10 Ways To Spot a False Flag Mass Shooting

Activist Post
by Joe Wright

Real or fake, these mass shooter events are pregnant with consequences.

After the Sandy Hook shooting, Connecticut passed strict gun laws and they’re trying to pass invasive homeschooling laws because alleged shooter Adam Lanza was reportedly homeschooled.

After the Chattanooga hoax, several Governors signed executive orders allowing the National Guard to be armed at all times. The Charleston church shooting hoax resulted in the banning of the Confederate flag.

Jade Helm Begins Without Media Access

MemoryHole Blog
Source: RT

There has been an almost complete media blackout of the Jade Helm military exercises in US corporate news media. Exceptions have involved brief but intense disparagement of alternative media outlets and “right wing” citizen groups concerned over the fact that the US military is embarking on Special Operations reconnaissance on US soil and merging operations with federal and local law enforcement–ominous signs of imminent martial law. Tellingly reportage of Jade Helm’s debut is being presented in non-US media outlets. -James F. Tracy

The controversial military drill spanning seven states known as Jade Helm 15 has officially begun, but with no media allowed to cover the exercises, people have taken to Twitter to speculate on and poke fun at the hysteria surrounding the war games.

Published on Dec 6, 2014 This video contains all the information necessary for anyone to ascertain on their own, that NO ONE DIED at Sandy Hook on Dec. 14th 2012, and that the whole production was staged for disarming the public, and MONEY RAISING for the actors and liars of Newtown.

LOADING THE TRAILER TO YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT



The plan was and still is to load the trailer to all the group member’s respective channels. And, I’m talking about uploading the video not mirroring it. Rather than attempt to schedule a blitz, I’d rather just provide what you need to load your own version and just say, “the sooner the better!”



First, the trailer is only 2:14 long, so the file is only 62MB. Here’s a direct link to it, which will be easier to download by right-clicking and choosing to “Save file…” or whatever your browser says…



Raw Video for Upload to Your Channel: ‪http://mediasolidarity.com/group/WNTT...‬

(

PLEASE consider loading a virgin version just as is, without any added content. You can create a mix or whatever you’d like in addition to the original. Not a direct order. Just asking so we can start maintaining a consistency and for some stats reasons.)



To accompany the video, here’s the appropriate thumbnail image (for those that have custom thumbability)…

Censorship of independent media and overly stringent copyright policies have turned YouTube into
an unfair ecology. As such, the video can be viewed at the above link, right on our site.



Independent Media Solidarity is a loose knit group of independent journalists that have come together to tackle the issue of Sandy Hook. We are normal people with normal lives, who have families, children,
and jobs. Although many of us haven't physically met each other, we are united. All we seek are answers to the many inconsistencies. But most importantly, we just want the truth made available to all who
might seek it.



Over the past 2 years, efforts to explain and expose the Sandy Hook event may seem to have slowed down.  We never slowed down.

Is This a Joke? British Police Push for Ban on Pointy Knives

Daily Sheeple

Among second amendment advocates, it’s been frequently argued that any effort to control the sale and use of firearms, even if it sounds reasonable, will lead us down a slippery slope towards all out gun control. Efforts to limit magazine capacities and register firearms are just the first steps toward banning and confiscating all guns. And it won’t end there, of course. Before you know it, the nanny state will start banning knives and kitchen cutlery! What a joke.

Except it’s not a joke anymore. You only need to take a look at the headlines in Britain to witness the absurdity of “knife control” at its best.

The new “Save a Life – Surrender Your Knife” program is in full swing and police are telling us that they have joined forces with an already growing trend in the United Kingdom to ban “pointy” knives.

Lancashire Police tell us that an “amnesty” program began at the end of August, and “more than 800 knives have been handed in across the county – including swords, machetes and commando knives.”

“The amnesty was extended for a further week owing to its success,” Lancashire Police representatives explained.

The Lancashire department explains that their “officers have now given their backing to a national initiative designed to raise awareness of knife crime and encourage the surrender of dangerous weapons.”

In spite of the amnesty ending this week, police tell us that “people can continue to hand in any knife at any police station with a front counter as well being able to drop them into the designated bins.”

In the United States, the gun buyback program is a classic example of a nanny state successfully cowing members of the population into giving up their weapons. Only a completely lobotomized population would stand in line all day for the “privilege” of being disarmed by the local police. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that someday, a similar program would be used to collect knives as well.

Unfortunately, the absurdity of the situation doesn’t end there.

“We’ve been delighted with the response so far, but our communities have told us that they want an end to knife crime and that they want to work with us to make that happen.”

A call from the British Medical Journal was published several years ago, arguing that “many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon,” according to the BBC.

Knife crime? Is that what they’re calling it? You can’t just refer to it as a violent crime, or a crime of passion. Apparently knives are special and scary. I had no idea that there was such a big difference between being murdered with a knife and being murdered with a cricket bat, or a crowbar.

What if in another 20 years, they’re asking you to turn in all blunt object that are capable of bludgeoning someone? After that they’ll ask you to turn in your shoelaces so you don’t hang yourself. I imagine most people wouldn’t want to live in a world where literally everything can be dangerous, therefore, everything is illegal.

If you think I’m exaggerating, take a look at the facebook page for the Lancashire Police Department. They subtly hint at their true intentions.

While projects encouraging the surrender of knives are not a single solution to violence, they have an important role to play in inspiring communities to get behind education and preventative measures.

You can’t laugh about it. It’s not a joke anymore. There is no longer any limit to what can be controlled and regulated. Most people would have laughed hysterically if you told them there would be calls for knife control someday. And not just butterfly knives and switchblades, but apparently, anything that is “pointy”.

Researchers “consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen. None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.”

I just… I don’t know what to say. Should I laugh or should I cry?

Ok Britain, we need to talk. Let’s call it an intervention. I know Americans aren’t perfect, and sometimes people from other countries with different perspectives can look at our culture and tell us “hey, what you’re doing there is pretty bad”. The rampant prescription drug abuse, the overflowing prisons, the income inequality… all that stuff. We certainly have problems, and sometimes it takes someone from the outside to look at it and tell us how bad it is.

But in this case, I think we know what we’re talking about. You’ve got a serious problem. You’re no longer trying to make people safer. You’re building a prison around them, and you’re out of control. Once you ran out of guns to confiscate, you started taking away the cutlery. Are you insane? Do you have some impulsive desire to be disarmed? Do your people feel the need to embrace weakness and collectivism?

Whatever it is, I hope you find help soon. Because as an American looking at this from the outside, you look and sound completely mad.

I know there’s still a lot of awesome freedom loving Brits out there. If you’re reading this, tell us what you think in the comments

Biggest Move Yet to Destroy Freedom Rights – Secret Courts

12160 . com

‘The art of distraction’ - whilst we’re all looking in one direction and “they” know that they’ve got our attention with the help of “their” worldwide media covering a subject so close to our hearts and home and that affects all of us, - such as discovering we’ve been chomping of horsemeat in the guise of being a cow - and that this “news” dominated the world headlines for some weeks, though that mainly affected the working class masses, - so to help distract the middle-classes and fundamental Christian's all the attention was at Westminster and focused on whether to allow gay marriage in church,

...that under these guises; “they” were really working on another plan, - a plan much more sinister than finding out about horsemeat being in your burger or if Jesus would be turning in his grave, as "they" quietly used the Lions Paw and raised the corpse of its ‘Secret Justice’ Bill - that creates extraordinary new legal powers to keep official dealings hidden from us and to be able to detain people forever!

And it’s because of how important this plan is to “them”, that it appears “they” knew all along that this “horsemeat scandal” and gay marriage issue would soon hit the fan and that that these distractions would be the ideal time to sneak-in their secret agenda; as “they” recently slipped through this Justice and Security Bill.
 

This will include “Secret Court Hearings”, where you will have no right to legal representation or even be able to represent yourself!

What’s more revelatory about this Orwellian move, is that when such actions are taken, then we have to question; ‘Why is it MPs seem to work more easier as a “collective” when it comes to these types of Bills - and who are backing it?, yet why would they? Normally they're at odds with each other. Okay so you get the odd MP such as David Davis moaning and groaning, but that’s the act, it’s a game they are playing.

Why do they always seem to agree to such an introduction of unjust Bills knowing full well they should have nothing to do with them? After all the people didn’t vote for them to then sit down and devise plans on how to round up and imprison their fellow man. They are our public servants.

So it’s obvious the “orders” for those in the House of Commons come from an “outside” source and influence, - that you’ll find the majority of these members of parliament, and of course the U.S. Congress - and in fact all our worldwide governments - are also members of the very same secret society. There are at least three Masonic Lodges inside the Houses of Parliament alone.

How on earth can we permit them to be able to demand even more secrecy, when it should be the complete opposite; – the world is crying out for transparency – not more secrecy!

Just look at the colossal amounts of police and government cover-ups there’s recently been, let alone what’s happened in the past; Dr Kelly’s murder, WMD, and war on Iraq lie, - 9/11 and the 7/7 London bombings, the Hillsborough disaster, Jimmy Savile crisis and with the help of the BBC in general, who we know blatantly deceive and pump-out the Illuminati cabals own propaganda. Even when things are meant to be in the ‘open’, they have for years been covering-up in secret, yet they want even more secrecy!

This secrecy means if similar circumstances were to arise again, such as the outcome of the recent Hillsborough Inquiry, bringing justice to 97 families, then this type of case would have never even been heard of, as this new Bill gives the authorities the ability to keep the truth hidden and a secret forever.

Not overlooking the often strange happenings that start to take place just prior or after such travesties like 9/11, and that new laws are always introduced following such major events – and that the public has to be convinced; ‘it’s the right thing to do.’ What recently took place in Aurora and Sandy Hook; goes without saying these are the kinds of acts and travesties “they” need in order for them to then have the guile and say why they need to introduce such draconian measures, which were brought in by the Bush Administration follow 9/11.

Despite Obama recently announcing and backing a ban on automatic rifles etc., the fact of the matter is that there’s been an increase in Homeland Security in the USA and who have recently bought enough bullets that could shoot the entire U.S. population five times over with its 1.5billion rounds of hollow-point bullets, - which must be food for thought: ‘1.5billion bullets, - who are they really for then?’

Yet the biggest threat of them all and what affects everyone single one of us, is the introduction of The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that gives power to the U.S. military to be able to arrest without any charges and indefinitely detain any American citizen for any reason and on grounds that the military does not even have to disclose to anyone!

This is a blatant abuse and disregard to habeas corpus, whereby any citizen cannot be detained for prosecution by a court of law without due process, and essentially having the right to know the charges being brought against him and the right to legal representation. This almost the same as our own Justice and Security Bill. We know what starts over there, and vice-versa, soon comes about as being law in either of our countries or continents.

This has nothing to do with “Terrorists” that we know are homemade and financed by the likes of the CIA and our own government Black-Ops programmes, so therefore invented, meaning their whole existence is false, - and that it is all to do with controlling us - and not some bloke with a rag on his head and flip-flops on his feet.

In the UK, if the Justice and Security Bill [1] becomes law this will permit judicial trials to be held in secret. Worst still it will even be illegal to tell anyone about it! This bill has now gone through all stages in the House of Commons and has been presented to the House of Lords for consideration, - which isn’t good news, for they too are members of the very ‘same’ secret society, - that they know such a Bill is in the interest of their society, that admits it’s a ‘society with secrets’!


The main slime-ball behind the introduction of this bill in the Commons is the Justice Minister Kenneth Clarke. His incredibly sad excuse for the purpose of the bill is to enable the government to defend itself against civil claims ‘with claimants typically seeking significant amounts in damages’, - when it’s more to do with the facts of the case that will no doubt reveal highly sensitive and embarrassing information if it was to become public. And besides, it’s the taxpayer who foots the bill, and a bill most don’t mind paying for, if it means everyone in life is entitled to the same legal rights and protection.

Remember; “Life’s a stage...” and all around us is “theatre”, which means the House of Commons is full of the “bad guys” and the House of Lords the “good guys”, whereas when the “bad guys” try and introduce a really dodgy Bill, they then bat it over to the ‘good guys’ who job it is, is to oppose such a Bill, find holes in it, etc. and then bat it back again after rejecting it.

The Lords passed two safeguards to slow the process down. The first said judges could grant the Government a secret hearing ‘only if other alternatives had already been considered, like, for example, asking permission from the judge in a case to withhold sensitive evidence altogether, under the longstanding system of ‘public interest immunity’, which is as good as a ‘yes’ anyway.

The second safeguard stated that judges could allow a secret hearing only after balancing the Government’s demand for one against the historic legal principle that justice must always be open, - which again is a ‘go-ahead’ and hardly a rejection or argument.

In mid February 2013 the passage of Amendment 55, was moved by the junior Justice Minister James Brokenshire, and both these safeguards were swept away. ‘In practice, it will now be very difficult for a judge to resist a closed hearing,’ one legal analyst said. - Under this Bill, it is now possible a prisoner in a British jail who tried to challenge his detention in the courts would remain incarcerated without hearing the evidence against him.

With this law passed the Government could insist on a closed, secret hearing, where it could present evidence denying such claims and no one could challenge it, because no one directly affected by the case would ever know what it was.

Though all this is just an “illusion” and gives the desired effect that it looks like we live in an open and honest democracy, and that it’s being given a fair and open hearing.

On the 5th February 2013, the same day of the vote on gay marriages, “they” slipped through the vote in the select committee which was rushed through at the last minute. The vote was held at the very same [time] as members were in the lobbies voting on the gay marriage Bill.

This law, when passed, as it will be, can then be applied to all and any offence, such as a traffic accident. If wanted, the accused persons will never be told of what they are charged off, and of course it is very unlikely they would be found ‘not guilty’ under such circumstances, as why else arrest under such? Activists could become main targets, as they’d never know why they are even being detained and could start disappearing without any legal process!

Shep Smith And Judge Napolitano Eviscerate Obama's 'Reprehensible' Drone Strike Policy

XRepuplic TV



Less than 24 hours after Senator Rand Paul's filibuster of John Brennan's appointment to the CIA over to White House's policy on droning American citizens, Judge Napolitano and Fox News anchor Shepard Smith railed against the controversial policy saying that even the discussion of its legality was "the craziest thing in the world."

Shortly after speaking with a Fox News reporter on Capitol Hill, Smith brought Napolitano, a Fox News libertarian contributor, onto his show to get his take on the president's drone policy. Napolitano explained to Smith that this fight began when the Bob Mueller, the head of the FBI couldn't explain if an American could be killed by a drone on American soil. Mueller said that they should "ask the White House" according to Napolitano.

Napolitano proceeded to walk Smith through the mixed messages administration officials provided on the question of whether or not the president has the authority to kill Americans on American soil without trial, specifically with a drone.

"There's many a slip between the cup and the lip," the judge said explaining the confusing response on this.

Smith suggested that all the confusion on what the actual official drone policy is has created a ripe breeding ground for conspiracy theorists to charge the administration with all kinds of things. He then went on to trash the growing surveillance culture in America.

"It's bad enough that they're putting the things up watching us. It's bad enough they have cameras on every corner, and stopping us, you know, if your car runs a redlight. Now all we're sure of is if I'm engaged in combat -- unless I am -- they can't kill me while I am sitting at the cafe down the street. I'm not sure they can't look in my window," Smith said.

The judge then explained the case of Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16 year-old that were both American citizens and killed by drones without any trial. Smith expressed outrage over an incident where former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs was pressed on this at the 2012 presidential debates he said that al-Awlaki should have had a more responsible father.

"It's reprehensible," said Napolitano.

"Now you understand why this question came about. If a government thinks it can do this and speak glibly about it and they can do it because he was in Yemen, can they do it he is in Greenwich Village.

Smith noted it's a slippery slope and said "If we have to ask this question even then we've gone so far beyond what that document has to say then we really need some mirror work."

Two-Tier 'Privileged Flyer' Program Advances in EU: Non-Approved Unable to Fly?

The Daily Bell
Staff Report

'Smart borders': enhancing mobility and security ... The EU is moving towards a more modern and efficient border management by using state-of-the-art technology. Today, the Commission proposed a 'smart border package' to speed-up, facilitate and reinforce border check procedures for foreigners travelling to the EU. The package consists of a Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) and an Entry/Exit System (EES) that will simplify life for frequent third country travellers at the Schengen external borders and enhance EU border security. – European Commission Press Release

Dominant Social Theme: "I'm from the EU and I'm here to help."

Free-Market Analysis: As we have mentioned numerous times, the ultimate goal of the current security regime seems to be to create a two-tier travel system in which some people – with government approved credentials – will be able to travel with relative ease while others will not.

We have in various articles catalogued US programs that allow one to be "pre-approved" and thus avoid the long lines of those who are yet, apparently, to be considered potential terrorists. Eventually, such system will turn into something more difficult, of course – as the emphasis shifts from the approved to the non-approved.

In other words, eventually those who are not approved to travel may have trouble taking advantage of modern travel conveniences such as planes, trains, buses and eventually automobiles.

This is the logical outcome of the kind of regulatory state that is now being constructed using the war on terror as a pretext. It is apparently a prelude to global (centralized) governance and must be instituted since most people don't want to live in a single world construct and therefore need to be herded – forcefully – in that direction. Travel restrictions are a useful tool.

If such a scenario is to be realized, it must be effective not just in the US but throughout the West and perhaps worldwide. Now in a press released, we are informed the EU is taking steps to harmonize its travel program with the US's and other powers.

For now, of course, it's pitched as a convenience. Here's a further excerpt from the press release:

"The use of new technologies will enable smoother and speedier border crossing for third country citizens who want to come to the EU. Our aim is to facilitate the access of foreign travellers to the EU. This will not only be in the interest of the travellers but also the European economy. It has been estimated that in 2011 alone foreign travellers made a €271 billion contribution to our economy. Modernising our systems will also lead to a higher level of security by preventing irregular border crossings and detecting those who overstay', said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.

Regulation on an EU Registered Traveller Programme (RTP)

1. A Registered Traveller Programme (RTP) will allow frequent travellers from third countries to enter the EU using simplified border checks, subject to pre-screening and vetting. It is estimated that 5 million legitimate non EU-travellers per year will make use of this new program. The RTP will make use of automated border control systems (i.e. automated gates) at major border crossing points such as airports that make use of this modern technology. As a result, border checks of Registered Travellers would be much faster than nowadays.

2. Business travellers, workers on short term contracts, researchers and students, third country nationals with close family ties to EU citizens or living in regions bordering the EU are all likely to cross the borders several times a year. Making it as easy as possible for them to come to the EU would ensure that Europe remains an attractive destination and help boosting economic activity and job creation.

Regulation on an EU Entry/Exit system

1. An Entry/Exit System (EES) will record the time and place of entry and exit of third country nationals travelling to the EU. The system will calculate the length of the authorised short stay in an electronic way, replacing the current manual system, and issue an alert to national authorities when there is no exit record by the expiry time. In this way, the system will also be of assistance in addressing the issue of people overstaying their short term visa.

2. The current practice used by Member States when checking a third country national wanting to cross the EU's external borders is based mainly on the stamps in the travel document. This practice is time consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings does not allow detecting overstaying in a workable way and cannot efficiently cope with cases of loss or destruction of the travelling documents. Moreover, today's systems will not allow the EU Member States to deal with the ever increasing pressure of travellers accessing and exiting the EU whose number, at the air borders alone, is expected to increase by 80%, from 400 million in 2009 to 720 million in 2030.

If there is anything encouraging in this release it is the timeline. We are informed that implementation of this program is years away and may only be viable in 2017 or 2018. First there must be "Negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council" and adoptions of the legal texts.

Conclusion: Is a kind of cage being constructed? It might seem so ...

Mind Mangement: Researchers Explore New Ways to Influence Minds

Positive Futurist
by Dick Pelletier

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants to understand the science behind what makes people violent, and then find ways to hijack their minds by implanting false, but believable stories in their brains, with hopes of evoking peaceful thoughts: We’re friends, not enemies.

Critics say this raises ethical issues such as those addressed in the 1971 sci-fi movie, A Clockwork Orange, which attempted to change people’s minds so that they didn’t want to kill anymore.

Advocates, however, believe that placing new plausible narratives directly into the minds of radicals, insurgents, and terrorists, could transform enemies into kinder, gentler citizens, craving friendship.

Scientists have known for some time that narratives; an account of a sequence of events that are usually in chronological order; hold powerful sway over the human mind, shaping a person’s notion of groups and identities; even inspiring them to commit violence. See DARPA proposal request HERE.

In another area of mind management, some believe we should focus on genetic components. Scientists at the University of Buffalo recently surveyed DNA from 711 subjects and discovered what they refer to as the ‘niceness gene’, a gene that dictates whether people will be nice or are prone to antisocial behavior.

Contrary to popular knowledge, being kind to others may not be something that we can only learn about from those who raised us. It seems some people are simply born ‘nice’, and others, nasty.

Researchers found that people who see the world as a ‘threatening’ place were less likely to help others – unless they had versions of the receptor genes that are generally associated with niceness.

Today, scientists have yet to master the ability to change this genetic programming, but by the 2030s, many predict that modifying these genes (with patient approval, of course) will become routine.

Others say mind management with drugs offers the best solutions. This science could reform criminals more efficiently than a jail sentence. However, many ask how ethical is it to interfere with people’s minds?

In their recent ground-breaking book, Enhancing Human Capacities, co-authors Julian Savulescu, Ruud ter Meulen, and Guy Kahane explore how society will benefit when we use technology to alter moods, boost memory, and increase intelligence levels; along with the ethical concerns these technologies raise.

Kahane says scientists are discovering new behavior-altering procedures that make us more likeable, sociable; open to other people’s views; and will curb many of our desires for vengeance and violence.

Drugs that affect our moral thinking and behavior already exist, but we tend not to think of them in that way. Prozac lowers aggression and bitterness, making people more agreeable. Oxytocin increases feelings of social bonding and empathy while reducing anxiety.

Some question, though, whether society will want a pill that would make them morally better. Being more trusting, nicer, and less aggressive could make people more vulnerable to exploitation.

However, proponents believe the benefits are too important to ignore. Pursuing all of the technologies mentioned in this article holds great promise to curb crime and violence worldwide, improve personal and career relationships, and raise happiness levels everywhere.

In another area of the behavior-altering arena, memory-management drugs are about to take center stage. Data experts at Memory Pharmaceuticals, a leading New Jersey drug information firm, believe researchers will soon develop drugs that will dim, or permanently erase traumatic memories.

An even more radical technology, downloading knowledge directly into our brains will be possible in the 2030s, says Georgia Tech graduate student Peter Passaro. Mind-machine interfaces will allow us to receive data in our brain, immediately convert it to memory; bypassing the need to learn the information.

Clearly, the road to mind management science winds around unknown turns, but this forward-thinker believes the overwhelming benefits of reducing violence and criminal acts will push this bold idea forward as we move further into what promises to become an incredible 21st century future.

NDAA Nullification Passes Virginia Senate by a Veto-Proof 39-1 Vote

Tenth Amendment Center
by Michael Boldin


Today, the Virginia Senate took a firm stand in support of liberty, the Constitution for the United States, and the Constitution of Virginia by voting in favor of House Bill 1160 (HB1160), the “NDAA Nullification Act.”

The final vote was 39-1.

After a motion to recommit (delay until next year) went down to the wire before being rejected yesterday (report here), groups across the political spectrum activated in support of the legislation, which codifies in law that no agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia – including defense forces and national guard troops, will comply with or assist the federal government in any way under it’s newly claimed powers to arrest and detain without due process.

INTERNMENT: NEVER AGAIN

The bill’s primary sponsor, Delegate Bob Marshall, had this to say in support:

“During World War II, the federal government incarcerated tens of thousands of loyal Japanese Americans in the name of national security. By this bill, Virginia declares that it will not participate in similar modern-day efforts.


Even President Obama had questions about the bill, when he promised the American people that he would not use the unrestrained powers it granted him — but why should we trust any President with such powers?


There are moments in our history when our liberties hang in the balance. This is one of those moments. I urge the Senate…to lead the way in the nation to ensure that Virginia will not cooperate when the Federal Government strays off the reservation with laws that take away the civil liberties of our citizens.”

BRIDGING THE POLITICAL DIVIDE

Last Thursday, the Tenth Amendment Center, in partnership with the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and Demand Progress held a media conference with experts and legislators from across the political spectrum. On hand were a former Al Gore advisor and a former Reagan administration member. (full report here)

The message was resounding, and echoed by the Jr. Senator from Loudoun Virginia on the floor today, “Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, any law that passes congress that has those provisions should be a deep concern, and I hope that we can all agree on this one issue.”

While the bill doesn’t directly block federal agents from carrying out their new NDAA powers, this is part and parcel of a larger NDAA nullification campaign around the country. Currently 7 local governments have passed resolutions ranging from a denouncement of the federal act in three Colorado counties to requiring noncompliance with it in places like Fairfax, CA and Northampton, MA. And, 7 states are currently considering legislation like Virginia’s – all based off the model legislation provided by the Tenth Amendment Center, the Liberty Preservation Act.

THREE STEPS, MAYBE JUST TWO?

Here at the Tenth Amendment Center, we define nullification as “any act or set of acts which has as its end result a particular law being rendered null, void, or unenforceable in a specific area.” With that definition in mind, we see nullification of the new “kidnapping powers” of the NDAA as a multi-step process.

1. Education - awareness. This is where local and state resolutions come into play. When something is passed, even non-binding, it gets press coverage about the idea that the local and state people have a role to play in this.

2. Non-compliance – as just passed by the Virginia House and Senate, and being considered in various other states and local communities. The message? Your unconstitutional federal act is not welcome here!

Gandhi, Rosa Parks and others didn’t take it beyond there. We recognize that in almost every situation, the federal government relies on states being silent or even fully complicit. Information sharing, logistics, and even national guard troops carrying out orders are activities that could be asked of state and local governments. Could the feds still kidnap at that point if the state refuses compliance? Sure, “legally” nothing has changed. But if 10-15 states and a hundred or so counties and cities are making clear they will not comply and that they consider the act unconstitutional, it’s going to be much tougher for them, if not politically impossible, than if everybody just complied and waited for the courts or another election to “save” them.

3. Resistance and physical interposition – Some, of course, believe that the feds can never be stopped without a physical resistance. But this may not be required if enough states and localities take noncompliance seriously in #2 above. But, we also see the value in running the full spectrum of options from the simplest to the strongest in various parts of the country. In Washington State, the bill there is full non-compliance. Matt Shea and Jason Overstreet, the primary sponsors, feel they can get that moving forward, and hope to follow up with criminal penalties in a future bill. Then, potentially another to require arrest of fed agents for kidnapping could be considered. In Missouri, they’re tracking along the same lines.

In Tennessee, though, the bill being considered right now refers to indefinite detention as a “kidnapping” charge and requires the local sheriffs to stop them. (info here)

MORE STEPS IN VIRGINIA

HB1160 received a minor amendment in the Senate before passage and now goes back to the House for Concurrence. The bill previously passed the house by a vote of 96-4 so it’s expected that the amended version will sail through as well. The Amendment reads as follows:

§ 1. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, no agency or political subdivision of the Commonwealth, or employee of same acting in his official capacity, shall aid an agency of the United States in the unlawful detention of any United States citizen pursuant to 50 U.S.C. § 1541 as provided by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (P.L. 112-81, § 1021).

Delegate Marshall previously reported that Governor Bob McDonnell is opposing this legislation. And, even with such large veto-proof votes in both the House and Senate, Virginia residents are encouraged to take action today. Those living in Virginia are encouraged to contact their Senators with words of thanks for passing HB1160 (at this link) AND the Governor’s office (at this link) in support of this legislation now.

Straight From Oz: Real Reason Elites Intend to Legalize Some Drugs?

Daily Bell

Australia foreign minister calls for decriminalisation of low-level drug use ... Bob Carr, Australia's foreign minister, whose brother died after a heroin overdose, has urged the decriminalisation of low-level drug use, after a report concluded the war on the scourge was lost ... "A bit of modest decriminalisation, de facto decriminalisation at the edges, simply freeing up police to be doing the things they ought to be doing, would be a sensible way of going about it," Mr Carr told the Seven Network. He added to fellow broadcaster ABC that by doing so "we wouldn't have armies of police patrolling outside nightclubs and pubs hoping to snatch someone who's got an ecstasy tablet in his or her pocket or purse". – UK Telegraph

Dominant Social Theme: This drug war hasn't worked. Time to be more reasonable about it.

Free-Market Analysis: Last week we thought we detected a trend: The top elites via politicians and the mainstream media in the US were embarked on creating some sort of dominant social theme aimed at legalizing some drugs.At the time we didn't understand why this promotion would be launched, given that the elites have shown no compunction about putting people in jail for years for doing something as innocent as smoking a marijuana cigarette.

We received interesting and insightful feedbacks to our questions about this seeming emergent elite meme, but as is so often the case, a little more time seems to be revealing what may be the truth of the matter. You can see the initial article here: Have Elites Decided to Legalize Some US Drugs? The US has jailed tens of millions in the past decade over drug infractions. But now we seem to be seeing some re-thinking ... First Pat Robertson writes about legalizing marijuana and then CNN's Fareed Zakaria writes about it as well. And that's not all.

A random search of Google shows that a bill to legalize medical marijuana is moving forward in the Tennessee House and that the Rhode Island Senate is discussing legalization as well. In Yakima, Washington, a former Seattle police chief and a former state senator will hold a public forum on the legalization of marijuana.

Now, in this article excerpted above, we think that the purpose of this theme, if that's what it is, is beginning to emerge. Australian foreign minister Bob Carr may have given the game away by referring to, "A bit of modest decriminalisation, de facto decriminalisation at the edges, simply freeing up police to be doing the things they ought to be doing... "

What Carr is saying is that the "authorities" are stretched. The system, he is indicating, has other priorities that are not being addressed because of the "war on drugs."

What might those priorities be? We can only speculate, but as the Western world tends to move in lockstep when it comes to such things (given that nation-states are pretty much an illusion at this point), we would tend to think that a decision has been made to point the resources of Leviathan at the emergent freedom movement that is roiling the Western world.

We've long predicted this moment, of course, writing over and over that the Internet is a kind of Gutenberg Press and that the same sort of society-transforming trends are taking place now as did back then. Then, from what we can tell, the elites started a number of wars, including a so-called Peasant War that lasted about 30 years. War is a great way to control the masses because all the rules of civil society can be thrown out based on "security considerations." That's what is happening today, as then.

There are many other parallels between the circumstances surrounding the Gutenberg Press and today's Internet. We've often mentioned them in these pages. Copyright was invented in Britain after the advent of the press in order to slow the transmission of information – and now today, again, copyright is being used, this time as a weapon against the Internet.

The elites are neither imaginative nor facile. They tend to select repetitious stratagems from a sparse and brutal tool kit. They are not disappointing now. Brutality is increasingly the order of the day. Wars, depression, torture and general intimidation via Draconian laws and regulation are the order of the day.

People are perpetually and increasingly astonished at what's going on. Just the other day, CNN leftist Rachel Maddow appeared on-air with a rant against the Supreme Court for determining one could be strip-searched at the discretion of US law enforcement no matter the reason. Maddow laid the blame on a "conservative" Supreme Court but, in fact, the stale right-left paradigm has no relevance to what's going on. The emergent fascist state throughout the West has all the hallmarks of a deliberate policy.
Of course, Maddow would have to admit that there are dynastic families based out of the City of London that want to run the world and are willing to create a kind of generalized Western Third Reich to do so.

The power elite that wants to rule the world has been destabilizing the US for several centuries – really ever since it came together as a libertarian republic. It took the Civil War to really set in motion the trends that have blossomed today, including a massive military-industrial complex, an intel-industrial complex and a penal-industrial complex.

Australia has all the signal hallmarks of an emergent fascist state including a feverish green lobby, incandescently dishonest politics, an emergent carbon tax, etc. But we have to think that the "stick" of this decriminalization is aimed at the US.

The emergent authoritarian TSA has just ordered 400 million hollow-point bullets and the US is building a trans-national spy facility out in Utah at a cost of billions. The elites have always hated and feared US exceptionalism and its general republican orientation.

Under former President George W. Bush, the US also built numerous detention facilities across the US, giving the contract to Dick Cheney's Halliburton. While there is a large intimidation/propaganda factor to all of this, the elites are probably dead serious about a transfer of resources away from petty drug matters in order to focus on social unrest, "domestic security" and "the war on terror."

Does the real reason for the War on Drugs stand revealed? Was it really intended simply to build a kind of trans-national gulag that can now be employed for the security purposes of the elite? Did people really waste away their lives in prison simply to provide a pretext for the construction of a blossoming Security State?

Conclusion: Having created and staffed this monstrosity, are the top elites now prepared to put it to "better" use. Think about the "great debates" of prohibition that have raged for the past century, the billions of words and books and white papers that have been written. Was it really nothing but an excuse? And if so, how they must have laughed ...

Death By A Thousand Cuts

by Jurriaan Maessen
Infowars.com, Mar. 24, 2012
As yet another voice within the scientific community joins the choir
the tremors of tyranny are being felt all over the surface of freedom - which sadly is already extremely thin. This is by no means the first call for world government. It’s routinely being called for by all creatures that rock to the rhythm of globalism. And it is this particular species of the human race we should turn our attention towards.

There was a time when we were enveloped in the everyday bustle of our lives, pursuing simple pleasures- now we find ourselves, almost without knowing it, armed and ready for battle.

Whether we know it or not, we as freedom-loving people are slowly but surely amassing on a huge field of battle. The entire transition runs along the strangest lines- with sudden changes and lapses, with cinematic cross-references and dream-like winks, allowing no time for analysis on the spot but all the more for wonder and awe, leaving us wondering how on earth did we end up fighting a battle we never sought. It seems we were summoned to secure the interests of life, and by securing them we throw our weights onto the enemy that’s in front of us. Like the warrior, we do not have the luxury of moving around the pieces on the chessboard, or change our minds at pleasure. Nothing is easy. Every strike counts.

Every call for world government, every disclosed diary, every bold statement on reducing human population (and every subsequent global policy directive) is indicative of certain subsurface activities - of broader stirrings which are so all-engulfing in nature, that the only way not to be overwhelmed by them is to concentrate on the symptoms through which the disease reveals itself. Although all news is symptomatic in the end - all “current events” mere shadows dancing on a screen - the way to engage the enemy is to snatch these shadows from the screen, pull them by the tail and expose them for what they really are: phantoms created by the elite. As soon as these phantoms are exposed to clear skies, the shadows will cease to be shadows and disappear. An effective way of countering the road to disaster mapped out by the elite is to catch the criminals at every turn, and do it every time- that’s the trick. And this will ensure the structure these people have constructed around the planet will fall. Because the devil’s in the details, as the saying goes, it is the details we must now target.

Acting along the principle of “death by a thousand cuts” will eventually bring the puppet masters to their knees. Anything too great in the onset will quickly collapse under its own weight.
