Anger at Blair's 'secret deal' to sign new EU constitution

'Tony Blair has been engulfed in a row over Europe after it became clear he is under huge pressure to sign a "son of constitution" treaty next week. A leaked letter by current EU president Angela Merkel revealed that a deal is being drafted to revive almost all the controversial elements of the flopped European Constitution.'

Police taking DNA from the under-10s

Hotel Bans 9/11 Hero

'Five times honoured hero and last man out of the Twin Towers, William Rodriguez, was scheduled to speak in Peterborough, UK, until event organisers were forced to cancel. Rodriguez is currently embarking on a European tour, covering much of the UK.

The event venue in Peterborough, the Bull Hotel, has been inundated with telephone calls and emails requesting an explanation from annoyed members of the public, as it is completely unacceptable to ban a real hero who saved hundreds of lives during the horrific events of 9/11.'

Citaat:
We Must Stand Against This "New World Order"; The Threat is Real

All of us in this country are finally starting to realize that George W. Bush and his right wing, corporate controlled, allies with their grandiose view of military dominance but not backed up by any actual military experience has brought this nation to what can only be described as the lowest point in our history. At no other time since we became an independent nation have we been so reviled by the people of the world. Americans themselves are ashamed of their own country except for the quarter of our population that believe America can do no wrong, if for no other reason than that we are America. This is the 25% that are ethno-centric, or people that don’t bother to actually read anything besides their local paper and have their televisions permanently pegged to FOX News. My country right or wrong, my country, is the mantra of these people. They can be found in China, Russia, Germany, England, Iraq, Iran …any country. Sometimes they are called patriots, sometimes extremists; it all depends on who is doing the reporting.

I am hopefully writing to the 75% of the people that understand what is happening right now. There are some among you that want nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. You people are sick of the tired promises that never seem to be fulfilled and look at politicians as people that govern for their own nefarious purposes. I sympathize with you and agree with you. There are other people that believe that the socialists or the Greens or the Libertarians are going to deliver us into the Promised Land. With you, I also commensurate. If we lived in a perfect world the people with the most altruistic ideas would be listened to. Sadly, that is not the case.

Then there are those that believe that a great Democrat or Republican will be found among the reeds in a tiny cradle and deliver us from the satanic neo-cons and bring forth another era of good government from the people, by the people, and for the people. These people unfortunately make up today’s majority. The trouble with this view is, that unless we change the way our nation elects its leaders, it will never happen. It will never happen because every politician that wages a successful political campaign must, by the very nature of the system, have millions and millions of dollars. In order to get those millions upon millions of dollars, they need to get corporate donations. The only way to get the corporate world to fund your campaign is to support the corporations that support you. In other words, our leaders are bought and paid for before they even get to the point where they are well known enough to get donations from the common people. Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul and Mike Gravel fall into this category. Unless something extraordinary happens, they will remain tier 3 candidates because corporate donations will not come their way, and private donations will never give them the “face” time to compete with the Hillary Clintons and the Mitt Romney’s and the John Edwards and Barak Obama’s. The very best we can hope for is a “moderate corporatist” which according to Benito Mussolini’s definition of a fascist, will indeed be something of a fascist. Don’t blame me, I’m just the messenger.

Meanwhile, Bush has damaged the US Constitution so badly that our basic freedoms and rights have been gutted. Habeas Corpus, State Control of the law enforcement capabilities of the National Guard have been usurped by the Federal Government by the Insurrection Acts and the bolstering of the powers of the National Guard in direct contradiction of Posse Comitatus which was expressly written to stop this very act is ignored. The President has signed a Presidential Directive that basically says in the event of another attack on our soil or a national emergency he can take direct control of all three branches of the Federal Government, setting himself up not as a virtual, but a very real dictator. We have allowed torture, eavesdropping on American citizens, kidnapping people off the streets of the world including in the United States by the CIA and delivering them to countries that have never signed the Geneva Conventions, so that they may be tortured and held indefinitely. We have started a war in another country under false pretenses and taken control of 75% of their oil wealth and given it to the gigantic Multi-national Oil Cartels. The list of egregious acts goes on and on.

The mainstream media in our country no longer reports the real news, skimming over world events but reports in detail about vague diseases and coming pandemics. Then we have the celebrity news that takes the place of the things that affect us directly. We have a “War on Drugs” a “War on Terror” that has morphed into a “Global War on Terror” that is constantly assailing our eardrums and hyping-up the fear of things beyond our control, real and imaginary to keep the population in a constant state of insecurity and worry. We have become a nation of people living in fear. The bird flu, terrorist attacks, you name it, even though in the last four years more people have died in accidents in their bathtubs than in terrorist attacks on our nation!

So what as a nation are we to do? We can’t possibly change all of the State and Federal Laws to get corporations out of picking and supporting our political candidates in the year and a half before the Presidential elections. The only thing we can do as a nation right now is to get the best person running into the White House and into the Congress and keep demonstrating until we end this War in Iraq, have Clean Elections with corporations out of the mix, repeal the Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act of 2006, The Insurrection Act, and all of the other laws limiting the peoples freedom.

Fighting amongst ourselves will get us nowhere. To drop out of the political system because it is not perfect gives your vote to those that would take your freedom. To walk away in disgust and to never look back says to the opposition that you quit, you are beaten and that the powers that be have won. This will be a reflection on who you are and what you believe. Walking away because the opposition doesn’t play fair is no excuse at all. Staying and fighting those that would take our freedom is a responsibility that comes with the citizenship you hold.

Working within the system does not necessarily mean working for the system. Supporting a politician that has a chance of winning does not mean that we actually trust that individual and accept the message that the candidate is promoting. It only means that we are supporting him or her because they can win. In doing so, we must hold that person to a higher set of standards. We must be “totally engaged”. In that I mean from our local town council, to the State Government, to the Federal Government. We must choose the pool of leaders that the future will draw from to produce leaders at the national level. If George W. Bush had never been elected at the State level, it would have been unlikely that he would have been elected at the National level.

We as Americans, have a tremendous job in front of us. This “New World Order” that has actually emerged from the shadows and proved itself to be a real and tangible threat to our system of representative Democracy comes wrapped in names like “The Project for a New American Century” and the “Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies”, “Centre for Policy Studies” and the “American Enterprise Institute” to name a few, are the reason that the right wing can influence so many trusting citizens to their ultra right causes, while we on the progressive left usually work independently, favoring independent thought over “groupthink” dogma.

The basic principle that we must all learn to embrace is that there are shades of difference on the left and to learn to live with that difference. We must unite in a solid front and look at the larger, more important issues that are facing us. These issues, the gutting of the Constitution, pre-emptive war, the new imperialism, the class war between the haves and have-nots, the racism and the hatred of alternative lifestyles by the right, the weakening of Roe Vs. Wade, the actuality of the people in our nation with no health insurance, the turning of backs on New Orleans, these are the things we should be fighting for.

We are living in a nation that is in crisis. We cannot afford at this juncture to become side-tracked by minor differences of opinion. At this particular point the Democrats have a real chance to seize power from the right. No other party has that power at this particular moment. We all would like to find that perfect candidate that will be a true humanitarian, a person with a sense of vision, and a track record that bears that out. The trouble with this scenario is that there isn’t anyone like that who could win the nomination, or if they ran as an independent could get the monetary backing and the public support to win the Presidency. I believe that today, this is fact. It might not be fact in the future, but today it is fact.

So what are we to do to counter what has taken place in the time that the ultra right captured the White House and brought us to where we are today? The only choice we have is to support those people in Congress and in the Senate that oppose this President. In the near future, all we can do is to support the person that you believe will undo what the ultra right has done, and who can get enough support to be elected. We must also work to get those of a progressive bent into Congress as Representatives and Senators. We must rebuke all of those people that enabled the right to bring us where we are today. That doesn’t mean fighting with other progressives and liberals on minor issues, it means standing together in a united front.

As I see things, this is our only choice. This is not something we are going to achieve in two years; it will take a long time to put this nation back o0n track. When we have stopped this march toward corporate dictatorship, and put the nation on a firm course of real representation for all Americans, then we can argue the finer points. Until then, we must stand together and destroy the beast that the right has turned loose upon the world.

U kunt nu niet meer zeggen dat U niet gewaarschuwd bent!
Ach ja, we lopen al de hele tijd te waarschuwen!


Citaat:
Life in the New World Order - Soul Mates or Cell Mates?


"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government .... all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." - Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976


"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"


Our lives are being directed according to a business plan. The agenda has been laid out over decades and centuries, we are just led to believe it's happening in real time. There are some very significant dates coming up within the next few short years. Hard to imagine that we are smack dab in the middle of an end-game scenario, with plans coming to fruition that have been laid out and documented since at least the 1920's and 30's. Even more incredible, you can literally go back hundreds of years to find out it's the same basic cast of characters through elite bloodlines responsible for secret societies and shadow governments. Members of this group are said to include such prominent families as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Duponts, as well as presidents, prime ministers and European monarchs.


Using their influence through international organizations such as the World Bank, the IMF, the CFR, the United Nations and NATO, the objective of the internationalists is nothing less than the subjugation of everyone on the planet to a one world government. How long has all this been going on? Without stretching the limits of your indulgence regarding quotations (I'll do that later), consider these, which, if you disregard the names and dates, could easily have been uttered this morning:

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli of England 1844

"From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemberg, and Emma Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."- Winston Churchill London Press l922

" If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." - President Andrew Jackson 1829-1837

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson" - President Franklin D. Roosevelt l933

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952


The Council on Foreign Relations states the following on their website:

"Three former high-ranking government officials from Canada, Mexico, and the United States call for a North American economic and security community by 2010 to address shared security threats, challenges to competitiveness, and interest in broad-based development across the three countries."

"North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a trinational, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries." - May 2005 task force report Building a North American Community published by the Council on Foreign Relations

I refute these assertions categorically. The biggest terrorist and criminal threat we face in North America is from the US government itself. There is a long history of false flag operations or self inflicted wounds like 9-11 committed by this country, so having us join them would surely not mitigate that threat, rather it would increase. As far as competition or uneven economic development, the market will have to take care of any imbalances within itself. Just because the economy is not doing so well right now is no excuse to do away with a sovereign country and abrogate our rights as free individuals, or steal our resources. There is no reason to believe that secretly plotting to merge these nations against the will of their citizens would advance the well-being of anyone, instead, it would destroy our heritage and turn us all into slaves of a corporate fascist state. No thanks. Same goes for the plans to adopt a new common currency for all 3 countries, as if we should have anything to do with the corruption tied to the Federal Reserve System. I would rather not have any part of a nation that can remove people from their home, torture and imprison them, and then deny them any right to a fair trial. What happened to sweet land of liberty, oh right, that's just a song.

Everyone should be aware that the corporate elites in this world fully endorse the Red Chinese model of social governance and economics as the standard for their emerging New World Order. That is the reason for the FEMA camps that have been set up currently under the guise of emergency centers for immigration, natural disaster, or "other". As per the Chinese model, dissidents will be dealt with severely and placed into work camps. A United Nations global police force will help keep everyone in line, once they implement their plans for the Universal Biometrics Identification Card.


"Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." David Rockefeller 1973 New York Times


The movers and shakers of this world will use any means necessary to force their plans of unification on the world. Any issue, whether real, imagined or created can and will be utilized to achieve their objectives; overpopulation, global warming, disease, natural disasters, civil unrest. Population control measures include biological warfare targeting food supply, as well as various methods of climate manipulation through Chemtrails spraying and implementation of the HAARP technology .

The net has begun to close. You are not going to like the changes coming up - we will be forced, bribed and cajoled into accepting new identification measures, new laws, new taxes for global warming, new taxes for more security. After all, there's going to be a lot of angry Iraqi Muslim terrorist types who are out to kill us, especially after we invaded, then decimated their country, destroyed their noble and learned culture, killed about a million of them, displaced a few million more. I guess you could say they might be a tad snarly towards America. They hate our freedoms huh? I guess after we brought our freedom and democracy to them so spectacularly in Iraq, they checked it out and said, "I hate it".
"The terrorist is the one with the small bomb" - Brendan Behan

You're going to hear more hoo-ha about things like the NAU, the Amero, RFID chips, you're going to see more jack-booted heavily armed militia types wearing Kevlar, detaining you and abrogating every god-given right you once had, rights that were once so beautifully encoded by those brilliant fathers of the Constitution, you remember the Constitution don't you? - that inspired set of principles that once made America the envy of the world, until the likes of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld ripped it up and wiped their arses with it, all the while laughing while they grew rich and flushed the country and it's noble ideals down the toilet.

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - Thomas Jefferson

"The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded" - Charles-Louis De Secondat 1748

The Myth of the Free Press

Years ago, it was a common knowledge that the media in former Soviet Union, be it TV, Print or Radio were mouth pieces of the Kremlin. Last year in America, we had stooped to that level as well, our media had become the fixer for our Administration. The reports show the key media guys tooting the horn for our government.

Media is the most important public institution responsible for keeping the democracy alive, and keeping the public aware of what is going on, so the people can take action and keep Government of the people by the people for the people.

My dream job is to influence the policy makers of our country, to put our nation on the path of fairness, justice, equity and liberty in dealing with our domestic and foreign affairs. "Just" dealings have the power to take us and the world through the century with relative peace and prosperity. The whole world is a bus.

Here are some quotes before the report;

"The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the Americans freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight." -- JFK

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." Henry Kissinger, quoted by Bob Woodward in The Final Days, 1976

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.
"[The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions." -- Henry Kissinger, World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel , April 19th 1994

The individual is handicapped coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists. -- J. Edgar Hoover

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." --- George W. Bush ..."Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bush's have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." George Bush Sr. 1992

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - GW Bush, March 13, 2002

It is in every body's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.- Dalai Lama

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do ~~ Edward Everett Hale

My dream is to strengthen the pluralistic values of America, and the desire to encourage the community of nations to review our values of Liberty, Justice and co-existence as catalysts for prosperity. No community or a nation can have undue advantages over others. Such benefits are temporary and deleterious to lasting peace. We have to maintain a healthy balance within our communities and with all nations, what is good for America, has got to be good for the world and vice-versa.

We have a lot of fixing to do, thanks God, on November 7, 2006 Americans woke up and threw the gutless, spineless and useless congress persons and senators out. Thanks God, we had the awakening to restore the checks and balances that our founders had put in place for ensuring the government of the people. I hope on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 the fascist regime ends in our own country for good.

No single party should dominate both the houses. It would make sense to have the House and Senate run by different parties; republican and democratic. It would be in the interest of our nation, that we Americans seek to achieve this. I would also like to see the Judiciary to have lesser influence by either party. This will be my tune for the whole of next year. Let's put our party loyalty aside, and devote our loyalty to one nation, democracy and party in that order.

I am still waiting for the links to the report by Bill Moyers in the month of May 2007, meanwhile here is everything to watch and or read.

Why Are They So Afraid?


Victoria Hardy
June 14, 2007
Why are our politicians so afraid? With the exception of Republican candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich, few have stepped out of the company line, have made waves or bucked the tide and I wonder why. Our 28th president Woodrow Wilson once said, “Since I have entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

So are our leaders simply afraid of more powerful men above them? This long arm of fear is so pervasive that it reaches all levels of government, up to and including the highest offices. And I want to know if the fear is of men or is it something different? There are a lot of theories out there about the unseen force that controls what happens on this planet, from aliens to the Illuminati to the devil himself, the words puppet and marionette are often thrown around describing our seemingly inept government.

Some say our government is ruled by a small group of men called the Illuminati. The Illuminati is a secret society said to mean the “illuminated ones” and these men are behind the plans to bring about a New World Order, motivated by the desire for global domination. And one of the plans to achieve this goal is blending the United States of America with Mexico and Canada to create the North American Union. It is said that there are plans to create a monster highway from Mexico to Canada and that is the reason the elusive fence along the border will never be built. Many believe nothing in this country and abroad happens without the approval of the Illuminati, including presidential assassinations. So is this small group of men the reason our leaders seem so terrified to step out of the box?

Coincidence or conspiracy? (Part 1)

FDR said "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." "History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon." And "History is decided by the winners." Napoleon Bonaparte

Skeptical individuals who refuse to accept the government's version of reality are frequently and popularly demonized throughout the media as crazed "conspiracy theorists." Therefore, these individuals, despite their accurate perceptions and research acuity, not only lack credibility, but are to be scorned by the majority of the programmed population. As soon as the two words "conspiracy" and "theory" are linked in the same sentence, people automatically adopt a critical position. Haven't we been warned by the New World Order's most obedient "public servant" himself?: "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty." [1]

And again, although referring to nations instead of individuals, Bush said: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." [2] In essence, through subtle insinuation, we either agree with the government's position or we are an enemy. However, the most outrageous, incredulous "conspiracy theories" are those contrived and aggressively propagated by the government. And, unfortunately, these federal fairytales are widely accepted by the majority, even those who consider themselves well-informed and intelligent.

To simplify the matter, there are two ways of looking at history: "the conspiracy theory of history" or "the accidental theory of history." Either circumstances are premeditated and controlled or they are accidental and coincidental. [3] Those who make an effort to critically study history, read the founding documents and evaluate legislative activity, quickly reject the "accidental theory of history." Consequently they are frequently ridiculed by uninformed, apathetic, eye-rolling friends and relatives who happily prefer not to acknowledge reality, perhaps supposing superiority over those they deem excessively gullible. Or that somehow, their arrogant ignorance will spare them any calamitous consequences.

The more popular, emotionally comfortable, however preposterous, "accidental theory of history" requires no effort and no responsible, rational response thus allowing individuals to maintain their heads-buried-in-the-sand, sheep-like mentality. Nevertheless, further examination should generate some very conspicuous questions, the first of which might be: why do allegedly well-meaning articulate, intelligent, public servants (AKA: government officials), who supposedly represent America's best interests, make conscious decisions that repetitively produce the exact same horrifically deadly results for America? They are either incredibly stupid, grossly inefficient or they have compromised whatever values and decency they once had and do not represent America's best interests. Look at the evidence!

One would assume, given the law of averages, that we would have a reasonable number of successes. However, the following circumstances greatly suggest that there are numerous, nay an absolute multitude, of freedom-destroying, anti-America coincidences, as follows:

The World's Warriors: Since the Civil War, the government has hastily, unconstitutionally committed citizens to war, some prolonged and catastrophic, all taking life, massive amounts of money, our liberties and most undeclared by Congress. These imperialistic-like wars are associated with control of people and resources. We have manned military bases throughout the world. We engage in "preventative war" — the strongest military country in the world starts a war to prevent others from starting a war? The object of war is war! The government has additionally relinquished American troops to serve under the U.N. We allegedly bomb foreigners into democracy for their own good. The government engages in serialized nation building in other countries and furnishes expensive aid to purported enemies via our tax dollars. The government siphons foreign aid dollars from our pockets into the personal pockets of U.S. installed dictators, friendly to big business.

The CIA (corporate interest agency) aggressively arranges foreign regime changes friendlier to so-called U.S. interests — translation: big business. The CIA is a shadow government, the operating arm of the CFR, isolated and immune from any oversight by Congress or the populace. "It, in fact, dictates a substantial portion of this country's foreign, economic and military policy from a place not accessible to the will of a free people properly armed with facts." [4]

The U.S. government pays an ever-increasing number of private mercenary corporations and multinational military contractors, closely associated friends of the administration, like the Vinnell Corporation, MPRI, DynCorp, Blackwater USA, or Brown and Root (KBR), a spin-off of Halliburton. There are many things that enlisted citizens will not carry out against foreign strangers or American citizens. For more enlightenment, see the Google film: Iraq For Sale, the War Profiteers. In addition, some of these companies provide "non-official cover for CIA officers." [5]

The Elite Government (America's self-appointed nobility): Congress regularly gives themselves healthy pay increases in addition to excessive perks and huge pensions. I thought they were public servants — hired by the voters! Especially since 2000, there has been a huge influx of deep-pocketed, successful lobbyists. The Elites escape criminal punishment for a plethora of criminal activities, including sex crimes. Regular people are prosecuted and incarcerated. Politicians go to rehab. The nobility easily arranges the imprisonment of whistleblowers, income tax protestors and other patriots. "Public servants" apparently have complete contempt for the Constitution despite their pledges to uphold it. Presidents use Executive Orders and Presidential Directives to circumvent the Constitution. FEMA gives selective response to national emergencies — 9/11, Katrina.

There are deliberate, documented massive voting irregularities to ensure that the "right" people govern the masses. Jeb Bush had 57,000 voters purged from the roles of certain Florida counties just prior to the 2000 elections. Bush, unrestrained by congress, declared himself to be dictator on May 9, 2007 which gives him the authority to declare any circumstance a national emergency which would enable him to commandeer control of all transportation, communications, food supplies, and to declare Marital Law.

Economy: Congress gave complete control of all U.S. currency to private banks (1913). The Federal Reserve, not a part of the government, controls our economy through inflation and deflation and charges us interest to use the worthless, un-backed paper they print whenever our "public servants" regularly overspend the budget for war, welfare, and pork barrel projects in an effort to remain popular and stay in power. The federal government unconstitutionally extracts a yearly income tax to pay the interest on their popularity projects. The government is selling public property — U.S. infrastructure, bridges, roads and ports to multinational investors who assume total control. Congress refuses to exercise oversight over the numerous, long-term outrageous overpayments to the government-friendly military/industrial complex.

The Vanishing Middle Class: On February 2, 2007, the government made the following claim: "Today, The Government Released New Jobs Figures — 111,000 Jobs Created In January: Since August 2003, more than 7.4 million jobs have been created — more jobs than the European Union and Japan combined. Over half a million jobs (513,000) have been added in the past three months alone. Our economy has now added jobs for 41 straight months, and the unemployment rate remains low at 4.6 percent." [6] What jobs — working for homeland security or FEMA? The government does not produce anything but a money-guzzling bureaucracy — no tangible, marketable product that would generate actual economic growth!

In January 2007 Motorola announced that they were cutting 3500 jobs and then again on May 30, 2007 they announced the cutting of an additional 4000 jobs. On May 31, 2007 Dell announced that they were cutting of 8800 jobs by the end of the year. Due to phony trade agreements, high tech jobs, as well as others, are outsourced while America imports cheap labor disguised as a guest worker program, unsupported by the majority of U.S. citizens.

Privately owned farms and ranches have been taken over by huge government-friendly corporations who care little about the land or animals under their control. Everything is based on profit. The few remaining independent farmers are routinely restrained by government regulations affecting their control over their own property. In addition many have been sued by huge multinational companies who have inconceivably seized government patents on a gradually diminishing variety of natural products. The majority of our food is produced and under the control of a few government-friendly multinational corporations.

Health: There has been an explosive growth of catastrophic, deadly diseases, treated with equally deadly remedies designed to greatly enhance the bottom line of huge pharmaceutical corporations who just happen to employ successful lobbyists. We have descended into a dependent pill popping society. Profit-producing treatment, therefore increasingly expensive and unavailable to a huge segment of the population, has been touted as the preferred medical methodology instead of natural remedies, including the body's own immune system.

There are legal and illegal drugs — both frequently produce incredibly similar dependency and reactions. They are both controlled, expensive and purport to be from different sources. Someone is making lots of profit. Despite millions of dollars ostensibly spent on the war on drugs, countless Americans, now in every income bracket, are addicted to illegal drugs — many of which flow through our unprotected southern border. Drugged-up, distracted Americans don't demand accountability from, or for that matter even acknowledge, an out-of-control centralized tyrannical government.

The elite, particularly installed government officials, have no reservations about extracting or using huge profits from the mind altering, stupor-producing drug addictions, self-inflicted or otherwise, of others for their personal fortunes or to enable the CIC to finance covert operations around the world. Some of the biggest eastern establishment fortunes were made during the 1800s opium wars. Drugs produce mega profits, flourish in certain climates, have universal appeal, and facilitate the efficient globalization towards the New World Order. For a comprehensive and enlightening examination of the government's association with illegal drugs, read Michael C. Ruppert's opening remarks for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, a report that has been completely ignored by the government and the mass media which is revealing in and of itself. [7]

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, committed border patrol agents, started serving 11 and 12 year-long prison terms in January 2007, for their actions in the shooting and wounding of a Mexican drug smuggler, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, who was granted full immunity to testify against them. [8] This was the same month that a senior citizens group received confirmation, through the Freedom of Information Act that any Mexican worker with as little as 18 months of employment history in the United States may qualify for some Social Security retirement benefits. [9] A technicality would normally have gotten the agents a five day suspension, not prison terms.

George W. Bush, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, (a longtime ally of President Bush) and U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone, people who are supposed to put America and her citizens first, unbelievably sided with the drug dealer. Stacking all the courts pays off! Petitions for a presidential pardon and letters from fifty Congress people were ineffective. Aldrete-Davila, the accused drug dealer dropped 700 pounds of marijuana and then fled into Mexico. He received excellent free medical care and full immunity in order to testify against the border agents. Obviously, this incident will render every other border agent ineffective. Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the Border Patrol for alleged violation of his civil rights

Pindar, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly balanced
in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences.
However there is both good news and bad news.

A problem with hemispeheric balance is that you tend to feel more conflictthen someone who has a clealry established dominance.
At times the confilct will be between what you feel and what you think.
but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information.Details which will seem important to the right hemisphere,will be discounted by the left and vice-versa.which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently.In the same vein you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need
to reorganize five or ten weeks later.

On the positive side, you bring resources to problem solving that others may not have.You can 'perceive' the big picture

Your greatets benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you posses.

Animal rescue group to host microchip clinic

nonprofit group dedicated to rescuing Butte County pets and some livestock during natural disasters will host a low-cost pet microchip clinic on June 23, to raise money for its operations.
The event begins at 10 a.m. in the parking lot of Chico Hospital for Cats, 548 W. East Ave.

Sandy Doolittle, a spokesperson for the North Valley Animal Disaster Group, said 300 microchips have been donated. The event will last until 1 p.m., or until the supply of chips is gone.

She said dogs, horses and cats will receive microchip identification implants for a minimum, tax deductible donation of $25 — about a third the normal cost. Dogs must be on leashes, and cats in carriers, she said. The procedure involves injecting a chip about the size of a grain of rice under the animal's skin, and takes about two minutes, Doolittle said.

Animals implanted with registered microchips can be identified by a scanning process and matched to their owner.

The NVADG may be reached at 895-0000, or found online at www.NVDAG.org.

A microchip saved Vanessa Williams’ pooch

An interesting post-script to the dramatic disappearance of Enzo, Vanessa Williams’ pet Yorkie: It turns out that she was ultimately reunited with the dog thanks to a microchip under the its skin. As Williams explained


“He was taken from my property on Memorial Day morning. At your vet you can get a microchip implanted (in your pet) called Home Again, which I did. It doesn’t hurt the dog at all. Then you just log on, and you enroll for this program, and you can find the dog. So if he’s brought into a shelter or another vet, they can scan him and that’s how they called. I got the call last Wednesday, and they said, ‘We have your dog.’”

Apparently the person who turned Enzo in lived in Connecticut, so the dog had presumably traveled pretty far from the Williams home in Chappaqua. The lesson to be learned here: Tracking implants, as Orwellian as they sound, should be implanted in all celebrities or celebrity pets prone to getting lost (it would sure help automate our star map).

And apparently Richard Gere isn’t the only local seduced by the siren song of the Constitution State.

2012 London Olympics Try To Kill Epileptic Viewers

Apparently murder is gonna be a viable category at the London-held 2012 Olympics. 'bout time, we say.

Swimming is boring and watching people run is only fun if it's away from you and your bodybuilder girlfriend. That's precisely why London has decided to push for this new killing category. It's a financially wise decision too, because if the winner is decided by cage match you'd probably only have to buy one winners platform. Say, London, that's monetarily sound!

Now if honesty is the policy of the day again (lame), we're obligated to tell you that the Olympic killing currently being talked about isn't a category of sport. Rather, it seems like people are worried about the new Olympic adverts killing the likes of you and us via synchronised epileptic seizures.

Did you see the 'us' in that last sentence? Suddenly it's warm in here.

There are big fears that the recently released 2012 Olympic advert may cause epileptic seizures and death in all who watch it. This is no doubt a stab at population control by the New World Order, who'd like nothing more than to herd the post-Olympic survivors into a large box and rule over them with a sceptre made from David Icke and Alex Jones' broken leg bones.

We've got proof of that. It's called the Mayan calendar and it's in our car. We also have proof of the seizure-fears currently flowing through London - it's in the form of a BBC News quote:

"A segment of animated footage promoting the 2012 Olympics has been removed from the organisers' website after fears it could trigger epileptic seizures. Prof Graham Harding, who developed the test used to measure photo-sensitivity levels in TV material, said it should not be broadcast again."

And on top of the seizure fears - the accompanying logo has also been accused of being ugly. So many agree with the statement just-read that a petition - 43,400 signatures strong in a recent tally - is flapping around the internet like a hummingbird near a honey-filled hot tub. London's Mayor Ken Livingstone is mad, and he's not paying:

"I wouldn't pay them a penny. Who would go to a firm like that again to ask them to do that work? I mean, this is a pretty basic thing."

Would you like to see the video? Well tough. Last time we posted something like that three of you bit your tongues. We'll not post it because we love you.

We love all of you.

Finally saying it feels good. Why won't you look at us?

Chemtrails and Mind Control




As I’ve studied the chemtrail phenomenon I have struggled with the feeling that I could not grasp the full picture, of course, that is part of a good mystery. As of yet, the powers in charge still fail to recognize that anything is occurring over our heads, the average citizen says they are just contrails and meanwhile the chemtrail lines are showing up in cartoons, on television and in the movies. And for myself, the more I write on and research the subject the more questions I find. And not surprisingly the chemtrail believers are dividing themselves into factions. There are those that believe it is simply a matter of air quality, others who insist that it is all about military applications, those who state it is about mind control and those who know without doubt that it is about weather manipulation being used as a tool to control the masses. I believe all these theories are correct, but the one that disturbs me the most and answers far too many questions is the aspect of mind control.

Oftentimes, the chemtrailers are seen as a bunch of paranoid nuts, much like the 911 Truthers and just about anyone else who sees merit in a “conspiracy theory”. I could go on and on about how the nation is being dumbed down, slowly and insidiously, but really what’s the point, those who understand this fact, understand and those who refuse to acknowledge the idea, will continue to refuse, so it can become an exhausting tug of war.

We are in media overload, the images we take in on a daily basis are constant and do not stop, we are hypnotized by the bright and flashing lights of our televisions. And in our arrogance we protest loudly when our perceptions of events are challenged. We’re busy folks here in America, busy trying to obtain the American dream, we work hard, we play hard, we sleep little and shop a lot. And at the end of the day we relax in front of flashing, colorful, hypnotic lights. And when we trust the information sold to us in advertisements about pharmaceuticals and how we need them, of course, we will not hesitate to trust our news channels, docu-dramas or reality television programs. After a while, it’s all truth. And if an idea is not represented over and again on television, it must not be true or it’s some tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.


Truth is we are being mind controlled and we don’t see it, because that is part of the control. In an interesting article by Judy Wall Aerial Mind Control she explains how our military has used Commando Solo airplanes to perform psychological operations on our enemies for years and that there is no law from preventing them from using them on Americans. According to the USAF official website, “The EC-130J Commando Solo, a specially-modified four-engine Hercules transport, conducts information operations, psychological operations and civil affairs broadcasts in AM, FM, HF, TV and military communications bands. A typical mission consists of a single-ship orbit offset from the desired target audience -- either military or civilian personnel.” USAF And according to Ms. Wall these aircraft use “Silent Sound” “in which radio-frequency broadcasts carry subliminal patterns that entrain the listener's brainwaves into a pre-selected emotional state. According to ITV wire service reports, this technology was used during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, as part of the US Psychological Operations (PsyOps) directed against Iraqi troops.”

In an article by Wayne Specht of Stars and Stripes from 2001, “Taliban soldiers who hear voices from the skies over Afghanistan may think it’s divine intervention. The Department of Defense would like them to see it that way.” The motto of the crews flying these missions is “electrons, not bullets”. Stars and Stripes The article goes on to state that “more than a dozen messages are beamed into Afghanistan for five hours each morning and five hours each evening by Commando Solo aircrews.”

Interestingly enough, photos of these aircraft look suspiciously like the innumerable photos of planes on the Internet leaving trails across our skies. We understand that our own military admits to conducting psychological operations on our enemies, so why do we insist that they would be incapable of performing the same type of program on us? It has been said that the battle begins and ends in the mind and many of us don’t comprehend that the war has begun.

They Must Be Lying - I Saw It On TV
Frozen Moments at the Altar of Truth



'Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.'' - Michael Rivero



It all started for me in 1959 when I was born, I mean the way I've been lied to through mainstream media. One of my earliest memories was sitting in front of the TV with my family after JFK was assassinated. My mother and grandmother weeping uncontrollably, my father and grandfather - avowing that this was a "good man" and it's "always the best who get taken so young". I had no idea what was going on, being just four and a half years old - but that moment solidified like crystal in my mind - my first big "frozen moment".

A few short years later we were all sitting there again in front of the TV at 3am watching Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, uttering those prophetic words. I'll never forget the neighbour beside us, this old Italian guy who was saying that the entire lunar mission had to be a hoax, we were a bunch of suckers for believing it, it couldn't be true. Everybody I knew thought he was nuts, myself included. I was busy having my head filled with such grand thoughts about the nobility and goodness of mankind, and like my family and almost all my neighbours, I was once again willing to believe in my heart that whatever these icons of the public trust on TV told us was the absolute truth - after all, these were the same folks who gave us the news every night, every single evening around the dinner hour, so we could find out what's happening in the world, what to think about, how to judge those people over there, over here, anywhere. I'll never forget how proud I was watching man walk on the moon, my 10 year old heart bursting out of my chest, feeling so lucky to be alive at that time and watching it on TV. This was a huge "frozen moment".

There are other mental snapshots which of course remain quite vivid in my mind. Robert Kennedy & Martin Luther King assassinations, the war in Vietnam that spanned my entire childhood, the Nixon Watergate hearings, Iran Contra. It could not enter our mind that anything we saw on television could be any less than the gospel truth, because we live in the Western hemisphere, the best, most noble hemisphere on this planet. Just ask Walter Cronkite, or Dan Rather, or Ronald McDonald, or Barney the Friggin' Dinosaur - any talking head that props up in a medium shot while occupying the standard 4 by 3 aspect ratio, mind-inhibiting confines of this ribald human invention. They must be telling the truth - gotta be real, after all, "I saw it on TV".

Blair tipped for EU presidency


Saturday, 16 Jun 2007 13:10
Tony Blair quits Downing Street on June 27th Outgoing prime minister Tony Blair would make an ideal candidate to become the European Union's (EU) first full-time president, according to the reported view of new French leader Nicolas Sarkozy.

An article in the Financial Times, citing German diplomats, claims that France's president has already touted Mr Blair for the job during discussions with Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel.

The paper claims EU officials have also revealed that Mr Sarkozy has broached the matter elsewhere within Europe.

EU leaders, who are due to meet in the German capital Berlin for a summit next week, are currently considering plans to create a new president of the European Council.

If endorsed, the role would provide a permanent replacement for the EU's rotating presidency, which currently changes every six months.

Although the proposed EU president would have few formal powers, it is envisaged that such an individual would provide strategic leadership to the bloc's 27-member states and represent them internationally on key issues such as global warming.

But as EU leaders prepare to negotiate a new European treaty, Downing Street has insisted that Mr Blair has no interest in assuming such a high-profile role once he leaves office on June 27th.

"The prime minister has made it clear that he is not going to return to frontline politics," a No 10 spokeswoman, quoted by the Press Association, said.

Mr Blair's decision to take Britain to war in Iraq, his close relationship with US president George Bush and his failure to sign the UK up to the single currency could make him a potentially divisive figure for the job in any event.

Croatian priest arrested on pedophile charge


June 16, 2007 6:44 AM

ZAGREB, Croatia-A priest from a small Croatian island has been detained on suspicion of abusing five boys aged between 10 and 12, the second such case in recent years in the predominantly Roman Catholic Croatia, police said Thursday.

Drago Ljubicic, 63, who served on the northern island of Rab, was detained Wednesday evening on charges of performing "lecherous acts" on five children, police said in a statement.

The case has shocked Croatia, where nearly 90 percent of the country's 4.5 million people consider themselves Catholics and the church enjoys wide government and popular support.

The spokesman for the regional diocese, Danijel Delonga, said the church would take appropriate measures against Ljubicic if the suspicions are confirmed. "Such acts are shameless treason of a priest's vocation," he said.

Ljubicic's case in the second case of alleged pedophilia among priests in Croatia. In 2003, a priest from Zagreb was sentenced to one year and nine months in prison for abusing 13 girls. His sentence was later reduced to three months on probation, a ruling critics said showed the judiciary's reluctance to go against the church.
