Tamerlan may have been a double agent recruited by the FBI….The sole witness to Tamerlan’s confession changed his story….Details of a police officer’s shooting don’t add up…the FBI harasses, deports and kills the brothers’ friends…
As the defining domestic national security event since 9/11, the Boston Marathon Bombing has played a major role in expanding the power of the security state. Although the media quickly accepted the government’s assertions that it had captured the culprits, that the culprits were “lone wolves” and that there was nothing more to the story, an ongoing exclusive investigation by WhoWhatWhy, launched the week of the event, suggests otherwise.
In the course of our inquiries, we have found and documented a veritable mountain of dubious official claims, inconsistencies and outright lies—plus a concerted campaign to prejudice the public regarding the accused, prior to trial. We have also reported on a campaign of harassment against prospective witnesses whose knowledge might cast doubt on the accepted narrative. We have made no judgments or claims about guilt or innocence, but we are certain that the full story has been obscured from the very start. The big question? Why.

The most astounding aspect of such deep events is that the "evidence" seems to be of the sort which does not stand up to scrutiny. Of course if you're the Warren Commission, you just ignore the parts of the evidence you don't like and distort the rest.

Kissinger And The Drums Of War
“The United States is bating China and Russia, and the final nail in the coffin will be Iran, which is, of course, the main target of Israel. We have allowed China to increase their military strength and Russia to recover from Sovietization, to give them a false sense of bravado, this will create an all together faster demise for them. We’re like the sharp shooter daring the noob to pick up the gun, and when they try, it’s bang bang. The coming war will will be so severe that only one superpower can win, and that’s us folks. This is why the EU is in such a hurry to form a complete superstate because they know what is coming, and to survive, Europe will have to be one whole cohesive state. Their urgency tells me that they know full well that the big showdown is upon us. O how I have dreamed of this delightful moment.”

"Delightful moment"? What kind of sick fuck calls the imminent death of perhaps millions of people "a delightful moment"?
Clearly, the term "low-life scum" was applied to the wrong party the other day.

Google's Cyborg-Related Research
Google is producing artificial human skin to support their experiments in cancer detection:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/google-is-making-human-skin-as-part-of-research-into-wristband-that-can-detect-cancer-10015423.html
Obviously the results of such research also will assist in the creation of cyborgs.
Which makes more sense at this point in Earth's history?
You know the answer; you're just afraid to face it.

Which makes more sense at this point in Earth's history?
- Detect and cure more human diseases, potentially allowing the human population to continue to increase; or
- Create cyborgs to replace us and to allow rich people to live forever.
You know the answer; you're just afraid to face it.

Hillary's WMD Moment
The intelligence community gathered no specific evidence of an impending genocide in Libya in spring 2011, undercutting Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s primary argument for using the U.S. military to remove Col. Moammar Gadhafi from power, an event that has left his country in chaos, according to officials with direct knowledge of the dispute.
Defense officials, speaking in detail for the first time about their assessments of the Libyan civil war four years ago, told The Washington Times that Mrs. Clinton’s strong advocacy for intervention against the Libyan regime rested more on speculative arguments of what might happen to civilians than on facts reported from the ground.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/29/hillary-clinton-libya-war-genocide-narrative-rejec/
This strongly suggests two possibilities:
(1) Hillary was lying, or
(2) Hillary didn't know jack.
What's the point of having an "intelligence community" if you're not going to believe them?
Why in the world would we want another President who kills people for no good reason? Look at what Obama ad-Dajjal has done to Syria (based on lies) and to Ukraine (based on more lies). You want more of THAT?

Death Of The American Dream
The following are 22 numbers that are very strong evidence of the death of the American Dream:
#1 The Obama administration tells us that 8.69 million Americans are “officially unemployed” and that 92.90 million Americans are considered to be “not in the labor force”. That means that more than 101 million U.S. adults do not have a job right now.
#2 One recent survey discovered that 55 percent of Americans believe that the American Dream either never existed or that it no longer exists.
#3 Considering the fact that Obama is in the White House, it is somewhat surprising that 55 percent of all Republicans still believe in the American Dream, but only 33 percent of all Democrats do.
#4 After adjusting for inflation, median household income has fallen by nearly $5,000 since 2007.
#5 After adjusting for inflation, “the median wealth figure for middle-income families” fell from $78,000 in 1983 to $63,800 in 2013.
#6 At this point, 59 percent of Americans believe that “the American dream has become impossible for most people to achieve”.
#7 In 1967, 53 percent of Americans were considered to be “middle income”. But today, only 43 percent of Americans are.
#8 For each of the past six years, more businesses have closed in the United States than have opened. Prior to 2008, this had never happened before in all of U.S. history.
#9 According to the New York Times, the “typical American household” is now worth 36 percent less than it was worth a decade ago.
#10 According to one recent report, 43 million Americans currently have unpaid medical debt on their credit reports.
#11 Traditionally, owning a home has been one of the key indicators that you belong to the middle class. Unfortunately, the rate of homeownership in the U.S. has now been falling for seven years in a row.
#12 According to a survey that was conducted last year, 52 percent of all Americans cannot even afford the house that they are living in right now.
#13 While Barack Obama has been in the White House, the number of Americans on food stamps has gone from 32 million to 46 million.
#14 The number of Americans on food stamps has now exceeded the 46 million mark for 38 months in a row.
#15 Right now, more than one out of every five children in the United States is on food stamps.
#16 According to a Washington Post article published just recently, more than 50 percent of the children in U.S. public schools now come from low income homes. This is the first time that this has happened in at least 50 years.
#17 According to the Census Bureau, 65 percent of all children in the United States are living in a home that receives some form of aid from the federal government.
#18 In 2008, 53 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be “middle class”. But by 2014, only 44 percent of all Americans still considered themselves to be “middle class”.
#19 In 2008, 25 percent of all Americans in the 18 to 29-year-old age bracket considered themselves to be “lower class”. But in 2014, an astounding 49 percent of all Americans in that age range considered themselves to be “lower class”.
#20 It is hard to believe, but an astounding 53 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year.
#21 According to one recent survey, 62 percent of all Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck.
#22 According to CNN, the typical American family can only “replace 21 days of income with readily accessible funds”.
The key to the recovery of the middle class is jobs.
The truth is that without middle class jobs, it is impossible to have a middle class.

The Final Sellout
We have been sold out time and again by Obama ad-Dajjal. But his parting shot may indeed come through fast-track authority to approve trade deals (like TPP and TTIP):

It is truly amazing how this man was able to fool so many for so long.

Vaccination Police State
Some people, including those in the MSM, are advocating criminal penalties for parents who will not vaccinate their children:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/usa-today-columnist-calls-for-arrest-and-imprisonment-of-vaccine-skeptics/5428379
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.”
Yes, we have become a dictatorship.
No, vaccines are not making us healthier. They are making us weaker:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/vaccine-mccarthyism-what-if-the-vaccine-paradigm-itself-is-deliberately-flawed/5427768
So now what?
Update: Note well that the MSM is distorting the facts about vaccines in articles such as this one, while refusing to mention the known shortcomings of vaccines including the fact that vaccines do not completely stop the spread of disease:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/31/us/vaccine-critics-turn-defensive-over-measles.html
They also never mention that measles was reintroduced into the United States through uncontrolled immigration and that vaccination will do nothing to stop that aspect of the problem.
Second update: Here is a very revealing statement -
The majority of people who get measles are unvaccinated.
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jan/30/measles-super-bowl-arizona-fans
Not "all people", not "most people" ... the "majority of people".
This is a clever way of not having to admit that the measles vaccine does not prevent measles.

WHAT Affordable Care Act ???

Another Lawless AG ???
I agree with Senator Sessions. The AG nominee clearly is committed to continuing an unlawful, unconstitutional program of illegal immigration into the US:
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/lauretta-brown/sessions-why-confirm-ag-who-s-going-execute-unconstitutional-policy
She should not be confirmed, and Obama ad-Dajjal should be impeached.
What's the point of even having an AG, if he or she will not enforce the laws of the land?

Is NetanYahoo Guilty Of Arms Smuggling ???
A recent poll shows that a majority of Americans believe that Israeli PM NetanYahoo should be investigated for nuclear arms smuggling:
I am one of them.
However, it should not be an FBI investigation. CIA, FBI, NRC, and Congress have all been covering up the crimes of several Israeli thugs who stole weapons materials and technology from the US to further their illegal nuclear weapons program.
What we need is an independent prosecutor reporting to We The People and who has subpoena power to compel CIA, FBI, NRC, and others to testify. Otherwise, we'll just get another whitewash.
There appears to already be enough evidence to arrest some of the Israeli thugs and their collaborators in the US. If it turns out that NetanYahoo broke the law, he should be arrested the next time he sets foot on US soil.
And by the way, it should be We The People telling the Israelis what to do, not Israeli thugs telling our Congress what to do. Just who the hell do they think they are?

So Now We're Low-Life Scum ???
According to the US Constitution, we have the right to peacefully assemble and protest:
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
However, sometimes when we try to assert that right, a US Senator will call us "low-life scum":
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/john-mccain-code-pink-lowlife-scum-114724.html
And so also did the Republic of Rome slide into empire and then disaster.
I think the next time the US Senate wants us to go to war, we should give John McCain a gun and send him off to fight it for us.
And by the way, there is ample evidence to suggest that both Kissinger and McCain may in fact be war criminals, so it's not that surprising that they are protecting each other from justice.
Update: Here is Medea Benjamin's take on what happened:

Malthus Was Right - We're Going To Starve
The Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus predicted in "An Essay on the Principle of Population" that sooner or later population will be checked by famine and disease, leading to what is known as a Malthusian catastrophe. We seem to be headed in the very direction he predicted:
The world has entered an era of “peak food” production with an array of staples from corn and rice to wheat and chicken slowing in growth – with potentially disastrous consequences for feeding the planet.
New research finds that the supply of 21 staples, such as eggs, meat, vegetables and soybeans is already beginning to run out of momentum, while the global population continues to soar.
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/have-we-reached-peak-food-shortages-loom-as-global-production-rates-slow-10009185.html
Are our best days behind us? They are if we don't get the human population increase under control.
[Hint: The only people with a workable plan are the ones building the killer robots.]

Why Did Military "Undermine" Hillary ???
According to the latest politically motivated revelations, the military "undermined" Hillary on Libya:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/28/hillary-clinton-undercut-on-libya-war-by-pentagon-/print/
I think putting it that way obscures the underlying reality, which is that professional military men believed that what Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary Rodham (a.k.a. Clinton to some of you) did to Libya was INSANE, and they were looking for some way to stop it.
You know, some of Hitler's generals tried to stop him, too, and now we applaud their attempts.
Watch this video, and then try to tell me that this person is not insane:

Bill Gates Is Worried About AI, Too
Microsoft's co-founder and former CEO is the latest luminary from the world of technology and science to warn against the threat of smart machines:
Bill Gates has a warning for humanity: Beware of artificial intelligence in the coming decades, before it's too late.
Microsoft's co-founder joins a list of science and industry notables, including famed physicist Stephen Hawking and Internet innovator Elon Musk, in calling out the potential threat from machines that can think for themselves. Gates shared his thoughts on AI on Wednesday in a Reddit "AskMeAnything" thread, a Q&A session conducted live on the social news site that has also featured President Barack Obama and World Wide Web founder Tim Berners-Lee.
"I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence," Gates said in response to a question about the existential threat posed by AI. "First, the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern."
http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/bill-gates-is-worried-about-artificial-intelligence-too/
These are some pretty smart people, so I think we should pay attention to what they are saying.
But I believe it's already "too late". The Google-CIA-NSA-Pentagon complex is charging full speed ahead toward the creation of Skynet and self-aware machine intelligence. No one can stop them.
Let me repeat that: NO ONE CAN STOP THEM.
And once we reach The Singularity, our sun will have set.
Enjoy the time we have left.

Apple: What's Right And Wrong With Capitalism
Apple Inc. just made the biggest profit for a corporation in history:
Apple Inc quarterly results smashed Wall Street expectations with record sales of big-screen iPhones in the holiday shopping season and a 70 percent rise in China sales, powering the company to the largest profit in corporate history.
The company sold 74.5 million iPhones in its fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 27, while many analysts had expected fewer than 70 million. Revenue rose to $74.6 billion from $57.6 billion a year earlier.
Profit of $18 billion was the biggest ever reported by a public company, worldwide, according to S&P analyst Howard Silverblatt. Apple's cash pile is now $178 billion, enough to buy IBM or the equivalent to $556 for every American.

Kudos, you may say. And iPhones definitely benefit humanity. I guess.
But this "value added"-based profit will not benefit humanity. To put that "$556 for every American" in perspective, there are now 16 million US kids who rely on food stamps (5% of the total population), and each receives about $133 per month, which works out to $6.65 for every American:

and

And since, according to some sources, Apple does not pay their fair share of taxes, even that measly $6.65 probably doesn't come from them:

So, I guess they're mostly going to keep that $18 billion profit for themselves.
And I doubt Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave. Capitalism is about the accumulation of capital, not the sharing of wealth or the doing of good works.
Apple Inc quarterly results smashed Wall Street expectations with record sales of big-screen iPhones in the holiday shopping season and a 70 percent rise in China sales, powering the company to the largest profit in corporate history.
The company sold 74.5 million iPhones in its fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 27, while many analysts had expected fewer than 70 million. Revenue rose to $74.6 billion from $57.6 billion a year earlier.
Profit of $18 billion was the biggest ever reported by a public company, worldwide, according to S&P analyst Howard Silverblatt. Apple's cash pile is now $178 billion, enough to buy IBM or the equivalent to $556 for every American.

Is The Vaccine Paradigm Deliberately Flawed ???
If you do nothing else today, you should at least read this provocative report which presents some very alarming information about vaccines. Here are some highlights from the report:
Within the mainstream medical and scientific community there is an unassailable pseudo-truth that vaccines are safe and effective, whether administered individually or in combination. Within the vaccine injured children and autism movements there is also an unchallenged belief that vaccines are effective but not always safe. In this case, vaccine-injured children or adult family members were simply one of the rare cases where they received a hot lot vaccine or possessed biomolecular abnormalities, such as mitochondria dysfunction, and suffered the consequences.
Even many parents with two children developing neurological complications after vaccination, will continue to follow the recommended vaccine schedule. Any medical physician, scientist, nurse, public health advocate, politician, or journalist who questions the myth of vaccine safety and efficacy are often immediately attacked, ridiculed, and designated a conspirator. In fact, the pro-vaccine propaganda machine sends forth articulate doctors and university scientists to engage in ad hominin personal attacks against vaccine dissenters.
However, what if all of these individuals and their organizations, their shadow lobbying foundations and think tanks, are wrong?
What if the vaccine paradigm itself is flawed?
********
Dr. Thompson, who co-authored and published research on vaccine thimerosal mercury—still included in some vaccines, especially the influenza vaccine—has admitted he was part of the CDC’s conspiracy to obscure scientific evidence proving thimerosal and the MMR vaccine as causal factors for autism. During an interview on the Autism Media Channel, he stated that he would never give his pregnant wife a flu shot because of its high concentration of mercury. “I don’t know why they still give it to pregnant women,” Dr. Thompson stated. “That’s the last person I would give mercury to.” After reviewing some of the CDC data received by Dr. Thompson, as well as data records acquired through freedom of information submissions, Prof. Hooker discovered that the CDC has known since 2001 that children exposed to thimerosal in utero were 800 percent more likely to regress into autism. This data was intentionally excluded from the CDC paper published in the journal Pediatrics in an effort to disprove a thimerosal-autism association. During a recent radio broadcast, Prof. Hooker unearthed evidence that the CDC has known for a decade that children receiving the MMR vaccines on schedule were nearly 300 percent more likely to regress into autism compared to children whose parents decided to withhold the vaccine until after the child was older.
********
An early 2014 report released by the Council of Foreign Relations to identify countries with the highest rates of disease outbreaks, accidently revealed that the most highly vaccinated populations are also those with the greatest number of outbreaks for those same infectious diseases. This was especially the case for measles, mumps, rubella, polio and pertussis outbreaks. The US, Canada, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan—each with the highest number of mandated vaccines—led the list of nations. The Office of Medical and Scientific Justice, which analyzed the report, concluded that the Council’s report clearly suggests the theory of “herd immunity” is failing or was flawed to begin with. Given the repeated incidences of infectious outbreaks in populations with 94% or more vaccine compliance, and the emergence of new viral strains, the concept of herd immunity should be forgotten. The Office offers several possibilities to explain the report: 1) vaccines are increasingly becoming ineffective and causing “immune dysfunction,” and 2) “vaccine antigen responses” may be reprogramming viruses while weakening the immune systems of the most vaccinated individuals.
********
The question whether the mumps vaccine should have ever been put on the market has been debated since the 1950s. Over fifty years ago the nation’s chief federal epidemiologist, E.H. Lossing, warned that the mumps vaccine, which doesn’t provide lifelong immunity, would create a far more medically dangerous and costlier problem for people who become infected as adults. At its best, the mumps vaccine may protect a person for 2 years, according to Dr. Greg Poland, head of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group. In 2014, there were over 1000 mumps cases and all outbreaks occurred in highly vaccinated populations. It was far worse in 2006, writes Lawrence Solomon for the Huffington Post. During that year 84% of the 6,500 mumps cases were fully vaccinated young adults. Among the almost 450 mumps cases in the American South last year, only 3 were unvaccinated. What is more disturbing, researchers at the Bordeaux University Hospital in France, found that vaccinated adults were contracting a particularly malignant strain of mumps that contributed to meningitis, inflammation of the testicles, and hearing impairment.
********
A paper out of the University of California at Berkeley and appearing in the October 2013 issue of Molecular Cytogenetics came to public attention last year to suggest that cervical cancer may not be caused by the human papilloma virus. If the theory is correct that may prove that the HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix do not prevent cervical cancer at all.
Moreover, researchers at the University of Guelph in Canada reported that the HPV vaccine on a “mechanism” by which the vaccine is altering transmission leading to higher oncogene expression among vaccinated girls. The implications from this research is that the vaccine is driving the evolution of viral virulence, similar to what is being observed with vaccines for pertussis, mumps and measles.
********
Even the chickenpox vaccine, long thought to be safe and effective, is failing with the others. Back in 2005, South Korea mandated the varicella vaccine to all children under15 months. Regardless of the country’s 97% compliance—well, above herd immunity’s claims to eradicate infectious disease—chickenpox infections have not declined and in fact have increased three-fold between 2006 and 2011.
********
It is time for a national debate to end vaccine madness. As further research emerges, as the vaccine paradigm is further stripped away, future generations will be looking back upon vaccination as a barbaric, primitive practice.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/vaccine-mccarthyism-what-if-the-vaccine-paradigm-itself-is-deliberately-flawed/5427768
Maybe there is nothing intentional about all of this, but the situation is clearly screwed up.
I have an adult immune system which so far has served me well. I do not intend to mess with it by taking any more vaccines.
I strongly suggest you read the entire report linked above and then act according to your tolerance for the significant risks apparently posed by modern vaccines.
Update: Here is a pertinent story from The New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/29/us/father-of-boy-with-leukemia-asks-california-school-officials-to-bar-unvaccinated-students.html
I sympathize with the Krawitt family, but unfortunately vaccinations do not appear to increase herd immunity. Please read the above report.
And why should Rhett Krawitt's "right" to go to school and the alleged "right" of infected people to travel wherever they want result in an obligation for me or my children to get vaccinated? Who bears the greater risk of an adverse outcome, me or Rhett? Should not those at greater risk bear the responsibility for dealing with the problem?
I agree with Dr. Null and his coauthor that it's time for a national debate about vaccines, especially because the kind of vaccine sob stories being pushed by NYT and the rest of the MSM are trying to coerce us into doing something (like universal vaccination) which will be costly, ineffective, and potentially dangerous.

How is it that this little country listens to its people and takes on today's fiscal monsters, while the US spits on its people and literally tells them their opinions and fate are of little importance?
Here's a perfect example of how the US treats its own people, by enacting a trade pact which will further destroy the middle class:

Should Ministers Be Rich ???
Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Why then does Joel Osteen have a personal net worth of $40 million?
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

Why Is Israel Guarding OUR Border ???
According to several reports (including this one), Israeli companies are now responsible for guarding much of our border with Mexico:

In addition to what is mentioned in the report, we should also be concerned with the potential for their collusion with the drug cartels. After all, what do they care whether our border is really secure or not, and I'm sure that the right amount of money would persuade the Israelis (or anyone, for that matter) to look the other way as the drugs keep pouring across the border like a fire hose.

How Davos Oligarchs Plan To Spend OUR Money
It seems that the oligarchs of Davos want to spend $90 TRILLION to re-design all cities on earth to make them more compact, apparently so that we won't need cars anymore:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/theres-a-plan-floating-around-davos-to-spend-90-trillion-redesigning-all-the-cities-so-they-dont-need-cars/5427064
Can you spell m-e-n-t-a-l-l-y i-n-s-a-n-e?
I've heard of a variation of this plan before in the guise of UN "Agenda 21". Usually the MSM makes fun of people who criticize Agenda 21, and here is one example of such ridicule:
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/11/tea-party-agenda-21-un-sustainable-development
In my experience, the strongest ridicule is directed at reasonable efforts to discuss extremely bad plans the one percent have for the rest of us. This initiative appears to be a very good example of that.
From a Biblical perspective, herding humanity into corrals is something Nimrod would do. And he would do it to cut us off from G-d, which is something the US government, the US deep state, and the oligarchs of Davos would very much like to do.
After all, as Obama ad-Dajjal reminded us, we shouldn't be "clinging to guns and religion".

Did CDC Just Admit That Vaccines May Cause Autism ???
A CDC senior epidemiologist stepped forward last week to say that he and his CDC colleagues omitted data that linked MMR vaccine to autism in a 2004 study. The scientist, William Thompson, said “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information.”
A coauthor of the questioned study is Dr. Frank DeStefano, Director of the CDC Immunization Safety Office. In a telephone interview last week, DeStefano defended the study and reiterated the commonly accepted position that there’s no “causal” link between vaccines and autism.
But he acknowledged the prospect that vaccines might rarely trigger autism.
“I guess, that, that is a possibility,” said DeStefano. “It’s hard to predict who those children might be, but certainly, individual cases can be studied to look at those possibilities.”
http://sharylattkisson.com/cdc-possibility-that-vaccines-rarely-trigger-autism/
Take note that apparently neither CDC or anyone else is yet looking for that potential causal link, and in my opinion such inaction borders on criminal negligence.

How CIA Made Google
I have long suspected that Google's rapid rise to wealth and power happened because of close connections to the US government and deep state. This report confirms my suspicions:
INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project, breaks the exclusive story of how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’
The origins of this ingenious strategy trace back to a secret Pentagon-sponsored group, that for the last two decades has functioned as a bridge between the US government and elites across the business, industry, finance, corporate, and media sectors. The group has allowed some of the most powerful special interests in corporate America to systematically circumvent democratic accountability and the rule of law to influence government policies, as well as public opinion in the US and around the world. The results have been catastrophic: NSA mass surveillance, a permanent state of global war, and a new initiative to transform the US military into Skynet.
http://www.mintpressnews.com/cia-made-google/201521/
NOTE WELL those last eight words: "initiative to transform the US military into Skynet".
Assisted by CIA, Google, and NSA, the Pentagon is building the infrastructure of Skynet:

http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2014/11/pentagon-intends-to-build-skynet.html
Once Skynet is in place and goes operational, we will be well and truly fucked.
If you have been watching the TV series "Person of Interest", the Samaritan program is probably closest to what the feds have in mind - a system which will end human freedom, replacing it with machine-driven absolute control. Give it robotic weapons and/or control over our nuclear weapons and allow it to become self aware ... and you get Skynet.
And there does not appear to be anything we can do to stop it.
Update: Here's another example of how Google helps the US government - by screwing Wikileaks:

[You may have to translate from the original German to read the report.]
There may be nothing illegal about what Google did in this matter, but it definitely shows they know which side their bread is buttered on.

Compounding The Bhopal Tragedy
Do you recall what happened at Bhopal, India in 1984, when a cloud of methyl isocyanate from a Union Carbide plant killed as many as 3,787 people and injured another 558,125?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster
Well, our beloved President has just signed a deal with India which will limit the liability of US nuclear steam supply companies should their equipment cause a disaster of similar (or larger) scale in India:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/25/obama-modi-limit-us-liability-nuclear-disaster
This is "atoms for peace" at its worst ... and a grave insult to the people of India. Gee, I wonder how Kal Penn feels about that?
Q: Why is it okay for India to produce tons of plutonium (all of which can be chemically separated to make atom bombs), but not okay for Iran to even have nuclear power for electric generation or to produce medical isotopes?
A: There is no valid answer to this question, only opposing points of view.

Well, our beloved President has just signed a deal with India which will limit the liability of US nuclear steam supply companies should their equipment cause a disaster of similar (or larger) scale in India:

Homelessness Spreading In The US ???
Homeless camps are becoming a semi-permanent fixture in some areas and also may be spreading:

Is NetanYahoo The De Facto US President ???
Here is an unintended (?) consequence of the Republican victories in the 2014 elections:
Showing who some in Congress believe is the real master of U.S. foreign policy, House Speaker John Boehner has invited Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session and offer a rebuttal to President Barack Obama’s comments on world affairs in his State of the Union speech.
Boehner made clear that Netanyahu’s third speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress – scheduled for Feb. 11 – was meant to counter Obama’s assessments. “There is a serious threat in the world, and the President last night kind of papered over it,” Boehner said on Wednesday. “And the fact is that there needs to be a more serious conversation in America about how serious the threat is from radical Islamic jihadists and the threat posed by Iran.”
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/01/22/congress-seeks-netanyahus-direction/
The only threat from Iran is the one which Israel and their puppets in the US Congress have created. Why are we risking nuclear war for initiatives which only benefit Israel and potentially do great harm to the United States?
If we recognized that Israel is our enemy (and they certainly are), then what Boehner and the others are doing is treason:
US Constitution, Article III, Section 3
1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
You can find a more detailed criticism of what Boehner is doing here:
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Is-John-Boehner-a-Traitor-by-Thom-Hartmann-AIPAC_Iran_Israel_John-Boehner-150123-438.html
Let's face it: "our" Congress no longer works for us. If the oligarchs now meeting in Davos, CH have decided to go to war with Iran, then we're going to war with Iran.
And maybe Russia too.
Will you be able to find the nearest fallout shelter when we do?
Update: An Air Force general apparently has accused some of his men of a treasonous act:
http://www.stripes.com/news/general-s-a-10-treason-comment-sparks-concerns-over-protected-speech-1.325471
If an enlisted airman or AF officer can be brought up on charges of treason, why not the Speaker of the House or even the President himself? Isn't the potential for sedition or treason at the top more of a danger than similar crimes at the bottom?
Second update: Here is another good analysis of Boehner's potentially treasonous act:

The Problem With Operation Merlin
Have you heard of "Operation Merlin", a CIA attempt to give Iran phony bomb part plans?
http://original.antiwar.com/porter/2015/01/23/operation-merlin-another-self-serving-ciaproject/
Has our government done things like this before?
(1) An FBI informant helped terrorists assemble a truck bomb in 1993. What was the result? The first WTC bombing, which killed six people, injured more than a thousand, and caused millions of dollars worth of damage.
(2) An FBI operative gave Kine-Stick detonators to Timothy McVeigh and his accomplices. What was the result? The Murrah Building bombing, which killed 168 people, injured more than 680 others, and destroyed or damaged 324 buildings.
(3) The ATF sent thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to Mexico, many of which would up in the hands of drug cartels. What was the result? At least 150 injuries or deaths, and the facilitation of drug trafficking across the US border.
(4) Apparently the White House and the State Department conducted a gun running operation to provide weapons to Libyan terrorists in the hope they would overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. What was the result? Gaddafi was murdered, our embassy was burned, our ambassador and his guards were killed, and the sovereign nation of Libya was looted and destroyed, with massive loss of life. And Hillary Rodham (a.k.a. Clinton to some of you) joked about it in public (we came, we saw, he died ... ha, ha, ha).
What's my point? The US government often conducts clandestine operations which appear to be benign to US interests and damaging only to our enemies. But often, as the above examples demonstrate, the operations "go sour" and heavy damage to US property and loss of US lives occur.
What if Project Merlin (or something like it) actually gives Iran the information and/or equipment they need to make a bomb, either intentionally or "accidentally"? Then what? How many will die when that happens?
I don't trust any of these bastards. Sooner or later, they're going to get us all killed.
And I don't think they will really care when they do.

Change In Focus
Over the next few weeks I will be spending less time on this blog and more time finishing my latest book.
If I do blog, it will be later in the day rather than first thing in the morning.

Bill Gates' Bizarre Predictions
You don’t generally think of Bill and Melinda Gates as pundits. But with their foundation pouring billions of dollars into global development, in effect the two are in the (highly data-driven) prediction business: placing bets on which investments will change the world the most. In their annual letter, released today, the two hazard some fairly specific guesses about the biggest changes in the world over the next 15 years, from cutting the number of childhood deaths in half and reducing deaths in childbirth by two-thirds to eradicating polio and a farming revolution to make Africa self-sufficient.
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/01/15-big-breakthroughs-in-2015-114486.html
Dear Bill and Melinda:
Hello from the real world.
There are already too many humans on this planet. If you cut childhood and in-childbirth deaths, won't that make the problem worse? Do you plan to kill old people to somehow balance things out?
Also, the US (or maybe we should say global corporations) intends to turn Africa into a natural resources piggy bank, just like they have done to the rest of the world. The economic hit men are going to replace your "self sufficient" farming with monoculture farming to pay off the crushing debt which will be imposed on Africa, and there still won't be enough for them to eat ... especially because you intend to cut down on the number of deaths.
What have you two been smoking?

US Will Send Military Advisers To Ukraine
Here is another ill-advised move by Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions:
The head of the United States Army Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, announced on Wednesday that a contingent of US soldiers will be dispatched to Ukraine in the spring to undertake the training of four companies of the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU). The exact number of American soldiers who will be stationed at the Yavoriv Training Area outside the western city of Lvov has yet to be determined.
The highly provocative move, which follows the positioning of US and NATO forces in Poland and the Baltic states and escalating threats of a military confrontation with Russia, came as the Kiev government steps up its war against pro-Russian separatists in the Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region.
Lt. Gen. Hodges made his announcement on his first visit to Kiev where he met with the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Anatoliy Pushnyakov and the acting commander of the NGU Lt. Gen. Oleksandr Kryvyenko. Hodges told reporters after the meeting he was “impressed by the readiness of both military and civil leadership to change and reform.”
http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-announces-plans-to-deploy-military-advisers-to-ukraine/5426477
This follows the established US pattern:
In other words, make them slaves of the oligarchs who are now meeting in Davos, CH.
An unfortunate side effect might be World War Three, but who gives a damn as long as the Davos thugs can afford $43 hot dogs?
By the way, the last time we sent military personnel to Ukraine was a disaster. During World War Two, the US conducted "shuttle bombing" of Germany as part of Operation Titanic. My dad was one of initial military advisers to go there.
You can watch a video about the operation here:
http://youtu.be/WGKETOf1S-U
The Germans located one of the US airbases in Ukraine and bombed the smithereens out of our planes. That disaster lead to mistrust and further problems with the locals, and Operation Titanic ultimately failed.
Hopefully something similar will not happen this time, but considering the continuing arrogance and ignorance of our military leaders, I would not be surprised if it did.

- Meddle with a nation's culture until it accepts "our way of life".

What The Wealthy Eat At Davos
Billionaires may live in a world untroubled by such petty concerns as rising costs of living and declining real wages, but like everyone else they have to eat. And pay. The picture below shows what the menu prices, in Swiss Francs, are for various meals offered for sale to the billionaires and other upper class "luminaries" currently congregating in Davos. Some examples converted to USD: Hot Dog: $43; Burger: $47; Caesar salad: $55:
I've been to Switzerland a couple times, and it is a very expensive country compared to the US. And the Swiss do charge visitors more than the locals pay for the same food (I was told that by a Swiss citizen).
Even so, this menu should make it obvious that those who meet at Davos live in a totally different world than the rest of us ... a world which they are quite likely to defend against the need of the many.

CIA Did Not Want Prisoners To Tell The Truth
Former FBI agent Ali Soufan was one of the first to interrogate terror suspects at Guantanamo. He later left the prison and criticized torture methods used by the CIA. He accuses the government of turning interrogations of inmates over to outsourced amateurs.
Ali Soufan, a 43-year-old US citizen, worked as a special agent for the FBI until 2005 as part of its efforts to combat terrorism. In March 2002, he and a colleague were the first to interrogate Abu Zubaydah, who at that point was considered the most important al-Qaida prisoner held by the Americans. Because Soufan was born in Lebanon and speaks Arabic, and because he could quote the Koran during questioning, he was able to build up trust with the prisoner.
He was able to glean extensive information from Zubaydah. Nevertheless, the CIA still chose Zubayadah as the first prisoner on whom to test its "enhanced interrogation techniques". He was forced to undergo waterboarding and other cruel measures at least 83 times. In the prison where Zubaydah was interrogated, Soufan met James Mitchell, one of the two highly controversial men behind the CIA interrogation programs. In protest over the torture methods, Soufan left Guantanamo in the summer of 2002.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/former-fbi-official-ali-soufan-condemns-guantanamo-torture-a-1014475.html
This reminds me of what NCIS did when 3 prisoners at GTMO supposedly killed themselves in an alleged act of "asymmetrical warfare". According to research supervised by law professor Scott Horton, the deaths of the prisoners were initially investigated by the cadre at GTMO using standard methods (conducting interviews, having witnesses write statements, etc.). But when NCIS took over, all that was thrown out the window. Key witnesses were never interviewed, and an apparently sham report was prepared in its place:
Four members of the Military Intelligence unit assigned to guard Camp Delta, including a decorated non-commissioned Army officer who was on duty as sergeant of the guard the night of June 9, have furnished an account dramatically at odds with the NCIS report—a report for which they were neither interviewed nor approached.
All four soldiers say they were ordered by their commanding officer not to speak out, and all four soldiers provide evidence that authorities initiated a cover-up within hours of the prisoners’ deaths. Army Staff Sergeant Joseph Hickman and men under his supervision have disclosed evidence in interviews with Harper’s Magazine that strongly suggests the three prisoners who died on June 9 had been transported to another location prior to their deaths. The guards’ accounts also reveal the existence of a previously unreported black site at Guantánamo where the deaths, or at least the events that led directly to the deaths, most likely occurred.
http://harpers.org/archive/2010/03/the-guantanamo-suicides/
The US government NEVER does a real investigation. They decide what answer or result they want FIRST, and then they torture, intimidate or ignore witnesses, and fabricate or destroy evidence to support that desired answer or result.
There are honest people in the US military, but they are being overridden by thugs who are acting not unlike Hitler's Gestapo and SS.

Will Oil Drillers Be Put Out Of Business ???
Oil drillers will begin collapsing under the weight of lower crude prices during the second quarter and energy explorers who employ them will shortly follow, according to Conway Mackenzie Inc., the largest U.S. restructuring firm.
Companies that drill wells and manage fields on behalf of oil producers will be the first to fall after the benchmark American crude, West Texas Intermediate, lost 57 percent of its value in seven months, said John T. Young, whose firm led the city of Detroit through its 2013 bankruptcy.

Maybe the death of King Abdullah will lead Saudi Arabia to change its course and reverse the oil price slide. So far that doesn't seem to be the case:

Why Is Privacy Dead ???
Although you and I are prohibited from hearing what's going on at the World Economic Forum in Davos, CH there are some "leaks" taking place. Here is one such alleged leak:
Imagine a world where mosquito-sized robots fly around stealing samples of your DNA. Or where a department store knows from your buying habits that you're pregnant even before your family does.
That is the terrifying dystopian world portrayed by a group of Harvard professors at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, where the assembled elite heard that the notion of individual privacy is effectively dead.
"Welcome to today. We're already in that world," said Margo Seltzer, a professor in computer science at Harvard University.
"Privacy as we knew it in the past is no longer feasible... How we conventionally think of privacy is dead," she added.
Another Harvard researcher into genetics said it was "inevitable" that one's personal genetic information would enter more and more into the public sphere.
http://news.yahoo.com/privacy-dead-harvard-professors-tell-davos-forum-144634491.html
If privacy is dead, it is precisely because these professors and their ilk have whored themselves out to the oligarchs who attend Davos, and the two groups are working together to destroy our privacy for their personal enrichment.
I don't need the kind of electronic shit currently being produced by them in offshore sweatshop factories. I don't want it. I don't want others to force me to buy it or to use it.
And I certainly don't want anyone to steal my data.
The rationale for what is happening here is the equivalent of the "Doctrine of Discovery" which European invaders used to steal the Americas and other lands from their inhabitants. The Conquistadors of Davos have "discovered" all this data which they say no one knew about and which they maintain no one owns. They therefore feel empowered to take it for themselves through a process of discovery.
If the natives of the Americas had known what would happen to them, they should have repulsed every European expedition which landed on their shores. Isn't it time for us to tell the thugs who meet in Davos that we don't want the way of life (i.e., death) they have in store for us?
If you know what's good for you, you will heed the advice of the Shawnee prophet Tenskwatawa, who was the brother of Tecumseh:
And so you see what has happened to us. We were fools to take all these things that weakened us. We did not need them then, but we believe we need them now. We turned our backs on the old ways. Instead of thanking Weshemoneto for all we used to have, we turned to the white men and asked them for more. So now we depend upon the very people who destroy us! This is our weakness! Our corruption! Our Creator scolded me, “If you had lived the way I taught you, the white men could never have got you under their foot!”

Instead of thanking Weshemoneto for all we used to have, we turned to the white men and asked them for more. So now we depend upon the very people who destroy us! This is our weakness! Our corruption! Our Creator scolded me, “If you had lived the way I taught you, the white men could never have got you under their foot!”
