“I have seen the future and it is murder” Leonard Cohen.
Chris Hedges does portray a dark, scary, catastrophic future. Humanity is pretty much doomed. Nothing less than the collapse of society at an unprecedented level: Mass spread poverty, mass revolutions, popular revolts, rise of the violent ultra right-wing, violence, murder, and mayhem. You get the idea.
Yet, he offers some spark of hope. Lou

British filmmaker Temujin Doran has released a new movie that is based on the book “The Death of the Liberal Class” by Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges.
The film, titled “Obey,” explores the rise of the corporate state and the future of obedience in a world filled with unfettered capitalism, worsening inequality and environmental changes.
Warning: Viewers may find some of the clips in the film disturbing.
Data presented at the European Congress on Obesity suggests stemming the rise in obesity will cut dementia.
The Alzheimer’s Society charity said regular exercise and a healthy weight were important for reducing risk.
Piling on too many pounds is known to be bad for the body, but there is growing evidence that it is also bad for the mind.
£940m saving predicted
Nobody knows exactly what causes dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease, but body weight appears to be a risk factor.
One study of 8,500 Swedish twins showed that those with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, who are classified as obese, were almost four times as likely to develop dementia as those with a normal BMI.
“Obesity is a major concern that’s going to have a major economic impact on the country”
Tim MarshUK Health Forum
Even those who were clinically overweight, a BMI between 25 and 30, were 71% more likely to develop dementia.
Researchers from the UK Health Forum used computer models to compare what would happen if obesity rates stayed the same or increased to 46% of men and 31% of women by 2050, which has been predicted by some groups.
They said rates of dementia would go from 4,894 cases in every 100,000 people over 65 to 6,662 cases in every 100,000 people over 65.
Keeping obesity levels constant would save around £940m in dementia care, the study predicted.
‘Immediate impact’
Tim Marsh of UK Health Forum said: “We’ve known for a long time about the risks to cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, so this is a new concern.
“Obesity is a major concern that’s going to have a major economic impact on the country and this further compounds that.
“The trouble is there’s a 25-year lag in this. Obesity started increasing in the 80s.”
Jessica Smith, a research officer at Alzheimer’s Society, said: “It’s easy to see the immediate impact of piling on the pounds, but we can’t afford to ignore the long-term effects.
“Evidence shows that obesity increases the risk of developing dementia. This study highlights the impact obesity will have on the numbers of people with the condition in the future.
She added that “maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly – especially in midlife – are hugely important in reducing your risk”.
A powerful excerpt from the new book, “Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe.”
April 17, 2013 |
The following is an excerpt from the new book Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe, by Noam Chomsky and Laray Polk, which takes the form of a series of interviews with MIT Professor Noam Chomsky (Seven Stories, 2013).
Laray Polk: What immediate tensions do you perceive that could lead to nuclear war? How close are we?
Noam Chomsky: Actually, nuclear war has come unpleasantly close many times since 1945. There are literally dozens of occasions in which there was a significant threat of nuclear war. There was one time in 1962 when it was very close, and furthermore, it’s not just the United States. India and Pakistan have come close to nuclear war several times, and the issues remain. Both India and Pakistan are expanding their nuclear arsenals with US support. There are serious possibilities involved with Iran—not Iranian nuclear weapons, but just attacking Iran—and other things can just go wrong. It’s a very tense system, always has been. There are plenty of times when automated systems in the United States— and in Russia,it’s probably worse—have warned of a nuclear attack which would set off an automatic response except that human intervention happened to take place in time, and sometimes in a matter of minutes. That’s playing with fire. That’s a low-probability event, but with low-probability events over a long period, the probability is not low.
There is another possibility that, I think, is not to be dismissed: nuclear terror. Like a dirty bomb in New York City, let’s say. It wouldn’t take tremendous facility to do that. I know US intelligence or people like Graham Allison at Harvard who works on this, they regard it as very likely in the coming years—and who knows what kind of reaction there would be to that. So, I think there are plenty of possibilities. I think it is getting worse. Just like the proliferation problem is getting worse. Take a couple of cases: In September 2009, the Security Council did pass a resolution, S/RES/1887, which was interpreted here as a resolution against Iran. In part it was, but it also called on all states to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty. That’s three states: India, Pakistan, and Israel. The Obama administration immediately informed India that this didn’t apply to them; it informed Israel that it doesn’t apply to them.
If India expands its nuclear capacity, Pakistan almost has to; it can’t compete with India with conventional forces. Not surprisingly, Pakistan developed its nuclear weapons with indirect US support. The Reagan administration pretended they didn’t know anything about it, which of course they did. India reacted to resolution 1887 by announcing that they could now produce nuclear weapons with the same yield as the superpowers. A year before, the United States had signed a deal with India, which broke the pre-existing regime and enabled the US to provide them with nuclear technology—though they hadn’t signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. That’s in violation of congressional legislation going back to India’s first bomb, I suppose around 1974 or so. The United States kind of rammed it through the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and that opens a lot of doors. China reacted by sending nuclear technology to Pakistan. And though the claim is that the technology for India is for civilian use, that doesn’t mean much even if India doesn’t transfer that to nuclear weapons. It means they’re free to transfer what they would have spent on civilian use to nuclear weapons.
And then comes this announcement in 2009 that the International Atomic Energy Agency has been repeatedly trying to get Israel to open its facilities to inspection. The US along with Europe usually has been able to block it. And more significant is the effort in the international agencies to try to move toward a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, which would be quite significant.6 It wouldn’t solve all the problems, but whatever threat Iran may be assumed to pose—and that’s a very interesting question in itself, but let’s suppose for the moment that there is a threat—it would certainly be mitigated and might be ended by a nuclear-weapon-free zone, but the US is blocking it every step of the way.
THE CORPORATION is a Canadian documentary film written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary examines the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. This is explored through specific examples. Bakan wrote the book, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, during the filming of the documentary.
If you’ve ever wondered how the Elite conspirators can really believe what they believe and still live with themselves, this is how. It boils down to one common mindset, where there is no good or bad, just the glorious agenda and end game that justifies any action conceivable.
They really believe they are right. A world of their making is in progress.
The fabulous future world as they see it is a place of peace and plenty with no challenges or inconveniences. For them. The enlightened ones who will bring in the New Age of Enlightenment as per their millennia old plans and programs.
By the way, we’re not part of that plan. Unless you’re one of the sellouts who gave up your soul to their cold, self serving mentalist goals. In that case you might learn something here about how real humans think and derive loving Truth via heart, intuition and consciousness.
But I digress…
The Projection
While the reality of an ongoing soft, slow kill off of “excess humanity”, “useless eaters” or “human resources” ramps up, the arrogant self appointed elites are licking their chops for what they think is the coming culmination of their age old agenda. Total world control with complete subjugation of a drastically reduced, subservient, transhuman workforce.
The world they plan is in most cases not seen by them as some dark, satanic empire. In their minds it will be a literal paradise on earth. For them of course. Not their subservient underlings. Massive virgin forests and game reserves for their hunting pleasure. Clear oceans for their fishing pleasure. Seems altruistic? That’s the game. One man’s paradise can be another man’s hell.
Especially when you’re dealing with psychopaths and invading entities with ulterior motives.
The UN’s Agenda 21 gives most of this ongoing plan away, as they work to take away private property and drive the world’s people off the land and into efficient, highly controlled “population centers”. If you want to see how they’re going about implementing Agenda 21 search your local area. It’s no doubt happening now in your community and you know nothing about it, unless you’re in the loop or a real alert activist.
And this beautiful newly restored earth they plan to rehabilitate, using stored seeds from the Norway Vault and other locations? Why it’s for them. And the surviving eugenically inferior Gammas will be evolved into a nice, tidy fully obedient roboslave. Any movies come to mind? Books? Is that an accident? Do a search on dystopian books and movies to get an eye full of this predictive programming. All part of the master plan.
This superior race and “gifted” mental manpower after all deserves to be treated as such. Just look at royalty through the ages, or oligarchical power families like the Rothschilds and their closely held minions. They have convinced humanity that it’s fine, in fact important for our culture, that so few should live in such obscene, hoarded wealth while the serfs of the world die of starvation.
That humanity hasn’t risen up to overthrow these wicked rulers once and for all is beyond me. But that’s why their system is set to entrance and entrain us from birth in the ways of their imposed matrix, so we have as hard a time as possible waking up out of their spellbinding ensnarement.
Hijacking Context – A Whole New World for Whom?
We’re about to see this New World Order meme hit total acceptance and popularity. They’re very good at this sort of thing. Much of the New Age movement is playing into this and a lot of these arising manipulated movements in the alternative community. A predominant sector is the mainstream science community, which you can witness in what their science talking heads promote as steps toward a “bold new world” with such unnatural insanities as transhumanism, genetic modification, geoengineering and micro and nanotech implants.
That is not a good future for humanity. That is a good future for control by the Overlords, at our expense. Yet amazingly great sectors of humanity buy into it. Why? They’ve learned to buy what they’re being sold, period. It’s all about the conditioned sales job, and they’ve perfected the technique…at least to the unwary. Hence the dichotomy between the awake and asleep.
Who doesn’t want a new world compared to the mess this has become? Problem is what a new world means to them versus the one it means to a consciously aware human being. Just think of all the dreamy songs about a new world coming, or that we’re making. Of course that has appeal. But like everything else, these deceiving manipulators have something completely different in mind than you and me, and something most would never even dare to conceive to be true.
Elites Celebrate Their Plan In Plain Site – And We Fall for it!
The following production as you’ll see is quite elaborate, extremely well prepared and amazingly delivered by an incredible talent. See for yourself:
First of all, I don’t like kids being deliberately imbued with adult characteristics for promotional purposes. It’s just wrong. Children are being pressured into very strange social and cultural straightjackets more and more and it’s a psychological and spiritual crime. Let kids be kids and develop naturally.
If you were touched by that song and think ‘what a wonderful thing’ I can understand. At face value there are a lot of sweet sentiments and it’s a rich tune with an apparently inspiring message. Applied the right way.
I, however, only saw that backwards. As I said, it’s a sweet sentiment, but it’s the Illuminists’ message I’m afraid. They’re talking about the day after, after we’re gone to the dumpsters and they have full sway…the fulfillment of their New World Order just down the road, so they think. No way those elites attending there see this current world in that context. They see an eviscerated world that has been carefully replanted. See the Georgia Guidestones for proof.
Mannequin Manipulation
She’s way too choreographed and coached, and as I said it’s clearly not a child’s sentiment. The setting and promotion is elitist, with a hot shot big time insider music mogul, stuffy theatre with penguin elites and all, and if you noticed as the end it had illuminist torches across the ceiling. That’s symbolic of Prometheus bringing “illuminating” fire to man against the orders of the mean other god yada yada. A whole subject unto itself. Another false opposition for the sake of appeal. (Man the creepy critters behind all this are wickedly smart bastards.)
The very clever deceptive message is that the elites want peace and a new world for everyone. Oh, sorry, forgot to mention, we’re not included. That new world is for them and it’s one nasty, twisted idea of heaven on earth with those they murdered under their feet.
And the gooey message appeal? We get literally forced into those feelings because there’s so much truth to it and we instantly jump into OUR interpretation without the least big of understanding of WHO is promoting this message and WHY!
You do have to wonder if this poor little girl isn’t a product of the massive mind control program. She’s almost robotic in her perfect gestures and delivery. Scarey.
Conclusion
The elites have always been the art, music and knowledge guardians, and the mainstream author, researcher and education “sponsors”. Not by coincidence. Control and programming information is the name of the game. And how they see their message of “hope” and what they aspire to is crucial to understanding what we’re witnessing around us, via logos, media programming, scientific advances etc. etc.
We’re witnessing their plan unfolding…one of total control of our people and environment, with an eye to even move out this control grid to other planets. We’ll be seeing the space programming coming on strong now with more fake asteroid attacks and perhaps alien “disclosure” as the Vatican is currently engaged in. All in the plan, folks. We’re militarizing everything we can get our hands on at our expense. Ever wonder where the disappeared trillions went to?
It’s time to end all of this insanity and throw some cold water on our faces and wake up while there’s still time.
These so called “elites” who’ve wangled their way into places of power and control for centuries are an aberration. They’re a type of fungus or parasite that has spread throughout the body politic. As the host weakens the infection spreads more quickly, like what they’re doing with chemtrails and tainted water and food. Eventually the very thing they had hoped to conquer and own is dead if it succeeds, so not such a smart game plan after all.
Healing for all of us is in becoming conscious, awake and aware of what they’re up to and the glorious realities of the powers at our disposal. Indigenous non compliance and diversified pro-active responses will then naturally proliferate, as they are now. The human body can heal and recover from any infection with the right nutrition, stopping the poisonous influx of wrong attachments, information and vibrations, and detoxing from any currently held “beliefs” and attitudes.
It is that easy.
But knowing our enemy is a big help. And essential to understand.
Stay clean. See past the illusion.
We’re approaching critical mass and it’s all about conscious awareness, detaching from the matrix, and understanding and Trusting the intuitive.
Much love, Zen
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. - Lao Tzu
We may think of Edwardian women as being demure and withdrawn, but these astonishing mugshots show that this was far from being the case.
They depict 12 women who were arrested in 1903 and 1904 and subsequently brought before North Shields Police Court.
The vintage images are an important reminder that nostalgia about the past is not always accurate – and that previous ages were just as violent and unsettled as our own.
Mugshots: Mabel Smith, who was arrested for larceny in September 1903, in a picture released by Tyne & Wear Archives
Haunting: Susan Joice, who was arrested for larceny in August 1903, glowers at the police camera
Respectable: Susannah Adamson is surprisingly well-dressed for an alleged thief in her mugshot
All the female criminals were living in the North-East of England more than 100 years ago when they were picked up by police for attempting to steal other people’s property.
The 12 were all accused of either theft or larceny, a closely related crime which was abolished in England in 1969.
Most of the women appear surprisingly well-dressed, kitted out in formal-looking dresses as well as hats.
Young: Charlotte Adamson looks no older than 19 in her mugshot after being arrested for larceny
Contrast: Mary Scott (aka Wilson) was a middle-aged woman when she was arrested in December 1903
Hats: Annie Anderson shows how women’s fashions have changed in the 110 years since her arrest
Susannah Adamson, who was arrested for larceny in February 1904, seems particularly respectable in her elaborate outfit and feathered hat.
But other, like Catherine O’Brien, are covered in rough shaws which would have denoted poverty.
The women cover a wide range of ages, from those who are practically girls to criminals well into middle age.
Charlotte Branney and Mary A. Butts looked like teenagers when they were arrested for larceny, but Mary Scott (aka Wilson) appears to be at least 50 years old.
Upset: Sarah Patterson was accused of being a thief by police in North Shields in 1904
Poverty: Catherine O’Brien’s rough shawl suggests that she would have been comparably poor
Change: Alice Caush was another resident of North Shields, a traditional fishing town which was transformed by the Industrial Revolution into a centre of shipbuilding
The evocative mugshots come from the Tyne & Wear Archives, which has posted them online as part of its ongoing mission to share images of historic interest.
They were found in an album of photographs from North Shields Police Court, cataloguing those who had committed crime in the area.
The images ‘have really struck a chord with people’, according to a spokesman for the archives, who said that the haunting mugshots had captivated members of the public.
Innocent: But mugshots of women like Mary A. Butts are a reminder that Edwardian stereotypes are not always accurate
Evocative: The haunting collection has apparently struck a chord with the public
Dark: The images were released by the Tyne & Wear Archives because of their unique nature
At the turn of the century North Shields, which is eight miles east of Newcastle, was an important fishing town and shipyard.
It was also crucial to the industry of the North-East, leading to widespread urban poverty which might explain some of the crime documented in these photographs.
Many Americans are beginning to see the benefits of policy reform
It’s no secret that public opinion on marijuana has shifted dramatically in recent years. Is this the beginning of the end for the anti-marijuana generation? Some would say so.
Advocacy of marijuana legalization is fast becoming a popular standpoint among Americans. According to Gallup polls, public support for marijuana legalization reached a record-high of 50% in 2011 and remained relatively consistent for the most part of 2012. Last November’s poll showed only a slight dip in support, from 50% to 48%.
You might be wondering just who these supporters are. Well, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to hear that Gallup found support for marijuana to be inversely proportional to age, with as much as 62% of 18-to-29 year-olds in favor of legalization, down to just 31% of those 65 and older. Indeed, the pro-marijuana movement appears to be largely driven by young voters.
Before you discredit this group for their youth, consider this. Similar surveys by CNN and Pew show that support for marijuana legalization comes from a wealthier and more highly educated demographic. Interestingly, CNN also found that whites were more likely to support legalization than non-whites, despite the fact that blacks are more likely to be arrested for drug possession.
Such high levels of support for marijuana are in stark contrast with the traditional norm. When Gallup first polled the public about marijuana legalization in 1969, only 12% of Americans were in favor. And as recently as 2005, only about a third of Americans indicated support for legalization.
What happened between 2005 and 2011 is anyone’s guess, although some explanations appear more convincing than others.
A major factor in shifting public opinion could very well be the growing number of states that have legalized medical marijuana. Between 2005 and 2011, legalization measures were passed in seven separate states as well as the District of Columbia. This brought the total number of Americans living in legal medical marijuana states to over 90 million, representing roughly 1 in 4 of the overall population.
By the time Delaware’s marijuana legislation was signed into law in mid-2011, over 1 million Americans had authorization to access medical marijuana.
Disregarding medical marijuana for a moment, national surveys show that illicit marijuana has also increased, albeit to a much smaller degree. From 2005 to 2011, the proportion of high school students that reported using marijuana at some point in their lives crept upward from 38% to 40% – perhaps explaining why support for legalization is highest among the younger demographic. Prevalence of past month marijuana use within the overall population also rose during this time.
Still, this only scratches the surface of what really undermines the anti-marijuana mindset. What many seem to overlook is the scientific momentum that marijuana has gained in recent years.
The increase in statewide legalization measures comes as a direct result of scientific evidence which finds medical marijuana to be an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions. Furthermore, long-standing public fear of marijuana’s damaging effects on the brain and lungs have been debunked time and time again by overwhelming proof of the contrary.
As anti-marijuana campaigns dwindle in their efforts, many Americans are beginning to see the benefits of policy reform.
Legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington following November’s election has strongly contributed to public awareness of the discrepancy between public opinion and federal policy. As it stands today, legalization measures in Colorado and Washington seem like only a minor indication of things to come as a nationwide pro-marijuana generation takes form.

Former British prime minister Tony Blair (AFP Photo / Carl Court)
Attending the elusive Bohemian Grove retreat should be a priority for former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, News Corp executive Andrew Knight allegedly writes in an email to US Gen. Colin Powell obtained by RT.
The mysterious computer hacker known only as Guccifer has once again supplied RT with a trove of presumed personal emails in which the private correspondence between some of the world’s most influential men is put under the looking glass. The hacker’s target is once again former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and this time the discourse dives into a topic rarely discussed: the annual summer retreat at California’s Bohemian Grove.
Guccifer has previously taken credit for hacking Gen. Powell’s Facebook, compromising what are believed to be sensitive emails sent to former-President George W. Bush and even uncovering emails about last year’s Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack allegedly sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the latest leaked emails sent to RT, Guccifer showcases a number of emails reportedly sent to Colin Powell’s AOL account during the last few years.
The few dozen emails forwarded to RT offer what appears on the surface to be little insight into Gen. Powell’s personal habits, but one email in particular referenced enough other well-known individuals that it couldn’t help but raise a red flag: in correspondence dated March 21, 2012, Knight asks Gen. Powell to have a few words with Mr. Blair about preparing for that year’s Bohemian Grove retreat, an annual gathering of the rich and powerful that has stayed so elusive for decades that countless documentaries and books have been written about the event — and journalists like Vanity Fair’s Alex Shoumatoff has even been arrested trying to infiltrate it.
According to the Sonoma County Free Press, the membership list of Bohemian Grove has included every Republican US president since 1923, as well as titans of the defense sector, banking tycoons and the CEOs of some of the largest corporations in the world. Spy Magazine linked the guest list with millionaires and billionaires from the likes of IBM and Bank of America, as well as leading politicians from Washington and abroad. And when Spy’s Philip Weiss snuck into the grove in 1989, he confirmed that attendees congregate at a shrine to an owl described as “40-foot-tall, moss-covered statue of stone and steel.”
Weiss adds that during the event’s middle weekend — the busiest session of the two-week gathering — he saw roughly 2,200 guests, all male, on the camp ground. Just last year, though, Powell was asked to ensure that Blair made it for that portion of the festivities.
“Might you be able gently/firmly to point out to Tony that you rank the Bohemia Middle Weekend in your diary before allowing any other duties to get in the way?!” writes Knight, a journalist who currently serves as a director of billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s multinational News Corp, in the latest leaked emails. “Lack of exposure suggests that Tony has not yet got his priorities straight.”
Also included in the email is a PDF attachment — unavailable to RT’s reporters — said to include a response of sorts from Mr. Blair to George Shultz, a longtime member of Washington’s elite that worked as secretary of state underneath US Pres. Ronald Reagan in the late 1980s while Gen. Powell held the position of national security advisor. In his own right, Shultz has been associated with the secretive Bohemian Grove group for decades.
In the leaked emails, Knight says to Powell, “I’m going to suggest the same to Henry,” likely implying that the journalist was determined to make sure Mr. Kissinger — who served as secretary of state under Pres. Nixon and Ford, and before that was national security advisor himself — was preparing to attend last year’s event.

Several sources online tie Powell, Shultz, Knight and Kissinger to Bohemian Grove, but Blair has only been long rumored to be an attendee at the annual soiree. In 2006, Blair did visit San Francisco, California — less than 100 miles away from the Grove’s gated campsite—where he dined with Shultz.
“There was speculation that Mr. Blair might even have been a guest at the male-only event, following in the footsteps of John Major and Prince Philip,” the UK’s Daily Mail reported at the time. “As it is, the Shultz party was said to have been littered with guests who had left the Grove in order to meet Mr. Blair.”
The San Francisco Chronicle also reported that summer that Prime Minister Blair was rumored to be attending the festivities, which have long become a topic of debate and discussion of conspiracy theorists, largely due to the sheer elusiveness of an event that attracts high-profile men of power with a strict embargo on admitting the media.
“Less than a mile from us there are millionaires, billionaires, people who control the world, control the central banks, build nuclear weapons. This is their summer playground,” Sonoma State University sociology professor Peter Phillips told RT in 2011. “We know for sure that Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan sat down and had conversation about who was going to run for president when and they made a deal.” The Washington Post has even reported that a planning meeting for the Manhattan Project occurred at the grove in 1942, leading eventually to the creation of the atom bomb.
Since the list of attendees is kept under lock and key, only a confirmation from Powell or Blair themselves could verify whether or not the four star general did in fact convince the prime minister to attend last year’s event.
In his email to RT, Guccifer signed with the signature, “illuminati free world.”
Today I was thinking about what it would be like if drones were ever designed to be able to kill “terrorists” autonomously. Meaning, if an artificial intelligence were developed that was sophisticated enough to be given authority to shoot to kill independent of confirmation by a human operator. The thought gave me chills. Then I relaxed because I realized that it would never happen. If Predator drones were ever programmed to autonomously hunt and kill terrorists, they would fire so many hellfire missiles all over DC that by sunrise the place would look like it had been cleared to have its oil extracted from its tar sands.
Then I slap myself in the face for doubting the corporate hegemony in American politics even for a moment. It’s as clear as your own hands to anyone who can peel their eyes away from “Dancing with the Stars”, “Homeland”, “The Bachelor” or whatever other desperate, corporate-concocted, spectacle of distraction for long enough to have a complete thought.
I’m not fond of quoting the founding fathers because I think people who do that too much idealize them and imagine that they were more than what they were. Even calling them “the founding fathers” makes them seem more special than they were, but if I just say “those dead guys,” no one will know who I’m talking about.
Just like the rest of us, they were flawed people with a bunch of ideas. Some of those ideas were good, others were not quite as good, and they should be assessed individually according to their merit. The only difference between those dead guys and you is that they acted on their ideas intelligently at a critical juncture in history. Just because they said something doesn’t make it unquestionable dogma.
All the same, I can just feel some of you flinching when I go balls-out against corporate America like this. This might be because you still have your identity invested in the status quo. You think that to be who you are, you need this system. Fostering this kind of dependency is the core of any abusive relationship, whether it be interpersonal or national in scale. One of the purposes of these writings, if you feel the doubt I’m describing, is to show you that you don’t need this system to be who you are. In fact you can be an even better, stronger, more honest and loving person without it. For this reason I want to leave you today with a quote by Thomas Jefferson. When he was president in the beginning of the 19th century, he saw corporate influence beginning to spawn in America, and he said “I hope we shall crush… in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”
This statement shows that there is nothing radical about the position I am outlining for you. In fact the position is nearly two hundred years old. Drop that on somebody the next time they serve you the whopper that we need to submit to the rule of the “job-creators” in order to support the “economy.”
So here we are. Are you ready to find our who’s on this years Global Most Wanted list complied by yours truly? Okay, great! Let’s do this. First, I encourage you read my list in full then place your comments. Do you agree? disagree? Do you have any better nominees? Here’s my list…
1) DICK CHENEY, the Global Sith
This guy in the poster child for what a War criminal looks like today. That smirk of contempt is the classic and quintessential screw you to your face while I steal your future. It’s that unreal commitment to being the world # 1 psychotic predator that makes this Global Sith our # 1 war criminal.
A former US Secretary of Defense, former US Vice-President and signator of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), Cheney is the accused mastermind of the 911 “terrorist” attack against the people of the world. Cheney has been called “The Vice President For Torture” by the Washington Post. A staunch supporter of the Middle Eastern Wars for resources, Cheney, like Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld bears particular responsibility for the conduct of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Elder Statesman and global corporate rapist, this maniac epitomizes the phrase Psychotic Predator. Oh and it is alleged that he’s had over 25 heart transplant surgeries over the last thousand years of his life allowing him to complete many other evil deeds allegedly including injecting potatoes with an unknown agent causing the famine in Ireland (circa 1845) and launching the Bubonic plague on Europe destroying the lives of millions upon millions just so he could control the spice trade. This guy knows what he’s doing! Send this menace to Gitmo!
2) GEORGE W. BUSH, Idiot Drunk and Coked Up Innocent bystander
It’s actually hard to put this clown on our list. He was by far the most embarrassing U.S. President in history. He’s such a moron that you kind of feel sorry for him. I mean this clown on 9/12 had the whole world on his side and, within 1 year, blew that goodwill to hell completely. It’s precisely that kind of talent that puts Mr. Mission Accomplished on this list at #2.
I mean he was gracious enough to accept the job offered to him by his Dad and the GOP cabal that you gotta admire him for doing his duty as a good son. But alas, he gladly implemented their Dr. Evil strategems without a blink of a eye and so, well, you guessed it…Dress up in your favorite Orange jumpsuit Georgy cause you’re…. the next contestant on Guess who belongs in Gitmo?
Bibi, we love you! You’ve been around so long we’ve lost track of how many crimes against humanity you’ve committed. I mean you’ve screwed the American public for so long headed by your spy and bidding ring in America commonly known as AIPAC that we no longer know what is up and what is down. And to make it even worse, you do it soooooo effortlessly. It’s impressive.
I mean you take white phosphorus dumps on the indigenous populations and then call them terrorists while the American public cheers you on,; even more than their U.S. President. Wow! That’s amazing!
Talent? No way! It’s much more! I think the word is Mastery.
You are that Master Po guy in the 70′s Kung Fu TV show teaching poor little Grasshopper Obama how to control the universe. And that puts you on this esteemed list.
Somebody give this man a standing ovation! Wait! What’s that? The U.S. Congress already did that? Dam he’s good! Ga Ga Ga Gitmo time!
4) JAMIE DIMON, J.P. Morgan Chase Chairman and Known Global Tapeworm
Mr. Dimon, how sweet it is! The Tapeworm! We love this guy! In fact, most of the global peoples don’t even know your name which makes you so so really evil because you do it in plain site. You screw the masses each day leading an evil empire that controls the money game enslaving the populace while you create wealth for you and your buds in a game where you control the rules.
Brilliant! You win no matter what happens. Tell me the truth …. you have a real mini-me right? A Mister Bigglesworth? Come on, fess up! Hey If I throw a penny into a cell in Gitmo will you run and get it? I think so!
5) RUPERT MURDOCH, Global Media Master Brainwasher
Ahhhh, the Australian globalist posing an American gentleman. Hey wasn’t this guy in that James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies? I am sure that was him looking to control the global media. Except this maniac is for real.
Does anyone have a straight jacket the size of his megalomania. How old is this clown act anyway? Is he really a human being or just a hologram?
6) HANK PAULSON, Global Bankster and Financial Rapist
When Paulson left the top job at Goldman Sachs to become Treasury Secretary in 2006, his big concern was whether he’d have an impact.
He ended up almost single-handedly running the country’s economic policy for the last year of the Bush Administration insuring that his buddies got bailed out after screwing everybody. Wow, what a performance! Can you say Agent Double-Oh-Bilderberger?
Former US Deputy Secretary of Defense and architect of the Middle Eastern War Without End. Casualties in two pre-emptive wars now exceed 1,000,000 deaths, not including the 4,000+ US deaths and over 40,000 wounded. And this clown act won a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his evil work and a promotion to the head of the World Bank. You can’t write comedy better than this.
I would send him to Gitmo but the laughs seem to be worth having him around on TV trying to justify his actions. It’s better than watching the comedy channel. Too funny!
8) TONY BLAIR, Wingman to G.W. Bush in the Fabricated Wars
Blair, with his buddy Georgy, better known as G.W., launched a war of aggression that broke international law. In attacking Iraq, Blair committed a crime against peace, defined by the Nuremberg Principles as the “planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression”.
The Iraq war was waged for a reason other than self-defence, which made it a crime of aggression and violated Articles 33 and 51 of the UN Charter. Besides, he smiles while he lies. That’s worth a ticket to Gitmo. Read more on Why Blair is a war criminal >>
US Secretary of Defense during the Middle Eastern War Without end. A signator of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) document that calls for pre-emptive hostile acts of US imperialism conducted by overwhelming military means (War) against weaker nations possessing scarce resources.
Aside from the estimated 1,000,000 Iraqi deaths, the estimated 40,000 US casualties (dead and injured), and the untold tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands unaccounted for who suffer from the effects of depleted uranium now and in the years to come, well Rummy, you win! You get on this list.
I mean Rumsfeld remains convinced the “war on terror” was just. Does Gitmo have a super insane wing? If so, he belongs there.
This former US Secretary of State was Dick Cheney before there was a Dick Cheney. He invented the modern day Dick Cheney. In fact, Dick Cheney can only hope to be this good.
Kissinger had a hand in killings around the world for over 40 years. Some argue he’s still involved.
From Chile to Vietnam to Israel, lovable Henry was the man. Heck, he was so good that they even gave him a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Wow, good job Europa!
I loved this man so much that, with my old punk rock band Twisted Nixon, I penned a song in his honor called Kissinger is Dead.
In closing, personally, I don’t recognize the right of these maniacs to be free in our global society. In fact, if I ever see one of these maniacs anywhere near my presence, I will immediately make a global citizens arrest on behalf of humanity and take them to the nearest local Police station calling upon my fellow citizens to guard the building so that so there can be no escape or rescue by their assigns who aim to free their buddy from the grips of justice. I urge you, my fellow humans, to do the same.

This guy in the poster child for what a War criminal looks like today. That smirk of contempt is the classic and quintessential screw you to your face while I steal your future. It’s that unreal commitment to being the world # 1 psychotic predator that makes this Global Sith our # 1 war criminal.
It’s actually hard to put this clown on our list. He was by far the
