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.
