Homeless-Penn_Station_NYCStates of emergency in major US cities over homeless crisis – from PressTV.ir – “The cities of Portland, Oregon; Denver, Colorado; and Seattle, Washington as well as the entire state of Hawaii have become the latest to take drastic measures to fight the crisis… ‘We know that we have many individuals and families in Hawaii that are homeless, not only during the holiday season but year ’round,’ said Scott Morishige, the Hawaii governor’s coordinator on homelessness. ‘We’re committed to being able to respond to that need.’.. Los Angeles has yet to declare its own state of emergency, but campaigners describe its current condition as “the worst man-made disaster in the US.”.. The largest increase in homelessness was in Washington, DC, the nation’s capital, where the number of people experiencing homelessness rose by 28 percent and the number of homeless families went up by 60 percent.”

John_CarlinObama’s Four-Point Gun Confiscation Plan – by Dave Hodges, TheDailySheeple.com – “Then there is the X-factor: Does anyone else wonder why this administration is so determined to end the private ownership of guns when it has been clearly established that those areas who have the most stringent gun control (e.g. New York, Chicago, and Washington DC) also have the highest gun violence and homicide rates?.. What will this administration do once they have all of our guns? What are trying to accomplish?.. Washington (CNN) ‘Domestic terror groups pose a greater threat to America than ISIS or al Qaeda,’ a Justice Department official (i.e John Carlin) said Wednesday… To help combat them, the department has created a new counsel that will coordinate the investigation andprosecution of anti-government and hate groups”. (Editor’s note: It is legal to be anti-government in one’s speech and this attitude does not imply the subsequent use of violence)… Please take note of the use of the strategy often referred to as incrementalism. Carlin vilifies groups that most Americans do not approve of (e.g. the KKK, overt practices of racism, acts of violence etc.). However, Carlin slips into his rhetoric that anyone that characterizes any person harboring any expressed anti-government views, as a domestic terrorist. This is a thinly veiled attempt to end all criticism of the government and government officials.” (emph. added)

Loretta_Lynch2International Program to “end Domestic Terrorism”Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch Announces the Launch of the Strong Cities Network at the United Nations General Assembly – from Justice.gov – September 29, 2015 – Remarks as prepared for delivery – “It is clear that the challenge of building resilience against violent extremism – a challenge that spans vast oceans and borders while impacting our most tightly-knit cities and towns – requires a response that is both wide-ranging and highly focused. National governments have a crucial role to play in ensuring the safety and security of the nations they serve – and here in the United States, it is our highest priority…By connecting municipal leaders, facilitating information-sharing and providing training and other assistance where appropriate, the Strong Cities Network will help to fashion a global response to a global issue, without losing sight of its inherently local roots. It will offer city leaders a way to learn from one another about successful initiatives and productive programs… At this time, I would like to turn things over to Sasha Havlicek, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.” (emph. added – see below)

Sasha_HavlicekThe Institute for Strategic Dialogue – History – from StrategicDialogue.org – ” The Club of Three, established in the mid-1990s at the initiative of Lord Weidenfeld, brings together leading figures from business and politics… In 2006 the Club of Three embarked on a significant transition process with the establishment of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, created to serve as an umbrella-organisation that would implement the Club of Three and its various offshoots.” – from Lord Weidenfeld’s Bio: “Born in Vienna in 1919, Lord Weidenfeld left Austria for England in 1938. During World War II he worked with the BBC Overseas Service and in 1948 founded the publishing firm, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, with Nigel Nicolson. In 1949 he became Political Advisor and Chef de Cabinet in Israel to President Weizmann, and spent a year in this capacity… In 1996 he founded, together with Lord Rothschild and Lord Alexander, the Club of Three (Britain-France-Germany), which later incorporated AMEURUS (America-Europe-Russia). His Institute for Strategic Dialogue was created in 2006.” (emph. added)

Love Thy Enemy? US Plot to Evacuate Top Jihadis From Ramadi Uncovered – from SputnikNews.com – “An Iraqi volunteer forces commander has revealed US plans to evacuate Daesh (ISIL/ISIS) leaders from the central Iraqi city of Ramadi, according to the Iranian news agency FARS… The disclosure comes as the Iraqi army and popular troops are attempting to secure victory over the jihadist group in Ramadi… FARS quoted Imam Khamenei Battalion Commander Haidar al-Hosseini al-Ardavi as saying that ‘the delay in operations to liberate the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah in Anbar province has been the result of US interference.’ “

Euro_NotesJanuary 1, 2016: The New Bank Bail-In System Goes Into Effect In Europe – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – “If you have a bank account anywhere in Europe, you need to read this article. On January 1st, 2016, a new bail-in system will go into effect for all European banks. This new system is based on the Cyprus bank bail-ins that we witnessed a few years ago. If you will remember, money was grabbed from anyone that had more than 100,000 euros in their bank accounts in order to bail out the banks. Now the exact same principles that were used in Cyprus are going to apply to all of Europe. And with the entire global financial system teetering on the brink of chaos, that is not good news for those that have large amounts of money stashed in shaky European banks… And as we have seen in the past, these rules can change overnight in the midst of a major crisis… So they may be promising that those with under 100,000 euros will be safe right now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be true.”

How C. S. Lewis Predicted Today’s College Campus Craziness—in 1944 – by Tyler O’Neil, PJMedia.com – “Haidt and Lukianoff cite Harvard Law Professor Jeannie Suk, who wrote in The New Yorker about law students demanding their professors not even teach rape law — and in one weird case even to avoid using the word “violate” (as in “that violates the law”)… As Haidt and Lukianoff explain, ‘a claim that someone’s words are ‘offensive’ is not just an expression of one’s own subjective feelings of offendedness. It is, rather, a public charge that the speaker has done something objectively wrong.’.. The idea of “microaggressions” — small actions or word choices that seem to have no malicious intent but are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless — twists the objective idea of being “offensive” into a subjective charge on behalf of someone claiming to be offended… The “vindictive protectiveness” on college campuses may trample on free speech or the pursuit of truth, but it does so in the name of conscience, which warns people not to harm others. This morality is not, strictly speaking, a new morality, but a twisted form of the original. It is not amoral or evil, but warped and mistaken.”

Dr_Carrol_Frazier_LandrumMedical Mafia threatens to take doctor’s license to punish his charitable service – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “So it makes sense that Americans who live in these poverty-stricken regions value everything they do have, and that is especially true of medical care — any medical care… Such is the case in Edwards, Miss., a small town of about 1,300 in the east-central portion of the state. There, 88-year-old Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum will see you for medical care, even if you don’t have a penny to your name… for the past two years the good country doctor has been practicing and working without an office. He says that’s no big deal, though, because he’s happy to meet patients wherever they are. Sometimes that is in their homes, sometimes a parking lot. Others will meet Landrum on the side of a quiet country highway, or even inside his 2007 Toyota Camry… The location doesn’t matter because Landrum, a World War II veteran who has been in private practice for more than 55 years, believes it’s his duty to help anyone who calls on him.”

Sheikh_Sultan_Al_NahyanThe Mystery Of Dubai’s Vaporized Gold: The Plot Thickens – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “And if indeed this crazy story which has every possible James Bond element in it culminates with a case of scapegoating, does that immediately mean that Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa, a person at the top of the Gulf’s political and financial oligarchy, is involved. Because if he is, so is the US, as nothing happens in Abu Dhabi without the United States being aware of it. Finally, if that is the case, it means that not only did the US sanction what has been the world’s biggest gold smuggling ring, but that it implicitly gave Iran its blessing to use barterable Turkish gold in order to bypass sanctions imposed by… the United States!.. In the next installment of this action and mystery-packed series, we hope to uncover just what the role of the “developed” countries was in this massive smuggling operation, and perhaps even more importantly, where did Turkey end up buying hundreds of tons of gold which it subsequently sold to Iran and where did the Iranian gold ultimately end up?

California Laws: On January 1st, Students Won’t Have to Pass High School to Receive Diploma (also, Californians can file for an injunction against family members “who might commit gun violence” from owning a gun)by William Bigelow, Breitbart.com – “On January 1, California residents will have to accustom themselves to a number of new laws that will be implemented in the state. These are some the laws that will likely have the most profound effect…”

Pentagon Stunned As Thousands Of Chinese Troops Enter ISIS War – by Sean Adl-Tabatabai and WhatDoesItMean.com via YourNewsWire.com – ” ‘The “Siberian Tiger’ Special Forces and “Night Tiger” Special Forces Units were given authorization to be deployed by China’s People’s Congress (NPC) on Sunday, after China passed its first anti-terrorism law allowing their army to take part in anti-terror missions abroad… Most critical to China in entering this war, this report continues, is the “grave” national security threat it faces from both the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) and Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT)—and as, perhaps, best described by the noted award winning American military-intelligence journalist Seymour M. Hersh who in his latest article warned of this threat by stating: ‘China, an ally of [Syrian leader] Assad has committed more than $30 billion to postwar reconstruction in Syria. China, too, is worried about the Islamic State. China regards the Syrian crisis from three perspectives: international law and legitimacy; global strategic positioning; and the activities of jihadist Uighurs, from Xinjiang province in China’s far west.’.. Xinjiang borders eight nations – Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India – and, in China’s view, serves as a funnel for terrorism around the world and within China.”

Obama administration prepares raids on Central American immigrants – by Patrick Martin, WSWS.org – “It would be the first ever program of mass deportations to target Central American refugees specifically. Most are women and children who have sought to escape gang attacks, drug-related violence and brutality by US-backed security services in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador (Is that true? There has been documentation that U.S. connected “NGO’s” have been recruiting children in Central America for buses to the U.S.)… Raids are expected in Houston, New Orleans, Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, which have the largest concentrations of Central American immigrants. Other cities are likely to be targeted as well… The DHS has begun adding capacity to handle increased detentions during the raids, since those arrested will be held in federal facilities in the days preceding their deportation. The agency recently opened two new “shelters”—actually detention centers—in Texas, one with 700 beds and the other with 300 beds. A third, 400-bed facility is being readied in California as well.” (emph. added)

Nimr_al-NimrSaudi Arabia executes prominent Shiite cleric and 46 others in 12 cities – b

No Crime. No Trial. No Reason: The Precedent Is Set for Gun Confiscations – by Joshua Krause, TheDailySheeple.com – “And that’s why banning gun ownership for individuals on the no fly list should frighten gun owners. It creates a situation where you don’t have to do anything criminal to lose your rights. The government could determine any benign behavior to be a sign of terrorism, and promptly take your firearms. For all practical purposes, the Second Amendment would be dead… However, it’s important to remember that the no fly list ban isn’t alone. California recently passed a law that, while appearing unrelated to the no fly list proposal, is actually operating with the same logic and intent: AB1014 was passed last year in the wake of 2014’s Isla Vista shooting, where teenager Elliot Rodger went on a rampage near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, killing six people along with himself… …Under the law, the factors a judge can consider in granting the restraining order include not only threats of violence, but also prior felony arrests (even without a conviction), evidence of alcohol abuse, and even the simple act of recently purchasing a gun or ammunition. (emph. added)

ISIS-SurrenderingRussia Vindicated by Terrorist Surrenders in Syria – by Finian Cunningham, Strategic-Culture.org – “The British state-owned broadcaster tells of hundreds of «fighters» being relocated from the town of Zabadani as if the development just magically materialized like a present donated by Santa Claus. What the BBC fails to inform is that that truce, as with several others around Damascus, has come about because of Russia’s strategic military intervention in Syria dealing crushing blows against the militant networks. The Western media have preoccupied themselves instead with claims from the US State Department that Russia’s military operations have either been propping up the «Assad regime» or allegedly targeting «moderate rebels» and civilians… The disingenuous Western narrative, or more prosaically «propaganda», then, in turn, creates a conundrum when widespread truces and evacuations are being implemented. That obviously positive development signaling an end to conflict thanks to Russia’s military intervention has to be left unexplained or unacknowledged by the Western media because it negates all their previous pejorative narrative towards Russia and the Assad government… Furthermore, the Western media are obliged to be coy about the exact identity of the «fighters» being evacuated. As noted already, the militants are variously described by the Western media in sanitized terms as «fighters» or «rebels». But more informative regional and local sources, such as Lebanon’s Al Manar, identify the brigades as belonging to the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State group and al-Nusra Front. These are terror groups, as even defined by Washington and the European Union. So, the Western media has to, by necessity, censor itself from telling the truth by peddling half-truths and sly omissions.”

Schizophrenia at the UN: “The Post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda”, No More Poverty, No More War… – by Carla Stea, GlobalResearch.ca – “These 17 ambitious goals, if achieved, would lead to a paradise on earth. However, there is an elephant in the room that the architects of these post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals are ignoring, and which will, if left unaddressed, prevent the attainment of these goals. Under the section entitled: “Means of Implementation and the Global Partnership,” is stated: ‘5. We note the critical importance of private finance and we call on businesses to apply their creativity and innovation to engage as partners in the development process.’.. The document enumerates resources for achievement of these post 2015 Development Goals, which include, vaguely worded, ‘domestic public resources, private business, philanthropists and foundations, parliaments, local authorities and other stakeholders, etc.’.. These enumerated “resources” for implementation of these development goals are disparate and not necessarily reliable or adequate sources of financing for implementation of this new Post-2015 Development Agenda.” – And this is not to even begin to talk about the deceptive and manipulative nature of this process of “Saving the Planet.” There are even more goals now (17) to be reached than there were in 2015 (11). This is beyond a scam.

Obama-Putin-Lets_ShakeVladimir Putin Fights the War Party on All Fronts – by Pepe Escobar, TelesurTV.net – “The fight to the death in Moscow’s inner circles is really between the Eurasianists and the so-called Atlantic integrationists, a.k.a. the Western fifth column. The crux of the battle is arguably the Russian Central Bank and the Finance Ministry – where some key liberalcon monetarist players are remote-controlled by the usual suspects, the Masters of the Universe… The same mechanism applies, geopolitically, to any side, in any latitude, which has linked its own fiat money to Western central banks. The Masters of the Universe always seek to exercise hegemony by manipulating usury and fiat money control… So why President Putin does not fire the head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiulina, and a great deal of his financial team – as they keep buying U.S. bonds and propping up the U.S. dollar instead of the ruble? What’s really being aggressed here if not Russian interests?”

Moscow extends sanctions against Turkey – from PressTV.ir – “The decree, signed on Monday, is to implement unenforced sanctions initially imposed on Turkey on November 28 together with a set of new measures to come into force as of January 1, 2016… The sanctions included a ban on the employment of Turkish citizens by Russian employers, restricted imports of certain Turkish goods such as vegetables and fruits, ban on charter flights between the two countries and also suspension of travel package sale to Turkey… According to the new presidential order, there will be a ban imposed on the operations of several organizations under the jurisdiction of Turkey as well as a limitation of Turkish organizations’ activities in Russia.”

Ellen_BrownA Crisis Worse Than ISIS? Bail-Ins Begin – by Ellen Brown, TruthOut.org – “For some inexplicable reason, the hard-earned money you deposit in the bank is not considered “security” or “collateral.” It is just a loan to the bank, and you must stand in line along with the other creditors in hopes of getting it back. State and local governments must also stand in line, although their deposits are considered “secured,” since they remain junior to the derivative claims with “super-priority.”.. Under the old liquidation rules, an insolvent bank was actually “liquidated” – its assets were sold off to repay depositors and creditors. Under an “orderly resolution,” the accounts of depositors and creditors are emptied to keep the insolvent bank in business. The point of an “orderly resolution” is not to make depositors and creditors whole but to prevent another system-wide “disorderly resolution” of the sort that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The concern is that pulling a few of the dominoes from the fragile edifice that is our derivatives-laden global banking system will collapse the entire scheme. The sufferings of depositors and investors are just the sacrifices to be borne to maintain this highly lucrative edifice.”

Ukraine Cuts Power To Crimea Again, Citing Faulty Equipment – from RFERL.org (Radio Free Europe) – “Kirill Moskalenko, a spokesman for the governor of Sevastopol city, said on December 31 that Ukraine had cut off the Kakhovka-Titan line to Crimea… ‘The line has supplied the peninsula with 250 megawatts. Due to the lack of power supply, Sevastopol is receiving 150 megawatts instead of 195 megawatts,’ Moskalenko said… The Ukrainian operator of the power grid, Ukrenergo, said it shut down the Kakhovka-Titan line because some protective equipment came off in the town of Kakhovka, the TASS news agency reported… Kakhovka-Titan had been the only functioning overhead high-voltage transmission line out of four lines that Ukrenergo used to deliver electricity to customers in Crimea before the end of November… Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014 (is that true?), needs around 1 gigawatt of power to keep the lights on.”

Sacramento_Camping_Ban_ProtestersPolice In Riot Gear Arrest Homeless Protesters For Camping In Front Of City Hall – by John Vibes, ActivistPost.com – “This Friday, police invaded the encampment in riot gear and made several arrests… ‘It’s unfortunate that they wasted a lot of taxpayers’ money – riot gear, overtime,’ protest organizer James Clark said… ‘They’re telling people they can’t have sleeping bags to keep themselves warm,’ he added… Traci Trapani of the Sacramento Police Department said that protesters were arrested for illegal camping and resisting arrest… ‘It wasn’t a quick just ‘arresting people’ type of thing. It’s been percolating for weeks,’ she said… The protesters were accused of having “camping paraphernalia”… Representatives from the city government have stated throughout the protest that they have no intention of changing or repealing the laws against urban camping.”

NSA Blowback—Netanyahu and NWO Agents Are Swimming in Flocks of Dodos – by Jonas E. Alexis, VeteransToday.com – “So, according to the Neoconservative worldview, spying on virtually everyone (except the state of Israel) for the sake of “national security” is right. But that promiscuous thesis has fallen on hard time. It has recently been reported that the NSA has been used to spy on some of its creators, namely, the Zionist regime in Israel. How did the Neocons and their puppets respond?.. Well, you know the drill. They told us that it is wrong, always, everywhere, and for anyone, to use the NSA to spy on foreign potentates like Benjamin Netanyahu. We are also told that the Obama administration has committed an unpardonable sin, even though it was reported that Netanyahu himself spied on the Iran talks.[16] Jewish Neocon Jonathan S. Tobin has said that Obama “crosses a line of spying.”[17] Ben Carson—bless his heart—has called it: ‘truly disgraceful. Instead of focusing on deterring the Iran nuclear threat and fighting against the Mullahs who chant ‘Death to America,’ President Obama has treated Israel, our staunch, democratic ally in the Middle East, as his real enemy.’ “

Zahran_Allouch2Surreal: West Mourns Death of Al Qaeda Collaborator in Syrian Airstrike – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “The commander of terrorist organization and Al Qaeda affiliate Jaysh al-Islam (the Army of Islam), “Sheikh” Zahran Alloush, was killed in a Syrian airstrike this week in the suburbs of Damascus… In a surreal, coordinated propaganda campaign, the Western media sidestepped Alloush’s praise of and coordination with US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra, previously known as Al Qaeda in Iraq – and indeed, the very terrorist organization that the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) itself sprung up from… Clearly, Jaysh al-Islam’s praise of and coordination with al-Nusra constitutes, ‘knowingly providing, or attempting or conspiring to provide, material support or resources to, or engaging in transactions with, al-Nusrah Front.’.. That none of this is mentioned in the weepy eulogies of Alloush in the wake of a Syrian airstrike should trouble the millions of Americans and Europeans who have been convinced for over a decade that Al Qaeda is their enemy and that the constant state of war imposed upon them to battle Al Qaeda and those that would aid and abet it, is an existential necessity.”

For the week of 12/21/15:

EU Army Plans Allow German Soldiers To Take Control Of Borders Without Consent Of National Governments – by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart.com – “The paper likens the idea of primarily German soldiers seizing power across Europe to the Second World War. Bruno Waterfield and Francis Elliott report: ‘The force, wearing blue armbands and an EU and agency insignia, would be equipped with naval patrol vessels, helicopters and drones, according to plans tabled yesterday by Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president’… Almost 18 months ago, UKIP’s leader, Nigel Farage, warned of the plans for an EU army in a big, pre-European Parliamentary Elections debate with then Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg… Mr. Clegg lost both televised debates in 2014, notably calling Mr. Farage’s warning a “dangerous fantasy”. He said: ‘The idea there’s going to be a European air force, a European army, it is simply not true. This is a dangerous fantasy… it is not going to happen.’.. The Times also reports that a major European summit, due to be dominated by UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s “renegotiation” demands to halt a British exit from the EU, will instead now focus on the plans for the EU army.”

Vaccines’ Dark Inferno: What Is Not on Insert Labels? – by Gary Null, PhD and Richard Gale, GreenMedInfo.com – “It was reconfirmed that vaccines are ‘widely contaminated by viral and DNA genetic code fragments, many viruses and proteins.’ There was expressed concern that these may also contain prions (tiny proteins responsible for incurable diseases and neurological disorders in both humans and animals) and oncogenes (a gene that turns normal cells into cancerous ones). One attendee, Dr. Goldberg, stated, ‘There are countless thousands of undiscovered viruses, proteins and similar particles. We have only identified a very small part of the microbial world – and we can only test for those we have identified. Thus the vaccine cultures could contain many unknown particles.’.. Dr. Andrew Lewis of the FDA said that a brand-new monkey-human mutant virus was created during the course of developing an adenovirus vaccine with adenvovirus-SV40 hybrid viruses. Dr. Lewis also worried that “foreign cellular DNA” common in childhood vaccines could include “viral oncogenes” capable of causing cancer… The scientists presented a question to themselves as to whether an attenuated vaccine strain could revert into a variant virus capable of replicating so fast that it would cause AIDS. They agreed that they were unable to answer this question… On the question of whether mutation events could occur in children after vaccination, the answer was: ‘Recombination among a variety of viruses [contaminant viruses] and cells co-infected in tissue culture is not uncommon.’ What this basically means is that because it is “not uncommon” for genetic codes of both contaminant viruses and living cells to recombine and create mutations in laboratory cultures, this can certainly occur in a child’s body after vaccination.’ (emph. added)

Kerry-I_contradict‘US not after regime change in Syria, but Assad must go’ – Kerry to Russian TV – from RT.com – “According to the Secretary of State, it was very important for the Russian people to understand the American approach to the Syrian crisis… ‘We are not trying to do a regime change. We are not engaged in a color revolution. We’re not engaged in trying to interfere in another country … We’re trying to make peace,’ he explained… ‘Russia can’t stop the war with Assad there because Assad attracts the foreign fighters. Assad is a magnet for terrorists, because they’re coming to fight Assad,’ he said… ‘So if you want to stop the war in Syria, and we do, if you want to fight Daesh and stop the growth of terrorism, you have to deal with the problem of Assad. Now, that doesn’t mean we want to change every aspect of the government; we don’t,’ the diplomat added… The US Secretary of State also said he did not rule out the possibility of Syrian government forces loyal to Assad being viewed by Washington as a viable part of the operation against IS terrorists… ‘Absolutely,’ he said when addressed on the issue, ‘providing there is a legitimate transitional process, which the Geneva communique calls for, with a government of transition, where the opposition is part of the government and the issue of Assad will be resolved through that process and people have confidence in that.’.. ‘Under those circumstances, it is possible to envision the army of Syria, together with the opposition, turning against Daesh, providing Assad is not the long-term future of Syria,’ Kerry added.

Wave of migrant children has Texas towns scrambling to set up housing – by Matthew Teague, TheGuardian.com – “Residents in the town north-east of Dallas may not welcome the federal government’s last-minute announcement that they will place a facility in their town, but they are receiving the displaced children as warmly, and quickly, as they can… ‘A lady called me from Ohio and chewed me up, called me treasonous, everything,’ said Eddie Walker, who owns the Sabine Creek ranch camp, where hundreds of children arrived Saturday. ‘But locally the response has been almost all positive. (Note: Is that true? How does he know?) People want to help.’.. In October and November, more than 10,000 unaccompanied minors crossed the border through Mexico, more than twice as many as the same months last year. As a result US detention centers have overflowed, and the government is building temporary shelters… Towns selected for shelters in Texas and California are finding out sometimes a couple days in advance, and residents are scrambling to understand what impact the centers will have.” (emph. added)

Obama’s National Address*- (*Edited for Accuracy) 2min 29

https://youtu.be/OsdWwLvSRa4

Syria: The break for the border – by Pepe Escobar, RT.com – “The current shadow play – which includes the deployment of US Special Forces to northern Syria – opens the possibility that Turks and Americans are about to launch a major offensive to expel Islamic State from the crucial Jarabulus crossroads. Erdogan’s pretext is well known: to block by any means the attempt by YPG Syrian Kurds to unite their three cantons in northern Syria. In this corridor, Erdogan wants to install a dodgy, hazy bunch of Turkmen – his proxies – mixed with unspecified Sunni “moderate rebels,” keeping all lines of communication (and smuggling) with Turkey open… Syrian Kurds, on the other hand, want to get there first. With American air support. And with Russian air support. This is one of the few things Team Obama and the Kremlin do agree on in Syria – to the absolute despair of the Sultan. The inside word from Ankara is that Turkey would be ready for a ground push on Jarabulus but only under American cover. Quite absurd, considering Washington and Ankara hardly are looking for the same endgame.”

Assad_Must_GoNeocons Object to Syrian Democracy – by Robert Parry, ConsortiumNews.com – “…in a furious editorial on Friday, the Post castigated Secretary of State John Kerry for saying – after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow – that the Obama administration and Russia see the political solution to Syria “in fundamentally the same way,” meaning that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could stand for election in the future… The Post wrote: “Unfortunately, that increasingly appears to be the case — and not because Mr. Putin has altered his position. For four years, President Obama demanded the departure of Mr. Assad, who has killed hundreds of thousands of his own people with chemical weapons, ‘barrel bombs,’ torture and other hideous acts. Yet in its zeal to come to terms with Mr. Putin, the Obama administration has been slowly retreating from that position.”

Darth_StateThe Plot of Star Wars Frighteningly Resembles Modern Day America – by Dan Sanchez, ActivistPost.com – “All the steps in the Dark Lord’s rise to total power were enabled by the crises of wars that he himself engineered. The overriding theme of the first trilogy is that the star wars engendered galactic tyranny. This is a perfectly realistic narrative motif, because it is merely an interstellar extrapolation of Randolph Bourne’s insight that war is the health of the State. The emergency-propelled rise of the Sith also fits with Robert Higgs’s broader insight that crisis is the health of Leviathan… Indeed, throughout history, rulers, regimes, and power cliques (just like Sidious and the Sith) have dragged their countries into wars in order to acquire, shore up, and enhance their power. This power play almost always works, because war activates in indoctrinated adherents of a State what Randolph Bourne called the “herd mind”: a sort of statist Protocol 66… Terrorized by the menaces of war, and aroused by its prizes, State citizens react like a spooked herd or a ravenous pack. They become as docile as sheep or dogs (or Sith-bred clones) to their shepherds and masters in government, swarming to their feet and granting them sweeping emergency authority, just as the war-spooked Galactic Senate repeatedly empowered Palpatine. They yield their liberties, even to the point of renouncing their individuality (like how the imperial troopers were all clones of a single man).”

Eureka-The_MarshThese 15 Cities Are Destroying Homeless Camps Just Days Before Christmas – Cities across the country are waging an unprecedented war against the homeless – by Tom Cahill, USUnCut.com – “Christmas is normally known as the time of year when Americans try to be a little more giving, more compassionate, and more altruistic than during the other 11 1/2 months of the year. But in cities across the US, many are simply fighting for the right to exist in hastily-constructed homeless camps. The National Alliance to End Homelessness reports that on any given night, there are over 578,000 Americans sleeping on the streets. At the same time, there are at least 10 million vacant homes across America that are lying empty… Here are 15 cities that are going above and beyond to push the most vulnerable Americans out of the public eye during the most compassionate time of the year…”

Turkey ‘officially acknowledges’ attack on Su-24 was a planned step – Russian MoD – from RT.com – “The statement recently made by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus in which he provides information on Russian sorties in Syria, ‘can be regarded as official acknowledgment by Turkey that the operation to destroy the Russian jet in Syria and kill Russian soldiers was a planned step,’ he said… Ankara’s awareness of Russian military operations in Syria confirms that all intelligence given to the US under the memorandum signed between the two countries and regulating the operations of their air forces in Syria was passed to the Turkish General Staff, he added… Speaking about the report published on Wednesday by Amnesty International, Konashenkov said it includes no facts, only “clichés” and groundless accusations… The NGO’s report accused Russia of failing to acknowledge it carried out strikes that ‘killed hundreds of civilians and caused massive destruction in residential areas.’ The report was based on eyewitness testimonies and videos “showing the aftermath of the attacks,” the human rights group said… Konashenkov said there is nothing new in the report and the most striking thing are the words “seem” and “appear,” which are used to describe the reports of the so-called “Russian attacks.” ”

Chem-SunsetCui Bono? New Manhattan Chemtrail Project Motives – by Peter Kirby, ActivistPost.com – “If you do not know what the New Manhattan Project is, please refer to the author’s previous work “Chemtrails Exposed: A History of the New Manhattan Project.”.. It is incredibly bold to routinely dump megatons of toxic metals into our atmosphere. Committing crimes of this magnitude, openly in the sky above us, could very well lead to new Nuremberg trials. Considering the level of risk involved, what might be the rewards for these outrageous crimes against Humanity?.. For the worldly, the potential rewards are great… Weather’s effect upon business activity has been studied extensively at the highest levels since at least the mid-1950s. In 1971, an organization called Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) was created within the National Science Foundation to study the economic benefits of weather modification. The weather modification literature is replete with examples of favorable cost-to-benefit ratios.”

Unstoppable California Gas Leak Being Called Worst Catastrophe Since BP Spill – from HealthFreedoms.org – “This methane disaster is worse than can be sufficiently described in words, because while it’s estimated well over 100,000 pounds of methane spew into the atmosphere every hour, the leak can’t be halted, at least until spring. Even then, that stoppage depends entirely on the efficacy of a proposed fix — which remains a dubiously open question… ‘The enormity of the Aliso Canyon gas leak cannot be overstated. Gas is escaping through a ruptured pipe more than 8,000 feet underground, and it shows no signs of stopping. As the pressure from the weight on top of the pipe causes the gas to diffuse, it only continues to dissipate across a wider and wider area,’ explained Erin Brockovich, who spent time in nearby Porter Ranch investigating the leak… Thousands of households have evacuated the area, despite little help, much less information, from the gas company about when they might be able to return. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, SoCalGas spokesperson Michael Mizrahi claimed the company had paid to relocate and house 2,092 households — but that effort is severely lacking, says Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer… On Thursday, Los Angeles Unified School District board members voted unanimously to close two Porter Ranch schools and relocate their 1,900 students and staff to different locations for the foreseeable future. A local emergency has been declared by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.”

Saudi-Father_n_SonThe Coming Saudi Crack-up? – by Daniel Lazare, ConsortiumNews.com – “The reason is an unprecedented avalanche of problems pouring down on Saudi Arabia since 79-year-old Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud assumed the throne last January. A hardliner in contrast to his vaguely reformist predecessor Abdullah, Salman lost no time in letting the world know that a new sheriff was in town. He upped the number of public executions, which, at 151, are now running at nearly double last year’s rate… After meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, he promised to intensify efforts to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by increasing aid to Al Nusra, Al Qaeda’s official Syrian affiliate. A few weeks later, he assembled a coalition of nine Sunni Arab states to launch nightly bombing raids on Yemen, quickly reducing one of the poorest countries in the Middle East to ruin… But if Salman thought such actions would win him respect, he was wrong. Instead, the result has been a steady drum beat of negative publicity as the world awakes to the fact that, with its public beheadings and barbaric treatment of women, the Islamic state headed by the House of Saud is little different from the Islamic State headed by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in northern Syria and Iraq.”

TSA Quietly Moves to Make Body Scanners Mandatory – by Joshua Krause, ActivistPost.com – “The DHS hasn’t explained what conditions would prompt their agents to force you into the scanner, which is awfully convenient. I suppose if they wanted to, they could just force everybody to get scanned, which is probably what this policy change will eventually lead to. The TSA is, after all, notoriously bad at catching terrorists (as are these machines). Their real job is to acclimate the population to be more obedient, and that means periodically introducing new rights violations in small, unnoticeable increments.”

Pepe EscobarHappy Holidays!: Empire of Chaos Preparing For More Fireworks in 2016 – by Pepe Escobar, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Only six decades later, it’s clear there won’t be an American Silk Road in the 21st century, but rather, just like its ancient predecessor, a Chinese one. Beijing’s push for what it calls “One Belt, One Road” is inbuilt in the 21st century conflict between the declining empire and Eurasia integration. Key subplots include perennial NATO expansion and the empire’s obsession in creating a war zone out of the South China Sea… As the Beijing-Moscow strategic partnership analyses it, the oligarchic elites who really run the Empire of Chaos are bent on the encirclement of Eurasia – considering they may be largely excluded from an integration process based on trade, commerce and advanced communication links… Beijing and Moscow clearly identify provocation after provocation, coupled with relentless demonization. But they won’t be trapped, as they’re both playing a very long game.”

Wiretapped calls reveal communication between Turkish officers and ISIS – report – from RT.com – “The wiretapping reportedly took place last year as part of an investigation into six missing Turkish citizens, the Cumhuriyet reported. The relatives of those missing believed they might have joined the ranks of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants… An investigation was launched into as many as 27 suspects, some of them in Syria, the report revealed… The Chief Prosecutor’s office reportedly received permission to wiretap the phones of 19 people who were thought to have put the six missing persons in touch with Islamic State. The investigation reportedly revealed that those who wanted to join IS ranks received some form of “ideological training.”.. The file on the investigation is said to have been handed over to the Military Prosecutor’s office in March, after the Ankara Prosecutor’s office deemed the issue outside of its jurisdiction, according to the Turkish newspaper.”

Russian intel spots 12,000 oil tankers & trucks on Turkey-Iraq border – General Staff – from RT.com – ” ‘It must be noted that oil from both Iraq and Syria come through this [Zakho] checkpoint’ General Rudskoy said… Heavy-duty trucks loaded with oil continue to cross the Turkish-Syrian border as well, Rudskoy said. At the same time, the number of tankers on the northern and western routes used for transporting oil from Syria is declining, the general added… ‘According to satellite data, the number of oil tankers moving through the ‘northern route’ towards the refinery in the [Turkish] city of Batman has considerably diminished,’ Rudskoy said, adding that the number of tankers using the ‘western route,’ between the Turkish cities of Reyhanli [on the Syrian border] and the city of Iskenderun, has decreased to 265 vehicles.”
The Shocking, Unacceptable Levels of Hunger and Homelessness in American Cities – A new report looks at the issue in 22 cities around the country – by Kali Holloway, Alternet.org – “● Emergency food assistance requests rose by an average of 2.8 percent during the survey period in more than half, 61 percent, of the cities involved in the survey. ● Twenty-three percent of requests for emergency food assistance in the cities surveyed went unmet. ● Food pantries and emergency kitchens had to cut back on the amount of food given out as groceries or meals in 47 percent of cities involved in the survey. ● Additionally, in far more than half of cities surveyed, 57 percent, families and individuals had to cut down on the number of visits to charitable food outlets they could make each month. ● The same percentage of cities were unable to meet food requests by homeless and hungry residents demand because they lacked sufficient resources. ● Lack of affordable housing, an issue that continues to worsen in many places around the country, was the primary reason given for homelessness among families with children. ● Poverty, unemployment and low-paying jobs were the reasons that followed. ● In 50 percent of cities surveyed, mayors indicated they expected homelessness to rise “moderately” next year. Similarly, 65 percent of cities say they expect emergency food requests to “moderately” increase over the coming 12 months.”

Leader’s Top Aide: US Plotting to Disintegrate Iraq, Syria into 8 New States – from en.FarsNews.com – ” ‘The US is after implementing its plot to create a Greater Middle-East whose aim is disintegrating Iraq into three countries and dividing Syria into five states in a bid to downsize countries to provide security to the Zionist regime,’ Velayati said on Saturday… He also referred to the regional developments, and said, ‘What we are witnessing today, including the creation of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the ISIL, is aimed at confronting the Islamic Awakening and annihilating the chain of resistance.’.. ‘Today, Syria is the golden chain of resistance and the US, the western states and their allies in the region are attempting to destroy this chain,’ Velayati said… His remarks came as General Vincent Stewart, the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, claimed in September that Iraq and Syria were unlikely to emerge intact from years of war and sectarian violence.”

Crimean blockade organizer launches guerrilla ‘Tatar battalion’ with ‘Turkish help’ – from RT.com – “Lenur Islyamov who represents the unregistered organization “Majlis of Crimean Tatars”, announced that the Turkey is taking an active role in the formation of the “Tatar battalion” tasked with “protecting the Crimean frontier” and carrying out attacks inside the peninsula… ‘While the Ukrainian Defense Ministry still only scratches its head, the Turkish Defense Ministry has already begun supporting us,’ said Islyamov, adding that Ankara has so far provided the newly-assembled radical force with boots and uniforms… The volunteer battalion is allegedly relying on “public donations” so far, but soon, Islyamov hopes, the paramilitary structure will be incorporated into Ukraine’s defense forces… ‘We now have more than a hundred people who have already entered the battalion as volunteers, but we hope that after all the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will create and allow the Crimean Tatars to have their own national battalion within the armed forces,’ Islyamov told 112 Ukraine TV channel… Islyamov hopes that the new force of around 560 fighters will serve as a “Tatar navy seals” battalion. The main task of the paramilitary unit will be guerrilla warfare and acts of sabotage inside the Crimea.” (emph. added)

Zahran_AllouchMajor CIA Operative in Syria, Zahran Allouch of Jeish Al Islam Killed by Russians – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – “Senior members of Ahrar Sham’s Shura (consultative) Council sent their condolences on the death of Allouch, who was known as the most formidable sworn enemy of President Assad across Southern Syria, as his elimination strikes a lethal blow at Jeish al-Islam and other militant groups in Syria… Zahran Allouch was notorious for his vast ethnic cleansing of Shias in Syria. Allouch’s death will likely exacerbate terrorists’ military problems in Southern Syria, specially in Damascus province… The Russian airstrike targeted Jeish al-Islam commanders’ meeting. Hamza Bayrakdar, Spokesman of Jeish al-Islam, was also killed in the airstrike in Eastern Ghouta… Jeish al-Islam is one of the largest terrorist groups in Southern Syria and the biggest one in Eastern Ghouta… Jeish al-Islam is a Saudi-backed Takfiri terrorist group affiliated to the Islamic Front a conglomerate of tens of terrorist groups fighting against the Syrian government.”

Thousands in Germany protest Turkish crackdown on Kurds (w/VIDEO – 2min) – from RT.com – “Turkey resumed a crackdown on Kurdish rebels five months ago after a two-year ceasefire. PKK is considered a terrorist organization in Turkey and has been in a guerrilla war with Ankara since 1984. An estimated 40,000 lives have been claimed by the conflict… Hostilities resumed after the PKK sent fighters to neighboring Syria to help fellow Kurds fight off the forces of the Islamic State terrorist group, which were advancing on the border city of Kobani. Turkey resisted the move, despite formally being part of a US-led coalition fighting IS, which supports the Kurdish war effort… So far, Turkish airstrikes have targeted Kurdish forces to a greater extent than those of the jihadists.”

For the week of 12/14/15:

Turkey misfires in Iraq – Turkey’s not-so-hidden agenda – from Al-Monitor.com – “Semih Idiz suggests that Turkey’s deployment was a likely attempt by Erdogan ‘to establish a Sunni sphere of influence in and around Mosul.’ Metin Gurcan adds that in addition to seeking to ‘be among the key actors to decide on the future of Mosul,’ Turkey is seeking to balance Iranian influence and ‘is particularly uneasy with the PKK [Kurdistan Workers Party] gains in Iraq and Syria. Turkey wants to militarily dominate the Shengal region, which has been a bridge between the PKK and the Kurdish nationalist Democratic Union Party [PYD] in Syria, to cripple that link.’.. The Turkish action elicited a formal protest from the Iraqi government and provoked a wave of denunciations and demonstrations led by Iraq’s Shiite political parties and militias, including a condemnation from Ayatollah Ali Sistani, Iraq’s most influential Shiite cleric. Fehim Tastekin reports that ‘among Iraqi political circles, Turkey’s policies are held responsible for the fall of Mosul and empowerment of IS.’.. Erdogan termed Iraq’s complaint to the United Nations “not a sincere step,” adding that Turkey does not have the “luxury” to wait for the Iraqi central government on threats to Turkish national security… Russia immediately and formally jumped to Iraq’s defense against what it termed Turkey’s “illegal intrusion” into Iraqi territory, accelerating the free fall in Ankara-Moscow ties over their policies in Syria.”

Adolf_ErdoganTurkey’s Aim to Annex Northern Syria and Iraq – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Turkey is a NATO member, a close US ally in its regional war OF terror, battling Kurds in northern Syria and Iraq on the phony pretext of combating ISIS… Erdogan long coveted annexing Aleppo and other northern Syrian areas, as well as bordering Iraqi territory – the latter objective to seize and control valued Mosul area oil fields… Hundreds of its troops, tanks and artillery operate from positions near Mosul – on the phony pretext of combating ISIS and training Iraqi forces, never authorized by Baghdad. Ankara intends sending more heavily armed commandos and other combat troops… ISIS forces controlled Mosul since June 2014, the largest regional city it holds, a key oil producing area. Ankara’s aim is to seize control, perhaps complicit with ISIS, a first step toward annexation, a scheme Baghdad will challenge.”

Russia Slams Riyadh’s Syrian Opposition Agreement – from RFERL.org – “Saudi Arabia’s talks between Syrian opposition groups excluded Kurds from the outset, despite their holding large tracts of territory in Syria. They also specifically excluded the Islamic militant groups Islamic State and Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affliate, in a move that met Russia’s approval… But most of Syria’s other disparate opposition groups signed onto the agreement, which called for elections leading to an all-inclusive, democratic government for Syria, and had been hailed as “an important step” by the United States… The groups that signed the accord agreed to a cease-fire and said they were prepared to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in January to start negotiations on a transition of power… But they riled Moscow by calling for Assad to step down at the start of a transitional period leading to elections… Moscow said there should be no “preconditions” set for a political transition… Peace negotiators in Vienna already agreed that ‘only the Syrian people can decide the fate of Syria,’ the ministry said. ‘Agreements must be respected.’.. Russia also criticized the Riyadh accord for not including members of the so-called “patriotic Syrian opposition” seen as friendly towards Assad.”

Abbie_OdonnellOnce Thriving Michigan Teenager Now Facing Death in CPS Custody – from HealthImpactNews.com – “A Michigan social worker asked the mother of a 14 year old girl if she has life insurance on her daughter, Abbie Odonnell, after the 5′ 9″ teen went from 145 lbs to 92 lbs under CPS custody. Her twin sister Alexis is being housed in a maximum security juvenile detention facility, and her bunkmate has reportedly murdered 7 people. Their 17 year old sister Alyssa is being held in another lock-down facility. The girls’ crime? The twins admitted to smoking pot on one occasion. Later the twins ran away from an abusive foster home. For the heinous crime of escaping that abuse, CPS is forcing the twins to serve a 12 month sentence in Wolverine Secure Treatment Center, and forbidding their older sister, who has done nothing wrong, to go home… Laura Dalton doesn’t think that Abbie will survive that long. Apparently, her social worker doesn’t either, but is not doing anything to fix the situation.”

Universal Vaccinations for Children will be Overseen by Committee which Accepts Vaccine Manufacturer Monies – by Janet Phelan, NaturalBlaze.com – “This Act would override any state law governing vaccine exemptions, making it mandatory for all students at public elementary and secondary schools to be vaccinated. The bill would amend the Public Health Services Act to require students ‘to be vaccinated in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.’ (ACIP)… The bill does not, however, reveal which vaccinations would be mandatory nor does it place a cap on vaccinations… The above cited Advisory Committee, which will be making the decisions concerning which shots are mandatory, is stacked with pro-vaccination heavyweights. Notable committee members include a Dr. Kelly Moore, Director, Tennessee Immunization Program, Dr. Edward Belongia, Director, Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Population Health at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation and Dr. Kathleen Harriman, Chief, Vaccine Preventable Disease Epidemiology Section with the California Department of Public Health, to name a few. Also sitting on the Committee as Ex Officio members are Department of Defense (DoD) officials as well as FDA officials and members of the Department of Veterans Affairs, among representatives from other federal agencies.”

Hillary-Next_LevelBragging that she and Israel were born within months, Hillary Clinton wants to take relationship to ‘next level’ – by Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss.net – Hillary: ‘In this period of period of peril, Israel needs a strong America by its side, and America needs a strong and secure Israel by our side. It’s in our national interest to have an Israel that remains a bastion of stability and a core ally in a region in chaos. An Israel strong enough to deter its enemies, and strong enough to take steps in the pursuit of peace. We need a brave democracy whose perseverance and pluralism are a rebuke to every extremist and tyrant. We need a light unto the nations as darkness threatens. Today three trends in the region and the world are converging and making our alliance with Israel more indispensable than ever. The first is a rising tide of extremism across a wide arc of instability, from North Africa to South Asia. The second is Iran’s continued aggression… The third is the growing effort to delegitimize Israel on the world stage. America and Israel need to address these threats together. We must take an already strong relationship to the next level. We have to develop a common, strategic vision and pursue a coordinated approach, deepen our cooperation and consultation across the board.’

Syrian High Command Confirms Western Coalition Attacking Government Forces – from SputnikNews.com – “Syrian General Staff information shows strikes against Syrian troop positions in Deir ez-Zor on December 6 were carried out by western coalition, according to the Russian Defense Ministry… Citing the data provided by the Syrian General Staff, MoD spokesman said that between 19:40 and 19:55 on December 6, 2015 aircraft of the Western coalition carried out a strike against the field camp of the 168th brigade of the 7th division of the Syrian government forces, located 2 kilometers west of the Deir ez-Zor airfield… ‘As a result of the airstrikes, three infantry fighting vehicles and four cars equipped with large-caliber guns were destroyed, 12 people were injured and another four were killed. There weren’t any Russian aircraft over this area. We agree all of our flights in the skies above Syria with air control management and the General Staff of the Syrian government troops,’ Konashenkov told journalists.”

Putin-Kerry-Dont_PointPutin Throws Down the Gauntlet – by Mike Whitney, InformationClearingHouse.info – “So what choice does Putin have?.. None. He has no choice. His back is against the wall. He has to fight. No one in Washington seems to get this. They think Putin can throw in the towel and call it “quits” at the first sign of getting bogged down. But he can’t throw in the towel because Russia’s facing an existential crisis. If he loses, then Russia’s going to wind up on the same scrap heap as Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. You can bet on it. So the only thing he can do is win. Period. Victory isn’t an option, it’s a necessity… Do you think that Putin and his advisors have had their heads in the sand for the last 15 years, that they haven’t noticed the US rampaging around the globe bumping off one country after the other leaving behind nothing but anarchy and ruin? Do you think they don’t know that Russia is on the top of Washington’s hit-list? Do you think they haven’t noticed NATO inching closer to Russia’s borders while foam-at-the-mouth politicians in Washington wave their fists and growl about Hitler Putin and evil Russia?.. Of course they’ve noticed. Everyone’s noticed. Everyone knows Washington is on the warpath and its leaders have gone stark raving mad. How could they not notice?”

AFRICOM’s Secret Empire: US Military Turns Africa Into ‘Laboratory’ Of Modern Warfare – from MintPressNews.com – ” ‘Apart from Djibouti, there’s no significant stockpiling of troops, equipment, or even aircraft. There are a myriad of ‘lily pads’ or small forward operating bases… so you can spread out even a small number of forces over a very large area and concentrate those forces quite quickly when necessary.’.. After years of denials, the Pentagon has slowly begun admitting to the existence of some of its outposts, with a 2015 Pentagon list now including three “cooperative security locations,” ranging from a medical research facility in Egypt to a seaport in Kenya, and AFRICOM commander Gen. David Rodriguez admitted to the existence of 11 such sites in a May interview with military news publication Stars & Stripes… This newfound transparency is likely a prelude to even more military expansion in Africa and elsewhere. On Thursday, The New York Times reported on a Pentagon plan to expand U.S. military might in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, under the pretext of defending against Daesh (the Arabic acronym for the group also known as the Islamic State, ISIS or ISIL) and other forms of Islamic extremism.” (emph. added)

Quentin_LettsBBC Censors Skepticism of Human-caused Climate Change – by Steve Byas, TheNewAmerican.com – “Quentin Letts (shown) recently wrote an article for the U.K.’s Daily Mail about the incident, in which he explained that his “What’s The Point Of … ?” series on BBC was a “chatty, personal look” at certain British institutions such as the Tate Gallery or the National Trust, giving their pros and cons… Though the half-hour show is intended to be “absurdly comical” at times, his program entitled “What’s The Point of the MET Office?” — in which Letts examined the history of weather-forecasting in Britain — was considered no laughing matter by the devotees of the widely debunked theory of man-made global climate change… Letts argued that he had interviewed on the program both climate change supporters and skeptics; however, it was the presence of the skeptics that blackballed the program.”

Venezuela Election Aftermath: Privatization Looms – from TelesurTV.net – “The right-wing coalition of parties, known as the MUD, that won a supermajority in Venezuela’s National Assembly elections Dec. 6, has laid out its plan for a radical departure from the policies and laws laid down over the past 17 years by the socialist government… Amid news of political infighting, on Thursday evening the MUD published on its website a list of laws its lawmakers plan to overturn once they come into office Jan. 5, including revoking price controls that have kept basic goods affordable; privatizing key enterprises and services; giving foreign companies concessions for infrastructure works; strengthening local police forces; and making public media “independent,” or private.”

Israeli-F15Israeli fighter jets bomb besieged Gaza Strip – from PressTV.ir – “The airborne assaults, which were launched in the early hours of Monday morning, reportedly hit several targets including military posts in the northern and central parts of the Palestinian blockaded enclave… According to local Palestinian media, Israeli Apache helicopters were also involved and launched at least two missiles at the northwestern part of the strip, targeting the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, a military wing of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement… Israeli sources claimed that the air raids were conducted in response to a rocket attack that had struck the southern part of the Israeli-occupied territories a few hours earlier, blaming the attack on the Palestinian resistance movement.”

Must Read: Income Tax & Bank Fraud: Memorandum of Law Lays Bare the Hoax that is the Internal Revenue Code – by PL Chang, Omnithought.org – “Breakthrough Memorandum of Law obliterates in 20 pages the fraud that has made the 3,837-page Internal Revenue Code a monolith of impenetrability. General knowledge of the contents of the Memorandum ultimately will result in withdrawal of cooperation on the part of a sufficient number of former victims of the fraud so as to lead to its elimination.”

THE SAN BERNARDINO SHOOTING – What Really Happened Behind The Scenes? – by Shawn Helton, 21stCenturyWire.com – “After a week of whitewashed reports, a media scripted ransacking of the alleged ‘shooters’ home (tampering with a potential crime scene) and eyewitness accounts that contradict the official narrative, we also learn that in the very room where 14 people were reportedly killed (along with 21 injured) during a deadly shooting attack at the Inland Regional Center, there was an “active-shooter” training drill involving some of the victims almost a year before the attack… Here’s what doesn’t add up… New information emerged casually in the mainstream media, prompting critics of such sensationalized events to have even more reason to question the validity of the official story surrounding this latest ‘mass shooting’ incident… In our previous articles on this subject, we pointed out multiple markers which clearly indicate ‘active shooter’ armed rehearsal drills held at and around the Inland Regional Center location. Here’s another – another unbelievable development discussed recently by the LA Times: ‘About a year ago, employees of San Bernardino County’s Environmental Health Services division underwent an “active-shooter training.”.. It was held at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino — in the very same room that would one day be a site of bloodshed and horror.’ ”

John_WhiteheadDon’t Be Fooled by the Political Game: The Illusion of Freedom in America – by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford.org – “The problem, of course, is that luck will not save us. As I make clear in my book, Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the people dealing the cards—the politicians, the corporations, the judges, the prosecutors, the police, the bureaucrats, the military, the media, etc.—have only one prevailing concern, and that is to maintain their power and control over the citizenry, while milking us of our money and possessions… It really doesn’t matter what you call them—Republicans, Democrats, the 1%, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—so long as you understand that while they are dealing the cards, the deck will always be stacked in their favor… Incredibly, no matter how many times we see this played out, Americans continue to naively buy into the idea that politics matter, as if there really were a difference between the Republicans and Democrats (there’s not).”

U-Turn? Kerry Now Says: ‘U.S. NOT Seeking Regime Change in Syria’ – by Jason Ditz, Antiwar.com and 21stCenturyWire.com – “While US Republican Party debutantes were competing to see which candidate would be the toughest in “standing up against Russia,” and endless shilling for regime change in Syria, with GOP runners Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina all screaming that, “Assad must go”… Secretary Kerry made a stunning admission which was blacked-out by the entire US mainstream media, and drowned-out online because of Donald Trump and the GOP circus: ‘The United States and our partners are not seeking so-called regime change,’ said Kerry… This is a complete u-turn position from what Washington and its allies have been saying for the last 4 years.

Yats-Wont-PayUkraine not to repay $3-billion debt to Russia: Premier – from PressTV.ir – “Addressing a cabinet meeting on Friday, Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Kiev had decided to impose a “moratorium” on the Russian bond, meaning the Ukrainian government would officially default on the bond due on December 20… ‘From today we are halting payments on this debt,’ said the Ukrainian premier, adding, ‘I stress, once again, that we are ready for a legal process with the Russian side.’.. The announcement came a week after Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to take Ukraine to court should the Kiev government fail to repay the debt on time. Kiev has a 10-day grace period to pay debt to Moscow after the late December deadline… The two sides have been engaged in a dispute over the USD three-billion loan given by Moscow the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych shortly before his ouster in 2013.”

He noted the effectiveness of Russia’s anti-terrorist aerial campaign in Syria, adding: ‘We are not using everything we have there’ or can bring to the table. ‘We have additional means, and we will use them if necessary’ in an all-out effort to eliminate a common scourge… Earlier, Putin made it very clear Russia intends continuing its war on terrorism until its objectives are accomplished – no matter how long it takes.”

ISIS IP Addresses Traced Back To Saudi Arabia and UK Governments – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “The Mirror reports that VandaSec showed them the IP addresses used by a group of three separate jihadists (digital ones at least) to access their Twitter accounts. What appeared at first to suggest that the IP addresses were based in Saudi Arabia soon revealed that the addresses linked back to the DWP in the UK… ‘VandaSec’s work has sparked wild rumours suggesting someone inside the DWP is running ISIS-supporting accounts, or they were created by intelligence services as a honeypot to trap wannabe jihadis,’ Jasper Hamill writes… The Mirror then claims to have traced the IP addresses shown to them by VandaSec and allegedly found that the addresses pointed to ‘a series of unpublicized transactions between Britain and Saudi Arabia.’.. The Mirror reports it has learned that the British government sold a significant number of IP addresses to two Saudi Arabian firms and, after the sale in October, the IP addresses were being used to spread ISIS propaganda.”

Markin said that he considers the version of the MH17 downing on July 17, 2014 over eastern Ukraine by an air-to-air missile to be in priority… ‘Moreover, experts suppose that the rocket type established was not manufactured in Russia,’ he told TASS on Wednesday… He stressed that the experts’ conclusions indicate support to the testimony Evgeny Agapov, an aviation armaments mechanic in the Ukrainian Air Force, who is under Russian state protection as “key witness” to the MH17 crash… Specifically, Agapov testified that on July 17, 2014 a Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-25 jet aircraft piloted by a “Captain Voloshin” who “set out for a military task” and returned without ammunition… …Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said Wednesday there are no grounds to set up a tribunal… ‘Our doubts are shared by China. The US and the UK backed this proposal, maybe more actively than the Malaysians.’ He said that Russia in fact supports ‘tight international cooperation in the investigation,’ and that Moscow ‘has not been seeing much.’.. ‘We see that our experts have been excluded from [the investigation]. They are sometimes given some pieces of information about how the investigation is being conducted.’.. He added that the criminal inquiry is being carried out in a ‘strictly secret mode between several countries.’ ”

Security_Council-Syria_Peace_ResU.N. endorses Syria peace plan in rare show of unity among big powers – by Denis Dyomkin, John Irish and Sabine Siebol, Reuters.com – “The resolution gives a U.N. blessing to a plan negotiated previously in Vienna that calls for a ceasefire, talks between the Syrian government and opposition, and a roughly two-year timeline to create a unity government and hold elections… But the obstacles to ending the nearly five-year civil war remain daunting, with no side in the conflict able to secure a clear military victory. Despite their agreement, the major powers are bitterly divided on who may represent the opposition as well as on the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad… ‘This council is sending a clear message to all concerned that the time is now to stop the killing in Syria and lay the groundwork for a government that the long-suffering people of that battered land can support,’ U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told the 15-nation council after the vote… The resolution also calls for the U.N. to present the council with options for monitoring a ceasefire within one month.”

Syria opposition skeptical over UN-backed peace plan – from Reuters via Lebanon Daily Star – “A U.N.-backed roadmap to end the Syrian war was met with skepticism Saturday by members of the country’s fractured opposition who insist President Bashar Assad must go to achieve peace… The U.S. and Russian initiative, unanimously approved by the U.N. Security Council on Friday, foresees talks between the rebels and the government and a rapid ceasefire, perhaps even next month… But the plan was described as unrealistic by the Istanbul-based National Coalition, the main Syrian opposition grouping… The resolution ‘undermines the outcome of the meetings of revolutionary forces in Riyadh and waters down previous U.N. resolutions concerning a political solution in Syria,’ coalition head Khaled Khoja said on Twitter.”

For the week of 12/7/15:

Syria-Opposition_SurrenderThousands of Takfiri Terrorists Lay Down Arms in Syria – from Geopolitics.co – “Over 180 wanted militants turned themselves in to the Syrian authorities in Dara’a on Sunday as the army is tightening grip on the terrorist groups across the country… The sources said that the recent victories of the Syrian army and National Defense Forces (NDF), with the backup of the Russia fighter jets, have caused a growing number of Takfiri terrorists to lay down their arms in Dara’a province in the hope that they will be pardoned by the government… Earlier today, the Syrian government announced that it has released tens of militants who had been jailed for armed struggle against the Damascus government… President Bashar Assad’s government freed 270 militants within the framework of the country’s reconciliation plan, the Arabic service of Russia Today television channel said.”

Syria: Ultimate Pipelineistan War – by Pepe Escobar, CounterPunch.org – “So, in the Big Picture, from Washington’s point of view, what matters most of all, once again, is «isolating» Iran from Europe. Washington’s game is to privilege Qatar as a source, not Iran, and Turkey as the hub, for the EU to diversify from Gazprom… This is the same logic behind the construction of the costly Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, facilitated in Azerbaijan by Zbigniew «Grand Chessboard» Brzezinski in person… As it stands, prospects for both pipelines are less than dismal. The Vienna peace process concerning Syria will go nowhere as long as Riyadh insists on keeping its weaponized outfits in the «non-terrorist» list, and Ankara keeps allowing free border flow of jihadis while engaging in dodgy business with stolen Syrian oil… What’s certain is that, geo-economically, Syria goes way beyond a civil war; it’s a vicious Pipelineistan power play in a dizzying complex chessboard where the Big Prize will represent a major win in the 21st century energy wars.”

jonathan-lundgrenThis Scientist Uncovered Problems With Pesticides – Then the Government Started to Make His Life Miserable – by Tom Philpott, MotherJones.com – “In his August 3 letter announcing Lundgren’s two-week suspension, the ARS’s McMurtry declared two topics of Lundgren’s research to be “sensitive”—meaning, he writes, subjects that agency scientists can’t publish or speak to media about without ‘prior approval at the Area and National Program levels.’.. Now, it’s unclear exactly what makes a topic “sensitive.” Weeks ago, a spokesman for the Agricultural Research Service’s press office told me that he would look up the agency’s formal criteria for sensitivity and divulge it to me. Since then, he has repeatedly declined to answer the question. But it’s abundantly clear that many of Lundgren’s findings don’t jibe with industry interests… Take neonicotinoids, the globe’s most widely used class of insecticides with annual sales of about $2.6 billion. In a peer-reviewed 2015 paper co-authored with a South Dakota State University professor—the one the ARS accuses him of submitting for publication without proper internal approval—Lundgren found that one common neonic, clothianidin, marketed by Bayer, harms monarch butterflies at levels commonly found in Midwestern milkweed plants, the endangered insect’s habitat and food source.”

The Paris Attacks Are Just The Beginning – from StormCloudsGathering.com – “What’s happening in France should not be viewed in isolation. Xenophobic sentiment has been on the rise throughout Europe, and is gaining ground politically. This trend has clearly been exacerbated by the ongoing migrant crisis (which is obviously tied to the regime change policies of the West) but one variable in this equation that no one is talking about is the fact that the way immigration has been handled in Europe is not merely a question of short sightedness, it is a reflection of policy… In 2012 UN migration chief Peter Sutherland urged the EU to “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states. Such a proposition may sound absurd, unless you take into account that breaking down the national identity of a country makes it much easier to dissolve political boundaries and independence. And that’s precisely what the technocrats in Brussels want.”

Khalida_Jarrar2Israeli court jails Palestinian MP for 15 months: army – from DailyStar.com.lb – “Issa Qaraqe, Palestinian minister for prisoner affairs, condemned the trial, calling it ‘arbitrary and legally unjustified.’.. ‘This is a political arrest. The charges against her are fabricated and ridiculous… there are no security reasons as claimed by the Israeli authorities,’ he told AFP… Jarrar is a member of the Palestinian parliament which has not met since 2007 after elections a year earlier were won by the Islamist movement Hamas… Addameer said that five of the 132 members of that parliament are currently detained by Israel, including Marwan Barghouti — among the most prominent Palestinian leaders. Qaraqe condemned what he said was a “campaign” to prosecute parliamentarians… In August 2014 Jarrar was ordered to leave Ramallah within 24 hours and to move to Jericho, but announced at the time she would disobey.”

ISIS Makes Major Move In Yemen, Assassinates Aden’s Governor After Executing Two Dozen Houthis – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “What this suggests is that ISIS is now set to expand its influence in Yemen. Remember, the country’s proxy war is really no different in character to what’s going on in Syria. The distinction is that in Yemen, Iran is fighting via proxy while the Saudis and Qatar are there in person while in Syria, Iran has boots on the ground while the Saudis and Qatar are fighting via proxies… Of course one of Riyadh and Doha’s proxies in the Syrian conflict is ISIS, and as mentioned above, the group is now targeting the Saudi coalition’s support base in Aden which would seem to indicate – and this is a colorful metaphor we’ve used before – that this is but another example of Frankenstein breaking out of the lab and attacking its creators. Whether or not an expanded ISIS presence in Yemen will benefit the Saudi cause largely depends on whether the Houthis become Islamic State’s main target in the country, or whether they intend to wage a protracted war against pro-Hadi forces.”

Google-spyingK-12 Students, Privacy Advocates Call for Federal Sanctions – The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls for federal sanctions – by Steven Rosenfeld, Alternet.org – ” ‘Google is violating the Student Privacy Pledge in three ways,’ said the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission. ‘First… student personal information in the form of data about their use of non-educational Google services is collected, maintained, and used by Google for its own benefit, unrelated to authorized educational or school purposes.’.. ‘Second, the “Chrome Sync” feature of Google’s Chrome browser is turned on by default on all Google Chromebook laptops – including those sold to schools as part of Google for Education – thereby enabling Google to collect and use students’ entire browsing history and other data for its own benefit,’ EFF continues. ‘And third, Google for Education’s Administrative settings, which enable a school administrator to control settings for all program Chromebooks, allow administrators to choose settings that share student personal information with Google and third-party websites.’ ”

Voodoo Science: The Myth of Vaccine Efficacy – by Dr. Gary Null, GlobalResearch.ca – “…antibodies in turn will protect us from the infectious disease specific to a given vaccine… This central premise is virtually never challenged. Hundreds of millions of Americans simply accept that all vaccines are scientifically proven to confer immunity against disease. In a previous article, Uncovering the Cover-Up: Scientific Analysis of the Vaccine-Autism Connection, Deeply Flawed US Vaccine Policies, we examined the myths about vaccine safety and presented the actual science demonstrating vaccines’ toxic ingredients and adverse neurological effects. This report investigates the medical industry’s claims that vaccines are effective. Moreover, the independent research presented for each major vaccine raises serious questions that challenge the concept of antibody generation as a reliable factor to assure viral and bacterial immunity.” (emph. added)

Bill_HolterFinancial Markets Crashed, Including the Dollar. What Happened? – by Bill Holter, GlobalResearch.ca – “The Fed has truly painted themselves into a corner of their own making. I am shocked they have been so vocal and vehement they were going to raise rates. Did they not have a deal already in place with the ECB or were they double crossed? On the one hand if they do not hike rates, their credibility is toast. On the other hand if they do raise rates they will smoke the financial markets faster than you can call your broker with a sell order. I can only think the Fed somehow believed they had a deal with the ECB? Even the BIS has warned the Fed about raising rates, is the Fed just not listening to the rest of the world? Whether they see it or not, they have created a currency crisis with the dollar being the central character.

EFSA and Member States vs. IARC on Glyphosate: Has Science Won? – from CorporateEurope.org – “On 12 November 2015, following a long saga (see our previous article), unnamed officials from EFSA and experts from EU Member States published the outcome of their joint re-assessment of the toxicity of glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the world. More commonly known as ‘Roundup’, which is the original Monsanto trade name, it is applied to more than 150 food and non-food crops 1 and is used by millions of home-owners, businesses and public authorities to keep lawns, gardens, buildings and other land free of weeds. Glyphosate is also a cornerstone of GM crop cultivation. According to GM proponents, 57 per cent of all genetically modified crops grown commercially around the world in 2013 were herbicide tolerant, and the vast majority of these were engineered to tolerate glyphosate-based herbicides. This simplifies their cultivation in large-scale, socially and environmentally harmful monoculture plantations, also known as ‘green deserts‘… Following a peer review of available data, these anonymous officials issued several conclusions about the toxicity of glyphosate. Two of the most important outcomes were: – Glyphosate was deemed “unlikely” to cause cancer in humans; – It was suggested that the legally permissible exposure levels of EU consumers to glyphosate be increased by 66 per cent.”

Linus_PaulingDid Linus Pauling Really Get It Right Regarding Vitamin C’s Healing Powers? – by Paul A. Philips, NaturalBlaze.com – “One of the most respected scientists of all time twice Nobel Prize winner Biochemist Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was well aware of vitamin C and its involvement in the manufacture of good connective tissue and that it had been said to promote heart health… He hypothesised that heart disease was the result of developing long-term scurvy (vitamin C deficiency). So, through experimentation, he devised a unified approach for the cure of heart disease; a therapy involving high doses of vitamin C (up to 6g a day) –40-60mg RDA is the guideline amount required to prevent scurvy… In spite of Pauling’s claim to the therapy’s success mainstream medicine’s reaction was one of flat rejection, claiming that Pauling, although a great scientist, was outside of his field of expertise… That was the end-of- story in terms of vitamin C getting recognition in mainstream medicine as a cure for heart disease, until recently…”

Destroying Syria to Create Sunnistan – by Mike Whitney, GlobalResearch.ca – “Bingo. Ultimately, the war on terror is a public relations fig leaf designed to conceal Washington’s attempt to rule the world. It’s impossible to make sense of goings-on around the globe without some grasp of how seemingly random acts of violence and terror fit within the broader and more comprehensive geopolitical strategy to create a new unipolar world order, to crush all emerging rivals, and to extend US full-spectrum-dominance across the planet… So it looks like an agreement has been struck between Turkey, the KRG and the United States to seize parts of northern Iraq and eastern Syria to create a de facto Sunni state that will be jointly-controlled by Ankara and Washington. It also looks like Obama has agreed to use dodgy jihadi-proxies (aka–Terrorists) to work alongside US Special Forces to carry out future military operations. So while the effort to remove Assad has been temporarily put on the backburner, the determination to destroy Syria is as strong as ever.”

Climate Hustle: The Perfect Antidote To Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth – by James Delingpole, Breitbart.com – “Climate Hustle is the Anti Inconvenient Truth. It’s for people with an open mind who want to know what’s really going on with the world’s climate – as opposed to what hucksters like Al Gore want to persuade them is going on with the world’s climate – all backed up with hard data and evidence presented by scientists who know and understand, among them the Nobel-prize-winning Norwegian physicist Ivar Giaever… Its message ought not to be dynamite, for it is no more than basic science and established fact… But Climate Hustle is dynamite – at least it will be to most viewers, especially younger ones – because what it says is so totally at odds with almost every documentary, TV programme and film that has ever been made on the subject of global warming. (Apart from Martin Durkin’s The Great Global Warming Swindle, climate skeptical documentaries are pretty much non-existent).”

Eric_Blair-20sSocial Justice Activists Seek Equal Tyranny For All (Women to Be Drafted Soon) – by Eric Blair, ActivistPost.com – “Thus, even if the lawsuit fails, women will probably be forced to register for the military draft in the near future. I suppose I should congratulate feminists for achieving equal treatment under the Constitution, right?.. I’m the father of three boys who will NOT be registering for the draft because fuck you. You don’t own them, through government or otherwise. They own themselves. And they will not fight and die in your corporate wars… If I had daughters, I’d feel the same way. I’d feel the same way if I was black, brown or a different nationality because the principles here are peace and liberty, not someone’s fleeting definition of equality… Albert Einstein famously said ‘I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I’m willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.’ ” (emph. added)

Crimea Loses Power Temporarily, Ukraine Loses Crimea Forever – by Tony Cartalucci, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Either Kiev has no control over what takes place in its own territory or it has ordered Right Sector and other groups to initiate the blockade of Crimea. Either way, Vice President Biden’s calls for Russia to return Crimea to Ukrainian control appear irresponsible at best. With literal Neo-Nazis cutting power to 2 million civilians – a blatant war crime – seems only to further vindicate Russia’s actions regarding Crimea and the decision of the people of Crimea themselves to seek a place within the Russian Federation… Sovereignty Games: The illegitimacy of not only the regime in Kiev, but of NATO who created it and to this day perpetuates its existence, has helped erode the very principles both are now trying to appeal to in order to maintain the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Beyond Ukraine, similar scenarios are developing across all of Eastern Europe, where as NATO attempts to expand closer and closer to Russia’s borders, it is finding it increasingly difficult to find allies who are not extremists with ties to fascism and/or Nazism… By allying itself with these radical elements, those populations subjected to their NATO-backed domination of politics, economics, and security are more likely to turn toward Russia either as Crimea did, or as the break-away republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have.”

McCain-Graham-DreadfulMcCain and Graham’s Predictably Terrible Ideas for Syria – by Daniel Larison, TheAmericanConservative.com – “Notice that two out of three pieces of this “coherent strategy” are focused on attacking and/or threatening regime forces and the regime’s patrons, which has nothing to do with “destroying” ISIS and promises to widen the conflict by committing the U.S. to fight against the Syrian government and its backers. There is nothing coherent about this, unless the goal is to get the U.S. into as many simultaneous conflicts with as many different parties as possible. For the sake of defending proxies that have proved themselves to be useless, McCain and Graham want the U.S. to risk open war with Russia. When they talk about the “real costs” that they want to impose on Russia, we know they are talking about killing Russian personnel and shooting down their planes, because they have explicitly called for this in the past.”

‘Out of question’: Erdogan rules out Turkish troop withdrawal from Iraq – from RT.com – ” ‘Objections were expressed to him over such actions, with the ambassador also [being] handed a demand … [for] the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the territory of Iraq,” Mihebis said… The MP also commented on Erdogan’s previous claims to Al Jazeera that Turkish troops were in Iraq at the request of the country’s prime-minister, Haider al-Abadi.’.. ‘It’s a lie. This statement has nothing to do with reality … the Turkish troops have entered Iraq as invaders without a request from Iraqi government and without its permission,’ he said… Mihebis also confirmed media reports of Turkish airstrikes targeting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) forces in northern Iraq on Wednesday. He called the bombings ‘a new violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and of international law by Turkey.’.. ‘If Turkey does not withdraw its troops and the Security Council, the Arab League and the international community will continue to idle, we will find a way to protect our legal rights,’ Iraqi MP from the State of Law bloc, Awatif Nima, told RT.” – I wonder how that’s going to work?

U.S. Gov’t Finally Admits that Turkey Allows the Islamic State to Transport Stolen Oil Across Border – by Jay Syrmopoulos, FreeThoughtProject.com – “On Thursday, U.S. Treasury Department official Adam Szubin admitted that the Islamic State is moving the contraband oil into Turkey, but attempted to rationalize these actions by claiming that the majority of the stolen oil is being sold to the Assad government… ‘Some is coming across the border into Turkey,’ admitted Szubin… The terrorists make as much as $40 million per month selling oil and have earned more than $500 million from the oil trade so far, according to Szubin, who then attempted to place responsibility on the Assad government… ‘ISIL is selling a great deal of oil to the Assad regime,’ Szubin said, claiming that in spite of being at war, the two sides are “\’still engaged in millions and millions of dollars of trade,’ which to some degree is probably true out of necessity, but in no way excuses a NATO member state from financing a global terrorist organization.”

For the week of 11/30/15:

Got_GunsTurkey Arrests Generals for Stopping Syria-Bound Trucks ‘Filled With Arms’ – from Sputnik News.com – “In January 2014, Ankara Gendarmerie Major-General Ibrahim Aydin, former Adana Gendarmerie Brigadier-General Hamza Celepoglu and former Gendarmerie Criminal Laboratory Head Colonel Burhanettin Cihangiroglu stopped Syrian-bound trucks in southern Turkey after they received information from an anonymous source that the trucks were illegally carrying weapons to militants in Syria… When the information about the trucks became public, MIT (Turkish Intelligence) officials and high-ranking Turkish politicians, including President Recep Teyyip Erdogan, who was Prime Minister back then, and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, then the country’s foreign minister, were furious that the gendarmes stopped the trucks and said the Syria-bound trucks were carrying “humanitarian aid” to Turkmen living just south of Turkey, the newspaper said… ‘Yes, I’m saying this without any hesitation. That aid was going to the Turkmens. There will be a war next door and we will watch our Turkmen, Arab and Turkish brothers being massacred,’ Davutoglu said, as cited by Today’s Zaman… The gendarmes involved in the interception confirmed that the Syria-bound trucks weren’t going to an area where the Turkmen lived, but to an area populated by radical groups, the Turkish newspaper said… When an investigation into the MIT case was launched, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) called the probe as “treason and espionage” on the part of prosecutors.”

The “Pop” Heard ‘Round the World – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “If private investors lowered the price of US bonds for sale at that auction, they’d cause the market price for US bonds (held as bank collateral) to fall around the world. Under fractional reserve banking, a general decline in the price of US bonds could cause banks to call in billions or even trillions of dollars in loans. The impact on the US and global economies would be negative and might be disastrous. The real point, I suspect, was that significantly lower bond prices would signal a loss of much of the public confidence required to keep the whole Ponzi Scheme running… That would truly be a “failed Treasury auction” of historic proportions… What did the US Treasury do?.. Rather than allow evidence to be created on the public record of a “failed Treasury auction,” the Treasury Department closed the auction without selling a single bond. They prevented even a single sale that would help prove that the free market price for US bonds—and public confidence in government’s ability to pay its bills—had fallen significantly… That was a “failed Treasury auction” of the sort that John Whitehead and Mitt Romney had described. However, because Treasury closed the auction rather than allow one sale that would be evidence of that failure, the result was not catastrophic… Instead, for the next few years, whenever the US Treasury held an “auction,” the Federal Reserve intervened to not only buy most of the US bonds that were being sold, but also to pay “full price” for those bonds. Figuratively speaking, the Fed was over-paying $900 for a $1,000 US bond in order to conceal the fact that the private investors’ markets might not pay even $700 for the same bond… Treasury auctions were, in fact, failing. The free market price of US bonds was falling. But the Fed concealed evidence of that failure by paying more than the free-market price. Thanks to the Fed, Treasury auctions looked like “business as usual” and US bonds appeared to retain their value… By buying US bonds and paying “full price,” the Federal Reserve maintained the illusion of steady value in US bonds. So long as that illusion of value (redeemability) remained, the public retained confidence that the government could repay its debts in full. Unfortunately, that confidence is unfounded since it’s based on the Fed’s manipulation of the bond markets rather than honest, free-market prices for bonds.”

Carter-Armed_Servs_CommEscalation: U.S. Sending More Special Operators to Iraq – by Susan Jones – CNSNew.com – “”We’re at war,” Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. And the U.S. is sending more troops to the front… ‘Tens of thoussands of U.S. personnel are operating in the broader Middle East region. And more are on the way,’ Carter said in his opening statement… ‘In full coordination with the government of Iraq, we’re deploying a specialized expeditionary targeting force to assist Iraqi and Peshmerga forces put even more pressure on ISIL. These special operators will, over time, be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence, and capture ISIL leaders. This force will also be in a position to conduct unilateral operations in Syria.’.. Carter said the U.S. raids in Iraq will be done at the invitation of the Iraqi government and focus on defending its borders and building the capability of the Iraqi Security Forces… Carter said the U.S. also is expanding its attacks on ISIL’s infrastructure, including its oil wells and tankers.”

Putin-G20-2015Putin Reveals ISIS Funded by 40 Countries, Including G20 Members – by Jay Syrmopoulos, ActvistPost.com – “In addition to discussing the need to stop the flow of donor money to ISIS, Putin also reiterated the need to stop the illegal oil trade by ISIS: ‘I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products,’ he said… The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon,’ Putin said… The Islamic State makes an estimated $50 million a month from selling crude from captured oilfields in Iraq and Syria, according to Iraqi intelligence and U.S. officials… According to a report by Business Insider: ‘Oil sales — the extremists’ largest single source of continual income — are a key reason they have been able to maintain their rule over their self-declared “caliphate” stretching across large parts of Syria and Iraq. With the funds to rebuild infrastructure and provide the largesse that shore up its fighters’ loyalty, it has been able to withstand ground fighting against its opponents and more than a year of bombardment in the U.S.-led air campaign.’ “

Commander: Iraqi Forces’ Further Advance against ISIL Blocked by US – from en.FarsNews.com – ” ‘The US meddling prevents the Iraqi army and popular forces from concluding their battles against the ISIL in Ramadi and Fallujah cities,’ Commander of Imam Khamenei Battalion Haidar al-Hosseini al-Ardavi told FNA on Sunday… He noted that the US is doing its best to prevent mop-up operations by the popular forces in Anbar province… Al-Ardavi underlined that prolonging the Anbar battle will also negatively influence the Iraqi army’s battles against the terrorists in other provinces… In September, an Iraqi analyst said that the US is using some tribesmen in the Western province of Anbar to pressure the government in Baghdad to keep the popular forces away from the battle against terrorists in the volatile region… Mohammad Na’na expressed regret that Washington has succeeded in persuading certain tribal leaders in Anbar to join its so-called war on the ISIL… ‘Washington is pressuring the Iraqi government to exclude the popular forces from the Anbar province mop-up operations,’ he told FNA… Na’na, meantime, warned against the United States’ negative role in the war on ISIL, saying field reports show that the US ground troops have played no role in the operations that led to the liberation of Anbar… Iraqi Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmad Jamal announced in September that Baghdad had rejected Washington’s demand for the deployment of the US ground force to Iraq’s war against the ISIL.”

Cops-Burger_King_surveilCops Didn’t Know this Camera Caught them Deleting Video of the Murder of Laquan McDonald – by Andrew Emett, ActivistPost.com – “But according to witness statements and police dashcam video, McDonald was walking away when Van Dyke opened fire. After McDonald had collapsed to the ground in a near-fetal position, Van Dyke continued firing his weapon until emptying his clip. As Van Dyke began reloading his gun, a fellow officer had to order him to cease firing at the dying teen… Before McDonald’s family could even file a lawsuit, the city gave them a $5 million settlement on the condition that the family agreed not to publicly release the dashcam footage of the teen’s death. After suppressing the video for 13 months, the city received a court order to release the footage. The city released the dashcam video last week, which clearly shows McDonald did not lunge at the officers before the fatal shooting… In May, Burger King district manager Jay Darshane accused officers of deleting the security footage after spending over three hours in the fast food restaurant on the night of the shooting. According to Darshane, the video equipment was working properly, but 86 minutes of footage, from 9:13 p.m. to 10:39 p.m., disappeared after the officers left… When asked if he was certain that the officers deleted the footage of the killing, Darshane answered, “Yes.”.. ‘We had no idea they were going to sit there and delete files,’ Darshane said. ‘I mean we were just trying to help the police officers.’.. Unable to clearly explain why the 86 minutes disappeared, Police Supt. Garry McCarthy blamed the missing files on technical difficulties. At a press conference last week, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez asserted that no one had tampered with the Burger King surveillance video. When asked who conducted the forensic testing, Alvarez did not appear to know the answer… Alvarez responded, ‘That’s all I’m going to say on this.’ “

Bergoglio-Sky_Is_FallingWorld headed toward ‘suicide’ if no climate agreement: pope – by Philip Pullella, Reuters.com – “The pope, who wrote a major document on the environment last June, made the comment in an hour-long news conference aboard the plane returning him to Rome at the end of a six-day trip to Africa… The freewheeling conversations have become a trademark of his papacy and the few times he takes direct questions from journalists… Francis, who visited Kenya, Uganda and the Central African Republic, also said the continent was “a martyr of exploitation” by wealthy countries who lust after its natural resources and try to impose Western values instead of concentrating on development… The pope was asked if the U.N. climate summit in Paris would mark a turnaround in the fight against global warming… ‘I am not sure, but I can say to you ‘now or never’,’ he said. ‘Every year the problems are getting worse. We are at the limits. If I may use a strong word I would say that we are at the limits of suicide.’ ” – Just wondering, why Reuters has decided that the title “pope” is no longer to be capitalized…

US Air Force Pilots Bombing Desert In Syria, Returning With Ordnance Allegedly Intended For ISIS – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “The head of the Russian Parliament’s International Affairs Committee, Alexei Pushkov, wrote that the United States actually spent an entire year bombing nothing but the desert as opposed to any ISIS targets… Even a leading member of Congress was forced to address the issue at a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee where he spoke with U.S. military leaders about the American “campaign” against ISIS… ‘You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three-quarters of our ordnance we can’t drop, we can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us. I don’t understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit,’ Royce said.”

Is Turkey Closing The Bosphorus Strait, Escalating With Russia? – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “According to reports from Sputnik News made only hours ago: ‘In a clear violation of international norms, Turkish authorities have created hurdles for Russian vessels passing through the Bosphorus Strait; as a result, dozens of Russian ships have been waiting for hours to obtain the green light from Turkey for passage, media reports said… ‘RIA Novosti quoted Viktor Kravchenko, former chief of staff of the Russian Navy, as saying that a possible unilateral closure by Turkey of the Bosphorus Strait for Russian ships would be out of line with international law… ‘ ‘Turkey will not close the strait to Russian vessels en route to Syria because it would be a violation of international law and the Montreux Convention, in particular, — a document that was signed by most counties at the time’, he said.’ ”

Brandon_SmithThe Fall Of America Signals The Rise Of The New World Order – by Brandon Smith, ActivistPost.com – “In “Ruling The World Of Money,” Harper’s Magazine established what Quigley admitted in Tragedy And Hope — that the control of the global economic policy and, by extension, political policy is dominated by a select few elites, namely through the unaccountable institutional framework of the BIS… The U.S. and the Federal Reserve are mere tentacles of the great vampire squid that is the new world order. And being a tentacle makes one, to a certain extent, expendable, if the trade will result in even greater centralization of power… The delusion that some people within the liberty movement are under is that the fall of America will result in the fall of the new world order. In reality, the fall of America is a necessary step towards the RISE of the new world order. The Rothschild-owned financial magazine The Economist reaffirmed this trend of economic “harmonization” in its 1988 article “Get Ready For A World Currency By 2018,” which described the creation of a global currency called the “Phoenix” over three decades…”

Global warming HOAX unravels… globalist science fraud engineered to control humanity, not save it (w/audio podcast 49 min)– by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “I used to casually believe the global warming narrative, but when I took a closer look at the data and motivations of those pushing the global warming agenda, it became obvious to me that global warming is a massive scientific hoax being perpetrated for political reasons… I’ve just posted a podcast that explains the systemic fraud and deception being carried out by “climate change alarmists” in their effort to enslave all of humanity under globalist regulatory control that would dictate all human activity (including breathing).”

Syrian_Command_SpokesmanTurkey boosts arms supplies to Syria terrorists in exchange for oil & antiques – Damascus – from RT.com – ” ‘We have certain information that the Turkish government recently increased support for terrorists and the level of supplying them with arms, ammunition and munitions to continue their criminal acts in exchange for oil and antiquities stolen from Syria and Iraq at low prices, taking advantage of the presence of terrorists whom it enabled to control border areas,’ a statement from the Syrian General Command said, as cited by official Syrian news agency SANA… The new weapons shipments, allegedly paid for with smuggled oil and artifacts, are being delivered disguised as humanitarian aid, and easily pass through Turkish border controls, Syrian officials claimed. Additionally, Turkey was accused of escalating border tensions by shelling Syrian army positions in northwestern Latakia province from al-Aqra’a Mountain on Friday night.” (emph. added)

Forensic science lab pressured by law enforcement to falsify marijuana THC test results – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “Nevertheless, Andy Fias, a lieutenant with the state police’s West Michigan regional drug task force, observed in an email to the Forensic Science Division in January 2015, ‘We are encountering a significant amount of THC wax and oil. If we were to seized [sic] the wax/oil from a card carrying patient or caregiver and it comes back as marijuana, we will not have PC [probable cause] for the arrests.‘.. Citing the documents, The Intercept noted that Fias indicated he had heard that forensic analysts were classifying some found oil as marijuana instead of THC… ‘Is there a way to get this changed?’ he wrote. ‘Our prosecutors are willing to argue that one speck of marijuana does not turn the larger quantity of oil/wax into marijuana.’ ”

Saakashvili-extortion-in-OdessaUkrainian MP accuses Saakashvili of extortion, racketeering in Odessa – “And those who don’t want to pay are visited by a Georgian prosecutor and a Georgian police officer. People have nobody to complain to… Saakashvili has created a vicious circle,” Dmitry Golubev said – from Tass.Ru – “”Saakashvili has started racketeering in Odessa.

And they pay the money,’ the lawmaker said on TV Channel 112 on Tuesday… According to him, ‘almost all major Odessa businessmen pay Saakashvili.’ ”

10 Biggest Wall St. Banks Now Facing Legal Action for Price Fixing $320 Trillion Derivative Market – by Jay Syrmopoulos, ActivistPost.com – “Out of the ten banks named in the lawsuit, nine of the banks own equity stakes in Tradeweb and hold positions on the company’s board and governance committees. The banking consortium used those positions to effectively control Tradeweb and collectively blocked the development of more investor-friendly swaps exchanges by firms such as the CME Group, TrueEX, Javelin Capital Markets, and TeraExchange, according to the suit… According to the lawsuit: ‘During the time period relevant here, Tradeweb board and governance committees… were organized specifically for the purpose of protecting the ‘dealer community’ from the growth of exchange trading.’.. Similar allegations of bank collusion in the market for another type of derivative, known as credit default swaps, have been the subject of investigations by the United States Department of Justice and the European Commission, as well as a separate class-action lawsuit brought by investors, according to Reuters.”

Soros-Poster_ChildProsecutors ban Soros Foundation as ‘threat to Russian national security’ – from RT.com – “Prosecutors launched a probe into the activities of the two organizations – both sponsored by the well-known US financier George Soros – in July this year, after Russian senators approved the so-called “patriotic stop-list” of 12 groups that required immediate attention over their supposed anti-Russian activities. Other groups on the list included the National Endowment for Democracy; the International Republican Institute; the National Democratic Institute; the MacArthur Foundation and Freedom House… In late July, the Russian Justice Ministry recognized the US National Endowment for Democracy as an undesirable group after prosecutors discovered the US NGO had spent millions on attempts to question the legitimacy of Russian elections and tarnish the prestige of national military service.”

According to the prime minister, the incident brought a lack of information sharing between various European intelligence agencies to light. Michel stressed that Europe-wide protocols could prevent future attacks within the EU… ‘If intelligence services were able to share information without fail there might never be another attack,’ he said, stressing that no system has been put in place to regularize these exchanges… The idea of a central European intelligence agency had already been brought up by the European Home Affairs commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, on Friday.”

SanBernShootingDaily Shooter: San Bernardino Evidence of Multi-Agency Drill, Staging Areas, Set-up in Less Than 90 MinutesCurrent coverage from 21stCenturyWire.com “Incredibly, we quickly learned that the same location where this ‘mass shooting’ has taken place, the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino – also stages “Active Shooter” Drills that feature armed response teams… every month. This little known fact surfaced in an LA Times report which interviewed Dorothy Vong, one of the nurses on duty: ‘Drill started,’ Dorothy Vong texted her husband, Mark. It was about 11 a.m. Wednesday… ‘The Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, where Dorothy is a nurse, conducts active-shooter drills every month or so. Vong assumed that’s why she could see heavily armed law enforcement officers sprinting toward the building. She walked to a window and made a cellphone video of the scene. She sent it to her husband. On the video, a voice can be heard saying: ‘They’re all geared up! Rifles and everything!’ In the background, there is laughter.’.. ‘Then reality intruded.

The UK Parliament’s Decision to Bomb Syria is ILLEGALArguments based on UN resolution 2249 in Prime Minister´s report on airstrikes in Syria: some clarifications needed – by Prof Nicolas Boeglin, GlobalResearch.ca – “UNSC Resolution 2249: a confusing text from legal perspective: Concerning the second argument presented by Prime Minister David Cameron, the content of the Resolution 2249 has been made public since November 13 (Note 2), and assertions made by Prime Minister Cameron require some clarifications… As known, Security Council 2249 (see text ) resolution does not provide any legal basis for airstrikes in Syria. A careful reading of the text shows that Resolution 2249 does not mention Article 42 of the UN Charter, which allows Security Council to authorize States to the use of force, or even Chapter VII generally; nor does use the verb “decide“, used when Security Council adopts a resolution on the use of force.”

gladio-BRussia versus NATO’s Gladio 2.0: Turkish jihad from China to Syria – by Joe Quinn, SOTT.net – “The paramilitary wing of the MHP (today the third largest political party in Turkey) is called the ‘Grey Wolves’. In the 1960s, Turkes established over 100 camps across Turkey where members received ideological and paramilitary training from CIA agents, including one former Nazi SS member. This system was analogous to the hundreds of ‘madrassas’ established with CIA money for the training of jihadi extremists in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Often masquerading as ‘cultural’ or ‘sports’ organizations, the Grey Wolves in Turkey carried out shootings and bombings against left-wing and liberal activists, journalists, judges, Kurds and anyone else who was deemed a threat to US control over Turkey. Over 6,000 people were killed… Working with the CIA-controlled National Intelligence Organization, the Grey Wolves were also involved in several coup d’etats in Turkey and at least one foreign attempted coup in Azerbaijan in 1995. It was immediately after this 1995 coup that Azerbaijan was ‘opened up’ to Western capital and, in the words of investigative journalist Greg Palast, became the ‘Republic of BP’ (British Petroleum). The Grey Wolves also fought against Russian soldiers as proxy forces for NATO in both Chechen wars, and 15,000 ‘Grey Wolves’ fought on the side of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988 – 94) against Armenia (another US proxy war designed to provoke Russia).” – Note: This article is a veritable encyclopedia of info on how Al-CIA-duh is now implementing global instability – Highly Recommended!

Putin-We-will-respond-Betrayal‘Allah took their sanity’: Putin accuses Turkish leadership of ‘aiding terror’ – from RT.com – ““We will not forget this aid to terrorists. We have always considered betrayal the worst and most shameful act. Let those in Turkey know it who shot our pilots in the back, who hypocritically tries to justify themselves and their actions and cover up the crimes of terrorists,” he said… Putin said Russia would not resort to saber-rattling to respond to the Turkish actions, but neither would it limit itself to the economic sanctions it imposed since the incident… The incident with the Russian Su-24 bomber shot down by Turkish warplanes near the Turkish-Syrian border has greatly deteriorated relations between the two countries. Turkey insists it acted in response to a brief violation of its airspace and was justified in using lethal force. Russia insists no violation took place and has accused Turkey of supporting terrorists in Syria.”

With US Help, Saudi Arabia Is Obliterating Yemen – by Sharif Abdel Kouddous, GlobalResearch.ca – “Down the hill from the wreckage is an open plot of land with 26 fresh graves lined in neat rows. The white and gold headstones label the dead as martyrs… ‘Why did a wedding become a target?’ asks Alaa Ali al-Sanabani, a relative of the victims who was at the house the night of the attack. ‘We are asking for an independent investigation from an international body.’.. Saudi Arabia has denied responsibility. ‘We did not have any operations there at that time,’ Brig. Gen. Ahmed al-Asiri, the spokesperson for the coalition, told GlobalPost, adding somewhat impossibly that the strike instead came from the local rebel group the Saudis are fighting… There is little rebel presence in Sanaban — no military posts visible in the village, no traces of any ground clashes. Meanwhile, multiple survivors interviewed separately said they heard fighter jets overhead minutes before the attack. Aside from US drones operating sporadically in some parts of the country, the Saudi coalition is the only air power flying above Yemen… ‘The Saudis act with impunity, so it doesn’t matter,’ said Hisham al-Omeisy, a political analyst based in Sanaa. ‘It’s not a big deal that they hit a wedding. Since the beginning of the war they have denied pretty much everything.’ ”

Obama White House: Terrorists Will Stop Attacking if We Pass Gun Control Laws – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest: ‘Does the President really think that common sense gun laws would deter terrorists now that he has admitted that these two may have been terrorists?’.. ‘Yes. The president believes that passing common sense gun laws that makes it harder for people with bad intentions to get guns, makes the country safer,’ responded Earnest… ‘But so the president thinks that when there are potentially two terrorists sitting around planning a mass murder they may call it off because President Obama has put in place common sense gun laws?’ Doocy shot back… ‘Why wouldn’t we make it harder for them? What’s the explanation for that?’ responded Earnest… The Obama White House is essentially arguing that passing more gun laws which disarm law-abiding citizens will somehow make jihadists, who have access to international terrorist contacts and back-door weapons smuggling rings, less determined and less capable of carrying out massacres.”

Mark_TonerUS rejects Turkey’s involvement in oil trade with Daesh – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘The Turks have been great partners’ in fighting Daesh militants, said US Army Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, at a press briefing in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Wednesday… US State Department spokesman Mark Toner also rejected the Russian claims. ‘We reject, outright, the premise that the Turkish government is in league with ISIL to smuggle oil across its borders. And we frankly see no evidence, none, to support such an accusation.’.. ‘There is no Turkish government complicity in some operation to buy illegal oil from [ISIL],’ he said.” (emph. added)

Greece to defy EU order on labeling settlement goods – Day after Greek PM visits Jerusalem, letter is dispatched to Netanyahu informing him of decision by Athens – by Raphael Ahren, TimeOfIsrael.com – “A day after Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras visited Jerusalem, his foreign minister Nikos Kotzias sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, informing him of the opposition by Athens to the EU guidelines, The Times of Israel has learned… According to guidelines published earlier this month by the European Commission, goods manufactured over the pre-1967 lines may not state that they were “Made in Israel.” Rather, they should be labeled with a formulation such as “Product from the West Bank (Israeli settlements),” the Commission suggested… ‘The European Commission expects all member states to comply with EU legislation,’ an official in the union’s delegation to Israel told The Times of Israel last week… Another European country, however, has already declared its intention to defy Brussels’s instructions on labeling: ‘We do not support that decision,’ Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó declared earlier this month at an event of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations. ‘It is an inefficient instrument. It is irrational and does not contribute to a solution [to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict], but causes damage.’ ”

Israel PM admits forces operating in war-hit Syria – by Agence France Presse via News.Yahoo.com – “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time Tuesday that Israeli forces have been operating in Syria, where the Iran-backed regime is battling rebels including the jihadist Islamic State… ‘We occasionally carry out operations in Syria to prevent that country from becoming a front against us,’ Netanyahu told reporters during a visit to northern Israel… ‘We also do everything to prevent weapons, particularly lethal ones, being moved from Syria to Lebanon,’ he added… Netanyahu did not provide further details and his comments were the first public recognition that Israel has been active in conflict-riddled Syria.”

CDC LogoCDC exposed as private corporation colluding with Big Pharma to defraud American taxpayers: see the evidence – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “The first and most obvious clue that the CDC isn’t what it appears on the surface is the fact that this supposed government agency is listed in the official Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) directory as a for-profit corporation… An investigation by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) found that three key “scientists” who helped develop official swine flu policy for the World Health Organization (WHO), recommending that practically everyone be vaccinated, received cash payments from both Roche and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), two pharmaceutical giants that manufacture swine flu vaccines… These two companies, as reported by The Guardian in 2010, paid off policymakers in multiple countries, including in the U.S. (at the CDC), to write the WHO’s guidelines for swine flu that pushed dangerous swine flu vaccines on millions of people globally. With the help of the CDC and other corrupt agencies, these pharmaceutical corporations pocketed billions of dollars.”

AMA prepares gag order for medical dissenters – from NaturalNews.com – “The American Medical Association’s latest attempt to shore up their medical monopoly could have stiff consequences for practitioners who don’t toe the line… Angered by what they call “quack MDs,” the AMA recently decided to “actively defend the profession.” In particular, it plans to: ‘create ethical guidelines for physicians in the media, write a report on how doctors may be disciplined for violating medical ethics through their press involvement, and release a public statement denouncing the dissemination of dubious medical information through the radio, TV, newspapers, or websites.’ ”

Loretta_LynchObama’s Attorney General Promises to Criminalize Speech – Says “violent” language directed at Muslims unacceptable – by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars.com – “Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Thursday at the Muslim Advocate’s 10th anniversary dinner she will take aggressive action against the ‘incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric.’.. She told the group ‘we stand with you’ and promised the Justice Department will protect Muslims from “violence” and discrimination… ‘When we talk about the First Amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American,’ said Lynch. ‘They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.’.. Lynch did not clarify what ‘actions predicated on violent talk’ means and did not draw a line between constitutionally protected free speech and violence. She also did not pinpoint individuals or groups she believes participate in ‘violent talk.’ “

Erdogan Blackmails NATO Allies – by Mike Whitney, CounterPunch via InformationClearingHouse.info – “The downside is that now Washington finds itself backed against the wall with precious few options that don’t involve a direct confrontation with Moscow. Of course, all of this could have been avoided had the White House been more eager to negotiate a settlement to the conflict months earlier in Vienna. But, instead, the bullheaded Obama team decided to stick with its dreary “Assad must go” mantra which put the kibosh on any long-term agreement or ceasefire proposal. So now, the Russian-led coalition has made significant gains on the ground, retaking numerous key cities, highways and airbases in the west and south while sending US-backed terrorists fleeing eastward towards Raqqa. These developments have forced Washington into a fallback position that will likely entail air-support for Turkish ground forces who will be deployed to Northern Syria to take and hold area sufficient for a “safe zone”, which is an innocuous sounding moniker the media invokes to conceal the fact that Turkey plans to annex sovereign Syrian territory which, by the way, is an act of war.”

Drone_WhistleblowersKiller Drone News Blackout Continues As Mainstream Media Ignore 4 Whistleblowers – by John Hanrahan, ExposeFacts.org – “This time, the major media chose to ignore four former Air Force drone-war personnel who went public with an open letter to President Obama. The letter urged the President to reconsider a program that killed “innocent civilians,” and which ‘only fueled the feelings of hatred that ignited terrorism and groups like ISIS, while also serving as a fundamental recruiting tool [for extremists] similar to Guantanamo Bay.’.. Now it’s not every day that four former drone operators go public with their anguish-filled stories of the drone program killing innocent people and creating blowback against the United States… In fact, there has not been any day like that. Until now, that has never happened. You would think that this would meet some textbook definition of news — something new, uncommon, dramatic and consequential.”

That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.’.. ‘Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,’– NASA… ‘Global sea level is less sensitive to high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations than previously thought.’– Stanford, Geology, August, 2015… Island nations not sinking: ‘No islands have been lost, the majority have enlarged, and there has been a 7.3% increase in net island area over the past century (A.D. 1897–2013). There is no evidence of heightened erosion over the past half-century as sea-level rise accelerated. Reef islands in Funafuti continually adjust their size, shape, and position in response to variations in boundary conditions, including storms, sediment supply, as well as sea level. Results suggest a more optimistic prognosis for the habitability of atoll nations.’ (Geology, March, 2015)”

Eyewitness to terror attack: ‘Three tall white men did it’ – by Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub.com – “We now know that ATF investigators recovered police issued firearms from the alleged shooters. This key detail was leaked by 2016 GOP Presidential Candidate Carly Fiorina during a press interview after she had overheard a newsroom report that doesn’t fit the official narrative… We also know that active shooter drills actually took place near the crime scene just days before and possibly even on the same day of the mass shooting as reported by Mac Slavo… Additionally details from an eyewitness, who came forth on the day of the shooting, may have been overlooked by investigators and suggest that there were actually ‘three white shooters’ instead of the radicalized husband and wife natural-born killer team portrayed in some mainline reports.” Video: Witness describes the San Bernardino shooting – ” Sally Abdelmageed works at the Inland Regional Center and saw the attackers enter the building. Scott Pelley spoke with her by phone.’

The RealTruth Blog Award for the Best Article on Syria this week goes to: The Empire Strikes Back – Week Nine of the Russian Intervention in Syria – by The Saker, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Political sanctions: here Russia will use one of her most terrifying weapons: the truth. The Russian military presented a devastating series of photos and videos shot by Russian air and space assets proving that Turkey does, indeed, purchase oil from Daesh. What was especially shocking about this evidence is that it showed the truly immense scale of the smuggling: one photo showed 1’722 oil trucks in in Deir Ez-Zor region while another one showed 8’500 oil tankers are used by Daesh to transport up 200’000 barrels of oil. What these figures mean is that not only is this smuggling organized at the level of the Turkish state, but it is also absolutely obvious that the USA knows everything about it… Predictably, the western media made no mention of the actual evidence, it only spoke of “images the Russians claim to show”, but the damage is still done, especially in the long term. Now everybody with a modicum of intelligence knows that Erdogan is a lying crook. More importantly, it has now become undeniable that Turkey is not only an ally, but a patron and sponsor of Daesh. Finally, in the light of this evidence, it also becomes rather obvious why Turkey decided to shoot down the Russian SU-24: because the Russians were bombing the Daesh to Turkey smuggling routes.”

Bilal Erdogan: The Real ISIS Oil Minister – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – ” ‘Bilal Erdogan owns several maritime companies. He has allegedly signed contracts with European operating companies to carry Iraqi stolen oil to different Asian countries. The Turkish government buys Iraqi plundered oil which is being produced from the Iraqi seized oil wells. Bilal Erdogan’s maritime companies own special wharfs in Beirut and Ceyhan ports that are transporting ISIS’ smuggled crude oil in Japan-bound oil tankers.’ -William F. Engdahl… Vice President of the Turkish Republican People’s Party (CHP), Gursel Tekin has even stated on record that the oil was being smuggled into to Turkey via BMZ, a shipping company owned by Bilal Erdogan. He stated that ‘President Erdogan claims that according to international transportation conventions there is no legal infraction concerning Bilal’s illicit activities and his son is doing an ordinary business with the registered Japanese companies, but in fact Bilal Erdogan is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution.’.. He also said that ‘a family business and president Erdogan’s close relatives hold shares in BMZ and they misused public funds and took illicit loans from Turkish banks.’ ”

Britain’s secret ties to governments, firms behind ISIS oil sales – from OsNetDaily.com – “The paper by George Kiourktsoglou, Lecturer in Maritime Security and former Royal Dutch Shell strategist, and Dr Alec Coutroubis, Acting Head at the Faculty of Engineering and Science, attempted to identify suspicious patterns in the illicit oil trade… Their extraordinary study, published by Maritime Security Review in March, examined the international route used by ISIS, based on “a string of trading hubs” comprising the localities of Sanliura, Urfa, Hakkari, Siirt, Batman, Osmaniya, Gaziantep, Sirnak, Adana, Kahramarmaras, Adiyaman and Mardin. ‘The string of trading hubs ends up in Adana [in southeast Turkey], home to the major tanker shipping port of Ceyhan.’.. By comparing spikes in tanker charter rates from Ceyhan with a timeline of ISIS activities, the University of Greenwich analysis identified significant correlations between the two. Whenever the Islamic State fights ‘in the vicinity of an area hosting oil assets, the… exports from Ceyhan promptly spike. This may be attributed to an extra boost given to crude oil smuggling with the aim of immediately generating additional funds.’ “

The United States does not have a UN mandate for interventing in the Syria war… The airport will help enable Washington to add an additional safe place to land its forces, commando units for instance, and bring in military support to its allies who are working to finalize control over Southern Hasaka countryside, al-Akhbar said… The report came over a week after the Kurdish region said that the US and Kurdish forces were working together to construct a 10 hectare military airbase South of the town of Rimelan in the village of Rimelan al-Basha… ‘American experts are directly supervising the airbase with a Kurdish workforce,’ the reports claimed, saying that US unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) had been flown from the facility to test it.”

Turkey-torches_Russian_JetRussian foreign minister calls plane downing ‘planned provocation’ – by Andrew Roth, Hugh Naylor and Brian Murphy, WashingtonPost.com – “The Kremlin sharpened its accusations Wednesday in the wake of Turkey’s downing of a Russian warplane, as Moscow’s top diplomat called the incident a “planned provocation” that has dealt a major blow to already fragile relations with NATO… But Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also tamped down speculation of a military response by Russia after the jet broke apart in flames along the Turkish-Syrian border. ‘We’re not going to war against Turkey,’ he said after talks with his Turkish counterpart… Still, Russia moved to strengthen its forces in Syria, saying new anti-missile systems would be deployed at an air base less than 20 miles from the Turkish frontier… ‘We have serious doubts this was an unintended incident and believe this is a planned provocation,’ Lavrov said after discussions with Turkey’s foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu… Stoltenberg-Lying_LiarRussian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday warned that the “damage will be hard to repair.” Russian officials have raised possible responses such as a ban on Turkish airlines or canceling a proposed gas pipeline between the two countries. ‘We cannot leave what happened without a response,’ added Lavrov… Lavrov said the plane was fired on after ‘making extremely effective strikes on the oil tanker trucks and oil fields.’.. On Russian television, the surviving pilot, Capt. Konstantin Murakhtin, echoed the Russian version of events. Murakhkin claimed that he never left Syrian airspace and did not receive any warnings from the Turkish side… After an emergency NATO meeting Tuesday, the alliance’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said intelligence reports confirmed Turkey’s version of events and rejected Russia’s claim that its aircraft was flying over Syria and had not crossed into Turkish airspace… ‘The information we have from other allies is consistent with what we have got from Turkey,’ Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels.” (emph. added)

Russian Defense Ministry Video Proves Su-24 Never Entered Turkish Airspace (w/video)– by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – ” flight data released by Russian Ministry of Defense shows that the Su-24s never entered Turkey, and were attacked while performing legitimate maneuvers over Syria… On Tuesday, Turkish F-16s shot down a Russian Su-24M Fencer bomber. One of the pilots has been confirmed dead by Russian authorities, shot by rebel ground units after ejecting… Russian President Vladimir Putin described the incident as a ‘stab in the back, carried out against us by accomplices of terrorists.’..While authorities in Ankara have insisted that it shot down the Russian Su-24 bomber after the aircraft entered Turkish airspace, the Russian Defense Ministry has released video proving that the plane never left Syrian airspace.”

Konstantin_Murakhtin-Russ_NavigatorTurkish military releases recording of warning to Russian jet – Surviving crew member of downed plane is rescued in 12-hour mission and says there were no warnings – by Shaun Walkerand Kareem Shaheen, TheGuardian.com – “A voice on the Turkish recording can be heard saying “change your heading”. But Konstantin Murakhtin, a navigator who was rescued in a joint operation by Syrian and Russian commandos, told Russian media: ‘There were no warnings, either by radio or visually. There was no contact whatsoever.’.. He also denied entering Turkish airspace. ‘I could see perfectly on the map and on the ground where the border was and where we were. There was no danger of entering Turkey,’ he said… The apparent hardening of both countries’ versions of events came as Russian warplanes carried out heavy raids in Syria’s northern Latakia province, where the plane came down. Tuesday’s incident – the first time a Nato member state has shot down a Russian warplane since the Korean war – risks provoking a clash over the ongoing conflict in Syria, where Russia has intervened… The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, repeated his insistence that the Russian jet was in Turkish airspace when it was shot down and said parts of the wreckage fell into Turkey, injuring two people. Ankara had no wish to escalate the incident and was only defending “our own security and the rights of our brothers” in Syria, he said… In Moscow, a crowd of youths gathered outside the Turkish embassy and threw rocks. Some of the ground-floor windows in the building were broken. Police at the scene did not make arrests, according to witnesses… A Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, hit out at the US state department official Mark Toner, who said the Turkmen fighters who shot the Russian airman as he parachuted to the ground could have been acting in self defence. ‘Remember these words, remember them forever. I will never forget them, I promise,’ Zakharova wrote on Facebook.” (emph. added)

White House Gave ISIS 45 Minute Warning Before Bombing Oil Tankers – Why did it take 15 months for the U.S. to target the Islamic State’s oil infrastructure? – by Paul Joseph Watson,PrisonPlanet.com – “While it took the U.S. fifteen months to even begin targeting ISIS’ oil refineries and tankers, air strikes by Moscow destroyed more than 1,000 tankers in a period of just five days… In comparison, Col. Steve Warren said that the U.S. had taken out only 116 tanker trucks, the “first strike” to target ISIS’ lucrative black market oil business, which funds over 50 per cent of the terror group’s activities… U.S. air strikes targeting ISIS oil assets are so rare that PBS was caught using footage of Russian fighter jets bombing an oil storage facility in Syria and passing it off as evidence of the U.S. targeting the Islamic State’s oil infrastructure… U.S. military pilots have also confirmed that they were ordered not to drop 75 per cent of their ordnance on ISIS targets because they could not get clearance from their superiors… $800,000,000 worth of ISIS oil has been sold in Turkey, a supposed U.S. ally. ISIS trucks are routinely allowed to cross back and forth between the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa and Turkey, while the NATO country facilitates black market oil sales on behalf of the terror group… As Nafeez Ahmed documents, a large cache of intelligence recovered from a raid on an ISIS safehouse this summer confirms that ‘direct dealings between Turkish officials and ranking ISIS members was now ‘undeniable.’ ‘ “

Robert_FordFormer US Ambassador to Syria: Russia Culpable for Paris Attacks Because It Supports Assad – Incredible mental gymnastics by former US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford. Take a bow, sir – by Rudy Panko, Russia-Insider.com – “Former Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford is skeptical that the Russians are really changing their stance about Assad, and as long as Assad is in place, the armed opposition will not mobilize to fight against the Islamic State… ‘Do you really think the Russians care anything about Paris?’ Ford asks. ‘The way of proving it would be getting rid of Assad. But maybe Putin is like Donald Rumsfeld. You don’t fight the Islamic state with the Syrian leader you want; you fight it with the Syrian leader you have.’.. Just…wow.”

ISIS-Oil_Depot-DestroyedRussians Wipe Out US Protected ISIS -Erdogan Oil Depot – More huge ISIS oil facilities the US, through agreements with Turkey, had protected – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – “Russian military jets destroyed an ISIL ammunition depot and groups of al-Nusra Front terrorists in Syria, Konashenkov said…’“Outside the town of Al-Qaryatein, in the province of Homs, a Russian Su-24M bomber destroyed a grounded ammo depot. A pinpoint strike by an OFAB-250-270 air bomb explosives detonated, and the depot was totally destroyed.’.. He underscored that outside the town of Zaitan in the province of Idlib a squadron of Su-25 ground attack jets carried out airstrikes against groups of al-Nusra Front militants… ‘The direct hits of Russian air bombs destroyed one tank, two armored vehicles, and three mortar-carrying vehicles. The enemy sustained serious losses in personnel,’ he added… The Russian aviation continued to carry out airstrikes against oil refining facilities of the Islamic State (ISIL) terrorist group in Syria, spokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry told journalists… ‘On November 24, a Russian Su-34 bomber conducted an airstrike against a motorcade of oil-loading trucks and oil refining and storage facilities near the oil fields in northern and eastern Syria, in the province of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa,’ he said.”

Russia: ‘No more talk of ‘moderate rebels,’ the gloves are off – Russia says it can prove US backed “moderates” murdered Russian pilot…and America will be held accountable – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – ” ‘If a strike was delivered at those who conducted an operation against terrorists, how else can the actions of that side by described? As those of accomplices of terrorists – unambiguously, there’s no other variant here,’ Zakharova said… (She) pointed out Turkey is using all available methods to protect armed criminals… ‘We assume that Ankara does not care for the fate of civilians but is concerned with the future of those whose faces everybody had a chance to see in a footage distributed by the world media after the Turkish Air Force had downed the Russian jet,’ the Russian diplomat went on to say… ‘The people whom Ankara is trying to protect by using all available methods, some of which are criminal, have got nothing to do with peaceful civilians. We are talking about armed cutthroats who shot a Russian pilot and then mocked at his dead body,’ Zakharova stressed… According to the spokeswoman, Russia is expecting statements from Turkey on what Ankara’s attitude is toward people who mocked the body of a killed Russian pilot… ‘If these are not people Ankara protects, then we are expecting relevant denials from Turkey’s official structures,’ Zakharova said. ‘We are expecting explanations.’.. ‘We have all the data to believe that the US State Department has information on who these people are,” she said. ‘We are waiting for corresponding statements from the US State Department. Who, after all, are these people who danced around the body of the Russian pilot?’ she said.

Turkish_Aid_ConvoyTurks Fuming as Russians Obliterate Their WMD Convoy to ISIS – TOW missiles and Sarin gas supplies for al Qaeda and ISIS destroyed, Turkey may demand reparations – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – “A Turkish convoy, which according to some reports was transporting weapons to terrorist organizations, has been hit by apparent airstrikes in northwestern Syria… Footage released online by the Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) shows plumes of smoke from the burning trucks and people running about in panic. At least 20 trucks were engulfed in flames – (Note: Murdered Detroit born Serena Shim was investigating IHH for smuggling Sarin gas when she was killed by Turkish intelligence officers on October 19, 2014 – ed) – The mission, however, wasn’t sponsored or organized by the IHH, the group said. No organization has as yet confirmed that the convoy belonged to them… At least seven people were killed and 10 injured in the incident, according to the Turkish Anadolu agency. The trucks were reportedly heading to the town of Azaz in northwestern Syria… Since the news emerged, media has been furiously speculating about who was behind the attack, what the trucks were transporting, what the convoy’s humanitarian mission was, or maybe it was carrying a more sinister load. One of the aid workers who survived the incident said the trucks had been deliberately targeted, Reuters reported… The nature of the ‘humanitarian aid’ is also in question. Turkish media and the IHH say the trucks were transporting humanitarian aid to refugees in Azaz. However, the Turkish Cumhuriyet newspaper cited sources close to the Syrian government saying the convoy was delivering weapons to terrorist organizations.”

Turkey Shoots Down More Than Just a Russian Jet – by Finian Cunningham, InformationClearingHouse.info – “It is significant that following the incident Turkey immediately called for an emergency NATO summit to confer with the 27 other members of the US-led military alliance. If the shoot-down was simply a random act carried out in the spur of the moment, then why didn’t Ankara get in touch with Moscow to iron things out and express condolences? Instead, as Putin noted, the Turks ran off to NATO without even as much as a call to Moscow… The deadly attack against Russian forces occurred on the same day that French President Francois Hollande met with Barack Obama in Washington to discuss closer military cooperation with Russia in the supposed fight against Islamic State terrorism in Syria… Obama politely, but firmly, rebuffed the French leader’s proposal for a grand coalition that would include Russia. Hollande was waved off with an earful of platitudes. And Turkey’s shooting down of the Russian fighter jet – only hours before Hollande was received at the White House – appears to have been timed in order to emphatically put paid to any idea of working more closely with Moscow to combat terrorism in Syria.”

Cameron-FecklessBritish PM sets out plans for Syrian partition and moves against Russia – by Julie Hyland, WSWS.org – “Extraordinarily, Cameron made no mention of the downing of the Russian jet in either his statement to parliament or his 36-page reply to the select committee report. Instead, the prime minister extolled the virtues of the so-called Vienna Process—talks involving Russia and the US for a “transitional” government of national unity—even as it was being blown out the skies… This is not merely an attempt to avoid certain uncomfortable truths. It is a conscious and wilful deception of the British public as to the advanced dangers of a new world war being prepared by imperialist intrigue… The prime minister’s oral and written presentation heaped one lie upon another. He claimed that the terror attacks in Paris provided a “moral case” for British military action. ‘If we cannot act now, when France has been attacked, when would we act?’ ”

US deploys dozens of ground troops to Syria – from PressTV.ir – “The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that 30 US soldiers arrived in the northern city of Kobani over the past two days, AFP reported… The troops will allegedly help plan attacks against the Takfiris in the two Syrian cities of Jarablus and Raqqah… Kurdish sources also announced that some 20 US soldiers arrived in Hasakeh province in eastern Syria… A top official told the BBC that this does not indicate a change in US strategy, but an “intensification” of the military campaign… The presence of US troops on the ground in Syria lacks any mandate from the Syrian government. Damascus says it is a violation of its sovereignty.”

Mustafa_Abdulcemil_CemilogluNATO Provokes Russia In Crimea As Syria Tensions Rise – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “After “mysterious” blasts that took place in the Kherson region of Ukraine over the weekend leaving nearly two million citizens without power in the recently annexed Russian territory, the Ukrainian government is now officially halting aid shipments as “activists” inside Crimea are blocking the repair of the power lines… Shortly thereafter, groups of “activists” made up of Crimean Tatars have taken to protest and have blocked the repair crews from restoring power to the areas currently suffering from the outage. The demands of the “activists” are that a tougher line be taken against Moscow. This “tougher line” essentially means doing more to “restore” Crimea to Ukraine and to “take it back” from Russia… This is not the first political act groups of Tatars have committed in this regard. Ever since September, Tatar “activists” have stalked the border between Crimea and mainland Ukraine and have attempted to block commercial trucks from entering the peninsula… On August 1-2, a meeting was convened at the Hotel Billkent in Ankara, Turkey and was labeled the Second World Congress of the Tatars. This meeting brought together over 200 Tatar NGOs and associations from all over the world. The event was also attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin and Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus. Both officials participated in the event as well… At the meeting, it was announced by Mustafa Abdulcemil Cemiloglu, acting leader of the Crimean Tatars as decreed by Ukrainian President Poroshenko, the creation of a “Muslim Brigade” to oppose “Crimean separatism,” as well as “human trafficking” and the “transportation of goods near conflict zones.” In other words, the creation of a terrorist brigade to combat Russian involvement in Crimea and pro-Russian sentiment and activism in the area.” (emph. added)

antarctica-ice-w-text-NASAWith Ice Growing at Both Poles, Global Warming Theories Implode – by Alex Newman, NewAmerican.com – “In the United States, meanwhile, as the evidence continues to contradict the alarmist predictions, polls consistently show that a solid majority of Americans reject the UN’s man-made global-warming theories. Like the UN, however, Obama continues to act as if the discredited theories were gospel, promising to save humanity from their carbon sins by lawlessly bypassing the U.S. Senate and the Constitution to foist a planetary “climate” regime on the American people. Lawmakers have vowed to prevent any such schemes, but it remains unclear how far the White House is willing to push the issue. After failing even with a Democrat-controlled Congress, the EPA is already working to impose Obama’s anti-CO2 schemes on America by executive decree… With the evidence discrediting UN global-warming theories literally piling up on both ends of the Earth and everywhere in between, alarmists face an increasingly Herculean task in their bid to shackle humanity to a “climate” regime at next year’s UN summit in Paris. However, to protect the public — and especially the poor — from the devastation such a planetary scheme would entail, Americans must continue to expose the baseless alarmism underpinning what countless scientists now refer to as the “climate scam.” ”

NOAA’s climate change science fiction – The environmental intelligence agency ignores satellite data – by Lamar Smith, WashingtonTimes.com – “Atmospheric satellite data, considered by many to be the most objective, has clearly showed no warming for the past two decades. This fact is well documented, but has been embarrassing for an administration determined to push through costly environmental regulations… Instead, NOAA focused its study on surface temperature monitoring that is often flawed because these sites measure thousands of independent temperature readings and utilize a hodgepodge of different methods that have changed over time. For example, measurements from land-based stations can be skewed because of their location and proximity to surrounding heat-holding asphalt in urban areas… Satellite data, on the other hand, is highly calibrated and provides complete global coverage. For decades, satellites have been used to monitor the earth and collect information. Satellites measure something extremely important — the deep atmosphere. The temperature readings collected by satellites often differ from ground monitoring stations and have consistently shown much smaller rates of warming. Yet NOAA refuses to incorporate satellite data into its monthly projections that are released to the public. Why?”

Pepe EscobarWhy Turkey Stabbed Russia in the Back – by Pepe Escobar, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Turkmen villages also sprout north of Idlib province, west of Aleppo, as well as north of Latakia province, west of Idlib. And it’s here where we find a rarely discussed bunch: a gaggle of Turkmen militias… The myth of innocent Turkmen civilians being slaughtered by the “Assad regime” is, well, a myth. In Washington these militias are considered “moderate rebels” – as much as they have merged with all sorts of jihadi or jihadi-gobbled outfits, from the ever pliable construct Free Syrian Army to Jabhat al-Nusra, a.k.a. al-Qaida in Syria (which Vienna finally branded a terrorist group)… The bottom line is that Turkey and Russia simply cannot be part of the same coalition fighting the Islamic State group because their objectives are diametrically opposed… Predictably, Turkish media hails all these Turkmen as “freedom fighters,” a la Ronald Reagan in the 1980s jihad Afghan. Turkish media spins the whole of their territory is controlled by an “innocent” Turkmen opposition, and not the Islamic State group. Not the Islamic State group, yes, but mostly al-Nusra, which is virtually the same thing.”

Putin Accuses Obama Of Leaking Flight Details To Turkey After Russia – by Tyler Durden, InformationClearingHouse.info – “But while the reason behind the S-400 deployment was largely known to most, where Putin’s press conference took an unexpected detour was what he said just around 20:30 in, when in not so many words, Putin effectively accused the US of leaking the coordinates of the Russian plane to Turkey, which was merely a hitman acting with the blessing of the Pentagon… This is what Putin said: ‘We told our US partners in advance where, when at what altitudes our pilots were going to operate. The US-led coalition, which includes Turkey, was aware of the time and place where our planes would operate. And this is exactly where and when we were attacked. Why did we share this information with the Americans? Either they don’t control their allies, or they just pass this information left and right without realizing what the consequences of such actions might be. We will have to have a serious talk with our US partners.’ ”

Salah_AbdeslamDecoding the Paris Attacks: ISIS Blowback or French-Israeli False Flag? – by Brandon Martinez, NonAlignedMedia.com – “More anomalies deserve exploration. A story from the Associated Press titled “‘I have no explanation’: Key suspect in Paris theatre attack was questioned – then released by police” points out a severe oddity that has yet to be explained. The article states that “[h]ours after the synchronized attacks that terrorized Paris, French police questioned and released the suspect who is now the focus of an international manhunt.” The suspect in question, Salah Abdeslam, was said to be “one of three men in a getaway car, headed for France’s border with Belgium, when police pulled them over after daybreak Saturday.” The article continues: ‘The French president had already announced new border controls to prevent the perpetrators from escaping. Hours had passed since investigators identified Abdelslam as the renter of a Volkswagen Polo that carried hostage-takers to the Paris theatre where almost three-quarters of the 129 victims were killed. It’s not clear why the local French police, known as gendarmes, didn’t take Abdeslam into custody. They checked his identification, but it’s not known whether they had been informed of his apparent connection to the attacks.’ ”

US urges Turkey to close off its Syrian border to ISIS – from RT.com – “The Obama administration is urging Turkey to ensure Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria receives no supplies through the Turkish border, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources in Washington. The request involves sealing off part of the frontier between the western Turkish town of Kilis and Jarabulus in eastern Syrian… ‘The game has changed. Enough is enough! The border needs to be sealed,’ the WSJ cited a senior Obama administration official as saying in a message from the US government to Turkey. ‘This is an international threat, and it’s all coming out of Syria and it’s coming through Turkish territory.’.. ‘Turkey is determined to clean Daesh (Arabic acronym for Islamic State) from the 98 kilometers of border between Kilis and Jarabulus,’ a senior Turkish government official said as cited by the WSJ. ‘There is no need to receive any kind of warning or advice from anyone, including our US partners.’.. ‘Just closing down the border would not be enough to solve our problems and would not address Turkey’s demands,’ a Turkish official said.” – Note: If you really believe that Turkey will seal off their border to movement of fighters and supplies into Syria, I have some swampland in Florida you may be interested in.

NATO’s Terror Convoys Halted at Syrian Border – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Obviously, any nation truly interested in defeating ISIS would attack it at its very source – its supply lines. Military weaponry may have changed over the centuries, but military strategy, particularly identifying and severing an enemy’s supply lines is a tried and true method of achieving victory in any conflict… Russia, therefore, would find these convoys a natural target and would attempt to hit them as close to the Syrian-Turkish border as possible, to negate any chance the supplies would successfully reach ISIS’ hands. Russian President Vladmir Putin noted, regarding the Azaz convoy in particular, that if the convoy was legitimately carrying aid, it would have been declared, and its activities made known to all nations operating military aircraft in the region… The trucks hit in the recent airstrikes, just as they were during the DW investigation, were carrying concrete and steel, not “milk and diapers” as the West would lead audiences to believe. That the supplies were passing through a “rebel” controlled crossing means that the supplies were surely headed to “rebel” controlled territory – either Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front in the west, or ISIS in the east… Russian airstrikes insured that the supplies reached neither.”

US-Turkey Edging Up to Syrian Border – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Increasing pressure from Washington on Ankara appears directly proportional not to America’s will to defeat ISIS, but the to the necessity of addressing growing public awareness that indeed, ISIS is being supported from beyond Syria’s borders by certain state sponsors and not from within Syria itself… That coincidentally the same number of troops needed to invade and occupy northern Syria have been called up to line the Turkish-Syria border to “secure it” is likely not a coincidence at all. In all likelihood, the West would like to attempt to make an incursion into Syria under the guise of having been provoked at the border, and then “needing” to cross over into Syria to pursue the provocateurs… The United States and Turkey, with their ambush of a Russian Su-24 over Syria, have proven just how far the West is willing to go to get an advantage, even superficially, over Russia, even if it means resorting to extreme treachery. Another “power move” wrung from this impending “border operation” seems all but inevitable.”

Gearóid_Ó_ColmáinVideo: Globalist Racketeering: Gearóid Ó Colmáin Reveals the Deep State Agenda Behind the Paris Attacks – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “Sometimes, ‘saying the unsayable’ can be very unpopular in mainstream public discourse, but when events come to a head – and governments partner international racketeering syndicates to carrying out terrorist attacks against their own people – then it’s time to give the truth the platform it deserves… Gearóid Ó Colmáin is a writer and political analyst based in Paris. In this recent interview segment with RT International, he reveals a number of uncomfortable truths about this week’s alleged “ISIS Attacks” in Paris that have seemingly plunged Europe and North America into a pit of mass hysteria, Islamophobia, forced migration, war-hawking, rampant political opportunism and intellectual terrorism…”

NOAA climate feud: Pursuit of scientific truth vs. public accountability – by Lisa Rein, WashingtonPost.com – “The flash point in the feud between House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is a congressional subpoena. The congressman, a prominent global warming skeptic, is demanding that the government turn over its scientists’ internal exchanges and communications with NOAA’s top political appointees… Smith believes this information, showing the researchers’ deliberative process, will prove that they altered data to fit President Obama’s climate agenda when they refuted claims in a peer-reviewed study in the journal Science that global warming had “paused” or slowed over the last decade… ‘These are government employees who changed data to show more climate change,’ the chairman said in a statement to The Washington Post. ‘Americans deserve to understand why this decision was made. Despite what some critics claim, the subpoena is not only about scientists. Political operatives and other NOAA employees likely played a large role in approving NOAA’s decision to adjust data that allegedly refutes the hiatus in warming.’ ”

U.S., Turkey Joint Operation Designed To Save ISIS, Not Destroy It – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “On November 7, Webster Tarpley and the Tax Wall Street party wrote in their Daily Briefing that “Resistance to this urgently needed policy will inevitably come from Erdogan of Turkey.” Tarpley and the TWSP cited a report by Aaron Stein of War on the Rocks, which stated: ‘Turkey has made one thing very clear: It will not tolerate a YPG presence west of the Euphrates, and will therefore not accept a Kurdish-led offensive on the ISIS-held city of Jarablus, or any YPG-led effort to unite its territory with the Kurdish-controlled enclave in Efrin in northwestern Syria. In the days before the election, the Turkish military fired upon YPG forces trying to cross the Euphrates, ostensibly to shore up their front line with the Islamic State.’.. Turkey has long feared the creation of a Kurdistan in Northern Syria, particularly because the creation of such an entity would not only inflame the tensions between the Turkish Kurds and the Turkish government but would essentially carve out a good portion of Turkish territory. With the establishment of a Kurdistan virtually anywhere in the region but especially on the Turkish border or in Turkey itself, Erdogan’s foolish dreams of being the new Ottoman emperor will fade away.”

HIGH ALERT: Paris Climate Change Summit To Be Cancelled Or Thwarted? – An Open Letter to the World Community of Nations – from StateOfTheNation2012.com – “No one disputes that there have been radical alterations of weather patterns around the world. Nor would anyone disagree with the observation that climate trends have experienced dramatic changes. Truly, the atmospheric conditions of planet Earth have entered a period of great flux and unpredictability. However, the most obvious causes are steadfastly avoided by those in positions of power and influence… Global Climate Change: Geoengineering Threatens The Entire Planetary Civilization… Because of this intensifying planetary predicament We the People strongly feel that it is high time to get it right. Failure to do so may push the Earth past critical points of no return which will then be felt by all future generations. When the very integrity of the biosphere is at stake, it is clear that the fate of the planet hangs in the balance, as does the future of humanity.”

COP21-EiffelCOP 21: UN Plan to Make Legally Binding Climate Change Laws – Worldwide – by Makia Freeman, ActivistPost.com – “The more you look, the more you find dissenters from all over the Earth who are speaking out against the highly politicized AGW climate change movement as COP 21 approaches. Unfortunately for the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the UN, the IPCC and all their stooges and mouthpieces, the UN has failed to achieve consensus (one of its favorite buzzwords) on climate change, and the science is settled only in one way – showing that the world is not really warming at all, and that man’s contribution to climate change is insignificant. There are a plethora of dissenting individuals, scientists and organizations with massive research behind them showing that AGW is a political movement to usher in global governance: – NIPCC: The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change is an international panel of nongovernment scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change. They published the 2009 report Climate Change Reconsidered which they claim “is the most comprehensive critique of the IPCC’s positions ever published. It lists 35 contributors and reviewers from 14 countries and presents in an appendix the names of 31,478 American scientists who have signed a petition saying ‘there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate’.”; – 1000+ dissenting scientists: as of 2010, there were more than 1000 international scientists (up from 700) who came out and publicly went on the record to state that AGW is a flawed model. The list includes many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC”

Obama_SignsPresidential Executive Orders Challenged by the Courts – by Catherine Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “An interesting turn of legal events has rained on President Obama’s Executive Orders parade recently when the U.S. Fifth Circuit of Appeals blocked a series of Presidential Executive Orders regarding immigration on Friday, November 6th!.. In a two-to-one vote in Texas v. United States, President Obama came out on the short end of the stick, but promises an appeal, which I find equally interesting insofar as it’s been adjudicated that his actions on immigration have been ruled unconstitutional. [1] So, what’s to appeal; isn’t the U.S. Constitution the framework of our democratic republic? He’s not king or dictator—yet—or is he?.. This issue validates the rationale for Presidential Executive Orders to be nullified and voided because, in essence, they make One-Man Dictatorial Rule, which is not what the USA form of government is; what we vote for; or should be according to our founding documents, including the USA NOT becoming a One World Order domain.”

Hidden Cameras Being Used to Measure and Manipulate Political Views Around the World – by Nicholas West, ActivistPost.com – “As if the passive collection of this type of data would not be concerning enough, there are indications that it will go further into an area that decidedly can be called mind control. The Times reveals that the above-mentioned 2012 Mexico campaign of Enrique Peña Nieto not only used biometric data collection methods as part of their political election strategy, but does so for actual governance: ‘In my government, we have utilized a variety of research tools and opinion studies to evaluate the efficacy of our governmental programs, communications and messages,’ said Francisco Olvera Ruiz, the governor of the Mexican state of Hidalgo and a governing party member. ‘Neuroscience research,’ he added, is ‘especially valuable because it has allowed us to discover with more precision and objectivity what people think, perceive and feel.’ ”

Feds Used Monsanto-Funded Studies to Decide Monsanto’s Weed Killer Is Safe – by Jason Best, TakePart.com – ” ‘As a longtime Monsanto scientist who has spent my career studying the health and safety of pesticides, including glyphosate, I was happy to see that the safety profile of one of our products was upheld by an independent regulatory agency,’ Steve Levine, a senior science fellow at Monsanto, crowed on the company blog… The italics are mine. But heck, I thought I might as well just give them to Levine, because it becomes almost embarrassingly obvious that’s what he wants. He practically goes overboard in trying to sell you on the EPA’s objectivity—not only emphasizing the agency’s “independence” but calling its review “comprehensive” (twice) as well as “rigorous” and “science-based.”.. And yet… It doesn’t take more than five minutes poking around on Google or WorldCat to begin turning up fairly recent studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals that include sentences like ‘a growing body of knowledge suggests the predominance of endocrine disrupting mechanisms caused by environmentally relevant levels of exposure’ to glyphosate-based herbicides. So how can the EPA be so certain glyphosate isn’t an endocrine disruptor?.. Because, it seems, Monsanto and other chemical companies said so.”

Monsanto Crops Decimated by Pests – Meanwhile, Nearby Non-GMO Crops Thriving – by Justin Gardner, NaturalBlaze.com – “As a result of the whiteflies’ decimating Punjab’s GM cotton crops this year, at least 15 farmers committed suicide. And yes, it was Monsanto crops that were decimated… ‘Curiously, the crop in the adjoining field, and another in the vicinity, showed far less whitefly infestation. In fact, in the adjoining field, farmer Yadvender Singh had sprayed no chemical pesticides at all. Instead, he had used biofertilisers and other non-chemical formulations. Yadvender’s field is expected to yield 800 kg of cotton per acre compared to 300 kg that Manjeet would hope to harvest. In the other plot, a non-Bt variety of cotton too was far less affected by whitefly… ‘Yadvender’s field, where chemical pesticides were not used, showed spider webs on the plants. These are natural predators of whitefly. In fields where pesticide is heavily sprayed, these are decimated leaving the whitefly to flourish.’ ”

Democrats launch McCarthyist witchhunt against researchers questioning climate change agenda – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “As reported by Watchdog.org, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, is among a small group of Democrats who are demanding that colleges and universities turn over grants, congressional testimony and other activities from a group of professors and scientists who have testified at congressional climate hearings… The group, adds The College Fix, is being targeted because they don’t buy into the argument that climate change and global warming is occurring as a result of man-made activities.”

Israeli-jet-flag-traceIsrael Attacks Syria Near Damascus Airport: Reports – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “At this time, it remains unclear what the target of the attacks might have been – Syrian military installations, weapons depots, civilians/civilian infrastructure, or something else entirely. It also remains to be confirmed than an attack actually took place… There have been no immediate comments from the Syrian government as of this time… There is also the distinct possibility that this attack never actually took place since this writer could find no actual mention of the “Syrian media reports” cited in the flurry of international press accounts at the time of the writing of this article. Indeed, the “Syrian media reports” cited actually come from Israeli media who have cited only a ‘Facebook page associated with the regime.’.. Two weeks ago, Israel reportedly struck a “weapons convoy” in Syria, alleging that the convoy was destined to arm Hezbollah.”

Are We Training Cops to Be Hyper-Aggressive ‘Warriors’? – from RINF.com – “Thanks in large part to pressure brought by Black Lives Matter activists, some police experts are calling for a complete overhaul in the way cops are trained, both as cadets and during the “in-service” training they receive over the course of their careers. There are no national standards for training police, and the amount and quality of their instruction varies from agency to agency. But a survey of 280 police departments conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a Washington, DC–based think tank, found that American cops are given extensive preparation for using violence, and very little guidance on how to avoid it.”

Lindsey_Graham-FuryHouse Moves to Authorize Invasion of Syria and Iraq – by Kurt Nimmo, GovtSlaves.info – “A bipartisan group of thirty-five Democrats and Republicans sent a letter to Ryan calling for the vote… ‘We do not share the same policy prescriptions for U.S. military engagement in the region, but we do share the belief that it is past time for the Congress to fulfill its obligations under the Constitution and vote on an AUMF that clearly delineates the authority and limits, if any, on U.S. military engagement in Iraq, Syria and the surrounding region,’ the group wrote in a letter sent to the Speaker on Friday… A call for a new authorization for use of military force (AUMF) arose on November 4 when House members, primarily Democrats, argued the president lacks the constitutional authority to send special operations forces to Syria… The Obama administration argues it has the authority to send troops under the 2001 AUMF designed to respond to the Sept. 11 attacks… Republicans, led by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, believe a new AUMF is not required.”

Syrian_Army-Kuweires__US-Turkey Invasion Derailed by Syrian Army Triumph at Kuweires – by Mike Whitney, Counterpunch.org – “Erdogan needed the landslide victory to consolidate his power in Parliament and to persuade the military brass that he has a mandate to carry out his foreign policy. Obama’s phone call was intended to pave the way for backroom negotiations which would take place during next week’s G-20 meetings in Ankara. But now that the Russian-led coalition has retaken Kuweires, it is impossible to know how the US and Turkey will proceed. If Putin’s warplanes and artillery are able to seal the border, then Washington will have to scrap its plan for seizing the 60-miles stretch of northern Syria that’s needed to keep vital supplylines to US-backed jihadis open or to provide sanctuary for mercenaries returning from the frontlines. The changing battlescape will make a safe zone impossible to defend… The fact is, Kuweires changes everything. ISIS is on the run, the myriad other terrorist organizations are progressively losing ground, Assad is safe in Damascus, the borders will soon be protected, and the US-Turkey plan to invade has effectively been derailed. Barring some extraordinary, unforeseeable catastrophe that could reverse the course of events; it looks like the Russian-led coalition will eventually achieve its objectives and win the war.”

Iraqi Forces Find Turkish Weapons, Explosives at ISIL Hideouts – from english.FarsNews.com – “Meanwhile, al-Hashd al-Shaabi forces thwarted two attacks by ISIL terrorists on positions of the Iraqi forces in al-Fatha area, North of Tikrit, and the area of al-Sad /5/, West of Tikrit, the capital of Salahuddin province. The clashes lasted for hours and inflicted heavy losses on the terrorists… In Anbar, the Iraqi forces found dozens of barrels of Ammonium nitrate which turn into high explosives after mixing it with some materials… A military source said the barrels carried “Made in Turkey” labels and dated back to 2 months before the date of the seizure… The forces also found Turkish-made weapons, munitions and rockets in several areas in the provinces of Diyala and Salahuddin and in areas on the outskirts of the capital, Baghdad, during the liberation of those areas of the ISIL terrorists… Turkey has repeatedly claimed that it has no ties with ISIL and labels it as a “terrorist group”.”

Squatting-a-bargainWith the Economy in Shambles, More Americans Turn to Squatting – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “An entry on Wiki-How entices tells squatters how to ‘take a whole house from someone if you’re willing to take the risk.’.. It points out the best areas to squat and even advises to spruce up the home to throw off suspicious neighbors… It reads like squatters are terrorist cells distributing training manuals to take over or strike an attack… The weird lopsided report demonizes squatters as “arrogant” criminals who will be busted for their crimes, interviewing law enforcement about how to watch for and catch these “crooks.” It encourages residents in the community to spy on their neighbors, turn on suspected squatters and report potential signs of squatting to the police… Yet the story never attempts to address the point about why there are so many squatters in the first place. Not a mention of the wasteland that has driven millions of Americans into poverty. Not a single high-level banker jailed.”

Congress proposes a chilling resolution on Social Security – from SovereignMan.com – “In the 2015 report of the Social Security and Medicare Board of Trustees they state very plainly: ‘Social Security as a whole as well as Medicare cannot sustain projected long-run program costs…’, and that the government should be ‘giving the public adequate time to prepare.’.. Wow… Now, we always hear politicians say that ‘Social Security is going to be just fine’. So this Board of Trustees must be a bunch of wackos. Who are these guys anyhow?.. The Treasury Secretary of the United States of America, as it turns out. Along with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Secretary of Labor. Etc… These are the folks who sign their name to the report saying that Social Security is going bust, and that Congress needs to give people time to prepare… And prepare they should.”

Monsanto tells Mexican honey farmers: Don’t blame our soya seeds for your crop issues – from Reuters via RawStory.com – “Mexico’s Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked a move to allow the planting of genetically modified soya seeds in the southern Mexican states of Campeche and Yucatan, arguing that indigenous communities that had fought the move should be consulted before it was approved… Honey producers in the two states as well as the neighboring state of Quintana Roo had protested against the genetically modified soybean permits, arguing they created a contamination risks for their produce… Monsanto, which was on the court docket’s list of interested parties in the case, said in a statement Wednesday it respected the court’s decision and would wait to see the full text of the ruling… On Friday, in response to questions from Reuters, Monsanto denied any link between its soybean seeds and honey production woes… ‘We do not accept accusations that put us as responsible for deforestation and illegal logging in the municipality of Hopelchén, Campeche, or any place of the Republic, because our work is rigidly attached to the guidelines provided by law,’ the company said in a statement.”

Oil-Something_StrangeSomething Very Strange Is Taking Place Off The Coast Of Galveston, TX – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “As a result of all this, something very unusual going on off the coast of Galveston, where more than 39 crude tankers w/ combined cargo capacity of 28.4 million bbls wait near Galveston (Galveston is area where tankers can anchor before taking cargoes to refineries at Houston and other nearby plants), vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show, which compares w/ 30 vessels, 21 million bbls of capacity in May. Vessels wait avg of 5 days, compared w/ 3 days May…As AP puts it,a traffic jam of oil tankers is the latest sign of an unyielding global supply glut.”

Claim: Russia “Accidentally” Aired “Secret Nuclear Weapon Plans” on National TV (Oops) – by Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “One large document contained drawings of a new submarine-launched nuclear torpedo Russia is calling Status-6. The system includes nuclear subs that carry huge, self-propelled underwater long-range torpedo-shaped drones that can, according to the documents, travel 5,400 miles and create extensive, uninhabitable ‘zones of radioactive contamination.’.. Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent military analyst, claimed, ‘The plan is to deliver a 100-megaton nuclear bomb to the U.S. shores. It would cause a highly radioactive tsunami.’.. AP reported: ‘…it would be hard to imagine cameramen of state TV stations doing a close up on any documents on the table during a Kremlin meeting on military issues. Most saw the incident as a deliberate leak intended to warn Washington and its allies that Russia is working on a new devastating weapon that would tip the scales in case of conflict.’ ”

Parisians_rallyCONFIRMED: French Government Knew Extremists BEFORE Attack – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “In the coming hours and days, the French government and its various co-conspirators in their proxy war against Syria will propose a plan of action they claim will stem the terrorist threat France and the rest of Europe faces. But the reality is, the problem is not something the French government can solve, because the problem is clearly the French government itself… With the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS) emerging as being behind the attack, the question that remains is, who is behind ISIS itself? While the West has attempted to maintain the terrorist organization possesses almost mythological abilities, capable of sustaining combat operations against Syria, Iraq, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, support from Iran, and now the Russian military – all while carrying out large-scale, high-profile terrorist attacks across the globe – it is clear that ISIS is the recipient of immense multinational state-sponsorship… Just last week, Syrian forces reestablished firm control over the Kweyris military airport, which was under siege for years. The airport is just 20 miles from the Euphrates, and, as Syrian forces backed by Russian airpower work their way up toward the Turkish border along the Syrian coast, constitutes a unified front that will essentially cut off ISIS deeper inside Syria for good… Should ISIS’ supply lines be cut in the north, the organization’s otherwise inexplicable fighting capacity will atrophy. The window for the West’s “regime change” opportunity is quickly closing, and perhaps in a last ditch effort, France has jammed the spilled blood and broken bodies of its own citizens beneath the window to prevent it from closing for good.”

Grandmaster Putin Beats Uncle Sam at His Own Game – by Mike Whitney, Counterpunch.org – “So while some people might think that it was smarter for Obama to use a proxy-army in Syria instead of US soldiers, morally or legally speaking, there’s really no difference between what he did and what Bush did in Iraq. A US invasion is a US invasion. Period. It doesn’t matter if you use for-hire killers or your own guys. It’s all the same. Obama is just as guilty as Bush… Why does it matter?.. It matters because Obama’s Syrian policy has resulted in the deaths of 250,000 people and created 11 million refugees. That’s more refugees than Iraq. And the funny thing is, the media doesn’t even talk about it, in fact, there’s not one major media outlet in the entire country that has stated what everyone knows to be the obvious truth; that the United States is 100 percent responsible for the refugee crisis. 100 percent! Assad had nothing to do with it. US policy and our buck-passing president are entirely to blame… The point is, the Democrats pursue the same policies as the GOP with some minor-tweaking at the edges. So if the hard-charging, but dimwitted Republicans decide to drag the country to war on a pack of lies, then the shifty Dems will try to be smarter about it; they’ll try to micromanage the public relations, preempt antiwar marches in US cities and avoid US casualties at all cost. Obama has succeeded in all of these things. There’s nobody in the streets protesting, the media has convinced most people that Syria is in the throes of a civil war, and there have been no flag-draped coffins returning to Andover Airbase because their are no US boots on the ground. For all practical purposes, the Democrats have created our first completely invisible war. That’s quite an accomplishment, don’t you think?”

Tyler_Durden-RedGet Ready For Crazy – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “If this premise is correct, we can predict a period of increased looting by governments in general. We already know that the leading jurisdictions of the First World are in serious economic trouble and are instituting draconian measures at home in order to grab what they can from their citizens on their way down. In addition, they’re spreading their reach throughout the world under the auspices of organisations like the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to loot assets in other countries under the pretence that they constitute “the good guys,” whilst the rest of the world constitutes, “the bad guys.”.. The real truth, of course, is that “the good guys” are in no way better than the rest of the world; they merely have more power and, at least for the present, have the ability to presume their good guy status through force… By extension, we can anticipate that, as the Great Unravelling progresses, we shall see actions being taken by governments and financial institutions worldwide that we’ve never seen in our lifetimes. An aggressive action taken by one entity will cause a knee-jerk reaction by the target entity and, in some cases, chain reactions will occur. In addition, as in Honduras, we shall see preemptive aggressive actions taken in the belief that another entity may move first. Along the way, a sense of what is morally right will lose its importance. In its place, we shall see a “Nice guys finish last,” ethic come to the fore.”

Federal Reserve Admits It Has NO IDEA What It’s Doing – by WashingtonsBlog.com – “Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is stressing the need to review the unconventional monetary policies that central banks around the world deployed in response to the 2008 global financial crisis… She said Thursday that the post-crisis period offers policymakers an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the tools and better understand the impact of new regulation… ‘Policymakers have to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of alternative monetary implementation frameworks in the presence of new policy tools,’ Yellen said in remarks at a two-day research conference sponsored by the Fed… Translation: We have no idea what’s going on, or whether or policies are helping or making things worse.”

Amherst Students Threaten “Civil Disobedience” if President Doesn’t Eliminate “Free Speech” – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “The demands were issued in support of the “Stand with Mizzou” movement which stoked controversy earlier this week after a professor called for “muscle” to silence the First Amendment of a reporter attempting to cover the story… The list, attributed to a group calling itself ‘Amherst Uprising’, was handed to President Biddy Martin following a “sit in” which took place yesterday and subsequently published by the Amherst Soul website… Unless action is initiated within 24-48 hours, the students warn they, ‘will organize and respond in a radical manner, through civil disobedience.’.. One of the demands is that, ‘President Martin must issue a statement to the Amherst College community at large that states we do not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the “All Lives Matter” posters, and the “Free Speech” posters that stated that ‘in memoriam of the true victim of the Missouri Protests: Free Speech.’.. In other words, free speech, if it counters the narrative being pushed by ‘Amherst Uprising’ – will not be tolerated.”

Truckin-fer-BrokeTruckers’ Pensions Cut By Half – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “There are two lines of argument here. The retirees can argue that their former employers and/or their current pension funds have a moral obligation to pay whatever was promised, no matter what… On the other hand, there is the reality-based argument that “What can’t be paid, won’t be paid.” If previous employers and/or current pension funds are already bankrupt or nearly broke, court orders compelling them to pay the impossible will have no effect other than to bankrupt and destroy whichever firms or funds are deemed liable to make good on the pensions. In the end, before the courts rule on who is liable to pay pension and how they’re liable to pay, they’ll have to first ask: 1) Are the retirees better off with 50% (or less) of whatever was promised?; and 2) Are retirees better off demanding 100% of what was promised and thereby bankrupting the pension funds, and getting nothing?.. Result? The nation is going to hell. Its wealth is disappearing. We might soon become a Third World Nation–and almost no one will understand why… How could this be happening? It’s happening because We the People have been the “greatest fools” the world has ever seen. We’ve trusted our political leaders and the Federal Reserve. Our trust has been betrayed. We’ve ignored our express constitutional mandate that only gold or silver can be used as a “tender in Payment of Debts”. Our ignorance will be rewarded with poverty… Result? Soon, almost all of us are going to feel the pain currently felt by some retired truck drivers.(emph. added)

12 Days Before ’08 Crash, Congress was Secretly Told to Sell Off Their Stocks – by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughProject.com – “In an interview during the 60 minutes investigation, Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institute told Steve Kroft that ‘It’s really the way the rules have been defined. And the people who make the rules are the political class in Washington and they’ve conveniently written them in such a way that they don’t apply to themselves.’.. ‘These meetings were so sensitive– that they would actually confiscate cell phones and Blackberries going into those meetings. What we know is that those meetings were held one day and literally the next day Congressman Bachus would engage in buying stock options based on apocalyptic briefings he had the day before from the Fed chairman and treasury secretary. I mean, talk about a stock tip,’ he added.”

NASA Shock Study: Antarctica Is Growing Not Shrinking – by James Delingpole, Breitbart.com – “Among those alarmists trying to put a brave face on the shocking news is the report’s lead author Jay Zwally. Like so many of his colleagues at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS), Zwally has fought heroically over the years to promote the climate change scare narrative – and he’s not about to give up now… ‘I know some of the climate deniers will jump on this, and say this means we don’t have to worry as much as some people have been making out,’ he says. ‘It should not take away from the concern about climate warming.’ As global temperatures rise, Antarctica is expected to contribute more to sea-level rise, though when exactly that effect will kick in, and to what extent, remains unclear.”

Putin: “There is no global warming, a fraud to restrain the industrial development countries” – by Andrey Kuzmin, RedIceCreations.com – “Marianna Poberezhskaya, author of the academic work “Communicating Climate Change in Russia”, characterized media coverage in Russia as “climate silence”, broken only by the airing of official doubts about any human impact on global temperatures… ‘Russian mass media repeat the same mistake that Western journalists used to make: the false balance, where the idea of the human effect on climate change is presented along with skeptics’ point of view,’ she said. Russian school teaching also appears to lag behind the rapidly expanding science on climate change… Randomly sampled geography textbooks make no mention of human impact on the climate, and one college-level text states that climate changes are caused mainly by solar activity, the movement of the planet’s crust and volcanoes.” (emph. added)

Chem-Air-TestMonumental Air Test Planned to Examine Geoengineering – from WP.CoalitionAgainstGeoengineering.org – “PRNewswire/— Potentially the most difficult environmental test in history is about to take place. World renowned scientist Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, along with two volunteer environmentalists from the National Crime Scene Cleanup Association (NCSCA), are setting out to find conclusive evidence about the existence of “chem trails”. Award Winning Director/Producer Michael J. Murphy will be documenting this incredible feat… The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be granting waivers to allow two pilots to surpass the current Guinness altitude record in a powered para gliding aircraft of 24,898 feet. With State of the art air monitoring equipment, the two pilots will be flying into the chem trails at around 30,000 feet above sea level, battling winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and temperatures around -70 degrees Fahrenheit. The two pilots will be collecting air samples and data never before seen… ‘It is truly a privilege to be a part of such an epic environmental study, all while breaking Guinness world records for both speed and height in a powered para glider.’ says Pilot Enzo Pagani. ‘This is what I live for!’ “

Top General Admitting That Obama Knowingly Armed ISIS! How Is This Not Blatant Treason? – from MakeWarHistory.co.uk – “HASAN: You are basically saying that even in government at the time you knew these groups were around, you saw this analysis, and you were arguing against it, but who wasn’t listening?.. FLYNN: I think the administration… HASAN: So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis?.. FLYNN: I don’t know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision… HASAN: A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?.. FLYNN: It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.”

Swat-Raid-fuzzyCongress Fails to Comprehend Criminal Cop Assaults – by Michael Winter, ActivistPost.com – “A new report from the Congressional Research Service, which the government doesn’t really want you to see, has been made available to Congress and through the Federation of American Scientists web site at http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44256.pdf… The report shows that Congressional researchers are deeply out of touch with the issue of cell phone and other readily available types of cameras and how it impacts the citizenry, and have failed to comprehend the full extent or the seriousness of the issue as it relates to police brutality, or even that it has become a national crisis… While there are many good cops who do a great job, the reality is that an increasing number of law enforcement officers have become criminals themselves and now pose a serious threat to public safety and liberty. In many states the public has every reason to fear the police. In some cities in the USA, criminal behavior has become institutionalized at every level of government.”

Saakashvili-Kezerashvili-ConspiratorsUkrainian Wikileaks: McCain and Saakashvili are plotting to shoot down American plane in Syria to blame Russia [transcript] – from FortRuss.blogspot.co.uk – “(Mikhail Saakashvili): ‘So, the whole group will be in Latakia, in the Al-Nusra zone, the goal is to shoot down American plane. They will get flight information, there is a local Kurd there for that. The plan is turning out very cool! American plane will be shot down by Russian military. This will be told by the Prisoner, that the target was shot down from PZRK. The scene will be amusing, the whole world will talk about it… ‘After this group will go to Hasaka, it is a city near the Kurds and there they will destroy a Kurdish village, the Russians will do everything. In return, the Kurds will shoot down a Russian plane with Stingers. The goal is to pit the Americans and Russians in Syria. The Turks will be grateful, they promise to rouse the Crimean Tatars… ‘After it is done in Syria, you will see, if Americans don’t bring troops to Ukraine and all our projects will begin operating. McCain is waiting for our actions. Otherwise, Obama will not raise his ass, elections are coming soon and he will do nothing. You see, Poroshenko also began to wag his tail in front of Putin.’ “

Syria: 35% of Terrorists “Dead or Fled” – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – ” ‘The Takfiri terrorists have lost over 65 percent of their commanders and over 60 percent of their arms and ammunition depots as well as over 50 percent of their command and control centers,’ the Syrian military expert added… ‘Russian air group’s aircraft in Syria have conducted 71 sorties and hit 118 terrorist targets in Idlib, Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Damascus and Lattakia in the past 24 hours,’ the Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman said… ‘As you see, the number of sorties has grown due to the increased amount of intelligence data on terrorist infrastructure targets confirmed via various channels,’ Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.”

White_Helmets-1Syria’s White Helmets: War by Way of Deception – Part I – by Vanessa Beeley, 21stCenturyWire.com – “In a paper entitled, Foreign Aid and Regime Change: A Role for Donor Intent, written just prior to NATO intervention in Libya, Prof. Sarah Blodgett Bormeo describes the “democratization” process for target nations. Unwittingly or wittingly, Bormeo perfectly outlines the role played by NGOs in this process. Bormeo even goes so far as to pinpoint the lack of impartiality rife among NGOs large and small, the majority of whom, receive their funding directly from western government and major corporation sources – all of whom have a vested interest in the outcome of their NGO’s activities and ‘intervention’ in a particular location. Bormeo emphasises the importance of “picking winners” in this scenario, as opposed to respecting and supporting the will of the people in any sovereign nation.”

Part II – Syria’s White Helmets: War By Way of Deception ~ ‘Moderate Executioners’ – by Vanessa Beeley, 21stCenturyWire.com – “The NGO ‘soft power complex’ is now one of the most destructive global forces. It is employed as an interface between civilians of a target nation, with government, economic or military structures of the colonialist force intent on harnessing any given nation’s resources or undermining its geopolitical influence. The Democratization process, or the path to regime change is facilitated by these undercover government or corporate proxy employees who, once embedded into a society, set about producing the propaganda that will justify intervention, either economically, politically or militarily. NGO propaganda will often employ slick social media marketing which is underpinned by advance applied behavioural psychology and advanced NLP-based ‘social enterprise’ sales pitches.”

Should We Celebrate Carbon Dioxide? – by Patrick Moore PhD, TheGWPF.org – “Let’s begin with our knowledge of the long-term history of the Earth’s temperature and of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere. Our best inference from various proxies back indicate that CO2 was higher for the first 4 billion years of Earth’s history than it has been since the Cambrian Period until today. I will focus on the past 540 million years since modern life forms evolved. It is glaringly obvious that temperature and CO2 are in an inverse correlation at least as often as they are in any semblance of correlation. Two clear examples of reverse correlation occurred 150 million years and 50 million years ago. At the end of the Jurassic temperature fell dramatically while CO2 spiked. During the Eocene Thermal Maximum, temperature was likely higher than any time in the past 550 million years while CO2 had been on a downward track for 100 million years. This evidence alone sufficient to warrant deep speculation of any claimed lock-step causal relationship between CO2 and temperature.”

Christiania_FigueresParis climate deal will not include global carbon price, says UN climate chief – from Reuters via TheGuardian.com – “Big multinational companies and investors, and most recently oil majors, have called for a global carbon price to help spur investments in low-carbon energy… A global carbon price would help to create an incentive for operators of power plants and factories to switch to cleaner fuels such as gas or to buy more energy-efficient equipment… When the European Union launched a carbon trading scheme in 2005 there were expectations this would eventually lead to a global carbon scheme by 2020 worth around $2 trillion… But the difficulties of bringing together different carbon schemes from countries around the world means the goal of a global carbon price remains elusive… ‘[Many have said] we need a carbon price and [investment] would be so much easier with a carbon price, but life is much more complex than that,’ Figueres told a climate investor event in London.”

JOINT STATEMENT Final declaration on the results of the Syria Talks in Vienna as agreed by participants – from ClaysBeach.blogspot.com – “Meeting in Vienna, on October 30, 2015, China, Egypt, the EU, France, Germany, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United Nations, and the United States [“the participants”] came together to discuss the grave situation in Syria and how to bring about an end to the violence as soon as possible… The participants had a frank and constructive discussion, covering major issues. While substantial differences remain among the participants, they reached a mutual understanding on the following… “

Edgar_CayceIn 1932 Edgar Cayce Predicted Putin’s Role in Stopping WW3 – by Buck Rogers, ShiftFrequency.com – “Many of Cayce’s psychic readings occurred in the early part of the 20th century during two World Wars and the Great Depression, but before his death in 1947 he had already seen many of his predictions come true, including foretelling of the stock market crash of 1929, foreseeing events related to both World Wars, and even the warning of the untimely deaths of two American presidents… In a series of what he called ‘World Affairs Readings,’ Cayce made many remarkable statements about the future of world finance, world leadership, collective spirituality, and interestingly the role that somehow Russia was to play as a force of right in the coming global turmoil that we see unfolding before our eyes today.”

Anti-Israel Activism Criminalized in the Land of Charlie Hebdo and “Free Speech” – by Glenn Greenwald, TheIntercept.com – “Israel defenders love to equate “criticism of Israel” with “anti-Semitism” and then sanctimoniously deny that anyone does that. But criminalizing BDS advocacy — threatening people with large fines and prison terms for protesting the polices of the Israel government — is as clear of a case as it gets. As Haaretz put it, ‘The dragnet has also swept up BDS protesters whose actions have targeted Israel, not Jews.’.. Ponder how pernicious this is. It is perfectly legal to advocate sanctions against Iran, or Russia, or Sudan, or virtually any other country. Indeed, sanctions and boycotts against those countries are not only frequently advocated in the West but are official policy. But it is illegal — criminal — to advocate boycotts and sanctions against one country: Israel. It requires sky-high levels of authoritarianism, even fascism, to abuse the criminal law to outlaw advocacy of policies and activism when it involves one country, and one country only.”

SyriaMap_oct2015-wapoUS Invasion of Syria Begins – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “While the US claims this move is to “defeat the Islamic State (ISIS),” it is instead clearly a move to establish long-sought “buffer zones” or “safe zones” in Syria where the Syrian government can no longer operate. US airpower will also undoubtedly be used to cover these special forces, creating a de facto no-fly-zone wherever they operate… The map accompanying the Washington Post article clearly shows ISIS territory straddling the last remaining supply corridor being used to supply the terror group as well as others including Al Qaeda’s al Nusra Front from NATO-member Turkey’s territory. US special forces will likely begin operating in these areas, and zones carved out as US operations expand.”

MSNBC Apologizes After Accidentally Telling the Truth About Israel – by Kit O’Connell, TheDailySheeple.com – “…some media critics, and especially the Israeli media, criticized the segment, calling the graphic inaccurate. The Jerusalem Post referred to the image, which closely resembled a similar graphic widely circulated among activists, as ‘a map commonly used by Palestinian propaganda groups,’ adding: ‘It claimed that in 1946, present-day Israel was under Palestinian rule, leaving out the fact that it was under British Mandatory rule until May 14, 1948, when the British Mandate came to an end… Another mistake came in the 1947 map which the graphic referred to as the ‘UN plan.’ This was inaccurate for the fact that the supposed 1947 borders never existed, since the UN’s partition plan was rejected by all Arab countries.’ – On Oct. 19, MSNBC aired an apology in which Snow called the maps “not factually accurate.” Fletcher also appeared and acknowledged that although there was no internationally recognized country called “Palestine” in 1947, twice as many Arabs as Jews lived in the region at that time.”

Bratton-Concern_UnfoundedNYPD now blasting citizens with X-ray radiation to search vehicles without a warrant – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “As reported by the New York Post, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton is resisting calls by the New York Civil Liberties Union and the public to provide details regarding the department’s super-secret X-ray vans… In recent days, the top cop in the city was questioned about the counterterrorism vehicles, which are called Z Backscatter Vans, following the NYCLU’s request to file an amicus brief in court arguing that the department ought to be forced to release details about the vans, the way they are deployed and how the NYPD uses them… ‘They’re not used to scan people for weapons,’ Bratton told reporters. ‘The devices we have, the vehicles if you will, are all used lawfully and if the ACLU and others don’t think that’s the case, we’ll see them in court — where they’ll lose! At this time and the nature of what’s going on in the world, that concern of theirs is unfounded.’ ”

Shell walks away from Ukraine shale gas project – from RT.com – ” ‘Shell withdrew after announcing it was no longer interested in the project six months ago. There was a long procedure of backing out of the agreement due to force majeure circumstances,’ the minister was cited as saying by Ukraine’s daily Business… Ukraine is seeking new investors in the project, which could be profitable in the long-term, according to Demchishin, adding that: ‘The company Nadra Yuzivska will be liquidated if we don’t find new investors by the end of the year.’.. In June, Shell announced it was negotiating its withdrawal from the project due to low oil and gas prices. At the time, media reported that the Anglo-Dutch multinational suspended operations in Eastern Ukraine over fears for the safety of its personnel.”

US-Spec_Forces-HelicopterUS Gov’t Semantics To Aid In Deploying Ground Troops To Syria – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “These troops will be a further step in the direction of direct US military involvement in Syria of the open war variety. These troops will also be sitting ducks and potential “collateral damage” from Russian airstrikes actually aimed at ISIS/jihadist fighters and a potential spark for the powder keg of propaganda that would be launched in the event of Russia “killing our troops.”.. Of course, the responsibility for the lives of the soldiers would be squarely on the backs of the imperialists who committed them to yet another theatre of intended destruction and oppression. The United States and NATO has created, armed, trained, funded, and directed terrorists for the purposes of overthrowing Bashar al-Assad. The U.S./NATO then engaged in a bombing campaign against Syrian civilian infrastructure under the guise of “bombing ISIS” targets while Turkey and Israel constantly chipped away at the Syrian military. All of this was accomplished against the wishes of the Syrian government or the Syrian people.”

Google and YouTube now engaging in wholesale censorship of content they don’t want the public to see – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “Google, and its popular video sharing platform YouTube, are quickly becoming purveyors of propaganda, censoring material that could expose and question the status quo. These popular internet platforms are following in the footsteps of oppressive government regimes that punish whistle blowers and go after anyone who asks questions, seeks answers and reports on the most atrocious abuses of the day… Recent “changes” at YouTube now allow their technocratic management to remove monetization from videos they don’t want people to hear or see. Independent media source, All News Pipeline, has had to appeal eight videos that were stripped of monetization for censorship reasons… We are Change also revealed how they were being censored in March 2015. “In the last few days we noticed our YouTube numbers take a massive down turn while the majority of our new videos and top videos have been demonetized with no explanation at all.”

Over 1,000 Daesh militant backups arrive in Yemen’s Aden to fight Ansarullah – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘Hundreds of armed militants who came from other provinces of Yemen and from abroad started their training in the Salah al-Din camp in Aden,’ an unnamed Yemeni security source told Russia’s Sputnik news agency on Wednesday… The Yemeni source said that the exact number of the reinforcements is not yet known but approximately between 1,500 to 2,000 militants have come to the southern port city to fight alongside the terror group… He added that during the past few days a number of airplanes with hundreds of militants aboard had landed at the city’s airport ‘under condition of high secrecy and reinforced security.’.. On Tuesday, the spokesman of the Syrian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Ali Mayhoub, said that two planes from Turkey, one from the United Arab Emirates, and another from Qatar had transported 500 Daesh terrorists fleeing from Syria to an airport in Aden.”

Michel_Chossudovsky“Boots on the Ground” Inside Syria? The Pentagon Comes to the Rescue of the “Islamic State” (ISIS) – by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, GlobalResearch.ca – “International diplomacy has collapsed. US foreign policy makers are ignorant and corrupt, unaware of the implications of their actions… The US led air raids are being implemented simultaneously with those of Russia… Stalemate at the UN. The UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon (appointed by Washington ) supports the US led war under a humanitarian banner… These various actions and threats by the US led coalition –not to mention the chatter pertaining to a “World War III option” in the corridors of the US Congress– point to a scenario of military escalation, which could potentially lead to direct military confrontation between the US led coalition and the Russian Federation.

Analyst Calls for Obama to Enter Into a “Devil’s Bargain” with ISIS in Syria – State Department has announced it will step up support of jihadis – by Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com – “The analysis authored by former US military intelligence officer Thomas Buonomo states so-called moderate rebels in Syria have been ‘effectively compelled to enter into a devil’s bargain with the radical Islamists in order to have any chance of accomplishing their overriding goal’ of overthrowing the “irredeemable dictator Bashar al-Assad.”.. Buonomo states that mercenaries who have not joined the jihadists ‘are by now either dead, have withdrawn from the battlefield, or are hoping they will not be killed as a result of the indecisive geopolitical calculations of their American patrons.’.. ‘Taking these risks [Russian intervention] into consideration, the Obama administration should increase its military aid to the moderate rebel factions in order to pressure Putin to jettison Assad,” Buonomo writes… Over the weekend the State Department announced it will step up support of jihadi groups fighting to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria… ‘They pledged to continue and intensify support to the moderate Syrian opposition while the political track is being pursued,’ the State Department statement said… There are virtually no “moderate” proxy forces in Syria and the war against al-Assad is waged almost entirely by radical Sunni Salafist groups determined to establish a principality ruled by Shari’a law in Syria.” (emph. added)

Stephen_LendmanIsraeli Forces Invade Palestinian Hospitals – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Heavily armed Israeli soldiers and undercover agents storm Palestinian hospitals often – endangering staff, terrorizing and arresting patients, seizing records for names of others to abduct… Human rights workers denounce the practice. So does Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Jawad Awwad, explaining ‘(i)nternational law prohibits attacking hospitals and abducting patients. It also calls for enabling medical crews to act freely and safely, to perform their humanitarian mission.’.. Jerusalem’s Al-Makassed Islamic Charitable Hospital is a frequent target, the latest incursion coming on Wednesday after a Tuesday assault… Each time, heavily armed soldiers surrounded the hospital, blocking anyone from entering or exiting, then storming the facility – where they don’t belong for any reason… Hospital head Dr. Rafiq al-Husseini said staff were ordered to hand over patients’ records, including reasons for admittance. Israel wants information on inpatients and other released. Frequent arrests follow, including abducting the sick and wounded from hospital beds, a gross international law violation.”

T-Shirt-Gang_RelatedStudent Accused of Promoting Gang Culture for Wearing American Flag Shirt – by Mikael Thalen, PrisonPlanet.com – “Cole’s mother, Lori Carpenter, says she first became aware of the issue after Cole came home with his shirt on inside-out… ‘I asked him why,’ Carpenter told Fox40. ‘He said he was ‘dress coded’ at school because the stars were gang related.’.. According to Marysville Joint Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Ramiro Carreon, the shirt was flagged for containing colors and designs known to the local gang task force… ‘The red star on the Bear Flag, which represents the Lone Star flag flown above Monterey in 1836 during Juan Alvarado’s revolt against the Mexican government, is also used by the Norteño criminal street gang,’ Martin said. ‘Red is the gang’s color, the five points of the star represent ‘1+4’ and the 14th letter of the alphabet is ‘N.’.. ‘Inside the red star on Cole’s shirt, the number 31 is visible. The 31 on the shirt represents that California is the 31st state, but in gang iconography, 31 is the inverse of 13, which is used by the Sureño gang.’ ”

Tony_Cartalucci-captionMultipolarism Solves Syria at the Source – US End Game in Syria is Just the Beginning for Wider Regional War – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Reuters recently published an op-ed titled, ‘Syria’s one hope may be as dim as Bosnia’s once was,’ which argues that the only way the US can cooperate with Russia regarding Syria is if all players agree to a weakened, fragmented Syria… If this scheme sounds familiar, that is because this op-ed was authored by Michael O’Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution – a corporate-financier funded think-tank that has in part helped engineer the chaos now consuming the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). O’Hanlon previously published a paper titled, ‘Deconstructing Syria: A new strategy for America’s most hopeless war,’ in which he also calls for the division and destruction of Syria… In it, O’Hanlon calls for the establishment of “safe zones,” the invasion and occupation of Syrian territory by US, European, and Persian Gulf special forces, the relaxing of criteria used to openly fund what would essentially be terrorists operating in Syria, and openly making the ousting of the Syrian government a priority on par with the alleged US fight against the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL).”

Kilmuckridge locals reclaim ‘repossessed’ supermarket – Co Wexford community protest and accuse security firm acting for Deloitte of trespass – by Tim O’Brien, IrishTimes.com – “According to the supermarket operator, Corrigan’s Londis in Kilmuckridge was taken over in the early hours of October 5th by men wearing balaclavas who forced their way into the premises and changed the locks… Hugh Corrigan, who lives near the business, was awoken by the property’s alarm system that rang in his home. Using an Ipad connected to the property’s CCTV, he was able to see the men entering the premises… Mr Corrigan immediately called the gardaí, but said he was told they had been warned in advance the action was a repossession, not a burglary… Following this protest, KTech security once more returned on Monday and began to remove stock from the Londis… However, after a large crowd assembled and gardaí arrived, KTech’s Kevin McGarry withdrew his staff and locals reclaimed the supermarket for Mr Corrigan.” (emph. added)

One_World-Many_HandsMoving Toward A One World Government, A One World Economy And A One World Religion – by Michael Snyder – “We are steamrolling toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion… Of course we will not get there overnight. It is going to take some time, and there are going to be quite a few bumps along the way. In fact, I believe that our planet will experience an extreme amount of chaos before we actually get there… But every major crisis will be used as an excuse to advance this agenda. Virtually every solution that the elite offer us will involve more globalization and more centralization. We will be told that all of our problems will be solved if humanity will just come together in unity… For some, the goal of a “united planet” where we are all working together to eradicate things like poverty, war and disease makes all the sense in the world… For others, a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion would simply mean setting the stage for ‘one world tyranny.’ ”

Everyone wrote off the Syrian army. Take another look now – All this is only the beginning of Mr Putin’s adventure in the Middle East – by Robert Fisk, Independent.co.uk – “Then along came Vladimir Putin with his air and missile fleets and suddenly the whole place is transformed. While we huffed and puffed that the Russians were bombing the “moderate” rebels – moderates who had earlier ceased to exist according to America’s top generals – we’ve been paying no attention to the military offensive which the Syrians themselves are now staging against the Nusra Front fighters around Aleppo and in the valley of the Orontes… Syrian commanders are now setting the coordinates for almost every Russian air strike. They were originally giving between 200 and 400 coordinates a night. Now the figure sometimes reaches 800. Not that the Russians are going after every map reference, of course. The Syrians have found that the Russians do not want to fire at targets in built-up areas; they intend to leave burning hospitals and dead wedding parties to the Americans in Afghanistan. This policy could always change, of course. No air force bombs countries without killing civilians. Nor without crossing other people’s frontiers.”

Putin-WeeklyPutin is Defeating More than ISIS in Syria – by F. William Engdahl – Journal-NEO.org – “Russia’s Putin is playing the role ever so elegantly, even gracefully, of the small boy in the Hans Christian Anderson classic fairy tale from 1837, The Emperor’s New Clothes. The boy stands with his mother amid thousands of other villagers in the crowd outside the vain Emperor’s palace balcony, where the disassociated king struts around the balcony naked, thinking he is wearing a magnificent new suit of clothes. The boy shouts, to the embarrassment of all servile citizens who pretend his clothes are magnificent, ‘Mother, look the Emperor has no clothes!’.. What do I mean? In the first four days of precision bombing of select sites in Syria Russian advanced fighter jets firing Kh-29L air-to-surface laser-guided missiles that strike targets with a precision less than two meters, managed to destroy key ISIS command centers, munitions depots and vital infrastructure… What the successful Russian precision airstrikes have done is expose in all its ugly nakedness the Emperor’s New Clothes. For more than one year, the Obama Administration claims it has committed the most awesome airpower on the planet allegedly to destroy ISIS, which has been described as a ‘ragtag band of militants running around the desert in basketball shoes.’.. Curiously, until last week, ISIS has only expanded its web of power in Syria and Iraq under US bombings. Now, within 72 hours, the Russian military, launching only 60 bombing runs in 72 hours, hitting more than 50 ISIS targets, has brought the ISIS combatants into what the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman described as a state of “panic” where more than 600 have deserted. And, according to Moscow, the fight is only beginning, expected, they say to last three to four months.”

6 Ways to Show the World is in Cognitive Dissonance – by Paul Philips, ActivistPost.com – “Given that the mainstream media acts as a vehicle for so much propaganda, lies and deception and the vast majority blindly accept what it says, paying scant attention to the contradictory evidence, this leads many into a state of cognitive dissonance when challenged with the truth while defending the mainstream media’s official version… With the masses not getting the big ‘hey wait a minute’ moment of realization accepting things that are in truth majorly not right, here are my 6 ways of showing that the world is therefore in a state of cognitive dissonance or even denial.”

Daily_SheeplePharma Giant Funded their Own Study Claiming Drug Was Safe for Kids — It was Actually Deadly – by Jay Syrmopoulos, TheDailySheeple.com – “Big pharma heavy-hitter GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) illegally influenced doctors to prescribe the antidepressant drug paroxetine (sold under the brand name Paxil) to teenagers and kids for years even though it was not FDA approved for use in adolescents… Not to be discouraged by pesky laws, GSK began a focused marketing blitz aimed at doctors, which was a huge success with over 2 million Paxil prescriptions being written for kids in 2002 alone… So why did doctors write over 2 million Paxil prescriptions for children when the drug was not even approved by the FDA for use in kids?.. GlaxoSmithKine actually funded a research study that was published in 2001, known as Study 329, which claimed to show that the drug was “well tolerated and effective” in children… A subsequent study, not funded by the pharmaceutical company, had drastically different conclusions…”

A Complete Meltdown In November: Cyclical Analyst Says Stocks May Start To Crash This Week – from TheDailySheeple.com – “Cyclical analyst Bo Polny of Gold 2020 Forecast utilizes advanced mathematical formulas and years of cyclical analysis to make forecasts about global stock markets. In late July he noted that U.S. stock markets had hit a top and that investors should prepare for a rapid down-move in the Dow Jones and other indexes. As we now know, that prediction has come to pass.”

OffGridWorldColorado county criminalizes self-reliance: Off-grid living punished like a crime – by Daniel Barker, NaturalNews.com – “In fact, in many places, off-grid living has been all but criminalized. Take, for instance, Costilla County, Colorado, one of the least populated counties in the state and an area where hundreds of people have been purchasing land and attempting to successfully live off-grid. Off-grid homesteaders are facing harassment from county authorities who make things difficult for anyone who dares to pursue a self-reliant lifestyle… The situation there has become so tense that there have recently been confrontations between authorities and off-grid landowners as the county attempts to essentially criminalize their lifestyle… The county is now proposing new land use regulations that will require electricity, water and sewer systems to be installed before landowners can obtain a building permit.” – Can we please say Agenda 21?

Former Prominent CIA Officer Shares Details Of The Government’s All Out War Against Whistleblowers With GeoengineeringWatch.org – by Kevin Shipp and Dane Wigington – “This secrecy agreement was originally designed to protect legitimate classified information, to protect military personnel during wartime and protect legitimate national defense information and technology… However, because of the binding power of the agreement, government agencies began using it as a powerful tool to silence federal employees who question the legality of certain government operations. It was the perfect tool to threaten, silence or jail any whistle blower who dared to challenge the secret operations of government… Today, the secrecy agreement is routinely used as an efficient weapon to intimidate or silence employees. Annual refresher briefings are given to remind employees of the penalties for violating the agreement. These penalties include huge fines, termination, financial ruin and even prison – all of which mean the destruction of their lives and their families. Most will not reveal any wrongdoing, no matter how egregious, for fear of calculated, severe retribution.”

Boom-SyriaSyrian jihadists feud & bomb each other over funds as Russian jets destroy supply lines – from RT.com – ” Russian attack jets have hit 51 Islamic State targets in Syria in the past 24 hours, including four command posts, six arms depots, a mortar battery, two underground bunkers, 32 field camps and six outposts… The strikes took place in the Latakia, Aleppo, Hama and Damascus provinces… The damage the Russian SU-34 jets caused to the underground bunkers was especially significant, Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said… They hit the terrorists’ underground infrastructure in Homs, which had allowed the militants to move undetected and increase their effectiveness in combat… The well-funded Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has been hiding whole weapons caches underground, which included explosive devices for carrying out terrorist attacks… A small missile factory was among the objects destroyed. However, these underground bases and conduits are believed to be widespread across Syria, so more work needs to be done, Konashenkov says… A frontline supply junction for transporting fuel, arms and food supply lines was also hit in the Damascus province.”

Russian president creating chaos in Syria by bombing terrorists: Clinton – from PressTV.ir – “US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has accused the Russian president of creating chaos in Syria by bombing terrorists there… Clinton made the comments during the first Democratic presidential debate of this year held on Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nevada… The former secretary of state said that she’d had some success dealing with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedov… But then Vladimir Putin again became president of Russia, she added, and ‘that did change the relationship.’.. ‘We have to stand up to his bullying, and specifically in Syria, it is important — and I applaud the administration because they are engaged in talks right now with the Russians to make it clear that they’ve got to be part of the solution to try to end that bloody conflict,’ she said.”

Lavrov: Show Us Your Fake “Free Syrian Army” – Russia is willing to coordinate with the “phantom” group, but nobody can seem to find them; except maybe on CNN – from TASS via Russia-Insider.com – ” ‘No one has told us where the Free Syrian Army operates or where and how the other units of the moderate opposition act,’ Lavrov said… ‘We will even be ready to establish contact with it, if these are indeed efficient armed groups of the patriotic opposition that consist of Syrians,’ the foreign minister added… So far, the Free Syrian Army remains a “phantom group,” he said. ‘Nothing is known about it,’ Lavrov said… Lavrov said he has asked US Secretary of State John Kerry to provide information on this group and its leadership… Last week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said ‘there is absolutely controversial information about this so-called army.’ – ‘What is Free Syrian Army? Is this an official term? Are they official armed forces or what is it,’ Peskov said.”

al-Baghdadi-ElliotReport: US, Turkish Intelligence Coordinated ISIL Leader’s Transfer to Turkey for Treatment – from english.FarsNews.com – “ISIL Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been transferred to Turkey for treatment through a series of coordination measures by the CIA after the notorious terrorist leader was severely injured in the Iraqi army’s airstrike on his convoy in Western Anbar province, media reports disclosed on Wednesday… ‘The CIA has drone coordination with the Turkish intelligence organization to transfer al-Baghdadi to Turkey,’ the Arabic-language al-Manar TV quoted unnamed sources as saying on Wednesday… The source said that two companions of al-Baghdadi who were also injured in the attack on the ISIL leader’s convoy and were captured by the Iraqi forces have confirmed that al-Baghdadi has been injured in the Sunday attack… A military statement by the Iraqi Army announced on Sunday that the Iraqi air force had bombed the convoy of al-Baghdadi while he was heading to Al-Karable to attend a meeting with ISIL commanders.”

Rise of the Nanobots – The World of Molecular Machines – by Nicholas West, TechSwarm.com – “One of the more controversial concepts in the area of nanotech is what has come to be known as The Singularity. Essentially, it is the mission to transcend biology. There are many ways The Singularity could ultimately come about, but one of them is molecular control via nanobots… Ray Kurzweil has written about nanobot medicine in terms of imagining Human Body 2.0, which will be a continuously modified and upgraded internal system that will optimize nutrition, repair damage and, ultimately, lead perhaps to immortality… Naturally, there are many ethical considerations that are hopefully debated along the way (note: like when?), but the rise of nanobots is not a conspiracy, nor can it be passed off as merely wishful thinking by those who desire to live forever… The following video from the American Chemical Society and the University of Nebraska posits a decidedly upbeat future where not only the human body is modified, but nearly everything we would interact with.” (emph. added)

David_Stockman-of-OMBWhy The Mania Is Getting Scary—-Central Bankers Are Running A Doomsday Machine – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “If you need evidence that we are in the midst of a lunatic financial mania, just consider this summary from a Marketwatch commentator as to why markets are ripping higher this morning: ‘The dovish comments from both Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen and People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan are giving markets a big lift, and in the absence of negative data or news, I imagine this will continue to buoy the markets throughout the session,” Erlam said in emailed comments… ‘Yellen said gradual hikes are likely this year, but that the central bank will move cautiously……. the PBOC governor said he saw “more room” for China to ease policy if the economy stays soft and inflation continues to weaken.’.. Its just that frightfully simple. If any of the major central banks anywhere on the planet ease or even hint they might, the robo machines and day traders unleash an avalanche of buy orders and the stock averages jerk higher.”

Turkish PM Davutoglu tries to distance Daesh and Turkey, ends up saying they’re actually exactly the same – from Albawaba.com – “In what can only be described as a comical yet tragic error, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made a major mistake when describing the difference between Daesh’s Islamic theology and that of Turkey earlier this week… In an interview on Wednesday night with Turkish channel Show TV, the Turkish official attempted to distance Turkey from the group allegedly responsible for last week’s Ankara bombings, but instead accidentally suggested Daesh and Turkey hold the same religious views, saying: ‘There is a 360-degree, not 180-degree, difference between the Islam we defend and what Daesh has on its mind.’ – The gaffe comes after widespread criticism of alleged mishandling of intelligence by the Turkish government, which may have prevented the bombings at a peace rally which claimed 99 lives.”

Thomas_DrakeUS global assassination campaign kills numerous unreported civilians – from PressTV.ir – “(whistleblower) Thomas Drake told the Sputnik news agency on Thursday that America’s mass assassination program – that has mostly stayed in the dark over the years – has led to an untold number of civilian casualties… ‘We [the United States] have mass surveillance and we have a mass assassination program,’ Drake said. ‘It is two sides of the same coin.’.. On Wednesday, a new series of secret documents related to the US military’s “kill-capture” program were revealed by The Intercept… Based on the documents, the US military has conducted a 14-year-long program targeting high-value individuals that has led to the death of few terrorists and far more number of innocent civilians… ‘But it all gets lost in the sheer scope and scale of who’s dying at the other end,’ Drake added. ‘It’s an extraordinary tragedy… I call it the entrails of empire.’ ”

Geoengineering Cover Up Revealed in Lost 1978 Government Report – by Phillip Schneider, WakingTimes.com – “Just under 750 pages, the document from May of 1978 illustrates just how large the geoengineering, weather-modification cover-up really is. The beginning of the document reads as follows: ‘The Federal Government has been involved for over 30 years in a number of aspects of weather modification, through activities of both the Congress and the executive branch. Since 1947, weather modification bills pertaining to research support, operations, policy studies, regulations, liabilities, activity reporting, establishment of panels and committees, and international concerns have been introduced in the Congress. There have been hearings on many of these proposed measures, and oversight hearings have also been conducted on pertinent ongoing programs.’.. Although the document clearly states that the Federal Government has been involved in activities that involve weather modification, the general public is still largely unaware that this is even going on. Many still adamantly oppose the idea that this is even possible. If Congress has known about this since at least 1978, why is the public still so clueless about weather modification?”

Tsipras-applaudedGreece approves fresh austerity measures – from PressTV.ir – “In the early hours of Saturday, a majority of 154 lawmakers, out of a total of 300, supported the bill that entails further tax increases, pension cuts, and tougher fines for tax evasion… After a stormy debate between Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s leftist Syriza party — backed by its coalition partner, the nationalist Independent Greeks (Anel) — and the entire opposition, 140 votes were counted against the bill in the single-chamber parliament… Tsipras says the reforms are “not new.” ‘You already knew them when you voted in favor of the July 13 (debt) accord’ with the European Union, he replied to lawmakers from all six opposition parties who had fiercely criticized the toughness of the reforms.”

US Takes Warmongering to Next Level With Missile Defense Test in Europe? – from SputnikNews.com – “Four US warships along forces from eight other nations will take part in the first missile defense exercise in Europe, the Stars and Stripes newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources in the US 6th Fleet… The collective missile defense system, which has both seaborne and land-based components, is still under development to counter the overhyped yet non-existent missile threat from Iran… The participating troops from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, the Netherlands, the UK and the US will be tasked with intercepting an unarmed ballistic missile and an anti-ship projectile fired simultaneously from different locations… The war-games are aimed at improving coordination when dealing with multiple incoming missiles in what is often referred to as integrated air and missile defense.” – Wow, all of that “coordination” for the interception of 2 missiles? What about when there are a few dozen?

al_Sisi-Cant_refuseFarcical Egyptian Parliamentary Elections Underway – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Elections underway are farcical by any standard, proceeding in two phases for 596 parliamentary seats (568 elected ones, the others Sisi-appointed) on October 18 and 19 in 14 governorates, then in 13 remaining ones on November 22 and 23… Run-offs will be held in districts with no clear winner. Final results are expected in December… Junta supporting candidates alone are participating. Legitimate regime opponents risk imprisonment or execution, one way or another excluded from the political process… Sisi urged Egyptians to “(l)ine up in front of polling stations and plant with your votes the hope for a bright tomorrow for our new Egypt” – impossible with him in charge. Despotism isn’t democracy… Junta power rules ruthlessly. Fundamental freedoms don’t exist. Tens of thousands of regime opponents languish in gulag hell – guilty of challenging tyranny… Journalist Khaled Dawoud said ‘(t)here are no big issues being discussed…(I)t’s not an election of ideas. (Candidates) are competing over who will be’ Sisi stooges.”

Russia Destroys The Greater Israel Dream – by Taxi, InformationClearingHouse.info – “The ‘dream destroyed’ being the current unspoken reality, Israel is left with no expedient and transforming choices. It cannot go to direct war with a more powerful Russia and win back domination over Levant skies and waters. It couldn’t even defeat Hezbollah who lack any form of Air Power back in 2006. And more frustratingly for Israel, it cannot blackmail, coerce or buy President Putin either. Moreover, presently under the leadership of Obama, it is clear that America is not prepared to go to direct war with any nation, let alone Russia, on behalf of Israel. The current architects of expansionist Zionism are at a complete and utter loss to recognize all these chokehold factors – blood is draining from their faces. No more meetings over what Arab country to genocide next so as to steal more land and resources, the issue now is not when and how the Zionist dream can be finally fulfilled, but how to safely bring the corpse-dream back from the dead without anyone noticing.”

Inexplicable Moon Anomalies Reveal Deception About Outer Space (with Video)– by Makia Freeman, WakingTimes.com – “Moon anomalies are nothing new, there are many people, including mainstream Western scientists, who have pointed out numerous highly strange and irregular things about the moon. A few years ago David Icke brought the book Who Built The Moon? by Chris Knight and Alan Butler to attention, and concluded that the moon is an unnatural object that has been placed there for some reason – possibly as a broadcasting station. Icke further linked the moon to Saturn, and theorized that the “Matrix” in which we live is actually a program originally broadcast by Saturn and amplified by the moon. He called it the Saturn-Moon-Matrix… Now, with consumer technology rapidly advancing all the time, there are many people pointing their video cameras up at the night sky … with incredible results. More confirmation that all is not as it seems in outer space is the most visually fascinating of the latest moon anomalies: the lunar wave.”

Scientists develop GMO polio viruses to inject into children as profit-generating cancer treatment – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “This all sounds good, except for the fact that the plan is to inject this GMO virus directly into children’s brains. It’s unclear from the available literature exactly how long the researchers tested the PVS-RIPO before declaring it to be safe, but nearly every GMO currently on the market was only tested for a maximum of 90 days by its manufacturer prior to gaining approval… ‘PVS-RIPO is infused directly into a patients’ tumor (e.g. in the brain),’ say developers. ‘This assures that the maximal amount of virus is delivered directly to the tumor.’.. And while the Duke press release originally stated that ‘there have been no toxic side effects with PVS-RIPO whatsoever’ (this has since been removed without explanation), an earlier release by the Cancer Network that contains more thorough clinical trial data suggests otherwise. According to Phase I trial data, adverse events associated with PVS-RIPO include hemiparesis (paralysis), intracranial hemorrhage at catheter removal, lymphopenia (abnormally low lymphocyte levels in the blood), seizure, hyperglycemia, lethargy, headache, diarrhea, paresthesia and hyperbilirubinemia…” – What could go wrong?

Truth about 9/11 would take down the US as a global empire: Kevin Barrett – from PressTV.ir – “Dr. Barrett said everyone in the United States believes that George W. Bush deserves blame for the September 11, 2001 attacks… ‘According to Jeb Bush, the brother of George Bush, Jeb being the apparent favorite candidate to win the Republican nomination for president, at least until Trump emerged, Jeb is now on the defensive, arguing that his brother George W. Bush was not responsible and there’s no blame for the 9/11 attacks… ‘In August of 2001, George W. Bush received the president’s daily briefing from the CIA, and it was headlined, ‘Bin Laden determined to attack in the United States’. Bush whipped his neck around and angrily screamed, ‘Well, you’ve covered your ass now,’ ‘ Dr. Barrett said… ‘Of course, the ungenerous interpretation of this is that Bush knew full well that plans were proceeding apace for the big public relations event in September, and he did not appreciate the CIA briefer covering his posterior while passing the buck up to the president,’ he added.”

Greece, lenders start talks on economic reforms under bailout deal – from PressTV.ir – “According to a statement by the Greek Finance Ministry, the high-level talks began on Wednesday between Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos and representatives of the European Commission (EC), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), known as Greece’s troika of international lenders, in Athens… A representative of European Stability Mechanism was also present in the talks… The statement further said the negotiations will continue later in the day, with the participants planning to review Greece’s public finances, the 2016 budget and tax legislation… The government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his left-wing Syriza party came to power in January on a vow to end the Greek people’s economic sufferings caused by the international bailout program… However, he bowed to the European pressure and finally accepted the daunting reforms demanded by the creditors to keep the debt-ridden country afloat.”

EXPOSED: The REAL cause of the sudden Syrian migrant crisis into Europe – from TheRightScoop.com – ” ‘So yes, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which is a fascist and indeed a racist who wants only Turkish people to be in his border. He is bringing Turkish people from every place to fight President Assad to CHANGE the demographic structure of Syria… And we have reliable information…that there was a kind of demographic replacement inside Syria nearby the city of Ar-Raqqa. There are two Chinese villages. The people, the Arab citizens from those villages were killed or displaced and Erdogan and ISIS brought Chinese Uyghurs to settle in those two villages. The Syrian people told me this story and they said we call it now the two Chinese villages… Another issue. The Syrian migrators – you know what happened in Europe in the last few weeks? Those people were displaced by some people in the North of Syria. Erdogan brought hundreds, thousands of Turkmen minorities to settle in those villages to the North of Aleppo on the border strip.‘ ”

Julia-AutisticSesame Street rolls out autistic muppet to ‘normalize’ vaccine injured children… follows Elmo push for mass vaccinations – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “In yet another sickening example of the absolute mental derangement of modern society, Sesame Street has rolled out its first autistic muppet named “Julia,” says the Sesame Street website… The rollout of autistic Julia is Sesame Street’s attempt to “normalize” vaccine injuries and depict those victimized by vaccines as happy, “amazing” children rather than admitting the truth that vaccines cause autism in some children and we should therefore make vaccines safer and less frequent to save those children from a lifetime of neurological damage.”

EXCLUSIVE: Israeli Colonel Leading ISIL Terrorists Captured in Iraq – from english.FarsNews.com – “Noting that he was arrested along with a number of ISIL terrorists, the commander said, ‘The Israeli colonel’s name is Yusi Oulen Shahak and is ranked colonel in Golani Brigade of the Zionist regime’s army with the security and military code of Re34356578765az231434.’.. He said that the relevant bodies are now interrogating the Israeli colonel to understand the reasons behind his fighting alongside the ISIL forces and the presence of other Zionist officers among ISIL terrorists… The Iraqi security forces said the captured colonel has already made shocking confessions… Several ISIL militants arrested in the last one year had already confessed that Israeli agents from Mossad and other Israeli espionage and intelligence bodies were present in the first wave of ISIL attacks on Iraq and capture of Mosul in Summer 2014, but no ranking Israeli agent had been arrested.”

Agenda_2030-BergoglioAgenda 2030: Bankrupting the Third World, One Country at a Time – by Rusticus, ActivistPost.com – “While the true scope and depravity held in store for Africa at COP21 won’t be known to us until later this year, at least one nation, Ghana, has submitted its draft budget to the United Nations in advance of the Conference. The projected cost figure, if accurate, would be the next in a long chain of abuses against Ghana by Globalist entities like the IMF and multinational corporations alike… Ghana finds itself precariously situated between the geopolitical aims of two power factions on the “2D Chessboard” in the form of the Anglo-American Establishment and China. American colonization of Ghana by corporate entities and NGOs, draping themselves in the facade of benevolence, have a consistent track-record of introducing eugenic experiments in the region, often masked as philanthropy; “feeding the hungry” and “healing the sick” are the constant clarion calls of these wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

Police destroy 90-year-old woman’s home in drug raid, find nothing – by Daniel Barker, NaturalNews.com – “Another example of overzealous police trampling on the rights of ordinary citizens has surfaced, this time involving a 90-year-old Florida woman whose home was ransacked in a drug raid that turned up nothing… In December 2014, officers from the Riviera Beach Police Department conducted a raid on the elderly woman’s home based on the mistaken belief that drugs were being sold there… According to the woman, who asked not to be identified, the police targeted the wrong home. ‘I don’t know how the cops got in here,’ she recalls. ‘The noise woke me up when something said, ‘Boom!’ Like a bomb or something.’.. Apparently, the police broke down the senior citizen’s door and used a flash bang device during the raid, which shattered windows in the front of her home.”

Nat_Geo-War-on-ScienceNational Geographic now conspires with poison-pushing corporations to destroy the very planet it once photographed – by Julie Wilson, NaturalNews.com – “(National Geographic) is now aggressively promoting industry-backed “science,” including the claim that water fluoridation is completely safe and anyone who questions it is a disreputable conspiracy theorist… …the largely influential scientific nonprofit is now dedicated to pushing the agenda of corporations poisoning and destroying the planet…. For those of us who are science-literate, Nat Geo’s March 2015 cover is shocking. The issue attempts to confuse readers by comparing wild conspiracy theories, such as the assertion that the U.S. moon landing was faked, with justifiable concerns over the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the correlation between vaccines and autism.”

US shale producers have $150bn in debt – Rosneft CEO – from RT.com – ” The breakeven price for difficult to extract shale oil is $85-$98 a barrel, according to Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin, which is putting US producers deep in debt… ‘The total debt of only 25 companies engaged in the extraction of shale oil is about $150 billion,’ said Sechin speaking at the Eurasian Forum in Verona, Italy, TASS reports… According Sechin it’s the United States not to OPEC that controls the global oil market. ‘OPEC is no longer the regulator, its meeting on October 21 [with non-OPEC members] did not bring any decisions,’ according to Sechin… Last week, the head of Russia’s biggest oil company said Riyadh has been actively dumping and cutting prices to secure its share of the market and gain new ones. Some European countries are now buying Saudi oil for the first time.”

Americas-BlindsThings Are Getting Scary: Global Police, Precrime and the War on Domestic ‘Extremists’ – by John W. Whitehead, TheDailySheeple.com – “Under the guise of fighting violent extremism “in all of its forms and manifestations” in cities and communities across the world, the Obama administration has agreed to partner with the United Nations to take part in its Strong Cities Network program. Funded by the State Department through 2016, after which “charities are expected to take over funding,” the cities included in the global network include New York City, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Paris, London, Montreal, Beirut and Oslo… Working with the UN, the federal government will train local police agencies across America in how to identify, fight and prevent extremism, as well as address intolerance within their communities, using all of the resources at their disposal… What this program is really all about, however, is community policing on a global scale.”

The Islamic State Meets The Laws Of Economics – by Felix Imonti, InformationClearingHouse.info – ” ‘Return of the Gold Dinar’ continues the IS practice of tying every action to the Abbasid Caliphate that ruled much of the Middle Eastern region from 750 to the middle of the thirteenth century. What was an Islamic Empire not much different from the Persian and Egyptian Empires before it minted its own coinage. The new coins are to display religious symbols like those on the original coins. Baghdadi would like his followers to imagine that they are a continuation of the long ago caliphate with only a mere seven hundred and fifty years disruption… The idea is not new. The proposal to create a gold Dinar was advocated in 2002 when Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad of Malaysia presented it at the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The problems in the economies of Moslem societies were attributed to foreign domination and a gold currency was to be the means of escaping dollar domination by creating a Moslem economic community… Daesh’s monetary problem is not domination by the USD. Rather, it is that the erasing of the borders between Iraq and Syria did not change the line drawn by two separate economies using two different currencies… If Daesh intends to create a single economy, it must create a common currency that will enable buyers and sellers to agree upon a price for goods and services without having to first decide upon an exchange rate.”

Russia-vs-ISISUS-Turkey “Buffer Zone” to Save ISIS, Not Stop Them – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Revealing the true nature of NATO’s “buffer zones” and the fact that they are aimed at saving, not stopping ISIS, Al Nusra, and other Al Qaeda linked extremist factions, further undermines the moral, political, diplomatic, and even strategic viability of this plan. By revealing to the world the true solution to solving the “ISIS problem” – cutting their fighters off from their Western and Arabian state-sponsors, opens the door to more aggressive – not to mention more effective – measures to defeat them both in Syria and elsewhere… That Russia has already begun taking these measures means that that window has closed further still for the US. The only question now will be whether the US concedes defeat, or escalates dangerously toward war with Russia to save a policy that has not only utterly failed, but has already been exposed to the world as a criminal conspiracy.”

Russian_SU-34-JetFighters‘A step closer to war’: UK pilots given green light to shoot down hostile Russian jets in Syria – by Romil Patel, uk.BusinessInsider.com – ” ‘The first thing a British pilot will do is to try to avoid a situation where an air-to-air attack is likely to occur — you avoid an area if there is Russian activity,’ an unidentified source from the UK’s Permanent Joint Headquarters told the Sunday Times. ‘But if a pilot is fired on or believes he is about to be fired on, he can defend himself. We now have a situation where a single pilot, irrespective of nationality, can have a strategic impact on future events.’.. The RAF Tornado aircraft will be armed with heat-seeking Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles — ASRAAMs, also called AIM-132 missiles. These weapons, which cost 200,000 pounds each, can reach triple the speed of sound and have a longer range than other air-to-air missiles, allowing RAF pilots to shoot down enemy aircraft without being targeted themselves.”

Vaccination: how the West invades the world – by Jon Rappoport, ActivistPost.com – “In recent years (think Swine Flu, SARS, and other fake epidemics), the World Health Organization has played a major role in insisting—with threats of sanctions and quarantines and travel advisories—that nations vaccinate their citizens to the hilt, in order to protect the world against “the deadly spread of viruses.”.. The WHO wields significant power in this regard. It is a pharmaceutical enforcer… Here is the second aspect of the vaccination-invasion: the local leaders of “backward” nations stand to gain from the vaccine ruse… Instead of having to admit they are causing widespread death and devastation by maintaining poverty, hunger, starvation, unsanitary overcrowded living conditions, and contaminated water supplies—all of this on purpose, in order to keep their populations weak and under control…”

Mideast_Refugees-AustriaTrouble in Paradise: German Officials Hide Refugee Crimes, Fearing Backlash – from SputnikNews.com – “Authorities in Germany are deliberately keeping quiet about crimes occurring in refugee shelters, especially those involving brutality against women, as the country’s policy of taking in asylum-seekers and providing them with sustenance and a monthly stipend has enraged many, who see the massive influx of young, mostly male Muslims as a threat… Merkel Under Pressure Over Refugees as Opposition Spills on to Streets
Germany is failing to control rampant crime among its new refugee population, but authorities are afraid to disclose the matter to the press. The influx has already enraged many ordinary Germans, who made their opinions known in Dusseldorf and other cities for the first time last year during anti-Islamisation protests. The country is expected to take in 1.5 million refugees in 2015, according to the Telegraph, which cited leaked government figures on Monday.”

Big_ZuckerbergFacebook Reportedly Censoring Anti-TPP Posts (w/Video) – by Kit Daniels, PrisonPlanet.com – “Within the first 30 minutes of its publication on Infowars.com, the article entitled TPP to Kill Thousands by Expanding Monopoly Power of Drug Companies would constantly hit around 50 shares on the embedded Facebook counter, but then the counter would drop dramatically, as shown in these videosThis occurred several times over the 30 minute period and an investigation by IT staff found nothing unusual that could be interfering with the counter… Facebook was similarly censoring an anti-GMO article back in July… ‘We’ve seen thousands of reports regarding the censorship of content by Facebook and others regarding the TPP, Monsanto and similar topics,’ Anthony Gucciardi said regarding the censored article. ‘The bottom line here is that this article [was] being blocked across numerous platforms under the guise of a ‘security’ threat, when we know full well that these sites are perfectly safe.’.. The social media giant was also suppressing an article exposing the “Pope Kid” incident in which amnesty activists staged a PR stunt involving Pope Francis to promote illegal immigration.”

Facebook illegally tracks internet users’ behavior and location even if they don’t have accounts, EU report claims – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “Entitled From social media service to advertising network: A critical analysis of Facebook’s Revised Policies and Terms, the paper explains how Facebook’s data collection and tracking protocols are ethically and morally questionable, at best. Facebook’s contract terms, in fact, are so unfair and stacked against users that they blatantly violate European consumer protection law, according to experts… And opting out of Facebook’s Orwellian data-mining schemes is difficult, if not impossible, warns the paper, as users must first navigate an intricate web of difficult-to-find “opt-out” sections buried deeply within the site, and in multiple locations. In other words, Facebook is going to track and monitor you whether you like it or not, and sell this information to unnamed third parties and other sources… …even non-users are having their privacy violated by Facebook, something that the Facebook’s European Public Policy Vice President Richard Allen recently admitted to in a blog post.” (emph. added)

Germans Could Have Their Children Snatched For Anti-Migrant Facebook Posts – Opposing influx of “refugees” puts people at risk of being fired – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Germans who make racist anti-migrant posts could have their children snatched by the state and be fired from their jobs, according to the German Lawyers’ Association… In an article entitled Racism and parenting: Threatening loss of custody?, lawyer Eva Becker, Chair of the Working Group on Family Law in the German Bar Association, outlines the conditions under which “xenophobic” Facebook posts could lead to parents being targeted… Although Becker asserts that merely opposing the settlement of migrants in Germany would not lead to parental rights being terminated, such views could easily lead to someone being fired from their job… Expressing a desire for violence against the migrants would constitute evidence enough for a family court to remove children from the home, according to Becker… While this appears to be a high bar, idle threats of violence are made by countless people on the Internet every day, with the vast majority going completely unpunished.”

ISIS-Toyotas-at-DuskThe Mystery of ISIS’ Toyota Army Solved – by Tony Cartalucci, GlobalResearch.ca – “The mystery of how hundreds of identical, brand-new ISIS-owned Toyota trucks have made it into Syria is solved. Not only has the US and British government admitted in the past to supplying them, their military forces and intelligence agencies ply the borders of Turkey, Jordan, and even Iraq where these fleets of trucks must have surely passed on their way to Syria – even if other regional actors supplied them. While previous admissions to supplying the vehicles implicates the West directly, that nothing resembling interdiction operations have been set up along any of these borders implicates the West as complicit with other parties also supplying vehicles to terrorists inside of Syria.”

Warning to activists: Grassroots movements being systematically infiltrated by big industry operatives – by Julie Wilson NaturalNews.com – “Big industry special-ops hijack grassroots movement by infiltrating controlled opposition in top leadership roles
Public opinion is a powerful thing, and big business knows it. With the media under control, their most feared opposition are activists and the grassroots movements they organize… The playbook for evil and corrupt industries like Big Pharma and Big Agra, namely Monsanto, is to hijack grassroots movements by infiltrating its top leaders with controlled opposition, particularly those in positions with admin controls… Natural News has now witnessed the infiltration of grassroots movements in two major cities with two different initiatives, both of which severely threatened the reputation and profits of prominent corporations.”

Obama Administration plotting adult vaccination mandates – from NaturalNews.com – “In collaboration with Big Business and special interests, the Obama administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is plotting a new program to track Americans’ vaccination records, wage a massive propaganda campaign to “encourage” more inoculations, and foist more controversial vaccines on adults against their will. Federal bureaucrats and crony capitalists set to profit from the proposal claim the goal is to improve “public health,” and establishment media outlets have largely parroted that line so far. However, critics of the unconstitutional scheme, formally dubbed the “National Adult Immunization Plan”[1] (NAIP), say the ultimate goal is to forcibly vaccinate all Americans and move toward a radical new healthcare paradigm in which medical “treatment” is delivered at gunpoint. (Story by Alex Newman, republished from TheNewAmerican.com)… ‘The noose being tightened around the necks of our children is being thrown over the necks of adults as well,’ Wrangham said. ‘The tightening of that noose is growing daily in an attempt to strangle vaccine freedom of choice by eradicating the ethical principle of informed consent.’ ”

Anton_GerashchenkoTop Ukraine official backs idea ‘to help ISIS take revenge on Russian soldiers in Syria’ – from RT.com – ” ‘I think that their faces [on TV] will be enough, so that Islamic State militants and their supporters in Russia, the majority of whom are in the Caucasus region, could then find them and take revenge [on them] under Sharia law,’ the Facebook user wrote to Gerashchenko… Gerashchenko, who also attached an RT video showing Russian military jets in Syria in his post, seemed to be inspired by the idea. He urged everyone who has any information about Russian servicemen fighting ISIS in Syria to report the data on the volunteer-made Mirotvorec (Peacekeeper) website. For such information, there would be a special section, entitled “Putin’s crimes in Syria and Middle East.”.. The majority of Gerashchenko’s Facebook friends supported the idea, calling it “brilliant” and “effective.” However, not everyone got motivated by such a call.”

US nursing Daesh in Afghanistan: Russia officials – from PressTV.ir – “Russian officials have suggested that the United States is plotting the deterioration of the security situation in Afghanistan and the expansion of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group there… The officials made the remarks during a security conference in Moscow, Russia Today reported on Thursday… Addressing the event, Zamir Kabulov, the Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan, said, on several occasions, Taliban groups which had refused to join Daesh were “set up” to be targeted by US airstrikes… ‘The Afghan Army practically has no aircraft. Only the Americans do. These details bring some very bad thoughts and concerns. We have to take them into account and draw conclusions accordingly,’ the official said… ‘It seems like someone’s hand is pushing freshly trained ISIL (Daesh) fighters to mass along Afghanistan’s northern border. They don’t fight foreign or Afghan government troops,’ Kabulov noted.”

Obama Administration and UN Announce Global Police Force to Fight ‘Extremism’ In U.S. – by Pamela Geller, Breitbart.com – “What is a global police force doing in our cities? This is exactly the abdication of American sovereignty that I warned about in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America. The Obama Department of Justice made it clear that it was exactly that when it distributed a press release last week announcing the ‘Launch of Strong Cities Network to Strengthen Community Resilience Against Violent Extremism.’ In that press release, the DoJ complained that ‘while many cities and local authorities are developing innovative responses to address this challenge, no systematic efforts are in place to share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale.’.. So if the local and municipal effort to counter the euphemistic and disingenuous “violent extremism” is inadequate and hasn’t developed ‘systematic efforts are in place to share experiences, pool resources and build a community of cities to inspire local action on a global scale,’ the feds – and the UN – have to step in.(emph. added)

As Russia Bombs ISIS, US Bombs Syrian Civilian Power Stations – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “…the United States launched a bombing mission of its own against two power plants in Aleppo… The power plants were located in al-Rudwaniya east of Aleppo and resulted in power outages affecting the Syrian people, adding to the American tradition of bombing civilian infrastructure instead of ISIS and other terrorist targets in Syria. The power outages only further contribute to the misery surrounding the people of Aleppo who have been bombarded by barbarians funded by the United States and NATO, intent of raping and beheading their way through the city and declaring their caliphate of pre-civilization on civilized people… It should also be noted that the US bombing campaign is a violation of international law, unlike the Russian campaign where Russian forces were invited in to the country by the legitimate government… The United States has long maintained that its bombing campaign was directed at ISIS but, to date, very little damage has been done to ISIS structures, facilities, or personnel by any American airstrikes.”

IDF-at-Al-AqsaNetanyahu’s End Game: Annexation of East Jerusalem? – by Anthony Bellchambers, GlobalResearch.ca – “It is reported today that: ‘Tensions have surged in 11 days of violence in which four Israelis and 17 Palestinians ­ including several Palestinians shot by police, have been killed in Jerusalem, the Israeli­-occupied West Bank, Gaza and in Israeli cities.’.. This violent unrest has been provoked by the Israeli government’s apparent attempt to change the long-established and sensitive, religious control by Muslim elders of the al­-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam’s third holiest shrine. This action has clearly been pre­meditated by a Likud government with full knowledge of the inevitable consequences.”

Could Eating Honey Be A Form of Microbial Time Travel? – by Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo.com – “Did you know that there are billions of years of biological information encoded within your cells, and that depending on what you do or do not eat, the information is activated or remains latent?.. It is a biological fact that the distant past is embedded within the present. No one could have described this more aptly and tangibly than Thich Nhat Han when he said: ‘If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.’ ”

Israeli-Settlers-throw-stonesNetanyahu Unleashes Settler Attacks, Targets Palestinian Hospitals and Patients – by Stephen Lendman, SJLendman.blogspot.co.uk – “Netanyahu-ordered state terror continues raging with no end in sight. Heavily armed soldiers, militarized police, border guards and other security forces are systematically terrorizing Palestinians – beating, wounding and murdering them in cold blood…Police states operate this way, Israel one of the vilest, run by Arab-hating fascists, criminal thugs by any standard, unrestrained brutality their mode of operation – fully supported by Washington…Netanyahu unleashed extremist settlers to commit “vigilante attacks against Palestinians,” the Yesh Din human rights group explained.”

California mandatory vaccination bill allows courts to order forced injection of neurotoxins into developing children – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “Reports indicate that some public school systems, including the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), are already throwing some students out of class for not having been injected with neurotoxin-laden jabs like MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), even though no student with a religious or medical exemption is required to be vaccinated until after SB 277 comes into effect on July 1, 2016… Confusion is already running rampant as school districts, daycare facilities and other educational facilities prematurely bar students from attending classes based on a misunderstanding of what SB 277 entails. Thanks to the poor leadership of the California Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Torlakson, who failed to instruct schools on how to handle SB 277’s implementation, school districts across the state are breaking the law by interfering with their students’ ability to obtain a public education.”

Google degenerates into Ministry of Truth; all knowledge must now be pre-approved by search algorithm – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – Gone are the days when you could search Google and pull up neutral, relevant content appropriate to your search query. The search engine giant is reportedly pioneering a new search algorithm that will tailor search results not based on popularity or accuracy, but rather on what Google itself deems to be truthful or untruthful… The world’s new “Ministry of Truth”, Google believes that screening and censoring information requested by its users will help avoid “websites full of misinformation” from showing up at the top of the search list. Known as the “Knowledge Vault,” the novel algorithm is described by The New American as ‘an automated and super-charged version of Google’s manually compiled fact database called Knowledge Graph.’.. ‘[The Knowledge Vault] promises to let Google answer questions like an oracle rather than a search engine, and even to turn a new lens on human history,’ wrote Hal Hodson for NewScientist about the project.”

Forget Polar Bears – New Study Claims Kidney Disease Due to Global Warming! – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “In a move that serves as a reminder of the prevalence of lack of integrity within the Western medical industry, as well as the commitment to federally funded non-scientific political propaganda, Dr. Richard Johnson researcher at University of Colorado Anschutz has recently declared that a rare kidney disease observed in Central American sugar cane worker is caused by, get this, “global warming.”.. ‘This could be the first epidemic directly caused by global warming,’ said Johnson, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a world-renowned expert on the underlying causes of obesity, kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. ‘Some districts of Nicaragua have been called the ‘land of widows’ due to the high mortality rates occurring among the male workers from chronic kidney disease.’.. This latest shockingly dishonest and almost laughable medical political claim serves to remind us that modern-day Western medicine and politically funded government “scientists” will stop at nothing to promote the agendas of their masters who apparently now go well beyond just the pharmaceutical industry.

Medicated_andAmericans now PROUD to be medicated with mind-altering drugs: #MedicatedAndMighty hashtag now being used by total zombies sporting bags full of prescription drugs – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “As reported by the left-leaning Buzzfeed news site, #MedicatedAndMighty is a hashtag developed by Erin Jones, a blogger who posted a photo on her Facebook page of her holding a pair of prescriptions for psychotropic drugs after being offline for a while, with this accompanying explanation: ‘So this also happened yesterday. I have tried living this life without prescription help. It seems to have me on top of the world one minute and rocking in the corner the next. There is no consistency. I’m done with that. Anxiety and antidepressant medication to the rescue. Sometimes, folks, we just need help.”.. Jones told the online publication that she made her revealing post in order to bring attention to the issue of “mental health” and to be open and honest about her life.”

Medical madness: CDC names 271 new vaccinations – how many will be mandated at gunpoint? – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “Children born in America today are subjected to at least 56 doses of 14 different vaccines before the age of 18, an incredible number compared to what children received back in the 1950s and 1960s. But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is gleefully awaiting the arrival of some 271 more vaccines which, when they become commercialized, will generate an additional $100 billion for vaccine companies by the year 2025… Vaccines for allergies, autoimmune disease and even cancer are all making their way through the development pipeline, where they could one day end up on the “mandatory” vaccine schedule that children are required to receive, unless they opt for an exemption, before being allowed to attend school.” (emph. added)

I didn’t think TTIP could get any scarier, but then I spoke to the EU official in charge of it – by John Hilary, Independent.co.uk – “In our meeting, I challenged Malmström over the huge opposition to TTIP across Europe. In the last year, a record three and a quarter million European citizens have signed the petition against it. Thousands of meetings and protests have been held across all 28 EU member states, including a spectacular 250,000-strong demonstration in Berlin this weekend… When put to her, Malmström acknowledged that a trade deal has never inspired such passionate and widespread opposition. Yet when I asked the trade commissioner how she could continue her persistent promotion of the deal in the face of such massive public opposition, her response came back icy cold: ‘I do not take my mandate from the European people.’

Greek Cash Ban Escalates: ‘Permanent’ Stricter “Capital Controls” On 3 Million Pensioners, Civil Servants Imposed – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “In a stunning move towards the elites’ endgame of ‘banning cash’, Greek authorities unveiled stricter capital controls for civil servants and pensioners this weekend. By drastically limiting cash withdrawals and forcing the more ‘controllable’ compulsory use of plastic money, Greek authorities hope to stop tax evasion through the use of ‘fake cash registers’… As KeepTakingGreece.com reports, A shock-measure: civil servants and pensioners will be subject to stricter capital controls than the rest of the Greeks. They will be able to withdraw only €150 per week – with the cash withdrawal cap being €420 per week – that is a total of €600 per month. The rest of their wage or pension they will have to spend by using debit or credit card.’.. The news fell like a bombshell on Saturday evening and spoiled the weekend of millions of Greeks. It will probably spoil the rest of their lives too.’

Jens_Stoltenberg-PokingNATO ready to help Turkey against Russia: Stoltenberg – from PressTV.ir – “The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has announced its readiness to “help” its member state Turkey, more than a week after Russian jets, carrying airstrikes in Syria, strayed into Turkish airspace… ‘Turkey is a strong ally and they have the second-largest army. They have a capable air force, so the Turkish armed forces are the first responders, but NATO is there to help and assist them if they need,’ NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday… The Turkish military said it had scrambled two F-16 warplanes on October 3 after a Russian fighter jet crossed into its airspace near the southern province of Hatay.” – Note: “Turkey’s airspace” was a claimed 5 km “buffer zone” inside Syria.

Western (NATO) Aid to Terrorists: Iraqi Forces Seize US-Supplied Anti-Armor Missiles from ISIS in Fallujah – by Fars News Agency, GlobalResearch.ca – “The Iraqi army and volunteer forces discovered US-made military hardware and ammunition, including anti-armor missiles, in terrorists’ positions and trenches captured during the operations in the Fallujah region in Al-Anbar province… The Iraqi forces found a huge volume of advanced TOW-II missiles from the Takfiri terrorists in al-Karama city of Fallujah… The missiles were brand new and the ISIL had transferred them to Fallujah to use them against the Iraqi army’s armored units… Iraqi officials have on different occasions blasted the US and its allies for supplying the ISIL in Syria with arms and ammunition under the pretext of fighting the Takfiri terrorist group… ‘The military hardware and weapons had been airdropped by the US-led warplanes and choppers for the ISIL in the nearby areas of Beiji,’ military sources told FNA.”

Libyan_refugee_boatUN Security Council Authorizes EU Naval Forces to Attack Vessels Transporting Refugees in the Mediterranean – by Abayomi Azikiwe, GlobalResearch.ca – “A vote by the Security Council of 14 to 1 empowers European Union (EU) Naval forces to purportedly halt and turn back vessels that are transporting migrants across the Mediterranean into Southern Europe. Only the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela abstained in the decision… This renewed effort is called “Operation Sophia” consisting of six naval war ships from the EU in constant patrols off the coast of Libya. These vessels have been given the ability to halt, seize, detain and destroy boats utilized by human traffickers bringing thousands to Europe every week… A statement issued by the EU operations said “Assets will conduct boarding, search, seizure and diversion, on the high seas, of vessels suspected of being used for human smuggling or trafficking.” One Italian aircraft carrier, a French frigate and another from Britain, along with a Spanish ship and two German ones will be spearheading the mission, which follows in the same pattern as the EU anti-piracy expeditions off the Horn of Africa.”

US Senate Hearing Discusses Using Refugees as Human Shields in Syria – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “A recent US Senate hearing regarding Russia’s ongoing air campaign in Syria plumbed dark depths when it was actually proposed by retired US Army General John M. Keane that “free zones” be established for armed militants, and populated with refugees to deter Russian attacks. In essence, General Keane’s plan is to use refugees as human shields, and leverage any attack on this established “free zone” as a means of manipulating public opinion… The recent multinational anti-terror operation led by Russia at the request of the Syrian government has dealt the United States and its narrative regarding its own military intervention in Syria a severe blow… It has become abundantly clear that not only has the United States been arming and funding extremists inside of Syria, including groups operating in tandem with listed terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front, it also appears that the US has feigned its campaign against the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL)… While the US now poses as determined to “defeat” ISIS in Syria, just last year talking points circulated about instead “containing” the terrorist organization within Syria – essentially letting it ravage the country, degrade the fighting capacity of the Syrian government and hopefully, lead to the collapse of Damascus.

mq-9_Reaper-Keeping_PeaceA New Snowden? Whistleblower Leaks Trove of Documents on Drones & Obama’s Assassination Program – from DemocracyNow.org – “Newly leaked government documents have provided an unprecedented window into the secret U.S. drone assassination program across the globe. In “The Drone Papers,” The Intercept reveals drone strikes have resulted from unreliable intelligence, stemming in large part from electronic communications data, or “signals intelligence,” that officials acknowledge is insufficient. The documents also undermine government claims that the drone strikes have been precise. In Afghanistan, strikes on 35 direct targets killed at least 219 other people. Among other revelations, they also suggest the strikes have hurt intelligence gathering and that unknown male victims have been labeled as “enemies killed in action” unless evidence later proves otherwise. The documents were leaked to The Intercept by an unnamed U.S. intelligence source.” (emph. added)

ARE WE WITNESSING A FALSE FLAG INTIFADA? – fromDesertPeace.wordpress.com – “Needless to say, Netanyahu’s statement before the Knesset on Monday that Israel was ready and willing to cooperate with Amman and Cairo against terror constitutes a real insult to both the Jordanian and Egyptian regimes… In truth, Netanyahu, by offering to cooperate with regional powers against terror, actually wants Amman and Cairo to openly support Israel’s doomsday designs against the Aqsa Mosque as well as Israel’s ongoing crimes against Palestinian civilians… Israel has already killed any remaining realistic prospects for the establishment of a viable Palestinian state on the territories Israel occupied in 1967… Now, Israel under Netanyahu wants to complete the “final solution” for the Palestinian question by getting some Arab regimes to endorse the liquidation of the Palestinian cause under the rubric of fighting terror.”

Hillary-Pretty-in-PinkHillary Clinton’s Take on Banks Won’t Hold Up – The Democratic frontrunner seems to be counting on America’s ignorance about the 2008 crash – by Matt Taibbi, RollingStone.com – “Hillary, like her close advisor Barney Frank, has been pushing an idea that banks aren’t at the root of any financial instability problem. Last night, she pointed a finger instead at “shadow banking,” non-bank actors like AIG, and a dead investment bank in Lehman Brothers. (Interesting she didn’t mention a still-viable investment bank like Goldman, Sachs, which has hosted her expensive speaking engagements.).. This squeamishness about criticizing banks is laughable to people in the industry. But of course, that’s probably the point – that the average voter won’t know how absurd and desperate it is to point to faceless “shadow” financiers as villains when the real bad guys are famed mega-firms that are right out in the open, with their names plastered all over every second city block.”

The MH-17 ‘Report’ – by Paul Craig Roberts, InformationClearingHouse.info – “I did not intend to write about the report, because Washington’s propaganda has already succeeded, at least in the Western world, in its purpose of laying the blame on Russia. However, the misrepresentation of the Dutch report by Western media, such as NPR, is so outrageous as to make the media the story and not the report… For example, I just heard NPR’s Moscow correspondent, Corey Flintoff, say that the missile that hit the airliner was fired by Ukrainian separatists who lack the technical ability to operate the system. Therefore, the missile had to have been fired by a Russian… There is nothing in the Dutch report whatsoever that leads to this conclusion. Flintoff either is incompetent or lying or he is expressing his view and not the report’s conclusion… The only conclusion that the report reaches is one that we already knew: if a Buk missile brought down the airliner, it was a Russian-made missile. The Dutch report does not say who fired it… Indeed, the report places no blame on Russia, but it does place blame on Ukraine for not closing the airspace over the war area.”

MH-17: The Dog Still Not Barking – by Robert Parry, InformationClearingHouse.info – “The Dutch Safety Board report concludes that an older model Buk missile apparently shot down Malaysia Airline Flight 17 on July 17, 2014, but doesn’t say who possessed the missile and who fired it. Yet, what is perhaps most striking about the report is what’s not there – nothing from the U.S. intelligence data on the tragedy… The dog still not barking is the absence of evidence from U.S. spy satellites and other intelligence sources that Secretary of State John Kerry insisted just three days after the shoot-down pinpointed where the missile was fired, an obviously important point in determining who fired it… On July 20, 2014, Kerry declared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that ‘we picked up the imagery of this launch. We know the trajectory. We know where it came from. We know the timing. And it was exactly at the time that this aircraft disappeared from the radar.’.. But such U.S. government information is not mentioned in the 279-page Dutch report, which focused on the failure to close off the eastern Ukrainian war zone to commercial flights and the cause of the crash rather than who fired on MH-17. A Dutch criminal investigation is still underway with the goal of determining who was responsible but without any sign of an imminent conclusion.”

France’s top weatherman sparks storm over book questioning climate change – Philippe Verdier, weather chief at France Télévisions, the country’s state broadcaster, reportedly sent on “forced holiday” for releasing book accusing top climatologists of “taking the world hostage” – by Henry Samuel, Telegraph.co.uk – ” In a promotional video, Mr Verdier said: ‘Every night I address five million French people to talk to you about the wind, the clouds and the sun. And yet there is something important, very important that I haven’t been able to tell you, because it’s neither the time nor the place to do so.’.. He added: ‘We are hostage to a planetary scandal over climate change – a war machine whose aim is to keep us in fear.’.. His outspoken views led France 2 to take him off the air starting this Monday. ‘I received a letter telling me not to come. I’m in shock,” he told RTL radio. “This is a direct extension of what I say in my book, namely that any contrary views must be eliminated.’ ”

Drone-NeutralizerCompany Releases Video of First Ever Drone Neutralizer Gun – by Amanda Warren, ActivistPost.com – “A U.S. non-profit company has just released an impressive video of a drone neutralizing gun that successfully forces an airborne drone to land almost immediately. The futuristic-looking gun can down a drone at 400 meters using radio signals… The company’s name sounds like a cross between “battle” and the toy company Mattel – Battelle, based in Ohio. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to get your hands on one of these to keep surveillance bots out of your private space – they are only being marketed to the U.S. Government… The U.S. Sci-tech contractor will make them available to the government next year, signaling that it is really only government agents that are able to protect themselves from the very invasive weapons that they themselves monopolize.” (emph. added)

Toxic Lithium Being Sprayed Over Oregon And The US – by Ann Fillmore, PhD, Rense.com – “Excerpt from Locke’s first letter: ‘For example, I could have warned thousands of people of the ongoing (as of January 27th) spraying to manufacture air stagnation in the Rogue and Umpqua Valleys, as well as much of the Oregon Coast south of Florence. The artificially induced period of air stagnation is part of a larger experiment testing the efficacy of psychoactive chemical dispersal from high altitudes. Currently, spraying is most intense along the coast itself and above inland valleys. The stagnant air currents in the region allow for more direct application of psychoactive agents to test populations… ‘I have little formal contact with the chemistry department, but to my knowledge Lithium is the primary substance being dispersed in the aforementioned experiment. Given the psychoactive/social nature of the ongoing tests, my department is playing a secondary role collecting water and soil samples… ‘The Sociological Research Division however, has operatives throughout the region gathering a massive amount of data regarding the test population’s behavioral traits, like consumer habits, political engagement levels, and awareness of geoengineering programs.’ ”
I would urge you to inform your friends and peers of this fact, as avoiding observation by refusing to take surveys and engaging in similar actions that can disrupt this sordid research.“

Kerri_RiveraMother of Autistic Boy Discovers Treatment That Cures Hundreds – by Alex Pietrowski, WakingTimes.com – “Effective treatment for autism is desperately needed, but the medical establishment has been largely unsuccessful. This is why parents of autistic children, such as Kerri Rivera, often have no choice but to take matters into their own hands when learning to cope with raising an autistic child. To share her amazing discoveries in treating autism with the world she wrote the book Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism, which explains the treatment protocol she developed… Rivera developed the Chlorine Dioxide (CD) autism treatment protocol that addresses the presence of pathogens, such as fungi, bacteria, heavy metals, parasites, candida, etc., found in almost every child with autism. She believes that CD treatment effectively kills off these pathogens that are causing inflammation and autoimmune response, which in turn manifest themselves into a complex of symptoms, which we call autism, that produce near complete impairment of social interactions… Rivera’s treatment has reportedly resulted in the recovery of over one hundred autistic children, and many parents would even consider her protocol to a possible autism cure.”

Putin-StirredVladimir Putin – Agent of the Awakening? – by ZenGardner.com – “Well, well, well, aren’t we seeing a massive turnaround of late. Putin was so sharp, calm and truthful at the UN and other recent speeches and interviews compared to the same old Amerikan false bravado diatribe it was like having a clean shower after swimming through a cesspool… And the whole free world feels the same… What I admire about him is his cool demeanor and very artful tact in how he approaches massively sensitive subjects. He has to cloak it in “diplomati-speak” of course to reach the type of audience within those bound up layers of communication, but he does it masterfully. You don’t sense the BS factor and full on propagandized deception you get from the Obamaramadingdong script reading puppet… I know the whirled stage is just that, but nothing’s written in stone and there are always “free floating radicals”. Whatever engineered plans are afoot, there’s always plenty of room for error in their programming – as well as their assumption that the rest of the world will automatically buy into it as they imperiously assume.”

For the week of 10/5/15:

The Russian Bear Growls – President Bashar Assad Is No Great Satan – by Eric Margolis, InformationClearingHouse.info – “After watching Syria be slowly destroyed, Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, moved his rook onto the Syrian chessboard. For the first time since 1991, Moscow sent a small expeditionary unit of 50 warplanes to Syria both to shore up the Assad regime and to reaffirm that Russia has long-standing strategic interests in Syria… Few of the administration’s bumbling amateur strategists likely knew that Russia claimed during the 19th century to be the rightful protector of Mideast Christians. Russia watched in dismay the destruction of Iraq’s ancient Christian communities caused by the overthrow of their protector, President Saddam Hussein. Moscow has vowed not to let a similar crime happen again to Syria’s Christians… Russia is also clearly reasserting a degree of her former Mideast influence. In 1970, Russian pilots tangled with Israeli warplanes over the Suez Canal during the “War of Attrition.” The flying time from Moscow to Damascus is about the same as New York City to Miami. Syria is in Russia’s backyard, not America’s… A highly effective propaganda war waged against Syria and Russia by the US, French and British media has so demonized Syria’s President Assad that Washington will find it very difficult to negotiate or include him in a peace deal. The US made the same stupid mistake with Afghanistan’s Taliban and now is paying the price.”

Media Continues to Call for the Use of Gov’t Force to Confiscate Millions of Guns – by Alex Thomas, Activist Post.com – “At this point the anti-gun agenda has completely and fully revealed itself as having absolutely NOTHING to do with “common sense” gun control and everything to do with full-scale gun confiscation and the eventual complete banning of legal gun ownership in America… The liberal media and their globalist masters, by continually claiming that they only want to stop mass shootings while at the same time openly calling for confiscation, have also revealed that they truly do believe that the American people are mindless sheep who will believe anything they hear on TV… Going forward it is extremely important for all Americans to understand what media pundits and gun control groups are actually calling for when they bring up Australia while also using calls to model US laws on the country as direct proof that there is nothing common or sensible about the “reforms” they are pushing.”

Al_Nusra-Executes_WomanWar Party Hates Putin – Loves al-Qaeda – by Justin Raimondo, AntiWar.com – ” ‘Jamil al-Saleh, a defected Syrian army officer who is now the leader of the rebel group Tajammu al-Aaza, told AlSouria.net that the Russian airstrikes targeted his group’s base in al-Lataminah, a town in the western Syrian governorate of Hama. That area represents one of the farthest southern points of the rebel advance from the north and is therefore a crucial front line in the war. An alliance of Syrian rebel factions, including both the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front and groups considered by Washington to be more moderate, successfully drove Assad regime forces out of the northern governorate of Idlib and are now pushing south into Hama.’ –Foreign Policy… By the way, according to the Pentagon’s own testimony before a congressional committee, only sixty “vetted” fighters were sent into Syria to take on both Assad and ISIS. And while they denied, at first, that their pet “moderates” betrayed Washington and handed over most of their weapons and other equipment to al-Qaeda in return for “safe passage,” the Pentagon later admitted it. Furthermore, we were told that these were the only “vetted” fighters actually in the field, but now we are confronted with “Tajammu al-Aaza,” which – it’s being reported – is deploying US-supplied missile guidance systems against Syrian government forces”

Chris_Mercer-selfie_altered CNN Alters Photo of Umpqua Killer Chris Harper-Mercer to Make Him Look White – by Jim Hoft, PrisonPlanet.com – “Via Conservative Treehouse: On the left is the selfie Christopher Mercer uploaded to his social media. On the right is how CNN presented the same selfie in broadcast stories about him. Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast? Why is no-one showing pictures of mom, Laurel Margaret Harper… His online profiles have been erased since the shooting.” – Note: Mercer’s nostrils have also been obviously altered and lips made thinner. Wow.

Militant groups reject UN peace initiative on Syria – from PressTV.ir – “The militant groups issued a statement on Saturday rejecting the initiative by the UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura… The statement, a rare case of unity among the militant groups, which include those directly backed by the United States such as Division 101, said the initiative includes mechanisms that would more benefit the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad… ‘We consider that the ‘work groups’ initiative in its current form and its unclear mechanisms provides the perfect environment to reproduce’ the government, said the statement by the so-called National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.”

Russia-T14_Armata-captionCold War Mentality: NATO Should Prepare for War With Russia – UK Officials – from SputnikNews.com – “Former UK army officials said that the Russian military is more effective in comparison to NATO’s, calling on the bloc’s leaders to urgently invest more money on improvement of joint force capabilities and to “revisit Cold War scenarios, and this includes conventional, symmetric warfare in Eastern Europe,” The Sunday Express reported… First, British Army officials appear alarmed by the ability of the Armata battle tank, which is an example of a new generation of Russian power tanks with nothing comparable elsewhere in the world. It can easily withstand any attack by NATO’s anti-tank missiles, both already in existence and those yet-to-be invented.”

Russia Uses High Tech Smart Bombs to Wipe Out US Sponsored Al Qaeda Terrorists. Panic in Rebel Ranks – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Lebanon-based Arab satellite television Al Mayadeen reported ISIS forces evacuating areas around their stronghold Raqqa location. Unknown numbers pulled out… After Russia’s campaign began, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said ISIS and other terrorist groups are being targeted. ‘These organizations are well known and the targets are chosen in coordination with the armed forces of Syria.’.. US media feature willful Pentagon misinformation and Big Lies, including Air Force General Robert Otto claiming Russia is using “dumb bombs,” not laser-guided precision weapons, accusing Moscow irresponsibly of indiscriminate bombing – polar opposite truth… Claims about Russian air strikes killing civilians are willfully falsified. Targets are carefully chosen to avoid them – unlike how America operates.”

UN_2030-Off_2_SeeAt UN Summit, World Rulers Adopt Agenda for Global Socialism – by Alex Newman, TheNewAmerican.com – “A far-reaching United Nations plot to re-engineer civilization and impose global socialism on humanity, variously dubbed “Agenda 2030” and the “Sustainable Development Agenda,” was ushered in on Friday with a “thunderous standing ovation,” the UN Department of Public Information reported. Every one of the 193 UN member governments on the planet — from communist and Islamist dictatorships to those ruling what remains of the “Free World” — vowed to help impose the UN’s controversial goals on their subjects. Indeed, according to the UN and the global agreement itself, not a single human being will be allowed to escape what one prominent internationalist ominously referred to as the next “Great Leap Forward.” ”

The Making of a Sociopathic Killer: A List of Risk Factors for School Shooters – by Gary Kohl, OpEdNews.com – “There is an immense amount of evidence that legally prescribed psychiatric drugs are major contributors to acts of violence. This evidence has been gathered (and even published [in peer reviewed journals and alternative media outlets that don’t take advertising revenue from Big Pharma]) by a number of science writers, pharmaceutical industry whistle-blowers, courageous neuroscientists, good investigative journalists and a multitude of silenced psychiatric drug survivors. The range of acts of violence by Drug-intoxicated psych patients range from self-harm to suicidal thinking to suicidal attempts to homicidal thinking to mass murder, and the media is silent on the psych drug connection. (For more on the large variety of aberrant behaviors strongly linked to the so-called SSRI antidepressants, go to www.ssristories.net.).. It is important to acknowledge that the mainstream media’s uber-wealthy corporate media owners profit mightily from Big Pharma’s prime time advertising. It is also important to acknowledge that these media elites also profit mightily from their Wall Street investments in the pharmaceutical industry sector. Given those realities it is just good business sense to suppress any unwelcome information that would adversely impact their corporate or personal bottom lines. And so the McCarthy-era black-listing of truth-tellers, uncorrupted scientists, authors, whistle-blowers and real journalists is the norm wherever corporations and the wealthy elite rule.”

Yet another psych drug shooter: Oregon gunman Christopher Mercer was taking five types of medication, likely vaccine-damaged with autism spectrum disorder – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “New information is now emerging about Christopher Mercer, the now-deceased shooter who recently killed and injured numerous victims at the Oregon community college (Umpqua Community College). While the mainstream media follows the predictable script of blaming guns for the violence, we now know that Mercer was almost certainly damaged by vaccines and medications, altering his mind and leading to the violent behavior that we see so often when psychiatric medications are involved… We now know that Harper was possibly vaccine-damaged because he suffered from Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. As printed in The New York Times…”

The_Bernank-CluelessGlobal Financial Meltdown Coming? Clear Signs That The Great Derivatives Crisis Has Now Begun – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – ” ‘Speaking at a Wall Street Journal event on Wednesday morning, Bernanke said, ‘I don’t see any obvious major mispricings. Nothing that looks like the housing bubble before the crisis, for example. But you shouldn’t trust me.’ ‘… I certainly agree with that last sentence. Bernanke was the one telling us that there was not going to be a recession back in 2008 even after one had already started. He was clueless back then and he is clueless today… Most of our “leaders” either don’t understand what is happening or they are not willing to tell us… So that means that we have to try to figure things out for ourselves the best that we can. And right now there are signs all around us that another 2008-style crisis has begun… Personally, I am hoping that there will be a lot more days like today when the markets were relatively quiet and not much major news happened around the world… Unfortunately for all of us, these days of relative peace and tranquility are about to come to a very abrupt end.”

Russian_DestroyerHas Russia Declared A “No-Float Zone” In Syria? – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “Russian warships and reconnaissance vessels are speeding out of the Black Sea into the Mediterranean as I write. The ships will establish a no float zone for any ships trying to interdict the arrival of over 140,000 Russian soldiers at the ports of Tartous and Latakia. Moreover, it appears Russian aircraft are increasing sorties over Syria and have crossed the border into Turkey in pursuit of Erdoghan’s murderous criminals. The decision to increase Russia’s role in the conflict was not made yesterday, as Waleed Mu’allim, Syria’s Foreign Minister, stated in an interview. This was, as I reported, a plan that had been drawn up by General Gerasimov and his assistants years ago. The only impediments were Syria’s obsession with keeping foreign boots off Syrian soil and the assurances from Syrian Army generals that the war would be over by now without foreign intervention. Dr. Assad has made the intelligent and courageous decision to set aside Ba’athist fears of occupation and bring Russia fully into the conflict.” –previously reliable journalist, Ziad Fadel

Escalation of US Military Involvement in Ukraine. Vietnam 2.0 in the Making? – By John Stanton, GlobalResearch.ca – “Surreptitious escalation of US military involvement in Ukraine is the order of the day. Consider this comment from US Senator Jack Reid (Democrat): ‘One step that should be explored, he said, is taking Ukrainian forces outside the country and training them on the provided weapon systems, “so they’re ready.” ‘Second is the possibility of transferring some of these systems from other countries into Ukraine, which doesn’t raise quite the visibility of the transfer,’ he said. ‘And then there’s the possibility of taking some of our systems and beginning to…deploy them to training areas particularly so that they can train on them and have them ready to move into areas of conflict,’ he said… He also said Ukraine has an extensive military industrial base that could be used to produce the weapons, but that would take time and financing.”

Turkish_Syria_bufferZone NATO Prepares to Send Troops to Protect Turkey from Russian “Threats”Deployment will effectively provide military support for ISIS and al-Nusra– by Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com – “NATO boss Jens Stoltenberg said during a meeting of defense ministers in Brussels on Thursday the alliance is prepared to send ground troops to protect Turkey’s border with Syria… ‘Nato is ready and able to defend all allies, including Turkey against any threats,’ Stoltenberg said… The move is in response to a claim by Turkey a Russian warplane violated its airspace last week… Ankara scrambled two F-16s to intercept the Russian aircraft and summoned the Russian ambassador in protest… According to McClatchy, however, the Russian jet did not violate Turkish airspace… Earlier this week a leaked German intelligence document confirmed reports that Turkey is directly assisting Harakat Ahrar ash-Sham al-Islamiyya, a coalition of Islamist and Salafist units that have vowed to establish a Sunni Wahhabist state under Sharia law in Syria… Ahrar ash-Sham is aligned with al-Nusra which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.”

Netanyahu-VictoriousKilling Fields: Are Israeli Forces Preparing For Another Genocidal Massacre of Palestinians? – by 21wire, 21stCenturyWire.com – “Not surprisingly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is blaming this fall’s wave of violence on the native Arabs and foreign countries who support them. He blamed recent violence on the Palestinian Authority that (sort of) controls the West Bank, and of course he blames Hamas in Gaza, claiming that their “incitement and libels and lies” have set off unrest… ‘All of us, we’re in the midst of a wave of terrorism… terrorists that are incited, filled with hatred and trying to hurt people,’ said Netanyahu… Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has stated he does not want the current situation to escalate. Many feel that Abbas is holding back a new intifada, but wonder for how long.”

Baby taken into care over fears it could be radicalised: Child is among 20 taken from their parents in crackdown on Islamists – by Ian Drury, Dailymail.co.uk – “A baby is among more than 20 children who have been made the subject of court orders amid fears they could be radicalised by Islamists… Judges have issued care or wardship proceedings involving at least 11 families amid concerns their children could be taken or lured out of the country to join Islamic State… The youngest – a one-year-old – was part of a family of nine Britons from Rochdale who were caught trying to sneak into Syria from Turkey in April.”

Hilary-n-Tony-on_The_TeamHillary’s surprising ties to Tony Blair – by Sarah Westwood, WashingtonExaminer.com – “Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair, the former prime minister of Britain, enjoyed a close personal relationship that allowed them to collude on a number of foreign policy issues behind the scenes… Blair went from helping the former secretary of state make moves in the Middle East to joining former Clinton insiders at a well-connected consulting firm whose work has stoked concerns that the Clintons help their friends profit off their personal ties… Additional details about Blair’s relationship with Clinton have emerged in several batches of private emails that have been released by the State Department at the end of each month, including those published Wednesday.”

Over 2,000 PKK militants slain in Turkish military operations – from PressTV.ir – “Turkish Interior Minister Selami Altinok says more than 2,000 members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have been killed ever since the Turkish military launched clean-up operations against the militants in late June… ‘Since July 22, a total of 2,483 terrorist attacks have taken place in Turkey. Turkish gendarmerie, security and armed forces have also conducted 4,328 operations in the country during which over 2,000 terrorists were neutralized,’ Altinok told state-run Anadolu news agency on Monday… He further noted that Turkey would not allow anyone to harm its sovereignty.”

Walt_PerettoInternational bankers orchestrate economic crises to loot masses: American writer – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘When the economy crashes people don’t have the money to pay their bills and their loans. When this happens, real material wealth is transferred to these very same banks through foreclosures and repossessions,’ Walt Peretto said in an interview with Press TV on Monday. ‘It’s the biggest con job ever perpetrated against mankind.’.. In a recent interview with Russia Today, former US presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul said that the biggest economic crash ever will hit the American economy when current “bubbles” burst… ‘The way the Western economic system is constructed, the potential for a catastrophic economic crash wreaking havoc across the globe is ever present,’ Peretto said.”

Globalist agriculture cartel pillages Ukraine as IMF and World Bank wage war to expand Monsanto’s GMO empire – by S. Johnson, NaturalNews.com – “When Ukraine’s pro-Western government was placed in office following the 2014 Maidan Revolution, these previously tabled aid packages were suddenly back on the table. One such aid deal was a $3.5 billion package, financed by the World Bank, which imposed neoliberal conditions on Ukraine as a precondition for lending the nation money. Specifically, the World Bank essentially required Ukraine to curtail its own sovereignty by ‘removing restrictions that hinder competition and by limiting the role of state ‘control’ in economic activities.’.. The new government wasted no time bringing in foreign investment, which, according to the Oakland Institute, is ‘likely to result in further expansion of large-scale acquisitions of agricultural land by foreign companies and further corporatization of agriculture in the country.’ “

Look-Film-this-too Video: Iraqis Accuse US of Arming ISIS After Discovering Alleged Weapons Airdrop – by Mikael Thalen, PrisonPlanet.com – “The unknown man goes on to claim that both food and weapons were supplied to ISIS fighters during their time in the area… ‘These are American parachutes that the Americans sent to IS when they were here in Baiji,’ he states. ‘With them they sent weapons and food. So that no one can say that we are lying, film this so you will see…’ According to Guardian contributor Hayder al-Khoei, who posted the footage to Twitter Thursday, “Vids like this & others of helos flying above Hashd/ISF positions towards ISIS-held areas” often reinforce the popular ‘narrative that US supports ISIS in Iraq.’.. As noted by the Wall Street Journal last June, a growing number of Iraqi residents believe ISIS jihadists are receiving direct support from the American government in light of the terror group’s continued gains… ‘We all know that America is providing ISIS with weapons and food, and that it is because of American backing that they have become so strong,’ Abbas Hashem, a 50-year-old who fled Ramadi, told reporters.”

Deutsche Bank May Swell $14 Billion Selloff in China Bank Stakes – from Bloomberg.com – “Deutsche Bank AG’s signal that it may sell a $3.5 billion stake in Huaxia Bank Co. shows the fading appetite among global lenders for tie-ups with their Chinese counterparts… That’s a turnaround from before the global financial crisis, when Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. were among those buying in, often ahead of firms’ listings… Global lenders including Bank of America and Goldman Sachs Group have raised at least $14 billion divesting shares in Chinese lenders since the start of 2012, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Hang Seng Bank Ltd., controlled by HSBC Holdings Plc, is getting out of Industrial Bank Co., while Spain’s Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA is exiting from China Citic Bank Corp.”

Israeli-American Terror Machine exposed, checkmated and decimated in Syria – Thanks to Putin’s remarkable decimation of ISIS in Syria and checkmate and exposure of the Israeli-American Terror Machine, there is no longer any need for Homeland Security inside America – by Preston James, Ph.D, VeteransToday.com – “Both the US Administration and the Pentagon have now admitted that the USG has been supporting the FSA which was supposed to be fighting ISIS but instead was trying to displace President Assad… And a highly ranked retired American General has now even admitted that the USG allowed ISIS to exist and develop… And it was even reported in the Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM) that the US Administration admitted that approximately 3.5 million dollars was wasted on each so-called CIA mercenary sheep-dipped to be an FSA fighter which was instead trying to dispose President Assad but failing in that too… President Obama has now admitted that the USG has been supporting ISIS and the FSA. This probably constitutes a major turning point in the PNACers and the Israeli-American “Israeli-first” Dual Citizens who have infiltrated and hijacked the Pentagon maintaining power there.”

Climate Alarmist Caught in ‘Largest Science Scandal in U.S. History’ – by James Delingpole, Breitbart.com – “…his first, far bigger mistake, was his hubris in organizing the letter in the first place. It drew the attention of Shukla’s critics to something which, presumably, he would have preferred to keep secret: that for nearly 14 years, he, his family and his friends have been gorging themselves on taxpayers’ money at IGES; and that this money comes on top of the very generous salary he receives for doing much the same work at George Mason University (GMU)… It’s the latter detail which has led former Virginia State Climatologist Pat Michaels – one of the skeptics who might have been affected by Shukla’s proposed RICO prosecutions – to describe this asthe largest science scandal in US history.’ “

Snowden-SmartPhoneOne Secret Text Gives any Police State Agency Total Control of Your Phone – Even When It’s Off – by Jay Syrmopoulos, ActivistPost.com – “Whistleblower Edward Snowden, in an interview with the BBC’s ‘Panorama,’ spoke in detail about a stunning array of cyber spying tools used by the U.K.’s GCHQ to hack smartphones with a single text message. The spyware package is named after the little blue cartoon characters; the Smurfs… ‘It’s called an ‘exploit’,’ Snowden said. ‘That’s a specially crafted message that’s texted to your number like any other text message but when it arrives at your phone it’s hidden from you. It doesn’t display. You paid for [the phone] but whoever controls the software owns the phone,’ he added… Smartphone users can do “very little” to stop security services getting “total control” over their devices, according to Snowden.”

Dem_Peoples_Party-BombedBlast Shakes Ankara Just in Time to Justify NATO Incursion into Syria – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “A massive blast has killed at least 30 and injured over 100 more in NATO-member Turkey’s capital of Ankara. The blast appears to have targeted the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) who was holding a peace rally at the moment of the explosion… CNN would report in their article, “30 killed in bombing near main train station in Turkey’s capital,” that: ‘At least one powerful bomb hit near the main train station in the Turkish capital Saturday morning, killing 30 people, authorities said, making it the deadliest attack in Ankara in recent memory.’.. It would also claim that: ‘No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on the ISIS terrorist group or on Kurdish separatists in Turkey.’ (emph. added) – Right

Saudi Arabia to supply militants in Syria with ‘lethal’ weapons – from PressTV.ir – “Riyadh would dispatch an arsenal of modern, high-powered weaponry, including guided anti-tank weapons, to three foreign-sponsored militant groups of Jaish al-Fatah (the Army of Conquest), the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Southern Front, the state-run BBC reported on Thursday, citing an unnamed ‘well-placed Saudi government official’… The official further said that Qatar and Turkey had been playing a key role in maintaining the Saudi support for militants fighting against Syrian government forces. He also did not rule out the possibility of supplying surface-to-air missiles to militants.”

Leiberman-Support_Iran_AttacksSyria: US Success Would Only Be the End of the Beginning – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “This regime in Tehran is hopeless. It’s not going to change. There’s no evidence … every piece of evidence says the contrary. So I hope we can find a way, we used to do this not so long ago, supporting opposition groups in Iran. They deserve our support, and actually they would constitute a form of pressure on the government in Tehran that would unsettle them as much as anything else we could do because it would threaten the survival of the regime which from every objective indicator I can see is a very unpopular regime in Iran.” (emphasis added by Cartalucci)

The Emperor Has No Clothes, and Neither Do Monsanto’s ‘Scientists’ – by Katherine Paul, OrganicConsumers.org – “Turns out that Monsanto executive solicited pro-GMO articles from university researchers, and passed the “research” off as independent science which the biotech giant then used to prop up its image and further its agenda… We know this, thanks to thousands of pages of emails obtained by US Right to Know, under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). And because a host of news outlets—including the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Bloomberg, the StarPhoenix and others—are now running with the story.”

‘Went in like Gestapo’–Sonoma sheriffs’ bloody rampage – by Richard Becker, LiberationNews.org – “At a press conference in Santa Rosa, about 60 miles north of San Francisco, attorney Isaak Schwaiger announced the legal action, and described the actions of the deputies: ‘Dressed in black, wearing black body armor, black ski masks and without badges, they went in like the Gestapo. From one module to the other end they carried on the beatings for five-and-a-half hours. Some prisoners were beaten four times.’.. Joining Schwaiger at the speakers table were Laurie Banks, mother of Daniel Banks, and Karina Arango Lopez, sister of Jesus Lopez, who received particularly extreme and prolonged torture… Laurie Banks read from a letter from her son, who was in the last cell attacked: ‘Mom I knew they were coming, they were going down the line.’ She continued, ‘he was scared for his life. He had no idea how bad the beatings were.’

Atlit_Camp-IsraelUntold Story of British WWII Concentration Camps for Jewish Refugees – from SputnikNews.com – “…the nationwide Kristallnacht (“Night of Crystal”) in Germany in November 1938 facilitated a sharp increase in Jewish emigration… But where could they go? It was a time when Palestine was seen by many as the only light at the end of the tunnel… The grim irony of the situation was that the British concentration camps looked strikingly similar to those established by Nazi Germany in Europe… Tens of thousands of desperate Jewish asylum seekers were captured by the British on the shores of Palestine and placed into detainee camps.”

“Marketplace” Program, from ‘Nonprofit’ NPR, Pumps Fascism – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “On October 7th, U.S. National Public Radio’s (NPR’s) “Marketplace’ show headlined glowingly ‘How the TPP will drive domestic reform in Asia’… (Kai) Ryssdahl (of NPR’s Marketplace) reported there the views of only those four people, one of them President Obama, who created his three mega-‘trade’ deals — TPP, TTIP & TISA — and three supporters of these ‘trade’ deals. That’s all… However, in reality, these ‘trade’ deals are the most corrupt and dangerous three treaties in the history of the world; and, if they get passed into law, then democracy will be dead, or else meaningless, in the signing nations, because regulations there will get locked in permanently, with no ability to be increased where needed in order to accommodate new scientific findings; and sovereignty will to a large extent pass from voters via national elections, to huge international corporations, whose ‘rights’ are in these deals placed above the rights of the voters and taxpayers of the participating signatory nations. It would be international corporate fascism, but the ’nonprofit’ NPR propaganda-operation in the U.S. calls it ‘reform’ and other such lies.”

For the week of 9/28/15:

Putin-UN-Gen-Assy-9-28-15Speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the UN 70th General Assembly (Updated with <video &> transcript!) – from TheSaker.is – “We all know that after the end of the Cold War the world was left with one center of dominance, and those who found themselves at the top of the pyramid were tempted to think that, since they are so powerful and exceptional, they know best what needs to be done and thus they don’t need to reckon with the UN, which, instead of rubber-stamping the decisions they need, often stands in their way… That’s why they say that the UN has run its course and is now obsolete and outdated. Of course, the world changes, and the UN should also undergo natural transformation. Russia is ready to work together with its partners to develop the UN further on the basis of a broad consensus, but we consider any attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the United Nations as extremely dangerous. They may result in the collapse of the entire architecture of international relations, and then indeed there will be no rules left except for the rule of force. The world will be dominated by selfishness rather than collective effort, by dictate rather than equality and liberty, and instead of truly independent states we will have protectorates controlled from outside.”

Jeff_BerwickUS Moves Closer to Internal Passport System – by Jeff Berwick, DollarVigilante.com – “…the idea that US Homeland Security is charging ahead with what amounts to an internal US passport system is ludicrous… Such a system is so bad, so entirely retrograde, that we can find its roots in the Axis countries of the Second World War and of course in Communist countries of the same period. It is no accident that that system came under attack after the fall of the USSR… The idea that leviathan has the authority to track, trace and limit one’s travel ought to frighten the living daylights out of any US citizen concerned with fundamental constitutional rights…Homeland Security – a Bush concocted authoritarian facility – has been trying to implement “Real ID” for years and has received so much pushback that it isn’t much further along than it was when this disastrous nonsense was first passed in 2005.”

Hundreds of Iranian Soldiers in Syria for Major Ground Offensive: Report – from InformationClearingHouse.info – “As Russia has started airtrikes in Syria, hundreds of Iranian soldiers preparing to join government forces in a major ground offensive have reportedly arrived in the country in the past 10 days, sources told Reuters on Thursday… The ground offensive, according to the two Lebanese sources who talked to Reuters, will work in concert with the Russian bombardment and may be focused in the Idlib and Hama countryside… ‘They are not advisors … we mean hundreds with equipment and weapons. They will be followed by more,’ a second source told Reuters… Iraqis will also take part in the joint operation, the source said… News of the arrival of the Iranian soldiers comes a day after Russian warplanes began to strike Syria alongside government warplanes, drawing criticism from the US, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.”

mark-zuckerberg-7.jpgMark Zuckerberg Caught on Hot Mic Saying Facebook Will Censor Anti-Migrant Posts – by Mikael Thalen, PrisonPlanet.com – “According to CNBC, the pair were caught on a hot mic after Merkel confronted Zuckerberg on social media posts critical of ‘the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany.’.. After being asked about Facebook’s efforts to curtail speech, Zuckerberg stated, ‘We need to do some work,’ confirming he’d already started looking at ways to hinder comments in opposition to Merkel’s immigration stance… ‘Are you working on this?’ Merkel asked. “Yeah,” Zuckerberg responded before their microphone was cut… In response to the shocking revelation, media outlets such as Bloomberg immediately leapt to the defense of the tech giant, insinuating that any critique of the German government’s response to the migrant crisis would be “racist” and “xenophobic.” ”

Is Glencore The Next Lehman? The World’s Largest Commodities Trading Company Is Toast – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “When Glencore goes down, they will take a whole lot of others with them. That is because Glencore is tied to trillions of dollars worth of derivatives trades all over the planet. According to Zero Hedge, we are looking at ‘the start of a self-fulfilling prophecy which leads to the Companys’s IG downgrade and the collapse of trillions in derivative notionals as what may be the trading desk of the biggest commodity counterparty quietly goes out of business.’.. For years I have been ranting about the danger of derivatives. In article after article I warned that they would play a starring role in the next financial crisis… Now the reality of what I was warning about is staring us right in the face… The “nothing is happening” crowd is completely and utterly clueless. There are these people running around telling everyone that the stock market decline is “over” and that we aren’t about to experience another great financial crisis… I don’t understand how these people can be so ignorant. Global giants such as Glencore, Petrobras and Deutsche Bank are imploding right in front of our eyes.”

As a Future Labour Government Becomes Reality, Tories Panic as Bankers See Gravy-Train Crashing – by Anthony Bellchambers, GlobalResearch.ca – “Multinational companies currently protected by the Conservative government will be forced in future to pay taxes in the country where they make their profits… Those disadvantaged, disabled and unable to work will have benefits reinstated ­ provided, of course, that they survive this administration… Insider trading and £1million annual bonuses will be made illegal. Tax avoidance by the city will be prosecuted and those found guilty, subject to mandatory imprisonment… Railways and mass transport systems will be nationalised and fares made affordable to all as an essential public service. Shareholders will have to find unearned profits in America or elsewhere… Bonuses for company directors who fail will be abolished by law… A replacement for the Trident nuclear deterrent will only be considered if it is can be proven capable of defending the United Kingdom in the future from the massive undeclared Middle Eastern, nuclear arsenal held by Israel that is outside the inspection of the IAEA.?

Regulated out of Existence: Off-Gridders Forced back on the Grid, Camping on own land Illegal – by Robert Richardson, SHTFPlan.com – “During the last couple of years, Costilla County, Colorado has seen a huge influx in people moving into the San Luis Valley – must of who have moved there to live off the grid. A combination of cheap land, lax zoning regulations, and a community of self-reliant individuals has brought in a large number of off-grid homesteaders into the area. But that life-style is now being threatened as government officials move to make it illegal — something that is becoming a real problem for those who are looking to buy rural land… Last week tensions reached a boiling point, as a scheduled county commissioners’ meeting in San Louis, Colorado, turned into an ugly shouting match between sheriff deputies and off-grid homesteaders. The conflict comes as the county is attempting to ban camping, and force off-grid home owners back on to the grid… Twenty-year resident Paul Skinner summed it up at the planning commission meeting, ‘We are residents who have come to live off the grid. It’s all our land.” … “These are harsh economic times. We have nowhere to go.’ ”

Mom-Baby-n-CopAlabama Cops Using Draconian Law to Steal Babies and Lock Up their Mothers at Alarming Rate – by Justin Gardner, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “A disturbing pattern is emerging out of Alabama that highlights the budding field of authoritarianism as the state ramps up its kidnapping of babies and arresting of mothers — for no reason… In August of 2014, Casey Shehi gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Despite being born four weeks premature, little James was exceptionally strong. However, the celebration of James’ birth was quickly turned into a nightmare when the state got involved… A few weeks after giving birth to a healthy baby boy, Etowah County sheriffs dragged Ms. Shehi away in handcuffs from her job at a nursing home, charging her with “knowingly, recklessly, or intentionally” exposing her baby to controlled substances in the womb… The reason? She took half of a Valium a few weeks before the baby was born, during a particularly bad night in a difficult pregnancy. A drug screen at Gadsden Regional Medical Center showed the presence of benzodiazepines. It should be noted that occasional, small doses of Valium are considered safe during pregnancy… Even though the baby showed no “controlled substances” in his system after birth, and the state’s child welfare agency had concluded they should not take the baby, ruthless cops determined that Ms. Shehi should have her life turned upside down.”

Maine Supreme Court rules that State can vaccinate children against will of parents – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “Four out of five Supreme Court justices in the State of Maine think that parental rights concerning vaccination are moot in the event that the State takes custody of a child. In a landmark ruling that sets a dire precedent for health freedom, the Court decided in a recent case that a mother whose child was taken into custody by the State of Maine no longer has authority to opt out of vaccinations for her own child.”

Putin4Putin Attacks US ‘Information Warfare’: Civilian Bombing Reports Emerged BEFORE Strikes Began – by Stuart Hooper, 21stCenturyWire.com – “This week will go down in history as the time that Western hegemony died; in more than one sense… Russia’s President Putin delivered a landmark speech this week at the UN General Assembly where he truly humiliated Western foreign policy decisions in Syria… Since then, Russia began to launch airstrikes on all forces destabilising the state of Syria… This led to an incredibly embarrassing response from Western mainstream media, claiming that ‘moderate’ terrorists, not ISIS (despite there being no real difference), had been bombed and civilians had been killed… Enter Putin (again), who has now branded those reportsinformation warfare‘. The reason why – is because those reports emerged before any Russian combat missions had even started.”

Oregon Shooting: 13 Troubling Signs Of Potentially Yet Another False Flag – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “So, should we believe that the Oregon shooting is legitimate with no government involvement? I would like to think so, but as always many things surrounding this latest shooting force us to consider if we’re dealing with yet another gun grab shooting designed to push anti-gun legislation. With the new world order’s Agenda 2030 pushed last week with help from the Pope, we know that Obama now has gun control as one of the remaining major items on the top of his list before he leaves office in 2016. The administration desperately needs this gun-control agenda to be pushed through and we’ve seen a laundry list of proven false flag shootings over the past several years… Are you someone who wants to believe this is not so? Then deal with these 13 points which at the very least bring into question this latest shooting.”

Hillary-pointBlankHillary’s Missing Millions – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “I can’t prove it, but I’ll bet that a close analysis of the Clintons, their Foundation, and their “charitable contributions” would show that the Clintons are running a substantial bribery and money laundering operation that allows the paying of bribes under the pretext of making charitable contributions… I’ll bet that Hillary’s “missing” $50 million was “disappeared” by means of contributions to foreign “charities”. If so, we are left to wonder why would the Clintons (the Clintons!) actually donate $50 million (roughly half of their current net worth) to foreign charities. It’s virtually inconceivable that such donations could’ve been made for benign, non-criminal purposes.”

Biden-Kennedy_School-2014Obama Risks A Global Catastrophe – by Daniel Lazare, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Ordinarily, the press might be expected to inject a note of reason except that the major media outlets so far seem as confused (or misleading) as anyone. Anne Barnard and Neil MacFarquhar’s front-page story in Friday’s New York Times is typical of the muddled thinking that passes for journalism these days… Rife with innuendo, it charges that Russia has intervened in Syria in order to embarrass Obama – ‘always a consideration for Mr. Putin’ — and predicts that ‘the glow of early Russian successes will almost certainly fade … as the realities of Syria’s grim, four-year civil war slowly assert themselves. Mr. Assad’s forces are worn down and demoralized, and they are in control of only about 20 percent of Syria’s territory.’.. True enough, although they might have added that if the Syrian military is showing signs of exhaustion, it is because the U.S. and its allies have poured “hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of military weapons” into the arms of the opposition, as Vice President Joe Biden let slip in a talk at Harvard’s Kennedy School last October.”

Deutsche_Bank-Too_Big_toThere Are Indications That A Major Financial Event In Germany Could Be Imminent – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – “Is something about to happen in Germany that will shake the entire world? According to disturbing new intel that I have received, a major financial event in Germany could be imminent. Now when I say imminent, I do not mean to suggest that it will happen tomorrow. But I do believe that we have entered a season of time when another “Lehman Brothers moment” may occur. Most observers tend to regard Germany as the strong hub that is holding the rest of Europe together economically, but the truth is that serious trouble is brewing under the surface. As I write this, the German DAX stock index is down close to 20 percent from the all-time high that was set back in April, and there are lots of signs of turmoil at Germany’s largest bank. There are very few banks in the world that are more prestigious or more influential than Deutsche Bank, and it has been making headlines for all of the wrong reasons recently… Just like we saw with Lehman Brothers, banks that are “too big to fail” don’t suddenly collapse overnight. The truth is that there are always warning signs in advance if you look closely enough.”

Is NOAA Altering Weather Data Ahead of the Big UN Climate Change Meeting? – by Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “In its report on this, The Guardian answers the question “Why has nobody thought of getting a global agreement on this before now?” by saying they’ve been trying to get something going in this area for 20 years now at least but only in the last two decades has “science” consistently pointed in one direction which is that greenhouse gas emissions from industry and fossil fuels are causes global temps to rise… The science, huh? The “settled” science? The data that has “consistently pointed in one direction”?.. Ignore a decades-long cooling period. Ignore Climategate — an organized climate change conspiracy and collusion in exaggerating warming data out of the Climate Research Unit at University of East Anglia — or that NOAA tried to erase the “pause” in warming in 1998 by saying it was just “improperly adjusted data”, for a moment… Also ignore any anomalies that could be caused by clandestine solar radiation management aka geoengineering (spraying of particulates to reduce incoming sunlight) as has been advocated in UN IPCC reports.” (emph. added)

CENSORED: The Atlantic buried this amazing interview with the Health Ranger after realizing his answers made too much sense – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “There’s a lot of relevant information The Atlantic fails to disclose in its stories, it turns out. And for this story on alternative medicine, they interviewed me in great detail, asking me a number of questions about natural medicine, complementary therapies, and so on. But when the story was finally published, Atlantic editors had deleted my entire interview from the story. They didn’t use a single quote… The reasonable question that now comes to mind is whether The Atlantic is also an industry front group or a legitimate journalism organization. It can’t be both. If you consistently print pro-GMO and pro-vaccine articles, you’re shilling for industries of extreme deception and financial collusion. If you engage in real journalism — like Sharyl Attkisson does — you’ll quickly come to discover that the biotech and vaccine industries are filled with actual criminals, felons, violent wife abusers, vaccine science fraudsters, fugitives from justice and other nefarious characters who run their entire operations. See Big Pharma criminality no longer a conspiracy theory: Bribery, fraud, price fixing now a matter of public record.

Death-from-WhereverA Secret War in 135 Countries – 2015 Proves to Be Record-Breaking Year for the Military’s Secret Military – by Nick Turse, CommonDreams.org – “This year, U.S. Special Operations forces have already deployed to 135 nations, according to Ken McGraw, a spokesman for Special Operations Command (SOCOM). That’s roughly 70% of the countries on the planet. Every day, in fact, America’s most elite troops are carrying out missions in 80 to 90 nations, practicing night raids or sometimes conducting them for real, engaging in sniper training or sometimes actually gunning down enemies from afar. As part of a global engagement strategy of endless hush-hush operations conducted on every continent but Antarctica, they have now eclipsed the number and range of special ops missions undertaken at the height of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

California Vaccine Refusers to Get “Court Order” or “CPS Visit” Under SB277 – from HealthImpactNews.com – “The language of SB277 left enforcement and vaccine noncompliance up to the school’s governing authority for each district. Orange County’s Department of Education’s Legal Division interprets that a court order to vaccinate will be an option. Will all California school districts, by way of their legal counsels, be directed to file court orders against noncomplying parents of all school children in 2016? These court orders would essentially trump the unvaccinated special needs child’s legal right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in California under the U.S. Department of Education’s requirements under Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973… The other option given by the Orange County Department of Education’s Legal Division for SB277 vaccine noncompliance directs school staff to “Contact the Orange County Health Care Agency for assistance.” In the real world, this means Child Protective Services (CPS) will most likely get involved. This clear assumption is backed up by the fact that the California Educators Training Module, required to be taken by all teachers and staff, requires the reporting of children to CPS due to ‘Medical neglect, such as not providing appropriate medical care, dental care, or immunizations.’ ”

Francis-I_WonderPope Pushes Malthusian Elite Agenda In Historic Call For New Global Order – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “Government corruption by lobbyists to silence the voices of the people, staged war on terror, endless illegal wars of aggression, ongoing false flag operations with crisis actors, out of control police state, creation and arming proxy terrorist armies like ISIS, geoengineering ongoing crimes against humanity and the planet, ongoing GMO poisoning of the human race’s DNA, the list goes on and on of all the issues ‘Pope Francis’ did NOT address in his “historic” visit to the U.S. this week. The rote ceremonies, staged political speeches and propaganda have been ongoing particularly after the Pope’s visit and speech to Congress where he officially endorsed the coming “sustainable” new world order.”

Agenda 2030 Translator: How to Read the UN’s New Sustainable Development Goals – by Aaron and Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “It’s that time again: the United Nations is officially releasing the all new Agenda 2030 sustainable development plan, or what some have hailed as “the new Agenda 21 on steroids,” at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit kicking off today in New York City… Since these supposedly non-binding international agreements can sometimes be a bit tricky to decode, what with all the weaponized buzz terms and semantics games, we’ve prepared a handy dandy translator on the 17 new Agenda 2030 goals below.” – It’s easy, kids! and don’t worry, there won’t be a test.

VaroufakisAusterity is being used as a cover-story for class war against the poor, Yanis Varoufakis says – Economics professor points to tax cuts for the wealthy and service cuts for others – by Jon Stone, Independent.co.uk – “Also speaking on Question Time Mr Varoufakis praised British institutions like the NHS and universities and said Britain should abandon the current establishment enthusiasm for imposing market economics on them… ‘This market fetishism entered realms it was never meant for,’ he said… Mr Varoufakis also welcomed the election of Jeremy Corbyn and said he hoped the new Labour leader would reinvigorate left-wing politics in the same way Margaret Thatcher did for right-wing politics in the 1980s.”

Swedes’ Homes May Be Confiscated to Accommodate Asylum Seekers – One month of Islam and Multiculturalism in Sweden: August 2015 – by Ingrid Carlqvist, GatestoneInstitute.org – “The question is: Where will they live? More and more people are now worrying that the government will confiscate the homes of Swedes and give them to asylum seekers. In 1992, the “Threat and Risk Assessment Commission” (Hot- och riskutredningen) established that the government should have the option to seize property, especially summer homes, from the Swedish people in a time of crisis. In early September, editorial columnist Anna Dahlberg of Expressen, one of Sweden’s largest dailies, urged Swedes to “make way” and ‘hand over the keys to their apartments to those in greater need.’ ”

Vladimir-Putin-binocsPutin’s calculations in Syria – Vladimir Putin is moving decisively to rescue last Russian foothold in Middle East and on Mediterranean – by Martin Sieff, TheArabWeekly,com –
“Although the move is being painted in the US media as reck­less, meaningless and dangerous, Putin is making a rational calcula­tion. And once again he has caught Obama administration policymak­ers and Israeli Prime Minister Biny­amin Netanyahu by surprise… First, Putin is moving decisively to rescue the last Russian foothold in the Middle East and on the Mediterranean… Russia is a country deeply con­cerned with maintaining the status quo and preserving its increasingly challenged position in the world. That is a far cry from the revolu­tionary communist ideology of the Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras that fantasised with perfect faith about toppling every Sunni Arab monarchy and emirate from the Atlantic to the Indian oceans.”

Cops Illegally Raid Couple’s Organic Farm, Assault them Both because they are “Constitutionalists” – by William N. Grigg, ActivistPost.com – “It’s important to note that at this point, the officers had no direct evidence that criminal conduct was underway or had occurred at the domicile. The receipt of an anonymous third-party report would have justified a “knock-and-talk” contact, but the deputies had neither a warrant nor probable cause, and therefore no legal authority to enter the home without the couple’s consent. This was why they demanded that Bear and Marcela exit the home at gunpoint. When Marcela, the supposed victim, tried to retreat into the home, Detective Perecz committed an act of felonious violence by laying hands on her… As Marcella tried to shut the kitchen door, Perecz, who outweighed her by at least 100 pounds, grabbed her by the left wrist and started to pull the struggling woman from the house… ‘Why are you dragging me out of my home?’ Marcela demanded. ‘Why would you be pulling me out of my home?’ ”

Jeremy_CorbynJeremy Corbyn: 9/11 was ‘manipulated’ – by Peter Dominiczak, Telegraph.co.uk – “In comments that will raise questions about his suitability to lead the Labour Party, Mr Corbyn appeared to blame George Bush and Tony Blair for using the September 11 attacks in New York to allow them to go to war… In a series of further articles, Mr Corbyn also appears to endorse controversial conspiracy theories about a “New World Order”… It comes as Mr Corbyn prepares for his first conference as Labour leader… Mr Corbyn will attempt to use the Brighton conference to unite the party after it threatened to split apart in the wake of his shock election victory… However, a number of Labour MPs are expected to use the conference to publicly state that the party is unelectable under Mr Corbyn.”

Scientists Figure Out How To Transmit Thoughts Over The Internet – from HealthFreedoms.org – “It starts with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’… Researchers have figured out how to send thoughts over the Internet using a brain-to-brain connection and a huge magnet. What could go wrong?.. It sounds kind of cool, at face-value: two people can play a game over the Internet by reading each other’s thoughts. They don’t have to look at each other, and they don’t have to talk to each other. The details of the experiment, and its findings, are published in the journal PLOS One… …Now the researchers are preparing to try to transmit more complex data. They believe the process could be used for “brain tutoring” – transferring signals from healthy brains to developmentally-impaired ones. They say it may also someday allow an alert individual to transmit his brain state to someone who has difficulty paying attention.” (emph. added)

GMO-Safe-to-eat10 Studies Showing That GMOs Can Be VERY Harmful To Human Health! – from HealthFreedoms.org – “Over the past few years, a number of countries have completely banned GMOs and the pesticides that go along with them, and they are doing so for a reason. The latest country to consider a complete ban is Russia after top government scientists recommended at least a 10-year ban… The truth is, we don’t know enough about GMOs to deem them safe for human consumption. Believe it or not the very first commercial sale of them was only twenty years ago. There is no possible way that our health authorities can test all possible combinations on a large enough population, over a long enough period of time to be able to say with absolute certainty that they are harmless… There are a multitude of credible scientific studies that clearly demonstrate why GMOs should not be consumed, and more are emerging every year. There are also a number of scientists all around the world who oppose them.”

Holistic Doctor Didn’t Die of Suspected Heart Attack Autopsy Reports Say – from HealthFreedoms.org – (Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., who worked with (murdered?) Dr. Jeff Bradstreet on GcMAF, died suddenly of unknown causes on Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The following quote is from his website) ” ‘It is with great sadness that the office of Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D. relays news of his untimely death on Tuesday, July 21, 2015. He died suddenly at home of unknown causes. Until then, he had been in excellent health. Preliminary autopsy results have been inconclusive, but do not support the initial belief that he might have suffered a heart attack. Further tests are underway to determine the cause of death.’.. There is no further update at this time. If friends of his who knew him better than we did know more information then they are free to share it, but I’m going with what the official sites says at this time since so many have been asking for an update.”

Francis-n-Ban_Ki_MoonWith Pope’s Help, U.N. Bypasses Congress on Global Socialism – by Cliff Kincaid, Technocracy.news – “While the media pay great attention to the pope, little if any coverage has been given to the involvement of the Vatican in the U.N. “sustainable development” agenda that could radically affect the individual lives of ordinary Americans. The stated purpose of the Podesta panel’s report is to ‘transform economies through sustainable development.’.. It would be nice if the media asked Hillary about the involvement of her campaign chairman in developing this global socialist scheme… In addition to destroying the American system, the recommendations of this so-called high-level body, especially on the matter of “climate action,” could also have a dramatic impact on the lives of people around the world, including the poor, who need access to energy and real economic development to escape poverty.”

“The Guardian” Addresses Geoengineering And The California Drought(Actually, The Guardian Attacks the idea that Geoengineers could be involved in the Drought…) – by Dane Wigington and TheGuardian.com, GeoengineeringWatch.com – “The avalanche of awakening to the climate engineering insanity is beginning, all of us are needed to continue fueling the fire. By working together we have elevated the geoengineering issue to the point that it is becoming too big to hide. More and more mainstream sources are now compelled to address the issue in the attempt to do damage control. Such attempts will only have the effect of triggering an even more rapidly growing awareness and that is exactly what is happening. The new article below from The Guardian is yet another leap forward in the battle to fully expose climate engineering to the masses.”

End-is-Near-ishClimate Fanatics Run Into Public Relations Snag – by Pater Tenebrarum, ZeroHedge.com – “Last week, we happened across a press report about a group of climate scientists so eager to shut up their critics that they want to employ the State’s police, courts and jailers for the purpose. Specifically, a group of academic (and presumably tenured) climate alarmists supporting the “CAWG” theory (CAWG=”catastrophic anthropogenic global warming”) have written a letter to president Obama, attorney-general Lynch and OSTP director Holdren, demanding that so-called “climate deniers” (or the organizations allegedly supporting them) be prosecuted under the RICO act (you can see the document here (pdf) – already its first paragraph is “alarming”, as they inter alia brag about things they have incorrectly predicted to happen for more than 35 years, such as an increase in “extreme weather”).”

In “Sweeping” Interview, Putin Calls US Syria Strategy “Illegal”, Details Russia’s Support For Assad – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Until now, the US seemed content (and again, this isn’t so much a conspiracy theory as it is a simple assessment of readily observable facts) to bide its time and wait out Assad’s army. Try as he might, there simply was no way Assad was going to be able to hold out forever as fighting a multifront war is ultimately impossible even if, as was the case with Germany during World War II, the effort is backed by a vast military industrial complex. But Russia’s arrival at Latakia changed the calculus and now, the US must decide whether to join forces with Washington’s two fiercest foreign policy critics in order to preserve the “anything is better than ISIS” narrative, or else drop that narrative and admit publicly that the fall of Assad and the resultant BOP shift takes precedence over wiping out terrorism… ‘In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,’ (Putin) said in an excerpt of an interview with U.S. television networks CBS and PBS released by the Kremlin.”

Contaminated-Organic_GrainsALERT: Certified Organic Food Grown in U.S. Found Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide – by Brian Shilhavy, GreenMedInfo.com – “Tropical Traditions decided to first test some commercial wheat products with wheat grown in Montana, North Dakota, and Canada. They sent the commercial samples to a well-known and respected laboratory to test for glyphosate… All tested positive for glyphosate residue. The range was from 0.07 mg/kg to 0.09 mg/kg. Keep in mind this is glyphosate found in non-GMO crops. For a GMO crop such as GMO soybeans, which are sprayed heavily with glyphosate, the range is typically between 3.3 and 5.7 mg/kg. (Source.).. Next, Tropical Traditions tested the USDA certified organic grains from suppliers they had been using, sourced mainly from western states such as Montana and Idaho. Sadly, the presence of glyphosate residue was found in organic wheat and other organic grains, including organic barley, oats, spelt, and einkorn. The range was from 0.03 to 0.06 mg/kg, just slightly lower than the conventional grains that were tested.”

Shaken_BabyDoctors Revisit Shaken Baby Syndrome, Rename It “Abusive Head Trauma” – by Catherine Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “What I’ve underscored above, I believe, is crucial to establishing if physical abuse, especially the shaken baby type, has occurred—something I’ve written about before. For a brain to swell, bleed on the surface and have bleeding behind the eyes in an infant, a child wouldn’t have to be shaken extremely hard or have its head banged against some hard object like a wall. Infants’ necks are notoriously ‘wobbly’ and everyone who is handed an infant to hold is cautioned about holding the neck/head correctly so it doesn’t ‘flop’ and cause damage, i.e., a possible broken neck. That, alone, in infants is basic anatomy and physiology! However, expert witness MDs who testify to SBS without physical damage evidence probably even could challenge the laws of gravity!.. Because of the medical profession’s dogmatic and skewed insistence regarding SBS diagnoses, parents and others—child caregivers, baby sitters—have been charged with, prosecuted and imprisoned for killing infants in their care while maintaining their innocence. However, one MD, who testified at an SBS trial, has come to the realization that he may have been wrong and is going about studying the mechanics of SBS to delineate and clarify it medically and probably legally… That MD is Dr Patrick Barnes, a neuroradiologist, formerly at Children’s Hospital in Boston, now at Stanford University. During the SBS trial for European nanny Louise Woodward, held in Boston, Dr Barnes was adamant about his testimony that Woodward had shaken 8-month-old Matthew Eapen. So what changed the doctor’s mind?” – Link: A Parent’s Guide: What to do if your child dies after vaccination – by Catherine Frompovich, ActivistPost.com

Informed parents, doctors and lawmakers fight mandatory HPV vaccination law in Rhode Island – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “Rhode Islanders aren’t pleased with the fact that their hired public servants are attempting to usurp their parental authority and medical autonomy. Nearly 100 people gathered at the Cumberland Public Library, north of Providence, on August 17 to protest the decision, calling on newly-appointed DOH head Nicole Alexander-Scott to take a step back and stop trying to force a dangerous and unproven vaccine on their children… ‘Mandating a vaccine that is attached to school attendance that is not a public health threat or transferable in the classroom is not okay,’ stated Aimee Gardiner, co-leader of the grassroots group Rhode Islanders Against Mandated HPV Vaccinations, in a statement to The New American. ‘It is bad public policy, and it is a bad use of power from the Rhode Island Department of Health.’ “Latakia_Airport-is-it-ModifiedThis Is The Satellite Image That Supposedly Proves The Presence Of Russian “Troops And Aircraft” In Syria – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – ” ‘The scale of the construction goes even further. A large area of ground has been cleared in many different parts of the air base. There are pallets and crates everywhere. Trucks are visible driving into the site. The image drives home the implication of all those flights and shipments heading to Syria: Russia is substantially expanding its involvement.’.. Is there “no doubt” as the author claims this is happening? We leave it to readers to decide. One thing that is certain is that earlier today it was the US which first admitted it had spec ops in Syria in what could be the most inconvenient Freudian slip in recent “proxy war” history, and then was promptly forced to retract it.”

Cop-Dog_Attack“They Fed Me to an Animal” Cops Held Two Victims at Gunpoint While Forcing K9 to “Eat Them” – by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “The other officer on the scene, Deputy Gerald “Gerry” Wengert, participated in the attack and allegedly instigated the whole thing. Interestingly enough, Wengert was accused of ordering his dog to attack a suspect in 2013 but was later acquitted of the charge… Pellegrino watched in horror as his friend was attacked by the dog… ‘I was in horror, we weren’t resisting and we weren’t doing anything so I was in shock that they would sic the dog on my friend,’ he said… ‘One said, ‘I think he’s ready to eat again,’ and someone said, ‘Oh, I think he’s still hungry,’ Pellegrino told reporters… He then explained that both officers actually held his body so the dog could get a better bite… ‘Wengert lifted my leg in front of the dog’s mouth so the dog attached to my leg. Acevedo was behind me with the dog and Wengert was to my left with the assault rifle pointing at me … I just grabbed onto the gravel and started screaming,’ he explained.”

Germany seeks ban on GMOs to protect its citizens and environment – by Daniel Barker, NaturalNews.com – “German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt has stated that he intends to make use of the EU’s “opt-out” policy to ensure that the country remains free of GMO crop cultivation in an effort to protect its citizens and environment from the consequences of the Frankenfood industry… Ministry spokesman Christian Fronczak said: ‘The German government is clear in that it seeks a nationwide cultivation ban. There’s resistance from all sides, from the public to the farmers.’.. Individual regions in the country have until September 11 to decide whether or not they want to participate in the ban. The German government will then have until October 3 to inform the EU of its decision regarding the “opt-out” rule.”

The West is trying to portray Vladimir Putin as an enemy and dictator who cracks down on domestic opposition, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview on Tuesday – from SputnikNews.com – ” ‘Ever since the coup in Ukraine President Putin has been viewed by western media as an enemy, a czar, a dictator clamping down on the opposition, someone who came to power in an undemocratic way even though he was elected as a result a popular vote recognized by the West. No longer. This is what the western propaganda campaign is all about,’ Bashar Assad added… He also said that the Western powers were working hard to bring about regime changes in Syria, Russia and other countries… ‘They do not recognize others as partners and sovereign states. All they want is to replace someone who they don’t like with one who would be serving their interests, not his own country’s,’ Assad emphasized.

Five Things the Media Won’t Report About the Refugee Crisis – 5min:28

MH17-smoking_gunMH17 — DUTCH PREPARE MISSILE ATTACK ON MOSCOW – by John Helmer, JohnHelmer.net – “…an Australian coroners’ report on the identification and forensic testing of the bodies carried out in The Netherlands reveals post-mortem evidence to show that in their public statements the Dutch government officials have been lying about metal evidence they claim to have found. This evidence has not only been buried with the passengers’ remains. It has been buried by the Dutch Government and by coroners in the UK and Australia, who are now legally required to investigate independently what caused the deaths of citizens in their jurisdiction. All are withholding the CT scans, X-rays, autopsy and other post-mortem results, including metallurgical assays, the documentation of which accompanied the coffins of the aircraft’s victims from The Netherlands to their homelands.”

BLACK BOXES, BLACK HOLES IN THE MH17 INVESTIGATION – WHY ARE THE FRENCH SO SWIFT AND REVEALING, THE DUTCH SO SLOW AND UNREVEALING? – by John Helmer, JohnHelmer.net – “…the Ukrainian ATC operator at Dniepropetrovsk, Dnipro Control, was recorded as giving a route change clearance to MH17 but receiving no reply. The Dutch say they have come across no evidence, no sound from the cockpit, no Mayday or distress signal, no noise in those one to four seconds. The FDR is also reported by the DSB as recording all flight parameters moving normally and predictably until the recording suddenly stops. That’s NOTHING… In truth, can the destruction of the airframe and the deaths of all 298 souls on board have occurred in four seconds, without a recorded sound of any kind?”

Vaccines-For_The_ChildrenComas, seizures and deaths now coming to Rhode Island middle school students as HPV vaccines are mandated by death-worshipping state legislature – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “Isn’t it reassuring to know that Ms. Tricia and her colleagues “feel” good about HPV vaccines? It’s more likely that they’re feeling good about the kickbacks they are receiving from Merck and GSK for pushing these deadly shots on innocent children. In either case, it’s feelings rather than facts that are driving this vaccine brigade… Meanwhile, reports continue to pour in about children suffering extreme side effects after receiving one or more of the three-part Gardasil vaccine series. The Toronto Star actually ran a series or stories earlier this year highlighting a number of vaccine-injury cases involving Gardasil, although the story was so truthful and jarring that the establishment forced it into retraction.”

Former Merck rep explains how mandatory vaccination is pushed for Big Pharma profit, not public health – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “After moving to Europe and having her first son, she decided to move back to the U.S. to live in San Francisco, California. She didn’t trust pharmaceutical companies, but she did take her son to a wellness visit. The doctor pushed for several vaccinations for her son, who was at the precious age of six months. The doctor grew angry with Vaughan because she asked to see the vaccine inserts. After storming out of the office, the angry doctor sent a nurse in to tell Vaughan that she and her son were not welcome back… As she started to raise awareness about the risks of vaccines, she began to realize a more sinister plot: pharmaceutical companies want to use the force of government to mandate vaccine schedules on all children. In 1952, that vaccine schedule included about seven doses. Today, the CDC’s vaccine schedule includes up to 49 doses before a child turns six years old. There are hundreds of vaccines currently being developed. It has become a game where pharmaceutical companies profit from the fears of disease instead of actually providing education to improve public health through nutrition. Profits are made by poisoning the blood of children with toxic adjuvants like aluminum… She has been repeatedly intimidated. Her house has been broken into several times since her rally against SB 277 at the California state capitol. Police told her that her home was likely “tapped” during one break-in. Her computer was tampered with in another break-in. Despite the intimidation, Vaughan continues to speak out. She founded the non-profit Council for Vaccine Safety, which strives to “increase public awareness and education on the risk of vaccines while advocating for safer vaccines.” (emph. added)

Corbyn blames BRITAIN and the US for the rise of ISIS: Labour leader rejects bombing Syria because it will spark more ‘mayhem’ – by Tom McTague, Dailymail.co.uk – “● Jeremy Corbyn said ISIS was created ‘in part’ by western interventions; ● Claimed Western arms and money was ending up with the terror group; ● Labour leader confirmed he would not support any bombing against ISIS; ● He said he would make Britain safer by ‘becoming a force for human rights’; ● Said he could protect the UK by ‘saying we understand diversity of faith’ ”

GMO crops totally banned in Russia… powerful nation blocks Monsanto’s agricultural imperialism and mass poisoning of the population – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “This puts Russia in a powerful position of producing nearly 100% non-GMO foods for both domestic consumption and export. Most consumers around the world, when given a choice, prefer to eat non-GMO foods. In the United States, the criminally-run food industry front group — the Grocery Manufacturers of America — is desperately trying to block all GMO food labeling in order to keep consumers in the dark about what they’re eating. Nearly the entire mainstream media, likewise, has also been bought off by the biotech industry and refuses to cover the truth about GMOs. (Which is why sites like GMO.news are becoming so popular among independent thinkers.

The Real Reason Why RAW Milk Is Illegal – from HealthFreedoms.org – “The CDC states, “While it is possible to get foodborne illnesses from many different foods, raw milk is one of the riskiest of all.” But is it so?.. According to the CDC, 48 million people (1 in 6 in the U.S.) get sick by contaminated food annually. In just one year, 2009-2010, there have been 1,527 outbreaks, 29,444 illnesses, 1,184 hospitalizations and 23 deaths. And the food that caused it varies from shellfish and eggs, to sprouts and vine-stalk vegetables… This year there were Salmonella outbreaks linked to cucumbers, pork, frozen chicken and frozen tuna; last year E. coli outbreaks linked to clover sprouts and ground beef; and Listeria outbreaks linked to ice cream, caramel apples, and cheese between 2014-2015… Most of these cases have one thing in common: the contaminated produce was from a large farm or company, often sourced from a different state or even country… That seems high risk. But we get a little warning sign on the package and are allowed to make our own choices. And what about milk?”

3D_Printer_for_Living_ThingsIsraeli scientists can fabricate DNA evidence – by Rasha B. Foda, ShareEverything.com – “Scientists in Israel have demonstrated that it is possible to fabricate DNA evidence, undermining the credibility of what has been considered the gold standard of proof in criminal cases… The scientists fabricated blood and saliva samples containing DNA from a person other than the donor of the blood and saliva. They also showed that if they had access to a DNA profile in a database, they could construct a sample of DNA to match that profile without obtaining any tissue from that person… ‘You can just engineer a crime scene,’ said Dan Frumkin, lead author of the paper, which has been published online by the journal Forensic Science International: Genetics. ‘Any biology undergraduate could perform this.’ ”

Yemini_Civilians_runWest’s Proxy Jihadist Terror Network Uncovered in Yemen – by Finian Cunningham, InformationClearingHouse.info – “…Yemeni sources report that alongside the fallen troops from the Gulf states are allied mercenaries belonging to Al Qaeda-linked Islamist militia. The mercenaries are believed to have been infiltrated into Yemen after receiving receiving training in set up in Saudi Arabia… Given that the United States and Britain are openly supplying the Saudi-led Gulf coalition with fighter jets, bombs and logistics, the array of forces makes for a stark conclusion: the Western states are working in Yemen in direct alliance with jihadist mercenaries. Why this alarming reality is not more readily recognised is simply because Western news media are obfuscating the situation in Yemen… Yemen can therefore be seen as illustrating the fullest expression yet of the covert relation between Washington and its Western allies and the proxy role of Islamist terror groups… In both…Libya and Syria, the Western nexus with the jihadists is vicarious and diffuse, allowing for a degree of official denial of any such collusion… However, what is emerging in Yemen is that the Western states and their Arab client regimes are openly being seen as on the side of the Al Qaeda-linked terror network.”

Genocide in Yemen – by Stephen Lendman, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Yemen is Obama’s war – cold-blooded genocidal slaughter and mass destruction, planned long before conflict began in late March, using Saudi Arabia, UAE, other Gulf states and Egypt to do his dirty work… Terror bombing residential neighborhoods, hospitals, schools and other non-military related targets continues… US-Saudi enforced blockade prevents enough food, medical supplies, fuel, clean water and other essentials from reaching desperate people in need. Human Rights Watch said what’s ongoing “may amount to starvation of civilians as a weapon of warfare” – genocide by deprivation… According to Save the Children’s Mark Kaye, “(a)t the moment we only have enough fuel in the north and center of the country for the next six weeks.” Hospitals still operating lack fuel to run to run generators “for their work.”.. UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien calls the scale of human suffering in Yemen “almost incomprehensible.”.. Over 20 million Yemenis may perish from hunger, thirst and/or lack of medical treatment for serious injuries and diseases.”

GOP candidates united in disdain for Obama, support for IsraelTrump-Bush-Not_Pointing_Fingers – In second Republican debate, Donald Trump takes on Jeb Bush over the war in Iraq, says he’ll ‘get along’ with Russia’s Putin – by Rebecca Shimoni Stoil, TimesOfIsrael.com – “Restoring US might and strengthening allies was a common theme in the closing statements. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee offered a similar endorsement in his remarks. ‘At the end of my presidency I would like to believe that the world would be a safe place, and there wouldn’t be the threats, not only to the US, but to Israel and our allies, because we would have the most incredible well-trained, well-equipped, well-prepared military in the history of mankind,’ he said. ‘And they would know that the commander-in-chief would never send them to a mission without all the resources necessary, but people wouldn’t bully us anymore because they would know that that would be an invitation to their destruction.’ ”

Better Than Chemo: Turmeric Kills Cancer Not Patients – by Sayer Ji, WakingTimes.com – “Researchers from the United Kingdom have just made a major breakthrough in cancer research by demonstrating for the first time in patient-derived colorectal cell lines that a turmeric extract (curcumin) is not only an effective adjunct agent to enhance conventional chemotherapy, but that it may be even more effective on its own… Published this month in Cancer Letters and titled, “Curcumin inhibits cancer stem cell phenotypes in ex vivo models of colorectal liver metastases, and is clinically safe and tolerable in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy,” the study evaluated the so-called “diet-derived agent” curcumin — the primary polyphenol in turmeric — as a possible adjunct to enhance conventional treatment of colorectal cancer with chemotherapy.”

Putin-Obama-at-a-distancePeace in Syria? It’s Putin’s fault – by Pepe Escobar, InformationClearingHouse.info – “All one needs to know about the intellectual caliber of the Obama administration is that it is still pondering whether to persist in “ignoring” Russian President Vladimir Putin, or invest in a real partnership to solve the Syrian geopolitical/humanitarian drama. After all, when in doubt between diplomacy or chaos, the Beltway weapon of choice still veers towards the simplistic group think uniting neocons and neoliberalcons: regime change… And then there’s the non-stop The Russians Are Coming! hysteria — the Cold War 2.0 remix, now switching from the invasion/military occupation of Ukraine to the invasion/military occupation of Syria. The White House — which, same as the Pentagon, does not do irony — actually appealed to the Kremlin to behave in a “more constructive” way side-by-side with the spectacularly inefficient coalition of the dodgy opportunists which is in thesis fighting ISIS/ISIL/Daesh… White House spokesman Josh Earnest clarified that when Obama decides that the Sisyphean task of picking up the phone and dialing K for Kremlin is actually in America’s interests, he will do it. The Shakespearean doubt may last days — even as Putin reaffirmed, via Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, he was always open to dialogue.”

Israel up in arms over the Corbyn threat – by Neve Gordon, MiddleEastEye.net – “Following Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour’s new leader, the news in Israel was bleak. ‘New Labor Leader in Britain: Anti-Zionist’ read the headline of Yisrael Hayom, the most widely read newspaper in Israel, which is owned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s longtime supporter, casino king Sheldon Adelson. The subtitle explained: ‘Bad Surprise: The newly elected head of opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, who in the past called for a dialogue with ‘friends’ from Hamas and Hezbollah, is known as a radical lefty, an admirer of Karl Marx.’.. The article goes on to claim that Corbyn has donated money to Holocaust deniers and notes with alarm that, as head of the opposition, he has the right to receive sensitive security and diplomatic updates.”

Cuban_Homeless-cigarCuba accused of rounding up thousands of homeless and JAILING them before Pope visit – CUBA has been accused of “social cleansing” before the Pope visits after police allegedly rounded up thousands of homeless people and threw them in jail – by Scott Campbell – “The Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation claims an operation is underway in Havana, Holguin and Santiago – cities the pontiff will visit between today and Tuesday… The activism group says authorities have jailed ‘thousands of beggars, panhandlers, ragamuffins, the mentally ill and other vulnerable wanderers, most of them homeless’… It also alleges that the operation was approved by Cuba’s highest authorities… A statement from the commission said: ‘This ‘social cleansing’ intends to remove them from the view of pilgrims, foreign journalists and other visitors’… The group has now publicly asked Pope Francis to intervene and seek the release of those picked up.”

For the week of 9/7/15:

obama-marines-CampPendleton-2013-captionUS Seeks Occupation as US Fighters Flood Syria – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “US corporate-funded policy think-tank, the Brookings Institution, published a June 2015 paper titled, “Deconstructing Syria: Towards a regionalized strategy for a confederal country.” The signed and dated open-conspiracy to divide, destroy, invade, then incrementally occupy Syria using no-fly-zones and both US and British special forces is now demonstrably underway… The paper would lay out in no uncertain terms that (emphasis added): ‘The idea would be to help moderate elements establish reliable safe zones within Syria once they were able. American, as well as Saudi and Turkish and British and Jordanian and other Arab forces would act in support, not only from the air but eventually on the ground via the presence of special forces as well. The approach would benefit from Syria’s open desert terrain which could allow creation of buffer zones that could be monitored for possible signs of enemy attack through a combination of technologies, patrols, and other methods that outside special forces could help Syrian local fighters set up… ‘Were Assad foolish enough to challenge these zones, even if he somehow forced the withdrawal of the outside special forces, he would be likely to lose his air power in ensuing retaliatory strikes by outside forces, depriving his military of one of its few advantages over ISIL. Thus, he would be unlikely to do this.”

When “Virtuous Debt” Turns Ferociously Vicious: The Mother Of All Corporate Margin Calls On Deck – by Bawerk.net, ZeroHedge.com – “In addition, we know that financial corporations are flush with cash, or excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve. Throughout the various quantitative easing (QE) programs conducted by the Federal Reserve, commercial banks have been force fed cash as ducks on a foie gras farm. This has swelled their excess reserves to the unprecedented, and what would be thought unimaginable only few years’ back, level of US$2.6 trillion… With all this cash the system should be, again according to the perma-bulls, more than ready to withstand the shock from the ongoing global deleveraging, a stronger dollar, emerging market blow-ups and the forthcoming US recession… We beg to differ. When it comes to excess reserves they are most likely already “spoken” as a form of collateral in shadow banking chains. While the initial effect from QE on the shadow banking system was massive deflationary shock as all the high quality securities used in re-hypothecated collateral chains were soaked up by the Federal Reserve, it is a safe bet that excess reserves has to some extent filled that void.”

TV-DominantHow TV Affects Your Brain Chemistry for the Worst – by Heather Callaghan, TruthStreamMedia.com – “Last time, I touched on stress hormones. Volumes have been researched and written about hormones – the damaging effects of chronic streaming hormone release; but very rarely does anyone think to analyze that watching television might make up a good bulk of that stress. So it would appear that chronic stress happens throughout the day while trying to work or survive, and then continues with entertainment – more like en-train-ment. Maybe television should be considered in a dietary sense – something that is ingested and can be overdone… Cortisol is necessary for good health but the amounts released in the Western world are brinking on PTSD levels and can lead to impaired brain function, damaged thyroid, obesity, blood sugar problems, chronic fatigue, immune dysfunction, impaired healing, insomnia and weakness. (source) Trauma can lead to brain fog and shrinking of the hippocampus – the brain center responsible for creating new, time-sequenced memories. Adrenal fatigue is the disorder du jour – could television play a role?”

9/11 Revisited: Declassified FBI Files Reveal New Details About ‘The Five Israelis’ – by Greg Fernandez Jr., 21stCenturyWire.com – ” ‘On May 29th, 2015, John Massaria filed a FOIA request in attempt to retrieve the data stored on the 16 computers seized by the FBI from the ‘Urban Moving Systems’ warehouse in New Jersey.’.. John Massaria asked for the data on the hardrives but instead, was given the following FBI Report –doc-1 (141 pages), Police Report (4 pages), and FOIA-2 – FOIA-6. Special thanks to Ken Doc for making me aware of these files. Within three days of filing the FOIA request for the data on the Urban Moving Systems’ hardrives, John Massaria was given the declassified files.”

Police_Marksman-FergusonFerguson and the Second Amendment – by Shahid Buttar, Truth-Out.org – “The discrimination pervading the Second Amendment’s recognition, and how militarized police threaten its promise, appear evident in Ferguson, where a politically and demographically diverse coalition is emerging to defend it… Sidestepping partisan battle-lines in an ideological debate, this analysis exposes how liberals and libertarians alike can find common ground on Second Amendment principles. It also exposes constitutional arguments supporting the Black Lives Matter movement that few observers have recognized. All US citizens share an interest in restoring the Second Amendment’s limits on the militarization of the police.”

Mind Control Programs Exposed – Your Thoughts Are Not Your Own (w/Videos)– by Vic Bishop, WakingTimes.com – “The supposed goals of these research initiatives are to understand the cause of and to improve treatment of brain disorders, to create neuromatic and neurorobotic technologies that advance developments in Artificial Intelligence and supercomputers, and also to uncover the patterns of neural activity that produce human cognition, decision making and actions. In 2014, over $300 million in public and private funding was made in support of the US BRAIN initiative, and EUR 8.3 million was invested in the European Union’s Human Brain Project… Simultaneously, technologies are being developed to create a new brain-computer interface, which will be able to manipulate the brain using “neural dust,” light beamed from outside the skull, and by implanting memories by altering neuron DNAThe human mind is an electrical device. If they reverse engineer the brain to figure out how to invade and program the electrical mind, it can be taken over and anyone can theoretically be controlled remotely, and the affected persons would have little to no clue what was going on… In the interviews below, Neil Sanders, author of Your Thoughts are Not Your Own, and Steven Jacobson, author of Mind Control in the U.S., expose evidence of officially sanctioned mind control programs and the effects of media programming on human behavior.”

Bryce_Williams-threatensIs The Virginia Shooting Hoax Blowing Up in the MSM’s Face? – by Joe Wright, ActivistPost.com – “Actually, this is an even bigger warning to the billionaire “philanthropists” who back aggressive gun control initiatives and are likely backing these staged “events.” You’ve hired horrible actors. You’re going to get busted unless you back off. But, alas, we know your allegiance to the UN Small Arms Treaty requires you to push forward despite a growing number who know your game… The latest reporter shooting hoax in Virginia is getting so easily torn apart by the conspiracy research community that the media’s emotional staging of actors is becoming absurd…The latest discovery is that Alison Parker’s alleged fiancé Chris Hurst, who has only eight social media photos of him with Alison, is probably just her “TV” boyfriend. A guy named Daniel Wulz has been outed by facial recognition as her real-world boyfriend.”

19 Intriguing Coincidences Surrounding the Virginia Shooting – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “…without getting too deep into what I believe could likely be another staged shooting event to advance the federal government’s gun control agenda, let’s just zip through a list of oddities that every single person must reconcile surrounding the recent Virginia TV reporter shooting of Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward by alleged shooter Vester Lee Flanagan. Here are 19 oddities to fill your brain with. Perhaps you can explain away some of these. If you can, more power to you but good luck tackling the entire list. Ultimately, it’s not about one person being right or wrong but about lining yourself up with truth. Keep in mind that all of these things are happening at once and you have to let your natural instincts, intuition and common sense kick in and take this information in and then file it under one of two categories: orchestrated event or coincidence … or perhaps I don’t know. You decide…”

Two Views of the “Virginia Shooting” with Anomalies to Boggle the Mind:

https://youtu.be/7hyvymXFvW0

DAILY SHOOTER: Made-For-TV – Virginia News Crew Gunned Down Live On Air – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “This latest ‘Truman Show’ shooting takes this all-American genre to a whole new level. According to reports, the shooter posted his own video of the shooting on social media – on his Facebook account and on Twitter. Watch his video, shot low-res on either an iPhone or Galaxy phone (vertical rectangular format) and not on an HD GoPro as CNN and others wrongly claimed today… As it’s still an open investigation, it should be fair to ask the following: did the alleged shooter really shoot this video, or was it someone else? Have any witnesses actually ID’d Flanagan at the scene of this alleged double homicide? Clearly, the media have already decided that it was Vester Flanagan. See the shooter’s own video here…”

Bernie-Mr_ProgressiveSaint Bernie: US presidential candidate: I would continue assassination drone programfrom PressTV.ir – ” ‘I think we have to use drones very, very selectively and effectively. That has not always been the case,’ Sanders said… ‘What you can argue is that there are times and places where drone attacks have been effective,’ he added… Former US drone operator Brandon Bryant, who was involved in the killing of more than 1600 people, revealed earlier this year that aerial strikes are conducted with complete uncertainty… Bryant, who worked for almost five years in America’s secret drone program bombing targets in Afghanistan and other countries, such as Pakistan and Iraq, said operators lacked visibility and were not sure about the identity of the people they were shooting at… ‘We see silhouette, shadows of people, and we kill those shadows,’ he said.”

U.S. Police Routinely Travel to Israel to Learn Methods of Brutality and Repression – by Justin Gardner, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “At least 300 high-ranking U.S. sheriffs and police from all over the country, as well as FBI and US Customs and Border Protection agents, have traveled to Israel to learn first-hand the most efficient means of subduing populations. The purported reason is counterterrorism, but protests and crowd control methods are commonly discussed… Police are not learning from the Israeli criminal law sector that deals with Jewish residents. U.S. police are learning from Israel’s military justice system, which controls Palestinians through paramilitary and counterinsurgency tactics. Residents of Gaza and the West Bank live in what is essentially a giant prison camp, where oppression and brutality from the IDF is a way of life. The use of excessive or deadly force for crowd control is rarely questioned… Three organizations are responsible for sending U.S. cops to Israel for training—the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Jewish Committee’s Project Interchange and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. The ADL insulted victims of police brutality last month when it honored the St. Louis Police Department (SLPD) just days ahead of the anniversary of Michael Brown’s killing. The SLPD was the first department to enroll in ADL’s training program.

Facebook has secretly been spying on your medical internet searches – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “In their study the authors found that 91 percent of Internet pages containing health-related information relay the URL to third parties, “often unbeknownst to the user,” and in 70 percent of cases, the URL “contains sensitive information such as ‘HIV’ or ‘cancer’ which is sufficient to tip off these third parties that you have been searching for information related to a specific disease.” That, according to Tim Libert, of the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, author of the study, which shows how dismissive Internet surfers tend to be when it comes to their health privacy online… As reported by Blacklisted News, citing the study: ‘It doesn’t matter whether you search for health-related topics using Google or supposed privacy-focused search engines like DuckDuckGo, Facebook is still likely to find out about it. That’s because websites like the CDC’s HIV information page contains “share” and “like” buttons for Facebook, and that’s all it takes to let the social media site know that you’ve visited the page, even if you never click either of those buttons. Sites like WebMD share information with as many as 34 different domains.’ ”

Who Would Really Want to Live in the Eugenics Record Office? – by Aaron and Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “And apparently it’s for sale (not that the realtor mentioned anything in her glowing description of the property that it was built by Mrs. E. H. Harriman, a prominent eugenicist and mother of Skull and Bones alumni diplomat Averill Harriman, specifically to house the Eugenics Record Office either). In fact, there’s only one article that shows the modern day house and links it to eugenics, but it’s a completely misleading fluff piece titled, ‘Rich Cribs: Cold Spring Laboratory was to fill this home with eugenics records.’.. No, it’s wasn’t going to be filled with those records. It was filled with them… Nowhere in the ads for the house or that article is it mentioned that this place is directly responsible in large part for the passage of eugenics laws across America that resulted in the forced sterilization of tens of thousands of people… a heinous act based on racism and elitism passing itself off as “science.”.. But really…who would actually want to live in the former Eugenics Record Office? The whole place seemed haunted by its negative, ugly past. In the brief moments we were there, the feeling was palpable.”

Bryce_Williams-carPolice Order BBC Journalists to Delete Footage of Virginia Shooter’s Car Crash – by Carey Wedler, ActivistPost.com – “A Virginia State Police officer reportedly censored two BBC journalists following Wednesday’s tragic shooting that took the lives of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. After Vester Lee Flanagan (AKA Bryce Williams) opened fire at a local shopping center, killing the 24-year-old local reporter and the 27-year-old cameraman, he led police on a pursuit before he ran his vehicle off the highway and crashed. Police found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Flanagan was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died… BBC journalists Franz Strasser and Tara McKelvey were reporting from the scene of the crash when one of the officers approached the pair and ordered them to delete their footage. “Just at the scene of the suspects [sic] shooting on I-66. Police told me to delete footage or lose camera,” Strasser tweeted. “Reason for confiscating camera was that it was evidence. Threatened to tow the car because it was illegally parked,” he said in a follow-up tweet about an hour later.

A wig, license plates, six Glock magazines and a ‘to do’ list: The ‘getaway kit’ found in Vester Flanagan’s crashed rental car after he (allegedly) committed suicide – from AP via Dailymail.co.uk – “Flanagan also had a Glock pistol and holster with him, believed to be the weapon he used during the killings, as well as several clips of ammunition… Police documents reveal that officers found a ‘briefcase w/3 license plates, wig, shawl, umbrella, sunglasses,’ as well as a black hat… The (alleged) collection of items suggests that Flanagan was intending to disguise himself and live in hiding after killing his former colleagues, while the extra bullets suggest he was planning other attacks.”

Are Russians Sending Military Support To Syria? Potential For Conflict With NATO? – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “Still, an actual Russian force – complete with equipment and personnel – would be a major development in the fight against ISIS. The technical knowledge, the military capability, and the political support would provide Assad with an invaluable resource in locating and eliminating the terrorists… In addition, the presence of Russian military personnel on the ground in Syria and Russian aircraft in Syria’s skies might also serve to provide both a warning and a reason to exercise more caution on the part of the NATO “coalition” and the United States that are currently bombing Syria… YNet reports that the Obama administration is fully aware of the Russian plans but that it has yet to announce its reaction to those plans… While a Russian military presence in the Syrian capital will undoubtedly provide an important boost to the Syrian military’s battle against ISIS and other Western-backed terrorists, it will also provide the world with the potential for direct military confrontation between the two major world powers, both of them armed with nuclear weapons.”

Lies You Will Hear As The Economic Collapse Progresses – by Brandon Smith, ActivistPost.com – “It is undeniable; the final collapse triggers are upon us, triggers alternative economists have been warning about since the initial implosion of 2008. In the years since the derivatives disaster, there has been no end to the absurd and ludicrous propaganda coming out of mainstream financial outlets and as the situation in markets becomes worse, the propaganda will only increase. This might seem counter-intuitive to many. You would think that the more obvious the economic collapse becomes, the more alternative analysts will be vindicated and the more awake and aware the average person will be. Not necessarily… In fact, the mainstream spin machine is going into high speed the more negative data is exposed and absorbed into the markets. If you know your history, then you know that this is a common tactic by the establishment elite to string the public along with false hopes so that they do not prepare or take alternative measures while the system crumbles around their ears. At the onset of the Great Depression the same strategies were used. Consider if you’ve heard similar quotes to these in the mainstream news over the past couple months: John Maynard Keynes in 1927: “We will not have any more crashes in our time.(emph. added)

Fox_Lake_illinois-Circus‘G.I. Joe’ Shooting: Massive Multi-Agency, Martial Law Drill Underway in Fox Lake, Illinois – by 21stCenturyWire.com – “Within 90 minutes, a large perimeter “envelope” was set up and Martial Law was essentially put into place throughout Fox Lake. Local schools were put on “lock-down” and all 10,000 residents of Fox Lake were quickly ordered to “Shelter In Place” by the authorities – for the entire day. Teams of heavily armed police with semi-automatic assault rifles, dressed in body armor and full tactical gear then began conducting house-to-house searches claiming they were looking for the three suspects… Police made sure a select few of these house searches were filmed from designated helicopters overhead, and while watching the coverage of the house searches, it was obvious that police house raid were being choreographed for the TV – so police on the ground were being directed in accordance to where the overhead film crews were positioned – to capture the best possible shots of their militarized operation. As expected, CNN continually praised the police, remarking how ‘dangerous’ the situation was and about, ‘The potential for them [suspects] going into a family house and taking hostages.’ ”

Lawsuit Accuses Federal Government of Withholding Info on GMO Crops for 10 Years – by Derrick Broze, ActivistPost.com – “The CFS accuses APHIS of failing to respond within a timely manner to at least 29 of their FOIA requests or appeals. The lawsuit is the center’s latest attempt to force APHIS to respond to FOIA requests and to order the agency to ‘stop its practice of failing to respond to FOIA requests related to GE crops.’.. Cristina Stella, staff attorney for the Center for Food Safety, says that APHIS has a history of inadequate regulation of GMO crops. “In the absence of thorough government oversight, public access to information about these crops becomes all the more critical,” Stella said. ‘This lawsuit is necessary to stop APHIS from continuing to ignore its duty to provide the public with information that affects farmers, communities, and the environment.’.. Stella also says that the longer APHIS fails to regulate the GMO crops, the more the environment will face damage, including transgenic contamination of nearby crops, pesticide drift, and endangerment of protected species.”

More Race War Psyops: #BlackLivesMatter Activist Arrested for Tweeting “Kill All the White People” – by Melissa Dykes, TheDailySheeple.com – “But let’s take a step back for a moment and look at this thing… The Tweet, you will notice was just sent September 2nd at 4:45 pm… According to the police document below, authorities were alerted about the Twitter threat at 4:43 pmIf time stamps told it all at face value, it would appear as if the threat was called in two minutes before the Tweet was actually sent… Even with a few hours difference for server issues that some people claim can periodically happen on Twitter which mess with the timestamp (and somehow always seem to only affect controversial Tweets), still. That was awfully quick… Regardless of what happened there, it’s interesting how a Tweet with only two retweets and two favorites after an hour of being posted (which could likely be by the same two accounts that retweeted it) became such a huge deal so fast that a multi-agency manhunt went down over the “threat,” the guy was apparently caught on the same day, and the story has since blown up all over the media.”

The Vaccine Hoax is Over. Documents from UK reveal 30 Years of Coverup – by Andrew Baker, NSNBC.me – “The CDC is obviously acting against the health of the American people. But the threat to the lives of the American people posed by the CDC’s behavior does not stop there. It participated in designed pandemic laws that are on the books in every state in the US, which arrange for the government to use military to force unknown, untested vaccines, drugs, chemicals, and “medical” treatments on the entire country if it declares a pandemic emergency… Not to put to fine a point on this, but it’s clear now that the CDC should not be involved in any way with public health… Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we know that vaccines are not a miracle of modern medicine. Any medical or government authority which insists vaccines prevent diseases is either ignorant of government documents (and endless studies) revealing the exact opposite or of the CDC’s attempts to hide the truth about vaccines from the public, or means harm to the public… Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we know the vaccine schedule is a hoax.”

mike_Adams3The United Nations 2030 Agenda decoded: It’s a blueprint for the global enslavement of humanity under the boot of corporate masters – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “In the interests of helping wake up humanity, I’ve decided to translate the 17 points of this 2030 agenda so that readers everywhere can understand what this document is really calling for. To perform this translation, you have to understand how globalists disguise their monopolistic agendas in “feel good” language… Here’s the point-by-point translation. Notice carefully that nowhere does this document state that “achieving human freedom” is one of its goals. Nor does it explain HOW these goals are to be achieved. As you’ll see here, every single point in this UN agenda is to be achieved through centralized government control and totalitarian mandates that resemble communism.”

Could US state sanctions on Iran unravel nuke deal? – US critics of the nuclear agreement with Iran are turning to the 50 states as it becomes increasingly obvious that Congress won’t be able to kill the deal – by Julian Pecquet, Al-Monitor.com – “Pruitt and Schuette argue that states have a free hand to act as they see fit because the Obama administration did not craft the deal as a treaty subject to congressional ratification that would make it the “supreme law of the land.” Others question that assertion, pointing in particular to a 2000 Supreme Court case that threw out Massachusetts sanctions on Burma because they infringed on the federal power to conduct foreign affairs… Under the deal “’You’re running into a situation in which there can be foreign investment in Iran’s energy sector or a host of other things, so you’re going to have a situation in which the states are actually doing more than the federal law is,’ said Tyler Cullis, a sanctions expert with the pro-deal National Iranian American Council. ‘And to the extent that there is a conflict between those two, there is a presumption that federal law rules the day.’.. There’s little doubt, however, that the states can pass sanctions under a 2010 law — the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act — because Congress, perhaps anticipating a controversial deal, explicitly carved out a role for the states. The law calls upon the federal government to ‘support the decision of any state or local government that for moral, prudential, or reputational reasons’ divests from Iran.”

Statistician Finds Proof That Our Elections Are a Sham – by Joshua Krause, ActivistPost.com – “Beth Clarkson, chief statistician for Wichita State’s National Institute for Aviation Research, said last week that she noticed results for the last several elections in the state failed to add up. ‘If we’re not being counted accurately, we’re losing our right to vote without even being aware of it…’ Clarkson has sued the state of Kansas for the power to examine the voter tapes, which record every stroke a voter casts on the machines… ‘I don’t understand why those patterns are there, the patterns are very definitely real. But we don’t know what’s causing them or why they’re there. They do fit what would be expected if election fraud is occurring, and that’s very concerning.’.. Well isn’t that a big surprise? What’s also not surprising is how the authorities in Kansas are reacting to her claims. After Clarkson sued the state of Kansas to view the tapes, State Secretary Kris Kobach asked the judge to block her case. I guess there’s nothing to see here folks.”

Are_You_A_CitizenVIDEO: Entire Family Arrested, Child Taken by CPS, for Refusing Unlawful Search at Checkpoint – by Matt Agorist, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “As the Feinman’s drove through, they refused to be unlawfully searched, citing their 4th Amendment right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures… The agents, however, could have cared less about the Feinman’s rights, stating at one point that ‘this is my job.’.. When the family refuses to back down, government force is escalated, and police officers are called in to violate the Feinmans even further… As Mr. Feinman asserts his rights, he is threatened with being pulled out of the vehicle and having his children taken from him by CPS… Mr. Feinman says he’d like to go, but these officers are determined to extort money from him (issue a citation) for flexing his rights. When he asks the cops if they swore an oath to defend the constitution, the cop asks, ‘So you’re a Constitutionalist?’.. When Feinman confirms that he is a constitutionalist, the officer responds, ‘We’ve had problems with this before.’..” (emph. added)

Family Near Area 51 Fights Back After Government Tries To Confiscate Property – by Carey Wedler, ActivistPost.com – “According to the Sheahans, the military harassed them in other ways, as well. “They have driven away prospective business partners and told them, ‘If you buy the place or try to operate, we are going to condemn it, and you’re going lose your money,” Dan Sheahan claims… In recent decades, the government cordoned off large portions of the area, manning them with armed guards. “They held people at gunpoint. They withdrew 89,000 acres of land, surrounded our property and made us an island,” Joe Sheahan said. Sheahan-Manning stated that she has been illegally searched and that for years, the government has forced members of the family to go through checkpoints to access their own property. “It seems like machine guns solve anything on the property out there. That’s not the American way,” Dan Sheahan said… ‘We want ‘em to know what they have done over the last 60 years to our family is not acceptable,’ he also commented, saying they did not want to go public but felt they had no other choice.”

Cotton-n-BibiUS Senator Backs B-1 Bombers for Israel – by Barbara Opall-Rome, DefenseNews.com – “Beyond deeper strategic cooperation and intelligence coordination, Cotton said he supports a significant hike in annual Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grant aid to Israel above the $3.1 billion levels set to expire in fiscal 2018… ‘Of course, it depends in large part on strategic assessments, but I’d be open’ to levels as high as $5 billion, he said… According to Cotton, FMF to Israel, the Egyptian government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan promote stability and order in a terror-wracked region… ‘In my view, an increase [to Israel] would be eminently reasonable, despite the budget constraints we face in Washington. Our FMF program has not done anything to increase our budget deficit…’ ” – Note: The U.S. has NEVER sold or given its bombers to any other nation. The B-1 runs about a cool $300 million a copy.

The Polio VACCINE is Causing the New Polio – by Aaron Dykes, TruthStreamMedia.com – ” ‘While polio has statistically disappeared from India, there has been a huge spike in cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP)– the very types of crippling problems it was hoped would disappear with polio but which have instead flourished from a new cause… ‘There were 47,500 cases of non-polio paralysis reported in 2011, the same year India was declared “polio-free,” according to Dr. Vashisht and Dr. Puliyel. Further, the available data shows that the incidents tracked back to areas were doses of the polio vaccine were frequently administered.’.. Related studies in India have already demonstrated that polio vaccines are the leading cause of polio paralysis.’.. That’s more than 47,000 children crippled and permanently disabled by the vaccine – not the disease!… However, this problem was largely ignored while vaccine pushers – literally in overkill mode – were praised for nearly ‘eradicating’ polio… Now, this problem is cropping up in many other countries, too.”

DriveSmart-NYNew York Introduces “Drive Smart” Car Tracking Technology – by Joshua Krause, ActivistPost.com – “Like any surveillance program, the proponents of Drive Smart are trying to regale the citizens of New York with the benefits of this technology. Safe drivers can send the data to their insurance company and have their rates cut, and the device will help you find less congested routes. However, there’s no reason to think that this technology couldn’t be easily hacked, or that the authorities could use the information against you… City officials have assured the public that the information is anonymous, and would be deleted from their database every 48 hours, but I think we know better. Our government has shown us time and time again that they don’t care about our rights, and they cannot be trusted with our private information… They also make no mention of how long this technology will remain voluntary. Surveillance is a slippery slope, and it will only be a matter of time before they force every driver to install Drive Smart in their vehicle. All in the name of safety and efficiency of course.”

US presence in Ukraine against Minsk deal: Russia – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘US soldiers are firmly entrenched in Ukraine, which constitutes a flagrant violation of Article 10 of the February 12 Minsk Agreement,’ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing in the Russian capital, Moscow, on Thursday… Article 10 of the agreement stipulates the pullout of all foreign-armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries from Ukraine… In April, about 300 US troops from the US 173rd Airborne Brigade for Operation Fearless Guardian arrived in Ukraine’s western city of Yavoriv to train members of the Ukrainian National Guard in their fight against pro-Russia forces in Ukraine’s eastern provinces… The US move came despite the truce deal…”

Uighurs_DemonstrateGlobal Gladio: NATO Terror Network Reaches into Asia – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “(U.S. funded World Uyghur Congress) admits that violence broke out among the mobs it was leading in Ankara but denied any affiliations with the protesters in Istanbul who attacked the consulate and destroyed it on the same day, in the same country, over the same alleged grievances. WUC itself suggested it was the work of the “Grey Wolves,” an organization they admit was ‘clandestinely funded by the US government.’.. The Grey Wolves are comprised of Turks and Uyghurs, and throughout the Cold War served as part of NATO’s “stay behind networks” referred to as Gladios. They were used to purge NATO’s enemies from Turkey in bloody violence that would leave over 6,000 dead. Since the Cold War, the Grey Wolves have set up operations internationally, including terrorist training camps in Xinjiang, China – all indicating that NATO’s Gladio has gone global… For the rest of the world – NATO’s “Gladio” networks are vast and varied. From Ukraine to Syria to Thailand, the most violent and criminal elements in any given society have been organized by the West in a bid to divide, destroy, and dominate the planet. From the original Gladio program in Western Europe, the means of expertly manipulating these criminal gangs has been perfected. Increasing awareness of how Gladio works will not only better arm society to take action against it, but perhaps even dissuade eager criminal elements from joining organizations that are essentially cannon fodder for NATO.”

From the Isn’t-September-Bizarre-Enough-Already? Desk – Alert: Air traffic collision warning systems, locators, down off East Coast and 5 states until Oct. 1 – DoD gives last-minute notice to FAA before going dark – by Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub.com – “A traffic collision avoidance system or traffic alert and collision avoidance system […] is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (source: Wikipedia) – This is immensely concerning not only for the safety of passengers and staff aboard flights navigating the affected areas but for the security of our country as well. In fact the last time we saw similar systems go down was during the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon, Sept. 11, 2001.” (emph. added)

Color Revolution 2.0 in Lebanon: From Piles of Trash to Piles of Rubble – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Just recently in Armenia, the US conducted what appeared to be a test run of its new and improved “color revolution” system of regime change… The trick was to first use rising electrical costs as a pretext to stage the protests, then quickly swing them around to demand a change in government. Likely, provocations and violence were planned for later stages, as well as opportunities for America’s client opposition parties to take over and swell the ranks of street mobs with their supporters… In Armenia, America’s next generation of color revolutions failed… In Beirut, however, it seems that the protests have made it at least to the point where the alleged pretext – piles of garbage – have now been replaced with demands for regime change… Despite the 2005 so-called “Cedar Revolution” being exposed as entirely US-engineered, paving the way for the expulsion of Syrian troops from Lebanon and an Israeli attack on the country the following year, many even in the alternative press have been taken in by what should be an obvious, albeit more carefully concealed, follow-up to 2005’s events.”

ETsEarth as an Alien Enterprise – by V. Susan Ferguson, WakingTimes.com – “The people who have access to secret technology are way ahead of the rest of us. They are the ‘Breakaway Civilization,’ and ‘secret algorithms — obscured by a triple layer of technical complexity, secrecy, and ‘economic espionage’ laws that can land would-be whistle-blowers in prison still prevent us from understanding.’ [Pasquale]… We have little to no comprehension of the veiled, secretive world we are now forced to inhabit. The people with ‘access’ are the owners, controllers and financiers behind these technologies that emerged out of the ET ‘deal,’ and they have become obsessed with their own power. Pasquale reports CEO Eric Schmidt of Google saying he wants Google users the be able to ask it, ‘What shall I do tomorrow?,’ and ‘What job shall I take?’ This is beyond creepy and moving into the domain of a totalitarian invasion of the human heart and psyche.

Web of Secrecy Surrounds Federal Half-a-Billion Handout to Charter Schools – by Jonas Persson, Truth-Out.org – “Throwing good money after bad, Education Secretary Arne Duncan called for a 48 percent increase in federal charter funding earlier this year, and the House and Senate budget proposals also call for an increase – albeit a more modest one – while at the same time slashing education programs for immigrants and language learners… The clamor for charter expansion comes despite the fact that there are federal probes underway into suspected waste and mismanagement within the program, not to mention ongoing and recently completed state audits of fraud perpetrated by charter school operators… Earlier this year, the Center for Popular Democracy documented more than $200 million in fraud, waste, and mismanagement in the charter school industry in 15 states alone, a number that is likely to be just the tip of the iceberg.”

Capn_Jimmy_Wales10 shocking facts you never knew about Wikipedia and Jimmy Wales – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “Now that the truth about Wikipedia being a blackmail extortion racket has emerged, people are starting to connect the dots on the criminality and corruption that dominates the discredited disinfo site… Not only was Wikipedia’s founder Jimmy Wales a “porn king” who sold online pornography before launching Wikipedia, we also know that wikipedia deliberately censors large categories of truthful information on natural healing, the dangers of vaccines, the crimes of Hillary Clinton, the corruption and criminality of the biotech industry and much more.

The CITT: A Seat at the Table of Destruction – by Montana Land and Water Alliance, WesternMtnWaterRights.wordpress.com – “After transferring the bare legal title of irrigation project water to the CSKT, the Compact converts nearly 80% of agricultural water use to instream flow and minimum reservoir levels, drastically reducing on farm delivery of water through a process called “adaptive management”. The CITT is the entity created by the Compact that implements “adaptive management” in the federal FIP… (Note: this “conversion of agricultural water use to instream flow” is a property taking and is why the state gave itself immunity from damages, costs, and attorneys fees.)”

Garden_of_Eden-farmPolice raid organic farm hoping to find marijuana plants and instead seize organic fruit and vegetable plants! – by Lynn Griffith, news.TheRawFoodWorld.com – “A stiff penalty was exactly what Arlington, Texas police department was hoping to hand out to a small organic farm called Garden of Eden. This farm was the target of a massive police raid that included aerial surveillance… The police had a search warrant for marijuana plants…which they failed to find on the farm. However, after a 10 hour search, they did seize 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers!.. The owners of the farm believe that the police action had more to do with code violations than marijuana concerns. In weeks leading up to the raid, the farm had been cited for violations including: grass being too tall, bushes too close to the street, a couch and piano in the yard, improperly stacked chopped wood, one piece of missing siding from the home, and an unclean premises.” (emph. added)Gotta wonder what their jurisdiction was for taking their produce…

For the week of 8/24/15:

West_Coast-Algae_BloomToxic algae bloom is ‘eating the West Coast’ as sea animals continue to die off amid Fukushima radiation plume – by David Gutierrez, Natural News.com – “According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the bloom is “laced with some toxic [phytoplankton] species that have had far-reaching consequences for sea life and regional and local economies.” These species, known as Pseudo-nitzschia, produce a highly toxic chemical known as domoic acid… Toxic algae blooms of this variety, also known as red tides, are well known and relatively common. This particular red tide is not only enormous, but it has also been exceptionally long lasting and still shows no signs of dispersing… ‘It’s the longest lasting, highest toxicity and densest bloom that we’ve ever seen,’ said Vera Trainer, research oceanographer with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Washington state.”

Microscopic 3D-Printed “Smart” Fish Nanobots to Swim in Bloodstream & Remove Toxins – by Jay Syrmopoulos, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – ” ‘We have developed an entirely new method to engineer nature-inspired microscopic swimmers that have complex geometric structures and are smaller than the width of a human hair. With this method, we can easily integrate different functions inside these tiny robotic swimmers for a broad spectrum of applications,’ said the co-first author Wei Zhu, a nanoengineering Ph.D. student at UC San Diego… When the microfish are placed in a toxin-rich environment, they become fluorescent red and begin to glow intensely as their toxin-neutralizing nanoparticles chemically bind with the molecules of toxins… ‘Another exciting possibility we could explore is to encapsulate medicines inside the microfish and use them for directed drug delivery,’ Jinxing Li, the other co-first author of the study, said in a statement… Researchers believe that the realization of the microfish, as proof of concept, will usher in an entire new generation in “smart” nanobots.” – If you think that the purpose of these self-propelled nano-bots for your bloodstream is to bring you vibrant health, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can let you have for cheap.

Hungary-RefugeesHungary completes anti-refugee barrier along southern border – from PressTV.ir – “However, the barrier, consisting of three rolls of razor wire, has reportedly failed to stop thousands of refugees slipping into the country… A four-meter (13-foot)-high wall, currently under construction, is due to follow the fence and will ‘also provide a defense against illegal border-crossers,’ according to the statement… Some 1,000 Hungarian border guards currently control the 175-kilometer (108-mile) frontier, and 2,000 more are slated to join them from September 1, the government says… Official data show over 140,000 refugees, most of them fleeing conflicts in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, have entered Hungary from Serbia this year hoping to continue their journey to reach western European countries.”

Obama’s Ukrainian Forces Break Minsk Agreement: Resume Invasion – by Eric Zuesse, GlobalResearch.ca – “DPR Deputy Commander Basurin said that ‘According to our estimate, the enemy is trying to provoke a response by our troops and with such activity convince the army command of the DPR to prepare for an offensive in this direction of the UAF,’ so that DPR’s strategy of — as much as possible — not initiating fire, but only responding to it, will be broken. That would then provide the U.S. side the opportunity to charge the DPR side with violating Minsk II… Basurin went on to say: ‘…the criminal fascist regime is purposefully trying to disrupt the Minsk Agreement. The bloodthirsty Kiev puppets are out to disrupt the establishment of peaceful life in the Republic, thereby showing the whole world their inability to conduct civilized negotiations. The paranoiacs in power are leading Ukraine into the abyss.”

Dees-Greenspan-Disappearing_DollarNever Forget: The Central Banks Have Engineered This Collapse – by James Corbett, CorbettReport.com – “OK, enough sarcasm. Readers of this column will know by now that the phoney baloney stock markets, manipulated as they are from top to bottom and juiced as they are on the Fed’s QE heroin, are no longer reflective of economic reality. The only question is how far this particular dead cat market will bounce, and whether it will be helped along with more heroin from the Fed… But there is already one vitally important take away from these events that the independent media must articulate now, before it’s too late. Namely: This crisis was engineered by the central banks. It is their fault… Let me repeat that again in case you missed it: This crisis was engineered by the central banks… This point is not even controversial. It has been the universal consensus of institutions ranging from the Bank for International Settlements to the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, and from OECD officials to former Fed Governors and even Alan “Bubbles” Greenspan himself.”

Robots will cut 25% of US jobs in 4 years, transform workforce – report – from RT.com – “The prediction comes in a report titled ‘The Future of Jobs, 2025: Working Side-By-Side with Robots,’ published by Forrester Research this week. The study’s findings were drawn from government employment data, and interviews with businesses and academics… Automation in daily life is already prevalent and expanding beyond the grocery store scanner. Robots are now delivering room service to guests in the Aloft hotel in San Francisco, and self-service kiosks filling orders at delis rather than humans… Lowe’s hardware is testing Oshbot, a robotic sales assistant that can answer questions, and show customers a floorplan of the store or lead them directly to products they seek. It was recently featured in an RT segment… However, the study argued that the decline in service jobs caused by increasing automation would be offset by the creation of new ones, reducing net jobs losses to only 9.1 million, or 7 percent… ‘Physical robots require repair and maintenance professionals – one of several job categories that will grow up around a more automated world,’ wrote J P Gownder, the lead author in Forbes.”

Van-Iran_Is_GreatUK police: No apology needed to owners of ‘Iran Is Great’ van after attack – from PressTV.ir – “‘It would be unreasonable to expect this service to pay compensation when police were merely carrying out the duty the public rightly expect of them especially given the heightened counter-terrorism threat level,’ the letter said, adding, ‘Where police force entry lawfully as was the position here, and in doing so cause damage, there is no legal liability to compensate in respect of damage necessarily caused.’.. The Ivans are also known for their promotion of Iran, a country they fell in love with after a visit last year, which prompted them to put “Iran Is Great” artworks on both sides of their vehicle… A policewoman had told the Ivans later that the writing on the van prompted police action… ‘That’s the justification. It doesn’t say ‘Spain is Great’, ‘Italy is Great’, whatever,’ the policewoman said.”

Has the California water crisis been manufactured like the Enron-engineered electricity crisis?Fracking And Water Companies Win Big
During Historic California DroughtJerry Brown’s water crisis management looking more like Gray Davis’ energy debacle – from StateOfTheNation.com – “The following essay presents a very cogent case as to why the drought was purposefully fabricated utilizing chemical geoengineering. Both the lack of an appropriate response by Governor Brown, as well as a completely neglectful Obama Administration, point to a state and federal conspiracy, respectively, of deliberate inaction. Such purposeful negligence, as in the case of Gray Davis, can only be understood by knowing who really gains from this unfolding disaster: Governor Jerry Brown BETRAYS California Residents, Ignores Geoengineering Causes Of Historic California Drought… Many Californians now wonder whether Gov. Brown has a similar relationship with the fracking industry and multinational water corporations. The fracking companies have been allowed to utilize massive quantities of water necessary for their hydro-fracking operations. Likewise, the large transnational water bottlers such as those shown above have been given carte blanche to extract as much water as they can sell… There is now enough evidence — scientific, anecdotal and circumstantial — stacking up in the public domain which clearly indicates that the California drought was methodically geoengineered over the past 4 to 5 years.[4] The very day that Jerry Brown took office on January 3, 2011, the drought began in earnest. Could it be a coincidence, or was it a sign that the time was right for the geoengineers to implement their climate modification agenda?”

Jim_SinclairPlunge Protection Team Losing Control of Markets-Jim Sinclair – by Greg Hunter, USAWatchdog.com – “The US Plunge Protection Team is losing control of the markets, and Sinclair warns, ‘They got the dickens scared out of them. They actually backed off providing the funds necessary. . . . That’s your warning. The warning is markets can overrun plunge protection teams. Markets can and will overrun the manipulation of metals and currencies. The market will overrun the false strength in the US dollar. The idea that a lift in interest rates would be beneficial to the dollar is absolutely incorrect. We do know the limits of the Plunge Protection Team, and we do know the omnipotent power of the Fed is a total fallacy.’.. On gold, Sinclair says, ‘I didn’t call the top in gold in 1980 because of any kind of a system. I was told, I acted on what I was told… His sources are talking again, and Sinclair says he was told: ‘Number one, the downside on gold is extraordinarily limited here. Two, the rally we are facing that will come in gold is going to be stupendous…’ ”

Tories demolish 200,000-strong petition to legalise cannabis before it’s even debated – by Dan Bloom, Mirror.co.uk – “It adds the UK’s drug policy is clear, saying: “Substantial scientific evidence shows cannabis is a harmful drug that can damage human health… “The Tory administration has now issued a thundering reply which says it has no plans to end the war on drugs… They’re supposed to reply before a debate takes place, but the strength and tone of ministers’ opposition could see the petition blocked before reaching the Commons chamber… That’s because it has to pass through two Tory-dominated committees before being opened to all MPs, competing with other causes for valuable airtime… ‘There are no plans to legalise cannabis as it would not address the harm to individuals and communities… Cannabis can unquestionably cause harm to individuals and society.’.. The campaign is the second most popular on the government’s website – but ministers say the drug causes misery and harm.”

The Sabbatean Sabotage of Humanity – by Zen Gardner, ZenGardner.com – “Sabbatean refers to a certain Kabbalist lineage dating back to Shabbatai Tzvi who ran with the twisted occult teachings of a denizen of the deep satanic occultist named Isaac Luria. Shabbatai later gained massive power and notoriety and eventually proclaimed himself the messiah du jour. His subsequent influence is very alive today in the many forms into which it has since morphed… The psychopathic nature of this aggressive swarm not only has no conscience nor empathy, but is supported and justified by a plethora of perverted Luciferian precepts that defy comprehension to the average human. This is what fuels their despotic fires and draws in carefully selected subhuman psychotic accomplices from all quarters. All is permitted and justified, and those who believe in empathy and any sense of good or conscience are dismissed as dumb sheep that deserve to be manipulated, abused and handily slaughtered… Their credo and underlying belief in a nutshell: We shall bring destruction, perversion and chaos to precipitate the return of our true god under whom we shall have full reign over humanity. And we can do whatever the hell we want without compunction or conscience. Anything under any guise.”

This December, Agenda 21 is Getting an “Update” – by Rusticus, ActivistPost.com – “The purpose of these festivities, however, is hardly mere ceremony; as Agenda 21 comes of age, the burdens it places upon those living beneath its yoke are also maturing. Unlike every UN Climate Convention since Rio 1992, which were mere “global visioning” seminars, COP21, according to the Anglo-American Cambridge University, has far more grandiose and binding aspirations: ‘The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21 or CMP11 will be held in Paris, France in 2015. The international climate conference will be held from 30 November to 11 December 2015. The conference objective is to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all the nations of the world.’ –Cambridge Interdisciplinary Research on the Environment… In other words, Agenda 21 v2.0 will soon be upon us… Information on what exactly this “upgrade” entails for Free Humanity is sparse, as the UN remains resolutely vague (perhaps deliberately, given recent notoriety surrounding “sustainable development”) on the specifics of the Convention’s “binding and universal agreement.” Yet in spite of Globalism’s sincere attempt to obfuscate Neofeudal Technocracy’s latest iteration, open-source intelligence can give us a glimpse behind the proverbial curtain at the magic tricks in store at COP21 this December.”

Neal Adams – The Earth is Growing – Must-See animation of important scientific theory (10 min)

The Expanding Earth, Expanding Consciousness Theory – by Gregg Prescott, WakingTimes.com – “Many metaphysicians and scientists believe that our universe is expanding, so based on the premise, ‘As above, so below’, is it within the realm of possibility that Earth is expanding as well? If so, then is it possible that as the universe and Earth expands, then so does our consciousness?.. The awakening of consciousness reflects the premise of “As on the inside, so on the outside”. Is there a correlation between these two premises or is it simply a coincidence?.. Neal Adams proposed an expanding earth theory in which the continents on this planet have moved due to the increasing size of the Earth…. There is an awakening of consciousness on our planet that is occurring in exponential proportions. As the Earth expands, is it possible that our consciousness is reflecting not only the expansion of our planet, but the universe as well? Even our physical bodies, in general, are growing larger and taller with each generation. Are these changes also reflective of an expanding earth and universe?

Scientists in Canada Being Censored from Covering Dangers of Aluminum in Vaccines -by Christina England, HealthImpactNews.com – “Over recent weeks, the Canadian media have been actively criticizing the work of two researchers from the University of British Columbia. Newspapers have stated that studies written by Professor Christopher Shaw and Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic, outlining a correlation between the adjuvant aluminum used in vaccines and autism were “weak and misleading,” stating that the studies had been previously discredited by the World Health Organization (WHO)… Award-winning journalist, Ms. Carly Weeks from the Globe and Mail, opened her report by citing a study that had been highlighted on the Children’s Medical Safety Research Institute (CMSRI) website, written by the researchers in 2013… Instead of actually researching their paper in depth and quoting what the researchers had discovered and how they had come to their conclusions, Ms. Weeks continued her vicious attack by cleverly averting her readers’ attention away from the 2013 paper, focusing their attention instead on a WHO report written in 2012 which referred to two 2011 studies… It is a complete mystery as to why such a capable young journalist could only find an out-of-date report consisting of a total of three poorly written and inaccurate paragraphs to support her argument. Especially since the WHO has no solid proof that aluminum adjuvants are safe. In a statement written in their paper titled World Health Organization. Weekly and epidemiological record 7 Jan 2005 in a section titled Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, 2–3 December 2004, they admit that they have neglected this subject…”

Meanwhile, the real enemy reports its plans to the government it serves to justify its budgeting needs without much notice at all by we it seeks to fundamentally alter and destroy. Why?

SWAT Team Raids Home, Kills Man Over $2 Worth of Pot – Informant Exposes Police Cover-Up – by Jay Syrmopoulos, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – ” ‘They have IA, they have internal investigations but when you police yourself, you have that veil of concern by the outsider,’ said attorney T.J. Grimaldi… On Tuesday,…Grimaldi, representing the family of Westcott, informed the city that family would be filing a lawsuit, after finding numerous “glaring inconsistencies” in police statements in the aftermath of the killing… ‘We have developed and seen what we view to be significant inconsistencies with the way that the police department portrayed this case from the get-go all the way to its conclusion,’ he said. ‘We have put the city and the police department on notice that we are going to be filing a lawsuit,’ Grimaldi said… Westcott became the target of an intense drug trafficking investigation after a confidential informant led investigators to believe that Westcott was a dealer, as opposed to the casual cannabis smoker he was in reality. The informant has since gone public and admitted that he was lying to police in the case… The stench of a police cover-up is strong in this case… Initially, police claimed that a neighbor’s complaints led to the raid. After further investigation revealed that information to be false, police then attempted to say that the information was from an undercover officer. Finally after being pressed by a relentless investigation into the facts, police revealed they used a confidential informant.”

‘Three Israeli officers killed in operation in Syria’ Iranian media claims – from the Jerusalem Post, JPost.com – “At least 42 soldiers were allegedly killed in a Syrian air raid in Daraá, including three supposed Israeli officers, reported Fars News, an official Iranian news agency, on Saturday… According to the report, military sources have reported the death of senior Israeli and Jordanian officers in Southern Syria following an air raid operation in the region. The report refers to the Israeli officers as ‘terrorist commanders.’ ”

NASA-MorgellonsWhat Does NASA Have in Common with Morgellons Disease? – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “Readers may be asking, “What’s Morgellons disease?” Well, it’s one of the new, technical age diseases, which may have its roots in genetic engineering/modification or even transhumanism research. Allopathic medicine is bombing out on acknowledging that it exists, claiming sufferers are delusional, but those who do acknowledge it, feel it’s a legitimate health problem and candidly suggest there is no treatment for it… However, most of the efforts to research and deal with Morgellons have been taken on by patients like Cindy Casey, who tells her story here… Interestingly though, some research has surfaced that may put another spin on Morgellons. That evidence is a NASA logo embedded in Morgellons fibers as artificial bio-intelligence! Don’t believe that? Well, how about this video that apparently exposes what NASA’s been doing for close to 40 years: creating artificial life by altering the genomes of cells. The early plans were titled ‘Artificial Cells: Prospects for Biotechnology.’ ”

Jeremy Corbyn and the Jews – by Gilad Atzmon, Gilad.co.uk – “The vastly growing popularity of Jeremy Corbyn amongst Brits can be easily explained. Following decades of cultural Marxist, divisive Identiterian politics and Zionist-Neocon domination within the British Left, Corbyn brings along a refreshing ideological alternative. Corbyn seems to re-unite the Brits. He cares for the weak. He opposes interventionist wars. He represents the return of the good old left as opposed to New Labour’s affinity with big money, choseness and exceptionalism. He cares for the students and the youth. He thinks about the future and promises to undo the damage created by Blair and Cameron. But as Britain sees the rise of a hugely popular ideological movement, many Jewish institutions see Corbyn as an arch enemy. They would prefer to see him gone and have used nearly every trick in the book to discredit him.”

Israel-Syria-mapIsrael “Drills” Ground Incursion In Syria; Pretext Fighting Terror Israel Helped Create – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “The justification for the concern over the Golan border area is that “Iran has opened a new front against Israel on the Golan Heights.” This accusation is leveled repeatedly throughout the articles detailing the drills and preparations being made by Israel yet neither the media outlets nor the Israeli government has offered credible evidence to buttress their claims… The source for claims that Iran has opened a new offensive against Israel seems to be rooted in a recent clash between IDF forces and four Druze villagers who allegedly attempted to detonate explosive devices at three locations along the border fence. Israel blames the alleged bombing attempt on Iran, claiming that the Persian nation recruited the four Druze villagers to conduct terrorist attacks against Israel… Without pointing out that much of the Golan Heights was stolen by Israel decades ago and represents yet another illegal Israeli occupation, it is also important to note that not one shred of evidence has yet been provided to back up Israel’s claims regarding the Iranian involvement.”

EU Commission Says None of Your Business on Glyphosate Risk Assessment – by Heather Callaghan, ActivistPost.com – “Unlike propagandists acting as scientism skeptics, who pretend it’s safe to drink glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide) – many other studies and observations prove that human exposure is hazardous. Sometimes it’s finding out that glyphosate can lead to breast cancer in parts per trillion, that it hijacks hormones and is found in breast milk and in rain samples. Sometimes it’s a farmer waking up to discover that his piglets are deformed and dying – so he sends them off to a lab. Sometimes you find out that the so-called experts who tell us to “trust science” as they pretend to drink glyphosate are actually getting funds from Monsanto… Here, we actually have independent researchers ready to face the results of the assessment, come what may, and the Commission basically says, “you can’t look at that.” Even though parts of Europe are known for blocking GMO crops, restricting pesticides and labeling or restricting GMO food products, Monsanto et al. have been orbiting the EU strategically finding openings. Whether it’s by funding research projects to “help the bees,” pretending to help the bees, or better yet, getting super cozy with the commish‘.”

Michael-n-Lowell_MilkenThe brothers who funded Blair, Israeli settlements and Islamophobia – by Sarah Marusek and David Miller, MiddeEastEye.net – “between 2009 and 2013, the Lowell Milken Family Foundation funnelled $607,000 to the Ariel settlement in the central occupied West Bank, either through the tax-exempt charity American Friends of Ariel or directly to the Ariel University Center of Samaria… Indeed, Lowell Milken’s contributions to the illegal settlement are so important that the Friends of Ariel website has dubbed him ‘Ariel’s Celebrity’… Also between 2009-2013, the Milken family foundations donated $555,000 to Aish HaTorah, an international Jewish Orthodox organisation that staunchly defends Israeli policies and features pro-settlement articles on its website. Ronn Torossian, a spokesperson for Aish HaTorah in New York, once told writer Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic magazine, ‘I think we should kill a hundred Arabs or a thousand Arabs for every one Jew they kill,’ adding that: ‘If someone from a town blows himself up and kills Jews, we should wipe out the town he’s from, kill them all.’ ”

23 Nations Around The World Where Stock Market Crashes Are Already Happening – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “As you read this article, almost every single stock market in the world is down significantly from a record high that was set either earlier this year or late in 2014. But even though stocks have been sliding in the western world, they haven’t completely collapsed just yet… In much of the developing world, it is a very different story. Emerging market currencies are crashing hard, recessions are starting, and equity prices are getting absolutely hammered… Posted below is a list that I put together of 23 nations around the world where stock market crashes are already happening. To see the stock market chart for each country, just click the link…”

Kerry-at-Erdogan's_TableAnkara: the New Capital of Jihad – by Mike Whitney, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Has US policy in Syria fallen prey to the political ambitions of one man, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan?.. Certainly not. Washington has its own malignant agenda in Syria, which is to topple Syrian President Bashar al Assad, split the country into pieces, lock-down critical pipeline corridors, and establish a “Salafist principality” that will justify continued US intervention across the Middle East for the foreseeable future. These are the objectives of US policy and they haven’t changed because of anything Erdogan has done… That’s not to say that Erdogan hasn’t complicated matters by requiring the US to play by Turkey’s rules. He has. Just look at the Incirlik deal. In theory, it looks like a win-win for US war-planners who will now be able to cross into Syrian airspace in 15 minutes instead of the two hours it took from Bahrain. But the devil is in the details which suggest constraints on the US military’s ability to conduct its own campaign or even choose its own targets. Take a look at this excerpt from an article in Al Monitor: ‘Turkey wants to open Incirlik not only to US warplanes but also to the aircraft of anti-IS NATO members France, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Canada. What Turkey wants to accomplish here is to affix NATO legitimacy to the operation by reinforcing the perception that operations against IS targets in Syria are part of a NATO mission… Turkey insists that operations, flight routes and targets should be decided collectively by the coordination cell, but subject to Turkey’s final approval. This means decisions made at Incirlik must be conveyed to Ankara immediately. The coordination center in Ankara must be kept informed of all operations and flights in real time with Incirlik.’ ”

Trumping the Federal Debt Without Playing the Default Card – by Ellen Brown, EllenBrown.com – “In 2011, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul proposed dealing with the debt ceiling by simply voiding out the $1.7 trillion in federal securities then held by the Fed. As Stephen Gandel explained Paul’s solution in Time Magazine, the Treasury pays interest on the securities to the Fed, which returns 90% of these payments to the Treasury. Despite this shell game of payments, the $1.7 trillion in US bonds owned by the Fed is still counted toward the debt ceiling. Paul’s plan: Get the Fed and the Treasury to rip up that debt. It’s fake debt anyway. And the Fed is legally allowed to return the debt to the Treasury to be destroyed… Congressman Alan Grayson, a Democrat, also endorsed this proposal.”

French_Train_Heroes‘Let’s Roll’ Part Deux: American (Military) Tourists Thwart ‘Random ISIS Attack’ in Paris – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “According to accounts, there was a second passenger with the alleged gunman. New York Times reported: ‘Less than an hour away from Paris, a French passenger got up from his seat to use the toilets at the back of the carriage. Suddenly, in front of him rose a slightly built man. Across the man’s chest, in a sling, was an automatic rifle of the kind favored by jihadists the world over: an AK-47.’ Another key hero character in this drama is passenger, Chris Norman, who the media have been describing as ‘a British consultant who helps African entrepreneurs find financing in Europe.’ A traveling salesman of international third world finance, no less. However, while speaking to media, it’s clear that Norman has a clear South African accent, but is not referred to as South African, but instead as ‘British’. It is not known whether or not Norman has a defense industry or government background.”

Global stocks in ‘panic mode’ as Chinese factory slump drags on markets – by Shane Hickey and Martin Farrer, TheGuardian.com – “The preliminary Caixin/Markit China manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) stood at 47.1 in August, well below economists’ expectations of 47.7 and down from July’s final 47.8… The reading was the worst since March 2009, the depths of the global financial crisis, and the sixth straight one below the 50-point level, which separates growth in activity from contraction on a monthly basis… ‘The poor number confirms what higher frequency data has been suggesting, that more weakness in the economy is likely,’ said Chester Liaw, an economist at Forecast in Singapore… He added: ‘The authorities claimed that there will be a rebound in demand in the second half but it appears that the opposite is happening. With first half GDP scraping the bottom of the barrel at 7%, the authorities will have a fight on their hands to ensure that the second half of the year comes in at even the same level.’.. A detailed breakdown of the activity survey showed conditions were deteriorating on almost every level, with factory output sinking to a near four-year low, domestic and export orders declining at a faster rate than in July and companies laid off more workers.”

Carola_Herlin-stabbed-IKEAThe IKEA Murders: Sweden in Crisis – by Ingrid Carlqvist, GatestoneInstitute.org – “The elder of the two asylum seekers, a 36-year-old man, had twice been denied residency status in Sweden — because he had already been granted residency it in Italy — but he had not yet been deported. (Eritreans without residence permits in other EU-countries automatically get to stay in Sweden.).. The killer also inflicted life-threatening injuries on himself, and underwent several surgeries before the police could finally question him. On August 14, he confessed. His 23-year-old compatriot was released from custody, because the police no longer believe he had anything to do with the murders or had even known what his friend was planning to do… Fear has now struck the Swedes. Even those who had routinely brand critics of immigration and multiculturalism racist, were shaken to the core.”

US No-Fly List Uses ‘Predictive Judgement’ Instead of Hard Evidence – from yro.Slashdot.org – “The Obama administration is seeking to block the release of further information about how the predictions are made, as damaging to national security. “If the Government were required to provide full notice of its reasons for placing an individual on the No Fly List and to turn over all evidence (both incriminating and exculpatory) supporting the No Fly determination, the No Fly redress process would place highly sensitive national security information directly in the hands of terrorist organizations and other adversaries,” says the assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, Michael Steinbach.”

Henry-n-cuffsKissinger: ‘Breaking Russia Has Become Objective For US’ – from RT.com via InformationClearingHouse.info – “With the armed conflict in Ukraine still showing no signs of resolution, Kissinger repeated his previous proposal for Ukraine to become a buffer, or mediator state between Russia and the West… “We should explore the possibilities of a status of nonmilitary grouping on the territory between Russia and the existing frontiers of NATO,” he told The National Interest. “The West hesitates to take on the economic recovery of Greece; it’s surely not going to take on Ukraine as a unilateral project. So one should at least examine the possibility of some cooperation between the West and Russia in a militarily nonaligned Ukraine.”.. While Kissinger insists that he believes that Ukraine’s territorial integrity, including Crimea, which joined Russia last year, should have remained unaffected, he called for the West to stop backing Kiev at all costs, even as the victims of the conflict pile up… “The Ukraine crisis is turning into a tragedy because it is confusing the long-range interests of global order with the immediate need of restoring Ukrainian identity,” summed up the veteran diplomat.”

New NASA research points to possible HAARP connection in Japan earthquake, tsunami – from TheWatchers.Adorraeli.com – “A casual glance at the graphics presented as part of Ouzounov’s research data shows near-perfect heat rings present above the epicenter of the quake. If radon emissions from the fault line were truly responsible for creating these heat zones, they would more than likely have had irregular, scattered appearances, rather than concentric circles. This anomaly by itself debunks the theory that the impending earthquake caused the heat patterns… Also, readings from the HAARP Induction Magnetometer, which visualizes the frequency spectrum of signals detected in the earth’s geomagnetic field, show that a steady, ultra-low frequency (ULF) of roughly 2.5 Hz was being broadcast days before the earthquake. The 2.5 Hz ULF happens to be the exact same frequency as the natural resonance produced by an earthquake — and since there were no constant earthquakes occurring on the days before the quake as the HAARP Induction Magnetometer appeared to indicate, the logical conclusion is that the signal was being broadcast to induce the quake (http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=1624).”

Israel Fires Rockets Into Syria, Claims Targets Were ‘Iran-Backed’. Are They Playing With Fire? – by Randy Johnson, 21stCenturyWire.com – “With regards to the Middle East, wherever you stand on certain events being ‘designed’, or at least capitalized off of by direct beneficiaries – like military industrial complex stakeholders, defense contractors, mega oil corporations and politicians – it should be obvious that Syria seems to have been in the works for some time. Foreign interests have been at work to destabilize the country since fracturing began in 2011… The Middle East is a veritable “False Flag Grab Bag”. It can be ISIS or Al Qaeda–or any terror group you never heard of yet. It can come from anywhere in the region. The reasons for things to escalate, requiring action in the minds of Western political leaders and conflict-friendly network and cable news media are many. The infamous Syrian “chemical attacks” two years ago in August 2013, although thoroughly debunked by 21WIRE and others, was a serious attempt to kick things off in the region, but it never fully materialized… We see the cycle beginning again. This week, a marketplace massacre in Douma, Syria is being blamed on the Syrian government’s military, and as expected, it has prompted western media calls for another humanitarian intervention. Expect more such incidents in the coming weeks and months.”

Bradstreet-GcMAF-textGcMAF (Gc Macrophage Activating Factor) – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “…three other now-dead doctors were clearly associated with GcMAF. At least one charged that childhood vaccines were linked to destroying a child’s ability to produce and maintain GcMAF in his body throughout his life and thus made children more susceptible to autism, illness and premature death… If vaccines are shown to suppress the natural production of GcMAF, billions of dollars in profits for pharmaceutical firms may be lost and some medical researchers, corporate executives and FDA regulators might be subject to civil or criminal charges. The opportunity for conspiracy theories is substantial… The five deaths in four weeks makes the conspiracy theories seem credible… There may be dozens, even more, of YouTube videos on the subject. Here are three.” (emph. added)

New Zealand govt slammed by rights group for blasphemy law ‘enacted by stealth – from RT.com – “The Harmful Digital Communications Act came into force on July 2. It introduces a number of communication principles. One of them states: ‘A digital communication should not denigrate an individual by reason of his or her colour, race, ethnic or national origins, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.’.. Violators of the law will have to pay a fine up to 50,000NZD (almost $33,200) or serve two years in prison. Corporate bodies will face even higher fines – up to 200,000NZD almost ($133,200)… Justice Minister Amy Adams said a special agency would be created to work with victims of cyber-bullying… ‘The agency will help victims of harassment or cyber-bullying to resolve complaints as quickly and painlessly as possible. It will work with parties to help get objectionable content off the internet, and provide advice on other possible remedies,’ Adams said…”

Abu_Sayyaf-US_SASSAS troops ‘dressed in US uniforms and joined special forces on Isis Abu Sayyaf overnight raid in Syria – by Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, Independent.co.uk – “British SAS soldiers were reportedly part of the US special forces mission that saw Islamic State commander Abu Sayyaf killed and his wife captured during an overnight raid… The secret raid was revealed in May this year but was announced by the White House as a US special forces operation, in which Sayyaf was shot dead in a gun battle after “engaging” with American troops… The newspaper claims the elite British troops wore US uniforms, carried US weapons and were flown into Syria’s Deir ez-Zor in a US Osprey aircraft… The SAS then reportedly dug into the desert and carried out a surveillance mission on Sayyaf’s compound, confirming his presence, before US jets attacked the Isis base and America’s Delta Force entered the area, shooting Sayyaf dead.

From the Psy-Ops-Hit-Piece Desk: EXPOSED: The ‘healing’ religion sweeping Britain that sells bleach-liquid cancer ‘cures’ – THE net is closing on supporters of a healing “religion” which sells a dangerous bleach liquid “cure” for cancer and autism – by James Murray, Express.co.uk – “The Mexico-based Church of Genesis II is gaining a firm foothold in Britain despite its medically unproven claims offering cures for chronic diseases… The church actively promotes the global distribution of its Miracle Mineral Solution, which can kill (Note: unproven assertion presented as fact)… Experts say the liquids, which are also sold as enemas (untrue assertion), contain the same chemicals as industrial bleach… Trading standards officials are closely monitoring the activities of a senior member of the church, Amanda Mary Jewell, who lives in a mansion in Farnham, Surrey.” – In the wake of the raid on a meeting in a house in Surrey by Trading Standards Board (regulatory) officials, it is looking like a repressive witch-hunt is being created against the use of remedies containing Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), aka MMS, possibly worldwide. A trial by public opinion is underway. Real science need not apply.

“We Have A Civil War”: Inside Turkey’s Descent Into Political, Social, And Economic Chaos – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Turkey has had a difficult time explaining why, after obtaining NATO support for a new offensive campaign to root out “terrorists”, its efforts have concentrated almost solely on the PKK and not on ISIS. As we’ve discussed in great detail (here, here, and here), and as the entire world is now acutely aware, Ankara’s newfound zeal for eradicating ISIS is nothing more than a cover for its efforts to undermine support for the PKK ahead of snap elections where President Tayyip Erdogan hopes to win back AKP’s absolute majority in parliament which it lost last month for the first time in 12 years… Cavusoglu was effectively suggesting that the reason it appears as though Ankara is overwhelmingly targeting the PKK at the possible expense of efforts to weaken ISIS is because Turkey must wait for the US to show up first, at which point the “real” fight will begin with the possible assistance of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar. In the meantime, the country is descending into civil war and for many Kurds, the frontlines are all too familiar.”

Alaska-Dead_WhalesWhales continue to die off in Pacific Ocean; scientists suspect Fukushima radiation at fault – from NaturalNews.com – “No one knows what caused the death of the whales; however, scientists are narrowing in on the kernel of truth as they weed out possibilities. What scientists do know is that all the whales appear to have died around the same time… Samples have only been taken from one whale carcass so far. Researchers are still awaiting the results on two others tests for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and cesium-137… The mainstream media has cited a rise in ocean temperatures and acidity (round up the usual suspects) as possible causes of the whale deaths while ignoring the presence of cesium-137, a radioactive isotope with a 30-year half-life released from Fukushima.”

U.S. is Destroying Europe – by Eric Zuesse, StrategicCulture.org – “Shamus Cooke at Off-Guardian headlines on 3 August 2015, “Obama’s ‘Safe Zone’ in Syria Intended to Turn It into New Libya,” and he reports that Obama has approved U.S. air support for Turkey’s previously unenfoceable no-fly zone over Syria. The U.S. will now shoot down all of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s planes that are targeting the extremist-Muslim groups, including ISIS, that have taken over huge swaths of Syrian territory… Cooke reports: ‘Turkey has been demanding this no-fly zone from Obama since the Syrian war started. It’s been discussed throughout the conflict and even in recent months, though the intended goal was always the Syrian government. And suddenly the no-fly zone is happening — right where Turkey always wanted it — but it’s being labeled an ‘anti-ISIS’ safe zone, instead of its proper name: ‘Anti Kurdish and anti-Syrian government’ safe zone.’ ”

Moshe_Ya’alonIsraeli defence minister says he is ‘not responsible’ for lives of Iranian nuclear scientists following historic US-Iran deal – by Rose Troup Buchanan, Independent.co.uk – “Israel’s Defence Minister has appeared to imply that his country is prepared to assassinate Iran’s nuclear scientists following a historic deal with the West… Moshe Ya’alon, the former chief of staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, gave a damning assessment of the nuclear agreement between Iran and a number of western nations in an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel… The 65-year-old minister condemned the deal, reportedly telling the newspaper ‘ultimately it is very clear, one way or another; Iran’s nuclear programme must be stopped.’ ” – I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse…

Scotland to ban GM crop growing – from BBC.com – “Richard Lochhead said the Scottish government was not prepared to “gamble” with the future of the country’s £14bn food and drink sector… He is to request that Scotland be excluded from any European consents for the cultivation of GM crops… Mr Lochhead added: ‘There is no evidence of significant demand for GM products by Scottish consumers and I am concerned that allowing GM crops to be grown in Scotland would damage our clean and green brand, thereby gambling with the future of our £14bn food and drink sector… ‘Scottish food and drink is valued at home and abroad for its natural, high quality which often attracts a premium price, and I have heard directly from food and drink producers in other countries that are ditching GM because of a consumer backlash.’ ”

Stephen_Lendman2Spying on Americans: Senate Intelligence Authorization Act, Would Allow Arrest of Journalists, Anti-war Activists, Academics and Students – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “If enacted, Section 603 will require online companies to inform Washington of any “actual knowledge” of “facts and circumstances” related to undefined “terrorist activity” – meaning warrantless searches and seizures of personal electronic content will be authorized, potentially subjecting countless numbers of innocent people to unjustifiable scrutiny… Vague language makes independent journalists, political, anti-war, and social justice activists, academics and students doing legitimate research, as well as others vulnerable to being called suspected terrorists… The possibility could encourage self-censorship. Service providers may over-report to show compliance with the law. Online users could be flagged for using suspect words or phrases… One definition of terrorist activity can be another’s way of describing freedom fighting. Legitimate government criticism could be misinterpreted and misused.”

Vaccine industry social influence document reveals attempted bribery of ‘key social influencers’ such as Disney / Marvel, ESPN, Oprah and a CNN reporter – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – The document calls for the vaccine industry to, ‘Identify influential spokespersons from multiple sectors (e.g., business, sports, music) to reach each identified target population.’.. Targets are identified as groups that can either be influenced or surveiled to track their vaccine status. ‘Data should be used and communicated to align targets to specific needs; disease burden, vaccine coverage, age, geodemographics, economics, sex, race, ethnicity, and family work roles are examples of areas in which to collect data,’.. The report then admits that financial incentives should be paid to such influencers based on how many vaccines they help promote… a process which can be achieved by spreading scare stories about false flag outbreaks, for example. This is called ‘internal excitement for immunization awareness.’ ”

David_Sweat-Richard_MattAfter 2 Killers Fled, New York Prisoners Say, Beatings Were Next – by Michael Schwirtz and Michael Winerip, NYTimes.com – “They were also subjected to harsh policies ordered by the State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision: Dozens of inmates, many of whom had won the right to live on the honor block after years of good behavior, were transferred out of Clinton to other prisons. Many were placed in solitary confinement, and stripped of privileges they had accrued over the years — even though no prisoners have yet to be linked to Mr. Matt’s and Mr. Sweat’s actions… Indeed, it is prison employees who have been implicated: One has pleaded guilty to aiding the escape; another faces criminal charges; nine officers have been suspended and the prison’s leadership has been removed.”

German arms sales to Arab states surge by 50% – from PressTV.ir – “…despite an earlier announcement by German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel that the country would reduce its exports of military equipment to foreign nations…German arms exports to Arab states have climbed by 50 percent since January compared to the same period in the previous year… According to (Der Spiegel) magazine, the German government endorsed significantly more weapon sales to foreign countries between January and late June 2015 than the similar period in 2014… The total amount of the so-called individual weapon sales licenses surged by nearly 50 percent and reached 3.31 billion euros, the report added.”

David_Stockman-of-OMBThe Aspen War Games——No Place For Old Peaceniks – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “The debate about “containing” versus “defeating” ISIS proved that in spades. In fact, the “exterminate ISIS” team embodied an exact caricature of the bipartisan folly which has congealed in the Washington War Party… Not surprisingly the #2 chair in the duo was occupied by a an-out-and-out neocon warmonger, Professor Phillip Zelikow. He was an architect of the Bush wars on WMD and head of the 9/11 Whitewash Commission. His case boiled down to shouting vehemently that the Islamic hordes are heading for Times Square… So America needs to obliterate the 200,000 citizens of Raqqah, Syria before they get us. Never mind that there is not one iota of evidence that the self-appointed enforcers of Islamic purity who occupy a few dusty desert towns in the Upper Euphrates have any intentions or capacity to attack the fleshpots of Broadway and 42nd.” – Note: includes verbiage by Stockman that seems to suggest he still supports the Official Conspiracy Theory of Osama bin Laden as the mastermind of 9/11.

Michael Fallon warns Ukraine war remains ‘red hot’ as he pledges more British military help – Defence Secretary says Ukraine’s eastern border still at risk from Vladimir Putin and promises UK will offer support for as long as it is needed (emph. added) – by Ben Farmer and Roland Oliphant, Telegraph.co.uk – Mr Fallon spoke on a visit to see British military training teams outside the Ukrainian capital, as a surge in fighting in the east of the country saw the heaviest artillery attacks on government positions for six months, with both sides accusing one another of readying for a return to all-out offensive warfare…The most intense violence has centred on Starohnativka, a town 30 miles north of the Ukrainian-controlled strategic port of Mariupol…The Ukrainian military said it repulsed an attack by 400 rebels backed by tanks who assaulted its positions there on Monday morning. Shelling was reported to be continuing in the area on Tuesday…Eduard Basurin, a military spokesman for the self proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, denied breaking the ceasefire and said at least one civilian had died in an “unprecedented” Ukrainian artillery attack near Starohnativka.”

“Orwellian” FBI Says Citizens Should Have No Secrets That The Government Can’t Access – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – The latest sign of this stealth takeover of civil rights and freedom was epitomized in recent Senate testimony by FBI Director James Comey, who voiced his objections to civilian use of encryption to protect personal data – information the government has no automatic right to obtain… As reported by The New American, Comey testified that he believes the government’s spy and law enforcement agencies should have unfettered access to everything Americans may store or send in electronic format: On computer hard drives, in so-called i-clouds, in email and in text messaging – for our own safety and protection. Like many in government today, Comey believes that national security is more important than constitutional privacy protections or, apparently, due process. After all, aren’t criminals the only ones who really have anything to hide? “We are not asking to expand the government’s surveillance authority, but rather we are asking to ensure that we can continue to obtain electronic information and evidence pursuant to the legal authority that Congress has provided to us to keep America safe,” Comey said during the Senate hearing… What does all this mean? It simply means that at every level, government considers its own citizens hostile… Oh, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Tianjin-Explosion“I Could Feel Death” – Massive Explosion Rocks Chinese Port City, Martial Law Declared, 42 Dead (9 Firemen), Over 400 Injured – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – ” ‘I thought it was an earthquake, so I rushed downstairs without my shoes on,” Tianjin resident Zhang Siyu, whose home is several kilometers from the blast site, said in a telephone interview. “Only once I was outside did I realize it was an explosion. There was the huge fireball in the sky with thick clouds. Everybody could see it.’.. Zhang said she could see wounded people weeping. She said she did not see anyone who had been killed, but ‘I could feel death.’.. There was no indication of what caused the blasts, and no immediate sign of any large release of toxic chemicals into the air… ‘It was like what we were told a nuclear bomb would be like,’ said truck driver Zhao Zhencheng, who spent the night in the cab of his truck. ‘I’ve never even thought I’d see such a thing. It was terrifying but also beautiful.’ ”

ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape – Claiming the Quran’s support, the Islamic State codifies sex slavery in
conquered regions of Iraq and Syria and uses the practice as a recruiting tool – by Rukmini Callimachi, NYTimes.com – “The systematic rape of women and girls from the Yazidi religious minority has become deeply enmeshed in the organization and the radical theology of the Islamic State in the year since the group announced it was reviving slavery as an institution. Interviews with 21 women and girls who recently escaped the Islamic State, as well as an examination of the group’s official communications, illuminate how the practice has been enshrined in the group’s core tenets… The trade in Yazidi women and girls has created a persistent infrastructure, with a network of warehouses where the victims are held, viewing rooms where they are inspected and marketed, and a dedicated fleet of buses used to transport them.”

israel-separation_wallPalestine: One state for all or a final Zionist ethnic cleansing? – by Alan Hart, VeteransToday.com – “As I revealed in Goodbye to the Security Council’s Integrity, the title of Chapter 3 of Conflict Without End?, the sub-title of Volume Three of the American edition of my book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, the following is what Peres said to me (my emphasis added): ‘I fear it is already too late (for peace). Every day that passes sees new bricks on new settlements. Begin knows exactly what he’s doing (by expanding his settlement programme on the West Bank as fast as possible). He’s creating the conditions for a Jewish civil war. He knows that no Jewish prime minister is going down in history as the one who gave the order to the Jewish army to shoot Jewish people (out of occupation).’.. At the time Peres was hoping to replace Begin as prime minister after Israel’s next election and he added, “I’m not” (going down in history as the one who gave the order to the Jewish army to shoot Jewish people out of occupation)… The obvious question contains its own answer. If it was too late in 1980 when they were only about 70,000 illegal Jewish settlers, how much more too late is it today when there are in excess of 500,000 and with that number rising on a daily basis?”

Pentagon Sending Local Police Departments Armored Vehicles to Bust Stoners – by Carey Wedler, ActivistPost.com – “Jim Pasco of the Fraternal Order of Police—a de facto police union and advocacy group known for aggressively defending officers accused of brutality and misconduct—denied the equipment is requested to police marijuana and other illicit substances. ‘In reality, they’re almost exclusively used as defensive tools,’ he said. ‘It’s a rare drug enforcement case that would require an MRAP. We’re talking barricaded shooters and downed officers.’.. But the FOIA documents directly contradict Pasco’s description of police motives. Mother Jones notes that in at least seven separate cases, police specifically cited marijuana as a reason to obtain an armored vehicle. In 2012, Sheriff Tom Bosenko of Shasta County, California requested two armored vehicles to be “used during apprehension of suspects in both Marijuana eradications and during high risk search warrant service for drug offenders.” Marijuana, tied with methamphetamines, was the drug most cited by police applying for MRAPs.”

Christie-CluelessChris Christie Flunked Civics 101——Proved He’s Clueless About 4th Amendment in Debate With Rand Paul – by Andrew P. Napolitano, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “Hence, under any of the above federal laws, none of which is constitutional, the NSA can read whatever emails, listen to whatever phone calls in real time, and capture whatever text messages, monthly bank statements, credit card bills, legal or medical records it wishes merely by telling a secret court in Washington, D.C., that it needs them… And the government gets this data by area codes or zip codes, or by telecom or computer server customer lists, not by naming a person or place about whom or which it is suspicious… These federal acts not only violate the Fourth Amendment, they not only bring back a system the Founders and the Framers hated, rejected and fought a war to be rid of, they not only are contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, but they produce information overload by getting all the data they can about everyone. Stated differently, under the present search-them-all regime, the bad guys can get through because the feds have more data than they can analyze, thus diluting their ability to focus on the bad guys.”

Hollande Under Fire After Newspaper Reveals True Cost of Mistral Fiasco – from SputnikNews.com – “Both Marine Le Pen’s National Front and Nicolas Sarkozy’s Republicans party came out with criticisms of Hollande for his decision to back out of the Mistral deal with Russia… France’s far-right Front National (FN) party president Marine Le Pen visits Moscow’s Red Square before a meeting with Russia’s State Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin on May 26, 2015… Nicolas Sarkozy, the former French president, was in charge during negotiations which secured the deal for France. At the time, many political analysts saw the deal as a show of warming relations with France, following Sarkozy’s role in negotiating the end of the 2008 South Ossetia crisis… Le Pen’s National Front party put out a communique saying that the “astronomical cost” of the broken deal adds ‘indecency to the ineptitude of this decision.’ The party communique added that the money could have instead been used to solve budget issues of local governments or to build a new aircraft carrier for France itself.”

‘Our Central American spring’: protesters demand an end to decades of corruption – by Sibylla Brodzinsky, TheGuardian.com – “With their torches lighting the way through the darkening city streets, protesters, many with small children in tow, danced a few steps to the music blaring from a loudspeaker mounted on the bed of a pickup truck… The last time Hondurans protested like this was after the 2009 coup against then president Manuel Zelaya, which eroded already fragile institutions and left a power vacuum during which the IHSS fraud scheme was hatched… Hernández has said his government would get to the bottom of the corruption scandal “no matter who falls”… But he has resisted the demand by protesters for the creation of an independent criminal investigative body under the aegis of the United Nations, like one established nearly a decade ago in neighbouring Guatemala, which has been crucial in uncovering cases of government corruption and organized crime.”

What the Latest Currency ‘War’ is All About – by Pepe Escobar, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Having the yuan track close to the US dollar served China very well — until now. QEs in the EU and Japan led to a weaker euro and a weaker yen — while the yuan remained stable against the US dollar… Translation; since over a year ago, in June 2014, the yuan’s real exchange rate has been the world’s strongest, increasing by 13.5 percent. That was more than that of the US dollar (12.8 percent)… It was not hard for Beijing to do the math; the strong link with the US dollar was eroding China’s competitiveness with top trading partners Japan and Europe… Yet a simple 2 per cent devaluation may not be enough to boost China’s exports. After all the yuan appreciated more than 10 percent over the past year relative to China’s top trading partners… Thus the inside word in Beijing about “powerful voices inside the government” pushing for the Bank of China towards an overall 10 per cent devaluation of the yuan. Now that would certainly boost exports… So the devaluation this week — which has generated so much hysteria — seems to point towards a few more devaluations further on down the road.”

Assad-Putin-360Is Putin Planning to Sell-Out Assad? – by Mike Whitney, InformationClearingHouse.info – “In contrast, Russia does not want a divided Syria. Aside from the fact that Moscow and Damascus are long-term allies (and Russia has a critical naval facility in Tartus, Syria), a balkanized Syria poses serious threats for Russia, the most significant of which is the probable emergence of a jihadi base of operations that will be used to deploy terrorists across Central Asia thus undermining Moscow’s grand plan to integrate the continents into a giant free trade zone from Lisbon to Vladivostok. Russian President Vladimir Putin takes the threat of terrorism very seriously, which is why he has been working around-the-clock to engage leaders from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran, the Kurds and Syrian opposition groups in negotiations to put an end to the fighting and reestablish security in Syria. It’s worth noting that there’s been an effective blackout of these crucial negotiations in the western media, mainly because they make Putin look like a peacemaker who is respected among other world leaders and who is making every effort to stop the spread of terrorism. Obviously, that doesn’t jibe with the media’s portrayal of Putin as the new Hitler, so they’ve simply omitted the meetings from their coverage.”

Your Rights Removed For Monsanto’s Benefit – by Dr. Mercola, Articles-Mercola.com – “The bill is commonly referred to as the “Deny Americans the Right to Know” or DARK Act, as it extends unprecedented protection to Monsanto and other biotechnology companies while decimating state- and consumer rights… In addition to barring states from creating their own food labeling requirements for genetically modified organisms (GMOs), HR 1599 also preempts any and all state and local regulation of GE crops – increasing corporate control of our food systems… Adding insult to injury, HR 1599 will allow GMOs to be labeled as “natural,” while forcing the the burden of cost to conventional food providers, requiring a federal certification to be labeled as non-GMO… HR 1599 clearly flies in the face of polls6 showing that 94 percent of Americans think GMO labeling should be mandatory, which makes it even more obvious that our political system has become corrupted to the core.”

Fogh-of-WarUS-NATO Military Deployments, Economic Warfare, Goldman Sachs and the Next Financial Meltdown – Is There a Relationship? – by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, GlobalResearch.ca – “Amply documented, the mega-banking institutions on Wall Street and their related hedge funds exert their influence at the highest levels of the US government including the State Department, the Pentagon and the White House… The system of cross-appointments together with corporate lobbying is part of this process. National security advisers and former Pentagon officials are appointed to the World Bank, etc. Former prime ministers, senior government officials take on consulting positions with major banking institutions, CIA officials are involved as advisers in key trade negotiations, etc. Conversely, Wall Street bankers are appointed to key positions in government… In early August, Goldman Sachs appointed NATO’s former Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen as a financial consultant.”

Homeowner Fined $25,000 For Renting Out Home On Mobile App (AirBbB), Without A Permit – by Dorian Hargrove, GovtSlaves.info – “In February 2015, new regulations were posted on the city’s website notifying AirBnB hosts that they are required to pay transient occupancy taxes and other taxes. There was also mention that some hosts may need to obtain city permits to rent out rooms on home-sharing apps, a long and tedious process, as reported by the Voice of San Diego. Before that, however, there was little information from the city on the requirements for home-sharing. Currently, several hundred homeowners rent rooms or their home on AirBnB as well as other similar websites. None, as of now, have obtained permits, leaving all at risk for hefty fines.”

Geologist predicted EPA would intentionally pollute Animas River to secure federal funding – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “…days before the incident, retired geologist Dave Taylor wrote to the editors of the Silverton Standard & the Miner newspaper that he believed there would be an intentional breach with ulterior motives behind it… ‘Based on my 47 years of experience as a professional geologist,’ Taylor wrote, ‘it appears to me that the EPA is setting your town and the area up for a possible Superfund blitzkrieg.’.. Taylor references a June meeting between the newspaper’s editors and a representative from the EPA, who reportedly told them ‘we don’t have an agenda’ – meaning the agency – a statement which Taylor described as ‘either ignorant naivety or an outright falsehood.’.. He went on to lay out ‘the scenario that will occur based on my experience,’ in which he says that, after the plugging of the breached dam, exfiltrating water will be retained behind the ramparts, ‘accumulating at a rate of approximately 500 gallons per minute.’.. In the long run, he believes the “grand experiment” of essentially putting a cork back in the bottle will “fail.” Then, he believes, the EPA will come back and say that, since its plan failed, ‘we will have to build a treatment plant at a cost to taxpayers’ of hundreds of millions of dollars… ‘Reading between the lines, I believe that has been the EPA’s plan all along…’ ”

Marvin_HearndonCoal Fly Ash Used In Chemtrail Aerosols: Geophysicist Produces Conclusive Evidence – from StateOfTheNation2012.com – “Marvin Herndon is no ordinary geophysicist… It is his extraordinarily diverse background, deep and broad knowledge base, as well as unique skill set which distinguishes him from his peers… Two Test Methods Were Used That Produced Almost Identical Results: The results of two different test methods, both of which compared the composition of the aerosolized particulates with the known elements from coal fly ash, were not just compelling, they were overwhelming similar. That virtually identical results were arrived at provides an excellent legal basis for class action suits to proceed successfully. Both individuals and families, communities and businesses, which have been injured by ongoing geoengineering operations, now have sufficient scientific evidence to sue the government for both compensatory and punitive damages.”

Erdogan’s constitution ambitions refuse to fade – from PressTV.ir – ““There is a president with de facto power in the country (ME!), not a symbolic one. The president should conduct his duties for the nation directly, but within his authority. Whether one accepts it or not, Turkey’s administrative system has changed,” Erdogan said in the Black Sea province of Rize on Friday, AFP reported… ‘Now, what should be done is to update this de facto situation in the legal framework of the constitution,’ he added… He also described the Justice and Development Party (AKP) as a ‘symbol of honesty.’ ”

Self-DriverWhy a Future Ride in a Self-Driving Car Could Be a Trip to Advertising Hell – Self-driving cars are a marketer’s dream come true, and a possible nightmare for passengers – by Eric C. Evarts, Alternet.org “Ubiquitous driverless taxis are the end game for all these efforts. Such a system could threaten not only taxis and ride-sharing services, it could disrupt the entire transportation industry and even the very roots of the American car ownership model. If you can summon a car to whisk you anywhere you want, any time, why buy one that will sit in your driveway for most of the week?.. The promise is that passengers could work, play games, watch movies, or even drink alcohol in the car. Along the way, the ad for the Cheesecake Factory could appear in the Netflix show you’re watching, and if you click on it, Netflix could place your order and the car would drive you to pick it up. The Cheesecake Factory, Netflix, Google, the automaker, and the Sprint or AT&T communication service provider could all shave off a slice of revenue from your transaction.”

Pipelineistan — the Iran-Pak-China Connection – by Pepe Escobar – “This is a major Pipelinestan gambit, as Asia Times has previously reported. And as a side note, as soon as IP goes online, all those years of incessant harassing by successive Bush and Obama administrations will finally come down to nought… Even before Zarif hit Pakistan something serious was going on in … Karamay. You may have not heard of Karamay, but this town in Xinjiang is right at the center of the Eurasian action; it has just hosted the 2015 China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Forum… As we all know, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an absolutely key component, worth $46 billion, of the China-driven New Silk Roads. CPEC will link Kashgar in Xinjiang to the Arabian Sea port of Gwadar via highways (essentially an upgrade of the fabled Karakoram Highway), railways, industrial parks, fiber optic networks and – eventually – a pipeline… And that pipeline will be no less than an extension up north of IP.”

Catherine_Austin_FittsUS Military Uses IMF and World Bank to Launder 85% of Its Black Budgetby Jake Anderson, ActivistPost.com – “However, of greater interest to some may be the clandestine nature and full scope of the black budget, which, according to analyst Catherine Austin Fitts, goes far beyond classified appropriations. Based on her research, some of which can be found in her piece “What’s Up With the Black Budget?” Fitts concludes that the during the last decade, global financial elites have configured an elaborate system that makes most of the military budget unauditable. This is because the real black budget includes money acquired by intelligence groups via narcotics trafficking, predatory lending, and various kinds of other financial fraud… Fitts has been researching this issue since 2001, when she began to believe that a financial coup d’etat was underway. Specifically, she suspected that the banks, corporations, and investors acting in each global region were part of a “global heist,” whereby capital was being sucked out of each country. She was right.”

‘Tis an Illiquidity that Blows No Good – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “Q: Why can’t people easily sell their investments during a time of “low liquidity”?.. A: Because the potential buyers prefer to hold their cash rather than buy that particular investment… Q: Why do potential buyers prefer to hold their cash?.. A: Because the value and purchasing power of their cash is rising… Q: Is there a commonly-understood, economic term that signifies circumstances when the purchasing power of cash is rising?.. A: Yes—“deflation”… Implication: “Low liquidity” and “illiquidity” are simply esoteric terms used to describe periods of deflation… “Deflation” is usually a characteristic of an economic downturn, recession or, especially, a depression… It follows that periods of “illiquidity” are consistent with deflation and economic depression.”

Obama Administration building personal info database to divide Americans by race – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “As reported by Hoover Institute Media Fellow Paul Sperry, writing in the New York Post recently, the effort will become part of Obama’s legacy: It amounts to the federal government’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race, with the end goal being ‘racial and economic justice.’.. What’s more, Sperry notes, this extraordinary data collection is being done without most Americans’ knowledge (or consent). In particular, administration racial analysts are mining and amassing personal data related to health, home loans, credit cards, places of employment, neighborhoods and even the manner in which children in schools are disciplined – all in an effort to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites… The centerpiece, if you will, of the Obama-led initiative is a database known as Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, which was built by HUD and was introduced in early July. The purpose is to “racially balance the nation, ZIP code by ZIP code,” Sperry writes. The database will literally map every U.S. neighborhood using four racial groups – white, Asian, Hispanic/Latino or black/African-American – and then publish “geospatial data” showing racial imbalances.”

Patrick_Roddie-at-EPA(San Francisco) Geoengineering Activist Patrick Roddie Testifies Before the EPA (w/Video – 10 min) – by Peter A. Kirby, ActivistPost.com – “This last Tuesday, August 11, a group of geoengineering activists including San Francisco’s intrepid researcher and citizen journalist Patrick Roddie testified before the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Patrick went on record about the hard evidence showing the mountains of metal raining down upon us and this Project’s massive environmental fallout. They don’t have any excuses now. They have been informed. The EPA is now legally bound to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. If they don’t, THEY MAY BE PROSECUTED. Joining Mr. Roddie are testifying activists: Jim Lee, Amanda Bayes and Max Bliss. Here is Patrick’s testimony…”

Open Letter From Paris Climate Change Conference Participant Sounds The Alarm – Upcoming Global Climate Change Agreement Ignores Geoengineering, Precursor To One World Government – Activist Michael Murphy Warns About Draconian Climate Change Legislation In The Works – from StateOfTheNation2012.com – “Dear Fellow Chemtrail/Geoengineering Activists, I am writing to share what I have learned, as well as express my concerns, after attending the ‘Our Common Future Under Climate Change’ in Paris, France last week. This meeting was the precursor to a global climate agreement and global government which, if allowed to form, will essentially become a carbon dictatorship whereby every aspect of our lives will be controlled by the corporate/governmental complex. The planned signing of this global climate agreement is scheduled to occur this coming December in Paris. Upon further reflection on this past meeting, it is now clear that there is a direct correlation between geoengineering and the climate change agendas. I now believe this to be the most important time and focus of our activism.”

“Homegrown Terrorists”: New US Draconian Laws Usher in the New World Order – by Joachim Hagopian, GlobalResearch.ca – “Another highly revealing, equally disturbing eye opener is news of the Pentagon’s recently released Law of War Manual calling for open season on journalists as belligerents and enemies of the state. Apparently the US killing machine in its wanton lust for war crime atrocities no longer feels comfortable embedding even the MSM presstitutes for either Jade Helm or future military conflicts around the world. Now journalists are declared the unwanted enemy, particularly those from independent news outlets bent on exposing Empire evildoing… The 1165-page new laws of war manual give license to kill civilians with no pretense of concern as “collateral damage” anymore. Now they too are the apparent enemy lurking in every country where black ops are fighting, currently active in upwards of near three quarters of the earth’s nations. Human life on this planet in the twenty-first century under the already here and now New World Order is the US military’s latest enemy target. After all, we’re all casualties in this globalist genocidal war against humanity.”

Broccoli_PlantVegetable Extract Treats Autism Better Than Drugs – by Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo.com – “Dietary sulforaphane, of recognized low toxicity, was selected for its capacity to reverse abnormalities that have been associated with ASD, including oxidative stress and lower antioxidant capacity, depressed glutathione synthesis, reduced mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, increased lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammmation… ‘Of all the natural substances we have reviewed with potential value in the treatment of ASD, sulforaphane, a molecule found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, is perhaps the most promising candidate.’ “

An OPEN LETTER To Pope Francis Regarding Global Climate Change – The Geoengineering Component of Global Climate Change MUST be Acknowledged and Eliminated – by Concerned Residents of Planet Earth, TheMilleniumReport.com – “Which brings us to the urgent purpose of this open letter. According to hard scientific evidence, some of which has been submitted to Governor Jerry Brown of California, it appears that the regular IPCC research and reporting on this matter has ignored a major component of GCC. As the subject title of this letter indicates, that component is GEOENGINEERING. In fact, there are those GCC investigators who now assert that geoengineering may be the primary anthropogenic component of Global Climate Change, not CO2… …only when the true root causes of GCC have been scientifically proven and received a sufficient consensus, should they be used to formulate an official response. However, all of the most essential conclusions must be first acknowledged and agreed upon by the world community of nations. Only when the profound and pervasive causes of GCC, such as the now ubiquitous geoengineering program utilizing chemtrails, are eliminated by every reasonable means necessary will the planet move in the right direction.”

Julius_CorleyAdult Medical Kidnapping in New York: 1950s Air Force Veteran Held Hostage in Hospital – from HealthImpactNews.com – “The family sat quietly in the waiting area until after visiting hours, wondering why the release was taking so long… ‘They told us the risks of taking him home. Risks were: may not get medication and could fall on floor and die. My mother, also his Health Proxy and POA, was allowed to sign the AMA form in front of the attending physician, Vijay Khatiwala and the director of Hospital Medicine, Andrea Porrovecchio and told (us) she was waiting for a discharge summary until 4 hours later the medical director, Purvi D. Shah, along with Montefiore Hospital police, came and said that he can’t leave and that his removal would be illegal. Purvi Shah, along with security and fellow staff blocked us from vacating with him.’ -Grandson Laredo Regular… Since June 1, 2015, Laredo and his mother have been trying to get someone to help them remove Julius from Montefiore Wakefield Hospital… Laredo also tells us that the Attending Physician refuses to give the family and legal guardians any printed descriptions of the medications or treatments they are giving him.” (emph. added)

Kurdish villagers under fire in PKK-controlled Iraq say Turkey is ‘no different from Isis’– by Cathy Otten, Independent.co.uk – “Dilzar Mustafa, 29, who lives in a town near Zargali, said he heard the bombing raids in the early hours of Saturday morning… ‘We saw smoke rising from the village,’he told The Independent. ‘When we arrived we saw total mess and destruction. I saw several dead bodies and houses that were destroyed, including the village’s mosque that was partly damaged.’.. Turkey began air strikes against Isis in Syria and the PKK, which is also one of the main forces battling Isis on the ground in northern Iraq, alongside its Kurdish sister group, the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Syria, on 24 July… PKK spokesman Zagros Hiwa told The Independent that the air attacks, of which there are estimated to have been hundreds so far, had “unilaterally and practically ended the peace process” between Turkey and the PKK. He described the strikes as an effort to weaken the PKK under the cover of fighting Isis, whom the PKK accuse Turkey of aiding.”

3-Eurasian-AmigosThe Imperial Designs on Iran The Masters of the Universe seem to believe that the “pivot to Asia” won’t work if Iran is not part, as a vassal state, of the imperial design for Southwest Asia. Well, listen to Khamenei; that won’t happen. – by Pepe Escobar, VeteransNewsNow.com – “Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has been extra busy “selling” the deal with the P5+1 in Vienna to internal public opinion. He never tires to stress that once foreign businesses enter Iran, they will act as a barrier against the reinstatement of sanctions – which is now the Holy Grail of US neocons and neoliberalcons. Iranian planners are busy drafting the pathways for the reconstruction of the country’s core economic sectors. Iranian oil and natural gas projects – many with input from foreign energy majors – may be worth $185 billion by 2020… On July 20, the UN Security Council unanimously (15-0) endorsed the Vienna deal — and the termination of seven UN resolutions imposing sanctions on Iran since 2006. That provoked shrieks of desperation in that nest of corporate paperboys – the US Congress. Someone should have explained to that lot this is an international deal.”

Greek_NosediveGreek stock exchange plummets 23% as it reopens after 5-week closure – from RT.com – “However, some limitations for market trading were kept in place. Greek traders are able to buy stocks, bonds and other financial instruments only through new acquisitions, such as remittances from abroad or contributions from customers, as well as proceeds from the sale of shares or withdrawal from the investment accounts in brokerage companies in Greece, Greece’s Finance Ministry said Monday. This comes along with the continuation of the restrictions on capital movement. Restrictions are not applied to foreign investors operating on the Greek market before the trading suspension in June, the ministry added… ‘The situation in Greek equity markets will have to get a lot worse before it gets better,’ Luca Paolini, Pictet Asset Management’s chief strategist in London, told Bloomberg News. ‘There are still critical risks to be resolved.’ ”

Greek ex-finance minister warns Spain of Greece’s fate – from PressTV.ir – “The former Greek minister made the remarks during an interview with the Spanish daily El Pais, published on Sunday… ‘The danger of becoming Greece is always there and it will become reality if the same mistakes that were imposed on Greece are repeated,’ Varoufakis said… He called on Spaniards to evaluate their country’s needs after looking at ‘their own economic and social situation.’.. The warning by Varoufakis came following Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s recent move to cite the financial crisis in Greece in order to promote the Spanish government’s crisis management plan before key general elections expected to be held by the end of the year.”

German_march-Press_FreedomOver 2,000 march in Berlin to support journalists accused of ‘treason’ for leak – from PressTV.ir – “Hundreds of protestors came out in Berlin on Saturday to show their support for two journalists from a German news website that were accused of state treason for leaking information on online surveillance… The two bloggers, Markus Beckedahl and Andre Meister from the prominent Netzpolitik.org news website, had been under investigation for quoting an intelligence report on the expansion of a national online snooping program. But, for now, the probe has been suspended for “the greater good” of protecting freedom of the press… Demonstrators walked from the central Friedrichstrasse district to the Justice Ministry, carrying signs bearing the slogan: “For fundamental rights and freedom of the press.” Signs with messages such as “RIP democracy,”“Fight for your digital rights,” and “Treason? Whoever reacts with such panic, surely has too much to hide!” were also seen.”

Z-Berg-VirtualVirtual reality is next mass trend – Facebook’s Zuckerberg – from RINF.com – “This is where a company, Oculus VR, known for making virtual reality glasses and acquired last year for $2 billion, comes in handy. The idea is to use those glasses to “teleport” users though a Facebook post into a different place, enabling them to experience the joy of a big event they couldn’t attend. One example of these “new experiences” is a birthday party or a child’s first bike ride that could be shared on Facebook, so that users from various parts of the world felt as if they were there… Zuckerberg promised that soon the technology would be so advanced it would give us a so-called “sense of presence.” During a Q&A session on his Facebook page a month ago, he said that ‘in the future we’ll probably still carry phones in our pockets, but I think we’ll also have glasses on our faces that can help us out throughout the day and give us the ability to share our experiences with those we love in completely immersive and new ways that aren’t possible today.’ ”

Venezuela Increasingly Looks Like A War Zone – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Over the years, we have repeatedly poked fun at the transformation of Venezuela into a “socialist utopia” – an economy in a state of terminal collapse, where the destruction of the currency (one black market Bolivar is now worth 107 times less than the official currency’s exchange rate) and the resulting hyperinflation is only matched be barren wasteland that local stores have transformed into now that conventional supply chains are irreparably broken… That is precisely what the video shown below has captured. In the clip, a demonstration against Venezuela’s poor transportation services quickly turned violent. End result: one person dead from a gunshot wound, more than 80 arrested and four shops looted on the Manuel Piar Avenue in San Felix… What is most distrubing is how comparable to an open war zone what was once a vibrant, rich and beautiful Latin American country has become… This is just the beginning: with the ongoing collapse of the economy, the resultant acts of social violence will only deteriorate and claim more innocent lives, until the “socialist utopia” ends as it always does: with the arrival of a military coup or a full blown civil war.”

iran-iraq-heat-July302015Scorching ‘heat dome’ over Middle East sees temperatures soar to 165F in Iran – Iran is enduring a “heat index” of nearly 72C while Iraq has called a public holiday due to the sweltering temperatures – by James Rothwell, Telegraph.co.uk – ” But the word “hot” has taken on an entirely new meaning in Iran’s city of Bandar Mahshahr, where it was claimed that the city’s heat index, or “feels-like temperature”, was among the highest ever recorded… The heat index was recorded by a group of astonished weather experts who predict the country could be enduring some of the hottest urban temperatures ever endured by mankind… ‘That was one of the most incredible temperature observations I have ever seen and it is one of the most extreme readings ever in the world,’ said AccuWeather meteorologist Anthony Saglia. ” – Can we say “Weather Warfare?”

Rhode Island mandates HPV vaccine for seventh-graders – from AP via TurnTo10.com – “Starting this fall, seventh-graders who do not get the vaccine will not be allowed to attend school unless their parents seek an exemption for medical or religious reasons, the Providence Journal reported Tuesday… Tricia Washburn, chief of the office of immunization for the Rhode Island Department of Health, said the Centers for Disease Control found no safety concerns with the vaccine… “The bottom line is that HPV is the most sexually transmitted disease in the U.S.(OMG- the Rhode Island chief of immunization can’t formulate a sentence!) she said. We are interested in protecting the public health. We feel it shouldn’t be treated any differently than any of the other vaccines recommended by the CDC.’.. She said the Department of Health mandated the vaccine, unlike most states, because Rhode Island incorporates all CDC-recommended vaccines into the state’s school immunization regulations. Rhode Island joins Virginia and Washington, D.C. in requiring the vaccine.” (emph. added)Note: pure evil actions are emerging before our eyes.

Health insurers seek huge price increases as ‘affordable’ Obamacare coverage exposed as yet another government price-gouging scam – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “Tens of millions of Americans have also seen their insurance deductibles skyrocket as well – many have become so high that customers have to delay care. Deductibles as high as $6,000 a year per family member are not uncommon… But as bad as all of this sounds, it is about to get worse – much worse… Under provisions of federal law, insurance companies are required to file rate increase requests a full year before they can implement them. Even then, state regulatory agencies must approve the increases… Because new enrollees under Obamacare have been much sicker than insurance companies anticipated, they are requesting even higher rate increases for 2016. As reported by The New York Times, this year’s requests range between 20 and 40 percent…”

Sapin-Shauble-fingersFrance calls Germany’s Grexit proposal ‘unrealistic’ – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘I think Mr Schäuble is wrong and even contradicting his own deep European commitment,’ the French minister said in an interview to be published Monday in the German business daily Handelsblatt, excerpts of which were released Sunday, AFP reported… Allowing a country to temporarily leave the single currency bloc signifies that others can get out of trouble by readjustment of the euro, Sapin further said, adding that Schäuble was “not realistic” in his remarks… The French minister said difficulties should be resolved through structural reforms rather than manipulating the exchange rate.”

Forced vaccinations part of HHS’s Healthy People 2020 ‘Decade of Vaccines’ agenda – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “In addition to this forced use of taxpayer dollars to fund the development and sale of vaccines, the Decade of Vaccines is also focused on pushing more vaccine propaganda on both healthcare providers and consumers. Here are the five goals of the National Vaccine Implementation Plan, which was developed in conjunction with Healthy People: 1) Develop new and improved vaccines, 2) Enhance the vaccine safety program, 3) Support improved “communication” to enhance informed vaccine decision-making, 4) Ensure a stable supply of, access to and better use of recommended vaccines, 5) Increase global prevention through vaccines… The only way such goals can be achieved, of course, is through compulsion and the elimination of vaccine exemptions, which is what we’re currently seeing in the national debate. A report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation entitled Outbreaks: Protecting Americans from Infectious Diseases admits this when it states that one of the ways to increase vaccination rates is to ‘minimize vaccine exemptions.’(emph. added)

John_HouserLafayette Shooting: Echoes of Theatrical Mass-Killings & Emergency Drills – by Shawn Helton, 21stCenturyWire.com – “Accounts of the incident believe that 25 people were in the theater at the time of the shooting. Early reports of the shooting, stated that as many as 100 were at the screening. Other reports say there were 300 people “fleeing”. According to The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette, another eyewitness, Katie Domingue said, ‘He wasn’t saying anything.’ And that ‘I didn’t hear anybody screaming either.’.. “We also pause and remember and continue praying for the recovery of nine other individuals who were wounded in that horrible incident: I mentioned Matthew Rodriguez, the boyfriend of Mayci Breaux; Morgan Julia Egedahl; Dwight “Bo” Ramsey and his wife Jerry – cousins of Congressman Boustany, by the way, and good friends of mine and Senator Cassidy’s; Ali Viator Martin, an English teacher at Jeanerette Senior High School, and Jena Legnon Meaux, whom I mentioned as true heroes in this incident.” -U.S. Congressional Record, 7/27/2015 (!)Another important observation made when looking at the various people linked to this shooting, was that Acadian Ambulance was a contributor ($16,500) to Boustany’s election campaign. Additionally, Boustany (a former cardiovascular surgeon) received $367,850 from undisclosed health professionals, along with $131,740 from health services and 118,800 contributed from pharmaceutical companies.”

TPP Ministerial Deadlock.”Good News for People on the Planet”– Worldwide Opposition to Trade Deal – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “The Financial Times called failure in Maui a ‘major blow…potentially complicating further the politics of an already controversial project.’.. Days of Maui ministerial discussions were billed as a final negotiating round. Lots of disagreements remain – including market access for dairy products, autos and sugar, intellectual property rules, patents on pharmaceuticals and environmental concerns… After five years of on-and-off negotiations, much remains unresolved. US Trade Representative Michael Froman put on a brave face saying ‘(w)e are more confident than ever that TPP is within reach.’ ” – Why should the “US Trade Rep” be in favor of this attack on Americans? Just askin’.

From the Evil-Empire Desk: British SAS Special Forces “Dressed Up as ISIS Rebels” Fighting Assad in Syria – by Stephen Lendman, InformationClearingHouse.info – “On August 2, Britain’s Sunday Express newspaper headlined “SAS dress as ISIS fighters in undercover war on jihadis,” saying: ‘More than 120 members belonging to the elite regiment are currently in the war-torn country” covertly “dressed in black and flying ISIS flags,’ engaged in what’s called Operation Shader – attacking Syrian targets on the pretext of combatting ISIS… Maybe covert US special forces and CIA elements are involved the same way. During Obama’s war on Libya, Britain deployed hundreds of Special Forces Support Group (SFSG) paratroopers – drawn from SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) personnel.”

Russian_ParatroopersRussia Ready To Send Paratroopers To Syria – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “ISIS will remain in play as long as they are necessary, but once the time comes for the US to clean up the mess left by Syria’s three-front war once and for all, that will be all she wrote for this particular CIA asset. Until then, everyone apparently gets to use Islamic State as an excuse to pursue their own political agenda, as evidenced by Turkey’s new war on “terrorists.” Not wanting to miss an opportunity to justify what would otherwise be a rather brash declaration, Russia is reportedly ready to send in the paratroopers should Syria request Moscow’s help in battling terrorist elements. Here’s more via Tass: ‘The Russian Airborne Troops are ready to assist Syria in countering terrorists, if such a task is set by Russia’s leaders,’ commander of the Airborne Troops Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told reporters on Tuesday… ‘Of course we will execute the decisions set forth by the country’s leadership, if there is a task at hand,’ Shamanov said, in response to a Syrian reporter’s question about the readiness of the Russian Airborne Troops to render assistance to Syria’s government in its battle against terrorism.”

Democrat Think Tank Proposes Breaking Syria up Into “Autonomous Zones” – Neocon inspired plan floated prior to Obama’s invasion – by Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com – “Michael E. O’Hanlon, who supported the invasion of Iraq and teamed up with the neocon think tank Project for the New American Century during the occupation, describes how Syrian sovereignty would be eviscerated: ‘The idea would be to help moderate elements establish reliable safe zones within Syria once they were able. American, as well as Saudi and Turkish and British and Jordanian and other Arab forces would act in support, not only from the air but eventually on the ground via special forces. The approach would benefit from Syria’s open desert terrain which could allow creation of buffer zones that could be monitored for possible signs of enemy attack. Western forces themselves would remain in more secure positions in general—within the safe zones but back from the front lines—at least until the reliability of such defenses, and also local allied forces, made it practical to deploy and live in more forward locations.’.. Even the pro-war establishment media realizes there is no such thing as “moderate elements” fighting against the government of Bashar al-Assad. (emph. added)

NASHVILLE THEATER SHOOTING: Alleged Gunman With Hatchet, Found Strapped To ‘Hoax Explosive Device’ – Welcome to this week’s installment of the “Daily Shooter,” another episode tailormade for American audiences…- by Shawn Helton, 21stCenturyWire.com – ” ‘After the incident, police discovered two suspicious backpacks: One on the suspect and one left in the theater. By 4 p.m., they had detonated one of the bags. Police determined the bag strapped to the suspect’s chest contained a hoax explosive device… A second bag, found inside the theater, had yet to be detonated. A bomb squad is on the scene.’.. Many critics of these types of events, have long asserted that ‘crisis actors’ are often used during police active-shooter drills and that at any moment those events could go live… The idea that staged recreations of a shooting scenarios “improve response times and inter-agency organization” is not much better than ‘hair-trigger’ video game culture we live in. The new ‘shoot first’ methodology we see in today’s law enforcement operations – pushes the public into accepting new “rules of engagement” based on new, fear-based ‘anti-government’ profiling… Over the next 24 hours, you will see the media, along with those others at the scene, turn this incident into a PR packed event with new mental health proposals and predictable tales for heroism.”

Catalonia Calls Election in New Bid for Secession From Spain – by Raphael Minder, NYTimes.com – “If nothing else, the quick return of the issue has demonstrated that while an independence referendum may have been previously blocked by Madrid, the grievances that animate Catalonia’s secessionist drive have yet to be addressed… Those grievances have long included a mix of Catalonia’s distinctive language and identity as well as complaints that the region, one of the richest in the country, has been economically squeezed to subsidize poorer parts of Spain… The pro-independence coalition in Catalonia, which calls itself Together for Yes, while not unanimous, is broad enough to present a credible threat.”

Israel_ShamirA Cold Summer for Europe – by Israel Shamir, VeteransNewsNow.com – “The parties of the left and of the right are now quite similar. Europe has neither true Left nor true Right anymore. The pseudo-Left supports imperialist wars and unmans the man. The pseudo-Right supports imperialist wars and cuts taxes for the wealthy. It was more fun with the traditional parties, with the Right hating financiers, supporting tradition, church, and family, and the Left fighting the bourgeoisie, caring for workers, and aiming for social justice… In Douglas Adams’ words, “men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.” Now they all promote women to the boards of multinationals, compete for Jewish donations and argue who is better for the gays… In important questions, they are same-same, as my Chinese landlady used to shrill. Both left and right stands for more immigration, though the left explains that by humanitarian reasons and by anti-racism, while the right looks for a cheap work force to keep native workers obedient. The bottom line is the same.”

US Invasion of Syria: The Deep Breath Before the Plunge – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “In reality the latest pretext, ISIS, was created and to this day perpetuated by US, Saudi, Israeli, Jordanian, and Turkish support. ISIS is incapable of sourcing the weapons, cash, and fighters within Syria and Iraq alone, and admittedly receives the vast majority of all three from abroad. In Turkey alone, hundreds of trucks a day pass by Turkish border checkpoints destined for ISIS territory in Syria and Iraq. So overt are these supply convoys that a Deutsche Welle’s camera crew spent a day filming them and interviewing locals describing the daily torrent feeding state-sponsored terrorism just across the border in northern Syria.”

7 Key Measures of California’s Transportation Challenges – by California State Senator John Moorlach, 37th District, FoxAndHoundsDaily.com – “According to the State of California, Department of Transportation, Division of Budgets, 2014/2015 Fiscal Year estimates, the State brings in at least $10.6 billion in taxes and fees “dedicated to transportation purposes.”.. Caltrans spends just 20% of that revenue on state road repair & new construction… Last year, Caltrans spent $1.2 billion in state road maintenance & repair, and $850 million in new construction. Similar amounts are planned for the 2015/2016 CA State budget.

Holocaustianity on the march – by Brandon Martinez, VeteransNewsNow.com – “When perusing YouTube last night, I came across a curious episode of the BBC debate show “The Big Questions.”.. The topic of this one was “Is it time to lay the Holocaust to rest?” It featured a coterie of Zionist Jews on one end and a dilapidated kosher-opposition on the other who shuddered in fear of the aggressive, hubristic Judeo-Nazis arguing that the “Holocaust” should be memorialized and commemorated until the end of time. To those in-the-know on the Jewish question, this show will inevitably produce one of two effects: it will either make you vomit out of disgust at the insane narcissism of the Jewish participants, or it will cause you to seethe with anger that such obviously demented people are given such a prominent voice in the media to promote their toxic supremacist viewpoints… The Jewish panelists on the show endeavored to convince everyone that the “Holocaust” is a “unique” and “exceptional” event in history that has no equivalents.”

Jim_Crow-LevantTake It Down: US Support for Jim Crow Israel – Struggle Over Substance, Not Symbols – by Dan Sanchez, Anti-War.com – “For example, the recent Jacobin surge to purge every Confederate flag flying over American soil represents the latest march of the symbol-minded. After all, what could be more simple-minded than the notion that imposing the removal of a particular color pattern is a victory for the cause of justice?.. Israel’s Jim Crow character has been accentuated by the recent hard-right turn taken by its political class as well as its broader culture. The rise of the extreme right in Israel has been meticulously documented by the heroic Max Blumenthal in his indispensable book Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel… The clearest manifestation of this shift was the rise to power of the Likud Party and the second premiership of Benjamin Netanyahu beginning in 2009. But perhaps just as important was the attendant rise of the even more populist and ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party under Avigdor Lieberman as a key junior partner in the Likud-led ruling coalition. Blumenthal wrote: ‘With Lieberman’s party serving as the linchpin of this right-wing coalition government, and with Likud’s old guard overwhelmed by younger zealots, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came down firmly on the side of the party’s hardline future.’.. This has resulted in what one Israeli politician called, “the most right-wing government in Israel’s history…”

The War on Conspiracy Realists Continues – British government under Cameron’s watch has been an active and willing partner in the Machiavellian strategy of divide and rule in the Middle East spearheaded by the US and Israel. – by Brandon Martinez, VeteransNewsNow.com – “Award winning reporter Seymour Hersh revealed in a 2007 report titled “The Redirection” that the Bush administration launched a joint covert operation with Israel and Saudi Arabia to augment “Sunni extremist groups” and other fanatics to weaken the influence of Syria, Iran and Hezbollah… Part of the arrangement, Hersh explained, was a guarantee from the Saudis that Israel’s security interests would be safeguarded, which clarifies why ISIS and its affiliates have not attacked Israel despite the country’s close proximity to the terrorists’ strongholds in Syria and Iraq. ‘Israel would be assured that its security was paramount and that Washington and Saudi Arabia and other Sunni states shared its concern about Iran,’ Hersh noted was the first point in a series of “informal understandings about their new strategic direction” to combat Shiite influence led by Iran… Israeli officials have expressed similar sentiments, with Israel’s former envoy to the US, Michael Oren, stating in a September 2013 interview that Tel Aviv “prefers” ISIS and al-Qaeda over the “bad guys backed by Iran,” namely Syria’s Assad and Hezbollah… Oren forthrightly conceded that Israel is committed to defeating through terrorist violence ‘the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut’ with Assad in Syria functioning as the ‘keystone in that arc.’ ‘That is a position we had well before the outbreak of hostilities in Syria,’ Oren told the Jerusalem Post. ‘With the outbreak of hostilities we continued to want Assad to go.’.. The unholy alliance between Israel and the Salafist jihadists came right out in the open inJune 2015 when ISIS released a video threatening to topple Hamas in Gaza, promising to bring bloodshed and ruin to the Strip. Salafist elements tied to ISIS have in fact attacked Hamas havens in Gaza on multiple occasions over the past few months, showcasing their utility as pawns of Israel.”

Elissa_Maple18 Year Old Massachusetts Girl Medically Kidnapped & Abused Now Fights Adult Protective Services to Remain Free – from HealthImpactNews.com – “Although Elissa was released under her own recognizance from DCF on her 18th birthday, Adult Protection Services continues to track her movements while allegedly taunting her and her mother with threats of Elissa having to be placed in an adult group home in Vermont. Franklin County DCF continually fails to relinquish custody of Elissa, says her mother, even after the judge released her on her 18th birthday. When the Vermont judge released Elissa, Vermont’s Franklin County DCF swooped in and placed her back into the system as an adult claiming responsibility for Elissa’s education and health… When Karen Maple asked Franklin County why they still retained custodial rights to Elissa’s records since she’s been released, she stated she was told that DCF: ‘Just hadn’t gotten around to doing the paper work, but we hoped Elissa would sign the papers and return to our care as an adult. We didn’t get around to transitioning her, so why don’t you just let us keep her for another year?’.. Karen’s plea is for her daughter to be left alone. She believes Elissa has been through enough turmoil hidden under the guise of institutional assistance: ‘We are safe and surrounded by family and good neighbors. Just leave her alone.”

Syria’s Assad Says Army Faces Manpower Shortfall But Vows To Win War – from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty via GlobalSecurity.org – “In a televised speech, Assad said on July 26 that ‘there is a lack of human resources’ in the army ‘but that doesn’t mean we can talk about collapse.’.. Assad said the army had to give up some areas of Syria due to military priorities… He said that ‘it was necessary to specify critical areas for our armed forces to hang on to. Concern for our soldiers forces us to let go of some areas.’ “

How Medical Marijuana’s Chemicals May Protect Cells – by David Noonan, ScientificAmerican.com – “Recent research suggests that THC might also protect neurons from trauma. Early test-tube studies pointed to this effect, and so has one clinical trial published last October. In it, trauma surgeon David Plurad and his colleagues did a retrospective review of 446 traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases treated at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center from January 2010 through December 2012. Their study, reported in the journal American Surgeon, found that 82 of those patients tested positive for THC and two of them died, for a mortality rate of 2.4 percent. The mortality rate among the 364 patients who did not have THC in their system was 11.5 percent, nearly five times higher. After taking into account other factors, such as age, severity of injury and blood alcohol level, the researchers concluded that the link between THC and a lower death rate in these patients stood up. Although the mechanisms are not fully understood, previous research suggests that both THC and cannabidiol may increase blood flow in the brain, bringing needed oxygen as well as nutrients to endangered neurons. Because they inhibit glutamate, they may also prevent toxic effects that occur after brain trauma, when neurons can get overstimulated by the neurotransmitter.”

David_Stockman-of-OMBWall Street Still Didn’t Get The Memo—–China’s Done, Tops In! – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “But today’s Wall Street admonition to move along because there is nothing to see in the plunging red bourses really takes the cake. In fact, yesterday’s 8.5% plunge on the Shanghai market—–mostly in the last hour and in the face of $1 trillion of state buying power and several thousand paddy wagons thrown at sellers, malicious or otherwise—-is merely a foreshock; it’s a fateful warning about the global-scale financial temblors heading at the incorrigible army of dip buyers in New York, London and their farm teams elsewhere… In the first place, upwards of 90 million households are in the Chinese stock market, most of them buried under margin debt. Among them, they hold exactly 258 million trading accounts and a significant fraction of these were opened in just the past year by Chinese pig farmers, bus drivers and banana vendors, among millions of quasi-literate others… profits have already nearly vanished in upstream sectors like coal, steel, aluminum and cement; are now eroding in shipbuilding, construction equipment, solar equipment, and other capital goods; and will soon be falling in overbuilt consumer industries, especially, automobiles, as well. Like Japan in the mid-1990s, China is heading for an era of profitless deflation as its credit binge comes to an end.

Turkey, US Try to Establish Buffer Despite Differences – by Jamie Dettmer, GlobalSecurity.org – “In a lengthy dinner interview Sunday with editors of the Turkish Hurriyet newspaper, Turkey’s Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, appeared to acknowledge that, by touching on ‘discrepancies’ and common ground between Washington and Ankara. He implied that U.S. and Turkish warplanes will not only be seeking to protect rebel groups from Islamic State extremists but also from the Assad regime… ‘We had important points in common as well, like being against all kinds of terrorism and the need of Assad leaving power for a better Syria.’ He added: ‘The agreement we reached [with the Americans] has covered our concerns and expectations up to a certain level. I cannot get into details, but, for example, an important point was the air cover for the Free Syrian Army [FSA] and other moderate elements.‘.. U.S. officials briefing reporters in Washington stepped back from describing the proposed boundaries as a “safe zone,” saying there isn’t a specific measurement for the targeted area. ‘The goal is to establish an ISIL-free zone and ensure greater security and stability along Turkey’s border with Syria, a U.S. official told the Agence France-Press, using common acronym to refer to the Islamic State group, also known as Daesh.” (emph.added)

Ukraine-VaccinationVaccine scare in Ukraine threatens health – Rumors of Western plot, death of teen cause families to reject shots – from NBCNews.com – “Hundreds of thousands of fearful Ukrainians have refused vaccines for diseases such as diphtheria, mumps, polio, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, whooping cough and others this year, according to official estimates. Authorities have canceled a U.N.-backed measles and rubella vaccination campaign funded by U.S. philanthropist Ted Turner, and will have to collect and incinerate nearly 9 million unused doses in coming months… ‘I never thought I’d see the day where perfectly good vaccines are being destroyed,’ said Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for UNICEF.” (emph. added)

China’s Stock Market Just Crashed in the Most Predictable Way – by Joshua Krause, ActivistPost.com – “Of course, anyone could have predicted that. While a depression has yet to develop in China, their stocks are falling despite the best efforts of their government and other major financial institutions (which are really just an extension of the Communist Party). There is a clear historical precedent for this sort of thing. Once a bubble pops, pumping more air into it will never blow it back up. The best you can do is blow more bubbles into other sectors of the economy, which is exactly what China has been doing for years to stave off a genuine correction in their markets… You might notice that this is the same strategy employed by America’s financial elite. We’ve managed to keep our economy afloat for decades by bouncing from one economic bubble to the next, accumulating more and more debt along the way. But at the end of the day, that can’t work forever. There needs to be a correction at some point, and the longer they wait, the worse it will be when it finally comes crashing down. And that day seems to be long overdue for the likes of China, the US, and the rest of the world.”

Yemen-4000_killedHeartbreaking images reveal the human face of hunger in Yemen: SIX MILLION people are on the brink of starvation as war ravages the desperate country – by James Dunn, DailyMail.co.uk – “● Former president Abd-Rabby Mansour Hadi fled Yemen in February 2012, ● Forces loyal to the exiled president have since been fighting Houthi rebels, ● Blockades on port are plunging the country’s population into a food crisis, ● 13million people are now hungry yet the sides refuse effective ceasefires… Half of the country’s 26million population are now struggling to eat, according to Oxfam, as the war in the country rages on… Oxfam’s Yemen country director Philippe Clerc said: ‘As the warring parties continue to ignore calls for a ceasefire, the average family in Yemen is left wondering when their next meal will be.’.. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed and more than 1.2 million displaced in the conflict so far… The United Nations say that four fifths of the population need help… As well as the six million starving people, Oxfam believes 12.9million are hungry.”

Israeli Drone Kills 5 inside Syria, Support for ISIS Attack on Druze – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – ” ‘An Israeli plane hit a car inside the town of Hader, killing two (Syrian soldiers and 3) popular committee forces in the town,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights… Hader is a Druze village that lies along the ceasefire line, with the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights plateau to the west, and the border with Damascus province to the northeast… According to Hezbollah’s official television station Al-Manar, ‘two members of Syria’s National Defence Forces were killed when an Israeli drone targeted their car at the entrance of Hader, in Quneitra province.’.. The National Defence Forces have fighters operating throughout Syria. Rebel fighters (ISIS/Daesh) surrounded the village of Hader on June 17 after fierce clashes with Syria’s National Defence Forces in the area.”

Katie_Hopkinsfrom the Shape-of-Things-to-Come Desk: Sun columnist Katie Hopkins calls for ‘euthanasia vans’ as Britain has ‘far too many old people’ – from RT.com – “The controversial Sun columnist, who only recently apologized for the language in her inflammatory piece which referred to immigrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean as “cockroaches,” said it was “ridiculous” that animals could be put to sleep, “but not people.”.. In an interview with the Radio Times, she argued although medical science allowed people to live longer, that didn’t necessarily mean it was the right path to choose… ‘We just have far too many old people,’ she said. ‘It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people.’.. ‘We need to accept that just because medical advances mean we can live longer, it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.’.. Her solution to the problem? ‘Easy. Euthanasia vans – just like ice-cream vans – that would come to your home.’.. ‘It would all be perfectly charming. They might even have a nice little tune they’d play. I mean this genuinely. I’m super-keen on euthanasia vans,’ she said.”

AMA declares war on natural doctors, proposes gag order to silence progressive physicians like Dr. Oz – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “For a group whose professional membership represents a mere 17 percent of all medical doctors, the AMA sure has a lot of gall trying to police the entire medical industry with its own opinions on science. The AMA apparently sees itself as the gatekeeper of all scientific knowledge even though the group maintains an ironic position of clinging to the most outmoded dinosaur science at the expense of medical progress… According to the Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA), the AMA, responding to a recent proposal by a handful of medical students, has decided to make some changes to its official policies on medical ethics. Clearly a reactionary move in response to Dr. Oz blowing the lid on glyphosate causing cancer in humans, the policy changes are directed at “celebrity” doctors who have a mass media platform to influence public opinion.”

Abu_SayyafWestern official confirms Turkey-ISIL secret oil business – from PressTV.ir – “According to the Western official, the documents on the undeclared alliance were obtained following a US raid on the compound of the key ISIL figure, Abu Sayyaf, in Syria in May, which led to his killing… ‘There are hundreds of flash drives and documents that were seized there,’ the official said. ‘They are being analyzed at the moment, but the links are already so clear that they could end up having profound policy implications for the relationship between us and Ankara.’.. The ISIL operative was responsible for smuggling oil from fields in eastern Syria. The oil then found its way into the black market to become the main driver of revenues for ISIL, with Turkish buyers as its main clients… Turkey has been facing criticism for facilitating militants’ border crossings to join ISIL in Syria, which has been grappling with foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. Ankara has also been criticized for providing assistance to Takfiri terrorists waging war in the Arab country.”

UK Children at risk of radicalization monitored and taken into state care (kidnapped) – from RT.com – “Over thirty children in the past twelve months were found to have been subject to court orders because they were categorized extremist or thought to be at risk of radicalization… Some have been put under temporary care orders, with UK courts increasingly intervening when family members seek to indoctrinate youngsters with radical ideologies… Civil courts are also taking action when impressionable youngsters express a desire to join forces with Islamic State. The vast majority of these youngsters are lured into this extremist mindset after being exposed to a barrage of online propaganda… In cases where youngsters are deemed at risk of radicalization, British judges are issuing court orders to stop them traveling to Syria. This measure means the High Court alone holds responsibility for these children and their movements… Temporary care orders, which pave the way for fostering, have also been filed against youngsters feared to be in jeopardy of extremist brainwashing by family members… Between April 2012 and June 2014, over 2,300 people were placed on the government’s Channel program. Some 834 were under 18 years of age, while 84 were younger than 12.”

Gold Manipulation: It’s Much Bigger Than You Think – by Dave Kranzler, InvestmentResearchDynamics. com – “The gold price manipulation scheme will go down as the biggest financial market scandal in US history for numerous reasons. They include the destruction of the free market system in the United States. The manipulation of the gold and silver prices eventually led to the manipulation of US interest rates via the Fed, the stock market via the Plunge Protection Team, and to the currency markets.” –Bill Murphy, GATA.org – “The gold manipulation scheme has taken on historic proportions. It’s been going on for several decades – witness the London gold pools of the 1960’s which were implemented to prevent the price of gold from taking off because the U.S. was running out of gold with which to back the Treasury debt it had issued to foreign creditors who were redeeming their Treasury notes for gold per the Bretton Woods Agreement.”

Do We Need to Bring Back Internment Camps? – by Ron Paul, ActivistPost.com – “Retired Army Gen. Mike Flynn, who was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, told al-Jazeera this week that US drones create more terrorists than they kill. He said: ‘The more weapons we give, the more bombs we drop, that just … fuels the conflict.’.. Still Washington pursues the same strategy while expecting different results… It is probably almost inevitable that the warhawks will turn their anger inward, toward Americans who are sick of the endless and costly wars. The US loss of the Vietnam war is still blamed by many on the protesters at home rather than on the foolishness of the war based on a lie in the first place… Let’s hope these threats from Clark and Trump are not a trial balloon leading to a clampdown on our liberties. There are a few reasons we should be concerned. Last week the US House passed a bill that would allow the Secretary of State to unilaterally cancel an American citizen’s passport if he determines that person has “aided” or “abetted” a terrorist organization. And as of this writing, the Senate is debating a highway funding bill that would allow the Secretary of State to cancel the passport of any American who owes too much money to the IRS.”

Inflation or Deflation? – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “But, if government were sufficiently desperate, it could cause significant inflation overnight by simply declaring that the purchasing power of the dollar had been reduced by, say, 50%. The resulting inflation would be sudden, overt and undeniable. Government would have to take the blame. But sufficient inflation might be achieved to offset the forces of deflation that’ve been significant since A.D. 2008 and actually “stimulate” the economy… You might go to sleep on Friday with $20,000 in your bank account and wake up on Monday morning to learn that government had declared that the purchasing power of Friday’s $20,000 was reduced to, say, $10,000. Creditors would scream. Debtors would cheer. Since most Americans are debtors, the cheers might drown out the screams. For a while… All of which leads me to a recent report by Stansberry Research entitled ‘First Look: U.S. Dollar Substitute to Go Public on Oct 20th?’.. According to Stansberry: ‘On Oct 20th of this year, the IMF is expected to announce a reserve currency alternative to the U.S. dollar.’.. Remember the CNN-Money report from A.D. 2011 that the IMF had threatened to create an alternative World Reserve Currency to replace the fiat dollar? That new currency was to be based on SDRs… IF the Stansberry report is accurate, it may be that on October 20th, we’ll see a new, international currency that either supplants or replaces the US dollar as “petro-currency” and/or World Reserve Currency. One result of this new currency should be at least two or three years of significant dollar inflation.” (emph. added)

Passport-in-flamesTerror Watchlists Erasing American Rights: Feds to “Revoke Passports Without Charge or Trial” – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “H.R. 237, the “FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) Passport Revocation Act of 2015, ‘will allow the U.S. Secretary of State the unchecked authority to prohibit individuals from traveling internationally. According to the bill, the Secretary may unilaterally revoke (or refuse to issue) a passport from ‘any individual whom the Secretary has determined has aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189).’.. ‘The House has now acted to locate and contain these traitors,’ Rep. Poe said in a press release. ‘These Benedict Arnold traitors who have turned against America and joined the ranks of foreign radical terrorist armies should lose all rights afforded to our citizens.’ “

British Cannabis Petition Forces MPs to Consider Debating Legalization – by Damien Gayle, Alternet.org – “A petition calling for the total legalization of cannabis in the UK has been signed by more than 125,000 people in just four days… The response to an appeal hosted on the government’s official e-petitions website means MPs must now consider debating the issue in parliament. All petitions that reach 100,000 signatures are given such consideration… The petition’s success comes after a persistent campaign on social media, with activist-linked Twitter accounts around the world calling on UK-resident marijuana smokers to sign up.”

Well, this rabbit hole actually goes much, much deeper, but if you want to take something home from this level start here: the rules of the game are not as rigid as you’ve been taught that they are… If you start with our quantum nature as your point of reference, everything changes. The very idea that we owe obedience to these pitiful phantoms that we call government, or that we are bound to keep spinning these bizarre hamster wheels we’ve built for ourselves, becomes laughable… It doesn’t have to be this way. Choose something different… Find that millimeter of free will within, and expand it. As you do, you’ll start to realize that reality is a creative process, not a mechanical, linear, progression… You are the quantum singularity interacting with itself. The more we wake up to that the wider the possibilities become.”

Nevsun-Bisha_Mine-captUN finds Eritrea may have committed crimes against humanity – by Tom Miles, Finance.Yahoo.com – “Eritrea effectively enslaves people by a system known as “national service” that involves “arbitrary detention, torture, sexual torture, forced labour, absence of leave”, the report said… National service is supposed to last 18 months, but the commission spoke to one witness who had fled after 17 years. Witnesses reported people being executed for trying to avoid being drafted into service as recently as 2013, it said… The commission said it had evidence forced labour had been used in the construction of the Bisha mine, a copper-gold project owned jointly by Canadian miner Nevsun Resources Ltd and Eritrea… Nevsun could not immediately be reached for comment. In 2013, in response to similar allegations, Nevsun said it regretted if a state-controlled subcontractor it had been required to use had employed conscripts.” – Too bad, so sad…

Russia Shoots Down “US Stealth Coup”: Tough Times for America’s “Color Revolution” industry – by Tony Cartalucci, GlobalResearch.ca – “Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, and honed during the so-called “Arab Spring,” the process of backing subversion in a targeted country and overthrowing a sitting government under the cover of staged mass protests appears to be finally at the end of running its course… That is because the United States can no longer hide the fact that it is behind these protests and often, even hide their role in the armed elements that are brought in covertly to give targeted governments their final push out the door. Nations have learned to identify, expose, and resist this tactic… America’s next generation of “color revolutions” attempt to obfuscate all possible ties between themselves and their agitators in an attempt to take back the strategic initiative by maintaining maximum plausible deniability. But if one knows where to look, they will find that no amount of obfuscation and subterfuge can cover the links between the US State Department and its mobs… The protests were the work of the “No To Plunder” group, led by lawyers and activists emanating from the US State Department National Endowment for Democracy (NED), USAID, and Open Society-funded Armenian Young Lawyers Association (AYLA) and the Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor Office who openly coordinated efforts with “No To Plunder” to pressure the government on a number of issues.”

Erdogan-NetanyahuErodogan and Netanyahu Declare War – by James Petras, VeteransNewsNow.com – “A recent proposal written by Professor Phillip Zelikow in the Financial Times (7/23/15, p. 9 ) entitled “To Balance (sic) the Nuclear Deal, Defeat ISIS and Confront Iran” is chilling… The former ‘Executive Director of the ‘9/11 Commission Investigation Report’, uber-insider Zelikow promotes the formation of an ingenious coalition, in the name of fighting ISIS, but whose real purpose is to “confront Iranian ambitions”. Zelikow’s “coalition” includes Turkey, which will be assigned to attack Iran’s regional allies in Syria and Lebanon (Hezbollah) – all in the name of “fighting ISIS”… The bland, bespectacled and most respectable Professor Zelikow lays out Netanyahu’s own bloody hit list down to the most minute detail – but tidied up with a thin veneer of ‘confronting ISIS’ to obscure his real agenda. This is no blustering AIPAC thug or open Neo-Con war monger beating the drums… Zelikow’s ‘anti-ISIS coalition’ will ultimately go after the Iraqi Shia militia and their main supporters among Iran’s Revolutionary Guard – hewing closely to Netanyahu’s strategy”

The Latest Anti-Choice Move: Try to Take Custody of a Woman’s Fetus – by Jessica Valenti, Alternet.org – “Alabama ACLU legal director Randall Marshall, one of the woman’s lawyers, told the Huffington Post that this is the first time the state has used these charges to try to prevent an abortion. “It appears to me that what the state is attempting to do is turn Jane Doe into a vessel, and control every aspect of her life,” he said… If this dystopian Handmaid’s Tale nonsense wasn’t bad enough, Doe’s fetus was even appointed an attorney, thanks to a law passed in 2014 allowing such a move. (As The Daily Show’s brilliant Jessica Williams said toone such ‘fetal attorney’: ‘You have a crazy-ass job, sir.’)”

Rafah_Bombing-Aug-1-2014Israel intentionally killed civilians after soldier’s capture in Gaza — Amnesty – by Rania Khalek, ElectronicIntifada.net – The most lethal Black Friday attack occurred in Rafah’s eastern al-Tannur neighborhood, where the Israeli army dropped two one-ton MK-84/GBU-31 bunker buster bombs designed to penetrate underground command centers onto a single-story building, leaving a massive crater and a wide radius of destruction… Though the building was empty, at least 18 people were killed in the streets as they dodged an assortment of artillery, helicopter and drone fire hunting them. It was the single deadliest attack on Black Friday… The attack appeared to be aimed at a tunnel shaft inside the building, where the Israeli army believed Goldin was possibly being held… In the earliest hours of the attack, ‘the Israeli army appeared to fire at moving vehicles without distinction,’ particularly ambulances moving toward al-Najjar Hospital. The Israeli attacks on ambulances were likely an attempt to prevent Goldin’s captors from getting him medical treatment… Residents of the Musabbeh neighborhood gathered at the nearby mosque in the afternoon, following Israeli orders to evacuate. An eyewitness told Amnesty that he watched from his rooftop as a drone missile struck Suleiman Muhawish al-Hashash and his daughter, who were passing by the mosque on foot looking for a ride to safety… When people inside the mosque came out to help, a second missile attacked. “Then a third missile hit the door of the mosque, injuring Youssef Ahmed Sheikh al-Eid, Dua Sheikh al-Eid and her three children, all under four years of age,” the witness told Amnesty… Three ambulances were dispatched to the scene. The first to arrive scooped up the wounded but was struck by a missile fired from a drone.”

Pentagon Employing Top Scientists to Improve US Propaganda Machine – by Cassius Methyl, ActivistPost.com – “The project is intended to analyze how “narratives” play into human psychology, delving into the way these constructs affect the mind. A narrative is a way of phrasing something, a choice of words, for example, that is likely a biased strategy to frame information…’Narratives exert a powerful influence on human thoughts, emotions and behavior and can be particularly important in security contexts,’ DARPA researchers said in a paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods… They discussed ‘…conflict resolution and counterterrorism scenarios [and] detecting the neural response underlying empathy induced by stories is of critical importance.’.. Mastery of “narratives” could potentially be used to manipulate the perception of a population using platforms of communication like television to subtly and potently make a person think a certain way. Many people know this tactic by a more familiar term: propaganda.”

Got_Ya-Ya_Bastards‘Gambling with lives’: Private contractors pick US drone targets, says report – from RT.com – “The BIJ investigation estimates that one in ten (Pentagon) analysts of drone data is currently a civilian contractor… According to the investigation, US military drones and spy planes gather 1,100 hours of video data every day, which has to be analyzed, often in real time. Military officials say the need for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance – ISR, in military parlance – has spiked since the campaign against Islamic State was launched last summer… ‘We’re seeing just an insatiable demand signal,’ said Colonel Jim Cluff, commander of the drone squadrons at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. ‘You cannot get enough ISR capability to meet all the warfighters’ needs.’.. Contractors interviewed by the BIJ, speaking on condition of anonymity, say they are usually former military. They say they have more knowledge and experience than the uniformed airmen, who are often fresh high-school graduates… ‘You cannot identify something unless you’ve seen it before,’ said one full-motion video (FMV) analyst… The civilians review live footage from drones and spy planes surveilling the battlefields of the Middle East, and advise uniformed operators whether the people they spot are civilians or potential targets. While the contractors never pull the trigger themselves, their advice shapes the thinking of military operators and commanders.”

Massive Global Tree Die-Off Linked to Geoengineering – by Buck Rogers, WakingTimes.com – “The U.S. Forest Service attributes the majority of California’s dying trees to the intensifying drought, noting that too many consecutive years of dry conditions weakens a trees defenses against diseases, funghi, and insects such as the pine beetle. The drought is generally blamed on global climate change, which can mean a number of things, and heat waves around the world are intensifying and lasting longer. NASA has even reported that rainfall is severely down world wide… However, in areas of California less-affected by the drought such as the Boreal forest of the northern central valley of California, it’s not just trees that are withering away, but shrubs, bushes and plants are also dying in shocking quantities. These native trees and plants should be able to withstand current conditions, but they are losing foliage, thinning out, dropping needles, dropping branches, and dying. This, in one of the most shaded and wettest areas of California.”

Erdogan-FierceRed(highly recommended) Power-Mad Erdogan Launches War in Attempt to Become Turkey’s Supreme Leader – by Mike Whitney, Counterpunch.org – “Turkish bombers continued to pound Kurdish positions in Northern Iraq early Thursday after killing an estimated 100 Kurds a day earlier. Erdogan broke off peace talks with the Kurdish militias and launched this latest assault after failing to win enough seats in Parliament to change the constitution. The ambitious Erdogan needed 330 deputies to make sweeping changes to the constitution that would give the president unlimited executive power making Erdogan de facto emperor of Turkey. His plan was frustrated by the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) that won an unprecedented 13 percent of the vote. The HDP is determined to prevent Erdogan from realizing his dream of becoming Turkey’s imperial sultan . The current war against the Kurds in Syria and Iraq is designed to whip up nationalist sentiment in order to put Erdogan “over the top” in elections that could come as early as this Fall.”

Trans-Pacific Partnership Negotiations Come to Screeching Halt – by Star Fox, ActivistPost.com – “As Curtis Ellis of WND concludes, the negotiations are likely now to stretch into the upcoming presidential election… ‘The failure to reach an agreement assures TPP will be an issue in next year’s presidential contest. Insurgent candidates Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left oppose the deal, pressing establishment candidates to take a stand on a pact that is deeply unpopular with voters across the political spectrum,’ Ellis writes… The TPP has come under harsh scrutiny due to the level of secrecy surrounding the deal. Members of the U.S. Congress have been threatened with reprisal if they speak publicly about the treaty’s contents… What’s also extremely concerning is the fact that members of Congress must enter a private room in the basement of the capital, where they must surrender their belongings while totally absent of legal assistance in order to review some of the text in the treaty.”

GlyphoSprayGlyphosate damages DNA, says World Health Organisation expert – Glyphosate is “definitely genotoxic”, says Prof Chris Portier, a co-author of the report by the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency, which classed glyphosate as a probable carcinogen – from HealthImpactNews.com – “Prof Portier was speaking today at a scientific briefing in London organised by the Soil Association… The Soil Association is calling for a UK ban on the use of glyphosate sprayed on UK wheat as a pre-harvest weedkiller and its use to kill the crop to ripen it faster. New figures analysed by the Soil Association from government data were released at a scientific briefing in London on 15 July 2015. This revealed that glyphosate use in UK farming has increased by 400% in the last 20 years and it’s one of the three pesticides regularly found in routine testing of British bread – appearing in up to 30% of samples tested by the Defra committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF)… At the briefing, Dr Robin Mesnage of the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at Kings College in London presented data showing Roundup is 1,000 times more toxic than glyphosate alone.” (emph. added)

Israeli-linked SITE Intelligence Involved in Chattanooga Shooting Narrative – by Prof. James F. Tracy, GlobalResearch.ca – “…on July 16 SITE was the first to reportDetails of Chattanooga Shooter Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez,’ and major news media have once again unquestioningly passed along the information. ‘Just days before Thursday’s attacks,’ the New York Times reports, ‘Abdulazeez began a blog where he posted about Islam, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks international terrorist groups. He compared life to a prison, calling it “short and bitter.” ‘… Much like Charleston Church shooter Dylann Roof, Abdulazeez may have been “radicalized” through use of the internet. Yet as with the “God is Great” hijackers of September 11, 2001, Abdulazeez’s religious-inspired fanaticism didn’t get in the way of his debauchery. On April 20, 2015 the would be Islamic extremist was arrested in Chattanooga, charged with driving while intoxicated, and released on a $2,000 bond.”

We Are in the 21st Year of Declining Temperatures – by Martin Armstrong, ArmstrongEconomics.com – “The global warming crowd is the MOST unethical and corrupt group of pretend scientists ever to exist. When I was called upon for research to form the G5, I wrote the White House a warning that manipulating the dollar down would create volatility and a crash within two years (1987). I was told I would never again be asked by government for anything. They told me outright that I was to conduct the studies –– government would provide the conclusion up front –– and I would earn millions each year for bogus research reports. I said, “No thanks!” This is how the government conducts and funds studies. They ALWAYS tout the desired end result to support some predetermined objective. Government studies are simply an exercise in political corruption, no matter what the field.

Highly Graphic (Warning!): Rarely Seen Video Of MH-17 Victims And Unexplained Anomalies (9 min) – from LiveLeak.com – “Narrator (a first-responder who arrived at the site 20 minutes after the crash) in possession of over 5000 pictures from Mh17 crash site point out numerous strange anomalies (in photos) associated with the victims from MH-17: 1) Glowing fluorescent dye near 1st body, 2) Strong smell of formaldehyde in air, 3) Absence of blood on and around corpses, 4) Bloated damp corpses, 5) Victims not European looking- she states that most looked Asian, 6) Strange dead birds, including a blue and yellow Macaw that is, ironically, the same color as the Ukrainian flag at the 3:10 mark – This is a tropical bird which makes one wonder why it was flying on a plane from Amsterdam to Southeast Asia – Normally, one would expect that such an occurrence may take place the other way round, 7) She states that the cell phone data had no 2014 photos, only photos from 2013, 8) Bluish/black lips on victims, 9) She states the passports were all brand new and undamaged, 10) Most victims were completely naked with only 20 or so wearing clothes, 11) She states that all the suitcases were packed with winter clothes, 12) She only saw 6 or 7 children bodies (while the official story is that MH17 from Amsterdam carried approx. 50% children!)

Marie_Harf-United4UkraineMH17 One Year On: What Really Happened and Why – by Patrick Henningsen, 21stCenturyWire.com – “To call this situation volatile would almost be an understatement. A pivotal event such as this could easily be used as a pretext for escalating not only a New Cold War between the West and Russia, but also a hot war. Only six months previously, the Ukraine found itself in the throes of a western-backed coup d’état in Kiev which tore the country apart. This was quickly followed by a snap referendum in Crimea, where voters opted for secession from the Ukraine and into the relatively secure arms of the Russian Federation. The west cried foul and so began a new grudge match. Arguably, tensions between the west and Moscow have been at their highest since the apex of the Cold War during the east-west Soviet era. Needless to say, with MH17 the stakes could not be any higher, and regarding the west, it was obvious who would be assigned the blame for this tragedy.”

Will the Feds Curtail Your Right To Travel? — Congress’s Plans to Lock You in – from PatriotRising.com – “So, it’s hardly surprising that in May, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) introduced legislation that would seize the passport of any US citizen with ‘seriously delinquent tax debts.’ The proposal, part of an omnibus trade bill, isn’t new. Indeed, this is the fourth year in a row that Hatch, or other Big Government apologists, have introduced this measure… The proposal requires no hearing or any other due process to grab your passport. All that’s needed is for the IRS to issue a “Notice of Levy” for any amount greater than $50,000.This is a letter informing you that the IRS thinks you owe it money… Sure, $50,000 sounds like a lot of dough. But when it comes to tax liabilities, it’s practically chump change. The IRS has sent me assessments for this amount or more twice. When you operate a business, it’s easy for liabilities to add up. That’s especially true if you take positions the IRS disagrees with and get audited. Should disagreeing with the IRS mean the Feds can take your passport? Obviously, Senator Hatch, along with many of his colleagues, thinks that it should.”

Mini-Jihadis-captionEvil Triumphs: The West’s Hand Behind ISIS Confirmed – by Brandon Martinez, Levant.tv – “With banal hubris, Western regimes denied whole cloth any suggestion that they have been sponsoring ISIS. But a recently unearthed US intelligence document shatters the façade of secrecy and denial, confirming in bare language that the West and its Persian Gulf marionettes are directly responsible for the rise of ISIS. US intelligence analysts, writing in a 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report [1] disclosed by Judicial Watch, pondered gleefully about the prospect of utilizing radical Wahhabi-Islamist fundamentalists as a bludgeon against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria… The document categorically demolishes Washington’s deceptive ‘we were only arming moderates’ gambit, noting that the rebels in Syria (which Washington and other Western powers have been supporting [2] since 2011) were dominated by “Salafist, Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda” elements from the outset. Such extremists were the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria,” the report states with unambiguity.”

Child Sex Trafficking through Child “Protection” Services Exposed (w/Buzzsaw Video Interview 48 min)– Kidnapping Children for Sex – by Brian Shilhavy, HealthImpactNews.com – “Picking up the interview at about the 9 minute mark, Stefano begins to explain that when there is an allegation of child abuse, law enforcement and child protection services (CPS) are the two entities that get involved. According to Stefano, the social workers working in child protection services across the country do not have the training to truly investigate child abuse, because child abuse is a crime. Stefano encourages the listeners of the program to call law enforcement, not CPS, if they encounter sexual or physical abuse of a child, because this is a crime, and CPS is not trained to handle crimes. Stefano says: ‘The minute you call child protection services, you can rest assured that the investigation will not be done properly. Chances are the child will not be protected.’.. She then gives the example of Los Angeles County, where in 2013 CPS took “thousands of children away from parents,” and that 570 children were murdered while in the care of CPS and away from their families.”

Dr_Jack_WolfsonAnti-vaccine witch hunt FAIL: Dr. Jack Wolfson cleared of all charges for exercising his free speech rights on the issue of vaccine risks and the stupidity of blind medical obedience – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “Here at Natural News, we salute Dr. Wolfson for having the courage and perseverance to stand his ground and tell the truth, even in the face of a delusional mob of vaccine fanatics. The truth is the most dangerous thing in modern medicine today, an industry built on lies, propaganda and profits. The very last thing the industry wants people to know is the truth about vaccine side effects and the shocking lack of efficacy found in many of the vaccines being sold today, which utterly lack any real scientific testing at all. See Merck vaccine fraud exposed by two Merck virologists; company faked mumps vaccine efficacy results for over a decade, says lawsuit… The fact that Dr. Wolfson was so aggressively attacked for defending medical integrity is all the evidence you need that the vaccine industry is a house of cards built on medical delusions and a “science mob mentality” rather than scientific truth. After all, any system of medicine based on rigorous science rather than propaganda would have no fear at all of someone raising relevant questions.”

Here Comes the 21st Century Cures Act: Say Goodbye to Vaccine Safety Science (w/Video by Barbara Loe Fisher, 10 min) – from NVIC.com – “Here comes the 21st Century Cures Act, which is a Pharma-driven bill blessed by the FDA that seriously compromises the integrity of the FDA drug and vaccine licensing process. The 362-page bill sailed through the U.S. House of Representatives on July 10, 2015 and mandates that about $9 billion dollars be given to NIH to develop more drugs and vaccines and $550 million be given to the FDA to fast track products to market.”

Zuckerberg-His_Masters_VoiceFacebook Owner Takes Public Stand against Vaccine Refusers – by Brian Shilhavy, NaturalBlaze.com – “So what’s next for Zuckerberg and Facebook? Since Zuckerberg is apparently taking the position that “the science on vaccines is settled,” will he also take the corresponding position that Americans do not have a right to refuse vaccines, for “the greater good?”.. Like technology billionaire and vaccine supporter Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg has enough money and influence to force people to adopt his position. His tax revenue alone provides billions to the U.S. Government and State of California, and he can give away up to half of his income by U.S. law to charitable organizations to avoid paying even more taxes… This “philanthropy” coming out of Silicon Valley is creating what some are calling a “Brave New Economic Order.” ”

How Journalists are Censored from Covering Both Sides of the Vaccine Debate – by Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., VaccineImpact.com – “Nevertheless, I cannot ignore the problems with America’s current childhood vaccine schedule. A case in point: Scandinavian countries like Iceland and Norway, which enjoy much better infant health outcomes than the United States, do not vaccinate against hepatitis B in the absence of medical need. I also cannot ignore the very real financial conflicts of interest that motivate our current vaccine schedule. I encourage parents to research the issue for themselves and make their own informed decision, which should be respected by every physician and our fellow citizens… But if Paul Offit, M.D. (whom I’ve interviewed and found to be smart, articulate, enthusiastic, and personable), one of the most well known proponents of America’s current vaccine schedule, had his way, I would go to prison for writing about vaccines. In March 2014 Offit said that journalists who write about vaccine safety issues should go to journalism jail.”

DARK Act on the Fast Track to Approval—We Need to Act Now! – from ANH-USA.org – “Regular readers will remember that the DARK Act would pre-empt state-level, mandatory GMO labeling efforts with a wholly voluntary federal standard. Companies could elect to apply to the USDA for a “GMO-free” label, and then the FDA would review the product—or they could elect not to label their products at all, leaving consumers in the dark about what’s in their food. The bill is being pushed by the biotech industry and the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association… New additions to the DARK Act also prevent local communities from banning GMO crops!

Hot Times in Geneva: How to Force More Drug Ill-Effects on Billions of People and Make Tons of Money (Forcing Nations to allow rBGH & rBST)- by Scott Tips, JD, GreenMedInfo.com – “It might sound inconsequential, but it isn’t. As I have mentioned before, obtaining an MRL (maximum residue limit) at Codex for rBGH is the marketing equivalent of a drug company being handed the “Keys to the City.” It is a license to sell the vet drug throughout the Codex member-state world, with World Trade Organization (WTO) sanction power behind it. Many Codex members and member states—such as the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, India, Russia, and China—have banned this genetically modified veterinary drug’s use on animals under a very sensible health policy that prohibits drug use on animals for anything other than therapeutic purposes. The vet drug rBGH, injected into cows, is not therapeutic; it is used to increase milk production. Yet, if an MRL is approved at Codex, then the Europeans and many others would be faced with a dilemma: Acquiesce to its introduction into their food supply or else pay heavy trade sanctions imposed upon them by the WTO.”

World_Trade_Volume-2015Copper, China And World Trade Are All Screaming That The Next Economic Crisis Is Here – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “If you are looking for a “canary in a coal mine” type of warning for the entire global economy, you have a whole bunch to pick from right now. “Dr. Copper” just hit a six year low, Morgan Stanley is warning that this could be the worst oil price crash in 45 years, the Chinese economy is suddenly stalling out, and world trade is falling at the fastest pace that we have seen since the last financial crisis. In order not to see all of the signs that are pointing toward a global economic slowdown, you would have to be willingly blind. In recent months, I have been writing article after article detailing how the exact same patterns that happened just before the stock market crash of 2008 are playing out once again. We are watching a slow-motion train wreck unfold right before our eyes, and things are only going to get worse from here.”

While Mandatory Vaccination Laws Are Enacted, Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Is Failing – by Dr. Mercola, Articles.Mercola.com – “It is illogical for the state to pass laws unfairly punishing healthy unvaccinated children by preventing them from getting a school education, and punishing unvaccinated adults by preventing them from being employed as health or child care workers while millions of children and adults infected with hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis and gonorrhea and other transmittable infectious diseases are allowed to go to school and be employed without facing similar discrimination and segregation from society… So far, VICP has paid out $3.2 billion to 4,150 child and adult claimants who have been harmed by government recommended and state mandated vaccines. About 10,000 cases have been dismissed, with two out of three vaccine injured plaintiffs turned away empty handed. Because the government does not publicize the existence of the VICP, very few Americans even know about it or apply for compensation after they or their children were harmed by vaccines… Adding insult to injury, the process is exceedingly slow, with the average case taking over five years to adjudicate — a far cry from the 240-day deadline originally set by Congress for all adjudication decisions. Most people also need a lawyer in order to have any chance at getting federal vaccine injury compensation, which completely defeats the purpose of keeping vaccine injuries outside the traditional civil justice system.”

Azov_Battalion-MariupolRussian investigators assemble eastern Ukraine crimes evidence – from VeteransToday.com – “Russia’s Investigative Committee said on Friday it was ready to give “any international court” evidence it possessed on crimes committed against the civilian population of war-torn south-east Ukraine… Officials were dealing with 54 such cases, committee chairman Alexander Bastrykin told members of its board… ‘More than 100,000 people have been interrogated as part of the investigation,’ he said. ‘About 20,000 of them have been recognized as victims. We have a total of 2,500 volumes of evidence and the Investigative Committee is ready to hand them over to any international court.’.. ‘We are talking not only about the heads of city administrations and military authorities of Ukraine,’ he went on. ‘We are talking about particular perpetrators as well. I would like them to hear this… We know not only the names of commanders and leaders of various levels but also the names of pilots, artillerymen and snipers who committed crimes against civilians in Ukraine… Sooner or later, the hand of retribution will punish them, and they will be held accountable for their bloody deeds,’ Bastrykin said, adding that the committee was currently investigating several criminal cases in this category… ‘We also have defendants in individual criminal cases against whom charges have been brought. They are within our jurisdiction and investigative action will continue,’ he said, noting that details about these individuals could be made public in the near future.”

Greece’s Parliament Cannot Override the NO Vote. The Agreement with the Creditors is Illegal – by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, GlobalResearch.ca – “The Referendum was an outright ”ritual of democracy”. The Greek people were betrayed. On Monday morning, July 6, on the day following the referendum, Prime minister Tsipras put forth a 13 page draft proposal which included most of the demands of the creditors. This proposal, which was drafted before the referendum in close consultation with the creditors was essentially intended to lead towards the acceptance of the creditors’ demands, namely to support the YES vote which was defeated in the July 5 Referendum… This about-turn had been carefully engineered. The Greek people were misled and deceived. PM Tsipras was “in bed with the creditors” while leading the No Campaign. He had made a deal with the creditors, he was in favor of accepting the demands of the creditors all along. The NO mandate of the Greek people was meant to be ignored. And the decision to stall the implementation of the NO Vote was taken BEFORE the referendum… The July 6 post referendum document put forth by PM Tsipras on Monday 6 July was accepted in substance by the Troika. It was then endorsed by the Greek Parliament.”

Omni-Conscience – by Hugh Colmer, OpEdNews.com – “Is physics the best choice for understanding the individual mind, religion, behavior, culture, and human experience? Another alternative would be to create a Global Institution to study various human interests, including: history, comparative religion, physics, sociology, psychology, business, life sciences, cultural studies, spirituality, philosophy, education, cosmology, art, ecology, creativity, mythology, mysticism, and music- culminating into the field of study which Bernard Starr, Ph.D., founder, author and editor of a number of publications and books on psychology, aging and spirituality, has termed Omni-Conscience… Such an “institution” would ideally integrate areas of human interest both past and present. The study of consciousness would impartially offer what tools each critical arena has to offer, and how to use and apply them usefully. The challenge facing physics is whether or not science will let go of its suppression of a world devoid of meaning for centuries. The study of consciousness is long overdue and should be the most practical alternative to the current scientific model. At this stage of our evolution an integrative study of consciousness may prove to be the only solution to the increasing complexity of our survival.”

Ibuprofen-OMGPicked Out a Coffin Yet? Take Ibuprofen and Die – by Mike Whitney, InformationClearingHouse.info – “(According to FDA drug reviewer Ronald Kavanagh) “While I was at FDA, drug reviewers were clearly told not to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs. We were prevented, except in rare instances, from presenting findings at advisory committees. In 2007, formal policies were instituted so that speaking in any way that could reflect poorly on the agency could result in termination. If we asked questions that could delay or prevent a drug’s approval – which of course was our job as drug reviewers – management would reprimand us, reassign us, hold secret meetings about us, and worse. Obviously in such an environment, people will self-censor.” (Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Intimidation, Retaliation and Marginalizing of Safety, Martha Rosenberg, Truthout)”

The clandestine mass surveillance network you’ve never heard of – from AcclaimedNews.com – “Proposals commissioned in 2013 have come to light which reveal that (Pakastani) ISI were calling for a comprehensive monitoring system which would track and monitor all international IP traffic and mobile communications data, including everything sent via broadband, WiFi and 3G networks. Not only did they request that this surveillance system be completely undetectable to users, but it must be suitable for network providers’ future expansion developments… This new report raises concerns about Pakistan’s laws which are insufficiently regulated to protect the rights to privacy of the country’s citizens. There have even been recent changes to legislation which allow officials to implement surveillance procedures on the mere suspicion of an offence being enacted.”

Obama-Telephone-n-PenConfiscation Is Coming: Obama To Issue Executive Order Targeting 4.2 Million Retirees With Massive Gun Ban – by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan.com – “Just when you thought they’ve tried every trick up their sleeves to disarm American citizens, the creative minds within the Obama administration have come up with a new idea… Because seizing firearms from veterans has been so successful, they figure they can give it a shot on a much more massive scale, and they’ll be using a Presidential Executive Order to make it happen… This time the President will be targeting 4.2 million Americans who are receiving Social Security benefits for disarmament…”

“Global Warming” Expedition Foiled by Record Ice – Arctic ice the worst it’s been in 20 years, according to (Canadian) Coast Guard – by Kit Daniels, PrisonPlanet.com – “The volume of Arctic sea ice has increased by 33% since 2013, although scientists who are funded to promote the government-driven “global warming” agenda are claiming the record ice is a freak occurrence… Their claim, however, runs contrary to satellite data showing there’s been no global warming for over 18 years… ‘For 222 months, since December 1996, there has been no global warming at all,’ weather researcher Lord Christopher Monckton reported. ‘[June’s] Remote Sensing System temperature – still unaffected by a slowly strengthening el Niño, which will eventually cause temporary warming – passes another six-month milestone, and establishes a new record length for the pause: 18 years 6 months.‘.. ‘What is more, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s centrally-predicted warming rate since its First Assessment Report in 1990 is now more than two and a half times the measured rate.’.. ‘On any view, the predictions on which the entire climate scare was based were extreme exaggerations,’ he added.” (emph. added)

Baby_MonitorScary Grid: Baby Monitor Hacked to Play ‘Eerie Music,’ Tell Parent ‘You Are Being Watched’ – by Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “Things like Nest home thermostat controls that can be remotely accessed via the Internet. Wi-Fi home security camera systems that would give a hacker the complete, real-time layout of your home and possessions. “Smart” appliances… everything from TVs with voice recognition software that spy on their owners to ovens with built-in cameras so people can record time lapses of cookies baking. Even China was caught bugging ordinary appliances like clothes irons in order to spy on Russian citizens… The bottom line? The smart grid will know everything about you from inside your home… The more you choose to spy on yourself, the more you will by spied upon.(emph. added)

Phony Claims About Syria Retaining Chemical Weapons – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “A feature Friday Wall Street Journal article headlined ‘Mission to Purge Syria of Chemical Weapons Comes Up Short.’.. The dubious source: US intelligence agencies complicit with the administration, State Department, other Washington agencies, Congress and go-along media scoundrels in vilifying Bashar al-Assad irresponsibly – spreading Big Lies about his activities, ignoring his responsible campaign to rid Syria of imported Islamic State and other terrorist groups operating as US proxies to oust him and his government, replacing it with a pro-Western puppet regime… The Wall Street Journal outrageously called Assad’s full cooperation with OPCW inspectors ‘a ruse part of a chain of misrepresentations by President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to hide the extent of its chemical-weapons work.’: ‘…US intelligence agencies have concluded that the regime didn’t give up all of the chemical weapons it was supposed to.’.. Despite evidence otherwise, they claimed Assad ‘controlled where inspectors went, what they saw and, in turn, what they accomplished…according to the inspectors and officials.’ ”

Donald_TuskEU Council President Donald Tusk Warns of Revolution in Europe – by Martin Armstrong, ArmstrongEconomics.com – “Polish EU Council President, Donald Tusk, was shocked by the fierce debate over the Greek bailout in the EU Parliament. He told the FT: ‘It was the first time that I have seen radical with such emotions. It was almost half the European Parliament. Therefore, I believe that no one is a political winner in this process, not even Germany.’.. The resentment within Europe is off the charts. We are witnessing the breakdown of the EU project. France is effectively calling for the surrender of all sovereignty to Brussels, and we have Germany demanding austerity and payment from the Greeks… With the turning point of the ECM is coming up in less than 90 days, we must be concerned that this could become the tipping point in Western history.”

Death of American democracy: Federal judge tells Hawaiians they have no right to ban GMOs – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “Chief U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway…said in her ruling that federal law preempts the Maui ordinance, as it is inconsistent with the Plant Protection Act… ‘It is a familiar and well-established principle that the Supremacy Clause invalidates state laws that interfere with or are contrary to federal law,’ Mollway wrote after first blocking enforcement of the law in March… Excepting a state’s historic police powers, ‘state laws can be preempted by federal regulations as well as by federal statutes,’ she wrote in her recent ruling… As reported by Courthouse News: ‘The Plant Protection Act gives the Secretary of Agriculture authority to prohibit or restrict the importation, entry, exportation, or movement in interstate commerce of any plant, plant products, biological control organism, and noxious weed.’ ”

Erdogan-n-Obama-No_FlyTurkey, US agree on no-fly zone over Syria: Turkish Hurriyet daily – from PressTV.ir – “Turkey’s leaders had on Friday confirmed that a deal had been reached, and said it would enable the US to use the key Turkish Incirlik Air Base, which is located near Syria… However, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet said that the agreement also outlines a 90-kilometer (56 mile) no-fly zone between the Syrian towns of Marea and Jarabulus… Hurriyet said the no-fly zone would shield a planned safe zone on the ground that would extend up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) inside Syria… ‘US planes equipped with bombs and missiles will be able to use the Incirlik Air Base,’ and Turkey could back up their air raids with artillery, the newspaper wrote… Syrian warplanes would be targeted should they enter the no-fly zone, according to the report.”

Obama’s remarks on UK remaining in EU get hostile Eurosceptic reaction – No 10 downplays significance of US president’s comments as anti-EU politicians criticise his intervention – by Patrick Wintour and Andrew Sparrow, TheGuardian.com – “Patrick O’Flynn, the Ukip MEP, said Obama was ‘unwise to pressurise Britain to stay in the EU for America’s convenience. We need to look to our own national interest first.’ He also urged Cameron to recover Britain’s right to sign trade deals from the EU… Business for Britain said: ‘This is a high profile intervention, but may not be the boon that ‘in’ campaigners will be hoping it is. Foreign intervention in domestic issues rarely goes down well with the public, and a similar intervention in last year’s Scottish referendum didn’t have much of an impact.’.. ‘Perhaps the president should remember his words in 2013 when he recognised there were problems with Britain’s EU membership that needed to be fixed.’ ”

TROUBLE IN THE HOMELAND: Chattanooga’s Made-for-TV Terror Psychodrama – by Patrick Henningsen and Jay Dyer, 21stCenturyWire.com – “In our latest installment of theatre terror, another ‘assembly line’ shooting saw the manufactured media profile of the new threat is no longer the basement dwelling Adam Lanza “loner” character, but rather the happy, fairly well-adjusted teenager who is not even “on the terror radar” (whatever that means)… Last week’s Chattanooga tragedy…seems to have been conveniently overlaid on to a script that we have seen for years now – the ‘Islamic extremist’, working with, or “inspired by” cut-out organizations like Al Qaeda, or the new marketing image known as “ISIS” – carries out another unlikely and seemingly ‘senseless’ act of violence… It’s a template that has become somewhat routine in America now. After the national media ‘ISIS-linking’ exercise came the tweets and hashtags, led by #ChattanoogaStrong… ‘Tonight, love and forgiveness and belief in one another was the theme, because that’s what “Chattanooga Strong” means,’ Mayor Andy Berke told local affiliate WDEF… Interestingly, all of the blanket media coverage from the day of the shooting was focused completely on the Marine Recruitment Office located at the strip Mall. This gave viewers the distinctly false impression that the victims were shot at the Mall – in a public space… The only evidence (of the Mall shooting) presented so far is eyewitness testimony from apparent bystanders – all of whom maintain that the shooter did not even leave his vehicle – which in itself makes it impossible for any of the said witnesses to ID the actual shooter as Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez.”

For the week of 7/13/15:

Tsipras-confrontedGREEK BAILOUT: An Act of Treason Against the People – by Shawn Helton & Michel Chossudovsky, 20thCenturyWire.com – “Tsipras led the “NO” campaign while having already decided that in the wake of the Referendum, he would say YES to the creditors and cave in to their demands. This is tantamount to an Act of Treason… ‘Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will have to rush key measures on pension reforms, tax increases and a debt repayment fund through parliament. It will be a bruising process. Only then will bridging loans be released that will enable Greece to meet a payment to the European Central Bank next Monday.’.. In a telling report from Tovima, we learn that, ‘According to recent surveys conducted by Greek statistics authority ELSTAT on the income and living conditions, the Greek people appear to be disappointed with life and work, as 4 in 10 are unhappy with life, finances, work and their living environment. This rate increases to 6 out of 10 for people whose income is near or under the poverty line.’ “

Putin Leads BRICS Uprising – by Mike Whitney, CounterPunch.org – “Let’s cut to the chase: Leaders of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) realize that global security cannot be entrusted to a country that sees war as a acceptable means for achieving its geopolitical objectives. They also realize that they won’t be able to achieve financial stability as long as Washington dictates the rules, issues the de facto “international” currency, and controls the main levers of global financial power. This is why the BRICS have decided to chart a different course, to gradually break free from the existing Bretton Woods system, and to create parallel system that better serves their own interests. Logically, they have focused on the foundation blocks which support the current US-led system, that is, the institutions from which the United States derives its extraordinary power; the dollar, the US Treasury market, and the IMF. Replace these, the thinking goes, and the indispensable nation becomes just another country struggling to get by.”

Fighting the Russian and Chinese Community of Destiny: Did the US Try to Crash the China’s Market Because BRICS Launched the New Development Bank? – Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, Strategic-Culture.org – The BRICS has begun to institutionalize itself and move beyond the stage of being a coordinating forum for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. China’s New Silk Road has gained traction while the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) became a reality in January 2015. Plus, after fifteen years, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is expanding… Eurasia is integrating and forming the nucleus of an alternative and rival world order. This has the policymakers in the Washington Beltway worried. While the prevented Ukraine from joining the EEU, the US and its allies did everything to undermine and mock the EEU when it was launched by Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Despite this, even before the Eurasian Economic Union’s first birthday, the EEU has made headway. It has already started the process of establishing free trade zones with Vietnam, Egypt, India, Iran, and South America’s Southern Common Market (Mercosur / Mercosul). Mercosur consists of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.”

Gotcher_ColorAre Private Companies Color Coding Your House For Law Enforcement? – by Amanda Warren, ActivistPost.com – “The crux of the problem here is that we are accepting that we are constantly viewed as “threats.” How can we continue to pay for that behavior and rely on it for help from those who are trained to view us something that might warrant eradication? It’s a complete contradiction. Not always, but enough to warrant an activist database in order to keep track of citizen deaths at the hands of police… The information is all in the favor of law enforcement, companies that profit on Big Brother behavior and the federal government, but with no benefit at all to us. Since this is due to our own ignorance and detriment, maybe it really is time to get better connected with friends and community to call in case of an emergency. And perhaps it’s time to be really brave and reach out to law enforcement too.”

Tax grab ‘undermines Magna Carta’: New HMRC powers to raid accounts and ISAs ‘would cut out legal process’ – by Gerri Peev, DailyMail.co.uk – “A ‘hold notice’ will be issued to the individual but if they do not object in time, the Revenue then serves a deduction notice, forcing the bank to transfer the requested funds… Mr Hoare, a barrister at Field Court Chambers, argues that this treats individual property as the property of the state… He said: ‘The proposal itself is objectionable in principle. The greatest legacy of the Magna Carta is the principle that the executive is subject to the law as much as the people, and yet the direct recovery legislation places the Crown in a superior position to individuals and businesses in its rights to enforce debts.’ “

Cash_DyingCash is dying in the developing world – by Katie Collins, Wired.co.uk – “A lot of these two billion unbanked people have access to mobile phones, which are enabling people to access financial services for the first time. Even for people using a very basic feature phone, their mobile numbers becomes their bank account. In 2014 there were 103 million active mobile bank accounts, up from 30 million in 2012. ‘These are services that are truly transforming the economies of developing countries,’ says Ahmed. ‘These countries are becoming truly cashless.’..
M-Pesa in Kenya is the mobile banking service that everyone knows, but in fact these days there are 261 different services across the world and they enable in total around 480 million transactions per month.”

Putin-CoupRussian Politician Predicts U.S. Coup Ousting Putin Soon w/35min Video Interview – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “Evgeny Fedorov, a member of Russia’s Duma or parliament, is predicting, in a half-hour video interview, that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be overthrown by a U.S. coup, within two years. He says that U.S. Government agents have passed word to Russia’s oligarchs, that they will benefit from the end of U.S. sanctions, and that any oligarchs who cooperate will not only enjoy privileged positions in the successor government, but, that if the plan fails, then they will be guaranteed in the U.S. a position of wealth and power that will match or exceed what they currently enjoy under Putin.”

Revelation of the Method, Predictive Programming and the Prime Directive – by ZenGardner.com – “Let me just say that such a concept of some sort of galactic code defies free will and would ultimately “outlaw” any and all rogue elements, just as we see acting in wanton diabolical ways in front of our faces every day. It may apply to some more advanced civilizations in some form, but we’re sure not seeing it on this planet. But I digress… My point here has to do with our responsibility as a race to wake up and respond to what’s happening to us and not lay back and wait for some far away cavalry to arrive and save humanity. That ploy has been successfully used for eons by debilitating religions and belief systems and is largely responsible for the mess our planet is in today. With that way of thinking just about anything or anyone can waltz in strutting some super powers and pull a few magic tricks and voilá – the pre-programmed, debilitated masses will jump for it, as has happened throughout history and we’re apparently being set up for right now.”

Dr_SieversDead Doctors: Now 8 Dead And Disappeared – Are Medicine’s Finest Being Assassinated? The Shocking Links! – by Deborah Dupre and AllNewsPipeline.com – “Adding to mysterious deaths and disappearances of three American holistic anti-vaccine doctors in one state over the past two weeks plus three Mexican doctors and their two employees recently disappeared, supposedly found dead in the back of a pickup on June 19, are two more doctors missing, possibly disappeared in the US. Earlier this year, another holistic doctor met an untimely death after months of pleading for help as a self-identified Targeted Individual, as reported by Deborah Dupré. It has emerged that most of these had at least one common link.”

BluBama-eMedicine as propaganda: Obama pushes doctors to brainwash patients about global warming – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “Why else – with all that the president has to concern himself with – would he bother trying to convince your family doctor to teach you about so-called global warming, especially when it’s not even an established fact but just a theory which no one seems capable of accurately predicting or proving (that is, not without changing or altering climate data)?.. ‘We also need doctors, nurses and citizens, like all of you,’ President Obama said in a taped speech presented to medical professionals gathered at the White House, ‘to get to work to raise awareness and organize folks for real change.’.. ‘The central message: doctors should warn their patients that global warming could make their health worse,’ The Daily Caller reported, citing information presented at the recent summit.”

Senate to Vote on Requiring Social Media to Report Suspicious Activity to Feds – by Kristen Anderson, ActivistPost.com – ““If it becomes law, their natural tendency will be to err on the side of reporting anything that might be characterized as ‘terrorist activity’ even if it is not. And their duty to report will chill speech on the Internet that relates to terrorism.” says Gregory Nojeim of the Center for Democracy and Technology… Currently these sites remove questionable content as they are made aware of it. That means that if a user reports a post or a comment as a threat, Facebook, for example, investigates the report and then decides if they are going to remove it for breaking their terms of service, or if it can remain on the site. If YouTube users flag a video related to bomb making, YouTube may take it down. However, social media sites could soon be required to report these instances to Homeland Security and 17 other agencies. But the bill also requires social media to look for terrorist activity specifically. What does that mean exactly? Will they search for keywords? Will they monitor people who follow certain websites? Will they target people who speak certain languages or are located in specific areas of the world?”

Francis-Make_a_MessPope Calls on World Youth to Rise Up Against Global Capitalism – by Lauren McCauley, CommonDreams.org – ” ‘They wrote a speech for me to give you. But speeches are boring,’ Pope Francis said. ‘Make a mess, but then also help to tidy it up. A mess which gives us a free heart, a mess which gives us solidarity, a mess which gives us hope.’.. He also encouraged those present to look at their less fortunate peers, some of whom he met earlier in the day during a visit to the Banado Norte shantytown, and spoke of the connection between authentic liberty and responsibility and the necessity of fighting for the right to lead a dignified life… ‘We don’t want young weaklings. We do not want young people who tire quickly, who live life worn out with faces of boredom. We want youths with hope and strength,’ Francis told the crowd… Pope Francis’ South American visit comes just week after the release of his Papal Encyclical, which many hailed as a “radical statement,” in which he told leaders of the Catholic Church that there is a moral imperative for addressing climate change.” (emph. added)

What Assets Did Greece Just Hand Over To Europe: “Airports, Airplanes, Infrastructure And Most Certainly Banks” – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “What are these assets? For the answer we go to the horse’s mouth, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who laid out the holdings of the proposed Greek privatization that would be sold off as follows: ‘it still is going to be an independent fund, valued at €50 billion which can be airplanes, airports, infrastructure and most certainly banks.’.. Bloomberg quotes the Eurogroup finmin president: ● They will be brought in with the target to privatize those in the coming years, but we will take our time for that. ● We then hope for proceeds of EU50 billion, but that will be clear later. ● The banks first have to be refinanced from this aid program, but after that I take it that they’re worth money and then we can sell them. ● The proceedings are aimed at lowering Greece’s national debt… In other words, Greece will be liquidated piecemeal to repay creditors. In even other words, the proceeds from the Third Greek Bailout will not only not reach the Greek people, but Greece will have to sell itself in pieces to top off the creditors’ funding needs.”

Gilad_Atzmon-captionEnd The Jewish Occupation Of The Solidarity Movement – by Gilad Atzmon, GiladAtzmon.co.uk – “The Jewish campaign against Alison Weir is further proof that we cannot anymore trust any group that operates politically under a Jewish banner. In The Wandering Who, I explained that the Jewish left is not the solution, it is at the heart of the problem: while Jews identifying with the Torah can form a totally innocent category, and Jews who merely identify with their Jewish ancestry also represent an innocent mind set; Jews who identify politically as Jews, whether Zionist or ‘anti’ are uniquely problematic. We are dealing with a category of people who are primarily attached to their tribal interests. These people should be encouraged to form their political groups and cherish their cultural heritage but cannot anymore be dominating any universal call or campaign. For the simple reason that tribalism and universalism are like oil and water! They don’t mix at all.”

Obama just seized over one million acres of state land, claiming ownership by the federal government – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “As the White House gushed, so, too, did a number of environmental groups who, like this president, have no regard for private and state-owned property and the chance for economic development that such designations take away from ordinary citizens… This was no lost on U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, who derided Obama for showing ‘complete disdain for Congress and the people of Nevada, California and Texas.’.. In a statement of his own, Bishop said: ‘Following the example of Jimmy Carter, the Obama Administration is using and abusing the Antiquities Act as a political weapon. The worst part is that the act doesn’t guarantee public input. In fact, the vast majority of monuments that have been created through the Antiquities Act were created with no public input whatsoever. The people in the counties deserve the right to continue their work on locally-driven land initiatives without threats like these hanging over their heads.”

VA-Arrest-for-silenceCop Arrests Videographer for Filming Him and Not Talking – from SputnikNews.com – ” ‘Sir?,’ the officer continues. ‘Sir, what are you doing? Can I get your ID from you please? Are you unable to talk?’.. A moment later, the office says ‘Sir, I need your ID. If you do not provide me with your ID, you’re going to be placed under arrest.’.. From the moment the officer first spoke to the man until the time he threatened to arrest him, only about 35 seconds had passed – during which the man filming the encounter didn’t say one word… When the officer calls for backup, the man filming the video remains silent as he turns and calmly walks down the street. After walking a short distance, the officer confronts the man, saying ‘Sir, you need to stop; you need to stop and provide your ID.’ “

Paul_Mason The end of capitalism has begun – “Without us noticing, we are entering the postcapitalist era. At the heart of further change to come is information technology, new ways of working and the sharing economy. The old ways will take a long while to disappear, but it’s time to be utopian” – by Paul Mason, TheGuardian.com – “Postcapitalism is possible because of three major changes information technology has brought about in the past 25 years. First, it has reduced the need for work, blurred the edges between work and free time and loosened the relationship between work and wages. The coming wave of automation, currently stalled because our social infrastructure cannot bear the consequences, will hugely diminish the amount of work needed – not just to subsist but to provide a decent life for all… Second, information is corroding the market’s ability to form prices correctly. That is because markets are based on scarcity while information is abundant. The system’s defence mechanism is to form monopolies – the giant tech companies – on a scale not seen in the past 200 years, yet they cannot last. By building business models and share valuations based on the capture and privatisation of all socially produced information, such firms are constructing a fragile corporate edifice at odds with the most basic need of humanity, which is to use ideas freely.” – Note: Very hard to know what Mason is driving at with this article. It seems significant because the Guardian showcased in their OpEd section. It does state some true-but-marginalized observations, yet doesn’t touch on how “we” can work to arrive at “Postcapitalism.”

No_RespiratorsMonsanto Invests Billions In New Carcinogenic Herbicide To Replace RoundUp – from HealthFreedoms.org – “According to multiple reports, Monsanto was well aware that (Glyphosate) caused cancer for decades yet still continued to sell it… As we have been reporting over the past several months, glyphosate is now even banned in many areas as a result of these studies… According to Reuters, Monsanto is now dumping more than a billion dollars into a production facility that will distribute dicamba, the new chemical that will likely be replacing glyphosate… ‘Over the next decade … this holds the potential to further diversify our ag productivity segment and provide a source of growth longer term,’ Monsanto President Brett Begemann said in a statement… However, studies have indicated that exposure to dicamba increases the probability of lung and colon cancer.”

My Independence Day Open Letter to Government – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “So on this Independence Day please stop what you are doing and think. With the uncertainties we all face it’s good to remember why we do what we do. I still live in America because I believe in freedom. I understand the principles America was founded on and I believe these are principles that help humanity thrive. I still believe we have every reason to fight for and stand for these principles… Think about those before you who have given their lives or their freedom for the sake of freedom. Many within government itself have died or been imprisoned fighting for what they believed was the right thing to do and we should remember these people and be inspired by them… If, however, you feel that your only purpose on earth is to obey government and help government carry out tyranny and control, then realize you are on the wrong side of history. You have today to think about the topic. Think about freedom and what it can do for you. Do you think you can do that for one day?”

Malik_MitchellMedical Kidnapping in Chicago: DCFS Does Not Want You to Know What They are Doing to 3 Year Old Malik – from HealthImpactNews.com – “On May 13, Lakisha learned that she had been given a gag order by the court, and she was forbidden to speak her own grandchild’s name to the media or to discuss his case… Lakisha’s words to the public were as follows: ‘As of Wednesday 05.13.15 I have been given a court order that prohibits me from any further media interaction, interviews, photographers or any other postings regarding my child or the case none whatsoever, not even use of his name. I was told it was already effective as of 03.12.2015 I just wasn’t made aware of this. I was told this violates DCFS policy considering they have temporary custody of him. States they are his guardian & I do not have a right to do this.’.. Recently, Lakisha was allegedly compelled by the Cook County Juvenile Court to write to Health Impact News to request that we remove all references to Malik Mitchell from our website, including photos, his full name, address, and birthdate… Health Impact News, of course, will not comply with this request. We will not take down our coverage of this case, or other cases. Several Constitutional attorneys across the nation have spoken out against these gag orders issued by judges in Family or Juvenile courts in various states, calling them unconstitutional, and we have been encouraged to continue publishing these stories… It should be noted that in this case concerning 3 year old Malik, that neither the birth parents nor the grandparents who had legal custody, have been arrested or convicted of any crimes. Therefore, in this case, like many others we publish, we consider this State-sponsored kidnapping.”

GEORGE SOROS THREATENS RUSSIA & CHINA WITH WORLD WAR III – by Mike King, TomatoBubble.com – “The initial comments from “Don” Soros came during a conference at the World Bank… While Soros does not believe China would go directly after the United States, he claims that it’s possible the Chinese could come into conflict with a country (a puppet provocateur) that is allied with America: ‘If there is conflict between China and a military ally of the United States, like Japan, then it is not an exaggeration to say that we are on the threshold of a third world war.’.. Translation: ‘Hey China, you’re gonna have problems with one of our military allies – maybe Japan, or perhaps Vietnam. My client (Rothschild) could make them disappear.’.. Soros then offers a way out for China (what a friend!). He would allow the Chinese currency, the yuan, to join the International Monetary Fund. That would allow the yuan to compete with the U.S. dollar as a potential global reserve currency. In return, the United States should require China to enact economic reforms. According to MarketWatch, Soros says that without such an agreement: ‘there is a real danger that China will align itself with Russia politically and militarily, and then the threat of third world war becomes real, so it is worth trying.’

Governor_MoonbeamGovernor Jerry Brown BETRAYS California Residents, Ignores Geoengineering Causes Of Historic California Drought – from StateOfTheNation2012.com – “Jerry Brown has been governor of California since January of 2011, precisely when the drought began. Quite curiously, he has taken up many other political issues with the fervor that many think he should have directed toward addressing the drought. Instead, year after year has gone by with nary a peep from Sacramento – until 2015… Governor Brown has also received satellite imagery evidence conclusively documenting the role that HAARP technology has played in geoengineering the California drought.[1] Satellite images do not lie, and leave very little room for misinterpretation for those experienced meteorologists who know how to read them. The Brown executive team has received this irrefutable scientific evidence and more. Nevertheless, they have refused to address it in any official manner, and have chosen to ignore it after deliberate consideration… How does a state government properly function in a state where the weather is now completely unpredictable, except for those who really do control the weather? Does the governor even consult with his chosen meteorologists during the ever-occurring disastrous weather events? Does he ever convene his panel of climate experts to discuss the reasons for the new climatological trends criss-crossing the state?.. Therefore, it is highly advisable that a rigorous candidate search begin in earnest. Governor Brown must be removed from office with all deliberate speed before the state of California completely crashes and burns.”

Mandatory vaccination: California is ordering genetic alteration – by Jon Rappoport, JonRappoport.wordpress.com – ” ‘The first human trial based on this strategy — called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. — is underway, and several new ones are planned.’.. ‘I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle.’.. Here is the punchline: ‘The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies.’ ”

Putin-n-bin-SalmanIs Saudi-Russian oil alliance in the making?– from PressTV.ir – “Some experts are inclined to read much into the unusually high-level delegation from a country which has long been an ally and protectorate of the US… The visit came at a time when relations between Russia and the West, including the United States, are at the lowest ebb in recent years… The Saudi deputy crown prince, whose country is the biggest OPEC oil producer, traveled to attend St. Petersburg Economic Forum sponsored by a country which is a non-OPEC member and a potential rival… Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said cooperation with Russia ‘will lead to creating a petroleum alliance between the two countries for the benefit of the international oil market’.”

Saudi fighter jets continue bombing areas in Yemen, scores die – from PressTV.ir – “According to media outlets on Sunday, at least 43 people were killed and 70 others were injured in the Saudi air raids on a market in the northwestern province of Hajjah on Saturday night… Separately, Saudi warplanes bombed a munitions factory in the district of Saqayn in the Yemeni province of Sa’ada on Saturday, killing at least 23 people. They also targeted the area of Haydhan in the province, killing a woman and a child. A mosque was also bombed in Sa’ada… Meanwhile, UN agencies have reported a dire humanitarian situation in Yemen… (UN Spokesperson) Edwards said that there are more than 21 million people in need throughout Yemen, adding that there are also over one million internally displaced people in the country.”

Ratko_Mlodic-SrebrenicaUS, UK, France behind 1995 massacre of Bosnia Muslims: Report – from PressTV.ir – “According to declassified US cables, cited in a Saturday report by the UK-based daily The Guardian, details of the killings reached Western intelligence agencies and decision-makers soon after the carnage began on July 13, 1995… “CIA operatives watched almost ‘live’ at a satellite post in Vienna. From that day, spy planes caught what was happening. Standing men held by armed guards. Later pictures showed them lying in the fields, dead,” added the report, quoting one of the cables… The report quoted a senior US State Department official as saying that “all US partners were immediately informed,” but the slaughter went on with no attempts to deter the killers, or to locate the victims… All the decisions adopted by Western leaders prior to the massacre came with the clear knowledge that Serb leaders had pledged to uproot Muslims even if there was ‘blood up to their knees.’ ”

MH17 – The Methodology of an International Cover-Up – by Christof Lehmann, nsnbc.me – “Everything, including law, suggests that all parties are interested in denying investigative journalists access to verifiable, testable evidence… Numerous journalists, the author included, have made considerable efforts to elicit independently verifiable evidence from all of the involved parties. This includes mails and phone calls to relevant ministries in Ukraine, the USA, UK, Russia, Australia, Malaysia, and the Dutch Safety Board in The Netherlands… All requests to provide independently verifiable data have remained unanswered. That includes requests for a certified copy of radar data released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, certified copies of communications between Ukrainian Air Traffic Controllers and the flight crew on board the downed Boeing 777-200, and not least a certified copy of the Comma Separated Variable (CSV) file from the downed Boeing 777-200’s flight data recorder.”

Tel_Aviv-Gas_ProtestHundreds in new Tel Aviv protest over US-Israeli natural gas deal – from RT.com – “America’s Noble Energy and Israel’s Delek Group, in the event of the deal, will get access to the Tamar and Levianthan offshore sites – something the people say is tantamount to “robbery,” The Times of Israel reported… The pair also wants access to two smaller, recently-discovered reserves… Last year, the two were branded a de facto monopoly by Israel’s Antitrust Commissioner David Gilo, who has since resigned over the issue… Critics of the deal argue that, once approved, the deal could establish a monopoly over natural gas without any sufficient oversight and would result in increased prices for Israeli consumers… The situation started with the energy companies finding an exorbitant amount of natural gas and beginning to invest hugely into developing the offshore reserves. But Israel then quickly backtracked and started setting up committees to monitor the profits and setting up additional hoops for the companies to jump through. ”

The CIA: long-range planning for a drugged and debilitated society – by Theodore, NoMoreFakeNews.com – “If you examine the full range of psychiatric drugs developed since 1955, you’ll see that a number of them fit the CIA’s agenda. Speed-type chemicals, which addle the brain over the long term, to treat so-called ADHD. Anti-psychotic drugs, to render patients more and more dependent on others (and government) as they sink into profound disability and incur motor brain damage. And of course, the SSRI antidepressants, like Prozac and Paxil and Zoloft, which produce extreme and debilitating highs and lows—and also push people over the edge into committing violence… These drugs drag the whole society down into lower and lower levels of consciousness and action.”

Brz-They_LiveTechnocratic Elite Domination via Mind Control and Mass Surveillance: Brzezinski Called It 45 Years Ago (w/video) – by Melissa Dykes – (Catherine Austin) Fitts said she was so frightened by hearing a conversation she was never authorized to hear, that she threw out her TV for good. She further warns that the television is not the only media device that uses these techniques – and by now, surely more advanced techniques – to persuade consumers, quell opposition and encourage the status quo. Other media devices are also “compromised,” Fitts says, so users should be aware of its affects on cell phones, radios, the Internet… What do those advanced techniques look like today? This doesn’t even consider, say, extremely low frequency wave weapons whose study began under the CIA’s project MKUltra and have no doubt transcended into something nightmarish in modern times. This is before we get to issue of targeted individuals or whether or not we are literally living in the movie They Live.

Nuclear Chemist Publishes Paper Detailing: “Aluminum Poisoning of Humanity via Geoengineering” – by Arjun Walia, HumansAreFree.com – “Dr. Marvin Herndon, PhD., a nuclear chemist, geochemist, and cosmochemist – most noted for deducing the composition of the inner core of Earth as being nickel silicide, not partially crystallized nickel-iron metal – has published a groundbreaking paper in the peer-reviewed journal Current Science (Indian Academy of Sciences) titled ‘Aluminum poisoning of humanity and Earth’s biota by clandestine geoengineering activity: implications for India.’.. The paper goes on to discuss and cite publications which have detected heavy metals like aluminum, barium, strontium, and more in rainwater, fly ash, and more. For example, during the period between July 2011 and November 2012, 73 rainwater samples were collected and analysed for aluminum and barium; 71 were collected from 60 different locations in Germany, 1 from France, and 1 from Austria… Aluminum was detected in 77% of the rainwater samples, there was also a very high barium concentration and a very high Strontium concentration… It also discusses how these concentrations of metals are not the result of natural phenomenon, like volcanic explosions, for example.”

Eurozone-Yields-7-7-15First Was A Head Fake—–Next Comes Einen Shitschturm – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “So put an honest interest rate—–say 6% on a country that has been a chronic deadbeat for two centuries——-on its current $350 billion of fiscal debt and the pro forma interest computation rounds out to 10% of GDP. It is doubtful that even Art Laffer would claim Greece could grow out from under that kind of financial albatross… So the real red line is very simple. Above all else, 61% of the Greek public voted for relief from the onerous debt that has been imposed upon them by the troika and faithless Greek politicians in Athens. If they don’t get an outright haircut in excess of $100 billion, Greek democracy will remain permanently indentured to its troika paymasters… Yet is there an iota of chance that the other 18 Eurozone nations plus the IMF will agree to a meaningful and honest “haircut” during the next 48 hours that Angela Merkel has allotted for reaching a new deal or a Grexit? Well, for starters, her iron-fisted finance minister has just averred that a discount on the EFSF debt is actually “prohibited” by the EU treaties… End of discussion.”

Marijuana Legalization 2015: PTSD And Cannabis — Can Researchers Cut Through The Politics To Find Out Whether Weed Works? – by Joel Warner, IBTimes.com – “Eventually, a friend suggested he try smoking marijuana before bed, instead of washing down his pain pills with a six pack of beer. The relief, says Stiegelman, was immediate. ‘The rage wasn’t there anymore,’ he says. ‘It helped with the stabbing pains and relaxed my back spasms, and it helped me think clearly and stay in tune with my body.’ But when his doctors learned he was using marijuana, Stiegelman says they cut him off from the pharmaceuticals he’d been prescribed, causing him to buy pain meds on the black market for years until he kicked the habit. ‘They told me I was violating my narcotics contract, so they had the right to remove me from all of my narcotics,’ he says. ‘The VA would give me six medications in three bags, but because I took medical marijuana to stop some of the effects of the other medications, they said I was a drug addict.’ ”

Jim_Marrs-Pop_ControlNew book ‘Population Control’ by Jim Marrs exposes the real story behind four prominent doctors linked to the autism debate – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “The phenomenal new book explores how the G.O.D. syndicate — the “global monopoly of Guns, Oil, and Drugs” — is destroying America. I haven’t yet read the book, but knowing that it comes from Jim Marrs is all I need to know. Marrs is one of the last remaining true investigative journalists in America today. He’s fearless, thorough and highly intelligent. He brings to his writings a vast knowledge of history, true conspiracies, corruption and collusion throughout government and industry… Nobody on the planet can put together a book like Jim Marrs. That’s why we’re honored to run an excerpt from his book (below).”

US Preparing Coup to Prevent Greece from Falling Under Russian Influence – by Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com – “Nuland and the United States may be working closely with Greek military to foment a coup following the historic “No” vote in a referendum of the demands of the banksters… She is notorious for her role in the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine and it now appears she has been assigned for a repeat in Greece. Helmer writes that when Nuland: ‘…visited Athens to issue an ultimatum against breaking the anti-Russian sanctions regime, and the Anglo-American think-tanks followed with warnings the Russian Navy is about to sail into Piraeus, the object of the game [became] clear. The line for Operation Nemesis has been that Greece must be saved, not from itself or from its creditors, but from the enemy in Moscow.’.. Russia is reportedly prepared to help Greece as it battles the banksters on Wall Street and Brussels. It is believed a Greek exit from the eurozone will move the country closer to Russia and deepen divisions within NATO.”

Poroshenko-Weapons-from-AbuDhabbiNATO Finds Arab Backdoor to Arm Kiev – by Finian Cunningham, InformationClearingHouse.info – “The Kiev regime’s new contract with the UAE for military weapons supply is thus a front for NATO supplying weapons to Ukraine. Conveniently for Western governments, the arrangement tends to obscure a NATO link in the eyes of their public, but only superficially… That bodes badly for the shaky ceasefire that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin helped broker earlier this month. Putin has already deprecated the continuing hostile attitude of Poroshenko and other Kiev leaders, who routinely accuse Russia of aggression and talk with bravado of fighting a «total war». Washington and the EU are indulging this inflammatory rhetoric with renewed sanctions on Moscow and laying the blame for the conflict on Russia… While Western taxpayers bail out the Kiev regime with a $40 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, the junta is evidently using the money to go on a weapons spree and to crank up its NATO-supplied war machine. The UAE weapons sales deal is just a backdoor for NATO to embark on further warmongering in Ukraine and toward Russia.”

Wave of homeschooling sweeps California: Public schools poison minds of children while SB 277 poisons their bodies – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “Prior to the bill’s passage, a number of California parents vowed to pull their children out of school if it was enacted. Dr. Robert Sears, a pediatrician from Capistrano Beach, told The Orange County Register following SB 277’s signing into law by Gov. Brown that he expects a huge exodus from the conventional education system as parents opposed to vaccines seek greener pastures… ‘[We] will see a big shift in children leaving schools for homeschooling,’ stated Dr. Sears to the Register. ‘And families will group together in co-ops to educate their kids.’.. As an added benefit, these same children will avoid being brainwashed in California public schools, which the San Jose Mercury News reported back in 2013 rank the third-worst in the nation for both math and reading.”

Viral_particlesHerd Immunity vs. Viral Shedding: Who’s Infecting Whom? – by Makia Freeman, FreedomArticles.ToolsForFreedom.com – “Remember, in addition to containing viruses that can shed, vaccines are full of toxic adjuvants (including aborted fetal tissue) which are provably carcinogenic (like the cancer-causing monkey virus SV-40) or at the very least highly harmful. We know the “scientific evidence” has being infiltrated by industry-funded studies and that the peer-review process has been hijacked… A vaccine’s ability to lead to viral shedding, group infection, genetic mutation of you and genetic mutation of your future offspring turns the false idea of vaccine-induced herd immunity on its head. The question was asked: who is infecting whom? The evidence would strongly suggest that it is the vaccines and the vaccinated who are causing the problem and spreading the disease.”

Government thugs arrest, strip-search innocent parents because son played basketball in backyard for 90 minutes – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “In court, the 11-year-old spoke up to the judge, pleading to come home… According to the mother, ‘He [her son] went back there and spoke to the judge for about ten minutes. And then the judge came out and called the two lawyers to the bench and talked to them for about 10 or 15 minutes. And with that, our lawyer came to us and said that if we admitted that we didn’t know that it was wrong [for our son] to stay in the backyard, but that we know now that it’s wrong and we will never let it happen again, and that we will explain this to our son, he would let the children come with us.’.. At the end of their wits, the parents decided to comply with the judge’s orders, and the case was closed.” (emph. added) – Please, sir, may I have another?

Michael_Snyder10 Very Strange Things That Have Happened In Just The Past Few Weeks – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com, “After several years of relative calm, could it be possible that the second half of 2015 will usher in a time of chaos and confusion on a worldwide scale? Personally, I have never been more concerned about a period of time as I am about the last six months of 2015. And if I am right, what we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. The following are 10 very strange things that have happened in just the past few weeks…”

Study shows vaccines harm underweight newborns; researchers conclusively deny their own science – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “”Immunization of extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with adverse events, including fever and apnea or bradycardia, in the immediate postimmunization period,” wrote the authors. ‘These adverse events present a diagnostic dilemma for physicians, leading to the potential for immunization delay and sepsis evaluations.’.. One might assume that such findings would prompt the medical community to take a closer look at vaccine safety, particularly in babies who are born at less than one-third the average birth weight. But why would they when science itself isn’t even honest about the repercussions of vaccination, denying that it comes with any risks at all?.. After admitting that vaccinating ELBW babies increases the risk of seizures, sepsis and death, this is what the authors of the JAMA Pediatrics had to say in conclusion: ‘Our findings provide no evidence to suggest that physicians should not use combination vaccines in ELBW infants.’ ”

Irregular heartbeat of the Sun driven by double dynamo – by Dr. Robert Massey – Phys.org – “It is 172 years since a scientist first spotted that the Sun’s activity varies over a cycle lasting around 10 to 12 years. But every cycle is a little different and none of the models of causes to date have fully explained fluctuations. Many solar physicists have put the cause of the solar cycle down to a dynamo caused by convecting fluid deep within the Sun. Now, Zharkova and her colleagues have found that adding a second dynamo, close to the surface, completes the picture with surprising accuracy… ‘We found magnetic wave components appearing in pairs, originating in two different layers in the Sun’s interior. They both have a frequency of approximately 11 years, although this frequency is slightly different, and they are offset in time. Over the cycle, the waves fluctuate between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun. Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97%,’ said Zharkova… Looking ahead to the next solar cycles, the model predicts that the pair of waves become increasingly offset during Cycle 25, which peaks in 2022. During Cycle 26, which covers the decade from 2030-2040, the two waves will become exactly out of synch and this will cause a significant reduction in solar activity.(emph. added)

Americans With Retirement Accounts Beware: If Our Government Does What China Just Did You’ll Be Wiped Out – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “The pension selling ban comes just days after China moved to curtail margin calls in a similarly ridiculous attempt to stop the bleeding by simply making selling against the rules… The Chinese economy is heavily intertwined with the U.S. economy. While no evidence of such exists, we’ll suggest that not only was the U.S. government aware of what the Chinese were about to do, but they likely advised them to do so in the name of saving the global economy… If you are a pensioner or have a retirement account in the United States, then this should be a huge wake up call… When it hits the fan – and it will – the government will stop at nothing to ensure its survival and the survival of the mega-banks with which it conglomerates.”

Malaysian_Slave_CampObama Administration Makes Malaysia Slavery Problem For TPP Disappear – by Dave Johnson, OpEdNews.com – “According to news reports, the Obama administration found an easy — and extremely cynical — fix: just change Malaysia’s rating to a “tier 2.” Problem solved. But human rights groups, labor and members of Congress are “outraged,” “shocked” and “deeply disturbed.” They are trying to warn the State Department off from doing this… One of the sticking points with TPP has been Malaysia’s ‘widespread forced labor and worker abuse.’ The State Department’s Trafficking In Persons (TIP) Report was supposed to be released in June but was delayed. Now it appears the Obama administration might be solving the problem by changing the TIP rating of Malaysia to a “Tier 2” even though there is little change in Malaysia’s actual performance… Human trafficking? Slavery? Sex slaves? People kept in cages? Mass graves? Abuse of workers? No problem. Just tell the State Department to ignore it. If this happens the Obama administration will undermine the integrity of our country’s human rights efforts to increase the profit and power of a few giant multinational corporations.”

The Secrecy of Torture: What Happens When Survivors’ Memories Are “Declassified”? – by Adam Hudson, InformationClearingHouse.info – “After 9/11, Jessen and Mitchell were contracted by the CIA to develop an interrogation program, and the two psychologists reverse-engineered SERE techniques into torture tactics used by the CIA.. One person who knows Jessen and Mitchell is Capt. Michael Kearns, a retired US Air Force intelligence officer who also taught SERE, and he is appalled at his former colleagues’ use of the program in developing the CIA torture techniques. Kearns told Truthout, ‘SERE is a program for teaching survival and should never allow … ‘gross uncorrected failure,’ while Dr Bruce Jessen’s ‘Exploitation Plan’ (which has yet to be declassified) was exactly the opposite – exploitation at its worst.’.. Meanwhile, the architects of the program stood to gain significantly by its implementation. ‘Worst of all,’ Kearns said, ‘Mitchell, Jessen and Associates profited handsomely in this brutality.’ In March 2005, during their contract with the CIA, Jessen and Mitchell formed a consulting firm called Mitchell, Jessen & Associates. The CIA paid the company $81 million for its services. That does not include the money the CIA gave Jessen and Mitchell for their torture expertise before they formed the company and were paid a daily rate.”

Gadsden-ConfederateHate Crime? Professor calls for arresting Americans who display Confederate flag – by Alex Thomas, Intellihub.com – “In a piece published by the clickbait rag Salon.com, Nick Bromell, a professor of American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, calls for a new law that would classify displaying the Confederate flag a hate crime… ‘It is a fine thing that the Confederate flag will no longer fly above the South Carolina state capitol,’ wrote Bromell. ‘But displaying the Confederate flag anywhere is, at bottom, an act of hate. It should be recognized as such, and punished as a hate crime.’.. That’s right, the new “free and equal” America imagined by the left will apparently include citizens being sent to jail for displaying a piece of history.”

The Great Unbinding Part 1 – by Derryl Hermanutz, OpEdNews.com – “Banks issue money as linked pairs of positive and negative numbers: money and debt. Some people end up owning all the money; other people and their governments end up owing all the debt. The low priests of the marketplace blame moral sinners for their debts. But within this credit/debt monopoly money system that creates money and debt as “linked pairs”: without the debts of sinners, there would be no money for winners… Winners use their bank-created money to buy the world from the debt-bound sinners who built up the physical industrial infrastructure of the world with their genius and their sweat. The proceeds from sale of the world to winners is not enough to pay off the sinners’ debts, so they remain in eternal debt bondage to the winners… Ok, not “eternal”. Debtors don’t owe their soul to the company bank. Tennessee Ernie Ford and the fictional Dr. Faust notwithstanding, souls are not mortgagable assets. Death will free debtors from their chains. But their children still “owe” their debts. And then their children. Until the end of the world. Or the end of banksterism. Whichever comes first.”

The New Siege of Crimea – by Thomas de Waal, NationalInterest.org – “The influx of cash has had some impact. Russian authorities say they have brought pensions and government salaries in Crimea up to the Russian average (appreciably higher than in Ukraine). But they cannot compensate for a steep drop in tourism since the annexation or for huge logistical problems in supplying Crimea with the essential goods it needs… The economic siege looks likely to make the plight of Crimeans more miserable. The danger for the Kyiv government and its Western friends is that it may also make them more hostile to Ukraine and dependent on Russia. A point will have been proved, but Crimea may be lost.”

Portugal’s Experiment in Drug Decriminalization Has Been a Success – by Mark Thornton, WakingTimes.com – “Decriminalization is just one baby step away from the war on drugs, and drug smugglers and dealers are still sought out and punished. Individuals are only permitted to possess very small amounts of illegal drugs without being punished as a dealer. Under current laws, you can still be arrested and sent to counselors, but you do not face imprisonment unless you are an uncooperative multiple offender… While certainly not ideal, decriminalization has straightforward benefits over complete prohibition. First, otherwise law-abiding citizens will not be criminalized for possessing illegal drugs. Second, drug addicts will be more likely to seek professional help when government treats addiction as a medical rather than criminal problem. Third, the police will have more resources to address real crimes and possibly to provide subsidies for drug treatment programs…”

Pope-PropagandaRelease of encyclical reveals pope’s deep dive into climate science – by Anthony Faiola, Michelle Boorstein and Chris Mooney, WashingtonPost.com – “A highly accurate draft, which leaked Monday in the Italian press, had already begun dividing politicians and theologians. As the Vatican rolled out the official version to scenes of Francis on a big screen planting a tree, the debate over the proper role of a pope — one that was already popping up on the presidential campaign trail in the United States — immediately intensified. Environmental activists, meanwhile, widely cheered the rise of an unlikely ally in the fight against climate change, one whose voice could resonate not only in major global conferences but also in prayer groups and church pews.” – Note: Just warms the cockles of your heart, don’t it

How climate-change doubters lost a papal fight – by Anthony Faiola, Michelle Boorstein and Chris Mooney, WashingtonPost.com – “A French doubter who authored a book arguing that solar activity — not greenhouse gases — was driving global warming, de Larminat sought a spot at a climate summit in April sponsored by the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Nobel laureates would be there. So would U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs and others calling for dramatic steps to curb carbon emissions… Beisner said he thinks that “between a quarter and a third” of the signers were Catholic. He said he is not totally unhappy with the pope’s encyclical — he appreciates the sections on the need to help the poor and “the sanctity of human life.” But as for the climate section, he said, Francis is ‘writing in an area that is not his own background, and it looks to me as if he was poorly served by his adviser.’ ” (emph. added)

Ellen_Brown-w-glasses“Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards”: The Alice in Wonderland World of Fast-tracked Secret Trade Agreements – by Ellen Brown, EllenBrown.com – “The TPP, TiSA and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (or TTIP, which covers Europe) will collectively encompass three-fourths of the world’s GDP; and they ultimately seek to encompass nearly 90 percent of GDP. Despite this enormous global impact, fast-track authority would allow the President to sign the deals before their terms have been made public, and send implementing legislation to Congress that cannot be amended or filibustered and is not subject to the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds treaty vote.”

Meet the outsider who accidentally solved chronic homelessness – by Terrence McCoy, WashingtonPost.com – “Meet Sam Tsemberis. According to academics and advocates, he’s all but solved chronic homelessness. His research, which commands the support of most scholars, has inspired policies across the nation, as well as in the District. The results have been staggering. Late last month, Utah, the latest laboratory for Tsemberis’s’s models, reported it has nearly eradicated chronic homelessness. Phoenix, an earlier test case, eliminated chronic homelessness among veterans. Then New Orleans housed every homeless veteran… He pauses for a moment, eyes flashing…’“See that sign over there? It says, “Now Leasing.” That’s what we look for.’.. It’s that simple, he said. Give homes for the homeless, and you will solve chronic homelessness.”

Jerry_Brown-MouthpieceJerry Brown Worries About ‘Overpopulation’ Amid California Drought – by Michael Bastasch – DailyCaller.com – “Brown made the comments before the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Board and also warned that global warming was exacerbating California’s drought… Water restrictions have even touched California’s agriculture industry, which is expected to shed 18,000 farm jobs this season, equalling about $1.2 billion in lost wages. But even as thousands of farm hands could lose their jobs, California officials are still flushing millions of acre feet of water every year to protect the endangered Delta Smelt fish.”

Vatican speaker and California Governor in push for massive depopulation… talk of ‘Planetary Court’ and removal of 6 billion people under new ‘Earth Constitution’ and ‘World Government’ – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “But this time, the depopulation agenda may be codified by the Vatican. Professor John Schellnhuber has been chosen as a speaker for the Vatican’s rolling out of a Papal document on climate change. He’s the professor who previously said the planet is overpopulated by at least six billion people. Now, the Vatican is giving him a platform which many expect will result in an official Church declaration in support of radical depopulation in the name of “climate science.”.. Interestingly, California Governor Jerry Brown might welcome such a depopulation agenda organized under a new world government. He recently tweeted about California having too many people, saying, ‘At some point, how many people can we accommodate?’ “

The Political Agenda Behind Alien Disclosure (w/hilarious and informative video) – by Aaron & Melissa Dykes, ActivistPost.com – “Instead we’ll get drip-fed a bunch of government lies, illusions, distortions, and half-truths as preprogramming for a sinister agenda. The real truth certainly isn’t going to come in the form of the Clintons (“I want the public to see my emails!”) and Bill’s bad jokes about “investigating” Area 51, Roswell, and other government black sites. While the probability of life on other planets is surely compelling, we’re not going to find the truth through gatekeepers in establishment positions of power, be that in government, Hollywood, or via elitist billionaires who have documented ulterior motives.”

Israel-Palestine1Israel’s “Right to Defend”: By Definition, An Aggressor Cannot Act in Defense – by Robert Barsocchini, GlobalResearch.ca – “Naturally, this is what Israel, the US, and all corrupt, nasty power-centers do. Erakat explains how Israel plays these games with International Law: ‘[Israel tries to get around International Law by saying it does] not occupy [the Palestinian territories] within the meaning of international law. The UN Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the UN General Assembly, as well as the Israeli High Court of Justice have roundly rejected the Israeli government’s position.’ “

Signs Of Financial Turmoil In Europe, China And The United States – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog – “What this means is that big trouble is brewing in the bond markets. This is something that I warned about in my previous article entitled “Experts Are Warning That The 76 Trillion Dollar Global Bond Bubble Is About To Explode“… For the moment, U.S. stocks are doing fine. But just about everyone can see that we in a massive financial bubble that could burst at any time. Presidential candidate Donald Trump says that what we are witnessing is a “big fat economic and financial bubble like you’ve never seen before”…”

Europe turning against vaccines – by Lawrence Solomon, “As evidence for its claim, the article cites the French National Institute for Prevention and Health Education, which found that “distrust of vaccination has risen from 10% in 2005 to 40% in 2010,” as well as pointing to a major conference held in Italy last year, The State of Health of Vaccination in the EU. The conference, designed to counter the growing opposition among Europeans to vaccinations, featured numerous speakers concerned about the low levels of vaccination throughout the continent.”

Neural_DustNanoparticles Enable Remote Control Brains Via Magnetic Field: New Study – by Nicholas West, GlobalResearch.ca – “The brain system was labeled “Neural Dust” and was intended to “monitor the brain from the inside.” Inventors speculated that a network of nanoparticles injected into the brain could measure electrical activity in neurons, then use ultrasound to form a two-way transfer of data. This theoretically would lead to the reading, generation, or alteration of information – i.e., mind control. Most disturbingly, at the time, is that their theories had entered the testing phase and showed some success, albeit on a beetle.”

How the Sun Affects Our Minds – by Lynne McTaggart, WarIsCrime.com – “As a consequence Chizhevsky fell out of favor for years among the scientific establishment, despite the patronage of the Nobel Prize winner, author, and political activist Maxim Gorky. Nevertheless Chizhevsky, a scientific da Vinci of sorts, stubbornly carried on with his research, attempting to make connections between biology, physics, geology, and space weather that remained invisible to most of his peers. He painstakingly examined records of all battles, upheavals, riots, revolutions, and wars, comparing them with sunspot activity for nearly two thousand years in seventy-one countries, including his own. The theory checked out: more than three-quarters of all instances of human unrest, including the Russian Revolution of 1917, had occurred during a solar maximum, the period of the maximum number of sunspots in any solar cycle. The only area that remained questionable was the mechanism of this cosmic connection, but Chizhevsky had a theory: our dependence upon the cosmic pulse of the sun might be mediated by ions, or excess charge, in the air.”

Whooping_coughWhooping cough cases rise in U.S thanks to failed vaccine science – by David Gutierrez, NaturalNews.com – “The reason that cases of whooping cough have been on the rise in the United States is due not to fewer people vaccinating their children but to a decreased effectiveness of the vaccine itself, according to a study conducted by researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology on April 23… In recent years, health experts have raised concerns that pertussis cases are on the rise. Between 1965 and 2002, there were an average of about 10,000 cases per year in the United States. In recent years, that number has risen to about 29,000 per year, with a high of 48,000 in 2012… In the new study, the researchers applied mathematical models to a massive data set containing information on U.S. pertussis cases between 1950 and 2009 to test the various hypotheses posed to explain rising disease rates. The explanations tested included lower vaccination rates, improved diagnosis (either through increased awareness or more accurate diagnostic tests), and a change in the vaccine formula that took place in 1991.”

Ashton_Carter-bellicoseUS officials consider nuclear strikes against Russia – by Niles Williamson, WSWS.org – “Most provocatively, a report published by the Associated Press yesterday reports that the Pentagon has been actively considering the use of nuclear missiles against military targets inside Russia, in response to what it alleges are violations of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty. Russia denies US claims that it has violated the INF by flight-testing ground-launched cruise missiles with a prohibited range… Three options being considered by the Pentagon are the placement of anti-missile defenses in Europe aimed at shooting Russian missiles out of the sky; a “counterforce” option that would involve pre-emptive non-nuclear strikes on Russia military sites; and finally, “countervailing strike capabilities,” involving the pre-emptive deployment of nuclear missiles against targets inside Russia.”

US-Saudi- Israeli “Axis of Evil” Against Yemen, Carefully Planned Military Undertaking – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Israel is very much involved. In late April, Fars News reported its submarines and warplanes “readily observed” near Saudi Arabia’s coastline since conflict began – according to unnamed foreign diplomats… They said Riyadh secretly agreed decades ago to give Israeli submarines and warplanes access to Saudi waters… They’ve been patrolling them since the start of conflict. According to Fars News, ‘(m)any regional officials…earlier revealed collaboration among the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia in the aggression against Yemen.’.. Weeks earlier, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan said Washington and Israel are the main sponsors of aggression on Yemen… Days after Saudi terror-bombing began, Fars News said Israeli warplanes participated in attacking Yemeni targets… Yemeni Al-Haq political party secretary general Hassan Zayd said ‘Zionists are conducting a joint operation in coalition with Arabs.’.. Everything is orchestrated and coordinated by Washington – including supplying weapons, intelligence and targets to strike.”

Cleaning-in-ViolationVolunteers Threatened with Arrest for Cleaning Up Oil Spill, They Ignored the Cops and Kept Cleaning– by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “To make matters worse, the volunteers who spontaneously appeared to help clean up the oil, were threatened with arrest by police for tampering with the scene and apparently putting themselves in danger… The volunteers were the first people on the scene to help, long before the government agents who were hired arrived… ‘I was there for about an hour, and we filled 50 five-gallon buckets. Sadly, I must say, there is no way we removed one percent of that spill,’ volunteer Ethan Turpin told the Independent… According to witnesses, the officers had complained that the volunteers did not have safety equipment that was up to code, and they were not cleaning up the spill according to government guidelines. All the while, government or corporate clean-up crews had still not shown up.”

Tens of Thousands March Against Global Elites Ahead of G7 – by Sarah Lazare, CommonDreams.org – “…tens of thousands marched through nearby Munich on Thursday to protest the summit’s politics of ‘neo-liberal economic policies, war and militarization, exploitation, poverty and hunger, environmental degradation, and the closing-off towards refugees.’.. Over 34,000 people reportedly turned out for Thursday’s march, with one demonstrator identified as Julia by Euronews declaring we must not lose hope that one day the world really will be equal, and we will all have the same values.’.. The massive protest is just one of many mobilizations, including alternative summits and direct actions, in the lead-up to the gathering of global elites, which will take place June 7 and 8. Government representatives of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States will formally take part… ‘The representatives of the richest and most powerful countries in the world lay claim to decide the fate of the entire world, without having any legitimation for this,’ reads a statement from Stop G7 Elmau 2015.”

Hundreds protest ‘kidnapping’ in Norway’s Child Welfare System – from RT.com – “Driving rain in Oslo didn’t put the several hundred protesters off from making their viewpoint heard, as they assembled by the city’s Central Station, before marching towards the parliament building… Banners were held aloft, with messages including: ‘Children are not business,’ and, ‘Bring back our children.’ They are angry at the Norwegian foster care system ‘Barnevernet,’ (Child Protection Service), which has seen families in the country lose their children for alleged abuses, such as accidently dislodging a child’s loose tooth.”

Art of Manipulation: Kiev to Create Project to Indoctrinate Donbass – from SputnikNews.com – “Hacktivists from CyberBerkut leaked information claiming that the United States helped Ukraine to come up with a new radio station designed to turn the residents of the self-proclaimed Donbass republics pro-Kiev. The project was also supposed to spread panic and separatist ideas within Russia… Together with the United States, Kiev created a new project designed to gain support of the population in the self-proclaimed Donbass republics through psychological manipulation and disinformation,…CyberBerkut claimed… The new radio project, codenamed “Free Donbass,” was created by US experts to swing the people of the independent Donbas republics towards supporting the government in Kiev… ‘The goal is to create a radio station, which besides music will give people ‘the proper’ and beneficial information to the Kiev junta,’ a statement on the CyberBerkut website said… Radios tuned into the station’s frequency, will be distributed to Donbass residents as humanitarian aid. NATO used the similar technique in Iraq, which proved to be successful, the hacker group said.”

Saudi-led naval blockade leaves 20m Yemenis facing humanitarian disaster – by Julian Borger, TheGuardian.com – “Aid agencies say embargo imposed by US and UK-backed Arab coalition has had dramatic effect, with almost 80% of population in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies… Despite western and UN entreaties, Riyadh has also failed to disburse any of the $274m it promised in funding for humanitarian relief. According to UN estimates due to be released next week 78% of the population is in need of emergency aid, an increase of 4 million over the past three months.”

NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ – by Michael Bastasch, DailyCaller.com – “But that’s not all NOAA did to increase the warming trend in recent decades. Climate expert Bob Tisdale and meteorologist Anthony Watts noted that to ‘manufacture warming during the hiatus, NOAA adjusted the pre-hiatus data downward.’.. ‘If we subtract the [old] data from the [new] data… we can see that that is exactly what NOAA did,” Tisdale and Watts wrote on the science blog Watts Up With That… ‘It’s the same story all over again; the adjustments go towards cooling the past and thus increasing the slope of temperature rise,’ Tisdale and Watts added. ‘Their intent and methods are so obvious they’re laughable.’ ”

For the week of 6/1/15:

US-Saudi- Israeli “Axis of Evil” Against Yemen, Carefully Planned Military Undertaking – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – Yemen is Obama’s war – planned months before Saudi-led proxies launched naked aggression… It’s been raging since March 26 with no end in sight. At stake is Yemeni sovereignty and the fate of its 24 million people suffering horrifically from relentless Saudi terror-bombing and shelling… Israel is very much involved. In late April, Fars News reported its submarines and warplanes “readily observed” near Saudi Arabia’s coastline since conflict began – according to unnamed foreign diplomats… They said Riyadh secretly agreed decades ago to give Israeli submarines and warplanes access to Saudi waters.“The Saudi F-16 fighter jet was shot down and subsequently crashed in the Bayt Khayran area of the district of Bani Harith in the northern part of Sanaa.”.. Wreckage of both planes “were found to be of types never supplied to an Arab nation, not Saudi Arabia” or others. ‘The only ‘buyer’ in the region for that type of plane is Israel.’.. At the same time, Press TV reported two downed Saudi warplanes in the same areas… On May 29, Pravda said ‘Saudis have begun to wipe Yemen off the map…Shocking video reveals proton bombardment from a neutron bomb.”.. “Israel is reported to be the one to deploy such (weapons). Any doubts about the nuclear attack on Yemen attributed to Israel, as evidenced in two Israeli F-16s shot down and forensically identified, are now gone.’ ”

Israeli weapons, US base plans found in Sanaa Saudi embassy – report – from RT.com – “In the embassy, the Houthis discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition made in Israel. According to Fars news, the Saudi government has asked Tel-Aviv for weapons to supply what the report calls “terrorist groups” and forces loyal to President Hadi… The report also claims documents were discovered in the embassy detailing the US intends to build a military base on Mayyun Island near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait “to protect their own interests and ensure the security of Israel.” The island is part of Saudi Arabia… ‘The Saudis are using Israeli weapons in their raids on Yemen,’ the Fars report says, quoting Yemeni Army Commander Taher Rasoul.”

UN-Not_Our_FriendMore Collectivism and Sustainability to Come at the 2015 UN Summit – by Makia Freeman, ZenGardner.com – “… the UN assumes that the Charter is vague and broad enough so as to authorize it to do absolutely everything! This concept of unlimited power was made absolutely clear when the UN World Court declared: “Under international law, the organization [the UN] must be deemed to have those powers which, though not expressly provided in the Charter, are conferred upon it by necessary implication as being essential to the performance of its duties.” – G. Edward Griffin

UK’s Independent Newspaper Blows Lid Off Vaccine Damages – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “The above information demonstrably demonstrates – and validates – what vaccine-safety-advocates (often referred to as anti-vaxxers) have been beating the drums about: Vaccines cause irreversible damage and, as the U.S. VAERS reporting system—similar to the UK’s ADR (adverse drug reaction) reporting system—even deaths and for which the U.S. Vaccine Court has settled claims… So, it’s indisputable that vaccines cause adverse health problems, which undeniably increase healthcare costs for everyone involved, plus promote more Big Pharma patented ‘products’ to deal with those ADRs. Can that be one of the hidden ‘aspects’ for promoting vaccines as assiduously as government health agencies do?.. The UK is not unique in ADRs from vaccines. Every country in the world that has any vaccine program reports serious ADRs. However, what is unique is that in the USA those ADRs are not permitted to be discussed in the mainstream press and media. The Independent’s report truly is refreshing insofar as the “cat is out of the bag” definitely, and let’s make certain it stays out; that journalists globally report vaccine damage, and especially in the supposed ‘free’ press of the United States of America.”

Sen_Sheldon_WhitehouseSenator: Use RICO Laws to Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics – by Mark Hemingway, WeeklyStandard.com – “…when does coordinating “a wide range of activities, including political lobbying, contributions to political candidates, and a large number of communication and media efforts” go from basic First Amendment expression to racketeering? The tobacco analogy is inappropriate in regards to how direct the link between smoking and cancer is. Even among those who do agree that global warming is a problem, there’s a tremendously wide variety of opinions about the practical effects. Who gets to decide whether someone is ‘downplaying the role of carbon emissions in climate change’ relative to the consensus? If message coordination and lobbying on controversial scientific and political issues can be declared racketeering because the people funding such efforts have a financial interest in a predetermined outcome, we’re just going to have to outlaw everything that goes on in Washington, D.C.”

EPA hid truth about glyphosate and cancer for decades to protect Monsanto’s corporate profits – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “The scientist goes on to discuss one study in particular involving rabbits that examined the effects of the herbicidal chemical on the skin. Researchers at the time monitored the rabbits’ blood chemistry; one finding involved an increase in lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme in the blood related to tissue damage… Samsel says another study indicated that glyphosate went directly into the animals’ bone marrow. The scientist says that is dangerous because new cells are born in the marrow and can pass substances on to the thymus glad, where T-cells and white blood cells eventually form. He believes that is significant, especially in light of the recent IARC report describing glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic” in causing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and prostate cancer.”

Mohammed_Ali_al-HoutiTop Houthi leader welcomes UN-backed Yemen peace talks – from PressTV.ir – “Houthi lashed out at Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, and his supporters, including the Saudi regime, for “foiling” any peace effort aimed at restoring peace and stability to the violence-ravaged country… ‘They are putting pre-conditions to obstruct any talks that could lead the Yemeni people to a solution,’ he stated in reference to the earlier remarks by Hadi and his cabinet members urging Houthi fighters to lay down arms and abandon the areas under their control as preconditions for any peace negotiations… The Houthi official also stressed that no peace deal could be achieved while Riyadh refuses to stop its military aggression against the Yemeni people.”

Israeli weapons, US base plans found in Sanaa (Yemen) Saudi embassy – report – from RT.com – “The Fars report cites sources among Houthi rebels fighting against forces loyal to Yemen’s fugitive President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and their Saudi allies. It claims the rebels drove some 40 Saudi guards from the embassy to capture the compound… In the embassy, the Houthis discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition made in Israel. According to Fars news, the Saudi government has asked Tel-Aviv for weapons to supply what the report calls “terrorist groups” and forces loyal to President Hadi… The report also claims documents were discovered in the embassy detailing the US intends to build a military base on Mayyun Island near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait ‘to protect their own interests and ensure the security of Israel.’ The island is part of Saudi Arabia.”

Austerity – The Demolition of the Welfare State and the Rise of the Zombie Economy – Review of Kerry­-Anne Mendoza’s Book – by Jim Miles, GlobalResearch.ca – “In order to protect the corporate world, many laws have been made that circumvent or undermine basic human rights of privacy, freedom of assembly, detention without charges, et al. Mendoza highlights her comments with specific examples that highlight the absurdity and the oppressive nature of many of these acts… Historically she gives a brief outline beginning with the Bretton Woods Agreements made during World War II when U.S. corporate ideology became paramount. The work passes through the era of IMF//World Bank Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) that created many countries indebted to the western financial system and harmed much of the affected countries agricultural and nascent industrial components… It concludes with the current “negotiations” ­ really a lack thereof as the corporate bosses/lawyers/MBAs are writing the agreements out of public sight/democratic scrutiny ­concerning the TTIP (Atlantic) and TTP (Pacific) financial agreements that create corporate rule over sovereign national rules.”

Zoran_ZaevMacedonian media: patriots defeated Color Revolution – by Andrew Korybko, OrientalReview.org – “The most important factor in effectively combating any Color Revolution, not just Macedonia’s, is a patriotic population, and Macedonians of all kinds streamed into the street to support their country during the massive rally on 18 May. They were already aware of the Color Revolution attempt by Zaev, and the presence of irredentist Albanian supporters and the Macedonia-hating Sergey Stanischev during the ‘opposition’s’ small gathering contributed to the patriotic reaction the day afterwards. What can be learned by this is that a proactive information campaign educating citizens about the looming threat to their country, coupled with soft power failures by the Color Revolutionaries, can solidify the population in opposing the regime change attempt. All of this would be for naught, however, if Macedonians didn’t already value their identity and were confident with it, since one can’t properly defend what they don’t truly love.”

Macedonian Crisis: Uneasy Conscience Betrays Itself – by Dmitry Minin, Strategic-Culture.org – “The Macedonian opposition has a powerful sponsor lending a helping hand. Suffice it to remember the 6-months-old wire-tap scandal sparked by revelations that came to light thanks to the efforts undertaken by patriots. An almost surreal scandal involving 700 thousands of secretly recorded conversations caught top government officials discussing everything from rigging votes to covering up killings. Opposition Social Democrat leader Zoran Zaev said the tapes were made illegally by the government as part of mass surveillance operation targeting 20,000 allies and opponents alike.”

Michael_Snyder Investors Start To Panic As A Global Bond Market Crash Begins – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – “If Greece defaults and starts using another currency, the value of the euro is going to absolutely plummet and bond yields all over the continent are going to start heading into the stratosphere… That is why it is so important to keep an eye on what is going on in Greece… But no matter what happens in Greece, it appears that we are moving into a time when there will be higher interest rates around the world. And since 505 trillion dollars in derivatives are directly tied to interest rate levels, that could lead to a financial unraveling unlike anything that we have ever seen before in the history of our planet.”

Why Is The EU Forcing European Nations To Adopt ‘Bail-In’ Legislation By The End Of The Summer? – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “So which countries are being threatened?.. It turns out that there are 11 of them. The following comes from Mark O’Byrne: ‘The article “EU regulators tell 11 countries to adopt bank bail-in rules” reported how 11 countries are under pressure from the EC and had yet “to fall in line”. The countries were Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, France and Italy.’.. France and Italy are two countries who are regarded as having particularly fragile banking systems… But why only two months to get this done?.. When I was in law school, I took an entire course on European Union law. Normally, things in Europe take a very long time to get done. It is out of character for the European Commission to rush to get something like this done so quickly… Could they be anticipating that this legislation will need to be put into use very soon?”

‘Self-appointed advocate of new Ukraine’: Soros emails leaked by anti-Kiev hackers – from RT.com – ” According to the leaked documents, Soros supports Barack Obama’s stance on Ukraine, but believes that the US should do even more… He is confident that the US should provide Ukraine with lethal military assistance, ‘with same level of sophistication in defense weapons to match the level of opposing force.’.. ‘In poker terms, the US will ‘meet, but not raise,’ the 84-year-old businessman explained, supposedly signing one of the letters as ‘a self-appointed advocate of the new Ukraine.’.. The Western backers want Kiev to ‘restore the fighting capacity of Ukraine without violating the Minsk agreement,’ Soros wrote… Retired US general Wesley Clark, who commanded the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, and Polish ex-general, Waldemar Skrzypczak, will be among those advising Poroshenko on how to fulfil this task, he added.”

Obama’s Affordable Care Act becoming more unaffordable than ever as insurance rates skyrocket – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “Meanwhile, American consumers continue to get the shaft by a law whose namesake, President Obama, promised repeatedly would benefit consumers by lowering their costs… ‘Insurers seem to be reporting higher trend, which means they are seeing bigger increases in health care costs,’ Larry Levitt, senior vice president for special initiatives at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told Politico. ‘But really what’s going on here is they now have data showing what the risk pool looks like. Initially in 2014 they were completely guessing about who was going to enroll and how much health care they were going to use.’.. And the “risk pool” is worse than insurance companies envisioned because fewer younger, healthier Americans who don’t require much healthcare are signing up for coverage.

obama-nuclear‘Russia Would Attack NATO Only In Mad Person’s Dream’ – Putin – from RT.com via InformationClearingHouse.info – ” ‘I think that only an insane person and only in a dream can imagine that Russia would suddenly attack NATO. I think some countries are simply taking advantage of people’s fears with regard to Russia. They just want to play the role of front-line countries that should receive some supplementary military, economic, financial or some other aid,’ Putin said… Certain countries could be deliberately nurturing such fears, he added, saying that hypothetically the US could need an external threat to maintain its leadership in the Atlantic community. ‘Iran is clearly not very scary or big enough’ for this, Putin noted with irony… Russia’s President invited the journalists to compare the global military presence of Russia and the US/NATO, as well as their military spending levels. He also urged them to look at the steps each side has taken in connection with the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty since the collapse of the Soviet Union… Russia’s military policy is ‘not global, offensive, or aggressive,” Putin stressed, adding that Russia has “virtually no bases abroad,’ and the few that do exist are remnants of its Soviet past.”

Lindsay-w-Balloons‘Vote for me’ if you want more wars: GOP presidential candidate – from PressTV.ir – “US Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham has told Americans to vote for him if they want more wars and avoid 9/11 like terrorist attacks… In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, co-host Steve Doocy questioned Graham’s past war rhetoric… ‘A lot of people are just worn out by war,’ Doocy told the longtime senator from South Carolina… ‘Well, don’t vote for me,’ Graham responded. ‘Don’t vote for me, because I’m telling you what’s coming: Barack Obama’s policies leading from behind are going to allow another 9/11.’.. ‘ISIL is large, rich and entrenched,” he added. ‘If I’m president they will be poor, small and on the run.’ ”

Living in the Climax of Awakening Ages – by Zen Gardner, ZenGardner.com – “The convergence we are experiencing is everything to be excited about. Do not doubt your inner voice. We stand in full conviction and need not be moved by the barkings of technofascism or police state tactics. We must operate in calm, trusting knowing that what has been established in our hearts is the true nature of humanity and our planet and that these machinations from some sort of imaginary hell are simply that – false, fabricated weapons of fear-based intimidation designed to destabilize our heart felt footing in the true reality of the world as it should, could, will be, and already is… It’s all about the individual. We stand alone, yet together. We move with honor and dignity. We speak truth, in love. Our force, even if it be just one alone, is more than the lie can handle. In that conviction the heart wins. No matter the seeming outcome in any surface skirmish, we win. Because Truth always wins out. Always.

2015-06-07 10_01_28-701 _ US Maury collection ICOADS _ By_ benmschmidt _ Flickr - Photo Sharing!Plot Logbook Entries from 18/19th century ship logs and you get this amazing chart – by John Konrad, GCaptain.com – ” ‘A map I put up a year and a half ago went viral this winter’ says map creator Ben Schmidt . ‘The motivation for the series is that a medium-sized data set like Maury’s 19th century logs (with ‘merely’ millions of points) lets us think through in microcosm the general problems of reading historical data. It shows the paths taken by ships in the US Maury collection of NOAA’s ICOADS database.’… The most striking feature of the map, however, are the broad bands of traffic moving across the high seas. Their sheer volume reflects the economic importance of each transoceanic flow with the centre of gravity for global maritime commerce is the east coast of North America. Three thick bundles of traffic, each composed of countless individual ocean crossings, converge on the continent’s eastern seaboard. (emph. added)

Snowden-via-satelliteDaniel Ellsberg: Snowden would not get a fair trial – and Kerry is wrong – by Daniel Ellsberg, TheGuardian.com – “I wondered how a 70-year-old Kerry would relate to that question as he looked at that picture and that headline. And then there he was on MSNBC an hour later, thinking about me, too, during a round of interviews about Afghanistan that inevitably turned to Edward Snowden ahead of my fellow whistleblower’s own primetime interview that night: ‘There are (sic) many a patriot – you can go back to the Pentagon Papers with Dan Ellsberg and others who stood and went to the court system of America and made their case. Edward Snowden is a coward, he is a traitor, and he has betrayed his country. And if he wants to come home tomorrow to face the music, he can do so.’.. Snowden would come back home to a jail cell – and not just an ordinary cell-block but isolation in solitary confinement, not just for months like Chelsea Manning but for the rest of his sentence, and probably the rest of his life. His legal adviser, Ben Wizner, told me that he estimates Snowden’s chance of being allowed out on bail as zero. (I was out on bond, speaking against the Vietnam war, the whole 23 months I was under indictment)… John Kerry’s challenge to Snowden to return and face trial is either disingenuous or simply ignorant that current prosecutions under the Espionage Act allow no distinction whatever between a patriotic whistleblower and a spy. Either way, nothing excuses Kerry’s slanderous and despicable characterizations of a young man who, in my opinion, has done more than anyone in or out of government in this century to demonstrate his patriotism, moral courage and loyalty to the oath of office the three of us swore: to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

You Can Be Prosecuted for Clearing Your Browser History – Khairullozhori Matanov, a friend of the Boston bomber, is being sentenced under a law whose purview is growing disturbingly wide – by Juliana DeVries, InformationCleraringHouse.info – “In 2010 David Kernell, a University of Tennessee student, was convicted under Sarbanes-Oxley after he deleted digital records that showed he had obtained access to Sarah Palin’s Yahoo e-mail account. Using publicly available information, Kernell answered security questions that allowed him to reset Palin’s Yahoo password to “popcorn.” He downloaded information from Palin’s account, including photographs, and posted the new password online. He then deleted digital information that may have made it easier for federal investigators to find him. Like Matanov, he cleared the cache on his Internet browser. He also uninstalled Firefox, ran a disk defragmentation program to reorganize and clean up his hard drive, and deleted a series of images that he had downloaded from the account. For entering Palin’s e-mail, he was eventually convicted of misdemeanor unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer and felony destruction of records under Sarbanes-Oxley. In January 2012, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit found that Kernell’s awareness of a potential investigation into his conduct was enough to uphold the felony charge… At the time Kernell took steps to clean his computer, he does not appear to have known that there was any investigation into his conduct. Regardless, the government felt that they were entitled to that data, and the court agreed that Kernell was legally required to have preserved it.”

Anti-Poroshenko_March-Kiev‘Impeach Poroshenko!’ Massive (?) anti-govt rally held in central Kiev – Political analyst Aleksandar Pavic told RT that there has been a rapid decline in living standards and human rights since the Maidan revolution in 2014, which resulted in the violent ouster of the former government by Kiev’s current authorities… ‘After the Maidan 2014 nobody in Ukraine is enjoying a better life, except people at the top of organizations and structures that caused the Maidan revolution,’ Pavic said… Since Maidan, Ukraine has established an almost “oligarchical regime,” as the current government has excluded a ‘large fragment of the population from having a say in political life,’ he said… ‘If they look at their lives today and a year and a half ago I think they cannot but notice the big decline of living standards and even human rights.’.. Even under Yanukovich’s rule Ukraine was ‘much closer to the European way of life,’ Pavic said. ”

as_above_so_below_by_circle_art-700x700Organic Hierarchy – And Dark Side Deception – by Julian Rose, ZenGardner.com – “There are no doubt many levels that make up the moving stairway to full conscious awareness; thus many roles to fill on the journey of aspiration towards the Supreme. A society which embraces this form of aspirational governance will offer countless rungs of ‘employment’ for its people, each reflecting and drawing-out, the actual talents and creative abilities each individual possesses… Here we move far beyond the modern day pseudo-democratic experiment in which individual aspiration is honoured to the degree that it devotes itself to the acquisition of wealth, prestige and a well-honed ability ‘to play the game’. A game which the status quo has set-up in order to maintain its entirely false hierarchical ambitions… However, the idea of establishing a hierarchy here on Earth is likely to have its origins in an attempt to mirror the universal model. That is why the wisdom of the phrase ‘as above so below’ carries such a particular significance.” – Interesting and provocative philosophical speculation

German FM calls for removal of Gaza blockade – from PressTV.ir – “German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has called for the removal of Israel’s eight-year-long blockade on the Gaza Strip… More action to rebuild and improve Gaza’s troubled economy “requires the opening of crossing points,” said Steinmeier during a rare visit to Gaza on Monday… Removing the blockade will also decrease the risk of renewed escalation in the region, he noted… ‘The troubled situation in Gaza demands of us to think about concrete steps to improve daily life there — without which, I am afraid, the situation is escalating,’ he added.”

Syria at forefront of resistance against Israel: Larijani – from PressTV.ir – “(Iran’s Parliament Speaker) Larijani made the remarks at a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Mohammad Jihad al-Laham in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Monday… The top Iranian parliamentarian also lauded the resistance of the Syrian nation against terrorism, saying that Syrian people have managed, to a great extent, to foil the plots hatched by the “adventurous” terrorists through steadfastness.

Colleen_McNallyArizona judge threatens mother with jail time for speaking out against illegal medical kidnapping – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “Here is the face of judicial tyranny in Maricopa County, Arizona, where the juvenile justice system has completely run amok, illegally holding innocent children hostage while denying their parents’ First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights as guaranteed under the Constitution. This face belongs to Presiding Juvenile Judge Colleen McNally, who right now is threatening to throw a mother in prison — not for any crime, but simply for talking to others about the crimes of Judge McNally and her buddies in Child Protective Services.Their full story and a timeline of events is available here. But suffice it to say that, like many other cases of state-initiated child abduction in recent years, the Diegel girls were kidnapped by a “children’s hospital,” in this case Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and subjected to clinical trials without their parents’ consent. And when their parents caught onto the racket and tried to take action, they were dealt with harshly by the corrupt state.”

Detroit citizens launch Detroit Water Brigade as battle looms with corporate monopolization of water supply – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “DeMeeko Williams, co-founder, political director and chief coordinator of the Detroit Water Brigade, a group he helped found to end water service cancellations after his own water was shut off, noted that while ordinary citizens were losing their service, local corporations and even some churches that owe millions of dollars are still allowed to keep their service… He said he thinks there is collusion between local politicians and corporations allowing the latter to keep their lights on and their water flowing. To that end, Al Jazeera America reported in October that the Detroit Red Wings’ hockey arena owed the city some $80,000, while the Detroit Lions’ stadium, Ford Field, owed $55,000. In sum, commercial and industrial users owe $30 million in unpaid water bills… ‘The ‘Water Warriors’ put their bodies on the line to protect Detroiters. Five hundred shut-offs were prevented,’ he said recently… The issue has now become one of international human and civil rights. Officials with the United Nations have called the shut-offs inhumane, arguing that water is a basic necessity.”

Sun_drives_climateIncreasing Cosmic Rays – Driving Force in Climate Changes, Volcanos and Earthquakes – by Dr. Marc Sircus, DrSircus.com – ” The sun is not subtle at all keeping all life possible down here on planet earth. The sun, when aroused puts out a higher velocity of solar wind that protects the earth from cosmic rays. During periods of low solar activity, which we are now experiencing, the solar winds decrease allowing more cosmic rays to penetrate, which increases cloud formation, which would be the main cooling mechanism from diminished solar activity. Whatever theories are presented we have history to tell us that we have had mini ice ages at times when the sun has shown diminished sun spot activity… Upon reaching the lower atmosphere where more sulphur dioxide, water vapor, and ozone is present, the cosmic rays ionize the air, releasing electrons that aid in the formation of more cloud condensation nuclei and form more dense clouds. This increase in low-cloud amount reflects more solar energy to space, cooling the planet. The increasingly intense rain and snow storms can, in all likelihood, be attributed to the decreasing solar winds and increasing cosmic rays that are penetrating the earth.”

Dees-Climate_ChurchMIT Climate Scientist: Global Warming Believers a ‘Cult’ – by Howie Carr, Breitbart.com – “As for CO2, Lindzen said that until recently, periods of greater warmth were referred to as “climate optimum.” Optimum is derived from a Latin word meaning “best.”.. ‘Nobody ever questioned that those were the good periods. All of a sudden you were able to inculcate people with the notion that you have to be afraid of warmth.’.. The warmists’ ultimate solution is to reduce the standard of living for most of mankind. That proposition is being resisted most vigorously by nations with developing economies such as China and India, both of which have refused to sign on to any restrictive, Obama-backed climate treaties. Lindzen understands their reluctance… ‘Anything you do to impoverish people, and certainly all the planned policies will impoverish people, is actually costing lives. But the environmental movement has never cared about that.’ ”

Senior NATO Official: “We’ll Probably be at War This Summer” – “If we’re lucky it won’t be nuclear” – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Although not specified, the reference was almost certainly in relation to growing tensions between the United States and Russia… One analysis of the comment suggests it may have been a ‘deliberate “leak” from NATO sources, to emphasize how serious the situation is.’.. Earlier this month NATO launched its biggest ever wargame exercise on Russia’s doorstep. Moscow responded by conducting “provocative” wargames in the Mediterranean Sea in coordination with the Chinese PLA, the first ever naval drill involving both superpowers… NATO powers are also taking part in one of Europe’s largest ever fighter jet drills from today, with the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Finland, Norway and Sweden all involved in the 12 day exercise.”

Nuclear War has Begun in Yemen – from EntryNews.com – w/video of multiple nuclear blasts in Yemen – “Denial becomes impossible without insanity… Even the cheap video camera picked up the proton bombardment from a neutron bomb, as seen in the scintillation after the initial fireball. We expect Mossad and ADL trolls to be driven crazy by this one. No one watching this video can have a second’s doubt that they are seeing an Israeli neutron bomb. Israel is the only nation that openly deploys neutron bombs, there is no one else.”

Thousands of Ukrainians protest Kiev regime’s draconian utility price hikes – by Alex Lantier, WSWS.org – “The right-wing government in Kiev is slashing spending on subsidies to basic goods to funnel the money to the Ukrainian regime’s Wall Street creditors and boosting military spending on the war against Russian-backed forces in east Ukraine. As a result, consumer prices for basic necessities are skyrocketing… On May 1, hot and cold water prices rose by 71 percent. A month before, natural gas prices had increased by 285 percent, passing from just over 1,000 hryvnia (US$48.20) to over 4,000 hryvnia per thousand cubic meters of gas… Ukrainians were already struggling to pay their utility bills, with one report in January showing that nearly 30 percent of Ukrainians were unable to pay their bills after utility rates rose 35 percent last year and prices for food, transport, and medicine increased between 50 and 200 percent. Now, broad layers of the Ukrainian people are threatened with destitution.”

UN-2015_Nuclear_NPT_ConfUS torpedoes UN nuclear disarmament conference – from PressTV.ir – “After four weeks of negotiations at the United Nations on ways to improve compliance with the NPT, the United States announced on Friday that there was “no agreement” and accused Arab countries of torpedoing the nuclear disarmament negotiations… The talks ended in failure after the US and its allies, including Canada and Britain rejected a proposal made by Arab countries to establish a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East by March 2016… Israel, which is not a member of the NPT but attended the conference as an observer, also opposed the plan. (Hmmm, perhaps that explains something…) The next treaty review conference is in 2020. – Don’t hold your breath.

Climate change a UN-led ruse, says Tony Abbott’s business adviser Maurice Newman – by Lisa Cox, BrisbaneTimes.com – “Mr Newman’s column was written to coincide with an Australian visit by the head of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres… It follows a piece Mr Newman wrote last year in which he said governments had been hijacked by “green gesture politics” and the world was not prepared for the problem of “global cooling”… ‘It’s a well-kept secret, but 95 per cent of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO₂ emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error. It’s not surprising,’ Mr Newman wrote on Friday… ‘Why then, with such little evidence, does the UN insist the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on futile climate change policies? Perhaps Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN’s framework on climate change, has the answer?’.. Mr Newman continued that global warming was a “hook” to install a new world order.”

How the US Aided ISIS and the Fall of Mosul and Ramadi – from UndergroundReports.blogspot.co.uk – “Furthermore, the document specifically demarcating Iraq as a center for unwanted Iranian “Shia”expansion while accurately predicting the fall of both Mosul and Ramadi to Sunni extremists, thereby assuring against such an expansion, all lead to the conclusion that the recent ISIS gains in both of these cities was not something that the US opposed, but instead something that it desired. Given that the fall of Mosul and Ramadi too were “natural and foreseeable consequences”, given as well the severely questionable ways in which each city fell and the fact that although these outcomes were predictable the US-coalition still continued the policies that were known to lead to them, the US and her allies must therefore be taken to have intended these outcomes as well, either directly or indirectly.”

Osama-Bin-Dead-unWashington Protects Its Lies With More Lies – by Paul Craig Roberts, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Americans are gullible, and thought does not come easily to them, but if they try hard enough they must wonder why it would be necessary for the government to concoct a totally false account of the deed if Washington kills an alleged terrorist. Why not just give the true story? Why does the true story have to come out years later from anonymous sources leaked to Hersh?.. I can tell you for a fact that if SEALs had encountered bin Laden in Abbottabad, they would have used stun grenades and tear gas to take him alive. Bin Laden would have been paraded before the media, and a jubilant White House would have had a much photographed celebration pinning medals on the SEALs who captured him… Instead, we have a murder without a body, which under law classifies as no murder, and a story that was changed several times by the White House itself within 48 hours of the alleged raid and has now been rewritten again by disinformation planted on Hersh.”

Revolution and American Empire – When the Left Promotes the Political Economy of the Far-Right – by Rob Urie, CounterPunch.org – “From the time of the American Revolution to today, with a brief compromise between 1948 and about 1973, the U.S. has been run by and for a self-serving plutocracy. Slavery and genocide weren’t ‘accidents’ nor were they the product of primitive thinking. U.S. wars in Central America, Southeast Asia and Iraq were / are as primitive, in the sense of being for-profit and brutal, as any in human history. And it is hardly an accident that elite impunity and immunity from prosecution for crimes, including War Crimes, is matched by brutal repression of the economic underclasses. Banks and corporations are the social forms of economic imperialism, necessary to the imperial project that places the rest of us as imperial subjects. Back to the start: the American Revolution was fought for the freedom to repress while the revolutions of liberation it has opposed were / are by-and-large fought against it.”

A_Great_WindAn American Indian Prophecy Coming True – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “However, at one place in the conference call, a gentleman from Toronto, Canada, phoned in to say that the tops of the trees in Toronto are dying or dead! That comment struck me to the core and reminded me of an American Indian prophecy I had heard umpteen years ago, which was attributed to the Hopi Tribe. What I had heard stated was that humans would know the end times were near when the trees were dying from the top down. That prophecy has come to mind so often during the last few years that I cannot remember just how many times I recall those stinging words prodding my thoughts… Today I decided to search for that prophecy. I found it listed here posted by Leon Shenandoah of the Onondaga Nation:”

Jade Helm as Itself a Psy Op – by Jay Dyer, JaysAnalysis.com – “If the military wanted to keep Jade Helm secret, it could have been kept secret. The decision to run a mass drill in several states was intentionally done and purposefully allowed to “leak.” The consequences of such a public revelation are much more useful for war gaming and future predictive responses than any imminent threat of martial law. Just like Assange and Snowden, Jade Helm is the establishment’s middle finger in the face of the ridiculous naiveté of the Tea Party crowd.”

Andrzej_DudaBursting at the Seams: Eurosceptic Forces Rip European Union Apart – from SputnikNews.com – “There is no lack of examples. This month, Eurosceptic Andrzej Duda secured a surprising victory over the incumbent president in what some view as a major signal of a possible shift in Poland’s political landscape in the coming parliamentary elections… The United Kingdom pledged to renegotiate its relationship with the European Union following the May 7 general elections. UK Prime Minister David Cameron also promised to hold a referendum by the end of 2017 to let voters decide whether the country should remain part of the European bloc… Then there is Greece that is still trying to reach an agreement with a group of international lenders to unlock bailout money that would help Athens save the country’s struggling economy and avoid leaving the Eurozone, or Grexit.”

How Israel Was Busted Nuking Yemen – by Ian Greenhalgh, VeteransToday.com – “Until mobile phones with cameras and small video cameras were developed, small florescent lights were used as emergency nuclear explosion/radiation detectors. Now, phones and CCD video cameras have become dependable “slam dunk” nuclear detectors… The next few words are the technical explanation of why we are absolutely certain we are dealing with a nuclear event, with no questions whatsoever. This is information available to all member of the press, the military, the scientific community and the general public. This means, of course, that anyone in “denial” of our assertion, proven with this much certainty, is defective as to mental function or suffers from moral degeneracy… ‘The combination of the cameras plastic lens and the photoelectric effect produced in the cameras CCD pick up chip (because it is basically a very large array of photo diodes) allows them to act as very good detectors of high level ionizing radiation. Low level radiation in this case is not of concern because it will not immediately kill you or have long term negative health effects. By simply pointing the camera at an explosive event it will immediately determine if it is nuclear or not. When the camera’s CCD pick up chip is overloaded by excess radiation it will pixelize showing white sparkles all over the picture of the fireball or blast image area.’ ”

UN-Our_FriendFoundations plan to pay news media to cover radical UN agenda – by George Russell, FoxNews.com – “EXCLUSIVE: The United Nations Foundation created by billionaire Ted Turner, along with a branch of media giant Thomson Reuters, is starting to train a squadron of journalists and subsidize media content in 33 countries—including the U.S. and Britain–in a planned $6 million effort to popularize the bulky and sweeping U.N.-sponsored Sustainable Development Goals, prior to a global U.N. summit this September. where U.N. organizers hope they will be endorsed by world leaders… The unprecedented media push is formally intended to start on May 25 but is already underway. It is intended to help breathe some new life into a sprawling U.N. effort–supported by, among others, the Obama administration–to create a global social and environmental agenda for the next 15 years.”

Orange County (Florida) Public Schools to monitor students on social media – District wants to prevent situations that could affect students – by Daniel Dahm, ClickOrlando.com – “Orange County Public Schools announced Thursday that it has acquired software to monitor social media ‘to proactively prevent, intervene and (watch) situations that may impact students and staff.’ The district has obtained an annual license with SnapTrends, software that monitors Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram… The district said it plans to use the software to conduct routine monitoring for the purposes of prevention or early intervention of potential issues in which students or staff could be at risk to themselves or to others… OCPS said the company will assist district law enforcement and security personnel in monitoring publicly available social media communications that are relevant to school operations and personnel.” (emph. added)

The End of Monsanto (with a list of countries banning Monsanto products) – by Julie Lévesque, GlobalResearch.ca – “As Mike Adams reports, Hillary Clinton has hired former Monsanto lobbyist to run her campaign and her law firm used to have Monsanto as a client. It is no surprise that she strongly advocates GMOs… If GMOs are as good as Hillary pretends they are, however, why are the first families not eating any and why are so many countries banning them?.. The reasons for the bans recall the allegedly (Note: Not!) fraudulent 2012 Seralini study: ‘In response to a 2004 study declaring Monsanto’s NK603 GMO maize safe: ‘…a predominantly French team led by Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini undertook a two-year (over 700 days), feeding trial [2], which was otherwise similar. Their work was published in September 2012, also inFCT. The early warnings that had been dismissed in the Monsanto paper developed into serious illnesses, including damage to liver, kidneys, pituitary gland and, most notably, early deaths and development of large tumours in females. In addition, the study included trials of minute amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup, the herbicide to which tolerance has been genetically engineered into NK603, in the rats’ drinking water.’ (Christina Sarich Former Monsanto Employee Fired from Major Scientific Journal’s Editor Position, Natural Society, March 30, 2015)”

How the Mughals viewed the British (Note: Incredible information!) – from CabalTimes.com – “The very fact that the British would undertake a long, circuitous and risky route around Africa (this was before the Suez Canal) to establish “trading posts” in India indicates that the real action was in India. The British had thankfully been prevented from digging into the economic growth of the subcontinent because of the Ottomans who had blocked European land routes to India. But with the development of maritime technologies, the British found their way. Once the British managed to control India though, they did develop a superior economy based on machines (The “Industrial Revolution” of Manchester, which is covered in one of my books). Machines compensated for their lack of skilled workers. And initial British economic growth was from forcing finished British products upon the captive economy of India, which would eventually devolve into a ‘third world country.’ ”

Israel orders wife of Palestinian jailed for Facebook comments expelled from Jerusalem – by Patrick Strickland, ElectronicIntifada.net – “Israeli occupation authorities delivered an order to Muna Shalabi, the wife of a recently sentenced Palestinian prisoner, informing her that they intend to expel her from her hometown of Jerusalem for “security reasons.”.. Shalabi, 43, is from the Sawaneh neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, and was informed by Israel’s interior ministry that she must leave the city for an unspecified amount of time, according to the publication Arab48… Shalabi’s husband Omar, 44, was earlier this month sentenced to nine months in an Israeli prison after an Israeli court found him guilty of “supporting terrorism” and “incitement” for comments he wrote on Facebook last December.”

PoroshenkoMartial law in Ukraine can be declared within hours – Poroshenko – from RT.com – “Poroshenko spoke in the interview program titled “A year of Poroshenko”, dedicated to the anniversary of him being elected president after the previous leader was toppled in a coup. Ukrainian TV aired the program on Thursday night… He said he would sign a decree introducing martial law immediately, should there be an offensive against Kiev’s army in the east of the country: “My key position: if the ceasefire is broken now, if the line of confrontation is crossed, if an advance against the Ukrainian armed forces is organized, at that very moment I will sign the decree on introducing martial law and pass it to parliament… ‘I have no doubt that within hours, martial law will be enacted,’ Poroshenko continued, saying that it will allow Ukraine to ‘demonstrate its readiness for war, for victory, for defense and for peace.’ The Ukrainian president claims that during his term the martial law protocol was significantly ‘improved.’ ” (emph. added)

A Fake Caliphate: Perfect US Strategic Asset – by Pepe Escobar, SputnikNews.com – “By now every informed observer knows how the Cheney regime-initiated “war on terra” is a fraud. So it’s no surprise the planned, ongoing destruction of “Syraq” keeps offering the US industrial-military complex the perfect excuse for extra-weaponizing, worth billions of dollars, of the House of Saud, other GCC minions, Israel and Iraq… This confluence of interests — geopolitical for the Pentagon, commercial for the industrial-military complex — completes the scenario of the House of Saud virtually dictating the foreign policy of the self-described “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” Obama administration in the Levant and in the Arabian peninsula… There will be a meeting in Paris in early June featuring the 22 member-states of Obama’s coalition. By then the Pentagon should have a real plan on what to do with ISIS/ISIL/Daesh; go for broke and try to annihilate it (very unlikely) or push the goon squads towards the Caucasus (not unlikely). Most likely, the mess will remain as it is.”

Hilary-How-do-you-knowDeclassified docs: Hillary aided rise of ISIS – Confirm reports of U.S. arming Middle East jihadists – by Jerome Corsi, WND.com – “More than 100 pages of previously classified Department of Defense and Department of State documents implicate the Obama administration in a cover-up to obscure the role Hillary Clinton and the State Department played in the rise of ISIS… The documents were obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Washington watchdog Judicial Watch… They confirm WND reporting over the past three years of evidence that U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was involved in shipping weapons from Benghazi to support the al-Qaida-affiliated militias fighting the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, effectively arming the Sunni jihadists who morphed into ISIS.”

Commander Of Elite Tajik Police Force Defects To ISIS – by Dmitry Solovyov, HuffingtonPost.com – “The U.S.-trained commander of Tajikistan’s elite police force has defected to Islamic State, he said in a YouTube video, and his former unit will issue a statement condemning him, media said on Thursday… Colonel Gulmurod Khalimov commanded the Central Asian nation’s special-purpose police known as OMON, used against criminals and militants. He disappeared in late April, prompting a search by Tajik police… He reappeared Wednesday, vowing to bring jihad to Russia and the Unites States as he brandished a cartridge belt and sniper rifle, in a professionally made, 10-minute video clip posted in social networks… ‘Listen, you dogs, the president and ministers, if only you knew how many boys, our brothers are here, waiting and yearning to return to Tajikistan to re-establish sharia law there,’ he said, addressing Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon.” – Note: Who is paying this guy?…

TEXAS DELUGE: Was it a geoengineered weather event to enforce compliance with Agenda 21? – by Michael Thomas, StateOfTheNation2012.com – “The black ‘column’, which protrudes through northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska on the image above is not natural in any way, shape or form. It’s very squared off, much too angular, and straight-lined. Also, this rain event pattern is unusually vertical in its development and has been exhibiting unnatural shapes and abnormal dynamics along the way… What is perhaps the most distinguishing feature of this apparently geoengineered weather event is that it maintained its structural integrity over several days. The longevity of any cohesive meteorological phenomenon is relatively short. In this particular case, highly unusual weather dynamics and geometries persisted over days when they would normally have morphed into new shapes and sizes, or dissolved altogether. Simply put, these kinds of weather patterns and dynamics do not exist in nature.”

Conspiracy Theorists Vindicated: HAARP Confirmed Weather-manipulation Tool – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “The most damning aspersion that can be lobbed against any person, or the exposure of “secret government activity,” overwhelmingly is “Conspiracy Theorist.” That pejorative ‘handle’ is equated with imbecile mind-activity with aspersions often suggested as ‘tin hat wearers’. Well, step aside all you doubters and listen up carefully to what took place in the halls of Congress on May 14, 2014 regarding the weather modification system known as HAARP… In the YouTube below Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) asks some pointed questions about HAARP. However, readers may not be surprised at the answers, but the mainstream media ought to be wiping oodles of egg yolk from its collective face. (emph. added)

Israeli-Fighter-Jets-Bibi-n-SalmanIsraeli F16s Bombing Yemen? – from SputnikNews.com – “Earlier in the day, another Saudi F16 fighter jet was downed in the Bayt Khayran area of the district of Bani Harith in the north of the northwestern province of Sana’a. The fighter jet had reportedly conducted a number of airstrikes against Yemen’s al-Dailami air base… One of the two F16s was shot down by an updated BUK system supplied by Russia — Yemen is well-equipped with modern Russian weaponry including MiG-29s and advanced air-defense systems, a fact that has clearly been overlooked by the Saudis and their Israeli allies… With the distance between Israel and to Yemen being 1,200 miles an F16 with 3 drop tanks, 4×1000 lb. bombs and two sidewinder missiles for self-defense is do-able from Israel — the very same distance and mission configuration as needed to hit Iran, the US edition claimed in a report.”

Finnish politician suggests sterilizing African immigrants ‘to avoid total collapse’ in Helsinki – from RT.com – “According to Olli Sademies, 67, the problem with African immigrants is that they have too many children. So forced sterilization is the way to tackle it, he suggested… ‘Migrants put to the test our social security,’ Sademies wrote. ‘Africa’s social security is based on a large number of children, which enables some children to live longer and take care of their parents.’.. In order “to avoid total collapse” of a similar system in Finland, African refugees should be restricted, Sademies said. ‘Three children maximum. It would require the forced sterilization of African men, which will effectively discourage them from trundling into our country,’ he wrapped up. ” (emph. added)

Thyroid cancer rates in Japanese children living near Fukushima catastrophe skyrocketed by 6,000% – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “Reports indicate that, since January of this year, 16 new cases of thyroid cancer have emerged, bringing the total number of young people diagnosed with the disease to 103. Correspondingly, as many as 127 people have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having thyroid cancer, according to Japan’s Asahi Shimbun… The Fukushima Voice reports that, as of March 31, all 16 identified cases have been confirmed as definitive papillary thyroid cancer, with an additional nine suspected cases. The figures represent reported cases from both the first round of initial screening, which included looking at 368,000 individuals 18 years and younger, as well as a second round… ‘There is a striking similarity between the [age] profiles of patients diagnosed during the period of latency after Chernobyl in Ukraine and currently in Fukushima,’ states a presentation[PDF] by Shinichi Suzuki, the man heading the Fukushima Thyroid Examination.”

Secret Meeting in London to “End Cash” – Central banks aim to institute “governmental approval” for all purchases and sales – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Economist Martin Armstrong claims there is a “secret meeting to end cash” set to take place in London before the end of the month involving representatives from the ECB and the Federal Reserve… Armstrong, who is known for successfully predicting the 1987 Black Monday crash as well as the 1998 Russian financial collapse, expressed his shock that no news outlet has reported on this upcoming conference… ‘I find it extremely perplexing that I have been the only one to report of the secret meeting in London. Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University, and Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup, will address the central banks to advocate the elimination of all cash to bring to fruition the day when you cannot buy or sell anything without government approval,’ writes Armstrong… As Armstrong notes, banning cash in order to eviscerate what little economic freedoms people have left to avoid disastrous Keynesian central bank policy is nothing short of economic totalitarianism.”

Europe Has A Solution For The Unemployment Problem: Fake Jobs – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Candelia is one of a number of so-called “Potemkin” companies operating in France. Everything about these entities is imaginary from the customers, to the supply chain, to the banks, to the “wages” employees receive and while the idea used to be that the creation of a “parallel economic universe” would help to train the jobless and prepare them for real employment sometime in the future, these “occupations” are now serving simply as way for the out-of-work to suspend reality for eight hours a day… Of course, in today’s global economy, it’s difficult to propser even if you’re a make-believe company which is why it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that “Animal Kingdom”, a fake pet store, is on the verge of fake bankruptcy: ‘She looked at a stack of invoices, including some orders from virtual companies that had not been paid. “If this keeps up we’ll go out of business,” Mrs. Banuelos said, handing the papers to two women with instructions to follow up. “What’s our strategy to improve profitability?” she asked the group.’ “

Saudi’s Have Israel Nuke Yemen for Them (with Video) – Neutron bomb dropped by IAF plane with Saudi markings… – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – “A. Its not a conventional 2k lb bomb. It’s much bigger… B. Its either a very large MOAB bigger than 4,000 lbs. or; ???? Max weight for an F-15 / 16 is about 2,000 lb payload per bomb rack making the deployment of a MOAB impossible… C. Its appears to be a small neutron bomb. The size, color, lightning effect and duration of the fire ball being suspended in mid air and the very large mushroom cloud is the main give away. The CCD cameras imaging device was “scintillating” (detecting Neutrons) That is the white pixel flashes in the video. When the photo has white pixel flashes in it, that is because it is being hit by neutrons from the nuclear fireball blast. It overloads the ccd’s electronic circuit producing white flashes… If the radiation is too high it will burn out the chip. They had big problems with this in Japan with the Fukushima robots cameras failing due to very high radiation counts… D. Delivery is most likely by an IDF F-16 with a Saudi paint job on the plane. They are not even hiding their use anymore,they just don’t publicity admit it and the IAEA does nothing or says nothing. That is the true war crime. The UN just ignores it unless the US, France or GB complains…….. Russia and China say nothing… E. This is now the second known use of nukes in Yemen by Saudi…”

“There Are Just Certain Kids We Should Have 24/7″: Obama’s Education Secretary Wants Government Boarding Schools – by Melissa Dykes, TheDailySheeple.com – “Claiming that there are “just certain kids we should have 24/7,” the controversial figure also proposed, citing inaccurate information, turning government schools across America into “community centers” that would offer students even more “after-school programming.” Despite escalating criticism of Duncan and his scheming — one analyst called it “scary” — the proposed plots were hardly surprising considering other elements of what senior officials often refer to as the “cradle-to-career” education agenda.”.. If you thought the loss of parent’s rights over what level of government brainwashing their child is subjected to within the regular public school system was bad enough in this country, check out the new idea radical Obama Education Secretary Arne Duncan was throwing around last week while speaking at the National Summit on Youth Violence Prevention: public boarding schools… He was quoted as saying, ‘That’s a little bit of a different idea — a controversial idea — but the question is do we have some children where there’s not a mom, there’s not a dad, there’s not a grandma, there’s just nobody at home?’… And why exactly is no one home? Because the middle class is being systematically murdered and everyone who isn’t on government welfare or part of the .0001% has to work multiple jobs just to keep a roof over their heads and the lights on these days?”

No_CursiveTeachers using pens and paper in the classroom “not fair” to students, Microsoft official says – Microsoft Summit 2015 coming to Vancouver – by Stephen Hui, Straight.com – ” ‘Pens and paper have no place in the modern classroom. And chalkboards? They should be banished from our schools too’… That’s what Lia De Cicco Remu, director of Partners in Learning at Microsoft Canada, told the Georgia Straight ahead of the Microsoft Summit 2015 in Vancouver, which is set to be attended by around 200 teachers… ‘When was the last time you used a piece of chalk to express yourself?’ De Cicco Remu, a former teacher, asked by phone from Toronto. ‘Kids don’t express themselves with chalk or in cursive. Kids text.’ ”

Cops Who Flash Banged Infant’s Crib Are Blaming the Baby – by Joshua Krause, TheDailySheeple.com – “The act of sleeping in a room about to be breached by a SWAT team constituted “criminal” conduct on the part of the infant. At the very least, the infant was fully liable for the nearly fatal injuries inflicted on him when Habersham County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Long blindly heaved a flash-bang grenade – a “destructive device,” as described by the ATF, that when detonated burns at 2,000-3,500 degrees Fahrenheit – into the crib… Merely by being in that room, Bou-Bou had assumed the risk of coming under attack by a SWAT team. By impeding the trajectory of that grenade, rather than fleeing from his crib, Bou-Bou failed to “avoid the consequences” of that attack… In any case, Bou-Bou, along with his parents and his siblings, are fully and exclusively to blame for the injuries that nearly killed the child and left the family with more than one million dollars in medical bills.”

Sea_Ice_Extent-5-21-15Updated NASA Data: Global Warming Not Causing Any Polar Ice Retreat – by James Taylor, Forbes.com – “Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.. The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the “normal” baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.”

With Video: FBI Now Going Door-To-Door Interrogating Americans About Jade Helm Military Exercises: “We Follow Up With Anything Like That” – by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan.com – “Are you being watched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation because of your concerns about an overbearing government?.. The answer should be obvious given the nature of America’s budding surveillance state and a new video shows just how far law enforcement officials are willing to go to protect the Homeland from anyone who engages in the dissemination of ideas that are counter to the official narrative… As you’ll see in the footage below, if you show concern or are outspoken about the upcoming Jade Helm 15 military exercises, then you may be getting a personal home visit from the FBI.”

Five pieces of evidence suggesting that California drought may be a HAARP-manufactured event – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – From the video (below)“The oceans are dying because of increasing ultraviolet-B. The modern HAARP transmitters punch holes in the ozone layer, since they must drive a plasmoid from 30 miles high down to the jet stream… mixing the chemtrails vertically, which breaks down the protective ozone layer.”.. ‘The Pacific is dying because the base of the food chain, phyto-plankton, are being killed by the high UV-B, created by ionospheric heaters. Radiation from Fukushima is killing the Pacific, but not as fast as the lack of plankton, which can’t survive the high UV-B. Fukushima is being used as a ‘cover’ for the excess UV-B caused by HAARP and chemtrails. That would explain the complete lack of action to stop the radiation from leaking into the Pacific.”

‘Predate humans’: Stone tools made 3.3mn years ago found in Kenya – from RT.com – “The oldest stone tools previously known were 700,000 years old. New artefacts discovered in Kenya, however, make those seem like a relatively modern discovery… These stone tools are 3.3 million years old, an almost unfathomable length of time, and are ‘sophisticated enough’ to not be the first instance of such tools. Scientists who made the discovery believed they were used for tasks such as chopping wood and cracking open nuts… ‘We knew at the moment of discovery that they would be the oldest stone tools in the world,’ the Toronto Star quoted Lewis as saying. ‘Once the geological analyses came back later that year that in fact they were older than 3 million years, we were even more astonished…’ ”

Is This Global Drought Being Caused By The Systematic Destruction Of The Hydrologic Cycle? – By Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – “Trees play an absolutely critical role in our water cycle, and every single minute the amount of land that is deforested around the globe is equivalent to 36 football fields. By extracting water from the soil and releasing it into the atmosphere, trees provide a critical link in the hydrologic cycle that we all depend upon. If there were no more trees, life on this planet would become exceedingly difficult for humanity. So the fact that we are literally ripping the lungs out of the planet is a very big deal.”

Dzhokhar_Tsarnaev-woundedTsarnaev Case Judge: FBI Interview Reports Are Unreliable—And Cast in Stone – by James Henry, WhoWhatWhy.org – “…this creates “tremendous pressure” on a witness to testify “consistently with what the 302 report claims he told the agents when interviewed.” It works like this: ‘When the feds suspect that a witness might tell a tale at the grand jury or at trial that is inconsistent with the prosecution’s favored factual scenario, the prosecutors will usually show him or his lawyer the 302 report. It becomes clear to the witness that he either must stick to the 302 version, or else risk a false statement or perjury charge when he testifies differently under oath.’.. And as an example of the sort of “misleading” trickery that can be obscured by the FBI’s non-recording policy, interviewing agents are under no obligation to warn their interviewee, as arresting officers must in accord with the familiar “Miranda” rule: ‘anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.’ ”

KOSHER JIHAD: Israel’s Dirty War Props Up Islamic Militants In Syria – by 21Wire and Steven MacMillan, 21stCenturyWire.com – “Our detailed reports in April 2015, in February 2015, and in January 2015, in December 2014, and also in October 2014, all demonstrate a clear but disturbing pattern – of how the State of Israel’s intelligence and military apparatus is not only supporting Islamic militants inside Syria, but also working towards overthrow of President Bashar al Assad’s government in Damascus – a policy which is also in perfect alignment with Saudi Arabia and the GCC ‘coalition’.”

Dimona: Israel’s “Little Hiroshima” – by Richard Silverstein, CounterPunch.org – “In 1955, (David Ben Gurion) tasked his chief aide, Shimon Peres, with creating a nuclear program that would lead to building a nuclear weapon… The most critical part of this project was creating a nuclear reactor that would manufacture the fuel to make these weapons. In 1959, Israel began construction on its reactor in Dimona. Eventually, there were thousands of workers both building the plant and, once it was constructed, working within it to build the arsenal of 200 nuclear weapons Israel is reputed to possess. An excellent short overall history of the project can be found online here.”

Primary Water – A Solution to Droughts Worldwide?

Primary_Water_Inst-cyclesRare Diamond Confirms That Earth’s Mantle Holds an Ocean’s Worth of Water – The diamond contains ringwoodite, which is water-rich but only forms naturally under the extreme pressure found in Earth’s mantle – by Becky Oskin and LiveScience, ScientificAmerican.com – ” ‘It’s actually the confirmation that there is a very, very large amount of water that’s trapped in a really distinct layer in the deep Earth,’ said Graham Pearson, lead study author and a geochemist at the University of Alberta in Canada. The findings were published today (March 12) in the journal Nature… These laboratory studies suggest that olivine morphs into a variety of forms corresponding to the depth at which it is found. The new forms of crystal accommodate the increasing pressures. Changes in the speed of earthquake waves also support this model. Seismic waves suddenly speed up or slow down at certain depths in the mantle. Researcher think these speed zones arise from olivine’s changing configurations. For example, 323 to 410 miles (520 to 660 km) deep, between two sharp speed breaks, olivine is thought to become ringwoodite. But until now, no one had direct evidence that olivine was actually ringwoodite at this depth.” Link to Primary Water Institute.org

Obama-Dont_need_warThe New York Times Does Government’s Bidding: Here’s What You’re Not Being Told About U.S. Troops In Ukraine – U.S. troops are now operating openly in Ukraine. The “paper of record’s” “coverage” is an embarrassment, per usual – by Patrick L. Smith, InformationClearingHouse.info – “As of mid-April, when a Pentagon flack announced it in Kiev, and as barely reported in American media, U.S. troops are now operating openly in Ukraine… Now there is a lead I have long dreaded writing but suspected from the first that one day I would. Do not take a moment to think about this. Take many moments. We all need to. We find ourselves in grave circumstances this spring… At first I thought I had written what newspaper people call a double-barreled lead: American soldiers in Ukraine, American media not saying much about it. Two facts… Wrong. There is one fact now, and it is this: Americans are being led blindfolded very near the brink of war with Russia… One cannot predict there will be one. And, of course, right-thinking people hope things will never come to one. In March, President Obama dismissed any such idea as if to suggest it was silly. ‘They’re not interested in a military confrontation with us,’ Obama said of the Russians—wisely. Then he added, unwisely: ‘We don’t need a war.’… Don’t need a war to get what done, Mr. President? This is our question.” (emph. added)

Obama’s Petulant WWII Snub of Russia – Russia will celebrate the Allied victory over Nazism on Saturday without U.S. President Obama and other Western leaders present, as they demean the extraordinary sacrifice of the Russian people in winning World War II – a gesture intended to humiliate President Putin – by Ray McGovern, ActivistPost.com – “Though designed to isolate Russia because it had the audacity to object to the Western-engineered coup d’état in Ukraine on Feb. 22, 2014, this snub of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin – like the economic sanctions against Russia – is likely to backfire on the U.S. and its European allies by strengthening ties between Russia and the emerging Asian giants of China and India… Notably, the dignitaries who will show up at this important commemoration include the presidents of China and India, representing a huge chunk of humanity, who came to show respect for the time seven decades ago when the inhumanity of the Nazi regime was defeated – largely by Russia’s stanching the advance of Hitler’s armies, at a cost of 20 to 30 million lives… Obama’s boycott is part of a crass attempt to belittle Russia and to cram history itself into an anti-Putin, anti-Russian alternative narrative. It is difficult to see how Obama and his friends could have come up with a pettier and more gratuitous insult to the Russian people.”

US Security Chief Warns of ‘New Phase’ in Terrorist Threat – by VOA News via GlobalSecurity.org – “Speaking on ABC’s This Week program, Johnson said the Islamic State group’s influence is spreading far beyond the battlegrounds of the Middle East… ‘We’re very definitely in a new environment, because of ISIL’s (Islamic State group’s) effective use of social media, the Internet, which has the ability to reach into the homeland and possibly inspire others,’ he said. ‘We’re very definitely in a new phase in the global terrorist threat, where the so-called lone wolf could strike at any moment.’.. The U.S. security chief urged Americans to be vigilant and aware, but not to avoid going to public events… FBI Director James Comey last week said authorities are concerned about IS encouraging attacks on ‘uniformed military and law enforcement’ in online propaganda. There are ‘hundreds, maybe thousands’ of people in the United States who have received recruitment messages from the jihadists, Comey said… On Friday, the U.S. military bolstered security at its bases across the country… ‘Because of the use of the Internet, we could have little or no notice in advance of an independent actor attempting to strike. And so that’s why law enforcement at the local level needs to be ever more vigilant and we are constantly reminding them to do that,’ Johnson said.” OK, people, this is from Voice of America News – Hey, I thought it was illegal for the Feds to propagandize the American people? Guess not.

Glen_Beck-Set_up‘Before Long It Will All Be Over’ – Lights Out, Republic! – by Susan Duclos, AllNewsPipeline.com – “Those riots in Baltimore. That wasn’t real. How many times do we have to be told, most of the people are from out of town. All they need is one thing to get it started, that’s real: The shooting. Then all the people come from out of town, and they manipulate it and they wind everybody up and they get it rolling. Then they leave town and they go to the next one. And they go to the next one. And they go to the next one. And before long, it will all be over. And nothing will truly be solved. Is Ferguson solved? Has there been reconciliation in Ferguson? The answer is no. And because no reconciliation, there is a wound on both sides. Same thing in Baltimore. Is anything going to be solved in Baltimore? No. It will just calm down a bit. But there will be wounds on both sides. At some point, there will be a straw that breaks the camel’s back, and it will set the whole country on fire. And what happens? We will cry out for police help.”

Baltimore-Police_Van-intakeBaltimore jail refused to accept thousands of detainees for severe injuries: Records – from PressTV.ir – “The records indicated the Baltimore City Detention Center refused to admit almost 2,600 injured detainees who were in police custody between June 2012 and April 2015, the Baltimore Sun reported… Some 123 of the detainees reportedly had visible head injuries which is the third-most common ailment cited by prison officials. The other detainees had broken bones, facial trauma and high blood pressure… Detainees are constitutionally guaranteed healthcare before they are booked into jail… The records, however, do not show how the people were injured or whether they suffered their wounds while in custody, suggesting that police officers either ignored or did not notice the injuries.”

U.S. Research Lab Lets Livestock Suffer in Quest for Profit – Animal Welfare at Risk in Experiments for Meat Industry – by Michael Moss, NYTimes.com – “These experiments are not the work of a meat processor or rogue operation. They are conducted by a taxpayer-financed federal institution called the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, a complex of laboratories and pastures that sprawls over 55 square miles in Clay Center, Neb. Little known outside the world of big agriculture, the center has one overarching mission: helping producers of beef, pork and lamb turn a higher profit as diets shift toward poultry, fish and produce… But an investigation by The New York Times shows that these endeavors have come at a steep cost to the center’s animals, which have been subjected to illness, pain and premature death, over many years. The research to increase pig litters began in 1986; the twin calves have been dying at high rates since 1984, and the easy care lambs for 10 years.”

190 Scientists & Experts Urge UN to Deal with Emerging Wireless Public Health Crisis – by Stop Smart Meters UK, ActivistPost.com – “190 scientists from 38 nations have submitted the International EMF Scientist Appeal to the United Nations, UN member states and the World Health Organization (WHO) requesting they adopt more protective exposure guidelines for electromagnetic fields (EMF) and wireless technology in the face of increasing evidence of risk from this rapidly increasing environmental pollutant… The scientists who have signed the Appeal have collectively published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on the biological or health effects of non-ionizing radiation. It was submitted on 11 may 2015 to His Excellency Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to Dr. Margaret Chan, MD, Director General of the World Health Organization, and to the United Nations Member States.” – w/video

Amazing Discovery: Plant Blood Enables Your Cells To Capture Sunlight Energy – by Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo.com – “First, green vegetables and their juices should no longer viewed simply as sources of antioxidants, alphabetic vitamins, nutrients, minerals etc., but carriers of essential mitochondrial cofactors without which our body can not optimally and efficiently produce ATP, and without which our body can not realize its biological potential for maximal longevity. Of course, if you have been long time followers , you know we also look at ancestral foods (i.e. those which have been in the human diet for over 10,000 years) as highly dense and vitally important sources of biologically useful information which have become indispensable regulators of gene expression. This means that when you are consuming a glass of green vegetable juice, for instance, it is likely the most precious health promoting elixir on the planet and should be considered something of a nutritional ‘bridge’ we, heterotrophs, can cross to become photoheterophic or light-capturing organisms, if we choose to be.”

Prince_Mohammed_bin_SalmanRejoice With The ‘New’ House of Saud – by Pepe Escobar, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Let’s start with the “youthful” Prince Mohammed bin Salman (What’s not to like? Fawning western hagiographers gleefully speculate over his age like he’s a precious damsel in distress, not a black-bearded hunk. Anything goes, but not upwards of 35.).. The Royal Youthful “wields enormous power” and as defense minister has been prosecuting the (illegal) bombing/war/”kinetic operation” on Yemen. The king himself vaunted his “massive capabilities”. Saudi sources tell me he’s been a (incompetent) cross of Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, with no Austin Powers to save his day. Although he’s a pop star and a TV celebrity inside the Mob hacienda, he’s convinced absolutely no one – from Egypt to Pakistan – to send troops to “his” war… For his new No. 3 role, according to the official spin, he gained ‘support from the vast majority of members of the Council of Allegiance.’ The operative word here is “vast majority.” This implies Muqrin’s people were a tad uncomfortable. The Council of Allegiance is a group of 35 descendants of the Mob founder, King Abdul Aziz bin Saud.”

Conspiracy Theory as a Personality Disorder? – The treatment of “conspiracy theories” by the US intelligentsia is reminiscent of the Soviet commissions that labeled political dissidents mentally ill – by Kerry R Bolton, ForeignPolicyJournal.com – “While social mores have been established to make dissidents pariahs, to impose a soft totalitarianism of the Huxleyan Brave New World variety, social scientists remain occupied with creating new approaches for the continuing de-legitimizing of dissident opinions. Among the primary targets are those who have in recent years been termed “conspiracists.” The term is used to induce a pavlonian reflex in nullifying dissident views on a range of subjects, like the words “racist, “fascist,” “sexist,” etc. Any hint of “conspiracism” in a paper is also sufficient to prevent it from even reaching the initial stage of peer review if submitted to a supposedly academic journal, where one might expect a range of views to be debated… Recently a group of psychologists studying the allegedly contradictory nature of conspiracy beliefs were able to furnish mind-manipulators with a study that can be used to show that anything associated with or labelled as “conspiracy theory” can be relegated to the realm of mental imbalance. The paper was published as ‘Dead and Alive: Beliefs in Contradictory Conspiracy Theories.’ “

Softkill-Toxic-Planet-300x15911 Common Symptoms of the Global Depopulation Slow Kill – by Sigmund Fraud, WakingTimes.com – “Make what you will out of these statements, but the fact remains that globally, human health and the environment are in critical condition and there is no sign of relief in sight. Couple this with the fact that many of the world’s elite do publicly fantasize of culling the human population, and the realization is harsh: we are targets… Our world simply does not have to be poisoned with chemtrails, radiation leaks, GMO’s, electro-magnetic pollution, frack wells, fluoride, mercury, vaccine adjuvants, depleted uranium, oil spills, antibiotics, endocrine disrupting chemicals, toxic food additives, agro-chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and so much more. The aggregated, generations long effect of such total contamination is the explosion of a host of bizarre and life-altering illnesses and ‘conditions,’ that chronically sap our energy and vitality, slowly debilitating us, separating us from our power and putting us into the doctor’s office.”

Common_Core-Kids-smParents Charge Education Officials with Bullying, Cover-Ups over Refusal of Common Core Tests – by Dr. Susan Berry, Breitbart.com – “(Tamra Hood) added: ‘Rather than lying about what was said and attempting to disparage the character of those who exposed the truth, it would be wiser for Superintendent Spearman to make a public statement denouncing the threats made by her COO, apologize to the parents of South Carolina, and fire Ms. Carpentier.’.. (Sheri) Few said Carpentier’s attitude reflects the sentiment of education elitists who have no regard for parents and treat them in a condescending manner… ‘This shameful attitude, and the blatant disregard for parental concerns, is what motivated the movement to refuse the test,’ (Few) continued. ‘The simple fact is, the test that parents are refusing is aligned with Common Core, and most parents are motivated to refuse because the system continues to ignore their disapproval of the Common Core standards.’ ”

Obamacare-Gonna_HurtAfter Expanding Under Obamacare, This 123-Year-Old Insurance Company Is Closing Its Doors – by Melissa Quinn, DailySignal.com – “Assurant Inc. announced last week one of its subsidiaries, Assurant Health, an insurance company, will either be sold or shuttered after losing tens of millions of dollars this year. The decision comes 18 months after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and industry watchers argue Assurant Health’s end can be attributed to the new health care law… ‘The health and employee benefits business segments possess differentiated capabilities in their respective markets, but we do not believe they can meet our return targets at the pace we require,’ Alan Colberg, president of Assurant Inc., said in a statement. ‘While this is a difficult decision, we believe they would be strong assets for new owners that are focused more exclusively on health care and employee benefits.’.. In a letter to its shareholders, Assurant Health said it lost money because of a reduction in recoveries under Obamacare’s risk mitigation programs and increased claims on the health care law’s 2015 policies.”

Is The New World Order Dying? 10 Recent Headlines Offer Hope – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “This global paradigm shift does not, however, prevent the control system from continuing their attempt to march toward a new world order of global tyranny. Nothing will stop this control system except the expiration date they are all on now. Everything that they are doing will expire at some point. Soldiers who are part of the system will all have to make a moral decision to either follow illegal orders or to follow their conscience. There are too many factors contributing to the slow death of the new world order to mention here. Their death is real and we should keep focused on this slow process in order to remind ourselves to keep fighting the good fight and that everything we do to make others more aware is paying off.”

Pay-to-Stay-CellOrange County family paid $72K to keep son in upgraded jail cell after he killed girl while drunk driving – by Tom Boggioni, RawStory.com – “In Anaheim, inmates in the city’s pay-to-stay jail program are able to check out their own DVD players for their cell, and work out in a nice gym for a price… The city of Fullerton offers one upgraded cell where inmates who can afford the $127 a night gets their own TV, a telephone in the cell, and a personal full-size refrigerator… ‘Bottom line — if you don’t have the money, you’re not going to be able to stay,’ explained Det. Laura Lomeli, who added that the cells are for ‘Good people who made a mistake, made a bad choice — and they have to pay the consequences.’.. According to Peter Eliasberg, legal director for the ACLU of Southern California, ‘What a terrible idea. What a slap in the face for the concept of equal justice for all. If it’s a public service — that should be offered to everyone regardless of their ability to pay.’ ”

Another Brazen Challenge to the Federal Govt’s Insane Marijuana Laws, From a Most Unlikely Place – Puerto Rico becomes the second US territory to legalize medical marijuana, along with 23 states and the District of Columbia – by Phillip Smith, Alternet.org – “Puerto Rican Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla Sunday signed an executive order legalizing medical marijuana. The move comes after years of discussion in the US island territory… Under the order, the Puerto Rico Health Department is enabled to authorize the use of marijuana and its derivatives for health reasons. The order directs the secretary of health to produce a report laying out rules and regulations for the new system within 90 days… ‘We’re taking a significant step in the area of health that is fundamental to our development and quality of life,’ Gov. Garcia said in a statement. ‘I am sure that many patients will receive appropriate treatment that will offer them new hope.’ ”

Tony_Abbot-Got-yer-CashAustralia First to Introduce a Compulsory Tax on Money Itself – by Martin Armstrong, ArmstrongEconomics.com – “The new compulsory control is provided in the 2015 Australian budget, so that everyone who has any savings must pay taxes on their savings. The measure is expected to serve as a global test balloon for Europe and North America, who will watch for the outcome in Australia. If there is no massive resistance of Australian savers, the rest of the world should expect this outright confiscation very rapidly… Tony Abbot has proven to be a real Marxist. He is taking the Australian people into the economic abyss from which only war and bloodshed can emerge. This is really Atlas Shrugged in high gear. The Abbot government will introduce its draft budget for 2015 tax on savings and it will announce this measure before the formal decision on the budget… Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that the new tax is all about relieving families and small businesses…” – Yeah, of their cash.

Suicide Mission: Why a War With Iran Will End in Another Defeat for the U.S. Military Machine – by Timothy Alexander Guzman. RINF.com – “First, Iran is at least three times the population than Iraq was before the US invasion in 2003 which at least 1.4 million Iraqi deaths occurred. Iran is twice the size of the Ukraine. There are various estimates that the U.S. military would need at least 2 million troops on the ground to contain Iran which it does not have. The military’s drone and ballistic missile technology along with its Air Force would not come close to dominating Iranian air space because they will use their S-300 air defense missile systems which they will receive from Russia. Russia recently decided to lift its ban from delivering the missile defense system to Iran which can repel any air attack although the Iranian military already has its own defense systems. Iran also has the Khalij-e Fars anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM). The ASBM is a component of its defensive capabilities which is often called the “carrier-killer,” a solid-fuel, supersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile with a range of about 300 km or 186 miles that carries a 1,400 pound warhead that can sink U.S. naval carriers. Something U.S. Naval personnel should fear.”

Stephen_Lendman2Ukraine – A US-Supported Fascist Cancer in Europe’s Heartland – by Stephen Lendman, Rense.com – “Fascist regimes don’t negotiate. They demand. Kiev and its US puppet master want unconditional Donbass surrender… They want nationwide fascist rule. They deplore democratic rights. They’ll continue waging dirty war to eliminate them entirely nationwide. Expect lots more death and destruction ahead… Moscow expressed concern about blatant Kiev Minsk breaches – especially recent heavy shelling of Donetsk… According to DPR officials, residential areas were targeted. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged OSCE chairman Ivica Dacic to intervene responsibly to halt Kiev aggression… Moscow’s Foreign Ministry wants OSCE monitors to ‘demand that Kiev immediately stop a flagrant violation of the Minsk agreements.’.. Donetsk Mayor Igor Martynov said residential buildings and a school were struck… OSCE’s Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) is expected to visit the targeted area on Sunday to assess what happened… Its latest report explained deteriorating conditions ‘involving live fire (by Ukrainian forces) near and at SMM patrols.’.. It bears repeating what previous articles explained. Minsk was dead on arrival.”

Starving_Sea_LionsStarving sea lions now fight U.S. fishermen for food as West Coast ecosystem collapses – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “In fact, a fisherman recently had a violent altercation with a sea lion at a San Diego marina. As he was holding a large fish and posing for a picture, a sea lion jumped from the water, hopped on deck and lunged at the man and his prized catch. The sea lion effectively took the fish and pulled the man into the ocean. Authorities said the man was injured. San Diego Fire Rescue spokesman Lee Swanson reported that the violent altercation resulted in the fisherman being carried underwater for 15 breathtaking seconds. When the man was rescued, he was taken to a local hospital and treated for cuts on his arm and hand.”

AT&T will now charge customers for opting out of internet surveillance – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “A closer look at the service, however, reveals that GigaPower subscribers who choose to opt out of the Internet Preferences advertising scheme will actually pay more than just a $29 premium. According to calculations made by Higginbotham, opt-outers will actually spend as much as $62 more per month to avoid having their browsing habits sold by AT&T to third-party advertisers… What AT&T doesn’t clearly explain on its convoluted pricing page is that opt-outers will be forced to pay an additional $7-per-month modem rental fee as well as a $99 one-time activation fee for the service, both fees of which are waived for customers who sign up under the Internet Preference Plan. This nets out to a monthly cost of $114 for opt-outers as opposed to the $70-per-month rate plan for Internet Preference Plan subscribers, a $44 difference.”

Bill-C51-Canada-Police-State-400x332Canada’s Fascist Shift – by Mark Taliano, GlobalResearch.ca – “Bill C-51 also subverts the rule of law by using poorly defined words that could be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Megan Drysdale explains in ‘The Top 6 ways You Will Be Affected By Bill C-51’ that “innocent words” could be “interpreted as terrorism”: ‘Innocent words can be interpreted as terrorism. 
Bill C-51 broadens the scope of propagation crimes to include advocating or promoting ‘terrorism offences in general.’ The wording of the bill is broad enough that a terrorist purpose is not required. Speaking privately about solutions to controversial conflicts or debating an academic opinion that ‘may’ cause a listener to commit a terrorist offence could count as an indictable offence for you, regardless of your own intentions. ‘Being reckless,’ as the bill describes it, can lead to up to five years in prison.’.. Theoretically, then, an individual who exercises his/her freedom of dissent, and freedom to resist could be falsely branded in catch-all terms such as “terrorism”, or “espionage”, or even “treason”… Government intentions revealed themselves in November, 2011 when NDP MPs Megan Leslie and Claude Gravelle were accused of treachery for travelling to Washington to communicate the NDP position regarding the tar sands. Leslie explained that they went ‘to propose a sustainable jobs strategy under a long term green energy future and to let her American interlocutors know there are Canadians who want tougher regulation of the tar sands.’ ”

Surveillance planes spotted in the sky for days after West Baltimore rioting – by Craig Timberg, WashingtonPost.com – “The plane appeared to be a small Cessna, but little else was clear. The sun had already set, making traditional visual surveillance difficult. So, perplexed, Shayne tweeted: ‘Anyone know who has been flying the light plane in circles above the city for the last few nights?’.. That was 9:14 p.m. Seven minutes later came a startling reply. One of Shayne’s nearly 600 followers tweeted back a screen shot of the Cessna 182T’s exact flight path and also the registered owner of the plane: NG Research, based in Bristow, Va… ‘The Internet,’ Shayne, 39, told his wife, ‘is an amazing thing.’ ”

The War on Cash: Transparently Totalitarian – by Nick Giambruno, InternationalMan.com – “It’s exactly like what Ron Paul said: ‘The cashless society is the IRS’s dream: total knowledge of, and control over, the finances of every single American.’.. One way they are waging the War on Cash is to lower the threshold at which reporting a cash transaction is mandatory or at which paying in cash is simply illegal. In just the last few years… ● Italy made cash transactions over €1,000 illegal; ● Switzerland has proposed banning cash payments in excess of 100,000 francs; ● Russia banned cash transactions over $10,000; ● Spain banned cash transactions over €2,500; ● Mexico made cash payments of more than 200,000 pesos illegal; ● Uruguay banned cash transactions over $5,000; and ● France made cash transactions over €1,000 illegal, down from the previous limit of €3,000.”

Jordan-Special_ForcesUS-Jordan war games prepare wider Mideast conflict – by Patrick Martin, WSWS.org – “According to the Monitor, ‘Jordan is reaching out to Syrian tribes and civilians. It’s offering support in their fight to regain towns and villages overrun by IS—a preemptive step to prevent jihadists from threatening Jordan’s borders.’ Jordan has offered air support from the US-led coalition that is bombing ISIS targets in both Syria and Iraq… Perfecting his technique of telling barefaced lies to reporters who know he is lying and take dictation anyway, General Mattson declared, ‘Eager Lion has nothing to do with what is currently happening in the region,’ a reference to ongoing US-led or US-backed military operations in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, the Strait of Hormuz and across North Africa.”

Iraq minorities rise against US plot to divide Iraq – from PressTV.ir – “In a phone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi denounced the bill, saying he is opposed to such a plan which is aimed at weakening the unity of Iraq… ‘This scenario is not new, it goes back to 2007 and 2008 when [then Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee] Joe Biden said that Iraq must be divided into three states; Kurdish, Shia and Sunni. Now other countries are trying to impose this project and control this situation in Iraq,’ Najem Qassab, an Iraqi political analyst, told Press TV on Saturday… Influential Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has warned against the bill , saying that if the bill is passed, Iraq will no longer be a safe place for the US, and its interests will become the target of attacks by the Iraqis who will never accept the ‘division of their country.’ ”

UN’s Solution to Nepalese Children Displaced by Earthquake? Vaccinate Them! – by Adan Salazar, PrisonPlanet.com – “Claiming a measles epidemic could sweep through temporary makeshift villages erected in the wake of the earthquake, Nepal’s Ministry of Health and Population, alongside Unicef and WHO workers, ‘scrambled medical teams to the most densely populated areas to start vaccinating under-fives against measles…’.. In a statement Monday, Nepalese Unicef Representative Tomoo Hozumi said the squalid state of tent cities provides optimal conditions for the contagion to spread… ‘Measles is very contagious and can potentially be deadly,’ Hozumi said, adding that only one in 10 Nepalese children remain unvaccinated… ‘We fear it could spread very quickly in the often crowded conditions in the improvised camps where many children are living.’.. Hozumi said ‘teams will be sent to vaccinate children under the age of five in informal shelters in Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur, which are three of the most crowded districts in Kathmandu Valley,’..

Whooping Cough ‘Invades’ the Vaccinated – by Catherine J. Frompovich, NaturalBlaze.com – “Herd immunity! Where have I heard that idiomatic, epidemiologic term before? Oh yes! It’s the U.S. CDC and FDA’s Raison de’ Être for vaccines. Recent demographics for pertussis, or whooping cough, coming out of Washington state prove that herd immunity is nothing short of bunko science, and that Big Pharma’s vaccines really don’t work, or medically speaking, aren’t efficacious.”

Kill-Anything-That-MovesLargest Known U.S. Vietnam War Atrocity – But Ignored by U.S. News Media – by DC Dave, Buelahman.wordpress.com – “Because of the general blackout, there’s a pretty good chance that many people even so far off the establishment reservation as to be reading my material are learning about the Winter Soldier Investigation for the first time right now. The fact of the matter is that U.S. military tactics in Vietnam, in their wanton destructiveness and ineffectiveness, were very much like a person attempting to swat flies in a house using a sledgehammer… Upon closer examination we see that Adam Taylor’s revealing article is not so anomalous as it first appears. It would, indeed, have been amazing to read such revelations in the pages of The Washington Post, but it never appeared among its pages. In what has become an ever more frequently used tactic of buying credibility without spreading useful information widely, The Post only put the Taylor article on its website, and, in all likelihood, they buried it away there.”

Google’s highly profitable secret war against small businesses and jobs – by Tom Foremski, GovtSlaves.info – “Google’s strategy is to set itself up as the largest affiliate and displace the hundreds of thousands of small businesses that make money from affiliate marketing. It wants to be the main affiliate for online sales of branded products and that’s why its organic search results heavily favor large companies — the brand owners… But this strategy comes at a significant cost — lost jobs as it displaces the smaller firms. It’s not a cost to Google but it is to society… That’s not a good scenario in today’s hard economic times, it’s a PR nightmare for Google to be seen as anti-small business and causing job losses… Small companies don’t have a much of a voice in Washington DC and Google knows this. It has been careful not to antagonize the large brand owners, reports one of my contacts, the CEO of a large company that relies on AdSense revenues, because they have lobbyists and they could add their voices to complaints about Google’s business practices… Google, however, is working hard to keep the US government out of its business. This year it dramatically stepped up its lobbying efforts, hiring more firms and spending a record amount on political influence.”

Israeli defense minister promises to kill more civilians and threatens to nuke Iran – by Asa Winstanley, ElectronicIntifada.net – “Speaking at a conference in Jerusalem, Yaalon threatened that ‘we are going to hurt Lebanese civilians to include kids of the family. We went through a very long deep discussion … we did it then, we did it in [the] Gaza Strip, we are going to do it in any round of hostilities in the future.’.. The Israeli official also appeared to threaten to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran, although he said ‘we are not there yet.’.. In response to a question about Iran, Yaalon said that “in certain cases” when ‘we feel like we don’t have the answer by surgical operations’ Israel might take “certain steps” such as the Americans did in ‘Nagasaki and Hiroshima, causing at the end the fatalities of 200,000.’ ”

Israeli MP Accused of Inciting Palestinian Genocide Named Justice Minister – from SputnikNews.com – “Known for her outspoken and ultra-nationalistic views, Shaked attracted global attention and criticism in July 2014, when she posted a Facebook status denouncing Palestinians, during Israel’s 50-day military offensive in Gaza: ‘The Palestinian people [have] declared war on us, and we must respond with war. Not an operation, not a slow-moving one, not low-intensity, not controlled escalation, no destruction of terror infrastructure, no targeted killings.’ ”

Denmark moves step closer to being a cashless country – Danish government proposes getting rid of the obligation for certain retailers to accept payment in cash – from Reuters via Telegraph.co.uk – “Nearly a third of the Danish population uses MobilePay, a smartphone application for transferring money to other phones and shops, and Sweden, Denmark and Finland lead the European Union in credit card payments per inhabitant… The Danish government said as of next year, businesses such as clothing retailers, petrol stations and restaurants should no longer be legally-bound to accept cash… The proposal is part of a pre-election package of economic growth measures aimed at reducing costs and increasing productivity for businesses. It would need to be approved by parliament, although the timing of a vote is as yet unknown… The proposal is unlikely to meet much opposition in Denmark, where it is common to use debit or credit cards for the smallest of payments.”

Chipotle-DeceptionChipotle Bans GMOs; Media Goes into Full Propaganda Damage Control Mode
– Daisy Luther, NutritionalAnarchy.com – “Even the LA Times article admits that only 1/3 of Americans believe that GMOs are safe to eat. If that is the case, then shouldn’t Chipotle be lauded for the business decision of giving the customers what they want? Apparently not, as the op-ed laughably follows that statement with this accusation (Emphasis [below] mine): ‘But in misrepresenting the science surrounding a poorly understood innovation, Chipotle joins the too-populous ranks of companies that endeavor to deceive the public. Chipotle stokes the anti-GMO hysteria that threatens to marginalize a field of science that already has demonstrated important benefits. These include boosting nutrient density of staple crops for the poor, enhancing crop resiliency to climatic extremes and equipping subsistence farmers in the developing world with cash crops.’.. Um, pot, this is kettle. I thought you should meet… One has to pay attention when a sound business decision by any MBA school standard results in such a flurry of propagandized damage control. Personally, it all just makes me hungry for a non-GMO Chipotle taco.” (emphasis at top added)

Who Attempted the Covert Sterilization of Mexican School Children with Vaccines in 1974? – by Melissa Dykes, TruthStreamMedia.com – “Coercive sterilizations under the banner of “family planning” were taking place all over the globe that year. The U.S. government was also exposed for having funded sterilizations on minorities, poor women, people who were mentally ill, deaf or blind, those with Epilepsy and others who were considered “unfit,” to have babies. This even included little kids who it was deemed should never have children of their own. In April 1974, it came to light in the papers that the government had sterilized of some 1,204 girls and boys all under the age of 21 at federally funded clinics across the country. These figures included a ten year old, an eleven year old, and ten 13 year olds. Making sure people couldn’t readily reproduce and propagandizing infertility as an Earth saving measure in the face of (artificial) scarcity was the order of the day. And that’s how the government (treated) its own people, let alone those in Kissinger’s 13 key countries as Mexico definitely was.”

Princes-of-FinanceWall Street Titans Who Crashed Global Economy in 2008 Go Big for TPP – As billionaire class and financial elites push corporate-friendly pact, new data shows empty promises and ‘job-killing’ reality of previous agreements – by Jon Queally, CommonDreams.org – “News of the letter, which can be read in full here, came on the same day as new trade data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, covering the full first three years of the bilateral trade deal between the U.S. and South Korea, revealed that the U.S. goods trade deficit with that country has more than doubled since the agreement, first signed in 2007 and amended in 2010, was implemented… What the new data shows, according to the advocacy group Public Citizen, is economic outcomes that are the opposite of the Obama administration’s “more exports, more jobs” promise used to push through that deal, which are the same promises the administration and those supporting TPP are now using as they attempt to persuade Congress to approve Fast Track authority and ram it through Congress without debate or amendment.”

Trust in mainstream media plummets: Only 2% of young adults trust the media – by Daniel Barker, NaturalNews.com – “While doing research for another article, I ran across a piece posted by Investment Research Dynamics in which Bloomberg.com was taken to task for publishing spurious information regarding the health of the U.S. housing market… The first paragraph of the I.R.D. article sums up the situation perfectly: ‘There was time in U.S. history when journalism reflected true investigative due diligence in which reporters made an effort to verify the validity of the topic being covered and to make a bona fide attempt to report facts. It is a process that is imperative to a healthy democracy. Unfortunately now the media is nothing more than an avenue for Wall Street, corporate America and political elites to promote false realities which are invariably connected to squeezing or stealing money from the public.’.. Bingo. I couldn’t have said it any better.”

BIS On Build Up of Financial Imbalances—-Achilles Heel Of Global Economy – by Constantin Gurdgiev, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “There is a scary, fully frightening presentation out there. Titled “The international monetary and financial system: Its Achilles heel and what to do about it” and authored by Claudio Borio of the Bank for International Settlements, it was delivered at the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) ‘2015 Annual Conference: Liberté, Égalité, Fragilité’ Paris, on 8-11 April 2015.Per Borio, the Achilles heel of the global economy is the fact that international monetary and financial system (IMFS) ‘amplifies weakness of domestic monetary and financial regimes’…”

Manmade warming hypothesis? What’s a hypothesis? – by JonRappoport.wordpress.com – “Among scientists, there is a great deal of disagreement about the accuracy of the measurements. Any fair examination of studies and their critics will reveal that… In this regard, the science is not settled. Far from it… So: useless as a hypothesis, the assertion of manmade warming, as fact, is wide open to debate. To say the least… Students, starting at, say, the age of 12, should be taught basic facts about hypotheses, how they function in science, and on what basis they should be accepted or rejected… Then we would have far less ignorance and chaotic “debate” and partisan screaming about science… Except for the scientists themselves, of course—those who are on someone’s payroll and are expected to falsify everything they touch on behalf of that special interest… An educated public would go a long way toward laughing those professional liars out of court… Which is why universities (who sell themselves to those liars’ bosses) don’t teach logic or the basic structure of science.”

Tanaieah-n-Aaron_ManeyWhistleblowers Reveal CPS Child Kidnappings in Kentucky Adoption Business – from MedicalKidnap.com – “Next, Boel interviews another CPS whistleblower, but one who wanted to keep her identity concealed because she was so afraid of retaliation. The former CPS worker explains how CPS is all about statistics, about how many children can be placed into adoption, since State and Federal reimbursement funds are all tied into statistics. She explains that CPS workers are encouraged to put more children into adoption… She even relates one story of how someone who could not have children “placed an order” for a baby: ‘Someone could not have a child and wanted a child. So, within the community this certain person saw a family that was in distress, was having a hard time, and relayed to (CPS) workers that they would like those children. And that is exactly what is happening….’ ”

World-on-Fire-questionTop scientists start to examine fiddled global warming figures – The Global Warming Policy Foundation has enlisted an international team of five distinguished scientists to carry out a full inquiry – by Christopher Booker, Telegraph.co.uk – ” Last month, we are told, the world enjoyed “its hottest March since records began in 1880”. This year, according to “US government scientists”, already bids to outrank 2014 as “the hottest ever”. The figures from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were based, like all the other three official surface temperature records on which the world’s scientists and politicians rely, on data compiled from a network of weather stations by NOAA’s Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN)… But here there is a puzzle. These temperature records are not the only ones with official status. The other two, Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama (UAH), are based on a quite different method of measuring temperature data, by satellites. And these, as they have increasingly done in recent years, give a strikingly different picture. Neither shows last month as anything like the hottest March on record, any more than they showed 2014 as “the hottest year ever”. ”

THIS IS WHAT COMMUNIST COMMON CORE/THE REAUTHORIZATION OF ESEA IS ALL ABOUT – by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, ABCsOfDumbDown.blogspot.com – “The Los Ange­les Times, June 12, 1987 reported that Dr. David Ham­burg, Pres­i­dent of the Carnegie Cor­po­ra­tion and chief nego­tia­tor for the exchange agree­ment “stressed the spe­cial posi­tion of pri­vately endowed foun­da­tions that can oper­ate in areas gov­ern­ment may pre­fer to avoid.” (Empha­sis added)… In other words, it’s ille­gal for the U.S. Dept. of Edu­ca­tion to develop cur­ricu­lum for local schools, but it’s OK for the tax-exempt, pri­vate Carnegie Cor­po­ra­tion act­ing as an unelected “Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion” to coop­er­ate with the Soviet Union, in the devel­op­ment of cur­ricu­lum for local schools. Why was the Carnegie Cor­po­ra­tion selected? Amer­ica must be told.

Poor_in_America5 Ways It’s Become a Crime to Be Poor in America, Punishable by Further Impoverishment – New report details perverse policies that are driving more people into hopeless, inescapable poverty – by Terrell Jermaine Starr, Alternet.org – “While indigent people have a right to free counsel in some cases, more municipalities are requiring an ‘application fee’ of at least $50 to pay for a public defender,” Karen Dolan, a co-author of the study, told AlterNet via email. “Many poor people with misdemeanor charges end up before a judge without legal representation and do not understand their rights. Without legal representation, poor people often don’t understand that they ought not to be offered ‘jail or probation’ simply for debt, and they choose probation. They unwittingly enter into a potential dungeon of debt due to the huge fees charged by private probation companies and inability to pay those eventually—illegally—leads to jail anyway.”

New Tech to Watch: Automated Vehicle Occupancy Detection – by Dave Maass, EFF.org – “Whether you’re a local journalist or citizen watchdog, add Automated Vehicle Occupancy/Passenger Detection to your vocabulary. In the coming months and years, look for it in procurement documents and committee agendas. Ask for related documents in your routine public records requests. As with all street-level surveillance technology, citizens have more power to influence policy when they discover the tech in its infancy, rather than fighting to dial back its use after it has been integrated into everyday police operations.”

Camp_Fema-1Texas Ranger Drops Jade Helm Bombshell: “There Are Trains With Shackles On Them” – by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan.com – “We expecting an attack on more than one Texas city or town by ISIS and/or any of their partners. I believe the information to be accurate. However, this makes the covert operations of groups like the Navy Seals and others under JH15 highly suspicious. We do not need the insertion of Special Ops into Texas towns and cities. I think that you are probably right about the intention of arresting political undesirables given what we know about JH15. I am of the opinion that whatever the mission objectives of JH15, they have nothing to do with the immediate threat. Therefore, I do not pretend to understand the full scope of JH 15 because there are unfolding operational details which are almost impossible to reconcile with what I already know to be fact based the evidence for what is going on.”

Lancet medical journal under attack for ‘extremist hate propaganda’ over its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – by Jeremy Laurance, Independent.co.uk – “The Lancet and its editor, Richard Horton, have been targeted over what the group claims is the “grossly irresponsible misuse of [the journal] for political purposes”. The controversy was sparked by an article deemed to be critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza… The protesting doctors, including five Nobel laureates as well as Lord Winston, the broadcaster and IVF pioneer, style themselves “concerned academics”, and accuse the journal of publishing ‘stereotypical extremist hate propaganda”. They also accuse the journal’s owner, the publishing firm Reed Elsevier, of “profiting from the publication of dishonest and malicious material that incites hatred and violence’.”

3_hurricanes-nasa-andrew-sequenceThree Hurricanes Are Headed Our Way (And There’s Nowhere To Hide) – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “The issue is no longer whether the current market resembles those preceding the 1929, 1969-70, 1973-74, and 1987 crashes. The issue is only – are conditions more like October of 1929, or more like April? Like October of 1987, or more like July? If the latter, then over the short term, arrogant imprudence will continue to be mistaken for enlightened genius, while studied restraint will be mistaken for stubborn foolishness. We can’t rule out further gains, but those gains will turn bitter… Let’s not be shy: regardless of short-term action, we ultimately expect the S&P 500 to fall by more than half, and the Nasdaq by two-thirds. Don’t scoff without reviewing history first.” – Hussman Econometrics, February 9, 2000

Super El Nino Likely as Huge Warm Water Wave Hits West Coast, Extreme Marine Die Off Developing – by “FishOutofWater” (George Birchard), DailyKos.com – “In early March, the strongest wave of tropical convection ever measured (known as the Madden Julian Oscillation) by modern meteorology moved into the western Pacific from Indonesian waters bringing an outbreak of 3 tropical cyclones, including deadly category 5 Pam which ravaged the south Pacific islands of Vanuatu. This extreme outburst of tropical storms and organized thunderstorms pulled strong westerly winds across the equator, unleashing a huge surge of warm water below the ocean surface. Normally, trade winds blow warm water across the Pacific from the Americas to Australia and Indonesia, pushing up sea level in the west Pacific. When the trade winds suddenly reversed to strong westerlies, it was as if a dam burst, but on the scale of the earth’s largest ocean, the Pacific. The front edge of that massive equatorial wave, called a Kelvin wave, is now coming ashore on the Americas.” – This dramatic and confusion piece of “climate” propaganda comes from a dedicated member of the global social engineering nexus – not a hint about Geoengineering to be found.

Are We Being Psychologically Conditioned To Accept Martial Law In America? – by Michael Snyder – EndOfTheAmericanDream.com – “When school let out that afternoon, police were in the area equipped with full riot gear. According to eyewitnesses in the Mondawmin neighborhood, the police were stopping busses and forcing riders, including many students who were trying to get home, to disembark. Cops shut down the local subway stop. They also blockaded roads near the Mondawmin Mall and Frederick Douglass High School, which is across the street from the mall, and essentially corralled young people in the area. That is, they did not allow the after-school crowd to disperse.”

Here We Stand, At The Twilight’s Last Gleaming: “All Private Property Rights In The U.S. To Be Strategically Usurped” – by Jeremiah Johnson, SHTFPlan.com – “Incrementally. With infinite patience and weighing the public consciousness (or lack of such) to inculcate their programs, and here we have it again, in Montana, paving the way for what will happen with the nation. Eminent domain abolished private property, effectively making the definition of it subjective. Private property is now completely defined by the federal government or the “tyranny of the majority” (De Toqueville), the latter in the form of a somber “grand council.”.. The feds, states, and the local councils determine the need to take away private property and then come out with the proclamation, ‘This is for the public good,’ or in ‘the interests of the general public.’ Mr. Spock on steroids, where ‘the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…or the needs of the one.’ ”

soros-baltimoreBaltimore Riots: A Product Of The Soros Machine – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “With this in mind, one might justifiably ask how these organizations might have such an effective network that operates in concert with a national corporate media apparatus in order to wreck legitimate movements and, out of those movements, create a counter-productive act of mindless fit-throwing?.. The answer is the same as it has often been in Europe – the color revolution apparatus and George Soros… Indeed, George Soros has been heavily involved in the social unrest and movement-wrecking activity that has taken place all across the United States in recent months. From Florida to Ferguson and now to Baltimore, George Soros’ Foundations have been involved in making sure that not only are American citizens unable to overcome racial divisions with mutual cooperation but that even the racially isolated participants are unable to accomplish anything of substance.”

NEO – Israel’s Attack on Syria Aimed at Moscow – If Iran can’t be bombed, Russia’s other ally in the region, Syria can be – by Gordon Duff, VeteransToday.com – “It is more than clear that Israel is backing ISIS and Al Nusra against Syria and Iraq/Kurdistan as well. The bombing campaign is only part of it, weapons and jihadist fighters have flowed out of Israel like a river. Additionally, Israel has supplied sophisticated communications equipment, satellite surveillance and even advanced operational planning to ISIS. There is no proof that Israeli advisors are with ISIS but observation of their operational capabilities strongly supports that hypothesis… What is clear is that we are seeing a typical Likudist revenge attack. Reeling from reverses in US relations, suffering a massive loss of prestige around the world and facing sanctions from the UN, Israel is lashing out, choosing Russia as a target and, moreover aiming at Russian allies as a direct confrontation with Putin’s Russia would quickly be the end of Mr. Netanyahu and his “American junkyard dog” on the Mediterranean.”

Freddie_GrayBaltimore Riots And A Vision Of Things To Come – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “For instance, the threat of racial cooperation stands as one of the reasons that the oligarchy saw that Martin Luther King Jr. had to be assassinated if it were to remain in control of the American population. It was precisely because of his growing ability to not only unite blacks as a people, subsequently uniting blacks with a number of whites, but also because of his understanding of enlightened self-interest that allowed him to work with varying groups across the racial, political, and economic divisions of society for mutual benefit that he posed greater and greater danger to the oligarchical system. It was for this reason that he was eliminated. In the minds of oligarchs, a man that can unite a race of people is a dangerous man indeed, but a man that can unite more than one race of people is an enemy that represents an end to the oligarchy.”

Vatican Heavies Silence Climate Heretics at UN Papal Summit – by James Delingpole, Breitbart.com – ” ‘Ah. So you made it in here?’ said a somewhat surprised looking member of the Vatican press team to Morano, when he realised that he had bypassed the Vatican’s security and infiltrated the press pack who had come to cover the conference… As luck would have it, a heaven-sent shower of torrential rain had created such chaos that security wasn’t as tight as it might have been… However, the three sceptics (Morano, Monckton, Delingpole) were watched very carefully throughout the proceedings lest they attempt to ruffle the feathers of key speakers Ban Ki-Moon, left-wing economist Jeffrey Sachs and Cardinal Turkson, the Ghanaian priest who has been co-ordinating the Vatican’s position on “climate change.” ”

petro-poroshenko-DavosDonetsk republic official comments on Poroshenko’s words on regaining Donbas and Crimea – The envoy of the self-proclaimed republic also commented on US House Armed Services Committee passing a bill envisaging $200 million for providing Ukraine with weapons and training its army – from Tass.ru – “President Petro Poroshenko saying that the war in Ukraine will end when Kiev regains Donbas and Crimea only leads to escalation of the conflict, the official envoy of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic to the Contact Group, Denis Pushilin, said on Friday… ‘Such statements of Poroshenko are aimed at escalating the conflict in Donbas. This once again confirms the fact that Kiev is not ready to implement all the conditions of the Minsk agreements,’ Pushilin was quoted by the Donetsk news agency as saying… The Donetsk republic’s negotiator said the words of the official Kiev reflect the similar stance of its “overseas sponsors” who are not interested in the peaceful settlement in the war-torn region.”

Ukraine the Epicenter of Global Geopolitical Transformation – Interview with Stephen Cohen, SputnikNews.com – “Speaking about the dangers of the military conflict in Ukraine spreading into a wider regional war, Professor Cohen warned that ‘very loud and authoritative voices in Kiev, Washington and in the NATO Headquarters in Brussels, are saying almost daily that a larger war is coming and coming soon. Each blames the other; Kiev, Washington and Brussels are saying that Russia is going to launch this war. But Moscow is warning that all this war talk is preparation for a Kiev-led US-backed assault on eastern Ukraine. The appearance of American, Canadian and UK trainers to train Ukrainian National Guard makes Moscow think that this too is part of the preparation.’ ”

Al_Sharpton-BaltimoreSHARPTON to Hold March on Washington – To Demand DOJ Takeover of US Police Departments – Sharpton calls for Justice Department Takeover of US Police – from TheGatewayPundit.com – “The Rev. Al Sharpton in Baltimore Thursday called for the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in the United States and hold bad officers accountable…. Al Sharpton announced Thursday he will hold a march to Washington to push for Justice Department takeover of the US police… ‘That’s why we’re going to do this march from here to Washington. We need the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in this country.’ ” – Hmmm, sounds like Al has been talkin’ to Pres. Barry and Loretta Lynch…

Ukrainian Battalion Commander Claims War in East is ‘War of Civilizations’ – from SputnikNews.com – “Earlier this week, Ukrainian media reported that the Azov Battalion has been preparing for a “breakthrough” on the front, with Bilietsky declaring that “Russian tanks” were gathering in Donbass to begin an offensive. Donbass commentators have responded by noting that radical sections in the Ukrainian military and especially among the nationalist battalions affiliated with the National Guard may be preparing a Gulf of Tonkin-style scenario to prepare a new summer offensive in Donbass… Bilietsky’s open commentary about his troops’ preparedness to end the war via the destruction of the enemy seems only to confirm observers’ suspicions. Nationalist commanders including Dmitro Yarosh, who now serves as an advisor to Ukraine’s Chief of Staff, have stated that they do not recognize the validity of the Minsk Ceasefire agreement, noting in February that they reserve the right to continue military actions against anti-Kiev militia in eastern Ukraine.”

30mm_Bullet-MH17Malaysian Airlines M17: Cannon Bullet Discovered in MH17 Wreckage – by Sam Nejad, GlobalResearch.ca – “In a CNN report (see below) there is footage of Donbass militia looking at the newly fallen wreckage of MH17, some of it still on fire. The video was broadcast by CNN. As the images run past us a barely noticeable item is briefly in view of the camera: A combatant spots something amongst the debris. He bends down to pick it up. What he has retrieved is a 30mm bullet that was in the fallen material… [link to video]… The bullet is in view only for 3 seconds; from 1′ 36″ to 1′ 39″. And the way it was casually passed by the camera lens for so short a time indicates that the man who found it took it for granted that the plane was shot at by the trailing fighter jet(s).”

‘No more playing with our shared security’: Iran warns it will stand up for Yemen – Hossein Amir-Abdollahain, deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, spoke on Saturday about Saudi Arabia’s foray into Yemen, as the Gulf state is bombarding it and creating a blockade… He insisted that Yemen’s security is bound to Iran’s, warning: ‘We will not allow anybody [to] play with our common security through adventurous measures,’ Press TV reported… Amir-Abdollahain reaffirmed Iran’s support for Yemeni peace, saying: ‘Tehran supports Yemeni-Yemeni dialog [to be held] in a venue agreed upon by all Yemeni groups, and rejects any foreign interference in the country.’

Shocker: court document asserts Hawaii inspectors clueless about what Monsanto is spraying – by Jon Rappoport, ActivistPost.com – ” ‘We looked into stream sediments specifically for glyphosate, for Roundup, and we found Roundup in all of the samples that we took. All in all, we found 20 herbicides, 11 insecticides, 6 fungicides, 7 locations with glyphosate but no EPA benchmarks, there are no EPA benchmarks for sediment, for glyphosate. So we found stuff but, frankly, we don’t know what it means and no one in, we don’t know how to compare that to any kind of health standards. So there’s additional work that needs to be done there. (2ER 268)’… No guiding rules, no guiding standards, and no clue about what these inspectors were finding, other than glyphosate, which the World Health Organization has just declared a probably carcinogen.

unprecedented-wealth-economic-reality-through-illusiion-david-degraw-freedom-mental-slavery-1024x653UNPRECEDENTED ABUNDANCE ECONOMIC REALITY PEER THROUGH THE ILLUSION – by David Degraw, David Degraw.org – “I then began to intensely question how it is possible that there is such a stunning, unprecedented abundance of wealth, and at the same time so much economic stress, insecurity and poverty. As you will see, it clearly doesn’t have to be this way. The current economic system is counterproductive. It is doing much more to limit human potential than enhance it. Current conditions are not a natural or inevitable outcome of human relations, far from it. Make no mistake; there are psychological forces that are systematically enslaving us. As harsh and extreme as it may sound, we live in a time of mental slavery… However, once you understand how the psychological enslavement processes work, you can transcend conditioned consciousness and free your mind. Once you comprehend the mental prison, once you vividly understand it in depth, you truly enter another dimension, a new paradigm, an evolved level of consciousness. I firmly believe that humanity will soon be freed from an illusion that has enslaved us for far too long. We have already made an evolutionary leap; we just need a critical mass of people to realize it now. The tipping point is near.”

Science is Driving Choice in Vaccination – by Judy Wilyman, ActivistPost.com – Many Australians would like an open debate on the government’s vaccination policies which breach our right to bodily integrity. On 14 April 2015 I received a letter from the Australian Human Rights Commissioner for Individual Freedoms, Tim Wilson, stating that he was not employed to protect our rights in government vaccination policies. So what ‘individual freedoms’ is our new Commissioner of Human Rights (appointed December 2013) paid to protect? Here is my response to the HRC that clearly states that the government has not done the scientific studies that would disprove the causal link between vaccines and the significant increase in chronic illness that is occurring in Australian children – including autism... In the interests of public health, please stand up for our right to free and informed consent for all medical procedures, and our right to bodily integrity, by signing this petition.

Mohammed_Atta-FamedSaudi Arabia’s Alleged Involvement in the 9/11 Attacks. “Red-Herring”, Propaganda Ploy – by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, GlobalResearch.ca – “But who is the rat? The FBI or Senator Bob Graham who is visibly involved in a coverup on behalf of US intelligence? He accuses US government agencies of negligence, which serves to arouse protest against the FBI by many 9/11 Truthers… Graham’s staged accusations thereby serve to distract the American public’s attention from the real evidence, amply documented that the WTC towers were brought down through controlled demolition and that Islamic terrorists were not behind the 9/11 attacks. The issue of Saudi financial support of al Qaeda is not only known and documented since the heyday of the Soviet Afghan war, it is irrelevant in establishing who was behind the terror attacks. Moreover, the contents of the 28 classified pages are known.”

Lloyd-n-HillaryCynics, Step Aside: There is Genuine Excitement Over a Hillary Clinton Candidacy – by Glenn Greenwald, FirstLook.org/TheIntercept – “But one shouldn’t be so jaded. There is genuine and intense excitement over the prospect of (another) Clinton presidency. Many significant American factions regard her elevation to the Oval Office as an opportunity for rejuvenation, as a stirring symbol of hope and change, as the vehicle for vital policy advances. Those increasingly inspired factions include: ● Wall Street, ● The Israel Lobby, ● Interventionists (i.e., war zealots), ● Old school neocons”

A Fact-Resistant ‘Group Think’ on Syria – by Robert Parry, ConsortiumNews.com – “But none of these doubts were examined in any way in Pelley’s “60 Minutes” presentation. Instead, Pelley simply pointed the finger at the Syrian government, citing U.S. intelligence. Pelley said: ‘The rockets were types used by the Syrian army and they were launched from land held by the dictatorship. U.S. intelligence believes the Syrian army used sarin in frustration after years of shelling and hunger failed to break the rebels.’.. Pelley did note one anomaly to the conventional wisdom: Why would Assad have ordered a chemical attack outside Damascus after inviting in a team of UN inspectors to examine another site? Pelley then shrugs off that contradiction while offering no alternative scenario and leaving the clear impression that the attack was carried out by the Syrian government.”

Martin_Richard-Dzokhar_TsarnaevIn Defense of Dzhokhar: The Real Smoking Gun in Boston – by Kurt Haskell and Patrick Henningsen, 21stCenturyWire.com – “The most likely scenario for the Richards’ injuries is that a blast came from the front, and to the right of them, not from the back right as per the ‘official theory’… Note also, and below, how the bomb blast appears to blow the fence backwards, and therefore, the injuries to the Richards family are consistent with a blast from their front, and not right behind – where Tsarnaev is said to have allegedly dropped his backpack which contained a bomb in it. Furthermore, the mysterious brown purse was dropped right next to a mailbox that had close contact powder burns only to its front corner, once again, consistent with a nearby blast from the front side of the fence – where this purse was in fact dropped.”

The Big Cheat: Why Teachers Are Going to Prison While Charter School Operators Get Accolades – Atlanta’s school teachers aren’t alone in their attempts to cheat the system – by Jeff Bryant, Alternet.org – “Yet despite their test scores, there’s no assurance the children of Success Academy will, in the long term, be any better off than the cheated children in Atlanta. Professor Katz points to an analysis from reporterJuan Gonzalez of the New York Daily News, who found that of the original class of 73 students who enrolled in one Success Academy in 2006, only 32 made it to the last week of school, and “despite 27 of those students sitting for the entrance exams to New York City’s highly selective public high schools, no Success Academy graduate qualified for admission.”

Ellen_Brown2California Water Wars: Another Form of Asset Stripping? – by Ellen Brown, EllenBrown.com – “Maps indicate that the areas of California hardest hit by the mega-drought are those that grow a large percentage of America’s food. California supplies 50% of the nation’s food and more organic food than any other state. Western Growers estimates that last year 500,000 acres of farmland were left unplanted, an amount that could increase by 40% this year. The trade group pegs farm job losses at 17,000 last year and more in 2015… Farmers with contracts from the Central Valley Project, a large federal irrigation system, will receive no water for the second consecutive year, according to preliminary forecasts. Cities and industries will get 25 percent of their full contract allocation, to ensure sufficient water for human health and safety. Besides shortages, there is the problem of toxic waste dumped into water supplies by oil company fracking. Economists estimate the cost of the drought in 2014 at $2.2 billion.”

A HEARTLESS CONGRESSIONAL BLUNDER ! – A Teacher’s Perspective on the “Every Child Achieves Act of 2015” – by Dawn Hoagland, ABCsOfDumbDown.blogspot.com – “This type of a system is completely inappropriate for schools that contain small children who are trying to become well-developed human beings. Test-driven reform coupled with punishments causes schools and teachers to spend too much time on test-prep, to narrow the curriculum to what is tested at the expense of deeper learning, to game the system, and even to cheat (for example, the recent convictions of Atlanta teachers and administrators.).. “Deliverology,” as invented by Sir Michael Barber, who is now the head of Pearson International, is a command and control method of management designed to improve whatever it is applied to. Barber worked as an adviser to Tony Blair for four years applying his awful ideas to Health and Education in England before coming here. England is still suffering from his ‘reforms.’ ”

No_CashBanned: Chase Bank Says You Can No Longer Store Cash or Precious Metals In Your Safe Deposit Box – by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan.com – “Some JPMorgan Chase customers are receiving letters informing them that the bank will no longer allow cash to be stored in safety deposit boxes…The content of a post over on the Collectors Universe message board suggests that we may be about to see a resurgence of the old fashioned method of stuffing bank notes under the mattress: My mother has a SDB at a Chase branch with one of my siblings as co-signers. Last week they got a letter outlining a number of changes to the lease agreement, including this: ‘Contents of the box: You agree not to store any cash or coins other than those found to have a collectible value.’ “

Iran: Terrorists in Yemen Organized by Israeli Mossad Agency – from english.FarsNews.com – “The Iranian deputy foreign minister underlined that the evidence and intel gathered over the past two months shows that certain spy agencies have transferred the ISIL terrorists from Syria and Iraq as well as some (other) regional countries to South Yemen… ‘Boko Haram and al-Shabab terrorists have been taken from Nigeria and Somalia to Yemen,’ Amir Abdollahian added… He noted that the Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists never attack Israel’s interests around the world due to their cooperation with Mossad, and said, ‘Even in the recent Gaza war against Gaza, the ISIL refrained from confronting the Zionist regime.’ ”

Minority ReportMiami’s ”HunchLab” is Latest Police Move Toward Pre-Crime Detection – by Nicholas West, ActivistPost.com – “In Miami, MacDonald said that the software the department is using is a more elaborate version of PredPol, which uses only crime data. Miami police also are punching in everything from paydays to school calendars, weather reports and social media. The department also is using the federal grant to establish an offender database… And there it is: the admission of full-scale integration to social media and the establishment of databases directed from the federal level… While an ever-expanding YouTube catalog of police brutality videos, martial law drills, and various high-tech weapons systems and vehicles that are arriving from overseas indicate the boot poised to “stamp on a human face forever,” as Orwell envisioned the future – working in tandem is the electronic prison system that is far more subtle, but every bit as enduring and hell-bent on stamping out human freedom.”

Legislation to Penalize Boycott of Israel – Little-noticed amendment was included in controversial Fast Track trade bill that just passed the Senate Finance Committee – by Sarah Lazare, CommonDreams.org – “With little notice, anti-BDS directives were injected into the “Fast Track” legislation that passed the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday night, despite broad opposition to the bill, which gives the administration of President Barack Obama authority to ram though so-called “free trade” deals… An amendment, included in the bill and sponsored by Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), stipulates that, as a principle of trade negotiations, the U.S. should put pressure on other countries not to engage in BDS against Israel of any kind, including refusal to do business with settlements… The passed amendment has not yet been made public, but Josh Ruebner, policy director for the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, told Common Dreams that Cardin’s office confirmed that the language was based on the Senate legislation S.619…”

No_SB277‘No Jab, No Pay’ Australia Policy Ends Payouts To Citizens Who Refuse Vaccines – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “For that reason, families that refuse to vaccinate their children will lose these child care benefits, costing many up to $11,000 per year… As CNN reported, ‘Thousands of families could lose out on welfare payments, with the Australian government estimating more than 39,000 children under the age of seven have not been vaccinated because of their parents’ objections.’.. In regards to the “tightening” of religious exemptions, Morrison stated that such guidelines overseeing the application and granting of these exemptions will be essentially eroded. He stated that the new policy will now require ‘the formal position of that religious body being advised to the government and approved by the government. This is a very significant narrowing.’ ”

The U.S. CDC: A Sock Puppet for the Industry and Hopelessly Corrupt – by Catherine J Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “That was the beginning of his research, which ended in his book, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak... As a result of all the research his team did, he came to the conclusion the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “is a cesspool of corruption” and a “sock puppet” for the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry! As matter of fact, these are his exact words: “a troubled agency, in fact, a cesspool of corruption.” It’s pervasive and “hopelessly corrupt and dysfunctional.” Based upon that, Kennedy contends that no one should be mandated to take vaccines because the science cannot be trusted... Furthermore, Kennedy says, ‘Today, there are 271 new vaccines in CDC’s pipeline . . . awaiting approval to be put on the schedule, and each one of those new vaccines could mean upwards of a billion dollars to the companies that own the patents. And Paul Offit has said that he believes that children can get as many as 10,000 vaccines safely. There’s never been a study by the CDC of the cumulative impact of these vaccines.’ “

Sedki_al-Maket2Israel moves to cover-up its alliance with al-Qaeda in Syria – by Asa Winstanley, MiddleEastMonitor.com – “Since the Nusra Front took over a key checkpoint in the Golan in the summer, it has not gone unnoticed by Arabs that Nusra has completely avoided attacking Israeli military targets in the region. The Qunaitra crossing stands between the Israeli-occupied and the Syrian-controlled sectors of the Golan – Nusra has held it since August… UN peacekeepers have observed regular contacts between Nusra forces in the area and the Israeli troops stationed on the other side of the ceasefire line (Israel has illegally occupied part of the Golan since 1967). They also observed cargo of an unknown nature passing between the two sides from the Israelis.”

New Breakaway Republic Is Announced in Ukraine to Join Donetsk and Luhansk Republics – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “As the first anniversary approaches of the 2 May 2014 massacre by U.S.-backed Ukrainian Government thugs against pamphleteers in Odessa’s Trade Unions Building, who had opposed the >22 February 2014 U.S. coup in Ukraine, there has been forming in Odessa a movement for complete independence from the U.S.-coup-imposed Ukrainian regime. Ukraine’s U.S.-imposed regime’s response is to crush this incipient movement before word of its existence can even get out to the rest of the world… That May 2nd massacre sparked Ukraine’s civil war, by terrifying all Ukrainians who respected Russian culture and who considered themselves to be part of it (and such Ukrainians dominated the southeastern half of Ukraine). It showed them that the rabidly anti-Russian, pro-nazi regime which had recently been installed by the U.S., was seeking nothing less than their own destruction.”

drought-signs-in-CA-3Was the California drought geoengineered to pass future ‘climate change’ legislation? – from StateOfTheNation2012.com – “California is the eighth largest economy in the world. It’s agricultural industry produces a massive amount of food for the USA as well as the world-at-large. Silicon Valley alone contributes a significant amount to the state GDP. Likewise, the Military-Industrial Complex owns and operates major enterprises across the entire state of California as does the Motion Picture Industry. When considered in the aggregate, these sectors of the state economy also makeup up a substantial portion of the U.S. GNP. Therefore, it is very easy to see how putting a HUGE dent in the California economy would affect millions of people and many communities, as well as numerous corporations and companies operating both in-state and nationwide.”

Open Letter To All Geoengineering Activists And Advocates For Chemtrail-free Skies – by Michael J. Murphy, ChemtrailsMustStop.com – “Because geoengineering has, to date, not been included in climate models and therefore makes it impossible to determine whether the planet is warming, we therefore demand that the ongoing global geoengineering programs be stopped before any more climate change talks, legislation and mandates are enacted… Climate change treaties and legislation will, if passed, lead to global governance as well as the disintegration of nations (including the sovereignty of Native American nations). These global initiatives will transfer potentially trillions of dollars of wealth into the hands of a few at the expense of many and allow an unelected body (IPCC) to micro-manage our lives.”

Interdimensional Intervention on Earth: A Synthetic System of Control – by Open, WakingTimes.com – “I wrote in some detail about the Opposing Consciousness background here in Intervention on Earth: An Interdimensional Opposing Consciousness. At the highest levels, it is formless, which is why some of the more grandiose glamorisations actually inhibit a full understanding. So it’s source is a distorting and controlling consciousness which seeps into your higher dimensional being – it’s more like a virus, acting through the field. It can only come in because of the distortion one’s own ego makes of reality. Examples are: over identification with the physical including: fear and lack of trust in not having enough; avoidance, insensitivity and denial of your deep inner self; or devolving personal responsibility to some higher power. It could be excessive consumption or trying to control life. This internal efforting creates inner blind spots making people susceptible to the Intervention energy.”

Is Mario Draghi Stupid, Crooked Or What? – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “Remember, the average maturity here is in the range of 7-8 years. During the last ten years europe’s CPI averaged 2.0% and even during the last three deflationary years the CPI ex-energy averaged 1.2%. So unless you think oil prices are going down forever or that the money printers of the world have abolished inflation once and for all, the real after-tax return on euro junk has now been reduced to something less than a whole number. Has the reckless stretch for “yield” come down to this?”

Citi Economist Says It Might Be Time to Abolish Cash – Would this save the world economy? by Lorcan Roche Kelly, Bloomberg.com – “When economic conditions worsen, they react by reducing interest rates in order to stimulate the economy. But, as has happened across the world in recent years, there comes a point where those central banks run out of room to cut — they can bring interest rates to zero, but reducing them further below that is fraught with problems, the biggest of which is cash in the economy.”

For the week of 4/6/15:

A single cartel for the whole planet: Matrixology 101 – by Jon Rappoport, ActivistPost.com – “One world, one money system, one army, one intelligence agency, one medical system… it’s the Globalist wet dream. Their moves in this direction meet with opposition. It’s not a slam-dunk. Two steps forward, one step back. But on the whole, they’re gaining ground… The ideal for them is: corporation-government nexus; larger cartels; integration of those cartels into a single whole… Many, many, many people in this world are systems-oriented. They always want larger systems, which of course deeply affect populations, rigidifying them. But this is not a problem for “systems-people.” The apparatus comes first; humans are secondary… Systems-people aim for perfection. Their minds mirror this: excessively structured geometry, balance, equilibrium, symmetry, order… They want everyone’s mind to operate from this foundation… They believe any other basis is disruptive.”

In the Robotic Near-Future, Most “Will Live Off Government-Provided Income” – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “If you thought the welfare state was bad now – with a record number of homes on food stamps, many out of work or giving up on work and a significant portion of what used to be the Middle Class struggling just to make ends meet – it may be that we haven’t seen anything yet… While we can hope for things to turn around, we should prepare for the worst… What happens if we all become hordes of helpless masses completely dependent on government for everything?.. It might sounds OK to some, but time for a reality check: life at the hands of government assistance is no kind of life at all.”

Roundup-in-Mothers_MilkMonsanto’s “Discredit Bureau” Really Does Exist [UPDATE] – by Stephanie Hampton, DailyKos.com – “One student asked what Monsanto was doing to counter the “bad science” around their work. Dr. Moar, perhaps forgetting that this was a public event, then revealed that Monsanto indeed had “an entire department” (waving his arm for emphasis) dedicated to “debunking” science which disagreed with theirs. As far as I know this is the first time that a Monsanto functionary has publically admitted that they have such an entity which brings their immense political and financial weight to bear on scientists who dare to publish against them. The Discredit Bureau will not be found on their official website… The challenge for Monsanto’s Discredit Bureau is steep in attacking the unimpeachably respected Lancet and the international scientific bodies of WHO and IARC. However, they have no choice but to attack since the stakes are so very high for them. Glyphosate is their hallmark product upon which the majority of their profits are based. Make no mistake, this is extremely bad news for Monsanto.”

Kiev Commits Energy Hari Kiri – by F. William Engdahl, Journal-NEO.com – “To meet IMF loan demands, the government has imposed exorbitant taxes on local oil and gas producers and is forcing them to sell their output to the government-owned monopoly. Kiev’s new tax rates are mindboggling. The government has just imposed a royalty which taxes output sales not just profits. And the royalty tax rates are 70% for state-owned oil and gas production companies; 55% on wells under 5,000 meters depth, and 35% on wells over 5,000 meters. That will have the effect of killing domestic Ukraine oil and gas production and development at a time Washington is telling Kiev to become free from oil and gas from Russia… The new taxes come as part of the IMF demands to Kiev will bring a dramatic immediate rise in the price of natural gas to industry and households. Naftogaz, the state-owned gas giant must end its annual $4 billion deficit, some 6% of GDP, by imposing a 300% rise in gas prices. So one year later, with the EU pleading poverty, Ukraine’s government will force a whole new wave of bankruptcies and unemployment owing to soaring gas costs.

Varoufakis-TsiprasGreeced Lightning! Will Greece Default? Will Athens Cut a Financial Deal with Moscow and Beijing? – by Bill Holter, GlobalResearch.ca – “A Greek exit will be extremely complicated. They owe 350 billion euros, much of this debt was held inside under collateralized German and French bank portfolios, much of this was “swapped” out with the ECB. A default by Greece would “un swap” these bonds and thus bring the question of solvency to the heart of the Eurozone. Even more complicated is how the money will be handled for the “Target2″ amounts owed to other Euro nations? This is a running balance of payments accounting for countries running trade deficits versus surplus nations. Greece obviously cannot pay for their already accumulated deficits, the question is, who eats the loss? Then of course there are derivatives at maybe 10 times the amount of debt outstanding, now we are talking big money and in the trillions.”

The Pro-GMO Lobby In Retreat. “‘Monsanto’s ‘Discredit Bureau’ has More than Enough on its Plate”by Colin Todhunter, GlobalResearch.ca – GM crops are not needed to feed the world: A new report just released by Environmental Working Group has delivered a stinging rebuke to the argument that GM crops are the answer to future global food shortages (also see this, this and this). A thorough analysis of recent research conducted in the US and around the world shows that such crops have not significantly improved the yields of crops such as corn and soy… Author of the report Emily Cassidy says: ‘Biotech companies and proponents of conventional, industrial agriculture have touted genetically engineered crops as the key to feeding a more populous, wealthier world, but recent studies show that this promise has fallen flat.’.. The GMO agritech industry is not based on sound science and reasoned argument: (I)s debunked in Steven Druker’s new book… ‘Altered Truth, Twisted Genes’ exposes the fraudulent basis upon which the GMO agritech sector is based. GM foods first achieved commercialisation in 1992 but only because the Food and Drug Administration covered up the extensive warnings of its own scientists about their dangers, lied about the facts and then violated federal food safety law by permitting these foods to be marketed without having been proven safe through standard testing.”

Khalida_JarrarOccupier orders Palestinian lawmaker Khalida Jarrar held 6 months without charge or trial – by Ali Abunimah, ElectronicIntifada.net – “After seizing her from her home in the middle of the night last week, Israeli occupation forces have ordered that a Palestinian lawmaker be held without charge or trial for six months… Palestinian Legislative Council member Khalida Jarrar was given a so-called “administrative detention” order on Sunday, the Palestinian prisoners’ rights group Addameer said in a statement… The group’s lawyer Mahmoud Hassan has visited Jarrar in Israel’s HaSharon prison. Jarrar, who suffers from a chronic illness, is taking her medications regularly, but is “in constant need of medical supervision,” Addameer added… She is due to appear before an Israeli military tribunal on Wednesday to confirm the detention without charge or trial… Jarrar is one of 15 Palestinian legislators and 23 female political prisoners currently detained by Israeli occupation forces, Addameer states.”

Czechoslovak Reservists Issue Memorandum against NATO – from Russia-Insider.com – “MEMORANDUM: For the first time since the end of the 2nd World War we see a genuine threat of war yet again. Consequently, we consider it necessary to issue the following statement… We, the Czechoslovak soldiers in reserve, unanimously reject any participation in battles that are geopolitical acts of aggression of the global elite by way of NATO and the support of our governments… We swore to defend our homeland the Czech and Slovak Republics. We swore to protect the freedom and independence of our proud and sovereign nations, for which our ancestors laid down their lives in the world wars. We are guided by this oath in a civilian initiative to deal with a crisis situation. Freedom and independence is being jeopardized long time by a system of representative pseudo-democracy, where an elected representative does not have the obligation to advance the interests of voters and in practice, laws represent but the personal interests of the legislators, the interests of political parties and economic interest groups. Our homeland is under the pressure of global elites and economic interest groups, who are doing away with the power of citizens through a system of representative democracy.” (emph. added)

Why Legalize Marijuana? Because GMO Pot Is Coming – from WarIsCrime.com – “There are many reasons why Monsanto and other companies producing GMOs would like to learn a new product. Marijuana may be the next major GMO crop. First of all, the company plans to produce GMO manipulate so-called “medical marijuana”. If pharmacists join with GMO companies, pharmaceutical mafia can create transgenic strains with the ability to produce more active compounds which are patented and can be implemented as a medicine.”

Force young people to vote in elections, think tank says – from BBC.com – “Making them vote may halt declining election turnouts and could “kick start the habit of a lifetime”, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said… In 2010, 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds voted, with the “younger and poorer” least likely to vote, it suggested… The UK risks “sleepwalking into a more divided democracy” unless there is reform, the IPPR’s Mat Lawrence said.” (emph. added)

Government-run animal control now kidnapping and murdering family pets in America if owners don’t pay ransom demands – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “What we’re seeing here is yet another example of a rogue, psychopathic government targeting the public with mafia-style tactics. This kidnap-ransom-murder operation happening with family pets is also reflected in the civil asset forfeiture operations where cops pull over innocent families and steal their cash, claiming, ‘If you are carrying cash, it must have been acquired through drug-related activity.’.. The government in America today — both at the local and federal level — has become a shakedown mafia run by psychopaths, and because the government alone has the authority to kill your pets or imprison you, the public is totally at the mercy of this authoritarian (yet totally insane) system.”

Medical Kidnapping: A Threat to Every Child in America Today – by Brian Shilhavy, MedicalKidnap.com – “All across the United States today, parents are losing custody of their children due to medical kidnapping. Medical kidnapping is defined as the State taking away children from their biological parents and putting them into State custody and the foster care system, simply because the parents did not agree with a doctor regarding their prescribed medical treatment for the family. In some cases it is as simple as telling a doctor you are going to seek a second opinion on a suggested medical procedure, and then ending up being charged with “medical abuse” and losing your children… Medical kidnapping is part of a larger problem of State-sponsored child kidnapping. State-sponsored kidnapping is where the State steps in and decides that they know what is best for a child or group of children within a family, and then removes the children without any formal charges being brought against the parents. The parents lose their children immediately, often without any warrant being issued by a judge, and then must fight in family or juvenile court to try and get their children back. They are assumed guilty by social services of something worthy of losing their children, usually with no formal charges filed in a court of law, and no trial by a jury of peers as is afforded by the Constitution of the United States of America. They must spend significant resources to try and get their children back from a family court system that is cloaked in secrecy with little to no accountability.”

Vermont Teen Drugged Against Her Will, Held in Custody in Massachusetts Mental Health Facility – from HealthImpactNews.com – “Karen Maple is very concerned about the well-being of her daughter, 17 year old Elissa, since DCF seized custody of the teen over a year ago, in December 2013… Karen says she sought help for her teen’s anxiety, but DCF quickly got involved and turned their world upside down, sending Elissa to a mental ward/school located 6 hours away from their home, in another state. She has now been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but her mother says that the drugs that she is being forced to take are what is actually causing the symptoms of schizophrenia… Interestingly, on the occasions when Elissa has stopped taking the medications, the symptoms also stopped. Those periods haven’t lasted long, she says, because when the staff found out that she wasn’t taking them, they force drugged her. Elissa has no choice in the matter.”

FoodbankThe rush to humiliate the poor – by Dana Milbank, WashingtonPost.com – “Last week, the Kansas legislature passed House Bill 2258, punishing the poor by limiting their cash withdrawals of welfare benefits to $25 per day and forbidding them to use their benefits “in any retail liquor store, casino, gaming establishment, jewelry store, tattoo parlor, massage parlor, body piercing parlor, spa, nail salon, lingerie shop, tobacco paraphernalia store, vapor cigarette store, psychic or fortune telling business, bail bond company, video arcade, movie theater, swimming pool, cruise ship, theme park, dog or horse racing facility, pari-mutuel facility, or sexually oriented business . . . or in any business or retail establishment where minors under age 18 are not permitted.”

Land grab in Ukraine is Monsanto’s backdoor to the EUfrom OrientalReview.org – Further proof that American investors have a sincere appreciation for the value of Ukraine’s black earth can be seen in the recent acquisition of a 50% stake by the investment fund Siguler Guff & Co in the Ukrainian Port of Illichivsk, which specializes in agricultural exports… Ukraine controls a third of all arable land in Europe. The hasty introduction of biotechnology into developing countries leads to deplorable results that are evident in Latin America and Africa. But Europe’s farmers will go bust much earlier. Their goods, which are produced by workers in the EU where the price of labor is quite exorbitant, cannot compete with the influx of GMO products from Ukraine.”

Academi_Merc-MariupolNeoNazis, Blackwater in Ukraine and US State-Funded ‘Independent’ Media – by Julie Lévesque of Global Research, via 21stCenturyWire.com – “As for Rohac’s second argument regarding Western mercenaries fighting in Ukraine, in May last year several media reported that mercenaries from the private military company Blackwater, now called Academi, were operating in Ukraine. The information came not from the Kremlin but rather from a German news source and was published by the German mainstream newspaper Bild am Sonntag: ‘About 400 elite mercenaries from the notorious US private security firm Academi (formerly Blackwater) are taking part in the Ukrainian military operation against anti-government protesters in southeastern regions of the country, German media reports.’ ”

Ukraine’s annual inflation sees surprise rise at 45.8% – from PressTV.ir – “The increase follows a steep acceleration of 10.8 percent in March, according to the country’s statistics office… The eastern European nation, which had been the scene of a year of deadly clashes between its army and pro-Russia forces in the east, had a month-on-month inflation of 5.3 percent in February and 3.1 percent in January 2015… A fragile deal between the Kiev government and pro-Russians signed in February almost ended the tensions. However, the country is left in the hands of a combination of monetary, budgetary, industrial, banking and energy crises that could make Kiev reliant on outside help for years.”

Clean Water Act victory for landowners! – by Reed Hopper, blog.PacificLegal.org – “For the first time since the inception of the Clean Water Act (1972), overzealous government bureaucrats can be held immediately accountable in court for their erroneous assertions of federal control over private wetlands and other waters. This levels the playing field for landowners who have been at the mercy of overreaching government for far too long.”

For the week of 3/30/15:

Military-White_Vans-Ft_LauderdaleIsn’t it obvious? If Operation Jade Helm were happening in any other country, it would be immediately labeled a military drill for martial law – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “Most Americans remain totally unaware of the fact that a massive military drill spanning 10 U.S. states will soon put military troops, helicopters, armored transports and military weapons directly on the streets of communities across the nation. ‘Operation Jade Helm begins in July and will last for eight weeks,’ reports the Daily Mail. ‘Soldiers will operate in and around towns in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado where some of them will drop from planes while carrying weapons loaded with blanks in what military officials have dubbed Realistic Military Training.’ “

The Tipping Point at the Crossroads of Time – by ZenGardner.com – “Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals… ‘When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,’ said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. ‘Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame.’ “

The_M-BombWHO Glyphosate Report Ends Thirty Year Cancer Cover Up – from SustainablePulse.com – “On February 11, 1985 the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate was first considered by an EPA panel, called the Toxicology Branch Ad Hoc Committee. The Committee, in a consensus review dated March 4, 1985, then classified glyphosate as a Class C Carcinogen. A Class C Carcinogen has ”Suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential” according to the EPA… This Class C classification was changed by the EPA six years later to a Class E category which suggests “evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans”. Mysteriously this change in glyphosate’s classification occurred during the same period that Monsanto was developing its first Roundup-Ready (glyphosate-resistant) GM Crops.”

Incredible (but dark) 15 min. Short FilmWhat Happens When People First Realize That Their World Isn’t Real? – from io9.com – “The people in the proof-of-concept short film Sundays are living in a Matrix-like reality, but this isn’t quite The Matrix. This is a story about people just beginning to realize something is awry with their reality. It’s not only that they may be living in a simulation — it’s also that the world they’re inhabiting is starting to break down.”

Toronto-Sleeping_RoughToronto’s Plan to Push Out the Homeless – by John Clarke, SocialistProject.ca – “As serious as this all is, it’s clear that the process of displacement is by no means limited to George Street. On page 17, we are told that ‘pressure created by a rising real estate market and the need to upgrade existing shelter facilities to better meet clients needs will result in several changes in the shelter system over the next five years.’ I’d not be quite as ready as the SSHA bureaucracy to accept that the appetites of the real estate market can be reconciled with ‘clients needs’. What’s clear, though, is that the developer’s wishes are law as far as the City is concerned and, if condos or commercial projects need to be built where homeless people take shelter, the homeless will just have to move on… The removal process is already upon us. The 124 bed Hope Shelter at McCaul and College Streets is set to close on April 14 and the report confirms that “At least one other shelter will need relocation this year as a result of their leased property being sold. Two other shelters may require relocation due to unsuitable conditions and poor state of repair of facilities” (page 17). Beyond even this, ‘…over the next few years, a total of six shelters will have to relocate’ (not counting the impact of the removals on George Street) (page 17) and it’s clear that any additional space that is opened to meet the need to reduce occupancy levels will not be located in the central area if the developers and the City are able to determine the outcome.”

Amazon’s carbon uptake declines as trees die faster – from ScienceDaily.com – “Over recent decades the remaining Amazon forest has acted as a vast ‘carbon sink’ — absorbing more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases — helping to put a brake on the rate of climate change. But this new analysis of forest dynamics shows a huge surge in the rate of trees dying across the Amazon… Lead author Dr Roel Brienen, from the School of Geography at the University of Leeds, said: ‘Tree mortality rates have increased by more than a third since the mid-1980s, and this is affecting the Amazon’s capacity to store carbon.’ “

Youth shot by Israel for waving flag and flashing V sign – from AlethoNews.wordpress.com – “Qdeh clarified the circumstances of his injury saying: ‘One of my friends wanted to take a picture of me waving the Palestinian flag with the V sign while we were in our land which the IOF is preventing us from reaching in Greater Abasan east of Khan Younis. However, the IOF soldiers started shooting at us and I was hit with an explosive bullet.’ – The bullet hit one of the youth’s legs, and the shrapnel scattered to hit his other leg and his cousin Fawzi Qdeh who was nearby. Anas lied on the ground profusely bleeding before he was rushed to hospital to be urgently treated… His cousin Fawzi Qdeh, 23, said with a smile drawn on his face that a piece of shrapnel is still lodged in his left shoulder and doctors told him that it is difficult to extract it at this stage.”

Nationalists plan 2017 secession from Spain – from TheLocal.es – ” The September vote will act as a “plebiscite”, Esquerra Republicana, Convergencia Democratica de Catalunya and several associations said… If pro-independence candidates win the vote, they will create a new constitution and establish institutions that would form the basis of a future state, the road map plan pledged… ‘The national transition process towards the declaration of a new Catalan state or republic will begin after the September 27th vote, and culminate at the most after 18 months,’ the text said… The plan also calls for “an obligatory referendum on the text of the constitution”, followed by a parliamentary vote and negotiations to determine Catalonia’s “new relationship” with Spain and the European Union.”

Hurry-n-FraudcloseFraudclosure Victories? – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “When the banks sent foreclosure notices to borrowers, most borrowers simply packed their bags and moved out of their homes. They consented to be foreclosed upon… But some borrowers who’d come to sense or even understand the fraud perpetrated by the banks stood their ground and refused to move out of their homes. Some of those people are still living in their “foreclosed” homes, five years after the banks sent their first notice of foreclosure–and haven’t paid a dime on their mortgages during the past five years… It takes a certain amount of brains and lot of nerve to not only refuse to pay on your mortgage for five years, but also to remain in your house.”

5 Million Venezuelans sign petition against US aggression & interference – from RT.com – ” ‘We have collected more than 5 million signatures and we want to call on the Venezuelan people to keep on going to reach 10 million,’ Jorge Rodriguez, mayor of Caracas and coordinator of the initiative told Venezolana de Television… For the past week plazas, government offices and buildings opened their doors seeking to collect some 10 million signatures against Washington’s policy towards the Latin American country… ‘Our intention is to deliver the collected signatures to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, as clear evidence that the people of Venezuela reject the crude interference in our internal affairs,’ Rodriguez added.”

Schmidt-WAY_acrossGoogle Patents Directed Energy Nanoparticle Wearable Device – by Melissa Melton, ActivistPost.com – “Skip ahead a few years, and now the company will just offer wearables that generate and release directed energy into the body which target functionalized nanoparticles in the blood that can be “selectively modified or destroyed” by the wearable… Once you are inside the body, the creepy line has definitely been crossed. Do we really want our modern-day version of Skynet shooting directed energy into our bodies that target nanoparticles in our blood?.. And what if that energy has other effects on the electromagnetic biofields already surrounding our bodies? What if someone hacks the wearable?.. Of course the device is described for use only against targets that have adverse health effects, but as we all know, technology is inherently neutral.”

If Anyone Doubts That We Are In A Stock Market Bubble, Show Them This Article – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “And this kind of irrational euphoria is not just happening in the United States… For example, Chinese stocks are up nearly 80 percent over the past nine months… Meanwhile, the overall Chinese economy is growing at the slowest pace that we have seen in about 20 years… Right now, we are in the calm before the storm. We are right at the door of the next great financial crisis, and most of the people that work in the industry know this.”

feinsteingreatsatanFBI Uncovers Another of Its Own Plots, Senator Feinstein Responds By Saying We Should Censor the Internet – Feinstein: ‘I am particularly struck that the alleged bombers made use of online bombmaking guides like the Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine. These documents are not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the Internet.’.. For what it’s worth, Dianne Feinstein’s “view” is wrong. The Anarchist Cookbook is very much protected by the First Amendment. While the book is banned in other countries, who don’t have the equivalent of the First Amendment, it’s perfectly legal in the US. The FBI/DOJ has extensively investigated the Anarchist’s Cookbook in particular over the years, and as far back as 1997 directly told Senator Feinstein that she could not ban it.

Southampton University wimps buckle under Zionist pressure to kill ground-breaking conference – by Stuart Littlewood, RedressOnline.com – In a statement published on the internet, the conference organisers rejected the university’s excuses, saying: ‘The university claims that it does not have enough resources to mitigate the risks despite a clear statement from the police confirming that they are able to deal with the protest and ensure the security of the event. As the law stands, the university is legally obliged to uphold freedom of speech… the requirement of minimising risk should also fall onto the police as the agency that is entrusted with the enforcement of the law (freedom of speech) and the provision of security… It is very clear from the police’s report that they are more than capable of policing the conference and ensuring the safety of university staff, speakers, delegates, students and property.’ “

Mouse-memoryMind Control Researchers Create Fake Link Between Unrelated Memories – by Nicholas West, ActivistPost.com – “The ability to learn associations between events is critical for survival, but it has not been clear how different pieces of information stored in memory may be linked together by populations of neurons. In a study published April 2nd in Cell Reports, synchronous activation of distinct neuronal ensembles caused mice to artificially associate the memory of a foot shock with the unrelated memory of exploring a safe environment, triggering an increase in fear-related behavior when the mice were re-exposed to the non-threatening environment. The findings suggest that co-activated cell ensembles become wired together to link two distinct memories that were previously stored independently in the brain. (emph. added)

Iceland To Take Back The Power To Create Money – by Raúl Ilargi Meije, TheAutomaticEarth.com – “Can’t see commercial banks in the western world be too happy with this. They must be contemplating wiping the island nation off the map. If accepted in the Iceland parliament , the plan would change the game in a very radical way. It would be successful too, because there is no bigger scourge on our economies than commercial banks creating money and then securitizing and selling off the loans they just created the money (credit) with… Everyone, with the possible exception of Paul Krugman, understands why this is a very sound idea.”

Joe---BidenAmerican Jews should let Israel protect them – “No matter how deeply involved you are in the U.S. … there’s only one guarantee … and that’s the state of Israel” – by Corey Robin, Salon.com – Biden: ‘Folks,’ he continued, ‘there is no place else to go, and you understand that in your bones. You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no matter how engaged, no matter how deeply involved you are in the United States … there’s only one guarantee. There is really only one absolute guarantee, and that’s the state of Israel.’.. When Biden was finished, Goldberg reports, ‘There was applause, and then photos, and then kosher canapés.’ ” (emph. added)

The Cybersecurity Bill CISA: Big Brother Just Got Bigger – by Ted Baumann, ActivistPost.com – “But in one of those instances of bipartisanship that make a mockery of the “Red versus Blue” horse-race approach to U.S. politics, party leaders on both sides of the aisle are determined to meet the threat to our corporate overlords by giving government spies access to everything Big Data has on us. Under CISA, the companies that know everything about you and your online activity will be able to hand it over to government … and you won’t have any legal recourse.”

Angela-n-YatsGermany’s Merkel Comes Out as Basically a U.S. Agent – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “On Wednesday, April 1st, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet approved a measure to bring fracking (the patents for which are owned mainly by “large American companies, including Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Schlumberger”) into Germany. This is a prelude not only to U.S. President Obama’s secret Trans-Atlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (TTIP) pact with Europe to subordinate national laws and regulations to trans-national mega-corporate panels that will be dominated by U.S. firms and that will override the participating nations’ environmental and labor regulations and consumer protections (and harm European economies generally), but it is also a major step toward removing Europe from Russia’s energy-market, and bringing U.S. and European oil companies to dominate there instead.

Weaponized_DroneIndia to Use Weaponized Drones For Crowd Control – by Nicholas West, ActivistPost.com – “The introduction of drones has been incremental as well. Initially drones were approved in India for surveillance during 2014 riots, which were the cause of 3 deaths and at least 12 injuries. However, drones have since been widely rolled out to monitor other “potential trouble zones” that were not in response to any violence taking place. Now, The Times of India spoke with the Superintendent of Police who had the following to say about the newly expanded directive, which has to make one question how adding a new method of violence will lead to any reduction in casualties: ‘We have purchased five drone cameras with capacity of lifting two kg weight. They can be used to shower pepper powder on an unruly mob in case of any trouble ….’Lucknow Police will probably be the first in the country to have such hi-tech surveillance gadget, he said, adding drones will assist not only in checking crimes but also in keeping a track of criminals.” (Source) [emphasis added]

Are They Arming for Riots Across America? Homeland Stockpiling “Less Lethal Specialty Munitions” – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “Over the course of 9 pages (PDF), the technical requirements call for an arsenal of specialized weaponry for training and deployment against crowds… On top of a wide range of gas and chemical grenades, rubber bullets and other riot rounds, the purchase calls for “controlled noise and light distraction devices,” including flash bangs which set off a 175 dB sound with 6 – 8 million candelas light bursts in 10 milliseconds… So why are the Feds prepping to take on crowds?”

Israeli army admits aiding al-Qaeda in Syria – by Asa Winstanley, MiddleEastMonitor.com – “An under-noticed news report last week confirmed previously-held suspicions and strong implications that Israeli troops are aiding the Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s official Syrian affiliate… Speaking to Israeli occupation troops last week, a Wall Street Journal reporter on the ground in Mount Bental (part of the occupied Golan Heights) found that Israeli troops receive wounded al-Qaeda fighters, treat them in Israeli hospitals and send them back to continue fighting against the government in Syria.”

Robert_Fisk2Yemen crisis: What will Saudi Arabia do when – not if – things go wrong in their war with the Shia Houthi rebels? – by Robert Fisk, Independent.co.uk – “Another journalist, the editor-in-chief of the Kuwaiti Arab Times, Ahmed al-Jarallah, concluded a political tribute to King Salman of Saudi Arabia with the observation that ‘leaders of the (Saudi) coalition for virtue and stability in Yemen and the region made their point through their offensive against the tunnel and vice of conspiracy where the bats of extremism, enmity and division incubate’… “Rats” and “incubation” – that’s the kind of language sectarian wars also produce. No-one in the wealthy Gulf states has asked if Saudi Arabia is entering the Yemen war simply because it does not want another Shia state on its border – after the Americans “liberated” Iraq and installed a Shia government in Baghdad. Saudi generals talk of massive casualties among the Houthis – they still say they have not killed civilians, even though they use the tired phrase “collateral damage” in their denials. No-one challenges the boasts of its victory – or dares to mention that this extraordinary coalition is a Sunni force fighting Shia.”

Common Core education: the insane bottom line – by Jon Rappoport, ActivistPost.com – “Every day, new confusions are added to old confusions. Right out there in the open, this was a program of brainwashing. The goal wasn’t planting falsehoods. Under the guise of teaching logic and critical thinking, the goal was mass confusion. Young minds want answers. If you keep denying them those answers, you induce chaos. You pour chaos into what would otherwise be a straightforward process. You demean thinking. You make children believe thinking has no purpose. Do you see? Do your see what that achieves? Schools become factories for insanity. Most people just don’t get this. They don’t see that inducing confusion is a tactic, a weapon. It’s powerful. There should be a whole branch of college learning called Confusion Studies. How it’s done. How it’s manufactured. How it’s used. You could revolutionize higher learning with that.”

Student_WaitingAdult interrogation tactics in schools turn principals into police officers – School administrators are being trained by the largest interrogation trainer in the world to extract confessions. This is only worsening the school-to-prison pipeline – by Alexa Van Brunt, TheGuardian.com – “Adult interrogation methods do not belong in the classroom, so why are school administrators throughout the United States being trained to use them on their students in order to extract confessions?.. John E. Reid & Associates is the largest interrogation trainer in the world and teaches such methods to hundreds of school administrators each year . Last month, members of the Illinois Principals Association, for instance, could register for a “professional development” event on “Investigative Interviewing and Active Persuasion”. The School Administrators Association of New York State recently offered a workshop for administrators on this same topic, titled “Are you Sure They Are Telling the Truth”?.. These administrators are learning the “ Reid Technique ”, which relies on “maximization” and “minimization” tactics in order to induce suspects to confess. Minimization focuses on reducing a suspect’s feelings of guilt, while maximization is designed to heighten suspect anxiety using confrontation. Both techniques are legal and both are incredibly coercive.”

Russian Crimea: One Year Later – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – Aside from storming several military bases and some tense moments in stand-offs with Ukrainian troops, there was no violence when Russian forces began moving into Crimea… Life in Russian Crimea today is exceedingly normal. While a war rages on next door in Ukraine, the people of Crimea enjoy peace, stability, and a sense of unity and hope for the future. Even with economic setbacks delivered by NATO’s attempts to take the horrors they’ve created within Ukraine, and recreate them on the other side of the border in Russia, people are still able to conduct business more or less as they did before the conflict began. Some say the economy has actually improved despite the sanctions.”

Richard_PanSenator Doctor Crosses Over Into Crazy PANts Conspiracy Theorist – by Ginger Taylor, AgeOfAutism.com – ” Over the last few years we have gotten to know Dr. Richard Pan, California State Senator and Big Med operative (to the tune of $182,000 in campaign donations), as he has not only has worked to force everyone in his state into becoming customers of his donors and a corrupt vaccine program, but treated individual parents trying to earnestly advocate for their vaccine injured children like… well like crap… While in 2012, he claimed he wanted to pass his bill not to remove parental choice, but to merely make sure families are educated on vaccination, he now has thrown that out the window and has a new bill to remove choice all together.”

Federal judges declare cops can arbitrarily arrest hundreds of people; citizens have no freedom of assembly – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “However, the case did not make it to the 2nd Circuit panel, and now Lynch and Calabresi have reversed their earlier ruling, now finding that police officers should have qualified immunity from the lawsuit… ‘They were also certainly aware that no official had expressly authorized the protesters to cross the bridge via the roadway,’ Lynch – speaking of the protestors – wrote for the three-judge panel. ‘To the contrary, the officers would have known that a police official had attempted to advise the protestors through a bullhorn that they were required to disperse.’.. Protestors say that only demonstrators who were in the front of the crowd actually heard the warnings, which was a claim the three-judge panel had previously said was credible… Verheyden-Hilliard described the reversal as “extraordinary” and “shocking.”.. ‘This is a message to the people of New York that if they participate in a police-led escorted march they can be suddenly kettled, corralled and mass-arrested,’ she said.”

Adult-Vax-Schedule-2015Adults Targeted as Federal Government Prepares to Track the Unvaccinated – by Theresa Wrangham, NVIC.org – “During the National Vaccine Advisory Committee’s (NVAC) February meeting, American adults were put on notice by Big Brother that non-compliance with federal vaccine recommendations will not be tolerated. Public health officials have unveiled a new plan to launch a massive nationwide vaccination promotion campaign involving private business and non-profit organizations to pressure all adults to comply with the adult vaccination schedule approved by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)… CDC Adult Vaccination Schedule 2015NVAC has authored the National Adult Immunization Plan (NAIP) and, once finalized, the plan will be turned over to the Interagency Adult Immunization Task Force (AIFT) to create an implementation plan. Notably, this task force is composed of “vested interest” stakeholders and no consumer representation for those groups concerned with vaccine safety and informed consent. (emph. added)

Note: from U.S. Defense Department News: NATO Responding to Russia’s Actions Against Ukraine – by Jim Garamone, GlobalSecurity.org – “Russian actions have spurred NATO to make sweeping changes. ‘The adaptation that is taking place now is a very big and fundamental adaptation of the NATO defense posture,’ Stoltenberg said… The alliance is doubling the size of its response force, the secretary general said. Once finished, he said, the lead elements of this force will be able to move in within as little as 48 hours… The alliance, he added, is establishing command and control units in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria… This is just a start, the secretary general said… ‘NATO is ready to defend all allies against any threat, and we see now an increased threat stemming from the concept of hybrid warfare,’ Stoltenberg said… Hybrid warfare is not new, he said. It is basically the combination of military and non-military means applied toward a strategic goal. ‘It’s about covert and overt actions, it’s about deception,’ he said. ‘The new thing is its larger scale, and it’s taking place close to our borders, so we have to focus more on the concept of hybrid warfare.’ ”

Ihor_Kolomoisky-kleptocratUkraine’s Oligarchs Turn on Each Other – by Robert Parry, ConsortiumNews.com – “Last year, Kolomoisky’s brutal militias, which include neo-Nazi brigades, were praised for their fierce fighting against ethnic Russians from the east who were resisting the removal of their president. But now Kolomoisky, whose financial empire is crumbling as Ukraine’s economy founders, has turned his hired guns against the Ukrainian government led by another oligarch, President Petro Poroshenko… On Thursday night, Kolomoisky and his armed men went to Kiev after the government tried to wrest control of the state-owned energy company UkrTransNafta from one of his associates. Kolomoisky and his men raided the company offices to seize and apparently destroy records. As he left the building, he cursed out journalists who had arrived to ask what was going on. He ranted about “Russian saboteurs.” ”

No Longer Quiet on the Eastern Front (Part 2) – This is the second of my three-part series that will explore the expanding fault line between the European Union and Russia, and the early stages of what I believe will eventually become known as the Second Cold War – by Kevin Virgil, ZeroHedge.com – “Unsurprisingly, this contingent of (chicken)hawks is encountering resistance from their EU partners, who are wary of a proxy war on the European continent. Everyone involved knows that, if push comes to shove, Putin is the only player who is willing to send troops to fight in Ukraine. There is not a single NATO signatory that is willing to do the same. This became apparent in 2008, when the Ukrainian government applied to join NATO and was rebuffed by both France and Germany, who cited concerns about “the balance of power between Europe and Russia.” Ukraine has always known that it cannot count on European assistance in the event of a conflict with Russia, and in fact a 2008 poll found that over 40% of Ukrainians expressed suspicion and distrust toward NATO.”

tyler-durden-stencilThe Federal Reserve Bank Must Be Destroyed – by Patrick Barron, ZeroHedge.com – “It matters not who is in charge of the Fed or what rules Congress may insist that it adopts. Once money printing, via fiat or fractional reserve credit creation, is seen to be both feasible, justified, and legal nothing and no one can stop it. The political pressure to fund government programs will be irresistible. Everyone knows that the Fed seemingly has the ability to solve their problem by monetizing the federal debt. Should it refuse to do so, we would see riots in the streets similar to what is happening in Europe as protesters target the European Central Bank… The only solution is to destroy the monster that makes it all possible, the Fed. Without the ability to sell its debt to its own central bank, government would be forced to live within the means set by the will of the people through their elected representatives. The scales would eventually fall from the eyes of both politicians and public as its becomes clear that what government spends comes at the expense of the private economy.” (emph. added)

When It Becomes Serious, First They Lie–When That Fails, They Arrest You – When lying is no longer enough to gain compliance, then the organs of security are unleashed on dissent and resistance – by Charles Hugh Smith, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s is no longer enough; abiding by the laws of the land are no longer enough. What the state demands is not just compliance with its countless laws and regulations, but absolute obedience to its narratives and policies… Anyone who withholds obedience is quickly deemed a traitor–not to the nation or its Constitution, but to the state itself, which is ultimately a collection of cronies and self-serving vested interests protecting their fiefdoms at the expense of the citizenry… When lying is no longer enough to gain compliance, then the organs of security are unleashed on dissent and resistance.This process is well under way in nation-states around the world… If I had to pick the two key operative dynamics of the next 20 years, I would choose: 1. The over-expansion and implosion of credit/debt bubbles. 2. The over-reach of the central state as it seeks to win the hearts and minds of its people by ruthlessly suppressing dissent.”

Abdul-Malik_al-HouthiUS, Israel behind Yemen terrorist attacks: Houthi leader – from PressTV.ir – “Abdul-Malik al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised address on Sunday in reaction to the March 20 deadly attacks which targeted Yemeni worshippers at mosques… Over 140 people were killed and more than 350 suffered injuries in three bomb attacks at the Badr mosque in southern Sana’a and the al-Hashoosh mosque in the northern part of the capital. The ISIL Takfiri terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks… The attacks show that the terrorists are unfamiliar with humane values, he said, adding that the attacks have uncovered the vicious nature of their perpetrators.”

Guiding Obama into Global Make-Believe – by Ray McGovern, OpEdNews.com – “In prepared testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Assistant Secretary Nuland had insinuated that the Russians and the ethnic Russian rebels were to blame. She said, ‘In eastern Ukraine, Russia and its separatist puppets unleashed unspeakable violence and pillage; MH-17 was shot down.’.. This may have been another example of Nuland using “rhetoric” to shape the debate, but it prompted Parry to ask the DNI’s office about what evidence there was to support Nuland’s finger-pointing in this tragic incident that killed 298 people… Kathleen Butler, a DNI spokesperson, insisted that the U.S. intelligence assessment on MH-17 had not changed since July 22, 2014, five days after the shoot-down when the DNI’s office distributed a sketchy report suggesting Russian complicity based largely on what was available on social media.”

Vaccine witch hunt accelerates as city council members told they cannot have opinions on vaccines unless the opinions match official propaganda – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – ” ‘I don’t think he would have been appointed to the board of health by this city council had we known that he had anti-vaccination and anti-science views on this issue,’ said Ben Stuckart, the Spokane City Council President… Fagan maintains that there are studies that have been conducted questioning the effectiveness and safety of immunizations, adding that some lawsuits are also challenging their efficacy. He also says he is speaking his mind as he is permitted to do under the First Amendment’s freedom of speech clause… ‘I believe that the science of vaccinations is not settled yet,’ said Fagan… Other council members, however, say Fagan ought to be encouraging everyone to get vaccines, even if they don’t want them or they haven’t been shown to be safe or effective.

Martelly-ClintonUS Imperialism in Haiti. Criminality of the Michel Martelly Regime – by Ezili Dantò, GlobalResearch.ca – “It’s all true and Haitians in our circle have been naming these crimes and fighting this corruption daily. The misinformation part is that Michel Martelly, Laurent Lamothe and the rest of the US thugs were not put in power by a free Haiti. They’re mere employees of the US bosses who put them in power and keep them in power against the Haitian people’s constant dissent and struggle. The New York Times did not point out that Michel Martelly has been ruling by decree since before Parliament was officially dissolved. It did not list the deep politics and crimes of the top US-Euro bosses in Haiti that orchestrated this travesty. Never mentioned the respondeat superior – how Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama finished the Bushes’ project to destroy democracy and installed outright dictatorship back into Haiti.”

Cuba – Between a Rock and a Hard Place – by Peter Koenig, GlobalResearch.ca – “Two days after Obama’s bold initiative, on 19 December 2015, he went to the Washington Press Club to tell a horde of puppet journalists, conservative politicians and onlookers that soft measures, like reestablishing diplomatic relations with Havana might be more successful in bringing the desired regime change to Cuba than more years of isolation. He couldn’t have been more direct and more honest about his intention. The Cuban Government and whoever else listened didn’t miss the point.”

A Family Business of Perpetual War – Exclusive: Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan have a great mom-and-pop business going. From the State Department, she generates wars and – from op-ed pages – he demands Congress buy more weapons. There’s a pay-off, too, as grateful military contractors kick in money to think tanks where other Kagans work – by Robert Parry, ConsortiumNews.com – “In May 2014, Kagan published a lengthy essay in The New Republic entitled “Superpowers Don’t Get to Retire,” in which Kagan castigated Obama for failing to sustain American dominance in the world and demanding a more muscular U.S. posture toward adversaries… According to a New York Times article about how the essay took shape and its aftermath, writer Jason Horowitz reported that Kagan and Nuland shared a common world view as well as professional ambitions, with Nuland editing Kagan’s articles, including the one tearing down her ostensible boss… Though Nuland wouldn’t comment specifically on her husband’s attack on Obama, she indicated that she held similar views. ‘But suffice to say,’ Nuland said, ‘that nothing goes out of the house that I don’t think is worthy of his talents. Let’s put it that way.’ ”

Poroshenko Says 30% of Soldiers from First-Wave Mobilization Deserted – from Russia-Insider.com – “Almost a third ( 30 per cent) of the first wave of mobilized soldiers are deserters,Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced in an interview with TV channel “Inter”, which aired on Saturday evening, March 21. Excerpt from RIA Novosti: ‘And they were not the sort of guys who did not like the Ukraine. They were just not trained, without adequate preparation, without proper weapons. Coming under the first shelling, psychologically have broken and then they could not bring themselves to go further in the fight,’- said the president.”

BreedloveNATO’s Creepy New Plan to Infiltrate Twitter and Facebook – NATO has announced that “countering false Russian narratives on social media” is a major priority – by Adam Johnson, Alternet.org – “While details of such a plan remain vague, this mindset is part of a broader trend of social media psychological warfare that has been emerging largely unnoticed over the past five years. The first question that is rarely asked by our media is the most important one: what constitutes a “false narrative,” and who decides what constitutes one? Recent attempts by UK authorities to stifle the speech of the Russian-backed, English-language TV station RT show that false narratives are whatever Western governments determine they are.”

FEMA to deny funds to warming deniers – “Starting next year, the agency will approve disaster-preparedness funds only for states whose governors approve hazard-mitigation plans that address climate change”- from MyTechnologyWorld9.blogspot.com – “This may put several Republican governors who maintain that the Earth isn’t warming due to human activities, or prefer to take no action, in a political bind. Their position may block their states’ access to hundreds of millions of dollars in FEMA funds. In the last five years, the agency has awarded an average $1 billion a year in grants to states and territories for taking steps to mitigate the effects of disasters… ‘If a state has a climate denier governor that doesn’t want to accept a plan, that would risk mitigation work not getting done because of politics,’ said Becky Hammer, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program. ‘The governor would be increasing the risk to citizens in that state’ because of his climate beliefs.

Ted-Heidi_CruzTed Cruz: First President of the North American Union? (w/video 15min 30sec) – by Next News Network, ActivistPost.com – “So Ted Cruz stands up and says it’s time to step up and restore the American promise – but what promise is he speaking of? The promise his wife broke when she sold America out to the Council on Foreign relations? The promise she broke when she began work on Building a North American Community?”

US-led strikes kill over 60 Syrian civilians – from PressTV.ir – “The Britain-based so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced on Monday that 66 civilians, among them ten children and six women, died when the air raids hit oil fields and refineries in Syria’s northern province of al-Raqqa, the eastern Deir al-Zor Province, al-Hassakah and Idlib provinces in the northeast as well as the town of Manbij, located 446 kilometers (277 miles) north of the capital, Damascus… Since September 2014, the US along with its regional allies has been conducting airstrikes against the ISIL inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.This is while many of the countries joining the so-called anti-terror coalition, such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have been the staunch supporters of the Takfiri elements fighting against the Syrian government.”

1000_EuroFighting the “War on Terror ” by Banning Cash – by Joseph T. Salerno, Mises.org – “It was just a matter of time before Western governments used the trumped up “War on Terror” as an excuse to drastically ratchet up the very real war on the use of cash and personal privacy that they are waging against their own citizens Taking advantage of public anxiety in the wake of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket, France has taken the first step. It seems the terrorists involved partially financed these attacks by cash, as well as by consumer loans and the sale of counterfeit goods. What a shockeroo! The terrorists used CASH to purchase some of the stuff they needed–no doubt these murderers were also shod and clothed and used cell phones, cars, and public sidewalks during the planning and execution of their mayhem. Why not restrict their use?”

Ukraine’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ Wants 15-Year Prison Terms for Journalists – from SputnikNews.com – “Ukraine’s Minister of Information Policy, Yuri Stets, said in an interview to Radio Liberty that he wants people who work for local television in Donetsk and Luhansk to serve eight to 15 years in prison: ‘I think that it’s effective enough for law enforcement to work there so that people who worked for the channels of the so-called LPR [Luhansk People’s Republic] and DPR [Donetsk People’s Republic] got the following sentences: eight to 15 years.’ ”

Smart Meter Information Consumers Should Know – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “From my research, all Smart Meters are constructed the same regardless of manufacture: Sensus, Landis+Gyr, GE, Itron. Their design and installation [retrofitting] into an existing meter socket is what causes the great potential for damage to a customer’s appliances, and worse, causing fire or explosion… RF radiation emissions from Smart Meters can interfere with the function of Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter type sockets and the ARC-Fault Circuit Interrupter creating other fire hazards and potentials, which Underwriter’s Laboratory or any other organization has not certified for safety issues, as I understand. THAT also is a KEY fire safety issue that doesn’t seem to be addressed. Why? may I ask… The most frequently reported symptoms from exposure to smart meters were (1) insomnia, (2) headaches, (3) tinnitus, (4) fatigue, (5) cognitive disturbances, (6) dysesthesias (abnormal sensation), and (7) dizziness. The effects of these symptoms on people’s lives were significant… The last sentence from the report’s CONCLUSIONS: Interestingly, the vast majority of Victorian cases did not state that they had been sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome (EHS) prior to exposure to the wireless meters, which points to the possibility that smart meters may have unique characteristics that lower people’s threshold for symptom development. ”

Trials of GM ‘super spud’ scheduled after election due to public sensitivity – by Steve Connor, Independent.co.uk – “The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, which has funded Professor Jones’s previous work, has formed an industrial partnership with Simplot, an American company that has just received approval for its own GM potato variety to be grown and sold in the US… However, public opposition to GM foods, especially in parts of Europe, could result in many years of wrangling over regulatory and safety issues before these new crops are seen in UK supermarkets… ‘Even if there were no excessive regulatory barriers, it would take about eight to 10 years. It will be small-scale to start with because it takes time to bulk up,’ Professor Jones said. Earlier field trials had to be protected by a 12ft-high fence and 24-hour security at a cost of £46,000, paid as a one-off supplement by the research council.” (emph. added)

Frankfurt-ECB_RiotCitizens tired of being enslaved by criminal central banks labeled ‘anti-capitalist’ by mainstream media – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “But rather than accurately explain why the protesters were there in the first place — central banks are, in fact, evil, usurious institutions run by private interests that deliberately manipulate currencies, bankrupt governments and impoverish nations — the corrupt media machine is instead railing against them, falsely accusing those who oppose private central banks of being “anti-capitalist.” The idea, of course, is to vilify those who oppose the manipulation of currencies and economies by nefarious entities.”

Saudi Arabia building up military near Yemen border as civil war rages on – Build-up of artillery follows a southward advance by Iranian-backed Houthi Shia militants who took control of the capital Sanaa last year – from Reuters via Telegraph.co.uk – “The buildup follows a southward advance by Iranian-backed Houthi Shia militants who took control of the capital Sanaa in September and seized the central city of Taiz at the weekend as they move closer to the new southern base of US-backed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi… The armor and artillery being moved by Saudi Arabia could be used for offensive or defensive purposes, two US government sources said. Two other US officials said the build-up appeared to be defensive… One US government source described the size of the Saudi buildup on Yemen’s border as “significant” and said the Saudis could be preparing air strikes to defend Hadi if the Houthis attack his refuge in the southern seaport of Aden.”

As a result, the kids were found to have a lower birth weight.”

US Transport Union Urges Use of Deadly Force at Airports – from SputnikNews.com – “A US union representing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) called for the establishment of an additional police force to ensure airport security, which would be allowed to use guns if necessary, CNN reported Tuesday… ‘We have had one of our employees murdered in Los Angeles. We had an attempted murder this Friday in New Orleans. We need law enforcement there that is ready to respond,’ national president of the American Federation of Government Employees J. David Cox said as quoted by CNN… The union urged for new measures after a Friday attack at the New Orleans airport, when a man sprayed passengers and airport security personnel with a wasp spray and threatened them with a machete at a security checkpoint. He was shot and later died of wounds.” – Hmmm, he was shot?.. Must be guns around somewhere…

Kam_BrockWoman held 8 days in NYC psych ward for saying Obama followed her on Twitter — even though he does – by Scott Kaufman, RawStory.com – “When she walked into the NYPD’s Public Service Area 6 stationhouse, she was, by her own admission, “emotional,” but insisted that she was by no means ’emotionally disturbed.’.. The NYPD disagreed — they handcuffed her and sent her to the hospital… She said she was heavily sedated by hospital employees, and she told The Daily News that she only mentioned to doctors that the president follows her on Twitter to show them ‘the type of person I am. I’m a good person, a positive person. Obama follows positive people.’.. Instead, the lawsuit alleges the doctor made her discharge contingent upon her denying that Obama follows her on the social media site. According to her “master treatment plan,” one of the objectives that would trigger her release was that she ‘state that Obama is not following her on Twitter.’.. No one at the hospital, she said, checked her Twitter account for objective proof of the truth of her claim.” (emph. added)

Vaccine-Checkpoint-AheadFederal Government Prepares to Track Unvaccinated Adults – by Theresa Wrangham, HealthImpactNews.com – “The adult immunization plan also “incentivizes” doctors and other vaccine providers to convert patient data into Electronic Health Record (EHR) formats that can then be shared across state and federal electronic databases to track national vaccine coverage rates and also track and identify who is and is not vaccinated. Many states already have electronic vaccine tracking registries (Immunization Information Systems – IIS) in place, but do not share this information due to laws preventing the sharing of personal medical information and/or limited vaccination data on adults. This is where financial and other types of incentives come in to convince vaccine providers and state legislators to participate in the gathering of this private medical information on all adults.” (emph. added)

Pakistan police arrest hundreds of parents refusing to vaccinate kids with deadly vaccine causing paralysis epidemic – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – ” ‘There is no leniency’ if parents refuse the vaccinations, says the deputy police commissioner for Peshawar, Riaz Khan Mahsud. Pakistani officials are tracking down between 13,000 and 16,000 parents who refuse to vaccinate. Many of the helpless, choiceless Pakistanis are persuaded to comply after spending a ‘few days behind bars.’.. Shakirullah Khan, a senior police officer in Peshawar, says parents are allowed to go free if they agree to vaccinate their children. The officials are basically telling everyone that their body and their children’s body are not their own. Everyone’s body belongs to the authorities. All liberty and sovereignty is lost in the process.”

If approved there, it would have to get signed off by Governor Doug Ducey, who has hacked away at state programs while earmarking millions of dollars for private prisons.”

Tyler_Durden-RedBlack Swan 2: This Is “The Next Critical Chapter In The Austrian Banking System Story” – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “When it comes to the sweeping of (trillions of) toxic assets until such time as the ECB starts purchasing not only government bonds but equities, bank loans and really anything else that in a normal world would have some “mark to market” value, Europe had a ready answer: bad banks. A tradition which started with Switzerland and the semi-bailout of UBS during the great financial crisis, “bad banks” have been proposed every time there are a few hundred billion in bad assets that need to be swept away or otherwise removed from the the public eye…In fact, it was just a few hours ago that Spain’s economy minister praised the usefulness of bad banks, which have certainly seen their fair share of use in Spain over the past 5 years.”

Israel sentences Palestinian to 15.5 years in prison – from PressTV.ir – “Zaraj, a member of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, was detained on July 27, 2014 after he and a number of other Palestinian fighters “set explosive charges” on the way of an Israeli military convoy during the Gaza war, the court said… “When [Israeli] soldiers neared the spot, they laid down heavy fire at the accused and members of the squad, which prevented (them)… setting off the charges or returning fire,” the court claimed.”

mark-zuckerberg-7.jpgFacebook reveals its internet drones will be as big as a 737 but weigh as much as a car – and have already been flown in the UK -● Facebook’s drones are set to soar at 60,000ft for months at a time ● They will provide web access to remote areas of the world ● Are being trialled at a secret location in the UK – by Mark Prigg, Dailymail.co.uk – Facebook has already begun flying its giant drones designed to bring internet access to the world, Mark Zuckerberg has revealed.,, ‘As part of our effort to connect the world, we’ve designed unmanned aircraft that can beam internet access down to people from the sky,’ he posted on his Facebook page… ‘Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve successfully completed our first test flight of these aircraft in the UK.’ “

Stock market rigging is no longer a ‘conspiracy theory’ – by John Crudele, NYPost.com – “Last fall, we learned that one American exchange has made intervention in — rigging — foreign governments easier and cheaper to accomplish. In October, it emerged that CME Group, the Chicago exchange that trades options and commodities, had an incentive program under which foreign central banks could buy stock market derivatives like the Standard & Poor’s futures contracts at a discount… As I’ve reported many times, S&P futures contracts are the vehicle of choice for rigging the market. They are a cheap and very powerful way to cause an artificial buying frenzy… After the market’s sizeable drop on Wednesday — the Dow alone lost 292.60 points — be on the lookout today for aggressive S&P futures buying today. It could start in Asia or Europe, but it almost always occurs.”

Harvey_WeinsteinHarvey Weinstein to “Anti-Semites”: “Kick These Guys in the Ass” – by Jonas E. Alexis, VeteransToday.com – “Weinstein brags: ” ‘I think it’s time that we, as Jews, get together with the Muslims who are honorable and peaceful — but we [also] have to go and protect ourselves. We have to build, once again, back into the breach. There’s a quote from Kurt Vonnegut’s book The Sirens of Titan and it always was the motto of Miramax and now The Weinstein Company… ‘It says, ‘Good can triumph over evil if the angels are as organized as the mafia.’ That’s how we built our company! And, unfortunately, we [Jews] are gonna have to get as organized as the mafia. We just can’t take it anymore. We just can’t take these things. There’s gotta be a way to fight back….We need to stand up and kick these guys in the ass.’.. ‘And, unlike World War II, when we didn’t act right away and we paid the price, we better start acting now. Trust me, I’m the last guy who wants to do anything about it, but I realize if we don’t, we will perish. We can’t allow the bad guys to win. So, as they say in The Godfather, ‘back to the mattresses,’ and back to the idea that we will not ever forget what happened to us.’ “

MMR vaccine contains recombinant HUMAN albumin – by S. D. Wells, NaturalNews.com – “So then, let’s define recombinant and remove any “clouds of doubt” about it: Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination, such as molecular cloning, in order to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, thus creating sequences that would NOT otherwise be found in biological organisms… Did you know that, in Germany, there is a “clean” vaccine for the politicians? Why not for the people they “govern” and “represent”? Are 280 million Americans falling for the scam of artificial immunity? Yet it’s the German scientists of past that invented and manufactured Zyklon B and mustard gas, and it’s those German scientists that the US hired to create toxic food additives and, yes, chemotherapy.”

MaduroMaduro slams ‘psychological war’ against Venezuela – from PressTV.ir – “Maduro said the new operation adds to recent “aggression” from the US and aims to “generate fear and anguish” among the Venezuelan people, China’s official state news agency, Xinhua, reported on Wednesday… “They want to promote rumors to make the people forget about the imperial attacks against our homeland and once again deepen the economic war by stimulating hoarding, shortages and smuggling of basic products,” he said… The campaign is being coordinated from the Colombian capital city of Bogota and the US city of Miami by Venezuelan fugitive right-wing political adviser, Juan Jose Rendon, Maduro added.”

New Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Expel the Patriot Act – by Josh Paniagua, ActivistPost.com – “Another aspect worth noting is the proposed liberation from federal influence for electronics manufacturers. Section 7 of the bill restricts the government from ordering manufacturers to leave holes in their devices and software that allow federal agencies easy access to personal devices and information… As great as it sounds, will this bill actually succeed? Realistically speaking, it will likely get smacked down like every other attempt to challenge the Patriot Act. Despite how outrageous it is, the Patriot Act still has a long line of supporters including President Obama… …it’s quite feasible mass surveillance isn’t going away anytime soon.” – Ya think?

For the week of 3/16/15:

Jeh_Johnson-I_WantNAU at Work? Canadian, Mexican Border Agents Can Now Work Within US, Carry Firearms – from TheDailyBell.com – “Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson have signed a customs pre-clearance agreement for rail, land and sea travel that was years in the making. The arrangement would allow customs agents to work in each other’s countries, which means they could screen passengers away from the border and ease the choke points… …Maryscott Greenwood of the Canadian American Business Council said the agreement will use modern technology to speed up things at the border. ‘It’s dramatic, it’s historic, it’s a big day in Canada-U.S. relations,’ she said. The statement says the agreement applies to all modes of transport, which could include passenger vehicles. It also says customs agents will be allowed to carry firearms in each other’s countries.” – and don’t forget, the NAU is a CONSPIRACY THEORY.

US_Drone-Latakia_SyriaBREAKING: US Plane Shot Down by Syrian Air Defenses Over Latakia – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “The location of this incident is absolutely key to this story. It happened far away from “ISIS-held territory”. If the US were conducting surveillance against Syrian government military targets, assets or even persons – would be the case with CIA-JSOC targeted drone assassinations and not against ‘ISIS/ISIL’ targets around Raqqa, Syria, then this would indicate a CIA intelligence-gathering operation, or assassination operation originating in Erbil. As it turns out, Erbil is classified as a ‘Joint Operating Center’ which means that drones there could be under CIA rather than US military command.”

Putin To Nationalise Rothschild Central Bank – from Euro-med.dk via YourNewsWire.com – “To put the plan straightforward: 1. A split in the government, 2. Identification of the fifth column in government, in business, in the media, 3. purge 4. a parallel active position on the Ukraine, because Ukraine and Russia is the same – like Putin said. With these words he defined his position and strategy for Russia… Nationalization of the Central Bank of Russia would be the first signal and mean the final breach with Rothschild´s City of London / the British Empire / the “British (banksters) Crown” and its tool, the United States. Their Relationship has been tense since Putin´s seizure of the Rothschild/Chodorkowsky’s Yukos shares. Therefore, Putin hesitates with the nationalization. He also still needs authorization to enforce his plan as a strong man. For this he needs a “great necessity” which is supposedly imminent because of US aggression.”

Schuchat-WarrenCDC blatantly lied about vaccine safety in congressional hearings – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “During a recent congressional hearing, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Director Dr. Anne Schuchat, M.D., told Congress that there is absolutely no scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism, mental disorders, allergies or autoimmune disease… Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Big Pharma hack who recently proposed eliminating all criminal penalties for drug companies that injure or kill people with their deadly products, asked Dr. Schuchat a series of softball questions about vaccines, upon which she denied that vaccines are in any way dangerous… The hearing was apparently held to put “vaccine conspiracy theorists in their place,” to quote the drug industry-sponsored news company MSNBC. But what it actually did was prove, yet again, that those entrusted with protecting public health are actively lying to the American public in order to push the vaccine agenda.” (emph. added)

Already Underway: Smart A.I. Running Our Police and Cities – by Pippa King, 21stCenturyWire.com “Of course, because CCTV cameras are not at head height and persons of interest do not always have their face aimed at the camera, it could be the back or top of the head or the particular person could be wearing a cap, therefore analysing the whole body makes sense. It’s still the same outcome as using our biometrics, agencies being able to track us individually, covertly…Moving surveillance cameras to a height that facial recognition software can operate seems to be where polices agencies are moving towards. On March 9th Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for surveillance cameras to be moved to head height;.. ‘We‘ve got a strategy to encourage people to do with their cameras, is to move them down to eye level… facial recognition software has got better it means we can apply the software to the images of burglaries or robberies whatever, so we can compare those images with the images we take when we arrest people.’ ”

Stephen_Harper-Zio-GlobalistImpending Threat to Canadian Democracy: Harper Government’s “Anti-Terrorism Act” isn’t about Terrorism, it’s a Torture Act – by Prof Michael Keefer, GlobalResearch.ca – “But the Anti-Terrorism Act is more mortally dangerous to Canadian democracy than even these indications would suggest. A central section of the act empowers CSIS agents to obtain judicial warrants—on mere suspicion, with no requirement for supporting evidence—that will allow them to supplement other disruptive actions against purported enemies of Harperland with acts that directly violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and other Canadian laws… The only constraints placed on this legalized law-breaking are that CSIS agents shall not “(a) cause, intentionally or by criminal negligence, death or bodily harm to an individual; (b) wilfully attempt in any manner to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice; or (c) violate the sexual integrity of an individual.” (emph. added) – OK, now I feel better about this…

USDX Deflation – by Alfred Adask, Adask.wordpress.com – “Given that government needs inflation to: 1) devalue the fiat dollar and allow the gov-co to repay the National Debt with “cheaper dollars”; and 2) stimulate the economy—the past 7 or 8 months (since July of A.D. 2014), something really strange has been happening. As measured on the US Dollar Index (USDX), the purchasing power of the fiat dollar (as compared to half a dozen other fiat currencies) has jumped by 25%… That’s evidence of deflation… P.S. When I wrote the previous article last Saturday, I predicted that the “vertical” rise in the dollar’s value could not last long and, when it turned, it would most likely go almost straight down… Today, Wednesday, the fiat dollar fell almost two points on the USDX… It’s too early to say that that astonishing reversal marks an end to the deflationary spike in the USDX–but it might. Tomorrow, the dollar might again spike upward. But there’s at least a chance that today’s 2-point fall on the USDX might be evidence that much of what I’ve written above is roughly correct… We shall see.

Dino-ChemtrailsFedGov Moves To Seize Water Rights From 100,000 Montanans: “All Surface Water And Wells” – by Jeremiah Johnson, SHTFPlan.com – “We can see a pattern developing. Local and state politicians use the Indian tribes as a tool to pursue a much larger agenda: the removal of private property from the hands of citizens and the transfer of control into the hands of the federal government. The politicians then receive federal funding to pursue their initiatives. Now a long line of bureaucrats enters the parade: the EPA to save the environment, the DOJ to save the legal rights of the oppressed, the Department of the Interior to manage the tribes’ revenues, and the DHS as the protector-enforcer… There are many areas in the United States where water rights are either under assault or threatened by the federal government in this manner: the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the waters of the Colorado River, and the Ogallala Aquifer (used by almost ¼ of the U.S.), to name a few. The important issue to consider with this is the abrogation of Constitutional Law and private property rights and the federal government making its own laws by bureaucratic edict.

Obscure California Committee Moves to Expand How Police Access and Use DMV Photos – by Dave Maass, EFF.org – “By our count, that’s three times the CLETS committee and subcommittee has been told that their plans run counter to the law and three times they’ve decided to move forward anyway. There may be a fourth time, depending on how those closed-door meetings went, which we may learn more about at the committees’ March 25 meetings in Folsom… EFF is extremely concerned about the prospects of police around the country having the ability to access Californians’ records with insufficient accountability measures in place. We have also long been wary of the growing use of facial recognition technology, which can allow police to identify everyday citizens who aren’t involved in a crime, including through scanning photos on social media. Most of all, we are alarmed at how quickly these advisory committees are moving forward while dismissing the DMV’s legal concerns.”

Rami_Abdul_RahmanHere We Go Again: YouTube Clips Of Syrian “Chemical Attacks” Are Back – Meet The Man Behind The Propaganda – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.org – According to Reuters, “a group monitoring the Syrian civil war said on Tuesday government forces carried out a poison gas attack that killed six people in the northwest, and medics posted videos of children suffering what they said was suffocation.” Of course it could be just a bunch of actors like in the summer of 2013, but that’s irrelevant – there is a YouTube clip out there and it is only a matter of time before John Kerry latches on to it as this year’s pretext to declare war on Syria… Syria would laugh if it could, however it can’t: a Syrian military source described the report of an attack in the village of Sarmin in Idlib province as propaganda. ‘We confirm that we would not use this type of weapon, and we don’t need to use it,’ the source said… Too late: the “facts” are out there: ‘The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the conflict through a network of sources, said the six dead included a man, his wife and their three children. It cited medical sources as saying they died as a result of gas from barrel bombs dropped late on Monday and that the chemical used was likely chlorine. Dozens more were wounded in the attack, the Observatory said. Reuters could not independently verify the report.’ ”

Canadian Minister: Chris Alexander Delivers a Troubling Speech on Ukraine – Video and Transcript – “Vladimir Putin is behaving like a terrorist.” – from InformationClearingHouse.info – “We know, as you know, that Vladimir Putin is only going to face his comeuppance, that his whole, mad nightmare is only going to come apart at the seams, when the whole world is standing against him, with every option on the table, denouncing his illegal action and standing with Ukraine with military assistance, and with every other form of assistance… This is the biggest issue facing the world today…in my view. I think in the view of our prime minister, and our team…Yes, there is terrorism. Vladimir Putin is behaving like a terrorist. And he was taught by an organization, trained by an organization that specialized in training terrorists. So there’s no surprise there. ”

How The CIA Funds Terrorism In Plain Sight – by Stuart Hooper, 21stCenturyWire.com – “The ideas presented above suggest that al Qaeda getting the CIA’s money was done without their knowledge and was an unintended consequence of funneling cash-for-influence into Kabul. Another analytical option also exists – money laundering… It is entirely possible that the CIA knew exactly what this money was going to be used for. Would they not have had the entire Presidential Palace under constant surveillance? Surely, the CIA would want to know that their cash was indeed buying the influence they so desired. It is also ridiculous to think that the agency would not have known about the situation with the Afghan diplomat; they are paid to know such things… Therefore, could the CIA have been laundering money to al Qaeda? Sending cash to the Afghan government would probably qualify as at least somewhat legal, meaning it would be possible to claim ignorance when it comes to that cash finding its way to al Qaeda – ‘How could we possibly know they would use it like that?!’ In the previous paragraph we just laid out exactly how that would be possible.

GooglitesWill Google Game the System against Natural Health? – from ANH-USA.org – “The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, a database of “facts” that Google has pulled off the Internet. Apparently, if a significant majority of Internet sites agree on a statement, it is considered a reasonable proxy for the truth. Pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings—which means that anything “alternative” will, by definition, be ranked lower… Google’s ranking system is its own business, but it currently enjoys a virtual monopoly in the field, and needs to stick to a system that is transparently objective. Otherwise, searchers should beware of the gatekeepers who make behind-the-scenes decisions about what information we have access to. New strategies and methods for searching the web would be needed if Google becomes a source of misinformation in our field the way Wikipedia already is.” (emph. added)

Exposed: Unions involved in sinister covert operations – Project C.O.M.E.T. exposed – by Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub.com – “Once the union “salters” reach over 50% of the total employees, they legally have the right to organize. At this stage a union official is sent to the company owner to give them a notice that their company has over 50% of union members in his or her force. The union will then demand that the owner sign a union contract or they will pull all of their employees, leaving the owner high and dry, knowing very well that the owner will be unable to replace these workers in any sort of timely manner, thus putting the owner in a bind due to the busy nature of the corporation that was “salted” in the first place. If the union pulls its workers the owner likely faces the prospect of going out of business. If the owner is bold and decides to fire all the union workers the union will instantly report this to the Dept. of Labor. This is known as “discrimination of union members”. The owner will then be forced to rehire the workers and pay them back wages for every day the workers were off work — just another example of a provision put into place by illegal mob dealings with judges.

Thierry_Meyssan2 What lies behind the anti “conspiracy theorist” discourse – The State Against The Republic – by Thierry Meyssan, VoltaireNet.org – The terms “conspiracy theories” and “conspiracy theorism” have developed in France in the wake of the publication of my book on US imperialism post-September 11, titled The Big Lie. At the time, we had trouble understanding what the terms meant because they referred to American political history. In the United States, are commonly called “conspiracy theorists” those according to whom President Kennedy had not been assassinated by one man but by many, forming a conspiracy (in the judicial sense). Over time, these expressions entered in the French language and have overlapped with memories of the 30s and the Second World War, those of the denunciation of the “Jewish conspiracy”… Let’s not be naive, we are approaching an inevitable showdown. It remains to be determined which instance, necessarily administrative, will be in charge of censorship and what will be its criteria.”

France Moves to Make ‘Conspiracy Theories’ Illegal by Government Decree – from 21stCenturyWire – “Putting aside history’s ‘big ticket’ items though, the real reason for this authoritarian trend is much more fundamental. By knocking out their intellectual competition, political elites and their media moguls hope to minimalize, and thus eliminate any alternative analysis and opinion by applying the completely open-ended and arbitrary label of “extremist” to speech. They want to wind back the clock, where a pre-internet, monolithic corporate media cartel held a monopoly on ideas… Although France has taken the lead in this inter-governmental effort (see below), the preliminary assault began this past fall with British Prime Minster David Cameron publicly announcing on two separate occasions, that all of these so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ (anything which challenges the official orthodoxy) should be deemed as “extremist” and equivalent to “terrorist” and should be purged from society on the grounds of ‘national security’. The first came with Cameron’s warped speech at the UN, and afterwards, a similar charge was made by the UK leader against anyone who dares press the issue of institutional paedophilia and child abuse.”

Joel_Harding-Info_OpsCan the Ukrainian Government Target American Journalists in America? – by George Eliason – “If you are a journalist writing about or a person concerned about issues like Free Speech, read or write in alternative media or news, Occupy movement, Ferguson, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, police brutality, US interventionism, fair government, homelessness, keeping the government accountable, representative government, government intrusions like the NSA is doing, or you are liberal, progressive, libertarian, conservative, separation of church and state, religion, … If you have a website, write, read, or like something in social media that strays outside the new lines the war isn’t coming, its now here… What would we do? Disrupt, deny, degrade, deceive, corrupt, usurp or destroy the information. The information, please don’t forget, is the ultimate objective of cyber. That will directly impact the decision-making process of the adversary’s leader who is the ultimate target.”- Joel Harding on Ukraine’s cyber strategy”

U.S. Treasury secretary says ‘dangerous’ not to pass IMF reforms – by Anna Yukhananov, Reuters.com – “U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Wednesday said failure by Congress to authorize reforms at the International Monetary Fund it was “dangerous” and would limit U.S. leverage on issues such as the China-led infrastructure bank… But a senior Republican lawmaker expressed doubt Congress would take up the reforms this year, increasing the likelihood the IMF would seek to move ahead without the United States… The fund’s member countries agreed in 2010 to reform the institution to give more say to emerging countries, but the Obama administration has so far been unable to persuade Congress to pass necessary funding changes.”

David_Tohidy-w-Petitions_to_MailCanadian Man Acts to Stop Chemtrails – by Davoud Tohidy, HenryMakow.com – “I believe chemtrails exist because I see them being sprayed with my own eyes. I have felt different side effects such as arthritis at my age!! Neck ache for two weeks which are symptoms of chemtrails. Secondly, credible individuals such as Ted Gunderson former L.A FBI chief and a NASA Scientist talk about Chemtrails. Plus, there are several patents proving that the technology exists… I contacted private investigators, politicians, newspapers, churches, activists, organizations, companies and people all around the world and sent them the pdf file via email… Despite the criminals’ efforts to stop this Petition, our Petition was presented to Parliament by Mr. Alex Atamanenko, MP on Oct 21, 2013. and I have created a Youtube of the presentation. It has been recorded in Hansard and this is a great accomplishment. The government has 45 days to answer, which I expect will be lies and denials. That is why I am preparing a criminal lawsuit. [Listen to an interview with Atamenenko here.]…Please join me at my website and help to send some criminals behind the crime of geoengineering / Chemtrails spraying behind bars for the rest for their lives. You can Donate or be a Plaintiff in the lawsuit. I guaranty that every dollar of your donations will be spent towards restoring our nature and our planet.”

The Sky Does NOT Lie – Funny thing, an aerosol assault on sunshine sure appears to be what I’m seeing – by Rand Clifford, VeteransToday.com – “When this morning’s fog began to clear, spray planes had obviously been very busy dogging the sun. Most planes sprayed horizon to horizon east to west or west to east, eighty percent of them near the path of the sun. Sometimes they don’t turn on the spray until approaching the sun…and turn off the spray a ways past the sun. Also, on moderate spray days, virtually all aerosol is sprayed near the track of the sun. So SRM is obviously an objective…but they also spray at night, often in the face of the moon. Complications galore, the aerosols are quite the toolkit, but SAG is uncomplicated in terms of exactly what it looks like right now: spraying of aerosol sunscreen… Another plane is spraying east-to-west just below the plane clearing the Idaho panhandle, spraying Montana. In a stretch of a trail several minutes old, aerosols are getting ropy on the downside…weepy-looking…taking on an edge of teeth on a giant bandsaw blade; aerosols cutting through stratosphere to smear into cloud… Touchdown, the sun has fuzzed out of sight in the creamy end zone.

Mr_Bill-O-No-GMOGMO imperialism: Bill Gates and biotech industry are forcing unwilling African countries to accept costly, untested GMOs – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – ” ‘The U.S., the world’s top producer of GM crops, is seeking new markets for American GM crops in Africa,’ said Haidee Swanby of the African Center for Biosafety, which authored the report commissioned by Friends of the Earth International. ‘The U.S. administration’s strategy consists of assisting African nations to produce biosafety laws that promote agribusiness interests instead of protecting Africans from the potential threats of GM crops.’.. In addition, the new report “exposes” the manner in which Monsanto uses its clout to negatively influence biosafety measures in African nations, how the agri-giant gets its regulatory approval for its products, and opens the door for its GMO maize.”

Tyler_Durden-SoapGreeks Take It To The Mattresses As Graccident Looms – by Tyler Durden – “Bank of Greece data also revealed how much more onerous central borrowing is becoming for Greek banks. For example in December Greek banks posted €10bn of extra collateral for borrowing an additional €11bn from the central bank, in January they posted €38bn of extra collateral for borrowing an additional €30bn and in February they posted €47bn of extra collateral for borrowing an additional €17bn. As of the end of February Greek banks had €104bn of central bank borrowing with collateral of €180bn, i.e. the average haircut was 42%… ….and on what happens next… What will happen if Greek banks reach the maximum borrowing estimated above? The ECB has the flexibility to adjust haircuts to allow Greek banks to borrow more from the Bank of Greece for a given amount of collateral. So there is some flexibility in order to avoid triggering capital controls but what is clear is that the Greek banking system cannot withstand another big wave of deposit outflows.”

DoD Moves Forward on Ukraine National Guard Training – by Cheryl Pellerin, GlobalSecurity.org – “”We plan on sending about 290 U.S. service members, specifically paratroopers from the [Army’s] mighty 173rd ‘Sky Soldiers’ Airborne Brigade based in Vicenza, Italy,” he said, to train six Ukraine National Guard companies with a focus on internal security and territorial defense… The training will be conducted in western Ukraine at the International Peacekeeping and Security Center (War is Peace) in Yavoriv, near the border with Poland, Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said… There will also be training for headquarters personnel, she added, focusing on the continued professionalization of Ukrainian staff members… The training is part of a long-term strategy to build Ukraine’s capacity and capabilities, she added, and to help increase the professionalism of its forces… Also in the region, Warren said, U.S. European Command yesterday began executing a large-scale defense exercise called Austere Challenge 2015 that will involve 4,000 U.S. service members… The exercise consists of command-post simulations and aims to train and prepare Eucom and component command headquarters staffs to plan for and respond to crises, Warren said. The exercise is taking place at several locations in Germany and the United Kingdom, he added.” (emph. added)

Guy_McPhersonA Meeting With Scientist Guy McPherson – by Dane Wigington, GeoengineeringWatch.org – “Guy seemed to be in a defensive stance when he stated the following to me “geoengineering isn’t happening”. After a moments pause I replied that there was no question of the geoengineering reality as we have film footage of numerous military tankers spraying at altitude, KC 10s, KC 135s, C-17 Globmasters, etc. In regard to the film footage I mentioned that we had, Guy responded “no you don’t” (what kind of reply is this?). I reiterated that we absolutely do have film footage of jet tankers spraying taken up close at altitude (in addition to the lab tests and mountains of additional data, all of which McPherson refused to consider in any way). McPherson then said “If you choose to believe in the flying spaghetti monster, that does not mean I have to”. This is word for word what he said. How completely astounding is this statement? I pointed out to Guy that the entire science community was openly and actively discussing the issue of geoengineering and the need to deploy these programs. Governments around the globe are doing the same.” (emph. added)

The counted: inside the search for the real number of police killings in the US – by Tom McCarthy, TheGuardian.com – “…the United States has no uniform count of people killed by police officers. The problem of missing data stems from more than just police obstructionism or oversight. A national infrastructure for data collection has never been built. Instead a confusing mosaic of city, state and county reporting leaves too many cracks for data to fall through, without imposing consequences for local police failing to report when they kill those they are sworn to protect… A justice department investigation of the FBI’s published statistics has already revealed the worst from a data standpoint: more than half the people killed by local and state law enforcement officers in the US went uncounted in the country’s most authoritative crime statistics every year, for almost a decade.”

Grad_LauncherJunk metal show in Kiev and Poroshenko’s mental defeat – by Andrey Fomin, VoltaireNet.org – “Ok, the conclusion of this grotesque exhibition in Kiev is simple: the incumbent Ukrainian authorities do not have a single serious evidence proving thier hysterical claims about “the Russian aggression in Ukraine”. Both their internal and external policies are false and based on deliberate lies and erroneous presumptions. Being unable to change the bellicose rhytoric, president Poroshenko’s regime is rapidly sliding into total collapse.”

Chemtrails Not Just for Weather Modification Anymore: Vaccines On The Wind – by Roger Landr, TheLibertyBeacon.com – “A UC biomedical engineering study appearing in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, Sept. 27, 2009, successfully inserted the modified core of a nanomotor, a microscopic biological machine, into a lipid membrane. The resulting channel enabled them to move both single- and double-stranded DNA through the membrane… Doug Dorst, a microbiologist and vaccine critic in South Wales, says these advances have an immense appeal to vaccine makers. “Biotech companies and their researchers have quickly moved most funding initiatives towards nanotechnology to increase the potency of their vaccines,” he said. If microorganisms inside of vaccines can be coaxed into targeting or invading specific cells, they could achieve their goal at an accelerated rate over conventional vaccines. “Depending on which side of the vaccine debate you’re on, whether pro or con, nanobots inside vaccine preparations could advance their effectiveness exponentially by either dramatically improving or destroying immunity depending on their design,” he added. – A small part of the great info in this article

What Chemtrails Are Doing To Your Brain w/Video – Neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock Reveals Shocking Facts – by Dr. Russell Blaylock, EducateYourself.org – “My major concern is that there is evidence that they are spraying tons of nanosized aluminum compounds. It has been demonstrated in the scientific and medical literature that nanosized particles are infinitely more reactive and induce intense inflammation in a number of tissues. Of special concern is the effect of these nanoparticles on the brain and spinal cord, as a growing list of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) are strongly related to exposure to environmental aluminum… Nanoparticles of aluminum are not only infinitely more inflammatory, they also easily penetrate the brain by a number of routes, including the blood and olfactory nerves (the smell nerves in the nose). Studies have shown that these particles pass along the olfactory neural tracts, which connect directly to the area of the brain that is not only most effected by Alzheimer’s disease, but also the earliest affected in the course of the disease.

Dieudonne-CourtFrench comedian sentenced for ‘condoning terrorism’ in FB post – from RT.com – “The 49-year-old Dieudonne M’bala M’bala, or simply Dieudonne has been convicted for being “an apologist for terrorism” over a Facebook post he made following attacks in France that killed 17 people… “I feel like Charlie Coulibaly,” he wrote in a coined phrase on Facebook on January 11, four days after the Charlie Hebdo attack, allegedly making a mockery of the slogan “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie) a global rallying cry against extremism. The second part of the phrase mimicked the name of Amedy Coulibaly, the gunman who killed four people at a Paris kosher supermarket… Prosecutor Annabelle Philippe argued that Dieudonne is guilty of presenting ‘in a favourable light the acts committed by Amedy Coulibaly.’ ‘The feeling of hostility towards the Jewish community that Dieudonne kept up in front of a public attracted by his charisma increases his responsibility,’ the court argued. The prosecution was seeking a harsher sentence of up to 7 years in prison and a potential 100,000 euro ($106,000) fine… Dieudonne, who was not present at court during the sentencing on Wednesday, was also fined €30,000 ($35,000), which, if not paid, will result in a prison term.” (emph. added)

Delta_Force-KobaniUS Special Forces caught red-handed in Syria – from NSNBC.me – “News about the presence of U.S. and allied special forces is not a novelty per se. In 2012 a senior British Whitehall official would leak to The Daily Star that British SAS and other NATO member’s special forces had been operating in Syria for months… Also in 2012, nsnbc international obtained a copy of the U.S. Special Forces training circular TC 18-01 entitled Special Forces Unconventional Warfare… A study of the document revealed that the wars on Libya, Syria and Iraq follow a detailed U.S. strategy that outlines a step-by-step subversion of a country from the assessment of a feasible, cooperative opposition to guerrilla war and regime change.”

A Guide to Washington’s Covert Agenda in the Ukraine – Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, Washington is still as determined as ever to try and escalate tensions in the Ukraine – by 21stCenturyWire.com and Robert Parry – “For the New York Times, the Washington Post and the rest of major U.S. press, everything has been explained as “Russian aggression” with Putin supposedly having plotted the entire series of events as a way to conquer much of Europe as the new Hitler. Even though the evidence reveals that Putin was caught off-guard by the coup next door, the U.S. media has insisted on simply passing along Nuland’s propaganda themes… Thus, it is a safe bet that when the current ceasefire breaks down and the killing resumes, all the American people will hear is that it was Putin’s fault, that he conspired to destroy the peace as part of his grand scheme of “aggression.” And, the Nuland-Yatsenyuk sabotage of Minsk-2 will be the next part of this troubling story to disappear into the memory hole.”

Adam_AbrahamStillness and the Power of Thoughts – by Adam Abraham, Phaelosopher.com – “Though immeasurable, thoughts are not “still.” Even they have, and cause motion. The Russell’s make it clear that the quality of Stillness allows differentials of motion to occur. When factored in with intelligent imagining, said differentials of movement, on levels both within, and beyond our “bandwidth” of material sense perception, create the infinite variety that we know as “Life.”.. Stillness is present as a Source and Center of all motion. As such, Stillness will be an integral part of each thought, which is in motion, though invisible, as it is to any visible movement, from subatomic, to macroscosmic. Stillness is the fulcrum between the complementary polar wave forms that are normally perceived as “opposing” “positive” and “negative” in their orientation.”

Commentary: The feds’ plan to force vaccines on adults – by Lee Hieb, M.D., WND.com – “Like everything else that’s truly important, it is very simple: If you Americans do not stand against this, it’s over. What liberty do you have if the federal government can force you to have a medical procedure, can force you to surrender your very body to their control? Answer: none. Because there is nothing that cannot be justified on the basis of “the good of society.” The Jewish Holocaust, the Great Leap Forward, the killing of the Kulaks, American Eugenics, Tuskegee experimentation, the cold water experiments of Birkenau, Dachau and Auschwitz, all were justified at the time by their respective leaders as for the good of society. Even doctors start believing that they can determine who should die or be sterilized for the good of the whole society. And if you as a doctor have qualms, it is much easier to just throw up your hands and say you have no choice – it’s a government mandate… The position paper of the Department of Health and Human Services refers repeatedly to consulting the multiple “stakeholders” involved in vaccination decisions: “synergies between state, local, territorial, and tribal governments; health care providers; advocacy groups; vaccine manufacturers; academia and research organizations; payers and health plans; employers; and the general public.” They even cite the military. But, who is the real stakeholder? It is you. There is no “general public” when it comes to decisions about your personal health. No one cares more about the risks versus benefits of vaccination than you do personally. To leave it to a group, to treat you as a member of a group for medical care, is not ethical medicine. It is the stuff of jails and forced labor camps and socialist hellholes – and apparently American academia and bureaucrats. It is time to say no. Although he was probably confused at the time, I’ll quote Al Sharpton: “Resists we much.” (emph. added)

What’s Your “Daily Value” of Glyphosate? – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “I think a similar connection can be made regarding canola oil, since many people I know experience gastrointestinal distress after eating that highly-touted oil. The Cornucopia Institute’s “Gut-Wrenching: New Studies Reveal the Insidious Effects of Glyphosate” is something every person ought to read and seriously consider, I think. And, believe it or not, but glyphosate has been found in human urine!.. Wouldn’t it be ironic, though, if some federal health/food agency were to establish a Daily Value for glyphosate, since it’s apparently being used as if it were compost?.. However and unbelievably, in 2013, the U.S. EPA increased the allowable limits of glyphosate in food crops from 200 ppm to 6,000 ppm—a 30-fold increase from its original allowable limits! What does that tell you?” (emph. added)

Justice Dept orders banks to CALL THE POLICE if you attempt to withdraw too much of your own cash – from GovtSlaves.com – “Earlier this week, a senior official from the Justice Department spoke to a group of bankers about the need for them to rat out their customers to the police… What a lot of people don’t realize is that banks are already unpaid government spies… Federal regulations in the Land of the Free REQUIRE banks to file ‘suspicious activity reports’ or SARs on their customers. And it’s not optional… Banks have minimum quotas of SARs they need to fill out and submit to the federal government… If they don’t file enough SARs, they can be fined. They can lose their banking charter. And yes, bank executives and directors can even be imprisoned for noncompliance.”

After The Fed Crushed The Middle Class, It Is Targeting The American Family – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Of course this is perhaps all part and parcel of the Fed’s implicit attempt to exacerbate inequality in America by equating the “wealth” part of the term “wealth effect” with financial assets. The result of this, despite Janet Yellen’s best efforts at explaining to low income Americans that it’s a good idea to have assets, is a growing divide between the rich and the poor and this divide is not only getting wider thanks to the central bank’s efforts to inflate the value of the very types of assets that the poor are unlikely to own, but is in fact now destroying the American family.”

monsanto-Still_Poisoning-664x373Monsanto’s Deep Legacy of Corruption and Cover-Up – The History of a CHEMICAL company – by Barbara Minton, NaturalSociety.com – “From 1929 until 1995, Monsanto operated a chemical plant in the small town of Nitro, West Virginia, where it manufactured Agent Orange. In 1949, a pressure valve blew on a tank of the herbicide, sending plumes of smoke and vapors containing dioxin throughout the town, coating residents and the homes they lived in with powdery residue… In a short time, some people developed skin eruptions and were diagnosed with an enduring and disfiguring condition known as chloracne. Others had prolonged pain extending from their chest to their feet. According to a medical report following the explosion, ‘It caused a systemic intoxication in the workers involving most major organ systems.’ ”

Iraq_Army_ColumnUS-led coalition not helping Iraq in Tikrit: Analyst (w/Video) – from PressTV.ir – The political commentator says the Iraqi military operation to liberate the strategic city of Tikrit is significant as it is taking place without particular assistance from the US-led coalition purportedly fighting ISIL. He also highlighted reports that the United States has refused to provide air cover for Iraqi forces during the ongoing operations… Al-Isa also strongly criticized Riyadh for funding and arming the ISIL terrorists and the Ba’athi elements currently operating across the militancy-riddled region.”

The Global Dollar Funding Shortage Is Back With A Vengeance And “This Time It’s Different” – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “The last time the world was sliding into a US dollar shortage as rapidly as it is right now, was following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The response by the Fed: the issuance of an unprecedented amount of FX liquidity lines in the form of swaps to foreign Central Banks. The “swapped” amount went from practically zero to a peak of $582 billion on December 10, 2008… The USD shortage back, and the Fed’s subsequent response, was the topic of one of our most read articles of mid-2009, ‘How The Federal Reserve Bailed Out The World.’.. As we discussed back then, this systemic dollar shortage was primarily the result of imbalanced FX funding at the global commercial banks, arising from first Japanese, and then European banks’ abuse of a USD-denominated asset-liability mismatch, in which the dollar being the funding currency of choice, resulted in a massive matched synthetic “Dollar short” on the books of commercial bank desks around the globe: a shortage which in the aftermath of the Lehman failure manifested itself in what was the largest global USD margin call in history. This is how the BIS described first the mechanics of the shortage…”

Consumer_Orders-1990-20157 Signs That A Stock Market Peak Is Happening Right Now – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “Throughout 2014 and for the early stages of 2015, stocks have been on quite a tear. Even though the overall U.S. economy continues to be deeply troubled, we have seen the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq set record after record. But no bull market lasts forever – particularly one that has no relation to economic reality whatsoever. This false bubble of financial prosperity has been enjoyable, and even I wish that it could last much longer. But there comes a time when we all must face reality, and the cold, hard facts are telling us that this party is about to end. The following are 7 signs that a stock market peak is happening right now…”

Snow-Plum_Isl-MassCold comfort: Despite deep blankets of snow across much of US experts say this winter was the 19th warmest since records began – and for five states it was the warmest EVER winter(right) – by Lydia Willgress, Dailymail.co.uk – “They weren’t affected by below-average February temperatures due to a mild first half of winter, experts said… The average temperature across the US for winter was 34.3 degrees – more than two degrees higher than normal, Market Watch reported… And the total precipitation was just 6.12 inches – nearly one inch below average… The comments come after weeks of heavy snowfall and traffic chaos – dubbed the ‘Siberian Express’ – hit the country.”

The BBC’s Climate Change Coverage Is Not Just Dishonest but Illegal – by James Delingpole, Breitbart.com – “‘What he failed to tell us was that, as even the IPCC concedes, such events have not become more frequent or intense at all. There have been no more floods, droughts and hurricanes than there were before the global warming scare was invented.’.. If the programme was such palpable nonsense you might wonder why I am giving it such attention. But its palpably nonsensical quality is precisely the point… Here was a programme so lamentably biased, so completely uninterested in counterarguments, so blatantly determined to pull the wool over its viewers’ eyes with straw men, false analogies and calculated misrepresentations of the real points at issue, that it constituted a flagrant breach of the BBC’s statutory obligations to accuracy and impartiality… In short, this programme broke the law… Under the BBC Charter 2006, the BBC is legally obliged to ‘do all it can to ensure that controversial subjects are treated with due accuracy and impartiality in all relevant output.’.. Not only did the BBC fail to do this with Climate Change By Numbers but it has also failed to do this with every single documentary it has made on the subject for well over a decade.”

Traitorous But True – UN Framework Document For US Subjugation, US Military To Be Absorbed Into UN Peacekeepers, Disbanded – by Rick Well, RickWells.us – “The offending treasonous document was filed on September 1st, 1961, with the UN Secretary General during the Kennedy administration. It remains in effect today, on file, ready to be used when needed. It is State Department document number 7277, titled Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. It is worth noting that their plans are often laid out decades in advance in order for the process to appear as a seamless, ordinary occurrence, thereby gaining acceptance and creating less resistance… In the introduction the document states, ‘In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.’ ”

Ellen_Brown2The ECB’s Noose Around Greece: How Central Banks Harness Governments – by Ellen Brown, EllenBrown.com – “The noose around Greece’s neck is this: the ECB will not accept Greek bonds as collateral for the central bank liquidity all banks need, until the new Syriza government accepts the very stringent austerity program imposed by the troika (the EU Commission, ECB and IMF). That means selling off public assets (including ports, airports, electric and petroleum companies), slashing salaries and pensions, drastically increasing taxes and dismantling social services, while creating special funds to save the banking system… These are the mafia-like extortion tactics by which entire economies are yoked into paying off debts to foreign banks – debts that must be paid with the labor, assets and patrimony of people who had nothing to do with incurring them.”

COVER-UP: US Navy sailors disappear as government, doctors bury truth about Fukushima radiation – by David Gutierrez, “That same day, the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was redirected to the coast of Japan to participate in relief work for tsunami survivors. When sailors from the ship later began to fall ill, Congress asked the Defense Department for a report on the issue. The Pentagon report concluded that the sailors had not been exposed to enough radiation or contaminated water to cause health effects… Yet in the four years since the disaster, at least 500 sailors have fallen ill, and 247 of them have joined the class-action suit. The 100-page legal complaint chronicles their symptoms: an airplane mechanic suffering from unexplained muscle wasting; a woman whose baby was born ill; a sailor told his health problems must be genetic, even though his identical twin is perfectly healthy; and case after case of cancer, internal bleeding, abscesses, thyroid dysfunction and birth defects.”

Chemtrail Crimes: Human Hybridization and Aerial Vaccinations – by ZenGardner.com – “Well, this is about as dark as it gets but it needs to be said. As we’ve known all along, chemtrails are a multi-faceted program. It’s the ultimate delivery system. By poisoning our air it affects every living thing, much like chemically or biologically altering a pond in order to affect all the fish. With this massive program in place, even though they won’t even admit its obvious existence, anything can be loaded onto these air tankers at any time and sprayed onto unsuspecting humanity… While the known metallic elements of nano sized aluminum and barium and a host of other toxic ingredients are accepted generally to be used for at least for massive weather modification programs, there are other even more nefarious elements that we’ve been ingesting over the years… Hold on, this isn’t going to be pleasant and may give you a sense of dread and helplessness, but the fact that we are aware of these programs and are each way more than just the composite of our biological make up is where our true empowerment will always remain. As I’ve said many times before, their matrix is collapsing in its many levels of control and deceit, but it won’t go down without very violent and even cataclysmic death throes that will affect all of us.”

4 Ways The White House Has Gone Full Doublespeak on Fast Track and the TPP – by Maira Sutton, ActivistPost.com – “The fact that the White House has resorted to distorting the truth about its trade policies is enough to demonstrate how little the administration values honesty and transparency in policy making, and how much the public stands to lose from these agreements negotiated in secret. The more they try and espouse the potential gains from Fast Track—while the trade agreements this legislation would advance remain secret—the more reason we ought to be skeptical. If the TPP is so great and if Fast Track would in fact enable more democratic oversight, why are the contents of either of them still not public?”

Jewish leaders condemn British university debate on Israel and international law – from RT.com – “The University of Southampton has hit back at appeals to revoke its sponsorship of a conference questioning the legality of Israel’s right to exist under international law… The three-day conference, titled “International Law and the State of Israel: Legitimacy, Responsibility and Exceptionalism” is scheduled to take place April 17-19… According to the organizers, it will ‘explore the relatedness of the suffering and injustice in Palestine to the foundation and protection of a state of such nature and asks what role International Law should play in the situation.’.. ‘It is unique because it concerns the legitimacy in International Law of the Jewish state of Israel.’.. Conservative MP Mark Hoban, a prominent supporter of the state of Israel, has called on the university vice-chancellor to withdraw sponsorship, branding the conference “provocative.”.. Critics say the event may ‘well affect the attractiveness of the School of Law for future UK and international students.’ ” – Da Boss wants you should cancel da conference.

Vaccine propaganda BACKFIRE: Overhyping disease “outbreaks” lowers vaccine compliance – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “In 2006 and 2007, the media and politicians debated mandatory HPV vaccinations for young girls. Rick Perry, governor of Texas, even tried to mandate the HPV vaccine in the state, creating a media firestorm. The more the media focused on conflict and controversy, the more no one seemed to care. Support for HPV vaccine fell drastically… Recent controversy over measles vaccination brings to mind these controversies and only makes the general population more wary than ever. The Washington Post reveals, ‘In our study, we found that politicized media coverage was associated with lower support for requiring the HPV vaccine.’ ”

How the Public Are Deceived by the ‘News’ – by Eric Zuesse, WashingtonsBlog.com – “News-sites like this one are therefore the only hope for restoring democracy, where democracy formerly had existed. And maybe we’re not yet too late to prevent a nuclear war… Each reader can check a news-site’s honesty, by googling its name and the word “Ukraine” and seeing whether the realities that I have linked to here are reflected there. If the answer is no, then I would not call it a news-site, but merely a propaganda-site — because these realities are precisely that: they are real. And they are important… That’s the best way I know of, to test the honesty of any given national-news site.”

Lehman Moment For Austrian “Bad Bank” Means Worse Coming – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “Not “contained.” Just six short months ago, the 2Y bonds of Austria’s bank bank – HETA Asset Resolution AG – were trading well above par as the world and his mom reached for yield (~6%) in all the wrong places. Today, following the “spectacular development” over the weekend that the bank will be wound down due to the discovery of an $8.5bn “hole” in its balance sheet, the 2Y HETA bonds are trading below 50c on the dollar (at a yield of 54%). This is indeed Austria’s “Lehman” moment as for the first time in the new European ‘bail-in’ era, senior debt is getting a massive haircutAs we noted yesterday, the punchline, is that while the world was waiting for Greece to announce capital controls, or a bail-in over the past week, it was none other than one of the Europe’s most pristeen credits (one which until recently was rated AAA/Aaa) that informed creditors a bail-in is imminent: “The finance ministry noted that creditors can be forced to contribute to the costs of winding down Heta – or “bailed in” – under new European legislation that Austria adopted this year so that taxpayers do not have to shoulder the entire burden.“.. Bloomberg confirms that the ministry announced that under new EU rules means creditors can be forced to share losses… Of course, this being Austria, and the Creditanstalt, aka the bank which failed in 1931 under almost identical circumstances and set off the dominos that led to a global financial crisis which in turn bank fanned the flames of the Great Depression, also being Austrian, suddenly everyone is asking: “what just happened and what happens next? (some emphasis added) – “It appears HETA (is giving) markets a glimpse behind the curtain as the lies of the recovery come out.”

Homan Square Black Site Allegation: Cops Used Heroin to Force Confessions – by Jay Syrmopoulos, TheDailySheeple.com – “He was placed in an interview room inside of Homan Square where there was red stuff on the floor that he believes was blood. The police began asking him questions about narcotics deals. Jose couldn’t answer the questions not just because he wasn’t really involved in drugs, but because the Jose Gonzales the cops were looking for was born in the 1960s. Jose is currently 27. The police weren’t happy with Jose’s constant denials and statements that he didn’t know anything. He repeatedly requested a lawyer, but he was never allowed one. That’s when they told the handcuffed and shackled Jose that they were going to inject him with heroin to make him talk.”

Syrian_ModerateMore Alleged Moderates Join ISIS/Al-Qaeda – Bring TOW Missiles With Them – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “Thus, with the recent disbanding of Harakat Hazm and the blending with al-Qaeda/ISIS forces, al-Qaeda/ISIS forces are now the beneficiaries of fresh new batches of relatively sophisticated weaponry and TOW anti-tank missiles… It is thus very likely that Harakat Hazm has only ever existed for the purposes of plausible deniability on the part of NATO and the United States as they continue to arm, direct, and facilitate cannibals and caliphs running rampant across Syria and Iraq.”

Media Blackout on US ‘Smart Grid Deployment’ – by James F. Tracy, MemoryHoleBlog.com – “In December 2007 both houses of the US Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed into law the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA)… This 310-page piece of legislation employs the dubious science of anthropogenic CO2-based climate change science to mandate an array of policies, such as fuel efficiency standards for vehicles and “green” energy initiatives. Tucked away in the final pages of this law is the description and de facto mandate for national implementation of the Smart Grid that the Bush administration promised would result in ‘some of the largest CO2 emission cuts in our nation’s history.’.. The bill unambiguously lays out the design and intent behind the Smart Grid, including surveillance, tiered energy pricing, and energy rationing for all US households and businesses through round-the-clock monitoring of RFID-chipped “Energy Star” appliances. Congress and “other stakeholders” (presumably for-profit utilities and an array of Smart Grid technology patent holders whose lobbyists co-wrote the legislation) describe the Smart Grid’s characteristics and goals via ten provisions.”

Sedki_al-MaketIsrael Secretly Arrests Golani Druze, Accusing Him of Exposing Rebel-IDF Collaboration – by Richard Silverstein, RichardSilverstein.com – “Though Israeli security services haven’t offered any reason for his arrest, it’s likely they’re angered because a week ago he followed Syrian rebels to a meeting inside Israeli-occupied territory. The rebels met with IDF forces who’ve previously been shown to receive logistical and intelligence support from Israel in previous reports here and in Israel and foreign media. Al Maket filmed a video while the meeting was underway, in which he described what he saw and offered it to Syrian TV. It was aired to the entire nation and likely monitored by Israeli security.”
Farmers To Face Fines Or Prison Sentences For Selling Food Directly To Customers – by David Gumpert, JBBardot.com – “These consumers are clearly interpreting “safety” differently than the regulators. Some of these consumers are going further than claiming contract rights—they are pushing their towns and cities to legitimize private farmer-consumer arrangements… In Maine, residents of ten coastal towns have approved so-called “food sovereignty” ordinances that legalize unregulated food sales; towns in other states, including Massachusetts and Vermont, and as far away as Santa Cruz, CA, have passed similar ordinances… The new legal offensive isn’t going over well with regulators anywhere. Aside from the Hershberger action in Wisconsin, and a similar one in Minnesota, Maine’s Department of Agriculture filed suit against a two-cow farmer, Dan Brown, in one of the food-sovereignty towns, Blue Hill, seeking fines and, in effect, to invalidate all the Maine ordinances… In April, a state court ruled against the farmer, and in effect against the towns; sentencing is due within several weeks, and the case could well be appealed.”

Barry-n-BibiTop 10 Points from Netanyahu’s Speech to Congress Proving He’s Mad – by Stuart Hooper, 21stCenturyWire.com – “Number Three: “In 1979 Iran was hijacked by religious zealots.” – Interestingly, Netanyahu failed to mention Operation Ajax. This was a covert operation led by the American CIA and British MI6 to ‘hijack’ Iran from the rule of the democratically elected Mohammad Mossadegh, who had refused foreign companies access to Iran’s oil fields, and install the Shah; who promised to do the opposite. Calling the 1979 Iranian revolution a ‘hijacking’ is crazy; it wasn’t pretty, but it happened and the Anglo-Americans have been unable to exercise economic and political control over Iran ever since – and this is why Iran is constantly framed as an enemy to this day.”

alan_greenspan-handsUp-txtGreenspan says shattering of European Union will begin with imminent Greek implosion – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “In a recent interview with the BBC, former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan said he did not see a scenario in which the EU or its lending institutions, including its own central bank, would risk loaning the economically struggling nation more money, especially after its new far-left leadership came to power vowing to scrap current austerity measures called for in a previous loan package… Greek finance officials are seeking to renegotiate the country’s prior bailout loan, which amounts to more than $250 billion, but Greenspan said, ‘I don’t think it will be resolved without Greece leaving the eurozone.’.. Greenspan, head of the Fed from 1987 to 2006 — the Reagan, Clinton and George W. Bush years — added, ‘I believe [Greece] will eventually leave. I don’t think it helps them or the rest of the eurozone – it is just a matter of time before everyone recognizes that parting is the best strategy.’.. ‘The problem is that there is no way that I can conceive of the euro of continuing, unless and until all of the members of eurozone become politically integrated – actually even just fiscally integrated won’t do it,’ he added.”

Measles hysteria leads daycare directors to order parents to subject children to invasive blood draws – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “In fact, all this fear has caused a daycare center at the Santa Monica High School to shut down because a baby contracted a benign case of measles. The child is currently making progress and overcoming the disease like normal, but since then, 14 babies have been placed under quarantine for 21 days… Most shocking is that the directors of the daycare are requiring blood tests from all toddlers before the center reopens… All this fear is a win-win for the medical system, which is forcing people to be dependent on its products and services. The call for forced vaccinations is not enough. Now everyone must prove they aren’t sick by submitting to forced blood draws! What could be the next mandate in a culture that forces everyone to pay for medical system health insurance?”

security-scan-of-hand-thumbAmericans to Receive Full Biometric Treatment for all Forms of European Travel – by Amanda Warren, ActivistPost.com – “…EU Observer reports: US citizens and other non-EU nationals who enter Europe will be asked to have their faces image-captured and fingerprints scanned upon arrival at a half-dozen major airports… This “biometric dragnet” is the pilot test for the EU’s new “smart borders” packages. The test portion will run March – September 2015, for starters. The commission originally proposed this package in 2013 but pulled it and began revising. While there is some opposition, the experiment is shortly underway… The captures include fingerprint scans, iris scans and facial recognition scans for all forms of European travel – road, train, sea and air… Of course, what’s usual for such programs – travelers can refuse…for now… There is, of course, the assurance that all data will be depersonalised, kept local and destroyed afterward with only a limited retention period. (right) The only data “risk” in their consideration being that certain member states won’t comply with data protection guidelines.” (emph. added) darn, your data got out, sorry…

Texas Town Fires Entire Police Department, Crime Drops By 61% – Replaced all cops with private security – by Steve Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “According to the report, Sharpstown is saving $200,000 per year over their previous contract with the constable, and they now have more patrol officers for less money… Of course, a further incentive for employing private police is that there are less bureaucratic black holes to hide within, and there is more accountability. A claim against an officer means a claim against them personally and against the entire company, rather than against faceless government pen pushers… In addition, companies like SEAL operate as businesses, and as such are profit driven to provide the most efficient service. It is highly inefficient to police with brute force and to incur endless lawsuits. Taxpayer dollars would simply not be available to fund them… Thirdly, private security companies are less likely to be handed, and also less willing to receive, hordes of unwanted and outdated military equipment, as so many police departments around the country have in recent times.”

Village_of_al-ArakibIsrael destroys thousands of acres of crops in Palestine – from PressTV.ir – “Thousands of acres of wheat and other cereal crops have been destroyed by Israeli police in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Rakhama in Negev… …as many as 14 Israeli tractors escorted by in excess of 50 Israeli police vehicles destroyed the agricultural products and leveled the land early on Tuesday, Ma’an news agency reported… ‘This is vandalism through which they plan to displace the Bedouins from the Negev so as to create a Jewish state free of Arabs,’ (local resident Ali) Freijat added… He further noted that the Israeli regime forces have been trying to confiscate the land for many years… ‘However, my message to them is that if you turn over the land a million times, and if you demolish our homes a thousand times we will continue to live on this land and won’t allow anybody to take it from us,’ he added… Reports also said on Sunday that the Israeli regime plans to carry out more demolitions in an area populated by Palestinian Bedouins near al-Quds (Jerusalem)… Tel Aviv authorities say they want to build settlements and military structures in the area.”

Six years of flat interest rates has cost savers £130BILLION – Figure equates to £5,000 for every home in the UK – by Hugo Duncan, Dailymail.co.uk – “Laith Khalaf, a senior analyst at savings and investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, which produced the report, said: ‘It’s been a gruelling six years for savers in the UK who have seen the income from their cash obliterated. The future doesn’t look too much rosier either… ‘While interest rate rises may be on the cards next year, when they come they are likely to be small and slow.’.. Interest rates were 5 per cent in September 2008 – the month US investment banking giant Lehman Brothers collapsed… But they were cut aggressively as the global financial crisis deepened, before reaching an all-time low of 0.5 per cent on March 5, 2009.”

Ukraine_Soldiers-KramatorskKiev says OSCE to monitor ceasefire in east Ukraine – from PressTV.ir – “On Tuesday, the Ukrainian government announced that the leaders of Russia, Germany and France had agreed on Kiev’s suggestion ‘to send monitors to all locations of ceasefire violations.’.. A statement by the four leaders said the OSCE would start with monitoring 10 flashpoint areas, including the Donetsk airport area which has been under the control of pro-Russia forces since January… A spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said the leaders had ‘agreed that the OSCE should play a more important role in monitoring the ceasefire and the withdrawal of weapons.’ ”

Shock Report: White House Immigration Details Leaked: Obama Policies Will Create A “Country Within A Country” – by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan.com – “In reality what he did was sign a memorandum that created the Task Force on New Americans which is going to implement his amnesty mill for the 5 million illegals, which I believe is going to be more than that… and on these conference calls it became clear he was looking at 13 to 15 million to give protection and move them on to citizenship… To do that, what they said was that we need to start looking at the immigrant as a seedling and for the seedling to grow the seedling needs to be in fertile soil…” – And, to fund this mess?: “White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Monday that President Obama is “very interested” in the idea of raising taxes through unitlateral executive action… ‘The president certainly has not indicated any reticence in using his executive authority to try and advance an agenda that benefits middle class Americans,’ Earnest said in response to a question about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calling on Obama to raise more than $100 billion in taxes through IRS executive action… ‘Now I don’t want to leave you with the impression that there is some imminent announcement, there is not, at least that I know of,’ Earnest continued. ‘But the president has asked his team to examine the array of executive authorities that are available to him to try to make progress on his goals. So I am not in a position to talk in any detail at this point, but the president is very interested in this avenue generally,’ Earnest finished.” (emph. added)

Reaper-Death_from_AbroadIs Drone Warfare Fraying at the Edges? – by Pratap Chatterjee, TomDispatch.com – “One thing is clear: the pilots are not just killing “bad guys” and they know it because, as Black points out, they see everything that happens before, during, and after a drone strike… Indeed, the only detailed transcript of an actual Air Force drone surveillance mission and targeted killing to be publicly released illustrates this all too well. The logs recorded idle chatter on February 21, 2010, between drone operators at Creech Air Force base in Nevada coordinating with video analysts at Air Force special operations headquarters in Okaloosa, Florida, and with Air Force pilots in a rural part of Daikondi province in central Afghanistan. On that day, three vehicles were seen traveling in a pre-dawn convoy carrying about a dozen people each. Laboring under the mistaken belief that the group were “insurgents” out to kill some nearby U.S. soldiers on a mission, the drone team decided to attack.”

No Big BangNo Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning – by Lisa Zyga, Phys.org – “The physicists emphasize that their quantum correction terms are not applied ad hoc in an attempt to specifically eliminate the Big Bang singularity. Their work is based on ideas by the theoretical physicist David Bohm, who is also known for his contributions to the philosophy of physics. Starting in the 1950s, Bohm explored replacing classical geodesics (the shortest path between two points on a curved surface) with quantum trajectories… In their paper, Ali and Das applied these Bohmian trajectories to an equation developed in the 1950s by physicist Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri… In addition to not predicting a Big Bang singularity, the new model does not predict a “big crunch” singularity, either. In general relativity, one possible fate of the universe is that it starts to shrink until it collapses in on itself in a big crunch and becomes an infinitely dense point once again.”

Over 500 Pakistani parents arrested for children’s failure to get polio vaccine – by Sophia Saifi and Greg Botelho, edition.CNN.com – “Those arrested will be released on bail if they sign an affidavit stating that they will let their children get vaccinated, according to the deputy commissioner… Pakistan’s vaccination rate is inordinately low for a number of reasons, including attacks on medical workers, the displacement of people due to ongoing military operations and a lack of trust by some families… In 2014, Pakistan had 327 cases. The next closest country was Nigeria, with 36 cases… Dr. Bilal Ahmad, a UNICEF team leader based in Pakistan, called authorities’ unprecedented move a last-ditch effort to clear polio from “cluster” zones where large numbers of families have refused to get their children vaccinated… ‘First the workers (try to) convince them, then their supervisors, then senior members of the community,’ Ahmad said. ‘(This government action) is the final step in eradicating this issue.’.. Polio is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects young children, sometimes leading to paralysis and death. The virus is easily preventable through immunization, but there’s no cure once it is contracted. (Note: this is not true – A paper was given to the AMA in the 1960’s documenting the cure of 100% of patients within 72 hours with IV vitamin C drip therapy – the AMA refused to allow the paper to be presented)… It went from being a health issue to a security issue after U.S. intelligence officials used a vaccination program to help in their hunt for Osama bin Laden in 2011. Under cover of the program, the CIA sought to collect DNA samples from relatives of the al Qaeda leader to verify his presence in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan…

Obama-National_Law_PlanObama Unveils National ObamaLaw Plan – by Neil Munro, DailyCaller.com – “President Barack Obama today introduced his plan for a progressive takeover of state and local policing… ‘We have a great opportunity (remember, never let one go to waste!)… to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations,’ he said Monday… ‘We need to seize that opportunity… this is something that I’m going to stay very focused on in the months to come,’ Obama said, as he touted a new interim report from his Task Force on 21st Century Policing… Obama also instructed his media allies to help federalize policing, and to sideline the critics of centralized policing rules. “I expect our friends in the media to really focus on what’s in this report and pay attention to it,” he instructed.” (emph. added)

dees forced vaccinesPro-Vaccine Propaganda Setting Stage For Ugly End-Game Scenario – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “With every day we are seeing the big government challenge basic human values, ethics, common sense, logic and reason. Because of their desperate overreach, this overall scenario may contain a silver lining in terms of human awakening. However, looking at the recent pro-vaccine hysteria, the more frightening reality staring us in the face may be this – the vaccine propaganda is spinning off in its own bizarre direction and is now quietly cementing itself as one of the most powerful tools to be potentially used to implement tyranny and depopulation consistent with the globalist plans for a new world order outlined in the Georgia Guidestones.”

Megyn_Kelley-1Fox News host calls for ‘Big Brother’ to enforce vaccination schedules – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “From HuffPo: Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly agree: Parents should vaccinate their children….During a discussion on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night, Kelly and O’Reilly tackled the controversial issue, focusing in on politicians, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who have recently suggested that parents should have “some measure of choice” when it comes to vaccinating their children… The conversation turned personal, however, when O’Reilly bluntly asked Kelly if she opposed mandatory vaccinations for children… ‘No,’ Kelly responded. ‘And I want to say, on the record, I have three children under the age of six. I’ve vaccinated all of them, on time, as the doctor prescribed.’ ”

Vaccine propaganda BACKFIRE: Overhyping disease “outbreaks” lowers vaccine compliance – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “As the national media politicized a measles outbreak in California and called for mandatory vaccinations, the general population grew even more wary of vaccines and medical professionals. As the measles outbreak was politicized, with lawmakers chiming in, the general population turned away from the controversy. The overhyped measles outbreak and all the vaccine propaganda that followed actually lowered vaccine compliance throughout the US. This is according to a study published in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science… This turning-away effect was also witnessed in 2009, when the mainstream media ran a media blitz pushing women to undergo mammography screenings. The more breast cancer fears were pushed and the more the media tried to sell mammography, the more the public backed away.”

Fuck-Off-GoogleSurveillance Valley: Why Google Is Eager to Align Itself With America’s Military Industrial Complex – Is it wise for us to hand over the contents of our private lives to private companies? – by Yasha Levine, Alternet.org – “Residents’ anger at the fusion surveillance center was intensified by a set of internal documents showing that city officials were more interested in using the surveillance center monitor political protests rather than fighting crime: keeping tabs on activists, monitoring non-violent political protests and tracking union organizing that might shut down the Port of Oakland. It was an incendiary find — especially in Oakland, a city with a large marginalized black population, a strong union presence and a long, ugly history of police brutality aimed at minority groups and political activists.”

FBI’s ‘Smoking Gun’ Video of Boston Marathon Bombing Doesn’t Exist – by Lara Turner, WhoWhatWhy.org – “What do former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, an appeals court justice, several potential members of the Boston Marathon bombing jury and thousands of regular Americans have in common?.. They all believe that they’ve seen a video of accused bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropping a deadly backpack behind victims at the marathon on April 15, 2013—a video his defense said “does NOT actually exist.”.. In a pre-trial hearing yesterday, Tsarnaev defense attorney David Bruck argued that the April 18, 2013, press conference in which former Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers identified the brothers should be excluded from evidence. That, he argued, is because the FBI agent described the video footage that doesn’t really exist, which subsequently was used to convict Tsarnaev in the media.”

Bibi-GoNearly 50,000 Peace Protesters In Israel Demand the End of Netanyahu’s Reign – from CounterCurrentNews.com – “The Rabin Square rally came as the Jewish Shabbat day of rest ended, ushering in a new week, and according to protesters, ‘hopefully a new era too.’.. The rally was not specific to one political party, but all in attendance who turned out to support the cause were centrists and leftists, with most right wing parties in Israel being extremely nationalistic and pro-war… The rally’s keynote speaker was what could have been considered a member of the right at one time. Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan recently pulled Netanyahu’s card and said he is ‘the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel.’.. His speech in Israel tonight called out the Prime Minister for repeatedly lying and frightening people into voting for him time and time again.”

Supreme Court Rules that Cops DO NOT Need a Warrant to Search Your Home – by Matt Agorist, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “The majority, led by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., said police need not take the time to get a magistrate’s approval before entering a home in such cases. But dissenters, led by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, warned that the decision would erode protections against warrantless home searches. The court had previously held that such protections were at the “very core” of the 4th Amendment and its ban on unreasonable searches and seizures, reports the LA Times… According to the AP, Justice Samuel Alito wrote the court’s 6-3 decision holding that an occupant may not object to a search when he is not at home… ‘We therefore hold that an occupant who is absent due to a lawful detention or arrest stands in the same shoes as an occupant who is absent for any other reason,’ Alito said… In other words, you have no property rights slave, and we can snoop through your personal belongings if we wish.” (emph. added)

In a statement issued to The Intercept and the Sunday-Star Times, the agency’s acting director, Una Jagose, said: ‘We do not comment on operational matters. Everything we do is authorized under legislation and subject to independent oversight.’.. NSA spokeswoman Vanee’ Vines said in a statement that the agency would not comment ‘on specific, alleged foreign intelligence activities.’ Vines added: ‘The National Security Agency works with foreign partners to address a wide array of serious threats, including terrorist plots, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and foreign aggression. NSA’s activities with foreign partners comply with U.S. laws and the applicable laws under which our partners operate.’ ”

VaroufakisA Soros «Trojan Horse» inside the New Greek Government? – by Wayne Madsen, Strategic-Culture.org – “Varoufakis’s curriculum vitae, like that of Jaresko’s, reeks of George Soros-intertwined globalist links. For a finance minister who is to — if we believe the dire warnings from the corporate press — challenge the austerity measures dictated to Greece’s previous failed conservative and social democratic governments by the «Troika» of the IMF, ECB, and European Commission, Varoufakis has had a past close relationship with the global entities with which he is expected to battle.”

What Ordinary Greeks Think Of Friday’s Deal: “We Went Through Two Months Of Agony To Realize We Are Still A Debt Colony” – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “… when it comes to Friday’s deal it all boils down to two things: promises, now broken: February 15, 2015: ‘(Greece) will not continue with a program which has the characteristics of the programs of previous governments’ – Gabriel Sakellaridis… February 16, 2015: ‘The “extend and pretend” game that began after Greece’s public debt became unserviceable in 2010 will end.’ – Yanis Varoufakis… and February 20, 2015: ‘Greek finance minister says bailout extension is a great success’… But far more importantly, the real question is what the people on the ground think.” (emph. added)

Port-au-Prince-DemoHaiti: Mainstream Media Reduces Protests Against Dictatorship and Occupation to Mere Protest About Gas Prices – By Ezili Dantò, GlobalResearch.ca – “At the same time, they’re ignoring the popular movement’s refusal to accept any agreement cooked-up by the illegitimate Michel Martelly and his Washington handlers (“Core Group”) to unconstitutionally rule by decree with the complicity of US-bought, so-called political parties who do not represent Haiti masses but foreign interests… The media is reporting that Martelly reached in agreement to form a new government to hold elections. They fail to report with context or to emphasize that all who deal with Martelly are rejected by the masses on the streets. The true representatives of Haiti are the voices that speak for the masses and for local Haiti interests, not the US-bought so-called political parties with no constituency, sell-out ex-Parliamentarians or Washington’s greedy Haiti opportunists.”

Is Your Child a Terrorist? U.S. Government Questionnaire Rates Families at Risk for Extremism – by Murtaza Hussain, Cora Currier, and Jana Winter, FirstLook.org – ” ‘The idea that the federal government would encourage local police, teachers, medical and social service employees to rate the communities, individuals and families they serve for their potential to become terrorists is abhorrent on its face,” said Mike German, a former FBI agent who is now with the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. German called the criteria used for the ratings ‘subjective and specious.’ ”

Judge_NapolitanoObama power grab triggers 1st Amendment nightmare – by Greg Corombos, WND.com – ” ‘People don’t know the danger that is coming,’ Napolitano said. ‘The danger that is coming is a gaggle of bureaucrats here – three Democrats and two Republicans, the Republicans will probably dissent – claiming they have the power to regulate the Internet.’.. He said Congress has passed no statute authorizing new government controls on the Internet, and the First Amendment clearly states that neither Congress nor any government agency it created can make a law restricting the freedom of speech… ‘This proposal by the president (these are the president’s appointees on the FCC) actually has the support of the leadership of both political parties, big-government Republicans and big-government Democrats,’ he said. ‘But some of them will have great pause for reconsideration if there is a great national debate on this.’.. He said fierce debate is exactly what the Democrat majority of commissioners is trying to avoid through its secretive tactics… ‘That’s the reason why the three Democrats on the FCC want to force it through,’ he said, ‘so there will be no great national debate, because a great national debate will result in the undoing of this.’ ”

Big Pharma ‘Repatenting’ Raises Prices of Top Drugs By More than 6 Times – Without any actual advancements of any kind – by Anthony Gucciardi, NaturalSociety.com – “The art of repatenting is one that massive corporations absolutely love. When the drug companies own the patent rights to a formula, even if it is virtually the same as a generic one or has been sold for far less over the last several decades, they can charge you (and your insurance company) whatever they want. And in the case of the highly popular asthma drug albuterol, even the New York Times has reported on the absurd price increase following its ‘repatenting.’.. And as these pharmaceutical juggernauts raise prices across the board just because ‘they can,’ they are sure not to tell you about the countless natural substances that have been found time and time again to be extremely beneficial in the fight against disease.”

South Carolina Inmate Receives 37 Years In Solitary Confinement For Updating Facebook – by Kira Lerner, ThinkProgress.org – “Each time an inmate accesses Facebook is counted as a separate Level 1 violation, which leads to excessive punishments like inmates being put in isolation for years at a time, the report said… ‘If a South Carolina inmate caused a riot, took three hostages, murdered them, stole their clothes, and then escaped, he could still wind up with fewer Level 1 offenses than an inmate who updated Facebook every day for two weeks,’ the EFF said in its report… By classifying social media violations as Level 1, the SCDC is sending so many inmates to solitary confinement that prisons in the state have often run out of space in their confinement facilities, according to the report.”

Camping-If_not-here-whereGuess Which “Liberal” State Has 500 Laws Aimed at Oppressing the Homeless? – On the heels of a damning new report, the Right to Rest campaign pushes for statewide legislation to stop discrimination against homeless people – by Alyssa Figueroa, Alternet.org – “New research prepared for WRAP (Western Regional Advocacy Project) by the Policy Advocacy Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law details the impact criminalization has had on the homeless population in California, home to one in every five homeless people in the U.S. Researchers looked at a sample of 58 California cities and found 500 anti-homeless laws on the books—an average of nine laws per city. Each city has at least one code restricting daytime activities like resting, standing and sitting; 57 had codes restricting nighttime activities like sleeping, camping and lodging; 53 had codes restricting begging and panhandling; 12 had codes restricting food sharing. Some of these laws either overlap or criminalize the same action but in different locations.” (emph. added)

Rolling blackouts have begun in Brazil as mega-drought arrives; residents told to prepare for the worst – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “One of Brazil’s major industries, agriculture, has also suffered mightily. The Guardian noted that production of arabica coffee beans, which Brazil supplies in greater amounts than any other nation, fell by 15 percent last year, which caused prices for the commodity to rise by nearly 50 percent… And growers in Minas Gerais said total rainfall in 2014 was about 35 inches, or just half of its normal level. Since coffee has a two-year growing cycle, industry experts and growers note that impacts in output and prices will be felt into next year as well, even if rains return in 2015… In addition to coffee production, sugar production has fallen as well, as has ethanol, which is made from sugar in Brazil. Earlier in January, Raizen — Brazil’s largest sugar and ethanol producer — said it would have to lay off 250 workers and stop all production at its Bom Retiro mill for two years because of shortages of sugar cane, due to the drought.” – Can you say “Geoenginering?”…

ISIS-On_2_The_StageUnlimited War! ISIS Psyop Theater Comes to Full Fruition – by Bernie Suarez, ActivistPost.com – “ISIS Superpowers Transcend Reality: As I mentioned in my recent article about the deliberate mainstream media branding of ISIS, most people are not aware of the magnitude of the ISIS brand and how they have been portrayed as greater than god. ISIS is a meaningless group of ($300 a month salaried I’m told) Middle Eastern stray men with both Jesus Christ and Superman-like powers, combined into one. According to Western corporate media, ISIS has greater intelligence than all of their enemies combined. They are a super-human force able to outsmart all military intelligence at once, avoid all global surveillance and NSA illegal data-mining at once. All the while fighting multiple countries on multiple fronts, and WINNING!”

Paul_KrugmanPaul Krugman: How Austerity Madness Was Dealt a Crucial Blow this Week – “The Greek government didn’t succumb to the bum’s rush, and that in itself is a kind of victory.” – by Janet Allon, Alternet.org – “Still, nothing that just happened justifies the pervasive rhetoric of failure. Actually, my sense is that we’re seeing an unholy alliance here between left-leaning writers with unrealistic expectations and the business press, which likes the story of Greek debacle because that’s what is supposed to happen to uppity debtors. But there was no debacle. Provisionally, at least, Greece seems to have ended the cycle of ever-more-savage austerity.”

How many people have died from chemotherapy, not cancer? – by S. D. Wells, NaturalNews.com – “You can overdose from chemotherapy, but the results of the tests won’t show it. Every cell in your body will be SCREAMING IT, but the crooked, Western Medicine regime that controls the cancer industry will never allow it to hit the “peer-reviewed” medical journals, that are all as biased as the day they were “born.” Yes, we’ve all read JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and we’ve seen the ads in the back for cigarettes and pharmaceutical manufacturers that pay top dollar for that AMA ‘seal of approval.’ ”

Boris_NemtsovRussia: US-Backed Opposition Leader Gunned Down in Moscow – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Nemtsov, A Convenient Martyr… Too Convenient: The provocative murder in the center of Moscow, in close proximity to the Kremlin itself, would lead the more gullible members of the general public to imagine President Putin himself leaning back in his office chair with a rifle sticking out the window of the Kremlin, and gunning down his rival – in true super villain form… Already, before any investigation has been conducted, Western news sources are attempting to imply the Kremlin was behind his murder – hoping the general public believes Russia’s leadership would be careless and thoughtless enough to commit such a provocative act just two days ahead of protests.”

Manipulations & Mind Games: The Secret Battle to Control How We Think – by Kingsley Dennis, WakingTimes.com – “Examples of these psychological manipulations include the deliberate use of specific cultural symbols and embedded signifiers that catalyse conditioned reflexes in the populace. These triggers have included ‘Red’ and ‘Communist’ during the US’s 1950s McCarthyism; or ‘Muslim Terrorist’ during the recent media-hyped ‘War on Terror’. Targeted reactions can thus be achieved making the populace open to further manipulation in this state. This is a process of psychic re-formation that works repeatedly to soften up the people through continued and extensive exposure to particular stimuli. These are often the subconscious symbols we live by – artificial signifiers in order to create a compliant society… Today’s media, which includes the dominant presence of advertising, extensively uses the notion of ‘attractors’ and ‘attractor patterns’ to target audience consciousness. This type of symbol-manipulation is often referred to in the business as neuro-marketing.”

CSI-New_York_City-1870The True History of the Origins of Police: Protecting and Serving the Masters of Society – The liberal way of viewing the problem rests on a misunderstanding of the origins of the police – by Sam Mitrani, Alternet.org – “Before the 19th century, there were no police forces that we would recognize as such anywhere in the world. In the northern United States, there was a system of elected constables and sheriffs, much more responsible to the population in a very direct way than the police are today. In the South, the closest thing to a police force was the slave patrols. Then, as Northern cities grew and filled with mostly immigrant wage workers who were physically and socially separated from the ruling class, the wealthy elite who ran the various municipal governments hired hundreds and then thousands of armed men to impose order on the new working-class neighborhoods.

Record Cold And Snow Destroy Global Warming Claims – by James Taylor, Forbes.com – “Another global warming activist tactic is to argue that global warming actually causes more snow. Of course, this is exactly the opposite of what they used to claim, as shown in the IPCC prediction. Moreover, real-world scientific data prove their new claims false. Global warming activists argue that warmer air can hold more moisture, so winter snow storms that used to bring 12 inches of snow now bring 14 inches of snow. The problem with this new assertion is – as documented above – winter temperatures are substantially colder now than they used to be. Global warming activists cannot claim recent record snowfalls are caused by warmer winters when winters are in fact much colder than they used to be.” – Note: of course, this Forbes article does not mention the documented use of artificial ice nucleation to create much of the snowfall that comes with the “Siberian Express” winters visited upon the Eastern U.S. – There is also no mention of the documented Geoengineering enterprise causing the ongoing drought in the West – Please see the videos produced by The HAARP Report YouTube Channel.

Dane_WigingtonThe Programming Of Society To Reject Those Who Question – by Dane Wigington, GeoengineeringWatch.org – “The Magna Carta, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and other founding Western documents were based on conspiracy theories. Greek democracy and free market capitalism were also based on conspiracy theories… But those were the bad old days — Things have now changed…. The CIA Coined the Term Conspiracy Theorist In 1967… That all changed in the 1960s… Specifically, in April 1967, the CIA wrote a dispatch which coined the term “conspiracy theories” … and recommended methods for discrediting such theories. The dispatch was marked “psych” – short for “psychological operations” or disinformation – and “CS” for the CIA’s “Clandestine Services” unit… The dispatch was produced in responses to a Freedom of Information Act request by the New York Times in 1976… The dispatch states…” (emph. added)

Vaccine Induced Immune Overload and the Epidemic of Chronic Autoimmune Childhood Disease – by Dr. Gary G. Kohls, GlobalResearch.ca – “The list of autoimmune disorders considered in this article includes such increasingly common chronic illnesses as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver (= NASH = nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), autism spectrum disorders, asthma, food allergies, a variety of organ-specific autoimmune disorders (such as thyroiditis, vasculitis and autoimmune rheumatic diseases like SLE (lupus), rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and sarcoid), and metabolic syndrome (= obesity, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia)… J. Barthelow Classen, MD: “since 1999 the routine pediatric immunization schedule has increased by 80 vaccines” (that number counts each strain of antigenic virus or bacteria that have been included in the new inoculants). Classen believes that “the sum of the data described and reviewed in this paper supports a causal relationship”. From the perspective of the tens of thousands of parents (since the “age of autism” began just just a few decades ago) who know for certain that their previously happy, developmentally normal infants were sickened shortly after routine vaccinations, Dr Classen’s powerful scientific research cannot be discounted, even with the expected media blitz that is expected from Big Pharma, the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AAFP, the CDC, the WHO and the various trade organizations that profit so mightily from the vaccine industry.”

Venezuela Foils Obama’s Coup Plot – by Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca – “Scheduled on the anniversary of the start of last year’s US-orchestrated street violence. Plans included: • killing people during marches and demonstrations; • Using a Tucano jet aircraft to bomb strategic targets, including: • the Miraflores (presidential palace); • military intelligence headquarters; • defense and justice ministries; • Caracas municipality building; • public prosecutor’s office; • TeleSUR building; • National Electoral Council (CNE); and • central Caracas’ Metro station Zona Rental;… Installing “transitional” governance would follow. Opposition legislator Julio Borges was accused of choosing locations to be attacked.”

In the eye of a mega-drought: Researchers warn US should prepare for ‘unprecedented drought conditions’ unlike anything in past 1,000 years – by Tim Walker, TheIndependent.co.uk – “In the paper, published by the journal Science Advances, researchers from Nasa and Columbia and Cornell universities warn that a vast swathe of the US, including the south-west states and the central plains, should prepare for “unprecedented drought conditions” unlike anything in the past 1,000 years… Within 35 years, the region’s millennia-long natural cycle of droughts and occasional rainfall is likely to bring an end to the relative dampness of the last century. The effects of that drying, the scientists warn, would be exacerbated by man-made climate change… ‘Nearly every year is going to be dry toward the end of the 21st century, compared with what we think of as normal conditions now,’ said Ben Cook from Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the lead author of the study. ‘We’re going to have to think about a much drier future in western North America.’ ” (emph. added)Hmmm, wonder how they know?…

What’s Really Behind the Current Measles Outbreak? – by Dr. Tedd Koren, ActivistPost.com – “A mother brings her healthy child to the pediatrician for a measles shot. An hysterical mother calls soon afterwards saying something is wrong. Perhaps the child had a seizure shortly after the visit or spiked a high fever, slept for an entire day, stopped speaking, forgot his letters, no longer makes eye contact, is spinning in circles, is screaming and is no longer the child he was a few days ago. Sometimes the child dies (referred to as SIDS or crib death)… Such events are reported repeatedly by mothers around the world after various vaccinations… In fact since 1987 the federal gov’t has paid over $3 billion to families whose child has died or been maimed for life after such an experience… “It’s just a coincidence,” the pediatrician says.” – Amazing and comprehensive article – MUST READ

Among the report’s list of sponsors is the “US intelligence community”, which includes Nasa, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the US Department of Energy… The professor alleges that the CIA told a colleague of his that it wanted to fund the report, but claimed that it did not want this fact to be too obvious – he added that the CIA is “a major funder” of the report which ‘makes me really worried about who is going to be in control’.”

Expect short-term letup (not cessation) once ceasefire terms take effect on Sunday… Followed days or weeks later by escalated fighting initiated by Kiev forces on orders from Washington. Wrongfully blamed on Russia and rebels… The same Big Lie blame game continues since Kiev launched naked aggression last April… A Friday US-initiated G7 statement sounded an ominous tone. Saying ‘Russian-backed separatist militias are operating beyond the line of contact agreed upon in the Minsk agreements of September 2014, causing numerous civilian casualties.’.. Ignoring Kiev forces shelling Donetsk and Lugansk hospitals, schools, residential areas and city streets. Deliberately killing civilian men, women and children… G7 leaders threatened more sanctions on Russia. Expressed support for Kiev’s illegitimate putschist regime.

Greece Rejects Bailout Deal – Deadline To Avoid Financial Chaos In Europe Is March 1st – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “But these new Greek politicians are a different breed. They are not establishment lackeys. Rather, they are very principled radicals, and they are not about to be pushed around. I certainly do not agree with their politics, but I admire the fact that they are willing to stand up for what they believe. That is a very rare thing these days… On Monday, Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis shared the following in the New York Times: ‘I am often asked: What if the only way you can secure funding is to cross your red lines and accept measures that you consider to be part of the problem, rather than of its solution? Faithful to the principle that I have no right to bluff, my answer is: The lines that we have presented as red will not be crossed.’ “

TelebotAs Early as 2016, Robot Cops Will Be Patrolling Your Streets… No, Seriously – from The Free Thought Project via TheDailySheeple.com – “The militarization and robotization of police state USA is related to a Department of Defense (DoD) program starting in 1997 that transfers excess military equipment to police departments, to help them fight the immoral war on drugs. DoD has already given police more than $5.1 billion worth of military equipment… The Department of Homeland Security is part of the game too, giving grants to police departments for advanced tactical hardware to help fight those freedom-hating terrorists. Only, the government now treats its own citizens as terrorists. Peaceful protesters fill the lenses and microphones and crosshairs of robot police.”

UK’s Cameron Wants Unemployed Youth to Do Unpaid Work for the State – from ActivistPost.com – “Cameron also said in his speech that the youth wouldn’t be able to receive housing benefits unless they have a job. He gave no explanation as to why someone would need benefits if they had a real job… As ridiculous as Cameron’s slavery plan is, his opposition is selling the notion of guaranteeing government jobs for young people by raising taxes on the rich: ‘The opposition has pledged a compulsory jobs guarantee for the young unemployed, paid for by a tax on bankers’ bonuses.’ .. But by “compulsory,” they mean young people won’t have a choice not to work for the State if they can’t find private employment. It sounds just like Cameron’s plan of forced labor, but with a salary paid for by more stolen tax money.”

hpv_vaccine Freedom of Speech in Australia and the HPV Vaccine – by Judy Wilyman, ActivistPost.com – “In 2011 I asked the Australian public health authorities why sodium borate and polysorbate 80 are found in the HPV vaccine? These ingredients are known to cause infertility in laboratory animals…. The aluminium adjuvant found in HPV vaccines is also linked to causing neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases yet in December 2014 the FDA approved a new HPV vaccine that contains double the amount of aluminium adjuvant as the current HPV vaccine. The current HPV vaccines have been linked to thousands of serious adverse events and adolescents will now be receiving 1,500 mcg of aluminium adjuvant from 3 doses of the new HPV vaccine if it is approved in Australian school vaccination programs. This amount of aluminium has never been tested in long-term studies of children’s health.”

Maduro-coup_responseREVEALED: Both Britain and Canada Were Involved in Foiled Venezuelan Coup Plot – by Stephen Lendman & 21stCenturyWire.com – “US funded and supported key opposition fascist figures Antonio Ledezma, Maria Corina Machado and Leopoldo Lopez released a joint February 11 communique a day before the foiled coup… Titled, “A Call on Venezuelans for a National Accord for the Transition,” it promoted regime change, and called for Venezuela to be handed back to monied interests… Called Bolivarian fairness ‘anti-democra(tic)…inefficient and… corrupt.’ Run by ‘an unscrupulous elite (making) the State totalitarian.’ Creating ‘a humanitarian crisis.’.. ‘(T)he Maduro government has entered a terminal phase.’ Claimed it’s ‘the duty of every democrat to help resolve the current crisis, to defend freedom…to make the transition…(to restore) democratic order.’ “

Obama-ZuckerbergFacebook Owner Takes Public Stand against Vaccine Refusers – by Brian Shilhavy, HealthImpactNews.com – “So what’s next for Zuckerberg and Facebook? Since Zuckerberg is apparently taking the position that “the science on vaccines is settled,” will he also take the corresponding position that Americans do not have a right to refuse vaccines, for “the greater good?”.. Like technology billionaire and vaccine supporter Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg has enough money and influence to force people to adopt his position. His tax revenue alone provides billions to the U.S. Government and State of California, and he can give away up to half of his income by U.S. law to charitable organizations to avoid paying even more taxes… This “philanthropy” coming out of Silicon Valley is creating what some are calling a ‘Brave New Economic Order.’ “

Tesla-on-fireTesla: Bonfire Of The Money Printers’ Vanities – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “So go figure. Combining OCF and CapEx you get a balance sheet hemorrhage of nearly $2.4 billion. The real question, therefore, is not why Tesla was worth $35 billion, but why it wasn’t bankrupt long ago?.. The answer is that it was and should be now. Tesla would not have even made it to its Goldman-led IPO without a $500 million bailout by Uncle Sam. That the hard-pressed taxpayers of America were called upon to underwrite a vanity toy for the wealthy—–and one peddled by a serial milker of the public teat—is surely a measure of how deep crony capitalist corruption has penetrated into the business system of America.”

Ukrainegate: NATO weapons for truce – from OrientalReview.org – “Initially it seemed surprising that on the first day of the negotiations marathon in Minsk a bill to “provide lethal weapons to the Government of Ukraine in order to defend itself against Russian-backed rebel separatists in eastern Ukraine” would be introduced in the US Congress. However, it soon became clear that its sponsor, Sen. James Inhofe, simply harbors no illusions about his Ukrainian partners’ competence or ability to comply with their obligations. He understands that Kiev will inevitably violate the cease-fire and that Washington will soon have to explain why the militias in the devastated region of what is known as the “Debaltsevo cauldron” are in possession of such a vast number of captured weapons originating from NATO countries… So Senator Inhofe’s bill is not about rendering military assistance to the puppet government in Kiev, but is rather a way to legitimize the shipments that are already being sent. As usual, only the most aged, decrepit weapons are ending up in the region where the anti-terror operation is underway – meaning that Ukrainian officials are re-exporting everything that is worthy of resale to third countries, including Syria. No one can guarantee that the weapons that will pass to Ukraine legally will not soon be used against America’s interests in global hot spots. However, it seems that this threat is the last thing on the minds of US senators.” (emph. added)

Gen_David_HoggNATO Prepares for War with Russia in Europe – Russian General: We are at war – by Kurt Nimmo, Infowars.com – “Russian Gen. Leonid Ivashov: ‘Apparently the officials of the European Union and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have dedicated themselves, and continue to do so, to deeply and thoroughly studying the doctrine of Dr. Goebbels… They present everything backwards from reality. It is one of the formulas which Nazi propaganda employed most successfully… They accuse the party that is defending itself, of aggression. What we are seeing in Ukraine and in Syria is a western project, a new kind of war: in both places you see a clear anti-Russian approach, and as is well known, wars today begin with psychological and information warfare operations.’.. ‘I assume that the Foreign Ministry understands that we are at war,’ Ivashov said.”

The “Exceptional” U.S. Suffers Crushing Defeat in Debaltsevo – by Mike Whitney, CounterPunch.org – “The debacle ensures that the bumbling president’s days are numbered. It’s nearly certain that he will either be replaced or hanged sometime in weeks ahead. He has already flown his family to safety out of the country, and there’s growing speculation that both Washington and the far-right nationalists who occupy the Security Services will insist on his removal. That paves the way for a second Ukrainian coup in less than a year, a grim reminder of the tragic failings of US policy in Ukraine… Washington has largely won the information war, having persuaded Congress and the American people that US policy in Ukraine is “just”, but on the ground, where it counts, Washington has encountered one catastrophic failure after another. This process will undoubtedly persist until the costs are too exorbitant to bear.”

Robert_Ford2Former Ambassador Robert Ford Admits “Conspiracy Theorists” Were Right – Jihadists Are Majority Of Rebels – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost – ” Ford said part of the problem was that too many rebels – and their patrons in Turkey and Qatar – insisted that Nusra was a homegrown, anti-Assad force when in fact it was an al Qaida affiliate whose ideology was virtually indistinguishable from the Islamic State’s. The Obama administration already has suffered a string of embarrassments involving supplies it’s donated to the rebels ending up in the hands of U.S.-designated terrorist groups… ‘Nusra Front is just as dangerous, and yet they keep pretending they’re nice guys, they’re Syrians,’ Ford said. ‘The second problem is, some of our stuff has leaked to them.’ (Dang, I hate it when that happens…) Robert Ford served in Iraq at the same time that the death squads were beginning to make their bloody mark on the cohesion of the Iraqi “insurgency,” after being appointed political counselor to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Ford remained in this post from 2004-2006 where he worked closely with John Negroponte, a death squad expert in his own right who was also heavily involved in the organization of the death squads in Iraq. Ford was instrumental in helping make “contacts” with these individuals as well as developing and maintaining relations with them for other purposes such as continued and future terror campaigns.

No Charges for Cops Who Broke Into Innocent Man’s Home While He Slept and Shot Him 16 Times – by Matt Agorist, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “It is estimated that the two officers fired over 20 rounds of which 16 landed in Mr. Theoharis. According to Theoharis’s attorney, Erik Heipt, ‘Theoharis suffered ‘a broken shoulder, 2 broken arms, broken legs, he had a compression fracture to his spine, damage to his liver and spleen.’.. To add insult to attempted murder, Theoharis was not the guy the police were after. According to King 5 News Seattle, the King County Sheriff’s deputy and Washington Department of Corrections officer who shot him were at the house to arrest a man who’d violated his parole… Cole Harrison, who was at the house, described it this way: ‘They (the officers) rushed into that room like they were going to get somebody. I mean they rushed down there and then all of a sudden. Boom, boom, boom, boom.’ ”

Patricia_HoffmanMedia Blackout on the U.S. “Smart Grid Deployment”: Designs and Monied Interests Behind “Smart Meters” Installed across America – by Prof. James F. Tracy, GlobalResearch.ca – “In an era where news media wax rhapsodic over new technologies and fall over each other to report consumer-oriented “news you can use,” the Smart Grid’s pending debut should be a major story. It’s not. Indeed, almost the entire US population remains in the dark about this major technological development that will profoundly impact their lives… When one more closely examines the implications and realities of the federally-approved Smart Grid scheme—from the adverse health effects of electromagnetic radiation to surveillance and energy rationing—there should be little wonder why this degree of silence surrounds its implementation. Such a technocratic system would never be freely accepted if subject to an open exchange and referendum.”

‘Peak food’ production now a reality as corporate chemical agriculture continues to fall apart – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “Corporate agriculture is reaching its peak, not agriculture in general… The truth, though, is that corporate systems of chemical agriculture, which are centered around the large-scale growing of individual commodity crops, are what has reached a peak. These unsustainable growing methods not only damage soils but also spur the proliferation of pests and weeds that further inhibit yields… The problem isn’t too many people in the world but too many factory farms that are chemical-intensive and environmentally destructive. Large-scale commodity plantations like those currently growing millions of acres of soybeans and corn, for instance, are stripping our soils of nutrients and rapidly destroying arable land all around the world.” (emph. added)

Prokopis_PavlopoulosGerman finance minister demands unconditional surrender from Greece – by Christoph Dreier, WSWS.com – The extension of the EU/Greece “Debt Package” now seems to be off again. March 1st approaches… – “In another development, Syriza’s subordination to the ruling elite within Greece was confirmed, with the election of the new President… The government nominated right-winger Prokopis Pavlopoulos, who received the votes of 233 of the 300 seats in the Greek parliament. This vast majority was not necessary to secure Pavlopoulos’ election; just 151 votes would have been enough in the final round of voting… The 64-year-old Pavlopoulos sits on ND’s central committee. He has repeatedly held high state and government posts, including most recently that of Minister of the Interior from 2004 to 2009… In this latter position, Pavlopoulos in 2008 sent in police to brutally attack protesters after the police shooting of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos. Hundreds of people were arrested in the ensuing police crackdown.

Wiretaps reveal Turkey’s attacks on Syrian regime positions – by Fehim Taştekin, Al-Monitor.com – “During the trial of the Islamic State (IS) militants who attacked Turkish security forces at Nigde last year, court files revealed that Turkey, beyond supplying opposition forces with weapons and ammunition, had also given artillery support to the opposition groups that captured Kassab. The prosecutor obtained striking admissions by tapping the defendants’ phones. According to documents obtained by Ahmet Sik of Cumhuriyet, the wiretapping transcripts reveal that the opposition forces at Kassab inform people in Turkey of the coordinates of Syrian army positions around Kassab, and then Turkey shells those locations… Summary Court documents reveal that last year, when the Syrian opposition captured the Armenian town of Kassab, the Turkish army shelled the Syrian army.”

Lieberman Israeli foreign minister on Facebook: Palestinian prisoners should be executed – by Patrick Strickland, ElectronicIntifada.net – “Israel’s hardline right-wing foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman plans to introduce a bill into the country’s parliament, the Knesset, which would implement the death penalty for Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli lockup… Alongside a photo reading “Death penalty for terrorists,” Lieberman wrote on his Facebook page that his party — Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) — supports the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners… ‘The struggle against terror is the largest challenge for the 21st century world. This is also Israel’s great challenge, but there’s a large gap between what Israel preaches and what is done here [in Israel],’ Lieberman stated… “The first law that Yisrael Beitenu will propose is a death penalty for terrorists, because otherwise we’re ordering up more terror and yet more terror,” Lieberman added. At the time of writing, Lieberman’s post had already received more than 1,400 “likes” and had been shared 185 times.”

Harvard-SnowAfter Blizzard Closes Campus, Harvard Spends $800,000 to Combat “Global Warming” – School concerned about “global warming” and, in contrast, students falling behind due to snow – by Kit Daniels, PrisonPlanet.com – ” ‘This current push of arctic air is delivering air that is just as cold, or even colder than the air that brought subzero lows to the Midwest and Northeast during last weekend,’ Brian Lada of Accuweather reported. ‘Millions will shiver from Chicago to New York City as record lows are challenged during this bitter blast.’.. ‘Records may also fall across parts of the South where temperatures manage to fall into the teens and single digits.’.. This hasn’t stopped climate change advocates from pushing their agenda to expand the size and scope of government to supposedly combat “global warming.”.. ‘The single most important thing we face globally is the fact that we are heating the planet to a level that is never before been tried, while also trying to have human civilization,’ MSNBC’s Chris Hayes said on a Feb. 17 broadcast while the temperature outside his studio was in the low 20s.” (emph. added – Note: You can’t make this stuff up)

Rights Flexing Lawmaker has Police Freaking Out Over Bill that Bans License Plate Scanners – by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “As expected, police are not happy…’“This bill ties the hands of law enforcement. In advance,’ Larry Epstein of the Montana Association of Police Chiefs complained to reporters… The bill would allow licence plate scanners to be used for some rare situations. One example is ‘to collect data for city planning’ as long as ‘the anonymity of the vehicle, the vehicle owner, the driver of the vehicle, and any passengers in the vehicle’ was guaranteed. However, the bill also states that information collected for city planning purposes could not later be used against suspects in court.”

Free_RaqqaInside the Islamic State ‘capital’: no end in sight to its grim rule – US air strikes have damaged morale in Raqqa, Syria, but a local anti-Isis activist says no one is expecting the group to be driven out – by Abu Ibrahim al-Raqqawi, TheGuardian.com – “The city has become a prison for women under 45. The regime says they cannot leave because they may be raped in areas held by Isis or other rebel groups, but most people inside Raqqa think that it is because they are desperate for more wives for the fighters… Isis has banned men born after 1992 from leaving the city for regime areas, to take exams, collect salaries or anything else. That means that no one can go any more, because who wants to flee to Turkey without their wife or daughters and sons?.. Also, people don’t want to leave because as soon as anyone goes, Isis seizes their house. It has confiscated many homes from Christians, members of the Free Syrian Army and any activists it has caught… Isis can’t afford news to get out of people defecting, so anyone attempting to sneak out is executed in secret. They killed several people in the west of the city and just dumped their bodies in a hole until the smell got so bad that they had to bury them.”

US ”Easing Into” War with Syria by Using ISIS – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Barring Syria and its allies’ ability to provide sufficient deterrence against the beginning of this latest, most dangerous, and most desperate yet leg of America’s war on Syria, and should Syrian defenses be incapable of staving off a Libyan-style NATO operation that has left that nation entirely in the hands of ISIS, expect to see yet another nation handed directly over to extremists – intentionally – for the sole purpose of continuing this proxy crusade next into Lebanon and Iran, then into southern Russia and western China.”

The First AI War Is Coming – Will a small tech elite pit themselves against the rest of humanity in a 21st “Artilect” war of gigadeath? – by David Knight, PrisonPlanet.com – “(Hugo de Garis) calls the resulting conflict the Artilect War and says: ‘Imagine getting in a time machine and telling the gay (18)90s Europeans of the horrors of trench warfare in WW1, due to the invention of the machine gun, shells, and gas… We are talking about 21st century weapons, with a killing power that could put the casualty rate into the billions (gigadeath).’.. Even though de Garis believes that AI will produce godlike, intelligent machines (that he calls Artilects) and will result in the extinction of the human species, he is still drawn to the challenge.”

VaroufakisA Soros «Trojan Horse» inside the New Greek Government? – by Wayne Madsen, Strategic-Culture.org – “Varoufakis’s curriculum vitae, like that of Jaresko’s, reeks of George Soros-intertwined globalist links. For a finance minister who is to — if we believe the dire warnings from the corporate press — challenge the austerity measures dictated to Greece’s previous failed conservative and social democratic governments by the «Troika» of the IMF, ECB, and European Commission, Varoufakis has had a past close relationship with the global entities with which he is expected to battle.”

Israeli Defense Force fires 43 elite reservists for protesting ‘persecution’ of Palestinians – from RT.com – ” ‘There is no place in the IDF for refusal [to serve], and we view the exploitation of military service for the expression of a political stance gravely. In the case at hand, in light of the conduct of the reservists, which is not in keeping with what is expected of them, it has been decided to terminate their reserve service in the unit,’ the IDF spokesman’s office said in a statement… The top-secret Unit 8200 is the largest in the Israel Defense Forces and central to signal intelligence, spying on phone calls, text messages, emails and other forms of communication… In the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and other top military officials, the reservists said they were ordered to collect far more information than was necessary for protecting Israel. The intel instead was used to harass and harm innocent civilians, they wrote.”

For the week of 2/9/15:

David_Stockman-of-OMBHistory In the Balance: Why Greece Must Repudiate Its “Banker Bailout” Debts And Exit The Euro – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “If the Greeks do not take a stand for their own dignity and independence at what amounts to a financial Thermopylae, neither will the rest of Europe ever escape from the dysfunctional, autocratic, impoverishing superstate regime that has metastasized in Brussels and Frankfurt under cover of the “European Project.”.. Indeed, the crony capitalist corruption and craven appeasement of the banks and financial markets that have become the modus operandi there are inexorably destroying the EU and single currency. By fleeing the euro and ECB with all deliberate speed, therefore, the Greeks will give-up nothing except the opportunity to be lashed to the greatest monetary train wreck ever recorded… So Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has the weight of history on his shoulders as he makes the rounds of European capitals this week.”

Cancer is finally Cured in Canada but Big Pharma has ‘No Interest’ – from WorldTruth.tv – “This report by CTV News covers Dr. Evangelos Michelakis at the University of Alberta and the drug called DCA which has been found to reduce the size of cancerous tumors. Dr. Dario Alterieri from the University of Massachusetts agreed that the drug should be tested for its side effects and safety issues. However, there is no patent on this drug… Since there is no patent on DCA and no pharmaceutical company owns this drug, CTV reported that drug companies will not want to bring this drug out on the market or conduct studies on this drug due to the fact that they can’t make a profit off a drug that can be inexpensively produced. CTV News also mentioned that it costs nearly $100 million dollars for testing to become completed on a new drug, so it looks like everything comes down to a matter of money.”

Le Pen says Washington attempting to start ‘war in Europe’ – from RT.com – “Her words echoed statements by former French Prime minister Francois Fillon, who told the public broadcaster France 5 on Sunday that the United States was attempting to ‘unleash a war in Europe, which would end in catastrophe.’ He added that once a war broke out, the US would attempt to distance itself from it… ‘Total war caused [by the] Ukrainian conflict is absolutely unacceptable. And really there is no reason for it,’ he said.”

The Wild Card Question that Brussels Dares not Ask – from TheWealthWatchman.com – “What if the Greek government isn’t just “talking tough”? What if Brussels has completely misread their opponents? What if Syriza’s confidence springs, not from obstinate brinksmanship, but from the knowledge of what they stand to gain with their new burgeoning, geo-political partnerships?.. Brussels keeps asking the question, “How will Greece cope with what they’ll lose, if they leave the Eurozone”?.. The question that Brussels should be asking though(but dares not) is: What does Greece stand to gain by seeking a completely new financial arrangement elsewhere?”

If You Listen Carefully, The Bankers Are Actually Telling Us What Is Going To Happen Next – by Michael Snyder, ActivistPost.com – “It seems the risk premium of Greece leaving EMU is rising. Our scenario analysis suggests a Greek exit taking EURUSD down to 0.90… If that happens, we could see a massive implosion of the 26 trillion dollars in derivatives that are directly tied to the value of the euro… We are moving into a time of great peril for global financial markets, and there are a whole host of signs that we are slowly heading into another major global economic crisis… So don’t be fooled by all of the happy talk in the mainstream media. They did not see the last crisis coming either.”

Guess What Happened The Last Time The U.S. Dollar Skyrocketed In Value Like This?… – by Michael Snyder, TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com – “Yes, someday the U.S. dollar will essentially be toilet paper. But that is not in our immediate future.

You can see the the U.S. dollar moved upward dramatically relative to other currencies starting in mid-2008. And toward the end of the chart you can see that the U.S. dollar is now experiencing a similar spike…”

2,000 UK troops, RAF spy plane bound for Jordan to combat ISIS – from RT.com – “The decision follows criticism from the Commons Defence Select Committee that the UK was not committing sufficient troops or resources to the area… An initial group of 60 military planners will join a coalition HQ in Jordan, which will be used to co-ordinate support of Kurdish and Iraqi troops, followed by a further 2,000 who will mainly act in a training capacity, the source told the Express… The UK’s increased involvement follows Jordan’s decision to extend airstrikes from Syria to Iraq… The RAF Sentinel R1 spy plane will be used to identify potential targets for coalition airstrikes on IS positions. Royal Artillery drones and electronic jammers from the Royal Signals are expected to be in place by April.” – Part of their duties to include training…hmmm

Saudis Send Violent Prison Criminals to Fill Ranks of ISIS Sand Pirates in Syria – from 21stCenturyWire.com and Christof Lehmann, NSNBC.com – “The official, classified document shows that the authorities of Saudi Arabia have ordered the release of a group of the most dangerous criminals who have been sentenced to death in exchange for going to fight in Syria… Prior to their deployment to Syria, the convicts are to be trained in unconventional warfare, terrorism, or in what is euphemistically described as Jihad… The group of convicts includes 105 Yemeni, 21 Palestinian, 212 Saudi, 96 Sudanese, 254 Syrian, 82 Jordanian, 68 Somali, 32 Afghan, 194 Egyptian, 203 Pakistani, 23 Iraqi and 44 Kuwaiti citizens.

McCain-al-BaghdadiPROPOSAL FOR WAR: Obama Sends Request to Congress for 3-year Military Campaign with ISIS – by Shawn Helton, 21stCenturyWire.com and Peter Baker, NYTimes.com – “A proposal sent by the White House to Capitol Hill on Wednesday would formally give the president the power to continue the airstrikes he has been conducting since last fall against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, as well as ‘associated persons or forces.’ The measure would set limits that were never imposed during the wars of the last decade in Afghanistan and Iraq by expiring in three years and withholding permission for ‘enduring offensive ground combat operations.’.. But in a letter to Congress accompanying the proposal, Mr. Obama, who has said there would be no boots on the ground in Iraq and Syria, envisioned limited ground combat operations ‘such as rescue operations’ or the use of ‘Special Operations forces to take military action against ISIL leadership.’ He also said the legislation would allow the use of ground forces for intelligence gathering, target spotting and planning assistance to ground troops of allies like Iraq’s military.”

The “Catastrophic Shutdown Of America’s Supply Chain” Begins: Stunning Photos Of West Coast Port Congestion – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “In any case, as of last night, the choking of the US supply-chain has officially begin, when as the LA Times reported last night, “West Coast ports — including the nation’s busiest in Los Angeles and Long Beach — will partially shut down for four days as shipping companies plan to dramatically slash dock work amid an increasingly contentious labor dispute.”.. More: ‘Terminal operators and shipping lines said that they would stop the unloading of ships Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, because they don’t want to pay overtime to workers who, they allege, have deliberately slowed operations to the point of causing a massive bottleneck.’.. According to the LA Times, it is not clear if the partial shutdown foreshadows a total closure of the ports. Fears of a lockout of dockworkers, who have been without a contract since July, have risen in the last week and the two sides haven’t held talks since Friday. SF Gate was far more clear on what the dockworker action means: ‘West Coast ports to shut down 4 days amid labor dispute.’: ‘Work delays and stoppages over the past three months have caused mounting problems for Bay Area importers and small-business owners, who say they are losing money as trucks line up daily outside the Port of Oakland waiting for container ships anchored in San Francisco Bay to unload.’ ”

Dragnet Closing in on US Citizens and Their Assets – from TheDailyBell.com – ” ‘H.R. 719, the TSA Office of Inspection Accountability Act, ensures that funding is used wisely by TSA. It would require that TSA Criminal Investigators spend at least 50 percent of their time investigating, apprehending, or detaining individuals suspected of committing a crime. Currently, TSA does not necessitate that its Criminal Investigators meet this requirement, despite being considered law enforcement officers and receiving premium pay.’.. We can see from the last graf of this release that Katko’s bill would shove the TSA in the direction of investigating ANYONE suspected of committing a crime. The TSA was set up to keep US skies safe from terrorism. Now it is morphing into a full-fledged criminal investigation agency.”

Truth? We don’t need no stinkin’ truth – by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, PressTV.ir – With an interview of Russ Baker, WhoWhatWhy.com – “Another story going up probably today is how The New York Times, instead of investigating any of these things, they quickly have somebody roll out a story talking about conspiracy theorists and how anybody who has questions about things basically is sort of mentally ill, which is a very, very important contradiction. If you ask any questions and you don’t accept the conventional narrative that everything is just fine, there is something really, really wrong with you.”

Dr_GerberdingDr. Julie Gerberding oversaw historic mumps vaccine fraud cover-up – by L.J. Devon, NaturalNews.com – “Damning evidence, revealed in court documents from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, show that Merck was engaged in years of vaccine fraud. The pharmaceutical giant Merck lied to the FDA, used the CDC and committed vaccine crimes against the American public, falsifying their mumps vaccine efficacy rate using rabbit antibodies… In 2006, Dr. Julie Gerberding was the head of the CDC. During her time there, she oversaw a serious mumps vaccine cover-ups, documented in the antitrust lawsuit, Stephen A Krahling and Joan A. Wlochowski vs. Merck & Co… In January 2010, former CDC head Dr. Julie Gerberding took a high career position as the president of Merck’s Vaccine Division. The conflict of interest was apparent. Gerberding sold Merck’s fraudulent mumps vaccine for years, and for her deceit, she joined Merck at the helm of their Vaccine Division in 2010. As the court documents reveal, this was no conspiracy theory, but was instead the result of a culture of corruption only to move vaccines for profit.”

Russia is also in talks with Iran to exclude the US dollar from bilateral transactions.”

Russia Warns U.S. Arming Ukraine Will Be Considered an Act of War – Russia will respond in Ukraine and elsewhere if Obama arms Kiev regime – by Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com – “Alexei Pushkov, a leading Russian MP and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, told the European Parliament the delivery of arms to Ukraine is the first step in what will become larger participation in the conflict by the United States. He said sending armaments was one of the first steps in U.S. involvement in Vietnam… ‘First they sent weapons, then they sent military advisers, then troops to protect military advisers, then troops to fight the Vietnamese.’.. He warned the United States against following “an extremely dangerous path” and characterized U.S. Republican Senator John McCain as “trigger-happy.”.. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday the plan to arm the regime in Kiev is ‘aimed at destabilizing the situation in Ukraine.’.. Evgeny Buzhinsky, a military expert at the Moscow-based PIR Center and a former lieutenant general in the Russian Army, told The Moscow Times “Russia would reasonably consider the U.S. to be a direct participant in the conflict” if it sends arms and will act accordingly… Buzhinsky added that Russia would not only up the stakes in eastern Ukraine, but will ‘also respond asymmetrically against Washington or its allies on other fronts.’ ” (emph. added)

Sheriff_Scott_LondonSheriff thwarts IRS effort to seize land – Refuses to allow sale until due process exhausted – from WND.com – “The IRS fabricates evidence against citizens by pulling numbers out of a hat and adding fees,” wrote Sheriff Mack. “They wear people down emotionally and financially until they can’t take it anymore. No citizen should ever have to fight the IRS for decades in order to keep his land.’.. BenSwann.com reported the Taxation & Revenue Department ordered Carter to cease “engaging in business in New Mexico” until his arbitrary tax debt was paid… Carter appealed the injunction, arguing it is both unconstitutional and vague. He contended it deprived him of his right to make a living and barred him from ‘carrying on or causing to be carried on any activity with the purpose of direct or indirect benefit.’.. In a letter to IRS agent Darlene Jones Feb. 5, London reiterated that Carter had not exhausted or waived his due process… ‘Thus I am notifying you that under compulsion to my oath to the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of New Mexico, I shall not allow the sales of these three properties on 19 February 2015,’ he wrote..”

Michael_Peevey Utility Commissioner’s Emails Reveal Smart Meter Conspiracy – by Josh del Sol, ActivistPost.com – “As utility and political leaders from around the country toasted Michael Peevey last night on a “job well done”, truth advocates will continue to sift through emails. We can only guess what will be revealed in the coming months. However, it appears that it won’t be a comfortable retirement for those who broke their own rules and brushed aside safety in order to push through the multi-billion dollar boondoggle that is the wireless “smart” grid.”

Crazy-in-UkraineIntense photos show how crazy things are getting in Ukraine – by Jeremy Bender, Business Insider.com – The copy in this article is written as pro-NATO propaganda. – “…large portions of cities throughout eastern Ukraine have been damaged, especially around the city of Donetsk… The destruction has led to a number of internally displaced people (IDP) seeking shelter wherever possible. In this photo, a young IDP adjusts to makeshift life in a train cabin close to the city of Slaviansk… As Ukrainians are forced to flee their homes, the separatists are making gains due in large part to significant Russian backing. The Ukrainian military has struck back with the use of artillery and GRAD rockets… Near the town of Debaltseve, Ukrainian troops are bracing for a major tactical battle… The fall of the city would place major strain on Ukraine’s already failing electrical grid… The city also serves as a bulwark against the separatist’s taking control of the town of Artemivsk, the site of a major Ukrainian arms depot.”

Kevin_DavisShot three times by police, then isolated in hospital. Why was Kevin Davis’s family barred from seeing him? – Kevin Davis died on 31 December but his case has only come to light after his family recruited attorney – by Jon Swaine, TheGuardian.com – “Kevin Davis was detained at Grady hospital in Atlanta after being shot three times by a DeKalb County police officer, who was responding to a 911 call made by Davis and his girlfriend when she was stabbed by another man at their apartment in the suburb of Decatur… His sister, Delisa, said she spent his final hours begging police to allow her to see him, but that they refused until he died. “They denied us access to him because they didn’t want him telling us what really happened that night,” she told the Guardian. In his last known remarks, Davis told a medic that an officer simply arrived at his home ‘and began shooting’.”

The Minsk Peace Deal: Farce Or Sellout? – by Paul Craig Roberts, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Looking at the deal itself, it is set up to fail. The only parties to the deal who had to sign it are the leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk break-away republics. The other signers to the Minsk deal are an OSCE representative which is the European group that is supposed to monitor the withdrawal of heavy weapons by both sides, a former Ukrainian president Viktor Kuchma, and the Russian ambassador in Kiev. Neither the German chancellor nor the French, Ukrainian, and Russian presidents who brokered the deal had to sign it… One expectation is that Ukraine and the republics will negotiate terms for future local elections in the provinces that will bring them back under Ukraine’s legal control. The day after the local elections, but prior to the constitutional reform that provides the regions with autonomy, Kiev takes control of the borders with Ukraine and between the provinces. I read this as the total sell-out of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. Apparently, that is the way the leaders of the republics see it as well, as Putin had to twist their arms in order to get their signatures to the agreement… The Russian government might want to carefully consider whether Moscow is helping Washington to achieve another victory in Ukraine.”

From the “And-Now-For-Something-Completely-Different” Desk: Minsk-2: The Useless Agreement Which Everybody Wanted – by The Saker, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Short message to the “Putin sold out” folks: guys, I have been ignoring your mantric repetition of unsubstantiated slogans about Putin “selling out” and “backstabbing” and all the rest, but I will tell you that not a single one of you has ever been capable of making a coherent, fact based and logically supported analysis proving your point. I think that mantras are great for yoga, but on this blog, they don’t make you look any smarter. I let you post them here “because why not?” but please don’t mistake that with a sign of respect for the nonsense you have spewing. The main reason why I don’t debunk your nonsense is that time will do a much better job then I could, and that it will hurt you more when you are proven wrong not by my reasoning, but by undisputed facts on the ground (just like those who screamed that Putin betrayed Assad and Syria by making them, quote, “give up their only deterrence against Israeli nuclear weapons”).” – This is simply the best article on this matter out there.

Phillip_KarberHere’s The Ukrainian Delegation That Gave Misleading Photos To Senator’s Office – An obscure group duped Senator Inhofe’s office. The delegation’s U.S. leader says it was a “misunderstanding.” – by Rosie Gray, Buzzfeed.com – ““In terms of yesterday, from my perspective there was no intention to mislead anyone, and particularly a US Senator or his staff,” Karber said. “In the haste of running for the airport and trying to respond to a last minute request with short time fuse, I made the mistake of believing we were talking about the same photos — i.e. burned casualties (which were 6 of the nine used) and it never occurred to me that the 3 photos of Russian armor were part of that package or being considered. Had I seen them, I know I would have raised immediate objection to the use of at least one and insisted that none of the armor photos be used until Bereza himself confirmed each and every one by looking at the photos personally. That is hindsight, but it does not excuse what happened or rectify the embarrassment it has caused.” – Oops, so sorry, but not my bad…

Nanny State: Cops Stop Teens from Shoveling Snow Without Their Government Permit – by Melissa Melton, TruthStreamMedia.com – “To get a permit for door-to-door solicitation in Bound Brook, Molinari and Schnepf would have had to pay the borough $450 (and the government-issued permission slip is only good for 180 days at a time, which is fine if you’re trying to run a snow-shoveling business, but not so great if you’re trying to offer services year-round)… Gee, how many driveways would these teens have to shovel in the one day they had off school just to break even at that point?.. The middle class is dying in this country. Officials are putting the squeeze on everyone to hasten that death. And the cops in this case, as usual in police state America, say they don’t make the rules, they just enforce them. What does that tell you?.. How sick are Americans going to get of hearing that tripe in the weeks and years to come?.. It’s official. We live in a country where a high schooler can’t even earn $20 shoveling snow out of a neighbor’s driveway without Uncle Sam taking a cut. What a greedy lowlife scumbag that guy is.(emph. added)

Darpa-nonymousFeds Unveil New Surveillance Tool Developed by DARPA that Could Kill the ‘Dark Web’ – by Cassius Methyl, ActivistPost.com – “Recently in a CBS news report, representatives of DARPA were interviewed about a search engine they are developing called ‘Memex’, designed to scan the darkest recesses of the deep web, and probably do a lot more than they say it’s capable of… Without acknowledging any regard for the dangers of this power, the CBS article said: ‘Memex goes far beyond the realm of traditional search engines and gives law enforcement a powerful new tool to search the “dark web,” where criminals buy, sell, and advertise in the illegal weapons trade and sex trafficking.’.. They claim the primary use of this search engine will be to catch human traffickers. However, if you are reading this, surely you know that DARPA exists to further the horizons of power consolidated in the US Government and Military-Industrial-Complex, not to keep us safe.” (emph. added)

A Paralyzing Mystery—Literally—In the USA – by Catherine J. Frompovich, ActivistPost.com – “Vaccines are proving to be more problematic than science is ready to handle, it seems. Also, the unfortunate scientific/pharmaceutical spin mantra is that “they cannot harm” and anything that happens to an individual after receiving vaccines, especially multiple doses at one time, is ‘coincidental’. Nothing is further from the sorry facts, as thousands upon thousands, if not millions of children globally, are proving with horrible vaccine adverse events and side effects… There is nothing more validly important currently in public health in the USA, and globally—especially with the World Health Organization, than to stop mandatory vaccinations, since there are too many paralyzing ‘coincidences’ happening globally.”

US-Israel-Allegiance_ForeverUS helped Israel with H-bomb – 1980s report declassified – from RT.com – “The 386-page report, ‘Critical Technology Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations,’ likens top Israeli nuclear facilities to the Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories that were key in the development of US nuclear weaponry… Israelis are ‘developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level,’ said the report, the release of which comes before Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s March 3 speech in front of the US Congress in which he will oppose any deal that allows Iran’s legal nuclear program to persist… “I am struck by the degree of cooperation on specialized war making devices between Israel and the US,” Roger Mattson, a formerly of the Atomic Energy Commission’s technical staff, said of the report, according to Courthouse News… ‘The Symington Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 prohibits most U.S. foreign aid to any country found trafficking in nuclear enrichment equipment or technology outside international safeguards,’ Smith wrote… ‘The Glenn Amendment of 1977 calls for an end to U.S. foreign aid to countries that import nuclear reprocessing technology.’ ” (emph. added)

Though the vaccines are said to be 99% effective, a recent anti-vaccination movement in the US – linking autism to the vaccines, even though that link was debunked – has seen an increase in the number of parents who choose not to vaccinate their children.” (emph. added)

Poroshenko-n-Yats-GlumPoroshenko will impose martial law if cease-fire fails – by Katya Gorchinskaya, KyivPost.com – ” ‘Even before Minsk… I warned that we will have to, if there is no peace, take a very difficult but necessary decision to introduce martial law,’ Poroshenko said today. ‘I stress once again that in this case the martial law will be introduced not just in Donetsk and Luhansk, but in the whole country.’.. Introduction of martial law means that Ukraine’s army gets to control the streets and impose curfews, ban parties and other organizations, as well as mass gatherings, conduct searches and introduce censorship. It’s also allowed to claim property of businesses and private individual if needed… Ukraine’s army said there has been no sign that the cease-fire is going to start in the east. Moreover, fights intensified in some areas, most notably close to Debaltseve…”

US and Ukrainian officials seek to torpedo Minsk cease-fire agreement – by Niles Williamson, WSWS.org – “McCain declared: ‘The agreement reached in Minsk freezes the conflict at a time of separatist advantage, solidifies the gains of Russian aggression and leaves Ukraine’s borders with Russia firmly under Moscow’s control pending a comprehensive political settlement whose content is unknown and feasibility is unclear.” He added that the cease-fire should not be “an excuse to delay sending defensive lethal assistance to Ukraine.’.. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, during a visit to a military training center outside Kiev on Friday, came close to repudiating the agreement he had signed the previous day. ‘I want nobody to have any illusions,’ he told reporters. ‘We are still far away from peace, and nobody is fully convinced that the conditions for peace signed in Minsk will be firmly implemented.’ ”

Ukraine Agrees To Monsanto Land Grab For $17 Billion IMF Loan – by Christina Sarich, PopularResistance.org – “The nation WAS Europe’s breadbasket – and now in an act of bio-warfare, it will become the wasteland that many US farmlands have become due to copious amounts of herbicide spraying, the depletion of soil, and the overall disruption of a perfect ecosystem… The aim of US government entities is to support the takeover of Ukraine for biotech interests (among other strategies involving the prop-up of a failing cabalistic banking system that Russia has also refused with its new alignment with BRICS and its own payment system called SWIFT). This is similar to biotech’s desired takeover of Hawaiian islands and land in Africa.”

Putin set to drop “truth bomb” on USA – Will Russia blow 9/11 wide open? by Kevin Barrett, VeteransToday.com – “The original story reporting Putin’s threat was published by Pravda on February 7th. According to Duff, that story has been confirmed by a reliable source who has actually seen some of the photos during a visit to Moscow. VT sources insist that this is NOT merely a shot across the bow of the US government. Putin, these sources say, is genuinely planning to release the 9/11 material… These historic photos are expected to show: * That none of the passenger airliners allegedly used as weapons on 9/11 actually crashed where we were told they did; and: * That the World Trade Center demolitions were conducted using extremely high-energy weapons.” – With 1 hour video of Kevin Barrett’s weekly news show.

Nursing homes legally kidnapping elderly patients to collect on medical bills – by Ethan A. Huff, NaturalNews.com – “According to a lawyer representing MMW, who claims he’s brought 5,000 guardianship cases himself before the courts during his 21 years of practice, taking advantage of the guardianship clause in this manner is completely legitimate. But Judge Alexander W. Hunter Jr., a longtime State Supreme Court justice in the Bronx and Manhattan, says it’s completely abhorrent… Nursing homes aren’t the only entities taking advantage of the guardianship clause, known specifically as Article 81 of the Mental Hygiene Law. According to preliminary data collected by the Brookdale Center on Healthy Aging at Hunter College, most guardianship cases are filed by Adult Protective Services, with friends and family of the patients and hospitals coming in second and third… “It has become a system that’s very focused on finances,’ stated Jean Callahan, director of the school, to the NYT.”

GMOs invade fruit industry: Apples, pears, cherries and peaches to all become unlabeled GMO – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “The USDA has neglected to look at the full range of risks from these apples.

Flu vaccine paradox adds to public health debate – ‘Canadian problem’ an example of odd effects of prior vaccination – from CBC.ca – “During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, researchers at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control originally thought seasonal flu shots from 2008 might offer extra protection against the new pandemic strain. They were puzzled to find instead, seasonal flu vaccination almost doubled the risk of infection with pandemic flu… Dr. Danuta Skowronski and her colleagues went on to do five more studies during the summer that showed the same effect in people and in ferrets, which are considered the best animal model of flu.”

States go full throttle to limit feds – by Bob Unruh, WND.com – “The Tenth Amendment Center, which tracks legislation at the state level, has listed some 200 state bills ‘seeking to block or limit federal power.’ – ‘Sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans, these bills range from narrowly focused legislation that would allow terminally ill people access to experimental drugs and medical treatments despite FDA regulations, to bills that would deny resources and assistance from states to the NSA. Other legislation addresses the Second Amendment, the federal prohibition of hemp and marijuana, Common Core, the use of drones for surveillance, the Affordable Care Act, and even federal grant programs that arm local police with battlefield-ready military equipment,’ the center said.”

Sizer’s Chief Inquisitor is Jonathan Arkush, Vice-Present of the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The Board of Deputies of British Jews has been bullying the Church of England in a thuggish fashion ever since a meeting in 2012 at Lambeth Place, the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury… The General Synod, the Church of England’s highest legislative body met at Lambeth Place to consider strengthening ties with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI)… Reverend Sizers subjugation to yet another Anglican Inquisition was prompted by his posting of the Wikispooks article on his Facebook page, now removed, entitled ‘9/11: Israel Did It.’ He then asks the rhetorical question, ‘Is this Anti-Semitic?

So that meter is not transmitting whatsoever. We have to go there and physically read that meter.’.. According to Andrea, the option provides little reassurance given power companies’ constant lies regarding Smart Meters… ‘It’s a false opt-out program, in that I’m not allowed the choice to have an analog meter,’ she said.”

Why This Harvard Economist Is Pulling All His Money From Bank Of America – by Terry Burnham, ZeroHedge.com – “Why do I risk starting a run on Bank of America by withdrawing my money and presuming that many fellow depositors will read this and rush to withdraw too? Because they pay me zero interest. Thus, even an infinitesimal chance Bank of America will not repay me in full, whenever I ask, switches the cost-benefit conclusion from stay to flee… Let me explain: Currently, I receive zero dollars in interest on my $1,000,000. The reason I had the money in Bank of America was to keep it safe. However, the potential cost to keeping my money in Bank of America is that the bank may be unwilling or unable to return my money.”

Justin-waterboardedSo, I was waterboarded… – by Justin King, ActivistPost.com – “During what seemed like an exceptionally long pour of water, I heard somebody yelling “let him up.” I thought those watching had seen my body react in a bad way. The water kept flowing for what seemed like a few more years. Then suddenly somebody was pulling me up by my arm. I still had water in my mouth and nose when I realized it was an Ohio State Police officer. I became dead weight and rolled onto my side to empty the remaining water. For some reason, I blurted “I consented!” It was as if I believed the officer thought this was some form of very bizarre assault being filmed by random pedestrians… My senses came back around while the officer was yelling that he believed my life was in danger. I heard the crowd yelling back.”

His voice rings true now more than ever… The internet meme below has been subject of a good bit of controversy. Not only is Gandhi taking what many today consider an extreme ‘anti-vaxxer’ stance, but some have questioned whether or not he ever made this statement, or statements like it… The truth is that this quote only scratches the surface of Gandhi’s biting critique of the dangers, inefficacy, and malfeasance associated with the vaccination campaigns of his time.”

Next-Gen-IDBritain Launches ‘Big Brother’ System, Uploads One Third of Population to Facial Recognition Database – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “Under the pretext of “fighting terrorism” the British government has allowed the unthinkable to happen, as police have somehow managed to acquire and then upload what equates to approximately 33% of the UK population – 18 million ‘mug shots’ – into a nationwide, real-time facial recognition tracking system… …facial recognition is only the beginning, as US authorities begin rolling out the TSA’s new “emotional recognition” surveillance technology systems nationwide – and soon to be implemented worldwide. In addition to this, in September 2014, the FBI announced its new billion-dollar Next Generation Identification (NGI) program is ‘fully operational’. This new biometric system is a replacement for the FBI’s previous Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). The real-time system has the ability to be continually scanning for images of Americans 24 hours per day. In fact, the FBI has been sued by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) over access to its secret biometrics database, with EFF arguing that the US government refuses to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) requests, and is vacuuming up this data with absolutely no oversight at all. The lawsuit also revealed how the FBI is deploying drones in the US for surveillance purposes.”

Vaccine McCarthyism. What if the Vaccine Paradigm itself is Deliberately Flawed? – Did 2014 Mark the Collapse of the Vaccine Establishment? – by Dr. Gary Null and Richard Gale, GlobalResearch.ca – “The vaccine establishment is desperate. The ghosts of their fraudulent science, manipulated research, misleading propaganda across mainstream media and in the blogosphere are returning to haunt them. The pro-vaccine pundits are rapidly losing credibility as increasing numbers of parents and young adults educate themselves about vaccine efficacy and their health risks. If it were left for an open scientific debate between pro-vaccinators and those opposing vaccines, the former would not have sound science on their side… It is time for a national debate to end vaccine madness. As further research emerges, as the vaccine paradigm is further stripped away, future generations will be looking back upon vaccination as a barbaric, primitive practice.”

WiFi BANNED in pre-school childcare facilities by French Government – from StopSmartMeters.org.uk – “This week the French Parliament passed a law addressing the serious issues of electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. While the new law does not go far enough, it is a bold move and the first of its kind in the world.” – The bill also has provisions to require public disclosure of the EMF field of all radio installations, commercial notice to use devices to reduce EMF exposure from cell phones, creation of government maps of all cell towers, protection of children from cell phone radiation, and more.

Fulford-MandarinBen Fulford (Feb 3 2015)~ The West In De Facto Civil War As Cabal Rule Continues To Collapse – from ShiftFrequency.com – “In any case, the plan to create a new Khararia is not going well at all. For one thing, the would be Kharazians (not to be mistaken for citizens of the modern nation state of Khazakhstan) are using not very eager foreign mercenaries to fight for them against people fighting to defend their ancestral homeland. For another, the Western oil companies, who were the source of much of the financing for the mercenary army, are getting cold feet. Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Marathon and Eni have all recently announced they are leaving the region. If I was a betting man, I would not bet on Khazaria 2.0.”

New Housing Bubble: Prices Up, Ownership Down – Wall Street a Mega-Landlord – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “Worse, the wolves on Wall Street have pushed this trend deliberately… A host of speculators, private equity firms and Great White sharks have taken their free and cheap money – printed and handed over to them by the Federal Reserve – and used it not only to drive up single family home prices, but to buy them up and force more and more people to choose renting instead of owning!”

Pentagon Makes No Secret of Wanting to Monitor Social Change Activism – The Pentagon is researching how resource stress could topple governments – by Nafeez Ahmed, Alternet.org – “The Pentagon also wants to understand how all this links with the dynamics of social and political change more generally, with another section requesting input on “mobilization for change.” The research call mentions a specific concern with how political activism can lead to terrorism and violence, and its overall approach tends to see an individual’s or group’s interest in change activism as implying vulnerability to ‘radicalization’.”

Stephen_ZunesUS military budget, war funding ‘very disturbing’ – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘It’s very upsetting that the military budget of the United States is even higher now than it was during most of the Cold War,’ said Stephen Zunes, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco and a leading critic of US policy in the Middle East… ‘Even though there is now no more Soviet [Union] threat, we are spending more money than ever, wasting more than ever,’ Zunes told Press TV on Tuesday… ‘It’s very disturbing given the very pressing domestic needs regarding healthcare, education, the environment, housing, public transportation and the overall social welfare,’ he added.”

Brookings Wants More Villages Firebombed in Ukraine’s ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “On Monday, February 2nd, Brookings (whose Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack had been among the leaders of the invade-Iraq movement before the 2003 U.S. invasion there on false pretenses) issued a report, ‘Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do.’ This report urged ‘providing direct military assistance—in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms—so that Ukraine is better able to defend itself. The U.S. government should provide Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance as soon as possible in 2015, followed by additional tranches of $1 billion in FY 2016 and FY 2017.’ ”

Here are 8 invented diseases Big Pharma is banking on – by Martha Rosenberg, RawStory.com – “Since direct-to-consumer drug advertising debuted in 1997, pharma’s credo has been When The Medication Is Ready, The Disease (and Patients) Will Appear. Who knew so many people suffered from restless legs? Now pharma is back to creating new diseases, patients, risks and “awareness campaigns.” Check out these eight new diseases they’ve invented.”

Vladimir_RubanUkraine: “We Target Civilians.” Separatists: “Their Targeting Maps Prove It.” – by Eric Zuesse, WashingtonsBlog.com – “The shelling there is done as intimidation, … not just object destruction, but intimidation [to get the population to flee to nearby Russia]. The civilian population is intimidated by a chaotic bombardment of different objects. There are many shells that plug directly into the streets or vegetable gardens [and so make the very ground on which these people live terrifying to them]. INTERVIEWER: This refers to those that didn’t explode? (GEN. RUBAN): Yes, … there are many of those, … shells that fail to detonate. But Gorlowka has been fortunate to have not yet been totally eradicated from the face of the earth, along with the civilian population. INTERVIEWER: You mean that the city is bombarded violently? (GEN. RUBAN): Gorlowka was shelled by our troops, [even] as I went there for the prisoner exchange. Although it was known that I was there, they [our troops] kept up the bombardment of Gorlowka… Furthermore, “The presence of foreigners in their army and radio intercepts confirms our intelligence when we hear in interceptions, phrases in English and Polish.’ ”

Former US Diplomat: US Is Arming Kiev to Force “EU Wimps” into Confrontation with Russia – Washington does not believe arms to Ukraine can change the tide of war, it is actually aimed at Europeans – by Damir Marinovich, Russia-Insider.com – “• Arming of Ukraine is primarily directed against Europeans. Since there is more and more dissension in European ranks from the US’ confrontational policy the only way to scare the EU wimps back into a more confrontational position is to turn up the heat and the chaos. (Chief of US Army in the Europe is already awarding medals to crippled Ukrainian soldiers). • This is a clear parallel to the Balkan conflicts. There the United States also needed to demonstrate leadership by escalating conflict and dragging reluctant Europeans with them (bombing Serbs in 1995 and 1999, facilitate an inflow of Islamists to bolster the Bosnian Muslims in Bosnia and Albanian separatists in Serbia, and finally creating a NATO client state in Kosovo).”

CA Officials Allowed Fracking to Taint Drinking Water Amid Record Drought – from SputnikNews.com – “In 2010, cherry trees on Mike Hopkins San Joaquin Valley orchard starting turning brown, a problem that spread the next year… Tests of the water revealed high levels of salt and boron, both of which can damage trees. Hopkins blames oil companies for tainting the aquifer that used to feed his orchard, and sued four companies that had been injecting wastewater nearby… In another sign of California’s persistent drought, downtown San Francisco recorded no measurable rain in January for the first time in 165 years, the National Weather Service said.”

NATO is Already at War in Ukraine… and it is Losing – by Finian Cunningham, InformationClearingHouse.info – ” Wayne Madsen in his SCF column this week provides detailed evidence that a giant military transport plane, a Ukrainian Antonov AN124, has been tracked while flying weapons from the US and several NATO countries into Kiev for at least the past four months. The transporter plane – the world’s biggest such aircraft – has been spotted carrying out cargo runs in the US, Norway, Italy and Romania on a secret mission to funnel heavy weapons to the Kiev regime… Prior to that, the Russian government has claimed that US mercenaries, possibly belonging to Pentagon security contract firm, Blackwater/Academi, have been recorded operating inside Ukraine alongside Kiev’s military units, including the Nazi SS-styled National Guard… Earlier this month, when pro-Russian self-defence militia retook the Donetsk International Airport from Kiev forces, who had been using the facility to shell Donetsk City for the past several months, it was reported that among the charred remains were NATO manuals in several European languages and other items identified as NATO-standard equipment.”

Land Secured In Fukushima Opens Door For 1st Shipment Of Radioactive Waste – by Samantha Hemmingway, HealthFreedoms.org – “The Asahi Shimbun found that eight of the 13 companies that own property in the parks are willing to sell their land to the government and have already notified the appropriate officials of their decision… Most of the companies are in the pharmaceutical and machinery industries and based in Tokyo… ‘We doubt products we make here will sell anyway, even if we can someday resume operations,” said an official with a company that owns a factory in the Okuma park, referring to its decision to sell off the land. “We are afraid that (radiation-related) fears about products and produce from this area will linger’.”

Another Conspiracy Theory Becomes Fact: The Entire Oil Collapse Is All About Crushing Russian Control Over Syria – by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge.com – “(from the NY Times): Any weakening of Russian support for Mr. Assad could be one of the first signs that the recent tumult in the oil market is having an impact on global statecraft. Saudi officials have said publicly that the price of oil reflects only global supply and demand, and they have insisted that Saudi Arabia will not let geopolitics drive its economic agenda. But they believe that there could be ancillary diplomatic benefits to the country’s current strategy of allowing oil prices to stay low — including a chance to negotiate an exit for Mr. Assad.”

For the week of 1/26/15:

Kierra_Driscoll-RIPHealthy People Who Were Vaccinated for the Flu Continue to Die – from HealthImpactNews.com – “More deaths among otherwise healthy people are being reported all across the United States among children and adults who received this year’s flu vaccination. Here are a couple of the latest deaths being reported in local media stations… Is not one death from the flu in a healthy individual after receiving the flu vaccination worthy of an investigation into the safety of flu vaccines, and the supposed science behind them? When multiple deaths occur, when health officials call it “rare” after healthy individuals die from the flu after receiving the flu shot, does that not qualify as an “epidemic?” More people have now died from the flu after the flu shot in the United States than from Ebola.” – A lot more.

Engineered Winter Storm Assault, The Weather Makers Are Desperate For Headlines – by Dane Wigington, GeoengineeringWatch.org – “Winter storm “Juno” is here, and it is engineered from top to bottom. The weather event that is unfolding on the East Coast of the US is a completely manipulated monstrosity. The total desperation of the power structure and the climate engineers is so very evident as they throw everything they have at the creation of a “winter storm” which is meteorologically as unnatural as it could possibly be. Snow now generally has nothing to do with elevation, rather, the “heavy wet snow” is focused where most of the moisture is. Massive amounts of moisture are necessary for the chemical ice nucleation process which transforms what should have been rain into snow due to the endothermic reaction it induces.”

sandy-hook-elementary-school-in-newtownTrillion-Dollar Lawsuit Filed to Prove Sandy Hook Staged – by Pete Papaherakles, AmericanFreePress.net – “One of these people is filmmaker and author William Brandon Shanley. He has launched a wave of lawsuits for more than $1 trillion against big media over their Sandy Hook school shooting coverage. The New York Times, Associated Press, the Hartford Courant and The Newtown Bee are being sued for $10 billion in punitive damages… Shanley’s lawsuit says the media conspired to commit fraud and terrorism. ‘This fraud involved lying to the public, faking news, publishing one-sided news reports, censoring reality, suppressing facts and deliberately skewing the news to shift public perceptions,’ he argued.”

Charlie Hebdo bombshell! Suicided officer’s family denied access to autopsy – by Hicham Hamza, translated by Kevin Barrett, VeteransToday.com – “Helric Fredou’s service weapon was not equipped with a silencer. Her mother has asked a basic question to his colleagues: ‘Why didn’t you hear anything when he was shot at about midnight?’ Laconic reply: ‘His office was well insulated.’.. According to his mother, Helric Fredou wanted to make an important phone call after doing two things: debriefing “three investigators” who went out to question the immediate family of a victim of the attack on Charlie Hebdo (in this case, the relatives of Jeannette Bougrab – Charb’s self-styled girlfriend – as was discovered and disclosed by Panamza) and then checking “social networks.” It is at this point that Fredou would have made such an important deduction that he ‘wanted to keep working.’ Important point: the unidentified “commander” in the office that night wanted to take charge of debriefing investigators and writing the report, but Fredou insisted ‘It’s my job.’.. Finally, another odd fact deserves to be reported here: apart from the author of these lines, NO journalist has contacted – from January 8th onward – the mother or sister Helric Fredou to try to shed light on the case.”

Jeffrey_SterlingThe Invisible Man: Jeffrey Sterling, CIA Whistleblower – by Norman Solomon, OpEdNews.com – “Sterling was one of the very few African American case officers in the CIA. He became a whistleblower by virtue of going through channels to the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2003 to inform staffers about the CIA’s ill-conceived, poorly executed and dangerous Operation Merlin, which had given a flawed design for a nuclear weapons component to Iran back in 2000… Long story short, by the start of 2011, Sterling was up against the legal wall. While press-freedom groups and some others gradually rallied around Risen’s right to source confidentiality, Sterling remained the Invisible Man.”

Israel Launches Artillery Strikes Into Syria, Downs Syrian Jet – by Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost.com – “This is by no means the first time that Israel has attacked Syria in support of the Western-backed terrorists or even the first time that it has done so in coordination with them… For instance, in May 2013, WABC host and best-selling author Aaron Klein stated that an Israeli airstrike in Syria was closely coordinated with Turkey which, in turn, helped coordinate the death squad attacks to occur at the exact same time as the Israeli airstrikes. The sources speaking to Klein came from Jordanian and Egyptian intelligence agencies.”

stop-thought-crimesThinking: A Criminal Act? – by Julian Rose, ActivistPost.com – “We who follow our hearts and deeper intuitions do indeed belong to the rare breeds stable – and every attempt is being made to ensure that the stable door is locked and bolted so that we can no longer pass our messages to the outside world… On the flip side of the same coin we have ‘thought control’ – which is at an advanced stage – having been a major part of the control system’s sinister arsenal for many decades. A weapon with a special place in the carefully orchestrated strategy that surrounds the ever expanding ‘war on terror’.”

What to Expect From Your Doctor When You Say No to Vaccines – by Missy Fluegge, VacTruth.com – “When you take your child to their health care provider for a visit, you may have a list of questions to ask them about vaccines. You might be wondering about the risk of autism, the side effects of a vaccine, or the damaging effect dozens of vaccines will have on your child’s immune system… And, your child’s doctor will have answers: the ones they are trained to give you. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Pediatrics, two names you might trust but should not, have created brief manuals for doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and even pharmacists, teaching them how to successfully deal with parents who question or refuse vaccines.”

Corinthia_Hotel_AttackHOTEL HELL: Attack at Luxury Hotel in Libya Reveals ‘False Flag’ Event – by Shawn Helton, 21stCenturyWire.com – ” ‘The hotel, one of the most luxurious in Tripoli, the capital, is a hub for foreign tourists and businessmen visiting Libya, and it also houses the offices of several foreign embassies. But most foreigners have fled as the country has descended into chaos and armed conflict since last summer. Libyans who do business in the hotel said it was largely empty when the attack began.’.. Initial reports have stated that British, Italian and Turkish guests fled from the scene and that there may have been hostages, however Libyan that no hostages were taken and that at least two attackers had been killed.”

Russia defiant after more threats from West over Ukraine – by Vladimir Isachenkov, News.Yahoo.com – “A Russian envoy at the 57-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe rejected those claims, arguing that the rebels are using old Soviet-era weapons they seized from the Ukrainian arsenals… Andrey Kelin, who spoke after the OSCE called a special session on the uptick in fighting, said the rebels are using “very old Soviet equipment” dating back to the mid-1960s… Ever since the separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine flared up in April following Moscow’s annexation of Crimea, Russia has denied Western accusations that it has backed the insurgents with troops and weapons.”

Great_Fire_of_London (from 10/13/2014) The First False Flags – by JC Collins, PhilosophyOfMetrics.com – “The much utilized term “false flag” can mean a number of different things, from one sudden devastating event, to a slow burn series of events, and everything in between. In fact, the overall expansive proposition of the term is so broad that it is ineffective at conveying the overarching intent and methodology of the engineering that goes into the creation of such things… A more appropriate terminology would be Cultural and Socioeconomic Interception, which we will refer to from here on as CSI, capitalizing on the conscious familiarity of the term already in use by mass media entertainment in numerous television shows. (emph. added)

The Shadow of Tomorrow – The Forthcoming CSI Event – by JC Collins, PhilosophyOfMetrics.com – “The economic manipulation from external forces in the years leading up to the French Revolution, and the script which shifted the blame onto the the monarchy, is one such example of the CSI procedure. Another is the recent representation of Russia and Putin in the western media as the aggressor in the Ukraine situation. The script is rolled out through the mass media in segmented flashes with just enough time in between to lull the viewer into a state of apathy and acceptance… The script will read something like ‘external factors outside of American control have reversed the recovery and hard work of average Americans’. This script will focus mass awareness away from the coming internal governance measures, (required to integrate America into the multilateral system) and focus the confused and disappointed apathy of the masses onto whatever foreign and external source that is built into the macro script… The melding of the “American recovery” CSI script and the macro multilateral CSI script will require an “event” of undetermined characteristics and methodology. Now that the “recovery” script has been closed, we can expect to see this “event” take place at any time.” (emph. added)

Loretta_LynchAG Nominee Lynch: Illegal Aliens Have ‘The Right’ to Work In U.S. – from CNSNews.com – ” ‘I believe that the right and the obligation to work is one that’s shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here,’ Lynch responded… Sessions also asked her if she would take action as attorney general against an employer who preferred hiring U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents over illegal aliens… ‘With respect to whether or not those individuals [illegal aliens] would be able to seek redress for employment discrimination, if that is the purpose of your question, again, I haven’t studied that legal issue,’ said Lynch. (emph. added)

DOJ Appointee Loretta Lynch is Key in Washington’s Phony War on Terror – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “Viewed in the context of Senator Diane Feinstein’s Senate Intelligence Committee ‘CIA Torture Report’, it’s pretty clear that Lynch will stay with the status quo in the War on Terror, reinforcing a toxic federal justice system in which the FBI is heavily reliant on using informants and agent provocateurs to help fabricate countless fake “terror plots”.

Je Suis Donbass! Mariupol Attack Motive, Method and Madness – by George Eliason, OpEdNews.com – “Lady host:– What can you say about the local population? Who remains there in the territories under terrorists’ control? What should be done with them?.. Ukrainian trooper: They are all traitors. All those who wanted to fight for Unitary Ukraine have been with us for some time now. Only the supporters of terrorists and Muscovites are still here, and they have no right to call themselves Ukrainians. I am telling you openly: we will exterminate everyone, I stress — everyone, including women, children and the elderly, who plotted with the enemy and betrayed his native country.”

Aerosols-over-SoutheastThe Real Age of Stupid: Talking Heads Blame Latest Snowstorm on ‘Global Warming’ – by Patrick Henningson, 21stCenturyWire.com – “A few weeks ago they also said that last year was the warmest ever, which was also a lie. To be accurate, one could say that 2014 was 8/10 of a degree warmer than it was 100 years ago. On its own, however, even that figure is meaningless in the wider context – past, present and future – of this planet’s temperature, which is almost completely determined by celestial factors – like incoming rocks and the sun (and not SUV’s and cows). Truth be known, Global cooling is a much bigger threat to life in our Northern Hemisphere.”

People Can Be Induced To Remember Crimes They Never Committed – by Cathleen O’Grady, GovtSlaves.info – “Only participants who answered that they had genuinely believed the false memory, and who could give more than ten details of the event, were classified as having a true false memory. Of the participants in the group with criminal false stories, 71 percent developed a “true” false memory… The group with non-criminal false stories was not significantly different, with 77 percent of participants classified as having a false memory. The details participants provided for their false memories did not differ significantly in either quality or quantity from their true memories.”

Yanukovich-Tymoshenko-electionMapUkraine’s Government Is Losing Its War. Here Is Why – by Eric Zuesse, RINF.com – “The Ukrainian news agency RIAN headlined on January 26th, “Mobilization in Dnipropetrovsk Almost Drowned,” and reported, “In Dnipropetrovsk region [which is run by the U.S. White House’s friend, the Ukrainian-Swiss-Israeli billionaire Ihor Kolomoysky, whose longstanding personal mercenary army has, alone, more than 5,000 fighters], thousands of men are hiding from the draft. Enforcement officers recognize that accomplishing their task will be very difficult.” More than 2,000 people there who were drafted “did not show up, they evaporated.”

Kiev used barrier squads to prevent troops from retreating: E. Ukraine militia – from RT.com – “An injured Ukrainian soldier who surrendered to the militias said during questioning that ‘anti-retreat units from territorial defense battalions were used against the Ukrainian troops,’ Basurin said… According to the spokesman, 70 Ukrainian troops have surrendered to the rebels since January 9, with 11 of them capitulating in the past 24 hours… Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry decided to accelerate the graduation of students from the country’s military schools and universities in order to deploy them to the conflict zone in the Donetsk and Lugansk Regions, TASS reported… “It is done to make up for the huge combat losses of officers” in the fighting in the southeast and the mass evasion of mobilization by reserve officers of the Ukrainian army, representative parent associations of Ukrainian military schools said.”

Body_Armor_BabeFederal Bill Would Make Owning Body Armor a Crime Punishable by 10 Years in Prison – by Dan Cannon, TheDailySheeple.com – “Representative Mike Honda (D-CA) has introduced a bill for consideration of the new Congress which would prohibit the ownership of certain types of body armor for civilians… H.R. 378 would make it a crime to own Type III body armor which would be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Yeah, 10 years in prison… Of course, there are carve-outs in the bill for state/federal employees and agencies. The bill does also include a grandfather clause for people who currently own this type of armor.”

Researchers Seek to Track Mental Health Through Social Media – by Joe Wright, ActivistPost.com – “What gives this new research an even higher creep factor than simply letting a computer make judgements about our mental well being, is if we look at how this could fit into pre-crime policing that already has begun to tie into social media posts, health databases, and gun purchase records to identify those who are possibly “near the breaking point.” Combine this with the language embedded in ObamaCare that specifically states “predictive modeling” for a range of mental disorders (ever expanding in definition of course) and it is not difficult to heed the obligatory warning from these researchers: ‘…using this system means “effectively giving this app permission to observe you constantly,” but adds that the program is designed for the use of the user only and does not share data with anyone else unless otherwise designated by the user. (emphasis added)”

South Pasadena woman refuses quarantine after sister gets measles – by Jory Rand, ABC7.com – “Ylsa says she is taking immune-boosting supplements and plans on speaking with a doctor to decide whether or not she will get a measles vaccine… ‘I’m just a little upset because if there are so many cases of people that got the shot who also developed measles, then why are they attacking me specifically?’ said Ylsa. ‘I don’t think it’s necessary for me to be on house arrest.’.. The family received a form from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, and it’s a request for legal intervention. It mentions a home quarantine, with no school or work until Jan. 29… The L.A. County and Pasadena departments of health have not returned our calls for a comment.”

Tsipras-Sworn_inGreece’s new dream team vows to defy foreign creditors – by Rasha B. Foda, ShareEverything.com – “In a taste of what lies ahead, Yanis Varoufakis, the flamboyant new finance minister, said on his way to the government’s swearing-in ceremony that negotiations would not continue with the hated troika of officials representing foreign lenders… ‘They have already begun but not with the troika,’ said Varoufakis, an economist who has disseminated his anti-orthodox views through blogs and tweets almost daily since the debt crisis exploded in Athens in late 2009 – something he promised on Tuesday to continue to do. ‘The time to put up or shut up has, I have been told, arrived,’ he wrote on his blog. ‘My plan is to defy such advice.’ ”

Greek PM halts privatization, markets tumble – from PressTV.ir – “During his first meeting with cabinet members on Wednesday, Tsipras said that they could not disappoint voters already battered by a drop in living standards caused by austerity measures… “We are coming in to radically change the way that policies and administration are conducted in this country,” he told ministers… ‘Our priority is to support the economy — to help it get going again. We are ready to negotiate with our partners in order to reduce debt and find a fair and viable solution,’ Tsipras added… In series of announcements, the government signaled it would stand by its anti-austerity vows… It said that the sale of shares in the Public Power Corporation of Greece — the country’s biggest utility — and refiner Hellenic Petroleum would be put on ice… Power grid, airports, and motorway asset sales are also to be halted.”

After The “Syriza Shock”: Now Comes The Hard Choice Of Escape Or Merely Re-setting The Terms of Greece’s EU Servitude – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “Indeed, his pledge that ‘we are going to destroy the Greek oligarchy system’ should resonate throughout the length and breadth of Europe. After all, what has smothered growth, enterprise and hope in the EU is exactly the kind of crony capitalist corruption of economic life and exploitation of the state that had already wrecked the Greek economy—-even before the Trioka administered the coup de’ grace… So the Syriza Shock is an inflection point. It represents the beginning of the end of unimpeded rule by the elitist apparatchiks who dominate the central banks and the economic policy machinery of Brussels, Washington and London. Overwhelmingly, their half-baked Keynesian and statist solutions have propped up the giant banks, fueled stupendous inflation of financial assets and enabled an era of obscene gambling windfalls to the very rich which is unprecedented in modern history.”

north-american-union2Shock: CNN Editorial Calls for a North American Union – from TheDailyBell.com – “For years, more than a decade, some have suspected that powerful bureaucracies in North America – especially in Washington – might seek to combine Mexico, the US and Canada into a single super-state… This was always greeted with howls of contempt by those in the mainstream media, especially in the liberal congregation, who knew better. There was no need, no possibility, that Canada, Mexico and the US would ever form a single trading – and perhaps political – union in the manner of the EU… But here we go. Those derisive hoots are now drowned out by the reality of what this editorial proposes…All around the world, “unions” are being proclaimed, often with the potential for new currencies. Surely, those who have as their goal a kind of hyper-globalism are the real conspirators here… Conclusion: Directed history, anyone?”

Handcuffs, Leg Shackles and Tasers: The New Face of Punishment in the Public Schools – by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford.org – “Students, in turn, are not only finding themselves subjected to police tactics such as handcuffs, leg shackles, tasers and excessive force for “acting up” but are also being ticketed, fined and sent to court for behavior perceived as defiant, disruptive or disorderly such as spraying perfume and writing on a desk… Clearly, the pathology that characterizes the American police state has passed down to the schools. Now in addition to the government and its agents viewing the citizenry as suspects to be probed, poked, pinched, tasered, searched, seized, stripped and generally manhandled, all with the general blessing of the court, our children in the public schools are also fair game… What can be done?”

Vaccines cause sudden death, proves document hidden by Big Pharma for two years – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “The document deals specifically with the Infanrix Hexa vaccine (combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated poliomyelitis and haemophilus influenza type B) made by GSK, as well as the Prevenar 13 vaccine by Pfizer and several other vaccines. It explains that, contrary to the skewed data presented by GSK suggesting that dozens of sudden death cases following vaccination were not linked to Infanrix Hexa, the same data broken down by time of occurrence reveals that the vaccine was, in fact, directly linked to the deaths.”

mike_Adams3USA Today columnist calls for arrest and imprisonment of vaccine skeptics – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “Now we finally come to the real agenda of the vaccine industry. After vaccines have been repeatedly documented by the Natural News Lab to contain neurotoxic chemicals such as mercury, formaldehyde and MSG; after vaccine shots have been repeatedly shown to kill people who take them; and after flu shots have been exhaustively shown to be based on no science whatsoever — with vaccine manufacturers openly admitting there are no clinical trials to show they even work — the rabid vaccine pushers are unveiling their end game: throw vaccine resistors in prison… This is the call by USA Today columnist Alex Berezow. ‘Parents who do not vaccinate their children should go to jail,’ he writes in this USA Today column.”

ISIL Pakistani operative admits to getting funding through US – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘During investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding – routed through America – to run the organization in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,’ a source close to the investigations made the announcement… The operative also admitted to receiving $600 for each person he managed to recruit and send to war-torn Syria… ‘The US has been condemning the IS activities but unfortunately has not been able to stop funding of these organizations, which is being routed through the US,’ a source claimed, using an alternative name for ISIL.”

Radiation, chemtrails, fertilizers: Humans are crossing “planetary boundaries” and killing Earth, study says – by Julie Wilson, NaturalNews.com – “Published in the journal Science, their study called, “Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet,” identifies and defines Earth’s systemic limits, or planetary boundaries, and the changes they can withstand while still being able to support human life… About 50 percent of the processes needed to maintain Earth’s stability are being compromised by human activity, with significant life-altering changes occurring in four of the nine systems.”

Officer_Bob NYPD to Permanently Patrol Protests with Machine Guns – by Carey Wedler, ActivistPost.com – “Bratton announced their purpose is specifically: ‘…designed for dealing with events like our recent protests, or incidents like Mumbai or what just happened in Paris.’.. Lumping protesters in with terrorists, he said the permanent force will deal with ‘disorder control and counterterrorism protection capabilities.’ It will allegedly assist on crime scenes and help with ‘crowd control and other large-scale events.’ – Hmmm, “Disorder control” with extreme prejudice…

Police Label Hippy Group Whose Message Is “Peace & Love” ‘Domestic Extremists’ – Cops seek DHS grant to deal with ‘threat’ posed by The Rainbow Family – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Missoula police are seeking a quarter of a million dollar Homeland Security grant to help them spy on “extremist” organization The Rainbow Family, a loosely affiliated hippy group which stresses non-violence, peace and love… The mayor signed off this week on a proposal that if approved would net the Missoula Police Department $254,930 from the DHS to purchase a mobile command unit that would be used to spy on The Rainbow Family, which is listed as an “extremist” organization in the proposal. The unit will also be used by other first responders during emergencies and natural disasters.”

West’s agri-giants snap up Ukraine – by Frederic Mousseau, ATimes.com – “Opening up Ukraine to the cultivation of GM crops would go against the will of European citizens, and it is unclear how the change would benefit Ukrainians… It is similarly unclear how Ukrainians will benefit from this wave of foreign investment in their agriculture, and what impact these investments will have on the seven million local farmers… Once they eventually look away from the conflict in the Eastern “pro-Russian” part of the country, Ukrainians may wonder what remains of their country’s ability to control its food supply and manage the economy to their own benefit… As for US and European citizens, will they eventually awaken from the headlines and grand rhetoric about Russian aggression and human rights abuses and question their governments’ involvement in the Ukraine conflict?”

(Somewhat Paranoid) Alert: Yellowstone supervolcano on verge of eruption; USGS suppressing information – ’1000 mile swath of the U.S. may be destroyed within 2 weeks from an extinction level event’, says park geologist – by Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub.com – “As of January 29, 2015, Hank Hessler, a park geologist stationed at Yellowstone National Park since 2002, publicly announced and put only a 2 week time-frame for the supervolcano located under the park to erupt… Although no one knows for sure if Hessler’s prediction will come true, it does set an eerie overtone for people located within a 1000 mile swath of the park… Interestingly enough this information dovetails with information previously reported by Intellihub, making Hessler’s claims all that much more real. Not to mention the fact that there was more than 1,900 documented earthquakes throughout the park in 2015 alone as swarm activity continues to increase… So basically if you do the math for the disaster zone radius, the first 100-miles emanating out from ground zero would be completely wiped out. After that, ninety percent devastation would span out another 500 plus miles from ground zero, making a 1000-mile diameter ring that will essentially be fully decimated from the blast.” – This article is apparently based on the one linked here.

ZERO U.S. Measles Deaths in 10 Years, but Over 100 Measles Vaccine Deaths Reported – The U.S. Government keeps a database of reports called The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The database is available to the public, and there is a search portal the public can use at Medalerts.org… We ran a search for a ten year period for deaths due to all measles vaccines, including a few that are no longer in production. The search result contained 108 deaths over this period, resulting from four different measles vaccines sold in the United States during the past 10 years… We fully realize that those who believe in the value of vaccines will probably not be persuaded by these facts, which anyone with a computer and Internet access can verify from U.S. Government sources… Having now published a few stories on the measles issue, and having received many hundreds of comments, it has become very clear to us that those who have strong opinions on the measles vaccine are based more on fear and beliefs, than they are on facts or science. Any attempt by these vaccine proponents to force their beliefs on the rest of the U.S. public should be vigorously opposed.”

WNW175-Financial War and Shooting War Intensifying-No Real Recovery, Obama Veto – by Greg Hunter, USAWatchdog.com – “The Federal Reserve said it will remain “patient” on raising interest rates. We keep hearing about the good economy, and signs abound that the economy is not good, at least for Main Street. I just want to make my point with recent bad news on housing. According to the Commerce Department, home ownership just hit fresh 20 year lows in the last quarter of 2014. How can there be a so-called “economic recovery” when homeownership is hitting fresh lows?.. Finally, CNN is pushing for a North American Union in an opinion piece posted on CNN.com. Remember when people said this was crazy conspiracy theory talk a few years ago? I guess it’s not so crazy. The writers say we don’t need a Constitution, and to me, that means we don’t need any rights such as in the Constitutional Amendments. Simply outrageous, and CNN should be ashamed to be used as a New World Order propaganda tool.”

The Vaccinated Spreading Measles: WHO, Merck, CDC Documents Confirm – by Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo.com – “This double failure of the MMR vaccine renders highly suspicious the unsubstantiated claims that when an outbreak of measles occurs the non- or minimally vaccinated are responsible. The assumption that vaccination equals bona fide immunity has never been supported by the evidence itself. We have previously reported on a growing body of evidence that even when a vaccine is mandated, and 99% of a population receive the measles vaccines, outbreaks not only happen, but as compliance increases vaccine resistance sporadic outbreaks also increase — a clear indication of vaccine failure.”

British Police Do NOT Want You Watching Live Terror Events! Why might that be? – by Stuart J. Hooper & TheGuardian.com, 21stCenturyWire.com – “A detailed analysis of the events in Paris, including expert testimony on what was witnessed, suggests that the attacks fit the bill for what can deemed a false flag event for geopolitical purposes. It is true that without such witness testimony, coming to such a definitive conclusion would be a task much harder to achieve. Many people are now familiar with the signs and red flags that can indicate a false flag terror event, and perhaps that is why British Police do not wish you to have any evidence to do your own, independent, analysis.”

For the week of 1/19/15:

Marissa_AlexanderPrison by Any Other Name – by Maya Schenwar, TomDispatch.com – “…the incarcerated in America — an estimated 2.4 million people at any moment in ‘1,719 state prisons, 102 federal prisons, 2,259 juvenile correctional facilities, 3,283 local jails, and 79 Indian Country jails as well as in military prisons, immigration detention facilities, civil commitment centers, and prisons in the U.S. territories.’ That’s just about one of every 100 Americans, more than 60% of whom are people of color. Add in another almost five million on probation or in some way under the supervision of the criminal justice system and you’ve reached about seven million, the equivalent of the population of Serbia or Paraguay. In other words, a reasonably sized nation of prisoners… Not surprisingly, that’s also the largest prison population on Earth. No other country comes close. Put another way, on any day of your choice, the United States, with 5% of the world’s population, has close to 25% of the people imprisoned on this planet. That population, by the way, has risen by 700% since 1970, a tidal movement for incarceration that only in recent years has shown small signs of finally ebbing. In short, state by state or as a country, the U.S. leaves the rest of the world in the dust. (USA! USA!)” (emph. added)

Don’t like the PC mob? Well now that makes YOU a terror threat – by Peter Hitchens, Dailymail.co.uk – “The Bill is terrible in many other ways. And there is no reason to believe that any of these measures would have prevented any of the terrorist murders here or abroad, or will do so in future… They have been lifted out of the box marked ‘try this on the Home Secretary during a national panic’, by officials who long to turn our free society into a despotism… Once, there would have been enough wise, educated, grown-up people in both Houses of Parliament to stand up against this sort of spasm. Now most legislators go weak at the knees like simpering teenage groupies whenever anyone from the ‘Security’ or ‘Intelligence’ services demands more power and more money… So far there has been nothing but a tiny mouse-squeak of protest against this dangerous, anti-British, concrete-headed twaddle. It will go through. And in ten years’ time we’ll wonder why we’re locking people up for thinking. We’ll ask: ‘How did that happen?’ This is how it happens.”

Mike_Adams-VetArkansas government kidnaps seven children, searches home of family for owning a popular mineral supplement – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – “The Stanley family is not just into home schooling; they’re also into preparedness, natural medicine, home gardening and all the other essential life skills that the tyrannical government in America is trying to crush or outlaw… How outrageous is this raid upon the Stanley home and the state seizure of the family’s children? Let’s consider the indisputable facts of this scenario: • Miracle Mineral Solution is not contraband. It is perfectly legal mineral supplement owned and used by millions of people, many who swear by its efficacy; • There is no law in Arkansas or at the federal level which says someone cannot own MMS, yet this family is being treated as if they were heroin dealers.”

Middle East expert says Iraqi army gains against ISIL ruin US plan – from PressTV.ir – “Zayd al-Isa, a Middle East expert from London, said in an interview with Press TV that the Iraqi army gains ‘are highly substantial and significant.’… ‘It is important to mention that those gains are actually being achieved single-handedly by the Iraqi forces and the volunteer forces, which make up the backbone of the Iraqi security forces,’ he stated… Isa also said that ‘those achievements are major achievements which have rattled and shaken the fundamental plan of the Americans.’.. The expert argued that ‘the Americans have been less than enthusiastic with their airstrikes,” adding that “they actually want to maintain and contain ISIL.’ ”

POLITICAL CRITIQUE: ‘Why I Still Dislike Israel’ – ‘Netanyahu Should Leave Us Alone as a New Year’s Present‘ – by Philip Girald, 21stCenturyWire.com – “And the spying and theft of U.S. technology continues unabated. Israel has long been the most active “friendly nation” when it comes to stealing American secrets, and when its spies are caught, they are either sent home or, if they are U.S. citzens, rarely prosecuted. A little reported recent case in California revealed a new Israeli spying operation at Cal Tech’s government funded Jet Propulsion Lab. A successful attempt to steal and send to Israel U.S. high technology was characteristically ignored by both the university and Justice Department, leading to punishment of the whistleblower rather than the Israeli scientist involved.”

Arctic-melting-bearGeoengineering and the Deliberate Melting of the Arctic – Geoengineering is defined as the deliberate, large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climate systems – by Michael J. Murphy, StateOfTheNation2012.com – “While there has been recent debate about whether the Arctic ice has been melting, there is no question that it is being used to establish worldwide legislation and other corporate initiatives to address global warming. Because the technologies exist to melt the ice, and the interests of certain governments and corporations are rapidly growing in this area, the community of nations must take a much closer look at the issue… Over 500 new climate laws are scheduled to go into effect in 2015 and have been largely established by sourcing the Arctic ice melt as proof of global warming. Many of these laws are believed to be an intermediary step towards making unlawful geoengineering programs legal, thus creating a world government apparatus empowered to establish a new global taxation regime.”

Climate-Change-hoaxMore Global Warming Hot Air, As Climate Fundamentalists Continue Inflating a False Reality – by Patrick Henningsen, 21stCenturyWire.com – “A decade on, a number of experts are growing tired of how creative computer-modeled fantasies are influencing long-term policy and carbon taxation schemes. Veteran meteorologist and founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, explains: ‘There has not been any significant man-made global warming in the past, there is none now, and there is no reason to expect any in the future,’ he said. ‘The computer models that predicted the warming have failed to verify. There has been no warming in 18 years. The ice at the poles is stable. The polar bears are increasing. The oceans are not rising.’.. Think of the IPCC as a 16th century Vatican who may have believed the earth was flat, even though Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan knew it wasn’t. And just like the church of old and with other institutes of control, Gore and Mann hope to use their modern mythology of global warming in order to monetize guilt with a global regime of indulgence taxes.”

Nasa climate scientists: We said 2014 was the warmest year on record… but we’re only 38% sure we were right – by David Rose, Dailymail.co.uk – “In a press release on Friday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) claimed its analysis of world temperatures showed ‘2014 was the warmest year on record’… The claim made headlines around the world, but yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all.”

Why are so Many Healthy People Dying from the Flu After Receiving the Flu Shot? – from HealthImpactNews.com – “A review of the quarterly reports issued by the Department of Justice showing cases in which the government has paid out damages for vaccine injuries and deaths clearly shows that the majority of cases are awarded to flu vaccine victims. This information is never published in the mainstream media, but Health Impact News publishes it. You can read the most recent report from December 2014 in which the government paid out damages to 80 people who were injured or killed by the flu vaccine: Government Pays Compensation to 80 Flu Vaccine Injuries and Deaths… Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is the most common side effect and injury due to the flu vaccination. It is listed as a side effect with a warning in the flu vaccine package insert. The CDC and other sources claim that the incidence of GBS from the flu shot is about 1 or 2 per 1 million shots. Death rates from the flu are not given, but one must assume it is far lower than GBS… And yet, we have seen a rash of media reports this flu season reporting that otherwise healthy individuals who received the flu shot died from flu complications.

Hassan_NasrallahIsrael Joins Forces With ISIS? Tel Aviv Bombs Syria for Sixth Time in 18 months – by 21stCenturyWire.com – “As 21WIRE reported back in December after its previous Israeli attack in Syria, contrary to popular belief, Israel is very much involved in the destabilization of Syria, and providing direct support to ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups operating inside Syria… Under direct pressure from the US, UN Security Council members do not appear to be willing to suggest sanctions, or hold Israel responsible in any way for any its repeated attacks against its neighbors, for fear of what misfortunes and diplomatic difficulties might befall them. As a result, Israel has been acting with impunity in the region. Since 2006, Israel has conducted several air strikes on Syria.” (with chronological list of Israeli attacks inside Syria)

“Gray State” Film Family Killed, Labeled ”Murder-Suicide” – Dead for Weeks – by Amanda Warren, ActivistPost.com – “How can an entire family, including a five-year-old daughter go unnoticed for so long? All reports indicate that their bodies had been on the living room floor since before Christmas. The neighbor figures that it happened before Christmas, as packages were piling up at the Crowley home and there was no activity stemming from the home since before then. Reportedly, family and at least one colleague tried unsuccessfully to reach them before Christmas. The actual cause or time of death has not been released… Audio of the police (radio) communication is public and at around 2:35 mentions that the officers found the rear sliding door unlocked, and slightly ajar.”

Christiane_Amanpour-YemenMockingbird: US Media Sets Stage For Yemen ‘Military Intervention’ Ahead of SOTU – from 21stCenturyWire.com – “CNN led off its framing of the new Yemen narrative with what appeared to a staged, and crudely scripted exchange between its ‘Senior International War Correspondent’, Christiane Amanpour, and a female named Nadia Al-Sakkaf who is said to be Yemen’s ‘Minister of Information’ (yes, you read that title right)… Note that CNN’s senior operative Amanpour was a also used as a key player in controlling a number of past media war narratives, including Washington’s illegal wars in Iraq and Serbia… Amanpour then suddenly acted flippant, play acting in a fake exchange for the camera, raising her voice and asking, “What is the state of control in the government?’, to which Al-Sakkaf replied, ‘Almost non-existent’… ‘Can you describe what is going on! Are you telling the government is not in control!?”, to which Al-Sakkaf replied, ‘Yes’.” (emph. added)

Social Services To Family: ”Get Flu Shots Or We’re Taking Your Baby” – by Mac Slavo, ActivistPost.com – “This particular case involves a foster child, but make no mistake, the state, should they choose to do so, can utilize the same strategy against you and your biological children… In fact, the medical tyranny in America has reached astonishing levels, as evidenced by the recent case of a 17 year old who was taken from her parents when they (and she) refused chemotherapy treatment for lymphoma. What’s frightening about this is that the Connecticut Supreme Court upheld the state-sponsored kidnapping and subsequent forced medication of a minor as a Constitutional Act.” (emph. added)

In fact, the entire basis for arguing for the substantial equivalence of GMO and non-GMO foods is that glyphosate possesses negligible toxicity. The GMO biosafety debate normally revolves around whether the novel transgenes inserted into the plants produce problematic proteins or insecticidal compounds that have adverse, non-target adverse health effects on humans. If glyphosate is toxic in extremely low concentrations (as low as the parts per trillion range), then any food produced using glyphosate (and which is therefore contaminated with it, or its equally toxic metabolites, such as AMPA) will not be equivalent in safety to the non-GMO/conventional/organic food which is free of such residues.

Partners-in-CrimeARMS TO AL-QAEDA: U.S. Generals Admit Washington Has Backed Islamic Militants in Syria – by Dr. Jerome Corsi, 21stCenturyWire.com – “The Citizen’s Commission on Benghazi’s interim report, in a paragraph titled ‘Changing sides in the War on Terror,’ alleges ‘the U.S. was fully aware of and facilitating the delivery of weapons to the Al Qaeda-dominated rebel militias throughout the 2011 rebellion.’.. The report asserted the jihadist agenda of AQIM [Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb], the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and other Islamic terror groups represented among the rebel forces was well known to U.S. officials responsible for Libya policy… ‘The rebels made no secret of their Al Qaeda affiliation, openly flying and speaking in front of the black flag of Islamic jihad, according to author John Rosenthal and multiple media reports,” the interim report said. ‘And yet, the White House and senior Congressional members deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a ruler who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress Al Qaeda.’ “

The CDC called me yesterday; what they wanted to know may shock you – They wanted to know personal vaccination information about my household – by Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub.com – “In summary, the NIS is used to call households across our nation screening for immunization data and other health care information regarding children. These data are used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to: • Estimate accurate early childhood immunization coverage levels in every state and across the nation; • Assist states in developing immunization intervention programs for pre-school age children to eliminate preventable childhood diseases; and •Help local, state, and federal health authorities understand how to improve health care services for all children… If you are interested in additional information, you can visit www.cdc.gov/nis.”

John_Ashton-Im_HelpingState ‘should offer parenting lessons to every family’ – A leading doctor says every parent should be offered classes in how to bring up their child and stop rising numbers becoming obese, stressed and underachieving – by Laura Donnelly, Telegraph.co.uk – “The doctor, who represents specialists working in public health, said the current NHS crisis could not be solved without radical changes in the lifestyles of most Britons – starting at birth – to encourage healthier habits… He said he was particularly concerned about the psychological pressures on children, facing “information overload” from the internet and video games, and levels of serious distress and self-harm among teens… In an interview with The Telegraph, he called for the creation of parenting programmes and telephone helplines to help those bringing up young families and those with teens “going off the rails”. ”

How could trillions of dollars be laundered from the Wash DC regime to Saudi Arabia? Why, through Citigroup, of course – from Barnhardt.biz – “The (derivatives) position is such that it makes money when oil prices drop, thus “hedging” Saudi Arabia. If the poop hits the fan, thanks to the Cromnibus, 100% of Citibank’s derivatives portfolio is now under the umbrella of the FDIC, which we all know means the Federal Reserve printing dollars to bail out their friends. The FDIC is only sitting on a few billion in assets. It’s a joke… So, the Washington DC regime has essentially posted YOU AND SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF YOUR PROGENY as the collateral guaranteeing a short hedge on oil prices that it is providing for Saudi Arabia through its ownership of Citigroup. In other words, MONEY LAUNDERING, EXCEPT ON A MULTI-GENERATIONAL, CIVILIZATIONAL SCALE.”

Steven_Harper-GlobalistBy closing the Health Council of Canada, Stephen Harper is abandoning national medicare – by Michael McBane, TheStar.com – “The federal role is to facilitate national approaches to health system issues and promote the pan-Canadian adoption of best practices and innovation. This is the glue that holds medicare together and keeps it responsive to the evolving needs of the Canadian people. Provinces and territories cannot perform this role. The vacuum in federal leadership will fragment the health care system into 14 separate systems operating independently from each other. This fragmentation undermines the core principles of the Canada Health Act, especially comprehensive coverage and portability between provinces and territories. ”

Monsatan-over-CottonBowing to Monsanto, USDA Approves New GMO Soy and Cotton Crops – ‘This continues the disturbing trend of more herbicide-tolerant crop approvals taking place under President Obama’s watch.’ – Wenonah Hauter, Food & Water Watch – by Sarah Lazare, CommonDreams.org – “But food and environmental safety advocates warn that the corresponding increase in herbicide use is dangerous to the ecosystem. As the Center for Food Safety points out, dicamba has been linked in epidemiology studies to “increased rates of cancer in farmers and birth defects in their male offspring.” First approved in 1967, dicamba seeps through the environment, causing damage to crops and flowering plants and polluting waterways… Furthermore, herbicides give rise to resistant weeds, leading the development of new herbicides, accompanied by resistant genetically engineered crop strains. Critics charge that, rather that embark on an endless cycle of pumping chemicals and genetically modified crops into the environment, fostering a “pesticide treadmill,” regulators should take the long-term well-being of the ecosystem into account and change the status quo.”

HRW condemns use of unconventional arms by Ukraine – from PressTV.ir – ” ‘There is no evidence to that. No evidence,’ Yatsenyuk claimed in response to questions on the issue by Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine, insisting that more attention should be paid to the Republic of Crimea, which reunited with Russia in March 2014… Roth, however, told the Russian news agency that HRW had ‘published a lot of evidence that Ukraine refuses to distinguish between military targets and civilians as required by the laws and customs of war.’.. He said, ‘Yatsenyuk’s proposal to focus on Crimea instead pushes to a disturbing assumption…that all perceptions of the conflict are biased.’ ”

Donetsk shelled as Kiev ‘orders massive fire’ on militia-held E. Ukraine – from RT.com – “Reports from the ground confirmed a sharp escalation of clashes across the front line, with particularly heavy artillery fire reported at Gorlovka… ‘Locals in Donetsk said they haven’t heard such intensive shelling since summer,’ Valentin Motuzenko, a military official in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, told Interfax news agency… ‘The Ukrainian military are using all kinds of weapons, Grad multiple rocket launchers, mortars…’ Motuzenko said… A source at the site told RT that a group of OSCE monitors have demanded that the Ukrainian military stop the shelling. The source added that there is a danger that the group may itself come under artillery fire.”

Dieudonne-CoulibalyCharlie Hebdo: A Convoluted World – by Dr. Elias Akleh, Intifada-Palestine.com – “French are so hypocrite or maybe so delusional. They claim they defend free speech when some of their laws and their government’s policies are against free speech. Any criticism of Jews and Israel, even if substantiated by proven facts and solid science, is considered hate speech and anti-Semitism, (Jews are not the only Semitic people), and is punishable by French law. Any critical historical study of the Holocaust (a historical event) that cast suspicion on, or question the validity of its narrative is considered a crime punishable by French law with imprisonment and fines. Let us not forget that France is the ONLY country that banned pro-Palestine demonstrations… …the French comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala, who posted on his Facebook “I feel like Charlie Coulibaly” was investigated by Paris prosecutor’s office on January 12th, and was arrested on Wednesday January 14th for exercising his own freedom of speech. In the past the French government has banned his shows considering them anti-Semitic. What a convoluted country!”

Welcome to the Oligarch Recovery – Majority of Public School Students are in Poverty for First Time in 50 Years – by Michael Krieger, LibertyBlitzkrieg.com – “It’s a recovery so lopsided only Timothy Geithner or an oligarch could love it. Since 2008, U.S. economic policy has concentrated on funneling as much money as possible to billionaires, keeping the poor alive and submissive through government programs, and squeezing the middle class to death while at the same time holding out the carrot of hope that things will return to how they were before (they won’t)… The latest evidence of this monumental cultural theft was highlighted yesterday in the Washington Post. Here are a few excerpts: ‘For the first time in at least 50 years, a majority of U.S. public school students come from low-income families, according to a new analysis of 2013 federal data, a statistic that has profound implications for the nation.’ ”

Austen_HeinzThe Bizarre Future of Genetic Engineering for the Masses – by Joshua Krause, TheDailySheeple.com – “It seems they have plenty of lofty ideas for their machine, like bringing back the dinosaurs, creating artificial life, or preventing birth defects. But not once do they stop to consider the obvious consequences of this genetic tinkering. We’re talking about the building blocks of life here, the stuff that is at the root of every living creature on earth. And yet they think they can hand off the keys to creation to any jackass who can afford their machine, without ever stopping to consider whether or not this is a good idea… This machine means that anyone with a wad of cash and a major in genetics could make all kinds of genetic horrors, like splicing different plants and animals or creating new viruses. And that just accounts for what people might do deliberately. We also have to consider the potential for mistakes to be made on a wide scale. In short, this device could change the future of life on this planet, and they treat it with all the levity you would find in an internet startup.

The Details of How Obama is Selling America to Corporations – by Susanne Posel, OccupyCorporatism.com – “The Obama administration has announced a plan to build “a 21st-century infrastructure” that is run by private sector corporations because of their ability to finance these projects… According to a “fact sheet” published by the White House, the president ‘is announcing new steps that federal agencies are taking to bring private sector capital and expertise to bear on improving our nation’s roads, bridges, and broadband networks.’.. This necessitates ‘a new set of infrastructure tax proposals that will level the playing field for projects that combine public and private investment so that local and state governments can more easily work with the private sector to advance the public interest.’.. In essence, the Obama administration is pushing ‘the importance of these critical investments’ (i.e. a partnership between corporations and government) to ensure employment, facilitate job creation, assist entrepreneurs and boost the US economy.” – The bottom line is that all of these infrastructure assets will be paid for through government money repayable by “the citizens” (i.e. your grandchildren) but controlled and profited from entirely by private corporate hierarchies.

Mr_Bill-Oh_No Bill Gates Pushes Cashless Society – Scheme would allow government to confiscate money at will – by Kit Daniels, PrisonPlanet.com – “Gates outlined his plan for a cashless society in a letter published Thursday in which he proposed the poor have better access to mobile phones so they can store their financial assets digitally instead of keeping hard currency at home… ‘The key to this will be mobile phones,’ he wrote. ‘Already, in the developing countries with the right regulatory framework, people are storing money digitally on their phones and using their phones to make purchases, as if they were debit cards.’.. ‘By 2030, two billion people who don’t have a bank account today will be storing money and making payment with their phones.’.. But this will only enslave the poor into an electronic monetary system they don’t control, allowing central banks and the government unparalleled ability to confiscate money at will through taxes and ‘bail-ins.’ ”

600 strains of an aerosolized thought control vaccine already tested on humans; deployed via air, food and water – by Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com – (from THIS PDF): “… a blood sample of militant casualties or deceased civilian would provide the most accurate estimate of the rate of vaccination… biological samples from living subjects may be covertly taken… the tests that should be repeated using the VSV287 are high atmospheric tests… An airborne virus would be the preferred route of infection. A strain named VSV287 has been designed to spread via air… Only human trials can determine VSV287’s effect on religiosity and spirituality… high atmospheric dispersal or dispersal by a ground level moving object appears to be the most practical.

Reaper_Drone‘We didn’t even really know who we were firing at’ – former US drone operator – from RT.com – “Bryant, who worked as a sensor operator, manning drones’ cameras and other intelligence gathering hardware, worked from an airbase in Nevada. The operator who left his post in 2011 spoke harshly of the program and the leadership responsible for approving it… ‘There was no oversight. I just know that the inside of the entire program was diseased and people need to know what happens to those that were on the inside,’ he told RT’s Anissa Naouai. ‘People need to know the lack of oversight, the lack of accountability that happen.’.. Bryant decried the ‘black hole putrid system that is either going to crush you or you’re going to conform to it,’ and apologized to families of victims whose deaths he was responsible for. By his estimation, he helped kill some 1626 people. ‘I couldn’t stand myself for doing it’ he added.”false flags and the staged nature of ISIS.”

The US Military Is Building Gangs of Autonomous Flying War Bots – by Patrick Tucker, DefenseOne.com – “Despite that, Scharre says the benefits of greater autonomy far outweigh the risks… ‘By embracing uninhabited and autonomous systems, the United States can disperse its combat capabilities, increasing resiliency, and expand its offensive striking capacity, all within realistic budget constraints,’ he writes… Increasing drones’ ability to “collaborate… find, track, identify and engage targets,” will surely ring alarm bells among those seeking to ban killer robots. But that’s unlikely to curb the military’s interest, for a variety of reasons.”

Truth Revealed: McCain’s ‘Moderate Rebels’ in Syria ARE ISIS – by Patrick Henningsen, 21stCenturyWire.com – “On Tuesday during his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama touted great strides in “halting the advance of ISIS” with US-led airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Today, US Ambassador Stuart Jones announced that “Coalition Airstrikes” (US airstrikes) have killed 6,000 ISIS fighters. How the US is able to conjure up such incredible Jack and the Beanstalk-style numbers (all but impossible to verify) is beyond anyone outside of Washington. You just have to take his word for it. Just like we just had to take US Ambassador to the Ukraine’s word for it – when Geoffrey Pyatt Tweeted a few random Digital Globe images claiming that the Russians invaded Ukraine, again. After six or so ‘Russian Invasion’ false starts, we’re still waiting for evidence beyond Twitter.”

Vindicated: Gladio B, Paris Terror & ISIS Fakery Admitted (with videos) – by Jay Dyer, ActivistPost.com – “On top of all this, the new boogeyman of rebranded Al Qaeda known as ISIS has been openly admitted today to be a scam from high level CIA and General Kevin Bergner. Readers may recall my February 2013 article where I cited Bruce Riedel lecturing the Brookings Institution on false flags, as apparently the corporate head audience had never heard of this idea. This demonstrates Riedel is not a nobody, but a veteran of the deep state who openly discusses

from the Oldies-But-Goodies Desk: Turkish False Flags and the Invasion That Almost Was (June 2014) – by David Boyajian, ForeignPolicyJournal.com – “Yes, because current Turkish, American, and NATO policies in the Caucasus strongly echo the 1993 Khasbulatov-Turkish plot. For two decades, the West has been trying to penetrate and dominate the Caucasus – Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia –and eventually cross the Caspian Sea into energy-rich Central Asia… One piece of the plan has already been partially implemented: constructing oil and gas pipelines from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey… NATO’s remaining goal: absorb the entire Caucasus. NATO would thereby threaten Russia from the south, just as it now pressures Russia from the west with its absorption of much of Eastern Europe (and, NATO hopes, Ukraine).”

GMO-CowGenetically Modified Cattle With Human DNA Might Hold Ebola Cure – by Maggie Fox, NBCNews.com – “Researchers hope the cattle – which certainly don’t look like anything special – will produce gallons of blood plasma that could be used to treat people with the deadly virus, which has infected more than 21,000 people in West Africa and killed 8,500 of them… ‘These animals produce very high levels of human antibody,’ said Eddie Sullivan, president and CEO of SAb Biotherapeutics, the company that developed the cattle… The cattle have been genetically engineered with human DNA so that their bodies don’t produce cattle antibodies but human antibodies. They’re cloned to make a herd of genetically identical, part-human animals… Then they are vaccinated against various deadly diseases such as Ebola. Their bodies produce antibodies in response to these vaccines, and the hope is these antibodies can be used to treat people with the diseases.”

Dead bodies in NATO uniforms, US weapons recovered from under debris of Donetsk airport – from Itar-Tass.com – ‘While examining the building of the Donetsk airport, we found a great number of American firearms, assault rifles and hand mortars, equipment and communications devices,’ he said. ‘We also found publications in European languages, including on religious matters.’.. Apart from that, ‘we found dead bodies in NATO uniforms under the debris in the new terminal. Personal belongings indicated that these people were foreign citizens contracted by private military companies who operated under the disguise of Ukrainian subversive groups,’ he said.”

House-RadarNew police radars can ‘see’ inside homes – by Brad Heath, IndyStar.com – “At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside… Agents’ use of the radars was largely unknown until December, when a federal appeals court in Denver said officers had used one before they entered a house to arrest a man wanted for violating his parole. The judges expressed alarm that agents had used the new technology without a search warrant, warning that ‘the government’s warrantless use of such a powerful tool to search inside homes poses grave Fourth Amendment questions.’.. Other radar devices have far more advanced capabilities, including three-dimensional displays of where people are located inside a building, according to marketing materials from their manufacturers. One is capable of being mounted on a drone. And the Justice Department has funded research to develop systems that can map the interiors of buildings and locate the people within them.”

New Facebook feature flags fake news – by Heather Kelly, Money.CNN.com – “Facebook wants to crack down on the scourge of fake news stories that go viral on the social network… Facebook (FB, Tech30) hasn’t hired a team of dedicated fact checkers to read every article. Instead, it’s outsourcing the task to community members with a new feature that lets anyone report news in their feed as a “false news story.” The more frequently a particular news story is reported, the less it will appear in anyone’s feed on Facebook… The offending links, photos, videos and status updates won’t be removed, just gradually hidden a little more frequently from view. However, if a story gets a large number of flags, it will be marked with a warning message that says, ‘Many people on Facebook have reported that this story contains false information.’.. Putting power in the hands of the people has the potential to backfire. Facebook users could band together and report true stories that they disagree with as false.”

Terrible new Pennsylvania law muzzles speech, threatens press freedom – by Radley Balko (and Christopher Moraff of the Daily Beast), WashingtonPost.com – “Never mind that the Supreme Court has ruled on numerous occasions that the mere incitement of emotional distress is insufficient grounds for quashing protected speech – the Silencing Act goes even further. It violates constitutional prohibitions against prior restraint by censoring speech that has yet to be uttered based solely on the criminal histories of those planning to utter it… Adding insult to injury, the law makes no effort to define exactly what type of speech would qualify for an embargo, leaving that rather critical detail up to the discretion of individual judges.”

Glyphosate-ban_GMOsDeath by Multiple Poisoning, Glyphosate and Roundup – Scientists pinpoint how very low concentrations of the herbicide and other chemicals in Roundup formulations kill human cells, strengthening the case for phasing them out, and banning all further releases of Roundup-tolerant GM crops – by Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Brett Cherry, I-SIS.org.uk – “Four different Roundup formulations of the herbicide glyphyosate manufactured by Monsanto are highly toxic to human cells, and at concentrations far below the recommended agricultural use levels. Researchers at the Institute of Biology in Caen , France published their latest results in the current issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology… Three human cell lines were tested: primary cell line HUVEC from umbilical cord vein epithelium, embryonic cell line 293 derived from kidney, and placenta cell line JEG3. All cells died within 24 hours of exposure to the Roundup formulations.”

Thousands Demonstrate as Martelly Installs De Facto Prime Minister Evans Paul – by Thomas Péralte, Haiti-Liberte.com – “Now finally the crisis has led to the formation of a de facto government, led by a new and thoroughly illegal prime minister, perennial opportunist politician Evans Paul, known as Konpè Plim or K-Plim… Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, who resigned in the face of popular protests on Dec. 13, is suspected by many of having embezzled or stolen millions of dollars while in power. However, there has been no accounting done of his regime’s management. The people demand accountability, and if necessary, the arrest of Lamothe… Martelly’s unilateral choice of Paul to be PM is an affront.”

Israeli forces launch major detention campaign in Nablus camps – from AlethoNews.com – “Israeli forces launched a major detention campaign in the northern West Bank refugee camps of Balata and Askar in Nablus district overnight, Palestinian security sources said… More than 15 young men were seized after forces ransacked many houses… Palestinian security sources told Ma’an that more than 20 Israeli military jeeps stormed Balata and Askar refugee camps near Nablus at midnight and broke into dozens of houses… An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was looking into the reports.”

Dees-agenda21-Reaper VICTORY: Citizens Stand up to Agenda 21 in Alaska – by Dan Johnson, ActivistPost.com – “So when the Borough of Kodiak, AK (Pop. 13,600) chose to attempt to entirely revamp the zoning code and place greater restrictions on property owners, including a $1,000 fine per violation, they expected there to be little opposition, and little knowledge of the change… Instead, the Solutions Institute assisted local resident Jamie Fagan, and he along with a team of people rallied over 300 residents to attend the meeting… Even though many residents could not attend due to flooded roads and driving rain, there were over 69 speeches, nearly all in opposition to the new code, totaling over 4 hours of testimony against it.”

Hungry Venezuelans sleep in endless grocery lines as food shortage crisis worsens – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “So bad, now, is the economy that the government has deployed the military — the military — to ensure that anxious, hungry and needy citizens don’t over-indulge at stores (when they actually have merchandise and food, which is increasingly rare)… As reported by Bloomberg News recently, shoppers mobbed grocery stores in the capital of Caracas amid ongoing, worsening food and commodities shortages, leading the government to place food distribution under military control… Bloomberg News further reported on conditions in the capital city: Long lines, some stretching for blocks, formed outside grocery stores in the South American country’s capital as residents search for scarce basic items such as detergent and chicken… ‘At this point I’ll buy whatever I can.’ ”

Keonte_CookProminence of Foster Kids Drugged With Antipsychotics Shows Up In Unlikely Place – by Heather Callaghan, NaturalBlaze.com – “Here’s what he said in an NPR report about it: Ke’onte Cook, a 12-year-old from Texas who testified at the Senate hearing, was on up to five drugs at a time while in foster care, including for bipolar disorder. The drugs made him irritable and exhausted, he said, caused a loss of appetite and “put me in a lights-out mode 15 minutes after I’d taken them.” Cook was adopted two years ago, and is now off all of the medications he was on while in foster care… ‘I think putting me on all of these stupid meds was the most idiotic thing I experienced in foster care, and the worst thing someone could do to foster kids,’ Cook said. ‘I was upset about my situation, not bipolar or ADHD.’ ”

Smartphones will begin categorizing users’ mental health; gun seizures will follow – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – ” ‘Health insurer Aetna Inc., for instance, says it uses voice-analysis software on some telephone calls to get people who receive short-term disability benefits back to work sooner,’ WSJ reports… Still, many hospitals and doctors are skittish about trusting the apps – especially when it comes to the use of data which they will collect… ‘I wonder how companies are going to reassure people that when they download an app that can track everything they’re doing, the data will never be used against them,’ Dr. Timothy G. Ferris, an internist and senior vice president of population health management at Partners HealthCare — Massachusetts’ largest healthcare provider… Others are concerned that such technologies may be employed by health providers and even police, eventually, to deprive people of their firearms. In many states, those diagnosed with mental health issues are not permitted to own guns, but if the diagnosis is incorrect, then some could be unduly punished.”

Kathy_KellyMy Future in Prison – ‘I will be free in three months, but our collective future is most assuredly shackled to a wrongheaded criminal justice system.’ – by Kathy Kelly, CommonDreams.org – “In December, 2014, Judge Matt Whitworth sentenced me to three months in federal prison after Georgia Walker and I had attempted to deliver a loaf of bread and a letter to the commander of Whiteman Air Force base, asking him to stop his troops from piloting lethal drone flights over Afghanistan from within the base. Judge Whitworth allowed me over a month to surrender myself to prison; but whether you are a soldier or a civilian, a target or an unlucky bystander, you can’t surrender to a drone… When I was imprisoned at Lexington prison in 1988, after a federal magistrate in Missouri sentenced me to one year in prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites, other women prisoners playfully nicknamed me “Missiles.” One of my sisters reliably made me laugh today, texting me to ask if I thought the women this time they would call me “Drones.”

CDC’s Own Data: Vaccine-Infant Death Link – by Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo.com – “Considering the influence of underreporting, these deaths represent only the tip of the iceberg of vaccine-induced infant morbidity and mortality caused by HiB vaccines. The study also mentioned an earlier analysis which found that infant death is the most common cause of death reported by all vaccine linked reports on VAERS, ‘accounting for almost one-half of all deaths reported.’.. Obviously, this is an appalling study. The death of even 1 child for a potentially ineffective medical intervention designed to prevent a rarely fatal illness is a tragedy. Nor can any single vaccine be proven to have prevented any single case of disease because the clinical outcome (end point) is a non-event. This is not the case, however, for vaccine side effects which can be linked directly to the vaccination event with plausible scientific mechanisms… What is perhaps most astounding is the researcher’s conclusion: ‘Review of VAERS reports did not identify any new or unexpected safety concerns for Hib vaccines.’ ”

There’s A Plan Floating Around Davos To Spend $90 Trillion Redesigning All The Cities So They Don’t Need Cars – by Jim Edwards, Chron.com – “The $90 trillion cities proposal came from former vice president Al Gore and former president of Mexico Felipe Calderon, and their colleagues on the The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. That group hopes to persuade the world’s leaders to do something about humanity’s suicidal effort to heat the Earth’s climate… Part of fighting climate change will mean redesigning, or building anew, towns and cities without cars, Calderon says… ‘We cannot have these cities with low density, designed for the use of cars,” he said. “We recommend those cities should have more density and more mass transportation.’ Together with a programme for reforming land use, and bringing deforestation to zero, the total cost of this plan would likely be $90 trillion…”

Chem-Nothing-to-seeIs Your Eye/Brain Switch Off Or On? – by Joe Scanlan, VaccinationInformationNetwork.com – “Talking with some people about what’s right there in front of their eyes, and is obviously not normal, you find that suddenly, instantaneously, you are talking to an empty shell. It’s as if there is a triggering safety device that goes to overload when there is a power surge of unpalatable information. The ‘ghost in the machine’ suddenly vacates the premises when the knock-off switch is activated… For anyone reading this, if you have lost concentration by now then your switch has already triggered into the OFF position. Thank you and goodbye. For anyone whose attention is still here thank you also… Chemtrails – Everybody sees them but nobody sees them.”

Game changer: Russia prepares to develop Gaza gas – by Rasha B. Foda, ShareEverything.com – “It is important to note that according to economic estimations, the reserve of Marine Gaza can hold up to 30 billion cubic meters of gas, noting that its development will need three to four years and will cost around a billion dollars. The revenues of this field are estimated at $6 to $7 billion a year, throughout many years. A part of the said revenues will be given to the Palestinian Authority in the form of taxes and fees. This is supposed to render the authority independent from donor countries… Abbas announced in Moscow that he is dealing with Russia as a major power, which has to play a key role in the Middle East. He added, ‘We are happy to see that Russia is an active and influential power on the international arena.’ Abbas old Itar-Tass, ‘We would like to see Russia playing a leading role in the Middle East, since it is a major power.’ ”

Bucky-No_WorkIllinois Schools Demand Students Hand Over Social Media Passwords – by Zaid Jilani, Alternet.org – “The policy went into effect this month, and one school district, the Triad Community Unit School District #2, already sent out letters to parents informing them of the new policy. “It’s one thing for me to take my child’s social media account and open it up, or for the teacher to look or even a child to pull up their social media account, but to have to hand over your password and personal information is not acceptable to me,” said Sarah Bozarth, one of the parents in the district.”

Russia Passes Even Tighter Restrictions on GMO Imports – Will GMOs Soon be Completely Banned There? – by Christina Sarich, NaturalSociety.com – “The Russian government’s Commission on Legislative Activities approved a bill introduced by both the Ministry of Science and Education and supported by the Russian Minister of Agriculture Nikolai Fyodorov that would ban the cultivation and breeding of genetically modified organisms in Russia. That is, except when used for scientific research (likely to prove its dangers) as well as to limit imports of biotech’s products.”

Israel crossing all boundaries: Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom – from PressTV.ir – “Speaking to Dagens Nyheter, a popular Swedish daily, the minister said the overall reaction of Israel to Sweden’s recognition of the State of Palestine had been expected, but that Tel Aviv’s latest comments were unacceptable… ‘They have a rhetoric that crosses all lines,’ she said… Her remarks came after Emmanuel Nahshon, the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, said on January 15 that the Swedish foreign minister would have been rejected by the regime’s officials if she had traveled to the occupied territories… According to Israeli media reports, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has refused to meet with his Swedish counterpart.”

A Key Day In The Ukrainian Conflict? – by Alexander Mercouris, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Now it may be that all these discussions and conversations and comments are uncoordinated and do not in total amount to anything. Perhaps there has been no change in Russian policy. However they do look like a hardening of position and perhaps give clues that the Russians have at least for the moment given up hope of the diplomatic approach. They also suggest a preparation for a battening down of the hatches in case another round of sanctions is on the way… From the Financial Times: ‘One of Russia’s top bankers on Friday warned that excluding the country from the Swift banking payment system would be tantamount to “war”… The suggestion that Russia could be shut out of Swift triggered widespread alarm in Moscow’s financial community when it was floated by western politicians last summer. Russia’s banks rely heavily on the Belgium-based payments system for both domestic and international payments. However, the move was at the time considered too punitive a sanction, being described by one adviser as “the nuclear option”.’ ”

US ‘Democracy Promotion’ In Ukraine Is About Dominating ‘Greater Middle East’ – by Nafeez Ahmed, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Asmus’ long-term vision, which appears to reflect the longstanding thinking of the State Department – the final objective of regime-change in Russia: ‘While working in the State Department in the 1990s, I would often tell my staff that we should think about policy in terms of a 10, 25 and 50 year plan. It reflected my view that the West would be considered to have failed if we could not anchor and integrate Central and Eastern Europe within a decade of their liberation from communism. The 25 year plan was a reference to the longer-term task of integrating Ukraine and the half century mark was for Russia.’.. Asmus’ ensuing recommendations for action fell just short of a call to arms: ‘… we have to fight and win the intellectual and political battle for a new definition of a wider Europe that includes Ukraine. And Ukraine will have to help us win that battle through its actions and performance. In my view, this wider vision should also include Turkey and have a place for the southern Caucuses as well.’ ”

How the UN Is Confiscating American Homes and Controlling All Food and Energy – by Dave Hodges, TheCommonSenseShow.com – “Many unaware Americans still mistakenly believe that they have dominion over their lives and personal choices. These same people mistakenly believe that the government does not care if you want to live independently of their corporate cronies who own the utilities. They want you in their system so they can continue to exploit your resources for their benefit. Take the case of Robin Speronis who tried opting for renewable non-grid tied power and utilize environmentally friendly composting toilets and his own self-sufficient water supply. If one commits these acts in Florida, that person could go to jail.”

Media report: Rothschild family took over Charlie Hebdo in December – by RobinWestenra.blogspot.co.uk – ” ‘There were some serious objections to the takeover frommy uncle Baron Edouard de Rothschild. Some relatives wanted to block the purchase because that would make us a political force in the media . We want to void this at all costs. We have nothing to do with politics.

Big Pharma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The Deadly Toll that Permanent War Takes on US Soldiers, Awaits the Rest of Us – by Joachim Hagopian, GlobalResearch.ca – “At one point when my machine gunner father couldn’t bear committing any more of his racist nation’s sins, after defiantly throwing his .50 caliber bullet belt to the deck and retreating down below deck to his bunk, his submarine captain charged after him with his revolver drawn ready to murder my father until several of my father’s shipmates talked the raging Medal of Honor winning skipper out of it. For the next seven decades my father agonized over the haunting images of gunning down little children and their mothers laying lifeless in their slowly sinking boats, turning the Pacific blue red with white man’s inhumanity toward yellow race people. But this is what the last “justified,” red, white and blue American war did to my father’s fragile human psyche.”

Child-in-cuffsUK Now Being Overrun by Two-Year Old “Criminals” – by Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton, TruthStreamMedia.com – “(from the Dailymail): ‘At present, the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10, which means there is nothing police can do… Crime victims who are affected by serious crimes committed by the under 10’s are often left devastated by the fact that they will not be part of the Criminal Justice System and are often left with no knowledge of how the offender is being managed following serious crimes.’.. WTF?! How can society have really reached this point? Why are adults in the comments demanding new laws to deal with toddler crime? Where are the parents, and what happened to handling bad behavior with a time out rather than a police visit, anyway?”

Iraqi Hezbollah: Unidentified Planes Supplying ISIL with Arms from Saudi Arabia – from UprootedPalestinians.blogspot.co.uk – “Hussein al-Ramahi, the head of the political commission of Hezbollah brigades in Iraq, disclosed that his forces have discovered Saudi supplied arms and ammunition in areas taken back from ISIL control, adding that the arms aids have been dropped down for the Takfiri terrorists by unidentified planes… “The Iraqi security and popular forces have discovered Saudi-supplied weapons in regions liberated from ISIL control,” Ramahi told FNA on Saturday… He reiterated that unknown airplanes had supplied the ISIL with the weapons in coordination with the US… ‘We have discovered boxes containing weapons and equipment with Saudi names and labels on them …’ he added… Earlier this week, a senior Iraqi legislator lashed out at the western countries and their regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, complaining that the coalition is the main cause of ISIL’s survival in Iraq… ‘The international coalition is only an excuse for protecting the ISIL and helping the terrorist groups with equipment and weapons,’ Jome Divan, who is member of the al-Sadr bloc in the Iraqi parliament, said.”

He said Israel was annoyed with the lower house of French parliament for voting for the recognition of a Palestinian state and with France’s vote in favor of a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for the same recognition… ‘Israel certainly doesn’t want this sentiment to expand in Europe. That’s why it is certain that Mossad is behind these kinds of incidents. Mossad enflames Islamophobia by causing such incidents,’ Gökçek said.”

Mandatory chickenpox vaccination increases disease rates, study shows – by Jennifer Lilley, NaturalNews.com – “What spurred the researchers to engage in their studies in the first place was the fact that, despite the amount of people receiving chickenpox vaccinations, the rate of the illness in the nation hasn’t diminished. Instead, it’s increased. The question then becomes a matter of why something designed to keep an illness at bay is actually boosting its activity, creating the opposite of the desired (and often applauded) effect… For example, the researchers note that, in 2005, varicella (chickenpox) vaccination was mandated in South Korea for infants between the ages of 12 and 15 months. Although there was 97 percent uptake by 2011, no decreases in the illness were found nationwide. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has reported an increase of varicella patients; in 2006, there were 22.6 cases per 100,000, while in 2011, that number more than tripled to 71.6 cases per 100,000.”

Soros-Poster_ChildUkraine’s Creditors Grab for the Biggest Pieces of Its Carcass – by Eric Zuesse, WashingtonsBlog.com – “In December 2013 — just before the overthrow of the Russia-friendly Ukrainian Government of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, by Soros’s American President and major political-campaign investment, Barack Obama — Russia lent Ukraine $3 billion with a contract saying that if Ukraine’s debt would rise above 60% of Ukraine’s GDP, then Russia would be able to demand immediate repayment, and Ukraine agreed to the contract’s condition that Ukraine wouldn’t pay a cent to any other creditor before the entire due-balance on this $3 billion loan is returned to Russia… Then, on 4 February 2014, Victoria Nuland of Obama’s State Department selected Ukrainian banker Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the person to take control over Ukraine as soon as Obama’s Ukrainian coup would occur, which turned out to be 18 days later, on February 22nd… Soros’s and Obama’s plan was to privatize as much of the Ukrainian Government as possible in a fire-sale of its assets,…”

Spy agency planning false-flag terror acts in crowded areas (in Turkey), whistleblower claims – from TodaysZaman.com – “Avni claims to be in the Erdoğan’s inner circle. A recent article in Foreign Policy magazine said Avni ‘has proved to have startlingly accurate knowledge of events before they happen’ and he has ‘captivated the country with his mostly reliable predictions of events.’.. Noting that Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen has displayed a staunch opposition to radical groups committing terrorism, Avni said ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) spokesman and party ideologue Beşir Atalay and MİT chief Hakan Fidan ‘planned terror acts similar to those in France,’ and will frame the Gülen movement after they blow up crowded areas.

Bryant_Park-1-8-15Record-breaking cold closes U.S. schools, sends penguins inside – by Barbara Goldberg, Reuters.com – “Snow expected to accumulate to 3 feet (1 meter) deep was falling in upstate New York near Watertown, and snow already blanketing South Dakota was whipped by winds into a “ground blizzard” that made driving treacherous, said meteorologist Dan Petersen of the National Weather Service… The coldest place in the country on Thursday was Estcourt Station, the northernmost point in Maine, with temperatures of minus 38 degrees F (minus 39 C), he said… Records were broken from Montpelier, Vermont, at minus 20 F (minus 29 C), to Jackson, Kentucky, with minus 1 F (minus 18 C), he said. Snow flurries were reported as far south as Jacksonville, Florida.

The Deep State Strategy: Burn Everyone Else’s Oil First, Leave Ours in the Ground – by Charles Hugh Smith, WashingtonsBlog.com – “Since cheap oil will eventually become scarce for all the reasons listed here and elsewhere many times–depletion of easy-to-pump reserves, geopolitical instability, rising domestic consumption in oil-exporting nations and a contraction in capital available to replace declining production–it makes excellent sense to consume all the oil anyone is willing to sell for $40-$50/barrel and retain one’s own reserves for the time when $100/barrel has become “cheap.”.. If we follow this logic, then we conclude that the U.S. Deep State is in favor of Saudi Arabia’s strategy of forcing production cuts (and the resulting collapse of income) on its rivals and marginal producers…”

Cassandra_CallenderMedical Tyranny: Supreme Court Just Ruled the Government Can Force a 17-Year-Old to Take Chemotherapy – by Melissa Melton, TruthstreamMedia.com – “This particular story centers around 17-year-old Cassandra Callender who, after being diagnosed with cancer in September and taking two treatments, ran away from home for a week in November because she did not want to take anymore. Cassandra has said that she feels chemotherapy is a poison and, that the girl, “believes chemotherapy would cause significant long-term bodily harm, like organ damage and infertility,” reported Vox. When she returned home, Cassandra refused to take anymore chemo and her mother stood by her daughter’s decision… When the mother stood by her daughter’s decision and they refused to take any further treatment, the hospital reported Cassandra’s mom Jackie to the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) who took Cassandra away and ordered the family to comply with the treatment.”

The Achilles Heel of the Global Status Quo: DeflationRather than being the Monster Under the Bed in central bank nightmares, deflation is the natural result of a competitive economy experiencing productivity gains – by Charles Hugh Smith, WashingtonsBlog.com – “Is deflation the nightmare scenario for central banks, debtors, central states, monopolies and cartels? Yes. That all these entities share the same interests–anti-competitive monopolies, governments, debtors and central banks–should give us pause… Which is more powerful in the long-term–central banks’ inflationary policies, or technology, innovation and competition? The central banks (and their legions of media lackeys) claim omnipotence over every force in the Universe, but unintended consequences of central bank distortions, technology, innovation and competition look like the better long-term bet to me.”

Bibi-BeginConstant Conflict: Fundamentalist Zionism and the Roots of Modern Terrorism – by 21stCenturyWire.com and Anthony Bellchambers, GlobalResearch.ca – “In the early days of Israel, systematic violence and terror was prevalent as newly arriving Europeans clashed with indigenous Arabs. The catastrophic results of this unlikely encounter has permanently mired the region in a state of eternal conflict… Few are aware about the actual roots of modern terrorism – pioneered and perfectly choreographed to attract maximum international attention and intimidation – by fundamentalist Zionist Jews – members of Menachem Begin‘s right-wing terrorist organization known as Irgun… Their targets: British colonial citizens, assets and businesses in Palestine, and the native Palestinian population itself.”

Turkish President Says the Unsayable: ‘West is Behind Charlie Hebdo False Flag Attacks’ – This is a very worrying development. Not because of what Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, but because it signals that the ‘gloves are off’ now. – by 21stCenturyWire.com and Sara Malm, Dailymail.co.uk – “Erdogan said Muslims are ‘paying the price’ for the attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish kosher supermarket in Paris last week… ‘French citizens carry out such a massacre, and Muslims pay the price,’ Erdogan said yesterday… ‘That’s very meaningful … Doesn’t their intelligence organisation track those who leave prison?.. ‘Games are being played with the Islamic world, we need to be aware of this… ‘The West’s hypocrisy is obvious.

Sergey_Lavrov-2-captLavrov Says West Forgot About MH17 Boeing Crash Investigation – from SputnikNews.com – ” ‘The West announced sectoral sanctions [against Russia] over the Malaysian Boeing catastrophe, but now our Western colleagues have completely forgotten about this problem and only Russia is trying to remind [them] that it wouldn’t be bad if they at least announced the preliminary results of the investigation and explain why the investigation is being conducted with gross breaches in norms that are accepted in such occasions by the International Civilian Aviation Orgnization,’ Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs… (on another subject) ,The Islamic State is a structure that demands more attention and needs to be opposed more seriously. Its emissaries are not just appearing in Syria and Iraq where there is a so-called caliphate, but also in Libya and already in Afghanistan, which is just a hop away from Central Asia. And it’s from there that these people collaborate with those who are conducting terrorist acts in Europe,’ (Lavrov also) said.”

Pleasant_Ridge_ElementaryIndiana town moves to seize over 350 homes to make room for private developer – “We’re not transients. We’re real people…. My house is not for sale.” – The City of Charlestown intends to demolish the community in order to allow new commercial and residential real estate to be built in its place — privately-owned real estate. The city declared its intentions in June 2014, when it applied to the state for permission to use eminent domain and for $5.3 million in “Hardest Hit Funds,” a federal grant program administered through Indiana’s Blight Elimination Program (BEP). The land grab might not have been economically feasible if not for being directly subsidized and incentivized by the federal government.”

Economist: World Leaders Will Exploit Charlie Hebdo to Eliminate Encryption – ‘They will use this to strip us of all rights’ – by Paul Joseph Watson, PrisonPlanet.com – “Despite world leaders marching in defense of freedom in Paris just a day after the terrorists were killed, French President Francois Hollande’s initial response was to put 10,000 troops on the streets. There has also been discussion of tighter surveillance laws and a French-style ‘Patriot Act’, despite the fact that stringent surveillance measures already in place failed to stop the attacks… As the Guardian’s Trevor Timm writes, the attacks were quickly seized upon by western governments to put a halt to NSA reforms, while Prime Minister Cameron called for the state to be given more powers to intercept Internet communications in the name of fighting terror… During a speech yesterday, Cameron stated that there should be no ‘means of communication’ which ‘we cannot read,’ preparing the groundwork for back-doors to be introduced into software that would allow continuous government monitoring.

Bailey-CombsMistrial Allows South Carolina Police Chief to Get Murder Charge Dropped – by Amanda Warren, ActivistPost.com – “Bernard Bailey had come to his daughter’s assistance when now ex-police chief Richard Combs pulled her over for a broken tail light in 2011. Unbeknownst to Bailey, Combs had taken out an arrest warrant on Bailey for obstruction of justice. He sat on it for seven weeks until… Bailey was at Eutawville Town Hall for his daughter’s court appearance regarding the tail light. This is when, according to Combs, he announced he had a warrant and was going to arrest Bailey, and when Bailey began to walk toward his pickup truck in the Town Hall parking lot, which is also outside the police station… The scene quickly escalated to the ultimate death of Bailey – Combs shot him three times while Bailey remained in the driver seat of his truck. Combs was standing in front of the truck door, claiming that the vehicle was moving and he ‘feared for his life.’ “

Bono-aLotta-SelfU2’s Bono partners with Monsanto to destroy African agriculture with GMOs – by Jonathan Benson, NaturalNews.com – “At the recent G8 Summit held at Camp David in Maryland, the Obama regime met with private industry leaders to announce the launch of the ‘New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition,’ a thinly-veiled Green Revolution 2.0 that aims to uproot autonomous family farming systems throughout Africa and replace them with toxic monoculture systems controlled by multinational corporations like Monsanto… The deceptively titled scheme, which investigative journalist Rady Ananda describes as ‘a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit,’ follows the usual script — all those poor African people need American corporations to take control of their lives so they can be healthy and prosperous… ‘They’re future consumers for the United States,’ stated Bono during a 2012 interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, referring to the people of Africa who have yet to be assimilated into the beast system. ‘The president is talking business. This is good. It’s a whole new development paradigm today. The old donor/recipient relationship… it’s over.’.. A video clip of Bono speaking these menacing words is available here: KennySideshow.Blogspot.com.”

What They’re Not Telling You About Monsanto’s Role in Ukraine – Will This be a Takeover of Ukraine’s Farmland? – by Christina Sarich, NaturalSociety.com – “Previously, there was a ban on private sector land ownership in the country – but it was lifted ‘just in time’ for Monsanto to have its way with the Ukraine… In fact, a bit of political maneuvering by the IMF gave the Ukraine a $17 billion loan – but only if they would open up to biotech farming and the selling of Monsanto’s poison crops and chemicals – destroying a farmland that is one of the most pristine in all of Europe. Farm equipment dealer, Deere, along with seed producers Dupont and Monsanto, will have a heyday… In the guise of ‘aid,’ a claim has been made on Ukraine’s vast agricultural riches. It is the world’s third largest exporter of corn and fifth largest exporter of wheat. Ukraine has deep, rich, black soil that can grow almost anything, and its ability to produce high volumes of GM grain is what made biotech come rushing to take it over.”

Roller-Coaster-downThis Is Exactly How Markets Behave Right Before They Crash – by Michael Snyder, The EconomicCollapseBlog.com – “With all of these signs of trouble out there, the smart money is rapidly pulling their money out of stocks and putting it into government bonds. This usually happens when a crisis is looming. It is called a “flight to safety”, and it pushes government bond yields down… On Wednesday, the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries fell beneath the important 1.8 percent barrier. We will probably see it go even lower in the months ahead… As the rest of the world economy crumbles, the remainder of the globe is looking to America to be the rock in the storm. For example, the following quote that I found today comes from a British news source… ‘The global economy is running on a single engine… the American one,’ the World Bank’s chief economist, Kaushik Basu, said. ‘This does not make for a rosy outlook for the world.’.. Well, they may not want to rely on us too much, because there are plenty of signs that our economy is slowing down too. For example, we learned today that December retail sales were down 0.9% from a year ago, and this is being called “an unmitigated disaster“. Americans were supposed to be taking the money that they were saving on gasoline and spending it, but that apparently is not happening.”

Salt Lake City slaps on $14,400 fine for dead van in driveway – by Christopher Smart, SLTrib.com – “Another thing about the notice that caught Peterson’s eye was the statement that those Salt Lake City codes were ‘enacted to maintain life, health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants of Salt Lake City.’.. Maybe the notice was referring to the van, Peterson surmised. He hadn’t licensed it because it was not running. But how could his ‘74 Ford threaten anyone’s health, safety or general welfare? It wasn’t up on blocks rusting away… ‘I thought that was wrong,’ he said. ‘What they are saying is, I would have to have someone tow it to a lot and then pay them to store it.’ “

Rory_FanningTomgram: Rory Fanning, Unpacking the War on Terror – from TomDispatch.com – Including: Letter to a Young Army Ranger (From an Old One) – Why the War on Terror Shouldn’t Be Your Battle – by Rory Fanning – “Dear Aspiring Ranger, You’ve probably just graduated from high school and you’ve undoubtedly already signed an Option 40 contract guaranteeing you a shot at the Ranger indoctrination program (R.I.P.). If you make it through R.I.P. you’ll surely be sent off to fight in the Global War on Terror. You’ll be part of what I often heard called “the tip of the spear.”.. The war you’re heading into has been going on for a remarkably long time. Imagine this: you were five years old when I was first deployed to Afghanistan in 2002. Now I’m graying a bit, losing a little up top, and I have a family. Believe me, it goes faster than you expect.”

France moves to crack down on terror speech – from TheLocal.fr – “UPDATED: French courts have started handing out prison sentences to outspoken supporters of the recent terror attacks in Paris, with a girl as young as 15 apprehended by police for referring to the Kouachis as “my brothers”… ‘We can’t back down an inch,’ public prosecutor Patrice Michel told AFP… ‘It’s the first time we’ve applied the law of 14 of November 2014 in our fight against terrorism.’.. Dubbed the “French Patriot Act” by its opponents, the bill received the support of a majority of lawmakers in the Senate but was deemed “anti-democratic” by civil rights groups and some political parties who were wary of the extended powers it granted the government.”

Adam_Koessler-w-Rumer_RoseFather arrested in Australia for successfully treating his dying cancer-ridden toddler with cannabis oil – by Paul Fassa, NaturalNews.com – ” ‘It is true he has been arrested for supplying a dangerous drug to a minor and I support the Child Protection Unit’s decision to arrest him and charge him,’ (Mother) Sacha attested on her GoFundMe page where she is raising funds for flying in family members to visit her daughter… Meanwhile, Adam was released on bail with the provision that he does not even visit the child. He was scheduled for a hearing on January 20. Meanwhile, Sacha reports on her Facebook page “Rumer’s Recovery”: ‘Rumer came out of ICU yesterday and is much better! She is sitting up and bossing everybody around again, huge improvement! We are on the right road to recovery.’.. Her version of the right road is evidently surgery and chemo, family and clown visits, and toys. One might wonder if Sacha was the one who reported Adam to the Child Protection Unit. A recent Facebook post reported that Rumer Rose’s condition worsened yet again after high-CBD cannabis oil was banned.”

Monsanto Earnings Fall 34% as Farmers Reject GMO Crops – by Mike Barrett, GlobalResearch.ca – “Monsanto’s decline in earnings is also the result of farmers using less acreage for planting corn, reducing demand for the company’s manufactured seeds… What’s more, Monsanto’s revenue fell more than 8% to $2.87bn in the period due to a lower sales of corn seeds and herbicide. It was reported that analysts expected $2.96bn, according to Zacks… Monsanto shares have decreased nearly 3% since the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has climbed slightly more than 8%. Stock, though, has increased slightly in the last 12 months… If youi’re invested in Monsanto stock like Bill Gates, who owns hundreds of thousand of Monsanto shares worth about $23 million, it might be time to pull out. The biotech giant also reported over $156 million in losses for the fourth quarter of 2014.”

There Are More Slaves Today Than at Any Time in Human History – It is an industry that produces huge profits and countless wasted lives – by Terrence McNally, Alternet.org – “Today’s slavery focuses on big profits and cheap lives. It is not about owning people like before, but about using them as completely disposable tools for making money… During the four years that Benjamin Skinner researched modern-day slavery, he posed as a buyer at illegal brothels on several continents, interviewed convicted human traffickers in a Romanian prison and endured giardia, malaria, dengue and a bad motorcycle accident… But Skinner is most haunted by his experience in a brothel in Bucharest, Romania, where he was offered a young woman with Down syndrome in exchange for a used car.”

Reb_Menachem_MargolinEurope’s Leading Rabbi: Jews Must Begin Carrying Guns – by Adam Kredo, FreeBeacon.com – “The European Jewish Association (EJA), which represents Jewish communities across Europe, says that gun license laws must be altered following a string of deadly attacks on Jews in France and other European countries, where anti-Semitism has been growing at an alarming rate… The recent attacks, including one on a Kosher market that killed four, “have revealed the urgent need to stop talking and start acting” in a way that empowers Europe’s Jews, according to a letter sent Tuesday by EJA General Director Rabbi Menachem Margolin to EU leaders.”

Turkey bans media reports on arms delivery to Syria militants – from PressTV.ir – “A ban was imposed after a Twitter account published a series of documents that showed trucks belonging to the MİT were providing arms to Syria militants fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad… According to the Hurriyet daily, a Turkish court ordered the closure of all websites, including Facebook and Twitter, which refrained from removing information or allegations in connection with the leaked documents… The MIT claimed the trucks contained humanitarian aid for the people of Syria… The prosecutor involved in the case was dismissed by the Turkish government, which also blocked further investigation into it… Moreover, 19 security officials who stopped the trucks are currently being tried for “spying” charges.”

DenierClimate Change Alarmists Bully Media to Call Skeptics ‘Deniers,’ (Washington Post) Agrees – by Mike Ciandella, NewsBusters.org – “According to the Orwellian-sounding Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, “Public discussion of scientific topics such as global warming is confused by misuse of the term ‘skeptic.’” The Committee’s petition called for journalists to only use the term “denier,” and never “skeptic,” when referring to anyone not convinced that humans are responsible for climate change. CSI is a project of the Center for Inquiry, a group which, among other things, campaigns to prevent religious groups from being allowed to own hospitals… CSI also relies heavily on the word of “experts” like Bill Nye (whose career depends on people not realizing that “science guy” doesn’t mean “scientist”) and Neil deGrasse Tyson (who has been criticized for fabricating quotes to make a point). Despite this, The Washington Post hyped this petition, and even used Nye’s name in the headline for credibility.”

Ontario, Canada Admits Pesticides Are Killing Mass Amounts Of Bees. Here’s What They’re Doing About It – by Arjun Walia, Collective-Evolution.com – ” ‘The Ontario government has moved to limit the use of neonicotinoid pesticides amid growing evidence that the substances are responsible for drastic reductions in bee populations in the province. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs laid out a three-point initiative Tuesday that it says will ensure “healthy ecosystems” and a “productive agricultural sector” while reversing the downward trend of pollinator numbers.’… Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller recently made an appearance on the Canadian Broadcast Corporation news network stating that: ‘The science is very clear. It is absolutely linked to the problems with bees, the death of bees, but also the sub-lethal effects on bees, such as disorientation, which leads to colony failure. The new information that is before us and very alarming is that the impact on the ecosystem is much greater and much broader. The bees are the canary in the coalmine.’ “

This-Will-Hurt-You-More-ThanFormer Marine and Guantanamo Guard Claims the CIA Murdered Detainees – by Chris Carrington, At the time of their deaths, Salah Ahmed Al-Salami, 37, from Yemen, Mani Shaman Al-Utaybi, 30, from Saudi Arabia, and Yasser Talal Al-Zahrani, 22, also from Saudi Arabia, had not been charged with any crimes… In an interview with Vice News Hickman explained why he thinks the suicide version of events is impossible: ‘They would have had to all three tie their hands and feet together, shove rags down their throats, put a mask over their face, made a noose, hung it from the ceiling on the side of the cellblock, jumped into the noose and hung themselves simultaneously,’ he said… (Hickman) was on duty at Camp Delta on June 9,2006 and saw a high-security vehicle arrive three times. On each occasion, it left containing a prisoner, turning left onto a road that led to only two places, the beach or the CIA holding center… On returning to the camp sometime later, the vehicle went directly to the medical facility, and within ten minutes floodlights came on and sirens were wailing. The three men were dead.”

Guantanamo_BoysThis Won’t End Well: Military Police From the Torturous Gitmo Prison, Being Recruited as Cops – by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – “New recruits from Guantanamo Bay receive a full-time, paid 35 week training course which is apparently designed to help them make the transition from military police to neighborhood cop. Each class is filled with dozens of potential recruits, many of whom have worked in Guantanamo Bay. There are many hundreds and even thousands more who worked at lesser known military prison camps that are run in very much the same way, being accepted to police departments nationwide… Critics of former military personnel working in law enforcement, have argued that departments are contributing to the war-time mentality among police by hiring soldiers that are accustomed to operating in combat conditions. Hiring guards from Guantanamo Bay would be taking this a step further, as the prison has become notorious for widespread torture and abuse.”

Doctors forced to interrogate patients about whether they own guns – by J. D. Heyes, NaturalNews.com – “But that’s not all. There are other invasive questions that the law requires physicians to ask, including, ‘Do you have reason to be afraid that your spouse may physically harm you?’.. If you are asking, what business is it of Uncle Sam’s whether or not you own guns or might be a victim of domestic violence (which would be a local law enforcement issue, if true), you are not alone… ‘While it may appear that your doctor has suddenly taken a special interest in many more aspects of your life than they did previously, the truth is that the federal government is mandating that your doctor retrieve the information from their patients,’ Dr. Kestner wrote.”

social_weaponsHow to Lose Friends on Social Media: Question Authority
by James Holbrooks, ActivistPost.com – “And sure enough, the first comment I posted (literally the very first comment) mildly criticizing an article’s one-sided reporting instantly resulted in my getting hit with a private message. It was an old high school girlfriend who’d married a cop, and she proceeded to explain how she has zero tolerance for those who question law enforcement. She further informed me that any additional “negativity” from me would result in my removal from her friends list. Back in high school she dropped me for a football player.”

Hezbollah ready to respond to Israel strikes on Syria: Nasrallah – from PressTV.ir – “He noted that the Israeli strikes target not only territories in Syria but also the axis of resistance in the entire region… ‘The repeated bombings that struck several targets in Syria are a major violation, and we consider that any strike against Syria is a strike against the whole of the resistance axis, not just against Syria,’ Nasrallah said, adding, ‘The axis is capable of responding. This can happen any time.’.. Since the conflict began in Syria nearly four years ago, the Israeli military has targeted several positions in the country… The most recent such strike hit arms warehouses near the Syrian capital, Damascus, in December.”

Full-Time_SWATMajor Cities Across The US Becoming Equipped With “Full-Time” SWAT Teams – by John Vibes, TheFreeThoughtProject.com – ” ‘Chief Hite came to me a few months ago and said he thought it was time for Indianapolis to have a full-time swat team to deal with some of the high crime areas that we have. It’s up and running. And they’re using them quite frequently throughout the week,’ Troy Riggs, Indianapolis Director of Public Safety, said… With most major cities across the US equipped with full-time SWAT teams, millions of dollars worth of military gear, and former military employees, at which point is it fair to say that the United States is effectively under martial law?.. As we reported late last year, many police departments are now openly referring to themselves as “paramilitary organizations”… The California Highway Patrol for example, lists as its #1 question on its employment application paperwork, ‘Are you willing to work in a paramilitary organization, operating under a structured chain of-command?’.. On their website, they have an entire section dedicated to recruiting former soldiers and people with “paramilitary” experience.”

Special_Forces-Jordan-2012US plans to send 1,000 troops to Mideast – from PressTV.ir – “The US military says it plans to deploy about 1,000 troops to train the so-called moderate Syrian militants to fight against the ISIL terrorist group… The Pentagon announced on Friday that the training is expected to begin in the “early spring” and will take place in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar… Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told a news conference in Washington that the military will deploy some 400 trainers in the region in the next four to six weeks, and also send a similar number of troops to help them carry out the mission… The total troop number ‘for this mission could approach 1, 000,’ Kirby said. ‘It might even exceed that.’.. He stated that more than 5,400 Syrian militants would receive training and arms in the first year of the program.”

US is Preparing up to 5k Militants That Would Flee to ISIL – by Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com – “Reported along the peripheries of the Western media, it was reported recently that some 3,000 so-called “moderate rebels” of the “Free Syrian Army” had defected to the “Islamic State” (ISIS). While not the first time so-called “moderates” have crossed over openly to Al Qaeda or ISIS, it is one of the largest crossovers that has occurred… Before this brigade-sized defection, several other “vetted moderate rebel” groups, armed by the US in particular, have openly pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. The most notorious incident was when terror group Harakat Hazm, provided antitank TOW missiles by the US, openly pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organization Al Nusra. Al Nusra would assume possession of the TOW missiles, using them allegedly in a successful campaign in Syria’s Idlib province.”

It Looks Like An Execution – Charlie Hebdo: Report from Europe

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OcBF6xlER7E]

(Link) by Paul Craig Roberts, InformationClearingHouse.info – “As the metal screen rises, police fire into the deli. There seems to be no return fire, and it is unclear who the police are shooting at. Perhaps it was the heavy firing by the police that killed the hostages… Police enter and turn to the right. Then Coulibaly appears from the same direction as the police entered. He is in a running stumble as if he has been pushed into the line of fire. There is no weapon in his hands, which appear to be tied together. He falls or is shot down at the door in front of the police, who then fire more bullets into the downed man... It looks like an execution. It most certainly is not a gun fight. Coulibaly was down and could easily have been captured and questioned. Instead, we have reports of pre-recorded confessions to take the place of capture and questioning.” (emph. added)

Congress quietly ends federal government’s ban on medical marijuana – by Evan Halper, LATimes.com – ” ‘The war on medical marijuana is over,’ said Bill Piper, a lobbyist with the Drug Policy Alliance, who called the move historic… ‘Now the fight moves on to legalization of all marijuana,’ he said. ‘This is the strongest signal we have received from Congress [that] the politics have really shifted. … Congress has been slow to catch up with the states and American people, but it is catching up.’.. The measure, which Rohrabacher championed with Rep. Sam Farr, a Democrat from Carmel, had the support of large numbers of Democrats for years. Enough Republicans joined them this year to put it over the top. When the House first passed the measure earlier this year, 49 Republicans voted aye.”

Netanyahoo Responds To Nasrallah Speech With Big Escalation – by Moon Of Alabama, InformationClearingHouse.info – “Three days ago the leader of the Lebanese Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, warned Israel against “stupid moves”… Israel disregarded the warning. It today attacked a Hizbullah convoy on the Syrian side of the Golan heights and killed the Hizbullah commander in Syria as well as six other Hizbullah fighters. One of those killed today was Jihad Imad Mughniyeh the son of Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh killed by Israeli agents a few years ago. The attack was carried out by missiles released from a helicopter within Israeli borders… Israel is supporting Al-Qaeda in Syria, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, in the Syrian part of the Golan height. The attack on Hizbullah today must (also) be understood as direct Israeli support for Al-Qaeda. (emph. added)

Happy 2015!: Forecast 2015 — Life in the Breakdown Lane – by James Howard Kunstler, Kunstler.com – (among many predictions): “Bank of America is the first of the Too Big To Fails to enter the event horizon of failure. Obama can’t get congress to go along with a bailout. By Thanksgiving, there is turmoil among the banks as they scramble to cover losses. A public furor over using taxpayer money to cover derivatives losses leads to an unprecedented concerted action by states to attempt “nullification” campaigns.”

I don’t know if we have ever seen Gross be more negative about a new year than he is about 2015. For example, just consider this statement… ‘When the year is done, there will be minus signs in front of returns for many asset classes. The good times are over.’ ”

3 Articles from Tony Cartalucci, ActivistPost.com: A Timeline: Where’d Paris Shooters Get Their Weapons? -“The cartoonish nature of France first being reported to give weapons to “rebels” before these “rebels” are reported to be, in fact, Al Qaeda is not simply France’s bad luck. It is part of NATO’s very intentional, vast network of global state-sponsored terrorism. It would be reported that terrorists armed by the US in Syria with antitank missiles sided with Al Qaeda franchise and US State Department listed foreign terrorist organization, Al Nusra.” – Paris Shooters Just Returned from NATO’s Proxy War in Syria – “In an all too familiar pattern, and as predicted, the shooters involved in the attack in Paris Wednesday, January 7, 2015, were French citizens radicalized in Europe and exported to Syria to fight in NATO’s proxy war against the government in Damascus, then brought back where they have now carried out a domestic attack. Additionally, as have been many other domestic attacks, the suspects were long under the watch of Western intelligence services, with at least one suspect having already been arrested on terrorism charges.” – France Armed Terrorists that Struck Paris – “Funded by the US, trained in Britain and maintained as paramilitary extremist groups throughout Europe during the Cold War, NATO’s so-called “stay behind networks” were supposedly created to activate in the wake of a full-scale Soviet invasion of Western Europe. Instead, they were used to stage false-flag attacks, killing and maiming hundreds of Europeans with their atrocities blamed on the Soviet Union and their European sympathizers. The attacks and assassinations were used by NATO to manipulate public perception and reverse gains by political groups operating beyond NATO’s control.”

US officials, along with US and European media, are actively avoiding both the ‘Nazi’ and ‘Fascist’ issues for for fear of being labels as accomplices themselves to the genocidal and Nazi horrors being carried out in the Ukraine under both NATO and CIA close supervision.”

Congress Is Finally Pushing For 9/11 Truth – by Derrick Broze, ActivistPost.com – “Former Senator Bob Graham (who co-chaired Congress’ 9/11 inquiry with Porter Goss – together they met with Gen. Mahmud Ahmad of Pakistan’s ISI, who funded Mohamed Atta, on the morning of 9/11) spoke of the “denial of truth” coming from government officials. Graham asked, “Did these 19 hijackers act alone or did they have support?” He said the 28 pages “point a strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier” of the attacks. When asked if he was speaking about the Saudi government or independent elements, he stated that he was referring to the Saudi Kingdom.” – Yeah, Dat’s right, da Saudi’s did it, in da conservatory wit’ da lead pipe…

America’s Largest Police Union Pushes for Hate Crime Laws to Include Cops – by Cassius Methyl, ActivistPost.com – “The president of the group also said ‘Enough is enough! It’s time for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect us.’ .. There’s just one problem – a person cannot control the color of their skin. A voluntary choice to wear a uniform and become a cop is completely different from something a person has no control over… A hate crime is defined as a ‘criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.’ by the federal government.”

Amedi_CoulibalyINFORMANT? Paris Terror Suspect Met With French President Sarkozy in 2009 – by Jay Dyer, 21stCenturyWire.com – “It’s shocking to discover just how involved Coulibaly was in not one, but two of the French Security Service’s top-tier terror cases in recent years. According to the Washington Post, only 10 months after his introduction to Sarkozy, police searched Coulibaly’s apartment and found a large cache of weapons, including 240 rounds of heavy ammunition (240 7.62 mm caliber cartridges) and photos of him with one of France and American CIA’s top terrorist targets, radical Islamist Djamel Beghal Murat who was planning an attack against the US Embassy in Paris in 2010. For reasons unknown, Coulibaly was allowed to walk free, despite being given another 5 year sentence in 2013 for his role in plotting the (failed) escape attempt of another French terror icon, Ait Ali Belkacem Smaïn, the mastermind behind France’s Armed Islamic Group (GIA) who mounted attacks in Paris in 1995… As far as terrorist informant’s profiles go, Coulibaly’s positioning would considered gold-plated, but this point has been totally ignored – if not shielded – by mainstream media.” (emph. added)

Here They Go Again—-Subprime Delinquencies Rising In Autoland – by David Stockman, DavidStockmansContraCorner.com – “Car loans are collateralized and recoverable by the repo man when borrowers fail to pay. But unlike the case of housing, there has not yet been a crash in the value of new and used vehicles. So lenders—and especially the big banks like Chase and Well Fargo—-have had a field day making auto loans and either funding them with essentially zero cost deposits or selling them at an instant “gain-on-sale” profit to the securitized paper market… Consequently, auto loans outstanding are up nearly 30% from the post-crisis bottom, and nearly 20% from their prior peak. In short, the near total recovery of auto sales rests on a trillion dollar mountain of debt.”
