Steve Lendman has a couple of articles worth reading (his last two entries, I don’t have a direct link). The real world where assassins and murderers operate, and the American human rights abuse.

There is no doubt that most of us live on entirely different realities. What we perceive, see, hear and even feel is very much different then what others see, hear and feel. There is a shadowy world inhabited by hordes of goons and their victims that lies beneath ‘our’ daily reality.

This layering of worlds, one laid on top of the other, is actually very deep, with multiple levels. What we “normal” people perceive and react to, is very much different to what other people at other levels are perceiving and reacting to.

I don’t suppose this is really news if you’ve read much. But we often don’t think about it, because we’re stuck in our own bubbles of reality. This isn’t really news either, but now that I’ve reminded you of these two points, here’s what I’m driving at: What do you suppose is going to happen as our collapse deepens with these other layers? Where do those people go? What do they do? Essentially, what becomes of them and how does it relate to the rest of us?

Does their reality go away? Does their very different worldview and lifestyle actually disappear? Or does it continue? Who are their next victims, their next targets?

If this doesn’t terrify you, it should, because these are the kinds of people (who don’t really qualify for that distinction) you are up against. And if you didn’t catch it, these are the kinds of people who are operating in government right now, including Obama himself.

A lot of us would really, really like to see an entirely different world come forth as a result of the collapse, but let’s be honest here, would it? How? They’re not concerned about resource shortages, or climate change, or environmental collapse. Their world view doesn’t even include these concepts.

What do you actually do with pathological killers who are promoted to high positions of office and power? What “makes them go away” like they should?

Another point I’m trying to make is there really are a lot of absolutely crazy people in the world. Pathological killers, sociopaths, homicidal maniacs. What do you suppose happens when they’re no longer restrained by a society that collapses?

It’s quite possible that, like now, these individuals and groups will actually be employed as much as they are destroyed, with the former being more true then the latter. I’m betting that more mercenaries and killers will exist in the future then less, and that this will be very widespread, even if disorganized.

We’re not looking ahead to a future that is going to be free of violence, where the Earth is respected and nourished as it nourishes us, but to a future that promises only more of the same as today, only far, far worse. We’re actually a long, long ways away from what many of us dream of, we’re actually generations away.

Now here is something not entirely unrelated, Herr Bush criticizes Obama policies and actions.  You’re supposed to absolutely forget that these policies and actions were initiated under Bush in the first place, but now that I’ve reminded you of this fact, remember what Lendman said regarding torture in his articles linked above.

What’s going on here is the same BAU model, smokescreens and bullshit and obfuscation of the facts and evidence, anything and everything to keep the people uninformed, or ill-informed, off-balance and divided.  I well realize nothing is going to change this for a very long time.  This is “their” reality too — very much different then mine.

A Peruvian massacre is being reported of at least 38 civilians.

From Puruanista:

Beware, these videos are extremely graphic.

Just in case you thought that we were exaggerating. This is racist genocide. Was this necessary? Were these the barbaric savages that Alan Garcia was referring to? Was this part of the U.S. military presence in Ayacucho, bringing “humanitarian” help? Most importantly, Why is president Obama still silent? Why is the U.S. government allowing this? After all these people are dying because of the damned U.S.- Peru Free Trade Agreement. Talk about change and hope, Mr. President!

Because the United States never has respected indigenous peoples. Anywhere. Our own sordid history continues its genocide against Native Americans to this day. Peruvian Indians won’t be helped by the U.S., period.

Victims of the genocidal Alan Garcia

We can expect more days and nights of violence and killing of the poorest of Peru, if we allow the murderer Alan Garcia to continue ruling the country. Tonight the infamous TV stations Panamericana, Frecuencia Latina, America TV, ATV and others have shown a manipulated video with graphic images of chopped bodies of police officers who alleged they were tortured by Amazonian Indigenous, according to their sources.

All of this has been ordered by the terrorist Alan Garcia, who has started a real civil war among the poor of Peru. From his rotten palace in Lima the despicable man welcomes the opportunity to show nasty and terrifying images of dead policemen on national TV and during family prime time. The APRA and Fujimori fascist mafias are trying to portrait the Indigenous Amazonian people as terrorists; they want to criminalize them with one intention: they are preparing more military attacks and more deaths might occur in increasingly remote areas where even independent media can’t access.

The unstable government in Lima –knowing that hell will break loose- is trying to criminalize and incarcerate Amazonian leaders, who after seeking justice for years, decided to stand up in civil disobedience without violence, against a country that no longer wants them alive.

During the tragedy of Bagua, I have seen horrifying photos and videos sent from witnesses and showing the abusive assault of brutalizes members of the National Police against unarmed civilians. Witnesses say some bodies were burned down and thrown into rivers. Some other bodies were taken away in plastic bags -perhaps the same bodies presented this evening, life forgive me.

Lima media has not reported the true tragedy yet: they only speak of policemen killed -we Indians don’t count right- and they don’t mention that there are between 35 and 85 dead people so far. In Lima, they complain about Cuba and Venezuela, but the press has become a whore who sells itself to the highest bidder, no matter if it means mocking tragedies.

Peruvian people, democracy in Peru has failed and there is no freedom of press, multinational corporations are taking over the total control of an increasingly weak Peruvian state. They are about to buy the historic monuments of Cusco, and they have already bought almost all the productive valleys of the south and northern coast of Peru, and the most productive valleys of the Andes. Now they want to steal the territories from Indigenous Peruvians. It is not surprising that this government prefers to give bailout money for U.S. owned Doe Run mining company, and to exempt taxes to an Israeli man who gives Peruvian people a poisoning trashy television, or to increase royalties for Canadian, U.S., European and Chinese polluting mining companies.

We are being robbed in our noses, Peruvians are now second class citizens – the insane murderer who governs us Garcia even said it blatantly the night of the attacks. The racism of this fatty criminal is shocking, and he wants to see more blood shed in the name of ‘security and progress’ says the filthy fascist. This is the same Alan Garcia that asked in Spain for “more caravels to come to Peru”, he gave away the main square of Lima to an opera singer for a night; he gives medals to fascist King of Spain and the extremist right-wing guru Jose Maria Aznar. He is the one that came to the U.S. to kiss Bush’s butt.

The Garcia administration grants foreign companies with enormous privileges while it kills Peruvian citizens as we were dogs, thus they are creating a bestial battle between indigenous brothers. Alan Garcia must resign and Congress should call for a general elections. Otherwise there will be more deaths due to police and military repression, if we stay silent in the name of the progress for the few. Where is Mario Vargas Llosa to protest for freedom and democracy in Peru?

Shit, if nothing is done to defend the lives of Peruvians and the integrity of the nation, not only we will continue having a criminal as a president - but we will be witnessing the takeover of Peru by Chile or the birth of a new U.S. colony where inequality will worsen but fancy Wal-Mart monsters and luxurious hotels will pop up next to Machu Picchu.

Meanwhile our children are dying of cold in the highlands, our Amazon brothers are preparing for war, and the children of the victims both police officers and natives are dreaming of a day when they can revenge the deaths of their loved ones. Today is the people of Bagua, tomorrow it can be you. Free Trade policies with the U.S. have already destroyed the lives of millions of Mexicans and Central Americans, and are projected to benefit only 3% of Peruvians -those who already have everything but are so unhappy they are begging for more blood shed.

Lets defend life, human rights, justice, progress with equality, respect for our planet. Lets defend what every courageous, dignified and decent people would fight for in those times in history that require all the greatness and the courage of a nation.

Peru wake up.

This is another sign of the end.  American corporations in league with corrupt foreign governments are competing for scarcer and scarcer resources as any and all costs.  This is a scene that will be repeated around the world, over and over and over, as it already has for a hundred years.

The same injustice, indifference and callous disregard we’ve witnessed, documented and disagreed with by government is everywhere today, certainly not unique to Empire.

And the same plea is being made by those on the forefront:  WAKE UP!

Nine more police killed in Amazon protests is an article on the long-standing dispute between ancient land dwellers and corporate interests. Clashes have resulted in 30 dead Indians and 155 injured (and counting).

I’m rooting for the protesters on this one. Oil and gas exploration in the rain forest is a no-brainer. So is oil drilling, logging, mining and large-scale farming.

The government declared Sunday a national day of mourning. In Lima, anguished relatives holding candles held a wake for nine of the slain police officers.

Who’s mourning the Indians killed? The lands destroyed? The habitat ruined? Anybody? Nobody?

CNN blurb.

Submitted by Torjus — a new YouTube video of the evidence against the official “story” (lies) of the U.S. Government and the collapse / attack of the World Trade Center.

If you’re not familiar with the evidence against the official story, you should take a few moments and watch this.

The video is informative, but well known data. This country will never allow a proper investigation into the homegrown attacks on the WTC.

I’d bet 50% or so of Americans already know that our own government blew up the WTC. And it has not made a lick of difference, and in my opinion, it never will. This was the crime of century and these bastards got away with it.

By the way — there WAS reports of unusual activity on entire floors of the WTC, with many people coming and going (workers) and entire floors blocked off from regular access. This happened only a couple of weeks before the attack.

There is absolutely no doubt at all that the Bush / Cheney cabal did this. But look what’s happened to them. Exactly nothing, while they went forth and blew up the rest of the world with their lying bloodlust and turned this country into a police state.

Makes me sick. I am so ashamed of this country that I could puke.

Sent in by Lonewolf - for some reason, the U.S. Army has moved to DEFCON 2. This is only 1 step below maximum readiness for imminent attack / war.

I will withhold any speculation as to why (and it doesn’t matter what I think anyway).  But if these idiots go to war with North Korea, then it’s just another peg in the cribbage board.

I’ve long respected the work over at Thomas Paine’s Corner, which champions the cause of animal liberation and the horrible realities of vivisection.

But this “health revolution” is sure to piss some of these people off (including me) — Creation of ‘GM’ monkey heralds health revolution

Researchers have developed a technique to create genetically modified monkeys that suffer from human illnesses.

Experimenting on these monkeys, they believe, will advance our understanding and treatment of incurable conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. However, the scientific breakthrough has caused consternation among groups opposed to animal experiments because the development will almost certainly lead to a sudden increase in the number of primates used in medical research at a time when there are calls for fewer monkeys to be used in experiments.

The development also raises the prospect that we will be able to apply the technique to humans – another primate. This could help families affected by inherited disorders such Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis by permenantly eradicating their defective genes from future generations.

By now, you should well realize that when science and technology and medicine “promise” to deliver, they often don’t. And if they do deliver, it always, always comes at a very high price, often one which we do not discover for many years their terrifying side effect.

Anybody remember Freon? This is one of thousands of examples of how a new ‘wonder’ is developed with the promise to save us all, but then we discover we did something even worse …

This one is not hard at all to see as being morally wrong. Vivisectionist today are a terrible groups of butchers who do all kinds of horrible and nasty things to caged animals. Not much different then your modern factory farm, but I digress.

The so-called ‘promise’ in this article isn’t fact, it’s speculation at this point. Scientists are ’saving’ us, once again.

But never mind that. This is not the way to go about developing human cures for human diseases.

Filed under Environment, Terrorism and Tyranny because that’s exactly what this is. You don’t need to be a human to be terrorized.

Oh boy, I hope this finally wakes up some of the liberal leftists and groupie types that still don’t realize how betrayed they are:

More proof of the asinine STUPIDITY of our federal protectors: FBI ‘lured dimwits’ into terror plot (hat tip to Cryptogon).

Only a week ago I told everyone that this was bullshit.

“This whole operation was a foolish waste of time and money,” claimed Terence Kindlon, a defence lawyer who represented the last terror suspect to be tried in New York state. “It is almost as if the FBI cooked up the plot and found four idiots to install as defendants.”

This is exactly what I’d estimated:

How much ‘encouragement’ did the FBI give this group? How much was engaged in simply because they found a source and supply for materials and hate mongering?

They are manufacturing crime people, simply to scare you (and justify their useless jobs). This is nothing new, the CIA has been doing this for decades running drugs into this country.

The other question that US security experts were debating was how much had been achieved by assigning more than 100 agents to a year-long investigation of three petty criminals and a mentally ill Haitian immigrant, none of whom had any connection with any known terrorist group.

The end game is patently clear — keep the sheep frightened, justify all this ‘enforcement’ and the cool toys the big boys like to play with.

You have been manipulated once again, and you can be sure to expect much, much more.
