In The News:

This first story has been relatively quiet for a while now, but many of us have always felt that a NAU could be a solution to the planned financial collapse of the U.S. dollar as it could provide for a 'common currency' in North America and could help pave the way for a world currency (acceptance in stages, rather than all at once). 

Homeland Security Backs Immigration Bill - North American Union On The Way?

Thump, thump, thump. The North American Union is being born right under your eyes.

The globalists running Washington, DC have clearly stated in many ways that Canada, Mexico and the United States are to form a more perfect union. There are plenty of strategies being brought to bear.

The biggest tool was to be a superhighway that would cut the United States into virtually two pieces – a highway and railroad system stretching from Canada to Mexico.

When the initial furor about the NAU damaged the chances that the highway would be constructed, the most ambitious parts of the project were shelved. But not for long.

It is back, in the guise of a huge pipeline that will transport shale oil from Canada into the lower 48 called the TransCanada Keystone XL – a $5.3 billion proposal for a 1,179-mile pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska. There are additional plans to connect to refineries in Texas.

It's not yet a "done deal" but there are formidable forces in Washington, DC pushing it forward. The US has plenty of shale oil but, of course, that is surely not the point. The point would seem to be to create a transport corridor that bisects the US and will inevitably and eventually connect to Mexico.

Under George Bush an intricate network of security arrangements were reached with Canada and with Mexico. All along the Canadian border now are "constitution-free" zones where Canadian and US law enforcement officials can work together without pesky legalisms and the nationalism attached to them.

What Bush could not move along was a bill that would naturalize Mexican immigration – thus turning the border between the US and Mexico into a semi-porous non-entity. When he tried, the resulting ruckus put a final dent in whatever was left of his presidency.

But of course, this part of the program is back like a bad case of indigestion. And now it has formidable backing of the US's very own STASI – Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano. Here's more:

Napolitano ... praised the provision that would provide a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

"These are all common-sense steps that the majority of Americans support," Napolitano said in prepared remarks. She added that the introduction of the bipartisan bill is a "true milestone, and we look forward to working with you to build on this momentum."

... The bulk of the hearing focused on border security concerns. A core provision of the bill includes a set of so-called security triggers that would have to be written and implemented before undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. could transition to legal status and ultimately to citizenship.

Of the triggers, Napolitano said: "I believe we can satisfy them in the upcoming years."

But several Republicans were still skeptical of whether the border would be sufficiently secured under the Senate legislation. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said the bill appeared to have a policy of "legalize now, enforce later."

Another Republican, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, argued that the Senate bill gave "extraordinary" discretion to Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security on immigration matters.

This last point is key. If one takes the time, one can actually see the gears grinding forward, locking the US, Mexico and Canada into an ever-tighter position. Many still scoff that the population of the three countries will never tolerate a union, but whoever thought France and Germany would emerge as leading proponents of a European Union?

Politics is a powerful thing. And those leading the charge are ever-confident that public opinion is easily manipulated in any direction necessary.

In this case, every major continental policy being embarked upon in the modern era seems intended to reinforce this faux-unity. And whatever does not enforce it is likely to generate a kind of planned chaos.

It is not coincidence that a US Intel operation to send weapons to Mexico has basically gone uninvestigated. Mexico is being destabilized by a US-led "drug war" and the idea is obviously to create a kind of failed nation-state, at least in parts of Mexico.

Out of chaos, order. The creation of policies that are intended surreptitiously to create a tighter bond between Canada, the US and Mexico is a huge and (of course) untold story. The alternative media has reported on it regularly but the mainstream media either ignores it or reports on it sporadically without connecting the proverbial dots.

But in politics there are no coincidences and the reoccurrence of the immigration bill is no coincidence, either. Thump, thump, thump. Bit by bit, one "reasonable" action at a time, the NAU is being constructed quietly and remorselessly.

Conclusion: Only the denials are broadcast.

Bird Flu Strain Labelled One Of The 'Most Lethal Viruses Ever

Scientists have described the new bird flu that has killed 22 people in China as one of the most deadly influenza strains as it spreads to Taiwan.
The H7N9 flu has infected 108 people in China since it was first detected in March, according to the Geneva-based WHO.

Some 6,000 Chinese tourists visit Taiwan every day, putting pressure on Taiwanese authorities to step up their screening at airports to contain the virus.
The strain appears to spread more easily to humans than SARS, a virus that caused panic when it started killing people in Asia a decade ago.

An international team of scientists led by the WHO and the Chinese government conducted a five-day investigation in China, but said they were no closer to determining whether the virus might become transmissible between people.

'The situation remains complex and difficult and evolving,' said Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's assistant director-general for health security.

'When we look at influenza viruses, this is an unusually dangerous virus for humans,' he said at a briefing.

Scientists who have analysed genetic sequence data from samples from three H7N9 victims say the strain is a so-called 'triple reassortant' virus with a mixture of genes from three other flu strains found in birds in Asia.

Flu experts say it is likely that more cases of human infection with H7N9 flu will emerge in the coming weeks and months, at least until the source of infection has been completely confirmed and effectively controlled.

The Boston Bombing: Introducing Tyranny

Martial Law Conditioning

For a few days, Boston became an Orwellian nightmare.  The city lockdown and subsequent militarization was swift, though any intelligent and guilty suspect could have easily left the area before hand.  This kind of response to catch only two supposed perpetrators is outlandish, unless you understand that it was not about catching the bombers.  Rather, it was an exercise designed to test the malleability of the American people during a crisis scenario.  

In Watertown, residents were not only forced into lockdown; they were also subjected to house-to-house searches without warrant, pat downs, and numerous other violations of their 4th Amendment rights.  Take note that almost everything you see in the video below is an illegal and unconstitutional action on the part of Boston authorities:

As this was occurring, officials were consistently pushing media cameras away from the area in the name of “safety”, even though media cameramen are sent into domestic shootouts and foreign warzones on a regular basis.  The only real purpose that I can see to removing them from the scene was to reduce the amount of video footage depicting these illegal searches and seizures:

For those who can’t grasp what has happened here, let me explain; the dynamics of liberty have just been erased.  This kind of behavior on the part of government will not be limited to disasters like Boston, or New Orleans during Katrina; a precedence is being set to use martial law-style tactics anywhere for any reason at anytime.  The “national security argument” is being used as a free license to institute any measure regardless of law to achieve a particular combat objective.  The environment we saw in the dark days of Boston is an environment we’ll soon see all over the country, and here is why…

Free Speech Is Next

The bombings in Boston took place, apparently by coincidence, just before Oath Keepers, a national organization of current serving military, police officers, and veterans promoting adherence to their constitutional oath was to hold a large rally at Lexington Green.  The Lexington Green board, one member of which had been openly hostile to Oath Keepers in the past, decided to use the crisis as an excuse to deny the rally permit already attained by the liberty minded group. 

The Lexington Selectmen claimed that under the suggestions of “state officials” the rally had to be cancelled due to the “lack of police” available to secure the area and ensure public safety.  However, when Oath Keepers held a brief oath ceremony at the Green in protest of the decision, a police force was sent to watch them:

This means that public safety was not the issue.  Rather, safety and security were being used yet again to deny a constitutional right, and this time it was the most vital and valuable right of all – free speech.

During the height of the civil rights marches of the 50’s and 60’s, the exact same tactics were used to silence dissent.  Black protesters were told that they could not obtain proper permits for peaceful marches because their “own safety” and the safety of the public could not be ensured.  This matter of using broad hypothetical dangers as a catalyst for censorship was finally argued before the Supreme Court in Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham.  The court sided with the protestors, pointing out that the use of undefined safety concerns and “prior restraint” to silence speech was unconstitutional.  Unfortunately, the decision has not prevented the U.S. government from slowly undermining public protest rights ever since.  

The fascinating thing about incremental tyranny is the way in which naïve members of our society try to rationalize it.  They debate using logical fallacies like:

“How have your rights been violated in particular?  If your rights haven’t been violated, what right do you have to complain?”

And how about this gem…

In many countries, you wouldn’t be allowed to complain the way you are…”

“Yeah, there are problems in this country, but at least we have some freedom.  

This is statist psychology at work.  Freedom, in their minds, is a privilege doled out by governments, rather than an inborn attribute outside of the realm of law.  They do not understand that the violation of the rights of one American is a violation of the rights of ALL Americans.  They do not understand that the destruction of some constitutional protections will one day lead to the destruction of ALL constitutional protections. 

The establishment and the useful idiots they manipulate want to make the “threat” the center of attention, but ultimately, the threat is irrelevant.  There will always be the danger of terrorism and death.  Always!  And, if our government is following the Operation Gladio false flag model (look it up, folks, it was openly admitted government funded terrorism), as I believe they are, then we can count on Boston-style bombings all over the U.S. very soon. 

True crisis lay in what we refuse to see, and the greatest crisis today is not the bombing of a marathon, but the destruction of our freedoms in the name of “security”.  The bottom line?  Our civil liberties are not up for compromise.  Period.  Shootings, bombs, nukes, nothing!  There is no rationalization that will ever make tyranny a moral enterprise.  I, like many other Americans, do not care what boogeyman fantasy is paraded in front of me.  We are not frightened, and we are not ignorant.  No attack, no matter how heinous, will ever convince us to hand over our freedom.
