2016 September 10 – 16

See story dated Sep. 12 regarding the fraudulent “war-on-fat” waged by the Sugar Research Foundation.

The enemy of your enemy may not be your friend

We are living in a time when it is increasingly difficult to vote for political candidates or issues that we approve. That is because they seldom are on the ballot. Candidates are carefully selected ahead of time by political power brokers, and voters are left with choosing the lesser of two evils. People no longer vote for someone. They vote AGAINST someone.

Beneath this reasoning is the idea that, in warfare, you cannot be picky about your allies, and that any enemy of your enemy is your friend. It is an alluring concept but it seldom works to your advantage, especially in politics. If you want to rid your back yard of alligators, you would be foolish to import crocodiles to chase them off.

An excellent example of this is in this week’s news. Many advocates of the war on drugs are pleased with the fact that Philippines President Duterte has quickly broken the recreational drug trade. They are not too pleased that there have been hundreds of on-the-street executions of “suspected” drug pushers and users, but they take solace in the fact that the drug problem is solved. The end justifies the means.

Now we learn that, when Duterte was Mayor of Davao, he used his police and civilian hit men to execute his political opponents as well. No drug problem anymore in the Philippines but now there is a totalitarian regime that you better not oppose. Out of the frying pan into the fire.

Philippines: Edgar Motobato testified that he was a hitman for Philippines President Duterte when Duterte was the Mayor of Davao. He said that, from 1988 to 2013, Duterte authorized the murders of 1,000 people, including political opponents. Senator Leila De Lima, who was part of the panel conducting the hearings, was the target of a failed ambush and assassination attempt by Duterte, according to Motobato. Reuters 2016 Sep 15 (Cached)

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW

Hillary Clinton faced backlash after she revealed her philosophy that children belong to the state. She did this indirectly when she said: “The choice in this election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four years of their lives,” [In her view, parents are not in the equation. All that counts is who is in power.] InfoWars 2016 Sep 16 (Story) (Cached)

Leaked emails from Colin Powell, former US Secretary of State, reveal that Israel has 200 nuclear weapons, all pointed at Iran. The Washington Post, which editorially supports the administration’s hostility toward Russia, says that Russia is linked to the email leaks. Independent UK 2016 Sep 16 (Story) (Cached)

Congress is being asked to block an amendment to Rule 41 of federal criminal procedures. The amendment allows the government to hack the computers of anyone who has been hacked [or thought to be hacked] by criminals. It also allows judges to issue search warrants in jurisdictions other than its own – even in other nations. If Congress does nothing to stop this amendment, it will go into effect on December 1.

The US war on terror has cost $5 trillion since 9/11. Meanwhile terrorism has increased by 6,500%. Only the most politically naïve could believe that the purpose of all that spending was to stop terrorism. ZeroHedge 2016 Sep 15 (Story) (Cached)

Google used a bait-and-switch scheme to attract pro-ISIS jihadis online and then direct them to an anti-ISIS video. This re-direct worked so well that Google now wants to use the same technique to manipulate web searches by what it describes as “violent” right wingers. Violent left wingers and those promoting riots and police killings are not to be included. Just right-wingers. Who are they? Whoever Google says they are. [The real question here is not if Google is doing a good thing but if it should be allowed to manipulate the attitudes of those who seek information on the Internet. Since when is a private company (or any other entity, including government) to be trusted with manipulating the flow of information? Once that power is condoned, eventually it will be abused.] RT 2016 Sep 14 (Story)

The US has signed an agreement to fund the Israeli military with American tax dollars in the amount of $38 billion over ten years.

Following her attendance at the 9/11 remembrance in New York, Hillary Clinton collapsed and was swept away in a waiting van but appeared a few hours later looking refreshed, vibrant, thinner, and with younger, smoother skin. Furthermore, the new Hillary was not swarmed by her security team upon whom she depends heavily. People across the internet are speculating that she is using a body double, because her health is in desperate decline. Compare the photos for yourself. USA Today 2016 Sep 13 (Story) (Cached)

Obama will veto a bill allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for damages. The official reason for the veto is that other countries may use that same law as an excuse to haul US officials and even corporations into courts around the world. Lawmakers are hoping to override the veto. If successful, it would be a first in Obama’s presidency. UK Independent 2016 Sep 13 (Story) (Cached)

Representative Jason Chaffetz abruptly stopped a hearing to serve a subpoena demanding the FBI’s full investigative file on the Hillary Clinton email probe. Other federal agencies at the hearing were DOJ, State Department, Department of National Intelligence, the CIA, the Geo spatial Intelligence Agency, and the NSA.

ANALYSIS

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

US mainstream media, which endlessly accuses its detractors of being ‘conspiracy theorists’, has unleashed an amazing conspiracy theory of its own. It is that Hillary Clinton’s recent collapse is not because of health problems that would prevent her from serving as President, but because she is being poisoned by secret agents of Trump or possibly Putin! In this report, James Corbett asks a serious question: Is it possible that the public is being set up for an election that, no matter which way it goes, will trigger massive riots [with a little help from professional agitators] that would provide an excuse for martial law? Please send your comments to the Unfiltered Forum here. Corbett Report 2016 Sep 14 (Story)

Obama halted the North Dakota pipeline with an executive order on the claim that it conflicted with the rights of a local Indian reservation. It made no difference that the project was 48% complete or that this matter had been decided by a federal court in favor of the pipeline. [The issue here is, not whether the pipeline placement was correct or incorrect, but that the President declared the power to override the courts – and no one in Congress challenged it.] Say Anything 2016 Sep 12 (Story) (Cached)

This is the backstory to the controversy over the North Dakota pipeline. There is much more to this than meets the eye, and most of the so-called news about it is propaganda. It involves the anti-fossil fuel movement, a clash over property rights, the Indian-heritage issue, and greed. You need to understand these issues to avoid being fooled by the propaganda. InfoWars 2016 Sep 10 (Story)

James Corbett sifts through the evidence of 9/11 to discover the role of the ‘dancing Israelis’ who took pictures of the scene and later confessed on Israeli TV to having foreknowledge of the attack. Corbett concludes that their mission was to divert attention from an Israeli spy ring that had been under investigation before 9/11 leading to the detention of 60 Israeli spies in the wake of the attack. The jaw-dropping TV news reports shown here were scrubbed from the archives by Fox News. This is a piece of the puzzle that very few Americans have seen. [Because of the attempt to remove all traces of these news reports, we suggest that you save a video copy of this program to your computer.] Corbett Report 2016 Sep 11 (Story)

James Corbett investigated the government’s response to 9/11 and found that General Ralph Eberhart played a key role in disabling standard defense procedures and, thereby, caused the largest failure to defend North American airspace in history. The official record shows that Eberhart lied in testimony to Congress and the 9/11 Commission. In spite of this, he never has been called to account and is generally considered as a 9/11 American hero. Corbett Report posted 2016 Sep 10 (Story)

TRUMP TO BE SET UP OR KNOCKED OFF?
2015 Sep 13 from Scot Srodes
Since Trump will easily be able to blame the economic reset on 8 yrs of Obama, the more likely scenario is they try to knock Trump off. I’ve been predicting a Trump win since Brexit, and I think the establishment knows it too. Since they can never permit Trump to end their rigged game, ANYTHING is on the table.

THE POLITICAL POWER OF TERMITES
2016 Sep 13 from Jerry Day
Hi Ed,
Thank you for your comment, insight and wisdom. Of course, history is no stranger to the type of tyranny you describe, but those oppressive regimes have never prevailed in the long run, and are in fact demonized and hated in the collective memory.

[The only question] appears to be how murderous and oppressive it is possible for a government to be, and for how long, when it has no public support, inadequate funding and impossible scales of debt. Those circumstances brought Rome down, and are very likely to bring down much of our current global establishment. …

You are right, we should never fight overwhelming violence with violence, that is suicide. Fortunately, intelligent resistance usually does the job as well if not better. “Non-participation” does not just refer to off-grid preppers, it is everyone who is disgusted with leadership and who finds some way to react. Termites are not violent or forceful, but enough of them can collapse a house.

CAN THE BANK TRAIN WRECK BE AVERTED?
2016 Sep 13 from Alan Myers, CPA
Good Morning Mr. Griffin
I read your email this morning regarding Trump being set up. … I agree, a massive international banking crisis will come soon. It must. The international financial and banking world is so completely interconnected that, when one big institution fails, it will suck all the others into the vortex. Such as Deutsche Bank with all its exposure to the trillions of derivative bets it is involved in. Then there is the world’s oldest bank in Italy that is on the verge.

My comment is this. Until the moment that the RMS Titanic hit the iceberg, there was an opportunity to change course. We haven’t hit the iceberg yet, but we are steaming towards it at an ever quickening pace.

We can’t cure a disease by applying only symptomatic relief. We must go after the direct cause of the disease. In this case, it is the banking system itself. For our country it is the FED. …

Bernie Madoff is doing 150 years for running his Ponzi. It’s time someone goes to jail for running the [Fed] Ponzi. I don’t think it is too late. We can stop this train wreck. And one way or another, I want to be part of this process.

TESTIMONIALS BETTER THAN DOUBLE-BLIND STUDIES
2016 Sep 12 from Chris
Hi Ed,
Regarding your reader’s comment: POOEY ON ANTI-PAIN TESTIMONIALS? 2016 Sep 7 from Rick Casey:

All my ‘evidence’ of getting well through natural means is “anecdotal” but it beats EVERYTHING the allopathic witchdoctors have tried in their attempt at poisoning and robbing me. I go with a multitude of “anecdotal” evidence IF the testimonies are honorable. In fact, I will take honest testimony ANY DAY over “double-blind studies” b/c of the politics involved in the latter. It’s all about “the take” in “commerce”.
