Bilderberg Releases Official Attendee List And Press Release

May 31, 2012

In an uncharacteristic move, the official Bilderberg Meeting website has released a press release and attendee list for 2012 before the conference has officially started. Both are posted below:

Bilderberg Releases Official Attendee List And Press Release 808 westfields marriott washington dulles hotels

Press Release:

The 60th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, USA from 31 May – 3 June 2012. The Conference will deal mainly with political, economic and societal issues like Transatlantic Relations, Evolution of the Political Landscape in Europe and the US, Austerity and Growth in Developed Economies, Cyber Security, Energy Challenges, the Future of Democracy, Russia, China and the Middle East.

Approximately 145 participants will attend of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America and other countries. About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education, and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion.

Bilderberg takes its name from the hotel in Holland, where the first meeting took place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on common problems of critical importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.

The Cold War has now ended. But in practically all respects there are more, not fewer, common problems – from trade to jobs, from monetary policy to investment, from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international security. It is hard to think of any major issue in either Europe or North America whose unilateral solution would not have repercussions for the other.

 

Thus the concept of  a European-American forum has not been overtaken by time. The dialogue between these two regions  is still – even increasingly – critical.

What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is the broad cross-section of leading citizens that are assembled for nearly three days of informal and off-the-record discussion about topics of current concern especially in the fields of foreign affairs and the international economy; the strong feeling among participants that in view of the differing attitudes and experiences of the Western nations, there remains a clear need to further develop an understanding in which these concerns can be accommodated; the privacy of the meetings, which has no purpose other than to allow  participants to speak their minds openly and freely.

In short, Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.

Bilderberg’s only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, fifty-nine conferences have been held. The names of the participants are made available to the press.  Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity.

THE MEANING OF OCCUPY BILDERBURG!!

The Meaning of Occupy Bilderberg: The Elevation of The Shadow Into Public Consciousness

Saman Mohammadi
Prisonplanet.com
May 31, 2012

“What a difference a year makes. Occupy Bilderberg? I love it. The Occupy movement seems finally to have realised that the problem isn’t the 1%, it’s the 0.001%. It’s the guys and gals and whatever David Rockefeller is who are meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, at the end of the week. Many hundreds of protestors have pledged to show up. And who knows, they may just manage to drag the mainstream news media with them.” – Charlie Skelton: Bilderberg 2012: the technocrats are rising at this year’s annual conference; May 30, 2012.

“Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all.” – Sophocles.

The occupy movement is growing up and taking on the big boys at the 2012 Bilderberg conference, held in Chantilly, Virginia.

Bilderberg is the shadow G8 and G20. Its much more powerful and influential in global affairs than those public bodies. It is the invisible layer of skin under the thick public skin of national governments, global media, global banks, global charities, and global corporations

 

When you peel away the public skin, you find a virus spreading underneath, and that virus is the Bilderberg plutocrats who want tokeep nations impoverished and under-developed for their own gain. Of course, their view of the world situation is the exact opposite. They see the 99% as a virus on the planet, and they are the cure. They seek to, “micro-manage the human race, which they regard as a plague on the earth,” writes Paul Joseph Watson.

Instituting anti-growth policies on a global basis in the name of “protecting the environment” is a matter of pride to them. Launching illegal wars to reduce the size of the human population and increase the size of their bank accounts gives them joy and a great sense of accomplishment.

According to criminal Bilderbergers and their collaborators in the media, the Earth needs “healing” and the quickest ways of removing the human virus is by starting another massive world war, and creating poverty and starvation worldwide. Their highly secret global depopulation agenda came to life as a result of the false flag 9/11 events, which had the propaganda effect of pitting the Western world and Israel against the Islamic world.

Over the last several years, Bilderberg has come under increasing scrutiny from the global alternative press. Its plots and schemes, whether it concerns U.S. domestic politics, the global economic crisis, or the wars in the Middle East, have been discovered and exposed by a new generation of media activists and reporters.

 

In the field of Bilderberg coverage American journalist Jim Tucker still casts a long shadow, having consistently reported on Bilderberg conferences for over three and a half decades. His persistence and determination has inspired thousands on the ground, and infuriated thousands in the sky.

The Bilderberg sky gods are especially filled with rage this year because of all the buzz that dedicated protesters and activists have created. Their minions in the state security services have erected a fortress around the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles hotel, where Bilderbergers are set to meet to discuss sensitive global issues, and make world policy decisions that will have repercussions for the entire world.

“Given the fact that a record number of demonstrators are expected to attend,” writes Paul Joseph Watson, “Bilderberg has been more stringent than ever before in its efforts to get people out of the way.” They’ve engaged in threats, spread false rumours to demonize protesters, and intensified security measures to intimidate journalists into vacating the premises.

 

All the security and secrecy is meant to cover up the fact that they’re deciding the political fate of the world without consulting the people of the world.

The Bilderberg oligarchy’s biggest long-term political project is the European Union, which is facing a severe legitimacy crisis in the wake of the global economic meltdown. The EU is a grandiose experiment but it is destined to fail and collapse under the current immoral, incompetent, and corrupt leadership.

Europeans don’t want to be enslaved and robbed by a parasitic and transnational financial class anymore. Iceland has provided the best example thus far of an economic recovery without the banksters.

 

The lesson from Iceland is simple: nations prosper without the international private banking cartel, and die with it. America has been controlled by this heartless and satanic cartel for a century, and its currency and reputation has been destroyed as a result.

One of the biggest global political goals of the Bilderbergers is the destruction of America and all nation states, and the creation of a global security state. The NATO summit in Chicago gave us a glimpse into the dark heart of the emerging global security state. But the real heart of this invisible and secretive state is the Bilderberg conference.

Without popular legitimacy and political accountability at the highest levels, however, a universal security state will crash and burn.

Washington is the military enforcer of the Bilderberg’s global political and economic policies. The tragic irony is that America is one of the biggest losers of the policy of corporate globalism. The undermining of American sovereignty by numerous White House administrations at the behest of the internationalist Bilderberg oligarchy has created a weaker and poorer America.

President Obama is the latest American presidential puppet to follow the secret policy of destroying America from within. Mitt Romney will continue on this treasonous course if he wins the election in November.

The political power that will guide the destiny of America in January 2013 will not be Mr. Obamney, but the Bilderberg oligarchy, as it has done for decades now. That is why elevating the secretive Bilderberg conference into public consciousness is so important.

 

In Barack Obama’s shadow stands the Bilderberg oligarchy, and the same is for Romney’s shadow. The president of the United States has no power today other than the power to lie and persuade. The President’s function is to be a ghost, a liar, an image, an actor, a salesman, a comforter. It doesn’t matter which liar and flip flopper wins in November. Obamney is just a smiley face on a sick and sinister machinery of power. Every word they speak is hollow.

Occupy Bilderberg is bringing the real yet ever mysterious shadow masters into the light of public consciousness. The symbolic power of the American president is disintegrating in front of our eyes. The people are waking up and confronting the criminal plutocratic manipulators who hide their power in the shadows, where they are plotting against the global public good and the general welfare of humanity.

 

Now that the Bilderberg has been pushed out of the shadows, it can’t go back in the safe confines of the shade and play the secrecy game. The age of the shadow is over. And there’s nothing that the Bilderberg scum can do about it.

History can be manipulated, but history can’t be stopped. The people can be misled and tricked for a long time, but not forever. The truth can be suppressed, but not erased. Those who perform evil deeds in the shadow can’t keep their guilt hidden from the world.

The arrogant Bilderbergers thought they could manipulate history, trick mankind, suppress the truth, and plot evil in the darkness endlessly, all without being noticed, but things have turned out differently than they imagined.

Agenda 21 To Be Discussed at Bilderberg Confab

Global warming alarmist Redford to attend elite conference

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, May 30, 2012

The attendance of Alberta Premier and global warming alarmist Alison Redford at this year’s Bilderberg conference, during which she will discuss “ecological challenges,” confirms that Agenda 21 and the bid to re-brand the stuttering climate change power grab will be core issues at the elitist confab set to take begin tomorrow.

Agenda 21 To Be Discussed at Bilderberg Confab PC 120110 415lq alison redford sn635

“According to a government news release, Redford will meet with a number of individuals to discuss topics like monetary policy, ecological challenges and responsible development of natural resources,” reports CBC News.

Redford’s attendance at the clandestine meeting of global power brokers is costing Canadian taxpayers $19,000 dollars.

Her appearance represents yet another example of how Bilderberg is not merely a talking shop but an active consensus-making forum for people in positions of power. Redford will be scheming with power brokers from foreign countries in complete secrecy and with total disregard for her democratic obligations to the Canadian people.

Redford is an aggressive advocate of the man-made explanation behind climate change. During an election debate earlier this year, she attacked Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith as a national embarrassment simply because Smith dared to suggest that the science on global warming was not settled.

Redford’s advocacy for more controls on carbon emissions is directly in line with the Obama administration’s war against America’s coal industry and the wider Bilderberg agenda for a“post-industrial revolution,” where energy use will be severely restricted in the name of saving the earth, leading to plummeting living standards.

 

The United Nations’ Agenda 21 project demands that member nations adopt “sustainable development” policies that are little more than a disguise for the reintroduction of neo-feudalism and only serve to reduce living standards and quality of life.

The true motivation behind this agenda was recently unveiled at the‘Planet Under Pressure’ conference in London, during which climate change alarmists presented their blueprint for humans to be packed into denser cities so that the rest of the planet can be surrendered to mother nature. This process is already well underway in California where laws passed to mitigate car use and carbon dioxide emissions have led to policies that mandate up to 30 homes be built on a single acre of land.

 

It’s a similar idea to the nightmare ‘Planned-Opolis’ proposal put out by the Forum for the Future organization last year, in which human activity will be tightly regulated by a dictatorial technocracy in the name of saving the planet, with cars for personal use banned and only accessible to members of the elite.

The mindset of this gaggle of arrogant, scoffing elitists in their drive to micro-manage the human race, which they regard as a plague on the earth, was best encapsulated by the following quote from ‘Planet Under Pressure’ attendee and Yale University professor Karen Seto.

“We certainly don’t want them (humans) strolling about the entire countryside. We want them to save land for nature by living closely [together],” Seto told MSNBC.

Bilderberg elitists like Redford will no doubt be sharing similar rhetoric at this week’s confab, which kicks off on Thursday at the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles hotel in Chantilly, Virginia.

EU Titans To Address Euro Crisis At Bilderberg

Globalists fear Greek exit could torpedo single currency

EU Titans To Address Euro Crisis At Bilderberg Herman+Van+Rompuy

President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy will join fellow elitists at the 2012 Bilderberg conference this week to discuss the collapsing euro and how the Greek debt crisis threatens to unravel the quest for a European federal superstate.

According to veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker, Van Rompuy will be joined by former president of the European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet to wargame with other Bilderberg members on how to handle a potential Greek exit from the single currency system.

 

Van Rompuy’s presence at Bilderberg is particularly noteworthy given the fact that the Belgian attended a dinner organized by the Bilderberg Group in Brussels where he met with top Bilderberg steering committee members just days before he was announced as EU president back in 2009.

Van Rompuy held discussions with Bilderberg chairman Étienne Davignon, who earlier the same year had bragged to the EU Observer about how the Euro single currency was a brainchild of the Bilderberg Group. Van Rompuy also had a meeting with lifelong Bilderberg member Henry Kissinger.

Both Trichet and Van Rompuy have been staunch advocates of the single currency, in line with other Bilderberg members who, as we have highlighted, are desperate to prevent a Greek exit.

In a recent Financial Times piece written by Arvind Subramanian, a Senior Fellow at the Peter G. Peterson Institute for International Economics, which counts amongst its directors numerous influential Bilderberg members, including former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, former United States Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, and Bilderberg kingpin David Rockefeller, the elite’s true concerns over a ‘Grexit’ are perfectly encapsulated.

 

“Suppose that by mid-2013 Greece’s economy is recovering, while the rest of the eurozone remains in recession. The effect on austerity-addled Spain, Portugal and even Italy would be powerful. Voters there would not fail to notice the improving condition of their hitherto scorned Greek neighbour. They would start to ask why their own governments should not follow the Greek path and voice a preference for leaving the eurozone. In other words, the Greek experience could fundamentally alter the incentives for these countries to remain in the eurozone, especially if economic conditions remained grim,” writes Subramanian, adding that Greece’s potential exit “may prove an infectious model” and lead to the demise of “the eurozone and perhaps for the European project.”

 

The euro crisis has been a key talking point at each of the last three Bilderberg meetings. In both 2010 and 2011, political consensus formed by Bilderberg members was enough to keep the euro on life support for another 12 months each time, and the same globalists will once again try and hammer out a strategy behind closed doors that will provide redemption for their cherished pet project.

Jim Tucker’s inside source also told him that the prospect of a war with Iran would again be a topic of this year’s confab.

According to Tucker, Bilderberg members will be convening in the west wing of the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles hotel.

Thousands of wealthy earners manage to zero out tax bills

More than 35,000 people who had income of more than $200,000 in 2009 paid no federal income taxes that year, according to a new report from the Internal Revenue Service.

The non-taxpayers were among the top 3 percent of all earners with more than $200,000 in "expanded income," which includes adjusted gross income plus other less common sources of income such as tax-exempt interest or foreign income.

 

The number of wealthy people who paid no federal income taxes rose between 2007 and 2009, thanks in part to new tax credits, according to the report. 

Programs such as a relatively new refundable alternative minimum tax credit and the first-time homebuyer credit helped a tiny portion of these wealthy earners to zero out their federal tax bill.

Some of those credits were introduced as a way to help spur spending and economic growth.  Previously, the main tax credits available only applied to people with lower incomes.

For 2009, the report found that about nearly 4 million people, or about 2.8 percent of all taxpayers, had expanded income of $200,000 a year. About 0.8 percent of them, or 35,061 people, paid no federal income tax.

More than 4,000 of those people benefited from the new tax credits, according to the report.

The total number of wealthy people who did not pay any income taxes increased slightly from 2008 but saw a major jump from 2007, likely due to a combination of factors.

 

In general, the report noted, it takes a number of credits and deductions for a wealthy person can zero out a tax bill. These can include things like tax-exempt interest, medical deductions and charitable contributions.

Some wealthy taxpayers are also likely paid taxes to other countries even if they did not pay them in this country.

Nearly half of all  American households don’t pay any federal income taxes, thanks to tax credits, deductions and other provisions in the tax code. However, many of those taxpayers are poor or elderly.

The issue of whether wealthy people pay their fair share of income taxes has been in the spotlight for nearly a year, since billionaire Warren Buffett implored lawmakers to tax the rich more. The so-called Buffett Rule, which would have required some millionaires to pay more in taxes, was rejected by the Senate in April.

TOMARI SHUTDOWN MAY SAVE THE WORLD

Tomari shutdown leaves Japan without nuclear power

Tomari nuclear plant, Hokkaido (file photo - Sept 2011)The last of the three reactors at the Tomari nuclear plant is being switched off

Related Stories

Japan is switching off its last working nuclear reactor, as part of the safety drive since the March 2011 tsunami triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima plant.

The third reactor at the Tomari plant, in Hokkaido prefecture, is shutting down for routine maintenance.

It leaves Japan without energy from atomic power for the first time for more than 40 years.

Until last year, Japan got 30% of its power from nuclear energy.

Hundreds of people marched through Tokyo, waving banners to celebrate what they hope will be the end of nuclear power in Japan.

Power shortages

“Start Quote

Not a single [nuclear reactor] will be up and running today, and that's because of our efforts”

Masashi IshikawaAnti-nuclear campaigner

Since the Fukushima disaster, all the country's reactors have been shut down for routine maintenance. They must withstand tests against earthquakes and tsunamis, and local authorities must give their consent in order for plants to restart.

So far, none have.

Two reactors at the Ohi plant in western Japan have been declared safe. The government says they should be restarted to combat looming shortages.

However, regional authorities would still have to give their approval.

Ministers have warned Japan faces a summer of power shortages.

The BBC's Roland Buerk, in Tokyo, says the government could force the issue, but so far has been reluctant to move against public opinion.

Organisers of the anti-nuclear march in the capital estimated turnout at 5,500.

Demonstrators carried banners shaped as giant fish. The "Koinobori" banners, traditionally the symbol of Children's Day, have been adopted by the anti-nuclear movement.

Anti-nuclear doemonstrators in Tokyo carrying carp-shaped banner (5 May)Anti-nuclear demonstrators carried the carp-shaped banners that have become a symbol of their movement.

"There are so many nuclear plants, but not a single one will be up and running today, and that's because of our efforts," campaigner Masashi Ishikawa told the crowd.

Engineers began the process of shutting down the final Tomari reactor, inserting control rods to bring the fission process to an end.

All operations at the plant will have stopped by 14:00 GMT, a spokesman told Associated Press.

World's worst nuclear incidents

  • Level 7: Chernobyl, Ukraine, 1986 - explosion and fire in operational reactor, fallout over thousands of square kilometres, possible 4,000 cancer cases
  • Level 7: Fukushima, 2011 - tsunami and possibly earthquake damage from seismic activity beyond plant design. Long-term effects unknown
  • Level 6: Kyshtym, Russia, 1957 - explosion in waste tank leading to hundreds of cancer cases, contamination over hundreds of square kilometres
  • Level 5: Windscale, UK, 1957 - fire in operating reactor, release of contamination in local area, possible 240 cancer cases
  • Level 5: Three Mile Island, US, 1979 - instrument fault leading to large-scale meltdown, severe damage to reactor core

Japan will then be without nuclear power for the first time since 1970.

Businesses have warned of severe consequences for manufacturing if no nuclear plants are allowed to re-start.

In the meantime, Japan has increased its fossil fuel imports, with electricity companies pressing old power plants into service.

If the country can get through the steamy summer without blackouts, calls to make the nuclear shutdown permanent will get louder, our correspondent says.

The six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was badly damaged by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Blasts occurred at four of the reactors after the cooling systems went offline, triggering radiation leaks and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people.

A 20km (12m) exclusion zone remains in place around the plant.


NOTE;This is very good news for the world. As you remember my last posting and new update, St. Germain said that if they remain operating and another Quake or Tsunami or floods (GFL) hit then we would have to leave the planet quickly. I think the protesters will stop them from reopening, that is the few that can past the test .So the cosmic mind of cosmic consciousness is working and we are doing our part.The world is changing very fast.ADONAI

They said the icey meteroites and the distance hid it from there telescopes. NASA creates there own truth as they go along, must be some important reason that they now finally release the news halfway through 2012. Maybe the church told them to or maybe they find it of benefit it and when they decide to go through with the last ditch fake invasion plan of the DC.

NIBIRU;And what most thought was VENUS in the sky and so bright sometimes it looked like the sun or another moon. Last report I stated a pilot ditched his plane to avoid hitting something very bright. So I went out with my new Canon camera and took some Photos of it at night when it was near the moon the wk before the super moon last month. The Moon and Nibiru both had a piece missing at the top and they were both about the same size but to far apart to zoom in on both so I did Nibiru separate and it was very bright white light but when I zoomed in it was a brilliant blue, still with a piece missing on top.This wk Hanton explained a new story that it is now inhabited by the Plaidians from the LYRA and that they are here to help us as many of us are decedents of them from the time of Atlantis.


The Plaidians also channeled info saying that they are our relatives and that they are sorry that so many of us died the body during the sinking of Atlantis that they couldn't rescue up on there ships. They asked us to search our hearts to see that all of this is true for those of us here now with there DNA and blood in us. I myself feel a close bond with them more than any other race. I do however find it rather strange that they are now inhabiting this Nibiru that was once was a death star with many bad aliens on it and was hit and disarmed by the GFL last yr.,if you remember my news report on it then. Apiece of it was knocked of when hit by a giant laser beam and NASA recorded the whole thing and called it a comet or rogue Planet. And that the beam was a CME from sun. There are just to many stories about Planet-X and Nibiru to know which is true. But I do feel for our brothers from Lrya and I would not hesitate to go with them or to invite them here! There are those that think that the last solar eclipse was between Nibiru and the sun not the moon. There are vids up on U-tube. And don't forget the venus eclipse is coming upon the 5-6th June and the Mayans messiah returns?

TWO HUGE MOTHERS SHIPS RETURN NEAR THE SUN; 17th of May,the Mother Ship that is 7x the size of earth and that was here  a little over two wks ago is back again with a partner the size of the moon, that looks similar to the one that was near the Sun early last month is back sitting just above the Mother of mother ships. Neither one sems to mind the heat at all in fact they seem to enjoy it as a exchange of energy is coming from the sun into the MOMA ship and another sort of enery is returning back to the sun, some think it is some form of plasma. Others of the GFL has suggested that there are beings living inside the sun. Maybe they are communicating  with each other about healing or stabilizing the sun who is also greatly effected by the Photon Belt.NASA calls the Photonic cloud and 2 yrs. over due for a pole reversal. We should also note here that the huge black Triangle is also back inside the sun going from the point at the top of the sun to the base at the bottom. The sun is still having serous storms and throwing out large CME's mainly from area 1476 which is not far from the previous storm of 1426. The Halo's and CME's when they get into the high M-class and X class seems to cause not only storms down here but just like in the 2012 Movie the neutrino beams and the charged particles beams are heating up the earth and causing it to expand at a much faster rate than normal and of course more and bigger earth quakes and Volcano eruptions like the ones we just had during the solar eclipse and alignment. Three major eruptions and three major quakes if you don't count the large number of high six's in Japan on that day and several days afterwards and we had a metear shower over the world seen by the space station.

IF FUKUSHIMA GOES WE GO; And speaking of the infamous Fukushima melt down that I posted yesterday from science journal. FUKUSHIMA is already 7-20 times worse than Chernobyl was . That the MSM news and scientist hides this is a real shame especially for the Japanese people who are being poisoned to death slowly again but this time its there own fault. The posting read that when # 4 rector finally goes , and or another big quake or Tsinumi hits  japan again, that first half of japan must evacuate then all of Japan must get out as they will not be able to maintain the other 50 of them. And 26 of them are in the same site area as this 4 that have gone down. St. Germain through a diffrent channel said that if and when those happen not only will Japan have to evacuate but we all must be prepared to evacuate the old Earth as well within a short notice and they wont to count heads now so the GLF will know who want's to go and who want to stay. And I believe this could also happen from the oceans rising from the pole shift and ocean floor rising that the GFL was talking about last month that would happen by the end of Sept. and first wk of Oct. this year. Even if this is not the real St. Germain the info about Fukushima is still true because the GFL says the oceans will rise and then the rest of the nuke plants will go that haven't went yet. Nostrodomus sys half of Japan will go under the sea this year. So it dosent look good my friends. I hope the GFL can fix them before its to late.

HAITI MTN'S RICH IN GOLD AND SILVER; It seems that the big quake that they had a couple of years ago opened up cracks and holes in there mtn's exposing large amounts of gold and Silver vains plus other metals and precious stones. So something good has come from the quake.But the question is will the people ever see any of this wealth filter down to them and what about the story that the DC caused the Quake with there HAARP Weapon. GFL says at least the after shock was done by them in Haiti and Japan's quake. One to get precious metal's and the other to cause lose of life and poison of the world . So whats up with this? and what will they do next. Time for them to go,yes.

MORE DC INFILTRATE ACC; It seems they are getting more bold on this sight sense Ben is letting others in. Now we have a new one who not only admits being a 32% Freemason and member of the Illuminati who is proud of who he is and working for them, that he puts the info on his profile hiding nothing and Ben did nothing about it. This guy calls himself'mustwakeselfup'' and he is already causing confusing issues with the newly awaken youth and strange discussions he's asking everyone to be his friend. I told him to get off this forum and to leave our youth alone. I also sent Ben a message about him but got no answer and he's still running amuck and hes got his comrads to back him up. We already have enough problems with those who are double agents on this site,so we don't need more! Beware friends! and send Ben a message that we don't want that type of DC trash on this site .Its suppose to be a spiritual community forum. Remember the Norway mass murderer was a 32% Freemason and Illuminati and proud of it as well !

THREE YOUNG ATHLETES DIE OF HEART ATTACK, last month two football (soccer) players collopseed on the field and later died one in England died for 2 hrs& 45 min. Then returned to life he was 22 and the 14 r.old did not revive and the game was halted. the 3rd was a Norway male champion Olympic swimmer who was 26,died after practice in Arz.USA. These are all young men in there prime, so what caused the heart attacks at that age? must be the DC or the Chem-trails, but why those and not others.I find this to be very strange and there must be more that we haven't heard!

ECONOMIC COLLAPSE COMING SOON; Our E T friends and others who channel and inside info says its coming soon to get ready for it. and put food and fuel and supplies away. It should only last a few wks before the new $ system takes over the old after it fails. they didn't say who would fail first the EU $ or the US$ maybe they will do it together at the same time in unison. I sounds as though they think it will be in the next month as summer starts. There will probably be many demonstration and later riots when they fall but our GFL friends will be there to catch them,I Hope. And were still waiting for Disclosure and Contact but they say they can't do it without us and we can't save ourselves and the Planet and get rid of the DC without them. So everyone needs to do there part to help. By the way the top CEO'S of the finical sector average over ten Million a year income which is the salary of 383 blue collar workers. Some are making nearly 20 mil per yr. More becoming like Romney.

BOOMS AND BANGS STILL BEING HEARD, in England,Spain,Canada also USA Wa.,Ore.,Nevada,central Calf. Russia says the sounds seems to be coming from the ships that keep visiting them. That would be something if it were true. Some other places are saying the same thing that they see ships at he same time,maybe its a new signal.Adonai


COMMENT by rev.joshua skirvin 46 minutes ago from the GFL 5-26-12

I have been seeing this coming and thinking about it or maybe receiving info about it, to the point I am told to write a blog. Anyway what it seems like that is really happening is the 100 monkey effect which I and others have talked about. It only takes about 250,000 of us who become awake to wake up the rest of the world thats about 1/2 of 1%. Its also called cosmic consciousness. In other words they can not and will not interfere directly with our world. But what they have done is to get us to stand up for our rights against the DC. We are the ones who are bringing them (DC) down with some amont of assistance from GFL.

People all over the world are protesting not only against there corrupt governments but the Banksters and the DC in high places as heads of countries and industries and even the military war Mongols are losing there vets as they to wake up to being controlled by the DC. The GFL has shown us what we can do if we put our minds to it. JC said you can move mtn's if you had but the faith of a mustard seed. We are getting strong now not because'' they''are going to save us from them but because we are taking our power back that was taken from us so long time ago that we don't even have any records of it. Of course they (DC) did that on purpose to us.

We agreed to come here because we have been here before some of us many times and we were always struggling to overcome the DC but were never able to up until now with the help of our ET friends to back us up. So in the end it is us who will change the world and get rid of the DC with our big brother standing next to us for our protection and support. As the mass begins to wake up it will be as though a tremendous power is surging through us, from the spiritual realm who is directing this show, our big brother ET and from the energy emanating from all of us to each other as we realize that we are all one family.

And nothing will ever be the same from that time on, we will continue to march forward to whatever goal or Dimension or New Earth or planet or galaxies that we want , as long as our hearts are in the right place of benevolent intent. The way forward will continue on forever. We are on a journey without distant to a distant star.(JC). I hope this info from my higher self and Holy Spirit has helped,cause it has for me. Thanks for listening, blessings, be strong and be Safe. We are all we got so lets take good care of each other.ADONAI

Three Days of Darkness

The Three Days of Darkness

CM thru Candace

May 23, 2012
Dearly beloveds a few days ago, you saw a brief message about the days of approaching darkness. This was planned long ago and the usual method of ridding a planet of the dark living beings. The time has come, and although we did not cover this long ago, it is used with ministasis so that ones do not have to witness the removals. Its is so very simple, we just eclipse the sun with a large craft. This was done 2000 years go on the day of the cross, to remind people of that great travesty, but only for a few hours.


This will run 3 days plus the ministasis in the middle. The populace will only be aware of the 3 days. Many of you may be aboard craft during that time to be briefed. We will commence the teaching period shortly thereafter.

We have arranged the electricity will not function, so consider that in your preparations. The day times will not be as dark as night, just mid twilight to be expected, there is some light released around the eclipsed area.

This is long prophesied and we have come to this point after all attempts otherwise have gone without comprehension. Everyone on the planet will of course notice! This is divine in nature, and not OF nature so they will know, in whatever beliefs they have of "god", that this is of God. the timing will occur on my direction based on multiple conditions including the WAVE.

Tis a shame you dark ones that it comes to this, and many of you are already judged by the courts and will be facing your removal and in many cases your extermination. WE always win dear dark brothers, and you have lost your game.

Candace: This does NOT cause earth changes or other serious issues. I would think maybe a little weathe effects. It is NOT the time of the magic ascension either, don't read something into that. Many folks are "hearing" this now, I have seen a lot of posting on forums about it. I covered it for my glp readers here: Thread: Stasis, mini stasis, craft, Jupiter (Page 55) 

Just plan on what you need in the absense of heat and light. Candles and batteries will work. Your gas stoves will work, but you will have to light the burner. Put gas in the car, but I don't know if you would want to be out amongst people in fear. Obviously there will be an issue with shopping, since there will be no electricity. I assume you won't be going to work. Stand tall.

Chemtrails- United States Patent 5,003,186 ---Hughes Aircraft-1991----- Debunk this, Shills!
I have long maintained that since 1992 our skies have been 'different'.

I noticed 'condensation trails' from aircraft that did not dissipate in a timely fashion, in fact they seemed to spread out and join with others to form a barrier between us and the Sun.

Well here it is in black and white.
US patent office documents are the property of you and me,
the people of the USA, so no possibility of a copyright violation by posting the whole patent.

Stratospheric Welsbach seeding for reduction of global warming 

Abstract
A method is described for reducing atmospheric or global warming resulting from the presence of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, i.e., from the greenhouse effect. Such gases are relatively transparent to sunshine, but absorb strongly the long-wavelength infrared radiation released by the earth. The method incudes the step of seeding the layer of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere with particles of materials characterized by wavelength-dependent emissivity. Such materials include Welsbach materials and the oxides of metals which have high emissivity (and thus low reflectivities) in the visible and 8-12 micron infrared wavelength regions.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A method of reducing atmospheric warming due to the greenhouse effect resulting from a layer of gases in the atmosphere which absorb strongly near infrared wavelength radiation, comprising the step of dispersing tiny particles of a material within the gases' layer, the particle material characterized by wavelength-dependent emissivity or reflectivity, in that said material has high emissivities with respect to radiation in the visible and far infrared wavelength spectra, and low emissivity in the near infrared wavelength spectrum, whereby said tiny particles provide a means for converting infrared heat energy into far infrared radiation which is radiated into space. 

2. The method of claim wherein said material comprises one or more of the oxides of metals. 

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said material comprises aluminum oxide. 

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said material comprises thorium oxide. 

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said particles are dispersed by seeding the stratosphere with a quantity of said particles at altitudes in the range of seven to thirteen kilometers above the earth's surface. 

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the size of said particles is in the range of ten to one hundred microns. 

7. The method of claim wherein said material comprises a refractory material. 

8. The method of claim 1 wherein said material is a Welsbach material. 

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the number of said dispersed particles per unit area in the particle layer is greater than or equal to 1/.sigma..sub.abs 1, where 1 is the thickness of the particle layer and .sigma..sub.abs is the absorption coefficient of the particles at the far infrared wavelengths. 

10. A method for reducing atmospheric warming due to the greenhouse effect resulting from a greenhouse gases layer, comprising the following step: 

seeding the greenhouse gases' layer with a quantity of tiny particles of a material characterized by wavelength-dependent emissivity or reflectivity, in that said materials have high emissivities in the visible and far infrared wavelength spectra and low emissivity in the near infrared wavelength spectrum, 

whereby said particles are suspended within said gases' layer and provide a means for converting radiative energy at near infrared wavelengths into radiation at the far infrared wavelengths, permitting some of the converted radiation to escape into space. 

11. The method of claim 10 wherein said material comprises one or more of the oxides of metals. 

12. The method of claim 10 wherein said material comprises aluminum oxide. 

13. The method of claim 10 wherein said material is thorium oxide. 

14. The method of claim 10 wherein said seeding is performed at altitudes in the range of seven to thirteen kilometers above the earth's surface. 

15. The method of claim 10 wherein said material comprises a refractory material. 

16. The method of claim 10 wherein said particle size is in range of ten to one hundred microns. 

17. The method of claim 10 wherein said material is a Welsbach material. 

18. The method of claim 10 wherein the number of said dispersed particles per unit area in the particle layer is greater than or equal to 1/.sigma..sub.abs 1, where 1 is the thickness of the particle layer and .sigma..sub.abs is the absorption coefficient of the particles at the far infrared wavelengths.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 

This invention relates to a method for the reduction of global warming resulting from the greenhouse effect, and in particular to a method which involves the seeding of the earth's stratosphere with Welsbach-like materials. 

Global warming has been a great concern of many environmental scientists. Scientists believe that the greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming. Greatly increased amounts of heat-trapping gases have been generated since the Industrial Revolution. These gases, such as CO.sub.2, CFC, and methane, accumulate in the atmosphere and allow sunlight to stream in freely but block heat from escaping (greenhouse effect). These gases are relatively transparent to sunshine but absorb strongly the long-wavelength infrared radiation released by the earth. 

Most current approaches to reduce global warming are to restrict the release of various greenhouse gases, such as CO.sub.2, CFC, and methane. These imply the need to establish new regulations and the need to monitor various gases and to enforce the regulations. 

One proposed solution to the problem of global warming involves the seeding of the atmosphere with metallic particles. One technique proposed to seed the metallic particles was to add the tiny particles to the fuel of jet airliners, so that the particles would be emitted from the jet engine exhaust while the airliner was at its cruising altitude. While this method would increase the reflection of visible light incident from space, the metallic particles would trap the long wavelength blackbody radiation released from the earth. This could result in net increase in global warming. 

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for reduction of global warming due to the greenhouse effect which permits heat to escape through the atmosphere. 

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION...
NOTE; Actually it started back in the early 60's. I am a avid movie watcher sense I don't watch TV only vids and I am also a  avid Chemtrail watcher. I can recognize them anywhere anytime frame.I have found them in many of the old movies going all the way back to the early 60's. That's when they decided to test the south west US with Chemtrails and other test area's of the world. Then by the mid 90's they started spraying the around the world and by Oct 98 they were spraying the whole world and have not stopped sense then and noone can stop them. Also the Chemtrail work to help the HAARP weapon system. The GFL has promised many time to shut them down but so far they have not done it and it is only getting worse. I wrote about it in my e-book;2012 new earth survival.com,and I posted that chapter here last year but I will post it again sense they are still making us very sick, even now. And did you notice how they got it through in the post, saying it was to stop the green house effect,DC-BS. Be safe,Adonai. Rev.Joshua

Research Finds World’s Oceans ‘Plasticized’ and Trashed!

Anthony Gucciardi

Prisonplanet.com
May 22, 2012

The world’s major oceans are full of concerning amounts of ‘plastic waste’ that amounts to a colossal ‘synthetic soup’according to new reports from a large research ship that has set out to determine the condition of the world’s oceans.

What is known as the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’, which is essentially a large mass of trash inhabiting the Pacific ocean, is reportedly only a small extent of the contamination. In fact, the scientists have gone as far as to say that the oceans are ‘plasticized’, or laced with synthetic waste.

The expedition was organized by two leading nonprofit groups — the 5 Gyres Institute and the Algalita Marine Research Foundation. Once funded and set to sea, the 72-foot yacht is now voyaging from the Marshall Islands to Japan.
Nicknamed the Sea Dragon, the boat was provided by Pandea Exploration and seeks to test sea contamination levels throughout the massive journey — particularly of interest, however, is the previously unexplored western half of the North Pacific gyre (where high amounts of plastic debris are driven via the current). Stationed right below the 35th parallel, the area is home to the famous Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

All in all, the crew seeks to observe how the trash affects marine life and the extent to which it is present. Led by former United States marine and Ph.D student Marcus Eriksen, the findings are quite shocking. According to Eriksen:

‘We’ve been finding lots of micro plastics, all the size of a grain of rice or a small marble,’ he stated. ‘We drag our nets and come up with a small handful, like confetti — 10, 20, 30 fragments at a time. That’s how it’s been, every trawl we’ve done for the last thousand miles.’

The startling findings, he said, confirmed his view that the oceans are heavily ‘plasticized’. Eriksen believes that virtually everywhere you go in the ocean, you will find plastic waste.

This statement is perhaps most concerning when considering the fact that Eriksen has actually sailed through all five gyres, and has therefore seen mass contamination on a planetary scale. Looking for large objects like overturned boats, refrigerators, and other big appliances, Eriksen is also concerned about the amount of toxins being emitted from these items.

We’ll get an idea of how much is out there, what’s going on and what it’s carrying with it, in terms of toxins,’ he said.

Fukushima: If Number 4 Collapses, Japan Will Be Evacuated

Fukushima: If Number 4 Collapses, Japan Will Be Evacuated fukushima reactor 4 fuel pool

Fukushima Daiichi Reactor building 4 with its exposed fuel pool.

Chris Canine – who has 15 years experience as a health physics technician, chemist and radiation safety instructor – told Energy News that if number 4 reactor fuel pool at Fukushima collapses, Japan will be evacuated.

He did not elaborate on how such a logistical nightmare would be accomplished.

Canine worked at Fukushima in the late 1970s and has also worked at over twenty nuclear plants in the United States, Japan and Mexico.

He wrote:

There are several reasons why I believe the country will be evacuated if the #4 SFP collapses. The amount of radioactive material in the fuel pool dwarfs the total amount at Chernobyl by a factor of 5 to 10. Chernobyl’s core was still mostly contained in a building (although heavily damaged), and most of the radioactive material melted downward and became lava like. If #4 SFP collapses it will be lying on the completely open ground, probably going critical on and off in portions of the pile for years. The dose rate from this pile will make dropping sand or anything from the air much more lethal than anything at Chernobyl. And probably impossible. The entire site at Fukushima will be uninhabitable and unworkable because of the dose rate coming from this pile of fuel. That means there will be no control of the other fuel pools, and we could lose control of them.

Nuclear experts will soft sell the ramifications because that is how the industry works. When the experts “have concerns” about the situation at #4 that means they are pooping their pants. My experience at Fukushima was 30 years ago. I worked in the industry for about 15 years as a health physics technician. I was also referred to as a “nuclear gypsy” because I traveled from plant to plant working outages. That meant I was always in the middle of the hottest jobs in the heart of the plant. The engineers will talk about this part or that part of a plant, but I have been all those places wearing full gear.

In late February of this year it was reported that the Japanese government consideredevacuating the country’s most populous city, Tokyo.

A number of experts have called for evacuating areas of the country due to high radiation levels. Australian physician and anti-nuclear activist Dr. Helen Caldicott said in August that response by the Japanese government to the radiation danger posed by the destroyed plant has not been sufficient.

“The number of people evacuated is nothing compared to the total number of people at risk in Fukushima, which has a population of around two million or so in the prefecture,” Caldicott said.

She called for the immediate evacuation of the area northwest of Fukushima where people have been exposed to massive amounts of radiation. “The levels at which the Russians evacuated Chernobyl was at 500,000 becquerels,” she explained, “they have measured in these areas levels of between 3.5 and 14.5 million becquerels.”

Earlier this month, the Japanese newspaper Mainichi reported that TEPCO, the plant operator, had requested government permission to abandon the stricken facility following hydrogen explosions at the number 1 and 3 reactors and this “may very well have meant evacuating all of eastern Japan.”


NOTE; St. Germain says the next big quake or tsunami will finish Japan and the rest of the world. All of us will have to leave Old Earth very soon. Read my Galactic News Update. Adonai,Rev. Joshua

May 17, 2012 - Judge Blocks NDAA Indefinite Detention Provision. “[NDAA Sections 1021 and 1022] have a chilling impact on First Amendment rights. ...The vagueness of Section 1021 does not allow the average citizen, or even the government itself, to understand with the type of definiteness to which our citizens are entitled, or what conduct comes within its scope.” -


Katherine Forrest, U. S. District Judge, New York City On May 16, 2012, four and a half months after Pres. Barack Obama signed the controversial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on New Year's Eve during his Hawaiian vacation, U. S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan ruled in favor of reporters, writers and activists, who sued Pres. Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the Department of Defense for violating the free speech 1st Amendment in the American Bill of Rights in the NDAA's Sections 1021 and 1022 that would allow indefinite detainment under military authority of an American citizen or permanent resident only on “suspicion of providing substantial support” to people engaged in hostilities against the U.S., such as al-Qaeda.


May 16, 2012 - Mysterious Aerial Object Nearly Caused Mid-Air Collision Over Denver. “That's an issue because now we have something in controlled airspace that poses a danger.” - Former NTSB Investigator Greg Feith The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating and Denver's Channel 9-TV reports, “Radio transmissions from LiveATC.net confirm a nervous-sounding pilot reported a strange aerial object at 5:17 PM Mountain on Monday, May 14, 2012. The pilot is heard telling air traffic control: ‘A remote-controlled aircraft,Drone or what? Something just went by the other way ... about 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large, remote-controlled aircraft.’ The corporate jet, a Cessna Citation 525 CJ1, was flying at 8,000 feet above sea level over Cherry Creek when the mystery object came close enough to make any pilot nervous.” To date, military, local and federal law enforcement and local airports and model aircraft clubs deny any knowledge of what alarmed the Cessna pilot.

2008 POEM;BE STILL ,KNOW I AM GOD

Be still, know I am God

Here come signs of spring

It’s such a beautiful thing

Flowers blooming all around

New hope to be found

Joy sounding in our hearts

There’s always hope to start

It’s a feeling down deep inside

It’s nice to loose our pride

A spark of desire running wild

Looking in the eyes of a child

No worries what to do today

Tomorrow is just a smile away

To be the most we can be

In all our adventures we see

The results of our feelings

Being pulled into being

We’re much more than fear

Bringing forth the light near

Searching deep inside for truths unseen

Everything that we are has always been
(transcend)

We’re part of the whole scheme

Things aren’t what they seem

We’re both the dark and the light

Looking for something that feels so right

Confusion seems to be falling away

Letting free choice guide us today

Hoping to choose what is right

We have the goal in our sight

Too many thoughts and words

Running wild, it’s so absurd

Stopping for a moment in time

Feeling the words of this rhyme

What does it really all mean

Is there more we must make clean

Happiness is a fleeting thing it seems

Joy is the large smile that we beam

A knowingness to go within

Strength comes when we begin

Balancing our thoughts and receive

Being quiet brings us peace, just believe

May 20th Solar Eclipse Alignments

Solar Annular Eclipse – 20th May 2012
Global Planetary Alignments with Sacred Sites
Maximum Eclipse at 23:47 UT/GMT
This Eclipse begins west of Hong Kong, then it passes north of Taiwan and over Tokyo and Mount Fuji. It arcs up just south of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska at Maximum Eclipse (at 23:47 Universal Time = 14:47 AHDT / local time), then makes landfall at the northernmost edge of the San Andreas Fault. It passes over Mount Shasta, then crosses Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, and ends just inside Texas.
Path of May 20th Eclipse, with planetary alignments
This is an Annular Eclipse, which means that the Moon is positioned further away from the Earth than at a Total Eclipse, so it does not completely obscure the Sun, but leaves a ring (annulus) of sunlight visible around the Moon’s dark disk. According to NASA’s Fred Espenak, “annular eclipses have a special charm all their own. During an annular eclipse, sunbeams turn into little rings of light.  The best place to see this is on the sun-dappled ground beneath a leafy tree. Hundreds of circular shadows can be found there1.”

It seems that Solar Eclipses have a profound effect on the Earth’s subtle energy grids and ley lines. All powerful events that occur on Earth leave energetic memory imprints in the Earth’s energy grids. These can become amplified and perpetuated by the energy flow through the grids, which is fed by the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets overhead. Powerful negative imprints, such as war, misuse of power or emotional trauma can block or damage the energy flow in a particular region of the planet, causing the energy to become distorted.

Eclipses provides opportunities to release these negative energy imprints and enable new, positive patterns to become encoded into the Earth grids. Hamish Miller, the renowned UK dowser found that, as an Eclipse shadow passes overhead, the Earth’s subtle energy lines power down to almost nothing, becoming indiscernible to dowsing; then as the Sun’s light returns, the grids spring back into life. This is a bit like deleting an old computer programme, loading a new one, and then re-booting the system. Annular Eclipses have a very subtle effect on the energy grids, releasing, transforming and healing the etheric energy ‘blueprint’ that can enable new spiritual archetypes to emerge into collective consciousness.

The Plumed Serpent & the Rainbow Serpent
Author Robert Coon describes two major Earth energy lines, or Dragon lines, encircling the planet from east to west. These are the ‘Plumed Serpent’ or Great Male Dragon line, and the ‘Rainbow Serpent’ or Great Female Dragon line. They are like the two primary acupuncture ‘meridians’ of the global energy system, similar to the two main yang and yin acupuncture meridians in the human body – the Governor Vessel and the Conception Vessel.  Everything else in the Earth’s energy grids is fed by these two vast circulating reservoirs of spiritual life-force energies.

The path of the Annular Eclipse on 20th May will intersect the Plumed Serpent – Great Male Dragon line at two locations - Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Shasta in California. Adak Island is the pivotal point, lying almost exactly midway between these two sacred mountains, and is the nearest land to the point of maximum eclipse.

Eclipses occur when the Sun and Moon are conjunct the Moon’s North or South Node. South Node eclipses can help us release outmoded patterns, attitudes and archetypes; North Node eclipses enable new patterns and archetypes be seeded within collective consciousness.

Releasing the Past – Seeding the Future
The eclipse on 20th May is a South Node eclipse, which will release the energetic ‘thought-forms’ and patriarchal archetypes of at least the last 5,125¼ years, and probably the last 25,626 years of the Galactic Great Year. The Eclipse will release negative imprints left from the mis-aligned expression of male power in the Pacific Ocean grids, and along the entire length of the Plumed Serpent – Great Male Dragon line, as it encircles the Earth. So, it will affect the consciousness of the whole planet.
In the Pacific Ocean grids, the mis-aligned use of male power expressed itself in some of the most horrendous battles of WWII, particularly in such important energy points as Midway Island, which lies right at the very heart centre of the North Pacific grid; similarly at Iwo Jima and Hawaii itself, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The imbalances in the grid were deeply aggravated by the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And of course more recently, due to the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant.

From 1946 to 1958, the United States conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, a pivotal anchor point in the North Pacific Grid.  The total yield of the 67 tests was the equivalent of more than 7,000 Hiroshima bombs! At the Aleutians themselves, in 1969 the United States detonated a one megaton nuclear weapon at Amchitka Island – the small band of protesters who sailed out there to try to prevent this were responsible for birthing the Greenpeace environmental movement.

On a journey, with a small group of people, out to Akutan in the Aleutians in 2005, we became aware of profound levels of grief that were held within these grids. At first it appeared to be grief that resulted from human suffering, but we also had a startling experience of this grief being expressed by the Earth herself through one of the group members. Quite apart from the relatively recent abuses already mentioned, there is also the grief that has been generated by the imposition of patriarchal religious systems on indigenous peoples throughout the Pacific, who had a long tradition and profound understanding of the Earth as a sacred being.

Now it is time for the final healing of that long-held grief within these most crucial of planetary energy grids, so that the planet can begin to truly emerge into the light, after the December 21st Solstice, 2012. As the eclipse releases these old patterns, held within the grids, it will bring the possibility for seeding a new expression of male power that is fully aligned with the heart and the spiritual will, and so enable collective healing at a personal and global level. This marks the beginning of a whole new paradigm of consciousness.

The Pleiades – seeding the new consciousness
The significance of this Eclipse is further enhanced by the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon with the Pleiades. This well known cluster of stars, above Taurus, has held a significant position in world mythology throughout the Ages. To the Maya, the Pleiades represent the handful of maize seeds from which the original humans were born. These seeds are symbolically re-planted in the Earth at the beginning of each new ‘Sun’ cycle of 5,125¼ years. (Five Sun cycles complete one full precessional cycle of 25,626 years).
         
While the old patriarchal patterns of the last 5125¼ years are being released by the Eclipse, hidden behind the eclipsing Sun, the Pleiades will be planting the seeds of the new consciousness that will begin to birth the new 5125¼ year cycle, that begins after 21st December 2012, as the Solstice Sun emerges from the centre of the Galactic Equator, which the Maya perceived as the ‘womb of Creation’.

This Eclipse marks the ‘point of no return’ on our journey towards the December Solstice 2012.  The more we are each able to release emotional attachments, thoughts and ideologies that hold us back from experiencing full conscious awareness of our connection with the Oneness of all Life, the smoother the transition will be for us.  The May Eclipse brings a golden opportunity to create Right Relations in all aspects of our lives and stand fully in the power of who we truly are and what we truly believe.

MAY 20TH ALIGNMENT AND JUNE 5TH

A Rare Solar Eclipse Alignment Will Happen Between the Earth, the Sun and, our central Sun, Alcyone in the Pleiades Constellation

On May 20, 2012, a rare solar eclipse alignment will happen between the Earth, the Sun and, our central Sun, Alcyone in the Pleiades Constellation. It takes earth 26,000 years to travel around Alcyone. 


"The Pyramid of the Sun outside Mexico City at Teotihuacan is said to be aligned with the Pleiades, for its west face and many of the surrounding streets were aligned directly with the setting point of the Pleiades on midnight of the night when it is at its highest point. The Pleiades was clearly revered also by the Mayans, who in the area of Chichen Itza knew that the Sun casts a snake-like shadow on the side of the north stairway of the Kukulcan pyramid during the spring equinox. Some scholars have calculated that about 60 days after this shadow’s appearance, when the sun reaches its zenith over the Pyramid at mid-day (May 20 – May 23), there is another direct alignment with the Pleiades. This Pleiades-sun alignment may have a direct connection with Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent that came to bring a greater wisdom to the planet. 

1zlq5oy.png


The ancient Egyptians also singled out the Pleiades as a female goddess, probably most often recognized as Neith, the “divine mother”, or Hathor, who took on the form of a cow (who carried the seeds of life). Pyramidologists working in Egypt in the last twelve years have found pyramidal texts that suggest the Egyptians revered the Pleiades as a higher divine star system, especially Alcyone, its brightest star." 

What is an annular solar Eclipse 

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent diameteris smaller than the Sun, causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the Sun’s light. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region thousands of kilometres wide. 

The annular phase will be visible from the Chinese coast, the south of Japan, and the western part of the United States and Canada. Guangzhou, Tokyo and Albuquerque will be on the central path. Kanarraville, Utah will be a perfect place to view the annular phase. Its maximum will occur in the North Pacific, south of the Aleutian islands for 5 min and 46.3 s, and finish in the western United States. 

2nupv9u.jpg



It will be the first central eclipse of the 21st century in the continental USA, and also the first annular eclipse there since the solar eclipse of May 10, 1994. 

The annular solar eclipse will pass over the western United States. This video is an animated map showing the path of the eclipse over Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. 



MYTH AND PROPHECY for the Annular Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 

Nostradamus Quatrains on May Earthquake 

X 67. A mighty earthquake in the month of May.
Saturn, Capricorn, Jupiter, Mercury in Taurus: Venus also. Cancer, Mars in Nonnay (cero). Hail will fall larger than an egg. 

IX 83. Sun twentieth of Taurus the earth will tremble very mightily.
It will ruin the great heater filled:
To darken and trouble air, sky and land
Then the infidel will call upon God and saints

‘Return of the Jaquar Serpent’ – Mayan prophecy 

The Center of the Sky – The Sun and Pleiades conjunction on May 20 (current era)
A possible Kukulcan / Quetzalcoatl manifestation between (March 21 – May 20)
The Mayan lore predicts that after a global earthquake, the “new men of knowledge” will return to earth to usher in a global government (New World Order). 

Alignment on May 20, 2012: An alignment of the earth, moon, and Sun – but the Pleiades Star System also aligns simultaneously from behind the Sun at precisely the same time. 



rc4p5f.jpgCrop Circle Date May 20, 2012 

Clip from the 16th Annual International UFO Congress. Jaime Maussan giving an interpretation of a crop circle with a sign that indicate that there will be some kind of event (Mesoamerican feathered serpent “star god” diety Quetzalcoatl may possibly return) around May 20, 2012. 



Edgar Cayce’s Visions and Predictions 

In 1941, Cayce predicted that coastlines now of many a land will be the bed of the ocean. 

He warned: Watch New York, Connecticut and the like. Many portions of the east coast will be disturbed, as well as many portions of the west coast, as well as the central portion of the United States. Los Angeles, San Francisco, most of all these will be among those that will be destroyed before New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear. This will be another generation though, here; while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia, these will disappear. This will be much sooner. The waters of the Great Lakes will empty into the Gulf of Mexico. 

There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas, and there will be the shifting of the poles. Edgar Cayce’s Visions and Predictions 

Coincidental alignment of the mysterious Red X 

The center will be directly over the mysterious Google Earth RED X location supposedly leaked by NASA last year in the file named byss.arc.nasa 11133.kml. In 2011. It was also “coincidentally” the exact location of the Exercise Pacific Wave 11 tsunami drill in 2011

Barack Obama Is The First United Nations President

Saman Mohammadi
Prisonplanet.com
May 19, 2012

“In our globalist existence, the authority for the US to initiate hostilities against another country comes from the UN, declared Obama and Panetta. If the executive branch can persuade or bribe the UN to give a war OK, Congress is no longer relevant.” – Paul Craig Roberts, “Are Americans Catching On, Waking Up, Unplugging?”

President Barack Obama has continued the secret policy of destroying the sovereignty and wealth of the United States to the benefit of the private transnational interests who control the United Nations, the CIA, Wall Street, and the global banking system. Numerous American presidents, both Republican and Democrat, are on board with this treasonous political agenda.

Obama is not an “American” president; he is a United Nations president.

The criminal international banksters and secret societies behind the creation of the United Nations, and the Barack Obama icon, use fraud, usury, debt, terror, deception, propaganda, false flags, and war to get what they want out of countries. They treat all countries like third world colonies, including America. The people are plundered and destroyed, while the 


criminal elite are protected.

The election of Obama represents a massive constitutional crisis in America because he was born in Kenya, and is thus illegally holding the office of the presidency. He is the presidential equivalent of an illegal alien. It is hard to believe this is true because it is pretty wild. But no intellectually honest person can ignore the evidence and defend Obama’s claim that he was born in America. It is illogical to deny the facts and stick to illusions.

The significance of Obama’s true birthplace is monumental. The entire American experiment is being put into question. The U.S. Constitution has been thrown out. America is fully controlled by genocidal war criminals who teach young and impressionable soldiers that wiping out Islam and using nukes on Middle Eastern cities is a military solution to end the mythic “clash of civilizations,” between the West and Islam.


Obama, far from being a secret Muslim, is actually a secret CIA agentwho likes the idea of attacking Iran as much as any Neocon, Israeli, and fascist. Obama is not a peacemaker or a saint. Like the mad king of Israel, Obama is a mad psychopath who lies for a living. He worships the god of war because only war can unleash the forces of violent change and political transformation.

Obama and his masters are secretly working to cause the destruction of America, along with Israel, Iran, and other nations in the Middle East. Obama does not desire peace with Iran, but an epic and total warthat will culminate in the establishment of a world authoritarian state with U.S. military power to back it up.


In September 2009, Obama became, “the first-ever U.S. president to chair the United Nations’ 15-member Security Council,” (Source: NBC Chicago). That was only the beginning. Obama is probably being primed to be the first United Nations president, since he is obviously not a legitimate and legal American president.

The fraudulent elections of Bush and Obama signaled the destruction of America. Bush’s elections were fraudulent because they were stolen, and Obama’s election was fraudulent because he was born in Kenya, not America.


Both the American presidency and the Congress have been destroyed. These institutions are dead. The plan of the globalist fascists is to completely destroy America as an independent political unit with its own national constitution and destiny.

The 1913 Federal Reserve Act destroyed America’s financial independence, so the subversion and destruction of America from within has been a century-long effort by the Anglo-American oligarchy. Secrecy, totalitarian deception, and terrorism are their three main weapons. The treasonous American media has been their biggest ally in their silent war on the American Constitution and the American people.


Infowars.com points out that Obama was a British subject at the time of his birth. I guess this is the British Empire’s way of getting back at the rebellious American people for defeating the British army in the 18th century and creating a free and independent government.

But Obama is more than a joke. Obama is like a political virus who is attacking the U.S. national nervous system and destabilizing the natural defenses of the body politic. Obama kills silently, in the night, when everybody is asleep and dreaming.

Since he came into office, Obama has done nothing to better the lives of the American people and improve the American nation. Even if he wanted to help the American people and make America better, he would be stopped by his masters because, as Alex Jones says in this video, he is compromised.


Obama is blackmailable from head to toe. The enemies of America, both foreign (Israel) and domestic (Wall Street banksters, criminal multinational corporations, political opponents), love the fact that Obama is in the White House.

The mythic fairytale about the Osama Bin Laden killing was intended to make the public believe that Obama is in charge and he is a great war leader. But Obama takes orders, he doesn’t give them. There would be no difference if a slave or a robot was in the White House instead of Obama. Obama is worse than a robot and a slave. He is a psychopathic liar and killer who loves death and destruction.

JPM’s CIO Loss Widens to $5 Billion?

Full-Banner1.jpg

Last weekend we advised SD readers that our sources had informed us that JPMorgan’s derivatives losses sustained by their CIO desk were actually $100 Billion, not the $2 Billion admitted by Jamie Dimon to investors.
Well, one week later, the MSM (WSJ) is now reporting that JPM’s CIO has now lost $5 billion.

Perhaps more interesting, the WSJ states that Jamie Dimon personally approved the delta-hedging of its interest rate swaps positions which has resulted in the FUBAR derivatives losses for JPM.

So lets get this straight.  The Big Cahuna who approved the strategy gets a $23 million bonus, and reappointed as CEO by shareholders, while Iksil and boss Achilles who implemented the trade for Dimon get shown the door and have The Morgue attempt to claw-back their bonuses?

 

The US mega-bank JPMorgan Chase & Co loss from derivatives trading may widen to 5 billion dollars, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. CEO Jamie Dimon personally approved the strategy that led to the trades, without monitoring how they were executed, the newspaper said.

JPMorgan last week announced a 2 billion dollars trading loss on synthetic credit products, or derivatives tied to credit performance. Dimon said the transactions, intended to manage risk, were “egregious” failures by the bank’s chief investment office. JPMorgan has said the amount could increase by 1 billion or more as it winds down the positions.

Joseph Evangelisti, a spokesman for New York-based JPMorgan, declined to comment on the 5 billion dollar estimate. 

The largest US lender by assets didn’t have a treasurer during the five months when the trades took place, the Journal reported in a separate article.

JPMorgan’s chief investment office oversees about 360 billion dollars, or the difference between deposits and what the bank lends. Matt Zames, who was appointed to lead the division after the loss was reported, shook up leadership and announced a “renewed focus” on hedging risks.

Unrestrained Stimulus and Draconian Austerity: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Washington’s Blog
May 18, 2012

Liberal economists and financial wonks say that we need to stimulate more to avoid falling back into an economic abyss.

Conservative economists and financial gurus say that we need to tighten our belts and live within our means, or the tsunami of debt will wipe out our prosperity, and that of our children and grandchildren.

We’ve repeatedly noted that neither stimulus or austerity can ever work … unless and until the basic problems with the economy are fixed.

But stimulus and austerity are not only insufficient … they are actually 2 sides of the same coin.

Specifically, the central banks’ central bank warned in 2008 that bailouts of the big banks would create sovereign debt crises. That is exactly what has happened.

Remember, it is not the people or Main Street who are getting bailed out … it is the giant banks.

A study of 124 banking crises by the International Monetary Fund found that propping up banks which are only pretending to be solvent hurts the economy:

Existing empirical research has shown that providing assistance to banks and their borrowers can be counterproductive, resulting in increased losses to banks, which often abuse forbearance to take unproductive risks at government expense. The typical result of forbearance is a deeper hole in the net worth of banks, crippling tax burdens to finance bank bailouts, and even more severe credit supply contraction and economic decline than would have occurred in the absence of forbearance.

Cross-country analysis to date also shows that accommodative policy measures (such as substantial liquidity support, explicit government guarantee on financial institutions’ liabilities and forbearance from prudential regulations) tend to be fiscally costly and that these particular policies do not necessarily accelerate the speed of economic recovery.

***

All too often, central banks privilege stability over cost in the heat of the containment phase: if so, they may too liberally extend loans to an illiquid bank which is almost certain to prove insolvent anyway. Also, closure of a nonviable bank is often delayed for too long, even when there are clear signs of insolvency (Lindgren, 2003). Since bank closures face many obstacles, there is a tendency to rely instead on blanket government guarantees which, if the government’s fiscal and political position makes them credible, can work albeit at the cost of placing the burden on the budget, typically squeezing future provision of needed public services.

In other words, the “stimulus” to the banks blows up the budget, “squeezing” public services through austerity.

But instead of throwing trillions at the big banks, we could give some stimulus to Main Street. It wouldwork much better at stimulating the economy.

And instead of imposing draconian austerity, we could stop handouts to the big banks, stop getting into imperial military adventures and stop incurring unnecessary interest costs (and see this).  This would be better for the economy as well.

Why aren’t we doing this?

Underneath the false left-versus-right puppet show, this is not a financial crisis … it’s a bank robbery.

As we wrote last year:

Economists note:

A substantial portion of the profits of the largest banks is essentially a redistribution from taxpayers to the banks, rather than the outcome of market transactions.

Indeed, all of the monetary and economic policy of the last 3 years has helped the wealthiest and penalized everyone else. See thisthis and this.

A “jobless recovery” is basically a redistribution of wealth from the little guy to the big boys.

***

Economist Steve Keen says:

“This is the biggest transfer of wealth in history”, as the giant banks have handed their toxic debts from fraudulent activities to the countries and their people.

Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz said in 2009 that Geithner’s toxic asset plan “amounts to robbery of the American people”.

And economist Dean Baker said in 2009 that the true purpose of the bank rescue plans is “a massive redistribution of wealth to the bank shareholders and their top executives”.

The money of individuals, businesses, cities, states and entire nations are disappearing into the abyss …

… and ending up in the pockets of the [super-elite].

Passionate liberal Keynesians and committed fiscal conservatives might both want to guard against being manipulated into seeing only part of the picture. If the powers-that-be are manipulating the game so that they get the stimulus the little guy gets the austerity, then neither stimulus or austerity as currently being implemented are for the greater good.

Evidence Obama Born In Kenya Goes Beyond 1991 Brochure

Establishment media pulls stunt in effort to diffuse ‘birther’ controversy

Paul Joseph Watson
Friday, May 18, 2012

The establishment media hastily seized on yesterday’s explosive story about a literary publication listing Barack Obama’s birthplace as Kenya in an effort to claim that the 1991 brochure was the “origin” of the entire ‘birther’ issue. In reality, evidence that Obama was born in the African country is abundant.

Evidence Obama Born In Kenya Goes Beyond 1991 Brochure 55251218 1252280190 tu chuc 2

A literary agent’s promotional text for a 1991 brochurereleased yesterday by Breitbart.com states Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Yahoo News, along with a deluge of other mainstream news outlets, responded by reporting that the document was potentially the “source” of the birther controversy and had merely been a mistake.

The literary agent who wrote the description, Miriam Goderich, now works with Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its clients. Unsurprising therefore that Goderich hastily claimed listing Obama’s birthplace as Kenya was “nothing more than a fact checking error.”

However, evidence to indicate that Obama war born in Kenya is plentiful and it goes significantly beyond the 1991 version of the brochure.

- Despite claiming the passage about Obama’s birthplace being Kenya was a mistake, the listing still maintained that Obama’s birthplace was Kenya until after Obama became a U.S. Senator. “Goderich’s statement fails to explain why the “fact checking error” persisted for sixteen years, through at least three different versions of Jane Dystel’s website, and through at least four different versions of Obama’s biography,” reports Breitbart.com.

- The literary agency also updated the text in June 1998, but the part about Obama being born in Kenya was retained.

- The text was again updated in February 2005 to reflect the fact that Obama had become a Senator, but Kenya was still listed as his birthplace.

- After an April 2007 modification of the text, the passage still read Obama, “was born in Kenya.”

As Steve Boman reveals, the Dystel & Goderich agency asks its clients to submit their own biography, meaning it’s virtually impossible the listing of Obama’s birthplace as Kenya could have been a “fact checking error” on behalf of the literary company itself.

- During a speech about HIV, First Lady Michelle Obama said she and Barack Obama “visited his home country of Kenya.” Watch the clip below.

- In 2008, Obama’s paternal step grandmother appeared to indicate publicly that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. In an interview conducted by American Christian minister Ron McRae, Sarah Obama was asked, ‘Were you present when your grandson was born in Kenya?’” McRae testified in his sworn statement. “This was asked to her in translation twice, and both times she replied, “Yes! Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born.”

- Another source who met Sarah Obama told World Net Daily, “I have keenly and attentively listened to the tape over and over again, and I can confirm from Sarah’s own confession that Barack Obama was born in Kenya in her presence.”

- A separate Kenyan government official agreed, stating, “I have listened to the tape. The preacher asked whether Barack Obama was born in Mombassa, and the translator asked the same. When she said Mombassa, it was like a surprise, and those there thought she could not have meant to say Mombassa.”

- When New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya to investigate the claims, he was almost immediately kicked out of the country by Kenyan officials.

- When Kenya’s National Security Intelligence Service investigated claims that Obama was born in Kenya, officials in Nairobi found “relevant birth records may have been removed or were missing.”

- Obama has deep political connections in Kenya. From 2006 onwards he rallied in support of Islamist Raila Odinga in Kenya, helping him impose Sharia law. When Odinga lost the Kenyan election in 2008, his supporters rioted, unleashing a wave of violence. Despite the bloodshed, Obama used his influence to aid Odinga in retaining his position as part of a coalition government.

For the mainstream media to imply that the 1991 brochure is the “source” of the claim that Obama was born in Kenya is completely inaccurate. Not only was that brochure updated many times right up until 2007, with the information about Obama’s birthplace being Kenya retained, but there are numerous other factors which all indicate that Kenya could indeed be Obama’s homeland.

How The U.S. Dollar Will Be Replaced

Brandon Smith
Alt-Market
Thursday, May 17, 2012

After being immersed in the world of alternative economic analysis for several years, it sometimes becomes easy to forget that most people do not track forex markets, or debt to GDP ratio, or true unemployment, or hunch over IMF white-papers highlighting subsections which expose the trappings of the globalist ideology.  Sometimes, you just assume the average person knows what the heck you are talking about.  This is, of course, a mistake.  However, it is a mistake that is borne from the inadequacy of our age and our culture, and is not necessarily a product of weak character, either of the analyst, or the casual reader.


The great frustration of being actively involved in the Liberty Movement is the fact that many people are rarely on the same page (or even the same book) during political and economic discussion.  Where we see the nature of the false left/right paradigm, they see “free democracy”.  Where we see a tidal wave of destructive debt, they see a “responsible government” printing and spending in order to protect our “best interests”.  Where we see totalitarianism, they see “safety”.  Where we see dollar devaluation, they see dollar strength and longevity.  Ultimately, because the average unaware citizen is stricken by the disease of normalcy bias and living within the doldrums of a statistical fantasy world, they simply have no point of reference by which to grasp the truth when exposed to it.  It’s like trying to explain the concept of ‘color’ to a man who has been blind since birth.


Americans in particular are prone to reactionary dismissal when exposed to facts that disrupt their misconceptions.  Our culture has experienced a particularly prosperous age, not necessarily free from all trouble, but generally spared from widespread mass tragedy for a generous length of time.  This tends to breed within societies an overt and unreasonable expectation of ease.  It generates apathy, and laziness.  A crushing blubberous slothful cynicism subservient to the establishment and the status quo.  Even the most striking of truths struggle to penetrate this smoky forcefield of duplicitous funk.


In recent articles, I have outlined the very immediate dangers of several potential economic events that are likely to take place this year, including the exit of peripheral countries from the European Union, the conflict between austerity and socialist spending in France and Germany, the developing bilateral trade agreements between China and numerous other countries which cut out their reliance on the U.S. dollar, and the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will announce QE3 before the end of 2012.  All of these elements are leading in one very particular direction:  the end of the Greenback as the world reserve currency.

In response to these assertions I have received letters from some people (some of them indignant) questioning how it would be even remotely possible that the dollar could be replaced at all.  The concept is so outside their narrow world view that many cannot fathom it.

To be sure, the question is a viable one.  How could the dollar be unseated?  That said, a few hours of light research would easily produce the answer, but this tends to be too much work for the fly-by-night financial skeptic.  Sometimes, the job of the alternative analyst is to make the obvious even more obvious.

So, let’s begin…

The Dollar A Safe Haven?

This ongoing lunacy is based on multiple biases.  For some, the dollar represents America, and a collapse of the currency would suggest a failure of the republic, and thus, a failure by them as individual Americans who live vicariously through the exploits of their government.  By extension, it becomes “patriotic” to defend the dollar’s honor and deny any information that might suggest it is on a downward spiral.

Others see how the investment world clings to the dollar as a kind of panic room; a protected place where one’s saving will be insulated from crisis.  However, just because a majority of day trading investors are gullible enough to overlook the Greenback’s pitfalls does not mean those dangerous weaknesses disappear.

There is only one factor that shields the dollar from implosion, and that is its position as the world reserve currency.  Without this exalted status, the currency’s value vanishes.  Backed by nothing but massive and unpayable debt, it sits frighteningly idle, like a time bomb, waiting for the moment of ignition.

The horrifying nature of the dollar is that it is only valuable so long as foreign investors believe that we will pay back the considerable debts that we (the American taxpayer at the behest of our criminally run Treasury) owe, and that we will not hyperinflate in the process.  If they EVER begin to see their purchases of dollars and treasuries as a gamble instead of an investment, the façade falls away.  Yet again this year Congress and the Executive Branch are “at odds” over the expansion of the debt ceiling, which has been raised to levels beyond the 100% of GDP mark:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/us/politics/obama-presses-congress-to-act-on-his-priorities.html

Barack Obama has made claims that increases in the debt ceiling are “normal”, and that most presidents are prone to hiking the barrier every once in a while.  Yet, back in 2006, when George W. Bush increased debt limits, Obama had this to say:

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills…Instead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next five years…Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

For once, Barack and I agree on something.  Too bad the man changes his rhetoric whenever it’s to his advantage.

Today, Obama now asserts that raising the debt ceiling is not an opening for more government spending, but an allowance for the government to pay bills it has already accrued.  This is disingenuous and hypocritical prattle.  Obama is well aware as are many in Congress that as long as the Federal Government is able to raise the debt ceiling whenever it suits them, they can increase spending with wild abandon.  It’s like handing someone a credit card with no maximum limit.  For most men, the temptation would be irresistible.  Therefore, one can predict with 100% certainty that U.S. spending will never truly be reduced, and that our national debt will mount in tandem until we self destruct.


How has this trend been able to continue for so long?  Our private central bank has created the fiat machine by which all economic depravity is possible.  Currently, the Federal Reserve is the number one holder of U.S. debt.  The Federal Reserve creates its own capital.  It prints its wealth from thin air.  The dollar, thus, has become its own lynchpin.  The secretive institution which has never been subject to a full audit is now monetizing endless debt mechanisms with paper promises.  What value would any intelligent investor put on such a fraudulent economic system?

The epic dysfunction of the dollar is rooted in its reliance on perception rather than tangible wealth or strong fundamentals.  It is, indeed, like any other fiat unit, with all the inevitable pitfalls built into its structure.

Ironically, the value of the Dollar Index is measured not by its intrinsic buying power, or its historical buying power, but its arbitrary buying power in comparison with other collapsing fiat currencies.

The argument I hear most often when pointing out the calamitous path of the dollar is that it is the go-to safe haven in response to the crisis in Europe.  What the financially inept don’t seem to grasp is that the shifting of savings back and forth between the euro and the dollar is just as irrelevant to our currency’s survival as it is to Europe’s.  BOTH currencies are in decline, and this is evident by the growing inflationary pressures on both sides of the Atlantic.  Ask any consumer in Greece, Spain, France, or the UK how shelf prices have changed in the past four years, and they will say the exact same thing as any consumer in the U.S.; costs have gone way up.  Therefore, it makes sense to compare the dollar’s value not to the euro, or to the Yen, but something more practical, like the dollar of the past….


In 1972, just as Nixon was removing the dollar from the last vestiges of the gold standard, a new car cost an average of $4500.  A home cost around $40,000.  A gallon of gas was .36 cents.  A loaf of bread was .25 cents.  A visit to the doctor’s office was $25.  Wages were certainly lower, but they kept much better pace with the prices of the era.  Today, the gap between wages and inflation is insurmountable.  The average family is unable to keep up with the flashflood of rising prices.

According to the historic buying power of the dollar, the currency is a poor safe haven investment.  With the advent of bailout efforts and debt monetization through quantitative easing, its devaluation has been expedited dramatically.  The Fed has left the door open for what I believe will be a final destructive round of publicly announced QE, weakening the dollar to near death:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/16/us-usa-fed-idUSBRE84F12320120516

The question then arises; why do foreign countries continue to buy in on the greenback?

The Dollar Dump Has Already Begun

One of my favorite arguments by those defending the dollar is the assertion that no foreign country would dare to dump the currency because they are all too dependent on U.S. trade.  To answer the question above, the reality is that foreign countries ARE already calmly and quietly dumping the dollar as a global trade instrument.


To those people who consistently claim that the dollar will never be dropped, my response is, it already has been dropped!  China, in tandem with other BRIC nations, has been covertly removing the greenback as the primary trade unit through bilateral deals since 2010.  First with Russia, and now with the whole of the ASEAN trading bloc and numerous other markets, including Japan.  China in particular has been preparing for this eventuality since 2005, when they introduced the first Yuan denominated bonds.  The bonds were considered a strange novelty back then, especially because China had so much surplus savings that it seemed outlandish for them to take on treasury debt.  Today, the move makes a whole lot more sense.  China and the BRIC nations today openly call for a worldwide shift away from the dollar:

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/indepth/2011-08/06/c_131032986.htm

With the global proliferation of the Yuan, and the conversion of the Chinese economy away from dependence on exports (especially to the West) towards a more consumer based system, the Chinese have effectively decoupled from their reliance on U.S. markets.  Would a collapse in the U.S. hurt China’s economy?  Yes.  Would they still survive?  Oh yes.  Far better than America would, at least…

In 2008, I warned of this development and was attacked on all sides by more mainstream economists and Keynesian proponents who stated that such a development was impossible.  Today, it’s common knowledge that our primary creditors are “diversifying” away from the dollar, though MSM talking heads and those who parrot them still claim that this is not a threat to our economy.

To be clear, the true threat to the dollar’s supremacy is not only due to the constant printing by the private Federal Reserve (though that is a nightmare in the making), but the loss of faith in our currency as a whole.  The Fed does not need to throw dollars from helicopters to annihilate our currency; all they have to do is create doubt in its viability.

The bottom line?  A dollar collapse is not “theory” but undeniable fact in motion at this moment, driven by concrete actions on the part of the very nations that have until recently propped up our debt obligations.  It is only a matter of time before the dollar diminishes and fades away.  All signs point to a loss of reserve status in the near term.

What Will Replace The Dollar?

My next favorite argument in defense of the Greenback is the assertion that there is “no currency in a position to take the dollar’s place if it falls”.  First of all, this is based on a very naïve assumption that the dollar will not fall unless there is another currency to replace it.  I’m not sure who made that rule up, but the dollar is perfectly able to be flushed without a replacement in the wings.  Economic collapse does not follow logical guidelines or the personal pet peeves of random man-child economists.

Though, to be fair, and to educate those unaware, there IS a replacement already conveniently ready to roll forward.  The IMF has for a couple of years now openly called for the retirement of the dollar as the world reserve currency, to be supplanted by the elitist organization’s very own “Special Drawing Rights” (SDR’s):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/feb/10/imf-boss-calls-for-world-currency

The SDR is a paper mechanism created in the early 1970’s to replace gold as the primary means of international trade between foreign governments.  Today, it has morphed into a basket of currencies which is recognized by almost every country in the world and is in a prime position to take the dollar’s place in the event that it loses reserve status.  This is not theory.  This is cold hard reality.  For those who claim that the SDR is not considered a “real currency”, they should probably warn the U.S. Post Office, which now uses conversion tables that denominate costs in SDR’s:

http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immc3_007.htm

So, now that we know a replacement for the dollar is ready to go, the next obvious question would be:

Why would global elites destroy a useful monetary tool like the dollar?  Why kill the goose that “lays the golden eggs”?

People who ask this question are simply unable to see outside the fiscal box they have been placed in.  For global bankers, a paper currency is not important.  It is expendable. Like a layer of snake skin; as the snake grows, it sheds the old and dawns the new.


At bottom, men who promote the philosophies of globalization greatly desire the exaltation of a global currency.  The dollar, though a creation of a central bank, is still a semi-sovereign monetary unit.  It is an element that is getting in the way of the application of the global currency dynamic.  I find it rather convenient (at least for those who subscribe too globalism) that the dollar is now in the midst of a perfect storm of decline just as the IMF is ready to introduce its latest fiat concoction in the form of the SDR.  I find the blind faith in the dollar’s lifespan to be rife with delusion.  It is not a matter of opinion or desire, but a matter of fact that currencies in such tenuous positions fall, and are in the end replaced.   I believe that the evidence shows that this is not random chance, but a deliberate process, leading towards the globalist ideal; total centralization of the world under an unaccountable governing body which operates a global monetary system utterly devoid of transparency and responsibility.


The dollar was a median step towards a newer and more corrupt ideal.  Its time is nearly over.  This is open, it is admitted, and it is being activated as you read this.  The speed at which this disaster occurs is really dependent on the speed at which our government along with our central bank decides to expedite doubt.  Doubt in a currency is a furious omen, costing not just investors, but an entire society.  America is at the very edge of such a moment.  The naysayers can scratch and bark all they like, but the financial life of a country serves no person’s emphatic hope.  It burns like a fire.  Left unwatched and unchecked, it grows uncontrollable and wild, until finally, there is nothing left to fuel its hunger, and it finally chokes in a haze of confusion and dread…

THE VETTING - EXCLUSIVE - OBAMA'S LITERARY AGENT IN 1991 BOOKLET: 'BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII'


 11 hours ago 3701 POST A COMMENT

Note from Senior Management:

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.

It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.

It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below--one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review

It is evidence--not of the President's foreign origin, but that Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.

***

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii." 

The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel. 

It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):

Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.  The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation.   He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.

The booklet, which is thirty-six pages long, is printed in blue ink (and, on the cover, silver/grey ink), using offset lithography. It purports to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Acton & Dystel, which was founded in 1976.

Jay Acton no longer represents Obama. However, Jane Dystel stilllists Obama as a client on her agency's website.

According to the booklet itself, the text was edited by Miriam Goderich, who has since become Dystel's partner at Dystel & Goderich, an agency founded in 1994. Breitbart News attempted to reach Goderich by telephone several times over several days. Her calls are screened by an automated service that requires callers to state their name and company, which we did. She never answered.

The design of the booklet was undertaken by Richard Bellsey, who has since closed his business. Bellsey, reached by telephone, could not recall the exact details of the booklet, but told Breitbart News that it "sounds like one of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel] twenty years ago or more."

The parade of authors alongside Obama in the booklet includes politicians, such as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill; sports legends, such as Joe Montana and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; and numerous Hollywood celebrities. 

The reverse side of the page that features Barack Obama includes former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and early-1990s "boy band" pop sensation New Kids On the Block.

Acton, who spoke to Breitbart News by telephone, confirmed precise details of the booklet and said that it cost the agency tens of thousands of dollars to produce. 

He indicated that while "almost nobody" wrote his or her own biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom "the agents deal[t] with on a daily basis," were "probably" approached to approve the text as presented.

Dystel did not respond to numerous requests for comment, via email and telephone. Her assistant told Breitbart News that Dystel "does not answer questions about Obama."

The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not contradict the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Moreover, several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.

The biography does, however, fit a pattern in which Obama--or the people representing and supporting him--manipulate his public persona.

David Maraniss's forthcoming biography of Obama has reportedly confirmed, for example, that a girlfriend Obama described in Dreams from My Father was, in fact, an amalgam of several separate individuals. 

In addition, Obama and his handlers have a history of redefining his identity when expedient. In March 2008, for example, he famouslydeclared: "I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother." 

Several weeks later, Obama left Wright's church--and, according to Edward Klein's new biography, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, allegedly attempted to persuade Wright not to "do any more public speaking until after the November [2008] election" (51).

Obama has been known frequently to fictionalize aspects of his own life. During his 2008 campaign, for instance, Obama claimed that his dying mother had fought with insurance companies over coverage for her cancer treatments. 

That turned out to be untrue, but Obama has repeated the story--which even the Washington Post called "misleading"--in a campaign video for the 2012 election.

The Acton & Dystel biography could also reflect how Obama was seen by his associates, or transitions in his own identity. He is said, for instance, to have cultivated an "international" identity until well into his adulthood, according to Maraniss.

Regardless of the reason for Obama's odd biography, the Acton & Dystel booklet raises new questions as part of ongoing efforts to understand Barack Obama--who, despite four years in office remains a mystery to many Americans, thanks to the mainstream media.
