Egyptian soldiers clashed with hundreds of rock-throwing protesters in central Cairo for a second consecutive day on Saturday, in a resurgence of turmoil just days after millions voted in parliamentary elections. Soldiers hurled stones from rooftops and fired water from hoses in a crackdown that has left at least eight people dead. The violence has brought to the fore the simmering tensions between security officers and activists demanding an end to military rule, and threatened to spark a new cycle of fighting after deadly clashes between youth revolutionaries and security forces in November that lasted for days and left more than 40 dead.

Elites Launch Another Dystopian Mindbender

How’s that for cognitive dissonance? After outright media blackout, ridicule, and violent police oppression, this mind-bending “honor” arises. Smell anything fishy here?
AFP – Time magazine named the collective “protester” around the world as its person of the year Wednesday, citing the change brought by street demonstrations from Arab countries to New York.
The shared honor for protesters beat the traditional individual contenders, who included Admiral William McCraven, commander of the US mission to kill Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.
“There’s this contagion of protest,” managing editor Richard Stengel said on NBC television. “These are folks who are changing history already and they will change history in the future.” Source
When the PTBs honor demonstrators on one of their flagship publications, and globalist Richard Stengel publicly endorses these “folks changing history”, you know you’re being “teed up”. You also now know that, yes, they were behind much of this international movement, which has worked very nicely to dismantle one government after another in their march toward World War 3 and world domination. Or so they hope.
Is this a change of strategy? Why?
Some Reasons
- If you can’t stop it, steer it. Manipulate the message to meet your needs. In this case, appear to be the “good guy” and proponent of freedom for the underdog. Old saw, but works.
- Encourage more public dissent. Why? The game’s changed. Thanks to our traitorous government, with the recent draconian developments in not only warrantless detainment but internet intrusion and soon free range censorship, these wicked minions appear to be in a rush to the goal line. And they’d no doubt like to give these news powers a test drive.
- Timing. For some reason they feel the urgency to put the clamps on hard, and quickly. Is something coming down the pike?
- Fear. Do they sense a real awakening amidst their manipulating and want to seal the pot before it boils over? You know what that will only do. So, is that their intention?
The Dystopian Freedom “Front”
At the very least, to so-called honor the “demonstrator” while telling your robocops to spray mace in their faces and club and arrest them is along the lines of Obama’s Nobel Peace prize. Only screwier. For these self-appointed, self-righteous media moguls to completely about-face is another effort to mess with our heads.
We get it, but the rest of the world is being led by the nose down a path to complete chaos.
This is similar to the whacked-out power freak Hillary going around preaching human rights and democracy, while planting subversives and handing out weapons like Halloween candy. For some hypnotic reason, the masses will fall for these false fronts of words and erudite rhetoric even while their eyes tell them the opposite. Nothing like a regular dose of cognitive dissonance to keep the masses mindnumbed.
But such is our Orwellian dystopia.
Smart Resistance
But this tells me it’s time to get smarter. We need to see what’s coming down the road, and be awake, aware, nimble and on our toes.
The new martial law provisions are a game changer. Everyone has different strategies to assert their freedom, but knowing the brutality that the police state is capable of on the streets, it might be wise to reevaluate other tactics that could prove more effective, rather than get brutalized or “disappeared”.
Our resistance to tryanny is most effective via non-compliance. Any and every way we can stop participating in this false structure, economically, politically, and even socially when it comes to the shallow bread and circus media foolishness.
Conclusion.
This phony war on terror has succeeded in demonizing just about anyone who isn’t a wet noodle. I mean when they’re policing your behavior and even intentions, which in effect is what the TSA is now implementing through this Pavlovian stimulus-response ritual, it’s pretty far gone.
When people say the shit’s gonna hit the fan, apparently they lost their sense of smell. We’re already being sprayed, and more every day. The PTBs work incrementally, till you’re living in crap and don’t even notice. The final societal breakdown and confusion is just a final physical manifestation of everything they’ve meticulously set in place.
Be Wise as Serpents and Harmless as Doves
Some good advice from a true freedom fighter. Truth and love are our weapons, and they cannot be stopped or quenched under any circumstances. Only fear can keep us from access to those tools, so it’s imperative to stay conscious and exercise our intuitive powers like never before.
Our ultimate weapon is to be in tune with the Universe, God, whatever you want to call It, and doing what we’ve been called to do. We need to learn to listen to and heed that Voice in our hearts. There’s no surveilling that one.
And the good news? it’s free and easy access to any child of Light!
Much love, Zen

‘Fog of pre-war over Syria’ (video)

December 16, 2011
The UN Security Council is pouring over the details of a new draft resolution on Syria, put forward by Russia. It condemns all sides in the ongoing conflict, calling for violence to stop – but there’s no mention of sanctions. Moscow’s been trying to mediate a peaceful solution for months, but there’s been little let-up in the violence. Over two dozen state security officers were killed in recent clashes by defectors. The Free Syrian Army claims to have more than 25-thousand troops, fighting to bring down President Assad. Western states still don’t acknowledge that anti-regime protesters are armed. For more on this RT talks to Pepe Escobar, columnist and an Asia Times correspondent, joining us from Sao Paulo.
