The Public’s Attention is Diverted from What is Really Happening

The Russian surveillance vessel the Viktor Leonov was reportedly leaving the Caribbean over the weekend bound toward the U.S. East Coast. Florida will be reached by next Friday, and before this, the King’s Bay ballistic missile submarine base in Georgia is also along their projected route. This comes on the heels of what has gone largely unreported by the Mainstream Media. On Friday, 1/19/18, a report from U.S. National News emerged, entitled Submarine off of NJ/DE/MD coasts? US Navy deploys NINE Anti-Submarine Aircraft off East Coast Fearing Sub Missile Launch Against US. Here is an excerpt:

The East Coast of the United States may be subjected to attack by submarine launched missile(s) and the US Navy has scrambled NUMEROUS P-8A POSEIDON anti-submarine aircraft, to repeatedly search coastal waters from New York City to Washington, DC ALL DAY Thursday into Thursday Evening.  According to flight records, at least NINE anti-submarine warfare aircraft were sortied Thursday off the US East Coast, and Flight Records show they were engaged in very active hunting for submarine(s) off the East Coast . . .. well WITHIN the 12-mile territorial limit of the United States.

This article has plenty of photos, and some with the locations of CAP (Civil Air Patrol) enlisted to aid the U.S. Navy with the “shortfall” in radar coverage and area surveillance. The article also gives the disposition of numerous aircraft and shows the locations of monitored Russian submarines. While all of this has been happening, “statesman” Rex Tillerson just came out and declared this at Stanford University on Wed., 1/17/18, as reported by RT News:

The Japanese… have had over a 100 North Korean fishing boats that have drifted into Japanese waters. Two-thirds of the people on those boats have died.”  They [The fishermen] are being sent in the wintertime to fish because there are food shortages. And they are being sent out to fish with inadequate fuel to get back. So, we are getting a lot of evidence that these [sanctions] are really starting to hurt.

Honorable Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Pure statesmanship, pure diplomacy. No: pure extortion. This coming from a country (the U.S.) that wanted to depose Assad for the “brutal human rights violations” against civilians…but when it involves the civilians of a country we want to crush…what are a few hundred starving North Korean fisherman’s lives worth? Hey, the sanctions work! We oust leaders for human rights violations, but our policies and sanctions are “humane,” and “altruistic.” Let them join the IMF and World Bank, become a vassal, then they can shop at Costco. Then: let them eat cake!

North Korea has the resolve to see through any paper-tiger sanctions initiated by a country that is a dying empire backed up by a “toothless” UN. China and Russia have the resolve to be positioning their assets now…prior to the conflict…the war that is forthcoming. It has been reported that the Chinese have moved troops and radiation detectors along their border with North Korea. Just about a week ago, the RAF had to scramble Typhoons to escort Russian bombers conducting practice runs along the Cold War routes that cover the UK.

A very in-depth article came out that reports Russia and China to be skeptical concerning the U.S.’s gold supply. Economics is another form of warfare: should they prove the U.S. to not have on hand the gold reserves it claims to have, or (as it states) that the gold is of inferior quality to that traded by the rest of the world? This may very well be the final kicker to persuade nations to distrust the falling Petrodollar and remove the dollar as the World Currency exchange. Such would establish the positions of gold-backed Rubles and Yuan that also have oil to trade, to further bolster that worth on a global economy. For those who still watch television, enjoy your football and the upcoming Olympics.

But keep this in mind: the powers that be will not rest in their inexorable march toward global government. It would not be the first time that bread and circuses were used to keep the mob entertained…and distracted from the sinister actions and purposes of their leaders and governments. In the meantime, other nations are preparing and positioning their forces, as well as conducting intelligence and surveillance on us…prior to the war that may come anytime.

If the politicians are any indicator of how we’ll fare…the prognosis doesn’t look good. All of it can be avoided with diplomacy, but war is a money-maker, and a game changer for an incumbent whose ratings are flagging. War is their solution. Why? Because they live off our labors and our tax dollars ensure they’ll be safe and sound in their bunkers. Their world: opulent feasts, riches, maintaining power, with armies and unlimited resources…it will remain intact. Ours will not.

Globalism: Destruction of Nations from Without and Within

For this first piece of the New Year, I propose to take two points into consideration for the remainder of the year, and observe how each point is pursued in the march toward global governance.

1. Using a combination of groupthink, social “needs” (in accordance with Maslow’s hierarchy), and contrived crises, the UN is pushing the “tightly-knit” human “community” mantra relentlessly, and


2. Individual nations are becoming more despotic, more tyrannical, and more under the control of the three-tiered “hierarchy” of Oligarchs, politicians, and religious figureheads.

This statement was just released by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his New Year’s message to the world, following in lock-step to item #1 above:

“As we begin 2018, I call for unity. I truly believe we can make our world more safe and secure. We can settle conflicts, overcome hatred and defend shared values. But we can only do that together…. Unity is the path. Our future depends on it.”

The statement was reported in Sputnik News, and Guterres also mentioned the “threats” of nuclear war, global climate change, and the need for unity. For any who have not read or researched the topics, the Agenda 21 biodiversity paradigm is still being championed to take land away from people and place it under the “stewardship” of so-called wise and benevolent governments. Social engineering of cities and new ways to cram the masses of humanity into “stack-and-pack” housing units of 200-300 square feet are being implemented in China and experimented upon in the U.S. and other countries.

The globalists have been using the “immigrant” card to socially engineer countries in Europe, as well as the United States. Britain has experienced an influx of Indian and Pakistani “migrants” for more than half a century.  Continental Europe has been flooded: inundated with “migrants” who are completely different in ethnic and religious perspectives to their “host” nations.

Indeed, they are host nations: In the sense of a “host” that is carrying a foreign organism against its will. The European nations, predominantly Christian and ethnically homogenous to their respective national identities are being subsumed within an avalanche of unchecked migration (termed “immigration”) that is purposed with a devious objective.

The objective is to destroy nationalistic homogeneity from within, and collapse each nation’s borders, language, and culture to make the nations more malleable for global governance.

Regarding item #2, we are seeing another irrepressible wave of action leading toward tyranny: the surveillance nets of each nation tightening inexorably around their citizens. A prime example of this can be found in this article by Aaron Kesel of Activist Post entitled Russia Planning National Biometric Database For Banking Next Year, Expanding Worldwide Trend, released on 12/30/17. Here is an excerpt from that article:

“Russia is to start a biometric database for financial services starting next summer, the Central Bank of Russia said in a statement. The system, although not mandatory, will extend access to banking by letting customers open accounts without having to visit a banking branch. This is all in an effort to “digitize” financial services. The regulator noted that data would only be stored with a person’s consent.  However, what the biometric database will include is worrying to say the least. The biometric database will incorporate images of faces, voice samples and, eventually, irises and fingerprints.”

As you just read, “digitize” is nothing more than a convenient moniker to label the action of placing every transaction under electronic control and scrutiny. The database of biometrics has far more than is needed for any banking transaction. Although only Russia still currently has an “internal passport,” the restrictions for travel internally (that were maintained during the USSR) have been lifted.  None of the countries have an “internal passport.”

But almost all nations have a “national ID card,” and this functions in the same manner minus the “travel restrictions” …for now.

The omnipresent surveillance state is being created in each different nation. This surveillance state is further enabled “voluntarily,” by the citizens with their tracking devices (purposefully and erroneously labeled as cellular telephones/cell phones). This surveillance state is further enabled by the consumers, wading within their products in the stores, at times with the complacency of beeves, at other times (Black Friday) with the rapacity of wolves…these “herds” enable it: never questioning the cameras in every aisle, above every register.

The registers are computers to track inventory and simultaneously record purchases by bar-code down to the individual product number…assigning it to whatever smiling consumer is swiping the card to pay…the whole thing recorded for “benevolent posterity.” Every other ad on the radio is a “community service,” or a “benefit to the community,” type of ad…conditioning the masses for the inevitable acceptance of the velvet-swathed iron collars around their necks…the “cages” made of smart-chips and gizmos such as laptops and cell phones that report…report, mind you…on the subject’s activities and location.

Former General David Petraeus betrayed us…the American people…with his nonchalant “internet of things” pronouncement for the serfs while the Director of the CIA…although he betrayed himself with his own “proclivities” in the end. Edward Snowden gave us a “window” for what was going on within the Puzzle Palace and the intelligence community pertaining to surveillance over Americans.

No matter: the most bitter of all warnings are the ones that go unheeded…and the bitterness is most apparent when it is too late…when the heeded warnings would have reversed the course of things.

Jeff Sessions (why this guy hasn’t been ridden out of D.C. on a rail or been sent to jail is anyone’s guess) just legally (de facto, of course) rescinded provisions protecting citizens from debtor’s prison. You can read the article by Rachel Blevins here: Jeff Sessions Rescinds Legal Doc to Allow Police to Jail People for Being Poor.

One needs not look very far to see the changes being initiated in the United States. Come to Montana and see it firsthand: Canadians are given “carte blanche” entering the United States, as they come to Montana to visit…oh, and buy tax and duty-free cigarettes, cheese, and other products cheaper and more available than they can in their own country…and return there free as a breeze.

But if you’re an American visiting Canada? Prepare for our officials…U.S. officials…to give you the “third degree” before permitting a taxpaying, consumer-subject to depart the Land of the Free.

It’s all about conditioning the masses to accept the “community,” and the “hive” mentality…a march toward socialism and eventually globalism. It is all about destroying the last vestiges of nationalism…a process begun decades ago in the schools and universities. A global government that will not resemble the “benevolent” United Federation of Planets, as in Star Trek, but will rather take after George Orwell’s “1984,” a world where advanced technology will only be utilized to control man and reduce him to a point of omniscient surveillance and slavery, where escape will be impossible.

Controlling the world, next they will cull the herd: especially the generation…all of the generations…who learned to think critically and did not cringe in fear of the government every moment. We are on our way into the New Year, and moving toward a world of global governance, a slave-world that manifests itself more concretely each day.

How The Elite Dominate The World – Part 5: The Endgame Is Complete And Utter Global Domination

Do you want your children and grandchildren to grow up in a global socialist “utopia” in which everything about their lives is micromanaged by bureaucrats working for a worldwide system of government instituted by the elite?  To many of you this may sound like something out of a futuristic science fiction novel, but the truth is that this is exactly where the elite want to take us.  This is their endgame.  Their agenda has been quietly moving forward for decades, and if we don’t take a stand now, future generations of Americans could very well end up living in a dystopian nightmare with none of the liberties or freedoms that we enjoy today.

Bill Clinton’s mentor at Georgetown University, Dr. Carroll Quigley, wrote about this network of elitists in a book entitled Tragedy and Hope…

In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments…my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known…because the American branch of this organisation (sometimes called the “Eastern Establishment”) has played a very significant role in the history of the United States in the last generation.

In other parts in this series, I have discussed the tools that the elite are using to achieve their goals.  In part I, I talked about how debt is used as a tool of enslavement, and in part II I explained how central banking is a system of financial control that literally dominates the entire planet.  Professor Quigley also mentioned this system of financial control in his book…

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.”

Today, a system of interlocking global treaties is slowly but surely merging us into a global economic system.  The World Trade Organization was formed on January 1, 1995, and 164 nations now belong to it.  And every time you hear of a new “free trade agreement” being signed, that is another step toward a one world economy.

Of course economics is just one element of their overall plan.  Ultimately the goal is to erode national sovereignty almost completely and to merge the nations of the world into a single unified system of global governance.

The United Nations is the apex of this planned structure, and the globalists are always looking for ways to transfer more power to this institution.  For example, that is what the Paris Climate Accord was all about.  Since the climate affects everyone, it gives the globalists a perfect excuse to argue that the world needs to “work together”.  The following comes from the official UN website…

To address climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement at the COP21 in Paris on 12 December 2015. The Agreement entered into force less than a year later. In the agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and given the grave risks, to strive for 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Implementation of the Paris Agreement is essential for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and provides a roadmap for climate actions that will reduce emissions and build climate resilience.

“Protecting the environment” sounds like a reasonable goal, right?

Well, when you click on the link for the “Sustainable Development Goals”, it sends you to a website where you can read about the 17 pillars of the plan to “end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all” that were agreed to by all of the members of the UN in September 2015.

This plan is also known as “Agenda 2030”, and when you dig into the details of this plan you quickly realize that it is literally a blueprint for global government.

Sadly, most Americans don’t realize this, and neither do they understand that this has been the goal of the elite for a very long time.  For instance, during an address to the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1992, President George H.W. Bush made the following statement…

It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance.

Say what?

Once you start looking into these things, you will see that the elite are very openly telling us what they intend to do.

One of my favorite examples of this phenomenon is a quote from David Rockefeller’s book entitled Memoirs…

Some even believe we are a part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it.

As David Rockefeller openly admitted, they are “internationalists” that are intent on establishing a one world system.

Candidates for Congress are not supposed to talk about this stuff, but if I am electedI am promising to fight the globalists on every front.

We are literally in a battle for the future of our children and our grandchildren.  If the globalists have their way, American sovereignty will continue to erode and the United States will slowly but surely be merged into a one world system.

But that isn’t going to happen on our watch.  Those of us that love liberty and freedom are going to take this country back, and we will never stop fighting the insidious agenda of the globalists.

Here Are The Latest Updates On Trump's Refugee Ban

Less than 48 hours after announcing his executive order on refugees, global opposition to Trump intensified on Sunday as world leaders, US (mostly tech) companies and civil rights groups condemned the move to temporarily limit entry from predominantly Muslim countries.

Here are the latest updates in the ongoing saga as of noon on Sunday:

• Global government lash out at order. Governments from London and Berlin to Jakarta and Tehran spoke out against Trump"s order. A spokesman for the U.K."s Theresa May, who visited Trump on Friday and hadn"t commented during the day yesterday, told the AP May does "not agree" with the order. Canada PM Trudeau, in a tweet, said on Saturday Canada would welcome those fleeing “persecution, terror and war. Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith.” Scotland"s Nicola Sturgeon endorsed Trudea"s tweet. A similar message was sent by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who said refugees deserve a safe haven regardless of their background or religion. Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen said the decision was unfair.  Germany pledged to play a bigger role on the international stage.


• US tech companies "do not support:" Netflix Inc.’s chief executive officer said the changes were “un-American”; Alphabet Inc.’s Google advised staff who may be impacted by the order to return to the U.S. immediately; commeting on the order, Apple"s Tim Cook said "It is not a policy we support"


• Lyft donates $1 million to ACLU. In an email from Lyft to users, the company noted that the executive order is “antithetical to both Lyft’s and our nation’s core values. We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community.” The release went on to note that the company pledged to donate “$1,000,000 over the next four years to the ACLU to defend our constitution.”


• Uber slammed. Lyft’s response to the protests contrasted to that of its rival, Uber. While Uber’s CEO Travis Kalanick pledged to compensate drivers stranded overseas due to the executive order, he did not specifically condemn the executive order.  The company was criticized for the tone-deaf response from its CEO, prompting a new hashtag on Twitter: #DeleteUber.


• Trump refuses to relent. Despite the global criticism, Trump was steadfast as of Sunday morning, tweeting twice on the topic, first saying that "our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!"  following it up with "Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!"

Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!

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

Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!

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

• Federal Judge issues nationwide stay, partially blocking the Trump immigration order. A Brooklyn judge temporarily blocked Trump’s administration late Saturday from enforcing portions of his order, however neither ruling strikes down the executive order, which will now be subject to court hearings.


• Another ruling: A Boston judge ruled to release two Iranian professors from Logan International Airport, according to the Boston Globe. The decision also stated that travelers could not be removed OR detained for 7 days.


• White House comments on judge"s ruling: "Nothing in the Brooklyn judge"s order in anyway impedes or prevents the implementation of the president"s executive order which remains in full, complete and total effect," White House adviser Stephen Miller told reporters.


• White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus "we apologize for nothing": Priebus told "Meet the Press" the situation yesterday "wasn"t chaos." He appeared to contradict an official clarification by the White House, when he said on Sunday green-card holders won"t be impacted by the order going forward, but could face additional screening at CBP "discretion." Other countries could be added to order.


• DHS continues to enforce the travel ban. Despite the ruling, the DHS vowed early on Sunday to continue implementing the order, stating it will "enforce all of the president’s executive orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people." It added that "President Trump"s Executive Orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety."


• The initial statistics: A DHS official told CNN that there were 109 travelers barred from entry to the U.S. when Trump signed the order. It was unclear how many were deported vs. detained.


• Opening for democrats: As Axios points out, after spending nearly two months back on their heels. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey showed up at Dulles airport, then tweeted last night: “I am driving North now from Virginia. I will check in on things at Newark airport tomorrow." Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe held a press conference on a concourse at Dulles, calling the order “antithetical to the values that make America great. It will not make our country safer." @HillaryClinton tweeted: “I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight defending our values & our Constitution. This is not who we are."


• Republicans revolt: As Axios also notes so far 10 GOPers have announced opposition to or questioned Trump"s executive order. These include Sen. John McCain; Rep. Carlos Curbelo; Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen; Rep. Charlie Dent; Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick; Rep. Justin Amash; Rep. Barbara Comstock; Sen. Susan Collins; Sen. Jeff Flake; Sen. Ben Sasse.
