Is it war or theater?
Is it war or theater?
This week’s collection of horror stories about a mass killing in France and the rise of organized sniper attacks on police and civilians in the US has brought to mind the word ‘theater’.
In the classical sense, a theater of war is defined as a geographical area of land, sea, and airspace that is directly involved in war operations. In the Orwellian sense, however, the word, theater, takes on the meaning of something that is fictional and is designed to create a psychological impact on those who observe.
There can be little doubt that this second view is the correct one in terms of current events. If the carnage we are seeing were the result of a real war, the leaders of the governments under attack would be in full action to overcome the threat and destroy the enemy. They would seek out the known leaders of these violent groups (and the known financiers behind them) and put them permanently out of business. Instead, they tolerate, coddle, and even assist these people to carry out their plans.
If this were a real war, the leaders of the EU would not allow millions of so-called migrants into their borders and then protect them from prosecution for their crimes. If this were a real war, American leaders long ago would have locked up the violent organizers of militant groups like Black Lives Matter and also people like George Soros who fund them.
But it’s not a real war. It’s theater. Its purpose is to create sufficient carnage to frighten the majority into passive acceptance of a police state as the inevitable outcome.
It’s not a pretty picture, but … we need to know.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW
Nice, France: Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was shot and killed by police after driving a delivery truck through a crowd, killing more than 80 people who were celebrating Bastille Day. He was well-known to French police as a criminal from Tunisia who previously had used weapons in violent attacks. According to early reports, there is no indication that he was connected to ISIS or any other terrorist organization. ZeroHedge 2016 Jul 15 (Story) (Cached)
Breaking news: An attempted coup d’etat (they are calling it an uprising) is underway in Turkey. The military is attempting to oust President Tayyip Erdogan, but the US State Department says it will back Erdogan because he is the democratically elected leader, despite his failure to uphold democratic values, such as his recent crackdown on critics and journalists. [The bottom line is that Tayyip is a proven asset of the US government and likely will be supported for that reason alone.] CBS 2016 Jul 15 (Story)
The US House of Representatives passed the bill, previously passed by the Senate, that denies states the right to require GMO food labeling by declaring that this is an area for exclusive federal regulation. The bill allows (but does not require) businesses to use a smartphone scannable QR code instead of concise wording that informs consumers if a product contains genetically modified ingredients. Obama is expected to sign the bill. EcoWatch 2016 Jul 14 (Story) (Cached)

Obama plans to send 1,000 US soldiers to Poland to serve with the Polish military. The White House said that there will be an increase in NATO and US personnel and that they will have the most modern military equipment. Gary Franchi observes that these troops will be right on the Russian border and will be bait for the next world war. Next News Network 2016 Jul 13 (Story)
Deray McKesson, a Black Lives Matter leader and agitator, lives in a home owned by a member of the board of the Open Society Institute, a radical group controlled by George Soros.

‘Pokemon Go’ is a new free-download gaming app for smart phones. The augmented reality game utilizes the cameras, GPS, and clocks on users’ phones. Players photograph their surroundings while chasing a cartoon character through real-world environments. Sounds like fun, but Nintendo receives permission to disclose information about players to the government if they do anything that appears suspicious. The game was developed by Niantic Labs, which created Google maps, and was funded by the CIA. Corbett Report 2016 Jul 13 (Story) (Cached)
China’s middle class experienced a 70% growth of income between 1988 and 2008, known as the ‘Asian Miracle’. During this same period, the middle class in the US and in other developed countries experienced no growth at all or, in some cases, negative growth. This is partly because the Chinese standard of living still has a long way to go to catch up with developed countries, but it also is a result of Globalist trade treaties that have given China a trade advantage in recent years.

Germany: Police documents show that an estimated 1,200 German women were sexually assaulted on New Year’s Eve and that more than 2,000 men were involved in the crime wave. Only 120 suspects, most of them foreign nationals, have been identified. [We cannot help but think that, if it were legal for citizens to carry firearms in Germany, few, if any, of these attacks would have occurred.] Fox News 2016 Jul 11 (Story) (Cached)

The US government awarded over 1,000 permits for offshore fracking in the same area where the BP Oil spilled in the Gulf.

The permits were granted without any environmental analysis or oversight, and most of the chemicals used are a secret. RT posted 2016 Jul 9 (Story)
Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader DeRay McKesson says that someone hacked into his phone last month.

The messages suggest that the plan is supported by US Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

ANALYSIS
ANALYSIS
News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.
Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams discuss the attack in Nice, France, and conclude that it likely was not an act of terrorism but of mass murder without political or religious motivation. Yet, the usual collectivist political and media pundits are calling for gun control and war against Islam. However, gun control would not have stopped this crime nor would war on Islam. RPI 2016 Jul 15 (Story)
Why has NATO chosen Russia as its enemy instead of ISIS? This analysis by an Irish journalist in Russia leads to the simple answer: Money. A war with Russia or even just preparation for a war with Russia requires far more military expenditure than a war with ISIS. Be aware that this report comes from Russia Today, which is openly biased in favor of Russian policies. In spite of this bias, however, we believe that the information presented is accurate. At the very least, it is worth considering. RT 2016 Jul 14 (Story) (Cached)
Nigel Farage, leader of the Brexit movement in the UK, discusses the news of Europe. He says that Britain’s new prime minister, Teresa May, is a problem because she opposed UK independence. He comments on the cultural divide that now threatens Europe. And warns that Italian banks are going to fail. He expects the whole EU to come apart. Fox News 2016 Jul 13 (Story)
France: Patrick Calvar, the head of the nation’s internal security agency, has warned members of a French parliamentary commission that the country is on the verge of civil war, and there appears to be no way to stop it now. This is the result of backlash against Muslim migrants from the Middle East and North Africa. Military and law-enforcement experts are also issuing the same warning across the entire EU. InfoWars 2016 Jul 11 (Story)
Ben Carson warns that more events like the police shooting in Dallas will continue because there are terror cells and professional agitators in the US. He opposes Obama’s call for more gun control as a solution, because the Second Amendment exists so that people can defend themselves against an overly-aggressive government or an external invasion. He warns that there are entities that are trying to pit Americans against each other when we are not enemies. Fox News posted 2016 Jul 9 (Story)
James Corbett and Spiro Skouras show that the US government has been deeply interested in geoengineering (also known as chemtrails and stratospheric aerosols) for many years. Former CIA Director John Brennan spoke before the Council on Foreign Relations promoting stratospheric aerosol injection. The shocker, however, is a 2016 study about chemical spraying of the atmosphere. It concluded that the health hazard is unknown because it has never been considered. The significance of that fact is that, whatever the motivation is that drives geoengineering promoters, it has nothing to do with benefitting the public. Newsbud posted 2016 Jul 9 (Story)

TECH-SUPPORT CHAT
Hello Tech Support. Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate.
Hello Desperate. First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta version. Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0. Good Luck!

DIVIDE AND CONQUER
2016 Jul 8 from David Clumper
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
Sun Tzu
“Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.” Eleanor Roosevelt
This ‘Divide and Conquer Strategy’ is as old as the Bible; Also the favorite ploy of the NeoCons and Globalists such as Kissinger, Soros, Brzezinski and IMF head, Christine Lagarde. Lagarde often spouts numerology to back up some of her beliefs such as the “magic numbers 7, 11, 40, etc” The Bible does support this concept to a degree, but I fear most of these Globalists are getting their info from ‘The other side’.
Interestingly, 11 cops were shot, and it’s 11 days from the time of the shooting ’til the start of the Republican Convention ~ A very good chance this is the commencement of escalating violence between now and July 18th. This may make the 1968 Democratic Convention riots look like ‘Happy Days’.

IS THE DOLLAR NOT MONEY?
2016 Jul 6 from David Caron
Excellent description of our fraudulent financial system . However I “CRINGED” every time you called the dollar “MONEY”! BIG MISTAKE!!!
MONEY VS CURRENCY
Money is UNENCUMBERED, Currency is not. Currency is not MONEY! However MONEY can be used as currency. All currencies ever created have always reached their intrinsic value of $0. There are some newly created currencies that are still in use but they ALL have lost most of their value in just a few decades. Take the US Dollar for example (which is not MONEY); it has lost over 90% of its value in just 100 years!!!
Currency is not MONEY but Gold and Silver are MONEY, have been for 6,000 years. In all that time they have held their relative value! MONEY IS FOR PRESERVING YOUR WEALTH, CURRENCY IS FOR SPENDING IT! GOLD AND SILVER ARE “MONEY” EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST CURRENCY!
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello David. Thanks for your message. Regarding the word “money”, I use that word in its basic dictionary sense that money is anything used as a medium of exchange. That can be national currencies, gold, silver, Bitcoin, or anything else that is widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
That does not mean that all forms of money are of equal merit. There is good money and bad money. Like you, I am a believer that gold and silver are at the top of the list for good money. Nevertheless, Federal Reserve Notes and other fiat currencies ARE money, whether we like it or not, or whether we think they should be or not, because they are widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
If we attempt to promote the superiority of gold and silver by claiming that dollars are currency but not money, we not only make a factual error, but we create a serious barrier to communication with most people who understand at a gut level that dollars are, indeed, the de facto money of most of the world. We can try to make them say the word ‘currency’, instead, but they know it as money.
If you are interested in my analysis of this topic, you will find it in my book, The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at The Federal Reserve, in a section called A CRASH COURSE ON MONEY, which spans chapters 7 through 10.
Thanks for writing – and for being a champion of sound money.
