WEEK IN REVIEW

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has executed 340 people since he took office in 2011, and 140 of those were senior officials and advisors. Some of the infractions that resulted in a death sentence were slouching, having a bad attitude, snoozing during military briefings, and talking back. NY Post 2016 Dec 29 (Story) (Cached)

Obama turned 1.65 million acres of land in Utah and Nevada into National-Monument status thereby making them off limits to any development or useful purpose, including mining, oil extraction, and building. It’s just one more limitation on America’s ability to prosper. Breitbart 2016 Dec 29 (Story) (Cached)

video-icon_4-41-22_smallObama declared that the land which includes the Clive Bundy Ranch now is a national monument. The Bundy Ranch was the location of the 2014 standoff against federal officials and ranchers over regulation and taxation of grazing land. Now that this will be treated in some ways like a national park, Bundy and other ranchers will be under attack once again. Next News Network 2016 Dec 30 (Story)

Finland is running an experiment on ‘Universal Basic Income’ by selecting 2,000 unemployed citizens who will receive $600 per month, no strings attached, for two years. The collectivist government theorizes that, because people put off finding work in order to keep the benefits they have, giving them more benefits ‘with no strings attached’ will encourage them to seek jobs. Hmmm. NewsBeat Social 2016 Dec 29 (Story)

French citizens will be taxed to beef up private insurance policies to cover the risk of terrorist attacks. [The amount is not great per person, but the collectivist principle behind it is disturbing. Next will come taxes to pay auto insurance, health insurance, home insurance, on and on. The end of that road is when taxes pay for all risks, freedom to participate is denied, political corruption percolates throughout, costs become inflated, and incentive to reduce the risk is all but gone.] Newsmax 2016 Dec 29 (Story) (Cached)

video-icon_4-41-22_smallSyria: US-backed rebels control the Ein al Fija spring that supplies 65% of the water for Damascus. Previously, the rebels threatened to cut off the supply by blowing up the channels through which it is delivered. Now, the Syrian Government itself had to cut off delivery, because it was discovered that the water had been contaminated with diesel fuel, leaving citizens without water for days. Western media is blaming the Syrian government for bombing the spring, but there is no evidence (or logic) to support that claim. These video clips of government trucks delivering emergency water to its citizens tell the story. RT 2016 Dec 28 (Story)

Hawaii: Trump supporters are called Nazis and banned from eating at Honolulu’s Café 8 ½. There will be no legal recourse such as there was when a bakery owned by Christians refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple. That’s the double standard that is readily tolerated in liberal and leftist communities. Gateway Pundit 2016 Dec 28 (Story) (Cached)

Obama signed the military-spending bill for 2017 that authorizes arming Syrian rebels with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. The obvious use for these at present is to shoot down Russian jets that are attacking ISIS and other so-called rebels in Syria. Russia says it is “a hostile act”, but the US says the weapons will be given only to Kurds who are fighting ISIS. There is no reason to believe that, given present US hostility to Russia’s involvement in Syria and the fact that previous shipments of US arms have landed in the hands of extremist organizations, including the al-Qaida-affiliated Nusra front.

video-icon_4-41-22_smallBrawls broke out in more than a dozen shopping malls across the US, involving hundreds of young people. The media declined to report that most of these flash mobs were black or that they appear to have been coordinated over social media. [It will be interesting to see if anyone in the media or in government will seriously investigate to discover who was the directing force behind this.] CNN 2016 Dec 27 (Story)

video-icon_4-41-22_smallThis video segment from the 1981 police sit-com, Barney Miller, qualifies as a pretty good description of the Trilateral Commission. Nevertheless, the script required the actor portraying the man who knew about the Trilateralists to look like a fruitcake. People watching this had no idea they were being programmed to scoff at truth. ABC posted 20166 Dec 27 (Story)

In a rush to get the job done before Trump’s inauguration, Obama has accepted 25,584 refugees since October, an 86% increase over the number last year during the same period. Almost all of them are from Syria, Iraq. and Somalia and are being settled in Texas, California, Arizona, and New York. ZeroHedge 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

Obama quietly signed the ‘Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act’ into law. Late Friday night, while most Americans were distracted by the Christmas holiday, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611-billion for the military in 2017. Buried inside that bill, the ‘Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act’, also was activated, which sets the stage for shutting down websites that do not follow the government line. The law will create the equivalent of an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ to create so-called ‘fact-based’ narratives that no one will be allowed to question. ZeroHedge 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

Defeat the hidden agenda.
Freedom Force awaits you.

Pennsylvania: George Ciccariello-Maher, a history and politics professor at Drexel University, was reprimanded by the school’s administration for tweeting, “All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide.” After he was criticized, he tweeted that it was good that whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution. Then he tried to pass his remarks off as satire. Information Liberation 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

Israel is accusing Obama of orchestrating the anti-settlement resolution at the UN last week. Netanyahu is afraid that Obama will set parameters for a Palestinian state in the next three weeks and is hoping to persuade President-Elect Trump to “economically hurt” those countries that voted against Israel in the UN and that may do so in the future. Trump’s response will be an indicator of his resolve to make America Great again. Times of Israel 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

Pakistan’s defense minister threatened to retaliate in kind to any Israeli nuclear strike after allegedly being tricked by a ‘fake news site’. AWDNews reported that Israel threatened to destroy Pakistan with a nuclear attack if it send ground troops to Syria. A confrontation on social media ensued, and then Israel denied making the threat. The media accepted Israel’s denial and blamed the whole thing on ‘fake news’ which added great credibility to the latest drive to censor all news sources and social media. [How convenient.] AFP 2016 Dec 25 (Story) (Cached)

Obama has removed the word ‘limited’ from US nuclear policy, which is being interpreted as taking a more aggressive posture against Russia and China. There is no doubt, however, that this signals a step up in military spending on a Star Wars system that leading defense scientists characterize as a fantasy. If they are right, this is just another huge boondoggle for the Military-Industrial Complex. ZeroHedge 2016 Dec 24 (Story) (Cached)

Goldman-Sachs was found guilty of rigging interest rates and manipulating the value of the dollar to gain illegal profits. No one went to prison, and the fine of $120 million, paid by its stockholders, not its crooked executives, was a small price to pay for the billions it made from the crime. The government’s pretense at punishment is an incentive to continue cheating. Free Thought Project 2016 Dec 24 (Story) (Cached)

The NY Times and Fortune Magazine, senior members of the Establishment media, now are implying that Russia is responsible for Pizzagate. They say that Russia is planting child porn on the computers of its political opponents to discredit them. Daily Sheeple posted 2016 Dec 24 (Story) (Cached)
