Globalization is a vague term, it's not necessarily taking place
*No one can "control" it although the "New World Order" fans would love to*
One of the strange words that has been used many times after the British
referendum is "globalization". The New York Times wrote about ‘Brexit’ in
America: a warning shot against globalization. Xinhua asked in a
commentary: Brexit, a move threatening an end to globalization? The
Providence Journal believes that Brexit may mark the start of a rebellion
against globalization. The Kansas City Star is already convinced that
Britain just killed globalization as we know it. Inquirer.net also wrote

*Shane Harris, Daily Beast:** Who Really Killed a Playboy Terrorist?*
One of the world’s most wanted terrorists met a fiery death last month. The
mystery over who killed him is now an international guessing game—with the
prime suspects in Washington.
Plenty of people wanted Mustafa Badreddine dead.
There were the Saudis, who blamed him for terror attacks in the kingdom and
against its allies abroad.
The Israelis had already once tried to assassinate Badreddine, the military
commander of Hezbollah and one of the most important and powerful figures

Putin: Brexit Proves UK Can Destroy The New World Order
Russia is hoping for a ‘new understanding’ with a post-Brexit Britain,
according to Kremlin sources, with President Putin said to be ‘deeply
encouraged’ by the British people voting to back themselves and reject the
New World Order’s destructive goals. According to sources, Putin believes
that Brexit is proof the globalist’s destructive agenda is deeply unpopular
with real people, and when given a chance they will instinctively reject it
out of hand. ‘We must mark today in our calendars as the day the British
people stood up to their masters and told them a resounding no. No more.’

Orlando Smoking Gun: Nobody Died Until The SWAT Team Entered
Judge Andrew Napolitano has appeared on national TV and said that the
official FBI transcript summary of the Orlando shooting shows that nobody
in the Pulse nightclub died until 5:13am in the morning, throwing the
official narrative peddled by the mainstream media into disarray. According
to the official narrative, Omar Mateen entered the club around 02:00am and
began his killing spree. However, as Judge Andrew Napolitano points out in

June 25: Bah! Humbug!

The key to cheaper prices and/or good services is more competition among

Why the British said 'No' to Europe
By John Pilger
The majority vote by Britons to leave the European Union was an act of raw
democracy. Millions of ordinary people refused to be bullied, intimidated
and dismissed with open contempt by their presumed betters in the major
parties, the leaders of the business and banking oligarchy and the media.
This was, in great part, a vote by those angered and demoralised by the
sheer arrogance of the apologists for the “remain” campaign and the
dismemberment of a socially just civil life in Britain. The last bastion
of the historic reforms of 1945, the National Health Service, ... more »

ORIGINS AND TECHNIQUES OF MONARCH MIND CONTROL
https://hollywoodsubliminals.wordpress.com/project-monarch/
*Monarch Programming* is a method of *hard mind control* used by numerous
organizations for covert purposes. It is a continuation of project
MK-ULTRA, a mind-control program developed by the CIA, and tested on the
military and civilians. The methods are astonishingly sadistic (its entire
purpose is to traumatize the victim) and the expected results are
horrifying: The creation of a mind-controlled slave who can be triggered at
anytime to perform any action required by the handler. While mass media
ignores this issue, *ov... more »

EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum - There's a lot of upset REMAINIACS out there

Worries about British science are mindless fearmongering
British scientists who voted "Bremain" outnumber the supporters of "Brexit"

European Union official propaganda.
So it shouldn't be surprising that many people use big words to show their

June 24:Brexit - What we don't know...
We commonly speak of people as being semitic or anti-semitic. And we're

also includes Palestinianns, in fact, all Arabs. Yes, Arabs are a semitic
people.
Hebrew is a semitic language; but Jews of Europe and the Americas use the

Brexit Sparks Calls For Other EU Referendums

LONDON — There was no lack of doomsday rhetoric before Britain's referendum

Britain leaving the European Union could seriously threaten "Western
political civilization."
Now, those fears have been stunningly amplified by the decision of British
voters to break away. Predictions that the E.U. could break apart might be

Why Were The Brexit Polls Wrong

It wasn’t just a bad night for Europhiles and David Cameron, but also for

after a long day of packing, doctor appointments, travel, unpacking, food
shopping and buying enough liquor to get me through the next week. I was
confident the oligarchs had the Brexit vote rigged in their favor. I went
to bed exhausted at 10:00.
I wake up this morning to global pandemonium. I just wanted to ride my bike
on the boardwalk in peace, but Noooo. First it was raining, so I have to
wait for the showers to end. Then I flip on the radio and hear about stoc... more »

"The mainstream media (MSM) calls their latest unfair coverage of
Presidential GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump “fact checking.” In
reality, it’s a way for the MSM to hide the fact it is unobjective, totally
unfair, and only out to destroy Trump in favor of the candidate and party
they’re in the tank for, Democrat Hillary Clinton. The only candidate the
MSM is “fact checking” is Trump. Meanwhile, every week, there is a new
angle to the Clinton private server scandal, or her so-called charity, the
Clinton Founda... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“A Full Moon sets as the Solstice Sun rises in this June 20 dawn skyscape.
Captured from a nearby peak in central California, planet Earth, the scene
looks across the summit of Mount Hamilton and Lick Observatory domes on a
calendar date that marks an astronomical change of seasons and
hemispherical extremes of daylight hours.

*"Free As A Bird"*
by Chet Raymo
"All afternoon I have been watching a pair of hummingbirds play about our
porch. They live somewhere nearby, though I haven't found their nest. They
are attracted to our hummingbird feeder, which we keep full of sugar water.
What perfect little machines they are! No other bird can perform their
tricks of flight - flying backwards, hovering in place. Zip. Zip. From
perch to perch in a blur of iridescence. If you want a symbol of freedom,
the hummingbird is it. Exuberant. Unpredictable. A streak of pure fun. It
is the speed, of course, that gives the ... more »

lying, stealing, cheating and killing, and in our hearts we all know this,
but the consequences of facing all these lies are so monstrous, we keep on
hoping that maybe the corporate government administration and media are on

one's ribs get re-broken again."

“In attempting this psychological presentation and a psychopathological
explanation of the typical characteristics of a concentration camp inmate,
I may give the impression that the human being is completely and
unavoidably influenced by his surroundings. (In this case the surroundings
being the unique structure of camp life, which forced the prisoner to
conform his conduct to a certain set pattern.) But what about human
liberty? Is there no spiritual freedom in regard to behavior and reaction
to any given surroundings? Is that theory ... more »
