Obama Confidant's Spine-Chilling Proposal
posted 01/16/2010, 4:21 AM (Salon.com) [Category: Commentary] Cass Sunstein has long been one of Barack Obama's closest confidants. Often mentioned as a likely Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, Sunstein is currently Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs." In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-"independent" advocates to "cognitively infiltrate" online groups and websites -- as well as other activist groups -- which advocate views that Sunstein deems "false conspiracy theories" about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens' faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists. The paper's abstract can be read, and the full paper downloaded, here.
Sunstein advocates that the Government's stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups." He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called "independent" credible voices to bolster the Government's messaging (on the ground that those who don't believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government). This program would target those advocating false "conspiracy theories," which they define to mean: "an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role." Sunstein's 2008 paper was flagged by ... (more)

I highly recommend everyone read the comments in this post in order to understand "the emotional plague" in all its forms. It is important to recognize some people are genuinely insane, for any normal person it is extremely hard to relate to someone who is so diseased in the mind, it is very important to understand them though so that you can "inoculate" yourself against their true plague. These "types" are a thousand times greater threat than any "swine flu", and don't worry, protecting yourself from them doesn't require any toxic vaccine! ;) - Chris
The Educational System Was Designed to Keep Us Uneducated and Docile
posted 09/09/2009, 6:56 AM (The Memory Hole) [Category: Commentary] It's no secret that the US educational system doesn't do a very good job. Like clockwork, studies show that America's schoolkids lag behind their peers in pretty much every industrialized nation. We hear shocking statistics about the percentage of high-school seniors who can't find the US on an unmarked map of the world or who don't know who Abraham Lincoln was. Fingers are pointed at various aspects of the schooling system—overcrowded classrooms, lack of funding, teachers who can't pass co... (more)

InformationLiberation Analysis:
I saw some of this last night, it's the most insane predictive programming I have ever seen, they tell some fictionalized story of a woman's life in the future where the entire world is destroyed due to overpopulation, global warming and resource depletion.
The earth is a hellhole, the whole middle of the United States is an unlivable desert with no water, they tell a fictional story of a plague killing people en masse and how everyone has to be quarantined to fight it, the US is in total bedlam but NY and California are the only places you can live because they are "sustainable" cities.
The 'fictional' character who is telling the story speaks of how much 'hope' she gets from seeing all the solar technologies etc., as she is saying all this they have some musical interlude where they have Obama's voice speaking about how all the changes we made in the past saved us (in the shows present) etc. It really sounded like Obama actually personally recorded this in a studio just for this propaganda piece.
At the end they say how this whole disaster scenario is not set in stone, and how we can avert catastrophe (even though they made this whole thing up) if we only change our way of life and re-engineer our entire society through living "sustainably." What they don't tell you is something like air conditioning is not considered sustainable, eating meat is not considered sustainable, having appliances in your house is not sustainable, having suburban housing is not sustainable, driving a car or using any fossil fuels is not sustainable, these are all things globalist millionaires like Maurice Strong (who no doubt lives a life of poverty and chastity) feel must no longer be allowed to be used by those of us in the "affluent middle class."
We are talking about the total destruction of our entire way of life, turning the US into a literal third world dictatorship where the new crimes will be things like taking too many showers, using too much air conditioning, using too much heating, failing to recycle, throwing away too much trash, etc. If these people get their way it will be hell on earth, this propaganda is so dangerous it must be exposed for what it is.
Read the quotes of these top globalists below and ask yourself if this is a world you want to live in, if this is a world you want your children to live in, hell, ask yourself if you even want the freedom to have children, because they feel that is a liberty which can no longer be afforded to the general public, and they have no qualms voicing that is how they feel. They are trying to make this world a reality and they have literally trillions of dollars to spend to see that it is made this way. We cannot all just lay down and wait to die, this agenda must be fought and resisted by every thinking human being on the planet, they cannot change things without our acquiescence and compliance, the responsibility lies completely in the hands of the average person themselves to stop this agenda, you and I and all of us have the power to stop this through our noncompliance, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. - Chris, IL

Anticipations of The New Republic: The Vision of H.G. Wells
posted 03/14/2008, 12:57 AM (Old-Thinker News) [Category: Commentary] In 1901, when Herbert George Wells was around 35 years old, he wrote a book titled Anticipations: Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought. This work contains many of the same themes as his later 1928 book The Open Conspiracy, as he details the rise of the "New Republic", a system of world governance and scientific control.

"The only imaginable way of overcomingthese [sic] difficulties would be to set up a class of consultants who would prescribe what marriages were eugenically admissible and how large the consequent families should be. But this does not solve the difficulty; it only pushes it back a stage, for it leaves unanswered the question who are to be the consultants, and what principles are to guide them in settling the values of the different qualities of mankind. It comes back to just the
A Darwin's Look into The Next Million Years
posted 03/07/2008, 8:22 AM (Knowledge Driven Revolution) [Category: Commentary] Charles Galton Darwin's 1952 book The Next Million Years [1] attempts to give a general outline of the "future history" of mankind by using the "law of human nature". C.G. Darwin (1887-1962) was an English physicist and grandson of Charles Darwin of evolutionary fame. Despite being concerned about the over-population of the world he had four sons and one daughter with his wife Katharine Pember. The hypocrisy of this may seem odd, but the concern about over-population only refers to inf... (more)

The Year of Living Dangerously
posted 02/07/2008, 6:16 AM (Manuel Valenzuela) [Category: Commentary] Can you smell the smoked fumes of a discombobulated economic engine that has ceased to function, its synergy spitting and sputtering, its many parts thrashed by the claws, and vices, of neoliberal capitalism? Can you feel the dismantling of the economic spark plug, the American consumer, as our livelihoods are sacrificed to the greed, and incompetence, of the establishment and as the value of our lives is further enslaved to the Almighty Dollar and its puppet masters?
"If there is not to be an endless succession of wars, population will have to become stationary throughout the world, and this will probably have to be done, in many countries, as a result of governmental measures.

Marshall asked average soldiers how they conducted themselves in battle. Before that, it had always been assumed that the average soldier would kill in combat simply because his country and his leaders had told him to do so, and because it might be essential to defend his own life and the lives of his friends. Marshall’s singularly unexpected discovery was that, of every hundred men along the line of fire during the combat period, an averag... (more)
