Major US grocery chains, including Kroger, Costco, Safeway, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Target, are refusing to sell genetically-modified salmon. Even the mainstream news has carried a warning that the long-term safety of the fish is unproven, labeling is voluntary, and the fish could wipe out natural populations. In spite of all that, the FDA has approved them for human consumption – and here they come. CBS News 2015 Nov 24 (Story)

The execution of Lady Jane Grey, who served as de facto Queen of England for nine days in 1553 before relinquishing the throne to Mary Tudor. Queen Mary later charged Lady Jane Grey with high treason.

None dare call it treason

The first time I ever heard the phrase, none dare call it treason, was when it appeared as the title of a best-selling book, published in 1964, written by John Stormer. The title was taken from a famous epigram by Sir John Harington, who was a witty and erudite figure at the court of Elizabeth I. Harington wrote: “Treason doth never prosper. What’s the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”

An interesting aside is that Harington also is credited with being the inventor of the flush toilet. It’s hard to imagine anything that has made a greater impact on the world than that, but it is his enlightening quip on treason that caused his name to be well known in history.

The message of Stormer’s book was that the United States government was in danger of being conquered by a well-defined group of people who are hostile to the country’s traditional political, cultural, and social values and were bent on changing them to conform to a modern, high-tech version of the old-world model of feudalism. The new version is called collectivism and includes a ruling elite in control of a subservient working class, comparable to what used to be called serfs.

The conquest, however, was not by soldiers from other nations. Rather, they were American citizens who were using the democratic process to infiltrate the power centers of America. One-by-one, these centers of influence were being captured in a quiet and gradual conquest-from-within that not one person in a thousand was able to detect.

The significance of the book’s title, therefore, was profound. The conquest of America had advanced so far that the conquerors were already in place at the highest levels of government and now were in charge of deciding who the traitors are. Stormer was able to show convincingly that the defenders of the old traditions were already classified as enemies of the state. The word treason is not far from that.

All of this came to mind when I prepared the first story in our news column about the newspaper editor in Turkey who was arrested and charged with treason for telling the truth about his government’s role in delivering weapons to ISIS in Syria. Turkey, of course, is a long way from here, but Washington, DC, is not. It is in Washington that people at the highest levels of the government are calling for the public hanging of Edward Snowden for exposing the unconstitutional and unethical surveillance activities of the NSA.

If you ever considered becoming seriously involved in the defense of liberty, the time to get moving is running out. If you don’t know how to do that, Freedom Force is a good place to begin.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW

Turkey: The Editor-in Chief and a reporter for the newspaper, Cumhuriyet, were arrested and charged with treason for accusing the government of using army trucks to deliver weapons to ISIS. Note that the charge is, not that their reports were false, but that they constituted treason against the government. Euronews 2015 Nov 27 (Story)

Turkish President Erdogan refused to apologize for downing the Russian bomber because he says his military warned Russia not to cross into Turkish airspace. Erdogan then lied, big time, when he said that the biggest supporter of Daesh (ISIS) is the Syrian Assad regime. Assad and ISIS are bitter enemies. ITN News 2015 Nov 26 (Story)

Protests that were mostly peaceful were staged in Chicago after release of a dashcam video of a black 17-year old male who was shot to death by the police. The officer who discharged 16 shots was arrested on charges of first-degree murder. The teen was a robbery suspect and had been carrying a three-inch knife, but he was moving away from police when he was shot. The city awarded the teen’s family $5 million.

Pfizer merged with Monsanto in 2000, and now the company will purchase Allergan, the makers of Botox and other drugs. It is a $160-billion dollar deal. The move will create the largest drug company on the planet. Natural Society 2015 Nov 25 (Story) (Cached)

This is a video clip of so-called ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels shooting at the helicopter that Russia sent to rescue their downed war plane pilots from ISIS forces. It shows an American M83 rocket launcher being used, confirming that the US is supplying ISIS with weapons. Reporter David Knight points out that Americans need to wake up and understand that terror attacks and fear mongering are being used to continue the wars and their profits.

Minneapolis, Minnesota: Here is a propaganda video clip designed to intensify racial discord in the US. It was posted to the Internet by the Black Lives Matter group and shows two white men, dressed in military gear and brandishing guns. The men use racial epithets and advise viewers to “stay white”. They say they are on the way to the Black Lives Matter protest at which five demonstrators were shot. Most viewers would conclude that these are the men who are responsible. Black Lives Matter posted the video, but the original source was blocked so it cannot be authenticated. This is classic propaganda to create hatred and violence, and both white and black are cooperating in its creation. Why would they do this? Read the editorial in last week’s edition and you will know the answer. The headline is: “Would we not shatter it to bits?” Gawker 2015 Nov 24 (Story)

The US military gives 45-minute warnings to ISIS and its supporters when military strikes are launched. It took the US 15 months before it started targeting the ISIS oil business that funds over 50% of its activities. Turkey, a member of NATO and US ally, facilitated $800-million in oil sales for ISIS. This is more evidence of collusion between the US and ISIS. InfoWars 2015 Nov 24 (Story) (Cached)

Minneapolis, Minnesota: Five Black-Lives-Matter demonstrators were wounded by gunfire on Tuesday night. Raeisha Williams, communications chair of the Minneapolis NAACP, told CNN that she believes police undercover agents were behind the shooting. She said she has video evidence of an undercover cop getting into an unmarked car and that police were brought in from other districts to provoke and bully the protestors. Police arrested two men for the shooting. Raw Story 2015 Nov 24 (Story)

Turkey shot down a Russian bomber, claiming they were protecting their territory. Russia says the incident was an act of aggression. Vice News 2015 Nov 24 (Story) (Cached)

Belgian schools and subways have been shut down because officials believe that a new terror cell plans to attack. Meanwhile, police are carrying out raids on the lairs of suspected terrorists and have made twenty arrests. Paris attack suspect Salah Abdesalem is still on the loose. CBS News 2015 Nov 23 (Story)

US: A federal court has suspended the implementation of an EPA water regulation that would give the agency authority over dry creek beds, ditches, and even puddles. This is in response to the fact that thirty states are suing to overturn the regulation. The Hill 2015 Nov 23 (Story) (Cached)

US Representatives Tulsi Gabbard and Austin Scott, members of the House Armed Services Committee, introduced a bill to end the war to overthrow the Syrian President Assad regime by defunding those efforts. [The bill is not expected to receive wide support.] Truth In Media 2015 Nov 23 (Story)

The US weapons industry has set record sales this year of $47 billion. After the US military, itself, Saudi Arabia is the next biggest customer. It has purchased over $100 billion in US-made weapons over the past 3 years. A recent poll shows that 92% of Saudis who were polled support ISIS, yet the Saudis are seldom criticized for their military adventures because they spend a lot of money on American weapons. RT 2015 Nov 23 (Story)

In 2014, police across the US took $4.5 billion from citizens under civil-forfeiture regulations. That is more property than stolen by criminals in 2014. RT 2015 Nov 22 (Story)

The government of Bangladesh executed two opposition leaders for war crimes allegedly committed during the country’s war of independence in 1971. Critics say that war-crime trials in Bangladesh merely are a tool of revenge against political opponents. EuroNews 2015 Nov 22 (Story)

With Open Gates; The forced collective suicide of European nations, is a jaw-dropping 19-minute documentary on the European migrant crisis. It includes shocking aerial images of huge swarms of people invading Europe under the banner of migration. You will not soon forget these scenes. Why is this being allowed and even encouraged? The answer is the same as with the previous story about the deliberate creation of racial conflict in America. Read the editorial in last week’s edition: “Would we not shatter it to bits?” [The second video contains full audio.] NebraskaAttitude posted 2015 Nov 21 (Story)

The US Senate passed the Space Act of 2015 that grants US citizens or corporations the right to claim non-living natural resources, including water and minerals, mined in space. The bill could be contrary to an international treaty that bars the ownership of property in space. [Proponents argue that this is similar to the allowing homesteading on the American frontier, which stimulated exploration, development, and the reality of private property in America. What do you think?] AntiMedia posted 2015 Nov 21 (Story) (Cached)

ANALYSIS

News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.

James Corbett provides an analysis of temperature data used to defend the global-warming theory and shows precisely how it has been manipulated to misrepresent reality. The deception is obvious and astonishing. Corbett Report 2015 Nov 25 (Story)

Matthew Fogg, a former US Marshal and DEA agent, speaks out against police brutality, profiling, and the drug war. He describes using military-style actions to raid citizens and says that money and connections determine who will be brutalized. Wealthy people usually are well connected and can stop prosecution of their children, so law enforcement turns a blind eye to drugs in wealthy areas. Because police like the massive funding derived from the drug war, they focus on prosecuting the poor. Blacks are targeted because they are in that category, not because of their race.

This analysis concludes that there is not a single global-warming or climate-change reduction scheme that has ANY impact on changing the weather. It’s all increasing tax revenue and governmental power. Here are the details. Fifty to One posted 2015 Nov 22 (Story)

ANTI-ISRAELI BIAS?
2015 Nov 19 from Wendy
Dear Edward Griffin, What you are doing for Freedom is very important and courageous too. And the news you put out always seems to be accurate. I always read what you write, but get concerned about the ‘anti Israel’ bias, which definitely appears regularly.

I understand that the reason that the concert hall in Paris was attacked is that, 9 years ago, it held a pro Israel meeting. Please make sure you report things fairly and find out from Israel exactly what is going on. I strongly suggest you subscribe to Israel Today, their website. Interesting to note that, when the Israelis behave badly, they are always the first to talk about it.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Wendy. Thank you for your compliments about our news service. I am surprised, however, to learn that you think we have an anti-Israeli bias. We try very hard to have no bias whatsoever – except for truth.

We often criticize the actions of corrupt or power-mad politicians in the United States government, but that does not mean we have an anti-American bias. Just the opposite is true. We believe that the highest obligation of patriotism is to oppose corruption in leadership.

Your statement about the motive for attacking the concert hall is an interesting case in point. That is the kind of story that we probably would publish but only if it could be documented from a reliable source, such as ISIS, itself. If true, that is exactly the kind of thing that ISIS leaders would be anxious for the world to know.

Can you tell us the source of this claim? If the source is the Israeli government, the only way we would report on it is to identify its source and let the readers decide for themselves how reliable it is. However, if we did that, our report could be said to have an anti-Israeli bias. It is very hard to be totally honest in a conflict with such strong passion on both sides.

I would be glad to re-examine any news story that you feel was not truthful. If that can be independently documented by reliable parties who are not, themselves, aligned with combatants in the conflict, we will gladly retract the story and replace it with a more accurate report.

Thank you for writing and especially for caring about truth.
