The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., August 10, 2017:”It is long known in American, and foreign, intelligence circles, that the sole reason the United States maintains a military presence in Afghanistan is because of the huge and very profitable opium fields located there.

American interests, mostly CIA, have been involved in the drug business for decades and the financial rewards from the raw opium are far too much to abandon.

So what if many soldiers are killed or maimed?

So what if civilians are slaughtered in droves?

What matters is that the raw opium share the American secret police gets is not in any way interdicted.

There is no other logical reason for the American military to be in that remote and primitive country.

They have no oil but they do have opium.

Opium, refined, (in Columbia) makes heroin and heroin makes money.

And in our sanctified government, money calls for deep pockets.

It was said, in jest, that last winter it was so cold in Washington that a Senator was seen with his hands in his own pockets.

Always look for the truth in the jest.”

Washington, D.C., August 9, 2017:”Today, long articles. The first one is an important analysis of incipient, and dangerous, social decay in modern America and, if nothing else, to be read with consideration. The news, as reported on the Internet, is either a great deal or almost nothing. Will the US nuke North Korea? Who knows? Trump says one thing and does another. The PRC is not pro-American but they do not want a North Korean-instigated war on their borders. The North Koreans pay no attention to repeated attempts on the part of Beijing to calm troubled waters and eventually, China will tell the US (in private) to do as they wish about the missile threats. Most serious international situations are resolved, or exacerbated, in private conversation behind closed doors.”

The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., August 8, 2017:” The raging infighting inside the Beltway between agencies competing fiercely for tax dollars is starting emerge into public view. The pro-establishment papers like the Washington Post and the New York Times are screaming at Trump and doing their best to try to poison public opinion that they are losing subscribers in record number. Trump is thwarted at every turn and because he has no political experience, he has no effective response. If he cannot govern effectively, neither can the warring agencies and the opposing political entrenched entities. Eventually, an outraged public will turn on everyone involved and, like California, the states will break away from the Union, or attempt to. If the California movement to withdraw from the United States wins at their upcoming elections, the US Army will have another country to invade and subjugate.”

The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., August 7, 2017:” “Prior to the event of printed, and later television, media, it was not difficult for the world’s power elites and the governments they controlled, to see that unwelcome and potentially dangerous information never reached the masses of people under their control. Most of the general public in more distant times were completely illiterate and received their news from their local priest of from occasional gossip from travelers. The admixture of kings, princes and clergy had an iron control over what their subjects could, or could not, hear. During the Middle Ages, and even into the more liberal Renaissance, universities were viewed with suspicion and those who taught, or otherwise expresses, concepts that were anathema to the concept of feudalism were wither killed outright or permanently banished. Too-liberal priests were silenced by similar methods. If Papal orders for silence were not followed, priests could, and were, put to the torch as an example for other to note.

However, with the advent of the printing press and a growing literacy in the population, the question of informational control was less certain and with the growing movements in Europe and the American colonies for less restriction and more public expression, the power elites found it necessary to find the means to prevent unpleasant information from being proclaimed throughout their lands and unto all the inhabitants thereof.

The power elites realized that if they could not entirely prevent inconvenient, and often dangerous, facts from emerging and threatening their authority and control, their best course was not censorship but to find and develop the means to control the presentation and publication of what which they wished to keep entirely secret.

The first method was to block or otherwise prevent the release of dangerous material by claiming that such material was a matter of vital state security and as such, strictly to be controlled in the public interest. This, in short, was not only for the protection of the public but also for their continued security.

The second method was, and has been, to put forth deliberate disinformation that so distorts and confuses actual facts as to befuddle a public they see as easily controlled, naïve and gullible.

The mainstream American media, which theoretically once was a balance against governmental corruption and abuse of power, quickly became little more than a mouthpiece for the same government they were supposed to report on.

In the latter part of the nineteenth century, most American newspapers were little better than Rupert Murdoch’s modern tabloids, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing, but during the First World War, President Woodrow Wilson used the American entry into the European war as an excuse for clamping iron controls upon the American public. Aside from setting up dictates over food distribution, the railroads, much industry involved in war production, he also established a powerful propaganda machine coupled with a national informant system that guaranteed his personal and abiding control, In 1918, citing national security, Wilson arrested and imprisoned critical news reporters and threatened to shut down their papers.

Wilson, as a wartime president, set clear precedents that resonated very loudly with those who read, and understood, history and its realities.”

The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., August 6 , 2017:” Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating.

Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges.

A Climate Central analysis finds the odds of “century” or worse floods occurring  are on track to double or more, over widespread areas of the U.S.

These increases threaten an enormous amount of damage. Across the country, nearly 5 million people live in 2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide — a level lower than the century flood line for most locations analyzed. And compounding this risk, scientists expect roughly a 2 to 7 more feet of sea level rise within the next seven to ten years.

More than half of the area of 40 large cities (population over 50,000) is less than 10 feet above the high tide line, from Virginia Beach and Miami (the largest affected), down to Hoboken, N.J. (smallest). Twenty-seven of the cities are in Florida, where one-third of all current housing sits below the critical line — including 85 percent in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Each of these counties is more threatened than any whole state outside of Florida – and each sits on bedrock filled with holes, rendering defense by seawalls or levees almost impossible.

By the metric of most people living on land less than 10 ft above the high tide line, New York City is most threatened in the long run, with a low-lying population count of more than 700,000. Sixteen other cities, including New Orleans, La.; Norfolk, Va.; Stockton, Calif.; Boston, Mass.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; and Jacksonville, Fla.; are on the list of places with more than 100,000 people below the line. (Much of New Orleans is already below sea level, but is protected, but only at today’s levels, by levees.)”

Washington, D.C., August 5 , 2017: “MERS claims to be a privately-held company and their function is keeping track of a confidential electronic registry of mortgages and the modifications to servicing rights and ownership of the loans.  However, if you dig deeper into MERS and their shareholders you will find the same crony bankers that have led our economy off the financial cliff.  Shareholders include AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, WaMu, CitiMortgage, Countrywide, GMAC, Guaranty Bank, and Merrill Lynch.  It is a stunner how these same players show up in every financial war we have been dealing with.

MERS was founded in 1995 under the pretext that it would lower the cost of recording an assignment of ownership in county land records.  By the way, as someone that has bought property in multiple states the filing fee is the lowest cost in acquiring a home.  If you cannot afford the tiny fee in recording the deed then you probably shouldn’t be buying a home.  The reality of course is MERS allowed for the mortgage backed security business to explode since it allowed mortgages to be shipped off to Wall Street to be minced into tiny tranches and sold off by the big investment banks to pensions, foreign investors, retail investors, and everyone else that wanted a piece of the mortgage bubble.”

Washington, D.C., August 4, 2017:” Like volcanologists contemplating the underground rumblings of Yellowstone, sociologists and historians are contemplating the growing global political pressures.

That overpopulation is driving the latter is beyond a doubt and also beyond a doubt, there will be major eruptions in the near future.

Rising sea levels endanger human development near the coastal areas of the world and altered weather patterns are seriously interfering with food production.

All of this is entirely predictable but no one knows when the eruptions will happen.

But idiot bloggers rush to proclaim whatever fantasies they have dreamt up when their Prozac has worn off and politically slanted news sites point here and there.

Be entertained and be sure to stock up on food and ammunition.”

Washington, D.C., August 3 , 2017:”The basic problem with any government agency is its frantic desire to expand, to control, to get more fundings from Congress and, most important, to squash rivals agencies (who are doing the same thing) In the US, the lead power-grabber is the CIA. They were set up in 1948 by Harry Truman to be a global information agency that would give him private briefings. Truman did this because he felt the US Army was feeding him inaccurate information. But like Topsy, the CIA growed and now it is an arrogant aggregation of self-important people who do as they choose and interfere in every level of government. Eventually, they get too powerful but woe to the President who threatens their existence. John Kennedy started to break them up and the had him killed so no other President dares to tamper with the Langley Louts.”

The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., August 1 , 2017: “The Center of International Studies, paid for and controlled entirely by the CIA, was set up at MIT in 1951 and other such entities followed at major, and some minor, universities and colleges across the country. Most universities terminated their working arrangements with the CIA but not before an entire generation of willing academics sold their services to the CIA. An inspection of an existing list of academics who worked for the CIA reads like a Who’s Who of the academic world.

By 1971, both the CIA and FBI were heavily engaged in domestic surveillance programs in the United States. These programs grew to be so pervasive and oppressive that in 1971, FBI director Hoover, alarmed at the degree and extent of illegal surveillance, balked at extending the cooperation of his agency any further and was instrumental in causing these enormous internal spy operations to collapse, at least insofar as CIA participation was concerned. Without Hoover’s FBI to assist them, the CIA programs began to wither and die and even James Angleton’s program to open, read and copy first class mail, a serious felony, was exposed and Angleton fired in 1976.

The domestic surveillance programs now in place are conducted by more than one agency and, in theory at least, are all-inclusive.

Every citizen of the United States is supposed to possess a Social Security card and the number on this card is the key used to unlock all the areas where sensitive personal information on all citizens is stored. The computer has simplified not only record keeping but also surveillance activities. Everything pertaining to a citizen is kept in computer files and the government, and some private agencies who work with the government, have unlimited and unrestricted access to these computer files.

Birth and death records, highly personal and often potentially embarrassing medical files, bank accounts, criminal files, credit card records that indicate travel and purchases, tax records, ownership of cars, planes, boats and real estate, credit bureau reports, Social Security and other official agency material and dozens of other records that are the sum and total of the population of the United States are all quickly available to interested officialdom through the offices of the computer systems.

It is no longer possible to fly commercially domestically without producing photo identification and all of this data is made available to various agencies via the computer

Even the television set in the living room (or often more interestingly, the bedroom) can be used as a surveillance device. It is a well-known fact that the functions of the AM and FM units found in all television set can be reversed and the set can be used as a transmitter, even when it is turned off.

None of this is done in a secret location in Washington but is accomplished at the subject’s local cable head. It should be noted that this wonderfully Orwellian program only works if the victim is connected to a television cable system, one of the best reasons for using a satellite disk. Contrary to rumor, the set can only be used for audio transmission, not visual, so bedroom activities can only be heard, not seen.

Not even the fax machine is secure because the technology exists, and is used, to have copies of faxed documents sent directly into a federal office at the same time they are being printed out at the recipient’s home or office.

While it is quite true that the American public are constantly subject to observations like ants in a glass ant farm, they should comfort themselves with the knowledge that this is for their own welfare and certainly not a manifestation of a burgeoning police state.”
