i've read about this from several sources though this is the first i've seen in what might be called 'well known media' and though you might doubt it due to your previous programming, its true;


Never had so many people been put in prison. The size of the Allied captures was unprecedented in all history. The Soviets took prisoner some 3.5 million Europeans, the Americans about 6.1 million, the British about 2.4 million, the Canadians about 300,000, the French around 200,000. Uncounted millions of Japanese entered American captivity in 1945, plus about 640,000 entering Soviet captivity.

As soon as Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945, the American Military Governor, General Eisenhower, sent out an “urgent courier” throughout the huge area that he commanded, making it a crime punishable by death for German civilians to feed prisoners. It was even a death-penalty crime to gather food together in one place to take it to prisoners … The order was sent in German to the provincial governments, ordering them to distribute it immediately to local governments. Copies of the orders were discovered recently in several villages near the Rhine … The message [which Bacque reproduces] reads in part: “… under no circumstances may food supplies be assembled among the local inhabitants in order to deliver them to the prisoners of war. Those who violate this command and nevertheless try to circumvent this blockade to allow something to come to the prisoners place themselves in danger of being shot….”..........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2019/01/12/a-holocaust-was-what-the-americans-did-to-the-germans/#more-190031

this is in the column of those i may well send to the local electronic fishwrap, but in case it never makes it there, you have an opportunity to read it now;

Fifty years ago there was a TV episode on ‘outer limits’ called “to serve man”. In it aliens, other planet types, landed and one of the first things they did was present world leaders a book, in their language. They provided earthlings free travel to their planet with extensive marketing about wonders to be found there. Earthlings lined up at the space ships to go. One radical, early on, decided to translate the book presented at the first landing. When most of the earthlings had already departed he discovered that “to serve man” was a cookbook.

“Consumers” say “out of the box” for being out of the mainstream, an unapproved place to be, so it’s hidden with slang. Eighty percent of the people will follow and/or do anything. You see them everywhere. They eat corporate plastic food. They have no minds. They follow whoever has the loudest voice. Propaganda campaigns from corporate media, even though fewer people trust them, still have great influence. The mainstream media repeat, as though real, what government tells them.

Despite all the moralizing propaganda “our government” isn’t much different than the feudal lords of the Middle Ages acting as though they rule thru divine right. It’s difficult to say that you think “our government” stinks and that you’ve had enough. The wealthy have the power, buy “our government”, and own American policy.

The quality of America’s education is considerably reduced in recent years. With such a handicap, even brilliant working class individuals have little hope of escaping their lot in life; a form of slavery essential to maintaining some measure of social order for the ruling class.

When the doctrine of “divine right” wore thin, a replacement was created so “consumers” didn’t view political authority as only naked power. That replacement is the theory of the rule of law. As long as the public identifies order with law, it will believe that an orderly society is impossible without the state provided law, and will support the state without considering how oppressive it may be.

Mentally challenged flag wavers, accept the myth that those from Government are here to help in the face of demonstrated reality. The only rational conclusion is to expect the worst. Those who still say it could never happen in America lack a real historic awareness and current events understanding.

Constitutions are worthless for controlling government that doesn’t know any limits to its power except your patience. We’ve accepted a society with shameful extremes of poverty, immense wealth and untrustworthy civic institutions. We’ve accepted regulation that’s no more benevolent than it absolutely has to be to avoid revolution.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allowing indefinite military detention without charge or trial, places every American at risk of the torture chamber. The next fabricated crisis offers the opportunity for Martial Law creating the order for breaking down your door. Of course we all know the innocent are never accused because those in ‘our’ government are the best of the best and only have your interests at heart.

At least they’ve put your taxes to good use, fighting wars of choice, creating the Dept of Energy making us energy self-sufficient, creating the Dept of Education making our kids smarter, creating the VA to properly care for the veterans of our military adventures, creating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to allow everyone to own a home, creating an entitlement state that has resulted in 100 million government supported “consumers”, creating the SEC to make sure Wall Street banks don’t commit fraud destroying the worldwide financial system and now we have Obamacare to make us healthier.

If our system is so grand how come we lead the world in per capita and total prisoners? Our officially poor and homeless grow faster than our wealthy population. The system sells hope like a lottery ticket. Banks have been repeatedly caught laundering money for drug gangs and similar nasty activities. Nobody went to prison for those acts. I wonder why.

 “Our government” should care about observing the law. It protects you from government, and they really dislike that but it also protects government from you. Law is government’s only claim to legitimacy, yet they seem intent on ignoring it in the most public way possible. A contract is valid only if both parties comply with its provisions. We wouldn’t want “consumers” to think the deal is off, would we? You might not vote or something.

Liberty isn’t economic, but life style. The economic good is a bonus: Would you choose to live in a cage because the economy’s better there than in the wild?

Americans that question the system or expose its crimes are considered enemies; communists, terrorists, subversives, and such; “Our leaders” tell us to trust big brother, defer to authority, approve the military, NSA, CIA, and always “support the troops.” That’s what being a “patriot” is about to be acceptable in America.

America is terrified by its own images of terrorists everywhere. Like many dying empires America is striking out in blind desperation to save itself from its own paranoid fears and is destroying its foundations. America is the Constitution. Without the Constitution America ceases to exist and becomes a tyranny. America has become a tyranny masked in the costume of “freedom and democracy.”

Satire died the day Kissinger was given the Nobel peace prize. What’s the difference between our empire and Rome’s; between TV and the coliseum, between Germanic tribes and Afghans or Russians?

“Our government”, creates coups everywhere, subverting the democratically-elected governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras and Ukraine; backing terrorist forces in Syria and Libya; militarizing Africa; and negotiating “free trade” agreements that remove democratic accountability from transnational corporations, and international banks: a few of America’s global, anti-democratic, anti-people strategies.

We’re told we live in a representative democracy, but who is being represented?

We’ve become the country where an angle to get something for nothing is “accepted”. “Everyone is doing it, so why shouldn’t I”. The oligarchs and politicians set the tone. Everyone is on the take. Greed and avarice are considered legitimate goals. The country revolves around fraud, corruption, scams, and swindles.

If history is a guide, most Americans will get out their dusty flags again, chant USA! USA! USA! And many Christians, conservatives, Tea Party types will be duped and distracted, once again. It just keeps on working out that way; just tell them they are being attacked by Muslims, and/or Putin. Rationality is in short supply in a nation of frightened, terrified people. It’s the ultimate disaster story of the welfare-warfare state—a nation with the most powerful government in history presiding over the most frightened people in the world. Large powerful government results in a weak citizenry, a citizenry that gets its courage vicariously through the troops and falls for anything, a citizenry that eagerly surrenders its freedom to their own government in the quest to be kept safe from the dangers that such government engenders.

A few years ago I was offered an opinion column in a local publication which I accepted and submitted several ‘opinions’, and then I got an email showing it was only partially so as the editor wanted to control how I expressed my opinion and was unresponsive when I called him on it. Free speech isn’t what you’re told it is in school.

it seems dangerous to be an 'america firster' especially when opposing the zionists, as this will make more evident if it isn't already;

‘I am more and more impressed by the fact that it is largely futile to get up and make statements about current problems. At the same time, I know that silent acquiescence to evil is also out of the question.’ –– Thomas Merton (1915 – 1968)

More than occasionally, top-ranking Americans who are not Israel Firsters are taken out. It seems the preferred method to get rid of the “uncooperative” is a character assassination. Case in point was Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, who was slated to become President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Defense in 1994. Inman’s downfall followed his comments such as this:

“Israeli spies have done more harm and have damaged the United States more than the intelligence agents of all other countries on earth combined … They are the gravest threat to our national security.”

This article explains how the neocon Zionist media operatives got Inman to withdraw and go home by calling him a “conspiracy theorist” and a kook. This was spearheaded by The New York Times (aka New York Slimes) Jewish columnist William Safire. It is generally believed that he was also threatened. Later in 2006, Inman was further marginalized by the usual suspects for criticizing the Bush administration’s use of warrantless domestic wiretaps............https://www.winterwatch.net/2019/01/take-downs-of-america-firsters/

more news about how israel is attempting full control of 'our' government and you;

Some may be happy to learn that the US Senate didn’t pass the ‘anti BDS bill’ on Tuesday. But a look at the vote reveals that America’s politicians are fully removed from the American ethos of freedom. Fifty six  mostly Republican Senators, just 4 shy of the 60 needed to pass the bill, voted to enact a law contrary to the Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech as granted by the 1st amendment. The defeated bill included a provision to allow states and local governments to punish Americans who boycott Israel. This was an astonishing and nearly successful attempt  to legislate crude government interference with freedom of speech in its most protected form: political speech. The fact that such a bill made it to the floor of the Senate confirms that the American political establishment is an occupied zone committed to silencing opposition to Israel and its lobby.

Democrats did not necessarily oppose the anti BDS bill on first amendment grounds. Instead, most Senate Democrats have vowed to block all legislation in the Senate until it votes to end the government shutdown. Trump has closed the Federal government until Congress accedes to his demand for $5.7 billion to begin to erect an Israeli style ghetto wall on the Mexican border.

If the president is so desperate to defend America’s southern border, perhaps he should consider not giving military aid to Israel, even if just for two years. This would free $8 billion and give Trump enough cash to build his wall and then maybe he could invest the remaining $2.3 billion where it’s really needed: to make America great again.............http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=181897

Guest Post by CCRider
I offer here an idea to drive a stake into the heart of the ruling elite while requiring no effort, no rallies, no demonstrations and no violence.  It can be done sitting on our asses, in fact that’s a requirement.  We hijack the non voting majority.  There are many well reasoned articles for not voting.  One of my favorites is by Doug Casey  https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-caseys-top-five-reasons-not-to-vote/
I stopped voting after Reagan grew the government by 30%.  If he couldn’t stem the malignant growth of the federal government I reasoned, no one could.  Like any parasite government would grow until it killed off the host.  I did vote for Ron Paul in the two republican primaries but I knew it was merely symbolic.  Not only was he not allowed to win, if he came close they would have killed him, like Jack Kennedy, another reason I gave up on the evil that is voting in a corrupt democracy.

It was sort of hard sticking to it early on, not getting sucked into the red/blue bullshit hype.  In time I grew to love my non voting status.  It gave me a perspective that wound up being refreshing and enlightening.  I became a spectator in the bleachers emotionally detached from the outcome which I could not affect in any case.  I became bullet proof to nitwits like W Bush.  I could see through the dapper, skin rash deep facade of Obama and the horny carnival barker who followed him.  I wasn’t being played.  The big picture came gradually into focus.  I could see through the ruling elite’s machinations and tricks to lead the voting wildebeests down their desired path.  I became a proud non voter.  It’s not a fashionable position I know but that can change..........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2019/01/11/take-this-vote-and-shove-it/#more-189947
