The NSA and CIA don’t answer to Congress:

In 2007, reporter Charles Davis asked then-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee – Jay Rockefeller – about clandestine U.S. operations against a foreign government.

DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—

ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].

DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?

ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it. All of it. ALL of it. ALL THE TIME. I only get –  and my committee only gets –  what they WANT to give me.

This is shocking … but not new. The NSA was created in secret … and Congress wasn’t even notified.

 This description of Congress’s feeble attempts at oversight is almost amusing:

Amash
said that intelligence officials are often evasive during classified
briefings and reveal little new information unless directly pressed.

“You don’t have any idea what kind of things are going on,” Amash said. “So
you have to start just spitting off random questions. Does the
government have a moon base? Does the government have a talking bear?
Does the government have a cyborg army? If you don’t know what kind of
things the government might have, you just have to guess and it becomes a
totally ridiculous game of twenty questions.“

I have to admit, I am genuinely curious about this talking bear? Does anyone know if the government’s ownership of it was officially denied?

It appears the neocons are elbows deep into it again with their ongoing campaign for global revolution:

Earlier today an even more shocking recording has been “leaked” this time one between the always concerned about human rights EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet, in which it is revealed on tape that all those photos of horrifying deaths of Ukrainians by snipers during the last days of the Median stand off, were in fact caused not by Snipers controlled by Yanukovich, but that the snipers shot at both protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders!

Here is the key exchange, just after 8 minutes into the conversation :

Paet: “All the evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers from both sides, policemen and people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides. … Some photos that showed it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it is really disturbing that now the new coalition they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened. So there is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition.”

Ashton: “I think we do want to investigate. I mean, I didn’t pick that up, that’s interesting. Gosh.”

Paet: “It already discreditates (sic) this new coalition.”

So first US orchestrates the Kiev overthrow, and now the new “leaders” of Ukraine are allegedly found to have fired against their own people – the same provocation they subsequently used to run Yanukovich out of the country and install a pro-Western puppet government. Of course, said pro-Western coalition has not been discreditated (sic) because Ms. Ashton has sternly refused to investigate, knowing quite well how horribly this would reflect on the new Ukraine “leadership” –  a government which shot its own people to fabricate the pretext under which it rose to power.

Still confident that it was Osama bin Laden’s terrorists who orchestrated the attacks on the Twin Towers?

Is bigger government, of course. And by bigger, they mean global. The only problem, it seems, is that there is an unfortunate lack of “an extraordinary crisis” that impedes Man’s self-appointed saviors the ability to impose it.

September 11th could become the demarcation point of this new era much as 1648 and the Treaty of Westphalia marked the beginning of the state-centric system of the international order. While the analogy is loose, it won’t take centuries for the effects of globalization and the end or at least the transition of the Westphalian era to take hold.

Beyond this inflection point in international politics, still unabsorbed and misunderstood by most governments and people, a second reality complicates taking effective action in what could truly be a “new world order,” the description coined by U.S. President George H.W. Bush after the implosion of the Soviet Union more than two decades ago.

Failed and failing government from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe with Brussels and Washington in between is the largest collective impediment to the betterment of mankind.

Without an extraordinary crisis, little is likely to be done to reverse or limit the damage imposed by failed or failing governance. The United States is Exhibit A although there are far too many competitors for that title.

You don’t suppose anyone would, you know, create one? Given that the lack of one is an “impediment to the betterment of mankind” and all. No, of course not! That would be conspiracy theory…..

An amusing article on the creepy “Sith Lords of the Dark Enlightenment“:

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dark Enlightenment. The Empire is striking back. Much as Christianity grew out of the cult-sodden ferment of the Roman-occupied Middle East, the Dark Enlightenment has sprouted from the hyper-anxious anti-liberalism precincts in the darker recesses of the Internet.

So we’ve dug deep into the Web, where the movement lurks. We’ve talked online to its philosopher king, Nick Land, and we’ve conversed with his faceless adherents…. As the term suggests, the Dark Enlightenment is an ideological analysis
of modern democracy that harshly rejects the vision of the 18th century
European Enlightenment—a period punctuated by the development of
empirical science, the rise of humanist values and the first outburst of
revolutionary democratic reform. In contrast, the Dark Enlightenment
advocates an autocratic and neo-monarchical society. Its belief system
is unapologetically reactionary, almost feudal….

In the Dark Enlightenment, we seem to have stumbled across a place where
pseudo-intellectually grounded racism is flourishing in a way it hasn’t
since before World War II.

I have to admit, I’m more than a little bemused to be informed that I am a faceless adherent of some guy whose name I’ve literally never seen before. It’s also a little odd to see myself listed under Christian Traditionalists rather than Economists or even Masculinity; I am certainly a Christian but I’m hardly a Christian Traditionalist in the Chestertonian style. I also enjoyed the term “pseudo-intellectually grounded racism”. This is Left-wing shorthand for the writer’s confession that the position is an intelligent and well-grounded one for which he have no rebuttal, but with which he disagrees anyhow.

One would think that he would at least stop long enough to consider why it is flourishing, but his analysis doesn’t run so deep. Setting aside the author’s fumbling attempts to make sense of what is developing and provide a nonexistent structure to it, this bit particularly amused me:

Could the Dark Enlightenment become a major political movement?

Probably
not. To acquire momentum in the real world, the systems of modern
democratic capitalism would have to suffer a blow far more damaging than
any received so far.  

And, as we all know, that is inconceivable, since we all know that history is nothing but the chronicle of the inexorable progress towards modern democratic capitalism and the unending bourgeois paradise it entails. Perhaps he might like to consider reading The Return of the Great Depression. We are already five years into Great Depression 2.0. The systems of modern democratic capitalism are already flashing red blinking signals and we are now merely awaiting the blow that will cause them to collapse. What it will be, no one claims to know, but it is coming, sooner or later.

And the article wouldn’t have been complete without the mandatory bit of nonsensical finger wagging: “Universal equality and classical democracy are not synonymous with an
all-purpose, lowest-common-denominator leveling of mankind. Rather, they
speak only to an existential fairness in which each of us has the right
to value, direct and make meaning of our own lives.”

First, equality, universal or otherwise, doesn’t exist. This argomentum ad singulicornu is simply an irrelevant nonstarter. As for classical democracy, what does that have to do with the unelected European Commission, the unelected U.S. Supreme Court, the bifactional ruling party and the “first-past-the-post” parliamentary systems, all of which are meant to strictly limit democracy and forcibly prevent people from exercising their right to value, direct, and make meaning of their own lives.

But Mr. Sigl is right about in one thing. People would do well to take me and the other “Sith Lords” seriously. Because, as it happens, we are realistic and generally correct, on average, about the past and present states of Mankind.

This is either the non-fiction coup of the 21st century or a spectacular example of WND going off the rails of the crazy train:

In the National Archives at College Park, Corsi discovered a clipping from the U.S. military newspaper “The Stars and Stripes” published Oct. 8, 1945, reporting a shocking statement made by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, then the supreme commander of the Allied Forces.

The short piece read: “There is ‘reason to believe’ that Hitler may still be alive, according to a remark made by Gen. Eisenhower to Dutch newspapermen. The general’s statement reversed his previous opinion that Hitler was dead.”

Tracing Hitler’s escape route, Corsi found in the National Archives documentary evidence Hitler got to Argentina in a German submarine, the U-530 that mysteriously surfaced outside the harbor at Mar del Plata under the command of Otto Wermuth and his executive officer, Karl Felix Schuller, after having spent weeks making surreptitious drops of passengers along Argentina’s Atlantic shore.

Hidden away in the National Archives, Corsi found a U.S. naval intelligence report written July 18, 1945, by the Naval Attaché in Buenos Aires who notified Washington there was reason to believe U-530 had landed Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun in the south of Argentina before the submarine journeyed on to surrender at Mar del Plata.

Corsi had newspaper reports translated of Hitler and Braun being welcomed by wealthy Nazi sympathizers among Argentina’s large German community. The Germans there had constructed a mansion hidden away in the dense mountain forests of Bariloche to provide the Nazi führer with comfort and security in his elder years

Corsi writes: In 1943, architect Alejandro Bustillo, at the request of German supporters of Hitler then living in Argentina, designed and constructed an elaborate resort residence for Hitler and Eva Braun, Residencia Inalco, located in a remote area between San Carlos de Bariloce Villa La Angostura, bordering the Nahuel Haupi Lake, outside the city of Bariloche, in the province of Río Negro, Argentina.”

In southern Argentina in the region of the Andes adjoining Chile, he writes, “the surroundings and the Hitler residence were selected and designed to have a distinct feel of Hitler’s Obersalzberg retreat above the town of Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. Hitler moved into the residence in June 1947.”

For all that he likes to tackle controversial subjects, Corsi is a careful reporter and his statements here are extraordinarily detailed, so it should be fascinating to see how this plays out.  Either way, it is one hell of an attention-grabbing trailer. And those whose instinct is to mindlessly dismiss it as “conspiracy theory” should keep in mind what happened after Corsi called Obama’s birth certificate into question. Considering how inept the current administration has shown itself to be, I wouldn’t put it past them to try to pass off some ribs from the local barbecue shack as Hitler’s real remains from the bunker.

I can’t say I would be in the least bit shocked if it turned out to be true that the suicide in the bunker was a red herring. I can recall that even as a juvenile WWII enthusiast, I thought it was all rather suspiciously convenient that the bodies were burned and buried. And, as we now know with regards to the many Nazis protected by American military and scientific elite, it’s no longer unthinkable to believe that the top brass might have struck a deal with Hitler in order to remove him as an obstacle to a speedy unconditional surrender.

As the admiral of the Germany Navy, Doenitz, who ultimately offered the surrender, would have likely been privy to any secret U-boat transport.

And, if it turns out to be true that Hitler escaped the bunker with the knowledge of U.S. officials, I think it is safe to say that we can confidently await the admission that the Moon landings were faked in another 20 years or so. Regardless if there is such a Nazi resort residence, one should be able to find it somewhere near here on Google Maps. It’s fascinating to see there is a “Refugio Berghoff” up in the hills, not far from the Aldea Andina Resort, in light of this:

“The Berghof was Adolf Hitler’s home in the Obersalzberg of the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany. Other than the Wolfsschanze in East Prussia, Hitler spent more time at the Berghof than anywhere else during World War II. It was also one of the most widely known of his headquarters, which were located throughout Europe.”
