The United States of America, shining city on a hill. The exceptional nation; a dream sold to many. From what was it made? The backs of slaves, the blood of natives; the lives of millions. The country we knew never existed. A secret government grew; power concentrated.

Some tried to show us a better way - and were stopped. Special forces, psychological operations, social engineering. America convinced many of its righteousness - its goals.

Citizens programmed. The world in its spell by individuals that rule; whose names we do not know, and allegiances hard to fathom - a revival of past intentions, a bid for total control. The experiment refined; this time larger; using old methods and new ones.

The danger is growing. The American Empire is falling. And taking everything it can down with it.

America has been the great pretender since the coup in 1963 .... the world wanted coca cola and levis, the illusion of freedom dressed up in fizzy water and workers apparel.

The image was bolstered by American films & TV and doped up sporting achievements

The world was fed on the technical marvels of "going to the moon" and the array of weapons for killing Asians

And how did they get away with all this .... the Soviet Union

The sponsors may not like it but can you really assess America post the coup without taking into account the "bad guy" posed by the USSR?

HashAttack2 yes and now we have idiots who are trying to do it again with Trump as the patsy with his stupid choices... A part of me thinks he's doing it on purpose to make Russia look bad. He isn't properly addressing the lies, in some cases not mentioning the obvious lies, hmmmmm

These days, the evil bogeyman is "terrorism". But they rather us think "we were always at war with Eurasia"

Pretending is the 'democractic' way of deceiving your home market... otherwise, it's the same show as usual, no matter whose name is put on top.

The fake torch of liberty, shinning forth into the world, has cast many shadows and boogie men. Self righteous, the right to determine the needs of others, is the greatest of human errors. Hurry up and just go, and when your gone, goodbye, and good riddance.

Americas Fall

While I’ve never been particularly enamored with Steppenwolf, I did love their thought provoking song which I’ve always thought of as ‘Monster’ but which apparently is more properly named as below. [I see this song was released on 11/1/69; when I was 10, and which I really shouldn’t know as a contemporaneous thing, but I did, for I grew up with big brothers’ big brothers, which had me well ‘into’ such music -(E.g. I found myself looking forward to The Who’s next album after Tommy (1969?) - ( which was either ‘Live at Leeds’ or ‘Who’s Next?’; I forget.)

I always did see this song as indicative of where the U.S. was going, and, for what it’s worth, it well describes what we were then becoming, and well anticipates what now we have fully become. I then - and still - find its lyrics, (as below) both thoughtful -particularly its acknowledgment of the West’s modern theft and destruction of what North America was before 1492 (or whenever) - and relevant to what I saw in America as it morphed into the AmeriKa, under whose crushing weight of ten Infinitillion Twinkies, etc., most American Idiots now suffer, while believing same to be the supposed bliss that comes with ignorance.

And such is not for me; nor other SOTT folk, I’m sure.

Monster / Suicide / America

(Kay, Nick St. Nicholas, Byrom, Edmonton)

Steppenwolf

Monster

Once the religious, the hunted and weary

Chasing the promise of freedom and hope

Came to this country to build a new vision

Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope

Like good Christians some would burn the witches

Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America

They came by thousands, to court the wild

But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child

To be their spirit, and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken

Westward in saddle and wagon they went

And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean

Many the lives which had come to an end

While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland

We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America

They came by thousands, to court the wild

But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child

To be their spirit, and guiding light

The blue and gray they stomped it

They kicked it just like a dog

And when the war was over

They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice

Kind was the spirit in many a way

But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping

Now it's a monster and will not obey

Suicide

The spirit was freedom and justice

And it's keepers seemed generous and kind

It's leaders were supposed to serve the country

But now they won't, pay it no mind

'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy

Now their vote is a meaningless joke

They babble about law and order

But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into the noose

And it just sits there watchin'

The cities have turned into jungles

And corruption is stranglin' the land

The police force is watching the people

And the people just can't understand

We don't know how to mind our own business

'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us

Now we are fighting a war over there

No matter who's the winner, we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into the noose

And it just sits there, watching

America

America, where are you now?

Don't you care about your sons and daughters?

Don't you know, we need you now

We can't fight alone against the monster

Repeat....

R.C.

I think I’ll listen to it for the first time in well more than two? decades? Whatever.

Hi,

Like coming into a cinema when the movie is half over, it's very hard to know the plot that is taking place in the West today.

So, to understand the mess the West is in, we must look at the script they have been brainwashed with for almost 2000 years, the Hebrew Bible. You must debrief yourself and remove your ecclesiastic glasses before you read the First Protocol of the Elder of Zion, found in Genesis chapter 47. You need to read it a few times before the dime drops. Here you will find the 3000 year old modus operandi that Jews have used against non Jews - MIDDLEMAN between the RULER and the RULED.

Why didn't we see it?

To understand the Jew you must first understand the Jewel Wasp!

Google: The Jewel Wasp and The Cockroach.

See how this parasite turns its victim into a zombie!

The Jew has done the same to the non Jew with the help of their Bible, Hollywood, Jewish controlled publishing and media and Shabbos goys.

TALMUDIC JEWISH ZIONIST SUPREMACISM

[Supremacism is the worldview that a particular age, race, species, ethnicity, religion, gender, social class, ideology, nation, or culture is superior to other variations of that trait, and it advocates that those who identify with it dominate, control, and subjugate those who do not.]

Leon Trotsky, whose real name was Leyba Davidovich Bronstein, said:

“We must turn Russia into a desert populated by white Negroes upon whom we shall impose a tyranny such as the most terrible Eastern despots never dreamt of. The only difference is that this will be a left-wing tyranny, not a right-wing tyranny. It will be a red tyranny and not a white one. We mean the word ‘red’ literally, because we shall shed such floods of blood as will make all the human losses suffered in the capitalist wars quake and pale by comparison. The biggest bankers across the ocean will work in the closest possible contact with us. If we win the revolution, we shall establish the power of Zionism upon the wreckage of the revolution’s funeral, and we shall became a power before which the whole world will sink to its knees. We shall show what real power is. By means of terror and bloodbaths, we shall reduce the Russian intelligentsia to a state of complete stupefaction and idiocy and to an animal existence... At the moment, our young men in their leather jackets, who are the sons of watchmakers from Odessa, Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitsa, know how to hate everything Russian! What pleasure they take in physically destroying the Russian intelligentsia — officers, academics and writers!...”

[As recorded in the Memoirs of Aron Simanovich, a jeweller at the court of the Tsar’s Imperial Majesty, secretary of Rasputin and quoted in numerous Russian scholarly works, including The Nature of Zionism By Vladimir Stepin, published (in Russian) in Moscow, 1993 and translated into English (for Radio Islam) by Clive Lindhurst.]

ZIONISM

What is Zionism? And why does it give rise to such contradictory emotions, depending on whether the person is a Zionist or, because he is subjected to the effects of Zionism, knows what it is like to experience it and thus has at least some understanding of what it consists of? Let us first try to look into these questions. Let me state at the outset that, in using the term “Zionism”, I will be referring not merely to the political tendency (or movement) which officially took shape at the end of the 19th century. No, what I am talking about is rather the ideology upon which that modern Zionist tendency is really based and which existed long before the founders of modern Zionism (Hess in 1862, Pinsker in 1882, Herzl in 1896, Ahad Ha-Am in 1902, Jabotinsky in 1906) published their views. (Well, my point is that modern Zionism is based not only on “Shana Haba B’yerushalayim” — “Next Year in Jerusalem” — which is the wish that Jews say at their Passover sedarim...)

This ideology has led to Zionism being practiced through the centuries and is still menacingly active today... The foundations of Zionism were formulated in ancient times, some three thousand years ago, and they are:

1. The Jews are God’s chosen people. 2. All other peoples are merely two-legged animals (goys). 3. The Jews have both the right and the obligation to rule the world.

The second and third points of this three-in-one formula actually follow from the first. The formula, which was the brainchild of an undoubtedly very talented politician of ancient times, was among the foundations of the religion of Judaism (see the Book of Deuteronomy in the TORAH/Old Testament). At that time people understood very well that if one is to lend force to one’s intentions, one must express them as religious ideas. And one must also strengthen not only the religion but also its influence on people. Another reason why this ancient Zionist formula is, I would say, a stroke of genius is that, irrespective of religion, it is a most powerful way of influencing a person who believes that he belongs to the chosen people (in this case Jewish people). The only point is that if — as has been possible in recent times — he does not believe in religion, then the words “God’s chosen people” are replaced by “the people chosen by nature” or simply by “the chosen people”. And if someone’s opinions have not yet become firmly fixed, it is so easy, merely by a little application, to convince him that he is a member of what, in terms of intelligence, talent, audacity, etc., is the best of all nations, and that no other nation is fit to hold a candle to that one nation.

And, of course, it is impossible to persuade Zionists to change their views, because this formula was instilled into most of them in probably early childhood. Even Jews who may have broken with Talmudic Judaism and its traditions nevertheless imbibed some of its values and transposed them onto modern politics. As Gentiles, we do not of course agree with the idea that we are two-legged animals, even if some of us (like so-called Christian fundamentalists, dispensationalists, Christian Zionists) have been led to believe that the Jews are indeed the “chosen” people and have the ability and the right to rule the world... Another point is that the power of this three-in-one formula lies in that it legitimizes and sanctifies the idea of conquering, oppressing, perhaps even exterminating other nations. It goes like this:

“Why need we care about two-legged animals? If we are the chosen people and it is our inalienable right, and even our duty, to rule other peoples, then God himself ordered us to grow rich at their expense, as the saying goes.”

(Well, just read the Book of Deuteronomy in the Hebrew Bible, everything is there, and it’s Judaism’s holy of the holiest — it’s TORAH)

In this way ideology is placed on a material basis. Rob and rule! Rule and rob! Riches and power!

From the time this formula begins to operate, it becomes both a means and an end, but it nevertheless also becomes a more important means, a means for attaining the main objective contained in the third item of the formula:

the Jewish people must have, and will have, undivided, absolute power over the whole world.

“You’d have to be a recent immigrant from Outer Mongolia not to know of the role that people with Jewish names play in the coarsening of our culture. Almost every American knows this. It is just that most gentiles are too polite to mention it.”

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin, “Our Worst Enemy”, Toward Tradition, January 20, 2005]

This is Jewish moral particularism combined with a profound sense of historical grievance — hatred by any other name — against European civilization and a desire for the end of Europe with its traditional ethnic base. According to Jewish supremacists, the menaces of “extremism, hate and fundamentalism” — prototypically against Jews — can only be repaired by jettisoning the traditional cultural and ethnic basis of European civilization. And Russia and Germany would be examples, among many.

My research lead me to believe that this Jewish hatred toward non-Jews emerged as a consistent theme throughout the ages, beginning in the ancient world. The Roman historian Tacitus already noted that:

“Among themselves they are inflexibly honest and ever ready to show compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies.”

The eighteenth-century English historian Edward Gibbon was struck by the fanatical hatred of Jews in the ancient world: “From the reign of Nero to that of Antoninus Pius, the Jews discovered a fierce impatience of the dominion of Rome, which repeatedly broke out in the most furious massacres and insurrections. Humanity is shocked at the recital of the horrid cruelties which they committed in the cities of Egypt, of Cyprus, and of Cyrene, where they dwelt in treacherous friendship with the unsuspecting natives; and we are tempted to applaud the severe retaliation which was exercised by the arms of the legions against a race of fanatics, whose dire and credulous superstition seemed to render them the implacable enemies not only of the Roman government, but of human kind.”

[Edward Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter 16, p. 78.]

The nineteenth-century Spanish historian José Amador de los Rios wrote of the Spanish Jews who assisted the Muslim conquest of Spain that:

“without any love for the soil where they lived, without any of those affections that ennoble a people, and finally without sentiments of generosity, they aspired only to feed their avarice and to accomplish the ruin of the Goths; taking the opportunity to manifest their rancor, and boasting of the hatreds that they had hoarded up so many centuries.”

[Quoted in William Thomas Walsh, Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader (New York: Robert M. McBride, 1930), p. 196.]

And in 1913, economist Werner Sombart, in his classic book Jews and Modern Capitalism, summarized Judaism as:

“a group by themselves and therefore separate and apart — this from the earliest antiquity. All nations were struck by their hatred of others.”

[Sombart, Jews and Modern Capitalism (New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Books, 1913/1982 reprint), p. 240.]

PURE UNADULTERATED HATE:

Examples:

“If a heathen (Gentile) hits a Jew, the Gentile must be killed, hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God” [Sanhedrin 58b].

“When a Jew murders a Gentile (“Cuthean”), there will be no death penalty, and what a Jew steals from a Gentile he may keep” [Sanhedrin 57a.].

“Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed (Tob shebe goyyim harog)” [Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10].

The Talmudic rabbis believed that in the eyes of God, Jew and Gentile were not equal.

[Norman F. Cantor, The Sacred Chain: The History of the Jews (New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1994), pp.107-108]

In the eyes of World Jewry, anyone but a Jew, is a heathen, a goy, or a cuthean, — all terms of contempt. The well-known Jewish author, Josef Kastein, states (in History and Destiny of the Jews, p. 211) that:

“the laws of the Talmud proved exceedingly efficacious in binding the Jewish people together”, and that the Talmud was “carried with them everywhere” and “became their home”.

The reputation of the Talmud among liberal and secular Jews, especially in the United States, has undergone a big change in the direction of a highly favorable attitude in the past few decades. By the 1970s the Talmud was nostalgically seen by many secular Jews as belonging to the mainstream of what was good in the Jewish tradition. An Israeli Talmudic scholar, Aldin Steinsaltz, published a short, enthusiastic book called The Essential Talmud. An American paperback translation of it appeared in 1976 and has since gone through eleven printings. The Talmud had become a coffee-table book for suburban Jewish America!

[Norman F. Cantor, The Sacred Chain: The History of the Jews (New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1994), pp.102-103]

But when I asked some Jews about these quotes, I was given different answers. I heard everything from an angry, defensive “no, there is no such thing in the Talmud” to “there are words like that but they mean something else,” to (seriously) “you don’t want to know.” And, of course, throughout it all, I was accused of being an “anti-Semite” for even asking the questions. It is just ridiculous! It is exactly what Prof. Finkelstein described as “beyond chutzpah”.

"THE JEWISH TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD”!

The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud published in 1935 was "Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices" by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.', Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the "Foreword" for the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England. The world's leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-for-word translation of the original texts. In his famous classic "The History of the Talmud," Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states:

"THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence...IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time. IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS

CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH..."

SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a: "What is meant by this? - Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? - Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilt (upon the actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains: Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be bestiality abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5)."

This "divine truth" which "a whole people venerate" of which "not a single letter of it is missing" and today "is flourishing to such a degree as cannot be found in its history" is illustrated by the additional verbatim quotations which follow:

SANHEDRIN, 69b "Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai says, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declares her fit...All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old.

KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as `a girl who is injured by a piece of wood' ". (footnotes) "(5). Lit., `says'. (6) Lit., `here', that is, less than three years old. (7) Tears come to the eyes again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years."

KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood(a dildo)." (footnotes) "(1) Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood."

DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHO IT IS WHO IS POLLUTING THE WORLD WITH THEIR FILTH?
