The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance.— Thomas Paine
Dedicated To:
Jim Fetzer, Wolfgang Halbig, Monika Schaefer, Christopher Bollyn, Scott Creighton, Sofia Smallstorm, Kevin Barrett, David Ray Griffin, Penn Jones, Terrible Tim, Debbie Lusignan, Nicholas Kollerstrom, Ken O’Keefe, Dave McGowan, et. al
Also dedicated to those hundreds of people, in Biloxi, Baraboo, Barstow, Butte, Bancroft and Brooklyn, those people who, on Nov. 22, or Nov. 23, or Nov. 24, 1963, or sometime during the following week, on a long or short walk, or at the kitchen table pouring Froot Loops for the kids or for themselves – those first persons who sat upright in bed at 2:35 a.m. and said ...
“This is b******t.”
You know who you are.
The takeaway is that our real enemies conceal themselves by fabricating ersatz enemies and elevating them to mythic, iconic status. Their controlled mainstream media summon us daily to engage in the obligatory Orweillian two minutes of hate. When will we wake up and learn to hate not the cartoon figures on the screen, but the psychopath behind the curtain? ... On September 11th, 2001, only a minuscule fraction of Americans knew what a false flag was.
Today, the meme has spread.
When a “mass shooting” or “terrorist attack” happens, such as recent events in Paris and San Bernardino, millions of people immediately suspect ‘false flag.’
This growing public awareness is reflected in popular culture.

Somebody, after all, had to make a start.
What we wrote and said is also believed by many others.
They just don’t dare to express themselves as we did.
— Sophie Scholl, in The People’s Court
——
There are things out there we don’t understand.
Can’t understand. Could be the big guy, could be little green men, or just whatnot.
Proving to us we don’t know everything.
But that’s not important.
What’s important is ... a reasonable man, a sane man, a healthy man ... when he encounters the inexplicable ...
forgets about it.
— Maurice J. Minnifield
The mind of an American rules the world.
The President? Warren Buffett? Tiger Woods? Katie Couric? Jon Stewart? The Michelin Man?
No, stupid, it’s you.
You are king of the world, god, superman, King Midas, all that.
It’s you.
You are more than just a legend in your own mind.
You are The Man.
And when the CIA through the CIA propaganda machine called Radio Free Europe or the American Free Press tells you the Russians are coming or the criminals are coming or terrorists or the Iranians or Iraqis of Afghans on nuclear-powered blue donkeys or big bees, and you believe it — well, then, Zeke, that’s how the world will go.
You are powerful, the most powerful yahoo who has ever lived in the history of living.
And you are an idiot.
And the world is going to burn.
You are not an idiot-on-purpose, but an idiot none-the-less.
The CIA, the persons in the CIA are smart.
But they are evil.
The actual Evil Empire.
And they control you.
The most powerful person in the world.
If you were not an idiot they could not do that.
But you are an idiot.
And that’s a bummer, man.
That's bummer.
