Introduction: Black Friday, Poverty, and the War on Terror
It is November 23rd, 2012. I’m thankful that I have not participated in Black Friday. Hopefully you didn’t either. But if you did, I understand. We are all forced into it one way or another. This is a day of consumption by the corporations. Billions of dollars spent today on Black Friday, the day everyone has to run out and do mindless spending. You know, if we took the money from Black Friday alone and put it toward world poverty, we could put a significant dent in it, if not eliminate it completely. So much money is spent on Black Friday. A lot could be done at the end of the day with that money, but no, it continues to be spent on mindless consumption.
Yesterday we had a very enlightening show on the truth behind Thanksgiving. Little known facts you probably didn’t know about the pale faces coming to the Native American lands known as North America, widely inhabited already, but yet the white man comes and plants his flag down on the ground and says, “We live here now. This is now America.” If you missed it, go check the archive.
Here is the fact of the day. Did you know that since the year 2000, 7,500 people have died from acts of terrorism? 7,500 people have died from acts of terrorism since the year 2000. Yet 200 million people have died from poverty since that time. 200 million people versus 7,500. And where do you think billions and trillions of dollars are being spent? Not on poverty. It is on the bogus War on Terror. You look at numbers like these and it becomes painfully obvious where they want to push the future, where they want the money to go. They really do not care about poverty. A significant dent would be put into this 200 million that are dying if the money was spent properly. Yet only 7,500 die from acts of terror and we get body scanners, pat-downs, metal detectors, facial recognition, license plate scanners, biometrics, DNA collection databases. The list goes on and on about privacy invasion. Because 7,500 people died from terror while 200 million die from poverty and yet it is no big deal. Most people have no idea about the disconnect between where money should be going and where money is actually going. Let that sink in and understand what that really means.
NSA Cyber Secrecy: Obama’s Internet Directives Kept Quiet
The National Security Agency says a presidential directive regarding the organization’s reach into private networks will not be made public. The announcement comes in a letter from the NSA to the Electronic Privacy Information Center, known as EPIC, which had filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the document. Because the document is controlled by the National Security staff, the NSA says the document was reviewed and determined to be exempt from release pursuant to an exemption of the Freedom of Information Act. This exemption applies to inter-agency working documents, agency memoranda, and letters which would not be available by law to a party in litigation with the agency, protecting confidential communications between the president and his advisers. The NSA also said the document was classified and could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. Any time secrets might come out, anything that could make the government look bad, they rule it out. I am not buying that, and you should not either.
EPIC sought the information because it pertained to the National Security Agency’s authority to invade civilian networks, pretty much any network you use as a civilian, internet or otherwise. The organization explained that on November 14th, 2012, it was reported that President Obama had signed Presidential Policy Directive 20 in October. According to reports, the directive enables the military to act more aggressively to thwart cyber attacks on the nation’s web of government and private computer networks. The letter said previous attempts by the president to expand cyber security authority had been rejected as posing unacceptable risks and potentially harmful consequences.
So EPIC wrote that the directive may violate federal law that prohibits military deployment within the United States without congressional approval. When President George W. Bush issued a directive in 2008 which defined cyber security authority of the NSA, EPIC said the older directive was the equivalent of secret law, the very thing that the Freedom of Information Act was designed to prevent. The public’s ability to monitor the government’s national security efforts and ensure that federal agencies respect privacy rights must be preserved.
EPIC also sought information on the NSA’s authority over civilian internet networks, saying the response would hold great informative value regarding activities of the government and would have significant public impact. There is a particular urgency for the public to obtain this information. Numerous bills are currently being considered by Congress to address US cyber security policy. In order for meaningful public comment on these bills as well as subsequent cyber security measures, the public must be aware of the authority the president’s directive establishes. The potential is huge. The NSA has almost limitless capacity to intercept communications, including this broadcast right now going to your ears. The need to establish effective oversight for government surveillance, including matters involving national security, is widely understood. EPIC is going to appeal the NSA’s determination, as we expected. This is a constant back and forth with privacy groups and internet watchdog groups saying the NSA needs to pony up the documents. The government needs to hand over these documents so we know what kind of collusion is going on. The Posse Comitatus Act is being violated to basically allow military deployment within the US without congressional approval. They get around it by privatizing everything, using private contractors, mercenaries who just do whatever the military would do anyway. Luckily we have groups that will continue to flip over however many rocks they need to uncover the information.
Texas Preparing to Nullify the TSA and the NDAA
Texas is preparing to nullify the TSA and the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, in a showdown of state liberty versus federal tyranny. Dissatisfaction is spreading rapidly. We have got a very divided nation. Citizens in nearly every state have begun petitioning the government to leave the union. A long list of states now have petitions to secede from the union. This is being led by the independent-minded citizens of Texas, with more than 120,000 residents signing an online petition requesting secession. Lawmakers in Texas are set to respond to a growing wave of discontent. They look set to consider bills that will set the state on a collision course with Washington.
According to the Tenth Amendment Center, a national think tank that works to preserve and protect the principles of limited government, the state legislature will consider bills aimed at protecting basic civil liberties for citizens. Earlier this week, David Simpson, a Republican, put forth a measure called the Texas Travel Freedom Act, HB 80, which would make it a criminal act to intentionally touch the anus, breast, buttocks, or sexual organ of another person, including touching through clothing, without probable cause in the process of allowing someone access to public transportation. In other words, that bill is aimed at ending the pointless, embarrassing, invasive pat-downs of travelers by the federal Transportation Security Administration. Thank you for someone finally stepping up and putting this on the forefront of attention.
HB 80, also known as the Texas Travel Freedom Act, goes after the TSA and its VIPR squads and other groups that are given unlimited authority to search passengers before they travel. This measure also forbids removing a child under the age of eighteen from the physical custody or control of their parent or guardian. That is good because we are seeing this happen quite a bit. If you grab someone’s crotch on the street, you will be in jail. Blue uniforms and federal badges do not grant the power to sexually assault you. Absolutely not. A person does not forfeit his or her personal dignity or Fourth Amendment protections with the purchase of an airline ticket. That is coming from the Tenth Amendment Center communications director Mike Maharrey.
In addition, state lawmakers will consider a separate measure that would block any attempt to indefinitely detain people in Texas under sections of the National Defense Authorization Act. That measure, known as HB 149, has been pre-filed by Representative Lyle Larson, Republican from San Antonio. It states it is the policy of this state to refuse to provide material support for, or to participate in any way with, the implementation of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012. The bill also provides for criminal penalties against any outside authority attempting to detain persons within the boundaries of Texas without due process. If passed, the bill would effectively nullify indefinite federal detention in the state of Texas.
The Tenth Amendment Center noted that the bills appear to be aimed at the Obama administration in particular. David and Goliath indeed. With four more years of the man who not only signed kidnapping into law but has aggressively defended it in court, there is absolutely zero chance for repeal out of Washington, DC. The only hope is to stand up and nullify. The Center’s executive director Michael Boldin said Representative Larson will likely be derided by the establishment. If you live in Texas, he deserves your praise, and other state legislators need to follow suit. The guy that authorized federal kidnapping, the same guy that authorizes drone killings from 40,000 feet, is the same guy that got the Nobel Peace Prize. Can you believe that? When states stand up and say no, there is not much that Obama and his gang can do about it. The Constitution and your liberty will win.
Both pieces of legislation appear to be modeled after the example set by Thomas Jefferson when he drafted the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts, arguing that nullification is the rightful remedy when the federal government usurps power. Jefferson wrote that the several states composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government, that by a compact under the style and title of the Constitution for the United States and amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving to each state the residuary mass of right to their own self-government. And that whenever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.
Other states are engaging in nullification as well. With growing opposition to Obamacare, many are opting out of creating state health insurance exchanges as called for by the law. Others have referendums to simply opt out of participating altogether. If you do not participate you lose out on federal money, but at this point many states do not care. They are willing to take the risk. That is good news for us because the road to Obamacare leads straight through the governor’s desk. Based on the Supreme Court’s decision, the federal government can implement the president’s program but cannot force states to run it. This was noted by the Family Research Council chief Tony Perkins. Thank you for standing up.
California Face Scanners: Facial Recognition Surveillance
California is getting new face scanners. This biometric software means that law enforcement agents can match a face against millions upon millions of profiles in a vast database stored on the cloud in less than a second. San Diego has been using facial recognition in southern California. Imagine the police taking a picture of any person anywhere and matching it on the spot in less than a second to a personalized profile, scanning millions upon millions of entries from within a vast database. At least a few law enforcement agencies in San Diego are currently using software developed by FaceFirst, a division of Biometric Intelligence and Identification Technologies.
They can positively identify anyone as long as physical data of a person’s facial features is stored somewhere that police have access to. Potential matches could include millions. The company says that by using the best available facial recognition algorithms, they can scour their database in a fraction of a second in order to send authorities all known intelligence about anyone who enters the camera’s field of vision. Live high-definition video enables FaceFirst to track and identify the face of every person on every camera simultaneously. The company claims on their website that their technical specs allow up to four million persons per second per processor. That means in a single second, a single computer wired to FaceFirst can scan as many faces as images captured by cameras, phones, and surveillance devices.
The system is designed to pick out suspects and persons of interest in a single setting, using an unlimited amount of cameras to record the movements of a crowd at thirty frames per second and pick out each and every face and feed it into an equation that ideally finds the bad guys. But who are the bad guys, ladies and gentlemen? It is anyone who speaks out against the government. All of a sudden you are the bad guy and you pop up on the grid instantly. This is not just neat little technology. This is fascism, ladies and gentlemen. They are using technology to do it. It is companies like FaceFirst, a subsidiary of a broader biometrics group.
The CEO of FaceFirst said he realized that with the right technology he could save lives. He says he dreamed of the project after the attacks of September 11th, 2001, and has since invested years perfecting it. Not yet mastered, however, but they want to get it far enough out to ensure that innocent bystanders and anyone who wishes to stay anonymous is left alone. But this is an Orwellian infrastructure that allows anyone with the right credentials to comb through a crowd and look up background information on any individual within the scope of the surveillance camera.
Reporters were told in August that the system processes nearly twenty million comparisons per second. Using FaceFirst, you can match against a cluster of a large number of live video cameras on a scale beyond any other system ever implemented. That is probably not entirely true because we know about TrapWire. Earlier this year, Russia Today broke the TrapWire story. We only knew about that because it came out of emails from the Stratfor hack. Anonymous leaked Stratfor emails, the global intelligence firm, to WikiLeaks. Through those emails we found out about TrapWire, a surveillance system marketed by Stratfor to law enforcement agencies across the world. It became obvious that surveillance devices were feeding into a system that could be monitored from fusion centers with access to a vast array of databases.
FaceFirst developers say their technology does not need a person to manually scour video feeds to find suspects. Complex algorithms make finding a match the job of a computer, and positive IDs can be returned in under a second. They want this more and more instantaneous. Before, it would take a few minutes, then a few seconds, but these guys are arguing that a person can get away in that time. They keep finding more and more reasons to dial up this technology and make it more and more invasive.
There are ways to fool facial recognition. You can get special infrared LEDs that wire up to the brim of a hat and they will totally distort your face by throwing infrared light on your face that basically wipes out your face from a camera’s perspective, yet does not make you look unusual to the naked eye. The cameras will pick up the infrared and it will blur your face. There are ways to get around this and we definitely should be looking into that.
Armed Drones to Patrol Highways by 2025
Armed drones are set to patrol highways by 2025, maybe even sooner. High-tech machines would disable a suspect’s car remotely using electromagnetic pulses. We know that we can do this. We have talked about directed energy being able to target a specific building or computer or vehicle and disable it. You have to go see the remake of Total Recall. Fascinating movie, a post-apocalyptic future scenario where there are only two colonies left on Earth, one in Australia and one in Britain. Workers commute through the center of the Earth. They create robots that are going to enslave the population. Without giving too much away, they are absolutely telling you in that movie what the future looks like. They are showing you how the government uses terrorism to create a reason to build more and more autonomous robots that are used to enslave people. Robots are walking around policing everybody, taking down whoever they want. The people working for the system just go along without question, until the main character starts to question what is going on. That movie touches on all the topics that researchers have been exposing for years: facial recognition, body scanners at checkpoints, being searched everywhere you go, and autonomous robots that DARPA has created that can outrun you, jump over gaps, and climb walls. They are showing you a likely future in Total Recall.
Autonomous ground and flying drones that would disable a suspect’s car remotely with an electromagnetic pulse could control highways by 2025, maybe earlier. A number of concept vehicles designed by major manufacturers such as Honda, BMW, and Subaru were part of a design challenge asking companies to come up with a concept for a highway patrol vehicle of 2025, with the winner set to be announced. Most of the entries for the competition responded with designs that overwhelmingly suggest patrol cars and motorcycles will be replaced by computerized drones within the next ten to fifteen years. Honda’s entry, the Honda HP Drone Squad, includes both a four-wheeled and a two-wheeled motorcycle-style drone, both of which were built to specs without the need to be manned. General Motors’ concept, named the Volt Squad, includes three futuristic vehicles designed to observe, pursue, and engage. The New York Times noted that the term “engage” was left menacingly undefined. BMW’s DesignWorks USA studio came up with a human-drone pursuit vehicle to allow the operator a good vantage point. There are also more surreal drone concepts which would have the capability to disable a suspect’s vehicle using electromagnetic pulse. Crazy stuff, folks.
Goldman Sachs CEO Wants to Raise the Retirement Age
Lloyd Blankfein, the 57-year-old CEO of Goldman Sachs who was paid more than $16 million last year, appeared on CBS to talk about the fiscal cliff and laid this truth on the American people: you all need to work longer. Can you believe this? What a joke. He said you can look at the history of these things and Social Security was not designed to support you for your entire retirement. He said the retirement age has to be changed, maybe some other benefits have to be affected, maybe some of the inflation adjustments have to be revised, but in general, entitlements have to be slowed down and contained.
As others before him noted, it is very easy for people like Blankfein with their large wages and sums of money within their offices to think and talk and tell Americans they should delay retirement. After all, they are probably dreading the day they stop working. Same goes for senators who would prefer to croak while giving a floor speech, and for journalists who keep writing until they go blind staring at a monitor. They like their jobs. They do not want to leave them. However, it might not be so easy for your average American, particularly one with a numbingly repetitive or physically taxing occupation, to work those extra years.
It turns out raising the retirement age is one of the more regressive ways to cut benefits. That is because the more Americans make, the longer they live. Over the past thirty years, almost all the gains in life expectancy among men at age 65 have gone to the top half of earners. So when they call for raising your retirement age, they want to take away what you have earned while the rich continue to benefit. Spread information and awareness to those that we love.
Obama’s Private Swearing-In Ceremony and Background Questions
Obama looks like he is going to hold a private swearing-in ceremony for his second presidential term. One month from now, January 20th, 2013, Obama will be required by law to be sworn in for his second presidential term by noon. However, something mysterious is happening with the ceremony that is raising the eyebrows of many. Since the 20th falls on a Sunday, a private ceremony will be held. This raises the possibility of discrepancies, as the public ceremony will be held the following day.
The fact that a deviation by even one single word during the ceremony is a red flag. Chief Justice Roberts in 2009 could signify a problematic, unconstitutional swearing-in, as we saw four years ago. The public ceremony shortly after the private ceremony caused quite a controversy at the time. Some speculated the administration was hiding something, as an executive order was signed by President Obama shortly after, hiding all his records and possibly CIA activity. He has a couple of missing years at Columbia. Some say he was CIA, which is very likely.
The Washington Times reported on January 21st, 2009, that President Obama took the oath of office a second time in a private ceremony at the White House one day after the flubbed inauguration. We are told the oath of office was administered correctly and that the president was sworn appropriately, but out of an abundance of caution, because one word was out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time.
According to an interview, a man known only as Al, a debt collector, while doing a skip tracing procedure on a Chicago debtor, a procedure used to verify data on a client such as address, phone numbers, friends, and Social Security numbers, came across a startling discovery. His client’s neighbor turned out to be Michelle Obama. Out of curiosity, he pulled up Barack Obama’s name and allegedly found his Chicago home address of 5046 South Greenwood Avenue, strangely enough owned by Obama. The account also allegedly displayed that Barack Obama’s file had an alias name of Harrison J. Bounel. This has been known for a while in the archives. A Social Security number was linked to Obama, and when people actually looked it up, it traced back to this alias. On video, Obama appeared to forget what his own birthday was, which suggests he may not be using a real birthday. When you try to use multiple Social Security numbers, you have to keep your stories straight.
The file also allegedly showed interest in a $1.2 million mortgage. If all the allegations are true, this suggests real estate fraud at a minimum and a possible indication that Obama’s house was a CIA safe house. 52 former addresses of Obama allegedly popped up as well. It has also been revealed that Obama’s birth certificate posted on the official White House website appears to be only a digital rendering, not a real certificate. It has been altered in many ways. Multiple document experts came out right away and said there are layers in the digital certificate that do not match what a real certificate from Hawaii should look like in any way. It has all indications of being problematic.
Article Two, Section One of the United States Constitution states that no person except a natural born citizen shall be eligible to the office of President, and that the person must have attained the age of 35 years and been 14 years a resident within the United States. The whole birther issue has been turned into a spectacle, not by the researchers themselves or people such as Donald Trump, but rather by the establishment and the controlled press. Every major news network across the board uses the same rhetoric, pouring propaganda out of the TV screens.
The true issue surrounding this goes much deeper. Most positions of importance require a birth certificate and background checks. People who have enrolled in the military can tell you that extensive background checks are performed, contacting various childhood friends and associates. Article Two, Section One of the Constitution was not put in place to be taken lightly. This is literally the front-line defense when it comes to warding off foreign threats from gaining control of the United States, the nuclear button, the entire US military, and access to trillions in currency. If a security guard needs such guidelines, surely the president does as well. This should be a no-brainer, especially when the entire nuclear arsenal is in the president’s control.
Reporters like Anderson Cooper and figures like Whoopi Goldberg continue to project the image that this issue is dead following President Obama’s release of the alleged long-form birth certificate, which by the way is not recognized by the state of Hawaii as the official document. Obama had the law changed. In order to accommodate Obama’s inability or refusal to provide the long form, the state of Hawaii changed its policy. The former director of the Hawaii Department of Health, Loretta Fuddy, who had been under fire for acting as Obama’s agent in refusing to release the long-form birth certificate to anyone, announced that Hawaii would no longer provide legitimate long-form birth certificates to anyone who was actually born in Hawaii. The certificate Obama released through the White House’s official website appears to be fabricated. It has now been analyzed by many, including researchers connected to Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona.
This issue is not about race. It is about proving authenticity. If evidence shows Obama is not a natural born citizen and is responsible for criminal actions while in office, colluding with a global crime syndicate, what would be the repercussions? Consider the following actions taken during his presidency: questionable executive orders, illegal wars, indefinite detention of citizens, banker bailouts upwards of trillions of dollars, expansion of surveillance, socializing medical care, approving geoengineering, and budgets exceeding billions. Something is not right here. We have private swearing ceremonies, questionable birth certificates, laws changed in Hawaii, and missing time at Columbia. It is shady. And it has nothing to do with race. If the guy were white, it would be the same question. If he were any color, it would be the same question. It does not matter.
Man Claims to Have Lived with Extraterrestrials in the Himalayas
There is an article coming out about a man who claims he lived with extraterrestrials in the Himalayas for over a year. As a Frenchman who lived in a secret extraterrestrial base apparently in the Himalayas for a year, and also spent months on a farm in southern France, Robert experienced unusual phenomena from a young age. His parents witnessed balls of light appearing in the evenings around the house. When he was about twenty years old, Robert and his parents and his grandmother observed white lights that moved over the grounds, which seemed to belong to an intelligently controlled craft, eventually joining up with a giant bullet-shaped form standing nearby. They appeared to be intelligent. For two years, Robert received many visits. At midnight, beings would appear for interactions. Since childhood, Robert would find himself paralyzed as visitors appeared. The visitors were tall and blonde with long arms, dressed in skin-tight jumpsuits with a metallic shimmer. They said they were from another galaxy. They took a blood sample and told him they were interested in his genetic structure. Over the next two years, Robert was mentally and physically prepared for these visits and instructed in various exercises.
It is a fascinating story, folks. You have to check out the full article. There are drawings to accompany it. It goes right along with many other contactee accounts, close encounters of the direct contact kind. The story parallels things we have definitely heard from other contactees. Check it out and judge for yourself.
