Custer's America

George Armstrong Custer
          
"I challenge the annals of warfare to produce a more brilliant or successful charge of cavalry."

-George Armstrong Custer, writing in his report after he led a mounted charge of the 1st Michigan Cavalry just east of Gettysburg in which he severely damaged the Confederate army while losing 257 of his own men

The death and wanton destruction of the American Civil War produced a number of soldiers of fortune.  After the war ended and the Confederate enemy resoundingly defeated by total warfare, these men merely picked up their sabres, saddled their horses, and rented themselves out to exploit the western lands for European monied interests.  Some, like Custer, were especially driven by want of fame and fortune.  His want was different than some men who fought for merely a paycheck.  Custer wanted to parlay his "successes" into political might.  Men with exceptional appetites for greedy ambition flourished in the West during the mid to late-nineteenth century as enormous environmental crimes were supported and promoted by the U.S. Government as it confiscated the land of human beings and delivered it into the hands of the men that would become the first "cattle barons."

"You ask me if i will not be glad when the last battle is fought, as far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end."

-Custer

The West during the time of Custer was still wide open with free beings living on the land.  Had the destruction of America not been sealed with its inception, the United States Republic could have protected the land, the animals, and the human beings that lived on it.  Instead, the United States was compromised by corporate ownership from the first days of the "national bank."  Greed and exploitation were the motivating forces for men, as they raced from coast to coast destroying everything in their path.  Land, water, people, animals-  nothing could escape the insatiable greed of some men.

   Perhaps this is why a cocky dandy, and no doubt all-around ambitious asshole like Custer rose to such a high rank in the world were destruction and control is a career.  Military men destroy for a living.  Their lives are dictated to by the many wants of a world set on exploitation and rape instead of life and prosperity.  Military men can hardly be called family men as they destroy families to support their own ilk.  As a matter of occupation, military men cannot live and let live, full-time soldiers have to destroy as they live under the orders of an earthly master whose main gain is total victory over "free life."  Through violence, these masters want to dictate how life will be lived.

"There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry."

-George Custer

America today is not unlike the ill-fated 7th Cavalry on that hot, sunny day in late June, 1876.  Moneyed  interests- greedy, power-hungry interests are leading the American people directly into a buzz saw.

Why do people follow ignorant psychopaths like Custer?

A logical person would think, since Custer clearly made so many obviously blatant  blunders during the summer campaign of 1876, that the U.S. Army and Government would want to put as much distance between Custer's legacy and future campaigns.  This is hardly the case since counties in six states bear his name.  The 85th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army is named  "The Custer Division."  Even in the 21st Century, in Fallujah, Iraq, during the town's siege by American forces, a major Forward Operating Base was named Garryowen, after the drinking song men under Custer's command played as they rode.

 Unbeknownst to most Americans, the dye is already cast.  The lot of Americans has been thrown in with leaders just as cutthroat and as idiotic as Yellow Hair.  No matter how many times patriotic Americans recall their "hammer and anvil" successes on the battlefield, their monetary prowess and stuff accumulated, no matter how many times they play Garryowen, their own defeat and destruction is assured.  America has accepted the bugle call of the megalomaniac, the tyrant, and the sadist.  Illogical reasoning due to propaganda, death and destruction, supported by greed has won the lead and the path has been chosen.

Some will continue to ride.  Others, as the Crow Indian scouts parted with Custer before his ill-fated invasion, may look elsewhere for their "fame and fortune" and just be happy with moderate prosperity.

Hugo Chavez Ha Muerto, La Humanidad Sufre

                              
"I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet."  

-Hugo Chavez

One of the good ones has passed on to another world.  During the time Hugo Chavez walked the Earth, he did so as a big man, un hombre grande, standing up to the elite bastards intent on keeping the poor enslaved and the world exploited and destroyed. 

Chavez was a real populist, probably due to growing up poor.  From his humble beginning on the llanos(plains) of Venezuela, Chavez rose through the ranks of the military to eventually control the fourth largest oil-producing country in the world.  Before Chavez's ascension to power, the country was controlled largely by outside interests, raping the country for oil while keeping Venezuelans in poverty.  

Chavez nationalized everything.  This irked the large oil corporations and the forces intent on imposing a new economic order underneath a one-world government.  Chavez was scheduled to be overthrown by these global interests in 2002 before the Iraq War.  The coup was unsuccessful, however, and Chavez was restored to power that he would not relinquish until his death this week.   

"We must confront the privileged elite who have destroyed a large part of the world." 

-Hugo Chavez

The financial elite, who today are still wreaking havoc all over the world by means of their phony paper money system, despised Chavez from the start.  He was never one of them-  unwilling to sell his balls for a "privileged life of wealth."  Chavez was a real man who knew the conspirators of the new world order were full of shit and was not afraid to tell the world.  When a massively destructive earthquake crushed Haiti under mysterious circumstance Chavez was the only world leader to come out and say it was the United States testing their tectonic weapon, HAARP in Alaska.  The National Pulse also covered this terrible event with a 3-part series, found here, here, and here.)  

Hugo Chavez, representing one of the largest oil-producing states in the world, was a constant thorn in the sides of the slutbag whore politicians and their corporate pimps.  He started repatriating all  Venezuela's gold back home from thieving overseas banks.  Chavez nationalized all the oil and the assets of oil companies, declaring, "Our people will never again be anyone's slave."  Chavez even moved to seize golf courses and give the land to the poor.

Sickeningly, the U.S. media has celebrated Chavez's death and trotted out their cult of personality, the gay, half-black, traitorous corporate slave, Obama, to give the usual line stating that he and the U.S. "support the Venezuelan people." This is similar to how the U.S. has supported the Libyan people and the Syrian people-  by purposely sabotaging their country in order to allow corporate overlords to exploit its resources.

Humanity has lost an important leader, one who won't soon be forgotten.

"Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honor.

Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honor and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise.”
 
-Moammar Gaddafi, Oct. 2011, from his last will and testament as delivered to The Guardian

Land Conquering Through "Civilization"

              
"Construction started in 1907. It was finished in 1909. The site is supposed to be located on an Indian burial ground and I believe they actually had to repel a few Indian attacks as they were building it."

- General Manager Stuart Ullman, of the fictional Overlook Hotel, from the horror film, The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick   


It has been 149 years since the Sand Creek Massacre in southeastern Colorado.  Since that time, America has built herself a massive institutions all named after the protagonists.  Not all of them were good people.  This year, Northwestern students from the Native American and Indigenous Student Alliance want to investigate the history of John Evans, the namesake of Evanston Illinois.  Evans used to be the territorial governor of Colorado during the Lincoln presidency.  He was the incumbent "governor" when the man he appointed, the Methodist Reverend and Colonel John Chivington massacred 53 unarmed men and 110 women and children at their winter camp (November 29, 1864) near the Sand Creek in Colorado (not too far from present day Eads and Chivington).  After the massacre, Evans decorated Chivington and his men for "valor against the savages."  
Dr. John Evans

 Besides abetting and rewarding mass murder, Evans was just another 19th century railroad whore politician.  His investments into the Chicago & Fort Wayne Railroad and the Chicago & Evanston Railroad not only made him wealthy, but improved his political success. Evans moved West, playing his role in stealing ancient homelands away from the Indians to build railroads and universities (University of Denver & Northwestern University).  Evans lost his position as Territorial Governor after Sand Creek, but was was treated as hero in most social circles in 19th century America.
The Denver,South Park, and
Pacific Railroad,
19th Century

Though his political career took a hit, Evans went on to be a "founding father" of the Rio Grande Railroad, the University of Denver, and Northwestern University.  Evans was seen as a pillar of the community.  Still to this day, there is a bust of his image in the Northwestern library and the Alumni House at Northwestern University bears his name.  Was he an important person in American history or a mass murderer?     

"Their village consisted of one hundred and thirty Cheyenne and with Arapaho lodges. These, with their contents, were totally destroyed. Among their effects were large supplies of flour, sugar, coffee, tea, and women's and children's clothing were found; also books and many other articles which must have been taken from captured trains or houses. One white man's scalp was found which had evidently been taken but a few days before. The Chiefs fought with unparalleled bravery, falling in front of their men. One of them charged alone against a force of two or three hundred, and fell pierced with balls far in advance of his braves."

-excerpt from an editorial from The Rocky Mountain News, 1864     

Should this situation peak the interest of modern-day Americans? 

 At the root of the conflict with the Native Indians was the issue of control of land, water, and resources.  The whites, with their churches and armies, secret societies and fraternal organizations, armed with the surveyor's level and story pole, named landmarks and rivers, and cordoned off the best tracts of land for white civilization. 

Today, the same criminals are running amok, killing off the Earth and everything that lives in it for personal profit.  Students at Northwestern should not be suprised at the fame and respect a man like Dr. John Evans is offered more than a hundred years after his death.  The lie of imperialism and civilization made itself entrenched in the fabric of all educational institutions a long time ago. 
Dr. John Evans Alumni House
Northwestern University

Ironically, soon, it seems, the government or other imperial forces will reckon with the relatives of their former comrades.  The pie is getting smaller all the time under this phony monetary system and soon the poor Americans  (the massive majority) will be in the crosshairs of the conquerors and destroyers.  Soon they will be the Indians getting invaded and run off by bloodthirst and greed.

The Power Outage Prayer to the God of Imperialist Desire

The Imperial Cult, Washington D.C. circa 2012 
 
"When the white man turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys."
 
-George Orwell
 
 
Last Sunday night, the depraved decaying American empire, in it final throes, was on display in front of an audience of 108 million world-wide viewers.  The Super Bowl is no longer only a professional football championship.  The entire day is a television orgy of consumerism, debauchery, and most importantly, state worship.  New commercials are aired for the first time throughout the Super Bowl.

Through the power of television, the oligarchic corporate elite have transformed Super Bowl Sunday into mass-brainwashing event.  Each year the event has turned into more and more of a cesspool of depravity-  a blatant celebration of debauchery, sex, and violence.  This year, Satanic overtones were overtly presented in advertisements, with Willem Dafoe actually impersonating the Devil and making a Faustian offer in one Mercedes Benz commercial.  Pop singer Stevie Wonder was portrayed as a "voodoo master" in a Bud Light advertisement, actually placing a curse on a guy's "lucky" chair.  Other advertisements were overly sexual or gratuitously violent.  One depicted a man waking up in a woman's apartment after an apparent one-night stand with furry leopard handcuffs on one hand.  Another showed women dancing on stripper poles.  Beyonce's halftime concert, which she performed in lacy underwear, was rather whorish, as she gyrated across the floor exposing nearly all of herself.  From start to finish, the night was a thoroughly corrupting force on children who watch the game because they like sports.

But perhaps the most curious event of the night was the "power outage" that occurred in the second half of the game.  Half of the lights in the Mercedes Benz Superdome went out for 34 minutes.  Promoters and pundits were shocked by the delay and scrambled to explain to the viewing audience why half the stadium suddenly darkened; interrupting the most-watched game of the entire year.


bust of Jupiter
Indeed, accidents and failures do happen, but to ignore such an event as simply an aberration is naive.  The 34-minute delay was a prayer to the Roman god of Empire, Jupiter.  Jupiter was the "king of the gods," extremely powerful, and the god of the sky and lighting.  For the ancient Romans, Jupiter personified the divine authority of the state and its officials to rule over the plebeians and other conquered peoples.  The Imperial Cult, formulated in the Principate of Augustus, identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority of the Roman state.  Is that how amputees of the fiascoes of Iraq and Afghanistan feel?  Like part of an imperial cult destined to conquer and rule?

with their mascot, the eagle

Saluting the imperial nation of the United States is as important a part of Super Bowl Sunday as the main attraction of football.  The auto company Jeep, ran an especially disgusting ad about America becoming "whole again." Even as more kids are killed in America's urban areas than in war zones, the imperial elite are still force-feeding imperial patriotism down every body's throats.  The sad part is, America will never be "whole again," especially the poor bastards who came home and committed suicide because of the traumatic stress disorder caused by the horrors of war.  The whole attempt at lionizing soldiers and their mission is disgusting and repugnant.

America's Imperial Cult needs every ounce of evil energy to continue attempting to subjugate the world.

Why 34 minutes?

The above painting, Melancholia I, by Albrecht Durer, contains a Jupiter Magic Square.  The first sixteen numerals are in four columns by four rows all adding up to 34.  The corners all add to 34.  The diagonal numbers all add to 34.  For more on the magic square, click here.

Masters of the Game and Their War Against You

                          
"We will never know the amounts of the money involved, but it has to be the biggest financial fraud of all-time."

-Adrian Blundell-Wignall, special advisor to the secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris, France 

Did the criminal bankers and politicians rig the rates and force the bailouts onto the people for the money?  Maybe this was the case, for some of the abetting criminals, in some instances.  But since the Federal Reserve and the European Union can print their money out of thin air, their "money" is nothing of value.  The paper only has any worth because the state declares it so by force or the threat of force.  The paper printing allows them to be masters of the game they have created, manufacturing consent in the masses with their powerful propaganda organs, and violently conquering lands of the resistors with their slave armies.  The systems of control employ hundreds of thousands, the minuscule few of which EVER dare to voice their sickening displeasure of the tyranny and wanton violence made possible by their position as master of the game. 

Laurent Louis
Recently, Laurent Louis, a young deputy in the Belgian House of Representatives, finally broke from the ranks of the tyrants and began to explain the extensive fraud of current world events that is preventing humanity from enjoying peace and life's potential beauty.  Louis explained, "The leaders of Western countries are taking their people for fools, with the help and support of the press, which today is nothing more than the propaganda organ of the powers that be."   Louis was just getting started as he pointed out that preventive war has become a normal aspect of world politics, the repercussions of which is very dangerous to a humane society.  "Everywhere in the world, military operations and destabilizations of regimes are becoming more and more frequent. Preventive war has become the rule. Nowadays in the name of democracy or the war on terrorism our states appropriate the right to violate the sovereignty of independent countries and to overthrow legitimate leaders. There was Iraq, Afghanistan, the wars of American lies, followed by Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and thanks to your decisions, our country participated in the front line in crimes against humanity in order to overthrow, every time, every time, progressive and moderate regimes and to replace them with Islamist regimes, whose first desire was to impose Sharia law."

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always."

-Mahatma Ghandi 

The powers that be will never admit it seems until every last tyrant and minion is swinging from a lamppost or tree, but the realizations amongst the persecuted are occurring each day.  The dastardly violent false flag attacks are poorly planned and covered up even worse.  Too many skeptics are pointing too many fingers and exposing the lies.  People are solving the riddle of their slavery and impoverishment.  Soon, it won't be the minority who desires peace and freedom and is unafraid to proclaim it; that group will be the majority. 


A French soldier waits during
the invasion of Mali, January 2013
It is disappointing to see these pathetic creatures try to continue to implement their stupid measures of control.  It is clear, the enemies of the people cannot give it up their fraudulent, comical agenda because they have made a pledge to powers above them to fulfill their mission and their failure will probably mean their demise, anyway.  And so they struggle on in futility.  Whether it is continuing to promote their phony global warming science, funding their totalitarian police state, or taxing the working poor into destitute poverty, most officials have no courage and obey the bidding of their masters.

Congratulations to Mr. Laurent Louis, today, for breaking ranks with the filthy scum of the earth and speaking truth to power.

A Permanent End To Empire's Permanance

                                             
"My reason teaches me that land cannot be sold. The Great Spirit gave it to his children to live upon. So long as they occupy and cultivate it, they have a right to the soil. Nothing can be sold but such things as can be carried away."

-Black Hawk, Native American 

When historians examine the so-called "great civilizations" of generations past, few argue or question the aggressive tactics of the imperialist armies or destruction of the land unless it suits their interests.  Perhaps that is why so many Roman ruins remain in the world today-  the sturdy construction of rocks is a sign of the permanence of empire.  The leading forces that hold the financial system in their hands want people to remember, respect, marvel at, and even worship the ruins built by human slave labor combined with nobility's sense of entitlement.  Why bother asking why when it is more beneficial for the powerful to offer up grandiose spectacles to intimidate the masses into awe of the will of imperialism and racism? 


ancient roman ruins in Aphamia, Syria
Remember, the people can no longer live in or near the old ruins, and much of the land has been already "used up" by permanent empire.  Periods of time which the empire likes to call "growth periods" are when the king, or, in our present case, the privately-owned Federal Reserve, prints a lot of government-script debt notes to fund far-reaching construction projects.  Millions of debt slaves scurry frantically working sometimes 100 hours a week to get as much government script as possible.  Most debt slaves will tell you, in their zombie-like trance, that it was good when they had their slave job and they wish the king would decree another hole be dug and filled in again.  The screws have been tightened so much so that slaves can only relate their happiness to receiving a paycheck which lets them exist in a completely paved-over, lighted world.  There seems to be no escaping the matrix.  


A subdivision of McMansions
But the land responds poorly to concrete, asphalt and permanent houses next to one another in perfect geometric shapes.  Eventually, the lust and gratification of building new houses wears off, as structures cannot be large or flamboyant enough in a society that promotes greed and insatiable consumerism.  The McMansion craze of the housing boom was yet another banker boondoggle- a last ditch effort to claim and control even more land through the banks' bastard creation, the subdivision.

Since the housing crash, what has been left in the wake has been living spaces; some of them large, some small, all empty, devoid of people.  People have moved in, changed the locks, and been accused by the banks of theft.

 Jurors decide fate of DeKalb 'sovereign citizens'    
By Jodie Fleischer
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —

A DeKalb County jury is deciding the fate of three men indicted for racketeering, after a Channel 2 Action News investigation. Channel 2 first exposed a group of so-called "sovereign citizens" in 2010, for signing fake deeds to themselves and then moving into foreclosed homes.

"If I deprive anybody of their property or life, liberty ... I have a right to go to jail. Send me on my way," Eliyshuwa Yisrael testified Wednesday.

Yisrael is acting as his own attorney in the case, which initially included 11 other defendants. Several have already pleaded guilty and were called as witnesses.

Jermaine Gibson and Richard Jenkins are also on trial. Prosecutors allege the three remaining defendants were the ringleaders of the scheme.

Another defendant, Joseph Dion Lawler, has not been seen since the group was indicted. Prosecutors have a signed warrant for his arrest.

From the stand, Yisrael didn't deny taking the properties, including a $13 million shopping center in Buckhead, but said he didn't harm anyone in the process.

"I haven't had anyone come and testify that I have taken their property, not one human being," said Yisrael, "The indictment says there are victims, where are these victims?"

As a sovereign citizen, he tried to convince the jury the banks, which were the documented owners of the properties, should not have been allowed to own them in the first place.

"Only people can enter into a contract, not corporations, because a corporation cannot sign or give verbal instructions," Yisrael told the jury.

Prosecutors argued the group targeted bank-owned homes because they were vacant and the men could move right in. A Channel 2 Action News investigation in 2010 tied the men to 18 different properties across eight Georgia counties.

"He told me he owned the property and he was going to take possession and he told me in the same conversation that somehow he was going to make sure I lost my real estate license," testified Realtor Lynn Erdely.

"Mr. Jenkins called me and said he had seen my notes at the house and he was going to have me arrested for trespassing on his property," said Realtor Janice Morris, of Waynesboro.

Jenkins also represented himself and questioned co-defendants who had already pleaded guilty. Kenith Rey told the jury he paid Jenkins and Yisrael to help him take over a $3 million home in Sandy Springs.

"Yisrael was a friend of mine and we traded money, and you got money from me, so don't play games," Rey answered Jenkins on cross examination.

Yisrael told Rey, "I never received any money from you."

"You have received money from me, that's a lie," Rey replied.

Jermaine Gibson elected not to testify. His defense attorney, Adeline Alexander, told jurors racketeering charges were designed for mafia-style cases, and were too serious for this case.

"This case breaks my heart a little bit. These aren't the gentlemen, this isn't the crime, this isn't the offense that RICO was designed to punish," said Alexander.

The jury will resume deliberations Thursday morning.

On Destructive Imperialism

                                           
Wind farm near Rock River, Wyoming.  Inefficient and
aesthically ugly, the latest boondoggle
 by the leading world rapists  
"In order to get power and attain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not connected with goodness but with qualities that are the opposite of goodness, such as pride, cunning and cruelty."

-Leo Tolstoy   

The pundits, downtown in their flashy television studios prepare daily to lie, spread fear, and attempt to cajole the wild horse of public sentiment in concert with the views of their masters.  Dressed in their finest purple, the color of imperialism, the talking heads of the monolithic corporate media assuage scepticism, pressure dissenters, and most importantly, misdirect the public as the economic elite fleece the world. 

Don't expect the media to aggressively pursue the true injustices; they are are in cahoots with the thieves.  The media has covered up the secrets of the monetary system from the beginning and any attempt that at first appears to be populist is actually just another technique used by the manipulators to garner more influence.

Mount Rushmore-  U.S. Presidents carved into the
granite of the Black Hills- on land that was conceded to the
Indians in "perpetuity" according to the
Laramie Treaty of 1868 but then stolen back
The imperialism, the domination, the destruction-  it all has to end.  The future looks bleak unless difficult decisions are made and large injustices are reversed. 

Urban expansion and development is ruining the Earth and the elite see no point in stopping.  Any time they see an opportunity to print more money and pass it out to their friends to destroy the natural landscape and add concrete, they seize it.  All the people in the world, except the few who continue to ruin the world with impunity, have been confined to a "reservation."  Like the American Indians of the nineteenth century, ALL Americans are now being herded mostly by currency control and price manipulation.

Trump's stupid course, on what 
were the "Great Dunes of Scotland" 
So you really enjoy living by the sea but you can't afford the beachfront property?  Too bad you aren't an insider with the Federal Reserve like Donald Trump.  If you were, you'd be able to steal farms from people in Scotland, and open up an elitist golf course. 

Anthony Baxter, who made a film about the injustice, had this to say about Trump's surreal invasion, "It struck me as extraordinary that both of the two newspapers in Aberdeen completely ignored the environmental impacts this would have. Instead, they were raving about how this is going to be great for Scotland and bring lots of jobs — welcoming Donald Trump with open arms, as were the local politicians to a large extent."

Another example of uncompromising greed is fossil fuel magnate Bill Koch's Colorado Wild West town.  Koch's "town" will not be open to the public.  Nor will it be seen, if Koch has his way.  He is in private talks with the government over swapping them other lands for those close to his simulated Wild West town.

The American people and the rest of the people in the world understand there are different rules for different people.  This is the stage of empire in which most of the people are numb to the injustice until it directly impacts their life.  They have listened to lie after lie and watch the futures of their children be traded away in a phony game based on nepotism, privilege, and racist ideology.
