T
he rights and wrongs of the confron-
tation between George Zimmerman
and Trayvon Martin will continue to
be debated, but what has emerged
clearly from the relentless coverage
of the story is a contrived agenda by
the establishment to stir up racial
animosity in America in order to undermine everybodys
rights a form of social engineering that ultimately hurts
everybody, no matter what their color or creed.
One of the fundamental questions surrounding the Zim-
merman trial is how the whole country was whipped up
into a fervor of selective outrage over one black teenager
being killed by a hispanic man, falsely labeled white by
the media, when the problem of black-on-black violent
crime completely dwarfs any notion that black people are
being deliberately targeted by whites.
The likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, and
even Barack Obama himself all inserted themselves into
the Trayvon Martin controversy in order to hype the threat
posed by violent hate crimes against blacks, manufactur-
ing a kind of universal white guilt that demanded justice
for Trayvon not based on the facts of the case, but on
emotional manipulation focused around the erroneous
presumption that America has declared open season on
murdering young black men.
In reality, according to Justice Department gures, 94
percent of all blacks murdered in America every year are
murdered by other black people, despite the fact that black
Americans make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population.
Thats 7,000 blacks murdered every year by other black
people. This statistic alone completely demolishes the nar-
rative that the Zimmerman case represented a bellwether

Division: The Trayvon Martin
Tragedy
Contrived Selective Outrage Prevents Americans
from Unifying Against National Security State.
illustration of the threat posed to black people by racist
hate crimes. If people like Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, and
Obama really cared about black people being murdered,
there would be a national conversation about these statis-
tics. Instead, we have witnessed an 18 month obsession
with one isolated incident in Florida.
The primary threat to black people clearly stems from
violent gangs and other black people, but this has been
completely ignored by the media in favor of ginning up a
racial divide that is completely contrived. More blacks are
killed by other blacks in Chicago every weekend than the
Ku Klux Klan killed over a period of 50 years. The high
murder rate of young black men has virtually nothing to do
with the actions of white people, so why was the Zimmer-
man case hijacked by establishment black leaders and the
media in order to insinuate this myth?
If the media wanted to initiate a national conversation
about this issue, why did it fail to mention the 1,300
black babies who are killed every day in America through
abortion? The simple answer is that the establishment isnt
interested in focusing on anything that cannot be blamed
on white people because this doesnt further their agenda
of manufacturing racial division.
RACIAL DIVISION:
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
Just as the state has sought to play groups against each
other for their own benet as part of a divide-and-conquer
strategy throughout history, black people are also being
targeted with aggressive programs of social engineering
to keep them dependent on big government. Ever since
infamous social engineers Clarence Gamble and Margaret
Sanger wrote about the need to hire black leaders in order
to hoodwink blacks into voting for their own eventual
extermination, black Americans have been the unwitting
victims of a sustained program to keep them downtrod-
den and reliant on the system via government hand outs,
cultural cannibalism, and societal manipulation.
To achieve this con trick, the government found it nec-
essary to create a common enemy against which blacks
must appear to be defended by the state racist white
people. The Democrat Party, despite being responsible for
founding the KKK, set themselves up as the representa-
tives of black America while behind the scenes scheming
to cynically exploit and manipulate them as a voting block
through which to undermine constitutional rights, like the
Second Amendment.
The likes of Sharpton and Jackson perpetuate racial
division by promulgating the myth that racist white Amer-
ica continues to subjugate black people, when in reality
such subjugation comes directly from law enforcement,
the state, and an establishment pop-culture narrative that
encourages black people to act like thuggish hip-hop stars.
Meanwhile, true black leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr.,
who encourage racial harmony between blacks and whites,
are murdered by the state.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
It is very appropriate that Trayvon Martins family attor-
ney told Fox News that her rst role was to act as a social
engineer, given that social engineering lay at the core of
the entire George Zimmerman controversy. The Obama
administration seized control of the affair from the very
beginning with the Justice Department funding pro-Tray-

von protests last year in order to create public pressure that led to Zimmermans arrest after local police had
already concluded that Zimmerman had acted in self-defense and that no charges were necessary.
The ex-Sanford police chief Bill Lee also went public to reveal that the case had been hijacked in a num-
ber of ways by outside forces and that he felt pressure from city ofcials to arrest Zimmerman to placate
the public rather than as a matter of justice.
In one sense, the Zimmerman trial served as an extremely useful distraction from the myriad of
scandals that plagued the Obama administration in the weeks before the case came to dominate U.S.
television networks. The NSA PRISM controversy, the IRS targeting conservative groups, and the AP
hacking probe all virtually disappeared from the headlines as the nation obsessed over every develop-
ment in a Florida courtroom.
However, once the x was in, and the Obama administration secured its show trial, it didnt really matter
whether Zimmerman was found guilty or not. The political hijacking of the case was about contriving
selective outrage and then channeling that outrage into the demonization of the right to self-defense, the
right to own guns, and the sanctity of juries, while at the same time driving a further wedge between black
and white America.
Instead of unifying around the universal liberties enshrined in the constitution and coming together to
stand up to an out-of-control national security state that is spying on all Americans, stealing their nancial
future, and erecting a police state, the Trayvon Martin tragedy allowed Americans to be tricked into buying
into the politics of racial division, while ignoring their true common enemy.

THE CURRENT
SURVEILLANCE
STATE WAS NOT
BOR N OUT OF THE
POST-9/11 WORLD
BUT SIMPLY
THRIVED IN IT.
T
he domestic spy grid enslaving Amer-
icans personal data into perpetual,
digital archives was planned well before
9/11 in a manner much like the early
2001 planning for the invasion of Iraq,
as shown in declassied documents
published at the National Security Archive.
A 42-page, declassied memo called Transition 2001,
published in December 2000 to brief newly elected Presi-
dent Bush on the National Security Agency, declares that
the agencys mission demands a powerful, permanent
presence on a global telecommunications network that will
host protected communications of Americans as well as
the targeted communications of adversaries.
The word protected, surrounded by double quota-
tions in the memo, refers to all of the personal, private
data of Americans protected by the Fourth Amendment.
Simply put, prior to the post-9/11 War on Terror, the
NSA had every intention of ensnaring the phone con-
versations, e-mails, chat logs, Internet search history,
etc. of all Americans into their wide net of domestic
surveillance. Even the double quotations imply a veil of
contempt towards our rights.
Predating the Transition 2001 memo by three months,
and 9/11 by an entire year, a report entitled Rebuilding
Americas Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a
New Century calls for the U.S. Department of Defense to
aggressively embrace information technologies, but warns
of a slow implementation unless a new Pearl Harbor
ushers in an era of high-tech intelligence gathering.
The report is structured upon a demand for national
leadership that accepts the United States global responsi-
bilities. This report also calls on the U.S. armed forces to
control cyberspace, in the same vein as navies controlling
the high seas, in order to protect Americas global political
leadership in the infosphere.
Rebuilding Americas Defenses was published by the
now-extinct Project for the New American Century, a think
tank founded by former State Department staff member
Robert Kagan and neoconservative William Kristol, the
latter known for his statements suggesting the GOP would
be better off without Ron Paul.
Kristol is now spinning the NSAs end run around the
Fourth Amendment as targeting foreign terrorists with
proper oversight, while Ron Paul speaks out against the
dangers of an Orwellian surveillance state, ironically pre-
dicting this over a quarter-century ago in the year 1984.
Unfortunately Ron Pauls warning was completely
ignored by our government. Not too long after the Transi-
tion 2001 memo and the Rebuilding Americas Defenses
report, the U.S. Department of Defense moved towards
integrating existing information on American citizens and
aliens into a centralized, virtual database, as reported in
a December 15, 2002 article in The New York Times by
Jeffrey Rosen, entitled Total Information Awareness.
According to this article, the Total Information Awareness
program sought to analyze Americans criminal, nancial,
educational, medical, and travel records and could have
included the development of risk prole technologies to
determine suspicious patterns of behavior in individuals.
The current surveillance state was not born out of the
post-9/11 world but simply thrived in it.

FEMA signs deal with Russian
Emergency Situations Ministry to
exchange experts
17
A
s part of a deal signed late June
in Washington DC between the
Russian Emergency Situations
Ministry and the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency,
(FEMA), Russian ofcials will
provide security at mass events in the United States a
scenario that wont sit well with Americans wary of foreign
assets operating on U.S. soil. According to a press release
by the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense
and Emergencies, U.S. and Russian ofcials met on June
25 at the 17th Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on
Emergency Situations.
In addition to agreeing with FEMA to exchange experts
during joint rescue operations in major disasters, the Rus-
sian Emergency Situations Ministry will also be providing
security at mass events in the United States. This sug-
gests that events designated as National Special Security
Events by the Department of Homeland Security, which
include the Super Bowl, international summits such as G8,
and presidential inaugurations, could now rely partly on
Russian authorities to provide security. The meeting last
week also agreed on the conclusion that U.S. and Russian
emergency authorities will increase their co-operation, in
order to respond efciently to all kinds of disasters.
The use of foreign troops or other ofcials in a law
enforcement capacity providing security inside the
United States is illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act,
the federal law passed in 1878 prohibiting military
troops from enforcing local laws, the duty of a civilian
police force. Capt. William Geddes of the U.S. Army
Reserve acknowledged last year that it is against federal
law to use U.S. troops to conduct police patrols, despite
the fact that such occurrences are becoming increasingly
common. The use of foreign troops is an even more clear
cut violation of Posse Comitatus.
FEMA was forced to deny the report published by
Infowars.com that cited the ofcial Russian government
press release, which can be found at the website for the
EMERCOM of Russia. The state-run Russian news wire RIA
Novosti claimed, There will be no exchange of security or
military personnel under a recently renewed partnership
between the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency
and Russias Emergency Situations Ministry, a FEMA
spokesman told RIA Novosti The agreement continues
information-sharing meetings and observation opportuni-
ties with rst responders and emergency managers. The
admission that FEMA and Russian authorities would ex-
change experts who would be active during joint rescue
operations in major disasters clearly contradicts the claim
that the deal was only about information sharing. Either
the press release was inaccurate or FEMA is lying.
The federal agencys denial of the report that suggested
Russian forces would be operating inside the United States
at mass events ignores the fact that Russian and other
foreign troops have been training for at least two decades
on American soil. Even if we accept FEMAs denial that
Russian forces will be in place at mass events in the U.S.,
the fact that Russian forces are already operating inside
America is proven.
Concerns about foreign troops being used on U.S. soil
have lingered ever since the 1961 publication of State
Defense Publication 7277, entitled Freedom from War:
the United States Program for General and Complete
Disarmament in a Peaceful World, which is a blueprint
for the harmonization of U.S. and Russian forces under a
framework of United Nations-led global government. There
are numerous documented occasions of both foreign troops
on American soil, as well as militaristic violations of the
Posse Comitatus Act, happening right in front of our faces,
yet blatantly ignored by the mainstream media.
Alex Jones has documented foreign troops being trained
on U.S. soil to deal with insurgents since the late 1990s
as part of urban warfare drills. In addition, as Frank
Drover details, Troops and personnel under the command

of the United Nations have been training all over
the United States in joint exercises that include po-
licing operations and terrorist suppression. Drover
cites a 1994 U.N. training mission named Agile
Provider, during which 44,000 blue helmeted
U.N. troops from nations such as France and the
Netherlands trained in Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
In 2008, it was also reported that U.S. and
Canadian authorities had signed an agreement that
would pave the way to using each others militaries
on both sides of the border during an emergency.
During FEMAs 2009 NLE exercise, foreign troops
from Mexico, Canada, Australia and the United
Kingdom were involved in a major exercise focused
on terrorism prevention and protection.
Back in July 2010, our reporters covered the
Operation Vigilant Guard exercises in Chicago,
which involved Polish troops training alongside
U.S. National Guard troops in drills focused
around raiding terrorists and drug dealers. Accord-
ing to SFC Mark Ballard of the Illinois National
Guard, the Polish forces were integrating into
some of the civil military units that are participat-
ing in this exercise as part of Illinois partnership
with the Republic of Poland, a relationship based
around integrative training and blending mili-
tary and civilian forces in the event of a national
emergency, as well as making this process of
integration with foreign troops more visible.
Only last month, foreign troops from Canada,
New Zealand, and Japan, as well as observers
from Australia, Chile, Colombia, Israel, Mexico,
Peru, and Singapore took part in multi-lateral
exercises with U.S. Marines under the banner of
Operation Dawn Blitz, during which foreign
soldiers staged a mock invasion of a beach in
Southern California and then moved inland for
additional training ashore.
Last year, we reported on how Russian troops
were invited to the U.S. as part of a Fort Carson,
Colorado, drill focused around anti-terror training.
Aside from learning how to target terrorists in
America, the Russian soldiers were also out in the
local community attending a baseball game in
Colorado Springs. The pictures printed are from
the Fort Carson drills.
Exercises involving foreign troops on U.S. soil
have become commonplace over the last 20 years
as Americans become increasing acclimatized to
seeing international forces prepared for involve-
ment in domestic security operations, largely
ignorant of the fact that this is a violation of the
Posse Comitatus Act.
As Mac Slavo writes, Rumors have circulated
for years about the possibility of foreign troops
being deployed on U.S. soil in the event of a
widespread declaration of a national emergency.
For quite some time, there have been anecdotal
reports to support the claim that the U.N., Russia
and other nations would be used in a policing
capacity should some critical event befall our
nation The fear should such a scenario take
place has been that these soldiers would act
under the banner of their own ags, ignoring the
fundamental protections afforded to our citizens,
leaving Americans under the jurisdiction of people
who dont speak our language or respect our
fundamental rights to self-defense, to be secure in
our homes, and to be presumed innocent in the
eyes of the law.

F
or nearly 70 years, national controver-
sy has surrounded the debate of water
uoridation. In 1945, Grand Rapids
became the rst American city to add
uoride to the publics drinking water
in a supposed attempt to curb tooth
decay in children. Before implementing the uoridation,
the city conducted a loose study testing whether uoride
exposure was safe and concluded that the benets out-
weighed the risks.
A quick Google search will probably lead you to mis-
information claiming that uoride isnt just healthy, but
necessary. Although, if you begin to dig a little deeper,
youll nd plenty of information explaining how and why
uoride is not just unhealthy, but deadly.
In 1992, a former Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) scientist named Dr. Robert J. Carton said Fluorida-
tion is the greatest case of scientic fraud of this century.
Fluoridation presents unacceptable risks to public health,
and the government cannot prove its claims of safety. It
is clear that uoride is mutagenic, and that it may well
cause cancer. The EPA has attempted to silence scientists
who do not follow the party line.
HISTORY
Ian E. Stephen , author of The Dickinson Statement: A
Mind-Boggling Thesis, published by NEXUS Magazine in
the AugustSeptember 1995 issue, discovered signicant
American bankers, including executives from Standard
Oil, Ford Motor Company, the National City Bank of
New York, and the chairman of the federal reserve were
funding a German chemical company, which became I.G.
Farben in 1925. I.G. Farben and multiple members were
responsible for numerous war crimes in World War II.
A few years later the worlds largest sodium uoride
producer, the American Aluminum Co. (ALCOA), and the
Dow Chemical Co. transferred the technology to Germany.
Numerous companies including Colgate, Kellogg, and
Dupont signed cartel agreements with I.G. Farben, creating
a powerful group designated the uoride maa.
According to Stevens article, the U.S. government sent
Charles E. Perkins, an expert scientist in chemistry, physiol-
ogy, and pathology, to manage the Farben chemical plants
in Germany. It was during this time, that Perkins learned of
a plan to use water uoridation to make people stupid and
docile. This plan was intended to be used as a weapon on
captives held in war camps. Authoritarians believed the u-
oridation caused slight damage to a particular part of the
brain, causing people to become submissive and surrender
themselves more easily.
The U.S. military continued the Nazis research, at-
tempting to build on it, and even admitted in a Rockefeller
report at a CIA brieng that the drug program was part
of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of
controlling human behavior.
PROPAGANDA
The myth that uoride helps prevent tooth decay
originated from a 1939 study by a scientist employed by
ALCOA, the largest producer of sodium uoride. During
the time of the study, claims were on the rise that uoride
was damaging to the human brain, hence the need for a
substantiated study to prove that uoride wasnt just safe,
but benecial. To support this claim, ALCOA employee
Gerald J. Cox uoridated some lab rats and concluded that
uoride reduced cavities. Following the publication of his
conclusion, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the rst city
to uoridate the water. 87 more cities would later follow.
These types of widely distributed studies passed off as
fact are conducted by scientists working for the same en-
tities attempting to prove their products safe. This type
of biased, junk science continues today Monsanto is
a perfect example. Monsanto currently holds patents on
genetically engineered (GE) crops prohibiting inde-
pendent studies on their products. Currently, the only
studies conducted on GE crops in the United States are
studies performed by scientists who are direct employees
of Monsanto.
In 1947, a veteran lawyer for ALCOA was appointed
head of the Federal Security Agency, a position that put
him in charge of the Public Health Service, which then
approved uoridation. This sounds eerily similar to
President Obama appointing Michael Taylor, former Vice
President of Monsanto, to Senior Advisor of the Food
and Drug Administration in 2009.
Through clever re-education methods orchestrated by big
chemical companies, uoride, once a toxic, industrial waste
by-product, became viewed as a benecial necessity in the
publics water supply. The same chemical is also used in
fungicides, pesticides, rodenticides, tranquilizers, and in a
number of domestic products like toothpaste. Even declas-
sied military documents prove that uoride was used in
the making of the atomic bomb. During the production of
the A-bomb, uoride poisoning became the leading health
hazard, not radiation poisoning.
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
A Harvard University study published in the July 2012
issue of Environmental Health Perspectives, a U.S. National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences journal, claims,
children in high uoride areas had signicantly lower IQs
than those who lived in low uoride areas. The EPA says
Fluoride in the Water is a
Chemical Weapon Attack

Julie Wilson
THE EPA HAS REVISED THEIR RECOMMENDED FLUORIDE LEVELS FROM 0.7
TO 1.2 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER TO 0.7 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER.

uoride is a chemical with substantial evidence of devel-
opment neurotoxicity. The chemical isnt just dangerous
to adults, but severely affects memory and cognitive devel-
opment in children. The study also revealed that uoride
readily crosses the placenta, exposing the susceptible,
developing brain of fetuses to toxicants, which can cause
irreversible damage.
In 2005, The Guardian, a British news agency, released
an article outlining American research that proved boys
exposed to any amounts of uoride between the ages of
5 to 10 suffer increased rates of osteosarcoma, a form
of bone cancer. According to the research, half of all
uoride ingested is stored in the body, accumulating in
calcifying tissue such as in teeth, bones, and the pineal
gland inside the brain.
Despite the massive amounts of information regarding
uoride as dangerous to humans, the U.S. Center
for Disease Control and Prevention recognized water
uoridation as one of the ten greatest public health
achievements of the 20th century.
Paul Beeber from the New York State Coalition Opposed
to Fluoridation, Inc. says Its senseless to keep subject-
ing our children to this ongoing uoridation experiment
to satisfy the political agenda of special interest groups.
Even if uoridation reduced cavities, is tooth health more
important than brain health? Its time to put politics aside
and stop articial uoridation everywhere.
If youre still not convinced, then maybe the EPAs own
revisions to their policy on uoridation will sway you.
Following the release of the highly respected Harvard study
and according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine,
the Health and Human Services Department together with
the EPA announced last year a downwards revision in the
recommended ratio of uoride to water in uoridated
communities. The new recommendation is 0.7 milligrams
of uoride per liter of water, which replaces the previous
recommended range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter.
Even a group of scientists working for the EPA head-
quarters strongly oppose using uoride in the water. A re-
port from the National Treasury Employees Union Chapter
280 says, as the EPA was engaged in revising its drinking
water standard for uoride in 1985, an employee came to
the union with a complaint: he said he was being forced
to write into the regulation a statement to the effect that
EPA thought it was alright for children to have funky
teeth. It was OK, the EPA said, because it considered that
condition to be only a cosmetic effect, not an adverse
health effect. The reason for this EPA position was that it
was under political pressure to set its health-based stan-
dard for uoride at 4 mg/liter. At that level, the EPA knew
that a signicant number of children develop moderate to
severe dental uorosis, but since it had deemed the effect
as only cosmetic, the EPA didnt have to set its health-
based standard at a lower level to prevent it.
According to WebMD.com, uorosis is a condition
caused by overexposure to uoride during the rst eight
years of a childs life, when their permanent teeth are
forming. This condition causes highly noticeable pits, yel-
low to dark brown stains, and surface irregularities in the
teeth. Today, uorosis affects one in every four Americans
ages 6 to 49. The condition was rst detected in the early
20th century in Colorado Springs, Colorado Researchers
discovered that numerous native-born residents displayed
signicant brown staining on their teeth and called it the
Colorado Brown Stain.
There is a substantial amount of evidence illustrating
the dangers of uoride. Even the regulatory agency itself
admits that its harmful to humans children in particular.
The most disconcerting fact is that this evidence isnt new.
The claims against uoride have been around since its use
began almost a century ago.
FLUORIDE BANS
The good news is that many cities around the nation
are waking up to the dangers of uoride. In some cities,
relentless advocates for anti-uoridation have proven
enough to sway public ofcials into ridding their water
of the toxic chemical. Portland, Oregon; Wichita, Kansas;
Santa Fe, New Mexico; College Station, Texas; and Fair-
banks, Alaska, have all banned uoridation in their cities,
just to name a few.
Portland gathered over 400,000 signatures to bring the
decision to a public vote and won, despite the city council
members meeting behind closed doors in an attempt to
pass water uoridation. The victory protects over half a
million people from the toxic chemical.
Luckily with the invaluable tool of the world wide web,
uoride-free campaigns popping up across the nation, and
people are able to educate themselves on the true dangers
of uoride. Groups like uoridealert.org, Fluoride Free
Austin, and Clean Water Portland are breeding grounds for
anti-uoride supporters that work to provide the public
with education for ghting water uoridation. Groups like
these orchestrate campaigns against water uoridation and
lead the ght in their cities.
Although, uoridation has been used for almost a
century. As long as corporate entities continue to ride on
their own interests and control government regulatory
agencies like the EPA, it doesnt appear to be a ght
thats ending anytime soon.
A Harvard study, funded by the National Institute
of Health (NIH) found that, ...rats exposed to 1
ppm (50 Smol/L) of water-fluoride for one year
showed morphological alterations in the brain
and increased levels of aluminum in brain tissue
compared with controls...
DESPITE THE PROVEN DANGERS,
FLUORIDE IS STILL ADDED TO 70% OF
THE NATIONS DRINKING WATER.

O
peration Mockingbird, the CIAs
long term effort to control
the news, has shifted into
overdrive.
On July 2, a little noticed
reform passed in January
went into effect. The Smith-
Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, passed as part of the
2013 National Defense Authorization Act, will allow the
CIA to ood America with more government propaganda.
The Smith-Mundt Act, passed as the national security
state was taking shape in 1948, authorized the State
Department to unleash a tidal wave of propaganda outside
the United States while supposedly forbidding its dissem-
ination inside the country. The law set the stage for Frank
Wisner, who headed up he CIAs covert action division in
the early 1950s, to build his mighty Wurlitzer, described
by none other than The New York Times as the means for
orchestrating, in almost any language anywhere in the
world whatever tune the CIA was in the mood to hear.
In the years since, the establishment media has
worked hand-in-glove with the CIA. This cozy relation-
ship was revealed by Frank Church, the Select Commit-
tee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to
Intelligence Activities in 1975, and (a few years later) by
reporter Carl Bernstein.
Among the chief executives who helped the CIA were
William Paley of CBS, Henry Luce of Time, Arthur Sulz-
berger of The New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, and James Copley of the Copley
News Service, write Amy Goodman and David Goodman
in Unreality TC, the Mighty Wurlitzer, Hijacking Public
Media, a chapter from the book Static: Government Liars,
Media Cheerleaders, and the People Who Fight Back. The
leading TV networks, including ABC and NBC; and the wire
services AP, UPI, Reuters; along with Hearst Newspapers,
Scripps Howard, Newsweek, the Miami Herald, and the
Saturday Evening Post all had dealings with the spy agency.
The CIAs most valuable associations were with the New
York Times, CBS, and Time, Inc.
This media penetration by the CIA is not merely a
baseless conspiracy theory as some might argue, but is
backed up by CIA ofce memos released under Freedom
of Information Acts revealing the placement of import-
ant assets inside every major news organization in the
country. It was not until 1982 that the Agency openly
admitted that reporters on the CIA payroll have acted as
case ofcers to agents in the eld, writes investigative
journalist Alex Constantine.
Most consumers of the corporate media were and
are unaware of the effect that the salting of public
opinion has on their own beliefs, Constantine continues.
A network anchorman in time of national crisis is an
instrument of psychological warfare in the Mockingbird
media. He is a creature from the national security sectors
chamber of horrors. For this reason, consumers of the
corporate press have reason to examine their basic beliefs
about government and life in the parallel universe of
these United States.
Despite the promise of the Smith-Mundt Act that a
rewall stands between foreign and domestic propagan-
da, the CIA, the bastard child of Wall Street lawyers, has

never honored its charter prohibiting domestic operation
and has consistently utilized the corporate media as a
propaganda machine.
Enactment of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act
underscores the fact the CIA no longer pretends to honor
its charter and refrains from ooding the media with
government propaganda. The evaporation of Smith-Mundt
and other provisions to safeguard U.S. citizens against
government propaganda campaigns is part of a larger trend
within the diplomatic and military establishment, ace
reporter Michael Hastings wrote in May, 2012, more than a
year before his assassination.
In fact, this larger trend has been in effect since the
imposition of the National Security Act in 1947 and the
establishment of the National Security Council, the princi-
pal forum used by the nancial elite and their intelligence
apparatus to dictate policy to the president of the United
States and the State Department.

Obama Conquers
Internet Through
Executive Orders
Presidential
policies pave
foundation for
future federal
takeover of
the internet.
O
bamas policies will allow for a future gov-
ernment takeover of the Internet, involving
multiple agencies, including the Department of
Homeland Security, under the guise of national
security needs and crisis management.
In July 2012, Obama quietly released an execu-
tive order entitled Assignment of National Security
and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.
The order created the National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/
EP) Executive Committee consisting of federal agencies such as the Department
of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Depart-
ment of Justice, Department of Commerce, General Services Administration,
Federal Communications Commission, and the Ofce of the Director of Nation-
al Intelligence. It should be noted that the Director of National Intelligence is
James Clapper, notorious for lying to Congress in March on the extent of the
NSAs domestic surveillance.
Here are some highlights of the executive order, which is available in full at
www.whitehouse.gov:
Sec. 5.2. (Responsibilities of the DHS) (e) satisfy priority communications
requirements through the use of commercial, Government, and privately owned
communications resources, when appropriate; (f) maintain a joint indus-
try-Government center that is capable of assisting in the initiation, coordi-
nation, restoration, and reconstitution of NS/EP communications services or
facilities under all conditions of emerging threats, crisis, or emergency...
This allows the DHS, working jointly and directly with private Internet
Service Providers, to easily take over the Internet by claiming priority over
private communication lines in the name of national security. In the future,
the DHS and other federal agencies can respond to whistleblower leaks, such as
Edwards Snowdens revelation that the NSA has direct access to major internet
servers, by claiming they are emerging threats and violations of National
Security communications.
Unconstitutional abuses leaked to media outlets can be suppressed by the
government with this framework created through Obamas executive orders.
Internet censorship will be brought to you by national security needs and
crisis management.
Earlier this year, Obama released another executive order entitled Improving
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. This order created essential pub-
lic-private partnerships with internet infrastructure owners and operators to
improve cybersecurity information sharing. Amusingly, the executive order has
provisions to ensure privacy and civil liberties. Edward Snowden exposed this
complete lie several months later with the PRISM slides a great example of
the doublespeak within these executive orders.
Under innocent-sounding guise, Obama dictates policies that are intended for
more sinister purposes. The further involvement of DHS into Internet security
could very well highlight this point. The next 9/11 could easily be a cyber at-
tack, such as a massive nancial collapse blamed on foreign hackers. This is a
very real possibility considering that the majority of the money supply is digital
in our fractional reserve, at economy.
Could the DHS take advantage of a claimed cyber warfare attack by imposing
a virtual TSA on the American people, requiring them to be identied and
screened before using sections of cyberspace? Weve already seen a New York
bill trying to outlaw the on line use of anonymous screen names. Google and
Yahoo are also now asking for telephone numbers upon registration of new user
accounts. Between the NSA soaking up all the digital communications by the
public and the DHSs increased involvement in cyber security, the freedom of
anonymous expression is in great peril.
THE NEXT 9/11 COULD EASILY
BE A CYBER ATTACK

THEYRE FIXING THE
INTELLIGENCE AND FACTS
AROUND THE ALREADY
DETERMINED POLICY
in Jordan over the past year to prepare for the transfer of
weapons to the rebels in Syria.
The process was identical to the massive deception cam-
paign that led us into the Iraq war. Remember the famous
quote from the leaked Downing Street Memo, where
representatives of British Prime Minister Tony Blairs ad-
ministration discussed Washingtons push for war on Iraq?
Here the head of British intelligence was reporting
back to his government after a trip to Washington in the
summer of 2002:
Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush want-
ed to remove Saddam, through military action, justied by
the conjunction of terrorism and WMD, but the intelligence
and facts were being xed around the policy.
That is exactly what the Obama Administration is doing
with Syria: xing the intelligence and facts around the
already determined policy, and Congress just goes along,
just as they did the last time.
We found out shortly after the Iraq war started that the
facts and intelligence being xed around the policy were
nothing but lies put forth by the neo-con warmongers and
the paid informants, like the infamous and admitted liar
known as Curveball, but we seem to have learned noth-
P
President Obama an-
nounced in early June
that the U.S. intelligence
community had just
determined that the Syrian
government had used
poison gas on a small scale,
killing some 100 people in
a civil conict that has claimed an estimated 100,000 lives.
Because of this use of gas, the president claimed, Syria had
crossed his red line, and the U.S. must begin to arm the
rebels ghting to overthrow the Syrian government.
Setting aside the question of why 100 killed by gas is
somehow more important than 99,900 killed by other
means, the fact is his above explanation is full of holes. The
Washington Post reported that the decision to overtly arm
the Syrian rebels was made weeks ago in other words,
it was made at a time when the intelligence community did
not believe with high condence that the Syrian govern-
ment had used chemical weapons.
Further, this plan to transfer weapons to the Syrian rebels
had become policy much earlier than that, as the Washing-
ton Post reported that the CIA had expanded its secret bases
After 12 years of the War on Terror and the struggle against al-Qaeda, the U.S. decided to
provide weapons to the allies of al-Qaeda. Does anyone really think this is a good idea?

POSSIBLY DESTROY THIS COUNTRY. ANOTHER MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR WAR HAS BEGUN.
ing from being fooled before.
So, Obama now plans to send even more weapons to
the Syrian rebels even though his administration is aware
that the main rebel factions have pledged their loyalty to
al-Qaeda. Does anyone else see the irony? After 12 years of
the War on Terror and the struggle against al-Qaeda, the
U.S. decided to provide weapons to the allies of al-Qaeda.
Does anyone really think this is a good idea?
The Obama administration promises us that this is to
be a very limited operation, providing small arms only,
with no plans for a no-y zone or American boots on the
ground. That sounds an awful lot like how Vietnam started.
Just a few advisors. When these few small arms do not
achieve the pre-determined U.S. policy of regime change in
Syria what is the administration going to do? Admit failure
and pull the troops out, or escalate? History suggests the
answer, and it now appears to be repeating itself once
again. The president has opened a can of worms that will
destroy his presidency and possibly destroy this country.
Another multi-billion dollar war has begun.

T
he Trayvon Martin murder case
is not about justice. Its an excuse
for a lot of ignorant people to
express their racist attitudes. Due
to decades of political correct-
ness promoted by the elite and
inculcated through their cultural
and educational programming system, emotionally
charged racist violence is now acceptable and has
been since at least the 1992 L.A. riots that claimed
over 50 lives following the beating of Rodney King.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of the
most powerful men in America, has taken up that
torch, claiming its not over. He said now that a
jury of his peers has found George Zimmerman not
guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, it is time for the
federal government to step in. Appearing on Meet
the Press on July 14, Reid told host David Gregory
the Justice Department will go after Zimmerman.
And the president, does he have a role in speaking
about it as he did after the shooting? Gregory asked.
Yeah, of course, Reid responded. And I think the
Justice Departments going to take a look at this. You
know, this isnt over with, and I think thats good,
thats our system. Its gotten better, not worse.
In other words, if a jury reaches a verdict the
federal government and the Obama administra-
tion think is not politically correct (or is con-
trary to their political agenda), they will move
to take a look at it and take action to placate
special interests and preferred minorities.
Soon after the verdict was reached on Saturday
night, the NAACP called on the Justice Department
to persecute George Zimmerman for the inexcusable
crime of self-defense. President and CEO Benjamin
Todd Jealous sent out the following petition:
Attorney General Eric Holder,
The Department of Justice has closely moni-
tored the State of Floridas prosecution of the
case against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon
Martin murder since it began. Today, with the
acquittal of George Zimmerman, it is time for the
Department of Justice to act.
The most fundamental of civil rights the right
to life was violated the night George Zimmerman
stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin.
We ask that the Department of Justice file civil
rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this
egregious violation.
Please address the travesties of the tragic death
of Trayvon Martin by acting today.
Thank you.
Other civil rights organizations called for
Zimmerman to be prosecuted. We will be calling
on the federal government to file criminal charges
on the basis of civil rights violations, said C.D.
Witherspoon of the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference of Baltimore. This was done immediately
after the Rodney King verdict, and should be done
if justice is not rendered by the Florida courts.
The NAACP has pledged to fight for the removal
of Stand Your Ground laws in every state and
make racial profiling a primary consideration in
self-defense cases. A number of liberal advocacy
groups, including NAACP, the Urban League, Color
of Change, Common Cause, People for the American
Way, and MoveOn.org, have worked to eliminate
the right of Americans to protect themselves.

and has led to an increase in gun-related deaths in
the more than two dozen states where it has been
passed into law, states Color of Change, as part of a
campaign to eliminate Stand Your Ground laws.
Since 2009, Color of Change has received $550,000
from Soros Open Society Foundation and is closely
connected to MoveOn.org, an organization per-
petually engaged in peddling Obamas globalist
agenda and fundraises for establishment Democrats.
MoveOn.org has also launched a petition demanding
the Justice Department ignore the jury decision in
Florida and further victimize George Zimmerman.
Color of Change is an organization dedicated to
shutting down free speech, free expression, free
markets, and free enterprise, writes Peter Bella
at the Washington Times. They are against cap-
italism and civil liberties. They want to repeal
the Second Amendment, force people to be vic-
tims, and are against stopping voter fraud.
Obama responded to the Zimmerman verdict on
July 13 by calling for renewed legislation aimed
at the Second Amendment. He did not attack
the Bill of Rights directly, but instead admon-
ished Americans for not doing enough to stem
the tide of gun violence that claims too many
lives across this country on a daily basis.
Here is the entire statement by Obama,
posted July 14 on the White House website:
The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not
just for his family, or for any one community, but for
America. I know this case has elicited strong pas-
sions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those
passions may be running even higher. But we are a
nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every
American to respect the call for calm reflection from
two parents who lost their young son. And as we do,
we should ask ourselves if were doing all we can to
widen the circle of compassion and understanding
in our own communities. We should ask ourselves
if were doing all we can to stem the tide of gun
violence that claims too many lives across this
country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves,
as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent
future tragedies like this. As citizens, thats a job for
all of us. Thats the way to honor Trayvon Martin.
It appears Obama, in addition to instruct-
ing the Justice Department to prosecute George
Zimmerman for violating the civil rights of
Trayvon Martin, will attempt to revisit so-called
gun control, an effort that failed dismally ear-
lier this year in a Democrat-controlled Senate.
The characterization of self-defense as vigi-
lante homicide when it contains racial bias in
its application in other words, when a white
person defends himself against violence perpe-
trated by a black person or other government
designated preferred minority underscores
the globalist agenda to disarm all Americans.
The Trayvon Martin case is not about racism, it
is about destroying the Second Amendment and
turning the American people into a defenseless
herd no different than the Russians under Stalin or
the Chinese under Mao. Political power grows out
of the barrel of a gun, Mao infamously said. He
wasnt talking about guns in the hands of citizens.
Racist polarization, promoted in theatrical fashion
by the corporate media, distracts people from the real
cause of class and racial division an economic and
social system designed for exploitation and predation
by a hereditary elite. If we are feeding on each other,
if we perpetually with the passing of each generation
fall victim to class and racial warfare, we will never
recognize the real criminal class victimizing us all.
RACIST POLARIZATION, PROMOTED IN THEATRICAL
FASHION BY THE CORPORATE MEDIA, DISTRACTS PEOPLE
FROM THE REAL CAUSE OF CLASS AND RACIAL DIVISION

EXPLOITATION AND PREDATION BY A HEREDITARY ELITE.

A
s the world reacts to the Trayvon Martin case, including prominent
rappers calling out the media over its race baiting, reports detail
around 160,000 Russian troops were called to combat readiness
following an Israeli strike on Russian-made missiles in Syria.
Is the nation too distracted by the George Zimmerman
trials 24/7 news cycle to even know about this devel-
oping situation that coincides with escalating ten-
sions between Russian and U.S.-afliated nations around the world?
First up is the new revelation that Israel was behind an attack on Syria that tar-
geted Russian-made anti-ship missiles. According to the Israeli National News sources
within the U.S., Israel recently launched an attack on Russian missiles that were appar-
ently sold to Syria and stationed at a critical point within the country. Until now, it
was unknown who had initiated the bombing that had rocked Latakia on July 5th.
Ultimately, bombing the critical point holding the Russians Yakhont anti-ship missile,
Israel is believed to have initiated the bombing via aircraft or a ship in the Mediterranean.
According to the anonymous U.S. ofcial who corresponded with CNN, This attack was
either by air raid or long-range missiles red from boats in the Mediterranean.
Now enter new reports surfacing from the Russian Defense Ministry on orders of Vladimir
Putin that the largest military state of full combat readiness drill is taking place with
around 160,000 troops ordered to report from all corners of the military. Specically, the
translated reports detail how Putin is calling together not just Armed Forces of Russia troops,
but all forms of long-range aircraft, 70 naval ships, bomber and ghter aircraft, and so on.
According to a syndicated Russian announcement, On Friday, during a meeting with Defense
Minister Sergei Shoigu, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an unexpected military
drill, urging all forces to enter a state of full combat readiness on the night of July 13.
These reports say that Putin is essentially assembling the entire military in the
largest such event since the Soviet Union. This is coming in from the Russian lan-
guage version of Forbes and other Russian sources translated to English.
Is this massive state of full combat readiness initiated on July 13th just a training exercise
with no further intention, or is it related to the attack by Israel on Russian-made missiles in
Syria? Whether this is truly the initiation of a massive conict between world powers or not, its
certainly worth the attention of the media and general public. While it does take a lot of digging
to sort through all of these Russian language announcements and get to the bottom of the story,
its much more important than what George Zimmermans lawyers ate for breakfast this morning.

THE LIES ABOUT THE BOMBER

I
ts another example of why you should never
trust the government.
Back in April federal ofcialdom told us
Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev was
shot in the throat and unable to talk. The gov-
ernment trotted out Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick to conrm this fantasy story. He said
Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition
and not yet able to communicate yet.
Then we were fed a more theatric version. The young
Tsarnaev, we were told, attempted to take his own life
when supposedly trapped in a boat. It is thought the
teenager placed a gun in his mouth and pulled the
trigger in a desperate bid to avoid capture and a possible
death penalty, claimed The Mirror, Britains version of
the National Enquirer. Reports say the bullet passed
through his throat, just missing his spinal cord, and came
out the back of his neck.
This Hollywood-esque version dovetailed nicely with
the story that the evil Brothers Tsarnaev were engaged in
a running gun battle with the cops, inging home-made
pressure cooker bombs at their brave pursuers as the pair
attempted to escape the long arm of the law. Then we were
told Dzhokar was being treated by Israeli doctors who have
abundant past experience treating victims of terror be-
cause theyre from Israel. The Blaze reported, Tsarnaev is
in stable condition, but that because of wounds to his throat,
he may never be able to speak again, feeding the fantasy.

THE GOVERNMENT NO
LONGER CARES ABOUT THE
QUALITY OF ITS DECEPTION.
In May, the story changed again. It was said Tsarnaev
didnt have a bullet wound in his throat, but was cut. I
did see a throat injury. To me it looked more like a knife
wound, said Ofcer Jeff Campbell of the Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police SWAT Unit.
It wasnt a puncture hole. It was a slice where it was
spread open, possibly a piece of shrapnel from one of the
explosives that they were using the night before. It didnt
look like a bullet wound to me. It looked like a cut of
some kind. Campbell was supposedly part of the team
that apprehended Tsarnaev, so if anybody knew about
his wounds, it would be Campbell and his fellow SWAT
ofcers. CNN later edited out Campbells comment about
the throat wound.
Now we have a photo of Tsarnaev allegedly surrender-
ing. It was taken by a Massachusetts State Police photogra-
pher. CBS Boston reported on Thursday the photographer,
Sgt. Sean Murphy, gave the photos to the Boston Magazine
because he was upset by the Rolling Stones recent glam-
orized cover photo of the suspected terrorist. Murphy is
under investigation for releasing photos to the magazine.
Note the absence of a throat wound in the photo. The
photo highlights the fact the government lied about Tsar-
naevs throat wound, as the photo clearly shows. Is there
anything else the government is lying about? Is it possible
the entire event is a government contrived ction?
The government no longer cares about the quality of
its deception. In late July, a man we are told was Dzhokar
appeared in court to plead not guilty to terrorism charges.
However, according to a former wrestling teammate inter-
viewed by the Boston Globe, the man in court didnt look
like Tsarnaev. Moreover, the man brought into court had
a thick accent and Tsarnaev does not, as a cell phone video
of him interacting with a child reveals.
OFFICIAL BOSTON BOMBING
NARRATIVE: A CAVALCADE OF
LIES AND DISTORTION
From the outset, the ofcial version of events surround-
ing the Boston bombing event consisted of a sketchy amal-
gamation of lies and fabrications that, like early versions of
the 9/11 fairy tale, represented a work in progress.
The FBI rst claimed the Brothers Tsarnaev were off the
governments radar, a claim that was quickly refuted by
the mother of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Following
interviews with Zubeidat Tsarnaev, the FBI was forced to
concede it had talked with the suspects two years before
the bombing at the Boston Marathon. The accusations
against her sons, Zubeidat told the media, are all lies and
hypocrisy. She said of her eldest son, Tamerlan, that the
CIA and the FBI were controlling his every step.
Next, the government said Tamerlan was killed after the
robbery of a 7-Eleven, a lie parroted faithfully by the estab-
lishment media. With a bomb strapped to his chest, one of
the Boston Marathon suspects was killed early Friday after
he and his accomplice brother robbed a 7-Eleven, shot a
police ofcer to death, carjacked an SUV, and hurled explo-
sives in an extraordinary reght with law enforcement,
NBC News reported on April 19.
This fable is turned on its head by CNN footage of a
naked Tamerlan in police custody.
Tamerlans aunt said the man in the video was her
nephew. A report by the Boston Globe also said the older
Tsarnaev was in custody. Hours later, it was reported that
Tamerlan was dead, leading to the inescapable conclusion
that he was assassinated. Witnesses to the shoot out
described it like something out of a Hollywood movie.
7-Eleven conrmed that the Brothers Tsarnaev did not
rob the convenience store. Margaret Chabris, the director
of corporate communication at 7- Eleven, says the surveil-
lance video of the crime was not taken at a 7-Eleven, and
the suspect that did rob the 7-Eleven does not look like
Tamerlan or Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, USA Today reported on
April 19, 2013. The suspect in the photos for that par-
ticular 7-Eleven robbery looks nothing like the suspects,
Chabris told the newspaper. The police or someone made
a mistake. Someone was confused.
A mistake, or a shoddy attempt to fabricate a cover story
for public consumption painting the brothers as ruthless
and criminal terrorists? Following the purported attack, the
corporate media has done somersaults to convince the public
that the brothers are guilty, an effort recently underscored
by a sensationalistic Rolling Stone magazine cover declaring
Dzhokhar guilty prior to his day in court. The overarching
principle here should be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is entitled to
a presumption of innocence until he is actually proven guilty,
Glenn Greenwald wrote for The Guardian on April 22:
As so many cases have proven from accused (but ex-
onerated) anthrax attacker Stephen Hatll to accused (but
exonerated) Atlanta Olympic bomber Richard Jewell to
dozens, if not hundreds, of Guantanamo detainees accused
of being the worst of the worst, but who were guilty of
nothing people who appear to be guilty based on govern-
ment accusations and trials-by-media are often completely
innocent. Media-presented evidence is no substitute for due
process and an adversarial trial.
Now that the ofcial version has more or less gelled,
and previous versions have found the Orwellian memory
hole, the government will continue to use the suspicious
event as another crucial milestone in its war on terror a
manufactured war now gone domestic, and therefore more
pernicious than ever, requiring additional degradation of
the Bill of Rights. Researchers who insist on pointing out
the early inconsistencies and storyline alterations will be
pegged as scurrilous conspiracy theorists little different
from those who insisted the governments version of what
happened on September 11, 2001, amounted to a not-too
carefully contrived tissue of lies.

O
n July 7, Rep. Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, told Breitbart
News that additional details forthcoming in the IRS scandal will
reveal how the Obama administration used the tax agency as a
political tool against its political enemies. I think what were going
to nd out and I think that the deeper part is not so much the Tea
Party and the Patriot and those people who were targeted, but the
information that has been leaked, Kelly, who is a member of the House Ways and Means
Committee currently investigating the scandal, told Breitbart in a telephone interview.
The information that the IRS has on le on people goes pretty deep into per-
sonal lives. It is being leaked out and given to people for very specic politi-
cal reasons. I think this is something that should be the most chilling thing for
Americans to understand, Kelly explained. This is a branch of government, and
it is under the executive branch that can be used for a lot of different intimida-
tion elements. Think of what these people have, think of what they have on every-
body. If they leak that out to the right person at the right time in the right move-
ment thats looking to do something, they can completely destroy individuals.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released in early May an
audit report conrming the IRS used on behalf of the Obama Administration inap-
propriate criteria to target political enemies. Despite efforts by President Obama
to distance himself from the accusations and limit damage arising from the revela-
tions, Republicans have exploited the scandal for partisan advantage. In fact, both
Democrats and Republicans routinely use not only the IRS, but a number of other
federal agencies to engage in sundry witch hunts targeting their political opposition.
IRS as Political Truncheon
History demonstrates that using the IRS as a weapon against political ene-
mies has proved irresistible for presidents, both Democrat and Republican.
Democrat Franklin Roosevelt used the agency to go after newspapers opposed
to his socialist New Deal. FDR had the IRS target Huey Long, Father Coughlin,
and Republicans, such as former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon.
President Kennedy used the IRS to target the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade, the
Presidential Destruction
of Political Opposition

American Enterprise Institute, the Foundation
for Economic Education, and other groups.
By directing tax audits at individuals and
groups solely because of their political beliefs,
[Kennedys] Ideological Organizations Audit
Project established a precedent for a far more
elaborate program of targeting dissidents,
states a 1976 report by the Senate Select
Committee on Government Intelligence.
Richard Nixon created a Special Services Staff
to go after all IRS activities involving ideolog-
ical, militant, subversive, radical, and similar
type organizations. Nixon went so far as to pass
his notorious enemies list on to the IRS in an
effort to use the available federal machinery
to screw our political enemies, according to
former White House counsel John Dean. Nixons
1974 impeachment charged him with trying
to gain condential information contained in
income tax returns for purposes not authorized
by law, and to cause, in violation of the consti-
tutional rights of citizens, income tax audits, or
other income tax investigations to be initiated
or conducted in a discriminatory manner.
Following a report issued by the Democratic
National Committee in 1995 attacking Bill
Clintons political enemies, the IRS went
after the Heritage Foundation and The
American Spectator magazine. Clinton accus-
ers, including Paula Jones and Gennifer
Flowers, were targeted with IRS audits.
In 1999, the Associated Press reported that of-
cials in the Democratic White House and mem-
bers of both parties in Congress have prompted
hundreds of audits of political opponents in the
1990s. Requests from Congress to audit politi-
cal enemies were expedited, thus underscoring
the fact the agency serves as a political weapon
not only for presidents, but the entire political
class. Permitting congressmen to secretly and
effortlessly sic G-men on whomever they pleased
epitomized ofcial Washingtons contempt for
average Americans and fair play. But because the
abuse was bipartisan, there was little enthusi-
asm on Capitol Hill for an investigation, writes
James Bovard for the Wall Street Journal.
FBI Terrorism Unleashed
In addition to the Internal Revenue Service, the
government has used the Justice Departments
criminal investigative body, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, to attack political
enemies. While the FBI has targeted political
foes since its inception in 1908, known then
simply as the Bureau of Investigation, the
effort did not reach its apex until 1956 with
the establishment of COINTELPRO, an acro-
nym for Counter Intelligence Program.
Then director J. Edgar Hoover instructed the
secret and illegal operation to expose, dis-
rupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neu-
tralize the activities of largely legal political
organizations, targeting at rst socialists and
communists, but in later years the so-called
New Left, anti-war, and national liberation
activists, and the civil rights movement, nota-
bly the activities of Nobel Peace Prize recip-
ient and founder of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, Martin Luther King Jr.
J. Edgar Hoover had decided to destroy the civil
rights movement as it was considered a threat to
the status quo, writes D.S. Wright. As a result
the FBI conducted surveillance on King looking
for dirt to destroy his credibility. The FBI had a
divide and conquer campaign within the civil
rights movement and tried to sow division by false
ag operations and anonymous communications
to bring terror and paranoia to the activists.
Brian Glick, in his book War at Home, describes
the methods used by the FBI to destroy the
establishments political adversaries. When
congressional investigations, political trials, and
other traditional legal modes of repression failed
to counter the growing movements, and even
helped to fuel them, the FBI and police moved
outside the law, writes Glick. They resorted
to the secret and systematic use of fraud and
force to sabotage constitutionally protected
political activity. Their methods ranged far
beyond surveillance, amounting to a home front
version of the covert action for which the CIA
has become infamous throughout the world.
Glick summarizes techniques
used by the FBI:
1) Inltration: Agents and informers did not
merely spy on political activists. Their main
purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very
presence served to undermine trust and scare off
potential supporters. The FBI and police exploited
this fear to smear genuine activists as agents.
2) Psychological Warfare from the Outside:
The FBI and police used a myriad of other
dirty tricks to undermine progressive move-
ments. They planted false media stories and
published bogus leaets and other publications
in the name of targeted groups. They forged
correspondence, sent anonymous letters, and
made anonymous telephone calls. They spread
misinformation about meetings and events, set
up pseudo movement groups run by govern-
ment agents, and manipulated or strong-armed
parents, employers, landlords, school ofcials,
and others to cause trouble for activists.
3) Harassment through the Legal System: The
FBI and police abused the legal system to harass
dissidents and make them appear to be crimi-
nals. Ofcers of the law gave perjured testimony
and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext
for false arrests and wrongful imprisonment.
They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and
other government regulations and used conspic-
uous surveillance, investigative interviews,
and grand jury subpoenas in an effort to intim-
idate activists and silence their supporters.
4) Extralegal Force and Violence: The FBI and
police threatened, instigated, and conducted
break-ins, vandalism, assaults, and beatings.
The object was to frighten dissidents and dis-
rupt their movements. In the case of radical
Black and Puerto Rican activists (and later
Native Americans), these attacks including
political assassinations were so extensive,
vicious, and calculated that they can accurately
be termed a form of ofcial terrorism.
In 2012, documents received by the Partnership
for Civil Justice Fund through a Freedom of
Information Act request revealed the FBI had not
terminated the program, as it claimed to have
done in 1971. The documents detail a concerted
effort by the FBI and the Department of Homeland
Security, the latter ostensibly created to com-
bat terrorism, to destroy and render politically
ineffective the Occupy Wall Street movement. The
documents released through the FOIA paint a pic-
ture of close collaboration between the FBIs Joint
Terrorism Task Forces, fusion centers, and state
and local law enforcement around the country.
In addition to massive surveillance, the FBI
considered assassinating Occupy Wall Street
activists, a plan that harks back to the dark-
est days of CLOINTELPRO when members of
the Black Panthers and the American Indian
Movement were targeted for elimination.
Most disturbing of all, there is talk of the
government being ready to engage in sniper
attacks against protesters in Houston, Texas, if
deemed necessary and perhaps needing to
38
formulate a plan to kill the leadership [of the
protest groups] via suppressed sniper ries,
writes Tom McNamara for Counterpunch.
CIA Violates Its Charter
Although the CIAs charter states it cannot
operate within the United States, the agency has
done so on numerous occasions, most notably
under Operation CHAOS. As a result of the CIAs
work with migr organizations in the 1950s
under President Eisenhower, a number of pro-
prietary companies, fronts, and covers were
established for the purpose of conducting illegal
intelligence activity within the United States.
So widespread did they become that President
Johnson allowed the then CIA Director, John
McCone, to create in 1964 a new super-secret
branch called the Domestic Operations Division
(DOD), the very title of which mocked the explicit
intent of Congress to prohibit CIA operations
inside the U.S. This disdain for Congress per-
meated the upper echelons of the CIA, writes
Verne Lyon, a former CIA undercover operative.
With the DCS, the DOD, the old boy network,
and the CIA Ofce of Security operating without
congressional oversight or public knowledge,
all that was needed to bring it together was a
perceived threat to the national security and
a presidential directive unleashing the dogs,
Lyon explains. That happened in 1965 when
President Johnson instructed McCone to pro-
vide an independent analysis of the growing
problem of student protest against the war in
Vietnam. Prior to this, Johnson had to rely on
information provided by the FBI, intelligence
that he perceived to be slanted by Hoovers
personal views, which often ignored the facts.
Two sub programs under Operation CHAOS,
Project RESISTANCE and Project MERRIMAC,
subverted the anti-war movement from within
by inserting moles and agents provocateur.
Under both Projects, the CIA inltrated agents
into domestic groups of all types and activi-
ties, Lyon continues. It used its contacts with
local police departments and their intelligence
units to pick up its police skills and began in
earnest to pull off burglaries, illegal entries,
use of explosives, criminal frame-ups, shared
interrogations, and disinformation. CIA teams
purchased sophisticated equipment for many
starved police departments, and in return got
to see arrest records, suspect lists, and intelli-
gence reports. Many large police departments,
in conjunction with the CIA, carried out illegal,
warrantless searches of private properties.
The Surveillance and
Subversion State
These are only the most egregious and pub-
licly known efforts by the government to kill off
political activism the establishment considers a
threat to maintaining the political status quo and
to continue to expand the national security state.
Doubtlessly, there are more we do not know about.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden has demon-
strated that the government is interested in
nothing short of creating a nightmarish Stasi
surveillance state capable of monitoring and
cataloguing not only the nancial and social
activity of the American people, but their
political behavior as well. In fact, undermin-
ing potential adversaries and destroying their
ability to organize politically is the primary
goal of Prism and other such programs.
The IRS scandal pales in comparison when
stacked up against COINTELPRO, Operation
CHAOS, and other lesser-known programs run
out of the Pentagon and intelligence opera-
tions attached to any number of federal agen-
cies, including the Department of Energy (the
Ofce of Intelligence and Counterintelligence)
and the Treasury Department (Ofce of
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence).
The overblown IRS scandal represents a small
and basically feeble attempt to sidetrack the Tea
Party movement, which is now more or less a sub-
sidiary of the Republican Party and, beyond par-
tisan politics, does not pose a serious threat to the
establishment. The so-called scandal is a manifes-
tation of the False Left-Right Paradigm and its end-
less internal, sectarian warfare designed to side-
track meaningful political change. Leaders of the
Tea Party movement should be thankful the FBI
did not decide to assassinate its leaders as it appar-
ently did with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
39

A
ccording to journalist David
Lindorff, the FBI had plans
to assassinate the leaders of
the now moribund Occupy
movement. Lindorff cites a
Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request led by the Washington, DC-based
Partnership for Civil Justice Fund.
The redacted document obtained from the FBI in
Houston states:
An identied [DELETED] as of October planned
to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic)
in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary. An identied
[DELETED] had received intelligence that indicated
the protesters in New York and Seattle planned
similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and
Austin, Texas. [DELETED] planned to gather intelli-
gence against the leaders of the protest groups and
obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the
leadership via suppressed sniper ries.
The FBI conrmed that the document is legitimate.
For the astute student of history real history, not
the massaged version proffered by the ruling elite
news of an FBI plot to murder political activists does
not come as a surprise. Recent history provides nu-
merous examples, most notably during the 1960s and
1970s when the FBIs COINTELPRO was in full swing.
When congressional investigations, political
trials, and other traditional legal modes of repres-
sion failed to counter the growing movements, and
even helped to fuel them, the FBI and police moved
outside the law, writes Brian Glick in his book, War
at Home. They resorted to the secret and systematic
use of fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally
protected political activity. Their methods ranged
far beyond surveillance, amounting to a home front
version of the covert action for which the CIA has
become infamous throughout the world.
In addition to psychological warfare and dirty
tricks, the government engaged in extralegal force
and violence. The FBI and police threatened,
instigated, and themselves conducted break-ins,
vandalism, assaults, and beatings, Glick writes.
The object was to frighten dissidents and disrupt
their movements. In the case of radical Black and
Puerto Rican activists (and later Native Americans),
these attacks, including political assassinations, were
so extensive, vicious, and calculated that they can
accurately be termed a form of ofcial terrorism.
The FBIs techniques were often extreme, with
the agency being complicit in the murder and assas-
sination of political dissidents, or having people sent
away to prison for life, adds Tom MacNamara.
COINTELPRO terrorism enabled the FBI and
police to eliminate the leaders of mass movements
without undermining the image of the United States
as a democracy, complete with free speech and the
rule of law, Glick continues. Charismatic orators
and dynamic organizers were covertly attacked and
neutralized before their skills could be transferred
to others and stable structures established to carry
on their work. Malcolm X was killed in a faction-
al dispute which the FBI took credit for having
developed in the Nation of Islam. Martin Luther
King, Jr. was the target of an elaborate FBI plot to
drive him to suicide and replace him in his role of
the leadership of the Negro people with conserva-
tive Black lawyer Samuel Pierce (later named to
Reagans cabinet). Many have come to view Kings
eventual assassination (and Malcolms as well) as
itself a domestic covert operation. According to the
ofcial narrative, COINTELPRO was terminated in
1971, but this is obviously not the case.
In regard to the Occupy Wall Street movement,
the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, FOIA docu-
ments reveal the program is alive and well. The FBI
was treating the Occupy Wall Street movement, from
its inception, as a potential criminal and domes-
tic terrorist threat, writes McNamara. The close
collaboration between the Department of Homeland
Security and ofcials in 40 different cities rst
disclosed by Oakland mayor Jean Quan in the
determined (and ultimately successful) effort to
destroy the largely peaceful movement demonstrates
how serious the federal government is about deect-
ing any challenge to its monopoly on political power.
The assassination of Martin Luther King, Mal-
colm X, Fred Hampton, and other activists, journal-
ists, and political gures considered threats to the
status quo demonstrate the viability of murder as
a political tool for the elite. As Brian Glick notes,
the CIA has used assassination abroad for decades
and its importation into the United States simply
reveals how serious they are to control any effective
political opposition, especially when activism has
the potential to effectuate political change or, as in
the case of Occupy Wall Street, result in a political
awakening of millions of people.

PRO operations, read Kurt Nimmos The Son of

INFOWARS MAGAZINE: HOW DID YOU GET
STARTED IN PRODUCING ART?
Peter Santa-Maria: I grew up reading comics and watching cartoons like most kids. I always
knew I wanted to be involved in producing them one day. As I got older, I became involved in
the music industry, and I saw the reality behind all of the glitz and glam. It wasnt something
I wanted to be a part of long term, and it gave me a perspective on people that I did not have
before. I needed to succeed or fail on my own merits, so I rediscovered my love for visual art
and started drawing, painting, and sculpting 24/7 until I felt like I had the chops to exhibit.
WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION FOR YOU WORK?
In terms of style, my biggest inuences are comic book illustrators like Mike Mignola, Frank
Miller, Eric Powell, Ryan Ottley, James Jean, and Scott Morse. Those are the guys that I look
at over and over again. Other contemporary artists that inspire me are Dan McCall and Brian
Reedy. Historically, I love Honore Daumier, who was imprisoned for his depiction of King Louis
Philippe in a print titled Gargantua. Everyone look him up.
In terms of theme, I just look around at whats going on. I feel a responsibility to use my
skills for ghting corruption and injustice. Until I create an image that communicates my
thoughts on an issue, I cant do or think about anything else, but I always look to satirize and
poke fun at authority in the process. I ask myself, How can I get people who are apathetic or
opposed to my point of view to see where I am coming from, especially when what I am trying
to say has been labeled extreme by others? Humor is the answer. When everyone is laughing,
everyone is experiencing commonality, and therefore, more likely to listen to what each other
has to say. It works almost every single time.
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WOODCUT
PRINTING FROM CARTOONING AND ILLUSTRATION?
I pick the technique based on the image and my plan for it, but I love working in different
media. I started woodcuts after meeting Brian Reedy. Watching him work makes you want to
do the same. It also turned out to be a relatively cheap way to make many reproductions all by
hand. Woodcuts lend themselves to political art I make because you can see the artists hand in
the work. We are in a time where people want to go back to the organic, the hand-made, the
down-to-earth. These prints meet that desire.

A VIDEO OF YOURS SHOWCASING YOUR WORK WAS RECENTLY FEATURED ON WE ARE
CHANGE. HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WE ARE CHANGE, AND WHAT DO YOU
HOPE TO COME FROM THE EXPOSURE?
Peter Santa-Maria, an artist, high school teacher,
and Infowarrior, crossed our path in the middle
of July as a caller on the Alex Jones Show. He
impressed us with his energy and talent, along
with his steadily growing momentum, due in part
to a film by independent news and activist web-
site WeAreChange.org featuring Santa-Marias
artwork. His work successfully melds his passion
for freedom and expression with a challenge to
action by way of combining pop-culture refer-
ences with themes of our current degenerative
society and political system. It is simultaneously
playfully irreverent, visually intriguing, and
mentally stimulating. His work can be found at
attacktheplanet.com, a website he shares with
friend and fellow artist Brian Reedy.

I am incredibly grateful to Luke Rudkowski and We Are Change. Ive always been a fan
of their work. My friend and lmmaker Christoper Delamo of RedPillPhilosophy.com was
working with We Are Change prior, so he told me there was a chance theyd launch the
video. Hes another example of just getting active in your own capacity to affect change.
The only thing I hope that will come of this video and the attention my work has been
receiving is that others will start doing whatever it is they do well to bring awareness to
the issues we all feel are important. Its amazing how powerful we all are.
WHAT RESPONSES ARE YOU GETTING
FROM YOUR ARTWORK?
It has been incredible! We sold out of a small zine I made with Brian Reedy illustrat-
ing crazy current event articles. I stuck to my guns and sold a painting to a big-time art
collector. It was of a fat kid with tumor creatures and scientists talking to Donald Rumsfeld
about how aspartame is dangerous. Rumsfeld says something about how thats perfect for
killing some kids. Abrasive and offensive, but that is what makes me laugh and its based
in reality. That collector gave me a highly coveted space in the Wynwood Art District here
in Miami, and I had my rst solo exhibition. Sold a ton of controversial political paintings
with large price tags and I havent looked back. One guy told me he wanted to set my
prints on re. I told him to buy them rst.
WHAT CAUSED YOU TO PRODUCE
POLITICALLY FUELED ARTWORK?
My grandfather had to ee his home and journalism career in Cuba with his wife and
two young daughters in the bottom of a ship after Fidel Castro took over. My stepfather
was in prison for over a year because he made artwork and lms protesting the Castro
regime and showing the truth about life in Cuba under the despot. Since I can remember,
I have had a disdain for tyrants and unlawful authority in general. I was disconnected
from current events and politics for a long time, thinking that there was nothing someone
like me could do. I watched the Ron Paul debates in 2007, and instantly, everything came
into focus. This was the rst time anyone from the government was saying something
that made sense to me. After that, a group of friends and I attended political happenings
to hand out literature on Ron Paul. I was at a famous Cuban restaurant in Miami called
Versailles for a Rudy Giuliani event. I sat down in the caf and had just ordered some
food near where Giuliani was going to pander when I felt two giant hands grab me by the
back of my shirt collar and rip me out of my seat. The voice with a thick New York accent
said, You can eat later! Before I could blink, I was thrown out of the restaurants side
entrance and locked out by some enormous, plain-clothes goon. I was wearing a t-shirt
that simply said, Listen to Ron Paul, which Im sure was what got me tossed. By the time
I was able to get back in through a bunch of rented security guards, they had escorted that
nerdy ghoul Giuliani out of there. It was just like the stories I had heard growing up about
Cuba, but here in the free country. Its a constant source of motivation. There are Giulianis
everywhere. Disgusting.
YOU TEACH ADVANCED ART CLASSES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. DO YOU
ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO QUESTION AUTHORITY?
Of course, though I try to be clever about it. I look for the moments when lessons can be
taught organically, so I can help them interpret a situation in their own way, as opposed to
telling them that they have to rebel. Some kids are dealing with things that are much more im-
mediate than geo-political events. They tend to disconnect themselves from the outside world
because their smaller world is much more pressing. Most are still searching for their identity,
and I try to help them nd at least a part of it. I would say, however, that most of them are
skeptical of anyone who would tell them what to do. The rst thing they see in my classroom
when they walk in everyday is a giant poster of Gandhis head that says DISOBEY.
SINCE YOU NOTICE THAT MANY STUDENTS HAVE
MORE IMMEDIATELY PRESSING CONCERNS, IS THERE
HOPE IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR BROADER
POLITICAL AND SOCIETAL CHANGES?
Yes! They are brilliant, creative, energetic, and cannot wait to get out
into the world. They are empowered through their craft and skill. They
arent going to take crap from anyone. The world is going to come at
them fast when they graduate and they will be ready. My students ques-
tion everything. My school is in a rough neighborhood, but these kids
have their heads up and are making great work and winning awards. I
know that more than a few are going to make great artwork and blow
peoples minds! They will affect change through their intelligence, kind-
ness, courage and ability. I love them.
WHAT IS THE POLITICAL CLIMATE IN MIAMI
THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO COUNTER?
I love Miami. I dont think I could live anywhere else. There is so much
culture and diversity. The art in Miami is world famous. Every year, the
Art Basel show brings people from the four corners of the Earth. The
weather is great; the food is great; the only thing that ruins Miami are
the corrupt local politicians. We meet a lot of great people who were do-
ing everything in their power to improve things locally, but it is obvious
that the local maa are using the peoples resources to climb to higher
positions in politics. Everyone is dirty, Im telling you. The thing with
the local politics is they have a lot of money behind the corruption here.
When you try and go up against them they start to rage like creatures
from a horror lm. Theyre just a bunch of dorks though. We have no
money and no history and have affected a lot of change, turning a lot
of peoples heads in different directions. I feel that I affect more positive
change now through my interactions with my students and my artwork,
which allows me to meet new people outside of politics that are where
I once was apathetic. I encourage people to get active, and I am
teaching young people the skills. I feel like I am helping to build an army
of good people.
SINCE I CAN REMEMBER, I HAVE HAD A
DISDAIN FOR TYRANTS AND UNLAWFUL
AUTHORITY IN GENERAL. I WAS
DISCONNECTED FROM CURRENT EVENTS
AND POLITICS FOR A LONG TIME, THINKING
THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SOMEONE LIKE
ME COULD DO.

F
rom Free Mind Films, the creators of
A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995,
comes State of Mind: the Psychology
of Control. The lm delves into the
shocking agendas at work, dragging to
light suppressed historical and current
programs meant to control human behavior. From the
ancient roots of manipulation to its maturity in the psycho-
logical experiments of government intelligence agencies,
State of Mind reveals much of what we believe to be true
as deliberate deception. Driving home the dreadful price of
our ignorance, the lm exposes the global elites systematic
plan to implant lies into our consciousness and erect a
tyranny over the minds of men.
Intensely researched and brimming with captivating
interviews, State of Mind tells the story of how we have
been manipulated, conned, and subjugated since the begin-
ning of mans recorded history. From cradle to grave our
parents, peers, institutions and society inform our values
and behaviors but, this process has been hijacked. State
of Mind examines the science of control that has evolved
over generations to keep us rmly in place so that dicta-
tors, power brokers, and corporate puppeteers may prot
from our ignorance and slavery. From the anvil of compul-
sory schooling to media and entertainment, we are kept in
perpetual bondage to the ideas that shape our actions.
State of Mind features interviews with some of the
nations most recognizable and knowledgeable writers,
lmmakers, and activists, including Alex Jones, Jon Rap-
poport, G. Edward Grifn, Charlotte Iserbyt, Dr. Colin Ross,
Dr. Eldon Taylor, Richard Grove, Craig Roberts, Doug Val-
entine, Kurt Haskell, Bruce Levine, and Anthony Schaeffer.

Americas Artificial
Rift: The Two Party
System
O
n any given day, you can nd
a news story that focuses on
the conict between Dem-
ocrats and Republicans, or
Group A and Group B. These
groups could be anything,
but as long as they are touted
as being the opposite of each other, they will clash. When
one party supports a bill, the other tends to oppose it. This
holds true for both sides, creating a never-ceasing battle over
political parties, as opposed to policy.
The change in each partys fundamental policies has
been warped into an innitesimally minute amount of dis-
tinction from one another. When one does not agree with
the Republican stance, they generally lean towards a
Democratic stance. The guise of the two parties creates
a false sense of freedom and liberation from a structured
ideal. The Soviet Unions single party system was a failure
due to its inability to withstand a dissident attack. The
United States two-party system is simply the post-beta
form of the Soviet-style political spectrum, with the guise
of liberty upon its aging fangs.
The word paradigm (paradigma), compounded from
its Greek root word to show, accurately
describes the dimension between the left and right party.
This paradigm requires a vice grip of social ideology held
together for stability. A single partys inuence can break
without a backboard to cater towards any dissidence. Two
parties can stand up against one another to create a more
powerful structure, both geometrically and intellectually,
that can withstand intense dissidence from each party
for one reason: the rebellion of the rst partys ideals are
reciprocated by the second.
The war between Left and Right diminishes the focus
on real issues. A frighteningly large number of people will
make all their decisions based upon their party leaders.
The debate turns into Left versus Right, instead of what is
best for the country. The mainstream media loves to turn
everything into a matter of party wars, instead of discuss-
ing the actual issue at its core.
Instead of thinking Left or Right, think about it from
a human perspective. What will this do to our country?
How will it affect me? How will it affect my neighbors?
Imagine for a moment that you go to a used car dealership
and search around for a nice car. You nd a car in decent
condition you like. You ask about the price, and the sales-
man says it will cost you $95,000.
In this case, most people would rst investigate the true
value of the car before purchasing it. While it seems com-
pletely logical to nd the true value of the car, many do
not take this metaphorical step when it comes down to Left
versus Right. Placing blind trust in the leaders of a political
party is just like trusting the used-car salesman to give you
the best price. Find out the truth for yourself, as its the
only way to truly nd out whats going on.
The mainstream media loves to take legitimate topics
and turn them into a battle between political parties. A
perfect example is the healthcare bill. Even though it has
ridiculous policy changes, and a eugenics-based provision
system, it is still turned into a Left-versus-Right issue by
the media. Luckily people are beginning to see through this
false two-party system. The mainstream medias deception
is wearing off quite rapidly as the public begins to realize
that they are being duped.
You do not have time to waste on petty arguments
that center around the false party wars. Use your time
to get real information out, like the implications of the
healthcare bill or the shocking dangers of vaccinations.
True patriotism is to have thoughts that do not derive
from the structured and targeting news media, or the
most famous political puppet in your region. Realize that
regardless of which party the current political gurehead
is afliating himself with, he is still the same as the
previous leader. It is a vicious cycle that continues to this
day. The difference is that now the people are waking up
to this cycle and opposing it.

mages seldom broadcast on mainstream media
networks revealed a wave of anti-Obama fervor
throughout Egypt as demonstrators blamed the
White House for helping to install Mohamed
Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who was
toppled by the Egyptian military on July 3. The
protests in Egypt before Morsi was deposed
were largely characterized by the media as rep-
resenting an even split between pro-government Muslim
Brotherhood advocates and the anti-Morsi opposition
movement, despite the fact that the anti-Morsi demon-
strations have been far larger. However, one aspect of the
demonstrations that has been almost completely ignored
is the fact that Egyptians rmly lay the blame for Morsis
calamitous year in ofce at the feet of the White House.
Egyptians are fully cognizant of the fact that the
Obama administration played a key role in contriving
the revolution that toppled former President Mubarak.
Their signs also condemn the role of Anne Patterson, the
U.S. Ambassador to Egypt. As Infowars.com previously
covered, the 2011 revolution in Egypt was far from a
grass roots uprising, given that its organization was aided
by establishment NGOs like Freedom House (linked to
the CIA) and National Endowment for Democracy
(NED). Despite supporting Mubarak for decades, the
U.S. abandoned him and threw its support behind
the Muslim Brotherhood when Mubarak rejected U.S.
attempts to establish military bases inside the country
and seize control of Egypts communications networks.
Mohamed Morsi oversaw the implementation of
a dictatorship in Egypt that rivaled that crafted by
his autocratic predecessor. After enshrining Shariah
law in the newly drafted constitution, Morsi granted
himself sweeping powers to introduce any law and
made himself immune from judicial oversight. Eric
Trager, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy, told CBC News that Morsi was on paper
the most powerful Egyptian leader since the pharaoh.
Unlike in Syria, where a militant-led insurrection
was hyped as a democratic uprising, the largest
mass protest in human history was met with deaf-
ening silence from the White House. The only
ofcial reference to Egypt came from Secretary of
State John Kerry, whose statement failed to address
what was actually happening and instead centered
on the weather conditions in Tahrir Square.

TOXIC TASTE
written by:
Julie Wilson
Public knowledge and awareness of genetically-engineered (GE) foods or genetically-modied organisms
(GMO) has been steadily building for years now, but Californias Proposition 37 introduced last year left even
more people wondering what GMOs were and why it was such a big deal they be labeled. Proposition 37 made
the ballot last November through a petition of signatures from California residents.
If passed, according to voterguide.com, the proposition would have required labeling on food sold to consum-
ers made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specic ways. This would have prohibited
marketing such foods as natural.
Even though polls showed that Californians overwhelmingly supported Prop 37, the legislation still failed by 6
percent of the vote. The failure was due in part to massive campaign dollars raised and used by giant corpora-
tions like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, and Kellogg, who helped raise over $43 million dollars, while the
grassroots campaign raised a mere $9 million.
The campaign waged against Prop 37 spread a slew of ugly deceptive lies attempting to persuade the public
into voting against the proposition. One of the major lies told by the big lobbyists was that Californians would
see their grocery bills increase by at least $600 a month. Another deceitful tactic included a mailer sent out to
voters using a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seal that fooled the recipients into thinking the FDA was
against the measure.
Despite the fail of Prop 37, many states, like Connecticut and Maine, have since moved towards enacting their
own regulations on labeling GMOs. However, theres a catch. The states cant move forward with the law until
four neighboring states pass similar laws. Clearly this puts a damper on the victories.
Americans took another blow on March 26 when President Obama surreptitiously signed the Farmer Assur-
ance Provision, commonly referred to as the Monsanto Protection Act, into law while the public was convenient-
ly xated on other distractingly publicized controversial topics.
The Monsanto Protection Act bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of GE seeds.
Food Democracy Now!, a grassroots movement of 650,000 farmers and citizens, claims, its basically an ATM
machine and a corporate handout to Monsanto that puts every farmer and consumer at risk.
WHY ALL THE FUSS OVER THE RIGHT TO HAVE OUR FOODS LABELED?
Well, to start, cancer has gone from the tenth cause of death to the second in just over fteen years. Other
health problems such as infertility, obesity, diabetes, food allergies, and autism have all seen massive increases
since GMOs entered the market.
Biotech companies like Monsanto, Dupont, and Dow claim that GM seeds are better because they withstand
extreme weather conditions, offer increased yield and are more nutritious. However, these are blatant lies, and
in all actuality, they have been found to perform worse than conventional seeds, and are not only unhealthy, but
deadly for humans and animals alike.
When genetically-modied plants produce their own insecticide, the same poison gets passed on to the
consumer. These poisons are then ingested into the blood stream and do not only stay present for lengths of

time, but have the capability of reproducing inside you. This means that your own body can become an insecti-
cide-producing factory.
In addition, the plants are also sprayed with heavy doses of harsh chemicals. Roundup, one of the main chem-
icals used, has been proven to cause hormone disruption, DNA damage, cancer, birth defects, and neurological
disorders. Instead of warding off weeds, it has actually caused super-weeds and super-bugs to develop that are
resistant to herbicides and pesticides and are still destroying crops.
Ingesting the poisons found in GM foods causes your cells to lose their identity and fail to recall their function.
Once cells lose their functionality, they can no longer provide your organs with the instructions needed to oper-
ate. These frightening side-effects are the reason many states are nally rushing to, at the very least, label GMOs,
so that people have the freedom to make a choice regarding food that wont cause cancer, infertility, or any other
horrifying disease.
Not to worry though because Monsanto swears their products are safe. How do they know? Well, theyve em-
ployed their own scientists to conduct their own short term studies that say GM foods are completely safe. To the
contrary, studies done independently (and outside of the U.S., because Monsanto has made it illegal for anyone
else in the country to test their products) have had quite different results.
For example, the longest running study, totaling two years of experimentation, was conducted in France and
published last year. The results were scarier than you can imagine.
The French study involved 200 rats with a life span of two years. Researchers investigated how a diet of Mon-
santos Roundup Ready corn affected their health. According to Mother Earth News, the study separated the rats
into ten groups, of which three had part of their standard diet replaced at varying levels with Roundup Ready
corn that had been treated with Roundup in the eld; three received the same feed protocol, but with untreated
Roundup-Ready corn; three ate no GM corn, but had tiny amounts of Roundup herbicide in their drinking water;
and one control group ate two-thirds
standard rat chow and one-third non-GM
corn. Each group contained ten females
and ten males.
The results revealed disturbing severe
adverse health effects, including the
development of mammary tumors, as well
as kidney and liver damage, which led to
premature death. Most of the side-effects
only became apparent after 90 days.
Conveniently, Monsantos longest study of
side-effects concluded at 90 days.
Towards the end of the study, research-
ers found that 50 to 80 percent of the
female rats had developed large tumors, compared with only 30 percent developing tumors in the control group.
In males, liver congestion and necrosis were 2.5 to 5.5 times higher than in the control group, and there were
1.3 to 2.3 times more instances of kidney disease. Overall, among the rats receiving GM corn and/or Roundup,
up to 50 percent of males and 70 percent of females died prematurely, compared with only 30 percent and 20
percent in the control group.
Some professionals argue that rats arent suitable test subjects because humans are simply too different bio-
logically and far more complex. However, nearly every product we use today is either rst tested on rats or some
other type of mammal before granted approval for humans. Humans arent the only ones adversely affected by
GM food though. Recently, farmers have been understandably upset about mass die-offs and infertility occurring
in their livestock.
Livestock news source Cattle Network says Iowa farmer Jerry Rosman started giving his pigs GMO corn in
feed in 1997 without trouble, but things changed in 2000 when he switched to a different companys genetics
with a new genetically modied trait. Starting in 2000, most of Rosmans animals were unable to reproduce with
a low sperm count in males and females showing false pregnancies. The pigs that were reproducing had smaller
litters. By adjusting the type of corn used, Rosman concluded the corn with the genetically modied trait he
started using in 2000 was causing the problem. Continued losses and his shrinking herd forced him to close his
farm two years later. Some of Rosmans pigs even gave birth to empty bags of water.
THESE FRIGHTENING SIDE-EFFECTS ARE THE REASON
MANY STATES ARE FINALLY RUSHING TO, AT THE
VERY LEAST, LABEL GMOS, SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE
FREEDOM TO MAKE A CHOICE REGARDING FOOD THAT
WONT CAUSE CANCER, INFERTILITY, OR ANY OTHER
HORRIFYING DISEASE.
55

THE CONSUMPTION
OF GMOS IS
SYSTEMATICALLY
CHANGING THE HUMAN
DNA SEQUENCE,
ENDANGERING NOT
ONLY INDIVIDUAL
HEALTH, BUT OUR
SPECIES AS A WHOLE.
A 2006 publication from the International Service for
Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) assures
that GM corn grain used for feeding livestock has received
extensive testing and undergoes a long approval process.
Feeding trials have been conducted to examine the safety
and efcacy of GM feeds for farm livestocks. Based on
these studies, there is no evidence of signicantly altered
nutritional composition, deleterious effects, or the occur-
rence of transgenic DNA or protein in animal products
derived from animals fed with GM feed ingredients.
However, a second study conducted by a group of scien-
tists lead by Dr. Judy Carman of the Institute of Health and
Environmental Research in Australia has proved that GMO
is anything but safe.
Since the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved GMO
soy and corn for livestock feed in 1996, livestock in the UK
have been consuming it ever since. Dr. Carman explains
at a commercial piggery in the U.S., we took 168 just-
weaned pigs and fed them a typical diet for the piggery,
containing soy and corn, for 5 months until the pigs were
slaughtered at their usual slaughter age. Half of the pigs
were fed widely-used varieties of GM soy and GM corn for
this whole period, and the other half of the pigs were fed
an equivalent non-GM diet as a control group. The GM diet
contained three GM genes and therefore three GM pro-
teins. One protein made the plant resistant to a herbicide,
and two proteins were insecticides.
The study concluded that GMO foods led to a toxic mix
in the digestive tract of the animals causing complications,
including reproductive failure. All of the pigs studied
displayed adverse health affects and females in particular
showed carcinoma, endometriosis, inammation, enlarged
uid-lled uteruses, stomach ulcers, thinning of the intesti-
nal walls, and an increase in hemorrhaging bowels.
Jerry Rosmans pigs exhibited many of the same com-
plications as the GMO-fed pigs in the Australia study,
which is frightening considering the fact that pigs and
humans have very similar digestive tracts. Shockingly,
none of these results have been reported in the biochem-
istry tests performed by Monsanto and other companies
in the GM industry.
Thankfully, research performed by other countries has
steadily exposed the horrors of genetically engineered
foods, but here in America, the biotech lobbies prevent us
from even having a label on our food products. Shouldnt
we at least have the right to know what is in our food and
to make the choice ourselves about what to purchase?
The consumption of GMOs is systematically changing the
human DNA sequence, endangering not only individual
health, but our species as a whole. If the biotech compa-
nies continue to control our food supply, it wont be long
before our genetic composition is destroyed completely.

E
dward Snowden is a heroic patriot.
He will be remembered for adding anoth-
er stepping stone to the path towards liberty.
By leaking information on the massive
extent of the NSAs illegal surveillance, he
showed just how rm the shackles are on the American
people. Snowden sacriced himself to build barriers to tyr-
anny, yet several media outlets are downplaying Snowden
and his exploits as they match their spin with Obamas
rhetoric that Snowden is simply a common hacker unwor-
thy of exceptional pursuit by U.S. forces.
These media outlets are trying to select your opinions
for you. This process of mass conditioning in place of
independent thought is nothing new. For decades, the CIA
used mass media to brainwash the public on an extensive,
international scale. In 1948, the newly founded spy agency
created a covert psychological and paramilitary division
called the Ofce of Policy Coordination (OPC), headed by
Wall Street lawyer and Navy veteran Frank Wisner.
According to A Timeline of CIA Atrocities by Steve
Kangas, the OPC specialized in propaganda, economic
warfare, sabotage, subversion of hostile governments,
and additional covert actions. To support these actions,
Wisner started Operation Mockingbird, a secret program to
push political propaganda through mass media in order to
manipulate the public at whim.
Operation Mockingbird recruited American journal-
ists, published magazines as fronts, and funded college
organizations in an enormous undertaking. Journalists
wrote news stories based on CIA-written press releases,
and were bribed to write with a particular slant. As other
writers would cite the original stories, the CIA lies easily
propagated throughout the news without any indication of
their true origins.
Through this method of opinion engineering, Wisner
controlled publishers, owners, and press members at
Newsweek, The New York Times, CBS, and other large pub-
lications, according to Deborah Davis, author of Katharine
the Great: Katharine Graham and The Washington Post,
the unauthorized biography of the Washington Post owner
Katharine Graham. Wisners media accomplices even in-
cluded Grahams husband and co-owner of The Washington
Times, Phil Graham.
The CIAs dominance on mass media was not limited to
major news outlets. This intentional dumbing down of the
public also included wire services which provided news
to small town newspapers. Rural audiences were not safe
from the ofcial narratives advocated by the agency.
Operation Mockingbird allowed the CIA to turn press mem-
bers into perpetual puppets, oohing and aahing the public
into supporting the agencys sinister agendas.
Around 1953, Wisner took over another department,
and CIA Director Allen Dulles and CIA ofcial Cord
Meyer joined Operation Mockingbird. Dulles honed his
intelligence experience as a career diplomat in Europe.
He became the CIA director in early 1953 during the
Eisenhower Administration. Meyer served as a platoon
leader in World War II and suffered severe injuries during
the Battle of Guam. After the war, he promoted the idea
of one-world government, and in 1947, he funded and
headed the United World Federalists, now known as
Citizens for Global Solutions.
When they joined the mass brainwashing program,
Operation Mockingbird commanded over 24 news outlets.
Throughout the 1950s, the program involved at least
3,000 CIA employees writing, coordinating, and releasing
propaganda to mass media, according to Mockingbird: The
Subversion of the Free Press by the CIA by Alex Constan-
tine. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover noticed the CIAs power
and grew jealous. Hoover told Senator Joseph McCarthy,
then at the peak of his notoriety, that Meyer had leftist
connections. McCarthy used this allegation to publicly
attack Meyer and the entire CIA.
Operation Mockingbird responded, inciting the media
to attack McCarthy. Two Spring 1954 episodes of the
documentary series See It Now hosted by journalist
Edward R. Murrow reveal the ferocity of this onslaught.
These episodes were meticulously edited to only show
McCarthy at his worst behavior, even picking his nose
at one point. The episodes never portrayed McCarthy as
calm or professional. This turned the public against him.
Later that year, the U.S. Senate censured McCarthy, and
he died of alcoholism three years later.
Operation Mockingbird also contributed to the downfall
of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmn in the CIA-orches-
trated 1954 Guatemalan coup dtat. The CIA prevented
American journalists not favored by the agency from
entering Guatemala during the overthrow. However,
the propaganda program began to unravel in the 1960s.
Dulles successor, John A. McCone, failed trying to censor
NBC from releasing a documentary on the CIA. As media
outlets became more competitive, they published reports
based on the hottest news tips, some of which inadver-
tently exposed the CIAs activities.
This trend continued well into the 1970s, hitting an
apex in 1976 when Senator Frank Churchs investigations
lead to the Final Report of the Select Committee to Study
Government Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activi-
ties, which stated, The CIA currently maintains a network
of several hundred foreign individuals around the world
who provide intelligence for the CIA and at times attempt
to inuence opinion through the use of covert propagan-
da. These individuals provide the CIA with direct access
to a large number of newspapers and periodicals, scores
of press services and news agencies, radio and television

stations, commercial book publishers, and other foreign
media outlets.
Then CIA Director George H.W. Bush stated that the CIA
would no longer pay or contract media correspondents for
cooperation with the agency. However, Jim Marrs, New
York Times best-selling author and award-winning journal-
ist, revealed during a lmed conversation with Alex Jones
that the CIA did not relinquish media control entirely.
Marrs used to work for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
which was then owned by Capital Cities Communications,
a nationwide publishing and radio broadcasting company,
also known as CapCities. He said that the newspapers em-
ployee newsletter contained a major article approving the
latest appointment by newly elected President Reagan.
They were so proud that Reagan had appointed Wil-
liam Casey as the head of the CIA, Marrs said. William
Casey was the majority stockholder and the guy that
controlled the company that owned the Star-Telegram
So my newspaper was controlled and owned by the head
of the CIA, and that was in the employee newsletter, but
never made the newspaper.
It is interesting to note that the 1983 Invasion of
Grenada occurred during Caseys tenure as CIA director.
The Reagan Administration launched the invasion of the
tiny Caribbean island under news management more
severe than the 1954 Guatemalan coup dtat. It was a
complete media blackout. American ofcials did not allow
reporters full access to the island until over three weeks
after the invasion. By then, military footage and eyewitness
accounts served as their only sources of information, which
was perhaps sanitized.
Immediately after the invasion, the Reagan Administra-
tion pushed for the CIAs exemption from responding to
Freedom of Information Act requests. It could very well be
that the media blackout hid covert CIA operations on the
island. Casey died in 1987 prior to testifying before Con-
gress on his knowledge of the Iran-Contra scandal.
Regardless of CIA control, mass media holds a strong
inuence on the population, keeping the public chained to
the claimed ofcial story. In reporting the shooting death
of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, the media used
a headshot of Martin at age 12, portraying him as a ba-
by-faced boy. Martin was 17 at the time of his death. The
media also used an older photo of a heavy-set Zimmerman.
Zimmerman lost a lot of weight prior to the shooting and
his mug shot taken that night reveals a much slimmer face.
The media-created contrast of a heavy-set man shoot-
ing a baby-faced kid to death could not be more clear
or more inaccurate. Undoubtedly, the lopsided photo
comparison fueled public rage against Zimmerman in
the days after the shooting.
A month later, NBC edited their own version of Zim-
mermans recorded 911 call. The network isolated and
rearranged segments of the recording into a completely
different order and played their version on the air. This al-
teration possibly made Zimmerman sound more predatory
and racist to the public.
Media control will continue as a method of mass ma-
nipulation, giving merely the illusion of truth through pro-
paganda disguised as knowledge. We are programmed to
grovel to self-serving authority gures, but by being aware
of the conditioning, you empower yourself as an individual
capable of independent thought. Engage yourself into the
revolution of mass awakening.

Congress Finally
Decides NSA
Surveillance
Violates the Law
AMERICA HAS NO
FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY
AT THIS MOMENT.
FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER
C
ongress has nally decided that
massive, unprecedented and
unwarranted surveillance of the
American people conducted by
the National Security Agency is
against the law. Members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee,
which has broad jurisdiction over maters related to feder-
al criminal law, arrived at the conclusion months after the
American people reached a similar conclusion.
We never, at any point in this debate, have approved
the type of unchecked, sweeping surveillance of United
States citizens employed by our government, said House
xture John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, during a
hearing on the NSA. If the government cannot provide a
clear, public explanation for how its program is consistent
with the statute, it must stop collecting this information
immediately.
Other committee members have promised to amend
the unconstitutional PATRIOT Act and force the NSA to
stop its surveillance. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, a
Wisconsin Republican and author of the original PATRIOT
Act, said it is not likely Congress will reauthorize the busi-
ness-records collection provision of the act when the law
expires in 2015.
FOURTH AMENDMENT, WHAT
FOURTH AMENDMENT?
James Cole, deputy attorney general at the De-
partment of Justice, insists the NSAs vacuum cleaner
approach to electronic surveillance does not violate the
Fourth Amendment. In 1979, Cole argues, the Supreme
Court ruled that telephone records are not private
information covered by the Fourth Amendment. Besides,
there is a special court for this sort of thing, the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court. It was approved by
Congress, so bureaucrats believe it is legal.
Congress originally created the FISA and a secret court
in response to embarrassing revelations uncovered by
the Church Committee investigating intelligence abuses.
FISAs special court is almost a parallel Supreme Court,
according to David B. Wells and John Wilson Wells, authors
of American National Security and Civil Liberties in an Era
of Terrorism.
Former President Jimmy Carter has come out against
NSA surveillance as well. He characterized Edward
Snowdens leak as benecial for the country. I think
that the secrecy that has been surrounding this invasion
of privacy has been excessive, so I think that the bringing
of it to the public notice has probably been, in the long
term, benecial, Carter said. America has no functioning
democracy at this moment, the former president also said
at a meeting in Atlanta, according to German news source
Der Spiegel.
Indeed, the United States does not have a functioning
democracy. There is plenty of evidence that national
elections are rigged and the two-party system which is
actually a one party system lorded over by a cabal of glo-
balist banksters and fascist corporatists has a monopoly
on political power. NSA surveillance is merely another tool
designed to guarantee they stay in power. But then again,
the United States is not supposed to be a democracy. It was
intended to be a constitutional republic.
