My unpublished (100,000 word) book “The Financial Jigsaw”, is being serialised here weekly in 100 Issues by Peter J Underwood, author
We have looked generally at how the elite’s ability to suppress and manipulate data could be limited by the rise of the internet: here is the link to last week: Issue 30
In this Issue I have deviated briefly from the EU condition and make no apology to reproduce information from Jim Quinn some years ago, which still holds true today, concerning those among us who would attempt to keep vital information buried in secret. This article is a little lengthy but worth a read because it says much about the state of the USA today and who the traitors/warmongers are: https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/12/08/how-big-brother-grips-americans-minds-support-invasions.html
CHAPTER 6
The European Union
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.” Albert Einstein [who might have been commenting on Brexit]
“Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred; and always stronger than internationalism”.
George Orwell
The ‘traitors’ are exposed
A recent exposé of American surveillance techniques by Edward Snowden (“Whistleblower Extraordinaire”) should give us concern, or more particularly, concern about who is calling for his prosecution.
Although the following edited extract exemplifies the state of America in 2013, I believe it also applies to Great Britain and Europe, however not to the degree that the USA has fallen, but because of its history the British Government has more subtle ways of managing its affairs of state.
The previous examples, in the last Chapter, on H.M. Government’s methods of manipulation are illustrated to an extreme by the American experience and without apology I quote directly from: Jim Quinn’s blog, www.burningplatform.com -19th June 2013 – [except for my own title and emphasis].

“[Add] a few hundred shadowy billionaires are how they have unequivocally declared that Edward Snowden is a filthy, high school, dropout traitor. He has revealed secrets about how the ‘Lords of the Manor’ keep the serfs and peasants under surveillance. Here is a smattering of the vitriol spewed [out by] these American “patriots”:
- “America is now a less safe place. The world is a less safe place because of what Mr. Snowden unilaterally did. He deserves to be prosecuted. I hope they find him in the hole that he’s hiding in Hong Kong and bring him home and try him.” – Karl Rove
- “I hope we follow Mr. Snowden to the ends of the earth to bring him to justice.” – Lindsey Graham
- “For this, some, including my colleague John Cassidy, are hailing him as a hero and a whistle-blower. He is neither. He is, rather, a grandiose narcissist who deserves to be in prison.” – Jeffrey Toobin – The New Yorker
- “What he did was an act of treason.” – Diane Feinstein
- “He’s a traitor.” – John Boehner
- “I think he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I consider him right now to be a defector.” – Peter King
- “There is an obligation both moral, but also legal, I believe, against a reporter disclosing something which would so severely compromise national security.” – Peter King
- “I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people.” – Al Franken
- “For me it is literally, not figuratively, literally, gut-wrenching to see this happen, because of the huge, grave damage it does to our intelligence capabilities.” – James Clapper (Perjurer)
- “We do not see a trade-off between security and liberty.” – Keith Alexander – NSA Director
- “The national security of the United States has been damaged as a result those leaks. “The safety of the American people and the safety of people who reside in allied nations have been put at risk as a result of these leaks.” – Eric Holder
- “I think he’s a traitor. I’m suspicious because he went to China. That’s not a place where you would ordinarily want to go if you are interested in freedom, liberty and so forth. It raises questions whether or not he had that kind of connection before he did this.” – Dick Cheney – The Dark Lord
- “And I hope that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” – Mitch McConnell
- “Now you’ve got this 29-year-old high school dropout whistleblower making foreign policy for our country, our security policy. It’s sad, Brian. We’ve made treason cool. Betraying your country is kind of a fashion statement. He wants to be the national security Kim Kardashian. He cites Bradley Manning as a hero. I mean, we need to get very, very serious about treason. And oh by the way, for treason — as in the case of Bradley Manning or Edwards Snowden — you bring back the death penalty.” – Fox News and Friends
- “Can intelligence operate effectively if every starry-eyed analyst feels entitled to be a self-appointed whistle-blower?” – Gary Rosen – The Wall Street Journal
- “Edward Snowden should go to jail, as quickly and for as long as possible.” – John Yoo – The National Review.
- “I think on three scores—that is leaking the Patriot Act section 215, FISA 702, and the president’s classified cyber operations’ directive—on the strength of leaking that, yes, that would be a prosecutable offense. I think that he should be prosecuted.” – Nancy Pelosi
- “Who is a journalist is a question we need to ask ourselves. Is any ‘blogger’ out there saying anything – do they deserve First Amendment protection? These are the issues of our times.” – Lindsey Graham
- “This lens makes you more likely to share the distinct strands of libertarianism that are blossoming in this fragmenting age: the deep suspicion of authority, the strong belief that hierarchies and organizations are suspect, the fervent devotion to transparency, the assumption that individual preference should be supreme. You’re more likely to donate to the Ron Paul for president campaign, as Snowden did. But Big Brother is not the only danger facing the country. Another is the rising tide of distrust, the corrosive spread of cynicism, the fraying of the social fabric and the rise of people who are so individualistic in their outlook that they have no real understanding of how to knit others together and look after the common good.” – David Brooks
“It seems the ruling oligarchs, their mouthpieces in the mainstream media (both conservative and liberal), Machiavellian politicians on both sides of the aisle, unscrupulous military commanders and deceitful government bureaucrats have all rallied to shield their existing perverted surveillance state.
These people actually believe that what is best for their own personal interests is also best for the citizens of this country. There is only one Party – the Establishment Party. The smear campaign against Edward Snowden began immediately. The vitriolic accusations, venomous scorn, malicious ridicule and pathetic attempts to discredit Edward Snowden for sacrificing everything on behalf of the country he loves has revealed more truth about how the real world operates than the thousands of articles written by supposed “conspiracy theorists” over the last decade.
Anyone with their eyes open and mind not controlled by the regime know the real criminals in this tragedy. Leon Trotsky, who also participated in a brutal fascist, surveillance state, put it best”:
“The real criminals hide under the cloak of the accusers.”
And the last word:
“The issue boils down to this: do we care about freedom? Do we care about responsibility and accountability? Do we care that our government and media have been bought and paid for? Do we care that average Americans are being looted in order to subsidize the fattest of cats on Wall Street and in government? Do we care? When the chips are down, will we stand up and fight, even if it means standing up against every stripe of fashionable opinion in politics and the media? Times like these have a way of telling us what kind of a people we are, and what kind of country we shall be.”
Ron Paul
