The Port Sell-Out and the Dismantling of America

Globalists swallowing US sovereignty through front countries like UAE but China threat ignored
Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | February 23 2006


It is a stated goal of the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission and the CFR to promote what they call 'interdependence' and to lobby governments to sell off key infrastructure such as roads, lakes, ports, and highways to international corporations so that corporations can grow to be bigger in size than government. 44 of the world's 100 biggest economies are not countries, they are
corporations. There is no vote, there is no access to shareholder or CEO records. These corporations take over governmental functions by paying off politicians to hand over assets and then declare there to be no means of oversight of their activities.

In 1997 the Communist Chinese government took over the Long Beach Naval Air Base, the only major deep water port that can take large ships on the west coast. In 2000, the Communist Chinese, Hutchinson Whampoa which is run by the PLA, took over the Panama Canal and has stationed between 15,000 and 30,000 troops at the facility.

May we remind our readers that top Chinese generals continue to threaten nuclear attacks on America. There is absolutely no mention of the Chinese takeover of these facilities amidst the media merry-go-round of the UAE ports debate and the same people that now criticize the UAE deal, like
Chuckie Schumer, supported the ports sell-out to the Communist Chinese under Bill Clinton.
Alex Jones' first documentary film America: Destroyed By Design, made in 1997, warned Americans that the sell-out to the Chinese was the first step on the road to the sacking of the American economy and pulling the plug on key US infrastructure.

Why are people so concerned about the United Arab Emirates when the fastest growing military on the planet and a superpower that continually threatens to annihilate the US has been metaphorically handed the keys to the kingdom and is encircling the country? During the Chinese sell-out it was Republican politicians that would bash Bill Clinton for making the deal yet it was yesterday's Republicans and today's Neo-Cons who were affiliated with the companies making millions from the transfer. This is why we are less than confident that Democrats have any real agenda to stop the UAE deal.

Just as now claims of 'Islamophobia' are raised to attack critics of the UAE deal, in 1997 and 2000 it was 'Asianphobia'. This has nothing to do with race, it is a matter of national sovereignty. If American corporations tried to buy up key Chinese infrastructure they would be firmly rebuffed.

As a country we are not just being robbed of our ability to create wealth, we are being robbed of our infrastructure, our land and our capacity to work the land. Your currency, your future and your
sovereignty is systematically being dismantled, looted and sold to the highest bidder. The taxpayer pays for and builds the infrastructure only for foreign lobbyists to pay off corrupt politicians who 'lease' the infrastructure or outright sell it to the foreign lobbyists for 50, 60, 70 years. The continued weakness of the dollar allows foreign entities to step in and buy more and more infrastructure while American families work three or four jobs just to get by.

The United Arab Emirates is a British holding and the British empire is simply re-shuffling some of its marbles. Claims that the UAE has links to terrorism are a distraction. The fact is that the UAE is in the pocket of the Globalists and is simply a front for the Internationalists to swallow up more of American sovereignty.

What we have is an 'oligopoly'. What is an oligopoly? It is where, similar to the Italian mafia, cartels and different corporate owners meet to affect the same thing as a monopoly. They decide which countries will control which interests and that is how the New World Order works.



pain in the brain -Footprints of the elephant
in our living room

By John Kaminski
skylax@comcast.net



The last four or five attempts I've had to promote my views via radio or television (New York, Tehran, Austin), I haven't been able to get my point across sufficiently to change the establishment nature of the program. It's frustrating.

Over and over I keep repeating: It doesn’t matter who gets elected. All that stuff is a waste of time. America will continue to bomb and poison the world no matter who’s in the White House.

Most recently on Jack Blood's Genesis news radio program I attempted to talk about what I believe are two key issues — side streets ... and the elephant in our living room.

As I took a deep breath to explain them more clearly, I was deflected by either commercials, telephone callers, or the unwillingness of the host to "go" to certain places. Of course, that's exactly where the elephant is, in those certain places. Finally, an explosion down the highway on which I was driving forced me to abandon the conversation and navigate through a traffic jam.

So what do I mean by side streets?

These are pressing but not central issues. The conversation on the radio show was about peace demonstrations. I commented that large peace events were nice for meeting people, but didn't accomplish anything, except reinforce the hollow illusion that we have free speech in the USA.

Yet when I make these statements, people turn away. I'm getting to be the most banned writer on the Internet because I say things that others won’t. Others of ability far superior to me have suffered much the same fate over the years. Someone even nominated me for Ezra Pound's cell at St. Elizabeth's and I said I'd be honored.

Ask yourself why I'm not included on certain websites just because I wrote "The Jewish war on freedom of speech." And then ask yourself how much that means in the context of your own life, not to mention your own free speech. Then study the list of who owns what media.

There is a place now in public discourse where people are not allowed to go, and it is reinforced by laws in many countries that prohibit critical commentary about Jews, Zionists, and Israelis.

What we’re seeing is that some of the finer websites on the Net are limiting themselves as to where they can go in regard to freedom of speech, because they don’t want to jeopardize their Jewish financing, or run afoul of mind-locking Holocaust laws that eat away at everyone’s free speech. Amy Goodman and Noam Chomsky fell down this rabbithole long ago, and haven’t been heard from since.

This place where we can’t talk about certain subjects is the same place where the carnage is created. The Iraq war and 9/11 are only the latest manifestations of the same behavior by the same stratum of people who have done this for years, and are now obviously engaged in a fire sale of the planet. What will your street be worth when they’re done with it? Ask an Iraqi now!

Side streets are issues such as chemtrails, global warming, government-issued AIDS, aspartame, anthrax, thimerosal, bogus voting, holographic aircraft, and biotech food that are all worthwhile areas of study, but the problem with them is they take you away from focusing on identifying the culprits, and possibly eliminating the cause of our misery. The time you spend on these side streets takes you away from the time you can spend taking effective action to reverse this course of misery we have been ejected upon by the people who control the money.

And the No. 1 task is identifying the perps and bringing them to justice.

Stay focused. Keep your eye on the ball.

Ever since the original 9/11 skeptics movement vaporized in a huff of aspersion and paranoia, I've been more focused on why the public doesn't and maybe can't receive valid empirical information, and to that end will inject some perspectives on that frightening phenomenon right now.

I've not sufficiently shown the gratitude I have for the many thousands of wonderful e-mails and letters I've received these past four years in response to my humble efforts to describe what is actually going on in the world. 'Bout time I did. Here are a few recent ones that beautifully pertain to the subject at hand.

John -

I usually don't ask you to read something written by a third party - but this time - to further develop your thought in 'Sickness in the static': "Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation. It therefore occurs when there is a need to accommodate new ideas, and it may be necessary for it to develop so that we become "open" to them.

I would like you to read a book called "Descartes Error" by Antonio Damasio. He explains that the lack of ability for US citizens to actually 'see' reality is based on a problem of 'physical pain' in the brain that occurs when someone is faced with 'new learning' that 'contradicts' prior accepted 'knowledge'.

Dr. Damasio says that 'Mind' functions by way of a network of neural synapses in the brain that become literally 'destroyed' - when confronted by new 'knowledge' - They have to be literally broken to bits and rebuilt - and this 'destruction' causes actual physical pain to the individual.

We — as a society — now have become 'pain-adverse' — to the point that we would rather actually 'die' than 'learn' something new — and endure the actual 'pain' of new learning — therefore we are now at absolute mortal risk because of our inability to make life saving 'painful' judgments.

Your library will have a copy — I have sent (below) a hotlink to a series of reviews of the book by medical people who all agree that Dr. Damasio has put his finger on the basis of the problem that disturbs us both.

'Sickness in the static' is wonderful.. Thanks so much...

Fraternally -

Dear John,
 
Thanks for your insights. You may find this of interest:
 
"In the rear occiput of the left lobe of the brain there is small area of brain tissue that is responsible for the individual's power to resist domination...any person who drinks artificially flourinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically."  AND
 
..."the masses can be slowly reduced to slave status by means of covert drug administration (in tap water, chemical food additives, medical products, etc.), subtle microwave bombardment (via ultraviolet lights, telephones, computers, etc.), and above all through the steadily-advancing hypnotic power of the media.  All in all, a program of mass-lobotomization, without the public's knowledge or consent."
 
Not mentioned is the aerosol spraying of substances over large areas by planes, the invidious "contrails". Nor is there specific mention of the damage caused by TV's cathode rays or microwave transmissions.
 
So, there is more to our present calamity than a general lack of character: "cesspool of politics", pathological leaders", and so on.  In fact, there is a a chemical assault on the already purposefully distracted and self-absorbed minds of our population, designed to render it impotent against increasing control by the NWO. Character development is no longer taught by parents or school systems as far as I can tell, rendering the responses to "legitimate criticism" hostile rather than thoughtful.
 
"Stupidity" is steadily being induced in the masses, and sociopathic behavior is furthered among the elites. Control...control.
 
A sorry situation. Best wishes, Bob Alford 

Hi John,
 
I'd like you to have a look at a new 9-11 expose in PDF format designed to simplify the most irrefutable 9-11 facts.  It was written for members of the choir who need an additional tool to educate their friends and family members suffering from cognitive dissonance. See it here: www.tyrannyalert.com
 
You were one of the inspirations for this body of work, and for that I thank you. Regards, Ross <ross@tyrannyalert.com>

And finally this poignant slice of Americana from a thoughtful mind who in this brittle and thoughtless age dares not speak his mind in the company of certain people...

John,

I’m working as a doctor in a typically conservative Pro-Bush area. I can’t publicize my views. But I can pay you to do so. I need to make sure my children have me around for a long time and don’t get carted off by one of our gestapos.

No need to mention the Talmud — just tell Christians to get their Bibles and read the Old Testament again — from start to finish. Then think about the mindset of people who consider ... they are the Israelites. Tell them to read Deuteronomy 20:10-20. There they’ll find Jehovah’s marching orders to the Israelites.

Remember always to emphasize that the source of the problem is the IDEAS of the O.T. — not “Jews” per se. Jews are those most affected by those ideas — but so are Christians and Muslims. Read the pseudonymous essay at www.geocities.com/gergae2004/Writings/Pentateuch.htm

Memes — mankind is the victim of sick ideas that glorify force and thus crowd out ideas that glofiry love and cooperation.

The O.T. must be rejected — and with it Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Needless to say, in these dark days in America, a nation now suddenly proud of its torture practices, this writer remains anonymous, as does freedom for most people. Freedom, a concept no longer relevant in the profitable scheme of things. It’s a real pain in the brain.

Footnote: Deuteronomy 20:10-20

20:10 When you come to a city to fight against it, then first proclaim peace toward it.

20:11 If it answers for peace, and opens its gates to you, then all the people found therein shall be your slaves, and they shall serve you.

20:12 If it won’t make peace, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.

20:13 And when the LORD thy God has delivered it into your hands, you shall kill every male inside with the edge of your sword.

20:14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the fortunes inside, shall you take for yourself; and you shall eat all the good things of your enemy, which the LORD thy God has given you.

20:15 Thus you shall do to every city even faraway which are not among your chosen nations.

20:16 In these cities, which the LORD thy God gives you for an inheritance, you shall leave nothing left alive:

20:17 But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God has commanded you ....
