Anthrax Attack Coverup

Dissident Voice has a good article on the anthrax coverup. Remember those conveniently timed attacks after 9/11?

The recent “suicide” death of the chief suspect Bruce Ivans was more then a little suspicions, but like all coverups, we’re not supposed to be paying attention.  Loose ends have to be tidied up.

The lengths which the rogue elements within the US government will go to kill people and promote their fear agenda is unbelievable. I also suggest you read If We Could Speak to the People, What Would We Say?

Endorsement for President

Here’s a worthy read from Truthout, one you might consider an endorsement for President.

Americans must be as insane as McCain.  Or they’re just too stupid to care anymore, I don’t know which it is.  I pretty much despise all politics and once again, WILL NOT VOTE, because I’m withholding my consent.  But that isn’t going to change the (s)Election outcome in November one iota.  Not even if 10 or 30 million of us withhold our consent. Nothing will, they’ll just crank up the old Diebold again and spew out the results they want.  Business as usual.

But good grief, this guy is a walking, talking fool.  IT IS GEORGE W. BUSH ALL OVER AGAIN.  I doubt very much this country can handle this again, we’re teetering so badly now that another colossal failure in the White House will be just the right nudge to destroy us.  And that is exactly what I suspect will happen if this idiot achieves the presidential seat by any means.

We’ll have to see if they’ll steal the election for a third time, anything is possible now. Expect HUGE voter complaints and discrepancies again, why fix what obviously works?  But I’m not calling the (s)Election yet, I don’t know.  I thought last year that Hillary was their pick, but unless she becomes Veep and Obama is assassinated, then no, she’s not headed for the Presidential pretender position.

But once again — it doesn’t matter.  Nobody is listening, certainly not Congress, nor the American people.  We will get more of the same, only worse.  That flushing, sucking sound you hear when you listen carefully is the vortex of an Empire imploding.  Next, you will hear the titanic crack of nuclear weapons going off as the Empire denigrates its reputation even worse over some undeserving region.

Makes you wonder who they hire as cops these days:

Two off-duty female cops yelled, “We are the police!” - and then pistol-whipped a Bronx man in what authorities call a case of road rage.

NYPD Officers Michelle Anglin, 37, and Koleen Robinson, 24, were charged with assault, gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon for the Williamsbridge beatdown.

It took 25 staples to close the gash in Marlon Smith’s head, authorities said.

Smith, 35, had pulled up alongside Robinson’s black Suburban with his driver’s side car door wide open as the two cars sat near E. 218th St. and White Plains Road at 5p.m. Friday.

“Close the door, you f—— a——!” one of the two off-duty transit cops yelled as Smith came perilously close to scraping Robinson’s SUV.

Smith proceeded to make a big mistake: He yelled at one of the officers, “You are a f—— b—-!”

And then it was on.

Robinson jumped out of the driver’s seat and Anglin got out of the passenger’s side, authorities said.

Smith tried to close his car door but Anglin, a cop since January 2005, was too quick and squirted pepper spray in his face, court records say.

When Smith tried to grab Anglin, Robinson, who joined the NYPD in January 2006, punched him, the records stated.

A witness who tried to break up the brawl heard one or both of the women warn Smith, “Do you know who you are f—— with? We are the police!”

In the melee, Smith tried to grab one of the cops. Smith, the witness, and one of the cops all tumbled to the ground.

As Smith, 5-feet-9, lay on the ground, Robinson, 5-feet-8, 150 pounds, beat him in the head with her baton until he grabbed it out of her hand, authorities said.

Anglin, 5-feet-5 and 138 pounds, then bashed Smith in the face with her gun.

Smith told investigators that at some point he looked up and, squinting, saw one of the women - he couldn’t say which - point a gun in his face.

The NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating the incident.

Smith declined to comment.

Anglin and Robinson were suspended and stripped of their guns as they were arraigned Sunday on the gang assault charges. Robinson’s bail was $10,000 cash or bond. Anglin’s bail was set at $25,000 cash or bond.

More police state news:

The federal government has been using its system of border checkpoints to greatly expand a database on travelers entering the country by collecting information on all U.S. citizens crossing by land, compiling data that will be stored for 15 years and may be used in criminal and intelligence investigations.

Officials say the Border Crossing Information system, disclosed last month by the Department of Homeland Security in a Federal Register notice, is part of a broader effort to guard against terrorist threats. It also reflects the growing number of government systems containing personal information on Americans that can be shared for a broad range of law enforcement and intelligence purposes, some of which are exempt from some Privacy Act protections.

While international air passenger data has long been captured this way, Customs and Border Protection agents only this year began to log the arrivals of all U.S. citizens across land borders, through which about three-quarters of border entries occur. Americans Tracked Across Borders

Unbelievable. Read the entire article. These IDIOTS actually think this is going to reduce our non-existent terrorism (that’s the bullshit story they’re spinning).

“This database is, in a sense, worse than a watch list,” he said. “At least in the watch-list scenario, there’s some reason why the name got on the list. Here, the only thing a person does to come to the attention of DHS is to lawfully cross the border. The theory of this data collection is: Track everyone — just in case.”

Under the system, officials record name, birth date, gender, date and time of crossing, and a photo, where available, for U.S. travelers returning to the country by land, sea or air. The same information is gathered about foreign travelers, but it is held for 75 years.

Exactly how useful is information like this in real life instead of the make-believe fantasy these fools are spinning?

Let’s see, a so-called terrorist act occurs and they check their records. Yep, their suspect “crossed the border” in 1993. BFD, doesn’t mean diddly squat. Either these guys think we are all very stupid, or they’re all very stupid.

It’s clear that YOU are the terrorist here, just for being an American in one of the worst growing police states on the planet. But hey, you still got your Best Buy stores and LCD T.V.’s, so it can’t be all bad.

The Worst Is Yet To Come

454 Views
Filed under: General, Collapse — admin @ 11:23 pm

This is a rather catchy title and it means exactly what it says. The worst is yet to come. This is something I’ve been saying for a long time, but it’s now in the news.

The worst of the global financial crisis is yet to come and a large U.S. bank will fail in the next few months as the world’s biggest economy hits further troubles, former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff said on Tuesday.

The collapsing dominoes in the financial sector has only begun. We’re not even half-way there yet.

“We’re not just going to see mid-sized banks go under in the next few months, we’re going to see a whopper, we’re going to see a big one, one of the big investment banks or big banks,”

I agree, it’s Great Depression all over again, except it’ll be worse (imo). I picked up a book on this subject, titled “The Worst of Times” and so far, I’ve read about two paragraphs, haven’t had the time (no pun intended) to get to it. Other, really important stuff is pressing me right now and the book will have to wait.

But it’s about how serious and severe it was for some people during those days. Looks to be a good read, I’m hoping to pick up a few insights by reading it.

But something else is happening now, something that I predicted would take place for Americans: nationalization of assets. This is something that is a logical outcome to shortages — or serious mismanagement or as a means to retain control.

Rogoff’s comments come as investors dumped shares of the largest U.S. home funding companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Monday after a newspaper report said government officials may have no choice but to effectively nationalize the U.S. housing finance titans. Large U.S. bank collapse ahead, says ex-IMF economist

Hasn’t happened quite yet, but it probably will, and not only financial matters and mortgages, but many other things too, such as tangible assets and critical resources. Think food, water and land, probably even some large corporations that are essential to our survival.

We’ll see, but I pretty much expect it. Huge increases in foreclosures already, up 55%. Don’t bother holding on to your hats, it’s far too late for that now.

Stocks in U.S. Drop on Price Report, Housing Data; Lehman, AIG Shares Fall

I think it’s odd that they keep trying to call this a “recession”, but hey, I can’t add.

Lehman May Take $4 Billion Credit Writedown, JPMorgan Says; Shares Slump

Exclusive Interview: Jim Rogers Predicts Bigger Financial Shocks Loom, Fuelling a Malaise That May Last For Years

There’s more, but dang ….. yawn, it’s late and it isn’t anything I don’t already half-know and have come to expect. Which is what I suspect most of you all know too. We’re cooked and about done too it seems. Nothing we can do about this now expect make your crashstead preps now.

Still seeing a few who want to trade food for silver or gold and I’m still saying “No”. Sorry, it’s just not a fair exchange. I doubt this will make any difference either. My own food supply has swelled with every order cancellation that is coming through that has something I might want or I think I can use, which is why the root cellar project is (supposed) to be taking priority.

Today, I had to work on everything but the root cellar, so nothing got done there, but soon (I hope). All this financial “news” is what we should expect as things collapse even farther. What’s missing is the connection to everything else and even the real reasons why this is happening. Our continued failure to deal with root causes will pretty much guarantee our own collapse, another one of those expected events coming to a door step near you.

Ugly rumor from Nader: Obama picks Clinton for a running mate …. oh boy, or Dear God …. won’t change a thing.

Road rage gone amok — sign of things to come. And in a recent conversation with a friend (ex-teacher and college Director) who is absolutely convinced that the dumbing down of America is no accident, we’ve got this. Just imagine what these hell-holes are going to be like when the lights go out or the food trucks stop running or the water dries up ….

I feel for teachers, I really do. Stuck teaching an out-of-date curriculum that has no bearing at all on real life and living, they hand out pure crap (imo) to braindead teenagers. Or something like that. Some of them are really bright (the students and a few of the teachers), but after four years (or more) of intensive indoctrination and brainwashing, they churn out reams of students that are basically clueless about their real futures and what life has to really offer them. Too bad, they are all in for a hell of a shock.

This an oh crap headline if I ever read one: Breaking — 12,000 More Troops to Afghanistan. I guess them Afghan terrorist are presenting a real and present danger to the Amerikan Homeland which require a greater blood sacrifice. God, you’d have to be so friggin stupid to believe this shit.

Remember the recent blog entry on martial law? Now it’s starting to look like this in “white America” in Hartford, Connecticut. This is yet another example of increased police-state tactics being deployed in the “homeland”, ostentiously to protect us, of course. Of course, so is this. Next, it’ll be DNA sweeps and implant checks to make sure everyone is “in compliance”. Dirtbags. I truly fail to see how this kind of surveillance is going to do anything at all about real crime. Which it won’t.

Oceanic Dead Zones Continue to Spread

336 Views
Filed under: General, Environment — admin @ 6:21 pm

From the Fall of Civilization, the dead zones in the ocean keep getting significantly worse:

More bad news for the world’s oceans: Dead zones—areas of bottom waters too oxygen depleted to support most ocean life—are spreading, dotting nearly the entire east and south coasts of the U.S. as well as several west coast river outlets.

According to a new study in Science, the rest of the world fares no better—there are now 405 identified dead zones worldwide, up from 49 in the 1960s—and the world’s largest dead zone remains the Baltic Sea, whose bottom waters now lack oxygen year-round.

It’s very clear we are not going to be able to do anything about any of these collapsing ecosystems in time. We are already decades too late and the opportunity to reverse these events STILL fails to attract any global interest.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because it will never, ever be this good again.  Count on it.

Only a few dead zones have ever recovered, such as the Black Sea, which rebounded quickly in the 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union and a massive reduction in fertilizer runoff from fields in Russia and Ukraine.

I am no fan of Alex Jones, however there is a lot of information found on the Infowars website. WeeBee sent me this video link that is worth watching:

I still maintain that the “grassroots” movement is a near-total waste of time and effort. The groundswell everyone thinks is needed to change the “system from within the system” (a key component to this line of thought) never happens. Nor does the system itself ever get changed, it just gets progressively worse.

I’m called a pessimist, but I consider this point of view a realist position, as in “Get Real”. We are NOT changing the system as these advocates claim. We NEVER achieve a consensus. Even a million voices change absolutely nothing. Our million man / woman / dog catcher marchers haven’t done diddly squat. That’s reality.

Jones and his audience need to change tactics. Badly. I am not arguing that he’s not doing any good — that’s not my point at all, I’m presenting the view that it is entirely POINTLESS to play their stupid games. STOP DOING IT.

There is another way to “win”, but let me clarify this term here first. There is no “win” — none at all. It’s like claiming you can “win at life”. No you can’t, everyone is going to die. It is the same with the “win” attitude we have towards our politics, our wars, our environment and our civilization. We can’t “win” in the sense of a complete victory, we can never win, not only is someone (a whole lot of someones) going to die, but the trade-offs and compromises we must make to achieve any success (as opposed to “win”) are terrific. They are so large as to scare almost everyone away.

The goal by most ideologist is to reform our system from within. It should be patently clear by now that we cannot do this. We have not been able to do this for many, many years (generations, let’s just be honest here). The tiny victories and “wins” claimed during this time are utterly obscured by the actual course of history and events — and the millions of dead bodies covering them up. Literally.

The system works because we keep playing the game. This is their game, not ours, the one that they setup and the one that they control. They own everything, even the very hairs on the nape of your neck as long as you play by their rules and their game. And it’s a rigged game, one which is intended to keep you indentured and slaving away all the days of your life.

Most people call this “life” and living, I call it slavery, where everything you do is controlled, bought, owned, stamped, approved, regulated and licensed. For this “privilege” of existence (as opposed to a right to exist), you are “free” to buy, sell, consume, pay and tax yourselves to death. Some life that is. The prison bars of this existence are no different then the plantation owners of the past. Or the company stores at the gold mines and coal mines where phony script was passed out for “payment” for sweaty, dangerous labor only good for exchange at company owned stores at company set prices. IT’S THE SAME PRISON FOLKS. Nothing has changed.

This is the “system” that people hope to reform. Like (s)Election cycles, we are offered nothing every four years except more of the same old lies and propaganda. They are deathly afraid of us to realize that these prison bars are the same as before, the same as our parents labored under and the same as their parents did. And you want to reform that?

How exactly? By electing an honest politician? Those three terms don’t even belong together, this is an oxymoron if there ever was one. Our (s)Elections are not ours and never will be again. Not in this life. Only the corrupt and truly evil make it to positions of real power and influence in this world where money caters to greed and profits and the little people remain peons and paupers, forced to buy from the company store the essentials of life (which should all be free).

Or else. Start up your own entrepreneurship and suffer the consequences of being a bright mind with a good idea at a fair price. It’s why we don’t have many technological inventions available to us to this day. You’re stepping on toes here, infringing on profits and territory, their mob-like behavior of muscling you to comply (or die) is reminiscent of gangsters robbing a truck delivery. Not your way — our way, or else.

It’s like this in nearly all aspects of our lives when you critically examine this. Want to build a house? Our way — or else. Raise food? Our way, or else.  Practice medicine (even on yourself).  Our way, or else.  Produce a product of resale? You pay and comply — or else. And we call this living?

How insane must we be to advocate that we reform a system that is so terribly wrong and so terribly designed to enslave and kill us? Even your own children are the chattel of the state that preempts all your rights to their lives and futures. Don’t like the mindless brainwashing crap they put on television? You’re guilty of child abuse for “depriving” your kids.

Wake the fuck up. Nobody is listening, not even the “patriots” and “great Americans”. This system is not worth fixing, none of it. It’s all about death and profits and who controls what. The crumbs we are fed from our masters table are considered our well and do, sufficient payment for our good service and compliance to their system.  And they are quite willing to withhold these crumbs if you disobey.  The lights go off, the water stops and the helicopters will surround you.  Comply or die.  You make a better example for the rest of the sheep if your dead.

But even in death we are still subject to further intrusions and taxation by the greed monsters that own us all, only until our bodies are fully in the ground and rotted to the bones are we ourselves considered “untouchable” (unless your exhumation becomes a trigger point of profit or control for someone). But our estates and assets that we have managed to accumulate still remain the targets for thieves and usurpers to our lives of labor and endeavor for decades.

This whole thing is a game of the worst kind, a rigged system of punishments and levies, prices and profits, permission slips and licenses, all designed to ensure that YOU have nothing of your own, that even your very thoughts are controlled by the airwaves and talking fools who are just as enslaved as you are.

I don’t want to fix this system, I want to see it destroyed and utterly abolished, it’s ashes flushed down the toilet of human history and never to be repeated again.

Of COURSE they are going to control the Internet, you don’t think they do already? Good grief, the entire media circus is one big lie, a fanciful farce of “democracy” and “free speech”.  Those cages they lock you in at a protest are no different the the cages they have placed upon what you are allowed to read.  Everything from a distance, through meshed wire and especially where no one can see you or hear you. You read what they want you to read, including the “alternative news” and views, including my own. Those that step too far out of the circle are simply eliminated and silenced.

This is where the good news of resource collapse comes in. All of this death and destruction and control is only possible through the exploitation of everything within ten miles of the surface of the earth. This is the “dead zone”, where men rule other men with evil exploits and impunity, greed and destruction. But it won’t stop there as the inner Earth is penetrated even farther and space exploration hold the promise of even more destruction. It’s not life we will find out there, it’s just a bigger prison for the inhabitants here.

Resource collapse will not make us free, let me remind everyone of what this really means. It means we will all die quicker then before. It means that our bodies and our lives will be thrown in the gaping maw of the Matrix that much faster, the necessary blood sacrifice to the gods of profits and privilege that our lives “count for something”. Hah, what a sick, sad joke this is. Try telling a red blooded, flag waving patriotic fool today what his sacrifice REALLY means and you will quickly realize, they’re not listening either.

Nobody is listening. Do not be fooled. Nobody is listening. Not even many of you. A caller tried to explain to me how we were going to vibrates ourselves into a new plane of existence by a magical process of wishful thinking. This makes as much sense as us trying to reform a system that is based upon greed and corruption, blood sacrifice and fetid offerings of human flesh. Wake the fuck up.

I wasn’t listening either, because human history is replete with the examples of fools who have taught such things for thousands of years, and yet we are all still here. It is still the same place as it ever was, as far as we are concerned. Humans remain the same frail, fallible and incredibly gullible creatures we ever were. Except now it’s a bit worse, because they have taken this to entirely new levels. The Rand Foundation and many, many others have demonstrated just now stupid we can really be, leading us around with rings in our noses to believe and follow their every whim and decree as if it were the Gospel from On High. And many of us remain stupid enough to follow this, breathing it in as if it was manna from heaven.

Some poor sap in Spokane has a giant sized flag that he flies over his entire city street. His claim is America is the greatest country on Earth while violating city ordinances, not something we have not all heard before. I figure the supersized flag was his way of trying to cover up all the bloodstains we have caused. He’s not listening either. The truth is, nobody is, not even me. That cacophony of background noises that passes for “life” in this world is just a screech now, a howling wind of evil foreboding and evil desire.

The solution isn’t reform, but nobody is listening.

Absolute positive proof politicians are blithering idiots:

“Now if somebody wants to sue us, they have an option to sue, but I’m fairly certain that a judge will see it the way the way the citizens see it here,” Mayor James Valley said. “The citizens deserve peace, that some infringement on constitutional rights is OK and we have not violated anything as far as the Constitution.” Crime-ridden Arkansas town expands 24-hour curfew

Nothing like illegal stop and searches with fully automatic weapons in Amerika. The ends justify the means (in their minds), never mind the Constitutional rights of the people involved.

If that idiot statement above by the mayor wasn’t enough, check this out:

We would do better if we just elected children to office, but if we did that, the political pedophiles wouldn’t leave them alone.
