Is the War on Terror the Biggest Racket Yet?

terrorism

Pater Tenebrarum provides a brilliant essay on Lewrockwell.com today. Tennebrarum writes that the “War on Terror” is the greatest scam of all time.

Tenebrarum provides the above graph showing that the “War on Terror” actually appears to have created MORE rather than less terror. Just as the “War on Poverty” stopped the rapid decline in poverty. Just as the “Affordable Care Act” has made “care” much LESS affordable.

Still, it is hard to compete with Social Security, which has impoverished vast millions of Americans by disincentivizing them from saving and investing and has transferred vast fortunes from poor people to richer people. See here.

Global Warming Solutions Same As Global Cooling Cures — Wait . . . What?

climate

Investors Business Daily reports on the recent discovery that a 1977 book called for (1) higher taxes, (2) greater government control and regulation over the oil, coal and gas industries, (3) more socialism and central planning by elites in government offices, and (4) a government program of subsidizing and supporting “alternative” energy sources.

See here. But these “cures” were proposed to stop . . . global cooling. Our masters in government, and their “science” allies, were heavily promoting the threat of global cooling in the 1970s.

Identical cures for “global warming” and “global cooling”: more government!

Amherst College students want students who posted a free speech flyer to be punished

silen

America’s government-approved and supported colleges have become dens of extremist pro-government, socialist, and elitist ideology. Those who speak up for individual liberty or free markets often live in fear of intimidation or retaliation by faculty and pro-government students.

Now, a group of Amherst protesters want students who posted a flyer around campus celebrating free speech to be punished. See here.

Another researcher finds falsified government temperature data

By now the evidence that climate-change socialists within government “science” agencies are falsifying temperature data to bolster their manmade-global-warming-by-CO2 claims has become insurmountable.

Another researcher bothered to do some homework and scrutinize some of the NASA temperature adjustments. See here.

Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert, a German scientist, found that some time between 2010 and 2012, someone within NASA altered the data set to show a warming trend.

And although the government scientists claim that “adjustments” are necessary to “fix” problems with missing data or malfunctioning thermometers, Dr. Ewert found that the methods used by NASA

(1) Reduced the annual mean of earlier years,
(2) reduced the high values in the first warming phase,
(3) increased values during the second warming phase,
and
(4) suppressed the cooling phase which began in 1995.

These alterations can be readily viewed and analyzed by the public.cold5

Another CIA Head Calls for Snowden’s Execution

guantanamo

Were the recent terrorist attacks in Paris committed or secretly caused by western intelligence operatives in order to drum up support for the military-industrial complex?

There is certainly extensive evidence that the CIA and other western intelligence agencies have FUNDED “ISIS” and other supposedly “Islamist” terror groups.

In any case, the Paris attacks have empowered the CIA to demand ever-more surveillance powers–and the punishment of whistleblower Edward Snowden, who exposed the CIA’s and NSA’s unconstitutional and unlawful spying on the American people.

Now, another former CIA official of the highest level is calling for Snowden’s murder. See here.

Largest Health Insurer Has Lost Millions under Obamacare

illness1

According the USA TODAY (see here):

The nation’s largest health insurer warned Thursday that it may pull out of the Obamacare exchanges after 2016 – forcing more than a half million people to find other coverage – after low enrollment and high usage cost the company millions of dollars.

The possible move by UnitedHealth Group raises new questions about the viability of President Obama’s signature health law and follows the departure of more than half of the non-profit insurance cooperatives this year. If UnitedHealth drops out, consumers would lose one of the lowest-cost plans available in much of the country, and some wonder how smaller insurers could fill the void.

UnitedHealth warned investors that it would reap $425 million less in revenue during the fourth quarter than it had previously expected.

More Temp Data Tampering Behind claim that October 2015 was the “hottest October on Record”

cold2

In the past 3 days, virtually every major, government-approved newspaper has run a short story claiming that the recent October (2015) was the “hottest on record.”

The official government claim is that the “normal” worldwide temperature for October is 1.04 degrees Celsius and that the recent month showed the largest “anomoly,” or was the farthest away from this supposed average of any other October on record.

Steven Goddard has now analyzed a sampling of the data behind this bizarre claim and found more data tampering.

Goddard reports that “[t]his kind of mind-blowing malfeasance would get [the government scientists at NASA] fired and probably escorted out of the building by security at many engineering companies.”

The “hottest on record” claims stem–as most suspected–from “adjusted” surface data, which barely measures the major land regions of the globe.

But as Goddard notes, “Satellites cover almost the entire planet several times a day, and they showed that October had only the 25th highest monthly anomaly [even as satellites have only been in the sky for 25 to 30 years],”

Jury: Cops FRAMED Innocent Man for Murder

brutality2

We’re all aware of the MORE THAN 200 CASES in which DNA evidence has proven that the justice system wrongly convicted innocent people.

Most of these wrongful convictions are blamed on incompetence, bad police work, or general negligence.

Now in a lawsuit over his wrongful 1981 murder conviction, Donald Gates (who spent 27 years in prison) has proven to a federal jury that D.C. police violated his civil rights BY FRAMING HIM. See here.

USA TODAY Reports that Government spends hundreds of millions on propaganda

corruption

Trusters of expansive government routinely seek to gut the First Amendment and allow the government to have more control over political messaging.

The recurring claim is that political messaging funded by the private sector “buys” elections and produces undue influence.

But total spending by government on political messaging almost certainly DWARFS total spending on political campaigns by private-sector interests.

The USA TODAY reports today that a SINGLE government “propaganda contractor” (their words) named Leonie Industries has been paid “more than” $423 million for propaganda IN AFGHANISTAN ALONE since 2008. Tom Vanden Brook, “Propaganda contractor dumped by U.S. Army,” USA TODAY, Nov. 19, 2015 at 6A.

The article adds that there is little evidence that these hundreds of millions of dollars accomplished anything!

More than half of American households cannot scrape together $400

110601_12532_2

Frightening statistic in a new book: “HOW THE OTHER HALF BANKS,” by Mehrsa Baradaran. Government studies show that more than half of U.S. households cannot come up with $400 to cover a medical emergency without borrowing.

Almost TWO-THIRDS OF AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS lack enough savings to get by for three months.

The book details the plight of America’s “unbanked.” Those millions without bank accounts or investments.

According to Ben McLannahan, who reviewed the book for the FINANCIAL TIMES, the unbanked actually spend much more of their total income on interest payments than do those with bank accounts. “The average unbanked family earning $25,000 a year spends more on finance [via payday loans and pawnshops, mostly] than it does on food.”

Years of government policies which punish saving, business-launching and investment have created a nation of dependents.
