The other day, checking in at a European airport for an international flight - within about an hour it took to deposit my luggage, going through airport security, the metal detectors, body screening machines, the automatic passport reading procedure, waiting at the gate and finally boarding - I have heard or read the words security and safety, honestly speaking, more than a hundred times...

There are now countless primitive videos - in fact, insultingly primitive videos - that show you the precise procedures to follow to keep you 'safe' and 'secure'...

All you have to do is follow them to keep your life safe and in secure hands. It is a constant indoctrination that we are in danger and that the democracy around us keeps us safe.

Some paper in my shirt pocket and a handkerchief I didn't remove from my pocket - had to go through a special 'dust reader'; my hands were also 'dusted off' and the special tissue used for it also went through the 'reader' - only then, when indeed the result was negative, was I free to collect my things - and get redressed. I wondered aloud how many valuable items, like cell phones, laptops, cameras and-so-on - 'disappear' - or get 'lost' in the hassle, and I could not shut up making my comments about the nonsense - the George Bush invented 9/11 endless war on terror, that itself was based on a false flag, i.e. the self-imposed 9/11 - and that prompted this forced submission to an ever-more degrading and harassing security procedure.

About three security agents descended on me - this time politely, I must say, assuring me that all this was for my own safety. Naturally. How could it be different...

We want you to be safe and secure, Sir. Bingo.

It's difficult to protest against so much protective kindness.

• Does anybody have an idea on what this security and safety industry - the machines and apparatuses, and ever newly invented security gadgets - cost?

   

• And the profit they bring to the war and security industry - and their shareholders, many of whom are former high-ranking US and other western government officials?

The airport security business alone is estimated at between US$ 25 and 30 billion per year.

What can I say. These airport security employees have jobs; they have been trained to use these billions-worth devices to intimidate and harass people into fear, into obeying, into blindly - no questions asked, following the dictate of democracy.

Most of these security agents don't know much about what they are doing.

They have a noble job:

protecting the world from terrorists, a job that keeps them proudly off an ever-growing mass of unemployed, or underemployed, lowly-paid workers.

Free thinking is not allowed, lest you are pushed out into the cold, to join the ranks of beggars, of the socially unfit, who depend on government handouts.

Once on the plane - I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a flight attendant by the name of "security and safety". Well that was her title, instead of a real name. Lovely, I thought. It doesn't stop.

Security and safety brainwashing permeate every fiber 24/7 of our lives.

Security and safety über alles! - Heil to the neocons, heil to the neonazis that have taken over the reins of our every-day life.

And I'm not talking about the political parties of the extreme 'right' in France or Germany, they are just puppets for the invisible elite, for those 'deepstaters' that pull the strings behind the,

Trumps, Macrons, Merkels and Mays of this world.

Of course, it's all for your security, my security, at best, for national security - not theirs, the ones who impose these nonsensical rules, rules that serve strictly for no other purpose than to oppress the common citizen, to brainwash the populace into believing that they are under a constant threat of attack...

Illegal US Sanctions Extended on Russia and Venezuela

Back to the airport.

At the hand baggage x-ray control, where everybody has to put their cosmetics in a transparent plastic bag, pull out their laptops, tablets and cameras, and are being told what items are not allowed on board, ridiculous stuff, absolutely hilariously ridiculous - if it wasn't that serious - and all for your own safety, naturally - I was being pushed aside for a service man who delivered a case of bananas to the restaurant in the waiting hall.

His bananas had to be cleared by the x-ray machine. Imagine! - They could be objects of terror, maybe even weapons of mass destruction - WMDs.

The real WMDs that kill millions on an every-day basis, in Yemen, in Syria, in Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan - and the list goes on - nobody talks about.

They have become common staple of our "secure" and "safe" world.

The United Nations during the ongoing Annual Meeting in New York, declared Yemen a country governed by terror - yes, the Yemenis, who are starved to death like no other nation in recent history, with - also according to the same UN - 5 million children at high risk of death by famine.

Not the Saudis, or the United States of America, or the UK, the French, the Spaniards, who feed the Saudis with war planes and bombs, with real weapons of mass destructions - are the terror nations. No, its Yemen...

What world have we ended up with?

We are governed by a bunch of criminals and crooks, who benefit from our ignorance and mentally challenged brains. In the submissive west, the utterly brainwashed and by now almost brainless populace is reminded that we are screened for security purposes, for our own security.

Every time the screws of security are tightened a little more, the arms are twisted a bit further, just a tiny bit - never forget, its only for our security and safety.

By the time, my dear fellow citizens, we realize that our arms are broken and our skulls and brains smashed beyond repair, it's too late.

As we are reminded by our masters that keep us secure and safe, we are also reminded that we are living in the only democracy that exists on the planet, namely western style democracy.

Never mind, this democracy is often, most often in fact, imposed to the rest of the world by sledgehammer, or even by WMDs.

We, of course, don't know that; we are made believe, that all those countries that are being 'regime-changed', or destroyed for the sake of democracy are being destroyed for the betterment of their citizens living conditions. That's what we are made believe.

There is no other set of nations - with a thousand years of horrific history of exploitation, killing, raping, looting, lying - than the west.

And the west, to this day, continues lying and manipulating peoples' minds in a more sophisticated way than even Goebbels could have dreamed of.

Can you imagine - the "Peru Six", the neocons - very close to neonazis - of the Americas - (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Perú and Canada), of course all in the pockets of Washington - have had the unbelievable audacity to file a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice of The Hague (ICJ) against Venezuela for torturing and oppressing her people to the point that 2 million had to leave the country...

This is such a flagrant multiple lie - it is actually a crime against humanity, against the only - yes, the very only real democracy left in the west, Venezuela - to make one's stomach churn.

The maximum 500,000 to 700,000 Venezuelans, who, according to UNHCR and the International Organization of Migration, have migrated to neighboring countries, because of the foreign imposed - yes totally foreign imposed, by sanctions of the US and the EU - plus shamefully neutral Switzerland - horrendous economic conditions of the country.

The Maduro Government is struggling to reverse that situation by de-linking Venezuela's economy from the dollar economy, by creating new alliances with the east, in particular China and Russia.

And as there are signs that the wheel may be turning favorably for Venezuela, some of the migrants are already returning...

But can you imagine what these six Latin American Washington bootlickers do to the reputation of Venezuela?

And they may actually be welcome in The Hague, especially after John Bolton, Trump's neocon "Security Adviser" - again Heil-Heil Security! - has warned the judges of this once-upon-a-time noble-intentioned international court, to beware and behave, and never pursue (war) crimes committed by the United States and Israel, meaning in clear text - obey and do what is in the interest of the exceptional nation(s), or else...

So, the ICJ may actually be compelled to consider the malicious and totally fake and deceitful complaint of the Peru Six seriously.

And all that under the name of 'democracy'...

Wake up, dear co-citizens! - Its high time. We are living in an abject Security Dictatorship, called Democracy.

It imposes an ever-increasing militarization, becomes an ever more brutal police state - or better, an association of brutal police states, to be sure, that if and when you wake up, your awakening will be smashed with visceral power of a legalized, totally legitimate Security Dictatorship.

If we don't act now - and acting starts at these dreadful, humiliating and harassing security stupidities we accept everyday at airports around the world - we will be fried for good.

Stand up folks...! Stand up for your rights and against the day-in-day-out brainwashing of keeping you secure. Let's take back our security sovereignty - we and only we, as citizens, colleagues and comrades, are responsible for our own security.

Let not security and safety be imposed by criminal, warmongering, children-killing Security Democracies - namely our western governments...
