9.11 - Still an inside job, and a coverup

2010-09-10T21:17:00.000-07:00

But yeah, we're just a bunch of wack - job, lunatic fringe of society conspiracy theorists, right? Fuck you. Look at the evidence before you jump to your ignorant conclusion which you 'comfort' yourself with, for lack of a better word. There is obviously more to the picture here folks, even IF thermite didn't bring down the World Trade Center complex. Just look at the fact that not one of those planes wasn't shot down. It's bullshit. We have the largest military industrial complex in the world, and they WANT you to believe in the boogie man. Get it? This was all an act to get everything they wanted, and the American people were dumb enough to give it to them.

Now look at what you've got, you ignorant morons. Our great American jobless, fruitless economy. Hope you're happy! We tried to wake your asses up, but you all had to fall for yet another clever deceit (Obama) and his eloquent plans to cozy up with all those wall street bankers who put him into power. Wow, the bailout really worked to the tune of 7 TRILLION dollars didn't it? The average American Joe is no better off today than before the government decided to go around lending money to the very bankers who put us in this financial predicament

Get a clue. Get off the fence. Wake up America.
The people, united - will never be defeated.

Seven People given the “Keys” To The Internet?

2010-07-28T09:33:00.000-07:00

These smart cards are the actual keys to the Internet. There are seven of them and they hold the power to restarting the world wide web “in the event of a catastrophic event.”

The basic idea is that in the event of an Internet catastrophe, the DNSSEC (domain name system security) could be damaged or compromised and we’d be left without a way to verify if a URL is pointing to the correct website. That’s when the holders of these smart cards would be called into action:

A minimum of five of the seven keyholders – one each from Britain, the U.S., Burkina Faso, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, China, and the Czech Republic – would have to converge at a U.S. base with their keys to restart the system and connect everything once again.

A minimum of five people is needed because each of the smart cards contains only a fraction of the recovery key necessary to set things right again. This means that no single person will hold all the power to resetting our little cyber world. [BBC via PopSci]

Jim Rogers Calls CNBC a PR Agency Whose Sole Purpose Is To Make Stocks Go Higher

2010-07-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

A “cheeky” Jim Rogers appeared earlier on CNBC Europe (which incidentally is orders of magnitude better than its US equivalent), and confirmed the depths to which the once relevant and informative TV station has now fallen. In a discussion over the European Stress BS, the topic turned to the role of PR agencies when it comes to shaping popular perceptions, at which point this slipped: “The whole purpose of PR is to make stocks go higher. That’s what CNBC and many many PR agencies are all about. Yes, they make things look better for a while. Are they really better? No.” Propaganda, in other words.

Wikileaks posts Afgan War Papers ...

Afgan War Papers [CNN article]

WikiLeaks - Afgan War Diary Link

(CNN) -- Journalists and other observers around the world spent Monday poring over a vast cache of documents a whistleblower website says are U.S. reports that exhaustively chronicle the twists, turns and horror of the 9-year-old war in Afghanistan.

The whistleblower website WikiLeaks.org published more than 75,000 of the reports on Sunday. The documents date from between 2004 and January 2010, and are divided into more than 100 categories.

Tens of thousands of pages of reports document attacks on U.S. troops and their responses, relations between Americans in the field and their Afghan allies, intramural squabbles among Afghan civilians and security forces, and concerns about neighboring Pakistan's ties to the Taliban.

The "direct fire" category accounts for the largest number -- at 16,293 reports -- while "graffiti," "mugging," "narcotics" and "threat" each account for one. And WikiLeaks has another 15,000 documents that it plans to publish after editing out names to protect people, according to the website's founder and editor in chief, Julian Assange.

He told CNN's "Larry King Live" that the first-hand accounts represent "the cut and thrust of the entire war over the past six years," from the military's own raw data -- numbers of casualties, threat reports and notes from meetings between Afghan leaders and U.S. commanders.

Washington Post - ' Top Secret America '

2010-07-25T14:12:00.001-07:00

Sugarcoating it, and selling it -- or exposing it? You be the judge.

Washington Post - Top Secret America (Project)

' Along the main street, the signs in the median aren't advertising homes for sale; they're inviting employees with top-secret security clearances to a job fair at Cafe Joe, which is anything but a typical lunch spot.

The new gunmetal-colored office building is really a kind of hotel where businesses can rent eavesdrop-proof rooms.

Even the manhole cover between two low-slung buildings is not just a manhole cover. Surrounded by concrete cylinders, it is an access point to a government cable. "TS/SCI," whispers an official, the abbreviations for "top secret" and "sensitive compartmented information" - and that means few people are allowed to know what information the cable transmits.

All of these places exist just outside Washington in what amounts to the capital of an alternative geography of the United States, one defined by the concentration of top-secret government organizations and the companies that do work for them. This Fort Meade cluster is the largest of a dozen such clusters across the United States that are the nerve centers of Top Secret America and its 854,000 workers.'

'Beyond all those obstacles loom huge buildings with row after row of opaque, blast-resistant windows, and behind those are an estimated 30,000 people, many of them reading, listening to and analyzing an endless flood of intercepted conversations 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

From the road, it's impossible to tell how large the NSA has become, even though its buildings occupy 6.3 million square feet - about the size of the Pentagon - and are surrounded by 112 acres of parking spaces. As massive as that might seem, documents indicate that the NSA is only going to get bigger: 10,000 more workers over the next 15 years; $2 billion to pay for just the first phase of expansion; an overall increase in size that will bring its building space throughout the Fort Meade cluster to nearly 14 million square feet.

The NSA headquarters sits on the Fort Meade Army base, which hosts 80 government tenants in all, including several large intelligence organizations.

Together, they inject $10 billion from paychecks and contracts into the region's economy every year - a figure that helps explain the rest of the Fort Meade cluster, which fans out about 10 miles in every direction.'

Oh no Mr.Bill!

Looks like I was pretty much 'spot on' all along, back in the days when you'd point your finger at me and say ' He's one of those crazy conspiracy guys!'.

Well, looks like your precious Mr.Obama is still allowing us to fight a war no one wants, and continues to hand money over to the banksters and the private corporations en mass. It's true. Just look at who financed his campaign. Wall Street.

Nice Change. braVO. You're a bunch of fucking stupid pathetic sheep, lead to slaughter. The guys at the top and NWO have so much dirt on this guy it's not even funny. He's probably not even a natural born US citizen ; since he attended a public school in Indonesia, and you have to be born there to do so. His real name isn't even Obama. You guys buy everything. Hook, Line, Sinker.

But I knew it from the beginning. You stupid ones think I am crazy, but I am a mere judge of character and his was ripe for corruption. Put your thinking cap on. See how polished, well groomed and presentable they made him? See the god damn TelePrompTers? The president doesn't do anything other than take the fall for his corporate controllers. DUH.

Now that the bankers and the Private FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of the UNITED STATES have complete and total control ; because our debt outnumbers our national product... we're FUCKED folks!! I know some of you don't want to believe it, but look around you. People are loosing their fucking homes. I just watched both of my friends Jon , and Lee loose their homes. This shit is for real , and if you're too pig headed and stupid to see it then watch as you burn with the rest of us... soon. very soon.

Our economy is headed straight for the toilet. So all of you 'social parasites' are going to feel it soon too.

Dr. Richard Sauder - Arrested 2010

2010-07-21T13:35:00.000-07:00

Soon after writing the Minot Manifesto (below), and protesting outside of Minot AFB - underground base researcher Dr. Richard Sauder has been arrested.

April 18, 2010.

Dr. Richard Sauder, author of several books on secret underground bases, was arrested for peacefully protesting at a Minuteman III nuclear missile launch site near Parshall, Minot Air Force Base.

Attorney, author and law professor Francis A. Boyle said: “People like Richard and the Ploughshares and others are some of the most principled people I’ve ever been fortunate enough to meet and I believe they have a right to peaceful, non-violent, prayerful demonstration against weapons of massive destruction and genocide. The future of humanity is at stake here and Richard and those like Richard out there are trying to do something.”

Dr. Sauder, an affiliate of the “White Rose Movement”, explains his protest in detail in his “Minot Manifesto”, North Dakota, April 2010.

In his most recent book (information attached), “The Richard Sauder Briefing”, ISBN 978-3-937725-14-7, now available in Europe and to be out in US soon, he describes the global situation and the immediate challenges for humanity: “The central reality of these early 21st Century times is the total certainty of imminent, massive, deep-rooted change in every sphere of reality that is meaningful to the human race.”

Earlier this year, Dr. Sauder also published Hidden in Plain Site: Beyond the X-Files, which details his latest research into the existence of clandestine underground and undersea bases.

His latest appearance was on The Veritas Show and his concluding remarks simply said PEACEFUL REVOLUTION. What "THEY" want is non-peaceful, so they can act.

Minot Manifesto
Statement by Richard Sauder, Ph.D.
North Dakota, April 2010

"Hier stehe ich. Ich kann nicht anders."
("Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise.")

These truths are self-evident:

Both major political parties in the USA are massively criminally corrupt; they are essentially political mafias, tools of the Fortune 500, Wall Street, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other nefarious interests.

The present government of the USA is so mobbed up, that 50% of the American people still cannot believe and do not understand, that the murderous attacks of 9-11 were an inside job by an incredibly Machiavellian, parasitic element that has insinuated itself deep into the guts of the American system, and that lurks there malevolently, devouring its host from the inside out.

But even that 50% remnant of “true believers” in the official propaganda will have their reflexive faith sorely tested as the events of the next year unfold. (see below for links on 9/11).

I am a strong proponent of good, honest, ethical government. I feel deeply that the government should adhere to its own rule book – the Constitution. However, the present USA government is so deeply riven with corruption that I cannot help but speak out.

That is one of the reasons that I have come here.

And that is why I have left a copy of the United States Constitution at this nuclear missile silo. All officers of the USA government swear to uphold and defend the Constitution. My important public service here today consists in calling attention to that simple fact.

Were I not a firm advocate of the principles of freedom as set forth in the U.S. Constitution of 1791, most especially as enumerated in the Bill of Rights, I would not trouble myself to travel all the way here to emphasize their importance in such a dramatic fashion.

But the hour is late, and the Bill of Rights is under assault. Freedoms and civil liberties that we have long taken for granted – the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom from unlawful search and seizure, freedom from arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention without trial, the right to habeas corpus – all of this and much more is threatened by a bogus body of so-called “law” that includes the Military Commissions Act, the Patriot Acts and an ever growing body of other similar, anti-freedom, unconstitutional, so-called “laws”.

The present United States Federal government is essentially a criminal syndicate or global mafia – it acts as a hyper-violent, militarily invasive, propaganda spewing, multi- trillion dollar money laundering machine, that seeks to unilaterally impose its will on the American people, and as much of the rest of the world as possible, by brute force and political deception. By any measure, the present USA government is a rogue regime, and now that it is a deeply corrupt empire in rapid decline, it is, perhaps, more dangerous than ever.

The American dollar is dying right now, as the world begins to turn its back on this increasingly worthless scrap of paper. In fact, the dollar is only worth about 5% today, in constant dollars, of the value it held when the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank was established in 1913. That is how destructive the Federal Reserve Act has been to the currency of the USA.

The dollar is done, you can stick a fork in it.

The American Constitution is very clear: in Article I it specifically states that nothing but gold and silver coin shall be accepted as tender for the payment of debts, and that the United States Congress shall have the power to coin money. These clauses have never been rescinded or abolished. They are still in full, legal force.

For that reason, as a reminder. I have left a copy of the United States Constitution at the nuclear missile silo, along with a one ounce, pure silver coin that depicts Lady Liberty, lightly covered in gold leaf, with a bouquet of flowers in her left arm, her right arm extended, and a golden rising sun at her feet.

It is a disgraceful testimony to the complete incompetence and thorough corruption of the United States Congress that in 1913 it illegally abdicated its own constitutional powers and voted the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank into existence.

Since that time, the USA government has permitted the U.S. Federal Reserve bank to flood the world with whole trainloads of paper currency, nominally worth trillions of dollars, but in reality this so-called American “dollar” is nothing more nor less than what it has always been all along, just a little scrap of paper.

That's the “wealth” of the American Empire. Trillions of little scraps of paper. That's all. There's precious little behind the so-called American “dollar” but printing presses frantically churning out tons more little scraps of paper.

We are facing Orwellian, totalitarian slavery. That's what they want to impose on us. That's the reason behind all the national identity cards, DNA data bases, surveillance cameras, GPS tracking devices in cars and trucks, digital micro-chipping of everything from A to Z, Internet surveillance and censorship, telephone taps, body and luggage searches and scans at airports, finger printing of air travelers and bank customers, interrogations at airline boarding gates, money laundering regulations, and more.

So do you want to be a slave or free? That's the question. Because if you want to be free, you're absolutely going to have to do something about it. Millions of people are going to have to go way outside of their comfort zone, that's the hard truth of the matter, because the status quo is simply not remotely acceptable for people who want to live as free human beings on this planet.

Don't imagine that you can just vote in the next criminally rigged election and a new set of corrupt politicians will somehow magically make things better. THEY WON'T. We are at a new stage now. The time for armchair blogging is over.

The time for action has arrived – and as I will explain below, my personal recommendation is for direct, creative nonviolence.

2010-06-09T20:02:00.000-07:00

The U.S. debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015, according to a Treasury Department report to Congress.

What does this mean for our country's future? things are looking pretty bleak - like we're on borrowed time ; and the mass media continues to sway from the issue, in what seems like a never ending parade of presenting us with side issues and cheap diversions. It's about time the American people faced this issue, without diluting themselves into thinking this Casino gulag economy can continue. Let's abandon the Federal Reserve system, back our currency with gold or silver and give congress it's authority to issue currency through the Treasury back - and watch how fast we all recover from this.

We've let the banks rob us blind, and people will only get angry (it seems) when they become hungry. That's really sad, because by then - it will be too late ; as we will all be powerless to change anything.

If a strong, and good country is what you want for your children, and your children's children - then admit your federal government is broken, and its financial system based on debt produced by private banks only cements this fact. Our children have already woken up on this once great land ; as hopeless slaves to the banking system. The hope of one owning their home outright has been crushed for so many ; and the Federal Government did nothing for you. They lined the pockets of their cronies and political pun dents.

Get a clue. This government doesn't work for you anymore, it works for the corporations and the private bank-sters.

Homeland security funds used for license plate readers at California mall

2010-06-06T07:41:00.000-07:00

Homeland security funds used for license plate readers at California mall

News 10 in Calfornia has an interesting story about surveillance cameras and license plate readers co-funded by homeland security at the Arden Fair Mall.

SACRAMENTO, CA – Homeland Security funds have poured into the state of California since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, California counties have received almost $2 billion in anti-terrorism grants. Sacramento County has received $79 million.

Arden Fair Mall Security Chief Steve Reed said he's received $100,000 in federal funds. The money has gone toward two high-tech surveillance systems.

"This actually enables us to record data with our 142 cameras that mall purchased for $1.5 million," Reed said. "That money came from mall management, but it enabled me to tie the cameras into a system the federal government paid for."

Reed showed off that system set up in two offices at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. "We have a set of eyes here and another one if I'm watching in my office. And we have two more sets of eyes at the security information desk in the middle of the mall," he said.

Security officers watch escalators, stores, hallways, indoor and outdoor walkways and parking lots. "After a day of things that happen at the mall, if there's any footage that we need to retrieve, we can get it. We can give it to the appropriate law enforcement agency if they need it," Reed explained.

Security officers can zoom in and make hard copies of closeups. They can also record images onto a disk.

"We've been able to reduce crimes significantly and record slip and falls," Reed said. "If there's any kind of maintenance or safety issues we can take care of them because we see every nook and cranny at the mall which covers 77 acres."

Reed spent the rest of the federal funds on license plate readers mounted on security vehicles. "Officers drive up and down our parking lots and structures taking pictures of license plates," he said. "Everyday we're able to download a list of plates from Sacramento police stolen car reports. If the reader sees that plate, it sounds an alarm and we can call the authorities."

According to Reed, since the system was installed, it has found 21 stolen vehicles and resulted in the arrest of 22 individuals.

Sacramento Regional Transit has received $2 million from Homeland Security, according to Doug Voska, a Sacramento police officer who is under contract to RT. He runs the transit system's Video Control Center.

Like the mall, Voska has officers peering at screens attached to security cameras located at light rail stations and on board train cars.

"Prior to this, we had a piece-meal camera system with a few cameras here and there," said Voska. "Now we have a much better system and we can monitor each camera live as it sees what's happening now. And we can prevent any acts of terrorism and crimes."

Voska said officers can quickly be dispatched to the scene if problems arise.

"Part of the Homeland Security funding also provided for a public awareness campaign," Voska said. "Signs are posted telling passengers about the surveillance and how they can help us and protect the transit system."

Voska added that public response has been positive. "It not only makes them feel safer. They know they're actually safer," he said.

Mexican President Calderon Calls for Gun Control – American’s Call for Border Control

2010-05-31T21:47:00.000-07:00

Mexican President Calderon Calls for Gun Control – American’s Call for Border Control
May 23rd, 2010 |

With the disgraceful show that Obama let Mexican President Felipe Calderon put on while in Washington, Calderon threw Obama a bone with his anti-gun rhetoric calling for the United States to pass another so called assault weapons ban, the failed Clinton era gun control scheme. Calderon called on congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban because he claims it would stem the flow of weapons into Mexico, the only problem with this argument is that it has been proven several times now that the vast majority of weapons being used by the drug cartels are coming either through Central/South America or are being stolen or purchased from the Mexican military itself. Mexican President Calderon comes to America calling for gun control, while American’s call for border control.

Mexico loves to show pictures of confiscated weapons, belt fed .50 caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, AK-47’s and so on. They have the media fawning over showing pictures of American made M-16’s made by Colt. Fine, the pictures show weapons, but so what? Fully automatic weapons are not being sold in the United States, belt fed machine guns don’t come from Walmart. The AK-47’s are Chinese and Russian made, Chinese AK-47’s have not been sold or brought into the US for twenty years. The Russian rifles have been altered to make automatic fire all but impossible, and the numbers being imported into the US simply don’t support the reality on the ground in Mexico. It is a well documented fact that Mexican government at all levels have sold or had otherwise given weapons to the drug cartels. This only covers the ones not taken by force or simply lost, which is a huge total, Mexico won’t even release the numbers the list is so bad.

Speaking of lists, last year when Eric Holder came out and said he would like to reinstate the Clinton era assault weapons ban, in his making the case for doing that he used numbers that were false, what a surprise. The original story was how that 80 percent plus of the weapons being recovered by Mexican authorities were coming from the United States and that the weapons were being tracked here. Not really the truth. The facts and figures got distorted a little, the percentage they were talking about is what the Mexican government was asking ATF to track by serial numbers. The 80 percent was the figure that showed that of the weapons submitted for tracking, 80 percent came from America. The key is of those submitted for tracking. When taken in the whole, the percentage of weapons coming from America being recovered by Mexican authorities is about 17 percent as best anyone can tell. A far cry from 80.

Using distortions is nothing new for the left, using distortions or flat out lies is a staple for the gun control crowd and has been for two decades. The fact that Mexico is spinning out of control in a drug war, has nothing to do with the Second Amendment in the United States. It is obvious that Mexican President Felipe Calderon can not get control of his own country and attempting to blame someone else for his nations problems is all this is. Calderon wants all the illegals to keep coming to the US, Calderon wants open borders, Calderon wants American’s disarmed. In the end what we have here is Obama letting Calderon come to Washington and trash America at every opportunity. Many along the border don’ t think they are armed well enough to deal with the illegals pouring into the United States. Maybe if Mexico had their version of the Second Amendment the citizens would not be terrified to go to work or take their children to school or go to church for fear the drug cartels will kill them. The Mexican population understands that they can’t depend on the government for help, they live it every day.

The leftist globalist dream of a world socialist utopia runs directly into one big problem, a well armed and determined American population. After all, isn’t that what the founding fathers created the Second Amendment for in the first place?

Polish : Exposing the CIA and the plane crash in Poland

2010-05-22T14:48:00.000-07:00

This is very mysterious, a plane crash just happens to kill prominent Polish government officials (including the President) ; soon after the CIA was exposed in the Polish media and to the public as having secret torture camps / black sites in the country. In Feb of 2010, the Polish government admitted to CIA planes landing in it's territory. The door of the cockpit was open when the plane crashed, which is also of concern to investigators as seen in the video above.

"Official flight logs released Monday confirm Poland hosted aircraft linked to a CIA program for secretly moving and holding terrorism suspects. It adds to the allegations that the country could have hosted a CIA prison.

The data from a government-run agency was made public after prompting by two human rights organizations. Previously, Polish authorities had vigorously denied the country’s involvement in the CIA’s project. The new findings could prove that Poland hosted one of the black sites, a network of CIA secret prisons overseas where terrorism suspects were kept and brutally interrogated."

Oh, and on a side note --- they found the black boxes. haha, go figure.

May 17th, 2010 - The Pirate Bay is Down --- but not for long!

2010-05-17T07:41:00.000-07:00

At the time of this post, our beloved file sharing / torrent site - The Pirate Bay is offline. In May of 2006, the website's servers in Stockholm were raided by Swedish police, causing it to go offline for three days. According to the Los Angeles Times, The Pirate Bay is "one of the world's largest facilitators of illegal downloading", and "the most visible member of a burgeoning international anti-copyright or pro-piracy-movement" American private interest groups such as the RIAA are to blame for the 2006 raid on Pirate Bay HQ. The three original administrators and investor Carl Lundström were sued for copyright infringement and found guilty in a kangaroo court of overpriced lawyers representing the powerful corporate industry.

On 17 April 2009, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm and Carl Lundström were found guilty of assistance to copyright infringement and sentenced to one year in prison and payment of a fine of 30 million SEK (app. 4,200,000 USD; 2,800,000 GBP; or 3,100,000 EUR), after a trial of nine days. The defendants have appealed against the verdict and the judge was accused of bias.

With their penalty up to a year in jail and a $4.2 million dollar fine - the copyright infringement case is still in the appeals process. Pirate Bay makes it's revenue from advertising, to the tune of around $80,000 per month. Even still, the site only generates around $1 million per year - so the fine would take 4 years to pay off with the site running. All profit motivations aside, Americans and people around the globe want to know when their favorite file sharing site will be open again.

A few days ago it was revealed that several major Hollywood movie studios had obtained a preliminary injunction against CyberBunker operator CB3ROB Ltd. & Co. KG from the Regional Court of Hamburg. The injunction, which was granted without an oral hearing, stated that CB3ROB and Managing Director Sven Olaf Kamphuis were now prohibited from connecting The Pirate Bay website and its servers to the Internet.

Sven Kamphuis officially confirmed receiving the injunction and has decided to stop routing The Pirate Bay’s traffic until his lawyers have carefully read and reviewed the legal documents. This decision has resulted in downtime for the internet's largest file sharing site.

Pirate Bay is apparently complying with the May 13th injunction order on the site, but even though the injunction has been fulfilled, there is an apparent effort underway to revive the site.

A Pirate Bay insider says that they are not planning to wait for a decision from Cyberbunker, and that they’ve already set the backup process in motion which will bring the site back online. The Pirate Bay’s servers are untouched and getting the site up and running only requires the routing (IP-tunnel) to go through another provider.

It may take several hours before this process has been completed and before all ISPs see the new AS-path.

Ever since The Pirate Bay’s servers were raided back in 2006, the operators of the site have taken extreme measures to ensure that there are proper backup mechanisms in place and that the locations of the servers are well concealed.

An ex-CIA agent has gone further than ever before in detailing Google's relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency, claiming sources told him that CIA seed money helped get the company off the ground and naming for the first time Google's CIA point man.

Robert David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer and a former clandestine services case officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, is the CEO of OSS.net.

Speaking to the Alex Jones Show, Steele elaborated on his previous revelations by making it known that the CIA helped bankroll Google at its very inception.

"I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up and unfortunately our system right now floods money into spying and other illegal and largely unethical activities, and it doesn't fund what I call the open source world," said Steele, citing "trusted individuals" as his sources for the claim.

"They've been together for quite a while," added Steele.

Asked to impart to what level Google is "in bed" with the CIA, Steele described the bond as a "small but significant relationship," adding, "it is by no means dominating Google in fact Google has been embarrassed because everything the CIA asked it to do they couldn't do."

"I also think it's very very wrong of Google to have this relationship," cautioned Steele.

The former agent went further than before in identifying by name Google's liaison at the CIA.

"Let me say very explicitly - their contact at the CIA is named Dr. Rick Steinheiser, he's in the Office of Research and Development," said Steele.

Steele highlighted Google's blatant censorship policies whereby press releases put out by credible organizations that are critical of Dick Cheney and other administration members don't make it to Google News even though they are carried by PR Newswire.

We have repeatedly highlighted past examples of censorship on behalf of Google, including their blacklisting of a mainstream news website that was mildly critical of China, and also the deliberate stifling and manipulation of Alex Jones' Terror Storm film ranking on Google Video. Google was also caught red-handed attempting to bury the Charlie Sheen 9/11 story at the height of its notoriety.

Saying Google had become "too big for itself," Steele opined that Google was "long overdue for a public audit."

"One of the problems with privatized power is that it's not subject to public audit," said Steele, arguing that groups should rally to "put Google out of business unless they're willing to go the open source software route."

We regularly highlight Google's damaging role in aiding the march towards a big brother society, but the admission that Google were planning on teaming up with the U.S. government to use microphones in the computers of an estimated 150 million-plus Internet active Americans to spy on their lifestyle choices and build psychological profiles which will be used for surveillance and minority report style invasive advertising and data mining, astounded even us.

Steele said that our previous story about Google's ties to the CIA, which was picked up by dozens of top technology websites, concerned Google enough to lie to the public about it and deny its validity.

It remains to be seen how Google will react to these latest revelations.

Murder or Suicide?

CEO of top Swiss bank dies suddenly, sparking rumours of suicide
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Bank chief Alex Widmer died unexpectedly

The CEO of Julius Baer, Switzerland's biggest private bank, has died unexpectedly.
Alex Widmer, a widower, died aged 52, leaving behind three children.

It has been reported that close friends of Mr Widmer's family said he committed suicide, though Swiss police will not confirm this.

Julius Baer dates back to the 19th century and manages more than 360billion Swiss franch in assets for wealthy individuals and institutions.

Shares in Julius Baer have lost some 60 per cent this year as markets have worried about outflows at its hedge fund GAM.
However a spokesman for the bank said there was no link between Mr Widmer's death and the group's current activities, but declined to give further details on the cause of death on Wednesday night.

A source said employees at the bank had been told Widmer had died from an unspecified illness.
In an interview with Bloomberg conducted the day before his death, Mr Widmer said: 'Even if global wealth creation is getting slower, we should do better than the rest.'

A Zurich-based trader who did not want to be named said: 'It is a great shame. It is very sad. He [Mr Widmer] embodied Julius Baer. He was the most important person in private banking.'

Following the news, shares in Julius Baer fell 6.5 per cent to 34.60 Swiss francs, underperforming a 1.5 per cent drop in the DJ Stoxx index of European banking stocks.

Mr Widmer will be succeeded by Hans de Gier, who served as the CEO of Julius Baer Group until September 2008 when he stepped down to focus on his role as chairman of hedge fund unit GAM.

'This is a setback for the bank. Widmer is widely regarded as the architect of its new direction,' Claude Zehnder, a ZKB trading analyst said.

'However, with De Gier they have someone very experienced in place who knows the bank inside out,' he said.

Commenting on Mr Widmer's death, Chairman Raymond Baer said in a statement: 'We have lost a dear friend, a good colleague and a charismatic leader. Alex very successfully opened up new dimensions for the Private Banking business of Julius Baer.
'His enormous commitment, his active relationship and close involvement with the clients and his passion for banking will forever serve as a model for us.'

Mr Widmer joined the Julius Baer Group in 2005 as a member of the executive board and head of private banking and became the CEO of Bank Julius Baer in November 2007.

The bulk of his career was spent at Credit Suisse, where he worked for 19 years, as global head of private banking from 2002 to 2005 and as a member of the executive board

Before that he was the chief executive of Credit Suisse's Asia-Pacific and Middle East business. He also worked in Tokyo and New York early in his career after gaining a doctorate in economics from the prestigious St. Gallen university in 1985.

GBI: Husband shot ex-senator, then self

The husband of a former state senator shot his wife before turning the gun on himself in the couple's Habersham County home, the GBI said Saturday night.

A handgun and several letters, including a suicide note written by Bruce Schaefer to family members, were found in the home he shared with Nancy Schaefer, his spouse and the one-time Georgia politician, according to John Bankhead, GBI spokesman.

"A GBI medical examiner determined that Mrs. Schaefer died from a single gunshot wound to the back and Mr. Schaefer died from a single gunshot wound to the chest," Bankhead said in a statement.

Autopsies on the Schaefers were conducted Saturday afternoon, and investigators said all evidence indicates the deaths were a murder-suicide.

“We’ve got some evidence of why it was done,” Sheriff Joey Terrell told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Why it happened? That question will never be answered.”

The bodies of Bruce and Nancy Schaefer, 74 and 73, respectively, were found Friday evening around 6 p.m. by their daughter at the couple’s Clarkesville home. The daughter, one of the Schaefers’ five children, lived in the same gated community as her parents and entered the home when she was unable to reach them. After finding her parents dead in their bedroom, the woman called 9-1-1.

The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of the GBI, which sent several investigators to the crime scene Friday evening.

Roger Harvey, a nephew of Nancy and Bruce Schaefer, released a statement to the AJC on behalf of the couple’s five children.

“We are grieving over this indescribable loss of our parents who we all adored,” the family statement said. “Our parents were extremely loving and caring people who took great joy in helping those in need.”

News of the Schaefers’ deaths spread quickly at the state Capitol Friday evening. Several legislators offered their condolences following the death of a woman known for her conservative, Christian values, her large family and long-time marriage.

Sen. Don Thomas of Dalton, a friend of the Schaefers, said Friday evening that he believed Bruce Schaefer had an illness, possibly cancer. The family declined to discuss specifics about the couple.

“In those moments, you are not at your complete sanity,” Sen. Don Thomas of Dalton, a friend of the Schaefers, said Friday night. “Some people figure the best way is to end it for both of you. They were married for so long. Loved each other so much. When you see somebody that you love so much, every now and then, you think the best way out of it is to go and be with the Lord.”

Several notes written by Bruce Schaefer were left behind.

But the Schaefers' daughter told Sheriff Terrell that Bruce Schaefer was not suffering from any serious illnesses at the time of the shootings, the Gainesville Times reported. Authorities were unaware of Nancy Schaefer, 73, having any major health problems, Terrell said.

Terrell told the Times that financial problems could have contributed to the shootings.

"Some financial problems were mentioned [in the notes]," Terrell said. "That might have been one reason."

A two-term senator, Nancy Schaefer lost her seat in 2008 to Habersham County Commission Chairman Jim Butterworth in a north Georgia Republican runoff. She represented the 50th district, including Banks, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun, Stephens, and Towns counties, and part of White County.

During the family’s 35 years in Atlanta, Schaefer was a candidate for Atlanta mayor, Georgia lieutenant governor and governor.

The daughter of a North Georgia Superior Court Judge and granddaughter of a state legislator, Nancy Schaefer became visible to the public in 1985, when she organized a constitutional liberties rally in Atlanta. In 1986, she founded Schaefer Family Concerns, Inc., a nonprofit foundation dedicated to issues such as display of the Ten Commandments in public buildings and opposition to abortion.

Nancy Schaefer worked on the campaign team for former New York Republican Jack Kemp, who ran for president in 1988. During Kemp’s campaign, Schaefer met Rusty Paul, former head of the state Republican Party and State Senator from North Fulton.

“[With] her passion and tenacity, she was unyielding in her beliefs about what was important,” Paul said Saturday. “She was one of the leaders in trying to get fundamental Christians actively engaged in the political process.”

Schaefer was the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor in 1994. In 1998, she sought the GOP nomination for governor. Her political involvement also extended to the United Nations, where she represented both Family Concerns and the Southern Baptist Convention at various conferences.

Schaefer will likely be best remembered for efforts to blur the lines between politics and religion.

Sadie Fields, who chairs the Georgia Christian Alliance, first met and became friends with Schaefer during the latter’s Atlanta mayoral run. Fields, who saw the Schaefers at a luncheon a few weeks ago, described her friend as dedicated and unflappable in her commitment to the causes she championed.

“Nancy was a stalwart of conservative causes in Georgia,” Fields said. “As long as I’ve known her, she stood for what she believed in and never backed down. She was the epitome of the Southern gentlewoman. She handled everything with grace and was the epitome of the quintessential steel magnolia.”

Funeral arrangements for the Schaefers have not been announced.

Did two hired assassins snatch weapons inspector David Kelly?

Weapons inspector David Kelly was the decent man apparently hounded to suicide after exposing Tony Blair's lies on Iraq.
But the crusading MP Norman Baker felt sure there was something more to his death - and gave up his front-bench role to investigate the case.

In the Mail he revealed extraordinary evidence that he believes proves Kelly did not take his own life and was instead murdered by Iraqi dissidents. Here, he reveals how the murder may have been carried out . . .

While investigating the death of Dr David Kelly I have made many strange discoveries, not least some disturbing parallels with the case of a young American journalist named Danny Casolaro.

Mr Casolaro made himself deeply unpopular with elements in the murky world of U.S. defence by probing too deeply into their activities.
One morning in August 1991, he was found dead in a hotel room near Harpers Ferry in Virginia. He was in the bath, naked, with his wrist slashed.

There were no signs of bruising or other marks on the body and the police concluded that he had committed suicide.
But this was totally false according to Dr Christopher Green, who was the CIA's chief forensic pathologist for decades.

Dr Green participated in Casolaro's autopsy and last year he told veteran White House reporter Sterling Seagrave that the young journalist had been killed before being stripped, put in a full bath, and his left wrist cut in precisely the same manner as Dr Kelly's.

And as with Dr Kelly, there was remarkably little blood, bar a small amount smeared on the edge of the tub, suggesting that the wrist wound had been inflicted after the heart had stopped pumping.

This compelling demonstration of how effectively a murder can be disguised as suicide drove me on in my search for the truth about Dr Kelly, who was found dead in an Oxfordshire wood on July 18, 2003, having apparently taken his own life.

Before Danny Casolaro died, the journalist had been investigating the activities of America's private security companies which, according to Sterling Seagrave, are linked to the 'Grey Ghosts' - an army of professional killers commissioned by the Pentagon to carry out assassinations.

The similarities between the two men's deaths led Seagrave to suggest that Dr Kelly might also have fallen victim to these shadowy figures.

After all, he was the source behind a BBC report that the British government had 'sexed up' intelligence about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction in order to justify the invasion of Iraq. This can hardly have been well received by the White House.

As I explained in Saturday's Mail, my own information strongly suggests that those behind Dr Kelly's death were Iraqi dissidents opposed to Saddam Hussein's regime and angry at Dr Kelly for undermining the case for toppling him.
A well-placed source also told me that the British police or security services had been warned of a likely assassination attempt but were not in time to stop it.

Did they then try to disguise the murder as suicide for reasons of political expediency?
To understand what may have happened, we must return to Thursday, July 17, the day
Dr Kelly disappeared. That morning he was at home with his wife Janice in the village of Southmoor and it must be said that none of his behaviour fits the profile of a man about to commit suicide.

In her evidence to the Hutton inquiry into Dr Kelly's death, his wife said he was 'tired, subdued, but not depressed'. Indeed, it seems it was Janice Kelly, not her husband, who was more seriously under par.

During phone calls that morning, Dr Kelly told a colleague that he was basically 'holding up all right', but that his wife was having a difficult time, both physically and mentally, under the pressure of long-standing ill health and the political storm that had engulfed them.

At lunchtime she went to bed with a nauseous headache and arthritis pains. He, on the other hand, appears to have carried on working normally, eaten some lunch and taken the trouble to go upstairs to check on his wife, shortly before 2pm, to see how she was feeling.

Given his obvious concern, it hardly seems likely that he would want to exacerbate matters for her by committing suicide that day.

Dr Kelly told his wife he would be going out for one of the regular walks he took to help his bad back. These were normally short affairs lasting no more than 25 minutes.

Mrs Kelly estimates that her husband left the house shortly after 3pm. With him, we are led to believe, he had the knife later found by his corpse and three packets of the painkillers his wife took for arthritis. These would later be discovered in his jacket pocket - empty but for one of the 30 tablets.

According to the Hutton inquiry, Dr Kelly set out on that walk intent on killing himself.
But, if so, why does he appear to have waited so long before doing it?

Since the pathologist inexplicably failed to take Dr Kelly's body temperature when he first arrived on the scene the following day - a standard procedure which would have helped give an accurate time of death - we have to make our own deductions about when he died.

The pathologist offered a wide window of between 4.15pm on Thursday and 1.15am on Friday. But there is every reason to think this window is far too wide.

The Hutton inquiry heard that after Dr Kelly's body was found on Friday morning, two paramedics moved his arm away from his chest at about 10am so that they could attach electrodes and confirm that he was dead.

Clearly, rigor mortis - the stiffening of the body - had not yet fully set in. Since it is generally accepted that it reaches its peak after 12 hours, we can assume that Dr Kelly most likely died at some time after 10pm on the Thursday night, and quite possibly much later.

What then happened to him in the missing hours - at least seven of them - between leaving home and supposedly killing himself?

The last person known to have seen Dr Kelly alive was his neighbour, Ruth Absalom, who met him about three-quarters-of-a-mile from his home.

They passed the time of day briefly before going their separate ways. Dr Kelly's parting words were: "See you again then, Ruth."
According to Ms Absalom, he was heading towards the nearby village of Kingston Bagpuize.

That would be consistent with a circular half-hour walk back to his house - but in quite the wrong direction to reach Harrowrecords-down Hill, the lonely area of woodland where his body was discovered.

One of the few clues to what happened next is that Dr Kelly's phone was switched off when a colleague from the Ministry of Defence tried to call him between 5pm and 6pm.

This was odd. Dr Kelly himself would tell friends that his mobile was always on and, given that he had been in regular contact with the MoD that morning, and that the furore surrounding him was developing from hour to hour, it seems unlikely that he would have turned it off or let the battery run down.

If he did indeed intend to commit suicide, turning off his phone could be seen as a preliminary step. But for reasons I have made clear, I do not believe suicide is a credible explanation for his death.

This leaves us with an alternative possibility. Did someone else turn Dr Kelly's phone off so that his movements could not be traced via signal kept by the phone company? In other words, was he forcibly abducted?

If he headed in the direction Ms Absalom described, his walk would probably have taken him along Appleton Road, a quiet and rather empty stretch with only sporadic development alongside.

From there he is likely to have turned right into Draycott Road, which is even more deserted. A no-through road with some derelict buildings part-way down, it peters out into a footpath at the end.

On either of these roads it would certainly have been relatively easy for determined abductors to have forced the 59-year-old weapons inspector into a van without anyone seeing.

According to the information I have been given, the murder itself was carried out by a couple of not very well-paid hired hands.

As to the method used, I am told that they gave Dr Kelly an injection in his backside, which perhaps points to the use of succinylcholine, a white crystalline substance that acts as a muscle relaxant.
For less beneficent purposes, it can be used to induce paralysis and cardiac arrest and frequently goes undetected in post-mortems.

I asked Thames Valley Police whether the body had been checked for the presence of this or a similar substance. They told me that they did not know.

If this was not the substance used then, alarmingly, there appear to be a large number of other ways in which Dr Kelly might have been killed that would be difficult or even impossible to trace.

For this we can no doubt partly thank the work of Project Coast - a highly unpleasant chemical and biological warfare programme run by the South African government from 1981 onwards to develop exactly such capabilities.
With aims including the creation of a biological weapon designed to attack the black population while leaving whites unscathed, its prime mover was Dr Wouter Basson, variously described as 'the South African Mengele' and 'Dr Death'.

Ironically, in the week before Dr Kelly died, it is alleged he was due to be interviewed by MI5 about his links with Dr Basson, who in 1985 had visited the Porton Down research centre, where Dr Kelly was then head of the Chemical Defence Establishment.
This visit had happened at a time when Mrs Thatcher's government claimed that the South Africans were developing biological and chemical weapons solely for defensive purposes.

Only later was it revealed that they were working on chemicals such as parathion, an organophosphate that can be introduced into the body through hair follicles, perhaps under the arm or around the crutch.

This causes vomiting - evidence of which could be seen on Dr Kelly's body - and leads to a respiratory attack. It is extremely difficult to detect traces of such a chemical in the body, unless you know what you are looking for.

When I tracked down Wouter Basson at his home in the Western Cape earlier this year, I asked him if he thought Dr Kelly had been murdered.

He paused, as if choosing his words carefully, then replied that Dr Kelly 'didn't seem the sort to commit suicide'.
He was also in no doubt that the UK, and indeed other Western countries, have a capacity for assassination.
Other possible methods of killing Dr Kelly included the use of saxotoxin, found in some shellfish and known as the CIA Shellfish Toxin, after its alleged use by that agency to kill one of their targets. Even a tiny amount is effective seconds after injection and is completely untraceable after autopsy.

One private detective even suggested to me that Dr Kelly's killers might have made gruesome misuse of the equipment employed by undertakers in embalming, placing a tube into an artery and forcibly pumping the blood out of the body.
This would cause unconsciousness and then death, and reinforce the assumption that the victim had lost a lot of blood through a cut - the conclusion reached by Lord Hutton in Dr Kelly's case.

The detective told me that this process did not need access to a main artery like the jugular, but could be achieved through, say, the ulnar artery.

This was the one slashed with a knife in Dr Kelly's wrist. Was that incision an attempt to cover up the artery's previous use?
Another ghastly suggestion came to me from someone who signed themselves only as 'Nemesis'. Their letter alleged that he or she had been told by a 'member of the non-English diplomatic corps' that air had been introduced into Dr Kelly's bloodstream through a needle in a vein.

Apparently, if present in sufficient quantities, air in the major organs will kill and leave no scar. 'Nemesis' was in no doubt that this was how Dr Kelly's life had ended. "His heart and lungs were full of air," the letter said.

We know that the pathologist did retain one of Dr Kelly's lungs and some blood to test for substances such as chloroform but Assistant Chief Constable Michael Page, who gave evidence at the Hutton inquiry, revealed that the tests to the lung had not actually been carried out.

This was, he said, because no suspicious substances had shown up in the blood tests.
Whatever method might have been used to murder Dr Kelly, we have to wonder why those responsible did not kill him immediately. There would have been no insurmountable obstacles to doing so, after all.

Perhaps his kidnappers wanted an opportunity to take him into the woods at Harrowdown Hill under cover of darkness to minimise the chances of being spotted or disturbed.

It certainly would not have been difficult to have given him a shot to render him temporarily unconscious until his assailants forced him to walk to the spot where he would be killed and found the next day.

If they drove him there, the closest they could have got by road was about half a mile from where his body was found.
That walk is rather a public one, but there is another route and one seemingly not investigated by the police.

This path runs from a remote reach of the River Thames, about 500 yards away, up through a field and into the woods. With no houses or other dwellings nearby, anybody walking here is unlikely to be seen, particularly in the dead of night.
Intriguingly, this area was searched the following morning by Louise Holmes and Paul Chapman, the two volunteers who eventually found Dr Kelly's body.

They told the Hutton inquiry that some time after beginning their search at 8am they came across a group of three or four people in a boat and had a brief conversation with them.

Who they were, and what they were doing on the river at that time of the morning, has never been established. They could, of course, have been holidaymakers. But was the truth more sinister?

Obamacare: Taxing The American People Into Oblivion

“The Obama administration has turned the insurance industry into the Blackwater of socialized medicine.”

H.R. 3590, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, to give it its full title, is rammed full of tax increases which will further economically cripple Americans already laboring under the worst financial crisis since the great depression.
The partnering Reconciliation Act, currently in the Senate, also contains a raft of pork barrel and tax hikes, there to fund the trillion dollar cost of nationalizing medicine.

As reported by Bloomberg News today, analysis by the nonpartisan congressional Joint Committee on Taxation reveals that the bill will generate $409.2 billion in additional taxes by 2019.

In addition, the Congressional Budget Office states that the bill also levies almost $69 billion more in penalties for those who fail to meet mandates to buy insurance.

The Journal of Accountancy boils down some of the tax hikes and penalty fees in H.R. 3590 and the Reconciliation Act – the highlights include:

Excise Tax on Uninsured Individuals – Individuals who fail to maintain minimum essential coverage will be subject to a penalty equal to $750. The fee for an uninsured individual under age 18 is one-half of the adult fee.
Excise Tax on High-Cost Employer Plans – The federal government would impose a 40% tax on the value of employer-sponsored health coverage exceeding certain thresholds. Those levels are projected to be $8,500 for self only and $23,000 for any other level by the year 2013. This excise was announced with fanfare by the White House and labor unions in January and remains in the final bill.

Increase in additional tax on distributions from Health Savings Accounts and Archer Medical Savings Accounts not used for qualified medical expenses – An increase from 10% to 20% on taxes of money in a health savings account not used for qualified medical expenses. For Archer medical savings accounts, an increase from 15% to 20%.
Additional Hospital Insurance Tax on High-Income Taxpayers – High income tax payers, making on a joint return over $250,000 and a standard return over $200,000, are required to pay an additional 0.5% of wages. This applies to both self-employed, and regularly employed individuals.

Fees on Health Plans – A fee applied to all health insurance providers based upon net premiums and any third party fees associated with the administration of those programs. The fees will total $6.7 billion annually. This figure begins at $8 billion in the Reconciliation Act and rises to $14.3 billion by 2018.

Tax on Indoor Tanning Services – The act imposes a 10% tax on amounts paid for indoor tanning services. Like a sales tax, the tax will be collected from the person tanning when payment for the tanning services is made.
Business Insider boils down 15 more tax hikes here – highlights include:

Tax on individuals without acceptable health care coverage – A 2.5% income tax on individuals who do not have health care coverage, limited to a cost less than the average national health care premium.

Excise tax on elective cosmetic medical procedures – A tax of 5% is levied upon the am mount paid for any cosmetic surgery. This does not include the need for such surgeries created by trauma or a disfiguring disease. If the tax is not collected by that professional completing the procedure, their business is still liable for the requirement.

The Reconciliation Act also legislates for the following surcharges: 1% surcharge on individuals making more than $350,000, 1.5% surcharge on individuals making more than $500,000, 5.4% surcharge on individuals making more than $1 million.
Yet more tax provisions in the bill are highlighted by INvestors Business Daily in their piece titled 20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms – highlights include:

Taxes On Employers – If you are a large employer (defined as at least 101 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes) (Section 1513).

Taxes on Pharmaceutical Companies – The government will extract a fee of $2.3 billion annually from the pharmaceutical industry (Section 9008 (b)).

Taxes on medical device manufacturers – The government will extract a fee of $2 billion annually from medical device makers (Section 1405).

As a candidate and President, Barack Obama has had one core message for middle class Americans: I won’t raise your taxes.
By putting his name to the health care reform bill today he has swiftly put to bed any pretence that he would uphold that pledge (multi-trillion dollar bailouts aside).

While the new taxes on individuals are bad enough, the penalties imposed on pharmaceutical corporations, health insurers and employers are will inevitably serve as a double whammy as the hikes will undoubtedly be passed on to the general public in the form of higher costs.

“Simply, you have nationalized healthcare by proxy.” writes Jonah Goldberg of the LA Times.

“Insurance companies are now heavily regulated government contractors. Way to get big business out of Washington! They will clear a small, government-approved profit on top of their government-approved fees. Then, when healthcare costs rise — and they will — Democrats will insist, yet again, that the profit motive is to blame and out from this Obamacare Trojan horse will pour another army of liberals demanding a more honest version of single-payer.”

“The Obama administration has turned the insurance industry into the Blackwater of socialized medicine.” Goldberg concludes.
A swift dose of propaganda is sure to silence some critics. However, if the softly softly approach fails, the myriad of new taxes and regulations contained in the Obamacare bill will be aggressively enforced by no less than 16,500 new “combat trained” IRS agents armed to the teeth with shotguns, who will also closely scrutinize Americans’ income tax returns and be waiting to pounce should they find evidence of anyone trying to avoid paying for mandatory government health care.

Even if you agree with socialized health care in principle, the fact is that this will only benefit the insurance companies who wrote it. Meanwhile millions of Americans will be subjected to more taxation, harassment, and oppression at the hands of a federal government run amok. An out of control leviathan, hell-bent on an agenda to control every aspect of your life, as they lay in wait to exploit the momentum achieved through the passage of Obamacare by ramming through nightmare cap and tax levies to further financially castrate already beleaguered Americans.

Blacks represent 16% of the US population, and two-thirds of the prison population

2010-03-21T12:27:00.000-07:00

I've always been of the belief that the culture of ignorance among our black population was funded and cultured by elements of the CIA. Why? for profit, of course. When we have a prison system as large as we do in the state of California, it becomes very evident that this way of thinking and way of life has been planted by the seeds of our very own secret government. Blacks represent only 16% of the US population, and two-thirds of the prison population. The state of California has built (since '84) 21 new prisons, and only 1 new University. There has been not one effect on percentages in crime statistics, either.

Hearing the stories of Rail cars full of guns isn't anything new. I heard it from the mouth of a former gang member when I lived in Sacramento, an area heavily influenced by gangs and gang activity. Why would unattended rail cars full of guns be left in the suburban ghetto? To fuel violence, murder rates, and imprisonment. If you are sentenced to life for killing someone, or multiple people - you sit there and do nothing but make the state money for the rest of your pathetic life. That's why there's gangster rap, and rappers preaching the glamorous life of 'pimping hoes' and carrying automatic weapons for protection...

Telepathic computer can read your mind

2010-03-13T16:31:00.001-08:00

Telepathy has taken a step closer to reality after British scientists developed a computer that can read your thoughts.

By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent
Published: 5:00PM GMT 11 Mar 2010

The system is able to decipher thought patterns and tell what people are thinking simply by scanning the brain.

The breakthrough is a step forward because it can delve into people's memories and differentiate between different recollections.

The breakthrough follows research last year by the same team who used the same technique to track a person's movements around a computer-simulated room.

The study published online in Current Biology focussed on the hippocampus, an area at the centre of the brain that plays a crucial role in short term memory.

A telepathy machine raises the prospect of a lie detector tests and could even lead to manipulations of memories such as in the film the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MInd.

In their latest experiment the researchers showed 10 volunteers three seven second films featuring different women carrying out an everyday task in a typical urban street such as posting a letter or drinking coffee from a paper cup.

The volunteers were asked to memorise what they saw and then recall each one in turn whilst inside an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner which records brain activity by measuring changes in blood flow within the brain.

The computer algorithm then studied the electrical patterns and could tell which film the volunteer was recalling with an accuracy of about 50 per cent - which was well above chance.

Prof Eleanor Maguire, of University College London, said: "In our previous experiment we were looking at basic memories, at someone's location in an environment.

"What is more interesting is to look at 'episodic' memories – the complex, everyday memories that include much more information on where we are, what we are doing and how we feel.

"We've been able to look at brain activity for a specific episodic memory — to look at actual memory traces. We found our memories are definitely represented in the hippocampus.

"Now that we've seen where they are, we have an opportunity to understand how memories are stored and how they may change through time."

The researchers used the same scanning technique in their earlier study to work out the locations of four men as they navigated their way around a virtual reality room.

The pattern of brain activity was different for each of the four points they visited - allowing the team to work out where the men were.

Pseudo Arnold: Send California prisoners to Mexico

AFP
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested California could ease its crowded prison system by sending thousands of undocumented inmates to specially built jails in Mexico.

Speaking to reporters at the Sacramento Press Club, Schwarzenegger said California could ease its strained finances by a billion dollars if 20,000 illegal immigrants currently held in the state were housed across the border.

“I think that we can do so much better in the prison system alone if we can go and take, inmates for instance, the 20,000 inmates that are illegal immigrants that are here and get them to Mexico,” Schwarzenegger said.

“Think about it — if California gives Mexico the money. Not ‘Hey, you take care of them, these are your citizens’. No. Not at all.

Banker Fueled Mortgage Crisis - a worldwide catastrophe set in motion

....hmmm, so --- are you starting to see a pattern here? can you say ; engineered GLOBAL financial crisis !?

We need to hold the banks, and the financial composers of this OUTRAGE responsible for their actions ; as they are criminals and need to be regarded as THIEVES AND CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS. These so called 'Rocket Scientists', are mere con men praying on their brothers,sisters,cousins,neighbors, and friends... They have no souls ; they are heartless men and women of money - whom will stop at nothing to get more at the expensive of humanity as a whole. Stop them now ; at this point in history before our children, and our children's children inherit a world of debt, and servitude and slavery to the financial elite.

Los Angeles Times : Bankrupt Bankers and Billion-Dollar Bonuses

Bankrupt Bankers and billion-dollar bonuses

Great news! Just when it seems like all the tidings about the economy are terrible -- the United States financial system is buckling under $700 billion of bad debt, regular people are losing their homes, their jobs and their pensions -- comes reassurance from Wall Street. It turns out that the head honchos at Lehman Brothers, which filed bankruptcy last week, will still be getting their share of the $2.5 billion set aside for staff bonuses.

Barclay's of London, which is buying Lehman Brothers for $1.75 billion, confirmed the news to The Independent. The pool gets divvied up between 10,000 people.

I wonder if that includes the $188 million the company agreed to pay to CEO Richard Fuld a couple of years ago? Maybe not. There seems to be tussle over the $34 million he earned last year. (All told, the Age reported, Lehman's top 5 execs took home $81 million in 2007.)

I know what you're thinking: If the compensation for failure is $2.5 billion, how much is success worth? Oh, wait -- that's not it. You want Barclay's to give those execs a financial haircut! Now, if Lehman had been bailed out by Washington, the bonuses would seem a bit more tenuous. But wait -- a contract is a contract, isn't it? If Lehman employees met the contractural requirements for a bonus, shouldn't they receive it, regardless of the overall company's travails?

Wall Street set to award record pay: report
(AFP) – 2 days ago

WASHINGTON — US banks and securities firms could pay a record 140 billion dollars to its staff this year, a rebound in compensations that comes despite regulatory scrutiny of Wall Street pay culture, a report said Wednesday.

Workers at 23 top investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers and stock and commodities exchanges can expect to earn even more than they did at the peak year of 2007, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal.

It studied securities filings for the first half of 2009 and revenue estimates through year-end.

Total compensation and benefits at publicly traded firms that the Journal analyzed were on track to increase 20 percent from last year's 117 billion dollars, and to top 2007's 130 billion dollar payout.

This year, employees at the companies will earn an estimated 143,400 dollars on average, up almost 2,000 dollars from 2007 levels, it said.

The report came as companies began declaring their third quarter earnings, with financial firms expected to perform well and revenue moving to levels seen before the financial crisis sparked off by a home mortgage meltdown.

JPMorgan Chase reported Wednesday its third quarter profit jumped to 3.6 billion dollars in a further sign of the rebounding fortunes of the banking sector.

The profit however was heavily skewed to investment banking and trading results, which offset weakness in the consumer sector, especially in credit cards.

The group, among the healthiest of the major US banks, said earnings were multiplied nearly by seven from 527 million dollars in the same period a year ago.

Financial firms have been boosted by a stronger stock market, thawing credit market, a resurgence in deal making and the continuing effects of various government aid programs, even though the economy remains sluggish and unemployment is near double digit levels.

The rebound also reflected growing confidence by some Wall Street firms that they can again pay top dollar for top talent, especially once they have repaid the taxpayer-funded capital infusions they received at the height of the crisis, the Journal said.

So far, regulators and lawmakers have focused on making sure pay practices discouraged excessive risk-taking.
The Journal's analysis included JP Morgan and other banking giants such as Bank of America and Citigroup, securities firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Resources.

The total revenues of the firms studied were projected to hit 437 billion dollars, surpassing 2007's 345 billion dollars, according to the analysis.

Hey Nobel Prize Committee - WAR IS PEACE, WAR IS PEACE ....

2009-10-15T22:08:00.000-07:00

What a Joke, Obama takes 50,000 troops out of Iraq; but puts 50,000 more contractors in, then sends 16,000 more troops to Afghanistan thus continuing the global 'war on terror' and what does the Nobel committee think? He deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. This crap is so Orwellian people - wake the hell up. I'm not an Obama basher, and I've never voted Republican so get off the two party debate as well because to me it's PEPSI or COKE you morons. You support one or the other side of the same corporate elitist network ; so wake up and start treating it that way.

Now, I know the political BS comes into play here, and Obama cannot look like a 'socialist' for not fighting the 'big bad terrorists' overseas to the right wingers, and had to satisfy the left by pulling out 50,000 troops. The point is, he's playing you all like a friggin' piano, and you people don't even get it. FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! I always have, and I always will when it comes to political issues, because....

MONEY is the MOTHERS MILK of POLITICS.

... annnnnd sooooo :

The rich have stolen your government, and your economy. You must think it's all a big joke, and it's not. The Dollar has fallen 11% against the Russian Rub el. Doesn't that concern you a bit? Gold is up over $1,000 which is what I TOLD YOU. Doesn't THAT concern you? Did you ever think that could happen? Are you conditioned from a young age to believe everything you hear on the radio and watch on television?

Grow up. Start thinking for yourselves. We've fallen asleep at the wheel and our country is in DEEP because of the crooked politicians, bankers, lobbyists, and private interests that control literally everything now. Is this the country you want to give your children? Is these the values you want to raise your family with? Is it ethical for our politicians to deal out over 20 TRILLION DOLLARS to private interests, while leaving the hard working people HOMELESS and in the middle of a mortgage crisis perpetuated by GREED ?

People are waking up everywhere... and to you, I tip my hat in trust as my brother in arms and friend through this struggle. But to those whom still arrogantly shout the statistics of the corporate news networks - grow the fuck up. Obama didn't deserve a Nobel peace prize, the elitists decided he did. Who pulls his strings? Ask yourselves more questions ; think for yourselves and you will be truly free.

Average Bonus at Goldman Sach's in London : $800,000
Executive Bonuses : Several Million $

Ask yourselves why ROLLS ROYCE set a record year -- woooh, hoo well cheers to them eh? go figure in the middle of a recession eh? I assume all the parts / engines and such it supplies to the military industrial complex didn't hurt, either.

Ask yourself, why that in the late 70's the average high income went from around $200k, to $450k -- and why the middle class only went from 40k to 47k ... and the lower classes sank to an all time low in average income??

... me, I'm still trying to figure out what I would actually do with $500,000 a year as income. I think people have become much to indulgent, and comfortable. Perhaps a rude awakening is coming. And maybe, just maybe - not one set in place by an act of war ; but by 'acts' of greed, and indulgent misdoings. What happens 10 years from now? Will they just continue to borrow more, bailing us out perpetually ? ...

Money is the root of all evil. And as Orwell wrote ; WAR, is PEACE.

George Bailes....

2009-10-03T21:57:00.001-07:00

Wednesday, December 03, 2008

CA: Shooter in shotgun slaying acted in self-defense: "A man wanted in connection with the Sept. 17 shooting death of 54-year-old Hayward resident George Bailes turned himself in to Alameda County Sheriff's deputies Sunday afternoon... Bailes, 54, was shot and killed in an Ashland apartment on the 1500 block of 167th Avenue at about 5:45 p.m. Sept. 17. Sgt. David Dickson said police believe Eddleman shot Bailes in the chest with a shotgun after a chaotic life-or-death struggle. The fight began with a dispute over a car owned by Aaron Hammond, 33, whose girlfriend drove it to San Francisco to see Eddleman, Dickson explained. On the night of the shooting, four other people were present at the Ashland residence when Hammond and Eddleman got into a confrontation over the vehicle in a back bedroom. Hammond fired a handgun at Eddleman and missed, Dickson said. Bailes then charged into the bedroom with a shotgun to defend Hammond, and a struggle over the weapon ensued, Dickson said. In a bloody struggle in which the shotgun was discharged into the ceiling and a knife came into play, the men crashed through a sliding glass shower door before Eddleman finally gained control of the shotgun and shot Bailes, who was falling backward, Dickson said. "It was clearly a violent struggle," Dickson said. "Eddleman was in a fight for his life." Dickson said the District Attorney's Office has determined that Eddleman acted in self-defense.... George Bailes Sr., 74, of Sacramento said Bailes grew up in Hayward. He described his son as a big, tough man who had problems with drugs and the law, and had served time at San Quentin."

2009-08-04T16:25:00.000-07:00

Was the war is won, or lost?

Who is to say that a war is ever 'won' at all, when in actuality - all is lost ; and only those in powerful positions 'win' financially, by providing the materials to fight the war in the first place. Many times, the elite are financing both sides of the war. Just look at history ; because I'm tired of playing in the sandbox with people on this issue.

The Federal Reserve isn't a 'conspiracy theory', either - you people need to get your friggin' heads checked out.

Rosthchild financiers funded both sides of many wars ; with the ultimate goal of total global financial domination. That ; my friends is the truth - and for those to question the issue just makes me angry at this point. I've done the research, reading numerous papers, books, articles, and even government documents on the issue. Ultimately, the Fed is in control of our country - and those whom question their financial dominance and influence are basically ignored by the mainstream media.

Recently, there have been efforts to audit the Federal Reserve. Those efforts, have been stonewalled by the Fed itself ; only making them seem even more at the heart of our problems. If Americans wanted to live free, or die - why did we put a Financial dictatorship at the helm of our entire monetary system? I believe the answer is that we were tricked into it. The great depression was pretty much engineered by the JP Morgan co ; and power was given to the Fed soon after.

What I see taking place in our economy now, is another financial 'fire sale' of sorts. The banks have been dealt out an amazing amount of capital from the (you guessed it!) Federal Reserve ; and they're not lending any of it to us. Why? Well , in my opinion and that of many others - they are waiting for our economy to bottom out, tank hard -- drop below expectations ; so that they can buy up Banks, Corporations, Properties, (everything) for pennies on the dollar.

One of the best investments to date has been Gold, which is interesting to me - as if the United States had stayed on a gold or even a silver standard maybe we wouldn't be in this position today with our currency being based only in the OIL commodity. What's that you say? Well, there really isn't anything banking our beloved greenback other than the fact that other countries must buy their oil from the middle east in US DOLLARS. That's when the Iraq iwar(s) become a lot clearer -- and this is another example of how brainwashed we all really are. Iraq has the WORLD's 2ND LARGEST oil reserves. Again, #2 in the WORLD.... The 2005 Iraqi constitution influenced by US advisors, also contains language guaranteeing a major role for foreign oil companies. We've basically dropped ourselves right into a war for financial means, not a war to free (anyone) ; and I see the same propaganda being fed by the Obama administration now about Iran. What are we gearing up to secure more Oil Land? Get real people. Iran is #2 in natural gas production, and right behind Iraq at #3 in oil production. Must be nice for the good old USA to secure both #2, and #3 in oil production... quite a good land grab, old boys!

My point is very simple. WAKE THE FUCK UP. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND. CALL THIS FOR WHAT IT IS AND STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING THE FUCKING TV SAYS.

concerns me to no end ....

For man to concern himself with fantasy,
instead of the monster we call reality -
is unto itself, the greatest fallacy of all man kind.

As an ever rising flood of pain embellishes itself,
wraps us like a warm blanket forgiving no fear ;
leaving no trace of ourselves in the reflection
it's overwhelming wake of power
consumes us to no end

Again, ...we find no love in war ;

In the final hours
we find our hopes
only there inside
of our dreams

reality lost
in the fields
of manufactured
free thought

we are appeased

#6. Johnson Bogart: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/14/BAK712A30P.DTL

" Johnson "Jack" Bogart, a real estate figure who spearheaded efforts to move and transform the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, has died. He was 79.Associates credited Mr. Bogart, who had a taste for parties and the art of the deal, with being the driving force behind the museum's successful move in March 2003 from an annex without its own entrance at the de Young Museum to a $170 million home in the refurbished Main Library on Civic Center Plaza.

"It would not have happened without him," said Ed Berkowitz, a former business associate who went on to serve with of Mr. Bogart on both the Asian Art Commission and the Asian Art Museum Foundation, the museum's governing boards. "If you had taken him out of the equation, I don't think it would have happened."

#7. David D. H. Bohannon : http://www.almanacnews.com/story.php?story_id=3655 : "Sitting at the end of a 15-foot-long conference table in his San Mateo office, David Bohannon reads the headline of a newspaper article and can't stop laughing.

"Five o'clock headache on Marsh Road," he reads aloud, a grin from ear to ear. He holds up the article — it's from a 1960 issue of the now-defunct Redwood City Tribune.

"Forty-seven years later, and people still don't want to be impeded on their way," he says. "The people of Menlo Park were complaining about traffic then, and they aren't going to stop now."

Mr. Bohannon has heard his fair share of traffic complaints, as his company, the David D. Bohannon Organization, owns more than 300 acres of land in east Menlo Park. He is CEO and president of the company, which also built and owns the Hillsdale Shopping Center and development projects in the East Bay.

Since he took on an executive role with the company 21 years ago, he's overseen those projects, and inherited the history that comes along with them. That history is evident in the massive, hardbound books of newspaper clippings, photographs and site maps highlighting projects undertaken since Mr. Bohannon's grandfather set the foundation for the company in the 1920s.

His grandfather (also named David Bohannon) sold residential lots of what was then unincorporated "Belle Haven City" — now Menlo Park's Belle Haven neighborhood.

"All of this was grazing lands and bay fields," says Mr. Bohannon, pointing out the window of his SUV while driving on Marsh Road. "My grandfather started selling residential lots, and then had a vision to create an industrial park."

From the 1940s to the 1970s, Bohannon Industrial Park took shape, as the elder Bohannon subdivided land and either leased or sold the lots to manufacturers such as Johnson & Johnson.

Frances Bohannon, the elder Bohannon's daughter, took over the company and the industrial park before turning over full control to her nephew, the current owner.

"It wasn't always a given I would be part of the family business," Mr. Bohannon says. "I wanted to do my own thing and prove myself before [working] for the family."

After graduating from Santa Clara University, Mr. Bohannon opted to "establish himself" by working up the ranks of a commercial real estate firm.

But when three top executives in the Bohannon Organization were killed in a 1985 plane crash, Mr. Bohannon came back to the family business to help fill the void.

Ditching politics

Since taking a top spot in his family's organization, Mr. Bohannon has been an outspoken player on Menlo Park's divisive political scene, but he says those days are no more.

In the past, he's criticized what he has perceived as "anti-business" or "no-growth" city policies, and thrown support behind what some people have labeled "developer-friendly" candidates in local elections.

At Mr. Bohannon's peak involvement in the "no-growth vs. pro-growth" political battle, he worked with residents of the Belle Haven neighborhood to defeat zoning restrictions proposed for the city's industrial district in 2002. Previously, his company contributed $20,000 to "pro-development" candidate Christina Angell-Atchison in the 2000 City Council election.

But in recent years, he's backed away from politics, and he wants it to stay that way.

"People have gotten used to this two-sided political battle, and the last thing I need is to get involved with one side or the other," he says.

Former Menlo Park councilwoman Gail Slocum says Mr. Bohannon's recent track record suggests his intentions are genuine. She notes that he gave $2,000 to all six council candidates before the recent election, and attended both election-night campaign parties.

"[Mr. Bohannon] has done what a lot of people haven't been able to do, and that's step back from this super partisanship," Ms. Slocum says. "He knows there's bigger, more important things than this dualistic battle."

Leading up to the November election, Mr. Bohannon co-chaired the Measure K campaign in an effort to pass the city's utility tax measure. His company contributed $10,000 to the campaign, and Tyco Electronics and Sun Microsystems followed suit with equal contributions.

Being a developer

Even after removing himself from Menlo Park politics, Mr. Bohannon said he still faces the misconceptions and generalizations associated with being a Menlo Park "developer."

"I think developers represent change, and change is difficult," he says. "A lot of people in Menlo Park don't want change, so they don't want development. ... But now here we are — a very wealthy community that has turned its back on development for many, many years."

He recognizes that a lot of the anti-development sentiment comes down to a key issue: the fear that developing the city will lead to more traffic.

"Like it or not, Menlo Park, like every other city on the Peninsula, is growing," he says. "What was going on here in the 1950s is not going on now — this is a major urban center. ... I don't like the traffic either — every time I go home in the afternoon, I can't stand driving by Hillview School."

Mr. Bohannon says that like many residents, he's happy Menlo Park has prevented large stores from moving in and killing the character of the city, avoiding the "Wal-Mart effect."

But there's still room for change, he says, because development "renews" the community.

"Look at our downtown area," he says. "What's happening in downtown Palo Alto, and what's happening at Stanford Shopping Center significantly affects our downtown, ... but we just haven't recognized the need to make changes."

Dealing with change

Mr. Bohannon says he's in the process of deciding what changes need to be made on his family's property in the industrial park — a re-evaluation sparked by the dot-com bubble burst.

"Our vacancies are down and things are looking up, at the moment," he says, pointing to a three-building office complex adjacent to the Dumbarton railroad off Jefferson Drive — a campus just leased to Intuit, a software company.

"But in 2002, vacancies were pretty darn high. ... That reminded us the market is always changing."

Bohannon Industrial Park itself is evidence of the changing economy. Buildings at the park range from box-like 1960s manufacturing warehouses to 1990s office buildings with floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Some of the buildings haven't changed a lot, but what's going on inside them has," he says, noting that companies like Sun Microsystems have moved to sites originally designed for heavy manufacturing.

One big change on Mr. Bohannon's mind is a proposal to demolish two blocks of the industrial park to make way for a new hotel and office complex. He hopes to present the plans to the City Council in March.

"We're underperforming in this area," he says, sitting outside the proposed hotel site.

Giving back

Not all Menlo Park residents think of development plans or political donations when hearing Mr. Bohannon's name.

"David Bohannon has done a lot for this community," says Lorie Sinnott, a planning commissioner and a friend of Mr. Bohannon's since they were both first-graders at Oak Knoll School. "He's been unfairly treated by some people and by the press, and what's lost is how much he does for this town."

Mr. Bohannon gives regularly to community groups, such as the Boys and Girls Club. He also contributed $250,000 to help establish the Belle Haven Community School.

Last fall, he donated $1,500 to Jesse Fifita, a defensive lineman on the Menlo-Atherton football team who needed donations to pay for surgery due to a season-ending injury.

Earlier this month, Jesse signed a letter of intent to play football at Oregon State University, and Mr. Bohannon was there for the celebration.

"He needed $1,500, and to me, it was a no-brainer," says Mr. Bohannon. "It's not too often you get to directly help someone like that."

" Forever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. "

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places” (Matt. 24:6-7).

" For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt. 24:21-22).

“... and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. ... And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Lk. 21:11, 25, 26).

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” (Rev. 6:4-8).

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. ... And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Rev. 13:5-8, 13-18).

“And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” (Rev. 8:6-13).

“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. ... And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. ... And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great” (Rev. 16:1-4, 8-9, 21).

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).

US Federal Reserve / Banking / Banker Quotes...

2008-11-12T21:38:00.001-08:00

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - Thomas Jefferson.

"I have two great enemies, the southern army in front of me and the financial institutions, in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is the greatest enemy..... I see in the future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of the war." - Abraham Lincoln

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson, The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." - President James A. Garfield (1831-1881)

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." -- Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

"The Central Banks (which charge interest to governments for the money they produce from out of nothing, with no labour or wealth involved) have secured these loans against your future taxes. Without even asking you, a substantial part of your future worth has been put up as collateral. What Central Banks do in a big way with countries, your local bank will replicate on organisations and individuals, using the same slight of hand to produce the funds they lend out of thin air." - Alternative Trading Network article

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1790

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." - Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain

Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal -- that there is no human relation between master and slave." - Leo Tolstoy
"All of the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arises, not from the defects of the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." -- John Adams, Founding Father

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance." - President James Madison

"You are a den of vipers and thieves and I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out. If Congress has the right to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, and not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.." -- Andrew Jackson's address to Congress 1829

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our constitution - taking from the federal government their power of borrowing." Thomas Jefferson, 1798

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson, The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809). This prophesy has come true.

"In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called 'Colonial Scrip.' We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one. In this manner, by creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay, to anyone.

You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend money into circulation, while banks can only lend significant amounts of their promissory bank notes, for they can neither give away nor spend but a tiny fraction of the money the people need. Thus, when your bankers here in England place money in circulation, there is always a debt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is that you have always too little credit in circulation to give the workers full employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too little money in circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endless burden of unpayable debt and usury." - *Benjamin Franklin Autobiography

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. (in reference to lincoln issuing currency from the US treasury) It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." - Hazard Circular - London Times 1865

Which was basically a response to this:

"The government should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers..... The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power." -*Lincoln Abraham Senate document 23, Page 91. 1865

"The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the US, if they remained as one block, and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world." - Otto von Bismark, Chancellor of Germany 1876

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." - President James A. Garfield (1831-1881)

"The earth, in its natural, uncultivated state was, and ever would have continued to be, the common property of the human race." As the land gets cultivated, "it is the value of the improvement, only, and not the earth itself, that is in individual property. Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated lands, owes to the community a ground-rent..to every person, rich or poor...because it is in lieu of the natural inheritance, which, as a right, belongs to every man, over and above the property he may have created, or inherited from those who did" - Thomas Paine 1796, p. 611; 612-613

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." -- Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

"If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The difference between the bond and the bill is the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people. " - Thomas Edison, The New York Times, December 6, 1921

"The Central Banks (which charge interest to governments for the money they produce from out of nothing, with no labour or wealth involved) have secured these loans against your future taxes. Without even asking you, a substantial part of your future worth has been put up as collateral. What Central Banks do in a big way with countries, your local bank will replicate on organisations and individuals, using the same slight of hand to produce the funds they lend out of thin air." - Alternative Trading Network article

"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce... And when you realise that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." - James Garfield (assasinated within weeks of release of this statement during first year of his Presidency in 1881)

"Money plays the largest part in determining the course of history" - Karl Marx (Communist Manifesto)

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1790

"Those few who can understand the system (check book money and credit) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on it favors, that there will be little opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear it burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." - The Rothschild Brothers of London

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of it laborers, the genius of its scientists and the hopes of its children" — President Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Since 1940, Washington has spent the unimaginable sum of $20 trillion ($20,000,000,000,000!) on the military--enough money to have provided for adequate nutrition, clean water, electrification, housing, literacy, and basic health care for the world's entire population. In the next four years alone an additional $1.2 trillion will go down the military rathole. Today the U.S. military budget is bigger than that of the rest of the United Nations Security Council members combined. This bloated military establishment exists to protect and serve U.S. capital--not only to extend and maintain its domination in what used to be called the Third World, the oppressed countries, but also vis-a-vis its imperialist allies and rivals." - Richard Becker

"The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically corrupt modern civilization." - Otto von Bismarck, German Chancellor (1815-1898), after Lincoln assassination.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." - Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain

"Because of 'fractional' reserve system, banks, as a whole, can expand our money supply several times, by making loans and investments." "Commercial banks create checkbook money whenever they grant a loan, simply by adding new deposit dollars in accounts on their books in exchange for a borrower's IOU." - Federal Reserve Bank, New York

"The actual process of money creation takes place in commercial banks. As noted earlier, demand liabilities of commercial banks are money.."Confidence in these forms of money also seems to be tied in some way to the fact that assets exist on the books of the government and the banks equal to the amount of money outstanding, even though most of the assets themselves are no more than pieces of paper--.", P.3."Commercial banks create checkbook money whenever they grant a loan, simply by adding new deposit dollars in accounts on their books in exchange for a borrower's IOU.", p. 19. "The 12 regional reserve banks aren't government institutions, but corporations nominally 'owned' by member commercial banks.",
p. 27.- Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it (p15). The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled." - John Kenneth Galbraith, Money: Whence it came, where it went - 1975, p29.

"While economic textbooks claim that people and corporations are competing for markets and resources, I claim that in reality they are competing for money - using markets and resources to do so. Greed and fear of scarcity are being continuously created and amplified as a direct result of the kind of money we are using. For example, we can produce more than enough food to feed everybody, and there is definitely not enough work for everybody in the world, but there is clearly not enough money to pay for it all. In fact, the job of central banks is to create and maintain that currency scarcity. Money is created when banks lend it into existence When a bank provides you with a $100,000 mortgage, it creates only the principal, which you spend and which then circulates in the economy. The bank expects you to pay back $200,000 over the next 20 years, but it doesn't create the second $100,000 - the interest. Instead, the bank sends you out into the tough world to battle against everybody else to bring back the second $100,000."- Bernard Lietaer, Former Central Banker

2008-11-06T07:45:00.000-08:00

Ok, so big surprise right? Obama, the chosen one - (by the corporate / banking elite) won the election. Yay, Slaves for Change.

See, the problem is that you live in a corporate plutocracy. Voting for McCain is like voting the oil corporations back into power, and voting for Obama is like voting the Bankers into office.

The American people will continue to choose Pepsi, or Coca Cola - as the two party system continues to tear this country apart and divide us on issues (like Prop 8) which have NO significance whatsoever other than to act as a societal wedge between us. You want to end tyranny and poverty and war? Then we need to come together on these issues people. But for people to act like Obama is the 'underdog' or something, and 'they can't believe that he won', is just pure stupidity on their part. This guy was backed with 3-4X the wallstreet capital as McCain. I'm not saying McCain was a better choice, either - what I'm saying is that once again - we choose the 'lesser of two evils' in this country, which is VERY apparent when I talk to my fellow Americans.

This needs to end. We need to put a stop to this destructive two party system, and allow candidates from the green party and constitution party in on the debates, and allow them the same amount of coverage that the Democrats and Republicans get. This is a free country god damn it, and I'll be damned if I ever vote in this two party fleece act of a system again. What for?

I could have told you 6 months ago that Obama was going to win it. All you had to look at was how much money the banking cartel had thrown at him, and you'd quickly realize that he was and has always been the chosen one for the 08 US election. Don't get me wrong, he sure fires off a smooth set of words -- but we'll see if his actions speak louder than empty words. You have to admit that at this point (anyone) would be crazy to want the Job as US commander in chief. Our country is in a state of total disrepair and we're going into another recession ; so what makes you people think Obama is going to fix what's broken?

I don't. I'm not that shallow in my observations of our political system. Obama can't fix what's broken - because he's not going to. It would be like Chase Manhattan telling all of the big bankers to lay off, and give the people with these bad mortgages a break. Never going to happen ; Obama is an International Banking elitest TOOL of the new world order. What's funny is Obama is like putting lipstick on a pig - you can dress up the Banking elite in the clothes of the impoverished people, but you can't hide from the millions of dollars which were leveraged (by the banking elite) to make this guy win.

Let's stop calling Obama the Messiah and ' the change' America needs - right out the gate. I'm sick of this propagandist roderick who's intent is to make you bow down to the all powerful leader. Wait until he actually makes some good decisions (as commander in chief) before you go around worshiping the guy. That's all I am saying, you easily malleable morons!

Terrorizing Dissent - NO MORE ANONYMOUS RIOT OFFICERS TERRORIZING INNOCENT AMERICANS!

2008-11-01T15:46:00.000-07:00

The video you just watched should PISS YOU OFF to see the American police officers terrorizing their own people.
More and more our country slips into this oppressive police state, where police get to remain anonymous and have their corrupt unions back them with free legal help ; paving the way to tyranny for US citizens. Say no to this brutal scare tactic to oppress and quench the voice of our people. This is not supposed to happen in America people - and we need to change things very quickly before FedZilla becomes an even bigger monster.

I call for the arrest of all these officers, and an investigation into the events that transpired at the RNC. This cannot be tolerated, when you can clearly see from this video - multiple officers on top of one subject, with one officer repeatedly spraying pepper spray in this guys face. Is this a professional police bullying tactic, or just plain tyranny? These police officers remind me of Nazi boot licking scum. Your people detest, and deplore your fascist actions!

Diablo Canyon - Now Storing Nuclear Waste

2008-10-24T09:25:00.000-07:00

DIABLO CANYON – It's a victory for PG&E, but a defeat for the group that's waged war on nuclear waste at Diablo Canyon.

On Thursday, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave the okay to a plan to store spent fuel at the facility.

Mothers for Peace, a group of activists on the Central Coast, has been fighting the plan since 2002. They've wanted more research to be done and have questioned if the storage system is safe from terror attacks.

The group had previously won a federal court ruling that forced the NRC to consider its arguments.

In Thursday's three-to-one vote, however, the NRC ruled no more study is necessary.

PG&E plans to move forward with the storage system. It's called dry cask storage, which means the waste will be moved from the cooling pools, which are filling up, to big containers above the ground.

NRC staff members say they studied plausible attack scenarios. They concluded even the worst-case scenarios would result in such a low dose of radiation, it wouldn't cause health problems for the people who live near the plant.

"Today's ruling actually gives people more of a sense of security the NRC has looked into this we do have a very robust, very sound, very safe system for storing our used fuel until the national repository opens," said Swanson.

Jane Swanson, the spokeswoman for Mothers for Peace, says the group is not giving up. With the support of one commissioner and the backing of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, they plan to continue their fight.

More than 50,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel is piling up at nuclear reactors nationwide. The waste is already in dry storage at 47 power plant sites.

These ARE cold blooded people with military minds

Are you listening? 98% of our money supply = created by the banks out of thin air. 10% is only a figurative number on the amount of reserves a bank must have on your deposits. Canada requires that the banks hold 0% in reserve ; because the money is mere paper. People continue to be slaves of the elitists at the top of this pyramid scheme. Because what are their reserves? Gold likely.

Man: " I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think. "

Establishment: " Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink."

First Man: " I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be."

Inner Man: " There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free. "
