War On Cash Goes Into Full Effect — Citibank Stops Accepting Cash At Multiple Branches - TruthTheory By Jack Burns via The Free Thought Project In 2015, as a guest on Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, Economics Professor Joseph Salerno warned of a coming war on cash. Apparently, now, that time has come. Governments loathe cash transactions because they’re private and hard to tax. Salerno said, “The French premier last year (2014) drew a parallel between the war on terror and the war on cash,” and warned the world’s economic elite are now “using the war on terror as a cover to get at cash.” At the time of the interview, 2015, Salerno said the war on cash has already begun in the U.S. and pointed to Citibank’s new policy which disallows patrons to use cash to pay their mortgages and credit cards with cash. “This is only a first step,” even though it was only on a state level. While it hasn’t happened yet on a federal level in the United States, cash reclamation is occurring today in India. “I assure you other governments are watching this experiment (in Greece),” he said.

The US has $20 billion of Afghan reconstruction spending scheduled, and a further $10 billion requested for the 2014 budget.
How The US Will Save Syria Panicked super rich buying boltholes with private airstrips to escape if poor rise up Super rich hedge fund managers are buying 'secret boltholes' where they can hideout in the event of civil uprising against growing inequality, it has been claimed. Nervous financiers from across the globe have begun purchasing landing strips, homes and land in areas such as New Zealand so they can flee should people rise up. With growing inequality and riots such as those in London in 2011 and in Ferguson and other parts of the USA last year, many financial leaders fear they could become targets for public fury. Robert Johnson, president of the Institute of New Economic Thinking, told people at the World Economic Forum in Davos that many hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes. He said: “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway." Getty Mr Johnson, said the economic situation could soon become intolerable as even in the richest countries inequality was increasing.
Obama told friends he reneged on progressive promises out of fear of MLK's fate -- former CIA analyst says Obama has abandoned progressive principles, such as stopping drone attacks and shutting down Guantanamo, because he is afraid of being assassinated, telling friends, “Don’t you remember what happened to Martin Luther King Jr.?” retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern said today. He’s afraid of what happened to Martin Luther King Jr. And I know from a good friend who was there when it happened, that at a small dinner with progressive supporters – after these progressive supporters were banging on Obama before the election, Why don’t you do the things we thought you stood for? McGovern spoke on WBAI’s show Law and Disorder this morning. I’m pretty convinced the President of the United States is afraid of the CIA. During his CIA career, Ray McGovern prepared daily briefings for the president and chaired the National Intelligence Estimates. The crucial segment of the interview begins at about 48 minutes. Ratner then said, “I represent Guantanamo people. McGovern responded:
Four Chemical Attacks U.S. Wants You to Forget | Brainwash Update Scientific study reveals conspiracy theorists the most sane of all (NaturalNews) If you're a conspiracy theorist, then you're crazy, right? That's been the common belief for years, but recent studies prove that just the opposite is true. Researchers -- psychologists and social scientists, mostly -- in the U.S. and United Kingdom say data indicate that, contrary to those mainstream media stereotypes, "conspiracy theorists" appear to be more sane than people who accept official versions of controversial and contested events. The most recent study was published in July 2013 by psychologists Michael J. Wood and Karen M. The researchers noted that they were surprised to find that it is now more conventional to leave so-called conspiracist comments than conventional ones. "Of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist," the researchers wrote. 'The research showed that people who favored the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile' A conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theory Or not. You be the judge. Close
'Terrorism' and the Perpetual Emotion War Machine As a perpetual emotion machine -- producing and guzzling its own political fuel -- the “war on terror” continues to normalize itself as a thoroughly American way of life and death. Ongoing warfare has become a matter of default routine, pushed along by mainline media and the leadership of both parties in Washington. Without a clear and effective upsurge of opposition from the grassroots, Americans can expect to remain citizens of a war-driven country for the rest of their lives. Across the United States, many thousands of peeling bumper stickers on the road say: “End this Endless War.” They got mass distribution from MoveOn.org back in 2007, when a Republican was in the White House. MoveOn is very big as online groups go, but it is symptomatic of a widespread problem among an array of left-leaning organizations that have made their peace with the warfare state. Now, on Capitol Hill, the most overt attempt to call a halt to the “war on terror” is coming from Rep.
