We regret to inform you that President Barack Obama signed into law, S. 764, which was the newest manifestation of the DARK Act (Denying Americans the Right to Know).
The DARK Acts were a way to establish federal labeling – i.e. the lack of GM labeling – and would banish all state labeling initiatives under a federal standard.
A brief press release by the White House simply mentioned a list of bills and S. 764, “which directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national mandatory bioengineered food disclosure standard,” was listed at the end. The “disclosure standard” must be an inside joke, because the disclosure involves the consumer having to scan a QR code on a food product to find out about genetically modified ingredients, or call a 1-800 number. These measures might not…
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, it appears to me that we are moving to the extreme in political correctness to the point it is creating children who can no longer rep the very benefits of civilization. Have you seen this latest insanity in Australia where children cannot even clap their hands?
PD
ANSWER: Yes, I agree. Placing a ban on clapping and cheering is just nonsense. Some people are afraid to fly. Should we ban airplanes? There will always be someone offended by something. Either they realize they must bend to society or they cannot function. You cannot demand that society outlaws everything that people find offensive, for there will be no limit whatsoever.
You can get to the point of such political correctness that civilization ceases to exist. Fly into Miami. You will see so many people who speak Spanish but cannot speak English. They are defeating themselves. The very thing that made America great was that we discriminated “fairly” insofar as the last one off the boat could not get a job unless they spoke English. After the first generation, their children spoke English. If you ask an American what they are, they will typically respond something like half-Irish and half-Italian for example. You will rarely see such a combination in Europe. The failure of the EU is their misunderstanding of America. It was not the single currency that made the economy, it was the single language. This puts meat on the bones of the old story of the Tower of Babel.
This is 100% exactly true and what happened I lived it! We broke up all the big companies and sold the assets for a profit — the investment bankers and banks made money while the middle class lost their jobs. The coup de grâce was the Housing bubble which busted in 08 and which was caused by the partnership of the US Congress and the NY banks especially Goldman Sacks.
The biggest worry is that the Clinton’s will put a contract on Julian Assange; it does appear that many who have crossed them have died under lets just say suspicious circumstances.
I understand Sundances concerns for they are very very real; however having side that nothing that we do here and now is going to change the connected world so I guess we just go for it and try and keep in under control and honest.
Obama is now reviewing the ban on military weapons for police after the deliberate attacks on police. Instead of considering prosecuting the bad police, they are preparing to dig their heels in and arm the police to escalate the confrontation between the people and the police. This, unfortunately, is also how Rome ended. It was not that the barbarians invaded, it was the the armies turned inward and began sacking their own cities whoever showed any resistance toward the government (emperor). Once you fragment society and divide the people turning the State against its own, then end is not far behind. This weakens the bonds of civilization and set the tone allowing the barbarians to invade for society broke apart. Within the period of 235AD to the collapse of the monetary system in 268AD, those 33 years saw 14 emperors.
The 224 Year Cycle of Political Change for the United States peaked in 1999 with Bush, Jr. coming to power which marked effectively a puppet President as Dick Chaney really held the reins of power. The slide down was hard and Obama has also been largely an absentee President missing more than 60% of his morning security briefings being more interested in playing golf. The 2016 turning point may mark the shift in power from the Bureaucrats back to a central figure. Keep in mind that certainly Trump will not be like Bush or Obama. Even Hillary will treat the bureaucrats as hired help. So either will be more assertive than what we have seen since 1999. Even gold bottomed in 1999 and has risen since because it is a hedge against government – not helicopter money etc.
Looking at this same model even on Britain, from the very day of the victory of William III at the Battle of the Boyne where he defeated James II, to the very day we have the start of World War I which ended Great Britain as “the” financial capital of the world displaced by the United States, which had been virtually bankrupt in 1896 just 17.2 years before. Note that the declining wave is 72 years. The first low came when Britain abandoned the Gold Standard during the Sovereign Debt Crisis of 1931. There was a modest rebound, but World War II prevented any sustained recovery. They in 1949, Britain was compelled to devalue the pound from $4.03 to $2.80. The next devaluation came in 1967 from $2.80 down to $2.40. Then the pound collapsed to par in 1985.
It was at this time that for the next 4.3 years, Margaret Thatcher saved Britain from being drawn into the euro, which was an idea put forth at the Plaza Accord when the birth of the G5 was established. The idea was that the dollar was too high and that its strength was because it had emerged as the only major world currency. The idea was born that if Europe created a single currency, then there would be a rival to the dollar. This was really hatched in France. Germany saw this as a means to an end to expand its own exports throughout Europe by eliminating the currency risk for its manufacture base.
Thatcher saved Britain but it caused dissent within her cabinet. There were members such as Nigel Lawson who had been at the Plaza Accord who supported moving into a single currency and surrendering the British pound. However, Lawson was a closet Bretton
Woods guy at the time who felt strongly that currencies had to be fixed. He was not so
much a goldbug, but wanted a fixed currency and that would be the ERM followed by the
end goal – the Euro. Geoffrey Howe (1926-2015) was another key cabinet member who clashed with Thatcher also over the Euro. He masterminded the development of new economic policies embodied in an Opposition mini-manifesto. In June 1989, Howe
and Nigel Lawson, secretly threatened to both resign over Thatcher’s opposition to British membership in the exchange rate mechanism of the European Monetary system. Both Howe and Lawson were sold on the ERM and the coming idea of the Euro. They effectively forced Thatcher out of office over this very issue in 1990 and wanted to surrender British sovereignty altogether. Fortunately, they lost and with BREXIT, Britain will not be dragged down with France and Germany.
Very good summary of where we are so if you don’t like where we are vote for Trump in November; Hillary is just more of the same which you do not like.
The mainstream media became far more systemically involved as the government’s tool to spread propaganda after two vital changes were made to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included an amendment that legalized the use of propaganda on the American public.
Our pretend “representatives” in Congress have proven that they do not represent the people, and instead exploit us for personal gain both political as well as monetarily. There had always been an anti-propaganda law that prevented the U.S. government from broadcasting programming to American audiences to politically influence people for political gain.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the prevailing view was that American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding propaganda for American audiences. On July 2, 2013, that law was silently repealed with the implementation of a new reform act. The bottom line: Congress knew what it was doing when it deliberately unleashed thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.
Our “pretend” representatives see no problem with propaganda today. Congress also allowed the repeal of the Fairness Doctrinein broadcasting. They no longer require the mainstream media to tell the truth. Why do our politicians now believe they are entitled to lie, cheat, and use mainstream media to create state propaganda?
The Smith-Mundt Act prevented the government from engaging in propaganda domestically. Nevertheless, that restriction was only applied domestically. The U.S. government always had official propaganda programming produced by the Broadcasting Board of Governors that was only for foreign consumption such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks. The tone and nature always varied, and it was produced for more than 100 countries in 61 different languages. Nonetheless, the scope was always with a political intent. This is clearly against the principles of the First Amendment that the free press was to keep a check against government. Thomas Jefferson maintained:
A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government and is therefore dependent on an educated and enlightened citizenry. On the other hand, newspapers too often take advantage of their freedom and publish lies and scurrilous gossip that could only deceive and mislead the people. Jefferson himself suffered greatly under the latter kind of press during his presidency. But he was a great believer in the ultimate triumph of truth in the free marketplace of ideas, and looked to that for his final vindication.
If anyone needed a reminder of the dangers of domestic propaganda efforts, the past 12 months have provided ample reasons. Additionally, just back in 2012, two USA Today journalists were targeted for reporting about millions of dollars in back-taxes owed by the Pentagon’s top propaganda contractor in Afghanistan. The co-owners of the firm had to confess to creating phony websites and Twitter accounts designed to smear the journalists anonymously. Unfortunately, the government today is very focused on manipulating news and commentary on the internet, including social media. They are pretending to be people posting comments and honest reviews.
Here in this video, former Clinton/Gore political consultant Naomi Wolf explains why we should be skeptical of overly theatrical news stories. She points out that propaganda has become legal thanks to the very people claiming to be our representatives.
