(Newser) – Tanks, missiles, and troops in lock-step filed past Beijing's iconic Tiananmen Square in a massive parade today commemorating Japan's World War II defeat 70 years ago and underlining President Xi Jinping's determination to make China the pre-eminent Asian power. The spectacle involved more than 12,000 troops, 500 pieces of military hardware. and 200 aircraft of various types, representing what military officials say is the Chinese military's most cutting-edge technology. Helicopters zoomed overhead in an array forming the number 70. Xi kicked off the proceedings with a speech flanked by Chinese leaders and foreign dignitaries including Vladimir Putin, though most Western leaders stayed away.
To underline China's position that its rise is peaceful and poses no threat to neighbors, Xi pledged to cut 300,000 troops from the 2.3 million-strong People's Liberation Army, the world's largest standing military. "The experience of war makes people value peace even more," he said. "China will never seek to expand and will never inflict the tragedies it suffered in the past upon others." The Washington Post sees the move as one "that would accelerate [Xi's] campaign to modernize the military, shifting resources from land to sea and air." The parade is part of commemorations packaged to bolster the ruling Communist Party's self-declared role as the driving force behind Japan's defeat 70 years ago and savior of the nation, though historians say the rival Nationalists did most of the fighting and the party's version of events also minimizes the role of the US, Britain, and others.

Canada PM: What Recession?

Canada PM: What Recession?

(Newser) – Canada has fallen into a recession, dragged down by falling energy prices and economic troubles in China. The world's 11th-biggest economy retreated at an annual pace of 0.5% from April through June after sliding 0.8% in the first three months of the year, meeting the technical definition of a recession, according to Statistics Canada. The economic news could spell trouble for Prime Minister Stephen Harper during the Oct. 19 election. Analysts call the three-way race a toss-up, and Harper, campaigning for a fourth term on a record of economic growth, refused yesterday to recognize that Canada is in a recession. He says the economy is bouncing back after a brief bump.
"I think it's more important to describe the reality of the situation rather than to have labels," Harper says, calling Canada an "island of stability" amid rough financial waters. The country avoided the worst of the 2008 global financial crash and fared better than most nations. Unlike the US, it avoided a real estate market implosion or credit crisis. "We've had a couple of weak months, but the fact of the matter is over the long haul, post the global financial crisis, Canadians know there is no better place to be," says Harper, who has been in power since 2006. Analysts say that in October, the left-of-center opposition New Democrats, led by Tom Mulcair, have a chance to gain power for the first time. (In Quebec, people are cutting their money in half.)

America's eerie parallels to downfall of Rome

America's eerie parallels to downfall of Rome

Bill Federer recounts factors contributing to massive empire's demise


The fall of Rome
The fall of Rome

The fall of Rome was a culmination of several external and internal factors.
Great Wall of China
By 220 A.D., the Later Eastern Han Dynasty had extended sections of the Great Wall of China along its Mongolian border. This resulted in the Northern Huns attacking west instead of east. This caused a domino effect of tribes migrating west across Central Asia, and overrunning the Western Roman Empire.

Open borders
Illegal immigrants poured across the Roman borders: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Franks, Anglos, Saxons, Alemanni, Thuringians, Rugians, Jutes, Picts, Burgundians, Lombards, Alans, Vandals as well as African Berbers and Arab raiders.

Will and Ariel Durant wrote in “The Story of Civilization” (Vol. 3 – Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p. 366): “If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums, if she had treated them as men with a hundred potential excellences, if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion, and might have remained a Roman Rome, the voice and citadel of the West.”
Loss of common language
At first immigrants assimilated and learned the Latin language. They worked as servants, with many rising to leadership. But then they came so fast they did not learn Latin, but instead created a mix of Latin with their own Germanic, Frankish and Anglo tribal tongues. The unity of the Roman Empire began to dissolve.

The welfare state
“Bread and the Circus!” Starting in 123 B.C., the immensely powerful Roman politician Gaius Gracchus began appeasing citizens with welfare, a monthly handout of a free dole (handout) of grain.

Roman poet Juvenal (circa 100 A.D.) described how Roman emperors controlled the masses by keeping them ignorant and obsessed with self-indulgence, so that they would be distracted and not throw them out of office, which they might do if they realized the true condition of the Empire: “Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions – everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.”
The Durants wrote in “The Lessons of History” (p. 92): “The concentration of population and poverty in great cities may compel a government to choose between enfeebling the economy with a dole or running the risk of riot and revolution.”
Welfare and government jobs exploded, as recorded in “Great Ages of Man – Barbarian Europe” (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 39), one Roman commented: “Those who live at the expense of the public funds are more numerous than those who provide them.”
Class warfare
City centers were abandoned by the upper class, who bought up farms from rural landowners and transformed them into palatial estates. The Durants wrote in “The Story of Civilization” (Vol. 3 – Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p.90): “The Roman landowner disappeared now that ownership was concentrated in a few families, and a proletariat without stake in the country filled the slums of Rome.”

Inner cities were destabilized, being also plagued with lead poisoning, as water was brought in through lead pipes. (“Plumb” or “plumbing” is the Latin word for “lead.”)
The value of human life was low. Slavery and sex-trafficking abounded, especially of captured peoples from Eastern Europe. “Slavs,” which meant “glorious,” came to have the inglorious meaning of a permanent servant or “slave.” (“Great Ages,” p. 18)

Taxes
Taxes became unbearable, as “collectors became greedy functionaries in a bureaucracy so huge and corrupt.” Tax collectors were described by the historian Salvian as “more terrible than the enemy.” (“Great Ages,” p. 20).

Arther Ferrill wrote in “The Fall of the Roman Empire: The Military Explanation” (New York: Thames and Hudson Ltd., 1986): “The chief cause of the agricultural decline was high taxation on the marginal land, driving it out of cultivation.”
There was a loss of patriotism, wealth began to flee the empire, and with it, the spirit of liberty. President William Henry Harrison warned in his inaugural address, 1841: “It was the beautiful remark of a distinguished English writer that ‘in the Roman senate Octavius had a party and Antony a party, but the Commonwealth had none’ … The spirit of liberty had fled, and, avoiding the abodes of civilized man, had sought protection in the wilds of Scythia or Scandinavia; and so under the operation of the same causes and influences it will fly from our Capitol and our forums.”
More recently, John F. Kennedy observed, Jan. 6, 1961: “Present tax laws may be stimulating in undue amounts the flow of American capital to industrial countries abroad.”
Outsourcing
Rome’s economy stagnated from a large trade deficit, as grain production was outsourced to North Africa. Gerald Simons wrote in “Great Ages of Man – Barbarian Europe” (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 39): “As conquerors of North Africa, the Vandals cut off the Empire’s grain supply at will. This created critical food shortages, which in turn curtailed Roman counterattacks.”

Debt preceded fall
Emperor Diocletian imposed wage and price controls and forbade people from changing professions. Choking taxes and personal debt caused many to abandon their mortgaged property and flee as ex-pats to live amongst the barbarians, renouncing their Roman citizenship. Diocletian responded by making it illegal to abandon one’s mortgaged property, thus permanently tying people to the land in what became the “feudal system” in the Middle Ages.

Enormous public debt and government bureaucracy crippled Rome’s economy. The Durants wrote in “The Lessons of History” (p. 92): “Huge bureaucratic machinery was unable to govern the empire effectively with the enormous, out-of-control debt.”
In “Great Ages of Man – Barbarian Europe” (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 20), Gerald Simons wrote: “The Western Roman economy, already undermined by falling production of the great Roman estates and an unfavorable balance of trade that siphoned off gold to the East, had now run out of money.”
Self-promoting and corrupt politicians
The Durants wrote in “The Lessons of History” (p. 92): “The educated and skilled pursued business and financial success to the neglect of their involvement in politics.”

Richard A. Todd wrote in “The Fall of the Roman Empire” (Eerdmans’ “Handbook to the History of Christianity,” Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Co., 1977, p. 184): “The church, while preaching against abuses, contributed to the decline by discouraging good Christians from holding public office.”
Violent entertainment
The Circus Maximus and Coliseum were packed with crowds of Romans engrossed with violent entertainment, games, chariot races, and until 404 A.D., gladiators fighting to the death.

Gerald Simons wrote in “Great Ages of Man – Barbarian Europe” (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 20): “In the causal brutality of its public spectacles, in a rampant immorality that even Christianity could not check.”
Exposure of unwanted infants
Roman demographics changed as families had fewer children. Some would sell unwanted children into slavery or leave them outside exposed to the weather to die, as was the practice till 374 A.D.

The Durants wrote in “The Story of Civilization,” Vol. 3 – Caesar and Christ (Simon & Schuster, 1944, p. 134): “Children were now luxuries which only the poor could afford.”
Immorality
Rome was corrupted with court favoritism, the patronage system, injustice in the legal system, infidelity, perverted bathhouses, sexual immorality, gluttony and gymnasiums (“gym” being the Greek word for “naked”).

Fifth century historian Salvian wrote: “For all the lurid Roman tales of their atrocities … the barbarians displayed … a good deal more fidelity to their wives.” (“Great Ages,” p. 13.)
Salvian continued: “O Roman people be ashamed; be ashamed of your lives. Almost no cities are free of evil dens, are altogether free of impurities, except the cities in which the barbarians have begun to live. … Let nobody think otherwise, the vices of our bad lives have alone conquered us. … The Goths lie, but are chaste, the Franks lie, but are generous, the Saxons are savage in cruelty … but are admirable in chastity. … What hope can there be for the Romans when the barbarians are more pure than they?”
Samuel Adams wrote to John Scollay of Boston, April 30, 1776: “The diminution of public virtue is usually attended with that of public happiness, and the public liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals. ‘The Roman Empire,’ says the historian, ‘must have sunk, though the Goths had not invaded it. Why? Because the Roman virtue was sunk.’”
Military cuts
Though militarily superior and marching on advanced road systems, the highly-trained Roman legions were strained fighting conflicts from the Rhine River to the Sassanid Persian Empire. Roman borders were over-extended and the military defending them was cut back to dangerously low ranks.

The Durants wrote in “The Story of Civilization” (Vol. 3 – Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p.90): “The new generation, having inherited world mastery, had no time or inclination to defend it; that readiness for war which had characterized the Roman landowner disappeared.”
Terrorist attacks
Called the “Scourge of God,” Attila the Hun was thought to be the anti-Christ, as he devastated Europe with his half-million warriors.

Aquileia, one of the largest cities in the world at the time, was so completely destroyed that inhabitants ran into the ocean, hammered down logs and lived on platforms which grew into the city of Venice.
Ste. Genevieve called Paris to pray in 451 A.D., and for some reason Attila turned aside, sparing the city.
Pope Leo rode out to meet Attila in 452 A.D. and persuaded him not to sack Rome, delaying the city’s fall 24 more years.
Finally the barbarian Chieftain Odoacer attacked. Rome is considered to have officially fallen on Sept. 4, 476 A.D.

Netanyahu Concedes Defeat: Bombing Iran Is No Longer an Option

Netanyahu Concedes Defeat: Bombing Iran Is No Longer an Option

If Netanyahu is found to be the “the great Satan” in the political sphere, how about his puppets in the United States and elsewhere? Should they be named Satan’s kids as well?


Netanyaho
“You mean I can’t summon lies and fabrications anymore to attack Iran? And you mean nearly 100,000 people want me to be arrested in the UK? Headache.”

 

…by Jonas E. Alexis


Oh, dear. Netanyahu, the man who has numerous covert agents and political assassins in the United States (Mike Hukabee, John McCain, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, etc.), is shifting gear. He is on the move.
Netanyahu taught his disciples that Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Those disciples quickly began to repeat the words of their master almost verbatim. Dick Cheney, one of the most lying liars in the twenty-first century, has recently written that
“Under Khomeini, Iran became the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, targeting the United States, our allies, and our interests around the world.”[1]
The scholarly source for this extraordinary claim? It was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, we have enough evidence indicating that Iran has fought against terrorism.[2] The irony is that under Zionism, the United States has had a long history of supporting and abetting terrorism, and this is all done in the name of “war on terror.” Don’t believe me? Let us look at a recent example.

"Working for the Zionists really pays. You get to hang out with chicks, pass classified information, and still get away with it. Thank God that I am not Edward Snowden."
“Working for the Zionists really pays. You get to hang out with chicks, pass out classified information, and still get away with it. Thank God that I am not Edward Snowden.”

Former head of the CIA David Petraeus has recently posited that the United States has to make a sort of diabolical deal with Al-Qaeda in order to defeat ISIS. Listen to the Daily Beast:
“Members of al Qaeda’s branch in Syria have a surprising advocate in the corridors of American power: retired Army general and former CIA Director David Petraeus.
“The former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan has been quietly urging U.S. officials to consider using so-called moderate members of al Qaeda’s Nusra Front to fight ISIS in Syria, four sources familiar with the conversations, including one person who spoke to Petraeus directly…”[3]
The Daily Beast itself says that Petraeus seemed to have underestimated the monster which the Zionist regime has created:
“The tactic worked, at least temporarily. But al Qaeda in Iraq was later reborn as ISIS, and has become the sworn enemy of its parent organization. Now, Petraeus is returning to his old play, advocating a strategy of co-opting rank-and-file members of al Nusra, particularly those who don’t necessarily share all of core al Qaeda’s Islamist philosophy.”[4]
This is really confusing because “In 2012, the Obama administration designated al Nusra a foreign terrorist organization. And last year, the president ordered airstrikes on al Nusra positions housing members of the Khorasan Group, an al Qaeda cadre that was trying to recruit jihadists with Western passports to smuggle bombs onto civilian airliners.”[5]
It gets even more pathetic because Petraeus
“still wields considerable influence with current officials, U.S. lawmakers, and foreign leaders. The fact that he feels comfortable recruiting defectors from an organization that has declared war on the United States underscores the tenuous nature of the Obama administration’s strategy to fight ISIS, which numerous observers have said is floundering in search of a viable ground force.”[6]
Remember that Petraeus was caught passing classified information to his mistress. According to the law, Petraeus ought to be behind bars. Yet since he works for the Zionist regime, he “still wields considerable influence with current officials, U.S. lawmakers, and foreign leaders.”
So, the logic is pretty clear here. Edward Snowden passed classified information to other parties and the Zionist regime wants his head on a silver platter. Petreus did something similar, and he still gets to hold his position. This is certainly disgusting.

So, when I read Cheney’s earlier statement, I really thought that someone should have doused him with a bucket of water. Cheney must remember that it was not Iran that trained terrorist groups such as the MEK in Nevada. It was actually the Bush administration.

 
In short, we can ignore Cheney’s new book in our discussion here, since lies and fabrications are its fundamental premises.
I wonder what Cheney would say to his political boss Benjamin Netanyahu, who now isn’t moving toward aggressive expansion with respect to the Iran deal. Netanyahu seems to be recanting from many of his bombastic and acerbic speeches. Previously, he thought really deep about bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities. In fact, he was planning to do exactly that in 2010 and 2011?[7] But now he seems to be taking somewhat a modest views. Listen to him carefully:
“Allow me to make clear that Israel is not opposed to a civilian nuclear program in Iran. We are opposed to a militarized nuclear program in Iran.”[8]
Netanyahu obviously has good reason to back off. Almost 100,000 people have signed a petition at the UK Parliament’s website calling for his arrest. There is more. A few weeks ago, Israeli writer Bradley Burston has lamented that Israel has finally become an apartheid state.[9] And then this:
“A US congresswoman has asked the State Department to investigate whether the killing of two Palestinian teenagers by Israeli security forces last year would preclude Israel from receiving military aid under American law.”[10]
So, Netanyahu fears that the world is finally waking up. But his seemingly conceding statement above still does not make any sense. If he truly believes it, then what was all that talk about Iran getting closer and closer to nuclear bombs? Why did he not clarify this issue from the very beginning? Why did he and the Israeli regime spend years brainwashing much of the West and saying that Iran was simply weeks and months away from getting nuclear bombs?[11] Why did the Israeli regime ask the U.S. to give them a green light to bomb Iran in 2008?[12]
Moreover, why did Netanyahu convince dancing puppets like Sarah Palin, who were more than willing to chantbomb Iran”? Isn’t that a sign of madness? Didn’t Netanyahu, as former C.I.A. agent Paul R. Pillar pointed out, “center much of his political career on fear-mongering about Iran”?[13]



Perhaps the real prophet here is E. Michael Jones, who said last July that “After 36 years of failure, the American empire now seems determined to lure Iran back into the fold by proffering carrots rather than wielding sticks.”[14]

I do have many disagreements with the Obama administration, but one can safely say that the administration played a crucial role in destabilizing Netanyahu’s project with respect to Iran. As we have noted in the past, it began with calling Netanyahu “a chickenshit.” The Atlantic quickly saw that it was a historic moment. The Atlantic titled one of their articles: “The Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Is Officially Here.”[15] Jeffrey Goldberg himself said then:
“Over the years, Obama administration officials have described Netanyahu to me as recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and ‘Aspergery.’ (These are verbatim descriptions; I keep a running list.)  But I had not previously heard Netanyahu described as a ‘chickenshit.’”[16]
Moreover, the Obama administration refused to meet with Netanyahu and members of his cabinet on numerous occasions. This obviously indicated that the administration was getting tired of Netanyahu’s nonsense. Joshua Keating of Slate wrote that
“a ‘pro-Israel congressional aide’ told Foreign Policy’s John Hudson, ‘There is a limit to how much you can shit all over the White House and expect to get every meeting you want.’”[17]
But long before the Atlantic came out with the report last year, talking heads in Washington knew pretty well that Obama had a history of humiliating Netanyahu (for good reasons). For example, the Telegraph reported in 2010:
“The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
“The Israeli prime minister arrived at the White House on Tuesday evening brimming with confidence that the worst of the crisis in his country’s relationship with the United States was over.
“Over the previous two days, he had been feted by senior Republicans and greeted warmly by members of Congress. He had also received a standing ovation from the American Israel Public Affairs Affairs Committee, one of the most influential lobby groups in the United States.
“But Mr Obama was less inclined to be so conciliatory. He immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a previously-made call to halt all new settlement construction in east Jerusalem.
“When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr Obama rose from his seat declaring: ‘I’m going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls.’
“As he left, Mr Netanyahu was told to consider the error of his ways. ‘I’m still around,’ Mr Obama is quoted by Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper as having said. ‘Let me know if there is anything new.’”[18]
So, Obama was basically saying,
“The United States is giving you billions upon billions of dollars every year and you’re spending that money on things we do not like, such as the Settlement? Well, I’m going to have dinner with my family, but you are not invited. And then I have to put my children to bed.[19]
“Just give me a call if you change your mind about the Settlement. If you still stand by what you said, then think about the title my administration has given you. It is still on the back of our mind, and you need to get used to that title, Bro.”
Netanyahu certainly was not expecting this blowback in 2015. As we shall see in the next article, he has also received an implicit rebuke from Vladimir Putin as well. Netanyahu is the epitome of what Hegel would have called “the cunning of reason.”
In other words, reason, not Netanyahu or the Zionist regime or the Neo-Bolsheviks in America, will inevitably win the war for the minds and hearts of men everywhere. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn put it:
“Our way must be: never knowingly support lies! Having understood where the lies begin—step back from that gangrenous edge! Let us not glue back the flaking scale of the Ideology, not gather back its crumbling bones, nor patch together its decomposing garb, and we will be amazed how swiftly and helplessly the lies will fall away, and that which is destined to be naked will be exposed as such to the world.”[20]

Debka: Russia gearing up to be first world power to insert ground forces into Syria

Debka: Russia gearing up to be first world power to insert ground forces into Syria


 Part of channel(s): Syria (current event)
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 1, 2015, 9:35 PM (IDT)

I WONDER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS INFORMATION, PLS HAVE A READ AND PARTICIPATE IN THE POLL. THANKS!

Despite strong denials from Moscow, Russian airborne troops are
preparing to land in Syria to fight Islamic State forces. The surprise
attack on Monday, Aug. 31, by ISIS forces on the Qadam district of
southern Damascus, in which they took over parts of the district - and
brought ISIS forces the closest that any Syrian anti-Assad group has
ever been to the center of the Syrian capital - is expected to
accelerate the Russian military intervention.

Moscow is certainly not ready to endanger the position of President
Bashar Assad or his rule in Damascus, and views it as a red line that
cannot be crossed. If Russia intervenes militarily in this way, Russia
will be the first country from outside the Middle East to send ground
forces into the Syrian civil war.

debkafile’s
military sources report that discussions by the Russo-Syrian Military
Commission, which was established last month in Moscow to coordinate the
intervention, accelerated during the last few days.

Our intelligence sources point out that the concerted activities of
the commission are taking place amid the nearly complete paralysis of
the US Central Command-Forward-Jordan (CCFJ), where operations against
the rebels in southern Syria, including those holding positions across
from Israel’s Golan, are coordinated. Officers from Jordan, Saudi
Arabia, Qatar and Israel are attached to the CCFJ.

Most of the operations of the CCFJ have been halted due to a conflict
that erupted between the Syrian rebels and the U.S. Central Command,
CENTCOM. The US military is opposed to the rebels cooperating with
Al-Qaeda-linked groups, such as the Al-Nusra front, while the rebels
claim that this cannot be avoided if they are to defeat the forces of
Bashar Assad and Hizballah.

The paralysis of the CCFJ is spurring the Russians to try to show
that their “central command” for Syria is operating without any
difficulties.

In recent weeks, the Russians have taken four military steps related to Syria:



1. On Aug. 18, six of Russia’s advanced MIG-31 Foxhound interceptor
aircraft landed at the Syrian Air Force’s Mezze Airbase, which is the
military section of Damascus international airport. After the fighters
landed, they were immediately followed by giant Russian Antonov AN-124
Condor cargo planes carrying 1,000 of Russia’s 9M133 Kornet anti-tank
missiles.

The advanced jets are intended to serve as air support for the Russian units that arrive in Syria.



2. Before the Russian planes landed in Damascus, Moscow reached an
agreement with Washington for the removal of NATO’s Patriot missile
batteries from Turkey. The removal was carried out gradually during the
month of August, thus preventing the possibility that NATO Patriot
missiles could hit Russian fighters carrying out operations in Syrian
airspace.

3. During the last week of August, a large number of Russian troops,
mostly logistical teams whose job is to lay the groundwork for the
arrival of the combat units, arrived in Syria. The troops were seen in
Damascus and in Jablah district of Lattakia province, where the Russian
forces are building a military base.

4. Our intelligence sources also report that Moscow has started to
supply Damascus with satellite imagery of the ground situation on the
different fronts.

debkafile’s
military and intelligence sources report that all of these preparatory
steps by Moscow for the introduction of ground forces are being carried
out in coordination with Washington and Tehran.

The more that the three capitals tighten their coordination in
support of Assad, the sooner the Russian intervention is expected to
take place.

“No longer are national priorities dominated by superpowers and nation states, but increasingly by loose networks of terrorists, transnational criminals, and other non-state actors within the “human domain.” As we have shifted into the new generation of warfare, the operational environment has evolved into a global operational environment favoring anonymous individuals who easily transform from citizen to enemy and back with limited logistical support or control.” (page 2)
Those are just a few of the MANY disturbing quotes discovered in this recently released 13 page report titled Identity Operations For Strategic Landpower: Mastering The Human Domain. The report was compiled by a group of government employed personnel who believe the real enemy lies from within rather than from other countries. Implying that their agenda is to target any political dissidents, patriots, Christians, constitutionalists, veterans, and any they deem as terrorists.  

What makes this document stand out above the others is the fact that it was published in March 2014—though not released until August of this year—which means it pre-dates the Jade Helm “Mastering the Human Domain” drill by a little over a year. Therefore it is likely to assume the “mastering the human domain” idea originated from the document you are about to see in the video below!

I HIGHLY URGE you to watch it in its entirety. The quotes above and below are only a FRAGMENT of what the document harbors, and quite frankly it contains some pretty frightening information. But I must warn you, what you are about to discover will literally change your view of whats happening around us, and it will make your blood boil with anger.  

Please, please don’t miss this one… 



So how exactly do they plan on “Mastering the Human Domain"?  


- Identify an unknown individual during tactical operations
- Track a person of interest
- Control physical access
- Share identity information

Furthermore… 

Providing land force commanders and other decision-makers with robust and enduring Identity capabilities are necessary to combat future threats in these complex environments. Leadership considerations for Identity within the human domain include:

- Use of the enhanced capabilities to identify and classify the human domain; to determine whether they are adversarial, friendly, neutral, or unknown.

- Use of all-source intelligence analysts to provide back-end analysis and reporting to fuse the many sources of information (much received through operational reporting) regarding the human domain in order to identify individual(s) and their intent. Based upon risk, use of Identity data (and its fusion with other information and intelligence), will enhance force protection for bases, installations, detainee and checkpoint operations, as well as many other mission sets.

- Use of the enhanced capabilities to identify and manage local populations during major combat, stability, and humanitarian assistance and/or disaster relief operations.

Judge urges quick action in NSA-spying challenge

Judge urges quick action in NSA-spying challenge

'The clock is running and there isn't much time'


Larry Klayman

Warning he would not allow the government’s spying on millions of Americans through their cell phones to continue unfettered, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday indicated he’s anxious to move forward quickly in a case that challenges the National Security Agency’s program.
The lawsuit was brought by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, who waited nearly two years for an appellate court ruling following the initial ruling in 2013 by Judge Richard Leon that the program likely was unconstitutional and nearly “Orwellian.”
Klayman told WND after Wednesday’s hearing that the judge advised him to request an expedited mandate from the appellate court and said he could “proceed right now.” Klayman said the judge also advised him to amend the complaint to address concerns raised by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
The judge said he would not let the spying continue.
In a blog at Politico, Josh Gerstein said that in an hour-long hearing, Leon repeatedly urged Klayman to take steps to allow the case to move forward quickly by asking a federal appeals court to formally relinquish control over the appeal.
The NSA program, which collects in bulk data on phone calls, is scheduled to shut down at the end of November because of a change made by Congress. Lawmakers ordered a transition to a new procedure in which telephone companies will collect the data and make it available to the government rather than having the government do the collecting.
“The clock is running and there isn’t much time between now and November 29,” Leon told Klayman, Gerstein reported. “This court believes there are millions and millions of Americans whose constitutional rights have been and are being violated, but the window … for action is very small. … It’s time to move.”
Klayman also told WND the judge instructed Justice Department attorneys to make sure they were available at a moment’s notice when he wants to move on the case.
Support attorney Larry Klayman as he mobilizes millions of freedom-loving Americans from all over the country to stop President Obama’s spying on U.S. citizens and to preserve our freedoms!
Leon issued an injunction halting the NSA program in 2013, but he stayed it while the government appealed.
Two years later, Klayman has gone back to Leon asking him to lift the stay and impose the injunction because of the recalcitrant appeals court.
Just days ago, that court moved to overturn the injunction because Klayman had not shown his data specifically had been taken by the government. But the court also allowed Leon to rule on discovery in the case.
Leon pointedly noted the appeals court did not undermine his determination that the program likely is unconstitutional.
According to a report in National Law Journal, the appeals court had cited the complaint’s reference to Verizon Wireless, when the government data program was set up to address Verizon Business Services.
Klayman told WND he would be seeking the right customer of that network to add to the amended complaint.
Leon also warned the government he would be unhappy with any evidence that they were trying to “run the clock out” on the case.
A large part of the case is over the NSA program’s secrecy. The appeals court said the plaintiffs couldn’t specifically prove their own telephone records were seized by the government, so they couldn’t sue.
But they cannot obtain access to such evidence without a case pending.
Klayman said the case was the result of whistleblower Edward Snowden’s revelations about the government’s secret spying on Americans.
In a recent commentary for WND, Klayman explained that the appellate judges, David Sentelle, Janice Rogers Brown and Steven Williams, are allowing Leon to review whether discovery supports the idea “the NSA had actually accessed Verizon cell phone telephonic records and whether we had sued the correct Verizon company.”
He quoted from the earlier ruling from Leon, who said, “The NSA has collected and analyzed [plaintiffs'] telephony metadata and will continue to operate the program consistent with FISC opinions and orders.”
Klayman accused the appeals court of acting politically, rather than judicially, and explained the NSA “was forced to reveal … that the intelligence agencies routinely use their spy programs to spy on innocent Americans and presumable coerce them into doing what the government wants.”
Klayman told WND he’s confident of prevailing “ultimately.”
No matter what else results, he said, people are now engaged in the issue and watching the judges for their opinions.
Leon’s 2013 ruling said the NSA program appears to run afoul of the Fourth Amendment, and the Justice Department failed to show that collecting the metadata on telephone calls helped to stop terrorist attacks.
Snowden blew the whistle on the agency’s vacuum-cleaner approach to data collection, called “bulk telephony metadata.” That was earlier in 2013, and Snowden has been living in exile in Russia as a wanted man by the U.S. government ever since.
Two of America’s influential civil-rights groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have sided with Klayman.
The data that the NSA collects, they explained in a brief, “reveals political affiliation, religious practices and peoples’ most intimate associations.”
“It reveals who calls a suicide prevention line and who calls their elected official; who calls the local tea-party office and who calls Planned Parenthood.”
The brief said “the relevant fact for whether an expectation of privacy exists is that the comprehensive telephone records the government collects – not just the records of a few calls over a few days but all of a person’s calls over many years – reveals highly personal information about the person and her life.”

Pentagon Treason, Hoax Number 3 Today Alone

Pentagon Treason, Hoax Number 3 Today Alone

From Israel's "Daily Beast," attempts to blame Assad for Turkish gas shells

fff_991
Turkish intelligence unit firing poison gas into Syria

The Pentagon sent this article out to all military, members of congress and military retirees in their Early Bird “best of the news.”  There have been nothing but hoaxes and lies coming out of the Pentagon now indicating that those running the Pentagon’s news service are in the pay of a foreign government.
All of this has been timed to “put the ketchup back in the bottle” after the huge defeat Israel suffered yesterday in American politics.
Here is what can be proven to be true:
  • Chemical weapons used in Syria, including Sarin gas, came from an Defense Department facility in Tbilisi, Georgia.  We have witness statements, photographs, plans for the labs, all published in Russia and the US include a television documentary seen around the world.
  • Turkish authorities have repeatedly found chemical weapons facilities inside Turkey that supply ISIS and her “sisters.”  Turkey’s intelligence agencies have quashed investigations but they have still been widely reported.
  • On the other hand, the Syrian Human Rights Observatory, source for these stories has been exposed as being financed by Radio Liberty and the CIA and managed by Booz Allen Hamilton, a CIA contractor.  We have repeatedly found the SHRO operating with ISIS forces including recently inside Syria where their offices were above an underground chemical weapons storage facility.
We now call for an investigation of Pentagon complicity in a psychological warfare operation in support of the Islamic State, the SHRO and the use of chemical weapons against the Kurdish, Iraqi and Syrian people.
One last point:  We have absolute proof that the Pentagon has no intelligence capabilities in either Syria and Iraq and actually receives its intelligence from ISIS press releases.  If only I were making this up.
Seems like they are too busy tapping our phones here and scaring the poor Texans with Jade Helm.  This is why, wek before last, the Pentagon was charged with supplying congress and the president “cooked” intelligence on the Middle East.
It is treason.
The article below is from the Daily Beast, owned by Jane Harmon, former member of congress and accused Israeli spy.  Look that one up.

Where Did ISIS Get Its Chemical Weapons?
The terror group is suspected of using mustard gas in a series of recent attacks, and a notorious Dutch jihadi says it’s from Assad’s stockpile. But U.S. officials beg to differ.
An infamous Dutch soldier turned ISIS fighter says the group has acquired chemical weapons once belonging to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, resurrecting fears that what was supposed to be the regime’s destroyed program has instead fallen into jihadi hands.“The regime uses chemical warfare on a regular basis these days, and nobody bats an eye—yet when [ISIS] captures it from them and uses it against them it’s all of a sudden a huge problem?”
ISIS fighter Omar Yilmaz, 27, said in a Tumblr post. “Fight them the way they fight you.”The post marks the first time a public ISIS figure has declared that the group obtained chemical weapons from the Assad regime. And it comes just days after the first series of suspected ISIS mustard gas attacks in northern Iraq and Syria.
On Tuesday, Kurdish forces said ISIS fired a homemade rocket filled with chemical weapons at peshmerga forces. In a suspected Aug. 21 attack in the northern Syrian city of Marea, at least 25 people were contaminated. And on Aug. 13, Kurdish officials in Iraq said 60 peshmerga were exposed to mustard gas in the northern Iraqi city of Makhmour. Pentagon officials believe there is credible evidence that mustard gas could indeed have been used in the two August strikes.

Amazing knowledge here from "Mike" from around the
 
world. A retired Dept of Defense employee having a 
 
dialogue open discussion interview with an American
 
youtube preacher, Bagley, gives insight on some
 
amazing knowledge, such as 
 
- unknown weapon tech the world governments have 
 
that control black matter, 
 
- spiritual deception that causes chaos and murder, and 
 
- breakdowns all over the world wherever they point or 
 
put this weapon technology
 
- CERN, the opening of portals to bring in satan and his 
 
demonic kingdom in the last days of the great 
 
tribulation which we are so close to right now.
 
If you're filled with the Holy Spirit and a Born Again 
 
Christian, a follower of Christ saved by His blood, you 
 
know you can discern and can deduce these end time
 
signs, events and prophesy coming true every day.
 
God bless.  Thanks for watching.
