The Era of Manufactured Crises:Orwellian Nation State Politics and Media Controls are the Opiates of the Masses

The headlines of this week alone are a conglomerate of manufactured crises and it needs to be said that the masses love to have it so.

Anyone would be upset realizing that what happened in Benghazi, Libya was no mistake. The events that happened there were not without warning or calls for help. However, we ask all the wrong questions when it comes to Benghazi. We’ve been asking “Why didn’t Clinton authorize greater security,” and “Where was Obama in all this,” and “Who ordered the stand down command?” All wrong questions.

You’d be wise to remember that after the Assassination of Ambassador Stevens and the Manufactured Crisis that a YouTube video set off the attack there were weeks of riots across the Islamic states over the false YouTube video report. I remember doing a post on the riots and demanding the release of the “YouTube” video because I knew there was no such video and I was curious as to why/how all these Islamic states were rioting over something that never existed.

The questions we should be asking are, “Why was Ambassador Stevens there in the first place,” and “Why was he traveling with the CIA (agent “Shawn Smith”),” and, “What set off the mob if it wasn’t the YouTube video we were told insulted Islam?” What was their purpose in Libya? Weren’t they under direct orders from the State Department and/or the White House itself? I would ask, not just “who gave the stand down orders,” but also,“Who gave the assassination orders to kill Stevens and his crew, and what did they know that they had to be killed and a whole fake story had to be constructed?”

[N4TM confronted all these issues straightaway on 9/14/2012 *Flashback http://news4themasses.wordpress.com/2012/09/14/mass-media-wins-benghazi-staged-attack-leads-to-new-war-in-libya-and-north-africa/]

Ever wonder how the Media was able to sustain the lie over Benghazi for so long? Remember the riots in other Islamic Countries over the “YouTube Video?” All the MSM were reporting on this AP, Reuters, CNN, FOX news, as well as your favorite alternative news agencies and “independent” journalists. There were videos and still photographs, real rallies that took place in support of those fellow Muslims who were insulted by a fake YouTube video that never existed. Remember here in the US there was a witch hunt for the director of the fake movie? He was even fake arrested and his fellow extras who appeared in the iPhone made move were interviewed! Let’s not forget all this surrounded the coverage of this story and all the MSM were there, now all of a sudden a few MSM have jumped on the “We demand to know the truth about Benghazi” bandwagon. I suggest you think long and hard about where these “independent” thinkers were in the hours and days right after the Assassination. They were following orders reporting the same as everyone else, and today the few who’ve branched off to “demand the Truth on Benghazi” are still following orders. (It’s called controlled opposition)

The other major fake story breaking this week has been the IRS plunging into the depths of the private citizens of America and their political affiliations. Truly, this is breaking news, that for over a few years the Government has been monitoring “fringe” political groups and “Christians?” I’m sorry but I’m not impressed or highly threatened by this headline. Those who know have been bemoaning for just as long if not longer that the Government has swelled in omnipotence and omnipresence. And clearly those who know that this has been going on for years also know that it wasn’t the love child of Obama but it began long before El Manchurian became potus. So let us dissect the IRS story just a little. It was “leaked” by whom, the White House, for what reason, to distract the people who are the main group demanding truth about Benghazi (The Assassination of an Ambassador and his spies)? Both crises were manufactured as distractions from what the Shadow Government has been doing all along. That’s the one question not being asked, “What is the government really doing when we’re all distracted with the fake stores dished out to us on a continual basis?”

Opiate of the Masses

The masses love to have a new cause to rise to. There’s a whole market out there for locos who have enough money and are willing to cry on tv and radio and sing the national anthem off key while selling you their clothing brand and vacations where you can join them in learning about Americana History. There’s people telling you to call your congressman and Senators to demand answers on “Benghazigate” and for someone’s job to be lost over the IRS “scandal.” There are people who keep you on the hamster wheel of doom and gloom, sudden death and destruction, sucked to the constant streams of twitter feeds, twitchy, and Facebook posts of the “next shoe to drop,” or the next “big breaking scandal” that will reveal what a Cretan Obama is. You must admit it, all the while, you simply love it and gobble it down like it’s manna from heaven rather than raise an eyebrow as to why they would have you on the constant opiate of falsity. There’s a certain media personality who has close to One Billion hits a month. He supposedly “reports” the news headlines, but often times you’ll notice he also creates them. With that many readers/visitors to his site he’s often the one Breaking the News to the cable MSM news outlets. His site consists of RSS feeds from all major information ‘disseminators.’ He doesn’t simply tell you what’s going on, he’s also very capable of swaying public opinion. I don’t believe that he’s fueled by a desire to provide information for the masses for their benefit, but I would take a huge guess and submit that his motives are not altruistic but are part of the problem. And with 1 Billion hits a month why wouldn’t he prove to be working for the machine?

For those waiting for your headlines:

Justice Department spies on Reporters

Associated Press says Justice Department spied on reporters’ phone calls in sweeping surveillance campaign

http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/13/4327784/associated-press-says-justice-department-spied-on-reporters-phone

“The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.

The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.

In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.

In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.

“There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,” Pruitt said.

The government would not say why it sought the records.” Source: FoxNews

□ N4TM Commentary
Obama’s administration spying on US citizens is not “breaking news” to us paranoid folk. I have been saying it all along.  This weekend, in an effort to distract from the growing Benghazi debacle, a story leaked that the IRS had targeted “tea party members. ” Today, news that the Justice Department taped AP reporters phones is adding more fuel to the fire. It’s a good thing for Obama that Americans are overwhelmingly apathetic to being spied on, and totally adjusted to not having civil liberties to consider fighting over these new findings.  If it weren’t for years of pre-conditioning us to accept invasions into what was once termed “privacy” Obama might have had to worry about riots. Lo, even the few hot blooded Americans left won’t fight back (there’s no ammo available for a civil war in America), back to Bad Piggies. Next up, we’ll find out those FEMA camps were made for Christians!

I read this post via a tweet of this picture link Here This disclaimer was in place for filming of the new Captain America sequel (filming in Washington D.C).

□ N4TM Commentary
According to this article a Christian woman in Virginia arranged the burial of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body. He was buried at a Muslim cemetery. She called it “an interfaith effort,” and referenced Christ’s command to love your enemy as her reason for aiding in the burial of the Boston bomber.

Make a Mental Note: RT reports NYPD to deploy “harmless gas”

NYPD will deploy ‘harmless’ gas into subway in terror response drill: “http://t.co/oJFZhszNpa“

The New York City Police Department announced Wednesday that it will deploy, then track, what it calls “harmless” gases into the city’s subway system over three non-consecutive days this summer.

The plan, to be enacted in July, will investigate New York’s readiness to handle a chemical terrorist attack by dispersing the colorless gas and tracing it as it flows through the city, according to Scientific American. The test is expected to cost $3.4 million and is scheduled to be carried out in all five boroughs and dozens of stations on 21 of the city’s 34 subway lines.

“The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax,” police commissioner Ray Kelly said in a statement.

The police will use roughly 200 detectors to monitor the gas. Dubbed the Subway-Surface Air Flow Exchange, the test will be the largest of its kind and organized in cooperation with the energy department’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. They’ll use perfluorocarbon tracer gases (PFTs), which are frequently used to measure potential sites for underground construction

*Breaking News Bombers #1 & #2 Chechen Brothers . Suspect #1 Dead #2 still at large

The Associated Press (@AP) tweeted at 3:03 AM on Fri, Apr 19, 2013: Police urge people in several Boston and suburban neighborhoods to stay inside amid lock down: http://t.co/vpx3jed5BF -SS N4TM: The cities of Watertown Massachusetts and Cambridge are on lock down. Fox News is screaming that these boys are Muslim. Reports from friends who heard earlier reports say now MSM saying the bombs at Boston marathon were Al Qaeda grade. Despite the last four days of every expert saying these bombs as crude and amateur. I’m watching Fox news live coverage of home in Watertown surrounded by police and keeping tabs on Twitter. More later…

*Fluid Update*

I’m just checking back in to my blog after being on Twitter and simultaneously watching breaking news on Fox News. I wanted to come back here to caution you that not everything you see and hear, even though broadcasted live, is to be believed. The story is still developing and often times it takes some time to draw distinct lines and parallels. I remain unconvinced that the Boston Marathon Bombing was international Islamic terror. The suspects have been living in the US for near ten years, they are both young, too young to have taken up a political and religious stance for a country they hardly know (Chechnya). By all intensive purposes they grew up here. Perhaps the one that came more recently has some anger who knows, but even still, coming from Chechnya they would be more inclined to side with America than Russia. If these two kids were mentored by another more mature person who has a grudge or a political motive it would make more sense. I do not back track any of my thoughts from a few posts ago that this action was clearly Domestic Terrorism and for Political gains. Keep in mind CISPA passed yesterday, Boston police/FBI is exercising military controls over those in Watertown limiting cell phone use, and keeping them locked indoors. There was a no fly zone over this area, transit halted as well. I will keep aware of this story and gather information and convey that to you as I am able.

I just watched the Uncle Ruslan Tsarni yelling at his nephew and saying they are not from Chechnya. This is down right comical if it was down right frustrating. The uncle is clean shaving now and much more fluent in speaking than when he was first approached earlier this morning. My head is shaking. Another FYI, the Government is data mining all tweets and social media right now. So, I’m limiting my tweets and comments on twitter for that reason. They are looking for those who are not going with the flow of the mass distributed script.

Here is the earlier video of Ruslan, I will post the one of him with clean shaven appearance later. ***Update*** ok, now I’m finding out these are two different Uncles, one is Ruslan Tsarni below, the one with the beard is Alvi Tsarni. That explains the jump in appearance and language–I guess. Circus show.

Ok, here is a photo of the same Uncle after a clean shave and maybe some makeup. He sounds more alert or his English has had a significant increase in fluidity, maybe he just had some strong coffee who knows.

Here’s the link to his statement to his surviving nephew to “Turn yourself in!” via fox news

The Boston Bombers father was also contacted and gave this statement:

“The father of the suspects, reached in Makhachkala, Russia, by The Associated Press, has also called on his son to surrender peacefully, but reportedly warned the United States that “all hell will break loose” if he’ll killed.

“My son is a true angel,” Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press. “Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here.”

Anzor Tsarnaev, who characterized his younger son as an intelligent and accomplished young man, told ABC News that he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. He said his sons reassured him, saying, “Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good.”

“Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you,” Anzor Tsarneav said, according to ABC News. “Come home to Russia.”

He continued: “If they killed him, then all hell would break loose.” Source Fox News article
I’m sure CIA director and Obama are discussing the International implications of this and trying to figure out how to handle this. Since I don’t trust Potus I can’t imagine how he would or could use this to his advantage. I just know that My God is bigger than his. If Obama is staging a war, God help us.

“The Blaze” is reporting this is 19 year old, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s , Twitter acct. https://twitter.com/J_tsar

It was confirmed by a friend of his from his high school. If this is his twitter account he sounds like the average lugg nut teenage boy on the street. Not a mastermind bomber, not a “Truther,” just a dumb kid. One tweet that 9-11 was an “inside job” does not qualify him as a “Truther.” He has more tweets and RT’s by Will Ferral the comedian does this make Dzhokar an SNL comedian too? No, people have checked their brains at the door. Another reason why not to follow Glenn Beck/The Blaze!

Are we on the Brink of War with North Korea or Mother Russia?

FOX2News (CNN) – The U.S. military is sending a land-based missile defense system to Guam to defend against possible North Korean ballistic missile launches, according to a news release from the Department of Defense.

The statement said the missiles, a truck-mounted launcher, and radar and target acquisition systems will be deployed in the “coming weeks.”

The system, called the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, fires missiles at enemy targets in the “terminal phase” as they approach defended territory. Guam is about 2,000 miles from North Korea.”

What’s so Important about Guam?

“The strategic significance of Guam is due to the enduring importance of its location and its topography to major maritime nations in the Pacific Ocean. Guam, some thirty miles long and ten miles wide, is the largest of the Mariana Islands, an archipelago of high volcanic islands in Micronesia, a huge expanse of small islands scattered across the western Pacific.

On the axis that crosses 5,000 miles of the Pacific between Hawaii and Asia, Guam is the only island with both a protected harbor and sufficient land for major airports. Guam is also the largest landfall for communications, shipping, and military installations on the nearly 3,000-mile north-axis from Japan to Papua New Guinea and Australia. This geography means that whoever controls Guam has access by air and sea to China to the west, to Hawaii and North America to the east, to Southeast Asia from the north and to Japan from the south. These geopolitical factors make Guam a valuable strategic nexus similar to other small island bastions in military history and maritime trade such as Hawaii, Gibralter, Malta and Singapore.” SOURCE: http://guampedia.com/guams-strategic-value/

So we are sending enforcements to Guam because of the North Korea threat, or someone else?

Russian strategic bombers ‘spotted’ near Guam amid US defense cuts threats

Published time: February 16, 2013 13:33  Source: Russia Today

“Two Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers were intercepted near the key US Pacific military base in Guam, the Washington Free Beacon website claimed. The news comes ahead of the possible sequestration of the US military budget.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, several ‘Russian Bears’ – the NATO classification of the Tu-95 – provocatively approached the US stronghold on February 12, the same day that President Barack Obama was preparing to deliver his State of the Union address.”

Guam is vital to defending the US, NK knows this, Russia knows this. Perhaps we the American people are the last ones to know this.

The RT article went on to say that all the realignment promises to defend Guam could halt due to sequestration (this was prior to 3/13), but we all know that nothing is really being “sequestered” at all. I looked into this “Guam Realignment” issue and found that as far back as July 2011 there has been in place a plan by the DOD to move close to 9,000 marines and their families to Guam and other Micronesia islands, and the cost is outrageous considering the “sequestration” we’re in.

Source:http://www.defensecommunities.org/headlines/marine-corps-realignment-to-cost-23-9b-gao-says/

Marine Corps Realignment to Cost $23.9B, GAO Says

Plans to ready Guam to accommodate 8,600 Marines and 9,000 dependents from Okinawa will cost DOD, Japan and Guam at least $23.9 billion over the next decade, according to estimates released last week by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The estimate includes $7.5 billion in DOD military construction funding. The department’s cost could rise further, though, since it has not developed cost estimates for an air and missile defense system needed to protect the island, GAO stated. Guam’s government estimates it needs $3.2 billion to improve civilian infrastructure such as roads, power, water, sewer and hospitals.

Japan will contribute to the cost of the buildup, but the United States may be forced to pay much of the realignment’s cost, reported Stars and Stripes. Japan has agreed to pay $2.9 billion for construction on Guam and to finance $3.3 billion for installation support structure for utilities and military family housing.

Meanwhile, the chorus of lawmakers calling for the Pentagon to rethink its plans for the Pacific theater continues to grow. The Senate Appropriations Committee last week requested DOD submit detailed plans, along with a justification, for the shift before it allocates funding for military construction needed to support the realignment.”

Final Thoughts/ N4TM Commentary:

The “Realignment” of Guam was factored into the 2012 FY budget and was signed into law by Obama (AKA, NDAA). The funds won’t be drying up to for this process of moving Marines to Guam from Okinawa; it may take a while to happen, but it’s going to happen. And as I pointed out above Guam is highly strategic to the US and it appears it’s also a place of vulnerability when we have reports of Russian bears flying overhead. Clearly Russia’s relationship with the US is strained. John Kerry was given the cold shoulder by Russia once Kerry became the official Secretary of State under Obama earlier this year. For those who don’t know Iraq and Afghanistan, along with Syria’s civil wars, have more to do with our fight against Russia and thirst for oil than for those respective countries need for “Democracy.” I don’t want to start having to give history lessons but you all have access to Google so look stuff up for yourselves. Stop tuning into FOX, CNN, Drudge, and “The Blaze,” for your “truth” serum doses. They won’t tell you what you can figure out on your own with a few strokes of the key. Taking all things into consideration I don’t believe Kim Jung-Un has any real power or wherewithal to start a Nuclear war with South Korea or the US. He’s definitely not 100% in the US pocket ($$) and that’s what makes him a threat and not completely controllable. I think he’s propped by China and ‘Mother’ Russia and those countries ironically support Iran, and former Hussein’s Iraq. So these small skirmishes are signs of bigger things to come. I believe the US has the most power in this current situation and either wants a war with (Russia/China) North Korea (Syria & Iran) or doesn’t. It looks like the US is the instigator  to me not so much like said contries are the ones instigating a war with us. The way the US Government is acting by removing our Civil Rights (2nd & 4th Amendment) it appears the US Government is also at war with its own citizens. Things are lining up for something truly messy. Then again we are a “Global -New World-Order” and anything is possible. Just when it looks like War is about to break out there can be some sort of resolution for the world leaders to compromise on and hence deescalate and delay matters. It remains to be seen if this situation will be for real or if it is just more smoke and mirrors. When it comes to whether or not North Korea will strike the US and/or our allies, I’m leaning towards the, “I don’t think so,” side of things.

*Update 4-3-13

After this went to post this headline appeared on ‘Drudge’ “N. Korea approves nuclear strike on United States“

Assad Not Dead. CIA helping ARM and provide INTEL to Syrian Rebels.

Sunday evening Twitter was a buzz with tweets that Bashar al-Assad was shot dead by his bodyguard. The rumor quickly dissipated once Russia Today tweeted that this was an absurd lie. Since no legitimate news agency was breaking with this news it was evident very quickly that it was in fact a false flag. The initial news of Assad’s “rumored” death caused me to get online and revisit the topic of Syria. I gathered some updated news on Syria and Bashar al-Assad and here’s what I found:

Assad ‘Living on Warship’

“Unconfirmed report in Saudi newspaper says Syrian strongman travels to Syria by helicopter to attend meetings.

By Gil Ronen (1-14-13) Source Arutz Sheva

Syrian President Bashar Assad and his family have been living on a warship, with security provided by Russia, intelligence sources told Saudi newspaper Al Watan.

The report has not been confirmed by other news sources.

According to the report, the family and Assad’s aides live on the ship, which is floating in the Mediterranean Sea, and Assad travels to Syria by helicopter to attend official meetings and receptions.

When he flies to Syria, he lands at secret locations and is transported to the presidential palace under heavy guard, the sources said.

Assad’s presence on the warship suggests he has been granted political asylum by Russia but there has been no official comment from Moscow, Al Watan added.”

But more interesting than Assad being alive and living on a warship is this headline…

CIA helping Syrian rebels in fight against Bashar al-Assad’s troops, report says

The CIA is helping Syrian opposition fighters by feeding information to select rebels to try to make them more effective against government troops, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. Source: GlobalPost.com

Here’s an Excerpt:

“The CIA is helping Syrian opposition fighters by feeding information to select rebels to try to make them more effective against government troops, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

Citing unnamed current and former US officials, the newspaper wrote that the new CIA effort reflected a change in the administration’s approach to the Syrian conflict.

In their effort to help secular fighters, the CIA had sent officers to Turkey to vet any rebels slated to receive arms shipments from Gulf allies, the WSJ said.

At the same time, administration officials cited concerns about some weapons going to Islamists, the paper noted, adding that Western nations favor fighters aligned with the Free Syrian Army, which supports the Syrian Opposition Coalition political group.

The White House had also directed the CIA to help the Iraqis counter the flow of Al Qaeda-linked fighters across the border with Syria, the Journal wrote.”

The Assad’s are hardly reclusive, here’s another recent headline on Bashar al-Assad’s wife (Britain Born Britain educated):

Bashar Al Assad’s wife, children make rare appearance in Damascus (March 18,2013)

“Damascus: Syrian President Bashar Al Assad’s wife and his children have made a rare public appearance at a charity fund-raiser in Damascus for mothers of soldiers killed in the two-year conflict, his office said on Facebook Sunday.” Source: Gulf News

I think this headline and topic is much more interesting than a twitter rumor about Assad’s attempted murder story:

CIA Is Feeding Intel To The Friendlier Syrian Rebels To Counter The Jihadists

(March 23, 3013)

here’s an Excerpt:

“The CIA is doing more to bolster non-radical Syrian rebels to counter the increasing dominance of jihadist groups, Adam Entous, Siobhan Gorman, and Nour Malas The Wall Street Journal report.

The Agency is now feeding intelligence to secular-leaning rebels, presumably members of the West-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), to use against government forces.

The intelligence comes from satellites and other surveillance systems that collect intelligence on Syrian troop and aircraft movements, powerful radars in Turkey used to track Syrian ballistic missiles and pinpoint launch sites, and the extensive spy networks Israel and Jordan have inside Syria, U.S. and European officials told WSJ.

Officials told WSJ that the move is part of an effort to “influence which groups dominate in post-Assad Syria,” which will be difficult given that Islamic militias such as Jabhat al Nusra have long been the opposition’s best and most organized fighters.

Nusra — a group of about 10,000 fighters led by veterans of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) — “resembles an army more than a quaint little terrorist group,” Seth Jones, an al Qaeda specialist at the Rand Corp. think tank, told WSJ. “As this war drags on against Assad and as long as they are able to build up their capabilities, it’s going to make it all the more harder to target them once the regime falls.”

This week the group helped capture a major air defense base in a strategic region of southern Syria near Jordan and territories in the Golan Heights near Israel. Meanwhile its members claimed large-scale raids in Syria’s Hama and Idlib governorates.

Nusra and its allies already control much of northern Syria. Earlier this week Liz Sly of the Washington Post detailed how Nusra runs more than half of Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city and commercial hub, where they turned a hospital into their headquarters and instituted Islamic law in rebel-held areas.” Source: BusinessInsider.com

With friends like these who needs enemies? Aaa Assad? Did the US CONgress vote to go to war with Syria? Did I miss the televised vote by our US officials to officially declare WAR against Syria? If the CIA, a United States Intelligence Service that operates under the United States Government is aiding and abetting Al Qaeda rebels to oust Bashar al-Assad shouldn’t we the people at least know about it? Did the President not just declare a “Sequester?” I’m sure providing arms and intel to Syrian “rebels” costs some money, right? Maybe they are being helped with personal financing or lobbyist funding via Barack Obama, still I think we should know that too!

Rise of the Drones Saturday Night Feature

Christopher Dorner Manhunt Makes a Good Case for Drones in America

Areal photo of the burned out cabin where Cop Killer Christopher Dorner standoff ended in Angelus Oaks California, minutes away from Big Bear, CA.

February 7th was the day the world heard about Christopher Dorner. A man with a manifesto, killed two innocent people in Irvine days before and had a hit list of LAPD officers. He was no ordinary lunatic. Dorner had not only police tactical training as a former LAPD officer he was also a Naval Officer trained in A-Symmetrical warfare. He was caught off guard in Corona, CA where he quickly then fled to Riverside of the 15 fwy and ambushed two Riverside Police Officers, killing one, and severely injuring another. All points bulletin, Code Blue. Armed and dangerous, trained in killing and confusing the enemy. When Dorner’s burned out truck was discovered atop of Big Bear Mountain in a small community the manhunt had already began and it was about to take further twists and turns. Every Law Enforcement agency in Southern California wanted this man. He had just killed one of their own and he published a hit list of many LAPD officers. When Dorner’s truck was located in Big Bear media was restricted from showing the areal shots while searches were under way in the mountainous area for this killer. This fact led many to speculate that Drone(s) were being used to comb the area for Dorner. I cannot confirm that Drones were used. The FBI was on the manhunt as well, and although no MSM would touch the fact that the US Government remained deathly silent on one of their own soldiers going off the ranch, we have to know they were fully aware and perhaps even aiding in the search. (My own speculation). We do know that the FBI utilized a Drone to monitor the “Bunker” guy in Alabama just weeks prior to Dorner’s rampage. The Feds closed in after allowing the circus to go on for five or six days and stormed the bunker, shooting the man to death. He was witnessed killing a bus driver and kidnapping a young five year old boy. He was reported to be anti-government. Dorner was not Anti-Government, his philosophies were more aligned with Liberal Agenda talking points (per his own Manifesto). While he hypocritically espoused to be anti-gun and petitioned Barbara Boxer to pass her Anti-Gun laws Dorner was buying up guns, suppressors, and ammo to go on his killing spree of law enforcement officers. We know this administration does all it can to not let a good crisis go to waste. The case for using drones would be easy in a situation like the Manhunt for Dorner, and it would be also in a situation like Sandy Hook. Is it coincidence that the 16 page Memo leaked about CIA director nominee Brennan on the use of Drones on US soil in search for Domestic Terrorists came out on February 4th 2013 and Dorner’s rampage began on February 3rd with the killing of daughter of Randy Quan former LAPD DA who was one of Dorner’s listed targets? People have to feel fear and helplessness first to be willing to trust unconstitutional means of providing safety to the public (e.g TSA, Nude Scanners, Gun prohibition, and now Drones). Perhaps now that our eyes have been manipulated to see a need for Drones, as in the case of Dorner and the Bunker guy, we can recognize that there has already been significant strides in implementing Drones in the US. We just hadn’t paid much attention to what the US Government under the Administration of Obama has been doing to activate Domestic Drones.

Are They Already Watching You (us)?

Do not be ignorant folks, Drones are in use in America already.

“In April 2012, the FAA released a shorter list of entities that had applied for permission to fly drones in the U.S. Although some of those requests were listed as disapproved or expired, the new list does not include either distinction.

An additional 20 U.S. entities that have requested drone authorization have been added to the previous list. Newly listed applicants filed their requests between July 2011 and October 2012, Lynch said, adding that the FAA did not provide the statuses of the requests on the latest document, even though EFF had requested that information.

While universities are likely to fly drones for academic and research purposes, some police departments have said they want to use drones for law enforcement, including for surveillance and crowd control. A sheriff’s office in Texas even went so far as to say it might be a good idea to equip its $300,000 Shadowhawk drone with Tasers, tear gas and rubber bullets, The Daily reported in March.” Source HuffingtonPost.com

From Slate.com: Could the Pentagon’s 1.8 Gigapixel Drone Camera Be Used for Domestic Surveillance?

“From more than 17,000 feet in the air, it can see an object as small as six inches, tracking people and vehicles across an entire city. But the latest government-funded surveillance technology might be a violation of the Constitution if it is deployed in the United States, according to civil liberties groups.

Late last month, an episode of PBS’s series NOVA, “Rise of the Drones,” revealed for the first time the capabilities of an “ARGUS-IS”—the world’s highest resolution camera. Funded by the Pentagon’s research unit DARPA, the 1.8 gigapixel ARGUS was designed to be used on drones to monitor events on the ground below. It was developed by Jiannis Antoniades, an engineer with the defense firm BAE Systems, who told Nova the technology uses a “persistent stare” that is equivalent of having 100 Predator drones look at an area the size of a medium city at once.” Source Slate.com

Hit Lists, Drones, and Dead Men Walking.

Christopher Dorner a self proclaimed vigilante and justice seeker had a hit list. Barack Obama has a hit list too. Obama has already legalized killing American citizens at home or abroad if they are deemed “terrorists.” Remember Anwar al-Awlaki? He was an American Citizen targeted by Obama and given the ok to use a drone strike against him to kill him.

Barack Obama orders killing of US cleric Anwar al-Awlaki

Barack Obama’s administration has authorized the assassination of the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a rare move against an American citizen. Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/7564581/Barack-Obama-orders-killing-of-US-cleric-Anwar-al-Awlaki.html

Perhaps you don’t recall the manhunt for this man. If you do not know this man was a target and killed via drone, your may not also know that his teenage son was killed with him.

“Among the slain was also Abdel-Rahman Awlaki, Anwar’s 16-year-old son, one of his cousins Ahmed Abdelrahman Awlaki, and several of their friends, who were all teenage boys.

And despite the stereotype, the teenage boys weren’t out “doing terrorism” in some vague non-specific manner in the Shabwa Province. According to a statement from relatives, they were out to dinner, eating “under the moon light” when US missiles landed.

Though the Obama Administration seems pretty comfortable with assassinating the elder Awlaki, even though he was a US citizen and not charged with any crimes, the killing of the assorted other people, including several teenagers, seems considerably more suspect. Killing children with missiles isn’t exactly new to the president, of course, but Abdel-Rahman’s status as a natural-born US citizen who was never even suspected of a crime is likely to make it difficult to sweep his assassination under the rug.” Source Here (not an endorsement of the site) Here’s another source: The Atlantic

The United States Government already uses drones on US soil. The United States Government already targets Americans and issues green lights for those on its kill list. The United States Government has already issued defining characteristics of what it considers to be “extremist” and/or domestic terrorism. Do not be ignorant folks, YOU ARE THE ENEMY, this Administration has already said so. And don’t you ever forget it!

*note from N4TM I cannot say that I’m for the use of Drones 100%. I would have not objected to the use of a Drone to locate Dorner, but I would not be in favor of it being used to kill him especially if there were innocent people who would get killed in return. I don’t advocate the use of Drones by the US military in Pakistan. I have done a lot of research on that topic and there is extensive innocent lives lost when they use these weapons. This is not an easy call because as we all know when it’s our loved ones in danger we would want all means necessary to find the bad guy. However, our current government has identified you and me as the “bad guy,” so how we can be for it if the system be against us? This will continue to be an issue of grave importance and a matter of thoughtful prayer and consideration.

Update #ChristopherDorner revisited *Breaking: Release ID of Riverside PD Officer killed by Dorner

February 10, 2013

One week from the killing of Monica Quan and her fiancé at the hands of Christopher Dorner the killer remains at large. He killed an officer in Riverside California on February 7th and continues to ‘evade’ law enforcement. The “manhunt” involves multilevel and multiple law enforcement agencies; however, the Naval Officer, former LAPD officer, and wanted assassin has stirred a few “Fan Pages” on Facebook  and direct “pleas” from Hollywood’s finest actor Charlie Sheen and other ‘B’ rated public icons. The story has turned very strange. Here are some of the latest developments, or for a lack of a better word, “information” on this enigma.

Evaluating Christopher Dorner’s Ramblings

Late morning on Friday N4TM posted the remaining 9 pages in addition of the 11 pages originally posted on Thursday February 7th. I read through those pages thoroughly and analyzed it as to the best of my ability. I noticed that there are two distinct tones he takes both conversely different in the first 11 pages than the last 9 pages. When I read through the first 11 pages I read what was termed Dorner’s “Manifesto.” The first part read intelligently, coherently, analytically and thorough. The second part read as if written by an egomaniac detached from reality. Christopher Dorner spent approximately 1 ½pages addressing his closest friends, of which I read one whom stated in an interview he had not heard from Dorner in over 7 yrs until more recently in 2009. Then Mr. Dorner spent 4 ½ pages addressing Celebrities and Politicians. In the first portion of the Rambling (first 11 pages) Mr. Dorner denigrated everyone, every section of society he could in relation to the LAPD. He addressed in general terms, “Caucasian officers, Black officers, Hispanic officers, Lesbian officers, and Asian officers.” However, in the second portion of his Rambling he supported and encouraged Ellen DeGeneres for changing the way America views the LGBT community, and spoke highly of women in combat issue. He maintained his grouping of women as objects in his second part of the Rambling when he grouped a laundry list of “attractive” female actresses in Hollywood, with the exception of singling out DeGeneres and Hillary Clinton. Throughout his entire Rambling he generally addresses specifically men and generally women; this tells me he objectifies women and thinks less of them. As you can see from the previous post that includes the whole text of the second part of the Rambling, it ends abruptly and incompletely. If you bothered to read through all 20 pages as I have you will have noticed that the transitions between paragraphs at certain parts are not smooth. Either there was an omission of more verbiage or whoever wrote it is still writing and we’ll get the “missing” pieces later. In the first portion Dorner speaks as though he is a proficient marksman, which he is by further investigation into his bio. Then, in the second portion he gives a laundry list of his weapons cache and the “maker” of the guns he has and how he obtained them “legally” while encouraging Liberal Political Opinion that a “reinstatement” of an Assault Weapons Ban. Why would he give a list, certainly not for Law Enforcement’s sake, it was for Joe Public’s sake and of course the MSM (Main Stream Media). According to contacts he listed as his friends no one has attributed any mental illness to this man, did he write this Ramble?

The last known picture of him was taken off a surveillance camera from a Naval base at Point Loma  in San Diego area, January 28th 2013. He was not in a “hotel” as is being reported. (He was in his heavier stage.) His official end date of working for the Navy Reserve was February 1st 2013. There was a report that he attempted to steal a boat in the San Diego area but the report states he had “trouble starting the boat.” I don’t believe a Navy officer who “joined the U.S. Navy in 2002, achieving the rank of lieutenant in 2006, according to military records. He served as a reservist in Nevada and San Diego, and was a member of the Coastal Riverine Group deployed to Bahrain from November 2006 to April 2007. He was stationed at the Navy Mobilization Processing Site in San Diego in 2007 and the Navy Air Station Fallon reserve unit in Nevada in 2009. He left Navy service officially on Feb. 1. During his service, he was awarded the Iraqi Campaign Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Rifle Marksman Ribbon, Pistol Expert Medal, among other commendations.” Source Here
wasn’t able to start a boat in San Diego. I don’t buy that one.

Newest Release: Michael Crane, Riverside California Police Officer who was murdered by Christopher Dorner.

Released by Press Enterprise of Riverside, CA.

“Michael Crain was born on April 9, 1978 in Anaheim to Stephen and Cindy Crain. He was the oldest of three children — with a brother, Jason, and sister, Leslie. He was raised in the Riverside area and graduated from Redlands High School in 1996.

After attending Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa for a year, Crain joined the United States Marine Corps as a rifleman in the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 3rd Battalion 1st Marines. He served two deployments in Kuwait and was promoted from squad leader to sergeant.

He was then stationed in Camp Pendleton where he taught military operations in urban terrain and earned the good conduct medal, the armed forces expeditionary medal, the sea service deployment ribbon with one star, a certificate of commendation and rifle marksmanship badge.

After his honorable discharge, Crain went to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Academy and graduated in class No. 152. He joined the Riverside Police Department in 2001 and was sworn in on Aug. 24.

During his 11 years with Riverside Police Department, he served as a patrol officer, helicopter observer, field training officer, firearms instructor and was assigned to the University Neighborhood Enhancement Team and the Special Weapons and Tactics Team.

Crain left behind a wife, Regina, a 10-year-old son, Ian, and a 4-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn.” Source Here. My prayers are with the immediate family of Officer Crane and to those fellow men and women of Riverside PD who lost their family member, Officer Crane.

The Dorner case continues to baffle me as the liberal Media overtly refuses to address his homage to them and their ilk.

This murderer of three, including an officer by all accounts had nothing to do with Dorner’s quip over the LAPD, seems to be more of a Hollywood sensation dawning Facebook fan pages for a wanted killer and video tapped “shout outs” by actors. Since Dorner did spend more time (word count) on Hollywood than on his hit list those in Hollywood are worried that Dorner may try to “disrupt” the Grammy’s this  weekend to gain notoriety publicity. Anonymous has published the LAPD case record. It looks like the appeal filed by Dorner, as if publishing this means this man’s actions of killing in cold blood is permissible. The MSM continues to spin the story and use it as a mouth piece for whatever corrupt policy they want to enforce. Meanwhile no one knows where this man is, if he indeed is in the US, or alive. One man has seemed to allude all of Southern California police, FBI, CIA, and probably DHS. One would think since he’s last known Employer was Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama we would hear something from the Navy or the White House. Instead Michelle “off the record, I love the new bangs” (Dorner’s Rambling part 2) was attending a young girl’s funeral service because she was shot “randomly” by a gun. Am I completely ignorant or is it true there hasn’t been one word of condemnation by the Administration (who was lauded by Christopher Dorner) regarding this man’s blood thirsty actions? I can’t seem to recollect any politician, especially Barack H. Obama, saying anything in terms of condolences to the families affected by the actions of Christopher Jordan Dorner. I’m sure it’s just an oversight on my part and there is an official statement of some sort by the White House, right?

With the State of the Union address 48 hours away I’m sure we’ll hear from Dorner, or Obama on Dorner, or Obama on Gun Control, or Dorner will be found with a self inflicted gun shot wound, or he’ll be terminated by those boys and girls in blue who are on high alert for him. Something has to happen.

**Update** 2-11-13

As I suspected and asserted the search for Christopher Dorner is being used to further Obama’s Administration’s agenda. A UK publication is reporting the use of DRONES in the search for Dorner.

“Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil. A senior police source said: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly leading the task force, said: “We are using all the tools at our disposal.” The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his rampage began. He said: “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That’s all I can say at the moment.” Source Here.
