Delta has managed to figure out a way to do it and do it well. Momma always said be the best at whatever you do....I guess the owner of Delta listened to his. Funny how WE [the USA] can let anybody and their momma, cousins and uncle into out country and ALLOW them to become citizens with little to no restrictions, and yet Americans are not permitted into Arabia unless they abide by certain stipulations. What's even more crazy is the fact that Delta is going for this hot mess. Discrimination of ANY kind is wrong, not that we aren't subjected to it more than I'd like to mention, but this is outright WRONG! No Jews allowed??? And Christians don't think you're exempt...they're taking Holy Bibles and tossing them too. Now what'chu gon do???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/delta-airlines-adopts-policy-restricting-jews-israelis-to-saudi-arabia/1d2abzck6?src=v5:share:blogger:&amp;amp;from=sharepermalink-blogger"&gt;Click Here To Watch The MSN video: Delta Airlines Adopts Policy Restricting Jews, Israelis to Saudi Arabia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click "Read More" to check out the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;By Michele Chabin&lt;br /&gt;Religion News Service&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JERUSALEM (RNS) Jews and Israelis, or passengers carrying any  non-Islamic article of faith, will not be able to fly code-share flights  from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia under Delta Air Line's new partnership  with Saudi Arabian Airlines that is set to begin in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Delta announced in January that the Saudi airline would join  its SkyTeam network next year, the implications of the deal only came to  light recently, according to people who have scrutinized the details.&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia, which is governed by strict Islamic law, requires citizens  of almost every country to obtain a visa. People who wish to enter the  country must have a sponsor; women, who must be dressed according to  Saudi standards of modesty, must be met at the Saudi airport by a man  who will act as a chaperone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia bans anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport from  entering the country, even in transit. Many Jews believe the kingdom has  also withheld visas from travelers with Jewish-sounding names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religious items such as Bibles that are not related to Islam may be confiscated at the airport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colby M. May, senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice,  a conservative legal group founded by religious broadcaster Pat  Robertson, said his office is trying to determine if the agreement runs  afoul of U.S. law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The very idea that there is a common carrier airline service that would  deny an American citizen in America access to their services because  they are Jewish or have religious items such as a yarmulke, a cross or a  priestly collar, is deeply disturbing," May said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May said he is "trying to get answers" from Delta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They have not responded in a way that answers the question," he said. "Hopefully they'll do so."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a statement to Religion News Service on Thursday (June 23), Delta  said it "does not discriminate, nor do we condone discrimination against  any protected class of passenger in regards to age, race, nationality,  religion, or gender."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The airline, which did not deny the new policy, insisted that it has no control over who may fly to Saudi Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Delta must also comply with all applicable laws in every country it  serves," adding that passengers are responsible for obtaining the  necessary travel documents required for entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If a passenger travels without proper documents, the passenger may be  denied entry into that country and our airline may be fined," the  statement said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jan. 10 agreement allows Saudi Arabian Airlines to become a member  of SkyTeam in 2012 after "fulfilling all membership requirements,"  according to a SkyTeam statement. The Saudi airline is SkyTeam's first member from the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The policy has deeply angered U.S. Jewish groups, especially since Delta is an American carrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, should be strongly condemned for its  despicable discrimination against Jews," said Kenneth Bandler, a  spokesman for the New York-based American Jewish Committee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For an American company, our nation's values should trump narrow  business interests. Delta should be the first to reject Saudi airlines  as a SkyTeam member."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan Diker, secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, said he hoped  "Delta will not be complicit with what appears to be a demonstrably  anti-Semitic and racist policy by Saudi Arabian Airlines."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jack Jenkins contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-426923286401795030?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/426923286401795030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=426923286401795030&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/426923286401795030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/426923286401795030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2011/06/us-jews-not-able-to-fly-on-delta.html' title='U.S. Jews Not Able To Fly On Delta Flights To Saudi Arabia'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gv9KBY1lI6s/TgSC1-3TIQI/AAAAAAAAAYo/bmEBcUHNa3Y/s72-c/r-DELTA-AIRLINES-large570.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-2291045749933300899</id><published>2011-05-06T00:50:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-06T00:52:04.131-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Just so you know'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bin Laden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Osama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lies'/><title type='text'>US Government now changing story about Bin Laden death repeatedly.

First he was armed....then he wasn't. They said he used one of his wives as a human shield, then he didn't. They said there was a fire fight and he was killed in battle....a 40 minute battle at that... then they said Navy Seals had him in custody and shot him. They told us that Osama was living in a CAVE in Afghanistan, yet when they kill him he's living in a MANSION in Abbotidod, or what's to be considered a mansion over there. Doesn't it seem ODD to you that IF Obama had all these pictures and video of the incident and he LOOKED at everything, wouldn't they at least know how it happened??? I mean, wouldn't all this live feed VIDEO Obama was "SUPPOSEDLY" watching at least give clear detail as to how everything went down???&amp;nbsp; Which really does lead one to question a whole lot of things about this incident....and it SHOULD! Ask questions and if it doesn't sound right then it usually ain't!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;You'll find more lies that were discovered below.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;YOU BE THE JUDGE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a difference a day makes. &lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Yesterday:&lt;/span&gt; Obama administration  officials said an armed Osama bin Laden was shot and killed in a  firefight while using one of his wives as a human shield. The wife, we  were told, was also killed in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: yellow;"&gt;Today:&lt;/span&gt; Maybe bin Laden wasn't armed. Or using the woman as a human  shield. And, well, she wasn't actually his wife. Also, um, she didn't  die. But aside from that...&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/white-house-corrects-bin-laden-narrative/?hp"&gt; The New York Times&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The new Defense Department narrative released by the White House, and  read at a White House news briefing on Tuesday, said that one of Bin  Laden’s wives was shot in the leg as she charged members of the commando  team on the third floor of the compound. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“In the room with Bin Laden, a woman – Bin Laden’s wife – rushed the  U.S. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed,” the brief  statement said. “Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, read the narrative in an  attempt to correct statements by administration officials who  had&amp;nbsp;suggested that Bin Laden was armed during the raid. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Under questioning, Mr. Carney said that the White House stood by its  claim on Monday that Bin Laden had resisted capture, but said that  “resistance does not require a firearm.” Mr. Carney said that the new  narrative was the result of “fresh” information. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;...On Monday,&amp;nbsp;John O. Brennan, the top counterterrorism adviser  to&amp;nbsp;President Obama, said he believed that Bin Laden’s wife had been  killed while trying to shield the terror leader during the 40-minute  raid. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But the narrative released Tuesday by Mr. Carney suggested that the  woman who died in the raid was part of another family living at the  compound. The narrative says that woman was shot and killed on the first  floor, not the third floor, where Bin Laden was found and killed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Let's assume, for the moment, that no bad faith was involved in the  initial transmission of these unfortunate untruths, and that it was all a  result of a misunderstanding, not a deliberate plan to spread a  convenient story about bin Laden dying a particularly pathetic death. As  anyone who's ever played a game of telephone knows, it's tough enough  to get a bunch of people sitting in a room next to each other to keep a  story straight; in the fog of kinetic military action, it's surely even  tougher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's the point: This sort of revision should be a reminder to  anyone tempted to take the official story at face value before it's been  independently reported and verified. It's easy to ignore the fact that  the vast majority of the details reported about the raid came via the  usually-talking-point-filled mouths of administration sources, not from  firsthand accounts, independent reports, or documentation. All we know  is what various senior officials &lt;i&gt;said&lt;/i&gt; happened, not what &lt;i&gt;actually&lt;/i&gt;  happened. This is why it would be helpful for the administration to  release documentation—images, video, audio, whatever—that can verify the  official account of the raid. But so far, they're not even saying  exactly how Obama and other White House officials tracked the  operation's progress, only that they followed along in real time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The administration deserves a small amount of credit for willingly  issuing what amounts to an embarrassing correction—but only a small  amount. If you're going to stand in front of the world as senior  representatives of the United States government and confidently assert  that some historic event happened in some particular way, then you'd  better be certain you've got your story straight. By failing to get  basic who, what, and where information right the first time around, the  administration has undermined its own credibility on what ought to have  been a straightforward victory and arguably made it easier for the  inevitable conspiracy theories to spread. Good for them for correcting  their mistakes. But they should've gotten it right the first time  around.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-2291045749933300899?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/2291045749933300899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=2291045749933300899&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/2291045749933300899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/2291045749933300899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2011/05/pay-attention-to-how-details-of-story.html' title='US Government now changing story about Bin Laden death repeatedly.

Praise be to  Allah, Who is the creator of the whole universe and Who made the Earth  as an abode for peace for the whole of humankind. Allah is the  Sustainer, who sent the Prophet Muhammad for our guidance. I am thankful  to Ummat Publications for giving me the opportunity to convey my  viewpoint to the people, particularly the valiant and Momin [true  Muslim] people of Pakistan who refused to believe the lies of the demon  [Pakistani military dictator General Pervez Musharraf].&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I have already said that I am not  involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I  try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these  attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and  other human beings as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing  harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is  forbidden even in the course of battle. It is the United States which is  perpetrating every sort of maltreatment on women, children and common  people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that  has been going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to  invoke the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel. There is also  a warning for those Muslim countries that witnessed all of this as  silent spectators. What had earlier been done to the innocent people of  Iraq, Chechnya and Bosnia?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Only one conclusion could be derived from the  indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror  and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers, namely that America is  an anti-Islamic power and is patronizing anti-Islamic forces. Its  friendship with the Muslim countries is just show, or rather deceit. By  enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is forcing  them to play a role of its choice. Cast a glance around and you will see  that the slaves of the United States are either rulers or enemies of  Muslims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The US has no friends, nor does it want  any because the prerequisite of friendship is to come to the level of  the friend or consider him on par with yourself. America does not want  to see anyone equal to it. It expects slavery from others. Therefore,  other countries are either its slaves or its subordinates. However, our  case is different. We have pledged slavery to God Almighty alone and  after this pledge there is no possibility of becoming someone else's  slave. If we did that it would be disregardful both to our Sustainer and  to his fellow beings. Most of the nations of the world who are  upholding their freedom are the religious ones, which are the enemies of  the United States, or which the US itself considers to be its enemies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The countries which do not agree to  become US slaves are China, Iran, Libya, Cuba, Syria [Afghanistan,  Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Sudan, Indonesia, Malaysia] and Russia.  Whoever committed the act of September 11 are not the friends of the  American people. I have already said that we are against the American  system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, common  American people have been killed. According to my information, the death  toll is much higher than what the US Government has stated. But the  Bush administration does not want the panic to spread. The United States  should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself;  the people who are a part of the US system but are dissenting against  it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to  make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and  Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or  ideology can survive. They may be anyone, from Russia to Israel and from  India to Serbia. In the US itself, there are dozens of well-organized  and well-equipped groups capable of causing large-scale destruction.  Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who have been annoyed with  President Bush ever since the Florida elections and who want to avenge  him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Then there are intelligence agencies in  the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from Congress  and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big  problem until the existence of the ex-Soviet Union but after that the  budget of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So,  they first started propaganda against Osama and the Talibans and then  this incident happened. You see, the Bush Administration approved a  budget of 40 billion dollars. Where will this huge amount go? It will be  provided to the same agencies which need huge funds and want to exert  their importance. Now they will spend the money for their expansion and  to increase their importance. I will give you an example. Drug smugglers  from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies.  These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and  trafficking because their importance would be diminished. The people in  the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade in order  to show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General  Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a  scapegoat. In the same way, whether it is President Bush or any other US  President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights  abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it  not that there exists a government within the government in the United  Sates? That secret government must be asked who carried out the attacks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:  A number of countries have joined the call of the United States to  launch attacks on Afghanistan. These also include a number of Muslim  countries. Will Al-Qaeda declare a jihad against these Islamic countries  too?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  I must say that my duty is just to awaken the Muslims; to tell them  what  is good for them and what is not, what Islam says and what the  enemies of Islam  want. Al-Qaeda was set up to wage a jihad against  infidelity, particularly to  counter the onslaught of the infidel  countries against the Islamic states. Jihad  is the sixth undeclared  pillar of Islam. [The first five being the basic holy  words of Islam:  that there is only one God in the entire universe and that  Muhammad is  the last Prophet of God; prayers; fast; pilgrimage to Mecca; and giving   alms.] Every anti-Islamic person is afraid of the jihad. Al-Qaeda wants  to keep  the jihad alive and active and make it a part of the daily  life of the Muslims. It  wants to give it the status of worship. We are  not against any Islamic  country. We do not consider a war against an  Islamic country to be a jihad. We are in  favour of an armed jihad only  against those infidel governments that are killing  innocent Muslim men,  women and children just because they are Muslims. Supporting  the US  act is the need of some Muslim countries and the compulsion of  others.  However, they should think about what will remain of their religious and   moral position if they support the attack of the Christians and Jews  on a  Muslim country like Afghanistan. The orders of Islamic Shariah  [jurisprudence]  for such individuals, organizations and countries are  clear and all the scholars  of the Muslim brotherhood are unanimous  about them. We will do the same, which  is being ordered by the  Ameer-ul-Momeneen [the commander of the faithful Afghans] Muhammad Omar  and the Islamic scholars. The hearts of the people of  Muslim countries  are beating with the call of jihad. We are grateful to them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:  The losses caused in the attacks in New York and Washington have proved  that giving an economic blow to the US is not too difficult. US experts  admit that a few more such attacks could bring down the American  economy. Why is Al-Qaeda not targeting their economic pillars?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We  are against the [US Government] system, which makes other nations slaves  of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and  economic freedom. This system is totally under the control of  American-Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It  is clear that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews  and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid down  by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel,  which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the US is not  uttering a single word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;Why  is harm not caused to the enemies of Islam through other means, apart  from the armed struggle? For instance, urging the Muslims to boycott  Western products, banks, shipping lines and TV channels.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sW8IxP98_RE/TcN0YKWwBaI/AAAAAAAAAWE/vHbKtd5Dl64/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sW8IxP98_RE/TcN0YKWwBaI/AAAAAAAAAWE/vHbKtd5Dl64/s1600/index.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  The first thing is that Western products could only be boycotted when  the Muslim fraternity is fully awakened and organized. Secondly, the  Muslim companies should become self-sufficient in producing goods equal  to the products of Western companies. Economic boycot of the West is not  possible unless economic self-sufficiency is attained and substitute  products are brought out. You see that wealth is scattered all across  the Muslim World but not a single TV channel has been acquired which can  preach Islamic injunctions according to modern requirements and attain  an international influence. Muslim traders and philanthropists should  make it a point that if the weapon of public opinion is to be used, it  is to be kept in the hand. Today's world is of public opinion and the  fates of nations are determined through its pressure. Once the tools for  building public opinion are obtained, everything that you asked for can  be done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;The  entire propaganda about your struggle has so far been made by the  Western media. But no information is being received from your sources  about the network of Al-Qaeda and its jihad successes. Would you like to  comment on this?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  In fact, the Western media is left with nothing else. It has no other  theme to survive for a long time. Then we have many other things to do.  The struggle for jihad and the successes are for the sake of Allah and  not to annoy His bondsmen. Our silence is our real propaganda.  Rejections, explanations, or corrigendum only waste your time and  through them, the enemy wants you to engage in things which are not of  use to you. These things are pulling you away from your cause. The  Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us  surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they  themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it  and begin to cause harm to themselves. Terror is the most dreaded weapon  in the modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against  its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the  people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies  of the United States cannot do, its media is doing for them. You can  understand what will be the performance in war of a nation that suffers  from fear and helplessness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;What will be the impact of the freezing of Al-Qaeda's accounts by the US?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  God opens up ways for those who work for Him. Freezing accounts will  not make any difference for Al-Qaeda or other jihad groups. With the  grace of Allah, Al-Qaeda has more than three alternative financial  systems, which are all separate and totally independent from each other.  This system is operating under the patronage of those who love jihad.  What can we say about the United States when not even the world combined  can budge these people from their path? These people are not hundreds  but thousands and millions. Al-Qaeda comprises modern educated youths  who are as aware of the cracks inside the Western financial system as  they are aware of the lines in the palms of their hands. These are the  very flaws of the Western fiscal system, which are becoming a noose for  it and this system could not recuperate despite the passage of so many  days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;Are there any safe areas other than Afghanistan, where you can continue jihad?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  There are areas in all parts of the world where strong jihadi forces  are present, from Indonesia to Algeria, from Kabul to Chechnya, from  Bosnia to Sudan, and from Burma to Kashmir. Then it is not the problem  of my person. I am a helpless fellowman of God, constantly in the fear  of my accountability before God. It is not the question of Osama but of  Islam and, in Islam too, of jihad. Thanks to God, those waging a jihad  can walk today with their heads raised. Jihad existed when there was no  Osama and it will continue to exist even when Osama is no longer here.  Allah opens up ways and creates love in the hearts of people for those  who walk on the path of Allah with their lives, property and children.  Believe it, through jihad, a man gets everything he desires. And the  biggest desire of a Muslim is the life after death. Martyrdom is the  shortest way of attaining an eternal life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daily Ummat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;What do you have to say about the Pakistani Government policy regarding the attack on Afghanistan?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bin Laden&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  We are thankful to the Momin and valiant people of Pakistan who erected  a blockade before the evil forces and stood in the first line of  battle. Pakistan is a great hope for the Islamic brotherhood. Its people  are awakened, organized and rich in the spirit of faith. They backed  Afghanistan in its war against the Soviet Union and extended all its  help to the Mojahedin and Afghan people. Then these are the very  Pakistanis who are standing shoulder to shoulder with the Taliban. If  such people emerged in just two countries, the domination of the West  would diminish in a matter of days. Our hearts beat with Pakistan and,  God forbid, if a difficult time comes we will protect it with our blood.  Pakistan is as sacred for us as a place of worship. We are the people  of jihad and fighting for the defense of Pakistan is the best of all  jihads to us. It does not matter for us as to who reforms Pakistan.

All they had to do at Fox was get a few scientists to go on the air during a breaking news report and say they have scientifically proven that eating human feces once or twice a week would cure most health problems and I was SURE there'd be some people who would rush to the store to stock up on glad sandwich bags and jelly jars in order to stock pile their new found cure to ANYTHING that ails them. I've used this senerio a million times as an example to show how much people believe everything they see and hear on the news.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Well guess what!!! Excuse my language but this shit is TRUE!! And guess who's promoting it....some Scientist! And guess who reported the story....FOX NEWS!!!! But they've even taken it a step further. Where I said they'd tell you to eat your own poo, they're saying you have to eat other people's! LOL And I did say that people would probably be trying to figure out a way to sell it, but I was only joking......REALLY! LOL Can you see people standing on the street corners with pre packaged bags of feces hollering to passersby by...."Yo, you'll love the shit I got, it'll cure everything! I got that Good shit! Yo come check this shit out!" LOL!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;It's crazy I know, and when I used it as an example I was trying to be as far feathered as I could for effect, who KNEW they would try this shit for real????&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;I know it's hard to believe so I've copied and pasted the story here along with a link to PROVE it was actually reported on Fox News. I guess the old saying "eat shit and die" is loooong gone. LOL Who KNEW???? Really, who knew it would actually come to this? LOL Aye if you're grossed out, don't blame me, blame those scientists along with Fox News! I always TOLD ya'll they were no damn good!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Here's the story....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 class="entry-title" id="article-title" style="color: orange;"&gt;Scientists Treat Hospital Infection With 'Fecal Transplant'&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 class="entry-title" id="article-title" style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/19/scientists-perform-fecal-transplant-treat-hospital-infection/" linkindex="24"&gt;[Source] &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Once a year, every year, Professor Thomas  Borody receives a single-stem rose from one of his most grateful  patients.

Others  have more sciencey names like "bacteriotherapy" or "stool infusion  therapy." But the process involves, frankly, replacing a person's poo  with someone else's, and in the process, giving them back the "good"  bugs they desperately need.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Borody's grateful patient, Coralie Muddell, suffered months of chronic &lt;a class="r_lapi" href="http://www.foxnews.com/topics/health/diseases/diarrhea.htm#r_src=ramp" linkindex="25"&gt;diarrhea&lt;/a&gt; so bad she would often embarrass herself in public, and had even stopped eating to try to halt the flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The technique that cured her has had a  success rate of around 90 percent in the experimental cases where it has  been used so far. Now scientists are taking it to the next level, with  randomized controlled trials to establish if it can really be a viable  option when antibiotics have failed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;With rates of hospital-acquired C.difficile  infection rising in the United States, Europe and other parts of the  world, that could save lives as well as reducing expensive days of extra  care. "There's rising recognition of how effective this is," Borody, a  Sydney-based gastroenterologist, told Reuters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;YUCK FACTOR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;There's little doubt this treatment has an  image problem. Feces, including important bowel flora, is transferred  from a volunteer donor – screened to limit possible other infections –  into the colon of the infected patient.&lt;b&gt; The treatment can be  administered by a colonoscope or an enema, or by the mouth or the nose.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;"I used to be frowned upon and called 'the  doctor who makes people eat s---'," says Borody, whose scientific papers  have included such titles as "Flora Power" and "Toying with Human  Motions."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;But he is also deadly serious. One of his  published studies reported that in patients with recurrent C.difficile  infection, 60 out of 67 – 90 percent – of those who received fecal  transplants were cured.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Alex Khoruts, a gastroenterologist at the  University of Minnesota Medical School in the United States, agrees that  the science is not to be sniffed at. "The data are very strong," he  said in a telephone interview. &lt;b&gt;"There is no question that it works."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Khoruts published a study in the Journal of  Clinical Gastroenterology in 2009 that showed a single infusion of feces  reversed the absence of bacteroides – a group of bacteria vital to the  body's ability to withstand infections with C.difficile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Khoruts often sees patients who have taken  course after course of antibiotics. As soon as the treatment stops, the  infection returns. It doesn't take much for these sufferers to listen to  a new treatment idea, even if it involves feces.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;"The patients I see don't have any qualms  about it," he says. "By the time I see them, they've often been sick for  anywhere from six months to two years, so they're quite desperate.  Nothing really scares them."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The main aim, he says, is to keep the poo pure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;"What we try to do is preserve it as close  as possible to how it was in the donor. There's no in-between culture or  enrichment. We want to transfer as much as we can intact."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The donor feces is filtered to remove some  larger particles and then "simply goes through a blender," says Khoruts,  with a saline solution to liquefy it before it is administered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;He favors methods which avoid going in through the mouth or the nose, which he says may make patients gag.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Borody's clinic, at the Center for Digestive  Diseases in New South Wales, acknowledges that using a nasojejunal tube  – which goes in through the nose, down the throat and into the stomach –  is not the most attractive method, but argues it is the most reliable  way of killing the C.difficile bug and its spores once and for all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;C. DIFFICILE ON THE RISE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Repellent as fecal transplants may seem, if C.difficile trends continue, demand could rise rapidly.&lt;br /&gt;A Europe-wide study published in The Lancet late last year found the  incidence of C.difficile infections in hospitals in the region had risen  to 4.1 per 10,000 patient days in 2008 from 2.45 per 10,000 patient  days in 2005.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The infections can have a range of consequences, from severe diarrhea to blood poisoning, colitis and death.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 2008 report from the Association for  Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) found that on  any single day in U.S. hospitals, there could be 7,000 infections with  C.difficile and up to 300 deaths.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The most commonly used antibiotic for  C.difficile is metronidazole, and some more severe forms are treated  with vancomycin, traditionally seen as the antibiotic of last resort.  Like other bacteria, C.difficile can develop resistance to vancomycin,  giving it "superbug" or multi-drug-resistant traits that make treatment  extremely difficult or impossible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Khoruts cites data from 1958, when some of  the first scientific papers on the use of fecal transplants were  published. That showed the death rate for patients with a type of  infection called fulminant C.difficile colitis was 75 percent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;"Then if you go forward to 2010 – 52 years  later, with the best current medical care and new antibiotics – the  mortality is still 50 percent," he says. "So we really can't say  standard medicine has done that well in 50 years."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"POO IS THE ONLY ANSWER"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Khoruts now fears that unless the medical  establishment embraces the technique, "the majority of people who could  benefit from this procedure are not going to get it." Borody says "poo  is the only answer." So why is it not catching on?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Scientific literature over half a century  has documented the use of fecal transplants, but the technique has  remained on the fringes of medicine. Some experts say a lack of robust  trial data may be holding people back – as well as the obvious and  natural aversion to feces as a medicinal product.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;To try to address this, a team of  specialists in The Netherlands is recruiting around 100 sick and healthy  people into a randomized controlled trial – considered the gold  standard in science – to see if the method can be proven.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Although the study is still under way, Ed  Kuijper of the Leiden University Medical Center, one of those working on  it, says the early signs are that fecal transplants will be shown to be  effective in patients with recurrent, or relapsing C.difficile  infections.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Tackling the image problem is more  challenging; but both Khoruts and Kuijper say scientists are "not very  far away" from being able develop a kind of artificial feces that might  help.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;This laboratory-grown poo would be like a  super pro-biotic, they say, but more powerful by far than any yoghurt  drink you can buy in a supermarket. It would have the qualities of donor  poo without the marketing issues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: orange; font-size: 14px;"&gt;"It would be a good idea if synthetic poo  would work," says Borody. But he has doubts – and until he sees some  good results with artificial feces, he's sticking with the real thing.  "We'd like to get away from poo, but it works the best."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/19/scientists-perform-fecal-transplant-treat-hospital-infection/#ixzz1BBCUwFlD" linkindex="26" style="color: #003399;"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/19/scientists-perform-fecal-transplant-treat-hospital-infection/#ixzz1BBCUwFlD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-1331676379473688949?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/1331676379473688949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=1331676379473688949&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1331676379473688949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1331676379473688949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2011/02/scientists-treat-hospital-infection.html' title='Scientists Treat Hospital Infection With &apos;Fecal Transplant&apos;'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-1307485701499196925</id><published>2011-01-04T23:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-04T23:45:16.497-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In The News'/><title type='text'>More Dead Birds.

Discussing the second “occurrence” (does that put anyone else in mind of an M. Night Shyamalan-type film?) in Pointe Coupee Parish, State Wildlife Veterinarian Jim LaCour said the happenstance of birds dropping from skies en masse hundreds miles away from one another was (although creepy as a motherbitch) documented:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Underlying disease, starvation and cold fronts where birds can’t get their body heat up” have caused similar occurrences “in various species over the years,” he said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A “loud noise,” possibly from holiday fireworks, was initially blamed for the mass deaths, but it is unclear if such an event would affect the second set of birds as well as the estimated 80-100,000 dead fish. Necropsies performed on the first set of dead birds indicated at least some died of “deadly blood clots.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-1307485701499196925?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/1307485701499196925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=1307485701499196925&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1307485701499196925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1307485701499196925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-dead-birds-this-time-in-louisiana.html' title='More Dead Birds.

The birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that "&lt;b style="color: yellow;"&gt;the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail&lt;/b&gt;."

Spiller, director of the Kentucky Regional  Poison Center in Louisville, said Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These are experienced drug users ... There's a lot of things they'll  suffer for the drug high they're looking for," Spiller said. "Even  these people are coming into the emergency room. Even they can't handle  these fairly nasty effects."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan said users describe the drugs as many times more potent than  Ritalin or cocaine. Spiller said several people had tried to kill  themselves, and others attacked friends or &lt;a class="iAs" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40797021/ns/health-addictions/#" style="background-color: transparent ! important; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0.075em solid darkgreen ! important; color: darkgreen ! important; font-size: 100% ! important; font-weight: normal ! important; padding-bottom: 1px ! important; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank"&gt;family&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Julie Sanders, an emergency room doctor in Covington, said her  stepson, 21-year-old Dickie Sanders, shot and killed himself three days  after sniffing "Cloud 9" — one of the names under which MDPV, short for  methylenedioxypyrovalerone (METH-uh-leen-di-OX-ee-PY-ro-VAL-uh-rone), is  sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said he felt so ill and paranoid the first morning that he repeatedly called his &lt;a class="iAs" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40797021/ns/health-addictions/#" style="background-color: transparent ! important; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0.075em solid darkgreen ! important; color: darkgreen ! important; font-size: 100% ! important; font-weight: normal ! important; padding-bottom: 1px ! important; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank"&gt;father&lt;/a&gt;,  family physician Richard J. Sanders, telling him how he was feeling and  what he'd taken. The drug kept him awake and paranoid for three nights,  she said. The last night he hallucinated that their house was  surrounded by police helicopters and dozens of police cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The coroner is investigating a possible suicide but has not  officially ruled on it, said Capt. George Bonnett of the St. Tammany  Parish Sheriff's Office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan said poison centers around the country have gotten 160 calls —  91 of them in Louisiana — about problems from mephedrone (MEF-uh-drone)  and MDPV.&lt;br /&gt;The drugs have been sold over the Internet and on the street, in  headshops and in convenience, gas station and truck stop stores, said  Ryan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiller, who bought some for analysis, said they cost $40 for about two-hundredths of an ounce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You and I know that Bath and Body Works would make a fortune if that's what they charged for real bath salts," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dickie Sanders was in the drug court system after being caught with  marijuana, Sanders said. She said he'd passed all his drug tests and  attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for some six months. Someone else  convicted in drug court sold him Cloud 9, saying, "You can try this  stuff and it won't show up on a drug screen."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sanders said her stepdaughter bought Cloud 9 at a gas station where the clerk had it under the counter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was like a sugar or sweetener packet. When you feel it, it feels  like only a few granules," she said. "There's no way it's a true bath  salt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan said the marketing is similar to that for the synthetic  marijuana called "spice" or "K2," Ryan said. "It was being marketed as  potpourri and incense. It was neither. It was meant to be smoked."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is an emerging health threat that needs to be taken seriously,"  Alvin C. Bronstein, medical director of the Rocky Mountain Poison and  Drug Center and acting director of toxicosurveillance for the American  Association of Poison Control Centers, said in a news release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'A really bad trip' &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan said other state poison centers have had a total of 69  calls about the drugs as of midday Wednesday: 19 in Kentucky, 13 in  Florida, 12 in Mississippi, 10 in Missouri, six each in Tennessee and  Texas, and four in Utah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Many of the people who came in described this as a really bad trip," Ryan said.

Now the regulators take over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a bold move, the Federal Communications Commission asserted its authority over the Internet Tuesday (Dec. 21), passing a controversial net neutrality order to make sure the Internet stays free and open. It’s the first time the FCC has adopted enforceable rules to regulate the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vote followed party lines with the two Republican commissioners, Robert McDowell and Meredith Atwell Baker, dissenting in lengthy point-by-point statements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The order will put in place three rules crafted to reflect the way the Internet operates now, the FCC said. The first rule deals with ensuring transparency of Internet services, requiring fixed and wireless services to describe their network management practices. Rule No. 2 is a no-blocking rule. Fixed and wireless Internet services cannot block lawful content, applications or services. The third rule applies to fixed Internet services and prohibits Internet services from discriminating against any lawful content or giving preferential treatment to certain content. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet services will be allowed to manage their networks to deal with congestion and security and use tiered pricing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This order is about preserving the freedom and openness of the Internet that has worked for so many years," said FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. "It's a good day for innovators, for consumers and for the future of the Internet."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourteen months in the making, the order Tuesday was an alternative to previous attempts by the FCC to become the Internet's regulating body. Earlier this year, a D.C. Circuit Court ruled that the FCC lacked the authority to regulate the Internet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of the FCC's authority is perhaps the main sticking point of opponents to today's order, which included the two Republican commissioners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Instead of acting as a cop on the beat, the FCC looks more like a regulatory vigilante," said commissioner Robert McDowell. "The FCC has provocatively charged on a collision course with the legislative branch. Not only is this the darkest day of the year, but it marks one of the darkest days in the FCC's recent history," he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both McDowell and Baker, who complained they didn't see the final order until after 11:30 p.m. on Monday, predicted the order would be tested in court. Both Verizon and AT&amp;amp;T are considering filing suit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The backlash from Congress came within hours after the FCC concluded its meeting. Incoming chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), along with Energy and Commerce Subcommittee chairs Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) and Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.), and Energy and Commerce member Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) held a press conference outlining their next steps to reverse the FCC's order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is going to be no stone left unturned," said Upton, who cited three avenues to overturn the order: the use of the Congressional Review Act, new legislation and defunding. "We believe the commission overstepped their bounds and we intend to put a bridle on them and rein them in."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Net neutrality could be the first hearing for the Energy and Commerce Committee under Republican leadership. "This will be the first hearing out of the box," vowed Walden. "We're troubled by the FCC's process and the policy. More troubling are the legal theories that underpin [the order]. We see this as a power grab by the FCC."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Democratic side, a number of Congressional leaders threw support behind the FCC including Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), whose draft legislation was the basis for the FCC's order, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-3468706998016203642?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/3468706998016203642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=3468706998016203642&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/3468706998016203642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/3468706998016203642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/12/fcc-passes-net-neutrality-order.html' title='FCC Passes Net Neutrality Order'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-2510784484433361567</id><published>2010-12-26T17:02:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-26T17:02:05.947-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Information You Should Know'/><title type='text'>More body scanners are coming to an airport near you</title><content type='html'>By Derek Kravitz&lt;br /&gt;Washington Post Staff Writer&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, December 26, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full-body scanners in use at 78 U.S. airports can detect small amounts of contraband and hidden weapons, all while producing &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/12/AR2010111206580.html?nav=emailpage" linkindex="376"&gt;controversial images of travelers&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "good catches," federal officials say, have largely gone unnoticed amid the criticism that erupted over the ghostly X-rays and "enhanced" pat-downs. The &lt;a href="http://www.tsa.gov/" linkindex="377"&gt;Transportation Security Administration&lt;/a&gt;, which intensified airport screening last month, points to several successes: small amounts of marijuana wrapped in baggies, other drugs stitched inside underwear, ceramic knives concealed in shirt pockets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the machines could miss something far more deadly: explosive material taped to someone's abdomen or hidden inside a cavity. Researchers and security experts question the technology's ability to detect chemical explosives that are odorless, far smaller than previous incarnations, and easily molded to fool machines and security screeners into thinking they are part of the human body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government testing, which has been mostly classified because of security concerns, has also raised concerns about the effectiveness of the full-body scanners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based partly on early successes, federal officials are planning to continue an unprecedented roll-out of the technology over the next year. By New Year's Day, about 500 machines will be in use across the country, including at the Washington area's three major airports. By the end of next year, 1,000 X-ray machines will be operational, accounting for roughly half of the nation's 2,000 lanes of security checkpoints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the United States' lead, several nations have begun to test or install&lt;br /&gt;full-body scanners, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United Kingdom. U.S. officials have also considered whether the machines could be used to enhance security at passenger rail stations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal officials say the scanners represent the best technology that has passed both lab and field tests. But as with reading an X-ray, training is the most important factor in making sure that TSA officers can spot potentially dangerous items on passengers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The bottom line is that we are now able to detect all types of the most dangerous weapons - nonmetallic explosive devices," TSA spokesman Nicholas Kimball said. "Even in small amounts, it can be picked up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Window dressing?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two types of scanning machines - &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2010/11/22/GR2010112204167.html" linkindex="378"&gt;backscatter and millimeter wave&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/29/AR2010102906766.html" linkindex="379"&gt;have been installed at airports&lt;/a&gt; since 2007, when they were launched as part of a pilot program at &lt;a href="http://www.phxskyharbor.com/" linkindex="380"&gt;Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport&lt;/a&gt;. Both machines produce the same full-body images that attracted controversy; they work by bouncing X-rays or radio waves off skin or concealed objects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have been installed at a quicker rate since a &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/26/AR2009122601150.html" linkindex="381"&gt;failed Christmas Day terrorist attempt&lt;/a&gt; last year in which Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab hid explosives in his underwear on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The failed attack also prompted federal officials to use the scanners as a primary security technique at airports instead of a secondary, less frequent checkpoint feature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, many security experts say the machines are expensive window dressing meant to put the traveling public at ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://springerlink.com/content/g6620thk08679160/fulltext.pdf" linkindex="382"&gt;A recent paper published&lt;/a&gt; in the Journal of Transportation Security by two former University of California-San Francisco physicists said that images produced by the backscatter scanners would probably fail to show a large pancake-shaped object taped to the abdomen because it would be "easily confused with normal anatomy." As a result, a third of a kilo of PETN, a type of malleable explosive, which could be discovered by a pat-down, would be missed, the scientists said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's not an explosives detector; it's an anomaly detector," said Clark Ervin, who runs the &lt;a href="http://www.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work/homeland-security" linkindex="382"&gt;Homeland Security Program at the nonprofit Aspen Institute&lt;/a&gt;. "Someone has to notice that there's something out of order." Ervin was the first inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, is hard to detect. Odorless and similar to a white crystal powder, it was used in both package bombs shipped to the United States in October and the Christmas airliner attempt last year. Those who plotted the cargo attack hid the explosive in toner cartridges and "clearly" tried to trick baggage screening technologies, according to the Department of Homeland Security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian Michael Jenkins, director of the Transportation Security Center at the Mineta Transportation Institute in San Jose, Calif., said he was unsure whether an advanced scanner would have discovered the explosives in Abdulmutallab's underwear. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has said it "remains unclear" whether he would have been caught by a full-body scanner. But a random assortment of security measures - and not the reliance on one technology or method - is key, Jenkins said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's the mystery that drives our adversaries crazy," he said. "We need the unknown."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drawbacks, advances&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dhs.gov/files/labs/editorial_0903.shtm" linkindex="383"&gt;The Transportation Security Laboratory&lt;/a&gt;, a federal Homeland Security testing site created in 1992 at New Jersey's Atlantic City International Airport, began testing on full-body scanners in 2007. The detailed results of the testing performed in Atlantic City are classified because of security concerns, but interviews with more than a dozen former and current government officials and the limited release of its findings found:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The detection of weapons and contraband varied by who was evaluating the images, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;indicating that some transportation security officers were less adept at spotting unusual or dangerous items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The "backscatter" rays can be obscured by body parts and might not readily detect thin items seen "edge-on."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Objects hidden inside the body, in cavities, might be missed by both types of the scanning machines altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you have someone who is rather fat or who has large breasts or buttocks, that's a factor, too," said Anthony Fainberg, a physicist and former program manager for explosives and radiation detection at Homeland Security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fainberg has lobbied for hand-held swabbing of hands and luggage for trace detection of explosives, especially on international flights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you have something hidden behind flaps of flesh, it can be missed," he said. "I'm not worried about the safety of it at all, but I am concerned about what could be missed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Cilluffo, director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, said that the technology expands the TSA's security toolbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is not going to solve the problem, but it certainly comes a long way from where we were before," Cilluffo said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;'These things take time'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To address the litany of security and privacy concerns over the full-body scanners, federal officials are testing several new technologies that will probably make their way into airports in the coming months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Homeland Security's research and design division, &lt;a href="http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/editorial_0530.shtm" linkindex="384"&gt;the Science and Technology Directorate&lt;/a&gt;, is testing a software patch being developed by the two companies behind the scanning technology - Rapiscan Systems and L-3 Communications - that would produce only a generic outline of a human body accompanied by a box or colored squares indicating a hidden anomaly or specific substance. An alarm might also be used to alert screeners to potential threats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But TSA Administrator John S. Pistole said that the software, called automated target recognition, is not scoring well in lab tests, producing too many false-positive errors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is a relatively complex math problem, but we're confident we're going to solve it and solve it soon," said Peter Kant, executive vice president of Rapiscan Systems. "But these things take time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, federal researchers are testing systems that would scan passengers' shoes without having to take them off; a new generation of carry-on baggage equipment, such as conveyor systems; and smaller and faster baggage scanning machines, which could check 1,500 bags per hour, up from an average of 300 to 400 per hour. Technology developed at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory could identify liquids through opaque containers, such as a soda can or juice pouch.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-2510784484433361567?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/2510784484433361567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=2510784484433361567&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/2510784484433361567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/2510784484433361567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/12/more-body-scanners-are-coming-to.html' title='More body scanners are coming to an airport near you'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-869922143913369749</id><published>2010-12-12T23:05:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-12T23:06:54.024-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Information You Should Know'/><title type='text'>The Halliburton Case and Corruption in Nigeria</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In case you didn't know about this, or had no idea it was ever going on well...that's what you've got me for, Im gonna make sure you know whatever I know.

The Army also awarded the work to KBR over objections from members of Congress, who have pushed the Pentagon to seek bids for further logistics contracts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Justice Department said the government will join a suit filed by whistleblowers alleging that two freight-forwarding firms gave KBR transportation department employees kickbacks in the form of meals, drinks, sports tickets and golf outings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Defense contractors cannot take advantage of the ongoing war effort by accepting unlawful kickbacks,” Assistant Attorney General Tony West said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KBR, the Army’s largest contractor in Iraq, will review the litigation when it is received and “will continue to cooperate with the government,” company spokeswoman Heather Browne said in an e-mail. “Gifts of dinners, baseball tickets and similar items would violate KBR policies and KBR was not aware of these violations.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KBR will continue to provide services in Iraq such as housing, meals, laundry, showers, water purification and bathroom cleaning under the new order, which was placed under a military contract KBR won in late 2001, shortly after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;‘Appropriate Safeguards’&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Army has “reviewed the government’s notice to intervene” in the whistleblower lawsuit, Army spokesman Dan Carlson said. “We feel we have appropriate safeguards in place” to protect the government’s interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The no-bid work order is unusual because the Army, at the insistence of Congress, has since April 2008 put all logistics orders to bid, pitting KBR against Falls Church, Virginia-based DynCorp International Inc. and Irving, Texas-based Fluor Corp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Army didn’t put this work out for bids because U.S. commanders in Iraq advised against it, saying that enlisting a new company would be too disruptive as the U.S withdraws, Army program director Lee Thompson said in an interview before the Justice Department action was announced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Odierno’s View&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The view of General Ray Odierno, the U.S. military commander in Iraq, was crucial to the decision, Army Chief of Staff General George Casey told reporters today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Odierno said, ‘I’ve got three million pieces of equipment I’ve got to get out of Iraq, I’ve got 100 or so bases to close, I’ve got to move 80,000-plus people out of here and you want me to change horses in the middle of the stream?’” Casey recounted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. force in Iraq is scheduled to shrink from 94,000 troops today to 50,000 by August, with a complete withdrawal by December 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Army, in its statement yesterday, said putting to bid an order for 18 months’ work and making the transition to a new contractor would cost at least $77 million. The KBR work order will be awarded by Aug. 31, said Mike Hutchison, deputy director of Army logistics contracting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Earlier U.S. Lawsuit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lawsuit is the second government action this year against KBR. The U.S. sued the company on April 1, alleging that it used private armed security guards in Iraq between 2003 and 2006 in violation of its Army contract and then improperly billed for their services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before yesterday’s Justice Department announcement, the Army had said in an e-mailed statement that it was aware of the April lawsuit and would use “additional oversight measures to ensure only reasonable, allowable costs are paid” under the new work order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court, was based on information from two whistleblowers who work in the air cargo industry, the Justice Department statement said. The whistleblowers can get a portion of any money the Justice Department obtains in the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Senate Objections&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KBR’s no-bid work order drew criticism from two U.S. senators even before it was announced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Claire McCaskill, the Missouri Democrat who heads a subcommittee that oversees military contracting, and the panel’s ranking Republican, Susan Collins of Maine, wrote Defense Secretary Robert Gates on April 30 urging the Army against “continued reliance” on KBR in light of the Justice Department’s April lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Army has a big burden to demonstrate that a decision to not compete is in the best interest of the military and American taxpayers,” McCaskill said in a statement last night. “We will hold their feet to the fire and continue to demand accountability on this decision.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the new competitive-bid approach, KBR on March 2 won a one-year, $571 million contract with four option years that, if exercised, could be worth as much as $2.77 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That contract calls for KBR to provide services including transportation and postal operations. DynCorp initially protested the award and then dropped its objections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;--Editors: Bill Schmick, Ann Hughey.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To contact the reporter on this story: Tony Capaccio at acapaccio@bloomberg.net&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To contact the editor responsible for this story: Jim Kirk at jkirk12@bloomberg.net&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Okay so..........you see it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-869922143913369749?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/869922143913369749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=869922143913369749&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/869922143913369749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/869922143913369749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/12/halliburton-case-and-corruption-in.html' title='The Halliburton Case and Corruption in Nigeria'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-6566024775285533084</id><published>2010-11-29T15:22:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T15:40:33.710-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Information You Should Know'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News To Pay Attention To'/><title type='text'>US Government seizure of the internet has begun; DHS takes over 76 websites</title><content type='html'>&lt;b style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;If you look for The Red Pill and it's suddenly gone, you know what happened. Won't be the first time. I've actually started this blog THREE times over the years. Picture THAT!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(NaturalNews) As part of a new expansion of government power over information, the Department of Homeland Security has begun seizing and shutting down internet websites (web domains) without due process or a proper trial. DHS simply seizes web domains that it wants to and posts an ominous "Department of Justice" logo on the web site. See an example at http://torrent-finder.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 75 websites were seized and shut down last week, and there is no indication that the government will stop such efforts. &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Right now, their focus is websites that they claim "violate copyrights," yet the torrent-finder.com website that was seized by DHS contained no copyrighted content whatsoever&lt;/b&gt;. It was merely a search engine website that linked to destinations where people could access copyrighted content. Google also links to copyrighted content -- does that mean the feds will soon seize Google, too? &lt;b style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;(Hail No! They need Google to help them do the dirty work. Google is a part of the problem.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These seizures were conducted on the basis of language in the DMCA law, which is vastly overreaching in its powers (it was passed to appease the music recording industry and the RIAA). Even so, the U.S. Senate is right now considering passing yet another law -- COICA -- the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/...), a new law that would give the federal government even more power to shut down websites it opposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more about COICA here: http://www.usa-anti-communist.com/w...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the list of 19 US Senators who voted to censor the internet via the COICA bill: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Government could shut down alternative health websites&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is all this going? Today the U.S. government is targeting websites focused on copyright violations, but if the public tolerates this government-sponsored censorship of the web, it's only a matter of time before these government powers are expanded to&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt; control the content of the internet&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the last few years, several U.S. Senators have already attempted to outlaw vitamins and nutritional supplements.&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;One lawmaker even suggested that "alternative health" information should be outlawed on the internet in order to "protect" people from information that isn't aligned with the drugs-and-surgery approach to sick care&lt;/b&gt;. It's only a matter of time, it seems, before the U.S. government uses its new power of seizing internet websites as &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;an information warfare weapon&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;to silence anyone who opposes FDA and the Big Pharma agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, under these new laws, there's no limit to what websites the U.S. government could choose to seize and shut down. This is the beginning of the&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;federal takeover of the internet&lt;/b&gt;, where all websites that don't fall in line with "official" government-approved information are now potential targets of DHS seizures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One music website seized by DHS -- RapGodFather.com -- was seized merely because its &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;users posted comments linking to file-sharing websites&lt;/b&gt; (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/...). The site had 150,000 members, but as of today, it is the property of "Homeland Security Investigations." (http://rapgodfathers.com/)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the TorrentFreak.com news report on this important story here: http://torrentfreak.com/music-linki...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;All websites using the word "Face" could soon be seized&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reach of tyrants knows no limits. As widely reported throughout the popular press last week,&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has assigned Facebook a trademark monopoly over the word "Face&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;/b&gt; (http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/23/pa...) This means that&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;any website using the word "face" could theoretically be seized by the DHS under the DMCA.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lest you think this is some impossible exaggeration of the law, keep in mind that &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;governments always misuse laws to go far beyond their original intended purpose&lt;/b&gt;. The RICO Act, for example, which was originally passed in 1970 to combat the mafia, is now used nearly every day against individuals and small businesses (http://www.ricoact.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, the&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; Patriot Act&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;signed into law by President Bush after the 9/11 attacks was originally intended to be applied to international terrorists. But now in the United States, &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;it is routinely used against animal rights activists and environmental protection groups &lt;/b&gt;(http://www.aclu.org/national-securi...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These rogue abuses of federal law &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;create a pattern&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;of expanding government powers that increasingly &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;threaten the Constitutional rights of American citizens&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt; To seize a person's website without due process is both a violation of that person's First Amendment rights (Free Speech) as well as their Fifth Amendment rights&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Fifth Amendment states:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet this seizure of websites by the DHS is doing precisely that -- depriving people of property without due process of law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;The U.S. federal governmen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, as we have increasingly seen through the actions of the TSA, DEA and DHS, &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;does not recognize nor honor the Bill of Rights&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt; Nor does it believe the U.S. Constitution has any authority whatsoever&lt;/b&gt;. The upshot of this is that all Americans citizens are now living under a system of government tyranny, where government agents may molest you at the airports or seize your website if they don't like what you're saying online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/030542_censorship_internet.html" linkindex="16"&gt;SOURCE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-6566024775285533084?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/6566024775285533084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=6566024775285533084&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/6566024775285533084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/6566024775285533084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/11/us-government-seizure-of-internet-has.html' title='US Government seizure of the internet has begun; DHS takes over 76 websites'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-1556361423226432654</id><published>2010-11-11T13:04:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T13:10:43.949-05:00</updated><title type='text'>ALERT: Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif.

A pending US Supreme Court ruling on a case in Ohio could     set the stage for the reinstatement of Mumia's death sentence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Activists continue to voice their anger at US judicial injustices.     They are calling for a fair trial of the internationally renowned     journalist and activists Mumia Abu-Jamal who has spent the last 30 years     in US jails. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Incredibly corrupt American judicial system has convicted Abu-Jamal     for a crime the veteran journalist denies he had committed.     Meanwhile, the 2008 US presidential candidate, Gloria La Riva, has     recently criticized court proceedings in Abu-Jamal’s case, describing the     verdict of the death penalty as a clear example of shameful racism in the     United States. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Last     year, the US Supreme Court declined to hear Abu-Jamal's appeal for a     new trial. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia has     upheld his conviction for the murder of Officer Danny Faulkner. In     other words, the highly racist judicial system seem to have decided     that Mumia will never get out of jail even if all evidence point to     his innocence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Following     is Gloria La Riva’s appeal from the ANSWER Coalition to people from     around the world - particularly Muslims – to help save Mumia’s life     from the ongoing prejudices. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: grey;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;__________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; line-height: 150%;"&gt;"The life     of African American leader and death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is     in new danger. A pending US Supreme Court ruling on a case in Ohio     could set the stage for the reinstatement of Mumia's death sentence.     Mumia's case is also separately before the US Supreme Court, but     presented by Philadelphia prosecutors seeking to have his death     sentence reinstated," the statement said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosecutors and politicians in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have     vengefully sought to execute Mumia for 28 years. He has been on     death row since 1983, when he was wrongly convicted of killing     Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner on Dec. 9, 1981. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In Mumia's trial, flagrant violations-false police testimony,     coercion of witnesses, judicial and prosecutorial misconduct,     exclusion of Black jurors, inadequate defense and pervasive     racism-led to his wrongful conviction and death sentence. The     overriding issue that allowed these violations is the deeply racist     and repressive nature of Philadelphia's ruling apparatus and     collusion by the police, prosecutors and courts," La Riva stated.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mumia was a well-known radical journalist frequently covering the     blatant injustice directed at the MOVE organization, which was     heavily targeted by the police. In his independent journalism, Mumia     exposed the racist brutality of the police and other injustices. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years after his conviction, it was revealed that he was under     extensive surveillance by the FBI, local police and other agencies     for having been a member of the Black Panther Party in his teens.     His political affiliations were used against him in a highly     prejudicial manner during trial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that justice can't be won in the courts without a people's     struggle, a worldwide movement has grown around Mumia's fight for     freedom. Supporters in dozens of countries and in the United States     have mobilized countless actions on his behalf. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former US presidential candidate then added that an urgent     national mobilization is now underway to demand that US. Attorney     General Eric Holder hear supporters' arguments that Mumia's civil     and constitutional rights were violated throughout his arrest, trial     and sentencing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Washington, D.C., on Thurs., Nov. 12, Mumia's supporters     presented thousands of letters and petitions to Holder at the     Department of Justice, calling on him to examine the case as an     urgent matter of civil rights. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Substantial evidence exists to prove Mumia's innocence if it were     heard in a new trial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meantime, La Riva blasted US justice system, and stated, "Yet-as is     true with thousands of other defendants in the US "justice"     system-procedural restrictions in US law render the appeals process     virtually ineffective. Poverty and the inability to acquire proper     counsel are major factors in wrongful convictions. And convictions     are virtually impossible to overturn." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most harmful of all to death-row inmates is the draconian     Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA),     signed into law by President Bill Clinton. One of its provisions     prohibits the federal courts from granting appeals relief to a     defendant who is convicted in state court unless there is     "unreasonable" application of federal law by the state court, an     almost insurmountable bar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a one-year limit for one final habeas corpus petition     after direct appeals are exhausted. For many inmates, one year is     not enough time to prepare a legal appeal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AEDPA is the main reason Mumia and other death-row prisoners have     been denied new hearings on substantive issues that could win their     freedom or the lifting of the death sentence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The activist further recalled other cases in the US justice system,     and added, "Another innocent man in grave danger of being executed     is Troy Anthony Davis, a Georgia man several judges acknowledge is     innocent. But because of AEDPA's restrictions over the right of     appeal, these same judges cite AEDPA to deny him justice." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One positive step in Mumia's long legal fight was when his death     sentence was overturned in 2001. Federal District Judge William H.     Yohn, Jr. ruled that improper instructions were given to the jury in     Mumia's 1982 sentencing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yohn cited the important case Mills v. Maryland, which set a     standard in which a jury's majority-rather than unanimous     agreement-was sufficient for weighing mitigating circumstances to     recommend a life sentence instead of execution. Although it was a     state court decision, Mills v. Maryland has been accepted in many     federal appeals cases. But now, Ohio and Pennsylvania want that case     set aside to exercise their "state's rights." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an example of double-standard attitude in US judicial system, La     Riva noted, "For the state of Ohio, the US Supreme Court has agreed     to hear the death-penalty case, Smith v. Spisak, of a neo-Nazi who     murdered three people in 1982 and who, during his trial, openly     bragged about it and promised to kill more people. Spisak's     attorneys have argued that the jury was erroneously told that they     must be unanimous in considering any mitigating factors that could     weigh in favor of a life sentence instead of execution." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As in Yohn's overturning of Mumia's sentencing, the Sixth US     Circuit Court of Appeals agreed in Spisak's appeal that Mills v.     Maryland was applicable, and that the jury was improperly instructed     that they could not consider mitigating circumstances unless they     all agreed." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2001, when Yohn cited Mills v. Maryland to overturn Mumia's death     sentence, he ordered the prosecution to hold a new hearing within     180 days to determine Mumia's new sentence, either life imprisonment     or death. But the Philadelphia prosecutors immediately appealed to     have the death sentence reinstated without a hearing, and now it is     before the US Supreme Court. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the court were to affirm "states' rights" on death penalty     sentencing, the state of Pennsylvania could try to move quickly to     sign a death warrant against Mumia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is extensive proof of a vengeful and racist prosecution     against Mumia by the Philadelphia police, prosecutors and the     judiciary ever since a policeman, Daniel Faulkner, was shot and     killed Dec. 9, 1981, in Philadelphia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On April 6 of this year, Mumia's own appeal for a new trial was     rejected by the US Supreme Court, on the issue of Black people being     excluded from the jury that decided his trial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"By refusing to hear Mumia's appeal, the Supreme Court ignored its     own decision in the precedent-setting 1986 Batson v. Kentucky (476     U.S. 79) case, which says that jurors may not be excluded solely     because of race, a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the     Fourteenth Amendment," the statement added. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the writ of certiorari petition to the court, Mumia's attorneys     showed that 11 Black people were struck from the jury pool by the     prosecutors. Only two Black people sat on the jury, the rest of the     jurors were white. The African American population of Philadelphia     is 43 percent African American. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Racism runs deep in Philadelphia's and persecution of Black people     has been the order of the day," the statement reiterated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to remember that in 1985 the Philadelphia police     firebombed the home of the MOVE organization, an African American     group that had been under attack for years. Eleven people-including     five children-died in that brutal SWAT aerial bombing and siege.     More than 60 homes in the neighborhood were destroyed by the fire.     No police were ever held accountable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An overwhelming percentage of death-row prisoners in Pennsylvania     are Black. Although the state's African American population is 10.8     percent, the percentage of Black inmates on Pennsylvania's death row     is 59 percent, 130 people out of a total of 221. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge in Mumia's trial, Albert Sabo, came to be known as the     "hanging judge." He sentenced far more people to death row than any     other judge in the state. Of all the 17 prisoners currently on death     row whom he sentenced, 14 are Black, one is white and two are Asian.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A court stenographer, Terri Maurer Carter, signed an affidavit in     one of Mumia's subsequent appeals that she heard Sabo say during a     recess in the trial, "I'm going to help fry that n----." [racist     word for a Black person--glr] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, despite a clear preponderance of Mumia's civil and     constitutional rights being violated, state and federal appeals     throughout the years since his 1982 wrongful conviction have been     rejected. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Philadelphia police and politicians have made their political     careers through the systematic repression of Black people in that     city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The notoriously brutal Frank L. Rizzo was police commissioner from     1967 to 1971, during which time the Black Panther Party offices were     assaulted, MOVE members attacked and the African American community     subjected to great repression. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rizzo was then elected mayor from 1972 to 1980. Ed Rendell, the     district attorney who led the prosecution of Mumia, is now     Pennsylvania governor. He has promised to sign Mumia's death     warrant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom Ridge, who became governor in 1994 and signed Mumia's death     warrant in 1995, signed more than 224 execution warrants while in     office, five times more than the two previous governors had done in     25 years. His award was being appointed as the first Homeland     Security director after 9/11. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Seth Williams, assistant city prosecutor, Democrat and African     American, campaigned for the district attorney position this year.     He promised to fight for the reinstatement of Mumia's death sentence     if elected. On Nov. 4, Williams was elected. He was supported by the     14,600-member police association. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right-wing financier Kevin Kelly is backing the production of a new     film that falsely claims the killing of Faulkner was a planned     execution. Called "The Barrel of a Gun," it promotes the outrageous     lie that Mumia's membership-as a teenager in the Black Panther     Party-was his motivation to plan the killing of a police officer.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The charge of a planned police killing was never even claimed by the     prosecutors in Mumia's trial. Why this lie now? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Philadelphia police and prosecutors have been determined to     execute Mumia at all costs. They are also worried about the growing     national and international support for Mumia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-8632996807305524263?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/8632996807305524263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=8632996807305524263&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/8632996807305524263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/8632996807305524263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/11/impending-danger-threatens-life-of.html' title='Impending Danger Threatens the Life of Veteran Journalist  and Activist Mumia Abu-Jamal'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TNjQzKcARQI/AAAAAAAAANk/iXgSMH5BX_A/s72-c/Free-Mumia-Abu-Jamal-copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-1574700542996549124</id><published>2010-10-24T16:25:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-24T16:25:20.854-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Just so you know'/><title type='text'>Malcolm X - Ballot or Bullet  Speech in full.

Or is it that we DO know, but we're just to busy doing the backstroke in D-Nile?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There seems to be a growing trend among schools to stage a UFO crash, and then teach students how to react, as well as to “properly” investigate and report on the incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sounds like a lot of fun, and a great way to fire up a student’s imagination as well as writing skills. Hell, I wish we would have done a staged UFO crash at my school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest “UFO drill” took place Wed, Sept 29, at Sandford Primary School in the UK. The kids were treated to a full UFO crash scenario that included wreckage, police tape, and real police officers. (Perhaps it was only lacking men from the government telling the children not to talk about what was seen.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s interesting is that “police were on hand to show the children how to properly investigate the UFO crash site.” Um, were any of the officers speaking from experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A news article at The Weston Mercury elaborates on the role played by the officers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teacher and organiser Victoria Shepherd said: “PCSO Wright and PC Church were brilliant. They helped the children secure the scene and talked about what to do in an emergency, how they gathered evidence, how to interview witnesses etc.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are UFO drills becoming something of a routine part of the curriculum in the UK? It’s certainly becoming more and more of a common event. Each time, it’s a joint exercise put in place by the school and local law enforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A similar drill took place in Feb of 2009 when Lanchester Endowed Parochial Primary, in County Durham, staged a surprise “crash” behind the school. In Sept 2008 “children from an Edgware school were made to believe aliens had landed in their playground by teachers and police.” Again, each time it was conducted by the school system and police — teaching children what to do in event of a UFO event. Afterward, the kids are asked to write about their experience.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

rush through thousands of home foreclosures since  2007, financial institutions and their mortgage servicing departments  hired hair stylists, Walmart floor workers and people who had worked on  assembly lines and installed them in "foreclosure expert" jobs with no  formal training, a Florida lawyer says. In depositions released Tuesday, many of those workers testified that  they barely knew what a mortgage was. Some couldn't define the word  "affidavit." Others didn't know what a complaint was, or even what was  meant by personal property. Most troubling, several said they knew they  were lying when they signed the foreclosure affidavits and that they  agreed with the defense lawyers' accusations about document fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The mortgage servicers hired people who would never question  authority," said Peter Ticktin, a Deerfield Beach, Fla., lawyer who is  defending 3,000 homeowners in foreclosure cases. As part of his work,  Ticktin gathered 150 depositions from bank employees who say they signed  foreclosure affidavits without reviewing the documents or ever laying  eyes on them — earning them the name "robo-signers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deposed employees worked for the mortgage service divisions of  banks such as Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase, as well as for  mortgage servicers like Litton Loan Servicing, a division of Goldman  Sachs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ticktin said he would make the testimony available to state and  federal agencies that are investigating financial institutions for  allegations of possible mortgage fraud. This comes on the eve of an  expected announcement Wednesday from 40 state attorneys general that  they will launch a collective probe into the mortgage industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was an industrywide scheme designed to defraud homeowners," Ticktin said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The depositions paint a surreal picture of foreclosure experts who didn't understand even the most elementary aspects of the mortgage or foreclosure process — even though they were entrusted as the records custodians of homeowners' loans. In one deposition taken in Houston, a foreclosure supervisor with Litton Loan couldn't define basic terms like promissory note, mortgagee, lien, receiver, jurisdiction, circuit court, plaintiff's assignor or defendant. She testified that she didn't know why a spouse might claim interest in a property, what the required conditions were for a bank to foreclose or who the holder of the mortgage note was. "I don't know the ins and outs of the loan, I just sign documents," she said at one point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until now, only a handful of depositions from robo-signers have come to light. But the sheer volume of the new depositions will make it more difficult for financial institutions to argue that robo-signing was an aberrant practice in a handful of rogue back offices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judges are unlikely to look favorably on a bank that claims paperwork flaws don't matter because the borrower was in default on the loan, said Kendall Coffey, a former Miami U.S. attorney and author of the book "Foreclosures."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There has to be a cornerstone of integrity to the process," Coffey said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bank of America responded to Tiktin's depositions by re-affirming that an internal review has shown that its foreclosures have been accurate. "This review will ensure we have a full understanding of any potential issues and quickly address them," Bank of America spokesman Dan Frahm said. Frahm added that, on average, the bank's foreclosure customers have not made a payment in more than 18 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JP Morgan Chase spokesman Thomas Kelly said the bank has requested that courts not enter into any judgments until the bank had reviewed its procedures. But Kelly added that the bank believes that all the underlying facts of the cases involved in the document fraud allegations are true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Litton Loan Servicing did not respond to a request for comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even before the foreclosure scandal broke, the housing market was in the midst of an ugly detoxification. Now the escalating crisis is likely to prolong the housing depression for at least another few years. The allegations are opening the entire chain of foreclosure proceedings to legal challenge. Some foreclosures could be overturned. Others could be deemed illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a housing recovery to occur, all the foreclosed properties — which could account for 40 percent of all residential sales by 2012 — need to be re-scrutinized by the banks and resold on the market. Now, with so much inventory under a legal threat, the process will become severely delayed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This just adds more uncertainty to the whole mortgage process, so buyers are asking themselves: do I want to buy a home in this environment?" says Cris deRitis, director of credit analytics at Moody's Analytics. "We need to fix these issues before the economy can recover."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though some have chalked up the foreclosure debacle to an overblown case of paperwork bungling, the underlying legal issues are far more serious. Yes, swearing that you've reviewed documents you've never seen is a legal offense. But at the center of the foreclosure scandal looms something much larger: the question of who actually owns the loans and who has the right to foreclose upon them. The paperwork issues being raised by lawyers and attorneys generals have the potential to blight not just the titles of foreclosed properties but also those belonging to homeowners who have never missed a mortgage payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, JP Morgan Chase, PNC Financial and Litton Loan Servicing have stopped some foreclosure proceedings in 23 states. Bank of America and GMAC, recently renamed Ally, have extended their moratoriums to all 50 states. Wells Fargo and Citigroup have said they are continuing with foreclosures, adding that they are confident in their documents and processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Citigroup has now backpedaled some on that assertion. The bank sent out a press release Tuesday that it was no longer using the law firm of "foreclosure king" David Stern, now under investigation by the Florida attorney general's office. "Pending the outcome of the AG's investigation, Citi is not referring new matters to this firm," the bank said in an e-mailed statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late last week, in an interview with the Florida attorney general, a former senior paralegal in Stern's firm described a boiler-room atmosphere in which employees were pressured to forge signatures, backdate documents, swap Social Security numbers, inflate billings and pass around notary stamps as if they were salt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stern's lawyer, Jeffrey Tew, did not respond to a request for comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the public outrage continues to mount. In what is perhaps a sign of things to come, a Simi Valley, Calif., couple and their nine children broke into their foreclosed home over the weekend and moved back in, according to television station KABC of Simi Valley. The couple, Jim and Danielle Earl, say they were working with the bank to catch up on payments until they discovered a $25,000 difference between what they owed and what the bank said they owed. The family was evicted from their Spanish-style two-story in July. The home has been sold, and the new owner was due to move in soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Earls and their attorney now allege that they were victims of fraudulent paperwork.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mochila insert follows...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Robo-signers: Mortgage experience not necessary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Banks hired hair stylists, teens to process foreclosure documents, workers' testimony shows&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MICHELLE CONLIN&lt;br /&gt;AP News&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 12, 2010 21:21 EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to rush through thousands of home foreclosures since 2007, financial institutions and their mortgage servicing departments hired hair stylists, Walmart floor workers and people who had worked on assembly lines and installed them in "foreclosure expert" jobs with no formal training, a Florida lawyer says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In depositions released Tuesday, many of those workers testified that they barely knew what a mortgage was.

Understand that MAN lies, MAN deceives, MAN is out for self gratification, MAN wants your money. And no matter what the preacher tells you, if LOVE ain't in it, then it is not of GOD! Wait till you see these fools running around dancing on top of the money that was laid at the alter. You can't tell me THAT'S of God! Wait till you hear what Creflo said about how he would do to get tithes in his church if it weren't for the blood of Jesus. Just the fact that he could even THINK of a process like that tells you what kind of MAN he truly is. There's NO love in his thoughts pertaining to what he says he would do just to get money [tithes]. I didn't know there was a fee for healing from God. [Jesus never charges for that. In fact he beat the merchants OUT of the church] Nor did I know there was a cover charge for admittance into Heaven. These Pulpit Pimps are getting rich, living in big houses and driving expensive cars while the same people giving them money are a step away from being homeless and catching public transportation. Struggling here but being promised riches in Glory. I had no idea there was any kind of currency in Heaven.

And although we might know who William Cooper is, a lot of us really don't know who William Cooper IS. Here is a man who stood up and spoke out about what he knew not only to get that information out to the people, but to spread the knowledge to any one and every one who would listen and believe. I've posted several videos in this entry so that YOU can learn the real story of Mr. Cooper and why he was killed. Spreading the knowledge isn't easy, and nobody ever said it was. But what William Cooper (Bill) did leave us with besides all the information he aquired was this advice:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Read everything, Listen to everybody, And don't trust anything unless you can prove it with your research."&amp;nbsp; ~ William Cooper 1943-2001&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;I encourage you to read his book Behold A Pale Horse when you get a chance, it's a great book filled with information and don't be afraid to study what he says and research it.

US Face of Poverty [VIDEO]</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;I remember during the 2008 presidential elections, Obama while running for office kept saying over and over and over what he was going to do for the "MIDDLE CLASS".&amp;nbsp; I anxiously awaited to hear him just once mention what he was going to do for the "POOR". Sadly and to my expectation it never happened. Im beginning to wonder if the word "Poor" is even in his vocabulary....never once do I recall him even saying that word, let alone speaking anything about this widely populated class of people.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;I mean really....think about it. When did you ever hear Obama say ANYTHING about the poor here in America?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;It's always been the middle class right? I grew up middle class so I know what it is to live like that, and the way I and many others I know who grew up Middle Class are living now? Well, let's just say, THIS ain't it! I'll tell you what it is though....right now, it's an everyday struggle!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;So as I sit here and look at these people in the video below, although some of us are not as bad off, the only thing keeping most of us from being just like them is a matter of one paycheck and a little bit of time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here's the reality my friend, this might be a little hard to take, and a shock to your system, but there is no MIDDLE CLASS! And there hasn't been for a minute. There are only TWO classes of people now. You're either rich or you're poor....and that is all. Don't be mad hell Im poor my damn self, and it was hard for me to accept too. So what in the sam hail was Obama talking about? Who are these so called middle class people and where are they hiding? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here are six ways you can tell if YOU ARE POOR:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If you're living from pay check to pay check: YOU ARE POOR!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If you have even one shut off notice laying around your house: YOU ARE POOR! (Rich people and middle class can afford to pay their bills on time. They don't have to "Put Somethin' On It.")&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If you shop at the family dollar, dollar tree, or save-a-lot: YOU ARE POOR!(People who can afford better only go to name brand stores and buy name brand items.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If you have no savings because as soon as you get paid all your money goes to bills so you DON'T get any shut off notices, guess what? YOU ARE POOR! ( I find that most people with money have the luxury to be able to save money because they don't have to use up everything they get as soon as they get it.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If money is always an issue, I hate to tell you this, but YOU ARE POOR! (Money is never an issue to those that have a nice amount of it.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;If you have to borrow money, pawn or steal things in order to help make ends meet then ooohhh my child, there is no doubt YOUR AZZ IS POOR TOO!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Povery is among us people, always was but the numbers are really huge right now and it's hitting people we know, if it hasn't hit us personally. The video below was shot in Patterson, NJ, but this kind of thing is happening everywhere. You can have a great job, make pretty good money and it STILL not be enough, And GOD forbid you loose your job today or tomorrow....how would you survive? You think you're going to find another job the next day? A week from now? Naw.....better think again. The average wait on a new job is at least 6 months to a year. Unless you get very lucky. I kid you not, I've seen it. This economy really bites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Here's the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8KS2XFUMYY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8KS2XFUMYY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-185460880727938923?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/185460880727938923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=185460880727938923&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/185460880727938923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/185460880727938923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/09/from-bad-to-worse-us-face-of-poverty.html' title='From Bad To Worse?

People arent playing now when it comes to their jobs OR folks being rude.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="hn-byline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="hn-byline"&gt;By MARYCLAIRE DALE (AP) – &lt;span class="hn-date"&gt;3 hours ago&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHILADELPHIA — A Kraft Foods plant worker who had been suspended for  feuding with colleagues, then escorted from the building, returned  minutes later with a handgun, found her foes in a break room and  executed two of them with a single bullet each and critically wounded a  third, police said Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yvonne Hiller, 43, had gotten into an  argument Thursday evening with her co-workers at the northeast  Philadelphia plant, police said. After she was disciplined, she went to  her vehicle, made several phone calls, and then grabbed a .357 Magnum  and used it to force her way past security guards at the front gate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 100 people were at work at the plant, which makes Nabisco cookies and crackers.&lt;br /&gt;Hiller  walked to the third-floor mixing area and found four people in the  break room. She had no quarrels with one woman and told her to leave.  She then opened fire on the others, Philadelphia Homicide Capt. James  Clark said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She believed they were spraying chemicals at her, saying things behind her back," Clark said.&lt;br /&gt;After  leaving the break room, Hiller went down a hallway and fired shots at  the supervisor who had suspended her and at a mechanic who was using a  walkie-talkie to alert police and co-workers to her whereabouts, police  said. She missed both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiller finally went to a second-floor  office and called police to tell them what she had done, authorities  said. Seven other workers were hiding in a closet nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cpl.  Janice Leader, a 911 dispatcher, told reporters Friday that Hiller  called 911, saying "I'm the one you're looking for" and reporting that  she had been harassed at work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keeping her on the line, Leader  said she told Hiller to put the gun down and place her hands on her head  so officers wouldn't take any aggressive action against her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When tactical police who had entered the plant found her, Hiller was in a fetal position on the floor, the gun beside her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police  called the mechanic a hero who "did a phenomenal job" in alerting  employees to evacuate the building and directing officers to where  Hiller was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"By following the suspect at great peril to himself —  and we can see that by the fact that he was shot at and almost hit — he  reduced our tactical problem quite dramatically," Chief Inspector Joe  Sullivan said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police identified the victims as Tanya Renee  Wilson, 47; LaTonya Sharon Brown, 36; and Bryant A. Dalton, 39, all of  Philadelphia. Wilson and Brown died at the plant.&lt;br /&gt;Dalton, shot in the neck, remained in intensive care Friday at Jefferson University Hospital, police said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plant will remain closed indefinitely, Kraft said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We  suspended the employee when she became agitated and used profanity. We  wanted the opportunity to investigate the situation," Kraft said in a  statement Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiller was charged with two counts of murder,  one count of attempted murder, aggravated assault and other charges. She  had a permit to carry the gun, authorities said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiller has  worked for Kraft for about 15 years, and had been in repeated arguments  there in the past several years, a few of them physical, Clark said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet  a next-door neighbor described Hiller as a quiet woman who kept to  herself but said she was polite and exchanged pleasantries when they saw  each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catherine Hillgen, who has lived on the tidy  middle-class city block for about 45 years, said Hiller moved in several  years ago with her son but recently has been living alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She  initially dismissed a neighbor's report Thursday that Hiller might be  involved in a fatal workplace shooting, but then heard her named on the  news Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was a complete shock," Hillgen said. "I would not expect it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kraft, based in Northfield, Ill., also makes Oreo cookies, Philadelphia cream cheese, Oscar Mayer bacon and other products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mass  shootings are rarely carried out by women, said Dr. Park Dietz,  president of Threat Assessment Group Inc., a Newport Beach, Calif.-based  violence prevention firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year, Amy Bishop, a former  instructor and researcher at the University of Alabama's Huntsville  campus, was charged with murder in a campus shooting spree that left  three biology professors dead and three other employees wounded. She  claimed the shootings "didn't happen."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday's shooting came  just weeks after a driver who had been accused of stealing from a  Manchester, Conn., beer distributorship fatally shot eight people, then  himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The driver, who was black, had seethed with a sense of  racial injustice in his job, said his girlfriend. But the beer  distributor's president said there was no record to support claims of  "racial insensitivity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Associated Press writers Kathy Matheson and Patrick Walters contributed to this report.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="hn-distributor-copyright"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Copyright ©  2010   The Associated Press.

There are more than 7,500 varieties of apple known today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers also discovered that the huge size of the  apple genome originated when it got &lt;b&gt;accidentally duplicated&lt;/b&gt; far back in  its evolutionary history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A large number of genes can give plants a &lt;b&gt;competitive advantage&lt;/b&gt;, providing more in-built defences against disease.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-3031513015813926869?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/3031513015813926869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=3031513015813926869&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/3031513015813926869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/3031513015813926869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/08/apple-dna-code-is-cracked-by.html' title='Apple DNA code is cracked by geneticists'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-2946914359848208586</id><published>2010-08-05T03:06:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-05T03:10:15.800-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Story Time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freemasons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Templars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Masons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Illuminati'/><title type='text'>Story Time: THE STORY OF THE ILLUMINATIS, THE FREEMASONS AND THE TEMPLARS [Video]</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;An in depth look at how the Freemasons and Secret Societies became what they are.

Find out what they were searching for while digging underneath Solomon's Temple Was it the Ark of The Covenant? And as I heard how they dug day and night looking for whatever it was, Im wondering how it related to Hiram Abiff and if that was what the Ruffins who killed him were after.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Part Two....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="405" width="500"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5HL1nBRBgz0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5HL1nBRBgz0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Okay in the next clip you'll be introduced to Adam Weishaupt, the man who founded the Order Of The Illuminati. If you never believed the things you've hear concerning the Illuminati is true, you need to&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;amp;source=hp&amp;amp;q=Adam+Weishaupt&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=&amp;amp;fp=ea2cd8eab02d18af" linkindex="16"&gt; Google&lt;/a&gt; this man and I think you'll see differently. In fact once you come out of denial and learn about this stuff, I PROMISE you, you'll see it EVERYWHERE! Look at your money. That seal with the pyramid and the all seeing eye with "Novus Ordo Seclorum" [New World Order] written under it? HE created that. We'll get into that more a bit later though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anyway, if you're truly interested in knowing about the Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt&amp;nbsp; is definitely a name you should remember. Alright Im talking to much...I'll be back after this next clip......Oh yeah! Pay close attention to the 5 Top Secret Primary Means that Weishaupt penned as his plan to obtain total world domination. EVERY ONE of these primary means are in full effect TODAY, with the exception of&amp;nbsp; number 5, which is the final phase and we're coming upon that one now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;Part Three.... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="405" width="500"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QZSi9R24ts&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QZSi9R24ts&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In this next clip you'll learn about the Illuminati and their connection to the government.

Company and union officials played a video. He calmly  watched images that purportedly showed him stealing from a truck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An  employee of Hartford Distributors for two years and a driver for one,  Thornton was given a choice of resigning or being fired, union and  company officials said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He signed a resignation paper, was  escorted out of the room and toward the door. He asked for a drink of  water, company CEO Ross Hollander told CNN.

Police swarmed to the scene, but never had a  chance to talk with Thornton, who apparently shot himself to death in  an office.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/shootings" linkindex="15"&gt;shootings&lt;/a&gt; left the company, city and state in shock. Relatives and acquaintances said Thornton was known for his steady demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My  heart and prayers go out to the employees and families of the victims,"  Gov. M. Jodi Rell said in a statement. "In the wake of this tragedy, we  are all left asking the same questions: How could someone do this? Why  did they do this? It was a senseless act of violence that has left us  all shaken."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A girlfriend of Thornton indicated he was a victim  of racial harassment at the beverage center, the mother of the  girlfriend told CNN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thornton told his girlfriend he had reported  to a company supervisor and a union representative about the harassment  but they did nothing about it, Joanne Hannah said Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teamsters officials deny allegations that Thornton, who was black, snapped because of racial harassment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thornton  quickly advanced through the company, said Chris Roos, secretary and  treasurer of Teamsters Local 1035, which represents the company's  drivers, but in a way that shouldn't have been threatening to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He  became a driver because it was his turn to become a driver," Roos said.  "No one was intimidated by him moving up. It was done by seniority."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight  people were killed in various parts of the facility, Police Chief Marc  Montminy said, and one shot may have been fired outside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There were clearly some performance issues," Montminy said.&lt;br /&gt;Roos told CNN that Thornton had been accused of stealing "product" off a beer truck on two separate occasions. Roos said Steve Hollander provided details of the 7 a.m. meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Omar  asked if he could resign, and he signed a resignation paper. The  meeting was over. They were walking out of the meeting, and that's when  it all happened," Roos said.&lt;br /&gt;Bryan Cirigliano, 51, the shop  steward for the union and the union's president, was in the meeting. He  was among those killed, Roos said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was a great guy.  Unbelievable family man, " Roos said of Cirigliano. "Very  community-active. Loved his daughters, loved his wife."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joanne  Hannah said Thornton showed her daughter, Kristie, a cell phone photo of  racial epithets and a stick figure with a noose around its neck drawn  on a restroom stall. He was in a stall once and heard a co-worker say  "they wanted that n----- out of there," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said Thornton was one of two black employees. "This poor guy got pushed to the limit." &lt;br /&gt;Kristie Hannah and Thornton spent Monday night in Enfield together, Joanne Hannah said. "She said he acted his normal self."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joanne  Hannah said Thornton got a pistol permit about two years ago. She said  she was unaware of the allegations of theft levied against Thornton, but  she doubted he was guilty. "He was too honest."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roos said Thornton never filed a racial complaint with the union or a government agency.&lt;br /&gt;"This had nothing to do with racial stuff. This was a sick individual. He just snapped," Roos said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James  Battaglio, a spokesman for the family that owns the distributorship,  said he had no information about the allegations of harassment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hannah and relatives of Thornton said the suspected gunman called his mother Tuesday morning and said he had shot five people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thornton's  uncle, Will Holliday, told CNN affiliate WFSB that in the call, the  suspected shooter said, "'I killed the five racists that was there that  was bothering me' and he said, 'That's it, the cops are going to come  in. So I'm going to take care of myself.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, The New  York Times reported that Thornton had financial problems and was hounded  by debt collectors for years. He had previously filed for bankruptcy  and had student loans, the Times said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police would not release identities of the dead late Tuesday. Montminy said he did not know how many were specifically targeted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Company  receptionist Marissa Busiere told CNN affiliate WFSB she heard another  co-worker screaming after shots rang out inside the business.&lt;br /&gt;"'He's shooting! He's shooting! Call 911.' And everyone started running out of the building," Busiere said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At  the time, there were about 35 or 40 people in the office and warehouse,  Brett Hollander, the director of marketing and a member of the family  that owns the company, told the Hartford Courant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three people  were rushed to Hartford Hospital, and one of them later died, a doctor  told reporters. Police declined to say how many people were wounded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everyone  is devastated by this tragic and senseless act," Battaglio, the  spokesman for the Hollander family, told the Courant. He said the family  intends to focus its attention on the families of the victims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This  is a tight-knit organization. This is tragic, this is senseless. In  addition, they lost people with whom they've been extremely close to  over the decades," Battaglio told CNN.&lt;br /&gt;At least one nearby business was closed Tuesday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pray for the families of the people at Hartford Distributors," a recorded phone message at Fluid Dynamics said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roos said employees are still reeling after the violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="cnnInline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="cnnInline"&gt;"I'm  devastated. I'm trying to think how I'm going to get nine families'  lives back in order again and help them cope with this. How can we help  them cope with this situation? We're going to try to get  employee-assistance people and union therapists to help and speak with  these guys," he said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-5185261227986023487?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/5185261227986023487/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=5185261227986023487&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/5185261227986023487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/5185261227986023487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/08/employees-in-workplace-shooting-still.html' title='Employees in workplace shooting still reeling over &apos;senseless act&apos;'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-1822705696391062752</id><published>2010-08-04T03:41:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-04T03:41:32.633-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News To Pay Attention To'/><title type='text'>Remains of John the Baptist found in Bulgaria?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/03/remains-of-john-the-baptist-found-in-bulgaria/?hpt=C1" linkindex="50"&gt;SOURCE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TFkZOUpwFGI/AAAAAAAAAMg/ekj-JChy7_c/s1600/John_Baptist.gif" imageanchor="1" linkindex="51" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TFkZOUpwFGI/AAAAAAAAAMg/ekj-JChy7_c/s320/John_Baptist.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Hmmmm.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="cnnBlogContentPost"&gt; &lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;Archaeologists in Bulgaria claim they have  found remains of John the Baptist while excavating the site of a 5th  century monastery on the Black Sea island of Sveti Ivan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A reliquary – a container for holy relics – discovered last week  under the monastery’s basilica was opened on Sunday and found to contain  bone fragments of a skull, a hand and a tooth, Bulgaria’s official news  agency BTA reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excavation leader Kazimir Popkonstantinov  lifted the reliquary’s lid in a ceremony in the coastal town of Sozopol  attended by dignitaries including the Bishop of Sliven, Yoanikii, and  Bozhidar Dimitrov, a government minister and director of Bulgaria’s  National History Museum, BTA said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further tests on the fragments are due to be carried out. But  Popkonstantinov is convinced the relics belong to John the Baptist  because of a Greek inscription on the reliquary referring to June 24,  the date when Christians celebrate John the Baptist’s birth, according  to the website of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;A later monastery on the island, built in the 11th century, was  dedicated to John the Baptist – "Sveti Ivan" means "St. John" in  Bulgarian and other Slavic languages. Popkonstantinov told Bulgarian  news agency Focus that it was possible the earlier basilica was also  dedicated to the saint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christians believe John the Baptist prophesied the birth of Christ  and baptized Jesus in the River Jordan. According to the Gospels, John  was put to death by beheading on the orders of the local ruler, Herod  Antipas. He is considered a particularly significant figure in the  Orthodox Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reliquary is made of alabaster and dates from approximately the  middle of the 5th century, Popkonstantinov told reporters. The southern  Black Sea coast was then part of the Byzantine Empire, ruled from  Byzantium, now Istanbul in Turkey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Popkonstantinov told Focus the reliquary was the first to be discovered in the region.&lt;br /&gt;Dimitrov told Focus the relics may once have been donated to the  monastery by the Byzantine church. The Topkapi Palace museum in Istanbul  is one of several sites claiming to house relics purported to be those  of John the Baptist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-1822705696391062752?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/1822705696391062752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=1822705696391062752&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1822705696391062752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/1822705696391062752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/08/remains-of-john-baptist-found-in.html' title='Remains of John the Baptist found in Bulgaria?'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TFkZOUpwFGI/AAAAAAAAAMg/ekj-JChy7_c/s72-c/John_Baptist.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-3776131577585357555</id><published>2010-08-04T02:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-04T02:00:49.079-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Isreal'/><title type='text'>Palestinian Boy Begs Israeli Soldiers Not To Take His Father</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.politicaltheatrics.net/2010/08/palestinian-boy-begs-israeli-soldiers-not-to-take-his-father/" linkindex="34"&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VcC1sXsu6Sw&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VcC1sXsu6Sw&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;What did the father do you ask????

The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims, claiming that they’re responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that’s not “duress” than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did I get here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+, 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”), I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of becoming an independent engineer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father. I realized this at a very young age.&lt;br /&gt;The significance of independence, however, came much later during my early years of college; at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbor was an elderly retired woman (80+ seemed ancient to me at that age) who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker. Her husband had worked all his life in the steel mills of central Pennsylvania with promises from big business and the union that, for his 30 years of service, he would have a pension and medical care to look forward to in his retirement. Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the incompetent mill management and corrupt union (not to mention the government) raided their pension funds and stole their retirement. All she had was social security to live on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In retrospect, the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread (or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge) for months at a time. When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own (I, after all, I thought I had everything to in front of me). I was genuinely appalled at one point, as we exchanged stories and commiserated with each other over our situations, when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food (like her) rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread. I couldn’t quite go there, but the impression was made. I decided that I didn’t trust big business to take care of me, and that I would take responsibility for my own future and myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Return to the early ‘80s, and here I was off to a terrifying start as a ‘wet-behind-the-ears’ contract software engineer… and two years later, thanks to the fine backroom, midnight effort by the sleazy executives of Arthur Andersen (the very same folks who later brought us Enron and other such calamities) and an equally sleazy New York Senator (Patrick Moynihan), we saw the passage of 1986 tax reform act with its section 1706.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For you who are unfamiliar, here is the core text of the IRS Section 1706, defining the treatment of workers (such as contract engineers) for tax purposes. Visit this link for a conference committee report (&lt;a href="http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport"&gt;http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport&lt;/a&gt;) regarding the intended interpretation of Section 1706 and the relevant parts of Section 530, as amended. For information on how these laws affect technical services workers and their clients, read our discussion here (&lt;a href="http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml"&gt;http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEC. 1706. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.&lt;br /&gt;(a) IN GENERAL - Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:&lt;br /&gt;(d) EXCEPTION. - This section shall not apply in the case of an individual who pursuant to an arrangement between the taxpayer and another person, provides services for such other person as an engineer, designer, drafter, computer programmer, systems analyst, or other similarly skilled worker engaged in a similar line of work.&lt;br /&gt;(b) EFFECTIVE DATE. - The amendment made by this section shall apply to remuneration paid and services rendered after December 31, 1986.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note:&lt;br /&gt;Â· “another person” is the client in the traditional job-shop relationship.&lt;br /&gt;Â· “taxpayer” is the recruiter, broker, agency, or job shop.&lt;br /&gt;Â· “individual”, “employee”, or “worker” is you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admittedly, you need to read the treatment to understand what it is saying but it’s not very complicated. The bottom line is that they may as well have put my name right in the text of section (d). Moreover, they could only have been more blunt if they would have came out and directly declared me a criminal and non-citizen slave. Twenty years later, I still can’t believe my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During 1987, I spent close to $5000 of my ‘pocket change’, and at least 1000 hours of my time writing, printing, and mailing to any senator, congressman, governor, or slug that might listen; none did, and they universally treated me as if I was wasting their time. I spent countless hours on the L.A. freeways driving to meetings and any and all of the disorganized professional groups who were attempting to mount a campaign against this atrocity. This, only to discover that our efforts were being easily derailed by a few moles from the brokers who were just beginning to enjoy the windfall from the new declaration of their “freedom”. Oh, and don’t forget, for all of the time I was spending on this, I was loosing income that I couldn’t bill clients.&lt;br /&gt;After months of struggling it had clearly gotten to be a futile exercise. The best we could get for all of our trouble is a pronouncement from an IRS mouthpiece that they weren’t going to enforce that provision (read harass engineers and scientists). This immediately proved to be a lie, and the mere existence of the regulation began to have its impact on my bottom line; this, of course, was the intended effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, rewind my retirement plans back to 0 and shift them into idle. If I had any sense, I clearly should have left abandoned engineering and never looked back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn’t need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that. The result was economic devastation in the region that rivaled the widely publicized Texas S&amp;amp;L fiasco. However, because the government caused it, no one gave a shit about all of the young families who lost their homes or street after street of boarded up houses abandoned to the wealthy loan companies who received government funds to “shore up” their windfall. Again, I lost my retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years later, after weathering a divorce and the constant struggle trying to build some momentum with my business, I find myself once again beginning to finally pick up some speed. Then came the .COM bust and the 911 nightmare. Our leaders decided that all aircraft were grounded for what seemed like an eternity; and long after that, ‘special’ facilities like San Francisco were on security alert for months. This made access to my customers prohibitively expensive. Ironically, after what they had done the Government came to the aid of the airlines with billions of our tax dollars … as usual they left me to rot and die while they bailed out their rich, incompetent cronies WITH MY MONEY! After these events, there went my business but not quite yet all of my retirement and savings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time, I’m thinking that it might be good for a change. Bye to California, I’ll try Austin for a while. So I moved, only to find out that this is a place with a highly inflated sense of self-importance and where damn little real engineering work is done. I’ve never experienced such a hard time finding work. The rates are 1/3 of what I was earning before the crash, because pay rates here are fixed by the three or four large companies in the area who are in collusion to drive down prices and wages… and this happens because the justice department is all on the take and doesn’t give a fuck about serving anyone or anything but themselves and their rich buddies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To survive, I was forced to cannibalize my savings and retirement, the last of which was a small IRA. This came in a year with mammoth expenses and not a single dollar of income. I filed no return that year thinking that because I didn’t have any income there was no need. The sleazy government decided that they disagreed. But they didn’t notify me in time for me to launch a legal objection so when I attempted to get a protest filed with the court I was told I was no longer entitled to due process because the time to file ran out. Bend over for another $10,000 helping of justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we come to the present. After my experience with the CPA world, following the business crash I swore that I’d never enter another accountant’s office again. But here I am with a new marriage and a boatload of undocumented income, not to mention an expensive new business asset, a piano, which I had no idea how to handle. After considerable thought I decided that it would be irresponsible NOT to get professional help; a very big mistake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we received the forms back I was very optimistic that they were in order. I had taken all of the years information to Bill Ross, and he came back with results very similar to what I was expecting. Except that he had neglected to include the contents of Sheryl’s unreported income; $12,700 worth of it. To make matters worse, Ross knew all along this was missing and I didn’t have a clue until he pointed it out in the middle of the audit. By that time it had become brutally evident that he was representing himself and not me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This left me stuck in the middle of this disaster trying to defend transactions that have no relationship to anything tax-related (at least the tax-related transactions were poorly documented). Things I never knew anything about and things my wife had no clue would ever matter to anyone. The end result is… well, just look around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember reading about the stock market crash before the “great” depression and how there were wealthy bankers and businessmen jumping out of windows when they realized they screwed up and lost everything. Isn’t it ironic how far we’ve come in 60 years in this country that they now know how to fix that little economic problem; they just steal from the middle class (who doesn’t have any say in it, elections are a joke) to cover their asses and it’s “business-as-usual”. Now when the wealthy fuck up, the poor get to die for the mistakes… isn’t that a clever, tidy solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.&lt;br /&gt;I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity.

Did a U.S. weather weapon trigger it to secure Haiti’s vast riches in gold, silver, copper and oil? – &lt;b&gt;Photo: Shaul Schwarz, Getty for TIME&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;“&lt;i&gt;The military has had about 20 years to work on weather warfare methods, which it euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking technology was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The U.S. Department of Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated technologies that would give big effects. ‘Angels Don’t Play This HAARP’ cites an expert who says the military studied both lasers and chemicals which they figured could damage the ozone layer over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA). In 1994 the Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan, which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented with weather control since the 1940s, but Spacecast 2020 noted that ‘using environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another state are prohibited.’ Having said that, the Air Force claimed that advances in technology ‘compels a reexamination of this sensitive and potentially risky topic.’” – “&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.haarp.net/" linkindex="73" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;The Military’s Pandora’s Box&lt;/a&gt;” by Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning,&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.haarp.net/" linkindex="74" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;www.haarp.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Recently I wrote a piece detailing why Haiti is so poor, how the U.S. and its European allies have conspired since 1804 to choke and strangle the people and economy of this island inhabited by the descendants of Africans. Haiti is peopled by the sons and daughters of the Africans who soundly defeated France, Britain and Spain to gain their independence and freedom, to become a beacon of possibility for freedom-loving people in this hemisphere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The whites have never forgiven those Africans or their heirs for debunking the feeble notions of white supremacy and superiority.

These were the same rumblings I heard following Hurricane Katrina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;After the devastation of Katrina I started seeing reports about HAARP, High Frequency Active Auroral Research. I did some research and discovered HAARP is an extremely high frequency radio transmitter military operation located in Alaska and Puerto Rico. HAARP is a military project both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force have signed on to for conducting experiments and tests using high frequency electromagnetic waves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The U.S. military has been using HAARP to slice the earth’s ionosphere, stab into the oceans in search of submarines, penetrate deep into the earth’s core and impact all life on the planet. Some speculate the U.S. and Russia have engaged in stealth weather warfare for decades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The U.S. government is tight lipped about HAARP and its clandestine uses. However if you do some cursory research, you will discover alarming but not surprising facts, that for me confirm what the Last Poets said is true, “The white man has a god complex.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="img alignleft size-full wp-image-9867" style="float: left; margin: 0px 18px 2px 0px; width: 372px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/HAARP-Research-Station-Gakona-AK.jpg" linkindex="75" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="248" src="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/HAARP-Research-Station-Gakona-AK.jpg" style="padding: 5px;" width="372" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #fffde5; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 207); border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 240, 217); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 5px; padding: 6px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;This is the HAARP Research Station in Gakona, Alaska. HAARP’s official website, www.haarp.alaska.edu, states its purpose: “HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;“HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the New World Order under the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). From military command points in the U.S., entire national economies could potentially be destabilized through climatic manipulations. More importantly, the latter can be implemented without the knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost and without engaging military personnel and equipment as in a conventional war,” writes Michel Chossudovsky in “&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&amp;amp;code=CHO20020104&amp;amp;articleId=205" linkindex="76" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change&lt;/a&gt;.” Chossudovsky is professor of economics at the University of Ottawa and the author of “The Globalization of Poverty.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;He continues: “The use of HAARP – if it were to be applied – could have potentially devastating impacts on the world’s climate. Responding to U.S. economic and strategic interests, it could be used to selectively modify climate in different parts of the world resulting in the destabilization of agricultural and ecological systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;“It is also worth noting that the U.S. Department of Defense has allocated substantial resources to the development of intelligence and monitoring systems on weather changes. NASA and the Department of Defense’s National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) are working on ‘imagery for studies of flooding, erosion, land-slide hazards, earthquakes, ecological zones, weather forecasts, and climate change’ with data relayed from satellites,” Chossudovsky writes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The U.S. has three known HAARP transmitting stations (and the operative word here is “known”) – two in Alaska at Gakona and Fairbanks and one in Puerto Rico near the Arecibo Observatory. The U.S. actually admits HAARP has been used to probe the earth for natural gas and oil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Keep this in mind: Haiti has oil. In fact the Atlantic Richfield Co. is a major developer of patented HAARP technology as are E-Systems and Raytheon, two major defense contractors (a euphemism for the warmongering military industrial complex).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;What if the HAARP transmitting station in Puerto Rico was probing for oil in the Caribbean near Cuba or Haiti and set the signal frequencies too high? What if this aggravated a pre-existing fault line on the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic and resulted in the earthquake?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Or what if they already knew Haiti had oil off its coasts and near the mountains and deliberately ignited a HAARP beam in order to generate enough instability to create an earthquake in order to ethnically cleanse and depopulate the region?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="img alignright size-full wp-image-9873" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 2px 18px; width: 389px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Haiti-earthquake-mother-died-lack-of-timely-care-012110-by-Carolyn-Cole-LA-Times-web.jpg" linkindex="77" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="260" src="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Haiti-earthquake-mother-died-lack-of-timely-care-012110-by-Carolyn-Cole-LA-Times-web.jpg" style="padding: 5px;" width="389" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #fffde5; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 207); border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 240, 217); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 5px; padding: 6px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Louis Joseph Valentine lowers his mother, Therese Theodore, 76, into a casket after she died Jan. 20, eight days after the quake. Valentine, whose home was leveled in the quake, says his mother didn't get medical care in time. Her casket was carried to the nearby Central Cemetery. The world now knows that countless thousands died in Haiti because U.S. relief and aid was too little and too late. Is the U.S. also responsible for causing the quake? – Photo: Carolyn Cole, LA Times&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Now before you call me crazy or say I’m a “conspiracy kook,” remember this is the same U.S. military that dropped two atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, two non-military targets, when they had no idea how much damage they would cause! This is the same military that dropped tons of lethal chemicals, defoliants and herbicides in Vietnam – sometimes on U.S. forces (friendly fire?).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;This is the same military that uses depleted uranium in Iraq and unmanned drones to kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan today. The U.S. is waging proxy and low grade resource wars all around the planet. You get my drift? The U.S. military is capable of unspeakable atrocities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Let’s not forget the U.S. government’s genocidal policies: giving smallpox laced blankets to the Native Americans, the infamous Tusgekee syphilis experiment. Don’t forget about slavery and the U.S. government standing idly by as thousands of Blacks were lynched and terrorized during the 19th and 20th centuries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;So if you are a student of history or you are half way sane, my HAARP scenario is not far fetched at all. Why has Obama reacted to Haiti just like Bush reacted to Katrina? Why the delay in mobilizing aid?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Why a military response as opposed to a humanitarian one? Why so many obstacles placed in the way of supplies and humanitarian aid given by other countries, just like FEMA erected obstacles to aid from neighboring communities and states and volunteer first responders in New Orleans? Why is the corporate media focusing on the alleged looting and the need for police and security rather than the way native Haitians have pooled together to help one another?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="img alignleft size-full wp-image-9871" style="float: left; margin: 0px 18px 2px 0px; width: 139px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a class="external" href="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Junious-Ricardo-Stanton-headshot-web2.jpg" linkindex="78" rel="nofollow" style="color: #265372; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="181" src="http://www.sfbayview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Junious-Ricardo-Stanton-headshot-web2.jpg" style="padding: 5px;" width="139" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #fffde5; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(230, 228, 207); border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 240, 217); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 5px; padding: 6px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Junious Ricardo Stanton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;This is a redo of Katrina. Actually, when you consider the U.S. government’s abysmal response to Hurricane Katrina and the recent Haitian crisis, you have to conclude they are: 1) callous and heartless, 2) totally inept or 3) deliberately engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;I suspect the latter, and one of the reasons is oil. Let us not forget: Haiti has oil! Oil is one of the main components of the American g.o.d.: gold, oil and drugs. They will do anything for their god. The media is now playing up the scramble to help Haiti by Americans as a cover for what really went down and to keep people thinking the earthquake was a “natural disaster” when in fact HAARP created it either deliberately or unintentionally. This is my theory.

He said he had challenged BIS officials about the report but they had insisted it was "rigorous and credible for their purposes".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Given BIS' role in universities and research, this raises worrying questions about some of the ways in which BIS understands, communicates and uses research," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A BIS spokeswoman said the report was a "speculative look" into the future intended to spark public interest in science and did not inform policy or affect funding decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rohit Talwar, founder of Fast Future and co-author of the report, said a wide variety of people had been asked about possible future jobs, and maintained that citing websites, news reports and blogs was "accepted best practice in horizon scanning".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;zoe.corbyn@tsleducation.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;NOW BELOW YOU'LL FIND THE REPORT...... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The shape of jobs to come: Possible New Careers Emerging from Advances in Science and Technology (2010 – 2030)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the full “&lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/FastFuture_Shapeofjobstocome_FullReport1.pdf" linkindex="44" target="_blank" title="Link to a PDF report titled &amp;quot;The shape of jobs to come&amp;quot;"&gt;The shape of Jobs to come&lt;/a&gt;” report (2.38MB / &lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pdf2.png" linkindex="44"&gt;&lt;img alt="pdf" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-62" height="15" src="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pdf2.png" title="pdf" width="15" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; PDF), see the &lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/FastFuture_Shapeofjobstocome_PR_V11.pdf" linkindex="45" target="_blank" title="Link to a PDF press release titled &amp;quot;Launch of new Fast Future Foresight Study on The shape of jobs to come&amp;quot;"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pdf2.png" linkindex="45"&gt;&lt;img alt="pdf" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-62" height="15" src="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pdf2.png" title="pdf" width="15" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; PDF) or look through the &lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/future_jobs_sheet.pdf" linkindex="46" target="_blank" title="Link to a PDF titled &amp;quot;20 jobs of the future&amp;quot; on the Science; So what?

And is your image consistent with your real life personality and your goals? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://fastfuture.com/?p=129" linkindex="49"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: Fast Future&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-5226490583478769862?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/5226490583478769862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=5226490583478769862&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/5226490583478769862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/5226490583478769862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/02/misleading-science-career-report.html' title='&apos;Misleading&apos; science career report criticised'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-5021837719811678430</id><published>2010-02-16T00:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T00:41:30.662-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News To Pay Attention To'/><title type='text'>More snow forecast for winter-weary states</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="KonaBody"&gt;&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Things that make you go....HMMMMMmmmmm....)&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/02/15/More-snow-forecast-for-winter-weary-states/UPI-94781266241715/" linkindex="266"&gt;SOURCE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Large chunks of the United States were under weather alerts Monday with freezing rain, sleet and snow battering weather-weary states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The National Weather Service issued storm warnings and weather advisories for  Tuesday in sections of &lt;b&gt;&lt;a class="kLink" href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/02/15/More-snow-forecast-for-winter-weary-states/UPI-94781266241715/#" id="KonaLink0" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="undefined"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: trebuchet ms,arial; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: trebuchet ms,arial; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;"&gt;Louisiana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, especially mountainous regions,&lt;/b&gt; CNN reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other warnings and watches were posted in &lt;b&gt;Tennessee, Kentucky, and parts of the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic states,&lt;/b&gt; weather officials said.

'&lt;b&gt;The Biotechnology 20/20 Workshop&lt;/b&gt;', as it was called, surveyed the whole gamut of bizarre weapons available, focusing on '…….. an all too credible array of deadly goodies that could be&lt;b&gt; militarily viable by 2015 -2020 ……. not only leading to the death of distance, but the end of battlefields&lt;/b&gt;'. For &lt;b&gt;there is no defence&lt;/b&gt;, as Pat Roy Mooney of RAFI (Rural Advancement Foundation International), says regarding biological warfare, in his thought-provoking work on 'The ETC Century: Erosion, Technological Transformation and Corporate Concentration in the 21st Century. (Development Dialogue 1999: 1- 2 published by The Dag Hammarsksjold Foundation, Uppsala, Sweden)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real meaning of the &lt;b&gt;'militarization' of scientific advances&lt;/b&gt; is often missed even by those who have some idea of unfolding technologies like robotics, neural networks, nanotechnology, biotechnology and other developments with awesome potential ---- thanks to the&lt;b&gt; 'US military deliberately misleading the public through sophisticated word games, deceit and outright dis-information&lt;/b&gt;', according to informed activists. They believe, this is why, all available information regarding mal-development of good science, should be disseminated 'for public scrutiny and informed debate,' something that &lt;b&gt;The Dag Hammarksjold Foundation&lt;/b&gt; has been doing over the past decades through seminars, symposia and in-depth publications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;With the advent of gene-splicing technology, concerns about ever more sophisticated biological warfare have been raised as early as the 1980's.Given the esoteric nature of such science, existing conventions prohibiting biological and chemical weapons for warfare, become totally toothless. Civil society organizations and governments therefore have been repeatedly urged to beware of mysterious new viruses or bacteria or old diseases re-emerging&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 'plus' points of germ warfare are that&lt;b&gt; no one will know who did it, as the source of the 'attack' would be impossible to trace and no one will know it was done.&lt;/b&gt; 'If the weapon of choice is the mutant strain of a known disease, it may be impossible to prove the 'attack' was intended.&lt;b&gt; Even the victims would be convinced it was 'an act of God,&lt;/b&gt;'says Pat Mooney. &lt;b&gt;Bio-weapons can be used not only to kill unwanted people ( or introduce diseases against which new drugs can be designed for profit ) but to wage economic warfare, targeting livestock or crop and destroying the economy or the food supply of the enemy without anyone suspecting foul play&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;(and GUESS who the enemy is...)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1993 there was another serious concern, 'the global collection of human genetic material (usually cell lines) by medical researchers,' including the &lt;b&gt;Human Genome Diversity Project&lt;/b&gt;,which could make it 'feasable to develop ethnically targeted viruses.' By 1998, this worrying possibility was recognized by the British &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1"&gt;Medical Association&lt;/span&gt;, and it could convince the World Medical Association to adopt a resolution that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;'ethno-bombs'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are indeed a real threat to human well-being. &lt;b&gt;Both the UK and US governments have reportedly acknowledged that about a dozen countries were researching the use of ethno-bombs, as of late 20th century.&lt;/b&gt; Do we know how many are involved today ? In 1999 WMA seemed to imply that these weapons may have been used against the Tutsis in Rwanda, the Kurds in Iraq and the East Timoreans too. &lt;b&gt;During the massacres in Bosnia-Herzegovina this scribe was struck by a very brief news flash over BBC radio which said a certain kind of bomb was exploded over Srebrenica to release something that could turn even docile people into murderous aggressors !&lt;/b&gt; Do ethno-bombs work in the same way? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser under US President Carter, wrote about three decades ago, during his stint as professor at Columbia University, that 'political strategists were tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behaviour'&lt;/b&gt;, and cited geophysicist Gordon J F MacDonald as saying that 'accurately-timed,&lt;b&gt; artificially excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;…….. in this way one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period&lt;/b&gt;.' As early as &lt;b&gt;1970&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Brzezinski predicted that&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; an elite group&lt;/span&gt; with superior scientific know-how &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;would &lt;/span&gt;gradually &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;'control'&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; 'direct'&lt;/span&gt; society. &lt;/b&gt;Global &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4"&gt;communications technology&lt;/span&gt;, with its ever more powerful sensors and satellites, have gone far, far ahead since that prediction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Nick Begich and Jeane Manning, in the course of their research for the book,&lt;b&gt; 'Angels don't play this HAARP'&lt;/b&gt; (on the highly controversial &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;H&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;igh Frequency&lt;/span&gt; A&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;ctive&lt;/span&gt; A&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;uroral&lt;/span&gt; R&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;esearch&lt;/span&gt; P&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;rogram&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in Alaska), claims to have uncovered bizarre schemes, in &lt;b&gt;US Air Force documents&lt;/b&gt;, for manipulating and disturbing mental processes through pulsed radio frequency radiation over large geographical areas ! And what is HAARP ? It is actually a&lt;b&gt; prototype for a ground-based 'Star Wars' weapon system&lt;/b&gt;, say the authors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begich and Manning say that&lt;b&gt; contrary to government claims that it is just an academic project trying to use the ionosphere ( the electrically charged sheild surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere, 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the earth) for the good of mankind&lt;/b&gt;, military documents and federal agency records point to &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2"&gt;environmental engineering&lt;/span&gt; that bodes no good. &lt;b&gt;The military appears to be more forthright, stating that it means to exploit the ionosphere for defence purposes&lt;/b&gt;. But the&lt;b&gt; military's reckless use of the radio frequencies in this natural shield could trigger cataclysmic consequences on earth&lt;/b&gt;, according to informed scientists. HAARP's superpowerful radiowave-beaming technology lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. It can indeed boil the upper atmosphere and zap with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. 'Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto the earth and penetrate everything ---- living and dead…….' claim Begich and Manning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weather control&lt;/b&gt; has been a major military interest &lt;b&gt;since the 1950's&lt;/b&gt;. White House Advisor on weather modification, Captain Howard T Orville said in 1958 that the DoD was studying 'ways to manipulate the charges of the earth and sky and so affect the weather' by using an electronic beam to ionize or de-ionize the atmosphere over a given area.' &lt;b&gt;Project Skyfire, Project Stormfury, Project Prime Argus&lt;/b&gt; are some of the names given to initial tests in weather manipulation ---&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;rainmaking and snowfall, hurricane and lightening, drought and floods and even ways to cause and detect earthquakes have all been played with !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; And tsunamis and cyclones ? In &lt;b&gt;1966 &lt;/b&gt;Dr MacDonald commented, &lt;b&gt;'The key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy.' &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is there any doubt, given the records, that environmental tampering ---- using the earth's energy fields ---- are used to manipulate the weather, modify the climate, melt polar ice caps, deplete the ozone layer, engineer earthquakes, control and manipulate both ocean and brain waves?&lt;/b&gt; All this tinkering, scientists say, would be virtually &lt;b&gt;undetectable by the victims when used.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Blame it all on Global Warming and Climate Change&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ---- and with blinkers that absolve the corporate civil-military industrial experimenters of guilt ! Brzezinski predicted decades ago '…… no matter how disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behaviour for national advantages, to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades.'

The Orinoco, one of South America’s largest rivers, has seen its water levels reduced to record lows in recent months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that’s a problem for a country that developed a national grid based on generating power from dams. Built in the 1960s, the grid aimed to take advantage of the country’s abundance of rivers and the efficiency of hydro-electricity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Venezuelan government is plagued by inefficiency and several of its thermoelectric plants — which heat water until it turns to steam, then use the steam to power a turbine — are only partly operating or still under construction. In mid-January, Planta Centro, the largest thermoelectric plant in the country, only had one of its five generators in operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, water levels in Venezuela’s reservoirs continue to fall. It is now the height of the dry season, when skies are typically cloudless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That makes the technology hard to utilize. “The clouds need to be between four and seven kilometers high in order to be seeded,” said Sottolano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not to mention that some meteorologists doubt whether cloud seeding works at all. (&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Now you know this is bull, but then again who cares what meteorologists doubt, the government and the military know it works since they're the ones doing it. HAARP knows it works...nuff said.&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The main problem is finding the right type of cloud at the right temperature — naturally, with the technique being very expensive, one needs to have an expert team with good cloud physics measurement equipment on board the aircraft, for any chance of a cost effective result being achieved,” said Roger Williams, former director of the Bermuda Weather Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A seeding project in desert areas or during the ‘dry season’ is likely to be a waste of time and money,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even if it works, it will have to rain a lot in the wet season if Venezuela is to overcome this crisis.&lt;br /&gt;The hydroelectric dam at El Guri reservoir supplies 44 percent of national demand. But a report by Edelca, the state company that manages that reservoir, revealed dangerously low levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of Feb. 1, the reservoir was at 258 meters, 14 meters below its ideal level: If it falls below 240 meters, its turbines will cease working altogether. The report concluded that if desperate measures are not taken, Venezuela could see its national grid collapse by June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, Chavez declared an electrical emergency due to what he claimed was the worst drought in 100 years. “We have done various studies and we’re ready to declare an electricity emergency, seeing as El Guri is falling by 13 centimeters every day,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from bombing clouds, the government has also imposed water and electricity rationing, unpopular measures in a year when it faces a stern test in upcoming National Assembly elections in September.&lt;br /&gt;In Caracas, rationing was suspended last month after the first day produced chaotic scenes in which a lack of functioning traffic lights caused bottlenecks and schools were not able to operate. President Hugo Chavez sacked the minister he had placed in charge of the newly created Electricity Ministry and appointed his long-serving finance minister instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electricity crisis has prompted a debate about its causes. The government line: Blame the weather.&lt;br /&gt;“Has there been a delay in some projects? Yes, that’s true. Has there been inefficient management in some areas? That’s true. But the only cause of electricity rationing is the drought,” Chavez said recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;His critics say underinvestment during an oil boom that saw consumption increase by 28 percent in seven years is the primary cause.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Part of the problem is due to the drought — that’s undeniable,” said Daniel Varnagy, director of the Economic and Administrative Sciences department at Caracas’ Simon Bolivar University. “But the drought is affecting us because the recommendations for planning for growth in the electricity sector were not followed.”&lt;br /&gt;For now, &lt;b&gt;Chavez will rely on any solution he can find to fix what is a critical situation in an election year&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-8404998368137068102?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/8404998368137068102/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=8404998368137068102&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/8404998368137068102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/8404998368137068102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/02/venezuela-tries-to-make-it-rain.html' title='Venezuela tries to make it rain'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-335046808139433279</id><published>2010-02-15T23:13:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T23:16:42.981-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HAARP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weather Modification'/><title type='text'>HAARP: Secret weapon for weather modification, electromagnetic warfare?[Video In Post]</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="hidefrompromo" style="color: #333333; float: right; font-size: 10px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="HAARP: Secret Weapon For Weather Modification, Electromagnetic Warfare" height="159" src="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID6495/images/100121_haarp%281%29.jpg" title="HAARP: Secret Weapon For Weather Modification, Electromagnetic Warfare" width="240" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAARP: Secret Weapon Used For &lt;br /&gt;Weather Modification, Electromagnetic Warfare&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; "It isn't just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. The European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility." &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;-- Quote from &lt;a href="http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/haarp_video_documentary" linkindex="80" target="_blank"&gt;a documentary&lt;/a&gt; on HAARP by Canada's public broadcasting network CBC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 4pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dedicated with caring and compassion to the many who suffered and died in the Haiti earthquake, the Indonesian tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a little-known, yet critically important U.S. military defense program which has generated quite a bit of controversy over the years in certain circles.&lt;/b&gt; Though denied by HAARP officials, some respected researchers allege that secret electromagnetic warfare capabilities of HAARP are designed to forward the US military's &lt;a href="http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=45289" linkindex="81" target="_blank"&gt;stated goal&lt;/a&gt; of achieving full-spectrum dominance by the year 2020. Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been used for weather modification, to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, to disrupt global communications systems, and more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major aspects of the program are kept secret for alleged reasons of "national security." Yet there is no doubt that HAARP and electromagnetic weapons capable of being used in warfare do exist. According to the official &lt;a href="http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/gen.html" linkindex="82" target="_blank"&gt;HAARP website&lt;/a&gt;, "HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes." The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere" linkindex="83" target="_blank"&gt;ionosphere&lt;/a&gt; is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere which ranges from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above the surface of the Earth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/gen.html" linkindex="84" target="_blank"&gt;HAARP website acknowledges&lt;/a&gt; that experiments are conducted which use electromagnetic frequencies to fire pulsed, directed energy beams in order to "temporarily excite a limited area of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere" linkindex="85" target="_blank"&gt;ionosphere&lt;/a&gt;." &lt;b&gt;Some scientists state that purposefully disturbing this sensitive layer could have major and even disastrous consequences.&lt;/b&gt; Concerned HAARP researchers like &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO201A.html" linkindex="86" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Michel Chossudovsky&lt;/a&gt; of the University of Ottawa and Alaska's &lt;a href="http://www.earthpulse.com/src/category.asp?catid=13" linkindex="87" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Nick Begich&lt;/a&gt; (son of a US Congressman) present  evidence suggesting that these disturbances can even cause tsunamis and earthquakes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two key major media documentaries, one by Canada's public broadcasting network &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC" linkindex="88" target="_blank"&gt;CBC&lt;/a&gt; and the other by the History Channel, reveal the inner workings of HAARP in a most powerful way. The very well researched CBC documentary includes this key quote:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"It isn't just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. In January of 1999, the European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;To view the  European Union (EU) document which brings HAARP and similar  &lt;a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/050812electromagneticbeamweapons" linkindex="89" target="_blank"&gt;electromagnetic weapons&lt;/a&gt; into question, &lt;a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/pv2/pv2?PRG=DOCPV&amp;amp;APP=PV2&amp;amp;DATE=280199&amp;amp;DATEF=990128&amp;amp;TPV=DEF&amp;amp;TYPEF=A4&amp;amp;POS=1&amp;amp;SDOCTA=8&amp;amp;TXTLST=1&amp;amp;Type_Doc=RESOL&amp;amp;PrgPrev=TYPEF@A4%7CPRG@QUERY%7CAPP@PV2%7CFILE@BIBLIO99%7CNUMERO@5%7CYEAR@99%7CPLAGE@1&amp;amp;LANGUE=EN" linkindex="90" target="_blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;. The actual wording at bullet point 24 in this telling document states that the EU "considers HAARP by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body before any further research and testing." This reveling document further states that the EU regrets the repeated refusal of the U.S. government to send anyone to give evidence on HAARP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;Watch the first seven minutes of this engaging 14-minute CBC documentary below.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt; &lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://personalgrowthcourses.net/video/mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/HAARP_CBC_1.flv"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;embed src="http://personalgrowthcourses.net/video/mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf" flashvars="file=http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/HAARP_CBC_1.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="330" width="440"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;For the remaining seven minutes, &lt;a href="http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/haarp_video_documentary_2" linkindex="91" target="_blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.

Below are two quotes from the History Channel documentary:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Electromagnetic weapons ... pack an invisible wallop hundreds of times more powerful than the electrical current in a lightning bolt. One can blast enemy missiles out of the sky, another could be used to blind soldiers on the battlefield, still another to control an unruly crowd by burning the surface of their skin. If detonated over a large city, an electromagnetic weapon could destroy all electronics in seconds. They all use directed energy to create a powerful electromagnetic pulse."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Directed energy is such a powerful technology it could be used to heat the ionosphere to turn weather into a weapon of war. Imagine using a flood to destroy a city or tornadoes to decimate an approaching army in the desert. The military has spent a huge amount of time on weather modification as a concept for battle environments. If an electromagnetic pulse went off over a city, basically all the electronic things in your home would wink and go out, and they would be permanently destroyed."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;For those who still doubt that such devastating secret weapons have been developed, here is an intriguing quote from &lt;a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?ObjectID=14727" linkindex="93" target="_blank"&gt;an article&lt;/a&gt; in New Zealand's leading newspaper, the &lt;i&gt;New Zealand Herald&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Top-secret wartime experiments were conducted off the coast of Auckland to perfect a tidal wave bomb, declassified files reveal. United States defence chiefs said that if the project had been completed before the end of the war, it could have played a role as effective as that of the atom bomb. Details of the tsunami bomb, known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Seal" linkindex="94" target="_blank"&gt;Project Seal&lt;/a&gt;, are contained in 53-year-old documents released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If the military secretly developed a weapon which could cause a tsunami over half a century ago, what kind of advanced deadly weapons might be available now?&lt;/b&gt; And why is it that the general public still doesn't know about secret weapons developed over 50 years ago? To understand why the media isn't covering these highly critical issues, &lt;a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/mediacover-up" linkindex="95" target="_blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly the military has the capability to cause a tsunami and likely to cause earthquakes and hurricanes, as well. It's time for us to take action to spread the word on this vital topic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having interpreted to for top generals in &lt;a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/050418fredburksinterpretingstories" linkindex="96" target="_blank"&gt;my work as a language interpreter&lt;/a&gt; with the US Department of State, I learned that military planners are always interested in developing the most devastating weapons possible. Yet these weapons are kept secret as long as possible, allegedly for reasons of national security. The many layers of intense secrecy both in the military and government result in very few people being aware of the gruesome capabilities for death and destruction that have been developed over the years. There are many examples of major defense projects kept successfully out of the public's eyes for years and even decades.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The massive &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_project" linkindex="97" target="_blank"&gt;Manhattan Project&lt;/a&gt; (development of the first atomic bomb) is one such example. The building of an entire city to support the project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_project#Project_sites" linkindex="98" target="_blank"&gt;successfully kept secret&lt;/a&gt; even from the state's governor. The stealth bomber was kept top secret for many years, and the public still has no way of knowing it's full capabilities. It is through the use of the highly organized military and intelligence services that the &lt;a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/secretsocietiesnewsarticles" linkindex="99" target="_blank"&gt;power elite&lt;/a&gt; of our world, working in cooperation with key allies in government and corporate ownership of the media, are able to carry out major cover-ups and secret operations like those involved with HAARP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some  researchers have raised questions about the &lt;a href="http://montalk.net/conspiracy/142/haarp-earthquakes-and-hurricanes" linkindex="100" target="_blank"&gt;possible involvement&lt;/a&gt; of HAARP in major  disasters like  the earthquake in Haiti,  Indonesian tsunami, and hurricane Katrina. &lt;b&gt;Could these have been HAARP experiments gone awry?&lt;/b&gt; Might they even have been caused by rogue elements which gained control of this devastating technology. Of course disasters like this happen regularly on a natural basis, yet if you begin to research, there is some high strangeness around some of these disasters. The evidence is inconclusive, yet with the known and unknown major destructive capabilities of this weapon, serious questions remain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesse Ventura, the former Navy Seal who turned pro wrestler only to then become governor of Minnesota, has also done a special on HAARP that is a bit sensationalized, yet contains useful information.

This reply is a lie. Blair attended   the 1993 Bilderberg Conference. He even belatedly declared it in the register   of members' interests. His presence was reported in, to take just one source,   The London Times, 4th march 1996, page 16 in an article entitled &lt;i&gt;Wall   Street, treason and Pat Buchanan &lt;/i&gt;by William Rees-Mogg, who attended   Bilderberg too. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: blue;"&gt;Five proofs that Tony Blair &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;amp;postID=4210060896112665025" linkindex="29" name="was"&gt;was&lt;/a&gt; at the 1993 Conference   in Athens... &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Firstly, confirmation from eyewitness and London Times columnist, William   Rees-Mogg on 4th March 1996 &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;..."Last time I went to a Bilderberg conference, it was held in Athens, about three years ago. Tony Blair was there, not yet leader of the Labour Party, Conrad Black and Barbara Amiel were there, the Queen of The Netherlands was there. It was all pleasantly grand. ..... The Queen of The Netherlands is as Euro-fanatic as Ted Heath, Tony Blair is a modest good European, I have been an anti-Maastricht campaigner and Mr Black is a Canadian neo-realist who owns 500 newspapers." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;04Mar96 - London Times article: "WALL STREET, TREASON AND PAT BUCHANAN." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Secondly, confirmation from a Memorandum submitted by the Parliamentary   Commissioner for Standards: &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Complaint against Mr Kenneth Clarke 1. Mrs Lynn Riley, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, wrote on 28 February 1997 to a Member of the House, alleging that Mr Kenneth Clarke MP had failed to register `the free trip and accommodation he received from the Bilderberg Group ... unlike Tony Blair who attended the same meeting'. She enclosed a letter from Mr Clarke dated 6 September 1995 in which he states that `my recollection is that I paid for my flight but that I was accommodated while I was there'. The Member passed the correspondence on to me………………………. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;5. Mr Clarke subsequently explained that he and Mr Blair considered that they were attending the conference as representatives of the Government and the Opposition respectively, and stated that `I was quite confident that I was at the time meeting the rules applying to Ministers, and it did not occur to me that the new rules concerning registration could apply to this visit'. " &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Thirdly confirmation in the London Times Diary &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h4&gt;The London Times: diary, 24 May 1995, p16: &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"With concern about sleaze in mind, Tony Blair has belatedly listed in the updated Register of Members' Interests (published tomorrow) a visit he made in 1993 to the Bilderberg Conference in Athens as Shadow Home Secretary. His companion, Kenneth Clarke, suffers no such qualms, he hasn't registered the trip." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Fourthly confirmation in The Guardian, 29May97, in article headed "GALLOWAY   CLEARED IN SAUDI CASE." &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;By DAVID HENCKE WESTMINSTER CORRESPONDENT. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4&gt;"Committee backs Downey report on MP's role in deportation case &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.... "The former chancellor Kenneth Clarke was also cleared of any major breach of Commons rules after allegations about his attendance at a conference in Greece with Tony Blair. The committee agreed in a report published with Sir Gordon that any breach of the rules on registration was "relatively minor". Mr Clarke allegedly failed to register a free trip and accommodation at the Bilderberg Conference on European and world affairs in April 1993 when he was home secretary. Mr Clarke paid his own air fare, but his accommodation was provided by the hosts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;GUARDIAN 29/07/97 P6 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Fifthly, confirmation from The Social Crediter, Official Journal of the Social   Credit Secretariat &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;by Alan Armstrong, with Alistair McConnachie at Turnberry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Tony Blair attended the meeting on 23-25 April 1993 at Vouliagmeni in Greece when he was Shadow Home Secretary.

He provided a detailed account of his attendance in answers to the hon. Members for Ludlow (Mr. Gill) on 23 July 1998, Official Report, column 609, and for Hereford (Mr. Keetch) on 20 July 1998, Official Report, column 434. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Commons - Written Answers (8 Apr 1998) Bilderberg Group&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mr. Nicholas Winterton MP:&lt;/b&gt; To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment she has made of the operations and influence on world trade of the Bilderberg Group.

Gosling, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; 21 November 1998 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Thank you for your letter of the 9th November 1998 expressing your concern about the Bilderberg Group. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I do not for one moment discount the possibility of there being some very powerful forces at work and that their intention is to undermine and destroy the nation state. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;That being said I feel sure that you will agree that we have to be practical about these things and I am at a loss to know how we as individuals can counteract the activities of such bodies as the Bilderbergers. Given the reluctance of elected politicians to acknowledge the nature of the very real threat to our democracy it seems inconceivable that they will openly attack these groups and the thought that they might actually proscribe them is just too fanciful for words. Neither am I aware of any mechanism by which individuals can be prevented from holding private meetings if they so choose nor of compelling them to publish their agenda and resolutions. The fact that their intentions may be treasonable is hardly the point if national governments see nothing wrong in their activities. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It seems to me that the only sensible course of action as far as people like ourselves are concerned is to concentrate all our efforts on trying to convince one or other of the main political parties, firstly, to recognise the enormity of the threat to our democratic rights and secondly, to come out of their corner fighting to defend them. As a democrat I believe in using the system to achieve my political objectives. Where this belief falls down is when there is a conspiracy to deny choice and I don't mind saying that I dread the lang term consequences of continuing on down that particular road. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;At the end of the day the people will win but how much more desirable it is that they should win by the ballot rather than by the bullet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Please be assured that I am doing everything I know how, within foe Conservative Party, to bring about a fundamental realignment before it is altogether too late. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Yours sincerely, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Christopher Gill MP &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;h1 style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;amp;postID=4210060896112665025" linkindex="33" name="What"&gt;What&lt;/a&gt; are&amp;nbsp;Bilderberg Conferences all about? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;TG 08Feb00 - Good Question! - The Bilderberg Secretariat proclaims the conferences to be '...private in order to encourage frank and open discussion'. Frank and open discussion is a good thing in any forum but when those doing the discussing are some of the very most powerful financiers and media tycoons in the world it begs the question: &lt;i&gt;If what they discuss is for the good of mankind why not publicize it! &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Isn't it a perverted use of the word 'open' when no-one can hear what they're saying? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Is Bilderberg a secret conspiracy? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When such rich and powerful people meet up in secret, with military intelligence managing their security, with hardly a whisper escaping of what goes on inside, people are &amp;nbsp;right to&amp;nbsp;be suspicious. But the true power of Bilderberg comes from the fact that participants are in a bubble, sealed off from reality and the devastating implications on the ground of the black-science economic solutions on the table. The world's leading financiers and foreign policy strategists don't get together at Bilderberg to draw up their secret plans for the future. It's subtler than that. These meetings create an artificial 'consensus' to spellbind visiting politicians and and other men of influence. It's about reinforcing - often to the very people who are on the edge of condemning Globalisation - the illusion that Globalisation is 'good' and that it is inevitable.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So is Bilderberg a conspiracy? No, it's an extremely influential lobbying group. That's not to say though that the organisers don't have a hidden agenda, they do, namely acumulation of wealth and power into their own hands whilst explaining to the participants that globalisation is for the good of all. It is also a very good forum for 'interviewing' potential future political figures such as Clinton and Blair (1993).  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The ideology put forward at the Bilderberg conferences is that what's good for banking and big business is good for the people of the world. Silently banished are the critical voices, those that might point out that debt is spiralling out of control, that wealth is being sucked away from ordinary people and into the hands of the faceless corporate institutions, that millions are dying as a direct result of the Rockefeller/Rothschild economic strategies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When looking at one of the partially reliable participant lists it should be remembered that quite a number of attendees are invited in an attempt to get them on-board the globalisation project. These are carefully selected people of influence, who have been openly critical of globalisation. Examples are Jonathan Porritt (Bilderberg 1999) and Will Hutton (Bilderberg 1997) but there are many others. Most of these kinds of participants are happy to speak about the conference afterwards, and may even be suprisingly critical. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The Bilderbergers are accepted by those 'in the know' as the prophets of Capitalism. Will Hutton, deputy Editor of The Observer newspaper in London and left-leaning Economist, described private clubs of the elite as masterminded by 'The High Priests of Globalisation'. The ecclesiastical allusion is not accidental. The Bilderberg high-priests are a force against good, out to wipe morality from the earth. For the organisers Bilderberg Conferences are an annual ideological assault by the world's most power-hungry people. Not content with owning unimaginable amounts of money and&amp;nbsp;property they want to use that wealth to acquire even more&amp;nbsp;power for themselves. Power is the most dangerous and addictive drugs known to man. The craving will only&amp;nbsp;be&amp;nbsp;satisfied when a handful of men own and control everything on earth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And just like the Nazi party in the 1930's the&amp;nbsp;global Capitalist Elite&amp;nbsp;are rising in power by peaceful means. There are some very uncomfortanble connections between Bilderberg and the Nazis through the Conference's founder Prince Bernhard. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;These crown princes&amp;nbsp;of capital&amp;nbsp;use violence at the sharp end - the destruction of dissent - the repossession of homes men and women have worked a lifetime for - needless deaths from starvation and geopolitical machinations - this violence is notable by its absence from the annual meetings. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;One can't help but wonder, when the Bilderberg organisers, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kissinger and the rest have completed their project of enclosing all global goods and services into their own hands, enclosing too the media to stop people freely discussing what they are up to. What then?? What happens when the men who would be gods turn out to be the global devils? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Who is behind Bilderberg? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bilderberg is run by a Steering Group - if you're wondering who's responsible for so much of the capital-friendly and&amp;nbsp;dissent-crushing law-making, poverty and general misery in the world this may&amp;nbsp;be the place to look. Up-to-date lists are available from the Bilderberg Secretariat&amp;lt;. This is the closest approximation to a shadow world government. And this is another hidden agenda at Bilderberg. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There may be other groups pulling the strings behind even the Steering Group possibly even high degree occult groups such as The Masons or Illuminati! [eg.] &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There must certainly be some sociopathic minds behind Bilderberg since they go to so much trouble to promote policies that lead to exploitation, inequality and despair. These individuals&amp;nbsp;seem oddly switched off from the suffering they are causing. Surely only pernicious&amp;nbsp;people would want to control the ideology of the world's mainstream press, and undermine natural political discourse. Public opinion and democratic institutions are a threat when you want to own the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;perverse objective&amp;nbsp;of the Bilderberg Steering Group is to dress totalitarian corporate ideology up to appear rational and push it out for mass consumption without anyone knowing where these 'inevitable' ideas have come from.&amp;nbsp;Meanwhile, outside the Bilder-bubble, globalisation is&amp;nbsp;on the loose with&amp;nbsp;free-reign to&amp;nbsp;destroy our Earth and our spirit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: #38761d;"&gt;source:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bilderberg.org/bilder.htm" linkindex="34"&gt;http://www.bilderberg.org/bilder.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890926287375950554-4210060896112665025?l=redpillsociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/feeds/4210060896112665025/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890926287375950554&amp;postID=4210060896112665025&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/4210060896112665025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890926287375950554/posts/default/4210060896112665025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redpillsociety.blogspot.com/2010/02/bilderberg-conferences-secret-lobbying.html' title='Bilderberg Conferences Secret lobbying by western Power Elite'/><author><name>Sparkle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05387399708185284317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCXZEc705fw/TVByEkTNwdI/AAAAAAAAASI/SIE8H4tFbB8/s220/ugcmusicblog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890926287375950554.post-4287812880777853661</id><published>2010-02-06T03:52:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T04:25:37.358-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Important Information to Know'/><title type='text'>People Checkmate</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I guarantee that after reading this article, all you can say is......WOW! Especially if you didn't know half the things mentioned were even happening. If you DID know, you'll still say it just by the way the author put everything together. He definitely leaves you with a lot to think about after reading. Do yourself a favor, check out the article and then make it a point to check out the links. You'll be glad you did. :-)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Also here's a SIDE NOTE:&lt;/span&gt; Some of the links provided are no longer any good, this article was written in 2001 so it's pretty old, that was 9 years ago. By now some of the articles and pages have been taken down for whatever reasons, but don't trip you have the gist of what the man is saying and if you want to do further research all you have to do is GOOGLE the titles of the links and Im sure you'll find something on the toipc.....this is why I left the busted links in this post, so you'd have guidelines as to what to search for. I also left you notes so that you could identify the links that were no good. Now go gain that KNOWLEDGE!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;People Checkmate&lt;br /&gt;by Citizen "joe 6pk" Amer I CAN &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;My article and links today are quite scary. If you are faint of heart and do not wish to know the true facts of the "global village" you live in today, read no further. This is a follow up piece to the article I wrote last summer titled "Gun Owners Checkmate" .  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am going to take you beyond Echelon and Carnivore. The Orwellian 1984 spook / spy programs of NSA and FBI respectively. For this is now 2001. Our village today is part of the real New World Order. Once known under names like united States of America, USA or US. Today our country could better be referred to as United Socialist States of AmeriKa or USSA inc. In this UN state (nation), if you wave Ol' Glory, are patriotic and God fearing, you could become a suspect. (unless it has gold fringe of course). You see, the USSA is steered by Corporations, NGO's, UN and traitorous bureaucrats with plenty of "Diversity" . If you are politically incorrect and lack diversity, you could be in big trouble ! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For this article lets use YOU as an example. Let's profile YOU as one of those real life wacko's as follows: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Loves and serves God and Country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Goes to church. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Owns guns and thinks of it as a RIGHT instead of a privilege. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Loves his or her spouse and refuses to take on a fling with a same sex partner.( Like popularized on TV/movies,mags.,schools etc..) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you are profiled. It is easy to see you are politically incorrect and lack that required diversity, needed to function in today's Utopia. The UN's big brother program decides you have need for watching. You could well become a link in a terrorist organization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now since it was YOU we have profiled. Let's say you wrote this very article, as well as others in the past that were critical of the government.( USSA or UN ). That means that the plane in link # 26 below is flying over your house instead of mine. (Say I like the way this article is going for a change;-)) You quickly research and find out the plane is a high tech surveillance craft known as a RC-135 Rivet Joint. You take the many overflights as a compliment your article research is paying off.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unknown to you the government has put into your "file" that you are a member of the radical Freeman Society. No such group exists, but the lackey's in the global village international police organizations( i.e..your local Sheriff / PD) don't know that. Therefor you deserve extra scrutiny. You must be the enemy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the "old days" they might tail you. In today's hi-tech world, that's not necessary. You and the family decide on a day out. You stop by the burger joint for a quick bite (on camera). You go to Wal-Mart to shop (on camera ). You are watched closely as you examine the goods to make sure you don't get stuck with Chinese or Mexican junk. You swell with pride having finally found an item or two labeled, made in the USA. You are happy mostly because, you are oblivious to the fact those items were made in local prisons by people just like you. On the way home (in your smart car) down route 11  on camera ) onto ITS interstate 75 ( on camera ) you decide to go see Aunt Lu Lu at the hospital (on camera ).(see links 4-10 below). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While driving home down ITS interstate 75 (on camera yet again) you hear a special news bulletin on the radio ( controlled media channel ). Traffic has come to a screeching halt in a massive jam up. "Authorities" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International Monetary Fund authorized FEMA, FBI, ATF, IRS, Secret Service, US Police &amp;amp; Marshals and UN Military AGENTS) have declared a state of martial law. All publicly owned weapons are to be turned in to the "authorities" immediately. Additionally all members of the subversive Freeman Society, Patriots League, Gun Bearers Assoc., America Militia Corps etc. are to surrender immediately. Your family looks at each other in stark horror. You look for a way out of the traffic. Darn it, why did they put those concrete dividers in the highway? You decide to ease onto and ride the shoulder. Up ahead before the next exit, you see military check/chokepoints. You decide to chance it, you gun your engine and go around on the grass. Suddenly your vehicle shakes and looses power. (see ray gun patent at bottom of links). An ordinance rocks the vehicle. You and family quickly exit but are hit with a sticky goo substance. Somehow you manage to escape on foot across the hill overlooking the ITS interstate. You look back to see other vehicles trapped by the Vehicle Arrester ( see link # 28 ). You hide in the Crape Myrtle's, knowing that will help shield you from the heat sensing helicopters. You look in disbelief as un-manned military vehicles patrol the roadways.( see link #'s1-5 ). Soon a voice screams orders to surrender. You look around, hopelessly surrounded. You are quickly thrown down, boot stomped and searched, before being yanked to your feet. A blue helmeted Sergeant laughs and asked; you didn't think you could escape now did you? But how did you find me; you ask? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since you are writing this, I will give you some options on ending it. Did they find you by: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Satellites that can tell if that quarter in your hand is heads or tails.( see link # 24 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. US Patent # 6,100,806 ( see bottom of links ) ( use US pat office search for more detail ). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. That biochip they gave with your flu vaccine was read by electronics included with the on side road cams. All is connected with GPS. ( see link #'s 20 to 23 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Frequencies in your head. ( see link #'s 17-18 ) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now some might be thinking this is a work of fiction since YOU and I wrote it. I assure everyone this is all too real. Yes I could have written many different scenarios and added hundreds more links. But this is tough enough to handle for now. I advise YOU to check out completely these links, including the ones I didn't use in the article itself (below). Sadly you will find our country in worse shape than you ever imagined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE join me in saving this once great republic. Educate others, buy more firearms, speak out NOW !!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe Burton&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;References and Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jointrobotics.com/Programs/" linkindex="32" target="links"&gt;# 1  Un-manned Military Vehicles- Coming to a Smart Highway Near You? &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(Article Gone)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/people/arankin/98.auvsi/slide005.JPG" linkindex="33" target="links"&gt;# 2  Un-manned off road demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nosc.mil/robots/land/mdars/auvsjohn.html" linkindex="34" target="links"&gt;# 3  Robotics Military&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.computer.org/intelligent/articles/intelligent_vehicles.htm" linkindex="35" target="links"&gt;# 4  Intelligent Vehicle Applications WORLDWIDE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globaltelematics.com/index.html" linkindex="36" target="links"&gt;# 5  Important Learning - Global Telematics &amp;amp;

They've done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility, and they've done so in the midst of war and depression, at moments of great strife and great struggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's tempting to look back on these moments and assume that our progress was inevitable, that America was always destined to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when the Union was turned back at Bull Run and the Allies first landed at Omaha Beach, victory was very much in doubt. When the market crashed on Black Tuesday and civil rights marchers were beaten on Bloody Sunday, the future was anything but certain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These were the times that tested the courage of our convictions and the strength of our union. And despite all our divisions and disagreements, our hesitations and our fears, America prevailed because we chose to move forward as one nation, as one people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, we are tested. And again, we must answer history's call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One year ago, I took office amid two wars, an economy rocked by a severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt. Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we acted, immediately and aggressively. And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the devastation remains: One in 10 Americans still can't find work. Many businesses have shuttered. Home values have declined. Small towns and rural communities have been hit especially hard. And for those who'd already known poverty, life has become that much harder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This recession has also compounded the burdens that America's families have been dealing with for decades, the burden of working harder and longer for less, of being unable to save enough to retire or help kids with college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I know the anxieties that are out there right now. They're not new. These struggles are the reason I ran for president. These struggles are what I've witnessed for years in places like Elkhart, Indiana, Galesburg, Illinois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear about them in the letters that I read each night. The toughest to read are those written by children, asking why they have to move from their home, asking when their mom or dad will be able to go back to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For these Americans and so many others, change has not come fast enough. Some are frustrated; some are angry. They don't understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded, but hard work on Main Street isn't, or why Washington has been unable or unwilling to solve any of our problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're tired of the partisanship and the shouting and the pettiness. They know we can't afford it, not now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we face big and difficult challenges. And what the American people hope -- what they deserve -- is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences, to overcome the numbing weight of our politics, for while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same, the aspirations they hold are shared: a job that pays the bills, a chance to get ahead, most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what else they share? They share a stubborn resilience in the face of adversity. After one of the most difficult years in our history, they remain busy building cars and teaching kids, starting businesses and going back to school. They're coaching Little League and helping their neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One woman wrote to me and said, "We are strained but hopeful, struggling but encouraged."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's because of this spirit -- this great decency and great strength -- that I have never been more hopeful about America's future than I am tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite -- despite our hardships, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not quit. We do not allow fear or division to break our spirit. In this new decade, it's time the American people get a government that matches their decency, that embodies their strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And tonight -- tonight, I'd like to talk about how together we can deliver on that promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It begins with our economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our most urgent -- our most urgent task upon taking office was to shore up the same banks that helped cause this crisis. It was not easy to do. And if there's one thing that has unified Democrats and Republicans -- and everybody in between -- it's that we all hated the bank bailout. I hated it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hated it. I hated it. You hated it. It was about as popular as a root canal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I ran for president, I promised I wouldn't just do what was popular, I would do what was necessary. And if we had allowed the meltdown of the financial system, unemployment might be double what it is today. More businesses would certainly have closed; more homes would have surely been lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I supported the last administration's efforts to create the financial rescue program. And when we took that program over, we made it more transparent and more accountable. And as a result, the markets are now stabilized, and we've recovered most of the money we spent on the banks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most, but not all. To recover the rest, I've proposed a fee on the biggest banks. Now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I know Wall Street isn't keen on this idea, but if these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again, they can afford a modest fee to pay back the taxpayers who rescued them in their time of need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as we stabilized the financial system, we also took steps to get our economy growing again, save as many jobs as possible, and help Americans who'd become unemployed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why we extended or increased unemployment benefits for more than 18 million Americans, made health insurance 65 percent cheaper for families who get their coverage through COBRA, and passed 25 different tax cuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let me repeat: We cut taxes. We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families. We cut taxes for small businesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We cut taxes for first-time homebuyers. We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children. We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I'd get some applause on that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, millions of Americans had more to spend on gas and food and other necessities, all of which helped businesses keep more workers. And we haven't raised income taxes by a single dime on a single person, not a single dime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, because of the steps we took, there are about 2 million Americans working right now who would otherwise be unemployed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two-hundred-thousand work in construction and clean energy. Three-hundred-thousand are teachers and other education workers. Tens of thousands are cops, firefighters, correctional officers, first responders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we're on track to add another 1.5 million jobs to this total by the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan that has made all of this possible, from the tax cuts to the jobs, is the Recovery Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right, the Recovery Act, also known as the stimulus bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economists on the left and the right say this bill has helped saved jobs and avert disaster, but you don't have to take their word for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to the small business in Phoenix that will triple its workforce because of the Recovery Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to the window manufacturer in Philadelphia who said he used to be skeptical about the Recovery Act, until he had to add two more work shifts just because of the business it created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to the single teacher raising two kids who was told by her principal in the last week of school that, because of the Recovery Act, she wouldn't be laid off after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are stories like this all across America. And after two years of recession, the economy is growing again. Retirement funds have started to gain back some of their value. Businesses are beginning to invest again, and slowly, some are starting to hire again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I realize that, for every success story, there are other stories, of men and women who wake up with the anguish of not knowing where their next paycheck will come from, who send out resumes week after week and hear nothing in response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why jobs must be our No. 1 focus in 2010, and that's why I'm calling for a new jobs bill tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the true engine of job creation in this country will always be America's businesses...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... but government can create the conditions necessary for businesses to expand and hire more workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should start where most new jobs do, in small businesses, companies that begin when...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... companies that begin when an entrepreneur -- when an entrepreneur takes a chance on a dream or a worker decides it's time she became her own boss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through sheer grit and determination, these companies have weathered the recession and are ready to grow. But when you talk to small-business owners in places like Allentown, Pennsylvania, or Elyria, Ohio, you find out that even though banks on Wall Street are lending again, they're mostly lending to bigger companies. Financing remains difficult for small-business owners across the country, even though they're making a profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tonight, I'm proposing that we take $30 billion of the money Wall Street banks have repaid and use it to help community banks give small businesses the credit they need to stay afloat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also proposing a new small-business tax credit, one that will go to over 1 million small businesses who hire new workers or raise wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we're at it, let's also eliminate all capital gains taxes on small-business investment and provide a tax incentive for all large businesses and all small businesses to invest in new plants and equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, we can put Americans to work today building the infrastructure of tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From -- from the first railroads to the Interstate Highway System, our nation has always been built to compete. There's no reason Europe or China should have the fastest trains or the new factories that manufacture clean-energy products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, I'll visit Tampa, Florida, where workers will soon break ground on a new high-speed railroad funded by the Recovery Act. There are projects like that all across this country that will create jobs and help move our nation's goods, services and information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should put more Americans to work building clean-energy facilities and give...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... and give rebates to Americans who make their homes more energy efficient, which supports clean-energy jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to encourage these and other businesses to stay within our borders, it is time to finally slash the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and give those tax breaks to companies that create jobs right here in the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the House has passed a jobs bill that includes some of these steps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the first order of business this year, I urge the Senate to do the same, and I know they will. They will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are out of work. They're hurting. They need our help. And I want a jobs bill on my desk without delay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But -- but the truth is, these steps won't make up for the 7 million jobs that we've lost over the last two years. The only way to move to full employment is to lay a new foundation for long- term economic growth and finally address the problems that America's families have confronted for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can't afford another so-called economic "expansion" like the one from last decade, what some call the "lost decade," where jobs grew more slowly than during any prior expansion, where the income of the average American household declined while the cost of health care and tuition reached record highs, where prosperity was built on a housing bubble and financial speculation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the day I took office, I've been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious, such effort would be too contentious. I've been told that our political system is too gridlocked and that we should just put things on hold for a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait? How long should America put its future on hold? You see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, Washington has been telling us to wait for decades, even as the problems have grown worse. Meanwhile, China's not waiting to revamp its economy; Germany's not waiting; India's not waiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These nations, they're not standing still. These nations aren't playing for second place. They're putting more emphasis on math and science. They're rebuilding their infrastructure. They're making serious investments in clean energy because they want those jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I do not accept second place for the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As hard as it may be, as uncomfortable and contentious as the debates may become, it's time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, one place to start is serious financial reform. Look, I'm not interested in punishing banks. I'm interested in protecting our economy. A strong, healthy financial market makes it possible for businesses to access credit and create new jobs. It channels the savings of families into investments that raise incomes. But that can only happen if we guard against the same recklessness that nearly brought down our entire economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to make sure consumers and middle-class families have the information they need to make financial decisions. We can't allow financial institutions, including those that take your deposits, to take risks that threaten the whole economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the House has already passed financial reform with many of these changes. And -- and the lobbyists are trying to kill it. Well, we cannot let them win this fight. And if the bill that ends up on my desk does not meet the test of real reform, I will send it back until we get it right. We've got to get it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, we need to encourage American innovation. Last year, we made the largest investment in basic research funding in history, an investment -- an investment that could lead to the world's cheapest solar cells or treatment that kills cancer cells but leaves healthy ones untouched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And no area is more ripe for such innovation than energy. You can see the results of last year's investments in clean energy in the North Carolina company that will create 1,200 jobs nationwide, helping to make advanced batteries, or in the California business that will put 1,000 people to work making solar panels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to create more of these clean-energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives, and that means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean-coal technologies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, yes, it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm grateful to the House for passing such a bill last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this year -- this year, I'm eager to help advance the bipartisan effort in the Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know there have been questions about whether we can afford such changes in a tough economy. I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But -- but here's the thing. Even if you doubt the evidence, providing incentives for energy efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future, because the nation that leads the clean-energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy, and America must be that nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, we need to export more of our goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the more products we make and sell to other countries, the more jobs we support right here in America. So...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tonight, we set a new goal: We will double our exports over the next five years, an increase that will support 2 million jobs in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help meet this goal, we're launching a National Export Initiative that will help farmers and small businesses increase their exports and reform export controls consistent with national security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to seek new markets aggressively, just as our competitors are. If America sits on the sidelines while other nations sign trade deals, we will lose the chance to create jobs on our shores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But realizing those benefits also means enforcing those agreements so our trading partners play by the rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's why we'll continue to shape a Doha trade agreement that opens global markets and why we will strengthen our trade relations in Asia and with key partners like South Korea, and Panama, and Colombia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, we need to invest in the skills and education of our people. Now, this year -- this year, we've broken through the stalemate between left and right by launching a national competition to improve our schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the idea here is simple: Instead of rewarding failure, we only reward success. Instead of funding the status quo, we only invest in reform, reform that raises student achievement, inspires students to excel in math and science, and turns around failing schools that steal the future of too many young Americans, from rural communities to the inner city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 21st century, the best anti-poverty program around is a world-class education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in this country, the success of our children cannot depend more on where they live than on their potential. When we renew the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, we will work with Congress to expand these reforms to all 50 states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, in this economy, a high school diploma no longer guarantees a good job. That's why I urge the Senate to follow the House and pass a bill that will revitalize our community colleges, which are a career pathway to the children of so many working families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make college more affordable, this bill will finally end the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies that go to banks for student loans. Instead, let's take that money and give families a $10,000 tax credit for four years of college and increase Pell Grants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And let's tell another 1 million students that, when they graduate, they will be required to pay only 10 percent of their income on student loans, and all of their debt will be forgiven after 20 years, and forgiven after 10 years if they choose a career in public service, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, by the way, it's time for colleges and universities to get serious about cutting their own costs, because they, too, have a responsibility to help solve this problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the price of college tuition is just one of the burdens facing the middle class. That's why last year I asked Vice President Biden to chair a task force on middle-class families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why we're nearly doubling the childcare tax credit and making it easier to save for retirement by giving access to every worker a retirement account and expanding the tax credit for those who start a nest egg. That's why we're working to lift the value of a family's single largest investment, their home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The steps we took last year to shore up the housing market have allowed millions of Americans to take out new loans and save an average of $1,500 on mortgage payments. This year, we will step up refinancing so that homeowners can move into more affordable mortgages. And...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it is precisely to relieve the burden on middle-class families that we still need health insurance reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let's clear a few things up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't choose to tackle this issue to get some legislative victory under my belt. And by now, it should be fairly obvious that I didn't take on health care because it was good politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took on health care because of the stories I've heard, from Americans with pre-existing conditions whose lives depend on getting coverage, patients who've been denied coverage, families, even those with insurance, who are just one illness away from financial ruin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After nearly a century of trying -- Democratic administrations, Republican administrations -- we are closer than ever to bringing more security to the lives of so many Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The approach we've taken would protect every American from the worst practices of the insurance industry. It would give small businesses and uninsured Americans a chance to choose an affordable health care plan in a competitive market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would require every insurance plan to cover preventive care. And by the way, I want to acknowledge our first lady, Michelle Obama, who this year is creating a national movement to tackle the epidemic of childhood obesity and make kids healthier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, honey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She gets embarrassed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our approach would preserve the right of Americans who have insurance to keep their doctor and their plan. It would reduce costs and premiums for millions of families and businesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And according to the Congressional Budget Office, the independent organization that both parties have cited as the official scorekeeper for Congress, our approach would bring down the deficit by as much as $1 trillion over the next two decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, this is a complex issue. And the longer it was debated, the more skeptical people became. I take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the American people. And I know that with all the lobbying and horse-trading, this process left most Americans wondering, "What's in it for me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I also know this problem is not going away. By the time I'm finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance. Millions will lose it this year. Our deficit will grow. Premiums will go up. Patients will be denied the care they need. Small-business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will not walk away from these Americans, and neither should the people in this chamber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As temperatures cool, I want everyone to take another look at the plan we've proposed. There's a reason why many doctors, nurses and health care experts who know our system best consider this approach a vast improvement over the status quo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me know. Let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm eager to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what I ask Congress, though: Don't walk away from reform, not now, not when we are so close. Let us find a way to come together and finish the job for the American people. Let's get it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, even as health care reform would reduce our deficit, it's not enough to dig us out of a massive fiscal hole in which we find ourselves. It's a challenge that makes all others that much harder to solve and one that's been subject to a lot of political posturing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let me start the discussion of government spending by setting the record straight. At the beginning of the last decade, the year 2000, America had a budget surplus of over $200 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By -- by the time I took office, we had a one-year deficit of over $1 trillion and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade. Most of this was the result of not paying for two wars, two tax cuts, and an expensive prescription drug program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of that, the effects of the recession put a $3 trillion hole in our budget. All this was before I walked in the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now -- just stating the facts. Now, if we had taken office in ordinary times, I would have liked nothing more than to start bringing down the deficit. But we took office amid a crisis, and our efforts to prevent a second depression have added another $1 trillion to our national debt. That, too, is a fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm absolutely convinced that was the right thing to do, but families across the country are tightening their belts and making tough decisions. The federal government should do the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tonight, I'm proposing specific steps to pay for the $1 trillion that it took to rescue the economy last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will not be affected, but all other discretionary government programs will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't. And if I have to enforce this discipline by veto, I will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will continue to go through the budget line by line, page by page, to eliminate programs that we can't afford and don't work. We've already identified $20 billion in savings for next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help working families, we'll extend our middle-class tax cuts. But at a time of record deficits, we will not continue tax cuts for oil companies, for investment fund managers, and for those making over $250,000 a year. We just can't afford it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, even after paying for what we spent on my watch, we'll still face the massive deficit we had when I took office. More importantly, the cost of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will continue to skyrocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why I've called for a bipartisan Fiscal Commission, modeled on a proposal by Republican Judd Gregg and Democrat Kent Conrad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can't be one of those Washington gimmicks that lets us pretend we solved a problem. The commission will have to provide a specific set of solutions by a certain deadline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission. So I'll issue an executive order that will allow us to go forward, because I refuse to pass this problem on to another generation of Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when the vote comes tomorrow, the Senate should restore the pay-as-you-go law that was a big reason for why we had record surpluses in the 1990s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I know that some in my own party will argue that we can't address the deficit or freeze government spending when so many are still hurting. And I agree, which is why this freeze won't take effect until next year, when the economy is stronger. That's how budgeting works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But understand -- understand, if we don't take meaningful steps to rein in our debt, it could damage our markets, increase the cost of borrowing, and jeopardize our recovery, all of which would have an even worse effect on our job growth and family incomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From some on the right, I expect we'll hear a different argument, that if we just make fewer investments in our people, extend tax cuts, including those for the wealthier Americans, eliminate more regulations, maintain the status quo on health care, our deficits will go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is, that's what we did for eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what helped us into this crisis. It's what helped lead to these deficits. We can't do it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it's time to try something new. Let's invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let's meet our responsibility to the citizens who sent us here. Let's try common sense, a novel concept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, to do that, we have to recognize that we face more than a deficit of dollars right now. We face a deficit of trust, deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To close that credibility gap, we have to take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, to end the outsized influence of lobbyists, to do our work openly, to give our people the government they deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what I came to Washington to do. That's why, for the first time in history, my administration posts our White House visitors online. That's why we've excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we can't stop there. It's time to require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my administration or with Congress. It's time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due deference to separation of powers, last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests or, worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people. And I urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also calling on Congress to continue down the path of earmark reform, Democrats and Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats and Republicans, you've trimmed some of this spending. You've embraced some meaningful change, but restoring the public trust demands more. For example, some members of Congress post some earmark requests online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight, I'm calling on Congress to publish all earmark requests on a single Web site before there's a vote so that the American people can see how their money is being spent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, none of these reforms will even happen if we don't also reform how we work with one another. Now, I'm not naive. I never thought that the mere fact of my election would usher in peace and harmony and some post-partisan era.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew that both parties have fed divisions that are deeply entrenched. And on some issues, there are simply philosophical differences that will always cause us to part ways. These disagreements, about the role of government in our lives, about our national priorities and our national security, they've been taking place for over 200 years. They're the very essence of our democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day. We can't wage a perpetual campaign where the only goal is to see who can get the most embarrassing headlines about the other side, a belief that if you lose, I win. Neither party should delay or obstruct every single bill just because they can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The confirmation of...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm speaking of both parties now. The confirmation of well-qualified public servants shouldn't be held hostage to the pet projects or grudges of a few individual senators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington may think that saying anything about the other side, no matter how false, no matter how malicious, is just part of the game. But it's precisely such politics that has stopped either party from helping the American people. Worse yet -- worse yet, it's sowing further division among our citizens, further distrust in our government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, no, I will not give up on trying to change the tone of our politics. I know it's an election year. And after last week, it's clear that campaign fever has come even earlier than usual. But we still need to govern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades and the people expect us to solve problems, not run for the hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if the Republican leadership is going to insist that 60 votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town, a supermajority, then the responsibility to govern is now yours, as well. Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it's not leadership. We were sent here to serve our citizens, not our ambitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's show the American people that we can do it together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(APPLAUSE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week -- this week, I'll be addressing a meeting of the House Republicans. I'd like to begin monthly meetings with both Democratic and Republican leadership. I know you can't wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, throughout our history, no issue has united this country more than our securi
