Oliver Stone's Untold History of the US

I have not watched this yet but have heard about it.  Sounds like here he gets into some of the ugly truth about WWII.  I am posting in case anyone out there wants to watch it and comment on it before I have a chance.

UPDATE: So I watched this finally. It is actually just a fairly straight-forward overview of WWII. Nothing particularly controversial or deep here. It is good info, and a great synopsis of WWII. But nothing at all surprising or conspiracy-ish, sadly.

SpaceX's Elon Musk

It's hard to know what to make of this guy.  His work on private space rockets touches on conspiracy matters, and he owns an electric car company called Tesla Motors.  He seems fairly straight-forward here, not the smoothest talker nor super impressive... but he's obviously hugely successful and has a good physics perspective on energy.  He thinks carbon from burning carbon-based fuels will drive further climate change-- and I agree on that.  But I was most interested in what he would say about space.  And basically, he was incredibly matter of fact about it.  Believes in the moon landings seemingly in a sincere way, which is disturbing.  Gives no hint of anything unusual about leaving earth, a la quarantine type issues.  Nothing about extra-terrestrial life.  He almost made space travel and leaving the earth boring, which is a shame.  I just feel like this guy has to know something interesting about space, but there was no trace of it at all.  He either is just a total techno nerd, absorbed in his own issues, or is hiding something big. 

"Driving Drones Can Be a Drag"

Oh for fuck's sake:

On its surface, operating a military drone looks a lot like playing a video game: Operators sit at workstations, manipulating joysticks to remotely adjust a drone’s pitch and elevation, while grainy images from the vehicle’s camera project onto a computer screen. An operator can issue a command to fire if an image reveals a hostile target, but such adrenaline-charged moments are few and far between.

Instead, a drone operator — often a seasoned fighter pilot — spends most of his shift watching and waiting, as automated systems keep the vehicle running. Such shifts can last up to 12 hours, as is the case for operators of the MQ-1 Predator, a missile-loaded unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used by the U.S. Air Force for overseas surveillance and combat.

“You might park a UAV over a house, waiting for someone to come in or come out, and that’s where the boredom comes in,” says Mary “Missy” Cummings, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics and engineering systems at MIT. “It turns out it’s a much bigger problem in any system where a human is effectively babysitting the automation.”

Cummings says such unstimulating work environments can impair performance, making it difficult for an operator to jump into action in the rare instances when human input is needed. She and researchers in MIT’s Humans and Automation Lab are investigating how people interact with automated systems, and are looking for ways to improve UAV operator performance.

Fucking MIT, how can you write something like this with a straight face, without being ashamed?

Meanwhile, the Obama administration is supposedly working on new rules on drones, but the fact that more than 2500 people have been killed in this undeclared drone war, many of these strikes not even against enemies of the US and resulting in countless innocent people being killed-- it's simply evil and appalling.

Pentagon Lightpoles and a 9/11 Suspicious Death-- Chrisopher Landis

I already had Landis in the Suspicious 9/11-Related Deaths blog. But just recently found this, which has more details:

We were lucky enough to obtain the entire high full resolution Ingersoll collection on our first trip to Arlington from Christopher (Kit) Landis at the VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) who was the Operations Manager for Safety Service Patrol. He was in charge of road closures for road safety issues and potentially maintenance most notably of the light poles. We had specific questions for him regarding prior maintenance to the poles that were downed on 9/11 but he wasn't able to give us specific answers. He was notably nervous during our questions.

The VDOT takes care of all light pole maintenance as well and you can see me inspect the same style light poles that were downed on 9/11 in their yard here. These images will give you a perspective as to where the VDOT is in relation to the Pentagon and light poles which is where Christopher Landis worked and where I inspected the poles.

Getting the entire Ingersoll photo collection was a major score because there were some images we hadn't seen online and they were all the original super high resolution versions in order.

In an extremely strange and suspicious twist that we can only pray is a coincidence, about a week after we had obtained the CITGO witnesses testimony on film, Christopher Landis committed suicide. The obituary was published in the Washington post on November 16th 2006.

So this happened about 2.5 months after we met him and he gave us the images, and about a week after I was back there, had a tour of the VDOT again, and obtained the CITGO station witness interviews on camera. Coincidence? We can only hope so but he was a very young man with 4 young children (2 boys and 2 girls) and a great job. We definitely thought he was noticeably nervous when we talked with him.

So, presumably Landis knew something about the staging of the knocked down pentagon light poles.

Oddly, this 9/11 Anomaly site, which some nice stuff, has Landis listed as:

5. Christopher Landis. Was a motorist driving past the Pentagon when the cruise missile hit the building, he was first on the scene and to take photos of the Pentagon and surrounding debris.  The reports of what he saw were never published, his views were never aired. He was never seen by anyone again and a week later his body was found, he had apparently committed suicide.

I suspect this is just a mistake-- heresy-- but may be based on some obscure news piece. Obviously would be good if there was a link there, but there is not.

Lastly, though, I can't pass up the opportunity to note again how weird and absurd the Lloyde England light-pole into the taxi story is!

The Ultimate Truth of the Kennedy Assassination

On the 49th anniversary of the assasination--- in memory of The Anonymous Physicist


President Kennedy fought to rein in the warmongers, the covert-operators, the elite enslavers and so much more. He had taken steps to smash the Federal Reserve Bank, and created “U.S. Notes.” He had refused to go to war in Laos, and Vietnam (See “JFK and Vietnam” by John Newman or see the “Stars and Stripes” Newspaper for October, 1963 on bringing all the “advisors” home beginning in late 1963.) He had refused to invade Cuba during the Missile Crisis or to start the Big One. He refused to allow the Pentagon to do their Project Northwoods. He promised “Peace not just in our time, but for all time.” Listen to this. He promised Senator Mansfield that “after I am re-elected I will smash the CIA into a thousand pieces, and scatter them to the wind.” Noel Twyman’s book, “Bloody Treason”, even describes how— far beyond Northwood, and not reported— the Joint Chiefs pressured him to launch a “pre-emptive, full nuclear strike against the Soviet Union and China.” Because “with approaching nuclear parity we won’t be able to get away with it soon.” He even wanted to release information on who might be here and in charge of everything. The regime’s disinfo agents continue to lie with ubiquity about all these things. The dead man, and his brother Robert, can’t defend themselves. The so-called Warren Commission (WC) was composed primarily of his murderers or those beholden to them. The fatal “head shot from behind” has already been detailed here as both physically impossible, and contraindicated by all the treating physicians and the asst press secretary. Likewise the “magic bullet” theory from WC attorney and now-Senator, Arlen Spector, hitting five bones in two people and hanging out in midair for a second and a half and making turns without forces acting on it, and of course not being deformed, is laughably, physically impossible. This is equivalent to 911 with the 911 OC’s theory of gravity, in this instance “magically” exploding outward as well as downward, at that time.

On the internet’s many alleged truth sites, one can see some proclaim that “Kennedy’s assassination has nothing to do with today’s world” or that they flat out don’t care, or they believe the Warren Commission (while trying to proclaim that they don’t believe the 911 Commission). Of course, the simple truth is he was killed precisely so we would end up with this country in its present state of blatent fascism, world domination, world mass-murder, and perennial war. Some of the disinfo agents in the 911 field are the same disinfo people from the JFK ass’n field. From the very moment of the assassination to the present time, a whole industry of bogus investigations, books, authors, articles, museums, conferences, websites, etc, was created. The analogies with 911 are clear. Regarding Kennedy, for people that could see and think and rejected the impossible Oswald patsy story— Oswald himself being a CIA/ONI agent framed/murdered by his govt— there would be the unfolding Babel that it was done by the Mafia, Cuba/Castro, Johnson, Grassy Knoll, Israelis, etc. [Just as 911 has the official planes/fuel/pancaking theory, followed by disinfo theories of thermite and DEW—to hide the ultimate truth of nukes]. Jackie and everyone there saw and/or heard who fired the head shot, as this article and never-published book demonstrate. Even SS (Secret Service) agent Clint Hill, one of only a few SS agents not in on the plot, said to the WC that the fatal head shot did not come from a rifle. He said it was: “like the sound of shooting a revolver into something hard.”

In the Parkland Hospital O.R., only Agent Hill had his own revolver out and cocked the whole time! He knew Kennedy’s murderers were right there. See the books by Dr. Charles Crenshaw. There are some eye-openers therein. It has come out, elsewhere, that initially the FBI interrogated SS agents William Greer (driver) and Roy Kellerman (passenger side) for Kennedy’s murder. Perhaps the FBI attempted an arrest then (before Hoover called them off), because Crenshaw’s books detail how a SS agent knocked out an FBI agent with the butt of his machine gun— not used, of course, during the assassination.

Now I have seen over 20 different versions of the Zapruder film. I have already detailed how initially the regime forbade release of it, and printed reversed frames in Life Magazine; and likewise got cub reporter Dan Rather to proclaim Kennedy went forward in the limo from the fatal head shot. While the Zapruder film is heavily (and primitively) doctored, when released, it clearly shows Kennedy being slammed back in the limo, and then limply bouncing off the back seat and over to the left—after the slam backwards. If Kennedy had been hit from the right, he would have slammed into Jackie whose head was just to the left of his head. Also numerous witnesses detailed how Greer brought the limo to a complete halt, despite the film showing a steady speed of 10 mph or so. The film was duped onto the moving background of a version of itself. (No CGI then.) Twyman’s book (and many others) detail how there are numerous missing frames which accounts for his proof that Greer turns back to the front 2-3x faster than any other human could. Zapruder (Z) frames printed in the “Globe” showed smoke/exhaust from Greer’s gun.

But let us see what the Zapruder film shows and implies. After the first shot that hits Kennedy, he turns to Jackie for help and his arms reflexively start to come up towards his throat that now has been penetrated. He never moves after this. He also apparently tried to cough up the throat bullet as shown here.

It is clear he was paralyzed for the last 4-6 seconds of his life, but would have been conscious and knew what was happening to him. In all likelihood, a rifle with a special bullet (ice bullet containing shellfish poison was used by the CIA for these purposes) was fired from the Grassy Knoll (or elsewhere) at that time. Jackie first looked to Gov. Connally for help. Then she did as instructed by the S.S. in such an eventuality; she tried to force his elbows and him down, but he was rigid. Gov Connally had turned around to stare at who he knew was the sole target. He was known as LBJ (Little Boy Johnson, as he was Johnson’s puppet. Johnson threw a fit at JFK the night before to try to change the “seating” arrangements.) Connally is hit and yells out “My God they’re trying to kill us all.” [And not just Kennedy, as he had been promised.] After the fatal head shot, both Connallys can be briefly seen looking to the driver as they duck down to give him room. They had not ducked down earlier. On arrival at Parkland, the SS agents help Connally out, but leave Kennedy in the limo. The limo is soon washed down by the S.S. It is eventually destroyed. This too has numerous variations. One article had the air force admit it was later dropped from a C5A, from high altitude into the ocean. Elsewhere it is described as destroyed in more mundane fashion. (I guess they couldn’t ship it to China in those days.)

Who fired the fatal head shot? With a magnifying glass you can see a piece of the gun for yourself. No this will not come out and hit you on the head with clarity. The regime is not that stupid. Some whistleblower may have paid with his/her life for leaving this in; or the PTB often seem to want the intelligentsia to know who did it. Remember this is (primitively) doctored. Frame 313 is known to be the fatal head shot frame by all, and you can see this for yourself. If anyone says a different frame is the fatal head shot frame, you know what that means.

You can actually see that Greer's gun (lower right corner of frame-- usually cropped out of most versions of the film for obvious reasons) was not completely erased. Use a magnifying lens; much better still, get a printed version such as is in Twyman’s (or other) book-- it is clearer than on a monitor. Do this if you really care about truth and justice. The top piece of the gun (i.e., the Sun’s reflection off of it) is visible over the head of Kellerman, and sticking out slightly also to the left of his head. See the curvature of Kellerman's black-haired head. Then see that the bright object above it, and a little piece of it to the left of said curvature-- when there shouldn't be anything there. This is the left most part of the gun. They tried to make it look as if Kellerman’s black hair turns white on top, but the white piece to the left of the curvature is the giveaway. Indeed you can also see Greer's hunched up left shoulder and forearm leading up to the gun (in his left hand). Again they tried to make Greer’s upper arm and forearm blend in with background objects (gutter and limo edge), so (when viewing frame 313) block all this out with your hand to the left of Greer and Kellerman while viewing with a magnifying glass, and you should realize that you are seeing Greer’s upper arm and forearm leading up to the gun by his right ear. You can even see the motion of the gun coming up, here.


As with 9/11, only a small number of people came out with the ultimate truth, while the bogus industry of fake JFK “research” came into being and remains big. (Heavily funded still by you know who.) But former Navy officer, William (Bill) Cooper and his book, “Behold a Pale Horse” were the mainstays of revealing this ultimate truth. Cooper spoke around the country for 15 years or so, and on shortwave radio, before being assassinated just two months after 9/11, by “local” police in an obvious entrapment masterminded by the feds. In the late 70’s, the House Committee on Assassinations first had its Chairman and Chief Counsel forced off the Committee. The controlled replacements did their best to hide the truth. But they got hold of the tape of a Dallas motorcade cop’s microphone, which was on the whole time during the assassination. The House Committee got audio scientists to add this audio to the Zapruder film. They then were forced to admit there was more than one shooter, but blamed “the Mafia.” And let it end at that. However the people who were in charge that day, still are. E.g., see GHW Bush at the book Depository, and his role in the affair here.

In 1992, this now audio/video version of the Zapruder film was shown by the lying counsel for that Committee, on a national television magazine show. I taped this and analyzed it, and it clearly showed (audio and video) that not only did Greer kill Kennedy, but he had turned first and accidentally shot Connally. You can hear, as well as see, that at the apex of his two turns, first Connally, then Kennedy is shot. After his first erroneous hit, Greer brought the limo to a standstill, as he obviously found his aim was not too good, while moving. This was not planned, but the last minute substitute, agent Clint Hill, disobeyed the order to remain in the follow-up car, and was running up to try to save Kennedy, and Kellerman can be seen talking to Greer, likely giving him the order to kill Kennedy.

When I presented this audio/video Z film publicly but once, I paid for it with the loss of my health and nearly my life. Among the many horrors I have suffered was that they broke into my home and placed a mercury compound all over my house. I was poisoned via inhalation of a mercury compound for nearly two years. Only with the greatest of luck did I find this out before dying. So I know all too well how easy it is for them to kill any of us individually, and get away with it. While an individual can only lose, and lose everything, it is clear how they fear the masses rising up against them. This is why they did what they did. This is why people must not know that the govt’s own driver killed President Kennedy. This is why the people must not know that 3000 people were nuked by their own regime on 9/11; and the people must not know that thousands of responders may get cancer from the nuclear radiation (China Syndrome) they were exposed to in the aftermath of 9/11. The regime fears that the people will awaken and realize that they are all going to be the victims of these monsters, as was President Kennedy, and the thousands of WTC workers, and the millions around the world, and myself.

For my part, I gave out many copies of this audio/video Zapruder film, in case… But I accept, and expect, my fate, but I have obtained my freedom, in part, by releasing herein the ultimate truths of the WTC mass murder, the Kennedy assassination, and the who and why of it all. Each of you should realize that the reason they did what they did to JFK, to me, and to all the others, is because they know they will lose if the people find out these things and act. They rightly fear the people realizing that they have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. If we all accepted the New Hampshire state motto, Live Free or Die, we would all likely Live Free. Then this world would be the kind of place that the best and the brightest of us, like John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the last President of the United States, had to knowingly die striving to create.

Finally Fighting Back Against GOP Election Theft

It seems quite plausible that Anonymous stopped Karl Rove from stealing the election:

When I first heard about Rove being against calling Ohio live on FoxNews, I automatically suspected that he was up to no good, and undoubtedly had some plan to steal Ohio that hadn't kicked in yet.  The fact that the Sec. of State computers crashed in Ohio again in 2012 on election night, really support the idea of skullduggery, and that somehow the plan didn't work right-- presumably because Anonymous stopped the vote manipulation.

Some interesting history about the GOP stealing the presidential election, including the quite obscure case of Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks which is bolstered by a recently released tape of LBJ discussing the incident with a Republican leader and keeping it secret from the public.


In any case, this sort of history again goes to show why the GOP is the biggest threat we face, and any priority of an election is keeping those psychopaths out of national power-- only then, can we work on reforming the Democrats and getting better politics.

Further, the fact that LBJ covered up Nixon's treason, goes to show how all politicians cover up conspiracies-- in order to avoid "shocking the people" and to keep them from realizing that national politicians can commit such evil.  But the problem of course, is that maintaining such cover-ups, maintains the evil status quo.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We can be thankful that we haven't completely destroyed the planet yet...

Endless Spying, Intel Everywhere

There are clearly some important issues about cyber-security and govt spying that can be learned from the Broadwell case. First, obviously, is that the govt can easily and cheaply track everything you do online. Second, Broadwell and Petraeus should have known better.  It really is pretty outrageous how easily we can be spied on-- even the Director of the CIA.

Also interesting is that Broadwell may have been an undercover FBI agent.

According to a retired FBI agent, the woman now at the center of the David Petraeus scandal applied to the FBI six years ago, passed a polygraph test, and was offered an appointment. Broadwell was a recruiter’s dream: a West Point graduate who had been named the fittest in her class with a master’s degree in international security from the University of Denver. She even had active-duty military experience.

“I’m sure that applicant coordinator in Denver was salivating over her,” the retired agent says.

The bureau further noted the great potential Broadwell had demonstrated during her stint in 2003 and 2004 as an Army intelligence officer attached to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Denver. The retired agent notes, “She did very well.”

Also: "In the Army Reserve, she specialized in military intelligence, spending time at the U.S. Special Operations Command and the FBI Counterterrorism Task Forces...".  And, Broadwell was a former Army intelligence officer.

Also-- ha ha on the 33: "Broadwell first met Petraeus in 2006 when she was a 33-year-old student at Harvard’s Kennedy School."

Lastly, Jill Kelley, who apparently alerted the FBI to the affair, seems to have intelligence ties.

Fetzer

I want to note a couple things I think are striking about Jim Fetzer:

1) He totally has moved towards the 9/11 scenario I have held for quite a while-- and blogged upon here (quite uniquely I might add) for some years-- the hijackings were a hoax, no planes hit the WTC and Pentagon and crashed in Shanksville, and the WTC towers were nuked.

 2) Like me, he is politically liberal and even supported Obama's re-election (though saying he preferred Ron Paul).  Note, Ron Paul is NOT a liberal and has some pretty obnoxious views of the same sort that cost the GOP the last election-- but at least Paul is against the American empire and the National Security State, which are hugely important issues.  If the election was between Ron Paul and Obama, that would have been awesome, but obviously that was not the choice we had.

Overall, he's kind of a blowhard, but in an endearing way, I think.  He is generally logical and he is very articulate.  His major downside is how he is overly gullible and/or non-challenging to his interviewees.  Oddly, he never seems to consider the idea of paid or intel 9/11/conspiracy shills.  Further, he never seems to synthesize a deeper overall conspiracy. Mostly he seems to blame conspiracies on Israel/Zionism and bankers. He hasn't synthesized anything about UFO/alien issues, and in this regard, may be a bit of a gatekeeper.

Still, I have to find points 1 and 2 gratifying, to a certain degree.

The Global Terror-Drug Forever War

Uggghhh:

For the first time ever, Treasury has designated a key Taliban member–Mullah Naim Barich– not a terrorist, but a drug kingpin.

The Treasury Department has previously sanctioned Taliban leaders and affiliates for their support of terrorism, as well as money-exchange housessupporting the Taliban, but Thursday’s designation marks the first time the department has designated a senior Taliban official for narcotics trafficking.

Treasury said Thursday that Mullah Naim Barich, the “shadow governor” of Afghanistan’s largest opium-producing province, is a narcotics kingpin.

“Today’s action exposes the direct involvement of senior Taliban leadership in the production, manufacturing, and trafficking of narcotics in Afghanistan and underlines the Taliban’s reliance on the drug trade to finance their acts of terror and violence,” David S. Cohen, under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in a news release. “Treasury will continue exposing links between the international narcotics trade and terrorist networks, in Afghanistan, and wherever else they exist.”

Now, the Taliban and other Afghans have been neck deep in the opium trade forever. Indeed, Wikileaks just released a 2007 Stratfor document claiming that DEA had been ordered to back off Hamid Karzai’s now-deceased brother Ahmed Wali Karzai’s drug involvement.

Yet, as WSJ notes, Treasury has always gone after the Taliban via terrorism designations, not drug ones.

Terrorism designations will be more difficult to sustain if we “pull out” in 2014 declaring victory in Afganistan.

Worry not! We’ve got the Global War on Drugs in Afghanistan now.

Lame Gazan Rockets Leading to a Bigger War, More Slaughter

This is bad:

"As Hamas rockets fly, Israel moves toward ground invasion of Gaza Strip"

JERUSALEM — Israel prepared Friday for for a possible ground invasion of the Gaza Strip as Hamas militants continued to lob rockets into Israel, and one of them landed near Jerusalem for the first time since 1970.

The rocket strikes outside Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel’s main population centers, sharply raised the stakes in the ongoing standoff between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, providing sobering evidence that Palestinian militants possess weaponry that can strike deeper inside Israel than ever before. In particular, the strike on Jerusalem — a city both Israelis and Palestinians claim as their capital — was viewed as a major provocation that made an Israeli ground invasion seem ever more likely.

Rockets from Gaza hit Southern Israel on Friday, one day after rocket fire from Palestinian militants killed three Israelis. Israel offered a brief truce while Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil visited Gaza Friday, but it crumbled quickly as Gaza continued to launch rockets across the border and Israel retaliated with airstrikes.

While Israeli officials maintained that they did not seek war, the intent to send a loud warning to Hamas was evident. By nightfall, the Israeli military said it had closed three roads leading to Gaza, in a further sign of a possible ground invasion, and a spokesman said paratroopers and infantry soldiers were in southern Israel awaiting orders from political leaders.

Note-- three Israelis, three roads... 3 3

This WashPost video of the rocket damage shows how incredibly lame the rockets are.

Screencaps (click to embiggen):

The rocket went in through a window?

Messy, but hardly devastating.

Oh no-- it cracked the windshield and knocked off the sun shield!

What the heck is this supposed to be?  The rocket dug a small hole and threw bricks inside?

To the extent they are even real, these rockets basically seem to be nothing more than hurled pieces of pipe.  Hardly something to start a war over.

Meanwhile, from some obnoxious right-wing Facebook site (check out the comments to fully appreciate):

At the same time, the Palestinians are getting slaughtered by high-tech US weaponry.

Yes:

Why does the New York Times start to sound like a teenage girl’s Facebook page whenever Israel gets into its next war? “You guys, Israel has it tough. That battlefield is changing, and the world is growing more dangerous. Leave Israel alone!”

... I do know that that the minute Israel is involved in any military action, every US media outlet drops the guise of skeptical reporting and goes more all-in than some Israeli newspapers. That leaves me reading the Guardian, Al-Jazeera English and Haaretz to try to at least hear what Hamas has to say, and to see a few images of the hell that’s being rained down on the other side of the fence.

Jews Control the Weather?

According to Dr. A. True Ott, in this interview with Jim Fetzer.  Specifically, the Rothschilds and Israel own it, according to Ott.  The key points of the interview are in this blog post.  He has some good points, but extrapolates a bit too much, and with a bit too much emphasis on Jews/Zionism.  He takes it too far in the last part of the show.  But if true that Israel has not signed the international treaty on weather modification, that is quite significant.

I'm still unsure of how well humans can control the weather (and earthquakes, etc).  I'm sure we can do some things such as starting rain and creating small cyclones.  I just think the energy required to move a large hurricane is beyond our capabilities.

Israel Is Unreal

Apart from the never ending assault on Gaza and the stupid rocket attacks from Hamas, this is crazy:

Israel should topple the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, if he presses ahead with a request for recognition of the state of Palestine by the United Nations general assembly in two weeks' time, the hardline foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has urged.

In a draft paper distributed to the media, Lieberman argued that overthrowing the Palestinian leadership was Israel's only viable option, faced with the certainty of an overwhelming vote in support of the Palestinian bid.

"A reality in which the United Nations recognises a Palestinian state according to a unilateral process will destroy all Israeli deterrence and completely harm its credibility," the paper said.

I guess it is no surprise at this point, but the "chutzpah" -- the arrogance-- here is just astounding.

Then there is this:

Hours before Hamas strongman Ahmed Jabari was assassinated, he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel, which included mechanisms for maintaining the cease-fire in the case of a flare-up between Israel and the factions in the Gaza Strip. 

Some interesting thoughts about the Gaza attacks here.

The Afghan Massacre

Whether or not Sgt Bales killed 16 innocent civilians by himself, or he did it with others or was set up, we have no good way of knowing at this point. The PTB are now pushing the witnesses to say Bales acted alone. 

But the bigger issue from this horrible incident is the pure evil of war. Every war, no matter how well and/or morally justified leads to pure evil. Every war destroys men and makes them do purely evil things.

Absolutely Insane Numbers of Chemtrails This Morning

Literally they were in every direction, and what a coincidence that they appear right after I posted last night how I was seeing so many flying objects last night. I've never seen so many freaking trails!!! (click to embiggen)

UPDATE: We had the same exact chilly weather last night as the night before, but no sign of jet-trails AT ALL this morning. So I think this indicates these are not simply trails of normal plane exhaust, or contrails.

Too Many Flying Objects

I'm not sure what is going on, but over the past few months, when I look up at the night sky, I see unusual large numbers of lighted flying objects, often with flashing strobe-type lights.  Just now, I saw four to five such things high in the sky.  Most weird were two very fast moving flights with flashing lights, flying high up, that passed each other quite close.  But there are also very bright lights that start out near the horizon that I can't even tell are moving at first, but then move so are not stars or planets.

So I live in the US midwest, near a medium sized city, probably 6-8 miles from the local airport.  There are no military bases nearby.  The thing is that most of these flights are not near the airport, but are flying high and far from the airport.

So I am just not sure what is going on, but this doesn't seem like normal air traffic!  I really wonder if something strange is going on, and how many of these flights are either "UFOs" or an abnormal number of military planes...

Obama Election Theater

Really, was that election just a bad dream?  Was Mitt Romney really that evil and that clueless?  Or was it all an act to get Obama re-elected, because that's what the PTB wanted?

Either way, it's damned hard to grasp.

But Bill O'Reilly's line about Obama getting re-elected because people "want stuff" (ostensibly free stuff that they didn't work for) is so incredibly dumb.

1) EVERYONE wants stuff, so who is he kidding?  It's obvious race baiting, that minorities are lazy and only elected Obama because he will give them luxury lives on welfare.

2) Is anyone better at getting free stuff than the bankers and corporate elites?  I mean, seriously.

Maybe we ought to do something about this. I should note that Obama at least was not quite suck and Israel boot-licker as Mitt Romney, and was willing to show a little distance from Israel, recently.

Right-Wing Reactions to Obama's Re-Election

The paranoia is kind of funny... the racism, not so much.

Anyone who seriously thinks Obama is going to: take away guns, set up a police state (more than what we have), enact martial law, force UN agenda 21 on us, start race riots, put massive numbers of people in concentration camps, enact Sharia law, enslave us to globalists (more than we already are), etc, is a SAD FUCKING PARANOID IDIOT.

I checked out Alex Jones' site, and he's totally pushing the idea that Obama will take away guns and pushing some bogus poll about Americans willing to wear shock bracelets or get body cavity searches to fly.  It's just kind of sad.

Prediction

Man-made global warming is going to be THE big issue within the next few years.

Petraeus Resigns As CIA Director Because of "Affair"

Let the conspiracy theorizing begin! Legit reason?

By acknowledging an extramarital affair, Mr. Petraeus, 60, was confronting a sensitive issue for a spy chief. Intelligence agencies are often concerned about the possibility that agents who engage in such behavior could be blackmailed for information.

Here is an article on the woman he supposedly had the affair with: Paula Broadwell, the woman who wrote his biography.

It's all plausible enough... but just a plain old heterosexual affair?  So BORING and non-scandalous, IMO.

Ahhh, Glenn Beck

You gotta wonder if he's this deluded or just think it's all a cynical ploy to scare people into giving him money. Presumably the latter, but...

Some Good, Progressive Election Results

Recreational marijuana use was legalized in Colorado and in Washington too!


Gay marriage was legalized by vote in Maryland and in Maine.

Also:

Elizabeth Warren won a Senate seat in MA.

Idiot tea-partiers Alan West and Joe Walsh were defeated.

Reactionary anti-women fanatics Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin were defeated.


One significant disappointment was that Prop 37-- the GMO labeling bill in CA was likely defeated. 

Four More Years

You saw it happen, folks. You sat on your big butt and you watched Barack Obama, who was not born in America, steal the election — again — so that he can ruin the country and impose sharia law.

He had four years to impose his evil Muslim ways, and he didn’t, but that’s not evidence of ANYTHING, and we are still in grave danger.

Thank goodness a brave, brave patriot like Donald Trump is around to point us in the right direction, by bravely tweeting that we should have a “revolution!” and then bravely deleting those tweets.

On the serious side, this kind of sums up why I am reasonably happy about Obama winning--

I have written elsewhere how the reactionary right and its rich contributors had mentally seceded from the Third French Republic and doomed it to defeat, occupation, and a sordid regime at Vichy. The parallels with some of our own seceding plutocracy are uncomfortable. But it was the case that many French citizens of the left and center also became disaffected from the republic. If the regime is corrupt and the process is rigged, why bother participating?

Many American progressives are similarly infected with a kind of facile despair to the point where they confuse half a loaf with no bread. But citizenship demands that you get your hands dirty and consent to compromises that are sometimes repellent.

In 28 years on Capitol Hill, I did not see a foreign policy carried out by presidents of either party that did not have elements that were morally repugnant, fraudulent, hypocritical, or all three. Citizens must get their hands dirty nevertheless.

The alternative is to cease to be a citizen and let others do the work. I am certain they would be happy to oblige.

Also-- Romney (like most of the GOP) was a creepy, dishonest, scary asshole, who did not deserve to lead this country. I am happy to see the last of him!

Remember the Bush Years?

What an amazing stretch of terrifying crap that was thrown at us over those 8 years-- one shit sandwich after another:

1) the Florida recount and intervention by the SCOTUS

2) 9/11 and the Anthrax attacks

3) stock market collapse in 2000 and recession

4) Bush tax cuts, primarily benefiting the rich

5) the Afghanistan war, letting bin Laden escape at Tora Bora

6) WMD lies, Saddam Hussein as the new bogey man

7) the catastrophic Iraq war 

8) drone attacks on suspected terrorists

9) Guantanamo Bay prison camp, loss of habeus corpus, wrongful imprisonment, military tribunals

10) outright use of torture on terror suspects

11) the Shoe Bomber, Jose Padilla

12) formation of the Department of Homeland Security

13) police-state-like spying on US citizens

14) color-coded terror scares

15) electoral theft in Ohio in 2004

16) Katrina disaster, the flooding of New Orleans

17) bursting of the housing bubble

18) massive stock market and Wall Street collapse of 2009 and the Great Recession

19) massive Budget deficits, accumulation of National Debt to over $10 trillion

20) Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo


In contrast, the Obama years:

1) the Great Recession hits hard-- the Stimulus Bill and slow recovery

2) withdrawal from Iraq

3) official ban on torture

4) passage of Affordable Care Act

5) continued budget deficits, increased National Debt

6) massive Republican intransigence

7) continuation/escalation of Bush police state, spying, drone policies

8) the official killing of bin Laden

9) weird birth certificate

10) crotch bomber

11) BP oil spill

12) Hurricane Sandy


FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.

What Is Really Going On? What News Can We Trust?

We all know that the mainstream media (MSM, aka mainstain media, lamestream media, the Matrix) is deeply in bed with the CIA and is controlled by the PTB-- and they are totally fucking with us, to get us to go along with their agenda. (What their agenda is, is a whole other huge issue)

The problem is that you have to get news from somewhere, you can't just say it is all bullshit.  It's tempting to say the "news" is all fake, but that leads you into dangerous territory. You could say that you will only get news from independents/bloggers, but they all have their own biases and have their own agenda, and who knows how many independents/bloggers are really some clever disinfo/misinfo op by the same evil PTB that control the rest of the news. 

The REAL challenge, of course, is to figure out what parts of the news to trust.  One solution, that I like, is to try to get news from as many different sources as possible.  THANKFULLY we have the internet, which gives us endless options.  The problem then becomes one of too many sources!  A "virtual" (pun intended) Tower of Babel.  So, what to trust.

Here are my rules of thumb:

1) distrust 99% of stories from right-wing sources-- most of them are stupid, have no perspective and are incredibly biased.   For instance, most of FoxNews, radio figures like Rush Limbaugh are essentially worthless, and right-wing bloggers are just as bad, and even more numerous.  They often dominate google searches, unfortunately.

2) distrust anything that is obviously promoting war or demonizing other countries/other religions/other races

3) distrust anything that promotes corporate interests (another reason to distrust right-wing news)

4) distrust anything relating to terrorism in the MSM

5) distrust anything relating to the CIA in the MSM

6) distrust any pro-conspiracy sites that do not give proper explanations or documentation/links.

7) distrust anyone that is not appropriately skeptical of the official story on: 9/11, OKC bombing, JFK assassination, UFOs, Apollo moon landings, etc

8) distrust sites that promote incredible/far-out technologies, e.g. magical directed energy weapons

9) distrust any site with a strong religious slant

10) be open-minded and not automatically say things are false unless you have strong evidence otherwise; almost point of view can be argued by an expert but don't get bamboozled by technical talk

11) distrust sites that are strongly pushing a product-- a book, a DVD, some device, some nutritional product, some survival guide, some secret info, etc

12) be VERY SKEPTICAL of claims without sources, and articles that are copied and pasted from other sites that then have copied them from some other site, all without proper attribution.

13) beware bloggers that post extremely long pieces that do not have coherent flows of narrative or that do not have easily digestible summaries

14) beware bloggers that post as if it is their full-time job and do not have any other obvious source of income

15) distrusting doesn't mean to automatically rule something out--  just don't automatically trust these types of sources --> check for confirmation elsewhere.Finally, ask questions, get many different points of views






Personally, I just love novel ideas and mysteries-- it's why I get a kick from thinking about conspiracies and cover-ups.  I get strongly turned off by ideas that promote hate, war, or religion.  A lot of times, I may be way more in tune with the mainstream than you might expect.  And certainly, in my day to day life, there are no conspiracies that I am directly privy to, so I tend towards more mainstream politics at times.  I also think that thinking about conspiracies too much, when there is so much resistance by most people to accepting them, is draining and can drive you nuts.  So you have to "go mainstream" a lot, and accept that there are just things you can't do much about.

Elie Wiesel to Write Book with Obama

Ugghh--what is the title of the book?  "Collaboration of Frauds"?

Al-CIA-duh Watch: Benghazi

So the Benghazi consulate was a CIA operation, and there was an even larger CIA operation nearby--

Overall, the CIA’s depiction of the events that led to the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens offers new insight into US operations in the eastern Libyan city. It suggests that the small and lightly secured diplomatic mission served as a kind of cover for a larger but covert US intelligence presence, centered in an “annex” located about a mile from the consulate. This intelligence-gathering was focused on an area where Islamist extremists and Al Qaeda-affiliated militants were known to operate.

Well, this brings the attack on the compound that killed 4 new Americans, including the Libyan ambassador, into a whole new light, and explains some of the reasons for the shifting storyline.

I can think of several possible explanations for the attack now:

1) classic revenge-type anger blowback by the militants on to the CIA, if the CIA was trying to control the militants

2) an attack by the militants on the CIA faction as part of a cover-up by the CIA. Possibly the Ambassador was being tipped off on al-CIA-duh activities by the CIA contractors who were killed.

3) a deliberately instigated attack by militants at the behest of the CIA, to create some sort of October-surprise incident to influence the presidential election

4) some combination of 1 and 3 or 2 and 3

UPDATE-- this piece from an ex-CIA guy says it was blowback, FWIW.  But some interesting info in there and worth a read.

Al-CIA-duh Watch: Abu Zabaydah

This is just so fucking outrageous, and just goes to show how flimsy the official 9/11 story is--

Now that the US government has admitted that it has no case against Abu Zubaydah and that he was never associated with al Qaeda, will they release him?  As attorney Mickum requested, will his client be allowed to tell his own story?  More importantly, will the official accounts of 9/11 be reviewed to extricate claims allegedly made by and about Zubayda so that those false claims do not to provide additional false direction in War on Terror?

No, almost certainly not.

As with the court order to classify “any statements made by the accused” in the trials of KSM and other suspects,[51] if this man is allowed to speak we may find that his mind has not been completely obliterated through the torture we inflicted upon him.  And we may find that the official myth of 9/11 and al Qaeda will not hold up against the open and un-tortured testimony of the people alleged to have committed the crimes of 9/11.  In the end, it seems that the Zubaydah case is a threat to al Qaeda itself as well as a public admission that some lies must be kept under wraps in order to maintain the overall deception that supports the War on Terror.

Considering how extensively Abu Zabaydah was tortured, and how innocent he was, it is just sickening how much of a lie the govts case was. 

This almost completely obscure episode-- which I only learned recently-- totally blows away the official story of al Qaeda, and reveals the massive evil charade run by the CIA.

Wouldn't It Be Awesome If FEMA Was Privatized?

Then corporations could profit off disasters!  Would could possibly go wrong?

Last Night I Tuned Into FoxNews Business For a Bit

I saw Lou Dobbs and fucking Donald Rumsfeld discussing the Benghazi incident... does FoxNews spend 90% of their coverage on this trumped-up scandal to try to make Obama look bad???   One can only imagine if similar scrutiny was given to 9/11 and the Bush administration's role....

In any case, it was completely nauseating to hear fucking Donald Rumsfeld complain about Obama ignoring warnings and failing to protect Americans. 

I suspect when Obama is re-elected and if the GOP still has control of the House, impeachment over Benghazi will be the first thing they will do. 

Sigh.
