Military tacticians and historians often make use of the term ‘tip of the spear.’ It refers to a combat force that is used to puncture the enemy’s initial lines of defense, to be quickly followed by concentrated forces which destroy any remaining threat.
Tactically, the tip of the spear is a bit of a blitzkrieg– an unexpected onslaught of firepower and destruction that takes the enemy by surprise, scatters his resources, and fractures his morale.
I’m convinced that what we’re seeing right now from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the tip of the spear in the government’s battle for increased control of the public.
The groundwork has been laid for years– legislation empowering the TSA has gradually eroded civil liberties to the point that airports in the United States have now become ‘no rights’ zones. “Please remove your shoes” has now become “Take out your prosthetic breast so I can check it for explosives.”
Passengers who show up to an airport in the United States are now given two options: (a) go through the radiation bath [don't worry, the government says it's safe...] and let the TSA see you naked, or (b) let the TSA thugs grope you and fondle your children’s genitals.
This is not enhanced security protocol, this is a systematic desensitization to government intrusion. The idea is to get people used to new procedures, then continue to add more layers of government control.
If Americans were more thoughtful and less gullible, they might wonder why all the emphasis on transportation when there are so many soft targets. Shopping centers, for example. If there were enough terrorists in America to justify the existence of Homeland Security, bombs would be going off round the clock in shopping malls in every state. The effect would be far more terrifying than blowing up an airliner.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, if terrorists want to attack air travelers, they never need to board an airplane.
All they need to do is to join the throngs of passengers waiting to go through the TSA scanners and set off their bombs. The TSA has conveniently assembled the targets.
Who is cowing Americans into submission, terrorists or the TSA Gestapo?
So I guess this means that Clinton, Bush Sr and Jr and Obama have all conspired to turn this country into a police state as the author indicates that this has been in the planning stages for years. Amazing how they all managed to cooperate in this event given they can't even say hello to one another without vomiting
ReplyDeleteClinton, Bushies and Bama are all puppets doing the "face" work necessary for the multi-national corporations and the elite international billionaires
ReplyDeleteOff subject.
ReplyDeleteA foreign observer says :
I would just like to remind those living at the center of the universe that peaceful nations do not actually support Thanksgiving.
Original Thanksgiving celebrates the help neighborly help given to starving Christian colonialists to survive in a strange land that was given by humanitarian non Christian native peoples of America.
It is rumored that the Natives even bought a turkey to kill and fruits of the land to share for a celebratory feast of survival by the settlers. The turkey was killed and the fruits eaten and shared by all settlers and Indians as fellow humans .
In following years the settlers thought such a party was fun, but would be even more fun if they did not have to share the turkeys and fruits of the land with the natives.
In fact they thought , these thankful good Christians,that it it would be better to just forget about the sharing with the natives stuff altogether ,but to claim the land and the fruits thereof ,to not only kill the turkeys but the kill the Indians off too.
Thus doing away with sharing in the new individualist settler Americanism culture
And have an have an annual hymn singing prayer chanting Christian all the family “ho down shindig “to celebrate “Gods gifts” to the American settlers and their new way of life.
But it is strange, that to this day even other Christians of other lands ,or peaceful nations of other kinds ,have not adopted the practice of supporting the success of genocide as a festival to thank the lord for another successful crusade.
Atheists and other simple minded non-religious, consider the Thanksgiving festival as just another example of American barbaric culture a strange cult celebrating robbery of the native peoples, as not having any basis in genuine Christianity of "the love thy neighbor" type.
12:47, you're history is not accurate. The pilgrims never once attacked the natives. The very first encounter they had with Squanto, the settlers went out with a few soldiers and saw natives. They were scared of them and had minor stand off in which the natives walked away, considering how desperate the settlers were. The pilgrims had no bad intentions with them, and eventually Squanto came and mysteriously spoke English.
ReplyDeleteAfter he introduced them to his people they all became very good friends. The European descents, the 'Americans', even remained friends with them after the Revolutionary War. The Native Americans and African Americans alike fought in equal numbers against the British Colonialists.
The Founding Fathers made it a law that nobody was to ever be hostile toward natives, and the only regions tht were American were the colonies. This peace lasted until Andrew Jackson came in and declared Manifest Destiny, he also made it law that the Natives were subhuman. This is where the first real horrors came against the natives.
It was government that demanded it, not Christians. People got rich from what was taken in the expansion west. Churches in America, which at first were symbols of freedom from the European religious tyranny became corrupted as they then said Natives were without souls.
Cortez did a fine job 200 years earlier giving the Aztecs (25 million population) the small pox which brought their population down to one million within a single year. The Mesoamericans had their historical records damaged by the Spaniards, later down the rode the frontiersmen would also erase the history of the plains indians, Cherokee, Iroqoui, Apache, Lakota, etc. (all 300+ civilizations that existed there).
So the first theory was that the natives got there by crossing the Bering Strait. Nope. Some did, but some also took ships from Egypt, some from Gaul, some from Briton, some from Phoenicia, some from Carthage...
Hittite writing was found in a Native American mound. Those fools came from Europe and Asia way before the Vikings even came! Blame government on this atrocity.
But I bet your foreign stupidity is asking your government for more intervention rather than having people do the work the government always spoils? Idiot. I could only wish to wonder what country you are from, and then tell you all about your history (which you probably don't know yourself).
Thanksgiving was also not started with the pilgrims, it was Hebrew, the pilgrims decided to use this holiday as a symbol for a Biblical victory the Israelies supposedly had against the Canaans... since they were lucky enough to survive such an daring adventure. They were happy for life, not angry at anything, not regretting the loved ones they lost but looking forward to the new life that they had with them.
I'm not a Christian either, I'm more like a mix between a Taoist and a Gnostic.
Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving. Oh wait, your crap nation doesn't have enough food to have holidays.
so thats your non chritian Gnosic taoist history begining with ancient phoenecians and where Indians spoke english!

Actualy the laws and freedoms of the licenced british settler trade and plantation corporations were only what the king of England authorised as the Sovereign.
