On Crimes Real And Perceived

From theconservativeinsider.com: ‘Warning: How the VA ‘Red-Flags’ Patriots’ - Michelle Malkin - August 7

(Mostly to do with how the VA deals with Vets who may simply be rightfully disgruntled about being treated poorly.)

Stan / August 8, 2019

Thanks for this article, Michelle. It highlights a very important point: that calling somebody on a ‘Red Flag’ matter is not only subjective, but can be terribly abused, and including politically.

A dangerous road to go down, especially in relation to the right to own weapons. Best not even to start down it. It smacks of Soviet Union ‘mental health’ decisions against merely political dissidents.

And on this note: An excellent article by Paul Craig Roberts - on OpEdNews.com - August 7: 

“The FBI has published a document that concludes that "conspiracy theories" can motivate believers to commit crimes.

“Considering the growing acceptance of pre-emptive arrest, that is, arresting someone before they can commit a crime that they are suspected of planning to commit, challenging official explanations, such as those offered for the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King or the official explanation for 9/11, can now result in monitoring by authorities with a view to finding a reason for pre-emptive arrest. Presidents George W. Bush and Obama created the police state precedents of suspension of habeas corpus and assassination of citizens on suspicion alone without due process. If Americans can be preemptively detained indefinitely and preemptively assassinated, Americans can expect to be preemptively imprisoned for crimes that they did not commit.

“As Lawrence Stratton and I explained in our book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, the historic achievement of forging law into a shield of the people is being reversed in our time as law is being reforged into a weapon in the hands of the government. -

“The FBI document says that conspiracy theories "are usually at odds with official or prevailing explanations of events." Note the use of "official" and "prevailing." Official explanations are explanations provided by governments. Prevailing explanations are the explanations that the media repeats. Examples of official and prevailing explanations are: Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, Assad's use of chemical weapons, Iranian nukes, Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the official explanation by the US government for the destruction of Libya. If a person doubts official explanations such as these, that person is a "conspiracy theorist."

“Official and prevailing explanations do not have to be consistent with facts. It is enough that they are official and prevailing. Whether or not they are true is irrelevant. Therefore, a person who stands up for the truth can be labeled a conspiracy theorist, monitored, and perhaps pre-emptively arrested.

“Consider 9/11. No forensic investigation of 9/11 was ever officially conducted. Instead the destruction of the buildings was blamed on Osama bin Laden, and scenarios and simulations were created to support the allegation, not to find the truth. Architects, engineers, scientists, pilots, and first responders on site cannot reconcile the official prevailing explanation with the facts. The scientific and testimonial evidence that they have produced is dismissed as "conspiracy theory." It is those experts who stand on the evidence who are defined as conspiracy theorists, not those who created the story of Osama bin Laden's 9/11 conspiracy.

-

“Consider Russia-gate. Here we have an alleged conspiracy between Trump and Russia that was the official prevailing explanation. Yet, to believe in the Russia-gate conspiracy did not make one a conspiracy theorist as this conspiracy was the official prevailing explanation. But to doubt the Russia-gate conspiracy did make one a conspiracy theorist.

“What the FBI report does, intentionally or unintentionally, is to define a conspiracist as a person who doubts official explanations. In other words, it is a way of preventing any accountability of government. Whatever the government says, no matter how obvious a lie, will have to be accepted as fact or we will be put on a list to be monitored for preemptive arrest.

“In effect, the FBI's document reduces the First Amendment, that is, free speech, to the right to repeat official and prevailing explanations. Any other speech is a conspiratorial belief that can lead to the commission of a crime.

“Every American should be greatly concerned that the government in Washington does not see this FBI document as an open invitation to tyranny, repudiate it, and demand its recall.”

Amen.

On The Straining Of Credulity

Consider.

The Mueller Investigation, and followup Hearings before Congress: A bust for the Democrats.  And the OIG Report pending.  And the Declass.  And the unsealing of Indictments, whatever all they hold.

The tide beginning to turn.  To the point that AG Barr even brought back the death penalty.  A particularly ominous note, that.

What to do, to reshape the narrative, back to Get Trump.

Got it.

More Gun Confiscation - er, Control.   For the sake of The People, doncha know… 

Communists being communists.

‘You Can Trust The Communists…To Be Communists’.  To be true to their calling.

I remember when I first came across information regarding this particular tactic as part of the overall strategy for takeover of the country.  It was in the very early ’70s, and I was working at a furniture factory in the East Bay Area, some miles south of Oakland.  The radio in the lunchroom was set to a particular station, which carried both talk shows and music.  One day late in the lunch hour, when no one else happened to be still there, I was idly listening to a major talk show host out of San Francisco, when he introduced his next guest.  Who was a young Jewish guy from Hollywood, I caught, and his subject was Gun Control.  What?  Yes.  They were terrible things, to be in the possession of just anybody.  They should be, at the very least, controlled, opined the young guest.  There was none of this Mass Shootings going on at the time; so the talk show host, logically, I thought, asked his guest what he had to say when people said that that was just a ploy of the communists to get guns out of the hands of the public.

Silence.

The question totally put the young Jewish guy from Hollywood off of his spiel.  I forget what happened after that.  That session ended rather abruptly, and the show host signed off for his lunchtime session.  He was a well-known talk show host; from San Francisco; on the liberal side of the political fence, if anything, although that factor was not as big a deal at the time as it has become in our day and Crisis age.  I can imagine, from our vantage point in this sort of subject, that the young Jewish guy from Hollywood cornered the talk-show host after the mikes were turned off, and called him, rather confrontationally, on his question, undoubtedly having expected a more amendable welcome to the show.  It was a perfectly legitimate question, and especially since the country was getting (being sucked) deeper into a (lucrative, no-win) "land war in Asia,"* and some college-age young people in the U.S. were starting to organize into demonstration calls, not just against the war, but for ‘Ho - Ho - Ho Chi Minh!’.  The talk-show host was just being evenhanded in his approach to the question.  The young Jewish guy from Hollywood obviously expected, or at least hoped for, more of a supportive sharing of the microphone from that source.

The Left certainly has that now, from the largely monopolistic Mainstream Media.  And increasingly Bolshie activity on the part of the social media.  Big Tech.  Censoring conservative voices simply for being conservative.  Not even under the pretense of being ‘racist,’ or ‘hate speech’ anymore.  Just out-and-out censorship, of speech on the ‘wrong’ side of the political process going on.

The process of takeover of this nation, by the New World Order crowd.  For their vaunted - and terribly totalitarian - global, One-World government.  Run by our erstwhile masters.  On the Dark side.  Bent on making the world safe for tyranny.

And doing a good job of it.

So far.

 But, fortunately, 

about to face their Waterloo.

With a superior Plan at work.

P.S. People, people…Yes, there are some ‘crazies’ out here amongst us.  But how come you have so easily bought into the ‘official’ paradigm, that the answer to such as depression is drugs? with their terrible side effects??  including lethally???

     Depression - as with many other such mental conditions - is a symptom.  Not a disease.  It is controllable, and treatable, by nutritional factors.

     The Day of Sorcery is over.  It’s time for - 

     as I have said before, many times, in these pages, in the larger context; heralding the Event  - 

     the Real Thing.

     To include free energy devices.  And what are called Med Beds.  And teleportation.  And.  And.  And……

     As I say:

     The.  Real.  Thing.

Life, Being A School...

“Life is a school.  The purpose is to graduate.”

Those were the words on which I found myself concluding a sharing one evening with a couple of gals back at the spiritual community where we were all members, in the north of Scotland.(1)  Relatively new to the community, they were curious as to what it was like in The Auld Days, back closer to its beginning, when I arrived (and spent the better part of the next 30-some years of my life there).  Off the top of my head, and with one of them quickly typing what I had to say into her laptop (she had forgotten to bring her tape recorder; but was vey adept with the newfangled stuff), I started a reminiscence, and then left it to their questions for specific leads into the story.   

I enjoyed the session, as did they; and the Q&A continued via emails for a considerable time after that, until we met in person one evening, to discuss where we wanted to go from there with all that material.  The upshot of that session was that I approached the community’s book publisher, to see if they would be interested in the material.  I looked on it as a sort of our day’s ‘The Seven Storey Mountain,’ the Trappist monk Thomas Merton’s story of his life, leading into a spiritual community of his time, back in the lead-up into WWII; and the Findhorn Press, by then rather independent from its roots in the original community, didn’t seem to know what precisely to do with it, but ‘humored me’ as a respected Elder Brother of the place, in considering it as a sort of in-house production, with limited distribution.  In the event, the deal fell apart when abruptly I felt it was time for me to go (for reasons other than that rebuff of a sort), and nothing ever came of the material.

A pity.  It was a good insight into life in the community after its beginnings, and with its ‘growing pains;' turning into the core of a ‘planetary village,’ and thereby losing to some extent its original identity.  But there you go.  You pays your money. 

So: I left the community in the spring of 2012, to return to my home country (in its time of need; another story).(2)  I have had little contact with the community since.  (Except for an email from one of the ladies a few years later, to let me know how things were going for her there.)  I am sure they are still doing good work in encouraging - inspiring - people to live ’from higher consciousness’ - to live lightly on the planet, and in harmony - and in an educative manner - with each other, in a spiritual context.  But I simply had other work to do by then. 

Having graduated from that level of my education.  And moving on.

And Up.  

As we are all meant to.

\Which is the whole point of the exercise.

Life being a school.  And all.

People, People...

I was stricken to my core last night.  Someone has obtained a photo of the interior of a warehouse, reportedly somewhere in China, jammed full with bodies.  Of humans.  Men, women, and children.  Naked.  Hanging, like cattle, or sheep.  Some already showing signs of slaughter, presumably for their organs.  And with eyeballs already extracted.  As though such items are delicacies.  To someone.

Or some thing.

And which is said to be but one of several such human abattoirs in that country...

,,,and there is the Disappeared children of the West, too; and all the pedophilic dirty business here...... 

People, people…

We are all ‘a piece of the continent, a part of the main,’ as the philosopher put it.*

Another way of putting it:

Where We Go One, We Go All.

I am reminded of a poem that I wrote many years ago, that went something like this (as I say, it was many years ago, now):

‘Under these two olive trees

Each make and mind appears 

                    dissolves

                             and comes

No more; but I was there, to tell of it

Beside this mountain stream, murmuring

Of places been and heights attained

To dash down then, and then 

To slip into the sea

To be risen up again

Relentlessly.’

How can you form and disappear at the same time?

Answer: If you are part of a Whole.  Of The One.

Forming.  And disappearing.  Forming.  And disappearing.

My message to you, dear Reader:

Form.  And disappear.

And understand what is happening.  To

You.

From the Sublime to the Ridiculous:

I understand that talking heads at MSNBC have accused  Pres. Trump of wanting to “exterminate all blacks”.

Sigh.

Two things.  1) If I were Pres. Trump, I would sue the hell out of MSNBC.  And  

2) The NWO crowd, getting desperate, are obviously going for broke now, to attempt to trigger their civil war against America, in order to merge it, or its remains, into their totalitarian global state.

They must.  Not.  Have.  Their.  Way.

Their Way is the antithesis to a process unfolding to its state of Synthesis.  Whereby we Eathians will have reached a final stage of development.  For those who are ready to graduate into it.

For the rest:

They can have another go at The Play again.  

And see what kind of progress they can make, through it, that time around.

And around.  And around.

Until they get it, too.

'It':

The way off

The Wheel.

A Bit Rich...

…Coming From The Golden State

from thecommonsenseshow.com: ‘Way beyond censorship, California Democrats now trying to de-platform President Trump from the election BALLOTS’ - JD Heyes - August 1

“Are California Democrats getting so worried about losing their grip on one-party rule in the Golden State they are willing to act like tyrants and usurp the Constitution in order to keep POTUS Donald Trump off the 2020 ballot?

“It sure seems that way based on a new law the Democrat super-majority passed this week.

“On Tuesday, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that requires POTUS Trump to reveal his tax returns — which are his private property, mind you — before his name can appear on the 2020 presidential ballot.

“The bill, called SB 27, “Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act,” requires any gubernatorial or presidential candidates running in California to file copies of their previous five years’ worth of tax returns with the secretary of state’s office or be stricken from the ballot, The Hill reported.

“Because California is the largest economic driver in the country, Newsom argued, his state has some sort of “responsibility” to require this additional information of gubernatorial and presidential contenders — even though the Constitution’s presidential requirements for office contain nothing about divulging financial information (and it would have, if the framers wanted it to be in there).

“‘As one of the largest economies in the world and home to one in nine Americans eligible to vote, California has a special responsibility to require this information of presidential and gubernatorial candidates,’ said Newsom

.

“‘These are extraordinary times and states have a legal and moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence. The disclosure required by this bill will shed light on conflicts of interest, self-dealing, or influence from domestic and foreign business interest,’ he continued…”

Dear Gov. Newsom,

I applaud your concerns for the Republic.  It is indeed fortunate to have someone of your political caliber and moral turpitude leading the Golden State.  “These are extraordinary times and states have a legal and moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence” in such as the electoral process.  I couldn’t agree more.

And while we are on the subject, of “minimal standards”: It would appear that you did not know that the state’s former AG, Sen. Kamala Harris, does not meet the “minimal standards” of the federal office that she is a candidate for, i.e., the Oval Office.  For not being a ‘natural born’ citizen.  You do know what a ‘natural born’ citizen is, don’t you?  Well - apparently not, since you have not said anything about her situation.  Here; let me help you out on this ‘minimal standard,’ with the definition of a ‘natural born’ citizen from the definitive tome of the day of the constitutional Framers on such nation-building matters.  This, from E. de Vattel’s ‘The Law of Nations’: A ‘natural born’ citizen is a person “born in the country, of parents who are citizens” thereof.*  And that eligibility requirement for that particular federal office STILL STANDS, absent a Constitutional Amendment to the contrary.   

This as well, it may not escape your keen attention to such matters, implicates another person who is ineligible for that particular office.  I refer to one Barack Hussein Obama.  

I expect you to get on this matter right away.  Your being so concerned about such things, and all.

Sincerely,

’Stan’ Stanfield 

One of your fair state’s citizens.  Who has been disenfranchised, with the flooding into the state and onto its voter registration rolls, of reportedly millions of illegal aliens.  Safely ensconced there, because your state a) requires no voter ID whatsoever (even though your state issues an easily-obtained photo ID to those who do not apply for a driver’s license; to go along with your state automatically registering people to vote who apply for a driver’s license, AND now has made it even legal for illegal aliens to apply for a driver’s license.  Making it all very obvious as to the corruption going on, and emanating from the highest echelons of the state); and b) does not clean its voter reg rolls.  Why not?  Because, as I was informed by the L.A. County Voter Registrar’s Office when I made enquiry into this matter, “A person signs up on the rolls on penalty of perjury”.  Yes; and?  That’s it.  That’s all.  ‘Now, keep moving along.  Nothing to see here.’

   Except endemic corruption.

* a) Neither of her parents was an American citizen at the time of her birth.

  b) The whole point of the exercise having been and being to make sure that the occupant of that particular federal office - and that particular federal office ONLY; signifying its special nature in the eyes of the Framers - had NO DUAL OR OTHERWISE CONFLICTING LOYALTIES OR ALLEGIANCES OR INFLUENCES.  Had SOLE ALLEGIANCE to the U.S. (in this case).

We are coming to a parting of the ways.  The way of Evil, and the way of Good.

Make it a Good one.

An Ode To The Unknown Soldier

      An Ode To

           The

Unknown Soldier

Thanks be.

I was beginning to wonder

                   seriously

If we Americans were

Going to go down

                 in history -

               the history

              as written

By the victors - 

To be known as

The Pushovers.

But I hear

In the near distance

The cavalry

Coming.

Just in the Nick

Of time 

I see.

Hey.

The American way.

To the very

           End.

How

Fitting.

What If....

A friend, who periodically checks out my blog site, and acting as a friend, has advised me to ‘give it a rest’ regarding BHO’s ineligibility for the office of POTUS, saying, in effect, on the one hand, Who cares, and on the other, wondering where it would lead to.

I’ll tell you where ‘it’ will lead to.  ‘It’ will lead to Americans waking up to their responsibilities as self-governing individuals.  Before the Marxists take over their country.

My country.

To say: It will lead precisely to where we are going - to hell in a handbasket - if we don’t straighten up and fly right.  And recognize the difference between living by the rule of law, and living by what is called ‘the rule of men’.  By arbitrary law.  Also known as tyranny.

Let me play a little game of What If with you, dear possibly sorely put-upon Reader of these pages.

What If…

A person who did not have sole loyalty or allegiance to the United States - was under the influence of one or more foreign powers - somehow became president of the United States.  Was slipped into that extremely commanding position of power - not only regarding the U.S. itself, but in terms of the world as a whole - as a sort of Manchurian Candidate.  All smiles and good cheer on the outside.  And malevolent at heart.  Who, once there, began quietly to change the U.S. government from within, in such forms as appointing fellow, er, ‘travelers’ to positions in federal agencies and departments, and firing senior officers in the military branches who were too ‘patriotic’ for the New Order aborning, and who allowed Russia and Red China ringside seats from which to watch - monitor - our national defense systems at work in a major energy grid Exercise, and issued Executive Orders setting up a totalitarian - and I mean total - dictatorship in the event of a Crisis calling for a declaration of Martial Law, and oh, a bunch of other measures along these same lines.   

Now, you might be thinking, right around now, Oh, that sort of thing would never happen here.  What are you, a conspiracy theorist or something?(1)  What with the two-party system and all, with the Republicans and Democrats keeping an eye on each other??

Which is like two foxes guarding the hen house.(2)  But to continue.

The point being that all of these circumstances have been created.  Along with the flooding into the country, under BHO’s administration - and forgetting for the moment all of the MS-13 gang members, and ISIS and other terrorists, and drug and gun runners, and child and adult sex traffickers - of millions - millions - of potential Democrat voters, in the form of illegal aliens.(3)

And the further point being that we are seeing the results of the breaching of the wall of the Constitution through that act in our immediate past, in the further crumbling of the rule of law in this country with the unquestioned candidacy of yet another ineligible candidate for the presidential office (and for the same reason), in the form of Sen. Kamala Harris.  Whose parents were not citizens of the U.S. at the time of her birth.

She can be a Senator of the U.S..  As long as she was “nine years a Citizen of the United States,” and has met the other constitutional requirements for that particular federal office.  

And no, she cannot be a Vice President of the United States, either.  See the Twelfth Amendment to our Constitution.

That is to say:

to our rule of law.   

Now, if you wish to attempt to continue to live under the rule of men - 

of tyranny - 

that is, would be, your choice.

But I wouldn’t recommend it.

The lessons of history, and all that. 

Which we seem to have forgotten, largely.

Or were never taught about.  Properly.

The corruption - to the end of tyrannical takeover - being so longstanding in the nation, and all.

P.S. We are being given a peek into our nation’s future by Australia at this time.  TPTB Down Under are trying to slip a major step in the direction of tyranny over on the Australian public in a totalitarian two-step; one of which is a regulation being sold as a block to the black economy and money laundering, which would ban private cash exchanges over 10,000 Australian dollars (but as a ‘regulation’ could be changed at any time by the regulators; say, into banning such exchanges outright);(4) and the other of which is a ’negative interest’ feature in their banking.  The latter is based on the idea of keeping individuals from hoarding their money in fear of a financial collapse, so that they have to pay a fee on the monies they keep stored as savings in the banking system.    

     Now, theres is nothing wrong with the idea of a cashless society per se, or even of ’negative interest’ to keep the currency circulating.(5)   You would just have to make sure that such a system was in the right hands.

     As in a kingdom of heaven. 

     Anything less could result in hell to pay.

P.P.S. I recall that when my friend got after me for harping on again in these pages about the ineligibility of BHO, my instant reactive response was to say: "Someone has stolen my Constitution from me, and I want it back".  And I do not resile from that position.
     We WILL live by and under Law.
     In one form or another.

   Oh.  That’s right.  This all is your job.  Isn’t it.  Helping to create Crisis, in order to give you the Opportunity to take over the country, and merge it - wholesale or piecemeal - into your vaunted New World Order.  Where people will toe the line of the ruling regime.  Or be done away with.  As in the French Revolution of old.

   Or more precisely: as in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.  When and where ‘kulaks’ was the demeaning, and demonizing, word, and category, du jour.

   Say that you signed a petition criticizing the government’s policy regarding politically tolerated speech: 

   ‘Transaction invalid.  Access denied.’    

(5) The latter system has been tried out and has worked well.  But it cut the Central Bank system out of the picture.  Result: Plug pulled.

   No such individualistic measures to be allowed in the Brave New World.  Where the CB-system banks will be ‘too big to fail’.  And y/our deposit money belongs, essentially, to the bank.

   Sounds familiar, doesn’t it.

   And creepy.

   And creeping closer.
