The scam would be believable if it wasn't so perfectly staged. <p>Without getting into convoluted conspiracy theories about mind control and whatever else, not that they aren't without merit, the facts we already know about Hasan and his behavior prior to the deadly shootings just screams out "patsy" and "set-up" and almost exactly mirrors other terror scams the Empire has run in the past. <p>Just like the would-be liquid bombers that were supposedly planning on bringing down multiple airliners in August 2006, who were caught on CCTV buying bulk supplies of cake in the very hours before the plot, Hasan's pre-shooting behavior contradicts completely the idea that he was preparing for a deadly rampage. <p>Shortly before the massacre, Hasan was caught on camera shopping at the convenience store located on the army base laughing and joking. Is this the behavior of a man psychologically readying himself for the high-intensity horror of gunning down dozens of his colleagues, or someone unaware of what was to follow? <p>We learn that Hasan "Showed no signs of worry or stress when he stopped at 7-Eleven for his daily breakfast of hash browns, said Jeannie Strickland, the store's manager." " He came in (Thursday) morning just like normal," she said, "nothing weird, nothing out of the ordinary." <p>CNN feverishly seized upon the CCTV footage and began broadcasting it relentlessly because Hasan is seen wearing Arab garb and Muslim headdress, fitting the carefully pre-arranged stereotype perfectly. <p> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:21:22 -0500 JeffnDenmark http://www.drudge.com/news/126891/everything-nidal-malik-hasan-screams#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.126891 discussion, 0.5 daily 126891 http://www.drudge.com/news/126890/plants-need-more-co2-not-less http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/OpEd-Contributor/Plants-need-more-CO2-not-less-69158857.html By: H. Leighton Steward OpEd ContributorNovember 4, 2009 Congress and federal regulators are poised to make a misguided and reckless decision that will stifle our economy recovery and spur long-term damage to plant and animal life on earth. In the coming months, the Environmental Protection Agency will hold hearings to justify the movement to brand carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pollutant. Congress will also consider cap-and-trade legislation that, if enacted, could also regulate CO2 as pollution. Why is it such a catastrophic decision? Because there is not a single piece of evidence that CO2 is a pollutant. In fact, lower levels of carbon dioxide actually inhibit plant growth and food production. What we see happening in Washington right now is the replacement of politics for science in conversations about CO2. For plants, CO2 is the greatest, naturally occurring air-borne fertilizer that exists. Even schoolchildren learn in elementary science class that plants need carbon dioxide to grow. During photosynthesis, plants use this CO2 fertilizer as their food and they "breathe out" oxygen into the air so humans can inhale it, and in turn exhale CO2. This mutually beneficial and reinforcing cycle is one of the most basic elements of life on earth. An article appeared recently in the Environment and Energy Daily that claimed a "modeled" nitrogen deficiency will occur as CO2 rises. Well, CO2 has already risen over 37%, 105 parts per million, and where is the real world nitrogen deficiency? Why are Earth's forests lush if the added growth that has already occurred, due to big bursts of CO2, has depleted the nitrogen supply? The nitrogen supply of pristine ecosystems has been resupplied through natural processes for eons. Computer models, manipulated to produce desired results, can generate catastrophic, front page, forecasts. We encourage our government's scientists to step back from their models and observe what is and what has happened in the real world, as well as in actual plant experiments. Doesn't anyone recognize the good news that is staring them in the face? It simply defies imagination, let alone science, that the United Nations has now backed an arbitrary limit on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The chairman of the politically charged Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said he supports efforts to reduce carbon dioxide to 10% below current levels. In the context of today's political conversations, this recommendation may sound like an acceptable position to save the environment. But the scientific reality of such a step is quite the opposite. Lowering carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will have catastrophic affects on our food supply.

According to Thomas Holler, who will lead the initiative, "It will be part advisory service, part policy developer and part watchdog."<p>What a coincidence !! That will tie in nicely with this: Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty, Claims British Lord (see video and red text below) in December President Obama will fly off to Copenhagen again, this time to put his signature onto a document which effectively establishes a New World Government, based on "Climate Change" formerly known as "global warming". <p>At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it. <p>I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word "government" actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, "climate debt" because we've been burning CO2 and they haven't. We've been screwing up the climate and they haven't. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement. <p>How many of you think that the word "election" or "democracy" or "vote" or "ballot" occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn't appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it Now the apotheosis is at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He's going to sign it. He'll sign anything. He's a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he'll sign it. <p>And the trouble is this: if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can't resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties And because you'll be the biggest paying country, they're not going to let you out of it. <p> So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I've read the treaty. I've seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not. <p> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:59:14 -0400 JeffnDenmark http://www.drudge.com/news/126561/global-warming-new-world-order#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.126561 discussion, 0.5 daily 126561 http://www.drudge.com/news/126560/number-americans-believe-climate http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/oct/22/climate-change-us-pew-survey Number of Americans who believe in climate change drops, survey showsOnly 57% of Americans feel that the planet's atmosphere is warming, a fall from 77% two years agoSuzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent guardian.co.uk, Thursday 22 October 2009 19.22 BST Article history The number of Americans who believe in global warming has plummeted, falling 20% in two years, a survey said today. <p>Only 57% of Americans believe there is solid scientific evidence that the Earth's atmosphere is warming, said the poll of 1,500 people by the Pew Research Centre for the People & the Press. <p>That is a fall of 77% from 2007. The number of people who believe that human activity is causing global warming also fell to just 36%. <p>The public uncertainty about the evidence behind global warming comes as the Senate prepares to begin debate next week on climate change legislation. Yesterday, 18 scientific organisations wrote Congress to reaffirm the consensus behind global warming. <p>Michael Dimock, the associate director of the Pew Centre, said the economic crisis and the struggles over healthcare reform had squeezed out climate change and the environment as issues of concern. "The public is just not as focused on global warming and environmental [issues] as they have been in the past."

The photographer was on patrol with the Marines when they came under fire. She found the courage and presence of mind to do her job. Her reward is to be condemned by the warmonger Gates as "insensitive." Gates says her employer, the Associated Press, lacks "judgment and common decency." <p>The American Legion jumped in and denounced the Associated Press for a stunning "lack of compassion and common decency." <p>To stem opposition to its wars, the War Department hides signs of American casualties from the public. Angry that evidence escaped the censor, the War Secretary and the American Legion attacked with politically correct jargon: "insensitive," "offended," and the "anguish," "pain and suffering" inflicted upon the Marine's family. The War Department sounds like it is preparing a harassment tort. <p>Isn't this passing the buck? The Marine lost his life not because of the Associated Press and a photographer, but because of the war criminalsGates, Bush, Cheney, Obama, and the US Congress that supports wars of naked aggression that serve no American purpose, but which keeps campaign coffers filled with contributions from the armaments companies. <p>Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard is dead because the US government and a significant percentage of the US population believe that the US has the right to invade, bomb, and occupy other peoples who have raised no hand against us but are demonized with lies and propaganda. <p>For the American War Secretary it is a photo that is insensitive, not America's assertion of the right to determine the fate of Afghanistan with bombs and soldiers. <p>The exceptional "virtuous nation" does not think it is insensitive for America's bombs to blow innocent villagers to pieces. <p>On September 4, the day before Gates' outburst over the "insensitive" photo, Agence France Presse reported from Afghanistan that a US/Nato air strike had killed large numbers of villagers who had come to get fuel from two tankers that had been hijacked from negligent and inattentive occupation forces: <p> "Nobody was in one piece. Hands, legs and body parts were scattered everywhere. Those who were away from the fuel tanker were badly burnt,' said 32-year-old Mohammad Daud, depicting a scene from hell. The burned-out shells of the tankers, still smoking in marooned wrecks on the riverbank, were surrounded by the charred-meat remains of villagers from Chahar Dara district in Kunduz province, near the Tajik border. Dr. Farid Rahid, a spokesperson in Kabul for the ministry of health, said up to 250 villagers had been near the tankers when the air strike was called in." <p>What does the world think of the United States? The American War Secretary and a US military veterans association think a photo of an injured and dying American soldier is insensitive, but not the wipeout of an Afghan village that came to get needed fuel. <p>The US government is like a criminal who accuses the police of his crime when he is arrested or a sociopathic abuser who blames the victim.

RozeffLew Rockwell.comMonday, Sept 7th, 2009<p>As I read the many editorial columns and articles in support of Obama's speech, I can see that many writers are very upset and emotional over criticism of Obama's action. They also are clueless concerning the reasons why his address is unwelcome. They are name-calling. They are not bothering to mention, much less rebut, the reasoned objections of people like me.<p>I can at least articulate my reasons for objecting. Such a speech blurs or crosses several boundaries that I believe there are good reasons to have in place. <p>The President's constitutional powers are explicit. They include the "executive Power." They include being "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States" and a few more listed in the Constitution, including preserving and protecting the Constitution. They do not include addressing schoolchildren. <p>If the President were to live up to his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution, he would request that Congress repeal all its laws regarding education. Section 8 of Article I lists the powers of Congress. Education is not on that list. So when the President addresses schoolchildren, he breaks his oath in several ways. He does not have that power, and he affirms and solidifies a power assumed by Congress that Congress does not have. The President is failing in his sworn duty. Those who think that the President's speech is helpfully teaching civics are mistaken. His speech is conveying and confirming anti-civics and anti-Constitutional lessons. <p>The President is a political leader. He is not in office to be an educator. His duties are clearly laid out, and they do not include educating children. By the same token, the President is not the parent of all these children. He is not their teacher. He is not their religious leader. The reason for these boundaries is so that political figures do not use their power and influence to dominate our social lives. <p>It is a special danger to liberty and society when national powers are developed. These are powers in which the national leadership directly controls or influences individual citizens, while bypassing or circumventing other local sources of governance and influence such as parents, families, churches, schools, and local governments. <p>An Obama address to schoolchildren is an instance of the further development of national power and influence. It breaks new ground in the influence of State over society. Public education already is under the influence of objectionable forces, but this establishes a new precedent that can be extended. If one political leader addresses youth, other leaders are more likely to address youth. The content of their speeches can be enlarged. Their influence can be enlarged. Government will be given more play and support than it already has. Such a speech is inescapably political. Such a precedent can eventually lead to further dangerous developments, such as a Presidential Youth or an Obama Youth. <p>The President is a politician. Any address he might make, no matter how nonpartisan it may seem, is bound to be political. It cannot be neutral. The very fact that he is President and making such a speech will be taken in by school children. He will be conveying his authority to these children, with the blessings of their parents and school teachers. They will be taught by the speech itself, regardless of its content, to look to the national government in matters relating to their lives. After all, is he not addressing them about very personal and civic matters? His speech is necessarily a political act. <p>The President is the leader of a particular political party, so that the very fact that he is a Democrat who is President and making such a speech influences his listeners. Children grow up to be voting adults. <p>In any speech, what the President says lies beyond the control of those who allow that speech to enter the classroom. The teachers have control over the subsequent discussion, if they choose to have it. But the President will already have made his impact. Children do not fully possess the capacities to judge political matters. <p>Will the opposition party demand equal time? Do we want politicians routinely competing with one another for the attention of and influence over children? <p>The President commands the airwaves. This is a dangerous and influential power when used with adults. Allowing this power to be extended to communication with every child in the country is even more dangerous.

Eberle points to a post dated the first of September on the Heritage Foundation website. But, it doesn't stop there. They also have absolutely no respect or appreciation for the American way and the sacrifices American's have made in order to stay free and to promote the American way of life across the globe. Just take the latest effort being pitched at BarackObama.com. Rather than remembering the Americans who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Obama's political team wants you to make phone calls on 9-11 to fight back against "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists." <p> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:44:29 -0400 Jeffndenmark http://www.drudge.com/news/124869/obama-website-calls-opponents-domestic#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.124869 discussion, 0.5 daily 124869 http://www.drudge.com/news/124823/watson-majority-americans-question-911 http://www.infowars.com/forget-van-jones-the-majority-of-americans-question-911/ Paul Joseph Watson: Controversial Fox News television host Glenn Beck along with a host of other establishment talking heads are again attempting to create the perception that questioning the official story behind 9/11 is a fringe belief, when in fact numerous polls show that the majority of Americans have questions about the attacks as the tragedy approaches its eighth anniversary. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NzNJrSGxJtE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NzNJrSGxJtE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <p>Citing the fact that Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones, who is increasingly and justifiably coming under fire from conservatives in light of his Communist rhetoric and his socialist ideals, signed a petition in 2004 calling for a proper investigation into whether the U.S. government allowed 9/11 to happen, Beck and others have used the "9/11 truther" label as a smear with which to further attack Van Jones' credibility. <p>During his show yesterday, Beck tied Van Jones' advocacy for 9/11 truth to his "radical, progressive and Communist nonsense" and implied that questions about 9/11 truth were held only by a small minority of mainly leftist Hollywood personalities. <p>However, despite efforts to portray people with questions about 9/11 as some kind of lunatic fringe minority, numerous polls in the years since the attacks manifestly prove that a majority of Americans share doubts and questions about the 9/11 attacks. Those people include former presidents and respected intelligence veterans, not merely leftist progressives as Beck insinuates. <p>The Parliament of Japan, the former President of Italy, and widely-respected CIA veteran Robert Baer have all questioned the official story behind 9/11. <p>Since the attacks, a top former member of Tony Blair's cabinet, Germany's Secretary of Defense and the founder of Reagonomics have all slammed the official story along with a cacophony of former government, military, intelligence and political professionals.

Lesbians are just a few government grants shy of having a paramilitary organization, a cross between the Girl Scouts and Hitler's Brown Shirts. <p>They were asked to become "rangers" with the "Lesbian National Parks and Services," the brainchild of local "performing artists" Shauna Dempsey and Lorri Millan. (See Poster)<p>This is the lesbian equivalent of the university and government hiring two middle-aged males to recruit co-eds to go camping and have sex.<p> The two women had a "field office" in the university art gallery, staffed by a university employee in ranger uniform. They took part in pancake breakfasts, barbecues and interviews on campus radio. <p> "Lesbian Rangers salute and welcome you!" their brochure said. "Here you will encounter new, even life-changing lifestyles and ideas. These may challenge you in uncomfortable ways." <p>The university art gallery, the Manitoba Arts Council and the Canada Council, sponsored this tasteless attack on heterosexuals to the tune of about $10,000. This doesn't include thousands of taxpayer dollars already expended on their promotional video and "Field Guide" which includes examples of lesbian "flora and fauna." <p>Their message: "Homosexuality is natural. Question the heterosexual model. Heterosexuality is a social invention." <p>When I went to university, students learned to question authority. Today, they learn to question their gender. <p>Does the LNPS actually exist? This is social engineering masquerading as art, propaganda disguised as parody. It is a shock tactic. Eventually the outrageous becomes accepted. Often, what happens in the imagination occurs in reality. <p>The Lesbian Rangers don't actually work in any parks.

The two "bush women" leave "no stone or lesbian unturned." It's a "lesbian-eat-lesbian-world." Knots are practiced in various bondage positions. Their website is called www.fingerinthe dyke.ca <p>Yet, in the video, they fine a heterosexual male $100 for wearing a lewd T-shirt ("Blow me") and intimidate him when he protests. He is reprimanded for "threatening the lesbian environment." Rangers are urged to make "citizens' arrests." <p>Lesbians are just a few government grants shy of having a paramilitary organization, a cross between the Girl Scouts and Hitler's Brown Shirts. Its function: Persecute heterosexuals. (see my, The Dawn of the Feminist Police State) <p>In the video, they "rescue" a straight female from drowning. She is enchanted by her hairy-legged saviors and "sees the world through brand new eyes." <p>LESBIAN PLAYGROUND <p>If the University of Winnipeg is an indication, universities are playgrounds for lesbianism. It makes sense. Enrollment is already 2-1 female. <p>In June 2001, the University of Winnipeg made headlines when high school students attending a summer art history course complained they were shown lesbian porn and instructed to use zucchinis instead of seeking male companionship. The instructors were not removed. <p>The following year, the "Women's Center" sponsored an event where co-eds had casts made of their breasts! Imagine if heterosexual male students sponsored such an event.

They are the private security contractors guarding the US embassy compound in Kabul. These allegations, and many more, are contained in a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday by the Project on Government Oversight, which has been investigating the embassy security contract held by ArmorGroup North America (a subsidiary of Wackenhut, which is in turn owned by the security behemoth G4S). The contractor was the subject of a congressional probe earlier this summer that found serious lapses in the company's handling of the embassy security contract, which internal State Department documents said left the embassy compound "in jeopardy." Nevertheless, the government opted to extend the company's 5-year, $189 million contract for another year. <p> UPDATE: Here are the jaw-dropping photos. http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2009/09/embassy-guards-gone-wild-pictures-nsfw.

Some investors describe them as "dormant economic weapons of mass destruction". They essentially are large leveraged bets on top of stocks, bonds and commodities. Money can be made within months or seconds by betting if a stock will go up, down or even remain the same. With no credit rating you can place a bet worth double your account balance. Big time investors get greater leverage with these instantaneous loans. The New York Times, Oct 8th 2008: "The derivatives market is $531 trillion, up from $106 trillion in 2002&#8243;. This market is setup with odds similar to a racetrack. Trillions are won and lost (transferred) every second. But unlike a racetrack the big players have ultimate control. Their trillions can make stocks move. A 4% up swing in a stock can cause a derivative bet to rise more than 100% in value or vice versa. A low performing stock that rises only 6% a year could actually have many 3, 6 or 9 percent swings weekly or monthly (some stocks daily). There are billions to be made over and over again by the people that control billions and trillions thus the markets. A grand game approved by the top. <p>The globe's GDP is at $60.1 trillion. The globe's total financial assets were reported as $167 trillion in 2006. A few trillion lower today no doubt. The highly volatile derivatives market is worth noting because it dwarfs the entire world's GDP and total financial assets combined. <p>Alan Greenspan, the former long-term chairman of the central bank of the United States, constantly double-spoke over his career. He made statements that the current unchanged derivatives market is the best thing since sliced-money and occasionally he gave dire warnings. On May 9th 2003 the New York Times published the following: "Mr. Greenspan, as he has done in the past, praised derivatives, saying their benefits materially outweighed the risks and had insulated the financial system from the stock market crash and economic downturn." New York Times, Oct 8th 2008: "Mr. Greenspan warned that derivatives could amplify crises because they tied together the fortunes of many seemingly independent institutions. The very efficiency that is involved here means that if a crisis were to occur, that that crisis is transmitted at a far faster pace and with some greater virulence,' he said." With double-speak Greenspan can always be "right" in his autobiography. Historians can choose if he was one of the "experts" giving warnings or they can put the blame on him. Quite often the qualified "experts" that helped crash a system are the ones in charge of building the next system. <p>The $531 trillion dollars derivatives market contains a mind-boggling amount of high-risk credit in the hands of a small few that could completely finish off the collapse of the current global economy (for a new global replacement). New York Times, May 9th 2003: "he detailed the potential dangers to financial markets if a big derivatives dealer had to exit the market. In his speech, delivered to the conference by satellite, Mr. Greenspan said that a single dealer accounts for about a third of the global market in both interest rate and credit derivatives, and a few dealers account for more than two-thirds." <p>Playing with people's lives <p>The span between the green-cash haves and have-nots grew larger under Greenspan. The majority of people around the world rely on the economy for their livelihoods. But what runs the integrated global economy? Credit! <p>Greenspan is not one of the minority with trillions of dollars, and trillions more in credit, tied in derivatives. His work was benefiting the dominant minority of the market. Those who own the gold get others to make their rules. If everything runs on money and you own the money, it's easy to run things. <p>The new financial system is currently being openly discussed, if not already fully constructed on paper. Have no doubt that the paid "experts" will be given plenty of corporate and government media time sprouting how wonderful the new system will be for the ordinary man while saying enough bad things about the old system to keep us happy or they might even put the blame on the "greedy public". A few bank employees (bank managers) have already been scarified in the media. Of course, the real economic managers, the top bank owners, will create the new system. The same people that profited from the sheering of the current system. The trillion dollar banking families of the globe don't want to end their river of wealth, making easy money from the public, which means the World Bank and the European Central Bank don't what that either. The current system would be updated with desired regulations (a better game for a few) and new banking language that the general public don't understand, like with any good con. However, not until after some turmoil as turmoil is needed for large-scale changes to be accepted. As the EU Commission President, Manuel Barroso, said, "the kind of occasion where the crisis calls in to question all certainties and minds are more open to change, these are very special moments." A spokesperson for the upcoming system, Gordon Brown, said all that the nation bankrupting bailouts and social chaos are "the difficult birth pangs of a new global order" and the expert's "task now is nothing less than making the transition to a new internationalism," reported by the Daily Mail on Jan 27th 2008. This is what happens when people desire to be managed.
