Small Town To Be Lorded Over By Thugs

Hilton showed up in vehicles with this phony police emblem

American Police Force Corporation Takes Over Small Town Police Force and Prisoner-Less Jail

"HARDIN, Mont. (CBS/AP) This is the strange story of how American Police Force, a little known company which claims to specialize in training military and security forces overseas, has seemingly taken control of a $27 million, never-used jail, and a rural Montana town's nonexistent police force. After arriving in this tiny city with three Mercedes SUVs marked with the logo of a police department that has never existed, representatives of the obscure California security company said preparations were under way to take over Hardin's jail, which has no prisoners."

"The agreement with American Police Force has been heavily promoted by members of the city's economic development branch, the Two Rivers Authority. Authority Vice President Albert Peterson on Friday repeated his claim to be “100 percent” confident in the company. The lead public figure for American Police Force, Michael Hilton, said more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center."

From Pro Libertate - "What appears to be happening here -- and until relevant details are pried out of the prehensile grip of the people running things, we can't know for sure -- is nothing less than a corporatist-style military coup: the takeover of a small town in Montana by a politically connected, federally subsidized paramilitary organization."

Taking privatization to it's insane conclusion. The Blackwater type company will take over an empty jail and promise to fill it although both the state and the feds say they have no plans to send prisoners there. Presumably the APF means they'll find adequate numbers of inmates among the citizenry of Hardin.
Here's the company's reassuring banner:



The county sheriffs should throw these posers out of the state. I'm sure we'll shortly see some interesting revelations about this organization.
Whoa, that didn't take long.
Yeah I'd love to see this guy and his crew patrolling the streets.

Hardin Jail Entrepreneur Has Checkered Past

"BILLINGS – Michael Hilton pitched himself to officials in Hardin, Mont. as a military veteran turned private sector entrepreneur, a California defense contractor with extensive government contracts who promised to turn the rural city's empty jail into a cash cow.Hardin's leaders were desperate to fill the $27 million jail, which has sat empty since its 2007 completion.So when Hilton came to town last week — wearing a military-style uniform and offering three Mercedes SUVs for use by local law enforcement — he was greeted with hugs by some grateful residents. The promise of more than 200 new jobs for a community struggling long before the recession hit had won them over.
But public documents and interviews with Hilton's associates and legal adversaries offer a different picture, that of a convicted felon with a number of aliases, a string of legal judgments against him, two bankruptcies and a decades-long reputation for deals gone bad."
"As for Hilton's military expertise, including his claim to have advised forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, those interviewed knew of no such feats. Instead, Hilton was described alternately by those who know him as an arts dealer, cook, restaurant owner, land developer, loan broker and car salesman — always with a moneymaking scheme in the works."

Wouldn't you know.

Pay No Attention To Israel's Nuclear Weapons, Either

Or that the shitty little terror state refuses to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty, or that it refuses inspection of it's nuclear facilities. No, just believe the latest manufactured ziocrisis.

Key facts to keep in mind while opposing war against Iran

"Representatives of Iran and six of the world's most powerful countries are scheduled to meet this week in Geneva, one of a series of events that increasingly looks like a rerun of the build-up to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
As we prepare for a barrage of anti-Iranian media spin, it would be good for anti-war activists to remember five basic facts:
One: There is absolutely no evidence that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
Two: The U.S. has not discovered a “secret nuclear facility” in Iran.
Three: The recent Iranian tests of long-range missiles is a purely defensive exercise.
Four: Despite what we all have repeatedly heard, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does not deny the Holocaust. (Please see quotes below.)
Five: Iran has a lot of oil. A whole lot.
On Oct. 1, a senior Iranian diplomat is to meet with representatives of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: the U.S., U.K, France, Russia and China, plus Germany, a group dubbed the G-5-plus-1. These will be the first international talks to address Iran's nuclear program in more than a year.
During these negotiations, Iran will attempt to discuss a wide range of issues. The six countries – or at least the U.S., U.K., France and Germany – will make demands on Iran's nuclear program that they already know will be rejected. These four most powerful Western nations will then move to impose even harsher sanctions than the three sets they have already rammed through the U.N. Security Council."

One more thing. We should never, ever forget that we're ruled by psychopaths, deeply disturbed, sick shits who formulate viciously destructive policies while posing with smiles in expensive suits. This entire crisis contrivance is pre arranged theater exactly like how the mass nurderers and their minions raped Iraq.

Dry Heaves And Sucker Ploys

The Great New Iran "Crisis"

"The new "Iran crisis" is such a sickening concoction of stupidity and lies that it almost defies comment. It certainly defies contemplation; even to think about it for thirty seconds is enough to bring on a bout of the dry heaves.

Fortunately, several other writers -- with iron-clad innards, no doubt -- have boldly waded in and dismantled the deception behind the manufactured hissy fit over Iran's "secret nuclear facility." Jason Ditz at Antiwar.com gives a good overview of the case, which, shucked of all the warmongering frenzy, boils down to this little nubbin of reality:

Iran was building a new nuclear enrichment facility, as it is allowed to do by international treaty. The United States and several other Western countries knew about the facility for years. The facility, which is still months away from completion, is not designed to enrich uranium to weapons grade. Iran is not required to inform the IAEA about any new enrichment plant until six months before the plant goes into operation. There is some quibbling about a codicil that was meant to require Iran to give extra early notice; but this was never ratified by the Iranian legislature, so Iran is in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty which it signed and ratified years ago. (As opposed to such already nuclear armed American allies as India and Israel.) The facility was not secret, it can't build bombs, it is not even finished, and it has no nuclear material in it.

Er, that's it. But upon this paper-thin foundation, a vast fortress of sinister bullshit has been erected by the "progressive" American president and his laughable lapdogs in London and Paris."

I would add that There's absolutely nothing Iran can do to appease it's warmongering detractors. The west will continue to move the goalposts no matter how much Iran capitulates to demands about it's nuclear energy plants, and the Iranians are smart not to play that ziofascist game.

What's The Border Fence Good For?

Subsidizing Mexican Scrap Metal Entrepreneurs

"The Christian Science Monitor:

So far, it has been breached 3,363 times, requiring $1,300 for the average repair. . . . Despite the price tag of maintaining the border fence, authorities have not found a way to determine whether it is helping to halt illegal immigration, the GAO report says.

The only semi-relevant stats we got are the number of illegal border border-crossers being caught by the US Border Patrol, which has dropped by 25 percent in recent times. But that doesn’t tell us much. “No one knows whether the decrease in crossers is due to the recession keeping people home, the thousands of new border patrol agents or the more than 600 miles of new border fence that has been built,” says NPR.
There is one thing we can be sure of: the massive steel pylons have been a boon for Mexican scrap metal entrepreneurs, who are able to supplement their incomes by dragging off whole sections of the fence right under the nose of our beefed up Border Patrol."

Turkish President Speaks Truth About Israel

Erdogan:Focus on Israeli nukes not Iran N energy program

"The Turkish president has condemned Western countries' focus on Iran's nuclear program, stressing that the world should deal with Israel's nuclear weapons instead. Turkey's "Radikal" newspaper on Sunday reported that Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strong comments against Israel's nuclear program was similar to his "one minute" stance in Davos in January when he walked out of a televised debate with his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres. Erdogan told reporters in New York that Iran's nuclear program is not aimed at "military ends". The Turkish president noted that Israel has "nuclear weapons" and has used "phosphorous bombs" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. "Why these are not on the agenda? It is always Iran…" Erdogan told reporters in New York. "If only Iran is put on the world agenda, then we may neglect other issues such as the Gaza [conflict] that should be addressed," he said."

He really should watch his back after saying such things.
Oh, that's right.

Standoff In Honduras Getting Much Uglier

Exactly three months ago President Manuel Zelaya Rosales of Honduras was ousted in a coup by fascist elements closely tied to the US. A week ago he quietly returned from exile in Nicaragua and took refuge at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.

Funny how the traitorous elements cite the Honduran constitution to defend their action but have since suspended that very same body of laws.
Everybody in Latin America knows Zelaya is the legitimate president and they also know the coup plotters have a chummy relationship to the american government and spook agencies, although Washington is doing it's best to appear innocent.
A little hard to do when the secretary of state is head of a corporation that sponsors the coup leaders. And when the plane that flew Zelaya out of the country stopped to refuel at Palmerola, a hotbed of US military and spooks.
And what do you know, lo and behold, america's bestest little buddy is carrying water for the O administration and is neck deep in helping to install the fascist regime down there.

Israeli Commandos with Experience in Palestine and Colombia are Training the Honduran Armed Forces

(translation) "Yesterday CODEH put out a news release denouncing a variety of things, among them that Micheletti’s de facto government has contracted with Israeli commandos or people to train the Honduran military/police forces. What we know from the civil war in Colombia is that these commandos have also been advising the Colombian military forces. What are the Israelis doing here?
Andrés Pavón (AP): Until now what we know is that their mission is to prepare the Armed Forces and the police to aggressively and violently dissuade the demonstrations, by committing crimes of a selective nature in order to build fear, staged terror, and achieve a dismantling of the resistance."

Life inside the embassy is uncomfortable, to say the least. the coup ringleader Roberto Micheletti cut off electricity and water and ringed the place with troops that deny anyone access. Zelaya and his family share four rooms with around forty government officils. But it's the criminal activity happening outside that's the real danger. The coup has decided to endanger the health of everyone in the building with acoustic, electromagnetic and chemical attacks.

"While acoustics weapons have been used over the past several days, on Friday the Armed Forces sprayed the Embassy with poisonous gases and by some accounts pumped them into the building through the drainage system. The Honduran News Network reports that First Lady Xiomara Castro de Zelaya climbed a ladder to ascertain the source of the attacks and was sprayed with chemicals. She and others in the Embassy are reportedly experiencing bleeding as a result of the effects of the chemicals.
Father Andres Tamayo described the situation to Radio Progreso, "Over a thousand soldiers in front (of the Embassy) left and returned with a cistern and helicopters spraying gases. There are also neighbors that lent their houses to spray these things and house the military. They have placed pipes to spread the gases. We feel a tightness in our stomachs and throat, vomiting, dizziness and some people are urinating blood. There are more than a thousand people around here and at this moment all we can do is drink a little milk."

Not surprisingly our little terror state buddy is helping the coup leaders in their war crimes:

Israeli Firms Sell Toxins to Honduras Putschists

"New York - Honduran Foreign Minister Patricia Rodas denounced that two Israeli companies supplied putschists with the toxic gases thrown inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, where President Manuel Zelaya is staying."We have received information that the chemicals and arms have been supplied by Alfacom and Intercom companies, owned by Israeli Yehuda Leitner," Rodas said in press conference in thit city.After putschists soldiers threw gases inside the embassy, nearly 80 people have had headaches, vomiting, diarrhoeas, and nose bleeding over the last hours.Dr. Mauricio Castellano stated that air samples taken in the embassy's surroundings had high concentrations of hydrogen cyanide, which obstructs breathing when it gets in contact with iron levels in the blood.Rodas, who is attending the 64th General Assembly of the United Nations, called for the international community to send a medical mission to her country to examine those poisoned."

This whole sorry episode is just once again money and power protecting it's priveledge at the expense of latin american people. Zelaya was too supportive of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA), a competitor to the Free Trade Area of the Americas dominated by the US. He stated just before the coup that he wanted to move Tegucigalpa's international airport, a dangerous place to fly, to that Palmerola airbase with it's long runways, thus upsetting the cozy military relationship with american spy agencies and their probable drug running. Any talk of workers' health and rights made certain elements uncomfortable, according to Wayne Madsen - "Many of Canada's mining companies in Honduras, especially those involved in gold mining, are linked to Israeli investors."
Like Goldcorp's San Martin mine.

The coup plotters have suspended civil liberties, installed curfews and gave the Brazilian embassy ten days to hand Zelaya over. To his credit "Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva responded, saying that his government "doesn't accept ultimatums from coup-plotters."
There have been ten people killed and a lot injured. Massive demonstrations are planned this week against the fascists.
Almost eight million Hondurans are not stupid and realize the sinister forces at work that stole their democracy and would keep them in chains if the fascists get away with this.

Flu Season Is Over In The Southern Hemisphere. What Have We Learned?

Fear the vaccine, not the swine flu itself

"People in the southern hemisphere have recovered quite nicely from their "flu season" without having taken flu vaccines, with general agreement that it was no worse than a normal winter."

Report: Summary Of Southern Hemisphere Flu Season from the Institute of Medicine

"All countries report that after mid July, disease activity in most parts of the country decreased. This indicates that the duration of the current influenza season in the Southern Hemisphere, in which the 2009 H1N1 virus is the predominate strain, may be similar in length to an average seasonal influenza season."

"Health care systems experienced stress, but it was generally geographically isolated and relatively short lived.."

Settlers chop down Nablus olive grove on eve of harvest

"Nablus – Ma’an – Dozens of chainsaw-wielding Israeli settlers cut down more than 150 olive trees in to the northern West Bank village of Burin, south of Nablus on Monday.
The assault came a few days before Palestinian farmers throughout the country begin harvesting their olives.
According to Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian official in charge of monitoring settlement activity in the northern West Bank, dozens of Israelis from the settlement Yitzhar raided fields in the area of Khallat Siwar between the villages of Huwwara and Burin and cut down more than 150 olive trees using chainsaws.
Daghlas labeled the settlers’ attack as “criminal act” calling on human right groups to take action to stop Israeli settlers’ assaults against the Palestinians and their property."

This vicious and all too common crime has far more significance than most people know. Olive trees provide a source of income but they are symbols of how generations of Palestinians have been closely tied to the land that fanatical Israeli settlers covet. Olive trees take dozens of years of nurturing to begin harvest and can live for 500 years and more.

Jamboree Used by Military, Police to Indoctrinate Boy Scouts

"Instead of an old-fashioned Boy Scout event of camping and outdoor activities, the attendees were subjected to unrelenting military and police propaganda.
The Scout Master immediately noticed the presence of the Wisconsin Army National Guard and police at the event. The next day, he observed Humvees, troop vehicles, cargo vehicles, a patriot missile battery truck, and other military equipment at the event.

The police demonstrated “chase and takedown demonstrations” and showed off a new SWAT vehicle. “There were several military displays,” he writes. “The National Guard had a Baghdad combat simulator setup that people 16 and older could try. Three people at a time were allowed in, one person got to man a machine gun on a vehicle, another got an M16/AR15 [while] the other person got a 9mm pistol. You were simulating going through the streets of Baghdad trying to kill terrorists, militants etc. There were also civilians you were supposed to either avoid shooting or determine if they were a terrorist. There was an Army Blackhawk helicopter that showed up and circled the area and then landed for people to go look at and get into and talk to the Army pilots.”

“I have to tell you I was scared to death of what is getting ready to happen to scouting. I told my son who was with me at the show to listen for certain things and don’t buy into what was being said. I felt like I was in 1940’s Nazi Germany and was being prepared for indoctrination.”

Under pressure for nukes, Iran test-fires missiles

"The Islamic republic of Iran has successfully tested a multi-missile launching system in a military drill dubbed The Great Prophet IV in a bid to bolster its defense capabilities, Press TV has learned. The system which is capable of launching several home made Zelzal rockets simultaneously has successfully been tested for the first time, Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Air Force Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami told Press TV on Sunday. A number of missiles including home-made Fateh-110, a short-range ground-to-ground missile and Tondar-69, a short-range naval missile, were also launched consecutively at mock targets across the country. The Great Prophet IV maneuver, which is a sequel to The Great Prophet III carried out last year by the IRGC naval and ground forces in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz region, started on Sunday and is expected to continue for several days in two phases. The IRGC commander said the main objective of today's demonstration is to "evaluate the technical developments that Iran has achieved just recently in its surface-to-surface missiles," noting that long-range Shahab missile will be fired tomorrow. He also added that medium range Shahab-2 missiles will be tested tonight."

Netanyahu issues orders to quiet and subservient US politicians

"JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. to take action over a newly revealed Iranian nuclear facility in a phone conversation with American lawmakers, an official in his office said Saturday.
Netanyahu spoke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a number of unidentified U.S. senators and told them that now is the time to act on Iran. Israel maintains the Islamic republic is seeking nuclear weapons.
"If not now then when?" the official quoted Netanyahu as saying. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak with the media.
He did not disclose what kind of action Netanyahu recommend be taken."

Drones Gone Rogue

For the third time, that we know about, an american drone didn't exactly perform it's intended mission in the colonies, two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. All three were different types.
On September 14 a U.S. Air Force Predator crashed in central Iraq. Yesterday a Shadow drone slammed into an office building in Mosul:

"The unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicle crashed into the local office of the Iraqi Islamic Party in Mosul, an area the U.S. military has called the last stronghold of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Drones have been a mainstay of the U.S. war effort, offering round-the-clock airborne "eyes" watching over road convoys and tracking insurgent movements and occasionally unleashing missiles on a target.
The U.S. military identified the crashed drone as a Shadow model, which is routinely used in areas like Mosul to track insurgents planting explosives and does not carry weapons.
There was no immediate indication the drone was shot down and the cause of the crash was under investigation, said Maj. Derrick Cheng, a U.S. military spokesman. There were no reports of injuries.
Cheng said the drone struck the party office at about 7 a.m., damaging the roof of the building."

On September 13 a Reaper in Afghanistan developed a mind of it's own:

"Apparently the pilots of an unmanned, but armed, MQ-9 Reaper drone lost control of the UAV a few days ago. The resulting manned mission to take it down was mounted almost immediately and ended successfully before the drone reached the edges of Afghanistan's airspace."

Apparently troubles with these aircraft are fairly common so the news reports claim. To me that 's either a cover story to smooth over public relations as drones are rushed into service or the natives are getting good at scrambling communications.
In any case the US military ♥ it's unmanned flying toys, three months ago it started training more operators to fly them than training fighter or bomber pilots.

Germany Ripe For False Flag Attack

Terror threats prompt flight ban over Oktoberfest

"BERLIN – German authorities banned all flights over Munich's annual Oktoberfest beer festival on Saturday after a series of Islamic terror threats targeted Germany for its role in Afghanistan."
""Given the current security situation, we view a flight ban as necessary," the top security official in the state of Bavaria, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, said Saturday.
Oktoberfest has been targeted in the past — Saturday's festival opened with a minute of silence to honor the victims of a bomb attack that killed 13 people and injured 200 others on Sept. 26, 1980."

Exactly seven years ago virtually no one in Australia except for the Howard regime wanted to get on board the Bush mob's bus to invade and occupy Iraq. Something had to be done to quiet the protests and enable the pro zionist government to throw it's lot in with the Bush mob the following year.
On October 12 several powerful bombs were set off in Bali killing about 180 people. Bali was and is a hotspot of partying tourists and curiously Australians were targeted that night although plenty of americans were just down the strip. The bombing is too complicated to get into right now, but suffice to say it did the trick to allow Howard to scream terror and back Bush and his warmongers with their invasion the following March, despite ongoing protests.

Flash forward to today. After Germany's involvement in that tanker massacre on September 3 where about a hundred Afghanis were burned alive, Germans are having big second thoughts about being in Afghanistan. The country has over 4000 troops there, and pulling out would be bad mojo for the occupiers. Nothing would help keep them there fighting "terrorism" better than a convenient false flag bomb or two, especially since the parlimentary election is tomorrow and the Germans are smack dab in the middle of Oktoberfest, with millions of tourists in country.

Real Purpose Of The 'Swine Flu' Scam?

'Immuno-Sterilization' In Humans

"The elite's agenda of mass depopulation is no longer covert. It is no longer the realm of "National Secret Memorandums" (see NSSM-200 authored by Henry Kissinger and Zbignew Brezinsky back in 1974) It is today public knowledge. It is indeed their top "agenda" item for immediate implementation this year - 2009.

I would submit that these billionaires are men and women of action. When they come to a joint consensus, a detailed plan is quickly and decisively put into action ­ especially if they perceive that their "plan" is literally going to "save the planet". There should be little doubt that they would have a brilliant plan of action that they are most definitely implementing as you are reading this. These individuals did not get to be billionaires by being stupid, or by merely discussing ideas and concepts over dinner. They, of course, would also know how to keep their depopulation activities camouflaged and hidden from public scrutiny. After all, they reason that only THEY know what is best for the planet.

Let's look at the elite's depopulation plan from a standpoint of logic and common sense. Of course they realize that only a very small fraction of the world's population (especially in the Western 1st World nations) would eagerly and willingly step forward and volunteer that their lineage and bloodlines would be severed by means of a permanent sterilization "vaccination". It is obvious, therefore, that such a "sterilization vaccine" would need to be disguised as something else, a truly global false-flag program fueled by their controlled media propaganda and fear-mongering. I would submit that a worldwide faux "influenza pandemic" would be an absolutely perfect cover.

Prior to the year 1998, the available depopulation tools that could be utilized by such "global elitists" were fairly limited; diseases, famine, wars and even natural disasters could each be developed and actually implemented by a designed plan. These depopulation tools are rather messy, however, and often hard to completely control. However, thanks to the work of Dr. Richard A. Fayrer ­Hosken at the University of Georgia, a new and completely effective depopulation tool is now available ­ indeed, a simple little VACCINE SHOT can today cause permanent sterility. (See Addendum 3 attached for the international patent of this "immunosterilization vaccine".)

Fayrer-Hosken's invention has been successfully tested and found to be effective on all mammals, including the African elephant, although the potential long-term side effects are still being compiled. What exactly is the active ingredients of this sterilization vaccine? Primarily the sterilization vaccine contains antigens from PORCINE (pig) glyco-proteins (viruses are a form of glyco-proteins) bonded with a powerful oil-in-water "adjuvant" called squalene. (See addendum 3).

Is it just a coincidence that Novartis' master patent for the "swine flu" vaccine utilizes swine (porcine) glycol-proteins bonded with a powerful oil-in-water "adjuvant" called squalene?

Is it just a coincidence that Novartis' "swine flu" vaccine product information circular, section 8.1, includes this warning paragraph: "Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this ---[vaccine]. It is also not known whether the vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman, OR CAN AFFECT REPRODUCTION CAPACITY." (Emphasis added.)

It would also seem highly logical that a sterilization vaccine disguised as a pandemic influenza vaccine would require a complete blanket shield against liability lawsuits and litigation as well ­ for such claims would undoubtedly number in the hundreds of millions. (Oops, sorry the vaccine made you sterile Mrs. Jones ­ we had absolutely no idea, you see!) Of course, such blanket immunity from lawsuits is exactly what has been given to the "swine flu" vaccine manufacturers and promoters by our corrupt federal government."

How Much Repression Will Hillary Clinton Support In Honduras?

Quite a bit, actually. The US is happy a thug they can work with was installed, aside from whatever lies emanate from Clinton's piehole.

"Now that President Zelaya has returned to Honduras, the coup government – after first denying that he was there – has unleashed a wave of repression to prevent people from gathering support for their elected president. This is how U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the first phase of this new repression last night in a press conference:
“I think that the government imposed a curfew, we just learned, to try to get people off the streets so that there couldn't be unforeseen developments.”
But the developments that this dictatorship is trying to repress are very much foreseen. A completely peaceful crowd of thousands surrounded the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, where Zelaya has taken refuge, to greet their president. The military then used the curfew as an excuse to tear-gas, beat, and arrest the crowd until there was nothing left. There are reports of scores wounded and three dead. The dictatorship has cut off electricity and water to the embassy, and cut electricity to what little is left of the independent media, as well as some neighborhoods. This is how the dictatorship has been operating. It has a very brutal but simple strategy.
The strategy goes like this: they control the national media, which has been deployed to convince about 30-40 percent of the population that their elected President is an agent of a foreign government and seeks to turn the country into a socialist prison. However, that still leaves the majority who have managed to find access to other information.
The strategy for dealing with them has been to try to render them powerless: through thousands of arrests, beatings, and even some selective killings. This has been documented, reported, and denounced by major human rights organizations throughout the world: Amnesty International, the Center for Justice and International Law, Human Rights Watch, the Inter American Commission on Human Rights and others.
One important actor, the only major country to maintain an ambassador in Honduras throughout the dictatorship, has maintained a deafening silence about this repression: that is the United States government. The Obama administration has not uttered one word about the massive human rights violations in Honduras. This silence by itself tells you all that you need to know about what this administration has really been trying to accomplish in the 87 days since the Honduran military squelched democracy."

In Vitro Meat

Cooker that 'grows' meat in your kitchen

"A controversial cooker that 'grows' meat and fish by heating animal cells in your kitchen claimed first prize in the Electrolux design competition tonight.
The invention, called Cocoon, could develop food with the make-up and nutrients of real meat.
Mr Hederstierna, 27, said: 'This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination. It will change everything.'

A food generator is a popular concept in science fiction programmes such as Star Trek.
Swedish industrial design student Rickard Hederstierna, 27, said it could tackle food shortages as the world's population spirals.
And the glass cooker, which would heat pre-mixed food packets containing muscle cells, oxygen and nutrients, would put an end to messy and time-consuming preparation.
Competition panelist David Fisher, design director of consultantsSeymourpowell, described the invention as 'controversial'"

I'd agree wholeheartedly with that assessment.

The idea of growing conveyor belt meat is being sold as a viable source of protein when food shortages get acute, which hasn't exactly happened yet, but mismanagement and the frankenfood industry are working on that. Proponents are claiming the process is identical to cultured foods we grow and already consume like cheese and beer. They also cite the inhumanity of current factory slaughterhouses. They're big on the food safety issue, where lab meat won't make you sick from contamination. Valid points all, really.

But consider the process involved to actually grow meat, as envisioned by VegNews:

"At a massive factory in a major American megalopolis, technicians encased in hermetically sealed biosuits peer through their glass facemasks at what looks like a gigantic inkjet printer, ten meters wide. They monitor the bioprinter's functions as the elongated rotating head moves back and forth with a staccato ring across a flat plastic sheet, evenly distributing muscle and fat cells through thousands of tiny nozzle openings.

After attaching the 200-square-foot sheet, slick with living cell nodes, to a tubular metal framework, workers load it onto the bed of a customized electric truck and transport it to an enormous humming bioreactor in another section of the factory. They glance at their reflections in the tank's stainless steel hull as the foreman enters the security code into an embedded keypad. A set of garage-sized hydraulic doors slides open at the top, exhaling pressurized air and the pungent fumes of fermented fungi. The cellular sheet is submersed into the bioreactor's vat of warm nutrient soup, where the cells germinate in vitro for several weeks and grow firmer as long-armed mechanical stretchers "exercise" them into muscle. Workers at nearby bioreactors remove meatsheets that have matured, stacking them one on top of another to construct a thick slab of flesh. Finally, the room-sized hunk of muscle is fed into a large processor that minces and reshapes it into nuggets, patties and sausage links, which are packaged and shipped out to supermarkets and restaurants throughout the region and the world."

And that's the crux of the matter. It's too sterile, one step too far from nature. This process is going to be pushed by the very forces that are destroying our natural connection to our physical environment, in order to replace it with their artificial creation, for a fee of course. Lab meat will be forced down our gullets by the same mindset that's demanding the planet use suicide seeds with terminator genes, that forces farmers to return year after year to buy new seeds instead of saving them from previous crops. It's a way for the corporations to insinuate themselves yet again between us and self determination to force us to pay for what we could be doing for ourselves. I'm way too 'hands on' in my life to embrace this artificiality.

Maybe Big Fast Food was getting us prepped for all this. Replace the shredded, reformed and deep fried animal parts with factory goo and the mouthbreather who orders his McNuggets won't even know the difference.

About 40 grams of payload

"The department uses a yellow Kevlar sack resembling a sock. It''s rounded, unlike other types that have flat edges and can penetrate a person. Those have been known to be fatal.
The bags are fired at 280 feet per second, packing a punch comparable to being hit by a major league pitcher''s fastball, Myers said.
He demonstrated the power of the bag on the cinderblock wall of the department firing range office.
From five yards away, closer than the gun would be used in an actual situation, Myers hit the same spot on the wall three times. The third shot punched a hole the size of a half-dollar through the cinderblock.
"Now you know why it''s called ''less lethal'' and not ''non-lethal,''" Verhaar said."

Yet Another FBI Instigated "Terror" Plot

Man arrested after plotting to bomb Dallas skyscraper

"DALLAS (AP) -- A 19-year-old Jordanian man living in Texas was arrested Thursday on charges he intended to bomb a downtown Dallas skyscraper, federal officials said.
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi was arrested after placing what he believed to be a car bomb in the garage of the 60-story Fountain Place office tower Thursday, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas. The decoy device was given to him by an undercover FBI agent, the statement said."
"Three undercover agents who are native Arabic speakers eventually communicated and met with Smadi over several months, posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell, according to the court documents. They allege he discussed targeting military recruiting centers, credit card companies, the airport or an armory before settling on a building containing a bank branch."
"Agents provided Smadi with what he believed was a car bomb but was actually an inert device, according to Petrowski's affidavit."

Funny, isn't it, how all of these so called terror plots are conceived by spooks, egged on by spooks, financed by spooks, and the spooks help to carry out some asinine plan with kids or mentally challenged fools.
Funny how the "perps" are never charged with anything more than conspiracy.
Funny how the MSM touts these entrapments as triumphs.

Don't Take Any Flu Vaccine

Either they don't know what they're talking about or there really is a sinister population reduction program in effect. There was all that chatter during summer about the importance of getting the swine flu jab, even though the vaccine was patented before the flu outbreak had even happened. (August 28, 2008) Then we were told three shots were necessary to "protect" us this season.

The syringe contents that get squirted into your body now can't be combined with other vaccines, as if they found out that whatever it is they want to inject into us loses efficaciousness in the process.

This really does seem sinister beyond comprehension.

Seasonal flu shot may increase H1N1 risk

"Preliminary research suggests the seasonal flu shot may put people at greater risk for getting swine flu, CBC News has learned.

Across Canada, public health authorities are debating the idea of shortening, delaying or scrapping their seasonal flu vaccination campaign in favour of mass inoculation against H1N1.
The main reason is that H1N1 may be the dominant strain of influenza circulating when the fall flu season hits, meaning it could be a waste of time and resources to mount a seasonal flu vaccine campaign.
Health authorities in Quebec are considering cancelling or postponing seasonal flu shots for some groups, such as healthy, younger adults.

"It makes the decision-making a lot more complex," Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.'s provincial health officer, said in Victoria. "It would be very nice to have information cut and dried, and very clear in advance in plenty of time to make the decisions. But that isn't unfortunately the world that we're living in."

In other words, they don't know what the fuck they're doing or they're not sure if the squalene, formaldehyde and heavy metal concoction they want to pump into your body for their lab manufactured swine flu will do to you want they want done to you if there's other stuff there too.

The Price Of Weed

STATES
Prices vary depending on consumer proximity to the Mexican Border, with the exception of California where weed is pretty steep. This means that southern states enjoy lower prices than the northeast and the midwest. This is what they call Southern Comfort...
The cheapest state in almost all categories is definitely, and unsurprisingly, Texas. Prices for an ounce of Schwag (Mexican dirt weed) go as low as $40, an ounce of skunk - $65, and an ounce of hydro could be around $100 - compared to $300-400 in many other states.
New Mexico is also very cheap ($60 1oz schwag).
Some of the more expensive states are Illinois, Indiana, Massachussetts and New Hampshire.
In New York City, Many types of weed are available, particularly highs such as hydros, skunks, diesels and also hashes. Price depends on the quality and usually well worth the investment.

Did you know?
According to the DEA, Americans smoke 5,000,000 pounds of weed every year.

Libyan leader's 'gun girls': Moammar Khadafy travels with pistol-packin' posse of women bodyguards

"WASHINGTON -- Libya's "Brotherly Leader" Moammar Khadafy will be invading midtown Manhattan this week surrounded by a gang of fetching "gun girls."
The dictator's pistol-packin' posse of 40 to 50 women bodyguards -- sometimes called his "Amazon Guard" -- will be part of his massive 150-member traveling traveling entourage for the UN General Assembly session, U.S. officials said.
Along with live weapons, the guards will bring their bad-girl reputation.
In 2003, the women -- smartly outfitted in form-fitting desert camouflage uniforms and blue berets -- caused a pushing-and-shoving ruckus when Khadafy got in a shouting match with Saudi Arabians at an Arab summit."

"The all-woman Libyan force made its debut in the 1990s as part of the what Khadafy called a campaign to raise the status of women in the Arab world."

Backwoods Kentuckians Never Did Cotton To Them Revenooers

AP source: Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body

"WASHINGTON – A U.S. Census worker found hanging from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word on the chest of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and teacher. He was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky.
The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the death was a slaying or a suicide, and if a slaying, whether the motive was related to his government job or to anti-government sentiment. An autopsy report is pending.
Investigators have said little about the case. FBI spokesman David Beyer said the bureau is assisting state police.
"Our job is to determine if there was foul play involved — and that's part of the investigation — and if there was foul play involved, whether that is related to his employment as a census worker," said Beyer.
Beyer declined to confirm or discuss any details about the crime scene."

Caribou Wants You To Think She Has A Political Future

Barbie bloviates abroad, US delegates walk out in disgust.

"HONG KONG (AFP) – Former US vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin said the US government was wasting taxpayers' money and could aggravate poverty, said delegates at her first speech outside North America on Wednesday.
Palin, the former governor of Alaska, gave hundreds of financial big-hitters at the CLSA Investors' Forum in Hong Kong a wide-ranging speech that covered Alaska, international terrorism, US economic policy and trade with China.
Her performance, which was closed to the media, divided opinion.
Some of those who attended praised her forthright views on government social and economic intervention and others walked out early in disgust.
"She was brilliant," said a European delegate, on condition of anonymity.
"She said America was spending a lot of money and it was a temporary solution. Normal people are having to pay more and more but things don't get better. The rich will leave the country and the poor will get poorer."
Two US delegates left early, with one saying "it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer". He declined to be identified."

If You Don't Want Another Rice, Leave, Afghanistan Says

If you want another 9/11, leave Afghanistan, Rice says

"Former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice has said that the United States could experience another terrorist attack like 9/11 if troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan.
"If you want another terrorist attack in the US, abandon Afghanistan," she said in an interview with Fortune magazine on Tuesday.
"The last time we left Afghanistan, and we abandoned Pakistan, that territory became the very territory on which al-Qaeda trained and attacked us on September 11th.
"So our national security interests are very much tied up in not letting Afghanistan fail again and become a safe haven for terrorists," Rice added."

More incomprehensible garbage from the blood soaked Bush mobster, trying to prop up the failed propaganda mythology of 9/11.

Movies

I check Hulu on occasion to see what flicks they recently added and came across a John Wayne western called McLintock!. I thought I had seen all of the Duke's later efforts including this one, but decided to check it out for the hell of it.

No, I hadn't experienced this particular motion picture, perhaps due to some positive karma accrued in a previous life, so why I felt the need to sit through it now is a mystery. I suppose one shoudn't be overly critical of a 1963 effort these days. After all it was a different time and place and things were done, well, differently, so one could watch a movie dispassionately, the way you sort of glance at roadkill by the side of the road that some other guy rolled over as you drive on by.

Wayne's movies from that period aren't all bad although he floundered pretty much at the end of his career. Rio Bravo is actually pretty enjoyable. His last with Lauren Bacall, The Shootist, is some of his best work.

McLintock is pretty much standard fare, a sort of uncomplicated comedic farce with the Duke running things and trying to sort out the surrounding mayhem. Maureen O'Hara as his wife reprises her fiery redhead role. (She and he made five films together, all as a married couple) There are Indians, trains, troopers, fistfights and various wince inducing attempts at humor.

What sets this apart from most Waynsters is it's background. His film production company, Batjac, was apparently still reeling on it's heels from Wayne's pet project, The Alamo, which tanked at the box office a couple of years earlier. McLintock was hurriedly cobbled together with a lot of John Ford regulars and made solely as a crowd pleaser to recapture some dough. A lot of Wayne's family was involved with son Patrick co starring, son Michael producing and a young daughter in a small role. It turned out to be extremely popular with film goers, but it's the attempts at early 60s farce that make your twenty first century jaw drop.

Wayne used the vehicle to make some manly, pseudo conservative rants while having obvious liberal caricatures take pratfalls. Then we have little kids climbing 50 feet up on the roof of a house, great fun with a guy shot in the stomach with a starter pistol, an indian chief running around constantly yelling "Where's the whisky?". It's all in there, but the degrading treatment of Maureen O'Hara at the end has to be seen to be believed. The Duke stalks her all around town, through glass windows, out of haylofts, into horse troughs and finally beats her wet ass, in her underwear, in front of the entire gleefull population of the town. The upshot being that her irksome behavior changes, her independent spirit is broken and she promises to be the obedient little wifey we all knew a good, humiliating ass whipping could help emerge. It's hard to understand how an actress could willingly take that role on, but again, this was made almost fifty years ago in a galaxy far, far away. Go ahead and try to sit through it. I dare you.

In Rio Grande, another vehicle for these two, people who knew how the picture was made have debunked an apparent UFO that appears behind the Duke's head in this scene. The outside takes were filmed near Moab, Utah, but this was a studio with a painted backdrop and the light was reflection from an arc lamp.

Expect The Pandemic To Now Really Take Wing

China begins mass vaccinations for swine flu

"BEIJING — China kicked off mass vaccinations for swine flu Monday in Beijing, making it apparently the first nation in the world to start innoculating its population against the virus.
The Asian giant has been at the forefront of international efforts to produce an A(H1N1) influenza vaccine, with at least five companies receiving government approval for the work. Officials however have warned demand will exceed supply.
The capital's municipal health bureau announced Monday in a statement on its website that Beijing "took the lead in China in starting A(H1N1) flu vaccinations".
Authorities kicked off the programme by immunising students due to take part in next week's National Day celebrations, the statement said. Around 100,000 students are due to attend, according to recent state media reports.
"We believe that China is the first country in the world to start mass vaccinations for A(H1N1) flu," Vivian Tan, spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation in China, told AFP."

"I Realized That I Was The Terrorist"

ABC News Goes All Out In Petty, Sarcastic Report

I guess some people take their cues from Israel's behavior.
We've become a nation snotty, immature louts. Not that I've listened much but I have no doubt the sensation seeking rethug bloviators have been railing against Gadaffi and Ahmadinejad for days to work their mouthbreathing audiences up. They're always on the lookout for something to justify their drooling, righteous outrage. These two are the recipients of a constant smear campaign from paid media whores and this snooty screed is more of the same.

New Yorkers Snub Ahmadinejad, Gaddafi on Visit to U.N. - Welcome Mat Nowhere in Sight for Controversial Leaders of Iran and Libya

So right in the byline we're told they're "controversial". Why? Because the media tells us so. This is Ahmadinejad:

"In 2007, he was considered a pariah who denied the Holocaust, called for the destruction of Israel and pursued an internationally condemned nuclear weapons program."

1. The lie of him calling for "wiping Israel off the map" never dies. It was a deliberately false translation that gets repeated every chance they can to drill it into Boobus. 2. Denying the holocaust doesn't mean he believes it didn't happen. Ahmadinejad has consistently called for scholarship and scrutiny, something liars seem not to care for. 3. There is no "nuclear weapons program" in Iran. As a NNPT signee Iran has every right to develop a nuclear energy program, but the MSM twists the wording into The Bomb at every opportunity. Just a repeat of the filth shoved at american mouthbreathers before the slaughter in Iraq in 2003.

This is part of the decidedly childish and ungracious campaign the last time Ahmadinejad came to the UN two years ago:



With Gadaffi the so called reportage drips with schoolyard condescension;

(The tent is a thing with the Libyan strongman. In June, he camped out for three days in a park in Rome during an official visit.)

"It is my prayer that the State Department will issue a restrictive visa so he won't, under the cover of night, sneak into my town," Wildes said.

Again the incessant propaganda campaign villifying these two will eventually work it's magic with Foxified dullards who can't figure things out for themselves and need to be given instructions what to think. Libya was framed for Lockerbie. The damning evidence is out there, plenty of it, but again the lies never end.
These two men should be welcomed in a rational and responsible manner but that doesn't fit into our overlords' demonization agenda. To the propagandists, showing up in NY to speak at the UN is a threat because people might actually listen to what they say instead of what the liars want us to believe. After all these guys represent countries that are on the ziofascist hitlist, meaning countries Israel wants to destroy, and so americans have to be tought who to hate.

And as for Obama, You would think that given the gravity of the situation with Iran's nuclear energy program, a development so dire we get daily helpings of fear mongering about Iran's nooks, he'd want to take the opportunity to be a statesman during Ahmadinejad's visit. Not to be, of course. It would send the wrong message to Boobus. Our president has his marching orders.

"At a recent press conference, Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said Obama had no plans to interact with either of the men."

added - To great Pomp and Circumstance, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has arrived in New York to attend the 64th session of the UN General Assembly.

Problem with Pirates? Remote Control Speedboat with Machine Gun Turret to the Rescue

"In recent years, maritime shipping companies, private security firms and navies around the globe have pondered the problem of high-seas piracy off Africa’s east coast, where more than 150 merchant ships have been attacked by small craft in 2009 alone. What to do? How to thwart a menace that can resemble a fishing boat? And across an area so vast?
It was inevitable that weapons manufacturers and dealers would weigh in. Now one has. Imagine an aquatic drone, an unmanned boat that could patrol the waters off eastern Africa and allow threats to be assessed and engaged by remote control.
This is an idea proposed by Timothy P. Sheridan, an American arms dealer who has been providing equipment to the Pentagon for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. (Sheridan, among other things, has arranged the shipment of tens of thousands of small arms for distribution to Iraqi security forces.)
His latest venture is called Maritime Defense Systems International, LLC., which offers an automated counterpiracy system, as he calls it, that could be outfitted to a vessel and set loose on patrol. The system contains a forward-looking infrared radar for surveillance and target detection, an automated machine gun on a rotating mount and a satellite video uplink that would let a remote operator run the craft from on shore or a work station on a distant ship.
Think, Roboboat. Now think Roboboat run by a trained naval officer, much as Air Force pilots fly Predator and Reaper drones."

Japanese couples rely on fake friends


"Several agencies have sprung up offering actors to attend weddings or even funerals. The first guest-for-hire company was established about nine years ago and around 10 now send out dozens of pretend friends to family events.
Agencies such as Hagemashi Tai - which means "I want to cheer you up" - charge around £100 for each "guest". Other services such as giving a speech in praise of a bride or the groom cost extra.

The emergence of the small fake friends industry has been linked to social and economic changes in Japan. With lifetime employment a thing of the past, couples feel uncomfortable about inviting work colleagues to their wedding. Increasingly busy and put upon, many Japanese surround themselves with only a very small circle of friends.
When they marry, however, they are under pressure to match the number of their new partner's wedding guests.
Office Agents, the largest provider of pretend friends, makes sure that its employees have done their homework and know all about the bride or groom before the wedding.
Hiroshi Mizutani, the company's founder, said the fake friends he provides must look happy, be well dressed and look like people with good jobs."

Pittsburgh Prepares For War

"The police are not here to create disorder. The police are here to preserve disorder." Mayor Richard Daley, Chicago 1968

It seems the goons want the city shut down so anybody on the streets can be treated as the enemy.

G-20 security driving away Pittsburgh's bustle

"Security plans, including a vehicle-free, three-block perimeter around the convention center and a ban on most vehicles elsewhere in the city' dense, triangular downtown, mean protesters and foreign dignitaries will likely experience an emptier-than-normal Pittsburgh when the two-day summit begins Thursday. Commuters must park outside downtown and either walk or take mass transit into the business district.
What's unclear is how many people will even come downtown. Many businesses are closing or — like Highmark, the health insurance giant that normally has 5,000 employees downtown — having most employees telecommute or work at other offices."
"In addition to many businesses, the city's public and Catholic schools will be closed along with most city, state and federal offices, cultural centers like the Carnegie museums, many bank branches, and most colleges and universities in the area.
Amtrak trains will pass through Pittsburgh, but passengers can only transfer to other trains; they won't be allowed to board or disembark here. Greyhound, the bus company, is temporarily moving its city operations to McKeesport, about 10 miles away."

Tyrannical military presence

"The draconian security measures put in place to silence dissent in Pittsburgh are disproportionate to any actual security concern. They are a response not to a real threat, but to the fear gripping the established centers of power. The power elite grasps, even if we do not, the massive fraud and theft being undertaken to save a criminal class on Wall Street and international speculators of the kinds who were executed in other periods of human history. They know the awful cost this plundering of state treasuries will impose on workers, who will become a permanent underclass. And they also know that once this is clear to the rest of us, rebellion will no longer be a foreign concept.

The delegates to the G-20, the gathering of the world’s wealthiest nations, will consequently be protected by a National Guard combat battalion, recently returned from Iraq. The battalion will shut down the area around the city center, man checkpoints and patrol the streets in combat gear. Pittsburgh has augmented the city’s police force of 1,000 with an additional 3,000 officers. Helicopters have begun to buzz gatherings in city parks, buses driven to Pittsburgh to provide food to protesters have been impounded, activists have been detained, and permits to camp in the city parks have been denied. Web sites belonging to resistance groups have been hacked and trashed, and many groups suspect that they have been infiltrated and that their phones and e-mail accounts are being monitored."
