Right now we NEED a U.S. General Smedley Butler. ~ Super Patriot, 2 time medal of Honor Hero and Whistle blower Extraordinaire‘. . . EDITOR
That war is a racket has been told us by many, but rarely by one of this stature. Though he wrote the landmark book War is a Racket in 1935, the highly decorated U.S. General Smedley Butler (two esteemed Medals of Honor) deserves to be heralded for this timeless message, which rings true today more than ever. Below is an engaging two-page summary.

WAR IS A RACKET – by General Smedley Butler
War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. In the World War [World War I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted huge gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows. [Please note these are 1935 U.S. dollars. To adjust for inflation, multiply all figures X 15 or more] . . .

In 1933, Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler was approached by wealthy industrialists and bankers who were plotting to create a fascist veterans organization called the “American Liberty League” and use it in a coup d’état to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, . . . From description published with video.
This video tells the whole story behind a fascist coup that was mounted against President Franklin Roosevelt and the United States of America in 1933 by various international banking interests and Wall Street Power Brokers. It also tells the story of a highly decorated U.S. General, Smedly Butler, who single handedly stopped this take over and saved our Republic.and the rest of the planet from a new dark age.
We are now seeing a repeat of this dastardly plan by the same international financial interests using their minions in both majority political parties who have sold out their constituents for large campaign funding donations that insure their continued participation in the very lucrative field of Washington Politics. We have ignored the ongoing corruption of our political system, brought on by the unregulated contribution of large financial donations from private interests, and now we face the imminent demise of our Republic as it is replaced by a Kleptocracy.

Had Holder’s thugs not been caught in this illegal gunrunning plan the blame for the guns being in Mexico would have been blamed on “lax gun laws” in the U.S which the controllers puppets would have spun into their gun control rhetoric.
Two years ago, federal agent John Dodson turned whistleblower and exposed a botched gun operation in Phoenix that led to senior-level resignations, 18 months of congressional investigations and the first vote in history by the House to hold a sitting attorney general in contempt of Congress.
I have chosen to now focus my energies on getting the facts together to expose the top hoaxers, and con artists within ufology. Why you mayask? Well … because I’m sick, and tired of these people who have done nothing but force feed the public lies!
That’s right you so called ufologists watch out! You know who you are. I’m tired of the lies, and tired of watching ufology get treated like a laughing stock by main stream media.
Why do they take it as a joke? Well it’s the direct result of the tainted history of ufology over the past half century that they jelled into their personally agenda. Get the rubes into the tent! Sell books and videos! Damn the truth, make money!
Sure, some have been beneficial with honest research and reporting to the overall movement. I could give props to a few folks like Stephen Bassett, Stanton Friedman, and our own Dennis Crenshaw.
But while there are many unsung and largely unknown folks who are doing honestly good work in their research there are a whole bunch more out there just flat out lying, and making stories up.
People like Giorgio Tsoukalos, Eric Von Daniken, and the king of the liars Billy Meiers.
And the biggest hoaxer of them all the late Zecharia Sitchin!
I know, i know I’ll stepping on lots of toes here including much of my audience who have been long time fans of my own UFO reporting. And believe me, I didn’t decide to make this move on the spur of the moment. it’s been spinning around in Tha Jackal’s Head for a long time. Now it’s got time! I have been gathering and documenting the proof of these shysters for a while now and will be presenting the evidence. documentation, and guests who have special knowledge on my new site and radio broadcast and right here on THEI!
Take Zecharia Sitchin. Now I’m not one to pick on the dead but he’s without a doubt one of the biggest con artists that was ever involved in ufology To some people he’s almost a god.. Yet, few know that Dr. Michael S. Heiser has all but proven that Sitchin was wrong about everything. I’m hoping to get him to guest on my show soon.
The new site, “Ufology Exposed” isn’t about the good guys… It’s about those evil hoaxers, tricksters, and dis-informers. It’s about those guys who have started their own cult like movements based on pure lies, and nonsense!
I’m fed up, and tired with it!
IF you would like to see ufology cleaned up and the charlatans exposed I suggest you check out, and follow my new blogspot site “Ufology Exposed.” And listen to my Sunday night show INSIDE THA JACKALS HEAD live every Sunday night at @ 10pm est only heard on www.psn-radio.com.

America has lost itself. We have lost who we truly are. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. This is the land of Thomas Jefferson. This is the land of Benjamin Franklin. This is the land of Fredrick Douglas. This is the land of Smedley Butler. This is the land John F. Kennedy. This is the land of Martin Luther King. This is the land where the cowboy wins. This is the land where you can start from the bottom and get to the top. This is the land where regardless of you race and ethnicity you can suceed and build a better life for you and your family. This is the land where every race coexists peacefully. This is the land where justice wins. This is the land where liberty dwells. This is the land where freedom reigns. This is the land where we help the poor, and people help eachother. This is land where people beat racism.
The federal reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of gread and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong.
We have allowed ourselves to be devieced and seduced by the powers of the printing press. It is not a good system. It discourages saving: the foundation for all stable economic activity. The federal reserve is artificially manipulating interests rates and creating phony economic data. This thing has decieved our entire nation.
They created it 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear.
There is a better way. It’s called freedom. Freedom is called a lot of things. But there is a true meaning. It means very simply that you have the right to do whatever you want as long as you are not infringing on the feedoms of other people.
I firmly believe that God set America apart from the other nations of the world. He saved a place where people could come to to escape bad systems of goverment. This system we have created works. It really works.
There is evil going on all around the world. The United States was meant to lead the charge against injustice, but through our example not our force. People do not respond to having liberty and freedom forced on them.
Men and Women follow courage. They follow leadership, and courage. Our example has paved the way for people all around the world to change their forms of goverment.
Force is not the way because liberty is a powerful concept. The idea that men can govern themselves is the basis for every just form of government.
We can govern ourselves. We do not need to be governed by men who want to install a one world banking system. These men have machine hearts. Machine and unnatural hearts. They have blocked out the possibility of a better world. They fear human progress. They have monopolies on everything.
This life can be free and beautiful. There are enough resources on this earth to support the world’s population. There are enough resources on this earth to feed everyone. There is enough land for everyone to own their own land and farm, and produce their own energy.
These people have been hiding technology. There are ways to create power easily. There is technology that can provide free cheap power for everyone. There are farming techniques that can feed the entire world.
They are controlling your media. They have dumbed you down through your school systems. They have systematically dismantled the constitution. It is in rags.
The bill of rights is being systematically dismantled. Men have spilled their blood for those rights.
Your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, and Americas best young men and women are loosing their limbs. They are loosing their lives. They are loosing the hearts. They do not know why they are fighting. They are killing. And they do not know why.
They have done some extroadinary acts. Their deeds go before them. But these wars are lies. They are lies. They decieved our entire nation with terrorism. They have gotten us to hand them our rights. Our Rights! Men died for those rights!
September Eleventh was an inside job. They blew up a third building in broad daylight. Building 7.
Your leaders betrayed you.
You elected an aristocracy. They are beholden to special interests. They were brainwashed through the Council on Foreign Relations. Your leaders are planning to merge the United States into a one world banking system. They want to put computer chips in you.
These men have evil hearts. They have tricked you into supporting corporate facism. We gave them the keys to our country. We were not vigilant with our republic.
There is hope. BUT WE MUST TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK.
Mr. Raub’s arrest for posting the above to his Facebook account should open all of our eyes to the fact that the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, the right to express your beliefs and feelings without censure, isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Let me restate that… the Complete Constitution isn’t AS VALUABLE as the paper its written on… after all it’s written on hemp paper . . . EDITOR

Iraq vet arrested on terrorism charges after jogging with training rifle
A US veteran is facing charges of terrorism after being arrested for trying to get some exercise. That’s William Alemar’s story, at least, who was detained this week after jogging in full military fatigues in public while carrying a training rifle.
Authorities have charged 23-year-old Army National Guardsman and Iraq war veteran William Everett Alemar with “committing a terroristic act and wearing body armor while committing a felony offense.” He was arrested on the morning of August 20 after officers responded to calls of an armed man running along a road adjacent to a Martinsburg, West Virginia high school.
When the cops found Alemar three minutes later, he was wearing his full National Guard get-up and was brandishing an air-soft “training rifle,” a gun that while similar to his actual weapon only fires pellets, not bullets. He was also garbed in a ballistic vest composed of bullet-resistant ceramic panels and was equipped with two knives and several unloaded magazines, the Herald-Mail reports. . . . Read Complete Report
On Tuesday, 31 year old Federal Way resident Anton Caluori, a military veteran with no criminal history, was arrested for allegedly threatening the President in an email he sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The entire language of the email has not been fully released but it allegedly contained talk of “explosive devices”. Federal Way Police Department’s bomb squad evacuated the apartment and found no explosive devices present at the home. . . . Read Complete Report

Homeland Security: Disgruntled Military Veterans
Not surprisingly this movement to arrest vets comes directly from the Homeland Security Intelligence and Analysis Report released in-house on 7 April 2009 entitled:
(U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment
Disgruntled Military Veterans
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and
radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from
military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the
capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out
violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist
groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from
the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.
— (U) After Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991, some returning military
veterans—including Timothy McVeigh—joined or associated with rightwing
extremist groups.
— (U) A prominent civil rights organization reported in 2006 that “large numbers
of potentially violent neo-Nazis, skinheads, and other white supremacists are now
learning the art of warfare in the [U.S.] armed forces.”
— (U//LES) The FBI noted in a 2008 report on the white supremacist movement
that some returning military veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have
joined extremist groups. . . . Complete Homeland Security Assessment

As I have said here many times before unless we learn and retain what has happened beforehistory does repeat itself.
Those of us who were around during the Watergate scandal will probably get a feeling of da javu over the next coming months.
RECAP. Just before the re-election of Richard Nixon his “plumbers”, a group of thieves and undercover CIA operatives straight out of central casting, were caught breaking and entering the offices of the Democratic Party at the famous Watergate building in Washington D.C.. Their mission was to check their already installed bugs in the offices, install some more and search for any connection between the Democratic Party’s candidate George McGovern and Cuba’s Communist Leader Fidel Castro.
Tricky Dick used every trick in his bag including “”Executive Privilege” to delay the investigation until after the election. The main reason to delay was to insure that the “conservative” arm of the Controllers government could continue with their “right wing” agenda for 4 more years. Of course even after Tricky Dick resigned to keep from being impeached the Controllers “right wing” agenda continued.
Thanks to a DEA whistle-blower the fact that the ATF was secretly and illegally smuggling guns, or as they call it “walking guns”, to the drug thugs in Mexico was revealed.
But why did ATF agents do such a counter-productive operation you might ask?
Now don’t just flat out take what I believe as gospel … research the facts for yourself. However, my research indicates there are two main reasons for giving the Mexican Drug cartel’s that much firepower.
(1) It would help escalate the Border War being waged on the US/Mexican border to help advance the Controllers on-going plan to put in place a North American Union.
(2) The most important reason of all was to add fire to the “liberal” arm of the controllers Washington DC-beltway-conglomerate anti-gun propaganda war against the American people. When the Border Bandits start killing people on both sides of the border the cry would have been… “See guns are being sold into Mexico by Southern and Western state gun shops because of ease of obtaining guns and ammo in the United. States. We’ve got to stop this!””
Eric Holder, the controllers liberal “Attorney General” has held Congress off in its investigation of Operation Fast and Furious as long as he could, but its getting out of his control.
So on the eve of charging him with contempt of Congress, the White House stepped in and invoked “Executive Privilege”. Sound familiar long time Insiders?
If history follows the past pattern things could get interesting in the next few months. If the Controllers have accomplished what they wanted during this “liberal” phase of their plans I believe they will throw Obama to the wind. If not, when the facts about Obama’s birth finally come out some time after the election it will not matter to the elitist because just like Nixon he will have served his purpose to his handlers. Besides, this time the controllers are hedging their bet.
if the Bilderburg elitist controllers and their pals have decided to swing over to the “conservative” part of their plan for a One World Order because of too much exposure, then it would not matter no more than a hill of beans. Their “conservative” point man of their puppet show is, of course Mitt Romney an admitted ‘Rockefeller’ Republican. More popularly known today as a RINO.
Although it will appear to the uninformed that their vote had put the “right wing” in the White House, in reality the rookie puppet, Mitt Romney thinks the same as their current puppet, Barack Obama.
Watching what happens between now and election would be more fun to watch than the Keystone Cops if it wasn’t so sad and serious which, uh, rhymes with fast and furious . . . . Dennis
Strange flying-saucer-shaped moons embedded in Saturn’s rings have baffled scientists studying images transmitted by the ESA’s Cassini Spacecraft. Research suggests that the oddly shaped moons, Pan and Atlas, are born largely from clumps of icy particles in the rings themselves, a discovery that could shed light on how Earth and other planets formed from the disk of matter that once surrounded our newborn sun.
Observations by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft revealed the moons Atlas and Pan, each roughly 12 miles (20 kilometers) from pole to pole, have massive ridges bulging from their equators some 3.7 to 6.5 miles (6 to 10.5 kilometers) high, giving them the classic Earthly UFO appearance.
At first glance, one could assume that fast rates of spin might have stretched Atlas and Pan out into such unusual shapes, just as tossing a disk of pizza dough flattens it out. But astronomers discovered that each takes about 14 hours to complete a rotation — not nearly fast enough to cause the flattened, disk-like shape. . . . Complete Report

From Underground Abductions: Whereto?
“On page 175 of Alien Identities, Dr. Richard L Thompson ( http://www.afn.org/~bvi ) relates an underground abduction case where the underground base was accessed through the sea by UFO:
“ On the evening of January 3, 1979, Cardenas, his friend Fernando Marti, and Marti’s wife and 13 year old daughter were driving around on the outskirts of Hialeah, looking for a pig they could buy for a roast. They were unsuccessful, and on the way home their car engine quit.
“The two men testified that the lights and starter wouldn’t work, and so they got out and began to look under the hood. At this point, they suddenly saw red and violet alternating lights reflecting off the engine and heard a sound like ‘many bees.’ … Filiberto felt paralyzed, and he began to rise in the air shouting “ Don’t take me, don’t take me.” Later he recounted a strange and elaborate story that began when he awoke to find himself sitting, paralyzed, in the presence of a robot-like being and two men in tight-fitting suits. … Filiberto said the alien beings looked quite human. They had elongated eyes with eyelashes, small flattened noses, long lipless mouths, and light beards. They also wore a symbol on the right of their chests, consisting of a serpent on a lazy X.
“The story becomes even more extraordinary: The beings proceeded to take Filiberto to an underground base, traveling beneath the sea at high speed through a tunnel of “ firmed water “ that seemed to open in front of the craft so that water did not touch it. At the base, he met a human who was working with the aliens, and he was led through what seemed like a city.”
“Dr. Thompson goes on to relate that Filiberto had several experiences while in this underground base accessed through the sea, some of them biological, some of them suggestive of mind control, . . Read complete report
I think all of the talk about the imminent loss of the U.S. fiat Federal Reserve Notes as the currency of the world is just more smoke, mirrors and scare tactics. Do I believe that the dollar will one day be worth about as much as reprinted Confederate money is today? You bet your sweet bippy I do! It’s inevitable. I just believe that our time in history hasn’t advance that far … yet.
History does repeat itself. I found the article below onthe very informativeGodfather Politicssite, Glenn Beck, National Decline and the Story of the Roman Empire by Jerry Bowyer. He explains our present place in the timeline of the final decline and failure of our dollars. A must read!
However, before we get to that I though I’d move a great story from the DEEPER section of THEI to the front section. It’s “The Fate of the Mightiest Nation” by Hudson & Landry, two great comedians and talk show hosts who were very popular in L.A. during the 1970s. I think this recording from almost 40 years go is the perfect lead-in to Mr. Bower’s report of where we stand today when it comes to the Fate of the Mightiest Nation. If you like it please pass the URL along to your friends. . . .EDITOR
The Fate of the Mightiest Nation by Hudson & Landry (audio starts in 4 seconds) … total time 5 min 14 secs.
In my last installment in this series I argued that talk show host Glenn Beck was raising legitimate concerns about the state of the nation, but that he had a history of predictions of imminent disasters which did not pan out. Why didn’t they? After all, the left really does have a strong totalitarian bent. No nation is guaranteed eternal life, let alone eternal prosperity and hegemony. And the United States is, indeed, aggressively moving in the wrong direction.So why didn’t the dollar collapse? Why is it still the reserve currency of the world? Why don’t we have hyperinflation? Why did gold stall and then fall last summer? Was there a food shortage? Nope. Widespread urban violence? Nope. Depression, stock market collapse, bond market collapse? Nope, nope and nope. Why not?Because that’s not how it works. Great nations do not suddenly lose reserve currency status or hyperinflate or collapse economically—not unless they lose a war or are destroyed by natural disasters. The archetypal decline and fall story is that of Rome. It was the eternal city, supposedly, but nevertheless its gates came crashing down and its cities were trodden over by rude barbarian feet. And all of this happened just as the great classical philosophers had warned it would. . . Read Complete Report
