Our Future in Question’
Wednesday, July 20, 2016 15:17
(Before It's News)
By Capt. Dave Bertrand (Ret.)
Friends and Associates:Tom Lawson wants to share with us a mind blowing revelation, written by J W. Whitehead….outlining the reality of what we are facing. A failed revolution, of which we have been conquered from within, and our future in question.The social engineers have creatively set-us-up and the “divide and conquer” strategies (still underway), began around 2000.Many of us have discussed the problems we face and how difficult any attempt to “arrest tyrants” would be…plus the simple fact, the invasion of illegal aliens and refugees (by design) is the weapon for controlling all aspects of our lives through expanded surveillance under a growing militarized police state.Is it all over for us? Will Trump turn this country around? Or will Trump be forced to fall in-step with the globalist’s plans for our virtual prison, much like the Soviet era when the KGB kept tabs on everyone, dissenters arrested while only the privileged could leave the country for business or pleasure. Note: Notice the expanding TSA express kiosk’s for the privileged while the rest of us have to be groped and suspected as terrorists.Most of us know that under Hillary Clinton, she and Bill Clinton will advance us into absolute tyranny under a communist dictatorship with all the bells and whistles of the Soviet era. Around 1947… after WWII, the stage was set for THEIR version of Hitler’s vision for a One World Order to begin.All we have to do is look back, just after WWII, when thousands of NAZI’s were relocated to the U.S. under “Operation Paperclip.” Once in place, the psychological warfare began on all Americans and through the government’s public education system, they have finally reached the point of where THEY want us to be now. This generation of college graduates want socialism, because they have been brainwashed by the school system.“What we are now experiencing is a civil war, devised and instigated in part by the U.S. government.”Today, our government has been infiltrated by Islamic predators at every level and Sharia Law is just around the corner, which undoubtedly will challenge our Constitution and Civil Rights. The kick-off began with 9/11 by the Bush Administration in participation with Saudi Intelligence and high level (Muslim) business men with direct connections to the Royal Family. THEY basically hoodwinked most every American into a flag waving patriot frenzy, causing thousands of our men and women to die needlessly in illegal wars created by Bush and the Saudi’s.Uncovering the truth about 9/11 was the beginning of the end. The truth stung us like a nightmare on steroids, causing a revolt that has reached the point of no return.Will we as a country go through a Soviet style control to only find ourselves at the mercy of tyrants, or can we eventually turn the country back to a Christian Nation of Constitutional laws?I agree it will never happen by a 1775 style uprising for the several reasons outlined in John Whitehead’s article, but other options will require pain staking removal of those in local government and replace them with true Constitutionalists. From there, it has to expand to the state level and so on.Unfortunately, many of us will be dead and gone before this country is where it was before 1947 and in the meanwhile, America will be in a direct war, both internally and internationally soon enough.“The events of recent years—the invasive surveillance, the extremism reports, the civil unrest, the protests, the shootings, the bombings, the military exercises and active shooter drills, the color-coded alerts and threat assessments, the fusion centers, the transformation of local police into extensions of the military, the distribution of military equipment and weapons to local police forces, the government databases containing the names of dissidents and potential troublemakers—have all conjoined to create an environment in which “we the people” are more distrustful and fearful of each other and more reliant on the government to keep us safe.”READ FULL REPORT BELOW…..From The Desk of Capt.

THERE WILL BE NO SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE FUTILITY OF AN ARMED REVOLT
JULY 19, 2016 | JOHN W. WHITEHEAD |
“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”—James MadisonAmerica is a ticking time bomb.All that remains to be seen is who—or what—will set fire to the fuse.We are poised at what seems to be the pinnacle of a manufactured breakdown, with police shooting unarmed citizens, snipers shooting police, global and domestic violence rising, and a political showdown between two presidential candidates equally matched in unpopularity.The preparations for the Republican and Democratic national conventions taking place in Cleveland and Philadelphia—augmented by a $50 million federal security grant for each city—provide a foretaste of how the government plans to deal with any individual or group that steps out of line: they will be censored, silenced, spied on, caged, intimidated, interrogated, investigated, recorded, tracked, labeled, held at gunpoint, detained, restrained, arrested, tried and found guilty.For instance, anticipating civil unrest and mass demonstrations in connection with the Republican Party convention, Cleveland officials set up makeshift prisons, extra courtrooms to handle protesters, and shut down a local university in order to house 1,700 riot police and their weapons. The city’s courts are preparing to process up to 1,000 people a day. Additionally, the FBI has also been conducting “interviews” with activists in advance of the conventions to discourage them from engaging in protests.Make no mistake, the government is ready for a civil uprising.Indeed, the government has been preparing for this moment for years.A 2008 Army War College report revealed that “widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security.” The 44-page report goes on to warn that potential causes for such civil unrest could include another terrorist attack, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters.”Subsequent reports by the Department of Homeland Security to identify, monitor and label right-wing and left-wing activists and military veteransas extremists (a.k.a. terrorists) have manifested into full-fledged pre-crime surveillance programs. Almost a decade later, after locking down the nation and spending billions to fight terrorism, the DHS has concluded that the greater threat is not ISIS but domestic right-wing extremism.Meanwhile, the government has been amassing an arsenal of military weapons for use domestically and equipping and training their “troops” for war. Even government agencies with largely administrative functions such as the Food and Drug Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Smithsonian have been acquiring body armor, riot helmets and shields, cannon launchers and police firearms and ammunition. In fact, there are now at least 120,000 armed federal agents carrying such weapons who possess the power to arrest.Rounding out this profit-driven campaign to turn American citizens into enemy combatants (and America into a battlefield) is a technology sector that is colluding with the government to create a Big Brother that is all-knowing, all-seeing and inescapable. It’s not just the drones, fusion centers, license plate readers, stingray devices and the NSA that you have to worry about. You’re also being tracked by the black boxes in your cars, your cell phone, smart devices in your home, grocery loyalty cards, social media accounts, credit cards, streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and e-book reader accounts.All of this has taken place right under our noses, funded with our taxpayer dollars and carried out in broad daylight without so much as a general outcry from the citizenry.It’s astounding how convenient we’ve made it for the government to lock down the nation.We’ve even allowed ourselves to be acclimated to the occasional lockdown of government buildings, Jade Helm military drills in small towns so that special operations forces can get “realistic military training” in “hostile” territory, and Live Active Shooter Drill training exercises, carried out at schools, in shopping malls, and on public transit, which can and do fool law enforcement officials, students, teachers and bystanders into thinking it’s a real crisis.The events of recent years—the invasive surveillance, the extremism reports, the civil unrest, the protests, the shootings, the bombings, the military exercises and active shooter drills, the color-coded alerts and threat assessments, the fusion centers, the transformation of local police into extensions of the military, the distribution of military equipment and weapons to local police forces, the government databases containing the names of dissidents and potential troublemakers—have all conjoined to create an environment in which “we the people” are more distrustful and fearful of each other and more reliant on the government to keep us safe.Of course, that’s the point.The powers-that-be want us to feel vulnerable. They want us to fear each other and trust the government’s hired gunmen to keep us safe from terrorists, extremists, jihadists, psychopaths, etc.Most of all, the powers-that-be want us to feel powerless to protect ourselves and reliant on and grateful for the dubious protection provided by the American police state.Their strategy is working.The tree of liberty is dying.There will be no second American Revolution.There is no place in our nation for the kind of armed revolution our forefathers mounted against a tyrannical Great Britain. Such an act would be futile and tragic. We are no longer dealing with a distant, imperial king but with a tyrant of our own making: a militarized, technologized, heavily-financed bureaucratic machine that operates beyond the reach of the law.The message being sent to the citizenry is clear: there will be no revolution, armed or otherwise.Anyone who believes that they can wage—and win—an armed revolt against the American police state has not been paying attention. Those who wage violence against the government and their fellow citizens are playing right into the government’s hands. Violence cannot and will not be the answer to what ails America.Whether instigated by the government or the citizenry, violence will only lead to more violence. It does not matter how much firepower you have. The government has more firepower.It does not matter how long you think you can hold out by relying on survivalist skills, guerilla tactics and sheer grit. The government has the resources to outwait, out-starve, outman, outgun and generally overpower you.This government of wolves will not be overtaken by force.Unfortunately, we waited too long to wake up to the government’s schemes.We did not anticipate that “we the people” would become the enemy. For years, the government has been warning against the dangers of domestic terrorism, erecting surveillance systems to monitor its own citizens, creating classification systems to label any viewpoints that challenge the status quo as extremist, and training law enforcement agencies to equate anyone possessing anti-government views as a domestic terrorist.What the government failed to explain was that the domestic terrorists would be of the government’s own making, whether intentional or not.By waging endless wars abroad, by bringing the instruments of war home, by transforming police into extensions of the military, by turning a free society into a suspect society, by treating American citizens like enemy combatants, by discouraging and criminalizing a free exchange of ideas, by making violence its calling card through SWAT team raids and militarized police, by fomenting division and strife among the citizenry, by acclimating the citizenry to the sights and sounds of war, and by generally making peaceful revolution all but impossible, the government has engineered an environment in which domestic violence has become inevitable.What we are now experiencing is a civil war, devised and instigated in part by the U.S. government.The outcome for this particular conflict is already foregone: the police state wins.The objective: compliance and control.The strategy: destabilize the economy through endless wars, escalate racial tensions, polarize the populace, heighten tensions through a show of force, intensify the use of violence, and then, when all hell breaks loose, clamp down on the nation for the good of the people and the security of the nation.So where does that leave us?Despite the fact that communities across the country are, for all intents and purposes, being held hostage by a government that is armed to the teeth and more than willing to use force in order to “maintain order,” most Americans seem relatively unconcerned. Worse, we have become so fragmented as a nation, so hostile to those with whom we might disagree, so distrustful of those who are different from us, that we are easily divided and conquered.We have been desensitized to violence, acclimated to a military presence in our communities and persuaded that there is nothing we can do to alter the seemingly hopeless trajectory of the nation. In this way, the floundering economy, the blowback arising from military occupations abroad, police shootings, the nation’s deteriorating infrastructure and all of the other mounting concerns have become non-issues to a populace that is easily entertained, distracted, manipulated and controlled.The sight of police clad in body armor and gas masks, wielding semiautomatic rifles and escorting an armored vehicle through a crowded street, a scene likened to “a military patrol through a hostile city,” no longer causes alarm among the general populace.We are fast becoming an anemic, weak, pathetically diluted offspring of our revolutionary forebears incapable of mounting a national uprising against a tyrannical regime.If there is to be any hope of reclaiming our government and restoring our freedoms, it will require a different kind of coup: nonviolent, strategic and grassroots, starting locally and trickling upwards. Such revolutions are slow and painstaking. They are political, in part, but not through any established parties or politicians.Most of all, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, for any chance of success, such a revolution will require more than a change of politics: it will require a change of heart among the American people, a reawakening of the American spirit, and a citizenry that cares more about their freedoms than their fantasy games.Delivered by The Daily SheepleWe encourage you to share and republish our reports, analyses, breaking news and videos (Click for details).
