‘Boston Strong’: Marching in Lockstep with the Police State

"Tsarnaev’s case may prove to be the game-changer. Yet as journalist Emily Bazelon points out for Slate: 'Why should I care that no one’s reading Dzhokhar Tsarnaev his Miranda rights? When the law gets bent out of shape for him, it’s easier to bend out of shape for the rest of us.' This continual undermining of the rules that protect civil liberties, not to mention the incessant rush to judgment by politicians, members of the media and the public, will inevitably have far-reaching consequences on a populace that not only remains ignorant about their rights but is inclined to sacrifice their liberties for phantom promises of safety."

Gerald Celente: Sneak Peek At New Trends Journal & Boston Tragedy

"There was a recent article that came out about the amount of suicides and desperate moves people are making in desperation about what’s going on around the world. You know my saying, ‘When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.’ And people are starting to lose it. I believe the actions that were taken with police, military, and armored vehicles, 10,000 troops to go after a 19-year old kid in Boston, are the beginning of more to come. So as societies breakdown you are going to see more and more Martial Law put in place to keep the people in place." Continue reading →

Disaster in Watertown

"Back in the Clinton days, people who lived in crime-ridden apartment complexes in Chicago and other places wanted the police to conduct warrantless sweeps or searches. This kind of ignorance like that from those who applaud the Watertown search is a compelling argument against being forced into a society whose rules one must obey or whose guns one must obey when its people decide to tear up the rules. The authorities are supposed to know the rules and follow them and to protect against intrusions against them. Of course, this is a pipe dream when fewer and fewer people, in and out of office, either know their rights or feel them in their hearts." Continue reading →

Michael Scheuer: U.S. leaders’ fingerprints are on the detonators

"While the Tsarnaev brothers apparently conducted the Marathon bombings in Boston, the detonators of those bombs also have the fingerprints of most Democratic and Republican politicians all over them, and those men and women are in a measure responsible for each and every one of the Boston casualties. Why? Because once again it is blatantly obvious from the evidence the authorities have presented to date that the attackers were motivated by what the U.S. government does in the Muslim world and not because of our freedoms, liberties, and gender equality."

Gold Crash 2013 – Deliberately Engineered?

"Traders will be looking for a significant turnaround to the upside in price before entering long positions. However, a long-term, fundamentals-based trader has to look at the low price as a buying opportunity. I can't prove it, but I think the fundamentals will drive the long-term market more than these short-term events. The fight between pricing from the physical market for bullion and that from the 'paper market' of futures is showing signs of discrimination and disagreement, as the physical market is booming, while prices set by futures are seemingly pressured to go nowhere. In short, I think this is a strong buying opportunity." Continue reading →

Obama Has a New 401(k) – Yours

"The total value of U.S. private pensions stands around $18 trillion, more than 25% of that in IRAs — no coincidence that figure is not far from the fast-growing U.S national debt, currently at $16.8 trillion. As our nation’s debt is projected to skyrocket to a mind-boggling $35 trillion by 2025, you can bet Washington politicians are eyeballing this mountain of pension cash. One way to protect your IRA or other retirement plans is to move your plan out of the jurisdiction of the United States and locate your assets and their management offshore, or start a new plan offshore."

Why You Hear Nothing About The West, Texas Firefighters

"Why do you hear nothing about the fire fighters killed in the Texas fertilizer plant explosion? Because they were volunteers. You can't be a hero unless you're living off taxes. You can't be a hero if you die serving your neighbors while doing work that is supposed to be a government monopoly. To government, these men were 'scabs.'" Continue reading →

Anthony Gregory: What Is the Threshold for Martial Law?

"What if a future suspect implicated in a gruesome and dramatic criminal act next year manages to escape justice for months? Can the police now just shut down cities, transportation, and—as they did on Monday*—cell service for as long as they deem necessary? Should normal denizens really have no say of their own on whether they will risk the violent threats that might await them outside? If they have no right to walk about freely today without expecting, at a minimum, serious harassment from authorities, can the same be true on any other day? People tolerate extreme police powers when they seem temporary. But what if the emergency persists?" Continue reading →

Government Should Stop Its Own Violence First

"Since 9/11, law-abiding Americans have been subjected to intrusive 'security' measures and civil-liberties infringements. We have been forced to pay billions of dollars for the Department of Homeland Security and increasingly militarized police departments. What have we to show for it? Two men were able to detonate bombs at the most prominent point in a major city on its biggest day of the year. Intended or not, the bombing was a thumb in the eye of our so-called protectors. Bruce Schneier has aptly described the post-9/11 measures as 'security theater.' Clearly, the emperor has no clothes. Here’s another thing we know: This was a crime, not an act of war."

Chechens?

"From Monday when I first heard of the bombs I was certain that 'the terrorists' would turn out to be with the Provisional wing of the IRA (being Boston and such), with their cell headed by a burly red-head named Paddy O'Furniture. But Chechens are just as befuddling and obscure to the masses and will provide the evil Muslim angle to dangle before the blood-thirsty wolves and the complaisant sheep that still pay attention to the regime's mainstream media disinformation brigade. We are truly living out the script for V for Vendetta, complete with constant false-flag terrorist incidents and militarized police thugs, all geared to enhance fear and government repression."
