The shallow deep-state goes deeper as it moves toward martial law

I am not trying to be cute and play with words. That title is meant to convey what it says, so let me explain.
Deep State
© Ferguson
The people who own the United States and their allies around the world have a plan. It is so simple that it is extremely devious.

Their plan has been in operation for many years.

It has most people bamboozled because it is Janus-faced by design, overt one day, covert the next, but both faces operate under one controlling head. Some call this head the Deep-State. Even the Deep-State calls itself the Deep-State in a double fake. It is meant to make people schizoid, which it has.

The so-called Deep-State has been given many names over the years. I will not bore you with them, except to say that it was once called the power elite. They are the upper classes, the super wealthy who control the financial institutions, Wall Street, the intelligence agencies, the corporate media, the internet, the military, and the politicians. They are multinational.

They are the wealthy nihilists who care not one jot for the rest of the world. They operate in secret, yet also run above-ground organizations such as the World Bank (WB), the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), etc. Their bloodstream runs on war, the preparations for war, and economic exploitation of the world.

All wealthy people are not party to their machinations, but they are almost always complicit in profiting from their crimes, unless they are very stupid. Or play stupid. Since I am talking about a great confidence game, that is quite common.

Other people, all other classes, the poor, middle-classes, even a portion of the upper middle classes mean nothing to the power elite unless they can serve their interests. They are always waging class warfare to maintain their domination and control. Their recent version of this class war is underway in the United States and in many other countries.

Best of the Web: The businesses who are plugging their woke cred by supporting the Antifa and BLM riots

Rioters, probably Black Lives Matter, destroying a Target cashier's station.
We want to give a hat tip to Ashley Rae Goldenberg, who posted the following piece on Medium. Ms Goldberg lists 279 companies who are on record as supporting Black Lives Matter / Antifa / protesters / riots. This is so that the public can make informed decisions about what businesses to patronize, especially if said public does NOT support the rioting and the extremely left-leaning elitism on display. For many of us, the propensity of leftist activists to use anything, even the death of a man, to promote their views is disgusting. A good way for businesses to discover this and get their alignment right is to boycott them.


Comment: Medium has since suspended Ms. Goldenberg's page.


The list includes an archive link that shows what the company named actually said. One can exercise their own good judgement about what they wish to support through their dollars.

So, here is the list, and what Ashley has to say about it, with our own emphasis added.

Comment: And there's more...

Bank of America pledged $1 billion over 4 years to Black Lives Matter.

Wal-Mart pledged $100 Million to 'the movement', and its employees were instructed by its CEO that they must not only comply with Walmart's internal and external changes but must believe in them "authentically and more deeply."

Facebook pledged $10 million to 'racial justice campaigns'.

Money going to BLM's main fund (the "Black Lives Matter Global Fund") goes through ActBlue, which is purportedly a DNC money-laundering group.

Ugly States of America

The United States seems hopelessly riven with division, as the mass protests over the police killing of African-American man George Floyd reveal.

Protesters are calling for police forces accused of systematic racism to be defunded and disbanded. While opponents - many of whom seem to be supporters of President Trump - are calling for a tough law-and-order response to what they view as rioters and subversives.

The sharp tensions have even torn through the offices of the New York Times. Journalists at the paper are in open revolt after it published an opinion piece by Republican Senator Tom Cotton who endorsed Trump's threat to send in troops to quell street demonstrations. Such a presidential move has been condemned as violating the US constitution.

Trump warned that he would deploy army units if states did not bring mass protests under control. Critics say he is using relatively minor incidents of rioting and looting as a cover for invoking federal military powers. There is even the suggestion of Trump angling for some kind of presidential dictatorship, as he overrides the autonomy of individual states.

The president and his supporters accuse Democrat-run states of using the protests as a way to mount sedition against his administration.

This is an echo of earlier claims by the Republican occupant of the White House who has slammed Democrat states for allegedly using the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown as a means to sabotage the economy and therefore his presidency. Trump's call for "liberating" states has sailed close to the wind on being perceived as fomenting armed revolt.

End of Oslo Accords might cost Israel dearly but Palestinians will also suffer

Palestinan leader Abbas will find it hard to keep his word and cancel the historic 1993 agreement, mainly because he's bound by economic, security, and political agreements with Tel Aviv, but Israel's planned annexation of parts of the West Bank might leave him no choice, says a Palestinian expert, warning that both sides will lose from the move.

The head of the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas has warned that Israel's plan to extend sovereignty over parts of the West Bank will lead to the cancellation of the 1993 Oslo Accords that saw the establishment of the PA and presupposed the creation of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.

Although similar threats have been voiced by Abbas before, Nidal Foqaha, Director General of the Palestinian Peace Coalition-Geneva Initiative in Ramallah, believes this time around the president is "dead serious" primarily because Israel's intention to chop off some 30 percent of the predominantly Palestinian West Bank is considered "an existential threat for the PA leadership".

'We bought it to use it, full stop': Turkey awaits MORE S-400s as it activates 1st of its new systems

Ankara is just a few formalities away from receiving a second batch of Russian-made S-400 air defense systems, Turkey's top official in charge of the military industry said, adding that the first batch have been commissioned.

Ankara and Moscow have reached "an agreement in principle" on the second S-400 delivery, Ismail Demir, head of Turkey's Defense Industries, revealed to news outlet NTV this Monday. Both sides are now concluding talks on "technical issues," including technology transfer and joint production of the famed system.

The Turkish military, which received its first S-400 shipment last year, is proceeding to activate them, despite the Covid-19 epidemic still blighting the country, Demir noted. The works to bring the missile systems online will be completed anyway, he affirmed.
As I've always said, if a system is being bought, it is put to use, full stop.

Unstoppable rise of intel agency favourite Keir Starmer shows how UK 'democracy' really works

Sir Keir Starmer's links to Britain's national security establishment are being questioned. But in reality they illustrate that normal service has been resumed in UK 'democracy' and that Labour can again be 'trusted' to govern.

The investigative journalist Matt Kennard has written an open letter to the new Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, asking five questions about his relationship to the national security establishment.

They involve meetings Starmer had with the head of the domestic security service, MI5; his membership of the intelligence-linked Trilateral Commission; his discussions with the US attorney general at a time when Starmer was handling the case of Julian Assange; his role in the Assange case as the public prosecutor; and his relationship with the neocon Times newspaper.

The suggestion is clear: Starmer has been very close to that establishment.

Fed prosecutors make official request to talk with Prince Andrew in Epstein investigation

Federal prosecutors in New York have formally requested through the British government to speak with Prince Andrew as part of their criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's history of sexual abuse, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The request, made under a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, or MLAT, is similar to a subpoena in this case for Prince Andrew's testimony.

It's a rare move to seek an interview like this through MLAT, officials say, and it's focused on making sure the investigation is as thorough as possible.

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman foreshadowed the move in March when he said he would consider legal action after Prince Andrew's representatives had closed the door to an interview.

Hamas issues warning to Israel: Plans to annex West Bank areas 'will be doomed to failure'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s election eve vow to annex the Jordan Valley if he is re-elected has sparked an angry Arab rebuke and injected the Palestinians into a campaign that had almost entirely ignored them.
In late May, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated the 1 July date set out in the country's newly inaugurated coalition agreement for starting the process of extending sovereignty over parts of the West Bank.

The Palestinian movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has warned Israel against plans to extend sovereignty over areas in the West Bank, including the strategic Jordan Valley.

Hamas's Jerusalem Affairs Office said in a statement on Sunday that "Jerusalem will remain a Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic city and the eternal capital of the Palestinian state, and all powers on this planet will not be able to change its identity, address, and history".

The statement added that "the occupation and its plots against Jerusalem and Palestine will be doomed to failure and its conspiracies will not secure a future for its existence on the Palestinian land".

Federal Reserve is creating hyperinflation like in Zimbabwe, Germany's Weimar Republic

Zimbabwe bank note
While the country was distracted with the Covid-19 lockdown and economic crisis, the Federal Reserve made a huge banking requirement change never before done in history. The Fed cut ". . . reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions." (Read for yourself here.) What does this profound change mean? Economist John Williams says,
"The system is bankrupt, and they are just spending the money to prevent an immediate collapse as opposed to having it collapse right now. They have cut reserve rates back to 0%. The bailout of the banking system of the 'Great Recession' didn't work. So, now, they are just printing money and bailing out whatever they have to. People have done this throughout history including the Weimar Republic (Germany hyperinflation) and Zimbabwe (also had hyperinflation). . . . We effectively have a Zimbabwe Fed."
So, the Fed is going to print all the money it needs to bail out every bank that needs one? Williams says,
"That's exactly what they said they are going to do, and not only any bank, but any financial institution, the stock market, and with infinite money, you can do all sorts of things. But guess what? You also get a hyperinflation. They have crossed the line. That's why you want to own physical precious metals."

Best of the Web: Leading purveyor of 'Russiagate' says George Floyd protests are 'just like US-backed color revolutions'

Black lives matter
© Dinendra Haria/ Global Look Press
There is no need to speculate any longer about the odd similarities between 'color revolution' regime change operations overseas and the current protests across the US, when a leading purveyor of 'Russiagate' outright admits it.

What the US is experiencing now is "more like the nonviolent movements that earned broad societal support in places such as Serbia, Ukraine, and Tunisia," the Atlantic's Franklin Foer said on Saturday, in a piece titled 'The Trump Regime Is Beginning to Topple'.

Foer doesn't go into the details of the events in Serbia and Tunisia, and he only brings up Ukraine in the context of the 2013-14 protests that turned violent and resulted in armed militias taking control in Kiev. In his telling, these were all genuine popular movements that overthrew 'dictators', which just so happened to be guided by a 93-page pamphlet written by US political scientist Gene Sharp.
