While full body scanners are great for looking at nake pictures of childern, they might not really do much for security. Apparently scientists have announced that there is a material available that makes things invisible to the terahertz radiation (the kind used in the full body scanners).
It apparently was developed with a grant of 4.9 million Euros, so it doesn’t seem too hard. But we will keep the full body scanners, because pedophiles love them, and the scanners destroy your DNA, all things that make the government happy.

After the United States Supreme Court overturned the Chicago gun ban, we can expect the Mayor (who doesn’t see the double standard in his having armed police guards) to further tell people that when they are being beaten or robbed, that they should just comply, just like all the passengers and pilots did in the government 9-11 story.
Strangely, since the D.C. gun ban was struck down, the murder rate in DC has dropped by 3 times the national average putting it back to where it was over 40 years ago!
In other words, more guns = less crime, but don’t let that get in the way of disarming the peasants.

First, I appreciate the services that Google offers, but I have to say that the trend towards Google’s censoring of the internet is disturbing.
I admit that I was saddened when I found out that unless you EXPLICTLY target my web site, Google will return zero results. It seems that it could be worse. Apparently Google has decided (much like Obama has said to do) that certain “information” is harmful for people to have, namely that Obama’s Social Security Number was issued to someone who applied for it in Connecticut.
I’ve long believed that the problem with Google is that it is a part of the intelligence community, which was it’s real problem with China, not that fake argument about censorship, because Google has been controlling the information that it returns for a while now, it’s just becoming more blatant.
The real reason why Obama wants Kagan on the Supreme Court is so that Obama (or his succesor) can control the internet. Under Kagan the office of the Solicitor General has stated that she believes the government should be able to ban books that it does not like. I find it interesting that so many so called “liberal” or progressives stay silent when a Democratic president wants to appoint fascists to the Supreme court.
Finally I wasn’t going to mention it, but also no one on the so called “left” is crying about how, if Kagan is appointed to the Supreme Court, 2% of the population will make up 33% of the Supreme Court, now that’s commitment to diversity (for Pat Buchanan’s article about this click here).

Of course he probably SAVED their lives, as three people were breaking into the house, but you know we should just hope that the police will help us. (The whole story is here). Good thing the boy doesn’t live in the EU, there they are upfront that the government loves criminals, they help keep the rest of the people in their place. The sad thing is that the police can not be counted on to help you, unless you are their friends. For instance here is a story about a man where the state police followed him WALKING home to his house, and then broke in and arrested him for drunk driving because some officer didn’t like him at the super market! Of course when they were at his door he was on the phone with the police, but in the “public interest” the tapes are not being released.
Face it, the government is not going to save you, it’s not there to protect you, and for sure it’s not there to serve the common person. It’s like all these people throwing money to the Clinton-Bush machine for Haiti, which, according to C. Story (who has published the International Currency Review for around 40 years now), it’s all a big show to get more money into the Clinton-Bush hidden bank accounts. Like the Katrina cash, all that money is flowing around, without any accountability, it’s a criminal’s dream come true.

Some people might be aware of Obama’s executive order that gave Interpol diplomatic immunity, some people argue that Obama was forced to do so due to corruption in the government. Regardless of the WHY, the fact is that Interpol is not subject to U.S. law while operating in the United States, while this might be needed to “clean house”, there is a police force that no U.S. court has jurisdiction over operating in the United States, which means that Habeas Corpus (which has been gutted in any case) has been completely eliminated in the United States whenever Interpol wants to grab someone. The last president to do this was Lincoln.
While it should be obvious that our government is corrupt, and that something should be done about this, I don’t think that the long term outlook for American soveriegnty is good. In fact the editor of International Currency Review who claims that this is a good thing, also says that it was done so that a $47 TRILLION DOLLAR lien could be enforced by international interests (the editor of International Currency Review is British, and tends to support the interests of the British Royal family in my opinion) .
I don’t know whether Interpol being able to act freely in the United States is a good thing or not, since the reality is that there have long been that the American justice system is a cruel joke for most people, unless you are well connected politically, now it essentially doesn’t exist. But I do wonder, what court can you challenge the actions of Interpol in? Looking at the legal materials on the Interpol website, I see no court jurisdiction mentioned.
But it’s for our own good, so be happy!

People might think I am happy that there is so much support for positions I have taken over the years, but actually I was hoping to be proven wrong, not validated. In any case Veterans Today has an article by Webster Tarpley in which he claims that the White House is looking into “moles” who might have aided the patsey in his failed attempt. We have the FBI trying to get Kurt Haskell to change his story, for those that don’t know Kurt Haskell is the attorney who saw Abdulmutallab being assisted in getting past the normal security screening in Amsterdam (he also saw the arrest of a second manthat the FBI initially tried to hide). Kurt has been demanding that the video from Amsterdam be released, but I think we will find that the tapes conveniently malfunctioned once more. Let’s face it when the government pays 1 million dollars for a device you can make for $250 justifying it with “homeland security” there are a lot of people who profit from keeping the people afraid.
To tie all this back to 9/11 we find that the same private security company that was responsible for security at all the airports that the 9/11 hijackers used, that Richard Reid (shoe bomber) used also was handling security in Amsterdam. What an incredible coincidence! Who is going to benefit from more wars and misery? Let’s face it the whole constant war is dragging America down.
It’s gotten so bad that Bono (the pop music star) has been citing Chinaof an example of how countries should handle the Internet! Everywhere you look people are talking about how great China is, and of course, while the United States invests in destruction, China is building the fastest rail links in the world. Of course, they also have a one-child policy, that the leaders of the world think all the peons should adopt. I guess taking pregnant women off the street and doing forced abortions will be part of the Obama health plan soon.
The sad thing about the current state of affairs is all the abuse that people who said things were heading in this direction have been taking for the last 30 years as America was systematically destroyed. I am sure that they would rather have been wrong as well.

Jonathan Elinoff has written about 33 “Conspiracy Theories” that turned out to be true after all. Of course these are all from the past, because we know that governments and people are more honest now.
This is why Bloomberg has a report on the new banking regulation bill that authorizes the Federal Reserve to provide as much as 4 TRILLION dollars without any further action by either the congress or the executive branch. No wonder why banks are buying even more bad debt (source) then they were before the sky was falling intervention. That doesn’t mean you can get a home loan, just that the banks can buy more risky investments, because you will get the bill.
And of course, it’s not just U.S. banks that the Federal Reserve will bail out, it sent 500 BILLION dollars to overseas banks, because heck why not help out the real owners of America! The Federal Reserve won’t say which banks got your money, because, it doesn’t have to. That’s change we can believe in.
The false choices of “Democrat” or “Republican” has to stop. But then again, people are stupid, as this article (with a poll) claims that most people believe we are still in “dire peril” of global warming, even as the BBC has to change headlines from saying that this was the “coldest December since 1981″ (the Irish Times, however still says that it was the coldest in 28 years). I mean where is that global warming that we need to spend 7 TRILLION dollars to stop? We are headed for even more cold weather across the United States, but people still believe that the arctic ice is melting, rather than increasing at a RECORD pace.
Of course, if you want to talk Carbon Dioxide, what about the report that there has been NO INCREASE in the fraction of Carbon Dioxide from man in 160 years!
But facts don’t matter, there is an agenda going on, one that includes getting people to accept having their DNA ripped apart by back scatter radiation every time they fly (see this report and this one as well). In fact some people point out how these deadly machinse wouldn’t have even done anything to stop the “Christmas” bomber, some papers are going so far to say it’s all just another scam! Funny how they let a guy get on a plane who is on a watch list, whose own father was calling to warn people about, whose underwear looks barely singed (see this article) and in return for the ineptitude of the government, we give these idiots more power to make life miserable for the normal people.
This only accentuates the difference between the rulers and the masses, because if you have a private plane (or a government plane at your disposal, like Pelosi), none of these measures bother you.
People might look back at the days of Bush with fondness, what with Obama getting the Supreme Court to say torture isn’t really torture if the executive branch says you aren’t a person, funny how the “liberal” media hasn’t mentioned that. Of course that’s because they are so happy with the Obama administration, they are actually getting married to members of his staff!
Yet, we the people, stand idly by as unsafe vaccines are mandated, the reality is that while vaccines might reduce the risk of getting one illness, they INCREASE the risk of getting others, and can even cause infertility (which some people claim is the point of mandatory vaccination).
Now that they have “proven” technology that can convert thoughts to words, it’s only a matter of time before we really can be tried for “thought crimes”.
But then again, until bad things happen, I am just a conspiracy theorist.

It seems that electro convulsive therapy (ECT) is making a come back. People apparently can call the non medically trained ticket writers to administer ECT treatments to their children free of charge in some towns in America.

In a strange story that I thought must be a hoax, the Daily Mail has reported that actor turned governor Schwarzeneger is backing a ban on television sets larger than 40 inches.
This might actually be a good time to buy a television set from a store in California, because they are going to be desperate to get these televisions out of the store before the silver screen idol takes away the legal ability to see the big screens to ordinary people in California, because after all, government knows best.

According to the Telegraph, the Whitehouse has said that news organizations that are critical of Barrack Obama are subject a new policy, with Anita Dunn stating
we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organisations behave
Apparently while it was real news to point out flaws in Bush, pointing out flaws in Obama is something that the White House considers to be bordering on hate speech, with Obama pushing the new hate speech law through congress while people are watching the health care issue.
Now I agree with the White House that Fox is not a real news organisation, but I think that way about all the “mainstream media”. I saw a news report about how 50 people gathered the other day for “immigration reform” in Chicago, and wonder why they don’t report other events. Actually I don’t wonder, I know it’s because they select the news to fit the agenda that they want, just as I (and any other writer/reporter) do.
The problem isn’t that the “mainstream media” tells us what to think, the problem is that people keep treating the mainstream media as if they are the final say in what is or isn’t true. As a people we all want to believe that we are not easily fooled, and we definitely don’t want to admit that we’ve been tricked for years, but the sad fact is that while the news might be true, relaying truth is not the purpose of the “news”. What their agenda is, I don’t claim to know, but it does seem to be resulting in the destruction of what people have thought to be American values.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I don’t even claim to be infallible, but I think it will be a sad day in America when Obama gets his way and signs the Hate Bill into law that will make thought crimes an offical crime in America. Unfortunately no one will be able to report about it.

It seems that Cass Sunstein, Obama’s nominee for some sort of regulatory czar, had proposed a plan that even he (a law school professor) said would probably be unconstitutional,where people on the internet would be required to display opposing viewpoints.
Now this alone would be disturbing, but the movement towards a vote on the “hate speech” bill makes the issue of freedom of speech a little more pressing than most people realize. For instance, according to Janet Porter, the hate speech bill:
specifically targets anyone who dissents to the homosexual agenda as aiding in the commission of a crime, making them “punishable as a principal.”
Of course that would make Carrie Prejeana federal felon at any point if she continues to hold her views. Now I know there are those who diminish her because she was in a beauty pageant(much like Sarah Palin once was). I have to tell you that the only people I know who watched that pageant where, uh, women.
Let’s face it, in today’s world the Miss America pageant is a lot more tame than most of what people get on the internet where sex is allowed to be promoted, but opposing viewpoints are not. But much as people (such as me at times) want to blame the politicians, the blame falls more correctly on the people of America. Unfortunately the politicians are a reflection of the decay of American society and the decline in rational thinking.
That said, I entirely understand the unwillingness of people to be the nail that stands out (and gets hammered). But at some point people need to wake from their slumber and take responsibility for what is going on. Hopefully they will do it while it is still legal to express dissent.

Recently Carrie Pejean gave an honest (and polite) answer to a loaded question, and as a result was called all sorts of names. This all part of the bias against tradition values in America.
What most people are unaware of is that there are bills in congress right now to make what Carrie said a FEDERAL hate crime! I think that these steps are part of the process of controlling what people believe, similar to the novel 1984.
By criminalizing comments, the discussion of certain ideas is made illegal, and it has already happened in cases in the United States. If you have information about drugs or explosives on a web page, you can go to jail. I find that by looking at the UK, I can get an idea of the policies that will be put into place in the United States (like cameras that are used to issue tickets). While the UK is increasingly friendly to immigrants, one of the Prime Minister’s leading advisers has said that the natives of the UK must reduce their numbers. Already the steps towards this punishment of the people who are citizens of only one nation is being pushed in the United States, where illegal immigrants are given special treatment, while the government instead targets veterans as dangers to America. I find it amazing that with unemployment at least at 20%, and unemployment benefits running out for many, Obama is working on giving money away to people who are here illegally, while claiming that veterans are the real danger to Americans. Of course some say that this is part of Obama’s war on labor, but I tend to think it’s part the steps that are needed to force Americans into accepting global governance.
Even now, companies that got bailout money are trying to shutdown sites that are critical of them. And they aren’t even real people. Of course, in Australia some think it’s a crime to even know that the government won’t let you view websites.
Some countries in the free world are moving to try and capture all internet traffic that a person has, and meanwhile we cry about how the Chinese are going to get our email. At the same time, in the UNITED STATES the government can seize all your electronic equipment if someone sees you typing commands on computer instead of clicking with a mouse!
And talking about any of these things can be considered hate speech, but we are supposed to embrace the “happy thoughts” or we are obviously anti social criminals who should be taken care of one way or another.
As long as people continue to chase dreams, and fail to see what is really happening, I don’t see any real hope for America, but Obama isn’t the one to blame for this, it’s all the people that fail to think, and just want to be part of the (mad) crowd.

The American dream is becoming just that, merely a dream. The United States is marching off a cliff with Obama playing the tune that the people are marching to.
We have the strange issue where the Department of Homeland Security is arguing that veterans are a threat to America (but when they are working for the government and are armed they are not, just when they are no longer armed).
The current trend towards a police state is shown by a New Yorker who was arrested and held for 24 hours without being told why) because as he found out (days later) at one time (many years ago) he had walked a dog without a lease. This is at the same time that people who are in this country illegally (except for the Irish, who are the targets of a nationwide crackdown) are routinely let go.
The sad thing about this is that when these people are working for the official government they are assumed to be right no matter what they do, but when they are disarmed and supposedly free, they are threats to the power system.
The truly frightening thing is that most people seem to like things this way.

Recently I had a conversation with a person who was very concerned about the plans for mandatory service for some people. All I could say is that I wish that I was wrong all these years, because where the United States seems to be headed is not in a positive direction.
In fact, some argue that the government considers us all terrorists now (no really read this).
Of course, the Obama government is all about rewarding the banks while punishing the working class. Obama insider George Soros is “having a great crisis” calling it “the culmination of his life’s work” (I wish I was making this up). Meanwhile after giving even more money to AIG, Obama is taking a tough stance with the Auto companies.
Rolling Stone magazine (apparently the only major media outlet that can research complete financial issues) recently published a story about AIG. The story goes like this, AIG wanted to sell financial instruments, so they had a London subsidary create these products call Credit Default Swaps (CDS), which is the insurance on Collatoralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) which were packages of mortgages. Now AIG didn’t want to be regulated as an insurance company or by the EU authorities, so it bought a savings and loan, and got itself classified as a “thrift” so it could be regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (a joke of a name, since it didn’t supervise AIG).
The nice thing about CDS’s is that AIG did not have to actually have the money to insure these things, so AIG insured over $500 BILLION of CDO’s. That means that all the money that AIG is losing (and it will probably lose at LEAST $300 BILLION more) goes into the pockets of Obama’s banker friends, the same friends who are AT THE SAME TIME, cashing in from the government purchases of other crap (because the NEED more money).
I had people tell me I was too hard on Obama during the election, and I don’t really blame him, he has been an advocate of socialism for years, it’s the 50+ million Americans that voted for him that are really the problem, because as long as he has his fanatical supporters, it’s hard to see this thing turning around.
But George Soros is smiling all the way to the bank.

According to this article, police in America (actually the Chicago area) have taken to stopping entire TRAINLOADS of people on their way to work, and searching them for “contraband”. The police were armed with rifles and the passengers had to “keep their hands up” according to some other reports.
It’s bad enough that people get searched riding planes, but at least you give implicit consent to, and are warned about that search. Now it appears that there is the presumption in AMERICA that you have consented to be searched if you use public transportation.
Of course, since these were people in Illinois, there will be no outcry, because people in Illinois are stupid and love their corrupt government.
[Update: It appears that this action was justified because a Secret Service agent told someone he had a gun]

Disinter has an article about how Red Light Cameras increase accidents. I can say that I have seen red light cameras that flash their bright lights even when the lights are supposed to let people go. Nothing like having a bright light flash in your eyes as you are driving at night to “prevent” accidents.

Recently I read a story about a federal judge who may (I have to say may, or I could be sent to jail like Rick Stanley) have violated the Judicial Code of Conduct. Of course, no one expects anything to happen to this judge (maybe a letter), because it seems that judges are above the law.
Of course, every once in a while a judge gets thrown off the bench, but the rarity of this event underscores the special position that judges in America have. Actually to be quite honest, it’s probably the same in just about every country. The world religion is “law” and the high priests are “judges”.
Challenging the judges will bring the same result as blasphemy would have in the dark ages, imprisioned until you recant and see the error of your ways. Because there is only the religion of law.
It’s not just judges that are immune to being reigned in, as the Palin troopergate incident shows, police officers quite literally are above the law as well.
I mean just recently they finally (after dropping two other cases) booked a police officer who was running around(allegedly raping children. Gives you something to think about when you tell children that police men are their “friends”.
The more corrupt the person, the more power we seem to give them. Look at the NYPD police officer who was in charge of the Equal Oppurtunity Office there, who recently resigned because he was found guilty of sexual harrassment. Meanwhile police are arresting elderly women who decide to keep balls that are thrown at them.
It’s no wonder that we are giving 70 Billion dollars in bonuses to the managment of Wall Street banks, in spite of the fact that we had to give them $700+ billion dollars, because the laws only matter for the poor guy on the street, not the rich guys (it’s not a race thing, it’s about power and money).
Banks are borrowing record amounts every day (Reuters had reported over 400 Billion) because the banks wanted to gamble. And why not? The people at the banks can bleed the company dry and walk away (actually fly away in their private jets) with applause from the people who wish they could do the same, and as long as you are willing to pick up the tab, why should they care?
Congress will continue to transfer the wealth of the nation to a few wealthly elite, while we give them the support through voting for the people who sell us down the river.

Lately a there has been a lot of news about pirates. It seems that ever since there have been people on ships, there have been pirates to intercept the goods carried on the ships.
Of course some were countries, like the North African Barbary pirates, who enslaved over 1 million Europeans (hmm Africans enslaving others, strange, I must have missed that in my all white people are evil class), but in any case there were pirates, and those that operated under the aegis of a country were called privateers.
The point of this is that the private corporation Blackwater, without a letter of marque (as far as I know), is offering the services of it’s private warship to protect the shipments of companies.
So if it engages what it considers to be a “hostile” force, will it be as a pirate or a privateer?

World Net Daily has an article that reports at the arm twisting that went on to pass the sell out bill. Members of Congress were told that Martial Law would be declared if they failed to pass the bill. In fact a combat brigade was assigned, according to the Army Times, the same mission they had in Iraq, only this time in the United States, starting October 1st. The bailout has worked so badly that even the bond market is now said to be in danger.
This comes just after recent revealations that police have been classifying peace activists as terrorists, including nuns, priests, and other people, because that way they no longer have to get warrants. There are even reports of policing arriving to stop people from committing suicide or hurting themselves, and the police just killing the person.
The fact is that Bloomberg had reported that a bailout might require as much as 5 TRILLION dollars, not the 700 Billion, if the government started down that road, backon Sep 22, 2008. Of course it seems to me that is whole thing is on purpose, because we keep ignoring the people who warned about this (e.g. Ron Paul) and instead insist on giving even more power to the people that are robbing us.
According to the editor of International Currency Review (published since 1969), the true scoop of this financial meltdown is well known to the insiders, and the media is just feeding us a pack of convenient lies to keep us all dumb and happy.
