Tin foil hats versus tin foil blinkers

[Risto the Great]

It would be nice to think the world is a safe place and hidden agendas and machinations do not exist. That things like the deep state with unelected people and organisations dictating policies in (supposedly) democratic nations do not exist. But numerous examples of absolute treachery keep coming to light and only someone who chooses to wear tin foil blinkers would not be thinking about the potential benefits of tin foil hats.

Covid has been an excellent example of complete treachery. Quite frankly, only a gullible fool would continue to take the vaccines at this point. Back when questions were being asked, and vocal (and informed) opponents to the agenda made it clear how dangerous this technology was, those voices were shut down and censored from the internet. Eminent scientists treated like crazy cowboys!

And here we are now where excess mortality rates around the world exist, myocarditis, cancers, blood clots, tumours and admissions about zero reductions in transmission are now facts.

Well, I thought we might start a thread about some "crazy" things that some people might not be aware of. I'm hoping we all participate and even the tin foil blinker brigade are welcome to add their blind scepticism to the proceedings.

The Secret Operation To Bring Nazi Scientists To America

In the fall of 1944, the United States and its allies launched a secret mission code-named Operation Paperclip. The aim was to find and preserve German weapons, including biological and chemical agents, but American scientific intelligence officers quickly realized the weapons themselves were not enough.

They decided the United States needed to bring the Nazi scientists themselves to the U.S. Thus began a mission to recruit top Nazi doctors, physicists and chemists — including Wernher von Braun, who went on to design the rockets that took man to the moon.

The U.S. government went to great lengths to hide the pasts of scientists they brought to America. Based on newly discovered documents, writer Annie Jacobsen tells the story of the mission and the scientists in her book, Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists To America.

On the origins of Operation Paperclip

It's just a few months after the landings at Normandy and you have Allied forces making their way across the continent, headed toward Berlin and Munich, and with them, sort of scattered among the soldiers, are these small teams of scientific intelligence officers. And they are searching for the Reich's weapons. And they don't know what they might find.

One example was they had no idea that Hitler had created this whole arsenal of nerve agents. They had no idea that Hitler was working on a bubonic plague weapon. That is really where Paperclip began, which was suddenly the Pentagon realizing, "Wait a minute, we need these weapons for ourselves."

On the U.S. government's efforts to mask the scientists' past

There began a propaganda campaign by the U.S. government to whitewash the pasts of these scientists who we very much knew were ardent Nazis. And it happened on a number of levels, from the bureaucrats in Army intelligence who were asked to sort of re-write the dossiers, on up to the generals in the Pentagon who flatly said we need these scientists, and we're going to have to re-write some history. And that's where it becomes very tricky and very nefarious.

You have to be a Nazi ideologue to move up that chain of command so high. It's almost like someone who is a hedge fund manager in the United States trying to take the line that they don't believe in capitalism, you know? That they're just trying to earn a living for their family. I mean, if you're going to rise to the top of your field, you maintain the party line and that is what I found was the case with Paperclip.

On Wernher von Braun's Nazi past

He is a great example, because you wonder where the deal with the devil really happened in terms of his whitewashed past — because the U.S. government, NASA in particular, was so complicit in keeping his past hidden.

In doing the research, one discovers that not only was von Braun a Nazi, but a member of the SS. And not only was he running the underground slave labor facility where his rockets were being built — he wasn't running the facility but he was in charge of the science there — but when they were running low of good technicians, Wernher von Braun himself traveled nearby to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where he hand-picked slaves to work for him as laborers.

When you see that kind of activity during the war, and you have to imagine what he saw and what he knew, it's impossible to excuse him from his Nazi past.

On the fates of the Nazi scientists

They all had different trajectories, but none of them seemed to have been held accountable for what happened and what they were involved in during the war. Dr. Benzinger, who was one of the Nazi doctors, came here, and when he died at the age of ninety-something he had a wonderful obituary in The New York Times lauding him for inventing the ear thermometer. Entirely left out of the story was the work that he performed on concentration camp prisoners.

Remember those heartwarming stories about Jews hunting down Nazis around the world? Making them pay for their evil? Well, that was a cool story.

What's publicly known about Operation Paperclip represents maybe 5% of the whole story. The Berlin Airlift wasn't about supplying Berlin, it was about getting the Germans and their tech out.

Five years ago, very few would have figured that yesterdays foil was today's reality.

Here's one for you Risto. The collapse of building 7 on 9/11. The reasons given were that it caught on fire as a result of falling debris from buildings 1 & 2 and that, coincidentally, the sprinklers lacked the necessary water pressure that day to extinguish the fire. I don't know about everyone else but that's good enough for me. Life is just so much easier and uncomplicated when you just accept the story they give you.

Burning jet fuel isn't the only thing that can compromise the structural integrity of steel beams & trusses. Apparently, so can falling hot debris.

[Risto the Great]

Let's not forget that all happened after 2 trillion dollars was "lost" the day before.

911 should probably get it's own forum!

Here's another 2 trillion:

If you know the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes," by Hans Christian Andersen, you understand the meaning of propaganda; a mass campaign of deception meant to cause people to act in certain ways. (Read it, if you haven't.)

As the story goes, the people were afraid to speak the truth in spite of an obvious fact because they were led to believe the truth was less important than the perception of a lie. The propaganda campaign in the story convinced the townspeople that if they dared to point out the truth of the naked Emperor, they were stupid and incompetent fools.

One day a young boy was brave enough to blurt out, "The Emperor has no clothes!" At that moment, the propaganda scheme was exposed. Truth set the people free. The story is a perfect allegory of mob psychology and how effective it is.

Sadly, most people don't want to be the lone voice in the wilderness shouting out the truth. They are afraid to speak up.

Fast forward to 1948. The era of the Cold War begins and the United States Congress along with the State Department set up Voice of America to send radio messages to the rest of the world. The messages could be biased information or disinformation, more commonly known as propaganda.

At the same time, in order to protect the American people from their own government, Congress passed the Smith-Mundt Act which prohibited our government from using our departments, agencies, and tax dollars to propagandize the American public.

Our media outlets were intended to be a "free press" as stated in the First Amendment. Smith-Mundt was designed to protect that right from our government. Without that protection, all manner of media can be usurped by political operatives within our government.

Fast forward again, this time to 2012. Under the Obama Administration Congress reversed the Smith-Mundt protections. They buried the "Smith-Mundt Modernization Act" into the National Defense Authorization Act which passed and was signed by Obama in 2013.

"Modernization" meant they dropped the propaganda protections and allowed government agencies and bureaucrats to create media "news" and opinion to feed to the American public. It is written in typical legalese convoluted language, but nonetheless creates a huge loophole for the State Department and the Board of Broadcast Governors to create and disseminate all the propaganda they want toward Americans using taxpayer funding.

Virus: Mob psychology

Fast forward once more to today. In the age of too much information, how is it that the mainstream news outlets are parroting the same exact talking points verbatim at the same times? You can't help but see it and hear it. It's coordinated.

So much news doesn't match the reality on the ground. And, so much news is now opinion rather than facts. Have the news agencies become the media arm of the government? Looks like it.

Is this mob psychology an operation that you dare not question? Looks like it.

Too many examples to cite, but probably the most glaring example of this propaganda machine would be the "Global Warming" hype. When that didn't become reality, they changed it to "Climate Change."

Within that idiocy, CO2 has been declared a threat to the planet, when in fact it is a trace gas and without it there would be zero plant life. We do exhale CO2, by the way. If I didn't know better, I'd think some purveyors of this propaganda have a personal agenda to kill the population. Ahem....

Today we have the media "yelling fire in a crowded theater," causing panic and promoting the entire shut down of our livelihoods and normal activities due to a virus that turns out to be no more lethal than the usual flu.

Hospitals were told to focus entirely on this coronavirus and close all other health related activities, including serious surgeries that people need. Hospitals are empty and furloughing medical personnel due to this "focus on this one virus" panic.

If I didn't know better, I'd think some purveyors of this information have a personal agenda to wreck the U.S. economy and completely co-opt our health care and decisions.

This time we have most definitely been had by a mass propaganda scheme gleefully delivered by the mainstream media. The tell is the reality on the ground.

There are around 10,500,000 people in NC. We have been told there are 314 deaths due to COVID19. That's .00299% of the population.

Use your eyes and ears and brains! Yes, I'm yelling this emperor has no clothes.

Like the boy in Andersen's story who bravely blurted out, "The Emperor has no clothes," it needs to be said here and now in America. "The propaganda is exposed!"

Repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act!

Washington, D.C., has been a member state of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) since 2015.

Please spare a thought for the oppressed and stateless people of Washington D.C.

Just like the Greeks of Albania was a member of the UNPO, Washington DC joined the international organisation to facilitate the voices of unrepresented and marginalised nations and peoples worldwide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrepr...s_Organization

The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization, or simply UNPO is an international organization established to facilitate the voices of unrepresented and marginalised nations and peoples worldwide. It was formed on 11 February 1991 in The Hague, Netherlands. Its members consist of indigenous peoples, minorities, and unrecognised or occupied territories.

UNPO works to develop the understanding of and respect for the right to self-determination, provides advice and support related to questions of international recognition and political autonomy, trains groups on how to advocate for their causes effectively, and directly advocates for an international response to human rights violations perpetrated against UNPO member groups.

AIMS:
UNPO's vision is to affirm democracy as a fundamental human right, implement human, civil and political rights worldwide, uphold the universal right to autonomy and self-determination, and further federalism. It encourages nonviolent methodologies to reach peaceful solutions to conflicts and oppression. UNPO supports members in getting their human and cultural rights respected and in preserving their environments. The organization provides a forum for members to network and assists them in participating at an international level.[8]

Although UNPO members often have different goals, they have one thing in common: they are generally not represented diplomatically (or only with a minor status, such as observer) in major international institutions, such as the United Nations (UN). As a result, their ability to have their concerns addressed by the global bodies mandated to protect human rights and address conflict is limited

My heart breaks for the stateless people of Washington D.C.

Makes me wonder why Macedonians of Greece and Bulgaria are not members.
