They're trolling for a new terrorist attack.

The 1%, in seeking to further advance their imperialist globalization of all resources and to install their enslaving banking system of debt as far and wide as it may reach, are attempting to create another terrorist attack upon the US or ally nations in order to justify further invasions of sovereign nations as well as to crack down upon liberties at home (the surveillance state is designed to protect the 1% and their corporate interests). "See, we told you so!" would be their cry, to show us as exposed in "V for Vendetta", their plans to prove to the little people "why they need us!" The "war on terror", itself being pure terrorism, would never end, meaning the feeding trough of taxpayer monies would never empty. The actual war "debt" would be used to force "austerity" upon us, a double-dip into taxpayer monies. Then you'll see the smash-and-grab they're doing to Detroit occur in many other US cities, a pattern of destruction they've already demonstrated in Europe.

The planned attack(s) upon Syria and their expected escalations into targeted countries were an attempt to further these neocon/PNAC goals, to cement the US in the role of world police which of course is a thin cover for corporate globalization, to cement in place the systems creating income inequality. The veil is lifting on such massive negativity and selfish agenda, and people sensed it and rejected it outright. Their larger plan is now under increasing revelation. Awareness is increasing. Rejection of the old is increasing. The efforts of the old are also increasing, but witness the Arab Spring, Occupy, the Indignados, Wisconsin activsts, YoSoy132, and very importantly the First Nations' Idle No More campaigns world-wide to protect sacred water and to demand the Earth be treated as Home, not as a disposable resource for short-term profit.

Keep kicking ass! It's working!

Karl Rove to Suskind:

"Guys like you are in--what we call--'the reality-based community'. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." "That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."


Bad Job




"WASHINGTON, June 14, 2004 (HalliburtonWatch.org) -- Five former Halliburton employees and one former executive of a Halliburton subcontractor describe egregious examples of abuse involving Halliburton's Iraq contracts. In a letter written by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), these whistleblowers describe instances where Halliburton employees would abandon or torch new trucks -- worth $80,000 -- if they acquired a flat tire or other minor mechanical problems. Halliburton would subsequently purchase new trucks with U.S. taxpayer dollars."

Police militarization expo Urban Shield descends on Oakland (VIDEO)


"SWAT teams, military contractors and law enforcement from the world over are gathering this weekend in Oakland, CA for the annual event Urban Shield, a training and weapons expo made possible by the Department of Homeland Security and arms manufacturers."

(Protest supression techniques were evidently discussed and shared.)


Michigan's Koch / "tea party" "emergency manager" legislation:

Starting in 2011, Rachel Maddow broke several stories detailing (then) unbelievable agenda in Michigan, starting with Governor Rick Snyder giving himself the power to destroy the funding of Michigan cities and also to then declare any city in trouble, such as may be caused by such de-funding, to then be under the dictatorial power of an "emergency manager". Set up, knock down:



Please watch the above. Even the first two minutes are imperative.

So basically, the Governor of Michigan since early 2011 is purposely de-funding cities and then declaring them emergencies in order to install "emergency managers" with dictatorial power. Such powers and plans just happen to be exceedingly beneficial to the 1%. Ahem. And it gets worse.

The leaked 2006 Citigroup Plutonomy memo Part 1


Findings revealed in the memo:
-The economies of the US, UK, and Canada are driven by the very rich, not everyone else combined
-They enjoy specific modes of growth (Globalization and politics used to insure it [the Trans Pacific Partnership])
-Threats to their growth (historic models reveal trends and outcomes predicting the Occupy movement or similar; weaknesses of Plutonomy)
-Equities are the main asset of the rich; homes are that of the rest. The housing bubble and the illegal foreclosure engine do not harm the rich; on the contrary
-Methods of Plutonomy self-protection include direct corporate influence of the political process (Citizens United, oppression of Occupy, formation of the “tea party”, etc.)
-The very rich profit from the spy technology revolution (TSA scanners, militarization of police, etc.) which also provides for social control and the oppression of dissent (Occupy, etc.).
-As the economy is driven by the rich, the challenge is to switch that to one driven by the 99%.
The memo does not even include mention of the corporate alliance ALEC who are writing laws which are being passed in various states, such as “stand your ground” and “right to work”. Corporations writing laws. The TPP are a global version of this and we do not get to vote.
This is WWIII. It is economic, it has long since begun, and it is the 1% against all the rest of us.

Page 17, “The Risks to Plutonomy”. 
 

-Inflation
-Financial collapse
-Ending technological revolution
-Political pressure to end the increase in income and wealth inequality
-Destroy globalisation
-Destroy right-wing, anti-immigration political parties which support the rise in profit share/fall in wage share
Page 18
-Call for relaxing immigration controls/deportation
-”The political process is the greatest threat to Plutonomy.”
-Page 21 lists equity strategies. “Equities are the main asset of the rich.” -Page 12 of the memo. So, attack equities.
Of course, it says that the rich actually drive the economy, and the economy mainly serves the rich. So live outside the economy and destroy the economy.

"The risks to Plutonomy: Finally, political pressure to end the increase in income and wealth inequality."

"Perhaps the most immediate challenge to Plutonomy comes from the political process. Ultimately, the rise in income and wealth inequality to some extent is an economic disenfrachisement of the masses to the benefit of the few. However in democracies this is rarely tolerated forever."

“We see the biggest threat to Plutonomy as coming from a rise in political demands to reduce income inequality, spread the wealth more evenly, and challenge forces such as globalization which have benefited profit and wealth growth.”

Page 18:

"So is Plutonomy under threat politically? We are keeping an eye on this one. At the moment it is too early to make this call. ...does not resonate as a population determined to destroy wealth inequality."

"While there are challenges to this, not least through populations/the political process demanding a more 'equitable' share of the wealth, in the short term we think the trend of the rich getting richer is likely to persist."
