The vultures are circling

Obama knows what he is doing. His strategy to save the United States consists in this... Take a bad but "salvageable" economic situation and deliberately make it worse. The scare-quotes indicate that while the system as it stands could have been salvaged for yet another round of bubble economics, such salvation would be temporary, and the next bubble-pop could be severe enough to induce the end of the United States of America. So, then, now is the time to induce a severe depression, while the federal government still has the resources with which to hold the nation together through the times of civil unrest that are coming. Such extreme conditions then will become the spark of real and lasting change.

The above might be said to be the extreme confabulation of a die-hard Obama supporter, exhausting herself in his defence. But it comes with some supporting evidence...

Ulsterman: Economist on Obama - The Most Destructive Force Against The American Economy Today

"It is so bad as to seem intentional."

Obama has always projected ambiguity concerning his identity - is he an insider or an outsider? a Wall St. lackey or a deep cover communist insurgent? Christian or Muslim? Natural born U.S. citizen or a patrilineal British subject? Indeed, he seems to thrive on keeping everyone guessing, and this goes not for not just the "birthers" and the like, but also for the puppet-masters who made him their vehicle. Can his handlers always be certain that he is on their team?

Now he is, after all, a child of the "Secret Team" - as Wayne Madsen has exposed, Obama's father came to the University of Hawaii as part of a covert CIA sponsored foreign exchange program. The rational of this program we can read of in portions of a May 15, 1959 Presidential committee report detailing the expansion of military assistance programs (MAPs) overseas to include civil service recruits. As L. Fletcher Prouty describes it in The Secret Team:

Early in this thirty-three page report the committee made a key point. It stated that the new training programs... included a first entry into the undergraduate study field. Meanwhile, the geographic emphasis of the International Educational Exchange Service shifted away from Europe to the underdeveloped countries... The Agency and the military had established their positions in and around the recipient countries, and now they were going to exploit these positions at will. - Pg. 435

And so came Barack Hussein Obama Sr. to the U.S. where he met Stanley Ann Dunham in a Russian language class, the two subsequently conceiving future POTUS 44 B.H.O. Jr. on the occasion of the election of John F. Kennedy as POTUS 35. B.H.O. Sr. however became an absent father, leaving the child searching for father-figures to replace him (as recounted in his Dreams From My Father); one of whom, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist - just the sort of insurgent that the IEES was intended to counter (or just the sort of "insurgent" the CIA could employ).

It often does seem that Obama is solidly in the CIA/Wall St. insider camp (Alex Jones's The Obama Deception being the piece de resistance for this thesis), even as Glenn Beck can make a somewhat convincing case for his covert allegiance to the Chicago commie crowd. Perhaps Barack Obama is simply schizophrenic on this score. Or perhaps (we can hope) he has epiphanied, rejecting his "birth-right" and is carefully plotting the downfall of the Secret Team, while not doing so in such a flagrant way that will get him physically assassinated (as with JFK).

In any case, it is becoming increasingly evident that the vultures are now circling around Obama, as they craft controlled aversive environments with which to carry out a psychological assassination...

Obama Mad?

And we're not just talking about LaRouchePAC anymore. On the one hand we have have a "White House Insider" - evidently a Clinton loyalist - who has been feeding us little tidbits about Obama's mental state...

Ulsterman: White House Insider - "They were in shock at the president's behavior"

Not long ago, the president took a meeting. He’s late, which apparently is becoming more and more common with him. The meeting was almost cancelled. In strolls the president, joking with an aide. He plops down on a sofa, leans over and claps another guy on the back asking how he’s been. Apologizes for being late, says he was “held up”. He laughs some more. The meeting begins. After just ten minutes, during which time the president appears to almost totally withdraw into himself, an aide walks in and whispers something to the president, who then nods and quickly stands up, shakes a few hands and tells another aide to update him later on the rest of the meeting. As the president is walking out he is laughing at something yet again. He asked no questions of those at the meeting – not one. He left after just ten minutes, coming in laughing and leaving laughing. His behavior during that brief time he was there was described as “borderline manic”...

[This] was told to me... by someone who was... there. First hand. They were also left to apologize to the ones left in the room after the president left. Some of these were military. They were not happy. No…that is not accurate. They were pissed. They didn’t say much at the time, but word got back. They were in shock at the president’s behavior.

And indeed it would appear the Military brass/Secret Team are working to sabotage his policies, as becomes evident with the kind of selective leaking found in Obama's Wars, the latest blockbuster of Bob Woodward, the Secret Team's perennial operative "journalist"...

Washington Post (Jack Goldsmith): Our nation's secrets, stuck in a broken system

President Obama sat for an interview with Woodward for the book. He comes across in the book as circumspect, and he expressly refuses, when asked, to discuss classified information. The White House has said recently that the president did not authorize his aides to disclose classified information to Woodward. Still, because the White House clearly gave the green light to cooperate with Woodward, we should not expect a leak investigation anytime soon.

We can even wonder about the loyalty of Obama's Justice Department, whose actions have set-up a race war stoking scandal, as we read again from Ulsterman...

Justice Department Scandal Set to Rock Obama Administration?

During the 2008 presidential election, two members of the New Black Panthers were filmed outside a polling place dressed in Panther garb, with one gentleman brandishing a billy club. A complaint was filed, and an initial investigation showed the Black Panthers as having violated federal voting rights laws. Witnesses testified to the men threatening physical harm and calling a Black Republican poll watcher as being a “traitor” and warning him to not step outside or “there would be hell to pay.” Both men claimed they were “security” for the polling place.

That is when things became a bit more convoluted, and potentially damaging to the Obama administration.

In what appeared to be a simple open and shut case that had already received a default judgement against the New Black Panthers members, who themselves did not contest the charges, the Obama Justice Department dropped the case, citing “lack of evidence.” Then Department of Justice member J Christian Adams was so disgusted by the dismissal he resigned his position from the department, claiming he was told that the department only wished to pursue cases against minorities, not by minorities...

Brace yourselves... Civil unrest is coming, and the Secret Team knows that civil unrest can be most easily exploited by playing the race-card... So don't fall for the race-card ruse, America.

"Gentlemen do not read other people's mail"

Free Speech Provocateurs

Add Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church to the pantheon of free speech warriors. From George Lincoln Rockwell who, in his own words, sent "My ex-beatnik... onto the floor of Congress on opening day in blackface, with top hat, loin cloth and cigar, shouting. 'I'ze de Mississippi delegation, and ah demands mah seat!'" (Pg. 19 of pdf), to Abbie Hoffman's threat to levitate the Pentagon by urinating on it, to Larry Flynt calling the Supreme Court Justices "eight assholes and a token cunt" in their very presence... These merry pranksters are fighting the good fight for the First Amendment. That is, so long as they win... And they have won so far...

But if not...

First Amendment Ruling Destined to Kill Internet Free Speech

The pessimists at Infowars should take comfort however that the Phelps clan seems to know what they are doing, as is evident in the 5 minute summary of the defense before SCOTUS (or the 75 page brief at SCOTUSblog). The patriarch of the family is, surprisingly enough, a celebrated civil rights attorney who admirably represented Kansas minorities (barring one minority of course) in discrimination cases in the 70's and 80's. Moreover, he argued against Reagan's appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican on the grounds of separation of church and state.

While the logic of celebrating dead soldiers because "god hates fags" may be twisted alright (we would imagine God to be more justified in celebrating dead soldiers on account of the use of depleted uranium), these protests seem to be designed to incite the maximum public outrage while remaining strictly within the letter of the law... It might almost seem as if they are provoking the general public to demand the evisceration of its First Amendment.

Let us hope SCOTUS will not take the bait this time, and will again remind the plaintiffs, lest all our speech is held hostage by the most thin skinned among us:

THIS IS AMERICA. DEAL WITH IT.

This of course raises the question: if anthropogenic global warming is taking place, then is all of the emphasis on carbon emissions misplaced? This may not be the only, or even the primary cause of global warming (which seems to be more acute in the higher latitudes). Rather, a significant factor may be found with HAARP, EISCAT and other ionospheric heaters poking holes in Earth's protective layer against solar radiation.

Stevie Nicks and Tyson Chickens

We've all heard the rumour about Stevie Nicks blowing cocaine up her rectum. While a few have apparently tried this method of administration, she denies it:

Q Magazine: Queen of the Stoned Age

"But of course that never, ever happened. That is an absurd statement. It's not true. Maybe that nasty rumour came from the fact that people knew I had such a big hole in my nose, which of course didn't stop me from doing cocaine one little bit..."

Well, perhaps the rumour can also be traced in a convoluted way to an allegation made in The Secret Life of Bill Clinton by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. We know Clinton was a Fleetwood Mac fan. He was also very tight with Don Tyson of Arkansas based Tyson Foods, whose operations were a front - or really, a "back" - for cocaine smuggling and distribution. According to Beverly Weaver, an undercover narc for the Arkansas State Police...

Not that we are so pollyanna as to disbelieve such a thing were possible:

Western Intelligence services (CIA, MI6, MOSSAD) behind Recent Killing of 17 Russians. Russ is Being Severely Punished for Sharing Nuclear Technology with Iran and Selling Weapons to Syria.

But the quote attributed to Russia's North Caucasus envoy Aleksander Khloponin seemed quite extraordinary:

“We will find and punish the organizers of this terrorist act even if they are beyond our borders ; London , Washington or Tel-Aviv . We will not stay indifferent to what’s happening around us. That is why we should be alert and actively resist those who think they can rule our destinies, who do not want our children to have a normal future,”

But the URL cited at rian.ru has nothing of the sort. Checking the quote's provenance, however, we found what appears to be the original, sans "London , Washington or Tel-Aviv" at RT:

Moscow steps up security measures after deadly blast in North Ossetia.

“We should find and punish the organizers of this evil deed. We should not stay indifferent to what’s happening around us. That is why we should be alert and actively resist those who think they can rule our destinies, who do not want our children to have a normal future,”

For a Moscow envoy to make an accusation of Western intelligence operations in the Caucasus is not unimaginable, as there is some precedent...
