10 False Flags "Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel..." - Where are the citizenry? "Dumbed down by the elite!"
One hundred and forty-five years later, President Eisenhower echoed Jefferson’s fear when he left office in 1961:
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
10 False Flags that Changed the World
 | At it’s simplest, the term false flag means pretending to be the enemy.The name comes from ships and armies that, in previous centuries, deceived their foes by displaying another country’s flag. These days, false flag activities are much more sophisticated…and debauched. These aren’t your granddaddy’s covert operations. |
Fake Terror, Deception, and Disgrace
The most commonly known false flag operations consist of an intelligence agency staging a terror attack such that an uninvolved entity gets blamed for the carnage.
Another type of false flag operation might consist of directing purposefully belligerent and trigger-happy clandestine demonstrators to mingle with peace activists in order to disrupt and discredit a passive protest event.
Yet another type of false flag activity consists of infiltrating the opposition, then making easily disproved claims which will embarrass and undermine the credibility of the organization.
An Ignorant Public Enables False Flags
 | When the Constitutional Convention closed in 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?”Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.” Why did our forefathers think the Republic would be so hard to keep? |
What foreign threat did they envisage as the United States’ most deadly enemy? Actually, the founding fathers believed one of our biggest enemies would rise from within: apathetic ignorance.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
One hundred and forty-five years later, President Eisenhower echoed Jefferson’s fear when he left office in 1961:

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Endless War
| Unfortunately, security and liberty were nearing death in the greedy clutch of corporate fascism by the time Eisenhower spoke those words. The world’s largest industrial military machine already needed unending war to feed the nation’s economy, and line the pockets of the war profiteers.False flag operations, with healthy doses of propaganda and ignorance, provided a great recipe for endless war. |  |
Two-time Medal of Honor recipient Major General Smedley Butler explains the situation better than I can. From his book, War is a Racket:
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
False Flag Greatest Hits
And that’s where we stand today…much of the population still apathetically ignorant, if not from lack of desire to educate themselves, then by state secrets privilege and a main stream media that buries truth beneath an avalanche of corporate-advertiser-approved garbage. But as the pendulum swings out of control, the population does seem to be waking up.
So, while the world impotently waits for the next false flag…one that will likely have the remaining uninformed masses proposing a nuclear attack on Iran, let’s reminisce and countdown 10 False Flags that Changed the World. Number 10 on the list is…

Afghan Drug Distributor Gets Life... IMHO Obama will pardon him within a few years.
NEW YORK — A once-powerful Afghan tribal leader was sentenced to life in prison today by an American judge who said his heroin smuggling overshadowed his claims that he tried to help the U.S. rebuild his country.
Bashir Noorzai, 45, was ordered by U.S. District Judge Denny Chin to spend life in prison and pay a $25,000 fine for smuggling $50 million worth of heroin into the United States. He was convicted by a jury in September of conspiring to import, manufacture and distribute heroin.
Prosecutors said Noorzai before his 2005 arrest had been designated by the U.S. as one of the most powerful and dangerous narcotics traffickers in the world. They said Noorzai’s drug conspiracy had used narcotics proceeds to help arm the Taliban.
Prosecutors said Noorzai met Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar in the 1980s while fighting the Soviet Union and used his influence in Kandahar in the mid-1990s to help Omar secure the position of supreme leader of the Taliban.
They said Noorzai, at Omar’s request, provided the Taliban with 400 of his own fighters in 2001 to fight the Northern Alliance after the U.S. began military operations in Afghanistan.
Chin rejected defense arguments that Noorzai should be judged more leniently because crops used to produce heroin are commonly grown in Afghanistan and are viewed differently in the United States. He noted that virtually all U.S. heroin comes from abroad.
He also highlighted defense claims that Noorzai was tricked into coming to the United States for high-level government talks about helping Afghanistan, only to be arrested.
"The circumstances of his coming to the United States were unusual, to say the least," Chin said.
Speaking through an interpreter, Noorzai said the new U.S. tactic of trying to bring peace to Afghanistan by working with moderate members of the Taliban was the same policy he had urged in talks with U.S. authorities after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Prosecutors say Noorzai was so influential in his homeland that he formed his own army and teamed up with the Taliban, even as he presided over a heroin empire involving some of his tribe, a million people in southern and western Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.
He was arrested in 2005 after he agreed to come to the United States to speak with U.S. government officials directly. Instead, he was interviewed by investigators for 11 days at a hotel near the World Trade Center site and then arrested.
"When I came to the United States, my motive was to go back to help my country to bring peace and stability to my country, to give Afghanistan a better life," Noorzai told Chin.
He said he could prove that he rounded up 3,000 weapons from his people after the Sept. 11 attacks and turned them over to the U.S. military.
His lawyer, Ivan Fisher, said the U.S. reneged on promises made overseas to Noorzai that he could safely leave the United States, even after Noorzai fully cooperated with U.S. authorities. He said Noorzai would have persuaded his people to grow other crops in return for U.S. help in rebuilding Afghanistan.
"All he wanted to do was help us," Fisher said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anirudh Bansal said Noorzai tried to increase his power by cooperating with ruling authorities and in 2002 had called the United States "my enemy."
He said Noorzai was a man who had brought "harm to people all over the world by flooding it with his incredibly addictive poison."
The judge said Noorzai knew the heroin his tribe produced was being shipped to places like the United States, where it harmed many people.
Acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said in a statement that Noorzai’s worldwide narcotics network, which included distributors in New York City early as 1990, "supported a Taliban regime that made Afghanistan a breeding ground for international terrorism."

The Monsanto Connection
Posted by sakerfa on April 27, 2009
Monsanto is one of the most powerful multi-national corporations in the world. The Global One-World Government New World Order conspiracy, of which Monsanto is a part, is aimed at controlling millions via the food they eat. “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people,” said Henry Kissinger in 1970.
_______
I recently published an article “Grandmother Scores Huge Victory over Monsanto”.
The article was a magnet for controversy because I claimed the best way to fight Monsanto and HR 875 was by growing your own food and saving seeds.
Linn Cohen-Cole, the libertarian grandmother at the forefront of the anti-HR 875 campaign called me “dangerous” for fostering complacency by encouraging readers to grow their own food instead of send e-mails and faxes…that no one reads.
The Cornucopia Institute and the Organic Consumers Association has already assured organic advocates that HR 875, the Food Safety and Modernization Act, is only “trying to improve the safety of food products derived from large industrial processing facilities and does not intend to trample organic farmers, backyard gardeners or consumers of fresh local foods.”
Following the April 3 Cornucopia press release, “Family Farmers Fear Being Run over by Food Safety Juggernaut,” organic food activists received a mass e-mail exposing the role of Linn Cole in spreading disinformation about HR 875:
- Subject: RETRACTION: URGENT! Monsanto Bill to Ban Organic Food:
- “Monsanto, or one of their proxy groups, is actually feeding libertarian groups disinformation on this bill.
- The bill doesn’t ban organic. When you make that misinformed, but well-intentioned call to your Congressman, you are doing exactly what Monsanto wants—coming across as an ill-informed and hysterical extremist. Monsanto is making a last-ditch effort in this PR war, but they have already really lost it.”
Monsanto lost it because 43 million Americans, including First Lady Michelle Obama, have risked going to jail for growing their own food!
This will help you understand what really happened:
- 1. Monsanto is one of the most powerful multi-national corporations in the world. The Global One-World Government New World Order conspiracy, of which Monsanto is a part, is aimed at controlling millions via the food they eat. “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people,” said Henry Kissinger in 1970.
2. Monsanto uses overt and covert strategies to accomplish their goals. Monsanto is behind both sides of the battle over HR 875. They don’t leave important matters like these to chance.
3. Monsanto’s tentacles reach into every aspect of our society: government, private industry, the military, law enforcement and, of course, agriculture. Large, small, organic and non-organic farmers—and don’t forget libertarian grass roots activists—are all influenced directly and indirectly by Monsanto. The company that rose to power in the 20th century as a leading chemical giant now focuses on agriculture. In Monsanto’s world, there is no room for the family farmer. The company’s well-known corporate bullying tactics have made this clear. Just ask Percy Schmeiser, the brave Canola farmer who dared to take on Monsanto.
4. HR 875’s vague wording was intentional.
5. Family Farmers (organic and non-organic) are under attack, but not by Congresswoman DeLauro, the author of HR 875 whose husband was a political consultant to Monsanto 10 years ago.
6. The timing of HR 875 coincides with the slow food, Locavore, and urban gardening movements in the United States and, for that matter, any slow food movement anywhere in the world.
7. The E-coli and salmonella outbreaks related to spinach, tomatoes and peanuts are the work of Monsanto’s agents: Things don’t happen; they’re made to happen.
8. Healthy Family Farm owner Sharon Palmer was arrested for selling raw goat milk, and the Ohio food co-op raided Gestapo-style was obviously instigated by Monsanto agents in a move designed to intimidate urban gardeners.
It doesn’t matter if libertarian grandmother Linn Cohen-Cole, or Paul, a farmer from Wisconsin, were accidental dupes or knowing agents of Monsanto’s disinformation campaign. It only matters that the disinformation campaign was discovered before it wounded the health freedom movement.
Spreading misinformation, misleading or outright false information is not the way to defeat “food safety” legislation, because when you make that misinformed but well-intentioned call to your Congressman, you are doing exactly what Monsanto wants—coming across as an ill-informed and hysterical extremist.
The very clear and present danger is that our “unelected representatives” will be forced to sit down and actually read HR 875. But when they do, they won’t find a ban on heirloom seeds, farmers markets or backyard gardening, because it isn’t there. Does anyone think Monsanto would actually put in writing that we are going to arrest Michelle Obama for planting a garden?
If they did, our representatives wouldn’t need a flood of frantic messages hollering that HR 875 is the bill that will “kill all farms and eat your babies.” No, believe it or not, our representatives eat and go to farmers markets just like we do.
So who is behind this disinformation campaign?
The Natural Solutions Foundation (NSF) originated the Linn Cole articles.
The Organic Consumers Association and other legitimate heath advocates have been questioning the NSF for several years, and the criticism is universally the same: Why does the NSF keep turning out factually inaccurate, hysterically grim articles such as Linn Cole’s?
The answers start with the NSF founders, husband-wife team Albert Stubblebine and Rima Laibow. Now, when I accuse these people of being disinformation professionals, let me explain. I’m not saying they’re doing sloppy research, and I’m not saying they’re being overzealous. What I am saying is that they are working, for pay, to spread false information and to make their organization look like a legitimate activist group.
My conclusion is Stubblebine and Laibow are using the Natural Solutions Foundation—and Linn Cole—to undermine the health freedom community by spreading disinformation about HR 875.
Stubblebine is a retired U.S. Army major general who designed AEGIS, “a major Homeland Security private initiative.” Given this background and his ties to the U.S. intelligence community, eyebrows were raised in the health freedom community in early 2005 when, along with Laibow, Stubblebine launched the NSF website and began to promote his wife as an expert on Codex Alimentarius, the commission working to adopt strict new guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements.
Dr. Rath, founder of the 4.dr-rath-foundation, a legitimate health advocacy group, and the author of “A Modern Major General Exposed?” writes: “It quickly became apparent to experienced health freedom observers that Stubblebine either hadn’t done his homework properly, or that he and Laibow were intentionally spreading inaccurate and misleading material about Codex and other related dietary supplement issues via their website and press releases.
Moreover, despite repeated concerns being expressed by more experienced health freedom observers, Stubblebine and Laibow continued to disseminate this material, and pointedly ignored requests to remove it from their website.”
In my “Scared to CodeX Death” article, I refer to Dr. Rima Laibow when I write: “And although the effects of Codex are devastating and will result in humans dying from starvation and preventable diseases from under-nutrition, any claims that WHO or FAO have released epidemiological projections are untrue.”
Dr. Rima Laibow, to the consternation of those fighting Codex, is the source of the untrue claims about the “epidemiological projections” in her YouTube video “Codex Alimentarious & Nutricide.”
The NSF pair want to discredit HR 875, because when the cleverly worded HR 875 finally goes to committee, Monsanto will unleash a massive PR campaign aimed at, guess who? Linn Cohen-Cole and the other lefties who, according to Monsanto, are spreading false and misleading information about an innocent food safety bill.
Later, the headlines such as “HR 875 doesn’t criminalize small agriculture” will warn the population about health freedom activists who, by spreading misinformation, are threatening our food safety and free speech. Then, HR 875 and the real threat, HR 859, are passed without fanfare.
End of story.
And when the son of HR 875 is born, the one that really makes it illegal to grow your own food and have a garden, activists will gear up for another war, but it will be too late.
The battle cry from Monsanto will be heard loud and clear:
“Remember HR 875! Don’t listen to these reactionaries. They will do anything to cast Monsanto as the Agent Orange-eyed monster. Vote here.”
And the epitaph will be written: “The Grandmother Who Cried Wolf”
So if you want to fight Monsanto, take up your hoes and join the 43 million urban gardeners at www.pathtofreedom.com.
You see, what Monsanto is really afraid of is that we are starting to cooperate with each other and grow our own food. It’s called the Power of Community.
