In this sweeping survey of an international crisis caused by “global capitalism based on speculation,” author, Truthdig columnist and activist Chris Hedges delivers a stark and urgent apprisal of the worldwide catastrophe that’s sure to come if the current system isn’t confronted and forced to change.
Hedges sketches out the alarming proportions of the problem to “The Next Debate” host Rudyard Griffiths, chairman of the Munk Debates, in an audio interview posted on Canadian news source The Globe and Mail’s website.
In their discussion, which touches on a series of critical topics Hedges covers in his latest book, “Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt,” Griffiths and Hedges discuss income inequality; the master-slave relationship between the corporate state and purportedly “free” citizens in nations like the U.S. and Canada; the movement to boost the minimum wage; the uprising against oppressive and racist police forces in America; and climate change, among others.
In short, as Hedges puts it, “We live in a revolutionary moment.” Hear his take on how we got to this point and what can be done, in the clip below (via “The Next Debate” as posted in The Globe and Mail):

Wave of medical police state refugees to flee California if SB 277 signed into law … Gov. Brown to declare war on children … no child safe

Thursday 21st May 2015 at 07:45 By David Icke

‘California will be the origin of America’s first wave of medical police state refugees fleeing medical tyranny if Gov. Jerry Brown signs SB 277 into law.
SB 277 is California’s pharma-funded vaccine assault on all parents and children. It would eliminate all personal belief exemptions and force nearly all children in California to be forcibly injected with vaccines that are knowingly manufactured with neurotoxic substances such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and MSG.
If he signs the law, Gov. Brown will be declaring medical genocide against children whose genetic makeup causes them to have extremely heightened risks to vaccine injury. No child will be safe in California, and the state will cement its position as the first real-life medical police state in America, where risks of a medical civil war skyrocket.’

Israel to ‘anti-vaxxers’: No vaccination, no child support

Thursday 21st May 2015 at 07:44 By David Icke

‘When United Torah Judaism inked its coalition agreement with Likud on April 29, party members triumphantly hailed the reversal of a slew of legislative measures implemented by arch-nemesis Yair Lapid, including an increase in monthly child allowances — but it came with one caveat.
Under the terms of the coalition deal, which appointed party member Yaakov Litzman deputy health minister, “the National Insurance law will be amended, such that child allowances will not be given in cases where a parent refuses to vaccinate their child.”’

The Police State Medical society has arrived.

We are being controlled by legions of faceless, nameless bureaucrats intent with a fanatical commitment to rage war against the 'free' minds of this world.

They are waging a war with vaccines that is a war on our 'immune system' as Big Pharma does not want healthy people, and the agenda is to dose us down, create the subdued pacified minds walk in amongst our societies.

We are a 'calamitous' wilful arrogance based on our knowledge of vaccines and Big Pharma.

I am guilty of this also. How are we to be, when we are not medically trained, but the trust has been diminshed with online knowledge seeping through to enlighten us about vaccines?

However, too many children are getting autisim and many babies are dying soon after these vaccines sink their venom into the childs skin. It cannot be ignored!

The medical state police know this, and use moral panic techniques to emotionally blackmail us into vaccinating our children despite our instincts screaming at us not too.

Now we have a plethora of draconian medical rules, morally depraved principles and unclean wisdom being thrown at us in every angle.

It is in effect the corporate rape of our natural immune system, one we need to protect.

Like a frenzied silence raging over our heads, creeping in a medical 'cote 'd'etat' which is evil in print, evil on medicines to drug our children with 'evil' injections, without us fully knowing what is in those injections, and the long term effects and whether they are actually needed!

Our society is a democracy of legalised oppression, a democracy of controlled oligarchy and corporate powers that are like trespassing authors of the hideous kind.

We cannot allow the stance of tolerance to allow strangers to profit by vaccinating our children.

It’s the Great British sell off: Osborne reveals plan to sell off more government assets than ever before in bid to raise more than £23BILLION this year

Thursday 21st May 2015 at 09:23 By David Icke

‘George Osborne signalled the start of the biggest ever sell-off of public assets in a speech to the CBI business conference last night.
The Chancellor said the government would raise more than £23billion this year – a new record – by privatising stakes in Eurostar, Lloyds and the student loan book.
He also revealed that Government departments have already been ordered to start finding extra savings ahead of the emergency budget in July, as he bids to wipe out the government deficit within just two years.’

Rainsbrook G4S youth prison slammed by Ofsted report as children suffer 'racist', 'degrading' abuse from guards high on drugs

Children held at a prison run by the outsourcing giant G4S were subjected to “degrading treatment” and “racist comments” at the hands of staff who were under the influence of illegal drugs, a damning report by the education watchdog has revealed.

Ofsted inspectors who visited Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre in Northamptonshire earlier this year said staff had behaved “extremely inappropriately” towards the young people in their care, causing them “distress and humiliation”.

Frances Crook, the chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, described the inspectors’ conclusions as “the worst report on a prison I have ever seen”. Six members of staff at the jail were sacked in the wake of the incidents.

Dignity is not sacred with this sham of a private corporation.

A private security company hiring 'aggressive attitudes' is a corporation of unclean and violent wisdom and this is placed within our community of vulnerable people's.

It isn't just children filled with anguish, but the unemployed filled with humiliation at the hands of G4S staff.
This story highlights the dreadful interval of fierce hosting we can expect from G4S with a seemingly fanatical commitment to continue its agenda of brute force administration upon those they're responsible for.

Clearly the staff are not trained adequately or are trained to be 'too institutionalised' and expect children to follow suit. Children are free spirits, it's why we love watching them play. It's squashed out of them and some kids don't like this and rebel.

A shattering life change as you grow up.
Children with added worries of life are troubled, the last ingredient is to be incarcerated with verbalised thugs, shunting uniform in your face, vaunting aloud their unjustly grievances and volleying 'evil' in print at them as a threat of punishment!

G4S is a corporation that cannot hide its morally depraved principles.

We've seen if before and we'll see more foul 'thug-ish' expeditions from this private security firm.

Tory Cuts Could Push Tens Of Thousands Of Home Carers Onto the Dole, Warns Charity

Posted by Welfare Weekly -May 17, 2015

 

Tens of thousands of home carers who look after vulnerable elderly relatives could be pushed into unemployment, warns the Alzheimer’s Society.

Government cuts are leaving local authority social care budgets “at breaking point”, while struggling home carers are left juggling work and caring duties.
Within ten years, up to one million Alzheimers patients will be dependent upon the care they receive from relatives. This is estimated to save the economy around £11.6bn each year, which is greater than the £8.8bn spent on the NHS.

Head of policy at the Alzheimer’s Society, George McNamara, said: “Further government cuts to social care could lead to tens of thousands of working people forced to give up their jobs to look after elderly relatives over the next five years.”
“Workers can’t fit caring responsibilities into a lunch break”, said Mr McNamara.
“Looking after an elderly parent with dementia takes huge amounts of time, energy and emotional stress. Many carers will have no choice but to give up work unless they get better public services.”

Our political system is a massive psychological machine to devour moral decency within our societal system of care and welfare services.

Carers work dedicated hours of long back breaking heavy workloads, time utterly spent providing the attention we all appreciate when where in need.  This career model goes largely unnoticed, ignored and deeply underpaid for their efforts, unless it is to sabotage it further.

We know the Tory bullying agenda, their destruction of the welfare state expedition and a ferocious path of evil, to destroy the poor's voice and power.

This punishing infrastructure is being ripped to pieces at rapid speeds of vigour, to dismantle our welfare state, and all practises and commitments to it. A deliberate manufactured Tory dialogue of force to collapse our social caring community structures to fall and fail.

The agenda is for the private sector to infiltrate their corporate power and control, to eventually privatise the whole system by stepping in to 'rescue' the starved of funds avenues.

This punishing infrastructure is on a ceaseless expansion that is hijacked by ruthless corporate politicians who hold power to instigate and frame debates, basically control decision making to favour private interests and this sector is no different.

The FDA union claims HMRC will lose up to 15,000 of its 64,000 staff - despite having to find an extra £5bn by cracking down on tax avoidance
Axe: HMRC could face huge job cuts - but George Osborne wants staff to tackle tax avoidance
Tory cuts could axe more than a fifth of staff at the department in charge of chasing tax dodgers, a union has warned.
It's claimed HM Revenue and Customs will lose out as new waves of cuts spread across Whitehall, ditching up to 100,000 jobs.
That's despite HMRC being in charge of a new tax avoidance crackdown that George Osborne claims will net Britain £5bn.
Dave Penman, general secretary of the FDA civil service union, says HMRC will suffer because other departments like education, health and foreign aid are better-protected.
And it won't be able to track down tax dodgers without investing in expensive experts, he warned.
He told Mirror Online: "Tax avoidance is just one part of HMRC but it's a critical one.

Street Democracy writes:

Our Tory 'principles of the age' are depraved, filled with unclean wisdom, a biased favouritism and a total cataclysm of our social and political democracy.

The lobbyist's who paid millions into the Tory 'general election' piggy bank, want they're financial payback. 

Their reward is to be able to continue dodging tax payments by the millions and with less staff hounding their complicated private economic system, fraudulent tax dodging can commence unchallenged.

Corporate wealth has replaced our voting system for money as these millionaires run our centralised power.

Favouring themselves, legalizing money trafficking and biased principles favouring corporatisation hierarchy enshrined into biased rich favouring law is now so obvious they may as well just admit it.

With a fanatical commitment, venal economic elite, with their banded powers of corporate principles have rigged Tory policies to favour themselves.
Our government is enmeshed with a culture of privilege, power, wealth and entitlements and with blind obedience the Tory puppet MP's are too willingly obliging.

It is so obvious.

They're not cutting staff surrounding the 'Bedroom Tax', to chase rent arrears from the poorest.

Another grotesque pantheon completely devoid of moral fibre corporate elites financial manoeuvres work our governmental system like a playing a fiddle.

Our democracy serves the corporate oligarchs. Our democracy favours concentrated wealth and our system is most radically anti-democratic.

The Pathology of the Rich White Family

Posted on May 17, 2015 

By Chris Hedges

  Portraits of former Presidents George W. Bush, left, and George H.W. Bush, his father, part of the show “The Art of Leadership: A President’s Diplomacy.” The exhibit of portraits of world leaders by the younger Bush are on display at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas and runs through June 3. (AP / Benny Snyder)

 

The pathology of the rich white family is the most dangerous pathology in America. The rich white family is cursed with too much money and privilege. It is devoid of empathy, the result of lifetimes of entitlement. It has little sense of loyalty and lacks the capacity for self-sacrifice. Its definition of friendship is reduced to “What can you do for me?” It is possessed by an insatiable lust to increase its fortunes and power. It believes that wealth and privilege confer to it a superior intelligence and virtue. It is infused with an unchecked hedonism and narcissism. And because of all this, it interprets reality through a lens of self-adulation and greed that renders it delusional. The rich white family is a menace. The pathologies of the poor, when set against the pathologies of rich white people, are like a candle set beside the sun.

There are no shortages of acolytes and propagandists for rich white families. They dominate our airwaves. They blame poverty, societal breakdown, urban violence, drug use, domestic abuse and crime on the pathology of poor black families—not that they know any. They argue that poor black families disintegrate because of some inherent defect—here you can read between the lines that white people are better than black people—a defect that these poor families need to fix.

City shuts off water to delinquent residents; hits Baltimore Co. homes hardest

Sunday 17th May 2015 at 07:20 By David Icke

‘Baltimore officials, trying to collect some $40 million in long-unpaid water bills, have shut off service to more than 1,600 customers in the past six weeks.
But records reviewed by The Baltimore Sun show the city’s enforcement has been starkly uneven.
While large commercial properties owe the biggest amounts, not one has been shut off. All of the service cuts so far have been to homes.
And while the majority of homes with unpaid bills are in the city, nearly 90 percent of shut-offs have been in Baltimore County. Dundalk and Gwynn Oak have each had more service cuts than all of Baltimore.’

Street Democracy writes:

Baltimore's poor are being punished.

Administration of hate speared through their air to pierce 'death dealing policies' at the poor for owing money to the water companies, has shut them off.

Inhumane, siege mentality, administrators with deep bitter malice towards the poor can't hide their demented words of resentment, as their actions speak loudly.

Following the tail of the one in front, administrators, dictate, obey and follow 'evil in print' to produce a true 'hunger game' society, a miserable onslaught for the poor, for the basic necessity of life, water.
It is a 'silent weapon' for a 'silent carnage' upon those suffering from poverty a true gritty doleful shade of sorrow, anguish and a fixed sadness.

They suffer an expulsion from mainstream society, and residents only face fierce dialogues frowning with scorn at them who shut their water off.

The poor are being held to ransom.

A horrendous interval in family home life with children in need of clean water and yet the corporate parks, display in arrogant splendour their water  features, their absolute control of privilege and all things they want.

It is further proof democracy is being shattered across the political spectrum, dignity is not sacred and to wreck and devastate citizens is a daily sinister principle of our age, 'the oligarchs spirit of the age' that is.

One Of The Most Important Scientists In The World: ‘Most Cancer Research Is Largely A Fraud’

new Saturday 16th May 2015 at 08:07 By David Icke

‘“Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.” (source)
The above quote comes from Linus Pauling, Ph.D, and two time Nobel Prize winner in chemistry (1901-1994). He is considered one of the most important scientists in history. He is one of the founders of quantum chemistry and molecular biology, who was also a well known peace activist. He was invited to be in charge of the Chemistry division of the Manhattan Project, but refused. He has also done a lot of work on military applications, and has pretty much done and seen it all when it comes to the world of science. A quick Google search will suffice if you’d like to learn more about him.
This man has been around the block, and obviously knows a thing or two about this subject. And he’s not the only expert from around the world expressing similar beliefs and voicing his opinion.’

State approves $30 million youth jail to house Baltimore teenagers charged as adults

Friday 15th May 2015 at 07:20 By David Icke

‘Sate officials approved plans Wednesday to build a $30 million, 60-bed jail to house Baltimore teenagers charged as adults, a step to address years of concern about the practice of housing young city defendants alongside adults.
The U.S. Justice Department has said the state-run Baltimore City Detention Center has been violating the law by keeping the youths in the same facility as grown-ups, where teens often are secluded and do not receive school or other services while incarcerated.
The contract to renovate an existing pretrial facility on North Forrest Street near the detention center represents a compromise to an earlier proposal to build a much bigger youth jail in the city.’

Street Democracy writes: 

Modern schools are plagued by trespassing authors called 'teachers' regurgitating government indoctrination 'toxic' principles, with bought and paid for text books that are published by controlled publishers for one giant socialisation programme.

Our education system is worrying or should I say 'resocialisation centres' are worrying?

We as parents willingly hand over to the state to control and raise our children or program them to think a certain way, by strangers (teachers) who are themselves institutionalised.

We surrender our children to government controlled operating programs for intense behavioural training.

Our children are absolutely compelled to be removed from their parents where the rules determine atmosphere and where children are forced to comply.

It is a mass group think, a hive mind syndrome, where self determination is replaced by a social collective action.

Our education system is like this animal school I heard someone say:

One monkey, one elephant and one rabbit sit down on the grass and the teacher says 'today class, we will climb trees to see who can reach the top the fastest and those who fail will be punished!' Guess which animals get punished because they just can't do the subject (climb trees)?

So our children are different but expected to produce the same level of regurgitation of lessons and those who fail, those who get frustrated at such education, or are critical, those who dare vent their anger, get in to serious trouble.

So ask yourself, what is the difference between school and prison? 

Our moderns schools in Crawley look like detention centres.

Compulsory to wear uniforms.
Corporations are inside each school influencing minds.
Bell sounding system dictating the start and end of projects.
Both have digital CCTV.
Both punish with detentions.
Solitary confinement.
No free thinking unless its set in a controlled parameter, like the subject involved.
Obey authority or your punished.
Food served up on trays like prison.
Regimented like prison.
Erosion of freedom of speech/critical thinking.
Queue for things as do prisoners.
Short recreational breaks as do prisons.
Children clock watch, prisoners scratch days on the walls.
Indoctrination and social programming as with prisons.
Banish free thinking, critical thinking and abstract thought to be told what to think and when.

They are criminalising our children and indoctrinating a punishing state educational program to normalise incarceration, normalise correctional facilities and normalise state punishments and this is shocking!

Keiser Report: Modern Slave Masters

Street Democracy writes: 

Chris Hedges rightly talks about elites weaponising policies to use against mainstream society by indoctrinating minds to fear 'everyone' doing 'anything' at 'anytime'. The use of propaganda is powerful.

'Sour principles' enlarged by monumental mechanisms squander and obscures truth by our ruling elites. This mechanism emotionally herds people to believe in the direction the 'legalised terrorist's' (our leaders) want.

With 'corporate' media programmed to 'program the herd mentality',criminalising 'everyone' the indoctrination is simple and effective as is 'divide and conquer'.

If you stage 'moral panic', plant social indoctrination, repeat societal propaganda, you can manipulate, 'spellbound' the masses into divisions where before were unheard of. 

By inflicting a fierce dialogue and ferocious demeanour at particular members of communities, a siege mentality appears, divisions occur, cracks show of opinions, beliefs differing and causing frictions between groups where once they were none.

By labelling the public as potential 'nasties' there will be many who swallow such 'toxic rubbish'. 

Their wilful arrogance is spoon fed to prove commitment to their country, social position, the perfect citizenry perhaps?

The same 'divide and conquer' is in the UK with our recent General Election. The Tory's won the with a 37% majority, and locally gained seats from areas 'never' before were Tory, but Labour.

By trashing those on benefits, the unemployed, disabled people, it causes those working to raise their social status by a mere thread and divisions appear between the workers and the non-workers. 

This despite the 'working poor' enduring back breaking, long hours of minimum wage in temporary jobs their lives exhausted and utterly spent in equal misery, socially they feel accepted into mainstream society. The unemployed have been expelled, marginalised and socially disgraced.

So attacking the poorest, those economically just above them are inclined to vote for a more right wing political party to distance themselves from the social disgrace the Tories have labelled the unemployed. 

Those desperate to prove their social status as higher because of their employment position to gain the 'Tory' societal approval, until they loose their temporay job and become unemployed, then reality hits home.

The same propaganda, 'divide and conquer' has been used to hype up 'terrorist's'. 

'Terrorist' have been placed 'malicously' penetrating innately decent societies to be anyone at anytime. Those insecure members of the public desperate to prove their 'goodness' will demonstrate by potentially informing upon others.

A totalitarian state is only as strong as its informants. And the United States has a lot of them. They read our emails. They listen to, download and store our phone calls. They photograph us on street corners, on subway platforms, in stores, on highways and in public and private buildings. They track us through our electronic devices. They infiltrate our organizations. They entice and facilitate “acts of terrorism” by Muslims, radical environmentalists, activists and Black Bloc anarchists, framing these hapless dissidents and sending them off to prison for years. They have amassed detailed profiles of our habits, our tastes, our peculiar proclivities, our medical and financial records, our sexual orientations, our employment histories, our shopping habits and our criminal records. They store this information in government computers. It sits there, waiting like a time bomb, for the moment when the state decides to criminalize us.

Totalitarian states record even the most banal of our activities so that when it comes time to lock us up they can invest these activities with subversive or criminal intent. And citizens who know, because of the courage of Edward Snowden, that they are being watched but naively believe they “have done nothing wrong” do not grasp this dark and terrifying logic.

Our democracy is a sham! A 'real' voter beware policy! 

Our democracy serves our corporate masters and our political system is enriched with corporate power, muscle, heavy influence, deception, propaganda, spin and lies.

I watched hundreds of locals queue up last night with determination to control the fate of their country. Yet the UK, like so many, had its political body devoured by corporate greed long ago. 

The UK belongs to the oligarchs and it's them who control our democracy.

We witness corporate wealth who have replaced cash for votes, cash for questions and cash for the biggest puppet to lead government. 

Our democracy is a legalised, money trafficking, financial 'slip in hand' manoeuvres, of legalised bribery and financial blackmailing from corporate oligarchs, corporate powers and elites. Where is the democracy in any of this?

Even our tv dramas and films show this in every story line! THEY EVEN SCREAM IT AT US ON TV!!! Still the public believe they control government.

Our political leaders are selected and never elected. We witness a sinister art of manipulating democracy, a sinister art of manufacturing reality. 

Help from mainstream media, the criminalisation and slanderous dialogue of the poor has socially assassinated anyone claiming benefits or a disabled person should after all be fit enough to run a marathon??

But then, states began signing contracts with private phone companies like AT&T, who, in turn, began charging sky-high rates for phone calls between prisoners and their families.’

Trust in mainstream media plummets: Only 2% of young adults trust the media

Trust in the mainstream media appears to be taking a nosedive, at least among young people. A recent ‘Harvard Institute of Politics poll that queried more than 3,000 people between the ages of 18 and 29 found that only 2 percent of them believe that the media can be trusted to do the “right thing” on a regular basis.
The poll found that 88 percent of those polled think that the media only “sometimes” or “never” does the right thing. In fact, a whopping 39 percent said the media “never” does the right thing. This places the media in last place behind Congress, Wall Street and the federal government in terms of trust.
High on the list of those who can be trusted are scientists, who came in first place among the 12 institutions the poll listed, with the U.S. military and local police departments claiming second and third place, respectively.’
