Post 859 US Airline Pilots Join "Occupy Wall Street" Protest

, , , ...

2011 Sept 28 Wall Street saw yet another surge in protesters today - as hundreds of Continental and United Airlines pilots demonstrated in New York City's financial district.

Over 700 hundred activists, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) carriers, took their grievances to the streets as they protested for wages and benefits in light of a stalled merger between the airlines.

The demonstration coincided with the 11th straight day the Occupy Wall Street encampment, which has seen thousands of demonstrators descend onto downtown Manhattan - and hundreds arrested.

Update 2011 Oct 02 700 arrested after swarming Brooklyn Bridge, shutting down traffic NEW YORK, N.Y. - Protesters speaking out against corporate greed and other grievances were maintaining a presence in Manhattan's Financial District on Sunday even after more than 700 of them were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge in a tense confrontation with police.

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Maced / Pepper Sprayed by NYPD Police

In a classic hypocritical example of the old golden rule of, “Do as I say, not as I do,” the USA encourages other countries and their leaders to allow peaceful demonstrations and protests opposing those countries governmental policies. When talks fail to change the leaders acceptance of these protestors, then the USA, under the sham umbrella of the UN or NATO, use their strong arm tactics to pass resolutions, authorizing them to use military force TO AID THE PROTESTERS and make the governments and their leaders listen to their demands.

However, that is NOT the case on home soil, as any hint of a demonstration or protest against any form of the US government is met with strong arm tactics, arrests, and violence. They are doing to US citizens, exactly the same thing they are accusing other countries of doing to theirs.

Take the present “Occupy Wall Street” movement in New York City where peaceful protesters are treated as violent criminals. Of course the main stream media is nowhere to be heard condemning this violation of Human rights, as they are controlled and told what to print and what to air, and when. They are only allowed to voice things that presents the great America (and her allies) in a positive way, like fighting terrorism and protecting the rights of individuals, but anything exposing their hypocrisy and suppression of human rights and Gestapo tactics is not to be exposed, is to be kept secret.

Anonymous Name Wall Street Cop (MIRRORED).mp4

It’s good to see that the cop Anthony Bologna, who came up and pepper sprayed two women in the Wall Street protest has been identified and charged. Now whether anything gets done about this so-called LEGAL CRIMINAL is another story as the police are also ABOVE the LAW, when it comes to serving and protecting their own…


Update:

Post 856 Something BIG is about to happen.

, , , ...

For the past few weeks I’ve had this uneasy feeling that something BIG is about to happen. I keep looking to the sky and checking the earthquake map on the internet to see if anything was going on, and what I’ve found is that Comet Elenin (as it makes its way through the Solar System) will be in alignment with the Earth, Mercury, and the sun on September 26-27, 2011 and that could cause major earthquakes. As it continues its journey, it will again be in alignment with other planets in October and then also in 2012, so there is more to come.

I’ve also noticed reports by local US citizens on the Internet, (as the MEDIA is part of the conspiracy of silence) that in the USA, there is a lot of Military and FEMA activity going on as if they are preparing for something major.

I also find it a curious “coincidence” that World Leaders Will Be In Recess During Elenin Alignment on September 26-27, 2011

Another hidden secret in Obamacare “RFID Chip Implants”

This new law requires an RFID chip implanted in all of us. This chip will not only contain your personal information with tracking capability but it will also be linked to your bank account. And get this, Page 1004 of the new law (dictating the timing of this chip), reads, and I quote: “Not later than 36 months after the date of the enactment”. It is now the law of the land that by March 23rd 2013 we will all be required to have an RFID chip underneath our skin and this chip will be link to our bank accounts as well as have our personal records and tracking capability built into it.

'Fear, Inc.' Exposes the So-Called Experts and Donors Behind Islamophobia in the United States

A new report by the Center for American Progress called "Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America" shows how a small group of self-proclaimed experts backed by a host of donors are spreading fear and hostility toward Muslims in the United States. According to the report, these so-called experts peddle Islamophobia in the form of books, reports, websites, blogs and carefully crafted anti-Islam talking points.

It also notes that right-wing Norwegian murderer Anders Breivik repeatedly cited these "experts" in his so-called "Manifesto."

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now speaks with one of the report’s authors, Faiz Shakir, vice president of the Center for American Progress and editor-in-chief of ThinkProgress.org.

Federal gestapo illegally raid Gibson Guitar factories, arbitrarily confiscate millions of dollars worth of wood used to make instruments]Federal gestapo illegally raid Gibson Guitar factories, arbitrarily confiscate millions of dollars worth of wood used to make instruments

Monday, August 29, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Due process under the law and assumed innocence before being proven guilty are two concepts that are apparently no longer applicable in the United States of America, at least as far as the federal government is concerned.

For the second time in two years, armed federal agents have illegally raided the manufacturing facilities of Gibson Guitars Corp., this time confiscating more than a million dollars worth of imported wood and ebony -- and they did so without proper notice or warning, without any valid reason, and without lawful charges of any kind.

Gibson, one of the world's premier guitar manufacturers, and a company that has continually tried to honestly and readily abide by domestic and international laws concerning its material sourcing while continuing to provide quality products to its customers, has for some reason landed in the cross fire of the federal gestapo.

Post 792 US Orders News Blackout Over Crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant

, , , ...

Pakalert Press Posted on Pakalert on June 17, 2011
A shocking report prepared by Russia’s Federal Atomic Energy Agency (FAAE) on information provided to them by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) states that the Obama regime has ordered a “total and complete” news blackout relating to any information regarding the near catastrophic meltdown of the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant located in Nebraska.

According to this report, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant suffered a “catastrophic loss of cooling” to one of its idle spent fuel rod pools on 7 June after this plant was deluged with water caused by the historic flooding of the Missouri River which resulted in a fire causing the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) to issue a “no-fly ban” over the area.
Post 792 US Orders News Blackout Over Crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant
Located about 20 minutes outside downtown Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant is owned by Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) who on their website denies their plant is at a “Level 4” emergency by stating: “This terminology is not accurate, and is not how emergencies at nuclear power plants are classified.”

Russian atomic scientists in this FAAE report, however, say that this OPPD statement is an “outright falsehood” as all nuclear plants in the world operate under the guidelines of the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) which clearly states the “events” occurring at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant do, indeed, put it in the “Level 4” emergency category of an “accident with local consequences” thus making this one of the worst nuclear accidents in US history.
Though this report confirms independent readings in the United States of “negligible release of nuclear gasses” related to this accident it warns that by the Obama regimes censoring of this event for “political purposes” it risks a “serious blowback” from the American public should they gain knowledge of this being hidden from them.

Canadian general taking over command of NATO's no-fly mission in Libya
Bouchard, a native of Chicoutimi, Que., has been designated by NATO as head of the alliance's campaign in Libya. He will work with "his naval and air component commands" to enforce the no-fly zone and the so-called civilian-protection mission in Libya, a senior White House official said Friday.
Bouchard, a lieutenant-general whose rank is equivalent to a three-star U.S. general, is currently stationed in Naples, Italy, at the Allied Joint Force Command.

His appointment did not come without considerable debate among the allies. "There were a lot of egos involved," a Canadian government source said.

While being a sheep of the US foreign policy is one thing, taking the appearance of the lead in the UN /NATO role in Libya is a dangerous maneuver for Canada. I say appearance as that is all it will be as the US will still be pulling the strings, despite what is being said.

While there has been a definite distinction abroad ,between a Canadian and a US tourist, that distinction now will fade, which will mean that Canadians will now be viewed as being in bed with the USA and their political agenda, and as such, will be treated the same. Any backlash that would have been directed at the USA will now also be directed at Canada and Canadians.

And so the plot thickens.

Post 779 The USA “Take Gadaffi out” mentality will backfire

, , , ...

2011 March 22 11:23 pm I feel that with all the US political, military and media hype about taking Gadaffi “out” of Libya, the US has again, opened a can of worms. When talking about taking Gadaffi out they are meaning either capturing and trying him like they did with Saddam Hussein, or killing him. Since the US also said that it would not be sending in troops to capture him, the emphasis then is on killing him, although they deny that is what they mean. What this sets up is new game rules for any anti-American or UN officials that are considered a threat to whoever deems them to be a threat. The mentality being, if the US and the UN can do it, so can we. Not to say that any targeted political leaders will necessarily be captured and put on trial, but in all likely hook they will be put up for ransom or killed as an act of retribution. It’s no different than a Mafia war, where one faction puts out a contract, or has their own hit men “take out” another leader in an effort to “take over” that operation.

While the US got away with it with Saddam Hussein in Iraq, they will not get away with it in this case. I feel that even though the Arab world has no real love for Gaddafi , they are beginning to see the pattern that the US and other foreign powers are playing to gain control of foreign interests.

Even the political/media rhetoric of making Libya pay for this so-called foreign help to oust Gaddafi is seen as a sham. The fuzzy US logic is to take Gadaffi’s fortune, said to be worth billions that he had stolen from the Libyan people, and use it to pay for the war waged to take him out. This will be clearly seen by the Libyans and other Arab countries as exposing the US and the UN’s hidden agenda; that this fighting for freedom and democracy is all about money, power, control, and nothing else.

Not only will it be loyal Gadaffi supporters that will be looking at capturing and killing US and other officials that they can get their hands on, but rest assured, this “take him out” mentality will also be coming from individuals and groups within the USA itself, and will be targeting US politicians and other officials that they think need to be removed from power, or just to make a name for themselves. The irony is that they will all be taking their cue from the highest government official in the US, the president himself.

While this seems like a bad thing, it’s actually good in that eventually, all those at the top of the food chain will be no more, will have killed each other in an effort to gain power and control. I’m laughing to myself as I just saw that there will come a time when no one will want to be in a position of power as they will be signing their own death warrant.

HAARP Magnetometer data shows Japan earthquake was induced.
The United States Air Force and Navy has provided a visual insight into what caused the 9.0 magnitude off of Japan on March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC. The image above was downloaded from the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) website. It is a time-frequency spectrogram, which shows the frequency content of signals recorded by the HAARP Induction Magnetometer. This instrument, provided by the University of Tokyo, measures temporal variations in the geomagnetic field (Earth’s magnetosphere) in the ULF (ultra-low frequency) range of 0-5 Hz. Notions have been added to the image to show you what was happening the day the Japan earthquake and tsunami struck.

By looking at the accompanying HAARP spectrum chart above you can see when the 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck – red line drawn vertically – and what was happening before and after the earthquake. What you can also see is a constant ULF frequency of 2.5 Hz being recorded by the magnetometer. The ULF 2.5 Hz frequency is evidence of an induced earthquake.

I’m not saying that what is being reported on this website is true, but it is not only within the realm of possibility, but also probability…

It’s yet another piece of the puzzle.

Update 2011 Oct 10 Japan Quake May Have Struck Atmosphere First

The devastating earthquake that struck Japan this year may have rattled the highest layer of the atmosphere even before it shook the Earth, a discovery that one day could be used to provide warnings of giant quakes, scientists find.

The magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off the coast of Tohoku in Japan in March ushered in what might be the world's first complex megadisaster as it unleashed a catastrophic tsunami and set off microquakes and tremors around the globe.

Scientists recently found the surface motions and tsunamis this earthquake generated also triggered waves in the sky. These waves reached all the way to the ionosphere, one of the highest layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

Now geodesist and geophysicist Kosuke Heki at Hokkaido University in Japan reports the Tohoku quake also may have generated ripples in the ionosphere before the quake struck.

Disruptions of the electrically charged particles in the ionosphere lead to anomalies in radio signals between global positioning system satellites and ground receivers, data that scientists can measure.

Heki analyzed data from more than 1,000 GPS receivers in Japan. He discovered a rise of approximately 8 percent in the total electron content in the ionosphere above the area hit by the earthquake about 40 minutes before the temblor. This increase was greatest about the epicenter and diminished with distance away from it. More >>>>>

Post 771 Pot calling Kettle Black (USA – Japan)

, , , ...

While Japan is in turmoil with the nuclear disaster unfolding in the aftermath of the 8.9 Earthquake and the tsunami, the USA and other world powers that have nuclear reactors are quick to criticize Japan on their efforts to contain and stabilize the situation, but none have moved in to offer any REAL support.

It’s interesting to see the hypocrisy in the USA media that is condemning the Japanese government and the private nuclear corporation operating the power plant for their lack of transparency and forthcoming of vital information, when the USA did the very same thing when confronted with the Gulf Oil disaster that happened over a year ago, and is in fact, still keeping quiet and not allowing vital information to be made public.
It’s also interesting to see that the cover-up that the Japanese Atomic Corporation and government were trying to put in place was being exposed by world media. Japan, being a free and open country permitted foreign journalist in to film and report on the Earthquake and tsunami disaster, not knowing the impact that the damaged the nuclear facilities were going to have when things couldn’t be covered-up as it was being exposed by world and especially USA media.

The irony is seeing the so-called USA experts and government officials pointing ng fingers at the Japanese attempt to downplay and cover-up the nuclear catastrophe while totally in denial; and avoidance of their own cover up with the gulf oil disaster and their handling, or not handling of it. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.

Talk about a two-faced repressive society, the USA government sat on its hands for months refusing any outside assistance and allowing BP Oil total autonomy in their handling of the disaster, even after several botched attempts to shut the well off, and even going so far as to allow BP to spray Corexit , knowing it was dangerous and toxic to the environment and humans.

The other curious thing is that while the gulf oil disaster was going on, over 46 % of the USA Media was dedicated to reporting the disaster, while very little news of it was mentioned in Europe and Britain. In fact, in an effort to make up for lost North American tourist revenue that was avoiding the Gulf and Florida, money was spent on foreign advertising offering unsuspecting tourists large discounts to visit Florida and Disneyland. So much so, that tourism actually increased 3.4 % over the previous year, with the tourists unaware of the potential danger they were putting themselves in. It’s all about money and power, might is right, and the end justifies the means.

Here as a link to some misinformation about Corexit put out by Nalco Holding Company (NHC), which is associated with BP.

Post 770 Japan’s Nuclear disaster & USA Gulf Oil Disaster similarities

, , , ...

[ B]2011 Mar 13 10:52 am [/B]I feel that Japans unfolding nuclear disaster is similar to the USA Gulf Oil disaster, in that it’s being played down as no BIG deal, that everyone is safe, and that it’s all under control, just like the USA’s Gulf Oil propaganda, yet that is far from the truth. In Japan’s case, the environmental and human health danger is the nuclear radiation that is being expelled into the atmosphere that will have far reaching and lasting effects. With the USA Gulf Oil disaster, it was both the oil and the Corexit toxin that they used to spray on the oil to disperse it that also created dangerous, far reaching and lasting environmental and human health issues.

It’s interesting to see how the so-called “experts” that are now being interviewed on US & Canadian TV and radio are downplaying the severity of the nuclear problem, stating that there is little, if any health risk… Just like with the gulf oil disaster. And another cover-up under way.

When I first heard about the Tsunami and the damaged nuclear plant, I had a feeling that there was not only one, but three that were having problems, and that seven were going to be affected. This is by no means a SMALL problem, not only for the Japanese, but for the World.

Post 765 Lieberman Bill Would Claim Entire Internet as US 'Asset'

, , , ...

QUOTE >> The introduction of a new Senate bill, S.3480, dubbed the “Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010,” is sparking concerns about a massive power grab over the Internet under the guise of “national security.”

The bill, proposed by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I – CT) claims the entire Internet, the whole global computer network and everything on it, as a “national asset” of the United States, and seeks to give President Obama the power to seize control over broad swaths of it with no oversight during a “National Cyber Emergency,” which would itself be something the president would be able to declare at any time.
But easily the most controversial aspect of the nearly 200 page bill is what is being called a “kill switch,” granting the president the power to shut down the entire Internet across the planet for national security reasons. Sen. Collins (R – ME), a supporter of the bill, claimed it was necessary to prevent a “cyber 9/11.” Read more...

****************************************************************
The bill amounts to an unprecedented proclamation of US presidential power, claiming a large portion of the global cyber economy as a specific asset of the United States. The bill goes on to state that the USA has the right to nationalize or destroy the internet, in whole or part, as a measure of national security. While the news may be disquieting for Americans faced with this sort of power grab from their own government, but for foreigners, the idea of another nation commandeering the Internet, cutting them off from it, or rendering it unusable is totally shocking, and not surprisingly, a source of grave concern. Should the US ever try such a stunt, expect all hell to break loose.

I was on the internet and followed a link to a site on how the US government is in the process of passing Bill S-510 that would make it illegal to grow your own food, have seeds in your possession, or to even collect rain water.

This new law will come under the Patriot Act where Homeland Security and the Military could arbitrarily confiscate any property it deemed necessary to National defense and could also arrest and imprison anyone that defies the law, or is considered a threat to National Security. It also opens the door for the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of all food on earth. Scary stuff, and it’s all being hidden from the public.

Post 652 Secret law gives police extra powers for G20

, , , ...

2010 June 25 TORONTO - Critics are comparing a secret law passed by the Ontario government to give police special powers during the G8 and G20 summits to Canada's War Measures Act.

The regulation gives police the power to arrest anyone coming within five metres of the security fences around the summit site in Toronto. Police can also demand identification from people near the security fences, and anyone who refuses to provide it can face up to two months in jail and a $500 fine.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Community Safety says the Ontario Public Works Protection Act dates back to 1939, and was simply extended to the G20 security perimeter for one week. The same law gives police the power to ask anyone entering a courthouse for identification and to search any bags they have.

The province's Liberal cabinet secretly passed the new regulation June 2 without any debate in the legislature, which was still in session at the time.

A Facebook group created today condemns the Ontario Public Works Protection Act, which it says "seriously curtails our rights and freedoms."

The law went into effect on Monday and will expire next Monday, after the G20 wraps up in Toronto.

*************************************************************************************************************************
And so the plot thickens as Canadian lapdog politicians and Military cronies, follow the USA and other “super” world powers lead to curtail and suppress civil liberty, all in the name of freedom… While some will claim that this is a different scenario, it’s merely semantics, as it’s the underlying INTENT that needs to be examined, and not the superficial pretence of protecting civil liberty and freedom.

As I tried to go back to sleep after my Grey Wolf dream, Post 603, I kept getting visions of things to come. One was that there is going to be another money crisis (big time) and that the United States, Mexico and Canada will form a new North America economic union and that a new currency will be issued and that the present currencies will be greatly devalued, causing wide scale chaos. I also saw riots taking place and the military, police and private mercenaries using new weapons, including the active denial weapon

I saw them hauling off and imprisoning anyone, (without trial) that dared to protest and defy them. I also saw food shortages taking place as a result of the economic problems as well as weather conditions. Today I did a brief Internet search and found pictures and links that I'm sharing here.

OSLO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for offering the world hope and striving for nuclear disarmament

The bestowal of one of the world's top accolades on Obama, who has yet to score a major foreign policy success after nearly nine months in office, was greeted with gasps from the audience at the announcement ceremony in Oslo.

Lauren Sherman, ForbesTraveler.com - Tue Oct 6, 4:47 PM

For the first time since 2005 when Simon Anholt--an independent policy adviser to 20 national, regional and city governments--started conducting the survey, the U.S. has been named the most admired country in the world, climbing six spots in the rankings from 2008. Rounding out the top five are other beloved countries like France, Germany, the U.K. and Japan.

Anholt attributed the U.S.' rank to global confidence in Obama. He also believes that former president George W. Bush's incredibly unpopular foreign policy pulled the country down in terms of image. After he left office this year, the only way for the U.S. to go was up. "The country's position was artificially depressed by Bush," says Anholt.…>>>>>

The timing and release of these two news items just proves to show the desperate and feeble attempts of the New World Order in staging events and media disinformation to present the USA in a “light” that is opposite to reality. Nominating Barrack Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize coupled with the press release that the USA is now the most liked country in the world, is like the WHO declaring the Pope a living Saint and Savior of Humanity, and that all Catholics as the chosen ones, that can do no wrong in God’s eyes.
