Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the state

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the state ~ James Jesus Angleton, Head of CIA Counter Intelligence 1954-1974

It is a shame that James Angleton was so right in his statement and that it is still as valid, if not even more so, today than it was then. Instead of becoming more open government and society has become more deceptive and secretive.

It is all a game of smoke and mirrors and the general public do not seem to see this or simply do not want to see and accept it. They go even as far as saying that if the government would be planning anything evil (against the people) they would announce it on TV. Right, sure, and pigs do fly!

It is the people that gave and give government the right to exist and not the other way round and thus government is accountable to the people regardless of what they may think.

However, it would appear that it will take something other than the so-called democratic process of elections to get that into the thick skulls of the Skull & Bones people that have decided that they can lord it over the people who put them into office – unfortunately often – in the first place.

Overthrowing the government is, by the powers-that-be or better the powers-that-they-have-assumed, regarded as treason but who put them there. We, the People, did and it is the right of the people to remove a tyrannical government and one that disregards the people.

Government has only those rights of existence as given to it by the people and if the people remove consent the the government has no longer got any right to govern. It is as simple as that. That is the theory. In practice things are different as the powers-that-be will not allow themselves to be removed and replaced, not even by so-called democratic means.

Democracy is one of those smoke and mirrors devices that the ruling classes have invented in order to deceive the people and make them believe that they, the people, have a say in who governs them and how they are being governed.

Time to de-cloak the real enemy of the people...

The government controls

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

The government controls our water supply (including, in many places in the USA the rainwater, making rainwater harvesting illegal), our food supply, our medical supply, our media, our armed forces, our police. They all our money and all of the most horrifying weapons on earth.

In short, the government controls everything, including and especially each and every one of us.

Do you see anything wrong with that equation? I do!

The fact is that we do not seem to (be able) to control the government, and that is what we should be able to do. They are, to all intents and purposes, our servants and not we theirs.

However, the way things have turned out, and We, the People, have allowed this to happen by demanding more and more (false) security, is that they are intent on controlling us and everything else.

Government control of everything is fascism, regardless of the color of the regime, whether it claims to be democratic, socialist, communist, or whatever. And, in Europe, this control of everything has gotten worse ever since the European Union has usurped the power that is it its to have and use and even more so since none of them – bar the so-called MEPs – are elected. The fact that they are unelected makes the unanswerable to the people and this is a dictatorship regardless of whether the dictate comes from but one man or a group of them. It still is a dictatorship.

The sheeple have been so brainwashed, however, that they are unable to see this and demand more and more security from the government, for which they are prepared to give up their freedoms and expect everyone else to do so too.

But, this is exactly what the powers-that-be want the people to demand and clamor for so that they, the powers-that-be can get more and more power and control over the people, all the people.

Oh, say the sheeple, but we all have to be prepared to surrender some of our liberties so that the police and the security services can keep us safe (from terrorist attacks). But by doing so we give them the little finger and they take not just one hand but both and take away more and more freedoms in the name of needing to make the streets secure, and the Internet, and this, that and the other.

They also think they have to control food by decreeing which seeds and plants we are allowed to grown (and thus eat) and which herbs we can or cannot use (for medicine). All seeds must be licensed in order to be sold and used, and herbal medicine has been outlawed to be sold as medicine, at least in the EU. Though, it has to be said, if the same are referred to as “food supplements” they can, for the time being, still be sold.

The government is trying to tell us what we can eat, what medicines we can and cannot use, what water we can use, and, no doubt, very soon they will tell us where we can and cannot live.

This is wrong and needs to change and this means that we need a new system; not a new government. We need no government, period!

The USA: Now also the Internet policeman?

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

Not content with its self-appointed role as world cop the United States now have decided it also must police and have total control of the Internet, with full power of decision as to what is allowed and what is not.

This is rather interesting if we consider that if and when Iran, or China or any other any other country block access to certain sites, especially American propaganda ones, the US is the first to call “foul” or “illegal censorship”. It appears there are two standards and two set of rules; one for the USA and one for everyone else.

While, according to the USA, it is foul and illegal censorship when sites, especially American sites, are being blocked by China, Russia, Iran, it is not, it would seem, when it is done by or on behest of the American government and its backers.

A variety of supposed justifications are put about as also in the latter half of January 2012 when Megaupload, a major file sharing and -hosting platform, was shut down but the US authorities and four people were arrested in conjunction with this in New Zealand on order of the FBI.

The SOPA proposals are not even law as yet and still the US takes it upon itself to close down websites or orders, and I stress orders, other countries to shut them down.

America is getting too big, way too big, for its little boots. A serious counterbalance is needed. Someone, some country, who is prepared to put the US in its place but there is no one left out there.

The USSR, which was the counterbalance, faulty as it was, is history: Others just simply do not exist with the possible exception of China.

When President Obama came to power it was hoped by many that the excesses and abuses of the Bush era were at an end. Alas, it was all but rhetoric and business continues as usual.

The SOPA proposals began under Bush, if I am not mistaken, and Obama and those that actually pull the strings behind the scenes – yes, all any US President is is a puppet – want this power and even more in order to totally control the Internet.

The Powers-That-Be do not like the freedoms of the Internet (and of digital publishing) and the fact that it gives ordinary people a voice as citizen journalists and -reporters, as Bloggers. The fear the Blogger like nothing else.

The Internet allows – in its current state – people to publish and distribute their own books without the control of publishing houses and the censors and that too goes very much against the grain of The Powers-That-Be.

To The Powers-That-Be the Internet, and the freedom that it gives people, is an anathema and while they may – as a cover – have a go at the likes of China with regards to restrictions imposed there on Internet usages, etc., the restrictions that they have in mind to impose on the Internet per se are even more draconian than those restrictive countries employ.

They know that the Internet can be a tool used against them and hence they will try to find a way, under guises and excuses, curb the Net and its freedoms, if we are not careful.

The most dangerous government is not one that is (openly) hostile against its people and its neighbors but one that seems to be benign and friendly. It is those where we let our guard down at our peril for they are capable of lulling us to sleep.

The Powers-That-Be, which control the US, and probably, by proxy, also the UK and the EU, are not benign and the Internet, and the capacity that it gives to the people, gives them the jitters. And while, as said, they may rant and rave when during demonstrations and actions such as in the “Arab Spring” the Internet was cut in places such as Egypt, Libya, etc., they intend to do the very same if protests happen on their patch.

America, however, is the one that wants to call the shots and that absolutely everywhere, as one can see by the actions against Megaupload (and the attempt to silence WikiLeaks). One can but wonder as to what was really being distributed by Megaupload. Was it a movie about something sensitive or what?

The US government has ordered YouTube before to pull videos and user accounts with regards to footage from demonstrations such as the Occupy Movement ones and the related brutal police actions against peaceful protesters, and others. So, I guess we may as well wonder...

We need to have a counterbalance again and in the lieu of the USSR is will have to be “We The People”.
