State Department 'Diplomats' Demand War on Assad 
Source: RonPaulInstitute.org
In a move that the New York Times reports is nearly unprecedented, some 51 mid-level State Department employees have signed a letter calling for the Obama Administration to begin bombing the Assad government in Syria immediately. 

Demonstrating the reality that the "soft power" of diplomacy is in fact just a front for the "hard power" of bombs, these "diplomats" demanded the administration immediately initiate:

"[A] judicious use of stand-off and air weapons, which would undergird and drive a more focused and hard-nosed US-led diplomatic process."

Yes, to these supposed trained "diplomats," the "diplomatic process" consists of making final demands after the military has bombed your opponent to hell.

Do citizens (not police officers) with guns ever stop mass shootings?
Source: WashingtonPost.com
1. In Chicago earlier this year, an Uber driver with a concealed-carry permit "shot and wounded a gunman [Everardo Custodio] who opened fire on a crowd of people."

2. In a Philadelphia barber shop earlier this year, Warren Edwards "opened fire on customers and barbers" after an argument. Another man with a concealed-carry permit then shot the shooter; of course it's impossible to tell whether the shooter would have kept killing if he hadn't been stopped, but a police captain was quoted as saying that, "I guess he [the man who shot the shooter] saved a lot of people in there."

3. In a hospital near Philadelphia, in 2014, Richard Plotts shot and killed the psychiatric caseworker with whom he was meeting, and shot and wounded his psychiatrist, Lee Silverman. Silverman shot back, and took down Plotts. While again it's not certain whether Plotts would have killed other people, Delaware County D.A. Jack Whelan stated that, "If the doctor did not have a firearm, (and) the doctor did not utilize the firearm, he'd be dead today, and I believe that other people in that facility would also be dead"; Yeadon Police Chief Donald Molineux similar said that he "believe[d] the doctor saved lives." Plotts was still carrying 39 unspent rounds when he was arrested.

Build a Bug Out Kindle: A Digital Survival Library at Your Fingertips
Source: ArtOfManliness.com
--Here's the good news: survival knowledge weighs nothing.

This is true for those who practice and study survival and preparedness skills on a regular basis. But for those who don't, access to that survival knowledge only has to weigh about 1 pound – the weight of an Amazon Kindle. I'm not at all suggesting that the practice and study of survival skills should or can be replaced by ebooks. However, an entire survival library of information at your fingertips just may be the one survival tool in your Bug Out Bag that saves your life.

5 Reasons To Question The Official Story Of The Orlando Shooting
Source: ActivistPost.com
--Indeed, the FBI has had a long history in creating, organizing and facilitating terrorist attacks in order to bust them at the last minute and claim credit for stopping terror attacks. The FBI also has a long history of investigating, monitoring and interviewing suspects of high-profile terrorist attacks before those attacks were committed but doing nothing about them.

As Tony Cartalucci writes in his article, "US Law Enforcement Knew Florida Shooter BEFORE Shooting,"

'A terror suspect armed to the teeth storming a public place and killing scores is actually a very familiar script. The FBI wrote several such scripts in 2015 alone, including entrapping and arresting a mentally-ill suspect after providing him with an arsenal of deadly weapons almost identical to the arsenal recently employed in Florida.'

Interestingly enough, in the Ciccolo incident that Cartalucci refers to above, the plan which was fed to Ciccolo involved attacking bars, a target that was actually realized in Orlando. Of course, there will be many who will argue that the FBI, while entrapping unintelligent suspects, would never actually let the drill go live it is important to remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing where that is precisely what the FBI did.

COMMENT: This is what it boils down to for me: 

Do the "intelligence services" have the ability to organize these types of psychological warfare operations? (Yes.) Have they done so in other countries? (Yes.) Were the operations effective; did they yield the desired political results? (Yes.) 

Take it a step further: Have the "intelligence services" conspired to use psychological warfare against the citizens and government of the United States? (Yes.) Do the intelligence services regularly "create" and then "disrupt" terror plots, under the guise of "conducting sting operations?" (Yes.) Does this provide them cover; essentially a blank check to cultivate terrorism? (Yes.) 

Now we're getting somewhere...In order to nudge politicians and the public in a certain direction, could the intelligence services periodically "drop the ball" on one of their manufactured terror plots? (Yes.) Would it be wise to consider this possibility; to look for FBI and CIA connections whenever a politically useful event occurs? (Yes.) Last but not least: Is there any logical reason NOT to suspect the intelligence services? (No.) 

"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple…to force these people…to turn to the State to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the State cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened."—Vincenzo Vinciguerra, Gladio-linked terrorist

Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science
Source: TheAtlantic.com
--To get funding and tenured positions, and often merely to stay afloat, researchers have to get their work published in well-regarded journals, where rejection rates can climb above 90 percent. Not surprisingly, the studies that tend to make the grade are those with eye-catching findings.

--Researchers can sometimes win attention by refuting a prominent finding, which can help to at least raise doubts about results, but in general it is far more rewarding to add a new insight or exciting-sounding twist to existing research than to retest its basic premises—after all, simply re-proving someone else's results is unlikely to get you published, and attempting to undermine the work of respected colleagues can have ugly professional repercussions.

--[ Ioannidis] zoomed in on 49 of the most highly regarded research findings in medicine over the previous 13 years, as judged by the science community's two standard measures: the papers had appeared in the journals most widely cited in research articles, and the 49 articles themselves were the most widely cited articles in these journals. These were articles that helped lead to the widespread popularity of treatments such as the use of hormone-replacement therapy for menopausal women, vitamin E to reduce the risk of heart disease, coronary stents to ward off heart attacks, and daily low-dose aspirin to control blood pressure and prevent heart attacks and strokes. Ioannidis was putting his contentions to the test not against run-of-the-mill research, or even merely well-accepted research, but against the absolute tip of the research pyramid. Of the 49 articles, 45 claimed to have uncovered effective interventions. Thirty-four of these claims had been retested, and 14 of these, or
41 percent, had been convincingly shown to be wrong or significantly exaggerated. If between a third and a half of the most acclaimed research in medicine was proving untrustworthy, the scope and impact of the problem were undeniable.

--Though scientists and science journalists are constantly talking up the value of the peer-review process, researchers admit among themselves that biased, erroneous, and even blatantly fraudulent studies easily slip through it. Nature, the grande dame of science journals, stated in a 2006 editorial, "Scientists understand that peer review per se provides only a minimal assurance of quality, and that the public conception of peer review as a stamp of authentication is far from the truth."

COMMENT: Like Pavlov's dogs, the masses have been conditioned to believe in the infallibility of the scientific community. Widely reported "findings" are taken as the gospel, challenges are taken as heresy. Like any other dogma, the purpose is to manipulate beliefs and frustrate scientific inquiry. "Science" is, ironically, becoming the newest faith-based system of control.

You can finally undo the 2012 NDAA "Indefinite Detention" clause
Source: DownsizeDC.org
Back in November, 2011, we told the world -- we told YOU -- that the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) contained a provision (section 1021) that allows the federal state to detain Americans indefinitely, without due process. Congressional leaders repeatedly denied our claim. But guess what...

We were right. They were wrong.  

Key Congressional leaders, such as Dianne Feinstein, now admit this. Admitting you were wrong is commendable. Some of them, such as Mike Lee, Rand Paul and even Feinstein, are trying to do something about it. Specifically, Senator Mike Lee has crafted an amendment for the current NDAA to deal with this problem...

COMMENT: Downsize DC makes it easy for you to contact your "representatives." Here is the message I sent today: 

The Founders never said "Give us safety at any cost."

Indefinite detention violates the core principles on which this country was founded. To think that "government" can simply revoke a person's rights FOREVER by labeling them a "terrorist" (without presenting evidence, without giving the accused an opportunity to defend themselves), is absurd.

Prior to receiving "due process," a citizen is merely an ACCUSED criminal. (Thief, rapist, murderer or terrorist…the crime that an individual is accused of does not alter the process by which guilt is determined.) Any attempt to circumvent due process is dangerous and illegitimate. Please honor your sworn oath to "support and defend" the Constitution of this country. Repeal the detainee provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (Sections 1021 & 1022).

Bilderberg: still powerful but perhaps a bit more anxious this year
Source: TheGuardian.com
It's great for everyone that these high-level talks between policymakers and the heads of transnational oil companies get to take place in heavily guarded privacy, with no press oversight whatsoever. Especially great if you're on the board of BP. Like, for example, Sir John Sawers. As well as being a director of BP, the silken, Blairish former MI6 boss is a member of Bilderberg's steering committee, and the chairman of Macro Advisory Partners, a global advisory group with heavy links to the transatlantic intelligence community, very much in the style of Kissinger Associates.

And speak of the devil! The ageless 93-year-old former US secretary of state will be holding court at Dresden, croaking out his wisdom from the throne of bones he has shipped everywhere he goes. You just can't keep a bad man down. Henry Kissinger still meets with George Osborne to advise the chancellor on geopolitics, and recently had a much publicised meeting with Donald Trump. I would say I'd like to have been a fly on the wall of that room, but I fear Kissinger's tongue would have had me off the wall in seconds.

COMMENT: Like the CFR, like the Trilateral Commission, like the RIIA, the "Bilderberg Group" is yet another creation of the elite "Network" that Quigley exposed in Tragedy and Hope and the Anglo-American Establishment. 

After more than half a century, these annual policy-setting meetings are still largely ignored by the mainstream media. The good news?  The blackout reveals what a completely controlled farce the mainstream media is. (They continue to serve up a never-ending supply of  "national-news" distractions to keep the masses blissfully unaware..)

Flashback: Bayer Knowingly Gave HIV to Thousands of Kids (with Video)
Source: WeAreChange.org
What if a company that you thought you could trust, knowingly sold you a medicine for your child that they knew had the potential to give your child HIV? How would you react? What if a government agency that claims the responsibility for protecting you from such treachery, not only looked the other way, but was complicit in this exchange?

Everyone has heard of Bayer aspirin, it is a household name. Bayer AG also manufactures numerous other products, from pesticides to medicine for hemophiliacs called Factor 8.

In 1984 Bayer became aware that several batches of this Factor 8 contained HIV. They knew this because there was an outbreak of HIV among hemophiliac children, and this outbreak was traced back to Bayer. Unable to sell their Factor 8 in the US, Bayer, with the FDA's permission, (yes that's right, the FDA allowed Bayer to potentially kill thousands) sold this HIV infected medicine to Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore after February 1984, according to the documents obtained by the NY Times.

Ali Won His Greatest Fight (Video)
Source: Ron Paul Liberty Report
Muhammad Ali's refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War was said by some to be his greatest, self-imposed, defeat. With the passage of time -- and so many more wars -- history may tell a very different story. What was the impact of Ali's stance on the war?
