They cannot be defeated by conventional means, by acceptable methods: the game is rigged. The actuarial scientists with strongpoints in Games Theory have already plotted it: The Think Tanks for things such as “policy research” aren’t initiating any actions that are “new.” They initiate original solutions, but not innovation that lends itself to progress or improvement for people. These are solutions to inculcate control and dominion, according to patterns…

            …the conditioned patterns of the people that enable them to construct the cage.

There is only one question overall that you need to ask in relation to this: Why? The question will not be able to be answered satisfactorily if you’re conditioned…in which case the “why” will not matter…because the answer you arrive upon will be one that is already “provided” by them for you.

Provided. They want you to take articles such as this one and discount them. They want you to look at everything and anything with skepticism and doubt…if it is outside of the “construct” they have made for you…. that we have helped them to make by our complacency.

The construct: the existing social, political, economic, and religious order in place, to be maintained at any cost until the people are no longer useful and can be “removed” en masse.

Black Friday gun sales (as reported by Kevin Johnson of USA Today, 11/25/17, “Black Friday posts new single day record for gun checks at more than 200,000,”) were estimated to be 203,086, a figure more than 17,000 request higher than any Black Friday. The government-media complex (and the government itself) doesn’t like it at all. How about this excerpt:

Federal authorities, meanwhile, have for years openly complained that incomplete databases and staff shortages make it difficult to keep pace with the constant stream of background checks required of most new gun purchasers and efficiently trace firearms used in crimes.

Seems they want a larger database, more personnel, and the ability to trace a weapon more effectively. Guess what?  They want those things; however, the words are just a feint.

Firearms are not their primary concern. The surveillance net comes first. Once the net is fully in place, they will not have to worry about “background checks” ever again.

The 2^nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is being stripped from us, one way or another…either added to via subjective interpretation by the Obama-packed Marxist Supreme Court, or “padded” by rulings of inferior courts of appeals. Judicial positions are a big part of the movement toward globalism. The Constitution merely needs to be “interpreted” by these Supreme Court (In)Justices and ruled upon to completely disavow the original intentions of the Founders who framed the document in standard English that needed no interpretation then, or now.

Most people do not realize that the Constitution and the firearms in the hands of the people are the only things protecting us from tyranny…the dread specter that has haunted us since the country’s founding. The specter of tyranny never dies, and each generation it manifests itself as the “Mr. Hyde” underlying the elected “Dr. Jekylls.”

Ever-increasing surveillance and security…for your “safety” …until the cage is completed on the interior…and an ever-present “war footing” to take the country down from the opposite direction if it is possible. This article came out the other day, written by Keith Collins of Quartz Media LLC on 11/21/17 entitled “Google collects Android users’ locations even when location services are disabled.”  Yes, friendly Google, in bed with the NSA and the feds.  Zuckerberg. The same Zuckerberg who openly aspires to a role in controlling the internet and moving toward globalism. You can read that article here.

The article is very in-depth with detailed maps and diagrams. Read it and then ask yourself why. All this information: Why is it being collected? Why? Here’s part of it:

Many people realize that smartphones track their locations. But what if you actively turn off location services, haven’t used any apps, and haven’t even inserted a carrier SIM card?

Even if you take all of those precautions, phones running Android software gather data about your location and send it back to Google when they’re connected to the internet, a Quartz investigation has revealed.

Since the beginning of 2017, Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby cellular towers—even when location services are disabled—and sending that data back to Google. The result is that Google, the unit of Alphabet behind Android, has access to data about individuals’ locations and their movements that go far beyond a reasonable consumer expectation of privacy.

We have been mentioning domestic issues, but the powers that be? They prefer war. They want to start a world war because it is a way to kill off 90% of the world, leave the power in the hands of the 1%, with the surviving 9% to be either serfs or killed off. They prefer war, because of the riches that are derived through the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) that line the pockets of oligarchs and politicos alike. These two amass more power, more money, and preparations paid for by the people…. but not of the people or for it…that these politicos and oligarchs shall not perish from the earth. Here’s an excerpt that bears reading entitled “Busy week for PLA [that’s People’s Liberation Army…the Army of Communist China] as it sends more warplanes above Pacific,” by Frank Chen, 11/24/17:

More Chinese bombers and fighters will ply the airspace as far as Guam and even Hawaii, at increasing frequency in the near future, as China aims to project its defence capabilities in the Pacific, under the name of “freedom of navigation”, with new, more advanced indigenous jets such as the J-20 fighters and H-20 bombers.  Asia Times reported earlier this month that PLA H-6Ks were spotted above Hawaii. Analysts say if that is true, the bombers must have received aerial refueling midway.

Yeah, our “friends” the Chinese. Remember the “Red Dawn” movie remake that came out a few years ago? The invaders were originally the Chinese…until the “real” Chinese (the ones who will be actually invading the West Coast of the United States) complained. Then the filmmakers changed the enemy to the North Koreans. The U.S. bowed down and complied to the ones who hold our debt and supply us with manufactured consumer products.

We don’t manufacture anything in this country anymore that makes a difference, except for politicians…and what they produce is always harmful to the public.

So, the analysts “say if that is true” about PLA-H-6K’s spotted above Hawaii. Analysts, eh? Are these the same REMF’s (you can look that one up) that for years denied the capabilities of North Korea…the ones they now affirm?

And why wouldn’t it be true? The Russians have been running the Cold War routes off Alaska and even as far as Washington State and the West Coast of the United States. The public “need not be alarmed,” of course. Take notice of how the Media always underreports any potential threats or confrontations…can’t ruin “Black Friday,” or take the consumer-taxpayer-shoppers out of that “mode of emotional largesse.”

What is true is that they’re tightening the screws inside of the United States…toward a Total Surveillance State.  Everything from a National ID card and internal passport system to a camera on every corner. They’re also bringing us closer to war. One way or another, they’re trying to collapse the country and move into global governance. This administration is just a hiatus before they really kick it into gear, starting with the Midterm elections. When Obama had both the House and the Senate, he passed everything on his agenda, didn’t he? This President won’t. Notice how I wrote “won’t” instead of “can’t.” In the end, we the people are the only ones who lose. We’re losing the country now…still…just at a slower rate than before.
