Weekend Open Thread – 09/18/2016

by | Sep 19, 2016 | Articles | 55 comments

It’s another busy weekend of news and information, so it’s time for another weekend open thread.

The Syrian truce is in tatters and Moscow is openly accusing Washington of trying to scuttle the peace before it even starts as the US admits to bombing the Syrian army in the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor, thereby protecting ISIS…by “accident,” of course. But don’t worry about the emergency UN Security Council meeting this prompted or the fact that Russian forces very narrowly missed running directly into US forces in their uncoordinated strikes. After all, what difference does WWIII make when there’s a pressure cooker bomb in NYC to freak out about?

Meanwhile, there’s breaking news from the Colin Powell DCLeaks emails: Can you believe that Israel has “200 nukes”? Powell admitted it himself in an email.

powell-israelWell, actually the only thing that’s worth questioning here is whether he means 200 altogether (surely a lowball) or only 200 “targeted on Tehran.” But since there may be two or three people in the world for whom this is shocking news, catch up with the world’s worst kept secret here…But don’t expect Israel to be signing up to that NPT (like Iran has) any time soon.

But these are just some of the tidbits floating across the newswires right now. What’s on your mind today? Corbett Report members are encouraged to log in and use this space to comment, question, post information and interact. Have at it, friends.

  1. Arabia,
    I really like your concept.
    “…club / society / organization that is recognized world wide, with main objective to wake people up.”

    CorbettReport and the comment section offer some opportunities.

    WeAreChange offers a network of help towards activism.

    But I think I understand your concept. A group primarily focused on actively informing people in the real world about the deceptions.

    You can always start a group locally.

    I gotta tell you from experience, it is like pulling teeth to get others to take an active role or leadership role in disseminating truth in the real world. (73,000 DVDs later, literally tons of literature and hundreds of action/events/theater showings/etc.) I am about to take a hiatus. 10 years at it.

    I really admire this activist, Regina. Grass Roots at its best.

    • Hi VOA,
      I share your frustration, and find the level of apathy and/or ignorance to be overwhelming at times.
      One group of like minded individuals that I am involved with is permaculture. Whilst no two individuals are likely to share even most of my/your views on the areas that we talk about and investigate/ discuss here at TCR I am buoyed by the emphasis on solutions and growing one’s own food and generally not relying on TPTSNB. I have met permies who are libertarians and anarchists as well as others who still subscribe to the left-right paradigm, however I believe that the number of permies who would have alternate views on many issues (and who implement real solutions!) would be much higher per person than the average in the rest of society.
      As an example, I have been able to exchange time for services rendered to the point that I have now a netted structure within which to grow fruit trees and vegetables that is large enough to be able to grow most of my families food needs within the next five or so years. By exchanging time for services I’ve been able to halve the cost of the construction. We will not be “off the grid” completely, however we will be able to lessen our reliance on mainstream sources of food, and will have learnt lots of skills along the way. I have also developed a network of individuals with whom I can relate on many issues beyond the vacuous topics that so much of our societies spend their time and resources on. Open sourcing of items is seen as the norm or at least highly desireable.
      Most permies have developed a fairly strong “bullshit meter” as well, meaning that they are more likely to be at least open to looking at information without dismissing it out of hand, and yet not accepting it without questioning…
      I’m in a bit of a rush and still working myself into the day, however I hope this contribution of mine is useful…

      • Not this Frog,
        I belong to a Permaculture Meetup. I also notice what you have noted.

    • Hi black sheep & VOA

      Even if you would have The Answer (something like 42 ?), majority of people are not capable to grasp it, to understand it.
      You can have the Best Answer, The best communication skills, Top social intelligence……if the other side in communication don’t perform their part of job…
      ….then there is no change.
      Well, not exactly. You planted the seeds. You influenced not just that particular person, but this person will, to some extent, transfer ideas to his/her friends. Even if he doesn’t accept ideas!

    • Hi Again VOA,

      further to my earlier thoughts. My reasoning behind suggesting you investigate permaculture is that it might be a safer option for you, given that it is not a political movement as such.

    • VoiceOfArabia,

      – ACTIVISM – “Wake up” –

      -CorbettReport –
      Just so you know, within the last 8 days, in my North Texas area, we have met in person two new people exclusively from the CorbettReport comment section.
      ~~ #1 ~On Sunday, 11 Sept, a fellow who heard about our group’s Sign Wave in Dallas via the CorbettReport comment section came by and donated $40 towards our free DVD program.
      ~~ #2 ~Last night, Sunday 18 Sept, I met wonderful Theresa from CorbettReport comment section. We had a chance to visit and she met many others in our area who are activists, including famous people like Jim Marrs, another government whistleblower Cathy Harris, Nation of Islam, people in the alternative health field, etc. We were at our group’s sponsored VAXXED event. It was a packed house. Dr Andrew Wakefield was there. He spoke and many people got to meet him.
      https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vaxxed-movie-free-dallas-screening-sept-18-tickets-27738372218?aff=erelexpmlt#
      http://dallas.backpage.com/events/free-dallas-vaxxed-film-screening-september-18th-3pm-at-valley-view-center-preston-and-i-635/44858392

      Vaccines in the United States are on a roll towards being mandated (already mandated for kids in California). Big Pharma is going strong now in a counter-attack with VAXXED blowing the whistle on the CDC. They are throwing lots of money at Texas. Representatives are bringing up mandate legislation. Traditionally, Texas has had freedom of choice on vaccines and also Homeschooling. That may end. Big Pharma wants to take out Texas regarding vaccines. If Texas, the most conservative state goes with mandated vaccines, then the other states fall like dominoes.

      During the Q & A, Wakefield pointed out that eventually it will become almost virtually impossible to avoid vaccines as the tyranny takes hold. Wakefield: “Do not try to hide in the shadows of a system that is broken.”

      VoiceOArabia,
      During 10 years of street activism our North Texas group has learned some things. http://www.meetup.com/9-11-249/
      Our group offers free DVDs and literature at any events or actions.
      Our events and actions cover the field. From 9/11 to Monsanto to VAXXED to the Peace Movement to Fluoride to Alternative Health.
      We have marched with Cindy Sheehan to George Bush’s house (and by the way, she got a 25 DVD set from our group’s founder, Joe. And Cindy soon after spoke up for 9/11 Truth). In fact, Joe has personally given these VIP sets to Russ Baker, John Perkins, and many other authors.)
      We have been at many JFK events, many Peace marches, Monsanto marches, the Soros “Occupy March”, drum and music fairs, radio fairs, MLK marches, health events, End the Fed events, Ron Paul events, etc.

      – Rallying the troops –
      I do want to tell you that it is hard to muster the troops towards any kind of street action.
      Sometimes it is easier just to do something yourself.

      – Marketing –
      Also, the words “Wake Up” may not be the best marketing term with raw public.

      The average raw new person agrees that the media lies and that the government is corrupt.
      We often tell people “Here is a free DVD that exposes the government lies that the media is not telling us about.”

      We have burned DVDs about many topics (money, 9/11, Fluoride, etc.) We make sure that it is not a DVD that is being sold by the maker. For example: We don’t burn VAXXED.

      Before Ae911truth had their brochures, there was no real 9/11 literature out there. At that time, circa 2008, we printed a pallet of newspapers.

      • But I want to add, I am about to take a hiatus.
        Somebody else can carry the torch of activism for awhile.
        I know what I have done. I am gonna take a breather.

        • VOA,
          Just wanted to say that it’s really exciting to hear more people from the Middle East waking up… In many ways, the people of that region (whether still there or abroad) are the most persecuted people in the world. They have become the global, Orwellian scapegoat because of the “War On Terror” narrative, and I feel sore and angry for what has been done to them and the manipulation that that region has undergone in order to foment violence, chaos and destruction. I really hope that more will continue to awaken… If a significant minority of the ME became awake, it would completely change the game imo… North American’s haven’t lost anywhere near as much, and thus apathy and ignorance is an easy default mentality.

          HRS,
          You documenting some of all that you and your community has done thru activism is incredible and inspiring… And it helps to generate passion, creativity, new ideas within me to pursue. I hope in the coming years that I and others will be able bring about exponential growth thru the example and seeds you and others have sown.

          To both of you (from Middle America to the Middle East), thank you for being thoughtful, contributing to this community/research, and for being a part of changing our world for the better! It certainly needs people of integrity and commitment. We’ve all had lots of programming (education, media, news…) to try to steer us away from being people of character, wisdom and maturity… Thank you to you and all those here that are striving to take the higher road… and often at this point in humanity’s journey it is the road less traveled.

    • “….critical mass starts developing after 5-6% ….”

      Erica Chenoweth says even less is necessary.

      The success of nonviolent civil resistance
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w

      Anyhow, huge numbers are not necessary and I think they are also not possible.
      The next sentences maybe sounds derogatory but they are not intended to be. It is just, lets call a spade spade.
      Majority of people are followers. They will follow whoever will sound reasonable to them at the moment, Alexander the Great, Lenin, Hitler(y), Drumpf….

      The fundamental problem with these people is not their apathy, ignorance but it is more the problem of the Last man (Nietzsche), that is comfort, laziness, complacency, fear of uncertainty.
      Inevitable economic crisis will help us to get some of these people. They need a punch to the stomach otherwise they won’t move.

  2. Although the man carrying the sign with “The End is Near” on it has been around my whole 66 years and more, there seems to be a scent of something coming in the air today. How do “awake” people counter the leverage of the Mega rich families and entities? They are very busy preparing for the shit storm that’s coming, prodding and tossing gas on the sparks. I fear the only change will come after a period of great disorder and suffering. And what kind of change?

    As you can tell, I’m not too optimistic. I find a lot of people prefer to be asleep when I mention the things I’ve learned here. It all makes sense to me. If I were mega rich and powerful, I’d be scared of us too. We’re just eaters to them.

    • Zombies, refugees, have-nots…

      On the other hand, vampires became so cooool,…hot

  3. Has anyone heard the new theory that Hillary Clinton died a week ago when she collapsed before getting thrown into her van “like a piece of meat”? She supposedly got driven to her daughter, Chelsea’s apartment. She then emerged about two hours later totally rejuvenated and even kissed a baby in front of the building in spite of her contagious pneumonia. However, it is believed the woman who emerged was in fact a double. This same double gave the speech in North Carolina last Thursday.

    Truth is stranger than fiction.

    • Yup, I’ll believe it when Bill stops dicking bimbos for a few weeks cause he’s tapping the rejuvenated Hillary.

      • Ol’ Billy goat has snorkel like vacuum cleaner and excellent supplies of stuff. He will just push to high gear, man-handle all of them. And die.
        Nation will elect fresh widow president.

  4. Corporate media is united and in full view on steroids yet it remains a very difficult target

  5. Whatever became of the Geneva Business Insider monthly spot with David L. Smith on this site? I enjoyed David’s insights and found his reasoning entirely erudite. I emailed James about this but never received a reply, and so I emailed David who (after a delay of some months) replied saying he would need to get in contact with James again. Am I the only person who wishes to see the return of these? Perhaps a show of support might help…

    • While I’m on the subject of whining about things I’d like to see.. How about an interview with Gearóid Ó Colmáin? That would make some interesting viewing.

    • I was thinking ft he same just a few days ago. I would support J doing further interviews w DLS. I would guess that JC is finding time is his greatest enemy when it comes to doing all the interviews he’d like to do….

    • Yes would welcome that, especially his take on the dodgy deals being done for Brexit..

  6. FreedomForceInternational.

  7. Interesting twist on the NYC bombing that is also promoted as the CHELSEA BLAST. A coincidence of fate, perhaps but Chelsea Clinton lives within or very near the Chelsea neighborhood. We’re now wondering if the bomb was intended to distract from the NY Post lead story on the Clinton Email cover-up that names mastermind Cheryl Mills behind Clinton’s massive email coverup – Mills promised job of Chief Counsel to Hillary regime.

  8. HILLARY’s GREEN SCREEN SENSATION: Remember that posting a fake video to a real event is a CIA tactic of “cognitive infiltration” (Cass Sunstein). The event was likely real including ample attendance, but networks can post a hacked GREEN-SCREEN video version to trick open source investigators into(wrongly)alleging the entire campaign event was fake. What a sly method of tagging investigators as “conspiracy theorists”.

  9. History repeating?

    I note that the Australian Prime Minister (Malcolm Turnbull) was in NYC again at the invitation of the US president at the time when the explosions happened.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-18/explosion-in-chelsea-new-york-injures-people/7855924

    A repeat of September 11, 2001 when the former Australian Prime Minister (John Howard) was due to be in NYC at the invitation of George Bush Jr, but decided to attend an event in Arlington instead.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-09-07/mackenzie-gregory-on-september-11/2874622

    Are they there to plan the next war?

    • Very interesting train of thought. Hopefully you’re proven to be wrong about the next war being planned, however I fear you could be on to something.

  10. Interesting conversations above….

    Please consider what it means to you, personally, to “wake up” and endure as little of the following “documentary” as possible:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20a7aoPA5E0

    “I’m Awake”….. replace the word “Awake” with any of the following:

    “Naive”
    “Gullible”
    “Uneducated”
    “Heavily Sedated”
    “On Drugs”
    “A Rebel Looking For A Cause”
    “Bat$hit Crazy”

    Language is important; our own buzz words are being used to paint us as raving lunatics.

    Rabbit Holes, Red & Blue Pills….

  11. I like the suggestions above regarding a source of distilled “Truth”. A new book of wisdom to provide an update on what our ancestors cooked up thousands of years ago.

    The Ten Suggestions

    1) Revisit All Assumptions. This “Book” represents a snapshot in time, our best guess as of this date. It is neither sacred nor gospel. The intention is for these assumptions to be regularly revisited and revised as mankind learns and evolves.

    2) We have found no evidence to support the existence of a “God”.

    3) Beware of magic words. “Science” is a method for gaining information through experimentation. Be suspicious of those who anthropomorphize words to take on meaning so as to control behaviour. “Settled Science” is an oxymoron.

    4) Live your life without guilt, shame or fear. You are here; rejoice.

    5) Golden Rule: Don’t hurt yourself, Don’t hurt others, Don’t damage your stuff, Don’t damage other people’s stuff. Otherwise, enjoy yourself.

    6) Evolution is a reality.

    7) Neither a leader nor a follower be. Think and allow others time to think. Debate passionately but with an open mind.

    I’ll leave it here. Anybody have any ideas regarding a distillation of 10 important universal “facts”?
    Anybody interested in the notion of a new repository for such “facts”?

  12. I live in NYC area and heard the reports as they came in last night on the radio. I was stuck in traffic because the president’s visit had already made commuting a nightmare. So I was listening as the reports came in.
    I found it odd when they said that police didn’t know the cause of the explosion, but then also quoted the mayor who said it was intentional. How do you know it was intentional if you don’t know the cause?
    Also yesterday was the first day of the new NYPD police chief. A good way to start it off with a bang!
    And let me add that this explosion was a very safe distance from Chelsea’s apartment. Why would they target a school for the blind and not the much more heavily populated and upscale Madison Park area a good long block away?
    I agree with the idea that this was well timed to keep us from focusing on revelations of corruption from the Clinton email hack (and now Powell). I mean he actually admits that Israel has 200 nukes pointing at Iran.
    Forget about pay to play access and billions sucked out of charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation….
    because there was also a second device (the FBI”S favorite type…a pressure cooker) found just blocks away!

  13. Anti-Semitic is an interesting term worth thinking about ;
    a. because the Judaeans/Hebrews were one small group of Semitic people among many others, Palestinians included
    b. because modern Jews are not essentially a Semitic folk but in the great majority Khazaris, which is more like Mongol-Turkic.

    But I think you’re barking up the wrong tree that the Nazi holocaust was authentic. The concentration camp system was pretty similar to Stalin’s gulags ; slave labour until you drop. Certainly very ugly, murderous by nature, but as we all know not quite so bad as the industrialization of race slaughter, which is the unique characteristic of the holocaust tale that sends a chill up every spine. That is almost certainly a fake designed specifically to chill every spine and spread sympathy for Zionism far and wide. So the irony is that these gas giants were providing products to the Nazi concentration camps for the benign or positive purpose of delousing (such as it was conducted at the time world wide).

    Probably the best good Jew / bad Jew story around these days concerns Michael Shermer and David Cole. Shermer is fairly famous as a sceptic scientist, regrettably invited to participate in the activities of the Electric Universe crowd headed by Dave Talbot and Wallace Thornhill, the most advanced and robust practitioners of real science going around these days — steadfastly opposed to the mathematical reductionism (derived from financiers and banking) which dominates academia but is, in a word, only numerology. How do we know this ? Because real maths is a great tool for description and measurement, quite incapable of explaining anything. Wherever you see mathematicians or bankers for that matter trying to explain things with mathematical equations, know for sure you’ve stepped into the surreal world of numerology and the Kabala.

    Shermer is quite incapable of making such simple and important distinctions. The real sceptic is his fellow American Jew David Cole, who ventured to take his questioning mind and rolling camera to the Auschwitz tour. There he filmed and asked questions. And determined very clearly by simple observations and the contradictory, inept and sometimes lying responses of the tour guides and camp-as-exhibition authorities that the human gas chamber centre-piece of the holocaust hoax was not anything of the kind DURING WW2, but altered to look the part post-war.
    He took this information back to the US in the 1990s and caused a big stir because as a Jew he couldn’t be labelled & lambasted in quite the same way as other holocaust revisionist like Irving or Mark Weber. He could, however, be bashed and subjected to death threats, which caused him to disappear from public life for a decade or more. The activist who organized the personal assaults finally issued publically, online, a $25,000 contract for Cole’s murder. This is a thug called Irving Rubin. At this point Cole decided to take a break from holocaust revision, so he wrote to Rubin recanting all his claims about Auschwitz and Rubin duly cancelled the hit. This is where Shermer intervenes, recognizing that the florid and exaggerated terms of Cole’s recantation in fact did not really express his true views but poked fun at Rubin, who as said was basically just a thug. So Shermer writes to Rubin stressing the insincerity and by implication if nothing else, actively intervenes to have a Zionist hit contract reinstated. This is the measure of the man Shermer, if it is a real man, and from these details one can deduce quite a lot about the reliability of his science and judgement.
    They are provided by Cole himself, who obtained them from Rubin when the latter phoned him to query the sincerity of his retraction.
    It’s regrettable that Cole did have to go into hiding for a decade or so, but that these criminals Rubin or Shermer did not and didn’t even have to consider doing so. This was 1997-97, and Shermer was an eminent guest of the EU / thunderbolts.info crew only a couple of years ago. So the stench of his brand of scepticism has been around for quite a long time and could do with a little delousing.

    Mark K.P.

    • Are you a sKeptic? Or antiseptic?

    • Hi Mark,

      Thanks for your enlightening comment, you say a couple of things that interest me very much. I wonder whether you could provide some links to sources, in particular about the origin of the Holocaust.

      Up until about a year ago, I just knew the usual about the Holocaust. A spinal experience indeed, when you think about it. But then I read something about Holocaust denial, which at first seemed so absurd I just forgot about it.
      But then. Focusing on other things, I find reports about Zionist repression of Holocaust denial, going as far as laws against it!
      So there is definitely something very wrong with the Holocaust story, as well as with Zionist power. This is even worse considering the apparent lack of respect for the victims.

      So I started researching Jewish culture, religion and anti-semitism. Jewish religion in particular gave me a very funny feeling reading pieces of Talmud representing a kind of apartheid ideology, even the South African racists of that period would not have dared to write down. I found an article that describes this experience better than I can at http://uprootedpalestinians.blogspot.com/2011/07/dare-i-say-its-name.html about Jewish Supremacism.

      So next I found http://www.cohen-levi.org/, a family website, covering 3000 years of Jewish family life and they sure are proud of it, just read and shiver. They particularly love the genetic proof of their ancestry, apparently there exists something like a Jewish genetic profile, found in Jews all over the world. I quote: “For more than 90 percent of the Cohens to share the same genetic markers after such a period of time is a testament to the devotion of the wives of the Cohens over the years. Even a low rate of infidelity would have dramatically lowered the percentage.” end quote.

      This is all very interesting, the way genetics is uncovering all kinds of hidden antique truths. I would never have guessed, but my blue eyes come from an single ancestor, a freak with the first pair of blue eyes, who must have lived some 6000 years ago! Amazing indeed. But no shivers for that.

      It is quite different with the Jewish genetic profile, after reading your post. If it is true what you said, I quote: .
      “But I think you’re barking up the wrong tree that the Nazi holocaust was authentic.. etc” end quote, meaning that the whole Holocaust was a false flag event, then the real Holocaust is yet to take place.
      There will be developed an Ebola strain that very quickly kills everyone on the planet, exept Jewish gene owners. They won’t even need sheep’s blood on their doorposts.

      The whole thing exposes Jews being deeply manipulated with their religion by people who have intimate knowledge of such, but absolutely no belief in it. Killing a Goy means nothing for a Talmudian Jew, as far as I understand it, but killing a Jew is very doubtful, let alone killing 6.000.000 of them.

      There is a lot of talk about waking people up so we can stop this proces leading to total destruction that we are living in. But within the scenario just sketched, it seems that the most urgent group to wake up would be the Jews!

      They consider themselves to be the chosen people, chosen by G-d himself, long ago.
      These days, however, they seem to be considered by Satan to be HIS chosen people, leading them back to Israel, waiting for the next deluge that will kill off all the non-believers, like me.
      So wake them up and let them start to choose for themselves. The true anti-semites are the Zionists.

      OK, I may be in a bit of an open-loop condition writing all these apocalyptical words. I am happy with any feedback. I do not intend to insult anyone, I just want to understand.

      Ad.

  14. Hi @black sheep – maybe this link into who the Ashkenazi’s were, might be of interest.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews

    I am not saying your theory is true, but it’s interesting to find reference to a demographic percentage of Jews who have the word “nazi” in their name. There are more references to this group in various resources on the web, all of which explore this topic in more detail.

  15. I’m wondering if anyone else would be interested in asking James to consider doing an episode of FLNWO on Ezra Pound. I’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to Pound, but it’s very interesting to note that he was writing and talking about international banking, the Federal Reserve, etc. as far back as World War I. The original “conspiracy theorist”? I need a mind much more able than mine to synthesize some of the key aspects of Pound’s work. I’m hoping Corbett’s background as a literature major would mean he is at least somewhat interested or open to discussing Pound at some point in the future.

  16. Keep in mind, while it was more than likely a fake stage event, Obama and his inner circle had no other choice but to stage it since Bin Laden more than likely had died in 2001, however Black Ops or a faction within the US government outside of Obama’s control kept using the fake Bin Laden in order to keep the war on terror alive, therefore Obama had to find a way to remove him, which is also why the Black Ops or a faction within the US government outside of Obama’s control orchestrated the Benghazi attack, with Bin Laden gone they had to create a new threat to keep the “war on terror” going.

  17. “a tool to move people” … well said!

  18. This is why surveillance is such a threat to humanity. The collective digital world was (maybe still could be) the best forum for channeling our energies.

  19. WW3? I don’t think so.
    USAF attack on Syrian army looks to me like revenge for shooting down Israeli F-16 and drone that happened few days ago. “Incidentally”, they helped their head-chopping buddies…win,win.
    I think everything is “under control” until American planes start to fall down.

  20. Tools of Propaganda:

    – Emotions: Bypass the logical prefrontal cortex and target the emotional mind (i.e. limbic system)

    – Divide and Conquer: People evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to be tribal. Give them a team to cheer for. Give them a rival team. Logic will again go out the window as they fight amongst themselves rather than uniting against the common enemy.

    – Tell them they are “smart”….everybody wants to believe they are smart. Tell people who aren’t particularly talented with math and science what 97% of scientists say. Tell them that only stupid people disagree with “scientists”.

    – Bait and switch: Distract them with the dilemma of having to make a “choice” between two undesirable things. At the last minute introduce a third option and watch the teary eyed restoration in faith, hope and democracy unfold. A last minute Hail Mary, nail biter keeps everybody on the edge of their seats and leaves them little time to find too much information about the newly inserted “solution” to the “problem”.

    – Problem, Reaction, Solution

    – Distraction: Give them pokimon, drugs, alcohol, sports, pop culture to prevent them from taking the time to pause and think. They are much too busy to think.

    – Repetition: Repeat a lie often enough….. Daily reminders in schools and mainstream media

    – Peer Pressure: Don’t dare to offer opinions that differ from the majority

    – Shaming: Tin Foil Hats for all the Conspiracy Theorists. What better environment to engage in a conspiracy than one in which “conspiracy theorist” is the most derogatory label you can receive?

    – Reward: eg. Sesame Credit

  21. Hi VoiceofArabi:
    I really like your point, we need not a “false flag” to sway opinion but we need a “Truth Flag” to wake people up. What is it? unfortunately for us here in the US it would need to be something that the bread and circus crowd will respond to…

    I’m with you!

  22. Jarrod,
    Really profound, insightful post. I agree completely. Like I said to my friend: “Just cause someone’s smart, doesn’t mean that they’ll be open and question things deeper.”

    Pride and cognitive dissonance are an extremely effective cocktail that many/even most? within the intelligentsia find as their go to way of responding to many things that are not considered mainstream, establishment narratives within the academic community. Much like Kuhn elucidates in The Structure of Scientific Revolution, no matter how much of an expert or how “informed” we may be in a given field or topic, we must always strive to have a commitment to epistemological humility… We all have blindspots, both individually and as various collectives. Thus, the only rational posture (both in “academia” and in the “day to day interaction”) is one of openness, humility, and reflection. If we’re ever going to get out of lower states of consciousness (fear or pride/flight or fight) where we are easily manipulated/herded into submission by “tptsb”, epistemological humility and integrity are the way forward as humans/humanity.

    Like you outlined, we must be wise and creative in who we interact with and how we interact… We need to be intuitive, so as not to waste our time on those that have no interest in being reflective/questioning. And not waste our energy in inferior ways of connecting and communicating what is so vitally important to the future of our world… Potentially, that wisdom could also turn the tide to the point where we as “conspiracy realists” are no longer known in a pejorative way within our world. I see it already happening with some friends!

  23. Jarrod,
    — Universities —
    I was a student at a Texas University circa 2006-2008 getting my degree in the Environmental Sciences. 9/11 Truth was just breaking out and extremely resisted. Ae911truth was not yet around until towards 2008.
    During that time I burned and personally gave out more than 10,000 DVDs. (“9/11 Mysteries” was a good one for give away during that period.)

    My backpack had a big sign “Ask me for Free DVDs about 9/11”. I posted info all around campus. Every professor (and there were many) received a free DVD under their door. I spoke up about 9/11 at every appropriate opportunity in my classes.

    Depending upon the subject matter and class, I made it a point to bring up different frauds.
    Examples:
    ~Depleted Uranium used in war, and I enlisted the help of a Gulf War veteran student. And gave a presentation to the class.
    ~ My Agriculture and Soil Science Instructors once asked me what I thought about the Global Warming. (They knew it was a sham) And so I told the class about how it is a charade designed to control….
    ~ Vaccines – I provided DVDs and had some serious class debates with “Education majors” (future teachers) and Biology teachers about the harmful effects.
    ~ Aspartame – I coaxed some students to do project on how it effects frogs for their Biology project. They showed how the frog’s heart swelled to twice the size.
    ~ I did an air quality test for aluminum from chemtrails for a class.
    ~ “Letter to the Editor” of the campus paper was a nice platform.
    ~ There were so many campus opportunities and actions, it would be a long list.

    ~ For a Biology class, we were supposed to write a paper on a plant. I chose “Stevia” and went big-time into it having the plants… and exposing Donald Rumsfeld and government/corporate corruption. I got a low grade on the paper, because it was too long. (By the way, I graduated in the top 5% of my class)
    I laughed about the low grade. I set up displays around campus with free Stevia plants and the paper. The paper got published on the internet.
    The EXPERIMENT where NutraSweet kills fire ants is really cool.
    Take a look…

    There were many “deception topics” which I would gracefully bring up in my classes.

    I had some Professors give me that “knowing but can’t say anything” look. I had some Professors go berserk against things like 9/11 Truth. The quantity of classmates and town folks who became enlightened was incredible. They, in turn, woke up many others.

    Universities and Colleges are a great venue to expose deceptions.

    • Jarrod,
      You are doing great!!!
      Keep up the good work.

  24. Not quite as creepy as you think my studies and othere show That B’nai B’rith is of course the Jewish arm of the Scottish Right of free masonry instituted under Albert Pike which the went on to form the ADL. Look up William Cooper the ugly truth about the ADL on youtube. Meanwhile read this.

    Zionist take over

    Zionism- the social movement which creates and sustains the physical nation of Israel.
    It is the driver for world government through Israel in the tradition of the heretical Frankest Jews
    (Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky all of Jewish decent. Names changed) Funded by Rothschild/and agents
    Marx, Lenin, Stalin- all Free Masons-Marks self-proclaimed Satanist member League of the Just which became the Communist League
    Carls “Handler” or supervisor was Friederich Engles provided out line for their policy statement for the public which became the communist manifesto. Marx was so unimportant at the time his name didn’t even appear on it for some 20 years
    Theodor Herzel (Rothschild Zionist) Austrian Jew wrote “Judenstaat” or The Jewish State pub. 1896
    Proposed a Jewish state to hear the problem of anti-Semitism
    Rothschild founded the Zionist Federation of Great Britain in 1897 with Herzel as President to promote political Zionism
    Herzel?- “It is essential that the sufferings of the Jews becomes worse…This will assist in the realization of our plans…I have an excellent idea…I shall induce the anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth…the anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and opposition of the Jews…the anti-Semites will become our best friends”
    Rothschild agent Arthur James Balfour see Balfour Declaration of 1917
    Political Zionism used and magnified anti-Semitism to create the state of Israel see “The Transfer Agreement” Edwin Black 1984

    The Jewish community in alliance with Crypto-Jews became very powerful in last century of Ottoman Empire. In 1896 CE, when Sultan Abdul Hamid refused to meet Theodor Herzl during latter’s trip to Constantinople and rejected World Jewish Congress offer to negotiate the sale of Palestine in return for paying-off tens of millions of pounds to resolve Turkey’s debt crisis – they brought down the empire through their agents, who had infiltrated the Young Turk Movement. Later, these agents carried out their racism by committing Armenian Christian genocide – which Jewish lobbying group ADL’s president Abraham Foxman still refuses to accept.
    The reader will remember that Ottoman Empire fought on Germany’s side in W.W.I. A few powerful Jews, including the Rothschild’s were responsible for the wording of the Treaty imposed on Germany that ended W.W.I. The treaty gave the Rothschild’s the German owned railway rights in Palestine (which had been part of the Ottoman Empire), thus paving the way for the Rothschild’s to have a sure leverage to dictate policy concerning Palestine. The Rothschild’s had made loans to Turkey which amounted to almost one hundred million pounds. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed after W.W.I because they were on the losing side, the Rothschild’s had a claim on Palestine because of those unpaid Turkish loans. The British government followed the dictates of the Rothschild’s. The British were given a mandate over Palestine, and the Rothschild’s were able through their proxies in the British government, to create the steps that led to the creation of Israel.

  25. Anyone else loving Mr Robot? James, FLNWO?

    • “For most of its two seasons, “Mr. Robot” has revolved around a plot to hack and destroy the global conglomerate E Corp. In last night’s episode, though, the plot flipped into a fight over currencies and power and a battle between bitcoin and a government-controlled alternative.

      The scheme was dreamed up by Phillip Price (Michael Cristofer), the malignant E Corp. CEO, to turn his company’s digital currency, eCoin, into the equivalent of the U.S. dollar, as a way to fight bitcoin. What’s absolutely great about this is that it plays on not one, but two dystopian fears: the fears among corporatists and government officials that bitcoin is going to take over the world, and the fear among bitcoiners that their beloved cryptocurrency will be perverted into a tool of the very institutions they sought to disintermediate in the first place.”

      http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2016/09/15/mr-robot-drags-bitcoin-into-its-dystopian-nightmare/

      Mr Robot is so utterly gripping and outwardly subversive…I just hope it inspires more kids to learn to program rather than just fill in ASCII boxes..

      Mind awake, body asleep…

  26. Cashless society – corrupt and criminals are the ones to worry.
    Very interesting propoganda piece from the BBC talking about inevitability of cash disappearing and how wonderful it can be. I would love to see some responses and analysis.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p047p4dj

  27. HomeRemedySupply just watched the Vaxxed doco. Fascinating. I wonder if you would be interested in contacting James direct seeing you appear to have some connections to the movie (?) and see if he might want to do a vid about it. I know he has had wakefield on in the past but ive been surprised at how relatively little there is on the topic on this site. Sorry James, I dont mean to keep referring to you in the third person as if this isn’t your own comments section 😛
    I also see on IMDB there is a vid ‘un-vaxxed’ that followed the debacle of Robert DeNiro backing the screening of Vaxxed and then retracting from it in rather strange circumstances but cant see this video anywhere. Homeremedy, do you have anything to add on this?
    Thanks

    • – VAXXED –

      Nick,
      Hi guy!
      No, I don’t have any direct connection to VAXXED.
      But I did talk to Andy Wakefield on Sunday, the 18th.
      http://www.dogsagainstfluoridation.com/vaxxed-movie

      Some of the Corbett commenters were there..Joe, Hanky, Theresa, me, and I don’t know who else. It was packed. Also, many in our Texas group were there. http://www.meetup.com/9-11-249/

      Regina Imburgia, long time local activist, is the one who made the event happen.
      If we could clone her, The New World Order would weep and give up.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roCATZia6C8

      Nick, You are correct.
      We have a crisis. #1 and #2

      #1 ~ By 2032, one in two people will have Autism at this rate.

      #2 ~ “Mandated vaccines” is around the corner. They are swiftly trying to implement this. This was discussed at the Event by Wakefield when people were asking how to avoid mandated vaccines, because the individual is swallowed by the system, whether via insurance or getting a drivers license or Medicare or huge fines/incarceration if one does not comply. Even as an agorist, it seems something difficult to avoid personally, plus one’s fellows are affected. (And I know Doctors who might help the individual covertly avoid them, but that doesn’t solve things long term.)

      I like Wakefield’s quote: “Do not try to hide in the shadows of a system that is broken”.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
      — James Corbett —

      Nick,
      I like your suggestion about James doing a piece on VAXXED or the issue.

      However, I realized that fortunately James Corbett is his own man who follows the path he decides.

      We are always free to make suggestions and comment and have opinions with James.

      I often have pushed for James to interview David Blume (How homemade moonshine might conquer the world)(e.g. electric vehicles have a health EMF problem)

      But I realized that James is swamped.
      And he needs to stay true to where he wants to go.
      His creativity shines when he follows his choosing.

      Perhaps James will run with your suggestion. We’ll see.

      ~~~~~~~~~
      Nick,
      On the UnVaxxed…that is a Horowitz’ production.
      You get a smell of what happened with DeNiro when you go to his videos on the website http://www.dogsagainstfluoridation.com/vaxxed-movie

      • Ha! You are right!

      • All Well said, Home Remedy Supply.

        I do wonder if people truly understood what could potentially be in the future for them and for their children (mandatory vaccines- no matter where you live), they would become much more involved and proactive.

  28. We need to eschew the computers.

  29. Just need to read about the actions of Jew George Soros to know you are right on the mark.
