Read it all. And fear your government------Americans Are Finally Learning About False Flag Terror

Americans Are Finally Learning About False Flag Terror | Zero Hedge

So Common … There’s a Name for It

This tactic is so common that it was given a name for hundreds of years ago.

“False flag terrorism” is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy’s strategy of tension.

The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy’s flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a “false flag” attack.

Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks.

Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags

Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:

“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”
- Plato

“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
- U.S. President James Madison

“A history of false flag attacks used to manipulate the minds of the people! “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.”
? Friedrich Nietzsche

“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
- Adolph Hitler

“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
- Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.

“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened”.
- Josef Stalin

People Are Waking Up to False Flags

People are slowly waking up to this whole con job by governments who want to justify war.

Imagine if Oswald and Sirhan were Tea Party Americans? -----Speaking of the Kennedy Assassination

Speaking of the Kennedy Assassination | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy:
Speaking of the Kennedy Assassination

by David Bernstein on November 23, 2013 8:27 pm in Media

While fifty years later, much of the MSM still refuses to acknowledge that JFK’s assassin was a Communist loser, somehow it’s also apparently not cricket to point out that his brother RFK was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist.

So let’s review.
Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian refugee with Jordanian citizenship.
He murdered Kennedy because the latter promised to send advanced fighter planes to Israel.
The PLO terrorist group Black September demanded his release in exchange for hostages in
 1973, recognizing that he was “one of theirs.”

Yet of 5755 hits for “Sirhan Sirhan” in the ALLNEWS database on Westlaw, only four of them refer to him as a “Palestinian terrorist” or “Palestinian extremist;” three of these sources are the Jerusalem Post, and one is the New York Jewish Week. In mainstream publications, you actually get phrases like this, “Black September terrorists who kidnapped the Western diplomats in a failed plot to free Palestinian terrorists in European jails and Sirhan Sirhan, the killer of Robert F. Kennedy,” as if Sirhan Sirhan, a terrorist and a Palestinian, on the same “trade of for hostages list” as other Palestinian terrorists, was somehow not a “Palestinian terrorist.” An even better one, from the Huffington Post: “[RFK] was gunned down in a hotel kitchen by a 24-year-old Palestinian whose motives have never been determined.” (Ironically, sources from the Arab world (e.g.,) seem more likely to acknowledge the real dynamic, though with the message that the U.S. and assumedly RFK got what was coming to it and him for supporting Israel).

We are hiring federal workers to tell citizens to cheat the government-----Obamacare Navigator Fraud Rampant, Not "Isolated Incident"

Obamacare Navigator Fraud Rampant, Not "Isolated Incident" - YouTube: ""
If you earn cash on the side, do not tell the government—that’s what multiple Obamacare navigators are saying in Texas.
James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released a second video exposing more Obamacare navigators who encouraged undercover investigators to lie and hide income when applying for Obamacare.
“I have two jobs. One is part time and the other is part time but I don’t claim the income, so how does that work?” a Project Veritas investigator asked an Obamacare navigator.
“Nora,” an Obamacare navigator at Community Health Centers of South Central Texas, said, “If you don’t claim the income then you don’t have to.”
A second navigator advised an undercover investigator to get her income as low as possible before reporting it.
“I like went on to the calculator thing online and it said I qualify for these things,” the investigator said. “But then if you add my additional income, I do like every Friday, Saturday, Sunday I nanny for a family and it makes, I make substantial extra income from that, that put me over.”
The navigator, Kris McCray from Change Happens located in Houston, Texas, said, “Well see I don’t know if you have to report all that stuff. I think they’re going to go off on where you file for your taxes. So stuff like that, to get a lower premium, I wouldn’t include in it.”
McCray continued, “If I was cutting grass on the weekends, and they were just giving me money, that’s my money.”
“I would just try to get the number as low as you can. It would help you qualify you for more stuff as far as aid and stuff like that,” he said to the investigator.
Watch the video to see more and hear a navigator explain that he hasn’t been able to sign anybody up for Obamacare.

They are NOT our friends----Chinese Aggressiveness in Asia

Chinese Aggressiveness in Asia - Ricochet.com:

There is trouble on the horizon, and before long it may turn into very big trouble.

In late August, I wrote at length about China's resolute turn back to despotism; about its vehement public repudiation of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and freedom of the press; and about the manner in which Chinese communist cadres are now expected to read Alexis de Tocqueville's classic The Ancien Regime and the Revolution as a warning against a relaxation of party discipline.

There is another dimension to what is going on in China, and it dovetails neatly with the first. In and for a long time after the time of Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese talked softly while carrying a big stick. Deng and his immediate successors understood that the rise of China would elicit anxiety on the part of the Japanese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Taiwanese, and the Filipinos, and they did what they could to allay that anxiety by refraining from doing anything that would suggest on their part aggressive intent.

In the last couple of years,  however, all of that has changed; and everywhere where one goes in Asia, an old friend who travels in high circles told me earlier this week, one senses hostility -- not towards the United States but towards one's neighbors. The anger underlying all of this has been stirred by the Chinese, who have been throwing their weight around with ever greater force.

This weekend the Chinese upped the ante. In the South China Sea, between Korea and Taiwan, there are some uninhabited islands, which are called the Senkaku isles by the Japanese and the Diayu isles by the Chinese. Although there are other claimants, these have been controlled for many decades by the Japanese. This weekend, however, China extended its air-defence zone to include the islands:

Dear MoveOn member,
I'm Jim Frost, a MoveOn member in Reston, Virginia, and I started a petition to Congress and President Barack Obama, which says:

The Affordable Care Act is a good thing. Defend it for the sake of the majority!

Why are we so fixated on 4 million insured people who may lose their current and mostly sub-standard health insurance policies and ignoring the fact that 48 million people who have never had health insurance will finally be able to buy health insurance?

The 4 million insured have had the ability to purchase insurance all along. 

Now, due to circumstances beyond their control, including the greed of insurance companies, they could potentially lose their current policy. 
But they still have the option to get another plan.

The 48 million people that have never had coverage would not be able to get any health insurance coverage if it were not for the Affordable Care Act. End of story!

Tell your lawmakers to stop putting politics ahead of the needs of the majority—that is not the way a democracy is supposed to work.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!

MoveOn members around the country have gone all-in to save Obamacare. As part of that big campaign, Jim Frost started this petition urging Congress and President Obama to defend the Affordable Care Act.

Killing The "We Paid Our Taxes; We Earned Our Benefits" Social Security Ponzi Meme | Zero Hedge

Killing The "We Paid Our Taxes; We Earned Our Benefits" Social Security Ponzi Meme | Zero Hedge

One recent study of lifetime payroll taxes and benefits comes from the Urban Institute. For Medicare, they calculated that (in 2012 dollars) an average-wage-earning male would get $180,000 in benefits, but pay only $61,000 in taxes — “earning” only about one-third of benefits received. A similarly situated female does even better. The cumulative “excess” benefits equal $105 trillion, with net benefits increasing over time.

...In fact, perhaps the best description of the current Social Security and Medicare situation comes from Henry Hazlitt, long ago, in Economics in One Lesson:

Today is already the tomorrow which the bad economist yesterday urged us to ignore. The long-run consequences of some economic policies may become evident in a few months. Others may not become evident for several years. Still others may not become evident for decades. But in every case those long-run consequences are contained in the policy as surely as the hen was in the egg, the flower in the seed.

Social Security and Medicare’s generational high-jacking has become “the third rail of politics” in large part because seniors want to believe that they paid their own way. 

But they have not. 

They have only paid for part of what they have gotten. 

The rest has indeed been a Ponzi scheme. 

And as Social Security is already revealing, the future cannot be put off forever, however much wishful thinking is involved. 

Some are already being forced to confront the exploding pot of IOUs involved, and it will get much worse.

I STILL can't "Enroll", yet I'm counted as one who "has chosen his plan". Mr. President, tear down this website!

Turning the trench-like interstate that runs from I-75 near Gratiot south to Jefferson Avenue into a surface street would make for easier connections between residential areas on the east side and central downtown.
Creating that walkable ambiance would come at the cost of high-speed connections on I-375 that suburbanites take to reach the Renaissance Center, Cobo Center and other downtown destinations."

Is Barack Mentally Malnourished? A Reasonable Explanation for Obama’s Mind
Would it really be so strange if an individual of high office, yet low achievement were driven by small ideas and an incipient laziness - which were somehow obscured by his position? 
In fact, it seems Barack has an allergy to deep thinking, the work of deep study, and in-depth analysis. 
This would help explain his apparent ignorance regarding the failed ObamaCare website, and virtually all of his other failures. 
According to this theory, it is not the times being too difficult which tripped up Barack, but his being too small in confronting the tasks which resulted in his overwhelming failure as commander in chief. 
Consider the following argument.

Attitudes Towards Handgun Bans

Attitudes Towards Handgun Bans | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy:
"The lines indicate the responses to a Gallup survey, which asked “What about the possession of pistols and revolvers — do you think there should be a law which would forbid possession of this type of gun except by the police or other authorized person?” (or, since 1980, “Do you think there should or should not be a law that would ban the possession of handguns, except by the police or other authorized persons?”). The green line shows the “Yes” responses from 1959 to 2013, and the red line shows the “No” responses.

The change, of course, is striking, and hard to explain with any one answer. Increases in crime rates might be part of the reason for the change, but since the early 1990s crime rates have declined.
America’s historical connection to the West and to the Revolutionary era is often cited to explain views about guns, but of course that history was as present in 1959 as now. "

Senator: Sports Stadiums 'at Risk from...Sea-Level Rise Effects of Climate Change' | CNS News

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) warns sports stadiums are at risk from the "sea level rise effects of climate change," and that climate change specifically threatens hockey and skiing.

"We see significant sports facilities, the palaces of - of sport that are at risk from the storm, climate, sea-level rise effects of climate change," Sen. Whitehouse said today following a closed-door climate discussion with executives from the NFL, NHL and NBA.

He said the threat to hockey is that people will no longer be able to play outdoors on frozen ponds:

"Without cold enough weather for frozen ponds, the kind of hockey that you play out of doors with your friends gets a little bit harder to achieve."

Whitehouse also suggested climate change will prevent his family from continuing to go skiing in Rhode Island:

"I took my kids skiing at Yawgoo Valley ski slopes in Rhode Island. The New York Times recently reported that we can expect all the ski slopes in Connecticut and Massachusetts to be gone.

"Obviously, given Rhode Island's location, if that's true of Connecticut and Massachusetts, that will also be unfortunately true of Rhode Island."

The senator is no stranger to such Chicken Little scare tactics. In May 2013, Whitehouse blamed Republican inaction on climate change for deadly tornados in Oklahoma.

"The story of the video     ----    Video put together by Matt Harding & Melissa Nixon I believe for Stride chewing gum

Matt is a 37-year-old deadbeat from Westport, Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. He got lucky, landing a job as a game designer in Los Angeles at a young age, and figured he had everything pretty much figured out.

At 23, he moved to Brisbane, Australia, where it's a pretty typical thing for people to take off and travel the planet for a while before settling down. He thought that sounded amazing, and was also starting to realize that maybe videogames weren't the only thing that mattered. So in early 2003, he quit his job to go wandering around Southeast Asia until the money ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he was.

A few months into his trip, he and his friend, Brad Welch, were taking pictures on the streets of Hanoi when Brad said "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do your stupid dance. I'll record it." Matt did it, and he thought it looked pretty funny, so he kept on doing it everywhere he went.

That turned out to be a very good idea.

He put the video of his dancing adventures on his blog (back then people had things called "blogs"), and then in 2005 he found it on a new site called YouTube, where some kid had uploaded it, pretending to be him, and like a million people had already watched it. The kid was collecting donations and apparently got about $200 out of it. Good for him.

Matt briefly got micro-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not him. The other guy. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."

In the midst of all that, Matt got an email from a chewing gum company called Stride. They asked if he'd be interested in making another dancing video for them. He asked if they'd pay for it. They said, "Yeah." He asked if he could go wherever he wanted. They said, "Pretty much." So he said, "Sure!"

That actually happened.

He made the video, and he got to bring his girlfriend, Melissa, with him to film it. It was awesome. And people liked it. The second video made Matt even more micro-famous, transitioning briefly into quasi-famous.

He mostly just danced in front of iconic landmarks, but along the way he went to a country called Rwanda, and since there aren't any landmarks in Rwanda that you'd want to dance in front of, instead he just went to a small village and danced with a bunch of kids. The kids joined him immediately and without hesitation. That ended up being the best thing that happened to him on the trip. The kids taught him that people are a whole lot more interesting than old landmarks and monuments.

Matt went back to Stride and told them he did it all wrong and they needed to send him around the planet again. They said, "Okay," and in 2008 he put out another video that showed thousands of people laughing, smiling, and goofing around together. It took him five years and three tries, but he finally got it right that time."

The Michigan connection---JFK's autopsy was botched, says famed metro Detroit pathologist who helped investigate

JFK's autopsy was botched, says famed metro Detroit pathologist who helped investigate | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Spitz said he had some benefits over others who speculate and construe scenarios.
He saw the pictures of the president during the autopsy, and he talked with Dr. James Humes, one of the people who performed the autopsy and later worked at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit.

He said Humes cried when he talked about the mistakes that he made during the autopsy.
For example, Spitz said, Humes threw papers containing notes from the autopsy and Kennedy’s blood into a fireplace at his home.
The blood had been on his gloves and was transferred to the papers.

When asked how the Kennedy case ranks among all of the cases in his lengthy career, he had a simple answer.

“When people are on the autopsy table, they are all the same,” he said."

My gosh, how this is almost EXACTLY the same bluster, lies, threats and delay that Hitler so successfully used in the 1930s..........Iran's leader backs nuke talks, with conditions

My Way News - Iran's leader backs nuke talks, with conditions

GENEVA (AP) - Iran's supreme leader voiced support Wednesday for the negotiations over his country's nuclear program, but insisted there are limits to the concessions Iran will make in exchange for an easing of the sanctions choking its economy.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also blasted Israel as being "the rabid dog" of the region, bent on besmirching Iran's reputation....

Khamenei, speaking before a paramilitary group in Tehran, aimed to placate hardliners and show his backing for the Iranian officials preparing to meet with international negotiators.

Vallaud-Belkacem told reporters in Paris that Hollande's Cabinet discussed Iran just hours before the nuclear talks were set to resume. Despite Hollande's displeasure over Khamenei's criticism of Israel, she said France still hopes for a deal and its position has not changed in the talks.

Western diplomats reported progress during a previous round of talks in Geneva. They now hope to reach an accord that would halt Iran's nuclear efforts while negotiators pursue a more comprehensive agreement that would ensure that Tehran's nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes. Iran would get some sanctions relief under such a first-step deal, without any easing of the most harsh measures - those crippling Iran's ability to sell oil, its main revenue maker.

Iran has suggested it could curb its highest-known level of uranium enrichment - at 20 percent - in a possible deal that could ease the U.S.-led economic sanctions.

But Iranian leaders have made clear that their country will not consider giving up its ability to make nuclear fuel - the centerpiece of the talks since the same process used to make reactor stock can be used to make weapons-grade material.

Khamenei said he would not "interfere in the details of the talks," - a clear nod of support for the government of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, which has opened historic exchanges with the U.S. However, Khamenei also said the main goal of the talks is the "stabilization of the rights of the Iranian nation, including nuclear rights."

"There are red lines. There are limits. These limits must be observed," the supreme leader told the Basij force, which is controlled by Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard. "We have told the authorities, and they are required to observe the limits and should not fear the blusters of the enemies and opponents."

Khamenei also blasted what he called the U.S. government's "warmongering" policies, including threats of military action, and he said sanctions cannot force unwanted concessions by Iran. At the same time, Khamenei said his country has "no animosity"' toward the American people and seeks "friendly" relations.

"Instead of using threats, go and repair your devastated economy so that your government is not shut down for 15 or 16 days," he said, referring to the recent U.S. government closure amid a congressional budget standoff. "Go and pay your debts."

His complex message reflected Iran's internal divisions over the nuclear talks and outreach to the United States, which broke ties with Iran after hostage-takers stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Tehran in 1979 the wake of the Islamic Revolution.

President Barack Obama also faces opposition to a deal from Israel, Saudi Arabia and critics in the U.S. Congress, who say an first-step deal would give Iran too much in the way of sanctions relief for too little concessions. They also argue that Iran can't be trusted.

Obama and his national security team have countered that the risk is worth taking because the alternative is war no one wants.

On Wednesday, delegations arrived in Geneva for internal consultations ahead of a full round of talks between Iran and six nations: the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
