Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The 4th of July is upon us. We will hear all sorts of patriotic BS about how wonderful we are and how thankful we are to our brave military which defends our liberty.
Not a word will be said about the destruction by the Bush and Obama regimes of the US Constitution, which once protected our liberty far better than any military action.
Not a word will be said about Washington’s 16 years of purely gratuitous war in the Middle East and North Africa that has destroyed in whole or part seven countries, sending millions of war refugees to overrun the Western World and change the quality of life for Western peoples.
Not a word will be said about Washington’s ongoing insane provocations of Russia and China and Iran and Syria and North Korea that are likely to end in nuclear Armageddon.
Speeches will celebrate “the exceptional, indispensable USA,” and fireworks will go off, preludes to the onrushing nuclear Armageddon.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

While we listen to speeches of our wonderful fairy tale life, how lucky we are to be so beloved by our Great Democratic Government, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has issued an all points bulletin urging its members to wake up and to urge their US Senators “to oppose the American Health Care Act passed by the House. This harmful bill gives billions of dollars to special interests while sticking ordinary Americans with huge premium hikes. It includes an age tax that would force older Americans to pay thousands of dollars more for their health insurance. it weakens Medicare and removes protections for people with pre-existing conditions. I urge you to represent my interests—not those of the drug and insurance companies.”
The last sentence astounded me. How is it possible that a lobby group for retired people can possibly believe that the House and Senate have any interest in serving the American people?
The House and Senate serve the people who have money, and those people are not the elderly. Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the elderly have not had any interest income on their savings for a decade.
Moreover, thanks to jobs offshoring, the middle class is shrinking, and grandparents are having to support out of their savings both children and grandchildren. Savings are being drawn down and used up. Retired Americans simply do not have the resources to compete in Washington with the pharmaceutical and insurance corporations who are determined to pillage the elderly.
In the USA money resides in the hands of the military/security complex, the Israel Lobby (US taxpayers give the money to them), Wall Street and the Banks Too Big To Fail, real estate and insurance, and environmental polluters such as energy, mining, electricity production, and agribusiness. No one else has any money. Therefore, these interest groups determine US domestic and foreign policy.
The policy of the US government is easy to sum up. It consists of driving the American population into the ground and fomenting war abroad. This is what serves the money interests that control the government.
Democracy does not exist in America. All the bombast you will hear on the 4th is designed to keep you locked in The Matrix.
The talk about “taking back your government” is nonsense. The government doesn’t belong to you. You can’t take it back.
Chris Hedges says that your only alternatives are to overthrow the criminal class in Washington or to accept your slavery.
Damn…. talk about echoing my sentiments….
Thanks PCR
PCR at his best. Nice work
And remember this article when they talk about sensible gun laws.
This article is written by an American gun writer who is currently traveling thru Australia.
Llpoh,are you sure Oz is the place for you, not Tejas or Nevada?
I think PCR has become the Thomas Paine of our time.
The English-based, criminal, parasite and imposters to US Currency and US securities have counterfeit over 1200 Trillions of bills, bonds and notes, owed to the phony, intentionally-mislabeled, “Federal Reserve” system.
The criminal, English-based parasites, thrived for centuries, in the absence of any clear and accurate accounting of wars based on lies and finances based on extortion.
The Corruption that is DC, went along willingly, to line their own pockets in what is nothing less than TREASON.
When the time comes and the criminal Filth use the “Brexit (about 6 weeks, away)” to further malign “Federal Reserve” Currencies (bills, bonds and notes), Remember: The Criminal, English-based Filth have destroyed themselves and their phony banking system, NOT the American People…
The intentionally-mislabeled “Federal Reserve” and the bankers and politicians that support it must be repudiated, renounced and the rule of LAW returned.
Article One, Section Eight, paragraph 6, explains clearly: “The Congress shall have the power … To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States… “.
The Corruption in DC must be forced to swear new allegiance to the US Constitution. Many politicians are already proven, as beyond salvage; investigations and prosecutions MUST go forward…
We The People simply have no choice: Our Oppressors have NEVER changed and their tools are now exposed for even the most witless partisans to see; We must nationalize the banks, seize banker assets, issue new Lincoln Greenbacks (with proper regulatory oversight of new bills, bonds and notes),
investigate, prosecute and punish the Traitors in our midst.

US Law Enforcement was sold into abject slavery to Swiss and English Bankers by the Obama DOJ under Eric Holder.
James Comey, the recently fired FBI Director, fashioned Treason for the International, Criminal, English-based, Central Banking Cartel in 2005, as an Assistant AG, under George Bush.
James Comey obfuscated and concealed KPMG as a laundry for terror and drug cartels that had clients that used counterfeit US Currency to murder American and British Soldiers.
In September 2012, former English Finance Minister, George Osborne, resurrected James Comey’s Treason to obfuscate and conceal Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC Bank) is a laundry for terror and drug cartels that use counterfeit US Currency to murder American and British Soldiers.
The Deal was struck in December 2012 under Loretta Lynch while she was a Prosecutor in Brooklyn. George Osborne signed-off on it, Eric Holder signed-off on it and Lanny Breuer signed-off on it.
3 months after they all signed-off on the murder of American and British Soldiers, James Comey was placed as an executive with the bank laundering the money for the murderers- HSBC, in March 2013.
A video, that explains, in detail, the uselessness of American Law Enforcement and the fact they are all sold to Swiss and English Bankers, is here: https://riggedgame.blog/2017/04/30/all-the-plenarys-men/

The US is under assault and it is a palace coup. The players encompass members of both political parties and it is an intentional undermining of US currencys (bills, bonds and notes) and US property rights that are the weapons being turned against US. The Brexit will be employed shortly, to devalue what is PERCEIVED TO BE US CURRENCY (bills, bonds and notes) and what are PERCEIVED TO BE US “SECURITIES (Mortgage-Backed-Securities” with NO MORTGAGES IN THEM!!!!). The REMIC Trusts are ALTOGETHER, WHOLLY-FRAUDULENT! – There are only bogus paper in the “Trusts”. The Currency is COUNTERFEIT IN EXCESS OF 1200 TRILLION DOLLARS, BY IMPOSTERS IN THE CENTRAL BANK (the intentionally-mislabeled, “Federal Reserve” IMF and World Bank) – google a “quadrillion”- and the “Securities” are also COUNTERFEIT, in service to insurance fraud- The REMICs- Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits” are better-named, “REMIFs- Real Estate Mortgage Insurance Frauds”. The Clintons deregulated OTC “Derivatives (insurance frauds)” 2X and the Clintons stripped bankruptcy protections, and the Clintons suppressed protections under Glass-Steagall, with three republican senators, Gramm, Leach and Bliley. Eric Holder’s Law Firm, Covington-Burling created the original counterfeiting mechanism, “the MERS” and Obama created the counterfeiting hedge fund: “Residential Capital” and they are both being used to undermine property titles and US Securities and US currencys. ~ Michael Keane 6/12/17.
We know. We fucking know this already. Stop it. Go post this over on MSNBC.com.
Once people receive The Mark of the Beast (the chip to buy and sell), they will become eternal slaves. Then Jesus will return and turn all the Rothschild Empire tables to dust. PS: This country has suffered so much because of the Blacks but now you couldn’t pay somebody to take a load of them and they are flooding into Europe and Florida like hungry rats. Just some more of that Change Obama promised and liberal rats love.
Once people receive the Mark of the Beast, Kali will come and turn everyone into dust.

AARP lobbied HARD for ObamaDontCare; since they do not represent my best interests (or those of any other normal American, retired or not) I no longer listen to anything they say; and if I ever DO retire, I will not join or pay them any money. AMAC! MAGA!
Everybody rants. Nobody does anything. Why?
It’s because they don’t know what to do. Why?
We have been purposefully kept ignorant. Do you need to ask why?
Start your journey out of ignorance by reading this article.

Once people receive The Mark of the Beast (the chip to buy and sell), they will become eternal slaves.
Just a thought, but in some ways the “mark of the beast” may be any laws, permits, certifications, or licenses created by government stopping you from exercising your GOD-given, Constitutional rights to sell your labor, pursue life, liberty, …etc.
I’m not a big Ayn Rand fan, but she was on the mark when she wrote:
“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.”
