Strongman Appeal
Turkey and Venezuela and the Philippines are technically
democracies, so why are the voters trending toward strongmen?
Turkey has just approved, by a valid referendum, giving Erdogan
sweeping powers. Per the Zetas, election fraud was not involved.
Erdogan showed his strength in July, 2016 too, when an attempted
coup failed due to his support in the citizenry. Now more powers
are pending, a return of the death penalty in Turkey. This is a
trend in Venezuela and the Philippines too, where Maduro and
Duterte have support. The Zetas explain.
- Erdogan Claims Vast Powers in Turkey
after Narrow Victory in Referendum
April 16, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/16/world/europe/turkey-referendum
- A slim majority of Turkish voters
agreed to grant sweeping powers to their president, in a
watershed moment that the country’s opposition fears may
cement a system of authoritarian rule within one of the
critical power brokers of the Middle East. With nearly 99
percent of votes in a referendum counted on Sunday night,
supporters of the proposal had 51.3 percent of votes cast,
and opponents had 48.7 percent, the country’s electoral
commission announced. The constitutional change will allow
the winner of the 2019 presidential election to assume
full control of the government, ending the current
parliamentary political system. The result tightens Mr.
Erdogan’s grip on the country, which is one of the leading
external actors in the Syrian civil war, a major way
station along the migration routes to Europe and a crucial
Middle Eastern partner of the United States and Russia.

- After claiming victory in a
referendum that greatly expands his powers, the President
of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly hinted that
the time has come for Turkey to consider reinstating the
death penalty. With most of the ballots counted, over 51
percent of the electorate have voted in favor of handing
Erdogan greater powers. The president called the ‘yes’
vote a historic decision by the Turkish people, expressing
hope that it will benefit the country.
- Duterte’s most Virulent Insults about
his Fiercest Critics

- When the European Parliament
passed a resolution concerning his plans to revive the
death penalty for drug convicts, Duterte was so angered
that he decided to speak in English, presumably to make
sure his message was heard loud and clear. “Do not impose
your culture or your belief in what would be a government
in this planet. The controversial leader made clear his
distaste for Barack Obama, calling the former president
and his entire administration "idiots." Duterte didn't
take kindly to the Catholic Church criticizing his 'war on
drugs,' so he lashed out, saying he may even pen his own
book about the Church – titled 'Hypocrisy.'

and paid for by drug dealers and illegal gamblers. There
was “compelling evidence” against Uy, who reportedly
called the targets — suspected drug dealers, petty
criminals, street children and others — “weeds” that had
to be uprooted in a “perverse form of crime control.”
Death squad members who have quit were also targets.

- Shortages and a crumbling economy
have forced Venezuelans to change their eating habits;
many are losing weight and battling malnutrition. The
problem has its roots in 17 years of economic
mismanagement and the gradual deterioration of Venezuela's
means of producing, importing and distributing foodstuffs
and other necessities.
ZetaTalk Insight
4/22/2017: During
times of turmoil and unease, the citizenry often longs for a
strongman. He promises to keep the wheels of society turning,
reduce crime and riots by a firm hand, prevent outsiders from
infiltrating the country and taking advantage of the
vulnerable, and thus is perceived as a guardian or the people.
During such times, they do not see the dangers in giving the
strongman such powers. Later, when trying to bring back civil
liberties or rein in the strongman, they realize what they
have done. History repeats itself in this regard. The desire
for a strongman can be seen in the rise of Duterte, the
Philippine strongman, and Maduro, the Chavez successor who has
been granted dictator status in Venezuela.
The desire for a strongman
can be seen in Turkey’s latest referendum, which was not
stolen by election fraud but is a valid vote count. An attempted
coup in July, 2016 showed Erdogan’s strength too. What
does the citizenry see, that engenders such loyalty? They see
Turmoil caused by ISIS, the danger that ISIS could invade
their country just as the flow of refugees has, and thus they
must ally with Russia and NATO partners, though both these
allies make them uneasy. They see an increased threat from the
Kurds, who seek the return of lands traditionally in
Kurdistan. They are experiencing rejection from the European
Union, where they are denied membership. Thus Erdogan, the
strongman, benefits.
Deep State Agenda
If Strongmen are attractive during times of crisis, the
self-serving Deep State is not. The Deep State is composed of
bureaucrats and long term employees who are seeking to
perpetuate their jobs. There are often sleeper cells left by the
exiting administration, placed there to do the bidding of the
last administration. Protected by civil service laws making it
hard to summarily dismiss these members of the Deep State, they
can only be removed by budget cuts affecting their department.
Thus, when Trump suggested cutting federal employees, the alarm
went off.

So, I've heard deep state, all right? I generally heard it
referred to Turkey or Moldova or Russia, not to the
American republic. So, I kind of reject it. Let me use the
term, "the permanent government", all right? Let me take
my old agency, CIA, and let's just take a really quick
look at recent history, all right? We've had three
transitions since 2000 and the transition to President
George W. Bush, no one changed at CIA. He kept George
Tenet on. Eight years later, President Obama became
president. Only one person changed at CIA. Me. In fact,
President Obama called my deputy Steve Kappes to convince
Steve and the rest of the staff to stay on. And then eight
years later, with President Trump, two people changed at
the CIA, Director Pompeo and his deputy. The rest of the
workforce, Anderson, are intelligence career
professionals. They work for Republicans, they work for
Democrats. They vote, they have views, but as
professionals, they know what they have to do.

Federal Jobs

http://fortune.com/2017/03/16/trumps-budget-could-cut-200000-federal-jobs/
- Civil servants might want to
start sending out their resumes to the private sector.
President Donald Trump’s budget proposal could lead to
between 100,000 and 200,000 cuts to federal civilian jobs.
ZetaTalk Insight
4/15/2017: Deep
State is another term for the bureaucrat agenda. At the start
of the ZetaTalk agenda we warned about the bureaucrat
agenda turning into a virtual war as the threat of their
removal from their comfortable government jobs increased
during the approaching passage. Trump is doing just that, by
cutting government employees from the budget. Before Trump
took office, Obama appointees packed every available job
opening with their friends. These jobs are normally recession
proof, as the paychecks come from being attached to the
taxpayer teat, paid out of tax revenues or dollars printed to
cover a deficit. This is one source of resentment against
Trump, and efforts to block his moves.
What lies within the
bureaucrat’s heart is more than just the desire for job
security, as there are invariably sleeper cells firmly
implanted by the exiting administration. This was true for
Obama when he took over from Bush, and is likewise certainly
true for Trump when he took over from Obama. Many agencies
such as the State Department are aggressively being cleansed.
There are civil service laws that prevent a civil servant from
being dismissed for trivial reasons, so reasons are invented.
The particular function is no longer needed. If it is a budget
cutback, senior employees are retrained over the newly hired.
It is difficult to clean house, thus.
Even where sleeper cells are
suspected, it is often hard to kill those jobs because a skill
set must be retained. The CIA is an example, where deep
knowledge of foreign states and their players are not so much
written down as retained by field agents. To record this
knowledge is to make it available to be hacked, and thus the
field agents are put at risk. FBI agents likewise are often
involved in long-running sting operations where particular
agents are under cover, which would be impacted by terminating
the agents.
It is the mid-level managers who may have an agenda, a loyalty
to another political cause, who are thus targeted when trying
to strip out Deep State players. The lost memo, the failure to
explain a directive, the slacker assigned to a job – all of
these maneuvers are known in the corporate world too where
civil service laws do not apply. Political agendas are also
hard to discern by actions alone, cleverly disguised by a
false smile and glowing words. Trump is being assisted by the
Transformation Team in these matters, by ourselves among
others, as there is no hiding from the telepathic Zetas.
Kim Fizzles
Per the Zetas, the Council of Worlds stepped in to stop Kim
from succeeding during his big demonstration on an ICBM launch.
It blew up instantly. The Trump administration might take credit
for this, the implication that cyber interference with the
launch might have been involved, but given that aliens are not
yet officially admitted, this is close enough to the truth. It
was the Transformation Team at work.

April 15, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/world/asia/north-korea-missiles
- To military analysts scrutinizing
North Korea’s broadcast of the parade, the most noteworthy
element seemed to be three types of long-range ballistic
missiles, one of them apparently new. While the North has
repeatedly claimed that it can strike the United States
with a nuclear warhead, it has never flight-tested an
intercontinental ballistic missile capable of crossing the
Pacific. In addition, some analysts doubt that the country
has mastered the skills to build a warhead that can
survive re-entry from space, or one small enough to mount
on a long-range missile. They said the intercontinental
ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, that had been displayed in
recent North Korean military parades might have been
mock-ups of systems still under development.
ZetaTalk Insight
4/22/2017: Despite
Kim’s bragging, N Korea does not yet have the capability to
strike the US mainland or Hawaii via an InterContinental
Ballistic Missile (ICBM) tipped with a nuclear warhead.
Nevertheless, given the tense situation, where neighbors in
Japan, China, Russia, and S Korea would be affected by a fight
breaking out between N Korea and the US, having Kim fail,
dramatically, is the best outcome. The Council of Worlds does
step in to make a point, as they did with the FaceBook launch,
but in the case of Korea, the emphasis was on demonstrating to
the world Kim’s incompetence. Temper tantrums will result,
with the potential that those around this overgrown child will
finally assassinate him.
The Council of Worlds has stepped in before with a message,
notably with a Space X/FaceBook launch of a satellite intended
to enslave survival camps in Africa in the future. This was
detailed last September, 2016 in Issue
520 of this Newsletter.
ZetaTalk Explanation
9/3/2016: This
latest disaster on a Space X launch was a financial and
progress blow to several entities – Elon Musk of Space X, Mark
Zuckerberg of FaceBook, Israel Aerospace Industries, and
NASA. Where satellites will be torn from the skies
during the passage, prior to the Pole Shift itself they will
function to some degree. Thus, those who have migrated to
Africa, and set up settlements and formulated defense of their
perimeter, will be accessing the internet via one of
Zuckerberg’s satellites. As the satellites fail, these will be
replaced with the Zuckerberg drones already in operation. All
communications in the vast region of Africa will be known to
Zuckerberg and his elite allies, who obviously include Israel.
This information would be used for enslavement and control,
and it is this effort that the Council of Worlds will not
allow.
Space X has repeatedly been involved in spankings by the Council
of Worlds, as detailed in Issue 454
of this Newsletter in June, 2015, though Elon Musk is still
trying to assert that he is in charge of the Universe. For
instance, his bragging claims that he is going to “colonize
Mars”. But in 2014 he had repeated launch failures, which
the Zetas asserted were a firm message to him to stop blocking
the announcement admitting the presence of Nibiru. It was only
when Musk got the message, and cooperated re the announcement,
that the Council of Worlds stopped smacking him.
ZetaTalk Checklist
8/30/2014: The
elite are intent on an escape to Mars but have repeatedly been
told via ZetaTalk, as they were most recently in 2013 re a
SpaceX endeavor, that this goes against an existing Council of
Worlds edict. That their 2014 launch of a Falcon 9 Reusable
rocket failed to launch should thus be no surprise. The elite
must remain with the common man they so despise during the
coming Pole Shift.
ZetaTalk Announcement
11/1/2014: The
Council of Worlds considers this to be war against the selfish
elements among the elite who are using their knowledge about
the pending passage to retain their privileged positions while
preventing the common man from coming to terms with what is in
their near future. These elite should expect more than
exploding launches, in their future.
Wobble Proofs
Proof of the daily Earth wobble has been provided lately with
the direction of ice motion in the Arctic, where the normal
clockwise direction suddenly switched in 2017 into a
counterclockwise direction. What would cause this? The Zetas
explain.
- PIOMAS Arctic Sea Ice Volume
Reanalysis
March, 2017
http://psc.apl.washington.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/
- A strong negative thickness
anomaly is present along the Siberian coast of the Chukchi
Sea. Some of the sea ice thickness anomalies seem to be
associated with ice motion anomalies showing a counter
clockwise pattern centered on the North Pole.
ZetaTalk Insight
4/22/2017: The
ice flow in the Arctic traditionally flows in a clockwise
manner as the Earth turns East, turning under the ice. The ice
stands still, relative to the Earth rotation, so the ice takes
on the appearance of a clockwise flow. The ice stands still,
the Earth moves under it, thus. What has happened to change
the direction of the ice flow in 2017? Clearly this is a
result of the increasing violence and swath of the daily Earth
wobble. During the Polar Push, when the Sun and Nibiru are
along a line between New Zealand and the Bering Strait, the
geographic N Pole of Earth is pushed up so it is centered over
land rather than the waters of the Arctic.
At this time, the globe has
been pushed under all the Arctic ice, so it has heaped up just
above the Bering Strait. This creates a pressure difference
between the Arctic water above the Bering Strait and the water
closer to Greenland, and since water wants to equalize
pressure, the flow to do that assumes a counterclockwise flow.
Such flow directions tend to be self-perpetuating, as water
swirls around trying to equalize the pressure, but soon
another daily Polar Push occurs and the cycle starts all over
again.
Nearby, in Canada, melt from the massive Kaskawulsh Glacier in
the Yukon caused the Slims River to dry up as the melting waters
poured instead into the Kaskawulsh River. This seemed to
astonish scientists. The term for this is “river piracy”, and it
has never been observed before by modern man, apparently. But
these are the End Times, with the Earth changes rapidly picking
up the pace. In the scheme of things, this is very minor. Could
this river piracy be related to the warm
water “blobs” noted in the North Pacific and North
Atlantic?
- A Canadian River Stole all of Another
River's Water
March 18, 2017
http://mashable.com/2017/04/17/river-piracy-canada-glacier-river/
- The river piracy began last year
at the edge of the massive Kaskawulsh Glacier, which spans
some 15,000 square miles across Canada's Yukon territory.
For hundreds of years, the glacier poured meltwater into
river basins of the Slims, which ends in the Bering Sea,
and the Kaskawulsh, which empties into the Gulf of Alaska.
Researchers found that a new, 100-foot canyon in the
glacier's toe had abruptly rerouted meltwater away from a
glacial lake that feeds the Slims River and instead
delivered that water to the Kaskawulsh River, which feeds
the Alsek River.
ZetaTalk Insight
4/22/2017: As
anyone tracking meandering rivers knows, they shift course
frequently. Silt builds up along this or that side, forcing
the water to find a new path into lowlands nearby. Rivers also
eat away at their banks, giving them access to nearby
lowlands. Thus a meandering river begins to look like a
writhing snake. That so much ado is being made over the course
of a river changing direction due to increased water flow
carving out a new path is positively silly. The fuss is being
made by scientists who are reluctantly taking note of what the
passage of Nibiru will do, the predictions made by ourselves,
the Zetas, and what the history written in the geological
record shows.
The wobble has increased in force and distance, and thus the
cold waters in the north Pacific and Atlantic and in the south
near Antarctica are warmer relative to their prior
temperatures. The wobble sloshing has mixed in the warm waters
normally found near the Equator. The cover-up over Nibiru will
try to claim this as Global Warming, but why would such
temperature changes only occur near the poles? Factor in
melting ice at the poles and one would expect the waters there
to be colder, not warmer.
