Identifying The True Terrorist Threat
Who Gets To Say Who The Real Domestic Threat Is To The United States?
NewsFocus Op/Ed, by Tim Watts - 121611

As the fictitious newscaster Howard Beal said to his captive studio audience in the 1976 movie Network, "Woe is us, we're in a lot of trouble!" He then went on to elaborate on his dire warning by saying, "Because you people and 62-million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books. Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole --there is an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube."

And so it goes with today's society. The Oscar nominated movie was right on the mark with its characterization of modern America. It was no accident for that assessment to be made. They knew full well 35 years ago about the threat that a corrupt media posed to an open society.

Call it blind trust of our media, lack of intellectual curiosity, blinding ignorance, or blatant stupidity, it is because of these shortcomings that we are held in the dark on matters of politic and state. And most Americans are indeed very uninformed. Whatever the cause, be it our collective misplaced faith, our naiveté, philistinism, nescience, or just a weak idiotic outlook, it has undeniably become a crippling barrier to understanding for many. This damning myopia has become a literal shackle that prevents many from reaching enlightenment as to the true evil that controls and governs our world. It is this societal character flaw that is the root cause for the trouble we are in today.

If you're clueless, don't give a damn, or are just plain gullible, you're in a lot of trouble, to paraphrase Beal. The people fitting this category have created a divide in this country between those who know the truth, and those tragically misled with criminal lies and a distorted revisionist history. These tragically unenlightened Americans are ultimately a huge problem in the grand scheme of things. They are the subset of society that our crooked politicians and white collar criminals exploit and prey upon so easily.

It's hard to fathom how these people can argue about hidden truths when they don't even realize that they've been lied to. These uninformed people are just as dangerous to society as the actual criminals themselves because they are the enablers, the ones who make it possible to buy Goebbels' big lie.

The point to all of this is, we have a grand deception of epic proportions that currently blinds a significant segment of this country with an illusory world within a world. A false perception of reality exists for many. Those who actually know the real truth are lucky to be physically conscious after beating their heads into a brick wall for so long out of their sheer frustration. Ignorance may be bliss to some, but it's quite disconcerting to those who know better.

Folks, we have a divide in this country and it is a serious problem for all of us, one which is very clearly our Achilles' heal. On one side we have the unenlightened TV sitcom lemmings of America who refuse to believe anything that doesn't come from Beal's tube. On the other we have those who are well read, who don't accept that which is spoon-fed to them from a disingenuous, if not criminally corrupt media. This has created contention and adversity as those in the dark unfairly accuse the enlightened of wearing tinfoil hats.

Those beguiled by the lie staunchly refuse to listen to those trying to awaken them, instead resorting to obtuse slander and half-witted accusations of "conspiracy theory." This term has to be the most intellectually deficient argument ever concocted, for it is in itself extremely ignorant and devoid of reason, totally forsaking the evil aspect of man. Those who stoop to such a moronic rebuttal try to infer that conspiracy does not exist. Instead they are quite willing and content to accept horrific high crimes of state as mere coincidence, refusing to accept that two or more persons could ever come together to commit such elaborate criminal ventures. These people can best be described as fools and "coincidence theorists."

Our history is littered with innumerable high crimes, which, when presented to those without knowledge, tend to leave their heads reeling in disbelief. They have been taught so many lies that they are humanly incapable of grasping the enormous extent of their deception. This is a daunting obstacle to overcome, one which those of the criminal elite exploit and build upon. One lie begins to perpetuate the next lie, forming a foundation of deception and deceit, creating a false base of historical inaccuracy and unsubstantiated fact.

It is as Sir Winston Churchill correctly explained, "The victor writes the history."

With this basic premise in mind, those in the dark have to ask themselves who has the power to hide the truth, to maintain such an enduring deception? The only reasonable answer is those of immense wealth. Money is power in this world. It is the power to buy office, or corrupt those within. It is the power to own the printed word, the printing presses of our publishing institutions and our nation's newspapers. It is the power to write history.

In today's modern world, it is the power to own our media. Those in the dark need to understand who controls the mechanism to disseminate the grand lie. We have but six corporations that own our entire media system. This essentially means that we have six CEO's who tell us what truth is and what news is. Understanding this reality is the simple key to enlightenment. Once the truth-challenged of society get this, the sooner we will be able to root out the evil that corrupts our world.

A complicit media is a necessary accessory for high crime and is every bit as guilty as those criminals perpetrating the act. They alone have the power to persuade the gullible and the ignorant, even those of intellect, but the latter are generally harder to convince because they work with reason. That doesn't mean the intellects cannot be fooled, however, the distinction between them and the others is that when presented with the truth, they are more often than not better equipped to add two plus two.

And then of course there's another famous saying by another enterprising American ... "There's a sucker born every minute." -PT Barnum

So now I'm going to lay some truth on you, but I must forewarn you, do not believe me. You must seek these truths out on your own, for a truth learned is much stronger than a truth told. You must take the time to research and find out for yourself. To do this you first have to put the TV remote down and step away from the tube. Don't expect to find the truth in our history books either, for they are owned by the ultra-wealthy who benefit from the big lie.

The internet is a tremendous avenue to seek out the truth, if you know how to do a proper search. Be aware though that your search today will be much harder than it was for others ten years ago. The internet is becoming more controlled each and every day, especially with the main search engines, such as Google and Bing. These are owned by the powers that be, and they have started hiding the truth with their search engines. You will have to be diligent in wading through many search pages before you find the nugget that allows you a glimpse of the truth, and the key to a more refined search that brings you closer to more truth.

The quest for hidden truth isn't always easy, especially when some are making a concerted effort to hide it from you, but it is rewarding once you find it on your own.

Now, for those truths that I mentioned. I will tell you up front that to many, these things are disturbing, but they are provable. Our world is very much like the film, "The Matrix." It is a reality that has purposefully been hidden from you, so be prepared for dramatic revelations and a few epiphanies along the way. Please bear with me on this section because it lays the foundation for what I am about to propose, the gist of this article.

First off, the US Civil War was not about slavery. It was an engineered division by the Rothschild banking cartel to take our country over through a central banking system. This is what Lincoln fought and was killed for. Rather than accept the banker's high interest rates to finance the war, Lincoln decided to coin his own money, the Lincoln Greenbacks. These interest free bills allowed Lincoln to fight the war without falling into exorbitant debt. This angered the Rothschild bankers and Lincoln was assassinated as a result.

The fight for a central bank endured years after the war, with Garfield and McKinley also murdered in an effort to resurrect a US central bank that Andrew Jackson had defeated in 1832. The post Civil War reconstruction era was perhaps the most tumultuous, yet least explained by our history books. Three American Presidents were assassinated in a span of just 36 years as the Rothschild bankers fought for a US central bank.

In 1910, a wealthy group of bankers, backed by the Rothschilds, met in secret at Jekyll Island to plot a treasonous coup d'etat of the United States. The Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Warburg, and Kuhn Loeb bankers were among those in attendance. They were aided by Senator Nelson Aldrich in one of the most treasonous acts ever against our country, but it would not be their last, for every great act of treason since has been perpetrated by this group. In 1913 the coup was successful as they were finally able to establish a new US central bank, the Federal Reserve system.

From this steeply financed cabal grew all the evils that soon befell our nation. The great depression was engineered by this powerful group, as today's economic collapse has also been manufactured. JP Morgan started a rumor that a New York bank was about to become insolvent, creating a public panic and beginning a run on the banks. This was the beginning of the great depression. It was used then, as today, to make the ultra-rich more powerful. It weakened industry so that this group could swoop in and buy up fledgling corporations for mere pennies on the dollar. Labor also became much cheaper, with which to run their newly purchased industries. It was a win-win for the bank cartel.

In 1934 a little known coup was launched against the US and Franklin Delano Roosevelt by those very same wealthy bankers, along with others of extreme American wealth. The group was said to include Prescott Bush, the father of George HW Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush. It was an attempt to overthrow the US government and replace it with a fascist style regime, much as was happening at the time in Nazi Germany. Retired General Smedley D. Butler was approached to help lead an army against the Capitol, but Butler turned on those who recruited him and helped expose the coup before it ever had a chance to succeed. A Congressional panel known as the McCormack-Dickstein Committee investigated the "business plot" and found it to be real, yet the wealthy of America were allowed to go scot-free.

All of our wars have been instigated by the Rothschild-Rockefeller Federal Reserve cartel, including World Wars I and II. They have been the beneficiary of these wars and have played both sides of the line to not only control the war effort, but to also profit handsomely. Many have now asserted that Pearl Harbor was a false flag coup to get the United States into the war and to provide an excuse to use the first atomic weapons for experimentation on a human populace, but also to establish US military might afterward.

Prescott Bush had a significant hand during and after WW II. He was the managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman, the US banker of Adolph Hitler's Third Reich. The US found the bank guilty under the Trading With The Enemy Act, whereupon Bush's assets and shares were seized. Bush was also one of the proponents of the OSS which later became the CIA, of which his son George HW Bush landed a job in the early 60's and would eventually become its Director. The elder Bush somehow managed to get elected as a Senator and from there was able to birth political life for the Bush family's hold over America.

Another coup against the US came in 1963 with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. While many now assess the blame on LBJ, he was said to be a puppet for the bankers of the Federal Reserve system. Kennedy had done a few things to anger the banking cartel that had taken over our country. He did not offer air support for their invasion of Cuba, he wanted to end US involvement in Viet Nam, and he threatened to break the CIA into a million pieces and cast it into the wind, but his biggest threat was to the Federal Reserve cartel. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 which created a new silver backed currency known as silver certificates. Kennedy also made his famous secret societies speech where he asked for the press' help in exposing the monolithic cabal that rules behind the scenes. He was murdered shortly thereafter. Author John Hankey ties George H.W. Bush to the assassination in his movie A Dark Legacy, as well as the attempted murder of Ronald Reagan. He also ties George W. Bush to the death of John F. Kennedy Jr.

The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was the first domestic attack on US soil, but it too has raised questions from many who allege that this was also another false flag attack. The Federal Murrah building was home to the FBI and the ATF. Mysteriously no ATF agents showed up for work that day. General Benjamin Parton, a demolitions expert examined the scene and testified that it was not a fertilizer bomb that destroyed the building. Timothy McVeigh was merely a patsy for a larger plot that mined the building with heavy duty explosives. Curiously enough, all of the Whitewater investigation files concerning the Clintons were coincidentally stored at the Murrah Building. A new movie titled A Noble Lie documents this story.

Arguably for many researchers, the largest coup to date has been the 9/11 attacks on the US. Scores of independent investigators, including this author, maintain that 9/11 was the largest false flag attack of them all. The result of the attacks on New York and Washington brought about the Wolfowitz-Bush doctrine of preemptive warfare where the US could now freely attack any opponent it chose, all in the name of the nebulous "War On Terror." It also brought about the largest assault ever on the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It has been viewed by many as the final assault on America, establishing a fascist state, moving one step further to the banking cartel's long planned new world order.

Say what you will about 9/11, but the anthrax attacks were the catalyst that pushed our elected representatives to cower in fear like little school children and pass the Patriot Act. Since Capitol Hill and Democrats were the main target, this was the tipping point for them to enable the US police state, so that they might be safer. Since the anthrax used was a highly weaponized version, investigators were able to track it back to a US Army lab at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, causing many to once again suspect a false flag event.

Aside from 9/11, the most damaging attacks came in the form of the 2008 economic collapse, believed by many to be engineered by the Bilderbergs, through Wall Street and the Federal Reserve cartel. This author also believes it was no accident and was an orchestrated collapse. Many feel that there is no way possible that this country's best and brightest financial minds could not see this coming. While it was triggered under the Bush-Cheney regime, it had its foundation laid under the Clinton administration with the reckless repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, paving the way for a ticking time-bomb in risky bank ventures and derivatives trading.

This brings us to the present and the main crux of this piece. I didn't go through that very brief history of treason without reason. I wanted to point out why the idea I'm proposing has legitimate merit. This nation has endured many treasonous high crimes of state that need to be accounted for.

With anti-Constitutional legislation already on the books through the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the Homegrown Terrorism Act, in 2011 senior Senators Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ) suddenly decided that the National Defense Authorization Bill (NDAA), typically a defense spending bill, needed a drastic revision to deal with terrorism in America. Much of the initiative and language of the amendment was redundant and already covered under the previous aforementioned Acts, however, the new amendments added a disturbing twist that the other bills did not contain, the usurpation of the Posse Comitatus Act by allowing military intervention on domestic soil to allegedly combat terrorism. As a result American citizens are now threatened by a US military which is meant to protect us.

Much of the outcry and fervor over the bill has centered around the indefinite detention of US citizens, but some, including this author, feel the unmistakable elephant in the room is the allowance of military force within the US for domestic law enforcement.

Many have decried the anti-Constitutional power of this legislation, such as the ACLU and Human Rights Watch, as well as the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the FBI and the head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. This is the first time that such power has been codified in a statute since the McCarthy era and the Internal Security Act of 1950. It is a dark omen for democracy.

It is very hard to believe that anyone could conceive of such a bill. It used to be that this country erred on the side of the Constitution and our Bill of Rights, preferring to deny any legislation that threatened American liberties, but that no longer appears to be the case. Now it's the other way around, they defer to oppressive force over our inalienable rights.

What's that old saying again? "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin,

Who would have ever thought that as oppressed societies in the Middle East were fighting for their rights to rise out of oppression, that we would be doing the same, yet sinking in the opposite direction?

What in the hell has happened in DC? You would almost think that the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Cheney, was still skulking the halls of Capitol Hill. This almost seems like legislation that he would be a part of, and quite sadly enough, it is! Cheney was seen emerging from a late November meeting on NDAA where a "spirited discussion" took place over whether to drop the oppressive language of the bill or to keep it in place.

Isn't he supposed to be out of office, hanging upside down in a dark cave somewhere?

How is it that war criminal Dick Cheney is allowed any authority or input on matters of state any longer? Shouldn't he be retired, frightening little children at a neighborhood park?

One thing is certain about the most infamous Dick to ever hold office, his momma was prescient enough to name him accordingly.

Fortunately for "we the people" some of our representatives do take their oath seriously and have worked on our behalf. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said, “Should we err today and remove some of the most important checks on state power in the name of fighting terrorism, well, then the terrorists have won”

His father, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has said the NDAA was worded in such a way that allowed the government to detain the US citizens indefinitely without trial, and that the act institutionalized martial law, jeopardizing the freedom of the US citizens. Paul has called on US citizens to wake up to what he calls, the arrogance of the administration.

Congressman Justin Amash, (R-MI) one of only five House Republicans to vote against the bill calls it, “one of the most anti-liberty pieces of legislation of our lifetime.” He further said, “It is destructive of our Constitution.”

One of the best Congressman to ever serve this country and "we the people," Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is extremely critical and very vocal regarding this legislation.

“This bill authorizes permanent warfare anywhere in the world. It gives the president unchecked power to pursue war. It diminishes the role of this Congress. The founders saw Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which places in the hands of Congress the war power, as essential to a check and balance against the executive abuse of power. This legislation diminishes Congress' role in that regard.”

“This legislation authorizes the military to indefinitely detain individuals without charge or trial, including the detention of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. In short, what this bill does is it takes a wrecking ball to the United States Constitution and gives enormous power to the government or the state. I want friends on both sides of the aisle to understand this; we are giving the state more power over individuals with this bill. It’s the wrong direction.”

“Our children deserve a world without end, not a war without end. Our children deserve a world where they know the government will protect them, that it is not going to rule over them by invading their very thoughts and going, as the PATRIOT Act does, going into their banking records or into their educational records. We have to keep the government out of people's lives and stop the government from getting more into war which gives the government more control over people. This is the time we take a stand for the Constitution and a stand for a government which is smaller when it comes on matters of war.”

Even though supporters of this bill say the requirement to detain a person in military custody does not extend to the citizens of the United States, Amash and the ACLU both have said that the language of the bill is carefully crafted to mislead the public.

Proponents of the bill say that this is just not the case and that they have addressed the concerns, however, none have ventured to provide proof that these concerns have been ameliorated. As Senator McCain has pointed out, it was the White House that wanted these powers in place. Try as they may to convince us otherwise, they wanted to keep this language intact for a reason, otherwise they wouldn't have fought so hard to keep the bill as it was laid out, denying amendments from Senators Paul, Udall and Feinstein.

With all of this in mind, I got to thinking, the language in this NDAA bill is ironically suited more for many of our politicians and leaders than it is for "we the people." So here we go, a proposal to use this bill the right way, to fight the real terrorists in America.

The NDAA defines who can be targeted, but those who have investigated crimes of state, such as the OKC bombing and the 9/11 attacks, feel this bill applies very well to those suspected covert rogue forces within the US government who are accused of engineering these false flag attacks. Let's take a look and see how this bill could apply to those crimes that I noted previously above.

(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.

(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

Shall apply to any person whose detention is authorized under section 1031 who is determined-- (B) to have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.

That seems pretty clear enough. If anything, it fits better for those who participated in high crimes and treason than it does for ordinary US citizens. Since the CIA created Al Qaeda, I would say that our leaders fit this better than anyone else.

So let's get to the gist of this piece, using the NDAA to our advantage. Let's have all those of power who have conspired against our country, taken into custody and tried for treason! It would appear that with the NDAA, they've thrown their own noose over the tree limb.

With this in mind, I have taken the liberty of preparing a list of those we could start with.

As far as the rest of the world goes, the Rothschild family needs to be rounded up. This entire family of bankers must be arrested. There has been no greater threat to mankind than this family. The horrors that they have inflicted upon mankind are too many to count. They must be arrested and stripped of their stolen fortune under a proposal that I have named The Robin Hood Act. All of these political criminals mentioned must be stripped of their wealth.

Next on the international scene would be the Bilderberg members, including George Soros and Rupert Murdoch, the Queen of England, Prince Charles, Queen Beatrix, and many others.

Just as guilty, we need to go after the enablers, those gutless members of the media who have turned their backs on the truth and given safe cover to the guilty for years.

And while we're at it, disbar all Supreme Court judges and gut the US judicial system.

Last but not least, we need to round up past and present members of the House and Senate who were not only complicit, but eager participants in undoing this country.

The charge for all the above has to be treason. And this would be the one time to listen to Lindsey Graham, "If you're an American citizen and you betray your country, you're not going to be given a lawyer."

What I'm proposing is not a new idea. American-Japanese finance journalist Ben Fulford, formerly of Forbes magazine, has been talking of an ongoing war between white hats and black hats of the military and intelligence community with these aims as their goal. Others have echoed the same thoughts, however, some have suggested amnesty rather than prosecution. To this I say categorically, NO, NO, and absolutely @#%* NO!

There is no way that we can give a pass to those who have committed endless atrocities upon society. Absolutely not! These mass murderers, pedophiles, torturers and rapists deserve what they get. They are responsible for untold suffering through years of human rights violations. They must be punished.

It is quite obvious that these powers that be are running scared, otherwise they wouldn't be putting all the effort they have into oppressive legislation to hold us down. They have advanced non-lethal weaponry for crowd control, not to mention the most state of the art exotic weaponry at their disposal, and yet now they've had to change our laws against us.

They do have fear. We outnumber them by 300-million to 1 in the US, but it is not us that they fear as much as it is the military and intelligence community that has every bit the technical capability and power that they have. The only way to fight power is with equal or greater power. Make no mistake about it, they do fear this.

While they are very close to having their new world order, there are encouraging signs that they are not fully omnipotent just yet. The fact that those designated as war criminals still have to move carefully as they travel internationally, or cancel their trips altogether, out of fear of arrest, is very encouraging. Those who have had to do so include the former Bush presidents, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger and Tony Blair. So these criminals do have fear.

Again, it is not us so much that they fear, as it is those of us who have power, such as the military, intelligence, and law enforcement. If they didn't fear this power they would have already enacted a full police state overnight, rather than incrementally as they have. Right now it appears that our military is waking up. One can only hope that the Ben Fulford story is indeed true. It gives us hope.

To quote one of the most evil people of our time, "When we are successful --and we will be," we will finally rid this world of the soulless parasites that feed off the rest of society and we will realize a new era where mankind is truly free.

This nation hasn't had turmoil like this since the US Civil War. The powers that be are purposefully collapsing our economy while stealing our rights away from us. If you don't recognize this then you're just not paying attention. As if the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the Homegrown Terrorism Act weren't enough, now we're being attacked with SOPA, PIPA, SIP, and the NDAA. They have declared war on us. Unless we take a stand now, things are only going to get much worse. It's time to turn the tables. Let's use the NDAA on the real terrorists of this country and the world.

Just Imagine If The Democrats Would Have Picked The People's Choice, Instead Of Picking A Candidate Supported By The Banks
