It is a DONE DEAL.

President Obama, Mike Rogers, John Boehner and John McCain, who have OPENLY been ‘chomping at the bit’ to arm the Syrian “Mercenary” Rebels got their way, much to the dismay of Fox News’ National Security Analyst, KT McFarland. Don’t miss her furious and ‘spot on’ response in the above video.

There is NOTHING any of us can say OR do about it either. Our elected representatives can’t let us know how they voted. For our own good and security, that information is ‘classified and secret’.

Last week, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence gave its approval to an Obama administration plan to provide weapons to rebels in Syria, but how individual members of the committee stood on the subject remains unknown.

There was no public debate and no public vote when one of the most contentious topics in American foreign policy was decided – outside of the view of constituents — who oppose the president’s plan to aid the rebels by 54 percent to 37 percent (according to a Gallup Poll last month).

In fact, ask individual members of the committee, who represent 117 million people in 14 states, how they stood on the plan to use the CIA to funnel weapons to the rebels and they are likely to respond with “none of your business:” It’s classified.

Those were, in fact, the words Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chair of the committee, used to clarify her position for her constituents. She declined. “It’s a difficult situation”, she said. And, “It’s classified.”

She was not alone. In a string of interviews over days, members of both the Senate intelligence committee and its equivalent in the House could not be pinned down on their view of providing arms to the rebels. The senators and representatives said they weren’t allowed to give an opinion — or at least a detailed one — because the matter was classified.

It’s an increasingly common stance that advocates of open government say undermines the very principle of a representative democracy.

“It’s like a pandemic in Washington, D.C., this idea that ‘I don’t have to say anything, I don’t have to justify anything, because I can say it’s secret,’” said Jim Harper, director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based libertarian think tank.

“Classified” has become less a safeguard for information and more a ‘shield from accountability’ on tough subjects, said Steven Aftergood, the director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy.

“Classification can be a convenient pretext for avoiding difficult questions,” he said. “There’s a lot that can be said about Syria without touching on classified, including a statement of general principles, a delineation of possible military and diplomatic options, and a preference for one or the other of them. So jumping to ‘national security secrecy’ right off the bat looks like an evasion.”

U.S., U.K. and Australian trained rebels await their new American weapons.

Al Qaeda Syrian Rebels, trained in Jordan, await their new American weapons.

Westerners from the United States, Europe and Australia joining the Extremist Rebel Syrian forces have raised fear among American Intelligence experts of a new threat of terrorism when the raducalized fighters return home.

When LIARS lead…

If the truth is what sets us free, what does it mean to live in a society where truth is absent?

The danger to America is not a single politician with ill intent. Or even a group of them. The most dangerous thing any nation faces is a citizenry capable of trusting a liar to lead them.

“Almost all current events in the affairs of governments and nations have their parallels and precedents in the past,” American President Harry Truman wrote, “without an understanding of history, we are doomed to repeat our collective past.” Has any leader’s lies from the past dramatically shaped people’s destiny?

The Nazi’s, who comprised less than 10% of the German population, compelled millions of people to head for gas chambers in a docile manner. 10 MILLION PEOPLE! How did they do THAT? The Nazis were overwhelmingly outnumbered. They could easily have been overpowered. Why didn’t people resist?

The answer is breathtakingly simple. It is a method still being used by some elected leaders to achieve various goals today.

THEY LIED.

Adolf Eichmann, known as “The Master”, set about implementing the “Final Solution” as if he were the president of a multinational corporation. His intricate stories, were designed to ensure the cooperation of the condemned (but unknowing) Jews. Accompanied by an entourage of no more than thirty local men — mostly unarmed -Eichmann would address the crowd in a strong, clear voice.

This is what he said:

“Jews: At last, it can be reported to you that the Russians are advancing on our eastern front. I apologize for the hasty way we brought you into our protection. Unfortunately, there was little time to explain. You have nothing to worry about. We want only the best for you. You will leave here shortly and be sent to very fine places indeed. You will work there, your wives will stay at home, and your children will go to school. You will have wonderful lives. We will all be terrible crowded on the trains, but the journey is short. Men? Please keep your families together and board the railcars in an orderly manner. Quickly now, my friends, we must hurry!”

Auschwitz concentration camp, arrival of Hunga...

The Jewish husbands and fathers were relieved by the explanation and comforted by the fact that there weren’t more armed soldiers. Fear of “heinous Russian Communists” had been pounded over the media to the masses for months. Relieved that the authorities were looking out for their best interests, grown, strong men, who could have resisted, instead trustingly helped their families into the rail cars. The containers, designed to transport eight cows, were each packed with a minimum of one hundred human beings and quickly padlocked.

At that moment, they were lost.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,” said Thomas Jefferson, “. . . . The people cannot be safe without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.”

History shows that any people who are sheep-like in following their leadership (so long as their personal self-interests are satisfied) may one day awaken to find that their nation has changed in dramatic ways.

-Do YOU think lying to get elected is acceptable? Especially when you believe the candidate’s intention is to get elected to do GOOD WORKS?

-Who are the “good guys” and who are the “bad guys”?

-Would truth be a starting point for telling the difference?

-What is our nation’s course? Do you believe that one can determine a probable destination by examining the direction in which we are traveling? Where are we headed?

The only way to know a person who aspires to lead us is to listen to what he says and watch what he does. Frankly, what I think of any current or past leader of the United States is irrelevant. The questions most important to YOU in regard to this subject should be: What criteria do YOU use?

It doesn’t take MANY people to lead a nation in a direction that has serious repercussions on the liberty of OTHERS. Indeed, it has happened, here, in the United States. We have given up liberties for various reasons. WE MAY NEVER GET THEM BACK. And, things could turn even WORSE very rapidly.

Is SOMEONE lying to our country right now?

YOU get to answer that for yourself. My point is that each of us must STOP blindly believing everything someone with an agenda says.

TODAY WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INTERNET’S SEARCH ENGINES, it is simple to verify a politicians voting record, see videos of the politician on youtube to check out the politician’s consistency and whether or not he or she keeps his or her promises.

We MUST do our best to change our country’s direction and to put the best people possible in office. People who will DO what they believe is RIGHT and TRUE.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we MUST DO. ~Leonardo DeVinci

Your life, the lives of your children and the lives of your grandchildren may depend upon you demanding THE TRUTH and NOTHING LESS.

Is the U.S. preparing for a civil war?

The internet is awash with reports of government agencies stockpiling weapons and medical supplies in the face of looming domestic unrest — but is there any truth behind the rumors? Why do some people believe the U.S. is preparing for civil war?

SOURCES referenced in the video:

Rex 84: Government Silently Positions for Martial Law as Financial Collapse Arrives in America

`JCS Conplan 0300-97,’ begun in the Bush/Cheney era, authorizes the Pentagon to employ special, ultra secret `anti-terrorist’ military units on American soil to arrest or kill citizens at home and is complete with a mammoth budget, commando units, hit squads, spies, mercenary forces, intelligence gathering and analysis, and a direct line to the White House.

OPERATION GARDEN PLOT, Just do a search to bring up several PDF’s (they were updated and changed through the years).

A short (8:27) documentary by Laura Poitras DEFINITELY worth your time:

Stellar Wind Routinely eavesdropped on politicians and journalists…

The Stellar Wind program was considered so illegal by the Justice Department and FBI agents who knew about it, there was a belief that then-Attorney General John Ashcroft would be indicted for allowing the interception program to operate. Known also as the “Terrorist Surveillance Program,” the warrantless wiretapping was authorized by President George W. Bush in the wake of 9/11 and had to be recertified every 45 days. In March 2004, Deputy Attorney General James Comey, upon the determination of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, decided that certification would not occur because the program was deemed illegal.

How many “Stellar Wind/Fusion Spy Centers” exist? Read, TOP SECRET AMERICA/A Washington Post Investigation. The report (which is shocking) determines that the “secret world” the government created has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.
