the empire is clearly coming to the place in which they say to all that the rules are what we say they are and when we say they are, but they're subject to change on our whim whenever we choose to do so;

WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson gave a brief statement to the press after the latest court hearing for Julian Assange’s extradition case in London today, saying the Trump administration is arguing that the First Amendment of the US Constitution doesn’t provide press freedom protection to foreign nationals like Assange.

“We have now learned from submissions and affidavits presented by the United States to this court that they do not consider foreign nationals to have a First Amendment protection,” Hrafnsson said.

“Now let that sink in for a second,” Hrafnsson continued. “At the same time that the US government is chasing journalists all over the world, they claim they have extra-territorial reach, they have decided that all foreign journalists which include many of you here, have no protection under the First Amendment of the United States. So that goes to show the gravity of this case. This is not about Julian Assange, it’s about press freedom.”.......https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/01/23/wikileaks-editor-us-is-saying-first-amendment-doesnt-apply-to-foreigners-in-assange-case/

how 'our' government works;

perfect example of why people increasingly don't trust cops;

San Antonio, TX — If you believed the official story of how the San Antonio Police Department and federal law enforcement agents killed Randall Goodale while serving an arrest warrant earlier this month, you’d think the officers barely escaped with their lives and had no choice but to use lethal force. However, unlike the officers involved in the execution of Goodale, video captured on a nearby surveillance system does not lie.

On Jan. 13 police were serving Goodale with an arrest warrant for felon in possession of a handgun. Police claimed that when officers pulled up Goodale “started ramming into occupied police vehicles.”

At an interview on the scene of the crime that day, SAPD Chief William McManus did not stutter when he said, “Well, he was ramming the cars, for one. And there were officers in the vehicles whose lives were being threatened by that.”

But this simply wasn’t true at all. Goodale’s vehicle never rammed the cars until after cops killed him and he either fell on the gear shift or the accelerator. Also, the cops weren’t even in the vehicles.

What actually happened is clear from the video. Police are seen rolling up to Goodale, who was reportedly working on his truck in the driveway. Within seconds of arriving, police open fire on him.

Goodale is sitting in the driver’s seat but cannot be seen clearly in the video because the trailer blocks the camera’s view. But it is entirely clear that the vehicle was not moving. KSAT, who exclusively obtained the video, explains how the incident unfolded:..........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/police-lie-video-killing-man-fabricated-story/

a presentation of who the real terrorists are;

My REAL “terrorist” compilation.

1. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright

” I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.”

When asked if the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children was a price “worth” paying.

2. Hillary Clinton celebrating the murder of Libya’s President, Muammar Gaddafi.

“We came, we saw, he died”

3. Donald Trump secretly recorded describing the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani to a Republican fund raiser audience.

Crowing over the terrorist kiling of IRGC General Qasem Soleimani, Hashd Al Shaabi commander, Abu Mahdi Al Mohandes and the staff that accompanied both heroes of the Resistance who fought against US manufactured terrorism in Iraq, Syria and the entire region.

4. Mike Pompeo, former CIA director

“We lied, we cheated, we stole”

5. George Bush jokes about the non-existent WMDs in Iraq, a fabrication that led to the slaughter of Iraqi people and devastating long-term consequences of US WMDs.

Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere,” Bush told the audience, drawing applause.

Another slide showed him peering into another part of the office, “Nope, no weapons over there,” he said, laughing. “Maybe under here,” he said, as a third slide was shown.

6. Obama jokes about Predator Drones at a White House Correspondents dinner. 2010

“The Jonas Brothers are here; they’re out there somewhere. Sasha and Malia are huge fans. But boys, don’t get any ideas. I have two words for you, ‘predator drones.’ You will never see it coming. You think I’m joking.”

I could go on, but I think you get the picture – bipartisan US administrations describe the Middle East and target regions as “uncivilised” but it is clear who are the real savages. Death is not a laughing matter, murder is a crime. They would do well to remember that..........http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=201310

accurate excellent quote by mark twain found on web at http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/176654/tomgram%3A_danny_sjursen%2C_mad_policies_for_a_mad_world_/


In March 1906, on the heels of the U.S. Army’s massacre of some 1,000 men, women, and children in the crater of a volcano in the American-occupied Philippines, humorist Mark Twain took his criticism public. A long-time anti-imperialist, he flippantly suggested that Old Glory should be redesigned “with the white stripes painted black and the stars replaced by the skull and cross-bones.”

we're told daily that the empire is fully invested in a capitalist system but if you care to look a bit further than what the tv tells you, you'll discover it ain't so;

The psychotic instability will resolve itself when the illusory officially sanctioned "capitalism" implodes.

Whatever definition of capitalism you use, the current system isn't it so let's call it "capitalism" in quotes to indicate it's called "capitalism" but isn't actually classical capitalism.

Try a few conventional definitions on for size:

Capitalism allocates capital to its most productive uses. Does the current system actually do this? You must be joking.

Capitalism is based on private labor and capital freely choosing where to invest time/assets. Does the current system actually do this? You must be joking.

Capitalism enables comparative advantages which enrich everyone. Does the current system actually do this? You must be joking.

The core dynamics of "capitalism" around the globe are:

1) Central banks create unprecedented sums of currency and credit and distribute them to the top of the wealth-power pyramid: banks, financiers, corporations, the super-wealthy.

2) The recipients of the central banks' free money and credit dominate production, finance and the political sphere, controlling these forces to serve their own interests to the detriment of the biosphere and 99.9% of humanity.

3) The system depends on ever-increasing debt and leverage in every sector, household, commercial and government. If debt and leverage stop expanding, the system crashes.

4) Energy must be abundant and affordable to the average worker or the system crashes.

5) Despite the supposed benefits of "comparative advantage" globalization, costs of essential goods and services are rising relentlessly everywhere while wages stagnate everywhere.

6) The abject failure of "green solutions" such as recycling to the horrendously wasteful landfill economy...........https://www.oftwominds.com/blogjan20/future-capitalism1-20.html

clearly satire, this post by videorebel points out how much money the five sided fun house on the potomac has wasted, but you don't care cause they've made you safe from boogie men they told you about;


Money GPS posted this: $35 TRILLION IN “ACCOUNTING CHANGES”
.
hmmmm….
.
This is rotten, top to bottom. Never for a second ignore the fact that the military industrial complex completely runs the show (On this level). They do whatever they want, whenever they want.
.
There are distractions on the surface level which serve their purpose but they will never actually modify the path which has already been laid out.
.

What do you think about this?Money GPS is clearly wrong in blaming the Usual Suspects. I have uncovered the real culprit. I left the following comment at his video on his Money GPS channel.

The black man did it. All $35 trillion was stolen by one black janitor working nights. It was discovered that he had links to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden’s chauffeur. He drives a car with an unusually big trunk.

$35 trillion dollars visualized. There are 50,000 twenty dollar bills in a million dollars. American paper money weighs one gram each so a million dollars in twenties weighs 50,000 grams or 50 kilograms. A billion dollars is 1,000 50 kilogram million dollar bundles of twenty dollar bills.

Our devious black janitor with links to the Muslims takes a 20 minute break every 2 hours but no lunches. He drives to the all night car wash next to big Al’s Louisiana BBQ where his co-conspirators removed 250 50 kilo bundles of twenties 4 times a day. That is $4 billion every night shift or a trillion dollars in twenties in 50 weeks. He might have help inside the Pentagon with other black janitors bagging that much money in trash bags. On the weekends they distribute duffel bags of twenties to their relatives who come to Washington DC on tour buses with black drivers.

The FBI could easily catch this black man because he is obviously driving a custom built stretch limo with a very big trunk. But the FBI is so busy spying on you and me that they can’t be bothered with anything criminals in Washington DC are doing...........https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2020/01/23/the-black-man-did-it/
