Major General Albert Stubblebine: Towers Fell Down Because of Explosives

I love this! The former Commanding General of the United States Army is coming out and saying explosives brought down the towers, a plane did not hit the pentagon and THE PRESS IS NOT FREE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD WHAT TO SAY.

SUCK ON THAT NAYSAYERS!

This is just another example of a prominent figure who is speaking the truth and making your petty, irrational arguments and lousy debuning look even more pathetic.



Major General Albert N. Stubblebine is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, class of 52) who enjoyed a distinguished 32 year career in the U.S. Army.

He retired as the Commanding General of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).

In is last assignment, retired Major General Albert N. Stubblebine was responsible of all of the army’s strategic intelligence forces around the world. He had responsibilities for the signals intelligence, photo intelligence, counter-intelligence and human intelligence.

“I do not believe the free press is free anymore [...] The press is saying what they have been told to say about this. Now do I have proof about this? No. But I believe that all the stories that were told about 9/11 were false.”
— Major General Albert N. Stubblebine III

Prior to this assignment he commanded the US Army Electronics Research and Development Command (ERADCOM). During his active duty career he commanded soldiers at every level. One of his experiences in the Army was being in charge of the Army’s imagery interpretation for scientific and technical intelligence during the Cold War. Among his other accomplishments, he participated in a special task force which defined the requirements of the U.S. Army for future conflict.

He is a long-term out-of-the-box thinker who redesigned the U.S. Army’s Intelligence Architecture while serving as the Commanding General of the U.S. Army’s Intelligence School and Center. This intelligence restructuring earned him his place in the Intelligence Hall of Fame.

Major General Albert N. Stubblebine doesn’t believe in the official conspiracy theory put forward by the Bush administration and has been a 9/11 Truth defender for many years. In a recent interview, he mentions “you look at the buildings falling, they didn’t fall down because of an airplane hit them, they fell down because explosives went off inside. Demolition. Look at Building 7 for God sakes.”

“What is it they do not want the public to know?”






After his retirement, Major General Stubblebine served as the VP for Intelligence Systems with BDM, a major defense contractor. He has brought these experiences to leading-edge medical research and development in collaboration with his wife Rima E. Laibow, M.D.

YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED

WAKE UP AMERICA!

If you think a travel agent's job is boring, just look at these examples:

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' our country is
in trouble!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her
hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window..

2.. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown I started to explain
the length of the flight and the passport information, and then she interrupted me with,
''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .''

Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in
Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''

Her response - click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked
what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view
room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from
Canada ?''

I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas.
When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas.
When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big
airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.''

6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible
that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained
that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of
time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on
your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?''
I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage
that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''

After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I
came back and explained the city code for Fresno , CA is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal),
and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage..

8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all
the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California , and then take the
train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do I know
which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is
823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida .. Do I have to get
on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to
fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he
needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one
of those.''

I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he
said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my
American Express!''

12 A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go from
Chicago to Rhino, New York. '' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure
that's the name of the town?'' '
'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the lady. After some searching, I came back
with, ''I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a
rhino anywhere.'

''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean
Buffalo, do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!

Could anyone be this DUMB?

YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED

You start off each day with reading this then you have no reason to ask the Question: What are they thinking in DC.

Jam of the year

¡VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

Let's go California, where you at??

Our government is becoming increasingly tyranical, fascist, dictatorial, oppressive and draconian every day. We need every state to introduce bills like this to protect the people. The Federal Government has been violating our constitutional rights for too long and we need our state representatives to get out of bed with the special interest groups and start representing the people again. START REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE AGAIN! That would be in a perfect world however, where money does not corrupt our politicians to shit all over the constitution.



REFERENCE TITLE: sovereignty; tenth amendment.

State of Arizona

House of Representatives

Forty-ninth Legislature

First Regular Session

2009



HCR 2024



Introduced by

Representatives Burges, Ash, Biggs, Boone, Gowan, Mason, Montenegro, Pancrazi, Seel, Williams: Barto, Campbell CL, Court, Crandall, Crump, Driggs, Fleming, Goodale, Hendrix, Kavanagh, Lesko, McComish, McGuire, Miranda B, Murphy, Nichols, Pratt, Quelland, Stevens, Tobin, Weiers JP, Senator Harper



A concurrent RESOLUTION


Claiming sovereignty under the tenth amendment to the constitution of the united states over certain powers, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.


Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"; and

Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and

Whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and

Whereas, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and

Whereas, many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and

Whereas, Article IV, section 4, United States Constitution, says in part, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", and the Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"; and

Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and

Whereas, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States.



Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring, that:

1. That the State of Arizona hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.

2. That this Resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.

3. That all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.

4. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's legislature and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
-- U.S. Constitution, Tenth Amendment

Fed up with Washington's involvement in everything from land use to gun control to education spending, states across the country are fighting back against what they say is the federal government's growing intrusion on their rights.

At least 35 states have introduced legislation this year asserting their power under the Tenth Amendment to regulate all matters not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution.

"This has been boiling for years, and it's finally come to a head," said Utah State Rep. Carl Wimmer. "With TARP and No Child Left Behind, these things that continue to give the federal government more authority, our rights as states and individuals are being turned on their head."

The power struggle between the states and Washington has cropped up periodically ever since the country was founded. But now some states are sending a simple, forceful message:

The government has gone too far. Enough is enough.

Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer recently signed into law a bill authorizing the state's gun manufacturers to produce "Made in Montana" firearms, without seeking licensing from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Similar laws are being considered in Utah, Alaska, Texas and Tennessee.

The Montana law is expected to end up in the courts, where states' rights activists hope judges will uphold their constitutional right to regulate firearms.

That would reverse a longstanding trend, said Martin Flaherty, a professor of constitutional law at Fordham Law School.

"From 1937 to 1995 there is not one instance of the Supreme Court knocking back Congress," he said. "In the Constitution the interstate commerce clause gives Congress the right to regulate commerce between the states. That gives them a lot of power. There were questions of how far they can reach, but then comes the New Deal, and Roosevelt gets all these picks on the [Supreme] Court, and they come upon a theory whereupon congressional power is almost infinite."



That 1930s understanding of the Constitution is now the norm, with advocates for the federal government arguing that issues of a certain size and scope can be addressed only by an institution with the resources of the federal government.

As an example, federal authority is necessary in the economic crisis, said U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, whose home state of Oklahoma recently passed a sovereignty resolution.

"The economic situation in our nation over the past year has not been contained in any one community or state. The industries and institutions affected by the recent economic crisis touch multiple layers of our economy and are not confined to any one state or region," he said in a statement. "I feel there was Constitutional justification for Congress's recent efforts to stabilize our economy."

But for many state leaders, the degree to which Congress regulates issues within their boundaries, using the interstate commerce clause to regulate just about everything and anything, has become untenable.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry made headlines recently when he made a passing reference to the possibility of the Lone Star State seceding from the U.S., saying, "if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that?"

States rights advocates offer countless examples of what they believe is Washington's overreach.

In Utah, 67 percent of the state's land is controlled by the federal government through wilderness preserves, limiting state leaders in their bid to fill government coffers through oil and natural gas drilling after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar cancelled 103,000 acres of leases this year.

In Idaho, ranchers are furious that federal endangered species law prevents them from shooting the wolves that prey on their cattle.

"The balance of power between the states and the federal government is way out of whack," said Georgia state Senator Chip Pearson." The effect here is incalculable. Everything you do from the moment you wake up until you get to bed, there is some federal law or restriction."

Up until recently, the state sovereignty movement has remained almost entirely Republican, drawing supporters from the ranks that voted against President Obama and attended tea parties last month to protest federal tax hikes.

But the movement's rank and file are just as likely now to criticize Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, as they are the new president, pointing to what they believe were Bush's overreaching policies on education and homeland security.

Many are becoming frequent visitors to a Web site, TenthAmendmentCenter.com, which was founded in early 2007 and has become a community bulletin board for states rights activists and politicians. Up to 20,000 viewers log on to the site every day.

The site's founder, Michael Boldin, a 36-year-old Web marketer in Los Angeles who says he has no political affiliation, says he decided to launch the site after watching the Maine State Legislature fight the Department of Homeland Security on the Real ID act, a controversial Bush-era law that will require states to issue federally regulated identification cards, complete with biometric data and stringent address checks.

"Maine resisted, and the government backed off, and soon all these other states were doing the same thing," Boldin said. "The bottom line is, if there's widespread support, people can resist the federal government at the state level."

The deadline for states to comply with Real ID has now been pushed back until 2011.

The Tenth Amendment movement is not without controversy. In Georgia, a columnist for The Atlanta Journal Constitution called a sovereignty resolution in the state Senate a threat "to secede from and even disband the United States."

The resolution, which was passed as part of a group of bills that were banded together, affirmed the state's powers under the Tenth Amendment, taking its inspiration and language from Thomas Jefferson's 1798 resolution opposing the Alien and Sedition Acts -- laws enacted by the federal government during wartime to quiet protest against the government.

The resolution asserts that any instance of the federal government taking action beyond its enumerated powers "shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America."

"It's been taken out of context by some editors," said Pearson, who sponsored the bill. "It certainly never meant secession. The intent was to communicate that the actions of the federal government are an infringement on states' rights."

Robert Natelson, a law professor at the University of Montana who was involved in drawing up that state's sovereignty resolution over a decade ago, argues that states up until now have been unwilling to take action of any real consequence in checking federal power.

"Back then they passed the resolution, but they didn't turn down any federal dollars," he said.

"If the states are serious about returning the federal government to its historical origins, they're going to have to do more than pass resolutions. They're going to have to turn down money and litigate."

Bill O'Reilly Flips Out (Dance Remix)

Wake Up Bozo, The Media Is Controlled!!!

By Z

There seems to be a lot of ignorance about the credibility of the US media in this country. Too many Americans are brainwashed by the daily spread of disinformation. Many Americans don’t suspect anything is wrong because they just haven’t picked up on it or haven’t been exposed to enlightening information on the matter. These are the same idgits who still think we still have a democracy and believe the official 9/11 fable…and probably believe in the Easter bunny and Santa Clause as well. It’s ok though because it’s not their fault. There are a few however who are incapable of accepting the irrefutable facts and evidence that categorically prove that the media is controlled. They go on saying “Why that’s absurd!”, “That’s preposterous”, “That can’t be…our press is free!”, “That only happens in third world countries and can’t happen here

WAKE UP YOU MORON! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

A little side note…in this piece I’m only calling those people morons and other niceties who are incapable of accepting the irrefutable facts and evidence that categorically prove that the media is controlled.

THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT HERE YOU GOON! YOU DENSE, TURD FOR BRAINS, IMBECILE, IGNORANT, NAÏVE SHEEPLE!

I want to beat those people over the head with my 9 iron, jeez! Ok…I’m cool, I’m cool, just had to get that out of my system.

Now that I have your attention, let’s look at a most excellent quote from a brilliant mind,

“Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance.”
Albert Einstein

Give that some thought, let it sink in and then read on.



The fact of the matter is that many Americans still insist or persist in believing that we have a free press, while getting most of their news from state-controlled television, under the misconception that reporters are meant to serve the public. Reporters are paid employees and serve the media owners, who usually cower when challenged by advertisers or major government figures. What you have to understand is that a handful of multinational corporations own all the media -TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, book publishers, etc. Theses conglomerates use the media to promote their businesses. Most of the income of for-profit media outlets comes not from their audiences, but from commercial advertisers who are interested in selling products to that audience. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the business world, for-profit corporations are institutions that by law are obligated to put the profits of their investors ahead of all other considerations.

A PUBLICLY TRADED CORPORATION HAS A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS TO INCREASE AND MAXIMIZE PROFITS.

THE GOAL OF MAXIMIZING PROFITS IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE PRACTICE OF RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM.

This concentration of ownership reduces the diversity and puts great power in the hands of a few companies. As news outlets fall into the hands of large conglomerates with holdings in many industries, conflicts of interest inevitably interferes with newsgathering. Media corporations share members of the board of directors with a variety of other large corporations including banks, investment companies, oil companies, health care, pharmaceutical, and technology companies.

In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. Now 6 huge corporations - Time Warner, Disney, Vivendi Universal, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -now control most of the media industry in the U.S.

http://www.mediachannel.org/ownership/chart.shtml
http://www.thenation.com/special/bigten.html

What you have to understand is that these journalists have a boss. A boss who tells them what they can say and what they cannot say. They get a story handed down from above which they have to talk about. They then have to pick a position that goes with the format of the network and then they read the teleprompter…just like Obama. They are all actors! They get their news straight out of the biased, subjective mouths of politicians. How is that objective news reporting? You think journalists have free reign to talk about everything they want to talk about? Let me ask you something, how can they? How can a journalist honestly report on anything that would negatively harm the special interests who own the network? They can’t! They wouldn’t have a job. It goes in direct violation of the business and political interests. You can’t have a rogue journalist badmouthing the interests of the network.

Look at this beautiful example…

NBC fired its Pulitzer prize-winning Baghdad correspondent Peter Arnett because he reported the truth. He said the US war plan has failed. He was reporting on NBC, which is owned by General Electric, one of the biggest defense contractors in the United States. If people begin to have doubts about the war, it could hurt GE's business. It is therefore in their best interest to paint the war in as positive terms as possible.

Can we really trust news agencies owned by defense contractors to provide unbiased news in wartime?

I think that question answers itself.

In less than 24 hours Peter was hired by Britain’s Daily Mirror. The tabloid's banner headline said: "Fired by America for telling the truth ... hired by Daily Mirror to carry on telling it." An editor for the Daily Mirror, told CNN, “Peter is one of the most respected journalists in the world, and we are delighted he is joining us to expose the truth about a war increasingly dominated by propaganda…Honesty is not acceptable in the Bush era if it conflicts with the White House view. The Daily Mirror is proud to have hired Peter Arnett. And proud that we have a team dedicated to telling the truth about what is happening in Iraq.”
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/31/sprj.irq.arnett/

Here is a big long list of documented instances of GE’s influence on NBC.
http://homepage.mac.com/herinst/envcrisis/media/ownership/nbc.html#GEonNBC

Since media owners are now so large and deeply involved in the highest levels of the economy, the news and other public information become heavily weighted in favor of all corporate values.

This is the BIGGEST propaganda machine in the history of mankind!



Many journalists, media moguls and people in government are coming out now and blowing the whistle. Jesse Ventura, former Mayor, Governor and Navy Seal, has exposed many lies since he gave up his seat in government. He views on how 9/11 was obviously an inside job is well known. As a patriot he questioned and poked a lot of holes in the official story. He also exposed how there are CIA operatives in every state government, when clearly the CIA is not allowed to be operational in the United States.

He came out with a new book “Don’t Start The Revolution Without Me”, where he exposes the whole democrat/republican smokescreen as a show…an act. In front of the public they make like they’re enemies, but they’re all friends involved in each other’s businesses. He says there is no difference, they’re all politicians who are paid off by the same special interests groups who fund their campaigns. They are owned by the people who gave them the money to put them there. In return, they pass laws which favor and facilitate the agenda of these special interests. The politicians with the most money get in office and stay there 98% of the time. They stay there because of the money the special interests give them. Therefore those who gave them the money, pull the strings. He said it is just like pro wrestling. Looks real, but very much orchestrated and planned. Just like the media. The most powerful media companies routinely make large contributions to both major political parties, while receiving millions of dollars in return in the form of payments for running political ads. He went on record several times and said the media is controlled and how the CIA is present in every major news organization. He said the government owns the media and the media pushes the government’s agenda. Interview here:
http://blog.ktradionetwork.com/2009/06/17/kevins-full-interview-with-jesse-ventura/

After he stepped down as governor, he signed a 3 year contract with MSNBC to do a talk show. Production was under way when MSNBC found out about Jesse’s opposition to the war and they cancelled the show. The same thing happened to Phil Donahue’s show that was #1 on MSNBC. They found out he was against the war and fired him. Remember who owns NBC? That’s right, General Electric. Clearly journalists cannot state their HONEST opinions on TV because they won’t have a job if they do.

Jesse claims he didn’t take part in the briberies and corruption because he was an Independent and the Reps and Dems saw him as an outsider. However, the educated public sees him as an insider…a man who was in there and is now blowing the whistle on the whole shebang!



Former CIA Director William Colby said:

"The central intelligence agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media."

OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD was a secret CIA campaign to influence domestic and foreign media beginning in the 1950s. The media had been recruited and infiltrated by the CIA for propaganda purposes.

Thank you Jesse Ventura and many other insiders for confirming that the spooks are still there!

Here are some other reports of the CIA infiltrating the media:

Many Americans think of their supposedly free press as a watchdog on government, mainly because the press itself shamelessly promotes that myth. One of the steps for the control of a population is to control all sources of information the population receives. With the help of the CIA and special interests, the mainstream American Press became a controlled multi-national corporate/government megaphone.



The Bush administration has been caught paying off journalists, here are a few accounts:

Television reporter Mike Vasilinda has pulled in more than $100,000 over the past four years through contracts with the office of Gov. Jeb Bush, the secretary of state, the Department of Education and other Florida government entities that are routinely featured in Vasilinda's widely broadcast stories.
http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20050326/NEWS/503260408?Title=TV-reporter-earned-money-from-state

Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $240,000 to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-01-06-williams-whitehouse_x.htm

Congressional correspondent Jessica Yellin on Anderson Cooper 360 CNN admitted that she was pressured by the network executives to frame her pieces in a way that made President Bush look positive, even editing her pieces to favor the administration.

Yellin: Press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives, frankly, to make sure that this was a war that was presented in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the President's high approval ratings and my own experience at the White House was that the higher the President's approval ratings, the more pressure I had from news executives, and I was not at this network at the time, but the more pressure I had from these executives to put on positive stories about the President. I think over time....

Cooper: You had pressure from news executives to put on positive stories about the President?

Yellin: Not in that exact...they wouldn't say it in that way, but they would edit my pieces. They would push me in different directions. They would turn down stories that were more critical and try to put on pieces that were more positive. Yes. That was my experience.

Bill Moyers: April 25, 2007: "Buying the war"

Four years ago this spring the bush administration took leave of reality and plunged our country into a war so poorly planned it soon turned into a disaster. The story of how high officials misled the country has been told. But they couldn't have done it on their own; they needed a compliant press, to pass on their propaganda as news and cheer them on. Since then thousands of people have died, and many are dying to this day. Yet the story of how the media bought what the white house was selling has not been told in depth on television.

The Power of Nightmares is a revealing BBC documentary that digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests and spread through the media.

ABC has now whored itself to the White House so the White House can use them to spread their biased propaganda about the health care plan.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/16/abc-news-teams-obama-white-house-present-presidents-health-care-plan/

Critics are calling this a surrender to the Obama administration’s effort to control the debate. Obama will only answer questions presented by audience members selected by ABC news. Presidents have been, but here it’s flagrantly and blatantly in your face! They get a list of the questions that are going to be asked and who’s going to ask them. This is government controlled media! Isn’t this what they do in North Korea and Communist China?? What they did in Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany?

Kevin Trudeau the infomercial king, author and business man, exposed the corrupt business practices of the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, the FDA, the FTC and the media in a book he wrote called “Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About”. In America only a patented FDA approved drug or surgery can legally prevent, cure or treat a disease. Doctors cannot by law, prevent, treat or cure a disease by natural homeopathic and holistic methods. It is also illegal for a company which sells an herb to claim it has medical benefits. The FDA sued Kevin 37million dollars and told him he couldn’t go on TV, on Radio or any media for at least 3 years, but they’re trying for indefinitely. The FDA was also trying to take his books of the shelves. Even thought it outsold Harry Potter as the number 1 best seller. He also had to publish it himself because no publishing company wanted to stick their neck out. What happened to the First Amendment? Freedom of speech, hello? These Gestapo-like regulatory agencies like the FDA, FTC are trying to suppress public knowledge about these natural cures because them along with the drug companies are making too much damn money. Drug companies are publicly traded companies and they too have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to increase profits. This is the reason why we haven’t seen any cures for years. If a drug company’s goal would be to cure disease and make people healthy they would go bankrupt! Healthy people don’t buy drugs. Their only purpose is to get people hooked on their drugs and have them buy those drugs until they die. They fund the campaigns of politicians, lie to doctors and pay off the FDA to approve their unsafe drugs.

These drug companies are part of the special interest groups which control the media. Have you bothered to count all the drug commercials on TV nowadays? Drug companies are the #1 advertisers. Have you noticed how none of the journalists on TV ever say anything bad about drug companies? Why wasn’t it headline news when Vioxx killed 200,000 people? Or when AstraZeneca, one of the largest drug manufacturers told their sales reps to lie to their customers/doctors and not tell them that Seroquel causes diabetes? There are literally hundreds of examples of complete media blackouts when it comes to reporting on these stories. There are also hundreds of examples of the media not reporting on possible natural cures. Why? The answer is very simple…you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.



There are many special interest groups that have an influence on the media, but of course the biggest propaganda pushing entity is the government.

These special interest groups or CEO’s from multinational conglomerates (including the media) like to get together with world leaders, politicians and the banking elite every once in a while, to among many things, talk about ways they can work together to increase profits. They hold memberships in various organizations you might have heard of. The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission and the ever so secretive Bilderberg group.

Now, whenever the CFR meets it’s done publicly. Every year when the G8 meets, and the G20 meets, they do it publicly and everybody knows about it as well. It’s all over the news, magazines, internet, there are even massive riots and protests like in England this year. You hear about everything from who was there and what was discussed, well not everything…but there are press releases. Front page coverage on every major newspaper, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc…You see it on every major network NBC, FOX, CNN for weeks!

So...how is it that when more world leaders like princes and royalty, prime ministers, presidents, all the central bankers from the Federal Reserve and around the world, the IMF, the World Bank, NATO, WTO, UN, all the media moguls who control the media, all the owners of the major corporations in the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry and others from the most powerful nations in the world, get together at a Bilderberg meeting and there’s a complete blackout in the media? Why is there is a much heavier security presence (paramilitary with machine guns) than at the G20? Why is it that when ballzy journalists like Alex Jones and Charlie Skelton from the Guardian,get too close, get followed, threatened and harassed by undercover officials and local police? Here is Charlie’s very detailed account of what happened at this year’s Bilderberg conference in Athens, Greece.

So how come not one major media network is reporting on the Bilderberg meetings?? FOX, CNN, NBC, ABC, BLA BLABIDDY BLA BALA…where are you?
Where is the free media?? If you are so free and independent then why aren’t you reporting on the most important meeting that happens every year with the most powerful elite class on the planet?
Where are you Bill O’Reilly? Where are you Sean Hannity? Where are you Mr. Keeping it Real Anderson Cooper?

THIS IS A 100 % MEDIA BLACKOUT AND QUANITFIABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS NOT TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!

Why is it that when some independent journalist asks one of the attendees about it, some deny it even exists? Youtube “We Are Change” and “Bilderberg”. Some might also say “no comment”, “I’m not at liberty to discuss that” or that it’s just a bunch of old farts getting together and it’s not a big deal, nothing to worry about. Like we’re supposed to believe it’s not a big deal when the most important people on earth get together and have a meeting. Right!

The mainstream media is obviously told to step down and not cover the most important event that happens every year. The owners of the mainstream media luckily all attend the Bilderberg and CFR meetings, so it kind of works out perfectly huh?



Both major political parties used the media to build the perception of opposing positions on key issues, while the whole time they are building consensus on issues that were critical to social change. That's verified in the Congressional Record for 1917, which reported that:

“...The j.p. morgan [banking] interests.... And their subsidiary organizations got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the united states and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the us.... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. ...an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information....”
--Congressman Oscar Callaway statements were included in the Congressional Record (vol. 54, February 9, 1917, p. 2947)
http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9D04EEDE1F3FEE3ABC4951DFB366838A639EDE

Here we have J.P. Morgan on record! Bankers have bought and paid the media in this country time and time again people.
Here we have the head of the most prominent banking family admitting media collusion:

“We are grateful to the washington post, the new york times, time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been quite impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, now that the world is more sophisticated, it is prepared to march towards a world government and accept the supranational sovereignty of an intellectual and financial elite, which is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries…”

David Rockefeller

Rockefeller writes on page 405 of his memoirs:

“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the united states, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, i stand guilty, and i am proud of it.”

Straight from the horse’s mouth!



The United States' original communications policy is the 1st Amendment. Freedom of the press was guaranteed in the Constitution because an exchange of information and an unfettered debate were considered essential components of a democratic society. Today, however, government policy is designed less to facilitate a democratic discussion than to protect the investments of media corporations. Regulations tend to promote the formation of huge media conglomerates and discourage new, competing voices. Although even the information you get on the internet nowadays should be taken with a grain of salt, there are many excellent alternative news outlets available, which are a much better source for truthful information than the mainstream media. There is entirely too much crap that the mainstream media focuses on. Britney Spears and her drug use, Lindsey Lohan is dating a lesbian, Kim Kardashian has a fat ass and likes it…are you kidding me? Seriously? This is not even news first of all, it’s gossip! This is intentionally done to dumb down the public.

“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.”
Adolf Hitler

Adolf was a sick puppy, but he sure was smart.
The media is just a propaganda machine used to influence your thinking and feelings, in order to gain your trust or distrust, acceptance or unacceptance of world events so the elite can continue with their agenda. So do yourself a favor and turn your TV off, it’s not doing anything but brainwashing you. You owe it to yourself to have a non-bias conduit that does not twist and bend the news to satisfy various external interests. If after all this you still think we have a free media, then clearly you are living on Fantasy Island. The plane, the plane…WAKE UP YOU MORON!

You know why I can say that?

Because I don’t have a boss and I can say whatever I want! I’m practicing my 1st Amendment rights baby!

I leave you with a little philosophical clarity…

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

Kissinger says Obama will change Regime in Iran if the coup fails

Here is Kissinger basically saying that Obama must make clear what kind of government he wants in Iran. The president of the United States has to decide what kind of government he wants in Iran?? Since when is Iran part of the United States? If the coup is unsuccessful and a "popularly based" government does not emerge, then WE the United States must work for regime change in Iran from the outside. This is an indicted war criminal making threats against a sovereign nation.

David Icke on Alex Jones TV: Superseding the Reptilian Brain

Examiner) A fascinating dialogue between two pillars in the freedom and enlightenment movement; relevant to the emergence of free energy technology because it describes the 'mindset' of those who seek to suppress the emergence of these technology that would not only make oil obsolete, but would remove one of the primary methods of maintaining control over society.

Alex Jones is one of the most courageous spokesmen on the subject of the intentional erosion of freedom by a cabal who is seeking to establish a New World Order that would essentially be a global socialist dictatorship, for which President Barak Obama has been putting the U.S. on the fast track.

I recommend that you subscribe to his YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlexJonesChannel and listen in once in a while.

One of the most amazing interviews he's done on his http://PrisonPlanet.tv show, from a spiritual point of view, is an interview he did on June 15, 2009, with David Icke, former professional football player, reporter, BBC television sports presenter, author, popular lecturer and New World Order researcher. See David's website at http://www.davidicke.com

Here they talk about the "reptilian brain", which is a mainstream scientific term for the brain stem where the primitive animalistic instincts are found: fight-flight, knee-jerk reactions, fear, lust, survival instincts. In contrast, the enlightened "consciousness" component of advanced humans, can supersede this animalistic foundation, and will ultimately be what enables civilization to rise above the present central-authoritarian-control-based society (New World Order) that is based in the reptilian brain instincts, both in terms of the controllers and those who allow themselves to be controlled.

It's a fascinating dialogue between two pillars in the freedom movement and well worth your time to listen to it.

This subject is highly relevant to the emergence of free energy technology as well, because it describes the "mindset" (reptilian) of those who seek to suppress the emergence of these technologies that would not only make oil obsolete, but would remove one of the primary methods of maintaining control over society. Distributed energy and free, individualistic, enlightened expression go hand in hand. That is our destiny.

Here is an embedded playlist showing the 10-part video series of this interview between Alex Jones and David Icke.

FDA Threatens to Seize All Natural Products that Dare to Mention H1N1 Swine Flu

(NaturalNews) In an effort to censor any online text that might inform consumers of the ability of natural products to protect consumers from H1N1 influenza A, the FDA is now sending out a round of warning letters, threatening to "take enforcement action... such as seizure or injunction for violations of the FFDC Act without further notice."

"Firms that fail to take correction action," the FDA warns, "may also be referred to the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations for possible criminal prosecution for violations of the FFDC Act and other federal laws."

The message is crystal clear: No product may be described as protecting against or preventing H1N1 infections unless it is approved by the FDA. And which products has the FDA approved? Tamiflu (the anti-viral drug that most people will never have access to), and soon the new H1N1 vaccine that's being manufactured at a cost of one billion dollars (paid to Big Pharma by the taxpayers). This vaccine, of course, will be utterly useless because H1N1 will undoubtedly mutate between now and the time the vaccine is ready, rendering the vaccine useless.

In other words, according to the tyrants at the FDA, the only products that may be marketed alongside the term "H1N1" are those products that either don't work or aren't available to most people. Anything that really works to prevent influenza infections -- such as natural anti-virals, medicinal herbs, etc. -- is banned from even mentioning H1N1 without the threat of being criminally prosecuted.

Note: I reveal the five most powerful natural anti-viral remedies in a free report you can read here: http://www.naturalnews.com/RR-FiveB...

Such are the operations of our U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- a criminal organization that's working hard to do what every criminal organization does: Eliminate the competition! As the defender of Big Pharma, the FDA is also the destroyer of knowledge that seeks to remove educational statements from the internet. Truth has nothing to do with it -- it is verifiably true that anti-viral herbs, probiotics and other natural products help protect consumers from influenza -- but the FDA cannot allow such statements to remain online for the simple fact that people might become informed. And that, it seems, would be a dangerous precedent.

If people were informed about the healing and protective powers of herbs, they would no longer remain enslaved by the medical establishment. Profits would be lost. Power would evaporate. This is why people can never be allowed to attain any real knowledge about herbs, superfoods or nutritional supplements. And the FDA will threaten people with imprisonment just to make sure they don't dare publish knowledge that the FDA does not want the people to see.



Targeted by the FDA
Who is being attacked and threatened by the FDA? Lots of companies offering highly-effective natural remedies. You can see a list of some of the companies being targeted right here: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scrip...

Byron Richards' company Wellness Resources, a favorite target of the FDA (no doubt because Richards wrote a book attacking the FDA), is also targeted in this censorship campaign. You can see the FDA's ridiculous complaint against his company here: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scrip...

Hyperinflation Could Hit US In 5-10 Years: Dr. Doom

The US is headed toward hyperinflation, and within five to 10 years it could have inflation rates of 10 to 20 percent, said Marc Faber, editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report.

"In every society, when you have large fiscal deficits combined with easy monetary policies … the likelihood that you will have high inflation is very, very high," Faber said. "And it happens very quickly."

These numbers rise so speedily because the government "massively" understates the country's rate of inflation, Faber said. To get a true reading, he said, people need to ditch core inflation numbers and include CPI in their analysis.

"It’s a lie what they publish," said Faber. "If you underweigh education costs, and if you underweigh health care costs, then you come to a totally different result."

In such a volatile market, Faber said the safest place to invest is in equities or assets.

"I'm not very bullish about real estate prices in the U.S., but I'd rather be in real estate than in 30-year U.S. bonds."

Let's Give The Bastards More Power!

WSJ-- The Federal Reserve would become the nation's most powerful financial overseer, an approach that is becoming a flashpoint as lawmakers and consumer groups attack the central bank for its role in creating and handling the financial crisis.
The proposal, if passed into law, would represent one of the biggest changes ever in the Fed's role. The central bank would win power to monitor risks across the financial system, and sweeping authority to examine any firm that could threaten financial stability, even if the Fed wouldn't normally supervise the institution. The nation's biggest and most interconnected firms would be subject to heightened oversight by the central bank.

President Obama said the plan would ensure "that lines of responsibility and accountability are clear" by placing authority in the Fed's hands.

Critics who wonder about the wisdom of the move say the Fed failed to use its authority to address loose lending practices and the housing bubble that pushed the U.S. into a recession. The Fed responded aggressively after the crisis began, but some argue those actions were overly secretive.

A movement is spreading in Congress to force the Fed to disclose the identity of institutions that borrow from the bank, a move officials say would discourage firms from seeking needed emergency funds. A large group of House members is pushing to audit the Fed.

"I don't have a lot of faith in the Fed being able to handle that big a universe," said John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a group of 600 community organizations.

Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.) and House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) both said Wednesday the Fed's role is the biggest potential source of friction in the plan.

Mr. Dodd said there is well-founded concern the Fed's responsibility for monetary policy, including setting interest rates, could conflict with its role monitoring systemic risk. Fed officials have said they can handle multiple responsibilities. "There's not a lot of confidence in the Fed at this point, and I'm stating the obvious," Mr. Dodd said.

Mr. Frank said most of Mr. Obama's proposals reflect a broad consensus on Capitol Hill. But "the interplay between the Fed and the rest of the regulators on systemic risk" will be a thorny issue.

Some lawmakers want an interagency council, another feature of the plan, to have greater responsibility for systemic risk, and the authority to act. Obama administration officials believe a committee approach would allow problems at financial institutions to fester without a clear regulator responsible for addressing them.

"How much power the Fed is going to have is going to be probably one of the most controversial issues about this plan," said Robert Litan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. He said he thinks the Fed's role in the new regulatory framework is likely to be changed by lawmakers.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner reiterated the administration's determination to make the Fed the systemic regulator. "I do not believe there is a plausible alternative," he told reporters.

Fed officials said they took action throughout the financial crisis because the central bank was often the only institution with the power to prevent turmoil. The regulatory overhaul would provide a mechanism for the government to unwind failing nonbank financial institutions, freeing the Fed of the need to act. The central bank has also taken steps to release details about its lending programs.

Despite a major conceptual change in the Fed's role, central bank officials believe perhaps only a handful of additional firms would fall under their supervision. They are also expected to make a case to keep the Fed's consumer-protection responsibility -- with some tweaks -- instead of giving up that role entirely, as envisioned under the plan.

The regulatory overhaul proposed by the Bush administration last year also would have given the Fed responsibility for financial stability. But that plan would have removed its role of supervising banks. Fed officials quietly objected, saying it would be hard to guard against systemic risks without also performing routine bank examinations. The proposal gained little traction amid an escalating financial crisis.

The Obama proposal would require the central bank to seek approval from the Treasury secretary before invoking emergency lending powers. It also calls for the Fed to work with the Treasury and outside experts to review the Fed's structure and governance, including the role of the regional Fed banks. A report due by Oct. 1 would be used to propose changes to the Fed's structure "to improve its accountability and its capacity to achieve its statutory responsibilities."

Time for 'new world order': Brazilian President

The global financial crisis has reduced the differences between nations and created the opportunity to form a new world order, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday.

Speaking after a meeting with Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev in the Kazakh capital Astana, Lula called on the global community to seize on the crisis to create a fairer world for developing nations.

"I want to say that before the crisis, there were many countries which had greater significance than others, and some countries which had no significance at all," he said through a translator.

"After the crisis, everyone has become similar. We have the possibility to create a new world order and together we should improve our relations."

Lula arrived in Kazakhstan Wednesday following the first-ever summit between fellow developing economic powerhouses Russia, India and China -- together with Brazil dubbed the BRIC nations -- in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.

Nazarbayev, head of Central Asia's largest economy, is keen to secure a larger role for his government in world affairs.

Following up on Lula's call, the pair said in a statement following their meeting that the United Nations should open up the UN Security Council to developing nations in an effort to bolster global security.

They said that opening the organisation, which only has five permanent members, to wider membership was the only way to make the often-criticised body "more legitimate and effective."

WHO declares first 21st century flu pandemic

It is now official, we are at level 6! The birds are chirping that there's going to be big outbreak this fall and vaccinations will be mandatory. We'll see what happens...

Federal quarantine authority is limited to diseases listed in presidential executive orders; President Bush added "novel" forms of influenza with the potential to create pandemics in Executive Order 13375. Anyone violating a quarantine order can be punished by a $250,000 fine and a one-year prison term.

* Virus is causing moderate disease

* Phase 6 means spread is inevitable

* WHO urges countries to finish seasonal vaccines

* 109 deaths from new flu strain in Mexico (Adds comments from Mexican official)

By Jonathan Lynn

GENEVA, June 11 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization declared an influenza pandemic on Thursday and advised governments to prepare for a long-term battle against an unstoppable new flu virus.

The United Nations agency raised its pandemic flu alert to phase 6 on a six-point scale, indicating the first influenza pandemic since 1968 is under way.

"With today's announcement, WHO moves from an emergency to a longer-term response. Based on past experience, this pandemic will be with us for some months, if not years, to come," WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said in a letter to staff, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.

People aged 30-50, pregnant women or people suffering from chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes or obesity are at highest risk, Chan told a news conference.

The virus has killed 109 people in Mexico, where it was first detected in April before spreading to the rest of the world, prompting the Mexican government to temporarily shut schools and businesses in an effort to slow its spread.

Countries from Australia to Chile to the United States are reporting that the new swine flu virus is "crowding out" seasonal flu, becoming the predominant influenza strain, she said.

For now the virus was "pretty stable," but Chan warned that it could still change into a more deadly form, perhaps mixing with the H5N1 bird flu virus circulating widely in poultry.

"So it is incumbent on WHO and all members to stay vigilant and alert for the next year or two or even beyond," she said.

Mexican health minister Jose Angel Cordova said on Thursday the virus was under control in Mexico but warned there could be a new spike in cases later this year.

There is also a risk the swine flu could mix with its seasonal H1N1 cousin, which has developed resistance to the main antiviral flu drug Tamiflu, made by Roche AG (ROG.VX) and Gilead Sciences Inc (GILD.O), Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told a briefing. [ID:nN11441504]

The United States has been operating on pandemic status for weeks, with hundreds of thousands of cases and at least 1,000 hospitalizations, Schuchat said.

GUARDING AGAINST 'RASH' ACTIONS

The virus disproportionately makes younger people sick. Some 57 percent of U.S. cases were among people aged 5 to 24, and 41 percent of those hospitalized were in this younger age group.

H1N1 is active in all 50 states and there are so many cases now that in some areas, patients with specific flu-like symptoms -- a fever above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C), cough or other respiratory symptoms -- are presumed to have the new virus.

WHO reiterated its advice to its 193 member countries not to close borders or impose travel restrictions to halt the movement of people, goods and services, a call echoed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. [ID:nN11183745]

"We must guard against rash and discriminatory actions such as travel bans or trade restrictions," Ban told a news conference at U.N. headquarters.

The move to phase 6 reflects the fact that the disease, widely known as swine flu, is spreading geographically, but does not indicate how virulent it is.

Widespread transmission of the virus in Australia, signaling that it is entrenched in another region besides North America, was one of the key triggers for moving to phase 6.

"We are satisfied that this virus is spreading to a number of countries and it is not stoppable," Chan said.

"Moving to pandemic phase 6 level does not imply we will see an increase in the number of deaths or very severe cases. Quite on the contrary. Many people are having mild disease, they recover without medicines in some cases and it is good news," she said.

"Although the pandemic appears to have moderate severity in comparatively well-off countries, it is prudent to anticipate a bleaker picture as the virus spreads to areas with limited resources, poor health care, and a high prevalence of underlying medical problems," she added.

Canadian health officials said they were concerned about reports of more severe symptoms in some aboriginal communities, but said it was too soon to say for sure.

"To make conclusions based on a couple of communities that this is somehow a disease that is worse in a particular ethnic group. It's much too early to make any of those kinds of conclusions or presumptions," said Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health officer. [ID:nN11519995]

VACCINE DEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY

Chan said WHO would start distributing a further donation of 5.65 million courses of Tamiflu from Roche. [ID:nWLA6461]

WHO recommended drugmakers stay on track to complete production of seasonal influenza vaccine for the Northern Hemisphere's next winter. Each year, normal flu kills up to 500,000 people and infects millions.

Work on developing an H1N1 vaccine is already under way at leading companies, whose factories will be ready to switch to making a pandemic shot in around two weeks' time, when normal season flu vaccine production is complete. [ID:nLB16505]

Seasonal flu affects mainly the elderly and causes severe illness in millions, so a premature switch in vaccine production to cope with the new strain could put many people at risk.

"So our recommendation is they need to finish the seasonal vaccine and then move over," Chan said.

Chan said the Geneva-based agency would work with regulatory authorities to help fast-track approval of new pandemic vaccines that are safe and effective so that they can be made available as soon as possible.

In any case, the first doses would only be available in September, she added.

A pandemic could cause enormous disruption to business as workers stay home because they are sick or to look after family members and authorities restrict gatherings of large numbers of people or movement of people or goods.

World markets shrugged off the pandemic, as investors focused on possible global economic recovery.

The strain has spread widely, with 28,774 infections confirmed in 74 countries to date, including 144 deaths, according to WHO's latest tally of laboratory-confirmed cases. The United States has said tests only turn up a fraction of the true number of cases.

Will America Make It?

By Z

The rationale "America has pulled through in the past and it will do it again because we are the great USA", does not apply anymore. Many things have changed.


Will America make it? Let's look at history and some modern examples to tackle this question. We all know England ruled the world before WWI. America was nowhere to be seen. Most European countries were more powerful than we were. After the war we had a bad economy, poor standard of living, 25% unemployment rates, tax went from 25% to 91%. How did we pull through the great depression? We bombed all of the manufacturing capabilities in Japan and Germany. The Germans bombed everything in Russia, France, England...etc. After the war, guess which country was not bombed? That's right, America. We had plants and the largest capacity to manufacture goods. We became the world's largest exporter of goods manufactured here in the US of A. We made stuff! This is the reason why we became a superpower....and having the atomic bomb helped a little bit too I might add.

We don't make anything anymore...it's all done oversees and we import everything. Also, work is outsourced. American never outsourced back then. Many immigrants who live here, leech off of us. They come here illegally to work, don't spend their money in American stores, but in stores owned by people from their culture. Most of the money they make, they send back home to their families in their native country. They don't put money back into the economy. Everything is going out and there's nothing coming back in. Now I have nothing against immigration because my parents were immigrants. But they followed the rules and came here legally.

There was also no personal debt during the great depression. We all know how bad the personal debt problem is now. The average American owes $10,000. During my financial consulting years, I've seen how bad the debt problem is. My clients on the average were between $45,000 and $200,000 in personal debt, not including mortgages.

Let's talk about the dollar. It has no value anymore! We were on the gold standard back then and now we print monopoly money. More and more of it. The more we print, the less it's worth. Nobody wants to accept our currency abroad anymore. It's unstable and greatly devalued. The government is already bankrupt, it has gone bust! At the G20 in April, The World Bank, The IMF, NATO, China, Russia and other countries all called for a new international currency. To replace the dollar! ! Our Secretary of Treasury, Timothy Geitner, said he was not opposed to the idea.

Borders. If we are so scared of Terrorists in America, then why don't we protect our borders? Won't the Terrorists find out about that and get in? Our government doesn't care about borders. Duh! It wants to erase our borders...that's why not a single presidential candidate mentioned the border issue this past election, except for Ron Paul. NAFTA, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and the printing of the Amero are huge steps toward a North American Union. Even Mexico's president, Vicente Fox, confirmed on Larry King that this will happen down the road. Lou Dobbs has also been talking about this issue extensively. It's laughable!

These issues alone scream loss of sovereignty and the end of America.

I highly recommend everyone to study and closely pay attention to the groups and societies that make these decisions. This whole left vs right paradigm is all a smoke screen. It doesn't matter who the president is, unless it's Ron Paul or a third party that's not connected to these special interest groups and is there for the people and the people only. If you really want to understand what's going on, Research The Bilderberg group, The Trilateral Commission, The Council on Foreign Relations. These are all globalist societies that form the ruling elite. Everyone from the highest levels of governments all around the world. Presidents, Prime Ministers, Banking Families, Corporate Moguls and other whistleblowers. Research what their goals are and what steps they want to do to reach those goals. It's not a conspiracy anymore by any means...there's plenty of legitimate and credible information out there for people who want to know.

This country is in major trouble and I don't think it will make it unless people get off Fantasy Island and wake up.

I want to be optimistic of our country making it too, but the reality is very sobering and quite contrary.

Ding Ding, here is your wake up call!

Corporate Bribery and Fraud...you gotta love it!

These gigantic companies all committed major illegal acts of bribery and fraud and nobody went to jail. The corporation just paid the F I N E and the people responsible got off scott free.

Gotta love the power of the corporate entity that protects you no matter what. THERES NO CONSEQUENCE !

Billionaire club in bid to curb overpopulation

America's richest people meet to discuss ways of tackling a 'disastrous' environmental, social and industrial threatJohn Harlow, Los Angeles
SOME of America’s leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population and speed up improvements in health and education.

The philanthropists who attended a summit convened on the initiative of Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, discussed joining forces to overcome political and religious obstacles to change.

Described as the Good Club by one insider it included David Rockefeller Jr, the patriarch of America’s wealthiest dynasty, Warren Buffett and George Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and the media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey.

These members, along with Gates, have given away more than £45 billion since 1996 to causes ranging from health programmes in developing countries to ghetto schools nearer to home.

They gathered at the home of Sir Paul Nurse, a British Nobel prize biochemist and president of the private Rockefeller University, in Manhattan on May 5. The informal afternoon session was so discreet that some of the billionaires’ aides were told they were at “security briefings”.

Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, said the summit was unprecedented. “We only learnt about it afterwards, by accident. Normally these people are happy to talk good causes, but this is different – maybe because they don’t want to be seen as a global cabal,” he said.

Some details were emerging this weekend, however. The billionaires were each given 15 minutes to present their favourite cause. Over dinner they discussed how they might settle on an “umbrella cause” that could harness their interests.

The issues debated included reforming the supervision of overseas aid spending to setting up rural schools and water systems in developing countries. Taking their cue from Gates they agreed that overpopulation was a priority.

This could result in a challenge to some Third World politicians who believe contraception and female education weaken traditional values.

Gates, 53, who is giving away most of his fortune, argued that healthier families, freed from malaria and extreme poverty, would change their habits and have fewer children within half a generation.

At a conference in Long Beach, California, last February, he had made similar points. “Official projections say the world’s population will peak at 9.3 billion [up from 6.6 billion today] but with charitable initiatives, such as better reproductive healthcare, we think we can cap that at 8.3 billion,” Gates said then.

Patricia Stonesifer, former chief executive of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which gives more than £2 billion a year to good causes, attended the Rockefeller summit. She said the billionaires met to “discuss how to increase giving” and they intended to “continue the dialogue” over the next few months.

Another guest said there was “nothing as crude as a vote” but a consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat.

“This is something so nightmarish that everyone in this group agreed it needs big-brain answers,” said the guest. “They need to be independent of government agencies, which are unable to head off the disaster we all see looming.”

Why all the secrecy? “They wanted to speak rich to rich without worrying anything they said would end up in the newspapers, painting them as an alternative world government,” he said.
