The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense (DOD). Each year's act also includes other provisions, some related to civil liberties.

Everyone should understand what is in the NDAA before the full Senate makes a big mistake and paves the way for Guantánamo-style indefinite detention being brought to the United States itself.

The new Senate NDAA:

Brings Indefinite Detention to the U.S. Itself: The bill now says that detainees may be brought to the United States for "detention pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force" (AUMF). In plain English, that means the policy of indefinite detention by the military, without charge or trial, could be carried out here at home. Right now, the number of people in the U.S. in military indefinite detention is zero. If the bill is enacted, that number could immediately jump to 100 or more.

Bolsters Claims of NDAA and AUMF Indefinite Detention Authority: The AUMF is the basis for the indefinite detention authority included in the NDAA that Congress passed nearly three years ago. Indefinite detention is wrong today and certainly cannot be sustained past the end of U.S. combat in the Afghan war. But passing a new Senate NDAA that relies on detention authority based on the AUMF, just as the U.S. combat role in the war is winding down, could be used by the government to bolster its claim that indefinite detention can just keep on going. Even when any actual U.S. combat is over.

Requires Report on Even More NDAA and AUMF Indefinite Detention Authority: As if the government didn't already have enough claims of indefinite detention authority, the Senate NDAA asks the administration to let Congress know what more indefinite detention authority it wants.

Tries to Strip Federal Courts of Ability to Decide Challenges to Harmful Conditions: In a stunning provision, the Senate NDAA tries to strip federal courts of their ability to "hear or consider" any challenge related to harmful treatment or conditions by detainees brought to the United States. This provision tries to gut our system of checks and balances by cutting out the courts.

Violates Supreme Court Decision by Stripping Habeas Rights from Detainees Left at Guantánamo: In a classic example of why it is never a good idea for a committee to legislate behind closed doors, the Senate NDAA includes language inadvertently stripping habeas rights from any Guantánamo detainee who is not moved to the United States. Habeas is the very fundamental protection of being able to have a judge decide whether it is legal or illegal to hold someone in prison. While this is almost certainly the product of sloppy drafting, the result squarely contradicts the Supreme Court's decision in Boumediene v. Bush, in which the Court said Guantanamo detainees have a constitutional right to habeas.

Blocks Most Cleared Detainees from Going Home: The Senate NDAA would block the transfer home of the vast majority of cleared detainees by imposing a blanket ban on transfers to Yemen, instead of continuing to allow the secretary of defense to make decisions on an individual basis. That would mean dozens of detainees cleared for transfer would remain trapped in limbo.

There is a right way and a wrong way to close Guantánamo. Charging and trying in court anyone who committed a crime – and sending anyone who isn't charged with a crime back home or to another country – is the right way to close Guantánamo. Simply moving all of the bad Guantánamo policies to the U.S. itself is the wrong way.

Tracking Global Changes

For the first time in 70 years, countries are overtly checkmating U.S. dominance in the world trade arena. Here is an excerpt from our live ThriveTogether think tank event last weekend.

- By Kimberly and Foster Gamble

Transcription

Kimberly: Hi. When I was in high school in the 1960s, I had this fabulous high school teacher who asked the students what period in history we wanted to study. We chose the Vietnam War because that was what was happening in our midst at that time. As a class, we invited in speakers from every possible perspective and we got magazines from every possible perspective. We looked at fascist, communist, socialist, left wing, right wing, I.F. Stone’s Weekly, Council on Foreign Relations/Foreign Affairs. We really would have a huge array of perspectives and then, as a class, we would discuss them. This experience opened up a world of learning to me and it especially opened up the world of tracking current events as they were unfolding, realizing that history is being made right now.

A big part of the motivation for ThriveTogether was to share that experience with our network, to help share the skills and the experience of tracking what’s going on right now in the world, whether it has to do with following the money or breakthrough technologies, or new solutions strategies, all kinds of alternative eco-communities around the world, education…any number of things. Everything is changing right now in really radical ways and we are tracking that and sharing what we’re learning with our network and learning from you.

That’s what’s happening and in our first ever live event this weekend we talked a little more about following the money and about some possible scenarios that we can imagine from our perspective. We don’t know what’s going to be happening, but we know that major global changes are going down right now, so I wanted to share some of them with you, our broader network, and to say if you can join the conversation through ThriveTogether, great! If you can’t, I highly encourage you to be tracking these things on your own because it’s really an amazing time in history and the ramifications are profound.

What’s going on right now? In 1944, after World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement established the IMF and the World Bank and it was soon after that that the U.S. dollar was established as the sole currency for international trade. Now, for the first time since then, countries all around the world, growing numbers (every few days new countries are joining in on this) are trading not using the dollar. It includes Canada, New Zealand, Paksitan, Russia, China, Australia, India. Every day someone new is joining in on that. It’s very significant.

I think between Russia and China, nearly a trillion dollars worth of deals have been done just since this summer. It’s now November, 2014. China opened a $4.2 trillion stock market to the world also in this month. That’s going to have major ramifications on the U.S stock market. In Toronto, Canada, it was just announced there’s going to be the first off-shore hub for Chinese currency, the renminbi, of which the yuan is the basic unit. Also, there was a G-20 meeting this November 15th and 16th. I’m actually going to read the communiqué that was official that came out of there, just to get a feel that big things are happening right now and I do encourage you to be tracking it because it’s very significant.

“The implementation of the 2010 reforms remains our highest priority for the IMF and we urge the United States to ratify them. If this has not happened by year-end, we ask the IMF to build on its existing work and stand ready with options for next steps.”

So what does this mean? The 2010 reforms basically have to do with countries becoming Basel III compliant. Basel III compliance means that banks agree to have a higher percentage of reserves in the bank. The intention is supposedly to keep a crash like what happened in 2008 from having dire global consequences. It creates a little bit of a buffer between countries. That’s the idea and the United States has not agreed to be compliant with that. Now, the G-20 is organizing to say that we’re going to do something if the U.S. doesn’t agree.

The point is that the role of the United States in global affairs is changing. The role of the dollar is changing. I’m going to offer here five possible scenarios that could be unfolding with the information that we have. Like I said, we don’t know, but I really do encourage you to be tracking it. I am fortunate enough to have grandchildren, but whether you do or not, I think of it that one of these days some young person is going to come up and say, “What were you doing during these times?” So much is going on now in what could be considered the greatest fascist takeover of all times and I encourage you to do what you can so you can answer that question by saying, “I was awake and I was doing everything that I could do to help create a thriving world for you.”

So, tune in and take care to participate in these amazing, unprecedented times and here are some possible scenarios. Thanks.

Foster: Now I want to talk a little bit about the Dragon Family and the possible scenarios that we laid out in the blog and also, I want to add several other scenarios for your consideration because in that blog, we only addressed two and, of course, there are many. I want to flesh that out a little bit today.

Plan A, that we covered in the blog, is basically where the United States government and the U.S. Treasury go along with the Elders (and for those of you who haven’t seen it, the Elders are the Dragon Family; it’s an alliance of families throughout Asia; in China, in the Philippines, in Indonesia, Japan, Viet Nam, and, to some degree, even in Europe). These families are, as far as we can tell (this is educated speculation over years of research) are the current stewards of most of the wealth of the world. I certainly felt for a long time that the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers were in that role, but it turns out that over centuries, gold has been collected, often times in very nasty ways, mostly in the spoils of war where one country would invade another and take their gold just as it has been going on in current times, as in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Ukraine, etc. The first thing that happens in each of those wars that doesn’t reach main stream media is that invading forces go in and take all the gold that they can find. That has been going on throughout recorded history and it’s been collected and buried for safekeeping in various troves throughout Asia. What we have been told is that there are people (we know people who have met them, we’ve never met with them directly ourselves) who say that these Asian Elders are actually very spiritual and very advanced beings who recognize that this gold is not truly theirs (or at least not most of it) and that they’re in a position of stewardship awaiting the time when they have the security, they have the opportunity, to actually use that gold to basically re-boot the global economic system and rescue humanity from destroying ourselves. It seems that time is now. That’s what we’re being told.

That offer is on the table, but it entails the Western banking cabal; and that is the Rothschilds, Rockefeller, fiat money, fractional reserve system, which has been in place for at least a hundred years in the U.S. and has been spreading across the globe to include almost every major country now. One of the requirements of the Elders is that the cabal step aside, out of their position of domination and control which has led to such environmental, economic, and human destruction and that they take a more humble, participatory role as partners with the rest of the world in having an asset-backed system. They’re not going to make up money anymore. Now, it’s actually based on the real assets of precious metals, of food, of water, of people’s hard work, so that money actually goes back to being correlated to real value, to human experience. Of course, the cabal doesn’t want to do that because they’ve used this fiat money system and the petro dollar that they’ve enforced as the global exchange currency, they’ve used that to take over control to a great degree. What we’re being told is that the Elders have basically said to the cabal is that they’ve blown it and don’t get to continue to do that.

Another of our educated speculations is that we’ve been told that the money that was borrowed to create the IMF, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, the whole Bretton Woods System back after World War II was borrowed against this Asian gold, quietly, and has not been paid back and it’s way overdue and the U.S. has now had its franchise to print money through the Federal Reserve terminated. We’re told that is one of the reasons they have finally stopped the lethal work, so-called “quantitative easing”, or printing money through the Federal Reserve. It remains to be seen whether or not that’s true.

In Plan A, the U.S. government goes along with the Elders and there’s a global currency reset and currencies go up and down based on real assets, not on military force or smoke and mirrors, and that new global asset-backed system and the safety that that entails allows the Asian Elders to begin releasing this huge wealth into the world, through individuals, through governments, especially through humanitarian projects that have been selected because of their breakthrough nature and their ability to actually restore the environment of the world, to restore the economic integrity, to restore the health, to restore honest communications systems, and so forth. These troves (I’m going to show you some pictures, and I’m not claiming anything about these pictures except that they give you a sense about what it would be like to be in the presence in the amount of these select metals), every bit of this gold was brought out of the earth by somebody’s hard labor and we’re told that this is what a trove looks like. We’re told that there are over 100 football field-sized troves around the world containing these types of volumes of pure gold. In Plan A, the U.S. government steps out of the way, the Western cabal steps out of the way, and becomes a partner with the rest of the world, these funds are released and tremendous restoration takes place throughout the world and the world economic system gets rebooted. That’s Plan A.

Plan B is where the cabal continues to resist and go against the Asian Elders and they continue with their police state. They may continue to try to create World War III in order to inflict martial law and more taxation and all that. But in this scenario, the U.S. would be isolated, the U.S. dollar would collapse, and the level of social and economic unrest that would ensue would not be a pretty sight, to say the least. And, if the U.S. government still tried to inflict their police state, I think the chances of them being able to do it when the country is actually broke (since the U.S. government is $16–$17 trillion dollars in debt and all the major banks are hundreds of trillions of dollars in derivatives debt). When that truth comes out, I don’t know that they will be able to pay the military or the police to try to inflict some sort of martial law or police state. So, it’s critical, no matter what happens, that the emerging systems of alternative currencies, alternative organic growing, alternative media, alternative security organizations, and conflict resolution and so forth, that those be allowed to emerge to replace a collapsing system if, unfortunately, that were to happen. That’s Plan B. (We’ll be doing a poll later on where you’ll be reminded about these plans and have an opportunity to vote on which of these plans is most likely, or none of the above. [The poll is not a part of this excerpt from the ThriveTogether live event.])

Moving on to Plan C (we didn’t talk about this in the blog) and this is a deeply critical one and a very important, real possibility. In this case, the Elders either turn out to not be who they claim to be or don’t have the wealth or don’t have the power to use that wealth for good. In this scenario, potentially, the Chinese government as well as the other BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), despite the fact that they are showing all of these signs of working around the Federal Reserve, the NSA, and the Western banking system, are actually all secretly in cahoots with the Western cabal to create the very one-world government run by them, amongst other central bankers, and to use that to create global control. We warned about this in the film and we also talked about the one-world, cashless currency. With a cashless currency, then the bankers could strip anyone of their assets with a click or a keystroke. The currency that has been suggested for this is the SDR, Special Drawing Rights, which was actually invented 67 years ago out of the IMF and was suggested as a global fiat money system where the IMF and the World Bank would be in charge of, on a global scale, what the Federal Reserve here or the Central Bank of England does in England, and so many other countries’ central banks. Now, we’d be on a global system and the bankers would still be in charge. It would turn out that the collapse of the U.S., which could still happen, was exactly as we warned about in the movie as a way to fool people into thinking they were going along with a new system that was going to be better than U.S. tyranny, but instead it turns out to be global tyranny. Meanwhile, the American citizens gave in and the U.S. economy collapsed and now the entire world is at the mercy of this global system. Some people have referred to this continuing demise of the U.S. as a “slow burn”. In this scenario, this would be a scenario without the Elders having a strong influence and it would end up under the dominance of the Bank of International Settlements and all that entails (the Western banking system, the IMF, and the World Bank). That’s Plan C.

Plan D is also without the Elders, as we described, but in this case, China continues its economic growth and it has been hoarding gold (besides these troves, it has been openly holding gold and mining gold for decades) and it turns out that their economy becomes stronger, the yuan becomes the new mandatory global currency of exchange, and now we’re in a global dominating situation, but now it’s the People’s Republic of China running the show instead of the U.S. or the BIS (Bank of International Settlements). It’s still a scenario of dominance. That’s Plan D.

One more, we’ll call this Plan E, and this may sound very strange and highly unlikely in many ways, but at the same time, I don’t want to write this off because once again, with the educated speculation on the years of research that we’ve done, this one seems to actually play an important role, potentially. Plan E is that the helpful as well as harmful role of extraterrestrials and inter-dimensional beings end up playing a huge role in the outcome of the global dynamics that are shifting right now. This is quite a scenario to entertain. On the harmful side, potentially if there are reptilian beings (the so-called “Archons”, the “tall Greys”, and other beings that have been reported) that may not necessarily have our best interest in mind. Or, on the other side, we’ve been told that they’re very helpful beings (like the short Greys, the Sirians, the Pleiadeans, and so forth).

And I must say as I contemplate this that it cracks me up that we could end up with a whole new level of cosmic bigotry where now we’re arguing about “I should rule you because you have scales” or “you don’t have scales”, “Okay we’re both grey, but you’re too tall” or “you’re too short”. Once again, it’s an opportunity to really get in touch with the core principle. It doesn’t matter what you look like or how tall you are. What matters is your behavior, whether it’s on a global level or cosmic level. Are you violating other beings or not?

Pam Bondi argues Biden corruption concerns are legitimate | Trump impeachment trial

 

Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida who is a member of the Trump impeachment legal team, outlined on Jan. 27 the concerns she said the president had about potential corruption on the part of the Bidens in Ukraine. Bondi pointed to numerous news reports raising questions about Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The move “looks nepotistic at best, nefarious at worst,” Bondi said, speaking on the Senate floor during the impeachment trial.

While some ethics experts have said Hunter Biden’s seat on the Burisma board could raise the appearance of a conflict of interest, independent news reports have found no wrongdoing by Hunter Biden or former vice president Joe Biden.

Democrats argue Trump used the idea of corruption as a cover for efforts to get Ukraine to investigate his political rival. Trump’s defense team is presenting their arguments as part of the Senate impeachment trial. The trial has entered a pivotal week as his defense team resumes its case and senators face a critical vote on whether to hear witnesses or proceed directly to a vote that is widely expected to end in his acquittal. The articles of impeachment charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The House of Representatives impeached the president in December on those two counts.



SPECIAL REPORT: Inside Joe Biden's corruption scandal and the social media cover-up

Published: October 25, 2020

A special senate investigation has detailed how the son of presidential hopeful Joe Biden may have used his father’s position in the White House to amass wealth and power.

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs published the report titled ‘Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on US Government Policy and Related Concerns’.

Sky News Australia breaks down this 87-page document which examines possible conflicts of interest in foreign business while Joe Biden was vice president in Barack Obama’s administration.

The report found that the Obama administration knew Hunter Biden’s presence on the board of the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma was “problematic” and “interfered” in the “execution of policy” with Ukraine.

The allegations are extraordinary – so much so that social media giants Facebook and Twitter sought to censor the story to stop it reaching voters in a manner Republicans have labelled brazen "election interference".

Hunter Biden Emails | Full Measure

Published: November 02, 2020

Late in the election, reports surfaced about conflicts of interest among Joe Biden, his family, and foreign business contacts in China and beyond, which Biden denies. Some media outlets have refused to cover the alleged conflicts. We thought we'd take a different approach and investigate the emails, the connections and the actual evidence.



Why the Mainstream Media Suppressed the Hunter Biden Bombshell | Larry Elder

Published: December 24, 2020

Yet again, the media rises to the rescue of another Democrat campaign. In 2008, [they] saved President Obama’s candidacy from the potential Reverend Jeremiah Wright derailment, and now the bombshell story from the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s secret e-mails. When the story broke, mainstream media suppressed the information and deemed it Russian disinformation. Bottom line, the report’s suppression enabled the Biden/Harris campaign to push through to election day. The mainstream media strikes again.

The Quigley Formula - G. Edward Griffin lecture

An excellent lecture by G. Edward Griffin entitled: "The Quigley Formula: A conspiratorial view of history as taught by the conspirators themselves." Plus the establishment of the Royal Institute For International Affairs (Secret Round Table) was also created by the aristocratic families, to penetrate, governments all over the world and gain total control from within. But since in the United States, American people did not care much about royalties, it was named "The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)"

"Quigley" is the late Carroll Quigley, a Council on Foreign Relations member and historian, as well as mentor to CFR & Trilateral Commission member Bill Clinton. The lecture is based around the following quote from his book Tragedy & Hope, pp. 1247-1248:

"The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms, although the process was concealed as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil War)....The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. ... Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies."


The Deep State Hiding in Plain Sight - Bill Moyers

Mike Lofgren, a congressional staff member for 28 years, joins Bill Moyers to talk about what he calls Washington's "Deep State," in which elected and unelected figures collude to protect and serve powerful vested interests. "It is how we had deregulation, financialization of the economy, the Wall Street bust, the erosion or our civil liberties and perpetual war," Lofgren tells Moyers.

Knowledge is power.! We, the people can easily initiate changes and reforms necessary by first and foremost educating ourselves, our loved ones and friends. To remedy humanity’s current tyrannical situation peacefully, using nonviolent resistance, we must share what we learn, that CIA, British intelligence and others like them work for the committee of 300 low-level crime families, whom are under the control of the symbolically alluded to as the thirteen top families; known as: “Deep State”, or “Ruling Oligarchy”, or “Parasite Ruling Class”, or “Secret Cabal”, or “Illamanaties”, or “Zionists”, or “Eugenist”, or “Nation-less Corporations”, or Multi Nationals, or “City of London”, etc., they are all referring to the same nefarious families secretly controlling planet Earth. The top of the pyramid families are as follows:

"Mellons, Carnegies, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Schiffs, Dukes, Astors, Dorrances, Reynoldses, Stilimans, Bakers, Pynes, Cuilmans, Watsons, Tukes, Kleinworts, DuPonts, Warburgs, Phippses, Graces, Guggenheims, Milners, Drexels, Winthrops, Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Harknesses, along with few other filthy rich billionaires, controlling everything."

All political, social and economical ideologies, revolutions and wars are and have always been orchestrated by the very same nefarious cabal, or parasite ruling class, to continuously murder innocent people for profit, thus reduce population, while increasing their wealth, control and power.  Don't comply, resist, oppose, disobey.

They are overtly poisoning our air, called geo-engineering, or chem-trails, spraying toxic chemicals into the atmosphere from aircrafts high above, while we are lied to and vaccinated with toxic chemicals, as our produce and foods are contaminated with highly toxic GMOs and chemical herbicides and fertilizers, and our water with fluoride.  Marching towards their Eugenics goals.  And these are what we know.!
