Bush borrowed more than all previous 42 Presidents. Combined. Rome, here we come:

According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion.
By the way, that was in 2005.

 

Everyone will have a harder time finding credit (and finding investment) when incalculable sums of wealth (purchasing power) is consumed in the business of legalized crimes that include mass torture and mass murder.

 

How can anyone NOT SEE the link between the financial crisis pending (on purpose) and the expense of legalized torture and mass murder when the torture and mass murder consumes SO FUCKING MUCH!

Example:

Dahr Jamail is a Newsman, a journalist, an accurate source of information vital to the cause of maintaining a prosperous life for our own sorry asses and our investment in posterity (our generations as yet to live).

Look at what IS HAPPENING as our wealth (what we create with our combined labor) or fail to look at it. Whatever makes you happy.

Look the other way at your own expense.

Do something right.

How about something revolutionary and simple?

Think BIG with just a little effort.

Something like this:

http://www.ronpaulstamps.com/



If you cannot or will not see the revolution and yet you are in need of some measure of credit for moving the revolution along, then, get one of those stamps and start stamping.

You will see it; after a while. This revolution is focused at the HEART of the parasitic vampire infection polluting our species. That little STAMP is like one molecule in the STAKE being driven through the heart of the CRIMINAL regime. You can add FORCE to the VELOCITY of the STAKE being driven through the heart that is KILLING the parasite.

You can sit back and watch more and more people tortured and murdered because the cure remains too slowly administered lacking in POWER and FORCE that you can add; if only you knew. If only you cared enough.

 

This is one little thing to do and it can be fun.

I have two stamps now. One stamp I will give to someone and I am confident that my gift will be utilized constructively, positively, and my exchange will help the revolution along.

I've spent much of my life looking for this type of thing. This is revolutionary. Buy a stamp. Stamp your stamp on the face of an OLD president.

You don't have to protest in public. You don't even have to vote in a booth with a Diabold machine bought with your wealth to make you cheat yourself like some bizarre and pitiful episode of Twilight Zone.

Buy the fucking stamp and start stamping. Feel the POWER.

It IS the stupid curreny - stop being STUPID.

Stop digging your own miserable grave.

Live.

This one single step, you can do, will change the world.

It is a simple matter of trust in your own POWER.

Do it. If you are disapointed in this measure of progress, then, return to this forum and speak YOUR FUCKING MIND.

How Propaganda Works
by Bob Wallace

"Once you base your whole life striving on a desperate lie,
and try to implement that lie,
you instrument your own undoing."


- Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death.
 

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Edward+L.+Bernays

http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/1999Q2/bernays.html

One man everyone should know is Edward L. Bernays, the American disciple and nephew of Sigmund Freud. He was for all practical purposes the founder of modern propaganda techniques.
Bernays despised most people and regarded them as his inferiors, especially because of intellectual or social claims. (See how it works? I just appealed to your emotions, and convinced you Bernays was attacking you. You fell for it, right?)
Bernays not only pretty much founded modern propaganda techniques, but was also the father of modern PR. Although, you could say they are same thing, and that there's really no difference between them.
In his 1928 book, Propaganda, Bernays wrote, "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country…"

Asked who was really responsible ahead of the trial of the only US military officer charged with tormenting Iraqis at the jail, McKelvey replied: "That's the million dollar question. That's what everyone wants to know."

CIA and the Pentagon intelligence agencies have hired contractors in Iraq, but the tasks and the funds involved are secret.

Like millions of others in the world’s poorest countries, she is destined to die in pain. She cannot get the drug she needs — one that is cheap, effective, perfectly legal for medical uses under treaties signed by virtually every country, made in large quantities, and has been around since Hippocrates praised its source, the opium poppy. She cannot get morphine.

That is not merely because of her poverty, or that of Sierra Leone. Narcotics incite fear: doctors fear addicting patients, and law enforcement officials fear drug crime. Often, the government elite who can afford medicine for themselves are indifferent to the sufferings of the poor.

One pro-Chavez student explained what happened. She and others were erecting posters supporting a "yes" referendum vote when they were attacked with tear gas and crowds yelling they were going to be lynched. Avila TV had the evidence. Its unedited footage showed an opposition student mob surrounding the School of Social Work area where pro-Chavez students hid for safety. They threw Molotov cocktails, rocks, chairs and other objects, smashed windows, and tried to burn down the building as university authorities (responsible for security) stood aside doing nothing to curtail the violence. Another report was that corporate-owned Univision operatives posing as reporters had guns and accompanied the elements attacking the school in an overt act of complicity by the media.

The pattern now unfolding on Caracas streets is similar to what happened ahead of the April, 2002 aborted coup attempt, and Petras calls it "the most serious threat (to the President) since" that time. The corporate media then claimed pro-government supporters instigated street violence and fired on "unarmed" opposition protesters. In fact, that was later proved a lie as anti-Chavez "snipers" did the firing as part of the plot that became the coup. A similar scheme may now be unfolding in Caracas and on other campuses around the country as well.

The plan is forecast to cost Germany, Europe's top polluter, $45.5 billion (that's about what the U.S. spends on the Iraq war every seven months).

 

The German cabinet agreed to a 36% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, below 1990 levels, by 2020 through improvements in energy efficiency, better building insulation and investments in new renewable energy sources. (A report released last week found the U.S. could make a similar, or even steeper reduction, mostly by investing in energy efficiency; the report was produced by both environmentalists and leaders of industry, including major utilities and energy companies.)

Matthews is not alone. Nationwide, the federal government has paid at least $1.3 billion in subsidies for rice and other crops since 2000 to individuals who do no farming at all, according to an analysis of government records by The Washington Post.

The former gang member and convert to Islam - whose arrest in May 2002 was trumpeted by then-Attorney General John Ashcroft as that of a "known terrorist," who was "exploring a plan" to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" in a US city - was once regarded as one of the most dangerous terrorists ever apprehended on American soil. Almost six years later, as he received his sentence, he was not actually accused of lifting a finger to harm even a single US citizen.

The deal was that Indonesia under Suharto would offer up what Richard Nixon had called "the richest hoard of natural resources, the greatest prize in southeast Asia." In November 1967, the greatest prize was handed out at a remarkable three-day conference sponsored by the Time-Life Corporation in Geneva. Led by David Rockefeller, all the corporate giants were represented: the major oil companies and banks, General Motors, Imperial Chemical Industries, British American Tobacco, Siemens, U.S. Steel, and many others. Across the table sat Suharto's U.S.-trained economists who agreed to the corporate takeover of their country, sector by sector. The Freeport company got a mountain of copper in West Papua. A U.S./ European consortium got the nickel. The giant Alcoa company got the biggest slice of Indonesia's bauxite. America, Japanese, and French companies got the tropical forests of Sumatra. When the plunder was complete, President Lyndon Johnson sent his congratulations on "a magnificent story of opportunity seen and promise awakened." Thirty years later, with the genocide in East Timor also complete, the World Bank described the Suharto dictatorship as a "model pupil."

To anyone,

The BOOM is usually followed by a BUST (on purpose) to reap the rewards of insider knowledge (when the money supply is reduced quickly); however - the BUST has been a POWER that remains to be forced back into 'fashion' and the reader may, or may not, know what I am talking about.

I can answer questions one way or the other.

Example:

What do you mean?

I mean that the POWER to reduce the money supply in order to create a bust and then acquire titles of things people can no longer afford to purchase (and pay interest) at pennies on the dollar is no longer a power controlled by the legal criminals - perhaps.

My theory is based upon the lack of a new 'great' (greater) depression whereby no one has any currency (money) to conduct business and where 'gold' is confiscated by the 'legal' criminals. The POWER to create a BUST may have passed from the hands of the legal criminals currently occupying the position of 'Dollar Hegemony'.

What this means in real terms is a change of guard from the 'kinder and gentler' Dollar Hegemony (who torture and mass murder) to a new POWER that may include a combination of Europe, Russia, China, and South America.

I left out England, Australia, Japan, and, of course, the U.S. because those 'legal' entities are 'Dollar Hegemony' or the current POWER monopolizing the currency supply 'business'.

It is extortion. The new boss may have even less control of their victims so don't get too upset about the supposed 'Crash' that keeps on coming like the energizer bunny.

See?

When is that Crash going to get here - finally? If it takes too long, then, people will begin to wish for it.

See?

The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror


Interviews gathered throughout the Middle-East, Europe and the United States, including a Bechtel executive in Baghdad, expose who is cashing in on the tens of billions of dollars requested from congress by the current administration of G. W. Bush.


The Oil Factor features many experts and personalities such as former Defense Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, M.I.T. professor Noam Chomsky, the Project for the New American Century Executive Director Gary Schmitt, Coalition Provisional Authority Chairman Paul Bremer, former Pentagon analyst Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, current Iraqi government official Abdel Aziz Al-Hakim and authors Ahmed Rashid and Michael C. Ruppert

"Unless you have been strapped down to the board, have endured the agonizing feeling of the water overpowering your gag reflex, and then feel your throat open and allow pint after pint of water to involuntarily fill your lungs, you will not know the meaning of the word…


"Waterboarding is a controlled drowning that, in the American model, occurs under the watch of a doctor, a psychologist, an interrogator and a trained strap-in/strap-out team. It does not simulate drowning, as the lungs are actually filling with water. There is no way to simulate that. The victim is drowning. How much the victim is to drown depends on the desired result (in the form of answers to questions shouted into the victim's face) and the obstinacy of the subject."

There is a decent, brave man sitting in a dungeon in a country where the British Empire began, a country of poets, singers, artists, free thinkers and petty tyrants. I have known him since a moonless night in 1971 when he led me clandestinely into what was then East Pakistan and is now Bangladesh, past villages the Pakistani army had raped and razed. His name is Moudud Ahmed and he was then a young lawyer who had defended the Bengali independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. "Why have you come when even crows are afraid to fly over our house," said Begum Mujib, the sheikh’s wife. This was typical of Moudud, whose tumultuous life carries more than a hint of Tom Paine.

It is virtually impossible to overstate the profligacy of what our government spends on the military. The Department of Defense's planned expenditures for the fiscal year 2008 are larger than all other nations' military budgets combined. The supplementary budget to pay for the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, not part of the official defense budget, is itself larger than the combined military budgets of Russia and China. Defense-related spending for fiscal 2008 will exceed $1 trillion for the first time in history. The U.S. has become the largest single seller of arms and munitions to other nations on Earth. Leaving out President Bush's two on-going wars, defense spending has doubled since the mid-1990s. The defense budget for fiscal 2008 is the largest since the second world war.

"Good News," Iraq & Beyond, Part 1
Both Parties well to the right of the population on major issues
April, 02 2008 By Noam Chomsky


 




 

The December 2007 report did not mention other good news: Iraqis appear to accept the highest values of Americans, which should be gratifying. Specifically, they accept the principles of the Nuremberg Tribunal that sentenced Nazi war criminals to hanging for such crimes as supporting aggression and preemptive war—the main charge against Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop, whose position in the Nazi regime corresponded to that of Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. The Tribunal defined aggression clearly enough: "invasion of its armed forces" by one state "of the territory of another state." The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan are textbook examples, if words have meaning. The Tribunal went on to define aggression as "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." In the case of Iraq, the murderous sectarian violence and ethnic cleansing, the destruction of the national culture and the irreplaceable treasures of the origins of Western civilization under the eyes of "stuff happens"-Rumsfeld and his associates, and every other crime and atrocity as the inheritors of the Mongols have followed the path of imperial Japan.



 






Since Iraqis attribute the accumulated evil of the whole primarily to the invasion, it follows that they accept the core principle of Nuremberg. Presumably, they were not asked whether their acceptance of American values extended to the conclusion of the chief prosecutor for the United States, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who forcefully insisted that the Tribunal would be mere farce if we do not apply its principles to ourselves. 



 


Needless to say, U.S. elite opinion, shared with the West generally, flatly rejects the lofty American values professed at Nuremberg, indeed regards them as bordering on obscene. All of this provides an instructive illustration of some of the reality that lies behind the famous "clash of civilizations." 



 


A January poll by World Learning/Aspen Institute found that "75 percent of Americans believe U.S. foreign policy is driving dissatisfaction with America abroad and more than 60 percent believe that dislike of American values (39 percent) and of the American people (26 percent) is also to blame." The perception is inaccurate, fed by propaganda. There is little dislike of Americans, and dissatisfaction abroad does not derive from "dislike of American values," but rather from acceptance of these values and recognition that they are rejected by the U.S. government and elite opinion


 



How about two reminders?


A:


http://www.amazon.com/Crime-Punishment-I-G-Farben/dp/0029046300




 

“The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy – gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.”



“Conditions were such that sickness was a pervasive fact of life among the inhabitants of Monowitz. The hospital wards built by I.G. were so inadequate that even the S.S. suggested additional wards be built. I.G. refused because of the cost.”
 
The modern equivalent could be Halliburton (the new I.G. Farben) rebuilding hospitals in Iraq while Blackwater (The New S.S.) express concern for the lack of progress.

As a society, we do not let murderers go free, for experience shows they will murder again. Under a system of equal justice, when physical and circumstantial evidence indicates a person has committed a crime, he or she is indicted and brought before a jury. So it should be: one rule of law for all.

Forgetting is not a good way to insure survival, hence the reminders.


Back to "Good News" by Chomskey


 


The opinions of Americans on this issue too are not regarded as worthy of consideration; they are not options for candidates or commentators. They were apparently not even reported, perhaps considered too dangerous because of what they reveal about the "democratic deficit" in the United States and about the extremism of the political class across the spectrum. If public opinion were to be mentioned as an option, it would be ridiculed as "politically impossible"; or perhaps offered as another reason why "The public must be put in its place," as Lippmann sternly admonished. 


 


In a free press, all of these matters, and many more like them, would merit regular prominent headlines and in-depth analysis.

Part II


 



In brief, Iraq must agree to allow permanent U.S. military installations (called "enduring" in the preferred Orwellism), grant the U.S. the right to conduct combat operations freely, and ensure U.S. control over the oil resources of Iraq while privileging U.S. investors. It is of some interest that these reports did not influence discussion about the reasons for the U.S. invasion of Iraq. These were never obscure, but any effort to spell them out was dismissed with falsification and ridicule. Now the reasons are openly conceded, eliciting no retraction or even reflection.


 



Events elsewhere in early 2008 might also turn out to be "good news" for Washington. In January, in a remarkable act of courageous civil disobedience, tens of thousands of the tortured people of Gaza broke out of the prison to which they had been confined by the U.S.-Israel alliance (with the usual timid European support) as punishment for the crime of voting the wrong way in a free election in January 2006. It was instructive to see the front pages with stories reporting the brutal U.S. response to a genuinely free election alongside others lauding the Bush administration for its noble dedication to "democracy promotion" or sometimes gently chiding it because it was going too far in its idealism, failing to recognize that the unpeople of the Middle East are too backward to appreciate democracy—another principle that traces back to "Wilsonian idealism."

This chapter serves the economics guild in much the same way that the local altar to the emperor's genius served Rome. Every adult resident of the empire had to publicly worship the State by placing a pinch of incense on this altar. To refuse was to risk a death sentence. Similarly, any economics textbook author who does not toss a pinch of incense on the altar of the Federal Reserve System assures himself of publication death. His manuscript will be rejected. In the New Testament's terminology, you either make peace with the Beast, or else you are consigned to outer darkness by the guild.

AIPAC should not be crossed. It rewards those who support its agenda, and punishes those who don't. In the end, it's all about money - specifically campaign contributions. From 2000 to 2004, according to the Washington Post, AIPAC honchos contributed an average of $72,000 each to campaigns and political committees. For pro-AIPAC politicians, money simply pours from all over the US.

A former high-ranking member of the CIA, now retired, who was a career employee, contacted us this week. Due to our reporting on Halliburton and their corruption we were given 46 pages of testimony on how Halliburton, the CIA, the Pentagon and Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have been stealing billions of dollars. What we were presented will shortly be presented to Congressman Waxman's Oversight and Reform Committee in the House. These pages of step-by-step criminal procedure are only part of a larger body of evidence being presented to Congress. What is presented is astounding in the scope of the crime and the billions of dollars being stolen by these criminals.

The Feasibility program and laboratories were to have been completed by 1974 - 1975 and the virus between 1974 - 1979. The WHO started to inject AIDS - laced smallpox vaccine (Vaccina) into over 100 million Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young white male homosexuals (Operation Trojan Horse) were injected with laced Hepatitis B vaccine in 1978 through the Centers for Disease Control and the New York Blood Center. The development of the virus apparently had a dual purpose: (1) As a political / ethnic weapon to be used against black individuals and (2) one of the programmed efforts at de-population.

The session of the Subcommittee that took place on July 1, 1969 involved discussions about Synthetic Biological Agents. Part of the congressional narrative (from HB 15090) is detailed below:

War profiteering
While George Bush remains in the White House, it is unlikely the gagging orders will be lifted.
To date, no major US contractor faces trial for fraud or mismanagement in Iraq.
The president's Democrat opponents are keeping up the pressure over war profiteering in Iraq.
Henry Waxman who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said: "The money that's gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, its egregious.
"It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history."
In the run-up to the invasion one of the most senior officials in charge of procurement in the Pentagon objected to a contract potentially worth seven billion that was given to Halliburton, a Texan company, which used to be run by Dick Cheney before he became vice-president.
Unusually only Halliburton got to bid - and won.
Missing billions
The search for the missing billions also led the programme to a house in Acton in West London where Hazem Shalaan lived until he was appointed to the new Iraqi government as minister of defence in 2004.

Scott Loper, a U.S. citizen living in Canada, was a good cop, highly trained in surveillance and criminal investigation.

On the verge of exposing a police-run narcotics ring in Durham, Ontario, Loper was discovered by the ring and imprisoned for four years on extorted charges. There, he was tortured to the point where he often questioned his ability to make it out alive.

Those he had been about to expose were after the evidence - audio and video recordings Loper had made of their illegal operations. They also wanted him to keep quiet.

In 1928, thousands of United Fruit workers went on strike, demanding a six-day work week, an eight-hour day, medical care, and payment in real money, rather than company scrip that could only be spent at the company store. They demonstrated peacefully in a town square. After a five-minute warning, the United Fruit-controlled Colombian government's military opened up with machine guns, killing an unknown number. United Fruit itself estimates at least 1,000 were killed, but the real extent of the massacre will never be known, since most of the bodies were probably dumped in the sea and buried deep in the forest. In other words, the incident was covered up.

That's the political story unfolding in Washington, as Democrats fire up their latest round of "torture" hearings. Prevented from trying to impeach President Bush by cooler heads, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers has resorted to issuing subpoenas to assail current and former officials for allowing aggressive interrogations of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other murderers. About 60 Democrats, including Mr. Conyers, are demanding that Attorney General Michael Mukasey appoint a "special prosecutor" to investigate.

Some U.S. officials implicated in the Iran-Contra propaganda operations are still around, bringing the lessons of the 1980s into the new century.

For instance, Elliott Abrams. Though convicted of misleading Congress in the Iran-Contra Affair and later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush – Abrams is now deputy adviser to George W. Bush’s NSC, where he directs U.S.-Middle East policy.

Bob Kagan remains another prominent neocon theorist in Washington, writing op-eds for the Washington Post. Oliver North was given a news show on Fox.

Otto Reich now is advising Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Latin American affairs. Lee Hamilton is a senior national security adviser to Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Enduring Skills

Beyond these individuals, the manipulative techniques that were refined in the 1980s – especially the skill of exaggerating foreign threats – have proved durable, bringing large segments of the American population into line behind the Iraq War in 2002-03.

Only now – with more than 4,100 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead – are many of these Americans realizing that were manipulated by clever propaganda, that their perceptions had been managed.

For instance, the New York Times recently pried loose some 8,000 pages of Pentagon documents revealing how the Bush administration had manipulated the public debate on the Iraq War by planting friendly retired military officers on TV news shows.

Retired Green Beret Robert S. Bevelacqua, a former analyst on Murdoch’s Fox News, said the Pentagon treated the retired military officers as puppets: “It was them saying, ‘we need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.’” [NYT, April 20, 2008, or see Consortiumnews.com’s “US News Media’s Latest Disgrace.”]

Bush’s former White House press secretary Scott McClellan described similar use of propaganda tactics to justify the Iraq War in his book, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.

The decades-long quest for military-enforced dominance of geopolitical affairs has been both producer and product of this ravenous system. And now, the war machine is pretty much the only thing left. It has eaten all our seed corn, and must keep prowling constantly in foreign lands to feast on the resources of others. So war and the ever-present threat of war will continue to be the driving forces of American policy, at home and abroad, both in the public and private sectors – because that's where the money is. Big money, gargantuan money, money out the wazoo. And what's more, it's free money – because most of it comes from the taxpayers, through insider sweetheart deals that very often guarantee profits for the crony contractor. No muss, no fuss, no risk – just gravy.

Take oil and petroleum out of the energy equation and replace it with a locally produced, locally controlled, ecological, economical, renewable resource and what happens?

95% of the world's structural problems melt away.

No more oil wars. No more money leaving our country by the hundreds of billions. No more ecological devastation related to fuel production. Greatly reduced carcinogens.

But oil is necessary for our lifestyle, right?

If it's not, how did we get hooked on oil in the first place?

History tells us the US went from whale oil to kerosene for lamps courtesy of the ingenuity of John Rockefeller and Standard Oil.

It also tells us that gasoline and diesel made from oil and was the only practical source of fuel for motor vehicles (cars, trucks, buses and tractors.) Still is, so they say.

But think about something for a moment.

Prohibition was the total ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US from 1919 to 1933.

We accept it as a force of nature and never examine it.

"Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most
corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed.

The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation's debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.

This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the mal-administration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it."

HUGO CHAVEZ INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR PEACE, FRIENDSHIP AND SOLIDARITY

HCI-FPFS

Subject: "THE US COVERT WARS AGAINST VENEZUELA".

PUBLIC RELEASE REJOINDER:       DATE: 22 September, 2008.

Since the US failed coup to overthrow the democratically elected and constitutionally arranged Government of the people of Venezuela in 2002, there has been concerted efforts by the hoaxed in Washington to destabilise Venezuela and change its status quo to a « trust territory » under US/Western imperialism. Washington and its allies seek also the murder of President Hugo Chavez.

Since the Venezuelan leader is as peaceful, just, honest and transparent as a white whistle, and unlike willing tools in the Americans and other parts of the world, President Hugo Chavez has no skeleton in the closet; the neo-cons however, have resorted to all kinds of dirty tricks in their zeal to demonise the Bolivarian Leader.

It is true that what is happening in Venezuela today, under the charismatic leadership of President Hugo Chavez, the development and dazzling changes-dividends of the « Bolivarian Alternative »-touch the nerve of the US and its Western European underdogs. The US and its allies' special hatreds for Venezuela are driven not by the interests of peace, democracy, rule of law, freedom or the universal values of human dignity as they often claim to champion world wide. The US/Western anti-Venezuelan alliance is disturbed because, the Venezuelan people have through peaceful, honest, and transparent, democratic and all participatory elections elected a just Government and have rallied behind their elected leaders against the evils of foreign criminal adventurism. Besides, the Chavez Government has proven beyond all doubts that it cannot be bought against the very Venezuelan people that he represents locally and internationally. The Government of Venezuela is
hated because it has proven that it has the moral courage to expose the ills and underbelly of imperialism, and its dirty tricks, oppression, indignities, heinous racism, environmental destruction and merciless plunder of the world's resources.

It is on record that the US/Western unholy alliance misuse international instruments to commit genocide and other heinous crimes against humanity when and where they so wish, and most importantly they manufacture terrible lies, deceptions and manipulate the media to achieve vicious aims. The juggernaut against the Government of Venezuela is driven by some powerful interests that converge on destabilisation and political convulsion in Latin America: "to protect the economic stranglehold of big businesses and the geopolitical interests of the imperialists".

It has now become laughable and a ritual that not a second, minute, hour, day or week would pass without the US/Western imperialists having no spurious lie, slander, vilification or dubious stories to tailor and fit on Venezuela and its democratically elected Government, led by President Hugo Chavez. From dubious claims that President Hugo Chavez is a dictator, constitution breaker, supporter of terrorism to mismanagement of state resources », the imperialists are run from pole to post in their zealous attempt to taint the image and integrity of President Chavez.

Evidence of the popularity of President Hugo Chavez as a just, honest and progressive leader abounds in every corner of the world. What the enemies of the Venezuelan people cannot ignore or stop is that, at any time a lie is imagined or manufactured to demonise the personality and integrity of President Chavez, the more the people world over grows to like the Venezuelan leader. It is therefore possible to understand that the growing popularity of the Venezuelan leader amongst the marginalised, disenfranchised, poverty-stricken, isolated and poor masses of the people has greatly impacted Washington and its allies.

In its unending smear attacks and witch-hunt campaign against the democratically elected Government of Venezuela, the US piles advantage upon advantage: « the availability of narcotic drugs' proceeds ; the service of propaganda specialists and liars ; the control and manipulation of the corporate print and electronic media cartels around the world ; abusing international law with impunity and military might over Venezuela". But the power of the Government of Venezuela lies in the honesty and its courageous commitment to serving its people, and not given to the US false propaganda campaign.

As far as the imperialists are concerned, their dirty propaganda tricks against President Hugo Chavez and his elected Government goes everywhere through the corrupt media, while their access and control of modern communication technology, the Internet enables their anti-Venezuelan smear campaign to reach a sizeable audience around the world, irrespective of the lies, deceptions and intrigues associated with such propaganda machinery.

All major newspapers, magazines, orbiting satellites, television networks and book publishing houses in the United States and Western Europe are influenced by Governments' news conferences, press briefings and press releases. Unfortunately, none of these media houses has attempted to visit Venezuela to ascertain for themselves independently the truth and reality as well as the mood of the people on the ground. It comes to say now that the imperialist's propaganda and information disseminated to the public about Venezuela are full of well-tailored lies, imaginations and deceptions, reminiscent of Hitler's propaganda machinery.

The US/Western allies also continue to manipulate opposition political parties' leaders in Venezuela, and hiring local criminal gangs to breach public peace and security; and to undermine the credibility of the Chavez Government. The recent attempt by fascist settlers' oligarchy bandwagon to own two of the rich regions of Venezuela at the exclusion and tears of the masses bear testimony to the seditious agenda pursued by the imperialists toward the Latin American nation. There are also a few, misled and corrupted students who supposed to consider themselves future leaders have rather have chosen to become thugs for the US led anti-Venezuelan agenda. Needless to repeat again and again the role of religious leaders who have associated themselves with the spurious activities of the neo-cons in Washington, to destabilise Venezuela and the entire Latin America.

On top of these ill-fated policies and conspiracy theories, the US and its allies have now taken the anti-Venezuelan campaign across the Atlantic, mostly to Africa, where US and Western European foreign and diplomatic missions have been converged to propaganda premises for spreading spurious lies, false stories and character assassination literature against President Hugo Chavez and his elected Government. With all the talking, broadcasts, news bulletins, editorials, Op-Eds, adverts, intimidation, threats, insults, blackmail and deliberate misrepresentation, the popularity of President Chavez continues to grow each by the passing second, minute, hour, day and week. One thing which is clear, the people of Venezuela and across Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa know the truth and are not willing this time around to buy US/western imperialists' wholesale lies and deceptions.

1.      IS THE GOVERNMENT OF VENEZUELA A DICTATORSHIP?

The answer is NO.

The real motive for the US to invent this dirty propaganda against the constitutionally and democratically elected Government of President Hugo Chavez is to distort facts and mislead public opinion. The centrepiece objective of US dirty propaganda against the Government of Venezuela is to inflict damage to the conscience of the Venezuelan people who voted for the Government of President Chavez to lead their country.

The people of Venezuela are satisfied with their leaders, and have not complained or asked any body to judge on the character of their elected Government. The truth, which no one has ever disproved, is that, the Government of President Hugo Chavez was elected through free, honest, democratic and transparent elections. Unlike the US government of President George Bush which came to power by subverting the rights and votes of the American people in Florida, the regime in Caracas is a just, legitimate, honest and transparent Administration led by a responsible, responsive and caring leader. Besides, Venezuela under Hugo Chavez has organised more democratic elections than anywhere, and more so, the Bolivarian leader does not make decisions on his own without approval of the elected Legislature. In other words, the policies, decisions and activities of the Government of Venezuela are strictly in line with the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Referring to the free, transparent, honest and democratic choice of the Venezuelan people as a dictatorship is even more stupid in light of the policies of political assassination, of unilateral aggressions, of forceful imposition, and of worshipping Sheikhdoms in the Middle East, which are promoted by the US and allies are more akin to the fascist agenda of Hitler than what the prophets of doom could imagined about the Chavez Government. Venezuela under President Hugo Chavez respects the democratic rights and freedoms of the people of Venezuela and other nations of the world, and harbours no grudge, hatred or malice towards any country.

What the US and allies have deliberately ignored is that their "darling Sheikhdoms" in the Middle East are unrivalled and unchallenged dictators. These Kingdoms, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Jordan have complete monopoly of power over their people, and control all branches of government, and indeed the entirety of their societies.

These US and allies stand guilty and indicted for promoting subversive activities against legitimate Governments around the world. Because, these governments are not only responsive to their people, but are not willing to become tools of oppression and dehumanisation of their people. The situation in Haiti is only a tip of the iceberg where these trigger characters helped to create the mess in which the Caribbean nation finds itself today. The US and allies are challenged to tell the international public what is dictatorship and who are the real dictatorship? Who are the real oppressors of the people? Who are the looters of resources? If the US and allies think President Hugo Chavez is another Perez Jimenez in Latin America, and then they are fooling themselves.


2.      DOES THE GOVERNMENT OF VENEZUELA HAVE LINKS WITH TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS?

The Bolivarian Republic as the name appears is a replica of the great liberator, Simon Bolivar, whose ideas George Washington admired so much. The Government of Venezuela has nothing to do with anything that concerns terrorism. What President Hugo Chavez stands for and practising concerns the interests of the Venezuelan people. The President is concerned also with peace, security, stability and progress of the world, and not international militarism, illegal occupation, promoting the illicit trade in narcotic drugs, or the ruthless pillage of the world's resources, which are the major sources of terrorism everywhere today.

President Chavez has time and again disproved this nasty propaganda against his Government in national, regional and international gatherings. The President has reiterated his Government's peaceful, honest and humane foreign policy towards neighbouring countries and the rest of the world. He has made it emphatically clear that Venezuela is anxious to establish friendship and harmonious diplomatic ties with all countries of the world that love peace, democracy, respect human rights and rule of law, freedom and the universally recognised values of human dignity.

Based on the above, the Venezuelan Government has continued its efforts by encouraging dialogue and peaceful settlement to the conflicts around the world, and offers to help in that direction of asked. Besides, President Chavez has made history by laying the foundation for the return of peace to his neighbours in Colombia, and condemned any attempt by any group anywhere to win power outside the ballot box.  He has also condemned and complained bitterly to the international community, through the United Nations and Organisation of American States (OAS) about the US coordinated efforts to destabilise his country; about the US government's massive support for paramilitary coup attempts and dirty propaganda offensive against the Venezuelan people.

To link the Government of Venezuela to terrorist groups is not only ungodly, but absolutely rubbish. President Hugo Chavez has long emphasize the danger to establish links with international criminal or terrorist Organisations such as the Mafia, the US/NATO designed UCK/KLA in the Balkans, the re-grouped Contras in Nicaragua, etc and has distanced his Government from the guerrilla campaign led by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in Colombia. The President has urged also the Para-military group, FARC to do everything, including let go free all the hostages under its captivity, laying down their weapons and abandoning the guerrilla campaign, and joining the democratic path in the interest of peace, stability and progress.

Since its inception in 1999, the elected Government of President Hugo Chavez has never indulged or caught indulging in meddling in the internal affairs of another sovereign nation, except on humanitarian reasons. It poses any threat to none, and has no territorial ambition beyond the borders of Venezuela.

The discovery of the so-called lap top computers during the brutal aggression on Ecuador in March, by US/Alvaro Uribe's forces of aggression does not surface here. Suffice it to say that the unholy alliance between the US and the comprador government of President Alvaro Uribe in Colombia poses unprecedented threats and dangers in Latin America.

3.      DOES THE GOVERNMENT OF VENEZUELA MISMANAGE THE WEALTH OF THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE?

The answer, in a nutshell, is big NO!

The US and allies falsely alleged that the Chavez Government mismanages the wealth of Venezuela. Those familiar with the situation in Venezuela are not surprised at this latest attempt to manufacture scandal and damage President Chavez reputation. Every time something new is being designed by the corporate media, each time with abundant misguided beliefs, unfounded allegations and outright ill-conceived stories.

Sadly, the media is not bothered to find out the truth because they know where their bread is buttered. When such accusations are designed and repeated again and again, no one willing to buy the nonsense. What we know, and which reflects the truth on the ground is that, the Chavez Government does not give room for robbing the wealth of the Venezuelan people to keep fat private bank accounts overseas. The US and allies would not accept the truth that the program and policies initiated by the Government of President Chavez, such as love for one another; equal protection and opportunity; self-determination; promoting and defending the noble rights and freedoms of the poor and needy; fair distribution of wealth and resources; popular participation and democratic redistribution of land for development purposes are beginning to score the target goals.

The vexed issue is not about morality, but about the domestication process going on in Venezuela today, and which the imperialists see as a blow to their dependency syndrome. The irony and in deed tragedy is that, the US and allies who advocate freedom worldwide, so shamelessly advance indignity and dehumanisation in Venezuela in order to resuscitate the status quo in the service of their wicked, oppressive, cancerous and supremacist agenda for Latin America.

The people of Venezuela had long lived under harsh conditions of hegemonic oligarchy dictatorship, brutal poverty, economic deprivation, conscious apartheid, alienation, want and bitter tastes. But to today, under President Hugo Chavez, the situation is fast changing for the happiness of the Venezuelan people everywhere on the globe. Real freedom and dignity have replaced the shackles of imperialism, oppression, greed, degradation and dehumanisation.

The wealth of Venezuela belongs to the Venezuelan people. And since the Venezuelan people voted for President Chavez to lead them, it is natural that the policies pursued by the Government in Caracas reflect the wish and aspiration of the Venezuelan people. President Chavez is doing just that, empowering the Venezuelan people economically and politically so that they no longer see themselves as beggars in their own country, but as planners of the future direction of Venezuela. If the US and allies have any evidence to back their accusation, let them bring them forward for clarity. We know they have none but only manufactured lies, deceptions and misguided stories. They can't show any evidence, all that they are doing is simply defamation. The real looters of state coffers are President George Bush and his under dogs in Washington and Europe, who have spent three trillion US dollars to unleash genocide and terror on mankind, in their desperate efforts
to have control over the oil in Iraq and cultivation of the poppy plantations in Afghanistan.

For us in the Hugo Chavez International Foundation for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS), we believe and support the Government of President Chavez. We are behind the Venezuelan people's unified support for their democratically elected leader and his policies, such as land reform, strengthening unions, redistribute wealth, nationalise foreign owned industry, and regulate business to protect workers, consumers and the environment.

This Public Release Rejoinder from the Hugo Chavez International Foundation for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS) addresses once and for all, the US false, deceptive and dirty narcotic-drugs propaganda campaign directed at smearing the personality and integrity of President Hugo Chavez, which has become centre of attraction in the corporate media. Those familiar with US foreign policy will agree that Washington is in the habit of looking for cheap chances to hide the very evils it unleashed and helped to unleash around the world. The US government has unabashedly continues to recycle its dubious accusations against President Chavez and his democratically elected Government, with the connivance of intellectual prostitutes in the media.

Only recently, on August 22, 2008 that the US government's drug Czar, John Walter, in his routine attempt to mislead the public and turn attention away from domestic political mess lied that the Venezuelan Government under President Hugo Chavez does not cooperate with Washington in what he called fight against drugs. When such fallacious, ridiculous, baseless and unfounded claims and false alarm are repeatedly cycled by the hoaxed in Washington one can only shrug it off as rubbish, and should be thrown to the dustbin. And more importantly, when these evil-minded claims received front-page headlines or editorial comments in the media, one wonders why journalism has degenerated to serving as Trojan Horse to neo-cons. This has warranted provocation from many quarters that credible information and morality in news coverage has practically disappeared in the print and electronic media, and thereby turning the once admired profession into a public scorn and
ridicule.

What is disturbing mostly in this anti-Venezuelan smear campaign is the one-sided media coverage in favour of the US terrorism against countries that are not willing to pawn their dignity and integrity to the manipulative mechanism of imperialism. How would the media parrot the US false accusations against the Government of Venezuela and simultaneously defending each and every act of gruesome terrorism and gross violation of human rights and international moral laws and principles by NAO in former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, on the African soil, etc.

How is it that the media stands to justify genocide, terrorism and militarism; to whitewash race cleansing and to canonise a megalomaniac regime. How is it that the media has refused to condemn for instance US/NATO aggression against the people of Iraq? The lesson the world has learnt from US President George Bush's much rhetoric talk of war on terror is that terrorism can be condoned and even encouraged if it is committed by Israel against its neighbours, or the US/NATO against nations around the world. Here lies the conflict between the US and Venezuela on combating terrorism. While the US and its allies believe they have the right or possess the licence to unleash the evil at will, the Chavez Government stands to oppose vehemently terrorism and all its vestiges any where on the global village.

Before attempting to clear the mess on Washington's latest salvo to smear President Chavez, the false accusation that the Chavez Government condones the illicit trade and underhand deals in narcotic drugs, let us know first the drugs networking around the world and its chain of operation.

Students of history who have followed the trail of forces indulged in the illicit trade in narcotic drugs know that the principal drug dealers the world over are the intelligence/security services. The Iran-Contra deal of the 1980s is there as an example when the White House under Ronald Reagan and George Bush Snr. actively collaborated with the Contras of Nicaragua to import cocaine into the US for sale to the citizens and the proceeds used to buy weapons to arm the Contras against the legitimate government of Nicaragua. The airport that was used by the merchants of death was Mena in Arkansas at a time when Bill Clinton was governor.

Prior to that, we were told that the US invaded Vietnam ostensibly to stop the spread of the evils of communism and instead bring the good news of democracy and all those deceptive words that do not mean anything to the poor Vietnamese who were daily bombarded by napalm and Agent Orange. Now the whole world is awake to the fact that the Vietnam war was a coordinated plot to protect the drug Czars of South Vietnam – Nguyen Cao Ky and the like while CIA cargo planes routinely flew heroin into the inner cities of America to be consumed by the youth.

The end of the war came about when Kissinger and the Chinese reached an agreement whereby the renegade soldiers will use the new supply route through China and export the heroin to the US. The Chinese, not to be undone also cultivated their acres of poppy and that marked the beginning of China's rise to world prosperity.

Long before the Vietnam War, there was the Opium Wars of China when the British declared war on the Chinese who have refused to buy and consume opium that was being forced on them. At the end of the war, the Chinese had to pay compensation to the British in addition to handing over Hong Kong to them. Hong Kong then became the headquarters of the drug business while the famous Hong Kong Shangai Banking Corporation, HSBC, was used to launder the illegal proceeds.

What does the state stands to gain from the drug business?

It is an undeniable fact that governments are involved in this business for various reasons. One is to make tons of money which will be used to bribe and corrupt the body politic, secondly to get as many people as possible addicted to the stuff and so will be easier to manipulate and thirdly as extra source of money for the intelligence services to perform their so-called duties without any auditor raising a query.

From the foregoing, one can understand the presence of so-called NATO forces in Afghanistan who we have been made to believe are there to stop the Taliban or Al Qaida from spreading their 'poisonous' message to other Moslems.

But we all can remember very vividly that under the Taliban, the cultivation of the poppy plant, the source of opium for the manufacture of heroin was almost wiped out. But since George Bush and his liberation fighters entered that country, seven years ago, opium production has risen by more than 300 per cent according to UN estimates. The government of Hamid Karzai is not interested in stopping the trade likewise the Bush government who are reaping the reward.

Closer home, in West Africa, and in Ghana particular, a ship loaded with bags of cocaine was able to evade all detection and surveillance and entered the Tema port to offload the dangerous cargo which then vanished into the streets to be sniffed by the unlucky who have been lured into this dangerous game. The government was not interested in finding out the truth and so set up a committee without any power to investigate anything and in the end the cocaine was not found, no-one was arrested and everybody is singing happily on the streets of Accra. Not even the Inspector General of Police whose close friend and business associate was linked to the trade was made to resign. Instead he has been given a state award for services to the nation.

The man government claimed was behind the importation, a cripple called Limping Man has vanished into thin air like a ghost and has been declared wanted, so much for the preservation of law and order and the rule of law. The situation is the same in Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Senegal and Mauritania (under the narco-military junta).

In Sierra Leone's case, a lot of questions needed to be asked: how could a plane violate that country's airspace, land at the airport and the crew disembarking without as much as a challenge from the airport security whether they are policemen or soldiers. Somebody has to answer the question.

For the uninformed, usage of these drugs has become so widespread and the addicts (junkies) are increasing in geometrical proportions. The users are not just from the bottom of the social strata but include members of the established families and moneyed classes as well. One should not be surprised to find some of the users as children of ministers past and present, dead and alive, retired army officers and privates, men considered as pillars of the society such as pastors or the users are bankers, journalists, fishermen, teachers, drivers, civil and public servants, self employed or ordinary folks like any one else, the educated and illiterate alike; men and women each getting high on his favourite stuff while the daring go for the cocktail.

What is cocaine? What is heroin and what are their uses? Who are behind the world drug trade and for what purpose?

Answers to these and other questions will the public an insight into the forces that a genuine war on drugs should target if we are to combat the menace in our societies. These very addictive substances are imported today into many African countries, from Asia and South America for onward transhipment to Europe by the ruling elite who use the intelligence agencies for this purpose as part of the grand agenda of world manipulation and domination. The case of the Opium Wars in China in 1840 and 1845 (when the Chinese tried to stop the importation of that addictive substance from which heroin is manufactured into their country) is very instructive.

For that attempt, the fury of the armed forces of the British Empire was unleashed on them. The British Prime Minister then was Lord Palmerstone and the vehicle for this trade was the East India Company owned by some Scottish merchants aligned with the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) (See 'The World Order, Our Secret Rulers', p279).

The strategy was to sponsor mass addiction to opium until the Chinese society was torn asunder for a society that is half-asleep and nodding all the time from the effect of heroin addiction will be easier to control and exploit than a conscious one. The Treaty of Nanking (1842) signed after the Chinese defeat guaranteed the British the right to increase the inflow of opium into China, compensation for the drugs confiscated by the Chinese authorities and sovereignty over offshore islands and strategic ports in addition to $21m in silver. Thus Britain took over Hong Kong, which has since served as the center of the Far East drug trade as most of the gold and money transactions on the Hong Kong financial markets are the pay-offs and money laundering of the drug trade.

Basil Lubbock in 'The Opium Clippers' named the owners of the British vessels involved in the opium trade as the East India Company; Jadine Matheson; Dent and Co; Pybus Bros; King George IV among others. At the end of the second Opium War (1860) the British merchant banks and trading companies set up the Hong Kong and Shanghai Corporation, HSBC, as the central bank of the Far East drug trade and continues till today. (See 'State Organised Crime' address by William J. Chambliss to the American Society of Criminology, 1988.)

Other banks like Nugan Hand Bank of Sydney, Australia run by Francis Nugan and Michael Hand, a Green Beret and a colonel in the US Army assigned to the CIA were soon to follow. Some of the principal officers of Nugan Hand were Admiral Earl Yates, President, (chief of staff, strategic planning, US forces in Asia and the Pacific during the Vietnam War); Gen. Edwin Black, president of Hawaii Branch (commander of US troops in Thailand during the Vietnam War); George Farris of the Washington and Hong Kong branches, (a military intelligence specialist); Bernie Houghton, the Saudi Arabia representative, (US Naval Intelligence undercover agent); Thomas Cline, of Nugan Hand, London, (director of training in the CIA's clandestine services who was involved in Iran-Contra and operated with Michael Hand and Theodore Shackley in Vietnam) while the bank's lawyer was William Colby, a former director of the CIA.

A director was Donald Beasley who was chairman of City National Bank of Miami, which handled funds for the Anti-Defamation League, the pro-Israeli lobby group in America. An Australian government investigation revealed that millions of funds in Nugan Hand records were unaccounted for and that it was a drug money laundering operation for drug traffickers and the profits used by the CIA to finance covert operations around the world. (See 'Defrauding America, A Pattern Of Related Scandals' by Rodney Stitch). Banks with household names around the world are therefore involved in drug money laundering as it passes from one account to another until its origins become obscure.

The gold and diamond business owned by the Rothschild and Oppenheim through DeBeers play a very useful role as the money is used to buy gold and diamond that is later sold to 'clean' the money. But who are behind the drug business worldwide? According to James Casbolt, a former MI6 agent the global drug trade is controlled and run by the intelligence agencies worldwide with the British intelligence as the overlords. Casbolt claimed to have worked for MI6 in 'black ops' cocaine trafficking with the IRA and MOSSAD (Israeli intelligence outfit) in London and Brighton between 1995 and 1999 while his father, Peter Casbolt also worked with the MI6, the CIA and mafia in Rome, trafficking cocaine into Britain.

It has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the CIA has been bringing in most of the drugs into America for the last fifty years (see ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer Michael Rupert's 'From the wilderness' website for proof). For example, Alfred McCoy in 'The Politics Of Heroin In South East Asia' and it's update 'The Politics Of Heroin – CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade' tells of how the CIA actively participated in ferrying the drugs from the production to distribution points while the American public was deluded into thinking they were 'fighting communism' during the Vietnam War. CIA operative Gunthar Russbacher also spoke of how some bodies carrying secret codes were filled with drugs, which allow for their easy identification when they arrive at airbases in America especially the Travis Air Force Base in California. The drugs are then removed and made available to the youth of America.

The Triads, the Far East mafia that has organized the production of heroin in the Golden Triangle, and Freemasons still control the Far East narcotics trade through their various agents. The Chinese ruler before communism was Chiang Kai Shek, a member of the Triads while the Communist leader who removed him was Mao Tse Tung, a Grand Orient Freemason (see 'Scarlet And The Beast', pp33/35.). Under him, the British were allowed the continued use of Hong Kong and by 1983; the Communist Chinese had developed and cultivated nine million acres of poppy that has been the foundation for the take-off of the Chinese economy same as it has been for the Western economy. Without the drug money, the world economy would collapse as it has become so dependent on the income and investment produced by the destruction of human life.

The Chinese involvement begun as the infamous Vietnam War was coming to an end and the heroin supply chain from that country to America was likely to be cut off forcing late US President Richard Nixon to establish diplomatic relations with China and hence the opening of the Yunan Province in China as a route for heroin produced by the CIA-backed Shang and Kali 'insurgents' in the Burma-Thailand-Vietnam (Golden Triangle) area to export their produce through the communist mainland.

The ruling classes are involved in drugs for three main reasons. First to make billions of dollars a year to finance covert operations worldwide and undermine elected governments that do not follow the New World Order agenda. The money is used to fund the One World agenda, which essentially is to breakdown societies as drug addicts can never be a problem to the ruling elite. Violence and crime always follow the drug trade as dealers battle for supremacy and addicts mug and steal to finance their habit.

Secondly the issue of drugs also produces such a reaction of 'something must be done' that many will be willing to cede some of their rights and freedoms to enable the state 'do something' to stop the supply – gradual erosion of freedoms and interference in the affairs of other countries. Thirdly: if you want to divide, rule and stop a people from manifesting their true worth; get them addicted to drugs and as pointed out earlier, a people half-asleep and nodding all the time will be easier to manipulate.

Anytime one hears of a big drug bust it is normally the elite eliminating the competition and giving an impression of action. On the local front, the profit from the narcotics trade could be used to buy politicians and law enforcement officials.

This global drugs trade controlled by British intelligence is worth at least £500 billion a year, more than the global oil trade and the economy in Britain and America is totally dependent on this drug money. Mafia crime boss John Gotti, on trial for drug related charges exposed the situation when asked in court if he was involved in drug trafficking. He replied, "No, we can't compete with the government."

In Britain, the MI6 drug money is laundered through the Bank of England, Barclays Bank and other household name companies. The drug money is passed from account to account until its origins are lost in a huge web of transactions. The drug money comes out 'cleaner' but not totally clean and as pointed out above, is then used to buy gold and diamond.

In 1978, MI6 and the CIA researched into the effects of smoking 'basuco' cocaine paste in South America. This has the same effect as crack cocaine and saw that the strength and addiction potential was far greater than ordinary cocaine and created crack cocaine from the basuco formula. MI6 and the CIA then flooded Britain and America with crack. By 1980, the effects of the crack cocaine epidemic began to manifest on the streets of the two countries.

The intelligence agencies have always used addictive drugs as a weapon against the masses to bring in their long term plan for a one world government, a one world police force designed to be NATO and a micro chipped population known as the New World Order. George Bush, Snr, former President and former head of the CIA and America's leading drug baron who has fronted more wars on drugs than any other president which in reality is just a method to eliminate competition. (See 'Dark Alliance' by investigative journalist Gary Webb. Webb was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the back of his head with a revolver. The case was declared a 'suicide').

Another evidence of top-level official involvement in the drug business is from the US. According to the Mad Cow Morning News in its 20 April 2006 issue one of the two owners of a DC9 (tail number N900SA) busted at an airport in the Yucatan the previous week after coming in from Caracas, Venezuela carrying an astonishing 5.5 tons of cocaine was appointed in 1993 to the Business Advisory Council of the US National Republican Congressional Committee by then Congressional Majority Leader Tom Delay.

The Business Advisory Council was part of the National Republican Congressional Committee's dedication 'to making sure that small business has a voice in Washington." Kovar was appointed "in recognition of his valuable contributions and dedication to the Republican Party," and was "expected to play a crucial role in the party's efforts to involve top businesspeople in the process of government reform both at the state and federal levels." The plane's other registered owner, "Royal Sons LLC," a Florida air charter company, was once housed in a hangar at the Venice, Florida, Airport owned by flight school Huffman Aviation. Royal Sons used this same address, apparently during the same time frame that the flight school was serving as the home-away-from-home of alleged terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta of the Sept 11, 2001 bombings fame.

The plane later dubbed 'Cocaine One' by the media, investigations revealed, was purchased in a partnership between "Royal Sons Motor Yacht Sales, Inc. DBA Royal Sons" and a company owned by Brent Kovar called Skyway Communications Holding Corp, which jointly signed a loan with United Bank and Trust Company in St. Petersburg, FL. for $1.5 million. Royal Sons is part of a cluster of related air charter firms being used as dummy front companies to provide "cover" for CIA flights - an inter-locking and time-honoured Agency scheme going back 50 years: using frequent cosmetic transfers of aircraft title to make positively identifying the ownership of any one plane at any given time very difficult.

When the story first broke it was stated that the Mexican Army was waiting for the plane when it landed though Mexican Gen. Carlos Gaytan told reporters that his soldiers were unable to apprehend the plane's pilot. The pilot who vanished through the detachment of crack Mexican soldiers ringing the airport also took his name with him away though General Gaytan said his men managed to arrest the plane's co-pilot.

Initial news accounts said the bust was the result of a tip-off by U.S. officials, but later reports indicate that the chain of events was triggered, not by high-level contacts but by soldiers patrolling the airport who saw two Mexican pilots arriving in a small Falcon business jet and spending several days conspicuously slouching around the airport. While they probably didn't say what for, they didn't have to... Because the pilots offered to pay for the DC-9 to make an emergency landing, at a time when the airport was officially closed. Only then did local army officials deploy troops to the airport.

The two detained Mexican pilots were employees of the Mexican government's Federal Water Commission. While the Venice Airport is a tiny facility with barely a dozen businesses, according to the paper, no one at Royal Son's former Venice Airport address could recall the company having been there. Nor did the names of the firms' two principals, Frederic Geffon and Ron Gregory, ring any bells.

As pointed out by Mad Cow Morning News, Huffman Aviation's owner Wally Hilliard had his own Lear jet busted by US Drug Enforcement Agency officials, during the same month Mohamed Atta arrived at his flight school, unhappy to discover 43 pounds of heroin aboard an event the Orlando Sentinel called "the biggest heroin bust in Central Florida history."
Later evidence implicated The Titan Corporation, a major US defense contractor in the 5.5-ton cocaine seizure in Mexico. Titan is already embroiled in major scandals, which include the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and a conviction of $28 million fine for fixing a Presidential election in the Republic of Benin. The firm also has unexplained connections to Makram Chams, a mysterious Lebanese who provided assistance to Mohamed Atta and other terrorist hijackers in Venice, Florida before the 9/11 attacks and disappeared soon after.

Chams, as recently as last year was a contractor working for Titan Corp in Saudi Arabia. Wherever the narcotic trade is, there is money, huge sums of illegal money to be made and with it comes official corruption, crime including murder and kidnappings  and the takeover of businesses and law enforcement by the drug lords.

According to US Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., in his book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America's Border and Security," he learnt from meetings with law enforcement authorities that there is a concerted effort by the Mexican mafia and drug cartels to extend their corruptive influence in urban areas dominated by illegal alien populations while some small cities have become hostile and dangerous places for legitimate law enforcement officials.

According to him, 'The Tijuana-based Felix drug cartel and the Juarez-based Fuentes cartel began buying legitimate businesses in small towns in Los Angeles County in the early 1990s," he writes in the book. "They purchased restaurants, used-car lots, auto-body shops and other small businesses. One of their purposes was to use these businesses for money-laundering operations. Once established in their community, these cartel-financed business owners ran for city council and other local offices. Over time, they were able to buy votes and influence in an effort to take over the management of the town. They wanted to create a comfort zone from which they could operate without interference from local law enforcement."

Tancredo, well known for opposing amnesty plans for illegal aliens and for promoting tougher border security measures, points, as an example, to the L.A. County city of Bell Gardens – where corrupt elected officials under the influence of drug lords actually tried to shut down the police department. "City officials who would not cooperate with the Mexican-born city manager were forced out of office," he writes. "Eventually, the L.A. County attorney's office moved in, and the city manager was prosecuted on charges of corruption. Unfortunately, Bell Gardens was only the tip of the iceberg. Other Los Angeles suburbs – including Huntington Park, Lynwood and Southgate – became targets for the cartels."

"The corruption spreading from south of the border is not confined to Southern California," he writes. "In Cameron County, Texas, the former sheriff and several other officials were recently convicted of receiving drug-smuggling bribes. In Douglas, Ariz. – where the international border runs down the middle of the town and divides it from its sister city of Agua Prieta, Mexico – the mayor's brother was discovered to have a tunnel from one of his rental properties going into Mexico."

Another insider into the drug running activities of the elite ruling class is Cele Castillo who made headlines in the US in the 1980s exposing illegal government-sponsored cocaine trafficking. For 12 years he fought against the drug lords in South America, finally realizing in the late 1980s that his fight was essentially for nothing.

After raiding jungle cocaine labs in the Amazon, conducting aerial eradication operations in Guatemala and assembling and training anti-narcotics units in several countries, Castillo finally went public and blew the whistle after realizing the real kingpin drug dealers worked in the White House, not in the jungles of Central and South America.

"I took an oath to defend my country and fight the war on drugs. When I realized the enemy was within our own government, I took the path of truth, trying to alert the American people," said Castillo, a Viet Nam veteran on the Greg Szymanski's radio show, 'The Investigative Journal'.  In a damning testimony, he told of how while in El Salvador, he received a cable from a fellow agent, asking him to investigate possible drug smuggling by Nicaraguan Contras operating from the Ilopango Air Force Base.

"I quickly discovered that the Contra pilots were, indeed, smuggling narcotics back into the United States - using the same pilots, planes and hangars that the CIA and the National Security Council, under the direction of Lt. Col. Oliver North, used to maintain their covert supply operation to the Contras." Instead of playing along with the criminals inside government profiting from cocaine trafficking, Castillo attempted to seek justice, naming many high-level officials including North and former President George H.W Bush. After Castillo blew the whistle, Bush made a point to seek out and feel out Castillo but at the same time careful not to make any incriminating statement.

And when Castillo first went public, he was the first government DEA agent with first-hand knowledge of North's drug dealing sanctioned by Bush and other higher-ups. At the time of the allegations, North was in the process of running for the U.S. Senate and Castillo was quoted as saying he "belongs in prison," not in government. "We saw several packages of narcotics, we saw several boxes of U.S. currency, going from Ilopango to Panama," Castillo said.

According to Castillo on his web site, http://www.powderburns.org, the entire drug program was run out of Ilopango's Hangars 4 and 5. "Hangar 4, was owned and operated by the CIA and run by Felix Rodriguez, or 'Max Gomez,' of the Contra operation directed by North.  "Basically they were running cocaine from South America to the U.S. via Salvador that was how the Contras were able to get financial help. North's people and the CIA were at the two hangars overseeing the operations at all times," Castillo added. Castillo also fingered John Negroponte, now in the Bush administration and who served from 1981-1985 as U.S. Ambassador to Honduras, as just another drug smuggler covering up the illegal government activity as well as illegally assisting the contra war and helping the Reagan administration in the disappearance of more than 300 political opponents in classic death squad fashion.

"In Honduras, I saw first hand how Negroponte and General Alvarez committed some of the worst human rights violations ever committed against humanity in the Western Hemisphere" said Castillo, adding in 1994, the Honduran Human Rights Commission charged Negroponte personally with several human rights abuses. Negroponte is now the Director of National Intelligence. Former US President George Bush is known as 'Mr. War on Drugs' as he led anti-drug wars during the administrations of Nixon and Reagan and one during his own tenure in the White House. According to Congressman Glenn English, Bush's war on drugs was 'little more than lip service and press releases'. One such press release claimed that the South Florida Task Force set up by Bush has eliminated the cultivation of marijuana in South Florida. When Francis Mullen Jr. of the American Drug Enforcement Administration challenged him, he was sacked. Under Bush, the CIA allegedly arranged drug
busts designed to create an impression that the war was succeeding.

CIA operative Trenton Parker has also told how the Colombian drug lords donated cocaine which was landed at Miami Airport in March 1980 and 'found' by Customs officials (See Defrauding America" by Rodney Stitch) This is often done to fool the populace and create an illusion of success to justify the huge amounts being spent on this so-called wars. On many occasions, it is couriers or mules who get arrested with 100 grams or two kilos while the barons, the importers of tons who are the major players with their links to the highest levels of world politics and intelligence are allowed to ply their trade unmolested as they handsomely contribute to fund raising activities of leading political parties and fund election campaigns.

Parker claims it was the CIA that gathered the Colombian drug dealers for two meetings in late 1981 under the Reagan-Bush administration to form a cartel to improve the shipment of drugs to the US. The first meeting, he said, was at Hotel International in Medellin attended by about 200 dealers and that was the beginning of the infamous Medellin cartel. The Zapata Oil Corporation set up by Bush as a CIA front and its subsidiary, Zapata Offshore, have been implicated in drug smuggling while Bush was its top man. Michael Maholy ex-State Department and CIA staff said the drugs were brought by sea to the Zapata offshore rigs, unloaded and then flown ashore by helicopters that service these rigs.

Therefore anytime a government declares a war on drugs it is always a scam as Lt. Col. James 'Bo' Gritz, one of America's most respected soldiers who in a speech to the American Liberty Lunch Club in a video titled 'A Nation Betrayed' concluded that 'No president that ever declared a war on drugs has ever fought one' while a former US DEA agent described the Bush anti-drug war as '...biggest, whitest, and deadliest lie ever perpetrated on US citizens by their government' (See 'The Big White Lie' by Michael Levine and Lauri Kavanau-Levine).

Latest UN figures on poppy production in Afghanistan, a country recently 'liberated' from the clutches of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda suggest a massive failure on the part of the American and NATO forces to stamp out the trade. Afghanistan's world-leading opium cultivation rose a "staggering" 300 percent this year, said Antonio Maria Costa, chief of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime in Afghanistan while urging the government to crack down on big traffickers and remove corrupt officials and police.

The record crop yielded 6,100 tons of opium, or enough to make 610 tons of heroin -- outstripping world demand by a third. "The news is very bad. On the opium front today in some of the provinces of Afghanistan, we face a state of emergency," said Maria Costa, at a news conference. "In the southern provinces, the situation is out of control." The U.N. report, based on satellite imagery and ground surveys, said the area under poppy cultivation in Afghanistan has consistently increased: 407,700 acres in 2006, up from 257,000 acres in 2005 while it was 323,700 acres in 2004.
The estimated yield of 6,100 tons of opium resin -- described by Costa as "staggering" -- is up from 4,100 tons last year, and exceeds the previous high for total global output of 5,764 tons recorded in 1999. Last year, about 450 tons of heroins were consumed worldwide, 90 percent of it from Afghanistan, according to the U.N.
President Karzai has often talked tough on drugs, even declaring a "holy war" against the trade, but he is increasingly criticized for appointing and failing to sack corrupt provincial governors and police. In an indication of the alarming extent of official complicity in the trade, a Western counter-narcotics official said about 25,000 to 30,000 acres of government land in Helmand was used to cultivate opium poppies this year adding that police and government officials are involved in cultivating poppies, providing protection for growers or taking bribes to ensure the crops aren't destroyed.
But for those who might have been caught on the cocaine euphoria that has engulfed the nation, the words of David Icke in his 'The Biggest Secret' are very illuminating. 'If you are taking hard drugs or thinking of doing so, remember this: you are not being a 'rebel' or 'dropping out,' you are doing exactly what the people who control this world want you to do. The choice is yours, but understands the game before you start. There is only one winner when you get into drugs. And it's never you.'

3. LINKING THE CHAVEZ GOVERNMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL TRADE IN NARCOTICS.

President Hugo Chavez has always maintained that one of his Government's priorities is to fight and make Venezuela free of all those evils that ruined whole lives, whole nations, whole regions and these include not limited to narcotic drugs, but also terrorism, child pornography, domestic violence, gender apartheid, armed robbery, sex slavery, guns smuggling, prostitution and discrimination against the poor in society. Facts on the ground in Venezuela show that the Chavez Government is chalking successes in all fronts against social vices and degeneracy.

The vicious US government has continued to accelerate its smear propaganda campaign against Venezuela by falsely accusing the democratically elected, morally and constitutionally constituted Government of President Hugo Chavez, of condoning the activities of narcotic drug trafficking. No matter Washington's unending spinning and rehearsal, or slanting of this smear campaign, only sane-thinking, criminal-minded and evil people can buy such anti-Venezuela rhetoric that has become centre of political campaign platform in the ongoing US presidential election campaign for both the Republican and Democrat Parties.

Those familiar with US imperialist agenda for Latin America and vague thinking that Latin America is Washington's backyard know the truth that this is not the first "dirty lie" pursued by the US government against Venezuela. It is only part of a bundle of sinister agendas whereby the vicious US government promotes in its efforts to establish its hegemonic control and domination in the Americas and other parts of the world. But the fact that such a smear propaganda is manufactured and recycled again and again, through the corporate media, with the sole intent to demonise the Chavez Government suggest how immorality and opulence have sucked deeper into the US body polity to the extent that the legacy bequeathed to the American people by Thomas Jefferson in 1816 has completely been eroded, for low evil desires.

We know the kind of people who aligned with the neo-cons in Washington around the anti-Venezuelan motivated smear campaign are dubious and are following the US for selfish reasons; while the corporate media and gutter journalists play the role of publishing and dissemination centre of the imperialist heinous activities, oppressive ideologies, militarism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, fascist terrorism,, race hatreds, lies, deceptions and ruinous agendas. With the above, neither the vicious US government, nor its western errand politicians or the corporate media has provide at least one evidence, to indict Venezuela for any presumed crime, like condoning narcotic drug trafficking, and this fits only within the historical legacy of US/Western imperialist governments' dirty foreign policy. Factually there is no evidence to link the Chavez Government in encouraging and facilitating the illicit production, processing, shipment or distribution of narcotic
drugs or other psychotropic substances, or the laundering of proceeds from narcotic drugs business. What appears in the corporate media, electronic or print media is based on mere assumption, figment of imagination, gossiping, fascist hatreds, malice and truth burial.

To prove US hypocrisy and political manoeuvres in the fight to destroy the menace of narcotic drugs, John Walters (Director of the US Office of Narcotic Control Policy) was reported to have made an assumption during an official visit to Colombia, in January, 2008 that Venezuela is now a "haven" for shipment of cocaine manufactured in Colombia, and that Venezuela was doing nothing to stop the illicit trade from crossing its territory into the US. The US drug czar statement only helped to vindicate the Chavez Government that Venezuela does not manufacture or traffic narcotic drugs, as in deed Colombia does process, manufacture and traffic the deadly powder overseas.

The vicious US Government and it amen chorus in the international media have continued to smear President Hugo Chavez for accusations that appear to be entirely ill-intentioned, baseless and stupid. Moreover the accusers themselves-the US government and its allies have track records of shielding the evils of the comprador Government of President Alvaro Uribe, and of refusing to speak out against Colombia, which unmistaken statistics show that the Southern American nation led by President Alvaro Uribe produces and traffics ninety-percent of the heroin and cocaine consumed in the US and other parts of the world.

The US knows the location of all the narcotic drugs producing plants around the world, and most of these plants are owned and managed by agents of the CIA, MI6, Mossads, etc. The US knows the commercial aircrafts that are used to traffic the dangerous drugs from Colombia into the United States; why not indict owners of these commercial aircrafts and prosecuted for aiding the illegal trafficking of narcotic drugs into the US. It is no more a secret that the comprador bandwagon of President Uribe operates a narco state in Colombia, similar to the one created by former narco-General Manuel Noriega in Panama, in the 1980s with the backing of George Bush senior. The US government knows also that the younger brother of President Uribe is leading a paramilitary group in Colombia that trades in narcotic business; commits horrible human rights of the people of Colombia; kidnaps and assassinates political opponents and Labour Union leaders in that country.

The corporate media have all but ignored to point out the above facts to the public, but every manufactured lie about Venezuela gets a banner headline and forms the basis for a new media assault and slander against the Chavez Government.

Again to the annoyance of sane-thinking and civilised people, John Walters returned again to the anti-Venezuela smear platform, and on 22 August, 2008 attempted to stupid the public by repeatedly claiming that the Chavez Government does not cooperate with US officials to combat drug trafficking. The Associate Press quickly embraced the stupidity with the infamous headline: "US drug czar: cocaine flow through Venezuela".  We believe media clients, particularly the junk media linked to the associate Press deserve factual reporting. In this case the Hugo Chavez International Foundation for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCI-FPFS) takes upon itself to suggest that, any media that is interested to know the truth about Venezuela since the election of President Hugo Chavez should endeavour to visit the Latin American nation, but not to standby ready all the time to reprint rubbish in their newspapers about the ongoing transformation of Venezuela.

Those who have helped to rehears hate-filled and malicious propaganda against the Chavez Government, be it the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the El Pais, the Economist, Financial Times, El Tempo, Le Figaro, El Nacional, El Universal and their likes know well that are doing a disservice to humanity. By carrying out this criminal and mudslinging campaign against Venezuela, the corporate media is doing more harm than good to peace, security and stability. The anti-Venezuela campaign will not deter the Chavez Government resolved determination to combat the scourge of narcotic drugs and does not need the US to win that battle-because any alliance with the empire in any form would be gigantic failure and embarrassment.

The Chavez Government had tasted it before only to realise that US anti-drugs' officials were in fact big spies, drug traffickers and drug-money launderers. As known around the world today with sound evidences, US drug officials commit also acts of arms smuggling and sedition against democratically elected Governments. Contrary to John Walters's seditious lie, the US government is doing nothing to reduce the consumption of narcotic drugs in its territory, let alone to stop the Colombian comprador Government of President Alvaro Uribe from processing, manufacturing and distribution of the killer substance for retail marketing and consumption in the United States.

For the neo-cons in Washington to turn on Venezuela and falsely accused the innocent Chavez Government for crimes in actual facts are committed by the Colombian government of President Alvaro Uribe conflicts totally with the truth and raises many questions about the real motives of the US campaign against the Chavez Government. This is nothing than a nasty propaganda game invented by the White House in Washington, which in recent years has faced series of disgrace and international scandals and indictments for hurting humanity so much.

On the thorny issue of serious and moral commitment to combating the menace of narcotic drugs business, the Chavez Government commands greater respect locally and internationally for strides made in the anti-narcotic campaign in the last ten years of its inception, and particularly after the expulsion of the dubious and so-called US drug agents, out of Venezuela. It is a well documented fact that civilised, democratic, moral, just and credible institutions and individuals worldwide are satisfied with the Chavez Government's unrelenting efforts at meeting its international obligations within the United Nations drug control system and unflinched respect for international Protocols, Agreements and Conventions on counter-narcotics.

4. CORPORATE MEDIA CONSPIRACY.

In a culture of morality, justice, fair play and decency in public and national life, the media takes a vital role to guide society against those evils that deprive humanity of its survival, freedom, dignity and happiness. The corporate media is far from decent disseminating of information for the good of the public, and instead exist only to sell the activities, policies, decisions and designs of powerful imperialist instruments. It is these imperialist forces that lured the media-by owning it tight, purify it of alternative views and foist intellectual prostitutes to function it (media) day-in-day-out activities to the public.

It is interesting to know that in such conditions, politicians aligned with highly placed Administrators of media premises to mislead public opinion. The sole aim of this trickery game is to-

i.                     Present to the public that any resistance to the heinous crimes of imperialism, racism and Fascist terrorism is evil and must be destroyed on air, land and sea.

ii.                   Lay the foundation today for the public acceptability of tomorrow's imperialist manoeuvres.

iii.                  Defend and promote imperialist designs and tastes.

iv.                 Criminalise, smear and demonise any credible opposition to the crimes of imperialism against the people of the world.

v.                   Help further election platforms of political Parties and candidates that espoused imperialist agenda, i.e. the corporate media is used as a tool to advance the campaign of candidates supported by imperialism.

In an economic class system where the rich one percent own and determined the future direction of a whole nation, who should be President and Commander-In-Chief, Prime Minister, Minister or Governor, Heads of the Judiciary, Security and Financial Institutions, and where imperialism designs and interprets the foreign policy of that nation according to their tastes against the will of the people generally, it is not difficult to figure where governments in this system are desperate running from one end of the globe to the other committing all kinds of heinous crimes and atrocities to assist the imperialists day-to-day economic domination and merciless exploitation of the world's rich resources, either by force of military or trickery techniques. Both the corporate governments and the media work hand in hand, shoulder by shoulder to promote the imperialists agenda around the world, and these agendas are designed to achieve the following:

The amazing thing is that it didn't even deserve its own article in The New York Times—it got tacked onto the end of another article about a different appropriation in three short paragraphs. And it was passed in the Senate by simply voice vote. There was no comment at all, which I was out to try and say there's something terribly gone wrong here. We have the money.

The global chemical industry annually produces about 6 billion pounds of bisphenol A (BPA), an integral component of a vast array of plastic products, generating at least $6 billion in annual sales. The value of BPA-based manufactured goods is probably incalculable. Environmental Working Group studies have found BPA in more than half the canned foods and beverages sampled from supermarkets across the U.S.

Soon after scientists Frederick Vom Saal and Wade Welshons found the first hard evidence that miniscule amounts of BPA caused irreversible changes in the prostates of fetal mice, a scientist from Dow Chemical Company showed up at the Missouri lab. He disputed the data and declared, as Vom Saal recalls, "We want you to know how distressed we are by your research."

"It was not a subtle threat," Vom Saal says. "It was really, really clear, and we ended up saying, threatening us is really not a good idea."

Since everyone simply assumes that conscience is universal among human beings, hiding the fact that you are conscience-free is nearly effortless. You are not held back from any of your desires by guilt or shame, and you are never confronted by others for your cold-bloodedness. The ice water in your veins is so bizarre, so completely outside of their personal experience that they seldom even guess at your condition.

quote:

But in all the hubbub surrounding the downfall of the established American auto manufacturers, one of the ideas apparently being floated by the CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler is to convert some or all of that $25 billion into what amounts to a bailout.

Needless to say, car makers like Tesla aren’t happy about this strategy. Tesla has applied for funding from the ATVM to undertake two projects — an Advanced Battery and Powertrain Manufacturing facility and a manufacturing facility to build their upcoming five-passenger electric sedan known as the “Model S.”

So, in a Thanksgiving blog post, Diarmuid O’Connell, Tesla Motors’ Vice President of Business Development, categorically outlines how shifting any of the ATVM $25 billion into a bailout “would be an enormous mistake,” adding that “the original spirit and intent of the program is critical for the nation’s economic security – and the importance of the program is even greater given the harrowing economic climate.”

quote:

That "kinetic action" – a U.S. assault on Iran – should, in fact, be massive, suggested the Coats-Robb report. Besides hitting dozens of sites alleged to be part of Iran's nuclear research program, the attacks would target Iranian air defense and missile sites, communications systems, Revolutionary Guard facilities, key parts of Iran's military-industrial complex, munitions storage facilities, airfields, aircraft facilities, and all of Iran's naval facilities. Eventually, they say, the United States would also have to attack Iran's ground forces, electric power plants and electrical grids, bridges, and "manufacturing plants, including steel, autos, buses, etc."

This is, of course, a hair-raising scenario. Such an attack on a country that had committed no act of war against the United States or any of its allies would cause countless casualties, virtually destroy Iran's economy and infrastructure, and wreak havoc throughout the region. That such a high-level group of luminaries should even propose steps like these – and mean it – can only be described as lunacy. That an important adviser to President-elect Obama would sign on to such a report should be shocking, though it has received next to no attention.

This malevolent lie was too much for the Russians and too much of the rest of the world. It was plain to all that the US, an aggressor state striving to encircle Russia with bases even to the edge of central Asia, had initiated a war that it then blamed on Russia. After Afghanistan, Iraq, Bush’s defense of Israel’s 2006 war criminal attack on Lebanon, and Bush’s false claims of an Iranian nuclear weapon, few, if any, countries any longer believe pronouncements of the US government. The US is regarded worldwide as an aggressor state that lies through its teeth.

Winston Churchill, who was first Lord of the Admiralty and has long been suspected of knowing more about the circumstances of the attack than he let on in public, wrote in a confidential letter shortly before the sinking that some German submarine attacks were to be welcomed.


He said: 'It is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the U.S. with Germany.

'For our part we want the traffic  -  the more the better and if some of it gets into trouble, better still.'

And it isn't only sinking financial institutions begging for federal dollars that have bolstered their Washington lobbying corps. So have the biggest U.S. armaments companies -- "drastically," according to reporter August Cole of the Wall Street Journal. In 2008, he found, Northrop Grumman almost doubled its lobbying budget to $20.6 million (from $10.9 million the previous year); Boeing upped its budget from $10.6 million to $16.6 million in the same period; and Lockheed-Martin, the company that received the most contracts from the Pentagon last year, hiked its lobbying efforts by a whopping 54% in 2008.

 

Who can afford to pay a Lobbyist these days?

 



More than 20 years ago, Chuck Spinney wrote a classic account of the now-routine bureaucratic scams practiced within the Pentagon to ensure that Congress will appropriate funds for dishonestly advertised and promoted weapons systems and then prevent their cancellation when the fraud comes to light. In a paper he entitled "Defense Power Games," of which his superiors deeply disapproved, Spinney outlined two crucial Pentagon gambits meant to lock in such weaponry: "front-loading" and "political engineering."

It should be understood at the outset that all actors involved, including the military officers in charge of projects, the members of Congress who use defense appropriations to buy votes within their districts, and the contractors who live off the ensuing lucrative contracts, utilize these two scams. It is also important to understand that neither front-loading nor political engineering is an innocent or morally neutral maneuver. They both involve criminal intent to turn on the spigot of taxpayer money and then to jam it so that it cannot be turned off. They are de rigueur practices of our military-industrial complex.

Front-loading is the practice of appropriating funds for a new weapons project based solely on assurances by its official sponsors about what it can do. This happens long before a prototype has been built or tested, and invariably involves the quoting of unrealistically low unit costs for a sizeable order. Assurances are always given that the system's technical requirements will be simple or have already been met. Low-balling future costs, an intrinsic aspect of front-loading, is an old Defense Department trick, a governmental version of bait-and-switch. (What is introduced as a great bargain regularly turns out to be a grossly expensive lemon.)

Political engineering is the strategy of awarding contracts in as many different Congressional districts as possible. By making voters and Congressional incumbents dependent on military money, the Pentagon's political engineers put pressure on them to continue supporting front-loaded programs even after their true costs become apparent.

Front-loading and political engineering generate several typical features in the weapons that the Pentagon then buys for its arsenal. These continually prove unnecessarily expensive, are prone to break down easily, and are often unworkably complex. They tend to come with inadequate supplies of spare parts and ammunition, since there is not enough money to buy the numbers that are needed. They also force the services to repair older weapons and keep them in service much longer than is normal or wise. (For example, the B-52 bomber, which went into service in 1955, is still on active duty.)

Most Americans have never heard of Sibel Edmonds, and if the U.S. government has its way, they never will. The former FBI translator turned whistleblower tells a chilling story of corruption at Washington’s highest levels—sale of nuclear secrets, shielding of terrorist suspects, illegal arms transfers, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, espionage….

Advanced Mechanical Products, a Cincinnati company that converts Saturn Sky sports cars into electric vehicles, has asked for a $20 million loan. Stephen Burns, the company’s chief executive, even dropped off his application by driving one of the all-electric cars to the agency and giving members of Congress a ride.

“Every norm of civilized behavior and international law was violated.”
April 04, 2009 "BAR" -- Despite the best efforts of the American corporate media, the Israeli lobby, and compromised politicians, the true nature of Israel’s barbarity towards the Palestinian people is not easily hidden. The massacres of Gaza’s civilian population that were recently carried out by the Israeli Defense Force created a turning point in worldwide public opinion. Only the Israeli and American governments try to deny that war crimes were committed.
The IDF barred the world’s media from witnessing the killings of more than 1,400 people. Every norm of civilized behavior and international law was violated, including the Geneva Conventions prohibition of acts of revenge against civilian populations. Israel kept the borders of Gaza sealed, and would not even allow the population to flee and save their lives. The IDF takes the term “shooting fish in a barrel” very seriously.
Now members of the IDF themselves are coming forward to admit that they committed war crimes. Soldiers have told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that they were ordered to murder civilians without provocation.  Haaretz has also revealed that the IDF prepares soldiers to kill civilians by openly condoning the killing of pregnant women and little children.

“1 Shot, 2 Kills” reads one t-shirt routinely worn by IDF soldiers. It depicts a pregnant woman covered by a bulls-eye. Another t-shirt for infantry snipers depicts “the inscription ‘Better use Durex,’ next to a picture of a dead Palestinian baby, with his weeping mother and a teddy bear beside him.” Soldiers wear these shirts only with the approval of their platoon commanders.
“The IDF prepares soldiers to kill civilians by openly condoning the killing of pregnant women and little children.”
The shirts are bilingual, written in Hebrew and in English too. It makes sense that the inscriptions are also in English, because were it not for American financial support, the IDF would not exist or be able to bomb Syria or the Sudan or invade Lebanon or carry out massacres in Gaza.
The United States is the Israeli government’s only friend in the world. While boycotts and protests against Israel are carried out all over the globe, concerned Americans are silenced because the corporate media and the political system have turned their country into Israel’s colony.

What far fewer people are aware of is how deeply the CIA, organized crime and, George Bush Sr. were involved in the Savings & Loan disaster which caused US taxpayers and estimated trillion dollars plus.

The term of art for these kinds of operations is a "bust out."

The scam works as follows: an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business' name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.

The Bush family and its associates in organized crime and the CIA have figured out how to run this scam on a multi-hundred billion dollar level using the entire US banking system as its playground.

When you consider that Reagan was probably out of it from Day One of his term and that Bill Clinton is a close associate of George Bush Sr., the Bush crime syndicate has been influencing when not outright running the executive branch continuously since 1980, which, perhaps not so coincidentally, marks the earliest days of the credit bubble the economy is now having serious trouble digesting.

Swine flu?

Thanks for the perspective Dr. Paul

 
Here is another doctor's perspective on Swine Flu:

Read my ten page special report on this vital topic so you can avoid deception and manipulation by the conventional media.


 

My guess is that you can expect to see a lot of panic over this issue in the near future.  But the key is to remain calm -- this isn't the first time the public has been warned about swine flu. The last time was in 1976, right before I entered medical school and I remember it very clearly. It resulted in the massive swine flu vaccine campaign.

Do you happen to recall the result of this massive campaign?

Within a few months, claims totaling $1.3 billion had been filed by victims who had suffered paralysis from the vaccine. The vaccine was also blamed for 25 deaths. 


 

However, several hundred people developed crippling Guillain-Barré Syndrome after they were injected with the swine flu vaccine. Even healthy 20-year-olds ended up as paraplegics.

And the swine flu pandemic itself? It never materialized.


 

More People Died From the Swine Flu Vaccine than Swine Flu!

It is very difficult to forecast a pandemic, and a rash response can be extremely damaging.

As of Monday April 27, the worldwide total number of confirmed cases was 82, according to WHO, which included 40 cases in the U.S., confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control.  But does that truly warrant the feverish news headlines?

To put things into perspective, malaria kills 3,000 people EVERY DAY, and it's considered "a health problem"...  But of course, there are no fancy vaccines for malaria that can rake in billions of dollars in a short amount of time.

One Australian news source,3 for example, states that even a mild swine flu epidemic could lead to the deaths of 1.4 million people and would reduce economic growth by nearly $5 trillion dollars.

Give me a break, if this doesn't sound like the outlandish cries of the pandemic bird-flu I don't know what does. Do you remember when President Bush said two million Americans would die as a result of the bird flu?  

In 2005, in 2006, 2007, and again in 2008, those fears were exposed as little more than a cruel hoax, designed to instill fear, and line the pocketbooks of various individuals and industry. I became so convinced by the evidence AGAINST the possibility of a bird flu pandemic that I wrote a New York Times bestselling book, The Bird Flu Hoax, all about the massive fraud involved with the epidemic that never happened..

And then, he hits the nail on its head: "In Hastert's case, it certainly should be a matter of public concern that a senior elected representative who may have received money from a foreign country is now officially lobbying on its behalf. How many other congressmen might have similar relationships with foreign countries and lobbying groups, providing them with golden parachutes for their retirement?"

 

Where do you think that power comes from, people?

DH: Now, I think some people found offensive that you had likened Israeli behavior to the Nazis. Is that an issue?

WR: Well I didn't do that. What I did was I forwarded several items from the world media, from the internet media. One item was an article written by a Jewish journalist in a Jewish newspaper here in the United States, and it was criticizing the invasion of Gaza...

DH: So you didn't endorse this position?

WR: I didn't endorse it but I did include, I said, in presenting this material, I said that Gaza is Israel's Warsaw and I explained the context. That's because in Warsaw the Nazi's surrounded Warsaw, concentrated Jews in Warsaw, wouldn't let anyone in, wouldn't let anyone out, wouldn't let supplies in, wouldn't let supplies out; as a result there was famine and disease and so forth...

While I was being tackled by security guards at Washington's Convention Center during the AIPAC conference for unfurling a banner that asked "What about Gaza?," my heart was aching. I wasn't bothered so much by the burly guards who were yanking my arms behind by back and dragging me-along with 5 other CODEPINK members-out of the hall. They were doing their job.

What made my heart ache was the hatred I felt from the AIPAC staff who tore up the banner and slammed their hands across my mouth as I tried to yell out: "What about Gaza? What about the children?"

"Shut the f--- up. Shut the f--- up." one staffer yelled, red-faced and sweating as he ran beside me. "This is not the place to be saying that shit. Get the f--- out of here."

What makes my heart ache is thinking about the traumatized children I met on my recent trip to Gaza, and how their suffering is denied by the 6,000 AIPAC conventioneers who are living in a bubble-a bubble where Israel is the victim and all critics are anti-Semitic, terrorist lovers or, as in my case, self-hating Jews.

Moving back to legal torture (or just confessing what has already been routine)?

 
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002340----000-.html


As used in this chapter—
 
(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
 
(2) “severe mental pain or suffering” means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from—
 
(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
 
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;
 
(C) the threat of imminent death; or
 
(D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and

 
(3) “United States” means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.


Is the definition likely to be different from one end to the other?

 


Former Senior Interrogator in Iraq Dissects Cheney's Lies and Distortions



As a senior interrogator in Iraq (and a former criminal investigator), there was a lesson I learned that served me well: there's more to be learned from what someone doesn't say than from what they do say. Let me dissect former Vice President Dick Cheney's speech on National Security using this model and my interrogation skills.

First, VP Cheney said, "This recruitment-tool theory has become something of a mantra lately... it excuses the violent and blames America for the evil that others do." He further stated, "It is much closer to the truth that terrorists hate this country precisely because of the values we profess and seek to live by, not by some alleged failure to do so." That is simply untrue. Anyone who served in Iraq, and veterans on both sides of the aisle have made this argument, knows that the foreign fighters did not come to Iraq en masse until after the revelations of torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. I heard this from captured foreign fighters day in and day out when I was supervising interrogations in Iraq. What the former vice president didn't say is the fact that the dislike of our policies in the Middle East were not enough to make thousands of Muslim men pick up arms against us before these revelations. Torture and abuse became Al Qaida's number one recruiting tool and cost us American lives.

Facts: Scientific and historical about gasoline and alcohol

1. The original automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.

2. Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919 just as the car industry was taking off.

3. When Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.

4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.

5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.

6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.

7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.

8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.

9. The oil companies aggressively promote garbage science to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.

10. Gasoline is a high toxic material.

11. It is entirely unneeded to fuel our cars.

12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades - and the censorship continues to this day.

I commend you on gathering all this info, but you should examine the sources you cite a little bit more carefully.

There is substantial evidence that alcohol/ethanol is not so great.  Have you considered the cost of producing corn-based ethanol, for example, which appears to be the cheapest type of alcohol-based fuel to produce?

You need irrigation for crops, fertilizer, tractors, etc.  Then you have to process it.  Also, ethanol cannot be pipelined like gasoline, because ethanol degrades somehow when that is attempted.  The end result of all this is that ethanol takes about as much energy to create as it gives back.

And have you considered how much of the USA's surface would need to be devoted to planting corn in order to supply us with all the ethanol we need.

Why do you suppose the government is currently subsidizing it?  If it was so great, wouldn't it make money on its own?

eatenbyagrue, 

I do some of my own research, checking eyewitness accounts, find specific books, track down ideas, etc. Is there something specific about the source you quote that inspires skepticism?  


 


There is substantial evidence that alcohol/ethanol is not so great.


I agree. I think that Solar Panels and Electric cars are the best investment compared to any other in view. The idea here is to see how a monopoly power works as the monopoly power expends power toward the elimination of all competition.  

Competition is a power that works toward improving quality and lowering costs; therefore the absence of competition allows lower quality and higher cost. Do you understand this significant and vital point? 



 


Have you considered the cost of producing corn-based ethanol, for example, which appears to be the cheapest type of alcohol-based fuel to produce?


One step down from Solar Panels and Electric Cars as the top source of high quality and low cost power is Bio-Fuel made from Algae grown in Modular Vertical Green Houses.  

I can provide links, if you are interested.  

I have a friend who lives in Brazil and he reports to me how the Gasoline Stations there have both Petroleum Fuel (Oil based Gasoline) and Bio-Fuel (made from sugar) at the pumps, the choice is up to the consumers in Brazil from those two fuels. 

Another fuel that is currently available is “Bean-Oil” and I know this because my brother is Vice-President at a Ready-Mix Concrete and Aggregate Company, here in California, where they are running some of the off-road vehicles on bean-oil. The last I heard was that the bean oil became thick when it grew cold in the winter. The supplier of the bean oil is more local, than “The Middle East” as the supplier – which is another vital and significant point concerning these competitive fuels.
 



 


You need irrigation for crops, fertilizer, tractors, etc. 
 

One of the supposed problems with electricity is the lack of a method of storing excess electricity during non-peak consumption hours. What do you think about using excess electricity during non-peak hours in the process of desalination of saltwater, pumping water from under ground and storing extra water in larger elevated water storing areas, and then having that power employed instead of wasted, not produced, or otherwise unwisely economized?

 

 



 
Also, ethanol cannot be pipelined like gasoline, because ethanol degrades somehow when that is attempted.  The end result of all this is that ethanol takes about as much energy to create as it gives back.


I think you miss the point concerning the link where the guy tells a story about how the oil companies managed to cause the destruction of competition in the transportation fuel market. The idea, I think, was to educate individual people who could then use that knowledge to become more independent of the central powers – by one specific method of producing one specific alternate fuel type (not exactly the most ideal method – perhaps).
 

 



 
And have you considered how much of the USA's surface would need to be devoted to planting corn in order to supply us with all the ethanol we need.


If I had my way I’d issue two new monetary products in the USA and those monetary products would fix the current problem in the USA. I do not have the power to control the USA, not the use of the surface, not the money, and not the employment of the military force. I think Algae in Vertical Farming (modular units) is much more efficient and economical as it uses much less surfaced area, much less water, much less labor, and much less power than any other plant – as far as my understanding goes at this point. 

 


 


Why do you suppose the government is currently subsidizing it? 


Please be specific about the subsidy in view. What exactly is being subsidized, how much, by whom, and who exactly is receiving the subsidy in question? If you can provide that specific data, then I can probably do a better job finding an answer the question. 
 



 


If it was so great, wouldn't it make money on its own? 

Can we work on the idea called credit? I think it is important to understand how credit works. Some investments require a whole lot of front money before the benefits pay off; such as Hover Dam (as one example).

The article you cite is really terrible. I have no idea what brasschecktv.com is or where it gets its facts, but many of the number items listed are just plain wrong.

First, on this idea that original cars ran on alcohol, and the implication that gasoline took over as primary fuel due to the prohibition. This is complete and total nonsense.

It's true that some early engines ran on alcohol, but so what? There were some early car engines that ran on steam.

First oil wells were dug in 1859. The distillation into kerosine happened around that time. The first cars, in the early 1890's used petrol as fuel, and this quickly became the norm. I believe all the early Ford models, from the A, C to the T models all ran on gasoline. A simple Google search will confirm this.

So this idea that early cars ran on alcohol and somehow the prohibition put an end to this is just plain false.

Next, there is the claim that alcohol can be produced at $1 per gallon. This is wrong on two levels. First, it is misleading. A gallon of ethanol is much less dense than gasoline, so it is not comparable gallon to gallon. Second, according to most sources, ethanol cannot be produced at $1 per gallon. Current estimates are about $1.75 per gallon.

I am not sure what effect growing more corn for ethanol would have on the price of food, but to say there would be no effect is counterintuitive. Mass use of corn and other plants for fuel would increase demand for those plants. And we know what happens when demand rises.

Later, there is the claim that using plants for fuel is incredibly efficient? How so? As I pointed out, lots of money is spent on irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting, transporting, processing, all of which requires its own fuel, money, and leaves a carbon footprint.

Next is a thinly veiled conspiracy theory, that somehow the oil companies are discouraging the use of ethanol. I am not sure who makes ethanol exactly, but I know that oil companies sell the blended product, so they are making money there too.

And hey, if it was a great business, the oil companies would be interested in it. After all, ethanol is renewable. Exxon could set up ethanol processing plants - it has the money.

Anyway, maybe you just did not think too much about what you are posting, and that is understandable, as you do not have many readers, but if you want this site to be a resource for someone, or persuade someone, and not just sound like you are quoting random things and hoping something will stick, you should do your due diligence.

eatenbyagrue, 

Please consider backing up your conclusions with data, any data, a link, a book, a quote, a newspaper article, something, anything, please, something other than mere negation.

 

http://www.permaculture.com/

There is a link to David Blume; so anyone an begin to inspect the data offered by David Blume.

 

http://www.permaculture.com/node/354

That is a pre-emptive (or ongoing) answer to the skeptics from that site (not my site).

 

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Prohibition+of+alcohol+by+oil+companies&aq=f&oq=&aqi= 

That is a simple Google search on the words: Prohibition of alcohol by oil companies 


Here is the top of the list on that search:

Alcohol Prohibition removed competition for Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company

I don’t posses or control perfect information. I don’t have it, I don’t know where to get it, but I do know that people are being tortured and mass murdered by legal criminals, and one way those legal criminals get the power to torture and mass murder is deception.  

If I knew the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I suppose I’d be God. 

I’m not.

 
First oil wells were dug in 1859. The distillation into kerosine happened around that time. The first cars, in the early 1890's used petrol as fuel, and this quickly became the norm. I believe all the early Ford models, from the A, C to the T models all ran on gasoline. A simple Google search will confirm this. 

OK: Search for:

Early conversion alcohol motor fuel 

Find this:
http://www.journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_drane.html  



In the early days of automotive industry several manufacturers produced motors designed to run on alcohol, instead of the relatively new and scarce product called gasoline. The Ford Model T was originally designed to burn alcohol, gasoline or a combination of both. However, Ford and other manufactures soon bowed to the intense pressure exerted by the emerging oil monopolies of the time and began designing motors with gasoline as the only intended fuel.

Several makers of farm tractors have continued production of alcohol engines. They are for export only, and you will probably never see a factory-engineered alcohol tractor in this country in this country at this time.


 
Are they as false as David Blume, because you say so, or because you have data proving that the Ford Model T was NOT originally designed to burn alcohol, gasoline or a combination of both? 

I would like to know the truth about this subject.

 

So this idea that early cars ran on alcohol and somehow the prohibition put an end to this is just plain false.
Please consider offering data in support of the truth – please. 



Next, there is the claim that alcohol can be produced at $1 per gallon. This is wrong on two levels. First, it is misleading. A gallon of ethanol is much less dense than gasoline, so it is not comparable gallon to gallon. Second, according to most sources, ethanol cannot be produced at $1 per gallon. Current estimates are about $1.75 per gallon.

Your basis for refuting the claims made by someone is claim made by an unspecified source. David Blume claims to have produced alcohol fuel and in so doing he claims to know how much it cost to produce alcohol fuel – so you are claiming that David Blume is a fraud? I want to get this straight, without ambiguity. Are you claiming that David Blume is a fraud? If you are then I will expend some energy and time toward contacting David Blume; so as to allow him to defend himself against this charge by you.

 

I am not sure what effect growing more corn for ethanol would have on the price of food, but to say there would be no effect is counterintuitive. Mass use of corn and other plants for fuel would increase demand for those plants. And we know what happens when demand rises.

I think that you misunderstand the point. It may be me. I think that the point is that independent people can use their own land, their own water, and their own power, to make their own motor fuel, and I thing that point is separate from the “macro” economic point.  

What should the U.S.A. do to satisfy power needs?  

That is a “macro” economic question. I don’t think that David Blume is saying: “The U.S.A. should make alcohol for motor fuel.” I think the idea is for individuals to take control of their own power needs, and alcohol production is one competitive method by which that goal can be accomplished in each individual case where the individual understands the individual costs and benefits for him or her self.  

I don’t think that David Blume is speaking “collectively” as if what works for one person must therefore work for everyone – if that is what you are saying.
 

Later, there is the claim that using plants for fuel is incredibly efficient? How so? As I pointed out, lots of money is spent on irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting, transporting, processing, all of which requires its own fuel, money, and leaves a carbon footprint.
 

How using planes for fuel is incredibly efficient is explained by David Blume, so any reader who wishes to answer that question may want to listen to the presentations by David Blume. I listened and his presentation makes a lot of sense, in particular the part where oxygen is produced by the plants as they consumer carbon monoxide. The same thinking applies to Algae as fuel – which I think is more efficient than using corn, sugar, or other plants that do not reproduce themselves as quickly as Algae. 

What do I know?

 

Next is a thinly veiled conspiracy theory, that somehow the oil companies are discouraging the use of ethanol. I am not sure who makes ethanol exactly, but I know that oil companies sell the blended product, so they are making money there too.


Please consider backing up your not so thinly veiled conspiracy theory on David Blume’s work. Opinion backed up by data is better than opinion backed up with no data – in my opinion. 


And hey, if it was a great business, the oil companies would be interested in it. After all, ethanol is renewable. Exxon could set up ethanol processing plants - it has the money. 

Who is Exxon? You speak as if Exxon is a person.

 


Anyway, maybe you just did not think too much about what you are posting, and that is understandable, as you do not have many readers, but if you want this site to be a resource for someone, or persuade someone, and not just sound like you are quoting random things and hoping something will stick, you should do your due diligence. 

You are now turning your venom on me. You don’t know how much thought I have expended. You also don’t know how many readers read these posts. Please stop this personal attack routine; you are now wasting my time.

You site these conspiracy websites like they are in any way authoritative.  It's just people repeating same stuff over and over, until it becomes more believable, because they all say it.

Anyway, I am taking your advice and am done here.  I suspect you are a little bit of a nutjob anyway.

Good luck, maybe in another 5 years or so you will get another visitor.

Fearful of American citizens, the US government is building concentration camps apparently all over the country. According to news reports, a $385 million US government contract was given by the Bush/Cheney Regime to Cheney’s company, Halliburton, to build “detention centers” in the US. The corporate media never explained for whom the detention centers are intended.

Most Americans dismiss such reports. “It can’t happen here.” However, In northeastern Florida not far from Tallahassee, I have seen what might be one of these camps. There is a building inside a huge open area fenced with razor wire. There is no one there and no signs. The facility appears new and unused and does not look like an abandoned prisoner work camp.

What is it for?

Who spent all that money for what?

The smoking gun

In June of 2000, the Center for Disease Control, the World Wealth Organization, the FDA, "leading" scientists and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry got together for a secret meeting.

Their focus was the growing public and scientific awareness that mercury used as a preservative in vaccines for children had unleashed an epidemic of autism.

The participants came to three conclusions:

1. They acknowledged the autism/mercury connection was true (or at least highly plausible)

2. They conspired to create a statistical smokescreen to obscure the science

3. They agreed not to disclose anything that took place at the meeting

Your tax dollars at work.

If the reader has an interest in finding a good supply to meet the demand for accurate information my suggestion is to take care.

That is the point.

Care is a human product.

Do you care?

Do you care to know how power is growing in China as power is evaporating in the U.S.A.?

Why would you care? What would be the point?

I have a job for you to do if you think that you do care now, and I suggest that you do this job because you will care when it is time for you to begin a serious bout of caring.

Read the link and get to this part:

I don't mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your government and its agents are doing. They go into villages, they haul out families. With the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. With the children forced to watch they gang-rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. And sometimes for variety, they make the parents watch while they do these things to the children.

This is nobody's propaganda. There have been over 100,000 American witnesses for peace who have gone down there and they have filmed and photographed and witnessed these atrocities immediately after they've happened, and documented 13,000 people killed this way, mostly women and children. These are the activities done by these contras. The contras are the people president Reagan calls `freedom fighters'. He says they're the moral equivalent of our founding fathers. And the whole world gasps at this confession of his family traditions.



I don’t mean to abuse you with conscience, and that is the point.

Conscience is a voluntary thing, a genetic instruction, a human physical governing principle, and like caring: conscience is voluntary. You either do, or you don’t care. You either have a conscience or you don’t have a conscience.

Some people (I read) are born without a conscience and the term (as far as I know) is necrophilia and/or narcissism. This can be tested – easily.

Ask a narcissist for a confession.

Care, driven by conscience, is the building blocks of social harmony, without which there is no hope for our species – we merely cease to exist – and the process on that road is illustrated with more than enough examples.

Someone with a working conscience (not someone born without one, and not someone who has had his or her conscience removed by falsehood and violence) confesses – eventually.

I’m not the authority on the illustration (with words) in the quotes, from the link. I’m the guy who has put the puzzle pieces together in such a way as to have the whole picture in view, making logical sense, and I got here by caring. This road is not the path of least resistance. The mind has to be open to undesirable illustrations, even those illustrations that test a person’s moral conscience.

If you know what I mean, and if you are not yet convinced I’m going to link and quote again, so as to prevent some skepticism, like footnoting. This next link and quote is meant to usher in a response to all the above, a response to the next link and quote, and a warning to those who are still refusing to care about our future.

http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Human-Destructiveness-Erich-Fromm/dp/080501604X

The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness:

EDIT: THE QUOTE FOLLOWING IS NOT FROM THE BOOK LINKED ABOVE

That quote comes from a book titled The Crimes and Punishment of I.G. Farben


The construction of I.G. Auschwitz has assured I.G. a unique place in business history. By adopting the theory and practice of Nazi morality, it was able to depart from the conventional economics of slavery in which slaves are traditionally treated as capital equipment to be maintained and serviced for optimum use and depreciated over a normal life span. Instead, I.G. reduced slave labor to a consumable raw material, a human ore from which the mineral of life was systematically extracted. When no usable energy remained, the living dross was shipped to the gassing chambers and cremation furnaces of the extermination center at Birkenau, where the S.S. recycled it into the German war economy: gold teeth for the Reichsbank, hair for mattresses, and fat for soap. Even the moans of the doomed became a work incentive, exhorting the remaining inmates to greater effort.

Did the average German worker (tax payer) care? The parallels are interesting. History is not repeating itself, tomorrow the cycle may break.

If you read the first link you may find the author report how the richest country bullies poor countries. The idea right now that I am communicating to you is to think ahead and employ sympathy; which is another manifestation of that genetic disposition to care, to “have” a conscience.

Right now the old boss is going out, just like Germany was the old boss, and just like England was the old boss, and just like Rome was the old boss, empires all. Think ahead and ask yourself who will be the new boss, and I can offer some clues.

Now, supposing that you have thought some, with care, think about what happens when you are no longer paying taxes to the boss. What happens when you are no longer a member of the richest country? Do you pay taxes toward maintaining your stature as being poor?

Seriously think about that, please.

Do you pay taxes so as to maintain your current level of poverty, once you become poor, and once you are no longer rich?

Have you arrived at a seemingly solid wall of ignorance? Poor people pay taxes so as to maintain their level of poverty.

Have I dented the armor in place between you and your conscience?

Here is a look, again (and not with pictures, and not with “moving” pictures, but seriously, with care, you might entertain, for a moment, the reality illustrated by the words), at what happens to poor people:

I don't mean to abuse you with verbal violence, but you have to understand what your government and its agents are doing. They go into villages, they haul out families. With the children forced to watch they castrate the father, they peel the skin off his face, they put a grenade in his mouth and pull the pin. With the children forced to watch they gang-rape the mother, and slash her breasts off. And sometimes for variety, they make the parents watch while they do these things to the children.

If you prefer not to care, not to look, not to hear, about this now, just wait. You can get a taste of reality later, as it moves closer in time and place. Forces are at work now to move power from here to there because here is out of fashion. Don’t mind me.

One more link:

http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22850.htm

I see a need to look at that link now, for some strange reason. Perhaps I am not your average Joe.

One more quote (before I leave you to your version of truth):

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.

When is it my turn?

The United States claims to be the world leader in medicine. But there's a dark side to western medicine that few want to acknowledge: The horrifying medical experiments performed on impoverished people and their children all in the name of scientific progress. Many of these medical experiments were conducted on people without their knowledge, and most were conducted as part of an effort to seek profits from newly approved drugs or medical technologies.

There may be many reasons to vote against an incumbent, but surely, failing to prevent thousands of avoidable, unnecessary deaths must be the strongest reason.

As a result of two recent Congressional votes, more Americans, Iraqis, Afghanis, and Pakistanis will continue to die or suffer unnecessarily, most of which could have been avoided if our members of Congress did their sworn duty instead of betraying us as well as the civilians in those three victimized countries.


Just this past week, members of Congress again had the opportunity to stop the Bush/Obama wars of aggression/occupation for resources and hegemony in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and, as in so many instances since 2002, they failed miserably.

Adding insult to injury, some of those responsible have been rewarded with lucrative careers in the private sector. Tenet, for example, is making millions of dollars in the intelligence business, including as a board member for defence contractor QinetiQ. And Jose Rodriguez, the former director of the CIA's National Clandestine Service who ordered the destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes, works with former CIA director Mike Hayden at the oddly named National Interest Security Company, an intelligence contractor. It's shameful that people responsible for one of America's darkest chapters are so richly rewarded.


 

Torture is a profitable business for some people, at the obvious expense of other people - depending upon your point of view.

A. Torturer

B. Victim 

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article23361.htm

Who profits by ignoring the innocent victims? 

According to even the Pentagon's own reckoning, for example, probably 85% of the captives being held at Guantanamo over the past eight years were not terrorists at all, and a fair number--probably the majority--weren't even fighting anyone when they were captured. I'm sure that the averages at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, or at the secret prison in Iraq are no better. The military was offering bounties in Iraq and Afghanistan for alleged terrorists, you see, and probably still is, but in both of those lawless, tribal countries, many people have used the offer to settle old feuds, turning in people they wanted to punish or dispose of, and many others just turned in random people to get the reward money.

On August 28th The New York Times reported: "In July, Leon E. Panetta, the CIA director, tried to head off the investigation [of the CIA's torture program], administration officials said. He sent the CIA's top lawyer, Stephen W. Preston, to [the Department of] Justice to persuade aides to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to abandon any plans for an inquiry." There's a term for this: Obstruction of Justice. You're not supposed to try to influence the outcome of an investigation. It was count six of the impeachment proceedings against President Nixon.

To Holder's credit, he has appointed a special prosecutor. To his discredit, the focus of the investigation is narrow: he will only go after officials who went beyond the Bush Administration's over-the-top torture directives (which allow, as seen above, freezing people to death). He does not plan to go after the worst criminals, who are the Bush Administration lawyers and officials, including Bush and Cheney themselves, who ordered the war crimes--much less those like Obama who are currently covering them up.

He should change his mind. While he's at it, he should throw Leon Panetta in jail.

Holder's brief currently involves just 20 cases, which include detainees who were murdered by the CIA. But even those will be tough to prosecute, reports The New York Times: "Evidence, witnesses and even the bodies of the victims of alleged abuses have not been found in all cases."

Because, you see, the bodies were burned and dumped.
They--the CIA--are Nazis for committing the crimes.

Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

When you look at footage of the fighting in Helmand today everyone assumes it is being played out against an ancient background of villages and fields built over the centuries.

This is not true. If you look beyond the soldiers, and into the distance, what you are really seeing are the ruins of one of the biggest technological projects the United States has ever undertaken. Its aim was to use science to try and change the course of history and produce a modern utopia in Afghanistan. The city of Lashkar Gah was built by the Americans as a model planned city, and the hundreds of miles of canals that the Taliban now hide in were constructed by the same company that built the San Francisco Bay Bridge and Cape Canaveral.

A former USAID official, Michael Walsh, the former director of USAID’s Office of Acquisition and Assistance and Chief Acquisition Officer, told the Commission that many USAID staff are “administering huge awards with limited knowledge of or experience with the rules and regulations.” According to one USAID official, the agency is “sending too much money, too fast with too few people looking over how it is spent.” As a result, the agency does not “know … where the money is going.”

Antonio Taguba said after investigating the Abu Ghraib abuses and finding they were part and parcel of official policy sanctioned at the highest levels of the U.S. Government, and not the acts of a few "rogue" agents: "there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account."

Gaza’s Health Minister, Dr Bassem Naim, said the study of the biological samples proved that the Israelis used internationally proscribed weapons against the Palestinians. He warned that the large percentage of toxic uranium in the territory would pose a real threat to future generations. Dr Naim added that his department will send the research findings to the relevant human rights authorities which are documenting Israeli war crimes in the territory.

And, given the current "false positive" scandal which has enveloped the government of President Alvaro Uribe and his Defense Minister, Juan Manuel Santos, who is now running to succeed Uribe as President, the Colombian Army's claim about the mass grave is especially suspect. This scandal revolves around the Colombian military, most recently under the direction of Juan Manuel Santos, knowingly murdering civilians in cold blood and then dressing them up to look like armed guerillas in order to justify more aid from the United States.

The BBC reported last month that doctors in the Iraqi city of Fallujah are reporting a high level of birth defects, with some blaming weapons used by the United States during its fierce onslaughts of 2004 and subsequently, which left much of the city in ruins. "It was like an earthquake," a local engineer who was running for a national assembly seat told the Washington Post in 2005. "After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was Fallujah." Now, the level of heart defects among newborn babies is said to be 13 times higher than in Europe.

The BBC correspondent also saw children in the city who were suffering from paralysis or brain damage, and a photograph of one baby who was born with three heads. He added that he heard many times that officials in Fallujah had warned women that they should not have children. One doctor in the city had compared data about birth defects from before 2003 — when she saw about one case every two months — with the situation now, when she saw cases every day. "I've seen footage of babies born with an eye in the middle of the forehead, the nose on the forehead," she said.

Meanwhile in the West Bank, always with firm U.S. backing, Israel has been carrying forward longstanding programs to take the valuable land and resources of the Palestinians and leave them in unviable cantons, mostly out of sight.  Israeli commentators frankly refer to these goals as “neocolonial.” Ariel Sharon, the main architect of the settlement programs, called these cantons “Bantustans,” though the term is misleading: South Africa needed the majority black work force, while Israel would be happy if the Palestinians disappeared, and its policies are directed to that end.

At 11 per cent, Greece’s deficit is no higher than America’s. However, when the Papandreou government tried to borrow on the international capital market, it was effectively blocked by the American corporate ratings agencies, which “downgraded” Greece to “junk”. These same agencies gave triple-A ratings to billions of dollars in so-called sub-prime mortgage securities and so precipitated the economic collapse in 2008.

What has happened in Greece is theft on an epic, though not unfamiliar scale. In Britain, the “rescue” of banks like Northern Rock and the Royal Bank of Scotland has cost billions of pounds. Thanks to the former prime minister, Gordon Brown, and his passion for the avaricious instincts of the City of London, these gifts of public money were unconditional, and the bankers have continued to pay each other the booty they call bonuses. Under Britain’s political monoculture, they can do as they wish. In the United States, the situation is even more remarkable, reports investigative journalist David DeGraw, “[as the principal Wall Street banks] that destroyed the economy pay zero in taxes and get $33 billion in refunds”.

If President Obama knew about this, authorized it and still supports it, then Obama has crossed a red line, and the president will stand revealed as an aggressive, militaristic liberal interventionist who bears a closer resemblance to the president he succeeded than to the ephemeral reformer that he pretended to be in 2008, when he ran for office. If he didn’t know, if he didn’t understand the order, and if he’s unwilling to cancel it now that it’s been publicized, then Obama is a feckless incompetent. Take your pick.

May 26, 2010 "The Times" -- Teams of American special forces have been authorised to conduct spying missions intended to pave the way for a military strike on Iran in case President Obama orders one, US government sources have confirmed.

The military units would penetrate Iranian territory to reconnoitre potential nuclear targets and make contact with friendly dissident groups, according to a secret directive written by General David Petraeus. The document’s existence was disclosed for the first time yesterday.

But, as Foreign Policy managing editor Blake Hounshell points out, the discovery in question dates to 2007, has been widely documented on US government websites for years, and the $1 trillion figure seems to have been conjured from thin air.  The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder points to evidence that the Soviets had documented this trove way back in 1985!

Friedman supports an attack on Iran, whose independence is intolerable. This is the psychopathic vanity of great power which Martin Luther King described as "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world." He was then shot dead.

The psychopathic is applauded across popular, corporate culture, from the TV death watch of a man choosing a firing squad over lethal injection to the Oscar winning Hurt Locker and a new acclaimed war documentary Restrepo. Directors of both films deny and dignify the violence of invasion as "apolitical." And yet behind the cartoon facade is serious purpose. The US is engaged militarily in 75 countries. There are some 900 US military bases across the world, many at the gateways to the sources of fossil fuels.

Last week, the Democratically controlled House of Representatives voted to give Barack Obama 33 billion more dollars to prosecute two idiotic and ill-advised wars. Of course they did—it wasn’t the first time since 2007 that a Democratic Congress voted to fund wars, and it won’t be the last—do you all know why? BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT PEACE—THEY ARE JUST ONE-HALF OF THE “WAR PARTY.”

This progression of lies has brought us to one of the most dangerous nuclear crises since 1945, because the real threat remains almost unmentionable in western establishment circles and therefore in the media. There is only one rampant nuclear power in the Middle East and that is Israel. The heroic Mordechai Vanunu tried to warn the world in 1986 when he smuggled out evidence that Israel was building as many as 200 nuclear warheads. In defiance of UN resolutions, Israel is today clearly itching to attack Iran, fearful that a new American administration might, just might, conduct genuine negotiations with a nation the west has defiled since Britain and America overthrew Iranian democracy in 1953.

In the New York Times on July 18, the Israeli historian Benny Morris, once considered a liberal and now a consultant to his country's political and military establishment, threatened "an Iran turned into a nuclear wasteland". This would be mass murder. For a Jew, the irony cries out.

The question begs: are the rest of us to be mere bystanders, claiming, as good Germans did, that "we did not know"?

It's no fun being on Washington's enemies list. Just ask Hugo Chavez. Last week, the Venezuelan president had to cancel a trip to Cuba after he was told that a coup was underway and his life was in danger. The information came from an anonymous source who had delivered a similar warning prior to the failed coup in 2002. The letter said: “The execution phase is accelerating..… There is an agreement between Colombia and the US with two objectives: one is Mauricio and the other is the overthrow of the government.… They will hunt down ‘Mauricio’ (and) try to neutralize part of the Armed Forces.” ("Venezuela Pushes for Peace", Coral Wynter, Green Left News)

“Mauricio” is Chavez's codename. Whoever is behind the coup, wants to kill Chavez.


 

 

Washington hates Chavez because he's raised living standards for the poor. (and because he won't bow to the giant corporations) That's why he's pilloried in the media, because his socialist model of democracy doesn't jive with America's slash and burn-style of capitalism. Chavez has enacted land and oil industry reform, improved education and provided universal healthcare. He's introduced job training, subsidies to single mothers, drug prevention programs, and assistance for recovering addicts. Venezuelans are more educated than ever before. Illiteracy has been wiped out.

Chavez's policies have reduced ignorance, poverty, and injustice. The list goes on and on. Venezuelans are more engaged in the political process than anytime in the nation's history. That scares Washington. US elites don't want well-informed, empowered people participating in the political process. They believe that task should be left to the venal politicians chosen by corporate bosses and top-hat banksters. That's why Chavez has to go. He's given people hope for a better life.

Movie director, Oliver Stone, summed it up perfectly in a recent interview with Nathan Gardels. He said, "The US remains hostile to anyone on the left coming to power in their "backyard," anyone who thinks the resources of a country belong to its people....For the first time in modern history, much of South America is beyond US control.....It is also beyond the influence of the US-dominated IMF."

Therefore, I had to raise an eyebrow the next day when BBC reported that of $9 billion allocated to the U.S. military to be used in Iraq reconstruction projects, fully $8.7 billion has gone missing. Proving, once again, that no matter how well plans are laid or how tightly “management” might think they are controlling things, gaps in process can open up that are wide enough to drive a Humvee through – a Humvee full of cash, in this particular case.

 

 

What would you do with 8.7 billion? What do you think a criminal will do to get 8.7 million? What if the criminal has no reservations about torturing and mass murdering innocent people? What if the criminal loves to torture and mass murder, especially the innocent?

Writing of another U.S. invasion—the Philippines in 1898—Bruce Cumings, an Asia historian at the University of Chicago, made an observation that applies all too aptly to Afghanistan today: “When a sailor sees that his heading is disastrous he changes course, but imperial armies sink their boots in quicksand and keep marching, if only in a circle, while the politicians plum the phrase book of American ideals.”

The people who bear the greatest legal and moral responsibility for these crimes are the politicians who send the military to war and the generals who plan the actions, and it may seem unfair to deny the front-line service personnel the label of “hero” when they did their duty as they understood it. But this talk of heroism is part of the way we avoid politics and deny the unpleasant fact that these are imperial wars. U.S. military forces are in the Middle East and Central Asia not to bring freedom but to extend and deepen U.S. power in a region home to the world’s most important energy resources. The nation exercising control there increases its influence over the global economy, and despite all the U.S. propaganda, the world realizes we have tens of thousands of troops on the ground because of those oil and gas reserves.

Many people take my viewpoint the wrong way. I can now offer my viewpoint as I see it, the right way.

That above, that link, is example of what I call: The Doom Day Parade.

I think that link above is false propaganda.

My viewpoint is: The future is as good as we make it.

If someone connected to me, by these links, and by my words, has the time, and has invested their time, in viewing that link, and if someone then feels doomed: I rest my case.

Not really.

I see an opportunity to express my viewpoint as it is, not as someone might think it is, not a viewpoint of doom, not a viewpoint of gloom, oh no, a viewpoint of opportunity.

When I view that video linked above I see a very false looking bit of information in the form of empty shelves at the grocery store as a result of a supposed panic, as a result of a series of events that remove the power to purchase anything with the dollar unit of money.

Suppose such a thing isn't false, as I think it is, and suppose that the shelves at the grocery store do empty: how should you feel?

Doomed?

How about happy instead?

If people need food, people make food available, unless other people make food unavailable. Be happy in knowing this as a fact, and I can offer some information that may help make you happy about a possible future where grocery store shelves are empty.

Here is a link:

http://vertigro.com/

Today, these days, many people are dependent upon vary large scale economic systems where the legal power has a lot of power over those systems - call it whatever you want, I call it "legal crime", but the label doesn't change what it is - exactly what it is, and what it does, exactly what it does, doesn't change when the label is changed.

In the future, as things decentralize, in many ways, each individual can make their own power, their own motor fuel, their own home heating fuel, their own air-conditioning fuel, their own fuel to pump water, filter water, condition water, all done at home by the home owner - no longer depending on anyone else to keep the power flowing, unless someone gains the power to turn off the Sun, and that someone uses that power, and the Sun goes out.

The link above links you to another new, and growing, power producer. The people at that link produce things that produce food stuff. The idea is to make the work of producing food stuff cheaper and so much cheaper that an individual person can become a productive farmer who makes high quality food cheaper than the food for sale on the shelf at the grocery store.

Be happy, don't fall victim to those who aim to make you feel doomed.

You are what you swallow.

Never has so much official energy been expended in ensuring journalists collude with the makers of rapacious wars which, say the media-friendly generals, are now "perpetual". In echoing the west's more verbose warlords, such as the waterboarding former US vice-president Dick Cheney, who predicated "50 years of war", they plan a state of permanent conflict wholly dependent on keeping at bay an enemy whose name they dare not speak: the public.

Smith-Mundt Act

According to this law, the materials which are produced to be broadcast through certain American media outlets cannot and should not be disseminated and publicized domestically and can be only available to the members of Congress and academicians. With the concerted efforts of several U.S. Congressmen, the Act was amended to read: "no program material prepared by the United States Information Agency shall be distributed within the United States."

Lies

Lies Target People


The link offers an angle of view to anyone seeking an angle of view; out of curiosity, or by some other function, such as logic, or concern.

Curiosity my drive a person to seek another angle of view so as to satisfy a desire for knowing another angle of view, or moving closer to knowing another angle of view, so long as curiosity is temporarily satisfied.

Logic may be at play when a person does seek another angle of view, as the person seeking another angle of view calculates a rough estimate of the odds that one single angle of view has the capacity to accurately view life, and concern may drive the effort to seek another angle of view to help improve the odds of accurately viewing life, so as to then be able to negotiate life along a better path, and avoid a worse path, by some accurate measure.

Lies target people who are, by some force, seeking another viewpoint, and the lie intends to drive those targeted people along a predetermined path chosen by the liar, and designed into the lie, as the lie accomplishes the intended task.

The link offered at the top of the page offers another angle of view to those who seek another angle of view. I offer that angle of view to those who welcome additional angles of view. I offer that angle of view to those who volunteer to be exposed to alternative angles of view. I have chosen that link, out of many possible choices, because that angle of view challenges one very big lie.

There are people who are targeted by the very big lie, and there are those who target people with the very big lie, and knowing the difference is a significant angle of view, that may be worth something to someone, someday.

A person who knows that the lie is a lie, by logical deduction, is a person that is not a target of the lie; knowing it is a lie, confesses a condition of life, of not being a target of the lie. Being aware of the lie, as a lie, confesses a lack of ignorance concerning that fact.

A person who believes that the lie is true, again by logical deduction, is a person who is targeted by the lie, ignorance confesses a condition of life, and action resulting from that state of ignorance can document the measure of effectiveness accountable to the liars who produce and maintain the lie, as the lie reaches the targeted victims, and as the lies contributes to the actions perpetrated by the true believers in the lie.

The big lie can be summed up as:

Obey

True believers in the big lie can be known by their actions, or their words, but their "actions speak louder" than their words.

Case in point:

A torturer may proclaim that their actions that torture someone are actions designed to spread democracy, or to protect the innocent, or save mankind, or enforce justice.

One might ask:

Why that person, why now, why torture; are you sure, beyond any reasonable doubt, that torturing that person, or those people, now, is the best possible act you can do, to accomplish the goal that you proclaim to be your goal?

If the answer is something along the lines of "I am just following orders", then before you now is a case in point, pointing out how the big lie works.

If the angle of view at the top of the page doesn't work for you, for whatever reason you stumbled upon it, out of curiosity, or whatever, and if then you have read this far, and my angle of view isn't working for you, I can measure that occurrence my own way, by your silence, since an alternative view does not exist within my view. Readers read, and are satisfied, not inspired to comment, not inspired to offer an alternative angle of view, and my measure of that silence is my single, ignorant, angle of view.

The power to know another angle of view is hidden, and my guess is that the one big lie orders silence, so my measure of the silence, from my myopic, and ignorant view, is that the sound of silence is another case of obedience.

Obey, I will not.

Spin

The spin on the use of math is one of omission. How fast can all the human beings kill each other when each one targets one other person?

That is simple math.

Now use math to count, as in 1, 2, 3, all the people who are targeting and killing other people.

How many did you count?

Now use exponential math, as shown in the Doom Day report (false by omission), to figure out how quickly the human species can use the power we have to make more power until we have an abundance of power?

What happens if each person buys one solar panel and then each person uses the solar panel to pay for itself - how long does that take?

How about 10 years?

If the solar panel then pays for a second one in 10 more years there will be twice as many Solar Panels in 20 years.

10 years go by and everyone pays for their first Solar Panel.

20 years go by and the first panel paid for a second Solar Panel for everyone.

Where does the power come from to pay for the second round of Solar Panels?

Sunlight = Electricity

1 Solar Panel pays for itself and makes one more Solar Panel.

The second generation of Solar Panels pay for 2 more each.

One become Two, Two becomes Four, Four becomes Eight.

Using the same math provided by the "professor": how long does it take before electric power is as abundant on earth, flowing like sunlight?

What happens when power is so abundant that is it costless?

How many people are still left on Earth willing to kill each other for power?

How many people are still left on Earth making the land uninhabitable in their work to take power from everyone else?

The "professor" claims that there won't be enough power to go around because that is his limited, and very ignorant, message to everyone else, as he uses math to make what he wants happen, in his mind, as if nothing else could be made to happen, and as if nothing else can be illustrated with math.

How about this:

Make power scarce on purpose

How about this:

How many places on Earth are now reducing in population numbers?

I power was allowed to be used to make more power, growing exponentially, instead of power being systematically made scarce to all but a few people, how long before the Human Species has enough power to colonize other planets?

Preying on the Poor

The poster case for government persecution of the down-and-out would have to be Edwina Nowlin, a homeless Michigan woman who was jailed in 2009 for failing to pay $104 a month to cover the room-and-board charges for her 16-year-old son’s incarceration. When she received a back paycheck, she thought it would allow her to pay for her son’s jail stay. Instead, it was confiscated and applied to the cost of her own incarceration.

False False Flag?

The Girl Scouts Lead the Charge

Edmonds said that the Pentagon operations with Islamists were an “extension” of an original ‘Gladio’ programme uncovered in the 1970s in Italy, part of an EU-wide NATO covert operation that began as early as the 1940s. As Swiss historian Dr. Daniele Ganser records in his seminal book, NATO’s Secret Armies, an official Italian parliamentary inquiry confirmed that British MI6 and the CIA had established a network of secret “stay-behind” paramilitary armies, staffed by fascist and Nazi collaborators. The covert armies carried out terrorist attacks throughout Western Europe, officially blamed on Communists in what Italian military intelligence called the ‘strategy of tension’.
“You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game” explained Gladio operative Vincenzo Vinciguerra during his  trial in 1984. “The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people… to turn to the State to ask for greater security.”

False Authority

Absolute Abject Belief in Falsehood Without Question is a well worn path.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Comments are made concerning how the machine is programmed to lie. I have news for that person speaking: The Constitution was that program made as a lie, as it is, by it's own wording, a refutation (usurpation) of The Declaration of Independence.

Where the truth is that it is the duty of free people to abolish (or at least stop investing into) criminal governments, where that duty is declared in that document called The Declaration of Independence, that duty is made into a crime by The Constitution.

That is the program that is the internal conflict, or the lie, in that machine that is falsely called a Federal Government.

In response to this:

World moving toward World War

I offer this:


If the next World War is just another Central Banking Legal Monopoly War for the profit of a few at the expense of everyone else, then the obvious game plan is to have Russia and America consume their economic power fighting each other and then China feeds (at inflated prices) those desperate combatants all that is needed to defeat the other.

China then mops up, and all the survivors owe China war debts, and that is the backing for the new World Reserve Currency.

This is precisely the replay of World War II whereby the old (raided) corporation of The Bank of England was consumed and dethroned from The World Reserve Currency Power and the new Dollar Hegemony finally became the official ruler of the world economy (political/economy).

Before East was against West (today's fictional story line) it was Monarchy (Divine right of Kings) versus Democracy (Rule of Law, government by the consent of the governed, no one above the law, etc.) whereby the story line was used to cover up the actual criminal powers behind the false front governments ruled by capture and control of a single legal money fraud and extortion organization.
The previous fictional cover story line was fit for the occasion since the actual power behind the Divine right of the English King, at the time of the American Revolution, was Communism, Fascism, and Crime BY Government all rolled up into one Corporate Crime Organization then commanding the worlds financial system behind the worlds system of trade.

A part, or wing, or subsidiary to the Monarchy/Central Bank of England organization was then called The East India Company.

http://majorityrights.com/weblog/comments/flags_of_the_unite...

Look at the Flag used in the picture at the start of the Essay by Paul Craig Roberts.

http://ronpaulinstitute.org/media/50736/pax-americana_195x12...

The PRIZE to be captured by any aspiring criminal in our world is the PRIZE of World Reserve Currency POWER. In order to keep that PRIZE those who have it now will not have much moral restraint governing their actions intending to maintain that power.
The criminals will lie to get that power, and the criminals will lie to keep that power.
Here is your flag, the criminals will say, and it is your flag.

What they mean, behind the lies, is that the gift they give is not yours to keep, as the gift they give is theirs to take at will.

While the criminals behind the East India Company Flag were aggressively taking control of the Chinese people using Opium as a weapon of mass destruction, they flew their flag.

It should not be any surprise to any American that the Chinese people are not going to be happy about the history of that Flag when they are told what is truly behind it.
The concept of aggressive war for profit of the few at the expense of the many, using weapons of mass destruction such as Opium, is not new, will be the NEWS offered to the assembled masses of citizens who are trained to obey the voice of authority.

So the old Jolly Roger Flag that once covered the Earth in absolute dictatorial POWER was replaced with the Stars and Stripes, and that happened on an obvious schedule, as the worst human beings consumed the former World Reserve Currency Power so as to usher in their improved version. Out went The Jolly Roger, The British Crown, The Bank of England, The East India Company, Black Slave Trade, and Opium Wars (control of China), and in came The Stars and Stripes, The (false) Federal Reserve, and the (false) Federal Income Tax, the Dollar Hegemony, World Bank, United Nations, New World Order, International Monetary Fund, and a new generation of Dictators ruling the world behind the false fronts of flags and legal money monopoly POWER.

So it should not be a surprise to anyone as the wealth created by you is stolen, sent to China, building up the Chinese economy, while the forces of America and Russia will be consumed in the East versus West Fictional Battle of "random" human insanity, as if no one, no where, could possibly be pulling those strings on purpose.
The Chinese flag in 100 years takes the place of The Stars and Stripes, just as the Stars and Stripes replaced the Jolly Roger, as the false flags cover the earth in lies, threats, and violence.

This round may be different, not only because this time the destructive power commanded by these people is sufficient to destroy all life on Earth, but because of the rapidly growing POWER of accurate information which could alert all the victims in time for the victims to then have the POWER required to defend against such wanton destruction by so few.

http://nationallibertyalliance.org/default.html

In any case the power of each individual working for good will be possible so long as there is at least one moral human being left alive.

The best think-tanks have known this for several decades now and have kept it hush hush to keep prices of oil high and help the oil industry. This was necessary because oil companies have huge assets and those assets are put to good use in infrastructure, research and development in more than simple oil production. Capitalism requires that certain commodities be given a value above and beyond the cost of procurement. Now that we have a leak which will not be able to be plugged, it’s time to prepare and explain what exactly is going on with the Deep Horizon well and why it is almost impossible to cap that Genie back in the bottle.

5G APOCALYPSE - THE EXTINCTION EVENT

Time: 1:07 or so


"“The Minister for the Environment has a duty. His duty is primarily to ensure that there is cleaner, better, healthier environment for people in this country. It’s a simple duty. He also has a responsibility in regards to science and innovation to make sure that that happens. What seems to be happening here, in fact one would say undoubtedly happening here, is he is using science and innovation to ensure that our right to life is threatened. There have been no public debates, there is no public discourse, there are no public disclosures as to why, when, how, what is going on in regard to 5G. That by itself is a breach of ministerial responsibility, and one which we really should look at in terms of private prosecution against the ministers who have failed to protect our right to life.”
