United States Govt. a Failure. When will People React?
Syn | 4:02 AM on 09.18.2008 26 comments




This entry could probably get pretty long, so at least watch the above 10 minute video and draw your own conclusions from it. It's extremely important that people see the farce that our government has become and that it must be put down. Here's the skinny of it, taken from the YouTube page that the video is from:

(Waxman is the Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Which means that he's the one that is supposed to catch our government's "Oversights" if you know what I mean. Keep this in mind.)
[i]Waxman attended a town hall meeting at the Westside Pavilion Landmark Theater building in Santa Monica, CA, where he spoke to over one hundred attendees, then answered questions.

During the question and answer period, Rep. Waxman is bombarded with question after question concerning Sibel Edmonds (the gagged FBI Whistleblower) and other issues related to the treasonous crimes of 9/11.[/i]

However in addition to 9/11 and Sibel Edmonds, the Rep was asked questions regarding H.R. 1955 and why it passed the House with hardly any resistance at all. The Rep then admitted that he didn't even bother to read the bill and that it was in the non-controversial pile (sic). Furthermore he is questioned about impeaching President Bush, to which his replies amount to about as much as "We can't do it."

What the hell. The man has allowed and even pushed things like The Patriot Act Which already nullifies many of our freedoms if we happen to be the unlucky individual that gets singled out. Sadly enough, this is the work of Democrats. For a better understanding of H.R. 1955 see the below video.



In the video, the transcript of the bill is shown, broken down, and defined plainly. The bill defines "Homegrown Terrorism" as "the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." as well as the amended definition of Force and how it is different from violence. Note that entry B of definition 3 states "Moral Strength". And I hate to directly quote the video you just watched but I feel it must be said more than once. So again, acknowledge that "Homegrown Terrorism" is the use, planned use, or threatened use, of intellectual power or vigor, or the use, planned use, or threatened use of a logical argument. That means you can be ARRESTED for making a logical argument that convinces the government, or a regular person, to "further a political or social objective" such as smearing the government. And it just gets worse from there.

For further information regarding H.R. 1955, this time, involving the internet:


Now we take a look at American Concentration Camps, which you can get more detailed information from the video below. The fact that these facilities even exist is absurd, further, that they have been maintained and even updated, or OUTFITTED with new equipment that has nothing to do with the facility's original purpose or any necessary purpose for that matter. Now, here is the video followed by the video description taken from the youtube page:



[i]The (above) video was recently sent to me, and after the shock wore off I started researching this video and story line behind it. What I have learned and seen has lead me to believe Soon they will convince the American people a state of anarchy exists within the major cities, Due to a wave of alleged crime sweeping the nation and false threats from abroad. They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in newspapers. When public opinion has been won over to this idea they intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the United States and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. The government will then suspend the Constitution and declare martial law.
All dissidents, which translated into anyone they choose, will be rounded up and will be placed in concentration camps which already exist throughout the country.
The media, radio, TV, newspapers, and computer networks will be nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be taken or killed. This entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in 1984 under the code name REX-84 and it went off without a hitch. When these events have transpired the secret government takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never be returned and you will live in slavery for the remainder of your life. You had better wake up and you had better do it now.[/i]

There is a pattern that can be seen. The government has been working to one-by-one remove our freedoms, but has been careful to not yet use the power that we have allowed it to grant itself against people on a large scale because there may still be something that can be done. And it won't happen until Martial Law is declared which puts civil liberties on hold anyway. But when it happens we will have already allowed legislation to remove them, thus leaving the country in a totalitarian state.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, I know a few. One friend of mine in particular is beyond belief with his conspiracy theories about aliens, super advanced technology and whatnot. And even still when I hear people talking about the New World Order, underground cities, population control, world domination plots...it still sounds far-fetched...but not nearly as far-fetched as it did yesterday. We can't ignore what is going on any more, knowledge and information need desperately to be spread. We can't complacently sit back with "...such bedeviled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil" (thank you for that, Dimmu Borgir).

Also it would seem that the military has been training to enforce Martial Law for at least a decade now. The video below, made in April, 2000 (that's BEFORE 9/11). Shows troops being trained to take over neighborhoods and search random people's cars that happened to have to drive through their checkpoints to get home.



It's clear that the United States government expects that at some point the population of the country may become chaotic and lawless and in need of an iron fist to keep us in line. What might cause such an uprising you ask? Perhaps the utter obliteration of the US Economy? What happens when everyone is out of work? They lose their assets, property gets re-possessed by banks. What happens when those same banks fail? They get bought out by bigger corporations, which are all owned by only a handful of people, which means all the money will be controlled by only that handful of people.

For even MOAR information, of course you can google just about anything, but also look up Jello Biafra and Noam Chomsky. Both have predicted and spoken out about the way the country has been going for many years now. Jello for one began in the early 80's.

Now, I have been at this for 3 hours, and I'm going to wrap it up with one more video and then a couple of quotes that I think are just awesome. And a couple of movies you should seek out on your own: Zeitgeist and America: Freedom to Fascism. I understand both can be found for free on Google Video. But there is still so much more that we need to find out. I intentionally don't explore all the information available, simply because there is so much, but I think things like WTC Building 7, and Executive Orders are better left for people to find out with their own eyes.



"I am asking your help, in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people."

"Dissent is the Highest form of Patriotism." Thomas Jefferson
"People should not be afraid of their Governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." The Terrorist V

I have a bad feeling too. The US has been on thin ice for awhile now and it seems that the country is on a "act now, thinks later " mindset.

good read. At least you don't pay the taxes we do over here (UK) ;)

Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
I appreciate the fact that you put a lot of work into this, and I actually read most of it, but is a video game blog really the best outlet for this kind of thing? I come here to read about Mega Man, not Noam Chomsky.
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Sorry, but the richest people in the world have very little incentive to be masters of a crappy universe. If they collapse economies, who will buy their shit? Who will manufacture their gold-plated toilets?

Often the biggest perpetuators of misinformation are conspiracy theorists, because they have so much invested in perpetuating their paranoid view of the world that they refuse to see contradictory evidence, and are uniquely able to cabin dissenting viewpoints as lies that are further proof of a conspiracy. Be careful. It looks like you're peering into the abyss, and that's not secret knowledge floating at the bottom.
TheDreadHawk's Destructoid Blog
I was expecting a Green Day-fueled piece of crap MySpace-esque blog about how Bush sucks and stuff. What I got was a lot of good information and good points.

However, I do agree with Char, this is a video game site, it's not the best place for political blogs, you know?

Even though I don't agree with most of what you posted. I must say, that Amtrak station looks eerily similar to the City 17 processing area.

I come here to get away from bullshit, like politics.

Get out.

Whats with the hate? I'm worried the whole economy will collapse, then how am I gonna power my TV and Console? So it is game related, the OP just forgot to mention that.
I applaud your search for knowledge. Just take the stuff on Prison Planet with a grain of salt, some of it is very factually based, some of it is not so much.

Yes, the collapse is coming, sooner than later.

Yeah, be careful with Alex Jones.

You have just been added to the "Do Watch" list at the Pentagon.

Also, Jello Biafra is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything. He ran for Mayor of San Francisco with the slogan: "There's always room for Jello." That's awesome.

Something big is going to happen in our lifetime, that's for sure. You better practice up on your Fallout 3 when it comes out. Then you'll be ready for it.

As for my contingency plan...
I'm just going to hop on the Hardon Collider and transport myself to whatever realm Willow and Madmartigan live in.

Brilliant read!
We need more people who can spread the word and encourage change, and not just some empty promises.
Syn's Destructoid Blog
@Char and TheDreadHawk: You're right this totally isn't the place for political blogs, but I don't really know any other way to spread information. And it's gotta be done.


But if I all of a sudden disappear at least the world will be a little more interesting.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Hey man, I ain't mad at ya, and I'm never one to stifle expression or intelligent thought. It's just that your message would probably be received better in other areas of the internet, where people would be more likely to debate with you or take this kind of thing seriously. I would hate to see all your work go to waste because of people who react with "TL; DR."
Syn's Destructoid Blog
I understand. The problem with it though is that the "usual channels" for this sort of thing clearly aren't working. Otherwise none of this would be an issue (or so I'd like to think). And generally when I find out something I feel is important I like to go to my friends with it first because they're the ones I feel NEED to know whats going on, because the people involved are imbeciles (as you can see). And I figure if I manage to educate at least a chunk of the gaming crowd they will in turn educate their friends and so on and so forth.

It's exciting though, I don't blog at all and I'm happy at even the number of people that have read this that didn't know and the lack of being flamed. You guys rock \m/

The "train yard" in the 4th video is not unique to Indiana. Places like these alledgedly (i say that because i have not sen them with my own eyes) exist in Arizona, California, Utah, and Washington, not to mention many other places. Mostly they are reportedly old structures like closed army bases, and hospitals that have been renovated to serve as detainment facilities in case of a "mass exodus" of illegal immigrants. You have to ask yourself why it would be necessary to detain illegals who are attempting to leave as illegal immigration is a current "epidemic" that "threatens our American way of life". It would seem that if a mass exodus occurred then the immigration issue would be solved. One explanation of this paradox would be to substitute "illegal immigrant" with "American citizen that seeks refuge elsewhere" or "domestic terrorist" or "free thinker" or any number of descriptions of people who ask questions. Our government has our rights by the balls and they are not letting go. With every fear inducing event that occurs, either within our borders or without, they ask for more. And instead of us standing up and saying "FUCK YOU" we hand them over willingly as long as our "way of life" and "freedoms" are preserved. As long as our cable television still broadcasts Fox News, and we can still buy our consumer products with ease. Why? Because most people in this country either blindly follow whatever the media tells them to, or feel too overpowered by fear or whatever you would like to call it to do anything. As an example, search youtube for "Ron Paul fox news style". Now consider what happened to his campaign after this blacklisting began. And what will happen at the polls in November? People will vote for one of two people, as if they don't have a choice, as if voting for someone they believe in doesn't matter because a third party or write-in candidate could NEVER win, right? I'm not saying Ron Paul is the answer. I AM saying though, that if you believe in Ron Paul, vote for Ron Paul. If you believe in Obama, vote for Obama. If you believe in McCain, vote for McCain. But don't, and I can't stress this enough, DON'T vote for someone you don't believe in just because you don't want "the other guy" to win. If you do that, then you are truly wasting your vote, and your duty as a citizen of this country (not that it matters anyhow as the popular vote doesn't ultimately dictate the winner of a presidential election, the Electoral College has that decision in their hands. See the 2000, and 2004 elections). Thanks for raising your voice Syn, seriously. I know this is not a political site, but here are your peers, people with a strong common interest to you, and some even may be your friends. Its good to have an opinion, and even better to express that opinion to your peers.

"I'm no conspiracy theorist..."

Could have fooled me. You're worrying WAY too much here dude. Don't let lunatics on the internet infect you with their craziness.

Zeitgeist and America: Freedom to Fascism are both filled with paranoia nonsense and factual inaccuracies. They're barely above Loose Change on the bullshit scale. Any moderate amount of research on the claims made by the films will show this.

Jello Biafra has supported some good causes, but he's also batshit crazy and just plain wrong about more issues than I can count. And Noam Chomsky is quite possibly the stupidest intellectual on the planet. Gee whiz, a couple of self-described anarchist socialists oppose the government and claim we're heading towards a police state? Color me surprised. Much of what they advocate would mean less freedom for the individual, not more.

I'm not one to completely trust the government, but at the same time I'm not one to believe the worst possible scenarios that seem to come straight out of a bad Hollywood movie. Especially when you consider the sources that are making the claims. Do the digging yourself, use logical thinking, and don't buy something just because there's a YouTube video about it.
moot button's Destructoid Blog
Zeitgeist is also filled with a lot of factual facts (specifically the history of the Federal Reserve, which is scary enough in itself) which are more than often ignored because of the massive editorializing and opining they do throughout the video. I agree with you though Mxyzptlk, if you don't investigate for yourself all you have is another person's version of the facts( which is ultimately unavoidable without a time machine). There is nothing compared to direct experience and empirical evidence.
