Growing up in the 1960’s, I can still remember hearing and reading
about Russian propaganda. While I am certain some of what the Western
press reported was “spun”, even a 10 year old could see through much of
what Russia was trying to portray to its people.
Fast forward to present day, we seem to have switched places. The current mainstream media reports defy nearly any and all logic on a daily basis. Reporting has obviously been very poor for many years and it really did not matter what the subject was. Economics, finance, geopolitics, home grown politics, it has not mattered, logic has been turned on its head. I could go through example after example but would now require a book …or more likely a “series” of books. Using just one example to illustrate the lunacy, the U.S. now has 95 million OUT OF THE WORKFORCE and thus no longer counted as “unemployed”! Where is the logic here? Mainstream media reports it (under their breath) while cheerleading the lowest unemployment rate in decades. The White House and Wall Street both report “strong” employment with glee. The fact remains, our true unemployment number as calculated back in the day of “Russian propaganda” is somewhere around 20%.

Facebook market shares decline over past weeks
The world’s fifth-richest person, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, worth an estimated $49B, has seen a sharp decline in corporate finances over the past 27 days, after announcing that he may censor whatever he deems to be ‘fake news’ from his massive social media platform.
Zuckerberg has lost $3.7B since Nov. 8, which amounts to about a “7% decline in Facebook’s share price,” according to Forbes.
This comes after an assistant college professor by the name of Milissa Zimdars and the mainstream media attacked Intellihub.com, Infowars.com and Breitbart.com by labeling the trio of sucessful independent websites ‘fake news,’ despite the fact the mainstream media has lost almost all of its credibility amongst the general public.

When Obama leaves the oval office in January and hands over the US
presidency to Trump he will leave behind a troubling legacy. In a number
of different ways he has betrayed those he was supposed to serve, the
American people. Whether it has been through his involvement in
healthcare or running up a serious national debt to the tune of over 20 trillion dollars, or the climate change scam, rising mass poverty and unemployment, homelessness, etc., he will affect many Americans for generations to come.
Taking the case of health as an example, he will leave behind the consequences of his involvement in a seriously failing healthcare system that has done far more harm than good. Some have argued, quite justifiably, that Obama’s involvement in the US healthcare (sick care) system has been deliberately set up to fail due to a number of reasons, which will be explained.

Preparing and Survival for the most part may be broken down into
“Time-Lines”. These concepts have been written about in many articles
and seemingly are explained very simply.
My attempt here is to expand on those concepts and to add a few more “Time-Lines” to think about.
1. 3 Nano-Seconds to think
2. 3 Seconds to react
3. 3 Minutes without Air
4. 3 Hours without Shelter
5. 3 Days without Water
6. 3 Weeks without Food
7. 3 Years without Rebuilding

In a long-awaited victory for the Stan
ding Rock Sioux Tribe, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has denied a permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline, tribal leadership announced late Sunday.
The agency will not allow the pipeline to be built under Lake Oahe, a reservoir near the tribal reservation, without a full environmental impact assessment that examines alternative routes for the pipeline.
While acknowledging that it may only end up being a temporary pause in pipeline construction, many see it as an incredible victory for the water protectors, who have faced water cannons, mace, rubber bullets, mass arrests, and more in their months-long struggle to protect their drinking water and treaty land.

Stinnett conclusively demonstrates with vast and incontrovertible
documentary evidence that in order to precipitate an unwilling American
public into supporting intervention in the Second World War, President
Roosevelt oversaw the contrivance and deployment of a closely-guarded
secret plot to goad the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor. The plan
was set in motion in October 1940, and its development closely monitored
through decoded intercepts of Japanese diplomatic and military radio
communications. Knowledge of the plan was limited to 13 Roosevelt
administration members and chief military officers, and 21 members of
Naval Intelligence and related operations. Once it produced the intended
result and the attack impended, the Pacific fleet’s modern naval
vessels were sent to sea from Pearl Harbor, leaving seven antiquated
World War One battleships as decoys. Meanwhile, the Japanese fleet was
tracked with radio intercepts from its formation off the Kuril Islands
on November 16, and its sailing for Hawaii on November 26; its course
was cleared of all shipping with a Vacant Sea order on the 22nd; and
Pearl Harbor naval patrols were ordered out of the area on the 25th.
Intelligence of the impending attack was withheld from the officers
(Admiral Kimmel and General Short) charged with defending Pearl Harbor,
who were kept uninformed of the plan and intelligence of the impending
attack, and scape-goated afterward.

Italian voters have embraced the global trend of rejecting the
established world order, but the “no” vote on Sunday has plunged global
financial markets into a state of utter chaos. The euro has already
fallen to a 20 month low, Italian government bonds are poised for a
tremendous crash, and futures markets are indicating that both U.S. and
European stock markets will be way down when they open on Monday. It is
being projected that Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s referendum
on constitutional reforms will be defeated by about 20 percentage points
when all the votes have been counted, and Renzi has already announced
that he plans to resign as a result. When new elections are held it
looks like comedian Beppe Grillo’s Five-Star movement will come to
power, and the European establishment is extremely alarmed at that
prospect because Grillo wants to take Italy out of the eurozone. In the
long run Italy would be much better off without the euro, but in the
short-term the only thing propping up Italy’s failing banking system is
support from Europe. Without that support, the 8th largest economy on
the entire planet would already be in the midst of an unprecedented
financial crisis.

This surprises almost everyone… You don’t own the money in your bank account.
Once you deposit money at the bank, it’s no longer your property. It’s the bank’s.
What you own is a promise from the bank to repay you. It’s an unsecured liability. Technically, you’re a creditor of the bank. And that means a bank bail-in would probably burn you.

I risked losing my fellow anti-establishment readers with the
suggestion that Trump may be an establishment Trojan horse. After seeing
Trump choose Pence as VP and a Goldman Sachs exec as campaign finance
manager, I was concerned the establishment knew a citizen’s revolt was
brewing and made sure that even the road to revolt led back to Rome. Now
that we are seeing Trump make actual decisions, we can test that
hypothesis.
Trump’s INSTANT reversal on major campaign promises
Trump has not simply backed off on some of his campaign promises, but has backed away from the promises that seemed to fire up his supporters the most. That he scaled the wall across the Mexican border down to a wall in some places and mere fences in others is, frankly, less significant than the main-stream media is playing it to be. If the border patrol thinks a fence will do as well as a wall in some places, why spend more money on a wall? Scaling down the wall could just be Trump, the pragmatist, applying common sense as he listens to the border patrol about their needs and seeks the most cost-effective solution. Trump is a pragmatist.
