Standing Rock 2017 will continue to be an issue

oilMakia Freeman – The fight of the Native American Indian tribes, environmentalists and the water protectors (protestors) is not over. Although the Army Corps of Engineers announced on Sunday December 4th, 2016, that it would not be granting the DAPL easement access, there is nothing to stop the oil company from disobeying that and moving forward anyway. After all, the amount they would have to pay in fines in insignificant next to the lost revenue they are experiencing from the delay of the project. The announcement offered temporary relief, but the battle is not over. Some at the camps have stated that the announcement was propaganda to lull people into a false sense of security. You can expect Standing Rock 2017 to be just as newsworthy as Standing Rock 2016. Before going further, however, it is worth revisiting the legal facts of the Standing Rock / DAPL issue, since there was so much emotion, disinformation and confusion surrounding it.

Historical Context of DAPL: Treatment of the American Indians in the Past

First we need to understand the background. In 1851, the Laramie Treaty was struck which outlined the territorial claims of 8 American Indian tribes including the Sioux. However 11 years later in 1862, after many years of broken promises by the US Government (treaty land not honored, food and supplies not delivered as promised), a war raged between members of the Dakota nation and the US military in southern Minnesota.

The Sacred Secret [w/ Video]

Aloe Vera Gel for Your Face And Skin: Best Product Recommendations, Uses and Benefits


oilDoreen Ann Agostino – According to Santos Bonacci and ancient Hermetic wisdom, our bodies are alchemical instruments. We have the ability to turn lead into gold. There are truths known and hidden that are so sacred and I feel like we should be learning this kind of stuff in school from early age.

We should advance kids even faster! I say this because kids really have it figured out. They know no limits. They have no conditioned limiting beliefs about money or possibilities.

It’s not some type of religion. It is esoteric truth and forbidden knowledge. I rely on my intuition a lot and everything about this information resonates with me on many levels. I encourage readers to keep an open mind and have an awareness of your inner voice as you look over the included blog post video.

Santos puts emphasis on the idea and understanding of “As above, so below.” Which if you don’t know about, you will certainly find out what it’s about if you take the time to check out some of his videos. Most of his recent ones are shockingly eye opening.

Your Body is the Holy Land

According to said source, there is a sacred secret kept from the masses. That secret is the esoteric science of physiological regeneration. Yep, you heard that right- REGENERATION. Apparently, our body has the ability to produce new blood and awaken our dormant brain cells as the ‘final product.’

2016 Financial Theme #1: The Loss of Great Power Leverage

civilCharles Hugh Smith – A number of systemic, structural forces are intersecting in 2016. One is the decline of Great Power leverage.

Once a nation’s civil society–broadly speaking, the institutions of social cohesion–has been shredded so that power rests in the hands of the few, the nation becomes exquisitely vulnerable to coups and regime change.

As the seminal book Coup d’État: A Practical Handbook (1968) explained, coups are a function of the concentration of power: if political power (and by extension of that leverage, economic/financial power) has been concentrated into the hands of a few, changing governments (and indeed, entire systems of control) is greatly simplified: kill, imprison or exile this handful of insiders, and the pyramid below will be yours.

This vulnerability makes any nation run by a small clique a very tempting target to Great Powers and neighboring nations seeking to become regional powers.

Nations with diverse civil societies–by definition, societies with a tolerance for dissent and multiple circles of civil, political, religious and economic power–cannot easily be captured by coups, as power is too diversified to be consolidated in a few hours by a tiny clique or the agents of a foreign power.

Captured ISIS Terrorist Admits Stolen Oil Arrives in Turkey Daily

oil Stephen Lendman – Russian surveillance footage, independent investigative journalists and others exposed Erdogan’s oil smuggling racket, complicit with ISIS, refining and selling stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil on the black market – Israel a key beneficiary.

Captured ISIS militant Mahmud Ghazi Tatar provided more evidence of illegal Turkish oil operations. His “commander told us that the group sells fuel to Turkey,” he explained.

Income funds ISIS terrorist activities. “(O)il trucks crossing into Turkey every day carry crude oil, as well as petrol,” Tatar said. Militants have “enough oil to last them a long time” – generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue annually along with other lucrative illicit operations supplying more, up to an estimated billion dollars annually.

Oil is sold through intermediary businessmen and traders, names not revealed. It’s well known Erdogan, his son, and high-level Turkish officials are involved, profiting hugely from smuggling operations. Continue reading

Who Owns ISIS? The Genie is out of the bottle!

Katherine Frisk – Since 2011 we have been told repeatedly that Assad must go! This mantra has been echoing in the British Houses of Parliament and in the US congress for four years.

A failed colour revolution, an “Arab Spring,” with snipers shooting at both protesters and police to incite violence, did not succeed in overthrowing the duly elected Assad government in spite of Assad being painted as Hitler and a murderer of his own people in the Murdoch propaganda media.

The aim of the overthrow of Assad is to create a Sunni caliphate incorporating Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia with a greater Israel extending from the Sinai across to the Euphrates river.

By the middle of 2013 the so-called rebel forces were by and large defeated by the Syrian Armed Forces and the staged chemical attack blamed on Assad turned out to be the handiwork of the rebels. “Moderate” by White House standards. Children abducted from their families and gassed to death is “moderate.” The demand for a no fly zone similar to the one imposed on Libya was vetoed by Russia. Syria was not bombed by NATO as a result.

Then out of no where, in flashy Toyota trucks, with a fully backed You Tube, Twitter and Internet presence accompanied by fake beheading videos using stage sets and blue screen, ISIS hit the headlines.

But who owns and controls ISIS?

Pepe Escober points out:

Daesh stolen oil can’t flow through Damascus-controlled territory. Can’t flow though Shiite-dominated Iraq. Can’t go east to Iran. It’s Turkey or nothing. Turkey is the easternmost arm of NATO. The US and NATO “support” Turkey. So a case can be made that the US and NATO ultimately support Daesh. What’s certain is that illegal Daesh oil and illegal KRG oil fit the same pattern; energy interests by the usual suspects playing a very long game. Continue reading
