SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT..... ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO READ DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

We have the left media, we have the right media but there are other points of views still.. 


Back in March 2010 I published an article titled Will Globalists Trigger Yet Another World War? under the pen name Giordano Bruno describing what I felt would be the most effective triggers for a new global conflict. In that article I pointed to Syria as the primary powder keg, followed in close second by Iran and Yemen. This was written well before the Syrian civil war was engineered by establishment interests. I focused on potential false flags that could be used as a rationale by the U.S. or Israel to invade the region, thereby giving Russia and China reason to retaliate, for the most part economically. Ultimately, this scenario would play out perfectly as a cover for the deliberate collapse of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency.

In August 2012 I reiterated my concerns in an article titled Syria And Iran Dominoes Lead To World War, right after the Syrian civil war began to gain momentum.

Needless to say, I have not changed my general thesis since those days; however, I would like to touch upon certain factors now that the dangers I examined in those articles are mostly coming to pass in 2018.

First, no hard evidence has been produced by western intelligence agencies to support the claim that Bashar Al Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. None. Therefore, there is no basis for the latest missile attacks on the regime. This same exact false flag tactic was attempted under the Obama administration to draw the U.S. people into open war in Syria, and it failed. Now the chemical weapon card is being played again, this time with a "conservative" president. The establishment must be hoping that Republicans will find excitement in becoming the war party so long after the Bush years.
The insinuation of neocon warmonger John Bolton into the Trump cabinet suggests that the neocons are very much back in charge and that ongoing war is guaranteed. At this late stage in the game, it is unlikely that our government or any other government involved in the Syrian theater even cares to explain its actions. As I have said for years now, when establishment criminals no longer care if their criminality is transparent to the public then it is time for a large scale societal collapse.

Second, each successive Trump involved theater, from trade tariffs to international war tensions, has become progressively more dramatic, and I believe this is meant to hide the effects of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet cuts and interest rate hikes. The real and secret war being waged is not against Syria or Syria's allies, but against the American people and our economic stability.
In January of this year, I warned that central banks were preparing to enter into an accelerating process to deflate the massive market bubbles they created to prop up our fiscal system over the past several years. That process is indeed continuing, and each successive rate hike and balance sheet cut will act in a cumulative fashion. Meaning, central bankers are treating the global economy like a great Jenga tower, pulling blocks here and there until the system topples completely from lack of stability.

This latest event in Syria is yet another grand gesture of illusion, designed to provide cover for the banking cabal as they pull the plug on financial life support. It also is timed rather conveniently for the Fed's next policy meeting May 1-2. The meeting is likely to include yet another interest rate hike as well as a large reduction in the balance sheet, resulting in another sizable plunge in stocks. All negative moves in our manipulated markets will be blamed on Trump administration activities as well as blamed on trade retaliations by eastern nations. The mainstream media will no longer discuss the reality that central banks are the true cause behind a systemic breakdown.

Third, the current pattern of events suggest there will be a joint economic retaliation by Russia and China. China has publicly admonished the U.S. government for its strike in Syria, and this is merely added to the increasing tensions over trade tariffs by Trump. Again, this is a perfect opportunity to undermine the U.S. economy, primarily through China and Russia initiating a dump of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
The dump of the dollar has already begun in a semi-covert fashion. China's currency has been inducted into the IMF's Special Drawing Rights basket system, and China has also launched the first international oil exchange that does not use the dollar as the petro-currency. What many people are ignoring is the fact that the shift away from the dollar is being championed and helped along by the globalists at the IMF itself.
An impending change in the global monetary framework is often referred to as the great "global economic reset" by IMF members like Christine Lagarde. This change will be facilitated by central banks as they sabotage their respective national economies through the creation and destruction of market bubbles. Ultimately, it will not be the Chinese Yuan that replaces the dollar as world reserve currency, but the SDR basket system, controlled by the IMF.

The question of how this can be done by the globalists without an unprecedented liquidity crisis often comes up. I'm not so sure they care if there is a liquidity crisis, at least for a short time. Yes, the U.S. dollar has some of the most liquid markets in the world, but it is wrong to assume the globalists will not bring those markets down in order to force the public into accepting one world centralization of monetary administration (the biggest and most important step in establishing global government).

People who argue that the dollar will never be demolished by the globalists cling to the false notion that there is no liquidity replacement for the dollar. In reality, there is a replacement — cyrptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
The IMF has recently applauded blockchain systems and crypto as a potential rejuvenating force in international money transactions. Far from being opposed to cryptocurrencies, global elitists have been piling into them with praise and with investment dollars.

The global economic reset is not about East versus West. It is not about trade wars and nationalism. No, the global reset is about banker centralization of assets and consolidation of power. Beyond that, it is about the public accepting the reset as necessary and "good" for society. Globalists want us to beg for their rule. When one understands this simple truth, all the current events and disasters of our era begin to make sense. Crisis is the quickest path to complacency and tyranny.

A secret war is being fought between liberty champions and lying globalists. For now it remains a cold war, a battle of principles and facts versus disinformation and fear. One day this war will become a hot one. Until that time, distractions will assail the public like a hailstorm. My hope is that we can educate enough people to see through the fog of this hidden war; enough people to come out the other side and change things for the better.

To truth and knowledge,

LAUGHING WITH DONNA

A little boy had just got home from Sunday School and mom was cooking lunch. "Mommy, is it true that before you're born you're just dust and after you die you go back to being dust?" "That's right son, why?" "Well that's just what they said at church today."

"Run up stairs and wash your hands son, lunch will be ready in a few minutes." About 10 minutes went by and she called out for him to come down. "I'll be there in a minute." As they were about to sit down at the table, the little boy asked again about being dust before being born and after you die. Once again mother said, "Yes, son".



The little boy looked at her and said, then you better get up to my room pretty quick, because something under my bed is either coming or going!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT..... ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO READ DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

We have the left media, we have the right media but there are other points of views still... 


Modern warfare arrives with two dimensions. One is still the old war machine and the prizes and prestige still go to the one that has the biggest and most guns.
Just days ago we saw this exemplified. You dare threaten to slow the old war machine and pull out of Syria? They'll present to the world a chemical attack. You want peace in the Middle East? They'll create ISIS. And so forth ad infinitum throughout the world.

The old war machine is both visible — with tanks and troops — and deception and feint. You want to get to Moscow? The road goes through Syria, and Iran.

The second dimension of modern warfare is seductively esoteric. I will describe it. It goes directly to the psychic:


  • It is almost totally invisible to the natural eye.
  • It is almost totally invisible to the human spirit.
  • It cannot be measured and calculated by the human I.Q. because it operates above the threshold of intelligence.
  • At the same time, it suppresses the human intellect.
  • It is not a phenomenon that the natural mind can confront and deal with.
  • But it can be discerned by those prolific readers with background information.
When one comes to understand this cause of human motivation, all frivolity is stripped away and the Emperor has no clothes.

Within the world ruling elite is a death cult. These are simply humanoids who do not reproduce themselves and they worship death. They love warfare and killing. They want to spill blood. "Some men love death more than they love life because their deeds are evil." John 3:19.

They have survived through the ages and they are modern-day throw backs of Old Testament animal sacrifices. They love death more than they love life.

But the second type of warfare can only be described as above. Let's expand: The modern-day political and economic arena is a stage and a front for socialism. It is called many things such as democracy, representative government, and a few diehards occasionally refer to modern America as a Republic.

These names (democracy, etc.,) are foolish and child-like frivolity. They are fog, not substance. Their purpose is to cloud the mind and reality. The wide use of the word "democracy" is proof that people can no longer tell freedom from a gallon of milk. The word "democracy" neutralizes and disarms the mind to the reality of authoritarianism and the danger to personal freedom.

There are many serious and honest economists and analysts who are very astute at reading the circus of American politics and economics. Many of them, like Marc Faber, see very clearly that the so-called financial and economic "solutions" to the current credit crisis (really a dollar crisis) are made to fail. In fact the bailout "solutions" indeed moved the system further toward collapse by releasing massive quantities of fiat money on the world, and driving it deeper into debt.

A thought here on psychological warfare: Since the American system poses as an "open society" with a "free press," there is the pretension to allow open debate, but only on spurious issues. The effect is that as long as the issues are not real or are spurious they are welcomed and promoted as open debate and commentary. The people do not have a clue that all public commentary is a sham.

The strategy for authoritarianism throughout the ages is to divide and conquer. All "public forums" are presented as opposing sides, or opposing politics or opposing theology or opposing morality.

What few of us ever discern is that the good guys and the bad guys are the same guys. The good politicians and the bad politicians are the same politicians. The good religion and the bad religion is the same religion.

What then is the issue that even very savvy commentators fail to understand or even mention?

The problem is that all of them are trying to see and understand the American system as free enterprise. In fact it has been socialist for a hundred years, operating under the umbrella of an increasingly totalitarian and coercive system that brooks no dissent from its doctrine of promoting ever more degenerate behavior.

This is a most sensational testimony of the power of naming government systems something that they are not and imposing it on the public mind and psyche by a long process of "public education" and highly sophisticated and organized propaganda on a worldwide basis.

There has never been an equal and even at this moment it is more powerful than ever, deceiving more people than ever, and at a younger age than ever before. Pushing students out into the streets to beg the government to take away their God-given liberties? This can only be accomplished by mass deception and propagandizing. Few are those who will speak to their children and allow them to escape this system.

Socialism in America today is seen as desirable, especially by these younger people, because people blame "capitalism" for their problems, never realizing that the former capitalist free market economy of the United States has been operating under national socialism for a century now. Oh no, it's never described as such. There are only code words used to deceive. Things may not be nice just because they have a pretty face.

Hitler indeed made an attempt to call Nazi Germany "the great democracy." Through his effort to put a pretty face on an ugly national socialist system, he certainly must have understood the propaganda significance of the sensational power of people persuasion with names, fronts, and high-sounding human freedom terms.

For the record, I hope you historians will not see national socialism as any different from American democracy today or even at the time of World War II when the U.S. and Germany were locked into mortal combat.

In fact, except for their different names bestowed upon each by their hidden elite masters, they are more identical than identical twins. The bad guys versus the good guys propaganda was meaningless and ridiculous but served well to drive millions to their deaths on all sides as well as motivated parents to sacrifice their young in total ignorance of reality.

All is a disgrace before God, as my mother used to say that the human race will allow itself generation after generation to be twisted and perverted like animals to the slaughter and precious few ever question "why?" about anything.

In fact the more learned and "educated," the less capacity to think outside the prescribed system.

Few ever conclude that the system that they grew up in is neither legal nor illegal as taught by the system itself. It is manipulated fraud in which the owners of the system do not live within their own law but above the law. The law is for you not them!

The War on Drugs, the War on Crime and the War on Terror... people think these are the government fighting the good fight against bad things. In reality, each of these is a furthering of the government's war on us.

Will anyone deliver us now from this nightmare? Will we deliver ourselves?

It will be interesting to see. The outcome might not become apparent for another 50 years, but I think it will be sooner rather than later. Yet what seems like a hopeless situation in America does not have to be to those people who are willing to search, read, and stay current on what the political powers are doing. However, most people will never have a clue.

BARRY'S CORNER - LIVING IN ELKMONT

Another tv personality from my childhood gone; "Joanie" from Happy days passed away. Are you as shocked as I am when you see pictures of the people you grew up watching? 

For some reason these people are frozen in time for me. I see them young and vibrant and as beautiful as they were when I sat down on my beanbag and turned the old 13" black and white on. A shock when I see them and a reality check too. A lot like when I am out with my teams, cutting up and laughing. I get in the car and pull the visor down and just about jump out of the car wondering who that old guy is. 

Pretty good sign you are getting old when you smile and have to reach up and push your eye lids up so you can see! True! Aging and life throw some curves to us at times. I think it's a lot more of how we react to it than how it affects us. Just a number that's what I hear. I believe it is true. 

Try to stay healthy and live life to the fullest. "Happy Days" brought a lot of joy to my young life. I choose to embrace age with joy. As Joanie would say "Sit on it". Have a good one !

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT..... ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO READ DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

We have the left media, we have the right media but there are other points of views still... 


I have often spoken to you about being distracted by "bread and circus": The political parasites' slick oratory and promises of government largesse; corporatists in their fancy suits telling you that you can "get rich" their way; Hollywood antics and amoral lifestyles; mass-watched sporting events. These all serve to blind us to creeping collectivism.

Nearly a year ago now, the real circus — The Greatest Show on Earth — went dark. The last performance of the venerable Ringling Bros.& Barnum & Bailey circus rang down the curtain on the age of the big top spectacle on May 21, 2017.

I have been thinking about this often lately. In my mind, it symbolized the end of a way of life before the digital age, when kids' imaginations were stimulated by the sight of the real. They had live lions and tigers and bears and the magnificent, ponderous elephant, instead of being mindlessly numbed by fake bread and circus through a screen.

The real circus aroused all the senses — the smell of the sawdust and the animals, the sights of the glittering costumes and funny-face clowns, the tastes of crunchy roasted peanuts and sweet cotton candy. It meant a certain excitement in the air in anticipation of an amazing escape from the humdrum routine of ordinary everyday life.

There are other circuses still around, but none capture the essence of the fantasy and enchantment like the old Ringling Bros. circus. It was of a time when kids often spent their free time outdoors playing games of their own invention instead of being herded off to adult-organized rituals like soccer games. It was of a time when families "went visiting" to chat face-to-face with friends instead sending faceless messages through a phone.

How many of us still "shoot the breeze" with neighbors over a backyard fence instead of exchanging Facebook messages? How many of us even know our neighbors?

We ate meals as a family, where fathers and mothers, sons and daughters looked at each other and shared experiences. The TV was the first interruption at the dinner table by the propagandists, and today if you visit any restaurant, which has replaced the family meal for many, you will see nothing but each person at the table staring in silence at a smartphone screen, each isolated in his or her own world apart from the family.

I am not against technology. I am against separating families from each other. The digital age revolutionized our lives in amazing ways and gave us individual powers and conveniences we never had before. But we have paid a sad price for those benefits — the loss personal contact and interaction and the rise of incivility afforded by the relative anonymity and separation of electronic communication.

People today have no hesitation to say things to others online that they would likely never say face-to-face — or would at least think twice before saying those things at risk of being ashamed before neighbors, and God.

Courtesy is an endangered trait in our culture. Respect for others — from the heart and not from the false dictates of liberal political correctness — lies inert on life support. Social discourse has abandoned the idea of free exchange of ideas and opinions, bulldozed by hardened my-way-or-the-highway dogmas.

Businesses that once strived to be good community citizens are now owned by faceless corporate giants that care only about bottom-line profits. Customers are just an inconvenient means to that end. Does your mail carrier know your name?  Does your grocer know what cuts of meat you like? You have a rare relationship if they do.

As I look back on the farewell of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey from the stage, I think it serves as a reminder to us all of what our society once was and still can be.

Spend time with your family. Set aside a time when TV, computers and cellphones get put away, and just talk with each other.

Treat your neighbors with the same respect you expect from them. You may be looked down on for believing in, or simply repeating, Jesus' admonition to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Despite this, go for walks in the neighborhood and say hello to people. Maybe stop and pass the time for awhile.

In all things, remember to not think conventional thoughts. They are not your own. Conventional thoughts and wisdom come from the news media, public schools, the medical establishment, organized church and the government. It's a lifetime programming process that builds parameters of thought from which few escape. And there are precious few who do escape their bread and circu
s.

GOT TO HAVE CHOCOLATE

For those of us Elkmont folk who LOVE chocolate, Hill Spirit found this today and wanted to share. Just think when someone says we eat a bit too much chocolate, we can say, "Chocolate Saves Brains". 

Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that enjoying just two chocolate bars per week can meaningfully reduce your risk of stroke.  Cocoa content varies widely in chocolate bars. Milk chocolate tends to have the lowest cocoa content, often less than 25%. Dark chocolate may contain 50% or more cocoa solids – this is the best chocolate from a health standpoint. One study found cocoa can be just as effective as aspirin (and without the side effects) in helping to prevent blood clotting. 

 
On your grocery store’s candy aisle, look for the good stuff such as Lindt’s or Gordiva's  70%, 85%, and 90% Cacao bars. Eat a few squares a day; after all it is health food.
