Tyranny is Rising Again

 by

       M. Richard Maxson


      As we enter into 2015, it seems that fewer and fewer Americans are willing to accept or defend the Constitution. Our youth is not being taught the intricacies of this document that changed the world by the Leftist acadamia.  The religious, legal and political roots of this great achievement are no longer reverently taught in high schools, colleges and universities or respected by our government. What all of this underscores is that America has abandoned its roots; we have forgotten history -- our own and also the historical struggle between liberty and tyranny, which furnished the spiritual, intellectual and moral backdrop for the formation of this country.

      In recent decades we have lost sight of the historic achievement that empowered the individual.  The voices that reach us through the millennia and connect us to our culture are being silenced by "political correctness" and "the war on terror." Constitutional protections have been diminished by hegemonic political ambitions. Indefinite detention, torture, and murder are now acknowledged practices of the United States government. The historic achievement of due process has been rolled back. Tyranny has re-emerged.


       The Constitution is a promise about how government power is going to be used. It was drafted to protect citizens from government, not make government bigger and more invasive. It’s a promise written by people who had experienced life under tyrannical government. The lesson they

learned from that and from their knowledge of previous tyrannies was that the most important issue is to wall off government power from our private lives and to make sure that nobody -- not elected officials, not a king, not a dictator -- gets to dictate how we live our lives.” We benefit from the Constitution’s existence nearly every time it stymies politicians’ ambition to control us. This is based on the idea that the people not only have a right to choose their government and control government policy with their votes, but also that there are vast areas of the people's lives that are none of the government's business. Tyranny has re-emerged.

      The Constitution doesn’t authorize government to provide healthcare, education, or welfare. Beyond Constitutional illegitimacy, are these areas “better” because government’s invested billions in pursuing “progress?” Both parties support the Patriot Act and the secret FISA apparatus, which together invade privacy, infringe upon free speech, permit federal agents to write their own search warrants and allow domestic spying on all of us all the time. This demonstrates that our political leaders do not believe that our rights are inalienable, but can be interfered with and regulated by them. They have written laws that literally permit federal agents to do the very acts the Constitution was written to prohibit. Tyranny has re-emerged.
      

      The cornerstone of our culture is the Constitution because without the Constitution, the United States is a different country, and Americans a different people. This is why assaults on the Constitution are assaults on all of us.  Unless we have a radical change in the direction of government -- its size, cost, focus, intrusiveness and rejection of first principles -- and unless we elect people to the government who truly believe the Declaration and the Constitution mean what they say, we will continue our march toward the federal destruction of the presumption of liberty. We fear that if we don't soon turn things around, we will lose the America we love. To that end, we must look back and remember the foundations and timeless principles upon which this nation was built and recommit ourselves to them before it is too late.

Translating Progressive America

By

       M. Richard Maxson


*Doublespeak is language that deliberately disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words.(Webster)


       It is the everyday tool used by the Socialist Left to continue their domination of Western societies.If you listen to their sentences, the speech of the Left can be at times befuddling unless you understand their unique usage of terms.  So that you may better understand Leftist doublespeak in the future, For your preparation in translating we offer the following glossary.   These are some of the more common and/or more recent examples.  You might want to print this and keep it on-hand for those times when you are unable to avoid Leftist doublespeak, which in today's world, is all of the time. It is Progressive in nature and anti-American in context.



A Glossary of Terms

 

Arsenal: (reader submitted) Plural of "Firearm". An arsenal is found in a "Compound".

Assault Weapon: Firearm

Bi-Partisan: Leftist / Progressive, Socialist, Marxist, etc.. Example: Republicans regularly work with Domocrats on "Bi-Partisain" legislation. (Also see Moderate)

Border Security: Racism

Budget Cut: A massive government spending increase that could have been even larger if not for the "Divisiveness" in our society.

Capitalism: (see "Greed")

Change: Socialism. Example: "I am the candidate of 'Change'."

Children: Government. (Variations are, "The Children" and "Our Children") Example: "In our 'Compassion' 'We' are creating this new entitlement program for 'Our Children'." Or; "This new national RFID implant system will help 'Our Children'.

Climate Change: See "Global Warming". Climate change is slightly more flexible in that no matter what happens, it is bad, Liberty is to blame, and socialism, as for all things, is the solution.

Common Good, The: Socialism

Compassion: Deep, warm, heartfelt desire for government intervention against one's neighbors. Example: "'We' must approach all issues with great 'Compassion'."

Compassionate Conservative: 1. (reader submitted) A concept used to allow the government to invade all aspects of life through increased "Resource Allocation" while invoking religious tolerance as a means to garner support. 2. A "Progressive" who has infiltrated the Republican Party so as to garner votes from those who want to destroy the Republican Party as an effective alternative to "Progressive" politics. The majority of Republicans are "Compassionate Conservatives".

Compound: The home of a firearm owner.

Compromise: Letting go of your silly, ignorant and outdated American ideals of Liberty, and moving always in the direction of pure socialism as a way of showing those who want to destroy you that you are not closed-minded, stubborn, silly, ignorant or outdated. You are then closed-minded, stubborn, silly, ignorant and outdated again when the Left wants you to cave-in the next time they want something, which starts approximately three seconds after you last caved.

Conservative: Often thought of as an antonym to "Liberal", it is akin to "Liberal" in the sense that the word cannot be use correctly without qualifiers. To the Left however, it is clearly a dirty word, used to describe a racist, sexist, bigoted, white-trash homophobe who wants to dirty the air, dirty the water, spoil the planet, oppress the working class, torture animals, ruin America's global reputation, start wars, starve "Children" and kick old people out into the streets with no food or medicine, all as a means of self-enrichment. Conservatives with dark skin are especially mind-boggling and egregious creatures, and no "Progressive" can afford to acknowledge their existence without resorting to the "U" term (Uncle Tom), as they consider a dark skin color to be synonymous with a "Progressive" political orientation. (Archaic: One who advocates, or is reticent to depart from, the status-quo.)

Criminal: Victim-- especially a victim of the exploitative middle and upper classes. (No one would ever do anything to hurt anyone else, except when goaded into it by the horrible conditions created by the adherents of "Capitalism")

Dissent: Dissent is a very, very good thing. It is one of the few things worthwhile about America (so long as we are talking about a leftist dissenting with anyone who favors Liberty. In all other cases, see "Divisiveness" below).

Divisiveness: Speaking ill of or disagreeing with socialists or socialism. Divisiveness is one of the worst things in our society today and is largely perpetrated in talk radio, blogs, private conversations, etc., by members of the pig Bourgeoisie. This can be cause for legal action since it could in theory cause other people to question socialists and socialism and thereby harming the Left or a Leftist. (You have no right to harm another person unless that person is being 'Divisive', in which case it is encouraged). (also see "Partisanship")

Economic Justice: Socialism (also see "Social Justice")

Education: Used by itself, the word "Education" refers only to public education, i.e. a government-run, coercively funded system of socialist indoctrination. Example: "'We' must 'Invest' in 'Education' for the sake of 'Our Children's' future. Any other form of teaching must be identified using qualifiers, as in, "Private Education", which refers to a system of promoting "Divisiveness" and "Intolerance".

Fairness: Socialism

Fascist: 1. Opposition to the "Progressive" theories of the Left. Interestingly, since the Fascisti were dedicated Marxists, "Fascist" in Leftspeak applies to anything or anyone that is anti-Fascist, which is to say that the word "Fascist", as many other words in Leftspeak, has the exact opposite meaning from the same word spoken in English. 2. A person who opposes Fascism/socialism/totalitarianism. (Examples; "President Ronald Reagan was a 'Fascist'". In its base meaning; if an average Leftist wants to order a veggie pizza, and you and your friend want a combo pizza, and therefore out vote the Leftist on the pizza order for the fraternity party, it means that you and your friend "...are 'Fascists', Man! That's just tewwtally wrooong, dude!") In the mind of the average Leftist "Fascism" means something akin to "distasteful". In the mind of the more sophisticated Leftist, "Fascist" means "politically distasteful" or "one who is politically at odds with the Left" and is used to describe anything or anyone the Leftist sees as a threat to his Fascist beliefs, anyone and anything the leftist hates, or anyone with whom the Leftist disagrees (no Leftist is capable of understanding the fact that "Fascists" and Leftists comprise pretty much the exact same set of people. World history escapes the Leftist entirely, Google.com notwithstanding). 3. Republican

Fear Monger: One who disagrees with socialists or socialism. Specifically, one who tries to warn others about the dangers of socialism and the attendant loss of Liberty. When the left warns us that Liberty would cause the destruction of the entire planet, they are not "Fear Mongering" because they are motivated only by "Compassion". If you disagree with them, saying that, for example, self defense is a human right, you are paranoid and/or a "Fear Monger".

Fifty Caliber Rifle: The most powerful and terrifying weapon ever devised by the sick mind of man, possessing magical powers of self-will, with wanton mass destruction as its goal, able to take down a jumbo jet, for example, from several miles away with a single shot. No human other than a sadistic murder ever used, wanted, or was even slightly interested in, a "Fifty Caliber Rifle". Due to tragic and inexcusable inaction on the part of legislators, and due to inordinate influence of the merchants of death (the NRA and their henchmen in the gun industry) billions of hardened criminals now legally buy, sell, trade and stockpile "Fifty Caliber Rifles" and are at this very moment poised, looking through the sights of their "Fifty Caliber Rifles", ready to annihilate with a single trigger squeeze, anything that annoys them, or anyone who disagrees with them who is unfortunate enough to hazard to within a ten mile radius of one of these monster killers. Trillions of people, mostly children in kindergartens, are killed every day by "Fifty Caliber Rifles" sold to criminals by illegal gun dealers at gun shows. The NRA celebrates each of these deaths by passing out cigars, brandy, 100-dollar bills and cheap handguns to pre-schoolers.

First Amendment: (see "Unity") Leftists acknowledge the speech clause in the "First Amendment" as critically important, but only for themselves. The religion clause grants "Progressives" the power to ban religious practices or religious symbols they find offensive (though they don't find radicalized Islam even slightly offensive). The "First Amendment" is highly flexible. For instance it does not protect "Divisiveness" in any way whatever, since "Divisiveness" is an obstacle to "Unity" and "Fairness".

Fiscal Responsibility: Confiscating other people's money and spending it for your personal aggrandizement like there's no tomorrow while demanding appreciation and thanks for the fact that you could be doing more of it. Example: "If elected, I promise "Change" and will demand 'Fiscal Responsibility' from Congress."

Free Speech: (see "Dissent", "Divisiveness", "Fairness", "First Amendment" and"Unity")

Global Community: Most of the population of the world lives under some form of socialist tyranny, often very brutal socialist tyranny. Americans have historically lived much better lives due to our relatively higher levels of freedom and Liberty. For this we are to hate America (if anyone is poor or unhappy, it can only be the willful doing of the more prosperous) and we are to strive to make America more like the rest of the world (poor and oppressed) as a show of solidarity, thus achieving the "Global Community" and gaining "Respect" from around the world (also see "Peace").

Global Warming: (see Global Community)

Great Society: Socialist Society

Greed: Striving to produce valuable products and services for one's fellow man, and deliver them through peaceable, voluntary exchange, as the means of elevating one's standard of living and/or satisfying one's self-interests. (see "Judgmentalism" and "Reason") To the Left, "Greed" is responsible for all the evils of the world, and should be tempered with much "Compassion".

Hate: Expressions of disagreement with "Progressives". Archaic; Disapproval of other peoples based on race, color, creed, etc.. Bigotry. (Apparently, disapproval of one's political views now constitutes bigotry, but only if such disapproval is directed at "Progressives".)

Illegal Immigration: A thoroughly meaningless term invented by racists as a means of justifying racist legislation. Attempting to use "Reason" to explain it will reinforce your status as a racist.

Invest: To confiscate and redistribute. Example: "'We' must 'Invest' in Our Children's' future."

Judgmentalism: Thinking for one's self in one's self-interest, i.e. making decisions or value judgments based on principles, evidence, and rational thought. In the eyes of the Left, this is one of worst crimes that could be committed, especially if it results in your becoming a successful American pig. The "ism" is tagged on to indicate that it is to be viewed as an organized culture or movement. (also see "Reason")

Liberal: Socialist. However, this is an impossible term to use correctly without adding qualifiers. Most liberals hate being called liberals and accordingly use this term very rarely. "Liberal" has become an epithet in the eyes of the socialist, either because it implies that one is an advocate of Liberty, which socialists aren't, or because it correctly describes the person as socialist. No one knows for sure which. (Archaic: One who advocates Liberty. Thomas Jefferson would have considered himself a liberal. Today's liberals would consider Thomas Jefferson a "Judgmental" and "Divisive" pig. If he were president, they would engage in "Dissent" with a vengeance.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness: Socialism. Example: "America was founded so as to guarantee 'Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness'."

Loophole: Liberty. Example: "There are too many 'Loopholes' in our legal system." "Gun owners take advantage of the large number of inexcusable 'Loopholes'" etc..

Make A Difference: Use Obfuscation and deception to justify further initiation of force. Example: "I'm majoring in journalism because I want to be able to 'Make A Difference'."

Moderate: A leftist/socialist (in denial). When a leftist wants to be perceived favorably, he'll claim the label "Moderate" so as to lend some degree of credibility to his radical, anti-rights, anti-American position. Example; "As a moderate, my new trillion-dollar government expansion bill has several "Bi-Partisan" elements, including carbon emission limits and increased spending to help with the development of "Our Children". My uncanny ability to reach across the isle has made this fantastic bill possible, and will ensure its passage in the Senate."

Multi-Cultural (reader submitted): 1. Any culture but American culture, i.e. anti-American. The term is used to indicate to other "Progressives" that the speaker believes the Judeo-Christian and capitalist basis of America must be over-ridden with cultures from every unsuccessful backwater on the planet, thereby delivering us into a "Global Community". 2. Tofu, yogurt, cheese, etc., or white mold and green mold, in the same dish.

Need: This wonderfully flexible term can mean anything the socialist wants it to mean and can change from one instant to another. Example: "You have more than you 'Need' so 'We' are going to take it from you and use it for 'Education' and 'Safety' programs that will help with the continued development of 'Our Children'." Leftists continually fantasize about installing themselves as the "Need" police.

New Deal: Socialist Revolution. Example: "FDR gave us the 'New Deal', which will ensure 'Fairness' and 'Social Justice'. Now, for the first time, the 'Rich' will be just as worried as the 'Poor'."

Open Mind: One that unquestioningly embraces socialism as the answer to all things. Example: "'We' must keep an 'Open Mind' when considering economic and social policy."

Partisanship: See "Divisiveness". Leftists are incapable of "Partisanship" because they are motivated only by "Compassion" and concern for the future of "Our Children".

Patriot: One who practices "Dissent".

Peace: The lack of meaningful opposition to socialist, Marxist, Fascist, communist or jihadist military expansionism. Example: "It's time to stand up and fight for 'Peace'". Also see "Unity".

Poor: Someone with less than me who also shares my "Progressive" political views. "Poor" people are a great asset to the Progressive, as they can be paraded in front of cameras at election time as "Victims" of the nasty and dirty capitalists. Someone with less than me who has political views at odds with mine is a stupid, ignorant, backwater hick/hayseed/drunk/yahoo, and probably a "Racist" and a wife beater, who deserves his lower station in life.

Private Property: This is a confusing term to the Left, usually considered a nasty or insulting term. "Greedy" people use it in an attempt to hurt the feelings, or thwart the "Compassion"-inspired activities of Leftists. If a Leftist were to use the term at all it would usually mean; "That for which 'We' have no 'Need' at the moment". A leftist will occasionally slip up and assert his own "Private Property" rights. This is not to be seen as hypocritical as Leftists are never "Greedy".

Profit: Probably the filthiest term in Left-Speak, "Profit" defines value that is stolen from unsuspecting victims of innovation and productivity, and then hoarded for the purpose of toying with the less fortunate as a means of entertainment. The theft takes place through peaceable, voluntary exchange and as such it is the worst form of acquisition imaginable. Properly, acquisition is accomplished either through legislation which threatens the producer with fines or jail sentences, or by way of government subsidy using resources so acquired. "Profit" is always to be pronounced in a spitting, contemptuous, accusing, hateful manner. "Profit" is one of the primary goals of "Greedy" and "Divisive" people and would be illegal if not for a conspiracy of "Special Interests".

Progressive: Socialist. It was once widely believed that progress was that which improved our productivity potential, opportunity and standard of living. In Left-Speak it means a return to the statist/totalitarian/collectivist systems under which people have suffered for thousands of years. Like many of the terms they use, the Left has turned this one around exactly 180 degrees.

Proof: Anything a "Progressive" believes. "Proof" then directly reinforces everything else that a "Progressive" believes. Interestingly (and perhaps fittingly) in computer programming this is known as an "infinite loop" and it typically locks up the program, causing it to reject any and all further input.

Provide: To redistribute or allocate resources that have been extorted from the productive members of a society, giving it to the less productive and the non productive. Example: "'We' must 'Provide' for the General Welfare by ensuring affordable housing for the masses, yap yap yap yap, yapitty yap yap."

Race: This is the first and last thing that a Leftist needs to known about a person. Belonging to a non-white race denotes either "Progressive" thinking, or status as an "Uncle Tom"-- one or the other. Though there are several races that could be termed "white" they are all considered as one, they are almost certainly "Racists" until proven otherwise.

Racist: Anyone who has decided that individuals should be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, i.e. one who does not consider one's race as that person's primary identity factor. Failing to recognize the victim status (the aggrieved status and therefore the legally and socially entitled status) of an individual based purely on race is in itself an act of racist oppression (this typically applies only to black or brown races-- people of other colors are usually exempt from this rule unless they demand otherwise). "Racist" is yet another term that has been flipped upside-down in Left-Speak. (Archaic: One who judges people's character or worthiness based on the color of their skin)

Reason: This word is not used by the Left except when describing it as a "weapon" used against the oppressed classes. Instead, they use the word "Reasonable" as in "Reasonable restrictions" (any restrictions) on your Liberties (see "Compromise" above and learn to be "Reasonable").

Resource: That which is available for confiscation and redistribution. (see "Private Property")

Resource Allocation: The primary purpose of government. The only legitimate "Resource Allocation" is via coercion and extortion. Any other method of Resource Allocation, such as reason and cooperation, constitutes "Greed" and should be discouraged.

Respect: Contempt. Example: "While 'We' and our 'Conservative' colleagues have nothing but 'Respect' for one another, 'We' must strive to put an end to this 'Divisiveness'. "'We' must work together and win more 'Respect' from the 'Global Comminuty'. In so doing 'We' will help to ensure world 'Peace'."

Rich: Better off than someone else and having achieved this status by your own efforts without the involvement of socialists or socialism. Being "Rich" is (or should be) in and of itself, a criminal offense, placing the perpetrator outside the normal protections of the law. (also see "Uncle Tom")

Safety: Existence under strict government oversight and control. Some examples are "Airline Safety", "School Safety", "Home Safety", "Gun Safety", "Workplace Safety", etc.. Example: "It is the job of our elected officials to ensure our continued 'Safety'".

Scientist: Increasingly, this term is used to silence all discussion, debate, and especially "Divisiveness". In this sense, a "Scientist" is one who is enlisted by government interests to place a stamp of approval, under the guise of irrefutability, on socialist programs or laws. Example: "Any legitimate 'Scientist' will tell you that man-made 'Global Warming' is a clear and present danger, and that our 'Safety' must be ensured through swift legislative action in cooperation with the 'Global Community'." Previously, the term "Clergyman" or "God" served a similar purpose, and does so to this day in certain Muslim circles. (Archaic: A person engaged in the scientific process, with full disclosure and peer review, as a means of testing theories and discovering knowledge)

Second Amendment: 1. A piece of irrelevant gibberish written by foolish, old, dead, white, violent, rum-running, tax-dodging, paternalistic slave-owners who wouldn't understand anything about our modern "Global Community" if they saw it first-hand (since repealed by U.S. vs. Miller). It wouldn't apply in today's modern world even if it had any original purpose or meaning, which it didn't. The "Second Amendment" is invoked today only by violent, ignorant, alcoholic, backwoods, gun-happy, sister-humping, neo-Nazi, hate-mongering, anti-government, hairy-backed, crooked-tooth, smelly, white Neanderthals who love destruction and killing as a means of showing their dominance, compensating for their pathetically inadequate sexual prowess and distracting themselves from their own stupidity and illiteracy, or by those who profit from selling the tools of death and destruction to the former. 2. An important article in the Bill of Rights granting the government absolute authority and control over any form of weapon. Senses 1 and 2 may be used interchangeably, or even simultaneously, as desired, without hypocrisy. However, a Leftist would rather never mention, or be bothered with any mention of, the "Second Amendment". Like speaking to a jihadist about Jews, mentioning "The Second Amendment" to members of the Left makes them extremely nervous and can throw them into fits of uncontrollable rage (though this can be richly entertaining).

Selfishness: Thinking of or acting upon that which is in one's interest, or in the interest of one's family, friends, business, etc.. Because "Selfishness" is a bad thing, we must be forced by those in government (who are most wise) into anything and everything that is contrary to our interests. Only through the constant, pro-active and creative initiation of force, then, can we be rid of "selfishness" in the world. Also see "Greed".

Sniper: A person with a firearm or access to a firearm. (This term, as all others used by the Left, is entirely flexible and is used primarily to denigrate or impugn anyone who owns a gun or has a working knowledge of guns.)

Sniper Rifle: Rifle (though this can also mean any firearm).

Social Justice: Socialism (see Economic Justice above)

Social Security: Socialists' security

Special Interest: Any person, group or influence, especially political influence, with which Leftists disagree. "Special Interests" operate only through "Loopholes" that result from an unfortunate and inexcusable absence of legal restrictions.

Sustainable: Under never-ending, complete government control. Examples: "A market-based economy is not 'Sustainable'." "'We' must strive for 'Sustainable' 'Resource Allocation'" etc., ad nauseum.

The People: The government. Example: "...the right of 'The People' to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Tolerance: The free and unopposed reign of socialists and socialism. Failure to tolerate socialists and socialism is something that should not, and will not, be tolerated.

Uncle Tom: Any American having even the slightest recognizable black African ancestry who is not a lock-step "Progressive", i.e. a "Judgmental" dark-skinned American. Example: Clarence Thomas, having been indoctrinated in "Divisiveness" and being incapable of "Tolerance", is an "Uncle Tom" and is therefore the lowest form of vile scum on the planet. (Archaic: A slave who worked in favor of the slave-owner and against fellow slaves.)

Unity: Similar to "Peace", unity describes a situation in which all opposition to socialists and socialism has been effectively silenced. Whereas "Peace" describes a lack of military opposition, "Unity" describes a lack of opposing views in the media, in politics, or in personal interactions.

Universal Health Care: Socialized medicine, i.e. socialism. Specifically, a means by which you would be obliged to support or tolerate a certain political party or doctrine in order to save your very life.

Victim: Everyone and everything within the sphere of human influence. Capitalists are victims because they never know what it's like to be "Compassionate" or to even live. Everyone and everything else is a victim of the capitalists. Nothing in life is more precious than to have achieved the highest levels of victimhood, and to have thus garnered the fawning attention and the tearful, gushing "Compassion" of the "Progressives" in the national media so as to win the opportunity to pin the blame for your suffering on capitalists and capitalism.

We: We socialists. We the collective. This is a subtle term but it has a powerful meaning. Saying "We" this and "We" that reinforces the collective thinking of the "Progressive" a bit like a mantra, while ignoring any sense of self or of self interest. Example: "'We' must ensure the 'Safety' of all through 'Education' for 'Our Children' and with 'Progressive' programs such as 'Universal Health Care', advocacy of 'Social Justice', 'Tolerance', and 'Peace', thereby by fostering 'Unity' within the 'Global Community', through the advocacy of 'Change' while working closely with the 'Scientists' to create a 'Sustainable' world economy.

Germany Not Fooled by US Lies about Ukraine

by 

       George Sontag

      It was quiet in eastern Ukraine last Wednesday. Indeed, it was another quiet day in an extended stretch of relative calm. The battles between the Ukrainian army and the pro-Russian separatists had largely stopped and heavy weaponry was being withdrawn. The Minsk cease-fire wasn't holding perfectly, but it was holding. On that same day, General Philip Breedlove, the top NATO commander in Europe, stepped before the press in Washington. Putin, the 59- year-old said, had once again "upped the ante" in eastern Ukraine -- with "well over a thousand combat vehicles, Russian combat forces, some of their most sophisticated air defense, battalions of artillery" having been sent to the Donbass. "What is clear," Breedlove said, "is that right now, it is not getting better. It is getting worse every day."

       German leaders in Berlin were stunned. They didn't understand what Breedlove was talking about. And it wasn't the first time. the German authorities are “alarmed” by the US general’s statements on the Ukrainian conflict as his numbers of alleged Russian presence in Donetsk and Lugansk have always been significantly higher than those available to European members of NATO. Once again, the German government, supported by intelligence gathered by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's foreign intelligence agency, did not share the view of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). The German Chancellery “simply shake their heads” each time Breedlove makes comments on Ukraine, Der Spiegel said. “False claims and exaggerated accounts, warned a top German official during a recent meeting on Ukraine, have put NATO – and by extension, the entire West – in danger of losing its credibility,” the paper wrote. The sources in the Chancellor’s office told the reporter that they viewed Breedlove's comments as “dangerous propaganda.” Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier even found it necessary recently to bring up Breedlove's comments with NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg.

      According to the Spiegel, it is not the first time They drew several more examples of General Breedlove’s “slips of the tongue,” including one he dropped at the

beginning of the crisis; Breedlove said that Russians allegedly gathered 40,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and the situation was “incredibly concerning” as they were preparing for an invasion. Berlin ordered its Federal Intelligence Service to verify the numbers described by the top NATO commander and the check revealed “There weren’t 40,000 soldiers on the border, they believed, rather there were much less than 30,000 and perhaps even fewer than 20,000. Furthermore, most of the military equipment had not been brought to the border for a possible invasion, but had already been there prior to the beginning of the conflict. Furthermore, there was no evidence of logistical preparation for an invasion, such as a field headquarters,” Der Spiegel wrote.

       The German government is alarmed and has stated that the NATO commander also made “inexact, contradictory or even flat-out inaccurate statements,” the sources said. Are the Americans trying to thwart European efforts at mediation led by Chancellor Angela Merkel? Even those American intelligence officials who supply the BND with daily situation reports were much more reserved about the incidents. One intelligence agent says it "remains a riddle until today" how General Breedlove reached his conclusions. There are many at NATO headquarters in Brussels who are likewise concerned about Breedlove's statements. On Tuesday of last week, Breedlove's public appearances were an official item on the agenda of the North Atlantic Council's weekly lunch meeting. Several ambassadors present criticized Breedlove and expressed their incredulity at some of the commander's statements. Propaganda is one thing but outright lies that can be easily disproven are another.

      Western leaders, specifically NATO-countries, they really need public opinion to be backing whatever moves they are making around the world. In the case of Ukraine this is quite an aggressive move by NATO allies led by Washington DC. So it requires a lot of very sophisticated media and public opinion forming, and I think that’s what we are seeing. This is being discredited by the wild statements from the US commander. It is, however, unclear how far the US will push Russia – that may be decided upon by the level to which the American public is tricked into believing that Russia is ‘the bad guy’ in Ukraine. And although American’s appetite for war is low right now, passiveness is very high as evidenced by the lack of resistance to Obama’s covert wars.

       

      Those pushing for US control of Ukraine may have underestimated Russia, as the situation in Ukraine has obviously not worked out the way the US expected. So now it appears that the Obama administration is acting more desperately. They want the war resumed as quickly as possible, but Angela Merkel and other European leaders have urged that it not be resumed at all. Consequently, there is a split in the Western alliance about this matter. Europe doesn’t want to be involved in a war against Russia because it could turn nuclear quickly. However, on March 12th, the US led government's Yatsenyuk stated that “Ukraine is in a state of war with … the Russian Federation.” That is the service he is now providing to Barack Obama, and to the 90%+ of the members of the U.S. Congress who likewise want  this war and to begin arms shipments quickly as to keep our "war for profit" economy from collapse. If it weren’t so tragic, it would be somewhat entertaining to see what preposterous projection of lies the US comes up with next. I'm sure we'll find out very soon.

Misconceptions Americans Have About America

by

       M. Richard Maxson 

      

       Americans are full of wrong ideas about their country. It happened because the government so designed our public education system that no child, taking American history ever gets past the Battle of Gettysburg. No modern history is taught in those classes. Most think, for example, that we are a democracy when in fact our Constitution was designed to create a republic. The authors of our Constitution were dead set against democracy and the Democratic ideals that champion it, figuring that democracies self destruct as soon as people learn to loot the public treasury with their votes.

      Many people think the American government is against communism, another misconception. Every time communism has gotten itself into a real trouble, the American government has stepped in to save it. We fed it after the Revolution' sold it

machinery during Lenin's New Economic Policy, gave it diplomatic recognition and credit during the economic hard times of 1933, helped Stalin industrialize, helped it defeat the Nazis.

 

       The elitists like Communism although they say the opposite. It serves to justify our global foreign policy that our forefathers warned us against. Whenever the powers-that-be wish to meddle in the internal affairs of another country, that intervention can be justified on the basis of our being against communism. Americans are too busy being entertained by our gadgets and programed by the controlled media and would never wonder why,  we had to fight communism in Vietnam, guarantee it's preservation in Cuba, and trade with it in Eastern Europe – all at the same time.

      

       Another misconception is that we have a strong two-party system in the United

States when in fact we have two parties, but they are not the ones people think. The two parties consist of them and us. Democrats and Republicans. are merely two sides of the same coin. There's not a dime's worth of difference between them. Both support the Federal Reserve; both support the tax system with variations based mainly on having different constituencies to reward; both support a Global foreign policy of intervention. Their differences are only on details in carrying out the same policies. If you put aside the rhetoric you'd be hard pressed to point out any significant differences between Republican and Democratic administrations going back many decades on key issues of monetary policy, taxation, and foreign policy.

Finally, just as the American government isn't really against communism it is not really for free enterprise. It is for a form of corporate capitalism, run by elites, with a welfare state - paid for by the working class - the purpose of which is to keep the masses relatively content and truly ignorant of the world both inside and outside their borders.

Who are the Mercenaries participating in the Ukraine?

 What the Elite Don't Want You to Know - Part 2

"I declare to those who would watch this information.......I declare it openly and I know it for a fact......that this is a direct occupation by the United States through figureheads". - Ukrainian General-Colonel Yan Kazemirovich

 

    During clashes between Ukrainian anti-government protesters and riot police some 20 police officers and over 100 protesters were killed. The majority were victims of the February 20, 2014, incident in which unidentified snipers started shooting on both sides of Independence Square and adjacent Instituskaya Street. These shooters were falsely identified as pro-government police even though the snipers were also shooting at both sides. They were, in fact, mercenaries hired by the CIA to "stimulate" regime change. The mass killings were the tipping point of the 2014 Maidan protest, escalating the already violent confrontation into an armed coup.   No one has been prosecuted for these crimes and over a year after "so-called"unidentified snipers gunned down dozens of protesters and police officers in central Kiev, the post-coup government rejects evidence that alleges outsider involvement in the crimes.

     
      The truth is based on a fact and that is that the United States no longer wages war as it has historically done. That is to say, to get around international law, proxies are hired to do the dirty work, the illegal war crime type of work to achieve their desired ends. The  U.S. Congress would not authorize the direct participation of American troops in the armed conflict in Ukraine. However, the National Service of Covert Operations can bypass the lawmakers through channels such as private insurance company Brower, belonging to the CIA. It can

provide large-scale military aid to other countries using its operatives and employees of private military contractors. Mercenaries are hired by firms such as the infamous Blackwater - founded in 1997 by former U.S. Navy SEAL Erik Prince and were one of several private security firms employed by the U.S. government to protect its diplomatic missions overseas. As well as acting as security contractors, Blackwater are seen by some as a private army that can promote U.S. interests without official military involvement.

      With the outbreak of the Iraq war in 2003 the company's operations expanded and its revenue mushroomed, but a string of controversial killings by its personnel,  especially its

involvement in the murder of 17 Iraqis in Nisour Square, Baghdad, in 2007. led to a name change, first to Xe and then to Academi, its current name. Greystone Limited, is another which is integrated with the Academi corporation. These entities form a private army, whose employees have repeatedly been accused of committing grievous and systematic human rights abuses in different troubled regions.” These are soldiers of fortune proficient in combat operations. Most of them had operated under private contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and other states,' Interfax reported. It did not disclose the nationalities of the mercenaries but a Ukrainian diplomat stated, "Most of them come from the United States". Academi’s board of directors includes former Attorney General John Ashcroft, Bobby Ray Inman, the former director of the NSA, and the company’s CEO is a retired Brigadier General, Craig Nixon.

      
      This week the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported on 400 U.S. mercenaries are working with the junta government in Ukraine to suppress opposition to the coup in the eastern part of the country. The newspaper said the for-profit mercenaries are actively participating in the effort to eliminate anti-coup activists in Slavyansk and possibly other areas in the Donetsk region. 

In March, it was reported of the presence of Greystone mercenaries in Donetsk. The mercenaries were “soldiers of fortune proficient in combat operations,” a diplomatic source told Interfax, according to the Daily Mail. “Most of them had operated under private contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and other states. Most of them come from the United States. On the face of it, the uniforms of the people in the videos are consistent with US mercs - they don't look like Russian soldiers mercs". 

  

      The overwhelming evidence of this coup was put on record on 27 January 2015, by a courageous member of Ukraine’s parliament, Oleg TsarevThis is a parliamentary speech, in which he said,

  "In my role as a representative of the Ukrainian people, activists from the Volya Public Organization turned to me, providing clear evidence that within our country, with support and direct participation of the US Embassy in Kiev, a “TechCamp” project is under way in which preparations are being made for a civil war in Ukraine. The “TechCamp” project prepares specialists for information warfare and for the discrediting of state institutions [the

Government] using modern media — potential revolutionaries for organizing and the toppling of the Government. 

       This project is overseen by and currently under the responsibility of the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey R. Pyatt. After the conversation with the Volya Organization, I learned that they actually succeeded to access facilities in the “TechCamp” project [they had hacked into it] disguised as a team of IT specialists. To their surprise, were found briefings that were held on peculiarities of modern media. American instructors explained there how social networks and Internet technologies can be used for targeted manipulation of public opinion as well as to activate potential protest to provoke violent unrest on the territory of Ukraine — radicalization of the population, and triggering of infighting. American instructors show examples of

successful use of social networks to organize protests in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.

 “Tech Camp” representatives currently hold conferences throughout Ukraine. A total of five events have been held so far. About 300 people have been trained as operatives, who are now active throughout Ukraine. The last conference took place on 14 and 14 November 2013, in the heart of Kiev, inside the US Embassy! You tell me which country in the world would allow an NGO to operate out of the US Embassy? This is disrespectful to the Ukrainian Government, and against the Ukrainian people! I thus appeal to the

constitutional authorities of Ukraine with the following question: Is it conceivable that representatives of the US Embassy who organize the “TechCamp” conferences misuse their diplomatic immunity? A UN Resolution of 21 December 1965 regulates inadmissibility of interference in the internal “affairs of any State, and protects its independence and sovereignty. I urge that there be an official investigation into this matter."
