Universal Human Control System: Defining Us Against Them.

In the battle of  Us against Them, we are led to believe "Us" is the United States, while "Them" is any country who "hates us for our freedom". Nothing could be further from the truth. The  NSA snooping scandal , the tip of a very dark and very large iceberg, makes that very clear. 

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),   Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), and Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China (MSS), amongst many other global powers, have spent decades working together to spy on the whole world and they don't give a damn about you or your right to privacy. So who is "Them"? They, the fraction of a percent of international rulers working together to spy on us, the 99.9%, and that's the way it's always been. The only difference is now, they are allowing us in on the big secret. Why? Because it's too late to do anything about it. The grid designed to control and incarcerate Us is already in place, its tentacles deeply embedded. There is no place left to hide.

Now, the ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the NSA phone spying program, but that's like applying a band-aid to a sliced jugular vein. It will only attack one tentacle of this giant octopus. Aside from the NSA, who has over 50 unaccountable subcontractors that do most of the dirty work, the NSA being only a small part of the huge intelligence apparatus.  The DIA has a budget ten times the size of the budgets of the CIA and FBI combined and has 100 times the employees of the CIA and FBI combined. There are 13 intelligence agencies in the community and all but two or three are military intelligence. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, National Reconnaissance Organization--in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellite--the National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Industrial Securities Command, the largest internal police force in the US, started to guard the Manhattan Project.

And let's not forget about L.U.C.I.D. (Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray Intensity Detector), or as Dr. Jean-Paul Creusat, L.U.C.I.D.'s designer said, Logical Universal Communication Interactive Databank. an advanced computer technology, global control system. It will be ready for launch " in the Autumn of 2013," according to Langston Star Centre.

Why are they creating this huge Big Brother monster?  Well, to make us happy, of course.

To make the people happy, their ideas must be reconstructed, laws must be changed, morals must be changed, men must be changed, things must be changed, yes everything must be destroyed, since everything must be remade." -- Frenchman Rabaud de Saint Etienne, a French revolutionary.
Remade into what? A system of universal slavery? An electronic prison camp or electronic internment camps to incarcerate us all as human resources for the state?  

In other words, it's us, the global 99%, against them, the mostly unelected international ruling .01%.
In the booming surveillance industry they spy on whom they wish, when they wish, protected by barriers of secrecy, fortified by billions of pounds worth of high, high technology.

The Best Connected Company in the World.

A revealing documentary about the international world of private equity banking.

The Carlyle Group, one of the largest investment banks in the world, is based in Washington and has accumulated its capital mainly by investments in the defence industry. On their list of employees are people like Lou Gerstner (former chairman of IBM), George Bush Sr., James Baker III, John Major (former British Prime Minister) and Fidel Ramos (former Prime Minister of the Philipines). The Carlyle Group invests in areas that are closely tied to government policy: aero space and defense, telecom, real estate, health care and the banking business. With 16 billion dollar under management they have the reputation of being the best-connected company in the world. Their list of private investors include George Soros, the Saudi Royal Family and the Bin Laden Family. How does the Carlyle Group operate, who are the people behind the Carlyle Group and how much power does Carlyle have? This film explores the fine line between the conflict of interests and a new global way of doing business.

Provoking Revolution While Rapidly Ramping up the Internal Security Apparatus.

I have a collection of National Geographic magazines that date back to the late 1950s. Sometimes it's interesting to go back and read old articles to see how far we've come, or, in some cases, how much we've apparently stagnated.  For instance, in the case of "remote sensing", which basically means gathering information about things from enormous distances made possible by radiant energy traveling in visible and invisible wavelengths. What I mean is, that gauging from the 1969 article, "Remote Sensing: New Eyes to See the World" [National Geographic Jan.1969: 46-73] which explains the revolutionary technology at the time regarding the development of surveillance--hot and cold-war reconnaissance--that enables a far greater ability to probe the mysteries of the world, from what they're telling us, our capabilities have not progressed all that much in four decades. 

This is especially apparent in the unexplained fate of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, where the plane supposedly vanished from radar screens on March 8 with 239 people aboard. One would think, considering the exponentially growing security and defense surveillance industry, that we would've surpassed the satellite and radar technology available in the late 1960s. That by 2014, it would be impossible for a huge state of the art Boeing 777-200 to disappear from the face of the earth.

They tell us, at present, only 10% of the Earth's surface has radar infrastructure, leaving huge gaps in coverage in places like certain regions of Australia, deserts or oceans.

I mean, it's no secret that the technology we see in use today is decades behind what has actually been developed behind closed doors.  And I suspect even less is disclosed to the general public today than it was back then.  You know, the progressive dumbing down of America. What you don't know can hurt you.

Which makes the fact that police are employing Predator drone spy planes on the home front even scarier. What's more, these killer drones were launched to track down cow thieves.  Really?  Couldn't they have waited for something a little more dreadful sounding than the mystery of six missing cows? It sounds like a job for Nancy Drew, not predator drones, capable of the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians.

There is no doubt that our current administration is overly concerned about "homegrown terrorism" as it continuously ramps up ways to fight it.  But at the same time, it's heavy handed wars on everything from drugs to terror to crime is exactly what's creating more terrorists, here and abroad.  Not to mention, the definition of a terrorist gets broader everyday.

Consider for a moment, Fox News telling its listeners to educate themselves on whom their real enemies are: the political elites inside the beltway. Of course, that's true; however, when Fox News, an establishment mouthpiece of the first order, is dispensing this kind of advice, you've got to question the motive. Are they fueling the fire? If so, why?

The Fear of Appearing Soft on Defense is What's Soft.

The pentagon’s budget this year, adjusted for inflation, is the highest it's been in 60 years. By the end of this year, the US will have spent ¾ of a trillion dollars on defense.

Despite huge military inefficiency, no one has ever lost an election by promising to "strengthen" our defense by spending more. On the other hand, if a political candidate tells the truth, and claims he can make keep our defense strong, possibly making it stronger by spending less on the defense budget, he appears "soft" on defense. Living with the constant fear of appearing soft on defense is what is soft, especially when that taxpayer money literally does nothing but waste time and money, building up the military industrial complex.

Let’s say one of the Bush twins bought $5,000 of Lockheed Martin stock - biggest defense contractor in America - on September 10, 2001; her initial investment would be worth over $20,000 today. Lockheed Martin, along with other defense contractors, bank on the US government spending most of its federal budget on military projects, some of which have turned out to be totally useless, and the amount spent could have easily funded universal health care a few times over.

Take the F22 Fighter jet program, the most expensive jet in history, with a $330 million price tag, originally designed to fight the Soviets. According to Government Accountability Office (GAO), the original plan scheduled the first aircraft to be operationally deployed in 1996. After 25 years of expensive development, this jet has finally reached what the US defense department calls “full operational capability", meaning it’s ready to go to war.

Well, it's a little late as we have not used the F-22 fighter jet and have no plans to do so further down the road. The best part of all is that F-22 Fighter Jet Program is still very much alive and kicking.

Why is the F-22 program, which has already cost taxpayers $65 billion dollars, still kicking? The answer, as is the answer to many programs we needlessly spend money on, is political clout.

"Lockheed Martin represents tens of thousands of employees in 45 out of 50 states. When you have political clout like that behind you, it’s pretty simple to convince members of congress that continuing a program like that is important to their constituencies. – Christopher Helman, an analyst at the Center for Arms Control
Winslow Wheeler, forced to step down as a staffer on the Senate budget committee after he published an article on bloated defense spending in 2002, reported the GAO recommended no further funding for the F-22 Program until the Department of Defense can provide relevant justification which it could not do.

Many budget analysts estimate big ticket items will drive and make up more than half of the pentagon's budget. However most of these big-ticket programs (missle defense, naval destroyer, submarines,) provide no real value for counter terrorism operations, so these big ticket security projects become priority when they don’t enhance our security.

I don't think anyone would refer to President Eisenhower as soft on defense, yet a few days after he was inaugurated, he promoted deep cuts to defense spending,
“To amass military power without regard to our economic capacity would be to defend ourselves against one kind of disaster by inviting another.“ – President Eisenhower in 1953

So, why is it that "we the people" equate military strength with dollars spent without demanding accountability for how that money is spent, and more importantly if all that money we hand over does make our military stronger?

Currently, with reports of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan lacking proper armor, equipment shortages, not to mention, shortage of troops overall; it's very obvious that higher defense dollars, does not equal a stronger defense.

Miriam Pemberton, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and Peace and Security Editor for Foreign Policy In Focus, after crunching the numbers, found that the Pentagon could easily fund troops, equipment, maintenance, modernization and even add money for diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and other measures of preventative security and cut the defense budget by 10%.
