Main Core, PROMIS and the Shadow Government (Pt. 4b) In the first three installments of this series I examined the existence of the massive surveillance state database MAIN CORE and how similar tools of oppression are destroying American civil liberties. In this installment I want to draw a bigger picture of how a network of Wall Street oligarchs, rogue intelligence operatives, organized crime figures and the mysterious alliances that have led to the hostile takeover of the US.

Are Corporate Mercenaries Assisting Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? The Obama foreign policy team and the Cold War relic NATO continue to double down on the coup installed government in Kiev. With "pro-Russian" resistance in East Ukraine building against the coming austerity and oppression the occupying government is desperate to put it down. Reports have begun to seep out, largely in Russian media that there are US corporate mercenaries working with Neo-Nazis to crush the uprising.

The Democrats Got What They Deserved Tuesday's electoral massacre may prove to be the cornerstone of what Karl Rove once referred to as a "permanent Republican majority". Despite much weeping and gnashing of teeth there has yet to be any acknowledgement that the Democrats themselves are responsible for their stunning defeat. There is little time to stop an even worse beating in 2016 and early signs are pointing to a suicidal doubling down on failure.

Lynch Mob Rule as Bowe Bergdahl's Hometown Surrenders to the Terrorists The eruption of mass hatred unleashed by political operatives and spread by a corrupt propaganda machine that would make Goebbels proud over the negotiated release of American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl is as disgusting as it is terrifying. The bloodlust that now exists within the right-wing element is a danger to all rational Americans, particularly since they are heavily armed and ready to rumble when the order comes.

Greenwald Touts Imminent Release of Shocking NSA Story Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald has announced the "imminent" publication of a story on exactly who is being targeted by the NSA. This could be the first in a series of tales of surveillance state abuse that will be so shocking that Americans will have no choice but to be moved to action to reign in the monster that has devoured the Constitution.

The Al Qaeda Switchboard: Did CIA Obstruction Enable 9/11 Attacks? While NSA defenders continue their pitched battle against oversight of their unconstitutional metadata collection programs it has been much to their chagrin that such programs are not effective in preventing terrorism. The argument that metadata collection could have prevented 9/11 is bogus and according to a New Yorker article the CIA prevented critical information that could have stopped it from reaching the FBI.

Nice Job Neocons: Another Fine Mess in Ukraine With the hated and demonized Vladimir Putin signing off on the annexation of Crimea and then blasting western hypocrisy the Ukrainian fiasco is now going to the next level. This looming disaster is largely the responsibility of the neocons who despite being prematurely written off after the Iraq debacle never really went away. Leading the squadrons of chickenhawks is of course William Kristol, our very own Joesph Goebbels.

Obama's Chickens Coming Home to Roost in Kiev With the U.S. backed junta in Kiev having badly lost the fight over the corporate booty in East Ukraine the blowback is coming. Hell hath no fury like fascists and neo-Nazis scorned and they are headed to the Maiden to protest the Poroshenko puppet government. I doubt that neocon Victoria Nuland will be showing up to pass out cookies this time around.

What Progressives Fail to Understand: This Is War With America under total right-wing control despite the farce of the dog and pony show elections that only serve as spectacles to determine which corrupt looter capitalist party controls the spoils system it is time to think differently. What progressives and what passes for the left fail to understand is that this has always been a war and they are on the brink of losing everything. Isn't it time to start fighting back?

American Warlord: Obama's Empire of Blood The trade-union-hall massacre that took place in Odessa last Friday along with President Obama's failure to strongly condemn the inhuman acts of cruelty committed by elements of the US-backed coup regime in Kiev is of historic nature. Mr. Obama has now crossed over into the domain of the gangster and as a result has forever stained whatever remains of the tattered reputation of the United States. This is the way we roll now.

Main Core, PROMIS and the Shadow Government (Pt. 4) In the first three installments of this series I examined the existence of the massive surveillance state database MAIN CORE and how similar tools of oppression are destroying American civil liberties. I also took a look at the criminality of many members of the Bush administration (especially Dick Cheney) and their crusade against The Constitution as well as Cheney's involvement in Continuity of Government programs.

They're With Her: Neocons to Ride Hillary's Coattails Back to Power The looming presidency of Hillary Clinton will return the neocons back to the pinnacle of power. Having been briefly discredited after Bush's wars became toxic, they have waited and adapted and will be more dangerous than ever now that they have liberal cover.

Sports Icon Tony Dungy Outs Himself as Anti-Gay Bigot Despite ongoing and encouraging progress there is a deeply entrenched, institutionalized and widespread streak of hatred and intolerance towards gay people that continues to rear it's ugly head. This is especially predominant with the adherents to the mutated American version of Christianity which mixes Jesus with Orwell. It is most evident when a revered national figure lets their true feelings slip in an unguarded moment.

Is There a More Loathsome American than John Kerry? Secretary of State John Kerry continues to be an embarrassment to America as well as a deserved object of mockery. His slithering around on morning TV on Wednesday to take cheap shots at heroic whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals that he is not only a buffoon but has serious character flaws and his beef with Snowden and Putin is of a personal nature. Had he any decency - which he doesn't - he would resign today.

Democrats Laying the Groundwork For 2016 Catastrophe After a humiliating beating in the 2014 elections Democrats are already taking steps towards a greater disaster in 2016. The Senate Dems have once again chosen Harry Reid as their leader and Nancy Pelosi is likely to hold onto her gig as well. Obama is busily working to seal the deal on the TPP and the great Hillary leap of faith nears. Common sense says that if you are in a hole just stop digging not ask for a bigger shovel.

Tail Gunner Hillary and the Democrats Embrace McCarthyism In what has been the most disturbing political season ever, a specter of the dark past has emerged & manifested itself within the Democratic party. The enormously unpopular Hillary Clinton has abandoned the issues in favor of demagoguery and it bodes ill for the future. Clinton and her surrogates have conjured the malevolent spirit of Senator Joseph McCarthy and in doing so unleashed a force which will usher in a new dark age

Hunting the Witch Hunters: Backlash Begins Against PropOrNot The murky anti-American group PropOrNot and their McCarthyist blacklist of "Russian" moles in the alternative media may have been given official sanction by the Washington Post but the backlash is beginning. Honest journalists are calling into question this sleazy group's agenda and some of the websites on the list are threatening legal action. The key however is to rip away the veil of secrecy protecting the witch hunters.

The Mask Slips: Ukraine PM Invokes Nazi Era Rhetoric While the US media has been engaged in an unprecedented lockout over the true nature of the composition of the puppet government in Kiev - completely omitting the neo-Nazis and fascists - the truth does seep out through the cracks. Prime Minister Arseniy "Yats" Yatsenyuk invoked the Third Reich era concept of "subhumans" or "untermensch: in railing against anti-austerity forces in the east as the civil war percolates.

Main Core, PROMIS and the Shadow Government (Pt.2) Part two in an ongoing series on how the shadow government was able to rise to prominence in the aftermath of 9/11. This is the followup to part one of a series that examined how the Main Core database has been used for the unconstitutional domestic surveillance of opponents to the Bush-Cheney-PNAC Axis of Evil agenda. It is imperative to realize that all that has come to pass was a part of a greater plan for a fascist USA.

SOMALGET: NSA Recording all Cell Phone Calls in the Bahamas New revelations of NSA programs have been revealed at The Intercept in a story entitled "Data Pirates of the Caribbean" detailing the recording of ALL cell phone calls in the Bahamas. This is being done without the host country's permission and has been piggybacked on top of DEA operations. More evidence that "keeping Americans safe" and "preventing terrorism" are lies to conceal the true intention of the programs.
