A Terrifying Way to Discipline Children "Stuffed inside a duffel bag... Thrown in the hall like trash!"

By BILL LICHTENSTEIN: IN my public school 40 years ago, teachers didn’t lay their hands on students for bad behavior. They sent them to the principal’s office. But in today’s often overcrowded and underfunded schools, where one in eight students receive help for special learning needs, the use of physical restraints and seclusion rooms has become a common way to maintain order.

It’s a dangerous development, as I know from my daughter’s experience. At the age of 5, she was kept in a seclusion room for up to an hour at a time over the course of three months, until we discovered what was happening. The trauma was severe.

According to national Department of Education data, most of the nearly 40,000 students who were restrained or isolated in seclusion rooms during the 2009-10 school year had learning, behavioral, physical or developmental needs, even though students with those issues represented just 12 percent of the student population. African-American and Hispanic students were also disproportionately isolated or restrained.

Joseph Ryan, an expert on the use of restraints who teaches at Clemson University, told me that the practice of isolating and restraining problematic children originated in schools for children with special needs. It migrated to public schools in the 1970s as federal laws mainstreamed special education students, but without the necessary oversight or staff training. “It’s a quick way to respond but it’s not effective in changing behaviors,” he said.

Sweden Goes Cashless - Tyranny Reigns

Gerald Celente: Sweden is on a fast track heading towards a completely cashless society. According to the Bank Of International Settlements bills and coins represent only 3 percent of Sweden's economy, compared to an average of 9 percent in the eurozone and 7 percent in the U.S. A move towards a cashless society is a move towards total tyranny. Sweden is a NWO test tube, it has been that way for a long time. Many things were tested in Sweden first before being pushed further afield. Of course it is always promoted as ''progress''. Sweden despite its tolerant and liberal veneer is one of the most controlled nanny states in Europe, government has its nose in everybody's business. People without a card to use will be looked down upon, like paper currency is like an embarrassment the way it was when paper Food Stamps were used in the past. Cash is a 'low class' currency. It will become hip, cool & the "in thing" to have the chip implanted...it will be the rave by those that are 'progressive & modern'. Watch the celebrities start pushing the propaganda as a status symbol. Source

THE ESM’s ARTICLES: today’s must-read - The Slog

You don’t get me I’m part of the Union

Draghi reinvents the Divine Right of Kings

Hitler’s 1933 Post-Reichstag Fire Emergency Decree had nothing on the newly drafted ESM Charter. You can read it here in full at the EU website: the mad folks are getting more brazen by the day, but they’re still leaving the nasties until the contemporary MSM journalists get bored: so the really startling stuff doesn’t appear until  Article 32. These are the extracts that matter, quoted verbatim except for the usual deliberately baffling legalese:
Article 32, para 3: The ESM, its property, funding and assets, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall enjoy immunity from every form of judicial process. (There is one exception – entirely in the ESM’s favour)
para 4: The property, funding and assets of the ESM shall, wherever located and by whomsoever held, be immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation or any other form of seizure, taking or foreclosure by executive, judicial, administrative or legislative action
para 8: To the extent necessary to carry out the activities provided for in this Treaty, all property, funding and assets of the ESM shall be free from restrictions, regulations, controls and moratoria of any nature
Article 35, para 1:  In the interest of the ESM, the Chairperson of the Board of Governors, Governors, alternate Governors, Directors, alternate Directors, as well as the Managing Director and other staff members shall be immune from legal proceedings with respect to acts performed by them in their official capacity and shall enjoy inviolability in respect of their official papers and documents.

Greeks 'including military and police' take to streets in light of new cuts - "Solidarity" and "Overthrow"

Thousands have taken to the streets throughout Greece to protest the drastic budget cuts proposed by the government. Minor scuffles with riot police took place in Thessaloniki after some youths set rubbish on fire and burned an EU flag.
In Athens some 2,000 pensioners marched through the city to protest newly introduced pension cuts.
It was announced that those who earn more than 1,000 euros a month will have 10 percent of their pensions axed. This is despite a 25 per cent cut over the last two years.
"They have cut our pensions into little pieces. They've imposed an unfair property tax, other taxes, taxes on petrol, the supermarkets are expensive. They have squeezed the life out of us, they've disgraced us," a pensioner told AP.
Saturday's protests in Athens, which also included trade unionists, caused severe disruptions to traffic. Major roads in the downtown area were also blocked to weekend traffic.
Meanwhile, several demonstrations are taking place in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The largest one is by military and police personnel, who protest wage cuts.
The streets were decorated with banners reading "Solidarity" and "Overthrow" as protesters marched

The world peace invitation and release of technology: The 2nd international presentation: How to become an axis of evil

M T Keshe: We have been asked to make our point clear about the upcoming expected and possible war between Iran and US.
We release the new information below to pre-empt any new plans for a new war in the world and as a prelude to our conference in September.

We explain here how nations like Iran are made to look as if they become an axis of evil in the eyes of the international community through pre-planned actions of some nations to start new international crises.
Prepare yourselves as this will be a long read, but it is important that one understands why we call upon nations for our upcoming meeting. We are fully aware of what we are releasing and now we want not only the nations but the citizens of the earth to understand the real depth of the Foundation's knowledge of the hidden working of all nations and the reasons for our actions, even though sometimes they look as if they are against our ethos. (Please advise if you see any mistakes in the text for them to be corrected.)
The second part of this statement will be released soon by the Foundation.
For those who do not know, here we lay the groundwork for the effort of the Foundation for the peace conference due on the 6th of September of 2012 in Keshe foundation centre in Belgium

Our firm belief is that:

There shall be no war between Iran, Israel and US, as the latter have more and may be all to lose if such an action takes place, and this is a clear message from this Foundation. If you are interested to know why we give such an indication please take note of the following paragraphs in this open letter.
How any nations become an axis of evil according to the pre-mandated action of the real evildoers of the earth is easy to understand and to be seen and read as follows:
As most of the readers of this forum know and some have listened to my previous interviews over the past years, they know my education background and my work.
It is important to make clear some points for all readers and the world audience to know how every nation can become an axis of evil according to the agreement signed by President Reagan and Mrs Thatcher in the late seventies and the establishment of the nuclear triad connection between the USA, UK and France.

Wall Street zombies, hyenas dodge tax: Webster Tarpley

As the Democratic National Convention got underway in Charlotte, North Carolina, America's national debt topped 16 trillion Dollars. As the news came out, Republicans began pouncing. But who is to blame for this enormous debt? Democrats, Republicans, or both? The fact is that the US govt., whether a Republican or a democrat, has for the past decade, spent money that it has not had. The incumbent Barack Obama has already spent more in 3.5 years of his term, over $5 trillion, more than George Bush Jr. did in 8 years. Source

Revealed: the richer sex... after 1984

By Fraser Nelson: The cover story of the new Spectator is one of the most startling we have run for a while. Last year, Liza Mundy wrote a book called The Richer Sex showing how women would become the biggest earners in most American households within a generation. She has now studied the British data and found that the trend here is even more advanced. It’s not about equality. Women born after 1985 have not just ‘caught up’ with men, but are overtaking them. But while we Brits tend to joke about this, and talk about being ‘pursewhipped,’ the Americans are taking it seriously and understanding how it is changing society forever.
This means that my two sons can expect to grow up in a Britain very unlike the one I grew up in. They will see a country where the majority of doctors are women, where being female means you will do better at school and are more likely to go to university. Anyone born after 1985 will have seen a world where girls do better and now, for the first time, a male pay gap has opened up. In their 22-30s, women are paid more. This is the natural and inevitable consequence of the era where they are better-educated. This is not just economic.
This will even affect sex lives: Liza Mundy interviewed a woman who earns three times more than her husband. He told her that, after she got a bonus, her husband would watch TV instead of join her in bed. The evidence is more than anecdotal: there are already studies showing that men out-earned by their wives are more likely to take medicine for erectile dysfunction. This could be a generational thing: tomorrow’s men may be easier about earning less than their partner.
Liza’s insight is that neither men nor women grew up preparing for the era they now find themselves in, which is causing needless unhappiness. The UK economic model (and appallingly expensive childcare system) is geared towards one-earner households (unlike the Scandinavian, designed to have two-patent earners). Women worry about ‘marrying down’ and they shouldn’t. Men should similarly lose these hangups. There was a whole bunch of data and studies used for Liza’s cover story, not all of which we could fit into her excellent piece. But here’s some more.

Uncle CyberSam Prepares To Defend Your Internet For You

Submitted by Tyler Durden: There was a time when the NSA would not know the content of this sentence minutes (or depending on the speed of typing, hours) ahead of our general readership. Those days are now gone, primarily thanks to the Patriot Act, which however merely accelerated the inevitable Orwellian destination to which American society was otherwise headed and which made constant "supervision" and "vigilance" of every US citizen a necessity (for some eyewatering details read “We Are This Far From A Turnkey Totalitarian State" - Big Brother Goes Live September 2013). There was, however, one aspect of society over which the US government did not have Chinese-type "firewall" supreme authority: the Internet. Now, as a result of an Executive Order being quietly drafted, the president of this once great country, together with the Department of Homeland Security formed in response to the events of September 11, is about to grasp supreme control over this last bastion of New Normal expression and content dissemination, naturally under the guise of protecting the people. Because as Bloomberg reports, President Obama’s administration is drafting an executive order that would create a program protecting vital computer networks from cyber attacks.

The premise: the US government needs to defend the feeble and defenseless private sector from all enemies, foreign and domestic, because, it would appear, the private sector is incapable of defending itself. And Uncle Sam is more than happy to supervise and take charge of said "defense." “An executive order is one of a number of measures we’re considering as we look to implement the president’s direction to do absolutely everything we can to better protect our nation against today’s cyberthreats,” White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in an e-mailed statement today. “We are not going to comment on ongoing internal deliberations.” Also, did we mention that the US president's decision for the greater private good would be unilaterally imposed, without the benefit of a democratic vote: after all executive orders, of the type Obama has issued 134 so far, do just that: circumvent the popular vote.

Roman Catholic Church continues to support Bishop convicted of covering up for pedophile priest

By Madison Ruppert: Bishop Robert Finn of the Diocese of Kansas City, who was found guilty of failing to report suspected sexual abuse of a child to authorities, is now refusing to resign and the Roman Catholic Church is wholly supporting him in this refusal.
Unfortunately it seems that the Roman Catholic Church has absolutely no problem with these types of activities based on their reaction to this case, although to their credit they have removed some clergy in the past over sex abuse allegations. What might be even more troubling is that one such Catholic priest was later hired as a supervisor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
That being said, they are about as far from blameless as they could get since Pope Benedict XVI himself refused to remove a priest “who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part of a lawsuit,” according to The New York Times.
The charges brought against Robert Finn were, in my opinion, far from adequate seeing as he was only charged with two crimes and only found guilty of a single misdemeanor charge.
He was found guilty for “failing to report a priest who had taken hundreds of pornographic pictures of young girls,” according to The New York Times and each count carried a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Finn also failed to respond to warnings received by the diocese from a principal at a parish elementary school which detailed the suspicious behavior of Reverend Shawn Ratigan around children.

Plot to unseat UK PM Cameron exposed

A backbench Conservative member of British parliament (MP) has unveiled a conspiracy to oust Prime Minister David Cameron, local media reported.
 
Colonel Bob Stewart MP confirmed on Saturday night that he was asked to consider a "stalking horse" leadership challenge against the Prime Minister, British media reported.

Stewart said that two party colleagues submitted him the proposal before the summer break, but that he rejected it as “silly”, telling them to “get lost”.

Colonel Stewart was commanding officer of the British battalion in Bosnia before he entered politics.

"It was a silly suggestion that I dismissed. I told them to get lost”, he said adding "I was not having anything to do with it."
