Romney Picks Imitation Ron Paul as VP



AUGUST 11, 2012

 
Paul Ryan can sound like Ron Paul on spending and deficits, though  as a neocon, he is an ardent champion of perpetual war and global domination by the US empire. That is, he is a phony. His famous plan barely touches the government, while actually increasing “defense,” though he talks a good …
Romney Picks Imitation Ron Paul as Veep [continued]
The selection of Ryan does not add any ideological balance to the ticket.  Like Romney, Ryan is an establishment figure and this is his record that confirms it.
What are your thoughts on the pick?

Ministry of Homeland Security Rolls Out Armored Vehicles


Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
August 9, 2012
A post today on the Daily Paul website shows a fearsome black “special response team” armored vehicle on a flatbed trailer in transit somewhere in Kentucky.
The difference between this military vehicle and previous ones trotted out by the Ministry of Homeland Security is that the words “Immigration and Customs Enforcement” and “Police/Rescue” are missing.
Apparently, the pretense of a military response to armed illegal immigrants with RPGs is no longer required. I jest, but not much.
Over the last few months, the DHS has purchased millions of rounds of ammunition and an array of state-of-the-art weapons. As Mike Adams notes, the 450 million rounds of ammopurchased by the DHS is enough to wage more than 6 years of Iraq-level combat.
The DHS was established after the attacks of September 11, 2001, ostensibly to protect the homeland from terrorist attacks and as a cabinet-level bureaucracy that responds to man-made accidents and natural disasters.
Unless the government is expecting al-Qaeda to invade, there is little reason for the existence of this sort of vehicle and the stockpiling of weapons and millions of rounds of ammunition. The only logical conclusion here is that the feds are expecting the American people to revolt.
The DHS arsenal is obviously a response to the fact almost half of more than 300 million Americans own guns and a sizable number will resist any attempt by government to confiscate them.
As we reported last month, a new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists. The DHS earlier produced a report that conflates these “rightwing extremists” with white supremacists and others who are supposedly recruiting returning veterans.
The latest mass shooting psyop in Wisconsin has set in place the narrative that white supremacists — who the government considers indistinguishable from folks suspicious of government –  represent a violent threat demanding government response.

21 More Questions And Inconsistencies You Will Not Hear About In The Batman Massacre Case

By Kazi Kearse

August 3, 2012 



The number of inconsistencies and questions continue to grow in the movie theatre massacre in Aurora Colorado. My previous article, “ 21 Questions You Will Not Hear Asked About The Dark Night Movie Massacre” went viral on Facebook, and showed that many people were not buying the story from the government / media about a lone gunman, named James Holmes being the lone guman. As the days followed, however, the number of inconsistencies and questions continued to grow. I now present to you
21 MORE Inconsistencies and Questions You Will Not Hear Asked About The Movie Massacre”…


1. THE GAG ORDERS

At first I was pleasantly surprised that they would let us see more of the courtroom proceedings. When he walked into the court room it immediately fueled the exact kind of debate the powers that be do not want us having. Such as “are we being manipulated” and by “whom”, because once we reach a consensus on that then the power elite have lost control of the game, or control of the “operation”.

First Gag Order:

The judge put out the first gag order a couple of days AFTER the first court appearance.
He claims that he wanted to keep the case from becoming a media circus. This could possibly be believable, but it was the second gag order, that gave raised the first red flag, and made them show their hand to any of us who are awake and watching.

You see, at first they thought they could use the images from the trial to HELP THEM build support for a death penalty case They wanted to “Tim McVay him”.
Tim McVay was the man accused of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Much like James Holmes, he was a mind controlled patsy that they dumped the blame for the bombing on and even after proof of other accomplices emerged they were able to keep the death penalty case together.

Second Gag Order:

2. WHY WOULD HIS OWN LAWYERS GAG THEMSELVES?

This so called team of lawyers are either the worst lawyers in the world or have been purposely put in to lose the case for the defense. I believe the later.

 Why would his lawyers let him continue to keep his dyed red hair?

Why have they been allowed to represent him, even after his father came into town?

They and his father didn’t even have him shave for EITHER court hearing?

These questions raise serious doubts over who is looking out for James’s rights, and protections to get a fair trail.

Parents have been well known to come out swinging from their law camps, such as both sides of the Zimmerman / Treyvon Martin Case. Whatever you say about the charges, you can’t say that the parent’s have not been out front with legal actions and media interviews to protect their children’s rights and outcomes.

Are We Being Manipulated?

3.  POLICE STATE ROLL OUT

The Roll Out is an official release to coordinate law enforcement and inter agency communication during a crisis. In the decade since 9/11, great strides have been made to increase intelligence-information sharing between the intelligence community and law-enforcement entities. Billions of dollars have been spent to increase awareness and preparedness for another potential terrorist attack.

Firefighters and EMS providers may encounter these TTPs while responding to, operating at and returning from emergencies, as well as in the course of their normal duties. To better engage in situational awareness and terrorism prevention, the fire/EMS communities must understand the current threat environment and how it impacts their daily operations.

The Interagency Threat Assessment and Coordination Group (ITACG) is a group of state and local first responders assigned to National Counterterrorism Center with federal-intelligence analysts for the purpose of integrating, analyzing and assisting in the dissemination of federally coordinated information.
ITACG law-enforcement personnel developed and designed the Roll Call Release (RCR) as a one-page document highlighting a single TTP. As the product matured, it has been repurposed to include fire, EMS and security personnel as its target audience.


The Roll Call for May 17th ( right at the time Holmses’ sanity began nose diving ) says “Terrorist’s Interest In Attacking Theatre And Similar Mass Gatherings”
Where they prepared for Holmes’s false flag? I have to admit a red flag for me was when police arrived to the scene in under 60 – 90 seconds! I can maybe understand a police car in the area responding in that time, but they had whole Tactical Teams arriving fully geared up at the movie theatre site, and even at his home, only a few minutes later. 
This is typical in false flag and mind control staged events. They are little “tells” where the planners slip up and over due some response or action…. Such as during 9/11 the reporter reads off a teleprompter that Building 7 has collapsed into it’s footprint, mean while the building is standing up fine behind her, and doesn’t collapse for another 20 minutes ( into it’s footprint ).


4.  AMNESIA IS A CLASSIC SYMPTOM OF MIND CONTROL / TRAUMA

James Holmes, the suspected shooter in last week's movie theater massacre, has told his Coloradojailers he doesn't know why he's locked behind bars, the Daily News reports.

As a trained psychotherapist I can tell you that MOST people who have undergone severe trauma or report to be Mind Control Victims, report that they have Amnesia concerning the actual event.
Project MKUltra, or MK-Ultra, was a covert, illegal human research program into behavioral modification run by the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Office of Scientific Intelligence. The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and finally halted in 1973. It controversially used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects.. MKUltra involved the use of many methodologies to manipulate people's individual mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
The research was undertaken at 80 institutions, including 44 colleges and universities, as well as hospitals, prisons and pharmaceutical companies.The CIA would operate through these institutions using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions would be aware of the CIA's involvement. MKUltra was allocated 6 percent of total CIA funds.

5.  MAJOR TERRORISM DRILL WAS PRACTICED IN SAME AREA

Project Mountain Guardian was a large scale terrorism drill held in 2011. Is it another “coincidence” that it was held in the same area as the - soon to be – real terrorist / lone gunman attack incident? Is it a “coincidence” that his attack would include shooting, bombs, and gas cans ?... Just like in the drills…????

More than 100 agencies from several different jurisdictions are taking part in a terrorism attack drill, the largest ever performed in Denver. The mock terror drill, Operation Mountain Guardian, will simulate four coordinated terrorist attacks in the Denver metro area, according to Fox31. Operation MountainGuardian is modeled after the tragic Mumbai, India terrorist incident from Nov., 2008.
According to 7News, the drill will be conducted in 10 different locations around the Denver metro area. Notice the types of places selected:
  • Park Meadows Mall
  • Smedley Elementary School 
  • Denver Union Station
  • Community College of Aurora (Lowry Campus)
  • Denver International Airport 

6. THE GUN CONTROL AGENDA

Literally from the moment the bullets stopped flying in Aurora Colorado there has been an all out and consistent attack on our 2nd Amendment Rights:

President Obama Tries To Push Through UN Gun Ban ::::::::::: FAILED

Mayor Bloomberg Pushes For Forced Gun Ban::::::::::::::::::::::: FAILED

Congress Attempts To Push Through Gun Control:::::::::::::::::: ?????????
By hiding it inside their recently passed Cyber Security Act

“Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act” requires anyone selling ammunition to be a licensed dealer. It requires ammunition buyers who are not licensed dealers to present photo identification at the time of purchase, effectively banning the online or mail order purchase of ammo by regular civilians. It requires licensed ammunition dealers to maintain records of the sale of ammunition. It also requires licensed ammunition dealers to report the sale of more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to an unlicensed person within any five consecutive business days.

Cyber Security Act

Petition Against UN Gun Control Ban


7.  JAMES HOLMES’S FATHER… WHO IS HE REALLY….????
 
The reality of who James’s father is and who he will be portrayed to be may be two different things in the coming weeks. The media will show him to be a concerned father, but what they won’t tell you is that he has known connections to DARPA and was about to testify internationally on the biggest financial scam in history.

If he worked for the cabal, or against them, his son was his burn notice…

burn notice is an official statement issued by an intelligence agency to other agencies. It states that an asset or intelligence source is unreliable for one or more reasons.This is essentially a directive for the recipient to disregard or "burn" all information derived from that individual or group. 

You don’t have to put a bullet in someone’s head to kill them. You can kill their credibility. You can kill their will. You can reach someone who is not reachable by going through their family…

According to his LinkedIn profile, James Holmes’s father, Dr. Robert Holmes, who received a PhD in Statistics in 1981 from the University of California at Berkeley, worked for San Diego-based HNC Software, Inc. from 2000 to 2002. HNC, known as a “neural network” company, and DARPA, beginning in 1998, have worked on developing “cortronic neural networks,” which would allow machines to interpret audio and visual stimuli to think like humans.

As was reported by Deadline Live with Jack Blood…..Just prior to the shooting in Aurora Colorado, where James Holmes the son of Robert Holmes the software developer allegedly killed 12 and injured over 50 others, a scandalous report was issued in the United kingdom about the LIBOR scandal where it has been discovered that much of the wealth held by the so called 99 percent is being held in offshore accounts far away from the taxman and that there is software that is now being used to track and expose those who are abusing the system.

It is just too coincidental to not be eerily synchronistic. This software has been said to be able trace the Trillions of Dollars that have just vaporized into thin air. All of the spending in theory could be traced to the exact bank accounts of the elite thugs who have stolen it.


8. WHAT IS LIBOR… AND IT’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE SHOOTING???

LIBOR =  London Inter Bank Offer Rate = Rate banks charge each other to lend to you

The problem is that it only works if banks are honest with each other and if there are regulators who really investigate the banks and are not in bed with them. By this “rate” being all a lie, then it means that there can be no trust in the banking system… The whole banking system, all around the world !!!!

What makes matters worst is that not only was the LIBOR rate manipulated by the big banks, but money from the cheating was diverted into secret accounts. This was your money…. Our money !!!

The United States Senate is so concerned, that they are looking into it, and in the next few weeks are planning to call before them some of the biggest names dealing with LIBOR today.

Now, that’s where James Holmes’s father comes in. Reportedly ( there’s some debate about this ) he “coincidently” happens to be the senior scientist who created the tracking software that can tell us in whose bank accounts the LIBOR money was diverted to
 ( TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS )   $$$$$$$$$$

Still think the batman shooting massacre was done by a “lone gunman “..????


9.   TWO SHOOTERS…OR MORE..
 

Dispatcher: At 0149, a report from an officer at the scene states that “it’s gonna be a Hyundai Accent, Tennessee plates…directly in front of the doors. Charcoal color, possible just a thermos but it’s covered up. Possible secondary device. Registered to an address out of Columbia TN “clear”
At 0155, an officer breaks the temporary radio silence with the following report:
“It sounds like we have possibly two shooters. One that was in theater 8…and one that came in from the outside theater 9. It sounds like it was a coordinated attack.”
Witnesses see one man ( believed to be Holmes, but no one described his bright red hair ) get up from his seat in the moive theatre when his phone rang. This person then got up and went to the exit door. At this point he either let in the shooter(s), or depending on which version you believe, went out to the car, changed into his black opps oufit, and re entered the theatre gunsblazing... ( How come we don't see ANY of the security camera footage )....





NYPD Unveils Crime- And Terror-Fighting ‘Domain Awareness System’

Domain Awareness System (credit: CBS 2)
August 9, 2012


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A dramatic new way to track criminals and potential terrorists was unveiled Wednesday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.
It melds cameras, computers and data bases capable of nabbing bad guys before they even know they’re under suspicion.
If a suspicious package is left at a location by a terrorist the NYPD will now be able to instantly tap into video feeds to look back in time to see who left it there, and that’s just one of the many things the NYPD’s new high-tech “Domain Awareness System” can do, CBS 2′s Marcia Kramer reported
“We are not your mom and pop police department anymore. We are in the next century. We are leading the pack,” Bloomberg said.

Is Gun Control Really a Good Idea? Watch This First Before You Decide...

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
August 9, 2012

With the recent shootings at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, and the one in Colorado at a theater, there has been an outry by liberals to ban assault rifles, handguns, and the amount of bullets a handgun clip can carry.

The President and some in Congress have also been promoting the U.N Guns Ban Treaty.

Before you think about taking away Americans' rights to keep and bear arms, I suggest you watch the movie below. PLEASE watch the entire film. Send this article link to everyone you know!!!



In this powerful documentary produced by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (http://jpfo.org), you will learn how governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped them from the face of the earth.
This is the true story of Gun control from around the world, especially in the 20th century. It details how governments have ALWAYS BEEN the biggest threat to the safety, security and prosperity of the people. While Americans can see how this could happen in other countries, most can't EVER imaging it being able to happen here because there are so many rights guaranteed by the constitution. But that ONLY when the people STAND UP for those rights, because it's the nature of government to constantly try and TAKE them away from us. 
The producers of this film encourage copies of this film to be distributed as far and wide as possible, with the understanding that this permission is granted ONLY for non-commercial use. You can buy a DVD copy of this and other films at http://shop.jpfo.org/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=110 and http://jpfo.org/ 
Our forefathers, weary of the oppressive measures that King George III's government forced upon them, in common declared their independence from England in 1776. They were not expected to be successful in that resistance. The moneyed people had backed England for two major reasons. First, our forefathers wanted a rigid, written Constitution "set in concrete." 
"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms," wrote Thomas Jefferson.
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed — unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms," argued James Madison.
As Thomas Jefferson said "Experience has shown that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted into tyranny".

Military Wargames to Quell Tea Party Insurrectionists


Infowars.com
Aug 8, 2012
An academic study about the future use of the military as a peacekeeping force within the United States written by a retired Army Colonel depicts a shocking scenario in which the U.S. Army is used to restore order to a town that has been seized by Tea Party “insurrectionists”.

Armored Military Vehicles To Patrol Wisconsin Neighborhoods


Model previously used to hunt insurgents in Afghanistan
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Armored military vehicles of the type used to hunt for insurgents in Afghanistan are set to patrol roads in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin as part of a training exercise on behalf of the U.S. Army Reserve.
“(Capt. William) Geddes said the U.S. Army Reserve wanted to alert the public to the training dates so residents are not alarmed when a pack of heavily armored military vehicles is driving around the county,” reports Sheboyganpress.com.
The exercises are being run despite the fact that troops driving the M1117 Armored Security Vehicles have already received their basic training. “They’re vehicles that these military officers might use if they’re deployed, patrol vehicles,” Geddes said, adding that the drills were to ensure that officers didn’t get “rusty” in handling the M1117s.
The vehicles, which have been used overseas in Afghanistan, are described as being “strange,” “intimidating” and “heavily armored,” while being the same size as a large SUV.
Local authorities have apparently not even been briefed about the planned exercises, which will run until August 17.
“Sheboygan County Administrator Adam Payne said he had not heard about the training exercises. Two city officials declined to comment, because they also had heard nothing about the training,” states the report.
  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Geddes urged citizens not to create safety hazards on the roads by stopping to gaze at the vehicles.
The increasing phenomena of military training drills taking place away from military bases and amidst the general public has led to fears that the American people are being acclimatized to accept a potential future declaration of martial law.
Back in June, residents in St Louis were shocked to see heavily armored U.S. Army vehicles patrolling neighborhoods as part of an exercise. However, the local media responded by featuring ‘vox pops’ interviews with people who supported the use of the military in order to “cut down on crime,” despite the fact that using the Army for domestic law enforcement is forbidden under the Posse Comitatus Act.
Advocating that America ape foreign countries where troops patrol the streets, one resident told Fox 2, “I think it’s the same way when you go to other countries…they don’t have police officers they have troops, and I think it kind of scares a lot of people…it might cut down on a whole lot of crime because they don’t know if they’re military or the police.”
“I think it’s fantastic because it might slow down some of the crime rate,” added another.
Predictions of mass civil unrest have fueled fears that the federal government and the U.S. Army are gearing up for domestic disorder. Both the U.S. Army and the Department of Homeland Security recently purchased large quantities of riot gear in anticipation of trouble at the upcoming DNC, RNC and the presidential inauguration. The DHS has also purchased 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow point bullets.
A recently leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.
On page 20 of the manual, rules regarding the use of “deadly force” in confronting “dissidents” are made disturbingly clear with the directive that a, “Warning shot will not be fired.”
As an example of how high tensions are running, the following You Tube video, which shows over a hundred tanks being transported through Burbank, California, is also causing consternation amongst those that fear some form of martial law could be just around the corner.

Federal Court Upholds the Herding of Demonstrators Into “Free Speech Zones”


Mac Slavo
SHTFplan.com
Aug 8, 2012
There was once a group of men who established a fundamental law of the land that allowed the people of their new found country to peaceably assemble and petition their government for a redress of grievances. These founding fathers of that Great nation even went so far as to declare that the government itself could never make a law that would threaten to supplant these protections, which were reserved exclusively for the people. This concept of freedom of assembly and protest was so critical to protecting and preserving the liberty of the people that it was the very first law – the very first Amendment – proposed by the newly elected representatives of These United States of America and came into effect on December 15, 1791.

It’s frightening what just a couple of hundred years of politicking, self serving greed and expediency can do to a nation. Apparently, somewhere along the way, politicians and judges who hold their personal views in higher regard than those laws upon which this nation was founded, have taken it upon themselves to decide what’s best for the American people and that, perhaps, we have a little too much liberty:
A federal appeals court has upheld the creation of no demonstration zones, which prohibit free speech in certain public areas.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals released a ruling yesterday upholding a lower court’s decision that also declared such zones as being permissible. The opinion was penned by Judge Dennis Jacobs on behalf of a three judge panel that included Judges Pierre Leval and Debra Ann Livingston, two of whom are Republican judges appointed by George H.W. Bush.
The case surrounded an arrest that took place in 2004 when Michael Marcavage of Repent America and Steve Lefemine of Columbia Christians for Life attended the Republican National Convention in Madison Square Garden to address the large number of pro-abortion speakers at the event, including Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
According to court records, the two were standing on the public sidewalk holding signs when they were approached by police. The police officer informed the men that they could not stand in their particular location because it had been marked by officials as being a “no demonstration” zone.
When the men asked where they could go to engage in free speech activity,the officer directed them to a free speech zone located a block awayfrom the entrance of Madison Square Garden. The area, which police had specifically erected for demonstrations, was the only location where expressive activity was allowed to take place during the event. Individuals of varying and opposite opinions were forced to stand together in one consolidated and caged area, which included a stage with a microphone.
Marcavage and Lefemine complied by walking away from the area alongside the officers and toward the zone that the NYPD had established. As they walked and were questioning the police about the purpose and reasoning behind the zones, they were placed under arrest for not relocating to the area fast enough.
“They took us to an abandoned warehouse where they funneled hundreds of people into cages that they had set up for this purpose,” Marcavage explained. “They treated us like cattle.
Only those who agree with the message being delivered at a particular political or public event are now authorized to assemble in or around these areas. Anyone else is relegated to the cattle cages out of view of the public, the media and the officials at whom their protest or grievance is directed.
These zones are the very antithesis of free speech.
And it’s not just judges ruling by decree that are stripping us of our right to assemble and protest. In fact, the 1st Amendment itself has been, per recent Congressional action, overridden by a new law that was passed earlier this year. The Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act now allows national and local authorities to declare any venue they so choose as an “event of national significance,” at which point anyone who is found to be demonstrating in those areas can be charged under Federal criminal statutes.
The new legislation allows prosecutors to charge anyone who enters a building without permission or with the intent to disrupt a government function with a federal offense if Secret Service is on the scene.
It’s not just the president who would be spared from protesters, either.
Covered under the bill is any person protected by the Secret Service. Although such protection isn’t extended to just everybody, making it a federal offense to even accidently disrupt an event attended by a person with such status essentially crushes whatever currently remains of the right to assemble and peacefully protest.
In the text of the act, the law is allowed to be used against anyone who knowingly enters or remains in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so…
Under that verbiage, that means a peaceful protest outside a candidate’s concession speech would be a federal offense…
With the definitions for “domestic terrorism” now taking on a broad scope and encompassing almost any activity deemed as such by the Department of Homeland Security and federal authorities, it is only a matter of time before peaceful demonstrators are not only detained for their criminal terroristic activities, but held indefinitely under US anti-terrorism laws like the National Defense Authorization Act.
That members of our Congress and appointed Federal judges would first create, then uphold, such laws designed to explicitly enact regulations in direct and overt violation of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights is nothing short of a treasonous action.
It is, by all accounts, a betrayal of the people of this country and of the established laws of the land.

Report: U.S. military covered up ‘Auschwitz-like’ hospital conditions

The Raw Story
August 8, 2012


Screenshot of Dawood Hospital via Buzzfeed
 
A set of shocking images released by Buzzfeed Tuesday (Warning: graphic pictures)detail in horrifying fashion allegations that the head of the U.S. military’s training program in Afghanistan covered up “Auschwitz-like” conditions at the Afghan National Military Hospital.
The report compiles more than 70 pictures and 120 documents submitted as part of an investigation into conditions at Dawood National Military Hospital, part of National Training Mission Afghanistan (NTM-A). The Associated Press reported that two retired Army colonels told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last month that in 2010, NTM-A commander Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell called for an investigation request to be retracted because of the congressional elections that year.
Caldwell asked how they could make that kind of request with elections coming, Col. Mark Fassl testified, adding that Caldwell said, “He calls me Bill,” a reference to President Barack Obama.
