WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PLANNED U.S. CIVIL WAR
This week’s news is dominated, once again, with reports of violent demonstrations against the Trump administration. We have seen violent demonstrations before, but something new has been added that is profoundly significant. It is the rhetoric of civil war and revolution.
The organizations spouting civil-war rhetoric are following a playbook taken from the writings of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Communist Party. It is a rhetoric that demonizes all enemies as ‘capitalist exploiters’ (in America, where there still is a latent affinity to capitalism, the word ‘Fascism’ is preferred.) and calls for an overthrow of the government. Followers are not supposed to think about what would replace it but, for those who are curious, the answer is a ‘socialist’ government responsive, not to big business, but to the people.
You may think that, boisterous as these demonstrators are, and although they can draw a few thousand youngsters to their events, they are but a tiny fraction of the population and could never pose a serious threat to any government. But how wrong you would be.
Major political changes always are achieved by minorities. All revolutions are the work of less than three percent of the population, and the American Revolution was no exception. It’s not how many people there are, but how well organized they are and where they are. If the three percenters are influential in a nation’s power centers (political parties, government agencies, courts, military, schools, activist groups, labor unions, etc.), then the odds are in their favor. The masses will follow the winners.
When you look at the rag-tag bunch carrying placards and shouting obscenities, you may be comforted thinking that they have no influence in the real power centers, but be mindful that street theater is only half the picture. Classic communist strategy involves, not one, but two types of revolution. The first is by force and violence (they call it a war of national liberation), but the other is political and peaceful (what they call a proletarian revolution).
The two are designed to work together, one from the bottom (masses in the streets) and the other from the top (agents inside government waiting for an excuse to introduce legislation that will move the nation closer to the Leninist ideal. The strategy is, not to conquer in one fell swoop, but to do so by a series of steps, each one seen by the public as a necessary compromise to end the violence.
In 1969, I delivered a lecture on this subject, entitled More Deadly than War. That was in the day when I was hanging out at the communist book store in Los Angeles doing research on collectivism, so I was loaded with communist publications to illustrate my message. The presentation was recorded on black-and-white film, released in VHS format, and then forgotten. Someone put it on YouTube about five years ago so, when we created our Reality Zone YouTube channel last year, we copied it to that collection.
It has been almost fifty years since I gave much thought to that lecture so, when I started to write this commentary, I decided to watch it again to see what I said. Frankly, I was blown away by how every point applies directly to what is happening today.
If you are interested in my analysis, here is the link.

WEEK IN REVIEW
US: Police arrested 290 people on President Trump’s Inauguration Day on charges related to violence. 209 of the accused are facing a maximum of ten-years in jail and a fine of up to $25,000 for felony rioting charges. The charges may be difficult to prove in court due to identification problems caused by the size of the crowd and some rioters wearing masks. RT 2017 Feb 10 (Story) (Cached)
A panel of three judges on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reinstate President Trump’s executive order that temporarily banned immigrants from seven countries. The case is likely to go to the Supreme Court. Judge Napolitano argues that the judges’ decision was wrong because it substitutes “the judgement of three judges for the President of the United States when the Constitution unambiguously gives this area of jurisdiction, foreign policy, exclusively to the president.” Fox News 2017 Feb 9 (Story)
The government of India is banning the vaccine program sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation over fears that pharmaceutical-company donors tied to the Foundation are influencing its policies on vaccination. A study from the Global Policy Forum shows that the Gates Foundation is not a neutral charity but, instead, promotes neo-liberal (collectivist) economic policies and globalization, which benefits big business, especially in the fields of health and agriculture.

Last year, Apple refused to give its encryption software for the iPhone to the FBI who said they only wanted it to investigate a terrorist. Apple said that, if itdid so, the encryption code eventually would be leaked. However, an Israeli tech firm, Cellebrite, did hack the iPhone for the FBI and gave the code to the FBI. In an ironical twist, Cellebrite reports that now it has been hacked and that its decryption tools have been put online. New World Next Week 2017 Feb 9 (Story)
Duke University is sponsoring a workshop for the purpose of training students to engage in “activism’ against President Trump’s administration. The workshop provides a guide for ‘resistance’ and a link for leftist “indivisible” organizations across the country. Daily Caller 2017 Feb 9 (Story) (Cached)
Japan: Tokyo Electric Power Co reports that the radiation level near the core at Fukushima’s Reactor 2 has reached 530 sieverts per hour, far above its previous high recording of 73 sieverts per hour. (Only four sieverts would kill half of the people exposed to it). This is the first time it has been possible to get a radiation-measurement device close to the core. It is unknown, therefore, how much of the higher reading is due merely to a closer placement of the measurement device. Denver Post 2017 Feb 9 (Story) (Cached)
California: Yvette Falarca, a middle school teacher and organizer of BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), says that she was pleased with the recent UC Berkeley riots. She says that the violent event will be a blueprint for even more action against the Trump agenda. In other words, violence begetting more violence all across the country is being planned. [Of particular interest are the film clips showing that the destruction of property and setting of fires is done by men in black combat suits with masks. Watch them closely, and you will recognize that they are not protestors but professionals. This is not a grass-roots movement, but don’t expect mainstream media to focus on that fact.] Intellihub 2017 Feb 7 (Stor
Sweden: Two policemen have stepped forward to reveal the cover up of 5,000 police reports on negative activity relating to migrants. This includes theft, assaults, rape, and murder. Any calls for police action involving migrants is classified as Code 291. This is similar to Top Secret in the military. The public is not told about it, and the press must play along.

John Bates, a climate scientist with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA,) has blown the whistle on the agency. He says that, in order to create reports that support the theory of man-made global warming, the NOAA team used fraudulent data, applied methods of analysis that overstated the speed of warming, relied on software that was known to be inaccurate, never submitted data for verification by others, and failed to archive the data, making it now impossible to examine. In other words, they lied and then destroyed the evidence. Jon Rappaport 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached) For a more extensive analysis, see Exposing the Myths, #2, Freedom Force International.
President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funds from California, calling the state “out of control”, after a bill was introduced in the state Senate that would make the entire state a sanctuary for illegal aliens. In addition, a proposal for California to break away from the United States has been submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office in the state capital. ZeroHedge 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached)
Australia: An investigation found that, from 1980 through 2015, 7% of the nation’s Catholic priests have sexually abused children. 32% of the perpetrators were religious brothers, 30% were priests, 29% were lay people, and 5% were religious sisters. CNN 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached)
A man outside the Super Bowl game in Houston who identified himself as a member of Antifa, said that he believes fascism should be opposed at any cost and with any means necessary. The reporter explained that Antifa violence will bring about a police state with martial law as a response, but the leftist said that we already are in a police state. Apparently, neither the reporter nor the demonstrator are aware that the ideologies and the actions of the protestors are indistinguishable from classic fascism. InfoWars 2017 Feb 5 (Story)
Full-spectrum light is an effective healer. Dr. Alexander Wunsch explains the historical significance of photobiology, the therapeutic use of light. Before antibiotics were available, healers used sunburn as a therapeutic treatment; not so good for the skin, but great for killing pathogens..

An organization at the University of Central Florida, called The Knights of Socialism, is offering lessons in fighting and ‘fascist bashing’. It says the program is for self-defense against Trump-inspired hate crimes, but it is primarily aggressive in nature. The author of this article, published in Reason magazine, claims to be a Libertarian, and he applauds the efforts of The Knights of Socialism in the name of self-defense and the constitutional right to bear arms. [The author is no Libertarian. All of the violence seen on American streets since the Presidential election has been initiated by collectivist groups seeking ‘regime change’ through violence, if necessary. Nothing could be more remote from Libertarian principles than that. Under the banner of the Second Amendment, he (and Reason magazine) are preparing people to accept chaos and violence as the new norm.] Reason 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached)
Vizio, one of the world’s biggest makers of Smart TVs, is paying $2.2 million to settle charges that it collected viewing habits from 11-million devices without the knowledge or consent of the people watching them. Special software collected information about the videos the TVs displayed, and that was sold for the purpose of audience analysis. Visio say it never paired this information with the identities of those who owned the TVs or who watched the programs, but the technology is in place for that to be done.

California: Leader of the state Senate Kevin de Leon says that half of his family is in the United States illegally and using fake government identification,. He sees nothing wrong with this and uses this fact as a good reason that using false ID should not be justification for illegal aliens to be deported. Gateway Pundit 2017 Feb 6 (Story)

ANALYSIS
News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.
Bill Kristol, ‘conservative’ Editor of The Weekly Standard, in response to a report that white, working-class Americans have become lazy, wrote a propaganda statement that deserves to be in textbooks on brainwashing. Kristol did not challenge the basic assumption or examine the possibility that welfare is more responsible than skin color or income level. Instead, he said that “luckily” we have waves of people coming in from Italy, Ireland, Russia, and Mexico who, instead of clipping coupons and trying to hang on, want to work hard and succeed. He actually said that. Are not most of the people he mentioned considered white? Is in not true that the reason immigrants theoretically are willing to work hard is so they can join the middle class? Is it not true that many immigrants seek to clip coupons and attempt to hang on via welfare because doing so in the US is a lot easier than hanging on elsewhere? Do readers of The Weekly Standard not understand that they are being propagandized? Washington Times 2017 Feb 9 (Story)
US: A member of the Trilateral Commission has entered the Trump administration as the Deputy Assistant to the President for International Economic Affairs, where he will sit on the National Security Council.

Melissa Dykes analyses President Trump’s record of endorsing the globalist agenda. She explains why she thinks that wars in the Middle East will continue exactly as they have under Clinton, both Bushes, and Obama; why a war with Russia will continue to be favored, and why the US will continue to be a military proxy for the Israeli government. Melissa also shows why Trump gently criticizes globalist banks, but has no concrete proposals to rein in their power. This is a disturbing analysis but it does explain Trump’s selection of globalists for all important diplomatic and military positions in his administration. When he went to visit Henry Kissinger early in his campaign, could this have been the ‘deal’ that led to the ‘surprise’ defeat of Hillary? Very disturbing thought, indeed.

Melissa Dykes is on a roll. Now she shifts her analysis to Trump’s ardent followers and to those behind the scenes who are directing what might be called chaos theater, with actors from both left and right, to divide and conquer the vast majority of Americans who are being led to accept totalitarian methods so long as they are offered in the name of putting an end to the chaos. Truthstream Media 2017 Feb 7 (Story)
Phoenix, Arizona: Protests erupted after Guadalupe García de Rayos was deported back to Mexico under President Trump’s executive order that requires deportation of any illegal alien who commits a criminal offense. She has a conviction for providing a fake social security number to her employer in 2008. Her two children are American citizens. [Pardon our cinisism, but it appears that this relatively mild criminal offense was chosen as a high-profile case for CBS reporting to arouse public sentiment against the deportation policy. Why didn’t CBS choose to report on the deportation of a convicted thief, rapist, or killer?] CBS News 2017 Feb 9 (Story)
▼
US: At least 121 murders between 2010 and 2014 were committed by convicted illegal aliens who were released instead of deported. The Obama administration did not deport them because most of them came from countries that would not take them back. A Supreme Court ruling from 15 years ago says the US cannot imprison a deportable foreign national for more than six months. [This Court ruling could be overcome by legislation if legislators really wanted to do so.] Newsmax 2017 Feb 7 (Story) (Cached)
