Live by Treachery, Die by Treachery

A historical lesson about selling your soul.
by Tony Cartalucci

Bangkok, Thailand May 11, 2011 - Nikolai Yezhov served as a soldier in the Russian revolution, as a party member during Stalin's rise, then a leading participant in Stalin's notorious purge. It is said that a policy paper penned by Yezhov served as the rhetorical justification for the arrest of 40 million Russians, 20 million of which would end up dead. He would lead the purging of not only the regime's opponents, but also the systematic purging of various military units and political supporters as well. For when the megalomaniacal tyrant looks across his dominion, all before him, both friend and foe, is but a sea of potential usurpers.

In the end, not even Nikolai Yezhov escaped the astronomical atrocity he had helped perpetuate. It is said he was dragged, weeping hysterically to the executioner's room. He then scurried about like a rat attempting to dodge the bullets he had once so eagerly dealt out. After his execution, Stalin would literally have his memory erased by having his image removed from photos taken together. Yezhov was not the only treacherous set of helping hands to be cut off by Stalin's regime. His predecessor and successor both met similar fates.

Sadist, bully Nikolai Yezhov: The system in a sense
of ironic justice, cornered, tortured a false confession from,
and executed the man who had so eagerly dealt out
such a fate to so many others.

The moral of this story, beside the cost of allowing a degenerate elite to paralyze an entire nation of millions in fear for nearly a generation, is that those who help the elite do so, inevitably pay the price as well. They pay the price not at the hands of those they see as enemies, but at the very hands that feed them. While the story of the Russian people frozen in inaction is an instructive tale for most of us, the story of Nikolai Yezhov is for the pundits, the police, the military, the policy makers, and the bureaucrats, who blindly serve a system, or worse yet, knowingly serve a system that preys on its own people. When the system is done consuming it's enemies, it turns in onto itself. After it is done setting false pretenses to brutalize foreign and domestic enemies, it begins setting pretenses to brutalize its own allies. No one is safe at that point, and the system's brutes soon become the weeping, cowering victims themselves.

Once considered the iron fist of Stalin's purges,
Yezhov would soon become a weeping, cowering
victim of his own nightmarish police state.

Discovery's "Monster: A Portrait of Stalin in Blood" is a particularly relevant film for both America's people and America's public servants. Sycophants and domineering bullies beware, this is not a road you will walk down with impunity. Yezhov's fate, as was the fate of the men before and after him, will soon be yours. The only way to avoid this dead end, is not walking down this road to begin with. Turn back and rejoin the human race while you still can.

Yezhov himself knew for weeks before his arrest that the system he once so eagerly served had turned on him. He himself played a role in exterminating his predecessor and knew very well his own fate. Running and hiding was no longer an option, and there were none left to stand with him - his own brutality saw to that.

New US Security Appointments

And the dangerous separation of state & military.
by Tony Cartalucci

Bangkok, Thailand April 29, 2011 - The latest game of Washington musical chairs expects to see General David Petraeus head the CIA while current CIA Director Leon Panetta is to take over Robert Gate's position as Secretary of Defense. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) astutely noted that this arrangement further blurs the lines between America's "intelligence community" and the role of the US Armed Forces.

To call the CIA an "intelligence agency" is entirely a misnomer. In reality, the CIA has become an extra-legal private military that has waged secret wars for decades. It has been recently augmenting its repertoire with pilotless drones to carry out air campaigns along the Afghan-Pakistani border. The CIA has also been involved in on-going military operations inside of Iran, Somalia, and now Libya. The CIA's ever expanding budget has long been categorized as "classified" and therefore entirely unaccountable to both the American tax payers and their so-called elected representatives.

The CFR's article, "Crumbling Wall Between the Pentagon and CIA" notes that the CIA's growing influence is due to "its greater integration with the military." This "greater integration" will engender the US military with less oversights and more secrecy as it expands its support for the CIA's growing role in waging global war.

As the lines blur between the US military and this private, secretly funded army we can expect the worst of both worlds to be combined, with the US military already conducting extra-legal operations in Libya in tandem with the CIA, with absolutely no Congressional oversight or even so much as token approval given. If the US military and CIA are not accountable to the American tax payers or their elected representatives, who are they accountable to?

The short answer is global corporate-financier interests. These are the entities that create, fund, and supply a steady stream of resources to private international think-tanks that shape and peddle what ultimately becomes US, and to a greater extent, "Western" foreign and domestic policy. The move toward "international law" and "international institutions" being the ultimate arbiters of Western progress, leaves the future of an increasing number of nations under the control of unelected, often largely unknown corporate-financier oligarchs. General Petraeus himself was a Council on Foreign Relations member as of 2009.

Operations in Libya within the greater "Arab Spring" is just one example of what we can expect, as policy planned in the shadows of secrecy are piecemeal revealed and sold to the public by a complicit corporate-owned media, and carried out by an increasingly unaccountable military-intelligence-industrial complex. The usurpation of personal and national sovereignty is not solely a matter of foreign policy. Americans need only look back to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the extra-legal collection of legal firearms, the extra-legal deployment of military troops in direct violation of Posse Comitatus, along with entirely illegal and illegitimate private mercenaries roving the streets of New Orleans. This is only the beginning of what is becoming a truly dystopian nightmare.

An actual corporate army for hire: Blackwater, now "Xe" resides in
Dubai, the globalist gangster hideout of choice, to avoid extradition
for their various accused crimes against humanity. Here they roam the
streets of New Orleans on corporate and government payrolls.

As people continue to wake up and call for accountability, even the scant illusion of such accountability will be systematically taken away. Such accountability will continue to ebb as long as the corporate-financier oligarchy continues to hold the power and resources we literally depend on to live. The US Constitution specifically put arms in the hands of citizens and the duty to declare war in the hands of elected representatives to prevent what is happening this very day. This dangerous separation of state and military represents another aspect of American government taking the unmistakable shape of absolute tyranny.

In the face of such unaccountable power mongering, the answer is to usurp in turn the power of these corporate-financier oligarchies, built upon over a century of our own ignorant complicity. By boycotting and replacing their system, purchase-by-purchase, house-by-house, community-by-community, we will erode the foundation upon which they wield such ever-expansive unwarranted influence. From their fiat financial system, to their factory farms, to their monopolistic industrial practices that stand like a brick wall in the way of real technological progress, everything they have commandeered has become a bane to our existence and an exercise of control over us. We have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking these responsibilities back into our own hands, lest this corporate army, unaccountable to the people, becomes the enforcer of this increasingly neo-feudal system.

Welcome to the Prison Planet

The Debate is Over

by Tony Cartalucci

This is a real video found on "the Forum for the Future" website. There are three other "possibilities" also featured, all promoting "low carbon" lifestyles.

Some of the largest corporations on earth have signed on as partners of the "Forum for the Future." What might first appear as just another special interest lobbyist group, pushing a corporate agenda masquerading as a humanitarian cause, is actually the coup de grace, the globalist "end game" laid out for all to see.

The seemingly innocuous cartoon with its disarming music, features the future of the human race, confined in cities built by central planning, food rationing, the end of intercity travel, allocated slots on public transportation, allocated jobs, allocated housing, and just about every other aspect of corporate fascism, communism, socialism, Orwellian police state society, the Brave New World, and every other tyranny real or imagined cobbled together into one nightmarish and very real goal.

While three other possibilities are also featured, none remotely as terrifying as the one above, they seem less likely considering their divergence from the very real UN Agenda 21, a program of literally moving people off their land, and having them converge inside tightly controlled cities.

The Prototype and Piecemeal Progress

Further proof that "Planned-opolis" is the design of choice is the fact that it isn't something you have to wait for, the prototype already exists at the tip of the Malaysia Peninsula upon the island republic of Singapore. Described as "The Singapore Solution" by National Geographic, Singapore has achieved in one generation its booming metropolis with soaring towers, an efficient mass transportation system, safe streets, and relatively low unemployment through a system of draconian central planning under a single party system.

National Geographic proposes the following question: "What price prosperity and security? Are they worth living in a place that many contend is a socially engineered, nose-to-the-grindstone, workaholic rat race, where the self-perpetuating ruling party enforces draconian laws (your airport entry card informs you, in red letters, that the penalty for drug trafficking is "DEATH"), squashes press freedom, and offers a debatable level of financial transparency?"

National Geographic, and very obviously the Forum for the Future seems to argue, yes, social engineering and the suspension of your inalienable human rights are more than acceptable to ensure their idea of a well-oiled society is realized.

Take another look at the "partners" section of the Forum for the Future. What sort of planned city do you think would benefit the interests of Royal Dutch Shell, Cargill, or Bank of America? The goals of the Club of Rome and the UN's Agenda 21 have long been denied by the mainstream media, including Reuters and Time Warner's CNN, but something is changing.

The program for global government, the systematic dismantling of traditional human society, and the creation of a socially engineered, electronically controlled humanity is being openly sold to the public. It has been piecemeal laid into place on the back of wars, staged terrorism, the fraud that is "global warming," financial collapse, and the coming wars and cold wars waged against rising states.

One can only imagine the implements of tyranny that will be developed during an ensuing stand-off between the West and China or war with Iran. One can only imagine how alluring any job or home will be, allocated or not, following the collapse of America's dollar or the bursting of China's housing bubble, or any number of collapses the ponzi-globalist system seems prone to create.

Conclusion

Humanity's inalienable human rights are non-negotiable. For America, these rights are enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but were existent long before the Founding Fathers put quill to parchment and are applicable not just to Americans, but to all of humanity. No crisis, no threat, no philosophical argument can undermine, usurp or side-step these human rights. Furthermore, central planning, rationing, socialism are not solutions to any given problem, but rather stop-gaps at best. It is technology, education, innovation, and exploration that solve problems permanently.

Prehistoric man didn't emerge from the ice age because of careful rationing, socialist policies, or central planning, they did so by inventing better spears and hunting techniques. They further weathered food shortages and overpopulation by developing agricultural technology and exploring new climbs and places to settle. That is how we will successfully weather the challenges we face today, through innovation, technological progress, education, and the exploration of new climbs and place, including space travel and colonization.

Those that would deny you this future and confine you in a "planned city" within which they control your very destiny, seek to deny you your humanity. They do so not for the benefit of mankind or the planet, but to feed their insatiable megalomania. One only needs to consider Forum for the Future sponsor, Bank of America's "foreclosure frenzy" in which they were literally stealing homes from people who had fully paid for them, or fellow sponsor Royal Dutch Shell, one of the greatest purveyors of real environmental and humanitarian devastation in, amongst other places, Nigeria. These are businessmen, bankers, propagandists and polluters, already plaguing the world with their complete disregard for the environment or humanity. Would confining humanity to corporate sponsored "planned-cities" be offering a solution to the world's problems, or eliminating the possibility of anyone ever solving them?

United Corporate-Police States of America

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura investigates America's growing police state.



By Tony Cartalucci

When former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura asks Homeland Security spokesman, Lance Clem, who in the Federal Government oversees the network of government funded "fusion centers," his answer is "no one." It is more than likely that corporations like the war profiteering Halliburton, slave running DynCorp and other globalist multi-nationals "oversee" and run them, as turned out to be the case in Pennsylvania when a private US-Israeli firm was caught profiling activists. This is a tyranny of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations. A tyranny to meet millions of Americans as they wake up to realize their "elected" representatives are nothing more than corporate rubber stampers, regardless of party lines and rhetoric.

The Federal Government has already deemed Americans as security threats, detained them without charges, and held them indefinitely without due process in purpose-built concentration camps. They were Americans of Japanese descent*, held during World War 2. If you think that it can't happen again, or the events of Nazi Germany can't be repeated else where in the world, including the United States, think again. It's happening right now, the stage is set, and only one question remains ... will Americans capitulate?

People might ask - why, if the government is so tyrannical, are shows like Governor Ventura's "Conspiracy Theories" allowed to air? Remember though, ghettos, concentration camps, mass murder and genocide in Germany weren't made possible because the Nazi's conducted a stealth, shadowy conspiracy. These horrific affronts to humanity were made possible by the German people's acquiescence and trust in their government that their very public policies of penning up "undesirable" members of society, sterilizing them under an aggressive, Anglo-American inspired eugenics program, literally tagging them, forcing them into slave labor and exterminating them were essential to "homeland security."

The price of the German people's ignorance, in some cases fear and cowardice, to stand up to tyranny cost them their nation, their prosperity and millions of their lives, homes, and livelihood. The price of allowing tyranny to fester in America will make 9/11, the excuse used to create the Hitlarian Department of Homeland Security, look like a footnote in history.

*It should be pointed out the role that the census plays before mass round-ups and genocidal purges are carried out. Both the Japanese in America and the Jews in Germany were identified as state enemies through the use of the census. America's recent, and quite un-Constitutional "redesign" of the US census, in the current climate holds frightening parallels to the build-up of past atrocities.
