Rev-up and stand-down
Rev-up and stand-down
For the past few weeks, this commentary section has focused on acts of terrorism and race-based violence that are occurring in the streets of the US and Europe. I wish we could turn to less gruesome news but, in my view, there is nothing more important to the future of personal freedom in the world than these events.
Details of the attacks continue to fill the news channels: the names of attackers, their origin, what weapons they used, how many were killed or wounded, are they part of an organized group?, and so forth. As important as these facts may be, there are other facts that may be even more important that are seldom featured in major news channels.
There is no better example than the fact that, in almost every case of terrorism and organized race-based violence, there is strong evidence that the attackers were recruited, radicalized, trained, funded, and protected by covert agencies of the governments that become the scenes of violence. Not only that, after the radicalized groups and dupes are pushed into suicide missions, it is amazingly common to discover that military and law-enforcement personnel are given orders to stand down for as long as possible, which allows the radicalized cannon fodder to create an amazing amount of carnage considering their small numbers.
Once this recurring pattern of rev-up and stand down is recognized, it becomes apparent that there are forces that actually want to see wanton acts of violence and killing as a catalyst to creating public demand for a police state, supposedly as the only solution to the problem they, themselves, created.
If you know what to look for, you will find this pattern within the following stories from this week’s news.

Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, has filed a class-action law suit on behalf of law enforcement. Defendants in the suit are Obama, former US Attorney General Eric Holder, civil rights activist Al Sharpton, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Black Lives Matter (BLM) founder DeRay McKesson, and other BLM leaders who are accused of using anti-police rhetoric to incite violence.

Georges Dallemagne, a member of the Belgian parliament, reported that, on November 13, 2015, the night of three coordinated terror attacks in Paris, six French military personnel of the Sentinelle Project were at the entry of the concert hall where 89 people were killed but did nothing to interfere. In this French video interview, he says the soldiers were told to follow rules of engagement that did not allow them to take action unless they, themselves, were attacked. This story has been ignored by Western media. Free Thought Project 2016 Jul 21 (Story) (Cached)
Evidence indicates that the US was involved in the recent failed coup in Turkey, resulting in serious consequences as leaders now battle for power. This article summarizes the multiple facets of the coup, the players and their motives, including information about Fethullah Gulen who lives in the US and receives $500 million annually from US taxpayers for his charter schools, which teach radical Islam.

A Syrian rebel group, once described as ‘moderate’ by the US State Department, filmed the beheading of an 11-year old boy who they suspected of spying. The gruesome video has circulated widely on social media. As many as 1,000 of these so-called moderate Zenki combatants were still receiving US aid in December 2014, and were using weapons from the CIA in 2015. Common Dreams 2016 Jul 21 (Story) (Cached)
The US government released the long awaited, heavily-redacted, 28-page report that shows the close connection between some of the 9/11 hijackers and the Saudi government. The report says that the White House inhibited law enforcement from investigating this connection and that Saudi officials were allowed to leave the US right after 9/11 so they could not be detained or questioned. Saudi Arabia currently is funding 20% to 40% of Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president. There is much more in this report that will make your blood boil. InfoWars 2016 Jul 18 (Story)
The US government says that, even though an older document implicates Saudi Arabia in the 9/11 attack, subsequent investigations found no such links. The Saudi government says it has been exonerated. [It remains to be seen who in Washington politics or mainstream media will have the honesty to point out that the reason no such links were found in subsequent investigations is that there were no subsequent investigations. They were blocked by the White House.] PBS News posted 2016 Jul 18 (Story)
French President Francois Hollande announced that the state of emergency that was to expire in two weeks will be extended for another three months following the Bastille Day attacks in Nice. He said that France will intensify its military action in Syria and Iraq. [It is precisely such military excursions, which victimize more civilians than terrorists, that makes it easy to recruit more terrorists from the population. Kill one, create a hundred. Stopping France’s suicidal policy of flooding the country with militant Islamic immigrants would be a better approach.] EuroNews posted 2016 Jul 16 (Story)

Ten members of a militant Islamist group were arrested in Brazil for plotting terror attacks during the Rio Olympic games, which will begin in a few weeks. This is the first Islamic cell to be discovered in the country, and authorities say the plot was amateurish. US taxpayers will pay $24 million for security in Brazil during the Olympics.

Israel has made deals with unidentified African countries, most likely Uganda and Rwanda, to deport asylum seekers who fled to Israel from Eritrea and Sudan. In exchange, Israel will provide military weapons and training, agricultural aid and cash. The refugees, classified by the Israeli government as ‘infiltrators’, must leave voluntarily to a third state or face indefinite imprisonment in Israel. African Arguments 2016 Jul 21 (Story) (Cached)

Singer Jesse Hughes of the California rock band, Eagles of Death Metal, was performing at the Bataclan theater in Paris the night that terrorists stormed the venue. In a video interview several months after the incident, he said that the theater stage guards failed to come to work the night of the attack, suggesting that they must have had advance knowledge. [A few days later, he issued a public apology for his remarks and retreacted all his comments.] Fox News posted 2016 Jul 21 (Story)
Hyvinkää, Finland: A man, armed only with a kitchen knife, fought off three home invaders who had a gun and baseball bats. Because he wounded the attackers (they all survived) he received a four-year sentence for using “excessive self-defense and attempted manslaughter.” The homeowner was ordered by the judge to pay the intruders $23,000.

A California Bay Area food analytics company called Clear Labs has created a test that will gauge whether food products are, in fact, GMO-free. The test can reveal the overall percentage of genetically modified ingredients in a product and also the specific ingredients themselves. It is not clear, however, if this test will be affordable for personal or family use or will be for large institutions. Eater 2016 Jul 20 (Story) (Cached)
Wuerzburg, Germany: ISIS claimed responsibility for a knife attack on a commuter train. The terror group posted a video of the attacker, an Afghan refugee, armed with an axe and a knife, who vowed to take revenge on infidels. He was killed by police after slashing passengers. Five people were seriously injured. He lived in refugee accommodations. PBS Newshour 2016 Jul 19 (Story)
Texas Governor Greg Abbott wants the state legislature to pass a bill that would make an attack against a police officer a ‘hate crime’. Lawmakers in Massachusetts, Kentucky, Wisconsin and other states have made similar proposals. ABC Local 2016 Jul 19 (Story) (Cached)
Baton Rouge, Louisiana: Less than two weeks after Alton Sterling was killed by police, three police officers were shot dead, with three more wounded in an ambush attack by Gavin Long, who also was killed. Long, a black man from Missouri, was a former Marine. He reportedly followed several conspiracy groups, including a group called Freedom from Covert Harassment and Surveillance, whose mission is to help those who claim to be abused by remote brain experimentation and remote neural monitoring. He may also have been a member of the black separatist group, Nation of Islam. He left a video stating that he acted alone. CNN 2016 Jul 18 (Story) (Cached)
A five-year study of the eating habits of 12,000 Australian adults shows that eating fruits and vegetables can lead to a greater sense of happiness.

Nice, France: New details have emerged in the truck-rampage murders by Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel last week that killed 84 people. Seven people have been arrested in connection with the attack, including an Albanian couple who are suspected of aiding him. Another man received a text message from Bouhlel telling him to bring five more weapons to ‘C’. Mainstream media says ISIS described Bouhlel as one of its soldiers. Bouhlel fired a handgun at police before they shot him but, curiously, other weapons in the truck turned out to be fakes or replicas. Bouhlel sent $110,000 in cash to his family in Tunisia days before the attack. [That’s a lot of money for a delivery truck driver.] Telegraph 2016 Jul 17 (Story) (Cached)
A Harvard scientist has created a cyborg (organic and biomechanical body parts) by combining rat cells with silicon and gold to create a robot stingray. The cyborg is powered by the saltwater that it swims in and its direction is controlled by genetically engineered cells that are sensitive to light. He says his goal is to create a tissue engineered human heart. RT posted 2016 Jul 16 (Story)

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.
Donald Trump was able to influence some surprising changes in the GOP platform. These include (1) eliminating the call for sending weapons to Ukraine to be used against Russia and pro-Russian forces, and (2) calling for revival of the Glass-Steagall Act. Dropping the call for weaponizing Ukraine against Russia is a blow against the military industrial complex, which anticipates expanded profits from a cold or hot war with Russia. Restoring Glass-Steagall would be a blow against the banks who, once again, would be prevented from using depositors’ money to engage in speculative investments. Infowars 2016 Jul 21 (Cached)

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.
