La Grande Intifada Update 4

Divide Et Impera!!

So as we enter the most amazing moment in the pivot of world history (a moment not seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall) it is important to remain wary of what the Globalists will now throw against the people who across the world are clamouring for their freedom.

The obvious solution that they will unleash on us now will be the ancient and classic Divide and Conquer a tactic the Imperialists have used since the days of the Caesars. As we have reported on for years we now have a huge volume of evidence that suggests that the Global Terror networks far from being a radical insurgent force against the Empire are actually a force that is in the EMPLOY of the Globalists (whether the average grunt fighting for these forces is aware of this or not).

Whatever ideologies may actually spur on the patsies who carry out the attacks their command structures take their orders and their financing from the Globalist Elite of the New World Order. The very SAME people who then send the armies of NATO in to fight against this constructed enemy. And by the time the invasion is under way plenty of local people are forced into a defensive war for their homelands and so soon the whole region is in flames.

These terror groups are like a fifth column who carry these attacks out in order to allow the Globalists to continuously attack and roll back the democracies of the west, and provide the pretext for the subsequent third world invasions, as they consolidate their powers for the world Empire. And so most of these networks receive their orders from shadow groups in the Pentagon and the intelligence services of the west whilst they receive their funding from the same mega banks in the City of London and Wall Street that have also launched the unprecedented economic war against the people of the world.

And so as the people finally awaken across the world we can only expect that these groups will be used in ever increasing frequency as the desperation of the Globalists reaches fever pitch. Indeed we saw this recently in the Egypt crisis. Using a tactic that they used successfully in Iraq to spark off a sectarian war between the Sunni and Shia of Iraq they tried to start a similar conflict in Egypt between the Christian minority and the Muslim majority.

It can be pretty easily supposed that they smelt the rumblings of approaching Revolution and were trying to stave it off by sparking a spiralling civil war blood bath instead. A state of being that these Globalists seem to love keeping much of the world in and profit so much from.

Astonishingly for the first time in the past 10 years we have seen a country smart enough NOT to fall for this ploy. And as the subsequent weeks have played out we now have reached the situation where all the people of Egypt (Christian AND Muslim) have been standing shoulder to shoulder against their local Globalist Muppet of the region the slimebag Mubarak.

And as the Revolution has unfolded we have seen amazing scenes of solidarity with Muslim prayers being protected by Christians and vice versa with Christian prayer time being protected by Muslims even in Alexandria the site of the earlier bombing. And it is interesting to note that following the revolt overwhelming the state and secret police in Egypt not a single terrorist bombing has taken place. It adds overwhelming weight to the supposition that so many of these attacks are financed and equipped by the very police forces who claim they are there to defend us from such terrorism.

So it just goes to show that the people CAN wake up and transcend the fundamentalist extremism that the Globalists from their halls in London and Washington DC are trying to torch the world with and maintain the classic Divide and Rule.

And of course in the heartland of the Globalists Empire the United States we are now seeing a similar tactic deployed. It should be quickly noted at this point that the United States has been picked as the Globalists main roosting point merely for its military muscle as it is the current supreme expression of that currently on the planet. But this is a GLOBAL empire and is not a US Empire something that many sometimes forget. The US is being controlled by these extra state players just as much as all the other nations currently suffering under their current yoke of Imperial madness.

So as they unleash their terror war across the planet the globalists of course are consolidating all they can in the United States with a current huge increase in the Terror alert level.

This increase has come in time for both a crack down to prevent an Egypt style revolt against the Globalists breaking out in the United States (a very freedom loving culture underneath and thus it’s a shock they have allowed themselves down the dead end they are currently in.)

And just in time to scaremonger the Congress into voting the so called Patriot Act into an extension that will see it continuing. The Patriot Act is one of the most atrocious laws ever passed in America and in essence is the American version of “Emergency Law” that those brave people in the Middle East who have lived under such laws for decades are currently demanding an end to.

So it does not take an especially paranoid mind to see the absolute disgusting opportunism that led to the Obama administration (shove that peace prize so far up your arse!!!) to increase the terror alert whilst that piece of legislation was before the house. We will see the outcome of that vote by the end of the week.

So in summary as we move into this most enlightening and joyous moment of pure uprisings for freedom and peace we should be prepared not to be turned against each other or to request that those who Lord over us remove what few rights we have left in order to keep us "safe" from the potential wave of terrorism that these bastards will unleash against us themselves.

And here’s hoping that as the Middle East transforms itself and throws out its Western backed dictatorships they also overwhelm and destroy the extremist militants that these very same Extra state players have put in place to terrorise the locals and the people back in the west that they want to generate faux wars with.

Today Mubarak and Ben Ali Tomorrow Bernanke and (Mervyn) King!!

GOLD SPOT PRICE – not worth the paper it’s written on

Every morning, on whichever morning show you watch, at the end of the news they flash up the GOLD price. It is somehow seen as a barometer of the health of society and the sickness of fiat currency ... except that it is wrong ... it does not represent the price of gold at all, well not for you and me ...Let’s leave aside the fact that the price is almost certainly heavily manipulated by the likes of JP Morgan on behalf of the Fed and instead just talk about the number itself.

We keep getting told by the likes of Alex Jones and “friend-of-the-site” Max Keiser (even if he doesn’t know it!) to go out and buy gold and silver. But if you want to buy gold how do you do it? Well depending on how rich you are there are a couple of ways. If you have a lot more money than me then you can deal directly with bullion banks. But for the small guy if we want to protect ourselves from the coming collapse of fiat currency then we must either invest in gold through gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), such as GOLD on the ASX, or we buy small amounts of physical gold from the mint. In Australia the Perth Mint is the place to go. The price of neither of these is reflected by the “Gold Price” we see each day. Silver is much the same.

ETFs – these are NOT GOLD. They are a derivative of gold and are actually just bits of paper saying they are gold. In effect when Nixon in the 70s stated that the US would no longer redeem paper money in gold the banks simply rubbed their hands together and remonetised gold with their own bank bills or Gold ETFs. That is a story for another time. ETFs therefore are simply promissory notes written by banks which suggest that you have just bought gold. The fund behind the ETF provides a covenant that they have the gold if you want to go get it. The trick for them, as the history of money tells us, is that at any one time not everyone will want to access their gold so they can actually sell more bits of paper saying it represents gold than the actual gold stock they own and store. You have NOT bought gold. You have bought a claim on the balance sheet of the fund from which you bought the paper. Paper gold is usually priced at a slight premium to the spot price of gold to pay for the management of the fund and the cost of storing the gold that is most likely not there. With the price of gold increasing and more and more individuals and governments buying the physical stock we may well see a point in which the funds cannot actually buy gold in the market to fill the paper promises they have made. The paper will therefore be seen as risky and will trade below the price of gold ... which is only right as why would I pay the same price for a bit of paper as I would for a nice shiny bit of metal? Please note that I firmly believe that spending all your money on a shiny bit of metal is a staggering manifestation of disinformation ... it is just another financial investment, the value of which is held only by mutual agreement, in which you have to decide which way the price will go so that you can earn more fiat currency to spend on the goods you want to buy in the future. But the yellow metal in of itself holds only a small intrinsic value for its uses in electronics and other new technologies.

Physical Gold, better known as Gold – now we are talking, if you want gold for some reason then physical is the only way to go. Why not paper? Paper is NOT gold. As already stated it is a derivative and in part a bet on the credit worthiness of the Fund selling the ETF. But purchasing physical gold has its issues too. Where would you go to buy gold? Don’t say a jewellers!! Well, you might have to try the Perth Mint. Now try buying gold at the spot price ... can’t do it can you? Unless you have $68,741 (at current price) you will end up paying up to $1,615, or $246 too much, per ounce for your gold.

In fact even if you have a handy 68k to convert into 50 ounces of gold you will still pay the spread of $5 (current) per ounce or $250, you’ll pay that or more again when you sell it, not to mention the cost of delivery, or storage, and if you are taking personal delivery (which is the only way you can be sure it is there) then don’t tell a single person and ensure that you take out insurance ... more expense ...

... so the price of gold, the POG, is not the price of gold ... DISINFO ... still, it’s fun to watch as the higher it goes the more fucked the paper gold issuers are and the more the price manipulators will suffer ...

BTW, don't even think about buying coins! Al least not if you want to make money. At the moment the Perth Mint offers 1 oz Silver Coins for $40 ... which is 33% higher than the price of silver ... earlier this year they were selling for $90 or more than 300% the $28 per oz price of Silver at the time ... don't fool yourself that you can sell at a premium price ... so the price of a coin went from $90 to $40 in the period the "price of silver" went from $28 to $30 ... seem a little strange to you? I hope so ... but this is another chapter ...

[WhiteyRound Eye says: Well actually some of us ARE advocating you go out and buy SILVER coins at least. As our "friend of the site" Max Keiser has suggested with his Crash JP Morgan Buy Silver campaign. However as Max himself points out do not buy these coins thinking that you are indeed making some kind of financial investment. Buying these coins is a Revolutionary act part of La Grande Intifada and once you have bought these coins you must sit on them and not try to onsell them AT ALL. That is the point to the campaign to drastically increase the supply shortage in order to damage the mega banks balance sheets hopefully terminally. How much money (or resources) of your own you choose to throw away on this endeavour really comes down to how much pent up rage you currently have against this whole Globalised Slave Planet paradigm that these evil bastards have pushed on us for the past 20 years. So DO buy silver coins!!! DONT sell them for profit (although as Ferretous points out you CANT anyway). Do bring Globalisation (in its current predatory Imperial format) to its freaking knees and once and for all wipe this beast out!!]

[Ferretous says: this post was not on the merits or otherwise of the Crash JP Morgan campaign which is emeritus in its own right ... just highlighting that while you may value the collapse of JP Morgan and may wish to buy silver for that purpose, that to invest in silver coins for the purposes of making a quick buck is misguided due to the premium. In fact one could argue that the reason that the premium was so high at the start of the year was due to the Keiser campaign ... shame it DIDN'T move the spot price as much as it moved the Premium to over 300% the spot price ... this is a dastardly little mechanism in the market ... as much as I want the campaign to work I am not convinced it will do much more than to drive the premiums ... I would love Keiser to explain exactly how we can drive the underlying spot price and how to avoid these premiums and spreads ...]

[SockRatEz says: so really what we need to do is to buy JP Morgan paper and then demand delivery ... right? No more wasting our efforts and money buying coins, trinkets or junk silver ... straight to JP Morgan paper and then demand delivery ... let THEM pay the premium. That's how we'll get them ...]

[Greg the Bunny says: okay so how do we do that?]

[SockRatEz says: dunno ... yet!]

[3/3/11 Ferretous says: checking back with the Perth Mint today the price of a 1 oz silver coin is an astronomical $105 ... basically a prohibitive price given the so called price of silver is about $34/oz ... The US Mint has come out and said that they will not be circulating any more of one of their 1 oz silver coins due to a shortage of the metal ... Canadian Mint is much the same ... but the spot price stays down near $30 ... strange? No ... MANIPULATED]

ATHENS (Raging Heart of the Uprising)

No Anagram For Avatar: Predictive Programing In Pop Culture [With Reference To Plato's Allegory Of The Cave]

DISCLAIMER:

I would like to begin this article with an explanation of why a discussion of James Cameron's movie Avatar [2009] is relevant to a blog that is devoted to total disinformation awareness. I intend to use this movie as an analogy to explore some of the issues surrounding predictive programming and cultural conditioning. Astute readers will note that these are two different labels for the same phenomena. I might equally call it behaviour modification or mind control, except that in the case of Avatar it happens on a mass scale. Recent estimates indicate that almost 27 million people have seen the film at a cinema with the full 3D immersion effect. For the sake of brevity I shall avoid any extended discussion of the technology behind Avatar, as I don't think the special effects are the most important factor here, although the experience of being totally immersed in someone else's vision is an issue that should be considered in depth.  Equally, I am omitting any discussion of the plot or storyline of the film as, for the sake of full disclosure I feel it is only right to admit that I haven't actually seen it on account of how the whole thing really fucking creeps me out.  

INTRODUCTION:  Not Just Imprisoned, The Prison Itself 

[Or: It May Only Be A Movie But It Has The Power To Transport Us All To A Magical Dreamland Where We Will Become So Happy We'll Want To Kill Ourselves]  

Firstly: no responsible, rational blogger would, could or should expect to get away with a line like that.

But I'm not a responsible, rational blogger.

I'm an irresponsible, alarmist blogger.

So that's alright, then.

As I will argue [#withlogic!] in this article, predictive programming is nothing new, and one of the earliest references that I've been able to find is Plato's allegory of the cave. Before we get into that, or  into what some more contemporary thinkers are writing about predictive programming, lets have some background information on all this Avatar shit [and a fucking creepy picture] preferably from a reputable, mainstream source:

James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle "Avatar" may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film the beauty of the alien world Pandora. On the fan forum site "Avatar Forums," a topic thread entitled "Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible," has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope.

A user named Mike wrote on the fan Web site "Naviblue" that he contemplated suicide after seeing the movie. "Ever since I went to see 'Avatar' I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na'vi made me want to be one of them. I can't stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it," Mike posted. "I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in 'Avatar.'"

Creepy, right?

Other fans have expressed feelings of disgust with the human race and disengagement with reality. Cameron's movie, which has pulled in more than $1.4 billion in worldwide box office sales and could be on track to be the highest grossing film of all time, is set in the future when the Earth's resources have been pillaged by the human race. A greedy corporation is trying to mine the rare mineral unobtainium from the planet Pandora, which is inhabited by a peace-loving race of 10-foot tall, blue-skinned natives called the Na'vi.

In their race to mine for Pandora's resources, the humans clash with the Na'vi, leading to casualties on both sides. The world of Pandora is reminiscent of a prehistoric fantasyland, filled with dinosaur-like creatures mixed with the kinds of fauna you may find in the deep reaches of the ocean. Compared with life on Earth, Pandora is a beautiful, glowing utopia.

Cameron's special effects masterpiece is very lifelike, and the 3-D performance capture and CGI effects essentially allow the viewer to enter the alien world of Pandora for the movie's 2½-hour running time, which only lends to the separation anxiety some individuals experience when they depart the movie theater.

"Virtual life is not real life and it never will be, but this is the pinnacle of what we can build in a virtual presentation so far," said Dr. Stephan Quentzel, psychiatrist and Medical Director for the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. "It has taken the best of our technology to create this virtual world and real life will never be as utopian as it seems onscreen. It makes real life seem more imperfect." Within the fan community, suggestions for battling feelings of depression after seeing the movie include things like playing "Avatar" video games or downloading the movie soundtrack, in addition to encouraging members to relate to other people outside the virtual realm and to seek out positive and constructive activities.

So, let's review: Avatar is a "completely immersive spectacle" which has produced in some viewers "feelings of disgust with the human race and disengagement with reality" as well as suicidal ideation and the belief in some kind of supernatural afterlife upon death. Astute readers will immediately notice the similarities between this and the intended results of both military training and religious indoctrination.

And that is why I want to examine it more closely in our awesome new blog.
