The coming EBT riots: What will happen when government entitlements stop?

(NaturalNews) EBT cards are modern-day food stamps, except they're electronic. In essence, they are government-issued debit cards that allow recipients to spend taxpayer money for their own groceries. But EBT cards aren't merely good on food staples like beans and rice, they can be spent on processed junk food that promotes diabetes and obesity. That's the "dirty little secret" of the EBT scheme: It encourages low-income Americans to become high-profit customers of the pharmaceutical industry by eating their way to obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

That's why the food industry loves EBT cards, too: Most EBT users are low-education consumers who understand virtually nothing about nutrition. They tend to buy the most nutritionally-depleted processed foods available, and that equates to high-profit foods for the processed food industry. (The highest-profit foods are the ones with the least nutrition, it turns out.)

EBT stands for "Electronic Benefit Transfer," and it means transferring money from the pockets of working taxpayers into the hands of those who, for one reason or another, are either not working at all or are living below the poverty requirements set by the government. This transference is done at gunpoint, essentially, through the enforcement of federal tax collection. EBT benefits have more than doubled during the Obama administration's last four years, creating tens of millions of new dependents who now vote based almost entirely on who gives them the most handouts.

The purchase of vitamins is specifically prohibited by the EBT program. This is done as a way to keep EBT recipients sick and diseased while suffering from nutritional deficiencies, which is precisely what the federal government wants.

EBT cards are also a form of corporate welfare

EBT cards create high-profit handouts to corporations, too: Pharmaceutical companies and the sick-care industry; Big Government which gets re-elected based on entitlement handouts; global banks which earn a percentage off every swipe; and even the processed junk food industry which preys upon nutritional ignorance of the poor.

In fact, for every dollar's worth of food handed out to EBT recipients under the program, at least 50 cents is driven right into the profit coffers of wealthy corporations. That's why EBT programs are allowed to exist: Not because they benefit the poor, but because they benefit the rich! Do you have any idea how much profit there is in a package of Oreo cookies?

The "EBT culture" of dependence, poverty and ignorance is perhaps best shown in the now-famousYouTube music video "My EBT". There, a rapper brags about how he's using taxpayer money to buy Oreos, chips, sandwiches, breakfast cereals, McDonald's food and more. He sings about how he wishes he could use it to buy weed.

This article, however, isn't about how welfare creates long-term dependence and poverty while destroying the dignity of many who come to depend on it. Rather, it's about what's going to happen when the EBT card system goes down and stays down.

EBT food stamp systems goes down for hours across multiple states

Yesterday, the EBT card system, which is managed by JP Morgan Chase, suffered a six-hour outage across ten states.

Wal-Mart, one of the favorite destinations of EBT card users, proceeded to run transactions manually and then batched them into the JP Morgan Chase processing system once the system came back online. But elsewhere, stores were met with growing frustration from EBT card holders who were angry that their government money cards suddenly stopped working.

In this case, the EBT outage only lasted less than one day. But given that they are tied into a globalist bank which looks almost certain to fail once the global debt collapse unfolds, the question of the day is this: What's going to happen when the bank running all the EBT transactions goes belly up?

What happens when the free EBT money stops?

Remember how Obama supporters threatened to riot in the streets if Romney won the recent presidential election? There's a huge class of Americans who have become so dependent on the system of government handouts that they have no ability to survive any other way. These people will riot when the free money is cut off.

As Ron Paul explained in his recent farewell speech, the entitlements must sooner or later come to an end:

The wealth we see today is based on debt and a foolish willingness on the part of foreigners to take our dollars for goods and services. They then loan them back to us to perpetuate our debt system. It's amazing that it has worked for this long but the impasse in Washington, in solving our problems indicate that many are starting to understand the seriousness of the world -wide debt crisis and the dangers we face. The longer this process continues the harsher the outcome will be.

Many are now acknowledging that a financial crisis looms but few understand it's, in reality, a moral crisis. It's the moral crisis that has allowed our liberties to be undermined and permits the exponential growth of illegal government power. Without a clear understanding of the nature of the crisis it will be difficult to prevent a steady march toward tyranny and the poverty that will accompany it.


EBT card users are almost universally incapable of understanding the complex economics Ron Paul is describing. All they understand is that their next meal comes from a piece of plastic that "counts as money" at the local corner store. They do not grasp the long-term vulnerability of that system and how it is tied into a global debt scheme whose days are numbered. Furthermore, EBT card users almost universally have no backup plan. They live meal by meal, with no financial safety net, no financial planning, and absolutely zero savings. In fact, having any real savings disqualifies you from receiving an EBT card, which is another way that Big Government actually encourages financial dependence among EBT card recipients.

The EBT false flag riots

Why is all this important to understand? Because on the day the EBT cards are shut off, there will be mass riots of EBT card recipients who are suddenly thrust into an emergency.

In fact, shutting off the EBT cards is actually one way to initiate a false flag event in America. It works like this:

1) Purposely shut off all EBT cards. (Takes just two seconds at JP Morgan.)

2) Blame it on a cyber terrorist attack and use the crisis to institute harsh new police state controls over the internet. ("Never let a good crisis go to waste...")

3) Allow the "EBT riots" to unfold. Keep the National Guard away for long enough to let things get out of control and have scary footage broadcast on the evening news.

4) Once things are bad enough, announce Martial Law and bring in the troops to turn America's streets into a Nazi-style police state surveillance and enforcement system, complete with TSA-run checkpoints on all major roads.

What's required to make this happen? Nothing more than turning off the EBT cards for 72 hours. That's it! It's just a single change to a single line of code at JP Morgan Chase, and it's mission accomplished for the globalists.

Yesterday's EBT outage, in fact, may have been a practice run for the real thing. When the globalists want riots to unfold, they now have the tool to make it happen.

Long term: All entitlements will be cut off or made worthless through currency debasement

The question of disappearing entitlements isn't just an EBT card issue, by the way. The coming financial collapse of the U.S. government will end all entitlements, including social security, Medicare and federal workers' retirement pension payments.

That's the real kicker in all this: In a society where 50% or so are now largely dependent on the federal government for their very survival, the fact that the government is headed into a multi-trillion-dollardebt blowout should raise red alerts everywhere.

Obama has put the USA on a collision course with a debt implosion, adding more to the U.S. debt in the last four years than all the Presidents in the history of America -- combined! And with government spending continuing to expand beyond all sanity, there is no stopping the coming debt blowout.

Consider the following U.S. national debt chart:



As you can see from the chart, we are now in a hyperbolic final blowout of debt that can only lead to a total economic implosion. Over the next four years, this chart will get even more insane as Obama spends trillions of dollars of money we don't have, further accelerating America's head-on collision with the financial apocalypse.

When that happens, all federal benefits immediately cease. If you thought the idea of tens of millions of angry EBT debt card users was bad, just consider what happens when all the former federal employees don't get their pension funds anymore. Or if social security checks are eroded down to the point where they are essentially worthless. That's when you're going to see real social unrest across America, and that day is a finite number of weeks away. It will arrive as sure as the sun comes up, and when it does arrive, there's going to be unprecedented chaos in the streets as all the suckers who lived their lives dependent on the federal government suddenly come to find out the whole thing was a Ponzi scheme.

Yep: A Ponzi scheme. The U.S. government is running the largest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world, and just like every Ponzi scheme that has ever existed, it will sooner or later collapse. When that day comes, you will want to make sure you have stored food, water, silver coins, ammo, emergency medicine and all the usual preparedness supplies.

And be prepared to defend your supplies from those who refused to prepare. Because if there's one thing that EBT cards have taught tens of millions of America, it's that "YOUR stuff belongs to THEM!"

Secret 5000 Year Old Flying Machine Discovery with Steve Quayle

Secret 5000 Year Old Flying Machine Discovery with Steve Quayle


Published on Sep 30, 2012
What caused the sudden rush of these most powerful leaders of the Western World to go to Afghanistan, this report continues, was to directly view the discovery by US Military scientists of what is described as a "Vimana" entrapped in a "Time Well"
that has already caused the "disappearance" of at least 8 American Soldiers trying to remove it from the cave it has been hidden in for the past estimated 5,000 years.

Vimana

Vimāna is a word with several meanings ranging from temple or palace to mythological flying machines described in Sanskrit epics.

Reference to ancient Indian flying vehicles comes from ancient Indian sources, many are the well known ancient Indian Epics, and there are literally hundreds of them. Most of them have not even been translated into English yet from the old sanskrit.

It is claimed that a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some sanskrit documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University said recently that the documents contain directions for building interstellar spaceships!

Their method of propulsion, she said, was "anti-gravitational" and was based upon a system analogous to that of "laghima," the unknown power of the ego existing in man's physiological makeup, "a centrifugal force strong enough to counteract all gravitational pull."

According to Hindu Yogis, it is this "laghima" which enables a person to levitate. Dr. Reyna said that on board these machines, which were called "Astras" by the text, the ancient Indians could have sent a detachment of men onto any planet, according to
the document, which is thought to be thousands of years old. The manuscripts were also said to reveal the secret of "antima", "the cap of invisibility" and "garima", "how to become as heavy as a mountain of lead."

Steve Quayle
Stephen Quayle is the author of five books. For over thirty years, he has been investigating ancient civilizations, giants, UFOs and biological warfare as they relate to the future of mankind. Stephen discusses the coming worst-case scenarios approaching this world and how they interrelate to each other. Earthquakes, volcanoes, nuclear and biological terrorism, coupled with the planned financial meltdown of the U.S. dollar will thrust us into unimagined tribulations. Stephen Quayle is on record as stating that we have moved from the realm of natural threats into the arena of supernaturally guided events of the unseen hand of evil orchestrating world events of unfathomable proportions.

International Conference on “9/11 Revisited – Seeking the Truth”
Perdana Global Peace Foundation (PGPF)
Kuala Lumpur, November 2012
Introduction
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 constitute a fundamental landmark in American history, a decisive watershed, a breaking point.
Millions of people have been misled regarding the causes and consequences of 9/11.
September 11 2001 opens up an era of crisis, upheaval and militarization of American society. The post September 11, 2001 era is marked by the outright criminalization of the US State, including its judicial, foreign policy, national security and intelligence apparatus.
9/11 marks the onslaught of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), used as a pretext and a justification by the US and its NATO allies to carry out a “war without borders”, a global war of conquest.
A far-reaching overhaul of US military doctrine was launched in the wake of 9/11.
9/11 was also a stepping stone towards the relentless repeal of civil liberties, the militarization of law enforcement and the inauguration of “Police State USA”.
In assessing the crimes associated with 9/11 in the context of a legal procedure, we must distinguish between those associated with the actual event, namely the loss of life and the destruction of property, from the crimes committed in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 “in the name of 9/11″. The latter build upon the former. We are dealing with two related dimensions of criminality. The crimes committed in the name of 9/11 involving acts of war are far-reaching, resulting in the deaths of millions of people as well as the destruction of entire countries.
The 9/11 event in itself– which becomes symbolic– is used to justify the onslaught of the post 9/11 US-NATO military agenda, under the banner of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), not to mention the ushering in of the Homeland police state and the repeal of civil liberties.
The crimes committed in the name of 9/11 broadly consist in two intimately related processes:
1. The launching of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), used as a pretext and a justification to Wage a War of Conquest. This GWOT mandate was used to justify the 2001 and 2003 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The GWOT mandate has since extended its grip to a large number of countries in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where the US and its NATO allies are intervening selectively under a counterterrorism mandate.
2. The derogation of civil liberties and the instatement of an Orwellian police state apparatus within Western countries. In the US, the introduction of the PATRIOT legislation and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security in the immediate wake of the 9/11 attacks set the stage for the subsequent restructuring of the judicial and law enforcement apparatus, culminating in the legalisation of extrajudicial assassinations under an alleged counter-terrorism mandate.
The 9/11 attacks constitute what is referred to in intelligence parlance to as a “massive casualty producing event” conducive to the deaths of civilians.
The dramatic loss of life on the morning of 9/11 resulting from an initial criminal act is used as a pretext and a justification to wage an all out war of retribution, in the name of 9/11 against the alleged perpetrators of 9/11, namely the “state sponsors of terrorism”, including Afghanistan, Iraq as well as Iran.
We are dealing with a diabolical and criminal project. The civilian deaths resulting from the 911 attacks are an instrument of war propaganda, applied to build a consensus in favor of an outright war of global domination.
The perpetrators of war propaganda are complicit in the conduct of extensive war crimes, in that they readily justify acts of war as counter-terrorism and/or humanitarian operations (R2P) launched to protect civilians. The “Just War” (Jus ad Bellum) concept prevails: The killing of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq are “rightfully” undertaken in retribution for the deaths incurred on 9/11.
Evidence is fabricated to the effect that the “state sponsors of terrorism” had committed, on the morning of 9/11, an outright act of war against the United States.
Realities are turned upside down. The US and its allies are the victims of foreign aggression. America’s crimes of war in Afghanistan and Iraq are committed in the name of 9/11 under a counter terrorism mandate.
The 9/11 attacks are used to harness public opinion into supporting a war without borders. Endless wars of aggression under the humanitarian cloak of “counter-terrorism” are set in motion.
Chronology of Events
At eleven o’clock, on the morning of September 11, the Bush administration had already announced that Al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon. This assertion was made prior to the conduct of an in-depth police investigation.
CIA Director George Tenet stated that same morning that Osama bin Laden had the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.”
Secretary of State Colin Powell called the attacks “an act of war” and President Bush confirmed in an evening televised address to the Nation that he would “make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those [foreign governments] who harbor them”.
Former CIA Director James Woolsey, without mentioning Afghanistan, pointed his finger at “state sponsorship,” implying the complicity of one or more foreign governments. In the words of former National Security Adviser, Lawrence Eagleburger, “I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution.”
That same evening at 9:30 pm, a “War Cabinet” was formed integrated by a select number of top intelligence and military advisors. And at 11:00 pm, at the end of that historic meeting at the White House, the “War on Terrorism” was officially launched.
The war cabinet had decided to launch an an illegal and criminal war on Afghanistan, based on essentially two interrelated concepts:
1. The 9/11 attacks although allegedly conducted by Al Qaeda were upheld as an all out military attack by a foreign power.
2. Afghanistan in allegedly supporting Al Qaeda, was responsible for an act of military aggression directed against the United States of America.
The tragic events of 9/11 provided the required justification to wage war on Afghanistan on “humanitarian grounds”, with the full support of World public opinion and the endorsement of the “international community”. Several prominent “progressive” intellectuals made a case for “retaliation against terrorism”, on moral and ethical grounds. In taking on this stance they provided legitimacy to the conduct of war crimes. The “just cause” military doctrine (jus ad bellum) was accepted and upheld at face value as a legitimate response to 9/11.
In the wake of 9/11, the antiwar movement was completely isolated. The trade unions and civil society organizations had swallowed the media lies and government propaganda. They had accepted a war of retribution against Afghanistan, an impoverished country in Central Asia of 30 million people.
The myth of the “outside enemy” and the threat of “Islamic terrorists” was the cornerstone of the Bush administration’s military doctrine, used as a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention the repeal of civil liberties and constitutional government in America. The post 9/11 era was also characterised by the development of Islamophobia, including routine ethnic profiling directed against Muslims.
Where was Osama bin Laden on September 11, 2001?
Is there any proof to the effect that Osama bin Laden, the bogeyman, coordinated the 9/11 attacks as claimed in the official 9/11 narrative?
According to CBS news (Dan Rather, January 28, 2002), “Enemy Number One” was admitted to the urology ward of a Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi on September 10, 2001, courtesy of America’s indefectible ally Pakistan. Rawalpindi is the Headquarters of the Pakistani military including its intelligence apparatus. He could have been arrested at short notice which would have “saved us a lot of trouble”, but then we would not have had an Osama Legend, which has fed the news chain as well as presidential speeches in the course of the last eleven years.
DAN RATHER. As the United states and its allies in the war on terrorism press the hunt for Osama bin Laden, CBS News has exclusive information tonight about where bin Laden was and what he was doing in the last hours before his followers struck the United States September 11.
This is the result of hard-nosed investigative reporting by a team of CBS news journalists, and by one of the best foreign correspondents in the business, CBS`s Barry Petersen. Here is his report.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BARRY PETERSEN, CBS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Everyone remembers what happened on September 11. Here`s the story of what may have happened the night before. It is a tale as twisted as the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
CBS News has been told that the night before the September 11 terrorist attack, Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. He was getting medical treatment with the support of the very military that days later pledged its backing for the U.S. war on terror in Afghanistan. (transcript of CBS report, seehttp://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CBS203A.html , see alsohttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/01/28/eveningnews/main325887.shtml
CBS News footage of the Rawalpindi, Pakistan, hospital where bin Laden was allegedly treated the day before 9/11. [Source: CBS News]
CBS News footage of the Rawalpindi, Pakistan, hospital where bin Laden was allegedly treated the day before 9/11.
The foregoing CBS report which is of utmost relevance indicates two obvious facts:
1. Osama bin Laden could not reasonably have coordinated the 9/11 attacks from his hospital bed;
2. The hospital was under the jurisdiction of the Pakistani Armed Forces, which has close links to the Pentagon. Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts were known to both the Pakistani and US military.
U.S. military and intelligence advisers based in Rawalpindi. were working closely with their Pakistani counterparts. Again, no attempt was made to arrest America’s best known fugitive. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld claimed, at the time, that the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden were unknown. According to Rumsfeld: “Its like looking for a needle in a stack of hay”.
Recovering from his hospital treatment in Rawalpindi on the 11th of September, how could Osama have coordinated the 9/11 attacks?
How could Afghanistan be made responsible for these attacks by Al Qaeda? Bin Laden is a national of Saudi Arabia who, according to CBS News, was not in Afghanistan, but in Pakistan at the time of the attacks.
September 12, 2001: The Invasion of Afghanistan: NATO’s Doctrine of Collective Security
The immediate response of the US and its NATO allies to the 9/11 attacks was to the declare a war of retribution against Afghanistan on the grounds that the Taliban government was protecting “terror mastermind” Osama bin Laden, who at the time of the attacks was in Pakistan, protected by the Pakistani military and intelligence apparatus. In a bitter irony, the Pakistani government and military, which had facilitated bin Laden’s hospitalization in Rawalpindi on September 10, offered to assist the US in “going after bin Laden”. An agreement to this effect was reached on September 12 in Washington between the head of Pakistan’s military Intelligence (ISI) General Mahmoud Ahmed and Secretary Colin Powell.
Parroting official statements, the Western media mantra on September 12, 2001 had already approved the launching of “punitive actions” directed against civilian targets in Afghanistan. In the words of William Saffire writing in the New York Times: “When we reasonably determine our attackers’ bases and camps, we must pulverize them — minimizing but accepting the risk of collateral damage” — and act overtly or covertly to destabilize terror’s national hosts”.
By allegedly harboring bin Laden, the Afghan government was complicit, according to both the US administration and NATO, for having waged an act of war against the United States.
This decision was taken by the Bush-Cheney war cabinet in the evening of September 11, 2001. It was based on the presumption, “confirmed” by the head of the CIA that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks.
On the following morning, September 12, 2001, NATO’s Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels, endorsed the Bush administration’s declaration of war on Afghanistan (taken by the war cabinet at 11pm on September 11), invoking Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.
Meanwhile, on two occasions in the course of September 2001, the Afghan government –through diplomatic channels– offered to hand over Osama Bin laden to US Justice. These overtures were turned down by president Bush, on the grounds that America “does not negotiate with terrorists”.
The War on Afghanistan: First Stage of the “Global War on Terrorism”
The war on Afghanistan was launched 26 days later on the morning of October 7, 2001. The timing of this war begs the question: how long does it take to plan and implement a major theater war several thousand miles away.
Military analysts will confirm that a major theater war takes months and months, up to a year or more of advanced preparations. Confirmed by press reports, the war on Afghanistan was already in an advanced state of readiness prior to September 11, 2001, which begs the question of foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.
In other words, the 9/11 attacks were used as a means to trigger a military agenda which was already on the drawing board of both the Pentagon and NATO.
The repeal of civil liberties in America was launched in parallel with the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan. Immediately following 9/11, the PATRIOT legislation was adopted. The Homeland Security apparatus was launched, with a view to “protecting Americans against terrorists”. This post-911 legal and institutional framework had been carefully crafted prior to the 9/11 attacks.
Article 5 of the Washington Treaty: NATO’s Legal Argument
In invoking Article 5 on the morning of September 12, 2001, NATO’s Atlantic Council endorsed a criminal military agenda, in derogation of international law.
The legal argument used by Washington and NATO to invade Afghanistan was that the September 11 attacks constituted an undeclared “armed attack” “from abroad” by an unnamed foreign power, and that consequently “the laws of war” apply, allowing the nation under attack, to strike back in the name of “self-defense”.
On the morning of September 12, 2001, NATO’s North Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels, responded to the decision of the War Cabinet taken a few hours earlier at 11pm on 9/11, adopted the following resolution:
“if it is determined that the [September 11, 2001] attack against the United States was directed from abroad [Afghanistan] against “The North Atlantic area“, it shall be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty”. (emphasis added)
In this regard, Article 5 of the Washington Treaty stipulates that if:
“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.” (NATO, What is Article 5, NATO Topics – NATO and the Scourge of Terrorism, accessed 24 November 2009, emphasis added)
An act of war by a foreign nation (Afghanistan) against a member of the Atlantic Alliance (the USA) was considered as an act of war against all members under NATO’s doctrine of collective security.
Under no stretch of the imagination, can the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon be categorized as an act of war by a foreign country. But nobody seemed to have raised this issue.
“Use of Armed Force” only “If It is Determined...”
There was an “if” in the September 12 resolution. Article 5 would apply only if it is determined that Afghanistan as a Nation State was complicit or behind the 9/11 attacks.
In practice, the “if” had already been waived prior to 9/11. The entire NATO arsenal was already on a war footing. In military terms, NATO and the US were already in an advanced state of readiness. Known to military analysts, but never revealed in the Western media, the implementation of a large scale theater war takes at least one year of advanced operational planning, prior to the launching of an invasion.
The use of article 5 of the Washington Treaty had in all likelihood been contemplated by military planners, as a pretext for waging war, prior to 9/11.
There was, however, no official declaration of war on September 12th. The Alliance waited until 3 days before the invasion to declare war on Afghanistan, an impoverished country which by no stretch of the imagination could have launched an attack against a member state of “The North Atlantic area”.
The September 12 resolution of the Atlantic Council required “determination” and corroborating evidence, that:
1) Al Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden with the support of a foreign power had ordered the “attack from abroad” on the United States of America;
2) The terrorist attacks of 9/11 constituted a bona fide military operation (under the provisions of Article 5) by an alleged foreign country (Afghanistan) against a NATO member state, and consequently against all NATO member states under the doctrine of collective security:
“Article 5 and the case of the terrorist attacks against the United States: The United States has been the object of brutal terrorist attacks. It immediately consulted with the other members of the Alliance. The Alliance determined that the US had been the object of an armed attack. The Alliance therefore agreed that if it was determined that this attack was directed from abroad, it would be regarded as covered by Article 5. NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson, subsequently informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the Alliance’s decision.
Article 5 has thus been invoked, but no determination has yet been made whether the attack against the United States was directed from abroad. If such a determination is made, each Ally will then consider what assistance it should provide. In practice, there will be consultations among the Allies. Any collective action by NATO will be decided by the North Atlantic Council. The United States can also carry out independent actions, consistent with its rights and obligations under the UN Charter.
Allies can provide any form of assistance they deem necessary to respond to the situation. This assistance is not necessarily military and depends on the material resources of each country. Each individual member determines how it will contribute and will consult with the other members, bearing in mind that the ultimate aim is to “to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area”.
By invoking Article 5, NATO members have shown their solidarity toward the United States and condemned, in the strongest possible way, the terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 September.
If the conditions are met for the application of Article 5, NATO Allies will decide how to assist the United States. (Many Allies have clearly offered emergency assistance). Each Ally is obliged to assist the United States by taking forward, individually and in concert with other Allies, such action as it deems necessary. This is an individual obligation on each Ally and each Ally is responsible for determining what it deems necessary in these particular circumstances.
No collective action will be taken by NATO until further consultations are held and further decisions are made by the the North Atlantic Council. (NATO, NATO Topics – NATO and the Scourge of Terrorism, accessed 24 November 2009, emphasis added)
The Mysterious Frank Taylor Report
The final decision to invoke Article 5 in relation to the 9/11 attacks came three weeks later upon the submission to the NATO Council of a mysterious classified report by a US State Department official named Frank Taylor. The report was submitted to NATO on October 2nd, 5 days before the commencement of the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan.
Frank Taylor was working in the US State Department. He had been entrusted with the writing of a brief to establish whether the US “had been attacked from abroad”, pursuant to the North Atlantic Council’s resolution of September 12 2001.
US Ambassador at Large and Co-ordinator for Counter-terrorism Frank Taylor briefed the North Atlantic Council on October 2nd, five days before the commencement of the bombings.
On October 2nd he handed his brief to NATO “on the results of investigations into the 11 September attacks... ” NATO – Topic: Terrorism, NATO and the fight against Terrorism, accessed 24 November 2009).
The classified report was not released to the media. And to this date, to our knowledge, it has remained classified.
NATO’s Secretary General Lord Robertson casually summarised the substance of the Frank Taylor report in a press release:
“This morning, the United States briefed the North Atlantic Council on the results of the investigation into who was responsible for the horrific terrorist attacks which took place on September 11.
The briefing was given by Ambassador Frank Taylor, the United States Department of State Coordinator for Counter-terrorism.
This morning’s briefing follows those offered by United States Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and United States Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, and illustrates the commitment of the United States to maintain close cooperation with Allies.
Today’s was classified briefing and so I cannot give you all the details.
Briefings are also being given directly by the United States to the Allies in their capitals.
The briefing addressed the events of September 11 themselves, the results of the investigation so far, what is known about Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaida organisation and their involvement in the attacks and in previous terrorist activity, and the links between al-Qaida and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The facts are clear and compelling. The information presented points conclusively to an al-Qaida role in the September 11 attacks.
We know that the individuals who carried out these attacks were part of the world-wide terrorist network of al-Qaida, headed by Osama bin Laden and his key lieutenants and protected by the Taliban.
On the basis of this briefing, it has now been determined that the attack against the United States on September 11 was directed from abroad and shall therefore be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an armed attack on one or more of the Allies in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.
I want to reiterate that the United States of America can rely on the full support of its 18 NATO Allies in the campaign against terrorism.” (Lord Robertson, NATO Secretary General, statement to the NATO Council, State Department, Appendix H, Multinational Response to September 11 NATO Presshttp://www.state.gov/documents/organization/10313.pdf, accessed 24 November 2009, emphasis added)
In other words, 2 days before the actual commencement of the bombing campaign on October 7, the North Atlantic Council decided, based on the information provided by Frank Taylor to the Council “that the attacks were directed from abroad” by Al Qaeda, headed by Osama bin Laden, thereby requiring an action on the part of NATO under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty ( NATO – Topic: Terrorism, NATO and the fight against Terrorism, accessed 24 November 2009):
NATO action under article 5, was outlined in an October 4 decision, 3 days before the commencement of the bombings.
Two days later, on 4 October, NATO agreed on eight measures in support the United States, which were tantamount to an illegal declaration of war on Afghanistan:
to enhance intelligence sharing and co-operation, both bilaterally and in appropriate NATO bodies, relating to the threats posed by terrorism and the actions to be taken against it;
to provide, individually or collectively, as appropriate and according to their capabilities, [military] assistance to Allies and other states which are or may be subject to increased terrorist threats as a result of their support for the campaign against terrorism;
to take necessary measures to provide increased security for facilities of the United States and other Allies on their territory;
to backfill selected Allied assets in NATO’s area of responsibility that are required to directly support operations against terrorism;
to provide blanket overflight clearances for the United States and other Allies’ aircraft, in accordance with the necessary air traffic arrangements and national procedures, for military flights related to operations against terrorism; to provide access for the United States and other Allies to ports and airfields on the territory of NATO nations for operations against terrorism, including for refuelling, in accordance with national procedures;
that the Alliance is ready to deploy elements of its Standing Naval Forces to the Eastern Mediterranean in order to provide a NATO presence and demonstrate resolve; and that the Alliance is similarly ready to deploy elements of its NATO Airborne Early Warning Force to support operations against terrorism. NATO – Topic: Terrorism, NATO and the fight against Terrorism, accessed 24 November 2009 emphasis added)
Press reports of Frank Taylor’s brief to the NATO Council were scanty. The invocation of Article 5, five days before the bombings commenced, was barely mentioned. The media consensus was: “all roads lead to Bin Laden” as if bin Laden was a Nation State which had attacked America.
What stands out are outright lies and fabrications. Moreover, prior to October 2nd, NATO had no pretext under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty to intervene militarily in Afghanistan.
The pretext was provided by Frank Taylor’s classified report, which was not made public.
The two UN Security Council resolutions adopted in the course of September 2001, did not, under any circumstances, provide a justification for the invasion and illegal occupation of a UN member country of 28 million people. (see Security Council resolution 1368 (2001) Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts, Security Council resolution 1373 (2001) Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts).
UNSC Resolution 1373 (2001) called for prevention and suppression of terrorist acts, as well suppression of the financing of terrorism:
“(e) Ensure that any person who participates in the financing, planning, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts or in supporting terrorist acts is brought to justice and ensure that, in addition to any other measures against them, such terrorist acts are established as serious criminal offences in domestic laws and regulations and that the punishment duly reflects the seriousness of such terrorist acts;
...
“3. Calls upon all States to:
“(a) Find ways of intensifying and accelerating the exchange of operational information, especially regarding actions or movements of terrorist persons or networks; forged or falsified travel documents; traffic in arms, explosives or sensitive materials; use of communications technologies by terrorist groups; and the threat posed by the possession of weapons of mass destruction by terrorist groups;
“(b) Exchange information in accordance with international and domestic law and cooperate on administrative and judicial matters to prevent the commission of terrorist acts;
“(c) Cooperate, particularly through bilateral and multilateral arrangements and agreements, to prevent and suppress terrorist attacks and take action against perpetrators of such acts;
...
“4. Notes with concern the close connection between international terrorism and transnational organized crime, illicit drugs, money-laundering, illegal arms-trafficking, and illegal movement of nuclear, chemical, biological and other potentially deadly materials, and in this regard emphasizes the need to enhance coordination of efforts on national, subregional, regional and international levels in order to strengthen a global response to this serious challenge and threat to international security;
“5. Declares that acts, methods, and practices of terrorism are contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations and that knowingly financing, planning and inciting terrorist acts are also contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations (excerpts of UNSC Resolution 1373 (2001, See also UN Press Release SC 7178 SECURITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTS WIDE-RANGING ANTI-TERRORISM RESOLUTION; CALLS FOR SUPPRESSING FINANCING, IMPROVING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, Security Council, 4385th Meeting, September 2001)
Nowhere in this resolution is there any mention of military action against a UN member State.
The US led war on Afghanistan, using 9/11 as a pretext and a justification is illegal and criminal.
The US and NATO heads of state and heads of government from 2001 to the present are complicit in the launching of a criminal and illegal war.
The Big Lie: Al Qaeda Made in America
Amply documented but rarely mentioned by the mainstream media, Al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA going back to the Soviet- Afghan war. This was a known fact, corroborated by numerous sources including official documents of the US Congress, which the mainstream media chose to either dismiss or ignore. The intelligence community had time and again acknowledged that they had indeed supported Osama bin Laden, but that in the wake of the Cold War: “he turned against us”.
Both the 9/11 Commission Report as well as the Western media have largely upheld the “outside enemy” mythology, heralding Al Qaeda as the “mastermind” organization behind the 9/11 attacks. The official 9/11 narrative has not only distorted the causes underling the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, it has also erased the historical record of US covert support to international terrorism, while creating the illusion that America and “Western Civilization” are threatened.
Without an “outside enemy”, there could be no “Global War on Terrorism”. The entire national security agenda would collapse “like a deck of cards”. The war criminals in high office would have no leg to stand on.
After 9/11, the campaign of media disinformation served not only to drown the truth but also to kill much of the historical evidence on how this illusive Al Qaeda “outside enemy” had been fabricated and transformed into “Enemy Number One”.
This is why a legal procedure directed against the actual perpetrators of 9/11 is absolutely essential.
History of Al Qaeda
Important to the understanding of 9/11, US intelligence is the unspoken architect of “Islamic terrorism” going back to the heyday of the Soviet-Afghan war.
Bin Laden was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerrilla training camp. Education in Afghanistan in the years preceding the Soviet-Afghan war was largely secular. With religious textbooks produced in Nebraska, the number of CIA sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000.
“Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad.” (Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)
”The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings...The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..”, (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)
Under the Reagan administration, US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of the Islamic “freedom fighters”. This endorsement has not in any way been modified.
In a twisted irony, throughout the post 911 era, US intelligence in liaison with Britain’s MI6, an Israel’s Mossad, continues to provide covert support to the radical Islamist organization allegedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Al Qaeda and its various affiliated groups including the Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and factions within the Free Syria Army (FSA) are directly supported by the US and NATO.
In a bitter irony, the US and its allies claim to be waging a “war on terrorism” against the alleged architects of 9/11, while also using Al Qaeda operatives as their foot-soldiers.

Iraq: Alleged State Sponsor of the 9/11 Attacks
The formulation of a war of retribution conducted in the name of 9/11 was not limited to Afghanistan.
In the course of 2002, leading up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, “Osama bin Laden” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction” statements circulated profusely in the news chain. While Washington’s official position was that Saddam Hussein was not behind the 9/11 attacks, insinuations abounded both in presidential speeches as well as in the Western media. According to Bush, in an October 2002 press conference:
The threat comes from Iraq. It arises directly from the Iraqi regime’s own actions — its history of aggression, and its drive toward an arsenal of terror. .,.. We also must never forget the most vivid events of recent history. On September the 11th, 2001, America felt its vulnerability — even to threats that gather on the other side of the earth. We resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat, from any source [Iraq], that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America. President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat, October 7, 2002)
Barely two weeks before the invasion of Iraq, September 11, 2001 was mentioned abundantly by president Bush. In the weeks leading up to the March invasion, 45 percent of Americans believed Saddam Hussein was “personally involved” in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. (See . The impact of Bush linking 9/11 and Iraq / The Christian Science Monitor – CSMonitor.com, March 14, 2003)
Meanwhile, a new terrorist mastermind had emerged: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.
In Colin Powell’s historic address to the United Nations Security Council, in February 2003, detailed “documentation” on a sinister relationship between Saddam Hussein and Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was presented, focussing on his ability to produce deadly chemical, biological and radiological weapons, with the full support and endorsement of the secular Baathist regime. The implication of Colin’s Powell’s assertions, which were totally fabricated, was that Saddam Hussein and an Al Qaeda affiliated organization had joined hands in the production of WMD in Northern Iraq and that the Hussein government was a “state sponsor” of terrorism.
The main thrust of the disinformation campaign continued in the wake of the March 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. It consisted in presenting the Iraqi resistance movement as “terrorists”. The image of “terrorists opposed to democracy” fighting US “peacekeepers” appeared on television screens and news tabloids across the globe.
Iran: Condemned by a New York City Court for Supporting Al Qaeda in the 9/11 Attacks
In the wake of the Iraq invasion, the same alleged “state sponsorship” of terrorism accusations emerged in relation to Iran.
In December 2011, the Islamic Republic of Iran was condemned by a Manhattan court, for its alleged role in supporting Al Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks.
The investigation into Tehran’s alleged role was launched in 2004, pursuant to a recommendation of the 9/11 Commission “regarding an apparent link between Iran, Hezbollah, and the 9/11 hijackers”. The 9/11 Commission’s recommendation was that this “apparent link” required “further investigation by the U.S. government.” (9/11 Commission Report , p. 241). (See Iran 911 Case ).
In the December 2011 court judgment (Havlish v. Iran) “U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels ruled that Iran and Hezbollah materially and directly supported al Qaeda in the September 11, 2001 attacks and are legally responsible for damages to hundreds of family members of 9/11 victims who are plaintiffs in the case”.
According to the plaintiffs attorneys “Iran, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda formed a terror alliance in the early 1990s. Citing their national security and intelligence experts, the attorneys explained “how the pragmatic terror leaders overcame the Sunni-Shi’a divide in order to confront the U.S. (the “Great Satan”) and Israel (the “Lesser Satan”)”. Iran and Hezbollah allegedly provided “training to members of al Qaeda in, among other things, the use of explosives to destroy large buildings.” (See Iran 911 Case ).
This judicial procedure is nothing more than another vicious weapon in the fabricated “War on Terror” to be used against another Muslim country, with a view to destabilizing Iran as well as justifying ongoing military threats. It also says a lot more about the people behind the lawsuit than about the accused. The expert witnesses who testified against Iran are very active in warmongering neocon circles. They belong to a web of architects of the 21st century Middle-Eastern wars, ranging from high profile propagandists to intelligence and military officers, including former U.S. officials.
But what makes this case absurd is that in September 2011, a few months before the judgment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has questioned the official 9/11 narrative, was accused by Al-Qaeda leaders of “spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks”. The semi-official media outlet of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, insisted that al-Qaeda “had been behind the attacks and criticised the Iranian president for discrediting the terrorist group.” (See Julie Levesque, Iran Accused of being behind 9/11 Attacks. U.S. Court Judgment, December 2011 (Havlish v. Iran), Global Research, May 11, 2012)
Al Qaeda: US-NATO Foot-soldiers
Ironically, while Washington accuses Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran of complicity in the 9/11 attacks, the historical record and evidence indelibly point to the “state sponsorship” of Al Qaeda by the CIA, MI6 and their intelligence counterparts in Pakistan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Realities are turned upside down. Al Qaeda death squads have been recruited to wage America’s humanitarian wars throughout the Middle East an d North Africa.
In Syria Al Qaeda units were recruited by NATO and the Turkish High command:
“Also discussed in Brussels and Ankara, our sources report, is a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels.” (http://www.debka.com/article/21255/ Debkafile, August 31, 2011).
In Libya, jihadists from Afghanistan trained by the CIA were dispatched to fight with the “pro-democracy” rebels under the helm of “former” Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) Commander Abdel Hakim Belhadj:
Western policy makers admit that NATO’s operations in Libya have played the primary role in emboldening Al Qaeda’s AQIM faction (Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). The Fortune 500-funded Brookings Institution’s Bruce Riedel in his article, “The New Al Qaeda Menace,” admits that AQIM is now heavily armed thanks to NATO’s intervention in Libya, and that AQIM’s base in Mali, North Africa, serves as a staging ground for terrorist activities across the region. http://www.globalresearch.ca/al-qaeda-and-natos-pan-arab-terrorist-blitzkrieg/
“Crimes against Civilization”
9/11 mythology has been the mainstay of war propaganda, which in itself constitutes a criminal act under international law.
Fiction prevails over reality. For propaganda to be effective, public opinion must firmly endorse the official 9/11 narrative to the effect that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks. A well organized structure of media disinformation is required to reach this objective. Perpetuating the 9/11 Legend also requires defying as well smearing the 9/11 Truth Movement.
Throughout the post 9/11 era, a panoply of Al Qaeda related events and circumstances is presented to public opinion on a daily basis. These include terrorist threats, warnings and attacks, police investigations, insurgencies and counter-insurgencies, country-level regime change, social conflict, sectarian violence, racism, religious divisions, Islamic thought, Western values, etc.
Muslims are presented as the perpetrators of the 9/11, thereby unleashing a Worldwide demonization campaign.
In turn, 9/11, Al Qaeda – War on Terrorism rhetoric permeates political discourse at all levels of government, including bipartisan debate on Capitol Hill, in committees of the House and the Senate, at the British House of Commons, and, lest we forget, at the United Nations Security Council. All these various bodies are complicit in a criminal project.
September 11 and Al Qaeda concepts, repeated ad nauseam have potentially traumatic impacts on the human mind and the ability of normal human beings to analyze and comprehend the “real outside World” of war, politics and the economic crisis.
What is at stake is human consciousness and comprehension based on concepts and facts.
With September 11 there are no verifiable “facts” and “concepts”, because 9/11 as well as Al Qaeda have evolved into a media mythology, a legend, an invented ideological construct, used as an unsubtle tool of war propaganda.
Al Qaeda constitutes a stylized, fake and almost folkloric abstraction of terrorism, which permeates the inner consciousness of millions of people around the World.
Reference to Al Qaeda has become a dogma, a belief, which most people espouse unconditionally. According to the media, “Muslims were behind the attacks”, thereby justifying a war of retribution against Muslim countries.
Racism and Islamophobia are an integral part of war propaganda.
Is this political indoctrination? Is it brain-washing? If so what is the underlying objective?
People’s capacity to independently analyse World events, as well as address causal relationships pertaining to politics and society, is significantly impaired. That is the objective!
The routine use of 9/11 and Al Qaeda to generate blanket explanations of complex political events is meant to create confusion.
It prevents people from thinking. It strikes at the core of human values. In a sense, it destroys civilization.
All of these complex Al Qaeda related occurrences are explained by politicians, the corporate media, Hollywood and the Washington think tanks under a single blanket “bad guys” heading, in which Al Qaeda is casually and repeatedly pinpointed as “the cause” of numerous terror events around the World.
The criminality underlying post 9/11 propaganda is of much broader nature, affecting people’s mindsets, redefining fundamental social, political and institutional relations.
“Crimes against Civilization” have been committed.
9/11 mythology precipitates the World into barbarity.

A Remedy to Restore Our Constitutional Republic

Dear Friends:
If you are reading this letter, it is likely that you are one of the millions of Americans who have realized that the recent election between the two establishment parties will not change anything. We were not offered a legitimate choice. The same people will be in control and they will continue to take us down the current path of destruction - guaranteed. As Ron Paul said in his farewell speech, we are no longer on the cliff of financial ruin. We have left the cliff, are falling, and are in an extremely critical situation.
Despite all of this bad news, we are extremely optimistic. We believe we are in a unique situation where we the people of this planet have the opportunity to free ourselves from ruling elites who have kept most of the world at war and in a state of perpetual servitude for hundreds, if not thousands of years. We are writing to you because we must unify all those who believe in liberty and the extraordinary philosophy that built this great nation. We can no longer afford to be divided. We must unite and we must have a plan.
Based on thorough research, it is clear that our original Republic was effectively replaced in 1871 by a federal municipal corporation called the “United States” This structure was taken to another level in the 1930's. This corporate system now includes all the States, counties, towns and cities. They are all part of one big corporate structure owned by the International Monetary Fund. Do your own research and you will find the truth. We recommend beginning with this article, http://www.barefootsworld.net/const ructive_fraud.html.
There is currently a secessionist movement growing in this country. We are encouraged by this sincere desire to decentralize and restore lost freedoms which have been usurped by a totally out of control federal juggernaut. However it is not necessary to secede from the United States corporation. This entity has no control over any individual who is not in its jurisdiction. So there is no need to secede when you learn how to remove yourself from the jurisdiction of what is posing as our lawful government. The ‘United States’ corporation used fraud to get you to sign documents which placed you in its jurisdiction. A contract entered into through fraud is not valid.
―If man, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.‖ - Samuel Adams, Father of the American Revolution
The process to restore our republic is not going to be as difficult as you might believe. With proper education we can enlighten millions of people very quickly and inspire them to leave the current corrupt structure posing as our government. We can then become involved locally and help create a lawful local, county and state structure. Once we do this the current bankrupt entity will fall away and we will have restored the fundamental principles our country was founded upon. Then we will be ready to enjoy the full blessings of true freedom for many generations to come.
The effort that we are all so diligently pursuing is one that is larger than any citizen, office or organization. We are aware that the millions of people who believe in liberty arrive at their conclusions from many different angles and viewpoints. We must honor and respect these differences and work together. That is the true essence of Liberty: Listening to people contradicting our highly valued opinions while honoring their right to express that opposing opinion--this is liberty.
The restoration of the original Republic appears to be our best and only viable chance to brake the nation’s breakneck gallop toward complete tyranny, and to reverse direction toward individual liberty. Free America Now (FAN – www.FreeAmericaNow.org) was formed about 16 months ago and is committed to help the People to seize the reins of this runaway stage, and provide a leadership role in this effort. We hope you will be inspired to join us in this monumental challenge.
FAN's first effort was helping Sheriff Richard Mack produce the first ever Constitutional Sheriff convention in Las Vegas in January, 2012 (www.CountySheriffProject.org).
That project was an enormous success, with over 115 county sheriffs receiving Bill of Rights training and hearing how other sheriffs successfully stopped unconstitutional intrusions by federal agencies in their counties. FAN continues to work with different organizations that are dedicated to a bottom-up political organizational system, with the individual and the family holding the supreme voice and power within that system.
It is imperative for everyone connected with the various freedom organizations to join together now in a coordinated effort to gain international recognition and the support of established individuals and organizations. Our mission includes providing a structure of stability that will help mitigate the unrest and chaos that will occur when the current economic system collapses around us.
There are other organizations engaged in equally important actions to ensure that a Republic, or Assembly of Sovereign States, emerges when the dust settles from the imminent disruptions to economic stability. It is unknown which organization will be successful in establishing a legitimate internationally recognized entity. FAN is fully aware that such an entity will attract both the necessary national and international support. This support will be necessary to make the transition to freedom and liberty as smooth as possible.
We, as FAN, are currently supporting an organization called the Union
States Project. Their primary website is www.UnionStatesProject.org. Please research their site and join one of their conference calls to learn more. We are attaching a brief message from one of their organizers with this letter.
Your participation in these efforts is not only appreciated, it is absolutely necessary in order for the People to regain control of this country.
It is our sincere conviction that we are being presented with an opportunity that is absolutely extraordinary. Since the 1700's, we have evolved, and now have over 240 years of historical experience with the first and most comprehensive experiment in history to guarantee liberty for all. It certainly was not perfect and has had many flaws, but there never has been a country that offered as much freedom and upward mobility to the masses as the USA.
“The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will
become corrupt, our people careless...From the conclusion
of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be
necessary to resort every moment to the people for support.
They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded.
They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty
of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a
due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore...will
be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or
expire in a convulsion.”
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1781
For the sake of our children and grandchildren, let us take advantage of this current convulsion and use it to realize the dreams of all those who fought and sacrificed for freedom over more than a thousand years, from William Wallace to Patrick Henry to Ron Paul, and our men and women in uniform; let's work together to forge a more perfect society based on freedom and Love.
In the words of Jefferson it is high time that we UNITE TO EFFECT A DUE RESPECT FOR OUR RIGHTS!
Sincerely
from all of us at
Free America Now
freeamericanow.org
Our Plan
1. EDUCATE
2. Work locally to revitalize the jural societies and grand juries in every county.
3. Establish dejeur state governments with a strong and comprehensive bill of rights that precedes and is superior to any constitution
4. Establish a lawful non-coercive national structure
5. Attract Millions of people quickly who will leave the jurisdiction of the current defacto corporation purporting to be the lawful government of this country to join the lawful dejeur structure in their respective states.
6. Create a smooth transition from the current defacto corporate structure to lawful structure based on freedom and love.
Message from the union states project:
“And then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me”
That is the last line of a famous poem by the German theologian, Martin Niem”ller, who spent eight years in German concentration camps for having an alternate point of view. Most of the population, out of fear or apathy, did not speak out when Hitler first came for the Jews, then the unions, then the sick and disabled, then, finally for the general population who did not serve their purpose.
Are you ready to join your fellow Americans and finally say “Enough”?
This country as we know it is perilously close to a total collapse. When that happens, Martial Law will be instituted, and it is customary for the UN to move in as “peace keepers” and then they will be free to move forward with their new world order business. Ask yourself, who will they come after first?
There is a project underway that you should know about. It is called the union states project - a lawful, peaceful group of people who are simply re-claiming the de jure government that our forefathers innocently and unknowingly allowed to be replaced by what is known as “our government” today. That original government has been dormant for 134 years. It was recognized by international treaties and law. It is still there waiting for us to bring it forward.
We are merely claiming what was abandoned and bringing it forward by giving notice to the rest of the world by using a lawful process. If something is abandoned or lost, the true owner must stake his claim and give notice that he is the rightful owner – that’s us.
We are following the original format that was already laid out and recognized by the other nations. First, the original thirteen states are claiming their individual sovereign status, and, then they will join together in union under the Articles of Confederation. After that is completed, the rest of the states (now still territories over which the “federal government” has total authority) will join the Union.
The stakes are high and the time is short. Many organizations throughout the world are watching, hoping we will finally set the example for mankind. Our Military is waiting for us to complete this project also. They cannot generate their own agenda, lest they perform a military coup. Right now, they have no choice but to take orders from the de facto government.
For more information, please listen to the fifty minute introductory audio at: unionstatesproject.info.
Please join us every Tuesday and Friday 9:00 PM eastern 218-895-0970 pin 396109#
You can listen to recordings of our previous meetings, and view the paperwork used in the process at: unionstatesproject.org. This project is transparent and open to everyone. It is led by nobody but we, the People.
Who is going to step up? If not you, who? if not now, when? In the name of all good things, and for the sake of mankind, please join us before it is too late.

Blood red waters


If you are keeping up with the signs of the times, you might want to watch this.    It’s a short video.  Get past the first minute or two and they begin to list and show all the bodies of water that have turned blood red in the past few years.  As this next year progresses, there will be more and more signs like these. 

Those of you who trust the Lord, remember how God delivered the Children of Israel out of the hands of Pharoah.  In office at this time is a man who desires to rule the world and who has already been acclaimed...even before his first term...as 'Messiah' in Europe and parts of Asia.  He is our last president and, when sworn in to the office, our Nation died.  Planned and orchestrated revolution will follow as the New World Order’s Hegelian principle takes effect. 

Just remember it’s all working together for our good and this is part of God’s eternal plan.  Keep the faith!

Scripture as taken from the Amplified:

“Fear not (there is nothing to fear) for I am with you.  Do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am  your God.  I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties. Yes,  I will help you.  Yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My (victorious) right hand of rightness and justice.”  Isaiah 41:10

"The staff meeting has been canceled? Why?"
That was Joe on the phone. Joe is Ol' Joe Clark, the driver of the armored car that comes by on Monday and Thursday to pick up Z-Force Group's receipts.
"Not enough prior notice. I couldn't get everyone here in time for a meeting. LD50 is in Rome snooping around at the Bilderberger meeting. I told him that it was O.K. for him to go. He might find out something, but I really think that he just likes Italian women. When I told everyone to prepare for civilian life, he got with the program right away. A couple of others begged off for personal reasons. So here we are.
I'm going to send an e-mail out to all our operatives and let them read what I was going to say. That way, they'll be able to read and absorb it at their own pace. I've already written down what I wanted to say. Just notes. I guess I should use a teleprompter. So many public figures use them now."
That got a chuckle from Joe. Teleprompters as a campaign issue. Four years of campaigning against Obama and labeling him as telepromper user was the worst thing they had to throw at him. Amazing.
"Bring your ice chest with you Monday and I'll send you home with some turnip greens."
Joe said that was a great idea. We hung up the phone and then I sent him and all our operatives this e-mail message:
+++
Let's get started with a background briefing to get us all on the same page. Some of you already know this background material. Even so, now's a good time to refresh your memories because what I'm going to say builds on the background information.
On or about July of 2005 we were made aware that there had been a decision made among certain powers, the powers that are able to make such decisions with finality, that earth now has its very own Archangel. I cannot remember his name and no, he doesn't have a web site! For no telling how many hundreds of years, earth has been sort of like Arizona was before it became a state. Earth, just like Arizona, was a territory with minimum law enforcement. Earth was open for settlement, exploration and exploitation.
Arizona was admitted to the Union in 1912. Then the law moved in. The rules changed.
Earth now has its own Archangel diplomatic representative to the cosmic equivalent of the "Union", or the "Council" or whatever name you find most comfortable. And, just as it was in Arizona, the law moved in. The rules changed.
The Council members do not share their thoughts with me. I could tell you what I think about why this happened, but it would be pure speculation and have value only as speculation. And this is not the occasion for that, anyway. So let's move on and deal with the situation as we know it.
If we accept that there's literally a new sheriff in town and that he and his friends are going to clean up this planet, then that would explain some of the otherwise unexplainable events, outcomes and changes that we see around us nearly every day. There have been changes, positive changes, that go counter to expectations based on personal experience and hundreds of years of history. This is not the time nor place to list or discuss them, so we won't devote any time to that exercise. Y'all are familiar with the big ones, anyway.
In the western movies, the new sheriff or the Lone Ranger or some other heroic personality comes into town and vanquishes the bad guys. And the townspeople are all delighted and go about their business in safety after that. That makes for a good story, and the plot works well on the micro level. One town, one sheriff, a few vanquished bad guys.
Try to imagine if that were to happen on a global level, or even on a national level. Let's use the United States as an example. What would happen if suddenly a sufficiently large force of Cosmic Marshals swooped down on Wall Street and other places and took away all the bad guys? Beam them up, de-materialize them on the spot, arrest them for crimes; whatever scenario entertains you. What would happen?
Chaos.
That's what would happen. Panic, uncertainty, and an end to the continuity of government. People would be out of money, out of food and water, and devoid of leadership. A power vacuum would occur, and someone would fill it. And then you'd have another whole long list of bad guys to be de-materialized, arrested, deported, or whatever. The government and the economic system has its faults, granted. But it is always there and pretty much stable. How can the marshal put the bad guys on trial if there's no government with which to do that? There has to be a better way.
Let's use Sheldon Adelson as the poster boy of the bad guy crowd. Find a photo of him and you'll know right away that he's the perfect guy for that honor. Adelson is unquestionably one of the "bad guys". Perhaps those who surround him are conscious participants, too. But somewhere on down the chain of command you come to a point where you find people who work for him because they need a job. Somewhere between that person and Adelson himself are people who know that what they are doing is wrong but they're there for lack of a better choice, or because Adelson holds them by some sort of coercion. Use your imagination on that one. These are people who, given the chance, would switch sides in a minute and go to work for the "good guys", the marshal or his deputies.
Now, with that in mind, we go to what I am proposing as an explanation, a plan, an anticipated outcome of the events that swarm around us right now.
We've known for years that the top of the Illuminati pyramid was off-planet and maybe other-dimensional. This off-planet force was what kept earth-bound competing interests working toward the same goal. That negatively charged off-planet force was challenged by forces on the ground, and in 2005 obtained the assistance of a positively charged force when the Archangels came to our assistance. This is what I think has happened:
The Archangels sat down with the Dark Ones and made a deal. The Dark Ones know that their time is up. Best thing they can do is salvage what they can and retreat. The Archangels have the power to obliterate the earthlings who are serving the Dark Ones' agenda here on this planet. It is not to their advantage to do so, for reasons stated above.
Chaos.
Some of the non-natives, those not born on this planet, were forcibly removed a few years ago. The non-natives who were born on this planet were given a choice; either leave and go to their parents' home planet, or stay here and work for the greater good of this planet. Some left, some stayed and got with the new program. Some, probably the majority, have stalled while waiting to see which side will win. There is no longer any doubt about the outcome.
What appears to be happening is that the Archangels have read Sun Tzu's book, The Art Of War. In that book, Sun Tzu counsels the military men to always leave a way for their enemies to exit with dignity. We are seeing the Dark Ones lose control as those who serve the Dark Ones' agenda have their power taken from them. Those Dark Side agents are learning that what has worked for them for hundreds of years no longer works. And they do not know how to deal with the new reality. They did not get the war they wanted. They did not get the president they wanted. There's more that could be added to the list.
Now, y'all remember that I referenced The Lone Ranger and some other western movie heroes earlier? Hey, there was a bunch of them! Tom Mix. Hopalong Cassidy. Roy Rogers. Gene Autry. Gary Cooper. Paladin. Marshal Dillon. Feel free to add other names that you remember. Anyone here know what it was that they all had in common?
The M.O. was the same in all those movies. Only the names changed. The townspeople were being oppressed and exploited by the bad guys. And along comes one hero who takes them all down. High Noon was probably the most acclaimed of all western movies, and the most typical, too. Gary Cooper had to do it all by himself, but he did clean up the town. Then he rode off with the pretty lady. Remember? Remember how the hotel owner actually wanted the gang to stay in town because it was good for business? In today's America he'd be a defense contractor.
So what did the people learn after the Lone Ranger or Gary Cooper had cleaned up the town? They learned that they should go find someone else to fix it the next time it went bad. It has ever been thus for all of Western Civilization. Find a king, or a queen, or a warrior; a rich man, a prophet or a movie star! and let that person fix what's wrong. We can do better than that.
Y'see, the human race is being upgraded. A whole new upgraded version of the human race is being born, and this has been going on for years. With the Archangel in charge, this is no longer a prison planet. No use telling Alex Jones, he's like that hotel owner in High Noon. It's bad for business if the people find out that they're no longer prisoners of this planet. So don't bother with Alex. He'll come around. Or maybe just go bankrupt. As a burnt out star, he might just go supernova. The next stage after supernova is a black hole. He's already qualified for that.
An upgraded human race needs skills and confidence that the enslaved race didn't have, didn't need. And so it is that we are being led, or driven, or gifted [take your choice] into learning these skills and experiencing the confidence that comes with them. We're establishing patterns, habits, expectations that will be continued by those who come after us, by those who were born to do this.
Look around you and take note of the people who are spontaneously coming together when confronted with a problem. Case in point is the Occupy Wall Street movement, or just Occupy for short. They raised funds and got people together and started feeding and helping the hurricane victims. So successful were they, and so capable were they, that they actually fed the FEMA workers whose job it is to take care of the storm victims.
There's another group that is raising funds to buy off old debt for pennies on the dollar and set the debtors free. Maybe you can add to the list. People are doing things individually and collectively and it's all spontaneous and it is all empowering. Not at all like the attitude of the townspeople in High Noon. People are fighting the Dark Ones wherever they find the opportunity. The move to label GMO foods didn't make it, but the momentum is still there. The move to legalize marijuana is winning, and the outcome is no longer in doubt. Monsanto lost a big court case in Canada. This is all good for a big hallelujah! and high fives all around. It's not moving fast enough for the crowds that want all the loose ends tied up in 90 minutes as they did in the western movies. So you'll hear some grumping from them. Pay them no mind. They are not looking for solutions, and they're not contributing to solving the problems.
We all know that the government needs to be cleaned up. Alan Grayson won, and so did Elizabeth Warren. Those are the big names. There are others. Politics has long been dominated by those who served the moneyed interests. Politics is beginning to attract more people who are interested in public service. The old ways are losing, their power is eroding. And this is all good, all part of what I see as a larger plan unfolding. The people are learning to think and do for themselves. We all win when the masses perceive that they have the power to make positive changes and the power to prevent negative outcomes.
Part of the reason that the plan for war against Iran failed is because the people are tired of war, and they never bought into the hype about the threat from Iran. The people have the internet now in a way that they didn't have back when Bush let the WTC event happen. Now everyone has access to information. Most people have a video camera and can photograph a cop beating someone. People are organizing and sharing information and the Dark Ones don't have the power of the press that they once monopolized. They are doing surveillance on us with their everywhere cameras and spy drones. We're doing surveillance on them with photo phones and reporting misdeeds on forums.
This, I think, is part of the Grand Plan. People are getting things done, making changes, taking charge. This is far better than in the old days when Gary Cooper had to do it all. What's next?
Look for the rotten money system to go down. It won't go down with a big crash. The doomsday prophets will tell you differently, but remember, you heard it here first. The economic system will go down and be re-structured as a more equitable system. That's all part of the deal the Archangels made with the Dark Ones in the big sit-down meeting. Money power is how they hold us all in slavery. They'll be relinquishing that power very soon. Could be right after Christmas. It will be a crash, but a controlled crash. If it is not controlled, then we'll have that word to deal with:
Chaos.
A new economic system will very likely include a new currency. Much of the old currency will go to Money Heaven. It will be de-monetized. That will weaken the power of the drug lords. That will also weaken the power of the CIA. The organization has already begun to spiral out of control. Look for that to continue all the way to self-destruction. If they lose enough of what the Orientals call "face", Congress may just cut off funding for them. Then all they'll have is their drug money with which to operate, and they'll be completely exposed as the criminals they are.
The military. There's housecleaning going on in there, too. One assassination attempt and one coup attempt are screaming announcements that something is wrong. Keep watching the Petraeus and John Allen drama. There's more, lots more, to be revealed. For those of you who remember when Truman fired General MacArthur and think there's a comparison, I've retrieved for you what Truman had to say about that.
" I fired [General MacArthur] because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. That's the answer to that. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail “- Harry S Truman
The military has always been infested with political appointees, incompetents [Custer, et al], grandstanders, ambitious men and self-serving opportunists. I don't even want to speculate about how many men have lost their lives because of these types of people. Petraeus is the most recent example and he may be the one that began the process that brings it all out in the open for the people to deal with. Had he been only a military man when he was exposed, that would have been enough to put the whole military establishment under scrutiny. But, gift from the gods, maybe? He is now exposing the CIA to the same public scrutiny. This is history in the making, and you were there!
To summarize. Planet Earth has its own Archangel representative on the 'Council', for want of a better word. He's cleaning up the place, replacing the old parasitic leadership with service-oriented leaders. One has to assume that this is being done with the full approval of the 'Council'. Indeed, as a prerequisite to full membership. The population of the country, including its present leadership, is being triaged, divided into three groups of people according to their level of ability and understanding.
1st Group. These are the ones who are already willing to work to improve the quality of life for everyone on this planet. All they need is to be told that it is all right now, it is possible to do that, and then provide them with leadership or the opportunity to become leaders in this collective effort.
2nd Group. They're the ones whose hearts are in the right place, but they've been brainwashed to view the world as a fearful place. It will take some time to clear the fog out of their minds and ease them into the new reality. Individuals and groups will spontaneously form to do that.
3rd Group. These are the equivalent to a battlefield casualty when it is obvious that the soldier will not survive. All that can be done is make them as comfortable as possible until they pass on. With this 3rd Group, all that can be done with them is to keep them out of harm's way. Keep them from harming themselves or intefering with the reconstruction and restoration of Planet Earth. In time they will pass on. Their replacements are already being born.
The world is transitioning into a new era. The old institutions and the old ways are being replaced. There is a hidden hand behind all this. We are being trained to do things on our own, and as the old systems go down it will be seen as natural events and something that the people demanded and arranged on their own. As the new arrivals, the ones being born to do this work lay their hands on the levers of power, the time will come when we won't need an Archangel to serve as training wheels.
If there's a problem, the people will handle it. Gary Cooper won't have to leave his pretty lady and go back into town and do it all over again.
When that day comes, maybe the Cosmic Brotherhood, or Council, or whatever they call themselves will establish embassies here on earth.
What about those who have not had their fill of adventure and wish to continue to engage the Dark Side in combat?
"There are", as Merlin said to King Arthur, "other worlds."
