Hordur Torfason: An Intelligent Solution

Previous comments in response to one of my blogs insisted that we need an “intelligent solution” to resolve our problems with the growing police state.

Well, here’s Mr. Hordur Torfason offering an “intelligent solution” to the problem with global government–and his “intelligent solution” has already worked one time in Iceland.

I suspect that the key to Mr. Torfason’s success was his ability to gain the respect of Iceland’s police force.

The police are the “point” of the New World Order’s “spear”.  If we fight the police, they will fight us–if only out of self-defense.  If we and the police fight, we can expect the military to come in to support the police.  We can defeat police and if enough of us stand up, we can even defeat the American military–but doing so would be a painful and bloody contest.

But. If we could somehow gain the respect and support of the police, they might abandon their role as the point of the NWO’s spear.  If government can’t precipitate a fight between people and the police, there won’t be a meaningful episode of violence in America.

Do you suppose that the NWO is actually working to encourage Americans to “go to war” with the police?  ”Let’s you and them fight”?

In any case, Mr. Torfason explains Iceland’s “intelligent solution”:

Three current events plus a few of my offhand remarks (“hipshots”).  Nothing profound, but possibly interesting.

•  West Point Cadets Taught Patriots Are Terrorists   According to Minute Man News, a new 148-page report is urging West Point students to consider many private Americans who claim to be “patriots”– and who are thus critical of government–to actually be American “terrorists”:

“This study, released by the United States Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center, is entitled “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right.” Its author, Professor Arie Perliger, the Director of Terrorism Studies at the Combating Terrorism Center and Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, holds membership in the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee . . . .  Perliger warns that growing legions of conservative-minded citizens across the U.S. pose a serious threat to our nation’s safety.”

In fact, a recent survey by the Pew Foundation indicates that the percentage of Americans who distrust government has risen to 75%.  Apparently Mr. Perliger is telling West Point students to ignore the public’s growing displeasure with the federal government and treat all such “dissidents” as “terrorists”.  Contrary to Mr. Perligner’s assertions, these dissidents do not pose a threat to “our nation’s safety”–they pose a threat to our nation’s government.  The government likes to argue that it’s best interests and the interests of our nation are one-in-the-same, but that’s not true.  In fact, the nation’s best interests and the government’s best interest are frequently, usually, and even primarily antithetical.  Thus, It’s entirely reasonable and generally inevitable that you be inclined to support your nation but resist your government.

 

Brzezinski’s Lament

Zbignew Brzezinski is a Democrat who served as America’s 10^th National Security Advisor from A.D. 1977 through A.D. 1981 under the Jimmy Carter administration.

It strikes me as unusual, odd, even disturbing that Brzezinski became our National Security Advisor in A.D. 1977 since he’d already published his book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era in A.D. 1970.  Why?  Because in that book, he predicted and apparently advocated the control of populations by an elite political class via technetronic manipulation.

According to Brzezinski,

“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

 

Comin’ Home to Gold

The Daily Reckoning Australia reports that,

 

“SOMETHING is brewing.  We don’t know what it is, but it feels ominous. . . .  we know the financial system is broken and that the market should collapse. We know you can’t solve a debt problem by increasing debt.

“Jim Rickards reckons the most likely outcome of all this is chaos. . . .  When a system of international finance comes to an end, it normally goes through a chaotic period before another system emerges.

“What will that new system be?  Rickards puts a number of options forward.  All involve something taking over from the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

“The problem with the US Dollar is that it fulfills the dual role of domestic currency and international reserve asset. This gives rise to the ‘Triffin Dilemma’, named after the economist Robert Triffin. The dilemma is that the objectives of managing a domestic currency run contrary to the objectives of an international reserve asset.”

I.e., a currency can serve only one “master”.  The US dollar can serve only the people of the USA or only the people of the world.  If the dollar serves one, it must slight the other.

 

Do We All Work for Central Bankers?

CNBC says Yes.

“We are absolutely slaves to the central bankers.”

The central banks are the backbone of the New World Order.  We are working for a fiat currency issued by the U.S.’s central bank (Federal Reserve) that is not a payment or even a promise to pay.

Decentralization causes Destabilization causes Demand for Gold

Decentralization: The Un-United Nations

It’s hard to say when the impulse to globalism and one world government began.  Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in A.D. 1932 as a work for fiction.  But Huxley travelled in the circles of elitists who were determined, at least in the 1920s, to implement world government and global social engineering.  I have little doubt that Huxley’s Brave New World was based on elitist plans to build what we now call the “New World Order”.

Surely, the powers that favor globalism have been ascendant since WWII.  We’ve seen the rise of fiat currencies—and the loss of gold and silver money—an absolute necessity for globalism.  We’ve seen the United Nations (UN) grow stronger.  We’ve watched the U.S. fiat dollar assume the role of “global reserve currency”—laying the foundation for a single, global currency—another essential for one world government.  Nations around the world have slowly surrendered parts of their sovereignty to entities like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Union (EU), the UN, and central banks.  After the USSR collapsed in A.D. 1991, the bi-polar world of the Cold War between the USSR and the US gave way to a mono-polar world ruled by the one remaining super-power:  the US.

Here, in the U.S., the state governments lost their “states’ rights” as the federal government became ever more powerful.  Where “federal cases” were once rare, they’re now routine as federal laws intrude ever deeper into areas once deemed subject only to the authority of a State of the Union.

Recently, the UN has moved to claim sole control the internet.  According to The New York Times, “The proposal is backed by China, Russia, Brazil, India and other UN members, and would give the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) more control over the governance of the Internet.”  The goal of subjecting the global internet to the control—and taxation—of any single entity (in this case, the U.N.) is evidence of a push for globalism and, especially, centralization of power.

 

Running From Debt. Running to Gold. Running to Freedom.

The European Union’s (EU’s) current financial problem was made public by the inability or refusal of the Greek people to repay the debts incurred by their government.  Greece owed a “mere” $500 billion—a big sum for Greece, but a triviality for the EU.  The entire $500 billion could’ve been forgiven and absorbed by the EU.  However, if the EU agreed to forgive Greece’s debt, they’d be forced to also forgive the debts of Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and perhaps France.  The result would be an EU where no one expected to pay their debts.

Therefore, Greece’s relatively small $500 billion debt had to be largely enforced—not merely to maintain the integrity of the EU—but to insure that all debtors understood and agreed that they must repay their debts.

The relatively small problem with Greece was magnified by the fact that all creditors—including the EU, itself—depend on their debtors’ willingness to repay their debts.   If Greece were allowed to repudiate all of its “sovereign” (governmental) debt, the EU might fragment and even the global economy might be collapsed.

The EU (and arguably, the New World Order) ultimately depend on the world’s willingness to not only repay their debts, but remain in the status of debtors.

 

George Orwell on the Purpose of Governmental Power

George Orwell published his novel 1984 in A.D. 1949.  I first read 1984 in the 1960s.  Back then, it seemed to be such a dark vision of the future, that it couldn’t possibly happen in America.  I still believe that Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World offers a more realistic vision of how an oppressive future might be imposed and maintained.

Nevertheless, today, as I reread the following excerpts from 1984, I must admit that in many respects, Orwell was not only prophetic, but that many of his darkest warnings are already taking place openly . . . right here within The United States of America. I.e., Americans openly celebrated torture under the Bush administration; Obama’s reelection campaign will be based in part on his decision to murder Osama bin Laden (we’ll be invited to vote for a president based on his ability to murder individuals); the police state grows more brazen each day.

 

Going Too Far

Last December, the US gov-co enacted the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  This act ignited much controversy by allowing the indefinite detention of American citizens without judicial process.

Less appreciated was the NDAA’s proviso for imposing economic sanctions on Iran and its trading partners.  These sanctions include the power to prevent Iran’s trading partners from accessing US financial institutions.

The gov-co presumed that the world would be so terrified by the thought of being unable to trade with the US, that the world would abandon Iran.  However, some nations need Iranian oil more than US dollars and are therefore beginning to buy crude oil from Iran without fiat dollars and even pay with gold.

Some believe that when the NDAA becomes effective (June 28^th), China (the world’s second largest economy) will begin paying for Iranian crude oil with gold.

The economic implications are enormous.  The political implications are greater.  I suspect that the NDAA is evidence that the almighty forces of American empire have finally gone too far.

 

America Follows Argentina?

I received the following Power Point presentation in my email today.  It explains that in A.D. 1902 (just 100 years ago), Argentina was the second most powerful economy in the world.  England was first.  The US was third.  The Argentinians’ standard of living was second only to England.

However, Argentina elected politicians who fed the people of bunch of communist and/or fascists crapola, built up huge bureaucracies, subjected the Argentinian people to enormous debt, and even imposed a fascist dictatorship.  The result was national chaos, decline, violence and “disappeared” dissidents.

Today, the Argentinian economy is the world’s 28th largest.  The Argentinian people’s standard of living is 45th.

The presentation argues that the US is following in Argentina’s footsteps and can therefore expect to suffer a similar economic and political catastrophe.

I disagree with the presentation on one point:  it implies that all of Argentina’s problems were caused by leftists and blames all of America’s coming problems on Democrats.  America’s biggest enemy is big government.  There’s no reason to believe that radical communists at the top of our Democrat party are any more dangerous to this nation than the radical fascists at the top of the Republican party.

So long as our government is divided up between big-government Democrats and big-government Republicans, we’re headed towards national destruction and a New World Order.

We need a third political party that’s fundamentally and permanently opposed to any and all big government–no matter what label that big government operates under.  If they’re raising taxes, raising the deficits, or raising government services, throw the bastards out.  The fundamental issue is not party affiliation–it’s governmental size.  Those who seek more government under any pretext or label are the principle enemies of the American people.
