As a daily lover of Christ, with roots that run deep in my passion for scripture, I sit today every bit in dissolution of America’s Church’s as I imagine many German men must have felt in 1935. In that time all reports indicated that 70% of the German Population was Christians, broken down into a majority Protestant, and Catholic. Today in America the number of Christians is estimated at 80%, with so many different denominations that it would take a thousand words to list them. In 1932 Ludwig Mueller who was an Army Chaplin and later became a church director for the German Christians faith movement, made statements such as “The German Christians ardently support the Nazi doctrines of race and leadership principle, and should be applied to a Reich Church which would bring together all Protestants into one all-embracing body.” The vast majority of Protestants in 1933 sat on the fence and where to timid to say anything against the rise of Hitler. Their silence eventually landed them in the arms of Hiiler, accepting his authority to intervene in chuch affairs and obeying his commands without open protest. (pg, 235-236 The rise and fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer)

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

In the spring of 1938 Bishop Marahrens took the final step of ordering all pastors in his diocese to swear a personal oath of allegiance to the Fuehrer.  In a short time the vast majority of Protestant clergyman took the oath, thus binding themselves legally and morally to obey the commands of the dictator.  (pg 239 The rise and fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer).

I am not intending to bash protestants here, I can tell you how Pope Pius XII signed the “concordat” between the Vatican and German Government in which the “Church had the right to regulate its own affairs.  Five days after the signing of the document Hitler moved to dissolve the Catholic Youth League, and the Vatican did nothing. The point is that in a country of 60 million people in which 48 million where Christians it is documented only 807 Christian Pastors or Writers by 1938 were arrested by various Nazi SS and SA troops for “speaking out, and abusing their pulpits” against the Nazi Government. Do the math, that is less than 0.01% of Christians that actually stood up and spoke against socialism, racism, and totalitarianism during the rise of Hitler in German.

What Jesus Loving Christians either in the Churches or Writers are speaking out about the Oligarchy Totalitarian Police State of America now. I can think of a few besides me, Alex Jones, Pastor Chuck Baldwin, Pastor John Hagee, and I am sure few others, but WHERE ARE THE CHURCHES? Where are the Pastor’s talking about the military police takeover of Boston? Where are the Pastor’s speaking about the violence in Chicago? Where are the Pastor’s talking about the governments 17 Trillion dollars of debt, America Suicide rates, the American Military killing thousands of innocents across world in the name of what.

Abortion, GMO crops, Vaccinations, or how about America housing 25% of the world’s prison population while only having 5% of the entire worlds population. War on drugs, and a war on terror that LASTS FOREVER.

I know the answer to my questions, but do you.

I know why the Churches are silent, but do you.

I know why the few of us whom speak out with the name of Jesus will soon be silenced, but do you.

Let us think a bit. Suicide is now the highest cause of death caused by an incident in America, but yet the Lakers are out of the playoffs. Suicide is the greatest cause of death in the American military but World War Z is set to be released in the theaters. Martial Law was just declared in a major American city, but Michelle Obama looked sexy according to some at the White House Correspondence dinner. Major cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oakland have higher crime rates then “third word” countries such as Mexico and Zimbabwe, but the housing market and economy is recovering.

How can we be living during a times of such disconnect with reality? Easy, most people are living in different ones.  We know how this goes, one reality that about 10% live in which the global elite are controlling the world through their banks, armies, media, and politicians, with a plan of world domination, population reduction, more wars, and enslavement of all. The other 90% living in the “American Dream”, in which they believe home ownership is good, the government keeps them safe, and the main steam media is the news,  NO MATTER WHAT EVIDENCE you show them to the contrary.

What has helped the 10% grip truth and 90% not? Perhaps something as simple as a bottom.  No not that sexy looking ass I have pictured! A bottom in which the events of your life come crashing down on you seemingly out of your control, that cause you to step back and DECIDE to change the way you are living.  Another words, hitting a bottom.

How does a bottom come about? Do we wake up one day and say, “today is a good day for my world to get rocked, I am going to quit all my sin, and start to live a life a godly life”. Well, you may say it, but within 30 minutes you are lighting up a smoke, popping your Prozac, turning on the TV, and slurping down your GMO laced Starbuck Latte. Around noon you realize, “Hey I was going to be a good person today, maybe tomorrow”, as you have your second martini lunch, and slip 100 buck’s up the panties of your “date”.

I have had a revelation over the past few weeks as I have been continuing my thought process on why are American’s not waking up. What more do they have to see to say, okay, lets get the revolution going. I think we will only see any change when more people hit bottoms in their lives, and I believe IT IS ONLY WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER, that a bottom can be achieved.

Think about how many times in your life you say, you are going to quit something, stop eating so much, change your life, or have that New Year’s resolution. How long does it last? In fact for most how many hours does your proclamation last. Is it any different for waking up from your propaganda coma called the American Dream. I would guess millions of people over the past year have paused when watching a CNN news story and said to themselves, “no way, that has to be bullshit”, but yet within 30 seconds their brain has moved onto whatever is easier, softer, why would you want to actually believe that people are lying to you. It means you would need to start to research, change you life, spend time away from your fantasy life, in which of course all your friends live in, so for sure you can’t rock that boat.

“It is only when you lose everything that you are free to do anything”. Tyler Durden‘s alter ego speaking to Tyler Durden

“I will replace your screaming bitching Mother that brought you into this world”! Slave Master to Maximus

“It is time to throw away your old clothes of the ranger and become the man you were destined to be”. Gandalf to Stryder

Some great writers have had the revelation that I am coming to before I did, but it is with their help that I am realizing it. In my own life I hit one VERY HARD Bottom, that was 100% caused by the action of a wife betraying me. Lord knows at that time I did not want to make changes in my life and I considered her the anti-christ, as did those who understood the true story of what she did. However it was ONLY WITH THE ACTION OF ANOTHER that I hit a bottom, and today am part of the 10% that gets the real world. In the four movie quotes above something similar happened to those characters that where just living out their meaningless lives like the 90% of Americans today, until ANOTHER PERSON brought about their own bottoms.  From that point their entire view of the world and course of their lives changed direction.

I am not sure what this understanding is going to bring in the future.  Maybe instead of us in the know spending endless time trying to wake people up through words and facts we need to try a different approach.  Maybe we need to start “mentoring” others and helping them find a bottom, even if it means that we are the one to cause it. A bottom, not a piece of ass, but a life changing event brought about by another is what this country just might need right now, maybe starting with your neighbor.

Did you read this article because of the word’s or the pictures?

The 14% slide in the S&P 500 Homebuilding index from the March cycle highs may be telling US not to hold our breath over a near-term turnaround, either (the group is actually no higher now than it was in mid-October1). And the housing indicators are part of a bigger picture of a sharp slowing in the pace of overall economic activity. Consider that three months ago, 65% of the incoming economic data were coming in better than consensus views. Two months ego, that share of ‘beats” came down to 47%. And in the past month, the share of economic data surprising the consensus to the high side has fallen to a mere 36%.

• Household employment (-206k in March. the steepest decline in well over a year).
• Real retail sales (-0.3% in March, down for the second time in three months).
• Manufacturing production (-0.1% and also down in two of the past three months).
• Core capex orders (-3.2% in February, and again, down in two of the past three months).
• Single-family housing starts (-4.8% in March and negative for two of the past three months as well.
• New home sales (-4.6% in February).
• Philly Fed for April down to 1.3 from 2.0.
• NY Fed Empire manufacturing index down to 3_05 from 9.24.
• NAHB Housing Market index down to a six-month low of 42 in April from 44.
• Conference Board consumer confidence index down to 59.7 in March from 88.
• University of Michigan consumer sentiment down to 72.3 for April from 78.6, the lowest in over a year.
• Conference Board leading indicators down 0.1% in March, first decline in seven months.

Hundreds of us awake have been attempting repeatedly to wake those not awake up, no matter how angry or resistant they want to stay in their coma’s. Perhaps this information below will help, or not.

James Altucher published an incredible article the other day entitled “Why Do People Hate Their Jobs?“  It did a great job of describing what life is like for the modern worker in America.  The following are a few of the reasons that he says people tend to hate their jobs…

-Jobs are modern-day slavery. We are paid just enough to live and not more. You are punished if you ask for more.

*****

-We are often verbally abused on the job and we take it because we think it’s normal that people would yell at us.

*****

-The government gets up to 50% of your paycheck and then 10-20% of that goes to kill people on other parts of the planet, including our own children.

*****

-From 7am to 7pm you are either A) going to work, B) at work, or C) coming back from work. Hence, the times when you can be most creative are garbage-compacted into your cubicle.

*****

-When you are paranoid at a job, you are probably correct. THEY are, in fact, talking about you and backstabbing you right now.

*****

-You realize that all the dollars you spent on degrees to get you a job that will make you happy were completely wasted. You were scammed but you can’t let the next generation know how stupid you were so now you become part of perpetuating the scam.

*****

-Your spouse is tired of hearing about your job after six months. And you couldn’t care less about hers. Ten years later you wake up next to a total stranger. 40 years later you die next to one.

*****

-When you were a kid you liked to draw, and read, and run, and laugh, and play, and imagine a magical world. You’re never going to do any of that again.

*****

-Over time everyone is getting fired and being replaced by younger, cheaper, more temporary, more robotic, versions of you. You see this but are afraid to do anything about it.

 

The following summation of additional statistics that should blow you away comes from Michael Snyder. Of course when we get home from work there is even more stress.  In America today, we are witnessing a breakdown of the family unlike anything we have ever seen before.  The United States leads the world in divorce and in single person households.  We are having an increasingly difficult time relating to one another, and many of us drown our sorrows in our addictions.  We are addicted to pills, to alcohol, to food, to entertainment, to sex, to gambling, to shopping and to anything else that will make us feel good and forget about our problems for a while.

The following is a collection of facts and statistics that prove that America is being absolutely consumed by fear, stress, anger and depression…

-Suicide has now actually surpassed car accidents as the number one cause of “injury death” in the United States.

-More U.S. soldiers killed themselves than were killed in combat last year.

-As I mentioned in another article, Americans will spend more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs during 2013.

-Nearly one out of every four women in the United States are taking antidepressants.

-The percentage of women taking antidepressants in the U.S. is higher than in any other country in the world.

-In 2010, the average teen in the U.S. was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs.  Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression.

-Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are.

-According to a recent article by David Kupelian, “one-third of the nation’s employees suffer chronic debilitating stress, and more than half of all ‘millennials’ (18 to 33 year olds) experience a level of stress that keeps them awake at night, including large numbers diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder.”

-Tens of millions of Americans use alcohol and drugs to numb the pain that they are experiencing.  In the United States today, there are about 28 million Americans with a drinking problem and about22 million Americans use illegal drugs.

-More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

-There are also tens of millions of Americans that try to deal with anxiety and stress by eating.  Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

-Back in 1962, only 13 percent of all Americans were obese.  Today, approximately 36 percent of all Americans are obese.

-Many people try to escape from the pain of reality by getting lost in entertainment.  Incredibly, the United States is tied with the UK for the highest average number of hours spent watching television each week.

-The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

-The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

-According to the Pew Research Center, only 51 percent of all American adults are currently married.  Back in 1960, 72 percent of all adults in the United States were married.

-At this point, approximately one out of every three children in America lives in a home without a father.

-For women under the age of 30 living in the United States today,more than half of all babies are being born out of wedlock.

-The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the developed world.

-In the United States today, it is estimated that one out of every four girls is sexually abused before they become adults.

-The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by a very wide margin.

-The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

-If you can believe it, there are 20 million new STD infections in the United States every single year.

-The U.S. has the highest STD infection rate in the entire industrialized world.

-It is estimated that about one out of every six Americans between the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes.

-Sadly, one out of every four teen girls in the U.S. has at least one sexually transmitted disease.

-The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

-Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

-Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

-America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a very wide margin.

Imagine taking this information and reading it during the public comment period at your city council meeting, or perhaps on the street corners of America. Is it time to rise up, and get out off the couch for the country? Would that even make a difference, I don’t know, but I can tell you clearly America has turned into a fallen nation, and we only have to look into the mirror to see the culprit.

Test yourself truly. As you witnessed in a manner of hours a town of 60,000 people with a surrounding population of 1 million was locked down into Martial Law. There was no warning, Would you just let them in? Would you have been able to leave on foot, car, or just sat their with your food, water, gear, and silver and said hello when they knock on your door. Is your grab and go pack ready?

My fellow survivalists, one of the most important parts of survival plan has to be your survival map. You need to be able to MOVE ON A MOMENTS NOTICE, to alternative locations, and have those locations prepared ahead of time. Not only a place or places to go, BUT DIFFERENT ROUTES to get there. Do you think taking main street onto main highway is a smart plan.  You need to know streams, creeks, sewer systems, back roads, unused railroad lines, trails, fire roads, and bike paths.

This is coming to your town soon, I guarantee it! Are you ready?

American Silver Eagle (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

For the past two weeks we have watched the SPOT price of Gold and Silver fall off the map.  Many experts have come out and provided you the explanation as to why this happened, so I won’t spend time on that.  What I want to tell you is that now TWO market’s have materialized if you are looking to buy and take delivery of the actual metal.

I am going to use the website Bullion Direct as my examples, but this same scenario is happening through all brokers.

About 7 days ago Silver was spot price at $24.00 per ounce range. They were selling .999 Bullion Coins or Bars at $25.35 per ounce, I know this because I have been buying. I was also buying Canadian Maple Leafs at $25.95 per ounce.

Look at today’s pricing with the spot price at $23.33 per ounce.

Do you see what is happening?

The spread, (difference between spot and ask) has grown to over $2.00 per ounce for basic silver bullion, and a whopping $4.00 per ounce for maple leafs.  If you look at the American silver eagles it is now over $5.00 per ounce spread.

THEY ARE DELAYED AS WELL!

In my five years of writing and acquiring silver I have NEVER seen the orders and shipments delayed at Bullion Direct.

As I predicted about two years ago two markets are now materializing.  One which of course the main stream media will hammer to you which is the PAPER bullion markets where trillions of contracts and phony boloney are traded by computers, and THE REAL bullion markets where the actual metals are taken delivery of. You should care about the real one if you are acquiring the metals for the right reasons, because that is the value you will use as a baseline when the shit hits the fan in America.

Also remember my second prediction 500 ounces of silver bullion will soon buy you a house in America.  Not a down payment, BUT WILL BUY YOU THE HOUSE, and the land, with no mortgage.  That day is coming soon.

WOW!!

First they came for the communist, and I did nothing because I was not a communist, then they came for the social democrats, and I did nothing because I was not a social democrat, then they came for the Jews and I did nothing because I was not a Jew, then they came for me, and there was no one left to help me! We have watched two people “framed as suspects” by the FBI, posted by the media as enemies of the state, an entire city placed into Martial Law, and then finally captured, with the result being not an arrest, but a killing of one, and a imprisonment of the other into the hands of the military.

98 people killed and 700 injured in Iraq by bombs over the past 5 days, do we care? Do we have responsibility for destroying the country? Or do we just endlessly watch our country descend into a police state and applaud?

Do you think as an American citizen you are considered innocent until PROVEN GUILTY in a COURT OF Law with a jury of your peers.Do you are entitled to not speak to authorities, and have legal representation when arrested for any crime? Is that what you believe? Because you are now watching what I and others have been warning all of you about, executive orders and laws such as the NDAA have STRIP you of your rights if any government agency deems so.

This will be the narrative in the main stream media today. Terrorism is back, only an increased police and military presence will keep you safe, it was key for a citizen to “rat” to the police his concern about his boat cover, and ALL citizens love the police state with endless clips of citizens clapping, along with the president telling us what a great leader he is. Sound Right?

Martial Law declared to capture this “Suspect”. Think about that thousands will be killed by negligent drivers, thousands killed by gangs, heck hundreds killed by their own spouses every year in America but do we declare Martial Law to capture those, “Suspects”?

Think about our current justice system. The media puts your photo up and tells people you are a suspect in a crime. The police tell everyone you are a being hunted, and then you are dead. Have we not seen this in a movie before?

IF you watch American main stream media you get one story, if you watch ANY other nations coverage of America, it is QUITE DIFFERENT!

Over 15 photos of different guys with GEIGER COUNTERS running at the Boston bombing. Ya think someone was not ready for that event to be nuclear?

Over 50 Main Stream media outlets, (all controlled by 5 mega corporations) where staged at the Boston Courthouse yesterday afternoon. How many of them reported the courthouse was “Evacuated because of a bomb threat”. Friends you MUST understand the gravity of this moment.

How many interviews are we getting from people coming out the hospital, what about all those VERY credible interviews after the blast with them quoting “We were told that there was a false bombing scenario happening so not to worry.”

What a day for those yesterday that were on the fence if government is really evil, and the media works with them. Just think about CNN complete falling about and utter chaos in reporting. Today we still have no suspects identified by the media. Want to know why. Their plans have been exploited, by those whom are doing everything to try and get people to wake up.

I think that is enough for now.

Let me show a couple clips of our Department of Homeland Security “leader” Janet Napalitano.

If I can just get one thing across to you and to those you are trying to wake up it is this.  To have a Department of Homeland Security you have to have a perceived threat to the homeland. You create a threat by programming the public to, planting seeds in the brain, that a certain type of danger exists.  Then magically something happens that is similar to the programming that has been set up before hand.  Before long the majority of the population believes every word the media tells them coming from the government because subliminally your brain is telling you that the government can see the future, is a prophet, because they warned us of the danger, and then it happened.

You were programmed before the Boston Bombing, and for whatever the next event will be.

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon attack, with authorities struggling to retain a coherent official narrative in the face of photos which show numerous unidentified identically dressed men wearing black backpacks at the scene of the blast, it’s necessary to revisit the evidence of why government should be the very first suspect in the event of any terrorist atrocity.

False flag terrorism – attacks manufactured or provocateured by governments and then blamed on other groups – is a tactic that stretches back almost 2,000 years.

Nero and the Great Fire of Rome

The Roman consul and historian Cassius Dio, his contemporary Suetonius and others say the Emperor Nero was responsible for the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD.

Legend claims Nero had one-third of the city torched as an excuse to build Domus Aurea, a 300 acre palatial complex that included a towering statue of himself, the Colossus of Nero.

Prior to the fire, the Roman Senate had rejected the emperor’s bid to level a third of the city to make way for a ‘Neropolis,’ an urban renewal project.

The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that when the population of Rome held Nero responsible for the fire, he shifted blame on the Christians for ‘hating the human race’  and starting the fire.

The Spanish American War: Remember the Maine

By the late 1800s, the United States was looking for an excuse to kick Spain out of Cuba. U.S. business was heavily invested in sugar, tobacco and iron on the Caribbean island.

The U.S.S. Maine was sent to Havana in January of 1898 to protect these business interests after a local insurrection broke out. Three weeks later, early on the morning of February 15, an explosion destroyed the forward third of the ship anchored in Havana’s harbor, killing more than 270 American sailors.

President McKinley blamed Spain after the U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry declared that a naval mine caused the explosion.

American newspapers blamed the Spanish despite a lack of evidence. “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war,”  newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst told Frederic Remington after the illustrator reported that the situation in Cuba did not warrant invasion.

A number of historians and researchers later argued that the ship was blown up by the United States to provide a false flag pretext to invade Cuba and expel Spain.

The United States occupied Cuba from 1898 until 1902, although an amendment to a joint resolution of Congress forbid the U.S. to annex the country.

Wilson’s Pretext for War: The Sinking of the Lusitania

Nearly two thousand travelers, including one hundred Americans, were killed on May 7, 1915, when a German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania, a luxury Cunard Line British ocean liner.

Prior to the sinking, the German embassy in Washington issued a warning. Newspapers in the United States refused to print the warning or acknowledge the German claim that the ship carried munitions.

Wilson’s government issued a flurry of diplomatic protests after the sinking and exploited the tragedy two years later as a pretext for America to enter the First World War.

Nearly a hundred years later, in 2008, divers discovered the Lusitania carried more than four million rounds of rifle ammunition.

“There were literally tons and tons of stuff stored in unrefrigerated cargo holds that were dubiously marked cheese, butter and oysters,” Gregg Bemis, an American businessman who owns the rights to the wreck and is funding its exploration, told The Daily Mail.

Hitler’s Fascist Dictatorship: The Reichstag Fire

In February of 1933, a month after convincing Germany’s president that parliament must be eliminated, Hitler and the Nazis instigated the Reichstag fire.

Hitler then urged president Hindenburg to issue an emergency decree restricting personal liberty, including the right to free expression and a free press, limitations on the rights of association and assembly, warrantless searches of homes, property confiscation, and violations of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

The Nazis used the decree to crack down on their political opponents . They worked behind the scenes to force through the Enabling Act, which legally allowed Hitler to obtain plenary powers and establish a dictatorship.

Gestapo Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring would admit that, “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Prelude to World War: The Gleiwitz Incident

Six years after the Reichstag Fire, the Nazis staged the Gleiwitz incident. Nazi commandos raided a German radio station in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany. The raid was part of Operation Himmler, a series of operations undertaken by the SS as Hitler set the stage for the invasion of Poland and the start of the Second World War.

SS operatives dressed in Polish uniforms attacked the radio station, broadcast an anti-German message in Polish, and left behind the body of a German Silesian known for sympathizing with the Poles. The corpse was then offered to the press as evidence that the Poles had attacked the radio station.

Israeli False Flag Terror: The Lavon Affair

In 1954, the Israelis activated a terrorist cell in response to the United States making friends with the Egyptian government and its pan-Arab leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Israelis were worried Nasser would nationalize the Suez Canal and continue Egypt’s blockade of Israeli shipping through the canal.

Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion decided a false flag terrorist attack on American interests in Egypt would sour the new relationship. He recruited and dispatched a terror cell that pretended to be Egyptian terrorists.

The plan, however, contained a fatal flaw. Israel’s top secret cell, Unit 131, was infiltrated by Egyptian intelligence. After a member of the cell was arrested and interrogated, he revealed the plot and this led to more arrests. Israeli agents were subjected to a public trial revealing details of the plan to firebomb the U.S. Information Agency’s libraries, a British-owned Metro-Goldwyn Mayer theatre, a railway terminal, the central post office, and other targets.

In order to deflect blame, the Israeli government tried to frame its own Defense Minister, Pinhas Lavon, but the true nature of the plot was eventually made public.

Operation Northwoods: Targeting American Citizens

In the covert war against the communist regime in Cuba under the CIA’s Operation Mongoose, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously proposed state-sponsored acts of terrorism in side the United States.

The plan included shooting down hijacked American airplanes, the sinking of U.S. ships, and the shooting of Americans on the streets of Washington, D.C. The outrageous plan even included a staged NASA disaster that would claim the life of astronaut John Glenn.

Reeling under the embarrassing failure of the CIA’s botched Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, president Kennedy rejected the plan in March of 1962. A few months later, Kennedy denied the plan’s author, General Lyman Lemnitzer, a second term as the nation’s highest ranking military officer.

In November of 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

Gulf of Tonkin: Phantom Attack on the U.S. Military

On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson went on national television and told the nation that North Vietnam had attacked U.S. ships.

“Repeated acts of violence against the armed forces of the United States must be met not only with alert defense, but with a positive reply. That reply is being given as I speak tonight,” Johnson declared.

Congress soon passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which provided Johnson with pre-approved authority to conduct military operations against North Vietnam. By 1969, over 500,000 troops were fighting in Southeast Asia.

Johnson and his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, had bamboozled Congress and the American people. In fact, North Vietnam had not attacked the USS Maddox, as the Pentagon claimed, and the “unequivocal proof” of an “unprovoked” second attack against the U.S. warship was a ruse.

Operation Gladio: State Sponsored Terror Blamed on the Left

Following the Second World War, the CIA and Britain’s MI6 collaborated through NATO on Operation Gladio, an effort to create a “stay behind army” to fight communism in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Gladio quickly transcended its original mission and became a covert terror network consisting of right wing militias, organized crime elements, agent provocateurs and secret military units. The so-called stay behind armies were active in France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and Switzerland.

Gladio’s “Strategy of Tension”  was designed to portray leftist political groups in Europe as terrorists and frighten the populace into voting for authoritarian governments. In order to carry out this goal, Gladio operatives conducted a number of deadly terrorists attacks that were blamed on leftists and Marxists.

In August of 1980, Gladio operatives bombed a train station in Bologna, killing 85 people. Initially blamed on the Red Brigades, it was later discovered that fascist elements within the Italian secret police and Licio Gelli, the head of the P2 Masonic Lodge, were responsible for the terror attack. Other fascist groups, including Avanguardia Nazionale and Ordine Nuovo, were mobilized and engaged in terror.

Operation Gladio ultimately claimed the lives of hundreds of people across Europe.

According to Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a Gladio terrorist serving a life-sentence for murdering policemen, the reason for Gladio was simple. It was designed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened.

Terror in the modern age

In the United States, the modern age of terrorism is defined by the FBI’s policy of fomenting and provocateuring patsy terrorists to carry out attacks via entrapment.

As the New York Times reported last year, the vast majority of domestic terror plots in recent years were “facilitated by the F.B.I.”

The most infamous case of the FBI steering a terror plot was the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Before the attack, the FBI planted informant Emad A. Salem within a radical Arab group in New York led by Ramzi Yousef. Salem was ordered to encourage the group to carry out a bombing targeting the World Trade Center’s twin towers. Under the illusion that the project was a sting operation, Salem asked the FBI for harmless dummy explosives which he would use to assemble the bomb and then pass on to the group.

The following is from ABC News:

The city of Watertown, Mass., has been effectively shut down as a manhunt is underway for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

Residents were awakened overnight by heavy police presence and a dramatic shootout in Watertown that ended with the death of one of the Boston marathon bombing suspects while the second is still on the loose.

Officials say the suspects had hijacked a car in Cambridge, Mass., and drove to Watertown while being pursued by police.

Authorities used a news conference, robo-calls and Twitter to tell residents to shelter in place.

“Residents of Watertown asked to stay indoors,” the Boston Police Department tweeted. “Do not answer door unless instructed by a police officer.”

Public transportation has been suspended and authorities told people at closed stops and stations to go home. No vehicle traffic is allowed in Watertown. A no-fly zone is in place over the city.

“We are asking you to stay home, stay indoors,” police said at a news conference this morning. “We are asking businesses not to open. We are asking people not to congregate outside. We’re asking people not to go to mass transit.”

Watertown is about eight miles west of Boston and has a population of about 32,000.

A total of 250,000 people told to hide and lock themselves in their house. No children to school, and only trust the police and military units for your safety. Police have used a cordon and search tactic of going door to door.  They have been assisted by the main stream media in telling people to essential wait for orders from authorities.

In America the land of the free and home of the brave, today shows how far we have fallen.  One 19 year old person, whom looks like I could easily take out with my training, has taught the nation that you must obey government only, stop your life, and cower in fear. Look at the picture of THE TERRORIST. Does this person put fear in you if you wear armed, and trained on how to handle yourself.  Or does the government and the media put fear in you.

This is all predicated on a false belief that the FBI is telling us he is a suspect, which of course will not end well for him, because they will not want him to talk.

Enjoy your freedoms America, this smells like a further testing drill to see how far they can go to take away your rights, and it seems to be working.  What next, lock down of all major cities, a state, or a nation.

“How can our children sleep at night knowing a crock pot could blow up in the kitchen!” Congressman Guidilupe yelled.

“Those evil self-radicalized homegrown terrorist will use anything to kill us all!” Chairman Buckhold asserted.

“First we took all their guns now we must take their crock pots! We must do this for the children!” Asserted Congresswoman Miller.

And so it went, congressman after congresswoman lashing out against all things crock pot and homegrown. With a vote of 425 to 10 the bill was passed to ban all crock pots in the United States, and to set up the department of Anti Self Radicalization to use the full power of the American government to stop all future crock pot terrorist activities in the future. The bill also banned pressure cookers, blenders and toasters.

“We will never let these home grown self radicalized white men win!”, said Congresswoman Sellzy.

Iceland: Kick the bankster’s out

Throughout history the solutions to the bankster has been simple, remove them from your society.  Now that has happened many ways. In Roman times Jesus chased them out with a stick. In France Napoleon dealt with them with the guillotine in the public square. In the American Revolution the solution was armed resistance to be able to then coin their own money without a central bank or bankster. In Iceland as the banksters where demanding austerity from their citizens to pay them money for debts they had not incurred but had been hoisted on them by the European Union, the people said, “GET THE FUCK OUT”! Believe it or not, they did. Here is a news story that published two weeks ago in the news.com.au

ICELAND’S authorities are preparing to charge former top bankers for causing the nation’s financial system to collapse in 2008, local media reported.

The country’s prosecutor will announce in the coming days charges against more than a dozen former top bankers, public radio and television RUV and the Frettabladid newspaper reported.

Iceland’s banks went on an international buying binge in the early 2000s fuelled by cheap foreign loans.

But the collapse of the US investment bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008 froze credit markets and Iceland’s banks quickly collapsed, plunging the island nation’s economy into a deep recession.

Prosecutors will pursue six former executives of Landsbanki for manipulating the bank’s share price by lending funds to investors on condition they buy shares, the reports said.

Nine former executives of Kaupthing will also face charges for various schemes to manipulate the share price of what was then the nation’s top bank.The former chief executives of both banks will be among those charged, according to the reports.Iceland’s then prime minister Geir Haarde was last year found guilty of one minor charge but cleared of serious accusations relating to his handling of the banking collapse.

Mr Haarde has argued the government’s choice to let the banks fail and repudiate their foreign debts saved the country from bankruptcy.

What you should notice here is that the elected government officials working with government attorneys and bureaucrats all joined the people in naming the bankster’s as criminals and forcing them out through the courts with Judges that agreed. For that to work in America we would need President Obama and a majority in congress to work with Eric Holder to bring charges against the “to big to fail” banks that our government has already given TRILLIONS of dollars of tax payers money to. They would need to demand them to pay back all the fraud, and ask them to leave the country, along with our Federal Reserve Bank.

What do you think the odds of this happening in America?

Peter Joseph via the Zeitgeist films, The Venus Project 

To understand this solution one needs to watch these videos.  After watching this video head over to the website, www.thevenusproject.com.

As I have gained years of age and more and more wisdom I continue to review this solution as possible. There is a big difference between possible and acceptable. On one hand I beleive that Peter Joseph, Jacque Fresco and all involved with Zeitgeist should be applauded and respected for the amazing amount of research and work they have put into the movies, and their Venus project. If our schools actually wanted to teach our children the movies should be required viewing for every 7th, 8th and 9th grader. There is a BIG part of me that wants to embrace their utopian world that is set up in the Venus Project. I want to believe that machinery and computers are the answers to what ill’s us. In fact I like the thought of “disconnecting” from current society and living in a bubble. However, who has watched the movie the Hunger Games? I am not suggesting that those living in the Venus “bubble” will end up like the “strange” citizens of those living in the Hunger Games bubble in Zone 13. However what government currently will ever except more than one “experimental Venus city” in their country. They will not, because it would be a threat to their power and global government.  Therefore if we choose to commit to the Venus Project we choose to limit our lives to one small environment, that may be tons better than our current, but you will be forced to never leave the city.

My opinion and thoughts on this might change over time.  I think that as America descends into complete collapse a version of the Venus Project will be set up in the American redoubt, at first for survival, and later to help establish a new society.

Thrive movement

Here again you need to start by watching this video:

Of course then head over to this website; http://www.thrivemovement.com/

Boy, this is a great movie with a very similar theme as Zeitgeist. Government, Corporations, Religions, and Institutions are the problem with man, they must be removed, and a NEW FORM OF ENERGY will fix everything. When you watch the first hour of the movie it is inspiring for sure. The second hour is like listening to Alex Jones, and I congratulate the producers for actually stating the problems accurately. The difference in the solution from Zeitgeist is that Thrive wants to set up small groups throughout the world, educating people on the problem, and then discussing solutions. If you head over to there website they claim over 300 groups in America alone have begun. I do not mean to minimize Foster Gamble and his team.  I wish that a new form of energy would fix what ill’s the world, it WON’T. Does anyone think that those in power with guns are going to let this movement gain in size and scope taking from them their main source of money and power, oil and electricity.  Of course not, what will happen is government will get its hands on the members list, and then place those names on the “terrorist list” or some other document to use in the future to round these people up first and imprison. Sorry, I am just being honest on my opinions.

Prepare and Relocate

Faith&Survival’s solution, since founding has been prepare, educate, wake others up, and get ready to try and survive the collapse. Still seems like the best solution from my perspective right now. I know that many view this as “giving up”. I challenge you that we have already fallen as a nation, what we are living in now is the final desperate throws of a beast that has been fatally injured, in a matter of time it will die.  When America finally dies it will not be pretty, but those whom see the truth will spend what time we have left preparing themselves and loved ones to have a chance of surviving the final fall. Then being awake and aware enough to lead back a new America, one based on liberty, self reliance, and individual rights.

Armed Civil War and Revolution

Okay, it worked for George Washington, why not modern man. Because George Washington’s citizens were not drinking fluoridated water, popping Prozac like candy, breathing chem trailed air, and not eating GMO food.  Today if a leader emerged that would have the abilities of George Washington how could that leader ever build a militia and military to prepare for civil war and revolution. The cold hard fact is he could not. With modern technology and systems of surveillance in days he would be black bagged, and imprisoned for life without anyone knowing where he went. In America today, there are hundreds of men like me who have tried to organize the public into groups to at least start waking them up.  It is a WHOLE different issue to then try and arm, train and prepare them for armed revolution against the most powerful military every known to man. George Washington did not have the main stream media that would have beamed into every persons house telling them he was a terrorist and showing how he had twenty different wives and was a satanist.  That is an example of what could happen to anyone rising up to lead a 21st century American Revolution.

Solutions, I will keep looking, researching, thinking, and praying, but I am here to tell you, difficult times ahead we face.

It seems as though today in America the Captain Picard’s that are attempting to lead their family’s or themselves are failing just as bad as the story above. How can we have such doom, evil, destruction, and death sitting at the doorstep of our homes, lives, and people we love but yet continue to do nothing until ultimately it will be to late. That is a question I have asked myself and my readers for over four years now. Over the past 10 days events in the economy, diplomacy, and military industrial complex are flashing warning signs of of “Red Alert” proportions, but yet only a very few are coming forward and talking about them. To watch everyone in my daily life just going about their daily lives, and if I dare bring up what I see, not even want to engage in the conversation is well, how it has been going since I woke up years ago.

So let me say clearly, “RED ALERT, RED ALERT, move to your battle stations.”

Economic Implosion on our door step!

Remember all, I said one of the following three events would happen that would set in motion very quickly a quick collapse of what is left of the lie called American Economics.

1. Interest rates would rise from the zero percent overnight rate.
2. Inflation would begin in earnest in basic commodities of food and fuel, as well as health care, automobile prices and housing.
3. The dollar would “die” in value against other countries currencies.

As one, two, or all three events begin to occur a domino of economic downfall will begin to take place. Everything that one would think would be normal will not be, as the few in power try to desperately keep the system going.  A stock market that should be falling will rise, prices of Gold and Silver will fall dramatically even though all logic would tell you the price should be going through the roof.

In fact, “An organism at war with itself is doomed”, Carl Sagan

Over the past ten days have are just a few things that have and are in the process of taking place that should be sending you into “Red Alert”.

#1 Gold

The price of gold was down by about 4 percent on Friday.  Gold has now fallen below $1500 an ounce for the first time since July 2011.  Overall, the price of gold has fallen by about 10 percent since the beginning of the year, and it is about 22 percent below the record high set back in September 2011.

Yes, the price of gold is likely being pushed down by the banksters.  And yes, gold is a fantastic investment for the long-term.  But there will be times when the price of gold does fall dramatically just like we saw back in 2008.

#2 Silver

The price of silver fell by about 5 percent on Friday.  If it falls much more it is going to be at a level that presents a historically good buying opportunity.

Just like gold, there will be times when the price of silver swings dramatically.  But the truth is that silver is probably an even better long-term investment than gold is.

#3 Oil

The price of oil declined by about 3 percent on Friday.  Many will consider this a positive thing, but just remember what happened back in 2008.  Back then, the price of oil dropped like a rock.  If the price of oil gets below $80, that could very well be a clear signal that a major economic crisis is about to happen.

#4 Consumer Confidence

As I mentioned above, consumer confidence in the U.S. just had its biggest miss relative to expectations that has ever been recorded.  The following is from an article posted on Zero Hedge on Friday…

Well if this doesn’t send the market into all-time record high territory, nothing ever will: seconds ago the UMich Consumer Confidence plummeted from 78.6 to 72.3, on expectations of an unchanged 78.6 print. This was not only a 9 month low in the index, but more importantly the biggest miss to expectations in recorded history!

#5 Retirement Accounts

According to Wells Fargo, the number of Americans taking loans from their 401(k) accounts has risen by 28 percent over the past year…

Through an analysis of participants enrolled in Wells Fargo-administered defined contribution plans, the bank announced today that in the fourth quarter of 2012, there was a 28 percent increase in the number of people taking loans out from their 401(k) and that the average new loan balances increased to $7,126 from those taken out in the fourth quarter of 2011 – a 7% increase from $6,662.

Of the participants who took out loans, the greatest percentage were to people in their 50s (34.2%), followed by those in their 60s (28.9%) and then by those in their 40s (27.3%). The increase among participants in their 50s was nearly double the increase among those under 30. This is based on an analysis of a subset of 1.9 million eligible participants in retirement plans that Wells Fargo administers.

“The increased loan activity particularly among older participants is concerning because those are the years when workers can start to make ‘catch-up’ contributions and really need to focus on preparing for retirement,” said Laurie Nordquist, director of Wells Fargo Retirement.

#6 Ponzinomics

Bill Gross, Nouriel Roubini, Laurence Kotlikoff, Steve Keen, Michel Chossudovsky, the Wall Street Journal and many others say that our entire economy is a Ponzi scheme. Here is a video with David Stockton who now agrees.

——————————-

Listen I am only covering a few of the economic collapse RED ALERT Flags here, do an hour of your own research, things are OFF THE CHART of normal and have moved to zanny if you want to see it.

How about a few additional points

• 101 MILLION Working age Americans have “fallen out of” the work force.  THEY ARE NOT EVEN COUNTED in the unemployment numbers anymore. They have no job, no hope of a job, and yet are NOT counted as unemployed.
• 48 Million Americans are receiving food stamps.
• Current student loans outstanding is estimated to be 1.1 TRILLION dollars, with the interest rate on them set to double next month.
• The stock market continues to rise even though EVERY and I mean EVERY economic indicator in the past 10 missed missed there expectations BY A LOT.
• The average auto loan on a new car is 8.2 years.  Yes over 8 years to finance a CAR!

Now should I start to bring on events happening outside of the economic realm such as North Korea, Gun Control, Cyprus, European Union, endless wars, and so on.

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

Imagine a new world that is cascading down on us today.  Imagine that soon you will not be driving a car, wearing computer glasses, and when you order your meal at Denny’s it won’t be your friendly waitress Sally.

I post this on F&S for two reasons, one to continue to help wake people up to what big brother is doing, and second for those preparing to have a strategy in place for how to handle them.

What do you think of this “tower of power”. I counted 27 stories of government intrusion into the people’s lives. This monster of a building appropriately painted all black with black shaded windows reminded me of the death star in Star wars that just happened to be grounded with a foundation and parking garage. Everywhere on the outside where signs, “no firearms permitted within 100 feet of this building or in the building.” Is it not amazing how government has just gone mad in our country and we have let it happen. There are concrete poles everywhere to stop those potential bomber trucks from bombing them, they have police all over the building not to mention all the fire trucks on this day when I shot the photos. I thought it appropriate that if you look real close I got the two homeless people sleeping on the grass in front. I just sat there for twenty minutes thinking to myself what in the world do all those people do in a city of a quarter million people. As you all know I have spent my fair amount of time speaking at city council and county supervisor meetings for small, and medium size cities as well as counties with over a million people in them. No where, and I mean no where have a seen such in your face building as this. In a city that has almost no new development going on you would not need floors for planning or building.  In a city where sure you have water and sewer uses I guess that might need a floor. Let us see, I am sure they issue business licenses, and pick up garbage here and there, Even if the police and fire departments where stationed here which I say yes for the sake of argument, you would not need more than five stories high right?

Who do you think sits at the top? The Mayor, the city manager, who gets the corner office for this city skyscraper. Just wanted you all to get another picture of even at a local level things in America are just all wrong.

I give you Japan, $1.4 TRILLION Dollars worth of Yen to be printed in the next two years to “stimulate” their economy.

You can not make this stuff up!

But Chris, this does not affect America, this is those radiated Japanese that are living in the clouds of Fukushima. Oh my readers, this effects you greatly, what do you think this will do to the price of your Lexus, your sushi, your radioactive rice. Think about this, will this be used as an “excuse”, to have the Fed even print more money than the $85 BILLION per month they are printing now, of course so.

Our world today is turning into a den of death!

————————————————————–

(Reuters) – The Bank of Japan unleashed the world’s most intense burst of monetary stimulus on Thursday, promising to inject about $1.4 trillion into the economy in less than two years, a radical gamble that sent the yen reeling and bond yields to record lows.

New Governor Haruhiko Kuroda committed the BOJ to open-ended asset buying and said the monetary base would nearly double to 270 trillion yen ($2.9 trillion) by the end of 2014 in a shock therapy to end two decades of stagnation.

The U.S. Federal Reserve may buy more debt under its quantitative easing, but with the Japanese economy about one-third of the size of the United States, the scope of Kuroda’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing” is unmatched.

“This is an unprecedented degree of monetary easing,” a smiling Kuroda told a news conference after his first policy meeting at the helm of the central bank.

“We took all available steps we can think of. I’m confident that all necessary measures to achieve 2 percent inflation in two years were taken today,” he said.

One of those steps was to abandon interest rates as a target and become the only major central bank to primarily target the monetary base — the amount of cash it pumps out to the economy. It adopted a similar policy in 2001-2006, but not on this scale.

To all my readers, you know I do not just cut and paste articles from the main stream media very often. I am doing so in this article to provide you direct quotes coming from North Korea. I tell all I think this is most likely a shell game, in which we are meant to focus on this while something else much worse is being put in place elsewhere.  However a war with North Korea would be bad, and lead to escalations that will force all of us prepared to put our survival plans into place very quickly.  I would make sure your Geiger counters have full charge, and you have a way to stay in touch with loved ones over the next few days.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea has moved a missile with “considerable range” to its east coast, South Korea’s defense minister said Thursday, but he added that there are no signs that Pyongyang is preparing for a full-scale conflict.

The report came hours after North Korea’s military warned that it has been authorized to attack the U.S. using “smaller, lighter and diversified” nuclear weapons. It was the North’s latest war cry against America in recent weeks. The reference to smaller weapons could be a claim that Pyongyang has improved its nuclear technology. Or a bluff.

South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said he did not know the reasons behind the North’s missile movement, and that it “could be for testing or drills.”

He dismissed reports in Japanese media that the missile could be a KN-08, which is believed to be a long-range missile that if operable could hit the United States.

Kim told lawmakers at a parliamentary committee meeting that the missile has “considerable range” but not enough to hit the U.S. mainland.The range he described could refer to a mobile North Korean missile known as the Musudan, which has a range of 3,000 kilometers (1,800 miles). That would make Japan and South Korea potential targets – along with U.S. bases in both countries – but there are doubts about the missile’s accuracy.

The Pentagon announced that it will deploy a missile defense system to the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam to strengthen regional protection against a possible attack.

Experts say North Korea has not demonstrated that it has missiles capable of long range or accuracy. Some suspect that long-range missiles unveiled by Pyongyang at a parade last year were actually mockups.

“From what we know of its existing inventory, North Korea has short- and medium-range missiles that could complicate a situation on the Korean Peninsula (and perhaps reach Japan), but we have not seen any evidence that it has long-range missiles that could strike the continental U.S., Guam or Hawaii,” James Hardy, Asia Pacific editor of IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly, wrote in a recent analysis.

Kim Kwan-jin said that if North Korea were preparing for a full-scale conflict, there would be signs including the mobilization of a number of units, including supply and rear troops, but South Korean military officials have found no such preparations.“(North Korea’s recent threats) are rhetorical threats. I believe the odds of a full-scale provocation are small,” he said. But he added that North Korea might mount a small-scale provocation such as its 2010 shelling of a South Korean island, an attack that killed four people.

Pyongyang has been railing against joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened U.N. sanctions for its February nuclear test. Many of the threats come in the middle of the night in Asia – daytime for the U.S. audience.

Analysts say the threats are probably efforts to provoke softer policies from South Korea, to win diplomatic talks with Washington and to solidify the image of young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

At times, Pyongyang has gone beyond rhetoric.

On Tuesday, it announced it would restart a plutonium reactor it had shut down in 2007. A U.S. research institute said Wednesday that satellite imagery shows that construction needed for the restart has already begun.For a second day Thursday, North Korean border authorities denied entry to South Koreans who manage jointly run factories in the North Korean city of Kaesong. South Koreans already at the plant were being allowed to return home.

Defense Minister Kim said South Korea has prepared a military contingency plan should North Korea hold South Korean workers hostage in Kaesong, Kim said. He wouldn’t elaborate.

Outraged over comments in the South about possible hostage-taking and a military response from Seoul, a North Korean government-run committee threatened to pull North Korean workers out of Kaesong as well.

North Korea’s military statement Thursday, from an unnamed spokesman from the General Bureau of the Korean People’s Army, said its troops had been authorized to counter U.S. “aggression” with “powerful practical military counteractions,” including nuclear weapons.

It said America’s “hostile policy” and “nuclear threat” against North Korea “will be smashed by the strong will of all the united service personnel and people and cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means.”U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Washington is doing all it can to defuse the situation.

“Some of the actions they’ve taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat” to the U.S. and its allies, Hagel said Wednesday.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said its military is ready to deal with any provocation by North Korea. “I can say we have no problem in crisis management,” deputy ministry spokesman Wee Yong-sub told reporters.

The defense minister, however, was criticized by lawmakers over a North Korean defector who stole a South Korean fishing boat Wednesday night and fled back to North Korea across the western sea border.

Kim said South Korean radar has a “blind spot” in the area and South Korean troops were unaware the defector was fleeing until he almost reached the North Korean side. Lawmakers questioned his military’s readiness to detect and counter enemy troops who might use similar blind spots.This spring’s annual U.S.-South Korea drills have incorporated fighter jets and nuclear-capable stealth bombers. The allies insist they are routine exercises. Pyongyang calls them rehearsals for a northward invasion and says it needs nuclear weapons to defend itself.

On Sunday, Kim Jong Un led a high-level meeting of party officials who declared building the economy and “nuclear armed forces” as the nation’s priorities.

Pyongyang is believed to be working toward building an atomic bomb small enough to mount on a long-range missile. Long-range rocket launches designed to send satellites into space in 2009 and 2012 were widely considered covert tests of missile technology, and North Korea has conducted three underground nuclear tests.

“I don’t believe North Korea has the capacity to attack the United States with nuclear weapons mounted on missiles, and won’t for many years. Its ability to target and strike South Korea is also very limited,” nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker, a senior fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, said this week.

In comments posted to CISAC’s website, Hecker said North Korea knows a nuclear attack would be met with “a devastating nuclear response.”Hecker has estimated that North Korea has enough plutonium to make several crude nuclear bombs. Its announcement Tuesday that it would restart a plutonium reactor indicated that it intends to produce more nuclear weapons material.

The U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies has analyzed recent commercial satellite imagery of the Nyongbyon nuclear facility, where the reactor was shut down in 2007 under the terms of a disarmament agreement. A cooling tower for the reactor was destroyed in 2008.

The analysis published Wednesday on the institute’s website, 38 North, says that rebuilding the tower would take six months, but a March 27 photo shows building work may have started for an alternative cooling system that could take just weeks. Experts estimate it could take three months to a year to restart the plant.

SEOUL — North Korea dramatically escalated its warlike rhetoric on Thursday, warning that it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on targets in the United States.

“The moment of explosion is approaching fast,” the North Korean military said, warning that war could break out “today or tomorrow”.

Pyongyang‘s latest pronouncement came as Washington scrambled to reinforce its Pacific missile defences, preparing to send ground-based interceptors to Guam and dispatching two Aegis class destroyers to the region.

Tension was also high on the North’s heavily fortified border with South Korea, after Kim Jong-Un’s isolated regime barred South Koreans from entering a Seoul-funded joint industrial park on its side of the frontier.

In a statement published by the state KCNA news agency, the Korean People’s Army general staff warned Washington that US threats would be “smashed by… cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means”.

“The merciless operation of our revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified,” the statement said.

Last month, North Korea threatened a “pre-emptive” nuclear strike against the United States, and last week its supreme army command ordered strategic rocket units to combat status.

But, while Pyongyang has successfully carried out test nuclear detonations, most experts think it is not yet capable of mounting a device on a ballistic missile capable of striking US bases or territory.

Mounting tension in the region could however trigger incidents on the tense and heavily militarised border between North and South Korea.

The White House was swift to react to Pyongyang’s latest “unhelpful and unconstructive threats”.

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said: “It is yet another offering in a long line of provocative statements that only serve to further isolate North Korea from the rest of the international community and undermine its goal of economic development.

“North Korea should stop its provocative threats and instead concentrate on abiding by its international obligations.”

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel earlier said Pyongyang represented a “real and clear danger” to the United States and to its allies South Korea and Japan.

“They have nuclear capacity now, they have missile delivery capacity now,” Hagel said after a strategy speech at the National Defense University. “We take those threats seriously, we have to take those threats seriously.

“We are doing everything we can, working with the Chinese and others, to defuse that situation on the peninsula.”

The Pentagon said it would send ground-based THAAD missile-interceptor batteries to protect military bases on the island of Guam, a US territory some 3,380 kilometres (2,100 miles) southeast of North Korea and home to 6,000 American military personnel, submarines and bombers.

They would complement two Aegis anti-missile destroyers already dispatched to the region.

The THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence) is a truck-mounted system that can pinpoint an enemy missile, track the projectile and launch an interceptor to bring it down.

The new defensive measures came as Pyongyang stopped South Korean staff members from entering the Kaesong complex, a shared industrial zone funded by Seoul but 10 kilometres inside the North.

Pyongyang said the 861 South Koreans already in the zone could leave.

The move cut the last practical cooperation between the rival powers and was seen as a dramatic escalation in the crisis.

South Korea’s defence ministry said it had contingency plans that included “military action” if the safety of its citizens in Kaesong was threatened.

China, the North’s sole major ally, appealed for “calm” from all sides, and Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov said he was worried the situation could spiral out of control.

Describing the Kaesong ban as “very regrettable”, South Korea’s Unification Ministry urged the North to normalise access immediately.

Around 53,000 North Koreans work at 120 South Korean plants at the complex, which was still operating normally Wednesday.

Tensions have soared on the Korean peninsula since December, when the North test launched a long-range rocket. In February, it upped the ante once again by conducting its third nuclear test.

Washington has deployed nuclear-capable US B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers and two US destroyers to South Korean air and sea space.

This week, the North warned it would reopen its mothballed Yongbyon reactor — its source of weapons-grade plutonium. It was closed in July 2007 under a six-nation aid-for-disarmament accord.

The US-Korea Institute at John Hopkins University said Wednesday that a satellite photograph seen on March 27 appeared to show construction work along a road and near the back of the reactor was already under way.

Experts said it would take at least six months to get the reactor back up and running, after which it will be able to produce one bomb’s worth of weapons-grade plutonium per year.

“How stupid those people are they say the stock market is fraudulent, and you should invest in Gold and Silver, ha ha, what a bunch of conspiracy theorist,” Shouted Jim, another anchor at CNBC whom has bank accounts in several foreign countries and lives in an isolated and walled off island somewhere in the Bahamas.

“The Federal Reserve Chairman is a genius, and his money printing strategy has saved the American, and European economy and the world should follow his lead”, chimed in Jennifer whom joined CNBC last year after being hired from her Playboy modeling campaign.

“The market is at new highs, housing is roaring back, unemployment is down, and consumers are spending like no tomorrow, America’s future could never be brighter,” Said Frank, the well dressed investment banker from Goldman Sachs who appears on CNBC as a financial expert commentator.

The smoke rose in huge clouds over the city of Sacramento. It was a dark thick smoke, and loud booms could be heard as explosions ripped through the city, or what was left of the city. I was perched on a lookout tower in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and had a great view of the city as it burnt.  The sound of screams and jet engines has been constant for the past 48 hours.

My short wave gave out a message, “This is the Department of Homeland Security, we need everyone to remain calm, our nation is under attack by extremists from within, if you see anyone not in a military or police uniform consider them armed and dangerous and report them to homeland security.” “All citizens need to bring their papers and report to family safety centers which are located throughout the country within the next 24 hours. Food and security can be found at the centers. We will be fighting these domestic terrorists and bring them to justice insuring soon the American way of life will be resumed, and you will be allowed to go back to your homes. If you have not checked into a family center by tomorrow at 6pm you will be considered a terrorist and shot on sight. Thank you for your obedience.”

“John what are we going to do with our money?” shouted Jen as she watched CNBC.

“Jen, the last thing we need to worry about right now is our investments” said John as he filled up his suitcase.

“But John, we put all of our savings into the stock market, and right now the market is down to 5600, we need to do something!”

“Jen, have you tried to make a phone call? All lines are busy, turn up the TV”.

“Everyone should stay calm” said Rachel the FOX News anchor, “The markets are experience a little turbulence, but I have been told by all the experts this is temporary and of course the market will move back to its highs.”.

I could not help but notice her shirt was cut a bit lower today and her cleavage was just massive.

“Listen, we should just get our papers and find the family center, listen to Rachel she says this is just temporary.”
