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

. . . . . .

Santilli explains that his knowledge of Rex 84 provides that within the document, one of the scenarios that would cause a complete suspension of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and implement martial law would be a financial collapse. He says once the collapse occurs, the US government and defense agencies estimate they have a 72 hour window to activate all procedures to ensure continuity of government as well as a lockdown of the general population as civilian unrest, riots and outbreaks of violence are anticipated.

. . . . . .

The Deutsche Bank informant says that the cause for the bailout of the banks was a large sum of cash needed quickly to repay China who had purchased large quantities of mortgage-backed securities that went belly-up when the global scam was realized. When China realized that they had been duped into buying worthless securitized loans which would never be repaid, they demanded the actual property instead. The Chinese were prepared to send their “people” to American shores to seize property as allocated to them through the securitized loan contracts.

Phi Beta Iota:   On the Chinese receiving a payoff (as well as the Russians), probably–perhaps a third.  Explicit death threats against Goldman Sachs owners and others in Wall Street were in the air at the time.  Unlike the “control fraud” that characterizes the US Government, the Chinese and Russians know their bankers by name, and hold them accountable for fraud.  On martial law: probably but ineffectively.  The US Government is rapidly approaching its limits.  It is not possible to micro-manage complexity in collapse.  What the US Government (and the Department of Homeland Security specificially) should be doing is accelerating local resilience as fast as possible –all stop on the industrial-era prok, full-speed ahead on everything that makes local water, food, energy, and health a reality.

 

NIGHTWATCH: Syrian Alawites in Fight to the Death (or Exile) – Phi Beta Iota: The Era of MINORITY Rule by Violence Is OVER

Civil Society, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Culture, Ethics, Government, P2P / Panarchy, Politics

Syria: On 6 August, just days after the government declared Damascus nearly rid of rebel fighters, a bomb detonated on the third floor of Syria's state television and radio building in Damascus, leaving several people injured, according to Syrian state television.

Comment: The Syria opposition's tactics resemble those of the Afghan mujahedin who fought the Soviet forces. As long as they remained diffuse and confederated, they never presented a center of mass or central structure that the Soviets could target. They could execute bombings and ambushes at will, but never win the conflict until massive US, Saudi, and Pakistani assistance to the “muj” made the fight too expensive for Moscow to sustain.

A major difference is the Damascus government has no safe haven to which to retreat. Syria's information minister denounced Saudi Arabia and Qatar for providing individual weapons and ammunition but said the weapons are not sufficient to bring down the government. Small arms and individual weapons fail.

Politics. Prime Minister Riad Hijab, a Sunni Arab, defected and fled to neighboring Jordan, a Jordanian official and a rebel spokesman said Monday. Supposedly several other ministers and some more one-star generals defected as well.

Comment: These defections signify that Syria's Sunni elite, which heretofore has cooperated with the Alawites, has now rejected President Asad's reform program. Hijab was named prime minister as part of the political reform program. This increasingly becomes a fight to the death for the Alawites, who are holding on and holding together.

Phi Beta Iota:  Politically-speaking, the Industrial Era has been characterized by artificial boundaries imposed at the point of many weapons, with minorities elevated to serve as proxy rulers for their colonial benefactors, who nurtured corruption and tolerated genocide as acceptable costs of control and resource capture.  That era is now over.  It will take 50 years – a half century – for the 5,000 secessionist movements world-wide (27 of them in the USA) to assume their inherent independence under natural law, but this is inevitable.  Repressing publics with force is no longer affordable.  Integrity and legitimacy – as well as demographics – will define the 21st Century.

Richard Wright: Thomas Barnett on TMilitary Industrial Complex Fantasy AirSea Battle

As he has gotten older , Barnett has gotten a lot wiser. He has put together a really good analysis of the current U.S. military strategic thinking or lack thereof.

The self-serving Military Industrial Complex fantasy that is AirSea Battle

Thomas Barnett

Nice WAPO piece (by Greg Jaffe, of course) on the great COIN counterattack that is the AirSea Battle.  As scenario work goes, what CSBA has done in its war-games has to rank right up there with the most egregiously implausible efforts ever made to justify arms build-ups.  These games, done for Andrew Marshall's Office of Net Assessment, enthusiastically embrace what I have long dubbed the exceedingly narrow “war within the context of war” mindset – purposefully zeroing out all outside existing reality that readily contradicts the core operational concepts behind AirSea Battle.

Former Comptroller General David Walker, Wall Street Trojan Horse, Rides Again – The Bus Tour to Distract the Public From Electoral Reform

UPDATED 8 August 2012 with comments from Common Cause, others.

Buyer Beware – A New York Shill Takes to the Highway

The Hon. David M. Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General, today announced a first-of-its-kind national bus tour to engage Americans about our nation's deteriorating financial condition ­ and show them what they can do to help restore fiscal sanity.

The “$10 Million a Minute Tour” will help voters understand that we face a fiscal cliff in January 2013 and a possible U.S. debt crisis within the next two years.

ROBERT STEELE: David Walker quit his job as Comptroller General at year 9 of a 15 year appointment.  He substituted loyalty for integrity in failing to publicly challenge the deregulation of the banking industry in the Clinton Administration (1999, perhaps feeling too new to the office he was given), and when he finally did sound the alarm in 2007 on the fiscal crisis, he failed to publicly challenge the two presidential candidates, then sitting Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, for failing to heed his alarm.

He accepted a golden parachute offer from Peter Peterson, a Wall Street magnate, and has done little of value since leaving the government in 2008, the highlights being a mediocre website, a movie nobody has seen, and a rather nice back-door beefing up of the Wikipedia Page on Balance Budget, something that was reprinting in ELECTION 2008: Lipstick on the Pig (2008).

Reagan Assistant Secretary of Commerce Paul Craig Roberts: Friday’s Jobs Report: More Lies From “our” Big Brother

EXTRACT:

In his report on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs and unemployment report, statistician John Williams (shadowstats.com) writes: “The July employment and unemployment numbers published today, August 3rd, were worthless and likely misleading. . . .

The government that lies to you about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, about Iraq’s al Qaeda connections, about the Taliban in Afghanistan, about Osama bin Laden, about Libya and Gadhafi, about Iranian nukes, about Syria, about Pakistan, about Yemen and Somalia, about Bradley Manning, about Julian Assange and Wikileaks, indeed about everything under the sun, also lies to you about jobs, unemployment, economic recovery, GDP growth, 9/11, the “terrorist threat,” everything. Try to find anything that the government has said over the past 6 presidential terms that is not a lie.

Huh?

Have you ever wondered why the CPI, GDP and employment numbers run counter to your personal and business experiences? The problem lies in biased and often-manipulated government reporting.

Primers on Government Economic Reports What you've suspected but were afraid to ask. The story behind unemployment, the Federal Deficit, CPI, GDP.

Phi Beta Iota:  The public is a power that can be manipulated, lied to, abused, and generally ignored–up to a a point.  It is also a power that cannot be repressed when it explodes in self-awareness.  One soccer mom torching herself–of 18 veterans who will commit suicide on any one day, but doing so together on the steps of Capital Hill, will rock the USA.

Bob Seelert, Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide (New York): When things are not going well, until you get the truth out on the table, no matter how ugly, you are not in a position to deal with it.

Conflicts of Interest and Revolving Doors that Affect Health and Well Being

This important article has various examples of government/private industry revolving door employment and conflicts of interest in the medical industrial complex that can and has killed people.

Example of revolving door from it:

“Joining a parade of other high-ranking government officials who pass through the revolving doors between government and Big Pharma, [Julie] Gerberding [former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—an agency charged with overseeing vaccines and drug companies] left a trail of controversy behind her when she left the CDC. While a 2009 article by the Institute for Southern Studies lists a number of them, I believe they left out the most important ones, namely her misinformation campaign about the pandemic swine flu vaccine, as well as her naive stance on vaccine safety issues in general.
