Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Senator reveals true U.S. Shadow Government is in charge, not your “elected” officials! Invokes Idaho’s Frank Church!

“Now you may be a republican, or a democrat, or a libertarian I’m not here to tell you what to be. I am here to tell you though that your rights, especially your right to privacy, is under assault.
I’m here to tell you that if you own a cell phone you’re under surveillance! I’m here to tell you that the NSA believes that equal protection means that Americans can be spied upon equally, including Congress. Instead of equal protection, to them it’s equal disdain.
They don’t care if your white, or black or brown, they care only that everyone must submit to the state.
……Senator Sanders…….he asked the NSA ‘Are you collecting records on Congress?’…..They said ‘Congress is getting the same treatment everybody else is.’……Digest exactly what that means. If Congress is spied upon without their permission, who exactly is in charge of your government?
Last week….we learned that the CIA is illegally searching the computers of the Senate Intelligence Committee! They’re the ones supposed to be overseeing the CIA!……if the CIA is spying on Congress who exactly can, or will, stop them?
……I perceive fear of the intelligence community that’s drunk with power!………who is truly in charge of our government?
……The NSA uses an automated system called ‘Turbine’. They’ve hacked into millions of computers, the NSA as even posed as a fake Facebook server……..to infect computers.
….Your government stores your email so it can access it without a warrant. Your government claims the right to look at your every purchase online. Your government actually claims none of your records are protected by the 4th Amendment……
.…..your government is interested in what you’re reading, they’re interested in what you’re saying on your phone calls, they’re interested in what you write in your email…….they say the 4th amendment doesn’t protect any of these records.
The NSA is collecting the records of every American………For over a year before Snowden’s revelations, Wyden [Senator from Oregon] expressed concern that the government was acting outside the law……..Clapper [intelligence boss] comes to Congress and lies. This is a felony punishable for up to fives years, but you hear nobody talking about it!…..
…..Their only regret was that the program was no longer secret…….They’re only sorry they got caught!
…..they don’t believe any of your records have any 4th Amendment protection…..from your [online/credit card] bill the government can tell whether you drink, whether you smoke, whether you gamble, what books you read, what magazines you read, whether you see a psychiatrist, what medications you take…….
James Clapper proposed that it was OK to lie to Congress, and the American people, in the name of security.
…..lying to Congress is still a crime……..it’s harder and harder to believe them when they don’t tell the truth when they testify.
Who knows what to believe anymore?……we must limit government power.
As Americans we don’t deserve ‘the least untruthful way’ from the people we pay for, who work for us! We have a right to the truth…….we demand the truth from our officials!
…….The 4th Amendment is very clear. Warrants must be issued by a judge, warrants must be specific to the individual….and a single warrant for a million Americans’ phone records hardly sounds specific to the individual. Warrants are supposed to be based on evidence or probable cause.
……The President claims ‘Well the NSA program it’s been approved by 15 judges.’ Yeah right! 15 judges most of them ruling in secret, where nobody had a lawyer on both sides….The FISA court is a court where the defendant gets no attorney. The debate is shrouded in secrecy. In the FISA court the NSA can say whatever they want and they are not cross examined. A secret court is not a real court……demand an end to secret courts.
…….I will push for a select committee, styled after the Church Committee that investigated the abuse of power by the intelligence committee in the ’70s……..it should watch the watchers.”
-U.S. Senator Rand Paul, University of California Berkeley speech, 19 March 2014
No True Economic Recovery: Renowned Economist says this is totally the Banks’ fault, nothing can be done by governments, working class been paying for it, it’s called Deleveraging and it’s a sign we’re in a “Terminal Downturn”!
Steve Keen is Professor of Economics & Finance at the University of Western Sydney, Australia. He was named by Forbes as the most accurate economic forecaster in this economic disaster. He received the Revere Award from the Real World Economics Review, also for his accurate predictions. He wrote the book Debunking Economics.
Now in a recent interview with former Wall Street broker, Timothy Maxwell “Max” Keiser, Keen says there is nothing governments can do to save the economy, because it is actually an inherent part of the banking system’s sinister operations!
No amount of tax increases, or government spending cuts (austerity), or government spending increases (Keynesian spending), or even corporate bailouts will help save the economy. It’s called deleveraging: “The reason it hasn’t worked….this is massive deleveraging. The private sector has borrowed its way into enormous levels of debt over about 40, 50 year period….from owing about half a year’s GDP as the debt level in the 1950s to [owing] three years GDP now!”
I’ve already written about the IMF’s order to continue deleveraging of households (that’s you and me), Keen is saying this is part and parcel of the too big to fail banks policies.
Deleveraging (retracting credit) means the banks try to get rid of their debts. Those debts include the mortgages and credit cards they’ve issued to the general public.
They deleverage households by calling in your chips, saying pay up now. It doesn’t matter if you’re credit rating is good or not. Many of the foreclosures involved people who had never missed payments, even people who had paid off their homes! And deleveraging attacks corporations as well.
A recent case of deleveraging, involving a major corporation, was the shut down of Air Australia. The airline was shut down when it’s creditors (too big to fail banks) refused to leverage (issue credit) for Air Australia’s fuel purchases.
Steve Keen says the too big to fail banks are now deleveraging everyone because the too big to fail banks became addicted to debt themselves! This goes back to the 1980s, and includes personalities like Alan Greenspan and Mitt Romney.
Keen says it’s the vulture capitalist mentality that is destroying the country: “…capitalists in euphoric states, and certainly finance capitalists…they borrow money, they gamble on asset prices, they’ll cause a bubble…of course the borrowing is badly thought out, projects don’t work, they’re ponzi schemes in many ways to begin with…you go through periods of ratcheting up levels of debt, until you get to the point that there’s so much debt the system simply can’t cope with it and you go into a terminal downturn, and that’s where we are right now.”
The 1980s saw the beginning of the trend of vulture capitalists, like Mitt Romney, using leverage (loans) to take over companies, carve them up and sell them off. Not only did it make big money for people like Mitt Romney (while causing millions of U.S. workers to lose their jobs between the 1980s and now) it made big money for the too big to fail banks.
In steps Alan Greenspan. The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the U.S. It actually makes money off issuing loans to the too big to fail banks. So, it is in the interest of the Federal Reserve to keep this game going. It’s not about jobs at all, it’s about making money purely through loans.
Presidential candidate Ron Paul is correct about the Federal Reserve being part of the problem, because Keen says Greenspan is responsible for what is about to become the biggest depression ever: “…Alan Greenspan turned what would have been a garden variety small depression, back in 1987, into the biggest depression in human history by rescuing the financial industry from each of its mistakes. Which simply meant that it [finance industry] would go looking for another social class to lend money to, expanding the level of debt…If the central banks hadn’t been trying to rescue us from each of the individual financial crisis we would’ve had a minor depression…we’re now in for the biggest of all time…now we’re dealing with the biggest financial crisis ever, and we can certainly blame the central banks for the scale of it.”
Keen also discovered, while working through his mathematical models, that when the shit hits the fan it’s not the banks and vulture capitalists who pay for the debt they themselves created, it’s the working class: “…So, as the level of debt rose, it wasn’t the capitalists who paid for it, even though they were the ones doing the borrowing, it was the workers in terms of their income share…the ones who are now paying for it through austerity actually are the ones who’ve been paying for it through a lower share of income, not the capitalists….”
Here’s what Keen had to say about the too big to fail banks: “Having a large financial sector is a sign of a sick economy.” Because banks represent finance capital and “…finance capital doesn’t make money!” Keen explained that banks are there to help true industries operate, and make money the old fashioned way, by earning it through providing products or services. In other words you should not have too big to fail banks making up the majority of your country’s GDP, which is in fact what’s happening in the U.S.
Towards the end of Keen’s interview with Max Keiser, he predicted that Australia’s economy will begin to crash within six to 12 months, and he thinks the Australian government will attempt the same pro-bank, anti-worker, rescue policies as that of the United States. Keen calls the U.S. policy “…rescuing the parasite [banks, Romney style capitalists, etc] rather than rescuing the host [true industries, working class].”
In the early 1990s Keen came up with an economic model that takes into account vulture capitalist debt financing. He used mathematical chaos theory to prove what film maker Oliver Stone tried to warn about in his movie Wall Street: Mitt Romney style capitalism doesn’t work, and doesn’t create more jobs in the long run. Back in 1993 Keen warned that any apparent tranquility caused by the out of control crony capitalist debt financing was actually “…the lull before the storm.”

Ron Paul says the United States becoming the Italo-Fascist state of the 21st Century, would make Mussolini proud. Paul gains yet another victory.
“We’ve slipped away from a true republic. Now we’re slipping into a fascist system where it’s a combination of government, big business and authoritarian rule, and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen.”-Ron Paul, congressman from Texas
While speaking in Kansas City, Missouri, Ron Paul renewed a warning issued by President Dwight Eisenhower, who said “This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. ” Eisenhower’s 1961 speech warned about Italo-style Fascism taking over all aspects of U.S. civilization (you should read the prophetic speech).
Also, while attending a rally in Boise, Idaho, on February 18, Ron Paul won a county caucus, in Maine. Washington County, Maine, selected Paul over Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. The caucus had been delayed by weather.
But Ron Paul is actually winning big despite being ignored by the main stream media. Paul has gained more delegates than Romney or Santorum: “The bottom line is who is going to get the delegates and we think we’re doing pretty good, and it seems like our momentum is picking up. I’m actually shocked at the tremendous turnouts that we’ve had. We’ve been out on the road and we’ve had eight functions here in the last three days. We’ve had 14,000 people turn out. And the enthusiasm seems to be growing.”-Ron Paul on State of the Union with Candy Crowley.
White Horse & World War 3: U.S. imposes sanction after sanction against Iran, Acts of War
I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
February 6, 2012, Nobel Peace prize winner, U.S. President Barack Obama, has issued an executive order blocking all Iranian government assets held in U.S. banks. An executive order means he did this without involving Congress.
This move follows additional sanctions made in January, which effectively cut off Iran’s private banking sector from doing business with the West.
The sanctioning of Iran’s banks come after it was clear that oil embargoes won’t work, since Iran is itself working on a bill to end oil shipments to Europe.
If you study military science you’ll realize that sanctions are indeed acts of war (it’s what caused the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor): “When you put on strong sanctions, those are acts of war.”-Ron Paul, Texas Republican
White Horse, Black Horse & World War 3: Western oil embargoes not about Iran’s nuclear industry, or controling the oil itself, it’s all about controling the international oil market (the Beast). We the People are the losers, the Global Oil Industry is the winner.
I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
…there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
In 1971 U.S. President Richard Nixon (a Republican Christian) stopped using gold to back up the value of the U.S. dollar. This was because the rest of the world figured out a way around the global domination of the gold backed U.S. dollar, by buying up U.S. gold. It was causing problems for the U.S. domestic economy.
In 1973 the Arab members of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) embargoed oil to the United States, officially in retaliation of U.S. support for Israel, but more because OPEC wanted to better control the price of oil. You see, after Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, other countries followed suit. The result was that money lost value big time, so much so that OPEC wanted to take gold for oil, instead of cash.
Nixon to the rescue, again. In back room meetings, literally, the Nixon administration made a deal with Saudi Arabia: They could have more say in the price of oil if buyers were forced to use the U.S. dollar (now you know why we’re in the pockets of the Saudis).
…and that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
This is where the term petrodollars comes from. The deal involves the New York Mercantile Exchange (aka NYMEX, aka Commodities Exchange. Now controlled by CME Group), and London’s International Petroleum Exchange, or IPE (now you know why the British Empire, our mortal enemy, is tied to the United States).
Canada has their own petrodollars, and it might be the real reason their desire to build a pipeline (called Keystone) through the U.S. was recently shot down by President Barack Obama (a Democrat Christian). You see Obama really is a U.S. oil man (forget all that ‘protecting the environment’ BS), and Canada don’t trade their oil for U.S. dollars (they have their own dollar thank you very much). But since Canada is part of the British Empire we don’t go to war with them, yet.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the beast should be killed.
Now for the real reason we invaded Iraq: Saddam Hussein refused to worship the beast. He started taking Euros instead of going through the U.S. dollar controlled NYMEX, or the IPE. Iraq never had a military, or enough allies to counter any military attack by the United States, so we invaded and had him humiliated and hung.
Iraq was never tied to al Qaeda, in fact it was Saddam who kept bin Laden and his types out of Iraq. Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction, that was proven before we invaded, during the invasion and after the invasion.
It wasn’t even about the Iraqi oil itself. Just look at the lack of U.S. oil companies now involved with pumping Iraqi oil. It was all about maintaining U.S. global hegemony through the forced use of U.S. petrodollars.
In 2006, Ron Paul (a true conservative Republican Christian) wrote about how the whole War on Terror was an excuse for the U.S./U.K. petrodollar system (the beast), and its political supporters (including those who think it’s God’s Will that we dominate), to maintain dominance over the world.
Libya: Qaddafi refused to worship the beast. He made deals with the Russians and Chinese, circumventing the U.S. Petrodollar. It had nothing to do with ‘democracy’. Just look at what’s happening their now, and who controls the oil?
Unfortunately for Qaddafi Russia and China didn’t feel backing him up was worth it, so the U.S. and NATO backed up the mercenary armies, who beat a shot Qaddafi to death while they streamed it to the world on their cell phones. This after Qaddafi did everything the British and U.S. wanted him to do, in order to become ‘legitimate’ and have President Bush Jr remove Libya from the rogue nation terrorist list!
Pakistan refuses to worship the beast. The real reason there’s warmonger talk against Pakistan by our officials is because they buy their oil from Iran. It’s not about the War on Terror, after all, the Pakistani army has lost more troops, police and civilians fighting the Taliban than we have!
Syria refuses to worship the beast. They control major oil pipelines running from Iraq and Iran to the Mediterranean. Iranian oil companies operate in Syria. The U.S. supported violence (the Free Syrian Army admits they are supported by the U.S. and Israel) is not about ‘democracy’!
Iran is not only refusing to worship the beast, but is standing up to it. Iran actually has a powerful, self reliant and up to date military. They have powerful allies like Russia and China. They also have created the world’s first oil trading market that takes anything but U.S. dollars for oil. Yes they even barter for their oil. A recent report in the Israeli media says Iran, India and China are about to start trading oil for gold (just like the Saudis wanted to do back in 1973).
The U.S. is walking on egg shells in regards to Iran. So far all the threats from our government are just hot air. Russia and China have made it clear they will support Iran. Russian officials have even said that Syria is the red line the the U.S. must not cross.
Now the U.S. is attempting back room deals with countries like Pakistan and China. Several reports say U.S. officials are trying to get the Pakistanis to give up cheap Iranian natural gas, in exchange for cheap U.S. natural gas. Similar offers are being made to China for natural gas, oil and refined fuel. Not only will such deals benefit the U.S. oil industry, it will help the U.S. dollar because they’ll have to use it to buy our stuff. It’s hoped such deals will also isolate Iran’s oil industry, and destroy their successful oil market.
U.S. petroleum products are now the number one export of the United States. This means controlling the ‘market’ is even more important. Price is everything and what the U.S. is doing will only drive up prices.
It’s clear why the U.S. would embargo Iranian oil; ’cause it will drive up prices, which is what our oil industry puppet leaders want. What about Europe? The EU finally agreed to embargo new oil deals with Iran, but several European oil industry leaders say it will be disastrous for their industry (Note: British Petroleum is exempt from the EU embargo. Remember, most of the British Empire is involved with U.S. petrodollars).
On January 28, Bloomberg media reported that Italy will see at least 70 refineries shut down because of the EU embargo. Iran says it could stop all oil sales to Europe. But this is what the U.S. petrodollar lovers want, because it will drive up prices. The U.S. created International Monetary Fund said there will be an instant 20-30% increase in oil prices. Iranian officials say oil will almost instantly jump to $150 per barrel.
This is a losing situation for us average Joes, but when you think about it, it’s a win-win for the oil industry!
If the U.S. is successful in destroying Iran’s independent oil market, then there is a list of other countries who could be next. Cuba, they have oil and they don’t take U.S. dollars (why you think Romney and Gingrich, both claim to be Christians, said they would bomb Cuba if they became President?). Venezuela don’t take U.S. dollars, why you think we tried to kill Hugo Chavez? Ecuador; did you even know there’s been attempted U.S. supported rebellions there? China, they’ve been making oil for infrastructure improvement deals that allow them to get around the petrodollar beast.
By the way if you research who attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, you’ll see it did not involve anyone from Afghanistan or Iraq. It involved mainly people from the Arabian Peninsula (and one person from Egypt, one person from Lebanon), not one Iraqi, not one Afghan. The bin Laden family is from the Arabian Peninsula, not Iraq, not Afghanistan! The October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole was done by people from the Arabian Peninsula (it actually took place on the Arabian Peninsula). Yet, a Federal judge, under the Bush Jr administration, ruled that the African country Sudan was to blame!
It’s obvious that those who’ve been attacking the United States are from the Arab Peninsula (mainly Saudi Arabia), yet we don’t dare attack them. Why? Because they’re part of the petrodollar beast that was created back in 1973!!!
Media Favoritism & Incompetence: CNN caught doctoring their interview with Ron Paul. Intentionally brow beat him, regardless of his answers, inorder to discredit him
“I understand. It’s how the system works.”-Ron Paul, as he walks off interview, letting CNN’s Gloria Borger know that he’s figured out CNN’s anti-Ron Paul agenda
CNN recently aired an interview with Ron Paul, in which they claim he stormed off after getting upset about their questions. However, the unedited interview made it on the internet and shows that CNN was deliberately trying to upset him.
Wolf Blitzer sets up the manipulated interview by confirming with CNN’s chief political analyst, Gloria Borger, that Ron Paul has been contentious towards their questions.
But even in the edited interview you can hear Ron Paul trying to make the point that’s he’s answered the very same CNN questions before, in fact for years they’ve asked him the same questions. See it here.
Blitzer and Borger then continue their banter by accusing Paul of running “negative” ads, never mind that Mitt Romney has run the most negative ads so far.
They go back to the interview, where Paul explains that he’s simply showing the track record of Newt Gingrich, and doesn’t consider that negative. Paul actually criticizes CNN because the media should have been revealing to the public the behavior of politicians!
The unedited interview shows that Paul did his best to answer their questions. It’s clear that the interviewer, Borger, has a personal agenda, and Ron Paul finally figures it out and cuts the interview short, storming off. See it, and the whole eight and a half minute interview, here.
The look on Borger’s face is interesting, as Ron Paul leaves. Almost like someone who’s successfully accomplished a covert mission.
NAZI-land & the United Police States of America: Obama signs National Defense Act, now U.S. military can be used as police forces within the U.S., you could go to prison for life just for being suspected of being a terrorist, all in the name of National Security
“If you’re an American citizen and you want to help…destroy your own country, here is what’s coming your way.”- Lindsey Graham, U.S. Senator from South Carolina
January 1, 2012, welcome to the new NAZI-land: The United Police States of America! On December 31, President Barack Obama (the BS Peace Prize winner) quietly signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.
“This is a giant step, this should be the biggest news going right now, literally legalizing martial law…This is big. This step where they can literally arrest American citizens and put them away without trial….is arrogant and bold and dangerous.”–Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas
The 2012 Defense Act gives the President of the U.S. (regardless of who is President) the authority to use active duty military forces to police the United States, in the name of fulfilling the September 18, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force law. That law, signed by former President Bush Jr, was essentially a Congressional order given to the office of the President to conduct a War on Terror, after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
So, this new Defense Act not only provides the Defense Department with more than $600 billion in taxpayer dollars, but it expands the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force law to inside the United States.
It would “…permit the federal government to indefinitely detain American citizens on American soil, without charge or trial, at the discretion of the President.”-Justin Amash, U.S. Representative from Michigan, one of five House Republicans who voted against the bill
It allows the government to imprison anyone that is suspected of being a terrorist, indefinitely, without being charged or tried in a court of law! The clause in the new law is the old fail safe for control freak elitists who run this country: “National Security”.
President Obama (a graduate of Harvard Law School) claims he will not use the new law in an arbitrary way: “…I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.”
Happy New Year!
Ron Paul already number one favorite in Iowa, establishment trying to down play it saying only “second and third place” winners count!
“The establishment has gone all out to virtually sabotage the credibility of the primary weeks before it even takes place, terrified that a Ron Paul success could upset the apple cart of the two RINO [Republican In Name Only] establishment candidates.”-Paul Joseph Watson, infowars.com
In state polling, ahead of the upcoming Iowa caucus, Ron Paul is the overall favorite, yet the establishment is trying to downplay it by saying only runner ups matter: “People are going to look at who comes in second and who comes in third. If Romney comes in a strong second, it definitely helps him going into New Hampshire and the other states.”-Terry Branstad, Governor of Iowa
Even Fox News’s Chris Wallace said “…I think most of the Republican establishment thinks he is not going to end up as the [Presidential] nominee. So, therefore, Iowa won’t count…”
Obviously Ron Paul is scaring the crap out of the Republican establishment, who have proven themselves not to be the Constitution loving conservatives they profess to be. It also proves, again, that the mainstream media is not controlled by liberals, but by hypocritical right wing neo-conservatives!
NAZI-land & United Police States of America: Congress passes final version of National Defense Authorization Act. Obama says he approves
“This is a giant step, this should be the biggest news going right now, literally legalizing martial law…This is big. This step where they can literally arrest American citizens and put them away without trial….is arrogant and bold and dangerous.”–Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas
On the evening of December 14, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the final version of the controversial National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2012. It passed with 283 representatives voting for, and 136 against. It will cost U.S. taxpayers $662 billion!
Officials claim they changed some provisions regarding the use of the military as police within the United States, and the detention of U.S. citizens, but still included a loophole for the President to do so by using “national security” as an excuse!
President Obama’s advisers say they’re fine with that: “…language does not challenge or constrain the president’s ability to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists, and protect the American people, and the president’s senior advisors will not recommend a veto.”–Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary
The bill also continues huge spending on operations in Iraq, even though the U.S. is officially getting out of Iraq. Many of the U.S. forces leaving Iraq are still being based in the Middle East, like in Kuwait. Also, most military troops in Iraq will be replaced by mercenaries, I mean private security contractors. Did you know the murderous security contractor formerly known as Blackwater, formerly known as Xe Services, and now known as Academi, is about to get a big chunk of that money to continue operations in Iraq?
The spending bill shows that the United States, under Obama, has no intention of reducing military operations that drain precious tax dollars with no return on investment for the average person in the U.S.!
“Those troops stationed overseas aggravate our enemies, motivate our enemies. I think it’s a danger to our national defense, and we could save a lot of money cutting out the military expenditures that contribute nothing to our defense.”-Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas
