Riot Control Tactics
The tactics used to control riots in the past were simple — they were based on the fact that the police were almost always better-armed than the rioters. The tactics they used basically consisted of forming a line and charging into the crowd. Today, the police are still well-armed, but tactics have advanced significantly in hopes of preventing injuries.
When a riot...

Dox: How the US government 'Frames' it's Somalia...

First, it surfaces a set of eight master narratives carefully selected based on their potency in the Somali context and relevance to US strategic interests. Second, this report follows a consistent structure for articulating these narratives and explicitly identifies initial implications for US communicators and...

So we have a direct connection there. And we can also base what’s going on in Syria with reports that fighters in Libya have joined rebel groups inside Syria, so that we have an international network of extremist fighters that first earned their stripes, if you will, in Afghanistan during the CIA Operation Cyclone Phoenix against the government of Afghanistan and their...

You have to ask yourself:”Why is the US Treasury Secretary addressing a meeting of “Friends of Syria” and making foreign policy pronouncements?”“At a meeting of the 55-country “Friends of Syria” group in Washington, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged other countries to unilaterally impose harsher sanctions on Syria, rather than waiting for action...

Tactical Briefing: #Occupy Morphs - Let A 100,000... →
In its own sweet way, our movement is now moving beyond the Zuccotti model and developing a tactical imperative of its own: Small groups of fired up second generation occupiers acting independently, swiftly and tenaciously pulling off myriad visceral local actions, disrupting capitalist business-as-usual across the globe.
The next big bang to capture the world’s imagination could come not from...

Fractional Reserve Banking IS NOT the problem...... →
As I’ve been saying to anyone who spouts off about it… Fractional Reserve Banking IS NOT the problem. Institutionally, any sane government can plan for an ROI on their long term investments to cover the ‘fractional currency’ created… but GAMBLING on those typically EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE investments is a BIG PROBLEM, and NOTHING ANY administration has done in recent...

U.S. Continues To Dumb Down Their "Organic Food"... →
I alway knew this was going on behind the scenes because it’s well known that the feds IMMEDIATELY dumbed down “Organic”, by their standards, to mean what was previously referred to as “Natural”. But what I’ve been wondering is when the feds are going to attempt to override State certification orgs like CCOF and Oregon Tilth, declaring the federal power to...

There’s a problem with single-sourcing information to make wars by. But it’s only a problem for you… your nation’s legitimacy in the eyes of the world… your tax dollar… and your children.
