America has been BRAIN WASHED ---- per reader opinion

I keep seeing posts on your blog about undocumented immigrants and I just can't take it any more.  You need to know the truth and your readers need to know the truth.

 

Do you realize that you are buying into the brainwashing being conducted by our government and the big corporations that own and run our government?  Yes you are and you don’t even realize it!

What is this brainwashing you are buying into whole heartedly without even realizing it?  Well let me just open your eyes.

Our government and the big corporations that own and run our government began a big push with a propaganda theme and it has been going full swing for at least 15 years.  The majority of Americans have bought this lie hook-line-and sinker and you are still believing it today.  What is this big lie you are being told and believing? That undocumented immigrants are responsible for taking away all your jobs.  That’s right that is a BIG LIE and you don’t even know the truth so let me give you some facts to back this up.

What is happening is that big corporations, those responsible for more than 1/5^th of all our middle class jobs, have been and continue to send those jobs overseas.  Here is a quote from Plunkett Research, a leading research group on outsourcing and offshoring practices.  Offshoring refers to:

The tendency among many U.S., Japanese and Western European firms to send both knowledge-based and manufacturing work to third-party firms in other nations. Often, the intent is to take advantage of lower wages and operating costs.

Our government is assisting these big companies to hide the real figures because when asked the Congressional Research Service said they do not have this information because it is, “not designed to link employment gains or losses in the United States, either for individual jobs, individual companies or in the aggregate, with the gains and losses of jobs abroad.”  Isn’t that convenient for them?

Notwithstanding that coverup, the US Department of Commerce showed that “U.S. multinational corporations, the big brand-name companies that employ a fifth of all American workers… cut their work forces in the U.S. by 2.9 million during the 2000s while increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million.”  A  report on outsourcing by Working America stated that, “Manufacturing employment collapsed from a high of 19.5 million workers in June 1979 to 11.5 workers in December 2009, a drop of 8 million workers over 30 years. Between August 2000 and February 2004, manufacturing jobs were lost for a stunning 43 consecutive months—the longest such stretch since the Great Depression.”  Imagine that over 8 million jobs shipped overseas between 1979 and 2004!

Do you see why these big corporations don’t want you to know the truth?  OK, so is our government involved in this fiasco?  Well as Seth Hanlon explains, our government “rewards companies for making investments abroad—and leads to them shifting offices, factories, and jobs abroad even if similar investments in the United States would be more profitable absent tax considerations.”  Why would they do that you ask?  Because the big corporations that own our government have paid to get legislation passed that is in their favor.  Our government is just a puppet on a string for the big corporations that run the world. 

So with all this going on they knew that if the American people discovered what they were REALLY doing we would be pissed as hell so they created a diversion.  They focused our attention on undocumented immigrants and painted them as the problem.  Do you honestly believe that of the however many undocumented immigrants living here they are the ones who have taken over 10 million of our middle class jobs since 1979?  Have you changed jobs lately?  Do you remember the mountain of documentation you had to present showing your citizenship just so that you could get that job?  How are all those millions of jobs being taken by undocumented immigrants when they can no more provide all that documentation than fly to the moon, even if some have access to forgeries?  No folks we have all been hoodwinked by our very own government.  Undocumented immigrants are not the problem to our unemployment, or any of the other woes that have been placed at their doorstep.  Our problem is big corporations who do not care about anything but profits.

So the next time you want to say something bad about why your lifestyle has gone down, or you lost your job or anything else that you want to blame on undocumented immigrants, think twice because more than likely you are simply repeating a lie that you have been brainwashed into believing by the propaganda campaign put out by those big corporations and our government that are sending all our jobs overseas.

You wake up every working day with that same palpable sense of dread that’s become all too familiar. Your job sucks, your life sucks, you’re miserable. Naked and half-asleep you flop into your desk chair and startup your laptop; you check your e-mail, Facebook and read the latest on Viral Soma. There you see a link to an article about offices that are so awesome you’d rather be working than playing golf. You click on the link, read the article and make the call you’ve been putting off for years; “Mr. Johnston, this is Phil from accounting…I quit!” Selgas Cano is an architecture firm based in Madrid, Spain. This office is basically a giant half-pipe in the ground in the middle of a forest, addressing the emotional needs of employees.

Holly Deyo stops posting regular news & says "Time is Short......." (Letter)

Holly Deyo stops posting regular news & says "Time is Short......." (Letter)

From Stan and Holly Deyo's site, www.standeyo.com - her letter.

Dear Friends,

Yesterday, was my final news posting on a daily basis, but may post things of particular interest a few times a week. To some of you, this will be a surprise. To friends, you knew this was coming. Burnout. Frankly, you can read every single piece of news we post from various new agencies. It just takes about 6 hours a day to scurry around, see what's important and ferret out if it's junk or not. That is the real work.

Every day it's effortless to find news articles that fill Hall of Shame and Crazyville – often more than what fits regular news categories. What does that say? It becomes ever more clear humanity is in deep trouble. We have abdicated Christ and decency, and opted for the shady side of life. In researching news, this has been a huge personal wake-up and shows exactly where we are in prophecy. Approaching the End Of Days.

Time is short. War is coming in our seemingly peaceful world. The New World Order will impose its rule. A market and USD crash is imminent. Things you can only envision in your worst nightmares are waiting if you've read our news. Dissension is here. War between the people and government is clashing. Where this goes, anarchy follows. Never has there been such a time, not since 1774 when government generated such disgust and sometimes – downright hatred.

The Bundy debacle spells it clearly. You must prepare your family and friends, and wake up neighbors as it will be about those who band together as one with purpose. We have arrived at 2 Timothy 3:1-4 that says: "There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."

The world has arrived in general and America in particular.

We have family and friends that we need to prepare. People are willfully snoozing. I have written about these times for 2 decades now, in a free daily newsletter for 5 years, in books and commentaries and articles on our websites. No one who is a regular visitor can say they haven't been encouraged to prepare on both spiritual and physical levels. Stan is much better at preparing folks on the spiritual level. The two us research and write in various areas; we make a good team. We fill in each other's gaps. Yet, you can't have one without the other.

I am worn out – to a firecracker fizzle – and need time and space beyond 5 weeks off. I didn't recognize this complete depletion till last night in the kitchen. Yes, that sounds silly, but in Oprah's terms it was an 'aha' moment. I'm not about to suck down drugs or booze for escape, so time off it is.

We wish and pray for you the best and the most complete life in Christ. Time is very short so there's not a lot of point wasting it on posting news. Enjoy your family. Appreciate lovingly, your spouse. Don't pick apart minutia that bugs you. It matters not. Instead, thank God you have the most wonderful partner in the world. Forgive people and let silly stuff fall by the wayside. In the grand scheme of things, it's not important.

In time remaining, Stan has just weeks to prepare his lecture for the prophesy conference in Colorado Springs this July and I will get to breathe in 'real life' like I haven't done for many years. Stan will continue to give interviews and lectures, which will be announced at the top of this column like always. I will continue to research and write – and maybe post news of import occasionally.

There's one last article in the gardening series to finish and it will be posted here.

Whether or not to resume full-time news posting will be re-examined at the end of Summer. Maybe by then, the picture will be clearer.

In these latter days, I have two books waiting to be written, but it's impossible to write with few hours a day to dedicate and with a heart weighted down by 'news'. These are important books, which will be encouraging, an uplift, something far more valuable that posting distressing, depressing events. Anyone can do that. There is a time for warning, which we have done for 20 years, and then a time for encouraging people in the battles we must meet. That time has come.

Please feel free to write, ask questions, whatever you need. We are here. Our door is open. We have not deserted you, but are treading that last path. May God be with you and protect you. Maranatha!

Be blessed in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He IS coming soon! BELIEVE IT!FEEL IT! KNOW IT! Christ comes soon. —Holly

Federal Fire Power: Instead of putting a lien on the property of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, the Bureau of Land Management surrounded his ranch with 200 armed agents. It's not the only agency with a private army. Back in 2008, candidate Barack Obama slipped a little-noticed line in a speech, proposing a national police force reporting straight to him. "We cannot continue to rely only on our military," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." As our military is slowly decimated by his policies and budget cuts — and with federal agencies armed to the teeth — we may be seeing what he had in mind at the ranch of a 67-year-old Nevadan. Agents of a federal agency that many Americans were surprised to see so heavily armed even herded American citizens into "First Amendment zones," another surprise to those who thought the Constitution made the entire U.S. such a zone. "The government's option," said Fox News contributor and former Judge Andrew Napolitano, "is to take the amount of money (Bundy) owes them and docket it — that is, file the lien on his property. The federal government could have done that. "Instead, they wanted this show of force. They swooped in . . . with assault rifles aimed and ready and stole this guy's property, they stole his cattle. They didn't have the right to do that. That's theft, and they should have been arrested by state officials." The Environmental Protection Agency also has a private army. In late August 2013, armed EPA agents joined agents of the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force and swarmed gold mines near Chicken in the Last Frontier State. In groups of four to eight, they even wore body armor and carried guns while investigating a supposed violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. That raid drew attention to the fact that some federal agencies, including the Library of Congress and the Federal Reserve Board, have divisions employing armed officers. Other federal agencies participating in the operation were the Fish and Wildlife Service, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Park Service and, yes, Bureau of Land Management. That's right: NOAA, whose dangerous job is to forecast the weather, monitor the atmosphere and keep tabs on the oceans and waterways, has its own law enforcement division. It has a budget of $65 million and consists of 191 employees, including 96 special agents and 28 enforcement officers who carry weapons. Why does a weather service need ammunition? We have pointed out the massive purchase of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security that's estimated to provide DHS a thousand more rounds per agent than soldiers in the Army. But DHS is not alone. Some 70 federal agencies, including those not associated with national security or crime fighting, employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests, according to a June 2012 Justice Department report. The Agriculture Department recently put in a request for 320,000 rounds. Not long ago, the Social Security Administration put in a request for 174,000 rounds of ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow-point" ammo. NOAA put in a request for 46,000 rounds. "We're seeing a highly unusual amount of ammunition being bought by the federal agencies over a fairly short period of time," said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Washington-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep & Bear Arms. "To be honest, I don't understand why the federal government is buying so much at this time." Maybe we can ask Cliven Bundy.

Bix Weir: Bundy Ranch: Just Another Lesson From the Good Guys

Bix Weir: Bundy Ranch: Just Another Lesson From the Good Guys

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Jean

Like most major events in the past 5 years the ongoing events at Bundy Ranch have a much bigger agenda than what is on the surface.
Sure, I have heard all the potential meanings of these events from the Conspiracy crowd such as clearing the land for a solar panel farm, securing water rights, a test of our acceptance of Marshall Law and even preparing for a Chinese occupation and there were many more. For each reason there is a string of strange connections that PROVE these reasons to the the REAL REASON for the standoff.
Many have pointed to Harry Reid as being deeply involved…which he is OF COURSE!
But that’s where it dawned on me what was REALLY going on in Nevada. Just as the strange false flags over guns, missing planes and the loss of our liberties seem to point us in one direction the ramifications and actions taken after these events help identify the true agenda.
Take the “Disarming America” issue. Many people point to all the mass murder false flag events as a reason to confiscate the guns from Americans. Even the reports of the Government buying up all the bullets to disarm the people most say is our government trying to take us over.
But what actually happens every time there is a big push to take the guns?
- PEOPLE FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
- GUNS SALES GO THROUGH THE ROOF
- BULLET SALES GO THROUGH THE ROOF
- NO SIGNIFICANT NEW GUN LAWS ARE PASSED…EVER!
Basically, every time the Government claims to have a reason to go after people’s guns the population LOADS UP!
It’s almost as if…IT IS BEING DONE ON PURPOSE TO ARM THE POPULATION!
I believe the SAME THING is going on in Nevada.
Clues can be found in the way the situation is being handled by the Government. After a 20 year battle with the Bundy Family why does the Federal Government throw massive military power behind this situation NOW? Why did they rope off areas to coral protesters with big signs that said “FIRST AMENDMENT AREA” as if everywhere else is not one? Why has Harry Reid come out and said “This isn’t over” clearly provoking the ire and resolve of those involved?
When you stand back it all becomes very clear. Like most false flag type events these days – we are being taught LESSONS. A lesson to prepare us for the coming battle for our Freedom. A lesson about State Rights vs Federal Rights. A lesson to energize our CIVILIAN MILITIAS and show them that they CAN WIN and should be ready to be called into action. A lesson for WE THE PEOPLE that we really DO have the power to stand up to the Federal Government and say “NO MORE” when they try to trample our rights!
Watch for the Bundy Ranch issue to be escalated once again by Reid and the Feds only causing the response by WE THE PEOPLE to grow.
This CAN be a huge turning point for our nation if it plays out…as planned.
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.

PressTV: Washington drives the world to war, by Paul Craig Roberts

PressTV: Washington drives the world to war, by Paul Craig Roberts

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Jean

CIA director John Brennen

Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:22PM GMT

By Paul Craig Roberts

Related Interviews:

• ‘Russia seeks political solution in Kiev’
• ‘Ukraine junta may spark civil war’

The CIA director was sent to Kiev to launch a military suppression of the Russian separatists in the eastern and southern portions of Ukraine, former Russian territories for the most part that were foolishly attached to the Ukraine in the early years of Soviet rule.
Washington’s plan to grab Ukraine overlooked that the Russian and Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine were not likely to go along with their insertion into the EU and NATO while submitting to the persecution of Russian speaking peoples.  Washington has lost Crimea, from which Washington intended to eject Russia from its Black Sea naval base. Instead of admitting that its plan for grabbing Ukraine has gone amiss, Washington is unable to admit a mistake and, therefore, is pushing the crisis to more dangerous levels.
If Ukraine dissolves into secession with the former Russian territories reverting to Russia, Washington will be embarrassed that the result of its coup in Kiev was to restore the Russian provinces of Ukraine to Russia.  To avoid this embarrassment, Washington is pushing the crisis toward war.
The CIA director instructed Washington’s hand-picked stooge government in Kiev to apply to the United Nations for help in repelling “terrorists” who with alleged Russian help are allegedly attacking Ukraine. In Washington’s vocabulary, self-determination is a sign of Russian interference. As the UN is essentially a Washington-financed organization, Washington will get what it wants.
The Russian government has already made it completely clear some weeks ago that the use of violence against protesters in eastern and southern Ukraine would compel the Russian government to send in the Russian army to protect Russians, just as Russia had to do in South Ossetia when Washington instructed its Georgian puppet ruler to attack Russian peacekeeping troops and Russian residents of South Ossetia.
Washington knows that the Russian government cannot stand aside while one of Washington’s puppet states attacks Russians.  Yet, Washington is pushing the crisis to war.
The danger for Russia is that the Russian government will rely on diplomacy, international organizations, international cooperation, and on the common sense and self-interest of German politicians and politicians in other of Washington’s European puppet states.
For Russia this could be a fatal mistake. There is no good will in Washington, only mendacity. Russian delay provides Washington with time to build up forces on Russia’s borders and in the Black Sea and to demonize Russia with propaganda and whip up the US population into a war frenzy.  The latter is already occurring.
Kerry has made it clear to Lavrov that Washington is not listening to Russia. As Washington pays well, Washington’s European puppets are also not listening to Russia. Money is more important to European politicians than humanity’s survival.
In my opinion, Washington does not want the Ukraine matters settled in a diplomatic and reasonable way. It might be the case that Russia’s best move is immediately to occupy the Russian territories of Ukraine and re-absorb the territories into Russia from whence they came. This should be done before the US and its NATO puppets are prepared for war. It is more difficult for Washington to start a war when the objects of the war have already been lost. Russia will be demonized with endless propaganda from Washington whether or not Russia re-absorbs its traditional territories. If Russia allows these territories to be suppressed by Washington, the prestige and authority of the Russian government will collapse. Perhaps that is what Washington is counting on.
If Putin’s government stands aside while Russian Ukraine is suppressed, Putin’s prestige will plummet, and Washington will finish off the Russian government by putting into action its many hundreds of Washington-financed NGOs that the Russian government has so foolishly tolerated.  Russia is driven with Washington’s Fifth columns.
In my opinion, the Russian and Chinese governments have made serious strategic mistakes by remaining within the US dollar-based international payments system. The BRICS and any others with a brain should instantly desert the dollar system, which is a mechanism for US imperialism. The countries of the BRICS should immediately create their own separate payments system and their own exclusive communications/Internet system.
Russia and China have stupidly made these strategic mistakes, because reeling from communist failures and oppressions, they naively assumed that Washington was pure, that Washington was committed to its propagandistic self-description as the upholder of law, justice, mercy, and human rights.
In fact, Washington, the “exceptional, indispensable country,” is committed to its hegemony over the world. Russia, China, and Iran are in the way of Washington’s hegemony and are targeted for attack.
The attack on Russia is mounting.

USA Today"The US/IMF Impasse" Posted by GloryWalker at TNT

USA Today"The US/IMF Impasse" Posted by GloryWalker at TNT 04/17/2014 0 Comments   GLoryWalker:  Here's a great article in the IMF impasse David Marsh, Special for USA TODAY    April 16, 2014 IMF overhaul is in U.S. interest Developing-country economies may be smoldering and about to go up in flames — but the inhabitants of Congress, like Emperor Nero in Ancient Rome, are still fiddling away merrily, impervious to the world outside. An impasse in Congress over extra powers and new money for the International Monetary Fund, the 70-year-old institution at the center of world finance, is endangering the stability of the global economy at an ill-starred time. During the annual spring meeting of the IMF and World Bank amid the cherry blossoms of Washington this past weekend, I sensed a palpable bitterness and frustration about American intransigence among delegates from developing and developed countries alike. .... Senior policymakers repeatedly told me that U.S. obstructionism is depriving the IMF of funding needed to ward off serious financial problems in key emerging-market countries, which could have serious repercussions on the U.S. as well as other parts of the world. All this is coinciding, I was told, with deep-seated tectonic shifts in the world economic balance of power. States such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia and Turkey, outside the industrialized countries that used to run the international economy, now wield greater clout. One of the most influential attendees, deceptively softly-spoken Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Singapore finance minister and deputy prime minister, said that, as financial and economic power moved away from the West, the U.S. risked suffering "disruptive change" in the next 10 years unless it accommodated developing countries' requests for more say in running world financial institutions. In some cases, these are exactly the countries that may face financing problems caused by withdrawals of hot money flows as global capital washes back to the U.S. in the wake of withdrawal of monetary stimulus by the Federal Reserve. The more powerful countries among the fast-emerging developing nations have, thanks to globalization, made great strides in economic growth, living standards and stocks of monetary reserves. But, simultaneously, because of the cross-border nature of capital flows, and their openness to adverse swings in currency movements, officials say they are also the most vulnerable. In addition, these countries express irritation about what they see as the head-in the-sand approach of the world's biggest economy, the U.S. The large developing economies, led by China, India and Brazil, helped inject extra dynamism into the world economy after the financial crisis in 2008-09, helping the industrialized world (led by the U.S.) to recover. Now that the world economy is gradually on the mend, and the Federal Reserve is gradually tightening credit again, these countries argue that the richer western nations need to pay attention to That's why other countries are angry about Congress' failure to ratify a 2010 agreement among IMF members that would overhaul the fund. The changes would: double the IMF's quota — in effect, its equity capital — to $720 billion; shift six percentage points of total quota to emerging markets; and move two of the 24 IMF directorships from European to developing countries. Some Republicans who oppose the agreement question the IMF's value to U.S. taxpayers and argue that ratification could undermine U.S. authority over IMF spending. U.S. obfuscation over the IMF's resources could leave the world's foremost financial police officer perilously short of funds at a time when heavyweight countries such as Brazil, Turkey and South Africa may need financial support in the next 12 to 24 months to counter capital outflows. The worries about financing vulnerable emerging-market economies are an additional factor overhanging stock markets, which look set to suffer a major contraction in coming weeks from highs driven by bullishness over corporate valuations. Concerns about Ukraine-Russia tension, as well as the euro area — where deep underlying problems remain, despite last week's capital market return of serial offender Greece — loom large. In Washington, the Group of 20 industrialized nations issued a communiqué saying they were "deeply disappointed" by failure to implement IMF changes. They gave the U.S. until the end of the year to do so, threatening to leave America out of new changes otherwise. David Marsh is chairman of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), a London-based think tank that promotes dialogue between private-sector and public institutions on world finance. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/04/16/marsh-congress-imf-developing-countries/7779953/
