Feminists Claim It’s Sexist to Compliment Women

Feminazi publicly shames man for complimenting her

by Kit Daniels | Infowars.com | September 10, 2015

A feminist lawyer has publicly accused a man of “sexism” after he complimented her photo on LinkedIn.
The woman, 27-year-old Charlotte Proudman, garnered wide support from feminists for tweeting out a private message she received from intellectual property lawyer Alexander Carter-Silk complimenting her “stunning picture” and her response to him calling him sexist for his “unacceptable and misogynistic behavior.”

“Think twice before sending another woman (half your age) such a sexist message,” she wrote to Carter-Silk, discriminating him for his age while calling him “sexist.”
Proudman claimed she publicly shamed him because the “public interest in exposing sexism outweighed any privacy in this respect.”
But is it really sexist for a man to tell a woman she has “the best LinkedIn picture” he had ever seen?
Yes, according to feminists who also claim it’s racist if you don’t sleep with people outside your race.
“Sexual racism… is closely associated with generic racist attitudes, which challenges the idea of racial attraction as solely a matter of personal preference,'” said pro-feminist researchers at the University of New South Wales.
So you’re racist if you don’t have interracial sex with women, but you’re also sexist if you compliment them.
That’s feminist “logic” in a nutshell; being male oppresses women!
In other words, feminists are way more sexist than the men they accuse of sexism.
This isn’t surprising considering the current feminist movement was hijacked by the global elite decades ago to create division within the U.S.
“The Central Intelligence Agency played a key role in hijacking second wave feminism via the work of Gloria Steinem, who is still a noted feminist icon today,” Paul Joseph Watson reported. “Steinem admitted that she was recruited by the CIA to infiltrate youth counter-culture movements in the late 1950’s, and subsequently emerged as a leading icon of second wave feminism in the 1960s.”
“The CIA’s role in steering and managing second wave feminism again underscores the fact that feminism is not a grass roots ‘people’ movement, it is a top down system of control used to divide and conquer and is run by powerful individuals who care little for actual women’s rights.”

Charge: Office Depot refused Christian print job

Charge: Office Depot refused Christian print job

'We do hope this matter can be resolved short of legal action'

Published: 15 hours ago

Office Depot is being accused of refusing to print a flyer for an Illinois woman because of its Christian content.

“We suggest that you consider what your position would be if our client were black and your employees refused service because of her race,” said a letter to Office Depot Chairman Roland C. Smith from Thomas Olp of the Thomas More Society, which is representing the woman.
“In that case it would not be hard to see how unreasonable that refusal of service would be. The public accommodation laws do not give any greater leeway for refusal of service when a customer’s religious expression motivates the refusal. … Our laws welcome religion and religious expression, treat it fairly and equally, and do not permit its marginalization or silencing.”
Multiple WND telephone calls and emails to Office Depot headquarters were not returned.
Thomas More said the dispute arose when Maria Goldstein placed an order last month for a print job at the Office Depot in Schaumburg, Illinois.
It included details of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s baby body-parts trade.
She was told, however, by an Office Depot employee that the printing of her flyer was “restricted by corporate policy” and that her order would not be filled.
When she contacted the office of the chairman multiple times to discuss the company’s refusal to fill her order, staffer Diane Demma defended the refusal and offered no alternatives, the letter said.
“Office Depot is discriminating against me based on my religion,” Goldstein said in a statement released by her lawyers. “If the store can pick and choose what orders it fills based on religious content, it is refusing to treat people of faith equally. In America where we value freedom of religion, this is simply unacceptable.”
Olp told WND the company has not responded to him. An Office Depot representative told the local newspaper that the prayer advocated “persecution” of people who support Planned Parenthood.
He said if there is an employee with some sort of religious objection to the Christian statements, the company should accommodate that employee and find someone else to do the print job.
“That’s the enlightened way of doing things,” he said.
The flyer she had prepared noted that during fiscal year 2013-2014 “Planned Parenthood received more than $1,400,000 per day in the form of government grants, contracts and Medicaid reimbursements.”
“Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values counter attacks on our freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists
It also said Planned Parenthood committed 327,653 abortions in 2013 and there “are 9,170 federally qualified health centers who provide health services (but NOT abortions) to low-income populations, compared to about 700 Planned Parenthood clinics.”
The refers to the series of undercover videos revealing Planned Parenthood executives and others negotiating over the prices for the body parts of aborted babies. There are companies that salvage the body parts and resell them for research.
One of the videos revealed a California Planned Parenthood executive negotiating over the prices, fretting about being “low-balled” and then stating, “I want a Lamborghini.”
Besides the statistics about Planned Parenthood and a link to the website with the videos, the flyer featured a “Prayer for the Conversion of Planned Parenthood.”
See the Big List of Christian Coercion compiled by WND, where officials, business owners and others have been bludgeoned by the law, activists – even judges – for their faith.
“Lord for whom all things are possible, We are confronted once again today with the evil of the abortion industry and the corruption found in the world’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood,” it started.
“We stand against the evil that has been exposed in Planned Parenthood and in the entire abortion industry,” it includes. “We stand today for the triumph of truth over falsehood, of light over darkness, and of life over death.”
“Anyone can order printing at Office Depot,” said Olp, a special counsel attorney. “But because Ms. Goldstein’s flyers had religious content – namely calling for prayer for Planned Parenthood – Office Depot refused to complete her order. This is a blatant violation of the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance, which forbids public businesses from discriminating based on religion.”
Demma told Goldstein that “if it makes employees feel uncomfortable they don’t have to print something.”
“We take exception to your position,” the letter said. “Your store, in our view, is a public accommodation within … the meaning of the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance.”
With that status, the letter said, workers cannot discriminate based on “religion.”
“Ms. Goldstein’s flyer unmistakably expresses her Christian religious convictions. It contains a prayer by Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, a national Catholic pro-life organization, seeking divine assistance to end abortion and the pernicious practices of Planned Parenthood.
“We believe that by allowing and ratifying your employees’ refusal to serve Ms. Goldstein because of their hostility to and disagreement with her flyer, you have unlawfully discriminated against Ms. Goldstein because of her religion and religious expression within the meaning of the Cook County Human rights ordinance and the Illinois Human Rights Act.
“We do hope this matter can be resolved short of legal action,” Olp wrote.
The case is in sharp juxtaposition to numerous other cases in which Christian business operators have been ordered to fulfill orders or be penalized, even when they specifically violate the business owners’ faith.
Among the cases is a pizza place that was targeted because the owner answered a hypothetical question about catering a “gay wedding.”
Bakery owners in Oregon and Colorado now facing huge penalties for refusing to endorse “same-sex marriage.”
And a county clerk in Kentucky was jailed last week by a federal judge, David Bunning, for refusing to violate her faith by issuing licenses to same-sex couples.

The City of London Has Turned Britain Into a “Civilized Mafia State”

The City of London Has Turned Britain Into a “Civilized Mafia State”

Social cleansing is transforming central London into an exclusive economic zone for property speculation

Michael Krieger | Liberty Blitzkrieg - September 10, 2015

 

Liberty Blitzkrieg has seen an uncharacteristically strong focus on London-centric posts today. Go figure.
While the earlier post related to the likely bursting of the London real estate bubble, this one highlights a blistering critique of the role the City of London has played in transforming Great Britain into what George Monbiot calls a “civilized mafia state.” But that’s just an appetizer. This extremely well written and informative article is a must read for anyone still in the dark regarding London’s central role within the global financial crime syndicate.
Here are a few excerpts from the Guardian:

To an extent unknown since before the first world war, economic relations in this country are becoming set in stone. It is not just that the very rich no longer fall while the very poor no longer rise. It’s that the system itself is protected from risk. Through bailouts, quantitative easing and delays in interest-rate rises, speculative investment has been so well cushioned that – as the Guardian economics editor, Larry Elliott, puts it – financial markets are “one of the last bastions of socialism left on Earth”.
Public services, infrastructure, the very fabric of the nation: these too are being converted into risk-free investments. Social cleansing is transforming central London into an exclusive economic zone for property speculation. From a dozen directions, government policy converges on this objective.
Property in this country is a haven for the proceeds of international crime. The head of the National Crime Agency, Donald Toon, notes that “the London property market has been skewed by laundered money. Prices are being artificially driven up by overseas criminals who want to sequester their assets here in the UK.”
It’s hardly surprising, given the degree of oversight. Private Eye has produced a map of British land owned by companies registered in offshore tax havens. The holdings amount to 1.2m acres, including much of the country’s prime real estate. Among those it names as beneficiaries are a cast of Russian oligarchs, oil sheikhs, British aristocrats and newspaper proprietors. These are the people for whom government policy works – and the less regulated the system that enriches them, the happier they are.
The speculative property market is just one current in the great flow of cash that sluices through Britain while scarcely touching the sides. The financial sector exploits an astonishing political privilege: the City of London is the only jurisdiction in the UK not fully subject to the authority of parliament. In fact, the relationship seems to work the other way. Behind the Speaker’s chair in the House of Commons sits the Remembrancer, whose job is to ensure that the interests of the City of London are recognised by the elected members. (A campaign to rescind this privilege – Don’t Forget the Remembrancer – will be launched very soon.)
The City is a semi-offshore state, a bit like the UK’s crown dependencies and overseas territories, tax havens legitimised by the Privy Council. Britain’s financial secrecy undermines the tax base while providing a conduit into the legal economy for gangsters, kleptocrats and drug barons.
Even the more orthodox financial institutions deploy a succession of scandalous practices: pension mis-selling, endowment mortgage fraud, the payment protection insurance con, Libor rigging. A former minister in the last government, Lord Green, ran HSBC while it engaged in money laundering for drug gangs, systematic tax evasion and the provision of services to Saudi and Bangladeshi banks linked to the financing of terrorists. Sometimes the UK looks to me like an ever so civilised mafia state.
The government also insists that there is no link between political donations and seats in the House of Lords. But a study by researchersat Oxford University found that the probability of so many major donors arriving there by chance is 1.36 x 10-38: roughly “equivalent to entering the National Lottery and winning the jackpot 5 times in a row”. Why does the Lords remain unreformed? Because it permits plutocratic power to override democracy. Both rich and poor are kept in their place.
Governed either by or on behalf of the people who fleece us, we cannot be surprised to discover that all public services are being re-engineered for the benefit of private capital. Nor should we be surprised when governments help to negotiate, without public consent, treaties such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, which undermine the sovereignty of both parliament and the law. Aesop’s observation, that “we hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office”, remains true in spirit, though hanging has been replaced by community payback.
Wherever you sniff in British public life, something stinks: I could fill this site with examples. But, while every pore oozes corruption, our task, we are told, is merely to trim the nails of the body politic.

Russia and China March Together and Eye a Common Adversary — the U.S.

Russia and China March Together and Eye a Common Adversary — the U.S.

September 9, 2015 in News, World News by D

Artyom Lukin, www.huffingtonpost.com/



VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — On Sept. 3 China marked the 70th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II with a grand parade on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. As expected, most world leaders chose to stay away so as not to confer international legitimacy on the commemorations that many in the West see as an overly propagandistic, nationalistic and anti-Japanese display of military force. The representation of the United States and its major allies was downgraded to the level of ambassadors and ex-leaders like Tony Blair and Gerhard Schröder. The conspicuous exception was South Korean President Park Geun-hye who, after some hesitation,went to Beijing despite Washington’s displeasure. Not very surprising, given that South Korea depends on China for 26.1 percent of its exports.
However, it was Vladimir Putin of Russia who was treated as the chief guest of honor at the Chinese celebrations. Throughout the commemoration proceedings Putin was to the right side of Chinese President Xi Jinping. This exactly mirrored the May 9 parade in Moscow marking the defeat of Nazi Germany a few months earlier. At that event, no Western leader showed up and Xi Jinping was the most prominent and honored guest.
While displays of marching troops and rolling armor have been held regularly on Moscow’s Red Square, for China it is quite a rare occasion. Before, lavish parades on Tiananmen Square only took place once every 10 years to mark anniversaries of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The recent parade was the first ever to glorify China’s victory in World War II, or “the Chinese People’s Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World Anti-Fascist War” as it is officially called in China. It was not lost on the observers that the festivities in Beijing strikingly resembled the Victory Day commemorations in Moscow. Chinese officials acknowledged that they drew upon Russia’s experience in “mobilizing patriotic sentiments.”
Why should Russia and China celebrate the victory in the Second World War as if it has just ended? After all, for most of the countries that participated in the war it has long become history. But for Moscow and Beijing the war continues to carry special significance. Not to be forgotten, it is Russia and China that suffered the heaviest human toll during the war. Russia lost some 27 million people, while China’s casualties are estimated to be about 20 million people. The outcome of World War II made the Soviet Union a superpower and thus accorded it a top status in the international system — a privileged position that contemporary Russia is striving to retain, at least in its post-Soviet and European neighborhood. For China, victory over Japan has come to symbolize the end of “the century of humiliation” at the hands of foreign powers and has been used by the Chinese Communist Party to legitimize its rule. The governments in Russia and China utilize victory over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan as a powerful tool to whip up and manipulate nationalistic emotions of the populace.

The victory in WWII has always been seen in Russia as achieved primarily through the efforts and sacrifice of the Soviet Union, with the help of America and Great Britain. Russia’s official discourse is now palpably changing, with China replacing the Western allies as the second most important contributor to the outcome of the war: the Soviet Union made the decisive contribution to the defeat of the Nazi Germany in Europe, while China overcame imperial Japan in Asia. Xi Jinping’s participation in the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow and Putin’s return visit to Beijing for the commemoration of the end of the war in Asia consolidate this new interpretation of history with the obvious aim of strengthening solidarity between the two countries in opposition to the West.
Russia was among a handful of countries to send troops to take part in the Chinese parade. The soldiers from the elite Preobrazhensky Regiment were given the privilege to close the procession of marching formations on Tiananmen Square, reciprocating Chinese troops’ participation in the Red Square parade back in May. For those in Russia who are well versed in history the sight of Russian and Chinese soldiers marching together may evoke uneasy parallels. In 1808, during the pompous summit of Alexander I and Napoleon in Erfurt, Russian and French troops paraded together, an event followed only four years later by Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. In September 1939, the Red Army and Wehrmacht staged a joint parade in defeated Poland, less than two years before Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union. And, perhaps even more to the point, memories still linger of how “the eternal and unbreakable friendship between the Soviet and Chinese peoples” of the 1950s turned into a bitter confrontation in only a few years.
That said, the new edition of Sino-Russian alignment is unlikely to rupture anytime soon. Even though Russia and China have their share of disagreements and competing interests, they have no doubts about their main adversary — the United States. As long as Washington is seen by Moscow and Beijing as trying to contain them geopolitically and subvert their domestic political regimes, the entente between Russia and China will only grow stronger, a prospect that is of increasing concern to many strategic thinkers in the United States.
Just as the new PLA’s hardware was being shown off on Tiananmen Square, five Chinese warships sailed into the Bering Sea near Alaska — the first time China’s navy appeared so close to America’s Arctic shores. The Chinese flotilla came to the Arctic waters fresh from joint exercises with the Russian navy in the Sea of Japan. Right at that time Barack Obama happened to be travelling in northern Alaska. Was it a message from China — “even if you don’t come to our parade when invited, you are bound to see our flag anyway”?

Chaos in cabal controlled financial system creates opportunity for revolution
Posted by benjamin
September 7, 2015

Chaos and conflict at the very top of the Western financial system has created a unique opportunity to permanently put an end to Khazarian mafia control of the West. Furthermore, a new group of leaders will be assuming power in the Pentagon and, if they are able to coordinate with the worldwide resistance movement, humanity can be freed from Babylonian debt slavery as early as this autumn. The important thing to drill into the heads of military, police and intelligence officials worldwide is that the West has been taken over by a group of mass murdering gangsters who need to be arrested and removed from power ASAP. To put it more bluntly, it must be explained to the military fence sitters that the Khazarian mob has been actively trying to kill them and their families with manufactured diseases, toxic chemicals, unhealthy food, multiple attempts to start World War 3 etc. meaning that fence sitting is no longer an option. Self-defense is mandatory.

The anniversary this Friday of the September 11, 2001 mass murder event in New York would be a good time to take action. All it will take is for all aware members of the military and police in the US and for all governments outside of the US to demand the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this crime. Anybody, from Obama on down, who tries to stop the arrests must themselves be arrested.

In fact, there are already clear signs the US military is taking strong action against the Khazarian mob. Pentagon sources say the Khazarian JP Morgan bank has been “put under military supervision,” because

“it is the operating arm of the Federal Reserve Board.” The pentagon sources explain that JPM handles food stamps or electronic benefit transfer cards which it could have stopped in order to create food riots. JPM was taken over in order to prevent this from happening. However, the military are now reporting that much of the JP Morgan money has “gone missing.” They are now investigating if Morgan Stanley and Barclays bank are responsible for stealing the money because, if they are, “they will be Lehmanized” i.e. bankrupted and dismantled. An MI5 source in the UK, for his part noted: “it is interesting to hear that because Morgan Stanley in the UK is behind the Iraq Chilcot (whitewash) inquiry” into UK involvement in the illegal invasion of Iraq. MI5 also notes that senior UK power brokers like John Scarlett (former MI6 head) and Jeremy Heywood (UK Chief Cabinet Secretary) are to this day working with mass murderers Benjamin Netanyahu and the Bush family in trying to maintain Khazarain mob control of the West.

There is also a massive ongoing financial attack against other Khazarian mob controlled financial institutions. They are reeling under a combined attack involving US Treasuries dumping (by China), the collapse in oil prices, petrodollar derivatives losses, zero interest rates (on loans) and demand by exporters for payment in Chinese yuan.

Rockefeller controlled Citigroup “is sending its stolen gold and stolen cash to Russia in an effort to prevent it from falling into Chinese hands,” according to Pentagon and Chinese sources. This coincides with statements by Rockefeller bag man Henry Kissinger that the US should be friendly to Russia. Russia is likely to simply claim the gold as tsarist treasure being returned.

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-interview-henry-kissinger-13615

As mentioned in a bulletin issued in August, a clear sign of the intensity of the ongoing financial war was seen when the Chinese Tianhe-1 super computer was hit with a nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon on August 12th immediately after China devalued the Yuan against the US dollar on August 11th.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2971372/tianjin-explosion-shuts-down-chinese-supercomputer.html

The Chinese devaluation was used as part of an attack on the derivatives positions of the big Khazarian banks. The Khazarians responded with a stolen nuclear weapon. Pentagon officials were quick to explain to the Chinese the attack against them originated with the Khazarian mob and not the US military industrial complex.

The Chinese have made it clear they are expecting strong action by the US military industrial complex against the Khazarian mob if they want to avoid war. Such action has already begun, they were told.

The US military, the Russians, the Iranians and their allies are now increasing their pressure on the Khazarian mob and their puppet state Israel. These three powers are now cooperating to attack the Israeli ISIS proxy army in the Middle East. Egypt is also about to join the Iranian, Russian, Pentagon alliance, according to Pentagon sources. A military campaign is now under way by these allies with the aim of cutting off of ISIS oil being supplied from Iraq via Israel and Turkey. Cutting off these oil export routes would deprive the Khazarians and their ISIS proxy army of their largest source of funds (other than narcotics).

The Khazarians have already faced a major defeat in the United States in their attempt to stop the ongoing rapprochement between the US and Iran. The fact the Khazarian lobby, despite a massive campaign, could not get enough votes in Congress and the Senate to veto the Iran deal is clear proof the Khazarians are losing control of the US political system.
Meanwhile closet Khazarian mobster King Salman of Saudi Arabia arrived in Washington D.C. on September 4th to demand the return of Saudi Gold kept in the US. He was told by the Americans that if he persisted in his demands his Kingdom would be broken up. In addition, he was told his country would face “severe consequences” if it stopped supplying oil to the US military industrial complex and started selling it to the Chinese instead. Salman was also forced to accept the Iran deal, the Pentagon sources said.

The situation in Europe is also coming to a head. The massive refugee crisis that is in the news there is being engineered as part of the long term P2 plan to use a conflict between Islam and Christianity to force a unification of the monotheist faiths. The plan calls for an escalation of the refugee crisis and the arrival of large contingents of “armed ISIS fighters” to speed up the process, according to German “second Reich” sources. According to these sources, NATO forces reached a secret agreement to begin going ahead with their New World Order on September 25th. Some sort of accord will be then signed on December 25th, the sources said. The overall plan is to collapse the entire present system in order to be able to rebuild from scratch, they said.

The arrival of Pope Francis, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and other power brokers in the US at the end of September, supposedly to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the UN, may well be a sign some sort of world treaty is about to be signed.

Another sign that something highly unusual is going on is the fact the US air defenses on the US East coast are going to be shut down during the last half of September even as Chinese and Russian naval forces are stationed near the US coast. The last time such a thing happened was on September 11th, 2001.

http://allnewspipeline.com/Multiple_Drills_Boston_September.php

Meanwhile in Japan, there are also signs that it is not business as usual. It appears that slave Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is working for new handlers. The clearest sign is that Japan’s government is not only ending any pretense of sanctions against Russia or Iran, it is also planning to stop using the US dollar in trade with Russia. Japan already trades with Iran and China without using the US dollar.

In other Japan news, the Yamaguchi Gumi, Japan, and the worlds’, largest crime syndicate also split up recently. Sources inside the Yamaguchi Gumi and in rival gangs say the split up was a local issue not directly related to international events. Tsukasa Shinobu, the current head of the gang, comes from Nagoya (home of Toyota motors) and resentment against Nagoya control was building up in Kobe, the traditional base of the gang. Not only was the Nagoya faction taking over personnel decisions but it was also demanding excessive tribute, according to the gang sources. It is unlikely this split will lead to war because both factions have too much to lose in the event that happens, the sources said. The last time the gang split, when the Goto gumi left in 2008, there was no war. Tadamasa Goto, the head of the Goto gang, now lives in retirement in Cambodia. If a gang war is going to break out, gangs will evacuate their formal headquarters, disguise their appearance and start killing each other off.

In a final note to readers, this writer would like to thank his readers for putting up with pre-written reports and allowing him to take his annual holiday in Canada.

Canada is heading into a general election on October 19th and opinion polls now show the Zionist regime of Stephen Harper is headed for a decisive defeat. Canada should then be in a position to help liberate itself and its cousins to the South from Babylonian debt slavery.

If You Want To Know The Truth About The Unemployment Rate Read This Article

If You Want To Know The Truth About The Unemployment Rate Read This Article

September 10, 2015 | By Michael Snyder | Business

 

The Obama administration is telling us that the unemployment rate in the United States has fallen to 5.1 percent, but does that number actually bear any resemblance to reality?  On Friday, news outlets all over America celebrated the fact that the U.S. economy added 173,000 jobs in August.  We were told that the unemployment rate has fallen to a seven year low and that wages are going up.  So everything must be getting better for the middle class, right?  After all, isn’t that what the official numbers are telling us?

The financial markets are buzzing over this news because the unemployment rate has fallen into a range that the Federal Reserve has typically considered to be “full employment”, so there is an expectation that the Fed may raise interest rates shortly.  The following comes from Business Insider…

The unemployment rate fell to 5.1% in August, the lowest since April 2008. This was lower than forecast, and put the measure in the middle of the 5.2% – 5.0% range the Federal Reserve considers to be “full employment.” The economy added 173,000 jobs, below the expectation for 217,000, although August payrolls are usually revised higher. We also saw some wage growth, with average hourly earnings rising 0.3% month-on-month, and 2.5% year-over-year. The payrolls gain for July was revised up to 245,000 from 215,000.

But do we actually have anything close to “full employment” in this country?

Of course not.

The truth is that the only way they have been able to get the official “unemployment rate” to steadily go down over the past few years is to eliminate hundreds of thousands of Americans that are chronically unemployed from the official labor force numbers every month.  Jim Quinn elaborated on this very eloquently in one of his recent articles…

Now for the plunge in the unemployment rate. That comes from the household survey. The fact is that 220,000 more Americans entered the work force in August. According to this survey, 196,000 more Americans were employed. In the real world this would result in the unemployment rate going UP. Not in the Bizarro world of the BLS. They expect the peasants to believe that 261,000 Americans, of their own free will, voluntarily left the workforce in August because they don’t need a job to pay the bills, feed themselves, and keep a roof over their heads. The idiocy of this ridiculous assumption is breathtaking to behold. Only an Ivy League educated economist, CNBC shill, or complete and utter moron could believe this drivel.

At this point, the percentage of Americans that are actually considered to be “participating in the labor force” is the lowest that it has been since 1977.

According to the Obama administration, more than 94 million working age Americans are “not in the labor force”, and so they don’t count as being unemployed…

A record 94,031,000 Americans were not in the American labor force last month — 261,000 more than July — and the labor force participation rate stayed stuck at 62.6 percent, a 38-year low, for a third straight month in August, the Labor Department reported on Friday, as the nation heads into the Labor Day weekend.

Personally, I believe that the civilian employment-population ratio provides a much more accurate picture of the employment situation in this country.  It is a measure of the percentage of the working age population that actually has a job.

As you can see from the chart below, the percentage of working age Americans that are actually working has barely risen from the depths of the last recession…

Does that look like an “employment recovery” to you?

It sure doesn’t to me.

According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if honest numbers were being used we would actually have an unemployment rate of 22.9 percent in this country.

But if the mainstream media reported that number, everyone would be talking about a “Great Depression” and we would all be complaining about what a horrible job Obama was doing.

Sadly, the cold, hard truth is that the U.S. economy has been collapsing for a very long time.  According to CBS News, the number of “ultrapoor” Americans that live on less than 2 dollars a day has doubled since 1996…

By one dismal measure, America is joining the likes of Third World countries.

The number of U.S. residents who are struggling to survive on just $2 a day has more than doubled since 1996, placing 1.5 million households and 3 million children in this desperate economic situation. That’s according to “$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America,” a book from publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that will be released on Sept. 1.

The measure of poverty isn’t arbitrary — it’s the threshold the World Bank uses to measure global poverty in the developed world. While it may be the norm to see families in developing countries such as Bangladesh and Ethiopia struggle to survive on such meager income, the growing ranks of America’s ultrapoor may be shocking, given that the U.S. is considered one of the most developed capitalist countries in the world.

How can that be possible if we are close to “full employment”?

In a recent article on the Economic Collapse Blog, I explained that 46 million Americans used food banks in one recent year, and that lines start forming at some U.S. food banks as early as 6:30 in the morning because people want to get something before the food supplies run out.

No, economic conditions are definitely not “good” in this nation.

We are being told lies by our politicians and by the mainstream media.  The numbers simply do not match what is going on in the real world.

We can even see this in some of the wealthiest areas of the entire country.  In New York City, for example, they are dealing with an explosion in the number of people that are sleeping on the streets…

They are sleeping in front of the Empire State building, sprawled in front of the doors of Macy’s, and panhandling outside Grand Central.

New York is in the grip of a homeless epidemic so bad that it has raised fears of the city slipping back into the disorder of the 1970s and 1980s.

The city’s police chief this week said that as many as 4,000 people are now sleeping rough in the city, in a crisis which even the city’s ultra-liberal mayor has finally acknowledged after months of denials.

Police officers have identified 80 separate homeless encampments in the city, 20 of which are so entrenched that they have their own furniture, while its former mayor Rudolph Giuliani has spoken scathingly of how his successor is failing to keep order.

Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad“, recently told Newsmax that the “global economy is in a collapse right now”.  And he is right.  Things are getting worse in Asia, in Europe and in South America.

Things are also getting worse for the U.S. economy.  The “employment recovery” that we have already seen is all the employment recovery that we are going to get.

From here on out, millions upon millions of American workers are going to be losing their jobs and the suffering in this country is going to be off the charts.

So don’t fall for the lies that Obama and his minions are telling you.

All you have to do to see the truth is to open up your eyes and look at what is happening all around us.

U.S. Drops Fleas With Bubonic Plague On North Korea

U.S. Drops Fleas With Bubonic Plague On North Korea

September 9, 2015 | By Guest Post | Sleuth Journal, World News

 

By: David Swanson, Global Research   |

This happened some 63 years ago, but as the U.S. government has never stopped lying about it, and it’s generally known only outside the United States, I’m going to treat it as news.

Here in our little U.S. bubble we’ve heard of a couple versions of a film called The Manchurian Candidate. We’ve heard of the general concept of “brainwashing” and may even associate it with something evil that the Chinese supposedly did to U.S. prisoners during the Korean War. And I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people who’ve heard of these things have at least a vague sense that they’re bullshit.

If you didn’t know, I’ll break it to you right now: people cannot actually be programed like the Manchurian candidate, which was a work of fiction. There was never the slightest evidence that China or North Korea had done any such thing. And the CIA spent decades trying to do such a thing, and finally gave up.

I’d also be willing to bet that very few people know what it was that the U.S. government promoted the myth of “brainwashing” to cover up. During the Korean War, the United States bombed virtually all of North Korea and a good bit of the South, killing millions of people. It dropped massive quantities of Napalm. It bombed dams, bridges, villages, houses. This was all-out mass-slaughter. But there was something the U.S. government didn’t want known, something deemed unethical in this genocidal madness.

It is well documented that the United States dropped on China and North Korea insects and feathers carrying anthrax, cholera, encephalitis, and bubonic plague. This was supposed to be a secret at the time, and the Chinese response of mass vaccinations and insect eradication probably contributed to the project’s general failure (hundreds were killed, but not millions). But members of the U.S. military taken prisoner by the Chinese confessed to what they had been a part of, and confessed publicly when they got back to the United States.

Some of them had felt guilty to begin with. Some had been shocked at China’s decent treatment of prisoners after U.S. depictions of the Chinese as savages. For whatever reasons, they confessed, and their confessions were highly credible, were borne out by independent scientific reviews, and have stood the test of time.

How to counter reports of the confessions? The answer for the CIA and the U.S. military and their allies in the corporate media was “brainwashing,” which conveniently explained away whatever former prisoners said as false narratives implanted in their brains by brainwashers.

And 300 million of so Americans more or less sort of believe that craziest-ever dog-ate-my-homework concoction to this day!

The propaganda struggle was intense. The support of the Guatemalan government for the reports of U.S. germ warfare in China were part of the U.S. motivation for overthrowing the Guatemalan government; and the same cover-up was likely part of the motivation for the CIA’s murder of Frank Olson.

There isn’t any debate that the United States had been working on bio-weapons for years, at Fort Detrick — then Camp Detrick — and numerous other locations. Nor is there any question that the United States employed the top bio-weapons killers from among both the Japanese and the Nazis from the end of World War II onward. Nor is there any question that the U.S. tested such weapons on the city of San Francisco and numerous other locations around the United States, and on U.S. soldiers. There’s a museum in Havana featuring evidence of years of U.S. bio-warfare against Cuba. We know that Plum Island, off the tip of Long Island, was used to test the weaponization of insects, including the ticks that created the ongoing outbreak of Lyme Disease.

Dave Chaddock’s book This Must Be the Place, which I found via Jeff Kaye’s review, collects the evidence that the United States indeed tried to wipe out millions of Chinese and North Koreans with deadly diseases.

“What does it matter now?” I can imagine people from only one corner of the earth asking.

I reply that it matters that we know the evils of war and try to stop the new ones. U.S. cluster bombs in Yemen, U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, U.S. guns in Syria, U.S. white phosphorus and Napalm and depleted uranium used in recent years, U.S. torture in prison camps, U.S. nuclear arsenals being expanded, U.S. coups empowering monsters in Ukraine and Honduras, U.S. lies about Iranian nukes, and indeed U.S. antagonization of North Korea as part of that never-yet-ended war — all of these things can be best confronted by people aware of a centuries-long pattern of lying.

And I reply, also, that it is not yet too late to apologize.

TSA blunder hits travelers at U.S. airports

TSA blunder hits travelers at U.S. airports

Major goof gives master key to anyone with 3-D printer

Published: 2 hours ago

The Transportation Security Administration just learned a hard lesson: Do not allow master key photos to surface online. A group of 3-D printing enthusiasts took advantage of someone’s giant mistake and created master keys for “approved” baggage locks.

“Honestly I wasn’t expecting this to work, even though I tried to be as accurate as possible from the pictures. I did this for fun and don’t even have a TSA-approved lock to test,” a French 3-D printer who only identified himself as Xylitol wrote Wired magazine on Wednesday. “If someone reported it that my 3D models are working, well, that’s cool, and it shows how a simple picture of a set of keys can compromise a whole system.”
Images taken from a Washington Post story titled “The secret life of baggage: Where does your luggage go at the airport?” were used to make the fraudulent keys. The newspaper quickly removed the image from its story, but not before it spread across the Internet.
“OMG, it’s actually working!” wrote Montreal-based Unix administrator Bernard Bolduc on Twitter. Bolduc, who provided video evidence of his accomplishment, told Wired he used a PrintrBot Simple Metal printer with cheap PLA plastic to make his key.
“It worked on the first try,” said Bolduc.
Wired said the key in the leaked image worked for all TSA-approved locks made by companies such as Master Lock, Samsonite and American Tourister. Neither the Post nor the TSA immediately responded to the technology website’s request for comment.
“Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare is Becoming Our Reality,” marshals the terrifying evidence to show the world of Big Brother is much closer than we want to admit.
“People need to be aware that even though someone says ‘use these approved locks,’ don’t take their word for it,” said Shahab Sheikhzadeh, a New Jersey-based security researcher, Wired reported. “We’re in a day and age when pretty much anything can be reproduced with a photograph, a 3-D printer and some ingenuity.”
This is the second embarrassing image incident for the TSA in a matter of months. In late June, the agency received angry feedback after posting a picture of a bag with $75,000 inside to its social media website.
“If you had $75,000, is this how you’d transport it? Just asking! TSA @ RIC spotted this traveler’s preferred method,” tweeted Lisa Farbstein, TSA spokeswoman at headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, WND reported.
Some of the negative feedback included:

• That’s awesome. Next will you post public pics of someone’s meds? You should be fired.
• Is this what y’all do on the clock? Post pics of travelers’ personal belongings on twitter?
• Now that the public knows the exact design, color and size of this bag and also its contents, how is this traveler safer?
• So the TSA is just outright fu–ing with people and bragging about it.

Richmond airport spokesman Troy Bell told the Washington Post at the time the traveler was “allowed to continue on his way,” although the cash was seized for an investigation.
“TSA officers routinely come across evidence of criminal activity at airport checkpoints. Examples include evidence of illegal drug trafficking, money laundering, and violations of currency reporting requirements prior to international trips. TSA turned this bag over to law enforcement, which is investigating,” Farbstein told the Washington Free Beacon in a statement.

Background Checks For Prospective Gun Buyers

Background Checks For Prospective Gun Buyers Reach An All Time High

By Tyler M.

TOPICS:firearms

September 10, 2015

The FBI conducted more background checks for prospective gun buyers in August 2015 than in any previous month on record, proving once again that nothing helps boost gun sales like a push for gun control.

Retailers called in roughly 1.8 million background checks last month, the highest monthly figure since the FBI started tracking background checks in 1998. 

Monthly gun sales have grown by more than a million over the past fifteen years, the Washington Times reported.

Because the government doesn’t publish statistics on gun sales, background checks are often used as an indicator for sales of firearms. When the number of background checks goes up, it means business is booming for the firearms industry.

The recent increase in background checks came after shootings in South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia this summer prompted renewed calls for gun control.

“Whenever there is a call for gun control, sales increase,” said Larry Keane, a general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “The concern that anti-gun politicians are seeking to infringe and restrict the right to keep and bear arms is very real and well-founded.”

Democrats and moderate Republicans have introduced a number of gun control measures over the past. Even the NRA threw its support behind a gun control bill encouraging states to share information on the “mentally ill” with the federal government.

Senate Democrat Tim Kaine introduced yet another confiscatory proposal was introduced last week. The “Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act” would make anyone who transfers a gun to a prohibited individual criminally liable.
