Navy's terrorist barrier sunk by mussels

Halifax navy battles wood-eating organism

Security fences on the way for Halifax, Esquimalt The orange security fence designed to protect the docked navy ships hasn't proved durable. (CBC)A floating barrier designed to foil terrorist attacks and protect Canadian navy ships cannot handle the rigours of Halifax harbour.

The 1.6-kilometre fence has been dismantled because it was weighed down by mussels and kelp and battered by waves.

"It's definitely a tricky spot," said Dennis Smith, CEO of Whispr Wave, a New Jersey company that has built similar floating fences for navies around the world.

The orange fence acted as a first line of defence for the destroyers and frigates docked near downtown Halifax, thwarting potential attacks from small boats carrying explosives. Its hard plastic teeth jutted 1.5 metres into the air.

In 2006, when the floating fence was announced, the navy said it would cost about $3.5 million. Installation of the boom began a year later.

Smith said the barrier along the Halifax waterfront was under-engineered from the start.

"It's just constant 24/7-365 pounding of the product," he told CBC News.

The navy declined an interview about the floating fence. In a statement, a spokesman said the boom has been removed for scheduled maintenance and would be reinstalled at some point.

"The boom is one of the force protection tools in our toolbox. [Its] employment is adjusted as required based on our needs at any particular time. Now is a good time to conduct planned maintenance such as this," said spokesman Mike Bonin.

But a source told CBC News that only small sections of the fence would be deployed to protect visiting U.S. navy ships, as security for Canadian navy ships isn't considered as pressing.

The Internet Sucks

Hackers Are Everywhere. Panic!
July 7th, 2011

Via: PC Magazine:

I think the number of recent hacks and the amount of news coverage on these attacks is suspicious. Could they be false flag events to help the government regulate the Internet?

…

Out of the blue, Citigroup was hacked, then the CIA, and then the FBI and other groups were hacked. Now I’m finding this a little odd and wondering who is being set up here. Supposedly, some of the hacks of government agencies stem from the arrest of a few hackers in Europe. This is an attempt to make the hackers appear to be online versions of Hezbollah, as there are retaliatory attacks reported. You know, the way terrorists would do it.

It’s all possible, but I’m suspicious of the whole scene. These hackers, who are normally casual in their approach, are made to look like bomb throwing Trotskyites from the 1920s, each wielding a Molotov cocktail and out to overthrow the government.

This above mental image, of course, is for public benefit. By making any one of these hackers appear to be a horrendous threat to public safety, a number of initiatives can be rushed through Congress. All sorts of onerous laws will be passed, which probably will not affect the scene at all but will allow more government intrusion into the Internet. It will become illegal to sell any programming tools that can be used by a hacker, despite the usefulness of these tools to security experts. It will also become a felony to attempt to deconstruct a password or enter a system for whatever reason.

I have predicted for years that at some point people are going to have to be registered and licensed to use the Internet at all. You can see it coming as clear as day. These hackers, of course, have to be stopped, and this is how they’ll do it.

World War Nears After Vatican-Knights Templar Talks Fail

By: Sorcha Faal

A shocking report prepared by the Russian General Staff to President Medvedev is warning today that World War III is “all but inevitable” after the Knights Templar spurned an initial payment offer of over €22.5 million against their €100 billion claim for the return of their seized assets filed in Spain against Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.

At the outset of our reporting on this dire Russian General Staff report it is imperative that the reader understand that their knowledge of truthful history is woefully inadequate to incorporate the facts herein stated, but by following the links we’ve included should give one the ability to ascertain its veracity. On the other hand, should any reader fail to follow-up our report by their own independent verification, the catastrophic events now unfolding will certainly come as the greatest shock of their lives.

As a most basic of primers we suggest that the reader of this report first read our May 8th report “Knights Templar Prepare To Unite US-Iran For ‘Final’ World Battle” and our May 16th report “Obama Gives ‘Sacrifice’ To Ancient ‘Sun God’ Of Mound Builders”. Though not containing all of the information one would need to thoroughly understand this report, one should be able to grasp the larger issues involved for their further studies.

Now the titanic battle currently underway in this century’s long war between the Knights Templar and the Vatican began in August, 2008 when this secretive, but very powerful, religious order filed a suit in Spain against Pope Benedict XVI for the return of the assets seized from them in 1307 by Pope Clement V that included more than 9,000 properties as well as countless pastures, mills and other commercial ventures and estimated to be worth today over €100 billion .

The main basis of the Knights Templar suit against Pope Benedict XVI was information contained in what is called the Chinon Parchment discovered in the Vatican archives proving that Pope Clement V secretly absolved the last Grand Master Jacques de Molay and the rest of the leadership of the Knights Templar from charges brought against them by the Medieval Inquisition. [The parchment is dated Chinon, 1308 August 17 - 20th; the Vatican keeps an authentic copy with reference number Archivum Arcis Armarium D 218, the original having the number D 217]

Spearheading the Knights Templar suit against Pope Benedict XVI was their UNESCO recognized branch located in Switzerland named the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani, though this Russian General Staff reports the American “factions” of this order was the main cause behind this unprecedented attack on the Vatican.

In early September, 2008, this report continues, the Vatican filed a counter-claim against the Knights Templar’s suit in Spain seeking its dismissal, which was denied and set off the current global economic crisis after the Knights Templar began a ‘wholesale’ withdrawal of billions, if not trillions, of their hidden assets from both American and European banks causing many of them to collapse.

By June, 2009, the collapse of the global banking system was nearing catastrophic proportions that even the might of the United States could not forestall and leading the new US President, Barack Obama, to ‘order’ the Vatican to the negotiating table with the Knights Templar that he would personally oversee during his July, 2009 meeting with Pope Benedict XVI.

Obama further ordered to the negotiating table between the Vatican and Knights Templar a “secured payment” against the religious orders claim against Pope Benedict XVI of $134 billion in US Treasury Bonds in a move he believed would quell the growing crisis.

Unfortunately for Obama, however, the $134 billion in US Treasury Bonds bound for the meeting between Pope Benedict XVI and the Knights Templar were seized on 15 June under orders from the Vatican by Italian police and prosecutors and the two Japanese Jesuit couriers carrying the 249 US Federal Reserve bonds, each worth $500 million, plus the ten Kennedy bonds with face values of $1 billion were arrested too.

This report says that Pope Benedict XVI used his “$134 billion leverage” over Obama to gain for Rome an additional seat on the US Supreme Court, which the Vatican was successful in maneuvering when shortly after Obama’s return to the US (August, 2009) he appointed Roman Catholic Sonia Sotomayor to the High Court thus assuring Rome’s control over all US laws. [Note: in the Protestant majority US, its Supreme Court contains 6 Roman Catholics (Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, Alito, Sotomayor) and 3 Jews (Ginsberg, Breyer, Kagan)]

Important to note is this report further stating that besides Rome’s control over all American laws trough its “ownership” of the Supreme Court, the “defacto” US President is, in fact, its Jesuit “trained and controlled” Vice President Joseph Biden whose orders come directly from the German Nazi trained Pope Benedict XVI. [Note: No single Roman Catholic official was more responsible the Pope Benedict XVI for the massive global cover-up of child molestation by the Church.]

Obama, however, this report continues, is not without his own allies as aside from Persian Iran; he is, also, supported by “certain elements” associated with the Knights Templar long-embedded within the US Military establishment along with many factions associated with former Soviet and present day Communists.

Using these “allies”, this report says, and after being betrayed by Pope Benedict XVI, Obama’s communist allies in Italy launched a “counter-attack” on the Vatican by having the assets of the Catholic Church’s Institute for Religious Works (IOR) seized and their top bankers put under investigation in September, 2010.

Important to note about the IOR (mistakenly referred to as The Vatican Bank) was it’s creation on 27 June 1942 by Pope Pius XII shortly after the 4-7 June 1942 Battle of Midway where American forces delivered a crushing blow against the Roman Catholic led Japanese Empire ensuring the defeat of the Axis Forces at the hands of the Capitalist West and Communist East and a blow to the Vatican’s centuries long goal of establishing their “Global Plutocracy”. [Note: The term plutocracy is generally used to describe these two distinct concepts: one of a historical nature and one of a modern political nature. The former indicates the political control of the state by an oligarchy of the wealthy. Examples of such plutocracies include the Roman Republic, some city-states in Ancient Greece, the civilization of Carthage, the Italian city-states/merchant republics of Venice, Florence, Genoa, and pre-WWII Empire of Japan zaibatsus.]

This past week, however, and after “strident pleas” from the European Union whose economies are all crashing, Obama and his allies relented and allowed the release of $33 million in seized IOR funds to be paid to the Knights Templar as a “goodwill gesture” while negotiations continue, but which, this report says, this religious order refused as “all trust” between these warring entities have “completely and irrevocably” been broken.

All that is left now, Russia’s top generals and strategists warn, is Total Global War on an “unimaginable scale” that can only be described in the most apocalyptic of terms envisioned by the Christian Bibles Book of Revelation end-time battle when the forces of Gog and Magog, along with their Arab state allies, attack Israel.

Even more grimly, Russia’s General Staff in this report further warns that the Motherland will “more than likely” have to, once again, come to the defense of the United States like she did in protecting America from its European enemies during the Civil War of 1861-1865. [Note: Unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans, the alliance between President Abraham Lincoln and Russian Tsar Alexander II saved North America from French and British invasion on the side of the Confederates when the Motherland sent her vast fleet to protect them from the thousands of amassed troops assembled for a US invasion from Canada (British) and Mexico (France).]

To the only apparent hope left for America in this coming Global Conflict appears to lie in the 2012 Presidential contenders Mitt Romney and John Huntsman, both of whom are of the Mormon religion, and as we detailed in our January 2nd report “2012 ‘White Horse Prophecy’ Warned Is Coming True In America” remain the only power left in America to counter Rome and its allies seeking the destruction of the United States.

Interesting to note about the Mormon religions ties with the Knights Templar Order are the many legends that the “golden plates” discovered by their founder Joseph Smith Jr. and that began their religious order were, in fact, those discovered by the Knights Templar when they conquered Jerusalem.

Even more interesting to note about all of these events were their being predicted with the 1912 publication in the US of the ex-Roman Catholic priest Jeremiah Crowley’s book “Romanism: A Menace to the Nation” wherein he laid plain for all to see how the Vatican planned to destroy the United States and the Western world….by the year…2012. [Note: This link to Father Crowley’s book goes to the complete 714 page version digitalized by the University of Southern California.]

Most unfortunate in all of this report is how few American people even have the knowledge of their own past history to comprehend it and put it into context, leaving for them, instead, a future that is, and will remain, totally incomprehensible to them as they slide ever closer to the abyss.

May 10, 2011

(NaturalNews) Several Japanese are crying out about what is going on in Japan. Hirose Takashi is telling us that, "The nuclear power plants in Japan are aging rapidly; like cyborgs, they are barely kept in operation by a continuous replacement of parts. And now that Japan has entered a period of earthquake activity and a major accident could happen at any time, the people live in constant state of anxiety."

Toshiso Kosako, a University of Tokyo professor, that has been employed since mid-March as a nuclear advisor to the government of Prime Minister Naoto Kan in Japan, quit with disgust at what the government and nuclear industry is doing to the children. In his April 29 resignation, Kosako blinked back tears and accused the Japanese leadership of ignoring his advice on how to handle the nuclear crisis, particularly the setting of radiation limits for schools. Kosako even charged that the government had not fully complied with the law in its response to the nuclear disaster. "There is no point for me to be here," Kosako said in a tense press conference.

Click here to see the video about radiation test in North Carolina.

I climbed this mountain in North Carolina with Dutch right after publishing "Beyond the Door" on Monday. Even after all the devastating information I have been publishing about the nuclear disaster, I was shaken. It is not easy to understand the implications and follow the math of what is happening in the northern hemisphere but let's try.

One can go absolutely crazy trying to track and understand units of radioactivity and by the end of this article I hope to have made it comprehensible. Fortunately for me physics was my favorite subject and I did teach a semester of it in a technical college many years ago in Maine. So confusing though are the many different units that even for me the challenge is daunting. (Actually I will get around to a physics lecture in another essay.)

Bottom Line: Ten-thousand terabecquerels (10,000,000,000,000,000 becquerels) of radioactive substances will be released into the atmosphere from the plant during the coming three months, according to simple calculations based on the estimated emission rate as of April 5. It is now safe to assume that there will be a lot of radiation circling at high altitudes and all that stuff is going to come down everywhere eventually, especially when it rains or snows. Where is all this radiation coming from?

Amounts of radiation as far as 60km from the Fukushmia nuclear power plant have measured far above the levels measured in Chernobyl. Dr. Chris Busby

"I've been studying overhead photographs of Fukushima. It is very disturbing," said Robert Alvarez, formerly a senior policy adviser at the Energy Department under Clinton. "The steel wall of the pool seems to show damage. All the surrounding equipment, including the two cranes, has been destroyed. There is smoke coming from reactor No. 3, and steam coming from the spent-fuel pool next to it. That indicates that the water in the pool is boiling.

"And that means the spent-fuel rods are getting hot and could start burning. If the rods start to burn, huge amounts of radioactive material would be released into the atmosphere and would disperse across the northern hemisphere. Unlike the reactors, spent-fuel pools are not -- I repeat not -- housed in any sort of hardened or sealed containment structures. Rather, the fuel rods are packed tightly together in pools of water that are often several stories above ground..." continued Alvarez.

Dr. Chris Busby said that three spent-fuel pools have burned, which he calculates puts the radiation levels at 24,000 Hiroshimas x 3 spent-fuel pools, or 72,000 times the radiation of Hiroshima now in the atmosphere. This amount represents only that from the spent-fuel pools. Radiation will continue to escape from the reactors until entombed. Perhaps it would have been better if we had fought a limited nuclear war instead!

What's the official story? Radioactive levels were about 250 times higher than a month before. TEPCO said the levels of caesium-134 and -137 increased about 250-fold and iodine-131 increased about 12 times compared with one month ago, after the accident had already happened. The water level in the No. 4 reactor's turbine building rose by 20 centimeters in 10 days. TEPCO has detected 8,100 becquerels of caesium-137 and 7,800 becquerels of caesium-134 per cubic centimeter in the water in the turbine building's basement. The utility company said on Tuesday the 26th of April that the water level in the tunnel of the No. 3 reactor rose by 10 centimeters over three days.

Of course all this radiation at the plant is hampering work to bring the accident under control. If trends continue it might easily become impossible to approach the plant, meaning the chances of ever getting the disaster under control are decreasing with each passing week.

Most of us are in shock -- the consequences are so dramatic and will be with us for so long it is beyond most people's psychological capacity to deal with the full reality, and governments are happy to assist in ensuring that we stay in our comfort, not panic, zone.

We are in the middle of a planet-changing historic event that has extinction of life written all over it, and the best evidence we have of this is actually seen in the complete censorship of hard facts about this nuclear disaster by the media and our government.

Click here to see the video.

Everyone should watch this video at least twice. Dr. Chris Busby is the number one most trusted scientist in the world on this and the implications are stupendous. This is so bad that they cannot talk about it in the media at all and that's exactly what they are doing, not talking at all.

When Busby says this is a serious matter, he is meaning serious in terms of life and death. I have friends in Hawaii and many on the west coast in California and they all have front-row seats to the open nuclear furnaces in Japan. I wish I was allowed to start cursing in public, meaning my language would turn fowl right at this very particular point.

Plutonium goes up into the air in huge explosion and we hear nothing of it? Where is the plutonium story? Where did it go or is it going into the lungs of millions in the northern hemisphere as we speak? They might as well have pulled up front-row seats as when people actually watched the atomic bomb blasts!

The Plutonium Angel of Death

Plutonium represents certain death; it is death, concentrated in nuclear form. Riders of death come swooping down from the upper air currents on plutonium steeds and just one tiny particle of it has a deadly effect if it touches down anywhere inside of human or beast. But don't worry about this and do what your governments want you to do. They want you to proceed with your life as if everything is normal. And while you do, they want you to spend and borrow and do anything you can to keep the deteriorating economy and financial system from collapsing altogether. The last thing they want you to know is that an alien race of nuclear super particles called plutonium are gathering and scattering around the world like Hun Hordes. We have this going on already with mercury and other heavy metals and chemicals; now the toxic soup on our planet is going nuclear in a big way and it will continue that way into an increasingly toxic and frightening future. We have just had another disaster on day 11 and it has already changed the world in a very dirty and nuclear direction.

I really hope I am coming in loud and clear. Geiger counters measure decays but they do not tell you what kinds of particles are decaying. It is confusing, it is invisible and not even our Geiger counters tell us the whole story of increasing dangers that surround us. Anyone who thinks life is going to be the same on our planet with multiple open nuclear sores ripping apart the soft skin of our ecology and physiology is mistaken.

Nuclear harm happens in ultra slow motion. Yes it can happen in days, weeks and months to a few but the harm to the many happens in the years and decades that follow. We don't look down and see that we are now sterile until we cannot participate in a conception. Cancer does not start between one day and the next. But these days tornadoes do.

Nature Threatens

Deadly tornado outbreaks are attacking the underbelly of America, killing and destroying many and much. Yesterday the storms dealt a severe blow to the Tennessee Valley Authority on Wednesday, causing three nuclear reactors in Alabama to shut down, knocking out 11 high-voltage power lines, the utility and regulators said. All three units at TVA's 3,274-megawatt Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Alabama tripped about 5:30 EDT (2230 GMT) after losing outside power to the plant, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency said.

The earth is literally blowing its top (volcanic activity) and we are already threatened with intense cooling because of the materials being vented into the atmosphere from not one but many volcanoes coming to life. And yet geologists are hinting we have not even come close to the opening curtain where the intensifying earthquakes and eruptions come to a climax.

Click here to see the video.

The earth beneath these Japanese feet is not stable and neither is the entire world as we have just recently entered an era of dramatically increasing seismic and volcanic activity. Most of us are used to watching just about everything from our arm chairs in front of our television sets but today world events are beginning to come down just about everyone's block. If it's not flooding it is drought and fire and if it's not record-breaking temperatures in terms of heat its record-breaking cold.

Will Japan ever stop shaking? A 6.0 quake brings aftershock total to 1,071 in 43 days since the atomic disaster began. None of these quakes are bringing any rest to those who fear the breaking of one more pipe at the nuclear plant. We actually have a lot more to worry about now than ever, though the serious worrying should have started decades ago before they built nuclear plants in dangerous places all over the world.

On April 7, just one month after the 3/11 earthquake in northeastern Japan, there was a large aftershock. At the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant the electricity was shut off . The pool containing nuclear fuel and the radioactive liquid waste were (barely) cooled down by the emergency generators, meaning that Japan was brought to the brink of destruction. But the Japanese media, as usual, paid this almost no notice.

The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant is where expended nuclear fuel from all of Japan's nuclear power plants is collected, and then reprocessed so as to separate out the plutonium, the uranium, and the remaining highly radioactive liquid waste. In short, it is the most dangerous factory in the world.

At the Rokkasho plant, 240 cubic meters of radioactive liquid waste are now stored. A failure to take care of this properly could lead to a nuclear catastrophe surpassing the meltdown of a reactor. This liquid waste continuously generates heat, and must be constantly cooled. But if an earthquake were to damage the cooling pipes or cut off the electricity, the liquid would begin to boil. According to an analysis prepared by the German nuclear industry, an explosion of this facility could expose persons within a 100 kilometer radius from the plant to radiation 10 to 100 times the lethal level, which presumably means instant death.

There are many accidents waiting to happen and many happening that we are not paying close attention to like the huge oil leak now happening in the Arctic Circle.

Food Crisis is Intensifying

Since from before the nuclear crisis we were already entering a terrible disaster in terms of food security and now this month the president of the World Bank has warned that the world is "one shock away from a full-blown crisis." Robert Zoellick cited rising food prices as the main threat to poor nations who risk "losing a generation."

Prayers in Europe this Easter holiday weekend are not being heard in the heavens (or by anyone else around the world it seems) as they face serious fears over the wheat harvest, its impact on already sky-high global food prices and, of course, devastating brush fires all from the lack of rain. We are not hearing much from China but their wheat also is not coming up strongly because of drought. Texas is in real danger of burning to the ground and exploding with all the oil wells and natural gas they have all around with their worst drought in memory taking the state down.

Commodities have been going absolutely ballistic for months. Price increases in other commodities like wheat, beans, and rice, which have, for the most part, been subdued on the consumer retail side because companies were willing to take the margin compression for a while, are now becoming a painful reality. Provident Living, a huge food storage and dry goods distribution organization for the Latter Day Saints has alerted their members that prices are up from between 11% to 49% on basic food staples. The most stunning aspect of the price increases is that they have occurred not in the last year, but over the last 90 days.

Nature has suddenly turned forcibly against us and we find out we are vulnerable and nowhere more so than with the foods we depend on to live. I know most are hoping for a return to normalcy, even the Federal Reserve, which wants to stop the emergency buying of every government bond in sight. But if interest rates go up, America is finished. In fact many people feel and think it is sinking fast and one look at the landscape of municipal, city, state and federal finances tells a story of imminent collapse.

If the rods start to burn, huge amounts of radioactive material would be released into the atmosphere and would disperse across the northern hemisphere. Unlike the reactors, spent-fuel pools are not -- I repeat not -- housed in any sort of hardened or sealed containment structures. Rather, the fuel rods are packed tightly together in pools of water that are often several stories above ground..." continued Alvarez.

Dr. Chris Busby said that three spent-fuel pools have burned, which he calculates puts the radiation levels at 24,000 Hiroshimas x 3 spent-fuel pools, or 72,000 times the radiation of Hiroshima now in the atmosphere. This amount represents only that from the spent-fuel pools. Radiation will continue to escape from the reactors until entombed. Perhaps it would have been better if we had fought a limited nuclear war instead!

What's the official story? Radioactive levels were about 250 times higher than a month before. TEPCO said the levels of caesium-134 and -137 increased about 250-fold and iodine-131 increased about 12 times compared with one month ago, after the accident had already happened. The water level in the No. 4 reactor's turbine building rose by 20 centimeters in 10 days. TEPCO has detected 8,100 becquerels of caesium-137 and 7,800 becquerels of caesium-134 per cubic centimeter in the water in the turbine building's basement. The utility company said on Tuesday the 26th of April that the water level in the tunnel of the No. 3 reactor rose by 10 centimeters over three days.

Of course all this radiation at the plant is hampering work to bring the accident under control. If trends continue it might easily become impossible to approach the plant, meaning the chances of ever getting the disaster under control are decreasing with each passing week.

Most of us are in shock -- the consequences are so dramatic and will be with us for so long it is beyond most people's psychological capacity to deal with the full reality, and governments are happy to assist in ensuring that we stay in our comfort, not panic, zone.

We are in the middle of a planet-changing historic event that has extinction of life written all over it, and the best evidence we have of this is actually seen in the complete censorship of hard facts about this nuclear disaster by the media and our government.

Everyone should watch this video at least twice. Dr. Chris Busby is the number one most trusted scientist in the world on this and the implications are stupendous. This is so bad that they cannot talk about it in the media at all and that's exactly what they are doing, not talking at all.

When Busby says this is a serious matter, he is meaning serious in terms of life and death. I have friends in Hawaii and many on the west coast in California and they all have front-row seats to the open nuclear furnaces in Japan. I wish I was allowed to start cursing in public, meaning my language would turn fowl right at this very particular point.

Plutonium goes up into the air in huge explosion and we hear nothing of it? Where is the plutonium story? Where did it go or is it going into the lungs of millions in the northern hemisphere as we speak? They might as well have pulled up front-row seats as when people actually watched the atomic bomb blasts!

The Plutonium Angel of Death

Plutonium represents certain death; it is death, concentrated in nuclear form. Riders of death come swooping down from the upper air currents on plutonium steeds and just one tiny particle of it has a deadly effect if it touches down anywhere inside of human or beast. But don't worry about this and do what your governments want you to do. They want you to proceed with your life as if everything is normal. And while you do, they want you to spend and borrow and do anything you can to keep the deteriorating economy and financial system from collapsing altogether. The last thing they want you to know is that an alien race of nuclear super particles called plutonium are gathering and scattering around the world like Hun Hordes. We have this going on already with mercury and other heavy metals and chemicals; now the toxic soup on our planet is going nuclear in a big way and it will continue that way into an increasingly toxic and frightening future. We have just had another disaster on day 11 and it has already changed the world in a very dirty and nuclear direction.

I really hope I am coming in loud and clear. Geiger counters measure decays but they do not tell you what kinds of particles are decaying. It is confusing, it is invisible and not even our Geiger counters tell us the whole story of increasing dangers that surround us. Anyone who thinks life is going to be the same on our planet with multiple open nuclear sores ripping apart the soft skin of our ecology and physiology is mistaken.

Nuclear harm happens in ultra slow motion. Yes it can happen in days, weeks and months to a few but the harm to the many happens in the years and decades that follow. We don't look down and see that we are now sterile until we cannot participate in a conception. Cancer does not start between one day and the next. But these days tornadoes do.

Nature Threatens

Deadly tornado outbreaks are attacking the underbelly of America, killing and destroying many and much. Yesterday the storms dealt a severe blow to the Tennessee Valley Authority on Wednesday, causing three nuclear reactors in Alabama to shut down, knocking out 11 high-voltage power lines, the utility and regulators said. All three units at TVA's 3,274-megawatt Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Alabama tripped about 5:30 EDT (2230 GMT) after losing outside power to the plant, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency said.

The earth is literally blowing its top (volcanic activity) and we are already threatened with intense cooling because of the materials being vented into the atmosphere from not one but many volcanoes coming to life. And yet geologists are hinting we have not even come close to the opening curtain where the intensifying earthquakes and eruptions come to a climax.

Click here to see the video.

The earth beneath these Japanese feet is not stable and neither is the entire world as we have just recently entered an era of dramatically increasing seismic and volcanic activity. Most of us are used to watching just about everything from our arm chairs in front of our television sets but today world events are beginning to come down just about everyone's block. If it's not flooding it is drought and fire and if it's not record-breaking temperatures in terms of heat its record-breaking cold.

Will Japan ever stop shaking? A 6.0 quake brings aftershock total to 1,071 in 43 days since the atomic disaster began. None of these quakes are bringing any rest to those who fear the breaking of one more pipe at the nuclear plant. We actually have a lot more to worry about now than ever, though the serious worrying should have started decades ago before they built nuclear plants in dangerous places all over the world.

On April 7, just one month after the 3/11 earthquake in northeastern Japan, there was a large aftershock. At the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant the electricity was shut off . The pool containing nuclear fuel and the radioactive liquid waste were (barely) cooled down by the emergency generators, meaning that Japan was brought to the brink of destruction. But the Japanese media, as usual, paid this almost no notice.

The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant is where expended nuclear fuel from all of Japan's nuclear power plants is collected, and then reprocessed so as to separate out the plutonium, the uranium, and the remaining highly radioactive liquid waste. In short, it is the most dangerous factory in the world.

At the Rokkasho plant, 240 cubic meters of radioactive liquid waste are now stored. A failure to take care of this properly could lead to a nuclear catastrophe surpassing the meltdown of a reactor. This liquid waste continuously generates heat, and must be constantly cooled. But if an earthquake were to damage the cooling pipes or cut off the electricity, the liquid would begin to boil. According to an analysis prepared by the German nuclear industry, an explosion of this facility could expose persons within a 100 kilometer radius from the plant to radiation 10 to 100 times the lethal level, which presumably means instant death.

There are many accidents waiting to happen and many happening that we are not paying close attention to like the huge oil leak now happening in the Arctic Circle.

Food Crisis is Intensifying

Since from before the nuclear crisis we were already entering a terrible disaster in terms of food security and now this month the president of the World Bank has warned that the world is "one shock away from a full-blown crisis." Robert Zoellick cited rising food prices as the main threat to poor nations who risk "losing a generation."

Prayers in Europe this Easter holiday weekend are not being heard in the heavens (or by anyone else around the world it seems) as they face serious fears over the wheat harvest, its impact on already sky-high global food prices and, of course, devastating brush fires all from the lack of rain. We are not hearing much from China but their wheat also is not coming up strongly because of drought. Texas is in real danger of burning to the ground and exploding with all the oil wells and natural gas they have all around with their worst drought in memory taking the state down.

Commodities have been going absolutely ballistic for months. Price increases in other commodities like wheat, beans, and rice, which have, for the most part, been subdued on the consumer retail side because companies were willing to take the margin compression for a while, are now becoming a painful reality. Provident Living, a huge food storage and dry goods distribution organization for the Latter Day Saints has alerted their members that prices are up from between 11% to 49% on basic food staples. The most stunning aspect of the price increases is that they have occurred not in the last year, but over the last 90 days.

Nature has suddenly turned forcibly against us and we find out we are vulnerable and nowhere more so than with the foods we depend on to live. I know most are hoping for a return to normalcy, even the Federal Reserve, which wants to stop the emergency buying of every government bond in sight. But if interest rates go up, America is finished. In fact many people feel and think it is sinking fast and one look at the landscape of municipal, city, state and federal finances tells a story of imminent collapse.

Radiation Sickness
Given that its founder came from a company called General Atomic it is hardly surprising that SAIC has been heavily involved in the nuclear business. One early project came in the 1970s and 80s, when SAIC received Pentagon contracts to reconstruct the amount of radiation absorbed by military personnel during atomic-bomb tests and other service-related exposures. The government's bookkeeping was so erratic from the early days of the Cold War that it was often difficult to tell how much radiation soldiers had received and whether it might have been responsible for their various cancers. When SAIC did the numbers, few veterans qualified for compensation. The Pentagon's nuclear testing was in effect off the hook, and ailing veterans were out of luck. After years of hearings, Congress in 1988 passed the Radiation-Exposed Veterans Compensation Act, which gave veterans the benefit of the doubt. It was presumed that their cancer was attributable to nuclear exposure without considering the radiation dose. By then many of the veterans were dead. A health physicist who testified later on behalf of the veterans spoke unkindly of the original SAIC work: "Atomic veterans have been deprived of benefits intended by Congress through [SAIC's] deceptive internal dose reconstructions and poor understanding of radioactive material distribution in the body." SAIC disagrees, saying that it "continues to work with the government to apply the best science to performing dose reconstruction for atomic veterans."

Periodically over the years, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, prodded by executives in the nuclear industry, have sought to ease the rules against re-using "lightly" contaminated radioactive waste. The impetus has been the inexorably growing stockpile of nuclear debris—much of it lethal—that has been accumulating at weapons sites and power plants in America for decades. One way to draw down the stockpile would be to recycle large volumes of discarded nickel, aluminum, copper, steel, and other irradiated metals into usable products. If slightly radioactive metal were combined with other metals, the resulting material could be made into all kinds of consumer items—knives and forks, baby strollers, chairs, rings, eyeglass frames, bicycles, reclining rockers, earrings, frying pans. It also could be used in construction.

Lest any of this sound improbable, in the 1980s radioactive table legs began turning up in the United States everywhere from restaurants to nursing homes. A radioactive gold ring cost a Pennsylvania man his arm. The public outcry was so great that in 1992 Congress set out to ban this form of recycling. The N.R.C., D.O.E., and nuclear industry saw the ban coming and were not happy about it, but they also saw a way out: maybe it would be possible to develop broad guidelines that would allow the contaminated waste to be recycled based on what were deemed "safe" exposure levels. Never mind that there is no such thing as a safe dose of radiation. Two months before the ban was signed into law, the N.R.C. gave the multi-million-dollar job of formulating the guidelines to an outside contractor. The contractor was SAIC.

As the years slipped by, across town, another federal agency, the Department of Energy, was handing out a $238 million contract to B.N.F.L. Inc., at that time the U.S. subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels, "to clean up and reindustrialize three massive uranium enrichment facilities" at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennessee. The agreement called for B.N.F.L. to recycle "hundreds of thousands of tons of metals." British Nuclear Fuels had a questionable track record in the nuclear industry. For decades it had dumped plutonium and other radioactive waste into the Irish Sea and the North Atlantic. Its workers had falsified critical quality-control data. When the D.O.E. announced the contract, SAIC was identified as a major subcontractor in the recycling of radioactive scrap metal.

Because the N.R.C. and the D.O.E. for some reason weren't talking to each other, the elegance of this arrangement escaped everyone's attention. To connect the dots: SAIC was writing the regulations for one government agency, the N.R.C., which would set the permissible limits of radioactive contamination for recycling, even as it partnered with another company, under contract to a different federal agency, the D.O.E., to recycle the radioactive metal for which it was drafting the regulations.

The synergy of this arrangement was discovered accidentally by a Washington lawyer, Daniel Guttman, whose longtime passion has been conflicts of interest that inevitably—purposefully—arise from government outsourcing. Guttman called attention in public hearings to what was happening, thoroughly embarrassing officials at the N.R.C. and the D.O.E. and stirring the ire of public-interest groups. The N.R.C. killed its contract with SAIC. The recycling project was put on hold. And the N.R.C. filed suit against SAIC, alleging "false and/or fraudulent representations to the effect that [SAIC] was providing services to the NRC which were free from bias." SAIC has denied the conflict-of-interest claims, and the suit is still pending.

But SAIC is by no means out of the nuclear business. It may be under a cloud at the N.R.C., but it's still a partner, with the construction giant Bechtel, in the largest nuclear project of all—the $3.1 billion effort to build a repository for America's high-level radioactive waste. The firm Bechtel SAIC is constructing the repository deep under Yucca Mountain, Nevada, where the buried waste will remain lethal for at least 10,000 years. It could provide a revenue stream for SAIC as far into the future as one can imagine.

DOES VACCINATION PREVENT SMALLPOX?
THE November Journal of Science (London) contains an interesting review of Dr. Parkin's new work "Epidemiology, or the Remote Causes of Epidemic Diseases in the Animal and Vegetable Creation," which is well worth reading. Dr. Parkin's theory is that "there occur certain 'pestilential epochs,' during which the world is at frequent intervals devastated by epidemics which travel in a determinate direction from Central or Eastern Asia to the west of Europe and even to America; that during such epochs all diseases, even those not considered as communicable from one person to another, increase in frequency and violence; that these epochs are further marked by Epizoötics and by 'blights' or widespread diseases in the vegetable world, and are attended by a general intensification of earthquakes, storms, floods, droughts, fogs, seasons of abnormal heat or cold, and other convulsions of inorganic nature. Such an epoch is generally ushered in by the appearance of new diseases, or the reappearance of maladies that had become obsolete." The last great pestilential term, Dr. Parkin thinks, began about the seventh century, and the fatal wave or current rolled westward without check to the beginning of the eighteenth century. During this time a succession of epidemics raged, among them the fearful plague or Black Death. In 1803 an epidemic of yellow fever at Malaga carried off 36,000 persons. The plague visiting London in 1665 destroyed, between the months of June and December, 20,000 persons, or one-third of the then whole population. According to Sydenham it had invaded England every thirty or forty years. In 1770 it was at Marseilles, in 1771 and 1772 at Moscow, in 1815-16 in the Neapolitan dominions. But despite its frequent challenges to medical science the best authorities have confessed that of its treatment little is known (see Am. Cyclo. XIII, 369). Nor, in fact, is anything definite known as to the causes of epidemics in general. The author of the medical articles in the Cyclopedia just named prophetically (A.D. 1859) says: "The progressive sciences of meteorology and physical geography will probably soon throw additional light upon these difficult questions." Dr. Parkin's new work comes almost as a fulfilment of this prophecy. He seems to have conclusively disposed of two pet popular theories, that of the sanitary reformers that dirt is the primal cause of epidemics, and the notion that they are propagated by contagion. Such is also the opinion of the reviewer in the Journal of Science, who admits that the historical facts mentioned by Dr. Parkin "are decidedly opposed to both." As examples he cites the facts that "the cholera has been known to travel steadily for hundreds of miles in the teeth of a strong monsoon. It often works up a river, showing that it is not occasioned by infectious matter draining into the current." And he adds significantly, "alike in epidemics of plague, cholera, and yellow-fever, it has been found that classes of people who from occupation or habit were most exposed to the air suffered most, whilst those who kept themselves shut up escaped. How ill this agrees with the teachings of the sanitary reformers!"
But we have not referred to this subject merely to show the helplessness of Western scientists in face of one of these mysterious waves of death that flow around the globe at intervals. The immediate cause is the bearing they have upon the subject of compulsory vaccination in India. We have before us an interesting public document
1 kindly sent us by the learned Dr. Leitner, President of the Government University College, Lahore. The opinion of the Anjuman upon the Bill making vaccination compulsory having been asked by the Punjab Government, that body after a sensible and temperate debate, advised against the adoption of the compulsory clause. The Hindu members especially, and Dr. Leitner himself, pointed out that if the ignorant Hindus should once learn that the vaccine lymph is obtained from ulcers on the teats of the cow, there would be a general protest, perhaps forcible resistance, to the enforcement of the Act. For, while certain products of the cow are regarded, upon the authority of Shastras, as holy, all others, including blood and its impurities are regarded as most impure and unholy. And any one who should knowingly permit either of them to enter his body in any manner, would lose caste. We are not aware what action was taken by the authorities in the premises, but if it is not too late perhaps those in charge of the subject will be interested in the following extract from the same article ("The Sanitary Millennium") in the Journal of Science:

Amongst the diseases which had become less frequent and less severe, but which have since resumed an epidemic and highly dangerous character, a prominent place is due to smallpox, especially as its alleged preventive, vaccination, has taken rank among the political questions of the day. We are told that if this disease no longer carries off its victims by tens of thousands, as in the dark ages, the change is due to vaccination. But there can be not a shadow of doubt that small-pox had begun to decline long before the discovery of Jenner was introduced into practice.
In 1722 Dr. Wagstaffe wrote that the mortality among children did not exceed 1 per cent of the cases. From 1796 to 1825 there was not a single epidemic of small-pox in England. Yet, according to a report published by the College of Physicians in 1807, only about 1½ per cent of the population were vaccinated. Now if we admit that the immunity gained by this operation is absolute and permanent, how is it possible that three vaccinated persons out of every 200 would protect the remaining 197? At the present time about 97 per cent of the population are supposed to be vaccinated. Yet so far from being able to protect the residual 3 per cent it is considered that they are imperilled by the obstinacy or neglect of this small minority. We have the lamentable fact that, whilst vaccination has become all but universal, small-pox has reappeared among us not in isolated cases but in epidemics succeeding each other at short intervals, and each more deadly than the foregoing. Thus in the epidemic of 1857-58-59 the deaths were 14,244: in that of 1863-64-65, 20,059, and in that 1870-71-72, 44,840. Thus in the first interval the deaths from this cause had increased 50 per cent, whilst the population had grown only 7 per cent. In the second interval the deaths from small-pox have risen by 120 per cent, but the population only 10 per cent. Another ugly fact is that the number of persons who have been vaccinated but who are subsequently attacked with small-pox is steadily on the increase. At the Highgate small-pox hospital from 1835 to 1851 the previously-vaccinated formed 53 per cent of the total small-pox cases admitted. In 1851-52 it rose to 66.7 per cent; in 1854-5-6 to 71.2 per cent; in 1859-60 to 72; in 1866 to 81.1 and in 1868 to 84 per cent. How are such facts to be reconciled with the orthodox theory that vaccination is a safeguard against small-pox'? What would be the conclusion formed by an unprejudiced statistician if these figures were laid before him? If a grows more common as b increases in number and general distribution no man in his senses will argue that b is a hindrance to a. The very opposite conclusion, that b is causally connected with a would seem more legitimate. How the credit of vaccination is to be saved is not apparent. We cannot cut the knot by supposing that modern medical practitioners are less careful and skilled in the performance of the operation or less scrupulous in the selection of vaccine lymph. There remains, then, merely the conclusion that small-pox, too, has had a period of cessation during the latter part of the past century and the first quarter of the present;--that the apparent success of vaccination was mainly due to its coincidence with this temporary lull, and that the disease is now rapidly regaining its old virulence and reassuming the pestilential proportions which it displayed in the days of our forefathers.
It is but fair to remark that our esteemed colleague, Dr. D.E. Dudley, President of the Bombay Theosophical Society, takes exception to the accuracy of the above statistics of mortality, and but for the exigencies of his rapidly growing practice would have added a note. Possibly he may find time to do so next month. Meanwhile let us hear from native medical practitioners, astrologers, and pandits what the Shastras have to say as to the cause of epidemics and other abnormal phenomena.

And here is another matter upon which Europe would like to be informed about by them. It is taken from Spiritual Notes (London).

According to Dr. Vincenzo Peset y Cervera the crystals of hæmoglobulin obtained from the blood of different animals have forms so distinct and characteristic that the origin of a sample of blood may thus be determined! All that is required is to mix the blood with a little bile, when crystals not exceeding 0.003 metre in size are formed in the mass. The shapes of the crystals are said to be as follows: Man, right rectangular prisms; horses, cubes; ox, rhombohedrons; sheep, rhombohedral tables; dog, rectangular prisms; rabbit, tetrahedrons; squirrel, hexagonal tables; mouse, octahedrons, &c. Commenting on these allegations the Journal of Science sagely suggests that "if they are confirmed they may serve for the solution of a most important question raised by Dr. Lionel Beale. If the theory of Evolution be true, the crystals obtained from animals which are nearly related should be either identical or such as are in form easily derived from each other. Should the hæmoglobulin crystals--e.g., of the horse and the ass, of the dog and the fox, of the rabbit and the hare, or of the rat and the mouse--belong respectively to different systems, it will supply a serious argument in favour of independent creation.

HONOLULU | Tue Mar 8, 2011 8:07pm EST

HONOLULU (Reuters) - The oldest known free-flying bird in the United States, a roughly 60-year-old albatross named Wisdom, hatched her latest chick weeks ago to become a mother again on Sand Island at Midway, wildlife officials reported on Tuesday.

The sea bird's advanced age may be double or triple the expected life span for a Laysan albatross, but biologists are still gathering information and learning about the species.

Wisdom holds the record as the oldest wild specimen documented during the 90-year history of the U.S. and Canadian bird-banding research program.

A U.S. Geological Survey scientists first tagged the bird with an aluminum identification band when she was about 5 years old in 1956 as she was incubating an egg.

Since then, the albatross has logged about 3 million flying miles, the equivalent of six round trips to the Moon.

"It's really exciting to see that these birds are long-living and still raising chicks at 60 years old or older," said John Klavitter, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, who spotted Wisdom with her chick in February.

Sand Island is the largest piece of land in the Midway Atoll, a tiny U.S. territory that lies about a third of the way between Honolulu and Tokyo in the North Pacific.

"It's a nice success story for wildlife and conservationists," Klavitter told Reuters in a telephone interview from Midway.

The chick, whose gender is unknown at present, is doing well. Wisdom and her mate are taking turns feeding it, and the young bird it will soon sport its own band, Klavitter said.

He said Wisdom has probably raised about 35 chicks during her lifetime. Her species generally mates with one partner for life and lays only one egg at a time. But scientists do not know whether Wisdom has had the same mate for all these years.

Laysan albatross breed on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, at Kaena Point, and on Kauai, at Kilauea Point. Their feeding grounds are off the west coast of North America, including the Gulf of Alaska, and they spend their first three to five years constantly flying, never touching land. Scientists believe they even sleep while flying over the ocean.

Nineteen of 21 albatross species are listed as threatened with extinction from a variety of causes, including lead poisoning on Midway Atoll, injuries from longline fishing, climate change and ingestion of garbage floating on the ocean.

An estimated five tons of plastic are unknowingly fed to albatross chicks by their unsuspecting parents each year. Luckily, Wisdom's home at the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge is protected, Klavitter said.

Possibly the most "proved" -- as well as the most important, biologically -- of the various known EMF/EMR bioeffects is the impact on human and animal melatonin production and performance. In this paper, Dr. Neil Cherry makes it easy for all of us to understand. It ought to be required reading for the "science" defenders of the vested interests, the "industrial zombies" of the world, as well as all EMF-L readers.......guru.....

EMR Reduces Melatonin in Animals and People

EMR Reduces Melatonin in Animals and People

Dr Neil Cherry

26th July 2000

The Pineal Gland:
The pineal gland, a pea-sized organ near the centre of the brain, converts serotonin into melatonin. This has a strong diurnal (daily) pattern, with high melatonin output at night and low melatonin output during the day. Alternatively, serotonin dominates the day and is lower at night. The Melatonin/Serotonin cycle is a primary physiological driver of the daily metabolic, awake/sleep cycle. Melatonin is a vital part of many of the bodies biochemical systems, including sleep and learning and is free radical scavenging in all cells and hence is a potent antioxidant with anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. It helps to protect embryonic fetuses. Melatonin mediates many hormone functions, assists in maintaining immune system health and virus protection.

Figure 1: A schematic cross-section of the brain highlighting the pineal glad.
The light-driven daily cycle is primarily controlled by signals from the retina of the eyes that mediate the pineal function though a flow of chemical messengers. Signal messengers from the retina arrive at the receptors on the surface of the pinealocytes. Through regulation of the cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway, the serotonin/melatonin transformation is controlled.
A key element of the cAMP pathway is calcium ions. Substances that can alter cellular calcium ions act at many levels involving many cell receptors and cellular processes. Calcium ion efflux from the pinealocytes has the effect of reducing melatonin through reducing the cAMP, Figure 2.

Figure 2: The biochemical mediation system for serotonin transformation to melatonin in the pinealocytes showing the signal transduction pathways from the retina to the cell and the cell receptor, through cyclic AMP and NAT to the transformation process, Reiter (1994).
EMR alters calcium ion homeostasis:
Electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum alters calcium ion homeostasis in cells. The primary factor is the ELF modulation of the signal, Bawin and Adey (1976), Adey (1980). This occurs in a complex set of exposure windows. The efflux and influx for calcium ions also varies with ambient temperature, geomagnetic field strength and orientation, and signal intensity, Blackman et al. (1988, 1989, 1991). Blackman (1990) concludes that this is an established biological mechanism. Blackman et al. (1991) showed that Ca2+ efflux occurred for tissue temperatures of 36° C and 37 ° C and not at 35° C and 38° C. They comment that these could be very good reasons why experimental outcomes have been difficult to confirm in some laboratories. This shows why high SAR exposures do not produce altered calcium ions because the rise in tissue temperature takes the tissue outside the homeostatic thermal range within which calcium ion efflux/influx occurs to regulate normal cell behaviour.

The calcium ion efflux research demonstrates one of the fundamental principles of EMR research. Under given specific conditions the calcium ion efflux (positive or negative) does occur at some combination of exposure conditions, but not at a nearby slightly different set of conditions. This is because of the "window" non-linear nature of the effect with respect to modulation frequency and intensity in particular. Also, one set of conditions that produce a significant effect in one laboratory does not produce any observed effect in another laboratory because it has a different geomagnetic field. On the other hand, in real world situations workers or residents are continually passing through effective and non-effective windows of exposure.

There are great difficulties of detecting melatonin reduction in people because of the large intra-personal differences from day to day, and the very large inter-personal differences. Despite this, on average there is a dominance of exposure conditions that do cause calcium ion efflux and reduced melatonin, so that it is observed to differ in most monitored populations in the real world.

EMR Reduces Melatonin in Animals:

Light-at-night and electromagnetic radiation, are proven to reduce melatonin and hence pose significant adverse health effects. The evidence for EMR is summarized here. Rosen, Barber and Lyle (1998) state that seven different laboratories have reported suppression of nighttime rise in pineal melatonin production in laboratory animals. They show that a 50 m T, 60 Hz field with a 0.06m T DC field, over 10 experiments, averages a 46% reduction in melatonin production from pinealocytes. Yaga et al. (1993) showed that rat pineal response to ELF pulsed magnetic fields varied significantly during the light- dark-cycle. They found that the rate-limiting enzyme in melatonin synthesis, N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity showed that magnetic field exposure significantly suppressed NAT during the mid- to late dark phase.

Stark et al. (1997) observed a significant increase in salival melatonin in a group of 5 cows when the short-wave radio transmitter at Schwarzenberg, Switzerland, was turned off for three days, compared to 5 cows that had much lower RF exposure. Hence there are now at least ten independent observations of melatonin reduction in animals from ELF and RF exposure.

EMR Reduces Melatonin in People:

Fifteen studies from show that ELF and RF/MW exposure reduces melatonin in people and a serotonin enhancement. Evidence that EMR reduced melatonin in human beings commenced with Wang (1989) who found that workers who were more highly exposed to RF/MW had a dose-response increase in serotonin, and hence indicates a reduction in melatonin. Thirteen studies have observed significant EMR associated melatonin reduction in humans.

They involve a wide range of exposure situations, including 50/60 Hz fields, Wilson et al. (1990), Graham et al. (1994), Davis (1997) [in a dose response manner], Wood et al. (1998), Karasek et al. (1998), and Burch et al. (1997, 1998, 1999a, 2000), Jutilainen et al. (2000) and Graham et al. (2000); 16.7 Hz fields, Pfluger et al. (1996), VDTs Arnetz et al. (1996), a combination of 60 Hz fields and cell phone use, Burch et al. (1997), and a combination of occupational 60Hz exposure and increased geomagnetic activity around 30nT, Burch et al. (1999b).

The Davis (1997) study involved residential exposures and observed nocturnal reductions in melatonin metabolite, 6-OHMS. The author states that while the effect was small it occurred at milligauss levels and followed a dose-response trend. The effect was strongest among women who were on medication that also reduces melatonin. They showed a significant dose-response trend, with a 2- , 3- and 4-fold increase in magnetic field resulting in 8%, 12 % and 15 % reductions in melatonin, respectively.

The fifteenth human melatonin reduction study is from RF exposure as reported during the shutting down process of the Schwarzenburg shortwave radio tower, Professor Theo Abelin (seminar and pers.comm.). Urinary melatonin levels were monitored prior to and following the closing down of the Schwarzenburg short wave radio transmitter. This showed a significant rise in melatonin after the signal was turned off.

Hence it is established from multiple, independent studies, that EMR from ELF to RF/MW reduces melatonin in animals and human beings.

Confirmation of the electromagnetic sensitivity of the human pineal comes from therapeutic uses of picoTesla ELF fields in the successful treatment of a range of neurological diseases, Sandyk (1993, 1994), Sandyk and Derpapas (1993) and Sandyk and Iacono (1993). These studies specifically involve Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. The authors identify the magneto-sensitivity of the pineal gland and the role of melatonin as the biological mechanism for this therapy.

The Health Implications of Reduced Melatonin:

Melatonin has many biological effects. The melatonin receptor regulates several second messengers: cAMP, cGMP, diacylglycerol, inositol trisphosphate, arachidonic acid, and intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca2+]j). In many cases, its effect is inhibitory and requires previous activation of the cell by a stimulatory agent. Melatonin inhibits cAMP accumulation in most of the cells examined, but the indole effects on other messengers have been often observed only in one type of the cells or tissue, until now. Melatonin also regulates the transcription factors, namely, phosphorylation of cAMP-responsive element binding protein and expression of c-Fos. Molecular mechanisms of the melatonin effects are not clear but may involve at least two parallel transduction pathways, one inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and the other regulating phosphohpide metabolism and [Ca 2+]j, Vaneeck (1998).

Professor Russell Reiter, one of the world's leading medical researchers into the effects of melatonin, summarizes melatonin’s roles, Reiter and Robinson (1995), as being:

Vital for healthy sleep, including lowering the body temperature, and assisting in maintaining health sleep states.
Reduces cholesterol, with consequent reductions is risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Reduces blood pressure and the tendency for blood clots, and hence reduces the risk of strokes.
Scavenger of free radicals. This, along with the above factors, reduces the risk of heart attack, cancer, viral replication. Melatonin plays a vital free radical scavenging role in the brain where, because it is high in iron, has a high production rate of hydroxyl radicals (OH· ). Free radical damage is now known to play a formative role in most brain disorders, including Alzheimer’ disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. While the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) denies access to most free radical scavengers, melatonin has free access.
Enhances the effectiveness of the immune system. Specifically enhancing the T-cells, i.e. the T-helper cells and the T-killer cells. T-helper cells have a receptor for melatonin. When melatonin is received a cascade of events is set in motion including stimulation of Interleukin-4 (IL-4) which then stimulates natural killer cells (NK), B-cells, IgA, phagocytes and T-Cytotoxic cells. The NK cells specialize in attacking cancer cells and virus infected cells.

In Professor Reiter’s book, published in 1995, he describes the evidence that EMR/EMF does reduce melatonin as a "Smoking Gun" level of proof. That is, there is considerable scientific evidence but at that time it wasn’t sufficient for scientific proof. By considering more recent information, and the extensive results of biometeorological research, and linking the melatonin research to the calcium ion research, the level of proof can be seen as causal. The multiple observations of melatonin reduction in EMR exposed populations means that EMR exposure increases the incidence of all of the conditions identified by Reiter and Robinson above, including impaired immune system, diseases from infections and viruses, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, reproductive, neurological and cardiac disease and/or death. Epidemiological evidence of exposed workers and residential populations confirms all of these, except arthritis, have been identified to occur in EMR exposed human populations.

Obama Creates World’s First Superstate With US-Canada Merger

By: Sorcha Faal,

In a shocking coup d'état said to rival Nazi Germany’s 1938 Anschluss (German for “link-up”) of the Austrian Republic, the United States this past week effectively took control of Canada creating what is being called by Russian diplomatic officials as the world’s first 21st Century “Superstate”.

The United States announcement of this “merger” between these two North American Nations was made February 4th by a posting on the WhiteHouse.Gov website of President Obama and which, in part, says:

“Today, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have directed the creation of a United States-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC), composed of senior regulatory, trade, and foreign affairs officials from both governments. In recognition of our $1 trillion annual trade and investment relationship, the RCC has a two-year mandate to work together to promote economic growth, job creation, and benefits to our consumers and businesses through increased regulatory transparency and coordination.

They have directed that the first meeting of the RCC be convened within 90 days by the relevant agencies in the United States and Canada.”

Concealed in the “diplo-speak” wording of this historic agreement, however, is the complete overturning of the sovereignty of both the American and Canadian peoples laws and regulations they have lived under for centuries, but which will now be “melded” together with no votes allowed by either of them ever again.

The shock and uproar in Canada over their Prime Minister’s, Steven Harper [photo 2nd left with Obama], signing away their sovereignty to the United States is unprecedented, but the same cannot be said of the American people who, according to Canada’s National Post, have not been allowed to know about it, and as we can read from their article titled “The security perimeter imaginarium of Dr. Harper”, and which, in part, says:

“The New York Times didn’t mention the Harper-Obama agreement (though it did quote some remarks the Prime Minister made about Egypt). There was a story inside the Wall Street Journal, but if any other U.S. media reported on the meeting and press conference, I can’t find it. There is no hint that the US Congress is interested either.”

Equally as shocking were the Canadian government’s deliberate actions to keep this merger secret from their own citizens, and as we can read as reported by the Toronto Star News Service in their article titled “Canada kept U.S. border talks under wraps” and which, in part, says:

“The federal government deliberately kept negotiations on a border deal with Washington secret while it planned ways to massage public opinion in favour of the pact, according to a confidential communications strategy.

The 14-page public relations document recommended that talks keep a “low public profile” in the months leading up to the announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama. At the same time, the government would secretly engage “stakeholders” — interested parties such as big business groups and others — in a way that respected “the confidentiality of the announcement.”

In advance, the government departments involved — including industry, foreign affairs, international trade and citizenship and immigration — were to “align supportive stakeholders to speak positively about the announcement,” according to the strategy prepared by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ officials.”

One of the “supportive stakeholders” in the merger of Canada with the US is called the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE), who in their statement supporting it said, “This is the kind of government action that we in the business community have been seeking for years”.

Canada’s Pacific Free Press, however, has slammed this merger for what it really is, a capitalist corporate takeover of both the United States and Canada, and as we can read as reported in their article titled “New Harper/Obama Border Deal about Corporate Power - Not Security and Trade”:

“The Corporations behind this deal own the politicians who signed it, and the media that are telling us 'how good it is'.

The CCCE is the secretive umbrella group that represents Corporate Canada. The CCCE is the banks, big oil, the drug companies and manufacturers and retailers and all the rest; the people and corporations who own our country. Many believe they ARE the government of Canada. They are the ones behind this deal.

Also in the Border Deal: A new 'Council' will 'harmonize' regulations between Canada and the United States (google: Regulatory Cooperation Council):

The Corporations want ONE SET of business-friendly rules for Canada and the United States, they want control of the rules and regulations that govern us, and that is what this deal is largely about.

Where is the Corporate Media? Where is the CBC? All silent - under Corporate orders.

Where are the Unions? The Environmental Groups? The Council of Canadians? The Social Groups. The other Political Parties? We are allowed to hear nothing from them either.

This powerful new agreement will further undermine our democracy, it is all about Corporate Power and Wealth.

Here in Victoria BC, our main Corporate radio station, CFAX, tells us the new border deal will be good for security and trade and nothing to worry about. That is just Corporate Propaganda, but only that one message is put out.

The border deal will 'protect us' from terror. That's how it's being 'sold', but in fact we are getting in bed with the number one terrorist nation in the world today, the United States of America; a nation that is also bankrupt and may be nearing social upheaval. Even worse, this deal gives more power to Corporations which have neither heart nor soul and who will happily see us ruined if it means increased Profit for them; we know this because it is what they do everywhere in the world. Why is Stephen Harper signing us into secret deals with these lunatics?

The new agreement will make it easier to cross the border. This is the other selling point for the deal, but of course the 'tightening' of the Canada/US border was done to give us 'a problem' that they are now going to solve with a new border around us - which was the Corporate Plan all along.

These are the kinds of games these lunatics play.”

The great British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) once said, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”, and which, sadly, appears to be the case with this historic merger between the US and Canada as those who know and care won’t be heard, but those who do will reign in tyranny over those who live their lives in ignorance.

And yes it is true, and worth repeating, “These are the kinds of games these lunatics play.”

Egyptians form makeshift militias to stop looters police disappear from residential streets, communities take law into their own hands against armed gangs

Jack Shenker in Cairo guardian.co.uk,
Sunday 30 January 2011 15.48 GMT

Egyptian soldiers with armoured vehicles patrol near the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but they are mostly absent away from the main roads.
The security of most neighbourhoods in Egypt lay in the hands of its citizens last night, as residents responded to the disappearance of the police force by setting up makeshift barricades and beginning local patrols to protect themselves from violence.

In extraordinary scenes repeated across the country, communities formed spontaneous militias armed with sticks, knives and guns, and worked through the night to man roadblocks and maintain order on the streets, from which the government security forces are now almost entirely absent. The army remains in place on major highways, squares and public buildings - but away from main roads local residents were left to defend their families and property from looters.

As reports filtered in of gangs attempting to rob and terrorise neighbourhoods in different quarters of the capital, some pointed the finger at escaped prisoners and opportunistic criminals, though many more claimed that groups of policemen, now wearing civilian clothing, were behind the attacks. There were claims that some of those captured by vigilantes were found with police IDs.

In the Marouf neighbourhood of downtown Cairo, the Guardian witnessed residents distributing metal rods and kitchen blades among local young men, who used car tyres, traffic barriers and debris from the day's street battles to block access to roads and check the identity of anyone attempting to enter the area.

"We are looking to see whether we recognise the person, and if not we ask them questions to test their knowledge of the area," said Mahmoud Omar, a 35-year-old film-maker who was using his camera tripod as a weapon. "Everybody is very tense, because it's dark, it's cold, and it's very disorientating out here - we are very wary of any approaching cars or motorbikes. Earlier some thugs on a motorbike attacked a lone soldier and stole his weapon; luckily we apprehended them and tied them to a lamp-post, and then helped the soldier back to his tank."

In the early hours shots rang out from surrounding streets, and armed groups were seen chasing targets down alleyways. "Tonight we are disorganised because we are not experts in urban security, we're learning as we go," said Omar. "Tomorrow will be different, we'll have signalling and identification systems set up, and work out a better distribution of weapons."

The Guardian collated reports from eyewitnesses across the capital to build a picture of how Saturday night unfolded. In the eastern suburb of Heliopolis one residential building came under attack from armed men who demanded that every apartment turn its lights on and throw down money to the street; the attackers were repelled by residents who threw stones and threw boiling water from their balconies.

Across the Nile in the middle-class neighbourhood of Dokki, residents were strengthening their defences in anticipation of another night of violence on the streets. "I've picked up a pistol and a shotgun, and we've also got walkie-talkies so that we can keep contact with the other patrols and work together more effectively," said Nabil Habib, a 26-year-old software engineer.

"It's a strange feeling defending your own community, fear mixed with intense pride," he added. "People are coming together in a way they never have previously. It's really liberating - before we lived in fear of the police and never had the chance to take responsibility for our own communities, but now we are in control. You see the same sentiment among all the volunteers who are going around picking up trash and debris from the streets. It's a continuation of the revolution, bringing it out of the main squares and into our homes."

But not everyone shared his optimism. "It's a deliberate ploy from the government to try and suck the energy out of this uprising," said Karim Ennarah, a 27-year-old protester. "We are now seeing army officers, state television and state radio all saying the same thing: do your patriotic duty, go home and defend your families. They're appealing to our nationalist sentiments, calling on 'true Egyptians' to leave the streets, broadcasting phone calls from crying housewives who declare 'I'm scared, it's all gone too far'. We must resist the rumour-mongering and see this through until Mubarak falls."

By morning many of the street barricades were removed, though vigilante groups continued to patrol local neighbourhoods. In Sayeda Zeinab, a residential area just south of the interior ministry in Cairo, the Guardian watched a suspected robber and two female accomplices being apprehended by armed locals, who dragged them to the neighbourhood's burnt-out police station. There furious discussions among the crowd ensued, before the women were eventually released. The alleged robber was bound with rope and marched away, to be delivered to the nearest army checkpoint.

Outside Cairo, similar scenes were repeated across the country. Speaking by telephone from the town of Sheikh Zoueid in northern Sinai, Khalil Sawarka, a local Bedouin leader, said that the region's tribes were now in full control of security in most of the peninsula, which has seen major clashes between Bedouins and government security forces for many years. "We have distributed weapons and are maintaining order. But we are worried about the food situation; no supplies are reaching us and we fear that our people may start to go hungry if the situation doesn't ease in the next few days."

Suspicious acts before 7.3 Christmas quake terrorizes Vanuatu people
December 25th, 2010 3:19 pm ET
Vanuatu earthquake: The earthquake location map on Dec. 25 at 13:16 UTC time, or 8:15am EST. (USGS.gov)

Only several weeks before the 7.3 earthquake hit the South Pacific Island, Vanuatu on Christmas Day, terrorizing locals, all of its seismic monitoring equipment had been stolen, leaving no way to monitor earthquakes in the vicinity of the Port Vila city, no means to warn of tsunami triggers, and less means to determine if the U.S. military is to blame due to testing environmental warfare technology.

The criminal act of stealing the equipment is suspicious in lieu of military Weapons of Mass Destruction that can trigger or cause what appears to be "natural disasters" for geopolitical gain. (See: What are environment modification techniques and environmental warfare? Human Rights info 101, Dupré, D., Examiner, Dec. 6, 2009 and Global warming and intellectual climate change crisis: Myths, military and WMDs, Examiner, Dec. 14, 2009)

The Christmas 7.3 magnitude quake hit the Least Developing Country, Vanuatu just after midnight on December 25. It struck about 140 miles (225 kilometers) south of Vanuatu's capital, Port Vila and near Tana Island according to Associated Press. The quake was unusually shallow, only 15 miles below the ocean floor.

On November 9, over vt 1 million dollars worth of earthquake prediction and monitoring equipment was stolen from Vanuatu's Meteorological and Geohazards Department station at Devils Point on Efaté Island according to the nation's newspaper, the Vanuatu Daily Post in its article, Over Vt1 million worth earthquake equipment stolen again.

The criminal act is reported as professionally executed, unlike most reported crimes in the Third World nation where developed nation weapons such as guns are highly atypical. Among the world's hungry, Ni-Vanuatu people live on less than a dollar a day and use spears and hand-made weapons for food gathering. "Professional" criminal acts are also atypical.

The Vanuatu Daily Post reported that Acting Director, Ms Patricia Mawa said the equipment was stolen around 8:30 a.m. by "thieves that seemed to be familiar with the seismic monitoring devices and telemetry system." The apparent insiders "cut the fence wire, and carefully dismantled the instruments."

"These vital equipment included: one Solar Panel – 80 Watts (as sold by Pacific Power at Fresh Water); a VLF – (Very Low Frequency) Receiving/ Transmitting System, and the cables."

“Without these stations, the people of Vanuatu will no longer be able to get accurate information and timely warnings during events of earthquakes and tsunamis."

On October 1, vital equipment was stolen at one of the other two stations in the Efate Seismic Network, the station at Klem’s Hill, according to the Acting Director.

The center stated, "There is apparently no tsunami threat to Hawaii, but 'some coastal areas in Hawaii could experience small non-destructive sea level changes and strong or unusual currents lasting up to several hours" and "sea level changes are expected around 10:51am HST."

God or ENMOD?

Many people attribute the surge in earthquakes and other "natural disasters" to God's work. Others recognize that these disasters can be attributed to military technology applied in a war against the world.

The term, "Environmental modification techniques" refers to any technique for changing - through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes - the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space. (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, United Nations, Geneva: 18 May 1977)

"Environmental warfare" is defined as the intentional modification or manipulation of the natural ecology, such as climate and weather, earth systems such as the ionosphere, magnetosphere, tectonic plate system, and/or the triggering of seismic events (earthquakes) to cause intentional physical, economic, and psycho-social, and physical destruction to an intended target geophysical or population location, as part of strategic or tactical war." (Eco News)

Michel Chossudovsky has reported about military manipulations of the environment in his article, Excluded from the Copenhagen Agenda: Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) and Climate Change - The manipulation of climate for military use:

"The possibility of climatic or environmental manipulations as part of a military agenda, while formally acknowledged by official government documents and the US military, has never been considered relevant to the Climate debate. Military analysts are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the matter, and environmentalists are strung on global warming and the Kyoto protocol." (Chossudovsky, M., Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) and Climate Change, Global Research, December 5, 2009; Also see D. Dupre, A gory truth about climate change mind control, Examiner, December 6, 2009)

Wayne Hall reports on Rense.com, that "there remains the task of breaching the secrecy that surrounds the subject. Given that the ecological organizations are clearly not going to do this, we must initiate discussions with them to decide who should be assigned the task. Who is going to bell the cat?" (Hall, W. Chemtrail Secrets: Strategies Against Climate Change?, Rense.com, January 2004)

Vanuatu's stretch of small islands is north of Fiji, south of the Solomon Islands and about 1,200 miles from the coastal Australian city of Brisbane. It is in the archipelago called the “Pacific Ring of Fire” where a large amount of volcanic and seismic activity occur, perfect military testing ground for new weapons of mass destruction.

Plan 'B'.....
with respect, and awareness, let us begin...

They, the powers that used to be, are trying it again.

You know, the whole 'problem, response, solution' thing that they use to control large numbers of mostly hypnotized people on this planet. They create a 'problem' that causes you to go into fear mode which is chemically triggered by the R-complex in your lower brain matrix, and then they control you through your emotions by manipulating events such that you agree to give them your power in exchange for them providing a 'solution' to the 'problem' that they caused.

They had thought that their 'israel versus iran' problem would be sufficient to lever the planetary populace into a middle east focused global war. It did not work since so many of us were watching for so long.

Note, and you may certainly argue with me, that the planetary populace focus on the potential for a [nu-war] beginning with the [israeli mistake] has contributed to the destruction of potential emotional energy for that war to exist. Also note i am not saying anything more than words from hph *participated* in the process of grounding that potential war. It works on an energetic level beyond the condensate matter plane which is the 'place' where your body, the planet, universe and all the pies exist. It works at this energetic level by concentrating 'attention' which is a form of 'directly focused consciousness (note...little 'c' consciousness, not BIG 'C"). This directly focused consciousness acts as a spot light may act on a particularly vulnerable area of a house, which is to say, preventing burglary and other mischief due to the 'exposure' to the whole neighborhood.

So they fell back to Plan 'B'..... also please note that tptw (the powers that were) undoubtedly have Plan B as a bolded statement in their minds. This is due to their whole attitude of "we are the grown-ups in this world" and we have 'really really serious plans'. Yeah..right (sarcastic derision here).

The Plan B, it appears, is to generate a war between amongst the Korean peoples. Nope, not as good as getting the whole planetary populace whipped up about the Israeli's and Jews versus the Farsi and Islamists, but hey? what can you do...it's a plan B. Ok, so mostly Korea is too far away from the energy (oil) center of the planet, (note that location matters to tptw in their majic plots, so to have to move their war is quite irritating indeed), and outside the usual emotional framework of the hundreds of millions of sheeple that tptw (the powers that were) are trying to herd, but what the hell. In cases of desperation, you take what you can get.

So they are trying to promote this latest [nu-war] effort into their [coup-de-grace] that would, in their twisted reptilian minds, lead to WW3, then the N W O, and their wet dream of the great harvest of souls.

They are desperately working their Plan B, this is, by the way, their response to the Chinese submarine continental ballistic missile signal off the coast of California. All this shit is connected...in case you were not paying attention. The Plan B, again as an aside, is no where near their ideal energy draining control-of-planetary-humans optimum, and they, that is the former powers-that-be, are in a desperate, and intensely fearful state, as they realize just how shaky their position has become. They know they are in deep and sinking fast.

So look for them to be both stupid, and careless.

Since the former-powers-that-be are trapped in ritualistic, even reptilian, thinking, they will re-run one of their previous hits, which is to say, expect another 'gulf of tonkin' incident. Only this time in the seas off of Korea, and considerably more violent. In fact, judging from our emotional quantifiers and the steady erosion of emotional tone sums within the FPTB (Former ThePowersThatBe) entity in our modelspace, they will likely have to pretty much totally destroy at least 1/one large, American carrier group in the Gulf Of Tonkin Incident, Part Deaux.

Now please note...if you are ignorant of what the Gulf of Tonkin Incident is, and how it affected your life and the social fabric of the planet, you should go look it up now. We will wait till you get back...

Ok, she's back.

And now we have our cultural perspective, yes? The twisted humans that we all call minions, also known as scummy politicians, are being instructed by their masters, which include but are not limited to, the banksters, to 'play' us all with a new war, and to do it NOW.

They will arrange for an 'in your face' provocation to the North Koreans, that will NOT be visible to anyone other than the North Koreans. This will be their 'problem statement', that they anticipate will drive the North Koreans quite batshit, and they in turn will respond violently (as they have been trained by decades of trauma induced and planned by the old TPTB). The violent response is likely to be an unexpectedly sophisticated low flying missile attack on multiple ships in a carrier group. The attack, as tptw hope, would be devastatingly successful since the American fleet commanders are *not* aware that they are the sacrificial goats this time. The use of the word 'goats' is quite specific as many of the upper echelon naval surface ship officers are masons ( a secret society abhorrent to regular humans), and thus really should know better. But, probably they were out the day of the meeting and so were chosen to be the goat by everyone else. Yes, masons, i do know of what i speak and the mental image in your mind now is quite deliberate.

The resultant horrific destruction of ships and men, it is thought by the former-powers-that-be, would be enough to compensate, energetically, in sparking their global war.

Will it?

Well.... time and all the planetary humans will determine the outcome of their Plan B approach.

You see, it is a question of energies, not only nuclear and armies of men and machines, but also of the energy of focused attention by humans. This is the woo-woo part in case you had not noticed. The focused concentration of all the planetary humans is now being directed to the stage play organized by a bunch of twisted/damaged minds around the traumatized Korean peoples. For them, that is, the twisted fuckers who planned this, the situation *appears* to be a prime Plan B.

But, as any human knows, plans usually don't work out in manifesting universe, at least not as conceived inside the limitations of mind. To think otherwise is delusion...do not kid yourself.

So...what i am doing is to consider the problem of the Korean peoples not from the view being crafted by tptw and their loyal but stupid press minions, but rather to focus my attention on the whole production (getting my mind away from their narrow perception), and to consider the Korean peoples not as warring parties, but as a family of related humans, deeply traumatized by the insidious and hideous actions of a small group of power elite that behave as though they are not human.

Now then, what is to be done about Plan B? Well....do not expect me to answer that question for you. There are thoughts i have, mainly of trying to heal the trauma state of the Koreans, and yes, some of the healing involves pie (if you don't get it by now, and can't smell the cinnamon wafting up in the warm scent of baked apples carried by the gently roasting wheat, then you seriously need to learn to bake). And yes, they, the thoughts are a good start, but obviously not enough. We live in the plane of matter condensed from the energy of universe. Some of the thoughts must express themselves on the material plane....thus this missive. Not a missile. Rather a string of words designed to excite other words in other minds until maybe, just maybe, within the storm of words, will arise the necessary vibrational harmonic that will begin the resonance that will derail Plan B.

We could tell the American navy guys, through their buddies in secret society criminal activities, the masons, that we know. But you can't warn them...that would probably be some kind of criminal act under the many constraining 'laws' from the minions and tptw (the powers that were). But, we could express our sadness - to them, their families will find out soon enough so don't go adding to their up coming trauma and please stand by to aid and comfort all of the families of those who will be sacrificed for the political and banker welfare in this next new war. This needs to be treated with respect as these men and women will all soon be dead and deserve no less than our serious intent to preserve their lives, even if they think the wu-jo to be woo-woo, and their 'mission' to be righteous. If you take their death and their mission seriously, and acknowledge their courage, even in the presence of the larger ignorance about their fate, then they may be reachable. Not that it would, or even could change much. Been there (military brat), so i understand the situation that traps these brave humans.

We could figure out a way to tell the Koreans that they are being 'played by the elites', but will they listen? Would they recognize the power that they have to step outside the paradigm being rapidly built to fence them in to a cage match? Would they, even if they understand the broader strategy employed against them, have the raw human courage to stand up and say, "i am human. i am courage personified. i fiercely fight for my family, my tribe, my country, my planet. i do not fight for profit and amusement for twisted minds. Your fucking war does not start with me." The Koreans that i know are such people as to say this. They are the koreans of the Tae Kwon Do...which is also an art of peace.

But i am open to suggestion. These are just my thoughts, what are yours?

If we don't do something, the obvious will continue. This Plan B does not suit me, how about you?

"The art and mystery of banks... is established on the principle that 'private debts are a public blessing.' That the evidences of those private debts, called bank notes, become active capital, and aliment the whole commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of the United States. Here are a set of people, for instance, who have bestowed on us the great blessing of running in our debt about two hundred millions of dollars, without our knowing who they are, where they are, or what property they have to pay this debt when called on."

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

"Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs."

"The treasury, lacking confidence in the country, delivered itself bound hand and foot to bold and bankrupt adventurers and bankers pretending to have money, whom it could have crushed at any moment…These jugglers were at the feet of government. For it was not, any confidence in their frothy bubbles, but the lack of all other money, which induced…people to take their paper"

"I own it to be my opinion, that good will arise from the destruction of our credit. I see nothing else which can restrain our disposition to luxury, and to the change of those manners which alone can preserve republican government. As it is impossible to prevent credit, the best way would be to cure its ill effects by giving an instantaneous recovery to the creditor. This would be reducing purchases on credit to purchases for ready money. A man would then see a prison painted on everything he wished, but had not ready money to pay for."

"If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands, and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest, until it shall vanish into air... We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on the principle of 'a public debt being a public blessing,' and its mutation into the blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks with paper."

"The Bank of the United States is one of the most deadly hostilities existing, against the principles and form of our Constitution. An institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?"

Regulating Banking Institutions

"The principle of rotation... in the body of [bank] directors... breaks in upon the espirit de corps so apt to prevail in permanent bodies; it gives a chance for the public eye penetrating into the sanctuary of those proceedings and practices, which the avarice of the directors may introduce for their personal emolument, and which the resentments of excluded directors, or the honesty of those duly admitted, might betray to the public; and it gives an opportunity at the end of the year, or at other periods, of correcting a choice, which on trial, proves to have been unfortunate."

Paper Speculation

"A spirit... of gambling in our public paper has seized on too many of our citizens, and we fear it will check our commerce, arts, manufactures, and agriculture, unless stopped."

"Our public credit is good, but the abundance of paper has produced a spirit of gambling in the funds, which has laid up our ships at the wharves as too slow instruments of profit, and has even disarmed the hand of the tailor of his needle and thimble. They say the evil will cure itself. I wish it may; but I have rarely seen a gamester cured, even by the disasters of his vocation."

IMF Meeting Stokes Fear of Currency War
Mil Arcega 12 October 2010

New Fears of A "Currency War"

EU, China Cannot Agree on Currency Measures
Group Calls for Agreement on Global Currencies

Fears of a global currency war have increased after the meeting of finance leaders at the International Monetary Fund in Washington last week. Talk of trade imbalances and uneven growth due to artificially low currencies has already sparked discussions about possible intervention. Analysts say it's an issue that's not likely to go away anytime soon.

As nations emerge from the global downturn, it's becoming clear that some countries are recovering faster than others.

In its most recent outlook, the International Monetary Fund says growth in developed countries will remain sluggish - even as emerging economies, especially those in Asia, are booming.

Last week, World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned that uneven growth is causing friction.

"We see this now in debates on currencies: developed countries are easing monetary policies; some developing countries are tightening in response to growth; some surplus countries are intervening to lower the value of their currencies to boost exports," he said. "And all this is causing international tensions."

The failure of finance ministers to come up with solutions last week in Washington has only deepened the divide. IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

"Many are talking about a currency war," he said. "Myself, I think I use this vocabulary which may be a bit too military. But it's true to say that many do consider their currency as a weapon and that's certainly not for the good of the global economy."

The US, for example, blames China's undervalued currency for contributing to the massive trade imbalance between the two.

And countries such as Japan and Brazil have threatened to devalue their currencies to gain a competitive edge in exports.

Economist Toby Nandle says it's a big problem with no easy solutions.

"This is not a problem that can be delegated to an international organization such as the IMF," he said. "It's a problem that needs to be addressed by heads of state and by finance ministers because the resolution of said problem has profound affects on different economies."

Among them, China.

Beijing has pledged greater flexibility in determining the value of the yuan. But Chinese premier Wen Jiabao says it will not happen overnight.

"Without this stability of the RMB exchange rate, there would be no stability for businesses, for employment, for our people, and also, if China has social and economic problems, it would be a disaster for the world," he said.

Experts say currency disputes have already jumped to the top of the queue as world leaders prepare for the G-20 summit in South Korea. Barring a resolution, Nandle says the warning from Brazil could become reality.

"If there is no agreement by November 12th as to the global disconnect, I think that Guido Mantego [Brazil's Finance Minister] hit the nail on the head - we have a global currency war underway," he said.

Governments can devalue their currencies in different ways - from giving their central banks the ability to set margins on exchange rates to buying up foreign currencies to lower demand for their own.

Economists say the resulting fluctuations would have serious implications for trade, causing nations to demand additional tariffs, and even blockades, against cheap imports.

Such laws would hurt trade, further delaying a global recovery.

Corporate Meteors Strike US Gulf
(They Got the Whole World In Their Hands)
By Mary Sparrowdancer
Copyright 2010 - All Rights Reserved
8-29-10

Perhaps the British Petroleum/Nalco event was the wakeup call we needed in order to look more closely at untouchable corporations that began running the whole world 100 years ago. This is a paper about corporate communism, which is otherwise known as "monopolies" that are now rampant in the US. Monopolies always engage in conspiracy, and their first goal is to conspire to eliminate their competition and choices, establish control over prices and the masses by an elite few. The April 20, 2010, BP oil catastrophe in America's Gulf can be described as a monumental corporate conspiracy. BP was permitted by cronies to dig a hole to China off Louisiana's shores without safety measures or concern for the Gulf's marine ecosystem. Rather than immediately corking its gusher, BP quickly tapped a relatively unheard of company named Nalco on the shoulder for millions of gallons of its toxic Corexit dispersant. BP began adding Corexit to the oil-ravaged Gulf on April 23, and thumbed its nose at the US government when it suggested that something less toxic and more effective than Corexit be used.

"Corexit" does not "correct" anything as its corporately cute name implies. It makes the oil less visible on the surface, but making something less visible has never been a way to "correct" anything or change what needs to be changed. In addition, the containers holding Corexit carry a substantial warning about coming in contact with it or inhaling its vapors. Many of those who came in contact with the oil and the version of Corexit used while trying to "clean up" the Exxon-Valdez catastrophe remained sickened for years. Similarly, a number of newly unemployed US fishermen in the Gulf who began taking jobs to help clean up BP's mess have reported illnesses. Low oxygen levels are being reported, and when the water is low in oxygen, it means our air is also low.
According to numerous reports, these fishermen, who are the "first responders" in this most recent manmade disaster, state they have been told the air is safe to breathe, the water is safe to come in contact with despite being filled with chemicals, and that respirators will not be permitted. Numerous journalists and photographers, as well as scientists have been ordered to stay away from the disaster site or face arrest. We have an arrogant British company running things here in the US so sloppily they have shrugged-off having recently killed eleven men whose bodies were never found, and now they are ordering Americans around as though we are presumed British subjects.
Nalco is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, with corporate headquarters in Illinois. Although we "little people" might not have been familiar with Nalco until now, it appears that directors and former directors from notable corporate giants have been quite familiar with Nalco for years. The question of why BP selected Nalco's more toxic, less efficient Corexit instead of other less toxic dispersants has remained basically unanswered by BP. Not even congressmen have been able to extract this answer from BP's reps. All that has been truly known was that BP immediately felt their oil volcano was going to need a mother load of dispersants, and there was only one dispersant manufacturer prepared to step into this windfall opportunity for a dispersant manufacturer: Nalco.

Corexit suspends the oil in a subsurface manner, where oil-eating microbes flock to it, and it is this activity that scientists say leads to depleted oxygen levels in the seas. In addition, the use of subsurface Corexit one mile down was reportedly not based upon any science at all. It was another experiment being conducted by the chemical companies. Despite the "toxic stew" that BP/Nalco have created in the Gulf, news reports continue with conflicting statements in that "it is not known" what caused the subsequent, massive fish kills after the Gulf was filled with oil and dispersant chemicals. Conflicting reports certainly do not end with the fish kills. Nalco, on their website, states, "All of the ingredients contained in Nalco's dispersants are safe and found in common household products" However, the Safety Data Sheet for Corexit 9527A, which was the first dispersant reportedly used in the Gulf, has the following warnings:

"SKIN CONTACT :
Can cause moderate irritation. Harmful if absorbed through skin.
INGESTION :
May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and kidney effects and/or damage. There may be irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract.
INHALATION :
Harmful by inhalation. Repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate the respiratory tract.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE :
Acute : Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, nausea, vomiting, anesthetic or narcotic effects.
Chronic : Repeated or excessive exposure to butoxyethanol may cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver.
AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS :
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition.
HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS - CHRONIC :
Contains ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (butoxyethanol). Prolonged and/or repeated exposure through inhalation or extensive skin contact with EGBE may result in damage to the blood and kidneys."

It is possible that while no trace of Corexit might be found in the dead marine life, the marine life is dying from the effects of depleted oxygen levels caused by the oil and dispersants, or dying from organ damage caused by chemicals that have already passed through their systems, damaging organs on their way out. However, according to Nalco's Corexit EC9500A (the version of Corexit that was primarily used in the Gulf) on the Safety Data Sheet, the Toxicological Information states, "No toxicity studies have been conducted on this product." This means another chemical experiment is in progress.

In a report dated June 1, 2010 from Mobile, Pensacola News, WKRG, a massive fish kill took place sometime the night before June 1. "Josh Edwards, an employee of River Shack Restaurant, said, 'Literally, it looked like the whole river back there behind the restaurant had frozen up. It looked like snow and ice on top of the water,'" he said, describing the millions of small, young, silvery fish called menhaden that were now floating dead on the water's surface. Menhaden reach a length of about one foot as adults if they have the good fortune to live that long, but it appears that nearly all of the menhaden killed recently were juveniles, representing the ocean's future stock of menhaden. While many news stories are dismissing the menhaden as "a baitfish," the truth is that the menhaden are the most important fish in the sea. "Menhaden" comes from a Narragansett word meaning fertilizer, after the Narragansett Indians discovered hundreds of years ago that adding dead, nutrient-rich menhaden to mounds that were to be planted with corn, would produce robust, healthy corn.

According to NASA, the all-important phytoplankton are the very beginning of the marine food chain, providing not only rich nutrients but approximately half of the earth's supply of oxygen. The menhaden swim with their mouths open, absorbing the smallest delicacies of the sea, cleaning the seas of sunlight-blocking detritus and eating the phytoplankton that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. They help bring sunlight in for the photosynthesis process of vegetation, thereby increasing the oxygen levels. Then, the menhaden become the next in line in the marine food chain, providing a highly nutritious and highly sought after source of food for nearly every other type of marine life, including the larger fish whose names we are more familiar with because they are on our menus. Menhaden also provide food for turtles, birds, and marine mammals, including whales. Menhaden are extremity sensitive to oxygen levels, and will die when deprived of sufficient oxygen, thus their lives depend upon their task at hand. Ours might, as well.

In the wake of this Gulf disaster, Barack Obama ordered a six-month ban on dangerous offshore drilling, only to have the ban initially overruled by a federal court. The judge ruled instead for the posturing presidents, directors and CEOs of corporate monopolies rather than favoring the discretion of the person some feel might be the President of the United States. This indicates that a handful of corporate presidents, CEOs and directors have finally formed monstrous monopolies and transmonopolies that are so large they have clearly become a form of controlling government that cannot be addressed by the government of the United States. We are their victims.
If they wish to experiment on us and around us, they have, they can, and they continue doing so at this moment. They reap the benefits of their experiments with profits, and we pay the price either by submitting to their unending price gouging or we pay with our national condition of deteriorating health due in part to the massive chemical contaminations we are forced to endure. Poisoned by our food, our water, and the air we breathe, we are then forced to rely upon our deteriorating, abysmal healthcare industry that stands ready to treat our growing list of symptoms with more chemicals. The healthcare system is being run by insurance and pharmaceutical monopolies.

According to a Consumer Affairs article, a study conducted by the American Medical Association (another monopoly that has eliminated competitors and removed people's choices for medical treatments) found that between 1995 and 2005 there were more than 400 mergers between health insurance companies, resulting in only a handful of insurance monopolies that now provide most of the coverage in the US, thus controlling and driving prices ever higher and fleecing Americans out of billions of dollars. From their offices, insurance personnel make medical decisions affecting patients they have never laid eyes on. In order to help this unnecessary middleman to prosper even more, our government now wants to force Americans to pay the wages of our labor to the insurance industry for protection or face the frightening consequences. This type of activity is otherwise known as extortion when it is carried out by organized crime groups. In forcing us to pay our wages to health insurance monopolies, we will be agreeing to spend part of our work hours each month as slaves, then giving the wages for those hours to corporate monopolies for a "service" that is criminally overpriced, not needed, out of control and has nothing whatsoever to do with actual healthcare.

The US laws, including antitrust laws, were meant to keep cutthroat monopolies from driving and fixing prices, killing their competition, poisoning people, poisoning and killing wildlife, poisoning and destroying the environment, forcing consumers to have unfair enslavement or reliance upon poor quality monopoly products, hiding their activities from view, and engaging in outrageous conspiracies and behaviors. One large monopoly that has its hands firmly gripped on our food supply, and also has a propensity for dragging itself repeatedly through the mud, is Monsanto. Among other unsavory activities it has engaged in, Monsanto dumped millions of pounds of deadly PCBs throughout an Alabama community and then covered it up for 40 years.

An article in the Washington Post states: "For nearly 40 years, while producing the now-banned industrial coolants known as PCBs at a local factory, Monsanto Co. routinely discharged toxic waste into a west Anniston creek and dumped millions of pounds of PCBs into oozing open-pit landfills. In 1966, Monsanto managers discovered that fish submerged in that creek turned belly-up within 10 seconds, spurting blood and shedding skin as if dunked into boiling water. They told no one. In 1969, they found fish in another creek with 7,500 times the legal PCB levels."

When Monsanto's managers saw that they had already contaminated everything to such a degree that there would be no easy fix for this mess, their stunning decision, according to internal memos, was that "there is little object in going to expensive extremes in limiting discharges." In other words, they would continue to dump their toxic wastes into the environment and the local community of unsuspecting people.

According to another article in the Washington Post, when Monsanto was finally "caught," a 2002 Alabama jury found it guilty of all charges, including: "negligence, wantonness, suppression of the truth, nuisance, trespass and outrage." The Post goes on to explain, "Under Alabama law, the rare claim of outrage typically requires conduct 'so outrageous in character and extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency so as to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in civilized society.'"

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), as the truth began to emerge about the Monsanto's PCB deception, Monsanto underwent a "self-induced identity crisis," eventually claiming that it no longer existed. In September, 1997, Solutia, Inc. was spun off from Monsanto Co. and assumed chemical operations as well as liability. In 2000, Monsanto merged with Pharmacia and Upjohn, becoming Pharmacia, its new name. Later that year, Pharmacia created an agricultural subsidiary, naming it Monsanto Co. Incredibly, "ICIS, the world's largest information provider for the chemical and oil industry," states in its company structure information, "Solutia was founded in St Louis in 1901 as Monsanto Company."

Changing or hiding one's name will do little to alter the real problem if the real problem is accountability. Accountability costs money. There is no accountability when companies and corporations merge into monopolies and overlapping transmonopolies that are so large, not even the government can demand accountability from them. The solution is to break corporations down into smaller, accountable firms and encourage competition rather than allowing competition to be destroyed.

The US government, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), appears to have some pressing work to do, because matters continue to spiral out of hand. The untouchable transmonopolies being quietly formed in boardrooms have borders, boundaries and goals that are not easily understood or demarcated, and as they form and merge they bring in vast riches that for far too long have meant they can buy their way out of true accountability by paying victims off with frequently paltry sums followed by "silence" clauses that prevent the victims from talking about their personal tragedies.

The BP/Nalco affair offers us a glimpse of how a potentially untouchable transmonopoly might be formed.

According to the Guardian, UK, and BP, Peter Sutherland was the chairman of BP from 1997 until he stepped down and was replaced by another person effective January, 2010. According to the UN.org, Mr. Sutherland has also been the chairman of Goldman Sachs International since 1995, as well as associated with the Trilateral Commission. According to InvestorsMorningstar, Goldman Sachs sold almost 400,000 shares of BP at the end of January, 2010.

According to the Telegraph.co.uk, Tony Hayward, the disgraced CEO of BP at the time of the deadly explosion (who seems to have been held singularly to blame for this disaster while all other players have remained hidden from view), also cashed in a portion of his holdings of BP one month before the BP Gulf explosion, disposing of 223,288 shares on March 17, 2010. The Telegraph states, "There is no suggestion that he acted improperly or had prior knowledge" of what was about to happen that the company for which he was then somewhat responsible was about to take down the Gulf ecosystem, and then "finish the job" by adding unprecedented millions of gallons of toxic dispersants into the waters, in another chemical experiment. Mr. Hayward told members of Congress that he was "out of the loop" regarding decisions about the blown well. They were not happy to hear this, but when corporations are allowed to become so large that there can be no reasonable supervision of their affairs and practices, disasters and corruption appear to be inevitable.

The BP/Nalco toxic event happened just as heightened awareness of the health benefits from omega-3 fish oil was creating a very profitable market for the fish oil industry. The rich corporation that corners the market and provides nearly all of the omega-3 fish oil for the United States is Omega Protein, Inc. According to their website, their omega-3 fish oil comes solely from menhaden.

The Omega Protein corporation depends upon their fleets' use of spotter planes to search for the silvery clouds of menhaden glittering and flickering like raindrops on the surface of the sea, and when the planes spot the schools the fishing fleets are alerted and dispatched with large nets to the exact area, sometimes capturing and removing forever entire schools at a time. The omega-3 oil is then extracted from the menhaden to be placed into capsules for human use. The rest of the dead menhaden that are so critically vital to the existence of nearly all marine life, are used as fertilizer and fishmeal that is fed to land animals, including chickens, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, used in the production of lipstick and linoleum, and also fed to large fish farming operations, thus leaving the wild marine life without their most critical source of nutritious food.

According to Greenpeace, the population of menhaden is now at an all-time low. The direness of this critical situation has been brought forth by one of the world's foremost experts on menhaden, H. Bruce Franklin, a Rutgers professor and author of at least 18 books, including "The Most Important Fish In The Sea. Menhaden In America."

In a brilliant article in Mother Jones by Bruce Franklin, Professor Franklin writes of the menhaden: "They are filter feeders that live on phytoplankton, which most other aquatic animals are unable to eat. Dense schools of menhaden, sometimes numbering in the hundreds of thousands, pour through these waters, toothless mouths agape, slurping up plankton and detritus like a colossal submarine vacuum cleaner as wide as a city block and as deep as a train tunnel. Each adult fish can filter about four gallons of water a minute. Purging suspended particles that cause turbidity, this filter feeding clarifies the water, allowing sunlight to penetrate and encourage the growth of aquatic plants that release dissolved oxygen and harbor a host of fish and shellfish.

"Much of the phytoplankton consumed by menhaden consists of algae. Excess nitrogen can make algae grow out of control, and that's what happens when vast quantities of nitrogen flood into our inshore waters from runoff fed by paved surfaces, roofs, wastewater, overfertilized golf courses and suburban lawns, and industrial poultry and pig farms. This can generate devastating blooms of algae, such as red tide and brown tide, which cause massive fish kills, then sink in thick carpets to the bottom, where they smother plants and shellfish, suck dissolved oxygen from the water, and leave dead zones that expand year by year.

"In the natural ecosystem, menhaden cleaned the upper layers while another great filter feeder, the oyster, cleaned the bottom. But as oysters have been driven to near extinction in many Atlantic bays and estuaries by overfishing and pollution, menhaden are left as the only remaining check on deadly phytoplankton explosions."

According to observations made by James Price of the Chesapeake Bay Ecological Foundation, striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay have been now found diseased, thin and covered with red sores. In examining their stomach contents, he states that the stomachs that were once filled with menhaden can now be found empty. The dwindling numbers of over-fished menhaden have now been further decimated by the recent fish kills that occurred after the Gulf was filled with BP's oil, and Nalco's Corexit.
In looking at who is on Nalco's boards of directors, and at current or former affiliations with other large corporations, one director of Nalco is Douglas A. Pertz. Mr. Pertz was also the CEO of IMC Global, which later merged with part of Cargill forming The Mosaic Company, for which he also served on the board of directors. Mosaic is another extremely large company that many have not heard of because it keeps a highly profitable portion of its business, for the most part, just under the radar.

The Mosaic Company is one of the largest phosphate fertilizer mining operations on earth. From its phosphate fertilizer, Mosaic then "scrubs," removes and captures toxic fluorides along with other pollutants and radioactive wastes found in phosphate rock that has no use by the fertilizer industry. This gaseous slurry that contains fluoride is then distributed and sold throughout North America, largely by the Lucier Company. It is sold to our municipal waterworks companies to be used as "water fluoridation," which is another chemical experiment.

The production of "water fluoridation" from phosphate fertilizer waste materials is a highly profitable, very dependable, but relatively unknown branch of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Common sense will lead one to understand why this profitable and ever-expanding operation throughout theUS is not openly and proudly advertised: Many people are now aware of and opposed to the "fluoridation" lie, but have no voice. Further investigation of why Mosaic is keeping quiet reveals another chemical experiment now conducted on 70% of the US, who have no choice but to submit to their tap water.

An article written by George Glasser, who is a respected investigative environmental journalist, further explains. Although this slurry used in water fluoridation is referred to as "fluoride," it is actually much more. "The product is not 'fluorine' or 'fluoride' as proponents state," Mr. Glasser writes. "It is a pollution concentrate. Fluorine is only one captured pollutant comprising [about 19% to] 23% of the total product," Mr. Glasser writes. Included in the concentrate making up the remaining percentage is whatever else that is not desired by the fertilizer industry, including polonium and other deadly agents.
The municipal waterworks folks have been led to believe that fluorides became something suddenly needed by the human body after the Atomic Bomb Era when fluoride wastes became ubiquitous in the US. The municipalities then add this slurry into our drinking water. Various officials claim that we all need to drink this chemical to prevent cavities in our teeth whether we want it or not, or whether we even have teeth or are as edentulous (i.e., toothless) as the many "optimally fluoridated" people of Kentucky now are. The people of Kentucky have been "optimally fluoridated" at almost 100% for a long time. They have won government awards for being "optimally fluoridated," but those award-winning folks now have one of the highest rates of dental cavities and toothlessness in the US, perhaps because fluoride is known to cause and exacerbate periodontal disease. It has never been found to prevent cavities. Boiling fluoridated water increases the concentration of the fluoride; freezing it does nothing to remove the fluoride. Bathing in fluoridated water it results in dermal absorption.

It is unknown whether the municipal waterworks "officials" perform their own assays on each new shipment of pollutants they purchase from the phosphate fertilizer industry and distributors. Assays would be the only way of determining what else in addition to fluoride, including polonium, is in the tank before disposing of it on behalf of the fertilizer industry into our drinking water. Each shipment contains a unique percentage of pollutants and levels of radioactivity. Concerned lawyers reading this should note that if the municipal "authorities" are not performing individual assays on each shipment of "fluorides," then they can and should be held liable for breaking standing laws by deliberately contaminating public drinking water with unknown pollutants. This is now classified as an act of terrorism. It should also be known that testing should not be done by common Ion Specific Electrodes that only detect the presence of fluoride but cannot accurately report elevated levels. The far more sophisticated test is forensic Ion Chromatography, which gives accurate reading levels of fluoride. At this time, therefore, it is doubtful that most know what level of fluoride waste is being placed in our drinking water or how much is coming out of our taps.

Unlike other chemical pharmaceuticals, no physician will ever check the public citizen who is drinking deliberately contaminated water to see whether he or she is having any detrimental, allergic reactions to their "fluoride" treatment, because professional follow-up services were never a part of the national fluoride treatment plan. The individual and entire household never really received a prescription for their lifelong, daily dosing of fluoride in the first place. No physician would prescribe a life-long chemical pharmaceutical medication and then have no medical follow-up plans to make sure that the patient was doing well on their "medication."

We are being medicated by politicians, corporate presidents, directors, and CEOs whose main concern is making money. The CDC, which is a pharmaceutical propaganda mouthpiece, has pronounced water fluoridation as one of the "Ten Great Public Health Achievements" during the 1900s, which is true in a sinister sort of way. Those who are being forced to drink the fluoride wastes are not the ones benefiting from this "great achievement." Fluoridation is a "great achievement" for the corporations selling it, and then fluoridation becomes a "great achievement" for the pharmaceutical industry, which is the largest, most profitable industry in the US. The pharmaceutical industry reaps benefits from fluoridation by treating the resulting national symptoms.

Most physicians have no training regarding fluoride's systemic effects and symptoms. This is despite the fact that virtually all patients now are contaminated with fluoride toxins from water, air, processed foods, fluorinated drugs, dental retardation activities, teas, beverages, wine, grapes, raisins, household cleansers, floor wax, Scotchguard, Stainmaster, insecticides, pesticides, Teflon-coated pans, food packaging, plastics and toothpastes.

Fluoride has been known since the 1930s in Germany to block thyroid function. Some of the symptoms of fluoride poisoning include depression, behavioral problems, aggression, weight gain, aches, pains, tendon/muscle rupture, severe kidney problems, skeletal problems, erectile dysfunction, visual problems, muscle spasms and twitches, connective tissue damage, cancer, heart problems, lung problems, premature aging because of collagen breakdown, declining IQ, severe GERD, mental confusion, gum disease, tooth rot, and Barrett's esophagus, etc. It has been known for years that fluoride forms concretions in the pineal gland, located within the brain. It affects every part of the body because it is a systemic poison, not a nutrient as the propaganda mouthpieces continue to claim. The effect of fluoride on kidney patients is so severe that the use of water containing elevated fluoride levels during dialysis has resulted in patient deaths.

Despite the fact that the Mosaic company keeps a rather low profile, they have shown their own unconscionable activities carried out for money. According to the Miami Herald, St. Petersburg crabber Howard Curd's crab fishing grounds in Tampa Bay were "killed off when HurricaneFrances blew out a retaining wall at a phosphate pit that spewed acidic water into the bay. The fertilizer company, Mosaic, persuaded a trial court and an appeals court that Curd and other fishermen couldn't sue because they didn't own the seafood that was potentially killed, so they weren't technically damaged."

Curd said, "'Crabbing in the bay is bouncing back, but the BP spill is depressing seafood sales even though the oil is nowhere near the western coast of Florida.' He's prepared to sue BP, but harbors no illusions about facing a big corporation in court."
Curd further said, "They've got all the money, and all the attorneys and all the experts on retainer. It really doesn't cost them anything. It's like it's cheaper to pay their attorneys and fight in court than paying the money to people they hurt and doing the right thing."
Another director Nalco is J. Erik Fyrwald, Nalco's CEO, and President. According to Nalco, Mr. Fyrwald is also on the Board of Directors of Eli Lilly and Co., and was Group Vice President of DuPont's "Agriculture and Nutrition" division, a division name that might qualify as an oxymoron to anyone who knows anything about nutrition and the current state of the US petrochemical, agricultural industry.

Also among Nalco's board members is Richard Friedman. According to Bloomberg, Mr. Friedman is the head of Goldman Sachs, as well as on the board of trustees of New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, to which he recently gave $20 million for the creation of the Friedman Brain Institute, according to the Wall Street Journal. It should be noted that if one has acute fluoride poisoning in NYC, you cannot have your urine tested for fluoride anywhere in New York or surrounding areas. Your urine will have to be FedExed out of New York to a remote forensic lab for ion chromatography fluoride testing. (Perhaps the Friedman Brain Institute can look into those somewhat troubling pineal gland concretions.)

Also on the board of Nalco is Daniel Sanders. According to Forbes, Mr. Sanders is the former President of ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
Also onboard Nalco is Rodney Frank Chase. According to Bloomberg's BusinessWeek.com, Mr. Chase has been a senior advisor of Lehman Brothers, as well as former Deputy Group Chief Executive of BP, Managing Director, and CEO of BP Finance International.

Also among the list of directors on Nalco is Mary Margaret VanDeWeghe. According to various sources, Ms. VanDeWeghe has been a high-ranking executive with the Lockheed Martin Corporation. Lockheed Martin emerged after a fusion between Lockheed and Martin Marietta. According to the Lockheed website the corporation is the world's "leading provider of safety-critical nuclear instrumentation & control (I&C) systems for commercial and DoD customers for over 50 years." It now owns several Superfund sites that were at some point contaminated with chemicals. One is near Columbine, where a massacre happened. Another is in Paducah, near another school massacre. We do not know what the chemicals are doing to us.

Also on Nalco's board is Carl M. Casale. Most of us have probably never heard of Carl Casale, but a closer look at corporate affiliations and a comparison of photos indicates that Mr. Carl M. Casale is also the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Monsanto.

In 2005, the EPA and DuPont settled a lawsuit in which the EPA charged DuPont with knowing about the dangers of C8 (perfluorooctanoic acid, another form of fluoride used in the production of Teflon), contaminating a town's drinking water with it and keeping quiet for approximately 20 years. According to the EWG, this hiding allowed "DuPont more than two decades of multi-hundred million dollar annual profits, while guaranteeing contamination of the entire planet with Teflon [fluoride] chemicals, now recognized as persistent global pollutants that nearly universally pollute human blood."

In 2006, BP announced that it was forming a partnership with DuPont in order to create new biofuels. In 2006, Monsanto announced it was going to create a genetically modified (GM) soybean that would have high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Health markets were newly and increasingly profitable for omega-3 products. The primary source of the omega-3 fatty acids had been the menhaden, but Monsanto warned that fish populations were being depleted, and that a more renewable, land-based source of omega-3 fatty acid was needed for our good health. Monsanto said their new GM omega-3 soybeans should be ready by about 2010 or 2011. Monsanto then partnered with Solae, which is primarily owned by DuPont, to bring about new GM soybeans.

"Soy beans represent a renewable, land-based source of omega-3s," said Jerry Steiner, Executive Vice President of Monsanto (Sustainability & Corporate Affairs).

According to a 2007 article in Food Navigator-USA.com, "Consumer awareness of the health benefits of omega-3 has sky-rocketed in recent years as the scientific evidence stacks up. Industry experts predict that the market for omega-3 products could be worth as much as $7bn by 2011. But concerns over the sustainability of fish sources, as well as the amount of fish oil available to the nutrition industry as demand for crude fish oil from the aquaculture industry increases." Indeed, this same article goes on to state, "The problem with plant sources like flax, however, is that they yield upALA, a shorter chain fatty acid which is less bioavailable for humans than DHA and EPA, of which fish is the best source. This was the spur for Monsanto and Solae/Dupont to embark on their respective R&D [Research and Development] projects."

At the end of May, 2010, an article in the Chemical and Engineering News carried the following headline: "Gulf Oil Spill Boosts Nalco Sales," and then stated, "Water treatment firm Nalco has told investors that it expects sales of dispersants used in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill will have reached $40 million by May 21."

In June, 2010, NutraIngredients-USA.com announced, "Omega-3 is 'among the most successful functional ingredients ever, with sales of omega-3 ingredients destined for processed foods undented by the global economic turndown,' according to Euromonitor." According to a Monsanto press release dated July 10, 2010, food companies are now testing a new product: "Soymega, the world's first SDA (stearidonic acid) soybean oil, is making it easier for food companies to incorporate more omega-3s into a variety of products." The press release also states, "SDA soybean oil is the result of a collaboration project between Solae and Monsanto Company." The downside of this is that many people feel that the consumption of GM foods, as well as r-BGH/r-BST dairy are more chemical experiments with end-results unknown. The "r" in rBST stands for "recombinant." Monsanto sold its bovine growth hormone to Eli Lilly in 2008, indicating perhaps that Monsanto was giving up on its long battle trying to convince the consumer that engineered dairy was "identical" to non-rBST dairy. The public literally was not buying it.

This tells us how powerful we, as consumers, actually are. We are more powerful than monopolies. Our first line of business at this moment is to call for a moratorium on all "menhaden reduction" fishing activities so that the menhaden can be allowed to replenish their population and act as the oceans' natural filters, and thus increase the world's declining oxygen levels. The earth, in fact, might depend on this act. If the government will not step up and realize it must regulate and protect this important fish, then we consumers can stand up and avoid all menhaden products until the little fish makes a powerful comeback. Then we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Choose another type of fatty fish for omega-3s. .

Our second line of business will require the help of lawyers. We need to sue the hell out of the municipal waterworks companies until they stop putting fluoride wastes and other unknown toxic pollutants into our drinking water. Those responsible for doing this should know they are going to be held criminally accountable for deliberately adding pollutants into drinking water. According to the Nuremberg Code, Directives for Human Experimentation, the first code states: "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential." This has never happened. Number 10 states: "During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe . . . the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject." We now have probable cause.

Monsanto: Land-based omega-3, not fish

Monsanto: non-marine sources of omega 3

-Solae-joint-forces-for-omega-3-from-GM-soy

The Packaged Facts report indicates however that consumers still associate omega-3 with fish oil. Which may be an indication that ingredients manufacturers trying to sell their non-fish versions of DHA will have to take marketing efforts up a notch.

The report highlights the issue of potential contaminants as a factor that could nudge consumers away from fish-derived omega-3 ingredients.

"Worries about environmental pollutants and contaminants like heavy metals, however, may prompt some consumers to shy away from marine sources of omega-3s," says the report.

Jane Burgermeister’s most recent e-mail:

The Austrian government’s and Big Pharma’s ludicrous agenda to frame Jane Burgermeister and get her jailed has now reached a new level.
Anyone who thought that judges and prosecutors in Austria are not capable of the most blatant mafia methods to set up critics of the swine flu vaccination campaign for arrest needs to think again.
The state prosecutor for corruption Mag Katja Wallenchewski sent me a letter yesterday as part of a blatant attempt to switch the criminal charges I filed on July 23 with documented evidence of file manipulation and corruption of Austrian judges and replace them with a completely different set of charges I never filed and which belong to a total stranger.
According to Wallenschewski’s letter dated July 27th, the criminal charges of complete strangers – two people called Christine Cote and Heiner Lohmann -- are listed under my name and under my file number.
You have to read the small print on page 2 to find out that the letter informing me that the prosecutors office has dropped the criminal charges against the Judge Michaela Lauer actually refers to completely different criminal charges altogether – namely to the charges of someone called Christine Cote filed on July 5th as well as of a Heiner Lohmann filed on 15 July.

So why am I getting the letter? What have their charges got to do with me and my file number?
It can be assumed that these criminal charges by total strangers are now filed under my name while my own criminal charges have been switched over to their file or another file.
To send me a letter informing me that the criminal charges of totally unknown people have been dropped is in itself a serious error at best because a third party should never be informed about the status of the charges filed by others.
Googling around, I found out that Christine Cote appears to have run an eccentric swine flu vaccine site that has also been critical of me. I tried to email her at Christine.cote@aon.at yesterday but the email bounced. No one answers a number listed under that name in Vienna or replies to messages left on the answerphone.
My bet is that these criminal charges by Christine Cote and Heiner Lohmann against Judge Michaela Lauer are full of violent threats and hysteria and so will offer the perfect excuse for the Austrian police to arrest me any time. Certainly, this pair of "swine flu activists" have never ever contacted me.
My own set of charges with the stamp of the prosecutors office confirming I handed them in on July 23rd are very factual: every single allegation of corruption and file manipulation is well documented as anyone can read at this link:
http://wakenews.net/anzeige-jb.pdf
I also filed appeals in civil courts in Vienna on July 5th and July 9th documenting the evidence of systematic corruption by Judge Lauer in connection with the inheritance of my father and the court custody of my aunt as can be seen under the link:

http://wakenews.net/html/burgermeister-rekurs-dok_.html
I am happy to send anyone pdf copies myself if the above links don’t work.
The systematic corruption is so well documented by me, in fact, that the Austrian judges are obviously getting very worried and having to resort to this blatant frame up and maneuver to get me jailed or under custody.
As soon as a criminal charges with threats against a judge are put into my file, even if it is a blatant error by the prosecutor, the police can be sent to arrest me and at literally any moment.
I have not seen Christine Cote’s and Heiner Lohmann’s charges against Judge Lauer but they probably confirm every cliché about conspiracy swine flu theorists as lunatics.
In fact, the claims I made from the beginning about the swine flu pandemic being hyped by the pharmaceutical companies have been substantiated by bodies such as the widely publicized report by UK MP Paul Flynn at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly at the beginning of June -- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10396382 -- as well as the prestigious British Medical Journal.
Deborah Cohen (BMJ features editor) and Philip Carter document in a June 3rd report how scientists who convinced the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare swine a global pandemic level 6 emergency have close financial ties to the drug companies that profited from the sale of those vaccines .
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/340/jun03_4/c2912
Even the corporate mainstream media that played an instrumental role in hyping the virus has printed reports saying that the pandemic was exaggerated. Der Spiegel published a report called the “Chronology of a hysteria” in March 2010.
http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-69407395.html
Der Spiegel also reported on the Bilderberg meeting in Spain in June 2010.

Far from being a crazy conspiracy theorist, I have thoroughly documented the claims I have made thanks to my background as a science journalist who has been working for years for publications such as Nature:

As well as the Guardian, the European Voice and American Prospect and many other publications.
But before the next mass vaccination campaigns or pandemics are launched, effective investigative journalists who document the corruption of WHO and national governments have to be removed and the internet censured.
They have to be framed by an elaborate process involving judges and state prosecutors interacting with “swine flu” activists”.
Ever since I filed charges against Baxter at the beginning of April 2008, presenting evidence that the contamination of 72 kilos of seasonal flu with the bird flu virus – supplied by WHO – had been deliberate given the fact the laboratories have to follow strict biosafety level 3 regulations, I have been hounded by the government.
I have also been ridiculed by much of the corporate mainstream Austrian media. But then again, every journalist in Austria working for Austrian media still needs a government license!
The same media were largely silent about the Baxter incident and also about that the fact the Vienna state prosecutor had ordered an investigation into Baxter’s contamination of the vaccine material, although the charges were dropped in September 2009 just in time for Baxter to get its approval for its swine flu jab.
I soon felt the wrath of the government after filing charges on the Baxter incident in April 2009. I had to take legal action in May 2009 against the same Judge Lauer at the court in Hietzing for the way she tried to smear me and exclude me from the court guardianship of my father, who ended up dying on October 23,2009 in a hospital in Hietzing in which the Rothschild family through a foundation still play an active role .
I stated in my criminal charges Lauer might be working for the shadowy Bilderberg network and Big Pharma and asked for an investigation. But the very same Mag Wallenschewski who is now trying to frame me as a crazy swine flu conspiracy theorist also played a key role in stopping an investigation back then. I never even got to see the files.
More than one year later, the evidence is even stronger that Judge Lauer is under orders from higher ups who work for Big Pharma and the Bilderberg network in Austria -- and that the orders are coming in from high up to do everything to strip me of my assets and my civil liberties and bend every law to do it.
The Chancellor Werner Faynmann went to the 2008 Bilderberg meeting of the world’s shadowy elite.
The banking family Rothschilds – considered by many to be at the core of the Bildeberg group together with the Rockefellers -- are even active in the hospital in Hietzing (Krankenhaus Hietzing mit Neurologischem Zentrum Rosenhügel) where my aunt and Dad had so many problems.

On another flank Johan Niklasson, the webmaster, has hijacked www.theflucase.com website as well as the www.janeburgermeister.org website.
At the beginning of June. I moved back to my old birdflu666 blog because I realized Johan Niklasson was working to sabotage the site and my work.
At the end of June, just as Lauer was starting to try to get me under court custody on the grounds I am a conspiracy theorist, Niklasson posted a report advocating mindless violence which conveniently got the website classified as a terrorist site.
He also blocked my log. I immediately had to put a disclaimer on my birdflu666 blog to make it clear this report had nothing to do with me.
We can see how the whole shadowy network pulls different strands together to implement a long term plan to destroy an investigative journalist’s work and even life.
But the Bilderberg minions must realize. I was born a free person and I will die a free person and I will never go under the court custody of Austrian judges, whose corruption has been so well documented it borders on a black comedy. That is like surrendering to the mafia.
I recognize I will highly likely never come out of any court custody alive anyway for what incentive is there for these people have for allowing me, a whistleblower documenting their crimes, to live?
I refuse to be held as a prisoner or slave by the minions of the Bilderberg international corporate crime syndicate which has its tentacles so deep into governments in the EU and USA that they ordered 100s of millions of inadequately tested and toxic jabs for their populations for a mild virus, and who have crashed the entire economy for the profits of the banks.
It is clearly better to commit suicide than to be murdered or abused after an illegal court guardianship process or arrest. I have no fear of death. My conscience is clear. I will not spend one minute alive under the court custody.
I was born of an Irish mother who was fearless as her own parents were fearless and I owe them nothing less than that I too stand fearlessly against the ludicrous frame up of the Bilderberg and Big Pharma minions in Austria – and if necessary to die fearlessly.
I remember my mother telling me how the IRA shot bullets at the feet of my grandparents when they walked down the mainstreet of Sligo, Ireland, after getting engaged and how they never flinched but kept on walking arm in arm without even looking at the people who could have killed them any moment. My grandmother, an O Hara, supported the IRA while my grandfather, McGoldrick, was an Irish army officer who supported the partition of Ireland. The IRA did not like it that my grandmother got engaged to him.
So God give me strength, I too will never flinch as my grandparents never flinched.

2010-07-12T12:17:00.000-07:00

In a sign that illegal surveillance programs launched by the Bush administration are accelerating under President Obama, The Wall Street Journal revealed last week that a National Security Agency (NSA) program, PERFECT CITIZEN, is under development.

With a cover story that this is merely a "research" effort meant to "detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running such critical infrastructure as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants," it is also clear that the next phase in pervasive government spying is underway.

With "cybersecurity" morphing into a new "public-private" iteration of the "War On Terror," WSJ reporter Siobhan Gorman disclosed that giant defense contractor Raytheon "recently won a classified contract for the initial phase of the surveillance effort valued at up to $100 million."

This wouldn't be the first time that Raytheon had positioned itself, and profited from, a media-driven panic. As investigative journalist Tim Shorrock documented for CorpWatch, "as the primary spying unit of defense industry giant Raytheon," the firm's Intelligence and Information Services division (Raytheon IIS) is the premier provider of command and control systems "capable of transforming data into actionable intelligence."

According to Shorrock, the unit's "most important clients ... are the NSA, NGA, and NRO, for which it provides signals and imaging processing, as well as information security software and tools;" in other words, agencies that are at the heart of America's electronic warfare complex.

The program, Gorman writes, "would rely on a set of sensors deployed in computer networks for critical infrastructure that would be triggered by unusual activity suggesting an impending cyber attack." While Journal sources claim the program "wouldn't persistently monitor the whole system," a leaked Raytheon email paints a different picture, in line with other NSA intrusions into domestic affairs.

"The overall purpose of the [program] is our Government...feel[s] that they need to insure the Public Sector is doing all they can to secure Infrastructure critical to our National Security," the whistleblower writes. "Perfect Citizen is Big Brother."

These revelations have triggered concerns that projects like PERFECT CITIZEN, and others that remain classified, signal a new round of secret state surveillance and privacy-killing programs under the catch-all euphemism "cybersecurity."

The Journal reports that information captured by PERFECT CITIZEN "could also have applications beyond the critical infrastructure sector, officials said, serving as a data bank that would also help companies and agencies who call upon NSA for help with investigations of cyber attacks, as Google did when it sustained a major attack late last year."

In other words, the program will have major implications "beyond the critical infrastructure sector" and could adversely affect the privacy rights of all Americans. In fact, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to hypothesize that PERFECT CITIZEN may very well be related to other "intrusion detection programs" such as Einstein 3's deep-packet inspection capabilities that can read, and catalogue, the content of email messages flowing across private telecommunications networks.

One unnamed military source told the Journal, "you've got to instrument the network to know what's going on, so you have situational awareness to take action."

However, as the UK publication The Register noted, "many of the networks that the NSA would wish to place Perfect Citizen equipment on are privately owned, however, and some could also potentially carry information offering scope for 'mission creep' outside an infrastructure-security context."

The Register's Lewis Page, a former Royal Navy Commander and frequent critic of the surveillance state, writes that "full access to power company systems might allow the NSA to work out whether anyone was at home at a given address. Transport and telecoms information would also make for a potential bonanza for intrusive monitoring."

When queried whether the program would be yet another snooping tool deployed against the public, NSA spokesperson Judith Emmel told The Register Friday: "PERFECT CITIZEN is purely a vulnerabilities-assessment and capabilities-development contract."

According to NSA, "This is a research and engineering effort. There is no monitoring activity involved, and no sensors are employed in this endeavor. Specifically, it does not involve the monitoring of communications or the placement of sensors on utility company systems."

When specifically asked by Page if NSA is "seeking to spy on US citizens by means of examining their power or phone usage, tracking them through transport systems etc, the NSA would simply never think of such a thing."

"Any suggestions that there are illegal or invasive domestic activities associated with this contracted effort are simply not true. We strictly adhere to both the spirit and the letter of US laws and regulations," insisted Emmel.

Which raises an inevitable question: what would lead a Raytheon insider to compare the project to "Big Brother"? This is strong language from an employee of one of America's largest defense firms, a company in the No. 4 slot on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of prime federal contractors with some $6.7 billion in total revenue, 88% of which are derived from defense contracts.

At this point we don't know, and Siobhan Gorman hasn't told us since the Journal, as of this writing, hasn't seen fit to enlighten the public with the full text, if one exists, as to why someone obviously familiar with the program would put their job at risk if PERFECT CITIZEN were simply a "vulnerabilities-assessment and capabilities-development contract" and not something far more sinister.

The Pentagon Rules. Any Questions?

The Journal reported that the project began as "a small-scale effort" under the code name APRIL STRAWBERRY. Over time, the classified program was "expanded with funding from the multibillion-dollar Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, which started at the end of the Bush administration and has been continued by the Obama administration," Gorman wrote. Now, with billions of dollars available "the NSA is now seeking to map out intrusions into critical infrastructure across the country."

As Antifascist Calling reported earlier this year (see: "Obama's National Cybersecurity Initiative Puts NSA in the Driver's Seat"), although the administration has released portions of the Bush regime's National Security Presidential Directive 54 (NSPD-54) in a sanitized version called the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI), the full scope of the program remains shrouded in secrecy.

Indeed, most of NSPD-54 and CNCI have never been released to the public. This led the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) to write in a 2008 report that "virtually everything about the initiative is classified, and most of the information that is not classified is categorized as 'For Official Use Only'."

Due to the opacity of the highly-secretive program and stonewalling by the administration, the SASC joined their colleagues on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and called for the initiative to be scaled-back "because policy and legal reviews are not complete, and because the technology is not mature."

Hardly beacons of transparency themselves when it comes to overseeing depredations wrought by the secret state, nevertheless SASC questioned the wisdom of a program that "preclude public education, awareness and debate about the policy and legal issues, real or imagined, that the initiative poses in the areas of privacy and civil liberties. ... The Committee strongly urges the [Bush] Administration to reconsider the necessity and wisdom of the blanket, indiscriminate classification levels established for the initiative."

In fact, as the investigative journalism web site ProPublica reported last summer, the White House "has erased all mention of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board from its Web site. The removal, which was done with no public notice, has underlined questions about the Obama administration's commitment to the board." As of this writing, it remains an empty shell.

Despite repeated efforts by civil liberties and privacy groups, the Obama administration has been no more forthcoming than the previous regime in answering these critical concerns, particularly when the "policy and legal issues" are cloaked in secrecy under a cover of "national security."

Instead, CNCI's "Initiative #12. Define the Federal role for extending cybersecurity into critical infrastructure domains," offer little more than linguistic sedatives meant to lull the public as to how and through what means the administration plans to build "on the existing and ongoing partnership between the Federal Government and the public and private sector owners and operators of Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR)."

While the administration claims that the "Department of Homeland Security and its private-sector partners have developed a plan of shared action with an aggressive series of milestones and activities," as we now know the civilian, though securocratic-minded Homeland Security bureaucracy is being supplanted by the Pentagon's National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command as the invisible hands guiding the nation's "cybersecurity" policies.

As I reported last month (see: "Through the Wormhole: The Secret State's Mad Scheme to Control the Internet"), corporate greed and venality aren't the only motives behind hyped-up "cyber threats." Armed with multibillion dollar budgets, most of which are concealed from public view under a black cone of top secret classifications, agencies such as NSA are positioning themselves as gatekeepers over America's electronic communications infrastructure.

The Media's Role

With corporate media serving as "message force multipliers" for the flood of alarmist reports emanating from industry-sponsored think tanks such as the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), or lobby shops like the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) and the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA), it is becoming clear that consensus has been reached amongst Washington power brokers, one that will have a deleterious effect on the free speech and privacy rights of all Americans.

Floated perhaps as a means to test the waters for restricting internet access, The New York Times reported July 4 that "the Internet affords anonymity to its users--a boon to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cybercrime that has swept across the Web."

Reporter John Markoff, a conduit for "cyberwar" scaremongering, informs us that "Howard Schmidt, the nation's cyberczar, offered the Obama administration's proposal to make the Web a safer place--a 'voluntary trusted identity' system that would be the high-tech equivalent of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled into one."

"The system" Markoff writes, "might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential linked to a specific computer, and would authenticate users at a range of online services."

Schmidt has described the Obama administration's approach (note the warm and fuzzy phrase hiding the steel fist) as a "voluntary ecosystem" in which "individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with confidence, trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure that the transaction runs on."

Markoff's reporting would be humorous if we didn't already know that secret state agencies themselves have already compromised the Secure Socket Layer certification process (SSL, the tiny lock that appears during supposedly "secure" online transactions), as computer security and privacy researchers Christopher Soghoian and Sid Stamm revealed in their paper, Certified Lies: Detecting and Defeating Government Interception Attacks Against SSL.

In March, Soghoian and Stamm introduced the public to "a new attack, the compelled certificate creation attack, in which government agencies compel a certificate authority to issue false SSL certificates that are then used by intelligence agencies to covertly intercept and hijack individuals' secure Web-based communications." They provided "alarming evidence" that suggests "that this attack is in active use," and that a niche security firm, Packet Forensics, is already marketing "extremely small, covert surveillance devices for networks" to government agencies.

Not everyone is thrilled by Schmidt's call to create this allegedly "voluntary" system. Lauren Weinstein, the editor of Privacy Journal, told the Times that "such a scheme is a pre-emptive push toward what would eventually be a mandated Internet 'driver's license' mentality."

The stampede for increased state controls are accelerating. Stewart Baker, the NSA's chief counsel under Bush, told the Times that the "privacy standards the administration wants to adopt will make the system both unwieldy and less effective and not good for security." Baker and his ilk argue that all internet users "should be forced to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads."

Considering that police have increasingly turned to license plate readers that are fast becoming "a fixture in local police arsenals," as the Center for Investigative Reporting revealed last month, and that such devices have been deployed for political surveillance here in the heimat and abroad, as both The Guardian and Seattle Weekly disclosed in reports documenting outrageous secret state spying, a licensing scheme for internet users is an ominous analogy indeed!

The Grim Road Ahead

A confidence game only works when "marks," in this case American citizens, allow themselves to be defrauded by a person or group who have gained their trust.

And when trust cannot be won through reason, fear tends to take over as a powerful motivator. This is amply on display when it comes to Washington's ginned-up "cybersecurity" panic.

According to this reading, fraudulent internet schemes, identity theft, even espionage by state- and non-state actors (say corporate spies who benefit from NSA's ECHELON program) have been transformed into a "war," one which Bush's former Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell, currently an executive vice president with the spooky Booz Allen Hamilton firm, claims the U.S. is "losing."

But as security technology expert Bruce Schneier wrote last week, "There's a power struggle going on in the U.S. government right now.

"It's about who is in charge of cyber security, and how much control the government will exert over civilian networks. And by beating the drums of war, the military is coming out on top."

Schneier avers that "the entire national debate on cyberwar is plagued with exaggerations and hyperbole." Googling "cyberwar," as well as "'cyber Pearl Harbor,' 'cyber Katrina,' and even 'cyber Armageddon'--gives some idea how pervasive these memes are. Prefix 'cyber' to something scary, and you end up with something really scary."

Hackers, criminals and sociopaths have been around since the birth of the "information superhighway." Schneier writes, "we surely need to improve our cybersecurity. But words have meaning, and metaphors matter. There's a power struggle going on for control of our nation's cybersecurity strategy, and the NSA and DoD are winning. If we frame the debate in terms of war, if we accept the military's expansive cyberspace definition of 'war,' we feed our fears."

This is precisely the intent of our political masters. And if the purpose of "cyberwar" hype is to breed fear, mistrust and helplessness in the face of relentless attacks by shadowy actors only a mouse click away then, as Schneier sagely warns: "We reinforce the notion that we're helpless--what person or organization can defend itself in a war?--and others need to protect us. We invite the military to take over security, and to ignore the limits on power that often get jettisoned during wartime."

Destroy trust, increase fear: create the "Perfect Citizen."

Against an Egyptian Origin of the Giza Pyramids (cont.)
By Nick Kollerstrom, PhD
People complain there is a lack of evidence for an earlier culture that could have build the Giza pyramids. (34) Permit me to suggest that Graham Hancock's argument about the Piri Reis map remains relevant: that this world-map derives from an original which dates back to a time before Antarctica was covered in ice, i.e. at the latest c.4000 BC; and that the team of Charles Hapgood were able to analyse this map to ascertain the location on earth from where it was projected; which they found to be Aswan, in upper Egypt. (35) Quite a lot of discerning authors have viewed the Great Pyramid as somehow representing the Northern Hemisphere (scaled by the third power of sixty, to its circumference and polar radius (36)) and this could well be relevant to whoever was able to construct that world map, millennia ago, from a site not very far away.

Were the limestone blocks used at Giza made and not quarried? New research on their material texture suggests this. Pyramid casing stones have been found to be light in density and to contain numerous trapped air bubbles, unlike the quarry samples which are uniformly dense. Microscopic examination indicates that some of the silicon-containing granules were either 'amorphous or nanocrystalline, which is consistent with a relatively rapid precipitation reaction. The sophistication and endurance of this ancient concrete technology is simply astounding.' (37) But, did the Egyptians have such technology? If the stones were made and not mined, this eliminates much historical conjecture – most of it, in fact. It could be time for a fresh start.

Criminal Negligence: Despite Knowing It Had a Damaged Blowout Preventer, BP STILL Cut Corners By Removing the Single Most Important Safety Measure

Several weeks before the Gulf oil explosion, a key piece of safety equipment - the blowout preventer - was damaged.

As the Times of London reports:

[Mike Williams, the chief electronics technician on the Deepwater Horizon, and one of the last workers to leave the doomed rig] claimed that the blowout preventer was then damaged when a crewman accidentally moved a joystick, applying hundreds of thousands of pounds of force. Pieces of rubber were found in the drilling fluid, which he said implied damage to a crucial seal. But a supervisor declared the find to be “not a big deal”, Mr Williams alleged.

UC Berkeley engineering professor Bob Bea told 60 Minutes that a damaged blowout preventer not only may lead to a catastrophic accident like the Gulf oil spill, but leads to inaccurate pressure readings, so that the well operator doesn't know the real situation, and cannot keep the rig safe.

Bea also said that - despite the damage - BP ordered the rig operator to ignore an even more critical safety measure. Specifically, BP ordered the rig operator to remove the "drilling mud" - a heavy liquid used to keep oil and gas from escaping - before the well was sealed.
The importance of drilling mud is well-known. For example:

Frank Patton, a drilling engineer for the government's Mineral Management Service, which oversees offshore drilling, told a separate inquiry in Kenner, La., that drilling mud "is the most important thing in safety for your well."

And numerous eyewitnesses have confirmed that drilling mud was removed too early.

For example, as the Times-Picayune reports:

Bickford's client, who was working immediately next to the drill floor at the time of the explosion, claims the rig operators had already started pumping mud out of the riser....

"We had set the bottom cement plug," the [whistleblower] said. "At that point the BOP stack, the blowout preventer, was tested. I don't know the results of that test. However, it must have passed because at that point they elected to displace the marine riser from the vessel to the sea floor. They displaced all the mud out to the riser preparing to unlatch from the well two days later. So they displaced it with sea water."

***

Bickford said his client saw mud being pumped out of the riser and onto boats that normally collect the mud in tanks. Another lawyer, Stuart Smith, said he represents fishermen who witnessed the explosion and saw the mud being extracted beforehand.

And The Beat Goes On...

“You’re Next”, US Warns Iran After Turkey Earthquake Hit

By: Sorcha Faal,

Russian military intelligence directorate (GRU) sources are reporting to Prime Minister Putin that during an unprecedented meeting held between Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and United States Secretary of Defense Robert Gates this morning in Kabul, Afghanistan, the Persian Nation was bluntly told by the US that they were next to be targeted by their HAARP Earthquake Weapon that has been terrorizing the entire World these past few months.

The GRU is reporting that this meeting was requested by the US and upon his landing in Afghanistan Gates was brought to Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s offices where Ahmadinejad was awaiting him, and who had been in Afghanistan on a scheduled visit while Gates showing up in the war-zone was ‘unannounced’.

These GRU reports state that Gates warned Ahmadinejad that Iran could expect to be catastrophically hit within the month by the Americans HAARP Earthquake Weapon if their nuclear activities were not stopped. Ahmadinejad, these reports continue, mocked Gates by saying “you’ve already missed” (in reference to the deadly earthquake that had just hit neighboring Turkey) to which the US Defense Secretary replied “We never miss”, a comment the GRU describes as being an “admission” that Turkey, like Haiti and Chile before them, had been deliberately targeted by the Americans.

To the United States anger at Turkey lying behind their being targeted by this most devastating of weapons we had previously reported on in our March 5th report “Obama’s ‘Muslim Move’ Sparks Fear In Russia, EU, China” wherein we had stated:

“Russian diplomatic reports circulating in the Kremlin today are warning that President Obama’s [photo top left with Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan] “moves” to estrange Turkey from the West are a danger to the entire World as this present NATO member, and European Union candidate, is being “deliberately” pushed into the “arms of Iran” by the Americans as a “counterweight” to Israel as the Americans prepare for Total Global War.

The latest American affront against Turkey occurred yesterday when Obama’s ruling party authorized a resolution condemning the Turks for the World War I “genocide” of the Armenian people, a measure former President Bush warned would cause “great harm” in the defense of his refusal to allow the passing of this resolution to happen on his watch.

Turkey’s anger against Obama was swift in coming as within mere minutes of this resolution passing they ordered their Ambassador to “immediately leave” Washington and return home and further stated, “We condemn this resolution which accuses the Turkish nation of a crime it has not committed”.

In previous reports we have, also, explained the Americans development, deployment and use of this cataclysmic weapon, and as you can read from our January 14th report “US Quake Test Goes “Horribly Wrong”, Leaves 500,000 Dead In Haiti” our January 22nd report “World Trembles As US Prepares New Quake Test” and our February 28th report “US Puts South America “On Notice” With Catastrophic Chile Quake Test”.

Important to note about the United States growing anger against Iran is that it doesn’t only involve their nuclear programme, but also the Iranian’s recent capturing of one of the CIA’s top terrorists who these reports state continues to give the Persians some of the most valuable intelligence they’ve ever had on Americas true and brutal goals for Global hegemony, and as we had previously reported on in our February 28th report “Iran Captures Top CIA Terrorist In US Air Force Afghan Showdown”.
