Cointelpro Continues

Open Thread Image.jpg

On March 8, 1971, a cab driver, a day care provider, and two professors broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, and stole more than 1,000 classified documents that they then mailed anonymously to several U.S. papers. They were members of the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI. They selected the night of the “Fight of the Century,” the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, when most people would be glued to their radios. The documents revealed the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program — COINTELPRO — which was a series of covert, and often illegal, activity. The FBI conducted surveillance, infiltration, discreditation, and the disruption of domestic political organizations — including actions that led to murder.

The FBI began COINTELPRO—short for Counterintelligence Program—in 1956 to disrupt the activities of the Communist Party of the United States. In the 1960s, it was expanded to include a number of other domestic groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Socialist Workers Party, and the Black Panther Party.
Recently we've had the revelations of the Twitter files and the role of the FBI, CIA, etc in the Censorship Industrial Complex, the Durham report which makes clear the collusion between the DNC and FBI, and now the testimony of FBI whistleblowers in Congress describing FBI involvement in the Jan. 6 incident (and more). Sure seems to me Cointelpro 2.0 is alive and well.

Ukraine Blows IT,

But the Globalist Grab Continues

Open Thread Image.jpg

The bulk of the analysts I respect blame Ukraine for the dam destruction. Col. Macgregor suggests it was the result of collective damage from Ukrainian shelling and a natural failure. I'll post the various views below the fold. However, everyone is in agreement that the Russians are wiping out the counter offensive troops, arms, and equipment in massive attacks. Russia has taken the gloves off, and the west has run out of replacements, but not arrogance. The globalist grab continues along many dimension from Kerry calling for a reduction in cattle farming to the EU and WHO planning on requiring digital ID's and passports. And finally we have Trump's indictments on charges identical to what Biden has been caught doing storing classified documents in various unsecured locations (like his garage). Do these idiots not understand turn about will be fair play and the Biden crime family will be next?

Creating (Evermore) Control

Open Thread Image.jpg

There's a power grab in plain sight...easy to see for those who look. There's the rapid move toward government controlled digital currency to track your every purchase. TPTB are passing "no protests allowed laws" in some countries. The UN is creating a preponderance of new health regulations in addition to their "Pandemic Treaty". The so called "Green Movement" has become yet another means of control as they require the sale of farmland, dictate the car you can drive, and want to corral you into "15 minute cities". All the levers of control are being driven by a complicit media propaganda megaphone. The Censorship Industrial Complex silences those who reveal their lies with Julian as the most obvious case, and many other examples we'll discuss below fold...

Way Down Upon the Suwannee River
Open Thread Image.jpg

I'm in Florida at the nation's longest running state folk festival. It is held at Stephen Foster State Park in White Springs on the Suwannee River.

The Florida Folk Festival began with the music: It was 1953, and Pete Seeger and the Weavers had a big hit with Leadbelly’s “Goodnight, Irene.” Folk music was exploding with acoustic guitar, coffee houses, banjos, beatniks and sing-alongs. Now some 70 years later, the Florida Folk Festival is still held every Memorial Day weekend, and you’re sure to hear plenty of folk music. But the event has broadened to celebrate Florida’s land, people and diverse cultural heritage. In addition to a full schedule of performances, you’ll find plenty to amuse and educate. The festival focuses on traditional crafts — everything from split rail fences to henna tattoos. And the food is not the same-as-everywhere festival food. Look for blue crab burritos, Jamaican patties, shrimp gumbo or Beulah Baptist Church’s chicken and dumplings dinner.

This year's schedule at the link.

Health is Wealth

Open Thread Image.jpg
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

TPTB are planning to use health concerns to grab ever more power, so we'll start by looking at the UN's pandemic treaty. Also on the table are foods and lifestyles that hurt and can improve our personal health. In both cases a profit driven "sick care" is the root of the problem.
In addition to human health, we'll also dive into the health of societies, nations, and the economy.

Happy Mother's Day!

Open Thread Image.jpg

I think it is a good idea to appreciate those who gave us life and nurtured us in our youth, at least I hope your Mom nurtured you. Today I want to look at the birth of new ideas from new tools of control to new economic alliances to active and brewing conflicts. It has been another busy news cycle this week, so lets get to the stories...

Beginnings and Ends

Open Thread Image.jpg

I won't be around today. We're going to Birmingham to celebrate my Mom's 92nd birthday, and attend our great-nephew's high school graduation party. Given the state of the US, I'm glad to be at an age closer to the end than the beginning. I think regardless of where we are on the spectrum, the objective is to treasure and appreciate every day. In the big picture we are experiencing the end of the US empire, and the beginning of a BRICS+ global system. The West projects onto China its own goal of global domination rather than China's goal of global cooperation. The sun sets in the west and rises in the east.

Seeking Truth...

in a Sea of Lies

Open Thread Image.jpg

Has every war started with a lie? All the US wars in my lifetime were justified by lies... the Gulf of Tonkin and the Vietnam war, WMD's and the Iraq war, the Maidan Coup in 2014 and the Ukraine proxy war, just to mention a few of the wars provoked by lies. What about the Russiagate hoax whose effect continue to this day? Then there's all the lies about the pandemic, from the real risks to the dangers associated with experimental gene therapies to the suppression of effective inexpensive treatments. While we're discussing health let's not forget the lies surrounding recommended foods and the dietary food pyramid. Since the current food pyramid was released in the 1980's obesity has more than doubled. The lies go on and on...

Is it 1984?

Open Thread image.jpg

TPTB are now prosecuting wrong thought and "unacceptable" speech. Four members of the Africa Socialist Party have been indicted for spreading Russian propaganda...in other words, they are speaking out against the Ukraine proxy war. What about the first amendment? Tucker did a short piece (4 min) about it. Aaron and Katie interview a member of the party.

Then there's the guy who has been convicted with a prison term for posting an anti-Hillary meme. That's why I suggest we've arrived in 1984.

The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic language known as Newspeak, which is designed to limit free thought and promote the Party’s doctrines. Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance.

The Bully's Stick is Flaccid

Open Thread Image.jpg

I think we are close to the top of the sanction escalator of economic control, you know the modern day siege we use against countries which won't do our bidding. The USD is quickly being supplanted with 100+ countries de-dollarizing and trading in their own currencies. Lula, while in China this week, questioned the use of dollars. The BRICS+ are establishing their own bank with Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at its head. It will take time for the system to unwind, but there's a new alliance building across the world of countries who see through the hypocrisy of US superiority with the world's largest prison population, homeless filled urban areas, student debt at 1.75 trillion, and medical bills as the number one cause of bankruptcies.
