“The Treason of the Intellectuals” by Chris Hedges

ZIONISM OWNS AMERICAN AND MOST WESTERN MEDIA!

Click for Source Article by Chris Hedges on TruthDig

Early 2013 Chris Hedges refers to New Yorker contributor George Packer as one of many intellectual “war boosters” and “liberal hawks” who “did what they always have done: engage in self preservation” in the lead-up to the Iraq War.

Hedges’ wrote this days after Packer’s negative review of Hedges’ new book at the time, “The Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt,” in the Sunday Book Review in The New York Times.

Rewriting history by powerful elitists as America marked the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War with some claiming they had opposed the war when they had not. + “Bush’s useful idiots” + Hillary Clinton argued that acted in good faith on the BAD Information but would do it differently now which is just another LIE + The “liberal hawks” = Could also included Hillary Clinton again + Chuck Schumer + Al Franken + John Kerry + Academics/Writers/Journalists = Bill Keller + Michael Ignatieff + Nicholas Kristof + David Remnick + Fareed Zakaria + Michael Walzer + Paul Berman + Thomas Friedman + George Packer + Anne-Marie Slaughter + Kanan Makiya + the late Christopher Hitchens = Engage in acts of self-preservation saying opposing the war would have been a career killer = WEAK APPOLOGISTS AND CHEERLEADERS FOR WAR + Attempted to discredit anyone who questioned the call to invade Iraq.

In NYT Kristof attacked filmmaker Michael Moore as a conspiracy theorist and wrote that anti-war voices were only polarizing what he termed “the political cesspool.”

Hitchens said that those who opposed the attack on Iraq “do not think that Saddam Hussein is a bad guy at all.” And Hitchens called anti-war protester a “blithering ex-flower child or ranting neo-Stalinist.”

FAKE LEFT OF ROTHSCHILD ZIONIST CORPORATE MEDIA = A decade later fail to mention the most pernicious and fundamental role they played in the buildup to the war—shutting down public debate and attacking those of us who spoke out against the war along with the attacks of WAR-MONGERING right-wing “patriots”.

They attacked all TRUE ANTI-WAR JOURNALISTS and “In my case it did not matter that I was an Arabic speaker….(and) spent seven years in the Middle East, including months in Iraq, as a foreign correspondent. It did not matter that I knew the instrument of war.”

THE FAKED ROTHSCHILD LEFT did not care “how well grounded in fact and experience” our anti-War arguments were. The FAKED LIBERAL LEFT ELITISTS attacked us and turned us into objects of scorn to cravenly demonstrate their own “patriotism” for national security with a rabid, irrational hatred of all war critics. Many of us received death threats and lost our jobs, for me one at The New York Times. These ROTHSCHILDS FAKED LIBERAL WARMONGERS, 10 years later, remain both clueless about their moral bankruptcy and cloyingly sanctimonious. They have the blood of hundreds of thousands (or MILLIONS) of innocents on their hands.

THE ROTHSCHILDS EMPOWERED FAKE LIBERAL ELITISTS have always been willing to sacrifice integrity and truth for power, personal advancement, foundation grants, awards, tenured professorships, columns, book contracts, television appearances, generous lecture fees and social status. They know what they need to say to MEET ROTHSCHILDS’ DEMANDS FOR EXTRAVAGANTLY PROFITABLE FAKED WARS = IT IS AN EASY ideology to KNOW, PAROT, AND LIE ABOUT AS IT IS THE SAME STORY THST HAS EXISTED SINCE THE ROTHSCHILDS SUPPORTED IN THE 1700s the NAPOLEANIC Wars. THEY PERFECTLY WELL KNOW THE “what lies must be told—the biggest being that they take moral stances on issues that aren’t safe and anodyne. They have been at this game a long time. And they will, should their careers require it, happily sell us out again.”

Leslie Gelb, in magazine Foreign Affairs, spelled it out after the invasion of Iraq. = “My initial support for the war was symptomatic of unfortunate tendencies within the foreign policy community, namely the disposition and incentives to support wars to retain political and professional credibility. We ‘experts’ have a lot to fix about ourselves, even as we ‘perfect’ the media. We must redouble our commitment to independent thought, and embrace, rather than cast aside, opinions and facts that blow the common—often wrong—wisdom apart. Our democracy requires nothing less.” = SUCH DISGUSTING BACKSLIDING TO COVER FAILURES!

ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST CORPORATE MEDIA PRODUCES MORAL COWARDS OUT OF THE FAKE LIBERAL MEDIA TO SUPPORT ROTHSCHILDS’ WARS.

THESE ROTHSCHILDS PAWNS REFERRED TO AS POWER ELITISTS ARE ” especially evident when it comes to the plight of the Palestinians. The liberal class, in fact, is used to marginalize and discredit those, such as Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein, who have the honesty, integrity and courage to denounce Israeli war crimes. And the liberal class is compensated for its dirty role in squelching debate.”

“The Federal Reserve: 100 Years of ‘Financial Terrorism'” by Stephen Lendman Global Research Dec 23 2013

FED BANKSTERS

Click for Source Article on Global Research

IN THE LATE DARK OF NIGHT: December 23, 1913 will live in infamy = JUST BEFORE Christmas, House and Senate members passed the Federal Reserve Act (FSA) in the DARK OF NIGHT and a BLACKMAILED President Woodrow Wilson (ROTHSCHILDS+JP MORGAN TOOL) signed the FSA into law straightaway.

FACT: Most congressional members hadn’t read FSA LAW but were TOLD BY ROTHSCHILDS AGENTS TO VOTE YES. They wouldn’t have understood it anyway. It was cleverly worded to deceive them. Only its creators knew its purpose.

Ellen Brown explains it best = “In plain English, the Federal Reserve Act authorized a private central bank to create money out of nothing, lend it to the government at (USURY) interest, and control the nation’s money supply, expanding or contracting it at will.” TO SUIT THE ROTHSCHILDS GOALS.

ROTHSCHILDS MADE SURE THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF AMERICANS HARD EARNED MONEY TO PAY THE USURY INTEREST = FEW Weeks before the FSA was enacted, the 1913 INTERNAL Revenue Act became law (IRS) FEDERAL TAXING OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PAY THE BANKSTERS USURY INTEREST ON THIER ROTHSCHILD SCAM + MANY MORE SCAMS TO COME INCLUDING FAKED $TRILLIONS IN WARS.

FACT: 1913 IN THE BDARK OF NIGHT = AMERICANS WERE FORCED TO PAY FEDERAL TAXES TO BANKSTERS FOR USURY INTEREST ON MONEY CREATED IN SECONDS WITH NO WORK “OUT-OF-THIN-AIR” = UNITED STATES OF AMERICANS BECAME DEBT SLAVES TO ROTHSCHILDS MAFIA IN THE DARK OF NIGHT IN 1913. + THAT FSA ACT ALLOWED ROTHSCHILDS BANKSTERS TO MANIPULATE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY TO ROB AMERICANS OF THEIR WEALTH ANY TIME THEY WANTED TO.

ROTHSCHILD ZIONIST = University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs TURNED TRUTH ON ITS HEAD = Calls itself a “nonpartisan research institute …to expand understanding of the presidency, policy, and political history.” = Calls the Federal Reserve Act “one of the crowning achievements of President Wilson’s New Freedom program…(helped) safeguard America’s financial institutions, the American economy, and the supply of US currency.” = PURE LIES as FSA let BANKSTERS control the currency TO IMPOSE DEBT SLAVERY ON AMERICANS and their Government for 100 YEARS OF DESTRUCTIVE AMERICAN PAIN AND ROTHSCHILDS WEALTH GRABBING = A ROTHSCHILDS financial weapon of mass destruction.

WHO DID THIS ROTTEN ROTHSCHILDS DEEDS IN 1910 to 1913? = 7 ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST CRIMINALS = ANTI-AMERICANS WORKED IN COMPLETE SECRET ON Jekll Island, S.C. = ONE SENATOR Nelson Aldrich + Frank Valderclip (Rockefeller CROOK) + Charles Norton & Benjamin Strong (JP MORGAN CROOKS) + Paul Warberg (Direct Rothschild CROOK)

FACT: ROTHSCHILDS AT $500+ TRILLION OWN THE MAJORITY OF ASSETS IN THE WORLD AFTER 3+ CETURIES OF THOUSANDS OF SCAMS = ROTHSCHILDS BANKSTERS INCLUDE ROCKEFELLER BANKS + MORGAN BANKS = THESE ANTI-AMERICAN ZIONIST CRIMINALS planned the Federal Reserve System and FORCED IT THROUGH CONGRESS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT ON DEC 23, 1913 = A TERRORIST STRIKE AGAINST AMERICANS FAR WORSE THAN 911

FACT: Congress acted unconstitutionally as DID Wilson when he signed FSA into law = Violated the Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 that says “Congress (has) sole power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof.” + 1935 = Supreme Court ruled Congress can’t constitutionally delegate its authority to another body or group.” LEAST OF ALL LETTING THE ROTHSCHILDS MAFIA OF EUROPE CREATE AMERICAN MONEY AND CHARGE AMERICANS USURY FOR THAT MONEY = Congress and Wilson defrauded the AMERICANS = MOST ANTI-AMERICAN ACT IN HISTORY WITH PATRIOT ACT A CLOSE SECOND.

FACT: Former Princeton law professor Woodrow Wilson understood full well what he did. He acted lawlessly anyway.

QUOT BY WILSON TO LATER COVER FOR HIS FRAUD said: ”I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its credit system. Our system of credit is concentrated…The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.” = WILSON DID EFFECTIVELY DID AWAY WITH OUR US CREDIT CURRENCY AND IMPOSED ROTHSCHILD MAFIAS DEBT CURRENCY ON AMERICANS TO CREATE A DEBT SLAVERY NATION TO ROTHSCHILD CRIMINALS!

QUOTE OF WILSON MUCH LATER: “We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

FACT: ROTHSCHILD BLACKMAILED President Wilson to cover up an affair that he had that would havew ruined his PRESIDENCY.

FACT: ROTHSCHILDS MAFIA FORCED WILSON to sign into law the 1917 Espionage Act and 1918 Sedition Act. = Measures targeted SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEACH = ESPECIALLY ABOUT WHAT THE ROTHSCHILDS ZIONIST MAFIA HAS DONE TO AMERICANS.

FACT: Sedition Act prohibited anti-government (CLEVERLY THEY MADE THE FEDERAL RESERVE SOUND LIKE GOVERNMENT WHEN PRIVATE BANKSTERS OPERATE IT) “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language.” = REPEALED FINALLY in December 1920.

Both measures never should have become law in the first place. Nor FSA. Congress and Wilson bore full responsibility. Subsequent lawmakers and administrations did nothing to change things.

James Madison knew the dangers of letting bankers create money.

“History,” he said, “records that the Money Changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.”

Thomas Jefferson stressed:

“I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”

“Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance.”

“The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”

The Bank of the United States was its first national one. In 1791, it was established. It was based in Philadelphia.

At the time, it was America’s capital. Andrew Jackson called it a “hydra-headed monster.” He called bankers “vipers and thieves.”

Lincoln expressed angst during America’s Civil War, saying:

“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.”

“It is more despotic than a monarch, more insolent than autocracy and more selfish than a bureaucracy.”

“It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.”

“I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at the rear is my greatest foe.”

He signed into law the 1862 Legal Tender Act. It empowered the Treasury to issue greenbacks.

Lincoln refused to pay bankers 24 – 36% interest. They demanded usury to fund his war on southern states.

Treasury issued currency was interest free. It would be today if Washington issued its own money.

After Lincoln’s assassination, new legislation rescinded greenback currency. Washington again paid bankers irresponsibly. It still does so today.

It benefits bankers. It enriches them. It does so at the expense of popular interests. Wall Street and Washington conspire against them.

Wealth is transferred from Main Street to powerful financial interests. Bipartisan complicity permits it.

Monied interests run America. They wage financial war on humanity. They do so by controlling money, credit and debt. They manipulate markets for private enrichment.

In his book titled , “Tragedy and Hope,” historian Carroll Quigley said:

“(T)he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.”

“This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.”

Money power is supreme. It’s omnipotent. It assures controlling economies, commerce, politics and imperial adventurism. House of Rothschild founder Amschel Rothschild said:

”Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” He didn’t care what laws were passed provided he retained money power.

Former Bank of England director Josiah Stamp said:

“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth.”

“Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again.”

“However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.”

“But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.”

The Fed isn’t federal. It has no reserves. It’s one of four dominant central banks. Others include the Bank of England, ECB, and Bank of Japan.

The Basel, Switzerland-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS) functions as a central bank for central bankers.

It’s an unaccountable boss of bosses. It’s final solution plan calls for establishing a global currency it controls. Achieving it assures ultimate money power.

Ellen Brown calls its headquarters the “tower of Basel.” It’s been “scandal-ridden” from inception. It’s called “the most exclusive, secretive, and powerful supranational club in the world.”

It’s run by a handful of powerful private central banks. They can make or break world economies.

Their tactics include lowering or raising capital requirements. Doing so permits greater or lesser amounts of lending.

Economist Henry CK Liu said Basel Accords force national banking systems “to march to the same tune. (They) serve the needs of highly sophisticated global financial markets.”

It’s done “regardless of the development needs of their national economies.”

A century of Fed power was hugely destructive. America lurched from one crisis to another. A 1913 dollar isn’t worth a plug nickel today. Artificially manipulated inflation eroded its value.

Fed policy caused booms, busts, inflation, deflation, instability, crises, and today’s protracted Main Street Depression.

Growing poverty, unemployment, underemployment, homelessness, hunger and human misery reflect it. Money power in private hands is responsible for:

economic instability;
wrecking world economies for profit;
waging wars for it;
rising consumer debt;
record budget and trade deficits;
an out-of-control national debt;
record numbers of business and personal bankruptcies;
millions of home foreclosures;
loss of America’s manufacturing base; and
an unprecedented wealth gap between America’s privileged class and all others.
Ostensibly, the Fed was established to stabilize the economy, smooth out the business cycle, maintain healthy sustainable growth, create price stability, control inflation, and work for the betterment of everyone.

It didn’t turn out this way. Fed policy is polar opposite. It spurned its mandate. Wall Street control prioritizes self-interest.

The 1978 Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act (aka Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act) was enacted to fulfill the 1946 Employment Act’s mandate.

Doing so requires pursuing “maximum employment, production, purchasing power,” price stability, and balanced trade cooperatively with private enterprise.

It involves Fed policy prioritizing sustainable, minimal inflation growth. It called for unemployment not exceeding 3% for persons aged 20 or over, not over 4% for those over age 16, and inflation held under 4%.

In 1988, a zero inflation target was set. Pre and post-Humphrey-Hawkins Fed policy produced polar opposite results.

It wasn’t happenstance. It was orchestrated by design. It was done to shift wealth disproportionately to Wall Street, other corporate favorites, and super-rich elites.

It was done to circumvent America’s anti-trust laws. It let Wall Street and other corporate giants eliminate competition. Doing so let them consolidate, become huge and more dominant.

It let money power in private hands more than ever run America. It let Wall Street and other major central banks rule the world.

They transformed global economies into an unprecedented money making racket. Government collusion facilitates it.

In America, it’s at the highest federal, state and local levels. It permits scamming ordinary people for profit.

Growing millions lost jobs, incomes, benefits, savings, homes, and futures. Today’s contagion is global. Billions suffer. Economies, communities and households are wrecked for profit.

Washington is Wall Street occupied territory. Profits are privatized. Losses are socialized.

Casino capitalism is the coin of the realm. Grand Theft Wall Street reflects it. Markets are manipulated for profit.

Other tactics include front-running them, pumping and dumping, scamming investors, buying politicians like toothpaste, bribing them for control, placing banking officials in high administration posts, and getting open-ended low or no interest bailouts and other special benefits when needed.

Whatever bankers want they get. Social America is being eliminated to benefit them. Money is made the old fashioned way. Business as usual reflects it.

Publicly controlled money could change things. Former congressman Ron Paul tried several times. He sponsored the Federal Reserve Abolition Act. No co-sponsors joined him.

Paul responsibly tried putting money power back in public hands where it belongs. Doing so works as intended. Inflation-free prosperity follows.

Ellen Brown calls it a “practical, proven approach.” It works the same way everywhere. It worked for 25 years in colonial America.

It can work the same way again. It’s the antidote to corrupted, dysfunctional privatized banking. For 100 years, it worked wonders for Wall Street.

It created dystopian harshness for growing millions. It’s worse than ever today. What better time than now to change things.

Doing so is responsible. It’s sensible. It’s essential. It’s sorely needed. It’s an idea whose time has come. Ending business as usual depends on it.

A Final Comment

Ron Paul addressed the Fed’s 100th anniversary, saying:

“(S)ecret negotiations (established) a banking cartel. (It’s) grown ever stronger through the years.” It operates “independent(ly).”

“Rather than preventing financial crises, (it precipitates) new ones.”

“Talk about putting inmates in charge of the asylum!”

“Now we are reaping the noxious effects of a century of” Fed policy.

“(O)ur economy remains mired in mediocrity.”

“A century ago politicians failed to understand that (19th century) financial panics (were) caused by collusion between government and the banking sector.”

Today we know more. “(W)e know better,” said Paul. “We know that the Federal Reserve continues to strengthen the collusion between banks and politicians.”

“We know (Fed) policy continues to reap profits for Wall Street while impoverishing Main Street.”

“One hundred years is long enough. End the Fed.” Put money power back in public hands where it belongs!

IRAN NUKE DEAL WILL NOT CHANGE NON-NUKE POLCIES WITH USA — SINCE THOSE WERE NOT DISCUSSED — SAYS IRANIAN LEADER

IRAN NUKE DEAL WILL NOT CHANGE NON-NUKE POLCIES WITH USA — SINCE THOSE WERE NOT DISCUSSED — SAYS IRANIAN LEADER

BUT LOOK AT THE WESTERN MEDIA HEADLINE OF DISTORTION!

“Iranian nuclear deal won’t change policy toward US, says Ayatollah Ali Khamenei” The GUARDIAN

Ayatollah-Khamenei

Click for Source Article in the Guardian

Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on TV that US policy in the Middle East was not in line with Tehran’s strategy and Iran will continue to support its allies in the Middle East. = Lebanese + Palestinians + Syria and Assad

NUKE talks with Washington, UK, China, France, Russia, and Germany were strictly limited to that issue only. No other dialogue with Washington or others about other issues occurred.

Khamenei said like in the past the door to other issues if the US carried out its obligations under the deal in good faith = US, UN and European sanctions on Iran’s economy are lifted.

Iran has pledged to place curbs on its nuclear program for at least a decade and will NOT develop nuclear weapons, but will develop its atomic programs in civilian energy and for medical purposes. Khamenei praised president Hassan Rouhani, foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the Iran’s negotiators for their hard work.

Currently the agreement is not yet law and must be carefully scrutinized. = “The text that has been prepared, whether it is approved or not, they have done their part and they should have their reward.”

Khamenei = Has final word on all policy matters, foreign and domestic, including on the nuclear deal + A law passed last month requires Iran’s parliament to approve the nuclear deal and deal with questions about the west’s side of the bargain being met — Role of supreme national security council that reports directly to Khamenei.
