Today, I have signed into law S. 2943, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017."

My Administration strongly supports the bill's structural reform of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which streamlines BBG information operations...as sources of news and information. Section 1288 would elevate the current Chief Executive Officer of the Broadcasting Board of Governors to the head of the agency...

ABSTRACT

Digest commentary: A brief survey of recent US history based on “America’s Role in the Technetronic Era”
In stark and shocking detail (reprinted below), describing today’s reality in his 1970 Technetronic Era, Zbigniew Brzezinski reveals the breadth and depth of US imperialist geopolitical strategic analysis, planning and execution. Nothing we are told is true. Strategic Communications and Public Diplomacy in the US total information war promotes or masks historically unprecedented crimes.
WW2 objective: destroy the Soviet Union, #1 U.S. enemy and rival, stanch the spread of communist revolutions, and establish the post WW2 US dominated capitalist world order. In the name of the ‘great anti-fascist war”, Roosevelt and Churchill enlisted Stalin, already undermining the revolutionary socialist political struggle for communism with his ‘economics’ in command, joined the enemies imperialist war ‘to defeat Hitler’ -- already supported by major US capitalist forces.

Whether Franklin Roosevelt should or could have done more to rescue European Jews and stop Hitler’s killing machine is a question that will likely be debated by historians for decades..

Is America Still Safe for Democracy?
Why the United States Is in Danger of Backsliding
 May/June 2017 Issue < https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2017-04-17/america...
The election of Donald Trump as president  of the United States—a man who has praised dictators, encouraged violence among supporters, threatened to jail his rival, and labeled the mainstream media as “the enemy”—has raised fears the United States  may be heading toward authoritarianism. While predictions of a descent into fascism  are overblown, the Trump presidency could push the United States into a mild form of what we call “competitive authoritarianism”—a system in which meaningful democratic institutions exist yet the government abuses state power to disadvantage its opponents...
There is little reason to expect Americans’ commitment to democracy to serve as a safeguard against democratic erosion.

Lost cause? North Korea nuke threat awaits next president
10/28/16 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/28/lost-cause-north-korea-n...
WASHINGTON (AP) — If North Korea has been a foreign policy headache for Barack Obama’s presidency, it threatens to be a migraine for his successor. The next president will likely contend with an adversary able to strike the continental U.S. with a nuclear weapon....the North will grab more attention of the next president than it did for Obama, who adopted strategic patience: ramping up sanctions in a so-far fruitless effort to force the North to negotiate on denuclearization... National Intelligence director James Clapper said persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons is probably a “lost cause.” That appeared to challenge to a key tenet of U.S. Policy..

“The only revolution ever based on loving your enemy is the Negro revolution…That’s no revolution”
Malcolm X, 1963 speech, (Message to the Grass Roots, 9).

“We want freedom now, but we're not going to get it saying 'We Shall Overcome.' We've got to fight to overcome"
1965 speech, Malcolm X (Malcolm X Speaks, 38)

Malcolm X with Haley, Autobiography of Malcolm X, 1965.

Malcolm on the difference between the "house Negro" and the "field Negro."
Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. 23 January 1963.
Transcribed text from audio excerpt. [read entire speech

So you have two types of Negro. The old type and the new type. Most of you know the old type. When you read about him in history during slavery he was called "Uncle Tom." He was the house Negro -- probably in the basement or the attic --but he lived in the master's house.
And during slavery you had two Negroes. You had the house Negro and the field Negro.
The house Negro usually lived close to his master. He dressed like his master. He wore his master's second-hand clothes. He ate the food his master left on the table. And he lived in his master's house--
So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, "We have good food," the house Negro would say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have plenty of good food. When the master said that "we have a fine home here," the house Negro said, "Yes, we have a fine home here." When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master's house out than the master himself would.

Digest commentary: Malcom X, mortal foe of US white supremacist capitalism
North American ‘manifest destiny’ has wreaked unimaginable degradation, genocidal suffering and destruction, and has created the horror that gives rise to the unbearable conditions that mandate resistance and revolution.
Malcolm X, a former Muslim, one of our great revolutionary leaders, was murdered Feb. 21, 1965, by the U.S. as he was about to address a Harlem rally so fearful were the oppressors of the political movement his truthful leadership inspired. Malcolm told the truth and stripped the system bare naked for us. “They can kill revolutionaries, but they can't kill the revolution” as Fred Hampton, another murdered great revolutionary leader said.

digest: The Black Party, formed in 1966, influenced especially by Marx, Mao, and Franz Fanon, was so powerful by1969 US imperialism declared it the “greatest threat to the internal security of the U.S.”

"The Negro youth and moderate[s] must be made to understand that if they succumb to revolutionary teachings, they will be dead revolutionaries."
J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Chief, re: FBI COINTELPRO to destroy Black Panther Party leadership

"Revolution is never based on begging somebody for an integrated cup of coffee. Revolutions are never fought by turning the other cheek. Revolutions are never based on love-your-enemy...revolutions are never waged singing 'We Shall Overcome.'...Revolutions are never based on that which is begging a corrupt system to accept us... Revolutions overturn systems. And there is no system on this earth which has proven itself more corrupt, more criminal, than this system that in 1964 still colonizes 22 million African-Americans, still enslaves 22 million Afro-Americans."
April 8, 1964 Malcolm X

Why US Engineered Pearl Harbor Dec.7,1941
12/7/16 edited version of 12/7/10 http://www.burbankdigest.com/node/328

digest commentary:
WWII started in 1939 but despite desperate British pleas, the US did not enter the war until the attack it had engineered by the Japanese December 7, 1941. Contrary to the 'great anti-fascist war' myth, the US delay was designed so its 'allies' did most of the dirty ground work because the US primary strategic goal was defeating communism, the major threat to its unilateral global domination. Treacherously, Joseph Stalin, ‘leader’ of the supposedly still revolutionary Soviet Union, joined its imperialist enemies, apparently in hopes of appeasement and joining in 'mopping up the spoils... The US GWOT, also greenlighted by pretext, 911, is actually US WW3, to restructure its collapsed post WW2 global order with increasingly desperate terror demonstrating what Lenin said: capitalism in crisis is fascism

"...everything that the Japanese were planning to do was known to the United States..." ARMY BOARD, 1944 President Roosevelt (FDR) provoked the attack, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn the Hawaiian commanders... to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe...it was the backdoor to war.

This unprecedented capitalist crisis has led to unprecedented degrees of desperation — and geopolitical chaos and world war to restructure the world and capitalism is old history. What’s new now is the “Technetronic’ advantage. Redploying in high-tech the USNATO GLADIO postWW2 ‘cold war’ counter intelligence operation ”to “defend against Soviet invasion”, and later in terror attacks against the rising labor struggle and communist movements in Europe and the USA..

Fools voted 'against trump" for expansion of fascist US ‘new world order’ as Trump whips up an uber-patriot white nationalist movement

'Something is happening that is amazing,' Trump said. He was right ...
11/7/16 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/something-is-happening-that-is-a...
...Trump insisted he had sparked a political movement. He was right....He’s honest and speaks his mind, even if it gets him in trouble. And he’s tough..Trump told his supporters it was okay to blame their financial problems on undocumented immigrants and the Chinese, that it was okay to be fearful of Muslims and those who don’t speak English, that it was okay to punch back at Black Lives Matter activists, that it was okay to hate Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.... the palpable outrage, the sharing of conspiracy theories, the mob mentality...Early October after he’d apologized for recorded 2005 comments revealed by The Washington Post bragging about sexually assaulting women, and facing accusations from a growing number of women he forced himself on them...he said...“We’ve created a movement. This is like a great movement that the whole world is talking about. And honestly you’ll never have this chance; in four years, I don’t care who runs, you’re never gonna have this chance. So you have to get out and vote. Vote with all of your heart, vote with all of your soul, because this is it.”.
