Global Warming is
A Political Hoax

Click on image for story about Newsweek’s cover.

The French Society of Mathematicians has released an analysis of climate-change statistics and concluded that there is no evidence to support the theory of man-made global warming. The report says that the the UN climate models fail to consider natural causes such as solar activity, the state of the oceans, and the temperature of the Earth’s magma, any one of which affect climate far more than human activity. CNS News 2015 Oct 29 (Story) (Cached)

Public rejection of the global-warming myth has arrived

It is a relief for those of us who have been shouting from the rooftops for years, that the theory of global-warming is a political weapon, to see that, at last, we are at the tipping point where public opinion has caught up with reality.

Thousands of researchers, scientists, and scholars have weighed in on the side of truth and, as reported in this issue, even professional mathematicians have joined the growing chorus. We have reached the point where any grade-school child can see through the lie that most scientists agree that anthropomorphic global warming is real.

In fact, it is just the other way around. The scientists who still support that hoax are, almost entirely, those who are employed by governments or by institutions that depend on government funding. That, by itself, is a dead give-away that there is something very political about this whole thing.

Did I say “something” political? The fact is that it’s totally political. The entire scheme is designed to frighten us into thinking that our planet, our way of life, our very survival is being threatened by a force so powerful and unrelenting that our only hope is a unified action of all mankind, coordinated by our gallant and unselfish political leaders. That means we must not object when they slap us with higher taxes, take away our property, and regulate every detail of our personal lives – all in the name of stopping global warming.

Globally minded politicians are aware that they are in a race against time.

They know they must finish the job of creating global government based on the model of collectivism very soon before the rising tide of public awareness makes that task impossible.

It is true that they have other schemes that can be used to frighten the public into passive acceptance of servitude – such as terrorism and civil disorder – but environmentalism has the advantage of producing results even without visible chaos. The imagination is a powerful force, and would-be tyrants are well versed in how to use that force against freedom.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW

Russian President Putin has characterized the theory of man-made climate change as fraudulent and a political weapon to thwart development of Russia’s oil and gas reserves. [We agree that it is a political weapon, but do not agree that its primary purpose is to retard the Russian economy. It is much bigger than that and has become the main justification for creating world government based on the model of collectivism.] InfoWars 2015 Oct 30 (Story) (Cached)

Venezuela is out of cash and selling off its gold to stay in the game a little longer. The government reported $14 billion in gold reserves in February but only $11.7 billion in May. The current figures are secret, but it is estimated that the debt will be $15.8 billion by the end of the year. No matter how you look at it, it spells bankruptcy – even after nationalizing (stealing) the oil companies several years ago. Inflation is over 100% and rising. This is the bitter fruit of collectivism. CNN 2015 Oct 29 (Story)

A resolution was passed by the EU, with a vote of 285 – 281, that calls on member states to protect Edward Snowden from extradition. This is resolution is not legislation with legal force but a measure of political support.

China’s communist government announced that its one-child policy has caused some problems. The working-age population is shrinking, leading to labor shortages. The birth-control policy now has been changed to allow couples to have two children – unless you are a Party official, in which case the new rule will be ignored. Bloomberg 2015 Oct 29 (Story)

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has vowed to “live forever by the sword”. He also announced that Israel intends to control “all of the territory”, which is a rejection of the two-state solution. He also announced plans to revoke citizenship and residency to more than 80,000 Arab Palestinians now living in Jerusalem. Information Clearinghouse 2015 Oct 28 (Story) (Cached)

Almost half of the 23 non-profit insurance plans created under Obamacare in 2011 will close by the end of the year. This is because their losses, caused by unexpectedly high medical claims, exceed what the government is willing to cover. [No one really expected Obamacare to be “affordable”, and now the political dance begins whereby the public will have no choice but to pay the massive cost through taxes and inflation.] Fiscal Times 2015 Oct 28 (Story) (Cached)

A federal judge in San Francisco has issued a landmark ruling that may halt the search-and-destroy raids by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration on medical marijuana dispensaries. The judge ruled that federal law clearly prevents the Justice Department from spending taxpayer money to hunt and chase marijuana users in states that have established medical marijuana programs.

Russia says that the Western mainstream media has lied about alleged Russian attacks on hospitals in Syria. The suspicion is that this lie is an attempt to divert world attention away from the recent US attack on a hospital in Afghanistan that killed 19 people. Russia demands that the US produce evidence to substantiate its claims or make a retraction. InfoWars 2015 Oct 28 (Story)

The American Cancer Society has backed away from its long-standing recommendation that women over 40 get a mammogram once a year. The starting age now is 45 and, after age 54, the recommended frequency is every two years. The basis of this change is that mammograms produce many false-positives, which commonly lead to expensive and debilitating medical treatments that are not needed. [Although the ACS did not acknowledge it, there also is the fact that repeated mammogram radiation may actually cause cancer that is not present beforehand.] NY Times posted 2015 Oct 27 (Story) (Cached)

A prince from Saudi Arabia (member of the royal family) was arrested in Beirut, Lebanon, on suspicion of attempting to smuggle two tons of ‘Captagon’, a stimulant drug that is popular in the Middle East.

Swedish and Danish banks have developed a digital-payment app for smart phones with the expectation that Sweden will be the first nation to go cashless. Many banks in Sweden already are totally digital and refuse cash.

Spain: Barcelona is considering issuing a digital currency that will enable the city to effortlessly increase its spending by creating its own money out of nothing. The EU is funding the promotion of competing local digital currencies because they are the foundation for a cashless society, which is the goal of governments and banks, alike. Unlike Bitcoin-type currencies, some of the new currencies have a built-in inflation rate of 8% to encourage spending and discourage saving. ZeroHedge 2015 Oct 26 (Story) (Cached)

US: The DEA and FBI raided Indian tribal lands in the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin and confiscated over 30,000 plants of hemp. The crop was intended for industrial and medicinal use and, therefore, was low in THC, the psychotropic agent found in marijuana. The federal, state, and local law-enforcement agencies that made the raid deny that the land is sovereign to the Indian nation. The tribe will sue the US government, and it is expected that, ultimately, the issue will be resolved by the Supreme Court, which is a branch of the federal government.

ANALYSIS

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

Pope Francis said in a meeting with Jewish leaders that to attack Jews is anti-Semitism, and that to attack the State of Israel also is anti-Semitism. Earlier this year, a Portuguese Israeli reporter quoted Pope Francis as saying, “Whoever does not recognize the Jewish people and the State of Israel is guilty of anti-Semitism.” [It is not clear what the Pope meant by the word “attack” but it is apparent from the context of his remarks that he defines harsh criticism of Jewish political leaders or their policies as an attack.] Newsweek 2015 Oct 29 (Story) (Cached)

Peter Mooslechner, the executive director for Austria’s central bank, said that central banks in Asia are increasing their reserves so they can intervene in markets and, thereby, control market prices. [This is significant at three levels: (1) Market-price manipulation is what we can expect from the growing reserves in China’s central bank, (2) central-bank intervention in market prices is an accepted global practice, and (3) there is no reason to believe that the Federal Reserve, which is the pace-setter for all central banks, would refrain from this practice. In other words, it is further confirmation of the assertion that the Fed is at the center of manipulating US market prices in gold, the stock market, and real estate.] GATA 2015 Oct 29 (Story) (Cached)

Americans are dependent on the profitability of an estimated $8.4 trillion in pensions and retirement funds. The Obama administration now is encouraging fund managers, not to generate maximum retirement revenue, but to invest in less profitable or even in failing green-energy producers instead of fossil-fuel energy producers. They are calling this socially-responsible investing to attract popular support, but the consequences are anything but socially responsible. They include giving politically derived economic advantage to companies that heavily donate to the Obama administration, lowering the living standard for those on retirement pensions, greatly increasing the cost of electrical energy, and allowing managers of corporate or union pension funds to manipulate investments to pursue political objectives.

Last summer my wife and I met a couple at a restaurant. After lunch, the women decided to go shopping, and I invited the man to go sailing.

While we were out on the water, a storm blew up. The tide had gone out, and we were down wind trying to work our way back through a narrow channel. At one point the boat grounded and we had to climb overboard and shove with all our might to get it back into deeper water.

As my new friend stood there, ankle deep in muck, the wind blowing his hair wildly, rain streaming down his face, he grinned at me. With unmistakable sincerity, he said, “Sure beats shopping.”

PROBLEM WITH A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
2015 Oct 28 from Joseph Lawson
[This is in response to an email invitation to participate in Operation Destination, the 2nd Congress of Freedom Force.]

I appreciate what you guys are attempting GEG but I sincerely believe we all need to get our hands around this Convention of States that Mr. Mark Levin is proudly sponsoring. Peace and Goodwill.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Joe.
Please re-read the section of my message that follows the photo collage. It clarifies the problem of trying to make a meaningful change by convening the states to re-write the Constitution (amending is the indirect way of re-writing it).

The problem is that the people who will attend such a convention will not be those who think like we do but are the ones already in power who hate the restraints against their power that the Constitution provides. What good will it do if the states change the Constitution so it can be “harmonized” with world government based on the model of collectivism?

By the way, once the convention is called, there is no way to limit the scope of the amendments, contrary to what Levin says.

Until we deal with the ideology behind our efforts, we are merely re-arranging deck chairs on the sinking Titanic. That’s precisely what Operation Destination is all about. Something to think about, and thanks for caring.

SANCTUARY CITIES ARE UNLAWFUL
2015 Oct 27 from Bryan Snider
Dear Mr. Griffin, Isn’t aiding and abetting a criminal a crime? Whoever authorizes sanctuary cities needs to be arrested. Under this criminal statute, anyone who aids or abets a crime may be charged directly with the crime, as if the charged had carried out the act himself. [Reference] This is distinct from the concept of being an accessory after the fact, a charge distinct from being a principal.

Fly, assassins. Fly!

A cache of classified documents reveals the inner workings of US drone operations in Somalia, Yemen, and Afghanistan. They describe the procedure for assassinating people by remote control. The whistleblower wants to remain anonymous because of Obama’s aggressive prosecution against previous whistleblowers. He says that Americans have a right to know the process by which people are placed on kill lists and then assassinated. The eight articles included in this group come from The Intercept, the same publication that is working with Edward Snowden. The Intercept 2015 Oct 15 (Story) (Cached)

What are we to think of assassination as an official policy of governments?

The lead article this week reveals in minute detail how the US military tracks and kills people around the globe who are labeled as terrorists. It is difficult to read that without becoming fearful for our own safety, not because we are terrorists or enemies of America, but because just the opposite is true.

To love one’s country is not the same as loving the leaders of one’s country. It often has happened in history that the highest level of patriotism requires opposition to corruption within one’s government. The problem with that is obvious. Government leaders are the ones who get to say who the nation’s enemies are. If the leaders are corrupt, they will declare that anyone attempting to expose their corruption is an enemy of the state. In today’s world, that translates into being a domestic terrorist.

Many Americans approve assassination of terrorists because they accept the verdict handed down by the CIA and the President that the targets really are enemies of the American people who are plotting to bring death and destruction to Main street, USA.

Let us not challenge that assumption. Let us believe that all of those targets in the Middle East really were threats to citizens of the United States. Even so, a military strategy that kills nine innocent civilians for every one enemy combatant is not defensible. In a future global tribunal, it even might be called a war crime.

The thing that causes uneasiness over safety here at home is that corrupted leaders will go to any length to preserve their power. It is clear to me that we are rapidly approaching the point where anyone who opposes or even criticizes a political leader will be declared a domestic terrorist, the lap-dog media will repeat the accusation with solemnity, the uninformed public will accept it as truth, and the drones will be re-programmed for use right here at home.

That is where we are headed, but we don’t have to get there. If we can accelerate the growth of the present freedom movement and become a unifying force among all organizations seeking the victory of individualism over collectivism, we will be able to change nameplates on the doors in Congress and rescue our government from its captors. In doing so, we also will be rescuing ourselves.

An obituary printed in the London Times:

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
– Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
– Why the early bird gets the worm;
– Life isn’t always fair;
– And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers:
– I Know My Rights
– I Want It Now
– Someone Else Is To Blame
– I’m A Victim
– Pay me for Doing Nothing.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

A ‘THEATER’ OF WAR?
2015 Oct 20 from: Bruce Vetter
During periods of war, areas of conflict are called “theaters”. How odd! Theaters are places of entertainment. Who ever found war entertaining but perhaps those “driving the bus” of other’s existence. Who’s driving this bus, and why do they enjoy this “theater” so much? I served in the military aboard nuclear submarines in the 60’s as a reactor operator. I was a part of this theater. General Smedley Butler summed it up when he said “war is a racket”. http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html#c1

A SECOND LOOK AT THE THEORY OF HIV
2015 Oct 20 from: John Kerr
Dear Mr. Griffin, I have watched (and enjoyed) many of your YouTube videos. I agree with your point of view on most topics (including The Fed, cancer, political motives, Chem trails, etc…). However I’m a bit confused on your message about “The HIV/AIDS Fraud”. Admittedly, I haven’t dug real deeply into the “Fraud” point of view. I certainly know Pharmaceuticals will pull any dirty trick to make a buck and fool the public.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello John.
The short answer is that

(1) No one has ever seen the HIVirus. It is theoretical.

(2) The test for HIV produces false-positive results from multiple types of infections, including the common cold.

(3) When we read that HIV is killing more and more people (in Africa, for example) the total death rate does not increase. It remains remarkably constant, suggesting that people are dying of the same old diseases re-labeled as HIV because of false-positive tests.

(4) AIDS is the correct name; It is an auto-immune disorder syndrome. That means it is a breakdown of the immune system, not caused by a mythical virus, but by drugs (recreational or prescription) – and the result is a syndrome of symptoms of well-known diseases that take over when the immune system is compromised. They are dying from cancer, pneumonia, malnutrition, etc. but their death certificates show AIDS.

(5) The treatment of choice, AZT, is highly destructive of the immune system, thereby, creating the illness for which it is prescribed. Give AZT to healthy people and there is an excellent chance they will die from AIDS. This is similar to treating cancer with chemotherapy.

(6) The HIV myth is highly profitable to the health-care industry with most of the cost being picked up by taxpayers.

(7) Hundreds of thousands of needless deaths.

Thanks for asking.

CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING THEIR OWN SON
2015 Oct 14 from Joe Ferguson
Hi Ed. I just finished watching the first episode of The Truth About Cancer. It is great! I hope that MILLIONS will see it. Of course, I already know all that stuff because I have been reading the works of that genius, G. Edward Griffin, for about 40 years! But it is great to see all of that information put together in one package.

There was a case here in Utah in about 2005 involving a boy named Parker Jensen, son of Daren and Barbara Jensen. The state of Utah tried to take possession of Parker, claiming that he had some rare condition and wanted to force him to take chemotherapy treatments. His parents took him out of the state to Idaho. They were charged with kidnapping THEIR OWN SON!!! Parker is now alive and well without the chemo!

Fortunately, there was a great outcry here, and several bills were passed in the state legislature protecting parental rights. A most interesting case study.

THE PROTECTION-RACKET STATE
2015 Oct 11 from Chris
Ed, I’m currently reading an intriguing book entitled, The Rise and Fall of Jewish Gangsters in America, by Albert Fried. It’s a brief historical survey of the subject, which existed in the Lower East Side, NYC, beginning in the late 1800’s.

If there’s one thing that comes through loud and clear it’s this: Gangsters didn’t fall, they morphed from bad guys to good guys. In other words, the gangsters of yesteryear are today’s financiers, businessmen, public officials, and bureaucrats. Their system of shake-down is the government, and their thugs are all the police and military that they have at their disposal.

The fact is, we don’t live in a slave-state, as I formerly supposed. Instead, we live in a protection-racket-nation. I believe this is the new model for the new age, being built from the best materials and methods of all prior ages.

GUN-FREE ZONES FOR POLITICIANS?
2015 Oct 11 from Kay Causey
Dear Mr. Griffin, I have what I think is a great idea. Start a petition advocating a “gun-free zone” for the White House and the Congress. They love “gun-free zones” (such hypocrisy). It would almost be a parody – but I think it would get MEGA attention if the right group sent it out. I would surely sign it and have MANY friends who would also. I, myself, could start a petition, but I am a nobody. This would take a huge organization. Could you put out some feelers to get this done?

REPLY FROM GEG:
Of course, it would never be taken seriously, but it could get a lot of attention and dramatize the absudity of gun-free zones in schools. Anyone want to run with this? Perhaps we could host it here at NTK, gather the signatures, publish the numbers, and keep the news stories coming. Any voluteers to organize the petition campaign and head up a Coalition for Gun-Free Zones for Politicians?

Statistics don’t lie but liars create statistics

This short slide presentation is a must-see for anyone who still thinks that pharmaceutical drugs offer a favorable balance between risk and benefit. Here are some of the statements made by pharmaceutical companies that are technically true but not even close to what you think they mean:
►Blood pressure medication cuts the risk of stroke by 40%
►Bone medication reduces the risk of fracture by 50%
►Cholesterol drug reduces the risk of heart attack by 36%
Posted 2015 Oct 3 Markito Nutrition (Story)

There are lies, damn lies and statistics

It was Mark Twain who said: “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.”

That certainly applies to the mathematical trick used by Big Pharma to deceive us into believing that drugs are beneficial. Here’s an analogy:

If a $100 item in the store is discounted 2%, it is not an impressive number. If the discount is increased to 3%, the number still is unimpressive, because the absolute gain in discount would be only 1%. However, if you are a con artist and want to fool people into thinking that a 1% gain is a wonderful deal, all you have to do is compare the new 3% discount with the previous 2% discount. That is called a “relative” comparison, whereas comparing to the original price would be an “absolute” comparison.

By comparing the new 3% discount to the old 2% discount, you can honestly tell your victim that it is an “improvement” of 50%!Why? Because a 3% discount is 50% higher than a 2% discount. It still is only a 1% absolute gain, but you would not mention that. Let the suckers figure it out for themselves.

Three afflicted patients out of a hundred in a control group represents a 3% affliction rate, but two patients afflicted in a treatment group after taking medication represent a 33% “improvement” relative to three patients in the control group. The drug company will claim “33% reduced risk” because dropping from three to two represents a 33% reduction.

As with products in a store, however, reality is not altered by this trick. Those in the treated group still will have a mere 1% absolute benefit and, for that, they pay a fortune and assume the risk of side effects. They do this only because they have been tricked into thinking that the odds are much more favorable than they really are.

And it gets worse. When we take into consideration the massive fraud that has been uncovered within the testing programs of the largest drug companies, we have good reason to be suspicious of claims of any absolute benefit at all, not even 1%. I believe that, if the tests were not rigged, the numbers would be negative, which means more harm than benefit.

But never mind that. There are drugs to sell!

A video clip from last year features Putin diplomatically explaining that ISIS was created by the US.

ANALYSIS

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

Judge Napolitano criticized Hillary Clinton’s proposal to use a presidential executive order to allow gun manufacturers to be sued for gun violence perpetrated by those who use their products. This would shift responsibility from criminals to gun manufacturers and likely would cause all manufacturers of guns to go out of business except those supplying the government, which is her real goal. Fox News 2015 Oct 5 (Story)

The federal government has paid almost $1 trillion to scammers since 2003. The GAO says that three programs generate most of the fraud: Medicare, Medicaid, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Little has been done to reduce this rampant corruption, and the losses continue to rise every year. David Stockman 2015 Oct 4 (Story) (Cached)

All 193 nations that comprise the United Nations have agreed to promote a program, that is an extension of its previous “Agenda 21”. It is called the Agenda for 2030 and is the final blueprint for world government based on the model of collectivism. Under the program, children are viewed as “agents of change” and will be targeted for psychological programming. The Pope is a staunch promoter. So is Obama who, as usual, is attempting to bypass Congress and simply implement the agenda by executive action. Republican lawmakers have the majority and could stop the funding of this program, but do not expect the present leaders to take any such action. New American posted 2015 Oct 3 (Story) (Cached)

Need to Know is as serious as it gets, but laughter is good for the soul and helps to keep our equilibrium amid the chaos. So, here are quips, gags, and images to put a smile on your face. If you have some you would like to share, please send them here.

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he’d make a deal with his son: “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, “Son, you’ve brought your grades up, and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.”

The boy said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair – and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”

Dad thought about that for a moment and then replied: “Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?”

RADIATION LEAKS
2015 Oct 7 from Dave Javorsky
Hello Mr Griffin. Radiation is leaking from Hanford, in Washington State. Thanks for keeping the news coming.

POTASSIOM IODIDE TO REDUCE NUCLEAR TOXICITY
2015 Oct 7 from Nick Hill
Hi Ed. Heavy-metal poisoning and exposure to radionuclides are rarely the same thing. Chelation therapy is not the right response to a concern about radionuclide exposure.(Reference) The best and established regimen is to saturate the body with non-radioactive isotopes to prevent the body from scavenging and using radioactive isotopes. The most concerns from recent fission incidents are usually iodine 131, caesium 137, and strontium 90. I protect myself by keeping a stash of potassium iodide which, through saturation, will preclude the assimilation of radioactive caesium and iodine.

COMMENT BY GEG:
The article in the link shown above is informative, but I must remind readers that we do not endorse radiation therapy of any kind for the treatment of cancer.

PREDATORS AND PARASITES
posted 2015 Oct 4 from David Chandler
Dear Mr. Griffin: I enjoyed seeing you on the Trailer for the Agenda-21 movie. I ordered 100 copies to deliver to my County Seat, Elected Officials, Local Churches, and Action Groups.

The thing I noted about your comments on the Trailer is that you identified the Banksters as Predators. This is not an accurate depiction of them. Predators stalk and hunt. We’re dealing with Parasites. Parasites latch hold of and suck the life blood out of their host.

While a Nation is healthy it can withstand the parasitic acts of the Banksters and their Corporate Blood Suckers. Once the Nation is weakened, the Institutions undermined by the corruption that follows the sting of unrestrained wealth and power become necrotic. The Body Politic dies a painful death. The world makes a lot more sense, in my view, using the parasite analogy.

REPLY BY GEG: I agree that parasites may be a better analogy for most of these characters, but some of them truly are stalkers, hunters, and killers. The halls of government are populated with both groups, but those that rise to the top of the power pyramid are usually the predators.

IT’S ALL AN ACT
2015 Oct 3 from Abby
With reference to your comments that tension between Obama and Putin may be orchestrated rather than genuine, I have seen quite a few videos of Putin and Obama winking. Putin also winked at Charlie Rose. It’s hidden in plain sight if you review official appearances/videos. This behavior certainly shows me that the rhetoric is an act. There is not going to be any nuclear war.

Truth always will be defeated by tyranny unless we are willing to step forward and enter the battle. The future belongs, not to ideas, but to people who act on those ideas. If you truly want to make a difference in the world, Freedom Force International awaits you.

Theodore Roosevelt
26th President of the United States
Labor Day speech at Syracuse, NY
