| America Under Assault |
| Reality is a very thin line between denial and paranoia. Existing somewhere in the midst of these is complacency. Those, who refuse to consider the facts of a matter, deny reality. Those, who will not wake up will, most assuredly, die in their sleep. |
These statments may seem quaint and trifling to some, but they are nothing more and nothing less than truthful. They are meant to express simple logic and initiate thought. Sometimes an image is more effective in accomplishing this purpose, so allow me to share this. |

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke |
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” Samuel Adams |
“...it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds...” Samuel Adams |

| Sometimes, thinking about currrent events and affairs is unpleasant, but that does not invalidate the facts regarding those events and affairs. The previous comments and quotes, (including the image, above) are relative to the following considerations, in that, the Assault on America is not something we can ignore or pass off as unimportant. To do so, is to place one's self at a great disadvantage and fosters a failure to prepare for emergencies, in advance, or even as they emerge.
America is under assault from many directions. The assaults come from within, from without, from above and from below. As Americans, each of us have the responsibily and accountability to KNOW who the true assailants are and to be sure that we, ourselves, do not aid in the assault. While there are a large number of truely sincere individuals taking up the cause of exposing evildoers, there are is a lot of disinformation, half truths, biased exposés and outright lies that are being espoused, both in the mainstream media and even from among/from the supposed “truth seekers.” It is often difficult to determine who is an actual seeker after truth, sharing results of the research, and who might be pretending to represent a seeker of truth, but rather, floods the Internet with disjointed data, thereby discrediting the authentic seeker. Some, sincere though they may be, do not engage in enough investigative research, before they begin spewing forth what little they have discovered. Blogs, Vlogs and MySpace, etc. are strewn with an abundance of misleading information often placed intentionaly. YouTube, while being a very valuable tool and providing many truth-revealing videos, is also inundated with uninformed opinions and foul-mouthed know-it-all/know-nothings. The truth regarding many issues, however, is available and, actually, not that hard to find. I am sorry, if I seem to sound like one of those about whom I am attempting to warn you, but what I am saying is this: Be careful in your investigative journey - when people spend far more time pointing fingers than they do presenting facts, their view is likely skewed and, most often, invalid. Their negativity is just as harmful as that to which or those to whom they point and their perspective(s) not only insult the intelligence of others, but also adds to the assault on America. How? by lending support to those who already think that Americans are shallow, spoiled brats (regardless of age). Remember, these media outlets are available worldwide, so our responsibility is global. However, I must also say: There are many Bloggers, Vloggers and YouTubers that HAVE done their research, have very relevant perspectives and that are worthy of being sought out. I'm not going to suggest any, because that would indicate that I agree fully with their attitudes, factuality and perspectives, when, in fact, I don't. Emotional outbursts (in many cases) are detrimental to the research of others and some modes of presentation are offensive. While I may find their information valid up to this point, who knows what they may begin to believe or say tommorrow?! Therefore, there are none that I will venture to recommend. [ If I could whisper a couple - I would :) ] For a substantial list of information sites, see the Freedom Links page. Many look at the events of September 11th, 2001 and view them as an assault on America. Indeed, they were, but were they an assault from without or from within? With all due respect to the victims of the 911 atrocities and their families, and out of respect for all American citizens in general, I must say, the assault on America neither began, nor ended, on that day. The events of that day were a culmination of years of planning and plotting and were just a part of the plan that has, so far, led to the death (recorded) of almost 4,000 American soldiers and countless hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens. The retaliatory invasion of Afganistan, which was a ploy to enable the completion of a pipeline from the Baltic states to the Persian Gulf, and the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq (that has been proven innocent of having a part in the 9/11 “Assault on America”), has become even more devastating than the events that fostered the retaliation. This should tell us something about those who have declared a "War on Terror." Some may choose to disagree with me on this, but, I believe that the degree of terror in the hearts and minds of Iraqi people far exceeds the level of terror in the U.S.A and it also exceeds the fear that was there under Sadam Hussein. I imagine ... if another country invaded the U.S. (as we have Iraq) and bombarded almost every major city with depleted uranium munitions, wiped out the population of entire cities (such as Fallujah, which was not carried out by American soldiers, by the way, but rather, by Blackwater USA mercenaries), then took the money that was intended for rebuilding their infrastructure and used it, instead, to build “permanent” military bases for the purpose of indefinitely extending their occupation, we could then say, we were being terrorized. I don't mean to minimize the loss of life that was suffered by those in the Twin Towers or the First Responders that died attempting to save lives on that day, but my goodness! How much is enough? At this point, some may be thinking, "But we aren't over there to get revenge - we are over there to route out al Qaeda and bring terrorists to justice." Well... how many bad guys do we have to elliminate, before we can be sure we "got them all?" First, when we invaded Afganistan, we were after Osama (actually Usama), who we have yet to find. Then, we invaded Iraq to get Saddam Hussein. Well... we got him, so why are we still there? Because we have now invented al Qeada, who didn't even exist before our invasion. Actually, we established the al Queada forces to combat the threat of a Russian invasion. We didn't want Russia gaining control of the resources in the region, because we wanted to control them. Actually, when I say “we,” I am insinuating a misnomer. The average American had and has, even now, very little to do with what is transpiring in Iraq. The majority of Americans are, in fact, against the terrorization of Iraq. But still, I must say we, because that assault on Iraq is being carried out from powers within our shores. A few, who consider themselves wiser (knowing what is best for America) and able to wage war on behalf of all Americans, have taken it upon themselves to demolish and decimate entire population centers and destroy entire cities (on our behalf for our security). The assault on Iraq is, itself, an assault on America. It is making people worldwide, think that all Americans are warmongers, intent on destroying nations, one by one. And all the time, we (there's that word again) have our hand deep in their pockets, stealing their resources. Terrorism comes in many forms - physical, mental, emotional, etc., but terrorism always has one particular intent and that is to psychologically assault a person, a segment of society or society as a whole. A person who realizes that they are being stalked by a potential assailant, is terrorized - even if they aren't physically assaulted. Spouses, often unintentionally, terrorize one another. Husbands terrorize their wives (or wives, their husbands). This is often referred to as "domestic violence," but it is terrorism, nonetheless. In the case of Iraq (and to an extent, Afganistan) they are being terroized to the point that they feel they may never recover. The tragedy of it all is that this is the intent of the warmongers. This is what they want. Its called world dominance and it constitutes a plan that has been movng forward for many years, as will be made apparent as you peruse the information that is available on this site and the sites to which it links. While the attacks of 911 were physical, they affected all Americans (and caring individuals around the globe) psychologically. This was the intent. Just as in the case of the John F. Kennedy assassination, they wanted it to be spectacular, to be etched into the world's psyche and, especially, into the American citizens' psyche. It worked so well that the resulting retaliation, though the effects of it are thousands upon thousands of times multiplied, seems just. It is as though it takes the death of hundreds of thousands of "terrorists" to avenge the death of 3,000 Americans. Even God only demands "and eye for an eye." How many Iraqi, Afganistani, Pakistani, Iranian, Syrian, ad nauseum, lives is it going to take to avenge the lives of 3,000 Americans? A new law was just signed into being by President Bush. It is called the Protect America Act. (See also the ACLU Fact Sheet on the “Police America Act") The new law gives the Government six months to turn the internet and phone systems into permanent spying architecture and removes all legal barriers against the necessity to have a warrant to conduct internet and phone surveillance. At the same time, we are told that FISA has imposed a limit on surveillance, but no one really knows what FISA court ruling struck down. In addition to not knowing what the FISA court ruling struck down, it's also unknown if the Justice Department appealed the decision to the "secret court's secret court of appeals" before rushing to Congress for a change in the law. (Yes, this secret court actually exists). Yes, America is definitely under assault, but the assault is being perpetrated from within, through the laws and executive orders that are supposedly enacted “on behalf of all Americans.” September 11th, 2001 was a pretext and timely excuse to institute the next step in the planned assault on America. There are numerous problems regarding these new laws is that the average American has had no voice in the "proceedings," the meetings where these new laws are devised have no provisions for oversight (most are being decided in secret meetings, in secret places). Average American citizens are not allowedd to review any of the laws that are being drawn up to govern us and we can no longer place confidence in the “representatives,” who are elected to vote on our behalf. We are told “just trust us... these things are for your own good.” I don't know about you, but I'd like to have a voice in what is deemed “good for me.” I have studied the negative historical events, in which the Bush-Walker family has been complicit, and I don't trust George W. Bush to provide any semblance of what is best for me. He and his forefathers have ALWAYS acted in such a way as will benefit the Big Corp/Big Bank structure and I can't imagine that he cares at all for the “needs” of the average American. Few know of the move to demand "cooperation" of telephone companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in allowing government surveillance of and access to customer accounts. There are many Executive Orders, of which the average American knows nothing. |
| There are realms of assault that, unless researched and explored, will continue to remain hidden and unconsidered. One of these areas is the manipulation that accompanied urban sprawl and migration to the suburbs. It all seemed such a natural evolution for American's to move out of the cities and take advantage of the wide open spaces. But, believe it or not, there was a sinister element within the planning of suburbia and we are, once again left to wonder, is there no crook or cranny that has not been tainted with corrupt influence. For instance, one of the intents in the design of suburbia was to create black cities cities that could be relegated to a lesser realm of priority and allow more time to be spent granting privileges to those who were moved elsewhere. What privileges? housing loans, car loans, propety tax breaks (pretended), subsidies to suburban developers, etc. |
Beginning in 1936, an inventory was created, largely by those in the real estate industry, and color coded maps were drawn with neighborhoods rated A through D.Case described the system:
|
| The terms used to describe the various "Population groups" evidences the racism that existed during the planning stages of the project.
Historian, Kenneth T. Jackson, in his 1977 address to an organization that is now the Historical Society of Washington, outlined what was, in effect, a federally-organized program of urban residential apartheid. In it he outlined particular perspectives and opinions of those who contrived the program." "The greatest fears of the Federal Housing Administration were reserved for 'unharmonious racial or nationality groups.' The alleged danger was that an entire area could lose its investment value if rigid white-black segregation was not maintained. To protect itself against such eventualities, the Underwriting Manual openly recommended 'enforced zoning, subdivision regulations, and suitable restrictive covenants.”When they stated that ”rigid white-black segregation“ needed to be maintained, they determined that if even one ethinic family were to move into a “B” neighborhood, that neigborhood would be recoded as a “C” or “D” neighborhood. This, my dear and fellow Americans, is bigotry and racism from the top down. In the minds of the planners, it seems that the amount of money to be made was directly related to them designing racism, both in terms of ethnicity and nationality, into their modern economic strategies. Please also recognize that this statement was made 40 years after the program was instituted, so it would seem that the “apartheid” still continued to that time. Does it still exist, today? Well... let me ask this: Are population groups still being discrimated against? Are some still denied loans based on where they live and, thereby, relegated to a poverty-ridden existence? If the answer to either of the last two questions is “yes,” then the answer to the previous question is also “Yes.” In addtion, the development of urbania and suburbia broought with it a dramatically increased dependence on the automobile and, consequently, the sale of gasoline and oil also increased, further enlarging the coffers of the bankers/controllers. The bread-winner (usually the husband in those days), would HAVE to own a vehicle to get to and from work in town or across town. It also meant that, in many cases, a second vehicle had to be purchased, so the Mrs. could transport children to and from extra curricular activites such as: sports, band practice, school plays, etc. This increased the bankers/carmakers sales grealty, and, in turn, sold even more gas and oil. How convenient. The move to suburbia also meant that families had to adjust to spending less time in a family setting. The most alarming factor is that all of these issues were foreseen and planned into the plot to move American citizens enmasse and create suburbia. Please read the article mentioned above in its entirety. One other point to consider is this: With the inrease and spread of the Urbs, there has also been a decrease and dimishing of the Rural setting. At the same time that the plan was laid for urban and Suburban expansion, another plan was being laid to destroy family-based farms and transfer their wealth to the coffers of large corporations and bankers. Check out what happened during the years of the 1907 depression and the crash of 1929-34. Research who was responsible for those downturns in the economic stability of America/Americans. Learn how man farmers went broke and how many Americans lost their homes. These things are hidden in the secret annals of history. We aren't supposed to know these things. Are we really as ignorant as they hope we are? Will we remain as ignorant and complacent as they hope we will? Who are “they?” They are the ones who are manipulating Americans into thinking that everytning is all right, when, in fact, everything is all wrong we just don't know it! And, for the most part, it seems, unless it effects us personally, dont care. Thats the most alarming part of the whole situation. But, please understand: We have been programmed to ignore the obvious Its all part of the plan. Again, I say, sometimes, thinking about current events and affairs is unpleasant, but that does not invalidate the facts regarding those events and affairs. If you are just beginning your search into the hidden truths of history and current events, you eill find information on this site (and others to which it links) amazing and, oftentimes, unbelievable. If your are a veteran researcher and truth seeker, you will, once again, find your beliefs substantiated. |
| Here is a list of freedoms that Bush and Congress have recently expunged (as reported by the Associated Press) |
| On Freedom of Association: |
| The Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terrorist investigations. |
| On Freedom of Information: |
| The Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records questions. |
| On Freedom of Speech: |
| The Government now establishes "Free Speech Zones" and positions them a great distance from the target that is being protested. The news covers only the supporters of an event and event citizens with dissenting T-shirts are not allowed anywhere near the event. The Government may prosecute librarians or any other keepers of records if they divulge the fact that tell anyone that the Government had subpoenaed information related to terror investigation. |
| On Right to Legal Representation: |
| The Government can monitor conversations between Federal and jailhouse prisoners and their Attorneys. The Government can hold a person indefinitely without access to legal representation, if their crime can be construed so as to determine them to be an "enemy combatant." In addition, the prisoner does not have to be told what he or she has been accused of, or be presented with the evidence that is being used to hold them. |
| On Freedom from Unreasonable Searches: |
| The Government can search and seize a citzen's papers and effects, without probable cause and without a warrant, if it can be said that it is to aid in a terror investigaton. |
| On the Right to a Speedy and Public Trial. |
| The Government can hold a person indefinitely, without a trial, without access to an attorney, without notifying next of kin, without producing any evidence of guilt. Torture is permissible, if the interrogators "think" that the information gained, warrants the use of such methods. |
| On Right to Liberty |
| Americans can be deprived of liberty and jailed without being charged, without the ability to confront either their accusers or witnesses that are to be used against them. |
| Here are a few videos that fairly well portrey the current situation in America. |

| John F. Kennedy Address to the American Newspaper Publishers Titled: “The President and the Press” [excerpted] View the source for this document. |
| "The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
“Today no war has been declared, and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. |
|
| “But I do ask -- But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort, based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In times of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.
“If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent. |
| “It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions -- by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
“Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. “Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion.” |

| “...The Bush administration has done more to dismantle constitutional protections of our liberties than any president in modern memory.
