thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-01--This Is Not a Revolution. It’s a Blueprint for Locking Down the Nation

There is something being concocted in the dens of power , far beyond the public eye , and it doesn ’ t bode well for the future of this country .
Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by political theater and public spectacle that they are oblivious to all else , you ’ d better beware .
Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows , speaks in a language of force , and rules by fiat , you ’ d better beware .
And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen , heard or heeded by those elected to represent them , you ’ d better beware .
What is unfolding before us is not a revolution .
The looting , the burning , the rioting , the violence : this is an anti-revolution .
The protesters are playing right into the government ’ s hands , because the powers-that-be want this .
They want an excuse to lockdown the nation and throw the switch to all-out martial law .
They want a reason to make the police state stronger .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up .
The Justice Department is deploying federal prison riot teams to various cities .
More than half of the nation ’ s governors are calling on the National Guard to quell civil unrest .
Growing numbers of cities , having just barely emerged from a coronavirus lockdown , are once again being locked down , this time in response to the growing upheaval .
This is how it begins .
It ’ s that dystopian 2030 Pentagon training video all over again , which anticipates the need for the government to institute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solve domestic political and social problems ) in order to navigate a world bedeviled by “ criminal networks , ” “ substandard infrastructure , ” “ religious and ethnic tensions , ” “ impoverishment , slums , ” “ open landfills , over-burdened sewers , ” a “ growing mass of unemployed , ” and an urban landscape in which the prosperous economic elite must be protected from the impoverishment of the have nots .
The architects of the police state have us exactly where they want us : under their stamping boot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freedom , grappling for some semblance of a future that does not resemble the totalitarian prison being erected around us .
This way lies certain tyranny .
For just one fleeting moment , “ we the people ” seemed united in our outrage over this latest killing of an unarmed man by a cop hyped up on his own authority and the power of his uniform .
Indeed , it didn ’ t take long—no surprise there—for us to quickly become divided again , polarized by the misguided fury and senseless violence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of madness and mayhem .
Deliberately or not , the rioters have directed our attention away from the government ’ s crimes and onto their own .
Don ’ t allow yourself to be so distracted .
Let ’ s not lose sight of what started all of this in the first place : the U.S. government .
More than terrorism , more than domestic extremism , more than gun violence and organized crime , the systemic violence being perpetrated by agents of the government constitutes a greater menace to the life , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us .
Case in point : George Floyd died at the hands of the American police state .
The callous , cold-blooded murder of the unarmed , 46-year-old black man by police is nothing new : for 8 minutes and 46 seconds , police knelt on Floyd ’ s neck while the man pleaded for his life , struggled to breathe , cried out for his dead mother , and finally passed out and died .
Floyd is yet another victim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has placed “ we the people ” at the mercy of militarized cops who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat , what constitutes resistance , and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to “ serve and protect.
” Daily , Americans are being shot , stripped , searched , choked , beaten and tasered by police for little more than daring to frown , smile , question , challenge an order or just exist .
I ’ m talking about the growing numbers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killed for just standing a certain way , or moving a certain way , or holding something—anything—that police could misinterpret to be a gun , or igniting some trigger-centric fear in a police officer ’ s mind that has nothing to do with an actual threat to their safety .
Killed by police for standing in a “ shooting stance.
” Killed for holding a cell phone .
Killed for holding a baseball bat .
Killed for opening the front door .
Killed for being a child in a car pursued by police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a metal spoon .
Killed for running in an aggressive manner while holding a tree branch .
Killed for crawling around naked .
Killed for hunching over in a defensive posture .
Killed because a police officer accidentally fired his gun instead of his taser .
Killed for wearing dark pants and a basketball jersey .
Killed for reaching for his license and registration during a traffic stop .
Killed for driving while deaf .
Killed for being homeless .
Killed for brandishing a shoehorn .
Killed for peeing outdoors .
Killed for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ road .
Killed for holding a garden hose .
Now you can make all kinds of excuses to justify these shootings , and in fact that ’ s exactly what you ’ ll hear from politicians , police unions , law enforcement officials and individuals who are more than happy to march in lockstep with the police .
However , as these incidents make clear , the only truly compliant , submissive and obedient citizen in a police state is a dead one .
Sad , isn ’ t it , how quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laws—where the least among us had just as much right to be treated with dignity and respect as the next person ( in principle , at least ) —to a nation of law enforcers ( revenue collectors with weapons ) who treat us all like suspects and criminals ?
This is not how you keep the peace .
This is not justice .
This is not even law and order .
This is certainly not freedom .
This is the illusion of freedom .
Unfortunately , we are now being ruled by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thugs , thieves , gangsters , ruffians , rapists , extortionists , bounty hunters , battle-ready warriors and cold-blooded killers who communicate using a language of force and oppression .
The facts speak for themselves .
We ’ re being ravaged by a government of ruffians , rapists and killers .
It ’ s not just the police shootings of unarmed citizens that are worrisome .
It ’ s the SWAT team raids gone wrong that are leaving innocent citizens wounded , children terrorized and family pets killed .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cavity searches of men and women alike carried out in full view of the public—in pursuit of drugs that are never found .
It ’ s the potentially lethal—and unwarranted—use of so-called “ nonlethal ” weapons such as tasers on children for “ mouthing off to a police officer .
For trying to run from the principal ’ s office .
For , at the age of 12 , getting into a fight with another girl.
” We ’ re being held at gunpoint by a government of soldiers—a standing army .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an increasing number of hoops in order to exercise their Second Amendment right to own a gun , the government is arming its own civilian employees to the hilt with guns , ammunition and military-style equipment , authorizing them to make arrests , and training them in military tactics .
Among the agencies being supplied with night-vision equipment , body armor , hollow-point bullets , shotguns , drones , assault rifles and LP gas cannons are the Smithsonian , U.S. Mint , Health and Human Services , IRS , FDA , Small Business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , Education Department , Energy Department , Bureau of Engraving and Printing and an assortment of public universities .
There are now reportedly more bureaucratic ( non-military ) government civilians armed with high-tech , deadly weapons than U.S. Marines .
That doesn ’ t even begin to touch on the government ’ s arsenal , the transformation of local police into extensions of the military , and the speed with which the nation could be locked down under martial law depending on the circumstances .
Clearly , the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , at that—and “ we the people ” are the perceived enemy .
We ’ re being taken advantage of by a government of scoundrels , idiots and cowards .
American satirist H.L .
Mencken calculated that “ Congress consists of one-third , more or less , scoundrels ; two-thirds , more or less , idiots ; and three-thirds , more or less , poltroons.
” By and large , Americans seem to agree .
When you ’ ve got government representatives who spend a large chunk of their work hours fundraising , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lucrative revolving door between public service and lobbying , and making themselves available to anyone with enough money to secure access to a congressional office , you ’ re in the clutches of a corrupt oligarchy .
Mind you , these same elected officials rarely read the legislation they ’ re enacting , nor do they seem capable of enacting much legislation that actually helps rather than hinders the plight of the American citizen .
We ’ re being locked up by a government of greedy jailers .
We have become a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on our prisons than on our schools and imprisoning close to a quarter of the world ’ s prisoners , despite the fact that crime is at an all-time low and the U.S. makes up only 5 % of the world ’ s population .
The rise of overcriminalization and profit-driven private prisons provides even greater incentives for locking up American citizens for such non-violent “ crimes ” as having an overgrown lawn .
As the Boston Review points out , “ America ’ s contemporary system of policing , courts , imprisonment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asset forfeiture , lucrative public contracts from private service providers , and by directly extracting revenue and unpaid labor from populations of color and the poor .
In states and municipalities throughout the country , the criminal justice system defrays costs by forcing prisoners and their families to pay for punishment .
It also allows private service providers to charge outrageous fees for everyday needs such as telephone calls .
As a result people facing even minor criminal charges can easily find themselves trapped in a self-perpetuating cycle of debt , criminalization , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spied on by a government of Peeping Toms .
The government , aided by its corporate allies , is watching everything you do , reading everything you write , listening to everything you say , and monitoring everything you spend .
Omnipresent surveillance is paving the way for government programs that profile citizens , document their behavior and attempt to predict what they might do in the future , whether it ’ s what they might buy , what politician they might support , or what kinds of crimes they might commit .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to Psychology Today , is “ reduced trust , increased conformity , and even diminished civic participation.
” As technology analyst Jillian C. York concludes , “ Mass surveillance without due process—whether undertaken by the government of Bahrain , Russia , the US , or anywhere in between—threatens to stifle and smother that dissent , leaving in its wake a populace cowed by fear.
” We ’ re being forced to surrender our freedoms—and those of our children—to a government of extortionists , money launderers and professional pirates .
The American people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goods about how the government needs more money , more expansive powers , and more secrecy ( secret courts , secret budgets , secret military campaigns , secret surveillance ) in order to keep us safe .
Under the guise of fighting its wars on terror , drugs , domestic extremism , pandemics and civil unrest , the government has spent billions in taxpayer dollars on endless wars that have sown the seeds of blowback , surveillance programs that have subjected all Americans to a surveillance society , and militarized police that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re being robbed blind by a government of thieves .
Americans no longer have any real protection against government agents empowered to seize private property at will .
For instance , police agencies under the guise of asset forfeiture laws are taking property based on little more than a suspicion of criminal activity .
And we ’ re being forced to live in a perpetual state of emergency .
From 9/11 through the COVID-19 lockdowns and now the threat of martial law in the face of growing civil unrest , we have witnessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” that justifies all manner of government tyranny and power grabs in the so-called name of national security .
Whatever else it may be—a danger , a menace , a threat—the U.S. government is certainly not looking out for our best interests , nor is it in any way a friend to freedom .
When the government views itself as superior to the citizenry , when it no longer operates for the benefit of the people , when the people are no longer able to peacefully reform their government , when government officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when elected officials no longer represent the will of the people , when the government routinely violates the rights of the people and perpetrates more violence against the citizenry than the criminal class , when government spending is unaccountable and unaccounted for , when the judiciary act as courts of order rather than justice , and when the government is no longer bound by the laws of the Constitution , then you no longer have a government “ of the people , by the people and for the people.
” What we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backs are against the proverbial wall .
The government and its cohorts have conspired to ensure that the only real recourse the American people have to express their displeasure with the government is through voting , which is no real recourse at all .
The penalties for civil disobedience , whistleblowing and rebellion are severe .
If you refuse to pay taxes for government programs you believe to be immoral or illegal , you will go to jail .
If you attempt to overthrow the government—or any agency thereof—because you believe it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to jail .
If you attempt to blow the whistle on government misconduct , there ’ s a pretty good chance you will go to jail .
For too long , the American people have obeyed the government ’ s dictates , no matter now extreme .
We have paid its taxes , penalties and fines , no matter how outrageous .
We have tolerated its indignities , insults and abuses , no matter how egregious .
We have turned a blind eye to its indiscretions and incompetence , no matter how imprudent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the face of its lawlessness , licentiousness and corruption , no matter how illicit .
How long we will continue to suffer depends on how much we ’ re willing to give up for the sake of freedom .
America ’ s founders provided us with a very specific explanation about the purpose of government and a roadmap for what to do when the government abuses its authority , ignores our objections , and establishes itself as a tyrant .
We must choose between peaceful slavery ( in other words , maintaining the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state ) and dangerous freedom .
That will mean carving out a path in which we begin to take ownership of our government , starting at the local level , challenging the status quo , and raising hell—nonviolently—whenever a government official steps out of line .
We can no longer maintain the illusion of freedom .
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , we are at our most vulnerable right now .

“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you—pull your beard, flick your face—to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you.”—John Lennon
Brace yourselves.
There is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country.
Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by political theater and public spectacle that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware.
Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware.
And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you’d better beware.
What is unfolding before us is not a revolution.
The looting, the burning, the rioting, the violence: this is an anti-revolution.
The protesters are playing right into the government’s hands, because the powers-that-be want this. They want an excuse to lockdown the nation and throw the switch to all-out martial law. They want a reason to make the police state stronger.
It’s happening faster than we can keep up.
The Justice Department is deploying federal prison riot teams to various cities. More than half of the nation’s governors are calling on the National Guard to quell civil unrest. Growing numbers of cities, having just barely emerged from a coronavirus lockdown, are once again being locked down, this time in response to the growing upheaval.
This is how it begins.
It’s that dystopian 2030 Pentagon training video all over again, which anticipates the need for the government to institute martial law (use armed forces to solve domestic political and social problems) in order to navigate a world bedeviled by “criminal networks,” “substandard infrastructure,” “religious and ethnic tensions,” “impoverishment, slums,” “open landfills, over-burdened sewers,” a “growing mass of unemployed,” and an urban landscape in which the prosperous economic elite must be protected from the impoverishment of the have nots.
We’re way ahead of schedule.
The architects of the police state have us exactly where they want us: under their stamping boot, gasping for breath, desperate for freedom, grappling for some semblance of a future that does not resemble the totalitarian prison being erected around us.
This way lies certain tyranny.
For just one fleeting moment, “we the people” seemed united in our outrage over this latest killing of an unarmed man by a cop hyped up on his own authority and the power of his uniform.
That unity didn’t last.
Indeed, it didn’t take long—no surprise there—for us to quickly become divided again, polarized by the misguided fury and senseless violence of mobs taking to the streets, reeking of madness and mayhem.
Deliberately or not, the rioters have directed our attention away from the government’s crimes and onto their own.
This is a distraction.
Don’t allow yourself to be so distracted.
Let’s not lose sight of what started all of this in the first place: the U.S. government.
More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, the systemic violence being perpetrated by agents of the government constitutes a greater menace to the life, liberty and property of its citizens than any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us.
Case in point: George Floyd died at the hands of the American police state.
The callous, cold-blooded murder of the unarmed, 46-year-old black man by police is nothing new: for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, police knelt on Floyd’s neck while the man pleaded for his life, struggled to breathe, cried out for his dead mother, and finally passed out and died.
Floyd is yet another victim of a broken system of policing that has placed “we the people” at the mercy of militarized cops who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat, what constitutes resistance, and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to “serve and protect.”
Daily, Americans are being shot, stripped, searched, choked, beaten and tasered by police for little more than daring to frown, smile, question, challenge an order or just exist.
I’m talking about the growing numbers of unarmed people are who being shot and killed for just standing a certain way, or moving a certain way, or holding something—anything—that police could misinterpret to be a gun, or igniting some trigger-centric fear in a police officer’s mind that has nothing to do with an actual threat to their safety.
Killed by police for standing in a “shooting stance.” Killed for holding a cell phone. Killed for holding a baseball bat. Killed for opening the front door. Killed for being a child in a car pursued by police. Killed for approaching police while holding a metal spoon. Killed for running in an aggressive manner while holding a tree branch. Killed for crawling around naked. Killed for hunching over in a defensive posture. Killed because a police officer accidentally fired his gun instead of his taser. Killed for wearing dark pants and a basketball jersey. Killed for reaching for his license and registration during a traffic stop. Killed for driving while deaf. Killed for being homeless. Killed for brandishing a shoehorn. Killed for peeing outdoors. Killed for having his car break down on the road. Killed for holding a garden hose.
Now you can make all kinds of excuses to justify these shootings, and in fact that’s exactly what you’ll hear from politicians, police unions, law enforcement officials and individuals who are more than happy to march in lockstep with the police. However, as these incidents make clear, the only truly compliant, submissive and obedient citizen in a police state is a dead one.

This is not how you keep the peace.
This is not justice. This is not even law and order.
This is certainly not freedom. This is the illusion of freedom.
Unfortunately, we are now being ruled by a government of psychopaths, scoundrels, spies, thugs, thieves, gangsters, ruffians, rapists, extortionists, bounty hunters, battle-ready warriors and cold-blooded killers who communicate using a language of force and oppression.
The facts speak for themselves.
We’re being ravaged by a government of ruffians, rapists and killers. It’s not just the police shootings of unarmed citizens that are worrisome. It’s the SWAT team raids gone wrong that are leaving innocent citizens wounded, children terrorized and family pets killed. It’s the roadside strip searches—in some cases, cavity searches of men and women alike carried out in full view of the public—in pursuit of drugs that are never found.

There are now reportedly more bureaucratic (non-military) government civilians armed with high-tech, deadly weapons than U.S. Marines. That doesn’t even begin to touch on the government’s arsenal, the transformation of local police into extensions of the military, and the speed with which the nation could be locked down under martial law depending on the circumstances. Clearly, the government is preparing for war—and a civil war, at that—and “we the people” are the perceived enemy.
We’re being taken advantage of by a government of scoundrels, idiots and cowards. American satirist H.L. Mencken calculated that “Congress consists of one-third, more or less, scoundrels; two-thirds, more or less, idiots; and three-thirds, more or less, poltroons.” By and large, Americans seem to agree.

Mind you, these same elected officials rarely read the legislation they’re enacting, nor do they seem capable of enacting much legislation that actually helps rather than hinders the plight of the American citizen.
We’re being locked up by a government of greedy jailers. We have become a carceral state, spending three times more on our prisons than on our schools and imprisoning close to a quarter of the world’s prisoners, despite the fact that crime is at an all-time low and the U.S. makes up only 5% of the world’s population. The rise of overcriminalization and profit-driven private prisons provides even greater incentives for locking up American citizens for such non-violent “crimes” as having an overgrown lawn.

We’re being spied on by a government of Peeping Toms. The government, aided by its corporate allies, is watching everything you do, reading everything you write, listening to everything you say, and monitoring everything you spend. Omnipresent surveillance is paving the way for government programs that profile citizens, document their behavior and attempt to predict what they might do in the future, whether it’s what they might buy, what politician they might support, or what kinds of crimes they might commit. The impact of this far-reaching surveillance, according to Psychology Today, is “reduced trust, increased conformity, and even diminished civic participation.” As technology analyst Jillian C.

We’re being forced to surrender our freedoms—and those of our children—to a government of extortionists, money launderers and professional pirates. The American people have been repeatedly sold a bill of goods about how the government needs more money, more expansive powers, and more secrecy (secret courts, secret budgets, secret military campaigns, secret surveillance) in order to keep us safe. Under the guise of fighting its wars on terror, drugs, domestic extremism, pandemics and civil unrest, the government has spent billions in taxpayer dollars on endless wars that have sown the seeds of blowback, surveillance programs that have subjected all Americans to a surveillance society, and militarized police that have turned communities into warzones.
We’re being robbed blind by a government of thieves. Americans no longer have any real protection against government agents empowered to seize private property at will. For instance, police agencies under the guise of asset forfeiture laws are taking property based on little more than a suspicion of criminal activity.
And we’re being forced to live in a perpetual state of emergency. From 9/11 through the COVID-19 lockdowns and now the threat of martial law in the face of growing civil unrest, we have witnessed the rise of an “emergency state” that justifies all manner of government tyranny and power grabs in the so-called name of national security.
Whatever else it may be—a danger, a menace, a threat—the U.S. government is certainly not looking out for our best interests, nor is it in any way a friend to freedom.
When the government views itself as superior to the citizenry, when it no longer operates for the benefit of the people, when the people are no longer able to peacefully reform their government, when government officials cease to act like public servants, when elected officials no longer represent the will of the people, when the government routinely violates the rights of the people and perpetrates more violence against the citizenry than the criminal class, when government spending is unaccountable and unaccounted for, when the judiciary act as courts of order rather than justice, and when the government is no longer bound by the laws of the Constitution, then you no longer have a government “of the people, by the people and for the people.”
What we have is a government of wolves.
Our backs are against the proverbial wall.
The government and its cohorts have conspired to ensure that the only real recourse the American people have to express their displeasure with the government is through voting, which is no real recourse at all.
The penalties for civil disobedience, whistleblowing and rebellion are severe. If you refuse to pay taxes for government programs you believe to be immoral or illegal, you will go to jail. If you attempt to overthrow the government—or any agency thereof—because you believe it has overstepped its reach, you will go to jail. If you attempt to blow the whistle on government misconduct, there’s a pretty good chance you will go to jail.
For too long, the American people have obeyed the government’s dictates, no matter now extreme. We have paid its taxes, penalties and fines, no matter how outrageous. We have tolerated its indignities, insults and abuses, no matter how egregious. We have turned a blind eye to its indiscretions and incompetence, no matter how imprudent. We have held our silence in the face of its lawlessness, licentiousness and corruption, no matter how illicit.
We have suffered.
How long we will continue to suffer depends on how much we’re willing to give up for the sake of freedom.
America’s founders provided us with a very specific explanation about the purpose of government and a roadmap for what to do when the government abuses its authority, ignores our objections, and establishes itself as a tyrant.
We must choose between peaceful slavery (in other words, maintaining the status quo in servitude to the police state) and dangerous freedom. That will mean carving out a path in which we begin to take ownership of our government, starting at the local level, challenging the status quo, and raising hell—nonviolently—whenever a government official steps out of line.
We can no longer maintain the illusion of freedom.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People , we are at our most vulnerable right now.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-01--January 2020: George Soros Warns Of Potential Economic Doom Before Election

One of the key , if not the most principal ( but unreported ) aspects of these national riots is how well coordinated and well funded they are .
These things don ’ t just happen , they are made to happen .
George Soros spent upwards of $ 30 millions to defeat George Bush , and Bush was a spineless RINO .
Imagine how much he is spending to incite this civil war – all to defeat the greatest American president of our lifetime , President Trump .
And this video shows protesters being paid off : George Soros @ @ @ @ @ @ @ headed for calamity as a result of President Donald Trump ’ s efforts to juice American business .
“ The stock market , already celebrating Trump ’ s military success , is breaking out to reach new heights , ” he said .
“ But an overheated economy can ’ t be kept boiling for too long.
” The longtime investor ’ s comment came on the heels of fresh record highs in the U.S. stock market and amid the longest bull market in American history Liberal billionaire George Soros said Thursday that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calamity as a result of President Donald Trump ’ s efforts to juice American business and stock prices ahead of the 2020 election .
“ Trump ’ s economic team has managed to overheat an already buoyant economy , ” Soros warned his guests at an informal dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos , Switzerland .
“ The stock market , already celebrating Trump ’ s military success , is breaking out to reach new heights , ” he said .
“ But an overheated economy can ’ t be kept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this had happened closer to the elections , it would have assured his reelection.
” “ His problem is that the elections are still 10 months away , and in a revolutionary situation , that is a lifetime , ” Soros said .
Soros , an 89-year-old Democratic megadonor whose net worth peaks at more than $ 8 billion , delivered the remarks at the dinner held during the forum , an annual conference set in the Swiss Alps and known for featuring elite business and political leaders .

“[Trump’s] problem is that the elections are still 10 months away, and in a revolutionary situation, that is a lifetime,” Soros said.
One of the key, if not the most principal (but unreported) aspects of these national riots is how well coordinated and well funded they are. These things don’t just happen, they are made to happen.

George Soros said that the U.S. economy could be headed for calamity as a result of President Donald Trump’s efforts to juice American business.
“The stock market, already celebrating Trump’s military success, is breaking out to reach new heights,” he said. “But an overheated economy can’t be kept boiling for too long.”
The longtime investor’s comment came on the heels of fresh record highs in the U.S. stock market and amid the longest bull market in American history
Liberal billionaire George Soros said Thursday that the U.S. economy could be headed for calamity as a result of President Donald Trump’s efforts to juice American business and stock prices ahead of the 2020 election.
“Trump’s economic team has managed to overheat an already buoyant economy,” Soros warned his guests at an informal dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“The stock market, already celebrating Trump’s military success, is breaking out to reach new heights,” he said. “But an overheated economy can’t be kept boiling for too long. If all this had happened closer to the elections, it would have assured his reelection.”
“His problem is that the elections are still 10 months away, and in a revolutionary situation, that is a lifetime,” Soros said.
Soros, an 89-year-old Democratic megadonor whose net worth peaks at more than $8 billion, delivered the remarks at the dinner held during the forum, an annual conference set in the Swiss Alps and known for featuring elite business and political leaders.

Today’s riots stemming from the supposed murder of black man George Floyd at the hands of white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin are using this incident as an excuse for mass rioting when in fact they are exclusively for weakening President Trump’s popularity.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-01--From Soft To Hard Fascism: “Get In Your House Right Now!” – America Is Now A Full-Blown Fascist Stat

From Soft To Hard Fascism: “Get In Your House Right Now!” – America Is Now A Full-Blown Fascist State

There can no longer be any doubt—America is now a full-blown fascist state .
In the past , authoritarian fascism was kept reserved in the shadows , largely out of the public eye , but in a remarkably short period of time it has emerged from the darkness to show its fangs and snarl menacingly at the people , many of them cowed and dutifully following irrational orders from on high .
As the following video demonstrates , state violence is not directed exclusively at rioters and Antifa goons pretending to be anarchists ( most would be unable to define @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burn , and attack the media and innocent bystanders .
Violence is used to frighten and intimidate the real enemies of the state—the American people , or those who casually and defy the COVID lockdown and others peacefully protesting murder at the hand of a psychopathic cop .
Fortunately , the woman in the video was not seriously injured .
She wasn ’ t looting Target or burning down Walmart .
The woman made the mistake of venturing out on the porch of her home , her private property , and for this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paintball by a member of a “ state militia ” ( now federalized ) .

There can no longer be any doubt—America is now a full-blown fascist state. In the past, authoritarian fascism was kept reserved in the shadows, largely out of the public eye, but in a remarkably short period of time it has emerged from the darkness to show its fangs and snarl menacingly at the people, many of them cowed and dutifully following irrational orders from on high.
As the following video demonstrates, state violence is not directed exclusively at rioters and Antifa goons pretending to be anarchists (most would be unable to define the term) as they loot, burn, and attack the media and innocent bystanders. Violence is used to frighten and intimidate the real enemies of the state—the American people, or those who casually and defy the COVID lockdown and others peacefully protesting murder at the hand of a psychopathic cop.

Fortunately, the woman in the video was not seriously injured. She wasn’t looting Target or burning down Walmart. The woman made the mistake of venturing out on the porch of her home, her private property, and for this crime, she was shot with a paintball by a member of a “state militia” (now federalized).
The social fabric is coming apart at the seams. First mandatory lockdowns, state-imposed impoverishment, followed by an unfolding Greatest Depression as a result of a shutdown economy, and now social unrest, violence, theft, and arson in two dozen large cities across the country.
If this degree of violence and destruction is possible centered around the death of a single man, imagine what will happen when millions of people are in desperate straits, unemployed, many evicted, and homeless. It will not be simply police stations that go up in flames. It will be statehouses.

In a recently leaked report, released by a German official, details show that the coronavirus panic was a fake pandemic and a “global false alarm.” Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control (crafting the official narrative) after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.
According to a report by The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, some of the important bits are as follows:
Some of the report key passages are:
– The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level. – The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation). – Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18. – The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm. – A reproach could go along these lines: During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.
If you think that’s scathing, just wait. It gets worse than that. Ever wonder why they had to pivot so quickly from the coronavirus scamdemic panic and create riots and looting? Well, there’s more:
-More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus. -The reason is a scandal in the making: A Corona-focused German healthcare system is postponing life-saving surgery and delaying or reducing treatment for non-Corona patients.
The German government quickly went to work trying to craft an official narrative and the media immediately began their attempt to dismiss the report as “the work of one employee”, and its contents as “his own opinion.” The journalists fell in line like good order followers to help keep the state in power. They closed ranks and no questions were asked of the politicians or ruling class.
But the 93-pages report titled “Analysis of the Crisis Management” has been drafted by a scientific panel appointed by the interior ministry and composed by external medical experts from several German universities. German official turned whistleblower, Stephen Kohn, who worked for the interior ministry, leaked the report.
The authors of the report issued a joint press release already May 11th, berating the government for ignoring expert advice, and asking for the interior minister to officially comment upon the experts’ joint statement:
Therapeutic and preventive measures should never bring more harm than the illness itself. Their aim should be to protect the risk groups, without endangering the availability of medical care and the health of the whole population, as it is unfortunately occurring
The media of course, went strain to shooting the messenger in the form of character assassination (it works the same in every country when someone stands up to the ruling class) instead of reporting on the message. “Stephen Kohn [the whistleblower] has since been suspended from duty. He was advised to obtain a lawyer and his work laptop was confiscated,” the media reported.
The media and the ruling class don’t want anyone to know that people are rejecting them in massive numbers. Germans are saying no to any Orwellian solution the government might one day impose out of a questionable “emergency status”, from mass surveillance Apps to mandatory vaccinations.
All over the world people are realizing the degree to which they’ve been controlled ad all over the world, people are rising up and saying “enough” to the political overlords who command them to bend the knee and bow in servitude for eternity.
