Pay attention to this illuminati figure...they have to pass the torch.
The explosive rise of the U.S. budget deficit and debt burden will lead to serious inflation down the road, says billionaire and Obama supporter Warren Buffett. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that government debt will peak around 54 percent of GDP in 2011. But Buffett told CNBC Monday morning that the ratio could surpass 80 percent — unless there are significant spending cuts or tax increases. After a testy exchange with Sen. Judd Gregg, who suggested that President Obama’s plans to hike federal spending would only increase the nation’s staggering national debt, Buffett relented by stating that, in the end, the U.S. government simply will do what every other government has done in such circumstances. “A country that continuously expands its debt as a percentage of GDP and raises much of the money abroad to finance that, at some point, it’s going to inflate its way out of the burden of that debt,” Buffett said. Experience proves that, he points out. “Every country that has denominated its debt in its own currency and has found itself with uncomfortable amounts of debt relative to the rest of the world, in the end they inflate,” Buffett explains. “That becomes a tax on everybody that has fixed dollar investments.”

Of course, it’s likely that these trends also will mean a serious swoon for the U.S. dollar. Buffett also suggested that dollar denominated investments like T-bills won’t be a wise investment, in the long run. Elsewhere in the economy, Buffett sees unemployment rising further. “Who knows where it tops out,” he says. But, “it will top out eventually.” Buffett remains bullish long-term for the economy. “We have a wonderful economy over time,” he says. We do come out of recessions, Buffett says. “The biggest thing that brings us out of them is the fact that we have a system that works very well over time, even though it gets gummed up periodically.” Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has $20 billion in cash and is "perfectly willing to make a deal that's compelling," he told reporters at the end of the company’s annual meeting Sunday. The Oracle of Omaha doesn’t have anything specific in mind, and neither he nor Berkshire’s Vice Chairman Charlie Munger would reveal which sectors of the economy or regions of the country interest them most. Berkshire is holding its annual meeting over the next few days, an event to which thousands travel just to hear Buffett and Munger hold forth on the economy and Berkshire’s prospects. Buffett did say that, of the three banks whose stock he already holds — Wells Fargo, US Bancorp and M&T Bank — that Berkshire "would buy stock in any of the three banks at present prices." Last year, Buffett invested in troubled blue chips Goldman Sachs and General Electric. Buffett and Munger say the company isn't currently planning to issue new shares or bonds to pay for a big acquisition. They defended the company’s performance, despite a 31 percent slump in share price from a year ago. Munger says it’s foolish to judge the firm’s fate by short-term movements in its share price. "If you think we're in trouble because the stock price went down, you don't understand what's going on," Munger says.

Munger says Berkshire is following "Andrew Carnegie's playbook." The steel mogul made himself famous by snapping up market share from struggling competitors during recessions. Many experts view Berkshire’s purchases of shares in Goldman Sachs and GE in the same terms.
CIA's Kryptos -Does it Hold The Key to the Sequel to "The Da Vinci Code"?
One of the few uncracked codes at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia is found in Kryptos, a wonder of technology, a sculpture sitting in a sunny corner of the headquarters courtyard. "EMUFPHZLRFAXYUSDJKZLDKRNSHGNFIVJ" is the first line of the Kryptos sculpture, a 10-foot-tall, S-shaped copper scroll perforated with 3-inch-high letters spelling out words in code resembling a piece of paper emerging from a computer printer. Completed 15 years ago, Kryptos, which is Greek for "hidden," at first attracted interest from government code breakers who deciphered the easier parts without announcing their findings publicly. The main sculpture is made of red granite, red and green slate, white quartz, petrified wood, lodestone and copper, and is located in the northwest corner of the headquarters courtyard.
When Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon discovers that a shadowy brotherhood called the Illuminati has targeted the Vatican, he must follow a trail of ancient symbols comprising four landmarks with hidden markers that represent the four Altars of Science: — earth, air, fire, and water — to stop the destruction.
Mission Impossible: The Code Even the CIA Can't Crack
The most celebrated inscription at the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, used to be the biblical phrase chiseled into marble in the main lobby: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." But in recent years, another text has been the subject of intense scrutiny inside the Company and out: 865 characters of seeming gibberish, punched out of half-inch-thick copper in a courtyard. It's part of a sculpture called Kryptos, created by DC artist James Sanborn. He got the commission in 1988, when the CIA was constructing a new building behind its original headquarters. The agency wanted an outdoor installation for the area between the two buildings, so a solicitation went out for a piece of public art that the general public would never see. Sanborn named his proposal after the Greek word for hidden. The work is a meditation on the nature of secrecy and the elusiveness of truth, its message written entirely in code. Almost 20 years after its dedication, the text has yet to be fully deciphered...
Egyptian Pharoah's 'Missing' Pyramid Found
June 5, 2008 -- Egyptian archaeologists have uncovered the "missing pyramid" of a pharaoh and a ceremonial procession road where high priests carried mummified remains of sacred bulls, Egypt's antiquities chief said Thursday.
Zahi Hawass said the pyramid -- of which only the base remains -- is believed to be that of King Menkauhor, an obscure pharaoh who ruled for only eight years more than 4,000 years ago.
The Chinese White Pyramid has been found
26th April, 2009
The Russian pyramid investigator MaximYakovenko has visited several Chinese pyramid complexes and has finally been able to identify the legendary “White Pyramid” as the Liangshan Mountain, which holds the tomb of Emperor Gaozong. As such, decades of speculation and mystery have finally been answered.

THE BIBLE AND THE ZODIAC
http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/world/christ/xt-preb2.htm
By Donna L. Preble What is the zodiac? According to the dictionary, it is "an imaginary belt encircling the heavens, extending about eight degrees to either side of the ecliptic, and containing twelve constellations." Actually it is a mathematically arranged map of the sun's influence, including that of the planets, upon the earth and its inhabitants. Before the birth of Judaism and its stepchild Christianity, the peoples of the world were sun worshippers.
Not without reason the Persians and Chaldeans were called stargazers, for they knew the sun was Lord of the World and they looked upon the stars as living beings. Their knowledge of astronomy was astonishing, and their knowledge of astrology, which related humanity to the universe, was far-reaching and profound. Nearly every world religion shows the influence of astrology in both its spiritual and physical aspects.
Who were the authors of the Bible, this fine old book, known as The Book of God, or God's Word?
We know from the text of the Old Testament that it had more than one author and that its parts were written at different times and put together later.
That, after the first copy of the Book of God has been edited and launched on the world by Hilkiah, this copy disappears, and Ezra has to make a new Bible, which Judas Maccabeus finishes; that when it was copied from the horned letters into square letters, it was corrupted beyond recognition; . . . finally, we have a text . . . abounding with omissions, interpolations, and premeditated perversions.
The wisdom-religion was expressed, whether by Hindu, Chaldean, or Jew, in the same way -- through figures of speech, in myths, parables, or allegories. There are references to this in the New Testament, where Paul tells the Corinthians that the story of Moses is figurative -- ". . . the veil over his face . . . is untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament" -- and again where Paul tells the Galatians that the story of Abraham and his two wives is an allegory. Paul explains that this is the way it is told to those who do not know.
Whoever they were, the authors of the Old Testament were obviously scholars, presumably high priests, men well aware of the traditions and legends of other peoples all around them for distances of hundreds of miles. It is evident that they drew upon these traditions and legends in writing their scriptures, which were to set forth the alleged history and genealogy of the Jewish people.
It can be said that there is no actual history in the Old Testament, that the people in its pages are not real personages, but that most are symbolic of some phase of the zodiac -- the sun, the twelve signs, or a natural law. Abraham, for instance, was not a Jew, though portrayed as the Father of the Jewish people. He was borrowed from the Chaldeans, inspired by the mighty prince Zeru-an, who was rich in gold and silver, as written in Chaldean annals, and who bears a resemblance to Saturn.
Neither Solomon nor David is historical. David is pure myth, as are the prophets. David was conceived to be the founder of the Jewish dynasty, which through Solomon, his son and successor, acquired identification with the solar deity, giving it preeminence over all mankind. It is possible that the patriarchs were real figures, but even this remains uncertain. Yet let it not be supposed that there is no truth in the Old Testament. The allegories it contains are as truthful and profound in meaning as they are numerous. Also, the Scribes made their allegorical figures into vivid personalities speaking ideas, as often a delight to ponder on as they are edifying.
Although most of the Old Testament has been accepted by fundamentalists as the gospel truth, even they have confessed to doubts about Jonah and the whale. For a man to be swallowed live by a whale and survive to tell the tale was either a Biblical miracle or a bit of fisherman's braggadocio.
The story of the birth of Moses was transposed from the legend of the Chaldean king, Sargon, one thousand years earlier. At Sargon's birth, his mother the queen placed him in a bitumen-lined basket and laid it among the river bulrushes where a water-carrier found him and took him home and brought him up. In his role as the Jewish lawmaker, Moses was endowed with the dignity and celestial powers of an Egyptian high priest, or hierophants as Thoth, or the Greek Hermes, embodying the mystical wisdom with the astrological and alchemical doctrines and formulae. It is nowhere recorded that anyone ever really saw Moses, yet he was so real to even his creators that his Laws were inexorably upheld, and his teachings unquestioned. All the sacred symbols and knowledge of the Kabbalah, as known to the Jewish high priests, were incorporated into the wisdom of Moses.
His tabernacle in the wilderness was built as a square representing the four cardinal points, as well as the four elements: earth, fire, air, and water. The idea originally was Egyptian, and the genii, or angels, of the elements were said to abide at the points. The lamp ordered "by the Lord" to burn on the tabernacle was an inexhaustible flame, representing the eternal light and life of the sun.
In writing their scriptures and presenting Moses as lawmaker, with Jehovah as the One-True-God, the Jews did not overlook the place the sun held among surrounding peoples. They honored the sun in the allegory of Solomon. To the Jews, Solomon was King of Israel and his temple was built on Mount Moriah, the highest point in Israel, but actually the allegory shows Solomon as Lord of the Universe. He sits on his golden throne in the center of his temple, which is the universe. He is attended by his craftsmen, the lords of the signs of the zodiac, and is instrumental in their activities. Attending him is Hiram, his agent of construction on earth -- architect, master-builder, and beautifier, faithful administrator of the sun on earth. And the building of the temple is finished without hands or the sound of hammer or axe -- the hammer of contention, the axe of division.
Our physical bodies are composed of millions of cells. The life of each cell comes directly from the sun. We are therefore a part of the sun, and we cannot in fact be separated from it. In the allegory of Solomon's temple, the little temple is the human body -- "made in the image." The ancient wise men knew this and called the sun the Lord of the Temple.
The art of presenting and preserving esoteric philosophical principles and ancient truths in figures of speech, and through myths and allegories, was not confined to the Old Testament. The New Testament abounds with them; its most important allegory, basic to its purpose and to the Christian religion itself, is the story of the birth of Jesus.
Those who chronicled the life and acts of Jesus found it advisable to metamorphose him into a solar deity. The historical Jesus was forgotten; nearly all the salient incidents recorded in the four Gospels have their correlations in the movements, phases, or functions of the heavenly bodies.
In the third century, when the church fathers were consolidating the Christian church, they had no knowledge of the date of Jesus' birth. They chose the date celebrated by the pagans, the winter solstice, when the darkest days give way to the promise of brighter ones. This was incorporated in terms of the zodiac into the story of the birth of Jesus, or the sun.
Later, as the story goes, the constellation of Orion rises in the East. The three bright stars in his belt are the three Wise Men who came from the East to offer gifts to the newborn King. These gifts were the new-old ideas incorporated into the teachings of Jesus, such as "love ye one another," "overcome evil with good," and "your Father and my Father are one," which replaced the old Jewish idea of "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." In the north are the two stars known to the Arabs as Martha and Mary. So are the starry heavens related to the great story. Later in the life of Jesus -- the sun -- the twelve signs of the zodiac become his disciples.
Thus does the zodiac continue in the New Testament, and the four points in the tabernacle of Moses and the four cherubs of Ezekiel's wheels are repeated in the four Gospels or Evangels of the New Testament. In fact, the book of Ezekiel is pure astrology.
Although several centuries had passed since the Jewish Scriptures were written, the presentation of astronomical and philosophical principles by means of the zodiac had not changed. Paul was a Jew, and he was familiar with the Jewish Kabbalah and the science of allegories. It is hardly possible to understand the Old Testament, or the New, without some knowledge of the Jewish Kabbalah, the codebook of symbology. From it one learns the esoteric meaning of the first ten numbers, the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the geometrical triangle, the square, and the circle -- also the esoteric lore contained in the zodiac -- and these are the elements which help one to solve some of the riddles of the Old Testament. Hidden indeed is the meaning of the stories in the Old Testament, even when they are translated into the terms of the zodiac.
Why are the truths of nature so concealed?

INVERTING THE TEACHINGS
(source unknown)What's up is down. What isn't, is.
"They said what's up is down, they said what isn't, is. They put ideas in his head that he thought were his "
- Bob Dylan, "Clean Cut Kid"
You may have heard of Hasan Sabbah, the 11th Century "Old Man of the Mountains," who led a secret society of militant Ismaili Muslims in what is now northern Iran. Members of the sect called themselves fedayeen, but as often happens in history, the name their opponents coined is the one with which they're stuck: Hashshashin, or assassins, after the hashish Sabbah plied them with to provide visions of the "garden of earthly delights" that would follow upon a martyr's death.
Now here's something about Sabbah and his followers I didn't know until recently, from Mandelbaum's The Psychic Battlefield:
"Through the various degrees of initiation into the assassins, the followers were force-fed dogma, until they reached the ninth degree of initiation, where they learned that the prior teachings were false. "Prophets and teacher, heaven and hell were all nothing, future bliss and misery were idle dreams." Small wonder that the majority of the actual killers of the assassins were those who themselves had never undergone initiation. "
It is from the assassin's secret doctrines that we have the expression "Nothing is true, and everything is permitted."
This appears to be an important and not uncommon dynamic of secret societies at the highest grades of initation. (Or at least so far as the uninitiated can tell, given their secrecy.) The hidden knowledge reserved for the final degrees seems often to stand the earlier teaching on its head. God can turn out to be the devil, and the devil your elder brother Lucifer. You thought you were illuminated? Here's your illumination for ya, right here.
The significance of this secret moral inversion could be found in the question begged by the case for an elite paedophilic cult: How could something so incredible be so pervasive, and operate internationally with the protection of professionals, judiciary and government officials? Perhaps because the bottom-heavy pyramid structure of secret societies provides numerous lower-order cadres who serve ends which are the absolute inverse of those they suppose. Just perhaps.
We can't know which of the charges against the Templars were legitimate, and which manufactured to destroy the Order, but knights of the highest rank were accused of secret doctrines which entailed devil worship and black magick. Similar charges have been levelled for years against the Templars' heirs in speculative Freemasonry. And regardless of the charges validity, there do appear to be inversions of values in the higher degrees. In Inside the Brotherhood, Martin Short has this to say about the order of the Holy Royal Arch, "Freemasonry's self-styled 'Supreme Degree'":
"To join...a Mason must already have reached the third degree in the Craft, but if he goes no further he is no other Mason's inferior. His Master Mason's ritual tells him he knows all the fundamental secrets....
Safe within its 'Chapters', the Royal Arch dismisses the Craft's third degree as incomplete and its secrets as sham.... All the rest are unaware that their tongues might have been torn out and throats cut across just for betraying 'secrets' which are bogus, even by Masonic standards.
One of the Royal Arch's secrets is the "Grand Omniforic Royal Arch Word," Jahbulon, which is inscribed upon three sides of a triangle on Royal Arch altars, and appears to be the "Sacred and Mysterious Name" of God.The name is a contraction of Jehovah, Baal and On, or Heliopolis, the centre of Egyptian sun worship. The word cannot be spoken outside the temple, on pain, it is said, of having one's brains exposed to the sun. "
Short also tells how, when England's two Grand Masonic Lodges were united in 1816, the rituals were revised to eliminate overtly Christian references, except for the phrase "the morning star," which is said to be derived from a reference to Jesus in Revelation 22:16. But the most common biblical meaning of "Morning Star" is as a synonym for Lucifer:
Is it possible that the Morning Star remained in the rituals, not by mistake, but as a deliberate but cryptic Masonic reference to Lucifer?
If so, this would invert the meaning of a crucial section of the third-degree ritual:
'...the Lord of Life will enable us to trample the King of Terror beneath our feet, and lift our eyes to that bright Morning Star, whose rising brings peace and salvation to the faithful and obedient of the human race.'
To the men who drew up this ritual in 1816, who was the Lord of Life and who the King of Terror? Could God be Lucifer, and Lucifer God? Might they be sitting in each other's seats? Are Masons today inadvertently worshipping the devil instead of a benign God?
On July 14, 1889, Albert Pike, the "Grand Commander, Sovereign Pontiff" of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the United States allegedly issued these instructions to 23 Scottish Rite Supreme Councils throughout the world (again from Short):
That which we must say to the crowd is - we worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates in the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine.
....
Thus the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.
Now consider the Ordo Templi Orientis, which was founded in the late 19th Century as a hermetic branch of Freemasonry, which goes the Royal Arch one - and perhaps many more - better. At least according to The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O., edited and introduced by Francis King (a zip file of the book can be downloaded by right-clicking here), and the "Song of the Perfect Initiate":"How the Simple Mason plies
Tool to Temple, See it rise!
Princes of Jerusalem,
How we mock and scoff at them!
Boaz broken,
Jachin gone,
Freely spoken Jahbulon,
All above Is overthrown
For the love
Of Babalon.
Lend a hand, my trusty brother!
While there stand upon another
Of their Temple still a stone
Give the grip of
Abaddon!
Split the skull! On guard the sword!
Earth be null and heaven abhorred!
All s a lie, although divine
Give annihilation s Sign! "
There's the bottom-heavy pyramid, celebrated in song, by those who regard themselves as near the capstone.
Finally, let's look at Opus Dei, the flagellate lay Catholic cult. Members are expected to mortify the flesh with devices such as the cilice, a "spiked chain worn around the upper thigh for two hours each day," to whip themselves to the point of drawing blood, to sleep on the floor once a week, and perform various other practices of physical and mental self-abuse. But consider what former member John Roche says in "Whips, Spiked Garters and Bloodshed - My Terrifying Life in Ruth Kelly's Religious Sect", which first appeared in The Mail on Sunday January 23 (Ruth Kelly is the UK's new education secretary):"Many members are upright Christians but the ethos of it's higher levels is deeply secretive, often dishonest, oppressive and psychologically damaging to it's members and families."
Justice Antonin Scalia, you may recall, is Opus Dei. How does the mortification of the flesh jibe with his bizarre message last Fall to an audience at Harvard University:
"I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged"?In other words, could Opus Dei be another secret society in which those who have attained the highest degree are privy to a secret wisdom, which inverts the teachings of the lower orders?
After having progressed through flagellation and mortification - which without a supposed spiritual purpose resembles nothing so much as simple sexual masochism - could the final lesson of Opus Dei be, like that of the Hashshashin, Nothing is true, and everything is permitted?
Hiding in plain sight has never been so good
WHO takes a page from a Michael Crichton Novel

Flying Pigs and the WHO: Flying Pigs, Tamiflu and Factory Farms Part II
As the late great American poet Yogi Berra might have put it, ‘this just gets absurder and absurder.’ The international agencies supposedly responsible for monitoring worldwide dangers of new pandemic threats, the WHO and CDC are acting like the directors of a Hollywood ‘B’ grade sci-fi movie or the author of a copycat version of Michael Crichton’s Andromeda Strain novel.
The global panic over outbreak of a new human-to-human Swine Flu pandemic is increasingly revealed as a likely operation in mass psychological terror whose only beneficiaries are the few global pharmaceutical giants that are in the business of peddling so-called ‘antiviral’ drugs—Roche, SmithKlineGlaxo and Novavax most prominently. The losers are the rest of us normal folks.

Talk Show Host Banned From UK For Political Opinions
Savage appears on hate speech list for opposing illegal immigration
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
American talk show host Michael Savage has been banned from entering the UK by the Home Secretary because of his political opinions and opposition to illegal immigration, which is considered “hate speech” in airstrip one.
“Home Secretary Jacqui Smith (pictured) said she decided to make public the names so others could better understand what sort of behaviour Britain was not prepared to tolerate,” according to an ITN report.
The list of 16 “unwelcome” individuals includes Neo-Nazis, former Ku Klux Klan members, racist skinhead groups and Islamic preachers supposedly linked to terrorist groups.
Alongside these appears the name of Savage, who is a conservative talk show host in the mould of Rush Limbaugh who has consistently opposed illegal immigration and the declining stature of U.S. sovereignty.
“Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded,” said Smith.
Apparently the ‘rules that people live by’ in the UK do not include the right to free speech and political opinions considered unpalatable by what whistleblowers have described as a “Stalinist cabal of control freaks” currently in power in Britain.

'Pedophile Protection Act'
'Hate crimes' law definitions
would protect 547 sex 'philias'
The leader of a pro-family organization says families across the nation need to contact their U.S. senators now to try to derail a legislative plan that already has passed the U.S. House and is being awaited by President Obama – after a Democrat confirmed that it would protect "all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or 'paraphilias' listed by the American Psychiatric Association."
WND columnist Janet Porter, who also heads the Faith2Action.org Christian ministry, today cited S. 909, dubbed the "Pedophile Protection Act" as an extreme danger to America.
As H.R. 1913, the House version of the so-called "hate crimes" bill was adopted on a 149-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the draconian law.
Democratic Sens. Edward Kennedy and Patrick Leahy immediately introduced a matching plan in the U.S. Senate, and activists say a vote in committee could come as early as tomorrow.
The proposal, formally called the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act after a Wyoming homosexual who was killed in a horrific robbery and beating in 1998, creates a special class for homosexuals and others with alternative sexual lifestyles and provides them protections against so-called "hate."
It specifically denies such protections to other targeted classes of citizens such as pastors, Christians, missionaries, veterans and the elderly.
The Newspaper Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Illinois State Police troopers seized a high-performance muscle car and set it aside for the personal use of an influential police official. The Associated Press reported that a suspected drunk driver in a 2006 Dodge Charger was pulled over in January 2007. The troopers used a state seizure law to confiscate the vehicle.
Once the paperwork was complete, the 425-horsepower vehicle — which had an as-new base price of $38,000 — was handed over for the personal use of Ron Cooley, 56, the Executive Director of the Illinois State Police Merit Board. Taxpayers also pick up the fuel tab for gas-guzzling 6.1 liter V-8 as he drives to and from work each day and on various business trips.
A good relationship with the merit board is essential for any state trooper looking to move up into a position of responsibility.
“The mission of the Illinois State Police Merit Board is to remove political influence and provide a fair and equitable merit process for the selection of Illinois State trooper candidates and the promotion and discipline of Illinois State Police officers,” the board website explains.
According to AP, the Charger is just one of two dozen desirable cars — including an Audi and a Cadillac Escalade — grabbed and kept by state troopers. State police officials decline to identify the beneficiaries of the confiscated car policy claiming it could endanger officers if the type of car they drove at taxpayer expense were made public.
PART FOUR: Read It Before It Is Banned By The US Government
In 1992, former M16 British Intelligence Officer, Dr. John Coleman wrote a book about “The Committee of 300” in which he claimed inside knowledge concerning world manipulation by an occult Illuminati elite. According to Coleman, “Moriah Conquering Wind” is one of the modern names the society members go by. He stated: Included in the membership are the old families of the European Black Nobility, the American Eastern Liberal Establishment (in Freemason hierarchy and the Order of Skull and Bone), the Illuminati, or, as it is known by the Committee, “MORIAH CONQUERING WIND”…. In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled “new” society - only it isn’t new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: “THE OPEN CONSPIRACY-- PLANS FOR A WORLD REVOLUTION.” Dr. Coleman went on to warn about the devotion that the occult oligarchists have toward implementing a One World Order through emerging uniformed codes and laws by which everybody on the planet will be enslaved to the desires of the ruling elite. For our purposes, the connection between Freemasonry, Skull and Bones (which George W. Bush is also a member of), and the knowledge that “Moriah Conquering Wind” is a title by which the occult insiders identify themselves, is notable. Moriah is an ancient term and its connection to “divine wind” as a vehicle for God and angelic war is important to Jewish Apocalyptic and mystical literature as well as to mainstream religious and esoteric minded peoples for different reasons...
As of May 1, 2009, we are now 100 days into the Also Known As (AKA) Obama regime. So how are things going?
While the lamestream media is fawning all over AKA and falling all over themselves making sure that nothing makes it into the news deleterious to his image, the lamestream media has not been able to stop the exposure of the real AKA via the internet; a situation they hope to counter via the "fairness doctrine" better known as the doctrine to end free speech for anyone who dares think for themselves, tell it like they see it, who fails to tow the official party line of the left-wing Marxists.
According to a document released by the Department of Homeland Security on March 26, 2009, alternative media — the internet — is defined as …
"A term used to describe various information sources that provide a forum for interpretations of events and issues that differ radically from those presented in mass media products and outlets."
Can't have media that differs radically from the lamestream media; that just won't do. The truth just might find voice!
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini would be so proud.
So how is AKA really doing? Well, let's see … in no particular order:
The Lies. On the campaign trail, AKA promised his administration was going to be one of integrity, openness and transparency; he was going to be different. It wasn't long, however, before his administration was full of left over Clinton administration sleaze, tax cheats like Timothy Geithner, and lobbyists. True to his Chicago underworld connections, he did them proud in the sleaze department. And it wasn't long before it became apparent that openness and transparency were spelled O-P-A-Q-U-E, not the least of which was and is his failure to prove his eligibility to the office he has usurped.
The $100/lb Wagyu steaks. While Americans are losing their jobs, their homes and their ability to maintain any standard of living; while tent cities are springing up in large cities across the United States, AKA and company are living large in the White House, throwing parties because they are bored in the absence of the party life afforded them by the Chicago underworld nightlife.
Heading off to the G20 Summit, AKA flew with an entourage that would make a king proud, including 1) his own chef and food; God forbid that he should eat what other people eat; after all, he's such an important personage — at least in his own mind; 2) Marine One; and 3) the Beast, a new fully armored vehicle, complete with radiation and chemical shielding, blast shielding, night vision goggles and oxygen supply that befits someone who obviously thinks himself quite important in the scheme of things!
All of this follows in the vein of the
1. $3.6 Trillion 2010 budget of porkbarrel spending errantly titled A New Era of Responsibility; Renewing America's Promise;
2. the $787 piggy package of porkbarrel spending (H.R. 1) that has, by some accounts, ended up in the pockets of AKA cronies and campaign donors; and
3. the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 (H.R. 1105) which is $410 billion in nothing but pet porkbarrel spending.
AKA is busy redistributing the wealth right out of the country and into the pockets of his cronies while Americans are being pushed into third-world living standards; all in the name of hope and change.
Maybe it's time the right to vote directly correlated to the ability to read and comprehend the Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution and Bill of Rights! Can't pass the test in English, no vote; pass/fail set at 80%. Not only would we get rid of every mentally challenged liberal in Congress but AKA would be headed for South America where his Marxist philosophy would fit right in!
The teleprompter prez. It became readily apparent early on in AKA's regime that while deemed the "great orator" by the lamestream media, who falls all over themselves portraying AKA in the best possible light (it's the race thing, don't you know) AKA couldn't string two words together in a coherent fashion without the aid of a teleprompter. So bad was the situation that it became readily apparent for all to see that the "great orator" wasn't the joker you were looking at but the guy you couldn't see behind the curtain. Websites soon appeared spoofing the talking teleprompter, espousing the rights of the teleprompter, and speaking on behalf of the overworked and underpaid teleprompter. AKA then switched to a wide-screen which soon appeared in camera shots as well.
Insulting the British Prime Minister and Britian. On the occasion of the first visit by the British Prime Minister, AKA demonstrated his sophomoric social acumen by presenting the Prime Minister with a set of DVD's that would not play on a foreign equipment. This followed the ungracious removal of the bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy in Washington, DC; the bust having been presented to former President Bush as a token of sympathy by the British following 9/11. On the occasion of his visit with Queen Elizabeth he presented her with an IPod of his speeches; no doubt just what she wants to listen to.
Bowing to foreign heads of state. The American people did not miss the bow of fealty that AKA made to King Abdullah of the House of Saud. Not only did he subjugate himself to the King but the whole of America. While the lamestream media said nothing, the American people were not pleased. Pictures have popped up on the internet showing a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken sitting at the feet of the King … must be what AKA was reaching for when he genuflected in fealty before King Abdullah!
Denigrating America and Americans to foreign countries. Before the entire world, AKA pronounced America and Americans "arrogant, dismissive, even derisive." Speak for yourself, AKA! As stated before, if you don't like America, we won't miss your leaving one iota! In fact, we will help you go!
Joan Swirsky has written an excellent article on this subject; The President Who Hates His Country. Well worth the read. As one staunch American patriot wrote, "If you read it, you'll say 'Traitor!' There can be no other conclusion."
Before the Turkish Parliament, AKA stated, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation, or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."
Oh, really! This just shows how little AKA knows of the foundations and history of this nation; probably has something to do with the fact that he isn't an American by either birthright or naturalization. I don't know about anyone else, but AKA doesn't speak for me. In fact, from where I stand, AKA is not the president of the United States; he's a usurper in the Oval Office, illegally occupying the White House.
Bias shown Islamic faith. Actions by AKA in his first 100 days make it very apparent that while he denies he is a Muslim, he is biased toward the religion of his childhood.
Release of the torture memos. Until last week, one of the most sophomoric, asinine, egregious stunts yet pulled by AKA. In so doing, he painted a target squarely in the middle of the forehead of every American serving on foreign soil, including those on foreign soil by order of the commander in chief! The arrogance, the stupidity of AKA is really mind-boggling to the reasoned, thinking, common sense American!
The Air Force One over New York City stunt. Just when we thought there was nothing more juvenile he could possibly pull, word came that one of the Air Force One 747 planes, accompanied by two F-16 Fighter jets, did a low-altitude fly over at Ground Zero in New York City; that while the NYPD and public works were aware this was going to happen, no effort was made to apprise the Mayor or the people, sending thousands into the streets in panic.
AKA was quick to apologize and claim it all a "mistake," state that it would not happen again, word leaked that Air Force One may have had AKA campaign donors on board during the flight. Can you say pay-to-play?
The cost to the taxpayers for this stunt was right at $330,000.
It is being claimed that the incident was a photo-op with Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty. Hey, AKA, ever heard of Photoshop? I'm sure you have. The picture to the left took less than five minutes to construct and didn't cost $330,000! My thanks to Tom for the picture and the right to use it.
It was disclosed last week that the AKA Certification of Live Birth (COLB) documents, appearing mostly on pro-AKA sites, have been forged and/or altered. These documents can be viewed at:
dailykos.com
politifact.com
fightthesmears. com
latimesblogs. latimes.com
latimesblogs. latimes.com
latimesblogs. latimes.com
These images are represented by digital files, ie, computer language which can be opened using a text editor program.
The COLB appearing at the dailykos.com URL above carries the following information in the digital file:
What this says is that this image was forged/altered on June 12, 2008 at 08:42:36 using Photoshop CS3 for Macintosh.
The COLB appearing at the politfact.com URL above carries the following information in the digital file:
It seems that a computer named "Ducky" was used and Adobe to alter this file. An e-mail to Amy Hollyfield who wrote the article for politifact.com, requesting of her where she obtained the image shown in the article, goes unanswered.
The same is true of the COLB appearing at the fightthesmears. com URL above:
And the same is also true of the COLB appearing at the L.A. Times URL's above:
That the digital images appearing on fightthesmears. com, politifact.com, and the L.A. Times all appear to have been altered using the same computer makes it apparent they all came from the same source. It is also obvious from the digital files of these images, that there are multiple forged/altered copies on the internet.
It is these COLB's that Congress have referenced in claiming that AKA was born in Hawaii. It is very obvious that not one of these documents is authentic.
In my last article, I addressed the comments of one Janice Okubo, "spokeswoman" for the Hawaii Department of Health. Okubo had claimed that the COLB being waved about by AKA looked like her own "birth certificate" , Okubo obviously not knowing the difference between the COLB and a long-form birth certificate issued at the time of birth.
Request for clarification of Okubo's comments remains unanswered, answer in itself.
On March 14, 2009, a request for disclosure, under the laws of Hawaii, was made to the Department of Health. That request for disclosure reads as follows:
Pursuant to Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, I request one copy, complete, of all documents submitted to your office by
Barack Obama or Barry Obama
Barack H Obama or Barry H Obama
Barack Hussein Obama or Barry Hussein Obama
Barack Soetoro or Barry Soetoro
Barack H Soetoro or Barry H Soetoro
Barack Hussein Soetoro or Barry Hussein Soetoro
… for the purpose of requesting reproduction of documents by your office.
Please send the requested information to the above address supplied.
Receiving no response to the first request; a second request was e-mailed directly to Okubu. That request also remains unanswered. Neither request for disclosure has been officially denied as a result of the requested documents being exempt from disclosure.
The failure of the Hawaii Department of Health to respond, suggests several possibilities:
1. Collusion by the Hawaii Department of Health with AKA to thwart the public's right to know;
2. There have been no requests made of the Hawaii Department of Health by AKA for any document which means that all the documents showing up on the internet are forgeries;
3. The Hawaii Department of Health, in the usual fashion of government entities, believes that by ignoring the request, it will go away.
Of course, the birth certificate is not the only issue.
AKA has claimed that he was, at birth, a dual citizen of both the U.S. and Britain. This would void any claim of being a natural born citizen and make him ineligible to the office of president under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, United States Constitution; dual citizenship does not equate to natural born. The natural born citizen clause was written to preclude individuals with dual loyalties, ie, dual citizenship from becoming president.
There is also the matter of the adoption of AKA by Lolo Soetoro and AKA's Indonesian citizenship; said citizenship continuing past his 18th birthday when he traveled to Pakistan on a non-American passport (probably on an Indonesian passport).
What can you do?
Send this article to your representatives in Congress. Demand an investigation; demand that AKA be forced to produce the following documents, under all names he has used:
1. long form birth certificate;
2. adoption records;
3. education records;
4. health records;
5. selective service records;
6. passport records;
7. social security records including disclosure of all social security numbers he has used;
… and that this be done immediately.
Do not take the inane excuses, such as have already been proffered to date by representatives to Congress, as answer. Force them to do their job. Removing the usurper to the Oval Office is not only their duty but their sworn obligation under their oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution.
Obama, Receives Foreign Student tuition aid

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND DEMAND THEY LOOK AT THIS PROOF…
Subject: Smoking gun finally found?
April 1, 2009
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new direction.
Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned”, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.

Due to the fact that Obama arrogantly refuses to unseal his vital records and uses his attorney Robert Bauer as a tool to harass and initmidate law abiding citizens and attorneys; there are numerous rumors on the internet about those records.
Recently I received an e-mail, stating that Obama has received a Fullbright scholarship, while at Occidental. Fullbright is given to foreign students.
[ Expensive tuition Occidental prides itself in being a Fullbright Scholarship "producer", which means: an aggressive social action College enabling qualified "foreign" applicants to attend undergraduate studies there...producing the fees/costs to attend via financial aid loans, grants, scholarships. ..in order that the be able to school feed/sustain itself.
"(Occidental is one of the country’s top producers of student Fulbright Award winners)."
"...Roughly three quarters of students receive financial aid..."

When 73% of your students are on Financial Aid for what is now
$34,000 a year base tuition before expenses…compare Harvard
at about $2,000 less annual tuition, and its break down the comparable costs there at:
[link to www.collegecrunch. org]
AND YET Obama is likely enabled to attend on perhaps a full scholarship because of his mother’s associations with the FORD Foundation to encourage being sponsorshipfrom his father’s country of Kenya…meaning he needs a Kenyan passport, in addition tohisIndonesian one .
But WHO QUALIFIES for the Fullbright Scholarships? :
The Fullbright scholarship either BRINGS FOREIGN STUDENTS TO THE UNITED STATES to learn and be educated to receive/obtain a college/university undergraduate degree, or it will ONLY sponsor existing College/University US CITIZEN GRADUATES (prefereably Master’s Degree and above) to go abroad.
[link to us.fulbrightonline. org]
Since Obama was then 18-20 yr. old Barry Soetoro…Obama was AT THAT TIME , defined by the Financial Aid terms of the Fullbright Scholarship in 1979, 1980, 1981…as a NON-US CITIZEN and “foreign national”.

…Obama needs to provide original vital records or certified copies of such records, as computerised documents might be photoshopped. This is particularly important, as representative of Hawaii health department, Dr. Fukino has only released a statement, that the Hi Health department has A document on file. She did not elaborate, what document.
Since HI statute 338 allows foreign born children of Hawaiian residents to obtain Hawaiian birth certificates (as it was reportedly obtained for Obama’s half sister Maya Soetoro, born in Indonesia) and those can be obtained based on a statement of one relative only, such as grandmother or grandfather (which of course can be biased), it is imperative that the courts hear those cases on the merits and that the law enforcement and judges finally start doing their job and sign subpoenas for all of Obama’s vital records.
If you have certified copies of any original documents, please mail them to my office

Something strange is afoot when Popbitch – provider of a weekly email beloved of students, stuffed full of celebrity tittle-tattle and links to the silliest miscellany of the web – breaks off from such glorious trivia to encourage readers to support GoldmanSachs666.com, a deadly serious website measuring the political tentacles of the mighty investment bank. Mr Morgan is not the sort of young hot head you find protesting against the G8. He is a 53-year-old registered financial adviser from Florida, but he has attracted a handful of volunteers to beef up the website and to amass information on the Goldman alumni network and its power. "Goldman dipped into taxpayer funds via AIG," he says. "Who gets paid off 100 cents on the dollar these days? Only Goldman it seems. It is all about looking at the connections. Where do all the Goldman Sachs executives go? I see them as running the world. They are like the Standard Oil of the last century, too big and too powerful, with people flocking from Goldman to government and from government to Goldman."
If Adam Wilson had had a sense of making history he might have chosen his words more carefully. “Go Badgers,” he wrote, in a message posted on the Twitter website last month. The phrase, a rallying call for his university’s sports team, seemed entirely unremarkable – until the research scientist revealed in a second message just how he had sent it. “Spelling with my brain,” he wrote 20 minutes later. Wilson had become the first person to post electronic messages just by thinking about them. Wilson was not, of course, working unaided. Sitting snugly on his head in a lab at the University of Wisconsin was a device that looked a little like a bobble hat but was actually a miniaturised brain scanner. Inside each bobble a sophisticated package of miniaturised electronics was picking up the tiny electrical fields generated by the workings of his brain...

TITLE: Nervous System Manipulation by EM Fields from Monitors
Issued to: Loos, Hendricus
Abstract: Physiological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic fields that are pulsed with certain frequencies near 1/2 Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and HD TV screens, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or DIGITAL TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be embedded in the program material, or it may be overlaid by modulating a video stream, either as an RF signal or as a video signal. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. For certain monitors, pulsed electromagnetic fields capable of exciting sensory resonances in nearby subjects may be generated even as the displayed images are pulsed with subliminal intensity.
Expanding Biometric Scanning Indoctrination In Schools
Hoping to build on the success of the biometric finger scan pilot program which began earlier this year, Maureen Faron, district food service supervisor, announced the program will be expanded to three more schools next year. Faron said the program assigns an identification number to a student, according to the ridges of the fingerprints. The print, or scan, acts like a debit card, deducting money for the student's lunch from an existing account. The program has been used at the high school and McDowell Elementary School. Faron said 361 students at McDowell and 371 at the high school enrolled in the program. Faron told the Board of Education April 27 that she wants to expand the program to East Woods, Ellsworth Hill and Evamere schools, and broaden the program at the high school. The cost would be $25,500, which would purchase 17 new scanners at...
The wristbands use the same technology as electronic tollbooths, security key cards and the newest U.S. passports. But at Precision Dynamics, this sophisticated electronic know-how has found its niche at theme parks, where the high-tech wristbands act as high-security admission passes, cashless debit cards, hotel room keys and a form of identification to reunite lost children with parents. In the last year alone, Precision Dynamics' wristbands came on line at Great Wolf Resorts' newest water park in Concord, N.C.; at the Schlitterbahn Water Park in Galveston, Texas; and at Water World, one of the nation's largest water parks, near Denver, Colo. In total, more than 50 theme parks across the country strap the wristbands on visitors. Company leaders envision a future when they can expand the technology for use in border security and hospital identification, among other purposes.
Eye In The Sky
For intelligence communities around the world, outer space is fast becoming a high-ground, hide-and-seek arena. Spy satellites are the new tools to keep a watchful eye on any sort of subversive activities that threaten to disrupt peace in their respective territories. With the recent successful launch of radar satellite called Risat-2, India has joined the growing list of nations seeking round-the-clock surveillance through spy satellites. The Indian security forces had been seeking such capability for a long time and the need to procure one quickly was precipitated after the Mumbai attacks. Risat-2 will also provide India the capability to track incoming hostile ballistic missiles. The satellite is capable of taking high-resolution photographs through clouds, in darkness and via camouflage, enhancing real-time intelligence-gathering capabilities. The key to the new technology is high processing speed. The new satellite’s systems can process data at speeds that are 1,000 times faster than..
Babylon Ruins Reopen in Iraq, to Controversy
Time long ago eroded the sun-dried bricks that shaped ancient Babylon, the city of Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, where Daniel read the writing on the wall and Alexander the Great died. Colonial archaeologists packed off its treasures to Europe a century ago. Saddam Hussein rebuilt the site in his own megalomaniacal image. American and Polish troops turned it into a military camp, digging trenches and filling barricades with soil peppered with fragments of a biblical-era civilization. Now, the provincial government in Babil has seized control of much of Babylon — unlawfully, according to the State Board of Antiquities and Heritage — and opened a park beside a branch of the Euphrates River, a place that draws visitors by the busload.
Demons From Lion Statue Had Possessed Family, Says Divine Healer
Evil spirits had placed a spell on people trying to rid a young woman of demons -- demons that could have invaded her after others urinated on a concrete statue of a lion, the High Court at Wellington was told today. In a remarkable testimony, a man who described himself as a "divine healer" told how he helped end a makutu, or curse-lifting ceremony, in Wainuiomata in October 2007, in which Janet Moses, 22, drowned. Nine members of Ms Moses' extended family deny charges of manslaughter. The crown alleges they restrained her and poured water into her eyes and down her throat during the curse-lifting ceremony in the tiny granny flat, crowded with people. Their defence lawyers say the family believed Ms Moses was actually possessed and none of the accused was acting with any criminal intent. Name suppression for the nine lapses at noon tomorrow. During the ceremony an evil spirit was said to have jumped into a young girl.
Probe Of Masonic Jesters Goes National
To hear the leadership of the Royal Order of Jesters tell it, the illegal activities that ensnared three Buffalo-area members in a federal investigation are isolated events not in keeping with Jesters traditions. But sources close to the investigation and former Jesters from other parts of the country tell a different story, one of bizarre activities — including routinely hiring prostitutes for gatherings, sex competitions and degrading initiation rites for new members — at many Jesters outings, with off-duty police hired to keep nonmembers away... While the case against the three Buffalo-area Jesters is wrapping up, with sentencings expected soon, federal agents have expanded their investigation and are looking into allegations that illegal activities occurred at outings sponsored by more of the Jesters’ 191 chapters.
This isn't just "buzz" to get you excited about a new movie coming; we really are being buzzed by asteroids and other NEOs (Near Earth Objects), and one day these conjunctions could become collisions! There are lots of NEOs out there orbiting the sun. Some, like comets, are less worrisome since they are composed primarily of ice and small, rocky particles that dissipate upon entering Earth's atmosphere. Others, however, like asteroids are thought of as minor planets that are large enough to damage Earth and its environment if an encounter should take place. Astronomers estimate that there are approximately 1100 near Earth asteroids bigger than one kilometer in diameter and more than one million that are larger than 40 meters in diameter. Those smaller than 40 meters tend to burn up in the atmosphere, but the impact of a 40-meter diameter asteroid is equivalent to a three-megaton bomb! One megaton is the equivalent explosive power of one million tons of TNT.
Asteroids Could Cause Tsunamis
Asteroid trackers now have something else to worry about: tsunamis. Computer models from the US Los Alamos National Laboratory show that asteroids landing in the ocean would cause waves so powerful that they would devastate the coastlines of several continents. Usually caused by earthquakes or volcanoes, a tsunami is a fast-moving ocean wave that retains its destructive energy while traveling enormous distances. When it strikes a continental shelf, the wave loses speed and its height increases. Historical records in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands show that tsunamis can exceed 990 feet (300 meters) in height – higher than all but the tallest skyscrapers. "An asteroid impact would induce a series of waves that could scour thousands of miles of coastline with walls of water and roiling debris," says Jack Hills, an astrophysicist at the Los Alamos laboratory. Hills and his colleagues estimate that the tsunami produced by a three-mile-wide asteroid hitting the mid-Atlantic Ocdean would swamp the upper east coast of the United States to the Appalachian Mountains, as well as drowning the coasts of France and...
Did A Country-Sized UFO Hover Above Switzerland Last Month?
On the morning of Friday the 24th of April of this year employees at MeteoSwiss (Switzerland’s meteorological department) got the surprise of their lives. Huge circular fields hovering over Switzerland were picked up by their radars (picture above). The blue coloured circles covered the entire country. The question was asked as to whether a massive UFO was in the upper-atmosphere above the scenic mountainous nation or perhaps these circles were signs of an imminent hurricane. Felix Schacher, a senior Meteorologist at MeteoSwiss claimed the circles were not UFOs or the signs of a hurricane about to wreak havoc on his country. Mr Schacher told the Swiss news site ’20 Minutes’ that they were merely caused by the reflection of water droplets. A few minutes after being queried on the issue the radar images were hurriedly removed from the departments website. Are we being told everything the Swiss meteorological knows about these radar images? Many Swiss UFO researchers have left comments on various internet forums expressing their doubt about that...
Dinosaur Blood Extracted From Bone
Collagen, hemoglobin, elastin, laminin and cell-like structures resembling blood and bone cells have been found in a dinosaur bone scientists still claim is 80 million years old, according to a report in Science magazine today. Paleontologist Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University first claimed to have isolated soft tissues and collagen from a Tyrannosaurus rex leg bone several years ago. But because the leg was broken during excavation, the evidence was damaged and could never be independently confirmed. Schweitzer then examined a more pristine leg of a plant-eating hadrosaur excavated from sandstone and found even better samples of soft tissue, according to the report.
Animal to Human Xenotransplantation Takes Leap Forward
I am assuming these are adult stem cells, since the type was not mentioned in the story, which generally means non embryonic. My attempts to find out otherwise were for naught. However, a scientist source I contacted told me, "Has to be ASC; they haven't formed much in the way of an actual organ, in lab or in body, with ESC." However, if I find out differently, I will let you all know. But even then, the IPSCs continue to come on strong, now having been made with blood cells. So, if this works--always a big if in early research--a patient's adult stem cells could be used to grow a new organ in a sheep, which would then be transplanted back to the human when the time was right...
Scientist Claims Breakthrough With Organ Grown In Sheep
Huddled at the back of her shed, bleating under a magnificent winter coat and tearing cheerfully at a bale of hay, she is possibly the answer to Japan’s chronic national shortage of organ donors: a sheep with a revolutionary secret. Guided by one of the animal’s lab-coated creators, the visitor’s hand is led to the creature’s underbelly and towards a spot in the middle under eight inches of greasy wool. Lurking there is a spare pancreas. If the science that put it there can be pushed further forward, Japan may be spared an ethical and practical crisis that has split medical and political opinion.
The Nazi euthanasia programs, which used starvation, gas chambers and Phenobarbital overdoses to kill its victims, grew out of the pseudoscience of eugenics that did not come from Germany, but largely the United States. Dr. Susan Benedict, from the University of Botswana, spoke Tuesday about the “steps to the final solution” in the Third Reich, and specifically about the sterilization and euthanasia programs that led to the death or concentration camps usually associated with the Holocaust. “The handicapped were not only devalued but stigmatized greatly,” Benedict said. “So, more than 350,000 people were sterilized in Germany.” In addition to sterilization models that were actually narrower in Germany than in the United States, Benedict described Commander of the Nazi Party Adolph Hitler’s plans to begin euthanasia in the event of war.
