The elite power configuration that controls America—what do they desire most for the average American citizen? Moronity. Christian fundamentalist kinds of irrationality. Dearth of freethinking. Citizens moved enough by words to ignore evidence, frightened enough to simply “Trust us.” A nation of consumers as easily and predictably manipulated as sheep into working hard and paying hard for their own demise while refusing to even imagine the ultimate sacrifice of America to gods of the New World Order. That’s about it, the rest is lies. Sometimes pretty lies, blinding we’re-number-one lies, trust-us lies. “Terrorists!” lies, and reassuring lies…but always, lies. Two thousand years ago, five centuries before the collapse of Rome, Tiberius Caesar announced, “I want my sheep shorn, not shaven.” In America, especially since the sheep have just been gored for another trillion dollars—this time to reward financial mavens for catastrophic economic effects of their sheer greed, virtually no taxpayer benefit, American shears have been covered with skin, blood, meat. The sheep are stirring. But the “Raiders”, First Brigade Combat Team of the Army’s Third Division, deployed on home soil as of October 1, have been specially trained to use the first-ever modular, nonlethal package of weapons the Army has fielded. Under command of US Army North, the Army’s component of NorthCom—the Pentagon’s northern command, which was created after 9/11 to defend the US “homeland”, the Raiders, in gross violation of posse comitatus, will aid local, state and federal authorities in crowd control. So the sheep might bleat and stir, but serious revolt—any meaningful kinds of protest granted as rights under the Constitution—are likely to face the new package of nonlethal weapons. 1st BCT’s Raiders are 4000 combat-seasoned troops fresh from three tours of duty in Iraq; an elite killing force deployed at home to subdue the unruly and dangerous without killing them. Unruly and dangerous, in “elite-speak” means anyone who cares enough about the scuttling of America to do something that might actually help…people who understand that in the horrors of the last eight years there have been no accidents. America is where it is by design. What is this new modular package of nonlethal weapons the Raiders will be employing; what might a protester experience if subjected to Raider kinds of crowd control? Microwaves to make their skin feel aflame. Lasers to scramble their vision. Ballistic beanbags to knock out their wind, or medium-range aluminum pellets for savage electric shocks. There’s radio frequency and acoustic weapons to vibrate their internal organs. Curdler units and squawk boxes to menace their brain through their ears…. With many of these new crowd control devices the line between nonlethal and lethal is a fine one—but who said citizens should be protesting in the first place? The Constitution has provisions for the people to save themselves from tyranny, from a government out of control. Founders of our Democratic Republic went to elaborate lengths to safeguard the people from government—and these were brilliant men, highly-educated intellectuals such as we so desperately need working for the common good. But the safeguards have been methodically gutted to “protect people from terrorists”—a sacrifice-of-freedom-for-safety subterfuge leading most insidiously toward criminalizing dissent. If you protest the way citizens must if a Democratic Republic is to be preserved, you can now be declared an enemy combatant…. The “peoples’” government finally, exclusively and ultimately belongs to the elite. Sure, the people just voted to choose a new leader, were pacified with illusions of a voice—even pacified with a “win”. But our new leader has long been property of the elite, chosen by the elite before the people even got a look at the goods. He owes the elite everything, owes the people nothing, and we are left holding a bag marked HOPE, and, CHANGE, hoping it is not empty. Perhaps the reason that the recent presidential “election” was not such an obvious exercise in GOP fraud as the two that installed this person as Commander In Chief is sheer raw power of the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, and Council On Foreign Relations variety. Ultimate, elite power that few Americans are even aware of. And regarding the new “nonlethal” package of weapons ready for deployment against Americans in America…as far back as 1970, importance of such technology was being touted, tools for the elites in managing a society that would become increasingly controlled and directed. While still a professor at Columbia University, future U.S. National Security Advisor under President Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was quoted as saying: This is the same Brzezinski who, along with David Rockefeller, created the Illuminati’s Trilateral Commission in 1973. Dedicated to a fascist dictatorship one world government, the Trilateral Commission is symbiotic with the Bilderberg Group, and the Council on Foreign Relations. The same Russian-hating Brzezinski who was often closeted during the Carter administration because of his nihilist “Dr. Strangelove” persona…same man who was back at Columbia a few years later as advisor for Obama’s senior thesis. Webster G. Tarpley’s new book, Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography includes much about the fairly closeted Obama/Brzezinski relationship; Endgame, Part One of Eric Larsen’s review of the book enhances the experience like cream to tea. At no time in American history have the people faced a challenge of such overwhelming magnitude. Menace from within jeopardizing the very remains of our Constitutional Republic, and at no time have Americans been less up to the challenge. Our two greatest assets are intelligence, and sheer numbers, in that order. We stand doomed, and in great majority, in that order—or so it seems. Neutralizing our numerical advantage is the playground of all the exotic new weapons; the dumbing down of America has been the most successful of federal programs. 
“Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it exploits.”

That is backward. The assets are sheer numbers and intelligence -- in that order, not in the one the author purports to be true.
It is now time for Atlas to shrug.
more from the article: For the people, on the other hand, three collective improvements seem crucial for Americans to have any hope of saving the Republic—of saving ourselves and any vital creative impulse: 1) Mass exposure of 9/11 truth through mass exposure of the actual evidence. Shine the exposed reality upon evil spawn of 9/11 such as the war on terror (permanent war), and mangling of the Constitution. Let the truth help burn from the American psyche the very concept: “Oh! They’d never do that!” In a pathocracy such as ours, there is virtually nothing they wouldn’t do…except for consistently telling the truth. ++++++++++++ i know many are defensive of Ron Paul on this matter, but his denying 911 truth during his campaign, imo, put an end to future mass exposure of it. there's no one else in government who could or will take up that platform.
“Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed on the situation it exploits.” I am confused. Mr. Clifford inserts a quote by Brzezinski which forthrightly warns of the same threat the writer purports to be the cause of his soiling himself .... then attempts to spin it 180?
BULLETIN! The election is over. We're up to our armpits in Bushshit. Howsbout we declare a moratorium on partisan sniping and address the crises that America faces? Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot I am not one of them. I see no sense in placing our trust in 1 person. It's just another personality cult, same as any other, even if I agree with him on practically everything else I read by him. 1 person is too easy to control. If we are to be effective as revolutionaries ;-) then we need to do it without depending on 1 person, no matter how tempting it is to believe he is a leader of the movement. Hopefully, people have learned that this movement is bigger than 1 person. We are all independent and reasonable adults, and we need no one to carry any kind of banner for us. None of us means any harm to those of like mind. Unlike the sheep, who totally depend on their bad shepherd who leadeth them to stagnant waters... They are the ones that will cause the harm to each other. JMO, .02, etc.

Unlike the sheep, who totally depend on their bad shepherd who leadeth them to stagnant waters... They are the ones that will cause the harm to each other. Well said.
