Juan! As you know, after the 2002 peace proposal by the then Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at the Arab League summit meeting in Beirut and re-endorsed at the Riyadh Summit in 2007, the entire Arab League declared that it would recognize the state of Israel in exchange for her complete withdrawal from the occupied territories (including East Jerusalem), but the Israeli government swiftly rejected it. Incidentally the Islamic Conference Organization, including Iran, has also endorsed that proposal. Iran’s official policy is that it will stand by any decision adopted by the Palestinians. Ironically, Ariel Sharon said that the new plan could not be accepted because it would replace US resolutions 242 and 338, which in fact Israel has no intention of implementing. Even HAMAS has grudgingly recognized Israel.
The founder of HAMAS, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was blown up in his wheelchair after morning prayers in March 2004 together with two bodyguards and nine bystanders, had offered a 100-year truce with Israel. HAMAS military commander Ahmed al-Jabari, who was killed in an Israeli strike as he was riding in a car in Gaza on 14 November 2012, which started the nine-day Israeli war with Gaza, was reportedly considering another long-time truce with Israel. So there has been no shortage of attempts by the Arabs to recognize Israel in return for her withdrawal from the occupied territories but Israel has officially annexed Jerusalem and has no intention of leaving most of the conquered territories.
The offer of money to buy East Jerusalem is a non-starter. However, as you say, now with the Palestinian Authority accepted as an observer member of the UN, it is time for all Arabs – and instead of making belligerent comments Iran should also joint them too – to push for the Arab League plan and for the international community to support them to achieve their goal, to ensure that Israel lives in peace with her neighbors, alongside an independent, viable Palestinian state.

Investigative Report On Venezuela
April 16th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
Henrique Capriles, after election.
After the death of Hugo Chavez in March, the political party ‘Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela’ (PSUV) was left under significant pressure to substitute Chavez, since he was a remarkable figure for his supporters and allies.
The acting President, and successor of Chavez, Nicolas Maduro had to hold imminent elections after his death, but doubts surrounded his political opponents as to how these elections would prevail.
Candidate and rival, Henrique Capriles, had lots to say after Maduro announced his victory in Venezuela’s RCTV, “If you make that coward proclamation, you are an illegitimate candidate.”
“We got reports that some boxes full with ballots moved from one place to another without explanation,” Capriles said.
Recognizing that Venezuela is in a state of “political crisis” Capriles argued that his wish is that the situation be resolved.
“This struggle has not ended,” Capriles said. “We are not going to recognize a result until each Venezuelan vote is counted,” assuring that Maduro, besides the CNE can ask the recount to assure that no form of manipulation was practiced during cast of ballots.
Maduro, despite Capriles controversial accusations responded, “If I win by one vote, I won.”
In Caracas, troops dispersed a crowd of protesters. Twelve students who protested against Maduro’s election were reportedly injured in Barquisimeto, a city in the middle of the country.
Images spread by Twitter showed injured protesters being carried away. The scale of the unrest as yet is hard to verify.
Maduro initially stated that he was willing to accept a recount. On Monday, however, the council – which is skewed towards the ruling camp – said the result was irreversible and proclaimed Maduro as President that same day. An inauguration is set for 19 April.
With no sign of a recount taking place, the decision has sparked outrage among opposition supporters, not just Capriles.
The European Union (EU) on Monday noted the victory of Maduro, as announced in Venezuela, but stressed the importance of having an acceptable outcome to all parties after the opposition announced to recount the votes.
“It is important that the outcome of an election is accepted by all parties,” said spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic Community Affairs.
“If the National Electoral Council (CNE) decides to ensure trust to its voters, it must show total transparency, especially in view of the low margin victory the results have shown,” the spokeswoman said.
But if the EU is asking for a legitimate recount, Venezuela’s political allies are not interested in an electoral recount that could propose any form of fraudulent result.
Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Nicolas Maduro on his victory.
Putin expressed his “confidence that under the leadership of Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela can continue to strengthen their strategic partnership relations with Russia.”
The Kremlin chief reiterated Russia’s readiness to, “develop a constructive dialogue on the full range of bilateral and international issues in the interest of both countries and their peoples.”
The ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) also congratulated Maduro’s victory.
At a press conference the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of AAEE, Hua Chunying said, “We respect the choice made by the Venezuelan people and welcome Maduro on his election as President. ” This was said just a few hours after the announcement of the narrow victory of the man Hugo Chavez appointed as his successor.
The White House is not keen in congratulating Chavez’s successor, as the Obama and Bush administrations have never held a healthy relationship with the PSUV.
The US Presidential spokesman, Jay Carney, recalled in a press conference that “the opposition candidate and at least one member of the Electoral Council have called for a review of one hundred percent of the votes.”
Carney said that a step to count is “important, prudent and necessary” to ensure that all Venezuelans have “confidence” in the results coming out of the polls.
“In our opinion, the rush to make a decision under these circumstances would not fit the expectations of Venezuelans for a clear and democratic resolution,” said Carney.
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said that the outcome of the elections in Venezuela and the narrow victory of Nicolas Maduro “certifies strong polarization” in the South American country.
Speaking to reporters before attending a luncheon with business leaders organized by the House of Barcelona, Margallo is confident that the election results should be confirmed as soon as possible to maintain the good relations between Spain and Venezuela “whoever the final winner is.”
The President of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, on Monday quickly responded to concerns and criticism from Spain against Venezuelan elections.
“The people spoke as to whom to elect as President, and it was the candidate of the PSUV,” Maduro said.
“The Government of Spain would do well to only deal with their own problems, which equal many,” Cabello said.
Cabello wrote a message on Twitter in which he also noted that “for years this great country (Venezuela) has ceased to be a colony.”
However, Cabello, whom many consider Maduro’s main rival within their own political movement, tweeted, “The results oblige us to make a profound self-criticism.”
Maduro has missed almost 680,000 votes since the election last October in which his predecessor, the late Chavez, claimed a victory over opposition candidate Capriles.
With 99.1% of the votes counted, failing to meet the vote of Venezuelans abroad, Maduro has obtained 50.67% of the vote (7,505,338 votes), compared to 49.07% (7,270,403) of Capriles, so they’re both separated only by 234,935 votes.
The result is a loss of 679,099 votes that would have supported Chavez this time to Capriles. According to the newspaper El Universal, since 2006 the opposition won nearly three million votes going from 4,321,072 votes in 2006 to 7,270,403 this Sunday.
But outside of Maduro’s election, whether fraudulent or not, his connection with the paramilitary FARC could propose a threat to his relationship with neighboring countries like Colombia which has had troubles with the PSUV in the past.
Univision found that Maduro had ties with FARC, ”Maduro had close ties with FARC leaders, in particular with the late commander Raul Reyes and named Chancellor of the FARC, Rodrigo Granda, at least since late 2001 when he was deputy Maduro.”
“The government candidate is mentioned twenty times in a series of messages between different factions of the guerrillas, between 2002 and 2008, according to the computer files of Reyes published in 2011 by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, based in London.”
Maduro’s relation with the FARC could propose a threat to Colombia in an attempt to hold peaceful negotiations with the new Venezuelan leader.
Rodrigo Granda, alias Ricardo Tellez, leader of the (FARC) rejected any difficulty at the table of dialogue between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
“Certainly a win, as expected for Nicolás Maduro, is a guarantee to support the peace process in Colombia, which is a process that favors the whole continent,” said Granda (one of the key negotiators of the FARC) in conversations with the government of President Juan Manuel Santos.
Juan Manuel Santos, President of Colombia, has remain silent on Maduro’s victory. But earlier this year he said, “I hope that if President Chavez dies, Vice President Maduro will maintain the same collaboration that President Chavez gave us to fight against the FARC.”
What happens with FARC will imply collaboration from Venezuela and Colombia in order to maintain stability on the region and prevent guerrillas from expanding further north.
But some fear that the real danger in Venezuela is the struggle between dictatorship and democracy which could lead into civil war.
Capriles said, “the Cuban government will not rule in Venezuela,” and that the Venezuelan people would defend their sovereignty.
Complete Report: Bomb Blast Shocks Boston Marathon
April 15th, 2013Jaime Ortega- Boston.
First bomb Blast.
2:55 PM Eastern time, the first bomb explosion detonated at 653 Boylston Street at the Boston Marathon on the finish line as the crowd was cheering and runners came closer to finishing the last lap of the race.
People standing by the world flags on the right side of Boylston Street at the finish line. started to panic and tried to jump the yellow fences that separate the crosswalk from the road.
A few runners fell to the grown in shock, and received immediate assistance by the Boston medical department.
Five minutes later, another bomb detonated a 100 meters from the first explosion creating another shock wave. A dust cloud from the fire blast filled the air.
Second Explosion.
Witnesses who saw the first explosion thought it came from the fourth floor or from the neighboring trash cans. But after the second blast those watching the event thought it was caused by a terrorist act.
All the windows of the buildings close to the incident were smashed into small fragments by the sound wave injuring people inside their homes. Glass fragments fell from the sky after the explosion sending the debris i all directions.
A runner in the Boston Marathon said, “At first it sounded like a cannon blast, but it felt so strong it literally blew my hat off, I assume some people had severe injuries.”
“They just started bringing people in with no limbs,” said runner Tim Davey, of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to keep their children’s eyes shielded from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but “they saw a lot.”
Close to the detonation, The Boston Police department found a man with his shin bone exposed and missing his left leg laying across two corpses.
An African American lady lost her arm and was immediately transported to the hospital after losing a lot of blood.
The pavement was stained in blood and dust. An 8-year-old child was also found dead.
Soon after at 4:25 pm, Eastern Time a fire, and possible explosion, was reported at the John F. Kennedy Library in Dorchester, Mass. It is being investigated for a potential connection to the blasts that went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday just before 3 pm.
A Boston Police spokesperson told Talking Points Memo on Monday that an explosive device had gone off at the library. This information was later clarified on Twitter by BPD Public Information Bureau Chief Cheryl Fiandaca, who described the incident as “fire related.”
JFK Library.
Thus far the total of the deaths reported is three, and over 120 injuries, some which are in severe condition.
The White House was quick to react to the tragedy, and President Obama held an emergency press conference to speak about the possible outcome.
“We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama told reporters. “But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this. We will find out who did this, we will find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”
A possible suspect is been questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Boston Criminal Division department. The suspect is a 20-year-old Saudi Arabian national but it is unknown if this was a terrorist attack. He also suffered injuries. His affiliation with the terrorist attack is not conclusive.
“There is no suspect,” said Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis. “There are people we’re talking to.”
Professor Robert Pape.
Professor Robert Pape heads the Chicago project on security and terrorism at the University of Chicago.
He stated that if reports are true that investigators have recovered at least one unexploded bomb it could provide a critical break.
“These are the classic signs of a coordinated attack,” Pape says. “It is significant because with all the effort, especially since 9/11, to track materials that go into bomb-making, there’s an extremely good chance they’ll be able to use it. Think of it as the fingerprints from the bomb itself. Not so much the bomb-maker, but the materials, the chemicals that went into the bomb, and to trace it back to find out where the materials came from.”
The head of an extremist Jordanian Muslim Salafi group said early Tuesday that he was “happy to see the horror in America” after the explosions in Boston.
“American blood isn’t more precious than Muslim blood,” said Mohammad al-Chalabi, who was convicted in an al-Qaida-linked plot to attack U.S. and other Western diplomatic missions in Jordan in 2003.
Homeland Security however does not officially credit any Islamist extremist group to be linked to the attack.
Historically some of the worst atrocities committed on US soil have come from enemies within, and the FBI is also looking at a possible domestic threat.
One example would be Eric Rudolph, 46, who began a campaign of terror with the first of his four bombings targeting Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
Thousands of spectators were gathered for a concert when Rudolph planted a pack under a bench containing three pipe bombs surrounded by nails.
Also in the past 4 years, shootings in Virginia Tech, Colorado and the most recently shooting in Connecticut could have the Department of Homeland Security looking at threats within.
Some witnesses who recorded the events captured a curious image of a mysterious man on a roof-top, walking around, looking toward the street where the incident took place. Its is unclear who that man is.
Mysterious man on roof top captures attention.
There is more to come in the next few hours, so keep updating The Daily Journalist, premier report.
Half Machine Half Hero
April 12th, 2013
Tank Man is known in The Chinese Communist Party as Tabu-Man otherwise known as the Unknown Rebel. Till this day, his real name still creates controversy, and what happened to him still remains a mystery. The nickname of the anonymous man who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks the morning after the Chinese military forcibly removed protesters from in and around Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989.
The man achieved widespread international recognition due to the videotape and photographs taken of the incident. Despite his anonymity, he is commonly (though not necessarily correctly) referred to in Chinese as Wang Weilin as dubbed by the Sunday Express magazine.
His heroic last stand reminds us all, that in time of crisis people should fight for what is right, even though everything is against us. For the Chinese youth, his historical figure is helped activist like Ai Weiwei to take a stance against the communist governments oppression on its citizens.
For what the two minutes of the video is worth, they present the controversy that remains a social dilemma and political aptitude till this day. Enjoy the video, because Google and Youtube China have permanently banned his name on the web.
The Palestinian Muslim Student Association Propaganda For Activist Approval
April 11th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
Picture depicts a false image of Palestinian women suffering. In reality, she was told what to do.
Palestine is often regarded as a victim rather than the perpetrator, but fantasy is often a distorted reality in a culture were fundamentalists promote martyrdom as payback rather than a civic democratic solution.
Zionism is not a great alternative to Islamic fundamentalism either, but most Jews worldwide are secular or atheist and not orthodox in practice.
The Muslim Student Association propaganda advertised in campuses across the U.S. is not a peaceful movement. It is not destined to promote democracy. Its destiny is to wipe out Israel.
The problem is that in the U.S. it’s legal to publicly protest against Israel because the forefathers of the constitution allowed certain rights in order to express the liberties of the oppressed who were under the rule of Christian morality.
This was in contrast to the oppressive Roman Catholic Church that censored freedom of speech in Europe before the Reformation in the late 15th Century, which ended the Pope’s reign.
As a result of the Reformation the ideology of freedom of speech has persisted for the past century. It is only under these criteria that the Muslim Student Association is legally allowed to express its views freely and without confrontation or censorship from civil authorities.
Under Islamic rule-ship (Sharia-Law), westerners living in democratic nations would not be able to express themselves freely without punishment.
It is under the advantage of young Muslims to live in cohesion with gays, Christians, Jews, Mormons, Bahais, Hindus, Buddhist, Zoroastrians, Shintos, Catholics, Jehovah Witness, atheist, agnostics, skeptics, converts, reverts, pagans, activist and other belief systems opposed to their world views to help diversify their narrow outlook on the world; unless they see all other forms of worship and practices, as enemies of Allah and his prophet Muhammad.
If that’s the case, Muslims should not use western infidel media to influence the anti-Israeli propaganda. The Muslim propaganda to diminish Islamic radical views to point a blame finger to Israel’s Zionism should be considered nothing less than sheer hypocrisy.
Young westerners protesting against the nation of Israel and waving the freedom flag alongside Muslim conduits are only promoting a political agenda, but that agenda is based on the premise that Israel does not have the rights to occupy Palestine.
However, the Muslims supporting the young western activist are using that same propaganda as an excuse to propel hatred towards Israel. So Israel sinks inside the depths of the ocean to fulfill their Koranic agenda which is ‘not’ political, but religious.
Lets look at Egypt. The Islamic Brotherhood used the young Egyptian secular activist movement to expel Hosni Mubarak out of power. It worked remarkably well.
But as soon as the secular Egyptian activist celebrated the dethronement of the dictator, they faced a much bigger dilemma! That dilemma was their temporary ally, the Islamic Brotherhood, which wanted to take control of Egypt via-Islam would thus mean going back to a land were theocracy overcomes tyranny.
It’s the same principle used behind protesting alongside young western infidels. And the idea is simple, ‘Let’s take advantage of democracy, and use their system to benefit us, as if we are part of it but never of it.” It’s a painted facade.
Most of the student activists outside the MSA who joined forces to protest against Israel, should underline that its not just a political cause for Muslims, but one sponsored by religion.
Political causes are sometimes indirectly intertwined with religious causes, and it becomes hard to grasp the difference when ideals collide to promote a central stance.
It’s harder to grasp the problem when the public is only focusing on one piece of the cake. But if we are going to be strict with Israel, let’s look at the accusers making the charges.
Muslims should likewise be protesting the historical atrocities committed to western Africans during the Eighteen-Nineteen Century A.C., when Arabic and Berber Muslim traders, exterminated over 100,000,000 African women, destined to sexual slavery. The deaths were a result of crossing the desert without water. That might be the highest massacre on record.
When American activist protest against Israel’s occupation they quickly forget to lead by example, because Americans should likewise give the U.S., back to the Native American Indian tribes they forcefully expelled and murdered. The is of peculiar interest as the original inhabitants now remain secluded in a small reservation known as ‘Navajo Nation’, just about the size of Palestine.
Palestinian children are brainwashed from birth to hate Israel even by means of suicide. Do western activist relief groups support Jihad? So, if they support Jihad and women rights, why worry about Israel’s problems? Let the children of Palestine continue martyrdom as an excuse to fight Israel’s holy war for territory, but protest Israeli occupation because Israel’s final mission is to conquer the world via submission in the name of peace or global jihad. (Joke)
In essence the problem resides when religious cults use democracy for their own agendas. It seems peaceful to the uneducated eye, but it’s a deceiving technique that serves the rules of their own religious basis. This could be Zionism, Mormonism or Islam. The point of the matter is that the same people who accuse Israel of occupation are the ones who believe martyrdom is the way to heaven and don’t apologize for their crimes committed in the West without any apology, justice is truly misrepresented.
Zionism is wrong, but Radical Islam is less sophisticated than Zionism and brutal. Those who follow it should not blame Israel for conquering Palestine. Consider that Muhammad killed and raided villages of ancient idol worshipers who did not agree with his point of view.
Politics does not serve propaganda like religion. Religion is bias to the belief it serves, and activist using Palestine as a role-model for freedom of the media, just feed radical extremist who hide in their ideological paradigm closet that they blame is the west.
The White House Takes North Korea Seriously
April 10th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
The North Korean threats appear to be serious. The White House believes Pyongyang may launch one of its ballistic missiles at any time since the most recent intelligence reports reveal that the regime is likely to complete the preparations for the final launch soon, according to CNN.
The Obama Administration believes the launch could occur at any moment. As explained by the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, the U.S. government continues to take steps in response to the “war rhetoric” and North Korean actions.
Carney specified that they will continue to relocate missiles around the region as reconnaissance training for both the defense of U.S. and its allies, to assure stability.
“The North Korean statement on advising foreigners to evacuate Seoul is part of useless rhetoric that only serves to heighten tensions. Such rhetoric only furthers to isolate North Korea from the international community,” he said .
Japan has said it is “on high alert” to incase it needs to intercept a missile from the North Korean communist regime. “We are on alert and have deployed our military units, we must be ready and vigilant,” said Shinzo Aba, the Japanese Defense Minister in a press conference.
Just this Tuesday, the commander Samuel Locklear, the highest commander of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific, said that North Korea’s threats are “clear” and point in a “direct conflict to U.S. national security and to peace and regional stability,”
Locklear, who appeared Tuesday at a hearing of the Armed Services Committee of the U.S. Senate, warned that movements executed in recent weeks by North Korea “underscore the need for effective missile defense”, but was satisfied with the preparation against a possible U.S. attack.
Level ‘very dangerous’
For its part, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon has warned that the level of tension on the Korean peninsula is “very dangerous” and a small incident could trigger “an uncontrollable situation.” Ban Ki-moon made the remarks after meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.
“The current level of tension is very dangerous. A small incident, caused by a stone or a wrong judgment can unleash an uncontrollable situation,” said the UN secretary general, who was “very concerned” about the developments in the area. Therefore, Ban urged North Korea to “halt the provocations”.
The secretary general, who was born in South Korea, was in favor of reopening the Kaesong industrial complex, whose activities were suspended with the withdrawal of the 54,000 North Korean workers in the joint force between North and South.
Kaesong Ban described as “greater cooperation project to success” between the two Koreas.
Major defense
United States has strengthened its defense in the Pacific by sending destroyers and missile systems to the increasing threats deliver from North Korea and the rising tensions with China in recent weeks.
U.S. and South Korea believe that North Korea plans to launch a missile around April 15, the birthday of the founder of the North Korean state, Kim Il-sung.
Instead of offering to Buy East Jerusalem, the Arab League should invite Israel to Join It
April 4th, 2013By Juan Cole.
Shaikh Hamad al-Thani, the leader of Qatar, proposed in his speech to the Arab League the creation of a $1 billion fund to preserve the Arab character of East Jerusalem, which is gradually being taken over by Israelis and its Arab inhabitants gradually expelled. Shaikh Hamad offered to put in $250 million to start off the project.
Palestinians reacted skeptically, since Arab League summits have seen many munificent offers of aid to them that never materialized. Qatar has a better track record on such matters, however, and really does have the money.
Qatar has also pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinians in Gaza, to alleviate the worst effects of the Israeli blockade on its Occupied civilians.
This tendency to try to deal with the Palestinians’ problems by throwing money at them is an improvement on the military flailing about of past decades, which never produced any breakthroughs. But it is no substitute for diplomacy.
What would be really radical would be for the Arab League to recognize Israel inside 1949 borders and invite Israel to join the organization. After all, the vast majority of Israelis are either Jews who had lived in the Arab world or Palestinian-Israelis. There is a better case for Israel than for Somalia. And Egypt and Jordan already have extended that recognition, and Qatar and other states have behind the scenes perfectly correct relations with Israel.
While the Israelis are unlikely to change any policies as a result of such an offer, it would at least begin bringing them into the diplomatic system in the Middle East and would be a means of putting diplomatic pressure on them.
I know, it won’t happen soon. Maybe eventually. But it would be more practical than just promising to pour money into Palestinian areas. That won’t work because the pledges often aren’t fulfilled, and since the Palestinians are stateless, they don’t really have firm property rights, so any new property or refurbished buildings can just be usurped by the Israeli squatters at will.

Douglas Valentine Responds to Questions About The Intelligence Community
April 1st, 2013
Douglas Valentine is the Author of ”The Phoenix Program” and a government intelligence investigator.
1) When we think of the Intelligence Community, the common view is that they’re exclusively serving the nations interests and infrastructure. But are they protecting their own interests or the nation’s?
2) Does the CIA act independently from the NSA, or DIA? And does the Government have the same grip on the Intelligence Community it had a few decades ago?
3) Why is the Phoenix program important to understand?
4) Is the CIA launching more operations than ever before. If so, for what purpose?
5) Should the average American trust the Intelligence Community and assume its mission is to safeguard the Nation from outside threats?
6) Obama doesn’t speak much about the IC, but it has become very large this past decade. Were Romney and Obama hiding the IC’c expansion to the public?
7) What is your biggest fear from the IC?
The North Korean Media Nemesis
March 30th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
Last February, North Korea, released a series of fake provocative videos that show missile attacks on the U.S. White House, and 150.000 U.S. soldiers brought captive by the North Korean Army.
Authoritarian regimes such as N.K. propose an interesting media study, when we analyze the propaganda techniques used, aimed strategically to brainwash the public sphere.
Its not just a method used in N.K., but N.K. presents one of the most extreme case studies of media manipulation currently shown in our modern day in age. Iran, Pakistan, Sudan and other countries with no democratic backbone also use the media as the main choice of preference to reaffirm their theo-authoritarian regimes.
THE CLUSTER PROBLEMS:
North Korea, thrives on Chinese imports. Unlike China, a highly industrial manufacturer provider to the world for wholesale services, N.K. does not provide “services” outside its borders.
In recent years, many North Koreans have been allowed to migrate to China for better opportunities. China provides better education programs for many young North Koreans, than the standard poorly funded, educational programs granted by the communist party.
N.K’s Gross Domestic Product is relatively small compared to South Korea. S.K. is ranked number 15th in a world scale of the elite economic countries, while N.K. has not fully recovered from the Cold War years.
Its interesting to notice, that when you observe N.K. night-sky on Google Earth, one quickly realises the lack of energy produced by N.K. as opposed to S.K..
ACCESSORIES, BIAS AND COMMUNICATION ISSUES:
The Korean Central News Agency, is the official news agency of N.K. and the main wired service provider for all news networks inside the country.
The Korean Central Broadcasting Station and the Pyongyang Broadcasting Station are the top stations in N.K. and are heavily influenced by the KCNA wired services.
AM radio stations, also run the KCBS and the North Korean PBS, providing access to biased information only and without alternative points of view to the public sphere.
The problem is that for every North Korean neighborhood, access to a television set is limited. And energy is consider a commodity rather than a basic asset.
South Korean trademark companies like Samsung, LG, or Kyrocera are not allowed to sell their products passed the N.K. border. Instead, N.K. supplies itself with Chinese technology, such as TCL, a mainstream multi-service provider of media products for cell-phones, computers and televisions.
South Korean technology ranks high alongside Swish and Japanese products. China does not rank yet, as a high as the countries above, which leaves N.K., with a poor selection of less sofisticated products.
Full Internet access is restricted for most of the population in N.K., as only 10% of its population enjoy full access. That 10%, consist of outside-contractors, government agencies and a few rich influential North Koreans.
China’s influence in N.K. communication is visible on web browsers like Google, where
search restrictions take place.
ONE BIG STORM:
The key problem with N.K. resides in what, I call, the perfect ‘communication storm.’
The ‘communication storm’ is a perfect mixture of four basic components:
A) lack of outside influence and integration from other foreign countries in N.K.
B) Complete isolation from the outside world, except for countries that share same ideologies.
C) Biased news stories constantly producing one angled bias, that do not have the ability to be compared with others.
D) Extreme poverty.
Once such storm occurs in the world of communications, its almost impossible for any country to move forward and change its behavior without a radical response.
N.K. fabricated false video attacks on U.S. soil, show a country in desperate need of attention, trying to desperately obtain support from other similar regimes worldwide.
Other totalitarian regimes are also controlled by similar predictable media manipulation techniques used in N.K., but far less noticeable, than the ones integrated in westernized cultures.
The Never Ending Human Trafficking
March 28th, 2013Slavery has been practiced since the first cradle of civilization arose a few thousand years ago. Quick demand for supply & demand, ,have made communications and information interconnect the whole world to newer levels never seen before in human history. In the present, human trafficking, is become a world wide problem. Third world countries suffer sexual-trade, child labor, and exploitation in many different forms. Countries influenced by western democracies have not stopped the outward expansion of slavery, and things are only getting worse. This video made by a christian organization that promotes anti-slavery, briefly shows the phenomena of world slavery in our present day. Would slavery ever stop?
Is Google Private Or Public?
March 25th, 2013
Google Corp. once again, has been accused of gathering information from its users and have failed to explain for what purpose the information is used. I am aware that Google Mail, records all text messages in the chat box, and saves them on a folder. Google Cloud Services gather data from your computer to a online Google server that collects all data and stores it, wherever you go. However access to your data, can be obtained easier with cloud, than having your own personal hard disk if someone worried to collect individual personal information. But the question really is, what do you think Google is doing with all that information, and explain briefly why.
1) Help the NSA gather more information to protect the “critical infrastructure”
2) Sell information to the government unrelated with “home spying”
2) Sell the information to gigantic institutions, banks, corps, firms…..
4) Just gather data for no reason (lol)
Catherine Haig.
Claude Nougat.
“What’s Google really up to ? I like number 4 – gather data for no reason, LOL – because I’m against all theories that posit plots being hatched all over the place…”
Another North Korean Manipulated Fantasy
March 19th, 2013
By Jaime Ortega.
The video was released this week by The North Korean Public Television. It shows a phantom attack on US soil and an attack on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. This series of videos shows time and time again how the Korean government literally brainwashes its population via media propaganda to subjugate the people under absolute control. No smokes screen can hide the real intentions these messages carry for the vanished relationship between the Western Democracies and North Korea. Enjoy.
The CIA History Of Covert Clandestine Operations
March 19th, 2013By Milton Cooper.
The Secret Government
Origin, Identity & Purpose of MJ-12
During the years following World War II the government of the United States was confronted with a series of events which were to change beyond prediction its future and with it the future of humanity. These events were so incredible that they defied belief. A stunned President Truman and his two Military Commanders found themselves virtually impotent after having just won the most devastating and costly war in history. The United States had developed, used, and was the only nation on Earth in possession of the atomic bomb which alone had the potential to destroy any enemy, and even the Earth itself. At that time the United States had the best economy, the most advanced technology, the highest standard of living, exerted the most influence, and fielded the largest and most powerful military forces in history. We can only imagine the confusion and concern when the informed elite of the United States Government discovered that an alien spacecraft piloted by insect-like beings from a totally incomprehensible culture had crashed in the desert of New Mexico.
Between January 1947 and December 1952 at least 16 crashed or downed alien creft, 65 alien bodies, and 1 live alien were recovered. An additional alien craft had exploded and nothing was recovered from that incident. Of these incidents, 13 occurred within the boundaries of the United States not including the craft which disitegrated in the air. Of these 13, 1 was in Arizona, 11 were in Mexico, and 1 was in Nevada. Three occurred in foreign countries. Of those, 1 was in Norway, and the last 2 were in Mexico. Sightings of UFOs were so numerous that serious investigation and debunking of each report became impossible utilizing the existing intelligence assets.
An alien craft was found on February 13, 1948 on a Mesa near Aztec New Mexico. Another craft was located March 25, 1948 in Hart Canyon near Aztec, New Mexico. It was 100 feet in diameter. A total of 17 alien bodies were recovered from those two craft. Of even greater significance was the discovery of a large number of human body parts stored within both of these vehicles. A demon reared its ugly head and paranoia quickly took hold of everyone then “in the know”. The Secret Lid immediately became an Above Top Secret lid and was screwed down tight. The security blanket was even tighter than that imposed on the Manhatten Project. In the coming years these events were to become the most closely guarded secrets in the history of the world.
A special group of America’s top scientists were organized under the the Project Sign in December 1947 to study the phenomenon. The whole nasty business was contained within the shroud of secrecy. Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge in December 1948. A low level collection and disinformation project named Blue Book was formed under “Grudge”. 16 volumes were to come out of “Grudge” including the controversial “Grudge 13” which I and Bill English saw, read, and revealed to the public. “Blue Teams” were put together to recover the crashed discs and dead or alive aliens. The Blue Teams were later to evolve into Alpha Teams under Project Pounce.
During these early years, the United States Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency exercised complete control over the Alien Secret. In fact the CIA was formed by Presidential Executive Order first as the Central Intelligence Group for the express purpose of dealing with the alien presence. Later the National Security Act was passed establishing it as the CIA. The National Security Council was established to oversee the intelligence community and especially the alien endeavor. A series of National Security Council Memos and Executive Orders removed the CIA from the sole task of gathering foreign intelligence and slowly but thoroughly “legalized” direct action in the form of covert activities at home and abroad.
On December 9, 1947, Truman approved issuance of NSC-4, entitled “Coordination of Foreign Intelligence Information Measures” at the urging of Secretaries Marshall, Forrestal, Patterson, and the director of the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff, Kennan.
The Foreign and Military Intelligence, Book 1, “Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Government Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities.” United States Senate. 94th Congress, 2nd Session, Report No. 94-755, April 26, 1976, p 49 states: “This directive empowered the Secretary of State to coordinate overseas information activities designed to counter communism. A top secret annex to NSC-4, NSC-4A, instructed the director of Central Intelligence to undertake covert psychological activities in pursuit of the aims set forth in NSC-4. The initial authority given the CIA for covert operations under NSC-4A did not establish formal procedures for either coordinating or approving these operations. It simply directed the DCI to “undertake covert actions and to ensure, through liason with State and Defense, that the resulting operations were consistent with American Policy”.
Later NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 were to supercede NSC-4 and NSC-4a and expand the covert activities even further. The Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) was chartered to carry out an expanded program of covert activities. NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 validated illegal and extra-legal practices and procedures as being agreeable to national security leadership. The reaction was swift. In the eyes of the intelligence community “no holds were barred”. Under NSC-10/1 an Executive Coordination Group, was established to review, but not approve, covert project proposals. NSC-10/1 & /2 were interpreted to mean that no one at the top wanted to know about anything until it was over and successful. These actions established a buffer between the President and the information. It was intended that this buffer serve as a means for the President to deny knowledge if leaks divulged the true state of affairs. This buffer was used in later years for the purpose of effectively isolating succeeding presidents from any knowledge of the alien presence other than what the Secret Government wanted them to know. NSC-10/2 established a study panel which met secretly and was made up of the scientific minds of the day. This study panel was not called MJ-12. Another NSC memo, NSC-10/5 further outlined the duties of the study panel. These NSC memos and secret Executive Orders set the stage for the creation of the MJ-12 only 4 years later.
Secretary of Defense James Forrestal began to object to the secrecy. He was a very idealistic and religious man who believed that the public should be told. When he began to talk to leaders of the opposition party and leaders of the Congress about the alien problem he was asked to resign by Truman. He expressed his fears to many people and rightfully believed that he was being watched. This was interpreted by those who were ignorant of the facts as paranoia. Forrestal later was said to have suffered a mental breakdown and was admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital. In fact it was feared that Forrestal would begin to talk again and he had to be isolated and discredited. Sometime in the early morning of May 22, 1949 agents of the CIA tied a sheet around his neck, fastened the other end to a fixture in his room and threw James Forrestal out the window. The sheet tore and he plummeted to his death. He became one of the first victims of the cover-up.
The live alien that had been taken from the 1949 Roswell crash was named EBE. The name had been suggested by Dr. Vannever Bush and was short for Extraterrestrial Biological Entity. EBE had a tendancy to lie and for over a year would give only the “desired” answer to questions asked. Those questions which would have resulted in an undesireable answer went unanswered. At some point during the second year of captivity he began to open up and the information derived from EBE was startling to say the least. This compilation of his revelations became the foundation of what would later be called “Yellow Book”. Photographs were taken of EBE which, among others, I and Bill English were to view years later in GRUDGE 13.
In late 1951 EBE became ill. Medical personnel had been unable to determine the cause of EBE’s illness and had no background from which to draw. EBE’s system was chlorophyll based and he processed food into energy much the same as plants. Waste material was excreted the same as plants. It was decided that an expert in botany was called for. A botanist, Dr. Guillermo Mendoza, was brought in to try and help him recover. Dr. Mendoza worked to save EBE until mid 1952 when EBE died. Dr. Mendoza became the expert on alien biology.
In a futile attempt to save EBE and to gain favor with this technologically superior alien race the United States began broadcasting a call for help early in 1952 into the vast regions of space. The call went unanswered but the project continued as an effort of good faith.
President Truman created the super secret National Security Agency by secret Executive Order on November 4, 1952. Its primary purpose was to decipher the alien communications and language and establish a dialog with the aliens. The most urgent task was a continuation of the earlier effort and was code named SIGMA. The secondary purpose of the NSA was to monitor all communcations and emissions from any and all devices worldwide for the purpose of gathering intelligence, both human and alien, and to contain the secret of the alien presence. Project Sigma was successful. The NSA also maintains communcations with the Luna base and other Secret Space Programs. By Executive Order the NSA is exempt from all laws which do not specifically name the NSA in the text of the law as being subject to that law. That means that if the agency is not spelled out in the text of any and every law passed by Congress it is not subject to that or those laws. The NSA now performs many other duties and in fact is the premier agency within the intelligence community. Today the NSA receives 75% of the moneys allotted to the intelligence community. The old saying “where the money goes therein the power resides” is true. The DCI today is a figurehead maintained as a public ruse. The primary task of the NSA is still Alien communications but now includes other Alien projects as well.
President Truman had been keeping our allies, including the Soviet Union, informed of the developing alien problem since the Roswell recovery. This had been done in case the aliens turned out to be a threat to the human race. Plans were formulated to defend the Earth in case of invasion. Great difficulty was encountered in maintaining international secrecy. It was decided that an outside group was necessary to coordinate and control international efforts in order to hide the secret from the normal scrutiny of governments by the press. The result was the formation of a secret society which became known as the “Bilderburgers”. The headquarters of this group is Geneva, Switzerland. The Bilderburgers evolved into a secret world government that now controls everything. The United Nations was then, and is now, an international joke.
In 1953 a new president occupied the White House. He was a man used to a structured staff organization with a chain of command. His method was to delegate authority and rule by committee. He made decisions ONLY when his advisors were unable to come to concensus. His normal method was to read through or listen to several alternatives and then approve one. Those who worked closely with him have stated that his favorite comment was “just do whatever it takes”. He spent a lot of time on the golf course, This was no at all unusual for a man who had been career Army with the ultimate position of Supreme Allied Commander during the war. A post which carried 5 stars along with it. This President was Dwight David Eisenhower.
During his first year in office, 1953, at least 10 more crashed discs were recovered along with 26 dead and 4 live aliens, Of the 10, 4 were found in Arizona, 2 in Texas, 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Louisiana, 1 in Montana, and 1 in South Africa. There were hundreds of sightings.
In 1953 Astronomers discovered large objects in space which were moving toward Earth. It was first believed that they were asteroids. Later evidence proved that the objects could only be Spaceships. Project Sigma intercepted alien radio communications. When the objects reached the Earth, they took up a very high orbit around the Equator. There were several huge ships, and their actual intent was unknown. Project Sigma, and a new project: Plato, through radio communcations using a computer binary language, was able to arrange a landing that resulted in face to face contact with alien beings from another planet. Project Plato was tasked with establishing diplomatic relations with this race of space aliens.
In the meantime a race of human looking aliens contacted the U.S. Government. This alien group warned us against the aliens that were orbiting the Equator and offered to help us with our spiritual development. They demanded that we dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons as the major condition. They refused to exchange technology citing that we were spiritually unable to handle the technology which we then possessed. They believed that we would use any new technology to destroy each other. This race stated that we were on a path to self destruction, and we must stop killing each other, stop polluting the Earth, stop raping the Earth’s natural resources, and learn to live in harmony. These terms were met with extreme suspicion, especially the major condition of nuclear disarmament. It was believed that meeting that condition would leave us helpless in the face of an obvious alien threat. We also had nothing in history to help with the decision. Nuclear disarmament was not considered to be within the best interest of the United States. The overtures were rejected.
Later in 1954 the race of large nosed Gray Aliens which had been orbiting the Earth landed at Holloman Air Force Base. A basic agreement was reached. This race identified themselves as originating from a Planet around a Red Star in the constellation of Orion which we called Betelgoeuse. They stated that their planet was dying and that at some unknown future time they would no longer be able to survive there. This led to a second landing at Edwards Air Force Base. The historical event had been planned in advance and details of the treaty had been agreed upon. Eisenhower arranged to be in Palm Springs on vacation. On the appointed day the President was spirited away to the base and the excuse was given to the press that he was visiting a dentist.
President Eisenhower met with the aliens and a formal treaty between the Alien Nation and the United States of America was signed. We then received our first Alien Ambassador from outer space. His name and title was “Omnipotent Highness Krlll”, pronounced Krill. In the American tradition of distain for royal titles he was secretly called “Original Hostage Krlll”. You should know that the Alien flag is known as the “Trilateral Insignia”. It is displayed on their craft and worn on their uniforms. Both of these landings and the second meeting were filmed. The films exist today.
The treaty stated: The aliens would not interfere in our affairs and we would not interfere in theirs. We would keep their presence on Earth a secret. They would furnish us with advanced technology and would help us in our technological development. They would not make any treaty with any other Earth nation. They could abduct humans on a limited and periodic basis for the purpose of medical examination and monitoring of our development with the stipulation that the humans would not be harmed, would be returned to their point of abduction, that the humans would have no memory of the event, and that the Alien nation would furnish MJ-12 with a list of all human contacts and abductees on a regularly scheduled basis. It was agreed that each nation would receive the Ambassador of the other for as long as the treaty remained in force. It was further agreed that the Alien nation and the United States would exchange 16 personnel each to the other with the purpose of learning, each of the other. The alien guests would remain on Earth and the human guests would travel to the Alien point of origin for a specified period of time then return, at which point a reverse exchange would be made. It was also agreed that bases would be constructed underground for the use of the Alien nation and that 2 bases would be constructed for the joint use of the Alien nation and the United States Government. Exchange of technology would take place in the jointly occupied bases. These Alien bases would be constructed under Indian reservations in the 4 corners of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and 1 would be constructed in Nevada in the area known as S-4 located approximately 7 miles South of the western border of Area 51, known as Dreamland. All alien areas are under complete control of the Naval Department and all personnel who work in these complexes receive their checks from the Navy. Construction of the bases began immediately but progress was slow until large amounts of money were made available in 1957. Work continued on the “Yellow Book”.
Project REDLIGHT was formed and experimentation in test flying alien craft was begun in earnest. A super TOP SECRET facility was built at Groom Lake in Nevada in the midst of the weapons test range. It was code named DREAMLAND. The installation was placed under the Department of the Navy and clearance of all personnel required a “Q” clearance as well as Executive (Presidential) approval. This is ironic due to the fact that the President of the United States does not have clearance to visit the site. The alien base and exchange of technology actually took place in an Area known as S-4. Area S-4 was code named “The Dark Side of the Moon”.
The Army was tasked to form a super secret organization to furnish security for all alien tasked projects. This organization became the National Reconnaissance Organization based at Fort Carson, Colorado. The specific teams trained to secure the projects were called “Delta”.
A second project code named “Snowbird” was promulgated to explain away any sightings of the REDLIGHT crafts as being Air Force experiments. The SNOWBIRD crafts were manufactured using conventional technology and were flown for the press on several occasions. Project SNOWBIRD was also used to debunk legitimate public sightings of alien craft (UFOs). Project SNOWBIRD was very successful and reports from the public declined steadily until recent years.
A multimillion dollar secret fund was organized and kept by the Military Office of the White House. This fund was used to build over 75 deep underground facilities. Presidents who asked were told the fund was used to build Deep Underground Shelters for the President in case of war. Only a few were built for the President. Millions of dollars were funneled through this office to MJ-12 and then out to the contractors and was used to build TOP SECRET alien bases as well as TOP SECRET DUMB (Deep Underground Military Bases), and the facilities promulgated by “Alternative 2”, throughout the nation. President Johnson used this fund to build a movie theater and pave the road on his ranch. He had no idea of its true purpose.
The secret White House underground construction fund was set up in 1957 by President Eisenhower. The funding was obtained from Congress under the guise of “construction and maintenance of secret sites where the President could be taken in case of military attack: Presidential Emergency Sites”. The sites are literally holes in the ground, deep enough to withstand a nuclear blast and are outfitted with state of the art communications equipment. To date there are more than 75 sites spread around the country which were built using money from this fund. The Atomic Energy Commission has built at least an additional 22 underground sites.
The location and everything to do with these sites were and are considered and treated as TOP SECRET. The money was and is in control of the Military Office of the White House, and was and is laundered through a circuitous web that even the most knowledgeable spy or accountant cannot follow. As of 1980 only a few at the beginning and end of this web knew what the money was for. At the beginning were Representative George Mahon, of Texas, the chairmen of the House Appropriations Committee and its defense Subcommittee; and Representative Robert Sikes, of Florida, chairman of the House Appropriations Military Construction Subcommittee. Today it is rumored that House Speaker Jim Wright controls the money in Congress and that a power struggle is underway to remove him. At the end of the line were the President, MJ-12, the director of the Military Office and a commander at the Washington Navy Yard.
The money was authorized by the Appropriations Committee who allocated it to the Department of Defense as a TOP SECRET item in the Army construction program. The Army, however could not spend it and in fact did not even know what it was for. Authorization to spend the money was in reality given to the Navy. The money was channeled to the Chesapeak Division of the Navy Engineers who did not know what it was for either. Not even the Commanding Officer, who was an Admiral, knew what the fund was to be used for. Only one man, a Navy Commander, who was assigned to the Chesapeak Division but in reality was responsible only to the Military Office of the White House knew of the actual purpose, amount, and destination of the TOP SECRET fund. The total secrecy surrounding the fund meant that almost every trace of it could be made to disappear by the very few poeple who controlled it. There has never been and most likely never will be an audit of this secret money.
Large amounts of money were transferred from the TOP SECRET fund to a location at Palm Beach, Florida that belongs to the Coast Guard called Peanut Island. The island is adjacent to property which was owned by Joseph Kennedy. The money was said to have been used for landscaping and general beautification. Some time ago a TV news special on the Kennedy assassination told of a Coast Guard Officer transferring money in a briefcase to a Kennedy employee across this property line. Could this have been a secret payment to the Kennedy family for the loss of their son John F. Kennedy? The payments continued through the year 1967 and then stopped. The total amount transferred is unknown and the actual use of the money is unknown.
Meanwhile, Nelson Rockefeller changed positions again. This time he was to take C.D. Jackson’s old position which had been called Special Assistant for Psychological Strategy. With Nelson’s appointment the name was changed to the Special Assistant for Cold War Strategy. This position would evolve over the years into the same position Henry Kissenger was ultimately to hold under President Nixon. Officially he was to give “Advice and assistance in the development of increased understanding and cooperation among all peoples”. The official description was a smoke screen for secretly he was the Presidential Coordinator for the Intelligence Community. In his new post Rockefeller reported directly and only, to the President. He attended meetings of the Cabinet, the Council on Foreign Economic Policy, and the National Security Council which was the highest policy-making body in the government.
Nelson Rockefeller was also given a second important job as the head of the secret unit called the Planning Coordination Group which was formed under NSC 5412/1 in March or 1955. The group consisted of different ad hoc members depending on the subject of the agenda. The basic members were Rockefeller, a representative of the Department of Defense, a representative of the Department of State, and the Director of Central Intelligence. It was soon called the “5412 Committee” or the “Special Group”. NSC 5412/1 established the rule that covert operations were subject to approval by an executive committee, whereas in the past these operations were initiated solely on the authority of the Director of Central Intelligence.
By secret Executive memorandum, NSC 5410, Eisenhower had preceeded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent committee (not ad hoc) to be known as Majority Twelve (MJ-12) to oversee and conduct all covert activities concerned with the alien question. NSC 5412/1 was created to explain the purpose of these meetings when Congress and the Press became curious. Majority Twelve was made up of Nelson Rockefeller, The Director of Central Intelligence Allen Welch Dulles, the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Director of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, and six men from the executive committee of the Council on Foreign Relations known as the “Wise Men”. These men were all members of a secret society of scholars that called themselves “The Jason Society”, or “The Jason Scholars” who recruited their members from the “Skull and Bones” and the “Scroll and Key” societies of Harvard and Yale.
The “Wise Men” were key members of the Council on Foreign Relations. There were 12 members including the first 6 from Government positions thus Majority Twelve. This group was made up over the years of the top officers and directors of the Council on Foreign Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordon Dean, George Bush and Zbignew Brzezinski were among them. The most important and influential of the “Wise-Men” who served on MJ-12 were John McCloy, Robert Lovett, Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan, and Dean Acheson. Their policies were to last well into the decade of the 70’s. It is significant that President Eisenhower as well as the first 6 MJ-12 members from the Government were also members of the Council on Foriegn Relations.
Thorough researchers will soon discover that not all of the “Wise Men” attended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were chosen for “Skull and Bones” or “Scroll and Key” membership during their college years. You will be able to quickly clear up this mystery by obtaining the book “The Wise Men” by Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomas, Simon and Schuster, New York. Under illustration #9 in the center of the book you will find the caption; “Lovett with the Yale Unit, above far right, and on the beach: His initiation into Skull and Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk”. I have found that members were chosen on an ongoing basis by invitation based upon merit post college and was not confined to only Harvard or Yale attendees.
A chosen few were later intiated into the Jason Society. They were all members of the Council on Foreign Relations and at that time were known as the “Eastern Establishment”. This should give you a clue to the far reaching and serious nature of these most secret college societies. The Jason Soceity is alive and well today but now includes members of the Trilateral Commision as well. The Trilateralists existed secretly several years BEFORE 1973. The name of the Trilateral Commission was taken from the alien flag known as the Trilateral Insignia.
Majority Twelve was to survive right up to the present day. Under Eisenhower and Kennedy it was erroniously called the “5412 Committee” or more correctly the “Special Group”. In the Johnson Adminsitration it became the “303 Committee” because the name 5412 had been compromised in the book “The Secret Government”. Actually NSC 5412/1 was leaked to the author to hide the existence of NSC 5410. Under Nixon, Ford, and Carter it was called the “40 Committee”, and under Reagan it became the “FI-40 Committee”. Over all those years only the name changed.
By 1955 it had become obvious that the aliens had deceived Eisenhower and had broken the treaty. Mutilated humans were being found along with mutilated animals all across the United States. (cf the book “The Excalibur Briefing” by LtCol Thomas Bearden). It was suspected that the aliens were not submitting a complete list of human contacts and abductees to MJ-12 and it was suspected that not all abductees had been returned. The Soviet Union was suspected of interacting with them and this proved to be true. It was learned that the aliens had been and were then manipulating masses of people through secret societies, witchcraft, magic, occult, and religion. After several Air Force combat air engagements with alien craft it also became apparent that our weapons were no match against them.
In November of 1955 NSC-5412/2 was issued establishing a study commitee to explore “all factors which are involved in the making and implementing of foreign policy in the nuclear age”. This was only a blanket of snow that covered the real subject of study, the alien question.
By secret Executive Memorandum, NSC 5411 in 1954, President Eisenhower had commissioned the study group to “examine all the facts, evidence, lies, and deception and discover the truth of the alien question”. NSC 5412/2 was only a cover that had become necessary when the press began inquiring as to the purpose of regular meetings of such important men. The first meetings began in 1954 and were called the Quantico meetings because they met at the Quantico Marine Base. The study group was made up of 35 members of the Council on Foreign Relations secret scholars known as the “Jason Society” or “The Jason Scholars”. Dr. Edward Teller was invited to participate. Dr Zbigniew Brzezinski was the study director for the first 18 months. Dr. Henry Kissinger was chosen as the groups Study Director for the second 18 months beginning in November 1955. Nelson Rockefeller was a frequent visitor during the study.

The second phase meetings were also held at the Marine base at Quantico Virginia and the group became known as Quantico II. Nelson Rockefeller built a retreat somewhere in Maryland which could only be reached by air for MJ-12 and the study committee so that they could meet away from public scrutiny. This secret meeting place is known by the code name “The Country Club”. Complete living, eating, recreation, library, and meeting facilities exist at the location.
The study group was “publicly” closed in later months of 1956 and Henry Kissinger published what was officially termed the results in 1957 as “Nuclear Waepons and Foreign Policy” by Henry A. Kissinger, published by the Council on Foreign Relations by Harper & Brothers, NY. In truth the manuscript had already been 80% written while Kissinger was at Harvard. The study group continued veiled in secrecy. A clue to the seriousness Kissinger attached to the study can be found in statements by his wife and friends. Many of them stated that Henry would leave home early each morning and return late each night without speaking to anyone or responding to anyone. It seemed as if he were in another world which held no room for anyone else.
These statements were very revealing. The revelations of the alien presence and actions during the study must have been a great shock. Henry Kissinger was definitely out of character during the time surrounding these meetings. He would never again be affected in this manner no matter what the seriousness of any subsequent event. On many occassions he would work very late into the night after having already put in a full day. This behavior eventually led to divorce.
A major finding of the alien study was that the public could not be told, as it was believed that this would most certainly lead to economic collapse, collapse of the religious structure, and national panic which could lead into anarchy. Secrecy thus continued. An offshoot of this finding was that if the public could not be told then the Congress could not be told, thus funding for the projects and research would have to come from outside the government. In the meantime money was to be obtained from the military budget and from CIA confidential non-appropriated funds.
Another major finding was the aliens were using humans and animals for a source of glandular secretions, enzymes, hormonal secretions, blood, and in horrible genetic experiments. The aliens explained these actions as necessary to their survival. They stated that their genetic structure had deteriorated and that they were no longer able to reproduce. They stated that if they were unable to improve their genetic structure their race would soon cease to exist. We looked upon their explanations with extreme suspicion. Since our weapons were literally useless against the aliens MJ-12 decided to continue friendly diplomatic relations with them until such time as we were able to develop a technology which would then enable us to challenge them on a military basis. Overtures would have to be made to the Soviet Union, and other nations, to join forces for the survival of humanity. In the meantime plans were developed to research and construct 2 weapons systems using conventional and nuclear technology which would hopefully bring us to parity.
The results of the research were Projects Joshua and Excalibur. Joshua was a weapon captured from the Germans which at that time was capable of shattering a 4″ thick armor plate at a range of 2 miles using low aimed low frequency sound waves, and it was believed this weapon would be effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. Excalibur was a weapon carried by missile not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL, not to deviate from designated target more than 50 meters, would penetrated 1,000 meters of tuff hard pack soil such as that found in New Mexico, would carry a 1 megaton warhead, and was intended for use in destroying the aliens in their underground bases. Joshua was developed successfully but never used to my knowledge. Excalibur was not pushed until recent years, now there is an unprecedented effort to develop this weapon.
The events at Fatima in the early part of the century were scrutinized. On suspicion that it was alien manipulation, an intelligence operation was put into motion to penetrate the secrecy surrounding the event. The United States utilized its Vatican moles that had been recruited and nurtured during World War II and soon obtained the entire Vatican study which included the prophecy. This prophecy stated that if man did not turn from evil and place himself at the feet of the Christ the planet would self destruct and the events described in the book of Revelations would indeed come to pass. It stated that a child would be born who would unite the world with a plan for world peace and a false religion beginning in 1992. By 1995 the people would discern that he was evil and was indeed the Anti- Christ. World War III would begin in the Middle East in 1993 with an invasion of Isreal by a United Arab nation using conventional weapons which would culminate in a nuclear holocaust in the year 1999. Between 1999 and 2003 most of the life on this planet would suffer horribly and die as a result. The return of Chrust would occur in 2011.
When the aliens were confronted with this finding they confirmed that it was true. The aliens explained that they had created us through hybridization (cf Genesis Revisted, Sitchen) and had manipulated the human race through religion, satanism, witchcraft, magic, and the occult. They further explained that they were capable of time travel and the events would indeed come to pass. Later exploitation of alien technology by the United States and the Soviet Union utilizing time travel confirmed the prophecy. The aliens showed a hologram which they claimed was the actual Crucifiction of Christ, which the Government filmed. We did not know whether to believe them or not. Were they using our genuine religions to manipulate us? Or, were they indeed the source of our religions with which they had been manipulating us all along? Or, was this the beginning scenario of the Genuine END TIMES and the RETURN OF CHRIST which had been predicted in the bible?
A symposium was held in 1957 which was attended by some of the great scientific minds then living. They reached the conclusion that by or shortly after the year 2,000 the planet WOULD self-destruct due to increased population and mans exploitation of the environment WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM GOD OR THE ALIENS.
By secret Executive Order of Preseident Eisenhowere, the Jason Scholars were ordered to study this scenario and make recommendations from their findings. The Jason Society CONFIRMED the findings of the scientists and made 3 recommendations called ‘Alternatives 1,2, & 3″. “Alternative 1” was to use nuclear devices to blast holes in the Stratosphere from which the heat and pollution could escape into space; & change the human cultures from that of exploitation into cultures of environmental protection. Of the three, this was decided to be the least likely to succeed due to the inherent nature of man and the additional damage the Nuclear explosions would themselves create. “Alternative 2” was to build a vast network of underground cities and tunnels in which a select representation of all cultures and occupations would survive and carry on the human race. The rest of humanity would be left to fend for themselves on the surface of the planet. “Alternative 3” was to exploit the alien and conventional technology in order for a select few of leave the Earth and establish colonies in outer space. I am not able to confirm or deny the existence of “Batch Consignments” of human slaves which would be used for the manual labor in the effort as a part of the plan. The moon, code named “Adam”, would be the object of primary interest, followed by the planet Mars, code named “Eve”. As a delaying action, ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES INCLUDED BIRTH CONTROL, STERILIZATION, and the introduction of deadly microbes to control or slow the growth of the Earth’s population. AIDS is only ONE result of these plans. (cf World Health Organization’s smallpox vaccination map vs site origins of AIDS.) There are others. It was decided that it would be in the best interest of the human race to rid ourselves of the undesireable elements of our society. The joint U.S. and Soviet leadership dismissed Alternative 1, but ordered work to begin immediately on Alternative 2 and 3 virtually at the same time.
In 1959 the Rand Corporation hosted a Deep Underground Construction Symposium. In the Symposium report, machines are pictured and described which could bore a tunnel 45 feet in diamter at the rate of 5 feet per hour. It also displays pictures of huge tunnels and underground vaults containing what appear to be complex facilities and possibly even cities. It appears that the previous 5 years of all out underground construction had made significant progress by that time.
The ruling powers decided that one means of funding the alien connected and other black projects was to corner the illegal drug market. A young ambitious member of the Council on Foreign Relations was approached. His name is George Bush, who at that time was the President and CEO of Zapata Oil based in Texas. Zapata Oil was experimenting with the new technology of offshore drilling. It was correctly thought that the drugs could be shipped from South America to the offshore platforms by fishing boat where it would then be taken to shore by normal transportation used for supplies and personnel. By this method no customs or law enforcement agency would subject the cargo to search. George Bush agreed to help and organized the operation in conjunction with the CIA. The plan worked better than anyone had thought and has since expanded worldwide and there are now many other methods of bringing illegal drugs into the country. It must be always be remembered that George Bush began sales of drugs to our children. The CIA now controls all the worlds illegal drug markets. (ex cf Miami Judge admits documents in the Noriega case showing CIA operations to allow safe passage to drug planes in Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. 8/91)
The “official” Space Program was boosted by President Kennedy in his inaugural address when he mandated that the United States put a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Although innocent in its conception this mandate enabled those in charge to funnel vast amounts of money into black projects and conceal the REAL space program from the American people. A similar program in the Soviet Union served the same purpose. In fact a joint alien, United States, and Soviet Union base already existed on the Moon at the very moment Kennedy spoke the words. (Also cf book: “Alternative 3”.) On May 22, 1962, a space probe landed on Mars and confirmed the existence of an environment which could support life. Not long afterward the construction of a colony on the planet Mars began in earnest. Today cities exist on Mars populated by specially selected people from different cultures and occupations taken from all over the Earth. (shades of film: “Total Recall”.) A public charade of antagonism between the Soviet Union and the United States has been maintained over all these years in order to fund projects in the name of National Defense when in fact we are the closest allies.
At some point President Kennedy discovered portions of the truth concerning the drugs and the aliens. He issued an ultimatum in 1963 to MJ-12. President Kennedy assured them that if they did not clean up the drug problem he would. He informed MJ-12 that he intended to reveal the presence of aliens to the American people within the following year and ordered a plan developed to implement his decision. President Kennedy was not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and knew nothing of “Alternative 2 or 3”. Internationally the operations were supervised by an executive committee known as the “Policy Committee”. In the United States they were supervised by MJ-12 and in the Soviet Union by its sister organization. President Kennedy’s decision struck fear into the hearts of those in charge. His assassination was ordered by the Policy Committee and the order was carried out by agents of MJ-12 in Dallas. (cf Jack Ruby- CIA connections etc.)
President John F. Kennedy was murdered by the Secret Service Agent who drove his car in the motorcade and the act is plainly visible in the film. WATCH THE DRIVER AND NOT KENNEDY WHEN YOU VIEW THE FILM. All of the witnesses who were close enough to the car to see William Greer shoot Kennedy were themselves all murdered within 2 years of the event. The Warren Commission was a farce and Council on Foreign Relations members made up the majority of its panel. They succeeded in snowing the American people. Many other patriots who attempted to reveal the alien secret have also been murdered throughout the intervening years. (also cf the murders necessary within the CIA to conceal Bush’s bribing of the Iranian’s with arms in the book: “October Surprise” by Barbara Honnegar of the Reagan White House Staff.)
During the era of the United States initial space exploration and the Moon landings every launch was accompanied by alien craft. A Moon base dubbed Luna was sighted and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. Domes, spires, tall round structures which look like silos, huge “T” shaped mining vehicles which left stitch like tracks in the Lunar surface, and extremely large as well as small alien craft appear in the photographs. It is a joint United States, Russian, and alien base. The Space Program is a farce and an unbelievable waste of money. Alternative 3 is a reality and is not at all science fiction. Most of the Appollo astronauts were severely shaken by this experience and their lives and subsequent statements reflect the depth of the revelation and the effect of the muzzle order which followed. They were ordered to remain silent or suffer the extreme penalty, death, which was termed an “expediency”. One Astronaut actually did talk to the British producers of the TV expose “Alternative 3” confirming many of the allegations.
In the book “Alternative 003” the pseudonym “Bob Grodin” was used in place of the Astronaut’s identity. It was also stated that he committed suicide in 1978. This cannot be validated by any source and I believe that several so-called facts in the book are really dis- information. I firmly believe that this disinformation is a result of pressure put upon the authors and is meant to nullify the effect upon the populace of that British TV expose entitled “Alternative 3”. The headquarters of the international conspiracy is in Geneva Switzerland. The ruling body is made up of Representatives of the governments involved as well as the executive members of the group known as “The Bilderburgers”. Meetings are held by the “Policy Committee” when necessary on a Nuclear Submarine beneath the Polar ice cap. The secrecy is such that this was the only method which would insure that the meetings could not be bugged. I can say that the book is at least 70% true from my own knowledge and the knowedge of my sources. I believe that the disinformation was an attempt to compromise the British TV expose with information which could be proven false, just as the “Eisenhower Briefing Document” was released here in the United States under the contingency plan “Majestic Twelve”, and which can also be proven false.
Since our interaction with the aliens began we have come into possession of technology beyond our wildest dreams. A craft named Aurora exists at Area 51 which makes regular trips into space. It is a one stage ship called a TAV (trans atmospheric vehicle), and it can take off from the ground using a 7 mile runway, go into high orbit, return on its own power and land on the same runway. We currently have and fly atomic powered alien type craft at area S-4 in Nevada. Our pilots have made interplanetary voyages in these craft and have been to the Moon, Mars, and other planets aboard these craft. We have been lied to about the true nature of the moon, the planets Mars, and Venus and the real state of technology that we possess today at this very moment.
There are areas on the Moon where plant life grows and even changes color with the seasons. This seasonal effect is because the Moon does not, as claimed, always present the exact same side to the Earth or the Sun. There is an area that wobbles in and out of darkness on a seasonal basis and it is near this area that the plant life grows. The Moon does have a few man made lakes and ponds on its surface and clouds have been observed and filmed in its atmosphere. It possesses a gravitational field and a man can walk upon its surface without a space suit breathing from an oxygen bottle after undergoing decompression the same as any deep sea diver. I have seen the photographs and some of them were actually published in the book “We Discovered Alien Bases On the Moon” by Fred Steckling.
In 1969 a confrontation broke out betweenthe human scientists and the aliens at the Dulce underground lab. The aliens took many of our scientists hostage. Delta forces were sent in to free them but were no match againts the alien weapons. 66 of our people were killed during this action. As a result we withdrew from all joint projects for at least 2 years. A reconciliation eventually took place and once again we began to interact. Today the alliance continues.
When the Watergate scandal broke, President Nixon had intended to ride out the storm confident that he could not be impeached. MJ-12, however had a different agenda. The intelligence community rightfully concluded that an impeachment trial would open up the files and bare the awful secrets to the public eye. Nixon was ordered to resign. He refused and so the first Military coup ever to take place in the United States was promulgated. The Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a TOP SECRET message to the Commanders of all the U.S. armed forces throughout the world. It stated: “Upon receipt of this message you will no longer carry out any orders from the White House. Acknowledge receipt.” This message was sent a full 5 days before Nixon conceded and announced publicly that he would resign. I personally saw this message. When I asked my commanding officer what he would do as obviously the order violated the Constitution, I was told, “I guess I will wait and see if any orders come from the White House and then I will decide”. I did not see any communication from the White House but that does not mean that none was sent.
During all the years that this has been happening the Congress and the American people have seemed to know instinctively that something was not right. When the Watergate scandal surfaced they jumped on the bandwagon and everyone thought that the agencies would be cleaned out. President Ford organized the Rockefeller Commission to do the job. At least that is what everyone thought. His real purpose was to head off the congress and keep the cover-up going. Nelson Rockefeller who headed the commission was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and was the one who helped Eisenhower build the MJ-12 power structure. Rockefeller uncovered only enough to keep the hounds at bay. He threw the Congress a few bones and the cover-up rolled merrily along.
Later Senator Church would conduct the famous Church hearings. He also was a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations and he only repeated the Rockefeller act. Again the cover-up prevailed. When Iran-Contra came along we thought this time, it had to come gushing out. Wrong again. Despite mountains of documents that pointed to drug smuggling (Noriega-CIA connections etc.), and other hidden monsters, the cover-up sailed through. The Congress even seems to go out of its way to duck the issues that were just under the surface. Who in Congress is among the select that knows?
I cannot even begin to outline the entire financial empire controlled by the CIA, the NSA, and the Council on Foreign Relations that controls and launders the money from drugs and other intelligence community propriety ventures, but I can tell you the little that I know. (also cf current B.C.C.I. “world’s sleaziest” bank investigation whose Panama City records relating to General Noriega, the Drug Enforcement Agency conveniently lost.) The amount of money is beyond anything you can imagine and is hidden in a vast network of banks and holding companies. You should first begin to look at the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation, the Schroder Trust Company, Schroders Limited (London), Helbert Wagg Holdings Limited, J.Henry Schroder-Wagg & Co. Limited, Schroder Gerbruder and Company (Germany), Schroder Munchmeyer Hengst and Company, Castle Bank and its holding companies, the Asian Development Bank, and the Nugan Hand octopus of banks and holding companies.
A contingency plan was formulated by MJ-12 to throw everyone off the trail should they come close to the truth. The plan was known as Majestic Twelve. It was implemented with the release by Moore, Shandera, and Friedman of the purported genuine “Eisenhower Briefing Document”. The document is a fraud. The document lists the Executive Order as #092447. A number which does not exist and will not exist for quite a while at the present rate. Truman wrote Executive Orders in the 9000 range, Eisenhower wrote in the 10,000 range, Ford was up to the 11,000 bracket, and Reagan got only into the 12,000 numbers. Executive orders are numbered consecutively no matter who occupies the White House for reasons of continuity, record keeping, and to prevent confusion. The Executive Order is only 1 of several fatal flaws contained within the document. The plan so far has thrown the entire research community off the trail for several years and has resulted in the wasted expenditure of money looking for information which does not exist. It resulted in the total waste of a grant given by the Fund for UFO Research of $16000 which was given by Stanton Friedman to research the information. Many thousands of man hours have gone into looking for a “red herring’. If you doubt the secret governments ability to run you through the rose garden….think again.
Another contingency plan is in force and is working on you today. It is the plan to prepare the public for eventual confrontation with an alien race. The public is being bombarded with movies, radio, advertising, and TV depicting almost every aspect of the true nature of the alien presence. This includes the good and the bad. Look around and pay attention. The aliens are planning to make their presence known and the government is preparing you for it so that there will be no panic.
The worst contingency plan has also been implemented and is at work right now. For many years they have been importing drugs and selling them to the people and mainly the poor and the minorities. Social Welfare programs were put into place to create a dependent non-working element of our society. They then began to remove the social welfare programs in order to develop a large criminal class that did not exist in the 1950’s and early 60’s. They encouraged the manufacture and importation of deadly firearms for the criminal element to use. This was intended to foster a feeling of insecurity which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws agains firearms. Incidents were to be staged to speed up the process. By using drugs and hypnosis in a process called Orion, on mental patients the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on school yards and thus inflame the anti-gun lobby. This plan is well underway and so far is working exactly as planned. This plan must not succeed.
Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation they will convince the American people that a state of anarchy exists within major cities. They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in the newspapers. When public opinion has been won over to this idea they intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the United States and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. The government will then suspend the constitution and declare martial law. The secret alien army of implanted humans and all dissidents, which translates into anyone they choose, will be rounded up and will be placed in concentration camps which already exist throughout the country. They are each 1 mile square. Are the people they intend to place in these concentration camps destined to make up the reported “batch consignments” of slave labor needed by the Space Colonists? The media, radio, TV, newspapers and computer networks will be nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be taken or killed. This entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in 1984 under the code name REX-84 and it went off without a hitch. When these events have transpired the Secret Government and/or Alien takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never be returned and you will live in slavery for the remainder of your life. We had better wake up and we had better do it now.
Phil Klass is an agent for the CIA and this was stated in the documents which I saw between 1970 and 1973. One of his jobs as an aviation expert was to debunk everything to do with UFOs. All military commanders were instructed to call him to gain information on how to debunk and/or explain UFO contacts and/or sightings to the public and/or the press if and when the need arose.
William Moore, Jamie Shandera, and Stanton Friedman are either witting or unwitting agents of the secret government. I preferr to believe that they are unwitting, although William Moore’s reported use of a Defense Investigative Service ID card and his reported self confession to Lee Graham that he was an agent of the government makes me seriously doubt it, if the reports are true. Lee Graham called me at my home, and when asked, he confirmed that Moore had indeed done this.
Stanton Friedman has told me and many others that years ago he “helped develop a nuclear reactor, to power an aircraft, that was the size of a basketball, was clean, turned out hydrogen, and worked like a dream.” His words, not mine. The only fuel which could go into such an engine and produce hydrogen as a by-product is water and that is precisely what at least one type of alien craft runs on, nuclear energy and water. The only place in the universe at that time to get such technology was from the aliens. Is he really unwitting? I do not know. He was a member of the Moore, Shanders, and Friedman research team and it was they who implemented the MAJESTIC TWELVE contingency plan.
In the documents which I saw between 1970 and 1973 names of individuals were listed who were to be targeted for recruitment in order that the contingency plan known as Majestic Twelve could be introduced to the public by persons known and respected by the public. Bruce Macabee, Stanton Friedman, and William Moore were among those listed. I do not know if the recruitment actually took place or not. I do know that the subsequent events do not seem to indicate that Bruce Macabee is involved but the actions of Stanton Friedman and William Moore are highly suspect.
I know that all of the major UFO research organizations were targeted for infiltration and control by the secret government just as NICAP was infiltrated and controlled. I believe that these efforts have been successful. It is very possible that the major UFO publications are also controlled.
Today MJ-12 still exists and operates just as it always has. It is made up of the same structure, 6 from the same positions in government, and 6 from the Executive members of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or the Trilateral Commission. The Majority Agency for Joint Intelligence is publicly known as The Senior Interagency Group. (SIG).
In closing it is most important to understand that the Council on Foreign Relations and its offshoot the Trilateral Commission not only control but own this country. Long before World War II they were instrumental in helping to decide policy for the United States Government. Since World War II they have been the ONLY source of policy for the United States Government. The Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and their foreign counterparts report to the Bilderburgers. Almost every high level government and military official of any consequence since World War II including Presidents have been members of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or the Trilateral Commission. All American members of the Trilateral Commission has either been or is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Each foreign nation of any importance has its own offshoot of the Council on Foreign Relations and the members of each country interact with those of other countries through the Bilderburgers to further their common goals. The foreign members of the Trilateral Commission belong to their respective organizations. Even a cursory investigation by the most inexperienced researcher will show that the members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission control the major foundations, all of the major media and publishing interests, the largest banks, all the major corporations, the upper echelons of the government, and many other vital interests. Their members are elected and appointed because they have all the money and special interests behind them. All, that is except the peoples. They are undemocratic and do not in any way represent the majority of the United States of America. These are the people who will decide who survives the coming holocaust and who does not.
The Bilderburgers, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission are the SECRET GOVERNMENT and rule this nation through the MJ-12 and the study group known as the Jason Society and the top echelon of the government which consists mostly of their members.
Throughout our history the Aliens have manipulated and/or ruled the human race through various secret societies, religion, magic, witchcraft, and the occult. The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission are in complete control of the Alien technology and are also in complete control of the nations economy. Eisenhower was the last President to know the entire overview of the alien problem. Succeeding Presidents were told only what MJ-12 and the Intelligence Community wanted them to know, and believe me it was not the truth.
MJ-12 has presented each new President with a picture of a lost alien culture seeking to renew itself, build a home on this planet, and shower us with gifts of technology. In some cases the President was told nothing. Each President in turn has bought the story, or no story at all, hook, line and sinker. Meanwhile innocent people continue to suffer unspeakable horrors at the hands of alien and human scientists who are engaged in barbarous research that would make even Nazis look like Sunday School children. As if that is not enough, many people end up as food for the insatiable alien appetite for biological enzymes, glandulars, hormonal secretions, and blood. Many people are abducted and are sentenced to live with psychological and physical damage for the rest of their lives. In the documents I saw, 1 in 40 humans had been implanted with devices the purpose of which I have never discovered. The government believes that the aliens are building an army of human implants which can be activated and turned upon as at will. You should also know that to date we have not even begun to become close to parity with the aliens. Is this technology worth it?
I sent 536 copies of a “Petition to Indict” to every member of the Senate and House of Representatives on April 26, 1989. As of this date, May 23 1989, I have only received 2 replies. One reply was from Senator Daniel P. Moynihan and the other from Senator Richard G. Lugar. Both stated that they were sending my correspondance to Senator Cranston and Senator Wilson of California as a normal custom and courtesy. Both assured me that MY Senators will promptly assist me in this matter. I have yet to hear from anyone from the State of California or from any other State for that matter aside from the two mentioned above.
The conclusions are inescapable.
(1) The secret power structure believes that, because of our own ignorance or by divine degree, planet Earth will self-destruct sometime in the near future. These men sincerely believe that they are doing the right thing in their attempt to save the human race. It is terribly ironic that they have been forced to take as their partner an alien race which is itself engaged in a monumental struggle for survival. Many moral and legal compromises have been made in this joint effort. These compromises were made in error and must be corrected and those responsible should be made to account for their actions. I can understand the fear and urgency that must have been instrumental in the decision not to tell the public. Obviously I disagree with this decision. Throughout history, small but powerful groups of men have consistently felt that they alone were capable of deciding the fates of millions and throughout history they have been wrong. This great Nation owes its very existence to the Principles of Freedom and Democracy. I believe with all my heart that the United States of Amnerica cannot and will not succeed in any effort that ignores those Principles. Full disclosure to the public should be made and we should proceed to save the human race together.
(2) We are being manipulated by a joint human/alien power structure which will result in the partial enslavement of the human race. We must use every means available to prevent this from happening.
(3) The government has been totally deceived and we are being manipulated by an alien power which will result in the total enslavement and/or destruction of the human race. We must use every means available to prevent this from happening.
(4) Something else is happening which is beyond our ability to understand at this time. We must force disclosure of all the facts, discover the truth and act upon the truth.
In any case we MUST force disclosure of the truth or no matter what happens we will surely deserve it. The situation in which we find ourselves is due to our own actions or inactions over the last 44 years. It is our own fault and we are the only ones who can change it. Through ignorance or misplaced trust we as a people have abdicated our role as the watchdog of our government. Our government was founded “of the people, for the people, by the people”. There was no mention or intent to ever abdicate our role and place our total trust in a handful of men who meet secretly and decide our fate for us. In fact the structure of our government was designed to prevent that from happening. If we had done our jobs as citizens, this could never have happened. Most of us are completely ignorant of even the most basic functions of our government. We have truly become a nation of sheep. Sheep are always eventually led to slaughter. It is time to stand up in the manner of our forefathers and walk like men. I remind you all, that the JEWS OF EUROPE MARCHED OBEDIENTLY TO THE OVENS, AFTER HAVING BEEN WARNED, BELIEVING ALL THE WHILE THAT THE FACTS COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE TRUE. When the outside world was told of the holocaust occurring in Hitler’s Europe it was not believed. I state here and now that Hitler was manipulated by these same aliens.
I have brought you the truth as I know it. I do not care what you think of me. I have done my duty and no matter what fate lies in store for me, I can truly meet my maker with a clear conscience. I believe first in God. The same God my ancestors believed in. I believe in Jesus Christ and that he is my Savior. I believe second in the Constitution of the United States of America as it was written and meant to work. I have given my oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. I intend to fulfill that oath.
Thank You

HAARP and the Weather Change Agenda
March 8th, 2013A brief story on HAARP
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA).[1]
Built by BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT), its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance.[2] The HAARP program operates a major sub-arctic facility, named the HAARP Research Station, on an Air Force–owned site near Gakona, Alaska.
The most prominent instrument at the HAARP Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the Ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde, and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region.
Work on the HAARP Station began in 1993. The current working IRI was completed in 2007, and its prime contractor was BAE Systems Advanced Technologies.[1] As of 2008, HAARP had incurred around $250 million in tax-funded construction and operating costs.
HAARP has been blamed by conspiracy theorists for a range of events, including numerous natural disasters. Mainstream commentators dismiss such allegations as “uninformed”.
Bellow the leaked document.

Adios Hugo Chavez
March 6th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
Medical realities challenged support for the electoral campaign that managed to forget, in some instances, the tragic concerns that lead ultimately to his death. Hugo Chavez even said, “I am completely healthy.” But he was not! Hugo Chavez was unable to overcome from the complications brought on during his fourth unsuccessful surgery on Dec. 11 in Havana when Chavez officially lost the battle against cancer.
The President of Venezuela died in Caracas after a long convalescence, first in Cuba and then in a Venezuelan military hospital.
Vice President Nicolás Maduro has appeared in all State channels to announce Chavez’s death, which occurred at 16.25 local time. With tears in his eyes Maduro said that all the Bolivarian forces were deployed to assure the security of the country.
According to the Constitution Parliament President Diosdado Cabello should now take office, and he must call elections within a month. The Venezuelan government functioning with Nicolas Maduro as interim president has declared seven days of mourning in the country and announced that the state funeral will take place this Friday in Caracas.
Hugo Chavez died after 14 years as leader in a government absolutely focused on his persona. The voters showed their confidence again on the 7 of October by re-electing Chavez for a new six-year period, until 2019.
He once said that his dream was to lead his ‘Bolivarian revolution’ until 2031. But that will remain unfulfilled.
Shortly after returning to win the elections, and after an election campaign that was avoided at all times due to the health status of President Chavez, he was forced to announce that he needed a new operation for which he had to travel to Havana.
He had always played down his illness until the day optimism gave way to concern. For the first time the people were aware of the seriousness of his health after the revolutionary leader, with a gesture sorrow, asked his voters to support his Vice President Nicolás Maduro in the new elections.
He could not even wait to be sworn in as President for the 2013-2019 term and on December 11 in Havana was undergoing a fourth operation for cancer — a complex intervention that lasted six hours. A respiratory infection moved ever further away the possibility that Chavez could attend the takeover on January 11.
Finally, despite the protests of the opposition, it was decided that his presence was not necessary to assume the Presidency.
After two months of convalescence in Cuba, Chavez returned to Caracas and was held at the Military Hospital for further treatment. However, he never recovered from respiratory problems that were undermining his health.
The onset of disease
His vitality and frenetic activity suffered a setback in June 2011 when he underwent emergency surgery in Havana. Then they said it was for a pelvic abscess, but reality soon showed that it was cancer. Fifteen days later Chavez returned to remove a cancerous tumor in the abdomen, which the President mentioned without details concerning the depth of the disease.
Despite the fact that the state had been deteriorating throughout 2012, secrecy about the tumor was all downplayed until after the last presidential election.
After the second surgery it was said his cancer was cured, but soon President Chavez underwent chemotherapy in the Caribbean Islands. However, last February there was an operation for what he called a “recurrence” of cancer and then was treated with radiotherapy.
Three months after completion of radiation therapy, Chavez took the hard task of another election but with a campaign which limited his public appearances. He managed a victory with 55% of the votes against 44% for the opposition’s Henrique Capriles.
After being declared the winner, the President virtually disappeared from the public eye, with few television appearances, in which he admitted having addressed the campaign for reelection in poor health. Soon after the recurrence of cancer was confirmed and Chavez left the country in the hands of Nicolas Maduro.
Born in Sabaneta on July 28, 1954, he became interested in the figure of Simon Bolivar and his idea of liberating people through a revolution, when he left his hometown to start his military studies. Since then this was his model with coups and a stay in prison included. He has a legion of loyal fans who loved him and had been praying for his recovery. But also left behind is an equal amount of detractors.
Rumors that took place
Rumors of his death did not emerge as an unnoticed scandal and this week were accentuated in such a degree that the military and political leadership of the Government held an emergency meeting Tuesday to discuss these issues and make an announcement to the public. Those who have followed the case closely hoped that before Chavez death, the Vice President Nicolas Maduro would address the fact that Chavez was not fit to rule, because his condition was extremely serious. This belief was based on the words of the Minister of Communication, Ernesto Villegas, who confirmed Monday night by stating, “Chavez is in delicate state.”
But instead,with a combative tone, Maduro was devoted to conspiracy theories and pointed to the culprit of the illness. He pointed to “the enemies of imperialism” as the cause of cancer. A strange appearance of attacks that focused on the “extreme right” and “traitors of the fatherland” and in which only his last minutes hinted bad omens. On December 11 Maduro announce that a newer statement confirming Chavez’s death would follow hours later.
And at 2.45 PM (Caracas time) it was confirmed in the news. With different expressions than he showed just four hours before his death, Nicolás Maduro, Chavez successor appeared in all networks to announce the death of the commander. “Hugo Chavez, who raised the banner of socialism, died today at 16.25 local time, after almost two years of fighting cancer in the abdominal area.”
In an effort to justify his previous appearance in which he said nothing about the possibility of imminent death, Maduro said that after a meeting in the morning with the political and military high command of the country he went to the Military Hospital in Caracas “to follow his health”. He was then informed of the situation and was given the “hard and tragic information that we convey to our people.”
Chavez died due to complications during postoperative therapy for cancer surgery which he underwent in Cuba on December 11, which was the fourth since he was diagnosed in June 2011.
“Her mother, Elena, his father, Don Hugo de los Reyes, brothers, daughters, grandchildren, and all our people we convey our sorrow and our solidarity,” he said.
“In this immense pain of this historic tragedy that touches our country today we call our fellow men and women of all ages to be caretakers of peace,” said Maduro.
When and where?
However, information on the health of Chavez have been widely criticized by the public and the opposition, who have repeatedly accused the government of hiding information. The rare announcement of the death in two very different phases does not seem to help dispel the doubts.
In fact, several voices said the President died in Havana, although Maduro says it happened in the Venezuelan military hospital in Caracas.
After the death of Chavez they called for new elections. According to the Constitution the President of the National Assembly (Congress), Dios Dado Cabello, must assume power until new elections are convened within a month.
The Franco Paradox
March 2nd, 2013Francisco Franco was born December 1892 and died the 20 November 1975. He was a Spanish military leader and statesman who ruled as the dictator of Spain from 1936 until his death. He came to power during the Spanish Civil War while serving as the Generalissimo of the Nationalist faction. Franco led the Nationalists to victory in the civil war and went on to become the longest ruling dictator in European history.
Franco, better known as the Spanish “Caudillo” had a legacy leftist claim to had led to tyranny, oppression, persecution and cruelty. He killed independent-regionalist in Catalunya and in the Basque Country, and did not allowed terrorism to flourish by using undemocratic catholic justice. However, it later became visible after his death that the rise of independents like ETA ( Spanish terrorist faction), breathed new life and used democracy as a scapegoat to regain momentum during Spain’s brittle transition.
Franco’s past reign, is till a paradoxical question critics debate today. Despite being a dictator, the Spanish economy floured during his regime as he increased the Spanish GDP growth as not seen before, even adjusted to inflation compared to Spain’s peak growth before the 2010 global burst. He was hard with criminals and with those who questioned his authority, but under the catholic church he constructed a Spain which the baby boomer generation will remember as a savior.
Should had Spain, during the civil war been taken by the Reds (communist party) Spain might have looked very different than it looks today. Would a Spain ruled by communist/anarchist become the democratic/plural state it presently entitles? So it might not be appropriate for those who condemn Franco, to ‘just’ label him as a tyrannical dictator, considering that the plausible alternative would had resulted into a communist system.
Should Franco be considered as the hero who rebuilt Spain from poverty? and prevented communism, Spain’s involvement in WW3, and Jews from being sent to concentration camps during Hitler’s persecution?
The question is up to the reader to decide. Could a dictator be also a national savior by undermining rights to transform a countries prosperity?
Whatever happened with The Congo
February 25th, 2013A report conducted a decade ago, about transnational corporations taking control of natural resources inside the troublesome area of the Congo. Should this story still be considered a major issue in western journalism? What ever happen to the Congo?

Western multinational corporations’ attempts to cash in on the wealth of Congo’s resources have resulted in what many have called “Africa’s first world war,” claiming the lives of over 3 million people. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been labeled “the richest patch of earth on the planet.” The valuable abundance of minerals and resources in the DRC has made it the target of attacks from U.S.-supported neighboring African countries Uganda and Rwanda.
The DRC is minerial rich with millions of tons of diamonds, copper, cobalt, zinc, manganese, uranium, niobium, and tantalum also known as coltan. Coltan has become an increasingly valuable resource to American corporations. Coltan is used to make mobile phones, night vision goggles, fiber optics, and capacitators used to maintain the electrical charge in computer chips. In December of 2000 the shortage of coltan was the main reason that the popular sale of the Sony Play Station 2 video game came to an abrupt halt.
The DRC holds 80% of the world’s coltan reserves, more than 60% of the world’s cobalt and is the world’s largest supplier of high-grade copper. With these minerals playing a major part in maintaining US military dominance and economic growth, minerals in the Congo are deemed vital US interests.
Historically, the U.S. government identified sources of materials in Third World countries, and then encouraged U.S. corporations to invest in and facilitate their production. Dating back to the mid-1960s, the U.S. government literally installed the dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, which gave U.S. corporations access to the Congo’s minerals for more than 30 years. However, over the years Mobutu began to limit access by Western corporations, and to control the distribution of resources. In 1998, U.S. military-trained leaders of Rwanda and Uganda invaded the mineral-rich areas of the Congo. The invaders installed illegal colonial-style governments which continue to receive millions of dollars in arms and military training from the United States. Our government and a $5 million Citibank loan maintains the rebel presence in the Congo. Their control of mineral rich areas allows western corporations, such as American Mineral Fields, to illegally mine. Rwandan and Ugandan control over this area is beneficial for both governments and for the corporations that continue to exploit the Congo’s natural wealth.
American Mineral Fields (AMF) landed exclusive exploration rights to an estimated 1.4 million tons of copper and 270,000 tons of cobalt. San Francisco based engineering firm Bechtel Inc. established strong ties in the rebel zones as well. Bechtel drew up an inventory of the Congo’s mineral resources free of charge, and also paid for NASA satellite studies of the country for infared maps of its minerals. Bechtel estimates that the DRC’s mineral ores alone are worth $157 billion dollars. Through coltan production, the Rwandans and their allies are bringing in $20 million revenue a month. Rwanda’s diamond exports went from 166 carats in 1998 to 30,500 in 2000. Uganda’s diamond exports jumped from approximately 1,500 carats to about 11,300. The final destination for many of these minerals is the U.S.
UPDATE BY AUTHOR DENA MONTAGUE: Nearly four million people dead in four years of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the world remains silent in the face of an abominable atrocity. The war in the DRC is not only significant because of its infamous status as the world’s deadliest war; but also because of the active participation of an international contingent of multinational corporations, terrorist networks, arms brokers, and governments all clamoring for the legendary wealth of the Congo while exacerbating the war.
Ugandan and Rwandan backed rebels and the Congolese central government met for nine weeks beginning in March 2002 in Sun City, South Africa to negotiate aspects of the Inter-Congolese dialogue as a part of the Lusaka Peace Accords. In a significant development emerging from the Dialogue – Jean Pierre Bemba, a known Mobutuist and leader of Uganda sponsored rebel party, Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), has been appointed Prime Minister of the DRC in a power sharing agreement strongly encouraged by western governments. Rather than being held accountable by the international community for war crimes committed against Congolese civilians and the massive exploitation of Congolese natural resources detailed by the UN during the four-year war, Bemba, a multimillionaire will be leading the country he helped decimate.
In response to its isolation from the power sharing agreement, Rwandan backed RCD has formed an alliance with veteran Congolese opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi. Rwanda has not ceased discussions of an enduring armed partition of the DRC, of which it remains in control of approximately one third of the country. The power sharing agreement emerging from Sun City has effectively marginalized civil society groups who have been organizing peacefully for democracy, and instead rewards armed struggle in the country. Meanwhile, Rwanda and Uganda continue to attract international investors as well as military assistance from the U.S. and others. Thousands of Rwandan troops are currently engaged fighting in the eastern region of the country at the continued expense of civilian lives.
The war in the DRC is layered in such a way that it appears as a wartime telenovella. Its complexity tends to distract the layman observer from the fundamental facts. This war is yet another stage in international efforts to control the wealth of the Congo-a story that dates back to the 19th century.
The only major U.S. media response to the war in the DRC has been a weeklong Nightline report, “The Heart of Darkness” that was originally scheduled to air the week of September 11th and was postponed until February. Although the Nightline special was significant in drawing attention to the neglected story and the unbearable suffering of the Congolese people, it did little to explain the root causes of the war. Other than the Nightline report, only an occasional story on the fledgling peace process appears in major newspapers.
There are few outlets that give a comprehensive account of the war. International Crisis Group has published a series of in-depth reports about the conflict. http://www.intl-crisis-group.org/
Occasionally the Washington Post covers the DRC. Reporter Karl Vick was one of the first to uncover the story of coltan mining. http://www.allafrica.com/ compiles daily reports on the DRC. Other magazines that are less accessible frequently cover the war – New African Magazine and Africa Confidential.

Pakistan’s Backstabbing Friendship
February 25th, 2013Pakistan over and over again, has been blamed for supporting Afghan Taliban fighters. The Central Intelligence Agency, is also pointed that the Haqqani Network, the Taliban’s most extreme terrorist wing, is made central Pakistan a safe haven for newer recruits. The Pakistani Government has roundly denied such accusations. But concerns emerged with irrefutable evidence , after the U.S. Defense Department claimed to conduct a raid, by the name Operation Geronimo which successfully killed Osama Bin Laden last year. As discomfort grew among Pakistan’s allies, in how could Bin Laden (the worlds most famous terrorist) could had possibly lived under the nose of the Pakistani government without surveillance, is questioned.
Pakistan’s role in protecting terrorist organizations, is growing in dispute among United Nation members, as the Pakistani, Intra-Services Intelligence might be training Al-Qaeda fighters and Afghan Taliban’s to defeat coalition forces in Northern Afghanistan. One of the hidden causes I.S.I. might work alongside the Taliban, is too protect their national interest from western affiliations and to keep India, their arch-rival in check. Another reasons the U.S. and NATO have thus far avoided direct retaliation with Pakistan, is because its one of the fastest developers of nuclear weapons, in the world. The questions continues….
An Investment Giant Or a Future Menace?
February 20th, 2013
Not long ago, Lanny Breuer, the head of the Criminal Division, step down after four years of serving the Justice Department. He will officially leave March, first. In PBS Frontline show “The Untouchables” he is quoted as saying the following.
“To be clear, the decision of whether to indict a corporation, defer prosecution, or decline altogether is not one that I, or anyone in the Criminal Division, take lightly. We are frequently on the receiving end of presentations from defense counsel, CEOs, and economists who argue that the collateral consequences of an indictment would be devastating for their client. In my conference room, over the years,
I have heard sober predictions that a company or bank might fail if we indict, that innocent employees could lose their jobs, that entire industries may be affected, and even that global markets will feel the effects.…
In reaching every charging decision, we must take into account the effect of an indictment on innocent employees and shareholders, just as we must take into account the nature of the crimes committed and the pervasiveness of the misconduct.
I personally feel that it’s my duty to consider whether individual employees with no responsibility for, or knowledge of, misconduct committed by others in the same company are going to lose their livelihood if we indict the corporation.”
It sure seems like private banks in Wall Street are ‘too big to fail’
But another sort of super wealthy institutions from a different pedigree than banking, have risen lately, and now, even challenge the ‘Untouchable Banks.’Private investors like BlackRock, Fidelity, Vanguard, and State Street are somehow a threat, that don’t ‘break bread’ with banks or sit at their round tables.
The investment corporations, Offers mutual funds, closed-end funds, managed accounts and alternative investments to individuals, institutions and financial professionals. They’re only getting bigger….and BlackRock manages the portfolios of the Government! (Not sure about the other three investment corps)
Lately BlackRock, tired of Wall Street has decided to create the ‘Aladdin Trading Network’ an alternative bond market. BlackRock executives contend that the platform is aimed at lowering costs and plugging a gap in Wall Street’s diminished ability to provide market liquidity, not at competing with investment banks.
The point is, investment corporations are extremely powerful and scary.
Is it possible that Investment corporations like BlackRock could eventually become so powerful that:
2) Be above federal law and international law and avoid persecution? as Breuer said “ I have heard sober predictions that a company or bank might fail if we indict, that innocent employees could lose their jobs, that entire industries may be affected, and even that global markets will feel the effects.… “
3) Make decisions that would legally bypass the need for new bills to be signed by legislature and ‘call the shots’ with the government’s permission, when dealing with foreign and national trade …without absolutely no constitutional rights?

“This is a mind boggling dilemma American has created for itself. From convincing citizens that the “american dream” is to own a house mortgage and property (which is bunk) to buying apartments with mortgages and maintenance agreements created by greedy little people who would normally never have that much clout outside their small perimeters. Someone forgot to tell the homeowners that property taxes will go sky high and that even if you have no kids you will have to pay for them and pick up the slack for others who are NOT paying.
That aside Investment companies are not investing in America and our money is being printed with zero backup. We used to have a gold collateral but not now. Now we owe countries like Pakistan and China and India trillions of dollars and we re pay them by allowing their exports and imports into America. All of these countries have taken over our products and no longer do we see “MADE IN AMERICA” on a label today.
In answer to your questions I don’t believe that Investment companies will take over the banks because the banks are still too strong and the banks have investment arms in their corporations that will do the dirty work that companies like Fidelity and Blackrock are doing. Our government is not investing in it’s people, in its products and quite frankly it is bringing down America to a point where we are not going to be the most powerful hen in the coop.
Banks and Investment companies are corrupt and they will have their downfalls regardless of whether their employees lose their jobs or not. Big business are in bed with Banks and banks are in bed with lobbyists and Investment companies are outside this intimate triangle. Banks have been here for 3 centuries and will continue to do business until the people of the world get rid of them. But again, no one is above the law and the law should and does cover everyone because in America the system of checks and balances still works and is used traditionally.”

“The idea of a ‘too big to fail’ bank or institution came about during the Global Financial crisis in 2008 with the bailout of Lehman Brothers, AIG and the large auto makers.
There are two repercussions from the failure of these institutions:
i. a circumscribed effect of immediate job losses and financial losses to stakeholders
ii. and a more extensive impact on the inter-connected world economy and trade
I will focus on the 2nd aspect. Post the crisis, there have been financial reforms primarily targeted at the over the counter derivatives markets. This according to the Bank of International Settlements is of the order of $1500 trillion – some 20X more than the actual world economy. A collapse in this generally opaque market has repercussion through the networked economies affecting world trade.
For this reason, there are generally two broad counter measures. The first is the congregation of OTC trades to central clearing parties. This helps to create transparency and contain the repercussions from a collapse of any too-big-to-fail institution. The second is the use of collateral amongst trading members. These collaterals are generally investment grade sovereign bonds, which shift the onus from the institutions to the sovereigns.
These measures cannot be belittled and can potentially nullify the threat from collapse of the ‘the too-big-to fail’ institutions.”
Claude Nougat
“Mutual funds, corporations like BlackRock and others, have long operated outside of the borders of national governments, the US included. They operate out of London, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Frankfurt,Luxemburg and many so called “tax havens”, whatever, you name it.
Wall Street is only one of the many places. Since they’re outside national borders, they are nimble, they move fast, left and right, back and forth, hopping from one place to the next, in short they are able to and will duck any attempts to regulate them.”
3) (Make decisions that would legally bypass the need for new bills to be signed by legislature and ‘call the shots’ with the government’s permission, when dealing with foreign and national trade …without absolutely no constitutional rights?)

“In ‘the wake of the financial crisis and the bailout, Congress created a new body–the Financial Stability Oversight Council–to keep an eye on firms that pose a systemic risk. As part of this process, we think the Council should take a close look at BlackRock and other large non-bank financial institutions.
In our 2009 letter, we raised concerns that the government wasn’t doing enough to protect taxpayers from potential conflicts of interest when it hired BlackRock and other companies, “many of which have a direct financial interest in the same types of toxic assets that they are managing and valuating for the government.”
Jaime Ortega
“As a professor taught me, “Economics are laws, affected by casual laws”
Even though banks ‘look’ stronger than ever, it doesn’t mean anything. Banks are still fragile and the fact government had to intervene to rescue them during the bailout shows their relative strenght . People forget banks don’t have money, they borrow it from other banks. That’s not necessarily the case with BlackRock and other investment firms.
There was an article in Forbes back in 2011, about BlackRock going after JPMorgan Chase & Co. over $95 billion of morgage-backed securities, and according to the article it was the first time the big investor group was identified as targeting a $8.5 billion settlements with Bank Of America. Its was supposed to be the biggest legal settlement in Wall Street History.
BlackRock had no debt during the credit bubble years, and was able to buy assets from reluctant sellers, including Merrill Lynch and Barclays. BlackRock, which manages about $3.7 trillion, is unique among money managers in having equally big businesses devoted to passive and active strategies. BlackRock’s iShares manages about $759 billion in ETPs and offers about 600 funds. The firm had about $942 billion in active stock and bond strategies, and $113 billion in alternatives as of Sept. 30.
Since 2008, BlackRock unlike Wall Street banks, is emerged from the financial crisis with its reputation enhanced and its business strengthened without any federal help. And unlike many Wall Street executives, who in recent years have endured Congressional grillings, regulations, and government investigations, Mr Fink (the president) has had good relations with the Obama administration. What those “good” relations stand for, is up in the sky!
Lanny Breuer, showed the world how ‘too big to fail’ institutions can dodge prosecution from the Criminal Division. A few years back, Obama showed behind close doors during his meeting with top bank CEO’s, how not to sanction banks with regulations when justice is most needed. Henry Paulson, former Secretary of Treasure, also proved that the best way to negotiate with banks during corruption and fraud, is to enhance banks with more liquidity by providing free tax payer money… and no doubt will the government give BlackRock free ‘hors d’oeuvre’ when they break the law.
Paul Shea a financial expert from ValueWalk posed the question of too big to fail with yet another question,‘But what about BlackRock? The company is bigger than any other, if it began to act recklessly, very bad things could happen to the world economy. If a firm can be so big that it would be impossible to allow it to fail, should there be a legal limit on the size a firm can be, to avoid such a situation from occurring?”
BlackRock manages government agencies portfolios, and as larry Fink said, “”We can compete with any private equity firm. We offer the same economics and the best information flow,” I don’t think he is exaggerating. The Aladdin Trading Network is a direct nuclear face-palm to banks, and they’re not afraid to challenge anyone inside the bond market.
Moody’s Investors Service wrote that BlackRock’s platform “is credit negative for banks with global capital market operations as it has the potential to reduce their trading revenues.”
BlackRock does not thrive in the same financial ecosystem Wall Street banks flourish, they keep buying overseas companies and planning risks managements for separate governments. I think a reason why they could outlaw anyone is simply because they manage the governments portfolios and help strategize solutions to foment growth in different markets. No bank has the ability to strategize government risks like BlackRock, in fact, I don’t think people, investors, and global governments have recovered from fully entrusting bank policies after the recession, much less for banks to manage their risks!
If they keep growing without regulations, they’re going to grow with an unimaginable scale never seen before. If Banks slip into another ‘likely’ crisis, BlackRock will buy their shares and own them. In my opinion, they already “edge” most banks in the equity market (not the top dogs yet) and they’ll keep growing larger and larger, and could prove dangerous for legal and too big to fail reasons. ”
Russian Meteorite Close Call New Footage
February 16th, 2013By Jaime Ortega.
A meteor blast destroyed hundreds of windows and other property thanks to the massive sound wave produced by the comet that impacted in the atmosphere close to Russia. Reports in Russia count for over one thousand reports of injuries, but no deaths. The explosion itself was produced at a distance of one hundred and twenty two miles above the atmosphere, and scientist are studying the asteroids route to prevent other flying objects to impact the earth in the near future. The blast energy was equal to that of a nuclear explosion as the asteroid surpassed the speed of sound. Bellow, some of the footage shown by Russian citizens whom recorded the sound blast and the meteorites flashing path.
RussiaToday uploaded security camera footage of the explosions. In one particularly dramatic clip, a man and a woman chat in an office when suddenly the window explodes in a flash of white light.
