America: The Greatest Force for Good?

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 29, 2015

us-flag-301171_640I use to believe that despite America’s many mistakes, that fundamentally she was a good country.  I use to believe the history I learned in America’s state controlled class rooms.  I use to believe that our armed forces were fighting to protect us and to spread democracy.  But then 9/11 happened and the war on terror was launched to protect Americans from these very evil and bad people…  so I started paying attention.  I noticed that despite our war on terror, the US Federal government encouraged open borders and didn’t seem to care to discover who came or who left the country.  Could another terrorist get in?  I then discovered that 15 of the 19 so called hijackers were from America’s ally Saudi Arabia, yet we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan neither of whom attacked us.   I was told that an evil group called Al-Qaeda were behind the attack on 9/11, but then I discovered that Al-Qaeda was created by our own CIA and that we gave $3 billion to its leader Osama bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.  The more I read, the more I double and triple-checked my fact-checking of the information of the official 9/11 story.  The more I fact-checked and read, the more I realized that the official story was not even physically possible; yet the official story was told over and over again in our media.  So I continued to read and I discovered that the 9/11 story wasn’t the first time our government and media lied to us.  They lied to get us into the Vietnam War which cost the lives of over 58,000 of my fellow Americans and over 3 million innocent men, woman and children in the countries we bombed and sprayed with Agent Orange.  All of this was based on lies by the US Government and supported by the establishment media which owned the TV content I dutifully watched every day to stay informed.

Since these more innocent times, I have discovered an even bigger story.  That not only does the government and the media routinely lie to the American people, they are controlled and managed by a handful of corporations who have interlocking board of directors who also benefit financially from the many wars and resultant human tragedies this institutionalized murder and mayhem produce.   I discovered that America and the grand ideals America represented in my mind has been captured by a small group of individuals and is used not to spread goodness and democracy but rather the opposite.  This is not an opinion, but a demonstrable fact.

So here I sit today, realizing the sad truth that America is not the greatest force for good in the world but rather the greatest force for evil.

“The September 11 attack on America was planned, coordinated, and carried out under the watchful eyes and with the helpful assistance of top officials in the FBI, CIA, and Bush Administration–officials who did everything in their power to insure that the operation would be a spectacular triumph unequaled in the world of terrorism and political opportunism.”  — R. Joseph, PhD

Mr. Global

Empirical evidence that Mr. Global is really in charge: Mr. Global’s selection for the next president will certainly agree on the following issues: NDAA, The Patriot Act, The Federal Reserve, DHS, Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP), using the CIA and NATO to overthrow sovereign countries across the globe, open borders, NSA illegal spying on the America public. They will never investigate the Fed, the CIA or the NSA. So you may vote Democrat or you may vote Republican and there may be some marginal debates around these issues but all of the above promote Mr. Global’s agenda and is destructive of this nation’s sovereignty, the US Constitution and your individual rights guaranteed therein.

So, if you don’t agree to promote and/or sustain these individual-rights-and-prosperity-killing issues, you will never, EVER get the RNC or the DNC nomination. It’s really that simple. You may disagree on divisive issues (by design) like gay rights, race issues or how much to spend on this or that, on government waste, etc… but you will never, EVER be allowed to change the fundamental trajectory of this tyranny which has been planned and implemented behind closed doors by your real masters. The issues Mr. Global allows debate on have one thing in common: They divide the public. This is a technique that Mr. Global calls Scientific Social Engineering.

Keep watching your sports, your sitcoms, your movies, your corporate news … there is nothing to see here. It’s all just a conspiracy theory made up by all those tin foil hat-wearing buffoons.

1) VIDEO: The Trilateral Commission and Technocracy

Published on Nov 5, 2013

Founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Trilateral Commission embarked on a New International Economic Order based on Technocracy. Brzezinski called this the “Technetronic Era” in his 1970 book, Between Two Ages. History now reveals the original Trilateral strategy and the means by which they have carried it out.

3) VIDEO: Google “Bill Clinton rape” by James Corbett
Bill Clinton, exactly like Bill Cosby, is a multiply-accused rapist with allegations stretching back decades. And exactly like Cosby, Clinton has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit out of court. But unlike Cosby, Clinton continues to enjoy the adoration of the public and the benefits of his personal fortune. Why? Because we haven’t made it an issue yet. Let’s start: Google “Bill Clinton rape.”

4) ARTICLE: A Family Business of Perpetual War
Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan have a great mom-and-pop business going. From the State Department, she generates wars and – from op-ed pages – he demands Congress buy more weapons. There’s a pay-off, too, as grateful military contractors kick in money to think tanks where other Kagans work, writes Robert Parry.

5) ARTICLE: The Rise of Russia and the ‘End of the World’
Great little history lesson. I’d like to see more Quigley in there but it is a good summary none the less and gives a peek into the history that is NOT taught in US Public Schools. For example: “As revealed by Antony Sutton, the extent of Western influence and control inside Soviet Russia is exemplified by the fact that, during the Vietnam war, the military vehicles being used by the North Vietnamese military to fight American soldiers were produced in a Soviet factory, the Kama River Truck Plant, owned by the US Ford corporation.”

6) VIDEO: America’s Surveillance State part 1 (The Surveillance Machine)

Published on Oct 22, 2014

We live in the United States of Surveillance–with cameras increasingly positioned on street corners and with much more invisible spying online and on the phone. Anyone who is paying attention knows that privacy could be out the window. All of this is not happening by accident -well funded powerful agencies and companies are engaged in the business of keeping tabs on what we do, what we say, and what we think.

To many in the world, today, the face of America also has A BIG NOSE for sniffing and sifting mountains of data—phone calls, emails and texts. And with many mouths silenced by paranoia to keep what they decide is secret, secret. America has become a Surveillance-Industrial State where everyone’s business has become its business, and where one huge US intelligence Agency has been given the sanction and unlimited amounts of money to spy on the whole world.

Mass Surveillance is the focus of this new 6 part investigative documentary series examining who is watching whom and why.

Global Warming 101

mountains-482689_640Why do so many believe in the Hoax of Global Warming? Because in our current education system, students are not taught or encouraged to develop critical thinking —that would be dangerous– but rather, taught to memorize by rote an agglomeration of disconnected data points purposefully deprived of context; whose validity rests on some predetermined authority; and whose ultimate goal is in only the getting of a check mark on the next test. Actual thinking requires effort, attention and focus; and so the mind becomes a lazy blob of mush easily directed and controlled by those whose job it is to control the masses. Thus, today’s truth is actually a collective mythos popularly termed ‘well-established’ fact or labeled ‘science’ but science by consensus is not science at all, but propaganda as anyone capable of critical thought would immediately recognize.

Top NASA Climate Modeler (April 26, 2017):
Top NASA Climate Modeler Admits Predictions Are ‘Mathematically Impossible’
Published on April 26, 2017
Written by Dr. Duane Thresher, Climatologist

“Top American Climatologist, an expert in climate modeling, exposes the fallacy that current climate models provide a realistic or reliable prediction of future climate change. In a 1-2-3 step guide to disposing of the global warming debate Dr. Duane Thresher says successful modeling with modern computers is “mathematically impossible.”

Dr Thresher is among the elite of computer climate modelers. He has performed extensive work in climate proxy modeling at the University of Alaska and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany. He earned his PhD in Earth & Environmental Sciences (climate modeling/proxies) from Columbia University and at NASA he worked for Dr. James Hansen, the father of global warming, and Dr. Gavin Schmidt.

Dr Thresher offers his step-by-step guide below:

  • 1. It is fundamentally mathematically impossible for climate models to predict climate.
  • 2. Climate proxies are far too inaccurate, unreliable, and sparse to prove anything about past global climate, e.g. that it was colder.
  • 3. Scientific consensus is not proof of global warming, just publication and funding bias.”

CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS: ECONOMIC CRASH-UP & BLACK BUDGET GOES GLOBAL
– DARK JOURNALIST
Published on Mar 13, 2015
#CRASHUP Visit: www.DarkJournalist.com

Join Dark Journalist and his special guest, Former Assistant Housing Secretary, Financial Expert and Coast to Coast AM contributor Catherine Austin Fitts, for an exhilarating overview of the hidden forces of the Black Budget at work in the 2015 economic landscape. Making her fifth appearance on the show, Catherine exposes an emerging economic trend she calls a “Crash-Up” that may be the next move of the financial cabal she refers to as “Mr Global.” After draining most of the money out of the economy with the disastrous housing bubble and the dire crash of 2008, the cabal is ready to make their next move by Crashing Up equity and relentlessly debasing currencies for even more profit!

Catherine, the publisher of The Solari Report, traces the history of worldwide financial manipulation and draws on her personal experience in high-ranking positions on Wall Street and in Government to expose the global game being played out by a tiny elite of people who dominate the committee to run the world.

She also gives out rare insight and wisdom for finding your economic security while battling the covert forces of mind control, entrainment technology, money harvesting, black budget operations and power centralization.

Spellbinding, informative, startling and provocative, this is the interview you’re going to need to navigate 2015!

TED Talks

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 16, 2015

TED Talks_400x400Like many people, I’ve watched and learned from the many TED Talks that have been produced over the years as published on YouTube and other places.  Lots of different, thoughtful topics have been covered, yet I have always been bothered a bit by how their audiences seem to accept the information contained within these talks as fact without question.  I have also wondered who the gatekeepers were and how the topics and speakers were filtered.  These talks use the tried and true TED format wherein someone gets up on stage and gives a personal testimony of some hidden truth or fact and the audience dutifully oohs and awes and claps in adoration.   Reminds me of my early church-going days where the requirement was to turn off all my critical thought processes and accept what the preacher was saying without question. You can find more on my religious proclivities here: On Religion.  In any event, I have wanted for some time to write an article on how TED Talks are like a religion but Megan Hustadmarch beat me to the punch with her excellent Opinion piece in the NYT linked below.  I would have taken a different approach:  Listing common features of Religion and mapping those to the TED Talks.  I applied this technique to my article entitled: Misc Musings on the surety of science or why I am skeptical of ‘Well-Established’ facts:

“Science…I believe in the empirical method. I also believe that many in our scientific community have let their emotions and political point of view turn their science into a religion. You either believe certain “well-established facts” or you do not get tenure or you are ridiculed or…. These “well-established facts” represent a dogma or a credo similar to any religion. The result is that many place their minds in a box and their ability to take in new information and process this information critically and honestly is therefore necessarily aberrated.”  – David Brown

In any event, TED Talks are part of the human condition and should therefore be part of the exhibits we proffer as we explore the world around us and what it means to be human; they are useful, but shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

Astroturf and Manipulation of Media Messages

Sharyl Attkisson Gives TED Talk on Astroturf and Manipulation of Media Messages
(Published on Feb 6, 2015)
Astroturf and manipulation of media messages | Sharyl Attkisson

In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.

Sharyl Attkisson is an investigative journalist based in Washington D.C. She is currently writing a book entitled Stonewalled (Harper Collins), which addresses the unseen influences of corporations and special interests on the information and images the public receives every day in the news and elsewhere. For twenty years (through March 2014), Attkisson was a correspondent for CBS News. In 2013, she received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism for her reporting on “The Business of Congress,” which included an undercover investigation into fundraising by Republican freshmen. She also received Emmy nominations in 2013 for Benghazi: Dying for Security and Green Energy Going Red. Additionally, Attkisson received a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award as part of the CBS Sunday Morning team’s entry for Outstanding Morning Program for her report: “Washington Lobbying: K-Street Behind Closed Doors.” In September 2012, Attkisson also received an Emmy for Oustanding Investigative Journalism for the “Gunwalker: Fast and Furious” story. She received the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Investigative Reporting for the same story. Attkisson received an Investigative Emmy Award in 2009 for her exclusive investigations into TARP and the bank bailout. She received an Investigative Emmy Award in 2002 for her series of exclusive reports about mismanagement at the Red Cross.

George Friedman, “Europe: Destined for Conflict?”

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 15, 2015

George FriedmanExcellent speech by George Friedman (below) given at the Chicago Council of Global Affairs.  Mr. Friedman reveals many overlooked dynamics which can provide the listener deeper insight into the EU’s chances of success or failure, the rise of nationalism and the key role Germany will play.  He underscores  a key US strategy to keep Russia and Germany separate and in conflict, fearing a combination of Germany’s financial and technical strength combined with Russia’s vast resources and workforce would threaten the existing US hegemony.

Since Greece cannot pay their bills, Mr. Friedman postulates that Greece will eventually offer to pay some portion perhaps 60% in Greek drachma telling Germany to take it or leave it.  They can have a partial payment or have zero and of course Germany will be forced to take this deal to get something and to keep the contagion from spreading to Portugal, Italy and Spain.  Owing a lot of money, Mr. Friedman explains actually puts Greece in a more powerful position than Germany since Germany needs the EU to sustain its massive export business which represents 50% of its GDP of which 25% goes to the EU; and Greece at this point cannot pay its debts. He speaks to the long held hatreds and rivalries amongst the member states, the rise of nationalism and Europe’s history of settling their differences with bullets.  Explaining the dynamics of Europe, the EU, Greece, Ukraine, Germany, the USA and Russia, he makes some interesting predictions based on his unique analysis.

Despite his apparent acceptance of US war propaganda, you can still benefit from his insightful and informative analysis. Of course you should know I can’t agree with some of the default positions of the sponsor (The Chicago Council on Global Affairs) regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine, and I would presume George Friedman shares this position with the Chicago Council though it was less clear from his speech.

As informed and thoughtful as Friedman is, he seems oblivious to the clandestine history and machinations of the CIA, USAID, Soros, etc. which is designed to destabilize targeted countries like Ukraine through so called ‘Color Revolutions’ using operation Gladio tactics informed by US Geopolitical Policies. He may be very aware that the US is the real culprit in the Ukraine conflict, but holding his cards close to the vest; otherwise, he wouldn’t be invited to speak at places like the Chicago Council.  After all, we must blame what the US is doing in Ukraine on Putin to be accepted by the establishment. He seems to agree with the US’s foreign policy overall, but does warn that the US should only occupy nations by force as a last resort and never get into nation-building as in Iraq.  Better that the US orchestrate fights and heighten divisions amongst power structures than get stuck in unwinnable, protracted conflicts.  Despite my criticisms, and his obvious poor grasp of economics, I found his speech enlightening, brilliant and well worth the view.

Important to note: There is a history to Mr. Friedman’s company, Stratfor, that deserves additional attention, so I have added a link to the Stratfor email leaks below which reveal a murky side to Mr. Friedman and his company; but for now, sit back and enjoy his excellent, though myopic speech.  Friedman’s company, Stratfor, had its emails leaked to the public by Jeremy Hammond via Wikileaks. Much condemning information was discovered as a result.  Here is just one example:

From Wikipedia: “Some emails reveal that Stratfor had been partnering with Shea Morenz, a former Goldman Sachs director, along with other informants, in order to profit from what could be considered insider trading. Stratfor planned to use the intelligence it gathered in order to profit from trading in several worldwide markets. They created an offshore “share structure” known as “StratCap” during 2011, in order to avoid insider trading allegations. The offshore entity, set to launch operations in 2012, is outwardly independent of Stratfor, but CEO George Friedman told his employees that StratCap is secretly integrated with Stratfor.”

Jeremy Hammond is a political activist and computer hacker from Chicago. He was convicted and sentenced in November 2013 to 10 years in US Federal Prison for hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor and releasing the leaks through the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

COMPLETE Event Summary by Richard C. Longworth

Small excerpt from Mr. Longworth’s summary linked above: “Friedman is concerned with Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s aggression and the American response to it. But most of his speech dealt with the crisis within the European Union. In this drama, the central player is not Russia but Germany.”

George Friedman Bio

George Friedman is the founder and chairman of the private intelligence and geopolitical forecasting corporation, Stratfor. Friedman is a regular contributor to discussions on international intelligence issues for major news and radio networks including CNN, Fox News, and NPR. He is the author of numerous books on warfare and intelligence, including The Next Decade, The Next 100 Years, America’s Secret War, and The Intelligence Edge. He received his bachelor’s degree from the City College of the City University of New York and his PhD from Cornell University. – See more at: http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/event/europe-destined-conflict#sthash.NNeJfWMu.dpuf

Regime Change: Georgia’s Rose Revolution Fades to Black

Russia’s Remarkable Renaissance (Engdahl)

EngdahlBrilliant analysis from F. William Engdahl author of ‘A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order‘….  F. William Engdahl hits the nail squarely on the head with this insightful article on the current mood in the former Soviet Union.  As America moves toward increased tyranny and corruption, Russia is experiencing a rebirth of truth and pride in the face of struggle, based on a clear recognition of the current threat from Washington and the reconciliation of their past mistakes.  After the US coup in Ukraine, the Russian people see clearly Washington’s and its vassal states’ present geopolitical game, and have smartly chosen not to play.  Washington may have grossly underestimated the strength, the understanding  and intelligence of the Russian people who have had two revolutions stolen from them by the powers in Washington, D.C. that shouldn’t be: Once in 1917 after the 8 months of the provisional government wherein the Russian people –tired of tyranny– wanted a more libertarian structure, only to have it stolen by the manipulators of the Anglo-American Establishment; and now in the current era –after the fall of the Soviet Union– these same psychopathic, lecherous and criminal anti-human globalists are seeking to destroy any hope of freedom or prosperity for the Russian people and the world at large.  I wish the Russian people well and hope that this time they can throw off the shackles of the Anglo-American Establishment and its corrupt, rigged money system.
