CHENEY'S NEMESIS ~ For forty years, Seymour Hersh has been America’s leading investigative reporter. His latest scoop? The White House’s secret plan to bomb Iran ~ On May 29th, 1975, an aide to then-White House chief of staff Donald Rumsfeld sat down with a yellow legal pad and in careful longhand sketched out a list of possible responses to a damaging investigative report in The New York Times. "Problem," the aide wrote. "Unauthorized disclosure of classified national security information by Sy Hersh and the NYT." He then laid out five options, ranging from the most ominous (an FBI investigation of the newspaper and a grand jury indictment) to the least offensive ("Discuss informally with NYT" and "Do nothing"). Number three on the list, however, read, "Search warrant: to go after Hersh papers in his apt." - The note's author? A viper-mean Beltway apparatchik named Dick Cheney, who was making his name doing damage control for the Republican White House after the Watergate disaster. Coming so soon after Nixon was burned at the public stake for similar targeting of political enemies, the Cheney memo was proof that the next generation of GOP leaders had emerged from the Watergate scandal regretting only one thing: getting caught - read more X

An attempt to provoke Iran and create a Tonkin Gulf-like rationale to justify military strikes? Or is this actually the first step of planned military action against Iran, with the administration’s declarations of attempted diplomacy just as phony as they were before the Iraq war? - We cannot wait to prevent an unprovoked attack against Iran - Military action against Iran would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even greater hatred towards the United States, and bring international condemnation.

LRE NOTE: what gets me is that we went through the whole rodney king fiasco and ensuing riots, and even introduced a hasty (yet still very dangerous) impasse and/or partial solution in the form of taser guns, but the police in america still treat their citizens worse than dogs and give them the death penalty with no due process by shooting them dead almost every day, and we continue to hear the mainstream media sort of matter-of-factly telling us about it, like it is no big deal or something...rodney king was beaten, but people are still being shot, so where is the outrage?...the fact is; whoever was behind 911 - whether it be the bush administration and/or the bin laden family and/or saudis and/or united defense and/or all of the above and/or whoever - their goal was to start a civil war within this country; a war between the police and US citizens; a war between the races; a war between political parties; a war between the military and US citizens; a war between the US and the UN; a war between pacifism and belligerence and etc etc etc - and mainly A WAR FOR OIL OVERSEAS to boost petroleum and/or halliburton and/or united defense profits - but! we can reverse this sinister underlying motive in the future through understanding and positive non-violent actions - the republicans and/or the bush administration have purposefully planted the seeds of race war ~ so please don't water the seeds...

'Terrorism is the war of the poor ~ War is the terrorism of the rich' -
Leon Uris, Trinity, a Novel of Ireland, 1976
While Doctor David Ray Griffin professes no formulated alternative 911 theory, he offers a clue in the title of his first book; A New Pearl Harbor refers to a passage in a document called Project for the New American Century—the neocons' blueprint for what they call "pax Americana"—which says that for the American people to accept the overt military mission of creating security through world domination, a "new Pearl Harbor" would be needed. Griffin believes that the 9/11 attacks were just that -- This is a pretty serious—and horrific—assertion to make: that the leaders of our country would see fit to sacrifice some 3,000 civilians so that we could launch a pre-emptive attack on a perceived enemy. And yet, Griffin is quick to point out, our history is rife with just such incidents, from the "remember the Maine" boosterism preceding the Spanish-American war to the Gulf of Tonkin lie that launched U.S. involvement in Vietnam to the Pearl Harbor attacks themselves. Indeed, recent scholarship on Pearl Harbor suggests that President Roosevelt knew of the attack plan in advance and even purposely provoked the Japanese, because he knew it was the only way we could join the war against Germany. This in itself offers a dicey moral dilemma: Is it justified to sacrifice thousands of lives to save millions of lives? --- During the Cold War, two more chilling examples of so-called false flag operations have come to light. (False flag operations are covert situations conducted by governments or other organizations that are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities.) In his recent book, NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe, Dr. Daniele Ganser, a senior researcher at the Center for Security Studies, Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, reports that NATO, guided by the CIA, supported terrorist attacks on civilians in various European countries to discredit the left and create fear on the part of the populace - READ MORE @ http://metroactive.com/metro/09.06.06/9-11-0636.html
LET'S PLAY CONNECT THE DOTS! - this whole terrorism game officially began for the united states back in 1996 with ex-military man timothy mcveigh when the first terrorism bill was signed in congress and when massive federal military cutbacks were in effect - why was he silenced through the death penalty before being allowed to speak his final words, and why was his alleged connection to middle eastern terrorists covered-up? - and how did the FBI and all the top military brass know to be out of the oklahoma city building on the day of the blast? - also; if someone really wanted to do harm, why did they call in about the olympic backpack bomb beforehand? - why would someone (the secret government?) stage such an event while congress was on break and about to sign an $18 billion dollar terrorism bill? - why were the 911 terrorists allowed to saunter in to a CIA flight training school and learn how to fly jets without any raising red flags? - why was donald rumsfeld on ABC's nightline on september 10th talking about massive military cutbacks, when the 911 attacks were about to instead drastically increase the military's budget? - why did some of the NYPD who were at the bottom of the world trade center buildings on 911 say they witnessed explosions at the base of the structure right before it collapsed? - why wasn't even one window broken on the front of the pentagon where a jet supposedly impacted, and why was there no massive fireball upon impact? - why was a newly fortified part of the pentagon chosen as a target, when the public had already been told about those fortifications? - was donald rumsfeld being retaliated against by the U.S. military for his proposed budget cutbacks when the pentagon was attacked on 911, or was he part of a conspiracy? - why didn't the terrorists just slam a jet into the crawford ranch in the days before 911 when the entire administration gathered? - why did they wait until the soft targets separated? - why did dick cheney ignore diane feinstein's warnings of an imminent attack in the days just before 911? - why was the bin laden family's jet the only aircraft allowed to fly out of the U.S. in the days just after 911? - why was bush senior at a united defense corporation meeting with members of the bin laden family the morning of 911, and why do both families benefit from the increased military spending? - love your enemies? etc etc etc?...

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? - TWA Flight 800 was shot down in 1996 south of Long Island - The government of the United States, despite the embarrassment of having been caught in court rigging lab tests and lying in its reports, still officially attributes the disaster to a spark in the center fuel tank, while government spokespeople insist that the witnesses who saw a missile hit the jumbo jet are all drunks - http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/CRASH/TWA/twa.html - also go to: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/
HAARP: HIGH FREQUENCY VANDALISM IN THE SKY ~ CONSPIRACY CON 2008 ~ This annual conference is a bold and serious approach to serious issues, dedicated to providing a forum for those who say what few are willing to say and facilitated in an atmosphere of goodwill, integrity and fun. Each year several of the most controversial speakers in the world gather to share their knowledge of many different issues (rarely or never addressed by our controlled media), which profoundly affect us all. Just some of the subjects covered are: Mind Control, Secret Societies, Shadow Government, The Federal Reserve, 9-11, Occult Technologies, Suppressed Knowledge, New World Order, etc. This can even include looking to the manipulation of humanity by non-human intelligences -- be they alien, inter-dimensional, demonic, satanic -- whatever consciousness it is, operating on (and in) this planet, that looks upon humankind as sheep and cattle to be herded and slaughtered at will - READ MORE @ http://www.conspiracycon.com/ ~ FREE ENTERPRISE SOCIETY ~ What is known today as Free Enterprise Society was formed in 1979 by a small group of individuals who were very concerned about the simultaneous expansion of bureaucracy, erosion of individual rights, and plunder of private wealth by slick government debt and taxing schemes - Unlike groups that merely paid lip service to freedom, Free Enterprise Society put their money where their mouth was. With their homes, jobs, and reputations at stake, Free Enterprise Society members held official authority accountable under the United States Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land in this country. Many of these challenges went into the courts. There were both wins and losses. The wins we celebrated; the losses were studied very carefully to prevent their repetition - check out: http://www.freeenterprisesociety.com/

CHINA'S ALL SEEING EYE - Remember how we've always been told that free markets and free people go hand in hand? That was a lie. It turns out that the most efficient delivery system for capitalism is actually a communist-style police state, fortressed with American "homeland security" technologies, pumped up with "war on terror" rhetoric. And the global corporations currently earning superprofits from this social experiment are unlikely to be content if the lucrative new market remains confined to cities such as Shenzhen. Like everything else assembled in China with American parts, Police State 2.0 is ready for export to a neighborhood near you - go to: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/20797485/chinas_allseeing_eye/2 > FALUNDAFA.ORG @ http://www.falundafa.org/eng/home.html + http://www.faluninfo.net/ + http://www.fofg.org/
THE NEWBIE'S GUIDE TO DETECTING THE NSA ~ It's not surprising that an expert hired by EFF should produce an analysis that supports the group's case against AT&T - But a public court filing of a redacted statement by J. Scott Marcus is still worth reading for the obvious expertise of its author, and the cunning insights he draws from the AT&T spy documents - An internet pioneer and former FCC advisor who held a Top Secret security clearance, Marcus applies a Sherlock Holmes level of reasoning to his dissection of the evidence in the case: 120-pages of AT&T manuals that EFF filed under seal, and whistleblower Mark Klein's observations inside the company's San Francisco switching center - If you've been following Wired News' coverage of the EFF case, you won't find many new hard revelations in Marcus' analysis -- at least, not in the censored version made public - But he connects the dots to draw some interesting conclusions @ http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2006/06/the_newbies_gui.html?entry_id=1510938 - FBI PRIVACY VIOLATIONS @ http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/34351prs20080305.html - COPS WHO SPY - UCSC SPYING - COPWATCH.ORG @ http://www.copwatch.org/
COINTELPRO - COINTELPRO began in 1956 and was designed to "increase factionalism, cause disruption and win defections" inside the Communist Party U.S.A. (CPUSA). However, the program was soon enlarged to include disruption of the Socialist Workers Party (1961), the Ku Klux Klan (1964), the Nation of Islam, the Black Panther Party (1967), and the entire New Left socio-political movement, which included antiwar, community, and religious groups (1968). A later investigation by the Senate's Church Committee stated that "COINTELPRO began in 1956, in part because of frustration with Supreme Court rulings limiting the Government's power to proceed overtly against dissident groups..." Congress and several court cases later concluded that the COINTELPRO operations against communist and socialist groups exceeded statutory limits on FBI activity and violated Constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and association - go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
LRE note: ever since i started publishing ONLY GOOD NEWS as a mere flyer on the streets in the early 1990s, i have had agency after agency sticking their respective noses into my private business trying to figure out exactly who this lik roper guy is...it has been everything from government agencies to advertising agencies, and the surveillance continues to this day...in fact; the old owner of the now defunct CITY REVOLT magazine (now ZERO magazine) told me during a phone conversation that the clicking we were hearing in the background on his line was a phone tap...the government was apparently tapping his phone merely because of his magazine's edgy name CITY REVOLT...and the first time i published declassified UFO information in my newsletter way before the massive CIA cutbacks during the clinton era when they found out the CIA was in fact training middle eastern terrorists overseas with help from the UK, there were once shady looking 'men in black' types waiting outside of office max watching me leave with my stack of one-page newsletter copies...you see; if the government has their way, they control every bit of information that goes out (see: mind control), and here i was doing a free-form web blog-ish type of thing on paper before web blogs even existed, and saying whatever i damn well pleased...in fact; i wouldn't be surprised if i inspired early web bloggers into existence, as my paper flyer ONLY GOOD NEWS newsletter once went all over the valley with my old BAM magazine deliveries...yes; i invented the internet!...anyway; all i can say is WELCOME! - WELCOME TO THE UNWANTED INTRUSION INTO YOUR PRIVATE LIFE!...the invasion of privacy into my life has been going on since the early 1990s and likely will continue indefinitely due to my vapid dissent and/or political influence as part of the slow erosion of rights here in america, so now i suppose now it's your turn! - yes; richard nixon may have bugged the watergate hotel - but the bush administration has bugged THE ENTIRE WORLD! [note: dick cheney worked for the nixon administration] - interesting fact: the next morning after posting the COPS WHO SPY segment above, about 10 sunnyvale police squad cars swarmed all over the neighborhood, and one of them actually thanked me for helping them out...hmmm...the week after this, sunnyvale police returned to their close surveillance of my 'suspicious' weekly litter gathering activities...

NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL (NRDC) @ http://www.nrdc.org/ ~ ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE - Many of the world’s leading scientific institutions announced the launch of the Encyclopedia of Life, an unprecedented global effort to document all 1.8 million named species of animals, plants, and other forms of life on Earth. For the first time in the history of the planet, scientists, students, and citizens will have multi-media access to all known living species, even those that have just been discovered - The Field Museum of Natural History, Harvard University, Marine Biological Laboratory, Smithsonian Institution, and Biodiversity Heritage Library joined together to initiate the project, bringing together species and software experts from across the world. The Missouri Botanical Garden has become a full partner, and discussions are taking place this week with leaders of the new Atlas of Living Australia. The Encyclopedia today also announced the initial membership of its Institutional Council, which spans the globe, and whose members will play key roles in realizing this immense project. An international advisory board of distinguished individuals will also help guide the Encyclopedia - The effort is spurred by a $10 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and $2.5 million from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and will ultimately serve as a global beacon for biodiversity and conservation check out: http://eol.org/ - BLUE BEAUTY - EARTHWATCH.ORG @ http://www.earthwatch.org/ - NATURAL HISTORY MAGAZINE @ http://naturalhistorymag.com/

THE DESERT PUPFISH - There is a hole in the middle of the southern Nevada desert. This hole, once called the Miner's Bathtub, has been known for many years now as Devil's Hole. The hardrock miner who once slaked his thirst at this remote desert site is long gone but the small Devil's Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) who has inhabited this breach in the desert for over 20,000 years is still here - To understand the Devil's Hole pupfish it is necessary to understand its unique habitat. Devil's Hole is located in a range of rugged, low hills at an elevation of 732 meters above mean sea level in Ash Meadows. Ash Meadows, which straddles the Nevada-California state line, is only a few kilometers east of Death Valley, California, but about 1000 meters higher - The word "meadows" brings to mind well-watered valleys full of green grasses surrounded by lofty pines. The only thing well-watered in Ash Meadows are the checkerboard fields of alfalfa planted by hopeful agribusiness concerns. With these exceptions, Ash Meadows is a vast, arid area. There is water in Ash Meadows. In fact, a surprising number of springs, seeps, and pools host many species and subspecies of pupfish. Devil's Hole is one of these small but extremely important aquatic habitats - read more @ http://www.nativefish.org/articles/pupfish.php - related links: http://www.fws.gov/desertcomplex/ashmeadows/ - http://www.nps.gov/deva

Recycling also protects habitat, reduces the need for landfills, and curbs pollution - NRDC promotes increased recycling, with a special focus on New York City, where we work to improve and monitor the city's curbside pickup program - We also seek to expand the national market for recycled materials - NRDC was instrumental in persuading the federal government to demand paper with at least 30 percent postconsumer recycled content from its suppliers, a step that dramatically increased demand for recycled paper - Today we are pressing New York and other cities to follow suit, to spur even more demand and create new incentives for recycled products - http://www.nrdc.org/cities/recycling/default.asp ~ ECOSYSTEM SERVICES - Ecosystem services are the processes through which natural ecosystems, and the plants, animals and microbes that live in those environments, sustain human life. Ecosystem services produce goods, timber, and fibers, medicines and fuels. Ecosystem services even conduct life-support activities, like filtering water and recycling all kinds of wastes. The natural services that for millennia have purified the water and air, supported the growth and reproduction of food plants, controlled pests, and even moderated the weather and its impacts are declining rapidly. Land clearing for agriculture, industry and mining, and development is affecting ecosystems worldwide. As habitats become fragmented, with only pockets left here and there, the services those natural systems provide become less effective - read more @ http://www.rand.org/scitech/stpi/ourfuture/NaturesServices/section1.html -> UNDERWATER LOGGING @ http://www.georgianbaywetwood.com/ - http://www.underwaterlogging-ltd.com/bio.html - http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/systems/mk-4-log.htm - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9325560/ - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5038444

WHY FUR IS CRUEL
Fur comes from animals who are either trapped in the wild or raised in cages in fur factories -- often referred to as "fur farms" or "ranches." Altogether, roughly 40 million animals are killed for the fur trade each year. Millions of additional animals, including dogs, cats, and endangered species, are caught accidentally in traps each year. Both trapping and ranching cause animals to suffer extreme cruelty...TOGETHER, WE CAN STOP THE CRUELTY - go to: http://www.fund.org/fur/ !!! FYI: for your information - CALIFORNIA ANTI-CRUELTY STATUTES / please be kind to the animals - go to: http://www.animal-law.org/statutes/california.htm
TRUTH AND DARE - At this writing, the avian flu is said to have killed about 65 people in Southeast Asia during the past two years! Little to no data is available on these individuals who most commonly had immune-compromising medical conditions. Further, all deaths were in Asian countries with questionable health services. Conversely, other forms of flu kill more than 40,000 North Americans annually, generally the immune-compromised elderly...The truth about plagues includes the fact that no grand pandemic ever evolved divorced from major socio-political upheaval; SARS advanced a political agenda more than a public health emergency. If public health officials earnestly intended to prevent these new emerging diseases, or successfully treat them at their roots, they would study their obvious origins from the merged military-medical-biotechnology arena. A basic course in medical sociology simply justifies this utilitarian counsel...SARS and the current avian flu fright is sanctioned by military-medical pharmaceutical/petrochemical industrialists likewise operating above the law in many documented instances. Having testified before the U.S. Congress, I personally experienced how premiere pharmaceutical industrialists direct our political-economic representatives in government. Emerging diseases complement the political War on Terrorism, and our bioterror-influenced culture. This agenda serves two primary objectives: profitability and population-reduction...

AIDS: A SYNTHETIC BIOLOGICAL AGENT - the world health organization is not to be trusted as they helped spread the AIDS 'virus' while eradicating smallpox in the 1970s, and as of only a few years ago were still allowing the use of DDT in some countries!?! (see AIDS section below)
• Do you know that ‘bird flu’ was discovered in Vietnam 9 years ago? • Do you know that barely 100 people have died in the whole world in all that time? • Do you know that it was the Americans who alerted us to the efficacy of the human antiviral TAMIFLU as a preventative? • Do you know that TAMIFLU barely alleviates some symptoms of the common flu? • Do you know that its efficacy against the common flu is questioned by a great part of the scientific community? • Do you know that against a SUPPOSED mutant virus such as H5N1, TAMIFLU barely alleviates the illness? • Do you know that to date Avian Flu affects birds only? • Do you know who markets TAMIFLU? - ROCHE LABORATORIES. • Do you know who bought the patent for TAMIFLU from ROCHE LABORATORIES in 1996? GILEAD SCIENCES INC. • Do you know who was the then president of GILEAD SCIENCES INC. and remains a major shareholder - DONALD RUMSFELD, the present Secretary of Defense of the USA. • Do you know that the base of TAMIFLU is crushed aniseed? • Do you know who controls 90% of the world’s production of this tree? - ROCHE LABORATORIES. • Do you know that sales of TAMIFLU were over $254 million in 2004 and more than $1000 million (one billion) in 2005? • Do you know how many more millions ROCHE can earn in the coming months if the business of fear continues? So the summary of the story is as follows: Bush’s friends decide that the medicine TAMIFLU is the solution for a pandemic that has not yet occurred and that has caused a hundred deaths worldwide in 9 years. This medicine doesn’t so much as cure the common flu. In normal conditions the virus does not affect humans. Rumsfeld sells the patent for TAMIFLU to ROCHE for which they pay him a fortune. Roche acquires 90% of the global production of crushed aniseed, the base for the antivirus.
The governments of the entire world threaten a pandemic and then buy industrial quantities of the product from Roche. So we end up paying for medicine while Rumsfeld, Cheney andBush do the business.

INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR ANIMAL WELFARE - From the outset, the founders of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, rejected the notion that the interests of humans and animals were separate. Instead they embraced the understanding that the fate and future of harp seals-and all other animals on Earth-are inextricably linked to our own - IFAW's courageous actions drew international attention to the plight of the seal pups and successfully rallied worldwide condemnation of the hunt. Thanks to IFAW's continued vigilance, it is now illegal to hunt whitecoat seal pups for commercial purposes on the ice floes off Canada's east coast. This is a fragile victory, however, for Canada's commercial seal hunt persists. IFAW continues to document and expose abuses of the commercial hunt and press for an end to this cruel, unsustainable slaughter. Over the years, the small team of committed campaigners reaching out to help seals has grown to become the world's leading international animal welfare organization. IFAW begins its fourth decade of operation with more than 200 experienced campaigners, legal and political experts, and internationally acclaimed scientists working from offices in 13 countries around the world - They are now joined in this important work by some two million contributors worldwide. This broad base of support makes it possible for IFAW to engage communities, government leaders, and like-minded organizations around the world and achieve lasting solutions to pressing animal welfare and conservation challenges-solutions that benefit both animals and people. Over the years, our approach has been as varied as the species we protect - READ MORE @ http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx

They would be free to laze in the breeze, bathe in the sun, scratch at the earth, and enjoy life - Sorrowfully, animals raised on today's industrialized farms are treated like unfeeling commodities, and their basic needs are completely ignored. They are crowded in factory farm warehouses, and confined so tightly that they cannot walk, turn around or lie down comfortably. Farm animals are de-beaked, de-toed, tail-docked, confined, crowded, neglected and denied the very basics of life: fresh air, wholesome food, room to move and, most importantly, freedom - all for the sake of a profit margin - http://www.farmsanctuary.org/ - THE IRONWOOD PIG SANCTUARY is dedicated to eliminating the suffering of pot bellied pigs in Arizona and surrounding states by promoting spaying and neutering, assisting owners and other sanctuaries, and providing a permanent home in a safe, nurturing environment for those that are abandoned, abused, neglected, or unwanted.

Shallow water species, such as the gray whale, are found very close to shore in the narrow shelf region. Depending on the season, whales and dolphins that are frequently observed include Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, Blue Whales, Pacific White-Sided Dolphins, Risso's Dolphins, Northern Right Whale Dolphins, Common Dolphins, Killer Whales, and Dall's Porpoise. We occasionally spot Fin Whales, Minke Whales, Harbor Porpoise, Bottlenose Dolphins, and Beaked Whales - check out: http://gowhales.com/ > FISH OUT OF WATER - SAVE THE WHALES - Recently we wrote to you about a horrible animal rights violation that's going on halfway around the world. Japan has been killing whales, one of the world's most precious mammals, under the guise of conducting "scientific research." Despite international outrage and the efforts of groups such as the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), Japan continues to hunt whales using the same cruel methods employed by whalers more than 100 years ago. Which is why now, more than ever, we need your voice to be heard (click here) Whales today already face real and growing threats from global warming, ocean noise, entanglement in fishing gear and ship strikes - And now, to make matters worse, Japan is using a loophole in a global ban on whaling to kill them in the name of "science." - But here's the problem with Japan's application of this loophole: Legitimate scientists agree that there's no need to kill whales in order to study them. The loophole states that some of the whale meat from "scientific" hunts must be used, which Japan then sells to supermarkets, gourmet restaurants, even fast-food chains and school cafeterias. Japan's killing of whales for "science" is actually a commercial hunt in disguise. And now Japan is planning to double the number of whales it will kill in the next several years, adding two protected species, fin and humpback whales, to its target list. Unless Japan is stopped, they could launch a return to full-scale industrial whaling; the last of which once drove whales to the brink of extinction. Only the tremendous resources and clout of the United States has a chance to stop Japan from destroying the world's whales - Sign the petition asking President Bush to oppose Japan's bid for permanent membership to the United Nations Security Council until they comply with international laws protecting whales @ http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/446578966?z00m=86511&z00m=86511<l=1149827446

Researchers have identified dolphins as one of the few non-human species that posesses "self-awareness," or the ability to know that one exists - Yet, during drive hunts, fishermen panic and confuse migrating dolphin pods and other small whales with loud banging, then herd them by the hundreds, into shallow coves - There, the dolphins lie helpless as their pod-members are slaughtered one by one - According to The Ocean Project, every year, some 20,000 small cetaceans (some endangered) are killed or taken in these drives, some illegally - The animals include bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins, spotted dolphins, Risso's dolphins, short-finned pilot whales, white-sided dolphins, and false killer whales - The hunts have been universally condemned by marine experts around the world as brutal, inhumane, and unsustainable, but we need to exert more pressure before Japan makes any changes - One dolphin supporter with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society reported on the Risso dolphin hunt just days ago from Taiji, Japan: "The dolphins are breathing, they are coming up and then swimming just below the surface, surfacing quite frequently, as this would be a sign of stress - I can only imagine the state of horror, shock and confusion that these poor animals are in now...The feeling of helplessness and horror is really hard to describe to you - This is an ultimately sad, tragic scene, and these dolphins will be pushed into a small bay tomorrow and killed." - Please help protect the dolphins! @ http://go.care2.com/e/R1uq/AKCD/oCYb

SUPERFUND CLEANUP
> 17 dec 2005 - i saw a sunnyvale tree crew out cutting down a perfectly healthy carob tree right by the raynor park water well on friday morning, and one of the crew guys told me they are installing a wi-fi tower so the city can communicate with the well from afar...the parks department authorized the tree removal, but did the neighborhood?...no!...could this be some kind of precursor to development in the peterson field, making the adjacent water supply more remotely accessible? -- i want answers! -- anyway, he also told me north sunnyvale gets largely hetch hetchy water, mid sunnyvale gets a mixture of hetch hetchy and well water depending on the time of the year, and our section of the city apparently gets its' water largely from the raynor water well, which for your information is only a few hundred yards from one of the largest superfund cleanup sites in the silicon valley at homestead and tantau - (go to: http://www.svtc.org/ecomaps/svtc_maps/maps.htm) - and! the new kaiser permanente hospital is located @ lawrence expressway and homestead road!?!

SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERVISORS
an old friend of mine recently made some good points; 1) how can our santa clara county supervisors represent us at city council meetings like they are supposed to if both city and county meetings fall on the same night?, and - 2) is it this way purposely to make it hard on constituents?...i think those supervisors need to start working a bit more for their money; they could be at a sunnyvale city council meeting on a tuesday night (for instance) then at their county supervisor meeting on wednesday night, that would make much more sense, don't you think?...or how about using webcams and video conferencing equipment so that supervisors and constituents both can appear at city council meetings across town while sitting in the comfort of their living rooms, for instance?...it's time for this new video conferencing technology to start benefitting the political process by empowering constituents as well, rather than just the corporate culture that essentially ignores those same constituents as they bull doze over their open space (for instance - just an idea) > how about letting constituents record their public hearings on web cam (or just audio to remain anonymous) to send in (via-email etc) to their respective local, county, state and federal governments to be played on local cable channels for all to see and hear? > email your SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERVISORS - DONALD F.

SAVE THE PUMPKIN PATCH IN MOUNTAIN VIEW
> 5 feb 2006 / SAVE THE PUMPKIN PATCH! - STOP THE OUT OF CONTROL CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW! - the pumpkin patch is a beautiful swath of land making the surrounding residential area one of the last nice places to live in the santa clara valley - located in an unincorporated pocket of santa clara county surrounded by single-family homes inside the mountain view city limits, the city has "pre-zoned" the area for up to six units per acre and intends to annex the property, a process that could take as long as two years and will likely require an extensive environmental review, according to planning manager whitney mcnair - (source : http://www.mv-voice.com/)
palo alto-based developer summerhill homes has its' eyes on the property - but you can help to save the pumpkin patch! - mountain view is a city like santa clara that largely does whatever it damn well pleases regardless of what their citizens do or say - and you can change that! - tell the city of mountain view to preserve one of the last remnants of rural agriculture in the santa clara valley! - if the federal government can come up with subsidies for farmers in the midwest (for instance) to keep them 'up and running', why can't they come up with some sort of subsidy that compensates a percentage of money to current landowners for their land (enough to make it equal market value) so they can perhaps partially or totally 'shut it down' from its' original agricultural uses without developing all of the land, and especially or mainly where the ag land is endangered like here in the santa clara valley - the subsidy would - 1) allow landowners to build less units on their current land and still be compensated enough to live on that same land if they chose to do so after portioning off a smaller percentage than without the subsidy - and 2) guarantee permanent protection of open space - sunnyvale has the old olson orchard which the city first seized, then was big enough to give back (but only if the olson's took care of the land - gee, how big of them) and this is now the heritage orchard by the sunnyvale community center...mountain view needs its' own heritage agricultural land, and the pumpkin patch is a great candidate for this designation...

GOOD NEWS! - it's time to rise up and take back your country! - About 300 UC Santa Cruz students led by Students Against War (SAW) kicked Army, Navy and Marine Corps recruiters out of the annual Career Center Job Fair, marking yet another success for the nation-wide counter-military recruitment campaign...Joined by Watsonville's Brown Berets, SAW protesters gathered for a rally at the campus bookstore and occupied the streets in a traffic-stopping procession up to the Stevenson Event Center where the Job Fair was being held. Students were motivated by fiery speeches about the racist, sexist, classist and heterosexist biases of the military, all of which are in violation of the UC Santa Cruz's non-discrimination policies...As the march began, a small group of students infiltrated the Job Fair and surrounded recruiter's tables, chanting and linking arms. This small group was soon joined by more students from the march who pushed their way through front and side doors, chanting, "Whose Campus? - Our Campus!" as Job Fair administrations attempted to literally shove them out the door! - (From http://santacruz.indymedia.org Tuesday, April 5, 2005) - read more @ http://www.refusingtokill.net/Othervoices/santacruzstudentskickedarmy.htm

(LRE NOTE: it's the same old argument of the 1960s; why is it ok for an 18 year old to die and/or kill for the military, but not ok for that same 18 year old to drink and/or smoke?...also; my grampa used to get medicinal alcohol by prescription, and while society has gone back and forth with it's attitudes towards alcohol consumption since then, recent studies have shown that moderate amounts of alcohol do in fact have some medicinal qualities...my point is this; even when marijuana is fully legalized, there will probably be certain segments of our society fighting against it's usage just like the continuing fight against alcohol...and like i have said so many times before; in this proud 'democracy' we call america, roughly half the voting electorate has legalized marijuana for medicinal usage, but it's going to take a regime change and/or the establishment of a true deepened democratic state before the will of the people is fully realized and/or self-actualized...if not, we could be in for a messy uprising here in america just like they had recently in china, brought about by an increasing population of ignored and/or invisible people...nine people in the supreme court cannot possibly represent nine million people - nine people can only truly represent nine people, and this should be obvious to everyone...in the beginning; there may have been 5 or 10 homesteaders in town, and whatever the government did happened way over yonder and didn't affect anyone adversely, but now there are a million homesteaders and the government is doing things just over our back fences...WAIT A MINUTE - STOP RIGHT THERE!...this ridiculous and largely obsolete concept of 'representative democracy' is now on the way out, and it will die a slow painful death as entrenched government leaders (and their egos) desperately hold on to power that will eventually slip between their fingers and be spread evenly amongst THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA - AND THE WORLD!...oh! and anyone who honestly believes that the word 'populist' is a dirty or bad word is working against the better interests of everyone, and should be considered an enemy of sorts or evil in a sense...you know; fuck your damn market based economy!...the US government on the whole really doesn't like the concept of deepening democracy, because it denies the rich from getting whatever they want...democracy in america has been in constant flux since its' inception many years ago, and this process of change will not stop anytime soon...another good point is this; as long as bill lockyer and rebecca cohn are representing their inner children through government, how can they truly represent my inner child, which differs drastically from theirs?...and ABAG predicts massive future population growth in the bay area, and their population growth statistics are often used as an excuse to give developers a green light, so why aren't our local leaders preparing our young democracy for this future time by deepening democracy?...you know; what are we gonna do; curtail the 3 minute speaking limit at city council meetings down to 1.5 minutes once another million babies get dumped into the democracy pile, then 45 seconds - then 22.5 seconds - then 11.25 seconds etc?...what?...IT'S HIGH TIME TO DEEPEN DEMOCRACY AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY, US GOVERNMENT! - THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS OBSOLETE AND CLEARLY DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE - YOU BETTER GET READY TO STAY UP ALL F#%CKING NIGHT AND LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS - OR GET THE F#%K OUT OF THE WAY BY LETTING EVERYONE VOTE ON THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT THEM DIRECTLY AND MATTER TO THEM MOST! - NO MORE BULLSHIT!)...
> 2 nov 2006 / ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE ~ ATTENTION! - i try my very best to write controversial things almost every day, so why is john kerry getting all the attention?...i find this troubling - you know; john kerry says blah blah blah and he gets all this attention, i say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah - and NOTHING!?...WHY!?...i want attention, damn it!...why won't someone do the government's dirty work and attempt to abridge my freedom of speech, damn it!?...i want attention!...hey!...anybody home!? - OK - here you go; people in the military basically kill for a living - and i don't trust or respect anyone who feels it's ok to kill another human being for any reason - that's all...anyone who is STUPID enough to be brainwashed into killing ANYBODY for ANYTHING is a STINKIN' PIECE OF SHIT! - and i don't give a crap whether you're a grunt in the US military, or an insurgent gang member terrorist on the streets of america - you know; half my family is dead so i take this death thing very seriously...i do not necessarily want to be around killers of any shape or form - veterans or otherwise, as i tend to consider them all war criminals for partaking in the act of state-sponsored murder (denying federal assistance to low-income communities is a form of state-sponsored terrorism because of the destabilization it causes) also! do i have to watch what i say to avoid a military commission trial for my vapid dissent? huh? - GOOD LUCK!...
yes, i do not feel comfortable with the fact that these sometimes angry, mentally deranged veterans are going to come back and be out in the bars at night, drunk with hair-trigger fuses, ready to fight and receiving secret trials (if any at all) for their bar rooms brawls - or that we all have to pay taxes for the treatment of their unfortunate mental and physical disabilities for the the next 75 years, not to mention support their families as well - and all for a war that millions of people opposed! (around the world as well as in the US) - i also do not look forward to the military police-state which will be created by all the veterans who will return home to become nazi cops...furthermore; it is foolish to think the war in iraq is making me or anybody else more safe or secure, when it is in fact putting us all at risk for a variety of reasons; from the national debt which is spiraling out of control - to procrastination and foot dragging when it comes to finding real-time solutions to the global warming problem; every bomb dropped and every day of occupation pisses off more people who could come back to haunt the US later on down the line...something has got to give...
and! did you know that john wilkes booth was trained by the US military, and john allen mohammed as well?...how about timothy mcveigh? - that's right; some of our country's BIGGEST disasters were caused by military-trained individuals!...not to mention the fact that many military personnel are in fact gay (don't ask, don't tell? - you know; i have nothing against homosexuality, other than the fact that soldiers often take showers and walk around half-naked in their tighty whitey's together in the barracks, much like P.E. showers in high school, which i always hated - why can't we have co-ed showers in public schools to encourage heterosexuality instead of homosexuality in our young folks?) and the military personnel who aren't homosexual face strict laws against 'fraternization' (see: eunuch) - so what we have here is a bunch of highly-trained, heavily socially-engineered and sexually controlled, largely asexual and/or homosexual killers, laying in wait to murder innocent people in other countries (i'll bet you almost every killer on death row has a 'good' excuse for his or her actions) for new oil supplies and/or profits - gee; if that's not honorable, i don't know what is!...the bottom line is this; john lennon opposed war - therefore i oppose war...it's really that simple...
(LRE note: the problem i have with veterans is that they are much like a pack of domesticated dogs who come back to their respective homesteads and owners after a wild night ripping up sheep on neighbors' property; as they return smiling with their tails wagging and its' hard to be mad at them, much like cops in officer involved shootings who appear in court in front of cop-friendly judges)

>>> IN THE UPDATED OGN ARCHIVE II - excerpts from DRY/ICE: GLOBAL WARMING REVEALED <<< - "Let’s look at the facts; Two summers ago the North Pole completely melted for the first time in history that we know of. Both private and military ships floated directly over the actual North Pole, as it was completely water. This area has never been seen to be less then ten feet of solid ice. Greenpeace a few years ago announced that the North Pole’s winter to summer snow pack had receded by around three hundred miles, but no one listened. And today, as I am writing this article, we are witnessing the Alaska fire that has consumed over one million acres of forest. This fire is burning in an area that is always wet with rain or snow until now. And this fire, as you will understand in this article is directly related to the melting of the poles and the Gulf Stream -- But finally the Pentagon, thanks to Andrew Marshall, has told the truth in the Fortune magazine on February 9th. The Pentagon shows a satellite photo of the North Pole in 1970 and then in 2003, which reveals that, according to the Pentagon, 40% of the North Pole has melted in just 33 years. And it is melting faster and faster now. The Pentagon has now proven that all these government statements that the poles are not melting were simply a lie. And it is a lie more damaging than anything that Bush’s Iraq war could possibly throw at the United States" - go to ONLY GOOD NEWS - FEBRUARY/MAY 2005 VOLUME 13 NUMBER 1
> "The worst contingency plan has also been implemented and is at work right now. For many years they have been importing drugs and selling them to the people and mainly the poor and the minorities. Social Welfare programs were put into place to create a dependent non-working element of our society. They then began to remove the social welfare programs in order to develop a large criminal class that did not exist in the 1950's and early 60's. They encouraged the manufacture and importation of deadly firearms for the criminal element to use. This was intended to foster a feeling of insecurity which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws agains firearms. Incidents were to be staged to speed up the process. By using drugs and hypnosis in a process called Orion, on mental patients the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on school yards and thus inflame the anti-gun lobby. This plan is well underway and so far is working exactly as planned. This plan must not succeed" -- "Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation they will convince the American people that a state of anarchy exists within major cities. They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in the newspapers. When public opinion has been won over to this idea they intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the United States and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. The government will then suspend the constitution and declare martial law. The secret alien army of implanted humans and all dissidents, which translates into anyone they choose, (gang members, etc) will be rounded up and will be placed in concentration camps which already exist throughout the country. They are each 1 mile square. Are the people they intend to place in these concentration camps destined to make up the reported "batch consignments" of slave labor needed by the Space Colonists? The media, radio, TV, newspapers and computer networks will be nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be taken or killed. This entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in 1984 under the code name REX-84 and it went off without a hitch. When these events have transpired the Secret Government and/or Alien takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never be returned and you will live in slavery for the remainder of your life.

MASSIVE ICEBERG BREAKS OFF ANTARCTIC ICE SHELF / 26 mar 2008 - http://archives.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/05/09/iceberg.satellite/index.html
ANTARCTICA - LOOMING GLOBAL DISASTER? ~ THE END IS NEAR? - Possibly the greatest danger lies with the Ross Ice Shelf, a chunk of ice which is the largest mass of floating ice in Antarctica. The Ross shelf varies from 600 to 3,000 feet (182 to 915 meters) thick, covering an area about the size of France. It catches the outflow of several major glaciers and ice streams that drain ice from the continents interior. A massive collapse of the Ross Ice Shelf could, in one fell swoop, cause a measurable rise in sea levels, the researchers say. "We need to monitor the summertime temperatures to see what the future holds for these ice shelves," says Hulbe - read more @ http://ww.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/ice_melt_010117.html ~
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - BE COOL!
> THE EARTH HAS EXPERIENCED 50+ ICE AGES - so here is the inevitable scenario which has played itself out many times over; the ross ice shelf finally breaks loose and gravity slides the massive ice chunk down into the ocean, causing large waves washing salt water 100-500 miles up and over land on all continents, salinating california's central valley etc - and you know how salt is used to break up ice on icy roads?; this wave will then wash back up onto the remaining polar ice caps, breaking it up into smaller pieces that will then all slide into the ocean as well, causing ocean levels to rise even further - exxon and chevron CEOs will then start a battle to protect their mountaintop properties from hordes of hungry, angry displaced lowland dwellers - etc etc etc > LRE NOTE: I LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN, SO WHO GIVES A FUCK? - Question: could it be that many of the men and women who can do the most about the global warming situation (CEOs etc) live on elevated land that will not be affected by eventual rising sea levels?...also, how do women CEOs view environmental protections compared to men CEOs? / Answer: if a big enough tsunami wave comes along, it will wash completely over the mountain tops as it has done numerous times before; a) back in the sixth grade while at camp, my class excavated sea shells from the mountain side way up at the top of the santa cruz mountains; b) there have been about 50 plus ice ages; c) since the beginning of the industrial revolution about 150 years ago, global warming has suddenly increased considerably beyond the average snow melt since the ebbing of the last ice age around 12,000 years ago; d) could it be that melting ice could flood earthquake fault lines, in a sense lubricating them and causing increased geophysical and/or seismic activity?; e) game over, please push reset button? ~ "whether we are on the threshold of a golden age or on the brink of a global cataclysm that will extinguish our civilization is not only unknowable; but undecided" - EDWARD CORNISH ~ president of the world future society

MARIE THARP was a geologist and oceanographic cartographer who, along with her colleague Bruce Heezen, co-discovered the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, a line of undersea mountains that runs through Earth's oceans, and mapped the features of the entire ocean floor - Heezen and Tharp began working together to map the topography of the ocean floor in 1947 at the Lamont Geological Laboratory (now the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) at Columbia University in New York City. For the first 18 years of their collaboration, Heezen collected data aboard the Observatory's ship, the Vema, and Tharp drew the maps from that data. (Since traditionally, women were not allowed on board ships at that time, Tharp did not accompany Heezen on a data-collecting expedition until 1965.) Tharp also used data collected from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's research ship, the Atlantis, and seismographic data from undersea earthquakes. Their work represented the first systematic, comprehensive attempt to map the entire ocean floor - Heezen and Tharp published their first physiographic map of the North Atlantic in 1957. Their map of the entire ocean floor was published in 1977 (coincidentally, also the year of Heezen's death). Heezen and Tharp's discovery of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge helped pave the way for general acceptance of the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift - MARIE THARP X
> NIAGRA FALLS WEST - my brother once told me the continental shelf dropped off a few hundred feet from the shore of seabright beach in santa cruz, which tended to keep me close to shore (see photo above - note: my sister used to swim out to boats!) and if you look at SECTION X in the photo above (click here), this underwater ravine was probably formed through water erosion from the ancient SAN LORENZO RIVER (and/or NEARY LAGOON, SANTA CRUZ SMALL CRAFT HARBOR, TWIN LAKES, SCHWAN LAKE, CORCORAN LAGOON and MORAN LAKE etc, which were once rivers and/or sloughs, depending upon sea levels between ice ages) - SECTION Y was likely formed by the primordial PAJARO RIVER, ELKHORN SLOUGH, MORO COJO SLOUGH and the SALINAS RIVER etc, which once joined at this point as well -- in fact; during times of rapid glacial melting, the entire north american continent becomes an occasional 'giant river bed' of sorts, and these occasional deluges have left much evidence of this extreme water erosion -- good examples of this glacier-related erosion are: STONE MOUNTAIN in georgia, and the GRAND CANYON in arizona - which in the past has likely been filled to the brim and/or spilled over many times over -- due to this process, the area depicted in the photo above likely looked alot like NIAGRA FALLS in the canadian province of ontario (see photo below)...

Proclaiming,"If Humanity Wishes To Save Itself From Biospheric Destruction It Must Return To Living in Natural Time," he foretold of our accelerated technological society, and the resulting damage of our collective divergence from Natural Law in exchange for materialist values. Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflective consciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology - This grand cycle of evolution will culminate winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD - read more @ http://www.13moon.com/prophecy%20page.htm

LIVEEARTH.COM recently got an email about going green from Meghan in Cardiff by the Sea, CA - Meghan's ideas exemplify the kinds of change that we want to inspire in everyone who participated in Live Earth - Here are just a few of Meghan's tips: * Buy more local food. Go to the farmers' market at least 2 times/month * Use the dryer less. I recently washed several rugs. Instead of drying them, I hung them outside * Use less plastic bags. Bring my own reusable bags to grocery store. I bought 4 of the 99 cent bags at Trader Joe's and I'm keeping them in my car. They are great * Try to reduce packaging. Buy more bulk stuff, bring own bags * Buy less stuff, reduce amounts of "junk" plastic toys, especially battery operated toys * Minimize use of batteries, use rechargeable batteries * Unplug stuff you're not using - Read Meghan's entire posting in the Going Green Blog - What have you done because you were inspired by Live Earth? - Send us your stories and ideas to community@liveearth.org - we'll post the best of your ideas and suggestions on our Going Green Blog - Climate Crisis Solution #39: Plant A Tree!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- WMR has obtained a confidential "France Only" report of the French intelligence service, Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure (DGSE), that states that the CIA and Britain's MI-6 maintained effective control of an important Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan as late as 1995, fully two years after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, an attack that was launched with the help of Sudanese intelligence officers loyal to Osama Bin Laden. The CIA and MI6 permitted control of training operations at Darunta, an "Arab Afghan" base located near the camp of Osama Bin Laden and used to manufacture explosives and chemical weapons and train in their use, to pass to the control of Ibn Cheikh, a Libyan leader of Al Qaeda ~ The DGSE report, dated January 9, 2001, is classified "Defense Confidential" and "National (French) Use Only" states, "Besides the Maghreb enclave, the training at Darunta, which, for approximately 2 months, mainly involved the manufacture and the use of the explosives by terrorists. This training, initially provided at the camp of Khalden, in Paktia, was transferred during 1995, on the order of Ibn Cheikh, to Darunta, in order to slide [the training] from the control of the security services of certain countries, in particular the United States and the United Kingdom." - go to: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=MAD20060527&articleId=2523

AIDS: A SYNTHETIC BIOLOGICAL AGENT - OVER 40 MILLION SERVED!?!
A RECENTLY SURFACED DOCUMENT SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AIDS VIRUS WAS FUNDED THROUGH FUNDS OBTAINED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, WHICH REQUESTED AND RECEIVED $10 MILLION VIA HOUSE BILL HB 15090. REVIEWED IN HEARINGS BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS AT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' FIRST SESSION OF THE NINETY-FIRST CONGRESS IN 1970, PART FIVE OF HB 15090 WAS ENTITLED RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, AND WAS APPARENTLY SPONSORED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, THE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECT AGENCY (NOW DARPA) AND DEFENSE RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING. THE FEASIBILITY PROGRAM AND LABORATORIES WERE TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY 1974-1975 AND THE VIRUS BETWEEN 1974-1979. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) STARTED TO INJECT AIDS-LACED SMALLPOX VACCINE INTO OVER 100 MILLION AFRICANS IN 1977, AND OVER 2000 YOUNG WHITE MALE HOMOSEXUALS (OPERATION TROJAN HORSE) WERE ALLEGEDLY INJECTED WITH LACED HEPATITUS VACCINE IN 1978 THROUGH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND THE NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VIRUS APPARENTLY HAD A DUAL PURPOSE: (1) AS A POLITICAL/ETHNIC WEAPON TO BE USED AGAINST BLACK INDIVIDUALS AND (2) ONE OF THE PROGRAMMED EFFORTS AT DE-POPULATION. SOME FEEL HB15090 WAS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S REACTION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION AND THE 1960's BABY BOOM. THESE ACTIONS MAY HAVE HELPED TO BRING ABOUT THE U.S. BAN ON CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT IN 1972 - SEE DOCUMENT ~ LRE NOTES

OVERVIEW OF THE CELL PHONE EMF SITUATION - In 1993, a man filed a lawsuit against the cell phone industry, claiming that his wife died from a brain tumor caused by her repeated use of the cell phone. The tumor was on the same side of the head where she held her cell phone and was shaped like the cell phone antenna. The case got widespread media attention and was featured in CNN's Larry King show - Although the claim was dismissed by the court due to lack of sufficient evidence, it was a public relations nightmare for the wireless industry. It also marked the beginning of the global search for a definitive answer to the question: are cell phones safe or not? Does it cause cancer and other degenerative diseases? Brain cancer is up 25% since cell phones became popular. Every year, there are 183,000 more cases in the US alone. Some health experts say there's a link with cell phone use, but is there proof? - In an effort to defuse the negative publicity from the high-profile lawsuit, the cell phone industry funded a $25 million dollar research program to prove that cell phones are safe. After 6 years of intensive research, however, the results were not what they were looking for. Dr. George Carlo, the chief research scientist of the program, found evidence that cell phones pose some health risks, possibly even cancer. - The first evidence of cancer link that shook the cell phone industry came in 1997. Dr. Michael Repacholi and his colleagues from the Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia reported that long-term exposure to the type of radiation that comes from digital cell phones caused an increase in the occurrence of lymphoma in mice. The study received widespread international media attention because it was the first time that cancer has been linked to the cell phone in a well-conducted study.
In order to show a link between cell phone radiation and cancer, let's look at several studies Dr. Carlo investigated that made him blow the whistle, so to speak. These red-flag findings provide the pieces that fit together to form the cancer picture: 1) DNA Damage in Human Blood Studies - 2) Breakdown in the Blood-Brain Barrier - 3) Studies of Tumors in People Who Use Cell Phones - 4) Studies of Cell Phone Radiation Dosage and Response / read more @ http://getemfsafe.com/TheProblem.html

GetEMFSafe.com ~ Dr. George Carlo was the scientist funded with $25 million by the cell phone industry to research cell phone radiation and to prove through scientific studies that the phones are safe - After six years of study Dr. Carlo determined that cell phone radiation disrupted heart pacemakers, damaged the blood-brain barrier, penetrates the skulls of children and does genetic damage that can result in cancer - Dr. Carlo presented these findings to the cell phone industry and when he refused to recant the findings his research funds were cut-off and a publicity campaign to discredit him was put in effect - Dr. Carlo is extremely concerned about public health and has gone public with his information in the book (X) - READ MORE @ http://www.getemfsafe.com/Studies.html - or go to: http://www.GetEMFSafe.com/ - EM FIELDS @ http://www.gtweekly.com/08-23-07-/attack-of-the-killer-em-fields-2
IRRADIATED FOOD ~ It's baffling to think the nuclear industry and the global food industry would ever be linked. But they are. Now, the industries are trying to keep it a secret; right now, food treated with ionizing radiation must be labeled as "Treated with irradiation" or "Treated by radiation." But according to Food and Water Watch, the irradiation industry wants to misleadingly label these foods as "electronically pasteurized" or "cold pasteurized” - Many serious health problems have been observed in lab animals fed irradiated foods, including premature death, cancer, tumors, stillbirths, mutations, organ damage, immune system failure and stunted growth. In one experiment, genetic damage was detected in young children who ate irradiated wheat - Sign the petition today @ http://go.care2.com/e/R9Nb/in28/oCYb

CONFESSIONS
> one time i ordered a slice of pizza at the old pleasure pizza in santa cruz and went out to place a few cds on consignment at the streetlight records across the street then drove away and forgot to get the pizza! > one day last summer while waiting in line at an arco station in santa cruz, there was a hippy chick in front of me with a funny hat on savoring cheetos puffs one at a time - ever since then i have been buying cheetos puffs and savoring them one at a time > when i was in about third grade and with no one else around - i used to put on the beatles 'sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band (reprise)' and run around the living room playing air guitar with a cardboard guitar my brother made in music class at patrick henry intermediate school - years later i secretly found the guitar solo at the end of 'do you feel like we do' from 'framptom comes alive' to be rather inspiring as well (i now have an inflatable guitar that i sometimes play while i'm drunk and doing karaoke - and while i am mainly a drummer and singer; i also own an acoustic, electric and bass guitar) > one night a long time ago, i walked next door to visit my old friend gilbert martinez and found him playing air guitar along with a sammy hagar record - and he was so into it he didn't even know i was in the room until the end of the song!? > i sometimes throw used kleenex into my paper recycling bin > one friday night many years back me and some drunk friends climbed up on top of the stanford theatre's roof in palo alto! > when i was 18 years old my very first girlfriend and i used to 'do it' out in the peterson field in the summertime on full moon nights with a sleeping bag and a bottle of zinfandel wine > one time me and a friend were hanging around on the el camino real in santa clara in front of vesuvio's pizza when some chick ran up and pulled up her skirt in front of us and ran off - and she didn't have any underwear on! > one time some horny chick at a party came up to me and said 'wanna fuck?' - so i said 'yes!'...

APARTMENTRATINGS.COM has the most comprehensive database of apartment ratings and reviews that you will find anywhere! *Find out what tenants say BEFORE you sign a lease *370,217 ratings and reviews of apartments (14,492 added in the past month!) *The 95 Best Cities for Renters *a new blog called 'Oh My Apartment' to help renters live better, etc...For instance; Read some of the things renters wrote about the Lake Terrace Apartments in Santa Clara, California: > sample rating #1: "This is a really nasty place. I got trapped here in the boom time, because of availability and slightly lower rent - Some problems: - dirty pool: gets cleaned once a month - hot broken gym: in summer, it gets really uncomfortable. also almost all machines are broken - old club house: everything is *really* old (nothing gold) - rude management: the manager is a rude witch who is really snobbish (!) - dirty grounds: the leaf blower is dumb and does not know how to cleanup - broken appliances: the dishwasher, refrigerator and oven are old and broken - clogged up bathrooms: the drains do not know how to drain! - Please do yourself a favour and do not think about this place"...
> sample rating #2 - "My Rent check was late for the 1st time in 2 years (normally its 10 days EARLY!) because the new postal clerk didn't know there was a rental office at the main address and so returned it to my bank. While hand delivering a replacement check the old witch at the office asks me for a $50 late fee, and the office never returns a call. When you finally get someone to come to your house to fix something they come in while you are out and DONT even leave a note that they entered. My toilet has randomly started gurgling in the middle of the night and in two years they have done nothing to fix it so I have to turn the toilet inlet valve off every night before going to bed. The water presssure for the shower is weak and at least a dozen times without any explanation there has been no hot water in the morning. The owners are your classic rape and pillage slum lords who provide the most minimum level of service at the highest possible price. The management refuses to do anything about security even though cars are broken into almost weekly, including mine. Dont be suckered in by the pretty pond, its the only thing in this complex that works. Come by to visit but DONT RENT unless you like being a sucker" - read more reviews or go to: http://www.apartmentratings.com/
COFFEECUP SOFTWARE was started in 1996 in a real Coffee house that our Founder Nick Longo owned called The Raven and The Sparrow. Nick was a very sad part-time Webmaster back then because there was no real HTML Editor available to create cool Websites yet. One day after making a whole site in Notepad and serving Coffee through the drive-thru Nick became Zen-like and said in a hushed voice, "I need my own software to make better Websites for people". He began CoffeeCup Software with a relentless drive to do good for others with only $500 bucks in his lint filled pockets. Since he already had the www.coffeecup.com domain name for the Coffee joint, Nick called the first software program the CoffeeCup HTML Editor and he named the company CoffeeCup Software. Yes it happened, the company was named after the HTML Editor and the Website. Nick closed the little hot spot seeking shareware stardom just 2 months later - The rest is software history - read more @ http://www.coffeecup.com/

<> <> <> UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS and/or UFOs <> <> <>
THE FREEWILL EXPERIMENT - it all started long ago when ancient aliens enslaved the human race to (among other things) - a) mine gold in north africa needed to save their planet - and b) construct a global electromagnetic energy grid (the giza plateau in north africa; the mayan pyramids in south america; stonehenge in england; the rocks of carnac in france; the serpent mounds in north america; teotihuican in south america etc etc etc ) - gold perhaps inadvertenly and/or wrongfully turned into our modern money system (and our 8 trillion dollar national debt; the gold supply is finite - the human population is potentially infinite; do the math) because rumor has it that ingesting gold dust (and/or lack of pollution in the environment) was the key to the extended life spans of certain key biblical/historical figures (200+ years) - at the tower of babel; the human race was divided, given different languages; and sent in different directions to make them easier to control...the various modern governments of the world (and the largely government-controlled mainstream media system) perhaps inadvertently took over the original divisive and controlling role of the aliens using modified ancient 'atlantean' ideologies (X) and religions spawned from various extraterrestrial encounters; and the rest is history...
the aborigines are likely the last remnants of neanderthal; perhaps the original and/or aboriginal inhabitants of the earth; then came the 'native' americans from 'the misty planet to the blue planet' (according to comparative ancient 'native' american theological study); then the dogon tribe to south africa; the hebrews to the garden of E.DIN in ancient mesopotamia (now iraq); etc etc etc - the origin of the mayan race on the other hand - with their average 50% slower heartbeat than the rest of the human race, remain a mystery and could be 'the missing link' - there have been roughly 4-5 epochs of human existence on the earth during the last of the 50+ ice ages the earth has experienced, and varied DNA from those 4-5 epochs allegedly still exists mixed within the human race at large...
According to the narrative in Genesis Chapter 11 of the Bible, the Tower of Babel was a tower built by a united humanity to reach the heavens. Because the hearts of men were said to be inherently evil and disobedient, they were striving to make a name for themselves instead of worshipping the God who created them. Because of this open defiance, God stopped their efforts by confusing languages so that the builders could not understand one another. As a result, they could no longer communicate and the work was halted. The builders were then scattered to different parts of Earth. This story is used to explain the existence of many different languages and races - The story is found in Genesis 11:1-9 as follows: 1) And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech - 2) And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there - 3) And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar - 4) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth - 5) And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children builded - 6) And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do - 7) Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech - 8) So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city - 9) Therefore is the name of it called Babel (confusion); because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth - read more @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_babel

OUR HISTORY AND THE 1972 SIRIAN EXPERIMENT
> According to Sitchin's interpretation of the Sumerian texts in The 12th Planet, after the Nefilim created us to work in the gold mines in Africa, some of us were brought to Mesopotamia to help in the gardens in E.DIN. The "gods" loved us because, after all, we were made in their own image. But in the garden in E.DIN where the Nefilim had their orchards we were told not to eat the fruit of a certain tree called the tree of knowledge. We disobeyed. Eating this fruit and gaining its "knowledge" was significant because it gave us the ability to reproduce sexually. Up until this point we were hybrids, a cross between two different species, and like all hybrids we were incapable of reproduction. Sitchin interprets the Sumerian texts as saying we are a cross between the Nefilim and Homo erectus, the predecessor of Homo sapiens. It is through Thoth that we get the additional information about the role of the beings from Sirius...
Not surprisingly, the Nefilim did not want us reproducing. They wanted to maintain control of their own experiment. The knowledge we gained from eating the fruit was not scientific as such; it was the knowledge of how to procreate, how to turn ourselves from sterile hybrids into a new species fully capable of reproducing. The Nefilim were angry when we gained the ability to reproduce, and they made us leave the garden. According to scholars of ancient texts, the Sumerian records precede the Biblical records, and the Biblical creation stories seem to be just a summary of older Sumerian texts - read the entire document @ http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/drunfris.html - Take action NOW!
LRE NOTE: ONE CANNOT IGNORE SOUND ARCHAELOGICAL EVIDENCE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT FIT INTO ONE'S PRE-CONCEIVED NOTION OF 'WHAT IS' - it's looking more and more like many humans (except neanderthal and/or the aborigines and/or the aboriginal peoples of the earth) are simply not indigenous to this planet and this is the main reason why we cannot seem to live sustainably within it (for instance; you can say the aborigines are rural - etc, but you cannot blame them for global warming) - and! we just had many years of massive UFO document declassification during the clinton era that blew the lid off all this UFO stuff, so you cannot simply put the lid back on all of this and ignore it...americans are sorely behind many other parts of the world when it comes to recognizing the UFO phenomenon simply because the US government and/or hollywood spends so much time and money debunking and making fun of this very real phenomenon - (in fact; the US government recently spent somewhere around $4 billion dollars of YOUR TAX DOLLARS in one year alone on debunking the UFO phenomenon, to keep us all like little mushrooms; kept in the dark and fed bullshit)...
AND! with the whole world coming apart due to the misunderstanding and bastardization of biblical texts, you would think people would take this newfound archaeological knowledge and use it for enlightenment or to create harmony and newfound understanding amongst themselves, instead of ignoring it altogether to keep us all in the dark, fighting over our misunderstandings and/or going on thinking that consentual sex is a sin punishable by eternal condemnation, jail time and/or sex offender registries, for instance...in fact; sex is a normal, healthy part of the human experience, and until we treat it this way, we will have the trouble that we do in our society...after all; we did not have the sexual revolution to have it hijacked by modern feminism and/or any other form of discriminatory religious extremism - SEX IS INHERENTLY GOOD & VIOLENCE IS INHERENTLY EVIL...

SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUIET WARS
General Energy Concepts - In the study of energy systems, there always appears three elementary concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts called passive components.
> In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of potential energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can be represented by a stretched spring ~ In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiffness > In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion ~ In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of inertia > In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts energy into heat ~ In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element called either a resistor or a conductor, the term "resistor" being the one generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The property of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance reciprocals - READ MORE @ http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/silent_weapons_quiet_wars.htm
WORLD GOVERNMENT FRONTS ~ PSYCHO-SOCIAL CHANGE AGENTS
An octopus of Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Tax-Exempt Foundations, Think Tanks, Multinational Corporations and the Media Establishment practice the subtle science of persuasion. In the last two hundred years there isn't a single area of society that hasn't been influenced by facilitators of transformation education. For complete control of the masses a dictatorship is not necessary, although it does expedite the process. The collective moulding begins early in life, sustained and refined throughout one's formal education; a universal curriculum of manipulation can transform and achieve a complete paradigm shift for a whole generation - read more @ http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/social_change_agents.htm
The Ruling Class-Sponsored Race War and the Balkanization of America Part Two: Is California Ground Zero?
In part one we presented evidence suggesting the Minutemen project was being radicalized by white supremacists and certain leading lights in the power elite. This radicalization process is meant to undermine efforts to restore America's border integrity and to manufacture a politically expedient race war. Radicalized border activists and Chicano radicals are being set up to enter into conflict with one another. California seems to be the ideal staging grounds for the beginning of this conflict - Ground Zero: California - read more @ http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Commentary/Ground_Zero.htm - other related stories: (1 2 3 4 ~ X X X) - (LRE NOTE: race riots and/or ethnic tensions which occur during US wartime involvement are no accident - the ruling class and/or the government and/or fox news and/or the mainstream media in general and/or hollywood and/or billy clubs and/or violent cops do more to create race riots than any prison gang - race riots act as a destabilization agent to divide racially diverse west coast voters for republican party-pooping political purposes...
> 10 apr 2007 / RACE WAR WATCH X - DEDICATED TO HEADING OFF RACE WARS HERE IN AMERICA ~ because the US government and/or mainstream media is constantly at work destabilizing the US populace by purposefully re-seeding racially inflammatory words into the mainstream media to essentially turn us against each other and whip us all into a frenzy to distract us from their often questionable antics (see segment below) RACE WAR WATCH has been created to ward off any destabilization of democratic voting blocs due to this purposeful distraction (question: if words are so abhorrent, why are they being repeated 1000 times a day on TV?) for instance; people should be more concerned about violence and/or the 100 vehicular-related deaths per day - but many instead seem more worried about 'questionable' speech, then resort to violence as an answer to that questionable speech (!?) when the truth is; violence is not only unacceptable but also highly illegal, and speech in all forms - no matter how 'abhorrent' - remains fully legal...the first amendment of the US constitution is THE LAW OF THE LAND - and NO ONE is above that law...it is just as unacceptable to silence a middle eastern woman in a 'third world country' as it is to silence your fellow americans, so let's stop being pawns of the illuminati and let each other speak freely! - from the dixie chicks to imus we are constantly bombarded with a subtle mainstream media message of censorship because the mainstream media is not free to speak like, oh let's say; your average blogger - but CENSORSHIP IS UNAMERICAN! SO TEACH THE FIRST AMENDMENT! @ http://www.teachfirstamendment.org/
LRE NOTE: similarly; every spring the media finds an alleged rape -- which usually ends up being a bogus claim, but it really doesn't matter because it's all about sending a divisive male/female message more than anything else -- and blows it way out of proportion to divide the sexes for social engineering purposes, as a form of birth control if you will - and making everybody a potential sex offender doubles up on this to ensure nothing but proper christian sex occurs amongst the masses - it seems at the present the US government is more concerned about porno masturbators [for instance] than those who commit violent crimes - so whether you have violent christian fundamentalists like the bush administration, or the taliban running your society [which is essentially what is going on here in america via-911]; forced imposition of religious ideals upon others is and always will be unacceptable...
> 21 may 2007 / MIND CONTROL WATCH X X X X ~ everybody knows the first amendment is the law of the land here in america, and that no one is above the law - but mainstream media journalists [who cannot speak their minds due to the wishes of stockholders etc] want to silence us all based upon their own limitations, and this is wrong - therefore MIND CONTROL WATCH has been created to fight back against the evil of censorship by encouraging mainstream media outlets to run pro-environment pieces instead of stories chastising people for their words - latest entries: X X ~ THE FIRST AMENDMENT X - BE A TRUE INDIVIDUAL! - END THE GROUPTHINK WITH MIND CONTROL WATCH! - stop mind control addiction with environmental news! > ONE LAW: 'THIS IS AMERICA AND YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT ~ AND IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT...
> 30 nov 2006 / PLEASE SHOW RESTRAINT - the balance of power within the US congress has shifted, and now someone wants a race riot...the police are being stripped of their newfound bush administration ability to treat people like dogs and violate their civil rights, so everything from crooked 'illuminati' cops (see segment below) - to the fox news channel are mad as hell about it (click here: X) - i encourage the media to show restraint during this trying time and avoid causing any more racial tension than it already has in the past few weeks...unless you want to bring racial unrest up into beverly hills again (like it appears you do) i would suggest that we all collectively try to avoid another rodney king-like situation because all it really does is; - a) destabilize our west coast democratic voting bloc, and; - b) serve the bush administrations' developers who come in afterwards and rebuild the town destroyed by all the anger caused by republican presidential administration neglect...
> 27 nov 2006 - updated 13 jan 2007 / GOOD QUESTION: why does everyone seem to be more concerned about kramer's rude comments than the latest officer involved shootings where african american lives were senselessly lost?...and there are literally thousands of registered sex offenders, many or most of which are caucasian, so why do we hear so much about carey verse? - could it be that institutionalized racism within our government is the root cause of most racial tension within our society, and either no one wants to admit it or many people are just too stupid and/or distracted to see it? - the bush administration has planted the seeds of race war (and fascism) ~ please don't water the seeds (paula zahn & vh1) - 'republicans are going to use sex and race and everything in order to cling to power - losing power is their worst fear' - arianna huffington (rolling stone magazine ~ issue 1015) - 'united we stand ~ divided we fall' - roger waters
> 24 jan 2007 / LRE NOTE: the arrests of ex-black liberation party members who allegedly killed a cop back in 1971 are not only carefully timed to stir-up racial tensions and create another race riot here in this diverse voting bloc; but they also work to distract from the vast ineptitude shown by the SFPD as of late (the treatment of those singers from yale, for instance)...on one hand; the message is this; the SFPD royally fucked up and now everybody knows it, but just don't get TOO mad about it because they will hunt your ass down if it takes until the end of time - but on the other hand, the contradictive message is this; a cop can blow any of our heads off and get a paid vacation w/retirement pay - so i'll say it once again; violence against the police will only end when police violence ends, because as long as cops are allowed to violate the civil rights of the people they are sworn to protect and serve, they will very likely continue to be violated in return, as NO ONE is exempt from karmic retribution and/or blowback...the problem is that when crime and violence ends in any given society and police are federally-mandated to practice non-violence, like during the 1990s - those same police struggle to find a reason to exist as federal funds drop off (like all those jaywalking tickets issued by the SJPD during the 1990s crime lull) so crime and violence actually alternately keeps the police force alive while also bringing death to it's members, and this is a situation that must change...long ago i did not understand why race riots occurred, i just thought they were small societal fires that somehow got out of control and spread into wildfire - but now i realize that the various race riots and unrest our country has experienced over that last century have been generated purposefully to destabilize diverse democratic voting blocs, and create necessary distraction chaos...why else would federal agents swarm into the new speaker of the house's territory and haul off several african-americans in a high profile set of arrests?...come on, i'm not stupid! - but! with knowledge of this purposeful activity on the part of the illuminati we can all learn to not let it dominate the mainstream media, and therefore subvert the federal government's evil and subversive motives...

This is a career I have been pursuing, at the exclusion of everything else, for almost 15 years now on a full time basis. During this time I have compiled overwhelming and irrefutable evidence that verify a second form of human communication exists, imbedded backwards into the sounds of human speech. This form of communication reveals the total thoughts of the speaker at the time, both conscious and unconscious - At the recent request of Art Bell I performed an analysis of the speech of two NASA scientists, Don Savage and Ray Veillard. The results of my analysis are posted on my web site. Prior to this time, I had no contact with NASA, very little knowledge about the US space program, and/or the rumors of hidden missions and other ventures. I approach my work with an open and clear mind and document exactly what I find with no editing and as little personal bias as possible. Since my analysis of the NASA scientists was broadcast on the Art Bell program on Friday June the 6th 1997, I have been informed that my conclusions are remarkably similar to what Richard Hoagland has been saying for years - read more @ http://www.enterprisemission.com/oates.html ~ ARE YOU BEING DELPHIED? - click here
The Origins of the Overclass - By Steve Kangas
“In 1999, a journalist [Steve Kangas] who had written exposes of Richard Scaife was by all appearances murdered in the Oxford Centre of Pittsburgh, PA - the office complex of the foundation of his subject - Scaife. Richard Mellon Scaife is the heir of the Mellon fortune and a major funder of the Heritage Foundation and other right wing organizations, although, like the Coors family, Scaife also funds abortion and gay rights organizations. Shortly before his death in February 1999, Kangas catalogued the gruesome accomplishments of the CIA and issued a scathing indictment of their paymasters - the very elites who created the CNP!” - The Council For National Policy
The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s that these methods coalesced into a superbly organized, cohesive and efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere - The origins of this machine, interestingly enough, can be traced back to the CIA. This is not to say the machine is a formal CIA operation, complete with code name and signed documents. (Although such evidence may yet surface — and previously unthinkable domestic operations such as MK-ULTRA, CHAOS and MOCKINGBIRD show this to be a distinct possibility.) But what we do know already indicts the CIA strongly enough. Its principle creators were Irving Kristol, Paul Weyrich, William Simon, Richard Mellon Scaife, Frank Shakespeare, William F. Buckley, Jr., the Rockefeller family, and more. Almost all the machine's creators had CIA backgrounds - During the 1970s, these men would take the propaganda and operational techniques they had learned in the Cold War and apply them to the Class War. Therefore it is no surprise that the American version of the machine bears an uncanny resemblance to the foreign versions designed to fight communism. The CIA's expert and comprehensive organization of the business class would succeed beyond their wildest dreams. In 1975, the richest 1 percent owned 22 percent of America’s wealth. By 1992, they would nearly double that, to 42 percent — the highest level of inequality in the 20th century - How did this alliance start? go to: http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Overclass.htm - (LRE NOTE: thank goodness i dropped out of high school when i did!)
“The main features of the Weishaupt plan of operation required his Illuminati to do the following things to help them to accomplish their purpose: 1. Monetary and sex bribery was to be used to obtain control of men already in high places in the various levels of all governments and other fields of endeavor. Once influential persons had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati, they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and physical harm, even death to themselves and loved members of their families. - 2. The Illuminati who were on the faculty of colleges and universities were to cultivate students possessing exceptional mental ability and who belonged to well-bred families with international leanings, and recommend them for special training in Internationalism. Such training was to be provided by granting scholarships, like the Rhodes Scholarship, to those selected by the Illuminati. All such scholars were to be first persuaded and then convinced that men of special talent and brains had the right to rule those less gifted on the grounds that the masses do not know what is best for them physically, mentally, and spiritually. - 3. All influential people who were trapped to come under the control of the Illuminati, plus the students who had been specially educated and trained, were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of all governments as experts and specialists. They would advise the top executives to adopt policies which would, in the long run, serve the secret plans of the Illuminati's one world conspiracy, and bring about the destruction of the governments and religions they were elected or appointed to serve. - 4. They were to obtain absolute control of the press so that all news and information could be slanted to convince the masses that a one world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems. They were also to own and control all the national radio and TV channels. - After reading these four points of strategy, we have to admit that our mass communications media is controlled at all levels, and that at all levels our governments are also infiltrated and controlled, just like Weishaupt had planned back in the 1700's. Unfortunately, few people are aware of this fact, which is why they make little sense out of many of the world events that take place today.” — Myron Fagan
"I see the power game resting on three levels of force and fraud. First, earliest and still most powerful is the government racket itself, the monopoly on force (military power, police power, etc.) which allows the governing group to take tribute (taxation) from the enslaved or deluded masses. Second, derivative from this primordial conquest, is the landlord racket, the mammalian monopoly on territory which allow's the king's relations (lords-of-the-land) or their successors, today's "land-lords," to take tribute (rent) from those who live within the territory. Rent is the daughter of taxation; the second degree of the same racket. Third, the latest in historical time, is the usury racket, the monopoly on the issue of currency which allows the money lords to take tribute (interest) on the creation of money or credit, and on the continuous circulation of the money or credit every step of the way. Interest is the son of rent, the rent of money. Since most people engaged in nefarious practices are, in my opinion, very loathe to acknowledge what they are doing, and are addicted to the same hypocrisies as the rest of humanity, I think all power groups quite sincerely believe that what they are doing is proper, and that anybody who attacks them is a revolutionary nut. Outside of the Klingons on Star Trek, I have never encountered a real predator who justifies himself on Stirnerite or Machiavellian grounds. I really think Saroyan was right, naïve as it sounds, in saying that "every man is a good man in his own eyes." - Robert Anton Wilson @ http://www.rawilson.com/papers.shtml

did one of the largest x-ray gamma bursts on record occur on december 27th, 2004 as a result of the recent tsunami on december 26th, 2004 when the energies of nearly 300,000 humans and countless animals were thrust into another dimension all at once?...is it perhaps the hyper-dimensional space-time boundary just north of heaven, magnetic signature of a higher level state space? - the space-time continuum, continued? > (Two classes of rotating neutron stars—soft -ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars—are magnetars1, whose X-ray emission is powered by a very strong magnetic field (B 1015 G). SGRs occasionally become 'active', producing many short X-ray bursts. Extremely rarely, an SGR emits a giant flare with a total energy about a thousand times higher than in a typical burst2, 3, 4. Here we report that SGR 1806−20 emitted a giant flare on 27 December 2004 - The total (isotropic) flare energy is 2 1046 erg, which is about a hundred times higher than the other two previously observed giant flares. The energy release probably occurred during a catastrophic reconfiguration of the neutron star's magnetic field. If the event had occurred at a larger distance, but within 40 megaparsecs, it would have resembled a short, hard-ray burst, suggesting that flares from extragalactic SGRs may form a subclass of such bursts) - GO TO: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v434/n7037/abs/nature03525.html

[a good example is this: when you push an ashtray on one side; the other side moves as well] - underground nuclear testing is much like lighting a firecracker in a bottle; [click here to see an exploded bottle i recently found] - emanating energy is more constricted and therefore reverberates through the earth, unlike energy emanated from atmospheric testing which has only wind resistance - both forms of nuclear testing are equally dangerous, just in different ways; underground nuclear tests poison subterranean water supplies; and atmospheric nuclear tests pollute the air we breath etc)

>>> Here at "Camp StopLFAS" we like to tell stories around the fire at night. One tall tale is about our Camp Mascot, Chicken Little. I'll bet that some of you didn't even know we had a mascot. Well, we do! It's important to have a mascot for luck. You see, when we approached a few of our fellow community members about the notion of posing for this role; the dolphins immediately objected that they might be stereo-typed if one of them became our mascot. And dolphins, as you know, are very sensitive as to what they must endure in stereo -- When approached on the matter, the sea otters said they'd rather eat fresh water mud clams, as they sometimes do when avoiding sounds in the open ocean; rather than be our mascot. So we took that as a "no." Even the nesting shore birds, who continue to express concern about the reverberations of shoreline activities all refused to be our mascot! - And then, lo and behold! We had a volunteer who was none other than Chicken Little! It was a dark and stormy night when there was a discernable pecking at the door. Cautiously, I asked, "Who is it?"..."Chicken!" -- "Chicken Who?" -- "Chicken - as in "Are you too chicken to talk about the stuff that's over your head?"...
Thus began a conversation about that which is beyond my comprehension and could be falling down on us - As it turns out, Chicken Little was looking for a podium from which one staunch feather could be pointed upwards. Accustomed to being ignored and entirely pish-posed, I could see that this bird had qualities I liked. There's that persistence factor, for one thing. And Chicken Little is quite adept at running around and sounding the alarm while the rest of us ponder and are amused. These are good qualities in a mascot. One of the things you might not have considered about Chicken Little is his work to try to get the other animals to organize. Very pre-Orwellian! -- So here at Camp StopLFAS, we sometimes talk about our mascot, Chicken Little, who of course refuses to appear out in the open without his air-raid helmet. As it happens, Chicken Little is well acquainted with weather as a weapon of war and tells me that various invasive technologies deserve our complete attention. Of course, all of that is above my head! -- Contemplatively, there are several web sites which are dedicated to the task of debunking modern myths. But few of us make it a task to draw attention to a matter for the sake of creating a modern myth...or to draw a parallel between a modern circumstance and a traditional children's myth. Chicken Little is happy to volunteer for such a task so long as he gets to say, "The Sky is Falling!" - And the sky isn't only falling. It's thumping down KERSPLATT! - Just have a look at that Cyclone today!
How come storms of such extreme magnitudes are happening with increasing regularity? - Maybe it's a myth that if you stir up enough dust or enough trouble, you can seed the clouds with particles around which moisture may condense? - Maybe it's a myth that multi-national naval exercises are sending wonkiness into the skies? - Maybe it's a myth that there are International treaties which are supposed to prevent nations from implementing conditions which could cause extremen weather to deliberately occur? - Everyone talks about the weather. Maybe it's time we added something to that conversation? - Maybe we can convey some urgency behind the message that there's a need to focus on peaceful intent? Perhaps, if we heed even a little bit of what Chicken Little has been saying all along; people would stop to consider if a demonstration of peaceful intention could be a better choice than endlessly conducting war games? If people began to associate extreme weather with activities promulgated by military mayhem; would they in fact be myth-taken? Or dead-on accurate? -- On this occasion, Chicken Little has stated that the sky is indeed falling because of the gravity of the situation. Relative to this matter, here are the headlines. Make of them what you will after a brief pause to consider what I believe to be an important quotation -- ANONYMOUS
MYANMAR CYCLONE KILLS 350 - Reuters / Published: 4 may 2008 >> As soldiers and police tried to clear streets and find victims beneath the rubble of fallen buildings, relief experts scrambled in neighboring Thailand in case the junta -- normally deeply distrustful of the outside world -- asked for help -- "It was a direct hit on a major city," said Terje Skavdal, regional head of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) -- "The government did warn people to stay inside and that might have had an impact, but the material damage is enormous," Skavdal said. The U.N. had yet to receive a response from the junta to its official offer of help, he added -- It remains to be seen what impact the storm will have on a referendum on an army-drafted constitution scheduled for May 10 - go to: http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=1f7b2eac-2e8b-4866-ac7e-b0b86d95265e&k=5148&p=2 & http://tinyurl.com/4uv4fs >>>

> NOTE: in the early 1900s, Dr. Duncan MacDougall sought to measure the weight purportedly lost by a human body when the soul departed upon death - MacDougall weighed dying patients in an attempt to prove that the soul was material, tangible and thus measurable. These experiments are wrongfully considered to have little, if any scientific merit, and MacDougall's results varied considerably from 21 grams, but for some people this figure has become synonymous with the measure of a soul's mass - 21 GRAMS @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_grams
Dr. MacDougall postulated the soul was material and therefore had mass (energy = mass), therefore a measurable drop in the weight of the deceased would be noted at the moment this essence parted ways with the physical remains. The belief that human beings are possessed of souls which depart their bodies after death and that these souls have detectable physical presences were around well before the 20th century, but claims that souls have measurable mass which falls within a specific range of weights can be traced to experiments conducted by Dr. MacDougall in 1907...
Seeking to determine "if the psychic functions continue to exist as a separate individuality or personality after the death of brain and body," Dr. MacDougall constructed a special bed in his office "arranged on a light framework built upon very delicately balanced platform beam scales" sensitive to two-tenths of an ounce. He installed upon this bed a succession of six patients in the end stages of terminal illnesses (four from tuberculosis, one from diabetes, and one from unspecified causes); observed them before, during, and after the process of death; and measured any corresponding changes in weight. He then attempted to eliminate as many physiological explanations for the observed results as he could conceive:
1) The patient's comfort was looked after in every way, although he was practically moribund when placed upon the bed. He lost weight slowly at the rate of one ounce per hour due to evaporation of moisture in respiration and evaporation of sweat. During all three hours and forty minutes I kept the beam end slightly above balance near the upper limiting bar in order to make the test more decisive if it should come. At the end of three hours and forty minutes he expired and suddenly coincident with death the beam end dropped with an audible stroke hitting against the lower limiting bar and remaining there with no rebound. The loss was ascertained to be three-fourths of an ounce.
2) This loss of weight could not be due to evaporation of respiratory moisture and sweat, because that had already been determined to go on, in his case, at the rate of one sixtieth of an ounce per minute, whereas this loss was sudden and large, three-fourths of an ounce in a few seconds. The bowels did not move; if they had moved the weight would still have remained upon the bed except for a slow loss by the evaporation of moisture depending, of course, upon the fluidity of the feces. The bladder evacuated one or two drams of urine. This remained upon the bed and could only have influenced the weight by slow gradual evaporation and therefore in no way could account for the sudden loss...

QUESTION: was the extreme weather of the winter of 2005 caused by massive amounts of energy emanating from those taken by the tsunami? - it is said that a human body loses about 21 grams at the point of 'death' - what is 21 grams x 286,000? - do the math - that is a whole lot of energy to be released all at once into the atmosphere - the earthquake that triggered the tsunami released the energy of 100 billion tons of TNT - more than the power of a thousand 1-megaton hydrogen bombs - i did some independent research a few years back regarding this phenomenon @ http://www.likroper.com/onlygoodv8n1.htm - so check it out...scroll down to the PERHAPS section...one of the main goals of my research was to show that collateral damage from distant warfare is far beyond what government physicists care to admit, and eventually bring an end to the evils of warfare etc ONCE AND LITERALLY FOR ALL...it might not happen until long after my demise, but at least i have planted the seed...did you know that albert einstein's research was not fully acknowledged until 25 years after he came up with the E=MC2 equation?...or that einstein was a high school drop-out like me?...in a sense; you can consider my independent energy research somewhat of an arcane extension of einstein's work...
> is it just a coincidence that a tornado hit indianapolis' monument circle shortly after 80,000 people attended a john mellencamp concert on april 2nd, 2006? - or that california has not seen such a deluge as the winter of 2005 since the beginning of the first world war in 1915 - or that the winter of 1944 in germany put about ten feet of snow over the whole country and helped bring an end to the war right as thousands of jews were being killed in concentration camps? - what about the cold snap that lasted 550 years and caused the little ice age in northern europe starting back around 1300 A.D., right at the onset of the bubonic plague in europe?...what about that!?!...anyone in the meteorological profession who is still in doubt about this phenomenon should either quit their job or admit that they are just plain closed-minded...what i am talking about is a geophysical-meteorological-spiritual-astronomical connection...yes, i am saying many scientists are closed-minded and spouting half-truths and all the other zealots in organized religion have been totally misguided - the agnostics can no longer say they do not know - and the atheists are all full of crap...the only problem is that it is way too simple...when society finally sees that i am right, you will hopefully all someday thank me - until then i expect all you unhappy campers to secretly disagree with me from your different camps...
it's time to WAKE UP and breathe in the spirit...

THE LAW OF ONE ~ Mention in "The Law of One" - In The Law of One, Book I, a book purported to contain conversations with a channeled "social memory complex" known to humans as "Ra," when the questioner asks where Edgar Cayce received his information, the answer received is, "We have explained before that the intelligent infinity is brought into intelligent energy from eighth density or octave. The one sound vibratory complex called Edgar used this gateway to view the present, which is not the continuum you experience but the potential social memory complex of this planetary sphere. The term your peoples have used for this is the "Akashic Record" or the "Hall of Records." - read more @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_Records
ONE LAW - do what you will but harm none ~ everything you do - good or bad - shall return in threes...
ZERO/ONE/TWO/THREE ~ 0) zero is said to represent absolutely nothing and everything all at one time - it is the circle of infinity and/or the cyclical nature of things, and nothing at all...abstract mayan logic stated; 'one divided by infinity equals zero' and renata kallosh said; 'i want my four dimensional canonical gravity to be one at infinity', both seemingly distant/arcane expressions of zero. nothing - 1) the number one can symbolize the idea of one god or one spirit which moves through everything - akhunaton saw this around 1355 B.C. in egypt, disrupting religions by telling people priests were not necessary, that god was within them, and that if they simply learned to breath correctly, everything would be just fine - though egypt had the strongest army in the world, he ordered them to stay within their borders and respond only if attacked - they despised him because they adored their religions, even though they were a mess of contradictions - he told them there would be one religion for egypt, and no one wanted to hear that - this example paved the way for others with similar monotheistic philosophies of one god to come along later, such as jesus christ - 2) the number two expresses duality or the two sides to every coin -- the double edged sword of duality is seen everywhere in nature, and is present on a variety of levels -- some theoretical physicists see this as the 'theory of everything', in that a 'new' symmetry called duality is redefining what physicists consider a fundamental particle in which elementary objects now seem to be made up of the very particles they create, which may lead to an explanation of quantum mechanics -- duality can be found in the nature of god in that the things we like about the universe are thought to be good, and the others bad -- the bookends of life are sex and death; night and day; up and down; male and female; cells divide in half initially, right and left brain; etc -- but what about the corpus callosum? what about your perspective on things? -- while two is definitely a big one, it is not but one and one - 3) three is a sacred number...the ancient riddle of the sphinx divided man into three parts; child, adult and codger...the old law of threes in the folk tales meant that what is told, or done, three times is the truest...there are three graces and three furies...freud's three parts of the human personality; the id, the ego and the superego - for christians, the holy trinity...three pyramids on the giza plateau; three wishes; third's a charm; the three stooges; harm none and the witchs' law of threes (wicca predates christianity in europe): 'whatever you do, good or bad, comes back to you three times --- think three times --- read more @ http://likroper.com/v4n4p2.htm and/or WICCA.COM + WICCAN REDE @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiccan_Rede

One of the most astonishing facts of the age we find ourselves living in is how, in the short span of less than a single died-at-a-ripe-old-age human lifetime, a man-made toxicity of such magnitude -- the likes of which are anomalous to anything heretofore manifested by the hand of man -- has been unleashed upon all life here, with its lethal, biological burden now a fact for upwards of millions upon millions of years - go to: http://www.ratical.org/radiation/inetSeries/ > FACTOID: Americans living near coal-fired power plants are exposed to higher radiation doses than those living near nuclear power plants that meet government regulations - http://ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/rev26-34/text/colmain.html > The amount of thorium contained in coal is about 2.5 times greater than the amount in uranium.

WHAT ME WORRY?
Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
“you cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war”…”the pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service”…“it may affront the military-minded person to suggest a reqime that does not maintain any military secrets”…“if you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor”…“i know not with what weapons world war III will be fought, but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones”…“there are only two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle - the other is as though everything is a miracle”…“imagination is more important than knowledge”…"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe"..."Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence"..."Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods"...

PALEOPURITANISM and NEOPURITANISM ~ As psychologist Theodore Schroeder pointed out, "obscenity" is the modern form of "black magic." Both concepts are operationally meaningless; there is no instrument which, pointed at a book or painting, will tell how much "black magic" or "obscenity" is in it. These things are in the nervous system of the observer. Attributing them to books, art, ideas, etc., in the external world, and seeking to punish the perpetrators, is the same kind of hallucination that produced the witch-hunts in which nine million innocents were killed. Clarification of this issue explains what the Buddhists mean by "maya." One could lead a group of both old Puritans and new Puritans through a gallery featuring photographs of flowers without any problem arising, even though flowers are the genitals of plants, as everyone who passed Botany 101 knows. However, try to navigate that group through an exhibit of photos of animal genitalia and almost anything could happen, when the emotional imprints are activated. The external stimuli (natural sexuality) are the same, but the imprints are different. Contemplation of this parable should clarify what Buddha meant in saying that most people see only their own "maya" and never experience objective fact at all. Of course, if the exhibit featured human genitalia... a great deal of angry speech about "smut" from the first group and "sexism" from the second would be heard. All of this speech would confuse the internal glandular-emotional emergency imprint with the objective external stimuli, and there would be a desire to punish the photographer - source: http://www.rawilson.com/papers.shtml - CHECK OUT ELMO AS BORAT
Mario Savio's speech before the FSM sit-in
Editorial note: This is the conclusion of Mario Savio's memorable speech, before Free Speech Movement demonstrators entered Sproul Hall to begin their sit-in on December 3, 1964. His climactic words about "the operation of the machine" have been quoted widely ever since, out of context, as the existential emblem of the FSM. (Or mis-quoted, since he said "passively" rather than "tacitly.") The beginning of Savio's talk -- about the technical details of the failed negotiations and the administration's reprisal -- has never been transcribed. We hope to make it available soon, for it provides a fuller view of the balance of thought and feeling in his speech, and in the FSM ~ "We have an autocracy which runs this university. It's managed. We asked the following: if President Kerr actually tried to get something more liberal out of the Regents in his telephone conversation, why didn't he make some public statement to that effect? And the answer we received -- from a well-meaning liberal -- was the following: He said, "Would you ever imagine the manager of a firm making a statement publicly in opposition to his board of directors?" That's the answer! Now, I ask you to consider: if this is a firm, and if the Board of Regents are the board of directors, and if President Kerr in fact is the manager, then I'll tell you something: the faculty are a bunch of employees, and we're the raw material! But we're a bunch of raw material[s] that don't mean to have any process upon us, don't mean to be made into any product, don't mean to end up being bought by some clients of the University, be they the government, be they industry, be they organized labor, be they anyone! We're human beings! ~ There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. Now, no more talking. We're going to march in singing "We Shall Overcome." Slowly; there are a lot of us. Up here to the left -- I didn't mean the pun." - Mario Savio

> 30 may 2005 / THE USA PATRIOT ACT - The FBI and local police are engaging in intimidation based on political association and are improperly investigating law-abiding human rights and advocacy groups, according to documents obtained by the ACLU through a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed last week...The ACLU charged that the FBI is wrongfully withholding thousands of pages of documents, and filed a lawsuit on May 18 in federal court to compel the FBI to comply with the FOIA requests. The few documents received to date through the December FOIA requests shed light on the FBI’s misuse of Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) to engage in political surveillance...The FOIAs seek two kinds of information: the actual FBI files of groups and individuals targeted for speaking out; and information about how the practices and funding structure of the JTTFs may be encouraging rampant and unwarranted spying..."The FBI is taking tax dollars and resources established to fight terrorism and instead spying on innocent Americans who have done nothing more than speak out or practice their faith," Beeson said..."By recruiting the local police into these activities, they are also sowing dissent and suspicion in communities around the country"...The JTTF partnerships between the FBI and local police, in which local officers are "deputized" as federal agents, are intended to identify and monitor individuals and groups implicated in terrorism. But the ACLU charges that these task forces are allowing local police officers to target peaceful political and religious groups with no connection to terrorism - Learn more and take action

ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM
Antidisestablishmentarianism originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England. The movement succeeded in England, but failed in Ireland and Wales, with the Church of Ireland being disestablished in 1871 and the Church in Wales in 1920. Antidisestablishmentarian members of the Free Church of Scotland delayed merger with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in a dispute about the position of the Church of Scotland. The term has largely fallen into disuse, although the issue itself is still current (see Act of Settlement 1701) - read more or click here

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 - THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE / THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation ~ we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. — that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. — such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. the history of the present king of great britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, ect > our unalienable rights are sacred for the same reason that they are unalienable; because of their Divine origin, according to the traditional American philosophy - Read the complete Declaration of Independence @ http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm

GOOD QUOTES - "cerebrate life with the provocation of thought"...
1) any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media - noam chomsky / 2) WAR IS STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM - everybody's worried about stopping terrorism ~ well, there's a really easy way; stop participating in it - noam chomsky / 3) we can bomb the world into pieces, but can we bomb the world into peace? - michael franti / 4) peace sells - but who's buying? - dave mustaine / 5) WOMEN START ALL WARS!?! most women do not allow men to be sensitive and fully express themselves emotionally (a control issue more than anything else) therefore perhaps many women advertently contribute to the creation of warfare; because if more women allowed more men to be sensitive, not only would men stop and talk more than the 7,000 words per minute that women presently allow them to speak; but they would also probably stop going to war as much - and aside from the obvious effect of testosterone upon young male behavior, all people start out as sensitive beings, but society tends to desensitize our men to make them into more efficient killing machines for the military-industrial complex at large, and this leads some to feel an unnecessary 'gender confusion' based upon their own perceived compassion (or lack thereof) leading to sex-changes etc - if society starts looking at all spirits as capable of staying the gentle, loving beings they started out as (not an easy task) maybe we can end this strange phenomenon known as the sex change operation, and many other pervasive societal problems as well - lik roper (LRE NOTE: due to the profound wisdom which i displayed in the last segment, it occurred to me that perhaps i should start a new age sex cult or something) / 6) when the people are divided; the government is in control - but when the people are united; the people are in control - lik roper / 7) one who is in control; controls oneself - lik roper / 8) when one practices vengence; one teaches vengence ~ but when one practices forgiveness; one teaches forgiveness - lik roper / 9) use every letter you write, every conversation you have, every meeting you attend, to express your fundamental beliefs and dreams - affirm to others the vision of the world you want - you are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness - affirm it - spread it - radiate it - think day and night about it and you will see a miracle happen: the greatness of our own life - robert muller - former assistant secretary general of the united nations / 10) karma is your own medicine - lik roper / 11) they say that life's a carousel - spinning fast, you've got to ride it well - the world is full of kings and queens - who blind your eyes and steal your dreams - it's heaven and hell, oh well - and they'll tell you black is really white - the moon is just the sun at night - and when you walk in golden halls - you get to keep the gold that falls - it's heaven and hell - fool, fool! - you've got to bleed for the dancer! - fool, fool! - look for the answer! - fool, fool, fool! - BLACK SABBATH ~ HEAVEN AND HELL / 12) WAR IS PEACE ~ FREEDOM IS SLAVERY ~ IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH - WHO CONTROLS THE PAST CONTROLS THE FUTURE ~ WHO CONTROLS THE PRESENT CONTROLS THE PAST - GEORGE ORWELL ~ 1984 / 13) enjoy every sandwich - warren zevon
