The Twisted Thinking behind World Government

September 24, 2009
The battle for freedom is raging on all levels. Consider Glenn Beck. Here’s some rotten fruit that fell out of the apple-basket to appease conservatives. Keith Olbermann, on his side of the playing field, covers the liberal part of the paradigm. Notice how careful they are to remain inside their respective boundaries, ignoring true arguments that care nothing for ‘isms’ but a great deal for freedom. As these respective characters speak directly to the big chunk of the mesmerized people, glued to the television screen, there is also a more subtle- but no less crucial- battle going on in the halls of academia.

| Glenn Beck: rotten fruit that fell out of the apple-basket to appease conservatives. | |
As history exhaustively shows, any idea can be theoretically legitimized with the help of equations, calculations and otherwise cleverly devised systems of thought. But, as a famous writer once stated, ‘cleverness is for the dwarfs’. It is wisdom that is lacking from most academics and their writings, not to mention modesty and an open mind. In the beginning of the 20th century for example, eugenicists would work to legitimize their arguments with all kinds of semi-scientific serpentines. As a matter of practise it was not uncommon that a person’s skull would be measured with a ruler at birth to ‘determine’ if he or she would be prone to criminal activities in later life. Although widely rejected as devious quackery, eugenics has since found new ways to sell depopulation to the masses, the most prominent of which, of course, is environmentalism as a pretext to do away with 80 percent of the world population- or so the elite state on a regular basis.
It was only a matter of time, of course, before the full weight of academia was put behind the idea of world government- as it had done so passionately for the manmade global warming contrivance not long before. A mere ideological blueprint would not suffice for its purposes. In addition, the concept of world government would have to be shrouded under a thick cloud of sparking scholarship. And University of Chicago’s Alexander Wendt was the man designated to stamp on the fire.
In 2003, Wendt witch-crafted a philosophical monstrosity under the header “Why a World State is Inevitable: teleology and the logic of anarchy”. Carefully avoiding any moral implications clinging to his manuscript, Wendt argues the case for world government as the necessary and inevitable end result of the current merging of nation-states into ever-larger bodies of influence.
“(…) this article argues that a global monopoly on the legitimate use of violence- a world state- is inevitable.”
It is not a new concept, the idea that the large emerges from the small, rising in the steadiest of lines upward in time. This idea accommodates our most intimate fancies about time, evolution and progression. The mind, after all, tends to construct scientific parameters around the immeasurable vastness of the universe in order to encapsulate infinity. It also watches nature and then, one on one, projects it to political systems. Real science, on the other hand, does not only propose and hypothesizes, it tears down and rejects. Ideas that are held in high standing at one time are mercilessly thrown in the trashcan the next. And out of knowledge gathered, sometimes a rare Amarillo flower unfolds in the sun. Such is the way of it. But Alexander Wendt cares not for accuracy, as he pancakes hypothesis upon hypothesis to prove his position, that a world state is inevitable. But it is a false understanding, manufactured by a biased predisposition: both time and space have stunningly little regard for our fancies, phasing- as they do- in and out of our grasp as quickly as you can say ‘fallacy’. History, it seems, does not support Wendt’s argument.
After the Roman Empire had collapsed, other, smaller kingdoms emerged out of its ruins. This goes for the Greeks, the Babylonians, and almost every other system with imperial designs. The Egyptian kingdom, once a vast and powerful culture, grew to be just a shadow of its former self at the beginning of our calendar. Charlemagne established the great Frankish empire only to unwittingly lay the groundwork for the establishing of sovereign states, like Germany and France. We have only to study history in order to counter the mythology of a gradual evolution towards a one world system. There is no evidence supporting an historic, chronological pattern of progression from the small to the great. More often than not it is the other way around, for excessive power tends to provoke resistance.
Without boring you with the details of Wendt’s elucidation let it suffice that Wendt invokes many of the major philosophers in order to add credibility and substance to the concept of the inevitability of a world state emerging out of the ruins of national sovereignty. After parading big names to invigorate his “big idea”, the author finally departs from a neo-Darwinian predisposition and the self-organizing principles included in it. In the struggle of nation-states, Wendt concludes, there can be no other outcome than the formation of a world state to settle all scores. He forgets to mention that neo-Darwinism can just as easily be applied to the idea that life organizes itself into more complexity as it evolves. But Wendt pays no heed: he raises his finger in foreboding: the greatest threat on the path to world government, he states, is national sovereignty. Wendt:
“Rather than go down with the ship of national sovereignty, states should try to “get the best deal” they can in the emerging global constitution.”
After identifying the main enemy to world dictatorship, he then proposes to co-opt the natural drive towards auto-determination in order to bring about his desired world state.
“Nationalist struggles for recognition are by no means over, and more new states- “more anarchy”- may yet be created. But while further fragmentation is in one sense a step back, it is also a precondition for moving forward, since it is only when difference is recognized that a larger identity can be stable. (…) Far from suppressing nationalism, a world state will only be possible if it embraces it.”
Everyone dedicated to fight the push for world dictatorship should wash their ears well with this statement. For the New World Order will pull out all the stops, including flirting with national sovereignty, courting true libertarianism and align itself with any and every grassroots movement springing up out of the soil. The anti-venom is education, education and some more education. The more people aware of the idea of world government and the devices with which it means to consolidate power, the harder it becomes for the globalists to push ahead with their plan.

President Barack Obama said tougher financial regulations are needed worldwide to protect consumers, provide economic stability and prevent future crises.
With the leaders from the Group of 20 nations set to meet next week in Pittsburgh, Obama said in his weekly address on the radio and Internet that international cooperation has “stopped our economic freefall.”
“We know we still have a lot to do, in conjunction with nations around the world, to strengthen the rules governing financial markets and ensure that we never again find ourselves in the precarious situation we found ourselves in just one year ago,” Obama said.
The administration has proposed an overhaul of U.S. financial regulations including oversight of the systemic risk large financial institutions pose to the economy, new ways for the government to dismantle failed companies and a regulator to oversee financial products for consumers.

Troops train with Army and Air Force for G20 Summit as part of martial law acclimation
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
As military-run internal checkpoints rapidly multiply across the United States and the country sinks into a state of de facto martial law, it has been announced that no less than 2,500 National Guard troops will work with Army and Air Force personnel to undertake “crowd control” duties during the upcoming G20 Summit in Pittsburgh.
As we reported earlier today, uniformed soldiers are being deployed all over the country to fulfil roles normally ascribed to police as Americans are incrementally conditioned that men in cammo with machine guns will now provide “security” in the new Amerika.
Part of that “security” includes dealing with civil unrest and crowd control, a role also being undertaken by the 20,000 battle hardened troops that are being redeployed inside America under Northcom after returning from Iraq. In the meantime, the Pentagon is attempting to station a further 379,000 active duty troops inside the U.S., a plan being fiercely opposed by the National Governors Association.
That’s also a role being performed by the Pittsburgh National Guard, along with the Army and the Air Force in preparation for the G20 Summit which gets underway tomorrow.
More than 2,500 Guardsmen have been called up for “Operation Steel Kickoff,” the description of which by the DefenseLink website sounds more like a military assault than an act of peacekeeping.
“Operation Steel Kickoff started Sept. 20 with a joint reception, staging, onward movement and integration point process led by the Guard’s 213th Area Support Group, which is working out of a hangar at the 171st Air Refueling Wing in Coraopolis, Pa.,” reports DefenseLink.
“We’re the support role, helping the soldiers and airmen get out and do the things they need to do,” said Army 1st Lt. Matthew Springer, the team leader for Operation Steel Kickoff’s JRSOI process. “Our focus is on ensuring the war fighter is getting the things they need to be successful in their mission.”
The Guardsmen’s “mission” as those involved term it, will be to work with the Army and Air Force to “help local, state and federal authorities keep Pittsburgh safe as demonstrators take to the streets in protest of the worldwide economic summit”. Troops are training to perform, “movement techniques, formations and crowd and riot control.”
“We’re working hard right now because we have Army and Air Force members who haven’t trained together before,” said Army Sgt. 1st Class Ronald Bittner, a platoon leader from 1/110th, D Company. “We are working to mesh, because we all take a lot of pride in this mission.”
“This is definitely a different mission,” said Air Force Master Sgt. Pauline Gonzalez, a 23-year veteran and personnel specialist with the 211th Engineering Installation Squadron. “It’s very hard and very challenging, but it’s been a rewarding experience.”
The fact that soldiers see it as a “rewarding experience” to completely violate the oath that they swore by undertaking duties totally at odds with Posse Comitatus, the law that bars the military from engaging in law enforcement duties, is a damning indictment of how far the specter of troops on the streets has seeped into everyday life in America.
Claims that the troops are merely there to “make sure the citizens are protected” do not correlate with the fact that the entire scope of their mission is to intimidate and oppress peaceful protesters. Military weapons used in Iraq are now being turned on the American people. Tea Party protesters in San Diego were recently targeted with Long-range acoustic devices [LRADs], a torture device used to control insurgents that can cause serious and lasting health problems. LRADs are now a routine fixture at all major demonstrations and now it seems as small local protests too as the entire apparatus of Homeland Security and the war on terror is shifted to focus on Americans who dare attempt to exercise their rights.

Secret White House letter to G-20

| Despite Bernanke’s happy-talk, the labor market will continue to suffer in the coming months.” What the hell is Bernanke smoking? | |
I still get a thrill whenever I get my hands on a confidential memo with “The White House, Washington” on the letterhead. Even when–like the one I’m looking at now–it’s about a snoozy topic: This week’s G-20 summit.
But the letter’s content shook me awake and may keep me up the rest of the night.
The 6-page letter from the White House, dated September 3, was sent to the 20 heads of state that will meet this Thursday in Pittsburgh. After some initial diplo-blather, our President’s “sherpa” for the summit, Michael Froman, does a little victory dance, announcing that the recession has been defeated. “Global equity markets have risen 35 percent since the end of March,” writes Froman. In other words, the stock market is up and all’s well.
While acknowledging that this year’s economy has gone to hell in a handbag, Obama’s aide and ambassador to the G-20 seems to be parroting the irrational exuberance of Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke who declared last week that, “The recession is very likely over.” All that was missing from Bernanke’s statement was a banner, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.”
And the French are furious. The White House letter to the G-20 leaders was a response to a confidential diplomatic missive from the chief of the European Union Fredrik Reinfeldt written a day earlier to “Monsieur le Président” Obama.
We have Reinfeldt’s confidential note as well. In it, the EU president says, despite Bernanke’s happy-talk, “la crise n’est pas terminée (the crisis is not over) and (continuing in translation) the labor market will continue to suffer the consequences of weak use of capacity and production in the coming months.” This is diplomatic speak for, What the hell is Bernanke smoking?
May I remind you Monsieur le Président, that last month 216,000 Americans lost their jobs, bringing the total lost since your inauguration to about seven million? And rising.

September 24, 2009
He said G20 leaders would meet regularly, with South Korea taking over the presidency next year.
“The G20 will take a bigger role in economic cooperation than the G8 has in the past,” Brown told reporters ahead of this week’s meeting of G20 leaders in Pittsburgh.
Brown said Shriti Vadera will leave her role as business minister to become Britain’s G20 coordinator and work closely with South Korea.
Trade minister Mervyn Davies will take over Vadera’s ministerial responsibilities.

Britain aligns with US as Germany and France dig in over bonuses for bankers
Tuesday, 22 September 2009
America and Europe are edging towards a compromise plan to rein in bankers' bonuses at a summit of the world's 20 leading economies in Pittsburgh later this week.
The build-up to the G20 meeting has been marred by differences between European countries, led by France and Germany – who want tough action to outlaw the huge bonus payments which contributed to the financial crisis – and America, which has been reluctant to go that far. Britain has sided with the US in opposing the French President Nicolas Sarkozy's call for a cap on payments to individual bankers.
Senior British Government sources stressed yesterday that differences remained but they are increasingly optimistic that a deal can be struck. It is likely to involve regulatory bodies such as Britain's Financial Services Authority "auditing" banks and, where necessary, ordering them to pay less in bonuses and salaries so they can build up their reserve kitties to get them through a future crisis.
Britain is unlikely to agree that a fixed percentage of profits should go on bonuses. But officials in London believe that allowing national regulators to intervene would "kill two birds with one stone" – reducing excessive risk-taking by banks and meeting the public and political clamour for a crackdown on bonuses.
The G20 leaders are expected to call for rewards to be based on long-term performance, a move which could see bonuses "clawed back" after a few years" if they were not deserved.
Gordon Brown will use the summit to propose a "new global compact" to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis. But he risks sparking a rift with China by joining President Barack Obama in a call for a "rebalancing" of the global economy.
The plan would recognise that US consumers could no longer be the engine for global growth and encourage China to spend rather than save its cash mountain. In return, China would win more clout on the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which would oversee the "rebalancing" and provide "insurance" to countries so they had less incentive to build up huge reserves for a future crisis.
A document outlining the US position at the G20 warned: "The world will face anaemic growth if adjustments in one part of the global economy are not matched by offsetting adjustments in other parts."
President Obama said yesterday: "We can't go back to the era where the Chinese or the Germans or other countries are just selling everything to us, we're taking out a bunch of credit card debt or home equity loans, but we're not selling anything to them."
China has been under pressure from the West for years to ensure that its huge population spends more abroad. Gaps between savings and investment rates among different nations were one cause of the global recession, as huge trade surpluses and currency reserves were built up by exporters like China, while there were big deficits in the US and other economies.
But China insists this was not the root cause of the crisis, blaming risky behaviour in the financial world. Last night, Mr Brown said he believed there was strong support among world leaders for a "global compact for growth and jobs". He predicted there would be no early end to the $1trillion "fiscal stimulus" package agreed at the last G20 summit in London in April, saying it would continue for at least another year.
"The stimulus that we have still got to give the world economy is greater than the stimulus we have already had, so I would say that over the next 15 months you will see America's stimulus higher than it was in the last few months because that is how it is projected to develop, Germany's stimulus next year is higher than this year," he said. "What we want to do is safeguard a recovery from a recession we feared would develop into a depression."
The timing of the withdrawal of the fiscal stimulus package as the global economy recovers will be a key issue at this week's summit.
The Prime Minister believes it is essential that any action is carefully co-ordinated at the international level to ensure that the still fragile world economy does not plunge back into a double-dip recession. But Germany and France may call for a swifter "exit strategy" now that their economies have started to grow again.
Mr Brown's success in chairing the London summit was called into question yesterday by aid groups. A study by ActionAid found that only half the $50bn promised in London for the world's poorest nations has been delivered so far.
Dr Claire Melamed, Head of Policy at ActionAid, said: "The inconvenient truth is that the IMF has budget tightening hardwired into its DNA. Unlike in rich countries, where fiscal stimulus was the order of the day, most of the countries going to the IMF have been asked to agree to limits on their spending and borrowing.
"The risk now is that help for poor people will be sacrificed in favour of balancing the books, which seems doubly unfair at a time when trillions are being spent on propping up banks."
Diary overload Gordon Brown's hectic week
Tuesday 22 Mr Brown flies to New York for the annual United Nations General Assembly, a gathering of 192 countries. He will co-chair a climate-change debate about how much industrialised nations should pay to help developing countries switch to low-carbon economies. This is a potential stumbling block to a new global deal in Copenhagen in December.
Opportunity rating (out of five): 2. A critical issue
Danger rating: 3. No breakthrough likely until Copenhagen
Wednesday 23 The Prime Minister does not want a one-to-one meeting with the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who is scheduled to address the assembly. This will turn the media spotlight back on the release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, just when Mr Brown had hoped it had moved on. Colonel Gaddafi ignored his plea for Megrahi not to be given a hero's welcome in Tripoli. However, the Prime Minister may not be able to avoid another "grip and grin" handshake for the cameras.
Opportunity rating: 2. Not much to be gained in current climate
Danger rating: 4. Colonel Gaddafi remains unpredictable
Mr Brown will speak to the UN General Assembly. The media will be looking for any sign of tension with Barack Obama over al-Megrahi, whose release the US condemned because 189 of the 270 people who died in the 1988 bombing were American. Mr Brown will be keen to show that the Anglo-American "special relationship" is still intact, but will not get a one-to-one meeting with the US President.
Opportunity rating: 3. Other issues (global economy, Afghanistan, Middle East peace) should take priority
Danger rating: 2. Lockerbie still a sensitive issue for US
Mr Brown will unveil his latest initiative to help the world's poor – free healthcare for tens of millions of people who currently pay "user fees", including pregnant women, young mothers and children. The move is designed to tackle maternal and child mortality.
Opportunity rating: 2. Important but may not be main event
Danger rating: 4. Mr Obama may be reluctant to engage when battling over US health system
Thursday 24 Mr Brown will sit at the same UN Security Council table as Col Gadaffi to discuss nuclear proliferation – just the Prime Minister's luck that Libya is one of the council's 10 rotating members. It is another photo-opportunity he will have to grin and bear. Mr Brown will then fly to Pittsburgh for a working dinner with G20 leaders. He will hope to shape their discussions after winning plaudits for saving the banks in the financial crisis and chairing a successful G20 summit in London in April. The Prime Minister will call for an ambitious "new global compact to entrench economic recovery and secure stability, growth and jobs".
Opportunity rating: 2. Mr Brown will be taken seriously
Danger rating: 3. It will be Mr Obama's show; a new "compact" will not be agreed overnight
Friday 25 The G20 summit will decide how long governments should maintain a fiscal stimulus as economic growth resumes; how to regulate bankers' bonuses and reforms to bodies like the International Monetary Fund. Mr Brown will call for spending by governments to continue next year to prevent a double-dip recession. But Germany and France may push for a swifter "exit strategy". Mr Brown could find himself allied with Mr Obama against President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany. The G20's verdict could also have implications for Britain: the Tories want to cut public spending now, but Mr Brown would like to claim they are isolated internationally.
Opportunity rating: 3. Mr Brown will claim victory, but so will everyone else after a compromise
Danger rating: 2. Talk of exit strategies will be seized on by the Tories
Saturday 26 Mr Brown will arrive at Heathrow and be driven straight to Brighton for the Labour Party conference, a critical week in his efforts to fight back against the Tories. He must also prepare for an interview with Andrew Marr on Sunday morning and finalise his all-important speech.
Opportunity rating: 3. Good platform for a relaunch
Danger rating: 2. Labour Party should rally behind him – for now

Iran hopes for a new world order |
|
By Amir Taheri, Special to Gulf News |
|
Has Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won his first diplomatic
victory since his disputed re-election last June? Last Thursday, Tehran presented what it called "an updated
package" as the basis for fresh negotiations with the five
permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany
(5+1). On Friday, P.J. Crowley, the State Department spokesman in
Washington, said the package was "unacceptable" because it did
not address the Iranian nuclear issue. Nevertheless, he continued to say that the US would seek "an
early meeting" while giving Iran until the end of the year to make
up its mind. On Monday, however, Iran announced that October 1 has already been
fixed as the date for starting a fresh round of negotiations. The
official Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna) reported that Javier
Solana, the European Union's foreign policy czar and the point man on
negotiations with Tehran, had agreed to the date after studying the
Iranian 'package'. If the proposed round of talks, the first since last autumn, actually
take place, Ahmadinejad would be able to claim a diplomatic victory. There are three reasons for this. The first is that, for the first
time since the nuclear dispute started almost a decade ago, it would be
Iran and not the big powers, acting on behalf of the Security Council,
setting the agenda. To be sure, the 5+1 would have every opportunity to raise whatever
issue they want, including the nuclear dispute. However, they would be
doing so solely within the framework fixed by Tehran and not the three
mandatory resolutions passed by the Security Council. Even before being elected, US President Barack Obama had promised
"direct and unconditional talks" with Iran. However, what he ends up getting next month will be conditional
talks, with conditions fixed by Iran. Nor would he get the one-on-one talks he had hoped for. The US would
be 'engaged' in a multilateral context in which China and Russia would
act as 'restraining powers', anxious to prevent undue pressure on the
Khomeinist regime. The second reason why Ahmadinejad could claim victory is that he has
managed to engage the major powers on a range of issues, the very
discussion of which could create the impression that Iran is being
accepted as a partner in creating "a new global order". Without saying so in public, the Iranian leadership has resented the
fact that it has been shut out of the G20 negotiations into which others
such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria and South Africa have been
welcomed. Ahmadinejad likes to refer to Iran as "a world power" with
"both the right and duty to offer mankind an alternative
vision." His hope is to transform the 5+1 into a new G7 of which
Iran is a full partner. The proposed 'package' is a script for a
thorough re-orientation of global policies, rather than settling the
dispute over Iran's nuclear ambitions. Ahmadinejad claims that in today's world only two powers count: Iran
and the United States. This is why he insists on being treated as a
world leader and not a regional pariah. His address at the forthcoming
general assembly of the United Nations in New York has already been
described by the official media in Tehran as a "blueprint for a new
world order". Finally, even if Iran fails to secure a place at the top table
through the 5+1 group, the coming negotiations could provide a mechanism
for buying time. Weeks, if not months, could be spent on 'clarifying'
aspects of the proposed 'package'. In fact, Obama has already given Ahmadinejad a whole year, free of
pressure and additional sanctions. The consensus in Tehran is that Iran would reach the so-called
nuclear threshold within the next 18 months. This means it will have the
technical, scientific and industrial wherewithal to build a nuclear
arsenal. Once that threshold is reached all talk of stopping Iran from
acquiring a military nuclear potential would be academic. The issue
would become one of persuading Iran not to build the bomb. There are two reasons for Tehran's self-assurance as it prepares for
next month's talks. The first is that Ahmadinejad and his advisors are
confident that the Obama administration has already accepted a nuclear
Iran but dare not do so openly because it is afraid of the 'Zionist
lobby' in Washington. Here is how Ata-Allah Bahrami, senior analyst for the official news
agency Irna, puts it: "Leaving aside the literature of propaganda
and judging by the real yardsticks of national interests and threats,
the United States has no problem with Iran's nuclear project and does
not regard it as a threat to itself". He continues: "American [officials] have repeatedly spoken of
accepting a nuclear Iran and tried to propose counter measures.
[Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton has spoken of an American nuclear
umbrella for the Middle East". The second reason is that Ahmadinejad believes that Obama is anxious
to organise the United States' strategic retreat from the Middle East.
With help from Iran, Obama could obtain an orderly retreat. With a
hostile Iran, the planned retreat could turn into "an historic
catastrophe" for the United States. The message from Tehran to Washington is simple: "Your time in
the Middle East is over, and you know it. You are looking for ways of
getting out without being routed. Recognise Iran as the new dominant
power in the region and we shall help you get out with minimum
losses". Amir Taheri is an Iranian writer based in Europe. |

Red Alert: Military attempts to frame Infowars reporters for terrorism at G20 summit
Jason Douglass, Rob Dew, Jason Bermas
Infowars
September 23, 2009
Editor’s Note: This is a rush report to protect our reporters on the ground. It is an integration of multiple first person accounts from Jason Douglass, Rob Dew and Jason Bermas. Paul Watson, at PrisonPlanet.com, posted a link to DefenseLink stating that more than 2,000 Army, Air Force and National Guard troops were massing at a National Guard refueling station in the suburb of Pittsburgh in preparation for riot control. So we did what any news company would do– we sent our reporters to the base to request to speak to their press spokesperson. The following secret police oppression then occurred. Infowars reporter Jason Douglass gave Alex Jones in Austin, Texas the phone number that the agent called his cell phone from. Alex called the number and discovered that it was the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department in Pennsylvania. A man who would only identify himself as Officer Wateska admitted to Infowars.com that he had posed as an Alamo rental car representative and offered Jason Douglass two free days of rental if he would trade the car in. The Infowars crew would then have been taken into custody by a Joint-Terrorism Task Force. The officer also confirmed that Jason Douglass’ name and Driver’s License information taken from the rental car company computers was being forwarded into the suspected terrorists database, and that it was being investigated as a potential case of terrorist activity. Officer Wateska went on to say that the Army had filed a report with them stating that Infowars crew members had refused to provide information to Army personnel and had “fled the scene”– that is a complete lie.
The reporters from Infowars went to the front gate and requested to speak with the information officer. Minutes later, another soldier arrived and told them that he would get them a media spokesman after they showed their credentials. The Infowars crew showed him the credentials. The officer then laughed at them and said, ‘These are not G20 credentials’ and then wanted to speak to their boss in Austin. Rob Dew then called Alex Jones. For approximately five minutes, Alex then heard everything said over the cell phone as Rob Dew tried in vain to give it to the Army representative. The officer laughed at them and said, ‘You’re free lance media; you might be able to talk to our public relations officer tomorrow if you come back.’ Alex says that he was ’shocked’ by how arrogant and hateful the soldier sounded, and that he was talking aggressively to the reporters. It is clear that the Army is attempting to frame us as they did in Brooksville, Florida in 1999. Mainstream media has reported that the Army surveilled ‘End the Fed’ protests, Ron Paul, Alex Jones and listed them as terrorists. DHS reports that Infowars.com have broken that the military and police have been trained to believe that red-blooded Americans are their main enemy. Reporters politely request that they be able to speak to the Army’s media representative, which is standard operating procedure and they are made the subject of a Homeland Security terror investigation. Alex wants the lying so-called authorities to know that the American people are aware of their criminal activities; the American people are aware of the police provacoteuring violence all across the United States at protest events, and that if they attempt to frame or entrap any of our reporters, they are going to be slapped by civil rights RICO suits that will dwarf the legal actions that stopped their criminal operations in the 1960s and 1970s.
Statement from Alex Jones: This is not some Third World
country where you can mow down and enslave a bunch of starving people. The
ghost of what this great country once was is rising. I know what you are and
what you do– you practice lies, deceit and murder. You love the death you
deal out to innocent people. Well know this, your masters inject you with
cancer-filled vaccines everyday– all you New World Order servants drink
deeper from the feted cup that you pour out on the people. You curse yourself,
your family name and everything this great Republic ever stood for. How dare
you try to frame good, decent, First Amendment reporters. I pray that God
soften your hearts and that you become good, decent people once again, and not
a bunch of arrogant control freaks on power trips. I know that you’re just
spoiling to bring in full tyranny upon this nation– but the American people
are waking up to who and what you are. The majority of your commanders have
completely given themselves over to true evil, but I know that Ron Paul
received more contributions from the military than any other presidential
candidate, and I know the good soldiers are with us, and that they know
what’s happening. There is a hostile corporate takeover taking place in the
United States. Foreign offshore banks have created tens of trillions of
dollars in fiat derivatives and used it to fraudulently buy our country. The
FBI, the military and local police may have been brainwashed that those of us
who are telling the truth are bad, but nobody’s buying it. A change is
coming, but not the one the social engineers had planned on.
Statement from the Reporters: At 8:30PM on the eve of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, PA, I received a call from a police officer pretending to be from Alamo car rental. During the initial course of the conversation, the supposed Alamo customer service agent tells me that the car I am driving has bad brakes and needs to be serviced.
The "agent" baits me with a promise of several free days on the rental, if I would take the car in and exchange it for another rental. After explaining to the agent that we were stuck in downtown Pittsburgh, in the heart of the G20 control zone, and security has closed the streets to all traffic but pedestrians, I then offered to bring the rental car in once I knew what the schedule was for the road closures.
Once he realized that I wasn’t going to bring the car in and their trap would go unsprung, the tactics immediately changed and he divulged that he wasn’t in fact from Alamo but worked for the military as part of an anti-terrorism task force. I could barely wrap my mind around what was happening, still stuck on the previous cover story.
Officer Wateska, as he later identified himself, then began to explain that the car I had rented was recently seen at a military installation and had failed to provide proper identification when asked. He then insinuated that the occupants of the car had turned around and fled, leaving their identity in question. Having no idea what to say and still reeling from the previous lies, I remained silent for a moment. He further explained that the military feared we may be terrorists and had released my name to the FBI and told me that I would be placed on an FBI watch list. Furthermore, he explained that the car was now flagged, and if spotted, would be pulled over and we would be detained. It was then implied that I was now on a list and that if I didn’t cooperate, he insinuated bad things would come of it. Even though I was being a very good sport about the whole thing, veiled threats were being made and I felt the grasp of our far too empowered military closing its fist.
In the end, the alleged events of 9/11 have given our government carte blanche to do anything they think is necessary. As long as they can make the leap to terrorism– and in their minds everything is potentially terrorism– they can justify almost any action including asking questions. All their actions are justified under the veil of National Security. Each day we slip further and further into the police state.
Below is the first hand account of Rob Dew and Jason Bermas following up on a report that 2,500 troops were stationed right outside Pittsburgh for the G-20:
Rob Dew and I pulled up to the gates of the 171st Airborne Division in Coraopolis, Pa. Rob then asked the armed guard at the gate if he could confirm the report that U.S. troops were going to be deployed in Pittsburgh for the G-20. The guard said he could not comment; Rob then asked if they could speak to a PR spokesperson.
The guard told us to park in the side lot and they would contact someone. Rob and I then pulled to the side of the road as instructed and waited for a military representative who was supposed to answer our questions. Instead when he arrived, he was not satisfied with our credentials. We spoke with him on and off for around 10 minutes and he was still unsatisfied with our credentials even after taking Rob Dew’s press pass, making some calls, and talking with other members of the military. He then told us that he would not answer our questions and if we wanted to return with better credentials the next morning he would answer our questions. He then gave us his contact information and we left.
Upon leaving another car was parked sideways on the other side of the street, waited for us to pass, and then proceeded to follow us for one exit, and then departed. We arrived back at the hotel to meet with Jason Douglass. As we were leaving the hotel room Jason received a call from the unknown number.

“I just don’t see that being a logical choice,” Dixon told the News-Leader. “That’s one thing that I’d say is off the table.”
MIAC has been embattled since March when a “strategic report” the agency authored on the “modern militia movement” leaked out into the press, sparking a firestorm of backlash from social conservatives who believed they were being politically profiled by law enforcement.
After gathering public input on MIAC during four public hearings, the House’s Interim Committee on State Intelligence Analysis Oversight is at a crossroads in its mission.

The survey was commissioned by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs in observance of Constitution Day on Thursday.
Brandon Dutcher is with the conservative think tank and said the group wanted to find out how much civic knowledge Oklahoma high school students know.
The Oklahoma City-based think tank enlisted national research firm, Strategic Vision, to access students’ basic civic knowledge.
“They’re questions taken from the actual exam that you have to take to become a U.S. citizen,” Dutcher said.
A thousand students were given 10 questions drawn from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services item bank. Candidates for U.S. citizenship must answer six questions correctly in order to become citizens.

Guess who the Navy sees as the #1 threat in a Pandemic? "Extremists!"
32 pages of fun! Below are a few copy and pasted entries I found interesting.
Must read.
Navy Pandemic Influenza Policy
3. Situation
a. General
(1) An epidemic is a widespread disease attacking or affecting many individuals
in a given community and/or population. A pandemic is a worldwide, global
outbreak of disease (e.g., a novel influenza virus), which has the potential to
be catastrophic. In light of current concerns, the focus of this planning effort
is PI.
(2) Current models estimate that an influenza pandemic may cause 30 to 40
percent work absenteeism and the deaths of two hundred thousand to two million
people in the United States.
b. Higher Level Guidance
(1) Reference (a) directed combatant commanders (CCDRs) to conduct
execution-level planning for Department of Defense (DOD) response to an
influenza pandemic. The planning order directs CCDRs to address force health
protection (FHP) and defense support of civil authorities in each geographic
combatant commander's (GCC) area of responsibility (AOR), as well as support
to humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/OR) operations to prepare and
respond to the effects of an influenza pandemic.
...
d. Threat
(1) The primary characteristics of the threat during an influenza pandemic are
the virus's ability to reproduce within a host. its relatively indiscriminate
attack rate, its ability to mutate quickly, and its ability to easily transmit
from human to- human. The high transmissibility and rapid onset of severe
morbidity can result in large numbers of people becoming sick or absent
simultaneously.
(2) Impact of the primary threat may cause political, social, and economic
instability as well as the degradation of military readiness_ While adversarial
forces will be infected, their readiness and operational capability may not be
impacted in the same manner or at the same time as U.S. and allied forces. The
degree to which countries can mitigate morbidity and mortality during an
influenza pandemic will have a considerable impact on military force
capabilities. Countries with more advanced and robust health care systems will
be better able to mitigate many of the PI effects.
(3) Key security concerns
that would arise from the political, social. and economic instabilities as
discussed above include opportunistic aggression, opportunities for violent
extremists to acquire weapons of mass destruction, reduced partner capacity
during and after an influenza pandemic, instability resulting from a
humanitarian disaster. and decreased production and distribution of essential
commodities. The prevalence of an influenza pandemic coupled with political,
social, and economic instability may result in reduced security capabilities,
providing an opportunity for international military conflict, increased
terrorist activity, internal unrest, political and/or economic collapse,
humanitarian crises, and dramatic social change.

PANAMAX 2009 Tests Peruvian Frigate's
Capabilities
Story Number: NNS090921-03
Release Date: 9/21/2009 2:24:00 PM
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Alan Gragg, U.S. Southern Command Public Affairs
PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) -- The Peruvian frigate BAP Quiñones (FM 58) is testing
the full spectrum of its abilities during the multinational exercise Fuerzas
Aliadas PANAMAX 2009 Sept. 11-22.
The Quiñones is part of Combined Task Force (CTF) Pacific, which consists of
vessels from nine partner nations training to defend the Pacific Ocean end of
the Panama Canal.
"We want to increase our interoperability with other nations' navies, since
the focus of this operation is to protect the Panama Canal," said Quiñones'
commanding officer, Peruvian Navy Capt. Alberto Alcala. "Our presence here
is also to collaborate with the fight against narco-trafficking."
CTF Pacific, commanded by Peruvian Rear Adm. Edmundo Deville Del Campo, consists
of vessels from Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru. Another task force, commanded by Colombian Rear
Adm. Roberto Garcia Marquez, is operating in the Caribbean Sea with U.S.,
Panamanian, Dutch, and Uruguayan vessels.
More than 20 vessels and a dozen aircraft are involved in the exercise.
Participants are focusing on a variety of responses to any request from the
Government of Panama to protect and guarantee safe passage of traffic through
the Panama Canal, ensure its neutrality, and respect national sovereignty.
Simulated ground forces are also participating at Fort Sam Houston in San
Antonio, Texas.
"I think it's different, because there is no schedule, just quick
reaction," said Peruvian Navy Ens. Alejandra Vasquez, weapons division
officer aboard Quiñones. "It is also a great opportunity, because I can
practice my language. For example, I can practice how quickly I can do an
inquiry."
Partnership is key to the exercise's goal of improving regional security.
According to Alcala, who worked as a liaison officer on the staff of U.S. 3rd
Fleet in San Diego before commanding Quiñones, his multinational experience has
benefited his career.
"Through the years, I have been gaining some experience on how the U.S.
Navy works," said Alcala. "I think it's a good opportunity for my ship
and my crew to gain experience in multinational force operations."
FA PANAMAX 2009 is one of the largest multinational training exercises in the
world, and is taking place in the waters off the coasts of Panama with the
participation of civil and military forces. The exercise was first held in 2003
with three partner nations.

Last week, many of the aboriginal people in the remote west coast village of Ahousaht were innoculated with the tamiflu vaccine. Today, over a hundred of them are sick, and the sickness is spreading.
In the same week, body bags were sent to similarly remote native reserves in northern Manitoba that have also received the tamiflu vaccine.
On the face of things, it appears that flu vaccinations are causing a sickness that is being deliberately aimed at aboriginal people across Canada, and this sickness will be fatal: a fact acknowledged by the Canadian government by their “routine” sending of body bags to these Indian villages.
Before you express your shock and denial at the idea that people are being racially targeted and killed, remember that murdering Indians with vaccinations is not a new or abnormal thing in Canada. Indeed, it’s how we Europeans “won the land”, and it’s one of the ways we keep it.
In 1862, Anglican church missionaries Rev. John Sheepshanks and Robert Brown inoculated interior Salish Indians in B.C. with a live smallpox virus that wiped out entire native communities within a month, just prior to the settlement of this native land by gold prospectors associated with these missionaries and government officials.
In 1909, Dr. Peter Bryce of the Indian Affairs department in Ottawa claimed that Catholic and Protestant churches were deliberately exposing native children to smallpox and tuberculosis in residential schools across Canada, and letting them die untreated. Thousands of children died as a result. (Globe and Mail, April 24, 2007)
In 1932, B.C. provincial police attempted to lay charges against Catholic missionaries who had sent smallpox-laden Indian children back among their families along the Fraser river near Mission, BC. The RCMP intervened and protected the church, even though whole villages were wiped out as a result of the church’s actions.
In 1969, native children who escaped from the Nanaimo Indian Hospital on Vancouver Island described being inoculated with shots that caused many of them to die “with bloated up bodies and scabs all over”, to quote one survivor.
Knowing this history, it’s not surprising when Indians on isolated Canadian reserves start sickening and dying en masse from sudden illnesses, after receiving flu shots. After all, it’s still the law in Canada, under the apartheid Indian Act, that no on-reserve Indian can refuse medical treatments or experimentation. So it’s small wonder that these reserves are the places being targeted first to be injected with untested, unsafe and potentially lethal flu vaccines.
As an entire race of involuntary test subjects, Indians in Canada are a weather vane for what will befall all of us, and very soon. For the very techniques and weapons of genocide perfected against aboriginal people are now being deployed against “mainstream” Canadians.
Under Bill C-6, which is about to pass third reading in Parliament and become the law, no Canadian will be allowed to refuse inoculations for the swine flu, despite the fact that it is relatively benign and mild, and has killed only people who are already immune-compromised. Indeed, it is astounding that such coercion and dictatorial laws are being employed to deal with what the chief Canadian Health Officer has called a “mild seasonal flu”.
Clearly, another agenda is at work; but the time to ascertain and challenge that agenda has all but run out. This coming month, forced inoculations and imprisonment of those who refuse them may be a reality across Canada. And for what reason? Clearly, not for public health, considering the sickness and death caused by previous swine flu vaccines.
I believe that the real pandemic is about to be unleashed through the very vaccines being pushed by governments and pharmaceutical giants like Novartis and Glaxo Smith Kline. The shots will be the cause, not the cure, of the pandemic. Of course, those in power can disprove this by simply being the first people to take the swine flu shot: an event about as likely as these companies forgoing the multi-billion dollar profits they will reap from the mass vaccinations.
It’s indeed ironic that, very soon, many “white” Canadians may be suffering the same fate that aboriginal people have for centuries. Perhaps it’s fitting. For if we are indeed being targeted for extermination, or at the least martial law and dictatorship, we finally can have the chance to shed our complicity in the genocide of other people, and get on the right side of humanity - simply by having to fight the system that is causing mass murder.

Canadians willing to suspend liberties in a pandemic
Sharon Kirkey
Canwest News Service
September 23, 2009
As well, 90% of Canadians surveyed for a research report in pandemic ethics believe doctors and nurses have an obligation to report to work during a pandemic, provided safety precautions are in place. Almost half (48%) say that health care workers who do not show up for work without a legitimate excuse should be fired or lose their professional licenses.
The survey, conducted by the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics, is based on a random sample of 500 Canadians surveyed by phone, and nearly 100 more via a series of town hall meetings. It was taken between August 2008 to February 2009 — just before the H1N1 outbreak began in April — and was designed to inject the public’s voice into debates usually left to the experts, and comes as officials brace for an anticipated second wave of H1N1 flu.

French scientist : French military told to get ready for forced vaccinations
Paris : A French scientists has reported on his website that he has received information from the French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM) that the French military have been told to prepare for forced vaccinations and the arrest of demonstrators.
Jean-Pierre Petit advises parents to keep their children at home to avoid mobile “pandemic vaccination teams” entering schools and giving children the “swine flu” jab outside the control by family doctors.
He said : I have received information from DOM-TOM where the French military are saying that they have received orders without any equivocation: forced vaccination, demonstrators to be put under lock and key.

Gadhafi Tells U.N. H1N1 a Military Bioweapon
ABC News
September 24, 2009
Editor’s note: ABC may portray Gadhafi as a nut case, but there is
plenty of evidence indicating that H1N1 is indeed a bioweapon (see video below).
If Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi didn’t wear out the welcome for his first trip to the United States before he even arrived, he likely did after he addressed the United Nations General Assembly today.
In a 90-minute speech before the U.N., Gadhafi delivered a halting and often rambling address in which he seemed to speak off the cuff, continually referring to notes scribbled on pages torn from a notebook.
Gadhafi railed against the U.N.’s power structure, the war in Iraq, suggested the H1N1 flu virus was a military conspiracy, called for a new investigations into the assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and demanded European countries repay African countries for their colonial plunders.

Junk Science and Contradictions Dominate WHO Pandemic Statements and Policies
Prevent
Disease
September 10, 2009
The World Health Organization (WHO) claims that by employing their monitoring standards on outbreaks from different parts of the world, they are able to obtain sufficient information to make tentative conclusions about how the influenza pandemic might evolve in the coming months. Much of the clever phrasing on the WHO website is convincing enough to conceal the fact that all their pandemic policies on response and preparation recommendations are based on pure speculation and junk science.
More and more investigations on the flu pandemic hype are exposing the malicious intent by the agencies involved. The hype which has been so masterfully publicized by the WHO, CDC and other government agencies, is simply an evolving perpetual motor of deception.
Some of the myths propagated by the WHO are as follows:
WHO Claim: H1N1 is now the dominant virus strain
The WHO claims that the evidence from multiple outbreak sites demonstrates that the H1N1 pandemic virus has rapidly established itself and is now the dominant influenza strain in most parts of the world.
This is extremely deceptive of the WHO since they admit they are routinely re-categorizing a large number of cases of common influenza as H1N1 swine flu. The WHO stated in a briefing note that the “…increasing number of cases in many countries with sustained community transmission is making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for countries to try and confirm them through laboratory testing. Moreover, the counting of individual cases is now no longer essential in such countries for monitoring either the level or nature of the risk posed by the pandemic virus or to guide implementation of the most appropriate response measures. ”
They also admit that:
- they will not collect data on the spread of H1N1 based on systematic lab confirmation.
- they will discourage national health officials to conduct detection and laboratory confirmation, while also pressuring the countries’ public health authorities to duly deliver to the WHO on a weekly basis the data on H1N1 cases.
- they will only refer to “confirmed cases”. They do not distinguish between confirmed and non-confirmed case. It would appear that the “non-confirmed” cases are categorized as confirmed cases and the numbers are then used by the WHO to prove that the disease is spreading. (See WHO tables)
Reality: Since the swine flu has the same symptoms as seasonal influenza, the widespread incidence of the common flu is being used to generate the confirmed case H1N1/swine flu reports delivered to the WHO. Therefore, without laboratory evidence, it is impossible (scientifically or otherwise) for the WHO to ascertain any reliable evidence that H1N1 is the dominant virus strain. They routinely use such junk science in dealing with the body of pandemic facts and truths.
WHO Claim: Pandemic flu is not the same as seasonal influenza
They claim that there are differences between patterns of illness reported during the pandemic and those seen during seasonal epidemics of influenza. Specifically, they imply that age groups affected by the pandemic are generally younger than those of seasonal influenza.
The WHO is knowingly misleading the public with their claims. On their own website, they specify that “yearly influenza epidemics can seriously affect all age groups.” Moreover, by insisting that “most of the severe cases and deaths have occurred in adults under the age of 50,” they are specifically targeting populations with the largest demographic age group. Their intention is to endorse the greatest compliance for public administration of vaccines and the highest profits to the pharmaceutical industry. Without any scientific evidence, they promote these assumptions and advertise their fictitious data and opinions as facts.
The symptoms of seasonal influenza are known to be quite mild for the majority of the population. Coincidently, the WHO continues to define the severity of the H1N1 virus as an illness requiring neither hospitalization nor even medical care. Most cases are having mild symptoms that clear up on their own, very much like seasonal influenza. These types of contradictory statements are littered throughout the WHO literature and their policies.
Reality: There is no substantive or credible nature to this claim since the WHO will not collect data on the spread of H1N1 for ANY age group based on systematic lab confirmation. The fact that they are not distinguishing between confirmed and non-confirmed cases strongly translates this claim into pure conjecture.
WHO Claim: Pregnant Women are a vulnerable group
According to the WHO, there is an increased risk of the pandemic flu during pregnancy which is well-documented across countries. They further state that this risk takes on added significance for this virus since it preferentially infects younger people.
Pregnant women have been identified as being at high risk of complications resulting from H1N1 flu, following publication of research in the Lancet medical journal in July. As a result, officials on both sides of the Atlantic have identified mothers-to-be as priority cases for the fast-tracked vaccine, despite the fact that relatively nothing is known about the possible side effects of the vaccine on unborn babies.
Just as there was no evidence of the avian flu virus mutating to cause a pandemic, there is also no evidence of any mutagenic process involved in the H1N1 swine flu virus. Talmage Holmes, a relationship manager for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Columbus, Ohio, states that pregnant women should not have any special worries. “Pregnant women are at no greater risk than others.” says Dr. Holmes. “Until there has been mutation or re-assortment of the avian flu virus’ genetic material, the risk to all humans is very low.”
Reality: To date, there are NO well-documented case studies in any country that establish pregnant women as having an increased risk for pandemic flu. Globally, the effects of the H1N1 swine flu virus have been relatively mild and it has behaved no differently than any other influenza virus. The WHO is well aware of this fact despite its tireless effort to advocate the opposite by manipulating the data. By targeting pregnant women, the WHO is attempting to instigate fear which they hoped would activate the maternal protective reponse in women who would then opt for the vaccine. In reality, it has accomplished the opposite effect. According to the results of recent polls on mumsnet.com, just 6% of pregnant women say they definitely will take the swine flu vaccine to protect their children.
WHO Claim: Regulatory procedures for pandemic vaccines are rigorous and do not compromise safety.
According to the WHO, they attempt to shorten the time between the emergence of pandemic viruses and the availability of safe and effective vaccines.
For example, to fast-track vaccines, they only require minimal data from manufacturers who already have licensed influenza vaccines if they intend on using the same manufacturing process for pandemic vaccines.
One such method used in Europe is to conduct advance studies using a “mock-up” vaccine that contains an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations.
When testing these mock-up vaccines, it is very possible to release the novel influenza virus into the population, as its purpose is to “mimic the novelty of a pandemic virus” and “greatly expedite regulatory approval.”
Why are the potential effects of releasing a viral strain to which humans have acquired NO immunity for? This alone is an extremely dangerous practice which leaves gaping holes in the safety protocols at the WHO.
They also claim that fast-tracked vaccines will require post-inoculation testing to validate vaccine safety. “Time constraints mean that clinical data at the time when pandemic vaccines are first administered will inevitably be limited. Further testing of safety and effectiveness will need to take place after administration of the vaccine has begun.” In other words, the first groups or populations treated with the vaccine are human experiments.
Reality: This clearly demonstrates the irresponsible nature of WHO pandemic policy. The fast-tracked pandemic vaccines they attempt to regulate and approve are those with the least safety testing prior to being used. This potentially gives vaccine manufacturers the green light to develop medically approved poison with no regard to human health. They compromise safety in every respect.
WHO Claim: Influenza vaccines have been used for more than 60 years and have an established record of safety in all age groups.
Reality: For the last 60 years, influenza vaccines have contained combinations of the following: Ammonium sulfate, polysorbate 80, thimerosal, formaldehyde, egg or chicken protein, antibiotics and aluminum, among others. Each of the above ingredients are toxic and pose a scientifically established hazard when injected into the human body. The long-term adverse effects of vaccines and their additives are no longer questioned by hundreds of internationally recognized scientists. The facts are clear, the risk of vaccines outweigh any benefits to human health.
Inoculations are the true weapons of mass destruction, and have absolutely no correlation to disease prevention. Vaccines have caused millions of chronic health ailments and deaths in the last 60 years. The statements made by the WHO claiming “an established record of safety in all age groups” is at the very least outlandish and criminal.

WASHINGTON — America's first family will get vaccinated against swine flu when they are advised to, President Barack Obama said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.
"We want to get vaccinated. We think it's the right thing to do. We will stand in line like everybody else and when folks say it's our turn, that's when we'll get it," Obama told CNN's "State of the Union."
With the northern hemisphere entering its autumn flu season and infection rates again beginning to spike, many Americans are waiting for the first deliveries of (A)H1N1 vaccines, expected to come in the first weeks of October.
The emergency services personnel and others who are at risk or vulnerable, including pregnant women and children with underlying conditions, will be first to get the vaccine.
"After that, I think, you're looking at kids, so Malia and Sasha would fall into that category," Obama said referring to his two young daughters. "I suspect that I may come fairly far down the line."
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that the flu season had begun earlier than normal and that the number of detected cases had risen.
"The Obama family plan is to call up my HHS (Health and Human Services) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and my CDC director, and just ask them, what's your recommendation? And whatever they tell me to do, I will do," Obama said.
Worldwide, at least 3,205 people have died of the virus since it was uncovered in Mexico in April, according to the World Health Organization. The United States has confirmed more than 600 swine flu-related deaths.
The US government has purchased 195 million doses of swine flu vaccine and will make shots against the influenza A(H1N1) virus available free of charge starting next month.

Here’s the scene from some dark, present-day action movie: David Balfour breathed hard. He could hear the thumping of heavy boots outside his door, down the hall, mixed with the muffled grunts of military men. He had known they would come. It was obvious from the moment he refused the VaxTrax bracelet at the county clinic. They said it would keep him safe because they could pinpoint his location if he ever suffered a heart attack or an accident. As a bonus, his entire medical history was also imprinted in the RFID chip, so even if he was found unconscious, they could determine his medical status and start treatment right away.
But he had refused on the spot. David didn’t want to be tracked. So he walked away from the clinic, without the vaccine and without the bracelet.
That was stupid, he now realized. They had apparently tracked him anyway… somehow… and now they were at his door, and their fists pounded loudly.
“Boston Police! Open up!”
He glanced at the window behind him. Too late to plan an escape route. Maybe he should have thought of that earlier, but no, fleeing out the window was the stuff of Hollywood fiction, not here-and-now reality in Boston, Massachusetts.
“Mr. Balfour!” the police shouted. “You have ten seconds to open this door, or we are coming in.”
They weren’t bluffing. Pretending he wasn’t home clearly wouldn’t work. Maybe he could talk his way out of it. “I’ve broken no law!” he screamed back at the door.
“Mr. Balfour,” came the voice in authoritative tones, “You have refused to wear the VaxTrax bracelet as mandated by the National Pandemic Protection Act, and as we cannot determine your vaccination status, you are considered a danger to the people of this city.”
“You have five seconds.”
There was no way to fight this, he realized. So David stood, reached out to the door and began to slide the locking mechanism open…
BAM! The door burst open, striking David across the chest and forehead, flinging him backwards, stumbling, then collapsing with a gasp onto the living room floor. A mass of armored military men swarmed into the room, grabbed his wrists and forced his hands behind his back to be painfully handcuffed. He tried to scream but discovered himself too disoriented to find his voice. All he could do was hurt.
The scramble was over in seconds. He found himself face down, nose buried into the patterns of his living room rug, half conscious, with a hard knee pressed sharply into his kidney. There was a pause.
Then he heard footsteps… not those of military boots, but the soft shuffling of worn walking shoes. This was someone different, someone more… civilian.
“I’m doctor Argosy,” a voice hummed above and behind him. “Mr. Balfour, you are now going to receive an FDA-approved H1N1 vaccination and be fitted with a VaxTrax bracelet. Please remain calm.”
So this is what it has come to, he thought. Face down on the floor of his own home, a squad of vaccine enforcers standing on his back, a pair of handcuffs, a shattered front door, a probable black eye and a doctor, hidden from view, about to inject him with something he knew couldn’t possibly be safe.
The vaccine shot itself was painless and quick. Maybe it was the adrenaline, he thought, that masked the pain. He felt the cold plastic of a tracking bracelet being zipped around his wrist, then the handcuffs slid away and the pressure in his back released. “There, Mr. Balfour. You’re all set,” said the voice of the doctor. “Have a nice day.”
Before leaving, one of the police officers leaned close to him, almost whispering in his ear, “And don’t try to take off your VaxTrax, or we’ll know, and we’ll have to come back here.”
They marched out almost as quickly as they had entered, stomping down the hall for a few moments, and then the sounds paused. A pounding on another door broke the silence. David heard them shouting through the door of his neighbor’s apartment. “Mrs. Henderson, open up. This is the Boston Police!”…
The above fictional account may not remain fiction for long. Late last year, the city of Boston began fitting vaccine recipients with RFID tracking bracelets, allowing health authorities to visually track the vaccine status of city residents on a large digital map. This map shows the location and status of anyone wearing an RFID tracking bracelet, thereby revealing areas of the city where vaccination rates are low, too.
By identifying these “low vaccination” areas, city officials could roll in with mobile vaccination units and law enforcement personnel, then march door to door, vaccinating and tagging residents either voluntarily or at gunpoint, depending on the circumstances. It’s all perfectly legal, by the way, under Massachusetts laws that are being put in place right now to handle the expected swine flu pandemic.
This RFID vaccine tracking technology isn’t fiction. It exists right now and was reported by the Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/11/21/boston_launches_flu_shot_tracking/) which revealed that vaccine-tracking bracelet trials were in place nearly a year ago.
“Several hundred people are expected to queue up for immunizations at the headquarters of the Boston Public Health Commission,” the Boston Globe reports. “Each of them will get a bracelet printed with a unique identifier code. Information about the vaccine’s recipients, and the shot, will be entered into handheld devices similar to those used by delivery truck drivers.”
This effort, says the Boston Globe, is “aimed at eventually creating a citywide registry of everyone who has had a flu vaccination. The resulting vaccination map would allow swift intervention in neighborhoods left vulnerable to the fast-moving respiratory illness.”
This is an open admission that the kind of scenario depicted in the fictional snapshot at the top of this article could potentially become reality. “Swift intervention” means “rapid-fire vaccinations.” And people who resist those vaccines aren’t going to have much of an opportunity to say no.
The worse the pandemic gets, the more aggressive these actions will become.
If people start dying from the pandemic in larger numbers, the “vaccine squads” are likely to be out in full force, injecting victims at road checkpoints and possibly even in their own homes via door-to-door sweeps. People who refuse to be vaccinated can be legally arrested and detailed by authorities, and to use the exact terms that are about to be passed into law in Mass., they can be “involuntarily transported” to a quarantine camp. Almost sounds like fun, huh? A free ride, free food, free showers… oh yeah, and a free vaccine shot, too, courtesy of the state.
To repeat, this part isn’t fiction: It’s written right into proposed laws that are very likely to be passed and aggressively enforced if a runaway pandemic scenario unfolds. You can read about some of these proposed laws right here: http://www.naturalnews.com/026934_health_public_health_quarantine.html
Beyond the RFID tracking technology, there’s another disturbing development you need to be aware of: Law enforcement all over the country are now reportedly being briefed about the possibility of “vaccine checkpoints.” These could be set up on key roads and highways, and people passing through those checkpoints will have to prove they have been vaccinated or they may face being arrested and “involuntarily transported” to a quarantine camp.
Of course, it might not take much documentation to get past the checkpoints. There’s no formalized vaccine ID card that exists yet, so a letter from your doctor (or some reasonably believable rendition of such) will likely be sufficient, unless they actually mandate vaccine tracking bracelets for everyone (but even that would take years to implement simply due to the manufacturing and distribution logistics).
I’m also not too sure that the masses of American sheeple will be willing to wear RFID bracelets that report their real-time positions to the U.S. government. It’s just a little too close to being barcoded like a Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. People generally don’t like that.
Then again, as the Boston Globe reported in 2008, hundreds of Bostonians actually lined up and volunteered to wear these bracelets, even knowing they would be tracked in real time by their own government. This is disturbing evidence that lots of people just can’t wait to be medically enslaved by the state. Some will actually raise their hands and line up for the opportunity!
On the other end of the spectrum, there are a whole lot of people who will refuse to be medically enslaved by the state. Known as “refuseniks,” these are the people like you and me who choose not to be injected with some hastily-approved chemical cocktail that’s never been long-term tested on anyone. Let the volunteers be the guinea pigs, if they’re really that anxious to get injected. The rest of us will take care of our own immune systems through more natural methods, thank you very much.
Here’s the word for those who wish to avoid problems at vaccine checkpoints: Acquire some “proof” of vaccination as soon as possible after the vaccinations begin. And keep it with you at all times.
I’m not actually suggesting you get vaccinated just to get the paperwork, by the way. In fact, there’s a chance you’re already immune to H1N1. You may already have antibodies for the virus, meaning you’ve been “naturally vaccinated” even without a shot. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027037_swine_flu_H1N1_vaccines.html)
Your healthy immune system, you see, will create its own built-in vaccine upon exposure to the pandemic virus, and within a few days after being exposed, you will generate your own H1N1 antibodies, just like all the other people who were vaccinated. Except your antibodies will be even stronger than theirs, because you were exposed to a live virus, while they were only exposed to a weakened one (via the vaccine). So in effect, you will be far better vaccinated against H1N1 than the people who got the vaccine shots!
Even without the vaccine, H1N1 swine flu is no more fatal than a regular seasonal flu, and why should anybody have to prove they’ve been vaccinated against a flu that’s so mild it only kills roughly 1 out of 100,000 people who get infected?
Do you realize that if a pharmaceutical being tested in clinical trials killed the same percentage of people as the swine flu virus, it would be declared astonishingly SAFE by the FDA? The swine flu, as currently circulating, isn’t dangerous. It’s the vaccines that pose the greater risk to your health, in my view. Only time will tell how many people the vaccines end up killing, of course.
Should you, for some reason, wish to actually get a vaccine in order to acquire vaccine documentation, I recommend nasal vaccines over injected vaccines. They’re inherently safer, in my view, because the nose is one of the natural pathways through which viruses enter your body anyway (as opposed to a hole in your arm). Nasal vaccines don’t contain thimerosal, either.
The FluMist nasal vaccine, just so you know, contains “Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine,” meaning it is made out of live viruses (http://www.cdc.gov/FLU/about/qa/nasalspray.htm). But your uncle Charlie probably also contains live influenza, so this isn’t anything to be too worried about. If you plan to get lots of rest, have strong immune system support, get lots of vitamin D and spend a few days recuperating with little or no stress, your chances of being harmed by the nasal vaccine are virtually nil, unless you’re obese and suffer from a preexisting respiratory condition or immune system problem, in which case you shouldn’t be receiving a nasal vaccine in the first place.
If you actually do get a vaccine, hold on to the paperwork. That’s what will get you through the vaccine checkpoints, if they are indeed put into play. In reality, there are likely to be hundreds of different documents showing “proof” of vaccination, so anything that looks even remotely convincing will probably get you through. What the checkpoint police will really be looking for are people who are completely clueless and haven’t gone through the trouble to come up with any paperwork at all. Those are the ones likely to be injected or detained.
So what happens if everybody is required to wear RFID bracelets that track their whereabouts and vaccination status?
I think this is highly unlikely in the short term, as there probably aren’t enough bracelets to go around (unless huge truckloads of bracelets have been secretly manufactured and stored somewhere, which seems really unlikely). But I wouldn’t put it past these people in the medium term: This is the perfect way to enslave the population under some medical pretext. Some percentage of the population will even line up and volunteer to be outfitted with such devices.
If such bracelets do get forced upon the population, within a few days you’ll start to see websites appearing on the ‘net with instructions for hacking or disabling your bracelet. Since those websites don’t exist yet, I can’t point you to them, but it’s a fairly easy Google search on the term “disable RFID.” That search will pull up sites like this one: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/04/how_to_disable_rfid_tags.html
And that website advises the following:
“The last (and most covert) method for destroying a RFID tag is to hit it with a hammer. Just pick up any ordinary hammer and give the chip a few swift hard whacks. This will destroy the chip, and leave no evidence that the tag has been tampered with. This method is suitable for destroying the tags in passports, because there will be no proof that you intentionally destroyed the chip.”
Obviously, don’t hit the bracelet with a hammer if you are still wearing it, or the RFID chip won’t be the only thing you’ll disable. Anyone who fails this intelligence test should probably just put the bracelet back on and hopelessly do what they’re told.
Don’t worry about being caught with a “failed” chip. Chip failures will be common, so the authorities will be used to the idea that a lot of bracelets just don’t work correctly. If they ask why yours isn’t working, just shrug and say, “Dunno. I thought it was working fine. Maybe it got bumped or something…”
So is this RFID tracking bracelet a sign of things to come? Possibly. They’re clearly experimenting with the technology not only to see how well the tech works, but more importantly to get some answers on the psychology: Will people accept tracking bracelets? Will they feel protected, or enslaved? Will they try to remove or disable the bracelets?
For now, I’m not aware of any serious talk of tracking bracelets being made mandatory, nor is there even any real chatter about making swine flu vaccinations mandatory for the public at large (although certain professionals such as day care workers and hospital staffers are being told to get vaccinated or lose their jobs…). But all this could change almost overnight. One mutation of H1N1 could rewrite the entire play book on this by increasing the fatality rate of the infection. From there, it would be a simple matter for vaccination mandates to be swiftly put into place, and mandatory tracking bracelets could soon follow.
Let’s hope that scenario doesn’t unfold. I know there are many good law enforcement professionals out there who would never go along with such a Nazi-inspired medical enslavement scheme, but sadly there are more than enough who will be willing to follow orders and carry through with whatever they’re told to do. Let us hope our law enforcement community is never forced to make that decision.
If things get worse, however, be prepared to produce your vaccination documentation (”papers, please”) at roadblocks and checkpoints. And make sure you dutifully wear your vaccination RFID tracking bracelet, too, even if you’ve hammered the RFID chip into scrap.

Mandatory Swine Flu Shots For Firefighters?
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, September 24, 2009
Firefighters could be added to the list of those mandated to take the dangerous and untested H1N1 vaccine if Parkersburg Fire Department Chief Eric Chichester gets his way, while health workers in Ontario Canada have been told they will not be forced to take the shot.
Firefighters do not work in hospitals, but because they are trained EMT’s, Chichester believes they should get both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines.
“I plan on getting vaccinated as soon as it’s available,” Chichester said. “Our guys have the choice of getting the regular flu shot, but I’m looking into ways I can make it mandatory for them to receive the H1N1 vaccine,” he told the News and Sentinel.
Capt. Rick Woodyard with the Wood County Sheriff’s Department is quoted in the same article as saying that police will follow the orders of FEMA if there is a widespread H1N1 outbreak.
According to Woodyard, this would involve “guarding injection sites and helping out the medical community.” Whether “helping” the medical community means helping them to carry out forced injections remains to be seen, but it seems there would be little else for law enforcement to do in such a situation other than compel people to follow orders they wouldn’t normally be inclined to.
While health workers across the U.S., notably in Atlanta and New York, are being forced to take the swine flu vaccine as well as the seasonal flu shot or be fired, officials in Ontario Canada have stated that neither health professionals or the general public will be forced to take the vaccine.
Premier Dalton McGuinty told CBC News that the government cannot, “hold anybody down and inject them with a vaccine when they don’t want it.”
Similarly, schools in the U.S. and Canada are making noises indicating that the swine flu shot will not be forced upon children without parental consent. Asotin County Health District Administrator Joe Lillard signaled that kids in Idaho would not be forced to take the vaccine when he told local news channel KLEW-TV 3, “This is not mandatory, it is a voluntary program,” said Lillard. “I strongly encourage parents to get their children immunized, but that’s a personal choice and if they decide they don’t want to do it, it’s there decision.”
However, all this could change if H1N1 returns as a deadlier strain and begins to claim more fatalities, which is exactly what authorities seem to be preparing for as reports of military roadblocks and martial law training drills continue to pour in from all over the country.

Evidence of Thimerosal, H1N1 Virus in Seasonal Vaccination
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
September 23, 2009
An Infowars reader has sent a vaccine insert that proves Fluzone contains thimerosal, the deadly antiseptic and antifungal agent. “Thimerosal is a very effective preservative that has been used since the 1930s to prevent contamination in some multi-dose vials of vaccines,” according to the Centers for Disease Control.
“In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later,” writes Dawn Prate for Natural News. “Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from children’s vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative.”
According to a number of researchers, thimerosal is responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and other neurological disorders. There is also a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. The Institute of Medicine conducted a study on thimerosal and concluded that the link between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders was biologically plausible and called for the removal of thimerosal to “reduce mercury exposure of infants and children as much as possible.”
“Fluzone vaccine is indicated for active immunization in people 6 months of age and older against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the seasonal influenza vaccine,” reports Medical News Today. “Fluzone vaccine is the only vaccine licensed in the United States for children as young as 6 months of age through adults.”
In other words, if you are buying into the government and corporate media hype about the flu and permit your children to get a seasonal vaccine, they are getting thimerosal. “Sanofi Pasteur expects to supply over 50 million doses of Fluzone vaccine to the U.S. for the 2009-2010 season.” Sanofi Pasteur produces approximately 40 percent of the influenza vaccines distributed worldwide, and in the U.S. Fluzone vaccine accounts for more than 45 percent of the influenza vaccines distributed each year.
Finally, the insert indicates Fluzone contains the H1N1 virus.

Schools Being Used To Force H1N1 Vaccines!

by Drs. Russell Blaylock and Joseph Mercola
"By 1853, Parliament began passing laws to make the untested vaccine compulsory throughout the British Empire. Other countries of Europe followed suit. Once the economic implications of compulsory vaccinations were realized, few dared to disagree. Then, as now, the media were controlled by the vaccine manufacturers and the government, who stood to make huge money from the sale of these spurious vaccines..."
~ Tim O'Shea, D.C.
What is in the Regular Flu Shot?
Analysis of material by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by Dr. Russell Blaylock. (September 5, 2009)
Critical Observations:
Death Rates From the H1N1 Flu
Age and Death Rates
We hear a lot about the unusual age distribution with this virus, especially as regards death rates, with the young being more affected than, as with seasonal flu, the elderly (90% of deaths are usually among those greater than 65 years old). The risks of becoming infected are as follows:
Ages 5 to 24 y/o: 26.7 per 100,000 (0.027%)
Ages 0 to 4 y/o: 22.9 per 100,000 (0.023%)
Ages 25 to 49: 6.97 per 100,000 (0.0069%)
Ages 50 to 64 y/o: 3.9 per 100,000 (0.0039)
Over 65 y/o: 1.3 per 1000,000 (0.00013%)
And the risk of needing to be hospitalized are:
Ages 0 to 4 y/o: 0.0045%
Ages 5 to 24 y/o: 0.0021%
Ages 25 to 45 y/o: 0.0011%
Over 65 y/o: 0.0017%
This indicates that for all age groups, the risk of being hospitalized are far less than 1 percent and well over 99 percent of people will not need hospitalization.
This explains why this infection is being downplayed by the virologists themselves, the ones who know most about the dangers of viruses.
The distributions of death also vary considerably by age. Below is the distribution of deaths according to age.
Ages 25 to 49 y/o: 41%
Ages 50 to 64 y/o: 24%
Ages 5 to 24 y/o: 16%
Over age 65 y/o: 9%
Ages 0 to 4 y/o: 2%
So, we see that the greatest death rates in the extremely small fraction that die are between ages 25 to 49 and 65 percent are between ages 25 to 64.
The least likely to die are babies up to age 4 years, yet they are targeted for vaccination and as we see from the above data, children below age 2 years get absolutely no protection from the flu vaccines.
Analysis of the New Government Projections to the Media
If we analyzed it according to the worst case scenario released by the government we see far lower figures than being projected:
They say 150 million Americans will be infected. That is 150 X as many as now infected, and represents a much larger figure than now estimated with a 6 to 6.5 percent of a localized population.
For the United States itself with a population slightly over 300 million, their figures indicate a 50 percent infection rate. There is nothing to indicate such a high infectivity rate from the past 7 months of analysis.
It should also be appreciated that the infections will not occur all at once, but will slowly evolve, as we have seen thus far, meaning that at any one time a much smaller amount of Americans will be infected – which also reduces the numbers who will require hospitalizations at any one time, and who will need ICU care.
As far as the number that will need hospitalization, the government now says there will be 1.8 million people hospitalized, of which 300,000 may need ICU treatment.
If we use the existing data we see that the numbers are quite different. At the time the data was taken, 303 people out of one million infected died and 5,011 needed hospitalization. This means a projected hospitalization incidence of 750,000 and a death rate of 45,000 deaths. Remember, this is using their data applied to the outrageously high figure of 50% of the population being infected – that is, 150 million people.
If the infection rate is 6 percent, as all the studies have shown thus far, we see much smaller numbers.
Instead of 150 million infected we see 18 million infected. Using these more realistic figures we can estimate a hospitalization rate of 90,000 and a projected death incidence of 5436.
Again, it is important to keep in mind that the infections will be evolving and not all at once as both sets of figures seem to imply. If we spread this over several months and waves of the infection, we see that at any one time the hospitalizations will be a much smaller number, as will the deaths.
Thus far, there have been nationwide 2,000 hospitalizations a month and 99 deaths a month.
Certainly the hospitals in the United States can handle the increase. In the United States we have 5,759 hospitals containing 955,000 beds and 70,000 ICU beds. Most hospitalized people will not require intensive care. Most are suffering from dehydration and only required IV fluid infusion.
It should also be appreciated that most pediatric deaths and elderly deaths will occur early in the epidemic because the chronically ill and immune suppressed will become infected early. Therefore one would expect the deaths to rise initially and then fall as the infection spreads as we see from this graph:
In this chart we see that the hospitalization rates are actually lower for the swine flu than in previous seasons.
In this graph we see that the hospitalization rates were either lower or barely above the seasonal flu admissions in the previous two years.
We can see from the CDC’s own data that the hospitalization rates and death rates are no higher, in fact they are significantly lower, than the previous two to three flu seasons.
It is obvious that the government is using “scare tactics” to promote vaccine use in the United States and that the pharmaceutical makers of vaccines are in bed with these officials.
The public should be outraged.
Why Do Some Die From Such a Mild Virus?
As stated by the virologists, this virus is no more a danger than the seasonal virus that visits each year and actually seems to be much weaker.
One may also note from the CDC’s own data, the previous nonsense about 36,000 dying from the seasonal flu every year is pure fiction. We have had a little over 400 deaths nationwide over the past 5 months, nowhere near the 36,000 figure screamed from the airwaves and our TV sets, yet the public is in a state of panic.
So, why are some dying from this virus?
What is little understood by the general public is that the only reason people die from the flu is that they have either an immune suppressing chronic illness, such as diabetes, direct immune dysfunction, dietary deficiencies of critical immune-supporting nutrients, chronic pulmonary disease, heart disease or cancer.
Smoking powerfully suppresses immunity as well as damages lungs, and we know that smokers are much more likely to suffer complications and die than non-smokers.
Excess dietary omega-6 fats (corn, safflower, sunflower, soybean, peanut and canola oils) also severely weaken immunity. The EPA component of omega-3 oils also powerfully suppresses immunity.
A study by the CDC found that 32 percent of children dying from H1N1 flu had asthma, when the incidence of asthma in the general population was 8 percent. Two thirds of the children who died had neurological disorders, such as seizures and cerebral palsy.
So, the vast majority of children who are dying have one of a number of chronic health conditions, yet the media gives us the impression that perfectly healthy children are dying.
A recent study of why so many died during the 1918 flu pandemic found that most of the deaths were secondary to bacterial pneumonia and not the flu virus itself. In 1918 hospitals had little to offer a sick patient – there were no antibiotics, other than sulfur drugs, no IV fluids and no respirators – all they could offer was a warm bed and aspirin.
It was also disclosed that the number of flu-related deaths among children was lower this year than the previous two years.
What are the Virologists Saying?
Virologists are scientists who study viruses – their classification, their genetics, methods of spread and their ability to cause disease. No one knows more about this virus than the virologists.
The British science magazine, The New Scientist, recently polled 60 virologists to get their opinion. These are the results of specific questions:
Will the virulent version of the virus appear?
Extremely likely none
Likely 5
A 50/50 chance 14
Possible 38
Not at all 3
What the virologists are doing personally
Stock Tamiflu or Relinza 14
Stock above plus antibiotics 6
Stock food, water and power source 5
Get pneumococcal vaccine 3
Nothing 30
Hand washing, mask, etc. 3
Notice there was no mention of taking the swine flu vaccine.
Behind the push to vaccinate the entire population are the pharmaceutical makers of the vaccines, who are working in conjunction with the government to make the vaccine mandatory.
Homeland security and FEMA are pushing for forced vaccinations and the medical experts, virologists and epidemiologists are calling for calm and resorting to voluntary vaccination only. The former have links with the vaccine manufacturers via political contacts. A great deal of money will be made by the manufacturers, should forced vaccinations be mandated.
Will This Vaccine Be Tested?
According to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, 5 tests are planned. It is not clear as to the use of the squalene adjuvants, ASO3 and MF-59.
Because of concerns raised, the FDA is now hedging. Independent studies of squalene used as a vaccine adjuvant indicates that it is associated with a very high incidence of autoimmune diseases, such as an MS-like neurological syndrome, rheumatoid joint disease and especially Lupus.
The developer of MF-59 is Chiron pharmaceuticals, which was purchased by Novartis pharmaceutical company, who will be the main supplier of the swine flu vaccine for the world. According to Dr. Fauci, testing in both children and adults will be without this adjuvant and he admits that we have no data on the safety in children. (See Nature Vol 460/30 July 2009, p. 562 for the interview.)
There are 5 tests scheduled for safety before mass vaccinations will resume. I looked up on clinicaltrials.gov the actual studies being done. It is instructive to note that the only studies actually being done do not contain any adjuvant (the immune booster) either for babies or adults. Yet, when the mass vaccinations begin, the vaccines will have adjuvant added, possibly squalene.
The real irony here is that this is the same bait and switch game they played in the 1976 swine flu vaccine disaster.
They tested one vaccine and gave a different one during the mass vaccinations.
Here we go again. Over 500 people were paralyzed with Guillain Barre disorder. The incidence was much higher, because it was not a reportable disease. And over 300 people died, which is also a very low figure.
Dr. Fauci admits that they have no idea what will happen when they mix the three viruses from the vaccines together or when they are given sequentially. When he was asked if the results of the studies would be reviewed by the health authorities, he answered, “yes, except for those done by the Novartis company.”
He justified this secrecy by saying that Novartis had a very advanced testing system, which was done “in-house” – that is, in secrecy.
It is also important to appreciate that this vaccine has been fast-tracked, meaning that many of the usual safety precautions used to prevent contamination of the vaccines will be overlooked by the regulatory agencies.
According to a number of studies, vaccine contamination is widespread, with vaccines containing pestivirus, mycoplasma, viral fragments, DNA fragments and bacterial components, all of which can produce chronic systemic disorders, cancer, neurologic diseases and even slow brain degeneration.
The Following was composed by Dr. Russell Blaylock as a method to reduce autoimmune reactions to the flu vaccines only. Do not use this if you have the flu itself. These are just general observations and not medical advice. You should work with your doctor for a specific program.
Treatment for Toxic Vaccine Exposure
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Dr. Blaylock has done a wonderful job of interpreting the misleading data and fear mongering put out by conventional media. Mark my words, the "expected" casualties from the swine flu, recently released by a presidential advisory panel are nothing but pure fiction.
On August 25, CNN reported that the swine flu could cause up to 90,000 deaths in the U.S. alone. This is downright preposterous. As Dr. Blaylock discusses above, there are absolutely no indications to validate these kinds of numbers. Instead, it's sounding more and more like the bird flu hoax all over again.
So one of the most important, and potentially life-saving measures you can take is to make sure you have IDEAL vitamin D levels. The ONLY way to do this is to get your blood tested and make sure the ranges are between 50 and 70 ng/ml. My recommendation is to use Lab Corp. If you are using Quest, please divide your level by 1.3.
The typical dose most adults need is around 5000 units per day. However, the dose could go to 20,000 units a day or even higher. The ONLY way to know is to have your blood tested.
Dr. Cannell is on one of my colleagues in this area and has done enormous good in educating the public about this issue. Unfortunately we do not share the same position about vaccines. He is actually advising people to take them and he strongly believes that there is a chance that it could save people's lives.
I couldn't disagree more strongly with his position but I respect his right to maintain it. Just reminds me that the last position nearly every physician is willing to give up is their position on vaccines. I have seen it time and time again. So while Dr. Cannell has done us all a major service in educating us on vitamin D, I believe he hasn't taken the next step and evaluated the vaccine issue as carefully as he has the vitamin D one.

FightBackH1N1
Wednesday, Sept 23rd, 2009
New York : According to the CDC, the following states have implemented legal actions in response to the H1N1 virus:
Florida – the Florida surgeon general suspended distribution permit requirements Florida statutes to allow wholesale distribution of Tamiflu and Relenza. The state has also distributed a series of blank quarantine order forms, including a voluntary home quarantine agreement, a quarantine to residence order, a quarantine to residence order (non-compliance), a quarantine to facility order, quarantine detention order, quarantine of facility order, building quarantine closure order and area quarantine closure order.
Iowa – In addition to the facility quarantine order listed above, Iowa has also made available forms for voluntary home confinement, home quarantine and home isolation.
Massachusetts – Massachusetts lists its own procedures for isolation and quarantine.
North Carolina – The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services released a draft isolation order that would provide for imprisonment for up to two years and pretrial detention without bail for any citizen who fails to comply with an isolation order.
Washington – Washington grants authority to local health officers to issue emergency detention orders causing citizens to be immediately and involuntarily isolated or quarantined for up to 10 days.
Clearly this has nothing to do with public health and the qualitative ethical practice of medicine. What about all the people who already had swine flu? Those people, who have already built natural immunity, if forced to quarantine in close quarters with a bunch of other people who may have other types of infectious diseases such as seasonal flu, etc., then become exposed to other infectious diseases and are at greater health risk. This seems like a great plan to help SPREAD whatever disease(s) they want to spread!

Ten Swine Flu Lies Told by the Mainstream Media
Mike
Adams
Natural News

The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call “bald faced lies” about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for “free vaccine clinics” in the same space.

The media, it seems, is so deeply in bed with the culture of vaccinations that they will do almost anything to keep the public misinformed. And that includes lying about swine flu vaccines.
There are ten key lies that continue to be told by the mainstream media (MSM) about swine flu and swine flu vaccines.
Lie #1 – There are no adjuvants used in the vaccines
I was recently being interviewed by a major U.S. news network when the reporter interviewing me came up with this humdinger: There are no adjuvants being used in the swine flu vaccines, he said!
I assured him that adjuvants were, indeed, a crucial part of the vaccine recipe, and they were being widely used by drug companies to “stretch” the vaccine supply. It’s no secret. But he insisted he had been directly told by a drug company rep that no adjuvants were being used at all. And he believed them! So everything being published by this large news network about swine flu vaccines now assumes there are no adjuvants in the vaccines at all.
Lie #2 – The swine flu is more dangerous than seasonal flu
This lie is finally starting to unravel. I admit that in the early days of this pandemic, even I was concerned this could be a global killer. But after observing the very mild impact the virus was having on people in the real world, it became obvious that this was a mild flu, no more dangerous than a seasonal flu.
The MSM, however, continues to promote H1N1 swine flu as being super dangerous, driving fear into the minds of people and encouraging them to rush out and get a vaccine shot for a flu that’s really no more likely to kill them than the regular winter sniffles. Sure, the virus could still mutate into something far worse, but if it does that, the current vaccine could be rendered obsolete anyway!
Lie #3 – Vaccines protect you from swine flu
This is the biggest lie of all, and the media pushes it hard. Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu. But it’s just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do).
As I pointed out in a recent article, statistically speaking the average American is 40 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have their life saved by a swine flu vaccine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026955_s…)
Lie #4 – Vaccines are safe
And how would any journalists actually know this? None of the vaccines have been subjected to real-world testing for any meaningful duration. The “safety” of these vaccines is nothing more than wishful thinking.
The MSM also doesn’t want you to know what’s in the vaccines. Some vaccines are made from viral fragments grown in diseased African monkeys. If that sounds incredible, read the true story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/026779_s…
Lie #5 – The vaccine isn’t mandatory
You hear this lie all the time: The swine flu vaccine shot is voluntary, they say. But it’s not true if you’re an employee at a place where vaccines are being mandated. Millions of Americans are now being told by their employers that if they don’t get vaccine shots, they will be effectively fired from their jobs. It’s especially true with health care workers, day care employees and school teachers.
Lie #6 – Getting a vaccine shot is a good bet on your health
In reality, a vaccine shot is far more likely to harm you than help you. According to one viral expert, the actual mortality rate of the swine flu virus is estimated to be as low as .007 percent (http://www.reuters.com/article/heal…). That means H1N1 swine flu kills less than one person in 100,000. Even if the vaccine works, let’s say, 10 percent of the time, you’d have to vaccine one million people to prevent one death from swine flu.
And in vaccinating one million people, you would inevitably harm or kill several people, simply from the vaccine side effects! Your net risk of death is increased by getting a swine flu vaccine.
Lie #7 – The vaccine isn’t made with “attenuated live virus”
When the swine flu vaccines were first being announced several months ago, they were described as being made with “attenuated live virus.” This was directly mentioned in CDC documents, among other places.
This term apparently freaked out the American news consumer, and it has since been all but erased from any discussion about vaccines. Now, journalists will actually argue with you and insist the vaccines contain no attenuated live viruses whatsoever.
Except they’re wrong. The vaccines are, indeed, made with “attenuated live viruses.” That’s how you make a vaccine: You take live viruses, then you weaken them (”attenuate”) and inject them into people.
Lie #8 – Wash, wash, wash your hands (to avoid exposure)
This idea of washing your hands a hundred times a day is all based on the assumption that you can avoid exposure to the swine flu virus. But that’s impractical. The virus is now so widespread that virtually everyone is certain to be exposed to it through the air if not other means. This whole idea of avoiding exposure to the swine flu virus is nonsense. The conversation should shift to ways to survive exposure via a healthy immune system.
Of course, hand washing is a very good idea in a hospital setting. Recent news reveals that doctors are too busy to wash their own hands, resulting in the rampant spread of superbugs throughout most large hospitals in first world nations.
Lie #9 – Children are more vulnerable to swine flu than adults
This is just a flat-out lie, but it makes for good vaccine sales. Vaccines are
right now being targeted primarily to schoolchildren.
But the truth is that swine flu is extremely mild in children. “It’s mildest in kids,” says Dr Marc Lipsitch of Harvard University. “That’s one of the really good pieces of news in this pandemic.” Reuters actually had the guts to report this story, but most of the larger media outlets are still reporting that children are the most vulnerable.
Lie #10 – There is nothing else you can do beyond a vaccine and Tamiflu
This is where the media lies by omission. The mainstream media absolutely refuses to print just about any story that talks about using vitamin D, anti-viral herbs or natural remedies to protect yourself from swine flu. In the MSM, there are two options and only two: Vaccines and Tamiflu. That’s it. No other options exist in their fictional reality.
Why is the mainstream media so afraid to print the truth these days? Why can’t reporting on swine flu see the light of day… literally, with a mention of sunlight and vitamin D? Apparently, Big Pharma has such a tight grip on mainstream newspapers that no true story on swine flu can ever make it past the editor’s desk.
Killing stories, deceiving the public
It must really be depressing to work for the mainstream media. Even the reporters I know can’t stand it. The truth, they admit, rarely makes it into print.
Over the last few years, I’ve had a couple of job offers from large media outlets. They want to pay me a six-figure salary and stick me behind a desk where they can control what I report. Needless to say, I routinely reject those offers. If I can’t write the truth like I do here on NaturalNews.com, there’s no point writing at all. In too many ways, the mainstream media has become little more than a corporate mouthpiece, whoring itself out to the highest bidder / advertiser.
It’s no fault of the frontline reporters who actually work there. For the most part, they agree with what I’m saying. It’s the fault of the profit-oriented corporate mindset where news is about selling newspapers rather than actually informing the public.
Important news stories get killed every day in the newsrooms across America. They get killed not because they are poorly investigated or poorly written, but because they upset advertisers and corporate string pullers who shape the news and reject any stories that threaten their own financial interests.
Here in 2009, the distorted reporting on the swine flu vaccine has been one of the greatest media frauds ever perpetrated. The media has in every way contributed to the widespread ignorance of the American people on the subject of vitamin D and natural immune-boosting defenses that could reduce swine flu fatalities. Rather than informing readers, the MSM has made it a point to keep the people stupid, and in doing so, the media has failed its only mission and betrayed the very audience is claims to serve.

Len Horowitz Files Pandemic Charges with FBI in NYC
Federal

September 16, 2009
Friends,
The substance of the message below on a false flag h1n1 flu pandemic has been widely discussed on the net for months, but the message indicates the first serious US legal action I have seen on it. I have with the help of many been tracking this issue as it affects states and localities, anticipating the need to file injunction lawsuits v. any government taking steps to compel vaccination. It is presumed by Dr. Horowitz and others that government will attempt to compel vaccination v. h1n1, which is not possible under current law, especially US Constitution and state constitution law for many First Amendment and related privacy and civil rights reasons. I offer the message as a warning as to how serious the talks, research and some of the proposed h1n1 policy state laws under consideration opposing civil rights, especially in ME, MA and OK, have become.
Having read of lawsuits filed against h1n1 in Europe for reasons indicated in the below article, I am convinced that there is considerable reason not to take any new so called h1n1 vaccine, and to prepare for simlilar suits in the US, which I am prepared to do.
To lawyers receiving this message, I welcome your comments on how to prepare clients and friends to defend against unconstitutional h1n1 legislation and acts, and any common effort we might begin in the US.

Release: No. H1N1-15
Date Mailed: Sept. 15, 2009
For Immediate Release
Contact: Rob Potter–(959) 715-1520 or 310-877-5002
LOS ANGELES, CA — Drug-industry investigators have uncovered documents exposing an international drug ring, operating from New York City, is behind the H1N1 swine flu fright and vaccination preparations.
Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz and Sherri Kane, an investigative journalist, have released evidence in legal affidavits that leaders of a private global biotechnology “trust” are behind the pandemic flu, including its origin and alleged prevention via vaccinations. Their documents, being sent by attorneys to the FBI this week, evidence industrialists are operating a crime ring within the “Partnership for New York City” (PNYC), and are behind the pandemic’s creation, media persuasions, vaccination preparations, and health official promotions.
“David Rockefeller’s trust, that engages several powerful partners on Wall Street, including media moguls Ruppert Murdock, Morton Zuckerman, Thomas Glocer, and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jerry Speyer, are implicated in advancing global genocide,” Dr. Horowitz wrote to FBI directors.
“This ‘partnership’ controls biotechnology research and development globally. Health commerce internationally is also controlled virtually entirely by this trust that also exercises near complete control over mainstream media to promote/propagandize its products and services for the drug cartel’s organized crime. This trust, in essence, makes or breaks medical and natural healing markets, primarily through the mass media companies and propaganda it wields for social engineering and market building,” Dr. Horowitz wrote.
Among the revelations from the Horowitz-Kane research are those linking Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties, Inc., and the 9-11 terrorist attacks, to the drug cartel’s geopolitical, economic, and population reduction activities. Mr. Silverstein, leaser of the World Trade Center who authorized to have Building-7 “pulled” [detonated] is a chief suspect in the “9-11 truth” investigation. Silverstein is currently landlord and co-partner in the biotechnology trust founded by David Rockefeller and implicated by these new discoveries.
Given the unprecedented nature and urgency of these findings, Dr. Horowitz has posted his affidavit for public review on FLUscam.com, hoping wide spread dissemination will prompt governments worldwide to cease mass vaccination preparations to avoid becoming accessories.
“The last time I contacted the FBI I warned them about the impending anthrax attacks one week before the first mailings were announced in the press,” Dr. Horowitz recalled. “It took them 6 months to respond. When they did, they made me a suspect in the mailings. This time I am warning the Justice Department a month before the deadliest genocide in history. I’m praying they’ll take kindly to my appeal for a PNYC investigation, and Court-ordered injunction, to stop the vaccinations for public protection.”

Fox News disinfo operative par excellence Glenn Beck and his entourage of yellow journos from Hearst say FEMA camps do not exist. The Fox News kool aid drinkers, numbering in the millions but in steep decline as the truth goes viral, may believe Beck, however they are at odds with reality.

FEMA camps do exist, although they may not be explicitly run by the emergency bureaucrats. In January, a bill was introduced in Congress that would authorize the Department of Homeland Security to set up a network camp facilities to be used to intern U.S. citizens in the event of a national emergency. The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill.
FEMA, of course, is part of the DHS, so we are mixing apples and oranges here. It’s all part of the emergent federal police state, designed to wrangle the real enemy of the government — the American people.
Rex 84, Operation Garden Plot, Operation Cable Splicer, and a flurry of executive orders issued over the years have established the framework for concentration camps. Glenn Beck, of course, didn’t bother to mention any of this in his hit piece, or did his Hearst researchers bother to do a Google search. If they had, they would have stumbled upon the Pentagon’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program, provided by Army Regulation 210-35, that establishes labor programs and prison camps on Army installations. In January 2006, Kellogg, Brown and Root reported that they had received a contract from the Department of Homeland Security to expand these internment camps. More than a few have commented that the spanking new KBR camps will be used to house civilian laborers, that is to say slave laborers. Many more have said the camps are for patriots and others who are opposed to an increasingly authoritarian government.
Award winning writer and filmmaker William Lewis’ latest documentary should be used to answer Glenn Beck and the other Pentagon script readers in the corporate media. “Why is the media on the one hand saying there are no FEMA camps,” Alex Jones asks in Lewis’ Camp FEMA, “while on the other hand legislation has been introduced to build them?” As Jones notes in this landmark documentary, HR 645 legalizes what the government has spent decades building.
In the documentary, Jerome Corsi says the government is preparing for civil unrest of the sort predicted by trends forecaster Gerald Celente and others as the economy falls apart – as engineered by the bankster cabal – and millions of people lose their jobs and are reduced to penury. Corsi says he has contacted the Department of Homeland Security and they have admitted KBR has built concentration camps.
Glenn Beck, please stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
“Senate committee hearings and official FBI documents further illustrate the mindset of our elected officials as they classify homeschoolers, gun rights activists and anti-abortionists as threats against the existing social and political order; by default creating an entire nation of radicals and revolutionaries — where everyone is a suspect… equally guilty until proven otherwise,” explains the Camp FEMA write-up on Alex Jones’ Infowars Store website. “How has our government shown that they will deal with these people? The same way as every other totalitarian regime throughout history… marginalize their activities then lock them up. Prisons are being built; internment camps constructed and laws passed that deal severely with anyone who dares to step out of line or ask too many questions.”
This important film — covering an ominous topic the corporate media not only will not cover (despite an abundance of evidence) but is obliged to discredit and dismiss as the collective mental aberration of conspiracy kooks — is now available at Alex Jones’ Infowars Store.
It needs to be viewed by every American concerned about government power and the tyranny it inevitably produces. As history frighteningly and repeatedly demonstrates, unchecked government power invariably leads to fascism and totalitarianism – a fact realized by millions of Germans, Russians, and Chinese in the 20th century.

Why is the National Guard recruiting for 'internment camp' cops?
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=106304
An ad campaign featured on a U.S. Army website seeking
those who would be interested in being an "Internment/Resettlement"
specialist is raising alarms across the country, generating concerns that there
is some truth in those theories about domestic detention camps, a roundup of
dissidents and a crackdown on "threatening" conservatives.
The ads, at the GoArmy.com website as well as others including Monster.com, cite
the need for:
"Internment/Resettlement (I/R) Specialists in the Army are primarily
responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional
facility or detention/internment facility. I/R Specialists provide
rehabilitative, health, welfare, and security to U.S. military prisoners within
a confinement or correctional facility; conduct inspections; prepare written
reports; and coordinate activities of prisoners/internees and staff personnel.
The campaign follows by only weeks a report from the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security warning about "right-wing extremists" who could pose a danger
to the country – including those who support third-party political candidates,
oppose abortion and would prefer to have the U.S. immigration laws already on
the books enforced.
The "extremism" report coincided with a report out of California that
the Department of Defense was describing protesters as "low-level
terrorists."
The new ad says successful candidates will "provide external security to
… detention/internment facilities" and "provide counseling and
guidance to individual prisoners within a rehabilitative program."
Officials at the state and federal National Guard levels told WND they were
unaware of the program, although one officer speculated it could be intended for
soldiers trained in the U.S. and dispatched overseas to "detention
facilities." From the national level, WND was told, officials were unaware
of any such "internment facilities" at which there could be jobs to be
available.
At a NationalGuard.com website, a front page video describes the position
thoroughly.
But one of the critics was a YouTube contributor who identifies himself as
jafount and titled his video, "Want a job putting people into camps?"
Alarmed by the ads, he said it, the idea "just absolutely blew my
mind."
Citing a promise that successful applicants would be trained in "search and
restrain procedures," he said, "That's code for violating the 14th
Amendment."
Likewise, he said, "use of firearms" is "code for depriving
somebody of their life.'
"This is the real deal, I think," he said, citing, among others, the
NationalGuard.com link.
"I saw something that didn't sit right with me. I posted it so other people
can investigate," he said.
A commenter on the YouTube site pooh-poohed the whole suggestion.
"You have … put out a relatively benign fact, twisted it into something
sinister, and then did a tinfoil-hat connection to give a false
impression," the forum participant wrote.
The ads list as "advanced responsibilities" issues such as supervision
and administration, responsibility for the "prisoner/internee"
population, "custody/control for the operation of an Enemy Prisoner of
War/Civilian Internee (EPW/CI) camp," and work on "custody/control for
the operation of detention facility or the operation of a displaced civilian
(CD) resettlement facility."
An editorial at CanadaFreePress.com raised some overall concerns:
Let's look at some of the evidence we have of the U.S. government's intentions
to establish the infrastructure that could be used to house large numbers of
political dissidents, so-called terrorists and other individuals the U.S.
government wants locked up.
HR 645 the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act is a proposed bill in
the U.S. House of Representatives that would authorize FEMA to build no less
than six National Emergency Centers throughout the U.S. on closed or open
military facilities. These facilities are to be designed to house large numbers
of people. Why would emergency centers need to be built on closed or open
military facilities unless there was a need to keep people from coming in and
out of them?
KBR was granted a government contract a few years ago to build facilities to
house illegal immigrants. Now with illegal immigration becoming less of a
problem with the U.S. economy in the toilet, these facilities can now be used
for other purposes.
"This is just another step in the U.S. government's long term plan to build
the infrastructure that could be used to contain wide spread popular revolt.
Combine this with the swine flu fear mongering and the potential for a mass
swine flu vaccination operation and it is easy to see what might happen. Refuse
to take the vaccine and you might risk being locked up as being a hazard to
public safety.
With the economic downturn and more and more people not trusting either
political party or the corporate media, the 'powers that be' realize that they
need to continue building their martial law apparatus.
These Army National Guard job listings are just another piece to that puzzle
proving what we already know is being built," the editorial claimed.
At the Examiner, a commentator wrote, "Correctional/internment facilities?
I have to admit that the U.S. government is good at one thing: creating fluffy
names for evil acts. During WW2, of course, the U.S. didn't have concentration
camps, we had 'relocation centers' for hundreds of thousands of innocent
Japanese citizens."
The jobs also were listed at Jobsearch.money.cnn.com, employmentguide.com and
freedomsphoenix.com.
WND reported when the DoD eventually withdrew a training manual question that
linked protesters across the United States to terrorism.
That followed by only weeks a Department of Homeland Security report that
described as "right-wing extremists" those who oppose abortion and
support secure national borders.
Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, has told WND that as
part of his organization's research for its lawsuit over the DHS
"extremism" report, it has discovered additional information that it
is withholding now but will include in a pending amended complaint.
Thompson said one of the things that sparked the organization's curiosity was a
reference by DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in the original report to not only
government resources but also non-governmental resources.
Thompson said the information he has "creates even more concern that the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is unconstitutionally targeting Americans
merely because of their conservative beliefs."
The earlier DHS report was "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and
Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
WND has posted the report online for readers to see.
The report linked returning veterans with the possibility of terrorism, and when
it was released it created such a furor for Napolitano she has given several
explanations for it, including that she would have reworded the report and that
it was issued by a rogue employee.
She later apologized to veterans for having linked them to terror.
But Thompson noted that the report also targeted as "potential
terrorists" Americans who:
- Oppose abortion
- Oppose same-sex marriage
- Oppose restrictions on firearms
- Oppose lax immigration laws
- Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and
the expansion of social programs
- Fear Communist regimes
- Oppose a "one world" government
- Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world
Thompson told WND no apology has been offered to the members of any of those
classes of citizens.
Thompson said the original "extremism" report was "the tip of the
iceberg. … Conservative Americans should be very outraged."

| Do not be immunized. Resist if you have to. | |
As most of you are already aware, I broke a story seven months ago in which I described a discussion I had with a friend in the health care profession at a major mid-western hospital. This person told me about the delivery of stainless steel wrist band type bracelets that carried the hardware for uploading, tracking and broadcasting uniquely personal encoded information. These bands were to be used in the event of massive inoculations or other disaster events in which large numbers of people would be vaccinated and then tracked. I also stated that plans for roadblock enforcement of these issued bands was a component of emergency planning already on the federal and state police shelves, for use when those state or federal agencies called for blockades on the movement of people. I further mentioned that the “bracelets” would be encoded on the spot with tools similar to those used by UPS when packages are delivered and scanned by the driver.
I would not release my source for fear of severe retaliation being waged against this individual for obvious reasons. On September 15th, we were contacted by a friend who said check out the Boston Globe article that has validated every shred of information that I gave earlier this year. The company that is at the forefront of supplying the City of Boston’s Health Services Department with this very device is EMSystems of Milwaukee, Wi.
Each one of you are the final arbitrators for the ultimate destiny you will inherit, here and in the next life. Use this information wisely and prepare for what is inevitable given the direction our nation has been forced into taking.
I am extremely grateful to my precious wife Liz, who dug in and processed the information that revealed this Boston event and EMSystems.
People control efforts through banking, taxes, firearms possession, food, pharmaceuticals, health care, licensing at every phase of life and business, education, military service, and multi level policing agencies, are all so programmed and fatal to individual liberties, that no one alive can deny their reality and the scope of their reach.

Obama will bypass Congress to detain suspects indefinitely
John
Byrne
Raw Story
Septmeber 24, 2009
President Barack Obama has quietly decided to bypass Congress and allow the indefinite detention of terrorist suspects without charges.
The move, which was controversial when the idea was first floated in The Washington Post in May, has sparked serious concern among civil liberties advocates. Such a decision allows the president to unilaterally hold “combatants” without habeas corpus — a legal term literally meaning “you shall have the body” — which forces prosecutors to charge a suspect with a crime to justify the suspect’s detention.
Obama’s decision was buried on page A 23 of The New York Times’ New York edition on Thursday. It didn’t appear on that page in the national edition. (Meanwhile, the front page was graced with the story, “Richest Russian’s Newest Toy: An N.B.A. Team.”)
Rather than seek approval from Congress to hold some 50 Guantanamo detainees indefinitely, the administration has decided that it has the authority to hold the prisoners under broad-ranging legislation passed in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001. Former President George W. Bush frequently invoked this legislation as the justification for controversial legal actions — including the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program.
“The administration will continue to hold the detainees without bringing them to trial based on the power it says it has under the Congressional resolution passed after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, authorizing the president to use force against forces of Al Qaeda and the Taliban,” the Times‘ Peter Baker writes. “In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in years of debates about detention policies.”
Constitutional scholar and Salon.com columnist Glenn Greenwald discussed the policy in a column in May. He warned that the ability for a president to “preventively” detain suspects could mushroom into broader, potentially abusive activity.
“It does not merely allow the U.S. Government to imprison people alleged to have committed Terrorist acts yet who are unable to be convicted in a civilian court proceeding,” Greenwald wrote. “That class is merely a subset, perhaps a small subset, of who the Government can detain. Far more significant, ‘preventive detention’ allows indefinite imprisonment not based on proven crimes or past violations of law, but of those deemed generally ‘dangerous’ by the Government for various reasons (such as, as Obama put it yesterday, they ‘expressed their allegiance to Osama bin Laden’ or ‘otherwise made it clear that they want to kill Americans’). That’s what ‘preventive’ means: imprisoning people because the Government claims they are likely to engage in violent acts in the future because they are alleged to be ‘combatants.’”
“Once known, the details of the proposal could — and likely will — make this even more extreme by extending the ‘preventive detention’ power beyond a handful of Guantanamo detainees to anyone, anywhere in the world, alleged to be a ‘combatant,’” Greenwald continues. “After all, once you accept the rationale on which this proposal is based — namely, that the U.S. Government must, in order to keep us safe, preventively detain “dangerous” people even when they can’t prove they violated any laws — there’s no coherent reason whatsoever to limit that power to people already at Guantanamo, as opposed to indefinitely imprisoning with no trials all allegedly ‘dangerous’ combatants, whether located in Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Western countries and even the U.S.”
The Obama Administration appears to have embraced “preventive detention” in part because of problems with how Guantanamo prisoners’ cases — and incarceration — were handled under President Bush. Military prosecutors have said that numerous cases could not be brought successfully in civilian courts because evidence was obtained in ways that wouldn’t be admissible on US soil. The Bush Administration originally sought to try numerous detainees in military tribunals, but the Supreme Court ruled that at least some have the rights to challenge their detention in US courts.
Baker notes that Obama’s decision to hold suspects without charges doesn’t propose as broad an executive authority claimed by President Bush.
“Obama’s advisers are not embracing the more disputed Bush contention that the president has inherent power under the Constitution to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely regardless of Congress,” Baker writes.
In a statement to Baker, the Justice Department said, “The administration would rely on authority already provided by Congress [and] is not currently seeking additional authorization.”
“The position conveyed by the Justice Department in the meeting last week broke no new ground and was entirely consistent with information previously provided by the Justice Department to the Senate Armed Services Committee,” the statement added.
Roughly 50 detainees of the more than 200 still held at the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are thought to be affected by the decision.

Raw Story

The Justice Department made 763 requests for “sneak-and-peek” warrants in 2008, but only three of those had to with terrorism investigations, Sen. Russ Feingold told a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
“Sneak-and-peek” warrants allow law enforcement officials to break into homes and businesses and search the premises without the investigated party knowing. The authority for them was passed as part of the USA Patriot Act in late 2001, ostensibly as a counter-terrorism measure.
Sen. Feingold (D-WI) said that 65 percent of the cases for which sneak-and-peek warrants were used were drug investigations. And Assistant Attorney General David Kris told Feingold that, in most terrorism cases, surveillance methods are “generally covert altogether,” and do not use sneak-and-peek warrants.
The revelations strengthen the arguments of opponents of the Patriot Act, who have long said that the powers granted the government to fight terrorism in the wake of 9/11 would end up being used for other purposes. Now, it appears that one of those powers — sneak-and-peek searches — was never meant for terrorism investigations in the first place.
“It’s not meant for intelligence, it’s for criminal cases,” Kris told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “So I guess it’s not surprising to me that it applies in drug cases.”
“That’s not how this was sold to the American people,” Feingold responded. “It was sold — as stated on the DoJ’s Web site in 2005 — as being necessary ‘to conduct investigations without tipping off terrorists.’”
Both Kris and Department of Justice Inspector General Glenn Fine agreed that “additional vigilance” is needed in monitoring the way the government uses surveillance powers.
Feingold is spearheading an effort to reform laws on surveillance powers ahead of the expiry of parts of the Patriot Act later this year. The Obama administration has announced it would like to see three key elements of the Patriot Act renewed. Those elements include allowing authorities to collect a wide range of financial and personal information on targets, as well as allowing “roving wiretaps” to follow suspects around.
But last week Feingold and seven other Democratic senators unveiled the Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools in Counterterrorism Efforts (JUSTICE) Act, which aims to “fix problems with surveillance laws that threaten the rights and liberties of American citizens” without damaging the government’s ability to monitor suspected terrorists, the senators said in a joint statement.
The bill’s reforms “include more effective checks on government searches of Americans’ personal records, the ’sneak and peek’ search provision of the PATRIOT Act, ‘John Doe’ roving wiretaps and other overbroad authorities,” the statement said.
The bill would also repeal the Bush-era law that grants immunity from lawsuits to telecommunications companies that participated in the federal government’s warrantless wiretapping program. The immunity measure was supported by then-Senator Barack Obama, but not by Vice-President Joe Biden, or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who as senators voted against it.
