Excuse me! I had to get through the Plump Don-and-Hitlery (sic) smoke screen to get here. Cough-cough…
Colin Kaepernick’s sensational expanding protests receive drops of media coverage despite its importance while insignificant puppet clowns in the election circus draw floods; the msm in a nutshell. Sound and fury signifying nothing dance center stage with fireworks and smoke screens of diversion while major change whispers in the dimly lit background. Even then, when dealing with Kap, the angle makes it difficult to see and the focus is blurry. Count on a known Black sports figure heading the report telling us how Kap is damaging sports, insulting war veterans or disrespecting the nation.
”one of the unintended consequences of Kaepernick’s activism has been the following: Exposing some character flaws in America.” Kevin Patrick Kelly
”Unintended” consequences! What’s that all about? Kap is specifically exposing the nation, but never mentions ”character flaws.” He talks about justice and points to national hypocrisy. Murdering unarmed people (mostly, but not all, non-white) again and again and again is not a ”character flaw”.
The main story, the spreading protests all over the country, even at high school and college sporting events, gets mentioned in passing when mentioned at all. The ”experts” however try to hide this behind warped figures shown out of focus at a difficult angle. Polls show that “47 percent opposed the Quarterback’s protest, with just 32 percent supporting his decision to kneel during the National Anthem.”
”Just 32%!” JUST! 32% is sensational. Despite the media’s barrage of criticism and condemnation, one third of the people support oppostion to a ritual of the ruling order. Tens of millions of people are aware of the ”flaws” in the national bullshit.
Go Kap (and all your supporters running interference), go!
Notice the five people who stand in defiance (hands on hips, behind back or hanging). This form of protest lite, no traditional hand over the heart, is also spreading. Number 6 is conveniently cropped out of the picture, but his shadow reveals a fist, which also appears more and more during the National Anthem.

We tend to think of propaganda as current messages of disinformation. While these do pour down on us to deal with current circumstance, structures of propaganda occupy our cultural landscape influencing us over the years.
W.W.II propaganda meets us in pictures, books, films, games, speeches, schools and tourist attractions. The American Cemetery in France, for example, commemorating the D-day invasion at Omaha Beach, attracts over 1 million visitors a year … to honor the heroic sacrifice of the thousands who died fighting for freedom. Most of those who died however, despite their heroism, were not sacrificed for freedom, but the political interests of a handful of boardroom commanders who were in a great hurry. The Soviets had broken the back of the German war machine and were well on their way to dominating the victory. The Yanks could have established a presence on the mainland of Europe in many ways that didn’t cost so many lives, but the military command was concerned with getting it done quickly regardless of the human costs. It didn’t cost their lives. The soldiers died for the freedom of a money-oriented society to dominate the world and eventually hire the grandchildren of the soldiers to work for wages they couldn’t survive on.
The main type of propaganda about the war against Japan goes under the title of Silence. It’s impossible to silence the sound of A-bombs wiping out a couple of cites, so we are told that it was necessary to save lives. Regardless of top American military officers confirming that the bombings weren’t necessary, the question of the atomic-class racism justifying the nuclear inferno can’t be heard. Why was it necessary to kill a couple of hundred thousand Japanese civilians in order to save a few American soldiers’ lives? Because the civilians were bad-guys and the yank soldiers good-guys? Tell it to Jesus! Or Buddha!
But it’s not this silence I’m referring to. Conventional bombings had already killed more people in Tokyo and other major cities with fire/napalm bombs before the A-bomb attacks. The fire bombings were at least as horrific as Hiroshima and Nagasaki though not nearly as spectacular. We don’t hear about this carnage despite 20 times more bodies than those that littered Omaha Beach. Yet even this silence roars compared to the silent propaganda concealing the nature of the ”heroes” of the war. After the atomic bombs rocked the world with its awesome power and Japan agreed to total capitulation, over 1000 planes bombed targets up and down the coast of Japan slaughtering civilians all along the way. This wholesale butchery occurred after Japan’s verbal surrender, but before its formal surrender. The ”good-guys” murdered 10s of 1000s of people because … because … they could … and they wanted to.
The cold-blooded psychopaths who filled rivers with blood are included in the category of war heroes. They are bricks in the structures of propaganda informing us about of the wonderful character of the troops of the exceptional nation.

The previous post about the signs of the approaching war mentioned nothing about why. Oil? That’s the reason the entire Middle East is already ablaze, but the inevitable big one, WW3, stems from a more basic cause. Money.
The USA is broke. Technically. Its debt now exceeds its GDP, Gross Domestic Product. It owes more than it earns. It owes about $19 000 000 000 000, a ratio of 102% to the GDP. Such figures are always approximations, but even if a few $100 million are cut or added the picture doesn’t vary. The USA is broke. Compare the 102% to China’s less than 5% and Russia under 19%.
The US gets away with this by printing money AND forcing the world to buy and trade energy resources (mostly oil) in dollars, and dollars only. As long as dollars dominate the global market, USA can dominate the world. A few countries such as Saddam’s Iraq and Gaddafi’s Libya tried to abandon the $-basis for dealing in oil. Boom! That cannot be tolerated by the American rulers. Boom, boom! Abandoning the dollar destroys the foundation upon which they operate and dominate in spite of enormous debt in worthless paper money.
China and Russia have well advanced plans to abandon the dollar-basis of trade. This cannot be tolerated by the American rulers. They regard abandoning the dollar as a declaration of war. If allowed, the dollar deflates as does their strength and domination. They have no choice but to go to war. It’s not going to solve their problems, but they have to try. Humanity? They haven’t considered the needs of humanity in the past, why would they start considering them now when their own existence is at stake?
Boom, boom and (likely) nuclear BOOM!
Can this coming war be avoided? Probably not, but I’ll deal with the possibilities, despite their unlikeliness, in the next post — if I get enough comments to this one.

The media has been pounding us with election coverage for over a year. What are they trying to tell us. Nothing commands the media spotlight for this length of time unless the powers-that-be want it there. Connect the election circus to the second major media theme about Russia being a threat because of bad guy Putin and the message comes across clearly. We are going to war.
”We” are going to war. The people can choose to have Crazy Clinton or Terrible Trump on the war logo, but war it shall be. No other choice is available. One of the weirdo candidates will be blamed for making the decision, but once the war starts the people can be counted on to rally round the stars-and-stripes. It’s the same old ”For King and Fosterland”, but it works.
The US predictably demonizes the leaders who they are about to attack. Not because they are particularly bad, but because they must appear to be to justify the war. Gaddafi, who was portrayed as The Devil of the Day, was a saint compared to the White House vicious pet Netanyahu. Assad, another enemy, comes across as evil personified, but he’s far better than a lot of the scum floating in political waters around Washington, and compared to the leaders of Saudi Arabia butchering the poor people of Yemen with US support and weapons, he’s an honorable statesman.
The US can work with the major monsters in the world without spending a single negative word on them. Try to find an American, for example, who can name any leader of the head-chopping, women-suppressing and slaughtering Saudis. Those who don’t submit to the dictates of USA or threaten the economic interests of the giga-wealthy will be demonized and it wouldn’t matter if they were a modern day Jesus, Mohammed or Buddha.
”We” are going to war.

Adam tosses the apple (top/middle) and kisses Eve. The snake slithers away.
This story was told for hundreds of years in many different cultures before it got written down in the Bible. Our ancestors were trying to tell us something.
The highest and ruling authority promised to protect the people, a man and a woman, as long as they remained ignorant. The fruit of knowledge was forbidden.
A lowly creature convinced the woman to try a taste of knowledge and she got Adam to take a bite. Their first thoughts must have been sexy because they immediately tried to cover their nakedness. Their second thoughts made them run out of the garden to explore their first thoughts.
The authority was angry to be disobeyed and to lose their ignorant loyalty. He screamed after them about all the bad stuff life had in store for them, but they were already gone. He never mentioned the good stuff, but they were exploring one of them and would rather eat a snake than return.
There are millions of Adams & Eves in today’s world. They lead deadly boring lives spiced with meaningless entertainment. Their boredom is both guaranteed and protected by the ruling authorities who can count on their obedience as long as they remain ignorant. Their junk diet contains no fruits of knowledge and the snakes are too busy feasting on rats to bother talking to them.
Luckily, even snakes get bored.

A candidate made a speech the other day, and, like all other government officials and would-be officials, stated emphatically that ”We Are For Freedom” (hereafter referred to as WAFF.)
WAFF appears to be an obligatory phrase. What else are they to say, We serve corporate demands for profit and control? Surely you didn’t expect them to inject truth into WAFF and say:
We invaded Iraq, killed over one million people, destroyed the home of four million, spread hatred and baby-deforming radiation because WAFF.
We invaded Afghanistan and have been killing the people there for over 15 years because WAFF.
We destroyed Libya and continue to bomb and kill there because WAFF.
We are devastating Syria because WAFF.
We are supplying and supporting our good friends the Saudis while they massacre the people of Yemen because WAFF.
We have always and will continue to support and pamper our vicious jackal on a leash (Israeli) in its attempt to annihilate the Palestinians because WAFF.
We fill our private prisons with poor people (mostly of color) and treat them as slave because WAFF.
We don’t pay our workers enough to survive because WAFF.
We continue to impoverish just about everyone, everywhere in order to pour more money into the bulging bank accounts of our wealthiest citizens because WAFF.

Quoting from the future
U.S.News quoted from an interview that appeared in USA TODAY 7 minutes later.
How could they quote from something that hadn’t appeared yet? Search Alex Boone comments or Alex Boone, Kaepernick and witness 100s? of news reports that spun the same theme at about the same time.
This is obviously a military psyop.
Here’s the entire blurb by Hayley Hoefer, Opinion Intern (Note that title, I’ll get back to it.)
———–
In an interview with USA TODAY Sports, Minnesota Vikings guard Alex Boone rebuked his former teammate for the message that he sent to the American military. “It’s hard for me, because my brother was a Marine, and he lost a lot of friends over there,” Boone said. “That flag obviously gives (Kaepernick) the right to do whatever he wants. I understand it. At the same time, you should have some (expletive) respect for people who served, especially people that lost their life to protect our freedom.”
U.S.News
————
Alex criticizes Kap for ”the message that he sent to the American military.”
Kap said nothing about the American military, not even indirectly.
Alex has a Marine brother ”over there”.
Where’s that?
The article pounds away at the military aspect.
”… you (Kap and the rest of us) should … respect … people who served (in the military), especially people that lost their life to protect our freedom.”
Did people lose their lives to protect our freedom? What kind of freedom do we have without privacy, when government/military surveillance keeps track of everything we say on a phone or write on a computer and tracks where we go and what we buy? No privacy, no freedom. Got that? No privacy = no freedom.
The people who don’t understand that believe it’s unpatriotic not to honor the troops fighting, killing and dying to maintain corporate profits. ”What’s good for business is worth killing and dying for.” Show some respect!
Hayley Hoefer is an Intern, that is to say, he works with no pay. He has the freedom to work for free. If the newspaper likes his ”opinions” they might, Might, hire him with a salary. Internships used to come with a salary, but since people have been killing and dying for our freedoms, interns now work for free and a promise of a possible job. Hayley’s parents are probably supporting him to work for a ”good” corporation so that he doesn’t have to work for a junk corporation that doesn’t pay enough to survive on. He’d still be living at home. That’s the freedom they’re talking about, Dorothy, the freedom to maximize corporate profits.

Two gravestones sit at the back of a little cemetery. They’re taller than the others, different from one another in color and form, and worthless. Despite their impressive weight and height they don’t perform their basic task. We cannot see who is buried beneath them or when. They are devoid of information, functionally worthless.
These gravestones remind me of the two lies that bury the facts of the explosives events that occurred 15 years ago today. The one lie is the official story of what happened. The other one is the guardian of the first, the mainstream media that covers the truth like moss on a (grave)stone.
Nearly 3000 scientists and professional technical investigators have proven that the official story stands in opposition to the laws of physics. Fire, even one initiated by exploding jet fuel, cannot cause steel-framed buildings to fall the way the Twin Towers in NYC did. It is physically impossible. The scientists also stated that controlled demolition is the only explanation for the collapsing pattern of the tumbling skyscrapers.
If the scientists are correct, the guardians of the official story, the mainstream media, must stand in opposition to journalistic principles and integrity. The many and great towers of information do not inform. Any highschool graduate with access to the internet can discover the lies in the official story of the greatest and most significant crime of this generation. The prestigeous and professional news channels however cannot.
Millions of people believe the official fairytale about what happened. They have the mainstream media to thank for their indoctrination and delusion. Many millions can see that the rulers are naked inspite of the assurrances of the tailors of news. These people can thank their healthy scepticism and unfettered mind.
I wonder what a monument over the death of the two great lies will look like?

Young Miss Nobody died in 1919
on the 21st of June.
She wasn’t even 16
The Nobodys said, “Much too soon.”
Many Nobodys died in 1919
on every day of the year.
Some were kind, some were mean,
Nobodys said, “Oh dear, oh dear.”
Nobodys have died since time began,
hardly noticed as when they came.
History eats them quick as it can
And nobody remembers Nobody’s name.
