I mean I knew that the squeeze was on to bring the public to the point where they cry out and revolt, but this is on a fast track that I did not see coming so soon. Keep in mind boys and girls they are causing the wincing and the fleecing of America, they want you to riot in the streets (look at all the legislation passed to keep America secure from with in and not from enemies without) so that they can get rid of those that want the freedom that there generations fought to provide them, and provide the solution to the ensuing chaos. Good people will be begging for the police state that they have waiting in the wings, they are fomenting the problems so as to have reasonable and ¨just cause¨ to implement the ¨solutions¨ they have all nicely ready to administer at the end of a gun barrel, taser and or any number of exotic weapons.

Rosa Brooks: the Pentagon’s far left adviser By: Nile Gardiner at Apr 16, 2009 In what has to be one of the most extreme appointments yet by the Obama Administration, ex-Los Angeles Times columnist and Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks has just been made an adviser to Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michelle Fluornoy - a move Brooks describes as "my personal government bailout." Bailout is certainly the right word for someone who appears to have no relevant national security qualifications for the position. She does though have experience working as Special Counsel for George Soros's Open Society Institute in New York, and as a former adviser to Harold Koh, the hugely controversial nominee for Legal Adviser to the State Department. Brooks' new boss Fluornoy holds one of the most powerful posts in the Pentagon, and is already playing a key role in shaping the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan as well as the wider war against al-Qaeda. She will also be a central figure in shaping U.S.-UK defence cooperation and Washington's policy towards NATO. As an adviser to Fluornoy, Brooks will wield an extraordinary degree of influence in helping shape U.S. policy. Her extreme views should therefore be closely scrutinized. Brooks' description of the previous occupant of the White House as "our torturer in chief" is hard to square with President Obama's call for bipartisanship. Nor is her ludicrous comparison of the Bush Administration's legal arguments on the war on terror with Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda. She has also accused civilian White House and Pentagon officials from the last administration of being "eager to embrace the values normally exemplified by military juntas," while urging "military personnel to speak out, regardless of the cost, when they think our civilian leaders have gone beyond the pale" - little more than an open-ended call for the politicization of the armed forces. Writing in the LA Times, Brooks has compared being a citizen in George W. Bush's America "to being a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver," and compared the Bush Administration ("our local authoritarians") to the leaders of North Korea or Iran. Quite what Defense Secretary Robert Gates makes of all this hate-filled talk remains to be seen, especially as he is himself a former Bush official. Brooks, a fierce opponent of the Iraq War, mocked the White House's "desperate flailing" and arguably belittled U.S. sacrifices in Iraq in a sarcastic 2006 piece she wrote at the height of attacks on Allied forces by al-Qaeda backed insurgents. She condescendingly noted in her article that "it's a good thing our troops have The Google over there - like Bush, they can use Google maps to recall how their hometowns look and wonder if they're going to make it back before this administration sends them on any more misconceived missions." She further argued that "with so many thousands dead, and so many thousands more embittered, 'winning' isn't really on the table anymore. The only question now is whether we can mitigate the damage." Let's hope this is isn't the kind of advice the new administration takes on for the war in Afghanistan. In fact it is hard to think of a more inappropriate political appointment at a time when America needs a hard-headed approach to winning a global war instead of defeatist, far-left rhetoric.

III Olden Days: Many independent news papers. People can learn about the world and how it operates. Early 20th Century: CFR consolidates news media. People are limited to shadow-goverment controlled stories and information. Late 20th Century: Internet is born. A tidal wave of unreported truth washes over the People. Mainstream controlled media (MSM) is rapidly abandoned. Today: The Establishment, their grip on public awareness slipping and their media dying, scrambles desperately for a way to regain control over the minds of the public.
