THE BANKING 'CRISIS' ...... IT'S A BIG CLUB AND YOU AIN'T IN IT ...

friction001 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:41:57 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, March 23rd 2008 Hello all ... After nearly 20 years of full time research into the true workings of the world, the last few weeks have been real head-shakers for me. Talk about watching a movie. And it's not even a new movie - just a remake of endless of its kind over hundreds of years. They were once in silent black and white and now in full-blown computer-enhanced digital colour. The movie is called 'The Banking Crisis' and among its many sequels and spin-offs are 'The Recession', 'The Slump', 'The Crash', and, in it's latest version, 'The Credit Crunch'. All of them star the insider actors and actresses from the same elite families and all have but one prime objective: human control. Everything else is decoration, diversion and camouflage. I'll summarise first what I have been saying since the early 1990s about the 'economic cycle' of 'boom and bust' and then have a look at what is happening today from that perspective. It is, lest we forget, the private banks that bring 'money' into circulation by issuing lines of 'credit', which is 'money' that has never, does not, and will never exist. Money is merely mythical figures on a screen that is only worth anything because we take it seriously and believe it to be worth anything. It only has purchasing power because the receiver believes it has purchasing power. It's all a mind game. When you take out a loan from a bank (put more 'money' into circulation through accepting credit) the bank doesn't print any notes, mint any coins or move precious metals anywhere. It simply types into your computer account the sum of mythical figures-on-a-screen 'credit' that you have agreed to be 'loaned'. In fact, the bank has loaned you nothing except figures on a computer file and yet from that moment you start paying interest on money that has never, does not, and will never exist. Banking is nothing more than legalised fraud and the biggest organised crime in history. The Mafia are petty criminals by comparison. You can symbolise the modus operandi as a fisherman (the elite Illuminati banking families) with his rod (control of the banking system, stockmarkets, governments, mainstream media and, most crucially, the 'creation' and distribution of 'money' or 'credit'). In stage one, the banking elite cast the fishing line by keeping interest rates low and making it easy for almost anyone to get 'credit'. This has the effect of putting lots of 'money' into circulation and increases the ability of business and people to buy things. This obviously increases 'consumer demand' and business takes out more loans for plant, machinery and expansion, and employs more staff, to meet that demand. We now have what they call 'economic prosperity' or a 'boom', although there is always an underclass that never benefits. During such 'boom times', people, like business, feel more confident and vast numbers buy a bigger house, bigger car and have more expensive holidays - paid for invariably by loans or line of credit. In short, during a 'boom' business and people get themselves into more debt and even those who don't secure bank loans bash their credit card to increase their purchasing power in the face of mass advertising (mind control) to buy, buy, buy. But this 'prosperity' is only made possible by the increases in credit ('money' in circulation) that allows the increase in spending. And who controls that? The banks controlled by the Illuminati banking families like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and the rest. When the world is saturated in credit (debt on 'money' that doesn't exist) the banking cartel triggers stage two of what ignorant economists and economic correspondents call the 'economic cycle'. Continuing with the fisherman analogy, they reel in the line and net their fish - us. They do this by reducing the amount of credit they issue and calling in many loans already on their books. This has the effect of taking 'money' - purchasing power - out of circulation and transforms the manufactured 'boom' into a manufactured 'bust'. With less money in circulation, people can buy less and so businesses need to produce less. This leads to big increases in unemployment, bankruptcy and people losing their homes because those businesses and people are no longer able to earn the income necessary to service the loans they took out during the 'good times'. But, of course, when they accepted those loans of non-existent 'money' they had to sign over as security their wealth that did exist - their home, car, business or land - and so when they fail to 'repay' their 'loans' of credit the banks seize their wealth that does exist in exchange for not paying back 'money' that has never existed, except in theory. Yes, I know it's insane to you and me, but from the perspective of an economic system created for the simple purpose of human control and enslavement it is perfectly sane. To the elite families behind it all, it is sheer genius and a crucial means to their end. 'Gotcha.' Using the techniques I have described, these interbreeding families have trawled and netted the 'physical' wealth of the world while giving the masses worthless bits of paper and figures on a screen to make them think they are sharing in the whole deal. But they are not and, whenever the genetic cartel decrees, the people realise how tenuous their perceived 'prosperity' really was. But, come the next 'boom', they fall for it all over again. Ahhhhhhh! All this manipulation is made possible by allowing private banks, ultimately controlled by the same family bloodlines, to control how much credit or 'money' is in circulation, and by the mass brainwashing of the population to 'spend, spend, spend' to seek a lifestyle that the system, again controlled by the same cartel, has told them is the measurement of their 'success' and 'happiness'. As Robert H. Hemphill, a one-time credit manager at the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta once said: 'This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous, if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilisation may collapse, unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.' Since the last 'economic downturn' (trawl of the real wealth) there has been a global orgy in 'consumer debt' (we are no longer people, we are 'consumers', just a cog in the economic machinery). By last year, Americans owed a staggering $16 trillion dollars - that's $2.4 trillion in personal loans and $13.6 trillion borrowed for their homes. Total US debt in 2007 (and it's bigger now): $53 trillion. In the UK, a nation of some 60 million compared with America's 300 million, the debt levels have similarly soared to record highs. Personal debt in Britain passed £1 trillion ($2 trillion) in 2004, just seven years after it passed through the half a trillion barrier. It has since expanded by another nearly £400 billion and Britain's personal debt is increasing by more than £1 million every four minutes. The banking cartel has taken the debt to record levels because it is preparing for a record trawl. It is the vehicle for the Illuminati families to create the chaos from which they can offer their solution - a new global economic system which gives them more control than ever before. They want this eventually to be administered by a world central bank via a single world currency that would be purely electronic with no cash in circulation at all. This would give total control (apart from barter) over if or what you purchase to a global computer system that would be programmed to decide if it would accept your electronic card or, in time, the microchip under your skin. Dissidents of the system would soon be off the computer's Christmas card list, that's for sure. This is what the current financial mayhem is all about - another massive stepping stone to the control of every man, woman and child on the planet. Once you know that, the apparently crazy and scandalous decisions made by the banking system to trigger the current crisis take on a new perspective. These include the high-risk sub-prime mortgage frenzy which made vast numbers of loans to people who were highly likely to default - and have. It was a disaster waiting to happen - but only for those who lost their homes, not for the families controlling the banking system. But wait, I can hear people say, banks are going broke and even major players like Bear Stearns have been on the brink. Surely the Illuminati families wouldn't want that? Oh, but they would because of the contribution it makes to their overall agenda. It is important to stress the difference between running a bank within the game and owning the game itself. Take the symbolic example of the board game called Monopoly. Different people come and go, playing the game and 'winning' and 'losing'. But the game itself can never 'lose' because it is the board on which everyone has to play, winners and losers, and it is all the houses, hotels, instruction cards and rules that they have to play with and abide by. Players of the game may use its board, money and real estate for a while, but the game always gets them back, or the owner of the game does. Yes, the US bank Bear Stearns saw its share price plummet from more than $150 a share down to almost zero. But who has sought to take advantage of that? The notorious Illuminati operation, J P Morgan Chase, which has offered Bear $2 a share in its takeover bid - and the Illuminati-created and controlled Federal Reserve, the privately-owned 'central bank' of America, has made the Morgan takeover virtually risk-free by guaranteeing up to $30 billion of Bear's mortgages and other assets. It's a stitch-up. Some banks will go to the wall and either disappear or be absorbed for cents on the dollar by other Illuminati operations and it suits the agenda to install fewer, but bigger, banks because that reduces the number of people with any influence on competition and financial events in general. It is sobering to read this Internet account of the engineered Wall Street Crash of 1929 which led to the Great depression of the 1930s, a time that some commentators are claiming we may be about to experience again: 'Throughout the 1920s a long boom took stock prices to peaks never before seen. From 1920 to 1929 stocks more than quadrupled in value. Many investors became convinced that stocks were a sure thing and borrowed heavily to invest more money in the market. But in 1929, the bubble burst and stocks started down an ever more precipitous cliff. In 1932 and 1933, they hit bottom, down about 80% from their highs in the late 1920s. This had sharp effects on the economy. Demand for goods declined because people felt poor because of their losses in the stock market. New investment could not be financed through the sale of stock, because no one would buy the new stock. But perhaps the most important effect was chaos in the banking system as banks tried to collect on loans made to stockmarket investors whose holdings were now worth little or nothing at all. Worse, many banks had themselves invested depositors' money in the stockmarket. When word spread that banks' assets contained huge uncollectable loans and almost worthless stock certificates, depositors rushed to withdraw their savings. Unable to raise fresh funds from the Federal Reserve System, banks began failing by the hundreds in 1932 and 1933.' Those hundreds of failing banks were either absorbed for next to nothing by the big banks, which became even richer and more powerful as a result, or they were left to disappear and reduce the potential competition. Individual banks may come and go, but the banking system, the game, is always there. For '... chaos in the banking system as banks tried to collect on loans made to stockmarket investors whose holdings were now worth little or nothing at all', read sub-prime mortgages and such like that we have now. Imagine the effect of a stockmarket crash today on top of everything else and it's coming, make no mistake. It's all in the script. It was no coincidence at all that the crash of the 1930s was unleashed by the Illuminati Federal Reserve making several increases in interest rates to 'cool the stockmarket', nor that the economic collapse brought the Illuminati front man Franklin Roosevelt to the White House with his 'New Deal' to 'solve the crisis'. Instead, he took the United States into World War Two. What we are seeing is just 'history' (the techniques of mass manipulation) repeating. After the 'boom' created by low interest rates and unlimited credit since the 1990s, they are crashing the global economy through what is being called the 'Credit Crunch'. Put another way, they put lots of money into circulation (boom) and now they are taking it out again (bust). This means that there comes a moment when there is simply not enough money in circulation for everyone to pay back their outstanding 'loans'. Suffering and homelessness are built into the system. Other aspects of this same agenda include: * The crashing of the US dollar to prepare for its replacement by a 'North American Union' currency (working title at least, the Amero) which would become the currency of the United States, Canada and Mexico with plans to extend it to the whole of the Americas. * Creating such a scale of economic suffering and dependency that people will do anything, at however low the wage, just to survive and with 'outsourcing' and the massive influx of people from poorer countries into places like North America, the UK and the rest of Western Europe, the competition for this low-paid work is being intensified still more (see the video sequence after this article). Watching the news as the crisis unfolds is like witnessing a car crash in slow motion, or a replay of one you have seen, or read about, many times before; and debt has reached such astronomical proportions that we're right out of seat belts. Like I say, in the end it's all a mind game based on the manipulation of that mental and emotional state we call 'confidence'. When you control the mainstream media and the leading politicians then controlling the level of 'confidence' is a synch. When people have confidence in banks, stockmarkets and the strength of the economy in general, they borrow more money, get into more debt, spend more and invest more in things like stocks and shares. The result: there is an economic and stockmarket boom. When people lose confidence in banks, stockmarkets and the strength of the economy in general, they borrow less money, spend less and invest less in things like stocks and shares. The result: there is an economic and stockmarket 'crisis'. So tell them everything is wonderful and give them lots of credit and then tell them everything is in chaos and stop their lines of credit. It is so easy when you own the game. As the brilliant American comedian, George Carlin, put it: 'It's big club and you ain't in it' - see video clip at the end of this article. Many years ago I spoke about all this at a financial conference and afterwards a man who speculated for a living on the commodity markets (deciding if people in 'Third World' countries ate or not) came over to speak to me. He said he didn't believe what I said about manipulation of the system, but he would keep his eyes open from now on. A few months later I met him again and he was transformed. He said he had noticed that three or four days before a state-of-the-economy statement by the then Federal Reserve chief, Alan Greenspan, the big players in the markets would go to work moving their investments around. Every time, he said, the result of Greenspan's words was to increase the value of what the big players had been buying and push down what they had been selling. The reason does not need a genius to explain: The big players were colluding in Greenspan's statements. Welcome to the 'real' world ... The way to withdraw as much as possible from the clutches of this economic imprisonment is to get out of debt as much as possible. This is difficult for most people who are buying their homes because the cost is so high compared with their income and savings - and the explosion in house prices was fuelled by the very credit free-for-all that has made initial buying, if not the repayments, so easy. But in everything else most people do have a choice not to borrow money for things they don't actually need - and that's where so much credit 'money' is spent. If people can't afford something that is not essential then don't buy it if you can't pay cash because otherwise you are mortgaging your life to the banking cartel. I rented my flat with its one bedroom and little office and I only bought it in the end with a mortgage because it was perfect for my needs and the owner wanted to sell it to someone else if not to me. I can't afford anything bigger and that's fine because I don't want anything bigger. I have no desire whatsoever for the big-house, big-car lifestyle. I have to laugh when I see people on the Internet claiming that I must be filthy rich because of the big house I own when the 'big house' is a block of small flats, of which I 'own', or the bank does, only one. But on everything else in my life I have a simple and strict philosophy. If I can't pay cash I don't want it, thanks. Don't let anyone try to sell me trinkets as a symbol of my success, and offer me cheap credit to buy them, because they can stick it all where the sun will never trouble the darkness. If we don't fall for the trinkets version of 'success' and the lack-of-them version of 'failure', then we reduce massively the dependence on credit to finance our pursuit of what the very system lending us that non-existent money is telling us we must have to be 'successful'. If you buy the system's version of reality it will eventually devour you, if not always economically then at least in the devouring of your soul. So we don't have the latest car, fashion or bit of bloody 'bling'. Who gives a shit? What nonsense it all is. How far we have become disconnected from true wealth and the understanding that life is about more than irrelevant baubles, bangles and beads. As a Native American chief called Seattle is supposed to have said: 'How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? ... ... We know that the white man does not understand our ways ... he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on ... ... He treats his mother, the earth, and his brother, the sky, as things to be bought, plundered, sold like sheep or bright beads. His appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert.' And not just a 'physical' one, but a spiritual one, too. As another Native American saying from the Cree people goes: 'Only after the last tree has been cut down Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Only then will you find you cannot eat money I first quoted that saying 24 years ago when I was campaigning against environmental destruction. It is getting more relevant by the day.

PREPARE TO DOWNLOAD ...... YOUR SEXUALITY

friction001 — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:30:57 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, March 9th 2008 Hello all ... I read a news story the other day that has massive implications and significance way beyond what appears at first sight. It was the news that the sexuality of starlings is being increasingly affected by contamination from female hormones like oestrogen from the contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). These hormones are contained in female urine which passes through the sewage treatment process unchanged and the birds foraging for worms at the sewage works consume the chemicals. One effect of this is to increase the size of that part of the brain which controls their singing, and their song patterns are now very different to what would be expected from male starlings. This is no isolated case, either. The changing of sexuality and other behaviour through chemical pollutants is happening worldwide: * Studies at the University of Alberta discovered that robins contaminated by the pesticide DDT prior to birth suffered damage to the area of the brain that allows them to sing and protect their territory. * Researchers found that some alligators had developed female hormone patterns that led to them having tiny penises and the inability to reproduce, and turtles in the same waters had become both male and female, or hermaphrodites. * Many studies by the British Environment Agency have confirmed that around a third of the male roach fish have developed female sex organs and begun to produce eggs. The cause of the change in the roach sexuality was once again traced to oestrogen passing through sewage works and into the rivers. Where the sewage outflows were especially heavy all the males were found to be of duel sex - hermaphrodites. The link has been well established and why wouldn't it be? It's so obvious. Female hormones affect the feminine nature of the body computer, which is why men take them when they want to have a sex change. If these same chemicals are passing untreated into rivers they are going to have a similar effect on river life and anyone that drinks from that water or consumes those fish. I mean, duh? And it's not only fish and animals that are contaminated by these sex-changing cocktails, so are humans. Why wouldn't they be when you think that two-thirds of British drinking water, for example, comes from rivers and a sizeable amount of that from underneath the very sewage outfalls where the water is most contaminated? Nor is it only the obvious sexual hormones, like oestrogen, that do the damage. So do pollutants used in every-day life like dioxins, the lethal poison that has widely-contaminated the natural and human-made world. Others include: PCBs that are used in paints, plastics and a long list of other products; phthalates, which makes plastics more flexible; and the common PVC. When 14 basic foods were tested straight off the supermarket shelves by the Worldwide Fund for Nature all were found to be contaminated by PCBs and most contained phthalates. The consequences are now becoming clearer by the day. The higher you go up the food-chain the greater the accumulation of PCBs and other pollutants A study at Rotterdam's Erasmus University discovered that the male children of mothers exposed to PCBs were attracted to traditionally 'girl' toys like dolls and tea-sets, and researchers at the University of Rochester in New York State found that boys born to mothers contaminated by phthalates developed smaller penises and signs of 'feminisation of the genitals'. Another aspect of all this is that those communities with high levels of these pollutants and hormones in the environment have been producing twice as many girls as boys when the traditional norm has been around 106 boys to 100 girls. It has been estimated that in America and Japan alone some 250,000 children that would have been expected to be boys have been born girls. But the most widespread consequence of this chemical distortion of human sexuality would appear to be the falling sperm counts across the world. They have dropped on average by well over half in the last 50 years, according to studies in more than 20 countries, and the rate of decline is continuing at around two-per-cent a year. Is it really a coincidence that this is happening in a period when chemicals with the potential to transform sexuality have been spreading their poisons across the world? No doubt there are many factors affecting sperm levels, but this is most definitely among the major ones. Take into account also that (a) one of the prime longer-term goals of the global conspiracy is to massively reduce the population to make it more manageable and controllable, and (b) that the most effective way of getting pollutants and hormones into the body computer is through air and water. As the chemist, Charles Perkins, wrote about fluoride in drinking water back in 1954: '... in the 1930s, Hitler and the German Nazis envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass control, which was submitted to, and adopted by, the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would induce sterility in women and so on. In this scheme of mass control sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place.' This same theme is what we are now seeing today as more and more evidence of chemical effects on human sexuality come to light. The body is an electrochemical computer and any electrical or chemical interference that disturbs its natural balance will obviously have adverse effects on its ability to function efficiency, or as it was designed to be. That's the idea - to suppress the body as a vehicle for higher consciousness to manifest its awareness in this reality and thus keep the human level of the population locked-away in an electrically-infested, chemical-infested, toxic prison. This is why it is no coincidence whatsoever that we are being bombarded by chemical food and drink additives; constant electromagnetic pollution; vaccinations (poisons); chemtrails; and body-changing toxins and hormones, among much else. The rank-and-file gofers who are physically responsible for doing all this in food factories, doctors surgeries, cell phone companies, chemtrail aircraft and pharmaceutical corporations have no idea what the cumulative affects will be - but those in the shadows orchestrating the whole deal know exactly what they are doing. They are re-wiring the body computer to answer to their programming and resonances and ignore the impulses of higher consciousness. That's the main reason for the human microchip - to gain electrical access to the body-computer. How does the brain operate primarily? Electrically. And the five-senses communicate with the brain electrically. If you can intervene in this communication between the 'physical' senses and the brain, and also the decoding processes of the brain, you can fundamentally manipulate, individually and collectively, human perception of reality. These are the deeper levels of the global agenda that are rarely, if ever, discussed by the mainstream of conspiracy research, but this is where the most profound levels of control are operating - in the distortion of human reality, mentally, emotionally and physically. The body-computer is a crystalline transmitter-receiver The DNA, and the body's entire crystalline structure, is a receiver-transmitter of information that has the ability to scan many wavelengths, not just this one we call the physical world. If you can suppress, or re-tune, that receiver-transmitter potential you can limit the range than can be scanned. This is what genetically-modified food is all about - re-programming human DNA to dumb-down its ability to get 'out there' to other wavelengths of reality and awareness. The idea is to entrap human awareness in five-sense reality and then control the information available to those five senses. In short, to disconnect the body-computer from higher wavelengths (consciousness) and then program what I call 'body-consciousness' with the version of reality that suits the manipulators via their controlled media and 'education' system in all its forms. Put most succinctly, they are seeking to isolate those in 'physical' embodiment from any other reality and this is the prime reason for the attack on DNA and the electrochemical systems in general. Even more obviously, this is the motivation behind the plan to microchip every child at birth as a matter of course. They want no-one to enter this reality as free beings unconnected to their technological Alcatraz. Most people have no idea of the scale of what is planned, although it is there for all to see today if they would only open their minds and thus their eyes. While the sperm counts continue to fall amid the gathering onslaught on male sexuality, UK scientists are claiming to have found a way to make sperm and procreate without the need for men at all. 'Is that a man, or a woman?' 'It's a blond male, who will be a lawyer, marry the dark-haired lady in the other batch, and he'll vote Republican.' Researchers at Newcastle University are working with stem calls, which can be turned into any other kind of cell, in a project to create sperm from women's bone marrow. Professor Karim Nayernia, who pioneered the technique with mice, says that early- stage 'female sperm' could be produced inside two years and mature sperm that can fertilise eggs in perhaps three more years. Early-stage sperm from male bone marrow has already been produced. The plan is to eventually take even procreation out of the control of people and into the hands of the State. George Orwell did not go far enough when he described the extent of his 1984 society. The real plan is worse and it's time we faced it before it's too late to turn around. But at least there is some good news in the information I have outlined here. Good news? How, pray? I have been banging on for years about the body being a computer and not who we really are; that the body is a vehicle, a means, to experience this reality and not the real 'I', which is infinite consciousness. When we look in the mirror we think we're looking at who we are when in fact we are merely seeing the reflection of the 'physical', or more accurately, holographic, vehicle for who we are. This confusion is at the heart of human enslavement by the five senses. Yet, look at what we have been talking about here. One of the most powerful of 'physical' self-identities is that we are either a man or a woman. Yet how can 'we' be a man or a woman when a mere chemical like oestrogen or testosterone can transform us from one to the other?? This is who I am, so long as I don't take those pills. Ugh? The changes in sexuality detailed above, and so many other examples, are more confirmation that the body is a biological computer that can be reprogrammed through chemical and electrical means to change its sexual, mental, emotional and 'physical' nature. Look at the behaviour and emotional changes that come from chemical changes - like bird song, one-female hens crowing at dawn and mercury teeth-fillings sending people into clinical depression. Are we even our emotions in the way that we experience them in human embodiment? I suggest not. The more who understand all this, the more will have the potential to be free of self-identity with the computer level of reality. This offers us the freedom to move our point of observation from body consciousness to higher - infinite - consciousness and to see both the world and ourselves in an entirely new light. We are not men or women, black or white, Muslim, Christian or Jew. These are what people are experiencing, what their consciousness is experiencing, it is not who they are. But what horrors the ignorance of this has created, and is creating, through these fault lines of division and apartness, illusory supremacy and truly cosmic stupidity. So there are many ways to observe these stories coming to light about the chemical effects of pollutants and hormones on the human form. There is the unpleasant angle because it is part of the agenda to entrap humanity in the five-senses; but look at it another way and it's ever-more compelling confirmation that we are not our bodies - we are consciousness, the infinite, eternal 'I', that is everyone and everything once the veil of illusion is lifted. What's more, the knowledge of one will bring an end to the other.

RULES RULE ...... OKAY?

David Icke Newsletter, March 16th 2008 Dis*cre*tion. n. Freedom to act or judge on one's own - Thefreedictionary.com Hello all ... It is in the apparently little things in daily life that you can see where the world is collectively heading and two recent experiences have shown me how deep the 'rules is rules' mentality and political correctness is now embedded in mainstream society. Last Saturday I was driving with my 15-year-old son, Jaymie, to a football match in southern England when he needed a wee. Nothing could be more natural - water in, water out. Everyone needs to wee or they would eventually explode. It's one of those things that connects us all, be we prince or pauper, rich or poor. Even the Queen of England with all her wealth and power needs to have a widdle. There is probably even some Mistress of the Potty to administer the sacred flush accompanied by the sound of booming canons. 'One wants a wee'. Cue music: 'Hallelujah! Hallelujah!' Cue commentator speaking in hushed tones: 'And now, in accordance with the tradition of the ages, Her Majesty is approached, head bowed, by the Mistress of the Potty and begins her sacred journey down the corridor to the royal water closet. She waves to the assembled courtiers as they line her route and they bow and wish her well in her coming endeavours. God save the Queen!' For the rest of us in need of a tiddle we have to find a place to do it without people in wigs and breeches marching beside us and last Saturday that proved less than straightforward. We were out on the motorway when the need arose and we came off to begin a 25 minutes search amid the residential streets of a place called Eastleigh in Hampshire -until there it was, like an oasis in a desert ... a petrol filling station and shop called 'Alldays' on Passfield Avenue. However, Passwater Avenue, it was not. By now I needed to fill up my middle-range family car ($110 a time, by the way, for our American readers) and so it seemed we had cracked it - a toilet and a filling station together. But no. Jay was by this time dancing more than walking and the situation had reached, shall we say, an acute stage. He ran in the shop while I filled the car. A minute or so later he was back. 'They say they don't have a toilet', he said. I went in myself to pay for the petrol and make it clear to them that we had an emergency on our hands in the wee department. Behind the counter were two teenage girls who had both sadly failed to secure the title of 'Brain of Britain'. 'Excuse me, my son needs the toilet real badly, haven't you got one he can use?' 'No, we don't 'ave one.' 'So where do you go, then?' 'In the staff toilet.' 'So you do have a toilet?' 'Yeah, but the public can't use it.' 'Okay, but my son is really struggling, can't you make an exception just once?' 'No, it's not allowed - there's a toilet at the Sports Centre down the road.' I asked to see whoever was in charge and onto the scene arrived the manageress, a lady with an expression akin to chewing a lemon, or, as my old mum would say, with 'a face like a smacked arse'. She was about five-feet-four, but somehow managed to look down on me, which was quite a feat, but one which, it seemed to me, she had taken endless opportunities to practice. 'What's the problem?', our lemon-sucker began. 'My son is desperate for the toilet and I am told you have a staff toilet, could he use it please?' 'No.' 'Why?' 'It's against the rules.' 'But can't you just do it out of basic humanity, one human in trouble helped by another?' 'No, if I let one do it, I would have to let everyone do it.' This is the 'rational' of the unthinking, uncaring 'mind' - that if you make an exception because of extreme circumstances you are somehow opening the floodgates, appropriately in this case, to a long queue of people saying 'you allowed him, so we want the same'. Minds enslaved by rules are frozen and so move as one unit. Thus, if it's not black it must be white. It's as if such minds have been employed so rarely to think independently that they have become locked into only two potential responses - 'yes' or 'no' - in accordance with whatever the rulebook has decreed. Looking at a situation on its individual merits? 'What's in, inde, er, indu.' I wouldn't bother, if I were you, and as for 'merits', don't even go there, I'd fear for your health. What was encapsulated in that brief interchange last Saturday was the way the system controls the people (those who have chosen to stay in their comatose state) in the way that computer programs control robots. For instance, the unbreakable rule that 'only staff use the toilet' is no different to an instruction encoded into computer software or robot technology. You press the button and the program kicks in. 'I ...am ...a ... Da ...lek ... on ... ly ... staff ... can ... use ... the ... staff ... toi ...let ... ex ... ster ... min ... ate ... ex ... ster ... min ... ate ...' 'He ... wants ... a ... wee ... kill ... him ... kill ... him ...' The software controlling this lady's actions was the Alldays corporate rule book and, just like a robot, she will not deviate from its program no matter what the circumstances. Her mind is no longer hers; it belongs to the book, the company, which is nothing more than an agent for the system. What's more, others in the queue behind me were not saying 'Hey, come on, let the lad use the toilet, don't be silly'. They were asking how long I was going to keep them waiting. There was just no empathy, no basic humanity for someone in trouble. It was a scene from a sci-fi movie like the Matrix or Stepford Wives. Were any of these people actually conscious? It seemed not. To a free, or freer mind, the situation was simple. Here was a young lad that desperately needed the toilet and here was a toilet. The perfect match. But enslaved minds don't do simple, let alone see it. To them the world is a complex land of rules and regulations that they must follow and obey and unless the rules say the situation is simple, it cannot be so. Two weeks earlier I was at a youth football match watching Jaymie playing in goal for his team. I stood near his goal and took photographs of him when he was called into action. Once again, real simple - a father taking photos of his son. But, once more, not so in the minds of those in Never, Never Land. In this case, Never, Never take photographs of your own children without getting the permission of the parents of all the other players on the pitch who may or may not be in the background of any images. 'Illegal picture': A son playing football The referee of the game, who must surely work at Alldays, came over to me to say it was against the rules for me to take photographs without the permission of all the players' parents (most of whom weren't even at the match). 'I am taking photographs of my own son', I said, 'What the hell can be the problem?' 'The FA [the governing body of English football] has said that no pictures can be taken without permission of the parents - it's to stop paedophiles.' 'But he's my son.' 'Sorry, those are the rules.' Then came the classic you hear all the time from these rule-book 'minds': 'There's nothing I can do, I am just following the rules.' Well, actually, there is something you can do; you can use your own mind to take the situation on his merits. This referee guy had stood beside me while I was kicking in balls at Jaymie before the match - he knew he was my son. But no; rules is rules, mate, nothing I can do. No exceptions. When a few wish to control the many they have to get members of the many to enforce the rules that give them the control they desire. There are nothing like enough manipulators, working in full knowledge of the agenda, to police and pen the masses. They have to get the masses to police and pen each other. To do this they need to target and develop the rule book mentality which concedes all rights to free thought to whatever someone they have never met, and probably never heard of, has decided the rules will be in any given situation. Such people are the unconscious made manifest and without them the few could never control the rest. These blueprint minds almost always appear in uniform, which is the physical, outward expression of the uniformity that exists between their ears. Look the same, obey the same (with honourable exceptions). With each passing day, I can see more clearly the parting of the ways between those who are awakening from the trance and those who are going ever-deeper into it. In the small town where I live I observe the zombies-in-uniform and the luminous-jacket-Mafiosi as they, ever-more conspicuously, ply their robotic trade with rule-book-in-hand and rule-book-in-head. The system wants what I call 'traffic cameras on legs'. The thousands of speed cameras we have across the UK have no discretion. It doesn't matter if you do a few miles over the limit on an empty road at midnight or if you do the same speed in heavy traffic at noon. The camera just flashes and the two situations get treated the same. That's what they want from their robots-in-uniform. No discretion, just slavish obedience - traffic cameras on legs. In my town we once had a lovely bloke whose job was to enforce the car parking regulations. He did it with good sense and good humour and if you parked in an illegal, but safe, place for a minute or two to use an ATM or something he just said 'Okay, quick as you can'. Everything worked fine, but he was sacked for not writing enough tickets and along came his replacement, a guy who had ambitions to be John Wayne, but had to settle for giving out tickets to motorists. The whole atmosphere changed and so did the number of tickets because consciousness had been replaced by a software mind. There are now four or five equally robotic uniforms doing the same job in the town today, where once one man did it so well and with such common sense. It is happening everywhere as the personnel are employed to enforce the ever-gathering Orwellian State. The reason is obvious. The more rules and laws you introduce to impose on the people, the more robotic minds you need to employ to unthinkingly enforce them. The explosion in 'law enforcement' personnel is merely the public face of the explosion in laws to enforce. They are nothing more than pawns of the State, like cogs in an engine, going round and round without thought or discretion until it's time to replace them with a new one that works just the same. As I said in a recent newsletter, the system is created, controlled and administered by intellect, that low level of awareness expressed through the left brain, the realm of structure, form and 'rational' thought. The intellect loves rules and the more obsessed you are with rules the more imprisoned you are by the intellect. And by 'intellect' I don't mean intellectual, necessarily. The lady in Alldays and the football referee were not university professors or esteemed physicists. The intellect does not have to be sharp, advanced or developed to be the point of observation through which we filter reality. What a contrast the rule-bookers are to those who are choosing to awaken and replace rules with free thought and empathy capable of assessing life on the circumstances before them. A free mind does not require rules to function like an enslaved intellect. It uses filters like fairness, justice, empathy and simple common sense to make its decisions because it is free to assess without the limitation of pre-conceived ideas and catch-all rules. It flows with the Now, instead of having rules set in the 'past' deciding its 'future'. I can't put it better than what my father used to say: 'Rules and regulations are for the guidance of the intelligent and the blind obedience of the idiot'. Which reminds me, I need a wee.

SHOCKED INTO LINE ...... THE TASER AGENDA

friction001 — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 05:32:42 GMT

The David Icke Newsletter, December 9th, 2007 Hello all ... The Taser, the new toy-of-control for the heavies-in-uniform, is the latest in the long line of 'supposed to bees' imposed by government. The Taser is supposed to be a 'non-lethal' weapon, but the deaths continue to mount. It is supposed to be used only on those who physically threaten police or public, but it is being used in response to the most minor lack of cooperation. Of course, supposed to bees are for public consumption only, as with legislation that is only supposed to be used against 'terrorists' when it is actually aimed at the general population. It was always known that the Taser had the potential to kill. It is stating the obvious to say that the body's electrical system is rather crucial to it staying alive and when that system is short-circuited the consequences can clearly be lethal. The Taser unleashes 50,000 volts of electricity to 'jam the nervous system' of the target in the way described here: And they didn't know it had the potential to kill? Even Taser International, the weapon's inventor, admits: 'Taser technology is not risk free, but independent medical and scientific experts have determined that when used properly, Taser technology is among the most effective use-of-force interventions available to law enforcement.' (My emphasis) What utter baloney. 'Most effective' use-of-force simply means that it works in controlling people. Smacking them around the head with a baseball bat would also be extremely 'effective' in achieving the same end. It doesn't make it right. Even when 'used properly' the Taser shocks the victim with 50,000 volts of electricity, never mind the repeated doses inflicted by some of the goons caught on video (put Taser into YouTube or Google Video). People with heart problems, including pacemakers, are at even greater risk and how do police officers know the state of health of those they attack with what a UN committee has dubbed 'a form of torture'? The Taser-peddlers employ misleading propaganda like this: 'In healthy subjects, exposure to a 5-second electrical discharge from a Taser does not result in any significant changes that indicate increased physiologic stress ...' So if you get hit by a Taser and die it's your fault because you weren't healthy enough. Stories of people dying after being Tasered are coming almost by the week at the moment and Amnesty International suggests that well in excess of 200 people have died so far. As its use increases so, obviously, will the deaths. And the use is increasing as original guidelines are relaxed - exactly as they were always planned to be. In the UK, Tasers could only be used by 'specialist officers' as an alternative to bullets, but now they can be used against anyone the police decide is 'potentially violent', even when they are unarmed. But Taser use goes much further. People in handcuffs, pregnant women, the old and the young, are now fair-game for these morons. One innocent deaf guy was Tasered by Wichita Police who forced their way into his home after a false alarm about a shooting. He kept saying 'I can't hear! I can't hear!', but they hit him with the Taser for 'refusing to obey their commands'. A British man was Tasered twice by another idiot while he lay in a diabetic coma, and see this example at Sheffield Lake in the United States involving a woman who was no physical threat to the officers. Click here ... Invariably, even the most extreme use of the Taser is defended by superiors to protect the credibility of the weapon. A Polish immigrant can be seen on video being Tasered to his death at Vancouver Airport recently when he was no threat to the three big 'brave' officers who dealt with him. The lawyer for Robert Dziekanski's family said he had been in touch with witnesses and viewed the video of the incident taken by an onlooker and it appeared that the interaction between the police and Dziekanski, who could not speak English, lasted just 24 seconds before the Taser was used. These three frail little policemen could not restrain this Polish man without use of the Taser that ended his life. Poor dears Many police forces can even use the Taser on children and they are doing so, as we saw with the case of the nine-year-old girl at an Arizona school for special needs children. The girl was already handcuffed when a 'veteran officer' used the Taser on her. 'It didn't involve an integrity issue,' his superior said, 'The officer made a decision to do what he thought he needed to do'. How can it involve integrity when you don't have any? In the UK it is quite legal to use the Taser on children even though the government's own Defence Scientific Advisory Council medical committee has said that not enough is known about the health risks of using the weapon on children. The committee, which is made up of 'independent' scientists and doctors, said that limited research suggested there was a risk children could suffer 'a serious cardiac event'. The committee recommended that officers should be 'particularly vigilant' for any adverse response from Taser victims and asked for guidelines to be changed to 'identify children and adults of small stature' as being at potentially greater risk from the cardiac effects of what are claimed to be non-lethal Tasers. The manufacturers have refused to accept that any death anywhere has been caused by its products because being hit by a Taser and then dying does not, apparently, constitute a connection. What claptrap. So point number one: They knew it could, indeed would, kill people. This 'non-lethal' - potentially lethal - weapon has been handed out to police officers in many countries with the aim of having it available to all officers everywhere. Now, what do you need to be a police officer? Intelligence? No, clearly not from the many I have met around the world. Some of the most mentally-challenged people I have come across have had badges on their caps. All you need to become a police officer is to be accepted and selected by those in authority. Er, that's it. Thus, police forces worldwide are peopled to a highly significant extent by the stupid, corrupt, psychopathic and emotionally crippled (see Louisiana, I rest my case). In among them you do have the genuine, decent police officers who do have a brain in working order and do have a sense of duty and proportion. But here's the rub. Both the sensible and decent and the stupid, corrupt, psychopathic and emotional cripples are being issued with Tasers. The uniform professions are magnets for the emotionally undeveloped - those who lack inner-security and therefore need to find it 'out there'. Many such people pursue their need for external security through the entertainment industry where audiences and fame provide their 'Your wonderful' fix. This is why so many famous 'celebrities' find it impossible to cope with failure or their careers in decline because their sense of security, of who they are, also declines in proportion to their celebrity. The darker side of insecurity, however, can often be found in uniform because this expression of what a therapist might call 'negative self-identity' seeks to find cover in having power over others. Secure people don't wish to control anyone because they are at peace with themselves and the flow of life. It is the insecure that need to control everything and everyone because life to them is akin to a baby lost in the dark. Having control, or having the appearance of it, is where they get their security. These are the sort of people, the John Wayne wannabes, who are trigger-happy with the Taser when they are in no way threatened by the target. As we can see from the video evidence, the Taser comes out when orders are merely being questioned or ignored. Or, in the minds of the officers, their sense of security is being threatened. They are so desperate to always be in control, always be obeyed, that their heads go when someone has the audacity not to do exactly what they say. What is going through their insecurity-filter is 'How dare you disobey me?' Arrogance is always a cover for lack of self-esteem. In the past the most they could do was force the handcuffs on, call for back-up, or accept that the member of the public had a right to his or her opinion and the right to question the officer's actions. Now, with increasing frequency, out comes the Taser. 'The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and ... in certain cases it could also cause death ...' - UN Committee report Take the level of insecurity to even greater extremes and you find the mental and emotional territory of the psychopaths. These require total control over their victims to mask the terrified little boy that dwells within and these are the people who find pleasure in inflicting terror and torture on others. Many end up in the military, where they have whole training programmes to produce them, and some opt for the police. It is all about being in control - to feel they have complete power over others. Then there are those whose fear is much closer to the surface, the ones who panic easy and, for that reason, shoot first and consider the consequences later. There is no better example of this than the London police 'marksman' who shot an innocent Brazilian electrician seven times in the head from point blank range while his fellow officers held the guy on the floor. Was he still a 'threat' after six, then? The last people who should have access to guns and Tasers are those who have a 'John Wayne' complex to mask their insecurity; psychopaths; and panicky people who are not up to the job. Now, here's a fact: Police forces across the world are awash with all three and they have been given the power to shoot people with 50,000 volts whenever they think it 'appropriate'. The police state isn't coming, it's here. So point number two: They knew that the Taser would be abused, or not 'used properly', just as they knew it could kill. Why would a company and its governmental clients introduce a 'non-lethal' weapon that they knew could kill and would be abused by the many numbskull officers that they employ? This is where the coordinates come in. If your coordinate on life is that the authorities are there to serve the people and protect them from harm you will have one of two main responses to the Taser and the countless cases of misuse that are coming to light. One will be that if people don't want to get Tasered they should do as they're told; and the other is that the authorities have been incompetent and made a 'mistake' with its introduction. If, however, your reality coordinate is that the main objective of government is to control and dictate to the population you will see that this has nothing to do with incompetence and 'mistakes'. You will also see that the Taser is being introduced in country after country through the same global network that controls country after country. What we're seeing, literally every day, is the building of the global prison that they want in place a few short years from now, and key to that is the suppression of those who have realised, to a greater or lesser extent, what is going on. Introducing laws to stop 'terrorism' that can be equally applied to those who question, expose or challenge government is a massive part of this structure of suppression. So are the surveillance cameras, the spying free-for-all, ID cards and microchips in people, vehicles and products. Also in this malevolent mix is the Taser and its even more horrific successors already being prepared for use, like the Taser XREP with a range of 100 feet. Its Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation, or 'NMI', can be delivered by a shotgun at 300 feet per second to embed itself in the victim's body and electro-shock them for 20 seconds. The prime role of Taser technology is the same as the electric shocks that mice receive in laboratory behaviour-control experiments. The mice are shocked each time they try to enter certain channels and eventually they stop trying. The fear of being shocked is enough to control them and that's the real role of the Taser. The videos of people being Tasered, and the stories of those who die, are no problem for those in real authority. They want people to see this because it is saying ... 'Look what will happen to you if you don't obey'. An article I saw about the Taser XREP included this line from the writer: 'We'll behave ourselves, officer, but please, just point that thing somewhere else'. That's exactly the mentality that the Taser is designed to instil. Those who are knowingly imposing the global fascist dictatorship are terrified that vast numbers of people will wake up to their game and they are preparing the ground not only for individuals, but great gatherings of people to be controlled by Taser technology. They are producing Tasers to defend whole areas, like the Orwellian 'Taser Remote Area Denial' (TRAD) system. The Taser International website tells us that the 'true power of TASERNET can be realized when TRAD modules are installed in a networked security solution' (Lots of them together). This, it goes on, is ... ... 'Ideal for protecting high value facilities or operations such as checkpoints, command centers, depots, aircraft insertions, and spec-ops, as well as fixed installations such as embassies, airfields, utility facilities, pipelines, etc. TASERNET provides the user the capabilities of visual observation and oversight coupled with the ability to engage and incapacitate targets remotely.' This, and even bigger versions, would also be ideal for stopping protests and mass gatherings of people who come together to challenge the dictatorship. Let us have no illusions that this is a key reason for their introduction. Despite all the deaths and the abuse of the Taser, the UK Home Secretary, the lightweight of lightweights, Jacqui Smith, sang from her songsheet and said she could 'see the day' when the Taser was carried by every police officer alongside their batons and radios. That was always the plan by the Shadow People behind world events and that's why the Taser 'trials' were always going to become the 'norm' no matter what the people want or how many are killed and hurt. It is also why the Home Secretaries and governments come and go, but the Taser agenda is pushed by all of them. It shows how far we have come down the Orwellian road that the Taser.co.uk website can say that the Taser is a 'proven solution for stopping violence'. Hitting another human being with 50,000 volts of electricity is considered to be 'stopping violence'. Ahh, but you see the authorities are never violent, even when they are pepper-bombing cities. Only the people are violent. The authorities merely employ the 'use of force'.

PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION ...

friction001 — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 08:23:23 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, November 25th 2007 ... DRINK THAT ... ... EAT THAT ... ... AND NOW ... ... SWALLOW THIS Hello all ... I saw a staggering statistic this week ... one in ten American children take the mind-altering drug, Ritalin, and other research puts it at around one in eight. Pause for bloody breath. WHAT?? I have talked constantly over the years about the technique I call the Totalitarian Tiptoe when an extreme agenda is introduced in little - and now not so little - steps to hide the direction it is taking us. What is happening to our children across the world is a most blatant example of what I mean and those figures for Ritalin consumption show just how far it has gone. And here's some more: In 1993, UK doctors wrote 3,500 prescriptions for Ritalin; By 1996 it was 26,500; and last year the UK National Health Service (not including private medicine) issued 250,000. Along with Ritalin, other copy-cat drugs have been produced to exploit the obsession, and the calculated agenda, of drugging the young. These include Adderall, Concerta Metadate CD, Ritalin LA, Focalin and Strattera (Atomoxetine). As you would expect, the Bush family-connected Eli Lilly is heavily involved. Another drug given to children is Risperdal, which was used on political prisoners in the Soviet Union to extract information. David Healy, a leading psycho-pharmacology expert and Professor of Psychiatry at Cardiff University in Wales, said: 'People who took [Risperdal] would tell anything to anyone. When you think about giving these drugs to kids, it's a whole new ball game'. All of these drugs have the same effect as 'speed' and cocaine. These are, of course, illegal and yet drug companies and their lackeys, called 'doctors', are quite legally giving them to children like candy at Christmas. The drugs also have possible health consequences such as heart problems and diabetes. These are described as 'side-effects', but they are not 'side effects' at all. They are effects, nothing 'side' about it. The 'problem' promoted by the drug cartel - or 'Big Pharma' - to trigger this explosion of child drug abuse is something they call Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. As Professor Healy also said: 'There is an active campaign by pharmaceutical companies to convince people that there's adult ADHD. Adults having problems are being told they have adult ADHD and are being offered drugs for it. Pharmaceutical companies market these drugs aggressively. How can GPs refuse to prescribe a drug "clinically proven" to work?' Only when they have a mind of their own is the answer to that one. There is now gathering evidence that these drugs don't even work on the 'condition' they are claiming to treat and there is much expert and experienced opinion that says there is no such thing as Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In which case we are looking at what I call a No Problem-Reaction-Solution - see 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. This is a widespread scam by Big Pharma. They make their multi-billions by people being physically, mentally and emotionally sick and to keep increasing profits they need more illness, or, through No Problem-Reaction-Solution, the public perception of more illness. This includes inventing 'new' ones that don't actually exist. My healer friend, Mike Lambert, was telling me how drug companies are treating as a 'disease' many natural body immune and other responses that are necessary to keep the person well. So all this is, once again, about money? No, no, no. This is something I keep stressing over and over. We must not get caught in the cul-de-sac of 'It's all about money' or 'It's all about oil'. The accumulation of money and the ownership of oil supplies are by-products of the real agenda - human control. The main thrust of this is the suppression of both the intellect and, even more crucially, the multi-dimensional connection which allows people to be 'in' this world physically through the body computer, but not 'of' this world in terms their consciousness and its point of observation and perception. To do this, they need to destabilise the body computer and its electrochemical processes, which we call thought and emotion. Once achieved, consciousness cannot make its voice heard through the body, any more than a brilliant computer programmer can get his intentions through a faulty computer onto the Internet. The conspiracy for global control is targeting everyone in this regard, but, of course, their prime focus is children and young people because they are going to be the adults when the structure of world tyranny is planned to be in place. They know, too, that the effect of what they are doing is cumulative and so by the time the young become adults their minds will be messed up to a far greater extent than they are now. The body is an electrochemical system and anything that imbalances that is going to have negative consequences physically, mentally and emotionally, all of which are electrochemical phenomena. It is no co-incidence that as the tyranny began its sprint to the finishing line the population, and most especially the young, have been bombarded with electrochemical attacks. These come through the chemicals added to food and drink, the chemicals in the production processes, and the effects of the electromagnetic and microwave 'soup' in which we now live, created from the disruptive energy fields produced by electromagnetic technology, mobile phones, and so on. The manipulators know how the body works and what it is. They have just made sure that the population doesn't know, but the consequences of what I am saying are now becoming clear from the pure experience. Last September, research for the British Food Standards Agency was published in the medical journal, The Lancet, and it told us what anyone with a modicum of brain activity should have known already: There was a clear link between food and drink additives and hyperactive behaviour in children. Scientists from the University of Southampton conducted the research on nearly 300 children aged three and eight, none of whom had been previously diagnosed or suspected of hyperactivity. They drank a mixture of additives that would normally be found in a daily intake and afterwards they were found to become 'boisterous and lose concentration'. They were not able to play with one toy or complete a single task and they were observed to have what was called 'impulsive behaviour'. The eight years olds were not able to complete a 15-minute computer exercise. NOW. Look at the findings of that additives research. The behaviour caused by the chemical cocktails included hyperactive and compulsive behaviour, making the children 'boisterous and lose concentration', and not being able to play with one toy or complete a single task. And what do Big Pharma and its in-the-back-pocket medical profession tell us are the symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that must be treated with Ritalin and the like? They say that this 'condition' can be seen in children who: * Have trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities. * Do not follow instructions and fail to finish schoolwork, jobs or activities. * Are easily distracted. * Have trouble playing or enjoying leisure activities quietly. * Are 'on the go' or act as if 'driven by a motor'. * Exhibit impulsive and compulsive behaviour. In other words, the behaviour symptoms of kids in an official additives trial and those given these mind-altering drugs like Ritalin for 'behaviour disorder' are the same. No wonder, then, that the astonishing rise in the use of these drugs has followed the astonishing rise in the chemical additives in food and drink - even without the electromagnetic affects on behaviour. At least the overwhelming majority of child behaviour problems are caused by their brain and body-computer system being scrambled by the chemical and electrical war that has been declared on the children and young people of the world. Those they can't get to through food and drink, and there aren't that many now, they get through 'philanthropic' vaccination programmes. Good old Bill Gates, eh? The plan has been to destabilise people physically, mentally and emotionally to stop the computer level of reality - 'body-consciousness' as I call it - connecting powerfully with multi-dimensional consciousness, so isolating them in the five senses. They can then program the perceptions of computer, or five-sense, reality by controlling its sources of information - the mainstream media and what passes for 'education'. For those who still won't be programmed and who behave and perceive differently from the herd, they now have the fall-back position of diagnosing Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and plying them with these drugs, the affect of which is described by these three parents of children prescribed Ritalin or Risperdal: 'It was as if my son had been replaced by a doped-up zombie. I could hardly wake him in the morning. It was as if all his personality was disappearing, like a patient in a mental institution.' '... within a month, I knew something was terribly wrong. I couldn't wake him in the mornings. It was as if my son was disappearing before my eyes. I did some research and found they give this brain-altering drug to adults in mental institutions. Why did they give it to my son?' 'When it's a doctor you just smile and nod. I knew nothing about the drug or how toxic it was. But things rapidly went downhill once John started taking it. He became aggressive and he couldn't cope with the word "no". He became a horrible person. The doctors increased the dose and he turned into a monster. He was headbutting walls and throwing things out of the window. The doctors said: "You need more Ritalin".' The best way to get rid of a problem is not to find a solution. It is to remove the cause. And the cause of this is the crap we give to children to eat and drink, in association with a cocktail of other mind programming. The third of those quotes from those parents came from John Tyson and he eventually took his son, also called John, to the Cactus Clinic at the University of Teesside school of social sciences in the north east of England where they don't use drugs to treat behaviour. The clinic manager Amanda Clarkson says: 'Attention disorders are not diseases, but patterns of inappropriate behaviour'. Yes, they are and they can be changed by working with the child, not drugging them, and by changing the diet that is so often the villain in the background. John Tyson removed gluten, wheat and dairy foods from his son's diet and gave him mineral supplements. The affect was clear to see: 'After six weeks, the benefits were noticeable. After three months, I knew I was getting my boy back. I think it's wicked how children are being doped when there are alternatives.' Studies in England and Australia have found that six capsules a day of fish oil can vastly improve children's behaviour and is more effective than Ritalin and related drugs without any of the 'side-effects'. One mother, Rachel Gow, told of the amazing transformation in her son, Nathaniel, after she replaced the Ritalin-like drug, Concerta, with fish oil. She described how within days of starting the Concerta medication for 'Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder' her son lost his appetite and suffered violent mood swings: 'He stopped eating, he wasn't sleeping and I couldn't get him away from his PlayStation - it had a hypnotic effect on him. He was focusing on it but in a disturbing way. 'It was as if his soul had gone. He was a wide-eyed shadow of his former self. His mood swings were extreme - he went from being hysteria to uncontrollable anger to crying like a baby within minutes. Anything could set him off. He wasn't Nathaniel, he wasn't my son. It was frightening. Then Rachel replaced the drug with six Omega 3 fish oil capsules a day and his symptoms have all but vanished. She said: 'We've noticed a dramatic reduction in his hyperactivity, he is much happier, doesn't have the mood swings and his concentration has improved.' Why? Because the ingredients in the fish oil help to balance the chemical imbalances that were causing the imbalanced behaviour. They say of computers that if you put garbage in you get garbage out and it is the same with the body-computer. That's why the system is designed to give us garbage to eat and drink, but we don't have to do what it wants us to do. There may be a war on our minds and bodies, but we don't have to come out with our hands up.

'UFOS ARE REAL' ...... BUT WHY NOW?

friction001 — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:47:42 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, November 18th 2007 Hello all ... After decades of suppression and ridicule, the UFO debate is entering centre stage, or, at least, the mainstream media. Last Monday, a group of former Air Force, intelligence, government and aviation personnel from seven countries gathered at the National Press Club in Washington DC to demand Congressional hearings into the UFO cover up. They claimed that the US government has been suppressing the evidence of extraterrestrial activity for more than 50 years. What's more, the group said they had witnessed UFOs themselves and so they knew from personal experience that they were real. One of the witnesses was the former Governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, which was a surprise to anyone who remembers his behaviour, as governor, during the phenomenon known as the 'Phoenix Lights' in 1997. This was when thousands of people, many of them waiting to see the Hale-Bopp Comet, saw an enormous 'V'-shaped craft (some say round) glide silently across the Phoenix sky for some 30 minutes. Onlookers at many locations in Phoenix and at least five other cities estimated the craft to be the size of many football fields, some said even a mile long. No credible explanation for this event has been produced and similar craft have been reported in England and Belgium. Governor Symington responded to public bewilderment and concern by calling a spoof press conference in which he produced the 'culprit' - his chief-of-staff Jay Heiler was marched handcuffed into the room dressed as an 'alien' and wearing a rubber mask. 'This just goes to show that you guys are entirely too serious', Symington told the media. Now, ten years later, the same Symington was at the National Press Club to reveal himself as a true believer. He said that he had seen one of the Phoenix Lights craft himself: 'It was enormous and inexplicable', he said. 'Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it, too. It was dramatic. And it couldn't have been flares because it was too symmetrical. It had a geometric outline, a constant shape.' Quite a conversion on the road to Damascus for Symington, well, the road to Phoenix, anyway, and, ironically, he now says: 'I wish that government entities would stop trying to shut down these investigations by putting out some flakey story'. Other witnesses at the National Press Club told of how UFO sightings were systematically covered up. John Callahan, a former chief of accidents and investigations at the Federal Aviation Administration, said he was ordered by the CIA to suppress news of an incident involving a UFO and a Japanese airliner over Alaska in 1986. 'We were all sworn to secrecy that this event never happened', he said. Michael Smith, a US Air Force air traffic controller more than 40 years ago, said that UFOs were so close to his military base in Michigan on one occasion that two B-52 bombers had to fly around them. Smith added that when he was stationed in Oregon he saw a UFO hovering at 80,000 feet, but was told not to report it. He said: 'NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command] called me one night to say there's a UFO coming up the California coastline. I asked them what to do. They said nothing, not to write it down.' NASA design illustrator, Donna Hare, who has intelligence clearance, said that UFOs were routinely airbrushed out of high altitude photos of the Earth before being released to the public. She went on: 'A guard told me he was asked to burn some photographs and not to look at them. And there was another guard guarding him, watching him burn the photographs. He looked at one and it was a picture of a UFO and he immediately was hit in the head and had a big gash in his forehead.' The National Press Club event was organised by the Disclosure Project (www.disclosureproject.org) and its most famous advocate, Stephen Greer. It has been pressing for government documents about UFO and extraterrestrial activity to be released since its origins in the early 1990s and now, suddenly, it is apparently making significant breakthroughs. This week has seen major mainstream coverage of the UFO issue, including the Larry King Live show on CNN, which featured some of the Press Club participants and actress Shirley MacLaine, who claims to have seen a UFO. Now, a few things to mention here. Firstly, the idea that humans on this tiny planet are the only life 'as we know it' in this reality is insane on the basis of statistical chance alone. Add to that the ability of advanced non-human races to move in and out of this reality from other frequencies or dimensions of existence and the staggering naivety of the 'We are alone' brigade morphs into view. Simon Driver of the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics and his team estimated in 2003 the number of stars in the known universe. The figure they agreed on was 70 sextillion - 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. 'This is not the total number of stars in the universe, but the number within the range of our telescopes,' Driver said. Understandably, given figures like that, most people see the nonsense of the claim that humans are alone. A national poll in 2002 by the Sci-Fi Channel revealed that 72 percent of Americans believed the government is not telling the public everything it knows about UFO activity, and 68 percent thought the government knows more about extraterrestrial life than it is telling the public. Given that governments are telling the people nothing about extraterrestrial life, the latter would not be difficult, but the point is taken. Other polls have put the figures as high as 95%. But here's the important question in the light of recent mainstream coverage of the UFO/ET question. Why now? Why has the door opened after decades of secrecy and suppression to allow so many apparently credible witnesses to tell their stories to a mass audience? It may be that years of pressure and persistence have forced the door to swing and allow the truth of extraterrestrial activity to be exposed and confirmed. It would be nice if that was the case, but now the 'But'. ... We have to be real careful here not to get carried away by the scent of 'victory'. There is nothing more manipulatable than genuineness that isn't streetwise. Back in the mid-1990s I was writing about the plan to unite the world behind a global dictatorship through the terror of an 'extraterrestrial invasion'. This was encapsulated by a quote attributed to Illuminati operative, Henry Kissinger, at the Bilderberg Group meeting in Evian, France, in May, 1992: 'Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.' Ronald Reagan, the puppet-president controlled by Father George Bush, recalled in 1985 how he had told the then Soviet President, Mikael Gorbachev: 'I couldn't help but say to [Gorbachev], how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences ... and find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth'. Two years later, Reagan told the United Nations General Assembly: 'Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize the common bond that unites all humanity. How quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet I ask you, is not an alien threat already among us?' Yes it is, and it was controlling Reagan, but the idea is not to launch an apparent battle for the planet against the Reptilian and associated 'Grey' species that are truly in power behind the scenes, but to either target extraterrestrial groups with a benevolent agenda to create a fake 'enemy', or to stage the whole 'threat' using 'extraterrestrial' flying craft actually flown by humans or even engage holographic technology to project 'battles in the sky'. The technology for both already exists and the plan has been exposed by many researchers, insiders and writers over the years. It is called Project Blue Beam. I have mentioned this in a previous newsletter - 'Are These The End Times?' - and this becomes even more relevant in the light of the rapidly expanding profile of UFO activity. One of the stages listed for Project Blue Beam was a period when awareness of extraterrestrial interaction with the planet would be increased in the media, preparing people for the announcement that we are under attack from an 'alien' invasion. This would then lead to countries pooling their military and other resources behind a sort of centralised global 'war cabinet' to coordinate the response to this threat to the 'whole world'. In other words, a world army and world government - the long-time Illuminati goal. Other 'stages' in the Blue Beam scenario include: * Fake archaeological 'discoveries' to discredit the beliefs of the major religions and show that they are in error. * A massive 3-D global holographic stage show in the sky with sound and lasers with specific images projected to different parts of the world to fit with the major religious beliefs of each region. Their version of 'God' or the 'Messiah' would speak to them and tell them 'the truth'. Researchers and insiders say that these will include projections of Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna and other leading religious heroes. They will eventually be seen to merge into one - the fusion or 'Antichrist' deity that will be the focus of the One World Religion ... the religion of Babylon. * All this, it is said, will happen amid great upheaval in the world caused by war and 'natural' disaster and include a staged holographic extraterrestrial 'invasion', from which the 'Antichrist', or world dictator, will be seen to 'save us'. The irony of all this is that the fake extraterrestrial invasion would be co-ordinated by the elite families who are 'human' fronts for the Reptilian species that has been manipulating this planet and its people for at least thousands of years. I was chatting about all this in 2006 with Stewart Swerdlow, who learned of Project Blue Beam while in the US military mind-control programme at Montauk on Long Island, New York. He says the majority of UFO sightings and 'alien abductions' are actually the work of the human military for mind-control and other projects, including the creation of 'I saw a UFO' stories. It's all smoke and mirrors. Yes, there is extraterrestrial activity on and around the Earth, but not every piece of technology in advance of what we see in the public arena is of non-human origin. The science in the underground bases, of which there are legion around the world, is light-years ahead of anything the public are allowed to know exists. This makes the manipulation of human activity to appear 'alien' to be child's play. Project Blue Beam was planned to be activated amid great upheavals in the Middle East, and the gathering mainstream promotion of the UFO/extraterrestrial issue that we are now seeing has appeared at a time you would expect in the unfolding timescale for this global trickery. That is not to say that those telling their stories to millions of people in the last week or so are all manipulating the masses for Blue Beam. I am sure that at least the vast majority are genuine people trying to tell genuine stories. That is not the point. It is that now the mainstream media has been made available to them and we can expect this to continue if this is indeed Project Blue Beam at work. I understand why UFO disclosure campaigners have been jumping for joy at the recent mass communication, but all is rarely as it seems. If you see the US President or some other figure telling you that they have been keeping the news from the people to avoid mass panic, but now they have no choice but to say that the Earth is under attack from 'aliens', you'll know Blue Beam is upon us. As they used to say in those cowboy movies: keep your eyes peeled with this one.

CALCULATED CHAOS ...... CALCULATED COLLAPSE ...

friction001 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 18:18:21 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, November 11th 2007 Hello all ... The news is filled at the moment with potential horror stories about the world economy and it all has a very familiar ring. Forget about the nonsense you hear from economists and business news correspondents about the 'economic cycle', it's all run like a military operation. First of all, I should make the point, not that readers of these newsletters need telling, that the economic system is utterly, totally and completely, without any saving grace, insane to the point where nothing less than a padded cell is applicable. Or, at least it would be if its intention was really to serve the interests of the human race and our shared environment. But, given that its entire structure is there to enslave the global population, the apparently insane morphs into the truly brilliant. It may appear to be insane, for example, that a basic human need like a home should be considered an object of economic speculation to the extent that when the value goes up it is welcomed as a good thing and when it goes down it is disastrous. If human need were the priority then keeping the cost of housing down would be the primary goal and, within that, would be a system of not charging interest on loans for main homes. Interest on money is a fraud anyway, because how can you charge people for borrowing what does not actually exist, except in theory? Home loans could be granted in a sane and decent society with just an initial fee for the administration to pay for office and staff expenses and with that the cost of buying a home would plummet overnight with no interest to pay. But that would empower, not enslave, and so it doesn't happen. I have a little flat, which I love, on the Isle of Wight and its value goes up and down with the manipulations of the market. But am I alone in that I am glad when I hear that it is not going up in value? It's true. I consider an increase in property prices to be the last thing we need in the world I want to live in. First of all, what use is the greater value to me when, unless I sell it and rent somewhere, any added value the flat has made will be gone if I buy something similar or bigger because all other properties will have increased in value too?? 'It's wonderful, my house is worth so much more than when I bought it'. Yes, mate, and so is everyone else's. And what about the poor buggers who are trying to buy their first home and those with nowhere to live at all? What tosh it all is, everything's topsy-turvy. What's good for fairness and justice is bad for the economy on every front and it's meant to be that way. When you charge interest on money you create in the very fabric of that system the human debris, or 'economic losers', that we see across the world. The simple fact is this: When banks make a loan they 'create' on their computer screens (put into circulation) the amount of the loan. They do not create the interest that will have to be paid on that loan. This means that there is never enough 'money' in circulation to pay back all the principle and interest on the loans that have been made at every level of global society. Unpayable debt, bankruptcy and economic catastrophe for the victims is built into the system - on purpose. This is how it works: The economy goes up and down as demanded by the elite few who control it. Quite simply, there is a boom when money is poured into circulation and there's a bust when it is taken out. Who controls how much money is in circulation? The banks do by how many loans they decide to make, because the issuing of credit 'loans' (money that has never, does not and will never literally exist) is how the overwhelming majority of what we call 'money' comes into circulation. It may only be theoretical figures on computer screens as I have explained in my books and the newsletter headed 'Money Out Of Nothing' in the website archive. But these figures are used as units of exchange for goods and services and the fewer you have available the fewer goods and services can be bought. When that happens the economy goes on the slide. It's a synch to control this when you have the power to decide how much 'money' you will create and circulate and, through your connected networks in government and the central bank, what interest your borrowers will pay. Lowering interest rates puts more money into circulation to be used to buy goods and services (increase economic activity and job opportunity) and putting interest rates up has the opposite effect because more of the peoples' money goes back to the banks. What is the difference between an economic boom and an economic depression? One thing only - the amount of money in circulation. The banks control this and it allows them to create booms and busts at will. We are now in a time when they want to trigger an enormous economic collapse and that moment is getting closer by the week. It is the same with the stock markets through which these families are moving trillions of dollars a day around the financial and banking system and deciding if they go up or down, soar or crash. Stock market crashes don't just happen, they are made to happen. Why would they do this when they have so much money invested in these markets? Well, if you know the crash is coming because you are going to cause it, you know to sell stocks at the highest point and buy them back once the crash has happened. In this way, you can increase your holdings massively by acquiring companies at a fraction of the cost before your manipulated collapse. The most blatant example of this was Nathan Rothschild during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The situation was simple: if England's Duke of Wellington won the battle the London Stock Exchange would soar, and if Napoleon, the French leader, prevailed it would collapse. The Rothschilds ran an information and espionage operation renowned as the fastest in Europe with an extensive network of contacts that used codes and carrier pigeons to communicate secretly and quickly. This intelligence network would eventually develop into Mossad, the 'Israeli' intelligence arm today, as well as the CIA and the modern version of British intelligence. At the highest level, they are all the same organisation. In 1815, investors at the London Stock Exchange knew the Rothschild intelligence system was better than the British government's, and with the battle raging all eyes were on Nathan Rothschild, the head of the family's London operation, for any sign of what was happening. Had Wellington or Napoleon won? Rothschild gave the signal for his agents to start selling his stocks and everyone else followed believing that Rothschild must know that Wellington had lost. The market collapsed in the panic and people lost fortunes, but not Rothschild. He gave another coded signal to his agents and they began buying the stocks at the knock-down prices before the official news reached London that Wellington had won the battle, a fact that Rothschild had known all along thanks to his communication network. Stock prices exploded and it is estimated that the Rothschilds increased their wealth some twenty times on that one day alone. This is how the manipulation works and it is happening every day all over the world, especially through Wall Street, the City of London and the Far East. They are now using all these techniques to prepare for the economic upheavals that have been long in the planning. We have had a period of 'boom' which has been fuelled by the Illuminati banking cartel keeping interests low and making loans to almost anyone who wants them. When the lender has not fulfilled the criteria for a 'normal' loan through income or credit history they have been able to go to the so-called 'sub-prime' market. These sub-prime loans (for those who don't quality for the 'prime' or normal loan) have been made to customers at higher interest rates - to those who, by their circumstances and history, have a big chance of defaulting. Think about the logic. You can't fulfil the financial criteria to pay back a normal loan at the common interest rate so we are going to make you pay more! Surprise, surprise, large numbers have defaulted and this sub-prime crisis in the United States has been in the news for weeks and put some banks, including Northern Rock in the UK, in serious trouble. But this is the point. We need to see the banking system as a whole because the Illuminati families control all of it. A few banks going under in a manufactured collapse are just a few pawns sacrificed by the kings and queens for the greater agenda of human control. The effect of the sub-prime market bonanza in recent years has been to add massively to the vast amounts of money pouring into circulation to finance a boom period in which people and businesses have had the confidence to borrow more and more money - get themselves into more and more debt - and the elite are preparing to pull the plug. Money is introduced to the world economy as a debt from the start because it is done by issuing credit (figures-on-a-screen 'loans') and so the more money that comes into circulation the more debt is created. Now, stand by for some staggering figures: The total debt in the United States, personal, business and government, now stands at some 50 trillion dollars. As of March this year it was $48 trillion and it has been climbing rapidly since then. That's $161,287 for every man, woman and child in America, a country with a population of more than 300 million. This debt has been increasing by nearly $1.5 billion a day since September 2006. Source: http://mwhodges.home.att.net/nat-debt/debt-nat-a.htm As you can see in this chart, the total American debt is 70 times what it was in 1957 and 72%, or $35 trillion, of today's debt has been created since 1990. You will find a similar story across the world. This has been coldly-calculated by the elite families to create a fantastic economic collapse as part of their Problem-Reaction-Solution technique to transform the world into a centralised dictatorship to 'sort out the mess'. In this way, what is happening economically connects into the 'war on terror', the conflict in Iraq and the planned targeting of Iran, and the scam called carbon-caused global warming. These, and much else, are all designed to create the apparent chaos and subsequent fear that will lead to the 'order', the New World Order', of global centralisation of power economically, militarily and politically. As the motto of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry says: Ordo Ab Chao - 'Order Out Of Chaos': Problem-Reaction-Solution. The entire system is made or broken by confidence. When people are confident in the economic trends they invest and spend. When they are not they do the opposite and without constant increases in investment and spending the cards do fall. And who tells people if they should be confident or not? The elite families who control both the banks and stock markets and the government spokespeople and media. A guy who made his money in the casino called the commodity markets told me that he had noticed that a few days before the head of the Federal Reserve, the privately-owned 'central bank' of the United States, made a statement about the economy the 'big players' always made major stock investments and major sales. Every time, he said, the effect of the statement was to push up what they bought and push down what they sold. Why? Because they were writing the statement. We are now seeing the value of the dollar collapsing and the price of oil going to record levels as part of the calculated assault on the world economy. This is no problem to achieve because by controlling the supply of oil, and events that affect oil supply, and by pulling their trillions out of the dollar while talking down its stability, they decide both the price of oil and the value of the currency. This is highly significant because when oil goes up so does everything else that needs oil to produce, package and transport. The value of a currency also had a massive affect on prices, of course, and what happens when prices go up? People can buy less for the same money and, in practice, it has the same outcome as taking money out of circulation. The house-of-cards economy begins to unravel. For many, many reasons, not just financial, this is a time for people to simplify their lives and get rid of the baggage of all kinds that they don't need, because we're entering the hurricane on so many levels. It is not a time to be in fear, but to be strong, and know that we need to face the challenges that are coming if we're to remove this nonsense from our shared reality. One thing is vital to remember. When it comes to economics and so much else, there are no 'accidents' on the global stage. If it happens, it has been made to happen.

So some of you have already seen this post circulating in some friends' blogs. Yesterday I took the stance that maybe Tribe.net should just die, seeing as how keeping it alive just seemed like prolonging the inevitable. But this morning I played around with some numbers and realized that, not only would subscriptions make it possible to keep Tribe.net going--but if it was done carefully--it could vastly improve and keep evolving over time. By taking judicious advantage of certain useful features developed for other social networking platforms, the Bohemian community that is Tribe.net could also leverage these advancements and put them to good use. In fact, I'm thinking that I'd really like to be involved in that process... Tribe.net is the backbone of our community, after all. And it's good to have a strong, healthy backbone, you know? Please vote yay or nay--and if you care to, please repost this to your own blog and submit the results to Pi [ people.tribe.net/pi ] on Saturday, November 17th... ****** The word in some of the admin tribes is that Tribe.net is in serious financial peril. Peril that may make this site go away. Most of us belong to MySpace and/or Bebo and/or Facebook, yet we return to Tribe because it is what serves us best.

THE DIGITAL FANTASY ...... HOW THEY CAN MAKE 'BIN LADEN' SAY WHATEVER THEY LIKE

friction001 — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 05:43:51 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, September 16th 2007 Hello all ... One of the most effective forms of mass manipulation is to have access to technological possibility that is way ahead of anything the public ever sees. This way, you can make things happen to implant false beliefs about world events while the people don't think for a second that anything underhand is being put before them. Even when someone explains that the 'Bin Laden' broadcasts are a digital/audio construct and not the real 'him' they are widely met with laughter and dismissal because the sceptics do not understand what is possible. People see what they believe they see or, more to the point, what they are told they see. If they are unaware of the potential for manipulating what they see then when they are told they are looking at Osama bin Laden making 'new' threats to the world this becomes their unquestioned reality. 'It must be true, I saw him with my own eyes.' But, of course, we don't see with our eyes, we see with our brain when it has decoded electrical signals from the optical system into an illusory holographic reality. If you can intervene in this decoding process you can make the brains of the population see what you want them to see - or not see. It is a form of mass hypnotism. You give them one thing, but tell them repeatedly through the pathetic, unquestioning media that they are seeing something else, in this case 'Bin Laden's' latest statements. Technology that exists outside the public arena, developed in the underground bases and secret research projects, is decades - at least - ahead of what we know about. It involves mind-control, the manipulation of magnetic fields and whole host of other possibilities that the public would file under science fiction. But, to be fair, we really should be more streetwise about what is possible with anything to do with audio/visual techniques because what is possible is put before us in the movies all the time. Okay, the secret technology may be ahead even of that, but what we can see on the cinema screen alone is enough to produce a 'Bin Laden video'. I was amazed when I saw the first Stuart Little movies to see how authentically animals, especially cats in this case, could be made to speak. As one review said: 'The animation of Stuart is pretty ... fantastic. I sat there the whole time trying to see his flaws, and there are a few. But overall, it's the best damn representation of a mouse I've ever seen. He looks like an honest-to-God emotive and talking rodent. Even his little eyes take shape when he cries or gets happy.' We now have endless examples of how people long dead can be inserted into modern movies and apparently interact with living actors. Forrest Gump is a great example. They were able to have the Forrest Gump character, played by Tom Hanks, shake hands with President Kennedy and even have Kennedy speak to him. This was done by 'mixing' the old footage of JFK with that of an actor called Jed Gillin. The image of Gillin was replaced by computer with the image of President Kennedy, but the lips and part of the cheeks and jaw of Gillin remained in the final 'Kennedy' sequence below to allow the President to say words he didn't actually speak. This was all done in the early 1990s and so think how technological possibility has moved on since then, even without the developments in the unofficial projects. Making a 'Bin Laden' video becomes child's play. As an article on 'virtual actors' said: 'After millions of years of natural selection, human beings have some serious competition for their lofty perch on the evolutionary ladder - and the challenger has only been evolving for less than a decade. Some computer artists contend that anything we can do, "virtual humans" can do better, and they're poised to revolutionize moviemaking with a new species that doesn't require an astronomical salary, works around the clock without complaint, and lives quietly on a hard drive between death-defying stunts. 'A generation of computer-generated characters, called "synthespians" or "vactors", are attracting notice in Hollywood. Some insiders envision a future when digital stars compete for roles with the flesh-and-blood variety. While a photoreal digital actor has yet to carry a major motion picture, synthespians have captured supporting roles for some time now, whenever the going gets too tough or too expensive. 'Synthespians serve as doubles for breathtaking stunts too dangerous for mortal stars: a girl leaping from a skyscraper in "The Fifth Element," Sylvester Stallone chasing through the skies on an airborne motorcycle in "Judge Dredd," and a luckless attorney becoming tyrannosaur fodder in "Jurassic Park". And producers cut costs on the "cast of thousands" by using digital extras to stand in for the legions of troops in "Hamlet", mobs of Washington demonstrators in "Forrest Gump", and passengers aboard the doomed Titanic.' It is vital that we know what is possible in terms of manipulating voices and images if we are going to see through the manufactured 'tapes' that are put before us as genuine. I found a face animation on YouTube produced through something called a Face Motion Capture system. This is not even at the cutting edge of this technology, but you can see how people can be tricked into believing they are seeing someone when they are watching something. In the Bin Laden examples, his beard makes it even easier because it obscures lip movement. There's no need to watch the whole of this sequence, just a few seconds will make it clear how far even the public arena development has gone. Click here to watch ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGabt1IRwCE&mode=related&search= In 2006, Pendulum Studios, a San Diego-based 3D production house, produced a demonstration of their digital animation with a computer-generated 'Mark Antony' making a famous speech from Shakespeare and here is a simple explanation of what the computer-generators can do with just a single image of a face. Keep thinking 'Bin Laden' as you watch and the scam becomes clear. Click here to see ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nice6NYb_WA The voice is no longer a problem, either. This week the Washington Post ran an article under the headline 'When Seeing and Hearing Isn't Believing'. It was based upon the development of voice recognition techniques at the deeply sinister Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It is in such, largely underground, facilities that image and voice manipulation has reached levels way beyond even the clips you saw earlier. It is in these establishments that 'Bin Laden' videos and their like are produced. Los Alamos ... the real deal goes on underground The Post reported that the Los Alamos boffins, led by scientist George Papcun, had taken a ten-minute recording of the voice of General Carl W. Steiner, former Commander-in-chief, U.S. Special Operations Command, and made it say whatever they liked through a technique known as 'voice morphing'. As the Post said: 'Whereas early voice morphing required cutting and pasting speech to put letters or words together to make a composite, Papcun's software developed at Los Alamos can far more accurately replicate the way one actually speaks. Eliminated are the robotic intonations.' Apparently, they had the voice of General Steiner say: 'Gentlemen! We have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government'. Steiner was so impressed, he asked for a copy. They have done the same with the voices of many military top brass and they even had former Secretary of State Colin Powell 'saying': 'I am being treated well by my captors'. Think of the implications of that with people alleged to have been kidnapped by 'terrorists'. The Post was partly right when it said of such potential to deceive: 'For Hollywood, it is special effects. For covert operators in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies, it is a weapon of the future'. Except that it not 'of the future' at all. It is of the now. It has been used to produce 'Bin Laden' statements whenever it suits the Illuminati agenda to frighten the people into allowing their freedoms to be demolished or supporting the 'war on [of] terror' A 'Bin Laden' appearance this week before the sixth anniversary of 9/11 was a gimme. 'We need a Bin Laden video, Chuck, give Alamos a call will you?' This takes us into even stranger territory, or strange if you are new to the conspiracy or its true breadth and depth. It became public that when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 the Pentagon was planning to create a computer-manipulated Saddam Hussein showing weakness, crying and in a sexual situation. Daniel T. Kuehl, chairman of the Information Operations department of the National Defense University in Washington, the military's school for information warfare, said: 'Once you can take any kind of information and reduce it into ones and zeros, you can do some pretty interesting things.' So what 'things' exactly? Think fake videos, yes, of course; but also fake phone calls from 9/11 aircraft, fake statements from world leaders and others, and fake scenes from 'the front' or anywhere else in the world. In George Orwell's 1984, Big Brother could feed the people propaganda about the 'terrorist' Emanuel Goldstein, but now he can put him on the screen to speak to millions with words digitally implanted from a mouth digitally animated. The manipulation of reality goes still further with holographic technology that can project scenes in the sky of religious deities, UFOs or even 'alien battles'. This is connected to Project Blue Beam, a long-standing plan to make religious heroes holographically 'appear' to their followers and basically tell them what to do. The Washington Post said it has confirmed that a super secret program was established in 1994 to pursue this hologram agenda. The 'Holographic Projector' was described in a classified Air Force document as a system to 'project information power from space ... for special operations deception missions', the Post reported. It went on: 'Video and photo manipulation has already raised profound questions of authenticity for the journalistic world. With audio joining the mix, it is not only journalists but also privacy advocates and the conspiracy-minded who will no doubt ponder the worrisome mischief that lurks in the not too distant future.' The truth is that it's already happening. But across the media, this one Post article apart, they cannot even comprehend that the authorities claiming to protect people from Bin Laden could actually be producing the videos broadcast in his name. It is too much for 95% of 'journalists' to even contemplate and the same for the lower-level gofers who do the bidding of the shadow people in ignorance of who their true masters really are. So while another fake video hit the airwaves this week, the discussion centred not on its origins, but on 'Bin Laden's' suddenly black beard. Republican Senator Norm Coleman asked Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell during Congressional hearings about the beard. 'Is it a signal?', Coleman demanded to know, that Bin Laden was using to send a message to his Al-Qaeda members. I kid you not, that is what he said. Maybe Bin Laden wants his followers to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. Arrest Johnny Depp, I say. But spy chief McConnell was in no doubt that the beard was a legitimate source for debate: 'The big question in the community this morning, "Is that beard real," because as you know, just a few years ago, the last time he appeared, it was very different. So we don't know if it's dyed and trimmed or real, but that's one of the things we're looking at.' Not a word about whether the tape was a fake, only the colour of his beard. I can help them there - ask the computer guy why he made it black, mystery solved. But the classic of the week with regard to the latest 'Bin Laden tape' came from the UK's Guardian 'newspaper' when reporting the assertion by Cuba's Fidel Castro that the United States government is lying about what really happened on 9/11 and who did it. The Guardian could see a flaw in his claims immediately. I quote: '... in a glaring omission, Mr Castro's conspiracy theory failed to mention Osama bin Laden, who this week issued a video praising one of the hijackers who crashed into the World Trade Centre, and his militant Islamist al-Qaida network.' Such is the power of illusion when mixed with the arrogance, naivety and ignorance which pervades the entire mainstream media. We have to get informed ourselves if we want to see through the smoke and mirrors that are constantly set before us and lesson number one is now blatantly obvious: What you see and hear may only be what you think you see and hear.

FOOD ADDITIVES ...... THE TICKING TIME BOMB

friction001 — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 08:04:52 GMT

David Icke Newsletter, September 9th 2007 Hello all ... One of the few negatives about having an open and inquiring mind is the frustration at seeing the obvious while those in authority peer at the elephant on the couch and claim to see only cushions and upholstery. Sometimes the obvious is dismissed with cold calculation by those who know the truth, but don't want the public to know. Mostly, within the lower ranks of the dark suit hierarchy, they are just parrots for the line they are instructed to take. You see this in the stream of PR spokespeople wheeled out to peddle government or corporate denials that their actions or products are harming the population. They are mobile mouths whose job is to take the obvious and spin the facts until the water is swirling with mud. You sometimes see them representing the interests of, say, the alcohol industry, and then a year or so later they turn up on the screen again as official apologists for something completely different. It matters not to them because it's just a job with a pay check in the post - and their job is to lie for money. This week the PRs for the food cartel have been squirming their way around the TV studios trying to mitigate the effects on sales of a report funded by the UK Food Standards Agency that found that chemical food additives have significant effects on the behaviour of children. In my books, and many and various publications and studies outside the mainstream, this has been stated for years. In fact, I was talking about this very subject back in the 1980s when I was a national spokesman for the British Green Party. I had seen the effect of Coca Cola on my then young son Gareth. On the odd occasion he would drink the stuff he became immediately hyper. We even concocted a drink for him that we called 'special Coke' that looked the same, but didn't contain the crap. Some people who also saw the connection between additives and their children's behaviour have been campaigning for more than 30 years to highlight these effects and, like all those who challenge orthodoxy, they have been branded 'crazy', 'extreme' and 'paranoid'. So the findings of this week's Southampton University study for the Food Standards Agency was merely 'revealing' what anyone with a modicum of brain activity had understood for decades. It gave a massively understated, but still welcome, explanation for what these chemical cocktails do to the minds of children (and adults if the truth really be told). The study, published in the medical journal, The Lancet, involved 153 three-year-olds and 144 eight-year-olds who were given drinks containing either additives or a placebo. The additives were combinations of the colourings sunset yellow (E110), tartrazine (E102), carmoisine (E122) ponceau 4R (E124), allura red (E129), quinoline yellow (E104), and the preservative sodium benzoate (E211). The latter can be found in soft drinks like Dr Pepper, Fanta, Sprite and Pepsi Max. Afterwards, some children were watched by trained observers, parents and teachers while others were given computer hyperactivity tests. The conclusions were summed up by the study leader, Professor Jim Stevenson: 'The present findings, in combination with the replicated evidence for the artificial food colour and additives effects on the behaviour of three-year-old children, lent strong support for the case that food additives exacerbate hyperactive behaviours.' In short, the study cost £750,000 of taxpayers' money to tell us that the massive grey thing with the big ears and long nose is indeed an elephant. The study found that, on average, the children who were given additives in these experiments produced some ten per cent of the symptoms of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - even from the relatively small amounts they consumed. This when, according to a report first published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine in 1994, about 75 per cent of the Western diet is made up of processed foods, each person consuming an average of between eight and ten pounds of food additives per year, some considerably more. So this week's Food Standards Agency study was akin to finding a hurricane and reporting a westerly breeze. What we actually have on our hands here is a gathering catastrophe of unimaginable proportions as the brain-poisoned children of today become the adults of not long from now. The effect of this corporate child abuse is cumulative and with daily repetition has the potential to do permanent damage to the mental and emotional state of the population. It is sobering to read the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine background to child hyperactive disorders and their short and long-term effects given that every time we feed our children this chemical crap we are making it more like that these affects will occur: * Retrospective studies have shown that children diagnosed as hyperactive as an infant suffered considerably more from varied health/ behavioural problems than non-hyperactives. For example, a research database on 357 hyperactive children, based at Surrey University, showed that 82% of them were already extremely restless as an infant, 61% suffered from poor and irregular sleep patterns, 75% displayed excessive crying or screaming, 52% rejected any contact or affection, 50% were poor feeders, 74% seemed to have an exaggerated thirst and 67% suffered from colic. * Hyperactive toddlers are described as children who never walk but run, are incapable of playing with any object for more than a few seconds, and who combine unnaturally impulsive behaviour with a complete lack of any apprehension or fear. When at school, these children are usually extremely restless, inattentive, distractible and frequently display aggressive and anti-social tendencies. * Primarily because of these behavioural problems, their academic school performance is generally poor and failed school grades are not uncommon. In fact, follow-up studies of young adolescents diagnosed as hyperactives when children have shown, when compared to controls, a significantly higher drop-out and expulsion rate from schools, a greater involvement in both drug and alcohol abuse, a higher rate of motor vehicle accidents, a greater risk of developing criminal tendencies, as well as appearing before courts. * One follow up study on 64 adolescents, diagnosed as hyperactive when children, showed that when they reached the ages of 17 to 25 years, 25% of them were still engaged in antisocial and delinquent behaviour. Similar findings have also been observed by other investigators. * In short, the prognosis of hyperactive children, when they mature into adulthood, seems to be relatively poor. Despite an apparent decrease in their ratings of hyperactivity over the years, as adolescents and adults they still seem to continue to use impulsive rather than reflective approaches to cognitive tasks, are still distractible, generally emotionally immature, have a poor self-image and are frequently unable to maintain goals. Five years ago the United Nations agencies declared that up to one in five of the world's children was suffering from mental or behavioural problems and this, they said, would lead to serious public health consequences in the future unless more was done to address the issue. Depressive disorders were the fourth leading cause of disease and disability and were predicted to rise to second place by 2020. Yes, of course, there are many causes for this in the insane world we have created, but let us not for a second underestimate the contribution made by the chemical cocktails children consume in what bravely passes for food and drink - and the same with the violent behaviour of some young people. How ironic that giving children sweets and soft drinks is considered an act of kindness when these 'treats' are systematically poisoning them in mind and body. And we hear constantly about the dangers of young people getting hooked on drugs when they are being legally drugged by the day through what they eat and drink. It is only a matter of degree. What is a drug? A cocktail of chemicals. What is in corporate food products? Exactly. Food and drink additives are a highly significant contribution to the war on the human body-computer. There are many access codes - vibrational, electrical and chemical. They're all vibrational fields in the end, but they take different forms. Everything is an expression of everything else, so a chemical will affect the body vibrationally and a vibrational/electrical field can affect the body's chemical balance. This means that when the body is destabilised chemically it disrupts the electrical systems which, in this reality, affect thought and emotion. That's a given when you see how people are constantly imbalanced mentally and emotionally by medical and other drugs. The body itself has the ability to think and express emotion and our Infinite Awareness communicates with this reality through the body's electrical systems. If the body is chemically imbalanced the electrical communication short-circuits with the endless consequences that we see in medical and psychiatric hospitals and makes it far more difficult for our Infinite Awareness to express itself through the body-computer. That's the idea behind it all at the level of the Shadow People. They want to destabilise the body-computer in every way they can to stop people connecting to states of awareness that can open their minds to their plight and their true and infinite nature. A common theme in chemical food and drink additives, the poisons used in the crop growing and animal production processes, medical drugs and vaccines is their effect on genetics and brain activity. This is what you would expect when suppressing body and brain function is what this is all about. They hide this agenda by announcing false causes for diseases and complaints that their poisons are really responsible for. An example is sun tan lotion. We are told that skin cancer is caused by too much exposure to the Sun when the main cause is the chemicals in sun block. This campaign to confuse is peopled by an army of corporate PRs, government spokesmen and 'health experts', all pay-rolled to deny what an idiot can see. They use every diversion and scam as they bob and weave to stop the truth landing a punch and they avoid at all costs a branch of medicine known as epidemiology. To them it is spelt d..i..s..a..s..t..e..r. Epidemiology derives from the Greek and means 'the study of what is upon the people'. It observes the population, often by using statistical evidence, to identify health problems and their causes. For example, it would look at the correlation between the introduction and expansion of food additives against the changes in the mental and physical health of the people who consume them. Epidemiological studies have shown a clear connection between the two that cannot be denied, only obscured by PR speak and the pig-trough 'scientists' and 'doctors' who will insist that black is white so long as the corporate suit has arrived with the readies. But epidemiological studies of our own by the general population - better known as personal experience - are making life an increasing nightmare for the men and women from Bullshitville. 'Don't tell me there is no effect when little Johnnie goes crazy after the second swig.' We need to take that a stage further and stop buying this trash just because it makes life easier or our children are addicted to demand it. If they demanded the poison bottle would we reach for the top shelf? Of course not, so why do we do it in the shopping aisle? The additives that scramble our children's minds are only there as a sales gimmick to make the product look more colourful or trick the brain into decoding more taste than is really there. The corporations couldn't give a damn about children or the mayhem they are causing and stoking up for the future. Mr. Bottom Line is the governor of everything. Government agencies that supposed to protect the population are invariably in league with, or far too close to, the industries they are meant to be regulating. This explains the pathetic response by the Food Standards Agency this week to its own report. Is it going to ban additives in food now it has found how harmful they are? Er, no. Parents should just be careful about what they give their children to eat, it said, doffing its cap to Mr. McDonald. The responsibility always falls on the victims of corporate chicanery while the culprits are allowed to continue on their wicked way. The public is now being threatened with higher bills and even prosecution with regard to the disposal of household waste when the vast majority of this comes from the ludicrous levels of packaging used by the corporations to sell their products to the eye. While the people are targeted over the symptom of this problem, those who are the cause go on unchallenged. 'Twas always so. So it's down to us to sort out this mess by refusing to buy the crap whenever we can. The body-computer can handle this stuff in here and there doses, but we are now being overwhelmed by the cascade of chemicals in the mass produced 'food' spewing from the Frankenstein factories. The corporate food and drink cartel, controlled by the Illuminati families, is systematically poisoning the people (posting a virus in the body-computer) and to this end they have created a problem and offered (for sale) the solution. The problem is the ever-more hectic pace of life that people are pressured to lead, chasing clocks that appear to be moving with a quickening pace. The solution is ready meals, fast food and poison-on-demand. You don't have time to prepare food that won't poison your body and mind? Don't worry, we'll make the poison taste just great - your kids will love it. Shhhhhhhhhhh! What's that I hear? There it is again. Can you hear it? It's getting louder all the time ... ... Tick, tick, tick, tick ....

THE SUPERMARKET MAFIA ...

friction001 — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 18:27:39 GMT

Hello all, I can remember the first supermarket coming to my home town when I was a kid, so that would have been nearly 50 years ago. It was the 'new thing' in a new world of corporate control that emerged ever more rapidly in the post-war years. Before that, you shopped locally at little stores among familiar faces. 'Your usual, Mrs. Smith? How are you today? How's the family?' Much of the produce was still grown within a few miles and did not require chemical preservatives to survive the vast distances that it must travel today in massive trucks on the massive roads that centralisation of production and distribution by necessity demands. Shopping, like most daily experience, was human scale with human contact. You were still a person, not a number, or, as today, a 'consumer'. We must protect the 'consumer' I hear the dark suits say. The 'consumer' wants this, the 'consumer' wants that. In fact, the 'consumer' is told what it wants, hypnotised into compliance via conscious and subconscious advertising, much of it subliminal, and the manipulation of its perception and reality. The stores themselves are laid out in line with endless 'market research' to establish the most efficient ways to part the 'consumer' from its money. Seventy per cent of supermarket purchases are decided after the 'consumer' has entered the store and often bear little resemblance to the list it made in the kitchen before it left. Such is the power of mind control, for that is what it is. Blatant and merciless. 'I only came in for a bottle of milk ...' I use the term 'it' with regard to the 'consumer', because that is what we are to the corporate beast - an 'it', a thing, a card-carrying black hole to suck its products from the shelves and hurry back for more. You consume, therefore you are. We are simply there to be mentally, emotionally, and, therefore, financially raped by the insatiable monsters the supermarkets have become all over the world. To study their grotesque activities is to see the entire global system in microcosm. The supermarkets, and their even more gluttonous offspring, the 'megastores', tick every box. They present themselves as the kind, gentle uncle, rocking back and forth on the chair in the porch, smiling benevolently. He's such a lovely man who cares so much for everyone and everything. He brings you 'quality you can trust', he 'respects and protects wildlife', his 'daily deliveries ensure freshness', and his only reason for being is to serve you and your family. He even cuts his prices to the bone because he only wants to help. You know all this because there are signs all over his friendly little superstore in every little neighbourhood telling you that this is who and what he is. Don't worry, the Inc. is really an Unc. Even the celebrities of stage and screen love him so much that they take his megabucks to suck on uncle's phallus and tell us all how good it was. 'Every little helps', the celebrity whores parrot as they sell their soul to deliver the catchphrase of Tesco, the All-Mighty God of British shopping. Good old Uncle Tesco, good old Uncle Wal-Mart. Oh, how we love you, you kindly, cuddly old gents. The truth is rather different. The supermarket chains - ultimately 'chain' - are as much a Mafia as anything you will find in Sicily or New York. They employ hitmen and bully boys to enforce their will and millions of families live in daily fear from their brutal intimidation. These families are called 'suppliers' and where the Italian Mafia use the knife and the gun, the supermarkets employ the phone, the fax and the email and an army of macho and masochistic thugs known as 'buyers'. They are professional bullies hired by Uncle to turn farming into slavery. 'I came for the job as a buyer.' 'Do you have a heart?' 'What's that?' 'When can you start?' These men from Uncle are usually in their 20s and early 30s. They're powered by testosterone and often know little about the products they buy or what it takes to produce them. They care even less. Their god is called 'Bottom Line' and to them there is nothing else, no sense of fairness, justice, morality or humanity. Having any one of those values would be a fatal career move. Tesco talks about being 'committed to maintaining strong mutually advantageous relationships with our suppliers'. Asda, owned by Wal-Mart, claims to believe in 'good relationships, which we work to improve all the time'. Another of Britain's 'Big Four', Sainsbury's, says it is 'very proud of the good relationships we have with our suppliers'. All bullshit, of course. These people are protection racketeers. They protect and advance their 'market share' by squeezing their suppliers until the pips squeak. This is key to the global system as a whole. To control it you need a monopoly, not the free market you claim to expound and represent. 'We are showing that competition brings down prices - it's just the free market at work.' If only it were. The whole Satanic edifice is built on rampant exploitation - of customers, suppliers and staff. The supermarket giants prosper on the principle of pile 'em high and sell 'em fast' and their biggest 'sell' is price. They 'compete' within what is actually a cartel by selling at the lowest prices, but not at their own expense, oh no. The price cutting comes courtesy of squeezing their suppliers dry, manipulating their customers to buy more than they want or need, and screwing their staff in terms of fair wages and conditions. That way everyone is exploited except them and this is how cutting prices leads to incredible profits. They sell enormous numbers of products at a staggering rate to produce the billions they make every year. In 2006, Wal-Mart had sales of $345 billion from its 6,779 stores in 13 countries. Together, the sales and profits of the leading chains are beyond belief. The sheer scale of their buying power has allowed them to undercut the local stores that preceded them and increasingly their smaller corporate rivals. This has led to the opposite of 'competition' and the 'free market'. It has led to monopoly by the few - the very situation that the shadow people behind the Orwellian global state wish to impose in every area of life. One British supplier described how he had once negotiated with some 45 different retailers, independent shops, wholesalers and markets. Now he was left with just four supermarket giants. He is now, by design, at their mercy and if he doesn't break the Olympic record when they say 'jump', he has no business. This is where the whole system is being manipulated to go. Much of it is already there. It means that 'Uncle' can do what he likes - and he does. Farmers and other suppliers are forced to the bone by the prices the supermarkets are prepared to pay and 'no' is never an answer. Nor do they deal in long-term contacts with the suppliers, often they have no contract at all, just a word of mouth or an email. This gives the supermarket Mafia the ability to drop people whenever they like with no comeback whatsoever. Another destroyed business, another destitute family, who gives a shit? This growers experience is typical: 'We had planted 20 acres of beetroot. We had lifted half of it, when suddenly the chain decided to stop selling this beetroot line. Just like that, we got a phone call saying the chain couldn't take any more beetroot. They had given us a programme for 12 months but we had nothing in writing. All because the buyer, a 25-year-old lad, had decided not to stock it. What are you meant to do with 10 acres of beetroot all of a sudden?' They couldn't care less, mate. Another supplier was told that his Brussel sprouts were being rejected on the grounds of quality while he was still digging them up. They had never even seen them, but what they decree is what happens, no matter what the facts are or the injustice may be. Not only do they employ buyers for their lack of morality and fair play, they make sure they never work in one product area for very long so they don't have time to make relationships with suppliers that might possibly trigger some humanity by understanding the plight of their victims. A supplier told an official investigation into supermarket activities: 'Multiples switch their buyers around every six to 12 months in order that relationships and loyalty to suppliers can be avoided. The new buyer is given carte blanche to de-list suppliers, who are frequently treated with complete contempt.' Another supplier described the buying teams as 'just a bunch of thugs', a common description, and, like all dictators, no-one is allowed to challenge their will. Richard Haddock, a British beef farmer, described how he stood up at a supermarket producers' meeting to list his bad experiences of working with supermarkets and shortly afterwards he was told they could no longer use him as a source of beef. 'Because I had spoken out publicly, they couldn't take my meat any more', he said. A supermarket supplier negotiates the price As a result of the pressure from supermarkets to supply for basically no profit, the farming industry in Britain and elsewhere is in desperate straits and, with other potential markets already destroyed by the monopolies, they wait every day in fear of the phone call or email either dropping them or demanding more cuts in prices that will finally send them out of business anyway. Indeed, it goes even further. If these bullying buyers are not meeting their cost targets as the financial year approaches, they will demand that farmers give retrospective discounts on goods already long sold in the supermarkets. If they don't, they're fired. In the face of these monumental pressures, suicide rates among farmers are running at extraordinary and record levels. Good old Uncle Tesco, good old Uncle Wal-Mart. As one writer put it: 'Supermarkets like to portray themselves as the ultimate proponents of dynamic free-market capitalism. But these days they bear more resemblance to the feudal barons of medieval times, ruthlessly abusing their monopolistic power and turning their suppliers into little more than vassals.' The consequences of all this for freedom and wellbeing are fantastic. It means that a few corporations control the global food chain from plough to plate, as they do with all the other commodities and resources. Farmers and other suppliers in the world's poorest countries are treated with the same ruthless inhumanity as those in the 'west', in fact even more so. Most of their lands are owned by the corporations, anyway, just as the banks are the real owners of most European and North American farms that have still eluded the other transnationals. And the banks are ultimately owned by the same people who own or control the food, oil, pharmaceutical, bio-tech and media corporations. The trash about 'free trade' and the 'free market' is just a smokescreen for unfettered monopoly and an excuse to stop countries and people defending themselves from such monopoly. The supermarket monsters are fakes and frauds at every turn. They centralise distribution so that thousands of articulated trucks are needed to crisscross countries on ever-expanding road systems funded by the taxpayers that they shaft at the checkout. They have replaced shops that you could walk to with vast centralised stores outside of towns and cities that you need a car visit. Their very structure and mode of operation has generated pollution on an immense scale. Yet they claim to be 'caring for the environment' because they sell you a plastic 'bag for life' with a few extra points on your loyalty card if you use it more than once. The supermarkets are criminal syndicates, Al Capones with a shopping trolley, and they are truly children of the Orwellian state. Their loyalty cards and other databases log and analyse your every purchase to produce a 'consumer profile' designed to target you with products they believe you might buy - even if you had never thought of it yourself. This includes noting which shopping aisles you never or rarely visit and sending you details of what you are not buying there. How appropriate that when the UK government wanted advice on its planned identity card system it turned to ... Tesco. Not content with destroying the competition in food, they are now moving into all areas of retailing. Independent bookshops are going out of business because they can't compete with the buying power, and therefore the selling price, of the supermarket dictatorships. It is the same with all the independent businesses that sell what the supermarkets do. You name it, the supermarkets probably sell it, or soon will, and the suppliers get the price they are told they will get. The Führer has spoken, now salute and be grateful. You will sell it to someone else? Er, there is no someone else, remember? And what will happen to prices for 'consumers' once all significant competition has been vanquished? At that point the consumer will become the new supplier. 'You don't want to pay that price, well go somewhere else then. Oh, I forgot, there is nowhere else, heh, heh'. The natural outcome of this corporate greed, gluttony and sickness of the mind can now be seen in the UK as Tesco buy out what are left of the small local shops to impose their 'Tesco Express' chain where once individual people ran individual stores with their own individual shop fronts. Tesco's gawdy 'corporate image' can be seen in picture postcard locations to spoil the feel and individuality of once unique streets that had held back the tide of corporate Nazism until now. Oh yes, local people protest and local councils tell them to remove the corporate imaging until they have received planning permission, but whether they do or not is related to the level of adverse publicity that the protests attract. Image is all to Tesco, as it is to all frauds. Local authorities are often loathe to take on Uncle Tesco, that friendly old guy with the AK 47. Tesco has far more money than they could ever muster and an army of corporate lawyers who will keep the case in the legal process for years. Add to this the fact that Tesco and their like have governments in the back pocket and what Tesco wants, Tesco invariably gets. As they might say of corporate corruption and greed: 'Every little helps'.

FBI Declares Lack of Evidence to Connect Bin Laden to 9/11

friction001 — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 04:07:18 GMT

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Despite all hues and cries by the US officials and media as well as those of the west that the Al-Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden are the most wanted people for their direct role in September 11th terrorist attacks, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says that it has no evidence in this regard, raising more suspicion over all the speculations the US tried to forge in the world public opinion. What follows is an article by American researcher and citizen Ed Haas, proving that the US has sought to misuse the occasion for indicting the world of Islam for belligerency and hostile attitudes based on no substantiating evidence. This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Osama Bin Laden. In the e-mail, the question is asked, "Why doesn't Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?" The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Osama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for "wanting" Bin Laden by saying, "In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world." On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Osama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11." Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, "How this was possible?" Tomb continued, "Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11." I asked, "How does that work?" Tomb continued, "The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11." It shouldn't take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to prick your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to "smoke him out of his cave?" The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to "root out" Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Osama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. Next is the Bin Laden "confession" video that was released by the U.S. government on December 13, 2001. Most Americans remember this video. It was the video showing Bin Laden with a few of his comrades recounting with delight the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. The Department of Defense issued a press release to accompany this video in which Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said, "There was no doubt of bin Laden's responsibility for the September 11 attacks before the tape was discovered." What Rumsfeld implied by his statement was that Bin Laden was the known mastermind behind 9/11 even before the "confession video" and that the video simply served to confirm what the U.S. government already knew; that Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. In a BBC News article reporting on the "9/11 confession video" release, President Bush is said to have been hesitant to release the tape because he knew it would be a vivid reminder to many people of their loss. But, he also knew it would be "a devastating declaration" of Bin Laden's guilt. "We're going to get him," said President Bush. "Dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me." In a CNN article regarding the Bin Laden tape, then New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that "the tape removes any doubt that the U.S. military campaign targeting bin Laden and his associates is more than justified." Senator Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said, "The tape's release is central to informing people in the outside world who don't believe bin Laden was involved in the September 11 attacks." Shelby went on to say "I don't know how they can be in denial after they see this tape." Well Senator Shelby, apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation isn't convinced by the taped confession, so why are you? The Muckraker Report attempted to secure a reference to the U.S. government authenticating the Bin Laden "confession video", to no avail. However, it is conclusive that the Bush Administration and U.S. Congress, along with the dead stream media, played the video as if it was authentic. So why doesn't the FBI view the "confession video" as hard evidence? After all, if the FBI is investigating a crime such as drug trafficking, and it discovers a video of members of a drug cartel opening talking about a successful distribution operation in the United States, that video would be presented to a federal grand jury. The identified participants of the video would be indicted, and if captured, the video alone would serve as sufficient evidence to net a conviction in a federal court. So why is the Bin Laden "confession video" not carrying the same weight with the FBI? Remember, on June 5, 2006, FBI spokesman, Chief of Investigative Publicity Rex Tomb said, "The FBI has no hard evidence connecting Osama Bin Laden to 9/11." This should be headline news worldwide. The challenge to the reader is to find out why it is not. Why has the U.S. media blindly read the government-provided 9/11 scripts, rather than investigate without passion, prejudice, or bias, the events of September 11, 2001? Why has the U.S. media blacklisted any guest that might speak of a government sponsored 9/11 cover-up, rather than seeking out those people who have something to say about 9/11 that is contrary to the government's account? And on those few rare occasions when a 9/11 dissenter has made it upon the airways, why has the mainstream media ridiculed the guest as a conspiracy nut, rather than listen to the evidence that clearly raises valid questions about the government's 9/11 account? Why is the Big Media Conglomeration blindly content with the government's 9/11 story when so much verifiable information to the contrary is available with a few clicks of a computer mouse? Who is it that is controlling the media message, and how is it that the U.S. media has indicted Osama Bin Laden for the events of September 11, 2001, but the U.S. government has not? How is it that the FBI has no "hard evidence" connecting Osama Bin Laden to the events of September 11, 2001, while the U.S. media has played the Bin Laden - 9/11 connection story for five years now as if it had conclusive evidence that Bin Laden was responsible for the collapse of the twin towers, the Pentagon attack, and the demise of United Flight 93?

ELECTROMAGNETIC SMOG ...... AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY?

friction001 — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 15:30:39 GMT

Hello all ... The picture above illustrates the 'seen' pollution within the worst of our industrial cities, but the unseen pollution is even more potentially lethal, both for health and the ability to connect beyond this reality. If you imagine the pollution in the picture to be an electromagnetic field, or a mass of different ones from countless sources, you will get an idea for the energetic environment that we are increasingly living in. Technology is spewing out electromagnetism on a scale that increases by the day and it is forming a 'soup' that has many calculated effects on the population. Obviously, some are more sensitive than others to these electromagnetic fields, but as the 'soup' increases and becomes still more dense, what is profoundly affecting the most electro-sensitive today will have the same affect on more and more people. Those who are now called 'electrically hypersensitive', or EHS, suffer many health, mental and emotional problems when they come into contact with electromagnetic fields. These include skin itching, rashes, flushing, burning and tingling; confusion, poor concentration and loss of memory; fatigue and weakness; headaches; chest pain and heart problems. Add to these symptoms other effects like nausea, panic attacks, insomnia, seizures, ear pain and ringing in the ears, paralysis and dizziness. These are caused by human-created electromagnetic fields interfering with the balance and harmony of the body's electromagnetic field and its electrical communication systems. Through something called 'entrainment' powerful electrical fields and broadcast frequencies can also synchronise with the brain/body 'electrics' and change the frequency on which they operate. Such 'entrainment' can thus cause physical, mental and emotional mayhem. The sources of disruption are many and various and increase by the week. They include mobile phones and their masts, other communication systems like TETRA, used by UK emergency services and operating within the range of human brain activity, the wireless Internet and other technologies. All this is not happening at this time by accident. There is a vibrational change going on that is having the effect of waking people up on an ever-greater scale from their induced amnesia. The aim of the electromagnetic technology in all its many forms (plus those we don't even know about) is to create an electromagnetic 'soup' to suppress the effect on human awareness of the vibrational change we are experiencing. In May 2006, the London Observer reported the growing concern about what it called the 'invisible smog' that has been created by the 'electricity that powers our civilisation'. It said that new scientific evidence showed that this was 'giving children cancer, causing miscarriages and suicides and making some people allergic to modern life'. But of course that must be the case. At the body/brain level we are electromagnetic fields and when these are exposed to other fields, especially a sea of them, we are bound to be affected by disharmony - dis-ease - in all its potential forms. The World Heath Organisation says that the electromagnetic smog could interfere with natural electrical currents that help to 'drive the human body', and calls it 'one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences'. The Observer article quoted Denis Henshaw, professor of human radiation effects at England's Bristol University, as saying that 'a huge and substantive body of evidence indicates a range of adverse health effects' from this 'smog'. He estimated it caused some 9,000 cases of depression and that is understandable when our emotions are electrochemical phenomena. If you are a fish in the sea you are fundamentally affected by the state of the water, and it is the same with us and the vibrational 'sea'. There are now so many electrical influences, as the Observer article said: Wiring creates electrical fields, one component of the smog, even when nothing is turned on. And all electrical equipment - from TVs to toasters - give off another one, magnetic fields. The fields rapidly decrease with distance but appliances such as hair dryers and electric shavers, used close to the head, can give high exposures. Electric blankets and clock radios near to beds produce even higher doses because people are exposed to them for many hours while sleeping. Radio frequency fields - yet another component - are emitted by microwave ovens, TV and radio transmitters, mobile phone masts and phones themselves, also used close to the head. The World Health Organisation has said that the problem will increase as technology 'advances', but it is not advancing, that is the point. How can technology that is causing so much physical, mental and emotional dis-ease be described as being an advance? At the highest strata within the conspiracy, the electromagnetic 'soup' is being created to produce an ever-thickening sea of frequency fields to hold the 'human' level in disconnection from its multi-dimensional self. In other words, to keep us in the five-sense prison of 'physical' perception where we can be so easily controlled and manipulated. The vibrational change I have been writing about since 1991 is threatening that control and this electromagnetic assault is part of the long-planned response. For me, the chemical clouds sprayed into the atmosphere by military aircraft, and commercial planes contracted by the military, are fundamentally connected to this 'soup' agenda. These clouds have become known as 'chemtrails', as opposed to the 'contrails' that are naturally produced by aircraft through condensation. Contrails quickly disperse, chemtrails do not, and they are often sprayed by planes flying in criss-cross patterns across the same area. Author and researcher, William Thomas, became the most vocal exposer of chemtrails soon after they began in the United States and Canada in about 1998, before appearing in Europe. Now, they are reported all over the world and Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa has told me of his constant experiences of these high-altitude sprayings in South Africa. Disney even added chemtrails to sky scenes in the children's animation movie, Cars. Yeah, get them used to seeing the sky like that and they won't ask questions. Many people in the United States report that their locations are sprayed so often that they no longer have the clear blue skies they once enjoyed and you can find detailed articles and background to chemtrails in the coverups research archive at www.davidicke.com. The chemtrails have many components. William Thomas says that analysis of the trails has found highly toxic pathogens, among them Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus. This was discovered by Dr Garth Nicholson in some 45 per cent of former soldiers suffering from the debilitating illness known as Gulf War Syndrome. Symptoms reported in sprayed areas have included respiratory and flu-like conditions and sometimes mental confusion and depression. We should not be surprised at biological warfare against the population when such things have been exposed many times since the 1940s. Unsuspecting communities have often been used as laboratory animals to test germ warfare agents. The Neocon Project for the New American Century, the power behind the Bush administration, called in 2000 for ... 'advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes ...' and the fact that they would test these on the population is a given. By the way, when they say something should be developed, it means it already has been. Chemtrails have been linked by some researchers to the outbreak of 'Morgellons disease', which was first identified in 2001. The symptoms include crawling, stinging and biting sensations, skin lesions that won't heal, extreme fatigue, severe mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, a sharp decline in vision, and serious neurological disorders. Its cause is officially 'a mystery', but look at how the symptoms mirror many of those associated with electromagnetic sensitivity. Significantly, in terms of the 'soup' I am talking about, analysis has revealed the presence of aluminium, barium, calcium, magnesium and titanium in the air and rain in areas subjected to chemtrail spraying. One study over three months collected rainwater and snow samples from Chapel Hill in North Carolina and submitted them for formal 'double-blind' laboratory tests. All the substances I have listed were found, especially the heavy metal, barium, which a good heat and electricity conductor. Barium sulphate is also an excellent X-ray absorber. A barium alloy is used in sparkplug wire and Barium oxide is employed in a coating for the electrodes of fluorescent lamps that allows the release of electrons. Aluminium conducts electricity and heat almost as well as copper. Although much more research is needed with open-minded experts in the field (where are they?), I am sure we are going to find that at least one major reason for the chemtrails is to add to the electromagnetic 'soup' that is getting ever-thicker around the Earth. Specifically, I think it likely that these metals released by the spraying are to create a highly efficient conduit for electromagnetic waves and broadcasts, so encasing the planet in an electromagnetic field-prison designed to block 'unwanted' wavelengths coming in, or stop people from tuning into them. At the same time, this 'soup' is designed to act as a conductor for thought wave frequencies broadcast to the population. I suggest that the chemtrail agenda is connected to HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project, based in Alaska and run by the US Department of 'Defense' through the Air Force and Navy. Other HAARP-like and HAARP-connected operations are being introduced in other countries, including Sweden. The target is the electrically-charged ionosphere surrounding the planet at between forty to sixty miles above the surface. We won't know the full significance of what the chemtrail clouds contain until we know how they interact with the signals broadcast by HAARP. Behind the cover stories and the bullshit, HAARP is all about control on multi-levels, including weather control. Prime among them is to fill their artificially-created electromagnetic 'matrix', 'membrane' or 'soup' around the Earth with instructions and thought/emotional patterns broadcasting on the brain-DNA wavelengths to turn the human population into little more than computer terminals for their instructions. As long-time HAARP researchers, Dr Nick Begich and Jeane Manning, write: Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything - living and dead. HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other US military documents put it more clearly - HAARP aims to learn how to 'exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes'. There you have the real motivation for HAARP and it fits perfectly the electromagnetic soup I am describing: 'Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.' HAARP, TETRA, mobile phone networks, chemtrails, the Global Positioning Satellite System or GPS, and so much more, are all aspects of the plan and it is unfolding very rapidly. This is also the system designed to communicate with the planned human microchips that will be connected to the Global Positioning satellites. If you think you live in zombie land now, give it a few more years unless we bring this insanity to an end. An Internet article on TETRA points out: Low frequency electromagnetic and microwave radiation were identified in the 1960s as a potential anti-personnel weapon and the Pentagon has confirmed that it has developed microwave crowd control weapons. Can a system which is developed as weaponry be considered safe for the police and public? No, of course not, but it's not meant to be. The electromagnetic 'soup' is part of a process of creating an alternative communication system to, and between, human minds. It is designed to create the 'hive mind' in which diversity of thought and perception is destroyed. You would get your instructions electromagnetically and then act upon them, believing them to be your own thoughts and decisions. As Professor Steven Rose said in his Observer article: '[Focusing] ... an intense magnetic field on specific brain regions ... has been shown to affect thoughts, perceptions and behaviour'. This is what is planned on a global scale and the conspiracy to entrap and imprison human perception is far bigger than even most conspiracy researchers currently understand. But, when we open our minds to connect with infinite consciousness beyond this frequency range we call the 'physical world', we can override these influences. That's the challenge because if we stay in 'body reality' we can be technologically controlled and that is the idea behind the electromagnetic 'matrix' being constructed by the day.

Mars rover finds "puddles" on the planet's surface

friction001 — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:28:21 GMT

A new analysis of pictures taken by the exploration rover Opportunity reveals what appear to be small ponds of liquid water on the surface of Mars. The report identifies specific spots that appear to have contained liquid water two years ago, when Opportunity was exploring a crater called Endurance. It is a highly controversial claim, as many scientists believe that liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars today because of the planet’s thin atmosphere. If confirmed, the existence of such ponds would significantly boost the odds that living organisms could survive on or near the surface of Mars, says physicist Ron Levin, the report's lead author, who works in advanced image processing at the aerospace company Lockheed Martin in Arizona. Along with fellow Lockheed engineer Daniel Lyddy, Levin used images from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's website. The resulting stereoscopic reconstructions, made from paired images from the Opportunity rover's twin cameras, show bluish features that look perfectly flat. The surfaces are so smooth that the computer could not find any surface details within those areas to match up between the two images. The imaging shows that the areas occupy the lowest parts of the terrain. They also appear transparent: some features, which Levin says may be submerged rocks or pebbles, can be seen below the plane of the smooth surface. Smooth surface The smoothness and transparency of the features could suggest either water or very clear ice, Levin says. "The surface is incredibly smooth, and the edges are in a plane and all at the same altitude," he says. "If they were ice or some other material, they'd show wear and tear over the surface, there would be rubble or sand or something." His report was presented at a conference of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and will be published later this year in the institute's proceedings. No signs of liquid water have been observed directly from cameras on the surface before. Reports last year pointed to the existence of gullies on crater walls where water appears to have flowed in the last few years, as shown in images taken from orbit, but those are short-lived flows, which are thought to have frozen over almost immediately. Speedy evaporation? Levin and other reasearchers, including JPL's Michael Hecht, have published calculations showing the possibility of "micro-environments" where water could linger, but the idea remains controversial. “The temperatures get plenty warm enough, but the Mars atmosphere is essentially a vacuum," says Phil Christensen of Arizona State University, developer of the Mars rovers' mini-Thermal Emission Spectrometers. That means any water or ice exposed on the surface evaporates or sublimes away almost instantly, he says. But, he adds, "it is theoretically possible to get liquid water within soil, or under other very special conditions". The question is just how special those conditions need to be, and whether they ever really are found on Mars today. If there were absolutely no wind, says Christensen, you might build up a stagnant layer of vapour above a liquid surface, preventing it from evaporating too fast. “The problem is, there are winds on Mars… In the real world, I think it's virtually impossible," he told New Scientist. Simple test Levin disagrees. He says his analysis shows that there can be wind-free environments at certain times of day in certain protected locations. He thinks that could apply to these small depressions inside the sheltered bowl of Endurance crater, at midday in the Martian summer. He adds that highly briny water, as is probably found on Mars, could be stable even at much lower temperatures. Although the rover is now miles away from this site, Levin proposes a simple test that would prove the presence of liquid if similar features are found: use the rover's drill on the surface of the flat area. If it is ice, or any solid material, the drill will leave unmistakable markings, but if it is liquid there should be no trace of the drill's activity. Levin’s father Gilbert was principal investigator of an experiment on the Viking Mars lander, which found evidence for life on the planet, although negative results from a separate test for organic materials led most scientists to doubt the evidence for biology.

THE POWER OF WORDS

friction001 — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:46:23 GMT

Check out this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWmWWqm1hFs It seems that Dr. Masaru Emoto had an 'awakening' that opened his mind to perceive beyond the 'physical' and I can certainly understand that process. Most 'scientists' and academics are not 'right brain conscious' when inspiration and creativity abounds, together with our connection to 'out there'. Instead, they are locked away in the left brain that deals with language and the material world. Such people cannot perceive or conceive reality outside the physical realm because they do not have the computer software to interpret those levels. Reality for them is decoded through the left brain, which does not have the capacity for 'out there' perception. It is sobering to think that 'science', like politics, government administration, the media, military, banking and business is dominated by left brain decoders and this explains why 'the system' in all its forms is a material, left-brain, construct. Only when perception expands - minds open - can we move our point of observation to another level of reality that works through the right brain and opens us to greater levels of understanding. Dr. Emoto went through such a transition and it led him to study the vibrational realms and methods of bringing these to public attention and awareness. Hence, his books like The Hidden Messages in Water. Given that we are 95 per cent water before we are born and 70 per cent by the time we are adults, the affects on water mean affects on us - at least at the computer level of reality. The Earth is also 70 per cent water and so the same applies. Dr. Emoto found that words, even written words because everything in this reality is a vibration, transfer their frequency to the water. The technique involves a very powerful microscope in a very cold room and uses high-speed photography. One method is to put written messages on to bottles of water and leave them overnight. The water is then frozen and the water crystals photographed. The results are extraordinary. Dr. Emoto's work has been criticised by sceptics, but it reveals a profound truth about 'physical' reality: everything we say, do, think and feel affects everything else. Of course it does, because everything is a vibrational field that is affected by other vibrational fields. When you see what the words 'You make me sick' do to the water crystals, imagine what living under power lines or constantly using a mobile phone does to the vibrational field of the human body which, on one level, expresses itself as 70 per cent water and even more so in the womb. Look at what mobile phone frequencies do to water crystals: It is at this level of reality that the energetic constructs are formed and affected that manifest as holograms in the 'material' world. What we call cancer, for example, results from vibrational imbalance or disruption that leads to the imbalance in cell formation that leads to cancer cells. The same disruption also undermines the strength of the immune system that would normally deal with rogue cells. There is no mystery why people become ill or suffer from mental and emotional problems like depression when they live near power lines or mobile phone masts, nor when those who work closely with electromagnetic technology suffer from a greater prevalence of certain illnesses. Dr. Emoto's water crystal techniques show what is happening on the unseen levels. Chemical additives in food and drink, and fluoride in drinking water, are 'physical' expressions of vibrational fields and the damage they do is firstly vibrational. This vibrational imbalance manifests as electrochemical imbalance in the body and we experience this as physical, mental and emotional dis-ease. Music has a positive and negative effect on us because its vibrational state either synchronises with us or causes imbalance. This is clearly shown in Dr. Emoto's experiments with music and water. The Illuminati bloodlines and their secret society network, the highest level of it anyway, understand these principles and they have used this knowledge to create a vibrational construct akin to a vibrational prison. When you realise the vibrational consequences that thoughts, emotions, words, symbols and chemicals have on water, think what the sum total of that must mean in the affect on the energy field of Planet Earth. Man, the affect of the Iraq invasion and its aftermath alone would be catastrophic in causing vibrational mayhem individually and collectively. The cumulative affect of all the wars, fear, stress, and conflict in all its forms has created a low-vibrational construct that holds so many in its clutches. It is this principle that forms the 'eggshells' I have been talking about for nearly 20 years that disconnect us from higher levels of consciousness. They are dense energy fields formed from fear, stress and other low-vibrational thought and emotion. On the principle that like-frequencies and vibrations attract each other, it means that if we get stuck in these energy fields we will attract compatible fields to us. In this way, we create our own reality by attracting fields that sync with our state of being. We call these fields, people, places and experiences. Only when we break the pattern of our own energetic field and let another vibrational state emerge will we transform our 'physical' experience. As the saying goes, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Put another way, if you always project the same magnetic field you will always attract the same ones you always have As Ghandi said: 'You must be the change you want to see in the world'. He could have added that you must be the change you want to be in your own world, too, that involves relationships, opportunities and experiences. Without changing ourselves, our energetic reflection (our daily lives) cannot change because, to use a phrase I use in my books, we are simply combing the mirror. We would think it crazy if we tried to comb our hair by combing the mirror, the reflection. We comb our hair and the mirror then reflects it, not the other way round. But that's what we do when we try to change our life experience without changing ourselves. We want to change 'out there' when that is merely a reflection of 'in here'. What 'in here' does to 'out there' can be seen in the photographs of Dr. Emoto. The great news is, however, that the throttle goes both ways. We can add to the vibrational prison by contributing to the fear, stress, anger and conflict. Or, we can be peaceful, loving and kind. That is a challenge for us all because the prison construct is urging us to speak its language and act its reality and it takes a real conscious effort not to fall for it, or fall for it most of the time. I was interested to see what effect prayer had on the water crystals. What we call prayer is just concentrated thought and it is what you pray for that dictates the vibrational outcome. The point I am making, however, is that concentrated thought - prayer - does have a fundamental affect on reality. So, it is appropriately crystal clear that what we say, write and think are not neutral to our energetic environment, they are constructing it. So our world is ours to change.

THE CHURCH OF ...... LATTER-DAY SATANISTS

friction001 — Mon, 28 May 2007 02:57:09 GMT

Interesting videos: The Mormon religion exposed: Part. 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhoBCUG8uJo&mode=related&search Mormon religion exposed: Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3NYJzUn1AM&mode=related&search Story of Mormonism - Real Mormon theology revealed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5dscqcNOGM Hello all ... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or the Mormons, is about to see its profile raised in the United States and around the world by the movie, September Dawn, starring John Voight. It tells the story of the cold-blooded massacre of men, women and children at Mountain Meadows in southwest Utah on September 11th (that date again) in 1857. Some forty families heading for California were shot dead, or had their throats cut, by Paiute Indians and Mormons under the direction of their leader, Brigham Young. The only ones spared were children under ten who were then 'brought up' by Mormon families. They apparently sold them from one family to another. September Dawn is bound to focus attention and questions about the global corporation known as the Mormon Church, but whatever the movie reveals will be but a fraction of what this Illuminati operation has to hide. It was created by Freemason members of the elite Merovingian bloodline; its rituals are based on Freemasonry and the religion of Babylon; and it was funded by the Rothschild-front, Kuhn Loeb and Company. At its core, it is a cover for Satanism and human sacrifice, mind-control programmes and child abuse. The Mormon Church was founded by Joseph Smith after he claimed an 'angel' called Moroni appeared to him in 1823. Moroni, he said, told him of the existence of a book of gold plates containing 'the fullness of the everlasting gospel' and 'an account of the former inhabitants of this continent and the sources from which they sprang'. He said the location of the plates was revealed to him and in 1827, with help from two 'magic stones' called Urim and Thummim, he translated the plates into English. Urim and Thummim were, in fact, the names of knucklebones or dice used by Levite priests. The Kings of Israel were said to follow their prophecies and they were used in the Mystery school holy place known as the 'Tabernacle'. Smith said the gold plates were written in 'reformed Egyptian'. From this, came the Book of Mormon two years later and his followers became the Mormon Church in 1830. The pillars of the early church were Smith, his brother Hiram, and Brigham Young - all Freemasons and Merovingian bloodline. They set up communities called Stakes of Zion and eventually settled in Salt Lake City, Utah. Those in any doubt that Mormonism is Freemasonry under another name should compare the Masonic oaths with those of the Mormons. For example, in the Mormon ceremony it says: We and each of us do covenant and promise that we will not reveal the secrets of this, the Second Token of the Aaronic Priesthood, with its accompanying name, sign, grip, or penalty. Should we do so, we agree to have our breasts cut open and our hearts and vitals torn from our bodies and given to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. The Masonic ritual says: I ... most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear... that I will not give the degree of a Fellow Craft Mason to anyone of an inferior degree, nor to any other being in the known world ... binding myself under no less penalty than to have my left breast torn open and my heart and vitals taken from thence ... to become a prey to the wild beasts of the field, and vulture of the air ...' Dr Reed Durham, a president of the Mormon History Association, said: There is absolutely no question in my mind that the Mormon ceremony which came to be known as the Endowment, introduced by Joseph Smith to Mormon Masons, had an immediate inspiration from Masonry. It is also obvious that the Nauvoo Temple architecture was in part, at least, masonically influenced. Indeed, it appears that there was an intentional attempt to utilize Masonic symbols and motifs ... Joseph Smith's 'Mormon' Endowment Ceremony was taken from the rituals of Freemasonry's Blue Lodge Degrees. Even their underwear is the same. On Mormon underwear a carpenter's square covers the right breast and over the left is a Freemasonic compass. There is an opening at the navel to symbolise the disembowelling penalty for disclosing Mormon secrets. They are told that their underwear will be their 'shield and protection', especially the Masonic symbols, and they can only use their worn-out underwear for other purposes if they cut or burn out the areas depicting the Masonic square and compass. These instructions are straight from occult or ritual magic. Jim Shaw, a former 33rd degree Freemason, describes yet another Freemasonic connection to the Mormons: A recommendation for acceptance is called a 'recommend' in the Lodge, as is the case with Mormons seeking admission to the secret rituals of the Mormon Temple. Much of the Mormon Temple ritual is the same as the Masonic Ritual, having been borrowed from it by Smith. When I spoke in Salt Lake City many years ago I came across a fascinating book by William J. Schnoebelen called Mormonism's Temple Of Doom (Triple J Pub., Idaho Falls, 1987). Schnoebelen was initiated into the Wicca pagan religion and then into Freemasonry before going through the Mormon initiation in the Salt Lake Temple. He shows in great detail that all three initiations were the same. They have the same oaths, secret handshakes and garb. Mormon buildings are adorned with Freemasonic, Illuminati and satanic symbols. The inverted pentagram, the most obvious symbol of Satanism, can be found on the Temple at Salt Lake City, on the Mormon museum nearby, and on other Mormon properties. The pentagram is used in rituals to summon demons in Satanism and, in its inverted form, is said to be the sign of 'Satan', the Goat of Mendes, or Baphomet. This is the deity some of the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping when they were purged in France in 1307. Wherever you find an Illuminati Satanic front, the symbols of the Sun and Moon will be prominently displayed. The original Mormon Nauvoo temple included thirty 2.5-ton stones depicting the radiant Sun, along with thirty moonstones, and the Sun and Moon symbols continue to be used today. The Mormon religion was founded by Freemasons, uses Freemasonic, Illuminati, and ancient rituals and symbols, and is big into blood atonement and terrible vengeance for revealing the secrets. It only needs Satanism to complete the set and it is clear from my research over the last decade that human sacrifice and other grotesque ritual are at the very heart of its operations. This is obviously hidden from the fresh-faced, perfectly-turned out 'missionaries' who travel the world selling the corporation and provide the cover for what really goes on in the inner sanctum. I have received many testimonies from the victims of Mormon Satanism and mind control and one came from a woman I will call 'Jane'. She said the first Mormon ritual she attended was in Bountiful, Utah, wearing the dress her mother had made for her fourth birthday. She was beaten and battered with branches from a tree and she was told: 'See, Jesus doesn't love you and he is not going to save you.' This is straight from the manual of trauma-based mind control. She recalled vividly being placed in a cedar chest and the lid secured. She was left in there until she lost consciousness and when she was revived she was told that Jesus didn't love her and that Satan had come to save her. She also has memories of nearly drowning many times and she says she was belittled, beaten, and starved. Her father would eat in front of her and her brother while they went hungry. Her mother was treated the same. Once again, all these are classic mind control techniques. 'Jane' says she was taken to the most secret Mormon rites at the Salt Lake Temple at the age of 20. Instead of entering the through the front door, she was taken through a tunnel under the street to a place called the 'Pink Room'. There she saw several of the Mormon leaders dressed in black worshipping Lucifer in a ritual called True Order of Prayer. This is a ritual form of the ceremony the regular Mormons go through with all its signs, tokens and penalties. She said she saw one Mormon leader, a President Benson, tied to a chair and gagged when he refused to watch the sacrifice. When he still refused to participate, she says he was put in a white bag, like a laundry bag, and they all beat him. Jane also experienced the unexplainable disappearance of foetuses she was carrying: I would be fine and three or five months pregnant with not a sign of anything wrong and then I would not be able to feel my baby by feeling my abdomen or feel it move and I would not be pregnant. One time I was very far-gone, but I don't know how far, maybe seven months, and the baby disappeared and I was kept drugged for six weeks. When I came out of being drugged I felt my stomach and there was no baby. A couple of years ago I remembered delivering that baby in a room ... I was attended by two men that I don't know and one said he was the father of the baby. After he was born, they held him up for me to see and I never saw him again and have never known what happened to him. I also remember having four babies removed from my body and them being sacrificed while I was tied to a cross shaped stone alter. Everyone had on black robes and hoods and we were underground in a cave or something. I also remember seeing two monsters fighting furiously dripping blood and fighting about what they were eating. They were reptilian and looked something like the dinosaurs that a teacher at school used to show us. I don't know what they were eating. I keep thinking that my mind wants to heal and I have to face that they ate my baby, but for now I can't handle it so I think of it as just a nightmare. I can't get the furiousness of them eating out of my mind. It is so horrific. This is what really goes on at the top of the Mormon Church and I have had similar stories recounted to me many times. The hierarchy uses the naÃ¯ve, innocent and mind-controlled to cover the truth of what the Mormonism really is - Illuminati Satanism. The rank-and-file Mormons who knock on your door or stop you in the street with their scrubbed faces present the image that hides the lie while genuinely believing they are serving 'the Lord'. When I visited Salt Lake City in 1999, two lovely Mormon girls gave me a tour of the temple site. One was from Thailand, the other from Hong Kong. They had been working day and night back home to earn the money to pay for their flight to America and all their expenses for the 'privilege' of serving the church. Mormons in general give ten-per-cent of their income to the corporation every year. The two girls told me what the hierarchy told them to tell all the visitors and they repeated their script without question. I told them a few facts about the 'Jesus' story and they said they had no idea this information existed. I asked them if there was any significance in the fact that the founders of the Mormon Church were Freemasons. They looked at each other in bewilderment and eventually one said 'What are Freemasons?' This is the way the few control the many in all the religions, not least in that Mormon mirror, the Jehovah's Witnesses, or Watchtower Society, founded by Freemason and Merovingian bloodline, Charles Taze Russell. He was a Satanist, a paedophile according to his wife, and a friend of the Rothschilds, who funded the Watchtower Society. The modus operandi has been repeated so many times. Today, the Mormon Church has thirteen million members world-wide and its representatives have been placed in many influential positions in the United States. Now they now have one of their own running for President. The former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, is performing well in the latest polls as he seeks the Republican nomination and one of the most vehement supporters of the Illuminati agenda over the years has been Senator Orrin Hatch, an elder of the Mormon Church, who represents Utah on Capitol Hill. September Dawn will tarnish the image of the Mormon Church, but no more. It is only when the true background to this abomination is widely exposed to the general public that it's power-structure will fall.

FOX ALERT!

FOX NEWS...... FIX NEWS

friction001 — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:38:00 GMT

Hello all ... Fundamental to any tyranny is control of the media and today's global tyranny has all but achieved that. The media is owned by the corporations who ensure that what people are told in the daily 'news' leads them to see the world in a way that suits the corporations and the shadowy bloodline networks that control them. The most blatant example is Fox News, the far-right propaganda ministry owned by Rupert Murdoch and his vast media empire that includes Sky TV, Asian Star Television, the New York Post and the British newspapers, the Sun and the Times. Murdoch also bought MySpace.com in 2005 and given that line up - and so much more - it is sobering to see what goes on behind the scenes in the Murdoch fiefdom to dictate and manipulate what passes for 'news' and 'information'. Fox News is the most biased television station I have seen, certainly in North America and Europe, and yet its slogan is 'Fair and Balanced'. This is Orwellian Newspeak akin to the Ministry of Truth in his novel 1984 where history and information were falsified. Outside the Ministry was the notice: 'War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.' That's the same as saying Fox News is 'fair and balanced'. Its presenters are employed to take a slant on the day's stories decreed by the producers who answer to Murdoch and his henchmen. Watching souls being sold for the Murdoch shilling would make any real journalist puke and it's not even necessary to watch for long to see how stunningly unfair and unbalanced it really is. Switch on any time and there it is, 24/7. King of the Claptrap is a guy called Bill O'Reilly, who settled a sexual harassment suit out of court in 2004 brought by his former producer, Andrea Mackris. The suit claimed that O'Reilly talked to Mackris about sexual fantasies, masturbation and vibrators while 'sometimes seeming to pleasure himself'. Well, anyone with a brain who has seen him at work on The O'Reilly Factor can see what a masturbator he is. Facts and O'Reilly, as with Fox News in general, are not close friends. As Peter Hart, Media Analyst for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, said: 'The O'Reilly Factor is probably the perfect example of everything that's wrong with Fox news channel. They have stories that are selected primarily to upset liberals and Democrats and prop up the Republican Party. You have a hostility towards guests that disagree with the host and you have a host who in service of his conservative politics will distort facts, will misrepresent things, and will in some cases, just fabricate.' This week O'Reilly harangued and misrepresented Sunsara Taylor of the anti-war organisation, 'The World Can't Wait'. She pointed out that Bush attorney John Yoo, who co-authored the Patriot Act, had said in a debate in Chicago that there was no law to stop the president ordering torture, including by 'crushing the testicles of the person's child'. O'Reilly accused her of slander and being unpatriotic. He called her 'hysterical' and 'simply a woman who doesn't know what she's talking about'. The guy's a nasty piece of work, a playground bully, and so how Murdoch must love him. They say likes attract. O'Reilly's treatment of Jeremy Glick, the son of a Port Authority worker who died on 9/11, was even more disgraceful. Glick's 'crime' was to sign an anti-war petition and, while the 'interview' itself was appalling, what happened afterwards gave an insight into the mentality that Murdoch employs. O'Reilly said to Click words to the effect of 'Get out of my studio before I fucking tear you to pieces'. Glick went to a room to get a cup of coffee and he said 'the executive producer and the assistant encouraged me to leave the building because they were concerned that if O'Reilly ran into me in the hallway that he would end up in jail.' I watched a documentary the other day called Outfoxed which interviewed former Fox News employees and other media commentators and revealed the systematic bias and manipulation of information presented as 'news'. Frank O'Donnell, a former Fox News reporter, said that Murdoch began to blatantly dictate the content: 'We received an order from one of Murdoch's apparachniks ... that we should cut away from our newscast and start carrying a fawning tribute to Ronald Reagan that was airing at the Republican Party Convention. We were stunned because up until that point we were allowed to do legitimate news and suddenly we were ordered from the top to carry propaganda, to carry Republican right wing propaganda.' O'Donnell said that they were told to run a long uncut report essentially attacking Ted Kennedy, a long-time opponent of Murdoch. 'It had zero news value. We were told, "You have to run this thing uncut". You could not even edit it down and just run a snippet of it.' Jon Du Pre, former Fox News presenter with the West Coast Bureau, said the stated practice was also to embarrass, humiliate, challenge or disrupt whatever black Democrat Jesse Jackson did: 'We were told on many occasions that he was one of our targets. Anything we could do or say that would embarrass him, discredit him, we were encouraged to find the information and we were encouraged to report the information.' Fox News executives issue a 'message of the day' and other orders to staff which former Fox contributor and CIA intelligence analyst Larry Johnson described as 'a detailed list of subjects to talk about and not talk about'. He said they 'were actually issuing edicts to the reporters to control what they could say and how they could say it'. Presenter Jon Du Pre said a memo would arrive every morning from headquarters saying 'we want to touch on the following issues, we want to cover the following stories, we want to do them in this particular way'. Du Pre was even suspended for not being enthusiastic enough in his all-day reporting on the birthday of Ronald Reagan. In response to angry Fox News executives he reported that Reagan admirers had 'been streaming in from all over the country and even parts of Canada and Mexico ...' It wasn't true, but he was watching his back and his job. Fox News uses fear to manipulate its viewers and control its staff. Contributor Larry Johnson told how correspondents and those who book guests were frightened of stepping out of line because it was like they were 'being monitored by a Stalinist system, afraid to be seen talking to the wrong person or having the wrong kind of email exchange'. Former Fox producer Frank O'Donnell said it was made very clear that they were being monitored and if someone wasn't watching it live they were at least recording it for review to see what they did. The 'expert' guests are booked for their political views and they're dominated by the Neocons that have controlled the Bush administration and orchestrated the post 9/11 invasions. A regular contributor is William Kristol, founder of the Neocon's Project for the New American Century and editor of Murdoch's Neocon rag, The Weekly Standard. Former Fox News producer Clara Frenk said she saw a list of contributors and all the 'Conservatives' were well known and 'very, very strong people' while the 'Liberal' representatives listed only one person she had heard of. She said that a lot of the time they used 'faux-liberals', someone who essentially agreed with the right-wing guest - 'or they would just bring on people who were very weak, you know, people who were not well-known people'. Steve Rendall, Senior Analyst at Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, said they studied Fox News one-to-one interviews for 25 weeks in 2003 after the Iraq invasion: 'Republicans appeared 5 times as often as Democrats on one-on-one newsmakers interviews. That means that Republicans made up 83% of the partisan guests while Democrats made up just 17%. In addition the few Democrats that were interviewed for the show tended to be centrists and conservative Democrats often brought on to affirm Bush Administration policies. '... if Fox were the bastion of fairness and balance that it claims to be we'd see a lot more balance in this prominent interview segment on the network's most prestigious show. Instead the numbers indicate that Brit Hume and Special Report choose their guest based on political considerations rather than news judgment.' Contributor Larry Johnson was dropped after he gave the wrong answer to a question from presenter Sean Hannity in the run up to the invasion of Iraq. He was asked if the Bush government could fight two wars at the same time and he said a war with Iraq would divert resources needed elsewhere: 'And Sean Hannity, being the right-wing cheerleader that he is, was just, you know, incensed that I ... had the temerity to suggest that we couldn't. Facts don't seem to have any effect upon him. What was unusual is it was after that appearance that, even though I was under contract to Fox for another eight weeks roughly, they stopped using me.' But there was nothing unusual about that. Johnson didn't repeat the Murdoch line, so he had to go. That's the Fox News mode of operation. It screamed its support for the Iraq war, while its executives and presenters never went near so much as a popgun, and anyone who challenged the invasion was either ignored or brought on for a ritual demolition. The Fox technique for this is not to employ facts and rational argument, but to shout people down and hurl abuse. Telling people to 'shut up' is the way these intellectual giants respond to facts they cannot counter. Fox News targets anyone who could expose the lies and deceit of the Bush government, Bush's counter-terrorism advisor Richard Clarke found out. Clarke's book, Against All Enemies, criticised the Bush administration for its actions before 9/11 and for the decision to invade Iraq. It also contradicted the official stories of people like Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers about what they were doing on the morning of September 11th. Jeff Cohen, former Fox News contributor, said: 'When Richard Clarke emerged it was obvious this was a danger to the Administration because he had worked at the highest echelons of the Bush Administration and it was almost like Fox News was working off the playbook coming out of the White House â€“ that he had to be torn down, that he had to be turned into a Democrat, a Liberal, a Kerry-guy.' The Bush White House and Fox News say the same in their 'messages of the day' because they are working together. On the night of Boy Bush's rigged election 'victory' in 2000, the first one to announce that he had been elected president was John Ellis, the man in charge of Fox News' election analysis division. Ellis is a first cousin of George W. Bush. He made his announcement when the data from Florida clearly made the vote too close to call, but instead this Bush cousin announced a clear Bush victory. It prompted ABC, NBC and CBS to follow suit. John Nichols, Washington correspondent of The Nation and author of the Cheney book, Dick: The Man Who Is President, said: 'When Fox made the call that Bush had won and the other networks followed on, that created the perception that Bush was the winner, when in fact he wasn't. But that perception was what really held for the next 37 days and I would suggest to you that call on election night had more to do with making George Bush president than any recount or ballot design issue.' Once Bush was not elected but still entered the White House the manipulation at Fox continued. Former Fox News freelance writer Dave Korb told how they were ordered to slant the coverage in Iraq while American troops and Iraqis were dying by the day. 'The Senior Producer told the two or three writers for her news hour, she told us, "now just keep in mind, it's all good. This is such a fair and balanced issue. Don't write about the number of dead or troops being under fire or under attack. Not that somebody might have died, you know, keep it positive. We've got to emphasise all the good that we're doing". She, at that point, made a reference to rebuilding schools, bringing democracy to Iraq, and then she said, "See big progress. Yoo, hoo for us".' Fox News is an obvious and extreme example of media bias, but it happens virtually everywhere. It is blatant in most national newspapers around the world while at organisations like the BBC it is more subtle and self-censorship abounds. Reporters know that they can't cross a certain line and if they do they will either not get their report on air or they will face the wrath of their bosses. Self-censorship is in many ways the worse type of news bias because it doesn't even get as far as an editor's spike. As a former Fox News reporter, who remained anonymous for career reasons, said: 'When you have this Executive Vice President and those around him, who are consistently saying, "no we're not gonna do that story, no this story's bad, this story's good", and it becomes very clear to all the Bureau Chiefs, to everybody involved who have been there over a period of years, there are certain kinds of stories, it's not even worth bringing up, there are other kinds of stories that you know management's gonna love.' One American editor is reported to have called journalists 'intellectual prostitutes' and there is no better example than Fox News where Murdoch's penis is an object of worship. But they are not alone and with corporate control of the global media now almost complete the old saying that you should never believe what you read in the newspapers has never been more accurate. It applies to all of the media because what we are given as 'news' is just a biased version of events, either through what has been included or left out. Research has shown that viewers to Fox News who believe what they hear have a very confused view of the world, especially with regard to foreign policy and the Middle East. They believe what has long been proved to be false, but that's understandable when facts have a minor role in Fox output. Bob McChesney, founder of Free Press and author of The Problem of the Media, was right when he said that the American media propaganda is far more effective than in the old Soviet Union because at least in communist countries the people know they are not being told the truth by a state-controlled press and television. In the United States and the entire 'democratic' world most people don't realise that what they think is news is actually propaganda and so they are much easier to manipulate. McChesney said: 'When you let a small number of companies have this much concentrated power, they will always abuse it; it's simply unacceptable in a free society. And if you don't change the system we can be having this conversation for the next 50 years and be talking about Rupert Murdoch the third.' Fox News is everything that's wrong with America while claiming to be everything that's right, but the rest of the mainstream media is also infested with different forms and levels of bias and distortion. The Internet is now pretty much the last bastion of a free media and we must defend it in every way we can. If we let that fall, the Orwellian state will control virtually every source of information and the idea is to turn the entire media into a version of Fox News. It must not happen or it's bye, bye what's left of freedom.
