On The Norwegian Mass Murder Op-Plan. Part II

By The Anonymous Physicist, Copyright 2011. All Rights Reserved

If the Norwegian Govt, likely with the assistance of agents from the UK and the USA perpetrated or aided the mass murder on 7/22/11, it might have gone down as follows. One or more bombs were planted in one or more Oslo buildings. Anders Behring Breivik was told to order nitrate fertilizer for some time with records to prove it. He was also told to rent the van that allegedly had the fertilizer in it. Now, as the building where the bomb/van is claimed to have been left, had the offices of the Prime Minister and other important offices, it is not likely that any vehicle would have been allowed to stop there. Certainly not without some high level Govt or police ID/sticker on the vehicle. So either Breivik’s alleged van had this, or perhaps no such van was involved in the Oslo bomb(s). Explosions may have been planted 2 days earlier during the police “exercise” I already cited. The fire, and presumable earlier explosion at the Oil Ministry building top office may have been a way to get rid of either some person or records troubling to the Norwegian regime, or to higher up PTB. So Breivik may not even have had anything to do with the Oslo bombing(s). Also no crater is seen in video just after the explosion, and no parts of the alleged van are seen (sound familiar?). See: http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=16257

Next for the Utøya island mass shooting, I present my hypothetical account. Now Breivik did apparently shoot many people there. But the eyewitness accounts indicate that he had one or more accomplices. Furthermore, the off-duty plain-clothes officer that was allegedly shot and killed may have been there as protection for all the young people at the camp. He may have been armed for this purpose, and thus would have to be perhaps the first to be killed. His fellow police officers or superior(s) would have been in on this I must conclude. Most likely he would have been taken out by the other shooter, or shooters, possibly with sniper rifles, that may have been on the island before Breivik got there. Possibly by another officer he knew. Likewise, eyewitnesses reported one or more other shooters throughout the mass murder—even after the Delta Force were on the island. So possibly, Brevik, on his own, did not shoot as many people as was desired, so others throughout were needed to do some of the killing. I already cited that Breivik apparently listened to the pleas of some of the young people begging to be spared. The long 90 minute delay was needed for several reasons. The real perpetrators wanted to make sure most of those shot would bleed out, and to survey and verify all this, and for escape of any other shooters there, unless they were killed too after their acts. It is even possible that the police officer killed first participated in the killing before being killed himself by either Breivik or others.

The various and contradictory excuses cited for the delay are absurd. Obviously they did not want to get there quickly, so no helicopter could be used. If no police helicopter were available, I am sure the Norwegian military has several that could have quickly been employed!

The collusion of the worldwide media, after the fact, is obvious. Many of these “journalists” are British, and thus are either MI5/6 agents or assets controlled by same. The meme that the authorities just couldn’t get there any earlier, and that there was the usual “lone nut” perpetrator must be maintained by the MSM. I particularly note British BBC journalist, Gavin Hewitt who wrote about victim and survivor, Adrian Pracon . Pracon was interviewed in the hospital. Hewitt’s BBC piece said that Breivik “had disabled the ferry to prevent others reaching the island.” How could Pracon or Hewitt know whether Breivik had actually disabled the ferry or not? Recall how after 9/11, Felipe David’s own words say his skin melted off him without any fire. And later someone else adds, “fire down the elevator shaft” that would be parroted by both the MSM and bogus conspiracy sites. Also lied about, or ignored by the MSM, are the sources of Breivik’s alleged fertilizer and ammunition. Poland denied that the alleged Polish source had been arrested, as well as stating that most of the fertilizer allegedly used was not even from Poland, but was Scandinavian. The bullets for all the shooting are now said to have been ordered from the USA and mailed to Norway. See: http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/07/alleged-norway-killer-bought-ammunition-clips-from-u-s/ This sounds quite absurd, as all countries use their postal service as part of their banning whatever it is they ban from direct sales within their country.

The decreasing of the number of previously “confirmed” dead is also telling. When have such numbers gone down, and not up? Furthermore such numbers usually go up later as some of the injured die. When this doesn’t happen, it implies that the PTB provide a “final” number that cannot be publicly changed. The other unnamed person shot, in Sandnes, Norway,by two masked men in military uniform two days later may have been to silence someone who knew too much and/or threatened to spill the beans.

One thing is clear from this Op. As the police and Govt were certainly in on this, the only way, the people on the island could have saved themselves was if they had been armed themselves. It shows what gun control is really all about—ensuring that only the regimes’ mass murdering agents have guns. The people who will grab you and either shoot you immediately or transport you to some concentration camp should be the only ones with guns. The German Nazi regime only opened their camps after they removed guns from their peoples. How wonderful would if be now if a few 18 year olds had killed Breivik and whatever police or other assistants he had on the island?

Now for the deeper aspects. One conspiracy site has this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajhzmRNQW8&feature=player_embedded, apparently titled, “Special Report--Norway Massacre, Winehouse, Templar Cartel--All Roads Lead to Rome.” I do not know Josh Reeves. I am glad he doesn’t tout the usual idiocy on nearly all conspiracy sites. I have long written that “London, Rome, and Beyond” are in charge on this Planet. And Reeves does not know or get into Quarantine Escape, that I have detailed is the ultimate reason for all such mass murders. Reeves ties in the OD, or murder?, of Amy Winehouse and the arrest of a major, Mexican drug lord—and Knight Templar—around the same time as the Norwegian mass murder.

The Norwegian mass murders show how Norway, like apparently all nations, is infiltrated and controlled by secret societies. Their top politicians, military, and police are implicated in this dastardly Op that killed dozens of their own young people. That many were the “future stars” of the current, ruling Labour Party implies that the “official” Gov’t did something the PTB didn’t like. It’s a message to other countries in Europe and the world. “We can kill plenty of your children any time we want.”

Secret society infiltration and control of a country may occur in top to bottom fashion, or the reverse, or perhaps all levels of society are involved simultaneously. If the first method occurs, first a President, Prime Minister or King or Queen is a top member of the secret society, or controlled by a top member. Let us look at the USA. Recall that many of the founding fathers of the USA were top level Freemasons. Some like George Washington were 33rd degree Freemasons. Some have even alleged, based on appearance, that Washington was really Adam Weisshaupt, founder of the Illuminati. There is definitely some facial similarity. Others have shown how Freemasons are controlled by the Jesuits. And I have always stated that while MI6 controls all the other intel agencies of other counties—CIA, KGB/FSB, Mossad, etc.—it is itself controlled by the secret societies out of Rome. These include the Jesuits, Templars, Knights of Malta, P2 Lodge. While the Josh Reeves video implies the Vatican is some ultimate power, the societies I just cited, in fact, control the Vatican.

But getting back to Secret Society control of a country, such as the USA, it apparently occurred in top to bottom fashion. The very founders were 33^rd degree Freemasons. Later, top legislators, judges, and military generals and admirals would be FMs. Then would come police chiefs, journalists, attorneys, medical examiners and other top medical people in the govt. Then top people in education and industry.

There was both knowledge and opposition to Freemason and Jesuit takeover of the USA in the first 100 years of this alleged republic. There even was an “Anti-Masonic Party.” And a few Presidents warned the people, even in their Inaugural Addresses of the danger coming from England and the Jesuits. They usually didn’t last long, to wit the poisoning—according to Sherman Skolnick—of President William Henry Harrison. His Inauguration was on March 4, 1841, and he died on April 4, 1841. Just as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed on the one-year anniversary of his first speech against the War on Vietnam.

But the simple truth about secret society control is that it is tenuous and there are so many more of good, non-monster controlled people, who would have a good chance of defeating the lackeys that are ready to blow a president’s brains out, poison a citizen for speaking out on this 30-40 years later (me), or massacre dozens of teenagers, or for that matter wage perennial war on Mankind.

The PTB, so fear the words of Malcolm X—“by any means necessary.” But this is what glib Americans condescendingly told German citizens when they said, “what could we have done to stop Hitler?”

The people of Norway need to realize what the July 22 Mass Murders really implies about their political, military and police leaders. And to act on this, as ignoring or blindly obeying only emboldens murderers. The advice goes to the people of all countries. It is only going to get much, much worse soon if good people do not resist —“by any means necessary.” As the long range past indicates, they likely have in mind the elimination of all of us as part of Quarantine Escape. And the evil, stupid, and gutless lackeys who carry out such Ops as the Norway mass murder of mostly young people,` are doing such things for those who plan to annihilate all of Mankind, including them and their own children.

Additional Thoughts on the Breivik-Norway Psy-Op

by Spooked


1) to the credit of the Norwegian Prime Minister, he seems to be resisting to urge to use this catastrophe to push an expanded police state, at least publicly and for now.

2) as to when numbers killed have gone down, not up, that did occur on 9/11, when initial estimates were up to 10,000 killed, and that was steadily revised down. This sort of over-estimation of those killed may reflect part of the propaganda campaign to induce more shock in the public. Or there may be a certain number of people "desired" to be killed, for whatever sick reasons the PTB desire.

3) there were a few reports of a 2nd shooter on the island, but those have disappeared, very typically, as the media focuses on the "lone nut" gunman.

4) Breivik was clearly influenced (controlled?) by right-wing bigots, who push an extreme fear of Muslims as part of their propaganda efforts, and who must be intel agents at some level.

5) Breivik claimed he was part of larger right-wing terror group, but this storyline is also fading, and will likely disappear from the media accounts.

6) we will know if Norway is serious about attacking those who did this, if they crack down on intelligence agencies in any way-- but I will be surprised if they do.

7) This video is very interesting and well-worth watching/listening.

Police State Watch-- Creating a Massive Database of Internet Activity

The House Judiciary Committee approved legislation on Thursday that would require Internet service providers (ISPs) to collect and retain records about Internet users' activity.

CNET reported the bill would require ISPs to retain customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses for 12 months.

The bill passed by a vote of 19 to 10, and is aimed at helping law enforcement track down pedophiles.

"The bill is mislabeled," Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), a senior member of the panel told CNET. "This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes."

The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 (H.R. 1981) was sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)

(snip)

"The data retention mandate in this bill would treat every Internet user like a criminal and threaten the online privacy and free speech rights of every American, as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have recognized," Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said.

"Requiring Internet companies to redesign and reconfigure their systems to facilitate government surveillance of Americans' expressive activities is simply un-American. Such a scheme would be as objectionable to our Founders as the requiring of licenses for printing presses or the banning of anonymous pamphlets."

This is clearly outrageous, and oh so typical for the crap they are throwing at us lately. As usual, they hide their worst plans under guise of protecting the children or some such blather. equally kowtow to the police state. If they really wanted to go after pedophiles, they should start with the Catholic church and the intel agencies.

And then there is this:

"The man who headed the NSA and CIA under President George W. Bush suggested Friday that mercenaries were needed to deal with growing cyber threats.

Gen. Michael Hayden told the Aspen Security Forum that in the near future, the Department of Defense may have to allow the creation of a “digital Blackwater.”"

It's amazing how evil people like this are completely unaware that they are evil, and what evil they propose.

WTC Elevator Renovation?

What elevator renovation?

Yeah, nothing suspicious about the disappearance of THOSE records-- except that they probably give critical clues to who was involved in lacing the WTC towers with several small nuclear devices prior to 9/11.

Anders Behring Breivik, Norwegian Mass Murderer. Is He Freemason, Knights Templar, Brit, Nut, Patsy, Other, or All—or None— of the Above?

By The Anonymous Physicist, Copyright 2011. All Rights Reserved

Anders Behring Breivik, 32, on July 22, 2011 allegedly blew up a fertilizer car bomb in Oslo, and later—while dressed in a police uniform— shot and killed many people on Utøya island, the site of a Labour Party youth camp. The current death total attributed to him is 76 with nearly 100 others injured. Anders Behring Breivik allegedly confessed to the attacks, saying he was trying to save the Western world from Muslim colonization. We will look at this person and his alleged actions.

First I note that Breivik, was born in London. Does this not make him a British citizen? This question has been ignored by both the MSM and internet conspiracy websites, per usual. Wikipedia also curiously reports “according to a childhood friend, Breivik undertook cosmetic surgery of his forehead, nose and chin in the USA a few years ago.”

I will come back to Breivik, after going over his alleged mass murdering. The Oslo center car bomb killed 8 people. A Norwegian website states that the “bomb blast damaged the doors of Oslo Fire Station.” And also that “News of the death toll reached the Prime Minister at about 3.30am on Saturday morning.” http://theforeigner.no/pages/news/stoltenberg-led-from-below-the-rubble/ Thus we see one of several 33’s in this Op-Plan. I also note that Breivik is 32—one year short of the Freemason’s coveted 33. Damaging the Oslo Fire Station has been cited as one of several excuses for the slow response of Norwegian authorities. It is also a hallmark of intel agency Ops. To succeed in either a single death of a famous person, or a mass murder of people, the regular authorities must be put out of action, in any one of many ways. When Rev. Martin Luther King was shot, his hotel room phone went down, and an ambulance could not be called by his associates.

There are many anomalies in Breivik’s shooting and killing of 68 young people on the island. At first, “confirmed” reports said the death toll there was 86. A few days later it was changed to 68. Curiously, this is a reversal of 86, and they both, of course, total 14. I do not know if that has significance here. Many of the young people killed were involved in the governing Labour Party, and some were slated as its future stars.

Although the island is only about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Norwegian capital, police needed 90 minutes to get to the scene. Various excuses have been offered. These excuses include that they had no operational helicopter; the chopper crew was on vacation, the boat to the island started to sink, and they had to switch boats. Then there are several eyewitnesses who said they saw two men shooting. http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=130515

The first 4 victims’ names revealed by the Norwegian Gov’t, or Police, were Gunnar Linaker, 23, Tove Aashill Knutsen, 56, Hanna M. Orvik Endresen, 61, and Kai Hauge, 33. Naturally one of the very first revealed is 33 years old. One victim was Trond Berntsen, was the step-brother of the Crown Princess of Norway. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018713/Anders-Behring-Breivik-Norway-massacre-killer-links-British-extremists.html#ixzz1TMRCvCUV

One victim and survivor is Adrian Pracon . He was interviewed in the hospital by BBC British journalist, Gavin Hewitt. His BBC piece says that Breivik “was wearing a policeman's uniform and had disabled the ferry to prevent others reaching the island. Adrian thought these would be his last moments. He pleaded with Breivik not to shoot, to spare him and incredibly the gunman walked away….At one point a 10-year-old boy approached the gunman and told him that his father was already gone and that he didn't want to die. Breivik did not shoot him.” Though Breivik first spared Pracon, he was shot later on in a group of people and feigned being dead. But we see that Breivik at times calmly spared some people. The article implies that the 10 year old was not shot. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14268370 I note that this BBC reporter. Hewitt is described on Wiki as doing “the first British television interview with [intel agent] Oliver North after the Iran-Contra scandal.

To me, one of the most startling revelations, of events on the island, is this account: “An hour after the shooting began, Julie Bremnes, 16, texted: "The police are here." But 15 minutes later she revealed: "He's still shooting!" http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3716616/NORWEGIAN-killing-spree-maniac-Anders-Breivik-planned-a-second-bonus-massacre-after-breaking-out-of-prison-it-emerged-today.html Could some of the police have aided Breivik in killing people? The Sun article also states “Survivors said they struggled to get their panicked pleas heard because operators on emergency lines were rejecting calls not connected to an earlier bomb detonated in Oslo.” It also has this on the police excuses, “Meanwhile it emerged that Norway's special forces suffered the tragic mishap of having to abandon their overloaded boat during the scramble to reach Utoya island when it began taking on water...It belonged to the local police department and within seconds the engine became waterlogged and died. …Delta Force police officers then had to borrow a second boat from a tourist after making the 25-mile journey to the shore by car because they have no helicopter.“ But Time magazine has a different story. “Delta Force defended the special operations team… A media helicopter was already hovering over the island when police arrived…. When word of the shooting came, police drove rather than take a helicopter because the crew of the sole chopper available to them was on vacation.” http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2085485,00.html#ixzz1TLsU7uVV

The Intel agencies and secret societies that control the MSM have not done a good job here. Another thing that has changed, is that initially it was reported that the Polish Gov’t or police arrested the Pole that sold the fertilizer to Breivik. But this has now been denied. “Breivik said in his manifesto that he had rented his farm and created a fake business there as cover for ordering six metric tons of fertilizer — an integral component of the Oslo bomb.” http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/7451408.html

Another strange occurrence is that a “Norwegian newspaper, VG, reports that an off-duty plain-clothes officer on the island was also a victim of Breivik.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018280/Norway-massacre-Why-did-police-long-reach-Utoya-island.html#ixzz1TMAjHC69 And another excuse is that Norway’s policy is not to allow police to have instant access to their own firearms. A supervisor’s apparently, written permission is a prerequisite. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/world/europe/26police.html Also the police knew the name of gunman Anders Behring Breivik before they arrested him. http://www.prisonplanet.com/police-knew-gunmans-name-before-arrest.html

But one of the most telling anomalies is that Oslo police were conducting a bombing exercise at a location near the Oslo Opera House just 48 hours before a terrorist blast hit a government building in Oslohttp://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=16170 This is the now standard clue to intel agency control of an event, as the WTC, and the London bombings showed. Video of the police “exercise” is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMCLalyn1Xs&feature=player_embedded

A Brit, Craig Murray, reports that http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2011/07/new-norwegian-killing/on “July 24^th, two masked men in military uniform shot dead a 27 year old man in his home in Sandnes, Norway. Nowhere in the mainstream media can I find anybody wondering whether this is related to the massacre in Norway the day before – even though both were killings with guns, (very rare in Norway), and either this guy really was assassinated by soldiers, or both were carried out in false uniform.” Curiously, Murray was British Ambassador to Uzbekistan. I would ask, was this person silenced because he knew something? We don’t seem to even have the name of this person!

Now let us look deeper into both Breivik, and what may be behind this mass murder. Breivik was a known Freemason, and was a member of St. Olaus T.D. Tre Søiler No. 8 [Freemason Lodge] in Oslo. [Wiki] He also is said to be a member of, or to be associated with, the Knights Templar [KT]. The Knights Templar’s earliest recorded function was in 1119. Note the 9/11 reversal. Breivik claims association with a modern Templar Order, whose full name is the "Pauperes Commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici", or PCCTS, which is said to have been established in London in April 2002. I saw Breivik’s youtube video, “The Knight Templar 2083” on redicecreations after it was removed from youtube. Now Redice has been banned from showing it too. It was convoluted, and to me, was an obvious intel agency legend creation. The first photo of Breivik released showed him in proud Freemason garb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9giR4zoYnnw&feature=player_embedded Brevik has also been portrayed as a user of anabolic steroids {testosterone.).

WaPo has Breivik’s entire 1516 page Manifesto, “2083: A European Declaration of Independence”, here:http://www.washingtonpost.com/r/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2011/07/24/National-Politics/Graphics/2083+-+A+European+Declaration+of+Independence.pdf It begins with a cover page with the Knights Templar’s red cross. Note that the same large red crosses can be seen in photos of the English Defense League (EDL) March in Newcastle in 2010 that Breivik allegedly attended. But we learn from the Norwegian site, NRK.no that Breivik’s alleged, original manifesto has verbatim copy from Ted Kaczyinski’s manifesto. And while I originally thought that the Unabomber was his own man, I now learn that, as a Harvard undergrad student, in the 50’s and 60’s, he “volunteered” for psychological experiments with Henry Murray, M.D. But Murray, an OSS/CIA asset, was under the aegis of notorious CIA LSD/Mind Control experimenter, Sydney Gottlieb, PhD [Chemistry]. The CIA controlled those experiments, and we know the CIA never lets anyone go. So maybe the Unabomber was always another agent or patsy for the CIA in everything he did.http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=16207 And Breivik using Kaczinski’s manifesto as his own, may all be MITOP. Are the secret societies and intel agencies thus Making It Transparent On Purpose that this Op is one of theirs?

There is much out there on Breivik’s alleged involvement with the “right wing, anti Islam,” English Defense League (EDL). See here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8661139/Norway-killer-Anders-Behring-Breivik-had-extensive-links-to-English-Defence-League.html and here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018865/Norway-shooting-Anders-Behring-Breivik-marched-English-Defence-League.html The latter article notes that “the Norwegian gunman who slayed 76 people on Friday took part in a march organized by the far-right movement in Newcastle in May 2010 —and another in London.” So Breivik made several recent trips to the U.K., and a few years earlier to the USA “to get cosmetic surgery.” More on people who say they saw Breivik at EDL functions is here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018713/Anders-Behring-Breivik-Norway-massacre-killer-links-British-extremists.html#ixzz1TMRklzAH

Now note that the Newcastle, EDL May, 2010 march is replete with many people flying the identical Knights Templar red cross flags from their windows and such. So EDL is apparently connected with the KT. But we should never forget that anything put out for the public is highly suspect, and often turns out to be limited hangouts. The MSM will likely continue to spin the Islam/Arabs as the real culprits angle, while all the intel agency-run Internet conspiracy sites will have their usual “Mossad did it all” nonsense. Here of course, we have the connections to the UK and the USA. But that won’t stop all the paid assets and their clueless regurgitators.

Beivik’s Facebook page was changed after the killings. He went from anti-Nazi to pro-Nazi. And they seem to have removed his “liking” Stock Analysis and the TV series, “Dexter.” http://cofcc.org/2011/07/norwegian-killer-facebook-hoax/ Who doesn’t like Dexter? But alas, Dexter will never be seen going after the real serial and mass murderers in the Gov’t.

As to reasons why the mass murder of mostly young Norwegian people was carried out, we have several possibilities, and, of course, only the doers, the PTB, know the particulars here. But first, we see that Norway’s Foreign Minister, Jonas Gahr Store, went to that island the day before. http://theintelhub.com/2011/07/23/breaking-camp-in-norway-where-shooting-occurred-had-just-concluded-pro-palestinian-rally-the-day-before/ “The Foreign Minister was met with claims that Norway must recognize a Palestinian state when he visited the Labour Youth League summer camp Thursday…As the foreign minister arrived Utøya he was met with a demand from the AUF that Norway must recognize a Palestinian state.” Norway had also recently opted out of continued bombing of Libya.

This event, of course, contains the usual, Op of removing all guns from everyone. And in particular, the European Union wants to launch an“extremist early warning system”, despite the fact that EU treats legitimate criticism of its own institution as “extremism.” http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=16247

Was this mass murder NATO’s revenge for Norway’s decision to stop bombing Libya? Or could there be a causal factor that is far deeper, and related to Quarantine Escape? Recall the strange spiral in the sky over Norway 2 years ago. See here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxA0Asq2YDg This video contains a final sequence I had not seen before.

Is something far deeper going on in Norway? This was an extreme event as Norway’s small population makes the 76 death toll, equivalent to approx. 4000 Americans. And these were mostly young people.

We will have to see what happens to Breivik in the months and years to come. But for the first time, as we wind down to 2012, we have a murderous Op where Freemasons and Knights Templar are curiously involved, or at least used for some reason. Have some of the top rats (proudly) shown themselves?

Proof of Video Fakery, Presented in the Most Annoying Way Possible

Why do people do this?

33 of the Day

This is just perfect, in terms of 33's:

U.S. trucking funds reach Taliban, military-led investigation concludes... According to a summary of the investigation results, compiled in May and reviewed by The Washington Post, the military found “documented, credible evidence . . . of involvement in a criminal enterprise or support for the enemy” by four of the eight prime contractors. Investigators also cited cases of profiteering, money laundering and kickbacks to Afghan power brokers, government officials and police officers. Six of the companies were found to have been associated with “fraudulent paperwork and behavior.”

(snip)

The military summary included several case studies in which money was traced from the U.S. Treasury through a labyrinth of subcontractors and power brokers. In one, investigators followed a $7.4 million payment to one of the eight companies, which in turn paid a subcontractor, who hired other subcontractors to supply trucks.

The trucking subcontractors then made deposits into an Afghan National Police commander’s account, already swollen with payments from other subcontractors, in exchange for guarantees of safe passage for the convoys. Intelligence officials traced $3.3 million, withdrawn in 27 transactions from the commander’s account, that was transferred to insurgents in the form of weapons, explosives and cash.

Kucinich Calls Out Obama

Last Friday, the president told the nation that he offered a plan that would cut $650 billion from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Last night in his address to the nation, the president didn't want to 'bore' Americans with the details of his plan but threatened that Congress must accept a deal on the debt ceiling or seniors face the possibility that Social Security checks won't go out.

Curiously, the president didn't explain in his primetime address to the nation that 'the deal' he has been advocating cuts Social Security benefits and pushes back the retirement age. These changes are unwarranted and indefensible.

Social Security is 100% wholly funded up to the year 2036 without any changes whatsoever. It has no place in the debt ceiling debate at all. Furthermore, it is not the government's money but the money of the workers who have paid into the program their entire lives.

Threatening the withholding of Social Security checks to advance an agenda that includes cutting Social Security benefits is not befitting of the Democratic Party, it is not fair to the American people, and it represents a sellout of the interests of seniors.

I want to be supportive of the president. It would be easier to be supportive if the president's candor matched the level of his eloquence.

Of course, it has been known for a while what Obama is really about, to those paying attention. (And unfortunately, I didn't pay attention soon enough)

Overall, about the completely fucked up situation in DC, this piece is good.

UPDATE 8/27/11: Another long list of disappointments from the Obama admin here. An explanation of why the Obama admin is actively bad and not simply helpless because the Repubs control of the House.

Deep Thought of the Day

Chris Hedges is a really annoying writer.

Yet Another Power Grab and an Erosion of the American Government

The elites have found another clever way to screw us:

WASHINGTON -- Debt ceiling negotiators think they've hit on a solution to address the debt ceiling impasse and the public's unwillingness to let go of benefits such as Medicare and Social Security that have been earned over a lifetime of work: Create a new Congress.

This "Super Congress," composed of members of both chambers and both parties, isn't mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, but would be granted extraordinary new powers. Under a plan put forth by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his counterpart Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation to lift the debt ceiling would be accompanied by the creation of a 12-member panel made up of 12 lawmakers -- six from each chamber and six from each party.

Legislation approved by the Super Congress -- which some on Capitol Hill are calling the "super committee" -- would then be fast-tracked through both chambers, where it couldn't be amended by simple, regular lawmakers, who'd have the ability only to cast an up or down vote. With the weight of both leaderships behind it, a product originated by the Super Congress would have a strong chance of moving through the little Congress and quickly becoming law. A Super Congress would be less accountable than the system that exists today, and would find it easier to strip the public of popular benefits. Negotiators are currently considering cutting the mortgage deduction and tax credits for retirement savings, for instance, extremely popular policies that would be difficult to slice up using the traditional legislative process.

Another Mass Shooting by a Lone Gunman, Another Question of How

Granted, it is hard to know exactly what it was like there, but you have here one dude with a gun (guns?), and 600 other people, and the guy just methodically went around killing everyone without anyone trying to stop him? It just makes no sense, that in that group, there wouldn't be some people who would try to be a hero -- to stop the killing-- and mount a sneak attack on the gunman to take him out. Why does everyone-- officially-- in these situations apparently just cower and/or run? This is what we are supposed to believe, anyway. For instance, in that Fort Hood killing with a huge number of soldiers-- no one could stop the guy? The reality, of course, may be very different-- with multiple gunman. But of course the official story they always put out is absurd, and the media always dutifully laps it up.

Of course, even here, there are reports of a second gunman, but who wants to bet that this will go away and the story will resolve officially into one lone crazed gunman.

This is interesting:

Related good points from Activist.

Typical, how there was an initial rush to blame the attack on Islamic terrorists by the media.

Song of the Day

Norway Terror Suspect

Wild:

Anders Behring Breivik, who has been arrested over yesterday's attacks.

One of the few who knew him, who have spoken so far, was an anonymous friend who told the Norwegian newspaper VG that Breivik had been a far right winger since at least his late twenties, when he had begun posting a series of controversial opinions on Facebook.

What has emerged so far paints a disturbing picture: a Christian fundamentalist with a deep hatred of multiculturalism in his country, of the left and of Muslims who had written disparagingly of prominent Norwegian politicians. A far of violent video games as well who some former neighbours have told Norwegian media had sometimes been seen in "military-style" clothing.

In the pictures that have so far emerged of him Breivik appears well dressed, slender and clean-shaven, a picture of the young entrepreneur he wanted to be.

Breivik's businesses, however, were not much of a success, each one of them being dissolved after a short while after making a loss until he established his farm business in 2009 and moved out of Oslo.

But the man who listed Kafka and George Orwell's 1984 as his favourite books on Facebook, made little secret to the friends he had, or others on the Christian fundamentalist and far right websites that he frequented, of his racist views.

The darkest side of all was revealed not only in the killings but in how he undertook them, not least on the island teaming with several hundred teenagers, where wearing earplugs and a police uniform he calmly called over his victims to join him so he could begin his
executions.

A Freemason, reportedly a body builder and a hunter with two registered weapons – a Glock pistol and an automatic rifle - it has been Breivik's online profile that has, so far supplied the most public information.

Breivik was also a former "a youth member" of his country's conservative Progress Party – a party he criticised in one posting for embracing "multi-culturalism" and "political correctness" rather than taking an "idealistic stand". Despite that, those who knew him in the party then, described him as "calm and quiet", his extremism coming later.

A second suspect has been arrested, apparently. No detail on him.

Again, I don't see how one guy could kill so many people without being taken down. He had a handgun and a shotgun? Very inefficient to have a shotgun.

The Utoya island camp where so many were killed was a training camp for Norwegian Labour youth.

33 of the Day

A large explosion shook central Oslo on Friday and blew out the windows of several government buildings, including one housing the office of the Norwegian prime minister, according to local media reports. There were initial reports of several injuries.

The sound of the blast echoed across the city just before 3:30 local time, and a giant cloud of white smoke continued to rise hundreds of feet into the air over the city as a fire burned in one of the buildings. Reuters said the fire was in the building housing the country’s oil ministry.

Now they are saying 80+ dead by one gunman on an island (the gunman-- they are calling a right-wing nut-- is related to the bombing?)? This is farkin' bizarre, and sounds like a total psy-op.

And then there is this.

2004 Presidential Election in Ohio-- Still Hacked!

But there is some new evidence:

A new filing in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell case includes a copy of the Ohio Secretary of State election production system configuration that was in use in Ohio's 2004 presidential election when there was a sudden and unexpected shift in votes for George W. Bush.

The filing also includes the revealing deposition of the late Michael Connell. Connell served as the IT guru for the Bush family and Karl Rove. Connell ran the private IT firm GovTech that created the controversial system that transferred Ohio's vote count late on election night 2004 to a partisan Republican server site in Chattanooga, Tennessee owned by SmarTech. That is when the vote shift happened, not predicted by the exit polls, that led to Bush's unexpected victory. Connell died a month and a half after giving this deposition in a suspicious small plane crash. (snip)
Until now, the architectural maps and contracts from the Ohio 2004 election were never made public, which may indicate that the entire system was designed for fraud. In a previous sworn affidavit to the court, Spoonamore declared: "The SmarTech system was set up precisely as a King Pin computer used in criminal acts against banking or credit card processes and had the needed level of access to both county tabulators and Secretary of State computers to allow whoever was running SmarTech computers to decide the output of the county tabulators under its control."

Spoonamore also swore that "...the architecture further confirms how this election was stolen. The computer system and SmarTech had the correct placement, connectivity, and computer experts necessary to change the election in any manner desired by the controllers of the SmarTech computers.

Did Obama Threaten to Veto a Bill Authorizing the Intel Budget If It Contained a Provision About Investigating the Anthrax Attacks?

It was reported here:

Bloomberg is reporting that Office of Management and Budget head Peter Orszag has told the intelligence committees Obama will veto the intelligence authorization because–among other reasons–it calls for re-examining the FBI’s conspiracy theory-as-investigation summary finding that Bruce Ivins acted alone. (h/t fatster)

President Barack Obama probably would veto legislation authorizing the next budget for U.S. intelligence agencies if it calls for a new investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks, an administration official said.A proposed probe by the intelligence agencies’ inspector general “would undermine public confidence” in an FBI probe of the attacks “and unfairly cast doubt on its conclusions,” Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence committees.

Oddly, though, this link is just from last year, and the Bloomberg article is gone-- not even in the WayBack machine!-- as well as the RawStory piece that also mentioned this.

Down the fugging memory hole-- again.

Of course, at least the story is repeated many places on the intertubez.

"Murdoch Eavesdropping Op Amateurish Next to U.S. and UK Snooping"

Well said, though I tend to think that Murdoch's operation was tied in with the National Security State in some manner, and that they didn't manually hack into thousands of phones. They must have HAD HELP.

Bruce Ivins: Still Dead, and Still Not the Anthrax Killer

Surprise...

Shortly after Ivins committed suicide in 2008, federal investigators announced that they had identified him as the mass murderer who sent the letters to members of Congress and the media. The case was circumstantial, with federal officials arguing that the scientist had the means, motive and opportunity to make the deadly powder at a U.S. Army research facility at Fort Detrick, in Frederick, Md.

On July 15, however, Justice Department lawyers acknowledged in court papers [3] that the sealed area in Ivins' lab—the so-called hot suite—did not contain the equipment needed to turn liquid anthrax into the refined powder that floated through congressional buildings and post offices in the fall of 2001.

Phone Hacking 9/11 Victims

Supposedly by Murdoch's "News of the World" reporters. Lots of questions are unanswered about this, and there is an "official" investigation underway, but the big question for me is whether messages were deleted that didn't support the official story, using these reporters as "cover-up" goons. It's also conceivable info was hacked INTO the phones, to support the official story. But who knows if we will ever find out the "truth".

WTC Modeling-- The Quest Continues

Back in 2006-2007, I tried to model the WTC "collapses" a few times with physical models-- and failed. I had trouble building a tower structure that cold support its own weight but undergo top-down collapse.

I'm glad to see some people continuing this. I was very on board with this video, until I saw that the person put in 33 washers to mimic floors. Nonetheless, the model is quite clever-- using washers anchored around a central core dowel. The main problem is that it's hard to know how realistic the strength of this model is. Since this looks relatively straight-forward to set up, what I might try to do, is modify this, with higher paper "walls", such that it is as weak as possible, and see if progressive collapse is possible.


Still the point remains about the impossible collapses, and you'd think someone supporting the official story would have made a proper model that underwent top-down collapse by now-- if that were reality.

Unpacking Presidential Boilerplate Bullshit on the Military

I couldn't agree more with this analysis:

These days [Obama] can barely open his mouth without also bowing down before the U.S. military in ways that once would have struck Americans as embarrassing, if not incomprehensible. In addition, he regularly prostrates himself before this country’s special mission to the world and never ceases to emphasize that the United States is indeed an exception among nations. Finally, in a way once alien to American presidents, he invokes God’s blessing upon the military and the country as regularly as you brush your teeth.

Think of these as the triumvirate without which no Obama foreign-policy moment would be complete: greatest military, greatest nation, our God. And in this he follows directly, if awkwardly, in Bush's footsteps.

I wouldn’t claim that Americans had never had such thoughts before, only that presidents didn’t feel required to say them in a mantra-like way just about every time they appeared in public. Sometimes, of course, when you feel a compulsion to say the same things ad nauseam, you display weakness, not strength; you reveal the most fantastic of fantasy worlds, not a deeper reality.

The president’s recent Afghan remarks were, in this sense, par for the course. As he plugged his plan to bring America’s “long wars” to what he called “a responsible end,” he insisted that “[l]ike generations before, we must embrace America’s singular role in the course of human events.” He then painted this flattering word portrait of us:

“We’re a nation that brings our enemies to justice while adhering to the rule of law, and respecting the rights of all our citizens. We protect our own freedom and prosperity by extending it to others. We stand not for empire, but for self-determination... and when our union is strong no hill is too steep, no horizon is beyond our reach... we are bound together by the creed that is written into our founding documents, and a conviction that the United States of America is a country that can achieve whatever it sets out to accomplish.”

I know, I know. You’re wondering whether you just mainlined into a Sarah Palin speech and your eyes are glazing over. But hang in there, because that’s just a start. For example, in an Obama speech of any sort, what America’s soldiers never lack is the extra adjective. They aren’t just soldiers, but “our extraordinary men and women in uniform.” They aren’t justAmericans, but “patriotic Americans.” (Since when did an American president have to describe American soldiers as, of all things, “patriotic”?) And in case you missed the point that, in their extraordinariness and their outsized patriotism they are better than other Americans, he made sure to acknowledge them as the ones we “draw inspiration from.”

In a country that now “supports the troops” with bumper-sticker fervor but pays next to no attention to the wars they fight, perhaps Obama is simply striving to be the premier twenty-first-century American. Still, you have to wonder what such presidential fawning, omnipresent enough to be boilerplate, really represents. The strange thing is we hear this sort of thing all the time. And yet no one ever comments on it.

Oh, and let’s not forget that no significant White House moment ends these days without the president bestowing God’s blessing on the globe’s most extraordinary nation and its extraordinary fighters, or as he put it in his Afghan remarks: “May God bless our troops. And may God bless the United States of America.”

The day after he revealed his drawdown plan to the nation, the president traveled to Ft. Drum in New York State to thank soldiers from the Army’s 10th Mountain Division for their multiple deployments to Afghanistan. Before those extraordinary and patriotic Americans, he quite naturally doubled down.

Summoning another tic of this presidential moment (and of the Bush one before it), he told them that they were part of “the finest fighting force in the world.” Even that evidently seemed inadequate, so he upped the hyperbole. “I have no greater job,” he told them, “nothing gives me more honor than serving as your commander in chief. To all of you who are potentially going to be redeployed, just know that your commander in chief has your back... God bless you, God bless the United States of America, climb to glory.”

As ever, all of this was overlooked. Nowhere did a single commentator wonder, for instance, whether an American president was really supposed to feel that being commander in chief offered greater “honor” than being president of a nation of citizens. In another age, such a statement would have registered as, at best, bizarre. These days, no one even blinks.

And yet who living in this riven, confused, semi-paralyzed country of ours truly believes that, in 2011, Americans can achieve whatever we set out to accomplish? Who thinks that, not having won a war in memory, the U.S. military is incontestably the finest fighting force now or ever (and on a “climb to glory” at that), or that this country is at present specially blessed by God, or that ours is a mission of selfless kindheartedness on planet Earth?

Obama’s remarks have no wings these days because they are ever more divorced from reality. Perhaps because this president in fawning mode is such an uncomfortable sight, and because Americans generally feel so ill-at-ease about their relationship to our wars, however, such remarks are neither attacked nor defended, discussed nor debated, but as if by some unspoken agreement simply ignored.

Here, in any case, is what they aren’t: effective rallying cries for a nation in need of unity. Here’s what they may be: strange, defensive artifacts of an imperial power in visible decline, part of what might be imagined as the Great American Unraveling. But hold that thought a moment. After all, the topic of the president’s remarks was Afghanistan.

Very odd that Manning had Obama admin connections. All data points to Manning being a controlled intel agent, part of a deep psy-op, with a mission we can only guess about.

Bush Administration War Criminals -- and Obama Administration War Criminals

Human Rights Watch makes fresh call for prosecuting the BUWC. Also see here. In the linked video, I think you would be hard pressed to find a bigger right-wing hack than John Baker. What a piece of scum.

As to the Obama administration:

In response to the growing controversy over the inhumane detention conditions of Bradley Manning, the U.N.'s top official on torture, Juan Mendez, announced last December that his office would formally investigate whether those conditions amounted to torture. Since then, the Obama administration has steadfastly rejected Mendez's repeated requests to interview Manning in private: something even Bush officials allowed for "high-level" Guantanamo detainees accused of being top Al Qaeda operatives.... Now, Mendez is publicly accusing the Obama administration of violating U.N. rules by refusing him private access to Manning...

FunVax -- A Scam?

This is interesting but a bit hard to believe. Not sure why it never came on my radar, but there is in fact an incredible amount of weird shit out there.





A believable debunking of the Pentagon video:


An overview from a contrarian:


Assuming the "leaked" Pentagon video is a scam, it is a pretty involved one. All the signs of this point to some sort of psy-op on some level. Either disinfo to stir people up or to shoot down the whole idea. What is true though, is that the "God Gene" hypothesis is real, and has been around for a while-- enough time for some sort of vaccine to be prepared. I guess the main problem with this is that it assumes that the Pentagon really wants to tamper Islam down, rather than kill and upset Muslims-- certainly almost all evidence points to the latter.

33 of the Day

A double, no less!

A 1-meter increase in sea level doesn't sound like much.

But the 3.3-foot rise would be enough to flood 90 percent of New Orleans, 33 percent of Virginia Beach, Va., and 18 percent of Miami, according to scientists.

With the release of a University of Arizona-led study earlier this week, evidence continues to mount that the polar ice sheets are melting at a rate that could profoundly affect coastal regions unless greenhouse gases are reduced worldwide, scientists say.

British Phone Hacking Scandal

I have yet to find *exactly HOW* so many phones were "hacked" into. Is it really that easy to hack a cell phone, or is there some spying/intel connection here? If the latter, this would certainly cement the idea of the media being joined at the hip with intel agencies.

Never Ending Murder by NATO

Please do what you can to protest this horror:

NATO air strikes in the Khost Province district of Shamal this morning killed at least 14 civilians including eight children. It was the second strike in the province this week, with a Tuesday attack killing as many as 11 other civilians.

NATO admitted to the first strike, but termed the slain “associated family members” of the Taliban they were trying to kill, and insisted some Taliban were killed. They have yet to comment on the new strike, though they did say they were investigating a third incident of civilian killings.

The third incident came Wednesday, when NATO air strikes killed a pair of young shepherds in the Ghazni Province. The provincial police chief confirmed that the deaths were the result of a NATO attack, but NATO insisted the attack had killed only one person, an insurgent.

The Khost killings sparked public protests with many hundreds of demonstrators taking part. The Karzai government has recently lashed NATO over civilian casualties, but has yet to respond to the latest incidents.

Obama Wants to Increase Military Spending More Than House GOP, In Times of Budget Cutting

I cannot believe this fucking insanity, I am disgusted beyond words.

WASHINGTON -- As it considers steep cuts to domestic programs in an effort to slash the deficit, the House is set to consider a defense spending bill on Wednesday that increases the Pentagon's budget by $17 billion.

The Defense Department appropriations bill includes $530 in base Pentagon spending, which is $8 billion less than President Obama's request for fiscal year 2012. There's an additional $118.6 billion for overseas contingency operations -- a $39 billion drop, reflecting the expected drawdown in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Republicans announced in May that they were going to try to cut $30 billion from federal agencies' operating budgets in order to deal with the growing deficit.

While the Pentagon isn't getting all the money the Obama administration would like it to receive, it's still in a significantly stronger position than many other government agencies. If the Pentagon gets its full $17 billion increase, that means that domestic agencies have to absorb $47 billion in cuts.

We are ruled by fucking psychopaths.

We Are All Israelis

According to Glenn Greenwald here (about 55minutes in), the modern use of the term "terrorism" originates with Israel, and refers to anyone who is in conflict with Israel.

Overall, the talk is a frightening look at how horrible the Obama administration is, in terms of civil liberties.


By the way, via the wikipedia page on terrorism, check out this amazing item:

13 Jan. 2008: Head of ISA defines a terrorist as any Palestinian killed by Israel

According to media reports, the head of the Israel Security Agency Yuval Diskin stated at today's meeting of the Israeli Cabinet that Israel has killed 1,000 terrorists in the Gaza Strip in the past two years, in operations by the IDF and the ISA.

The total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces in Gaza in 2006 and 2007 is 816. Of these, 152 were minors, including 48 under the age of 14. In addition, many men and women were killed in Gaza who took no part in the hostilities. It appears that the head of the ISA defines every Palestinian killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip as a terrorist.

The children killed in the Gaza Strip during this period include: Maria Akel, age 5; Aya al-Astel, age 8; Muhand Amen age 6; Yehia Abu Salmiya, age 9 and his brother Nasrallah, age 5; Maisa, Maryam, Saad and Mahmoud Othamneh ages 9 months to 10 years; Hadil Ghiben age 7; and Mahmoud and Sara Abu Ghazal, age 8.

What Is Really Stunning About American Politics Now

is not so much that Obama is really really bad (though he is), but how there is not one major credible person who is opposing him in the presidential race. It's almost like we are destined to be stuck with this Orwellian nightmare of the Obama presidency.

All I can wonder is that end times are coming.

There are however, a good number of third party candidates, and right now these are looking like a good option.

Bush Administration War Criminals Permanently Protected Thanks to the Obama Administration

Well, so much for all that then.

American war criminals, responsible for some of the most shameful and inexcusable crimes in the nation's history -- the systematic, deliberate legalization of a worldwide torture regime -- will be fully immunized for those crimes. And, of course, the Obama administration has spent years just as aggressively shielding those war criminals from all other forms of accountability beyond the criminal realm: invoking secrecy and immunity doctrines to prevent their victims from imposing civil liability, exploiting their party's control of Congress to suppress formal inquiries, and pressuring and coercing other nations not to investigate their own citizens' torture at American hands.

All of those efforts, culminating in yesterday's entirely unsurprising announcement, means that the U.S. Government has effectively shielded itself from even minimal accountability for its vast torture crimes of the last decade. Without a doubt, that will be one of the most significant, enduring and consequential legacies of the Obama presidency.

Grotesque--

Lest there be any doubt about what a profound victory this is for those responsible for the torture regime, consider the reaction of the CIA:

"On this, my last day as director, I welcome the news that the broader inquiries are behind us," said a statement from CIA Director Leon Panetta, who will take over as defense secretary on Friday. "We are now finally about to close this chapter of our agency's history" . . . . At CIA headquarters on Thursday, Holder’s announcement was greeted with relief. . . .

Consider what's being permanently shielded from legal accountability. The Bush torture regime extended to numerous prisons around the world, in which tens of thousands of mostly Muslim men were indefinitely imprisoned without a whiff of due process, and included a network of secret prisons -- "black sites" -- purposely placed beyond the monitoring reach of even international human rights groups, such as the International Red Cross.

Looks like an international court is the only way justice will ever be served in the near future.

War News Updates

Seems like Bush wasn't the only recent president to mislead the US into a war.

In that regard, interesting how "Air Force and Navy aircraft are still flying hundreds of strike missions over Libya despite the Obama administration’s claim that American forces are playing only a limited support role in the NATO operation." But I guess the key thing is that these missions aren't hostile, right?

Odd how American soldiers keep dying in Iraq, where the war was supposed to be over.

The new trend-- US can't get enough of robotic killers-- drones coming to Somalia now.

Even when the US withdraws troops, we get that troublesome number from the PTB: "Obama to announce withdrawal of 33,000 troops"

Ultimately, America's biggest business is, in fact, endless war.

A Movie and a Real-Life 33

Watched "Erin Brockovich" last night. Pretty good movie about the lawsuit against PG&E for poisoning the water supply in the town of Hinckley, CA. The movie is based on real-life, and the settlement for the case was: $333 million.

Some Problems with Vaccines

Just a few examples:

Contamination of some vaccines with SV40 virus, which can cause cancer.

HIV infection of the human population is likely to have started from contaminated Hepatitis B vaccine.

The flu vaccine is a total scam.

The anti-HPV vaccine Gardasil, is being forced upon young girls, with the result that it is causing more disease than it is preventing.

The smallpox vaccine is a fraud. Many other sources are easily found.

Thus, many vaccines have questionable or no real efficacy, they can cause terrible side-effects or even the same disease they are trying to stop, and they represent an opportunity for the PTB to inject god-knows-what into people. Certainly, they can be used to poison people with mercury and there is of course some indication that may be causing some of the increase in autism in young children who are forced to get large numbers of vaccines as they grow.

That being said, I think the immunological principle of vaccination is sound, and there appear to be vaccine success stories (e.g. Hepatitis B). But for the most part, the risks of vaccinations outweigh the benefits.

Importantly, for the most part, health against disease can be maintained by good sanitary practices and good nutrition.

UPDATE: Certainly disturbing that computer tycoon and plutocrat Bill Gates is on a mission to vaccinate every child on the planet.

The Current Republican Gamesmanship with the Debt Limit Is the Culmination of Their Master Plan

Republicans have long dreamed of destroying medicare and social security.

They happily cut taxes for 8 years under Bush and then insisted on no new taxes under Obama.

They supported unrestrained banking practices that led to the 2008 crash.

The national debt went up and up and up, but the Repubs kept increasing the debt limit.

Now, with the debt at historic level following the great recession of 2008-2009-- a recession their policies helped bring on-- the Republicans are insisting on draconian cuts to social programs-- when the debt problem has never been due to high levels of spending on social programs. The debt problem is due to tax cuts, the unpaid for wars of the Bush years, and the great recession of 2008-2009. But the Republicans are holding the country hostage to the debt limit increase-- which must be done-- in order to extort extreme cuts to social programs.

Isn't it obvious that this was the Republicans plan all along-- remember Grover Norquist and starving the government? The Republicans purposefully built up massive deficits JUST TO REACH THIS PIVOTAL MOMENT WHERE THEY CAN INSIST ON MASSIVE CUTS TO THE PROGRAMS THEY DETEST and starve the government.

This is the Republicans' moment-- and the really sad thing is that Obama and the Dems seem to be going mostly along with this scam: accepting massive spending cuts!

The criminal media won't talk about this, but it seems painfully obvious what is going on-- a massive wealth transfer AGAIN, from the poor to the rich. If the Dems don't stop this outrage somehow-- and by most accounts they already have-- they have failed in their biggest battle.

Pathetic and depressing.

But brilliant on the Republicans' part.
