Just a thought. It is obvious that there is a War Party in the US
and EU that wants to start a war with Russian.
Why is not clear to me, but it is evident they are trying to convince us
to support their efforts, which made me think of this drawing (click on image to see larger version):
And if you don't think this way your are a Putin Dupe, a spy, or worse. Logic is strictly forbidden at the present time because "Ignorance is Strength". Now, carry on and keep consuming.

However, if you insist on doing some digging on your own and see what the other side of the story is, here are some
sources to check:
This is an animated summary video of the book Propaganda written by Edward
Bernays. He was Sigmund Freud's nephew and successfully applied many of the psychological principles for mass persuasion. He is seen by many as the father
of public relations.
"Public Relations" is just another word for Lies.

After watching the short video (8:30), can you see the same machine doing the same work in the present time?
The same technique, lies and the Media, lies and Media, over, and over again.
These people are a one pony show.
Shouldn't we all be talking about it?
Sincerely,
Bob
BTW, the drawing is one frame from a new story from Ms Little I am presently drawing. I just thought this drawing deserved it's own space.
This is just my attempt at rationalizing the incredible role reversal we are witnessing. I mean, really! It is now legal for the governmental agencies to do propaganda withing the USA. Check this article from July 2013 in RT:
Domestic Propaganda:"It’s being branded by proponents as an attempt at transparency, but
critics of a new law say the United States government just got the
green-light to use propaganda made for foreign audiences on the American
public."
"Given these events, one
must begin to ask why there was a need for propaganda and PR in the
first place. What is the motivation? Does it seem unsettling that
government and military operations have to go to such lengths to get the
public on their side"
Then in September 2015, from Consortium News, we have:
The U.S. government and NATO have entered the Brave New World of
“strategic communications,” merging psy-ops, propaganda and P.R. in
order to manage the perceptions of Americans and the world’s public"
Knowing this it just makes me think... is this relentless campaign to pin Clinton's loss on the Russians, despite the mounting reports by whistle blowers and others , and here, and here, and here, demonstrating that the information came through an insider. It was a "leak" (9. todisclosesecret,especiallyofficial,informationanonymously,astothenewsmedia:Theofficialrevealedthathehadleakedtothepressinthehopeofsavinghisownreputation), not a "hack" (7.b. tocircumventsecurityandbreakinto(anetwork,computer,file,etc.),usuallywithmaliciousintent:Criminalshackedthebank'sserversyesterday.) Yet, the campaign continues. Now that the Intel agencies have briefed Trump and the public on the Russian campaign to derail Hillary's presidential effort, it turns out, again, that they are not giving any evidence to prove their claim. (I like Sputniks response to the report:
Are we witnessing "domestic propaganda" in action?
And more importantly, how would we know?
* * *
Isn't this what we supposedly fought the Soviets for? Isn't this a complete role reversal from what we were told we were fighting for? How did that happened?
Beats me. But I like the Maya view of the end of an epoch and the beginning of the next, in which everything changes. Perhaps that is what we are witnessing. Who knows? We will not know until it has already happened.
Meanwhile, we have this phenomenon of Trump. I don't know what he's going to do. I don't know him. But I do believe that he is in a new and very unique place in the unfolding of our history.
Since he is not beholden to any of the American oligarchs, he could break away from the Wolfowitz Doctrine* "a world dominated by one
superpower whose position can be perpetuated by constructive behavior
and sufficient military might to deter any nation or group of nations
from challenging American primacy." which has dominated the US Foreign Policy since Jr was president.
He could stop this mania of regime change pursued by the Neocons. "The “neocons” believe American greatness is measured by our willingness
to be a great power—through vast and virtually unlimited global military
involvement." (Neocons: the War Party)
The potential to change the disastrous course the US has taken is there, but whether he will take it, or be permitted to pursue such action, will only be revealed by time, but we can be certain that the opposition to any of his policies will be continued. With the Main Stream Media continuing their campaign of "fake news" of their own making, it will be up to the people to evaluate the degree of truth coming through the various communication means. Fortunately there are many sources of verifiable information from the other side of the Establishment's story-line.
From these web pages you can find many other sites that are doing real investigative reporting. There are many of them. These are just a couple of my most visited sites:
Corbett Report. For ongoing "open source" investigations.
The Saker, The Unz Review, Club Orlov, The Tom Dispatch... there are many, many, places where you can find the view from the other side of the story, and check which narrative is closer to your reality. It is just not going to be given to you by the Establishment media. This is why they call all these outlets "Fake News", but a little due diligence in our part, will soon show who the real "Fake News" purveyors are.
Now that the face of the Deep State is becoming visible, we should be able to have a better chance of actually having a real Democracy.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
Bob
* Apologists for the current policy claim that the Wolfowitz doctrine was not adopted by the US government. That is was changed due to the public outcry against it, however, "actions speak louder than words", and the actions of the US government since then have demonstrated that that very policy is at work, to the present time. Only this can explain the current drive for war with Russia.
I don't know about you, but to me, things are getting very strange out there.
From a variety of trains of thought, political, archeological, physical, historical, biological, financial, astrophysical, and many others, I get the impression that we are at the cusp of a very fundamental change in our way of looking at our world. I hope to be able to make a cartoon story of each one of these lines of thought.
* * *
This one is a cartoon story about what I see happening before my eyes. My family thinks I'm just the victim of a TOO active imagination. But I don't think so. So, I want to provide links to the information that makes me think so.
I am looking forward to your feedback and hope we can have a conversation about what we see happening around us. I am of the thought that we all hold a small part of the truth, and that if we share it, we will become better able to see and understand what is really happening out there.
I am posting this because I believe it is true when we were told
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
And on that note,
and to celebrate that birthday,
Here's wishing you a
Most Happy, Prosperous, and Loving
!!!
Sincerely,
Bob
So here it is. The Further Adventures of Ms Little
1- The Dam is Breaking!!
(These are the "conspiracy theorists" who are not swallowing the official version of reality.)
(this is Ms Little's version of "chopping wood, carrying water")
===================================
The institutions that were once meant to protect the health and well being of the citizenry has deteriorated into a cruel method for personal enrichment and abandonment of their duty. Here are some examples of the Revolving Door racket.
* * *
Every time there is a story with information that opposes the veracity of the story that the Establishment wants us to believe, it is immediately slapped with a "conspiracy theory" label which, up until very recently, has been very effective in stopping most people from believing the information.
It has lost its effectiveness (this is why they've introduced the "fake news" as the new threat)
Why did it loose it's effectiveness? Mostly because too many of them turned out to be true :-o
The label was invented in the CIA to discredit any of the investigators looking into the inconsistencies of the JFK murder report. It has worked very well for many years. But it has lost it's effectiveness. The Internet, with all its drawback and problems, has come to the rescue. It is now possible to check a variety of sources to find the story that fits our reality.
* * *
This is just my impression, that Truth is Real, and has power behind it. This I get from the resent "peasant", "redneck", "deplorables", and other "little peoples" revolts happening all over the world. They are all sticking it to their respective Establishments. To me it simply means that that old and most effective tool of control our "betters" have been using for thousands of years, that is, FEAR, is not working any more. We are looking more around our communities to get a sense of what is happening, what is real, what is true, and relying less on the stories coming from the centralized perception filtering system of the Establishment, better know now-a-days as the Deep State.
Now we have a rudimentary species wide, nervous system in the Internet, and it will keep growing organically to include more and more of the species. Like nodes in the species brain. (but, I digress, this is the subject for a future cartoon)
For now, we can have a reality check with many people around the world. We can not be bamboozled into a war as easily as it has been done in the past several thousands of years. And they seem to be in a panic now that their sure thing is not so sure anymore. The introduction of "Fake News" as a replacement for "Conspiracy Theory" is the latest attempt to keep us from looking around, and it seems to me like an act of desperation.
(I mean... really?... they do expect someone to believe this latest sheep clothing custom stunt? My word! They really are a 'one pony show'.)
With means of communication (perception) that go around the Establishments filtration system, we have a better chance to see other peoples perceptions too, and, I believe, we will be pleasantly surprised, because what we'll find is that
1- Is it possible
to
know what is going on in this USA election?
Maybe...
A very unexpected
path is beginning to come into view.
On October 30
this
below post came out in which Charles Hugh Smith claims that the
'Deep
State' has come out against Hillary, or at least a faction of
it. His
arguments are convincing. In August he had already posted a
message
asking "Could the Deep State Be Sabotaging Hillary?". He is
a keen observer.
2- On Nov. 2nd
the
bellow article asserting that US insiders were the source of the
email leaks. They quote several NSA whistle-blowers talking
about the
leaks not originating in Russia but within the intelligence and
law
enforcement communities and "They are trying to release
documents and info to stop the Clinton Inc. Machine". This was
back in February. The article ends with a video of one of them
stating that this is a "counter-coup".
3- This is the
guy
that states that the Clinton's had carried out a coup through
their
massive corruption of the political machine, as revealed by the
leaked emails. (The theft of Bernie Sanders presidential race,
complete support of the media, talking heads and pundits, think
tanks, banks and corporations, etc.)
I must say that a
very large part of the establishment's allegiance to her is from
the
aversion caused by what they think Trump is.
In any case, the
guy
below says that many in the intelligence and law enforcement
communities, who, as you know, are part of the Deep State, have
decide that they need to stop the Clinton's from taking
presidential
power through an undemocratic process (the theft of Bernie
Sanders
race) (my assumption) and they are doing it by releasing the
emails
through Wikileaks to exposed the degree of corruption that has
occurred. This because the higher ups of their respective
institutions have prevented the enforcement of the law on them,
the
Clinton's.
4- On October 31,
Pepe Escobar came out with the article below, in which he
exposes the
reality of the supposedly mythical "Deep State". He quotes
his source as saying: “the FBI reversal could not have happened
without orders above the President. If the Masters [of the
Universe]
have changed their mind, then they will destroy Hillary.”
"As bad as it is the folks above the President make the decisions.
They may have decided on Trump. These things do not happen by accident."
Thus spoke a high-level US business mover and shaker with secure transit
in rarified Masters of the Universe-related circles, amidst the utter
political chaos provoked by head of the FBI James Comey’s latest
bombshell.
It’s virtually established by now that US Attorney General Loretta Lynch
told Comey not to release his letter to Congress. But Comey did it
anyway. If he had not, and a scandal would – inevitably – spring up
after the US presidential election, Lynch would be perfectly positioned
to deny she knew anything, and Comey would be on the firing line.
Lynch is a certified Clinton machine asset. In 1999 then-President Bill
Clinton appointed her to run the Brooklyn US Attorney’s office. She left
in 2002, taking the private practice revolving door. She was back to
the Brooklyn office in 2010, urged by Obama. Five years later she became
the 83rd US Attorney General, replacing the dodgy Eric Holder.
A plausible case has been made that Comey took his fateful decision
based on a serious internal revolt at the FBI – led by key people he
trust — as well as being egged-on by his wife.
Yet one of the key questions that refuse to go away is why the FBI
waited until 11 days before the US presidential election to supposedly
"find" an email trove on certified sexting pervert Anthony Weiner’s
laptop.
A Deal With Donald?
What to Expect From FBI's New Probe Into Clinton's Emails
The business source, although unsympathetic to the Clinton machine,
especially in foreign policy, is a realpolitik practitioner, not a
conspiracy theorist. He is adamant that, “the FBI reversal could not
have happened without orders above the President. If the Masters [of the
Universe] have changed their mind, then they will destroy Hillary.”
He adds, “they can make a deal with Donald just like anyone else; Donald
wins; the Masters win; the people think that their voice has been
heard. And then there will be some sort of (controlled) change.”
What’s paramount in the whole soap opera is the faith in the US
political system — as corrupt as it may be — must endure. That mirrors
the faith in the US dollar; if confidence in the US dollar fails, the US
as a hegemonic financial power is no more.
The source is equally adamant that, “it is almost unprecedented to see a
cover-up as extensive as Hillary’s. A secret meeting between Bill
Clinton and the Attorney General; the FBI ignoring all evidence and
initially clearing Hillary to near rebellion of the whole of the FBI,
attested to by Rudolf Giuliani whose reputation as a federal prosecutor
is unquestioned; the Clinton “pay for play” foundation. The Masters are
troubled that this is getting out of hand.”
The record shows that “the Masters do not usually have to go to such
lengths to protect their own. They did manage to save Bill Clinton from
the Monica Lewinsky perjury and keep him in the presidency. The Masters
were not attacked in this case. They even got away with the 1987 cash
settlement crash and the theft surrounding the Lehman debacle. In all
these cases there were no overarching challenges to their control, as we
see now open to the public by Trump. They antagonized and insulted the
wrong man.”
All Aboard the Huma Train
Hillary Clinton is not at the center of Comey’s jaw-dropping October
Surprise; it’s actually her right-hand woman and ersatz “daughter” Huma
Abedin. This early January essay on Huma Abedin contains plenty of
nuggets out and about – some of them positively eyebrow raising.
In case Hillary Clinton becomes the next President of the United States
(POTUS), Abedin, alternatively known as Princess of Saudi Arabia, will
most likely become Hillary’s chief of staff – the power behind running
all White House operations.
A glimpse of the FBI-Huma Abedin connection is available here. Abedin
was granted Top Secret security clearance for the first time in 2009,
when Hillary named her deputy chief of staff for operations. Abedin
later said she “did not remember” being read into any Special Access
Programs (SAPs).
It’s crucial to remember that one of Abedin’s emails was
huma@clintonemail.com. Crucial translation: she was the only high-level
State Dept. aide whose emails were hosted by the notorious Subterranean
Clinton Email Server – which she claimed she didn’t know existed until
she heard about it in the news.
Abedin swore under oath in a lawsuit brought against the State Dept. by
Judicial Watch that she had handed over all of her laptops and smart
phones that could host emails relevant to the Subterranean Email Server
investigation.
That may not have been the case. The laptop at the center of Comey’s
bombshell was shared by Abedin and her husband Wiener before they split.
If Abedin lied, she could face up to five years in jail for perjury. As
if the whole illegal email-cum-sexting saga was not sordid enough, the
“climax” now seems to have turned into a mixed wrestling match between
the former couple, with the big “prize” being the slammer.
The FBI has finally obtained a warrant and is now frantically searching
no less than 650,000 Abedin emails found on sexting freak Wiener’s
laptop; the objective is to exactly determine which ones came from the
Subterranean Email Server.
As if this was not demeaning enough, the FBI continues to conduct an
investigation on the Clinton Foundation. As former Assistant Director of
the FBI Tom Fuentes said, “The FBI has an intensive investigation
ongoing into the Clinton Foundation…the investigation would go forward
as a comprehensive unified case and be coordinated, so that
investigation is ongoing and Huma Abedin and her role and activities
concerning Secretary of State in the nature of the foundation and
possible ‘pay to play’, that’s still being looked at now.”
Whatever happens until election day, US voters will have to consider the
startling fact they may choose a next POTUS that is the subject of a
wide-ranging “comprehensive unified” FBI investigation.
A Rotten, Rigged System?
A former federal public corruption prosecutor volunteers a plausible take on Comey’s action. In a nutshell, FBI agents investigating Weiner’s
sexting – and they are a different set of agents investigating
Emailgate — saw evidence of State Dept emails on his laptop. Comey knew
he needed a search warrant to comb the emails at Wiener’s computer. So
he pre-empted the – inevitable – subsequent hype by “sending out a
vague…letter to the Hill” that in the end left everyone even more
confused.
That interpretation though may be only scratching the surface. Deeper
and deeper, it seems that Comey’s decision was really precipitated by
the senior FBI agents’ insurgence – fed up with the “extreme
carelessness” Hillary cover-up. They’ve got to have some surefire
material on the Clinton (cash) machine that never saw the light.
Comey could have just waited to say something after the election; after
all the FBI maintains they had checked all Clinton emails, including
deleted ones, not to mention the Podesta emails. So the emails on
sexting Wiener’s laptop may be no more than a limited hangout.
A much more plausible explanation is that Comey had to do it not only
because of the FBI internal revolt (or because he had an urge to upstage
WikiLeaks?) He had to do it because the rot goes way beyond the Clinton
“pay to play” racket and involves virtually the whole system, from the
deep recesses of the Obama administration to the War Party scam, the
Department of Justice, the CIA and the FBI itself.
What next? Brace for impact; it may well be the ultimate November
Surprise."
So, is it like
Pieczenk says is happening? That a counter-coup is occurring?
Without
guns or armies, but by the release of information?
It seems like it
is.
Only time will tell.
In my next
message
I'll link a page from a cartoon story about this subject I've
been
working on :-)
This has been a technique used by the elite from
the time before Plato up to the present. There are many examples, but for
brevity sake I will start from the recent past.
In the US the war between the North and South was
not a “Civil War” but a “War of Secession” and it was fought
for economic reasons. (“The
War of Northern Aggression was about tariffs and northern
economic imperialism. The North was protectionist. The South was free
trade. The North wanted to finance its economic development by
forcing the South to pay higher prices for manufactured goods. The
North passed the Morrill Tariff which more than doubled the tariff
rate to 32.6% and provided for a further hike to 47%. The tariff
diverted the South’s profits on its agricultural exports to the
coffers of Northern industrialists and manufacturers. The tariff was
designed to redirect the South’s expenditures on manufactured goods
from England to the higher cost goods produced in the North.”)
Lincoln did not believe blacks were equal to whites and did not
oppose slavery (Debating
Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln said, “I am not, nor ever
have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes nor of
qualifying them to hold office nor to intermarry with white people;
and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical
difference between the white and black races, which I believe will
forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and
political equality.), yet, the popular myth promotes him as a
defender of human rights and liberator of the slaves.
The myth about WWI blames the German militarism
for the horrors of that conflagration. For a 100 years we've been
told thus and it is now an unquestioned “truth”, yet, a new study
of the facts show the truth to be the exact opposite. “Men who saw
the rapidly developing economic, commercial and industrial power of
Germany as a threat”. (If you are sympathetic to the view that
Germany
was responsible for the war and that Britain and her allies
fought for the noble cause of saving civilization from German
tyranny, we invite you to consider the possibility that you have been
misled. We too were once convinced of Germany’s guilt, but having
studied the war in minute detail for many years are now firmly of the
opinion, and confident we can prove to you, that it was not Germany
to blame, but a secret coterie of immensely wealthy upper-class men
in Britain. Men who saw the rapidly developing economic, commercial
and industrial power of Germany as a threat to their secret plan to
bring the entire civilized world under the control of the British
Empire.)
Our entry (USA) into WWII is also a myth that is
continuously promoted by our social elite. FDR knew it and the
military chain of command did also. (Comprehensive research has
shown not only that Washington
knew in advance of the attack, but that it
deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii
in the hope that the "surprise" attack would catapult the
U.S. into World War II. Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of
Production, stated in 1944: "Japan was provoked into attacking
America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that
America was forced into the war.)
After WWII George Kennan, considered one of the
architects of post war foreign policy, proposed that we should
dispense with any sentimentality and unrealistic goals as “human
rights and democratization”. That the US should only make alliances
that will insure the maintenance of “our” wealth. (From
0:56 to 1:59 “with 50% of the world's wealth but only 6% of
it's population we, can not fail to be the object of envy and
resentment our real task is to devise a pattern of relationships
which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity to do so
we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming, we
should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives such as human
rights the raising of the living standard and democratization we are
going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are
hampered by idealistic slogans the better.” (Sorry, I can only send
you to a segment of my own production since the video has been
removed from YouTube)) Although Kennan was speaking about South East
Asia specifically, subsequent actions from the US government have
shown that the establishment took him at his word, as demonstrated
by the number of covert actions since the war, and alliances
with wholly undemocratic and totalitarian regimes around the world.
This, of course, without being made explicit to the public at large.
To us, we were always fighting for Democracy, Liberty, Human Rights,
and so on and so forth.
Lie 1.
a
false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an
intentional untruth; a falsehood.
“Noble Lie” has been used very effectively to
compel the population into actions and support of what the elite want
to carry out in the political sphere. However, it wasn't until the
early 20th century that the “Noble Lie” entered into the realm of
commerce becoming the industrial strength manipulator that we have at
present. It has now become routine and accepted as normal to lie in
order to promote a commercial product. It was Edward Bernays, among
others, who promoted the use of new psychological principles
developed by his uncle Sigmund Freud. Bernays wrote: “If we
understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not
possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will
without their knowing it?” (Propaganda
by Edward Bernays, pg. 47) Apparently it is, since we
have all become mindless consumers feeding the coffers of
multi-national corporations.
This practice of lying has now spread to academia
and science where results of experiments depend on who is funding
them (The
New England Journal of Medicine is not alone in featuring
research sponsored in large part by drug companies — it has become
a common practice that reflects the growing role of industry money in
research.)
In my view all these lies revolve around the
acquisition of money by the protagonists. It has nothing to do with
the cohesion of the social order. The lies remain as “insider”
knowledge. It is easy to surmise why the upper echelons of the elite
would want to keep it hidden, but why would the middle rung people
want to remain silent? Again, it is money. These middle rung
individuals are the academics, administrators, scientists, editors,
reporters, officers, etc. who facilitate the maintenance of such
lies, and they risk their salaries, funding and all economic benefits
that come with their position.
A case in point is the very factual and logical
data presented by over 2,000 members of Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, experts on the construction AND
destruction of buildings, and Pilots
for 9-11 Truth, professional experts in the aeronautical
field, which demonstrates the impossibility of the official story of
the event. These and several other similar organizations are
studiously ignored by the mainstream media. This indicates that the
Media is under the control of the elite and they are protecting the
“Noble Lie” so that we can continue supporting whatever unstated
agenda they are pursuing.
The lie is held from disclosure by the money that
binds those who keep it secret.
My question then is, could there be an economic
system designed where truth would be the most highly rewarded
attribute?
The problem with fortresses built on sand is that they will come down as soon as the tide comes in. As for our present social structure, we can see that the tide of truth is rising everywhere, so we know what to expect.
