Edward Snowden, now living in exile for his exposure of the Obama Administration's crimes, publically spoke today on this weekend's cyber-attack on the NSA front organization, The Equation Group. Snowden pronounced the leaked documents genuine and stated that, in his belief, the hack was intended to send a message that the Equation Group's illegal activities could be directly linked to the US government.
The Equation Group is a secret band who produce sophisticated malware programs. Their existence was disclosed in a 2015 International Cyber Security Conference in Mexico City. There is strong circumstantial evidence linking the group to the NSA. It was known to have begun operations at the time the Department of Homeland Security was founded; its malware bears NSA codes; and the time stamps correspond to DC-based federal work schedules. Additionally, most of their known targets center on countries with whom the US is antagonistic: Iran, Russia, and Syria. It is believed to have around 60 operatives. But Snowden hinted that that may not be the limits of the Equation Group's activities.
"This leak is likely a warning that someone can prove US responsibility for any attacks that originated from this malware server. That could have significant foreign policy consequences, particularly if those operations targeted US allies. Especially if those operations targeted elections."
The leaked documents may become public anyway, as Wiki Leaks' Julian Assange now claims to have copies, which will be published soon.
The LGBTQ-friendly NSA has yet to respond. The servile US Corporate Media is likewise burying the story. Which should not be surprising since many parent-companies of US news media outlets are themselves NSA contractors. For example, Thompson-Reuters, a Canadian based conglomerate, manufactures the software that NSA uses to maintain domestic watchlists. Their system, too, was hacked earlier this year.
It's difficult to say whether the lethargic American populace will be much disturbed by these new revelations. Snowden's earlier revelations about widespread NSA domestic espionage barely raised any concern here in the Prozac Nation, although it did cause considerable damage abroad when NSA activities were exposed in other countries.
Once upon a time in America, however, agencies like the NSA were considered secret police forces and the types of crimes NSA commits both against the American people and foreign nationals would never have been tolerated. But in our Postmodern Era, where Might makes Right and Integrity is for Suckers, the Ameroboob would prefer to look the other way. Most Americans today are firmly convinced that Liberty is not too high a price for so-called 'security.'
Fortunately, though, heroes like Snowden and Assange are on the job. A free people have no need of secret police forces. In America today, few dare speak their minds because of the NSA; essentially a Political Underworld that will stop at no crime to achieve the objectives of certain interest groups. What criminal enterprises like NSA mostly rely upon for their power is the fear and apathy of the American public.
It appears, though, that the tide may be turning in the direction of freedom again. A few good men like these, and a few foreign governments like Russia and China are proving that the Wall Street/Beltway elites are not invincible. That, in turn, can embolden other men to take action.
China's Space Agency announced today a successful launch of the world's first quantum communications satellite. The Micius, named for a famed 5th Century Chinese astronomer was launched for a two-year journey into space. The satellite has the capability of circling the earth every 90 minutes.
Quantum communications were developed in Geneva in 1995, but have never been deployed on a large scale. If successful, the Chinese satellite will connect Beijing and Shanghai. The quantum system is said by physicists to be invulnerable to hacking or espionage. While a few cities worldwide have experimented quantum communications in various municipalities, China is the first to attempt the new technology on a wider scale. The physical problem they hope to have solved involves the dispersion of quantum particles from interference with naturally-occurring particles.
Alexander Sergeienko, a quantum expert at Boston University stated, "The event is very exciting and does carry global importance. The race is now moving into near space to cover longer distances between large metropolitan areas."
However, like many US scientists, Sergeienko could only watch the race from a distance. The moribund US Space Program, hamstrung by bureaucratic interference and failing infrastructure, once again found itself humbled by Chinese technology and industrial efficiency.
NASA and the Pentagon, recently forced to get an exemption from Obama's sanctions to purchase critical rocket engines from Russia---engines no longer manufactured in the US--- have no plans to put such a satellite of our own in orbit.
According to a recent statement from the ADG Investment Group, in 1990, the US accounted for 90% of satellite capability for the global market. Today only 1 satellite in 25 are American-owned. The last three presidential administrations have seen an increasing shift in NASA's focus from space exploration and communications to projects dealing with so-called climate change. NASA's budget is currently at an all-time low.
The general consensus among the Government-Media Complex---and that of the American public in general---is a state of denial. In spite of the obvious advantages China would have with an invulnerable communications network, most Ameroboobs prefer to believe---in spite of the fact that sensitive US government and corporate databases are hacked on a routine basis---that our technological capabilities are far superior to China's.
"We have one advantage that other countries lack---the spirit of entrepreneurship." a recent US Chamber of Commerce report stated about our increasing technological failures. Yet there may be some truth to this: the US website PornHub recently announced in the Corporate Media that it pays bounties to computer experts to find and fix flaws in its security system; illustrating once again where American technological priorities actually are.
No, instead, the American public is busily engaging in a heated debate over which candidate hacked and doxxed the other; and both blaming Russia for their problems. It's a lot easier, after all, than facing facts.
George Soros, one of the most notorious of Wall Street's political incendiaries, has finally begun to get some public exposure into his criminal dealings. Last week, Wiki Leaks exposed Soros as one of Obama and Clinton's advisors on a political situation in Albania, a country in whose currency Soros is heavily invested. Hilary Clinton obsequiously bowed to Soros' demands---just as her husband did in 1999, when Soros helped instigate the so-called Kosovo Crisis.
On Saturday, nearly 3,000 internal documents from Soros-controlled front-groups were released by cyberactivists into the public domain. These documents reveal his dealings with the Obama Administration and his meddling in foreign affairs from 2008-2016. Like Hilary Clinton, Soros immediately accused Russia of being behind the leaks. Soros has a particular hatred for Russia. His hopes of a hostile takeover of Serbia were dashed when Russian troops intervened in the Kosovo Crisis, leading to a mutiny of NATO officers against Clinton toady Gen. Wesley Clark and the intended invasion's collapse. In 2007, Russian intervention foiled a Soros-Halliburton scheme to seize the South Ossetia oilfields.
Today, the Russian news service Pravda reported the contents of the new revelations relating to Soros' double-dealings in Ukraine, another Wall Street international hostile takeover thwarted by Russia. The Neo-Nazi government in what is left of that country has been receiving support from Soros. Ukraine broke up after an Obama-backed coup in 2014, with Crimea voting to join Russia, and the Donbas region gaining its independence. The Wall Street looters lost the most economically valuable part of the country; and since have had to pump billions into the Ukrainian rump-state; a country governed by Nazi neurotics upheld by an army of European Skinheads and Islamic Jihadists trained by Obama's LGBTQ-friendly military advisors.
The batch of 300 documents relating to Ukraine, according to Pravda, illustrate Soros' involvement in upholding that Regime. The Soros Fund, for example, invested nearly 1 billion into projects influencing Ukrainian media and creating liasions between them and the Western Media. $195,000 was spent in the Netherlands to lobby that country's Parliament to ratify EU relations with Ukraine. Additionally, Soros spent about $750,000 on establishing a 2016 'advisory committee' for the Ukrainian government---at the same time negotiating an EU bailout for that country's economy (which is heavily invested in by Soros and his Wall Street cronies).
The documents revealed that Soros has put together a $1 billion Wall Street investment fund for Ukraine if the proposed EU bailout can stabilize the country. In exchange, of course, Ukrainian debt to Russia would be cancelled.
Most here in the Prozac Nation---who can't find places like Albania, Ossetia, or Ukraine on a world map---will likely shrug their shoulders and say, 'Oh well. Sucks to be them. Soros is a Smart Boy who knows how to play the game." But they ought to consider that Soros' good friends Trump and Clinton are competing for the US presidency right now; and that Soros has been tied to funding several 'activist' groups in the US. Among them are Media Matters, Moveon, and Black Lives Matter. Are we to suppose that Soros, a globalist, not even born in the US would ply his trade on the American public like he does on foreign nationals?
The answer is, of course he would; but Ameroboobs are too concerned with Pride Rallies, Prozac, and anti-Police Riots to care. So men like Soros continue to grab more power and profit, while fanning American outrage in any direction but towards themselves.
In the ongoing saga of America's Summer of Rage, the infuriated citizens of Milwaukee went on looting and burning rampage during the last 24 hours. The Governor of Wisconsin has now deployed the State National Guard to the scene.
The catalyst behind this latest Ameroboob outburst was another police shooting a ghetto thug. In this case, a hoodlum with a stolen pistol and a lengthy criminal history was fleeing from police when he turned to shoot at them. In the Prozac Nation, a police officer killing a dangerous criminal in self-defense is grounds for a popular uprising. There are never any such protests when political whistleblowers like Seth Rich are mysteriously murdered; but it's politically correct to be outraged by police shootings; and so Milwaukee burns.
All of these riots start before any official inquest is even conducted, and the police are exonerated in the overwhelming majority of cases. In spite of that, not only do cities burn where the shootings happened; riots and rampages also erupt in cities hundreds of miles of the scene. These facts alone ought to raise some red flags that these riots are being orchestrated. As is the fact that the Obama Administration doesn't seem to be taking any especial initiatives to prevent them.
The Cultural Marxists would like nothing than a pretext for creating a national police force and abolishing all local jurisdictions. Bush Junior started the process in 2001, by creating the Department of Homeland Security and consolidating federal functions under it. DHS also has the authority to intervene in local jurisdictions (though of dubious legality under the Constitution). This what the Cultural Marxists and the so-called Libertarians actually mean when they talk about community policing.
What we have today---although in a corrupted form in many municipalities---is actual community policing. In the past, cities hired and promoted local policemen and often assigned them to neighborhoods where they lived. The same Cultural Marxists who now want 'community policing' were the ones who changed the old system on the spurious grounds that it bred corruption and nepotism.
The best course of action would be for municipalities to return to the old system---throw out the political correctness and limit federal intrusion to its proper jurisdictional boundaries. But as we have seen since 2001, the Security Industry translates to billions of dollars, and effective policing would bite into the profit margins.
There are no incentives for anyone at a national level to stop these riots. The Government profits by expanding its power; the Media profits by sensationalizing the events for ratings; Wall Street profits from rebuilding the communities and selling security; et cetera. If these things are going to stop, they'll have to be stopped by the communities themselves.
But this is unlikely to happen given the fact that the Corporate Media and Big Pharma keep the average Ameroboob in a constant state of narcotized rage and ready to explode on cue. Proof of that can be seen in Milwaukee where these rioters created a virtual war zone over institutional racism in the police department without realizing that the police officer who shot the suspect is himself, black.
The weekend is only halfway through and already there have been an unusually high number of violent, often fatal, outbursts of Ameroboob outrage. An especially noteworthy incident happened this morning in New York City's Queens Neighborhood. Despite the Big Apple's reputation for having some of the Prozac Nation's strictest gun control laws, an Islamic Imam and his assistant were gunned down outside their mosque.
The Imam and his assistant were ambushed and shot execution-style on their way home from religious services. The NYPD isn't sure at this point the motive behind the attack, although they quickly ruled out the possibility of anti-Moslem motives. Like the Seth Rich case, the NYPD suggest a robbery---even though nothing was taken from the victims. This is probably to be expected from a police department which also believes that there are 31 different genders.
Not to be outdone, the Corporate Media rushed to the scene. The American Media, which has the most uncanny ability to find shocked and grief-stricken interviewees who are willing to make political speeches, immediately scapegoated Donald Trump.
"This is not what America is about" one such media shill was quoted as saying at the scene, "We blame Donald Trump for this. Trump and his drama have created Islamophobia."
What the Media Cartels and their paid actors seem to forget are the thousands of Moslems slaughtered globally from Bosnia to Somalia; and from Libya to Afghanistan by the Clintons and their policies. Granted, the Bushmen slaughtered a lot of them too; but the same Leftist street rioters who protested Bush Senior and Junior are nowhere to be heard when the Clintons and Obama continued their policies.
Though the investigation is ongoing, the general consensus of those most acquainted with the Imam is that he was targeted because he was a high-ranking member of NYC's Islamic community. And it has to be admitted that American Moslems---at least those outside of the Wahhabi Cult---have actually suffered considerable demonization from the mouths and pens of the so-called Alt-Right.
The American Right attacks Islam with about the same vigor and vitriol as the Left attacks Christianity. Typically, the average media figure on the Right doesn't even draw a distinction between Islamic sects. They call for things like atomic attacks on Sunni Iraq and Shiite Iran alike; and scream to deport all Moslems; regardless of said Moslems' backgrounds or beliefs. It's a common mantra among them that all Moslems are potential terrorists---not unlike the feminist belief that all men are potential rapists.
Another Alt-Right talking-point is their repeated claim that no leading Moslem nation ever condemns Islamic terrorism. In fact, the government of Iran---whom the Alt-Right universally despises---frequently condemns terrorist attacks, both at the civil and clerical levels. It cannot be denied, even by the worst political warhawks, that the Iranian contributions in defeating Al-Qaeda and ISIS have been invaluable.
What is even more to the point is that thousands of Moslems have actually died fighting against the Jihadists. Nearly every Moslem household in Syria has sacrificed at least one patriot in the fight against Jihad. Thousands of Moslem volunteers from Iran, Lebanon, Chechnya, and Afghanistan have joined ranks with the Allied cause to defeat the Jihad. In fact, just this week, the Afghani Brigade (attached to the Iranian Expeditionary Force) was cited for valor in holding a key position in Aleppo against a numerically superior Jihadist force.
What is actually behind this so-called Islamophobia? Two things, mostly. The first is that the US Corporate Media, Wall Street, and the United Nations are heavily dependent on Wahhabi money. The Wahhabis foment anti-Islamic sentiments (when it's directed at non-Wahhabis) and then complain about 'Islamophobia' (when the narrative benefits them).
The second is rooted in the same ideological bent driving American anti-Catholicism. Authoritarian ideologues cannot tolerate religions which preach that a duty to God overrides one's duty to the state. Which is why both the Left and Right hate mainstream Islam, but tolerate the Wahhabi fanatics. This is because the Wahhabis claim that duty to God and duty to their government are the same---which is also what American Liberals and Conservatives mostly believe.
The only one responsible for this Imam's murder is the thug who pulled the trigger and co-conspirators (if there are any). The Corporate Media's shameless staging of these post-tragedy interviews needs to be exposed; and their own complicity in encouraging mob violence investigated. But given that we live in culture that is more outraged about shooting gorillas and lions than about shooting clergymen, it likely will not be.
Once upon a time in the Western countries, men were presumed to be valuable assets to Civilization and Society. In the era before Cultural Marxism and the Game Cult came to define manhood, men actually were expected to contribute something more to society than sex and reproduction. Our postmodernist era has rather lost sight of the fact that reducing men to their sexual capacity is the morality of apes, but not of mankind.
But this was not always the case. As the narrator states in the opening scene of this week's entertainment review:
"Throughout time there have always been men to whom justice has been more important than life itself. From these ranks come four men; prepared to fight valiantly for justice, wherever the need may be. Joined together in this cause, they are The Four Justice Men."
The Four Just Men was produced by British television syndicator, Sapphire Productions and aired on independent stations in the US in 1959-1960. It was based on a popular British novel series of the early 20th Century. Rarely, the series was sometimes titled in the US The Secret Four.
The updated television version originated in WW2 Italy when a joint British-American commando unit and Italian partisans survived a dangerous mission and bound themselves together in a lifelong brotherhood. In the late 50s, their former commander, a wealthy British aristocrat, died. He left a substantial fortune to his four surviving comrades---on the condition that the money would be mutually shared in fighting for justice. Hence, The Four Just Men were born.
The series was somewhat unique in that the four main characters rarely appeared together in each episode, and each story revolved around one character's individual fight for justice. The four were men of distinction in their postwar professions: Tim Collier, American foreign press correspondent stationed in Paris; Jeff Ryder, an American jurist; Ben Manfred, UKIP parliamentarian; and Ricardo Poccari, Italian owner of a luxury hotel chain. This format gave the writers a wide scope for illustrating what a fight for justice meant. It was everything from saving a single innocent life to destroying international crime syndicates.
A storyline premised like this is obviously could succeed only in a culture where people believed that Right and Wrong were more than a matter of personal opinion. We live an decadent age where winning at all costs and looking out for Number One are the defining attitudes---which also happened to be the prevailing attitudes of the series' villains. One of the interesting aspects of The Four Just Men was that it aptly depicted, through a series of well-written drama, the ways in which the pursuit of right or wrong effected both society and the individual.
One of the principle cultural differences between 2016 and 1959 is that, then, a human life was valued for its own sake, whereas today it is valued for only for its temporal utility. This explains the seeming contemporary cultural paradox that is defined both by aggressive personal narcissism and a shallow, platitudinous concern for the 'community'. The Cultural Marxists and the Game Cultists both promote this type of selfishness. This because they have deprived our culture of another moral tenet: empathy.
The Game Cultists elevate selfishness to a virtue, and despise empathy as weakness. They sneeringly refer to Social Justice Warriors, another blanket-term they've concocted to smear their opponents; as if social justice were some undesirable thing. Yet, it is patently obvious that justice cannot really be served anywhere---by any man---without a belief that we are all equal before God, and that human feelings and human faults are common to us all. Christian Doctrine is the source of our traditional belief in Justice; and why it stresses correcting injustice against annihilating all opposition.
The Cultural Marxists do the same, though they often camouflage their selfishness and lack of empathy by claiming their crimes are in the interests of Social Justice. Instead of exposing their hypocrisy, the Gamers embrace it; and silence any discussion of social justice as an ideal. It doesn't fit into the Game paradigm that men behave unselfishly in the cause of others. Their ideal is the so-called Alpha Male, to whom all the non-Alphas must bow in submission. One becomes an Alpha by instilling fear and employing manipulative cunning, so empathy has no place in their system.
Because when we're talking about real men---like those "to whom Justice is more important than life itself"--- we are talking about men willing to risk life and everything associated with it to better the lives of others. Basically, that is what Justice is all about: not some Manly Alpha Leader of the Dark Triad simply proclaiming that Justice is whatever he claims to be. Nor obviously it the pronouncements of Cultural Marxists who redefine Justice to suit their own selfish purposes. Justice is an absolute and only those whose men whose ultimate strength rests in recognizing Justice as Divine Attribute can fulfill it in its truest form.
Admittedly, there is a certain poignancy in The Four Just Men, viewing it from the standpoint of 2016. Culturally, it gives us a depiction of an era when good men did good things and were actually respected for doing them. Today, the smart boys teach that such men as Collier, Ryder, Manfred, and Poccari are chumps. But it's men like those four who make the world a better place; while those smart boys have given us the dog-eat-dog dystopia we live in today.
All episodes of The Four Just Men are available for free viewing on Youtube, and a DVD set is also available. The series is remarkable for its well-written drama, and not infrequently, its unexpected conclusions. These are men who fight hard, think deeply; and live well because they do what's right. The world as it once was, and should still be.
Things aren't looking well these days for America's LGBTQ-friendly military. The Pentagon is facing a number of embarrassing situations this week; although they still have yet to resolve the minor problem of 90 US atomic warheads sitting in hostile Turkish territory. That story has fallen from the Corporate Media's sphere of interest; with the Prozac Nation finding more substance in stories about a basketball player who claims to have broken his penis three times.
The Navy announced today that it would seek disciplinary action against Lt. David Narker. Narker commanded the patrol ships captured by Iran in January; and whose poltroonery in front of that country's armed forces made the US Navy an international laughing stock. Narker is the third officer to be disgraced in the aftermath of that debacle.
The Pentagon and the Corporate Media are desperately trying to spin the story to scapegoat Iran, with some spurious claims that the Iranians somehow violated international law. However, when a heavily-armed ship enters foreign territorial waters and the crew immediately surrenders, falls on its knees and starts crying for mercy, it is difficult to imagine another course of action that Iran could have taken.
The Pentagon was also obliged this week to revise---for the first time in decades---its dietary standards. It seems that the national obesity problem is effecting our brave men and women in uniform as well. Lowering the fitness standards to accommodate homosexuals and women seem to be having a negative effect.
Army Sergeant Major John Troxell, once again displaying the intellectual acumen of today's military leadership said to the press: "This problem gives us a potential liability on the battlefield. The minute we lose that competitive advantage in combat because our enemies are training harder than we are, we'll have more problems than we have right now."
Really? Who would have imagined that better-trained and more physically fit soldiers actually performed better in combat? The new standards, however, are still being debated. There seems to be some controversy among more politically-correct Pentagon officials relating to fat acceptance and self-esteem issues over negative body images.
And another scandal has also arisen on the beleaguered island of Okinawa. Following further anti-US protests, which have delayed the construction of some helicopter landing pads, the post-BREXIT British government disclosed that the Pentagon illegally used the Okinawa Base to train British military personnel in 2015. This was in direct violation of the 1960 treaty with Japanese Empire, that specifically prohibits third-party nations from employing the Okinawan base. This was especially egregious since it appears that nobody in the Obama Administration bothered to ask Japanese permission first.
Okinawan authorities immediately demanded that the Pentagon confess to which other countries the base has illegally granted access. Considering Obama's proclivity for training proxy forces on US bases, the Okinawans' concern is a legitimate one. US military personnel and civilian contractors account for most of Okinawa's crime rate.
The American people need immediately to start demanding some kind of action; because it is becoming increasing obvious that---despite its technological advantages---our military is absolutely no condition either to fight wars abroad or maintain peace at home. Political Correctness and Cultural Marxism is rotting the military from the inside out; just as it has our schools and media. Unfortunately, the passivity of the average Ameroboob will allow our military to decline, just as it has allowed most other institutions to decline.
