The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription


IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Subject: Raccoons
I don't know who wrote this, but it is super-fantastic!  This is WHY Trump has such a following.
 
Many have asked me if I support the republican party?
Here is a letter someone sent to the RNC… You be the judge…
 
https://naturalunseenhazards.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/raccoons.jpg
 
 
Dear Representative,
 
From the time I was able to vote I voted republican. I am 80 and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of senior ball players who also network with thousands of others around the country. 
 
I received your questionnaire and request for money and strongly agree with every question as I have since Obama was elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is “What has the republicans done for the American people?” We gave you a majority in the house and senate and you never listened to us. Now you want our money. 
 
You should be more concerned about our votes not our money. You are the establishment which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets… Well guess what? “It’s not going to happen” You can shake in your boots when I tell you our movement is for TRUMP and he hasn’t asked for a dime.
 
You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self destruct course but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses.  Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in a state of New York. 
 
If you really want to know how the majority of people feel? And this applies to both democrats and republicans, read below, it says it all.
 
Sincerely,
 
http://www.christymarx.com/moggy/raccoons5.jpg
 
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately… You call the city, 4 different exterminators but nobody could handle the job… But there is this one guy and he guarantees you to get rid of them, so you hire him. You don't care if the guy smells, you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has plumber's crack...you simply want those raccoons gone!  You want your problem fixed!  He's the guy. He's the best. Period 
 
 
Here’s why we want Trump, yes he's a bit of an ass, yes he's an egomaniac, but we don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist. This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED" and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.  We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but doesn't have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician,  he's not a cowardly politician. And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.
 
Also we don't care if the guy has bad hair.  
 
 We just want those raccoons gone.  
 
Out of your house.  
 
NOW.

66 year old grandma wins battle against home invader!


After 66-Year-Old Woman Furiously Wrestles Home Invader, She Grabs Something That Gives Her the Upper Hand



A 66-year-old woman from Morgan County, Indiana, won a scuffle with a robber who entered her home on Wednesday afternoon after she reached for her handgun and scared him away.

Karen Long, 66, told local deputies that she was in her home with her sick 7-year-old nephew when she saw a masked man walking towards her front door, according to WXIN-TV. Acting quickly, Long lunged for her door in an attempt to lock it, but she was too late.

“He yanked it out of my hand and he bulldogged me in,” Long told WXIN. “He shoved me, I stumbled and fell there, and then he started down the hall. My little nephew is there and that’s when I attacked him. I jumped on his back, he and I went down to the floor again."

As the struggle ensued between Long and the robber, she said that she never backed down and refused to let her age get in the way.

“I am 66, a lot of people consider that elderly but that’s the new 40,” Long said, WXIN reported. “I don’t believe in being a victim."

While Long and the man wrestled on the floor, she said that she could hear her nephew crying.

“[The robber] kept saying ‘Don’t look at me, don’t look at me. Just give me your money and don’t look at me and you won’t get hurt,’” Long said.

When the masked man attempted to tie her to a table, Long knew she needed to do something more to protect her home, her nephew and herself from the intruder.

That’s when she remembered her handgun.


“I had my gun up there and I reached for it and he heard me rack it,” Long told WXIN. “I was saying a few choice words at him, let me tell you. I did tell him, ‘you picked the wrong house buddy.’”

The robber took off seconds after she grabbed her gun. Although she sustained some bruising, Long told WXIN that she and her nephew are both fine, adding that she had one final message for the robber.  “They come back to this house they will not walk away,” Long threatened.

Although the masked intruder made off with some small belongings, Long believes that with the help of her community and a $1,000 reward for any leads, the police will catch him and the robber will be brought to justice soon.

Yellowstone has been struck by a noteworthy M4.0 earthquake


YELLOWSTONE HAS BEEN STRUCK
BY A NOTEWORTHY 4.0 EARTHQUAKE








Yellowstone has been struck by a noteworthy M4.0 earthquake and the super-fracture location in Oklahoma has shown renewed movement…. the fracking operation was also struck by a M4.0.

Both M4.0 earthquakes occurred within hours of each other.

First Yellowstone was hit… then the pressure transferred Eastward, and caused an additional M4.0 in Oklahoma.

The “dutchsinse pressure transfer” theory is now proved.

The professionals said it was “impossible” for pressure to transfer across distances.

Professionals told me I didn’t understand geology OR seismology, and told me one smaller earthquake can NOT cause another smaller earthquake elsewhere.

Professionals called me a 'conspiracy theorist' for saying fracking causes earthquakes.

Professionals denied that Yellowstone's magma chamber reaches beyond the tetons to the South.

Professionals denied that the plate is moving from Northwest to Southeast.

All the aforementioned denials of my discoveries…. lol… now proved correct on all points.

Pressure IS transferring across distances. One smaller earthquake can cause another smaller earthquake very far away. Fracking injection DOES cause earthquakes of noteworthy size.

Yellowstone's magma chamber reaches South and West to mid Wyoming and West far into Idaho. The plate DOES move from the NW to the SE, proved via GPS measurements……

Oh, and they said it was impossible to forecast an earthquake, saying I was a fraud and just getting “lucky” by throwing quote “darts at a board.”

As everyone knows, we’ve nailed earthquake forecasts — last week was 17 areas hit out of 17 areas named.

Point of saying all this is:  Every concept I’ve discussed has been denied, XYZ concepts then studied, then confirmed.  Then, after it’s proved, other people show up and pretend they always knew XYZ, and even try to claim the discovery as their own.  Whatever.  What really blows my mind is that THEY ALL CAME TO ME...to my pages to harass...not just to say something...but professors personally harassing me while nothig is said to the other guy!!!

Dutchsinse: Multiple areas set to move


Dutchsinse

2/28/2016 — Past 7 days of seismic activity — Multiple areas set to move

by Michael Janitch
This graphic shows the past 7 days of M4.0+ earthquake activity globally - up to 10:00am CT, February 28, 2016.
past  7 days of earthquake feb 28 2016
Several of the areas we were watching in this weeks Earthquake Forecast have already been hit, including Central America, California, Argentina, and North Japan.
We are still watching MULTIPLE areas for larger movement to strike this week - be on watch in the areas named in the video, and shown in this graphic.
In addition to the areas which have already been hit, we can add Yellowstone, and Oklahoma back into the mix, both struck with M4.0 earthquakes 1 day ago (Feb 27) - both locations directly upon the edge of the craton.
Full post on the Yellowstone earthquake here:
The Western edge of the craton was put under serious pressure due to the borderline M5.0 (M4.9) earthquake which struck Central California at a fracking / pumping operation 3 days prior (February 23, 2016).
The seismic pressure from the movement in California then pushed the craton edge to the East , which ultimately caused a M4.0 at Yellowstone, and M4.0 at the fracking operations in Oklahoma.
See the most recent earthquake forecast video here:
_________
See the video on the California M4.9 at the fracking operations , which then caused the two M4.0 at Yellowstone + Oklahoma here:
_________
Now that several areas have moved with M4.0+ earthquake activity inside the continental United States, we need to be on watch in the warned area to the NW and SW along the West coast of the US.
The international "silent areas" named in the above video(es), and also shown in the top graphic on this post need to be on watch for additional days beyond the 7 day earthquake forecast time allotted for this movement to occur.
MULTIPLE new deep earthquakes have struck with ZERO followup shallow large movement (nothing over M6.0 yet).  This means we are most likely on the cusp of a much larger earthquake in one of the few warned areas shown in this graphic at the top of this post.
Of course I am hoping for smaller events, and swarms instead of single large release earthquakes... but we plan for larger events just in case.
This amount of silence (absent from larger seismic events) in the face of dozens of deep earthquakes, and multiple M4.0+ across the United States at the same time as this international "silence" in Papua New Guinea , Japan, and the Mideast (Iran / Turkey) means something is most likely building in one of the areas adjacent to the areas currently showing all the movement.
Keep watch for the next 3-5 days, at the end of this week we may be looking at a new round of volcanic eruptions to top it all off.
Right now, it really feels like the silence before the storm.  After what we've seen in the past, there is no way can we see this amount of deep movement, and not see shallow follow up movement occur in the nearby areas.

Why Hillary and Bernie won’t talk

Secrets, lies and the iPhone: A CIA whistleblower talks about Obama’s bizarre secrecy obsession — and why Hillary and Bernie won’t talk about it 

This isn't about Apple vs. the FBI — it's about a "progressive" president with a dismal record on                                      civil liberties


Andrew O'Hehir
Saturday, Feb 27, 2016 5:00 PM UTC



It’s one of the enduring mysteries of Barack Obama’s presidency as it sinks toward the sunset:  

How did this suave and intelligent guy, with the cosmopolitan demeanor, the sardonic sense of humor and the instinct for an irresistible photo-op, end up running the most hidden, most clandestine and most secrecy-obsessed administration in American history? 

And what does the fact that nobody in the 2016 campaign — not Bernie Sanders, not Hillary Clinton, not anybody — ever talks about this mean for the future? 

The answer to the second question is easy: Nothing good. The answer to the first one might be that those things are unrelated: Personality doesn’t tell us anything about policy, and our superficial judgments about political leaders are often meaningless.

Bill Moyers warned me about this some years ago when I asked him how he evaluated George W. Bush as a person. He wasn’t much interested in character or personality in politics, he said. Lyndon Johnson had been one of the most difficult people he’d ever known, and Moyers had never liked him, but Johnson was an extraordinarily effective politician. I wasn’t sharp enough to ask the obvious follow-up question, which was whether Johnson’s personal flaws had fed into his disastrous policy errors in Vietnam.

Bill Moyers has forgotten more about politics than I will ever know, but the thing is I do perceive a relationship between surface and substance, and I believe we learn something important about people almost right away. 

George W. Bush was profoundly incurious about the world, and insulated by layers of smarter people and money. 

Richard Nixon was always a creep. 

Bill Clinton wanted to make you cry and get your panties off. 

Ronald Reagan never had any idea what day it was. 

Barack Obama seems like a smart, funny, cool guy and maybe he’s too much of all those things for his own good. Maybe we will look back decades from now and perceive the Obama paradox — the baffling relationship between his appealing persona and his abysmal record on surveillance, government secrecy and national security — in a different light. For one thing, whatever they told him between November of 2008 and January of 2009 must have been really scary.

I called up John Kiriakou, a former CIA agent who spent 23 months in federal prison thinking this stuff over, to see if he could help. Kiriakou is one of the nine government leakers or whistleblowers that the Obama White House and/or the Justice Department has sought to prosecute under the Espionage Act, a law passed under Woodrow Wilson during World War I that was meant to target double agents working for foreign governments. (Among the other eight actual or prospective defendants are Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.) Under all previous presidents, incurious George included, the Espionage Act was used for that purpose exactly three times. If you’re keeping score, that’s nine attempted prosecutions in seven years, versus three in 91 years.

Kiriakou had a whole lot to say, especially about former Attorney General Eric Holder and current CIA director John Brennan, whom he sees as the prime movers behind the administration’s secrets-and-lies agenda — and also as the guys who railroaded him over what he describes as a minor indiscretion.

Kiriakou spent 15 years in the CIA, first as an analyst and then as a covert operative. He was involved in the capture of Abu Zubaydah, and apparently knew that the alleged senior al-Qaida operative was waterboarded by CIA interrogators, although he was not directly involved.
Kiriakou’s decision to talk about CIA torture in a 2007 interview ultimately landed him in prison. But it’s an arcane and suggestive tale and, at least officially, his crime had nothing to do with what he said about Zubaydah and waterboarding.

Kiriakou revealed the last name of a covert agent — inadvertently and in passing, he says — to an ABC News journalist named Matthew Cole, who said he was planning to write a book but was actually gathering information for defense lawyers working with detainees at Guantánamo Bay. Later, Kiriakou believes, Cole became a government informant. The whole thing would puzzle John le Carré and Immanuel Kant put together.
Even though Kiriakou’s purported offense occurred when George W. Bush was in the White House, it was Obama’s Justice Department that decided to investigate and prosecute him, a three-year process that left him bankrupt, unemployed and more than a million dollars in debt. In the end, he would up spending nearly two years in prison because he mentioned one person’s last name in one email. 

When it comes to why the Obama administration has repeatedly taken that approach, Kiriakou sounds just about as puzzled as the rest of us.  I laid out my limited understanding of the Obama paradox pretty much the way I did a few paragraphs ago, and Kiriakou sighed. “If this had not happened to me, I would be looking at the Obama presidency as one of the most successful and most progressive presidencies in my lifetime on everything from gay rights to the economy,” he said.

“His foreign policy has been largely successful, if you don’t necessarily focus on the Middle East. But I just can’t get past these whistleblower prosecutions, most especially my own.  “People ask me all the time if I blame Obama for this, and I tell them I don’t think Obama has any idea who I am,” he went on. Holder and Brennan had the president’s ear, Kiriakou believes, and for reasons of their own they were devoted to punishing all leakers who made the administration look bad. “I still have friends in the White House. I still have friends in the CIA. They tell me that it was John Brennan who was the real impetus behind these prosecutions, when he was assistant national security advisor for counterterrorism. Brennan was obsessed with leaks just like Holder was obsessed with leaks, and it was Brennan who pushed these prosecutions forward.”

What we see now at the tail end of Obama’s presidency is the FBI (which is under the authority of the Justice Department and hence the White House) trying to force Apple to hack open the world’s most popular and beloved handheld device, one of whose principal selling points is its unbreakable encryption. Although the president has taken no visible role in the iPhone struggle, it exemplifies what you might call the Obama line: I’m a reasonable guy and this is a special case. Don’t you trust me with your secrets?

“People just don’t seem to understand that this case has very broad civil liberties connotations,” Kiriakou says. “This is not a fight between Apple and the FBI. If Apple allows the FBI in this one time, what’s gonna stop them from asking another time? Indeed, the FBI has now asked for access to nine different phones in nine different cases. All the other cases are drug cases. So that has started already. Then, if such a back door exists, repressive regimes are going to use it and hackers are going to use it and the next thing you know everybody’s got access to your phone. I mean, haven’t we given up enough of our civil liberties already?
 

All these incremental losses of our civil liberties over the years, that people either don’t sense or don’t care about, are bad enough. Now we have to worry about the FBI going into our phones anytime they want.”

Obama came into office promising to run the most transparent and open White House in history and has done precisely the opposite. His administration has kept entire areas of national security, intelligence and anti-terrorism policy under the cloak of executive privilege. That includes the drone war that has killed several thousand people in at least six different countries. 

Despite the best efforts of international watchdog groups, we will probably never know its full scale and scope, or how many civilians have died in drone strikes.
It also includes the infamous “kill list” of individuals whom the president has personally determined are subject to summary execution without trial. 

If one person has Obama’s ear on this question, it would seem to be John Brennan, who during his tenure at the CIA has transformed the agency into a clandestine military force with no uniforms, no systems of accountability and no obligation to respect the ordinary rules of war.  At least two known individuals on the kill list have been United States citizens, including the influential al-Qaida imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico. (Awlaki’s teenage son, also an American citizen, was himself killed by a drone a few weeks after his father. His death is believed to have been collateral damage.) It was a year and a half after Awlaki’s death before the legal framework that supposedly authorized the president to kill him was discussed in public, and that only happened after a non-classified Justice Department memo was leaked to the press, perhaps with permission from above.

That all sounds like old news in the middle of an increasingly unhinged election year whose sole foreign policy issue is the national panic over ISIS, a group that, if we stretch the point, might plausibly be held responsible for the deaths of a few dozen Americans. But just because none of this is a campaign issue does not mean it has gone away.

Drone pilots are beginning to speak out about the video-game deaths they inflict on strangers thousands of miles away. A group of Air Force veterans recently published a letter to Obama in the Guardian describing the drone war as a “fundamental recruitment tool” for groups like ISIS and a driving force of terrorism.

The wife of another imprisoned CIA leaker, Jeffrey Sterling (who has consistently denied any wrongdoing), has mounted a campaign aimed at convincing Obama to pardon her husband before he leaves office, which is one reason I had John Kiriakou’s phone number.

On the other end of the spectrum, Donald Trump has captured a different segment of the national mood by suggesting that however many people Obama is killing in secret, it isn’t enough. Other Republican candidates are somewhat less eager to talk about the drone war or the previous president’s policies of “extraordinary rendition” and “enhanced interrogation.” Trump, to say the least, is not other Republicans. He has more or less promised to bring back the Bush torture policy on steroids, stripped of any prevarication or mixed emotions.

It would be ludicrous to expect Hillary Clinton, a longtime national-security insider with close ties to the intelligence community, to adopt a different approach in the White House. Kiriakou says that an aide to Bernie Sanders wrote him a letter while he was in prison telling him that the Vermont senator believed he had provided an important national service by revealing the CIA torture program. But issues of surveillance, spying and secrecy are never mentioned in Sanders’ fire-and-brimstone campaign speeches, which largely focus on the “free stuff.” That’s “extremely disappointing,” Kiriakou says, but suggests that Sanders’ team tested out that material and discovered that it didn’t resonate with voters.

So what’s the deal with Barack Obama? How did our coolest-ever president also turn out to be the one who pursued leakers and whistleblowers with a vengefulness and vigor without precedent in American history? To paraphrase what one of Stalin’s defeated rivals wrote in a letter to the dictator on the eve of his execution, why was John Kiriakou’s destruction useful or necessary to Obama? “I’m not sure that I can answer that question,” Kiriakou said, “and, believe me, I’ve thought about this a lot over the last four years.”

Then he pretty much did answer it, and the answer is depressing. “When you’ve got four shiny stars on your shoulder and you’re described as the ‘president’s favorite general’ and you say something that makes the president look good, you’re not going to get an espionage charge.” 

He is talking there about retired Gen. James Cartwright, who is suspected of leaking info about Stuxnet, the CIA computer virus that targeted Iran’s nuclear program, but was never prosecuted. 

“Or when you have those four shiny stars on your shoulder and you leak to your freaking girlfriend the names of 10 covert operatives, you get a pass.” That would be Gen. David Petraeus, the former CIA head who revealed far more information than Kiriakou did, and served no jail time.

“Or when you’re Hillary Clinton and you’ve got whatever it is now, 83 top-secret documents on your private server, you’re gonna get a pass,” Kiriakou continued. 

“It’s when you report on waste, fraud, abuse or illegality, or you embarrass the government or contradict a policy, that’s when the whole weight of the government is gonna crash down on your head.”

Hungary Kills The Rothschild Banks: Ordered To Vacate Country.

End Rothschild
Hungary is making history of the first order along with Iceland & Russia.
Not since the 1930s in Germany has a major European country dared to escape from the clutches of the Rothschild-controlled international banking cartels. This is stupendous news that should encourage nationalist patriots worldwide to increase the fight for freedom from financial tyranny.

People Issue Money
Hungary
Already in 2011, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán promised to serve justice on his socialist predecessors, who sold the nation’s people into unending debt slavery under the lash of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the terrorist state of Israel.
Those earlier administrations were riddled with Israelis in high places, to the fury of the masses, who finally elected Orbán’s Fidesz party in response.

According to a report on the German-language website “National Journal,” Orbán has now moved to unseat the usurers from their throne.
The popular, nationalistic prime minister told the IMF that Hungary neither wants nor needs further “assistance” from that proxy of the Rothschild-owned Federal Reserve Bank.
No longer will Hungarians be forced to pay usurious interest to private, unaccountable central bankers
Instead, the Hungarian government has assumed sovereignty over its own currency and now issues money debt free, as it is needed. The results have been nothing short of remarkable.
The nation’s economy, formerly staggering under deep indebtedness, has recovered rapidly and by means not seen since Germany.

The Hungarian Economic Ministry announced that it has, thanks to a “disciplined budget policy,” repaid on August 12, 2013, the remaining €2.2B owed to the IMF—well before the March 2014 due date.
Orbán declared: “Hungary enjoys the trust of investors,” by which is not meant the IMF, the Fed or any other tentacle of the Rothschild financial empire. Rather, he was referring to investors who produce something in Hungary for Hungarians and cause true economic growth.
This is not the “paper prosperity” of plutocratic pirates, but the sort of production that actually employs people and improves their lives.
OBAMA COMMUNISM rothschildism
With Hungary now free from the shackles of servitude to debt slavers, it is no wonder that the president of the Hungarian central bank, operated by the government for the public welfare and not private enrichment, has demanded that the IMF close its offices in that ancient European land.
In addition, the state attorney general, echoing Iceland’s efforts, has brought charges against the last three previous prime ministers because of the criminal amount of debt into which they plunged the nation.

  1. Muslim Brotherhood Documents Could Put Barack Obama aka; Barry Soetoro In Prison.
  2. DOCUMENTS REVEAL OBAMA ILLEGALLY PAID $182,129,786 FOR FOUR MONTHS HOUSING OF ILLEGAL ALIEN CHILDREN 12/2014
The only step remaining, which would completely destroy the power of the banksters in Hungary, is for that country to implement a barter system for foreign exchange, as existed in Germany under the National Socialists and exists today in the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, or BRICS, international economic coalition.
And if the United States would follow the lead of Hungary, Americans could be freed from the usurers’ tyranny and likewise hope for a return to peaceful prosperity.
