LETTERS

DEAR ALEX,
I laughed when seeing the most
recent cover of the magazine.
Turned to my wife and said what
do you think, Mad Magazine?
The picture conveyed an Alfred
E. Nueman look. So a suggestion, do a split face of Nueman
and Obama, lies on one side
and the truth on the other. The
truth with the Neuman side? Its
a Mad Mad O. Enjoy the magazine, broadcasts and news show.
You have had a lot of changes
over the years (16+), do miss
some of the people, looking
forward to more as you continue to grow and get the news
out. Im looking forward to the
possibility of seeing Alex Jones
or another Infowars reporter
getting the opportunity to ask
the hard-hitting questions at the
White House.
Dan E.

While our Infowars reporters were in California


investigating the surging
radiation levels being
reported along the west
coast, they were recognized by two fellow liberty
lovers. As seen here one of
them was coincidentally
sporting an Infowars.com

OVERVIEW

WRITTEN BY: ALEX JONES

n any civilization, the police


will simply be a reflection of the
general society.
As our country grows more
authoritarian, and we sink into
deeper levels of corruption, these
traits will manifest in the police.
Because we are turning from a
true free market economy into
a command and control, crony
capitalist,
insider, gangster
economy, worldwide monopolistic and anti-free market corporate interests are attempting
to militarize police and turn
them into domestic armies to
suppress populations.
Police do incredibly good
things all the time, whether its
helping an old lady change her
tires, or going into a burning
house with firefighters to save a
child. The mere fact that a police
officer gets in the news for doing
something truly good and showing their human side shows that

people are hungry for police to


not operate as federally or internationally controlled robots, but
as human beings.
The global elite are bringing
in a planetary standard for law
enforcement as corporate political enforcers to suppress basic
liberties and we the peoples right
to restore our once sovereign
nations back to free countries.
In this edition of Infowars
Magazine, we will break down
the militarization of police,
how theyve been brainwashed
to fear the public, and how the
public in response has acquired
a fear of the police.
This provocation of citizens
versus police is exactly what
the social engineers want; an
us against them balkanization
divide and conquer, instead
of free humanity coming
together around the Bill of
Rights and Constitution.

Future Cop Says Protesters Should Be Exterminated in Gas Chambers


WRITTEN BY: PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

I Would Beat Your F***Ing Ass Just For The Sheer Joy Of It

arren Redding claims


a friend used his Facebook account while at
his home to post the
threatening
message.
The Washoe County Sheriffs Department says that no Darren Redding
is associated with them, although
the Department has not indicated
whether Reddings friend who made
the post is a trainee with them or not.
The Sheriffs Department originally
claimed that Reddings account was
hacked but Redding admits that one
of his friends used the account while
visiting his home. The identity of the
person who made the post and if they
are connected with the police department needs to be ascertained.
A man claiming to be a trainee sheriffs deputy posted a threatening Facebook message aimed at Cop Block, an
organization which advocates filming
police officers, in which the soon to
be cop said that protesters should be
exterminated in gas chambers and
that he would beat them up just for
the sheer joy of it.
While its rare that we receive direct
death threats, they must be taken

14

seriously, especially when they come


from someone with military training and is about to become a law
enforcement agent / sheriff, states
a post on the official CopBlock Facebook page.
According to CopBlock, the threats
were made by Darren Redding, a
former U.S. Marine who claims to
be a current cadet in training with
the Washoe County Sheriffs Department. Reddings Facebook page has
now been deleted, but the messages
sent to CopBlock have been captured
and saved.
If I had my way, there would be
another holocaust with camps and
gas chambers full of f***ing c**t
scabs like you, I hope you die,
stated Redding, adding, I hope
some cop beats your ass next time
youre protesting or filming them
or whatever. In fact Im about to
start the training academy for the
Washoe County Sheriffs Dept in
Reno, Nevada and I cant wait to
deal with punk ass bi***es like you.
I would beat your f***ing ass just
for the sheer joy of it.
If you were a law-abiding citizen

COP BLOCK
RESPONDED TO
THE THREATS BY
INVITING PEOPLE
TO CONTACT THE
WASHOE COUNTY
SHERIFFS OFFICE
AND SUGGEST THAT
THEY REFRAIN
FROM HIRING
SOMEONE WHO HAS
EXPRESSED A DESIRE
TO SEE PEOPLE WHO
EXERCISE THEIR
RIGHTS GASSED IN
CONCENTRATION
CAMPS.

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

you wouldnt have any problem with 5-0, but


something tells me you were probably being a
jackass towards a police officer and you got what
was coming to you and that inspired you to make
a page giving a bad name to all law enforcement,
stated Redding, complaining about one of Cop
Blocks posts. Redding claims a friend used his
Facebook account while at his home to post the
threatening message.
The Washoe County Sheriffs Office first
responded by claiming Reddings Facebook page
had been hacked, but then distanced themselves
from him altogether, asserting he was not in training with them.
They also claim that no Darren Redding is associated with them, although the Department has
not indicated whether Reddings friend who made
the post is a trainee with them or not. The Sheriffs Department originally claimed that Reddings
account was hacked but Redding admits that
one of his friends used the account while visiting
his home. The identity of the person who made
the post and if they are connected with the police
department needs to be ascertained.
Cop Block responded to the threats by inviting
people to contact the Washoe County Sheriff s
Office and suggest that they refrain from hiring
someone who has expressed a desire to see
people who exercise their rights gassed in concentration camps.
Hundreds of other Facebook users responded in
the comments section, with one former US Army
Ranger stating that Redding should not be allowed
to become a police officer.
The numbers of the sheriffs office where he
plans to apply should be given out as well as emails
for everyone to write to so that this does not just
fall through the cracks and be forgotten about,
remarked Kevin Warrick. The last thing we need is
another out of control officer that will take a dump
on peoples rights (or worse).
While the vast majority of police officers do not
espouse such extreme views, this is another example of how a minority of law enforcement personnel, especially those who have served in Iraq and
Afghanistan, are now entering the police force
with total hostility towards the American people
and complete contempt for the Bill of Rights.
Screenshots of the original message Cop Block
says they received from Darren Redding can be
viewed to the left.

Utah Police Obtain Grenade


Launchers, Riot Gear From Feds
Like Fema, Local Police Are Also Preparing For
Mass Panic

olice departments across


Utah have been receiving
surplus military gear wellsuited for riot control, such
as grenade launchers and armored
vehicles, through a U.S. Department
of Defense program that is far more
prevalent than what was previously known, according to recently
released documents.
For the past five years, the Pentagon
has equipped dozens of Utah police
departments with a wide variety of
military equipment commonly used
in riot response such as the aforementioned grenade launchers, M14s, M16s
and mine-resistant ambush protected
(MRAP) vehicles through the Excess
Property 1033 Program, the Salt Lake
Tribune reported.
In total, over 2,240 pieces of military
equipment valued at nearly $3 million
have been sent to Utah since 2009,
an amount far more staggering than
what was revealed before.
Several of the sheriffs indicated that
the equipment would only be used in
worst-case scenarios.
Are they absolutely necessary?
Well, you never know, Wasatch

16

County Sheriff Todd Bonner said.


Its good to be prepared.
Iron Co. Sheriff Mark Gower also
said that his departments MRAP will
only be used in very, very limited
situations where we anticipate the
possibility of someone shooting at us.
Another sheriff, Lynn Yeates with
Box Elder Co., stated that his departments grenade launchers will be used
to fire non-lethal rounds, which are
commonly deployed in riot response.
It is no coincidence that the Pentagon is purposely equipping these
departments with military gear for
civil unrest.
Currently, America is in worse shape
economically than it was prior to the
2008 financial crisis. For one thing,
Americas manufacturing might has
disappeared due to the myriad of government regulations.
To satisfy consumer demand in spite
of this, the U.S. has relied on foreign
demand for the dollar as the worlds

reserve currency, which has ensured
that countries around the world
would accept fiat dollars for their
manufactured goods.
But eventually, as the Federal
Reserve continues to create more
dollars, the value of the already weak

dollar will decline to the point where


foreign countries will no longer accept
them for their goods, destroying the
American economy as it finally sinks
under its heavy trade deficit.
The Feds only response to this and
the still lingering recession is to print
even more dollars.On top of the trillions in dollars already printed thus
far, the Fed continues quantitative
easing to the tune of about $80 billion
per month, Marc Slavo wrote on the
subject. Its the only arrow left in the
Feds quiver, because failing to inject
these billions into stock markets and
banks will lead to an almost instant
collapse of the U.S. financial system.
Unfortunately, the current strategy
is chock full of its own pitfalls, the least
of which being the real possibility of a
hyper-inflationary environment developing over coming months and years.
In essence, by propping up the
U.S. house of cards economy with
the current round of quantitative
easing, the Fed is only advancing the
collapse of the dollar and the mass
chaos that will ensue.
Other federal agencies are also
making preparations for this mass
rioting and panic.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency is currently looking for contractors that can collect and remove
bio-medical waste during national
emergencies, as reported earlier by
Paul Joseph Watson.
Previously, FEMA unsuccessfully
sought a contractor that could
supply 100,000 medical scrubs to
be delivered to 1,000 make-shift
tent hospitals within 48 hours of a
declared emergency.
Last fall, FEMAs parent agency,
the Department of Homeland Security, spent $500,000 on automatic
pepper spray launchers complete with
240,000 projectiles.
The government knows that a collapse is coming.

Texas Cop Caught Handing


Homeless Man Boots
Another Officer Goes Above and
Beyond the Call of Duty
Last month, another Texas police
officer was caught red-handed perpetrating a selfless act of kindness.
Unbeknownst to him, Odessa Police
Department Cpl. Jeremy Walsh was
photographed from inside a nearby
restaurant getting friendly with a
homeless man.
Walsh was familiar with the man,
referred to as A.J., and knew he was
badly in need of shoes.
As the corporal had boots at home
he didnt need, he thought up a
better, more humanitarian use for
them.
I had some extra boots at my
house and theyre actually a size
too small and I found A.J. and saw
if he wanted them, Walsh said,
according to the Odessa American.
I figured he could use them a lot
more than I can.
It seemed like the right thing to
do, Cpl. Walsh told KWES. I had
something that somebody else
needed that I didnt need.
Two weeks later, the photo of
him handing the boots and a water
bottle to A.J. appeared on the City
of Odessas Facebook page, and Cpl.
Walsh suddenly found hed become
somewhat of a celebrity.
Ive had a lot of supportive com-

18

ments and pats on the back from the


guys, Walsh recalled. Transients
or homeless people, theyre still
people. If I can help him or anyone
else, I can and I will.
Cpl. Walshs story is yet another
reminder that not all police officers
are of the crazed, lunatic brute-cop
goon-squad persuasion, and that
many times officers go above and
beyond what is required in their
normal lines of duty to actually help
people.
Last month, Infowars also ran a
story regarding a video that featured
Rosenberg, Texas Sgt. Ariel Soltura
parking his cruiser to interact with
a child. In the video, an observably
lonely boy is noticed tossing up a
football, seemingly waiting for a
companion. Sgt. Soltura steps out of
his vehicle, then proceeds to toss the
football back and forth with the boy.
Cpl. Walshs tale also brings to
mind a story we covered back in
November 2012 in which an NYPD
officer was also caught committing
a selfless act of kindness.
On that cold night, the officer was
also unknowingly caught handing a
homeless man a pair of $75 Skechers he had just purchased.
Readers will undoubtedly question

WRITTEN BY: ADAN SALAZAR

the authenticity of such events,


especially as these types of stories
seemingly occur with such infrequency. But whatever spurred these
random acts of goodwill, we truly
hope more are forthcoming.
While reports on good cops are virtually on par with Sasquatch sightings, theyre a welcomed departure
from the day-to-day police horror
stories Americans are all too tired of
enduring.

Officer Friendly vs. The Police State


The Federal Takeover of Local Law Enforcement

n cities and towns across America there is a disturbing trend:


police are indistinguishable
from combat troops. This trend
is incentivized and financed by
the federal government. The
Pentagon, through its 1033 program, is
donating military hardware designed
for war to law enforcement agencies.
The Department of Homeland Security also plays an instrumental role in
this transformation as it nudges police
departments away from domestic law
enforcement and community service
and converts local cops into counterterrorism and intelligence partners
aligned with the federal government
and the national security state.
Thousands of police departments
around the country are amassing huge
stockpiles of military-grade weapons
under a federal program that has distributed more than $35 billion in federal grants since September 11, 2001.
The buying spree has transformed
local police departments into small,
army-like forces, and put intimidating
equipment into the hands of civilian officers, writes Andrew Becker.
Increasingly, these small armies of
heavily armed cops are falling under
the control of the federal government.
They are no longer under the purview
or control of local municipalities.
In addition to creeping federal
control of local police, public-private
relationships, in essence fascist business arrangements, are blurring the
distinction between private security
company operations and public-fi-

20

nanced law enforcement. Through


COPS (Community Oriented Policing
Services) and other programs, the
Justice Department is forging private
security and law enforcement partnerships. Since the 1980s, private
security firms have outnumbered
police officers. They have lobbied
state legislatures to broaden their
jurisdiction, an effort supported
by the Justice Department and the
Department of Homeland Security.
Since the attacks of September 11,
2001, law enforcement-private security partnerships have been viewed as
critical to preventing terrorism. Local
law enforcement and private security
organizations working together is
vitally important to homeland security, the DOJs Office of Justice Programs states in a white paper released
in September, 2005.
In news releases and similar propaganda, the Department of Homeland
Security states that the federal government is merely helping cash-strapped
local police face the challenges of
terrorism and crime.
Financial grants earmarked for
improving homeland security arent
the only DHS carrot, enticing cashstrapped police departments to subject
themselves to federal management,
writes Joe Wolverton for The New
American. DHS also uses the establishment of buffer zones and fusion
centers to accomplish its surreptitious
seizure of police forces.
Fusion centers created jointly by
the Justice Department and the

Department of Homeland Security


now coordinate the activities of
these public-private law enforcement and security relationships.
They are designed to facilitate information sharing between the federal
government, including the FBI and
the CIA, and local law enforcement.
A two year Senate investigation,
however, revealed that fusion
centers often produced irrelevant,
useless or inappropriate intelligence reporting to DHS, and many
produced no intelligence reporting
whatsoever and consistently violate civil liberties and privacy.
Documents produced by the Missouri Information Analysis Center
(MIAC) reveal fusion centers are not
interested in domestic terrorism so
much as keeping tabs on the establishments political opposition. In 2009,
Infowars.com reported how the MIAC
portrayed political candidates Ron
Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr as
domestic terrorists.
Last year, the DBA Press and the
Center for Media and Democracy
produced a report showing how
fusion centers and the governments
purported counter terror apparatus
was employed to destroy the Occupy
Wall Street movement. Put simply,
the report states, heavily-funded
municipal, county, state and federal
counter-terrorism agencies (often
acting in concert through state/
regional fusion centers) view citizens engaged in movements of political and social dissent, such as Occupy

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

Wall Street, as nothing less than


nascent, if not bona fide, terrorist
threats. The report revealed how
the effort to undermine the Occupy
movement was carried out on
behalf of, and in cooperation with,
some of the nations largest financial
and corporate intereststhe very
entities that the Occupy Wall Street
(OWS) movement and others oppose
as usurpers of American democracy.
More than a decade of propaganda
disseminated by the federal government has accomplished the goal
of converting law enforcement and
emergency personnel into police
state functionaries no longer capable
of questioning the role they play. In
none of these instances, underscored by the DPA Press report cited
above, did any agent of the nations
counter terrorism apparatus question
whether they were crossing a line of
demarcation between appropriate law
enforcement/public safety activity,
and something much darker, notes
Beau Hodai. After all, these records
do indicate that we, as a nation, have
taken our first steps down the road
that these citizens clearly fear.
Under the homeland security and
fusion center model, terrorism,
crime and dissent are now inseparable. In 2013, Thomas Kirk, the
director of a fusion center in West
Virginia, told his colleagues at the
Homeland Security Policy Institute
in Washington how fusion centers,
initially established a tool in the war
on terrorism, are used by police for
domestic crime and other duties not
associated with crime.
Initially, fusion centers were
intended to be intelligence sharing
partnerships between municipal,
county, state, tribal and federal law
enforcement/counter
terrorism
agencies, dedicated solely to the dissemination/sharing of terrorism-related intelligence, writes Hodai for
PR Watch. However, shortly follow-

Militarized cops and the transformation


of Officer Friendly into a combat soldier
is about the process of intimidating
the American people as the economy
disintegrates and increasing numbers of
people rise up to protest the economic war
the ruling elite are waging not only in
America, but across the world.

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

21

ing the creation of fusion centers,


their focus shifted from this exclusive
interest in terrorism, to one of all
hazards -- an umbrella term used to
describe virtually anything (including terrorism) that may be deemed
a hazard to the public, or to certain
private sector interests. And, as has
been mandated through a series of
federal legislative actions and presidential executive orders, fusion centers (and the counter terrorism entities that they are comprised of) work
- in ever closer proximity with private
corporations, with the stated aim of
protecting items deemed to be critical infrastructure/key resources.
Officer Friendly, a public relations
campaign used from the 1960s
through the 1980s to acquaint children and young adults with law
enforcement officials, is no longer
relevant. Police officers, while often
members of the community where
they serve, answer to federal officials
and work for the national security
state, including the Pentagon and
the CIA. Military and federal agencies have converted community law
enforcement into an increasingly dangerous as escalating police violence
and a staggering death toll of citizens
reveal and heavily armed paramilitary force. Police are employed to
monitor and discourage legal dissent
under a largely fictional and exaggerated rubric of fighting terrorism.
This is not coincidental. Although
crime rates have fallen consistently
over the last decade and the overall
prison population is in decline, the
number of police and the militarization of their ranks continues to rise.
More Americans are crushed to death
by their televisions or furniture each
year than killed by al-Qaeda or, for
that matter, any other stripe of terrorist, domestic or foreign. Federal agencies do not spend billions of dollars

22

each year warning Americans about


the danger of their televisions or far
more potent killers such as prescription drugs or automobile accidents.
Police and domestic security are
now frontline troops in a war against
dissent and the real terrorists according to the ruling elite the American
people, especially Americans opposed
to endless war, the expansion of the
national security state, and the slow
motion degradation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Militarized cops with M16 assault rifles,
grenades, armored vehicles including
tanks, laser range finders and sniper
rifles are not about fighting al-Qaeda
or the occasional meth dealer armed
with a MAC-10.
Militarized cops and the transformation of Officer Friendly into a combat
soldier is about the process of intimidating the American people as the
economy disintegrates and increasing
numbers of people rise up to protest
the economic war the ruling elite
are waging not only in America, but
across the world.
Edward Snowdens revelations
about the NSA add further dimension to the fact the government has
erected a fantastic high-tech surveillance apparatus. It is not designed to
monitor Facebook and your iPhone
for the remote possibility of al-Qaeda
or terrorist activity. It is in place to
ensure the ruling elites monopoly
on power. It functions as a warning
system to eradicate any and all effective dissent and the possibility of
meaningful reform.
Officer Friendly is now a Gestapo
agent and a storm trooper. If the
American people are going to turn
back the fascist takeover of America
and restore the constitutional republic
the founders long ago envisioned, the
process of getting the cops back on
our side will be essential.

Despite Lack of Coverage, Good


Cops Are Out There.. Seriously
Good Cop Scenarios Play Out All The Time, But Without
Media Attention To Amplify Them, No One Would Really Know
With tales depicting virtuous,
humanitarian cops rarely making
headlines, its easy to get jaded to the
whole cops are your friend line.
No doubt the deluge of police brutality videos on tap 24/7 can serve
to reinforce that negative perception,
and personal experiences often play
some role in souring people to the
boys in blue.
But as much as it seems as though
some seedy, power-tripping egomaniac inhabits every cruiser, like all
other things, it is unfair to broadbrush characterize the entire lot.

Cops Should Follow


the Rule of 10
A cop that does the right thing is
rare.. but statistically that cant be
correct. While endless stories of police
corruption going back to antiquity can
certainly make it feel that way, good
cops are also out there balancing the
scales, working to sustain the equilibrium between misconduct and honor.
Unfortunately, these noble public
servants dont often receive the praise
they deserve. Any and all media attention is reserved for the guys that killed
that homeless man, or the guy that
shot that kid with the toy gun, or the
guy that pulled those ladies over and
strip searched them.
But freak occurrences can sometimes
surface.
In January, for instance, a stirring

24

dash-cam video emerged featuring


Sgt. Ariel Soltura, a Texas police sergeant who stopped his vehicle to toss
around a football with a noticeably
lonely boy.
This scenario may have played out
a hundred times before, but without
media attention to amplify it, no one
would really know (if a cop throws a
football in the woods and no one is
around to hear it..). But through the
media lens and with the help of the
Internet, the Texas sergeants act of
compassion was magnified.
This relates somewhat to a smart
business strategy. Customer service
workers are taught the customer is
always right. In theory, one unhappy
customer could tell 10 friends about
their bad service, each of whom would
tell 10 friends and so on until the
business sank. This is loosely referred
to as the Rule of 10.
The principle could apply to police
work. A video of a cop beating the
living daylights out of a jaywalker
would typically make many people
upset, and would thus go viral much
faster. But feel-good videos about
cops that help catch burglars terrorizing neighborhoods either do not exist,
or go unnoticed or underreported.
And as previously mentioned there is
no shortage of police brutality videos,
but like I said, freak occurrences do
sometimes happen.
The idea or solution, of course, is to

avoid any and all bad publicity simply


by treating every customer, or citizen,
with respect, dignity and honor, which
should appropriately be reciprocated.

Bad Apples can spoil


the bunch
Another reason bad cops get all the
attention is because the journalists
who have to report their atrocious
acts are generally, and aptly, filled
with genuine disgust.
These are the people entrusted to
protect and defend our livelihoods.
From childhood, they are held up as
model citizens, the very epitome of
what is expected of every American.
So when that trust is violated, they
fall hard and they make headlines,
and rightly so. And they can bring
entire departments down with them.
But the first line youll always hear
is, that was just a bad apple. Again,
statistically speaking, chances are
thats not correct.
When dealing with a rogue officer, a
Police Chief is always faced with the
very real prospect the behavior could
be systemic. In that case, getting rid
of one bad apple wont have much
of an effect.
But the bunch can also easily be
saved. Everyday each officer is presented with the option to let a bad
apples bad behavior influence his
own. He can choose to mimic that
behavior or pursue whats right. While

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

being a snitch is universally frowned


upon, certain circumstances demand
certain courses of action, even if that
means being cast out of the group
(encouragement easily enough given
by me as I sat safely behind my keyboard).
That both good and bad cop can
exist within the same person should
also be considered.

Hatred is a Learned
Response
The truth is the hatred of police is a
learned response.
If you are one of the millions of
Americans who have come to regard
police with an overwhelming sense of
dread, you have likely been traumatized by the police state in one way or
another.
Perhaps you were arrested, or
accused of something you didnt do,
or maybe you saw someone or know
someone. Regardless of how that
fear instilled itself, it was a learned
response.
But, for the boy who saw the police
car pull up, and the pleasant policeman step out and motion to throw

the ball, the memory of an incredible


encounter with a public servant will
forever shape how he views police.
And like the title says, they really are
out there, seriously. Just look at some
of the comments from police in regards
to Sgt. Solturas football video, copied
over from the PoliceOne.com website:
- We are not Robocops, we are
human. Nice to see that side shown
from time to time.. Not everyone is
the enemy, but be prepared for those
who are. Good Job.
- Our chief encourages us to do
exactly what we see here. Its not
unusual at all for us to stop and shoot
a few hoops, play some catch or throw
a football around for a little while.
The kids like it and if it can help us
turn even one around, it was worth it.
Great job Sgt. Soltura!!
- Many of us have done the same
but did not have a camera or really
did not want one. It was fun first and
good PR was a distant second.
- Good job Sgt.! That is what its
all about Brother, everyone else. If
we never slow down to address the
simple stuff, we become hyper-vigilant and lose sight of why we chose

this profession in the first place. Outstanding.


- Police Officers are still recruited
from the human race, most are great
people, however some bad ones get
hired. Good deeds are done thousands
of times a day, you never hear about
that. When an officer makes a wrong
decision, watch out. Thats all you
hear about for days. One of my most
cherished awards came from a fellow
officer. I didnt know he saw me stop
my motor, get off and stop traffic to
help an older lady cross the street.
Next day at briefing he gives me a
plaque from the Boy Scouts stating,
To Officer _________ In Appreciation
For Devoted And Untiring Work From
An Old Lady. Any department that
condemns their officers for positive
contacts with the public no matter
what it is, has a problem.
As many corrupt vermin as Ive
helped sterilize over the years using
the lights of journalism and publicity,
it is comforting to know, or at least
hope, that just as many good police
exist.

Think Tank: Extraordinary Crisis Needed to


Preserve New World Order
Elimination Of Non-State Actors And Empowered
Individuals Must Be Done

26

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

riting for the


Atlantic Council, a prominent
think tank based
in
Washington
DC, Harlan K. Ullman warns that an
extraordinary crisis is needed to preserve the new world order, which is
under threat of being derailed by nonstate actors like Edward Snowden.
The Atlantic Council is considered
to be a highly influential organization with close ties to major policy
makers across the world. Its headed
up by Gen. Brent Scowcroft, former
United States National Security Advisor under U.S. Presidents Gerald Ford
and George H. W. Bush. Snowcroft has
also advised President Barack Obama.
Harlan K. Ullman was the principal

are encouraging individuals to


become self-empowered, eviscerating state control.
Very few have taken note and fewer
have acted on this realization, notes
Ullman, lamenting that information
revolution and instantaneous global
communications are thwarting the
new world order announced by U.S.
President George H.W. Bush more
than two decades ago.
Without an extraordinary crisis,
little is likely to be done to reverse or
limit the damage imposed by failed or
failing governance, writes Ullman,
implying that only another 9/11-style
cataclysm will enable the state to
re-assert its dominance while containing, reducing and eliminating the
dangers posed by newly empowered

regular Bilderberg attendee Zbigniew Brzezinski, who in 2010 told a


Council on Foreign Relations meeting that a global political awakening, in combination with infighting
amongst the elite, was threatening
to derail the move towards a one
world government.
Ullmans implied call for an extraordinary crisis to reinvigorate support
for state power and big government
has eerie shades of the Project For a
New American Centurys 1997 lament
that absent some catastrophic catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor,
an expansion of U.S. militarism would
have been impossible.
In 2012, Patrick Clawson, member of
the influential pro-Israel Washington
Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP)

author of the shock and awe doctrine and is now Chairman of the
Killowen Group which advises government leaders.
In an article entitled War on Terror
Is not the Only Threat, Ullman
asserts that, tectonic changes are
reshaping the international geostrategic system, arguing that its
not military superpowers like China
but non-state actors like Edward
Snowden, Bradley Manning and
anonymous hackers who pose the
biggest threat to the 365 year-old
Westphalian system because they

non-state actors.
Ullman concludes that the elimination of non-state actors and empowered individuals must be done in
order to preserve the new world order.
A summary of their material suggests
that the Atlantic Councils definition
of a new world order is a global
technocracy run by a fusion of big
government and big business under
which individuality is replaced by
trans-humanist singularity.
Ullmans rhetoric sounds somewhat similar to that espoused by Trilateral Commission co-founder and

think tank, also suggested that the


United States should launch a staged
provocation to start a war with Iran.
Ullmans concern over failing state
institutions having their influence
eroded by empowered individuals,
primarily via the Internet, is yet
another sign that the elite is panicking over the global political awakening that has most recently expressed
itself via the actions of people like
Edward Snowden, Julian Assange,
Bradley Manning and their growing
legion of supporters.

ciary meeting in December, Republicans were so adverse to the subject


they didnt even mention the word
impeachment. They didnt use that
word, of course. Republican leaders frown on such labeling because
it makes the House majority look,
well, crazy, Dana Milbank wrote for
the Washington Post.
Theyve failed at cutting off funding, theyve had difficulty suing
Obama in court and they lost the
2012 election. That basically leaves
them with the option of making loud
but ineffectual noises about high
crimes and misdemeanors, Milbank,
who was lambasted for daring to
criticize Obama in 2008, continued.
The Framers recognized that
presidential abuse of power carried

30

the greatest potential to wreck the


republic, notes Andrew C. McCarthy. Adamant that the presidency
they were creating must not become
a monarchy, they carried on debates
over the Constitution that were consumed with precluding this very real
possibility. In the end, the Framers
armed Congress with two responsive
weapons: the power of the purse and
the power of impeachment.
Not since Republicans impeached
Bill Clinton for lying under oath
about a dalliance with an aide have
Republicans shown the sort of resolve
required when a president violates
the Constitution and engages in high
crimes and misdemeanors.
It is now up to a small number of
House Republicans to keep the effort

to impeach Obama alive. In December, Texas Rep. Steve Stockman was

A number of Republicans have
urged impeachment proceedings,

Inhofe and Tom Coburn (over Benghazi), Iowa Republican Steve King
and Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert (over

DHS Gave Muslim


Brotherhood VIP Treatment,
No TSA Pat Downs
Like Fema, Local Police Are
Also Preparing For Mass Panic

newly released document


obtained via a Freedom of
Information Act request confirms that the State Department ordered the Department
of Homeland Security to spare
members of the Muslim Brotherhood traveling to
the US in 2012 a TSA pat down or any kind of
secondary screening.
The one page document (PDF), obtained by
the Investigative Project on Terrorism, shows
that members of a Muslim Brotherhood delegation traveling through Minneapolis Airport, New
Yorks John F. Kennedy Airport and Dulles Airport
were handed expedited entry known as port
courtesy, which is normally reserved for high
ranking government officials and dignitaries. At
the time, the Muslim Brotherhoods candidate

32

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

Mohamed Morsi, later deposed, had


not been elected president.
The document contains four separate entries which include a directive
that Muslim Brotherhood members,
not be pulled into secondary upon
arrival at a point of entry. As well
as a TSA pat down, secondary screening involves carry on luggage being
inspected by hand and the use of
puffer explosive detectors.
Two following entries confirm that
Muslim Brotherhood members traveled through both JFK and Dulles Airports smoothly and without incident after the DHS had been alerted
about port courtesies.
Another entry reads; MB delegate
departure: In response to a request
from the MB, the desk worked with the
office of Foreign Missions to arrange
for TSA to escort the last member
of the visiting MB delegation, Abdul
Mawgoud Dardery, through security at
Minneapolis Airport and JFK Airport

on April 15. We did not hear anything


further from the MB, so we assume
the departure went smoothly. In the
coming days, were going to write
down a list of procedures for dealing
with MB visits to the United States.
The delegate was given privileged
access despite one of their members being linked to a previous
child pornography investigation
in the United States. In addition,
the Muslim Brotherhood, which
has now been declared a terrorist
organization by the Egyptian government after bombing a police HQ
last month, is closely affiliated with
Al-Qaeda and has long been cited as
the foundational inspiration for both
Al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad.
The IPT also highlights the fact
that individuals traveling from Syria
to give speaking tours in the United
States, people like Sheik Osama
al-Rifai, that have openly endorsed
Al-Qaeda militant groups under the

banner of the Islamic Front, are being


handed visas by the State Department
with no questions asked.
While completely innocent Americans continue to be subjected to
invasive TSA grope down procedures
and placed on no fly lists for no reason
whatsoever, members of a group with
direct links to terrorism were given
VIP treatment by the State Department, the TSA and the Department of
Homeland Security.

In total, over 2,240


pieces of military
equipment valued
at nearly $3 million
have been sent to
Utah since 2009, an
amount far more

Kelly Thomas Verdict: Cops Now


Have License to Murder

This Is Carte Blanche To Police Officers To


Do Whatever They Want

he acquittal of two Fullerton, California police


officers in the beating
death of Kelly Thomas, a
homeless man who was
pummeled into a coma as he begged
for his life, underscores the fact that
cops now have a license to murder.
Thomas, a mentally disabled
homeless man, was beaten, tasered,
suffocated and pistol whipped as he
lay on a street corner being sat on
by no less than six police officers
during an incident in July 2011.
In what is undoubtedly one of if
not the most disturbing police brutality videos ever, Thomas can be
heard pleading for his father, moaning, Daddy, daddy, they are killing
me, as officers prolong the assault.
According to the jury in the case,
who found officer Manuel Ramos and
officer Jay Cicinelli not guilty on all
charges of murder and manslaughter,
Thomas just coincidentally chose to

36

die of an undiagnosed heart condition


in hospital five days after the beating
having never regained consciousness.
Police claimed that the brutal pummeling they inflicted on Thomas,
illustrated by shocking photos of
his bloodied and swollen body, was
a justified response to his pathetic
attempts to resist being murdered.
These peace officers were doing
their job. They had no malice in their
heart, said John Barnett, an attorney
for Ramos.
Ramos lack of malice was clearly
evident during the encounter, when
he grunts at Thomas, You see these
fists? Theyre about to f**k you up.
Claims made by police that
Thomas was resisting because he
was on drugs were disproved by
toxicology reports which found no
drugs in Thomas system.
Im just horrified. They got away with
murdering my son, Cathy Thomas,
the victims mother, told reporters.

This is carte blanche to police officers to do whatever they want, said


Ron Thomas, the victims father and a
retired Sheriffs Deputy.
The jury bought the argument made
by the prosecution that a prostrate
and unarmed Thomas posed a threat
to six armed police officers, which
as William Norman Grigg highlights,
now means that any meager form of
resistance against sustained violence
metered out by police officers is justification for murder.
John Barnett, the police union
attorney who represented the killer
cops, insisted that the beating was
an appropriate response to Thomass
pathetic, doomed struggle to save
his life, writes Grigg, adding, The
jury validated the argument that the
act of resisting such criminal violence is a capital offense worthy of
summary execution.

Discovery Channel: Stop Worrying About


Fukushima Radiation!

he Discovery Channel has posted a YouTube video urging


its viewers to ignore trolls and fearmongerers and stop
worrying about Fukushima radiation.
In the clip, host Trace Dominguez blames a mob for
trying to make others believe that deadly radiation from
the crippled nuclear power plant could be hitting the west coast of the
United States and is responsible for killing animals and sea life.
INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

39

Dominguez highlights a viral


video showing an individual using
a Geiger counter to detect abnormally high levels of radiation on a
beach in San Francisco, an act that
led public health officials to discover
radiation hot spots 1400% above
normal levels that one expert said
posed a health risk to young children
and babies. As Infowars reporters
who subsequently visited the beach
confirmed, authorities have failed
to erect warning signs to notify residents that the area is dangerous.
Despite experts saying the radiation discovered on the beach was a
health risk, the Discovery Channel
host blames conspiracy hawks for
freaking out about the issue, despite
admitting that background radiation
on the beach is 7 times normal levels.
The video concludes with Dominguez claiming that the Fukushima
nuclear plant meltdown, which
one scientist recently warned could
prompt complete evacuation of the
west coast of North America, poses
no threat whatsoever to Americans
or even fish and sea life in the
Pacific Ocean.
Dominguezs attitude towards the
issue in scoffing at those concerned
over Fukushima radiation mirrors the
establishment rhetoric.
However, while sidelining the matter
authorities are simultaneously preparing for radiation threats. Yesterday
it was announced that 19 different
government and academic bodies
would begin testing sea kelp forests
across California in an effort to detect
radiation from Fukushima. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services recently ordered 14 million
doses of potassium iodide. The DHS is
also flying helicopters low over major
cities to measure background radiation levels.
Experts have concluded that the
radioactive plume from the nuclear
accident in March 2011 will reach
U.S. coastal waters by early 2014. Fish

To claim that the ongoing Fukushima
crisis poses no danger whatsoever to
the Pacific Ocean is patently ludicrous.
When yachtsman Ivan Macfadyen
traveled across the Pacific Ocean
from Japan to San Francisco, he was
shocked to discover that an area he
once saw teeming with life was now
a dead zone.
After we left Japan, it felt as if the
ocean itself was dead, Macfadyen
told the Newcastle Herald.
We hardly saw any living things. We
saw one whale, sort of rolling helplessly on the surface with what looked
like a big tumor on its head. It was

It would be completely naive to
believe that public health authorities in the United States would not,
whether deliberately or through
incompetence, mislead the American
people on major health issues.
Aside from TEPCO and Japanese
officials continually lying in downplaying the severity of the Fukushima
crisis, lest we forget that when the
EPA told ground zero workers not to
worry about breathing toxic air after
9/11, it resulted in 20,000 of them
suffering debilitating and in some
cases fatal illnesses.
The false claim that there were no
deaths or long-term health effects
connected to the accident at the Three
Mile Island nuclear plant was also
based on deceptive assurances made
at the time by authorities that levels

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

of radiation emitted were harmless.


In reality, cancer rates in children
and infants living in Dauphin County,
where Three Mile Island is located,
are significantly higher than the
national average.
It also took scientists 24 years to
conclude that the Chernobyl nuclear
disaster in 1986 was responsible for
1 million cancer deaths as well as
numerous other diseases amongst
both humans and animals.

Numerous governments, including


the French government, deliberately
suppressed information about the
spread of radioactive fallout as a
result of Chernobyl. In parts of France,
thyroid cancer surged as the population didnt take steps to protect itself
having believed their government that
the radiation cloud was harmless.
Lets not forget either the disgraceful
legacy of Project Shad, wherein the US
Department of Defense exposed unwit-

ting and unwilling participants to deadly


biological and chemical weapons.
Similarly, under the atomic soldiers
program, US troops were ordered to
walk directly into the shockwave of
nuclear bombs. According to the logic
of Trace Dominguez and the Discovery Channel, those soldiers should
also have just learned to stop worrying and love the fallout!

We hardly saw any living things.

Ultimate Nightmare: Anti-Gun Michael


Bloomberg As Future Defense Secretary
A Potential Future Candidate, Bloomberg Will Likely Expand Current Gun
Confiscation Training By The Military If Appointed Head Of Pentagon

potential future candidate, Bloomberg will


likely expand current
gun confiscation training by the military if
appointed head of Pentagon
Former New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, known for his anti-gun
agenda, was considered to succeed
Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense
and will likely be a candidate in the
future, a nightmare scenario considering that the military is already training
to confiscate firearms from Americans.
In his latest book Duty: Memoirs of a
Secretary at War, Gates revealed that
Bloomberg was on his short list of
candidates considered to succeed him.
For my own job, my short list
included Hillary [Clinton], Colin
Powell, [former CIA director Leon]
Panetta and New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, Gates wrote on page 537
of his book.
As Bloomberg is well known for
abusing his authority to attack gun
rights, this revelation, combined with
past revelations of soldiers already
training to disarm Americans, is very
concerning for peaceful gun owners.
In 2012, we revealed that a United
States Army document instructed
soldiers to deny access to armories,
arsenals, hardware, and sporting good
stores, pawnshops, and gunsmith
establishments or other places where

42

weapons or ammunition are stored


during a civil disturbance.
To conserve manpower, consideration may be given to evacuating
sensitive items, such as weapons from
stores and storing them in a central
facility, the document added.
In other words, during martial law
or a government declared civil disturbance in reaction to radical or extremist elements, guns will be confiscated
and held by the military, Kurt Nimmo
wrote on the subject.
More recently, former Navy SEAL
Ben Smith revealed that the Obama
administration is asking top military
officials if they would be prepared to
disarm Americans.
Going back to the beginning of this
administration, Ive had friends within
the community talking about how they
were brought in and questioned with
people from more towards the top
side, Smith said. The questioning
where it was pointing was do you feel
comfortable disarming American citizens?
Considering that Bloomberg falls
right in line with the Obama administration on gun bans and that he
was caught using taxpayer-funded
resources to operate Mayors Against
Illegal Guns, its safe to say that he
would no doubt expand training for
gun confiscations during martial law
or a government-declared emergency.

County Sheriffs Stand Up For the Right


To Bear Arms
These Sheriffs Understand The Dangers Of Power Concentrated Into
Those Who Do Not Respect The Bill Of Rights
In their attacks on the remaining
vestiges of the republic, politicians
have become increasingly dependent
on police to enforce their unconstitutional laws pushed upon the
American people. Yet county sheriffs
across the country are refusing to be
used as political tools. These sheriffs
understand the dangers of power
concentrated into those who do not
respect the Bill of Rights. In particular, they are taking a stand for the
right to keep and bear arms. Its not
just one sheriff or five, but rather
dozens of sheriffs across the country
who are united in a fight against gun
control, following the lead of Sheriff
Richard Mack who won a Supreme
Court ruling against provisions of the
Brady Act in 1997. These men believe
in the Second Amendment.
Last May, 55 of Colorados 62 sheriffs
filed a federal lawsuit against two gun
control bills passed by the Colorado
legislature, which outlawed magazines over 15 rounds and forced background checks on private transfers.
In their press release announcing
the lawsuit, the sheriffs spelled out
several strong arguments.
The suit points out that House Bill
1224 outlaws the majority of firearm
magazines, which are an essential
component for a functional firearm, it
read. The bill directly outlaws magazines of more than 15 rounds [and]
indirectly outlaws many smaller magazines with its vague language about
designed to be readily converted.
This appears to outlaw all handgun
and rifle box magazines with remov-

44

able floor plates, and all rifle tube


magazines with removable end caps.
Not only does this violate the Second
Amendment, the press release added,
but it also violates the Supreme Courts
ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller
against prohibiting arms which are
typically possessed by law-abiding
citizens for lawful purposes.
Another problem with the magazine
ban is the requirement for continuous
possession of grandfathered magazines, the press release continued.
This makes it illegal for a wife to let
her husband use her magazine for
self-defense, or to borrow her magazine and take it to a target range.
Because disabled citizens cannot
change magazines rapidly, their fundamental right to self-defense in the
home is especially threatened by the
magazine ban.
In regards to House Bill 1229,
which imposed background checks
on private firearm transfers, the sheriffs pointed out that the requirement
would prevent outdoor organizations
from lending rifles during a hunting
trip. They also noted that a family
farm which is organized as a corporation would also have to pay $22
per family member and farmhand
for background checks each time the
farm purchases a firearm.
Several months later in November, a
district judge in Denver ruled that the
sheriffs couldnt sue the state as a group
because they are elected officials, but
they were still allowed to move forward with the suit as individuals.
The suit, however, wasnt their

only method of combating the


unconstitutional laws; the sheriffs
also refused to enforce the laws in
their official capacity.
One of the sheriffs, John Cooke of
Weld Co., told the Denver Post that it
was the first time he ever decided not
to enforce a law.
In New York last spring, Erie Co.
Sheriff Timothy B. Howard publicly
stated that his department will not
enforce the states controversial
Secure Ammunition and Firearms
Enforcement Act, which bans magazines holding over 10 rounds, restricts
more than seven rounds being loaded
in a magazine, requires background
checks for ammunition, amongst
other draconian provisions.
He added that the law is one of the
strongest examples of the government
not listening to the people.
Its an unenforceable law and I
believe it will ultimately be declared
unconstitutional, he said during a
press conference. Do you want law
enforcement people that will say I
will do this because Im told to do this,
even if I know its wrong?
Howard won his re-election in
November due to his stance against
the gun control law.
The SAFE Act was a major issue in
this [Erie Co. Sheriff] election, Carl J.
Calabrese, a political consultant, said
to the Buffalo News. A lot of people
in Erie County, both Republicans and
Democrats, are hunters, gun owners
and shooters These are motivated
people who get out and vote.

iffs in California met with Gov. Jerry


Brown last fall to try and persuade
him to veto gun control bills passed
by the legislature, including bans
on lead ammunition and semiautomatic rifles.
Brown ultimately vetoed only the
ban on semi autos.
Our way of life means nothing to
these politicians and our interests are
not being promoted in the legislative
halls of Sacramento or Washington,
D.C., Siskiyou Co. Sheriff Jon E.
Lopey said to the New York Times.
And in June, a Florida sheriff was
charged with official misconduct
after he released a suspect held on
an unconstitutional gun charge and
removed his arrest file.
Liberty County Sheriff Nicholas
Finch was booked into his own jail
by the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement, which accused him of
covering up the March arrest of Floyd
Eugene Parrish after releasing him
from the Liberty County Jail.
Parrish had been arrested for carrying
a concealed firearm without a license,
a third-degree felony in Florida.
One of Finchs deputies, Sgt. James
Joseph Hoagland, arrested Parrish
during a traffic stop after finding a .25
automatic pistol in Parrishs pocket
and a holstered revolver sitting in the
front seat, according to court records.
Finch later arrived at the jail and
spoke to Parrish, after which he took
the arrest file and told correctional
officers that Parrish would be released
with no charges.
He also ordered them to return Parrishs firearms.

46

Several days later, Finch told Hoagland that he released Parrish because
he believed in Second Amendment
rights, according to the FDLE investigators, who later issued an arrest
warrant for Finch.
Finchs attorney did not refute the
story as told by investigators.
The records at the jail show exactly
what happened in this case and the
records speak the truth, Finchs attorney Jimmy Judkins said. The sheriff
looked at the facts and said I believe
in the Second Amendment and were
not going to charge him.
That is not misconduct at all. That
is within the Sheriffs prerogative
whether to charge someone or not.
The jury later agreed with him, finding Finch not guilty.
After the trial, Finch said that he
took the stand during his defense so
he could tell each juror that he did
not commit any crimes.
When I took the stand, I had
direct eye contact with each juror
and each one was looking at me and
paying attention to what I said,
Finch said in an exclusive interview
on the Alex Jones Show. They
knew when I got done testifying
that I was telling the truth.
After I got off the stand, I was convinced that I was going to be found
not guilty.
Finch also said that when he joined
the military in 1981, he swore an
oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
I agreed with that oath so much
that I went to war for this country,
he stated. To me, the Constitution

still means something.


So I made the decision not to go
through with the arrest and went to
the jail personally.
By doing so, Finch took a big risk to
himself and his family.
Five months without pay and
having a felony hanging over my head
had an effect on me, he said. But I
was more concerned for my wife and
my two daughters; they didnt sign up
for this, they didnt deserve this.
Im a big boy, they [the state] can
throw anything they want at me, but
it was hard on them and that makes it
hard on me.
Had they prevailed in this witch
hunt, Finch added, I would have
lost my law enforcement certificate, I
would have lost the 15 years I have
in the Florida retirement system and
I would have probably gone to jail for
a little while.
But he stood his ground and he prevailed.
The prosecutor, when this all
started, offered me a deal, he said.
The deal was, Sheriff, if you resign,
well drop the charges and then well
hold a special election in two years
and you can run for office again, and
you know what I said to that.
They called back a week later and
said if you dont decide by Friday,
the deal is off the table and well go
to war. I looked at my attorney and
said you tell that prosecutor that at
least one of us has been to war and if
thats what he wants, thats what hes
going to get.
It is men like these that are going to
save this country.

Nuke Commander Purge: Another 34


Missile Launch Officers Terminated By Air

few short months after two of


the top nuke commanders in the
United States were removed for
minor offenses, an additional 34
nuclear missile launch officers have
now been stripped of their certification following a cheating scandal
in which the Air Force says some
officers were texting answers to

Air Force Strips 34 Launch Officers Of


Certifications Following The Termination
Of The Nations Top Two Nuke Commanders
each other during a monthly test
on missile operation.
This round of terminations in
regards to nuclear launch commanders follows the original
termination of the second highest
nuclear commander (Navy Vice
Adm. Tim Giardina) back on September 3rd of last year-the same
date that Alex Jones and I released
exclusive high level intel revealing a covert nuclear arms transfer
from Texas Dyess Air Force base to
South Carolina. And subsequently,
the same day that Senator Lindsay
Graham would hours later appear
in a press statement to warn against
a nuclear attack on South Carolina
in the event that we did not pursue
war with Syria, the agenda being
pushed at the time.

But the government, of course,


had no intention of telling you that
Giardina was suspended on that
same day. It would later come out
through leaked emails acquired
by the Daily Mail that, despite the
military announcement of Giardinas suspension weeks later, he
was indeed suspended on the exact
same day as the transfer:
Kunze said Strategic Command
did not announce the Sept. 3 suspension because Giardina remains
under investigation and action on
Kehlers recommendation that Giardina be reassigned is pending. The
suspension was first reported by
the Omaha World-Herald.
It is also revealed in the mainstream media that the government
did not want these suspensions and

ACQUIRED BY THE DAILY MAIL THAT, DESPITE THE
MILITARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF GIARDINAS SUSPENSION
WEEKS LATER, HE WAS INDEED SUSPENDED ON THE

firings to go on record, and that it was


an anonymous government insider
who provided leaked emails to the
Associated Press:
An internal email obtained by the
AP on Friday said the allegations
against Carey stem from an inspector general probe of his behavior
while on an unspecified temporary
duty assignment. The email said
the allegations are not related to
the operational readiness of the
ICBM force or recent failed inspections of ICBM units.
When we look back at the 2007

United States Air Force nuclear


weapons incident, where nukes were
reported missing from the Minot Air
Force Base with no official suspect,
the media went into turmoil and
investigations were launched immediately. Even CNN covered the event
in depth and continued to investigate
what was going on. The CNN reporter
even stated that this kind of thing is
not supposed to happen in response
to the event. Yet where is the media
on this subject now?
Whether or not the latest nuke
commander purge is related to the

missing nuke report and previous terminations is yet to be determined as


research continues to be directed into
this topic. What is certain, however,
is the reality that numerous red flags
point to the validity of the unsigned,
black ops nuclear arms transfer from
Texas Dyess Air Force base to South
Carolina. And had we not received our
high level military intelligence on the
subject that spread like wildfire across
various news organizations and communities, we may never know what
could have happened.

Texas DPS: Reenactors Can Carry Outside


Capitol But Not Second Amendment Activists
Reenactors Fire Their Black Powder Rifles
While Gun Rights Activists Stand With
Empty Holsters

he Texas Department of
Public Safety banned a
gun rights group from
carrying black powder
firearms outside the capitol today despite allowing historical reenactors to fire their rifles on
the capitol grounds this afternoon.

Outside the state capitol building,


the Descendants of Confederate Veterans fired three volleys from their
black powder rifles while several
hundred activists at the Gun Rights
Across America rally stood with
empty holsters because the DPS prevented them from carrying.
This is so unreal, one activist said
about the situation.
The Texas state coordinator for
Gun Rights Across America, Tammy
Koontz, emphasized that her problem was entirely with the DPSs
hypocrisy, not with the Descendants
of Confederate Veterans.
The problem is that weve been
trying for three months to get black
powder firearms here just for this
rally for open carry, she said in an
interview with Infowars. We open
carried at this rally last year and yet
they told us that we couldnt carry

this year.
We had Come and Take It Austin
[another gun rights group] presenting a black powder pistol [as a raffle
prize] for this event and theyve
been speaking with them on a daily
basis and were told that they could
not bring it into the capitol grounds
because it was an explosive device.
Were not allowed to do that but
they [Descendants of Confederate
Veterans] are, she added. Now
granted, theyve been doing this for
a long time, but its BS that the DPS
makes its own rules.
A state trooper confirmed that
every year on Jan. 19, the Descendants of Confederate Veterans fire
their rifles outside the capitol.
This is Confederate Heroes Day
and Robert E. Lees birthday, so
they get permission from the State
Preservation Board to do this little
ceremony every year, he said.
So despite its claims about explosive devices, it appears that the DPS
doesnt actually have a problem with
black powder firearms being on the
capitol grounds as long theyre not
carried by those making a stand for
the Second Amendment.

Obama Announces Plan to


Rule by Executive Order
Next Phase Of Dictatorship Proposed To
Save Children And

bama has officially announced plans


to trash the Constitution and move
forward with a socialist-corporatist dictatorship without input from Congress
or the American people. He made the
announcement Tuesday during a cabinet meeting.
Were not just going to be waiting for legislation in
order to make sure that were providing Americans
the kind of help they need. Ive got a pen and Ive got
a phone, Obama said.
And I can use that pen to sign executive orders
and take executive actions and administrative
actions that move the ball forward in helping to
make sure our kids are getting the best education
possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow
and advance, to make sure that people are getting
the skills that they need to get those jobs that our
businesses are creating.
Article I Section I of the Constitution clearly states
all legislative powers reside with Congress. The
founders were inspired by the writings of Montes-

quieu and insisted on three separate


branches of government and instituted a system of checks and balances
to prevent tyranny. There can be no
liberty where the legislative and executive powers are united in the same
person, Montesquieu wrote.
James Madison, writing in Federalist
46, warned that consolidated power
at the executive level is the very definition of tyranny. The accumulation
of all power, legislative, executive,
and judiciary in the same hands
may justly be pronounced the very
definition of tyranny.
George Washington signed the first
executive order proclaiming a national
day of thanksgiving in 1789. Since that
time, the Supreme Court has ruled
executive orders may not be used to
make law, only execute laws passed by
Congress. From Woodrow Wilson and
Franklin Roosevelt onward, however,
presidents have signed a large number
of increasingly audacious and unconstitutional executive orders.
Obama, lacking the charm of Franklin Roosevelt, nevertheless seeks to
follow his path in growing executive
power, writes David Davenport.
Starting with President Woodrow
Wilson, and culminating in Roosevelts New Deal, progressives sought
to undermine the power of the legislature in favor of consolidating power
in the executive branch. From passing
the sweeping healthcare reform bill on
a party-line vote, to the largest use of
executive czars in our history, to initiating new policies on things like immigration and gun control by executive
order, Obama seeks to leave 225 years
of constitutional separation of powers
behind. This needs to be exposed for
what it is: a series of constitutional
end-runs and a power grab by a frustrated and legacy-driven president.
Republicans, looking for partisan
ammo to attack a Democrat president,
will undoubtedly criticize Obamas
latest constitutional affront. Executive
orders and the gradual evolvement of

the imperial presidency is not limited


to Democrats, however.
Both Republicans and Democrats
are fond of referring to the imperial
presidency when someone from the
opposite party is in the White House,
explains William L. Anderson. Yet
both parties have acted to protect and
strengthen the presidency when it was
to their advantage.
Unless members of the other
branches are willing to act on the
important principle of decentralization of power, the American Experiment will end up being nothing but a
footnote of history.
This relegation of the American
experiment to an irrelevant footnote
is precisely what the global elite
with a stranglehold on government
have in mind.
The globalist intelligentsia continue
to argue in favor of trashing the
Constitution. In 2011, CNN contributor Fareed Zakaria argued that the
Constitution is outdated and its principles should be debated and fixed
to conform with the modern era. He
suggested a set of amendments to
modernize the Constitution for the
21st Century.
Adherence to the Constitution is now
portrayed as a form of mental illness.
Indeed, there is something infantile
in the belief of the constitution-worshipers that the complex political
arguments of today can be settled by
simple fidelity to a document written
in the 18th century, the editors the
Economist wrote in late 2010. When
history is turned into scripture and
men into deities, truth is the victim.
The Constitution stands between
the global elite and their plan to
reduce America to an economic and
cultural ruin. Natural rights and
individual sovereignty are intractable
obstacles and must be destroyed if a
one world totalitarian government is
to be realized.
Obamas latest comments on the plan
to impose executive decrees as usual,

for the sake of the children sets the


stage for the next phase of dictatorial
government and the dismantlement of
the Constitution and its relegation to
the dustbin of history.

Were not just


going to be waiting
for legislation in
order to make sure
that were providing
Americans the kind
of help they need.
Ive got a pen and
Ive got a phone,
Obama said.

BADCOP
Police Beat Elderly Deaf
Man For Refusing Orders
WRITTEN BY: MIKAEL THALEN

n elderly, deaf Oklahoma man


was beaten by two highway
patrol troopers earlier this month
for allegedly refusing to comply
during a traffic stop. According to
reports, 64-year-old Pearl Pearson left the scene
of a minor automobile accident before being
pulled over by Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers on January 3.
After issuing several vocal commands from their
police vehicle, troopers claim Pearson refused to
show his hands. Despite a large placard on his
drivers door stating, Driver is deaf, Pearson
claims troopers immediately began hitting his
face as he attempted to show his ID, which also
states that he is hearing-impaired.
After a seven-minute altercation, Pearson was
arrested and charged with resisting arrest and
leaving the scene of an accident. According to
Pearson, he was denied an interpreter for the
entire duration of his detainment in and out of jail.
Not during the booking, hospital, or time at
the jail was an interpreter provided, even though
Pearl requested one, a statement reads.
Another statement on PearlPearson.com reveals
that Pearson has several family members in law
enforcement, making it seem highly unlikely
that Pearson would cause issues for police.
Pearls own son is a police officer, as was his
son-in-law, who is now a deputy sheriff. He
respects law enforcement and knows how to
respond when pulled over. There is no reason
for someone like Pearl to be hurt like this by
those who are meant to protect and serve, the
statement reads.
Sacia Law, Pearsons next-door neighbor, also
agreed that there must have been a major misunderstanding during the traffic stop.

You Cant Yell At Him From Behind


His Car And Get A Response

Hes hearing impaired, you cant yell at him from


behind his car and get a response, Law told Fox 4.
I know they do dangerous jobs and they put their
lives on the line, but that is over the top.
Despite the obvious misunderstanding, the
highway patrol claims they are going forward
with the charges while a review of the incident
is conducted. The police affidavit made no mention whether or not the troopers realized Pearson was deaf.
Pearson is now receiving financial help from
the Total Source for Hearing-Loss and Access
group, an agency which provides assistance to
the deaf and hard-of-hearing. A benefit dinner
has been scheduled for Thursday, January 16
at the Garnett Assembly of God church in Tulsa
from 5-7 p.m.
Unfortunately, an increasingly violent militarized police force has created a real danger for
not only the public, but the countrys countless
Constitution-abiding officers.

Despite a large placard on


his drivers door stating,
Driver is deaf, Pearson
claims troopers immediately
began hitting his face as he
attempted to show his ID,
which also states that he is
hearing-impaired.

Vast Stretches Of
Impoverished Appalachia
Look Like They Have
Been Through A War
In Some Areas Of Eastern
Kentucky, More Than 40
Percent Of The Population Is
Living In Poverty

f you want to get an idea of


where the rest of America
is heading, just take a trip
through the western half
of West Virginia and the
eastern half of Kentucky
some time. Once you
leave the main highways,
you will rapidly encounter
poverty on a level that is
absolutely staggering.
Overall, about 15 percent of the entire nation
is under the poverty line,
but in some areas of eastern Kentucky, more than
40 percent of the population is living in poverty. Most of the people
would work if they could.
Over the past couple of

62

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

decades, locals have witnessed


businesses and industries leave
the region at a steady pace. When
another factory or business shuts
down, many of the unemployed
do not even realize that their jobs
have been shipped overseas. Coal
mining still produces jobs that
pay a decent wage, but Barack
Obama is doing his very best to
kill off that entire industry. After
decades of decline, vast stretches
of impoverished Appalachia look
like they have been through a war.
Those living in the area know that
things are not good, but they just
try to do the best that they can
with what they have.
In previous articles about areas of
the country that are economically
depressed, I have typically focused
on large cities such as Detroit or
Camden, New Jersey. But the economic suffering that is taking place
in rural communities in the heartland of America is just as tragic. We
just dont hear about it as much.
Most of those that live in the heart
of Appalachia are really good salt of
the earth people that just want to
work hard and do what is right for
their families. But after decades of
increasing poverty, the entire region
has been transformed into an economic nightmare that never seems to
end. The following is a description of
what life is like in Appalachia today
that comes from a recent article by
Kevin D. Williamson
Thinking about the future here and
its bleak prospects is not much fun
at all, so instead of too much blackminded introspection you have the
pills and the dope, the morning
beers, the endless scratch-off lotto
cards, healing meetings up on the
hill, the federally funded ritual of
trading cases of food-stamp Pepsi
for packs of Kentuckys Best cigarettes and good old hard currency,

tall piles of gas-station nachos, the


occasional blast of meth, Narcotics
Anonymous meetings, petty crime,
the draw, the recreational making
and surgical unmaking of teenaged
mothers, and death: Life expectancies are short the typical man

than does a man in Fairfax County,
Va. and they are getting shorter,
womens life expectancy having
declined by nearly 1.1 percent
from 1987 to 2007.
In these kinds of conditions,
people do whatever they have to
do just to survive. With so much
poverty around, serving those on
food stamps has become an important part of the local economy. In
fact, cases of soda purchased with
food stamps have become a form
of alternative currency in the
region. In his article, Williamson
described how this works
It works like this: Once a month,
the debit-card accounts of those

receiving what we still call food


stamps are credited with a few
hundred dollars about $500
for a family of four, on average
which are immediately converted into a unit of exchange,
in this case cases of soda. On the
day when accounts are credited,
local establishments accepting
EBT cards and all across the Big
White Ghetto, We Accept Food
Stamps is the new E pluribus
unumare swamped with locals
using their public benefits to buy
cases and cases reports put the
number at 30 to 40 cases for some
buyers of soda. Those cases of
soda then either go on to another
retailer, who buys them at 50 cents
on the dollar, in effect laundering
those $500 in monthly benefits
into $250 in cash a considerably worse rate than your typical
organized-crime money launderer
offers or else they go into the
local
black-market
economy,
where they can be used as currency in such ventures as the dealing of unauthorized prescription
painkillers by pillbillies, as
they are known at the sympathetic
establishments in Florida that do
so much business with Kentucky
and West Virginia that the relevant interstate bus service is nicknamed the OxyContin Express. A
woman who is intimately familiar
with the local drug economy
suggests that the exchange rate
between sexual favors and cases
of pop some dealers will accept
either is about 1:1, meaning
that the value of a woman in the
local prescription-drug economy is
about $12.99 at Walmart prices.
I would encourage everyone to
read the rest of Williamsons excellent article.
In Appalachia, the abuse of
alcohol, meth and other legal and

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

illegal drugs is significantly higher


than in the U.S. population as a
whole. In a desperate attempt to
deal with the pain of their lives,
many people living in the region
are looking for anything that will
allow them to escape for a little
while. The following is an excerpt
from an excellent article by Chris
Hedges which describes what life
is like in the little town of Gary,
West Virginia at this point:
Joe and I are sitting in the Tug
River Health Clinic in Gary with a
registered nurse who does not want
her name used. The clinic handles
federal and state black lung applications. It runs a program for those
addicted to prescription pills. It
also handles what in the local
vernacular is known as the crazy
check payments obtained for
mental illness from Medicaid or
SSI a vital source of income for
those whose five years of welfare
payments have run out. Doctors
willing to diagnose a patient as
mentally ill are important to economic survival.
They come in and want to be
diagnosed as soon as they can for
the crazy check, the nurse says.
They will insist to us they are
crazy. They will tell us, I know
Im not right. People here are very
resigned. They will avoid working
by being diagnosed as crazy.
The reliance on government
checks, and a vast array of painkillers and opiates, has turned towns
like Gary into modern opium dens.
The painkillers OxyContin, fentanyl 80 times stronger than
morphine Lortab, as well as a
wide variety of anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax, are widely
abused. Many top off their daily
cocktail of painkillers at night with
sleeping pills and muscle relaxants.
And for fun, addicts, especially the
young, hold pharm parties, in

which they combine their pills in a


bowl, scoop out handfuls of medication, swallow them, and wait to
feel the result.
Of course this kind of thing is
not just happening in the heart of
Appalachia. All over the country
there are rural communities that
are economically depressed. In
fact, according to the Wall Street
Journal, economic activity in
about half of the counties in the
entire nation is still below pre-recession levels
About half of the nations 3,069
county economies are still short
of their pre-recession economic
output, reflecting the uneven
economic recovery, according to
a new report from the National
Association of Counties.
So what are our leaders doing
to fix this?
Well, they plan to ship millions
more of our good jobs overseas.
Unfortunately, I am not kidding.
Republicans in the House of Representatives are introducing fast
track trade promotion authority
legislation that will pave the way
for rapid approval of the secret
trade treaty that Barack Obama
has been negotiating. The following is how I described this insidious treaty in a previous article:
Did you know that the Obama
administration is negotiating a
super secret trade agreement
that is so sensitive that he isnt
even allowing members of Congress to see it? The Trans-Pacific Partnership is being called
the NAFTA of the Pacific and
NAFTA on steroids, but the truth
is that it is so much more than just
a trade agreement. This treaty has
29 chapters, but only 5 of them
have to do with trade. Most Americans dont realize this, but this
treaty will fundamentally change
our laws regarding Internet free-

INFOWARS MAGAZINE INFOWARS.COM

dom, health care, the trading of


derivatives, copyright issues, food
safety, environmental standards,
civil liberties and so much more. It
will also merge the United States
far more deeply into the emerging
one world economic system.
Once again, our politicians are
betraying the American people
and millions of jobs will be lost
as a result.
Not that the economy needs
another reason to go downhill.
The truth is that our economic
foundations have already been
rotting away for quite some time.
But now the ongoing economic
collapse seems to be picking up

steam again. For example, the


Baltic Dry Index (a very important indicator of global economic
activity) is collapsing at a rate
not seen since the great financial
crash of 2008
Despite blaming the drop in
the cost of dry bulk shipping on
Colombian coal restrictions, it
seems increasingly clear that the
40% collapse in the Baltic Dry
Index since the start of the year is
more than just that. While this is
the worst start to a year in over 30
years, the scale of this meltdown
is only matched by the total devastation that occurred in Q3 2008.
Of course, the mainstream media

will continue to ignore this dour


index until it decides to rise once
again, but for now, 9 days in a row
of plunging prices is yet another
canary in the global trade coalmine and suggests what inventory
stacking that occurred in Q3/4
2013 is anything but sustained.
Soon economic conditions will
get even worse for Appalachia and
for the rest of the country. The
consequences of decades of very
foolish decisions are rapidly catching up with us, and millions upon
millions of Americans are going
to experience immense economic
pain during the years to come.
