Are you Open to Change? - A Message from the Angels ~ via Tazjima

Are you open to Change?
 
The rumbles of change, internal and external are currently reverberating across the face of the planet. Are you open to change happening in your life?

We are the angelic legions of the Divine Mother and speak as a collective. We are One with the Mother / Father God, one with Creator. We are one with you, also.

We come to you today to speak of the necessity of letting go of expectation and even of disappointment. Things have a way of working out when you least expect it, if you are willing to forgo the need to control the world outside yourself.

You have been told that the Universe loves you. It loves you so much that those things you place your attention upon will visit you, sometimes repeatedly, until you realize that, yes, you are the creator of your own world. It is how you choose to apply your attention that determines what you will experience.

Science is discovering that each person is a focus of intention and attention. The observer will always affect the outcome of an experiment. The observer is both the observed and the act of observing. It is a loop of intention, attention and playing out of experience.

As a being with free will, it is your responsibility, then, to determine what you wish to experience in life.

Not many people are ready or willing to accept such a responsibility, but those who are intent on attaining ascension in this lifetime or the next, must make this intention in order to master their creations.

The tools needed to attain ascension are simple. The application and daily usage of these tools takes determination, focus and a willingness to release judgment, of self and others. It also takes a willingness to live in joy and wonder, even while the world around you implodes with violence and chaos.

The events of the past week have challenged the emotional bodies of many. Some are seeking security through outer measures, whether by moving from the affected areas, simplifying their lives, living closer to the earth, buying guns and supplies. We do not recommend any choice over another. It is up to each individual to follow the guidance of their inner being and heart center. We will caution you, however; if you are determined to react in fear, fearful events may come upon you.

It is very important to review the simple tools of meditation, grounding, centering, going to the higher mind, uniting with the soul in the heart center and so on. Learn how to use these tools and methods and then live them.

Whatever choices you make now will determine what you are to experience in the remainder of the intense period of transition as the various timelines or “worlds” begin to separate out.

When we say “worlds” we mean an expression of frequency. Each individual will find their level as a result of their intention and attention, in accordance with the raising up of their frequency levels or the lowering of them due to reacting through fear. And even though you may not be personally affected by lower frequencies, you will observe them as you are not going anywhere.

Life is happening here on planet Earth. You can choose to step out of the drama currently being played out or to remain in it. You can choose to live in hell or to be one of those who are bringing heaven to earth.


Before 12/12/12, many light-workers were seeking to be brought magically into a new world without effort on their part. Where is the mastery in this? You are all masters, every one of you who now walks upon the face of the planet. It is up to you to determine in what manner you wish to demonstrate that mastery and at what pace.

We do not seek to judge whatever an individual chooses as their experience. Each soul has placed its soul extensions here, during these extraordinary times, as a means of learning more about itself. The learning curve is very steep and intense, but meeting the challenge of the times will be extremely rewarding in terms of self-knowledge and wisdom.

Understand that you will not be magically translated physically to another world. Neither will you experience those other planes of existence spiritually unless you work on connecting through the inner planes and even then you will continue to observe the events of the world around you. How you choose to react or not to those events is how your mastery is tested. This kind of mastery cannot be accomplished by one who will not let go of the prevailing mores of society and the constructs of fear and control of the departing paradigm. In short, if you choose to act as victim or abuser, scenarios related to these roles will continue to play out in your life. Be the observer and let go of judgment. Be love and you will see love reflected in the faces of those who surround you. Allow others to play in their own creations if they choose not to play in yours.

Change must come from within the individual before it is reflected in the outer world. If you wish to see change in your world, be that change, from inside. Learn to work with the soul, with the archangels, the animal and mineral kingdoms from the inside; join with your monad. Do the individual work and return to the state of living master of your own world. Since you are the observer, the observed and the act of observing, change will be reflected in your daily activities.

Although you may be willing to accept change into your life, understand that many individuals are not. They have and will continue to choose to play in the wake of the departing paradigm, even as it crashes to the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to release judgment and to forgive yourself for any lapses that you might experience, as well, as the waves of emotional and mental turmoil roil through the atmosphere.

As you develop your inner senses you will find yourself both more sensitive to the existence of thought-forms and how they can impact your behavior and emotions. You can choose to detach from self-judgment and judgment of others as you are momentarily overtaken by the surprise wave of emotion as a thought or old memory enters your mind.

Realize that these old memories and thoughts are coming up for release. Choose to detach and let them flow through you, disconnecting from the energy of the emotion attached to the thought. Much of what you experience in this subtle fashion is not “yours” but belongs to those who have chosen to run your life for you before you chose the path of self-mastery, whether they be your erst-while controllers or those whom you have loved, parents, children, friends, work associates and neighbors.

Understand dear ones that humanity is in the process of reopening into a unified field of consciousness. You are a collective, yet each individual will experience today and in the days to come different things depending on where their attention is placed. Each member of humanity, as cells of the collective body of humanity, will experience their own scenario and yet be influenced by what goes on in the life of others. As an individual and as a collective, the mis-creations of humanity are being cleared; just how difficult that clearing may be, is up to the choices made by each member of the collective.

As way-showers and leaders of humanity, chosen to guide the lost and sleeping masses into a new age, into a higher frequency and manner of living, it is up to you to choose, or not, to attain your own self-mastery so your manner of being will shine out as an example to the ones who live and work around you. Each of you has the opportunity to be a shining light, perhaps living quietly at first, but as your mastery increases perhaps becoming that teacher or guide who is just the one needed to bring calm and loving change into the world of those they love.

If you are unsure that you have the needed wisdom and knowledge to obtain mastery, know now that what you need is within. Discover a way to connect with your soul and monad and you will have access to all that you require to re-member what you chose to forget upon coming here. The veils of forgetfulness are being lifted for each person. Just how fast you are able to assimilate the “new” knowledge and knowingness will be dependent on your willingness to detach from the expectations of others and from your own self-judgment.

Learn to like yourself. Learn to love yourself for your life and experience starts from the center of your being, from the heart, and flows out into the world that you see around you. That world is a reflection of your consciousness and will undergo transformation even as you are willing to accept the mastery you left behind in the higher worlds.

Understand that you cannot force change onto another for that is a violation of free will. Each individual has their own speed as to how they will allow change to affect their lives, but change is inevitable as the sun rising and setting. It will come, whether in the form of revolution or evolution. It is your choice. Your response to this change, whether to react or act or simply be, will determine the course of your life in the years to come.

There is an old expression in parts of your world, “He had a change of heart…” that is used to explain sudden turn-a-rounds in the actions of an individual reflected through the choice to open his /her heart to those who are around them. It is not so much as a change of heart but the fact that the individual somehow connected with the wisdom of the heart and so changed the manner of his / her reaction or not to the world around them. You can experience change, the change you want to experience, by choosing to connect with your heart, the avenue for connecting with the higher worlds.

By connecting with your heart center, you can be the change you want to see and experience in your world. It must start from the center and move out as a wave into the world. Be a part of that wave of love that is engulfing the world, driving out the darkness and shining light upon long hidden secrets, both dark and terrible and light and loving. You are love and you are loved, whatever you choose to do.

You have been taught to look outside of yourself for salvation, whether through another individual, your church, the government, your family or spouse, a business associate or others. In these energies, however, it is necessary to turn away from seeking outside to seeking within. When you make the connection you will know. Fear will dissipate and reveal itself as an illusion spun out of a desire to control and dominate. You will know what to do as you learn to tune into your inner guidance and wisdom.

One who walked among you as a Teacher once said, “Seek the Kingdom of God within.” The kingdom of which this one spoke is your connection with your soul and monad through your own heart center. In coming to center, you are returning Home, no matter what circumstances are reflected in your outer life.

Go with our blessings, beloveds, for you are loved by us and by your Mother / Father God. If you need assistance or guidance, call upon us and we will be there. We are one with you in the eternal Now.

Thank you, beloved Angels.

URGENT: Boston Bombing Suspects’ Aunt ID’s Naked/Alive Detainee as Slain Nephew – FBI Lies

Tony Cartalucci
Prison Planet.com
April 22nd, 2013

Independent investigative journalist Dan Dicks of Press For Truth produced a videodetailing his interview with the Boston bombing suspects’ aunt where she identifies a naked, cuffed, clearly alive and well detainee seen in video aired by CNN, as her nephew and Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Tamerlan Tsarnaev would later be announced “dead,” with injuries covering his body from “head to toe.” The aunt is reportedly in fear for her life.

 

As an increasing number of inconsistencies and outright lies accumulate regarding the FBI’s handling of the case, protection must be provided to the suspects’ family. Members of the alternative media with the resources and the ability to provide protective watch over family members, seems a prudent measure to both protect innocent lives and to further pursue the truth.

The FBI Has Now Lied Big, TWICE


The FBI originally feigned ignorance over the identity of the two Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, as they appealed to an unwitting public to help them “identify” and “find” the suspects.

 

The Tsarnaev brothers’ family, immediately after their identities were confirmed by Boston police and the FBI, claimed that the FBI had contacted the suspects years ago and had monitored their activity for years since. The mother of the suspects claimed to Russia Today that her sons were set up by the FBI. Russia Today, in an article titled, “‘They were set up, FBI followed them for years’- Tsarnaevs’ mother to RT,” stated of the suspects’ mother:

But her biggest suspicion surrounding the case was the constant FBI surveillance she said her family was subjected to over the years. She is surprised that having been so stringent with the entire family, the FBI had no idea the sons were supposedly planning a terrorist act.

She would say of the FBI to Russia Today:

“They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me…they were telling me that he [the older, 26-y/o Tamerlan] was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites… they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act! Never ever is this true, my sons are innocent!”

Additionally, the suspects’ uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told NBC news in an article titled, “Uncle: Mentors ‘radicalized’ older Boston bombing suspect,” that:

“I strongly believe they were just puppets and executors of something of bigger scale.”

“There certainly were mentors. I was shocked when I heard his words, his phrases, when every other word he starts sticking in words of God. I question what he’s doing for work, (and) he claimed he would just put everything in the will of God. It was a big concern to me. He called me ‘confused’ when I started explaining to him, make yourself useful to yourself and to your family and maybe you’ll have extra to share with everybody else.

“It wasn’t devotion, it was something, as it’s called, being radicalized. Not understanding what he is talking (about). He is just using words for the sake of the words and not understanding the meaning of it.’’

CBS would report that the FBI would initially deny having any prior contact with the suspects. In their report, “CBS News: FBI Interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev 2 Years Ago,” CBS claimed:

CBS News reports although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers’ mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

The FBI would then be forced to concede that indeed it had interviewed the suspects, in 2011, two years before the Boston bombings. Finally disclosed on April 19, 2013 in an official statement that can be found on FBI.govthe FBI would state:

The two individuals believed to be responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday have been positively identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now deceased, and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, now in custody. These individuals are brothers and residents of Massachusetts. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a legal permanent resident and Dzhokar Tsarnaev is a naturalized U.S. citizen. Charges have not yet been filed against Dzhokar Tsarnaev and he is presumed innocent.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, was previously designated as Suspect 1, wearing a black hat. Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, age 19, was designated as Suspect 2, wearing a white hat. Both were born in Kyrgyzstan.

Once the FBI learned the identities of the two brothers today, the FBI reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.

In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.

However, the case was not “closed,” as the FBI claims. It is now revealed that the “foreign government” that asked the FBI for information on Tamerlan Tsarnaev was Russia, and that Russia again contacted the FBI 6 months ago after the suspect traveled to Russia’s Caucasus region and was apparently in contact with terrorists, long-revealed to be supported, funded, and coddled by the US.

The British Daily Mail in their article titled, “Russia asked FBI to investigate bomber just 6 MONTHS ago after being spotted with ‘a militant’ on trip to Dagestan: Was it this known terrorist who Boston killer liked on YouTube?,” would state:

Speculation is growing that one of the Boston bombers met a known Jihadist terrorist in 2011 – as it emerged the FBI failed to follow up on a Russian tip that he was seen with an Islamic militant six times.

The Daily Mail would also report that:

The FBI has confirmed that Russia alerted the agency in 2011 that Tsarnaev had ties to ‘radical Islam’ groups in his homeland. Homeland Security sources have also revealed the agency received tips in 2012 about his ties to extremists connected to a Boston mosque.

The FBI is confirmed to be serial liars engaged in a coverup, revealing information about its long-standing relationship with the Boston bombing suspects only when cornered by a mounting body of evidence. Inconceivable then, that the US government and the American public have entrusted the investigation of the Boston bombings to the FBI who is clearly obstructing justice.

Now more than ever, crowd-sourced investigation must be conducting into photographs and video that may reveal the true events that transpired before and after the Boston Marathon bombings. Journalists across the alternative media must interview and draw public attention to the suspects’ family in order to protect them and bring to light any information that may reveal the true nature of the increasingly suspicious relationship the FBI had with the suspects for years prior to the bombings.

Saving the Ship – Establishment Using “Double Agents,” “Islamophobia” to “Seal Off” Compromised Operation

Already the establishment, like a ship striking an iceberg and taking on water, is racing around to compartmentalize and seal off each agency and political faction involved to keep the rest of the establishment afloat. The FBI’s attempt to feign ignorance has failed, and it appears that at least Israeli sources are trying to prepare ahead of time for revelations that may indeed reveal the suspects were working directly for the FBI.

Israel’s Debka proposes in their report, “The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror trap,” that:

The conclusion reached by debkafile’s counterterrorism and intelligence sources is that the brothers were double agents, hired by US and Saudi intelligence to penetrate the Wahhabi jihadist networks which, helped by Saudi financial institutions, had spread across the restive Russian Caucasian.
Instead, the two former Chechens betrayed their mission and went secretly over to the radical Islamist networks.

A more likely explanation, however, is that the FBI led the suspects along in yet another manufactured terror attack that was allowed to go “live.” The FBI has an extensive history (see: NYT: FBI Hatches Terror Plots) of not only providing targets with weapons, explosives, vehicles and plans engineered from start to finish by undercover FBI agents, but has also allowed these operations to go “live,” as was seen in New York City in 1993 during the World Trade Center bombing.

FBI agents, according to the New York Times, were indeed overseeing the bombers that detonated a device killing six and wounding many more at the World Trade Center. In their article, “Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast,” NYT reported:

Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after the blast.

The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer said.

The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretly made of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as in a far better position than previously known to foil the Feb. 26 bombing of New York City’s tallest towers. The explosion left six people dead, more than 1,000 injured and damages in excess of half a billion dollars.

Debka is attempting to preempt what would essentially be the revealing of the US-Saudi-Israeli international false-flag/terror racket, used to perpetuate a global hegemonic war that has produced for all those involved trillions of dollars in profits and unprecedented geopolitical preeminence. Operations where this true axis of terror is currently running, such as the ongoing sectarian bloodbath in Syria, would be endangered, if not entirely foiled, should the Boston bombings be traced directly back to an FBI false-flag operation.

Failing to spin the FBI’s involvement as either an intelligence failure or explained away by “double agents,” the faux-right is preparing to pry off the the entire faux-left, using its Islamophobia-racket to play out the “Obama the Muslim” narrative (see: “”Obama the Muslim:” Ploy to Cover-up Years of US-Al Qaeda Support“). By doing so, at least half of the establishment’s “ship” will remain afloat in the wake of revelations the US killed and horribly maimed its own citizens in a false flag operation.

While America’s political establishment appears to be divided neatly into “left” and “right” camps, in reality, a singular corporate-financier oligarchy runs a singular agenda, compartmentalized for just these sort of situations. Lies regarding “weapons of mass destruction” and a horrific 10 year war that left millions dead, maimed, displaced or otherwise effected, can be jettisoned with the Bush Administration. And while the arming and funding of Al Qaeda occurred throughout the Bush Administration, it appears that the establishment is preparing to jettison US support for Al Qaeda with the Obama Administration.

It is essential to understand and identify the corporate-financier interests that rise above partisan politics and have profited from the continued “War on Terror” under both the Bush and Obama Administrations. It is then essential to understand the key to undermining and ultimately throwing off this insidious co-opt of America, its people, and its destiny, is to boycott and replace permanently with local alternatives, the corporate-financier interests behind it.

TTamerlan Tsarnaev killed. His brother Dzhokhar captured

The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror trap

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis April 20, 2013, 4:39 PM (GMT+02:00)

Tags:  Boston tag_arrow.gif  bombing attack tag_arrow.gif  Caucasus tag_arrow.gif  Saudi Arabia tag_arrow.gif  Terrorism tag_arrow.gif  FBI tag_arrow.gif Intelligence tag_arrow.gif
TTamerlan Tsarnaev killed. His brother Dzhokhar captured
Tamerlan Tsarnaev killed. His brother Dzhokhar captured, who really killed him after he was captured alive and uninjured?

 

The big questions buzzing over Boston Bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have a single answer: It emerged in the 102 tense hours between the twin Boston Marathon bombings Monday, April 15 – which left three dead, 180 injured and a police officer killed at MIT - and Dzohkhar’s capture Friday, April 19 in Watertown.

The conclusion reached by DEBKAfile’s counterterrorism and intelligence sources is that the brothers were double agents, hired by US and Saudi intelligence to penetrate the Wahhabi jihadist networks which, helped by Saudi financial institutions, had spread across the restive Russian Caucasian.

Instead, the two former Chechens betrayed their mission and went secretly over to the radical Islamist networks.

By this tortuous path, the brothers earned the dubious distinction of being the first terrorist operatives to import al Qaeda terror to the United States through a winding route outside the Middle East – the Caucasus.

This broad region encompasses the autonomous or semi-autonomous Muslim republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, North Ossetia and Karachyevo-Cherkesiya, most of which the West has never heard of.

Moscow however keeps these republics on a tight military and intelligence leash, constantly putting down violent resistance by the Wahhabist cells, which draw support from certain Saudi sources and funds from the Riyadh government for building Wahhabist mosques and schools to disseminate the state religion of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis feared that their convoluted involvement in the Caucasus would come embarrassingly to light when a Saudi student was questioned about his involvement in the bombng attacks while in a Boston hospital with badly burned hands.

They were concerned to enough to send Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saudi al-Faisal to Washington Wednesday, April 17, in the middle of the Boston Marathon bombing crisis, for a private conversation with President Barack Obama and his national security adviser Tom Donilon on how to handle the Saudi angle of the bombing attack.
That day too, official Saudi domestic media launched an extraordinary three-day campaign. National and religious figures stood up and maintained that authentic Saudi Wahhabism does not espouse any form of terrorism or suicide jihadism and the national Saudi religion had nothing to do with the violence in Boston.  “No matter what the nationality and religious of the perpetrators, they are terrorists and deviants who represent no one but themselves.”

Prince Saud was on a mission to clear the 30,000 Saudi students in America of suspicion of engaging in terrorism for their country or religion, a taint which still lingers twelve years after 9/11. He was concerned that exposure of the Tsarnaev brothers’ connections with Wahhabist groups in the Caucasus would revive the stigma.

The Tsarnaevs' recruitment by US intelligence as penetration agents against terrorist networks in southern Russia explains some otherwise baffling features of the event:
1.  An elite American college in Cambridge admitted younger brother Dzhokhar and granted him a $2,500 scholarship, without subjecting him to the exceptionally stiff standard conditions of admission. This may be explained by his older brother Tamerlan demanding this privilege for his kid brother in part payment for recruitment.
2.  When in 2011, a “foreign government” (Russian intelligence) asked the FBI to screen Tamerlan for suspected ties to Caucasian Wahhabist cells during a period in which they had begun pledging allegiance to al Qaeda, the agency, it was officially revealed, found nothing incriminating against him and let him go after a short interview.

He was not placed under surveillance. Neither was there any attempt to hide the fact that he paid a long visit to Russia last year and on his return began promoting radical Islam on social media.
Yet even after the Boston marathon bombings, when law enforcement agencies, heavily reinforced by federal and state personnel, desperately hunted the perpetrators, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was never mentioned as a possible suspect

3.  Friday, four days after the twin explosions at the marathon finishing line, the FBI released footage of Suspect No. 1 in a black hat and Suspect No. 2 in a white hat walking briskly away from the crime scene, and appealed to the public to help the authorities identify the pair.
We now know this was a charade. The authorities knew exactly who they were. Suddenly, during the police pursuit of their getaway car from the MIT campus on Friday, they were fully identified. The brother who was killed in the chase was named Tamerlan, aged 26, and the one who escaped, only to be hunted down Saturday night hiding in a boat, was 19-year old Dzhokhar.

Our intelligence sources say that we may never know more than we do today about the Boston terrorist outrage which shook America – and most strikingly, Washington - this week. We may not have the full story of when and how the Chechen brothers were recruited by US intelligence as penetration agents – any more than we have got to the bottom of tales of other American double agents who turned coat and bit their recruiters.

Here is just a short list of some of the Chechen brothers’ two-faced predecessors:

In the 1980s, an Egyptian called Ali Abdul Saoud Mohamed offered his services as a spy to the CIA residence in Cairo. He was hired, even though he was at the time the official interpreter of Ayman al-Zuwahiri, then Osama bin Laden’s senior lieutenant and currently his successor.

He accounted for this by posing as a defector. But then, he turned out to be feeding al Qaeda US military secrets. Later, he was charged with Al Qaeda’s 1998 bombings of US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es-Salaam.
On Dec. 30, 2009, the Jordanian physician Humam Khalil al-Balawi, having gained the trust of US intelligence in Afghanistan as an agent capable of penetrating al Qaeda’s top ranks, detonated a bomb at a prearranged rendezvous in Kost, killing the four top CIA agents in the country.
Then, there was the French Muslim Mohamed Merah. He was recruited by French intelligence to penetrate Islamist terror cells in at least eight countries, including the Caucasus. At the end of last year, he revealed his true spots in deadly attacks on a Jewish school in Toulouse and a group of French military commandoes.

The debate has begun over the interrogation of the captured Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarmayev when he is fit for questioning after surgery for two bullet wounds and loss of blood. The first was inflicted during the police chase in which his brother Tamerlan was killed.

An ordinary suspect would be read his rights (Miranda) and be permitted a lawyer. In his case, the “public safety exemption” option may be invoked, permitting him to be questioned without those rights, provided the interrogation is restricted to immediate public safety concerns. President Barack Obama is also entitled to rule him an “enemy combatant” and so refer him to a military tribunal and unrestricted grilling.

According to DEBKAfile’s counter terror sources, four questions should top the interrogators' agenda:

a) At what date did the Tsarnaev brothers turn coat and decide to work for Caucasian Wahhabi networks?

b) Did they round up recruits for those networks in the United States - particularly, among the Caucasian and Saudi communities?
c)  What was the exact purpose of the Boston Marathon bombings and their aftermath at MIT in Watertown?
d) Are any more terrorist attacks in the works in other American cities by the Cabal?

E) If these are the Patsies who may or may not have done this, then who are the real ones behind this, the DC?

The DC & END Times Scenario

I awoke feeling bad ,nearly coughing my lungs out today, 

The DC doesn't want to stop the deadly games they play.

There supposed to stop spraying us,so we are told,

the deadly game doesn't end, why are they so bold.

Achs and pains all over, my aging body does feel,

What's the point to all of this, end game they steal.

The 5D Ascension time is near, or so our allies say,

So why do they spray us, if they are leaving anyway.

Are they afraid that they will lose there invisible empire,

How long do they think we will be slaves to there desire.

Where are our Allies,when we need them to save us from this DC punishment,

Then they shoot the kids in school, &cinma's bombs on the streets,to show there resentment.

They've gone to far this time,for surely they know no shame,

My heart goes out to all the parents,& friends who knows not who to blame.

Tell me,What good does it do to take more innocent young lives,

To poison our food ,water air and minds, with Deception & lies.

Is there no end to this human sacrifice of our blood & tears,

were barely able to function, its been way far to many years,

Were told the 4D light at the end of the tunnel was near at hand,

but how long will it take for them, the DC to really understand.

There seems to be no end to this evil game that they engage in,

There's no winners, only losers, for there's no way for them to win.

Tell me my friend, how are we supposed to be able to Ascend,

If they keep pulling us down in the mire & they make no amends.

How shall we rise up in the midst of this sickness and slaughter,

They seem to have no feelings for us or our sons and daughters.

Earthquake survivors rest in a tent in Gonghe, near Ya'an, China 21 April

China quake: Rescuers battle to reach survivors
Tens of thousands of survivors spent the night away from their homes

Rescue teams in China's Sichuan province are struggling to reach survivors of a powerful 6.6-magnitude earthquake in remote hill villages, with debris blocking roads.

Dressed in bright orange uniforms, they could be seen moving up mountain paths on foot on Sunday.

Soldiers worked all night to search villages and treat the injured, while local people slept in shelters or cars.

The quake has left 203 dead or missing and has injured some 11,500.

The latest figures were given by China's Ministry of Civil Affairs, quoted by Xinhua. It said 960 of the injured were in serious condition.

China's new Premier, Li Keqiang, told state media from a tent in the disaster zone: "The rescue effort is our first duty."

The first 72 hours is the golden period for rescue”

Villages close to the epicentre in Lushan county were left in ruins. At least 1,100 aftershocks followed the quake, which struck at 08:02 local time (00:02 GMT) on Saturday.

"It was as if the mountain was alive," a 68-year-old woman with a broken arm, who had lost her home, told AFP news agency at a Lushan hospital.

Japan has set aside its disputes with China to offer any help that is required.

Beijing said overseas assistance was not needed at the moment but that it would contact Tokyo if that changed.

Chen Yong, the vice-director of the Ya'an city government earthquake response office, said the death toll may not rise much more.

"We understand the situation in most areas. Most of the casualties have been reported. In some remote mountain areas, it is possible that we don't fully understand the situation," he said.

Boulders dynamited

Ambulances, fire engines and military lorries piled high with supplies were waiting in long lines along blocked roads in the province on Sunday.

Correspondents say the hill villages, where farmers grow rice, vegetables and corn on terraced plots, were hit the hardest.

Kevin Xia, of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said: "Supplies have had difficulty getting into the region because of the traffic jams. Most of our supplies are still on the way."

In one village in Baoxing county, Longmen, nearly all the buildings were destroyed, officials said.

Rescuers were forced to dynamite boulders that had fallen across some roads, while overnight rain slowed rescue work, according to state media.

A military vehicle carrying 17 soldiers plummeted over a cliff. One soldier was killed and others injured.

Mr Li, who arrived on Saturday afternoon by helicopter to direct rescue efforts, visited hospitals and tents, and climbed on a pile of rubble to view the devastation, Xinhua reports.

"The first 72 hours is the golden period for rescue," he told officials. "We cannot delay by a minute."

Tens of thousands of people spent the night in tents or cars, unable to return home or too afraid to go back because of the aftershocks.

Sichuan province was devastated by a massive quake five years ago. Tens of thousands of people were killed and five million lost their homes.

Many of the collapsed buildings were schools and nurseries, leading to widespread criticism of local government's planning policies.

But Mr Chen said that this had not happened this time.

"The Chinese government has put a lot of money into building schools and hospitals. I can guarantee that no schools collapsed," he told Reuters.

Full Extent of FBI Role in Boston Bombing Will Never Be Known nyterror

Full Extent of FBI Role in Boston Bombing Will Never Be Known

Kurt Nimmo Prison Planet.com

April 20, 2013

FBI cooked the bomb in 1993 WTC bombing but this fact is omitted from the official narrative.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, brother of the dead FBI asset Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is now an enemy combatant. Due to this, the role the FBI played in the deadly bombing will never come to light.

“Now that the suspect is in custody, the last thing we should want is for him to remain silent,” said senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured last night in Watertown, Massachusetts. “It is absolutely vital the suspect be questioned for intelligence gathering purposes. We need to know about any possible future attacks which could take additional American lives. The least of our worries is a criminal trial which will likely be held years from now.”

“Our goal at this critical juncture should be to gather intelligence and protect our nation from further attacks. We remain under threat from radical Islam and we hope the Obama Administration will seriously consider the enemy combatant option.”

The Obama administration has decided to follow a 2010 memorandum from the Justice Department. It strikes the customary Miranda warning and allows the government to question suspected terrorists and deny legal representation and Fifth Amendment protection. “The exception allows agents to ask questions reasonably prompted by an immediate concern for the public’s safety,” theWashington Post reports today. “Additionally, it says that in ‘exceptional’ cases, agents may conclude that continued ‘unwarned’ investigation is warranted.”

After Zubeidat K. Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston bombing suspects Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, said Friday that her eldest son Tamerlan was under the control of the FBI, the agency responded by stating that it had “interviewed” him at the behest of the Russian government. Russia suspected Tsarnaeva of being a Chechen terrorist.

“In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history,” the FBI said in a statement. “The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.”

Considering the FBI’s track record in setting up and busting would-be terrorists, this explanation is suspect. The case will be handled like the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people and injured over a thousand. Recordings released by the New York Times revealed that the FBI cooked the bomb used in the attack, but this key fact is now omitted from the official narrative on the bombing.

“The implications are of course, with the FBI’s current nationwide stable of patsies being trained, directed, and provided material support to carry out attacks the FBI then ‘foils,’ is at any given moment, any one of these operations can be switched ‘live’ just as in 1993,” writes Tony Cartalucci.The resulting carnage can then be used to manipulate public opinion just as it was in 1993, 2001, on 7/7 in London, and in Madrid, Spain in 2004.”

The FBI’s highly suspicious contact with Tsarnaeva will be underplayed in the short term and omitted in the long term as the government’s official narrative takes its final mythological shape and the war on manufactured terror is reinvigorated.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been cosigned the status of enemy combatant as delineated under the Military Commissions Act. Due to this, we will never know the full extent of the FBI’s role in killing three people and injuring 183 in Boston on April 15, 2013.

Continuing its hunt for habitable planets, Kepler mission has discovered 3 new planets in “habitable zones” of their solar system, NASA revealed on Thursday, April 18, 2013. Two of the newly discovered planets are most Earth-like planets found to date. They belong to system Kepler-62, which is located 1,200 light-years from Earth and are called Kepler-62e, 62f, whereas third one is Kepler-69c in Kepler-69 system located 2,700 light-years from Earth.

Whether life could exist on these planets or not is yet...

Continuing its hunt for habitable planets, Kepler mission has discovered 3 new planets in “habitable zones” of their solar system, NASA revealed on Thursday, April 18, 2013. Two of the newly discovered planets are most Earth-like planets found to date. They belong to system Kepler-62, which is located 1,200 light-years from Earth and are called Kepler-62e, 62f, whereas third one is Kepler-69c in Kepler-69 system located 2,700 light-years from Earth. All three are categorized super-Earth-sized and being in habitable zone means their distance from corresponding stars might have allowed water to exist.

Whether life could exist on these planets or not is yet unknown, yet NASA scientists claim they are now one step closer to find out Sun-Earth twins. John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington said,

“The Kepler spacecraft has certainly turned out to be a rock star of science. The discovery of these rocky planets in the habitable zone brings us a bit closer to finding a place like home. It is only a matter of time before we know if the galaxy is home to a multitude of planets like Earth, or if we are a rarity.”

The star in Kepler-62 system is smaller and cooler than the sun. Kepler-62f is just 40 percent larger than Earth, making it the exoplanet closest to the size of our planet known in the habitable zone of another star. Kepler-62f is likely to have a rocky composition. Kepler-62e, orbits on the inner edge of the habitable zone and is roughly 60 percent larger than Earth.

Orbiting its star every 122 days, Kepler-62e was the first of these habitable zone planets identified. Kepler-62f, with an orbital period of 267 days, was later found by Eric Agol, associate professor of astronomy at the University of Washington and co-author of a paper on the discoveries published in the journal Science. The size of Kepler-62f is now measured, but its mass and composition are not. However, based on previous studies of rocky exoplanets similar in size, scientists are able to estimate its mass by association. William Borucki, Kepler science principal investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the Kepler-62 system paper in Science said,

“The detection and confirmation of planets is an enormously collaborative effort of talent and resources, and requires expertise from across the scientific community to produce these tremendous results. Kepler has brought a resurgence of astronomical discoveries and we are making excellent progress toward determining if planets like ours are the exception or the rule.”

The two habitable zone worlds orbiting Kepler-62 have three companions in orbits closer to their star, two larger than the size of Earth and one about the size of Mars. Kepler-62b, Kepler-62c and Kepler-62d, orbit every five, 12, and 18 days, respectively, making them very hot and inhospitable for life as we know it. The five planets of the Kepler-62 system orbit a star classified as a K2 dwarf, measuring just two-thirds the size of the sun and only one-fifth as bright. At seven billion years old, the star is somewhat older than the sun. It is about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra.

Kepler-69c is the third planet, 70 percent larger than the size of Earth. It orbits in the habitable zone of a star similar to our sun. Astronomers are uncertain about the composition of Kepler-69c, but its orbit of 242 days around a sun-like star resembles that of our neighboring planet Venus.

Kepler-69 system has another planet known as Kepler-69b. It is more than twice the size of Earth and whizzes around its star every 13 days. The Kepler-69 planets’ host star belongs to the same class as our sun, called G-type. It is 93 percent the size of the sun and 80 percent as luminous and is located approximately 2,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.  Thomas Barclay, Kepler scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute in Sonoma, Calif., and lead author of the Kepler-69 system discovery published in the Astrophysical Journal said,

“We only know of one star that hosts a planet with life, the sun. Finding a planet in the habitable zone around a star like our sun is a significant milestone toward finding truly Earth-like planets.”

Media briefing hosted by NASA:

The exoplanet transit method

Kepler mission uses the exoplanet transit method in its quest for Earth-like planets. When a planet candidate transits, or passes in front of the star from the spacecraft’s vantage point, a percentage of light from the star is blocked. The resulting dip in the brightness of the starlight reveals the transiting planet’s size relative to its star. Kepler has detected 2,740 candidates so far by using the transit method. With the help of various analysis techniques, ground telescopes and other space assets, 122 planets have been confirmed. Find more about it: measuring a distant planet’s transit  — The Exoplant Transit Method.

Hunting for habitable planets, the Kepler space telescope continuously measures the brightness of more than 150,000 stars. Ames research center is responsible for Kepler’s ground system development, mission operations, and science data analysis. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed Kepler mission development.

Boston marathon bombs suspect Captured.

Boston marathon bombs suspect Captured.

Col Timothy Alben of the Massachusetts State Police: "We're exhausted... but have a victory"

The teenage suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is in custody after being found hiding in a boat in a suburban homeowner's backyard.

Police said they exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, after cornering him in Watertown, near Boston.

He had escaped on foot early on Friday, apparently wounded, after a police shootout that claimed the life of his elder brother, an alleged accomplice.

Three people died and more than 170 were hurt in Monday's bombings.

At a Friday night press conference, US President Barack Obama promised to seek answers on what had motivated the bombers and whether they had help.

He spoke just after state police told journalists that the suspect was being treated at a Massachusetts hospital, bleeding and seriously injured with gunshot wounds to the neck and leg.

Analysis

We may know the names of the suspects in the Boston marathon attacks and also much about their lives, but the question of why they did it remains elusive. Recollections of friends and family, as well as the digital data trail people now leave on social media, means we can get a picture of a young brother who seemed to be a well-adjusted student.

The elder brother comes across less well-adjusted, not quite fitting into American life or making friends. Seven years older, some wonder if he drew his younger sibling into his own world in which he seemed to be exploring radical Islamist ideology.

But was this simply about two brothers, a tight-knit bond with no outside support? An organised conspiracy would worry Americans who hoped that era had passed, but in some ways the era of small self-starting groups is just as worrying since they can be much harder to spot.

The breakthrough came less than an hour after authorities lifted a city-wide order for residents to stay indoors, and reopened the transport system, as the trail appeared to have gone cold.

Authorities captured the suspect following a tip from a resident of Franklin Street, Watertown, who emerged from his home after the lockdown was lifted and noticed blood near the boat.

Upon opening the tarp covering the boat, the resident found a man covered in blood in the stern and called police.

Bomb-squad vans and ambulances surrounded the house, while helicopters buzzed overhead.

Officers tossed flash-bang grenades into the boat to disorient the fugitive.

Police said they exchanged gunfire with the suspect for about an hour before moving in and seizing him.

A crowd near the scene cheered as he was taken into custody.

The property was apparently not searched earlier on Friday as police went door-to-door in Watertown.

Boston Police Department tweeted: "CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."

Thousands of Swat team officers had earlier scoured the streets all day in a manhunt that virtually shut down the city.

Russian warning?

Massachusetts officials had closed all mass transit and warned nearly one million people in Boston and some of its suburbs not to leave their homes.

_67125023_67125022.jpg

President Obama: "There are still many unanswered questions"

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a college student, had fled on foot following a gun battle that left 200 spent rounds and a car chase to Watertown in which he and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, hurled explosives at police, authorities said.

The pair also shot and killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology policeman late on Thursday before severely wounding another officer, authorities said.

The elder brother died of bullet wounds and injuries from explosives strapped to his body, a hospital doctor said.

Their bloody confrontation ensued hours after the FBI released images of the marathon-bombing suspects.

Law enforcement officials and family members have identified the Tsarnaev brothers as ethnic Chechens who had been living in America for about a decade.

The FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 after a request from a foreign government, US law enforcements officials have confirmed. But agents closed the case after finding no cause for concern.

In an interview on Russian television, the mother of the two suspects said the FBI had been in contact with her son for several years.

It is not known which country made the request, but the BBC's Paul Adams in Washington says it is likely to have come from the Russians.

'Losers'

Our correspondent says now that the manhunt in Boston is over, the extent of the FBI's prior knowledge of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's activities is likely to be examined.

Who are the Tsarnaev brothers?

Tamerlan Tsarnaev (L), 26, and his brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19
  • Sons of Chechen refugees from the troubled Caucasus region of southern Russia
  • Family is thought to have moved to the US in 2001, from Russian republic of Dagestan
  • They lived in the Massachusetts town of Cambridge, home to Harvard University
  • Dzhokhar, 19, was awarded a scholarship to pursue further education; he wanted to become a brain surgeon, according to his father
  • Tamerlan, 26, was an amateur boxer who had reportedly taken time off college to train for a competition; he described himself as a "very religious" non-drinker and non-smoker

Monday's twin blasts killed Martin Richard, aged eight, Krystle Campbell, 29, and Lu Lingzi, 23, a postgraduate student from China.

Earlier on Friday, the father of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said his son was a second-year medical student in the US and was hoping to be a brain surgeon.

Anzor Tsarnaev told the BBC he believed the secret services had framed his sons.

"It was a terrorist attack carefully organised by secret services - I don't know which ones. My son used to go to a mosque, so they once paid us a visit to ask why he is doing that.

"Yes, there was such an episode. So they put all the blame on him and shot him. That's it."

But Ruslan Tsarni, an uncle of the suspects who lives in Maryland, said he was "ashamed" at his nephews' alleged role in the bombings.

Asked what the bombers' motives may have been, he replied: "Being losers, hating everyone around them."

Also on Friday, investigators removed a computer and other evidence from the New Jersey home of the Tsarnaev brothers' sister, police said.

Ailina Tsarnaeva, who lives in the town of West New York, is said to have told FBI agents she had had no contact with her brothers for some time.

BREAKING: Photo surfaces of The Craft mobile communications van at Boston marathon The Craft Communications Van 600

BREAKING: Photo surfaces of ‘The Craft’ mobile communications van at Boston marathon

Mike Adams

Natural News
April 19, 2013

A detailed, hi-res photo of more “The Craft” operatives and what appears to be their mobile communications van has just surfaced. “The Craft” is a group of private military operatives who have been revealed through a fast-growing number of photos published by Natural News and Info Wars.

The mainstream media is engaged in a total blackout and refuses to run any photos of “The Craft” operatives. This story is quickly becoming the biggest media cover-up in history.

Natural News was the first to identify the brand of the radiation detector being held in the hand of one “Craft” operatives. Now, we appear to be the first to run this photo of what looks to be an extremely high-end mobile communications van with seven more “Craft” operatives.

The van clearly has a foldable satellite dish as well as what is possibly a microwave communications dome. The vehicle is a Chevy Escalade that has been outfitted with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of roof racks and communications equipment.

Note: We can’t be 100% certain this vehicle belongs to The Craft team, but it fits their M.O. While all the other emergency vehicles on the scene are clearly marked, this vehicle is unmarked. The proximity of The Craft members to the van is also an indication that this vehicle may be a “rally point.”

Here’s the image:

We may have identified the nature of the dish on the top of the vehicle. It closely resembles Quickspot IP satellite systems.

April 19, 2013

One of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing has reportedly been killed by Police.

Middlesex District Attorney – Official Statement:

Police are investigating a fatal shooting of MIT campus police officer by two men who then committed an armed carjacking in Cambridge, Middlesex Acting District Attorney Michael Pelgro, Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas, and MIT Police Chief John DiFava announced this evening.

At approximately 10:20 p.m. April 18, police received reports of shots fired on the MIT campus. At 10:30 p.m., an MIT campus police officer was found shot in his vehicle in the area of Vassar and Main streets. According to authorities, the officer was found evidencing multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced deceased.

Authorities launched an immediate investigation into the circumstances of the shooting. The investigation determined that two males were involved in this shooting.

A short time later, police received reports of an armed carjacking by two males in the area of Third Street in Cambridge. The victim was carjacked at gunpoint by two males and was kept in the car with the suspects for approximately a half hour. The victim was released at a gas station on Memorial Drive in Cambridge. He was not injured.

Police immediately began a search for the vehicle and were in pursuit of the vehicle into Watertown. At that time, explosive devices were reportedly thrown from car by the suspects. The suspects and police also exchanged gunfire in the area of Dexter and Laurel streets. During this pursuit, an MBTA Police officer was seriously injured and transported to the hospital.

During the pursuit, one suspect was critically injured and transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

An extensive manhunt is ongoing in the Watertown area for the second suspect, who is believed to be armed and dangerous.

The case is being investigated by local, state and federal authorities working in cooperation. The Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad is assessing and removing any potentially explosive devices that may have been thrown on the street in Watertown by the suspects.

The investigation remains active and ongoing.

No further information is available at this time.

Gunfire, explosions – raw video:

Updated April 18 3:50AM ET

Fox News reports that the suspect in police custody was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

An FBI photo released at 2:00AM this morning shows the two suspects standing side-by-side. The man in the black cap is believed to be the one killed by police this morning.

The suspect wearing the white cap remains at large.

CONFIRMED: BOSTON BOMBER DEAD; Second Suspect Still At Large — RAW VIDEO: More Bombs Rock Mass.; Gunfight at MIT boston suspects photo2

Video of police apprehending an individual in Watertown. It is not clear whether this individual is one of the two suspects:

Original Report: April 18 – 2:45AM ET

In what the FBI’s public information officer calls an “active” and “fluid” situation, hundreds of police cruisers converged on a small neighborhood in Watertown, Massachusetts after multiple bombs were reportedly detonated.

Reports indicate that the bombings came shortly after a shooting involving a police officer at MIT’s campus in Cambridge. The officer, whose name has not yet been released, was killed in the exchange.

Witnesses have also reported “round after round” of gunshots and explosions going off in Watertown.

Both locations are within 10 miles of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.

The FBI reports that a suspect is in custody, but has not confirmed if the individual was also involved in the Boston bombing.

The Boston Globe reports that the individual in custody may be one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

7 News Boston has reported on their web site that their law enforcement sources say that the Watertown suspects are also the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.

At approximately 2:00 AM ET the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a new photo of the two suspects together minutes before the two marathon bombs left three people dead and scores severely injured.

Mixed reports from Fox News, CNN and local Boston news channels indicate that the suspect in the photo above wearing the white hat remains at large, suggesting that his accomplice may be the one currently in custody.

A CELESTIAL MYSTERY SOLVED :
The Secret to an Unknown Human Power
by GW Hardin
When American Kabuki said that he would post this mystery of a picture, that had shown up out of nowhere, on his blog and let the “crowd source” (his blog members) bring forth the answer, I had my doubts. But no longer.

soliton-geometry-revised.png
I will present three revelations that showed up around this picture:

What is this picture? And where did it come from?

Why the celestials want humanity to know about it’s secret.

What is the DNA tesseract? And why is it so important?

This isn’t the first time a picture has shown up out of nowhere on the computer of my longtime protege, Matthew Michaels. I consider Matt a young adept of the first order. The year I first met him, he would have been called an Indigo or one of the Super Psychics originally talked about in China. Unfortunately, the reason his mother beseeched me to visit him was because he was dying. His doctors could do nothing for him. Since then he has made me aware of worlds that few ever hear of, let alone visit. Not only has he been pursued by Black Ops, but also sought after by tribal Elders. That’s how impressive he can be. It’s also why I have kept him a secret all these years. His journey has not been an easy one. Too many times has he ended up in emergency rooms. And too many times I’ve had to show him how to pull himself away from the jaws of death. But it’s time to bring him out of hiding. He’s now a force to be reckoned with.

Matt has been fully initiated into the Pure Sioux as a tribal member because of the prophecies they saw fulfilled in him. In my latest book, A World Beyond Belief, I write about some of his story, using the pseudonym “Jake.”

Over the years I’ve known Matt, I’ve watched objects disappear into thin air as well as appear out of nowhere. For years, information has shown up from unknown sources on disappearing and reappearing thumb drives locked in safes, apparently for the purpose of bringing forth information that I have begun to present on one of my websites: www.soundsofwonder.com.

This latest mystery is connected to that information and articles I have written on that website. This latest mystery is also connected to a series of angel appearances (not channelings) I have written about in two other books around a man named Joseph Crane (www.gwhardin.com). So when this latest picture showed up on Matt’s computer out of nowhere, I knew there was a reason. And thanks to American Kabuki, I can reveal part of that information.


What Is This Picture? And Where Did it Come From?

The picture that American Kabuki posted is a 2-dimensional rendering of a 4-dimensional object. These 4D geometric constructs are finding important use more and more in mathematics, especially around simulation graphics where supercomputers have to churn out special-effects movies and globally interactive super-games. But more importantly, a whole new technology is emerging around the science of scalars. I will get into a little more later.

This mystery object is not a 4D buckyball. Nor is it a truncated icosahedron or a dodecahedron. In the mathematical world this object is called a hecatonicosachoron. Here is a 2D rendering of this object:

As a 4D operating graphic you can go to this YouTube video and see how it operates in 4D/3D space:

You get even a better perspective of how this complex configuration operates in 3D space at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120-cell#Perspective_projections and scroll down to the rotating 3D projection. It’s mind-boggling.

But what use are these 4D renderings? To fully appreciate the answer we will have to take a brief walk down the halls of quantum physics. What more and more scientists are beginning to find out is that there exist factors in life that show up out of nowhere and disappear into nowhere (on a much greater scale than what is happening with Matt). For instance, quantum physicists are being confronted by the realities of bio-photons, which they now realize show up in such quantities in the presence of human consciousness (in a single room) that they actually exceed the number of photons given off by the sun. The work of Nassim Haramein and his mathematical proofs are pointing to even greater paradoxes. But so what?

What most of this information is pointing to is the presence of tesseracts. These phenomena are defined as “a four-dimensional hypercube having sixteen corners.”

This geometry is actually a gateway across dimensions. In two of my books, I refer to angelic gateways (obviously used by the angelic realm), that were given to humanity in order to work with celestials. These angelic gateways are also tesseract geometry. To keep this simple, I’m going to say that I personally do not restrict tesseracts to hypercubes. I now know that tesseracts can be based on different polyhedra other than the cube. The picture posted by American Kabuki is a hexagonal/pentagonal based polyhedron that serves as the basic design for this dimensional gateway given to us once again by celestials, not unlike the angelic gateway (The Masters Return by Joseph Crane and GW Hardin).

hecatonicosachoron2.png
To illustrate that the picture posted by American Kabuki is a tesseract, I have drawn reference lines to show how it operates in similar fashion to a hypercube:

You will notice that like the hypercube there is an inner component (or shell) and an outer component which work in 3D rendering as noted above.

Note that the basic geometry is hexagonal and pentagonal. This 4D geometry, I have discovered is used by human DNA. It would take several pages to explain that, but what I will simply point out is that the geometry of DNA nucleotides is completely mimicked by this rotating geometry. Thus I call this particular pattern generating a “DNA tesseract.”

There is far more to this patterning than meets the eye. First, look what happens when you compare the geometry of DNA nucleotides to the revolving patterns of the DNA tesseract:

DNA-GEOMETRY-1.png
DNA-GEOMETRY-2.png
You see there is an exact match for all the patterns. But again, so what? That brings me to the discovery of the work of a German scientist who is being called the “new Einstein.” His work was brought to my attention also because of American Kabuki who ended up allowing Michael Sharpe, an IT brain, to come into my life. Sharpe introduced me to the work of Dr. Konstantin Meyl.

What Meyl has done is discover how DNA itself creates scalar waves ... a most controversial topic among the physics world. Scalars have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light without losing energy, which thusly allows them to cross dimensions. It was in Meyl’s book (DNA and Cell Resonance) that I came to realize that the hydrogen electrons surrounding the hexagonal and pentagonal shapes of the DNA literally spin not solely around the hydrogen atom but around the entire molecule that makes up the pentagons and hexagons. This spinning of the hydrogen electron cloud causes the creation of vortexes. And these vortexes are the generators of scalar waves throughout the human body. The human body is a de-facto massive collection of DNA tesseract gateways. See my article on DNA geometry at

This now gets us into the punch line of this article.


Why the Celestials Want Humanity to Know About It’s Secret


A little over a week ago there were two appearances by Archangel Gabriel, one to a young 9 year-old girl, the other to a tribal Elder of the Sioux. Both parties contacted Matthew Michaels to let him know what had happened, because he had worked closely with both these people. I have not met the Elder but I did assist Matt in working with the young girl, who two years ago began speaking in a strange language, which frightened her mother. I discovered that this young girl was in fact speaking ancient Latin, quoting a famous work of Socrates. The tribal Elder is considered a medicine woman and held in high regard by her tribe. Gabriel had left both of them with the same two messages:

The time of darkness for humanity has come to an end.

The angelic realm has bound itself to the realm of humans.

In the Joe Crane material, appearances of Archangel Michael included a statement repeated three times over a 12 year period:  “Our kind wishes to bind with your kind.”

In the last two years, I was involved in situations where it was found out that only recently have other star nations discovered that humanity is among the most SPIRITUALLY advanced species of the universe. And the reason why stems from information from a very high order of extradimensional beings called the Elohim, who revealed in this last year that secretly buried in human DNA is angelic DNA, at the heart of our spiritual advancement. Naturally, most people would yell, “No way!” Look what we’ve done to each other, and what we’ve done to our planet. If you will research the Internet you will find information released by government whistleblowers that will reveal that for millennia we have been dumbed down so as not to realize our own greatness. You will even find a version of the truth of this revelation in one of the books from the Nag Hammadi Library, called “The Apocryphon of John.” I could write a book about this.

So these two latest appearances by Gabriel are a formal announcement that humanity not only is one with the angelic realm, but also that humanity will no longer suffer from those who have ruled from the darkness.

Three articles of mine speak more as to how all this will happen:

What is the DNA Tesseract? And Why Is It So Important?


In Meyl’s interview (cited above on YouTube), he talks about how he has not only uncovered the secrets of Tesla hidden away under U.S. intelleigence classification, but he goes beyond Tesla in announcing another scalar component known as magnetic scalars. It is these magnetic scalars that are created by the DNA tesseract. In his lab, Meyl has shown the incredible healing capacity that magnetic scalars play in bringing the pattern of broken or unhealthy DNA back into a healthy state. He also talks about MDs now using his “kits” in their offices as a healing device for diseases that modern medicine seems incapable of healing. 

In the future I will reveal even more about how humans not only can learn about this great secret held within them, but how they can change reality with the DNA tesseract (those who have been to my lectures have seen me demonstrate this before an audience), how humanity has access to dimensions that make the idea of scarcity or “not enough energy” or the notion of continual pain in our world obsolete.

What Dr. Meyl has discovered is that human DNA can be the bedrock of telepathy, and scalar wave technology the source of an entirely new telecommunications system that can still work with cell phones but in a faster, cheaper, and far more environmentally safe way. Meyl has brought together the mystery of Tesla, the Black Hole/White Whole model of Nassim Haramein, and the mathematics of nature as found in Marko Rodin’s work. He has done this in such a way that humanity will soon find out that we possess within us a power we never dreamed possible—the Power of Wellness, the Power of Wholeness, and the Power of Oneness. And this power gives us the ability to collectively recreate Eden on Earth. And honestly, we don’t even have to wait.

I want to thank all the commenters on American Kabuki’s blog who pointed me in the right direction, allowing me to put together the bigger picture that the celestials now want us to be aware of. And more than that, do something with it. I especially want to thank American Kabuki for perpetrating a visit to the “crowd source.” He knows that collectively we are far more than the sum of our parts.


Last minute addendum from a private email:

Gary Hardin 9:12 PM (2 hours ago)

to me

Yesterday and today there was another episode of all the electronics going off at Matt's house. Even his car became inoperable. Yesterday his entire safe disappeared. Today it reappeared with a thumb drive in it that neither of us had ever seen, along with a silver ring.

On the thumb drive was the very object I last sent you showing the 4D/3D rotating Coxeter-120 cell animated graphic. I believe that was them telling us that we've done well with this. We've already done a few experiments with the DNA tesseract and a soliton laser with surprising results. We will continue to explore all this.

The beings who showed up and completely wiped out all the electronics in the process are what I call the Crystallines. This is a very high order of angels that rarely ever appear. They appear in a similar fashion as the rotating Coxeter, shapeshifting from one crystalline form to another. It's why I call them Crystallines. They don't stay around very long because they create what Matt calls phase-shifts, usually interfering with anything electronic.

We were talking on the phone when the electric company showed up to try and get the electricity on for the house. The technician said he had never seen anything like this. Hours later, the car started working again, as did the computer. This is the second time they've taken an entire safe and returned it. Sometimes I think they're showing off. :)

much love to you,
GW

Geoffrey West: Boston, A Potential False Flag?

Stephen: Cosmic Vision News anchor Geoffrey West has spent the wee hours of this morning gathering as much information as he could find that appears to show that the Boston Marathon incident is, in all probability, another tragic false flag. Is the speed with which such information now gets ‘out there’ – and the wider acceptance of such information – all part of our consciousness awakening? The messages from our Celestial and Galactic families have indicated that as the energies rise, the period of time between thought and manifestation would decrease.  As Geoffrey points out in this article, the time between an ‘event’ and its corresponding truth has been decreasing, resulting in events related to the remaining energies of the cabal seemingly now being ‘exposed’ almost instantly. 

Boston, A Potential False-Flag? Use HIGH Discernment With The Mainstream Media

By Geoffrey West, Cosmic Vision News – April 15, 2013

www.greenprintforlife.org

Just like in the Sandy Hook shootings, the crimes are being exposed much more quickly. It has taken over 12 years for North Americans to begin seeing the truth about 9/11. It took a few months for the truth to emerge last year about the fires and also the movie theatre shooting in Colorado. Sandy Hook was exposed in a matter of days. The explosions in Boston were exposed in a matter of hours. People now know where to look, and they are catching the lies.

There was a Facebook sympathy page created in Facebook two DAYS ago, but has since been pulled down. Another was created this morning, a full eight hours before the explosions were heard. (these may get removed soon) Sandy Hook also had Facebook tribute pages posted before the event happened.

Facebook page created two days before:

Facebook page created hours before:

There is a report that the Boston police department was going to detonate an explosive today, as part of a ‘drill’.  The police force was likely too preoccupied with that, and allowed something else to happen.  Although I am personally not a big fan of the fear-mongering style of news-reporting used by Alex Jones, his site has covered this particular angle to the story, and so I cite it here:

http://www.infowars.com/eyewitness-authorities-announced-drill-before-boston-explosions/

The London 7/7/2005 bombings also had the metropolitan police force doing ‘drills’ that day.

On 9/11, the planes that were usually ‘on call’ for defence that can be scrambled within minutes of an emergency and reach anywhere in North America, were called out on ‘drills’ the day of 9/11.

Back then, people didn’t know what to look for, and they simply allowed their reactions to prevent them from looking at unfolding events with a clear and level head. This is no longer the case.

The recent shootings in the U.S. have been ‘false flag’ events to scare people into wanting gun control legislation. This is a way for the government in the US to basically go against the article in the constitution that allows citizens the right to bear arms. The secret/shadow government…or the cabal that has hijacked most of the countries around the world, create events to scare people into surrendering their rights, under the illusion that they will be ‘protected’ by their government. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Today’s event, just like Sandy Hook, school shootings, and others have been planned events. This one however, shows signs of being very hastily planned, as though it was put together more at the last minute.CVN Background copy

It is my belief at this time, that this event was to cover up something else, and I believe it had something to do with the global financial system. All the stock markets around the world reported losses today, and gold, strangely enough, has just finished its second day of losses, its worst 2 day rout in over 30 years.

Historically, when the markets go down, gold will go up and vice versa.

I do not know exactly what is causing gold to go down, but I believe it has something to do banking ponzi schemes tied to illegal derivatives. At the moment, the European banking cartel is trying to extract blood from Cyprus, now that their bailout failed. It was a scam to force the Cypriot government into a position of having to sell its gold, which has physical value, as opposed to the bank loans which are money created out thin air. This is how ALL bank loans are. The money that is created is given out, and the bank risks absolutely nothing, but instead asks borrowers to put up items having physical value as collateral. This is illegal and criminally fraudulent and until now, people have not been speaking up.

It is believed that the introduction of a new global financial model that would have stripped the Fed Reserve cartel and others of their wealth, power and control was to be introduced to the world on 9/11 2001. The events of that day were significant enough to prevent that alleged announcement from being made. There have been some sources reporting lately that we are again approaching the introduction of a new financial model. Some have called it NESARA, which I will not go into at this time. The BRICS alliance: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, have aligned with numerous other countries, believed to be over 145 now, that have signed on to a new global financial model that will strip the corrupt banking cartel of its wealth, power and control. The challenge has been to find a way to introduce the new system, while dismantling the old system, so that it would not cause chaos and panic.

The International Monetary Fund ‘s (IMF) Managing Director, Christine Lagarde spoke last week at the Economic Club of New York. I covered this on my newscast. She spoke of needing to ‘reign in’ big banking, to create new regulations, and that the big banks are more dangerous than ever. She also spoke about the introduction of the Basel III accord: the accord that basically promotes gold and precious metals from a Tier 3 commodity to a Tier 1 commodity which is the same as money. The gold standard is in the process of being reintroduced to the world, to also help strip the banking cartels of their illegal derivatives schemes through debt-based banking. Surprise, surprise: the IMF spring meeting started today, so today’s event would have ‘conveniently’ caused a sufficient distraction to either cancel or possibly delay whatever policy discussions that would have been going on about the new global financial system, and any actions being taken against criminal bankers and institutions.

http://www.imf.org/external/meetings/schedule.aspx?meetingid=3

What most around the world do not know – because the media has been complicit in the cover up is that:

Iceland – the people there DID speak up. They would not accept the Euro cartel bailouts. They defaulted on their loans in 2008. Although they had two rough years, the people got control of their country back: they arrested the bankers; arrested their leader, called together a citizens group online and re-wrote their country’s constitution. Iceland is currently better positioned for growth than all countries in the European Union. The mainstream media is not reporting this however. They do not want the world to know that a country has ‘called out’ their frauds and successfully proven that they can survive outside of the illegal fractional reserve model of banking.

When these events happen…there is something else going on, that they do not want people to know about. Creating events such as these creates fear and successfully diverts attention from whatever else it is that is being covered up.

Perhaps we’ll find out soon enough.

The event is very unfortunate. People are being sacrificed to cover up other events. I gently advise against blindly accepting anything that the mainstream media has to say. They have not been doing their job for years. Their ‘ethic’ has been corrupted. I try to maintain hope however, that some journalists can be reached and pulled back from the dark side of ‘The Force’.

Some, or perhaps most of what I have shared may be very unsettling for many of you. Let me end on a positive note: What is happening now is happening for a reason. Humanity is in the process of reclaiming its freedom from a relatively small group of people that have held the planet in enslavement, in fear, in debt and have been destroying our planet for profit, greed, power and control. This is beginning to disappear.

As with all change, there are periods of adjustment. How easily the adjustment proceeds will depend upon how open-minded and open-hearted people are to change. We can continue living as slaves, or we can begin to learn about and recognize ‘the game’, so that we might choose not to fall victim to it any longer. The sooner the changes are introduced, the sooner the discomfort can end. All you have to do is choose to become more informed, and recognize the lies, frauds and crimes. Just knowing the truth will be empowering enough!

Share this (if you choose) with journalists you know and perhaps politicians. Those who are corrupt will already know that their ‘gig’ is up. The world is ‘on’ to them.

Something VERY GOOD is happening in human and planetary consciousness! It may just take a bit of time before it becomes clearly obvious to all.

Navy SEALs Spotted at Boston Marathon Wearing Suspicious Backpacks? chriskyle

Navy SEALs Spotted at Boston Marathon Wearing Suspicious Backpacks?

Prison Planet.com
April 17, 2013

Savvy Internet sleuths have found images taken from surveillance cameras of members of the crowd gathered at the Boston Marathon that appear to identify Navy SEALs.

For comparison, below are a few photos of late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. Note the skull logo on his baseball cap, his pants and his boots

Now look at the individuals spotted wearing backpacks, a similar cap, and similar pants (and boots) at the Boston Marathon:

A video on Youtube also appears to capture a member wearing similar garb walking around the marathon post-explosion with something that looks like a detonator, but in actuality could be aradiation detector.

The reason this is important is because the Boston Police Commissioner is on record stating that they had “no specific intelligence” that there was a drill, while University of Mobile coach and marathon participant Alastair Stevenson has publicly stated that there was announcements telling people to stay calm and not be alarmed because beefed-up security was part of a “training exercise.”

If police were aware of a perceived threat, wouldn’t it make more sense to be announcing an evacuation order rather than tell everyone to stay calm?

Photo: The Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet this is not a memory of past events, but only of a present state. You are so long accustomed to believe that memory holds only what is past, that it is hard for you to realize it is a skill that can remember now. The limitations on remembering the world imposes on it are as vast as those you let the world impose on you. There is no link of memory to the past. If you would have it there, then there it is. But only your desire made the link, and only you have held it to a part of time where guilt appears to linger still. The Holy Spirit's use of memory is quite apart from time. He does not seek to use it as a means to keep the past, but rather as a way to let it go. Memory holds the message it receives, and does what it is given it to do. It does not write the message, nor appoint what it is for. Like to the body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate, and gives you pictures of injustices and hurts that you were saving, this is what you asked its message be and that it is. Committed to its vaults, the history of all the body's past is hidden there. All of the strange associations made to keep the past alive, the present dead, are stored within it, waiting your command that they be brought to you, and lived again. And thus do their effects appear to be increased by time, which took away their cause. Yet time is but another phase of what does nothing. It works hand in hand with all the other attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you make strange use of it, as if the past had caused the present, which is but a consequence in which no change can be made possible because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause that will endure, or else it will not last. No change can be made in the present if its cause is past. Only the past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the past against the now. Remember nothing that you taught yourself, for you were badly taught.

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information

Ironic isn’t it? A record number of people on food stamps yet new highs for stock indices. Below is an interesting question posed by Michael Snyder. The answer is very important to your future.

“If the economy is getting better, then why does poverty in America continue to grow so rapidly? Yes, the stock market has been hitting all-time highs recently, but also the number of Americans living in poverty has now reached a level not seen since the 1960s. Yes, corporate profits are at levels never seen before, but so is the number of Americans on food stamps. Yes, housing prices have started to rebound a little bit (especially in wealthy areas), but there are also more than a million public school students in America that are homeless...should we measure our economic progress by the false stock market bubble that has been inflated by Ben Bernanke’s reckless money printing, or should we measure our economic progress by how the poor and the middle class are doing?”  Michael Snyder, infowars.com

Consider:

  • U.S. labor force participation is now down to where it was in 1979 – 63.3 percent.
  • Adjusted for inflation household incomes are now back to levels last seen in the 1990s - average per capita wage is around $26,000, household median income is at $50,000.
  • Adjusted for inflation markets are lower than they were in 2000.
  • U.S. national debt is $16+ trillion.
  • The banking system backs $7.4 trillion in insured deposits with $32 billion, that’s just .43 percent – when the U.S. was on the gold standard your dollar was backed 40% with gold. In 1987 there were over 13,000 banks, today there are 6,000. There are 50 banks with assets totaling over $20 billion.
  • Student debt totals over $1 trillion. Medical care is the second fastest inflating sector after first place college tuition. Since 1985, college tuition has soared nearly 600 percent and medical care is fast approaching 400 percent. Theoverall Consumers Price Index (CPI) is at 200 percent.
  • The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet is plus $3.2 trillion and the Fed is continuing to purchase assets at a rate of $85 billion a month.
  • Consumer sentiment is at crisis levels last seen in 2008. In August 2012, in A Pew Research survey of middle-class Americans done in August 2012, reported 42 percent of those surveyed said they were worse off than they were in 2008. 

A Rasmussen survey showed that only 39 percent believed the U.S. economy would be stronger in five years - the first time that figure has ever dipped below 40 percent. 

The John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University’s survey showed that more than half of those surveyed believe the U.S. economy will not fully recover for another six years, and nearly one-third said the U.S. economy will never fully recover.

  • Estimates put a return to “normal” employment deep into 2019 – and that’s a best case recovery with no hiccups.
  • The largest city bankruptcy in US history was just announced for Stockton, California - population 300,000.
  • People aren’t buying cars because they can afford them – U.S. cars, on average, are almost 11 years old, that’s the oldest the fleets been since record keeping began. When cars get old they breakdown, costly repairs happen all too often. Unfortunately for a consumer driven economy already swirling around the bowl every dollar spent on a car purchase is one not being replaced for purchases elsewhere. 
  • In the final quarter of 2012, the US economy expanded at an annual rate of 0.4 percent. The 0.4 percent growth rate for the gross domestic product (GDP) was the weakest quarterly performance in almost two years.
  • For all of 2012, the economy grew 2.2 percent, that’s after a 1.8 percent increase in 2011 and a 2.4 percent advance in 2010. Since the recession ended in the summer of 2009 the economy has been expanding at sub-par rates.
  • The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that the combination of tax increases and spending cuts (the much talked about fiscal cliff) could trim economic growth this year by 1.5 percentage points leaving just 1.5 percentage points for growth in 2013.
  • The just released (April 10th) Presidential budget calls for $580 billion in new taxes, $400 billion in health savings plus an additional $200 billion in savings from farm subsidy reductions and reforms to Federal retirement plans.

SNAP

Food stamp participation increased from about 17.2 million in fiscal year 2000 to 26 million people in July 2006. By August 2008, participation had reached an all-time (non-disaster) high of 29 million people per month.

Today roughly 15 percent (47.3 million) of Americans are on food stamps - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). 

Half of current SNAP recipients are children, and half of these ten million children live in extreme poverty, meaning family income is less than half the official poverty level.

In the 1970s, about one out of every 50 Americans was on food stamps. One in six Americans receives food stamps today. 

Last year’s average monthly benefit was $133 per person – Republican’s are seeking $16 billion worth of cuts to the SNAP program over 10 years.

Three out of four households receiving SNAP benefits include at least one person who is working.

The ranks of America's poor have climbed to 50 million.

Plume of smoke from the blast at West, Texas. 17 April 2013

The Texas fertiliser plant blast leaves scores injured

18 April 2013 Last updated at 05:20 GMT

Scores of people are reported injured and others are trapped in burning buildings after a huge explosion at a fertiliser plant near Waco in the US state of Texas.

Firefighters, ambulances and six helicopters have been mobilised to deal with the situation.

Several buildings are still on fire, after the blast at the West Fertilizer plant about 19:50 (00:50 GMT).

An official confirmed there were deaths, but could not give a figure.

“Start Quote

It was like being in a tornado. Stuff was flying everywhere. It blew out my windshield. It was like the whole earth shook.”

Debby Marak, witness

Dean Wilson, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told a news conference that they were still conducting house to house searches.

He said the fire was still smouldering and that no firefighters were tackling it as there was the risk of further explosions.

Half the town had been evacuated, he added.

The Waco Tribune-Herald reported that firefighters had been trying to put out a fire at the plant when the explosion happened, and that some were among those injured.

The blast happened in West, a town of about 2,700 people some 20 miles (32km) north of Waco.

map of West, Texas

TV images showed streams of emergency vehicles descending on the site and ambulance crews using a nearby sports field as an emergency treatment area.

Glenn A Robinson, chief executive of Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco, told CNN that his hospital had received 66 injured people including 38 who were seriously hurt.

He said the hospital was seeing "everything from orthopaedic injuries to patients that are experiencing serious blood loss".

McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said: "It's a lot of devastation. I've never seen anything like this. It looks like a war zone with all the debris."

Eyewitness William Snider "It is like a war zone"

Unconfirmed reports said a nursing home had collapsed in the explosion and some people were believed trapped inside.

Witness Debby Marak told the Associated Press news agency that she had seen smoke coming from the area near the plant and had driven over to see what was happening.

She said that when she arrived, two boys ran toward her screaming that the authorities had told them to leave because the fertiliser plant was going to explode.

She said she drove a short distance before the blast happened.

"It was like being in a tornado," she said. "Stuff was flying everywhere. It blew out my windshield. It was like the whole earth shook."

Another resident told KWTX-TV that she heard several explosions from 13 miles (20km) away.

"It sounded like three bombs going off very close to us,'' said Lydia Zimmerman.

The air in town was still covered in acrid smoke more than two hours after the explosion.

The area around the site was littered with shards of wood, bricks and glass.

Texas Governor Rick Perry said in a statement: "We are monitoring developments and gathering information as details continue to emerge about this incident.

"We have also mobilised state resources to help local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of West, and the first responders on the scene."

Gold Slam is a Massive Wealth Transfer from Our Pockets to the Banks
Published : April 17th, 2013

 

 

 

I am very disappointed by, but not surprised at, the latest transfer of weath to the bankers from everyone else. The most recent gold bear raid has vastly enriched the bullion bankers, once again, at the expense of everyone trying to protect their wealth from global central bank money printing. 

The central plank of Bernanke's magic recovery plan has been to get everybody back borrowing, spending, and "investing" in stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. But not equally so - he has been instrumental in distorting the landscape towards risk assets and away from safe harbors.

 

That's why a 2- year loan to the US government will only net you 0.22%, a rate that is far below even the official rate of inflation. In other words, loan the US government $10,000,000 and you will receive just $22,000 per year for your efforts and lose wealth in the process because inflation reduced the value of your $10,000,000 by $130,000 per year. After the two years is up, you are up $44k but out $260k for net loss of $216,000.

 

That wealth, or purchasing power, did not just vanish: it was taken by the process of inflation and transferred to someone else. But to whom did it go? There's no easy answer for that, but the basic answer is that it went to those closest to the printing press. It went to the government itself which spent your $10,000,000 loan the instant you made it, and it went to the financiers that play the leveraged game of money who happen to be closest to the Fed's printing press.

 

This explains, almost completely, why the gap between the rich and everyone else is widening so rapidly, and why financiers now populate the top of every Forbes 400 list. There is no mystery, just a process of wealth transfer of magnificent and historic proportions; one that has been repeated dozens of times throughout history.

 


This Gold Slam Was By and For the Bullion Banks

 

A while back I noted to Adam that the gold slams that were first detected back in January were among the weakest I'd ever seen. Back then I was seeing the usual pattern of late night, thin-market futures dumping which I had seen before in 2008 and 2011, two other periods when precious metals were slammed hard.

 

The process is simple enough to understand; if you want to move the price down for any asset, your best results will happen in a thin market when there's not a lot of participation so whatever volume you supply has a chance of wiping out whatever bids are sitting on the books. It is in those dark hours that the market makers just dump, preferably as fast as possible.

 

This is exactly what I saw repeatedly leading up to Friday's epic dump-fest. The mainstream media (MSM), for its part, fully supports these practices by failing to even note them, and the CFTC has never once commented on the practice, and we all know that central banks support a well contained precious metals (PM) price because they are actively trying to build confidence in their fiat money, and rising PM prices serve to reduce confidence.

 

Here's a perfect example of the MSM in action, courtesy of the Financial Times:

 

Gold tumbles to two-year low

 

"There is no other way to put gold's recent sell-off: nasty," said Joni Teves, precious metals strategist at UBS in London, adding that gold would have to work to "rebuild trust" among investors.

 

Tom Kendall, precious metals analyst at Credit Suisse said "Once again gold investors are being reminded that the metal is not a very effective hedge against broad-based risk-off moves in the commodity markets."

 

There are two things to note in these snippets. The first is that the main ideas being promoted about gold are that it is no longer to be trusted, and that somehow the recent move is a result of "risk off" decisions meaning, conversely, that there is increased trust in the larger financial markets that 'investors' are rotating towards. Note that these ideas are exactly the sort of messages that central bankers quite desperately want to have conveyed.

 

The second observation is even more interesting; namely that the only people quoted work directly for the largest bullion banks in the world. These are the very same outfits that stood to gain enormously if precious metals dropped in price. Of coursethey are thrilled with the recent sell off. They made billions.

 

In February Credit Suisse 'predicted' the gold market had peaked, SocGen said the end of the gold era was upon us, and recently Goldman Sachs told everyone to short the metal.

 

While that's somewhat interesting, you should first know that the largest bullion banks had amassed huge short positions in precious metals by January.

 The CFTC rather coyly refers to the bullion banks as simply 'large traders' but everyone knows that these are the bullion banks. What we are seeing in that chart is that out of a range of commodities the precious metals were the most heavily shorted, by far.

 

So the timeline here is easy to follow - the bullion banks:

 

  1. Amass a huge short position early in the game
  2.  
  3. Begin telling everyone to go short (wink, wink) to get things moving along in the right direction by sowing doubt in the minds of the longs
  4.  
  5. Begin testing the late night markets for depth by initiating mini raids (that also serve to let experienced traders know that there's an elephant or two in the room)
  6.  
  7. Wait for the right moment and then open the floodgates to dump such an overwhelming amount of paper gold and silver into the market that lower prices are the only possible result.
  8.  
  9. Close their positions for massive gains and then act as if they had made a reallyprecient market call
  10.  
  11. Await their big bonus checks and wash, rinse, repeat at a later date
  12.  

While I am almost 100% certain that any decent investigation by the CFTC would reveal that market manipulating 'dumping' was happening, I am equally certain that no such investigation will occur. That's because the point of such a maneuver by the bullion banks is designed to transfer as much wealth from 'out there' and towards the center and the CFTC is there to protect the center's 'right' to do exactly that.

 

This all began on Friday April 12th, and one of the better summaries is provided by Ross Norman of Sharps Pixley, a London Bullion brokerage:

 

The gold futures markets opened in New York on Friday 12th April to a monumental 3.4 million ounces (100 tonnes) of gold selling of the June futures contract (see below) in what proved to be only an opening shot. The selling took gold to the technically very important level of $1540 which was not only the low of 2012, it was also seen by many as the level which confirmed the ongoing bull run which dates back to 2000. In many traders minds it stood as a formidable support level... the line in the sand.

 

Two hours later the initial selling, rumored to have been routed through Merrill Lynch's floor team, by a rather more significant blast when the floor was hit by a further 10 million ounces of selling (300 tonnes) over the following 30 minutes of trading. This was clearly not a case of disappointed longs leaving the market - it had the hallmarks of a concerted 'short sale', which by driving prices sharply lower in a display of 'shock & awe' - would seek to gain further momentum by prompting others to also sell as their positions as they hit their maximum acceptable losses or so-called 'stopped-out' in market parlance - probably hidden the unimpeachable (?) $1540 level.

 

The selling was timed for optimal impact with New York at its most liquid, while key overseas gold markets including London were open and able feel the impact. The estimated 400 tonne of gold futures selling in total equates to 15% of annual gold mine production - too much for the market to readily absorb, especially with sentiment weak following gold's non performance in the wake of Japanese QE, a nuclear threat from North Korea and weakening US economic data. The assault to the short side was essentially saying "you are long... and wrong".

Source - originally found at ZH)

 

The areas circled represent the largest 'dumps' of paper gold contracts that I have ever seen. To reiterate Ross's comments, there is no possible way to explain those except as a concerted effort to drive down the price.

 

To put this in context, if instead of gold this were corn we were talking about, 128,000,000 tonnes of corn would have been sold during a similar 3 hour window, as that amount represents 15% of the world's yearly harvest. And what would have happened to the price? It would have been driven sharply lower, of course. That's the point, such dumping is designed to accomplish lower prices, period, and that's the very definition of market manipulation.

 

For a closer-up look at this process, let's turn to Sunday night and with a resolution of about 1 second (the chart above is with 5 minute 'windows' or candles as they are called). Here I want you to see that whomever is trading in the thin overnight market and is responsible for setting the prices is not humans. Humans trade small numbers of contracts and in consistently random amounts.

 Here's an example:

Note that the contracts number in the single digits to tens, are randomly distributed, and that the scale on the right tops out at 80, although no single second of trades breaks 20.

 Now here are a few patterns that routinely erupted throughout the drops during Sunday night (yes, I was up very late watching it all)These are just a few of the dozens of examples I captured over a single hour of trading before I lost interest in capturing any more.

 

As I was watching this and discussing it with Adam in real time, I knew that I was watching the sort of HFT/computer trading robots that we've discussed here so much in the past. They are perfectly designed to chew through bid structures and that's what you see above. They are 'digesting' all the orders that were still on the books for gold, to remove them so that lower and lower stops could be run.

 

Anybody that had orders up against these machines, perhaps with stops in place, or perhaps even asleep because this all happened in the hours around midnight EST, lost and lost big.

 

There is really no chance to stand again players this large with a determination to drive prices lower. At the very least, I take the above evidence of computer assisted declines of this magnitude to be a sign that our "markets" are completely broken and quite vulnerable to a crash. That the authorities did not step in to halt these markets during such a volatile decline, when they have repeatedly stepped into other markets and individual equity shares on lesser declines, tells me much about the level of official support for such a decline.

 

It also tells me that things are speeding up and the next decline in the equity or bond markets may happen a lot faster than anybody is expecting.

 Unintended Consequences

 

If the intended consequences of this move were to enrich the bullion banks and to chase investors away from gold and other commodities and into stocks, what are theunintended consequences going to be?

 

While I cannot dispute that the bullion banks made out like bandits, I also wonder if perhaps instead of signaling that the dollar is safer than gold, that the banks did not unintentionally send the larger signal that deflation is gaining the upper hand?

 

With deflation, everything falls apart. It is the most feared thing to the powers that be and for good reason. Without inflation, and at least nominal GDP growth, if notreal growth, then all of the various rescues and steadily growing piles of public debt will slump towards outright failure, and possibly collapse. The unintended consequence of dropping gold so powerfully is to signal that deflation is winning the day.

 

If this view is correct, then the current sell off in gold, as well as in other commodities (detailed in part II), will simply be the trigger for a loss of both confidence andliquidity in the system and that will not bode well for the larger economy or equities.

 

In Part II: Protecting Your Wealth From Deflation we explore the growing signs that the money printing efforts of the central planners are seeing diminishing returns and are failing in their intended effect to kick-start global economic growth higher. Deflationary forces appear poised to take the upper hand here, sending asset p riceslower -- potentially much lower -- across the board.

 

If deflation indeed manages to break out from under the central banks efforts to contain it, even if only for a short period, how bad will the ensuing wave of price instability be? How can one position for it? How extreme will the measures the central banks take in response be? And what impact will that have on asset prices, the dollar and precious metals?

 

We are entering a new chapter in the unfolding of our economic emergency, one in which the risks to capital are greater than ever. And the rules are increasingly being re-written to the disadvantage of us individuals.

 

The one unfair advantage we have is that history is very clear on how these periods of economic malfeasance end. Let's exploit that as best we're able.

The Long Wave Versus the Printing Press: Another 2008?
Published : April 17th, 2013

Marc Faber of the Gloom Boom Doom Report was interviewed by Bloomberg on Friday, and of course topic number one was the brutal takedown of gold. Not all that surprisingly, he likes the resulting buying opportunity and expects "a major low in gold within the next two weeks."

More interesting from a theoretical/historical point of view was his segue from gold to the state of the global economy:

"Today we have commodities breaking down including gold and we have bonds rallying very strongly. If you just stand aside and just look at these two events they would suggest that there are strongly deflationary pressures in the system."

The following chart illustrates Faber's point. Gold is the downward-trending blue line and long-term Treasury bonds are the upward-trending green line; bonds up, gold down is clearly a deflationary picture:

Gold versus T-Bonds

But how, with the US, Europe and Japan running massive fiscal deficits and buying up every piece of debt in sight, could the global financial system be contracting instead of ratcheting towards an inflationary crack-up boom?

Because even with all the new currency creation, the amount of bad debt that was incurred over the past 30 years is still immense. The eurozone, despite the kind of debt monetization in which the European Central Bank (the Bundesbank's successor!) was never supposed to engage, is falling apart. Any of five or six zone countries could implode on any given day, potentially unraveling the whole system. European businesses and consumers are understandably reluctant to borrow and spend. And since Europe is a major market for everyone, a slowdown there equals a slowdown everywhere. (Even mighty Singapore, offshore money haven to the world, is contracting.) The US, last year's debt monetization champ, is flirting with austerity via sequesters and "grand deficit bargain" negotiations. Unfunded liabilities continue to soar across the developed world. Toss in a quadrillion dollars notional value of derivatives that no one understands or can even locate, and the debit side of the ledger still dwarfs the various QE programs.

In other words, today's level of debt monetization is apparently not big enough, and now the system is rolling over. The Long Wave is winning after all.

[A little background: This series is based on the observation that all the major Long Wave economic theories (loosely defined to include KondratieffElliott, and Fourth Turning), which view multi-decade emotional/psychological/cultural cycles as the driving force in national economies, have concluded that the expansion that began during WW II has ended, and that we should now be deep in a 1930's style, capital "D" depression. Below is an idealized picture of the Kondratieff wave, which puts the onset of "winter" in 2000. That we're not in a depression today is due to the fact that the world's governments are, for the first time in history, armed with unlimited fiat currency printing presses and are using them to dump huge amounts of liquidity into the banking system. This is buying time, at the cost of ever-increasing debt.]



Chart courtesy of http://longwavegroup.com/

The one data point that doesn't fit with a replay of the 2008 debt panic is the stock market which (along with an incipient US housing recovery) is the main inflationary indicator still standing. Stocks don't normally like deflation. As Faber puts it, "I wouldn't buy stocks because the stock market would be hit by disappointing profits."

S&P 500

So is it 2008 all over again? A sharp break in stocks coinciding with multiple fiscal crises (Slovenia and Portugal look primed, Italy and Japan could go anytime) would revive talk of a deflationary crash. Bad for precious metals in the short run (2008 was maybe the worst-ever year for mining stocks) but great long-term because the inevitable response of governments around the world will be to emulate Japan: decree 2% inflation and create as much new currency as it takes to get there. If the Fed's $3 trillion balance sheet didn't do it, then we'll try $10 trillion. If buying mortgage backed bonds doesn't revive those animal spirits, then junk bonds and stocks are next.

If the Long Wave is indeed winning, we're about to discover the true meaning of an "unlimited" printing press.

How the Gold Market was Crashed
Published : April 16th, 2013
 
 

 

There's been a recent huge draw down of physical gold at the New York COMEX and at the JP Morgan Chase depository. Look at the physical market draw down on the charts below. It has taken a drastic plunge.

 

HOUSTON -- we have a problem.

 Physical inventory drawdown at JPM Chart by Nick Laird of www.sharelynx.com

 Physical Drawdown at COMEX Chart by Nick Laird of www.sharelynx.com

 You can imagine the dilemma this is causing for the market interests behind these inventories. If the inventory runs out and one cannot meet deliveries then it has to be bought on the open market. Not only that but it could cause a run up in prices that would hurt the shorts in the market.

 So what to do?

 The only way out of this dilemma for the market controllers would be to devise a plan that would collapse the market and trip up all the stops at the correction lows in gold of 1525 thereby setting off the stop loss orders under this important market low. And what if the plan included a way to stop the physical market from purchasing gold under 1525 while that correction was underway? That would be brilliant.

 

And how can that happen?

 

They have to hatch a plan and carefully orchestrate it in a series of events that takes the gold market by completely by surprise and force players out of their long positions.

 

Read on for today's lesson in market manipulation and allow me to relay my speculation about what transpired last week.

 

A successful ambush usually involves surprise. And the surprise requires a carefully orchestrated setup. So now let's get a look at how the crash was prepared.

 

The FOMC minutes from the last meeting were due for release during last week. But a funny thing happened. They got released EARLIER than expected. It was all a big mistake and the FED let the SEC and the CFTC know right away that the error had occurred. And lo and behold, despite the FED's transparency and newly crafted reputation for delivering timely and accurate reports, there happened to be some language we didn't get updated on until the FOMC minutes were released. The notes say that several members have been discussing cutting back on the stimulus. That was strike one. It got the gold market thinking that stimulus cuts might be coming.

 

Strike one called by the umpire.

 Surprise number two appears.

 A bombshell was released from news sources. It was reported that Cyprus would have to sell 400 million Euro's of gold as part of the bailout package of raising money for their failed banking system. Gold prices came down to 1550 on the news and the day passed by. Even though Cyprus bankers tell us the next day that they didn't discuss selling any gold, market jitters remained with Friday just around the corner.

 This was strike two.

 Now we need a strike three and you're out.

 Gold is a nervous market to begin with as a lot of people have already lost a lot of money in the last six months. With Gold at 1550, all that is needed for the market to drop is to get one more push where all the stops are. This price level was just below the 2 year low of 1525.

 

With the setup in place the final pitch was ready to be delivered.

 

Selling began in the Friday sessions overseas. By time we got to the New York COMEX gold open, price was down to 1542. Now all the players were on the scene, in the game and ready with volume and liquidity to create the final blow to the gold market.

 

Then the attack began. Wave after wave of selling pummeled gold until it got to 1525. Then the break down of price below the two year low and all the stops that have been accumulating there start getting executed. Selling then accelerates as it begins to feed on itself.

 

The physical market for gold sees this massive stop loss explosion as a gift and gets ready to make their move to buy up the gold on the cheap.

 

Now comes the part that is pure genius or a total coincidental thing that just so happens to be a gift to those who are short the market and those who would be responsible to deliver gold should the inventory deplete.

 

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LONDON PHYSICAL PLATFORM THAT BUYS AND SELLS PHYSICAL GOLD GETS LOCKED UP. THE SYSTEM FREEZES.

 The screens all freeze.

 What does that mean?

 No one can get to the physical market to buy at these low prices but at the same time, they can't sell or protect their positions either. The system is frozen. Yes, just like at Bit-coin. The system locks up. And of course the results are going to be the same, just on a lower percentage level.

 

What can the physical holders do?

 Meanwhile the futures market continues to drop.

 So what happens? The physical market holders begin to panic. How can they protect themselves as they can't sell either?

 What would you do if you were in that situation?

 There is only one solution, especially during a panic. Short and ask questions later.

 

Therefore it is my speculation that based on 350,000 contracts sold on Friday and the massive drop in price; some of those contracts were a result of the physical market having no choice but to enter into the futures markets to hedge their physical position holdings by selling contracts or shorting the market.

 

Their choice was either this solution, or wait until Monday and be subject to potentially heavy losses should margin calls go out over the weekend. With no time to think and survival instinct kicking in, the physical holders most likely did what they could to protect themselves. They went in and shorted the futures market.

 

At this point the market goes into a free fall as the physical market can't buy at these low prices because the computer system is down; they can only sell futures to hedge their long physical holdings and so they do what they have to and begin selling futures.

 

Now it gets worse. As the price drops even more, underfunded players are getting wiped out and now they begin to liquidate. The market goes into a total collapse as all the stops below 1500 get tripped up and the market tanks to 1490.

 

The market finally closes in New York and returns to the 1500 area.

 

But it's not over. There's another situation going on. The weekend is arriving and players begin wondering about margin calls. How are holders going to get money to their brokers over the weekend for the Monday trade session?

 

But there is not enough liquidity as the COMEX has closed and only the aftermarket GLOBEX is there to execute trades.

 

Without a doubt, the shorts know exactly what is about to transpire.

 

As the market players begin to work this out in their mind there is only one thing left to do. Try and exit and get out in the Globex market. So the selling begins again. The market hits below 1500 and then 1490 get broken. The market sells as much as it can up until the very last minute of trade at 5PM New York time. Even then it's not over. For some reason the volume and the price keeps moving. Was there special consideration going on for those connected who wanted out? I don't know. But at 5:07 PM Eastern standard time the market closes at 352,248 contracts and a price of 1476.10 down a whopping 5.67% -88.80 dollars.

 

And this should not surprise you -

 

The banks and brokers are open all weekend and as long as it takes to go through all the accounts and issue all the MARGIN calls.

 

If they get the margin calls out by Saturday, the customers have 24 hours to get more money to their brokers. If the money is not received by Sunday night or Monday morning, the positions will have to be liquidated, just when the market is at its lowest liquidity and the longs have had all weekend to think about it and the media has had time to tell everyone that the bull market in gold is over.

 

I hope you understand the picture of how the control boyz forced a major sell off. I speculate the panic over low gold inventory had someone hatch a plan to save their accounts and a lot that was at stake for them.

 

The plot began with leaked information with explosive potential changes in USA policy, and continued with published information that Europe/Cyprus would have to sell 400 million Euro's of physical gold. Finally, once the sell-off began the physical gold market platform in London locks up and no one has buy or sell access in the physical spot market.

 

Did the control boys lock down the physical market platform or was it pure coincidence? Either way they have total plausible deniability. HOW?

 

The computer system went down. It couldn't handle the traffic and it shut down or a glitch happened in the server. It can be any one of many reasons.

 

This exact same thing happened during the last take down of gold in late December 2011.

 

VOILA. The perfect excuse and the perfect scenario.

 

The physical markets couldn't buy at those low prices.

 

Let me repeat that. The physical markets couldn't buy. They could only sell futures to hedge their physical gold positions.

 

Of course this will all be reported on the news and in the financials right?

 Wrong.

 None of it will be reported as none of it was reported on Dec 29th, 2011 when the control boyz did the same thing and locked out the computer and left the physical market holding the bag. Not one word hit the papers.

 

Most people are not even aware that the physical market is run by computers. They have never considered or thought about how the physical market works and executes. Guess what folks? It works the same way as Futures via computers and programs.

 

How do you think it works? Did you think that people show up with all their gold at an auction house and buying and bidding goes on with a mediator who can speak two hundred words a minute and gold is auctioned off like rugs or art?

 

No it runs off a computer system.

 

How do I know all of this happened on Friday?

 

Because I was in direct contact with a big physical dealer out of the mid-east as it was happening. They took the time to explain the physical market to me - how the physical dealers get SHUT out of the game --- as happened before during the last panic (and physical shortage) in Dec of 2011.

 

Here is the screen shot of the actual physical market in action from January 4th 2012 that the physical trader sent me.

 

There's a term for this manipulative tactic in the trading world. It's called "Beat the Beehive." You smash the nest and then watch the total confusion feed on itself. By the next day all the bees are gone and all that's left is a smashed up beehive.

 

There has been a lot of speculation on the markets and manipulation that is going on. What I've offered in this report using the fact that gold crashed on Friday is a scenario on how it could have been orchestrated. I leave it to the reader to pass judgment on the potential.

 

At 8:33 AM Friday morning with gold just beginning to trade, GoldTrends listed a potential for $1490 on twitter if $1525 was taken out. Here is the chart of the COMEX session. Note the low. That blue channel line was what we based our projection potential on. The rest as they say is history.

What Next?

 I will be assessing the damage over the weekend.

 If there really is a shortage then there will be clues that should show up that should show up in the physical markets. We will be on the watch for them if they develop. If we see these clues we will advise subscribers as they develop. The last system lock out was on December 29, 2011. The clues showed up then and a 270 dollar rally took place from 1525 to 1795 by February 29th. Interestingly on Feb 29th, gold fell 100 dollars an ounce on a Bernanke announcement that the Fed was considering slowing down on QE.

 

Let me say this. IF the Feds were to slow down on QE the entire system would collapse in a major deflationary spiral. In a speech two months ago at a college Mr. Bernanke admitted that the FED always tries to "talk" control or what they want to see happen. When that doesn't work they expand to other more important methods of policy.

 

There are only two things that can bring gold down; a manipulated event like we just saw or a liquidity squeeze like we saw in 2008 where an immediate need for cash forced the liquidation of all assets.

 Can it happen again?

 Yes, but this time it would be on a global scale and much more powerful than the Lehman crisis of 2008. While many think a sovereign default would create an inflationary spiral, it's the opposite that could happen. A default would result in liquidation and 99 cents out of every dollar in the banking system has been lent out. The need for cold hard cash would be enormous and the only way to get it to avoid leverage margin calls would be to sell assets at a low enough price to attract immediate cash. That is what happened in 2008. With one penny in banks and 99 cents of debt a spiral the other way could develop.

 

But you say the FEDS could print the money. Would they have time?

 

Once a deflationary collapse takes place, then a HYPER INFLATIONARY event can take place. But this is all for another report.

 

Stay tuned as it's probably going to get real interesting.

 

May you all prosper,

 

Bill Downey

Eyewitness: Authorities Announced Drill Before Boston Explosions 150413drill

Eyewitness: Authorities Announced “Drill” Before Boston Explosions

UM coach “thought it was odd” bomb sniffing dogs were at start and finish lines

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com 
April 15, 2013

An eyewitness to the two explosions at the Boston Marathon today said that a “drill” was repeatedly announced before the bombs exploded and that he “thought it was odd” bomb sniffing dogs were in place before the blast.

Image: Twitter

University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15 News, “They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.”

The news station also reports that Stevenson “thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.”

Stevenson then describes hearing the explosions as he ran away from the scene, having just completed the marathon.

If this report is accurate, it clearly suggests there could have been some degree of prior knowledge of the bombing, which killed two people and injured at least 23.

The fact that the explosions were preceded and overlapped by a”drill” of an almost identical nature mirrors other major terror attacks, such as the 7/7 bombings in London.

It is important to emphasize that the New York Times recently reported that most of the recent domestic terror plots in the United States “were facilitated by the F.B.I.,” suggesting that today’s incident in Boston may have been part of such an operation.

It remains to be seen how the media and the Obama administration will exploit this incident depending who gets the blame, but Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a serious crisis go to waste” advisory is sure to be in play.

More on this story as it develops…..

Gold Crashes Most in 30 Years … What Does It Really Mean?

Why Is Gold Crashing?

Gold has fallen off a cliff. It has fallen faster than at any time in the last 30 years.

Zero Hedge notes:

Adding insult to injury, the Shanghai Gold Exchange overnight announced that following the tumbling precious metal prices and limit down drop in early trading, it may raise trading margins for its gold and silver forward contracts.

Raising margin requirements tends to trigger further selling.

(Update: CME has also raised margin requirements.)

Some Say It Is a Good Time to Buy

While most financial advisers are screaming “sell!”, there are some well-known contrarians.

For example, Bill Gross still recommends buying gold.

Marc Faber says:

“I love the fact that gold is finally breaking down because that will offer an excellent buying opportunity” …. “The bull market in gold is not completed.”

John Hathaway of Tocqueville Funds (with $10 billion under management) says that the selloff in gold is “a contrarian’s dream scenario”:

The evidence shows strong macro fundamentals for gold, investor sentiment at a negative extreme and compelling valuations in the mining shares. It seems like a contrarian’s dream scenario to us.

And Zero Hedge notes that – from the perspective of technical analysis – gold is the most oversold it has been in 14 years.

The Bearish Explanation

But why has gold crashed?

Bloomberg blames:

  • “Optimism that a U.S. recovery will curb the need for stimulus”; and
  • “The prospect that beleaguered members of the euro zone might be forced to sell gold to raise part of the funding, and there are much bigger holders in that category than Cyprus.”

Citigroup opines:

Gold decline may have been related to some break in technical levels and the general improvement in global risk appetite.

CNN theorizes:

Monday’s broad decline was sparked by slowing growth in China. The world’s second biggest economy grew by 7.7% in the first quarter of the year, down from 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The growth number was higher than the Chinese government’s target for 2013 but much weaker than the 8% most economists were expecting.

Other China data also raised doubts about the health of the global economy – industrial production slowed to 8.9% in March against economists’ forecasts for about 10%.

The weak China data could mean reduced demand for commodities from the world’s second biggest economy and subdued inflationary pressures. Gold is often viewed as a safe store of value when prices are rising.

Larry Edelson writes:

You have to realize that sometimes gold is money … and sometimes it’s not.

Right now, gold is not money. Just consider what’s happening in Japan. The wicked and aggressive devaluation of the Japanese yen is setting off a massive stampede OUT of gold and into cash and other assets.

***

Why are the Japanese dumping gold, especially when their currency is being devalued?

It’s simple. The fall in the Japanese yen caused the price of gold in yen to spike sharply higher. So Japanese investors are cashing in their profits.

In addition, Japanese investors want to either spend their gold proceeds, or move it into other assets. They need liquidity. And holding on to gold is not a liquid situation.

It’s very easy to understand. This sort of thing is also happening in Europe, where gold demand is also down.

Why? Because if you have money in a bank, Cyprus has proven that European leaders will stop at nothing to try to solve Europe’s crisis, even if it means confiscating your money from your bank.

Gold’s not going to do you much good in that situation. If you take your money out of the bank and buy gold, how are you going to pay for the basic necessities in life?

Moreover, how are you going to move your gold out of the country, if that’s what you wish to do (which many Europeans are indeed doing)?

Moving physical gold around isn’t so easy either. It takes time and money to move your gold. And even then, you won’t know how safe it is, because in the back of your mind there’s always that fear that your gold could be confiscated.

The bottom line: While gold is indeed the ultimate long-term store of value against depreciating currencies and failing governments, there are times when forces that are seemingly bullish for gold are actually bearish.

Business Insider argues:

[Gold's price collapse] vindicates the economic ideas of the economic elites.

***

To respond to the economic crisis, economists and mainstream policy makers have favored highly unusual policy measures (massive Fed balance sheet expansion, massive stimulus, etc.). These ideas are usually based on years of traditional economic research (Keynesianism, monetarism, etc.).

All of these ideas have been slammed by heterodox types like Austrian economists, who have warned of hyperinflation, and gold going to $10,000.

So the collapse in gold is not about gold, but about vindication for a large corpus of belief and economic research, which has largely panned out. It’s great that our economic elites know what they’re talking about, and have the tools at their disposal to address crises without creating some new catastrophe.

Things aren’t great in the economy, but the collapse/hyperinflation fears haven’t panned out, and the decline in gold is a manifestation of that.

Barry Ritholtz writes:

History shows Gold trades differently than equities. Why? It comes back to those fundamentals.

It has are none.

This is not to say gold is not affected by Macro issues. But that is very different than saying Gold has a fundamental value, an intrinsic worth. It does not. That led to this heretical advice: Gold is not, and can never be, an investment. It has no true intrinsic value, no cash flow, no earnings, no coupon. no yield. What people call fundamentals are nothing more than broad macro analysis (and how have your macro funds done lately?). Gold is the ultimate greater fool trade, with many of its owners part of a collective belief theory rife with cognitive errors and bias.

I do not want to engage in Goldenfreude — the delight in gold bugs’ collective pain — but I am compelled to point out how basic flaws in their belief system has led them to this place where they are today.

Gold does trade technically, and is especially driven by the collective belief system of the crowd. When that falter, well, you know what happens . . .

Gold Bug View

Gold bugs, on the other hand, see things quite differently.

Andrew Maguire says that the crash is solely in the paper gold market … and that there is actually a shortage of physical gold. Many other sources make the same claim.

Egon von Greyerz – founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management – argues:

They shouldn’t be concerned about the temporary pressure on gold. This decline has nothing to do with the physical market because enormous demand for gold continues.

The paper market in gold is not a real market, and at some point in the near future paper gold holders will wake up and realize they are holding are worthless pieces of paper. This is when the world will witness one of the greatest short squeezes in history as investors panic in to physical and the price of gold explodes to the upside.”

London bullion dealer Sharps Pixley thinks that the crash was largely initiated by a single entity:

The gold futures markets opened in New York on Friday 12th April to a monumental 3.4 million ounces (100 tonnes) of gold selling of the June futures contract in what proved to be only an opening shot. The selling took gold to the technically very important level of $1540 which was not only the low of 2012, it was also seen by many as the level which confirmed the ongoing bull run which dates back to 2000. In many traders minds it stood as a formidable support level… the line in the sand.

Two hours later the initial selling, rumoured to have been routed through Merrill Lynch’s floor team, by a rather more significant blast when the floor was hit by a further 10 million ounces of selling (300 tonnes) over the following 30 minutes of trading. This was clearly not a case of disappointed longs leaving the market – it had the hallmarks of a concerted ‘short sale’, which by driving prices sharply lower in a display of ‘shock & awe’ – would seek to gain further momentum by prompting others to also sell as their positions as they hit their maximum acceptable losses or so-called ‘stopped-out’ in market parlance – probably hidden the unimpeachable (?) $1540 level.

The selling was timed for optimal impact with New York at its most liquid, while key overseas gold markets including London were open and able feel the impact. The estimated 400 tonne of gold futures selling in total equates to 15% of annual gold mine production – too much for the market to readily absorb, especially with sentiment weak following gold’s non performance in the wake of Japanese QE, a nuclear threat from North Korea and weakening US economic data.

By forcing the market lower the Fund sought to prompt a cascade or avalanche of additional selling, proving the lie \; predictably some newswires were premature in announcing the death of the gold bull run doing, in effect, the dirty work of the shorters in driving the market lower still.

Gold Core’s Mark O’Byrne agrees.

James Rickards thinks the Fed is manipulating the gold market (and every other market).

Former assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts says:

Rapidly rising bullion prices were an indication of loss of confidence in the dollar and were signaling a drop in the dollar’s exchange rate. The Fed used naked shorts in the paper gold market to offset the price effect of a rising demand for bullion possession. Short sales that drive down the price trigger stop-loss orders that automatically lead to individual sales of bullion holdings once their loss limits are reached.

***

According to Andrew Maguire, on Friday, April 12, the Fed’s agents hit the market with 500 tons of naked shorts. Normally, a short is when an investor thinks the price of a stock or commodity is going to fall. He wants to sell the item in advance of the fall, pocket the money, and then buy the item back after it falls in price, thus making money on the short sale. If he doesn’t have the item, he borrows it from someone who does, putting up cash collateral equal to the current market price. Then he sells the item, waits for it to fall in price, buys it back at the lower price and returns it to the owner who returns his collateral. If enough shorts are sold, the result can be to drive down the market price.

***

Bullion dealer Bill Haynes told kingworldnews.com that last Friday bullion purchasers among the public outpaced sellers by 50 to 1, and that the premiums over the spot price on gold and silver coins are the highest in decades. I myself checked with Gainesville Coins and was told that far more buyers than sellers had responded to the price drop.

***

In addition to short selling that is clearly intended to drive down the gold price, orchestration is also indicated by the advance announcements this month first from brokerage houses and then from Goldman Sachs that hedge funds and institutional investors would be selling their gold positions.

***

I see the orchestrated effort to suppress the price of gold and silver as a sign that the authorities are frightened that trouble is brewing that they cannot control unless there is strong confidence in the dollar.

Roberts also says:

This is an orchestration (the smash in gold). It’s been going on now from the beginning of April. Brokerage houses told their individual clients the word was out that hedge funds and institutional investors were going to be dumping gold and that they should get out in advance. Then, a couple of days ago, Goldman Sachs announced there would be further departures from gold. So what they are trying to do is scare the individual investor out of bullion. Clearly there is something desperate going on….

Indeed, this may tie into the Federal Reserve leak of insider information. Specifically, Roberts writes:

The Federal Reserve began its April Fool’s assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the government’s own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped.

As Congressman Grayson pointed out in a recent letter, right after the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee leaked valuable inside information to big banks, Goldman told its clients:

We recommend initiating a short COMEX gold position ….
