UFO Aliens Give a Warning to Humanity at American Nuclear Sites

UFO Aliens Give a Warning to Humanity at American Nuclear Sites % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Image by Sweet One via Flickr By Grant Lawrence Bodhi Thunder For years there have been reports of UFOs disrupting the operation of Nukes at Air Force bases. Now a group of officers will be holding a press conference on September 27th, at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to tell of their experiences with UFO compromising American nuclear weapons. ….Witness testimony from more than 120 former or retired military personnel points to an ongoing and alarming intervention by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear weapons sites, as recently as 2003. In some cases, several nuclear missiles simultaneously and inexplicably malfunctioned while a disc-shaped object silently hovered nearby. Six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about these events at the National Press Club and urge the government to publicly confirm their reality. One of them, ICBM launch officer Captain Robert Salas, was on duty during one missile disruption incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base and was ordered to never discuss it. Another participant, retired Col. Charles Halt, observed a disc-shaped object directing beams of light down into the RAF Bentwaters airbase in England and heard on the radio that they landed in the nuclear weapons storage area. Both men will provide stunning details about these events, and reveal how the U.S. military responded….(source: reuters) I don’t believe the Air Force Officers that will come forward about UFOs compromising nukes are lying. Rather the UFO activity over American nuclear installations appears to have started with Roswell. Roswell was where the planes flew out of to drop the first atomic bombs on Japan. Not far from Roswell, was the first test of a nuclear bomb at the Trinity test site. This leads us to a larger issue. Why would UFO Aliens be concerned with humanity’s nuclear development? Many people claim that ETs are evil because they test humans and perhaps are taking genetic material. But I see them closely and peacefully monitoring earth’s environmental degradation and a foolish humanity as it moves dangerously close to an extinction event. Many contactees, or abductees, tell us that the ETs are deeply concerned with what humans are doing to themselves and the planet. Their actions at the American nuclear sites are a warning to the power structure that the ungodly number of nukes they have amassed are an extreme danger to humanity. It is clear that Aliens could have destroyed humanity long ago, if they were interested in doing so. Instead, they have been interacting with humans throughout the millennium and they seem to have a deep interest in our development. Their actions at American nuclear sites should not be looked on as an attack but as a warning. Humanity cannot and will not survive if we continue foolishly flirting with doomsday technologies. From unregulated Petro-Chemicals that are killing the planet to the nuclear madness that could destroy humanity in a matter of minutes, the ET are taking an active interest in the fate we are creating. Aliens may intervene on a grand scale, and perhaps they have. But I am not counting on it. They have given us warnings, like their interference at nuclear sites, but it is up to humanity to take the warning and do something constructive to save themselves from a technology in the hands of psychopaths and the near soulless that rule the world.

The user, AMERICANPATRIOT, says he was and seems pretty articulate. We’ll let readers watch the following video and decide. Okay, so the guy sounds pretty adamantly anti-Obama–but isn’t that allowed in America? What specifically did AMERICANPATRIOT get banned for? What specific part of YouTube’s Terms of Service did AMERICANPATRIOT violate? Is there another side to this story?

Google & YouTube Lump Truthers, Patriots and Terrorists

Google & YouTube Lump Truthers, Patriots and Terrorists (Before It's News) By TheIntelHub & TheAvalonRoundTable All Rights Reserved © 2010 All of the suspected Conspiracy Theories against YouTube have been proven to be true, according to G4T, a major player in the YouTube Community. George4Title came onto the YouTube scene some time ago and created many blockbuster videos, the result of which was a personal invitation to the corporate headquarters earlier on in 2010 to discuss his new partnership offer and how to better position his content. G4T reluctantly went to the corporate office against some advice from friends. Many observations and insights into YouTube’s back office were made by George4Title (G4T) that day and from conversations with staff since that visit. Many of his observations were extremely troubling according to G4T. Among the most shocking of G4T’s observations are that YouTube and Google are one and the same. Tracking of viewer activity is number one at Google and YouTube so that user’s online experiences, considered private by many, are logged and data-mined, and perhaps even worse – providing data for profiling. G4T stated on TheIntelHub Monday show, that aired September 20, 2010 at 3:00 pm Pacific Time, that Google & YouTube employees are required to support the Obama Administration and agenda, or else they’re gone – paraphrasing. Obama stickers and a clear support of the Obama Administration’s Policies are Front and Center everywhere. According to G4T, Google YouTube is a “Leftist Organization” and they are “Promoting Socialist Values, Suppressing Video Counts, De-Indexing Patriot & Truther Channels and are Against Freedom and Free-Market Principles.” The suppression of users content is reportedly based on a formula that consist of profiling user content, and if it is Patriot or Truther content or non-commercial content, it is suppressed and thrown in with Racist and Terrorist content, according to G4T’s description of the mechanics that operate at YouTube. Specific proof of this activity was not provided, so to some degree, this is commentary and is the general opinion of G4T. Because of YouTube’s monopoly of online video content, by de-indexing or otherwise manipulating the placement of user’s content, the viewer counts are basically destroyed – contrary to what would occur naturally if YouTube followed the Principle of Freedom – which G4T admits sadly Google and YouTube are against. Inside Google’s YouTube, G4T discussed with Shepard Ambellas of TheIntelHub, that Google & YouTube Executives are supporters of the Socialist Agenda, support the Obama Administration explicitly and reportedly are “De-Indexing Content by cutting off 80% of your links and selectively removing videos that are not following their agenda.” YouTube Users who do not realize what is happening, have been commenting on the changes and open hostile actions of YouTube for some time by making videos that exhort YouTube for their“EVIL” actions. G4T stated, to paraphrase, that ”Google and YouTube are cutting off the videos against the natural inclination of the internet and that they are doing that because they have a monopoly of video content on the Internet and are abusing that monopoly.” G4T recommends that to see what is going on, to go to the front page and do a refresh. One can see what’s being promoted and perhaps even padded with false viewer counts, although adjusting viewer counts is speculation and just another conspiracy theory – right. The reader is also encouraged to check out the blatant Corporate Sponsorships in the Movie and Music categories. If your not mainstream and corporate – your channel and videos are not in these main categories, regardless of how popular they are. According to G4T, “Go to the front page of YouTube to see what they are supporting – the major corporate content. These videos are purposely put on the front page – not by natural video counts.” Related Posts: Google & YouTube Lump Truthers, Patriots and Terrorists ©, .

Pelosi: Sessions’ Russia Contacts ‘Completely Different’ From Loretta Lynch’s Secret Meetings With Bill Clinton [VIDEO]

This post was originally published on this site RINF Daily Caller March 3, 2017 Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday that current Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ alleged contacts with Russian officials are “completely different, day and night” from the secret meetings former Attorney General Loretta Lynch took with Bill Clinton during the 2016 election. WATCH: “There couldn’t be a starker difference,” the House Minority Leader stated. “Attorney General Lynch had a social encounter, serendipitous, some might say, that the former president of the United States came by to say hello and they discussed their grandchildren.” “She did not have a major role in the Hillary Clinton campaign,” she continued. “This is a completely different thing. The reason we have been saying that the Attorney General Sessions should step aside and maybe should never have been confirmed is because he was a surrogate.” “He was a very important part, one of the first people in the Congress to endorse President Trump, and now we see that he — although he has not told the truth about it — had conversations with Russian officials.” “This couldn’t be more stark in terms of relationship to the campaign and who the attorney general was speaking to,” she repeated. “No, they’re completely different, day and night.” This article was posted: Friday, March 3, 2017 at 8:22 am

Oregon Has More Food Stamp Recipients Than Public School Students

Oregon Has More Food Stamp Recipients Than Public School Students FOLLOW US! The state of Oregon has more food stamp recipients than students enrolled in the state’s public schools, according to a Breitbart News analysis of state and federal data. Oregon currently has 725,307 people enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the program in charge of doling out food stamps, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics on food stamp enrollment. According to the Oregon Department of Education, enrollment in the state’s K-12 public schools for the 2016-2017 school year totaled 578,947. In other words, 146,360 more people are receiving government assistance than getting an education in K-12 public schools in the state.

Fish Kill Washes Up Thousands of Dead Fish On Wildwood New Jersey Beaches – AGAIN

(Before It's News) I originally wrote an article explaining that days after tar balls hit New York beaches massive fish kills stretched from New Jersey to Massachusetts. On August 5th I wrote about tar balls with the consistency of those being found from the BP Spill in the Gulf being found on a Long Island, NY beach. Tar balls are now being found washing up at Lookout Point Beach in Long Island New York according to video just posted on YouTube. Here are some screen shots from the video. … Clearly these tar balls are much more fresh and less weathered than the ones I found and the emulsified consistency is very similar to the light Louisiana sweet crude most commonly found all along the coast although I should point out that heavier black asphalt like tar balls have also been found from the BP Oil Spill. … TAR BALLS HIT NEW YORK BEACH ?? – bp oil gulf 1 of 2 … In that same post I also pointed out that I found hundreds of tar balls on Windward Beach in Brick NJ along with the similarities between reports of deep sea life usually not found in shallow waters flocking to the coast in the Gulf to reports of unusual shark sightings in shallow waters in the Northeast from the Jersey Shore all the way up to Cape Cod. Now just days after I posted that article there are now reports of tens of thousands of dead fish along miles of beaches from stretching from Delaware Bay NJ all the way to Massachusetts. CBS 3 KYW out of Philadelphia reports on the thousands of fish washing up along miles of NJ beaches. Tens of thousands of dead fish have washed ashore along the Delaware Bay in southern New Jersey. … New Jersey’s Bureau of Marine Water Monitoring reviewed results of water samples taken Wednesday by federal environmental officials and found no indication of toxic phytoplankton species, such as red tide. Not surprisingly the thousands of dead fish in found along miles of beaches in Massachusetts were blamed on low levels of oxygen within hours of their discovery reports local news station ABC 6. Posted: Aug 09, 2010 11:09 AM EDT A fish kill occurred Monday morning in the area of West Island/Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven. … State officials are investigating, and at the moment officials are speculating a loss of oxygen in the water is to blame. … -From the Mass. Department of Environmental Management First tar balls In NJ and New York. The several species of sharks found swimming in shallow waters from NJ up to Massachusetts. Now massive fish kills in the North East stretching from NJ to NY and Massachusetts and in all locations life long residents say they have never seen anything like this. Are these all just coincidence? The similarities and the timing between these events and the events occurring throughout the Gulf of Mexico should prompt officials to take a closer look and find the real cause of these incidents. Instead we see Massachusetts officials declaring the fish kill was due from lack of oxygen within hours without doing any tests and NJ officials ignoring reports of tar balls on the beaches. More videos of fish kills in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Virginia and Mississippi in last week.

Is America Today In Worse Shape Than Japan During Its Lost Decade?

Is America Today In Worse Shape Than Japan During Its Lost Decade? % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) As I noted last year: Our savings is … dramatically lower than Japan’s when that country entered into its Lost Decade. So the Japanese were much better prepared than we are. (I also noted that we’re in worse shape than America was going into the Great Depression … but that’s another story). Now, BIS – the central banks’ central bank – agrees that Americans are in worse shape than the Japanese. Specifically, a new BIS paper written by Shinobu Nakagawa (Director, Head of Investment and Market Research, International Department, Bank of Japan) and Yosuke Yasui (International Department, Bank of Japan) concludes that Japan was better able to weather the Lost Decade than the U.S. is able to weather our current economic woes, given three differences between the two cultures: This paper aims to show the difference in vulnerability to financial shocks between Japan’s household sector and its banking sector and between the Japanese and US household sectors. *** The average Japanese household has a financial balance sheet that is far more conservative than that of the representative household in other industrialised countries: in the case of Japan, cash and deposits represent half of total financial assets…. In contrast, the ratio for US households is only 16%, while Europeans hold about one fourth to one third of financial assets in these safe and liquid products. *** Japanese households did not rely much on mortgage funding in the bubble period around 1990 …. The representative Japanese household accumulated the large down payment required for purchasing a home on credit and, unlike many homeowners in the United States, did not subsequently extract equity from the house through additional bank loans. *** The conservative approach to debt taken by Japanese households mitigated the effects of the decade-long economic slump. Indeed, household bankruptcies were not widely recorded in that period because the quantity of safe and liquid buffer assets, such as bank deposits and postal savings, was always greater than debt on the average household balance sheet. *** Credit risks are eventually concentrated in the Japanese banking system, which has not changed fundamentally in decades. Securitisation markets are, in contrast, well developed in the United Kingdom and the United States. UK and US banks are eager to transfer credit risks to a variety of investors in the financial system, including life insurers, pension funds and hedge funds…. Particularly for the markets in which off-balance sheet securitisation has deeply penetrated the credit markets – once credit, liquidity or other shocks occur, they could trigger the onset of risk contagion across a wide range of economic agents, including households. *** The difference between the highest and lowest income groups [in the U.S.] is far greater than in Japan…. Net worth is much more evenly distributed in Japan [than in the U.S.] *** The differences we found can be summarised as follows: (1) Household leverage, relative to both safe and liquid assets and to GDP, is smaller in Japan than in other industrialised countries, and was so even during Japan’s bubble period. (2) The finances of Japanese households were not severely damaged by the mid-1990s bursting of the bubble. Banks, however, with their large accumulation of household deposits on the liability side of their balance sheets, were a victim of their large holdings of defaulted corporate loans and the resulting capital deterioration during the bust; in response, banks tightened credit significantly during this period. (3) Household net worth in Japan is not highly concentrated. Thus, regardless of income level, Japanese households are in general resilient to shocks thanks to a sizeable buffer of assets and moderate leverage. The situation is quite different in the United States, where the distribution of net worth among households is highly skewed in favour of the highest-income cohorts. With only a thin buffer of assets, low-income families in the United States – the subprime cohorts – could be vulnerable to market shocks. On the other hand, U.S. age demographics aren’t quite as horrible as Japan’s. As I noted last year: The following chart shows that Japan has the worst demographics of all, with a staggering percentage of elderly who need to be taken care of by the young: Chart 2: Old Age Dependency Ratios for Selected Countries Source: http://data.un.org/ The chief economist for Standard and Poor’s is now confirming the importance of national demographics: But I don’t think [a lost decade in the U.S. is] as likely over here. For one thing, one of the problems in Japan was the demographics. And we don’t have the problem of a declining population to deal with, although the labor force is going to slow down considerably as soon as the baby boomers retire. Similarly, CNN Money reported last month: Some economists think there is a very important difference between Japan and the United States that can’t be overlooked. And it could keep the U.S. from plunging into a long-term deflationary spiral. Demographics. Simply put, the United States is not faced with as big of a percentage of people getting older and retiring as was the case in Japan during its Lost Decade. According to research from Brockhouse Cooper, a brokerage firm based in Montreal, the percentage of people aged 65 or older nearly doubled in Japan between 1990 and 2008. Meanwhile, that percentage has stayed roughly the same in the U.S. So even though there are a lot more people in the U.S. that are retiring as the Baby Boomer generation gets older, total population growth is rising due to high fertility rates and increased immigration. That’s key since younger consumers tend to spend more. “Demographics are the main difference between Japan and the United States. Aging in Japan was a huge issue that led to stagnation,” said Alex Bellefleur, a financial economist with Brockhouse Cooper. “Senior citizens tend to have consumption patterns that are a lot different than their younger counterparts. They’re not buying as many homes, cars and other durable goods.” There’s also the issue of what governments have to do in order to support their aging populations. With a greater percentage of older retirees, that puts a bigger strain on fiscal budgets, which could contribute to deflationary pressure and economic sluggishness. Along those lines, Japan currently has only 2.9 workers supporting retirees, said Tom Higgins, chief economist with Payden & Rygel, a Los Angeles-based money management firm. By way of comparison, there are 5 workers for each retired person in the United States. For that reason, Higgins said it is an “overly simplistic generalization” to suggest that the United States is destined for its own Lost Decade just because the U.S. and Japan both experienced a nasty downturn following an asset bubble. Simply put, the strain on the U.S. government by an aging population shouldn’t be as severe as it was in Japan. Indeed, as the following chart from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs clearly shows, the aging of Japan’s population from 1990 onward has far outstripped the projected aging of the American population (trace Japan from 1990 onward with your finger; then do the same for the U.S. starting in 2010): (America’s demographics are still horrible compared to those of countries like India, but still better than Japan’s). Moreover, as I’ve previously pointed out, the peak spending years are younger in Japan than in the U.S.: The peak Japanese spending range has been estimated to be comprised of 39-43 year olds. The more 39-43 year olds Japan has at any given time, the more consumer spending there will be, as these are the folks who are the big spenders in Japan. Dent argues that the Japanese economy will tend to grow when the number of 39-43 year olds grows, and to shrink when it shrinks. *** In the U.S., Dent says, 46-50 year olds are the biggest spenders, because that is when – on average – they are paying for their kids’ college, paying mortgage on the biggest house they will own during their life, and making other big-ticket purchases. In other words, aging hurts Japan more than it hurts the U.S., because the peak earning years are 7 years younger in Japan than in the U.S. Of course, if unemployment doesn’t decline, this point may be moot … unemployed 46-50 year olds are not going to be peak earners.

On the Colorado tragedy, medical bills and health insurance

(Before It's News) Our hearts of course go out to the victims of last week’s horrific shooting spree, and we wish the survivors a quick and full recovery. But some folks have already decided to politicize the attack, noting that “ [s]ome of the victims … may face another challenge when they get out of the hospital: enormous medical bills without the benefit of health insurance .” The article then goes on to speculate, with zero evidence, that even though there’s “no exact count of how many of them don’t have insurance … statistics suggest many of them might not be covered.” Let’s leave aside for the moment that such speculation is what got Brian Ross in hot water in the first place, and grant that some (many?) of those at the theater were uninsured. How come no one’s asking “why?” It appears that most of those in attendance were young (teens, twenties and thirties), hardly a high-risk (and thus high premium) demographic. And remember, under the new health care law, those 26 and younger COULD have been on their parents’ plans. That they chose to be uninsured is on them. Heck, the wife of one victim is pregnant – without insurance. How were they going to pay for that? HOW they ended up in the hospital has NOTHING to do with the fact that they CHOSE to be uninsured. Some years ago, we discussed the sad case of “Amanda,” another young person who chose not to buy insurance. She ran up almost $$2 million in bills for cancer treatment. She didn’t expect to get cancer any more than the folks in the theater expected to be shot. The good news for the Colorado victims is that at least some of their bills will be waived, and their fellow citizens (and Warner Brothers) have generously contributed funds to help pay for their care. But using their plight to score political points is an insult to folks who do play by the rules and accept personal responsibility.

Agent in the Clink: Update

Agent in the Clink: Update % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Last week, we reported on the unfortunate case of Aloha State insurance agent Kathleen Kau , who was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for raiding her clients’ insurance policies. We wondered what kind of life insurance policy came with a checkbook (as described in the original article), and reached out to the reporter and to TransAmerica. We were unable to connect with the former, but yesterday got this answer from Cindy Nodorft (she’s in Transamerica’s Corporate Communications area): “Thanks for your inquiry. I’ve learned that the policy at issue was part of a block of business assumed by Transamerica Life Insurance Company that allowed policyholders to obtain policy loans. This practice was discontinued in about 2005.” I guess that makes sense, although I’d never heard of carriers issuing checkbooks with loans. It strikes me that this sounds more like a line of credit than a typical loan, but at least we now have an answer. Thanks, Cindy! Original content copyright © InsureBlog Source:

Bodhi Bit–Happiness % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Image via Wikipedia By Grant Lawrence Bodhi Thunder Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. The Buddha People treat spiritual things as if they were material. We know that if we have money and share it with others that we will have less of it. However, we think that if we share our kindness and happiness with others that their gain will be our loss. Ultimately, we must learn that happiness is a state of mind that arises from sharing and caring. That we cannot be really happy when we are focused only on ourselves and our own pleasures. Happiness is a byproduct of right living. Mainly we can sum living rightly by the Buddha’s Noble 8 fold path which is right view, right intention, right action, right speech, right livelihood, right effort, and right mindfulness, and right concentration. We cannot will ourselves to be happy. But we can will ourselves to live rightly which will lessen suffering and produce much happiness in our lives. Read more at Grant Lawrence

CIA paid Liverpool buyout tycoon millions…to use his jet for ‘torture’ flights

CIA paid Liverpool buyout tycoon millions…to use his jet for ‘torture’ flights % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) By Sharon Churcher and Chris Hastings A jet owned by a senior executive in the US firm which has bought Liverpool Football Club was chartered by the CIA and used in flights allegedly linked to the rendition of terror suspects. The plane is owned by Phillip Morse, 69, the vice-chairman of New England Sports Ventures, which bought the club on Friday for £300million. An investigation has established that between 2002 and 2005 the CIA chartered the plane from Mr Morse for millions of pounds and made extensive use of it. Paid by the CIA: Philip Morse, above right, with ex-U.S. president George Bush Snr Inquiries by the European Parliament and human rights groups have linked the plane to alleged extraordinary rendition operations which took place during the same period. A European Parliament report linked the jet directly to the abduction of Abu Omar, an Islamic preacher, who was snatched from a Milan street by the CIA in 2003 before being taken to Cairo. Extraordinary rendition entails the abduction and transfer of a terrorist suspect from one country to another. People have been taken to states such as Egypt, Syria, Morocco and Uzbekistan which are suspected of practising torture in violation of a United Nations Convention. The disclosure that such a senior figure in New England Sports Ventures (NESV) has been paid millions by the CIA is likely to alarm football fans already concerned that one of the country’s most prestigious clubs is still in American hands. Snatched: Abu Omar was apprehended by the CIA while in Italy Mr Omar was snatched by the CIA in 2003 despite having been granted political asylum by the Italian government. He was moved to an American air force base at Aviano near Venice before being transported to a NATO base in Ramstein in Germany. He was then flown from Germany to Cairo. The European Parliament report reproduced flight documents for Mr Morse’s jet, which carries the logo of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, also owned by NESV, on its tail fin. The 19-seater Gulfstream IV, with the registration N85VM, flew from Washington to Ramstein on February 4, 2003. On February 17, the day of Mr Omar’s abduction and rendition, the plane left Ramstein at 6.52pm and arrived in Cairo at 10.30pm. The following day the plane made the return journey to Washington via Shannon in Ireland. MEPs and European rights campaigners believe the plane may have been used in other rendition operations. They point out that its travel destinations, which are detailed in flight logs, are totally at odds with those expected of a normal private charter jet. During the same period it was on loan to the CIA the jet flew to Kabul in Afghanistan, Rabat in Morocco, Tripoli in Libya and Baku in Azerbaijan. The jet, which changed its registrations details in December 2004 to N227SV, also made at least 51 trips to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. read more here> >

From the P&C Files: Iran, Shipping, Insurance and Oil

(Before It's News) Bacon Beacon (oops, sorry), piqued my interest: Although we primarily concern ourselves with life and health insurance, we’re certainly no strangers to the Property and Casualty side of the biz. This item in the Washington FreeBeacon (oops, sorry), piqued my interest: “The insurance industry and … lawmakers are attempting to water down a new Iran sanctions bill that would penalize any company that underwrites Iranian affiliates“ Since this is rather outside my bailiwick, I turned (again) to our resident on-call P&C guru, Bill M, who helped me get my head around it. Here goes: Acme Industries, which ships oil-drilling equipment to Iran, calls AIG (hey, it’s called American International Group for a reason) for a quote. AIG asks all the pertinent questions (including what’s being shipped, from where, to where, etc) and generates a quote. Acme likes what it sees, and purchases the policy. Six months later, Acme is sanctioned for “bolstering the Iranian oil industry.” Under the bill currently wending its way through the House, AIG would then also be sanctioned. The “prominent lawmakers” mentioned above would prefer to let AIG (or whomever) off the hook. This item raises a number of questions: First, would it have mattered if Acme had already been sanctioned before seeking that AIG quote? Are “sanctions” to this process what speeding tickets are to auto insurance? Second, what if Acme had bought the policy from a broker in London? After all, it’s not unreasonable to presume that a carrier might have offices in other countries in addition to a presence here. If you have experience in this market, we’d appreciate any thoughts you might have on this.

ObamaTax: Told ya so % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Bob mentioned this last night, but I wanted to toss in my 2¢. Regular IB readers won’t be surprised that: I think that’s lowballing it, and here’s why: First, the ridiculously onerous MLR requirements , which add nothing of value but do add lots of extra costs to group plans. Determining who’s eligible, calculating employees’ shares, and tracking down former employees who might have been covered for only a month sounds like a great reason to bail. pay employers to offer group health plans? Second, those much-touted small business tax credits (subsidies) were a complete bust ; how bad is it when you can’t evenemployers to offer group health plans? Third, what about all those companies with, say 55 or 60 employees? They’re over the mandate threshold , but not exactly in Fortune 500 territory. Letting go one or two folks might work (to get back below the threshold), but a dozen? Just doesn’t sound viable. Smartest alternative? Dump the group and eat the fine. Okay, maybe that’s more like a quarter’s worth. Original content copyright © InsureBlog Source:

Pakistan Embassy Denies Harboring AWOL Iran Nuke Scientist

Pakistan Embassy Denies Harboring AWOL Iran Nuke Scientist (Before It's News) As if the story of Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri wasn’t weird and complicated enough. Both the Pakistani and Iranian governments claimed this morning he’s taken refuge in Pakistani’s Washington embassy and is trying to get home. But a spokesperson at the Pakistani embassy flatly denies to Danger Room that Amiri is there. Amiri, you may recall, was abducted by U.S. spies last year during a trip to Mecca (at least, according to Tehran). Or perhaps he defected, and is now studying for his Ph.D. of his own free will in the States (according to American press accounts). Last month, a pair of videos surfaces supporting both versions of Amiri’s tale. The embassy is a pretty ideal location for intelligence-borne intrigue. It’s tucked away in a tony, bucolic area behind the University of the District of Columbia off of Connecticut Avenue NW. After Washington and Tehran severed ties following the 1979 revolution and hostage crisis, the embassy maintains a section representing Iran’s interests, so it’s a logical place for an allegedly-kidnapped Iranian to go. But a Pakistani embassy official tells Danger Room that the reports of Amiri turning up in the embassy are ”incorrect information” and “we have no one here” matching his description. That’s from an individual at the press office who didn’t identify herself and said she could not speak for the record. She added she couldn’t explain why a spokesman for the Pakistani Foreign Ministry in Islamabad told reporters that the scientist is at the embassy’s Iranian interest section, about two miles away from the main facility in D.C.’s Glover Park neighborhood. But she also didn’t split hairs: “He’s not in the embassy at all.” That said, the Iranian interest section is staffed by Iranians, not Pakistanis. A spokesman for the Iranian interest section, Ali Shahrazi, tells Danger Room, “When we arrived this morning, [Amiri] was here.” He dodged a question about whether the Pakistanis assisted in Amiri’s alleged arrival, saying that it was the job of Iranian staff to help Iranian nationals. But there are lots of questions remaining about Amiri’s true identity, to say nothing of his whereabouts. Two press officials at the Pakistani embassy authorized to speak for the record, Imran Gardezi or Nadeem Kiani, were not immediately available for comment. We’ll update this story when we reach them.

DISAPPEARING MIDDLE CLASS: 60-Year-Old Couple Lose Their Jobs And Home

DISAPPEARING MIDDLE CLASS: 60-Year-Old Couple Lose Their Jobs And Home (Before It's News) july 12 2010 In 2008, David LaRochelle and his wife, Debbie, owned two houses: a single-family home in Southern Florida and a double-wide mobile home in Plains, Georgia, near her parents. They both worked at a resort hotel in Islamorada, Florida and earned a combined income of $$100,000 a year. Two years and a recession later, the 60-year-old couple are both unemployed, have drained their savings and 401Ks, are depending on Social Security, unemployment benefits and COBRA health insurance to stay afloat and are in the process of losing their Florida house in a devastating short sale. Their dilemma is an increasingly common one: they can no longer afford to make their mortgage payments without an income, but they can’t sell their house because they now owe more on it than it’s worth. “It’s been such a nightmare,” LaRochelle told HuffPost. “I tried to work something out with Wells Fargo, but they wouldn’t even talk to me until I was 30 days past due. We tried a deed in lieu three times because they ‘lost the paperwork’ twice, and then they turned it down because they said we hadn’t advertised our property at fair market value. I had no idea that our property had dropped in value from 139K to 49K, and I didn’t see how we could have advertised it for less than the 120K that we owed on it.” The LaRochelles are two of the nearly 2.4 million Americans who are seriously delinquent on their mortgage payments, thanks to plummeting property values and lingering unemployment. And according to the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit research and policy group, as many as 9 million homeowners could go into foreclosure in the next two years. Luckily, the LaRochelles still own their double-wide mobile home in rural Georgia, which will keep a roof over their heads for the near future while Debbie takes care of her ailing parents full-time and David searches for a new job. But he says the loss of their former middle class life hasn’t been easy. “I’m living about as cheap as you can live,” he said. “I was used to stopping at the grocery store and buying whatever I wanted to buy, walking into hardware stores or Home Depot and getting whatever I wanted to get. We’re definitely not middle class anymore. There basically isn’t a middle class here — there’s wealthy landowners that were raised with it, and the poor people who do everything. It’s like going into a Third World country.” Despite his frustrations with Wells Fargo and the pain of losing his house and job, LaRochelle says he and his wife are just grateful to be getting by. We’re out here in the middle of the country, but we’re making it,” he said. “All our credit cards are paid off and we have nothing to complain about. We found out just how incompetent one mortgage company is.” As part of our Bearing Witness series, the Huffington Post is rounding up stories of former middle class families who are struggling to stay afloat in the recession

CNN’s Sanchez: Dead Africans Good for War Against Manufactured Terror

CNN’s Sanchez: Dead Africans Good for War Against Manufactured Terror % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Infowars.com July 13, 2010 It’s somewhat of a bad joke when Republicans complain about the “liberal bias” at CNN. The propaganda outlet masquerading as a news network owned by the eugenicist Ted Turner is no more “liberal” than Fox News or any other transnational media corporation. CNN exists to dispense propaganda for the establishment. It has served as an outpost for military personnel from the Fourth Psychological Operations Group based at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina. It is a bright star in the Operation Mockingbird constellation. It has played the false right-left paradigm game for decades. Thus it comes as no surprise that the teleprompter reader Rick Sanchez would tell us the murder of 76 soccer fans in Uganda is a good thing because it underscores who the enemy is — Muslims radicalized through covert intelligence operations. Sanchez, of course, did not say anything about these covert intelligence operations. He does not have to. History speaks for itself. Al-Shabab, the shadowy Somalian terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for the attack, supposedly has ties to al-Qaeda. The CFR says senior Shabaab leaders trained in Afghanistan with al-Qaeda. In other words, they trained with the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI. “There is evidence that foreign fighters have trained Shabaab members on the use of weapons and how to construct roadside bombs,” explains the globalist outfit. “Young zealots were sent to the CIA’s spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught ’sabotage skills’ — terrorism,” writes John Pilger . “In Pakistan, they were directed by British MI6 officers and trained by the SAS.” Brzezinski dismissed the Afghan Mujahideen and ultimately al-Qaeda as “a few stirred up Muslims.” Nothing to worry about, really, unless you happen to be Ugandan or a family member of somebody who died on September 11, 2001. Until the elite can find an alternative — maybe invading aliens? — Muslims stirred up by the CIA, Mossad, and British intelligence will continue their slow burn jihad. The latest phase of this scam is the prospect of homegrown terrorists. Is it possible it was merely happenstance the bombing occurred as an African Union summit is about to take place in Uganda? Pan-Africanism is not about peacekeeping and saving the wretched victims of Darfur and Somalia. It’s about rolling Africa into the New World Order. Prior to the summit, the World Bank announced a “comprehensive program to restructure its strategy in Africa, hoping to recapture its relevance in the changing economic landscape,” in other words to further press Africa into the globalist fold. The truncheon to be used against Africa is the same one the World Bank and the IMF has used elsewhere in the third-world: Structural Adjustment Programs, or SAPs, a concerted effort to impose even more poverty under the guise of eliminating poverty. SAPs are wonderful for taking possession of vital natural resources and holding fire sales. The corporate media tells us the Islamists are calling for Uganda to withdraw their African Union peacekeeping forces from Somalia and this is why Al-Shabab bombed soccer fans. In fact, innocents were slaughtered in Kampala to underscore the claim that a globalist union is required in Africa to save it from terrorism. Thus Rick Sanchez’s comment that murder is a good thing. Murder and mayhem are good for the New World Order and its plan to turn the world into a sprawling slave grid ruled by inbred eugenicists. Murder and mayhem are designed to frighten us into submission, as Henry Kissinger noted. Rick Sanchez, as a highly paid whore for the globalists, is merely following orders and reading the script from a teleprompter. He is well paid for his service to the elite. www.infowars.com/cnns-sanchez-dead-africans-good-for-war-against-manufactured-terror/

U.N. Moves to Regulate the Global Arms Trade while U.S. Military Continues to Train for Mass Confiscation

U.N. Moves to Regulate the Global Arms Trade while U.S. Military Continues to Train for Mass Confiscation (Before It's News) Intel Hub On Monday, The United Nations began negotiating their legal binding treaty aimed at curbing the global arms trade, a step that can be seen as a major push towards their stated goal of regulating arms within the United States.The U.N. has steadfastly claimed that the treaty is aimed at stopping the illegal transfer of guns, yet others have voiced their concern that it is nothing less than the first step towards gun confiscation and a direct attack against our beloved constitution. Unfortunately, all indications point to the lather of the two. On multiple occasions, the United Nations has openly called for a treaty that would not only regulate the sell of small arms but make it next to impossible for law abiding citizens to posses a firearm. While shills such Factcheck.org have attempted to debunk these statements, the fact remains that the United Nations has not produced one shred of actual evidence that would indicate that this treaty will protect gun ownership by legal, law abiding citizens. The global elite have a documented history of slowly integrating their plans into our society and this is merely another example of their continued push towards, “Global Governance.” In late May, Former United Nation’s ambassador John Bolton cautioned gun owners about the Arms Trade Treaty and was quoted as saying , “The UN “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there’s no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”, Argentina’s U.N. Ambassador Roberto Garcia Moritan, specifically referenced the U.S. gun lobby and our God given 2 Amendment Right. That lobby is especially strong in the United States, where the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens the right to “keep and bear arms.” Since its inception, The United Nations has worked overtime in their attempt to supersede the American Constitution by way of an international treaty. At the same time, the very organizations that are expected to protect our rights are working tandem with the very people who support this type of legislation. The noted gun lobby organization known as the NRA, is apparently throwing their support behind notorious gun grabber Harry Reid over 2nd Amendment champion Sharon Angle. It is time for all Americans to move away from this controlled organization and shift towards groups such as Gun Owners of America. When talk of massive gun confiscations is brought up, the first question is usually how? Consider this: The U.S. military has trained for gun confiscations of the American people on multiple occasions. Just last week, infowars.com reported on the apparent gun confiscations carried out by National Guard troops in New York. The excuse given by the authorities was the burnt out, “drug interdiction” tactic, which is used to convince the American public that military engaging citizens is not only normal but actually a good thing. We must also remember the martial law type scenario in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where in a scene reminiscent of the book 1984, gun confiscations were openly touted as an, “unfortunate necessity.” With most of Europe already disarmed, America is the last major obstacle in the New World Orders attempt at disarming the entire world population in order to implement their plan for a total control grid capable of tracking our every move. theintelhub.com/2010/07/13/as-u-n-moves-to-regulate-the-global-arms-trade-the-u-s-military-continues-to-train-for-confiscation/

Vaccines: Human and Animal DNA

Vaccines: Human and Animal DNA (Before It's News) Marti Oakley, Contributing Writer Activist Post What is most likely a very common and somewhat primal fear in societies around the world is the revulsion and fear of consuming other human beings. What may increase this revulsion is being force fed other humans and not knowing that you did it. While we may not, as yet, be consuming other human beings per se, we are being injected via many vaccines with aborted fetal cells that could contain residual DNA, viruses and bacteria. I am not a doctor or scientist and don’t pretend to be. But even with my limited knowledge I can see not only the potential for great harm to humanity, but the unintended (intended?) consequences of tampering with human DNA, uncontrollable viruses, and bacteria. Science simply does not have enough knowledge at this date to be tampering with the consequences, unintended or not, of human DNA. While the issue of residual DNA is downplayed by the science community, they do take great care to determine the medical and genetic background of the parents of the aborted child from whose tissue cultures for the vaccine will be grown. This of course assumes they are rejecting defective DNA. Cell lines, which can be derived from aborted human babies, can last for decades and are developed from a single type of cell. Yet it is known that after continuous culturing these lines begin to mutate into cancer-causing agents. If these cell lines do this spontaneously in the lab, what are the chances they are doing the same thing once inside the human body where the culturing never ends? (These lines can also have their beginning from various sources of animal embryos, such as the kidney cells of monkeys or chicken embryos.) The science community marginalizes the possibility that residual DNA could pose health risks for those injected with vaccines using human cell lines, yet the fact remains that history has shown us this is not only a possibility, but that residual viruses and DNA disruptions from residual activity is a very real possibility. The Sabine polio vaccine, manufactured by Merck, was contaminated with Simian virus-40 (SV-40), a virus known to cause cancer. Yet, even when this was exposed in the early 1980s, Merck said only that they would make no further vaccines out of this cell stock. They continued to use existing supplies of the vaccine until it was depleted in 1992. Approximately 30 million children worldwide were injected with this vaccine. There are at least forty known simian viruses passed to humans through vaccination, and children are now found to be infected with SV-40. Human DNA was not decoded until 1983. Therefore, any vaccine produced before this time could not have included any DNA testing. It seems to me that childhood diseases are natures way of pumping up the immune system and preparing the human body for fighting possible viral or bacterial attacks that could come from most anywhere. Why we would be continuously injecting vaccines, which suppress the immune system repeatedly and continuously? There are several cells lines used for vaccines, most of which are childhood vaccines, but the two most prevalent lines are WI-38 and MRC-5. Both of these cell lines are very susceptible to a large number of human viruses which are used for testing. WI-38 WI are the initials for Wistar Institute of Philadelphia, Pennsylvanyia. The number (38) signifies the number of aborted fetuses Dr. Leonard Hayflick dissected before he successfully developed the cell line from the lung tissue of an aborted female baby of three months. Dr. Hayflick published his work in the medical journal, Experimental Cell Research. Hayflick disclosed in this publication that three separate cell lines had been developed from aborted babies. Included with the WI-38 were the WI-26 and the WI-44. MRC-5 This cell line was developed from the culturing of normal lung tissue of a 14 week old fetus. J. P. Jacobs published his work on MRC-5 in September 1966 (Nature 227: 168-170, 1970), http://www.cogforlife.org/NatureJacobsMRC-5.pdf From: Vaccine Contamination: The virus, (which in this case has a single strand of RNA for its genome) is capable of incorporating RNA from the cells in which it is cultured, into its own genome. If any contaminant RNA virus is present in a culture that contains ‘immortal’ (grown on cell line cultures) cancerous cells, this virus can easily mutate to include unwanted cancerous material , which can then get passed into the biological product intended for human/animal use. It is well known in the scientific community that after these cells have been repeatedly cultured a certain number of times, ‘something’ causes them to convert to a cancerous state. What happens when an immortal cell from a vaccine culture makes its way into the final vaccine product; does it keep dividing in the human/animal body? In vaccines, 100,000,000 bits and strands of human and or mammalian DNA are allowed per dose. This does not include viral contaminants. This does not include bacterial contaminations (endotoxins and excitotoxins). Many viruses lay dormant in the human body until a source of inflammation brings them to life. This source is appears most likely to be vaccines as is evidenced by the epidemic of autism and neurological disorders as inflammation commonly occurs when the vaccine passes the blood-brain barrier. We are being injected via vaccine with bits and pieces of other human beings; with the bits and pieces of other mammals. Whatever the intended purpose of vaccines was initially, it is apparent that too little is either known or acknowledged regarding the potential adverse side affects from co-mingling the DNA of humans and animals and the potential for viral and bacterial cross-contaminations that can and do occur. Several questions come to mind in light of today’s epidemic of neurological disorders prevalent is so many children, nearly all of whom have been vaccinated with dozens of vaccines. Is the staggering rate of autism actually the result of the use of human and other mammalian cell lines in vaccines, causing some sort of attack on the neurological system due to bacterial or viral contamination? Has anyone correlated the statistics on how many children who were vaccinated with the Sabine infected polio vaccine, who now have cancers or have died from cancers? Has anyone tested the current range of vaccines for such contaminations? Has anyone wondered if injecting human DNA back into another human being might not be just immoral or unethical, but might also be causing genetic disruptions and mutations that could possibly be hereditary? Human tumors containing SV-40 cancer virus are now found in 61% of autopsies of those who died after age 55. These are linked directly to the SV-40 virus contained in the polio vaccines given from the 1950s through the 1960s. So what are we injecting our children, and ourselves with? What is its actual purpose? Vaccines have caused more death and injury worldwide than the diseases they supposedly were meant to eradicate or reduce. How many have to die or be injured for “the greater good”? When will we stop accepting terms such as “acceptable or anticipated levels of death and injury” as a result of not only vaccines, but also medications? When did it become OK for thousands of children and adults to die or be permanently injured for life and then claim that because thousands of others didn’t . . . this must be all right? It isn’t! When did it become acceptable to kill or injure anyone while you marketed a product for profit that you were unsure of and didn’t know everything you should have known about? The other side of this is unthinkable: Maybe they did know.

SURVIVEUSA, Preparedness Items (Like Water Filters & Purifiers) Have Waiting Lists From The Manufacturers

SURVIVEUSA, Preparedness Items (Like Water Filters & Purifiers) Have Waiting Lists From The Manufacturers (Before It's News) By Michael Roach Recently I was notified that a preparedness store was opening in our area, The Grand Opening of SurviveUSA in Calico Rock Ar . They would be having their grand opening in May 14th. This business is specializing in “Everything you always wanted, but didn’t know where to buy it”, Like this list of items. Bulk food and food preparation equipment MREs Bulk Spices Water Filters & Purifiers Communications Equipment, CD radios, 2-way communications Emergency & Weather radios Instructional Books Ammunition Home supplies Military surplus, ammo cans Home Defense & Security items & equipment Heirloom Seeds Wood Stoves Medical Kits Emergency generators Batteries & battery-powered items Outdoor & camping supplies Containers Canning supplies Instructional classes Solar & wind power units The alarming thing was as I read down the page the statement was made, Many items are in short supply, already on backorder or for other reasons not in yet: Katydyne & Berkey water filters, body armor, food grinders, home & vehicle medical kits, solar units, American-made American flags & others. Put your name on wish lists & we’ll notify you when your items come in. Take note: that disaster preparedness items (like water filters & purifiers) have waiting lists from the manufacturers is a bad sign! But don’t panic — just Get Prepared! If you would like to be more prepared for unforeseen circumstances you may contact the V.P. of Survive USA by phone or email Tom Norvold, VP & General Manager for your needs! 870-297-3222 & [email protected].

The writing is on the wall and I wouldn’t be surprised to see gas shortages, food shortages and civil unrest in Americas future. Not to mention the tornados, flooding, earth quakes and tsunami that are taking place around the world, if for no other reason than natural disasters, people should have some basic preparedness items on hand. Don’t believe you need to worry about that kind of stuff? That’s just for kooks and radicals? Well in fact here’s a clip from a recent article I just read, followed by the link to the whole article, and I quote. “Something unfolded here in Pittsburgh over the weekend I don’t recall seeing since the great oil embargo of 1973. For me, it started simply enough. I turned off the road into a gas station to fill up… only to find they were out of gas. So were the next two stations I drove by. Finally managed to locate some gas… but the problem in this area will remain for at least a week. I started looking around and found one other place in the country having the same problem – Oklahoma City.” Gas is in short supply. Click here to continue reading…

On Dream Act: Rubio Out of Step with Florida Hispanics

On Dream Act: Rubio Out of Step with Florida Hispanics (Before It's News) Only a week after Florida Hispanics rose-up to defeat an Arizona-like immigration bill in the Florida legislature, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has decided to cast aside the large Florida Hispanic community in favor of the national GOP anti-immigrant platform. Rubio told Telemundo that he would vote against the DREAM Act, which has been introduced on a bi-partisan basis in Congress, notably championed by Florida’s own Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). According to Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America’s Voice, “Marco Rubio has a chance to be a genuine bridge between the anti-immigrant image of the GOP and Latino voters in Florida, and across the nation. Sadly, Marco has bucked his own Florida colleagues and the entire state by opting out of supporting the DREAM Act – one of the most common sense pieces of legislation that would benefit tens of thousands of Florida youth yearning to fight for their country and get an education. Marco Rubio is now a bridge to nowhere.” In his 2010 election, Rubio won 62% of the Latino vote – with 78% Cuban Latinos and only 40% non-Cuban Latino vote – yet Rubio’s opponents failed to make his anti-immigration stance a liability despite the staunchly pro-immigrant stance of Florida Hispanic voters. Now, especially after a recent contentious state legislative battle over anti-immigrant legislation that rallied the Hispanic community against the bill, Rubio is not likely to get a similar pass if he balks at such a sensible piece of legislation as the DREAM Act. In the lame duck session last year, before Rubio was in Congress, the Senate fell five votes short of passing the DREAM Act. With 88% of Latino voters thinking it is important for Congress to pass DREAM, it will be hard for Rubio to keep his strong favorability ratings while voting against opportunities for young people. The DREAM Act has received bipartisan support in the past, enjoys the support of approximately 70 percent of voters overall, and has been championed by religious, business, education and civil rights leaders, as well as military leaders and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, all of whom recognize the benefits of talented young people who want to serve their communities and their country.

Pakistan: US Has Overstayed Welcome

Pakistan: US Has Overstayed Welcome (Before It's News) Amidst drone attacks & bombings, Pakistan threatens to strand US forces in Afghanistan Tony Cartalucci, Contributing Writer Activist Post Bangkok, Thailand May 14, 2011 – After – After a double bombing in Pakistan’s north that resulted in over 80 deaths , the Western media was quick to report an unverified phone-call made from an “undisclosed location” to Reuters and AFP claiming the Taliban was responsible. Reuters stated, “Now Pakistani rulers, President Zardari and the army will be our first targets. America will be our second target,” Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or Taliban Movement of Pakistan, told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location.” AFP reported similarly, “This was the first revenge for Osama’s martyrdom. Wait for bigger attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan,” spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location.” Both Reuters and AFP never bother explaining who Ehsanullah Ehsan is or verifying their source. Far be it from the corporate-owned media to actually “inform” its audience. The Mystery Bombing Ehsanullah Ehsan, the man who supposedly claimed responsibility for the bombings, had been a former Taliban official and had long since left the organization to pursue more constructive efforts for his country’s future. Wikipedia noted this, but was changed overnight, claiming Ehsanullah was now a Taliban spokesman and could potentially take a more “active leadership role.” This all based entirely on a BBC article citing the Reuters “phone-call.” Wikipedia before May 13, 2011: [1] Originally, he was the chairman of the Taliban’s Central Bank. Later, Ehsan was the Taliban’s Administrator of Captured Provinces.[2] Mullah Ehsanullah Ehsan is a former member of the Taliban leadership.Originally, he was the chairman of the Taliban’s Central Bank. Later, Ehsan was the Taliban’s Administrator of Captured Provinces. Shortly after the Taliban took over major Afghan institutions in December 1996, Ehsan, acting as chair of the Central Bank, declared most Afghani notes in circulation to be worthless and cancelled the contract with the Russian firm that had been printing the currency. Ehsan accused the firm of sending new shipments of Afghani notes to ousted president Burhanuddin Rabbani in northern Takhar province Ehsanullah’s name appears in the transcripts of several Guantanamo detainees.” …. Wikipedia after May 13, 2011: [1] and former member of the [2] Originally, he was the chairman of the Taliban’s Central Bank. Later, Ehsan was the Taliban’s Administrator of Captured Provinces.[3] “Mullah Ehsanullah Ehsan is a current Taliban spokesmanand former member of the Taliban leadership.Originally, he was the chairman of the Taliban’s Central Bank. Later, Ehsan was the Taliban’s Administrator of Captured Provinces. With the recent death of Osama Bin Laden , Ehsanullah Ehasan may once again take a more active leadership role in the Taliban Shortly after the Taliban took over major Afghan institutions in December 1996, Ehsan, acting as chair of the Central Bank, declared most Afghani notes in circulation to be worthless and cancelled the contract with the Russian firm that had been printing the currency. Ehsan accused the firm of sending new shipments of Afghani notes to ousted president Burhanuddin Rabbani in northern Takhar province Ehsanullah’s name appears in the transcripts of several Guantanamo detainees.” …. Besides another tremendous torpedo to Wikipedia’s credibility, the poorly cited entry still doesn’t tell us who Ehsanullah is and where he came from. The only other “Ehsanullah” that can be found online is an Ehsanullah Ehsan who has spent his years after the fall of the Taliban in 2001 building schools and teaching. In a 2009 St. Peterburg Times article titled, “Taliban Gaining Unexpected Grounds in Afghanistan,” Ehsan is described as a “a government official in the Taliban Ministry of Foreign Affairs” who works tirelessly to bring communities together, bridge differences, and solve problems through carefully weighed, culturally sensitive pragmatism. The Toronto Star features an April 2011 piece written by an “Ehsanullah Ehsan” titled, “I can tell you that we are bleeding in our hearts,” in which the school teacher/principal laments that violence and hatred on both sides threaten to undo the work he and his people have done over the years to move his nation forward. Perhaps Ehsanullah Ehsan is a common name. Perhaps all three are different men. Perhaps Reuters and AFP received a phone call from a nearby CIA station using an outdated Taliban Rolodex. When the media continuously and profoundly fails its duty to investigate, verify, and inform us, we are left to speculate, doubt, and ultimately question the legitimacy of such agencies. Land Destroyer for its part, is currently investigating this matter further. We are not alone in our doubt. The Boston Globe reported, “Senior police officials said yesterday that a suicide attack that killed 82 cadets from a government paramilitary force was probably retaliation for an army offensive in Pakistan’s tribal areas and not for the death of Osama bin Laden, as the Pakistani Taliban claimed.” Considering that Osama bin Laden, by all accounts has been dead for years, this latest shoddy reporting by Reuters and AFP is most likely a vain attempt to reinforce an already unraveled, unsold lie. It should be noted that similar unverified claims of responsibility by the “Taliban” have been made via phone calls from “undisclosed locations” including a shooting in New York that claimed 19 lives. Perhaps even more dubious were claims made on an “Islamist website” stating that the “Taliban” was behind the Times Square NYC terror scare. The London Telegraph even conceded in their report that, “it was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the claim.” It would later turn out that the patsy involved was inspired by none other than Anwar al-Awlaki, the US born and educated Pentagon dinner guest/Al Qaeda mastermind, who was allegedly in contact with him before the attempted bombing. Growing Tensions Reaching a Crescendo In the wake of this most recent deadly bombing in Charsadda, Pakistan, continued US drone attacks, and the continuing fallout of the US raid into Pakistani territory, relations between Washington and Islamabad have become increasingly strained. Pakistan’s parliament, as of May 14, 2011 has threatened to cut off US access to transit facilities used to ferry troops, supplies, and equipment into Afghanistan if drone attacks weren’t immediately halted. The cut-off of supplies into Afghanistan via Pakistan would leave US troops operating in the region in a semi-Stalingrad style encirclement. Anticipating this very move, globalist co-conspirator Zalmay Khalilzad of the National Endowment for Democracy, and corporate CEO-lined Center for Strategic and International Studies, stated earlier this week that, “the United States should reduce its dependence on supply lines running through Pakistan to Afghanistan. We should expand alternative supply routes through Azerbaijan and other countries in Central Asia.” This of course was in the event that Pakistan did not cooperate fully in the face of America’s new-found political capital it presumes to have gained from the staged “Bin Laden” raid. It seems at this point, Pakistan is not cooperating and has very little reason to do otherwise. Throughout Khalizad’s article featured in the New York Times titled, “Demanding Answers from Pakistan,” he depends entirely on the fantastical pretense that Pakistan was knowingly harboring “Osama bin Laden” within Abbottabad. Upon this false pretense, Kahlizad, the former US Ambassador to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the UN under the Bush administration, states that, “with American influence now at its peak and our troops still at full strength in Afghanistan, we have the leverage to force Pakistan to reconsider.” With this leverage Khalizad expects Pakistan to comply fully with all US demands and failing to do so will open the door to “a longer-term agreement with Afghanistan to maintain a small, enduring military presence that would give us [the US] the capability to conduct counterterrorism operations and respond to possibilities like Pakistani nuclear weapons falling into the hands of extremists.” Dr. Webster Tarpley has been accurately analyzing US foreign policy for years. He is one of the few geopolitical analysts to decipher and report the US attempt to Balkanize Pakistan as a means to maintain regional and global military & economic hegemony. See more at Tarpley.net …. Of course, Khalizad’s veiled threat is referring to fellow globalist Frederick Kagan’s destabilization and “nuke-napping” plan already being set into motion. With the Baluchi insurgency being systematically cultivated by the US in Pakistan’s southwest region, and the Pashtuns being agitated by continued Predator drone attacks in the northwest, Pakistan is faced with the choice to either cut off the US now while it still can, or actively participate in the further destabilization of its own country by aiding and abetting Washington in their imperialist designs. This destabilization is specifically designed to implement the Balkanization of Pakistan and the ruination of Iranian, Pakistani, Indian, and Chinese interests throughout the region. If Kagan’s plans were put into effect, it would also give the US a permanent military footing in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Conclusion What must be realized by all involved, from Pakistan’s neighbors to the Baluchis and Pashtuns within Pakistan, is that any alliance with America is an alliance sure to be betrayed, sure to lead to a divided and weakened Pakistan that will be exploited in full by the global corporate-financier elite engineering American foreign policy. Consider those joining men like Khalizad on the CSIS and NED boards are Carlyle Group members, defense contractors including Raytheon and Boeing, banking interests represented by Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Morgan Stanley, and big oil interests represented by Hess, Exxon, and Chevron. These are the same megalomaniacal, warmongering, parasites that have bankrupted the West, morally, culturally, financially, economically, and industrially. They have every intention to duplicate their “success” throughout Asia if given the proper environment of apathy, ignorance, and complicity within which to flourish. Nations like India must realize that while their grievances with Pakistan may seem important, the US is not helping India out of a sense of charitable solidarity, but as a means to use Indian troops and resources against Pakistan, possibly even against China, thus miring all three nations in unending conflict and effectively hobbling their collective development. At the end of the day, there is no seat at the table for Chinese, Pakistani or Indian elite. They will be divided, discarded, and domineered just as soon as their usefulness reaches an end. As plans to divide and dominate Pakistan become public knowledge, and with plans to do likewise in Iran, China, and throughout the Middle East already matters of fact, India must reevaluate its relationship with Pakistan, as Pakistan must do so with India, understanding that their rivalry serves as the perfect “strategy of tension” from which the forces of globalization will conquer both nations. Tony Cartalucci’s articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report. Read more at Activist Post Source:

Insanity Rampant in the District of Criminals: now they want to tax us per mile

Insanity Rampant in the District of Criminals: now they want to tax us per mile (Before It's News) Marti Oakley, Contributing Writer Activist Post While the regular folks in the US labor under a failing economy, massive job losses, and uncontrolled illegal immigration, it seems those fine jackasses in the District of Criminals never run out of ideas on how to make life more miserable for those of us not considered “worthy”. Food prices have risen almost 90% in the last year; 60% of that rise occurring immediately after the passage of the fake food safety bill which was actually a forced export bill with 80% of our agricultural production now pushed into the global market for commodity speculation and pricing. Home foreclosures are still at historic highs. Of course the jackasses would never think of clamping down on corrupt mortgage lenders and seizing their ill-gotten gains or putting any one of them in jail for their corruption. That would be just too much to ask. As gas prices at the pump continue to rise without explanation it appears that the Jackass in Chief has decided it might be a good idea to attach surveillance equipment to each and every vehicle in the US and to tax us per mile that we drive. This traveling surveillance tax would be applied every time you bought a gallon of gas. I have some questions: 1. How much is this surveillance equipment going to cost per unit? 2. Who is going to pay the unit and for having it installed? 3. What if it fails? 4. What other information are they going to gather? 5. What if I don’t want my car gps’d? 6. Whom has the government already contracted with to produce these invasions of privacy? (and you know they have!) (For questions 1 & 2, the answers are…you and me!) From the article at CNSNEWS: “What I see this administration doing is this — thinking outside the box on how we fund our infrastructure inAmerica,” he said. Strange . . . what I see is this administration trying to find some other way of raising revenue without letting the Bush tax cuts expire on the wealthy. Or, maybe a way to avoid cutting those $$38 billion in subsidies to oil cartels. As an aside here: I want to know why inflated taxation is not considered a penalty when applied to the middle and working classes, but is a penalty if applied equally and fairly to the wealthy? Someone? Anyone? Furthermore, so much of our infrastructure is for sale or has been sold to foreign governments, corporations and investors while at the same time what has remained owned has been allowed to deteriorate. So where was all the money in the Transportation Department going? Apparently, considering the crumbling condition of our highways, roads and bridges, it wasn’t going there. “It did work to build the interstate system and it was very effective, there’s no question about that. But the big question now is, We’re into the 21st century and how are we going to take care of our infrastructure needs … with a highway trust fund that had to be plused up by $$8 billion by Congress last year?” Hey! Mr LaHood! If you cut those tax breaks and subsidies to the oil cartels, you would have an additional $$30 billion after you deducted the $$8 billion you’re crying about, to take care of our infrastructure needs. $$30 billion would go a long way in job creation by putting people to work rebuilding and repairing our infrastructure, rather than putting $$38 billion in the pockets of cartels who are investing everywhere but here and who are simultaneously showing historically high profits. And one more thing Mr. LaHood….we don’t need no stinkin’ Public Private Partnerships (PPP’s) to do anything. What you are actually talking about here is the divvying up of our infrastructure assets and handing them over to those same foreign governments and corporations and calling it a “business model” (Agenda 21). The government funds these arrangements for the most part, the investor does some funding, and the whole mess is sold off in the end to people we never even knew were there. Through government collusion with a foreign, or even domestic, interest we lose what we bought and paid for. And on this Agenda 21 thing: With TSA now interferring with our legal right to travel freely, unaccosted by criminals, thugs, and other government employees, this per mile tax is the next step in the UN Agenda 21 Sequestered Populations plan. Many people will be forced into highly populated sequestered areas as a result of the additional costs and the refusal to comply with surveillance. What is at work here is the sytematic creation of plans meant to make it so difficult, so invasive for you to travel…you won’t! You’ll stay right in your little center like you are supposed to. It doesn’t surprise me that when we are facing disastrous economic and financial difficulties as a nation, a plan surfaces which will eventually be foisted on the states, funded in part by the federal government in order for it to be enforceable in the states (this according to the “Unfunded Mandates Act”) that will come down hardest on those who can least afford it. But this is not really about a new tax is it? Nor is it really about our infrastructure, is it? This is really about tracking and surveillance of the population. This is as close to REAL ID as they can get right now. We are drowning in debt as The District of Criminals squanders the nation’s wealth and the best idea they come up with is a plan to put surveillance on our vehicles? At what cost? Who are they going to borrow THAT money from? Even if this plan was only to raise revenue, it would take years for it to be effective. But that isn’t what this is about. It is about surveillance of the US population. It is about limiting your right to travel freely. And, it is ultimately about the wholesale sell-off of our infrastructure. Part of this plan also includes converting many roads and bridges to toll roads all across the country. That ought to slow up your travel plans. And why should we have to pay a toll on a road or bridge that we helped finance through the implementation of a “per mile” tax and years of gasoline taxes? It appears a new propaganda office has been established to sell the public on the idea of paying this new tax. The new “Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives” was set up to study the modalities of transportation and to decide how best to convince us that this was a great idea; Propaganda that we will be forced to finance. I can’t help but wonder what the cost of this new office position and all the bloated staffing that will accompany it will cost us in addition to what the cost to us will be at the pump. And heaven knows those “studies” will end up costing us kazillions for some bureaucrat to fabricate the “evidence” that will be needed to force this intrusion on our rights, our privacy and our right to travel freely. And those minor jackasses in the House and Senate will do all they can to shove another piece of the police state down our throats.

2015 Chrysler 200

(Before It's News) Automobiles, Motorcycles and Libertarian Politics The American family car came this close to extinction. People never stopped buying family cars, of course. They just bought fewer American-brand family cars. Half a million Toyota Camrys find homes in American garages every year. Almost as many Honda Accords. And of course, the Koreans have been making inroads, too. But now – as the commercials for the car snarkily style it – there’s a new “import” on the block. From Detroit (via Italy). The 2015 Chrysler 200. For the first time in a really long time, the Camry, et al, have serious hometown competition. WHAT IT IS The 200 is Chrysler’s mid-sized entrant in the family sedan cage fight. It goes up against perennial Japanese brand favorites like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as house brands such as the Ford Fusion and Chevy Malibu. Prices begin at $$21,700 for a base trim/front-wheel-drive/four-cylinder-powered LX and run to $$30,425 for a luxury-trimmed C equipped with all-wheel-drive and a powerful V-6. WHAT’S NEW Everything. Among the highlights – a graceful new body, swank new interior and nine-speed transmission (three-upping most of its competitors, which typically come with six-speed transmissions). WHAT’S GOOD Available with all-wheel-drive, fairly rare in this class. Available V-6, becoming rare in this class. Responsive, fuel-sippy – and standard equipment – nine speed automatic. Sticker price is lower than competitors and – probably – you’ll be able to negotiate a better deal because Chrysler is hungrier for customers than Toyota, Honda, et al. It’s a really nice car. WHAT’S NOT SO GOOD A bit less room inside than competitors like Camry and Fusion – especially in the back seat. Legroom is ok, but headroom and shoulder room’s a little tight if you’re a taller person. Forward Collision Warning system (optional, thankfully) sometimes senses “collisions” that aren’t imminent – such as when you’re pulling up behind another car at a red light. It gets mad if you don’t leave half a car length of space between your car and the car ahead, which is annoying and unnecessary. Chrysler – the brand – still has some rebuilding to do. Resale/depreciation rates may not be as favorable as the “blue chip” brands, especially Toyota and Honda. UNDER THE HOOD Like most of the cars in this class, the 200 is available with either of two engines. However, unlike a growing number of cars in this class (including the Ford Fusion and Chevy Malibu), the 200 offers both a four and a six – not just fours. And neither of them is turbocharged. The optional V-6 makes its horsepower the old-fashioned way – with more cylinders and more displacement. This is arguably a plus, especially down-the-road repair and maintenance-wise. The increasingly trendy turbo fours one finds in an ever-increasing roster of cars in all classes have a number of advantages (including “on-demand” power and generally very good fuel economy when power is not demanded) but they’re higher stressed (being pressurized), more complex and the long-haul durability of the turbos and related parts is by no means a trivial concern given the potential cost of repairs. Anyhow, the 200’s optional 3.6 liter V-6 makes tremendous power – 295 hp, substantially more power than the just-updated (2015) Toyota Camry’s optionally available (and carryover) 3.5 liter V-6 (268 hp) and the Chevy Malibu’s and Ford Fusion’s optional turbo fours (259 and 240 hp, respectively). The next closet thing – power-wise – is the Honda Accord V-6 equipped with its optional 3.5 liter, 278 hp V-6. And the V-6 Nissan Altima (270 hp). Both these cars are sportier in terms of steering response and handling (more on that below) but in a straight line, the 3.6 liter equipped 200 gives up nothing to those sport sedans. The 200’s base 2.4 liter four, meanwhile, makes a credible (class-competitive) 184 hp. More than the base-engined Ford Fusion (2.5 liters, 175 hp), Toyota Camry (2.5 liters, 178 hp) and Nissan Altima (2.5 liters, 182 hp); dead heat with the base-engined Accord (2.4 liters, 184 hp). Another rival, the Mazda6, offers just one engine – a 2.5 liter, 184 hp four. There is no optional upgrade The Chevy Malibu is the only car in this segment that comes standard with a stronger engine (2.5 liters, 196 hp). But it’s optional engine – the turbo four described earlier – is a middleweight compared with the heavyweight 3.6 liter V-6 you can order in the 200. Both 200 engines are paired with nine-speed automatics – a feature no competitor yet offers. Six-speed transmissions are the rule rather than the exception in this class. What’s the advantage? The nine-speed reduces peak engine RPM in each gear during normal acceleration by allowing earlier upshifts to the next forward gear. This is a big fuel efficiency advantage, helping the base 200’s base four earn an EPA rating of 23 city, 36 highway – a notch better than the new Camry manages with its larger (2.5 liter) four: 25 city, 35 highway and significantly bettered only by the Ford Fusion when equipped with its optional hybrid powertrain (44 city, 41 highway). The tighter gear spacing of the nine-speed automatic is also a performance advantage. With the V-6, a 200 can hustle to 60 in the high eights - quicker than the V-6 Accord and Camry. With the four, 0-60 takes about 8.4 seconds… with front-wheel-drive. Which brings up the matter of all-wheel-drive. The 200 offers it. The Camry, Accord, Mazda6 and Malibu do not. The Ford Fusion is one of the few cars other than the 200 that does. And you can’t get a V-6 in the Fusion anymore. Perk: Neither the 200’s base four nor its optional V-6 need premium fuel. While most of the competition’s standard engines are economy-minded and set up for regular, their peppier (and typically turbo’d) optional engines often require premium to deliver the best performance and economy. ON THE ROAD One of the attributes that made Toyota’s Camry the go-to car in this segment for so many years was its gentle nature. It may have been as exciting as a pair of granny panties, but Toyota got away with that for decades because the competition (especially the American competition) simply wasn’t up to snuff in other departments. Honda’s Accord, meanwhile, picked up the would-be Camry buyers who wanted a car with more personality – but which also had the blue chip rep. Together, they pretty much owned the segment. But that’s changing perceptibly as people become aware of excellent domestic-badged alternatives such as the Ford Fusion and Malibu. And now, the 200. Drive one and you’ll see. It’s got a top-drawer drivetrain. A cushy (but not mushy) ride. It’s really quiet – the fruit of triple seals and acoustically laminated glass. The nine-speed automatic helps, too. Like a high-speed skyscraper elevator, it gets you to your “floor” with minimal drama. The last 2-3 gear changes from six to ninth don’t even seem to happen. You’re just there. Like all modern cars, the 200 has extremely favorable overdrive gearing to maximize fuel economy during steady-state cruising. But unlike all its competitors, the 200’s intermediate gearing is much more tightly grouped. You might think it’d feel (and sound) more busy, due to the increased number of shifts that occur. But in fact, the opposite is true. The car seems to glide forward, almost like an electric car. But unlike most electric cars, the 200’s also got a pair. Six, actually. My test car was a 200 C – with the 295 hp V-6. One day, I rolled up behind a not-very-old Mustang (circa mid-2000s) whose driver was a dawdler. Until I attempted to pass her. Then, she floored it – using every hp under the Mustang’s hood to keep the 200 from edging past. She seemed rather surprised when the 200 not only kept up but pulled ahead- eventually putting enough distance between me and her that I was able to sidle back over into the right lane… ahead of her now. There is much to be said for a “family car” with muscle car punch. And the nine-speed automatic is simply superb on this score, too – rabbit punching each shift so rapidly it’s hard to count each one. That’s wide-open throttle. Back off the throttle and the deep gearing on top immediately curbs the revs and 80 feels like 45. Cars like this are way too good for American roads, with their dumbed-down traffic laws mired in the reality of 1975 instead of 2015. I’m not a huge fan of the rotary gear selector mounted on the attractively angled center stack – but only because I’m suspicious of drive-by-wire controls. There’s no cable connecting your hand to the transmission; your inputs are transmitted electronically) and miss the tactile mechanical feel of pulling the shifter from Park to Drive and the associated physical engagement/disengagement). Sight lines are good, but the optional Advanced Brake Assist is too peremptory. A somewhat alarming alarm (beeps accompanied by the in gauge cluster) erupts if you don’t drive as though you’re a member of the granny panty set. That is, long before it’s necessary or even warranted. Examples: It went off on several occasions when I was pulling up behind another car stopped at a red light – because I didn’t leave what consider to be absurd air space between myself and the bumper of the car ahead. As in a half car length’s worth. The system also came on several times when it detected a car up ahead slowing to make a left turn. It (the system) has no way of knowing that the turning car will be long gone by the time I get there – hence no need to brake. But I do know – because I’ve got a biological processor (my brain) that works with my eyes to interpret data in ways mere machines can’t. Yet, anyhow. Now, I want to be clear that I am not picking on Chrysler – because all these systems (in numerous other-brand cars I have tested) are similarly peremptory and – frankly – dumb to some extent at least (see above). Granted, they may save an inattentive driver from wrecking. But I’d prefer that drivers were attentive instead. The good news is the system is optional in the 200, part of the $$1,295 SafetyTec package, which also includes Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Automatic High Beam Control, Adaptive Cruise Control with “stop and go” (this is neat, the car can stop itself, then resume your preset speed) and rain-sensing wipers. I’d prefer some of these features were available individually – in particular the rains sensing wipers and adaptive cruise. But Chrysler – like pretty much every other car company – likes to package options, because it’s easier (and more profitable) for them to build (and sell) cars this way. That said, the 200 is an extremely pleasant car to drive. It’s powerful – and comfortable. Sporty-feeling enough to be fun, but also a four-wheeled sanctum; a place of refuge as you make your way from A to B. AT THE CURB This is a tasteful, gracefully proportioned car that could easily pass for “entry luxury” – in the argot of the automotive biz. Park one next to, say, a Lexus ES350 (a Camry in dinner clothes, for those not in the know) and see what I mean. Some of the styling cues may not be hugely original (Audi-esque LED underbrows; Lexus-like trapezoidal exhaust tips blended into a rear air defuser) but good looks look good, no matter where they came from. To my eye, the 200 looks secure in its skin. Calm. In contrast, the new Camry has been festooned with a huge, seemingly Cylon Centurion-inspired grille that maybe was meant to impart scrappiness but (to me) just comes off as a bit over-the-top for a family sedan. Which reminds me. There’s a quip a like: Good taste is that which is appropriate. The 200’s designers nailed it. Now, for the debatable stuff: The 200’s less space efficient car than several of its rivals, including the Camry and Fusion. Though it’s several inches longer end to end than the Camry (192.3 inches vs. 190.9 for the Toyota) it’s got less interior space, especially in the back seat. Legroom is actually very decent, though less than in rivals. A six-foot-three man (me) will not find his knees rubbing up against the back of the front seat. The 200’s 37.6 inches of legroom is very sufficient, even if slightly less luxurious than in rivals such as the Camry (38.9 inches) and Fusion (38.3 inches). The real problem for the taller set – and this goes for the 200’s rivals, too – is borderline insufficient head clearance. The slope of the roofline (and inward curvature of the roofline) are the culprits. And although the 200 hasn’t got that much less headroom than its rivals – 37.4 inches vs. 37.8 for the Fusion and 38.1 for the Camry – half an inch or so really matters when you’re tall and clearance is already on the tight side. The 200 also has a bit less front seat legroom than rivals – 42.2 inches vs. 44.3 for the Fusion and 41.6 for the Camry – but (trust me, tall guy telling you this) anything more than 40 inches is just theoretical space you’ll only use if you decide to pull over to sleep and decide the push the driver’s seat as far back as it goes. Trunk space-wise, the 200’s a winner: With 16 cubic feet of capacity – large for the segment – it beats the Camry (15.4 cubic feet) and exactly matches the Fusion (also 16 cubic feet). To get more trunk, you’ll need to buy more car. THE REST The 200’s dashboard is warmly blue-aura backlit, with art deco touches such as “speedometer” and “tachometer” actually spelled out on the brushed nickel trim ring each gauge. There’s a large and partially hidden cubby under the center stack and the cupholders (located behind the rotary knob gear selector) slide aft and out of the way, revealing another large storage cubby. Other comment-worthy attention-to-detail design touches include the front seat passenger’s very own power point, located on his side of the center console – and the you-can-actually-see-it (and positioned so you can reach it) iPod/USB port. In several cars I’ve driven recently the USB port is tunneled so deep or set so far back that you literally cannot plug in without stopping the car to ferret around back there. THE BOTTOM LINE The 200 definitely has the goods to attract buyers. If (time will tell) it proves to be as durable and reliable as the blue chips, it’ll keep them, too.

Straddling Earnings Season – Know Your Options

Straddling Earnings Season – Know Your Options (Before It's News) With earnings underway, here’s an options strategy that’s perfect for a company about to report. A straddle involves buying both a call and a put at the same strike price (at-the-money) at the same time. With options, you buy a call if you expect the market to go up. And you buy a put if you expect the market to go down. A straddle, however, is a strategy to use when you’re not sure which way the market will go, but you believe something big will happen in either direction. For example, let’s say you expect a big move to occur, either up or down, based on whether the company reports a positive surprise or a negative surprise. With these strategies, you can make money in either direction without having to worry about whether you guessed correctly or not. For example: let’s say a stock was trading at $$100 a few days before their earnings announcement. So you decide to put on a straddle by buying: the $$100 strike call and the $$100 strike put Because you only plan on being in the trade for a few days (to maybe a few weeks), you decide to get into the soon-to-expire options. Note: usually, I’ll advocate buying more time and getting in-the-money options. And I still do — when playing one side of the market. But when playing both sides of the market simultaneously for an event you expect to take place in the near immediacy, the opposite is best. Why? Because at expiration your profit is the difference between how much your options are in-the-money minus what you paid for them. So if you don’t need a lot of time, this keeps the cost down and your profit potential up. If you paid $$150 for an at-the-money call option that will expire shortly and another $$150 for an at-the-money put option that will expire shortly, your cost to put on the trade was $$300 (not including transactions costs). If that stock shot up $$10 as a result of a positive earnings surprise, that call option that you paid $$150 for would now be worth $$1,000. And that put option would be worth zero ($$0). So let’s do the math: if the call, which is now $$10 in-the-money, is worth $$1,000; then subtract the $$150 you paid, and that gives you an $$850 profit on the call. The put, on the other hand, is out-of-the-money, and is worth nothing, which means you lost $$150 on the put. Add it all together, and on a $$300 investment, you just made a profit of $$700. Pretty good—especially for not even knowing which way the stock would even go. However, if you paid more for each side of the trade, those would be extra costs to overcome. But by keeping each side’s cost as small as reasonably possible, that leaves more profit potential on the winning side and a smaller loss on the losing side. Moreover, if the stock stays flat (in other words, the big move you expect doesn’t materialize, thus resulting in both sides of the trade expiring worthless), your cost of the trade was kept to a minimum. So buying a straddle by its very nature should be looked at as a short-term trade. If the outcome of the event that prompted you to get into the straddle in the first place now has you strongly believing that a continuation of the upmove or downmove is in order, you could then exit the straddle and move into the one-sided call or put and apply the in-the-money and more-time rules for those.

Earnings Seasons and Volatility Skews – Option Ideas

Earnings Seasons and Volatility Skews – Option Ideas % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) With earnings season in full swing, you may find it particularly useful to trade volatility skews. If you have never heard of a volatility skew, don’t panic. It is a simple strategy that professional option traders use successfully. At certain times, like a pending earnings announcement, an option can become more expensive relative to other options in the same underlying asset, e.g., the implied volatility of the July calls is higher than the October calls. This phenomenon is referred to as volatility skewing and it presents an opportunity to gain an edge. How? By buying the more fairly priced option and selling the more expensive option. It should be noted that the calls and puts at the same strike price must trade for the same implied volatility; otherwise, reverse arbitrage would eliminate the difference. There is no true arbitrage, however, between different strike prices, so arbitrage cannot eliminate volatility skewing. How can you determine if an option is overpriced or underpriced? The answer is implied volatility. High implied volatility translates to higher option prices. If one option has a significantly higher implied volatility than another, it means it is relatively more expensive than the other option. If there is a significant difference between the implied volatility of two similar options, then sell the overpriced option and buy the more fairly priced option. This helps to tilt the odds more in your favor, giving you a trading edge. Example of Bank of America (BAC) Volatility levels can vary between different option exercise prices. Take the following example: stock price is $$15.65 A July BAC call option, with an exercise price of $$16, has a volatility level of 60% An August BAC call option, with an exercise price of $$16, has a volatility level of 37% The $$16 Calls for July are trading at a 62% higher volatility level than the August calls, 60% vs. 37%, making them relatively more expensive than the closer-to-the-money calls. This is a textbook example of volatility skew – implied volatility is skewed toward the short term call option. What Causes this Volatility Skew? One reason is outside activities, e.g., earnings announcements, lawsuits, labor strikes, FDA announcements on new drug research, wars, political events, etc. If a market that has been asleep all of a sudden comes alive and starts making big moves, most likely you will see option volatility rise. However, it may not rise evenly over all the different exercise prices and maturities. This uneven or unequal change in implied volatility may provide an option trader with the chance to profit by buying cheap options and selling expensive options. Setting up the Trade Buy the more fairly priced option, at the same time sell the most overvalued option. This trade is often referred to as a calendar spread: Before: Buy the August $$16 calls for $$.60 Sell the July $$16 calls for $$.20 If you believe the pending earnings announcement on BAC will be mute and the stock’s price will remain relatively unchanged, then the implied volatility of the July call option should fall back to approximated 38% – a value closer to the August options.

Las Vegas Hero Shoots Man Three Times Over Unpaid HOV Ticket

LAS VEGAS, NV — An attorney who survived being shot in the back by police now faces up to 12 years in prison after a drawn out trial. The incident occurred when Raymond James “Jim” Duensing was pulled over by a motorcycle cop in a routine traffic stop near Cheyenne Avenue and Jones Boulevard. Allegedly Mr. Duensing had crossed an intersection using a lane designated for right-turns only at approximately 2:30 p.m. on October 29, 2009. After running the driver’s license, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Officer David Gilbert determined that there was an existing misdemeanor arrest warrant for Mr. Duensing because of outstanding traffic ticket(s). Duensing, 33 years old at the time and practicing law in Pahrump, was asked to exit his vehicle and then told he was under arrest. The attorney requested to know why he was being arrested. With his hands above his head, Mr. Duensing tried to use reason with the officer. “I was calmly speaking to the cop, attempting to talk my way out of being taken to jail over an unpaid High-Occupancy Vehicle ticket.” “I was calmly speaking to the cop, attempting to talk my way out of being taken to jail over an unpaid High-Occupancy Vehicle ticket,” Duensing later explained. What happened next remains in dispute. At some point, communication broke down and Officer Gilbert began tasing Mr. Duensing. Officer Gilbert testified that Duensing did not turn around on command and that he “took a fighting stance.” The officer claimed that he needed to shock Mr. Duensing to gain his compliance. Duensing says that the shock came unexpectedly, and when he felt the electricity run through him, he feared for his life because he has a heart condition. “As I have had heart problems since my premature birth, I believe a Taser to be a lethal weapon. Several people without heart conditions have been killed by this weapon,” he wrote. Duensing said that his instincts took over and he removed the Taser’s prongs from his chest, and began running. He wrote from his hospital bed, “I firmly believe this instinct saved my life.” Duensing later testified that running away “wasn’t really a conscious decision.” He added: “I was trying to process what was going on. I thought he had the wrong person.” As Duensing ran from the electric assault, he heard the Taser fire again, but didn’t feel another shock. Instead, he heard three gunshots and noticed that his left arm was dangling. He had been shot from behind with a .45 handgun. Mr. Duensing worked not only in practicing law but also as at a firearms instructor at a gun range. He was carrying a pistol and a pocketknife at the time he was shot. There is major disagreement between the parties about when the officer knew there was a gun in Duensing’s pocket. After being shot, Duensing wrote, “it was at this point that he found my licensed and registered pistol in my right cargo pants pocket and my Emerson folding knife in my right front pocket.” He added: “I NEVER pulled either of these items out of my pockets.” He insisted that his hands were empty as he ran, and afemale witness asserted the same thing. But Officer Gilbert claimed that Duensing tried to draw his gun while running, and shot Duensing in order to save lives. The Las Vegas Review Journal elaborated on the discrepancy of facts: Defense lawyer Tom Pitaro tried to show that Gilbert could not have seen Duensing’s gun because it was tucked in the buttoned-up cargo pocket. A knife in his right hip pocket was not found by police until after he was shot. Gilbert said he thought Duensing’s gun flew from his hands and into the air after he was shot. Officers at the scene later found the gun in the cargo pocket. “You’re relieved they found a gun after you shot someone,” Pitaro said. Gilbert responded: “I’m relieved that it was found so it wasn’t there for a little kid to pick it up.” Duensing suffered gunshot wounds to his chest, abdomen, and left arm. He survived the attack, but required multiple surgeries and never fully rehabilitated. CHARGES Having fallen victim to alleged police brutality, Jim Duensing wanted justice for what was done to him. However, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson made sure that didn’t happen. Duensing was charged with 3 felonies: resisting a police officer, carrying a concealed weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm. The bases for the charges were tenuous at best. Duensing possessed a valid Nevada Carrying Concealed Weapons (CCW) Permit, but the prosecution argued that his permit was invalidated because of the outstanding traffic warrant. Additionally, they claimed his pocketknife was to be considered a “dangerous or deadly weapon” under NRS 202.350.1.d.3, and therefore illegal to carry concealed. Ironically, openly carrying a firearm or a knife is legal in Nevada, meaning the arbitrary placement of one’s property literally differentiates a law-abiding citizen from a felon-to-be. The case against Duensing dragged on for over five years, and was characterized by a lack of transparency. As he explained in a statement in 2010: To protect “their” officers against the civil charges stemming from officer David M. Gilbert’s abuse of power and attempted homicide of Jim Duensing, the prosecutor denied Jim a public pre-trial hearing and instead has charged Jim with felony resisting arrest through a secret Grand Jury hearing he wasn’t even able to attend or learn the specific time of until it was completed. The Las Vegas “Use of Force Board” — comprised of 4 civilians and 3 LVMPD members — made aunanimous decision that Officer Gilbert was justified in shooting Duensing. The process was kept completely secretive and anonymous. The defense was not allowed to know what evidence was presented or how the conclusion was reached. Duensing and his attorney fought unsuccessfully to obtain potential video evidence from the taser as well as a police helicopter that was on the scene moments after the shooting. There were no cameras on the police motorcycle. In 2014, still awaiting trial, Duensing decided to run for the office of district attorney — against the incumbent who was seeking to imprison him. “There’s a lot of dissatisfaction with the way the office is being run,” specifically the handling of officer-involved shootings, Duensing told the Las Vegas Review Journal. “No matter what they (police) do on duty, they will be backed up by their department and the DA and that means there will be zero accountability.” FOLLOW-UP: Duensing’s D.A. race turned out to be unsuccessful, and on November 10th, 2014, he was convicted on all three felony counts. He now awaits sentencing in January 2015, which will consist of 1-12 years in prison. He may also lose his law license, and as a convicted felon will never be able to legally own a gun again. There will be a chance for an appeal, but that will require help from readers. Please find the information below for how to send Jim Duensing letters or financial help. * * * * * Recall that this whole ordeal arose over a so-called “High-Occupancy Vehicle” (HOV) ticket. A HOV ticket is issued, in certain states, when a car enters in a designated “carpool lane” while carrying too few passengers. It is truly among the most mundane of offenses, yet it led to a warrant and the confrontation that would change Jim Duensing’s life forever. Duensing’s situation exemplifies how every law has the potential to kill and destroy lives and families. Every offense, no matter how trivial, is ultimately backed by armed men who are willing to use violence. And when the number of offenses becomes innumerable, the police state can crush anyone, even a professional driving home from work on a Thursday afternoon.

NY Heroes Get Away With Murdering Eric Garner

(Before It's News) Automobiles, Motorcycles and Libertarian Politics The Grand Jury decision not to indict an NYPD officer for choking Eric Garner to death is a shocking travesty of justice, but why were police harassing Garner in the first place? The answer; He violated New York City’s ridiculous cigarette tax laws. Eric Garner was summarily executed for avoiding taxes. Garner was tackled by several cops and put in an illegal chokehold by Officer Daniel Pantaleo during an incident in Staten Island earlier this summer. Video footage clearly shows that Garner was not resisting arrest and was not acting aggressively towards the officers. The 43-year-old father of six begged for his life, telling officers he couldn’t breathe, before dying moments later in what the medical examiner’s office ruled a homicide caused by the chokehold. Garner was choked to death for the crime of selling untaxed cigarettes, so-called “loosies”. His fatal encounter with the NYPD would not even have occurred if not for New York’s punitively insane cigarette tax, which levies an additional state tax of $$4.35 per pack in addition to a further city tax of $$1.50 per pack, driving an underground economy which accounts for over half of all cigarettes consumed in New York State. Cigarette smuggling has increased 59 per cent since 2006 in response to a 190 percent hike in cigarette tax during that same period. “Garner chose to participate in the booming underground cigarette market as a smuggler. Since 2009, he had been arrested eight times for selling loosies, which are popular among people who can’t afford a full pack because of the excessive taxes,” writes Lawrence J. McQuillan, noting that NYPD chief Philip Banks issued an order to crack down on vendors of smuggled cigarettes just days before Garner died. In November 2013, Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a bill which increased “enforcement on vendors who attempt to evade taxes.” “These events confirm that police are ultimately the enforcers of the tax code, and every vote for higher taxes gives police increased authority to exert more force on citizens in more situations. Higher excise taxes inevitably lead to more violent clashes between police and smugglers,” concludes McQuillan. The responsibility for Garner’s death should not be shifted away from Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who clearly should have been put on trial for manslaughter, but the entire situation would not have arose in the first place if not for New York’s obsession with high taxes.

headlights… who needs them? Morgan says theirs (2012 -2013) don't comply with US regs, but they say: noncompliance of the subject vehicles is…

(Before It's News) V. Summary of Morgan’s Analyses: Morgan stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: In addition, Morgan knows of no reports of injuries or other safety issues in the US or the rest of the world caused by the subject noncompliance. Morgan believes that the described noncompliance of the subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that its petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted. In its petition, Morgan also requested that NHTSA amend the headlamp spacing requirements in FMVSS No. 108 during future rulemaking. This request cannot be considered as part of the instant petition as filed under 49 CFR part 556. However, Morgan may consider petitioning the Agency for rulemaking.The appropriate type of petition to request a change in a rule is one filed under 49 CFR Part 552 Petitions for Rulemaking, Defect, and Non-Compliance Orders. NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively, to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on this petition only applies to the vehicles that Morgan no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, a decision on this petition cannot relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant motor vehicles under their control after Morgan notified them that the subject noncompliance existed. AUTHORITY: Back to Top 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8. Issued on: December 2, 2013. Claude H. Harris, Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance. Morgan contends that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety on the basis that the lamps meet the substantive requirements of FMVSS No. 108, the technical requirements of FMVSS No. 108 and that the current horizontal spacing of 29 inches is in the best interests of road safety, Morgan owners almost exclusively go to Morgan dealers for replacement parts, and if the M3W were compliant with the existing motorcycle head lamp spacing requirement, other road users would not have an accurate indication of the width of an oncoming M3W.

Whiting Petroleum Sees 2012 Capital Budget of $$1,600M and Production Guidance of 28.0-29.5 MMBOE % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) As of December 31, 2011, Whiting Petroleum Corporation’s (NYSE: WLL) estimated proved reserves totaled 345.2 million barrels of oil equivalent, an increase of 13.2% over year-end 2010 proved reserves of 304.9 MMBOE. Approximately 86% of our 2011 year-end reserves were classified as oil/natural gas liquids and 69% were classified as proved developed. The 40.3 MMBOE increase in proved reserves replaced 164% of the Company’s 2011 production of 24.8 MMBOE. The Company’s estimated year-end 2011 proved reserves had a pre-tax PV10% value of $$7.4 billion, of which approximately 97% came from properties located in Whiting’s Rocky Mountain, Permian Basin and Mid-Continent core areas. The following table summarizes Whiting’s estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2011 by core area. Whiting forecasts a capital budget of $$1,600 million in 2012, which should approximate its 2012 estimated discretionary cash flow. Whiting expects to allocate $$1,236 million of the 2012 capital budget to exploration and development activity, $$136 million for land, and $$228 million for facilities. Based on this level of capital spending, we forecast production of 28.0 MMBOE – 29.5 MMBOE for 2012, an increase of 13% – 19% over our 2011 production of 24.8 MMBOE. (c) 2011 Benzinga.com.

Limited Choice Under Obamacare

Limited Choice Under Obamacare % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Obamacare is supposed to make health care and health insurance more affordable, give consumers more choices and provide free health care services. Apparently the politicians in DC believe the public is both ignorant and gullible. In truth, there are at least 10 ways in which Obamacare LIMITS consumer choice. “Free” preventive services are not really free. Everyone pays for these services in the form of HIGHER PREMIUMS. Care to guess who decides which preventive services are essential? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a committee of experts chosen by HHS (Health and Human Services). In other words, non-elected officials are deciding the level and type of care you need. We have discussed how the MLR (Medical Loss Ratio) is impacting health insurance by RAISING premiums and LIMITING choice. Seems it can also lead to the loss of HSA and HRA type plans. since HSAs often cover most or all of participants’ routine medical expenses, the claims that a high-deductible health plan experiences are larger and may fluctuate significantly from year to year. According to one study, “For high-deductible and HSA plans to be viable, both from a consumer and carrier perspective under [Obamacare], an adjustment to the MLR formula for the impact of HSAs may be necessary.”[5] Otherwise, HSA plans may disappear, robbing consumers of an attractive and popular option. We don’t have to remind you that HSA and HRA plans actually make premiums AFFORDABLE for thousands of people that would otherwise go without insurance. In addition to the IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board), a new government bureaucracy that decides what health services will be covered by insurance and which ones will not, a new CER (Comparative Effectiveness Research) entity will decide what type of care you can receive. The list of 10 limits under Obamacare is available for review at this link. Change you better believe in. Original content copyright © InsureBlog Source:

Ground Zero Media

Doc In The Box

Doc In The Box (Before It's News) DOC IN THE BOX When it comes to the medical business, we have indicated that most doctors are middlemen between the patient, big pharma, the DEA and the FDA. Many times we have reported that it appears there are changes being made in the medical field and large amounts of money have been exchanged between the pharmaceutical companies, the vaccine developers, and the current administration. In 2005, Obama had bought shares in Baxter International. Baxter International was the pharmaceutical company that created the H1N1 flu vaccine. Right after he bought the shares, Obama introduced the first comprehensive bill to address the threat of avian influenza pandemic. There’s already more than enough statistical evidence for American citizens to demand that scientists come clean with just how dangerous these flew outbreaks are. The encouragement to get a flu vaccine has become a zealous undertaking since 2005 and there are many Americans who question the safety of being over- inoculated. A series of government researchers, health experts and academics are urged to impose self-censorship, when they are pressed by the public to divulge why our country has started to over-medicate the citizenry and vaccinate people to prevent anything from shingles to the flu. We have been told not to question what medical science is doing to us or for us. We see in the media, semi-qualified medial grand-standers claiming special credibility, as self-appointed beacons of science on issues that are much, much larger than what their pay grade allows them to comment on. It used to be that the public was informed about who was making medical decisions for the country. The Surgeon General would make formal statements to the people to tell them about public health concerns. When there was an AIDs outbreak, it was Dr. C. Everett Koop’s report calling for some form of AIDS education in the early grades of elementary school, and gave full support for using condoms for disease prevention. In 1994, Dr. Joycelyn Elders was considered to be highly-controversial when she had spoken at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity. Elders had also spoken in favor of studying drug legalization. She also pushed her controversial views on abortion. Since the glory days of AIDS and the Surgeon Generals that were well known by the American people, we are now hard pressed to even identify the last two Surgeon Generals that served under Obama. I guess it wouldn’t help matters to identify them but in order to kill the suspense. Dr. Regina Benjamin resigned in 2013 and was replaced by Dr. Vivek Murthy in case you are wondering. I point this out only because in 2014, we all were acquainted with the deadly Ebola virus. Most of the spokespeople that were involved and took the spotlight were mostly CDC and World Health Organization spokespeople and of course, Thomas Frieden, whom many people criticized for appearing to be fumbling throughout the crisis. It is also interesting how all of our fears were and all of our hopes were predicated by a group of scientists who were officiating on World Health Organizations emergency panel that have links with big pharmaceutical firms like GlaxoSmithKline. We can obviously point out that companies like Monsanto, GlaxoSmithKline, Baxter, and others have their grip on our politicians and health policies. They also have the control on how the public views their product. Both Republican and Democratic leaders are whores for the big pharmaceutical companies. Many of them when making policies about health, hide their conflicts of interest from the public. For independent thinkers this is all academic, for those who do not know about the corruption in our health care, it is best that you ask questions and it is imperative that you do not always take the government on its word that what is offered as a cure, preventative or treatment is sound medicine. It is quite obvious that the fears of new and emerging diseases seem to be generating some underlying panic brought on by political and economic design. As religions argue over doomsday, government is also generating the same amount of fear and debate about all of these new plagues, pandemics and even the proposed mass inoculations are connected to money generating operations. To make matters worse, if the cures they are offering in the form of vaccines harm or kill you– the government has made it quite clear that no one can sue companies for adverse side effects from vaccinations. This has triggered a whole new interest in naturopathic medicine and what doctors who practice this form of health maintenance offer as safer, natural alternatives. It seems to have also triggered what some believe is a secret plot to discredit these successful doctors and also discourage the use of natural alternatives to drugs and vaccines. However, since June there has been new fuel to put on the fire of the so-called conspiracy against these naturopaths. On June 19, a fisherman found the body of Dr. James Bradstreet in a North Carolina river, with a gunshot wound through his chest. Bradstreet was a forceful proponent of the theory that vaccines are linked to autism. Just weeks before his death, Bradstreet’s office was raided by the FDA. Three days later, chiropractors Bruce Hedendal and Baron Holt were separately found dead, and eight days after that, Dr. Theresa Sievers was murdered in her home. A month later, it was reported that holistic doctors meeting at a conference in northern Germany were poisoned and taken to the hospital. It was said that 30 different doctors, aged 25 to 55 were poisoned with a psychoactive drug at the conference. During the conference, people began staggering and complaining of cramps, while others had more severe reactions and strong hallucinations. Fifteen ambulances, a helicopter and some 160 rescue personnel were called to the scene to rush the doctors to the hospital. It was later reported that renowned best-selling author and holistic cancer specialist Mitchell Gaynor, M.D., was found dead in the woods near his home. On July 21, 2015, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez another doctor who was considered by his detractors a fringe oncologist was also found dead. In the past six weeks the list of these dead or missing doctors has now risen to 14. No one knows what ties they all have or if every death is suspicious, but the whole list becomes a coincidental artifact as most of the doctors involved were working on natural cancer cures and others were trying to reverse the effects of autism, naturally. Of course, the natural doctors have been working on ways to have the immune system play a critical role in helping the body resist and fight diseases like cancer. Yet, that simple fact has become the link in a growing controversy that includes everything from accusations of quackery to conspiracy to commit murder. What also adds to controversy is the mainstream media blackout on this story, which is now lending itself to being another exploited story for conspiracy theories that want to pin these murders and disappearances on the government. While the government may have some indirect connection to this type of activity, we have to also consider that what could be happening is the result of corporate espionage. Industrial espionage is conducted for commercial purposes rather than espionage for national security reasons, and should be differentiated from what the government may do directly. It is far more believable to consider all of the deaths and the poisonings of these doctors helps big drug companies to guarantee that no natural cure will be on the market. Or, that the process will be slowed down or the formulas stolen and used for a future time. The reason I am thinking that this is the case is because nearly all of the doctors who were killed , were in some way involved in activities related to the use of a naturally occurring immunity-boosting protein known as GcMAF to lessen the effects of autism and other health-related conditions including some cancers. GcMAF is a protein made naturally by the body that helps the immune system ward off cancer and other disease on a day-to-day basis. Human GcMAF, sometimes referred to as ‘vitamin D binding protein macrophage activating factor,’ is believed by many to hold great potential in the treatment of autism, cancer, chronic fatigue and possibly Parkinson’s disease plus other chronic health conditions. Nearly 60 research papers have been published on GcMAF since 1990. GcMAF is a critical component of the body’s immune system. In fact, the immune system can’t function without it. GcMAF is found naturally in the blood and stimulates what is known as the macrophage component of the immune system to help it destroy cancer cells and viral invaders. It also works by blocking the supply of nutrients to cancer cells by squeezing off blood vessel development at the site. This is very valuable information, and would revolutionize the future of naturopathic medicine. Dr. Bradstreet had treated 1,100 patients with GcMAF, in order to reverse the effects of autism with an 85 percent response rate. Dr. Bradstreet began delving into the study of nagalase and its potential role in autism and other conditions. Nagalase is an enzyme produced by cancer cells and viruses. So perhaps what Dr. Bradstreet and the other dead or missing holistic doctors may have begun to suspect was that Nagalase has been intentionally added to vaccines. This would be one reason for the vaccine/autism correlation, and it also explains the broader array of health risks associated with vaccinations. Whether Dr. Bradstreet and others like him had strong evidence to support this, they at least had begun to reveal the secret. Less disease leads to a lowered need for pharmaceuticals and a negative impact on big pharma profits. That has always been at the root of the big pharma conspiracy—holding back any particular miracle so that they can profit form those who are sick and dying. The reason for believing this is quite obvious. Throughout history, we have found that past is rife with coordinated treachery. Age-old struggles that wind up becoming conspiracy yarns have a long sordid backbone that keeps them healthy and breathing. The reason why is we see the body count that if the doctors were put in a box and set end-to-end, the line would lead you straight to the very operation that prides itself on exploiting the sick and those in pain. In the big drug business, there is no cure for shameless greed.

Not Out

He Foresaw His Brother’s Plane Crash In A Dream

He Foresaw His Brother’s Plane Crash In A Dream (Before It's News) The British entertainer Bruce Forsyth, now 87, has been telling of his experience of how he foresaw his brother’s fatal plane crash in World War II. Bruce, then 15, had a slight accident. He fell over, felt dizzy, disorientated and nauseous. In his words: “… Suddenly I’m on a plane, flying over the sea. Not flying, I’m plummeting downwards out of control, at an acute angle. There is nothing I can do. I stagger towards the open door of the aircraft as the dark water rushes towards me. I jump … a strange and unpleasant dream as I drift in and out of consciousness. What makes it particularly disturbing, however, is that I’ve never been on an aeroplane.” Bruce recovers and thinks no more about this until he returned home. “Normally my mother would call out cheerfully the moment I walked through the door. Not this time. I found her sitting in her chair, gazing into space. ‘What’s up, Mum?’ That’s when she told me that my brother John – by then an RAF pilot – had been posted as missing.” It wasn’t until many years later, after his parents had died, that he received an explanation as to what had happened to his brother on the night he went missing. “They had been practising laying sea mines and one of the Wellington planes ditched in the drink. John’s plane, plus another, went back to help in the search and rescue. With their lights on, flying just above the water in an attempt to spot survivors, these two Wellingtons collided. Of the 18 men from the three aircraft that crashed, only seven were picked up. John was not one of them.” It would appear therefore that Bruce’s dream was a precognition. It’s also possible that the dream and the plane crashing happened at the same time. Bruce says that he still thinks of John even to this day.

Educating Ahmed

Educating Ahmed (Before It's News) EDUCATING AHMED The other morning, I was going through the radio channels and wound up on some locally produced radio show that was talking about a number of teacher’s strikes in Washington State. I thought of the irony since classes began two or three weeks ago and now kids are being kept home because teachers are demanding higher pay. I remember when I was in school our teachers also went on strike which meant that we didn’t have to go to school. I always thought to myself as a child, I hope the teachers stay on strike forever – that way I could do the things I wanted to do. When we were told that we would have to make up that time and that it would cut into our summer vacation, I thought that maybe we as kids should organize against teachers and tell them it isn’t our fault that the teachers wanted to strike. We tolerated school when we were kids. It wasn’t going to school we hated – it was the home work. In fact, homework was so bad I actually created a petition in junior high school to ban it. I stated in my petition that if every other teacher, in every other period would issue homework that would be at least an hour of homework for every teacher which equated to at least 4 hours of homework. That meant from the end of school in the afternoon, we would be doing homework all the way up till bedtime. There were assignments that didn’t bother me. I really enjoyed inventing some really fun things for science fair. I guess it was because I always had great science teachers and I also had great history teachers. They certainly were challenging enough. I guess they are they are the reason why I turned out the way I did. The reason I say this is because as I got older I realized it was my education and environment that basically made me who I am today. I know many people want to believe that their children turn out the way they do because of how parents raise them, but reality as uncomfortable as it is points to the fact that the majority of parents have little or no long term effect on their children’s personality, mental health or intelligence. Most children today are nurtured from the time they are baby’s to the time they are toddlers. Then due to commitments with work, divorced single parent scenarios or other projects most parents put their children in day care until they are in elementary school. From there the child spends time in the public education environment and all that they eventually become is a byproduct of their relationship with both teachers and other students. It is in the classroom where students learn about racial histories or heritage, tolerance of those with distinctive sexual roles, and inheriting and disseminating norms, customs, and ideologies. The state is hoping that parents rely heavily on the education system to tech core values to young minds and provide an apt pupil with the skills and habits necessary for participating within their own society. Now many parents believe they have enough influence on a child and many parents do have an interest in their child’s well-being by teaching those values that they feel are important; mostly moral and religious values. The question is: Are the children capable of taking those values and behaviors with them back to school or the day care center of the playground? There is very little correlation between how children behave with their parents and how they behave with their social circles at school. A child may appear to be fine at home. The child may be cooperative and participate is family functions. However, the behavior may be different at school and vice versa. Children (more now than ever) are being shaped by the state and parents feel helpless, but the system has been set up that way. It used to be that if a child turns out badly it is the fault of the parents—now their behaviors as adults can now be blamed more on the state. Annette Fuentes the author of the book “Lockdown High,” has researched the national climate in the school system and what she found out is very surprising. Children are now going to schools that literally seem like they are more like penitentiaries than schools. Children are now being subjected to searches with metal detectors and drug tests for aspirin, police profiling of students with no records, arbitrary expulsions, armed teachers, increased policing, and all-seeing electronic surveillance. Students are constantly being programmed into being obsequious due to the permitted climate of fear that provides the imposition of unprecedented restrictions on young people’s rights, dignity, and educational freedoms. The new “zero tolerance” measures push the most vulnerable and academically needy students out of the classroom and into what Fuentes calls the school to prison pipeline. By now you’ve heard the story of Ahmed Mohamed a 14 year old Muslim boy that brought to school a beeping, strange-looking homemade concealed device that turned out to be a clock. School officials, thinking, as 95 percent of Americans would, that it looked like a bomb, hauled the young boy out of class. Police put him in handcuffs and, even after the confusion passed, the boy was suspended from school. What is odd about this story is that while the faculty of the school reacted as they would with anything suspicious, the entire story has now been exploited as a racist move by school officials. Now, the young boy has been praised by Facebook President Mark Zuckerberg and has even been invited to the Whitehouse by President Obama. The news website, “The Daily Beast,” has also praised the boy as the Muslim hero America is looking for. It is all of this focus on the “maligned Muslim” that we forget that all children are dealt with more harshly than Ahmed Mohammed and all of the praise is hollow and hypocritical when you consider how all children are being treated in the public school system. Many people may have forgotten the story about Josh Welch, a white Maryland kid with ADHD who was 7 years old when he was kicked out of school for chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of a pistol and pretending to shoot other students with it. Well, I wonder how his parents are dealing with this confusion? I wonder how he is reacting to Ahmed’s overblown case? Josh didn’t get a Whitehouse invitation for being creative with is food — and his parents were forced to hire a lawyer and spent a year and a half just trying to get the suspension erased from the kid’s record. They were told no. Alex Stone, a 16-year-old white kid from Summerville, SC, wrote a short story in which he imagined using a gun to kill a dinosaur. For this, his locker was searched and he was arrested, handcuffed, charged with “disorderly conduct” and suspended from school for three days. President Obama said nothing –he could have encouraged the kid by saying said he sounded like a budding Michael Crichton writing a plot to Jurassic Park – But no… Ahmed on the other hand is invited to the Facebook headquarters, offered an internship at Twitter and Microsoft has sent Ahmed some very expensive computer tech like a tablet, smart watch, key board and 3D printer. He is now being encouraged to go to MIT to become a theoretical physicist. In Dyer County, Tennessee, Kendra Turner says she was suspended for saying “Bless you” after a student sneezed, and that her teacher told her that she would have no “godly speaking in class.” Now do you think the Pope will give her a ride on the Pope mobile? Not a chance. You see, Ahmed has become useful for the media. For 14 years the media has been desperate to find some evidence, any evidence, that Muslims in general are facing deep-seated discrimination because of the 9/11 attacks. Other examples include the recent comments by Ben Carson regarding a Muslim should not be president – and Donald Trump not addressing the accusation by a supporter that Obama is a Muslim and that all Muslims should be kept from entering the country. Ahmed is an example of how the state and the media are bending over backwards to cover up the fact that Ahmed and other kids get treated like criminals in the school system by creating a racial profiling story – when it should be a story about police and school overreaction to all students that are being kept in a detention facility like atmosphere – and being taught to have a daily diet of fear and paranoia. How can this incident help students who feel their spirits are being crushed in a system that treats them with suspicion? I think that President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and all of the Ahmed sycophants should educate Ahmed and apologize for how all kids are treated in the school system. As microcosms of the police state, America’s public schools contain almost every aspect of the militarized, intolerant, senseless, over criminalized, legalistic, surveillance-riddled, totalitarian landscape that plagues those of us on the “outside.” From the moment a child enters one of the nation’s 98,000 public schools to the moment she graduates, she will be exposed to a steady diet of draconian zero tolerance policies that criminalize childish behavior, overreaching anti-bullying statutes that criminalize speech, school resource officers (police) tasked with disciplining and/or arresting so-called “disorderly” students, standardized testing that emphasizes rote answers over critical thinking, politically correct mindsets that teach young people to censor themselves and those around them, and extensive biometric and surveillance systems that, coupled with the rest, acclimate young people to a world in which they have no freedom of thought, speech or movement. John Whitehead reports via the Rutherford Institute that by the time the average young person in America finishes their public school education, nearly one out of every three of them will have been arrested. More than 3 million students are suspended or expelled from schools every year, often for minor misbehavior, such as “disruptive behavior” or “insubordination.” Black students are three times more likely than white students to face suspension and expulsion. For instance, a Virginia sixth grader, the son of two school teachers and a member of the school’s gifted program, was suspended for a year after school officials found a maple leaf in his backpack that they suspected was marijuana. Despite the fact that the leaf in question was not marijuana a fact that officials knew almost immediately, the 11-year-old was still kicked out of school, charged with marijuana possession in juvenile court, enrolled in an alternative school away from his friends, subjected to twice-daily searches for drugs, and forced to be evaluated for substance abuse problems. Many state laws require that schools notify law enforcement whenever a student is found with an “imitation controlled substance,” basically anything that look likes a drug but isn’t actually illegal. As a result, students have been suspended for bringing to school household spices such as oregano, breath mints, birth control pills and powdered sugar. It’s not just look-alike drugs that can get a student in trouble under school zero tolerance policies. Look-alike weapons toy guns—even Lego-sized ones, hand-drawn pictures of guns, pencils twirled in a “threatening” manner, imaginary bows and arrows, even fingers positioned like guns can also land a student in detention. However, it looks as if a disassembled clock that looks like an IED that is claimed to be the invention of a Muslim boy—gets him an offer of a paid scholarship at MIT? There is a conspiracy in our public school system where students are purposefully being trained into becoming deficient in common sense. They are constantly having their spirits broken and are being shown with examples like the Ahmed fiasco that those they trust will overreact, and then not have the moral courage to admit that they have become fearful sheep and that they are pouring praise on a young Muslim boy that serves a purpose in the mainstream narrative that now we are all racists. Unlike Ahmed, most students accused of being disorderly or noncompliant have a difficult enough time navigating the bureaucracy of school boards, but when you bring the police into the picture, after-school detention and visits to the principal’s office are transformed into punishments such as misdemeanor tickets, juvenile court, handcuffs, tasers and even prison terms. In the case of Ahmed Mohammed – we all know that the overall attitude the media wants to put in the narrative is that Americans see all Muslims as threats… But a white or Hispanic youth with the same device would have been dealt with in the same fashion — only the media would not have responded – and they wouldn’t have made the kid the misunderstood darling of the moment. We have to admit that, with the climate of fear in the school system that a school teacher or student will notice something that makes them concerned about a young person. You don’t need to be a counterterrorism expert to understand that these types of flags will bring attention to huge swaths of people unlikely to even think of committing a violent act. The media has somehow overlooked the problem in the public school system by using Ahmed’s story to prove that all Muslims are considered suspects and not Americans. The truth is all students are considered suspects – and they are being trained to be that way up until the point when they are released into the real world and realize that they too are not being treated as Americans but as slaves to the state.

Ancient 2,700-year-old “Tomb of the Serpent-Jaguar Priests” Discovered In Peru (Video)

(Before It's News) Archaeologists working in northern Peru have discovered an intact 2,700-year-old tomb belonging to the high-altitude Pacopampa people. The tomb contains as number of fascinating artifacts, along with the bodies of two individuals thought to be high priests. The discovery was made by a combined team of Peruvian and Japanese researchers at a site in the Cajamarca region, some 500 miles (800 km) north of Lima. The surprisingly intact tomb is now being called the “Tomb of the Serpent-Jaguar Priests” on account of a ceramic vessel found at the site featuring a serpent with a jaguar’s head. The item was found next to one of the bodies.

Snowden Says Encryption Could Be Squashing Alien Signals (Video)

(Before It's News) Encryption has become a top priority for those wanting to protect their privacy online, but US whistleblower Edward Snowden says the security measure could be making it impossible to detect signals sent from…aliens. Snowden’s comments were made during an interview on the ‘StarTalk’ podcast of astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson. When Tyson asked Snowden if a highly intelligent alien civilization might be communicating with encrypted messages, Snowden began by saying that most advanced societies realize they need to encrypt their communications, and that this could be the reason why we’ve never heard from other civilizations. The whistleblower was speaking from Moscow via a robot video link called a “beam remote presence system.” Controlling the robot from Russia, he was able to roll straight into Tyson’s office at the Hayden Planetarium in New York.

Is Your Church an Agent of the State? New Tool of Tyranny and Enslavement — Churchix

Is Your Church an Agent of the State? New Tool of Tyranny and Enslavement — Churchix (Before It's News) Source: http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/09/10/the-next-tool-of-tyranny-and-enslavement-is-coming-from-your-pastor-and-fema/ Many who have followed the writings on this site are all too familiar with how the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA have turned your pastor into an agent of the state. And as such, your pastor has been trained to invoke Romans 13 in order to enforce compliance with government edicts, no mater how draconian, in a time of national emergency. Many of the nation’s pastors have been trained how to bring calm to incarcerated Americans being held in the proverbial FEMA camps in which the pastors are forbidden to quote the Bible and speak of Jesus. It would be wise to click on the link for the two aforementioned claims before proceeding with this article. Your Church Is Likely An Agent of the State From the previously referenced links, it is easy to conclude that most of our pastors are compromised along with their message. However, the Clergy Response Team has taken an even darker turn for the worse. In ONLY 120 days, 30 churches from around the world have turned their place of worship into potential pit of enslavement. In geographic locations from Indonesia to India and from Portugal to the United States, churches have started using facial recognition software called Churchix. The innovator and the man in charge of this unholy distribution of unwarranted surveillance technology, Moshe Greenshpan, the CEO of Israel- and Las Vegas-based company Face-Six, is leading the way in installing DARPA and DHS surveillance devices inside the sanctuaries of Christian churches. Make no mistake about it, this surveillance program is a clone of other products that Greenshpan’s company offers to clients, such as law enforcement, public venues, retail outlets and of course, the American Gestapo, DHS. Implementation of Satan’s Surveillance System The Churchix program is implemented in three phases: 1. Enroll People into Churchix’s Data Base. 2. Upload Videos or Photos of Members 3. Churchix Identifies their Faces The Churchix uses CCTV footage or photos to match churchgoers against a database of high-resolution pictures that a church has to compile on its own. The software can be used to monitor attendance numbers, and alert church officials if some members stops coming to services. It can also screen for people banned from the church as pointed out in the company’s description of the operation features. “In the beginning I was surprised. We never thought of churches as potential clients, but we now understand the need. Most churches do already keep track of their members,”Greenshpan told the IBTimes UK. Churches are dependent upon their congregation’s generosity in remaining a viable entity. In the past, your church could often tell if someone was participating in the life of the church by monitoring their offering envelopes given to the church. This is where the real money is, not in the offering plate in which people drop in five dollar bills. Further, why would any church invest in such expensive and elaborate technology in which, for the majority of churches, the cost far outweighs increase in revenue that such a system could realize. This system of so-called revenue generating is flawed on its face unless the technology is being bankrolled from somewhere else. Churchix Is Only Part of the Surveillance Movement That Is Targeting the Average Person From April to June of 2015, a few reports surfaced about the introduction of the Churchix program. However, the reporting was one dimensional and did not look at the bigger surveillance picture. This system is only one part of a massive DHS data mining project designed to target Christians, people of interest and all Americans who are committing the crime of merely living in their homes and attempting to live an American middle class lifestyle. Most of you reading these words are considered to be enemies of the state (see the MIAC Report for an historical context). It is not enough that your computer, or any electronic device, can be used as means to spy upon the owner of the device. DHS is seeking to gain access to ALL home surveillance videos. DHS is also seeking the ability to intercept digital signatures that come on your video camera devices as well. Your video and photos on your cell phones have long been the data base property of DHS. News Hub previously reported (please note the error code) that DHS was indeed seeking to intercept your home surveillance videos for all Americans. That information has been scrubbed. Initially, it could have been obtained through the use of the Wayback Machine. As of September 8, 2015, that, too, has been sanitized. Financing Your Church’s Implementation of Churchix Earlier in this article, the question was raised as to why a church would seek to monitor its members attendance and if a lack of offerings was motivating this type of spying. However, this technology was too expensive to be of any real value. In short, the nation’s churches would spend more than they would recoup from bringing “fallen away” members back into the fold and realizing a revenue increase from church offerings as a result. However, The Common Sense Show has learned that Department of Homeland Security grants are available for churches who wish to upgrade their “technology” in accordance with the rules and procedures associated with their local Fusion Threat Center. Originally, this information was available FEMA’s homepage at this link. As the readers can see, the page has been scrubbed in a similar fashion to the previously referenced New Hub report on this topic. _____________________________ Page Missing Oops. This isn’t good, you’re getting an error message. If you bookmarked a page, it’s possible the page moved or was removed. Obtained from http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/hsgp/#1 ____________________________ However, The Common Sense Show, made a copy of the DHS/FEMA grant program that was, in part, designed to make churches part of the DHS/FEMA national surveillance police state spy grid. Page 22: Citizen Corps Program Requirements State and territory responsibilities . Citizen preparedness and participation must be coordinated by an integrated body of government and nongovernmental representatives. States and local government recipients and sub-grantees of HSGP funds, including urban areas, must have such a body to serve as their Citizen Corps Council with membership that includes, but is not limited to: representatives from emergency management, homeland security, law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services/public health or their designee elected officials the private sector (especially privately owned critical infrastructure) private nonprofits nongovernmental organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and voluntary organizations) advocacy groups for children, seniors, people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Representatives from existing Citizen Corps partners and affiliates active in the community should also be included on these Citizen Corps Councils. Furthermore, Citizen Corps Councils should include a Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) representative, where applicable, along with advocates and specialists representing the unique needs of infants and children and representatives from the disability community. Part of the Bigger Picture Forget the obvious Fourth Amendment protections the Chuchix and your pastor are violating on behalf of DHS/FEMA. The fundamental question is why would a government agency invest so much capital and its resources into such a project? Any competent social psychologist will tell you that body language accounts for roughly 90% of all human communication. Facial expressions, posture and gestures are part of this elaborate communication system. Please consider the following: Computer scientists and musicologists at the University of Oslo have developed new softwarethat lets music lovers add their own personal music, to match their mood, which created by a computer that can effectively read the person’s body language. Paul Ekman, the pioneer of reading body language, according to the Wall Street Journal, “fears he has created a monster”. Ekman originally pioneered the study of facial expressions in the 1970’s. He created an inventory of over 5,000 muscle movements in order to demonstrate hidden emotions. Today companies such as Emotient Inc., Affectiva Inc. and Eyeris have amassed an amazing computer software data base that can seemingly read minds because of the accuracy and thoroughness of the body language reading software. The concern of the public should be great as the Wall Street Journal so accurately states “Collectively, they are amassing an enormous visual database of human emotions, seeking patterns that can predict (pre-crime) emotional reactions and behavior on a massive scale”. You might still be wondering how this could impact you? Imagine that this coming Sunday you are sitting in a church armed with this technology. The terms of the DHS grant given to your church allows the NSA, on behalf of DHS/FEMA, to pirate the video footage of the members of your church. Your facial reactions to your pastor’s message could reveal much about your suitability to live in the New World Order which has hijacked this nation’s government. Conclusion Ask yourself, if you were looking for opponents to the NWO, where would you go to identify them? Since most of the Independent Media are self-professed Christians as are many of their followers, the church would be the logical place to visit. An in an environment where topics such as Transgenerism and the selling body part of aborted fetuses could be discussed, your church would be a good repository to look for future dissenters, today, and eliminate them, before they could become a problem. Please recall, as reported on this site, the NSA maintains a data base on every individual in which every person is assigned a Threat Matrix Score. Churchix is just one more tool to make decisions on people who would turn up on the proverbial Red List. In light of the introduction of this technology to the Church, home Bible study seems like a very good idea.

Phoenix Braces for a Possible False Flag Attack on 9/11

Phoenix Braces for a Possible False Flag Attack on 9/11 (Before It's News) A victim of the Phoenix I-10 shootings. As I made my rounds around people in the know, over the past couple of days, regarding the I-10 shootings, I have concluded that many are very worried that Phoenix will be the site of the next big false flag event. This article details what is known and follows an obvious evidence trail to some very disturbing conclusions. The I-10 Sniper(s) On September 10, 2015, a Phoenix Sniper(s) struck again as Arizona cops have confirmed 11th freeway shooting in less than 12 days. The shootings have taken place near Interstate 10, mere miles from the downtown area. Phoenix is now a city that is becoming paralyzed with fear. For example, many school districts say they will keep their buses off the highways until the crisis is resolved. According to a local poll, 50% of the city said they would avoid the 10-12 mile stretch of highway where the shootings have taken place. The event is dominating the news in the local media. In fact, I have been asked to be on the radio with a local activist to provide my assessment of the present state of affairs and this is what I will say about what I presently know and understand. The Event Is Being Labled As a Terrorist Event Arizona law enforcement and local civilian authorities have even used the word “terrorism” to describe a series of shootings along the Interstate 10 corridor. They may be closer to the real truth than many people realize. The Phoenix shootings have drawn comparisons to the so-called DC sniper attacks that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area in the fall of 2002. In total, 10 people were killed in those shootings, which targeted drivers pumping gas and people out for other ordinary errands. One of the gunman, John Allen Muhammad, was executed in 2009, and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, is serving life without the possibility of parole. However, the events in Phoenix donot follow the patten followed by Muhammand and Malvo. The Gang That Could Not Shoot Straight Yesterday, as I watched news report after news report, I could see the frustration of LEO’s and politicians as they were being interviewed by the media. The Department of Public Safety is now saying that there are multiple shooters and the shooters are not connected. Police authorities are conveying an air of helplessness. A screen shot of the “Shotspotter” detection system is employed by the Phoenix Police. The inability to pinpoint the shooters, in Phoenix is indeed very surprising, given the fact that Phoenix has the latest in cutting-edge gunfire detection systems called ShotSpotter. In order to cut down on New Years Eve revelers who shoot off their guns into the air at midnight, Phoenix police employ the use of the the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system which works via a mix of sensors, software and satellites. To employ the system, a series of sensors are placed on top of buildings and light poles, 8-12 per square mile. These sensors detect and record when an actual gunshot is detected. Gregg Rowland, Vice President of ShotSpotter, a company based in Mountain View, California stated that “Instead of relying on vague 911 calls, if the shots are even reported, an officer can respond with reliable intel.” Rowland also went on to say that “There isn’t much that can fool these babies.” ShotSpotter can pinpoint a shot to within three feet! The ShotSpotter system has been installed in 20 cities across the United States and Phoenix, AZ. is one of these cities. According to police random shooters involved in 11 shooting incidents in 12 days, in a city that employs Shotspotter have not been able to detect where the shot have come from and then go to the area and obtain local surveillance video to identify the shooters, getaway cars, etc. Yet, LEO’s say that they know very little. Given the technology involved and the length of time that these events have taken place over such a confined area, I know the public is not being told the truth. I actually had one LEO tell me the media was not telling the truth but he refused to elaborate. In summary, unidentified shooters have been terrorizing a large city of four million people. This is a city with sophisticated gunshot detection technology. The surface perimeter of the events is about 10 miles of open highway which is densely populated and these shooters are able to avoid detection. Yet, armed with the ability to avoid detection, these shooters of 0 for 11 in hitting their targets. Yes, that is correct, these experts at avoiding detection have not killed anyone. This simply does not add up. In order to look for motives for these non random events, we need to look at the ISIS inspired shooting earlier this summer in Chattanooga, TN. Can the Chattanooga Shootings Provide Clues for the Phoenix I-10 Shootings? Sleeper cell assassin, Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, who murdered four American servicemen on the first day of Jade Helm exercises. Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez attacked two separate military facilities which resulted in the death of five American servicemen. There were warnings that this Jihadist murder was going to carry out his heinous crime from excerpts of the two following posts made less than three days before the attack. Posted on July 13, 2015 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم In the Name of Allah (SWT), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Here is a telling excerpt from a web post made by the assassin less than three days before his horrible act, as published in “Understanding Islam: The Story of the Three Blind Men”. “…Take your study guide, the Quran and Sunnah, with strength and faith, and be firm as you live your short life in this prison called Dunya. Allah (SWT) says live for this life and the hereafter according to their length. Rasulullah says the life on this world compared to the hereafter is like a drop compared to an ocean”. (Editor’s Note: Nineteen times in the Quran, the teachings call for the murder of nonbelievers. How did the NSA miss these website posts by this soon-to-be murderer?) “…Brothers and sisters don’t be fooled by your desires, this life is short and bitter and the opportunity to submit to allah may pass you by. Take his word as your light and code and do not let other prisoners, whether they are so called “Scholars” or even your family members, divert you from the truth. If you make the intention to follow allahs way 100 % and put your desires to the side, allah will guide you to what is right…” This was an ISIS event, for which they have taken responsibility for. The Details of the Shooting Could Be a Portend for What Is Happening in Phoenix Forty to fifty shots were fired at a military recruiting center. Several minutes later, the assassin opened fire upon a Navy Reserve center in different part of Chattanooga several minutes apart from the scene of the first shooting. Why Did the Assassin Open Fire On Two Military Sites? Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez wasn’t merely a man who went crazy one day in July. The military experts, I have spoken with have told me that clearly that the shootings of the first crime scene were merely a distraction to draw law enforcement authorities away from the real intended target which was the second crime scene. This bought this ISIS assassin more time to carry out his true intentions at the second crime scene. One former marine corps sniper, with extensive Middle East duty, told me that Abdulazeez was a highly trained assassin and very proficient in carrying out both shootings. Look at the shooting pattern at one of the crime scenes. Imagine that the glass door was a paper target. Then you will note the tight pattern of shooting. This man as a professionally trained assassin who was highly proficient in the use of assault weapons. Notice that the bullet dispersals are basically at the same depth. Men diving under the desks for cover, were diving into the spray pattern of the shots. With he creation of a distraction crime scene, at the first scene, and with the shooting pattern of an expert, this man was a real professional. However, the closest he ever came to military training was his brief Mixed Martial Arts fighting career. Where did he get is training? ISIS? CIA? Both? I have come to believe that there are many contextual clues in the Chattanooga shootings to the Phoenix I-10 sniper events. If the shooters in Phoenix wanted to kill people at this point in time, people would be dead. Are we really supposed to believe that these shooters, who are adept at avoiding detection, can’t hit the broad side of a barn? Further, I think it is likely the distraction of the first scene shooting in Chattanooga has applicability to what we are seeing in Phoenix. From experts I have spoken to off the record, I think it is likely that the I-10 shooters are involved in a series of Beta tests. First, it is fairly clear that law enforcement reaction times and patters of response are being noted. Secondly, I fear that the I-10 shooters are setting up a distraction. Based on what has been written here, it is really so far-fetched to state that they Phoenix shooters will one day simultaneously open fire along the 10 miles stretch of I-10 in order to draw law enforcement away from an intended target in the same manner as Abdulazeez. Only this time, the I-10 assassins are shooting to kill in order to draw away as many police as possible. Then, in the same pattern we saw in Chattanooga, the real target is attacked. and what could that target be? To answer that question, one has to think like a terrorist. What would bring the most devastating effect upon a community. The answer would be an attack upon a school as the school was letting out. Secondly, I could foresee a crowded mall constituting a high value target. Luke Air Force Base Yesterday, the skies over West Phoenix were filled with formations of F-16 planes. This is an unusual site because Luke is a training base where we train many of our foreign allies pilots. the flights are normally conducted in pairs and the locals don’t typically see massive amounts of planes. The timing of this event is suspicious given the timing of the I-10 shootings. Summary I fear an ISIS involvement in Phoenix, however, I cannot be certain at this point. What I certain of is that we will never be told the truth and the possibility for a patsy to take the fall is high. Phoenix is on edge and for good reason. Unfortunately, this is the new America.

Morrogh Fairfax County Detention Center McKenna’s family attorney, Harvey Volzer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk2CiJANrfY Published on Sep 10, 2015 Fairfax County, VA – Police in Virginia, have released video showing the events leading up to the death of Natasha McKenna, a 37-year-old woman who died in February, days after she was hit with a stun gun four times while being forcefully removed from a jail cell at the Fairfax County Detention Center. The deputies involved in McKenna’s death will not be charged, the district attorney announced this week. The video, which is more than 40 minutes long, shows a team of deputies, dressed in protective gear, removing McKenna from her cell. The district attorney’s full report, which declared McKenna’s death an accident , not a crime, can be read here. Her death was ruled accidental by the medical examiner, caused by “excited delirium associated with physical restraint including use of conductive energy device, contributing: Schizophrenia and Bi-Polar Disorder.” McKenna, who had a history of mental illness, was being removed from her cell to be transferred from Fairfax County to Alexandria city jail.

This is what happens when you substitute disinterested and unqualified people for mental health professionals. Had this woman been in a mental institution (do they exist anymore?) the staff could have subdued her without electrocuting her with tasers. They do it all the time. Shock and awe responses like this only escalates the terror and rage the psychotic individual is experiencing. They are not processing information or commands to stop resisting arrest etc. Our caring society. Shirley Histen James Turner ~ Oh my gosh this is frightening. There’s no way she could have been resisting with 5 or 6 big men on top of her. I wonder why they needed the masks to go in for her. What did they give her and do to her? And this country criticizes other countries for human rights abuses. Scott Stockwell · UC Berkeley She was afraid that they would kill her. I guess she had good reason. Obadiah Owens The guy in the video at the bottom moved to put his knee on her neck. You can hear her struggling for life. It’s natural human reaction when in pain the body moves to stop the pain. If you struggle for life it’s a natural reaction to fight for your life but we keep hearing over and over “STOP RESISTING”. Jennifer Paggeot Fisher · Tucson, Arizona Obadiah Owens, I have said much the same thing over and over again: when someone is beating you about the face and head, your first, most natural instinct is to shield your face and head…while they are simultaneously screaming at you to put your hands behind your back. What?? WHO can override that most basic instinct? It’s exactly the same as trying to wriggle away (resist) from the source of pain. Shirley Histen John Saint ~ That was my thought … that to repeat “Stop resisting” MIGHT make it believable that she had any CHANCE of resisting. Was an autopsy done? Steve Evets My 23 year old schizophrenic goddaughter who was in the midst of a psychotic breakdown was afraid of the cops who took her to the hospital and she was right–they broke her arm. Kaitlyn Richardson Actually, in this case they arrested her as soon as she was discharged from a hospital where she was being treated for the episode. The reason? She had “resisted arrest” when she was originally brought to the hospital in the throes of psychosis. She was recovering and the doctors insisted she not be arrested, but the cops threw her in jail anyway. She worsened rapidly as she was repeatedly beaten and tormented, and eventually they killed her. Carolyn Louise Mabry · Hoopdance Teacher, Circus and Fire performer at Caroleeena’s Circles of Joy The people who chose not to charge these monsters are also monsters. Mina Jiluda Sadistic psychopaths working with and for the sadistic psychopaths that protect them. Our country shows too much nerve to preach to others about human rights. Mike Kurz · Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania “On Feb. 3, McKenna was shocked four times while she was restrained by several officers at Fairfax County Adult Detention Center in Virginia. She stopped breathing minutes later and was transported to an area hospital, where she died after five days.” FIVE DAYS LATER. She suffered for five days because multiple officers couldn’t handle restraining her without killing her. Slowly. Over the course of five f*cking days. Sheriff Kincaid might as well have just said “We cleared the officers of wrongdoing. Now that we got that out of the way, watch this video of those officers torturing a woman to death.” Armando R. Paredez the sad part is that they have become so sadistic that they don’t consider any of these actions outside the norm or the law. Mina Jiluda Armando R. Paredez That is because the legal system does not hold them accountable. Therefore, they believe they, themselves are the law. Obadiah Owens Vary hard to watch someone die on video like this. There is no respect for humanity and how people can just continue to live and not be bothered by their actions to cause a human to die is even more troubling. Dave Watson my god. any third world country would have handled that better. antagonizing her from the start is really smart. send in 2 women to talk with her for a minute at least, someone with some compassion at least. Armando R. Paredez its prison… they train compassion out of them or simply force those out. what was that university experiment they did in the 50s or 60s in which the guards became so sadistic they had to stop it before its conclusion? Ronald Burker · Boonsboro Senior High Armando R. Paredez I worked almost 20 years in prison and I would not be afraid to let anyone talk to the inmates that I dealt with. I gave inmates nothing but human respect and most would tell you that. Of course I been sued, that is normal. They are people and this treatment of the mentally ill is BS Ingrid Buxton · University of Minnesota This is what happens when all the treatment centers and even homes for the mentally ill are closed down and the supposed community facilities are never build the money being diverted into tax breaks for the wealthy. But what is really pathetic is that none of these cops know how to hold a person from behind, locking one arm under another with a second person sitting on the legs so the people cant hurt themselves or anyone else. I learned this technique 40 years ago working with emotionally disturbed kids and we never even had a kid needing medical attention after a holding.

Top World scientist in bomb disposal of all kinds, including nuclear bombs, proposes a New Peace Initiative

Top World scientist in bomb disposal of all kinds, including nuclear bombs, proposes a New Peace Initiative % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Man is his own worst enemy when it comes to using his perceived greater intelligence to keep his/her family and others safe. The United Nations is the greatest attempt to solve World conflicts but it miserably fails to do so in most cases, like in Iraq and Afghanistan with their sponsored illegal wars and interventions. The UN does not represent World opinion and quite the contrary because of its formation in 1948 by the five countries who had nuclear weapons. The US, UK, Russia, France and China. They formed themselves into the UN Permament Security Council Members with the dictate no other country should have nuclear weapons without any International Authority or Law to base such on. Today there are a further ten members making fifteen but they are only temporary members for just two years, chosen on a temporary rotational basis and have no right of Veto. George Bush and Tony Blair undermined the authority of the UN because they knew they needed a second resolution to wage war in Iraq while the rest wanted Hans Blix’s teams to continue searching for WMDs not having found any. They tried to get support offering bribes but they could not, so they decided to wage war alone. Koffi Annan should have called for a New Resolution to stop them after President Saddam Hussein had handed overall his SCUD International ballistic missiles and could not Fly his Air force to protect his ill-equipped ground forces. In addition no WMDs had been found and even if they had, they would have been taken by the weapon inspectors, so the reason of the being a threat was removed. My proposals for a New World Government would replace the UN and the various bodies would be adopted with new terms of references. In addition strict terms of membership would be required to be adhered to with no nuclear weapons or the means of producing enriched nuclear material, all monitored by a World Government Inspectorate with members from each Country to host the Inspection teams. International conflicts would be determined by a Tribunal of twelve judges with no vested interest in any outcome and their findings would have tobe final. A new Judicial system with a common set of Laws and punishments, would ensure all humans were treated equally. I would appreciate any comments to my email address [email protected]

Cops Caught On Video In Donut Shop Joking About Killing People And Turning Off Body Cameras

Cops Caught On Video In Donut Shop Joking About Killing People And Turning Off Body Cameras (Before It's News) Thefreethoughtproject San Francisco, CA – Two police officers were recently recorded in a Happy Donuts location, joking and laughing about shooting and killing civilians. One of the officers was telling the other about how they can kill suspects while the body camera is rolling, as long as the situation would look justifiable in the video. It seems that the officers were debating which type of evidence they wouldn’t mind appearing on body camera footage, and what type of evidence they would like to cover up. The officer seen in the video can be heard joking about how killing a suspect who has their hands up would be something that they don’t want to show up on camera. The officers then made sounds and gestures of what it would sound like for a person to get shot, and continued to laugh in hysteria. The video was captured by a nearby person who held the camera up just over their shoulder to record the exchange. It is actually surprising that the officer did not realize that he was being filmed because the footage was recorded just feet away from him. The video was later posted to Instagram with the following message: This was filmed at Happy Donuts on the corner of 24th St. & Church St., San Francisco. The cop is explaining to his partner what footage he does & doesn’t “want” caught on their new body cameras. In this 1st video, the cop explains to his partner how what he DOES want caught on camera is a civilian pointing a gun at him & him murdering said civilian in “self-defense”. Notice how he laughs & treats the subject of murdering someone as a joke. In the 2nd video, he’ll explain that what his partner DOESN’T want caught on their body camera is when a civilian has their hands up & they murder them regardless. Notice how they joke about the death of a surrendering civilian, the bullet wounds & “brain splatter.” Interestingly enough, the San Francisco Police Department seems more concerned with finding the person who took the video, than they are with disciplining the officers involved. The police department issued a statement after the video went viral, asking the person who originally posted the recording to come forward and contact the police. San Francisco police do not yet have body cameras, but they are currently being planned for the city, and this conversation gives a glimpse into the attitude that police officers have about them and the general public in general. Situations like this are exactly why we need to be conscious to film police, not just during traffic stops, but whenever they are in uniform, so we can prove to the world how they actually operate.Video at source link below.

Common Sense

The Next Tool of Tyranny and Enslavement Is Coming From Your Pastor and FEMA

The Next Tool of Tyranny and Enslavement Is Coming From Your Pastor and FEMA (Before It's News) Many who have followed the writings on this site are all too familiar with how the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA have turned your pastor into an agent of the state. And as such, your pastor has been trained to invoke Romans 13 in order to enforce compliance with government edicts, no mater how draconian, in a time of national emergency. Many of the nation’s pastors have been trained how to bring calm to incarcerated Americans being held in the proverbial FEMA camps in which the pastors are forbidden to quote the Bible and speak of Jesus. It would be wise to click on the link for the two aforementioned claims before proceeding with this article. Your Church Is Likely An Agent of the State From the previously referenced links, it is easy to conclude that most of our pastors are compromised along with their message. However, the Clergy Response Team has taken an even darker turn for the worse. In ONLY 120 days, 30 churches from around the world have turned their place of worship into potential pit of enslavement. In geographic locations from Indonesia to India and from Portugal to the United States, churches have started using facial recognition software called Churchix. The innovator and the man in charge of this unholy distribution of unwarranted surveillance technology, Moshe Greenshpan, the CEO of Israel- and Las Vegas-based company Face-Six, is leading the way in installing DARPA and DHS surveillance devices inside the sanctuaries of Christian churches. Make no mistake about it, this surveillance program is a clone of other products that Greenshpan’s company offers to clients, such as law enforcement, public venues, retail outlets and of course, the American Gestapo, DHS. Implementation of Satan’s Surveillance System The Churchix program is implemented in three phases: 1. Enroll People into Churchix’s Data Base. 2. Upload Videos or Photos of Members 3. Churchix Identifies their Faces The Churchix uses CCTV footage or photos to match churchgoers against a database of high-resolution pictures that a church has to compile on its own. The software can be used to monitor attendance numbers, and alert church officials if some members stops coming to services. It can also screen for people banned from the church as pointed out in the company’s description of the operation features. . “In the beginning I was surprised. We never thought of churches as potential clients, but we now understand the need. Most churches do already keep track of their members,”Greenshpan told the IBTimes UK. Churches are dependent upon their congregation’s generosity in remaining a viable entity. In the past, your church could often tell if someone was participating in the life of the church by monitoring their offering envelopes given to the church. This is where the real money is, not in the offering plate in which people drop in five dollar bills. Further, why would any church invest in such expensive and elaborate technology in which, for the majority of churches, the cost far outweighs increase in revenue that such a system could realize. This system of so-called revenue generating is flawed on its face unless the technology is being bankrolled from somewhere else. Churchix Is Only Part of the Surveillance Movement That Is Targeting the Average Person From April to June of 2015, a few reports surfaced about the introduction of the Churchix program. However, the reporting was one dimensional and did not look at the bigger surveillance picture. This system is only one part of a massive DHS data mining project designed to target Christians, people of interest and all Americans who are committing the crime of merely living in their homes and attempting to live an American middle class lifestyle. Most of you reading these words are considered to be enemies of the state (see the MIAC Report for an historical context). It is not enough that your computer, or any electronic device, can be used as means to spy upon the owner of the device. DHS is seeking to gain access to ALL home surveillance videos. DHS is also seeking the ability to intercept digital signatures that come on your video camera devices as well. Your video and photos on your cell phones have long been the data base property of DHS. News Hub previously reported (please note the error code) that DHS was indeed seeking to intercept your home surveillance videos for all Americans. That information has been scrubbed. Initially, it could have been obtained through the use of the Wayback Machine. As of September 8, 2015, that, too, has been sanitized. Financing Your Church’s Implementation of Churchix Earlier in this article, the question was raised as to why a church would seek to monitor its members attendance and if a lack of offerings was motivating this type of spying. However, this technology was too expensive to be of any real value. In short, the nation’s churches would spend more than they would recoup from bringing “fallen away” members back into the fold and realizing a revenue increase from church offerings as a result. However, The Common Sense Show has learned that Department of Homeland Security grants are available for churches who wish to upgrade their “technology” in accordance with the rules and procedures associated with their local Fusion Threat Center. Originally, this information was available FEMA’s homepage at this link. As the readers can see, the page has been scrubbed in a similar fashion to the previously referenced New Hub report on this topic. _____________________________ Page Missing Oops. This isn’t good, you’re getting an error message. If you bookmarked a page, it’s possible the page moved or was removed. Obtained from http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/hsgp/#1 ____________________________ However, The Common Sense Show, made a copy of the DHS/FEMA grant program that was, in part, designed to make churches part of the DHS/FEMA national surveillance police state spy grid. Page 22: Citizen Corps Program Requirements State and territory responsibilities . Citizen preparedness and participation must be coordinated by an integrated body of government and nongovernmental representatives. States and local government recipients and sub-grantees of HSGP funds, including urban areas, must have such a body to serve as their Citizen Corps Council with membership that includes, but is not limited to: representatives from emergency management, homeland security, law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services/public health or their designee elected officials the private sector (especially privately owned critical infrastructure) private nonprofits nongovernmental organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and voluntary organizations) advocacy groups for children, seniors, people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Representatives from existing Citizen Corps partners and affiliates active in the community should also be included on these Citizen Corps Councils. Furthermore, Citizen Corps Councils should include a Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) representative, where applicable, along with advocates and specialists representing the unique needs of infants and children and representatives from the disability community. Part of the Bigger Picture Forget the obvious Fourth Amendment protections the Chuchix and your pastor are violating on behalf of DHS/FEMA. The fundamental question is why would a government agency invest so much capital and its resources into such a project? Any competent social psychologist will tell you that body language accounts for roughly 90% of all human communication. Facial expressions, posture and gestures are part of this elaborate communication system. Please consider the following: Computer scientists and musicologists at the University of Oslo have developed new software that lets music lovers add their own personal music, to match their mood, which created by a computer that can effectively read the person’s body language. Paul Ekman, the pioneer of reading body language, according to the Wall Street Journal, “fears he has created a monster”. Ekman originally pioneered the study of facial expressions in the 1970’s. He created an inventory of over 5,000 muscle movements in order to demonstrate hidden emotions. Today companies such as Emotient Inc., Affectiva Inc. and Eyeris have amassed an amazing computer software data base that can seemingly read minds because of the accuracy and thoroughness of the body language reading software. The concern of the public should be great as the Wall Street Journal so accurately states “Collectively, they are amassing an enormous visual database of human emotions, seeking patterns that can predict (pre-crime) emotional reactions and behavior on a massive scale”. You might still be wondering how this could impact you? Imagine that this coming Sunday you are sitting in a church armed with this technology. The terms of the DHS grant given to your church allows the NSA, on behalf of DHS/FEMA, to pirate the video footage of the members of your church. Your facial reactions to your pastor’s message could reveal much about your suitability to live in the New World Order which has hijacked this nation’s government. Conclusion Ask yourself, if you were looking for opponents to the NWO, where would you go to identify them? Since most of the Independent Media are self-professed Christians as are many of their followers, the church would be the logical place to visit. An in an environment where topics such as Transgenerism and the selling body part of aborted fetuses could be discussed, your church would be a good repository to look for future dissenters, today, and eliminate them, before they could become a problem. Please recall, as reported on this site, the NSA maintains a data base on every individual in which every person is assigned a Threat Matrix Score. Churchix is just one more tool to make decisions on people who would turn up on the proverbial Red List. In light of the introduction of this technology to the Church, home Bible study seems like a very good idea.

Statement by PM Netanyahu

Statement by PM Netanyahu (Before It's News) Statement by PM Netanyahu (Communicated by the Prime Minister’s Media Adviser) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Monday, 5 October 2015), made the following statement: “I would like to commend the ISA personnel who solved the terrible murder of the Henkins near Nablus. They acted very quickly and also apprehended the murderers. We are acting with a strong hand against terrorism and against inciters. We are operating on all fronts. We have brought an additional four IDF battalions into Judea and Samaria, and thousands of police into Jerusalem. The police are going deeply into the Arab neighborhoods, which has not been done in the past. We will demolish terrorists’ homes. We are allowing our forces to take strong action against those who throw rocks and firebombs. This is necessary in order to safeguard the security of Israeli citizens on the roads and everywhere. We are not prepared to give immunity to any rioter, inciter or terrorist anywhere; therefore, there are no restrictions on the action of our security forces. We will also lift restrictions regarding action against inciters. We will act against the Islamic Movement which, together with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, is the main source of incitement. I would like to thank the personnel of the IDF, Border Police, Israel Police and the ISA who have been working around the clock for our security; they are doing excellent work. They have full backing from me and from the government. We are in a difficult struggle but one thing should be clear – we will win. Just as we defeated previous waves of terrorism, we will defeat this one as well.” Source: http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=68581

A Jew's Take on Jesus Movies

Acculturated's R.J. Moeller has penned an excellent commentary on faith-based films in light of the Christian controversy surrounding Noah: ...no one who doesn’t already believe in God will go see Son of God. And many who do believe in God and who do go see it are, like me, plopping down $$14 or $$15 purely from a sense of solidarity with the well-intentioned creators of such projects. There are other, better “Jesus movies.” A dramatic reading of some of the more risqué and exciting parts of the Bible by the likes of Morgan Freeman would interest me more than sitting through Son of God again. And while neither option likely interests your secular, non-religious co-worker, neighbor, or relative, all of them will go see something like Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. This is why I, as a Christian, am infinitely more excited about Noah than any other “faith-based” film in a long time – regardless of the theology or worldview found in it. I can actually talk to my non-Christian friends about it because they will actually pay U.S. currency (or BitCoin) to go see it. ...what I am suggesting is that while we work to inspire and equip new generations of artists who share our values to boldly venture into the pop-culture fray, we must not miss opportunities to introduce our worldview into the cultural conversation. ... Art has the power to transcend and speak to the soul. But it must be able to meet people on their level before pointing them upward. Upon first read I knew Moeller went out on a limb with his commentary, precisely because what he says is the truth. And truth doesn't always gel with religious dogma; I'm a Jew, I should know. One advantage I do have over my Christian brothers when it comes to faith is that my Jewish culture encourages -- and is built on -- wrestling with God's word. These matches stray far from the polite scenarios common to gentile Christian faith. However, they have resulted in a similarity between us, in that they have developed and sustained a religious culture that reveres commentary as much as the actual Word of God.

Noah: A Good Jewish Boy's Cinematic Drash

Darren Aronofsky’s take on the classic tale of Noah is the Jewish guy’s Bible movie. The narrative, which does remain true to the textual account of Genesis, is crafted in the style akin to a scholarly drash. In another lifetime you might imagine this story to have been generated by a minyan of Talmud scholars poring over the story in their classes. Perhaps that is why the Christian audience has reacted so poorly to the film; it is not, in the words of Walter Hudson, told “from a Christian theological standpoint.” The audience is treated to a wrestling, not recounting, of the text for two very good reasons: A four-chapter story would make for a very short film and Aronofsky, for however religious he may or may not be at the moment, is most definitely 100% a Jew. Aronofsky’s Noah remains, first and foremost, a story of redemption as it was interpreted thousands of years ago when paired with Haftarah portions in Isaiah (42-43 and 54-55) for the weekly Torah reading. Like the patriarch Jacob, Noah wrestles with God: the battle is a question of original sin and free will. Redemption, Aronofsky illustrates, is a choice entered into by covenant with God. It is not simply a no-strings-attached gift granted to perfectly bad people by a perfectly good looking guy who tests well with focus groups. Contrary to most Bible epics, a faceless, voiceless God communicates His redemptive plan to Noah through the Biblically prophetic device of a metaphoric dream. “You must trust that He speaks to you in a way you understand,” Noah's grandfather Methuselah advises. Reminiscent of the Tanakh prophecy “your old men will see visions, your young men will dream dreams,” Aronofsky engages Noah with his aged, wise grandfather, who advises him of Enoch’s prophecy that God would, one day, annihilate the world by fire.

Conservative is the New Liberal

Michelle Goldberg over at the Nation published an excellent article on the #CancelColbert controversy arising out of what she has dubbed the "New Political Correctness": It’s increasingly clear that we are entering a new era of political correctness. Recently, we’ve seen the calls to #CancelColbert because of something outrageous said by Stephen Colbert’s blowhard alter ego, who has been saying outrageous things regularly for nine years. Then there’s the sudden demand for “trigger warnings” on college syllabi, meant to protect students from encountering ideas or images that may traumatize them; an Oberlin faculty document even suggests jettisoning “triggering material when it does not contribute directly to the course learning goals.” At Wellesley, students have petitioned to have an outdoor statue of a lifelike sleepwalking man removed because it was causing them “undue stress.” As I wrote in The Nation, there’s pressure in some circles not to use the word “vagina” in connection with reproductive rights, lest it offend trans people. Radicals thrive on crisis. The crises they are generating are evidence of how truly free we are as a nation. Panicking over statuary is as #FirstWorldProblem as you can get. Yet we should not be fooled: The chaos of radicals always has a serious motive. Nor is this just happening here. In England’s left-wing New Statesman, Sarah Ditum wrote of the spread of no-platforming—essentially stopping people whose ideas are deemed offensive from speaking publicly. She cites the shouting down of an opponent of the BDS movement at Galway University and the threats and intimidation leveled at the radical feminist Julie Bindel, who has said cruel things about trans people. “No platform now uses the pretext of opposing hate speech to justify outrageously dehumanising language, and sets up an ideal of ‘safe spaces’ within which certain individuals can be harassed,” wrote Ditum. “A tool that was once intended to protect democracy from undemocratic movements has become a weapon used by the undemocratic against democracy.” Whether it is in a public forum or a private business (as with last week's case of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich) “no-platforming” is the desired outcome of the radical-induced chaos. Whether it is used against the presumed liberal (feminism) or conservative (anti-BDS) cause, the outcome is the same: a clampdown on free speech and individual expression, marketed as kind-hearted, feel-good social legislation. Orwell would not be surprised.

Nothing but a Bad Joke

The Patriot Post ® · Nothing but a Bad Joke This government, I have to laugh when I say that, is nothing but a bad joke. Here’s what’s sadder: we the people are another bad joke. Has everyone but a few lost their sanity? Has everyone lost the intelligence of basic economics? It is clear that few know history, and fewer still remember what happened within the last year! This country seems to be stuck on stupid from the electorate, the elected, and the judiciary. For the life of me I cannot put my finger on what has robbed people of their intelligence, independence or maturity. I want to point to the liberal progressive agenda but that cannot possible be such a strong influence to create such stupidity. I would like to say it must be something in the water but then I would be suffering from the same lame thinking that has a large part of our population in its grip. If all this sad state of affairs were easily cured with a simple 5.56 solution the choices would be simple but I am afraid that would only make things a lot worse than they are. Maybe the real solution is for those with any intelligence remaining, should immigrate to a part of the country where reason can be the norm and leave those stuck in the Bizarro World in a geographic location that does not include those of us with the means to live without the craziness of the current normal of the above mentioned malady that has at least 50% of our population in it embrace. Where that location is, I do not have a clue, but I am looking diligently to get the heck out of Dodge where sanity is the norm. I pray for God’s guidance daily as the choices are narrowing and the tyranny is growing.

Letter to Rep. Denny Heck (D-WA)

The Patriot Post ® · Letter to Rep. Denny Heck (D-WA) Denny Heck, D WA Member of Congress Your reply to my message to you, indicated that you have been following the issues I expressed outrage and concern over, went over with me like a lead balloon. You say you have been following Benghazi, the IRS and AP spying, to mention but a few of the issues, but your answer holds no substance. The issues of the Benghazi cover-up and misrepresentations from our POTUS and Secretary of State et al are documented and the deception perpetrated by the actors involved is clear. Your lack of enforcement of honesty and truthfulness of our government indicates a collusion concerning a growing tyranny in our government; I hope I am wrong on that account. Our Federal government has been overstepping the constitutional limits for years and we as a people of a Free Constitutional Republic deserve representation of elected that follow their oath of office and work to maintain the Liberty and Rights as protected, not defined, in the Constitution. You indicate the congress has held multiple hearings on the above mentioned issues, which daily is appearing like a dog and pony show to appease the American people. The Obama administration is creating issues with grass root Americans concerning other hot buttons to distract us from the malfeasance of Benghazi, IRS AP, and intelligence gathering from non-suspect Americans in violation of constitutional protections, this must stop and what appears to be criminal actions of some must be confronted. The issue of dishonest government elected and bureaucrats is offensive to the sensibilities of the American people. Sure there are those uninformed and uneducated segment of the population that will be deceived by whatever is on the menu of the political manipulation of the day but many of us are not so easily deceived. It is past time for you and the other members of Congress to tackle the malfeasance in our government and bring those responsible to justice no matter who they are. I will and want to support you as my congressman if you can show you deserve my support by more than a reply to this letter from you and not one of you staffers with specific actions you as my representative in congress are involved in to remedy the issues facing the American people. As this letter indicates I have been losing confidence in our government to represent the people of this nation. Passing legislation that works to enslave rather than enhance our Liberty is not acceptable. I have not yet joined any political party, although I have very clear beliefs in my Liberty and protected rights, and have not become involved any more than expressing my opinion in letters like this but the day is rapidly approaching that will change, as the Liberty minded people are awakening from our, I hate to admit it, slumber as we always felt we could trust our elected to protect our rights, freedom and station as a free people. The last few years have shown the time of just working for a living and leaving political concerns to our elected is no longer an option as most of you have failed us miserably. I look forward to hearing from you very soon with more than a form letter selected from a list of canned responses.

Non-Compliance: I Will Not Comply

The Patriot Post ® · Non-Compliance: I Will Not Comply My Non-Compliance is not Disobedience My non-compliance is obedience to God. It may require disobedience to “the man.” It is overt non-compliance. I will not comply. It is time for a stand. “The man” who sits in the Oval Office is preparing to use an executive order to infringe on my God-given responsibility to keep and bear arms. I am in non-compliance. To keep and bear arms is a “right” under the 2nd Amendment. And I am indeed concerned about my 2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. But man’s law is secondary to God’s law, even in modern America. God considers it my responsibility to protect my family, property and my fellow man. I do not belong to some weird cult. It is in the Bible. As a Christian, I must take God’s Word seriously. But let me be real. He says it is also your responsibility. He is God. You are man. It is your responsibility to be armed and to protect those in your care. Non-compliance is serious. But like my brothers at the Patriot Post, I will not comply. Mark Alexander, the Publisher of the Patriot Post started the movement. He wrote a moving essay as a statement. He said, “I will not comply.” People are signing an on-line petition at Patriot Post to support the cause. I believe this act of non-compliance is a just cause. Here is more on my perspective. My non-compliance is based on the necessity to disobey God in order to comply with “the man.” Obama and his silly crew can produce any order, edict, law, or senate backed decision they want. I will not disobey God on this matter. Non-compliance is my stand. It is time to share my references. Then I will expand on the idea. My purpose is to challenge you. The Bible and my friend Ted Weiland are my sources. The Bible is Ted’s source too, of course. And he has also written extensively on this subject. That made my job here easier. 1) Reason for non-compliance: “Let the high praises of God be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise Ye Yahweh.” –Psalm 149:6-9 2) Reason for non-compliance: “If the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.” –Matthew 24:43 3) Reason for non-compliance: “Then said he unto them, he that hath no sword let him sell his garment and buy one.” –Luke 22:36 4) Reason for non-compliance: “…if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” –1Timothy 5:8 5) Reason for non-compliance: “Disconcerting as many people may find the erosion of the Second Amendment guarantee; it is even more disturbing that five people have the power to decide whether United States citizens have the right to protect themselves and their families, to what degree, and with what weapons. The Supreme Court essentially ruled that Americans have the right to bear arms, but only until they say otherwise.” –Ted Weiland 6) Reason for non-compliance: “If the responsibility to keep and bear arms is God-given, no one except Yahweh himself has the right to withdraw it. If you are a Christian, and particularly if you are the head of your home, you were given the responsibility to keep and bear arms long before the United States Constitution was framed or ratified.” –Ted Weiland 7) Reason for non-compliance: “Jesus’ command agrees with Psalm 149:6-9. Note that Jesus did not tell his disciples to register their swords with the government.” –Ted Weiland 8) Reason for non-compliance: “Why do Christian men think they need the state to sanction self-defense or any other God-given responsibility? What Yahweh ordained and commanded does not require the state’s permission or license. If Yahweh’s commands need to be authorized or licensed by the state, then Yahweh becomes subservient to the state.” –Ted Weiland 9) Reason for non-compliance: “After first providing for your family’s spiritual safety, your next priority should be providing for your family’s physical protection. Providing food, clothing, and shelter is of little benefit if you are unprepared or unwilling to defend your family against thieves, rapists and murderers. It is not unchristian to practice self-defense. It is unchristian if you do not.” –Ted Weiland 10) Reason for non-compliance: “By employing the term assault weapons, the anti-gun lobby associates all gun owners with criminal intent. Yet, the vast majorities of gun owners are not criminals and have no intentions of assaulting anyone. They do not own assault weapons; instead, they have armed themselves with defense weapons.” –Ted Weiland There are ten good reasons for my non-compliance. There are many more Biblical references. Ted Weiland and other experts have more to say. But ten is enough. The question now is this: Will non-compliance make me guilty and punishable under the law? That depends on whether or not “the man” issues an executive order, edict, or whatever in violation of the Constitution. Remember this: Any action on the part of the Executive to infringe on my right to keep and bear arms must come with an Amendment to the Constitution. Otherwise it is unconstitutional and they cannot legally, under man’s law, enforce it. But remember what Mr. Weiland said. If man’s law is granting the right, then it can be made void by man. That is why my declaration of non-compliance is based on God’s law. Will being right with God’s law protect me from prosecution for non-compliance? The secular world we live in has made man’s law supreme. God and His law are often ignored. Abortion on a scale of infanticide is an example. We all know God judges it as evil. But the Supreme Court allows it. Where do you stand? God has created us with free will. We can choose to obey man and disobey God. “The man” in the Oval Office will spin it artfully. It will make his “Utopian Dream” followers swoon. They will say the man is doing something about those terrible “assault weapons.” But you are not a fool. You know that Utopia is beyond man’s grasp. You know that if we are faithful and obedient, the Lord will deliver us to His Utopia, in His time. You know the Utopian Dreamers and their god will lead us to an apocalypse, if we let them. Perhaps you should say it too. Go ahead; say it, “I will not comply.” There; you look like a patriot and a saint in your new, non-compliance.

Paying It Forward at Christmas and Always, One Act of Kindness at a Time

“Paying It Forward at Christmas and Always, One Act of Kindness at a Time” By John W. Whitehead “‘There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,’ returned the nephew. ‘Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!’”- Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol” Charles Dickens immortalized the money-loving, Christmas-hating, bah-humbuggiest of humbugs Ebenezer Scrooge in his classic “A Christmas Carol,” but the world has always been plagued by Scrooges and Grinches so single-minded in their pursuit of money, power and control that they exhibit few qualms about stamping out acts of kindness, compassion and true charity when they arise. This year has certainly been plagued with its fair share of Scrooges and Grinches disguised as government agents, threatening individuals with fines and arrest for such simple acts of kindness and charity as distributing free bottled water to the thirsty, giving away free food to the hungry and destitute, and making thermal shelters available to house the homeless during cold winter nights. The latest Scrooge to dampen the goodwill that this time of year tends to bring out in many people comes from Waynesboro, Virginia, where zoning officials have gone out of their way to shut down a Christmas tree farmer’s big-hearted efforts to raise money to buy wigs for cancer patients by giving away his Christmas trees in exchange for donations. For Christian Critzer, a Christmas tree farmer who lives with his wife and two children in Waynesboro, the Christmas tree donation drive was his way of paying it forward: a way to show his gratitude for his wife having recently won a battle with breast cancer and inspire hope in those still fighting their own battles and dealing with the aftermath of cancer. Using what he knows best- Christmas trees- Critzer focused his efforts on raising money for the “Fight Like a Girl” campaign at the Charlottesville, Va.-based Martha Jefferson hospital, a fund for cancer survivors to buy custom wigs as they recover from their long battles with cancer and chemotherapy. The donations are specifically intended to subsidize the purchase of people buying custom wigs while dealing with cancer treatment. As Critzer learned through his wife’s own battle with cancer from this time last year, wigs- often a necessity for women who’ve lost their hair because of chemotherapy treatments- aren’t covered by insurance. Using his front yard on a busy street as the staging ground, Critzer attempted to first sell the trees, with the hopes of giving the proceeds to the cancer fund. That all changed when Waynesboro zoning officials threatened Critzer with a citation for operating a commercial enterprise in a residentially zoned area. Determined to do his good deed, Critzer decided to give the trees away, asking a donation in return. “People are hurting,” said Critzer. “A free tree is a blessing. So we decided we’ll offer them for free. If people can afford a donation, that’s what we’ll give to the cancer center, and problem solved.” Unfortunately for the Christmas tree farmer, Waynesboro zoning officials didn’t agree and cited him for violating the city’s zoning ordinances. The Critzers live on Rosser Avenue, one of the busiest roads in Waynesboro, adjacent to big box stores like Walmart and Martins. According to Critzer, the big Martins sign shines its light through his window 24 hours a day, so it’s not as if his Christmas tree drive is bringing an unusual amount of traffic to the area. Nor does his little “tree lot” seem to be overly distracting. Around this time of year, lots of people tend to go all out, decking their houses and populating their front lawns with so many lights, holiday figurines and blow-ups as to start their own Christmas spectacular. In comparison, Critzer’s front lawn is almost stark, with little more than a string of lights, a small assortment of Christmas trees and a simple sign encouraging donations in exchange for the trees. Despite Critzer’s various attempts to find a solution that would allow him to keep the tree drive going, Waynesboro officials were adamant that he should shut it down, going so far as to threaten his landlord with fines and issuing a cease and desist order against Critzer. Not wanting to cause his landlord hardship, and not wanting to be a burden to his wife and two children, Christian took down the trees, the lights and the signs. His goal of raising $$1000 for the cancer fund remains unrealized and his hopes of paying it forward have been dashed. At least for this year, unless The Rutherford Institute, which has come to Critzer’s defense, can work their own Christmas miracle. Either way and to his credit, Critzer insists that next year, he’ll be back with 100 Christmas trees. So what’s the lesson to be learned here? Is it that no good deed goes unpunished? Certainly, in an age of bureaucracy and overcriminalization, it can seem that way. Is the problem, as Critzer suggests, that the government needs to revisit its priorities and focus on solving the real problems plaguing communities rather than creating problems where there are none? There’s definitely something to be said for that. “There’s a lot going on in this town that needs attention,” said Critzer. “I don’t think it’s my cancer charity.” Then there’s Charles Dickens’ reminder, offered up in A Christmas Carol, that it’s never too late to make things right in the world and try to be better people and, most importantly of all, pay your blessings forward. Whether you do it, as Critzer did, by raising money for a charity, or as Scrooge did it, by repenting of his greed, selfishness and bah humbuggery and looking out for those in need, the point, my friends, is to do it now before it’s too late, not just at Christmastime, but always. As Dickens writes, “And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!”

Medicaid Patents Get Short Sheeted

Medicaid Patents Get Short Sheeted (Before It's News) Sixteen states impose a monthly limit on the number of drugs Medicaid recipients can receive and seven states have either enacted such caps or tightened them in the past two years, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KHN is a program of the foundation). The limits vary across the country. Mississippi has a limit of two brand-name drugs. In Arkansas adults are limited to up six drugs a month. Since June, Alabama has had the nation’s stingiest Medicaid drug benefit after limiting adults to one brand-name drug. HIV and psychiatric drugs were excluded. On Aug. 1 the state will relax the limit to its previous level — four brand-name drugs — after the restriction saved more money than expected and the state received money as part of a settlement with a pharmaceutical company.

Nobamacare % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. (Before It's News) Nobamacare is a real possibility thanks to the Supreme Court Decision. If the states refuse to participate in key parts of is a real possibility thanks to the Supreme Court Decision. If the states refuse to participate in key parts of Obamacare the law quickly becomes Nobamacare . If any state declines to participate in the expansion, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could strip that state of 100% of its Medicaid dollars. Every voter in that state would continue funding Medicaid through payroll taxes twice a month, but now would be subsidizing the other 49 states. Rejecting the expansion would thus be a political death wish for any governor or legislature. This coercion is an unconstitutional violation of state sovereignty, so the Court struck down part of ObamaCare’s massive Medicaid expansion. ​By rejecting Medicaid expansion, millions will have to forego the “free” health care entitlement. ​Next , the states will need to refuse to create the exchanges. This forces HHS to establish them, paving the way for Nobamacare . But there are no tax subsidies if HHS runs an exchange, so no incentive for people to flock to the exchanges; they’d pay full price. While many high-risk individuals would do so, it would still be vastly more expensive. Many will instead choose to pay the penalty (tax?) for violating the individual mandate. Perhaps the rocket surgeons on Congress should have thought of that before writing this bill. Since HHS-run exchanges have no subsidies, for states refuseing to create exchanges, no employer in that state will be subject to that penalty. This means business owners will band together to lobby their state not to set up exchanges. This will create an unworkable patchwork nationwide, between states with semi-socialized medicine and healthcare costs spiraling out of control, versus those with private-sector medicine. Expect doctors, insurers, and providers to flock to these friendlier states, creating an increasingly unbalanced system. Then ObamaCare will start coming apart at the seams, and momentum will build to repeal and replace. ​Sounds like a plan to turn Obamacare in to Nobamacare . ​I like it.

Tell Tyson To Stop Torturing Pigs (PETITION)

For three weeks I lived a lie to expose the truth while working undercover at a Tyson hog factory farm in Oklahoma. What I saw was a living nightmare. Thousands of pregnant pigs spent nearly their entire lives crammed into cages so small they could barely move. They couldn’t turn around, walk or even lie down comfortably. I saw pigs with open wounds and bloody pressure sores from rubbing against the bars of their metal cages or lying on hard concrete. Pigs would constantly ram their heads against their tiny stalls or spend hour after hour, day after day, biting the bars of their cages out of frustration. These intelligent and social animals were literally driven mad in these hellish conditions. I also saw workers violently slamming piglets headfirst into the concrete and leaving them to suffer and slowly die. Some of the piglets were spiked against the ground like footballs. I found one piglet still conscious and breathing in a pile of dead piglets. Nobody bothered to make sure she was dead before just throwing her away. Piglets had their tails cut off and their testicles ripped out of their bodies without any painkillers. Sick and injured pigs with severe, bleeding wounds or infections were left to languish without veterinary care. I saw workers gouge the eyes of pigs, violently hit them with wooden boards, and in one case, even throw a heavy bowling ball at a pig’s head. Such sadistic cruelty was widespread at this Tyson factory farm. While this brutality and neglect is shocking, I think the worst abuse these animals endure is being immobilized in tiny, maggot-infested gestation crates. Animal welfare experts around the world agree that these crates are inherently cruel and should be phased out. In fact, gestation crates are so cruel they have been banned in nine U.S. states, as well as in the entire European Union. Responding to consumer concerns, nearly every major food provider in the country, including McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Chipotle, Safeway, Kroger, Kmart and Costco, have demanded their suppliers do away with these cruel crates. Major pork producers, such as Smithfield and Hormel, have committed to phasing out gestation crates, and Cargill is already 50 percent crate-free. But not Tyson. Tyson continues to torture pigs by cramming them in cages barely larger than their own bodies for nearly their entire lives. Please, help me put a stop to this. Take a moment to sign my petition urging Tyson to end one of the cruelest factory farming practices by committing to phasing out gestation crates. Thank you. “Pete” Undercover Investigator By MERCY FOR ANIMALS West Hollywood, California
