Fed Killed Kennedy

There are various culprits that are accused of assassinating President Kennedy in 1963. Some claim it was Oswald, others that the CIA, Mafia, Soviets or that Freemasons iced him.

But what we do know is:
"In June 1963 Kennedy took the ultimate step against the Fed by authorizing the issuance of more than $4 billion in 'United States Notes' through the U.S. Treasury, not the Federal Reserve." --Jim Marrs

Comedian Richard Belzer, author of the book "UFOs, JFK and Elvis" remarked: "He [Kennedy] also angered powerful bankers by ordering the Treasury Department to crank out millions of dollars in 'United States Notes', thereby circumventing the Federal Reserve."

According to Gary Kah the major stockholders of the Fed possess semitic names like Rothschild, Warburg, Israel Moses Seif, Goldman Sachs etc. The most revealing and logical statement regarding the death of JFK was made by Lee Harvey Oswalds Russian widow--Ms. Marina Oswald:

The answer to the Kennedy assassination is with the Federal Reserve Bank. Don't underestimate that. It's wrong to blame it on Angleton and the CIA per se only. This is only one finger of the same hand. The people who supply the money are above the CIA.

ACLU seeks Dept. of Justice docs on torture, etc

The ACLU is seeking Bush administration documents pertaining to torture, surveillance, and other controversial topics.

The civil rights organization sent a letter on the 28th to the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. This is the same office that provided legal advice to the White House under George W. Bush.

Personally I think the ACLU has absolutely no chance of success getting these documents.

Life Imitates … David Icke!

DRIVING through the countryside south of Hanover, it would be easy to miss the GEO600 experiment. From the outside, it doesn't look much: in the corner of a field stands an assortment of boxy temporary buildings, from which two long trenches emerge, at a right angle to each other, covered with corrugated iron. Underneath the metal sheets, however, lies a detector that stretches for 600 metres.

For the past seven years, this German set-up has been looking for gravitational waves - ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as neutron stars and black holes. GEO600 has not detected any gravitational waves so far, but it might inadvertently have made the most important discovery in physics for half a century.

For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into "grains", just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. "It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says Hogan.

If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."


Or, life is beginning to imitate David Icke’s reptilian hologram thesis.

Gangster of the Week: Rahm Emanuel

From the Blog: Senator, You're No Jack Kennedy


http://senatoryourenojackkennedy.blogspot.com/2008/05/gangster-of-week-rahm-emanuel.html


I was first introduced to Emanuel by this great profile piece in The Rolling Stone. His gangster status is well documented. While working in the White House, he mailed a dead fish to a pollster he didn't like. Ari Gold from Entourage is based on his brother, Ari Emanuel (In an episode, they are sitting in Ari Emanuel's $2,000 courtside seats). It is rumored that he lost his finger fighting for Israel in Syria, but he actually lost while working at Arby's in high school (I'd stick with the Israel story). My favorite Rahm Emanuel story is how, the night after Clinton's election in '92, he stood up at a celebratory dinner and called out all the Democratic betrayers of Clinton's campaign. After each name he shouted out "Dead...dead...dead...dead..." and stabbed the table with his steak knife after each name. Bad. Ass.

This is the kind of attitude the Democrats need if they are going to remain a force in national politics. His take-no-prisoners attitude is an affront to the notion that Dems are bunch of ninnies and push-overs. He stood up to Clinton and told him that fundraising needed to be his number one priority early in the campaign. Clinton listened and you can make the argument that this won him the nomination (Tsongas, Clinton's chief rival in the primaries, ran out of money cause he had to try to outspend Clinton). His strategic thinking and unbelievable fundraising power provided a net gain of 30 seats in the House when he was the DCCC chair.

He accomplishes the tasks before him, no compromises. He is angry and brash, but that's what this party needs. He's only 48, so he will be a player in Democratic politics for a long time to come. Vice President?

Rahm Emanuel, President-Elect Obama’s appointed Chief of Staff said: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”



Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, told business leaders assembled by the Wall Street Journal in November that the economic crisis facing the country is "an opportunity to do things you could not do before."

That has to be one of the most chilling statements I have ever heard uttered by an American political official in my lifetime.

It ranks right up there with the transparent arrogance of Clinton administration hotshot Paul Begala's July 1998 explanation of the use of executive orders by the president to go over the heads of Congress: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool."

But there was even more to this quote from Emanuel. He followed up that scary and yet candid statement with this: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

Every so often, an insider among the power brokers in our establishment elite let's slip an extremely telling remark. I suspect Emanuel meant exactly what he said – though he probably wishes he could take it back.

Why is it that Emanuel and other members of the Obama administration seem downright giddy about the collapse of our economy? Could it be more than the fact that it led them to power? Do they believe they can use this crisis to push through unconstitutional, immoral and draconian anti-freedom measures that will help them maintain control and power under the cover of crisis?

And, if so, is it possible this dire economic calamity was at least partly engineered by insiders from the beginning – for the purpose of enriching the elite and turning the rest of us into serfs?

I'm beginning to open my mind to just such a possibility.

Satanic signal emanating from Washington, DC!

A new Satanic Signal seems to be emanating from Washington, DC!

Texas Tea Discovered in North Dakota!

The people of North Dakota are amongst the most impoverished in the nation. That’s why this is the best news I’ve read in a very long time! I just hope this wealth is shared with all the residents of the states in which this oil is found!

************************************


Watch out, Texas! Get back California, Louisiana and Alaska! North Dakota and Montana are on track to knock all of you off your high horses as the oil capital of the United States.

According to a government report published today that has stunned the energy biz, a thin layer of rock known as the Bakken Shale, located a couple of miles under the Badlands, holds up 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil, making it the single largest oil reservoir that federal scientists have ever assessed.

At today’s price of $110 per barrel, that puts the value at $475 billion, give or take a few bill, or more than enough to make people think ND stands for North Dallas. Or maybe that’s New Dhabi.

The U.S. Geological Survey only assessed the Bakken Shale in U.S. boundaries, so the full extent of the find, which stretches north into the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, will ultimately be larger. Already the estimate for “technically recoverable” oil – or that which is exploitable using current technology -- is 25 times higher than the last time the USGS surveyed the area, in 1995.

"Obama's Victory" from The London Daily Mail

This is what one paper from across the pond thinks about Barack Obama's elevation to President of the United States.

An editorial from the London Daily Mail 

Obama's Victory

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah
Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long
ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her,
comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless, but would not dare attack
genuinely powerful special interest groups.

A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the
cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his
achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a
marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style
over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising [sic] over reality.

A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world.
Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, and Sarandon.

Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to
independence. For those who settle for group-think and herd mentality rather
than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of
step with meager political fashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have
already stated that media have to be controlled so as to be balanced,
without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most
liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh,
when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are extremely
liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just
as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one
of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered
and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and
opposition.

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise
children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching
and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently
weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the
tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the
painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure,
unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for
intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Congratulations, America !

Rahm Emanuel: Israel’s Spy in the White House

From Mid-East Realities & The Committee On The Middle East. January 1999

http://www.middleeast.org/archives/1999_01_06.htm

ISRAEL'S "SPY" IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Take the word "spy" here in the overall context of the background, role, connections and allegiances of Rahm Emanuel.

He's been on TV quite a bit in the past few days -- tasked with convincing the world that Bill Clinton is to be believed in the latest "Zipper-Gate" scandal. According to Emanuel, Bill just didn't do it!

Actually in this second Clinton term Emanuel has gradually come out more and more into public view after so much behind-the-scenes work going back to Clinton's first Presidential campaign. When Clinton wants to tough-it-out he often now turns to Rahm Emanuel and the many Emanuel can call on his behalf.

These days Emanuel's title is "Senior Political Adviser" and his office is close by to the Oval Office where he can and does constantly monitor all that's going on in the Clinton Presidency.

Emanuel's real role combines money with politics with public relations -- he is a rather unique figure in the Clinton "Kosher Kitchen" White House. Most unique of all in fact is that Emanuel is a kind of out-front spy for Israel while primarily serving as Bill Clinton's main money man.

More so than ever before, money and politics are the heads and the tails of the same coin in the Clinton White House. Both the "show me the money" slogan from last year's hit movie Jerry McGuire, and the current hit movie "Wag the Dog", are take-offs on what contemporary Washington politics has truly become in the Clinton era.

Emanuel has essentially made himself indispensable to Clinton because he is the main link to the money, especially the huge sums of American Jewish money that have poured toward Bill Clinton ever since he became their man anointed to take down George Bush.

Very little if anything goes on in the Clinton White House that Emanuel doesn't know about. And while his super close relations to the Israeli lobby are well known by Democratic insiders, few want to speak on the record about this most sensitive of subjects -- the extraordinary power and clout of the Washington Israel/Jewish lobby that totally dominates the Clinton/Gore Presidency.

DUAL U.S./ISRAELI CITIZEN

Emanuel was a dual Israeli-American citizen until he was 18, he's now 36. His father was in the right-wing Israeli underground in the 40s, the same group that is rumored to have had ties to the Deir Yassin massacre and possibly to the assassination of U.N. negotiator Count Bernadotte.

Emanuel may have given up his second citizenship (quite possibly for tax reasons some indicate); but he never gave up his dual allegiance. During the 1991 Gulf War Rahm in fact volunteered for the Israeli Army (volunteers were not sent to combat but rather to support jobs).

ISRAELI LOBBY PROTEGE

Emanuel got his feet wet in politics back in 1980, just a year after giving up his Israeli citizenship, as an Israeli/Jewish lobby operative.

There was this mildly pro-PLO Congressman from Springfield, Illinois -- Paul Findley -- whom the Israeli/Jewish lobby wanted out of there. Emanuel's first major political and money job was to become the Finance Director for Democrat David Robinson, the man who unseated the long-serving Findley.

Ever since Emanuel has been among the insiders of the Israeli/Jewish lobby, though he has never worked directly for it, unlike the new Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East, Martin Indyk, and the Special Middle East negotiator, Dennis Ross, both among Emanuel's close friends, as is CNN's Wolf Blitzer, also a former lobby official.

Obama Administration Bombs Pakistan!

Obama Administration Bombs Pakistan!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SHAME ON OBAMA!

MORE OF THE SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!



Two remote U.S. missile strikes that killed at least 20 people at suspected terrorist hideouts in northwestern Pakistan yesterday offered the first tangible sign of President Obama's commitment to sustained military pressure on the terrorist groups there, even though Pakistanis broadly oppose such unilateral U.S. actions.

The shaky Pakistani government of Asif Ali Zardari has expressed hopes for warm relations with Obama, but members of Obama's new national security team have already telegraphed their intention to make firmer demands of Islamabad than the Bush administration, and to back up those demands with a threatened curtailment of the plentiful military aid that has been at the heart of U.S.-Pakistani ties for the past three decades.

The separate strikes on two compounds, coming three hours apart and involving five missiles fired from Afghanistan-based Predator drone aircraft, were the first high-profile hostile military actions taken under Obama's four-day-old presidency. A Pakistani security official said in Islamabad that the strikes appeared to have killed at least 10 insurgents, including five foreign nationals and possibly even "a high-value target" such as a senior al-Qaeda or Taliban official.

It remained unclear yesterday whether Obama personally authorized the strike or was involved in its final planning, but military officials have previously said the White House is routinely briefed about such attacks in advance.

At his daily White House briefing, press secretary Robert Gibbs declined to answer questions about the strikes, saying, "I'm not going to get into these matters." Obama convened his first National Security Council meeting on Pakistan and Afghanistan yesterday afternoon, after the strike.

Poor Jonathan Pollard

Poor Jonathan Pollard

By Robert Eringer, The Investigator

January 24, 2009 12:00 AM

Spare a thought for poor Jonathan Jay Pollard, the U.S. Navy intelligence analyst who passed national security secrets to the Israelis two decades ago. He and his supporters had hoped, perhaps even expected, a presidential pardon or commutation of his prison sentence as George W. Bush prepared to leave office earlier this week. Despite a huge lobbying campaign that jammed the White House switchboard, this notorious spy remains behind bars. Poor Jonathan Pollard. Never one to show remorse for his dirty deeds, he still clings to a delusion that he was merely assisting an ally who had the right to know U.S. defense secrets. He uses this rationalization to mask a sociopathic mind and 007 complex -- a lethal combination in intelligence work.

"Pollard is a narcissist," Ronald Olive told The Investigator. Mr. Olive, a retired Naval Investigative Service counterintelligence officer, should know. Not only did he write the definitive book on the Pollard case ("Capturing Jonathan Pollard," Naval Institute Press, 2006), he was intimately involved in the investigation that brought Mr. Pollard to justice. "He set out to be a spy," said Mr. Olive. "It did not matter for whom. It was all about him. It just so happened that Israel took him on."

Early on, Mr. Pollard displayed many signals about his instability. Sadly, his colleagues and superiors at the Naval Fields Operational Intelligence Office put his odd behavior down to "eccentricity," even though he carried a courier card that allowed him access to top-secret documents from a full spectrum of intelligence agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and Defense Intelligence Agency.

For instance, soon after receiving his clearance to be an analyst, Mr. Pollard ludicrously proposed creating a backchannel collection operation against the South African government through the naval attachè at the South African embassy, while lying that his father, Morris Pollard, had served in the CIA. On other occasions, he would arrive late to meetings, sweating and disheveled, and announce that Irish terrorists had kidnapped his wife; that he'd spent the weekend chasing them around Washington, D.C., to negotiate her release.

The CIA had earlier rejected Mr. Pollard's application for employment after he admitted extensive use of illegal drugs. Later, when naval intelligence conducted a pre-employment security check on Mr. Pollard's background, the CIA would not reveal why they had shown him the door, on the erroneous assumption that it would violate his right to privacy.

And then, when Mr. Pollard was finally caught red-handed improperly removing classified material from his office, the FBI wanted to fob off doing anything about it because they were too busy on other matters.

Poor Jonathan Pollard passed more secrets to a foreign power (360-plus cubic feet of paper), in the shortest amount of time, than any spy before or after him. He did so for a mere $2,500 a month and a couple first-class trips to Israel and Europe. The Israelis also paid for his wife's engagement ring.

But mostly Mr. Pollard spied to exercise his 007 complex and fuel his mammoth ego.

In exchange for Mr. Pollard's cooperation to conduct damage assessment, the prosecution agreed not to press for life imprisonment. Mr. Pollard, and his wife and co-conspirator, Anne, then breached the agreement by speaking to the media.

Prosecutors nonetheless remained true to their word and did not demand a life sentence. Judge Aubrey Robinson, however, was under no such constraint. Confronted with the breadth of this spy's treachery, the judge, in 1987, sentenced Mr. Pollard to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.

Sentencing guidelines dictate that Mr. Pollard will be set free in 2015.

President Clinton almost pardoned Mr. Pollard in 1998 under pressure from Israel, whose leaders took more than 10 years to officially admit he spied for them. Brazen Bill was not one to shy away from pardons of impropriety; indeed, he pardoned Marc Rich on the last day of his presidency after the fugitive's ex-wife, Denise, donated hugely to the Clinton Library.

But on Mr. Pollard, even Bill balked after CIA Director George Tenet got wind of it and threatened to resign if this traitor were set free. Mr. Tenet represented the intelligence community's view that those who betray their country should serve their full sentence.





So spare a thought for poor Jonathan Pollard, languishing away at Butner Federal Correctional Institution in North Carolina. Think of how much he deserves a prison cell. Think of him sitting there, craving more attention.

Other traitors, Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, will never be set free. Their life sentences mean life. And since espionage is now a capital offense, they're fortunate to have copped a plea that evaded execution.

So what does the future hold for Jonathan Pollard?

Well, seven more years of prison.

And after 2015?

"He will undoubtedly move to Israel and try to claim back-pay he believes the Israelis owe him," Mr. Olive told The Investigator. "He thinks he is a hero in Israel. He has built up a support base there, and I fully expect he will run for a seat in the Knesset (Israeli parliament) -- and win."

In other words, for allowing Mr. Pollard to spy for it, resulting in its huge embarrassment when he confessed, Israel will finally get what it most deserves.

UFO buzzes the White House during Inauguration!


Holy Cow! What is this object that zips across the screen at 0:08 from the right?

Some say, it's a bird. Some say, it's a plane! As yet, it's unidentified.

The object is way too large to be a bird. It's either a spy plane or ....?

I told everybody last year there was going to be a strange otherworld event involving Obama.

It's right here:

From above link:

Please watch the video and take note at 0:08 and focus on the right of the screen.
Clearly to be seen is a disk shaped object that flies with incredible speed from the right of the screen to the left. Just to prepare you: First you will see mister W- Blitzer and his fellow presenter talking about the message mr Obama had said. Then, you will see an overview with the Washington monument to the right.

The object becomes visible on 0:08 on the right side of the Washington Monument and moves within seconds to the left side of the screen. The object is in our opinion way to fast to be a plane or helicopter. No way it is a bird. Should it have been a plane, it must have been a fighter jet. And, was it a fighter jet there should have been a sound of the plane flying over at the speed it did. Maybe a security drone by the Government? Then why is it flying at the speed it does?

U.S. Out of Afghanistan Now, Israel out of Gaza!

Latest figures of civilians killed in Afghanistan in 2008 according to French media is double the number claimed by the U.N.

Where is the OUTRAGE? Let’s hope Obama continues to avoid that tired phrase “War on Terror” and stops thinking in those madman surrealist terms.


**********************************

Nearly 4,000 Afghan civilians were killed in insurgency-linked unrest in Afghanistan last year, more than two-thirds in rebel attacks and about 1,100 by foreign forces, a rights group said Tuesday. The figures released by an independent Kabul-based group called Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM) are far higher than those from the United Nations and international military forces. They were based on information from locals, officials and elders across the country which was then verified in Kabul, ARM researcher and analyst Ajmal Samadi told AFP.

The report, entitled "The Plight of Afghan Civilians" says 3,917 civilians were killed, more than 6,800 were wounded and around 120,000 were forced out of their homes in 2008. More than 2,300 were killed in insurgent attacks, including 930 in suicide bombings, with the rebels also using "appalling" killing methods such as public executions and beheadings, ARM said. The aim was to "spread terror among communities and establish a means of control," the report said.

"US-led NATO and coalition forces also failed to ensure adequate safety and security for civilians in their counter-insurgency operations," the watchdog said. "Military operations conducted by these forces in 2008 caused at least 1,100 civilian deaths, 2,800 injuries and displaced from their homes around 80,000 people," the report said.

Around 680 died in air strikes by US-led forces, it said, adding that US combat aircraft conducted at least 15,000 close air support missions over the year. Afghan forces had meanwhile killed around 520 civilians, the report said. It also released figures for Afghan security forces killed over the year: more than 1,100 police and 530 Afghan soldiers lost their lives, it said, citing sources in the Afghan government.

The United Nations has much lower figures for civilian casualties in the Afghan conflict, saying roughly 2,000 civilians were killed in 2008, more than half of them in insurgent attacks and the remainder in military action. Samadi said the UN's research was hobbled by its lack of access to all parts of the country because of poor security.

Calling Time-Out on War

“How about a five-year time-out on war -- unless, of course, there is a genuine threat to the nation?”


Following is a letter to President Obama from George McGovern, presidential candidate in 1972 who lost to incumbent, Richard Nixon. Let’s hope Obama listens to reason before blindly plowing into Afghanistan.

**********************

As you settle into the Oval Office, Mr. President, may I offer a suggestion? Please do not try to put Afghanistan aright with the U.S. military. To send our troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan would be a near-perfect example of going from the frying pan into the fire. There is reason to believe some of our top military commanders privately share this view. And so does a broad and growing swath of your party and your supporters.

True, the United States is the world's greatest power -- but so was the British Empire a century ago when it tried to pacify the warlords and tribes of Afghanistan, only to be forced out after excruciating losses. For that matter, the Soviet Union was also a superpower when it poured some 100,000 troops into Afghanistan in 1979. They limped home, broken and defeated, a decade later, having helped pave the way for the collapse of the Soviet Union.

It is logical to conclude that our massive military dominance and supposedly good motives should let us work our will in Afghanistan. But logic does not always prevail in South Asia. With belligerent Afghan warlords sitting atop each mountain glowering at one another, the one factor that could unite them is the invasion of their country by a foreign power, whether British, Russian or American.

I have believed for some time that military power is no solution to terrorism. The hatred of U.S. policies in the Middle East -- our occupation of Iraq, our backing for repressive regimes such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, our support of Israel -- that drives the terrorist impulse against us would better be resolved by ending our military presence throughout the arc of conflict. This means a prudent, carefully directed withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and elsewhere. We also need to close down the imposing U.S. military bases in this section of the globe, which do so little to expand our security and so much to stoke local resentment.

We cannot evade this reckoning. The British thought they could extend their control over Iraq even while pulling out their ground forces by creating a string of bases in remote parts of the country, away from the observation of most Iraqis. It didn't work. No people that desires independence and self-determination wishes to have another nation's military bases in its country. In 1776, remember, 13 little colonies drove the mighty British Empire from American soil.

In 2003, the Bush administration ordered an invasion of Iraq, supposedly to reduce terrorism. But six years later, there is more terrorism and civil strife in Iraq, not less. The same outcome may occur in Afghanistan if we make it the next American military conflict.

Mr. President, the bright promise of your brilliant campaign for the White House and the high hopes of the millions who thronged the Mall on Tuesday to watch you be sworn in could easily be lost in the mountains and wastelands of Afghanistan.

The Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz has estimated that the war in Iraq will have a total cost of more than $3 trillion. That war has clearly weakened our economy and our armed forces even as it has made the national debt soar. The Bush administration committed itself to Iraq before the recession. Today, with our economy teetering, does the Obama administration believe that it is time for yet another costly war in yet another Muslim country?

I'm aware that some of my fellow Americans regard me as too idealistic. But sometimes idealism is the best realism. And at a minimum, realism and idealism need not be contradictory. The invasion and occupation of Iraq has not only angered Iraqis who have lost family members, neighbors or homes; it has also increased the level of anger throughout the Muslim world and thrown up obstacles to our political leadership in that deeply important part of the planet.

Like you, Mr. President, I don't oppose all wars. I risked my life in World War II to protect our country against genuine danger. But it is the vivid memory of my fellow airmen being shot out of the sky on all sides of me in a war that I believe we had to fight that makes me cautious about sending our youth into needless conflicts that weaken us at home and abroad, and may even weaken us in the eyes of God.

As you have noted, Mr. President, we take pride in our soldiers who conduct themselves bravely. But as you have also said, some of these soldiers have served two, three and even four tours in dangerous combat. Many of them have come home with enduring brain and nerve damage and without arms and legs. These troops need rest, rehabilitation and reunions with their families.

So let me suggest a truly audacious hope for your administration: How about a five-year time-out on war -- unless, of course, there is a genuine threat to the nation?

Gaza-Palestine, Fake Wars and Manufactured Enemies: What's it all about?

Gaza-Palestine, Fake Wars and Manufactured Enemies: What's it all about?

Zahir Ebrahim

[PHBF, California, Wednesday, January 21, 2009] Project Humanbeingsfirst issued the following statements today, on the auspicious occasion of a new President, Mr. Barack Obama, being ushered into the prestigious and highest office in the United States of America, as its 44th leader of the new free world.

Under Mr. Obama's term, many transitions and changes will transpire on planet earth, and Project Humanbeingsfirst explains it, beginning with the Palestinian peoples' shrill cries for mercy, never mind justice, that is being denied them:

I am a Palestinian. Hath not a Palestinian eyes? hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. The villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

Before that comes to pass, is there not a courageous people left in all of Creation who can collectively put a stop to my cataclysmic Holocaust at the hands of 'god's chosen peoples'? It has been ongoing for the past 60 years, yet I refuse to die away, my old refuse to forget, and my young are born daily even as they are exterminated daily with the support of your government and your institutions while you watch in silence. I am the natural canary in the coal mine - what is befalling me will be your fate too, one day, for they will come for you next. Population transfer and elimination from my land for me today, population reduction for you tomorrow. Help me today and you will have saved your own progeny tomorrow! Don't help me today, don't expect your screams, loud or silent, to be heard tomorrow.

But of course, We, the Palestinians, Don't Bleed!

As these plaintive pleas for mercy are being unanimously heard and responded to in the hallowed halls of the United States Congress and the European Union, by both the outgoing and the incoming Presidents, as well as in the mainstream American and Israeli press, Project Humanbeingsfirst has explained the silence in the United States and the excitement in the Holy Lands, in its multimedia report titled “From Genesis to Genocide in Palestine” ( http://tinyurl.com/a67xzf )

President George W. Bush for once had truthfully blurted out while on the 60th birthday-bash visit to Zionistan “Our two nations both faced great challenges when they were founded. And our two nations have both relied on the same principles to help us succeed.” The core-principle being, the outright elimination of indigenous peoples, wherein, “the very same army that had recently conquered and occupied the Southern states – led by Generals Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan – mass murdered Indian men, women, and children during the winters, when families would be together, with massive Gatling gun and artillery fire. In a letter to his son a year before he died (1889), Sherman expressed his regret that his armies did not murder every last Indian in North America.” The Pious Jews don't intend to make the 'Sherman mistake' in Palestine! They have noted it time and again that “We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel ... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours.” But the Jews' narrative of Holocaust is what remains the most profound and sacred obsession of the 'civilized' West – a perennial “mystery whose parallel may only be the one of Sinai when something was revealed.”

Zahir Ebrahim, founder of Project Humanbeingsfirst, explains the overarching Western agenda: “Israel and Mossad created Hamas, just like the United States and the CIA created Bin Laden and Al-qaeeda, and just like the United States and Britain and their International Bankster fraternity on Wall Street and City of London, had funded, aided, and abetted, both Fascism-Nazism in Italy and Germany, and Communism in Russia. The proof of these statements are written in blood in the dark pages of Machiavellian history and its recorded confessionals. As for Hamas, it has only helped Israel ensure that there will be 'no partners for peace'. And this has once again been demonstrated in GAZA.”

Zahir Ebrahim further elaborated: “The present construction of false enemies is neither blowback, nor inadvertence of foreign policy gone berserk – but calculated and premeditated ingredients for seeding, creating, and sustaining the 'doctrinal motivation, intellectual commitment, and patriotic gratification', because, as Zbigniew Brzezinski devilishly put it all together: 'democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.'”

“The endgame is 'one-world' government, a 'Zion that will light up all the world', and we – the inconvenient humanity – are merely caught 'Between Two Ages', the transition-epoch. That transition period is to be brought a step closer to finalization under the new front-face in the White House, of Mr. Barack Obama. He has been groomed intellectually, politically, and financially, by the same hectoring hegemons who delighted in 'giving to the USSR its Vietnam War' at the expense of another people's disposable blood. Their agenda is not particularly a state-secret. Their own words are publicly available for anyone to read, hear, and parse intelligently. Provided of course, that they are un co-opted, and their souls haven't been exchanged in the many Faustian bargains and enticements of the New World Order”, said Zahir Ebrahim.

Zahir Ebrahim concluded: “Those who don't see it, and continually prance around it in the guise of erudite scholarship and pragmatic politics, are willing participants in its construction by their devilishly calculated omissions and plants of red herrings. They are not innocent. To know who these white-collared intellectual killers are – the real murderers responsible for exterminating the 'lesser' humanity – examine their axioms. Judge their works, their imperatives, their mistakes, their oops, their platitudes, their opposition, and the overarching import of their forked-tongue, i.e., the tree, only by its real fruits.”

Thank you.

"Evidence of Revision" Documentary

Today we got hit with another snowstorm and I spent the whole day watching this set of DVDs sent by the folks at www.wingtv.net. This 5 disk set is an absolutely mind-blowing onslaught of historical audio and visual materials that I didn't know existed on JFK, RFK, Vietnam, Sirhan Sirhan, and MK-ULTRA.

http://www.wingtv.net/evidenceofrevision.html
Order at the above link.

HISTORY MAY BE REVISED EVEN AS IT IS BEING WRITTEN

"Evidence of Revision" is a 5-DVD, 8 hour long documentary series whose purpose is to present the publicly unavailable and even suppressed historical audio, video, and film recordings largely unseen by the American public relating to the assassination of the Kennedy brothers, the little known classified "Black Ops" actually used to intentionally create the massive war in Viet Nam, the CIA "mind control" programs and their involvement in the RFK assassination and the Jonestown massacre and other important truths of our post-modern time.

"Evidence of Revision" sweeps "official truth" into the dustbin of history.


This is the mindblowing 5-part video documentary series Evidence of Revision whose purpose is to present the publicly unavailable and even suppressed historical audio, video and film recordings largely unseen by the American and world public relating to the assassination of the Kennedy brothers, the little known classified "Black Ops" actually used to intentionally create the massive war in Viet Nam, the CIA "mind control" programs and their involvement in the RFK assassination and the Jonestown massacre and other important truths of our post-modern time. The U.S. Government's Orwellian "Office of Public Diplomacy" has been in existence in various forms and under various names since World War ONE. The union of American governance and American corporate interests began in Abraham Lincoln's day and the massaging of "public truth" began even before the Roman Empire.

The more you know about "real history" versus "official history", the better equipped you are to see behind the lies of our times, even as they are told to you. Evidence of Revision sweeps "official truth" into the dustbin of history as it may be revised even as it is being written. Each part cca 100 min. long, 8 hours all together.

Part 1: The assassinations of Kennedy and Oswald as never seen before

Part 2: The "Why" of it all referenced to Viet Nam and LBJ

Part 3: LBJ, Hoover and others. What so few know even today.

Part 4: The RFK assassination as never seen before, Sirhan Sirhan.

Part 5: The RFK assassination continued, MK ULTRA and the Jonestown massacre... all related.

Here is Part 1:

Tanks in my Memory

Good riddance! This tyrant should have been deposed. Why wasn't he?

Bhutto on biin-Ladin: DEAD!

Bin Ladin was rolled out on audio tape for the Gaza incursion... can you believe that? According to Benazir Bhutto, bin Ladin is dead... as she mentions his assassination while discussing her links to Pakistani Intelligence and the threat to her own life shortly before she was assassinated.

Full moon at the psych ward

Sent to me by Robert Eringer, The Investigator for the Santa Barbara News.



Note: A recent documentary called American Drug War features Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s draconian “Tent City” in Arizona. The documentary is a must see. I’ve seen it a couple of times, it’s unbelievable.








January 17, 2009 12:00 AM

The Investigator recently ventured into the maximum security psych ward of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County Jail in Phoenix, Ariz. This is not the kind of place most folks would want to spend any significant time.

"It's true what they say about the full moon," one of the jailors tells The Investigator. "We have more incidents then."

A full moon is imminent.

Heavy, self-locking doors clank open and shut as we enter the acute wings where patient-inmates are treated and observed until they're ruled sane enough to stand trial.

Guards endeavor to enforce a sterile existence. They are hard-pressed. Several inmates protest incarceration with peculiar art therapy: finger-painting the walls with their feces. One male, bent on harming himself, had just sickened his keepers by dining on his own dung. The stench of scatology weighs heavy despite daily hosing.

The main thing here is that inmates -- those believed to be suicidal -- not be able to harm themselves. To this end, those categorized "Level One" are refused any clothing and must exist in their cells dressed only in their birthday suits, lest they attempt to utilize garments for hanging themselves or attempt suffocation by gagging.

The result is a human zoo. Some pace, some sleep -- all are on display through unbreakable glass.

"I don't belong here," is a familiar rant among the constrained. One leans forward, lends an ear (a barrier prevents the possibility of it being bitten off), and invariably hears that a terrible mistake has been made, that he or she has been confused with somebody else or vindictively targeted. "They're all nuts, even the shrinks -- but not me!" Mental health care staffers have become jaded by this familiar refrain; they are naturally skeptical of grievances, be it lack of drinking water or a non-flushing toilet.

"If you look at their chart," says a keeper, "you'll see things that'll make you feel real good that they're in here instead of out there."

We already feel that way about several inmates, including a serial killer who shouts that he wants us all dead. "Get out of my house!" he hollers repeatedly, along with a string of obscenities. "I'm going to kill you all!" When we walk past, he grins like a Cheshire cat, sweeping the forefinger of his right hand from ear to ear across his throat.

This particular individual is assigned a 24-hour watcher, posted outside his cell to raise alarm in the event that he smashes his own head against a wall. This is because the day before he scraped a piece of cinder block from the wall and punctured an artery in his wrist.

Some inmates are caged for mere misdemeanors, and will be out on the street within days, homeless. They'll be directed to a medical shelter for free medication to continue treatment begun in the facility. But none of them ever appear, and weeks later, in a perpetual cycle, they'll be picked up again for new transgressions and re-booked into old cells.

One inmate believes he is a vampire; he looks at visitors as if dinner has arrived. Apparently, he has a record of dining on human flesh and drinking blood.

Nearby, an Iraqi male has been feigning madness for several years to prevent the Immigration and Naturalization Service from deporting him home to Baghdad. The mental health care staff knows that he's faking it, but every time he is forced into court, the Iraqi lunges at the jury; the judge calls a mistrial and orders him back to the Psych Ward. (Interesting that he prefers to live among these folks rather than return to Iraq; maybe no one has told him Saddam is dead.)

A new inmate arrives in black & white stripes, restrained by pink handcuffs.

Sheriff Joe does his best to ensure prisoners -- sane or insane -- do not want to return to his facilities. This means pink underwear and no coffee, on the basis that coffee is a luxury without any nutritional value. "In Arizona we don't mollycoddle our inmates," says Lisa Allen, Sheriff Joe's Director of Media Relations.

But the recidivist rate -- 60 percent -- is no different than, say, in San Francisco, where county prisoners can order cappuccino and watch color TV in relatively comfortable cells. Which means tough and humiliating conditions do little to deter a majority of offenders from returning to a criminal life -- though it does save public money.

A certain element of society will always be criminal or homeless or suicidal, no matter how much rehabilitation or treatment is lavished upon them. You can lead a horse to water, the saying goes, but you can't make it drink.

Nonetheless, the measure of any civilized society is how well it cares for its unfortunates.

Which leads us, in a roundabout sort of way, to Cold Spring Canyon Bridge on Highway 154.

Since this arch bridge was built in 1963, 48 persons -- aged between 18 and 72 -- have used it as a launch pad for jumping to their deaths. No one has survived the 480-foot drop.

Suicide is often impulsive, deriving from temporary thoughts, and almost always a result of psych-ache associated with bipolar syndrome, depression and schizophrenia, which can all be treated.

A research study showed that 94 percent of 515 persons prevented from jumping off San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge were still alive seven years later.

As many as one in six people will become seriously suicidal at some point in their lives, according to the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) in Washington, D.C.

The allure of a "suicide bridge" -- of its certainty, without impediment -- is a strong motivator for persons temporarily blinded with suicidal thoughts.

"There is no question that bridge barriers work," Dr. Alan Berman, executive director of the AAS, told The Investigator.

"Research has shown that barriers are the most effective form of suicide prevention on bridges that have been magnets or landmarks for people with suicidal thoughts. Our research includes looking to see if suicide increases elsewhere in the general area, and we find there is no such increase."

Despite its cost, a plan to install barriers on Cold Spring Bridge measures up to the morality we expect of ourselves as a civilized people.

For Climate Refugees, a Floating Island dubbed The Lily Pad

OK, all Liliputians on board! What will the rent be? Will all be welcome in the Liliparadise? Or is it just for the elite?

*****************

From the Maldives to the Gulf of Bengal, the rise in sea level risks depriving 250 million people on the planet of lodging and land over the course of the twenty-first century. The least-alarming forecasts predict a one-meter sea level rise will lead to the loss of six percent of dry land in the Netherlands, 17.5 percent in Bangladesh and as much as 80 percent in the Majuro Atoll, in Oceania.

To this climatic nightmare, Vincent Callebaut opposes a dream-like response. The young Franco-Belgian architect has forged himself a reputation through his ecological projects, anchored in realist technologies, but navigating the frontiers of science fiction.

Imagine amphibious city-atolls of 50,000 inhabitants, ecological and self-sufficient, afloat on the oceans wherever the winds and the currents take them. Called "Lilypad," this concept of a floating ecopolis is meant to be a futurist Noah's Ark for the climate refugees to come.

Lilypad is a concentrate of sustainable development. At the center of a circular island, a submerged lagoon of freshwater recycles rain water and acts as ballast for the city. Deployed around it are three marinas and three mountains that accommodate offices, businesses and leisure activities, as well as lodgings covered in suspended gardens and served "by a network of streets and passageways laid out organically," according to the architect.

The city produces more energy than it consumes - and without emitting CO2 - by combining all possible imaginable renewable energies: thermal and photovoltaic solar, wind mills, hydraulic, ocean thermal, ocean movement energies, etc.

However, even in this ideal world, one could not live on love and freshwater only: food needs are satisfied thanks to "aquaculture fields and biotic corridors on and under the hull."

Symbiosis with Mother Nature compels; the vessel's structure is inspired by the vascular configuration of the leaf of the giant Amazonian water lily, Victoria Regina. "The double hull is formed from polyester fibers and a layer of titanium dioxide in its anatase form which allows the absorption of atmospheric pollution by photocatalytic effect," details Mr. Callebaut.

Who will finance such a construction to gather in tomorrow's refugees? A mystery. No candidates have made themselves known so far. But other, more solvent clients could take the bait: Lilypad may serve to "extend the territories of more developed countries, such as Monaco, offshore," notes the architect - who has taken care to moor his virtual Lilypads opposite the Principality.

Argentina's 2008 UFO Wave - The Summer Months

Argentina's 2008 UFO Wave - The Summer Months
By Luis Burgos, Fundación Argentina de Ovnilogia (FAO)

Early May 20008-San Miguel Tucuman

Over the course of several nights, Alvaro Sandoval and his family witnessed the strange maneuvers of objects flying at low altitude toward the south of the city between 830 and 10:30 p.m. This was reported to the FAO, and the possibility of conventional airport maneuvers was dismissed because many of the sightings occurred when the airport was already close closed.

Early May 2008-Ferrari (Bs.As.)

Juan Pablo Ruiz received a direct information from a resident of this town regarding the appearance of 20 circular marks on the ground measuring three meters in diameter each, in the vicinity of the Samborombon River. in this area, numerous strange marks had been found in previous years, scattered in the fields.

May 3, 2008 : Calamuchita, Córdoba

Martha Núñez submitted a photo of a phantom UFO this time egg shaped, and flying over the valley at an elevation relative to the 1230 position. This photo was analyzed.

May 4, 2008: Azul (Bs.As.)

Alejandro Inza detected the passage of La Luciernaga (the firefly) at 1947 hours following a satellite trajectory and blinking, this object stopped in a corner of the sky for several minutes, before vanishing suddenly without continuing its journey. This behavior is customary.

May 4, 2008: Sampacho (Córdoba)

Information was received from various locations toward the south regarding “blue glow in the sky” residents of Sampacho, Rio Tercero, San Basilio, etc. witnessed this unusual spectacle. The absence of coincidence in the hours makes this event even more enigmatic. But what is most significant is that at 2145 hours the same glove was seen from La Plata BS As some 600 km east of for these events were taking place. There are suspicions about this case.

May 5, 2000 8 Capital Federal

Taller Glaucoart videotaped the transit of a regular object flying south at 2039 hours. According to the tables consulted no satellites passed over the area at that time.

May 7, 2008: Calamuchita (Córdoba)

Martha Núñez submitted a photo of a phantom UFO, this time showing at this shaped object taken at 09 15 hours. This photo was analyzed.

May 8, 2008: Calamuchita (Córdoba)

For a change, Luis Gigena, a friend of Martha, has also submitted material involving phantom UFOs taken in the valley region. Photos show corpse and a distant delta wing object, this time at 1500 hours. Photos were analyzed .

May 9, 2008: San Carlos (Salta)

According to the digital www.copenoa.com.ar agency, Roberto Bravo witnessed a fleet of strange luminous objects, elongated shape, at 04:10 hours in the morning. This formation, made up of between nine and 12 objects, stopped, turned south, and then westward again until it lost itself in the distance. According to Bravo, its movement was rather slow and closed. Dogs displayed great agitation during the event.

May 9, 2008: Calamuchita (Córdoba)

Martha Núñez continues to submit material to us, and there is an easy answer: people who have doubts, traveled to the area, spent several days, perform their tasks with Martha or without her, and then analyze the results obtained. In this instance, we have another disk shaped objects photographed at 1000 hours. Jorge Luis Figueras (FAO) analyzed the photo.

May 9, 2008: Arguello (Córdoba)

Rodrigo G. Submitted material obtained from his own house, taken at 1841 hours, and showing objects moving at speed on the videotape and displayed individually in photographs. This material was analyzed.

May 10, 2008: Temperley, Bs. As.

Hector Sly submitted a sequence of three photographs taken in three seconds each at 1754 hours using his Kodak C 743 camera from the southeastern section of the city. The photos show the flight of a solid " phantom " object in an ascending trajectory, rising vertically and stabilizing itself horizontally in the final image implying great speed and maneuverability.

May 11, 2008 : Pueblo Liebig (Entre Rios)

Roberto Rebord (COLOVNI) submits some new material showing to possible UFOs taken at a distance with the Samsung S 630 camera at 1642 hours. Photo analyzed with reservations.

May 13, 2008 : La Plata (Bs.As.)

Adalberto Maciel reports having witnessed the transit of three flying objects in close formation, teardrop shaped, in an east-southeast direction at 0730 hours. The objects were yellow in color and traveled at moderate speed.

This sighting had duration of 10 minutes. Numerous listeners contacted local media reporting the presence of these objects in the skies. The phenomena in repeated itself at the same time the next day. We reached the conclusion that these are Inter-Continental aircraft that fly over Argentinean skies around this time of the year.

May 14, 2008 Buenos Aires

Once more and intercontinental air plane has generated the same confusion as before among residents of La Plata, Ensenada and Berisso, as it flew east toward at 0730 hours. Fortunately, Fernando Mengui, an FAO photographer, saw the object as it flew overhead in Encinada and was able to take six photographs, thus confirming that aircraft fly overs are involved.

Mid-May 2008: San Carlos (Salta)

Residents of this region informed the press including Channel 9 from Buenos Aires, that a strange entity similar in size to a child had been reported at 1330 hours. The police were also informed. By sheer coincidence, mysterious lights in the sky were seen in previous nights. 3 D image of the being was published by a local news
agency.

May 18, 2008: Libertador Gral. San Martín (Jujuy)

Young Florencia Pereira, age 12, managed to photograph to flying objects at 1111 hours in the morning. These objects were disc shaped and flew at a regular altitude toward the Calilegua Mountains. This information, and the photograph, appeared in the El Tribuno newspaper.

May 19, 2008: Santa Rosa

According to an investigation conducted by CEUFO, a pig was founded mutilated at farm located 15 mi. northeast of the capital. The strangest part of this event was the discovery of strange friends suggesting three-toed tracks, very similar to the ones detected in another mutilation case dated March 24th in Rosario (Santa Fe).

May 20, 2008 : City of Salta

According to researcher Gabriel Ruiz, a pair of lovers saw an intense green and orange light flying over the city's southern section. The object stopped for a few seconds before vanishing suddenly at 2330 hours.

May 21, 2008: Calamuchita

I knew photograph submitted by Martha and shows the movements of typical of phantom spheres that tend to cross the skies over the valley, this time at 1740 hours. This photo was analyzed.

May 22, 2008: City of Salta

A resident of the city's southern area witness the transit of a strange orange colored triangular object. The object moved quickly at times and very slowly at others.

May 25, 2008: San Carlos

The assistant commissioner of San Carlos witnessed the transit of a flying triangle with yellow or red and green lights at its tips are rounded. The object was seen with binoculars and at a given moment, it stopped in the skies over the valley. Another resident also witnessed the flight. Information appeared in the COPENOA News Service.

May 30, 2008: Villa Canas (Santa Fe)

Orlando fortune submitted his observation at 1440 hours to the FAO. At that time, he witnessed the strange glowing the sky and noticed an object flying from the northwest to southeast at high altitude, and reflecting the rays of the sun. The object was suspended in the air for some 15 minutes before turning north and vanishing at a speed greater than that at it which arrived. There were five other witnesses to this important sighting.

June 1, 2008: San Miguel de Tucuman

Alvaro Sandoval and his family informed the FAO that at 2000 hours they witnessed the maneuvers of a very bright flying object that remained suspended in the sky three minutes over the south of the city, at relatively low altitude, before vanishing toward the east.

June 4, 2008: Puerto Madryn (Chubut)

Www.ufopampa.blogspot.com disseminates the case involving two persons traveling in a pickup truck in a rural area at sunset, when they witnessed **5 small, horrible creatures** surrounding a sheep. Upon getting closer, the entities fled by large leaps and bounds. The animal was dead and eviscerated. Upon their return, they discussed the unusual case on a local radio station in Trelew.

Early June 2008: Pigue (Bs.As.)

Ester Urban (CIUFOS) photographed a "phantom" UFO with her Sony 8.1 Mpix camera in the "Las Grutas" estate, just as she was taking a photo of Raul Chaves during daylight hours.

Early June 2008: Capital Federal

Laura Ibarra sends us the photo evidence taken by her brother and his girlfriend from the 10th floor of a building in Barrio Urquiza, with a view of the River Plate, at 0730 hours. The photo shows a spindle-shaped object, white colored, very similar to the Inter-Continental aircraft we have mentioned earlier and which appear in Argentinean skies almost daily during this season. But the most striking aspect of the story is that the witnesses detected the presence of an enigmatic orb that followed the alleged airplane in its maneuvers.

June 6, 2008: Capital Federal

Taller Glaucoart managed to record the transit of five "flaming stars" toward the east at 0730 hours. One of these photos shows two of the Inter-Continental airplanes discussed earlier. Our specialist "is unable to see any means of conveyance for the objects", which adopt capricious unconventional shapes in the filters applied. This phenomenon is very similar to the one that occurred on April 2 in Villeguay (Entre Rios) and on May 14 in Ensenada (Bs.As.)

June 6: Concordia (Entre Rios)

A very luminous UFO flying at an unusually low altitude emerges in the lab analyses. Analysis performed by Jorge Luis Figueras.

June 9: La Plata (Bs.As.)

Miguel Peralta (FAO-La Plata) witnesses the slow movement of a "golden sphere" from the balcony of a first-storey apartment at 19:30 hours. The object flew horizontally toward the northeast, that is to say, toward the River Plate.

June 10: Naico (La Pampa)

Fabian Romano of CEUFO has sent us a series of photos taken between 13:01 and 14:28 in this community to the south of Santa Rosa, on Route 4. "Phantom UFOs can be seen in two of these images. The sky is cloudy and a Minolta Z1 was employed. Photos analyzed.

June 13, 2008: Arguello (Córdoba)

June 15, 2008: Capital Federal

Adalberto Maciel informs FAO of his interesting sighting at 21:00 hours with two additional witnesses. A strange flying object "shaped like an inverted plate, made up of countless non-shining lights" moved slowly in a north-northwest direction. There appeared to be something moving in a straight line upward in its rear section.

June 16, 2008: Santa Rosa (La Pampa)

CIUFOS reports a sighting occurred in the southern section of the city at 23:30 hours. A couple describes the slow movement of a large orange light that turned purplish, some 70 degrees over the horizon. The witnesses were stunned by the clarity of the phenomenon.

Engineer Maria Ines Flores, Lt. Cmdr., Argentinean Navy, authorized us to disclose her case. During a visit with an official commission to schools on the Argentinean shore sponsored by the fleet, she took numerous photos, and in one of them, taken at 16:39 hours, she noticed a strange flying object in the landscape. When the photo was analyzed by Jorge Luis Figueras, a sizeable, solid "delta winged" object, with contour and edges, could be seen. A UFO, or a very large bird? Material examined with reservations.

Carlos Calvi sends us a nocturnal photo of a phantom UFO taken at 19:56 hours using a Sony DSC-W90 with flash. A metallic body can be seen. Photo analyzed.

July 13, 2008:

The material sent by Martha Núñez is OUTSTANDING according to our analyst, as it shows the transit of what we have called the "squid UFO" (remember the medusa UFO?) as it had appeared in photos taken on April 20. At 16:27 hours, Martha took two photos of this flying body, first as it ascended and 10 seconds later, as it make a left turn. Remarkable.

July 13: Capilla del Monte (Córdoba)

Researcher Hector Picco, while driving from El Zapato toward the town, witnessed a strange light located to the left of Venus, but double the planet's apparent size. The object began moving slowly toward Mount Uritorco before vanishing. Time: 19:30 hrs. Report provided by Project CATENT.

The sunshades on the property showed signs of melting in their lead struts.

July 24: Between La Plata and Magdalena (Bs.As.)

Jorge Ruiz, a resident of La Plata, told us that he saw a "large source of light" as he drove along Route 11 heading north. Low clouds could be seen in the horizon.

Guess Who Promoted and Supported Hamas?

The above link carries a now-pulled copy of the UPI story of 6/18/02 showing the Israeli government's support for Hamas. (I have a hard copy of the original story which I made before it was pulled from the API site; for now, this link at least carries a reprint.) This is highly suppressed information which you will not get anywhere within a thousand miles of the (laugh track cue) "news media."

Why would the Israelis provide covert support for Hamas? Study the history of Black Ops for starters, and look at long range plans and Great Game strategies for conquest of territory, including "necessary" excuses for genocide ("ethnic cleansing"). The astute and awake readers will fill in the rest.

Congress (Read 'Cabal of Whores') Supports the Holocaust

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US Congress is set to offer staunch and unwavering support for Israel as the Gaza conflict rages, recognizing its "inalienable right" to defend itself from attacks by Hamas.

Democratic and Republican leaders united to introduce a resolution backing Israel in the US Senate and a similar measure will soon be pending in the House of Representatives with both expected to pass by large majorities.

Full story at link above.

Comment: Nice to know that we can count on support for a holocaust from our (s)elected "leaders." Of course a rape victim must let go of the fight-for-your-life gonad clutch on the rapist first; that's the important crime to denounce, not the brutal rape in progress, and most importantly, all blame must go to the rape victim. That's the twisted "logic" of the cartoon version of events which the aptly named "Congress" of prostitutes--always ready for an "act of congress" with their key donors--is promoting.

Proud to be an American? You betcha. Genocide is only worth a wink these days.

Public Could Be Prevented From Hearing 9/11 Trials

Anyone out there surprised about this move?


Public Could Be Prevented From Hearing 9/11 Trials

The military judge overseeing proceedings against five of the men accused of planning the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks signed an order designed to protect classified information that is so broad it could prevent public scrutiny of the most important trial at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to lawyers and human rights groups.

The protective order, which was signed on Dec. 18 by Judge Stephen R. Henley, an Army colonel, not only protects documents and information that have been classified by intelligence agencies, it also presumptively classifies any information "referring" to a host of agencies, including the CIA, the FBI and the State Department. The order also allows the court in certain circumstances to classify information already in the public domain and presumptively classifies "any statements made by the accused."

Three of the accused, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, are defending themselves and, under the order, anything they say during the course of the trial could be shielded from the public.

"These rules turn the presumption of openness on its head, making what is perhaps the most important trial in American history presumptively closed to the public and the press," said Jennifer Daskal, senior counterterrorism counsel at Human Rights Watch. "If these rules applied in all cases, there would be no such thing as an open trial in America."

Hamas Should Stop

Hamas Should Stop

by Mark Ash

truthout.org

With multiple diplomatic efforts to stop the violence in Gaza urgently under way, Hamas could greatly speed and aid those efforts by ceasing the rocket attacks on Israeli towns. The international community has long sought reform of Israeli military and social policy towards Palestinian lands. While it is true that some Israelis are resistant to any reform that would empower Palestinian residents, such reform would become inexorable absent deliberate provocation of Israel's military wrath.

There is a false and misguided notion that the rocket attacks or other random acts of violence are not really that significant to Israeli citizens. Nothing could be farther from the truth. These attacks, all attacks, on Israeli targets, both military and civilian, are viewed by the Israelis in the most serious light.

Israel must understand that its Arab neighbors see Israel as a clear and present danger to their way of life. They fight for that reason, not for any abstract hatred of Judaism. Israel must find a way to be seen as less threatening to the region. Israelis have failed utterly to become a part of the fabric of life in the Mideast. Without such a coming to terms with the place in which it lives, Israel can never realize permanence.

Militarists, all militarists, take great comfort in the covenant of "peace through strength." The time has come for a realization that peace can also lead to strength. Hamas, like their right-wing Israeli counterparts, see armed conflict as holding a promise of a better future. Both groups fail their communities by holding fast to this false and failed notion.

Hamas has long ascribed to a strategy of actions that would assure Israeli military action. The firing of rockets into southern Israel guarantees a large-scale military response. This empowers right-wing Israelis, and weakens all those who would pursue diplomatic or social solutions.

Every diplomat who has ever tried to achieve lasting peace in the Israeli-Palestinian theater has ultimately been forced to confront the realization that their best efforts can be undone by small violent groups, who take actions that cannot be ignored.

Why can’t we all just get along?

Or have fights like this one?

These are the kind of fights we should be having in our backyards and alleys, real neighborly like, one on one. Not the “state” against “terrorists” as a spectacle of technological power and tyrannical enforcement of boundaries.

OK, am I an idealist? Of course I am.
