Bunkerville, Nevada: the 21rst Century Lexington, MA?

The Feds may have bit off more than they can chew if the number of militia members – 5,000, outnumbering by a wide margin the number of federal law enforcers – in article and video is correct. This might be the place where the Second American Revolution against the 1% starts, unless Obama's BLM storm troopers back off:

“An area just outside of the little town of Bunkerville, Nevada, with a population of around a thousand people, may go down in history. This little spot in the desert may be compared with Lexington, Massachusetts, the site of the “shot heard round the world” – the first shot fired in the American Revolution. Because it looks like the second American Revolution may start there…and soon.

SchwartzReport: Can USG Tell the Truth?

Corruption, Government

One of the several areas in which President Obama has been a failure is his capitulation to special interests in and outside of government who seek to coverup their misdeeds through disinformation campaigns. Basically, just as the Bush administration could not be trusted, one cannot trust anything said by the Obama government concerning controversial foreign events.

Berto Jongman: Paul Krugman Reviews Thomas Pikerty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century — The New Guilded Age

Commercial Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence

Why We’re in a New Gilded Age

Paul Krugman

New York Review of Books, 8 May 2014

EXTRACT

Capital in the Twenty-First Century is, as I hope I’ve made clear, an awesome work. At a time when the concentration of wealth and income in the hands of a few has resurfaced as a central political issue, Piketty doesn’t just offer invaluable documentation of what is happening, with unmatched historical depth. He also offers what amounts to a unified field theory of inequality, one that integrates economic growth, the distribution of income between capital and labor, and the distribution of wealth and income among individuals into a single frame.

. . . . . . .

Piketty ends Capital in the Twenty-First Century with a call to arms—a call, in particular, for wealth taxes, global if possible, to restrain the growing power of inherited wealth. It’s easy to be cynical about the prospects for anything of the kind. But surely Piketty’s masterly diagnosis of where we are and where we’re heading makes such a thing considerably more likely. So Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an extremely important book on all fronts. Piketty has transformed our economic discourse; we’ll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way we used to.

John Maguire: Stockholm Syndrome of the Soul – Proto-Intelligence for the Evolution of Collective Thought

Cultural Intelligence

*A Stockholm Syndrome of the Soul: Proto-Intelligence for the Evolution of Collective Thought*

*Preface*

“[Nothing] is [certain]. There is so much mystery involving consciousness…these are just ideas to play around with and to entertain rather than [some] new form of certitude.”

– Jeremy Narby, Anthropologist and Author of The Cosmic Serpent

This book is not the fulfillment of some grail quest meant to discover an elusive, unifying theory of everything. Nothing enclosed here is gospel because monopolies on truth do not exist. All theories and all philosophies, no matter how coherent, are inherently limited in one way or another. At this particular juncture in evolutionary history, it would appear the true nature of reality still remains far too vast to fully comprehend; its scope seemingly impossible to encapsulate within any one framework.

USAR, 100th Division Training, Fort Knox and Blue Grass Army Chemical Weapons Depot, both Kentucky bases: decorated veteran, 19D, Calvary Scout.

EXTRACT

Journalists Jeffrey Silverman and Lika Moshiashvili are credited with having discovered the secret and illegal operations taking place in the US-controlled Central Reference Laboratory (CPHRL) in the Tbilisi suburb the Alekseevka Settlement.”As soon as this scary information was made known to the public, Georgia & World contacted Tbilisi based American journalist and researcher Jeffrey Silverman.

. . . . . . .

A number of labs, strewn across Eastern Europe, are linked like an umbilicial cord to the Biological Weapons Proliferation Prevention (BWPP) programme and various projects within it. This programme provides a cover for what is most likely an offensive programme. If the strains they are investigating turn out to be antibiotic resistant, this implies they are conducting ongoing research into special organisms that can eat bacteria and attack infections that are antibiotic resistant, which can be quickly accessed. Whoever has the capacity to release these controls the bioweapons battlefield.

David Swensson: Just How Stupid Is The US Public?

War For Dummies

Sorry for the headline if it got you hoping for a quick 1-step guide on how to bomb a country without breaking a sweat. I didn't actually mean that I could teach a dummy to wage a war. I meant that only dummies want to wage wars.

Need proof?

Check out a recent Washington Post report.

Now there I go misleading you again. While it's true that the editors of the Washington Post are often dummies and often want wars to be waged, that's not what I mean right now. I think members of the U.S. government and its obedient media constitute an important but tiny exception to the rule this report points to.

The facts as reported on April 7th are these:

13% of us in the United States want our government to use force in Ukraine;
16% of us can accurately identify Ukraine's location on a map;
the median error by Americans placing Ukraine on a map is 1,800 miles;
some Americans, based on where they identified Ukraine on a map, believe that Ukraine is in the United States, some say it's in Canada, some Africa, some Australia, some Greenland, some Argentina, Brazil, China, or India;
only a small number believe Ukraine is in an ocean.

And here's the interesting bit:
