Thanks Greg for another great wrap!
On this the 4th of July, the meaning and effectiveness of Democracy should be contemplated and I believe that it is of great importance that there exists the choice of a third political party, no matter how small. Let me explain why.

In my own country of Australia the two main political parties are the Liberal Party (think Republican) and Labor Party (think Democrat) who between them control the legislative output of the Government. But there is also a Senate where Australians have deliberately elected third parties to hold the “balance of power”, which can block any legislation that is not in the Nation’s best interest. This works on a superficial level because the two major parties are always at each others throats and so the third party only has to back one side or the other to affirm or deny. It also works on deeper level because IF the money-men cannot buy the third party, then they cannot buy any of the Government, because they cannot control the final vote on the legislation.

This system became entrenched back in 1977 when Don Chipp (Liberal) became disenchanted with the major parties and formed a new party called the Australian Democrats, whose most famous public promise was to “Keep the Bastards Honest”, although he also stood for tolerance, compassion, justice and direct democracy, so that “there should be no hierarchical structure … by which a carefully engineered elite could make decisions for all members of Government.”

Chipp’s resignation speech from the Liberal Party on 24 March 1977 concluded with the following remark: “I have become disenchanted with party politics as they are practised in this country and with the pressure groups which have an undue influence on the major political parties. The parties seem to polarise on almost every issue, sometimes seemingly just for the sake of it and I wonder if the ordinary voter is not becoming sick and tired of the vested interests which unduly influence political parties and yearns for the emergence of a third political force, which owes no allegiance to outside pressure groups. Perhaps it may be the right time to test that proposition.”
Although the party he founded folded 31 years later (after straying too far from its core mandate) it served Australia well and Australians have continued on with the practice of electing third parties to “Keep the Bastards Honest”.

The modern day equivalent to Don Chipp is probably Nigel Farage with his UKIP party in the United Kingdom, whose popularity continues to grow. But as yet there appears to be no equivalent in America, even though America is crying out for change, which is evidenced by the latest Gallop poll that shows Congress is less popular than dog poop and that Americans now distrust all forms of their Government and are at their wits end with the current system:
http://www.infowars.com/gallup-congress-approval-rating-sinks-to-historic-low/
http://www.infowars.com/gallup-all-branches-of-government-hit-record-low-approval-ratings/

Judging from the Australian experience and the current mood of the American people, I believe that a third party would become instantly successful by adopting Don Chipp’s manifesto:
[1] Keep the Bastards Honest
[2] Direct Democracy
[3] Protect the Constitution

Divisive issues such as religion, abortion, gay rights, immigration and gun control should be avoided – not because they are not important – but because the party should be positioned above politics and money, fighting only for Honesty, Democracy and the Constitution. Stray from this foundation and the party will quickly blur into the others, lose its moral mandate and ultimately fall to the money sponsored candidates.

Yes, I know that American politics is (currently) all about money and not morality, but if the significant force that is represented by alternative media (such as USAWatchdog) were to band together and help the new party, then advertising and campaign expenses could be kept to a minimum and “people power” could win over money. Our Don Chipp was able to dramatically change Australian politics on a shoe-string budget, because the people understood his vision and its urgency and by word of mouth the people carried him forward on their shoulders.

However you choose to organize it yourselves, I would personally love to see the day when an Independent Representative of the American People pounds into the President and then with the full support of the people goes on to unwind all of the un-Constitutional laws that are killing your country – just like Don Chipp did 40 years ago. Indeed, there are so many urgent things to be done, which neither the Republicans nor Democrats can touch because they are against the interests of the controlling money men – like ending the Fed, jailing the bankers, bringing back sound money and starting an open and honest dialogue in the Middle East, which actually seeks peace rather than US arms sales and hegemony through endless war!

Over the past few years, I have been hoping that good men like Rand Paul might actually break free and lead the charge. But unfortunately, whether coming from the Democratic or Republican side, they are still bound into their party hierarchy and therefore still bound into their financial supporters, rather than the people. But a few days ago Colin (from NZ) started me thinking about great Australian politicians and when I thought about Don Chipp I realized the solution.

As I have said before, independent third parties have served Australia brilliantly for the last 40 years. With great excitement, they are now developing and sweeping through Europe and (I believe) that America is cherry ripe to take this next step in the evolution of its own democracy – by establishing an independent third party which is above politics and money – fighting for Honesty, Democracy and the Constitution. You will be amazed by how warmly the concept will be greeted by the people and what an incredible difference it will make to your country! Yes it will require some initial work and the finding of an honest leader, but it should snowball quite quickly from there…

Finally, can I say that Obama’s first “change speech” fooled me too and that I am now bitterly disappointed. Change was required and was promised after 2008, but nothing has happened except that the rich have become richer and the poor have become poorer. But having been fooled once, anyone who believes the next Democratic or Republican making the same speech is a complete idiot. Yes you need the change that was promised – but no, you will not get it from your current “democracy” – because that “democracy” is being run by the money-men, for the money-men and is not a “democracy” at all. To get the change you want, you will have to follow Don Chipp and change the system itself.

For those interested in THE MAN, a brief profile can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Chipp
As a keen supporter in the late 1970s, I remember him as a brilliant, hard working, chain smoking, heavy drinking, loveable man with a great sense of humour – who fought for his country against both the money-men and the Government and won(!) – because he appealed directly to the people and his honesty and clear vision were undeniable. And today, when I look around the world and then back at my own country, I appreciate his efforts even more – RIP Don – you were magnificent!

Hello greg ..

Yes I agree,,,,
And thank you fore reporting on relevant issues in the middle east, and just as important bringing good and relevant guests on ,, to give us some insights on,,, what is realy going on behind the scenes,,
The threat to the petrodollar is a really important key issue to understand,,, and USA Watchdog is doing a good job…conveying important stoff ,,,,,,,but just in my opinion,,, I often think about the fact ,, that when the world reserve currency status is finally gone. ,,,, China and Russia Will probably be seen by many as,,,, the BIIIG heroes and winners,,,
And to some extent of course they are right,,,,, bringing down wallstreet , Langley ( maybe) ,,, and the overall hegemony,,,,, Well done ,,, good job ,,, so we are maybe sopposed to think that ewrything is fine….. Well I disagree,,,, Well just how much historic experience dó they have with the term FREEDOM,,,, would it be fair to say that they have implemented those values in their législation ,,,, just as one exampel …. I Think NOT …
We in the West ( europe and usa )HAVE the experience ,,, have done All the suffering ,,, bit by bit,,, through endless wars , a lot of pain and heartache ,,,, but now we largely just fell asleep,,, we are not awake,,, full of apathy and denial,,, afraid of the socalled terrorthreat ( All – CIA -da ) A’s Jim Willie says ,,,,, The masses are easily controlled,,, so it seems,,,,, BUT ,, I just Think that ,,, at a very late stage more people will wake up,,,
In Europe and USA ,,, because of the very valueabel experiences we had in the past,,, a rich history,,, FREEDOM is stronger than anything else,,, 🙂

And lastly ,,, Dó FSA ( free syrian army ) , IF ( islamic front) and other groups have hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of frontline with ISIL/ISIS ,,, TO DEFEND????
Some of the al Nusra group defected back to ISIS where they came from in the first place,,,,some of the moderate groups in the eastern Syria WHO ARE fighting ISIS there,,, are now threatening to lay down their arms ,,, why ? ,,, because of lack of support of arms and other supplies,,,,
Complete failure by the west, badly organiced opposition in Syria,,,, and the PORTRAYING of the conflict through spin , lies and propaganda….
Well just in my humble opinion,,, even though the opposition have all sorts of internal problems,,, there is a healthy part,,,, and those are the ones we are letting down.
The Russians are protecting their interest there,,, through the ASSAD regime- bombing people back to the stoneage. The American government is saying one thing and doing something else,,,, apparently they want chaos and commit suicide themselves at the same time ,,, blaming’ the others’….of course …. highjacking the public uprising in Syria and in the middeleast and USE IT fore their own covert purpose…

Ok enough with that,,,

Have a nice 4 th of july Greg and ewrybody…

People are missing the point about the youth immigration at the border. Our armed services are going to need an additional 800,000 troops in order to prosecute the next set of military conflicts. Where are they going to come from ? If we are going to achieve the objectives of the new American century, we need to get things going and make it happen now. Obama has finally demonstrated his agreement with what needs to be done. If Hillary was in office, I think we would have already been there. I saw a poll that says Romney would have been better in office than Obama. He certainly wouldnt have dragged his feet. If Hillary doesnt win the primaries, then we should probably target Romney for POTUS or maybe Jeb Bush. As Americans we need to start getting tghings done.

Greg:

Have a Happy and Safe Independence Day!

How can we believe anything the government says?
How can we believe anything the MSM has to report?
How is it that Obama has not been impeached?

The real problem is Congress! Over the last 70 years they have consistently worked to destroy America and they have almost completed that objective.

How is it that the American people have let it get to this point….?

Independence Day 2014:
Be sure to fly the United States of America flag upside down, in flag etiquette, an upside down flag is considered a “distress” signal.
The American People are under attack and in “distress” today on many fronts (our democracy has been overthrown and our Free Enterprise System of capitalism economy has been destroyed) by the same criminals that successfully carried out the “inside job” attacks on 9/11/01. The American People have been under attack for 13 years!!!
Illegal immigration is just another fascist bankster/ big oil/ military complex/drugs criminal cartel orchestrated attack to destroy American Sovereignty with secret and illegal trade agreements and UN Agenda 21st Century.

Dear, Friends, family, countrymen and world citizens. As I get older, that spiritual part of me has taken an even deeper root within me. It has caused me to have a deeper appreciation of people, their joys when they are happy and their struggles when life gets tough. For most of us this weekend, we have an opportunity to share with others a very special commodity, which is our time. It’s an opportunity for us to spend our time thinking about others, talking with others and sharing our treasure with others. It is really about giving, giving away the most precious gift of all—our time. So this holiday weekend, don’t waste your time on things that don’t matter. Spend your time with those opportunities, people, friends, and family members that will enjoy it and in some cases need it as we behold the fateful day draw near when freedom will be a fond memory! . On behalf of myself, friends and family , I want to wish everyone a very happy day of remembrance, this July 4 th., of the freedoms we still enjoy. Now that we are a global family, us Watchdogs and as the days go from bad to worse, “Peace on Earth and Good Will to all Mankind.” It has never had a greater meaning than it has now. Let this be our prayer for everyone – That you will know the PEACE of God in these dark days ahead, and do what you can to bring HOPE and comfort to others as your God has given it to you. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1340465/Palace-breaks-with-tradition-in-musical-tribute.html

Great weekly wrap up! You keep saying that things are a mess! And they are a mess almost everywhere you look. However, these crises are not the culmination of a myriad mistakes made by leadership. These crises have been created by design! Order out of chaos!

Davis 07/05/2014  •

Has Obama reached his “A Bridge To Far?

In the fall of 1944 Allied military commanders in Europe had become quite impressed with themselves given the rapidity with which they had pushed the Wehrmacht back to the French frontiers and into Belgium. This led the British commander, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, to propose a daring airborne assault into the Netherlands and across the Rhine river that would open the plains of Northern Germany to the Allied armies and possible end the war in Europe by Christmas of 1944. This became know as “Operation Market Garden”, and Hollywood later depicted it as “A Bridge To Far”.

The operation was a costly disaster. British and American Airborne units found themselves dropped right into the face of marshaling German armor and mounted infantry units and were unable to long secure their objectives once the Germans counter attacked. The follow on ground units also faced heavy and determined resistance and were unable to move forward to relieve the beleaguered airborne units. The airborne units then had to undertake a fighting withdrawal back to allied lines and suffered heavy losses.

This terrible failure, brought about by the combination of overconfidence and hubris forced the allies to delay their plans for the push into Germany until the spring. Except the Germans were not going to wait on the allies and used the delay to organize and launch what became known as the “Battle of the Bulge” that nearly reversed the allied gains and if it had succeeded could have pushed the allies back into France.

Such may be metaphor for the Obama administration’s operations to flood the entire country with under aged and disease ridden children from Central America. The administration has achieved what it sees as victory after victory and faced little more than token verbal resistance from the public and empty blustering from an all but spineless and impotent Congress.

•Black Panther voter intimidation. Bluster and words from Congress followed by no action whatsoever. Political repercussions, zero and the media pushes it down the memory whole.
•Fast and Furious gun running operations to dangerous criminal cartels in Mexico. Two American Border Patrol Agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens killed with those very weapons. Bluster and words from Congress followed by no action whatsoever. Political repercussions, zero and the media pushes it down the memory whole.
•Internet spying into the Constitutionally protected research files of the Associated Press and other news media outlets. Bluster and words from Congress followed by no action whatsoever. Political repercussions, zero and the media pushes it down the memory whole.
•NSA spying on virtually everything. Ditto, ditto and ditto.
•IRS political targeting of opposition groups. Ditto, ditto and ditto.

With each new event the administration cements the pattern of reaction to public and Congressional opposition as “Dude, that’s so two years ago, so what difference does it really make.”

But then we had a sea change of sorts that has forced the media to report, even if somewhat dishonestly, public reaction to government lawlessness. First we had the Bundy Ranch events where hundreds of people turned out to oppose the BLM’s use of post-facto law to try and drive Clive Bundy of land that he and his family had been using for generations. The specter of an armed confrontation between BLM thugs and citizens standing in defense of Mr. Bundy’s rights caused the government to retreat for the moment and resort to their fall back tactic of using the compliant news media as its spear point in attacking Bundy personally as a deranged individual and a racist.

It must be admitted that this is an effective tactic, especially when the weight of media and government can be focused on a single individual and/or event in a remote and isolated location.

But now we have the debacle of the administration essentially opening our southern border to any and all comers. There is now growing evidence that this flood of Central American children has been planned and instrumented by the administration. The usual leftist meme of “We must protect the children.” isn’t working as hundreds of citizen are turning out in various locations where ICE and Home Land Security are attempting to buss in and dump hundreds of these illegals.

This has potentially created a big problem for the administration and their media lackeys. They don’t have a single event, location or person upon which they can focus their pressure on. Additionally it becomes harder and harder for the media to ignore hundreds of people gathering in numerous very visible and public locations especially when these protests are occurring in very “Blue” states like New York and California. Yes the administration and the media will try to portray this reaction as a manifestation of racism and so-called “white privilege” but without any single individual or event to target this becomes a much more tenuous position.

Portraying as racist honest soccer moms and hard working taxpayers, who are only trying to protect their own children from disease and their communities from further degradation, many of whom who probably voted for Obama once if not twice, is a dangerous tactic. If any of these protests turn
violent especially in a Blue state, the public’s alienation from and resentment of government will only grow, especially as the 2014 election approaches. (It’s interesting to note that they are not attempting to dump any of these bus loads in states with close Senatorial races.)

Making it worse for themselves Homeland security is both blocking duly elected public officials including Congressmen from viewing the facilities and conditions where these illegals are being held and they are threatening the medical personal treating them with arrest if they dare to reveal or talk about the diseases that are running rampant and no doubt getting worse under such crowded conditions. Measles, scabies and TB have already been documented.

The administration faces the further problem that if they are forced to back down in the face of mass public gatherings in protest of their actions, then the tactic will become more prevalent, frequently used and cemented in the minds of the opposition as an effective tool in fighting government tyranny.

The question then become one of when and how, and just how willing, will the fascists in DC be to turning loose their jack booted and militarized SS police thugs on an already defiant and angry public. Just how are they going to portray the suburban house wife and her office working husband as “domestic terrorists”?

NY Cop on the beat 07/06/2014  •

All the news we are hearing should gravely concern all Americans, but there is a lot of intelligence that has recently gone unreported or under-reported with some intances being a double edged sword. The influx at the southern border for example will be a huge manpower boost to our military recruitment, but we also have intelligence that Jihadest terrorists are making their way across the border with nuclear and biological materials. This should set off alarm bells in every jusrisdiction. Only an alert citizenry will preserve our way of life because absent this, the terrorists will have unfettered access to make 9-11 look like a garden party. These people hate our freedoms and way of life and we will be required to fight harder and make more sacrifices than at any other time in our history. The intelligence clearly indicates that these organizations are intent on executing massive operations accross the country and even in little towns and rural communities. We need everyone to be wide eyed and alert. These people will stop at nothing to kill as many of us as they can. Get to know your local law enforcement officers. They are your friends and the intelligence is only complete with confirmation input from a vigilant and alert citizenry. If you see anything suspicious no matter how small, point it out so that the safety of the homeland can be insured. God bless America and remember that when God is with us, who can be against us ? Our God is an awsome God and he reigns from heaven above and will provide us the necessary tools to defeat the enemies of freedom.

When will there be peace in the Middle East? Thats actually an easy question to answer. When the Arabs, Palestinians, Egyptian and Syrians love their children more than they hate the Jews.

WHERE WAS THE PALESTINIAN OUTRAGE WHEN TWO EVIL PALESTINIANS KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED TWO ISRAELI AND ONE AMERICAN TEENAGERS? Oh, I forgot…They celebrated those deaths. The only way to.defeat this type of evil is to kill them. You cant reason or change the mind set of a people that give their children vile, irrationality hatred with their mother’s milk.
“Thousands of Palestinians furious over the killing of a local teenager swarmed the streets of East Jerusalem on Friday to demand a new intifada. The fierce ­ clashes with police that followed the teen’s funeral stirred fears that a mass uprising could already be underway.
