Obama: Islamic State ‘Perverted One Of The World’s Great Religions’

President Obama denounced the violent activities of Islamic State terrorists, asserting that they had distorted the teachings of Islam to promote their hatred around the world.

“They are vicious killers and murderers who have perverted one of the world’s great religions,” Obama said, “And their primary power in addition to killing innocent lives is to strike fear in our societies, to disrupt our societies.”

Obama made his remarks during a press conference today in Argentina with President Mauricio Macri, defending his decision to continue his foreign policy trip Latin America, in spite of the recent terrorist attack in Brussels that killed over 30 people.

He urged Americans not to just focus on the terrorist activity in Western countries, but against peaceful Muslims as well.

“We see high profile attacks in Europe, but they are also killing Muslims throughout the Middle East,” Obama said.

Obama argued that it was important for Americans not to respond to the Islamic state, which did not present an “existential threat” to the United States.

He defended his strategy to destroy ISIS, arguing that he was “systematic and ruthless and focused” on the effort which was his “top priority.”

“We are approaching this in a way that has a chance of working, and it will work and we’re not going to do things that are counterproductive, simply because it’s political season,” he said. “We’re going to be steady. we’re going to be resolute. and ultimately, we’re going to be successful.”

He encouraged more Americans to reject the fear and the hatred spread by terrorists.

“We defeat them in part by saying ‘You are not strong, you are weak,’” Obama said.

He insisted they his ideas were “working” in spite of continued terror attacks across the globe, referring to his air strikes against ISIS leadership and infrastructure and working to share intelligence with other countries.

Obama criticized the idea that he should step up military action against ISIS targets.

“We don’t just go ahead and blow something up, just so that we can go back home and say we blew something up,” he said. “We don’t just throw some military action at it without having thought it through and making sure that it’s effective.”

Oligarchical Collectivism: The Institutional “ism” That Threatens Our Very Biology


(Credit: Tony Gutierrez/AP Photo)

By Ethan Indigo Smith
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always… there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.” ~ 1984, George Orwell

Capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, imperialism, corporatism, authoritarianism, monarchism, postmodern colonialism, and whatever form of government “ism” you can imagine, all eventually degrade over time to become oligarchical collectivism — the kind of ism that benefits the powerful few at the expense of the powerless many.

The ism of all isms, oligarchical collectivism is the result of contrasting opposition within a society, that is to say, the creating and countering of perceived threats to the society. To consolidate their power, threats are both created and solved by those in power in a way that encourages the society to gradually relinquish its sovereignty and freedom to the state that “protects” it. And yet, the system designed to counter perceived threats are as extreme as the threats themselves — and as extreme as what the society and its individuals can be conditioned to tolerate.

Government and corporate institutions in our society are always, it seems, seeking to push more and more tolerations; not tolerance for differences between us, but toleration of wrongdoing. Over time we have come to tolerate war, government corruption, corporate personhood, surveillance of our private lives, and environmental degradation, all as “normal” parts of an institutionalized society. And as institutionalization proceeds, unrestrained by the individual liberties we continue to give up (not exercise) in the name of “security” and “nationalism”, those institutions eventually harden into oligarchical collectivism.

If you have socialism without capitalism, it becomes communism. If you have capitalism without socialism, it becomes fascism. And ultimately, all isms become oligarchical collectivism. No matter its beginning form, individual liberty is eliminated as power and influence is put in the hands of megalithic institutions (be they corporate, government or otherwise) that are controlled by a very few, and in some way or another — depending on the times, technology and tolerations of the day — we end up immersed in oligarchical collectivism, where the governed group mind is steered toward willingly sacrificing individual sovereignty to uphold and protect the ism from falsely perceived threats. How?

“It’s called divide and conquer. That’s why there’s two parties and only two – and they’re controlled by the same people at the very top. The Council for Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg group, the United Nations and the Trilateral Commission; these are the people who control your world by making global policies you never vote on, and who both parties serve… But divide and conquer can only work if people aren’t aware of the falsely created divisions. If you know about it, it don’t work no more.”

Oligarchical Collectivism

The phrase oligarchical collectivism is from George Orwell’s 1984 and is so descriptive that it accurately summarized every government in 1948 when it was first published, and every government since. It defines a society in which institutions such as government, media and corporate interests, which are controlled by a handful of individuals, link together, collaborating to direct, regulate and benefit from the activities of the many.

Governments, whatever their label and whatever their ism, are all about control. Governments all begin with controlling the mind, influencing and shaping society through propaganda and policy. And as government structures become more heavily cemented, their control of the group mind also becomes more cemented, and eventually these institutions, like all institutions, strive to expand and extend their power and influence. The major point of expansion becomes the government system itself. Soon enough, government no longer serves the isms it initially represented, but serves its own existence — at any cost. From there, the extent to which collectivism takes precedence over individual rights is determined only by how much is tolerated and even embraced by the people. And with global governments, mass media and the world’s most powerful capitalist ventures linked together, collaborating with a common purpose — to control and benefit from the mass mind — the extent of collectivist thinking at play today is unprecedented — and dangerous. But it did not come without warning from the inside…

“A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many, and various, and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the bast surplus in the banks.” – John C. Calhoun, 7th Vice President of the United States

“Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, from his book The New Freedom (1913)

We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day… It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations” – John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, from an address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association, 1961

If we dig deep enough, we can easily find legitimate historical evidence of vast criminal conspiracies, international in scope and completely feudalistic and fascist — that is to say, oligarchical. That is what governments do. You may think this sounds paranoid, but it is simply fact. The United States is a privately owned and operated corporation, a familial corporate oligarchy runs the British Empire, and the Empire of Japan has instilled an accepted level of oligarchical slavery that is perhaps unequaled in history. And, colluding behind the scenes of power, their beneficiaries conspire for the benefit of a network of cartels and corporations across the earth while hiding behind their own carefully crafted legal protections and illusions of institutional personhood.

The contemporary crap-creek of mainstream media in the United States would have us all believe that oligarchies only exist in Russia and Eastern European ‘old world’ nations, and if you’ve never heard of the Eastern Establishment families, or maybe have had your head under a heavy rock since birth, you might believe this to be so. However this media-induced falsehood. Although it claims to be a democratic Republic, the United States is itself oligarchical, a structured network of power and influence that includes government and major media institutions — the perfect partnership for effective propaganda.

And this is no wild “conspiracy theory”… According to a study entitled “Testing Theories of American Politics – Elites, Interest Groups and Average Citizens“, published by political scientists from Princeton and Northwestern Universities in 2014, the United States is an oligarchy. According to my own studies, however, the U.S.A. is more specifically a collectivist oligarchy, a series of interlinked oligarchies — including finance, corporate, government and religious bodies — collaborating and networking together in a fashion that promotes the rights of institutions and crushes the rights of individuals, directing power up and away from the individual toward those who quietly pull the strings, all the while conning the masses into believing it is in their own best interests.

“When you think about a few controlling the many, an absolute prerequisite to that is to centralize decision making… centralized power. Because the more points of decision making there are, the less control any few at the centre are going to have over those decisions. What we’ve seen throughout history and I would strongly contend that there has been a force and still is behind this throughout history… If you look at the word ‘globalization’, that is just a word to describe this process of incessant centralization of control and power.” – David Icke

With institutional control so deeply embedded in our history, and so widely promoted in our media, individuals around the world identify with institutions, national identity and the law of the collective over themselves, their own identity and their inherent rights under natural law. This mindset is most apparent within the most stringent oligarchical structures, to the point that individually questioning conformity to the most immoral statuses quo of those institutions is considered outrageous and offensive to the collectivist mind. And, as such collectivist thinking overtakes moral and personal judgment, a slavery mentality is formed which perpetuates the diminishing of human consciousness and allows for further “progress” in the name of the collective — such as increased environmental destruction, perpetual wars, a lifetime of economic slavery, and the continued Fukushimazation of the Pacific and beyond — none of which actually benefits the collective, only the beneficiaries at the top of the heap.

Biological Oligarchical Collectivism

In its current form, the oligarchical collectivism of today has become more than a threat to our individual freedom, it is, with our collective consent, degrading our very biology.

George Orwell coined the term oligarchical collectivism, as he did many others, in his immortal political fiction, 1984. This fictional world was a war-world under constant surveillance, where institutionalized violence and terrorism prevailed. One thing Orwell did not expunge on in his book, however, is the eventual buildup of control to a level that assumes authority of our very biology — biological oligarchical collectivism, which is what we have today.

Biological oligarchical collectivism began with the tainting of our natural resources, like the very essential air and water, and the control of these essential resources with increasing ferociousness. Resources that were once free for all, a natural right, are being bought up in an oligarchical free-for-all, and sold back to us for corporate profit. A prime example is the Nestlé corporation being allowed, and protected by government, to bottle and sell back to Californians what little drinking water they have in reserve. But with each step in the wrong direction, the persistent infesting nature of oligarchy compels further misdirection, to the point that today, governments have initiated policies of total biological control. Current policies of the oligarchy include deliberately altering the genetic biology of our food supply, engineering our planet’s climate and atmosphere, suppressing natural and ancient medicinal remedies (such as cannabis, among many) and mandating profitable yet dangerous pharmaceutical treatments in their place.

In effect, the powers of our society have assumed the right to control our bodies.

The story of American Indian corn illustrates the psychology of control and the total biological oligarchical collectivism of the 21st century. Corn is among the most sacred crops to American Indigenous peoples. Over time, the people of The Americas saw the families killed, their rights taken, their land stolen and settled, their children taken for “re-education”, and their culture systematically eliminated — amounting to the total subversion of their natural individual and collective rights, in every way imaginable. Even the sacred plant, the corn, has been stolen. The genetic modification of plants has unleashed unnatural biological transformations into the natural world, stealing the very essence of the corn and influencing the very genetic makeup of all life that interacts with it.

Biological oligarchical collectivism can also be seen in numerous regimenting facets of our postmodern culture:

The societal modifications that insert oligarchical collectivism work via gradual processes and trends. If we were to institute the encroaching feudal system of today decades ago people would be furious, but we slid here nice and easy, over time. Just as the public gets “used to” one encroachment on its rights, another more offensive trend comes and takes its place at the front our of collective focus. For the average person, it’s all too much to comprehend, much less or contest. As a result, oligarchical collectivism is now so commonplace, so much at the core of the isms of our day, that most people simply shrug off the corrupted feudalism that governs their lives as “normal”, “just how it is”, “only politics”, or “human nature”. However, the total biological oligarchical collectivism of today of a new technological capacity. Presuming to control our access to food, water, resources, weapons, medicine, and even thought, those in power have the means to wipe us out entirely. And thus, now is the time to either speak up or roll over.

Crispr will lead to designer babies, says geneticist


It’s worthwhile knowing what the scientist behind the deveopment of CRISPR, the revolutionary gene-editing technology, thinks about the ethics of using it.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, geneticist Jennifer Doudna, of the University of California Berkeley, believes that designer babies are only a decade away.

But for the moment, she believes that there should be a moratorium on editing the human genome, especially for traits like eye colour and IQ. “It should not proceed until we have a chance to understand better how the technology operates in those kinds of cells, as well as to provide time for societal consideration,” she says. But she does believe that CRISPR should be used to cure genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. When the wrinkles are ironed out, CRISPR will become as common as IVF is nowadays.

“I wonder if over time people will get comfortable with the idea of human genome editing in embryos, at least if it were going to correct a mutation that would otherwise give rise to a debilitating lifetime disorder and maybe to even remove some kinds of debilitating bad diseases from the human genome completely.”

Tinkering with the genome is a momentous step, she acknowledges:

“It’s kind of a profound thing because if you really think about it; it really means altering human evolution on some level.”

ISIS propaganda video celebrating Brussels attacks uses Trump’s voice and photo

Michael Isikoff
Chief Investigative Correspondent
March 24, 2016

A pro-Islamic State media group has released a video that celebrates the Brussels terror attacks and features Donald Trump’s voice and picture.

The video, which runs just over nine minutes, opens with images of the bombings and quickly cuts to a photo of Trump next to footage of a fiery scene from the aftermath of the attacks.

“Brussels was one of the great cities — one of the most beautiful cities of the world 20 years ago — and safe,” the voice of Trump can be heard saying in audio lifted from a phone interview he gave this week. “And now it’s a horror show — an absolute horror show.”

The video, titled “The Exile of Islam and Brussels Attacks,” features scenes from both the attack on Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station. It also shows imagery of Belgian ISIS fighter Abul Qa’Qa al-Baljiki, who participated in the Jan. 7, 2015, attack on the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 11 people, according to MEMRI, a group that tracks jihadist propaganda and provided the video to Yahoo News on Thursday.

“They’re smart and shrewd, and they knew this would get a lot of attention,” said MEMRI executive director Steve Stalinsky.

The video, by the pro-ISIS group Al-Battar Media Foundation, cuts from images in Belgium to shots of destruction in Iraq and Syria, contending that the Brussels attacks were in retaliation for U.S. and Western bombing raids on ISIS territory.

“The Crusade jets — including the Belgian — are still bombing the Muslims in Iraq and Levant day and night, killing children, women, old, and destroying mosques and schools,” a narrator on the video says.

6 Arrested in Brussels Police Operation After French Raids Foil Planned Terror Attack

Good Morning America



Six people have been arrested in a large police operation in Brussels, a Belgian prosecutor said Thursday night, as two suspects in the deadly Brussels bombings remain on the loose.

The six arrested were detained for questioning, a Belgian prosecutor said in a statement. The decision of whether to charge them is expected to be made tomorrow.

Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon tweeted earlier in the evening that five people had been arrested.

Salah Abdeslam Says He ‘Didn’t Know’ of Brussels Attack Plans

2 Brussels Attackers Identified as Brothers

Several houses were searched in Brussels, Schaerbeek and Jette, the prosecutor said. The police raids were conducted in connection with the Brussels terror attack investigation.

News of the raid came shortly after raids in northwest Paris foiled a planned attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

The French plot was at the "advanced stage" of preparation and was discovered after a French national -- described as being at a "high level" in the plot -- was arrested this morning, Cazeneuve said.

There did not appear to be links "at this stage" between the plot foiled in France and the Paris or Brussels attacks, he added, saying the arrest is the result of weeks of investigation and the individual was involved in a "terror network" that planned to strike.

The raids in Argenteuil, about 8 miles outside of the center of Paris, were ongoing and the streets were sealed off.

Investigators are actively seeking a second suspect in the Brussels metro bombing who has been seen on surveillance camera footage inside the subway station with suicide bomber Khalid El-Bakraoui, a Belgian police source told ABC News.

That second suspect, who is unidentified, was spotted on the subway platform at the Maelbeek station with El-Bakraoui, according to police.

El-Bakraoui is thought to be dead after detonating a bomb on the subway train as it was pulling out of the station. The accomplice now being sought has yet to be identified, but police do not believe he died in the Tuesday attack.

In the other attack at the city's international airport, Khalid El-Bakraoui’s brother, Ibrahim El-Bakraoui, was one of two alleged suicide bombers who led that attack.

Najim Laachraoui and a man wearing a light-colored jacket, who has not yet been publicly identified by police, were with Ibrahim El-Bakraoui at the airport, as seen on a surveillance camera image released by authorities.

Laachraoui is believed to be dead after detonating his suicide bomb, while the unnamed man has been the subject of a manhunt since Tuesday's attacks, as Belgium lowered its threat level today from the highest level, 4, to 3. Paul Van Tieghem, director of the office that evaluates threats to the nation, said there is no indication that another attack is imminent but the threat is still serious and possible.

The first suspect that is being sought was pictured on the airport surveillance footage. His identity remains unknown, but he stood out in the photo because he was the only one of the three suspects pictured not wearing a black jacket. As a result, he's been widely referred to as the "man in white."

There has been some speculation that the "man in white" was a handler or supporter for Laachraoui and El-Bakraoui since he was not wearing a glove on his left hand like they were, which may have been hiding a trigger, and his bomb failed to detonate until after it was secured by law enforcement.
