Doug Casey on What Happens After the Next 9/11

Guest Post by Doug Casey

Is a police state in the U.S. possible? Absolutely.

That’s because people are essentially the same the world over, regardless of their culture, religion, race, or what-have-you. A certain percentage of them are sociopaths.

There is a standard distribution of sociopaths across time and space. It’s a function of Pareto’s Law, better known as the 80-20 rule. 20% of the people do 80% of the work. Another 20% are responsible for 80% of the crime. 20% of the population always winds up with 80% of the wealth. And so forth, through all areas of human endeavor. This observation can be represented by a bell-shaped curve – a “standard distribution” – with a small minority at each extreme, but the large majority in the middle. The people who will take us to a police state are sociopaths – criminal personalities who don’t respect the liberty or property of others. And sociopaths gravitate towards government, and eventually come to control it.

My view is that 80% of human beings are basically decent, get along, go along types. 20% are what you might call potential trouble sources, that can go either way. But then you take 20% of that 20% and you’re dealing with the sociopaths.

When social conditions reach a certain stage, these really bad guys come out from under their rocks and take advantage of the situation. We’re seeing that right now in the U.S., across the political spectrum. Just as we’ve seen in the past in hundreds of places throughout history.

A major tipping point occurred almost 18 years ago, on September 11, 2001, with the attacks in New York and Washington, DC. They were disastrous. But not nearly as disastrous as the government’s reaction to them.

Among them, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Anybody who speaks German knows that a reasonable translation of Homeland Security is Geheime Staatspolizei, which is usually abbreviated to Gestapo. Anybody that goes through airline security these days should ask themselves, “Where the hell did they find these people? Didn’t they have jobs before they went to work for this moronic agency?” The answer is that there are people out there who like wearing costumes, are willing to boss, herd, interrogate, and go through the dirty laundry of their fellow citizens. They take their jobs seriously and you better not even look at them sideways. There’s no reason to believe it’s going to get better as they groove into their jobs, and their employer cements itself into place. More likely the trend will accelerate.

Is America currently a police state? Well, let’s see. You can still get in your car and go anywhere, although you might be stopped by the police and you might be detained if your papers aren’t in order. Or the officer thinks you’re not properly respectful. Or you have “too much” cash.

Was there any particular day that Germany became a police state in the 1930s? I’m not sure you can put your finger on any one particular day, even after Hitler was legally and democratically elected. It was a progression, with new laws, new regulations, new taxes every day, while more fear and hysteria were worked up among the populace. Kristallnacht didn’t occur the day after the National Socialists took power.

It’s a case of the frog being put in a kettle of water where the temperature is gradually raised to a boil. That’s what’s occurring in the U.S. After 9/11, in addition to Homeland Security, we got the Patriot Act, with, among other things, its suspension of habeas corpus. That means that the government can lock anybody up for any reason and not even have to tell them why. Accuse them of being an “enemy combatant” – a neologism that justifies anything and is robotically and thoughtlessly accepted by Boobus americanus – and anything is possible. Including a trip to a CIA black site in some Third World hellhole. This is something I thought was settled in Western Civilization with the Magna Carta and King John. But we’re going backwards in most areas of personal freedom. And America, of all places, is leading the way – even while falling behind economically.

I don’t know if I can put my finger on exactly when we’re going to go over the edge, but if I was going to guess I would think the real catalyst is going to be the next 9/11-type event. And I don’t doubt it’s going to happen.

How are we any different than the Germans in the 1930s? This was one of the most civilized, best educated countries in Europe and they fell into the abyss. I suppose we’re a bit different. Americans are addicted to welfare, anti-depressant drugs, food, and electronic devices. That should certainly give us a better outcome…

There’s a joke I like to tell. Let me ask you this: Which is the gravest danger? Is it the ignorance, or is it the apathy of the average American today? Stumped? Here’s the answer: I don’t know and I don’t care.

Don’t you ever wonder why the Department of Homeland Security did not seal the borders and ban ALL muslums, all ILLEGALS, from entering ….. 16 YEARS ago? THAT was the ONLY JOB it HAS — SECURE the Nation!
DHS is NOT about SECURING the Homeland …….
W-rong Bush hired the former head of the East German STASI, Marcus Wolf, and Yevgeny Primakov, former head of the KGB, to design Homeland Security ( both Jews, Followed by more “dual”citizen creeps.). Why? To bring oppression HERE
FEMA-CAMP-GAZA is a PREVIEW for you “PREPPERS/PATRIOTS” …. We are ALL Palestinians now ……. LIVE FREE or DIE ….. maybe they would rather their children DIE ON THEIR FEET than live as SLAVES

just WHO is training your FEMA police/guards? it is the mindset and brainwashing your police have been received.
It is a well documented FACT that TSA has never caught a Terrorist, but, TSA Human Resources has found a whole lot of TERRORISTS. As a matter of fact, TSA Human Resources only hires Terrorists. The best “anti-terrorist” move the USA could make, would be to arrest everyone that TSA Human Resources hires because that is all they hire, Terrorists. Rapists, Thieves, Muggers, Pedophiles, Drug Smugglers. —————–
“Integrity, Team Spirit, Innovation” the TSA Core Values is sewn around the border of the TSA patch. Have you ever seen an organization that had to SEW A REMINDER not to STEAL, LIE, and CHEAT on their own shoulders!!!! They STEAL from the “abandoned” items, BACK-STAB the PASSENGERS and their CO-Workers and “INNOVATIVELY” CHEAT on their own tests.
Supervisors PADDING their hours to make house payments.
Supervisors staggering in drunk.
Supervisors yelling all NON-Christians should leave the country
Supervisors “alerting” one another to “Red Team” testing.
Supervisors expressing their desire to see certain U.S. Senators DEAD
FSDs stealing bonus money
FSDs demanding “special” treatment for their friends.
TAKING “Voluntary” confiscated items home ……….

FYI, TSA was already planning on expanding to bus, train stations, public events, STREET CORNERS, back in 2002.

After the next 9-11, hopefully Israel will cease to exist. As they were responsible for the last WTC demolition, it is only fitting that the masterminds and perpetrators of this even get their “just due”…
They should have been “eliminated” after the “act of war” against the USA perpetrated on June 8, 1967 with the attack on the USS Liberty (GTR-5). If I had my way, Israel would have “ceased to exist” on June 9, 1967…

Learning more about the USS Liberty “event” probably was a significant waking event for me… I met Captain McGonagle at a ROTC event at OU in 1996 or 97. He told me several things I never knew I didn’t know and I was 30-something and thought I knew a lot.

I am still surprised at how little it turns out I know.

“Is a police state in the U.S. possible? Absolutely.”

Hal Lay Fucken Loo Yah!!! Casey finally sees the light!!

I was gonna funny-ize the lyrics. But, they fit perfectly.

================

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Now I’m here blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here suddenly I see
Standing here it’s all so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she’s here shining in the starlight
Now she’s here suddenly I know
If she’s…

A little Johnny Cash for ya …

What if one could actually step back into another place? Peters’ Hardware downtown (18 miles) still has a sewing section as well as a whole cabinet full of guns and ammo on the far wall behind the “counter.”

I’m not sure anyone within five miles of me could locate New Zealand on a globe, if they recognized the globe for what it was. They can, however, hunt like their granddaddies taught them, they listen to their mommas and they clean up good on Sunday for church.

And then, we head to the river to have a cold one.

The “next 9/11” already happened.

The socios Doug refers to already came out to play and built digital pens (for the vast majority, anyway). No great need for DHS, NDAA, Patriot Act, etc. – they appear to be just scarecrows (for that same majority).

The vast majority are already in a cell and being abused and don’t even recognize it.

Like This:

“Nervous System Manipulation by Electromagnetic Fields From Monitors: US Patent 6506148” – (monitors found on a smartphone, maybe!?)

From just the one patent cited above (and there are more – USPTO.gov search will show you):

“Physiological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic fields that are pulsed with certain frequencies near ½ Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set.”

“Certain monitors can emit electromagnetic field pulses that excite a sensory resonance in a nearby subject, through image pulses that are so weak as to be subliminal. This is unfortunate since it opens a way for mischievous application of the invention, whereby people are exposed unknowingly to manipulation of their nervous systems for someone else’s purposes. Such application would be unethical and is of course not advocated. It is mentioned here in order to alert the public to the possibility of covert abuse that may occur while being online, or while watching TV, a video, or a DVD.” (Riiiiiiiight!)

And here is someone that was in a position of high-power over billions of people admitting the use of the unethical application mentioned in the patent:

“Chamath Palihapitiya, the vice-president for user growth at Facebook prior to leaving the company in 2011, said, “The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that we created are destroying how society works. . . . No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, mistruth.” So, we are seeing a similar type of thing there as well.””

I would certainly speculate that the dopamine-driven feedback, referenced by the former Facebook V.P., is from (maybe mainly or entirely from?) specific and intentional use of pulsed EM frequencies as the patent specifies.

Any honest-with-theselves individual must wonder not if, but HOW they are being manipulated right now and by whom.

There is a world off grid, I’ve heard.

Just A Guy

No there’s not. And I don’t mean phones and facebook. I have never created an anti-social media account and although I have a 6 year old trac-fone, I NEVER carry it with me.

Doesn’t matter. Manipulation for the masses may be via phone, but there are other ways that already exist…

You think you are “off-grid” because you don’t use electricity and are out in the “middle of nowhere” and such? Bullshit!

To whit:

“In 2001, the Missile Defense Agency awarded Lockheed Martin a $40 million contract to work on the High Altitude Airship, a 500-foot-long (152-meter-long) blimp, 25 times larger than the Goodyear blimp and much more capable than the Ascender and could loiter at altitudes above 65,000 feet for as long as a year.”

“LOITER FOR ONE YEAR”….That was 18 years ago DD!

Unlike the first few searches might claim, the project(s) was not scrapped.

Here is a story from the Intercept citing a Snowden-released-doc that talks about a different blimp/program with similar features used by NSA over the USA:

https://theintercept.com/2017/04/24/nsa-blimp-spied-in-the-united-states/

There is a TON more stuff out there if you want to look. USPTO.gov is also useful and actually discloses lots of things that are kept pretty quiet – and there are thousands+ patents that are classified, too.

There was a story regarding the launching of spy blimps over the U.S. in 2007 (if I remember). I believe it said that 7 Blimps could cover the entire U.S. and they contained sensor and camera packages that could zone in on anything, anywhere and read license plates or smaller writing. They also interecepted and archived ALL electronic U.S. comms. They could loiter for 1 year+.

My point is as stated earlier: There is No “off-the-grid” left. If govs/militaries/organizations are manipulating the public with pulsed EM frequencies, it doesn’t really matter if it’s done with a screen you own or if it’s done with RF/EM emitters you can’t see.

Stuff associated with “Star Trek” sci-fi (like mind-control/manipulation beamed from an updated blimp and much, much scarier things no doubt) is NOW reality.

Mostly, good sci-fi writers, from the ’50’s on, were very accurate with predictions because they (and the scientists/work they based their stories on) knew that the predictions would become reality as soon as just a few missing components were realized: superior power sources – check, superior energy storage and release -check, superior alloys – check, superior fuels – check, superior computational ability – check and superior modeling (from the superior computational ability) – check.
