What is just as bad is the Big Tech bias against The Donald. Each and every day over the past four years, Twitter and Facebook have brimmed with anti-Trump stories based on anonymous sources. Not that I read them because I don’t use social media, but I have sources who do. If the deck isn’t stacked against Trump on those two platforms—newscasts, rather—my name is Adolf Hitler.

lewrockwell--2020-11-02--A Biden Presidency Means ‘The Return of the Blob’

What happens on November 3rd ?
It ’ s like a larger than life replay of the famous Hollywood adage : “ No one knows anything.
” The Dem strategy is crystal clear , spawned by the gaming of election scenarios embedded in the Transition Integrity Project and made even more explicit by one of TIP ’ s co-founders , a law professor at Georgetown University .
Hillary Clinton , bluntly , has already called it : Dems must re-take the White House by any and all means and under any and all circumstances .
And just in case , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positioned herself for a plum job .
Joe Biden Unauthorized ... McCormick , Mike Best Price : $ 13.70 Buy New $ 14.49 As much as Dems have made it very clear they will never accept a Trump victory , the counterpunch was vintage Trump : he told the Proud Boys to “ stand back ” – as in no violence , for now – but crucially to “ stand by ” , as in “ get ready ” .
The stage is set for Kill Bill mayhem on November 3rd and beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Joe Taking a cue from TIP , let ’ s game a Dem return to the White House – with the prospect of a President Kamala taking over sooner rather than later .
That means , essentially , The Return of the Blob .
President Trump calls it “ the swamp ” .
Former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes – a mediocre hack – at least coined the funkier “ Blob ” , applied to the incestuous Washington , DC foreign policy gang , think tanks , academia , newspapers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York Times ) , and that unofficial Bible , Foreign Affairs magazine .
A Dem presidency , right away , will need to confront the implications of two wars : Cold War 2.0 against China , and the interminable , trillion-dollar GWOT ( Global War on Terror ) , renamed OCO ( Overseas Contingency Operations ) by the Obama-Biden administration .
Biden became the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1997 and was the chair in 2001-2003 and again in 2007-2009 .
He paraded as total Iraq War cheerleader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of GWOT – and even defended a “ soft partition ” of Iraq , something that fierce nationalists , Sunni and Shi ’ ite , from Baghdad to Basra will never forget .
Obama-Biden ’ s geopolitical accomplishments include a drone war , or Hellfire missile diplomacy , complete with “ kill lists ” ; the failed Afghan surge ; the “ liberation ” of Libya from behind , turning it into a militia wasteland ; the proxy war in Syria fought with “ moderate rebels ” ; and once again leading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yemen .
Tens of millions of Brazilians also will never forget that Obama-Biden legitimized the NSA spying and Hybrid War tactics that led to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff , the neutralization of former President Lula , and the evisceration of the Brazilian economy by comprador elites .
Kamala Harris & The Fu ... Maupin , Caleb Buy New $ 10.00 Among his former , select interlocutors , Biden counts warmonger former NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen – who supervised the destruction of Libya – and John Negroponte , who “ organized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ supervised ” ISIS/Daesh in Iraq – the crucial element of the Rumsfeld/Cebrowski strategy of instrumentalizing jihadis to do the empire ’ s dirty work .
It ’ s safe to game that a Biden-Harris administration will oversee a de facto NATO expansion encompassing parts of Latin America , Africa and the Pacific , thus pleasing the Atlanticist Blob .
In contrast , two near-certain redeeming features would be the return of the US to the JCPOA , or Iran nuclear deal , which was Obama-Biden ’ s only foreign policy achievement , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That would imply containment of Russia , not a new all-out Cold War , even as Biden has recently stressed , on the record , that Russia is the “ biggest threat ” to the US .
Kamala Harris has been groomed to rise to the top from as early as the summer of 2017 .
Predictably , she is all for Israel – mirroring Nancy Pelosi ( “ if this Capitol crumbled to the ground , the one thing that would remain is our commitment to our aid…and I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israel.
” Kamala is a hawk on Russia and North Korea ; and she did not co-sponsor legislation to prevent war against Venezuela and , again , North Korea .
Call her a quintessential Dem hawk .
Yet Kamala ’ s positioning is quite clever , reaching two diverse audiences : she totally fits into The Blob but with an added woke gloss ( trendy sneakers , the advertised affection for hip hop ) .
And as an extra bonus , she directly connects with the “ Never Trumper ” gang .
Never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tankland – totally infiltrated the Dem matrix .
They are prime Blob material .
The ultimate neo-con Never Trumper has got to be Robert Kagan , husband of Maidan cookie distributor Victoria “ F**k the EU ” Nuland ; thus the running joke in many parts of West Asia , for years , about the “ Kaganate of Nulandistan ” .
The Education of an Id ... Power , Samantha Buy New $ 14.99 Kagan , self-glorified and idolized as a star conservative intellectual , is of course one of the co-founders of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American Century ( PNAC ) .
That subsequently translated into gleeful Iraq War cheerleading .
Obama read his books in awe .
Kagan forcefully backed Hillary in 2016 .
Needless to add , neo-cons of the Kagan variety are all rabidly anti-Iran .
On the money front , there ’ s the Lincoln Project , set up last year by a gang of current and former Republican strategists very close to , among others , Blob stars such as Daddy Bush and Dick Cheney .
A handful of billionaires gleefully donated to this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Getty ’ s heir Gordon Getty , the heir of the Hyatt hotel empire John Pritzker , and Cargill heiress Gwendolyn Sontheim .
The key Blob character in a putative Biden-Harris White House is Tony Blinken , former deputy national security adviser during Obama-Biden and arguably the next National Security Adviser .
That ’ s geopolitics – with an important addendum : former national security adviser Susan Rice , who was unceremoniously dropped from the Vice-President shortlist to Kamala ’ s profit , may become the next Secretary of State .
Rice ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who in a strategy document titled “ Rethinking the Battlefield ” predictably goes undiluted Obama-Biden : no “ rethinking ” , really , just rhetoric on fighting ISIS/Daesh and containing Russia and China .
Suave Tony Blinken used to work for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the 2000s , so no wonder he ’ s been very close to Biden even before the first Obama-Biden term , when he rose to the top as deputy national security adviser and then , in the second term , as deputy Secretary of State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who under the protective wing of Hillary Clinton replaced Blinken as national security adviser in the second Obama-Biden term .
He will have a top place either in the National Security Council or the State Department .
But what about The Three Harpies ?
Many of you will remember The Three Harpies , as I coined them before the bombing and destruction of Libya , and again in 2016 , when their remixed version ’ s push for a glorious sequel was rudely interrupted by Trump ’ s victory .
When it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is the 5K , 5G , IMAX version .
Of the three original Harpies , two – Hillary and Susan Rice – seem set to snatch a brand new power job .
The plot thickens for Samantha Power , former US ambassador to the UN and the author of The Education of an Idealist , where we learn that such “ idealist ” rips Damascus and Moscow to shreds while totally ignoring the Obama-Biden drone offensive , kill lists , “ leading from behind ” weaponizing of al-Qaeda in Syria re-baptized as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relentless Saudi destruction of Yemen .
Samantha seems to be out .
There ’ s a new Harpy in town .
Which brings us to the real Queen of the Blob .
The Queen of the Blob Michele Flournoy may be the epitome of the Return of the Blob : the quintessential , imperial functionary of what former CIA analyst Ray McGovern brilliant christened MICIMATT ( the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex ) .
The ideal imperial functionary thrives on discretion : virtually no one knows Flournoy outside of the Blob , so that means the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senior adviser to the Boston Consulting Group ; the co-founder of the Center for a New American Security ( CNAS ) ; a senior fellow at Harvard ’ s Belfer Center ; under secretary of Defense during Obama-Biden ; favorite of top Harpy Hillary to be Pentagon chief after 2016 ; and once again favorite to become Pentagon chief after 2020 .
The most delicious item on Flournoy ’ s CV is that she ’ s the co-founder of WestExec Advisors with none other than Tony Blinken .
Every Blob insider knows that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the street alongside the West Wing of the White House .
In a Netflix plot , that would be the obvious hint that a short walk of fame straight into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue looms in the horizon for the star protagonists .
Flournoy , more than Blinken , turned WestExec into a certified hit in the Beltway MICIMATT profiting from virtually no P.R .
and media blitzes , and talking exclusively to think tanks .
Here ’ s a crucial glimpse of Flournoy thinking .
She clearly states that just a benign American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
And it ’ s important to keep in mind that Flournoy is in fact the mastermind of the overall , failed Obama-Biden war strategy .
In a nutshell , Biden-Harris would mean The Return of the Blob with a vengeance .
Biden-Harris would be Obama-Biden 3.0 .
Remember those seven wars .
Remember the surges .
Remember the kill lists .
Remember Libya .
Remember Syria .
Remember “ soft coup ” Brazil .
Remember Maidan .
You have all been warned .

What happens on November 3rd? It’s like a larger than life replay of the famous Hollywood adage: “No one knows anything.”
The Dem strategy is crystal clear, spawned by the gaming of election scenarios embedded in the Transition Integrity Project and made even more explicit by one of TIP’s co-founders, a law professor at Georgetown University.
Hillary Clinton, bluntly, has already called it: Dems must re-take the White House by any and all means and under any and all circumstances.
And just in case, with a 5,000-word opus, she already positioned herself for a plum job.
Joe Biden Unauthorized... McCormick, Mike Best Price: $13.70 Buy New $14.49 (as of 06:03 UTC - Details) As much as Dems have made it very clear they will never accept a Trump victory, the counterpunch was vintage Trump: he told the Proud Boys to “stand back” – as in no violence, for now – but crucially to “stand by”, as in “get ready”.
The stage is set for Kill Bill mayhem on November 3rd and beyond.
Say it ain’t so, Joe
Taking a cue from TIP, let’s game a Dem return to the White House – with the prospect of a President Kamala taking over sooner rather than later. That means, essentially, The Return of the Blob.
President Trump calls it “the swamp”. Former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes – a mediocre hack – at least coined the funkier “Blob”, applied to the incestuous Washington, DC foreign policy gang, think tanks, academia, newspapers (from the Washington Post to the New York Times), and that unofficial Bible, Foreign Affairs magazine.
A Dem presidency, right away, will need to confront the implications of two wars: Cold War 2.0 against China, and the interminable, trillion-dollar GWOT (Global War on Terror), renamed OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations) by the Obama-Biden administration.

He paraded as total Iraq War cheerleader – necessary, he maintained, as part of GWOT – and even defended a “soft partition” of Iraq, something that fierce nationalists, Sunni and Shi’ite, from Baghdad to Basra will never forget.
Obama-Biden’s geopolitical accomplishments include a drone war, or Hellfire missile diplomacy, complete with “kill lists”; the failed Afghan surge; the “liberation” of Libya from behind, turning it into a militia wasteland; the proxy war in Syria fought with “moderate rebels”; and once again leading from behind, the Saudi-orchestrated destruction of Yemen.

Kamala Harris & The Fu... Maupin, Caleb Buy New $10.00 (as of 07:16 UTC - Details)
Among his former, select interlocutors, Biden counts warmonger former NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen – who supervised the destruction of Libya – and John Negroponte, who “organized” the contras in Nicaragua and then “supervised” ISIS/Daesh in Iraq – the crucial element of the Rumsfeld/Cebrowski strategy of instrumentalizing jihadis to do the empire’s dirty work.
Obama’s Legacy of War, Repression and Inequality
It’s safe to game that a Biden-Harris administration will oversee a de facto NATO expansion encompassing parts of Latin America, Africa and the Pacific, thus pleasing the Atlanticist Blob.
In contrast, two near-certain redeeming features would be the return of the US to the JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal, which was Obama-Biden’s only foreign policy achievement, and re-starting nuclear disarmament negotiations with Russia. That would imply containment of Russia, not a new all-out Cold War, even as Biden has recently stressed, on the record, that Russia is the “biggest threat” to the US.
Woke Kamala in da house
Kamala Harris has been groomed to rise to the top from as early as the summer of 2017. Predictably, she is all for Israel – mirroring Nancy Pelosi (“if this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain is our commitment to our aid…and I don’t even call it aid…our cooperation with Israel.”
Kamala is a hawk on Russia and North Korea; and she did not co-sponsor legislation to prevent war against Venezuela and, again, North Korea. Call her a quintessential Dem hawk.
Yet Kamala’s positioning is quite clever, reaching two diverse audiences: she totally fits into The Blob but with an added woke gloss (trendy sneakers, the advertised affection for hip hop). And as an extra bonus, she directly connects with the “Never Trumper” gang.
Never Trumper Republicans – operating especially in Think Tankland – totally infiltrated the Dem matrix. They are prime Blob material. The ultimate neo-con Never Trumper has got to be Robert Kagan, husband of Maidan cookie distributor Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland; thus the running joke in many parts of West Asia, for years, about the “Kaganate of Nulandistan”. The Education of an Id... Power, Samantha Buy New $14.99 (as of 03:20 UTC - Details)
Kagan, self-glorified and idolized as a star conservative intellectual, is of course one of the co-founders of the dreaded neo-con Project for the New American Century (PNAC). That subsequently translated into gleeful Iraq War cheerleading. Obama read his books in awe. Kagan forcefully backed Hillary in 2016. Needless to add, neo-cons of the Kagan variety are all rabidly anti-Iran.
On the money front, there’s the Lincoln Project, set up last year by a gang of current and former Republican strategists very close to, among others, Blob stars such as Daddy Bush and Dick Cheney. A handful of billionaires gleefully donated to this major anti-Trump super-PAC, including J. Paul Getty’s heir Gordon Getty, the heir of the Hyatt hotel empire John Pritzker, and Cargill heiress Gwendolyn Sontheim.
Those Three Harpies
The key Blob character in a putative Biden-Harris White House is Tony Blinken, former deputy national security adviser during Obama-Biden and arguably the next National Security Adviser.
That’s geopolitics – with an important addendum: former national security adviser Susan Rice, who was unceremoniously dropped from the Vice-President shortlist to Kamala’s profit, may become the next Secretary of State.
Rice’s possible contender is Senator Chris Murphy, who in a strategy document titled “Rethinking the Battlefield” predictably goes undiluted Obama-Biden: no “rethinking”, really, just rhetoric on fighting ISIS/Daesh and containing Russia and China.
Suave Tony Blinken used to work for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the 2000s, so no wonder he’s been very close to Biden even before the first Obama-Biden term, when he rose to the top as deputy national security adviser and then, in the second term, as deputy Secretary of State.
Close to Blinken is Jake Sullivan, who under the protective wing of Hillary Clinton replaced Blinken as national security adviser in the second Obama-Biden term. He will have a top place either in the National Security Council or the State Department.
But what about The Three Harpies?
Many of you will remember The Three Harpies, as I coined them before the bombing and destruction of Libya, and again in 2016, when their remixed version’s push for a glorious sequel was rudely interrupted by Trump’s victory. When it comes to Return of the Blob, this is the 5K, 5G, IMAX version.

Samantha seems to be out. There’s a new Harpy in town. Which brings us to the real Queen of the Blob.
The Queen of the Blob
Michele Flournoy may be the epitome of the Return of the Blob: the quintessential, imperial functionary of what former CIA analyst Ray McGovern brilliant christened MICIMATT (the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex).
The ideal imperial functionary thrives on discretion: virtually no one knows Flournoy outside of the Blob, so that means the whole planet.
Flournoy is a former senior adviser to the Boston Consulting Group; the co-founder of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS); a senior fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center; under secretary of Defense during Obama-Biden; favorite of top Harpy Hillary to be Pentagon chief after 2016; and once again favorite to become Pentagon chief after 2020.
The most delicious item on Flournoy’s CV is that she’s the co-founder of WestExec Advisors with none other than Tony Blinken.
Every Blob insider knows that WestExec happens to be the name of the street alongside the West Wing of the White House. In a Netflix plot, that would be the obvious hint that a short walk of fame straight into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue looms in the horizon for the star protagonists.
Flournoy, more than Blinken, turned WestExec into a certified hit in the Beltway MICIMATT profiting from virtually no P.R. and media blitzes, and talking exclusively to think tanks.
Here’s a crucial glimpse of Flournoy thinking. She clearly states that just a benign American deterrence towards China is a “miscalculation”. And it’s important to keep in mind that Flournoy is in fact the mastermind of the overall, failed Obama-Biden war strategy.
In a nutshell, Biden-Harris would mean The Return of the Blob with a vengeance. Biden-Harris would be Obama-Biden 3.0. Remember those seven wars. Remember the surges. Remember the kill lists. Remember Libya. Remember Syria. Remember “soft coup” Brazil. Remember Maidan. You have all been warned.

lewrockwell--2020-11-02--Roots of Antifa: This ‘Idea’ Has Violent Consequences

As riots and looting consumed Philadelphia this week after a fatal police shooting , a radical left-wing group , the “ Philly Socialists , ” began monitoring police scanners and relaying information to help protesters evade arrest .
At one point , the Philly Socialists tweeted out a clue as to their street allegiances : “ Do humanity a favor and learn what antifa stands for.
” The scene in Philadelphia was similar to scores of violent protests around the country since May , which have often featured a common and shadowy element – black-masked men and women who seemed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police as chanting social justice slogans .
The one thing most people can agree on is these people have a name – “ antifa , ” short for anti-fascists .
But larger questions – who are they ?
where did they come from ?
what do they want ?
– have been lost in the battle of partisan politics .
American Antifa ( Routl ... Vysotsky , Stanislav Best Price : $ 41.42 Buy New $ 34.03 President Trump has denounced antifa as an organized terror group , like the Ku Klux @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Joe Biden disagreed , paraphrasing Trump ’ s own FBI director , Christopher Wray , as saying that “ unlike white supremacists , antifa is an idea , not an organization , not a militia.
” While Wray did testify to that effect before a House panel in September , he also said antifa was a real threat and that the FBI had undertaken “ any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists.
” A U.S. attorney with the Justice Department told Congress in August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ domestic terrorism investigations related to the ongoing riots .
Antifa is , in fact , hard to pin down .
It has no known leaders , no address , not even a Twitter account .
A number of specific groups involved in street violence embrace the antifa label .
Those groups , in turn , are highly secretive and loosely organized .
Stanislav Vysotsky , a former antifa activist and author of “ American Antifa : The Tactics , Culture , and Practice of Militant Antifascism ” ( 2020 ) , concedes that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mystery wrapped in an enigma wearing a black mask.
” This elusiveness , which appears to be by design , makes it difficult to define or even identify members of a movement that nevertheless has had an outsized impact on American society .
Yet , the black mask slips .
Scholarly research and daily journalism shed light on antifa ’ s ideology and its long history in the United States .
Its mixture of left-wing politics and anarchist nihilism can be traced back more than 100 years .
Its modern incarnation , centered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ radicals , including former members of the Weather Underground , anti-racist skateboard punks who emerged in the 1980s , and younger radicals .
Their racial and ethnic makeup is uncertain , but significant numbers are white .
Arrest records and other publicly available information suggest many of those identifying as antifa are itinerant or marginally employed .
Scholars agree with Vysotsky that “ antifascism is simultaneously a complex and simple political phenomenon.
” It is simple in that it is an oppositional movement – it is defined by its resistance to “ fascism.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not seeking to gain the levers of power to build a utopia .
They are skeptical of state power , hence their frequent clashes with the police , and are more intent on confronting those they see as enemies .
But antifascism is also complex because fascism itself “ is often an extremely murky concept , ” writes Mark Bray , a history lecturer at Rutgers , self-described political organizer and author of “ The Antifa Handbook.
” To clarify what fascism is , antifa sympathizers try to connect the American movement to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ groups that resisted the likes of Hitler , Mussolini and General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s.The leftist slogan of that war , “ No pasarán ” ( “ They shall not pass ” ) , is often invoked by American adherents .
In general , antifa partisans show no embarrassment from associations with leftist totalitarians .
Bray notes that an antifa-sympathizing self-defense group called the “ Maoist Red Guards ” is still active in Austin .
Antifa : The Anti-Fasci ... Bray , Mark Best Price : $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time , antifa activists are intensely hostile to American historical traditions .
In Portland , rioters recently smashed windows of the Oregon Historical Society , stealing and damaging a quilt made by black women to celebrate America ’ s bicentennial .
That same night , rioters tore down statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt that had stood in Portland for more than a century .
While American antifa adherents explicitly reject the First Amendment and other classically liberal ideas about free speech and assembly , they see as their spiritual ancestors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fought slavery and later racism .
Bray writes that John Brown , the white man who tried to spark a slave revolt by attacking a federal arsenal at Harper ’ s Ferry , Va. , in 1859 , is a particular hero .
More recently , antifa in America have drawn power from punk-rock subcultures and post-1960s left-wing extremism .
After white supremacists recruited disaffected youths as “ skinheads ” and racist “ Oi ” bands began to appear , counter-movements formed in response .
In particular , a group of punk rockers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ formed the Anti-Racist Action Network ( ARA ) to engage in “ direct action ” confrontations using spray paint , crowbars , and bricks against racists in the punk scene .
Word of the group and its exploits , which sometimes involved violent skirmishes with racists , spread via underground punk publications known as “ zines ” and the organization spread across the country .

Antifa is, in fact, hard to pin down. It has no known leaders, no address, not even a Twitter account. A number of specific groups involved in street violence embrace the antifa label. Those groups, in turn, are highly secretive and loosely organized. Stanislav Vysotsky, a former antifa activist and author of “American Antifa: The Tactics, Culture, and Practice of Militant Antifascism” (2020), concedes that “for most people antifa is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wearing a black mask.”
This elusiveness, which appears to be by design, makes it difficult to define or even identify members of a movement that nevertheless has had an outsized impact on American society.
Yet, the black mask slips. Scholarly research and daily journalism shed light on antifa’s ideology and its long history in the United States. Its mixture of left-wing politics and anarchist nihilism can be traced back more than 100 years. Its modern incarnation, centered in the Pacific Northwest, features 1960s radicals, including former members of the Weather Underground, anti-racist skateboard punks who emerged in the 1980s, and younger radicals. Their racial and ethnic makeup is uncertain, but significant numbers are white. Arrest records and other publicly available information suggest many of those identifying as antifa are itinerant or marginally employed.
Scholars agree with Vysotsky that “antifascism is simultaneously a complex and simple political phenomenon.” It is simple in that it is an oppositional movement – it is defined by its resistance to “fascism.” Unlike leftists, its adherents are not seeking to gain the levers of power to build a utopia. They are skeptical of state power, hence their frequent clashes with the police, and are more intent on confronting those they see as enemies.
But antifascism is also complex because fascism itself “is often an extremely murky concept,” writes Mark Bray, a history lecturer at Rutgers, self-described political organizer and author of “The Antifa Handbook.” To clarify what fascism is, antifa sympathizers try to connect the American movement to a series of obscure 20th century left-wing groups that resisted the likes of Hitler, Mussolini and General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s.The leftist slogan of that war, “No pasarán” (“They shall not pass”), is often invoked by American adherents. In general, antifa partisans show no embarrassment from associations with leftist totalitarians. Bray notes that an antifa-sympathizing self-defense group called the “Maoist Red Guards” is still active in Austin. Antifa: The Anti-Fasci... Bray, Mark Best Price: $22.44 Buy New $11.19 (as of 03:24 UTC - Details)
At the same time, antifa activists are intensely hostile to American historical traditions. In Portland, rioters recently smashed windows of the Oregon Historical Society, stealing and damaging a quilt made by black women to celebrate America’s bicentennial. That same night, rioters tore down statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt that had stood in Portland for more than a century.
While American antifa adherents explicitly reject the First Amendment and other classically liberal ideas about free speech and assembly, they see as their spiritual ancestors 19th century slavery abolitionists and others who fought slavery and later racism. Bray writes that John Brown, the white man who tried to spark a slave revolt by attacking a federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Va., in 1859, is a particular hero.
More recently, antifa in America have drawn power from punk-rock subcultures and post-1960s left-wing extremism. After white supremacists recruited disaffected youths as “skinheads” and racist “Oi” bands began to appear, counter-movements formed in response. In particular, a group of punk rockers known as the Minnesota Baldies in 1987 formed the Anti-Racist Action Network (ARA) to engage in “direct action” confrontations using spray paint, crowbars, and bricks against racists in the punk scene. Word of the group and its exploits, which sometimes involved violent skirmishes with racists, spread via underground punk publications known as “zines” and the organization spread across the country.

lewrockwell--2020-11-02--Operation Warp Speed — A Technocratic Chess Piece?

In this interview , investigative journalist Whitney Webb , who does both independent work and collaborations with The Last American Vagabond , discusses the little-known details of Operation Warp Speed , a joint operation between U.S. Health and Human Services ( HHS ) and the Department of Defense to produce a fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine and other therapeutics .
As you may have noticed by now , Google , YouTube , Facebook , Twitter and a host of other platforms are censoring information relating to COVID-19 in general and vaccine information in particular .
Many commentators who touch on these issues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on these crucial topics are getting harder to come by .
“ We ’ re at a point where the line between Silicon Valley and the national security state has become so blurred , you really can ’ t distinguish where one begins and where the other ends , ” Webb says .
This in large part helps explain how and why big tech is getting away with such blatant censorship as deplatforming of individuals who discuss issues the mainstream media refuse to touch .
“ You can definitely make the argument that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degree , ” she says .
“ I think it ’ s quite telling that a lot of these companies , from the very beginning of their existence , had some sort of funding from U.S. intelligence.
” As noted by Webb , you ’ d expect Operation Warp Speed , being a government program , to be governed by some federal regulatory agency like the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , or even the HHS , but no .

In short , rather than doing long-term safety studies on both animals and humans beforehand , what ’ s being put into place is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where vaccine recipients are monitored for side effects .

Most recently , a volunteer physician in the Brazilian arm of AstraZeneca ’ s trial died from receiving the placebo , which was not sterile saline but the meningitis vaccine.2 As detailed in “ How COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged , ” none of the vaccines are designed to actually prevent infection .

As mentioned , 9/11 became the justification for a series of tyrannical control mechanisms in the form of the Patriot Act that stripped Americans of civil liberties and privacy .
Now , the COVID-19 pandemic , despite the fact that it hasn ’ t resulted in an excess number of deaths above the historical norm for any given year , appears to be used as yet another excuse for the implementation of more tyrannical controls .
It appears @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laying down the infrastructure for a totalitarian control system set to be deployed later .
Webb agrees , saying : Indeed , it all appears to be part and parcel of a longstanding technocratic plan to govern society through technology , programmed by scientists and technicians and automated through the use of artificial intelligence , rather than through democratically elected politicians and government leaders .

“You can definitely make the argument that it’s state censorship to a degree,” she says. “I think it’s quite telling that a lot of these companies, from the very beginning of their existence, had some sort of funding from U.S. intelligence.”
—————————————————————————————————————————-

Operation Warp Speed
As noted by Webb, you’d expect Operation Warp Speed, being a government program, to be governed by some federal regulatory agency like the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or even the HHS, but no. It’s almost entirely funded and operated by the CIA and the U.S. military. Webb explains: The origins of totalit... Arendt, Hannah Best Price: $37.78 Buy New $25.98 (as of 03:26 UTC - Details)
“When Operation Warp Speed was announced … it was essentially sold to the public as a joint operation between HHS and the Department of Defense. So, the military was involved from the beginning. But oddly enough, last month, a lot of information about Warp Speed started to come to light.
One was the organizational chart of its leadership, which showed that by and large, the entire operation is dominated by military. There were very few civilian health officials, and most of those civilian health officials are involved in the therapeutic side of Warp Speed, which as we know now is the most drastically underfunded part of this initiative.
It was initially given a $10 billion budget, and they’ve already spent $10 billion on the vaccine. Only $450 million have been given through Warp Speed to a therapeutics project, which of course we now know is Regeneron, which is allegedly what Trump received when he was at Walter Reed.
What I’m saying is that most, the vast majority, of the money and time and energy has gone to a vaccine specifically, not really therapeutics. And so, if you look at the organizational chart, the people that aren’t directly deployed by the DoD or military intelligence were essentially put in the therapeutics part, which was drastically underfunded. It’s focused largely on the vaccine.
What’s also interesting is we know that Operation Warp Speed currently has about six vaccine candidates. And we know now that they plan to use them all, and that they plan to allocate a specific vaccine to specific populations — what they identify in their official guidance as critical populations — which they announced just a few days ago.”
Palantir
A company called Palantir was given the contract to come up with the vaccine allocation strategy and determine the critical populations each vaccine should be distributed to. Palantir, founded by Peter Thiel, was initially funded by QTL, the CIA’s venture capital arm.
The CIA was its only client for the first three years of its existence. At present, Palantir is a contractor to 17 U.S. intelligence agencies and also the U.S. military. The company is also in charge of COVID-19 data under the auspices of the HHS. Hospitals must now report their COVID-19 data to Palantir or lose their Medicaid and Medicare funding. Palantir is also involved in things like predictive policing.
“There are a lot of things in Warp Speed that are concerning. One of the things I read about recently is that Google and Oracle, two large tech companies that have longstanding ties to the CIA, are going to be involved in what they describe as a pharmacovigilance surveillance system, or what was more recently referred to by the head of Warp Speed as an incredibly precise tracking system, whereby everyone who receives one of these vaccines will be tracked and surveilled, not just to make sure that they get a second dose …
but also to see what happens to people’s physiology, because they admit that every single one of these vaccine candidates … has never been brought to market or licensed by the government before,” Webb says.
Pharmacovigilance Surveillance
Technocracy: The Hard ... Wood, Patrick M. Best Price: $33.00 Buy New $24.59 (as of 03:55 UTC - Details) According to Webb, the plan is to monitor vaccine recipients for 24 months after the first dose. The question is, how do you monitor such a large population? One way would be to employ biosensors that collect and send biological metrics automatically.
Monsef Salafi, a long-time head of GlaxoSmithKline’s vaccine division, who is now part of Warp Speed, is a leading proponent of bioelectronic medicine, the use of injectable or implantable technology for the purpose of treating nerve conditions. The MIT Technology review has referred to it as hacking the nervous system. But it also allows you to monitor the physiology of the human body from the inside.
A lot of the same initiatives proposed after 9/11 have essentially been resurrected, with updated technology, under the guise of combating COVID-19. ~ Whitney Webb
The vaccine coordinator for Operation Warp Speed is Matt Hepburn, a former program manager for DARPA, where he oversaw the development of ProfusA,1 an implantable biosensor that allows a person’s physiology to be examined at a distance via smartphone connectivity. ProfusA is also backed by Google, the largest data mining company in the world. Salafi is also invested in a company called Galvani Bioelectronics, which was cofounded by a Google subsidiary.
“So, you have Google being contracted to monitor this pharmacovigilance surveillance system that aims to monitor the physiology and the human body for two years,” Webb says.
“And then you have the ties to the ProfusA project, which oddly enough is supposed to work inside the human body for 24 months — the exact window they’ve said will be used to monitor people after the first [vaccine] dose.”
Guinea Pigs ‘R Us
In short, rather than doing long-term safety studies on both animals and humans beforehand, what’s being put into place is a “safety study” after the fact, where vaccine recipients are monitored for side effects. Unfortunately, Warp Speed, being shrouded in secrecy, has not released details about what biological parameters would actually be monitored and surveilled. As noted by Webb:
“It really doesn’t make sense, if you think about it, for something that … is funded by American taxpayers to produce a medical countermeasure or a vaccine [during] peace time, is being run by the military under extreme secrecy with a lot of involvement of intelligence contractors, or intelligence agencies themselves.
We now know, for example, that the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security are directly involved in Operation Warp Speed, but they won’t really say exactly what parts they’re doing. But there are some indications as to what they could be involved with.
And the fact that Silicon Valley companies that have been known to collaborate with intelligence [agencies] for the purpose of spying on innocent Americans — Google and Oracle, for example — are going to be involved in this surveillance system … for everyone that gets the vaccine.
It’s certainly alarming, and it seems to point to the fulfillment of an agenda that was attempted to be pushed through or foisted on the American public after 9/11, called Total Information Awareness, which was managed, originally, by DARPA.
It was about using medical data and non-medical data — essentially all data about you — to prevent terror attacks before they could happen, and also to prevent bioterror attacks and even prevent naturally occurring disease outbreaks.
A lot of the same initiatives proposed under that original program after 9/11 have essentially been resurrected, with updated technology, under the guise of combating COVID-19.”
Human Trials Reveal Plenty of Risk
Technocracy Rising: Th... Wood, Patrick M. Best Price: $30.00 Buy New $24.00 (as of 07:16 UTC - Details) Webb also discusses the vaccine trials currently underway around the world, and the fact that even though the vaccines are being given to perfectly healthy, younger individuals, they’re reporting lots of side effects, including serious ones. Most recently, a volunteer physician in the Brazilian arm of AstraZeneca’s trial died from receiving the placebo, which was not sterile saline but the meningitis vaccine.2
As detailed in “How COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged,” none of the vaccines are designed to actually prevent infection. The primary measure of success is whether or not the vaccine results in fewer symptoms when you’re infected with SARS-CoV-2.
While the AstraZeneca trial initially stated the vaccine was being tested against a saline placebo,3 as I mentioned earlier, it’s since been revealed that they’re using the meningitis vaccine as the “placebo,” which can help hide a variety of side effects. The study was not halted following that death, but it’s already been paused twice due to unexpected serious illnesses. Both instances were deemed unrelated to the vaccine, of course.
“These are really things that have the potential to be very drastic because you have to consider that the sample sizes are quite small. [If] you extrapolate to the size of the U.S. population, potentially hundreds of thousands of people [may] suffer very adverse health effects,” Webb says.
Why the Lack of Transparency?
Webb also points out that rather than being contracts between government and the vaccine companies, the vaccine contracts have been funneled via a third party. Why? One potential reason is because this exempts them from Freedom of Information Act requests. It also exempts vaccines made under those contracts from many federal regulations, including federal safety regulations.
“We also know, because of the changes HHS made per the Prep Act, that any person that produces a COVID-19 vaccine … associated with Operation Warp Speed will not be liable for any sort of damages it may cause.
And, it’s definitely concerning that these vaccine companies, a lot of which just have atrocious track records, are being given billions of dollars and being allowed to operate under the utmost secrecy, developing something for the American public that can very well be mandated, or, for some people, even if it’s not an official mandate, if they want to keep their jobs or they want to stay in school, they’ll have to receive it anyway. So, it’s definitely an issue that more people should be talking about.”
Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, it’s extremely difficult to get this information out. YouTube, which is owned by Google, censors all of it. This is beyond questionable considering Google’s involvement with Operation Warp Speed. In short, they’re censoring to protect their own interests.
Perishability Heightens Vaccine Failure Risks
Aside from the fact that mRNA vaccines have never been used in humans before now, there’s also the issue of their perishability. This is yet another factor that heightens the risk of these vaccines. At best, they may become ineffective unless stored properly; at worst, they may produce unexpected side effects. Trilaterals Over Washi... Sutton, Antony C. Best Price: $34.32 Buy New $27.55 (as of 04:28 UTC - Details)
Unlike conventional vaccines, which simply need to be refrigerated, mRNA vaccines need to be kept on dry ice in order to maintain a temperature below zero. This clearly complicates delivery and storage, which apparently is one reason why the military will be in charge of distribution.
“The person in the Pentagon who is overseeing [the distribution] aspect is a man named Paul Strauss. He’s one of the people who has been most adamant about the secrecy and insisting that they can’t release certain things. So, that doesn’t instill me, personally, with a lot of confidence as to what’s going on,” Webb says.
“But yes, there are a lot more logistical hurdles than there have been in past planned vaccination programs, which of course didn’t involve the military, this extreme secrecy, and didn’t involve DHS or the NSA. The HHS, like I said earlier, sold this as a joint, essentially 50/50 HHS and DoD initiative. But really, the number of HHS officials on this list is quite small.”
Laying Down Infrastructure for Totalitarian Control
As mentioned, 9/11 became the justification for a series of tyrannical control mechanisms in the form of the Patriot Act that stripped Americans of civil liberties and privacy.
Now, the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the fact that it hasn’t resulted in an excess number of deaths above the historical norm for any given year, appears to be used as yet another excuse for the implementation of more tyrannical controls. It appears that what they’re doing is laying down the infrastructure for a totalitarian control system set to be deployed later. Webb agrees, saying:
“I tend to agree with you in a big way, and I’ll give you an example of an initiative that’s being put out right now by HHS that they claim is about preventing coronavirus outbreaks before they happen, and how it plays into this longstanding effort to produce ‘smart cities.’
HHS, a few weeks ago, issued a solicitation, which was given to this MIT spinoff company called Biobot Analytics. Essentially, they say it’s to create a nationwide wastewater surveillance system where they will be robotically sampling sewage from various cities around the country.
They say that will be done to test for COVID-19 and use an AI algorithm to predictably determine if a COVID-19 outbreak will take place in the future, up to 11 days before symptoms would even allegedly begin to show in that particular population. They say that would be done to enable rapid containment of those communities before this alleged future outbreak could happen.
What you can see there, in my opinion, is what was previously trying to be sold to the public as predictive policing, but now it’s sort of the predictive policing approach to healthcare. We have to prevent infection or prevent outbreaks before it happens, which obviously is rife for abuse by a government that is fundamentally corrupt and out of control.
If they wanted to lock down a particular community, all they have to say is, ‘Our new surveillance system has identified, through this algorithm, that there will be an outbreak here in 11 days. So we have to shut everything down in this entire city.
What this wastewater surveillance system requires is sensors throughout a sewage system in a particular city, which is the underground infrastructure of what are often today called smart cities — cities filled with sensors that are united by the internet of things, 5G and Wi-Fi.
What’s very alarming is that the developers chosen for this wastewater surveillance system come from a lab at MIT called Sensible City Labs, and it’s not sensible. It’s sensible [in that it’s] able to be sensed. Essentially, MIT is a smart cities lab that was chosen by HHS to develop this under the guise of COVID-19.
And what is also alarming, in my opinion, is that this company has partnered with HHS before, not to predict coronavirus or to sample for coronavirus in wastewater, but to detect patterns of illicit drug use in certain populations, which dovetail with the war on drugs in the United States. Whether it has to do with opioids or marijuana use or any other illegal substance, it allows surveillance on what people are ingesting in a particular community.
They also talk about analyzing people’s diets, what they’re ingesting — if people are eating foods that the government has decided are associated with illnesses, they can see if too many people are eating the wrong foods and then accordingly ban those foods through a municipal or a statewide edict and things like that.
It’s really a recipe for the micromanaging of regular human habits where the government was not previously involved …
[After] 9/11, the invisible enemy [was] these faceless terrorists abroad. Now, under coronavirus, the invisible enemy is a microbe that can exist anywhere, including within your own body. Therefore, to fight and win the war against the microbe we have to know what’s going on inside of your body also.
And so, we’re seeing the potential for the use of something like ProfusA and Operation Warp Speed, or this effort to surveil sewage, to determine what people are putting in their bodies. It’s definitely a very slippery slope in what I would call the beginnings of a Biosurveillance state.”
The Technocratic Underground
Indeed, it all appears to be part and parcel of a longstanding technocratic plan to govern society through technology, programmed by scientists and technicians and automated through the use of artificial intelligence, rather than through democratically elected politicians and government leaders.
Much of it is being developed and implemented in really underhanded ways. For obvious reasons, the true, long-term purpose is never actually admitted. For example, while smart cities have received public pushback, this plan to equip the sewage system with biosensors is essentially a way to build the system from below ground, up.
Since it’s underground, people will be far less likely to object to it or understand it as an intrusion of privacy. Ultimately, topside technologies will be added in the form of smart homes, until people are living in smart cities whether they signed up for it or not.
Google’s Transhumanist Goals
Webb also discusses the influence and role of Google in greater depth, including the current antitrust case filed against the company by the U.S. Department of Justice.
“There are a lot of things that Eric Schmidt has done over the years that are deeply concerning. He, and a lot of other people involved with Google, including Google’s top futurist, as he describes himself, Ray Kurzweil, are very big proponents of what is often called transhumanism, this belief that it’s the destiny of the human race, it will be the pinnacle of human evolution, to combine with machines and defeat death.
Schmidt is a person that certainly feels that way and was close with Kurzweil. Now he’s in charge of the artificial intelligence modernization efforts of the government.
It’s very, very disconcerting, especially when you look at a lot of the military’s own modernization plans that are set to begin next year, with having an unprecedented role for artificial intelligence and targeting and flagging people that soldiers will then shoot with these augmented reality helmets the Pentagon has bought.
It’s a lot of the Orwellian surveillance structure that we’re seeing rolled out, whether through Warp Speed or by HHS under the guise of COVID-19 response, it definitely seems to dovetail significantly with plans that have been developed by people like Schmidt for the modernization of the U.S. government itself, particularly the national security state.
And I really don’t think that there’s much of a coincidence that those two things are happening in tandem.”
Antitrust Case Against Google May Actually Benefit Them
As for the antitrust case against Google filed by the DOJ at the end of October 2020, 4 Webb doubts it will hurt the company. In fact, she suspects Google, just like the Rockefellers’ Standard Oil, wants to be broken up in order to be able to expand into other markets.
“The government was able to look like they were actually doing something about Standard Oil, but actually Standard Oil wanted to be broken up. That allowed the Rockefeller family to extend their influence and reach … far beyond oil.
For example, they got involved with totally remaking Western medicine … and in shaping what we now know as Big Pharma … So, I think it’s interesting that this is happening with Google now, and that it’s only targeting Google’s search monopoly, which is what Google began with.
But since then, Google’s business has expanded far beyond search and they’re poised to have a big role in upcoming health care initiatives, for example. I think they’re ready to extend their tentacles, to use that metaphor, into a lot more different sectors, far beyond their search engine.
So maybe people would be assuaged publicly if they think, ‘Oh yeah, Google has been taken down and broken up by the government,’ when in reality they don’t care about their monopoly on search anymore, and they’re already too big to fail. I honestly think at the end of the day, a lot of this antitrust posturing towards Google, I don’t really know if it will go anywhere,” she says.
Data Is the New Oil
Webb also points out that Google’s future is secured by its central and ever-growing role in data mining. Google will be harvesting brand new biological data through the upcoming Warp Speed surveillance system, and in September 2020, Google partnered with the Pentagon to develop predictive diagnostics for cancer using AI, which they intend to extend to other diseases as well, including COVID-19.
“There’s this big push to create an all-powerful artificial intelligence algorithm in order to enable a lot of the functionality that they want to impose in smart cities and these other initiatives they’ve been putting forth.
In order to do that, they need access to data. That’s why we’ve heard over the past couple of years that data is the new oil. It feeds back into this race to develop the greatest AI algorithm. This is very concerning when you look at the National Security Commission on AIs objectives.
They say the only way to maintain U.S. global military hegemony, and also economic hegemony, is to harvest more data than any of their adversaries’ states from Americans in order to be able to develop a better AI algorithm before China can do the same.
That’s what these very powerful and influential organizations are saying. And if you actually look at their documents, they essentially say that there needs to be a total remaking of Americans way of life to facilitate that type of data extraction from a smaller population than the Chinese population.
For example, more data needs to be harvested per American citizen in order to facilitate that leapfrogging of China’s artificial intelligence. So, there is a lot to be concerned about, but I think a lot of people have declined to look at these commissions and institutions and what their thought process is …
And where they’re going is nowhere good. It’s essentially pointing to tyranny in a technocratic system that’s not even governed by humans. It’s governed by an algorithm created by man.
So obviously, it’s a can of worms they’re attempting to open, and the people that are behind this, whether the military and intelligence agencies, when they work in complete secrecy like they are in Warp Speed, they’re historically up to no good … Historically they ruthlessly pursue their own ambitions at the expense of American interests. It’s definitely worth considering all of these things.”
Bioterror Predictions
Based on her research, Webb suspects there will be another phase to the COVID-19 pandemic, some sort of bioterror event, likely before April 2021.
“I don’t have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the plans there. If you look at the people that predicted the coronavirus crisis before it happened, they were also immediately positioned to benefit from that crisis as it emerged. Bill Gates, for example, in April said that the coronavirus crisis is Pandemic 1, and it will be followed by Pandemic 2, which … would be a bioterror event.
And the way to respond to this Pandemic 2 would be to do the same types of preparations you would do for bioterrorism. That’s straight from Bill Gates … Gates [also] frequently … talked about the need to merge international security, i.e., U.S. foreign policy with health security, as he calls it, and essentially merge the war on terror with a war on bioterror.”
She points out that Event 201, held by Gates, the World Economic Forum and Johns Hopkins in October 2019, featured a novel coronavirus. Was it really a coincidence that a novel coronavirus outbreak occurred 10 weeks later?
‘Dark Winter’ — The Signal for an Anthrax-Related Event?
An earlier tabletop pandemic exercise was done in June 2001. The simulation, called “Dark Winter,” predicted major aspects of the subsequent 2001 anthrax attacks. During the last presidential debate, the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, stated the U.S. is headed for a “dark winter” — an unusual phrase that raised questions among some commentators.
Before that, the former head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) testified in front of Congress saying that this winter was going to be the “darkest winter” in modern U.S. history. Somehow, many plans actually seem to be signaled beforehand, if you’re keen enough to pick up the cues. Interestingly, with regard to the “Dark Winter” reference and its anthrax connection:
“The Johns Hopkins center for health security has a sister organization at UPMC (University of Pennsylvania Medical Center) called the UPMC Center for Biosecurity, in Pennsylvania. They’re currently, under the guise of coronavirus vaccine research, attempting to fuse anthrax with the coronavirus spike protein. They are also attempting to do the same for measles.
Those are essentially gain of function studies. The person that runs their center for vaccine research at UPMC is a major proponent of these gain of function studies. And when there was a gain of function moratorium, he was its most vocal opponent and was giving all these talks to government officials about how it needed to be lifted.
What’s very odd about what’s going on at UPMC is that in the beginning of the year they were set to produce what could have easily been the first coronavirus vaccine, a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, but it used traditional and tested vaccination methods that are already on the market …
Oddly enough after that had made some headlines … UPMC received a lot of money from CEPI [the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations], which of course is backed by Gates, and as soon as that money was received, that vaccine candidate was quietly dropped, and in its place were these experiments to merge measles with the coronavirus spike protein, and then merge anthrax with that same spike protein.
‘Dark Winter’ may not mean much to the mainstream American public, but it certainly means something to the national security community when they hear that term being thrown around on TV. And then you have Bill Gates saying that after the coronavirus pandemic there’s going to be a bioterror attack.
You also have the Council of Europe, a very influential and elitist think tank in Europe, saying that coronavirus will be followed by bioterror. High-ranking former CIA officials [are also saying it]. A lot of the people involved in Dark Winter in the biodefense industrial complex, which was created after the 2001 anthrax attacks, are all saying the same thing.
We really need to start listening to these people. Of course, they in advance have a narrative they create, not unlike the Dark Winter 2001 exercise itself, which initially claimed that the anthrax attacks were committed by Iraq working with Al-Qaeda. And then lo and behold it’s traced to the U.S. military (at Ft. Detrick) so obviously it did not come from Iraq or from Al-Qaeda.
What you have now are attempts to seed the similar narrative about who will be blamed for events upcoming in the future. They set it up on purpose, I would argue, so that when the event takes place, people are more receptive to those predetermined narratives about this particular crisis and don’t immediately start questioning what could have happened.
They essentially want these events to take place. They want to ramp up the fear, and then they want to conveniently tack blame to something very quickly before an actual thorough investigation can take place. That’s what we saw in the aftermath of September 11 and also in the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax attacks.”
Be Ready, but Not Fearful
If you listen to the interview in its entirety, you’ll have a good idea of why I’m so impressed with Webb’s investigative skills. It’s important to become educated about what’s really happening so that you don’t capitulate to the fear they’re seeking to imbue in us.
It’s a fearful public that allows the technocratic elite to dictate the future and rip away our personal freedoms. It’s fear that allows tyranny to flourish. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. But enough of us must be willing to stand up and say no, we won’t accept this plan.
On another level, being aware of the plan allows you to plan for your own safety and security ahead of time, so you’re not running around in a panic when something does happen. As the old saying goes, “Being forewarned is being forearmed.”
