The Times Endorses Hillary Clinton with a Banner Ad from Citigroup
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: January 31, 2016
Today’s digital edition of The New York Times captures the essence of the cancer eating away at our democracy: a leading newspaper is endorsing a deeply tarnished candidate for the highest office in America while a major Wall Street bank that has played a key role in her conflicted candidacy runs a banner ad as if to salute the endorsement. The slogan on Citigroup’s ad, “cash back once just isn’t enough,” perfectly epitomizes the frequency with which the Clintons have gone to the Citigroup well.

"Pandora's Box Is Open": Why Japan May Have Started A 'Silent Bank Run'

"... if the negative interest rate continues for longer or goes deeper, commercial banks may have to set negative interest rates on deposits, which would expand not only the tax on commercial banks, but also on depositors (households and companies). This could lead to a ‘silent bank run’ via a shift of deposits to cash (banknotes), which in turn damages the sound banking system by enlarging the leakage of funds from the credit creation mechanism in the banking system."

The White House has released a press release on gun registration.

firearms, you must get a license and conduct background checks."

Obama is serious about this. Gun shows are the target.

"Background checks have been shown to keep guns out of the wrong hands, but
too many gun sales—particularly online and at gun shows—occur without
basic background checks. Today, the Administration took action to ensure
that anyone who is “engaged in the business” of selling firearms is licensed
and conducts background checks on their customers."

These new rules will take time to implement. Bureaucrats move slowly.

Do not imitate bureaucrats.

Here is a list of upcoming gun shows.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

Dow & The Immediate View

DJIND-D 1-27-2016

The Dow needs a closing above 16350 to stabilize for now temporarily. Otherwise, we are not out of the woods here until we pass March. To suggest that the major low has been made, the Dow would need to climb over 17750 level on a weekly closing basis. Keep in mind we are in a string of Directional Changes for the next 3 weeks. So expect this to remain vulnerable and choppy. The maximum on the downside if we elect a monthly bearish is to 12900 to 13000 zone. There, a closing below 16013 will be at least a warning of weakness for month-end.

Crude – Is it Over? Or Just Another Fake-Out?

CRUDE-W 1-26-2016
Crude has made a slight bounce, but it need desperately to close above $32.35 today just to pause. There is no change of a real reversal in trend here. Crude would need to closing above the $38.35 area just to hint that the low might be in place. Our timing targets are still pointing to this week/New Week. If this turns out to be a reaction high, then a rout to the downside may yet be in the cards. We have a Monthly Bearish coming into play at $36.65, $35.13, $33.30 and a key one at $30.10 followed by $28.25. So we would have to close above $36.65 to avoid a sell signal.

Gold the Bounce

GCNYNF-W 1-26-2016
Naturally, the gold promoters are out in force. The problem with their theories has always been that they are dead wrong. The REAL BULL MARKET will see the metals rise with equities. Right now, they focus on the stock market and yell buy gold because a depression is here. Here wee need to see a weekly closing above the 1143 level to raise any hope of a temporary low. Without that, we have a turning point in February which can be a high with a low moving into the next Benchmark target. A closing for January below the 1103 level will warn there is inherent weakness still lingering within this market. Next month, watch the 1097 level for that is key support. Break that and its looking into a low into the second benchmark.

Mining Industry in Collapse

The mining industry is in collapse. Everyone expanded dramatically expecting China to never stop buying. The loading up of debt is still likely to see many companies get in trouble. It is likely to see the entire industry be downgraded on a wholesale basis. Those looking at the miner stocks, should pay attention to the forecast on each one in Socrates. Some of the biggest will fall.

Yes, We Were Hit Hard With Global Warming

Blizzard Jan 23 2016
Yes, we were hit hard with global warming. It’s just like I remember from when I was a kid and my father pushed me out the window to dig us out so that we could open the front door.

Market Talk – January 28th, 2016

Japan opened weaker (mostly following the poor close on Wall Street) but was also influenced by the poor Retail Sales (Est -0.1% v’s actual -1.1%). However, after the initial shock prices recovered on rumors of additional stimulus expected to be announced tomorrow (following its two day policy meeting) but even that could not stop the Index from closing down 0.7%. Shanghai was also not so positive after opening in the red it remained heavy, extending its decline into the close. With the Index settling -2.9% we continue to hear concerns over the slowdown which also hit shares in Alibaba reputed to be down 3.7% today and also China Shipbuilding -10%. The Hang Seng however, closed firmer (+0.75%) as shares in Galaxy Entertainment rose 5.1% on better than expected December earnings.
All core European indices drifted lower as the day wore-on! Despite FTSE attempting to break the mould by the end of the day it too turned negative. DAX -2.4%, FTSE -1% and both CAC and IBEX down around 1.5%. Deutsche Bank got the blame for the poor DAX performance producing a $1.25bn Q4 pre-tax loss in its Investment Bank which was enough to send the shares down 5.4%. Banks shares were under pressure also in Italy after the Sovereign and EU allow Italian Bnaks to sell their holdings of so-called Non-Performing Loans (NPL’s). Shares in Banca Monte Paschi Siena closed down 7.9% and Banca Popolare di Milano declined 9.5%.
US shares had yet another volatile day eventually regaining yesterdays losses to close around +0.7% across the board. After yesterdays sentiment boaster (Face Book who reported after the close) and Amazon are the two stocks that are pulling this market along. With closes today of FB +15.5% and AMAZON +8.9% we even saw a bounce for Apple today (closing +0.7%).
Healthy gains also today for Oil after rumored reports Saudi (OPEC) and Russia were considering cutting production easing the glut that currently exists within the market. WTI and Brent closed firmer both recording close to 4.5% gains apiece.
Given the rebounds in many core markets we are seeing the USD’s rally return some of its gains. Today the Russian Rouble and the Turkish Lira saw a healthy fight back with also the DXY losing ground to close at 98.64 (-0.32%). Saw a good bounce also in the South African Rand (+1.7%) after the Reserve Bank raised rates by 50BP to 6.75%.
The US Treasury market was reasonably quiet as most of the activity remained in stocks. The US 10yr note closed almost unchanged at 1.98% (-1bp). 10yr Bund closed 0.405% (-4.5bp) Spread closed +157.5bp. Other 10yr yield closes are as follows:- Italy 1.51% (+1bp); Greece 9.18% (+11bp); Turkey 10.62% (-13bp) and finally UK 1.67% (-4bp).

Is a Slingshot Move Setting Up?

CSHSP-Y 1-28-2016
We have penetrated last year’s low in the cash S&P500, but not in the Dow yet. The Yearly Bearish does not come into play until we get to the bottom of the upward channel. Penetrating last year’s low is indeed setting the stage for the Slingshot. Everything on our models is clearly pointing to this trend extending into 2020, and instead of concluding by 2017 that will be the starting point.
We NEED the vast majority to get really bearish calling for the end of the world and declines of 50% to 90%. This is the fuel for the Slingshot we need in place, just as we saw in 1987.
We will be launching a special blog for those inside Socrates. This will be more technical and forecasting. Hopefully, this will start next week. We will make an announcement once it is available.

There will be a blog for the INVESTOR that gives long-term views for various aspects. Access to the INVESTOR will be $150 minimum annually per region. You may select one or more of the following regions: America, Asia, and/or Europe. If you want to access a particular market at any time, that is $25 annually per market. If you just want to look around the world, it is $2 per click per market. That way, if you just want to see what is happening in Shanghai without subscribing annually to that market, you are free to explore the world. The INVESTOR level provides the long-term view only from the monthly up to the yearly levels. The computer writes the view on a daily basis, so yes, it will change dynamically with the market developments.
The TRADER level will be launching soon. That will include the short-term daily to yearly and provide access to arrays, reversals, and technical analysis. You can save to charts to view every time you return. This basic service starts at $750 annually.
Dow-Trades-M Example
The TRADER RECOMMENDATION level is where you have access to see the trading recommendations in every market. Where does Socrates stand? Long or short?
Video Player
The INSTITUTIONAL service is geared toward big portfolio management. Here we get into asset allocation models with specific recommendations for shifting portfolios. This will monitor whatever you have in your portfolio and alert you to changes.
We will provide tablets with voice capability in and out four our Institutional level clients.

Socrates S&P 1-28-2016
We are still fixing minor bugs in the language, which is generated and ported. Keep in mind that the computer has to handle countless patterns of every market around the world. The number of possibilities for writing a report is off the charts. It will write a report and five minutes later it will be writing the same report on the same market; it will select different languages to express the same outcome. This is not some canned report filling in numbers. The computer actually articulates everything on its own.

Fox News vs Trump: In a Court of Law, Kelly Would Be Disqualified If She Were a Judge

Megyn Kelly
Megyn Kelly’s inappropriate statements to Trump when she was supposed to be an impartial moderator demonstrated that she should, by no means, ever moderate another debate. On this score, Trump is absolutely correct. Yet, it has gotten far worse. Fox News has revealed that it is really biased and should be disqualified from running any debate. Fox News tweeted this entirely unprofessional statement:
As a matter of law, if a judge becomes an active participant in the case, he is DISQUALIFIED. I do not care how many journalists at Fox News come out to defend Kelly. They are only revealing their own inappropriate judgments as they seek to dictate their terms to the entire nation. Their Tweet demonstrates they have bias. Sorry, FOX NEWS is dead wrong here. Below is the law governing this topic.
28 USC §144
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 898; May 24, 1949, ch. 139, § 65, 63 Stat. 99.)
This is the law and a clear definition of bias. Fox News is incompetent and their refusal to dismiss Kelly from the debate is entirely illegal in a court of law. Trump has stated his case. Kelly’s performance last time demonstrates that she is biased and not qualified to preside at any such debate. FOX NEWS is absolutely off base here and has demonstrated that it is participating in this issue which disqualifies them from even holding debates. Journalists claiming Trump will not dictate who should sit at that debate is no different than a corrupt court refusing to disqualify a biased judge. Those who have bashed Trump on this issue have shown that they have lost their journalistic unbiased qualification. This is now about manipulating the public to their personal view; not about reporting the facts or the truth to the public.
Trump’s statements:
“I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct,” he wrote on Twitter. “Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!”
In a later interview on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” he told host Bill O’Reilly that she was “highly overrated.”
“I have zero respect for Megyn Kelly. I don’t think she’s very good at what she does,” Trump said.

Guess Who Wants to Run As a Third-Party Candidate?

Michael Bloomberg
If things were not crazy enough, now we have ex-Salomon Brothers Michael Bloomberg saying he will run as a third-party candidate. Already, Kathy Kiely, the Washington news director at Bloomberg Politics, said she resigned from her post after growing uncomfortable with the way her outlet responded to news that Bloomberg is considering an independent White House bid. So we have Fox News hell bent on keeping career politicians in place, but they would then be a rival of Bloomberg News. So are we going to see the big mainstream media battling it out for their own candidates?
Well, I think the computer did a pretty good job forecasting a crazy presidential election for 2016 30+ years ago. Economics is just the key to EVERYTHING.

By Anonymous Patriots
Why would the government support false flag events?
This question would go through our minds every time we would see a new false flag event plastered all over the media.  Like many of you, we would think, “It has to be real, otherwise the government and participants would be engaging in treason.” But the narrative and the evidence never seem to match up.  How odd that at Sandy Hook and at San Bernardino there were so many responders from federal agencies and that other drills were already happening on the same day just a mile away.  Coincidence seemed unlikely for one event.  Totally unlikely for two.
It even seemed that the “official story” that was “fed” to the news agencies was filled with holes on purpose.  When 450 responders showed up in San Bernardino, including FEMA, ATF, Homeland Security, FBI, DoD, and all local agencies, within 14 minutes and had their lawn chairs and coolers set up while most of them walked around aimlessly with no worries in the world, we couldn’t take it anymore.  We had always known that “false flags” usually precede severe military action and we couldn’t really imagine military action within US domestic borders since the military is not empowered to act against its own citizens.
Therefore, we decided to WAKE UP and study the false flag phenomena. Don’t presume to think this is just another conspiracy theory article.  What you will read will chill you to the bone. We know this is a long article, but while you were sleeping much has been done to destroy your country. You need to see the immense work that is being done behind your back to destroy your beloved country. And, most important, when you get to the end of the article, we have a CITIZEN CALL TO ARMS.
We beseech you, our fellow Americans, to read this article and pass it along to others. Unplug your electronic tethers and read this very important article.  If not for you, then the children and loved ones in your life who will live like slaves in this hellish New World Order that is already here.  Our patriotic duty was to do the research; yours is to read and distribute to other patriots.
Like many of you, we believe that 9-11 was a false flag event. We don’t know exactly who, what, why and how, but we know that when overwhelming circumstantial evidence points in the opposite direction of the official story, something is wrong.  So when the Sandy Hook and San Bernardino events unfolded, we became very uneasy as these events seemed to be a new type of false flag.  In both events, the president was demanding that Americans give up their guns and constitutional rights even before the fake pools of blood on the steps of the Sandy Hook school dried.
Actually, the pools of blood on the sidewalk at Sandy Hook were the first indicator of fraud: two uncoagulated pools of liquid blood without a trail of blood, without any victims ever coming out of the building to “make” the pools, and authorities ignoring them and not even treating them as part of a crime scene.  Every picture we saw or video we listened to was completely fake and looked more like a drill.  Nothing added up.  In San Bernardino there were ten different “black SUV” pictures released that are completely contradictory.  An alarm kept going off in our heads saying, “Why are they purposely releasing contrary evidence as though they didn’t care that the evidence made them complicit with a crime, or even treason?”
We started studying the evidence. We were beyond the basic evidence—that crisis actors were used to stage both events and multiple government agencies showed up within minutes.  But one thing that totally took us by surprise is that San Bernardino was the site of the largest Jade Helm 2015 military maneuvers.  We asked ourselves, “Why would so many people, including so many U.S. government agencies, be involved in deceiving Americans?”  It took courage to look beyond the first veil of illusion.
If you have followed Sandy Hook and San Bernardino you realize that no one (except the patsies) are killed.  No one dies; therefore, no crime has been committed.  This knowledge gave us some comfort, but raised many questions concerning false flag events in America.
What is the goal of the recent (since 2012) false flag events?
Who gains from the appearance of insidious criminal events?
What mechanisms are used to silence so many participants, i.e. paid crisis actors, government agencies?
How do these agencies “get away with” using creating lies, distortions, and false flags? Wouldn’t that be called propaganda?
After pondering these questions relentlessly, we lifted another veil of illusion. We asked, “What if these activities to manipulate public opinion were legal?  Could there be a law that protects the president and US agencies (local, state, and federal) from conducting false flag event?  So we changed our focus and began to research false flags as being legal propaganda.  We found the answers in plain sight.  We were beyond disbelief when we discovered that the US Congress has passed laws, post 9-11, that makes state-sponsored propaganda legal.  Take a moment and think about that before reading on.
Our research lead us to discover the tenets of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 which makes it legal to propagate and broadcast propaganda within America.  We are all being treated like enemy combatants whose “perception” must be managed to come in line with presidential “national security” policies.  The Department of Defense may now broadcast propaganda with the approval and authority of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) both internationally and domestically.  Just Google it folks.  There is actually an agency with this name.
Perception Management
Any presidential policy may be accompanied by broadcasts that use subliminal programming as part of perception management.  These mechanisms that squelch dissent have been used since the Reagan Administration to shape public opinion to support administrative policies.  Wars require domestic support and these “black ops” programs started to use the “psy-ops” tools of the military.  DARPA, the research and development arm of the military, has created many tools to control the enemy through media that shapes public perception, which we will elucidate later in this article.  It is called perception management and has been used legally in advertising since the late seventies and also in electronic warfare throughout the world to “brain-wash” our enemies and shape their perception and opinion of America.
The only question left was the issue of what the goal of the president (or the real powers behind him—the Council on Foreign Relations) might be, besides the obvious one of having few people who disagree with his policies.  We then studied the United Nations Small Arms Treaty which Obama signed in 2011, but couldn’t get Congress to ratify.  In this treaty we found the goal Obama is driving towards — disarm America, with the help of the United Nations But two things have to happen: 1) we have to give up our guns or have them taken from us and 2) the UN has to have a military presence in our country.  Keep in mind that the United Nations cannot have a military presence in our country, unless invited.
Have you already started connecting the dots? Remember seeing all of the images of all that UN military equipment that was distributed throughout America during Jade Helm 2015?  It seemed that besides the San Bernardino exercises, moving UN heavy military equipment throughout America was the only thing that we noticed happening during Jade Helm 2015.  Another veil lifted.  Obama’s job was to go for a gun grab, either by Congressional action or UN treaty.  But patriots started waking up and our elected officials in Congress could not ratify the United Nations Small Arms Treaty.  So Obama and his political minions began to manufacture false flags, hoping that our horror to Sandy Hook and San Bernardino would cause us to lay down our rights and guns.
Keep in mind, that false flag incidents and state-sponsored propaganda could not be considered treasonous acts against Americans as Congress (through the NDAA) had made treason–legal.
Congress Does Not Ratify Gun-Taking Treaty
Congress would not, and has not, ratified the UN Small Arms Treaty, nor would they vote on Second Amendment restrictions.  So false flags were used to create conscious and “unconscious” support of a national gun grab.  Sandy Hook was the most heinous “example” of what “guns do.”  Incredible anti-gun sentiment was created by Sandy Hook and people still reel from it with anger and hatred for “people on drugs” and “gun lovers.”  San Bernardino happened right before the congressional vote on gun control.  And even with images of San Bernardino a day before the congressional vote on gun control, Obama lost his attempt for gun restrictions.
Now do you see why he has taken things into his own hands and signed into effect 23 Executive Orders that move his gun control policies forward in contradistinction to the fact that Congress rejected such ideas? The motive became quite clear once you read the UN Treaty – to dismantle the Second Amendment and disarm America.  Since Obama couldn’t use the United Nations or Congress to get his way, he just wrote his own laws and pretends like Executive Orders outrank congressional law.Obama is behind the UN timeline of disarmament, since the other nations who signed the treaty have already begun to disarm its citizens.
Controlling the Human Domain
Once we understood the goal and the legalization of propaganda, with its insidious DARPA electronic war devices, the rest fell into place as one Internet search after the next revealed the truth before our eyes.  This is shocking and almost inconceivable.  But it is law (NDAA) and Congress did not stop this law from being passed.
Another question is why our elected officials did not call out the president in using subliminal programming, psy-ops perception management and war-like marketing strategies to shape public opinion?  Simple. They use it themselves in their own campaigns.  Subliminal programming is openly used in the broadcasting industry – that’s why people believe untruths from the news and watch mindless TV while drinking their cola beverage (It’s the Real Thing) and imagining that the official story on main stream media is the only story.
As Jade Helm 2015 taught us, the military is interested in Controlling the Human Domain, the very motto of their operation emblazoned on their logo.  Fellow patriots, we are in a war which is coming from all sides towards the middle.  We cannot trust authorities and politicians to have our best interest at heart.  We need to wake up and observe more carefully and ask more questions even when a nagging voice in the back of our minds says, “It is the official story, I should not question it,” or “I should trust my elected officials to come forward and blow a whistle if such heinous propaganda was being perpetrated upon unsuspecting Americans.”  Better yet, perhaps we need to know how we are being controlled!  So before we lose you in our web of deception and lies, remember that Jade Helm is telling us that the goal is to control the human domain.
First we need to drill down on some of the basic terms and strategies before we bring the full picture into view.  Stay with us and keep reading, fellow patriots.
The Deceptive Art of Perception Management
Throughout human history, governments have been interested in “mastering the human domain.” The mind control of their populations, what we once called propaganda, is now called perception management, political diplomacy and other such deceptive names.  This theme is echoed in the slogan for Jade Helm, “Mastering the human domain.”
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which was just updated for 2016, provides that the Department of Defense, through the Broadcasting Board of Governors, controls all broadcasting both international and domestic.  Therefore, Obama is acting legally carrying out “false flag” events inside the US borders.  Obama is not a traitor for this activity; he is a lawyer who made it legal to be a traitor. Obama is not only at war with Syria, Libya, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen; he is also at war with Americans who don’t support his policies.
Obama has made a commitment to disarm Americans called the United Nation’s Small Arms Treaty This treaty is consistent with his efforts to dismantle the Second Amendment.  It is this motivation that seems to have driven his non-stop agenda for disarming America and empowering the executive branch of the government, i.e., his own agenda of bombing sovereign nations and bringing America under the control of the United Nations and his administration.  This, coupled with his continued efforts to broaden his powers through the NDAA, Executive Orders, and Presidential Policy Directives creates a clear picture of manipulating public sentiment with the force of a military war on his American opponents.
United Nations Small Arms Treaty
In 2011 Obama signed the United Nations Small Arms Treaty and since then there have been 108 mass shootings in America in less than a 4 year period.  In the four years before Obama was elected (2003-2007) there was a total of 27 mass shootings. Prior to 2003 there was an average of 2.5 mass shootings per year.  In 2015 alone, there have been over 58. That is over 20 times higher than it was before. (MSA Data, 2015)
The Small Arms Guns Treaty has been passed by the UN and is ready to go into effect across the world. The treaty passed in the general assembly in April 2013.  The treaty, which seeks to prevent and control the illicit trade of weapons while regulating the international trade of them, includes measures such as creating a national gun registry; mandating control of firearms and ammunition; regulating the manufacture of gun parts; and limiting stores’ ability to sell firearms. The NRA and a bipartisan majority of pro-gun Senators have succeeded in blocking this treaty’s ratification in the United States.  This treaty violates the Second Amendment. For any UN treaty to have any effect on American laws, it must first be ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.
NDAA Provides for Legal Propaganda
Through the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act the US government has the legal regulation to use propaganda against foreign audiences and American citizens. The intention is to sway public opinion by using television, radio, newspapers, and social media targeting American and foreign targets in controlled psy-ops or perception management.
The NDAA has an amendment added that negates the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 (SMA) and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987.  These laws made propaganda used to influence foreigners and US citizens illegal. The Broadcasting Board of Governors is not new as it was created from SMA; although today it is quite a different agency as you will read.  Originally, this agency claimed to “inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy.”
Amendment 114 of the NDAA was approved by the House in May of 2012.
(b)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the Secretary and the Broadcasting Board of Governors may, upon request and reimbursement of the reasonable costs incurred in fulfilling such a request, make available, in the United States, motion pictures, films, video, audio, and other materials prepared for dissemination abroad or disseminated abroad.
According to Michael Hastings:  “The new law would give sweeping powers to the State Department and Pentagon to push television, radio, newspaper, and social media onto the U.S. public.”
Representatives Mac Thornberry (R-TX) and Adam Smith (D-WA) in the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act (2012) (H.R. 5736), advocate that it is time to liberate the authority of the US government to broadcast American produced foreign propaganda in the U.S.
The amendment empowers the State Department and Pentagon to utilize all forms of media against the American public for the sake of coercing US citizens to believe whatever version of the truth the US government wants them to believe.  All oversight is removed with Amendment 114.  Regardless of whether the information disseminated is truthful, partially truthful or completely false bears no weight.
Four billion dollars per year is spent by the Pentagon on propaganda aimed at the American public; as well as $202 million spent by the Department of Defense on misinformation operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2011. The Pentagon is using fake handles on social media sites to purvey false information, harass users and enact perception management to influence Americans. Sophisticated software allows military to engage in online conversations with coordinated answers, blog comments and instant messaging remarks that are solely meant to spread pro-American propaganda.
This new perception management is called Information Operations (IO), which is defined as “the integrated employment of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while protecting our own.”
Repealing the Smith-Mundt Act allows the direct deployment of these tactics on the American public.
Information Operations activities are undertaken to shape the essential narrative of a conflict or situation and thus affect the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted audience and equates descriptions of combat operations with standard marketing strategies. With the NDAA 2012 in its current form, the State Department and Pentagon can go beyond manipulating mainstream media outlets and directly disseminate campaigns of misinformation to the U.S. public.  Successful wars require domestic acceptance.
The NDAA 2012 – specifically Section 1021(b)(2) – has already institutionalized the U.S. military’s ability to indefinitely detain, without charge or trial, citizens and non-citizens alike.  Major parts of the legislation are based on the assumption that key legal protections for individuals are incompatible with the requirements of national security.
The purpose of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 is “to authorize the domestic dissemination of information and material about the United States intended primarily for foreign audiences.”  The act was added to the 2013 NDAA bill as section of 1078 to amend certain passages of Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 passed Congress as part of the NDAA 2013 on December 28, 2012.  Amendments made to the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987 allow for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be released within US borders.
National Defense Resources Preparedness Order
In 2012 Obama signed an order called National Defense Resources Preparedness giving himself explicit control over the nation and declaring a permanent state of Martial Law in the U.S.  The very same year, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which gave the U.S. Government the right to detain anyone for anything indefinitely. He has renewed that order every year since then. The Obama administration was even able to get a court ruling overturned after the ruling had successfully removed the Indefinite Detention provision from the NDAA.
Virginia Wakes Up
A bill introduced in the Virginia assembly (HB 2144) would take the next step in stopping illegal federal kidnapping under the 2012 NDAA. Virginia stood alone and passed the first bill in the country addressing detention provisions written into the NDAA in 2012. That law forbids state agencies, in some situations, from cooperating with any federal attempts to exercise the indefinite detention provisions written into sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act.
What Did They Say about NDAA?
“NDAA, and SOPA would put us on a par with the most oppressive nations in the world.” Sergey Brin, Google co-founder
“I never thought I would have to write this: but – incredibly – Congress has now passed the National Defense Appropriations Act, with Amendment 1031, which allows for the military detention of American citizens.”  Naomi Wolf, author
“…bold and dangerous attempt to establish martial law in America.”  Presidential candidate Rand Paul
“…was carefully crafted to mislead the public.”  Justin Amash, U. S. Representative
“Provisions that were snuck into the bill with little notice from mainstream media could spell indefinite detention without a hearing, keep Guantanamo open, and hinder fair trials.”  Amnesty International
“Myth #3: U.S. citizens are exempted from this new bill: This is simply false, at least when expressed so definitively and without caveats. The bill is purposely muddled on this issue which is what is enabling the falsehood.”  Glenn Greenwald, constitutional lawyer
“What the American People are witnessing now with this new legislation is the further development of an American Police State into a Military Dictatorship, a process that was started by the so-called USA Patriot Act in 2001.”  “If it is enacted into law, America will lose all pretense of having our Military subjected to the control of democratically elected civilian leaders as originally envisioned and required by the Constitution.  Professor Francis Boyle, constitutional law authority at the University of Illinois, Champaign.
NDAA Versions Continue to Erode Bill of Rights and Constitution
NDAA 2013
The 2013 version of the NDAA allows the State Department and Defense Department to direct the same kind of massive propaganda campaigns here in the U.S. that are presently waged as part of American war efforts in foreign lands The US government propaganda is directed at the American people with the belief that successful wars require domestic acceptance.
The 2013 NDAA overturned a 64-year ban on the domestic dissemination of propaganda which is described as public diplomacy information. It preaches freedom of the press abroad while practicing censorship at home. The resources and personnel who focus on talking about America overseas are diverted in favor of domestic perception management. There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false.
NDAA 2014
NDAA 2014 underwrote $662 billion for continued US aggression in our many foreign wars while, on the domestic front, it violates the Bill of Rights. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, it authorizes presidents “to order the military to pick up and imprison people, including U.S. citizens, without charging them or putting them on trial.”
The ACLU charges the provisions of NDAA “were negotiated by a small group of members of Congress, in secret, and without proper congressional review (and), are inconsistent with fundamental American values embodied in the Constitution….(our) fundamental freedoms are on the line.”
We had already had many of the provisions of the Bill of Rights supplanted by the Patriot Act.  President Carter has denounced the Patriot Act for authorizing federal agents “to search people’s homes and businesses secretly, to confiscate property without any deadline or without giving notice that the intrusion had taken place, and to collect without notice personal information on American citizens including their medical histories, books checked out of libraries, and goods they purchase.”
NDAA 2016
The National Defense Authorization Act for 2016 is costing Americans $612 billion. Obama skirts around the Constitution by having the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Sections 1021 and 1022, which authorizes indefinite military detention, without charge or without trial, any person, including an American citizen, and applies the “Laws of War,” to U.S. soil, making the United States legally a battlefield.
Obama claims he will develop “An Appropriate Legal Regime” to permanently detain people prior to having committed any crime.  The idea of these detentions would be to prevent any individual from committing a possible future crime. Obama says that he might detain someone up to ten years before they might commit a crime.  The NDAA removes all of the rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights except the 2nd Amendment, and you know how hard Obama is trying to get rid of that also.
Obama’s Executive Orders
President Obama has been using executive orders (EO’s) in ways they have never been used before. He is using them to do end-runs around Congress by legislating from the White House. Some EO’s are dormant but pose a potential future threat. One of those is EO 13603 which was signed EO 13603 on March 16, 2012. The purpose is to delegate authority and address “National Defense” resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950. It provides the framework and authority for the allocation or appropriation of resources, materials and services to promote “National Defense.”  It is an update of a prior EO’s on the National Defense Resources Preparedness. One difference which is concerning is that the definition “national emergency” is now broader and quite vague.
Executive Order 13603 – National Defense Resources Preparedness allows the government to completely control our lives through the “industrial and technological base,” should the president declare a “national emergency.”  It gives Obama the power over “all commodities and products capable of being ingested by human beings and animals; all forms of energy; all forms of civil transportation; all usable water from all sources; health resources; forces labor such as military conscription; and federal officials can issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources.”
Presidential Policy Directives
In the Barack Obama Administration, the directives that are used to promulgate Presidential decisions on National Security” matters are designated Presidential Policy Directives (PPDs). Directives that are used to initiate policy review procedures are called Presidential Study Directives (PSDs).  In May 2013, the  Administration issued a previously unknown category of directive known as a Presidential Policy Guidance (PPG).
Presidential Policy Directives have the same legal force as an Executive Order, forming a body of largely secret law Executive Orders are public and must be published in the Federal Register whereas PPDs are not.  It is a secret law.
President Obama’s directive on hostage policy was originally released as Presidential Policy Directive numbered PPD-29. When the White House corrected that number to PPD-30, it meant Obama had issued a secret directive as PPD-29.  Of the 30 PPDs issued by Obama, 19 have not been released. And for 11 of those, the White House has not disclosed even the subject of the order.  Not even Congress has a copyIt’s a domain of unchecked presidential authority.
Alarming Trends in the Military
Since Obama took office, an unprecedented number of top military leaders have been removed from their posts – nearly 200 generals, flag officers and other high-ranking officials. They are being “removed” at a rate of about one per week.  In 2013, an ex-Navy Seal came forward and warned that Obama is firing soldiers who say they would not fire upon US Citizens if ordered.
Recently, the Department of Homeland Security was caught buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, enough to have sustained our war in Iraq for twenty years.Earlier this year, the DHS purchased another 62 million rounds of AR-15 hollow point ammo claiming it was allocated for “target practice.”
The military wants to transform Information Operations into a core military competency on a par with air, ground, maritime and special operations including: the integrated employment of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO),psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while protecting our own.
IO intends to shape the essential narrative of a conflict or situation and thus affect the attitudes and behaviors of the targeted audience and equates combat operations with standard marketing strategies.
History of American Internal Propaganda and the BBG
In January 1983, President Reagan took the first formal step to create an unprecedented peacetime propaganda bureaucracy by signing National Security Decision Directive 77, entitled “Management of Public Diplomacy Relative to National Security.” Reagan deemed it “necessary to strengthen the organization, planning and coordination of the various aspects of public diplomacy of the United States Government.”  Reagan ordered the creation of a special planning group within the National Security Council to direct these “public diplomacy” campaigns. This group was run through the Department of Defense.
The DoD’s Broadcasting Board of Governors traces its beginnings to the early Cold War years, as a covert propaganda project of the newly-created Central Intelligence Agency to wage “psychological warfare” against Communist regimes and others deemed a threat to US interests.  In 1948, National Security Council Directive 10/2 officially authorized the CIA to engage in “covert operations” against the Communist Menace. Clause 5 of the directive defined “covert operations” as “propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states,including assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrillas and refugee liberation groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.”  Propaganda quickly became one of the key weapons in the CIA’s covert operations arsenal. The agency established and funded radio stations, newspapers, magazines, historical societies, research institutes, and cultural programs all over Europe.
The BBG was officially formed in 1999 and ran on a $721 million dollar annual budget. It reports directly to the Secretary of State and operates a host of Cold War-era CIA spinoffs and “psychological warfare” projects: Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Radio Martí, Voice of America, Radio Liberation from Bolshevism and a dozen other government-funded radio stations and media outlets pumping out pro-American propaganda across the globe.
The BBG is managed by a military think-tank and is no longer funded by the CIA’s black budget.  Its role in “psychological warfare” continues but its operations are openly funded. The BBG and its subsidiaries still engage in propaganda warfare, subversion and soft-power projection against anyone deemed hostile to US interests and “National Security.” And it is still deeply intertwined with the same military and CIA-connected intelligence organizations. The Broadcasting Board of Governors runs a propaganda network that blankets the globe.
The BBG is also involved in the technology of post-Cold War, Internet-era propaganda. It has bankrolled satellite Internet access in Iran and continues to fund an SMS-based social network in Cuba called Piramideo.
As the BBG outlined in a 2013 fact sheet for its “Internet Anti-Censorship” unit: “The BBG collaborates with other Internet freedom projects and organizations, including RFA’s Open Technology Fund, the State Department, USAID, and DARPA's SAFER Warfighter Communications Program. IAC is also reaching out to other groups interested in Internet freedom such as Google, Freedom House and the National Endowment for Democracy’s Center for International Media Assistance.”
Today, the Congressionally-funded federal agency is also one of the biggest backers of grassroots and open-source Internet privacy technology. These investments started in 2012, when the BBG launched the “Open Technology Fund” (OTF).  The BBG endowed Radio Free Asia’s Open Technology Fund with a multimillion dollar budget and a single task: “to fulfill the US Congressional global mandate for Internet freedom.”
The Open Technology Fund supports many new encryption programs like: CryptoCat, Tor, Open Whisper Systems, LEAP, GlobaLeaks, ChatSecure, and Orbot.  In 2014, Congress increased the BBG’s “Internet freedom” budget to $25 million. In 2014, OTF launched a coordinated project with Dropbox and Google to make free, easy-to-use privacy tools, and Facebook announced it was incorporating the underlying encryption technology of one of OTF’s flagship projects – Open Whisper Systems – into its WhatsApp text messaging service.
It should seem suspicious that DoD’s money would be so warmly welcomed by some of the Internet’s fiercest anti-government activists.  Why is a federally-funded CIA spinoff with decades of experience in “psychological warfare” suddenly blowing tens of millions in government funds on privacy tools meant to protect people from being surveilled by another arm of the very same government?   It is called: “Perception Management.”
Perception Management Is Being Used Against You
The factors that influence the targeted audience consist of the following:
Ambiguity: If ambiguity increases, the perceiver may find it harder to form an accurate perception.
Social status: a person’s real or perceived position in society or in an organization.
Impression management: an attempt to control the perceptions or impressions of others.
The phrase “perception management” has often functioned as a euphemism for “an aspect of information warfare.” The distinction between “perception management” and public diplomacy, which “does not, as a rule, involve falsehood and deception,whereas these are important ingredients of perception management; the purpose is to get the other side to believe what one wishes it to believe, whatever the truth may be.”
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
The term “perception management” is not new to the lexicon of government language. For years the FBI has listed foreign perception management as one of eight “key issue threats” to “National Security”, including it with terrorism, attacks on critical US infrastructure, and weapons proliferation among others. The FBI clearly recognizes perception management as a threat when it is directed at the US by foreign governments. Deception and sleight of hand are important in gaining advantages in war, both to gain domestic support of the operations and for the military against the enemy
In late 2001, after 9/11, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld created the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Influence (OSI). The Office of Special Plans was created with a goal of selective intelligence vetting outside the normal chartered intelligence apparatus, with foreign propaganda activities moved to the Office of Information Activities under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict.  Strategic influence, special plans, psychological operations(psy-ops), and perception management are all direct synonyms within the DoD.
The DoD has identified the information domain as its new “asymmetric flank.” The level of use of perception management is continuing to grow throughout the military. There are now specialists, known as psychological operations officers and civil affairs officers, whose only purpose is to decide how to present information/propaganda to the media and to the people of the current country.
False Flag (Perception Management) Characteristics
Let’s compare what Wikipedia tells us are the “12 basic strategies of perception management” with what might be its counterpart in “characteristics of a false flag event.”
Ambiguity: if ambiguity increases, the perceiver finds it harder to form an accurate perception.
Counterpart: Eyewitnesses have conflicting accounts.
Social status: targeting a person’s position in society or in an organization
Counterpart: The official narrative has obvious domestic and geopolitical advantages for the governing body
Impression managementthe perceptions or impressions of others
Preparation – having clear goals and knowing the ideal position you want people to hold.
Counterpart: Military and law enforcement training drills occur on the same day very close by causing confusion to obscure eye-witness testimony and allow orchestrators to plant both patsies, disinformation and backup operatives. Immediate calls for gun control or restricting civil liberties.
Credibility – all information uses prejudices or expectations to increase credibility.
Counterpart: News agencies keep saying that they are “being given reports” or “being told” and do not cite who reported or told them the unconfirmed information they broadcast as real.
Multi-channel support – have multiple arguments and fabricated facts to reinforce your information.
Counterpart:  No obvious motive for the mass attack and no prior indicators. Shooter leaves manifesto or lots of evidence “proving” they were “radicalized” or “on drugs” or other were other undesirables.
Centralized control – employ entities to promote propaganda.
Counterpart: Fake “victims” and crisis actors.
Security – the nature of the deception campaign is known by few.
Counterpart: All drill participants and crisis actors sign Non-disclosure Agreements with “National
Security” clause promising swift and severe punishment if broken. Everyone involved is on a “need to know” basis and kept in the dark about the overall intent of the event.
Flexibility – the deception campaign adapts and changes over time as needs change.
Counterpart: Evidence gets destroyed or tampered with and the details don’t matter because the culprits are dead.  No more interest in an investigation.
Coordination – organize in a hierarchy to maintain consistent distribution of information.
Counterpart: The federal agencies trump the local law enforcement agencies due to the “National
Security” element of the drill which is ultimately controlled by the Department of Defense.
Concealment – contradicting information is destroyed.
Counterpart: Culprit is dead and evidence disappears from news reports, Internet, and media. Patsy has no military training, yet shoots extremely fast and accurately but no authority looks at the evidence.
Untruthful statements – fabricate the truth.
Counterpart:  Families of “victims” have acting backgrounds and receive payoffs in GoFundMe
accounts and direct payoffs, especially mortgages. They often show little to no emotion, and even smile or laugh. The lie perpetuates and the “official story” is shaped by the media into truth.
Narrative Networks
In 2015, DARPA’s “Narrative Networks” (or N2) program is producing results.  The project is intended to analyze how “narratives” play into human psychology, delving into the way these constructs affect the mind.  A narrative is a way of phrasing something, a choice of words that is likely a biased strategy to frame information.
Narratives exert a powerful influence on human thoughts, emotions and behavior and can be particularly important in security contexts. Conflict resolution and counter terrorism scenarios and detecting the neural response underlying empathy induced by stories is of critical importance.”  From DARPA researchers in a paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods.
Mastery of “narratives” could potentially be used to manipulate the perception of a population using platforms of communication like television to subtly and potently make a person think a certain way.
Governments often use stories to present information, so understanding how we comprehend them is important,” said co-author Eric Schumacher, an associate professor of psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Researchers observed a phenomenon of “tunnel vision,” or impaired reasoning, triggered in the brain when viewers processed a suspenseful moment.  When suspense grew, brain activity in the viewers’ peripheral vision decreased.
The US Military has a long history of funding psychological experiments, some entrenched in human rights violations.  Now we have the Pentagon-funded DARPA program which pays researchers at colleges and other scientists millions of dollars to enhance and bolster methods of war. Such work places great technological power in the hands of the Department of Defense.
DARPA’s Narrative Networks as Mind-Control
DARPA launched the Narrative Networks program to understand how narratives influence human cognition and behavior, and apply those findings in international security contexts. Narratives may consolidate memory, shape emotions, cue heuristics and biases in judgment, and influence group distinctions.
The Narrative Networks Program has three parallel tracks of research and development:
Develop quantitative analytic tools to study narratives and their effects on human behavior in security contexts;
Analyze the neurobiological impact of narratives on hormones and neurotransmitters, reward processing, and emotion-cognition interaction; and
Develop models and simulations of narrative influence in social and environmental contexts, develop sensors to determine their impact on individuals and groups, and suggest doctrinal modifications.
DARPA is studying Narrative Comprehension and Persuasion in a study entitled: Toward Narrative Disruptors and Inductors: Mapping the Narrative Comprehension Network and Its Persuasive Effects. The DARPA-funded research project ($6.1 million) is studying the effectiveness of different narratives in efforts of mass persuasion. Using MRI and EEG they will map areas of the brain involved in narrative comprehension and even attempt to enhance or disrupt narrative understanding using this information as well as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It will study the neurobiology of narrative comprehension, validate narrative theories and explore the connection between narrative and persuasion. This groundbreaking research study will employ multi-modal neuro-imaging, combining the temporal resolution of EEG with the spatial resolution of MRI.
This project will provide empirical evidence integrating brain regions and cognitive processes into a neural network of narrative comprehension. By virtue of the experimental design, these relationships will also directly inform the primary aspects of narrative and strategic communication under examination: narrative validity, narrative transportation, and vertical integration. The empirical correlation of narrative theory to neurocognitive activity is an important advance in the understanding of narrative and how the brain governs narrative comprehension.
The programs goals include:
Integrate narrative theory, neuroimaging, and persuasive outcomes.
Resolve conceptual problems in narrative and psychology of religion.
Produce significant innovations in the study of the neuropsychology of narrative.
Generate practical innovations.
Tests key narrative theories from communication, literary studies, and psychology.
Uses stimuli based on religious master narratives.
Understand the psychological effects of particular message features.
Attend to the relationship between narrative and political violence in contested populations.
Disrupt or enhance aspects of narrative structure, and/or brain functioning, to minimize or maximize persuasive effects on subject proclivity to engage in political violence.
Mapping the Narrative Comprehension Network will provide empirical leverage for developing models of narrative comprehension that are biologically plausible. Moreover, the current research will establish how narrative elicits persuasion in the brain.
Predicting a particular narrative message influence on an audience.
Introducing new stories into the narrative system to disrupt its coherence.
Rational logic aspires to be objective, repeatable, consistent and impersonal, whereas narrative logic works on completely different principles. It is rooted in the simultaneously cognitive and emotional processing of information that marks human behavior, and finds its validity in principles of coherence and fidelity. These qualities help explain the seemingly irrational persuasive power of narrative and provide guidance for how to manipulate narrative stimuli in order to accurately map the Narrative Comprehension Network in the brain.
Culture provides schema, or templates, for ordering narrative data (top-down); individuals process incoming story data and organize it with a selected schema. The process continues until comprehension is achieved, or lack of comprehension mandates implementation of a new schema. A master narrative can be seen as an exemplar narrative schema. Because master narratives embody specific cultural values, they can be strategically deployed as an explanatory frame for current events in order to encourage a particular interpretation and for persuasive purposes. Master narratives execute ideological functions, positioning these cultural values as naturalized and universal.
Vertical integration is achieved when personal, local and master narratives all line up consistently. This congruence formulates a powerful model for identity formation and persuasion. Cognitive processes that are indicated by vertical integration to be part of the Narrative Comprehension Network include: self-recognition, identity, and theory of mind (to see oneself in a story), pattern recognition (to see parallels between master narratives and contemporary situations), and memory (to remember the master narrative elements).
Subliminal Mind Control – SSSS
The “Sound of Silence” is a military-intelligence code-word for certain psychotronic weapons of mass mind-control tested in the mid-1950s, perfected during the 70s, and used extensively by the US military in the early 90s.  This weapon is based on subliminal carrier technology, or the Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS).   It was developed for military use by Dr. Oliver Lowery of Norcross, Georgia, and is described in US Patent #5,159,703 – “Silent Subliminal Presentation System” for commercial use in 1992.
The patent abstract reads:
“A silent communications system in which non-aural carriers, in the very low (ELF) or very high audio-frequency (VHF) range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude- or frequency-modulated with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones, or piezoelectric transducers. The modulated carriers may be transmitted directly in real time or may be conveniently recorded and stored on mechanical, magnetic, or optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the listener.”
The Sound of Silence Spread Spectrum broadcasting equipment allows for the implantation of thoughts, emotions, and even prescribed physical actions into human beings.  In the private sector SSSS goes by the name  Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached brand names like BrainSpeak and Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products.
It is a technology that uses subliminal programming that is carried over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) broadcast waves, planting inaudible messages directly into the subconscious human mind Perfected more than twenty years ago by the DoD and battlefield-tested upon Iraqi soldiers in the Gulf War during 1991, SSSS is a proven weapon.
The US Government has plans to extend the range of this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries through BBG broadcasts SSSS is completely undetectable by those being targeted and it delivers its subliminal programming directly to the human brain via the auditory sense at frequencies that humans are incapable of perceiving as sound, there is no defense against it. Coupled with the use of supercomputers, an individual’s unique electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns can be digitally altered and then stored for rebroadcast via digital UHF. Computer-enhanced EEGs can identify and isolate the brain’s low-amplitude emotion signature clusters, synthesize them and they can then be broadcast over TV and radio signals directly into the brain where they can then silently trigger the same basic emotion in another human being.
DARPA and Social Media
The SMISC program has invested millions of dollars investigating social media, social networks, and how information spreads across them. One study, funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), entitled “Containment Control for a Social Network with State-Dependent Connectivity” demonstrates that the mathematical principles used to control groups of autonomous robots can be applied to social networks in order to control human behavior. If properly calibrated, the mathematical models developed by Dixon and his fellow researchers could be used to sway the opinion of social networks toward a desired set of behaviors.  It is called soft Info-warfare.
DARPA launched its SMISC program in 2011 to examine ways social networks could be used for propaganda and what broadly falls under the title of Military Information Support Operations (MISO), formerly known as Psychological Operations – psy-ops. The SMISC program includes studies that analyze Twitter, investigate the spread of Internet memes; automatically identifying deceptive content in social media with linguistic cues; and modeling user attitude toward controversial topics in online social media.  It models how collaboration between “key influencers” in social networks could affect the behavior of groups within the network by using the principle of “containment control.”
British intelligence agency GCHQ has developed tools specifically aimed at leveraging social media for “effects” operations. The organization has shared its methods with the NSA, and these capabilities have been used in Afghanistan and elsewhere to “shape” information available to members of targeted organizations online and via mobile phones.
The Department of Defense already uses some social media manipulation techniques as part of its “information support” operations, targeting message boards and websites associated with foreign groups that are considered “extremist.”  In April, the Associated Press uncovered an effort by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2009 to create ZunZuneo, a Twitter-like mobile social network aimed at undermining the Communist regime in Cuba. The research that DoD is financing has much broader cultural implications than as a tool of information warfare against adversaries abroad.
Psy-Ops and DARPA
DARPA’s new ultrasonic neural interface devices can frame information as narratives which shape, explain, and make sense of dataCognitive computers themselves can also do this – creating news articles from pooled data with no human being involved. What used to be called propaganda is now called “strategic communications” that tell a stories or create narrative networks.  DARPA is focused on creating counter-narratives, or stories they believe will counteract the effects of radicalization.
The Ultrasonic Neural Interface Program is used to affect changes in a person’s beliefs, their sense of identity, and even memory, partly because they stimulate the release of brain chemicals. Neural interfaces and narrative networks can manipulate the brain using electrical and/or magnetic energy. The most common is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). When targeted at a specific area in the brain, TMS can create a variety of effects, including emotional changes and bodily movement. Its goals were to: (i) map out the precise areas of the brain that are affected by stories; (ii) analyze how people respond to specific stories; and (iii) test ways of changing their response to a story, i.e. by altering the story format, and/or zapping their brains with TMS.  This technique is more properly referred to as neuromodulation, and involves stimulating the release of neurotransmitters by targeting specific areas of the brain with electromagnetic pulses.
DARPA’s research has found that stories affect our emotions, our cultural and religious beliefs, and even memory. In other words, the narratives we hear (on TV, in the news, blogs, tweets, etc) affect important brain chemicals, and therefore our very identities. So do pulsed electromagnetic fields – such as TMS.
DARPA is clearly aware of the vast range of possible applications for these devices, and have also been funding a new way of altering brain chemistry, called pulsed ultrasound. Focused ultrasound can deliver, “complex spatio-temporal patterns of acoustic waves” to achieve similar results to TMS, but has a spatial resolution which is five times greater, and can reach far deeper into the brain. Ultrasound can be used to activate reward pathways (dopamine) in the brain which may be used to condition and/or reinforce certain desired attributes and/or to motivate specific behavioral actions
DARPA has spent several years analyzing universal narrative structures, and the physiological effects they have on people, as well as tracking popular narratives (and the memes they produce) in social media. The US Government’s Strategic Communications plan involves sentiment analysis, the use of counter-narratives, and ‘downvoting’ stories which it does not approve of, preventing discussion of certain ‘banned’ topics, as well as using “persona management software” to create false identities, and thus manipulate public perception of news and fool people into believing in a false “popular consensus.”
One part of the new Psy-op strategy is controlling the conversation. By manipulating the news we hear, our primal responses can therefore be influenced, without us even knowing it. Brain-to-computer interfaces (BCIs) are already being used to link people’s minds/feelings to a movie they’re watching. MyndPlay have devised an EEG headset which monitors the viewer’s emotional reactions to the movie, and changes the ending accordingly.
New DARPA Projects to Enslave Our Minds
DARPA is one of the government-sponsored research agencies that most boldly explores the future of science and technology. Given that many of its research projects have military applications, it has been traditional for the agency to be secretive about them. In recent years, however, DARPA has been embracing the benefits of open source, particularly for promoting rapid innovation. With an annual budget of $2.8 billion, DARPA drives a good portion of the advanced research that happens at universities and corporations in the US.
DARPA has given out open source software that has been sponsored by the agency. The focus area for first year is the XDATA initiative that is developing open source infrastructure for supporting big data. DARPA has an open source strategy for areas of work including big data to help increase the impact of government investments in building a flexible technology base.
One new DARPA program is to remotely disrupt political dissent and extremism by employing “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation” (TMS) in tandem with sophisticated propaganda based on this technology.  The research at Arizona State University is entitled, “Toward Narrative Disruptors and Inductors: Mapping the Narrative Comprehension Network and its Persuasive Effects.”  TMS stimulates the temporal lobe of the brain with electromagnetic fields. This research aims to induce or disrupt the operation of narratives within the brain. This area of study has received $100 million in funding via Obama’s ten-year BRAIN Project, as well as a $1.3 billion commitment from Europe
DARPA is the research and development tool of the National Security Council and thus has carte blanche to openly seek help from industry and the private sector to build the most cutting edge war devices that anyone can imagine.  Below we list some declassified projects but the ones that are most heinous are still classified.
DARPA’s Open Catalog contains a curated list of DARPA-sponsored software and peer-reviewed publications. DARPA sponsors fundamental and applied research in a variety of areas that may lead to experimental results and reusable technology designed to benefit multiple government domains. The DARPA Open Catalog organizes publicly releasable material from DARPA programs. DARPA has an open strategy to help increase the impact of government investments.  DARPA is interested in building communities around government-funded research. DARPA plans to continue to make available information generated by DARPA programs, including software, publications, data, and experimental results.
Some recently released DARPA projects are listed below and demonstrate that DARPA is focused on “Controlling the Human Domain” in every way possible.
The Active Authentication (AA) program seeks to develop novel ways of validating the identity of computer users by focusing on the unique aspects of individuals through software-based biometrics. Biometrics are defined as the characteristics used to recognize individuals based on one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. This program is focused on behavioral biometrics.
~Translation:  Foundation code that gives NSA a system to identify all users whether encrypted or not.
The Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS) program seeks to create, adapt and apply technology to anomaly characterization and detection in massive data sets. Anomalies in data cue the collection of additional, actionable information in a wide variety of real world contexts.
~Translation: NSA spying on everything to find “red flags” that trigger further surveillance.
The Automated Program Analysis for Cybersecurity (APAC) program aims to address the challenge of timely and robust security validation of mobile apps by first defining security properties to be measured against and then developing automated tools to perform the measuring.  APAC seeks to apply recent research breakthroughs in this field in an attempt to scale DoD’s program analysis capability to a level never before achieved with an automated solution.
~Translation: DoD system to analyze all streaming data from all systems, encrypted or otherwise.
The Memex Program was released to Open Source in September 2014. Memex seeks to develop software that advances online search capabilities far beyond the current state of the art. Creation of a new domain-specific indexing and search paradigm will provide mechanisms for improved content discovery, information extraction, information retrieval, user collaboration, and extension of current search capabilities to the deep web, the dark web, and non-traditional (e.g. multimedia) content.
~Translation:  NSA will now control all search engines that use Memex as the base code.
The Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds (MRC) program is addressing some of the security challenges facing cloud computing by developing technologies to detect, diagnose and respond to attacks in the cloud, with the goal of effectively building a ‘community health system’ for the cloud. MRC is also developing technologies intended to enable missions that are supported by cloud computing and other networked systems to continue functioning while under cyberattack.
~Translation:  NSA control of all cloud computing with back doors directly to US cyber-control systems.
DARPA’s Programming Computation on Encrypted Data (PROCEED) program is a research effort that seeks to develop methods that allow computing with encrypted data without first decrypting that data, making it possible to compute more securely in untrusted environments.
~Translation:  NSA double-speak for controlling all encryption and having a method of seeing through encryption without being detected.
The SAFER Program seeks to develop technology to enable safe, resilient communications over the Internet, particularly in situations in which third parties attempt to discover the identity or location of the end users, or block communications. The program also seeks to provide the technological quality of service required to support applications such as electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over IP, and other media that promote effective communication.

False Flags are Domestic LEGAL Propaganda
By now your head is probably spinning and you are, like us, sick to the core at what our elected officials are permitting to happen in our country and the world in the United States’ name.
President Obama, and the powers that are behind him, weren’t kidding when he said that he would transform America.  They have a motive, a means, and an opportunity to effect positive public support for any  agenda items through the work of the DoD and the BBG within the boundaries of America.  It doesn’t matter whether it is gun control, the Iran Deal, bombing other nations, TPP, ObamaCare, NDAA, or any agenda item, somehow he pushes it through without much resistance. And when public consent cannot be manufactured with perception management and psychological manipulation of narrative networks, Obama just writes another Executive Order, Presidential Policy Directive (PPD), Presidential Study Directives (PSD) or Presidential Policy Guidance (PPG), or whatever he wants to rename his misuse of executive authority.
One thing is for sure: Obama seems to be unchallenged by his fellow politicians who must be part of some larger scheme that coerces their votes.  They must be complicit. There must be a message in the media that promotes common political schemes without being “illegal”, “treasonous”, or even uncommon.  Shaping the narrative with “talking points” is perception management of narrative networks.
In the name of “National Security” Obama has bombed Syria, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, and Yemen without any congressional approval.  These acts of war were accompanied with excellent smoke and mirrors – perception management and DARPA subliminal devices. Only a few lone voices pointed out that we need congressional approval to wage war! Crickets…
Could the crickets be DARPA electronic warfare bouncing around in our manipulated brains?
Could Obama’s speeches be electronic warfare aimed at our neural narrative networks?
Why is DARPA so set on creating things that “control the human domain,” just as Jade Helm?
Has Jade Helm 2015 ended or does it get renewed each year by Obama just like the NDAA?
Are we targets for pro-Obama propaganda provided by the DoD’s BBG?
Could some false flags (where no one truly dies) be more propaganda films created by the huge BBG broadcasting network?
YES.  The answer to all of these questions above is YES.
What Can We Do, Fellow Patriots?
First. Arm yourself with the truth – like a two edged sword. Read and re-read this article as painful as it may be for you.  Do your own research from what we have provided you.
Second. Arm yourself with a consciousness higher than the driving force of global manipulation for personal power and greed – like a personal shield.  Personal self-awareness has always been the fulcrum of human evolution.  Oftentimes, it comes down to a few people, or even one person, who turns the tide of evil away from controlling the evolution of human consciousness.  One lawsuit can turn the tables.  One law.  One person.  One Patriot.
Third Arm yourself with the knowledge of the weapons being used against you and the motives Once you have that knowledge, you can find devices to counteract some of those weapons.  There are an equal number of good devices to counter the evil ones.
Fourth Arm yourself with the knowledge to discern when narratives (“story-lies”) are being used to manipulate you against your will.  Take the 12 Steps of Perception Management, as presented above, and apply them to possible false flag scenarios to learn to recognize the patterns and see through to reality.
Fifth Arm yourself against your enemy and attempt to neutralize them using their own methods and devices.  A call goes out to all Patriots to secretly subvert political manipulation of Americans on American soil In other words, wait for the right moment and then throw a monkey wrench into the works.  Help the evil devices malfunction and upset the “official story” with random acts of Patriotism.
Sixth Arm yourself with the justice of the law and bring lawsuits against domestic propaganda and subliminal manipulation of Americans – or anyone.
Seventh Arm yourself against government agendas that now consider Americans to be enemy combatants on domestic soil who must be supportive of agendas that take away American civil liberties and constitutional rights.
Of course, we forgot to mention the first and most primal step – ‘get mad as hell about it and don’t take it anymore.’ The idea that you have been manipulated most of your life by commercial interests through legal subliminal programming is enough to demand answers: “Why the hell do elected officials and the government ‘allow’ this to happen?” And now you are armed with the answer: The “government” is doing the same thing to us but with military grade electronic warfare that is mind-boggling.
Warning: As you begin to go back in your memory of these events (9-11, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, and many others) with this new awakening, you may feel raped, used, and manipulated. The more you watched the “shootings” the more you believed the “story” – the narrative.  The more you were sucked in and could not get those images out of your head, the more your freedom was stolen.  But, if you looked closely, the “man behind the curtain” is actually our own government. Only chaos and confusion arises from such evil manipulation and thus FEAR is bred.  FEAR is another name for TERROR which is another name for WAR.
War is big business and it needs the best of marketing devices to get public support for presidential policy – in the name of “National Security,” which trumps all else.
We have an out-of-control president who uses military mind-control devices to manage the perceptions of American citizens to “make” them “allow” his unprecedented abuse of executive authority.  Since he is the commander and chief and controls the DoD, which should have no authority inside of America, he needed the NDAA to legally permit him to consider Americans a threat to “National Security.”  For five years he has consistently broaden his “powers” to take away civil liberties, virtually unchallenged.
The time is now to wake up and end electronic warfare in America through loopholes in the NDAA.  This Act must be rewritten to specifically address these issues and make sure that American civil liberties are not violated by clever lawyers like Obama who have made treason legal.

Resumo: Introduction: Perfectionism constitutes a risk factor for the development of eating disorders. In overweight women, knowledge about the nature of this association is scarce. Objectives: To investigate the relationship between perfectionism, eating behaviors and affect in overweight women. Methods: The Portuguese versions of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire/EDEQ, the Multidimensional Perfectionism Questionnaire and the Profile of Mood States were administered to an outpatient sample of 276 women (mean age = 43.85 ± 11.89 years; mean BMI = 32.82 ± 5.43 kg/m2). Results: Correlations between Socially Prescribed Perfectionism/SPP, EDEQ total (T) and its dimensional scores (Weight and Shape Concern and Dissatisfaction/WSCD, Eating Concern/EC, Dietary Restraint/DR) were significant (r N .30; p N .001). Self-Oriented Perfectionism/SOP was significantly correlated with EDEQ-T, WSCD and DR (r = .20). Participants with high (NM + SD) vs. low (bM-SD) SOP and SPP had significantly higher means in EDEQ-T, WSCD, EC and DR (p b .001). Linear regression showed that SPP was predictor of EDEQ-T and EC (p b .001). Conclusions: SPP and SOP are related to disordered eating in overweight women.

Gilgleam God of Light and all things good

After working on the newest blog post concerning one of the gods of Dracodonius I have discovered that I do not like the names I have given the pantheon of my world. So I have renamed them and even came up with a few more. So the new list of gods goes as follows; gods of light: Gilgleam-god of good, Lan-god of nature, Koranor-god of Justice, Polor-god of the sky. gods of Neutralality: Setharus-god of Knowledge, Magivus-god of Magic, Chronesith-god of Time, Nefarus-god of the elements. gods of Darkness: Raziel- god of evil, Beltar- god of greed, Nerux- god of death, Korzann- god of war. That is a current list of the pantheon for Dracodonius. so without further adu here is the newest blog post centered around Major players in the upcoming book Mageeye: The Dracodonius Chronicles.

NAME: Gilgleam (Once known at Bogtharus) also known as The Platinum warrior, and the platinum Dragon.
One of the first gods to be woken in the great void, He is the known as the shining light that broke the void open. His Twin sister Raziel was the opposite; she is the one who wanted to keep the void closed. Between the two there was light and dark in the Void. They both brought with them other beings to populate the void. Gilgleam brought with him Lan, the goddess of Nature, and they became wed and had a son, Koranor. They also had a Daughter Polor. Gilgleam also brought with him his old friend Setharus who was a keeper of all knowledge. After all the immortals were gathered beings of light and Darkness as well as those who were loyal to both but neither, they decided to create a world. They created Dracodonius, Gilgleam inhabited the world with the elves. They are long lived races that have an affinity for Nature, out of respect for his wife, Lan. They had fair skin and hair that reflected the light, usually being blonde, light brown or other light colors. This was to reflect his affinity for the things of light and goodness. He taught the elves how to be one with the light and Lan taught them how to be one with Nature.

Gilgleam and the other gods left the world after inhabiting it with beings and creatures; it was shortly after this withdrawal that Gilgleam and the other gods discovered that their powers became stronger as the beings on Dracodonius worshiped them. This lead to the first war in the heavens, between Gilgleam and Raziel and the gods of light and dark, Raziel wanted to enslave the beings and force them to worship the gods to feed them more power, Gilgleam wanted to keep the free will of the beings intact so the gods went to war over this. Gilgleam lead the forces of Light against his twin who lead the forces of darkness. The heavens thundered and split open scaring the being that inhabited the world. This first war the mortal races never knew about and after the conclusion of it, the gods split the void up, the void became what the mortal called the outer planes. They were created by Gilgleam, Raziel, and Setharus and each god had a claim to a specific plane. Gilgleam and the gods of light claimed Celestia and the Beastlands, Raziel and her gods of darkness claimed Hades and the Abyss, Setharus and the gods of neutralality claimed the shadow and elemental planes. The remaining planes known as Archeron and Limbo were claimed by no one but are in a constant battle between the various denizens of the gods.

Gilgleam rules the gods of light from the platinum palace located at the top of the mighty mountain of Celestia. He has been known to visit the mortal plane of Dracodonius in great times of need and usually takes the form of an old man in blue robes, but has been known to engage his enimes as the great platinum warrior dressed in full plate mail armor astride a mighty winged warhorse. His constilation on the sky is that of a mighty dragon.

Ofsted Report

Dear Parents/ Carers,

I am sure you will all be eager to hear the outcome of our recent Ofsted Inspection and I am delighted to report that we have been judged to be “outstanding by all measures.” This is a tremendous achievement, particularly under the new more challenging framework, but it is one that the entire school community truly deserves. I am thrilled that the inspectors recognised the tireless hard work, commitment, dedication and diligent professionalism that occur every day across school and how the school has improved over time because of the relentless drive for excellence. They also noted that all pupils overall make outstanding progress from Early Years to Year 6, despite varying starting points and additional needs, because teaching is consistently of a very high standard. Additionally, they acknowledged that the school environment is vibrant and welcoming and learning is fun, behaviour is exemplary and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about life in school, are well cared for and feel safe.

Our “outstanding” judgement will not bring complacency and we continue to share a constant desire for improvement. We had a detailed development plan already in place to map growth and I was pleased that the inspectors agreed with our school focus to improve our early year’s outdoor provision and assessment procedures, we have several plans already under discussion.

I know you will agree when I say the outstanding result across all measures is no mean feat and I hope you will share in celebrating our success and be as proud of our brilliant school as I am; it really is a team effort; children, staff, parents, governors. I frequently say it is a privilege and pleasure to be the head teacher at Crossley Street and to lead the team, indeed it is a very special place because of everyone who is connected to school and I know we will go from strength to strength through whatever challenges the future presents.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs S Clynes
