Trump’s Far-Right Endorses Suspending The Constitution

 Trump’s Far-Right Endorses Suspending The Constitution

By Michael Hoffman

www.RevisionistHistory.org

General Michael Flynn, fresh from his pardon by the president, has endorsed a statement by the Right-wing “We the People Convention,” stating that Trump must “declare a limited form of Martial Law, temporarily suspend the Constitution, have the military oversee a national re-vote and silence the media.” 

The “We the People Convention” is calling for a re-vote to include “only registered voters with photo IDs, to be limited to only paper ballots, to be hand counted and with members of both Democrat and Republican parties observing.” 

Yes, indeed, all U.S. voting ought to be conducted like that. But Trump needed to have that in place prior to the November election, not after his defeat. 

For any “conservative” GOP group to advocate suspension of the United States Constitution makes a mockery of everything for which patriots stand. And Trump's ex-National Security Advisor, who is so IQ-challenged he was entrapped with ease by the FBI when he was serving in the White House, is complicit in this Fascist, precedent-setting treason, thereby fulfilling Leftist predictions, reflective of Cass Sunstein’s stratagem for “cognitive infiltration” of the easily duped and misdirected Right-wing, now identified as an anti-Constitutional force.

Here we observe the cultivated chaos that has swirled around Donald Trump for four years. Mr. Trump is not a detail man and the “detail” of only paper ballot voting by citizens with photo IDs should have been his prime focus, raised repeatedly and emphatically before November. 

The objective of the current chaos is to throw the key Georgia senatorial election in January into a too-close-to-call contest wherein the Democrats’ candidates squeak through, thereby handing control of Congress to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Trump’s sloppy, lazy and unfocused handling of the election controversy has been indicative of his whole presidency, with its myriad lost opportunities, together with an off-putting, blowhard persona that has exhausted and alienated many of his erstwhile supporters. 

President Trump should be projecting a calm, statesman-like demeanor. He can effectively retaliate against his perceived enemies in the media and the crooked elections establishment, by campaigning energetically from one end of the state of Georgia to the other between now and January 5, narrowly focused on demanding an exclusive in-person, paper ballot, photo ID election. Even if that goal is not implemented in January it can intimidate and preempt a planned vote fraud. 

The end result of a focused campaign in the Peach Tree State, one which eschews whining and projects dignity in the face of a possibly stolen presidential election, while generating sympathy for Mr. Trump and the GOP, would very likely be victory in Georgia, retention of Republican control of the Senate and consequently, a crucially important brake on the revolutionary schemes of Harris and Biden. 

If however, he continues to play the part of a petulant sore loser while his allies urge suspending the Constitution (which includes the Bill of Rights), you can bet those derisory images and dire threats will turn up in Democratic attack ads, and a majority Republican U.S. Senate will have been sacrificed to the engorged ego of Donald Trump and the native Fascism of his most fanatical partisans.

Pondering the Mysticism of the Times on Thanksgiving, 2020

 Pondering the Mysticism of the Times on Thanksgiving, 2020

Michael Hoffman

On Nov 22, 2020, at 22:58, Tim <xxxxxxx@startmail.com> wrote to Michael:

I recently read your post regarding the Puritans.  It brought to mind a few questions I had regarding your thoughts on certain topics that seem relevant to the times we find ourselves in.  First, a great deal of speculation is afoot regarding what will come of the election and whether Trump will activate the Insurrection Act if he doesn't prevail in court.  Alternatively, there is speculation that if Biden is installed, we will begin a move into tyranny, initiated by a form of medical martial law that ends in the gulag.  While I don't have a great deal of knowledge on the esoteric side of astrological doctrines and beliefs among the elites, this coming year would mark (maybe?) the "21" of the "Great Game of Black Jack" you have referred to occasionally.  It also seems to coincide with the 26,000 year procession of the equinox and the earth's passage through galactic center.  Do you think this coming year -- if the Cryptocracy places significance in dates and times according to the movement of planets and stars -- has been a time-table known for centuries?  Is this coming year particularly significant because it aligns with "21" and the astronomical phenomena?  If so, is this how they've managed to use twilight language and predictive programming that gives the appearance of coincidence and synchronicity?  

Dear Tim

The Internet has overblown predictions about Trump and the election results. More particularly, forces of the Cryptocracy working inside the Internet related to QAnon etc. 

Post-election we were receiving “the-sky-is-falling” e-mail in considerable volume while 9/11 conspirator Rudy Giuliani and co. were staging theatrical election-fraud (the fraud seems to be real in many cases) spectacles that were long on declamations and remarkably short on evidence. 

Now that Trump has done what he had to do and initiated the transition to Biden, our e-mail on this subject has gone nearly silent. One can see that those expecting an apocalyptic "fight to the finish!" and activation of the Insurrection Act, have been demoralized and exhausted by the charade into which they were sucked. 

This fatiguing mental enervation is almost always the objective when the Cryptocracy is conditioning our people, who seem gullibly unaware that Cryptocracy honcho Cass Sunstein of Harvard Law, and late of the Obama administration, wrote of the need for cognitive infiltration of the patriot and JFK/9-11 conspiracy research movements. Sunstein heads the UN’s behavior modification unit, designing heightened psychological warfare approaches to defeating us mentally. Much of this tricknology is operated from inside the extreme right wing, using useful idiots, as for example the circulation of hysterical rumors against Tucker Carlson, urging a boycott and claiming he was a sellout because he correctly demanded a little something known as evidence for the wild allegations made by the lady lawyer on Giuliani’s team who Trump eventually fired.

As for esoteric speculation about the forthcoming 2021, since the BlackJack gateway opened on Sept. 11, 2001, every year since has been “charmed.” Our current year MMXX with its "20/20 vision" (as Matthew Bell has perspicaciously termed it), is significant for debuting the “crowned" (corona) COVID19 "peril to our land” national emergency. As you know, 2001 was ushered in on Jan. 1 with the appearance of a "mystery metal monolith” in Magnuson Park in Seattle. Now in 2020, on Nov. 18, another "mystery metal monolith” was unveiled in southern Utah during our “moment of national peril.” Was the discovery truly accidental or part of a timetable for its revelation? What is its role in processing the Group Mind of the masses?

I don’t credit astrological doctrines, though I don’t blame you or anyone else for gauging the impact of beliefs in astrology on people’s behavior, which is a Fortean study. Talk of "26,000 year procession through the galactic center” reminds me of the apocalyptic talk about the thousand-year-old, long count “Mayan Calendar” apocalypse, falsely prophesied almost eight years ago for December 21, 2012. 

Whatever places us in a psychic pressure cooker is suspect. Whoever claims the authority to know a 26,000 year procession is imminent, or the Mayan Calendar is about to be certainly fulfilled, is suspect. 

Consider the mental state of those whose lives are so impoverished they have a psychological need to go from one end-of-the world prognostication to the next, ever more frazzled and burned out as they do so. Imminent End Time expectations are seeded among our more vulnerable people by the agents of paralysis. Their intent is to cause us to intensely psychologically light up for a time, and then burn out permanently. If I had a hundred bucks for every fine person I have known in the course of 35 years in this fight who has quietly dropped out and sunk into paralyzing despair and oblivion, I would be a wealthy man. 

The last time I checked, the Bible teaches that up until the Second Coming, people would be marrying and being given in marriage, and crops sown and harvested. Perhaps if more of us were engaged in age-old natural vocations and ways of life tied to the good earth — farming and raising large families — we would be less vulnerable to the states of nervous exhaustion induced by the 24/7 emergency “news” cycles on television and the Internet.

Secondly, you mention the recent book contra transgenderism by Abigail Shirer.  Do you think the focus on transgenderism is, ultimately, alchemical in nature?  Is this about the androgyne and a reconciliation of opposites to create a new consciousness?  If alchemy was, at some level, an attempt to achieve immortality without Christ and repentance, then is the recent focus on gender theory meant to converge with transhumanism? 

In the rabbinic Midrash and Lurianic Kabbalah the “primordial” created man, "Adam Kadmon" (אָדָם עִילָּאָה,), is depicted as possessed of male and female genitalia in one body. In alchemy this “unity" is a recurring trope. The Japanese philosopher George Ohsawa to the contrary, believed that divine creation was sustained by the attraction of strong opposites, personified as male and female: very masculine men and intensely feminine women. This is why, he said, for centuries traditional schools kept boys and girls apart so that they might strongly develop their unique biological, psychological and spiritual characteristics in temporary isolation, coming together after high school with their polarities sufficiently developed. Ohsawa taught that this fostered life. He said that where there was little distinction between opposites much death would manifest. 

One only has to look at the state of the self-extinguishing, contraception-and-abortion obsessed white race to see the truth in his observation (alas, the same can be said for the vanishing Japanese). Or take a gander at the tormented souls in the ranks of antifa brimming with hatred and violence, whose sexual identity is as fluid as a tropical storm. 

I see that little, if anything, was mentioned regarding the assassination of JFK today as well.  When I was growing up, through college, it was often a day remembered, like Dec. 7th and Pearl Harbor.  

The same weak-willed amnesia greeted the 400th anniversary on Nov. 21 of the landing of the Mayflower in New England. Even fifty years ago this was celebrated throughout our culture and society at large. In 1920 the 300th anniversary of the Mayflower was massively commemorated. 

I’ll close with something to laugh at: the despots who call themselves the governors of Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, California ad nauseam, have in many cases ordered Thanksgiving celebrations to consist of ten people or less. I had to smile when I read that because years ago I was friendly with an Amish bishop named Mose who had 17 children. I know of "traditional Catholic" families here in north Idaho with ten or twelve children. By the edicts of our newly minted tyrants, the children of these families cannot all gather together to give thanks to Almighty God for the blessings we continue to enjoy. What a joke on the arrogance of our small-minded rulers who can’t conceive of a modern family consisting of more than a couple of kids.

A blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours,

Violent Racists: White AND Black

By Michael Hoffman

www.revisionisthistory.org

I have returned from the Sandpoint, Idaho conference this past weekend, where Oklahoma native Justin Cottrell, who now resides in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho with his family, presented a visual slide program based on his excellent book, Black Serial Killer.

To briefly summarize what many of you may already know, Whites are vastly more victimized by Blacks than the other way around, and the violence in the Black community in the U.S. (against each other, the police and Whites) is overwhelming compared to the relative peace that obtains in majority White neighborhoods. Mr. Cottrell makes these points with seemingly irrefutable statistics. 

The Other Ferguson

Cottrell also jogged my memory concerning the other Ferguson, Colin Ferguson, the racist Black killer who gunned down five Whites and wounded many others, and who is now largely forgotten. On December 7, 1993, Ferguson murdered five Whites including two White women who were passengers on the Long Island Rail Road in Garden City, New York. He also killed an Asian person. He wounded 19 others, most of them White. Ferguson had written notes about “filthy Caucasian racist females.” In 1994 Ferguson stated, “I wiped out six devils (White people).”

The pattern of media amnesia toward bigoted Black victimizers of Whites is documented in Cottrell’s Black Serial Killer. The author demonstrates that time after time, Black serial killers are usually publicized only locally, and in the case of newspapers, sometimes only in the back pages. Whites who victimize Blacks however, like Roof in Charleston, become planetary-wide symbols of the supposedly inherent wickedness of the White race; part of our “DNA” as President Obama recently alleged. It’s a fraud that perpetuates cycles of violence and misunderstanding by libeling White people and providing an alibi for more racist Black violence. 

President Obama and White “DNA”

Whites who victimize Blacks however, like Roof in Charleston, become planetary-wide symbols of the supposedly inherent wickedness of the White race; part of our “DNA” as President Obama recently alleged. This type of talk is a fraud that perpetuates cycles of violence and misunderstanding by libeling White people as a group, and providing an alibi for more racist Black violence. Obama’s use of the phrase DNA (a reference to the basic genetic code) is particularly outrageous in that any negative remarks about African-American “DNA” would elicit a deluge of denunciation and outrage, as they have in the past when scientists have generalized about alleged genetic characteristics of Black people. The Orwellian standard of “some are more equal than others” is becoming more prevalent. Relentless equalitarian rhetoric has resulted in Whites becoming “less equal,” to paraphrase George Orwell’s Animal Farm satire. One wonders what the DNA in the African sub-continent consists of, in that right up to the present time, Black tribes butcher rival Black tribes without remorse or concern for the “civil rights” of their millions of victims. Washington Post reporter Keith Richburg in his important work, Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa, offers gratitude for his life in the USA, compared with his years reporting from Africa, where he says he could easily ended up as one of the numerous bloated corpses of the victims of inter-tribal wars which he saw floating down rivers and streams. 

From a political point of view, the President’s anti-White remarks will surely hurt the Democrat Party and benefit Republicans in the 2016 Presidential election. War-Zionist neocon candidates like Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush will play the Caucasian card against the Democrats during the campaign. Whites in the South, Midwest and rural areas will likely vote for Wall Street’s Republican war profiteers who are eager to engage in a disastrous, Israeli-driven foreign policy entailing attacking Russia and Iran and involving the US in another costly foreign war quagmire in the Middle East. For American voters in 2016 it looks to be another case of a “choice” between havoc and calamity.

Shall we become what we oppose?

Some White nationalists are taking the low road on the despicable and cowardly massacre in the Charleston Church, by failing to adequately condemn Roof’s heinous acts and by subtly endorsing - to one degree or other - Roof’s supposed “manifesto.”

The political views of a homicidal terrorist are of no interest to this writer. Both Dylann Roof and Colin Ferguson should be hanged in public after a fair trial and an appeal process. Caucasians of all political persuasions who are worthy representatives of White Christian America, ought to express condolences and sincere sympathy to the Black survivors of this terrible atrocity, and condemn in no uncertain terms what this coward perpetrated.

Anything less is a sign that we ourselves have degenerated and become bestialized by the process of conditioning which the Cryptocracy has imposed on our nation, as evinced by the increasingly soul-rotting media of news and “entertainment.” 

There are no extenuating circumstances for a gunman who enters a church while people are praying and shoots unarmed civilians. He is a degenerate. Decent White people Right and Left need to say so unambiguously. This is one way we show forth the merits of our civilization. In “The Merchant of Venice” William Shakespeare contrasted two mutually exclusive archetypes as represented by the vengeance-seeking Judaic, Shylock, and the mercy-seeking gentile, Portia.

It’s a tragedy whenever we become what we oppose. I pray that our people will not sink to the level of the Zionists who made excuses for Baruch Goldstein’s massacre of 40 worshippers at the mosque in Hebron in 1994. Some Zionists even made a martyr out of that monster.

A White man deranged and filled with rage due to the vicious anti-White racism that is not an issue for the chattering classes, might at some level of his anguish be understood if he entered the headquarters of the heavily armed Los Angeles “Crips” street gang and engaged them in armed combat. It would still be wrong (because he would be breaking the law and acting as a vigilante), but in that case there would be extenuating circumstances, and no one could rightfully term the White assailant in that situation a punk, which is what Dylann Roof surely is. 

Cass Sunstein’s spirit at work

There are conspiracy theories circulating to the effect that no one was really killed in the Charleston Church. Apparently all of the bereaved relatives are actors, and the eyewitnesses are liars. I can find no evidence for this grave claim. When conspiracy theories are based on supposition or wishful thinking, proper and healthy skepticism toward the mouthpiece media and official government accounts is discredited.

There are aspects of Roof’s crime toward which one may be rightfully skeptical. We continue to question the timing of his rampage, which, on the day of his apprehension, coincided with publicity for the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the state of Texas and against the Confederate flag. It’s almost too convenient. This “coincidence,” coupled with Roof’s history of ingesting the drug Xanax, causes us to ask whether he was some sort of government Manchurian candidate. But since we do not possess the resources to follow up our questions with an investigation of Roof, we can only hope that some news organization with the integrity and the means, will do so. Until they do, our tentative doubts have the status of questions and nothing more.

The Cryptocracy’s academic patrician, Cass Sunstein, famously advocated infiltrating the ranks of conspiracy theorists so as to discredit them. People who claim Roof shot no one must either produce evidence demonstrating why the relatives faked their bereavement and why the surviving witnesses lied. Empty speculation masquerading as sleuthing does a huge disservice to those who survived the savagery in Charleston, as well as to scrupulous conspiracy theorists who want no part of irresponsible rumor-mongering.

May all of the innocent victims of racist hatred in America, both the Black victims memorialized by the world, and the White ones consigned to the memory hole, be equally mourned and remembered.

The Message of the 9/11 Conspiracy in the year 2014

By Michael Hoffman

www.revisionisthistory.org

Today is the 13th anniversary of the US government’s attack on its own people at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City.

In November we will observe the 51st anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by the CIA, in cooperation with the US Secret Service that was sworn to protect him.

The U.S. was never the same after the killing of our President, the people were transformed, as was the nation. The same is rightly said of Sept. 11, 2001. It was a landmark in the systemic psychological warfare inflicted on the American people.

What is the message of successful conspiracies like these? First, that those responsible for investigating the criminal conspiracy: the top cops, judges, lawmakers and journalists, neglected to do so. They chose their careers and creature comforts over bringing traitors to justice. 

This type of sybaritic treachery recently came to light in England, in the Rotherham Borough Council report which estimated that from 1997 to 2013, Pakistani and other Muslim immigrants systematically raped and sexually trafficked some 1,400 English girls as young as twelve years-of-age, while the British police deliberately looked away, lest they be accused of bias, since all the perpetrators were Muslim. Imagine these well-paid, over-fed police officials in their cozy, well-appointed homes snuggled in the bosom of their families —  knowing that the children of poor and middle class English parents were, day after day, sex slaves of Pakistani men —  and doing exactly nothing about it. The moral rot is almost inconceivable. Yet, it’s the same perversion of mind and soul exhibited by those who should have investigated and prosecuted the killers of Kennedy, and those who pre-positioned demolition explosives inside the Twin Towers and WTC building seven.

Instead, those who publicize this treason are being classed as a type of conspiracy theory terrorist by Establishment elitists such as Cass Sunstein, for whom “Holocaust denial,” “climate change denial” and doubts about the official accounts of who killed Kennedy and who attacked our nation on Sept. 11, are all part of a seamless fabric of intellectual terrorism. This sort of phantasmagoria should be laughed out of contention, but it is not.  

The second message imparted by the Cryptocracy’s immunity in killing the President and bombing the Pentagon and the WTC, is invincibility. In the movie “Patton,” General George Patton (himself a probable victim of an assassination arranged to look like an accident), as played by George C. Scott, states that Americans traditionally love a winner and can’t abide a loser.

Those responsible for the murderous coup that made Lyndon Johnson President of the United States, and which on Sept. 11 gave George W. Bush the pretext he needed to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, destabilize the Middle East, and bring his creature Al Qaeda to prominence, are winners in the sense of their power on earth and apparent invincibility. Since they are the winners, who are the losers? The American people, certainly, a fact which signals that Patton’s formula applies to us -- we can’t abide ourselves. Self-loathing is psychologically destructive and defeating, and leads to further degeneration and perversion. What are the signs?

One indicator would be “Childhood’s End,” in the words of the prophet of the 2001 gateway, Arthur C. Clarke. The Internet invasion of childhood now underway is perhaps the most tragic manifestation. Children as young as 9 and 10 are addicted to iPods, iPads, electronic tablets and personal computers. They are hooked, via wireless modem, to an online world where childhood ends. They exist in a catatonic state, tethered to a digital hive. This excessive electronic stimulation bordering on hypnosis, leads to an atrophied attention span in which focusing on reading even one chapter from a serious book is a tall order, while taking part in a family dinner and participating in an extended conversation becomes a tedious bore. And this zombie state is nothing compared to what is coming in the next year or two as the price of full immersion, Virtual-Reality (VR) goggles becomes more affordable.

After VR becomes ubiquitous, parents will nostalgically dream of the “good old days” when their kids were only half-tethered to hallucination. With the coming of VR the immersion, in hallucination will become total, and the ability to distinguish between the real and the fake will be sacrificed on the altar of technological verisimilitude.

At the opposite end of the spectrum of this psychological crippling, are the survivalists whose reaction to the cowardice and treachery which produced the world we inhabit is to give up, declare that “it’s no use,” and head for the hills to save their own skins. Many who do this claim to be Christians, followers of the God-man who said, “For whosoever shall save his life shall lose it.” 

Survivalists imagine that they are the most virile of all Americans, taking “responsibility” in the face of the coming, “inevitable collapse.” Little do they know that this frame of mind has been seeded by the Cryptocracy just as surely as the other psychologically crippling scenarios we have been examining. Survivalists in days of yore would have been regarded as cowards. In Anglo-Saxon England these survivalist types would have spotted the seemingly unbeatable Viking hordes landing on shore and would  flee, leaving protection of the nation to others. Those who will only fight when the odds are in their favor possess the mentality of brigands and pirates. Yet they call themselves family values conservatives as they abandon the field to God’s enemies. 

Strange, is it not, that immigrants to the US from China and Mexico, facing overwhelming odds against them, find a way, in many cases, to overcome them? They have the health and the nerve, the hope and the optimism, to take advantage of what they view as a land brimming with opportunity. Often times with not much more than the clothes on their back, they move up the ladder of success, one step at a time. They are overcomers, even though, in the case of most Asian immigrants, they are not Christians. Meanwhile those who abuse the name of Christ by claiming to be His followers, overcome nothing, having decayed into faithless, hopeless people hiding in holes, awaiting the end.

Like the CIA’s JFK assassination, the US government-orchestrated 9/11 terror attacks are aimed at the hearts and minds of the American people, as part of an occult process of paralyzing us psychologically. 

Oh ye of little faith! Almighty God permits no challenge to us without also bestowing sufficient grace so that we may overcome the challenge, if we are up to our destiny as sons and daughters of the Most High.

The question is, are we?

It’s okay to believe Establishment-approved conspiracy theories

By Michael Hoffman

www.revisionisthistory.org

Richard Hofstadter's shopworn tome, The Paranoid Style in American Politics (1964) is dusted off whenever the Establishment wants to discredit a consiracy theory that comes too close for comfort concerning its own crimes and treachery.

George W. Bush's Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, recently used Mr. Hofstadter’s book to discredit Edward Snowden. One might gather from Mukasey’s disinformation and that of another penman in this field, Cass Sunstein, author of Conspiracy Theories and Other Dangerous Ideas (2014), that, to be consistent, these Establishment factotums would pour just as much derision on conspiracy theories when they are circulated about enemies of the Establishment.

(Mr. Sunstein's book seeks to discover why "perfectly rational people sometimes believe crazy conspiracy theories." The insinuation being that if you believe in conspiracies you're crazy).

Actually, it's this premise itself which is “crazy." Establishment-approved history is replete with thousands of claims of conspiracies, from the genuine one that killed Julius Caesar, to the dogmatic one that a bunch of Arabs from the caves of the Third World were solely responsible for destroying part of the Pentagon and three skyscrapers, while killing thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

What Sunstein, Hofstadter, Mukasey and now Andrew Kramer of the New York Times are trying to assert are the prerogatives of royalty. These Establishment-anointed spokesmen are telling us, the peasants, not to believe conspiracy theories about the U.S. System, but that we should definitely believe conspiracy theories about the Russian government. Take the example at hand. Here below is Mr. Kramer, foreign correspondent for the NY Times, writing in the June 13 online edition:

Ukraine Claims Control of Port City

By Andrew E. Kramer 

June 13, 2014

"...Over the long term, Ukraine, with its far larger though badly equipped and poorly trained army, has more forces, and it is unclear how long the separatists can hold out without more support from Russia. That is something Moscow cannot offer openly without risking more severe Western sanctions. The result is misdirection and sleight of hand, and a conflict of endless puzzles and mind games.” (End quote)

Here is a copy of an e-mail which we sent to Kramer June 13:

Dear Mr. Kramer,

You wrote concerning alleged Russian government acts in Ukraine: “...The result is misdirection and sleight of hand, and a conflict of endless puzzles and mind games.”

This statement of yours would be denounced as conspiracy theory if written about the United States government's operations in Iran, Syria or Kiev. It’s interesting to observe how alert you are to alleged machinations by Moscow. I haven’t read anything similar from you about CIA actions in Ukraine. Perhaps “our side” is always above board and devoid of “mind games”?

Sincerely,
Michael Hoffman

As of June 16 Mr. Kramer had not replied.

Thought cop Cass Sunstein “reviewing" the NSA for Obama

The White House Intelligence Review Will Come by Year's End 

By Matt Vasilogambros | The National Journal 

October 28, 2013

The United States is reviewing the way it gathers intelligence. This has now become a tired and oft-repeated phrase coming from the Obama administration, as disclosures continue to reveal the far-reaching extent to which the U.S. spies on its allies....

While U.S. officials have been summoned to explain themselves to different European leaders—Spain being the latest—aides to President Obama, from press secretary Jay Carney to Secretary of State John Kerry, have said there is currently a review underway to determine where the American spying program should go in the coming years....

Speaking on Monday (Oct. 28), Carney was vague about the current review and said he would not specifically address the latest disclosures from Edward Snowden.

Still, Carney said there's already been progress as the U.S. contemplates spying agreements with some of its allies, including Germany. "Even as that work is being done, some decisions have been made that reflect the president felt desire to find the proper balance," Carney said at his daily press briefing.

There are currently two reviews ongoing. One is within the White House, run out of the National Security Council, which is what Carney is referencing. The other is an outside group, consisting of members that were appointed by President Obama—including the former acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell, and Cass Sunstein, the husband of U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power and former head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs... (end quote; emphasis supplied).

Michael Hoffman's Afterword:

Cass Sunstein is leading a review of police state practices in the NSA for President Obama? Is this a misprint or a joke? Sunstein is the thought cop who, in 2008, co-wrote Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 08-03, "Conspiracy Theories," advocating that the Federal government suppress and "cognitively infiltrate" conspiracy theorists.

Sunstein wrote, "Some conspiracy theories create serious risks. They do not merely undermine democratic debate; in extreme cases, they create or fuel violence. If government can dispel such theories, it should do so....We have suggested...that government ...enlist... independent groups to supply rebuttals, and by cognitive infiltration designed to break up the crippled epistemology of conspiracy-minded groups...” (end quote)

A tyrant who wants the government to suppress certain thoughts, and forms of intellectual expression, is now going to advise the White House on where the NSA should go in the coming years? A travesty!
