The Trans-Pacific Partnership, forged in secrecy by globalist-corporate insiders, must be stopped, By Green Shadow Cabinet, June 17, 2013

Nix TPPNote: I’m featuring this commentary by the Green Party ‘Shadow Cabinet’ on the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership ‘Agreement’—which I had actually never even heard about— for a couple of reasons: 1) with one or two exceptions, the Green positions on TPP are identical with any libertarian or small-government capitalist argument, and 2) I wanted to show to my Libertarian Party contingent the opportunities afforded to us by forming a ‘shadow’ or alternative government… to show the world how we would do things much better.

History of the Collective vendetta vs. the self
by Jon Rappoport (from Nomorefakenews.com)

Escape Matrix“What is finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It’s the individual that’s finished. It’s the single, solitary human being that’s finished. It’s every single one of you out there that’s finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals.

Dark VictoryJudith: I’ve never taken orders from anyone. As long as I live, I’ll never take orders from anyone. I’m young and strong and nothing can touch me.

[Colleague: Are you quitting because you've lost your nerve?]
Dr. Frederick Steele: I’m not quitting, I’m returning to medicine, have a little lab up north in Vermont.
[Colleague: How many men would give their eye teeth for a practice you're throwing away? What is this research?]
Dr. Steele: Cells. Brain cells. Why do healthy normal cells go berserk and grow wild, do you know? Nobody knows! But they call them cysts and lyomas and tumors and cancers, and we operate and hope to cure with an eyeful but half the time we don’t even know the root cause. Our patients have faith in us because we’re doctors… I’m done. Continue reading →

The Matrix in our time: the state as video family
by Jon Rappoport (from Nomorefakenews.com)

Individual_v_StateIn the 1950s, before television had numbed minds and turned them into jelly, there was a growing sense of: the Individual versus the Corporate State.

Something needed to be done. People were fitting into slots. They were surrendering their lives in increasing numbers. They were carving away their own idiosyncrasies and their independent ideas.

Collectivism wasn’t merely a Soviet paradigm. It was spreading like a fungus at every level of American life. It might fly a political banner here and there, but on the whole it was a social phenomenon and nightmare. Continue reading →
