez recommended during conversations with DOJ officials earlier this year.

Nunez’s recommendation was based upon her prior experience in working with the locals while special agent in charge of the Seattle Field Division. She created and operated the “Puget Sound Regional Crime Gun Task Force” which, according to her bio, was successful in linking gun violence with known criminals while expanding efforts to reopen “dead end” cases.

Chicago PD officials say that her new “strike force” will be a “specialized team of city cops, federal agents and Illinois state troopers” who will work “exclusively” on gun violence that has plagued the city for the last two years.

However, the federal “rescuers,” and local authorities who want the feds to come to the rescue, are overlooking a crucial, documentable fact: The crime wave in Chicago is being exxaberated by a war on police in general and the "Ferguson Effect" in general. And this tragic, and avoidable, increase in crime is being used as a rationale for the federal intervention.

Heather Mac Donald exposed the “Ferguson Effect” and its consequences in her book The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe. First coined by Sam Dotson, chief of the St. Louis Police Department in 2014, the term describes the increasing reluctance of officers on the beat to confront criminals owing to fears that they might be charged themselves with criminal activity. As a result, wrote Dotson, “The criminal element is feeling empowered.”

In an article appearing in the Wall Street Journal in May of 2015, Mac Donald claimed that, thanks to the “Ferguson Effect” — named for Ferguson, Mo., where the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown took place — “cops are disengaging from discretionary enforcement activity,” leading inevitably to that criminal “empowerment.”

In another article appearing in the Journal, on September 11, 2016, Mac Donald noted that “Chicago officers have cut back drastically on proactive policing under the onslaught of criticism from the Black Lives Matter movement and its political and media enablers.” As a result, she wrote, “criminals are back in control and black lives are being lost at a rate not seen for decades.” But not surprisingly, the cause-and-effect relationship between the hamstringing of local police and runaway crime was not included in the public announcements concerning the Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force.

What is obvious to even the most casual observer is the dangerous presence of federal agents, federal aid, and federal technology all coordinated by a federal ATF agent skilled in such matters in “helping” the CPD restore order. What is less obvious is the difficulty of applying common sense to the liberal anti-gun and anti-police establishment that rules Chicago. James Fitzgerald, head of the Support Your Local Committees sponsored by The John Birch Society in its efforts to inform and educate, made the point clear in a conversation with this writer. Said Fitzgerald,

It doesn’t matter what the Trump administration says about wanting to help Chicago; much of the crime problem in Chicago can be attributed to the present attitude that police must not be allowed to perform their duties properly without worrying about being sanctioned, punished, attacked, smeared or fired as a result.

If the police were simply allowed to do their job, said Fitzgerald, there wouldn’t be a need for so-called federal "help.” After all, it wasn’t until the ACLU’s intervention that Chicago crime began to soar. According to the Chicago Tribune, the city"s violent crime rate is currently more than 40 percent higher that it was in 2015.

Top 10 Pieces of Modern Day Propaganda – Part 2 (Health)

Looking to Big Pharma-Western Medicine to solve all your health problems is dangerous. Health propaganda is bad for your health!

Health propaganda is pervasive. There are many misconceptions, omissions, distortions and lies surrounding the issue of health and medicine. Many are propagated by those who own Big Pharma (i.e. the Rockefellers and their ilk) who set the platform for Allopathy or Western Medicine to assume a monopoly and dominate healthcare (or more accurately “health management”) at the start of the 20th century (this article The Flexner Report: How John D. Rockefeller Used the AMA to Take Over Western Medicine reveals how they did it). Unfortunately, much of this disinformation is unwittingly propagated by well-meaning parents who want their children to be healthy but simply don’t know how to see through all this health propaganda. The result is a population which has been trained to look outside of itself for healing, to depend on Government and Big Pharma to take care of its health, and to unquestioningly accept the opinion of their (Western) Doctor. Meanwhile, epidemics of cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia) rage throughout the US, Australia and many Western nations.

With that in mind, here is a collection of the top 10 pieces of modern day propaganda in the area of health, part 2 of a series (click here for part 1).

1. Your health is just dependent on chance and/or genetics. Gotcha! How many people have fallen for this one? The common themes behind both of these beliefs are fatalism and finding an excuse not to take responsibility. If you’re fated or destined to get disease, what’s the point trying to live healthfully? If you frequently succumb to bad luck with your health, why try? It you’re stuck with “bad genes” and that’s just the way it is, what’s the point? It is true that genetics indicate tendencies and proclivities, but those tendencies and proclivities still have to be activated. Consider the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bruce Lipton on epigenetics, which affects how genes are read by cells and subsequently how they produce proteins. This website gives a good introduction to the topic of epigenetics:

“Epigenetics Controls Genes. Certain circumstances in life can cause genes to be silenced or expressed over time. In other words, they can be turned off (becoming dormant) or turned on (becoming active).

Epigenetics Is Everywhere. What you eat, where you live, who you interact with, when you sleep, how you exercise, even aging – all of these can eventually cause chemical modifications around the genes that will turn those genes on or off over time. Additionally, in certain diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer’s, various genes will be switched into the opposite state, away from the normal/healthy state.

Epigenetics Makes Us Unique. Even though we are all human, why do some of us have blonde hair or darker skin? Why do some of us hate the taste of mushrooms or eggplants? Why are some of us more sociable than others? The different combinations of genes that are turned on or off is what makes each one of us unique. Furthermore, there have been indications that some epigenetic changes can be inherited.“

The point is this: you have control over which genes get expressed (activated) or suppressed (become dormant). In a sense, life is fragile. At the same time, you’re not just some powerless little speck of dust that has no choice or control over what happens – although it certainly suits those in authority for you to believe you are.

2. You can be always be cured by a magic pill from Big Pharma. False. This is a corollary from the first point above. If you fall into the trap of not taking responsibility for your health – and I mean all aspects (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) – then you may tend to see the body like a machine or vehicle that needs repairing by a doctor-mechanic. You may also tend to believe the lie that Big Pharma has a magic pill for everything, that this magic pill can solve all of your problems (without any side effects) and that even if Big Pharma doesn’t have a magic pill now, they’ll have one in the future. However, one need only look at the shocking count of iatrogenic deaths (deaths caused by Western doctor and Western medical methods – around 225,000 per year according to Dr. Starfield in her 2000 study which makes it the #3 leading killer of Americans) to realize that Western Medicine is causing a lot of grave damage at the same time it treats people.

How can Big Pharma and Western Medicine ever create the “perfect cure” or the “cure for everything” when they are based on limited and materialistic scientific models that fail to understand the holographic and energetic nature of reality?

Besides, by buying and suppressing genuine cures, Big Pharma has shown that cares more about “treating” and “managing” disease (which is more profitable) than curing it (or healing it which is a whole other level).

3. Cancer is a terminal disease and isn’t curable. False! How many cancer survivors out there contradict his piece of modern day health propaganda? The number of effective and successful natural cancer remedies, cures and protocols is piling up. There are so many now: laetrile/amygdalin/vitamin B17 (usually from apricot kernels), DCA, cannabis oil, salvestrols, graviola/soursop, the maple bicarbonate treatment, intravenous injections of sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda) as pioneered by the Italian Dr. Simoncini, the Budwig diet, cesium chloride, the Gerson Therapy, the Hoxsey Cure, Essiac Tea, the anti-neoplaston treatment of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski and others. CancerTutor.com is a great resource for those investigating it. Yes, getting cancer may be scary, but it’s important to know there are natural options outside of toxic chemotherapy and radiation where the cure is deadlier than the disease.

4. “Heart-Healthy Foods™” are good for your heart and your health. Not always – and sometimes they are atrocious for your heart! This kind of toxic health propaganda is particularly insidious, since it fools people into thinking they are doing something good for themselves when they purchase packages with the symbol on it. Heart-Healthy Food is a creation of the AHA (American Heart Association) who used the faulty research of Dr. Ancel Keys, the guy who rose to prominence in the 1950s (and was on the front cover of Time magazine) for promoting the false idea that saturated fats caused heart disease. For the background to this health propaganda, read the article Plastic Oils vs. Saturated Fats: Busting the Propaganda. AHA has dutifully spouted out the same line of disinformation ever since, claiming that because all saturated fats are “bad”, it’s therefore better to eat margarine instead of butter. This is equivalent to saying that hydrogenated and trans fats are healthier than natural fats from animal (e.g. dairy) and plant (coconut) sources. Yes, the AHA also advocates a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts and legumes, but its information has been skewed by the corporations funding it, who hawk “vegetable” oils (a deliberate misnomer which really means industrial seed oils).

5. Eating raw is bad, unhealthy and dangerous. Not true. The demonization of raw food makes sense when you consider that the forces running the world are pushing you away from natural, juicy and vibrant ways of eating and living to synthetic, dry and dead ones. When fear of a pathogen gets out of control, government authorities often respond with a sledgehammer where a fine tooth comb was needed. Look at how California is now required to pasteurize all their almonds by law. Yes, eating raw increases your chances (although still tiny) of picking up some harmful bacteria, but it also increases your probability (to a level of certainty) of getting more nutrition and vitality out of your food! The raw diet is not for everyone, however there is little doubt that introducing more raw food into your diet will increase your health.

6. Fasting is dangerous. False. There are many ways to fast, from doing intermittent fasting (an eating pattern where you have cycle between periods of fasting and eating throughout the day) to doing 3-day, 7-day, 10-day or even longer fasts. Some people do the Master Cleanse (consuming only a lemon juice-maple syrup-cayenne pepper drink), other people do a vegetable juice fast and still others do a water-only fast. Fasting is not for everyone, especially children or pregnant women. It is best to get guidance from others who have done it and to start slowly, but evidence shows that by giving your body a break from digestion, you can achieve many health benefits. You allow your body to repair and regenerate in a way it cannot do if it is digesting food all the time.

More health propaganda: most supplements are useless and may actually be doing you harm.

7. Most supplements are great for your health. False. Many of them are made of synthetic vitamins, stuffed with fillers and even contain GMO ingredients. It is preferable to get all your nutritional needs straight from food, however if you are going to take supplements, use ones which are derived from wildcrafted or organic herbs, plants and other sources. Calcium supplements are especially dangerous since they are composed of ground up fossils and can lead to calcification. Lots of people suffer calcification in many areas of the body, e.g. the eye (cataracts), mouth (plaque), bones (arthritis), heart (heart attack) or brain (stroke). Calcium deposits obstruct the internal flow of energy, cause inflammation, shut down the pineal gland and can lead to cancer.

For more information on the stark differences between synthetic and natural vitamins, see the research of people like Dr. Theil.

8. Homeopathy is quackery and doesn’t work. False. More arrogance that comes from ignorance. Homeopathy is based on an entirely different (and deeper) understanding of reality that the purely rationalistic, materialistic Western Medicine which cannot bring itself to accept that we live in a holographic world where thought forms and energy are powerful forces that shape our lower physical reality.

Here’s how homeopathy works in a nutshell. There are 2 fundamental approaches to diseases. You can follow the Law of Contraries, where if someone has pain, you provide a substance that counteracts (acts opposite to) that pain. Alternatively, you can follow the Law of Similars, where you use a substance which would produce symptoms in a healthy person but actually cures those same symptoms in a sick person! Homeopathy works using the latter law. It takes substances that would be poisons, then shakes and dilutes, shakes and dilutes, until the remaining water or pellet contains only a fraction or imprint of the poison – enough when ingested that it stimulates the body to correct the imbalance. It also takes substances that are healthy and non-toxic and dilutes them in the same way.

Homeopathy recognizes the body is the ultimate healer; it is designed to stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms, rather than suppress symptoms or provide temporary pain relief like Allopathy. In 1890 in the US (before the Flexner Report), around 25% of doctors were homeopathic, including John D. Rockefeller‘s personal doctor and the doctors of the British Royal Family.

As David Icke writes in the Phantom Self (see my review of the book here):

“Homeopathy is a healing technique ridiculed by Mainstream Everything for the same reason – ignorance … Homeopathy is based on the fact that everything is information whether it’s a plant or a drop of water … The Aerospace Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, is [a] center for information in water research … they put a flower in a tank of water in one experiment and when it was removed they photographed the droplets. What they discovered confirmed two major truths about reality. One was once again the holographic principle with information of the whole flower found in every droplet. The second was that even when the ‘physical’ flower was removed the information from the flower was retained in the water. I have but one thing to say … homeopathy.”

Modern day health propaganda insists that homeopathy is quackery – however it only dismisses homeopathy due to sheer ignorance.

9. FDA approved drugs are safe. Not even close to being true. The FDA has long been bought off by Big Pharma and functions as its lapdog, not its guard dog. Did you know that, according to this recent Natural News article, a staggering 33% or one third of FDA approved drugs turn out later to have serious side effects and health problems – so serious that they are pulled off the market? How could anyone trust the FDA’s approval process with failure rates like that?

10. Vaccines are safe. No way! Vaccines are among the chief weapons of modern day health propaganda, and there are movements afoot all over the world to make them mandatory, which is nothing less than medical tyranny or medical fascism. Year after year, the victims of vaccine damage pile up, whether it be people suffering from fever, infertility, paralysis, brain damage and death. In the US, Big Pharma achieved the deft legal and political maneuver of having a law passed that exempts them from being sued for vaccine damage in normal courts. Meanwhile, the system that has been set up (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program [VICP]) is a quasi-court that favors the vaccine manufacturers. To quote from another Natural News article,

“… the government has paid out over $3 billion in awards and legal fees for families and persons that have been affected by vaccine damage between the years of 1989 and 2015. In total, 3,937 cases have resulted in the awarding of financial compensation via the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). And those are just the ones who managed to convince the court that a vaccine damaged their child or themselves. Nearly 10,000 people have had their cases dismissed by the court …

…

Robert Moxley, a former vaccine attorney, writes, “From the passing of the legislation in 1986, the process has been rigged, one major step at a time, in favor of the vaccine-industrial complex.” … the VICP protects the vaccine industry, rather than the humans harmed by their inoculations … “The injuries continue, and awards continue to be made, practically in secret,” he states … the cases of vaccine injury continued to pile up, the government, rather than hold manufacturers accountable, chose to revise their standards for claims regarding vaccine injuries — making it all the more difficult for claims to pass through the system.”

Conclusion: Health Propaganda

As with geopolitics (part 1 of this series), there is a lot of modern day health propaganda around. In this case, what you don’t know can kill you. It is vitally important to educate yourself about health, nutrition, natural cures, remedies, medicines and protocols, the strengths and weaknesses of different medical systems and the nature of Big Pharma. Still more important is your mindset; yes it’s great to cut through the health propaganda, but best of all is to take full responsibility for your state of health. Stay tuned for part 3.

3.5 Billion Unknowingly Poisoned By Airlines Each Year?

It’s been five months since our first investigative report about the serious health hazards associated with modern air travel: “Asbestos of the Sky” – The Aviation Industry’s Darkest Coverup.

I wish the title of the article were hyperbole, but it really is that dark, and the coverup stretches over half a century, being no less devastating to public health than other agendas you may already be familiar with such as Big Tobacco’s Smoking-Cancer link and the CDC’s Vaccine-Autism coverup.

The proof is in how many people still know absolutely nothing about the devastating health risks of bleed-air being fed directly into the cabins of planes from their engines.

Thankfully, the tides are beginning to shift. There has been a flurry of global reporting on new research from Stirling University hosted on the WHO’s website that confirms there is a clear pattern of and chronic symptoms ranging from breathing and vision problems, to neurological ones like headaches and dizziness in those exposed to the air blown from engines into aircraft cabins.

The Daily Mail, reporting on the new study recently stated:

‘There is a clear cause-and-effect relationship linking health effects to a design feature that allows the aircraft air supply to become contaminated by engine oils and other fluids in normal flight.

‘This is a clear occupational and public health issue with direct flight-safety consequences.’

The Telegraph’s headline is even more to the point: “New health concerns – and cancer link – over toxic cabin air breathed by 3.5 billion passengers each year”

If you or anyone you know flies, nothing could be more important than for you to know what you are being exposed to, and what can be done about it.  I am convinced that consumer pressure on the industry will be the critical factor in reforming the industry, and not top-down political pressure by lawmakers, which will come only much later.

The first positive sign is that Boeing has already developed a non-toxic alternative called the 787 Dreamliner which is the only plane that takes fresh air from outside instead of directly from compressors in the jet engines to supply the cabin. Unfortunately, at this time, it is only rarely used for domestic flights. But consumer education and subsequent demand can quickly correct that problem!

Please share this newsletter with friends, family, loved ones, and health practitioners. Together I know we can make a big difference!

Fluoride Lunacy

Almost 70 years after the first cities started fluoridating their water supplies, more than 90 percent of Americans still get cavities.

If that weren’t enough to ban fluoride, there’s this: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently added fluoride to its list of developmental neurotoxins—chemicals that interfere with normal brain development in utero and in children (though the agency claims the levels found in drinking water are “safe”).

In 2006, the National Research Council of the National Academies (NRC) determined that fluoride is an endocrine disruptor that damages the thyroid.

And still . . . cities are fluoridating water. Like the video’s narrator says: lunacy.

Watch ‘Our Daily Dose’

Under New Study, George Washington Could Be ‘Right-Wing Terrorist’

From Observer:

“Far-right” terrorism is a vastly bigger threat than the jihadist variety, claims a recent study. Yet under its methodology, founders George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could be considered “terrorists.” Moreover, researchers included in the right-wing-acts category a black nationalist; a rampaging, mentally ill young man distraught over romantic failures; and a Colin Kaepernick supporter who describes himself as a “hard socialist.”

Conducted by The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), the research was disseminated uncritically by media last week with claims such as “Most Terrorists in the U.S. Are Right Wing, Not Muslim.” Yet digging into the study’s data paints a far different picture.

The CIR cites 201 incidents “sorted broadly as Islamist, right wing ... and left wing” during “a nine-year period, from 2008 through 2016.” After closely examining the organization’s interactive “terrorism incidents” map, I found 193. The CIR breaks its figure down into 115 rightist incidents, 63 jihadist ones and 19 leftist ones (adding up to 197, not 201, and perhaps reflecting the researchers’ sloppiness). My numbers are, with a margin-of-error of +/-2: 108 rightist, 58 jihadist, 24 leftist and three with indeterminate ideology.

CNN Producer: American Voters Are "Stupid as S**t"

Another Project Veritas video exposing CNN’s lack of journalistic integrity was released Friday. The video shows Jimmy Carr, Associate Producer for CNN’s New Day, admitting that CNN has a left-leaning bias and hates President Trump. He also says that American voters are “stupid as s**t.” Furthermore the video shows that CNN practices selective editing to promote a false narrative.

The video opens with a hidden camera video of Jimmy Carr saying of his coworkers at CNN and their attitude toward President Trump, “We all realize that he [Trump] is a clown, that he is hilariously unqualified for this he’s really bad at this and that he does not have America’s best interests. We realize he’s just f*****g crazy.”

Two points stand out from this. The first is that Carr claims that this is not just his opinion, but that of nearly everyone he knows at CNN. Later in the video, he says it’s about 90 percent. Secondly, if Trump really is “hilariously unqualified” to be president, to what degree does that reflect on the intellect of those who voted for him? The undercover Project Veritas journalist asks, Carr about that, “Would it be fair to question the intellect of the American voter?” Carr’s reply is, “Oh, no. They’re stupid as s**t.”

Liberals — who pride themselves on diversity and accepting a plurality of ideas — always seem to get tripped up here. Carr — and, according to him, his coworkers — think that Trump is “f*****g crazy” and American voters are “stupid as s**t” for disagreeing with the liberal bias of CNN. Carr says, “We all realize ... he doesn’t have Americas best interests” and then goes on to accuse American voters of having the IQ of fecal matter. One is left to wonder whether Carr and his CNN comrades feel the need to save America from these “stupid” voters.

Carr also echoed what CNN Producer John Bonifield said on hidden camera: The false narrative is fueled by ratings. When asked why CNN is “constantly, like Russia this, Russia that?” Bonifield said, “Because it’s ratings,” adding, “Our ratings are incredible right now.” In his hidden camera appearance, Carr said, “It’s decisions made by people higher than me and they go, ‘Wow, your ratings are soaring right now. Keep up what you’re doing.’ Well what we’re doing is Russia, ISIS, London terror, shooting in Chicago. That’s it.”

When asked about whether CNN is impartial, Carr shrugged and said, “In theory.”

This, of course, evinces a pattern. A theoretically impartial (but actually biased) media outlet, driven by a quest for ratings and a hatred of President Trump and his policies, creates and feeds a false narrative about the president. Much of that false narrative includes claims that the president is in collusion with Russia and is part of a plot to have America ruled from the Kremlin. Since that media outlet thinks the president is “f*****g crazy” and American voters are “stupid as s**t,” all bets are off. Lying, manipulating data, making up stories, and editing video and audio to make people seem to say something different from what they actually said are all fair game once journalistic integrity goes out the window. Fake news is as fake news does.

As mentioned previously, Carr is the Associate Producer for CNN’s New Day with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota. Given his attitude toward the president and American voters, it should come as no surprise that his program bears evidence of the practices of deceit. As the video from Project Veritas shows, a segment of New Day from March 30 featured Camerota interviewing a panel of six Trump voters to get their “grades” and “impressions” of the Trump presidency after “sixty-plus days.”

To understand what happened between the filming of that segment and the finished product being aired, it is important to remember CNN’s attitude toward voters — especially those who voted for Trump.

Project Veritas has obtained a copy of the raw audio from that panel interview. It lasts nearly an hour and a half. The edited segment aired by CNN is eight minutes. As Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe says in the newly released video, “What’s striking is not what Carr and his fellow producers chose to include, but what they chose to omit.” The aired segment is a study in lying by omission. One example includes panelist William Baer answering a question about President Trump’s claims of voter fraud. The aired segment is edited to appear the panelist was a conspiracy kook who was unable to answer the question. In reality, the raw audio shows that he gave a complete and reasonable answer about his own first-hand knowledge as a poll watcher in New Jersey where he saw voter fraud including people using other people’s names to vote and not being asked for proof of identification and provisional ballots that are never challenged.

Carr and his coworkers at CNN have perpetrated a litany of lies and passed them off as news. Now, with each new video exposing more and more of those lies, CNN is in very real danger of collapsing under the weight of all those lies and false reports.

No Trump-Comey Tapes

[image: metro.us]Trump earlier accused former FBI director James Comey of lying under oath.

Asked if their conversations were taped, he said he’d explain in “a short period of time,” adding “(y)ou’re going to be very disappointed.”

In mid-May, he tweeted “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

Days earlier, he tweeted “(w)ith all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea…

…whether there are ‘tapes’ or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.”

Separately on Thursday, deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump was “very clear” in tweeting he didn’t make and doesn’t have tapes of his conversations with Comey.

So there’s no way to know if his version of what they discussed or Comey’s is correct – unless Trump lied and/or the former FBI director has recordings of their conversations, perhaps by phone, unlikely in their face-to-face meetings unless he wore a wire.

Few if any presidents recorded Oval Office conversations since the Nixon era. We know how that turned out.

In mid-June, Judicial Watch said it wrote acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, informing him of his legal responsibility under the Federal Records Act to recover memos Comey leaked to The NYT, JD president Tom Fitton, saying:

Comey memos as FBI director “were written on his FBI laptop, and concerned official government business. As such, they indisputably are records subject to the Federal Records Act. 44 U.S.C. §§ 2101-18, 2901-09, 3101-07, and 3301-14.”

“The fact that Mr. Comey removed these memoranda from the FBI upon his departure, apparently for the purpose of subsequently leaking them to the press, confirms the FBI’s failure to retain and properly manage its records in accordance with the Federal Records Act.”

“Even if Mr. Comey no longer has possession of these particular memoranda, as he now claims, some or all of these memoranda may still be in possession of a third party, such as Professor Richman, and must be recovered.”

“Mr. Comey’s removal of these memoranda also suggests that other records may have been removed by Mr. Comey and may remain in his possession or in the possession of others. If so, these records must be recovered by the FBI as well.”

The apparent nonexistent Comey tapes are unrelated to congressional and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of (nonexistent) illegal or improper Trump team dealings with Russia and (nonexistent) Trump obstruction of justice.

His real high crimes are excluded from these investigations because nearly the entire Congress shares guilt, along with earlier presidents – notably the Clintons, Bush/Cheney and Obama.

New York Times Forced To Retract Longstanding '17 Intel Agencies' Lie About Russian Hacking

Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,

“Seventeen intelligence agencies”? - ?if you’ve been following the maniacal #TrumpRussia coverage to any extent, you’ve heard this phrase used uncritically, time and again, regardless of your ideological loyalties. Pundits, papers and rank-and-file establishment loyalists have been unquestioningly regurgitating the nonsensical line that 17 intelligence agencies confirmed Russian interference in the US elections ever since Hillary Clinton made that baseless assertion in a debate back in October.

Clinton"s "17 US intelligence agencies" may be the biggest, most immediately disprovable wopper ever intentionally made during a debate.

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 20, 2016

Hillary Clinton"s "17 US intelligence agencies" include:

*Coast Guard
*DEA
*Navel Intelligence
*Department of Energy
*Air Force recon

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 20, 2016

The innate absurdity of the claim was immediately attacked by WikiLeaks and anti-establishment outlets who pointed out that this would necessarily need to involve full investigations from agencies like the Coast Guard, the DEA and the Energy Department in order to be true. Nevertheless, many high-profile pro-establishment outlets like Politifact and USA Today found Clinton’s claims to be 100 percent true on the grounds that James Clapper, then-Director of National Intelligence and notorious Russophobic racist, “speaks on behalf of” all 17 intelligence agencies. To this day Politifact stands by its false claim on the basis of that same spurious assertion.

New Cracks in Russia-gate ‘Assessment’ https://t.co/pEb9Nsdobq Can you say WMD"s in Iraq? Does this look like "17 intelligence agencies? pic.twitter.com/ZJkqTZtMmb

— Laughing Lefty (@laughingliberal) May 23, 2017

It turns out, however, that in addition to Clapper’s office there were only three intelligence agencies involved in that assessment, not 17, and that the conclusions were drawn not by the actual agencies in full, but by a mere two dozen loyalists from those agencies hand-selected by Russophobic eugenicist Clapper himself. The great Robert Parry notes in his Consortium News article about this point, “as any intelligence expert will tell you, if you ‘hand-pick’ the analysts, you are really hand-picking the conclusion. For instance, if the analysts were known to be hard-liners on Russia or supporters of Hillary Clinton, they could be expected to deliver the one-sided report that they did.”

As reported by Parry, we have known about these facts since they emerged from Clapper’s racist face hole on May 8, and they were confirmed by former CIA Director John Brennan on May 23. And yet at a California technology conference on May 31, Hillary Clinton repeated the same lie she’s been spouting since October:

“Seventeen agencies, all in agreement, which I know from my experience as a Senator and Secretary of State, is hard to get. They concluded with high confidence that the Russians ran an extensive information war campaign against my campaign, to influence voters in the election. They did it through paid advertising we think; they did it through false news sites; they did it through these thousand agents; they did it through machine learning, which you know, kept spewing out this stuff over and over again. The algorithms that they developed. So that was the conclusion.”

The “17 intelligence agencies” lie had been completely, thoroughly debunked for weeks, and yet not a soul called Clinton out on her brazen lie within the establishment press. Indeed, establishment pundits like Megyn Kelly continued to repeat the lie, and have continued to do so throughout the month of June.

NYT issues a correction repudiating the "17 intelligence agencies" canard that continues to get endlessly repeated https://t.co/lXDrPTPsHe pic.twitter.com/2gCuqjRBNM

— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) June 29, 2017

All this changed when CNN was sent reeling by a 1–2–3-punch combination ensuing from its horrendously propagandistic Russia coverage, which has seen three of its journalists lose their jobs and sent the network into international disgrace. All of a sudden we are seeing establishment outlets getting a lot more conscientious about what they choose to publish about the Russian Federation, and today we saw none other than the New York Times posting the very first retraction of this long-debunked lie that we have seen in establishment media.

Correction: June 29, 2017

A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election.

The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.

You just know how that went down, too; the retraction tells a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. The article’s author repeated the “17 intelligence agencies” lie without so much as a second thought, because it’s something they’ve been saying for months and getting away with?—?hey, it’s only Russia, right? They’re the Official Bad Guys so we can print whatever we want about them. The Washington Post has been getting away with telling brazen lie after brazen lie about Russia and suffering no consequences for it whatsoever, so we’ve got plenty of wiggle room here. The article passed by the editors for the same reason, but then someone up top received a complaint about the false claim in the article and immediately pulled the author into his office, yelling, “You fool! What’s the matter with you? Are you trying to get us CNNed???”

As I never get tired of reminding the brainwashed consumers of mainstream media, Russiagate is bullshit, and we fucking told you so. The entire thing was sparked off by two dozen agents hand-selected by a racist man with a racist agenda, and only persists because the US deep state wants regime change in Moscow and Damascus. This moronic conspiracy theory has been permitted to march on for far too long, and in the meantime we’ve been goose stepped to the brink of World War 3 as a result of this administration’s idiotic behavior in Syria. That’s where a real resistance needs to happen; not a McResistance to imaginary threats fed to the masses by the lying corporate media, but a real resistance to a very real and tangible threat from actions by the Trump administration and the unelected power establishment with which he is unquestionably aligned in a nation that the United States has no business involving itself in whatsoever.

Come on, America. I know you can snap out of the trance they’ve got you in. I know you’ve got it in you. Slam the brakes on the course they’ve got you on. Protest US involvement in Syria. Don’t let them Iraq you again.

The Mika Brzezinski Facelift Distraction

Donald Trump’s idiotic comment about Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the late master globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski, is dominating social media and news websites.

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year"s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017

On Friday, the Scarborough-Brzezinski duo fired back with an op-ed at The Washington Post, the crown jewel of Operation Mockingbird. They questioned Trump’s mental health and said he mistreats women.

"Trump is not well": "Morning Joe" co-hosts respond to Trump"s attack on Mika Brzezinski https://t.co/YSlonwOsCC pic.twitter.com/dT1JYc59pH

— Business Insider (@businessinsider) June 30, 2017

“The president’s unhealthy obsession with ‘Morning Joe’ does not serve the best interests of either his mental state or the country he runs,” the op-ed said.

Scarborough and Brzezinski might not realize it, but Trump doesn’t run the country. He’s a stand-up guy for the ruling elite, popularly known as the Deep State.

Trump’s tweet about Mika’s facelift and the response by Brzezinski and Scarborough is a huge distraction. It’s grist for a corporate media propaganda mill that feeds on celebrity pablum, politically correct nonsense, and telegraphs propaganda cranked out by the state.

Real stories of portent are ignored or glossed over—endless war, a crumbling economy, the destruction of the middle class, and an encroaching police and surveillance state.
