The United States Fraudulent War Games?


Post by Illuminati Killers.


Saw this on Facebook and it was very interesting.  A must watch video.  What if this guy is right?  We can't say either way.  We are not there, we do not have anyone there, we are not privy to the information coming out of DC or what the orders are.  We can investigate it deeper, but would likely only confirm what this guy is saying.  Very interesting stuff to say the least.

Construction Begins for Amtrak Service to Roanoke

~ Northeast Regional service expanding in Virginia ~

RICHMOND –  Governor McAuliffe announced that the Commonwealth of Virginia, Amtrak, Norfolk Southern and the City of Roanoke are beginning the first phase of construction for the platform that will serve intercity passenger rail service to the Star City.

Amtrak service to the city will be an extension of the successful Northeast Regional train from Lynchburg and is anticipated to start in 2017. The service will provide a same-seat trip from Roanoke to Lynchburg, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and cities as far north as Boston. 

“Bringing passenger rail service back to Roanoke will be an enormous economic driver for the region and the entire Commonwealth,” said Governor McAuliffe. “I look forward to working with the parties involved to get this project completed so that Virginia families and our economy can benefit from this expanded service as soon as possible.” 

It has been 34 years since intercity passenger rail service has served Roanoke.

“Construction is a major development in our efforts to bring Amtrak service to Roanoke,” said Jennifer Mitchell, Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.“This new service is an example of the significant expansion of the Commonwealth’s passenger rail service. I appreciate the commitment of Amtrak, Norfolk Southern and the City of Roanoke to make this new service a reality.”

Virginia continues its ongoing commitment to congestion mitigation by offering the public alternate transportation choices to driving on congested highway corridors like I-81, Route 29, I-95, and Route 460 while expanding mobility and increasing connectivity for travel throughout the regions served by and along the Northeast Corridor.

“There is high demand for passenger rail service in Virginia as demonstrated by considerable ridership growth throughout the Commonwealth,” said Jay McArthur, Amtrak Principal Officer, State Partnerships. “We have developed a strong partnership with the Commonwealth and look forward to Roanoke as another service expansion in Virginia’s successful rail program, providing passengers with a convenient and pleasant service to Washington and other Northeast Corridor destinations.”

Roanoke is the latest step for Virginia to lead the way as one of the few states in the country to successfully negotiate the addition of new intercity passenger rail service in major rail corridors, balancing freight and economic development needs with additional intercity passenger rail options.

“Norfolk Southern and DRPT have a track record of success in implementing passenger service in Virginia,” said James A. Hixon, Executive Vice President, Law and Corporate Relations, Norfolk Southern Corporation. “We have made investments in our network, here in Roanoke and across the state, to ensure that passenger service is done safely and efficiently.”

“Given our history as a railroad town, the return of passenger rail is very exciting for the citizens of Roanoke,” said Roanoke Mayor David A. Bowers. “We are thrilled to see this initiative move forward, and anticipate the time when passenger service will once again be available to those who want to make connections, both inside and outside The Star City.”

(Never mind improving highways or building better roads.  Never mind the high fuel prices.  Traffic is actually down yet congestion is up?  How does that work?)

Governor McAuliffe announces new digital gateway to connect Chinese travelers to Virginia

~ Launch of new Chinese-language landing page will help travelers plan their next visit to Virginia~

(We need someway to provide Chinese investors a chance to visit their new purchases of Virginia and America)

RICHMOND –  Governor Terry McAuliffe announced yet another gateway connecting Chinese travelers to Virginia with the creation of a brand new landing page on the state’s tourism website, Virginia.org. The landing page, virginia.org/china, will provide Chinese travelers with unprecedented access to curated itineraries and resources, including information about the region’s rich history, diverse shopping opportunities, iconic cultural experiences, incredible outdoor activities, and award-winning culinary offerings. Additionally, Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) has produced a 15-page brochure which provides the Chinese traveler with a suggested six-day itinerary. All resources are provided in Chinese.

The new landing page is the 16th of its kind. VTC’s international landing pages currently welcomes visitors from countries like France, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, and Japan, each in the respective country’s official language.

With China as one of Virginia’s top emerging markets, Governor McAuliffe has recognized the importance of launching new initiatives to build Virginia’s economic bridge to China. The creation of the landing page follows a successful collaboration earlier this year with Air China, and the establishment of new nonstop flights between Beijing and Dulles International Airport in Virginia. The new air route is expected to bring in an additional 16,000 tourists and business travelers to the capital region annually, which will result in 24,000 additional hotel room nights and $14 million in local spending annually.

As part of the memorandum of understanding with Air China, today Governor McAuliffe met with eight Chinese tour operators visiting Virginia as part of a familiarization tour in Virginia Beach. The purpose of this tour is to create awareness of the exceptional travel experiences and tourism products that are available around the Commonwealth for Chinese travelers.

“The Commonwealth of Virginia has a longstanding and productive relationship with China, and I am passionately committed to expanding that relationship,” said Governor McAuliffe.  “There is great opportunity to continue building strong partnerships and a powerful bridge to connect our two great countries. These new resources will help unite businesses, friends, families, and universities, and will help us to continually improve our communication to Chinese travelers.”

“International tourism is one of our strongest markets, and one that has incredible growth opportunity,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Maurice Jones. “The estimated economic impact of Air China alone is evidence of just how important these partnerships are to the new Virginia economy. It is our hope that these new resources will continue to create opportunities for Chinese travelers to experience all Virginia has to offer for many years to come.”

Tourism is an instant revenue generator in Virginia. In 2013, travelers spent $21.5 billion, supporting 213,000 jobs and provided more than $1.42 billion in state and local taxes.

Virginia Congressman Rob Wittman's Weekly Address, April 15th, 2014

English:
English: (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Although Mother Nature has not quite decided, the calendar tells us spring is here. We welcome the hope of warmer weather, a chance to put away those winter coats, and plan a trip to the park with the children or grandchildren. And as the season changes to warm, welcoming weather, along comes a day and topic that, to some, may not be so welcoming: Tax Day.

Every year, April brings the deadline to file your tax return. Many Virginians have completed their paperwork and sent off a check to the federal government. But do you question where your money is allocated? Do you wonder if the IRS is being fair and impartial to each taxpayer? Do you believe that Washington spends your money wisely and with prudence?

Like many Americans, I believe government spending is out-of-control. We have lost faith in institutions such as the IRS as we listen to testimony of citizens citing solid proof of the targeting of certain groups based upon their beliefs. Like many Americans, I believe taxpayers deserve better, and they deserve a simpler, fairer tax code.  According to the non-partisan Tax Foundation, hard working taxpayers across Virginia worked from January 1, 2013 until April 20, 2013, to pay their share of taxes for the year before they began working for themselves. Some are struggling and sacrificing to provide for their families. We must encourage Washington to do better.

That’s why I support legislation to reform federal spending, such as the Balanced Budget Amendment, to ensure Washington doesn’t spend more than it brings in. I have cosponsored H.R. 1950, which would make it a crime for IRS employees to conduct targeted discrimination and would increase the maximum penalty for discriminatory misconduct against taxpayers from termination to criminal punishment. And I support the Fair Tax Act, which would repeal the income tax and employment tax, as well as the estate and gift tax, and replace them with a sales tax on goods and services purchased in the United States. The rate of this sales tax would be consistent across the country for every citizen.

Our nation was founded on the ideas of a representative government that works for its citizens. As I talk to folks across the First District, they support an efficient, fair government that does its job. With some hard work, I believe we can get there.
The main streets of Virginia’s First District are full of ideas to get our economy back on track, and your feedback is critically important to me as I serve you. I can be reached by telephone at (202) 225-4261, through my website (www.wittman.house.gov), on Facebook (www.facebook.com/reprobwittman), and via Twitter (www.twitter.com/robwittman).

RICHMOND- Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this afternoon following the tragic shootings at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., earlier today.


“Our thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted by today’s tragic shooting. Innocent lives have been lost. Families are in mourning. It is absolutely heartbreaking. All of Virginia’s law enforcement resources remain ready to assist authorities as the investigation moves forward. America is a nation of good and peaceful people. Horrendous, evil acts of violence will not shake our national unity and character. In the aftermath of this tragic day, I urge all Virginians to always remember to thank the brave law enforcement, first responders and military personnel in their communities for their dedicated and sacrificial service on our behalf.”

Russian Forces to Provide “Security” At US Events

FEMA signs deal with Russian Emergency Situations Ministry to “exchange experts”

Paul Joseph Watson
 Infowars.com
 July 1, 2013
As part of a deal signed last week in Washington DC between the
Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and FEMA, Russian officials will
provide “security at mass events” in the United States, a scenario
that won’t sit well with Americans wary of foreign assets operating on
US soil.

According to a press release by the Ministry of the Russian Federation
for Civil Defense and Emergencies, US and Russian officials met on
June 25 at the 17th Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on
Emergency Situations.

In addition to agreeing with FEMA to “exchange experts during joint
rescue operations in major disasters,” the Russian Emergency
Situations Ministry will also be providing “security at mass events”
in the United States.

This suggests that events designated as “National Special Security
Events” by the Department of Homeland Security, which include the
Super Bowl, international summits such as the G8 and presidential
inaugurations, will now rely partly on Russian authorities to provide
security.

The meeting last week also agreed on the conclusion that US and
Russian emergency authorities will increase their co-operation, “in
order to respond efficiently to all kinds of disasters.”

The use of foreign troops or other officials in a law enforcement
capacity providing “security” inside the United States is illegal
under Posse Comitatus. Capt. William Geddes of the U.S. Army Reserve
acknowledged last year that it is against federal law to use US troops
to conduct police patrols, despite the fact that such occurrences are
becoming increasingly common. The use of foreign troops is an even
more clear cut violation of Posse Comitatus.

Last year we reported on how Russian troops were invited to the US as
part of a Fort Carson, Colorado drill focused around anti-terror
training. Aside from learning how to target terrorists in America, the
Russian soldiers were also out in the local community attending a
baseball game in Colorado Springs.

As Mac Slavo writes, “Rumors have circulated for years about the
possibility of foreign troops being deployed on U.S. soil in the event
of a widespread declaration of a national emergency. For quite some
time there have been anecdotal reports to support the claim that the
U.N., Russia and other nations would be used in a policing capacity
should some critical event befall our nation.”

“The fear should such a scenario take place has been that these
soldiers would act under the banner of their own flags, ignoring the
fundamental protections afforded to our citizens, leaving Americans
under the jurisdiction of people who don’t speak our language or
respect our fundamental rights to self defense, to be secure in our
homes, and to be presumed innocent in the eyes of the law.”

Concerns about foreign troops being used on US soil have lingered ever
since the release of State Department Publication 7277, which is a
blueprint for the harmonization of US and Russian forces under a
framework of United Nations-led global government.

Back in 2008 it was also reported that US and Canadian authorities had
signed an agreement that would pave the way to using each other’s
militaries on both sides of the border “during an emergency”.

Alex Jones has documented foreign troops being trained on U.S. soil to
deal with “insurgents” since the late 1990′s as part of “urban warfare
drills”.

Back in July 2010, our reporters covered the Operation Vigilant Guard
exercises in Chicago which involved Polish troops training alongside
U.S. National Guard troops in drills focused around raiding terrorists
and drug dealers.

According to SFC Mark Ballard of the Illinois National Guard, the
Polish forces were “integrating into some of the civil military units
that are participating in this exercise” as part of Illinois’
partnership with the Republic of Poland, a relationship based around
“integrative training” and blending military and civilian forces in
the event of a national emergency, as well as making this process of
integration with foreign troops more “visible”.

http://www.infowars.com/russian-forces-to-provide-security-at-us-events/  Link back to original story.

This is beyond ridiculous.  The Russians would not stand for US troops at their national events, why should we?  We highly recommend national blackouts.  Instead of protesting at these events, we highly recommend the complete non support of the events.  Starting today, this site is starting a national blackout of all sports coverage.  We will post sports updates as national blackouts.

  You change the system by forcing the system to not be supported by anyone.  This is the most effective weapon.  Take away all funding support and force those with the most to lose, to change the system.  Otherwise it's business as usual.  It's all part of the one world order.  A one world order would not be bad if it were not totalitarian, but the one world order that is coming is totalitarian.  Your voice will mean nothing.  We have covered on this site how you are not even allowed to voice your opinions these days without some sort of backlash.  It's going to get worse unless you are willing to change it from the inside now.
