“Our elitist globalists are in the process of destroying our financial system to eliminate the nation-state system and impose a global, corporatist, and fascist dictatorship over the entire world. This time it’s just not Germany and Italy that is to become fascist, it is the whole world if the Illuminists and Europe’s Black Nobility have their way”  -- Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster, December 3, 2008.

This ALERT is regarding the MORPHING of REAL ID in to the PASS ACT.

Rolling Stone expose: Goldman Sachs behind every market crash since 1920s

America's Effective Unemployment Rate at 18.7%?

By Steve Clemons, TheWashingtonNote.com, July 2, 2009

 

Each month, I receive from Leo Hindery an update on "America's effective unemployment rate" which includes not only the official unemployment figures but other data points showing off-the-books unemployed or underemployed people.  But now, I have been hearing more and more from senior Obama economic team members about the jobs they hoped for coming at the very tail end of an economic recovery. Others are talking about a GDP recovery -- but not a jobs recovery. They are admitting as well that they underestimated the severity of this recession and its impact on unemployment levels.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

The “Spirit of Humanity”

By Paul Craig Roberts, InformationClearingHouse.info, July 1, 2009

 

On June 30, the government of Israel committed an act of piracy when the Israeli Navy in international waters illegally boarded the “Spirit of Humanity,” kidnapped its 21-person crew from 11 countries, including former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Laureate Mairead MaGuire, and confiscated the cargo of medical supplies, olive trees, reconstruction materials, and children’s toys that were on the way to the Mediterranean coast of Gaza. The “Spirit of Humanity,” along with the kidnapped 21 persons, is being towed to Israel as I write.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

The Fourth of July Is a Celebration of Agitation

By Jim Hightower, Creators.com, July 1, 2009

 

Are you an agitator? You know, one of those people who won't leave well enough alone, who's always questioning authority and trying to stir things up.

 

If so, the Powers That Be detest you — you ... you ... "agitator!" They spit the term out as a pejorative to brand anyone who dares to challenge the established order. "Oh," they scoff, "our people didn't mind living next to that toxic waste dump until those environmental agitators got them upset." Corporate chieftains routinely wail that "our workers were perfectly happy until those union agitators started messing with their minds."  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Clean Energy and Security Act brings auditors into your home

By Tony Pacheco, Examinar.com, July 1, 2009

 

H.R. 2454 is a 1400-page promise to audit every aspect of your home and life under the guise of creating jobs, clean energy and a sustainable world. However, before we get into the bill lets examine the way it’s been handled.  The secrecy of the bill and the speed of which the legislation is being railroaded is quite alarming. The last two times I’ve seen this was with the Patriot Act and TARP legislation.  FULL ARTICLE=>

In 2006 an interesting motion picture appeared via Universal Studios: “The Constant Gardener”, starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. The script, written based on the fictional work by author John Le Carre, has all the classic Illuminati elements: corrupt British government officials and money hungry corporate elites manipulate pharmaceutical interests in South Africa such that 62 innocent poor South Africans who live in an AIDS stricken local region die during drug trials to test a new drug for treatment of tuberculosis.  FULL ARTICLE=>

New Flu Vaccine Appoved --- for Dogs

By Donald G. McNeil, Jr, New York Times, June 29, 2009

 

There is a new flu virus going around. It initially looked quite lethal, and caused panic. Now it is clear that it has killed relatively few victims — and many of those have underlying conditions. It is particularly dangerous to be the possessor of a pushed-in nose — that is, to be a Pekingese, a pug or a Shi-Tzu.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Color Revolutions, Old and New

By Stephen Lendman, GlobalResearch.ca, July 1, 2009

 

After Iran's June 12 election, days of street protests and clashes with Iranian security forces followed. Given Washington's history of stoking tensions and instability in the region, its role in more recent color revolutions, and its years of wanting regime change in Iran, analysts have strong reasons to suspect America is behind post-election turbulence and one-sided Western media reports claiming electoral fraud and calling for a new vote, much like what happened in Georgia and Ukraine.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Pre-Industrial CO2 Levels were About the Same as Today: How and Why We are Told Otherwise?

How many failed predictions, discredited assumptions and evidence of incorrect data are required before an idea loses credibility? CO2 is not causing warming or climate change. It is not a toxic substance or a pollutant. Despite this President Elect Obama met with Al Gore on December 9 no doubt to plan a climate change strategy based on these problems. They make any plan to reduce of CO2 completely unnecessary.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Sen. Inhofe Calls for Inquiry Into ‘Suppressed’ Climate Change Report

By Judson Berger, Fox News, June 30, 2009

 

A top Republican senator has ordered an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency’s alleged suppression of a report that questioned the science behind global warming.  The 98-page report, co-authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin, pushed back on the prospect of regulating gases like carbon dioxide as a way to reduce global warming. Carlin’s report argued that the information the EPA was using was out of date, and that even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Mike Huckabee was asked last Saturday on Fox News why Congress ignored public feedback on this legislation, he said that they know they can get away with it and they don’t care. FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Worldwide Depression: Review of Global Markets

By Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster, Infowars.com, June 30, 2009

 

As you have already seen this is a worldwide depression and no one will escape. Europe’s economy is already in a shambles as is the US economy. Inflation will rage all over the world, because every nation has created massive amounts of money and credit as demanded by US and British elitists. They have all overmedicated the patient. As the Broadway hit play of many years ago told us, we are going to have to go through a “Period of Adjustment.” Some nations will get off easier than others. There will be no decoupling and many nations could have revolutions.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

The Great Bank Robbery: How the Federal Reserve is destroying America

By Robert Bridge, GlobalResearch.ca, June 30, 2009

 

As global leaders struggle to rescue their nations from economic breakdown, the legitimacy of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is under attack. Perhaps the problem lies with the Fed.

A large part of the “super” in the American superpower is based on the modern creed of liberal democracy, which serves as the motor of free-market capitalism. And the lubricant that keeps this colossal machine humming at full speed 24/7 is the US dollar. So before we risk any conjectures on the future prospects of America’s versatile banknote, which presently serves as the ‘world’s reserve currency,’ perhaps we should know more about who controls it.  FULL ARTICLE=>

The Emperor's Seven Signing Statements

Lawless detention is the least of it. State secrets and warrantless spying scrape the surface. Drone attacks and ongoing torture begin to touch it.

Signing statements eliminate congress. Not that congress objects. Asking congress to reclaim its power produces nervous giggles.  FULL ARTICLE=>

The court, in an order Monday, is leaving in place the ruling of a federal appeals court that the country and the princes are protected by sovereign immunity, which generally means that foreign countries can't be sued in American courts.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Preparing for Civil Unrest

By Claire Wolfe, Backwoods Home Magazine, June 29, 2009

 

The most remarkable thing about civil unrest is that there hasn't been more of it. Politicians are making a hash of this country—and much of the rest of the civilized world. We know it. They know it. They know we know it. But we don't feel we can do anything much to stop them. That right there is the pre-condition for civil unrest—when people are frustrated and politicians are nervous.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Guns for Home Defense

By Chuck Hawks, ChuckHawks.com

 

As they say, the first rule of gunfights is to bring a gun, so any home defense firearm is better than none. But some guns are better for the purpose than others. Let's take a look at the most common options.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Handguns for Home Defense

By Chuck Hawks, ChuckHawks.com

 

Handguns are the most popular firearms for home defense. A pistol is handy indoors and can be conveniently concealed almost anywhere in the home, ready for use. It is the easiest of all guns to retain in a hand to hand struggle. It can be fired from either hand in an emergency situation. (This is especially true of revolvers). Centerfire pistols and revolvers from approximately 9mm/.38 caliber on up, assuming appropriate ammunition is chosen, offer good stopping power for indoor home defense without the extreme risk of over penetration of a deer rifle. They are much less likely to severely damage the home you are trying to protect than a shotgun. For all of these reasons handguns are the first choice of the majority of experts for home defense.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Choose Your Ammo…Police Style

By Massad Ayoob, Backwoods Home Magazine

 

One of our greatest modern gun experts, Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, USMC, Ret., once made the observation that the bullet is more important than the gun. The gun, he explained, is merely the launcher. It is the bullet that actually does the job. This is true for an armed citizen’s home defense gun, as surely as it is for the battle weapon of one of Col. Cooper’s brother Marines. Ditto for the police officer’s ammunition. And ditto again for the bullet a rural American citizen uses to harvest game for the family table.   FULL ARTICLE=>

 

How to Shoot a Handgun Accurately

By Massad Ayoob, Backwoods Home Magazine

 

“I want you to do an article on how to shoot a handgun accurately,” Dave Duffy told me. “Make it 2,500 or 3,000 words.”  Long ago, I would have answered, “Sure, and while I’m at it, how about a history of the world in, oh, 10,000 words or so?”  Today, with more than 45 years of handgunning behind me (yeah, I’m old, but I started early, too) I realize that you actually can cover this topic in a fairly short article. The reason is found in the classic statement of Ray Chapman, the first world champion of the combat pistol. “Shooting well is simple,” Ray said, “it just isn’t easy.”  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Body Language and Threat Recognition

By Massad Ayoob, Backwoods Home Magazine

 

Reader mail indicates that while some Backwoods Home readers turn to this column for advice on putting wild game on the table or keeping four-footed poachers out of the garden, others are more interested in firearms for self-defense in lonely places. And, of course, there are readers who are concerned with family protection but don’t like guns. Let’s speak in particular to the latter two groups this issue. We’ll get away from firearms this trip, and look at something else related to personal safety: recognition of pre-assaultive behavior cues.  FULL ARTICLE=>

President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was ousted by the army on Sunday, capping months of tensions over his efforts to lift presidential term limits.  In the first military coup in Central America since the end of the cold war, soldiers stormed the presidential palace in the capital, Tegucigalpa, early in the morning, disarming the presidential guard, waking Mr. Zelaya and putting him on a plane to Costa Rica.  FULL ARTICLE=>

At least two leaders of the coup launched in Honduras today were apparently trained at a controversial Department of Defense school based at Fort Benning, Georgia infamous for producing graduates linked to torture, death squads and other human rights abuses. 

 

Leftist President Manuel Zelaya was kidnapped and transported to Costa Rica this morning after a growing controversy over a vote concerning term limits. Over the last week, Zelaya clashed with and eventually dismissed General Romeo Vasquez -- who is now reportedly in charge of the armed forces that abducted the Honduran president.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Inoculations: The True Weapons Of Mass Destruction

By Rebecca Carley, M.D., Inforwars.com, June 28. 2009

 

“One basic truth can be used as a foundation for a mountain of lies, and if we dig down deep enough in the mountain of lies, and bring out that truth, to set it on top of the mountain of lies; the entire mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of that one truth. And there is nothing more devastating to a structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to follow, awakening even those people who had no desire to be awakened to the truth.” (by Delamar Duvaris as written in the preface of “Behold the Pale Horse” by William Cooper).  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Summer is here! Barbeque with Care! 

From Dr. Tenpenny’s Newsletter, June 29, 2009

 A summer barbeque with family and friends American national pastime. With more people staying at home for their vacations, outdoor events are more common than ever.

 

However, eating charred, well-done meat on a regular basis may increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by up to 60%, according to findings from a University of Minnesota study presented at the annual American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) meeting in Denver, Colorado.

 

The link between eating well-done meat and pancreatic cancer risk has been noted before. This study investigates the association on a larger scale. 
 
Cooking meats well-done at high temperatures that burn the amino acids in meat creates chemicals called heterocyclic amines, or HAs.  HAs also turn up in meat that is grilled, barbecued and pan-fried meat.

 

An tip for decreasing the amount of HAs found in grilled meat is to add cinnamon and rosemary while cooking. Also, eat the meat with a large portion of fresh, colorful veggies. (Vegans and vegetarians would say you could avoid this problem altogether by skipping the meat!)

Six Good Reasons to Avoid the Flu Shot

By Sheryl Miller, NaturalNews.com, October 27, 2008

 

Every year it is recommended that people get a flu shot to avoid spending time feeling horrendously bad over the winter. Elderly people are especially warned that without a flu shot, their health could be in serious jeopardy. In recent years, this warning has been extended to children, and more recently even teenagers. Yet there is mounting evidence that flu shots do not guarantee a healthy winter, and in fact they cause far more harm than good.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

The Swine Flu Fiasco

Archie Kalokerinos M.D., Whale.to

 

In 1976 I was working in the far north of Australia amongst Aborigines. I observed, in one community of only a few hundred people, when they were given the flu vaccine (probably the Victorian strain but this detail does not really matter because nobody outside a few selected individuals really knows what is in any particular batch), six men died suddenly soon afterwards. They were not all 'old’. One was in his early twenties. A few weeks later, in another community I found that individuals with heart or potential heart problems or diabetes were particularly likely to drop dead soon after being given the vaccine.  FULL ARTICLE=>

A Plan Comes Together: The Sheep Obey

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO,  NewsWithViews.com, May 4, 2009

In May 1, 2009, the LA Times[1] reported some amazing occurrences:

Hospitals on New York’s Long Island were scrambling to bring extra workers in to handle a 50% surge in visitors to emergency rooms.
In Galveston, Texas, the local hospital ran out of flu testing kits after being overwhelmed with patients worried about having contracted swine flu.
At Loma Linda University Medical Center near San Bernardino, California, emergency room workers set up tents in the parking lot to handle a crush of similar patients.
In Chicago, ER visits at the city's biggest children's hospital are double normal levels, setting records at the 121-year-old institution.

So far, few of the anxious patients have had more than runny noses. The most disturbing revelations about these scenarios? They knew this was the way we would respond. What was published in 2006 has become fact in 2009.

 

A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health confirmed that public health officials could easily convince most people to alter their daily lives to stem the spread of influenza. “The Pandemic Influenza Survey” documented our willingness to do what we are told after only a little hyping that a deadly global pandemic was eminent.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

A New Chance of Preventing Winter Diseases by the Administration of Synbiotic Formulations

Fabrizio Pregliasco, Giovanni Anselmi, Luigi Fonte, Francesca Giussani, Stefano Schieppati, Lidia Soletti

Department of Public Health-Microbiology-Virology, Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy, August 5, 2008.

 

The efficacy of Probiotics is currently well documented with regard to the improvement of gastrointestinal functions, whereas their potential role in the prevention of infectious respiratory diseases has not been sufficiently analyzed.  A 3-stage prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out with several synbiotic preparations containing 3 to 5 strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium lactis, lactoferrin and Prebiotics such as either FOS (short-chain fructooligosaccharides) or GOS (galactooligosaccharides).  The results of the study demonstrate that a regular, long-term intake of various synbiotics (Probiotic) may improve health by reducing the incidence and severity of respiratory diseases during the cold season.  FULL ARTICLE=>

By Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster, June 27, 2009

 

Economy in a shambles, Growth not in the equation, Fed stifles US Treasury, More powers for Fed not the answer, more ponzi schemes before the courts, real GDP shrinking this year, More power for failed regulators a serious suggestion

 

As you have already seen this is a worldwide depression and no one will escape. Europe’s economy is already in a shambles as is the US economy. Inflation will rage all over the world, because every nation has created massive amounts of money and credit as demanded by US and British elitists. They have all overmedicated the patient. As the Broadway hit play of many years ago told us, we are going to have to go through a “Period of Adjustment.” Some nations will get off easier than others. There will be no decoupling and many nations could have revolutions.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Obama's Incredible Record Of Betrayal  

By Joel Skousen Editor - World Affairs Brief in Rense.com

June 26, 2009  

 

I've lost count of how many times Barack Obama has claimed he was going to change the way Washington does business, how he was going to cut off the role of the big corporate lobbyists, stop government use of secrecy to cover for illegal actions, make government more accountable and transparent, stop corruption, and end cronyism.

 

The record indicates that all these are part of the Big Lie--a concerted effort to deceive his own followers and the nation. Only the establishment media is silent about this growing dichotomy. None of the White House press corps dares question him in public about his backtracking.

 

The Republican opposition (who backed these same evil practices when they were in power) has taken notice, but not as much as principled liberals who feel betrayed by his promises of change. This week I'll start off by reviewing the magnitude of the hypocrisy and deception. It's an impressive listing.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Connecticut Man Modifies Pickup to Run on Wood, Waste 

By Dave Collins, Associated Press, June 27. 2009

 

From the first time he saw Emmett "Doc" Brown fire up the Mr. Fusion home energy reactor in the "Back to the Future" movies, Dave Nichols has always wanted to make a vehicle run on garbage. Two decades after the trilogy, the 42-year-old home builder and auto shop owner from eastern Connecticut isn't traveling through time in a DeLorean, yet. But he's modified his 1989 Ford F150 pickup truck to run on wood, leaves, cardboard and other "biomass" with a fuel system that he says expels virtually no pollution.  FULL ARTICLE=> 

 

Inhofe Says 'Cap And Trade' will Die in Senate  

By Wayne Trotter, Pottawatomie Online, June 26, 2009

 

Passing President Obama’s “cap and trade” energy program would cost the average Oklahoma family $3,200 a year, Sen. Jim Inhofe said Friday, but he’s confident the measure will be killed in the Senate no matter what happens in the House of Representatives.  The Tulsa Republican, a longtime critic of what he considers “this hoax called global warming,” made his latest statements during a morning stop in Shawnee while House members in Washington were preparing to vote on the controversial issue.

Son of Waxman-Markey: More Politics Makes for a More Costly Bill 

by William W. Beach et al, The Heritage Foundation, June 16, 2009

 

The policy analysis reported in this paper refers to a version of Waxman-Markey that was heavily revised in committee hearings. For analysis that reflects the post-committee version of Waxman-Markey, readers should refer to Heritage Foundation WebMemo, No. 2450 "Son
of Waxman-Markey: More Politics for a More Costly Bill."

 

Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) proposed yet another global warming bill (Cap and Trade) following the tradition of McCain-Lieberman, Lieberman-Warner, Dingell-Boucher, and others. Though the proposed legislation would have little impact on world temperatures, it is a massive energy tax in disguise that promises job losses, income cuts, and a sharp left turn toward big government.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

House Passes Nightmare “Cap And Tax” Bill

Infowars.com, June 26, 2009

 

This is far worse than just a “new tax” as Republicans are complaining - this is the total takeover of the American economy by private banking interests through the carbon trading system. It is also the entrée for the complete and total subjegation of any freedoms we had left and the beginning of nightmare regulation and suffocating control over every aspect of our personal lives by millions of green stasi tasked with enforcing impossible to attain goals of 80% carbon dioxide reduction - all based on the manufactured threat of global warming.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Climate Bill Clears House in Close Vote

By: Lachlan Markay, Special to Examiner, Washington Examiner, June 26, 2009

 

The highly publicized Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill (H.R. 2454) cleared the House Friday afternoon by a roll call vote of 219 to 212.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  The bill had 900 pages a week ago and addition pages were added on subsequent days, so that when House floor vote on it was was Friday evening it contained approximately 1,200 pages.

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to give the representatives access to the bill before the vote was taken, so they ended up voting on the bill without having read it in its final form.

 

This is exactly how Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert managed to ramrod the U.S.A Patriot bill through the House for then President George W. Bush.

 

House Passes the 1,200-page Climate Bill that Congress was Not Allowed to Read

Despite heated objections by some Republicans, the unread 1,200-page Waxman-Markey climate bill was passed 219-212 in the House on Friday.  Final roll call votes are listed here.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  Now is the time to read the riot act to representatives who voted in favor of this crooked bill!  Also, it is time to start deluging U.S. Senators with mail telling them that we do not want them to a pass the bill when it is up for vote in the Senate.  The economic fallout of this bill if it becomes law will scuttle the good ship America within a few years of its implementation and impoverish its people.

Obama-Backed Plan Volunteers Americans to Pay Global Taxes

By Cliff Kincaid, WorldTribune, June 24, 2009

 

The United Nations is proceeding, with President Obama’s acquiescence, to implement a global plan to create a new international socialist order financed by global taxes on the American people. FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment: Not a new international socialist order, but instead a corporal fascist order governed from the top by officials of international banking cartel or its handpicked puppets.  It is already partially in place and when completed will have all the hallmarks of dictator Benito Mussolini’s Italian fascist state of the late 1920’s through early 1940’s but run as a profitable global business venture. 

 

Cap and Trade: A Handout for Corporations and a Huge Tax on Consumers

by Nicolas Loris and Ben Lieberman, June 10, 2009.

 

A "market-oriented" cap-and-trade program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives by Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) has had a difficult time gaining support as more people recognize that it is a significant tax on energy that will inflict a severe amount of economic pain.

 

Knowing that large taxes generate large amounts of revenue, businesses sent thousands of lobbyists to flood the halls of Congress asking for a piece of the "climate revenue" pie. With the majority of the energy tax revenue handed out to large corporations, less will be made available to the public, leaving the American consumer to pick up the costly tab.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Comment: Members of Congress may legally accept bribes as long they are called campaign fund contributions. They will continue to accept legal bribes from businesses and corporation heads for jobs well done for them year after year as long as they tow the mark for their benefactors.

 

There is no significant need for them to vote in accordance with their constituents’ requests as long as they promise to do that during their next terms in office while on the campaign trail during the months before the next election day. That’s the way politics and government are run in post JFK America, the land of the crooked and cowardly politicians and home of the passive, obedient people.

Global Warming Caused by CO2 is a Gigantic Hoax

By Phishna, Global Warming Con Blog, February 26. 2009

 

Be advised that this blog will cause massive cognitive dissonance in the true believers of global warming, have a place to lie down after reading. Water vapor is 95% of the greenhouse gases, CO2 is 3.618% and manmade CO2 is even more miniscule, only 0.117%. CO2 molecules in the atmosphere are so diffuse that is impossible for CO2 to cause global warming. Repeat: CO2 can NOT cause warming.

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  The author is a Ph.D. level chemical engineer.  The article is very well thought out and written. 

 

31,000 Scientists Reject 'Global Warming' Agenda

By Bob Unrur, WorldNetDaily.com, May 19, 2008

 

More than 31,000 scientists across the U.S. – including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties – have signed a petition rejecting "global warming," the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate.

 

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."  FULL ARTICLE=>

Environmental Effects of Increased Carbon Dioxide

Arthur B. Robinson, Noah E. Robinson, and Willie Soon

Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine

 

A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and early 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects upon Earth's weather and climate. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in hydrocarbon use and minor greenhouse gases like CO2 do not conform to current experimental knowledge. The environmental effects of rapid expansion of the nuclear and hydrocarbon energy industries are discussed.

Political leaders gathered in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 to consider a world treaty restricting human production of "greenhouse gases," chiefly carbon dioxide (CO2). They feared that CO2 would result in "human-caused global warming" – hypothetical severe increases in Earth's temperatures, with disastrous environmental consequences. During the past 10 years, many political efforts have been made to force worldwide agreement to the Kyoto treaty.

When we reviewed this subject in 1998 (1,2), existing satellite records were short and were centered on a period of changing intermediate temperature trends. Additional experimental data have now been obtained, so better answers to the questions raised by the hypothesis of "human-caused global warming" are now available.   FULL ARTICLE=>

Judge Orders Gitmo Detainee Freed

By Devlin Barrett, Associated Press, June 23, 2009

 

The discovery of suicide martyr videos seemed certain proof that Abd al Rahim Abdul Rassak was part of al-Qaida. A closer look at his video, though, showed he was actually being tortured by al-Qaida.

The confusion over the video collection found in an al-Qaida safehouse is one of the stranger twists in the unusual case of Rassak, a Guantanamo detainee. On Monday, a federal judge ordered Rassak released, chastising the government for claiming he was still part of the same terror network that tortured, imprisoned and abandoned him.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Bankster “Holiday” Planned for September?

By Kurt Nimmo, Infowars.com, June 22, 2009

 

Bob Chapman’s influential International Forecaster is reporting on the possibility of a so-called “bank holiday” planned for late August or early September. According to Chapman’s sources, U.S. embassies around the world are selling dollars and stockpiling money from respective countries where they operate.

 

“Some US embassies worldwide are being advised to purchase massive amounts of local currencies,” writes Harry Schultz, “enough to last them a year.” Schultz publishes the Harry Schultz Letter, an international investment, financial, economic, and geopolitical newsletter named as “Newsletter of the Year” by Peter Brimelow of Market Watch in 2005 and 2008.

 

Schultz believes the global elite are in the process of engineering an FDR-style “bank holiday” of undetermined length in order to “sort-out the bank mess” and impose new bank rules.

 

On March 5, 1933, in the depths of the banker engineered “Great Depression,” newly elected Franklin Roosevelt declared a “bank holiday” that forced banks closed for four days. Roosevelt then rammed the Emergency Banking Act through the legislature. Passed by Congress on March 9, the act granted FDR near dictatorial control over the dealings of banks. It also allowed the Secretary of the Treasury the power to compel every person and business in the country to relinquish their gold and accept paper currency in exchange.

 

On March 10, Roosevelt issued Executive Order No. 6073, forbidding people from sending gold overseas and forbidding banks from paying out gold. A few weeks later, on April 5, Roosevelt issued Executive Order No. 6102 ordering Americans to deliver their gold and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve bank in exchange for paper fiat money.

 

It is no secret the elite have envisioned a global currency for some time now. In 2007, the director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations stated that the dollar and the euro are but temporary currencies. “It is the market that made the dollar into global money – and what the market giveth, the market can taketh away. If the tailors balk and the dollar falls, the market may privatize money on its own,” Benn Steil pontificated.

 

More like the banksters taketh away — and not only money but national sovereignty as well because a global currency will demand an end to “monetary nationalism.”

 

Or as Richard N. Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, has said, “states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function.”

 

Mr. Schultz believes a “bank holiday” would suit the burning desires of the international bankster elite. It will lead to “nationalization,” which is a polite word for brazen thievery. It will allow the government — owned lock, stock and barrel by the global elite and run by their corrupt whores and cronies — to rape secured creditors and bondholders. Nationalization is the unfettered process of grabbing up of insurance companies, mortgage companies, banks, medical care, and car companies and handing them over to the monopoly men.

 

During the FDR “bank holiday,” Schulz notes, “thousands of banks never reopened; it was a face-saving way of shutting them down. I would guess the same would occur today; thousands have little or no net value, loaded with debt, bad mortgages.”

 

In order soften the nation up for the coming pillage, the Obama administration has proposed a plan to give the privately-owned and unaccountable Federal Reserve complete regulatory oversight across the entire U.S. economy. The new rules would see the Fed given the authority to “regulate” any company whose activity it believes could threaten the economy and the markets — that is to say if it “threatens” the monopolistic interests of the bankers.

 

“Obama’s regulatory ‘reform’ plan is nothing less than a green light for the complete and total takeover of the United States by a private banking cartel that will usurp the power of existing regulatory bodies, who are now being blamed for the financial crisis in order that their status can be abolished and their roles handed over to the all-powerful Fed,” write Paul Joseph and Steve Watson. “The government is ready to hand over everything to a monolithic private corporation and a gaggle of bastard banker offspring, that have gobbled up an amount close to the entire GDP of the country in taxpayers’ money and figuratively stuck the middle finger up regarding questions over where that money has gone.”

 

A “bank holiday” would work wonders for any “regulation” the Fed and the bankers have in mind. It would compliment the criminal consolidation now underway. It would allow them to finally and formally devalue the dollar and usher in a global “super currency” of control and enslavement.

 

A Bob Chapman subscriber added a little dinger to the prospect of the banks going dark. The subscriber claims to have overheard two men in FEMA jackets talking with a police chief in California, all who agreed that the federalization of police around the country — a process largely complete — will be required if the banks are shuttered in late August or early September because it will get “ugly” out there.

 

No doubt. Because the sort of enduring and polite American who weathered the “Great Depression” is now in seriously short supply.

 

If Mr. Schultz’s prediction is correct, we can expect riots in bank foyers and ultimately martial law to be imposed.

Ron Paul Slams Federal Reserve’s New Dictatorial Powers 

By Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet.com, June 18, 2009

 

Responding to the Obama administration’s new regulatory reform plan, which will officially hand the Federal Reserve complete dictatorial control over the U.S. economy, Congressman Ron Paul told MSNBC that the Fed was now more powerful than Congress.

 

Paul emphasized that no amount of regulation could compensate for a financial system created and controlled by the Federal Reserve that was completely unstable to begin with.

 

“The regulations should be on the Federal Reserve. We should have transparency of the Federal Reserve. They can create trillions of dollars to bail out their friends, and we don’t even have any transparency of this. They’re more powerful than the Congress,” said Paul.

 

As we reported yesterday, the new rules would see the Fed given the authority to “regulate” any company whose activity it believes could threaten the economy and the markets.

 

Obama’s regulatory “reform” plan is nothing less than a green light for the complete and total takeover of the United States by a private banking cartel that will usurp the power of existing regulatory bodies, who are now being blamed for the financial crisis in order that their status can be abolished and their roles handed over to the all-powerful Fed.  READ FULL ARTICLE=>

Obama’s misnamed “Financial Regulatory Reform Plan” is a brazen attempt by the bankers to consolidate their power.  Obama — or rather, the bankers who own Obama — has devised something called a “Financial Services Oversight Council” to be chaired by the bankster dominated Treasury Department. This uber-council would call the shots for every financial firm in the country and supposedly refer “emerging risks to the attention of regulators with the authority to respond,” even as Obama plans to call for the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision to close under the direction of the Federal Reserve.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Official U.S. Unemployment Rate Hits 9.4 Percent

 

LC Editor’s Comments:  According to Bob Chapman of The International Forecaster, after all government fudge factors are accounted for, the true unemployment rate in the U.S. now stands at 21-percent.  He expects it to be at at 30 percent one year from now, which is the same as the unemployment rate as during the depths of the 1930’s Great Depression.

 

In his radio interview on Friday, June 5, with Alex Jones, which is contained in the link I sent out to readers a few hours ago, Bob said he expects that figure to get much worse than 30 percent in subsequent months and years.  Chapman is the best source of financial statistics as you will find anywhere in the world.

The Israel Lobby

By John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt

London Review of Books

 

For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardized not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Israel's Attack on the Liberty, Revisited

By Jeffrey St. Claire, CounterPunch.com, October 24, 2003

 

In early June of 1967, at the onset of the Six Day War, the Pentagon sent the USS Liberty from Spain into international waters off the coast of Gaza to monitor the progress of Israel's attack on the Arab states. The Liberty was a lightly armed surveillance ship.

 

Only hours after the Liberty arrived it was spotted by the Israeli military. The IDF sent out reconnaissance planes to identify the ship. They made eight trips over a period of three hours. The Liberty was flying a large US flag and was easily recognizable as an American vessel.

 

A few hours later more planes came. These were Israeli Mirage III fighters, armed with rockets and machine guns. As off-duty officers sunbathed on the deck, the fighters opened fire on the defenseless ship with rockets and machine guns.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

NIAGARA COURTS RULING: Taser use to obtain DNA not unconstitutional

By Rick Pfeiffer, Niagara Gazzette, June 4, 2009

 

A decision by Falls Police to use a Taser to obtain a DNA sample from a suspect in an armed robbery, shooting and kidnapping is not unconstitutional.

Niagara County Court Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza reached that conclusion in a 16 page decision handed down Wednesday that refused to dismiss an indictment against Ryan Smith and denied his request to have DNA evidence that links him to two separate criminal cases thrown out.  FULL ARTICLE=> http://www.niagara-gazette.com/breakingnews/local_story_154132251.html

 

LC Editor’s Comment: What’s next, water boarding to force compliance with court orders?  Also, apparently the judge never heard of or refuses to honor the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

 

Police Tasers: excessive force or necessary tool?

By Warren Richey, CSMonitor.com, May 28, 2009

 

From isolated cases across the country, a debate is emerging over the use of electric stun guns as a "pain compliance" device by law enforcement.  At issue isn't whether police can use the weapon, known as a Taser, to protect themselves from dangerous suspects or to prevent a criminal from escaping. That is its designed purpose. Instead, the question is to what extent police may use a stun gun against someone who is not actively resisting arrest but who is passively refusing to obey a police command.

 

To some officers, such refusal is a form of resisting arrest and constitutes grounds to shoot 50,000 volts of electricity into that person's body in five-second bursts. When a person is tased, the central nervous system is overridden and the person experiences a seizure accompanied by intense pain. Such tactics would be unconstitutional in a police interrogation room.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Little Brother is watching you: Brit children of ten are taught how to spot a terrorist in police DVD   

Daily Mail Online, June 3, 2009-06-03

 

Hundreds of children as young as ten are being urged to spot potential terrorists and shop them to police.

Up to 2,000 are to attend a safety event where a film will tell pupils that extremist views can develop at school.   FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  “Be afraid! Be very afraid! The terrorists are everywhere!  Why even you mommy and daddy might be terrorists! Report them to the police, now! ” 

 

The elitists are fearmongering 24/7, worldwide now. It’s their way of attempting to regain control over the people whom they terrified into submission, then apathy, then malaise, and finally into a near entranced state by pulling off 9/11 and then keeping them in this state using the help provided by their cohorts in key government positions and ever willing vocal members of the mainstream news media to dish out the propaganda.

 

The elitists began to lose control after enterprising alternative media journalists and print news publishers and persistent seeking news talk radio hosts latched onto the Web well over five years ago.  Knowing it would make their jobs easier and more productive, they began using it to ferret out truth when government officials and industry kings sought to hide it and get their news and analyses out to their readers and listeners with lightning speed. 

 

As a result of this merging news providers with Internet technology, literally millions more people each day turn from using mainstream television and cable news sources, which by and large broadcast the government’s slant on the news, to web-based, internet news and commentary sources, especially the ones that have developed a reputations for honesty and thoroughness.

 

The upshot of all this is that millions of people who had been entranced by the elitists’s machinations and taken in by their lies and doubletalk are finally beginning to awaken from this state of compliance as a direct result of being exposed to the truth as served up to them over the Web.  

 

Many of them wake up very angry. That’s because they have finally learned that these miscreants, elitist-globalist bankers, working with equally despicable cohorts in government, have stolen everything but the kitchen sink from them, while they were entranced.  Furthermore, they are very angry because government spokesmen had been able to convince to them to send their sons and daughters off to foreign lands to fight wars off aggression and conquest that had as their main purpose acquisition of underground mineral right and oil basins. 

 

Understandably, the elitists are miffed by this unfortunate turn of events for them: the awaking of people who are now in the know and angry about it.  So have begun ratcheting up the fear propaganda level again, using mostly the mainstream media to do it.  But they are apparently willing to use means other then Internet content to accomplish this task, in the case of this news story, having pre-teen children watch a police produced DVDs about terrorism and how kids can learn to spot a potential terrorist.

 

Of course, we intuitively know what’s next in this indoctrination process once the kids have watched the film.  It will be to encourage kids old barely enough to understand what MI-5 and Mi-6 (British Intelligence) believes to be reliable ways of establishing a persons intentions by observing his behavior to turn in anyone that looks and behave like a potential terrorist to the police for interrogation.  Perhaps interrogations with the assistance of water boarding, huh?

 

The elitist-globalist bankers and their government cohorts will go to any means to transform planet Earth into a prison planet. You’d better believe it, because it’s true.

Venezuela Chavez says "Comrade" Obama more left-wing 

Reuters, June 2, 2009

 

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.

 

During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.

 

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  In fact the actions taken by President Obama, his advisor Larry Summers, and Secretary of State Timothy Geithner in fostering the bankruptcy of GM are far more like the actions that would be taken by government leadership as part of its aggressively transforming a constitutional republic into a corporate fascist state like Benito Mussolini’s Italy of the Great Depression-World War II era.  See my post today on the Tarpley interview, and then download and listen to the audio of the interview.

 

Alex Jones Interviews Webster Tarpley - Tuesday, June 2, 2009 - Audio

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  This is the MP3 audio recording of another illuminating, stimulating radio interview of historian, economist and author Webster Tarpley by Alex Jones on his radio show.  The program airs on Tuesday, June 2. Alex’ show is broadcast on GCNLive.com, M-F, 11:00 AM-2:00 PM CT. 

 

The topics of this interview include what Tarpley suggested is the imminent peaking of President Obama’s influence on the American people, the GM bankruptcy, and the current transformation America to a fascist corporate state similar to the one existed in Mussolini’s Italy Great Depression-World War II Era.

 

A fascist corporate state is by definition a state sponsored compulsory cartel.  Tarpley does a great job of explaining this concept as it applies to the U.S. now and shows how JP Morgan, CitiCorp and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner fit into the picture.  He points out that the bankruptcy of General Motors was engineered during the Obama administration by Geithner and Obama advisor, Wall streeter Larry Summers.  Tarpley then goes on to suggest an innovative solution for pulling the American economy out of its current economic depression, a solution that involves putting GM back into business, but not in production of motor vehicles.

Obama says Iran's energy concerns legitimate

By Nancy Zuckerbrod, Washington Post – AP, June 2, 2009

 

President Barack Obama suggested that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful.  In a BBC interview broadcast Tuesday, he also restated plans to pursue direct diplomacy with Tehran to encourage it set aside any ambitions for nuclear weapons it might harbor. Iran has insisted its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity. But the U.S. and other Western governments accuse Tehran of seeking atomic weapons.   FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  Both President Obama, and before him, President Bush have, in words to the effect and without presenting evidence to support their claims, repeatedly accused Iran’s leadership of running a clandestine nuclear weapons development project disguised as an atoms-for-peace nuclear electrical power generation building program.

 

Furthermore, adding insult to injury, they challenge it to prove their outrageous assertions wrong.  Of course, as any student of logic and rhetoric knows, it’s just not possible to prove a negative, and both presidents certainly have known that all along.

 

There is plenty of proof that Iran nuclear program has a purely peaceful purpose and is operated that way.  For example, he professional onsite nuclear inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the nuclear experts from the seventeen U.S. government intelligence agencies that provide the White House with National Intelligence Estimates each year continue to give Iran’s program a clean bills of health year after year. 

 

However, that doesn’t wash with the White House, which regards both IAEA and NIE reports as insufficient to prove that Iran does not have a bomb project, at least on the draw board.  So by using their clever semantic ruse both presidents have been able to frame Iran as a rogue nation ready to leash nuclear Hell on all of the Middle East. This has allowed the White House to justify its leveling of veiled treats at Iran’s leadership to either ‘fess up to being in the nuclear weapons business or have all of its nuclear development facilities bombed. 

 

But now President Obama appears to be softening in view of Iran as a nuclear state, saying he now believes that that nation will need to use nuclear means to meet its electrical power requirements in the future.  However, notice that he says that he’ll go along with having Iran work on its nuclear program but only if “it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful.”

 

In other words, President Obama is challenging Iran’s leadership to prove that it does not aspire to building nuclear weapons.  This amounts to a stiffer challenge than the one put forth to Iran’s leadership by both administrations in the past, which was to prove that Iran was not engaged in developing nuclear weapons technology.  Obama demands now that Iran’s leaders prove that they do not aspire to gain a nuclear weapons production capability.

 

Aspire means to seek to or accomplish a particular goal.   Aspirations are created and reside in the mind!  So what Obama is demanding of Iran’s leadership is prove to him that they are not thinking about developing a nuclear weapons capability. Furthermore, he demands that it supply him with the proof with a year --- or else! 

 

Obama is a man who brings change?  What kind of change?  Change good for people who seek peace, freedom and personal liberty – or bad?  You decide. 

 

Also, let me repeat my suggestion that you view Alex Jones’s full length film, The Obama Deception, if you’d like to see what kind of change Barky and the elitists have in mind for you and me and our offspring.

Today we’re all prisoners in the USA

Papers Please! Blog, June 2, 2009

 

As of today, June 1, 2009, even U.S. citizens are officially prisoners in the USA, or exiles barred from entering our own country without the government’s permission. 

 

We are now forbidden by Federal regulations from leaving or entering the USA, anywhere, by any means — by air, by sea, or by land, to or from any other country or international waters or airspace — unless the government chooses to issue us a passport, passport card, or “enhanced” drivers license (any of which “travel documents” are now issued only with secretly and remotely-readable uniquely-numbered radio tracking beacons in the form of RFID transponder chips), or unless the Department of Homeland Security chooses to to exercise its standardless “discretion” to decide — in secret, with no way for us to know who is making the decision or on what basis — to issue a (one-time case-by-case) “waiver” of the new travel document requirements.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  This is a long but important article and should be read by everyone who’d like to become keenly aware of how much President Bush and now President Obama and the Congress have clamped down on unrestricted international travel by Americans.  Earth may eventually become a prison planet, but should count for Americans now is that the U.S. is slowly but surely becoming a prison country.

Daniel Estulin’s “True Story of the Bilderberg Group” and What They May Be Planning Now

By Steve Lendman, OpEdNews.com, June 1, 2009

 

For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group's far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world's resources and its money.  His book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," was published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comment: This is a major article about the Bilderberg Group, which has an indirect yet major influence on all of our lives.  It’s nine pages in length and powerful.  Approximately 150 Bilderberg members assemble in annual conferences held all over the world. Only invited persons may attend conference meeting.  All of the attendees are world class decision makers and include top national government officials, bank presidents, and board members of major international corporations.  A lid of secrecy is kept on the content of each conference and the names of the attendees. Although nearly all major internation press organizations send reporters to cover the event, U.S. news services and television news channels have chosen to totally black out coverage of the event for the American people.

 

Federal Reserve Puzzled by Yield Curve Steepening

By Alister Bull, Reuters, June 1, 2009.

 

The Federal Reserve is studying significant moves in the U.S. government bond market last week that could have big implications for the central bank's strategy to combat the country's recession. But the Fed is not really sure what is driving the sharp rise in long-dated bond yields, and especially a widening gap between short and long term yields.  FULL ARTICLE=>
