The Beginnings of World War 3?? (Israeli Submarine Crosses Suez Canal Possibly Heading Toward Iran)

I hope this Israeli submarine is only being sent out for training exercises and not for something more.

An Israeli submarine crossed through the Suez Canal last month as a part of a military training exercise, defense officials said on Saturday.

The move is believed to have been made as a warning to Iran of the Jewish state's capabilities...

The submarine would be able to reach the Persian Gulf & Iran within a few days instead of the weeks it would take going around Africa, so Remixx World will be following this story to see if anything develops.

Happy Independence Day, America! (Let's Hope It Doesn't Come To This...)

As we (United States of America) celebrate the 233rd anniversary of our Declaration of Independence from the British crown back in 1776, it is important for this country to remember the ideals and principles upon which it was founded. Over the last year, we have seen actions from our government that do not represent the America I was taught about in schools and in the history books. That America was proud and although it was not perfect it helped usher in a new industrial age upon which the world population advanced to new levels of progress.

Now America is a bully both abroad and to its own people. The government spies on its citizens and does not apologize. Grandmothers are tasered on our highways. Foster children are continually abused by a corrupt system. People are forcibly injected with experimental cancer-causing vaccines. Billions are spent on endless wars. Foreign bankers loot trillions from our children and grandchildren without any accountability. The police is being militarized. Major American corporations are bankrupted and sold to offshore interests. Climate bills designed to increase taxes and profits for the banks are passed in Congress without debate. And the U.S. military is discussing plans to operate domestically in violation of Posse Comitatus. See these previous blog stories about the Posse Comitatus and the military operating in California and in Arizona.

Hopefully, I am just being paranoid, but it certainly feels like a "change" is a coming. I just pray and hope that it is a positive change and not a negative one. However, all signs seem to point to the latter unless the people wake up to what is truly happening and that America needs to return to the principles upon which it was founded.

North Korea Reportedly Fires Scud Missiles on America's Independence Day!

We knew it was coming, but nevertheless, North Korea wishes the USA a Happy 4th of July by test firing some missiles in its arsenal. Hopefully, this test does not escalate the world's current political tension.

North Korea fired five short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan, South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

Is the State of California Violating Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution With Its I.O.U.s?

Everyone knows that California is broke as a joke. There is just no money in the State and we now have to give out I.O.U.'s. Really? Yes, really! It is quite unfortunate that the "Golden State" now has no credit or money left.

With budget negotiations stalled, a cash crisis looming and its fiscal crisis deepening, California today will begin issuing IOUs - formally called registered warrants - to tens of thousands of businesses and individuals to whom the state owes money.

Now to the point of this blog article. The U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 10 states as follows:

Section 10. No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.

I will research this topic the next time I am at the law library, because I need to know what it specifically means by "emit bills of credit." A quick internet search reveals that it has been interpreted to mean the States cannot issue their own paper currency. However unless a Court has ruled directly on the matter, these I.O.U.s could be alleged to be a bill of credit emitted by the State of California.

Are these I.O.U.s considered paper currency or "bills of credit," because if so, then that means the State of California will be violating the U.S. Constitution? I would argue that I.O.U.s are bills of credit at a minimum. It will be interesting to see if anyone pursues an action against the State of California for these I.O.U.s.

Thousands of Australian Bank Customers Affected By Cyberattack!

I'm going to be keeping my eye on this story from Australia where people cannot access their accounts due to a cyberattack to see if it spreads to other regions and zones of the world. How can the powers-that-be not trace the source of the attacks? There should not be many computing centers in the world that can produce the sophisticated denial-of-service attacks needed to affect a banking computer system.

Commonwealth Bank says it still cannot pinpoint the source of a presumed cyber attack blamed for preventing customers from accessing their online accounts, highlighting a security risk expected to become more common in coming years.

Thousands of Commonwealth Bank's 2.5 million NetBank customers continue to be prevented from viewing accounts and carrying out transactions today, nearly a week after the bank was target of what it says was probably a denial-of-service attack by hackers.

President Obama's Cabinet To Convene H1N1 Swine Flu Summit Next Week!

I guess we will be seeing something deadly in connection with this H1N1 swine flu later this year, because we are making soooooo many preparations for this "deadly" swine flu virus -- a virus that has killed less than fifty (50) people. Nevertheless, the White House is convening a swine flu summit next week (week of July 6, 2009).

What are the Vegas odds that whatever comes out of this summit will include lots and lots of vaccines for everyone in the general public? Are you ready for your shot?

CNN has learned that the Obama administration is planning to convene a "flu summit" next week to make preparations for the fall, as officials in Argentina declare a health emergency because 35 people have died in the Latin American nation from swine flu.

DUMBEST STATEMENT EVER - Ex CIA Agent Michael Scheuer Says Bin Laden Detonating a Major Weapon is the Only Chance for America as a Country!

Why in the world would anyone with a sane mind EVER promote the detonation of a major weapon as a means to unite a country? A statement like that is stupid and perhaps even criminal or "terroristic!" I guess Mr. Michael F. Scheuer wants a major weapon to be detonated somewhere in the country. Otherwise, there is no chance for this country. Ridiculous!

Imagine if he's talking about your city, your family, your hometown, your favorite beach, your favorite lake, your favorite hunting spot, et cetera.

Former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Kidnapped and Jailed By Israeli Occupation Forces!

Please see the below press release from Freegaza.org. It is outrageous that a former member of the U.S. Congress, Cynthia McKinney, has been kidnapped by a foreign military and President Obama is not saying anything about it! This matter needs to be addressed ASAP.

[23 miles off the coast of Gaza, 15:30pm] - Today Israeli Occupation Forces attacked and boarded the Free Gaza Movement boat, the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, abducting 21 human rights workers from 11 countries, including Noble laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (see below for a complete list of passengers). The passengers and crew are being forcibly dragged toward Israel.

"This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip," said Cynthia McKinney, a former U.S. Congresswoman and presidential candidate. "President Obama just told Israel to let in humanitarian and reconstruction supplies, and that's exactly what we tried to do. We're asking the international community to demand our release so we can resume our journey."

According to an International Committee of the Red Cross report released yesterday, the Palestinians living in Gaza are "trapped in despair." Thousands of Gazans whose homes were destroyed earlier during Israel's December/January massacre are still without shelter despite pledges of almost $4.5 billion in aid, because Israel refuses to allow cement and other building material into the Gaza Strip. The report also notes that hospitals are struggling to meet the needs of their patients due to Israel's disruption of medical supplies.

"The aid we were carrying is a symbol of hope for the people of Gaza, hope that the sea route would open for them, and they would be able to transport their own materials to begin to reconstruct the schools, hospitals and thousands of homes destroyed during the onslaught of "Cast Lead". Our mission is a gesture to the people of Gaza that we stand by them and that they are not alone" said fellow passenger Mairead Maguire, winner of a Noble Peace Prize for her work in Northern Ireland.

Just before being kidnapped by Israel, Huwaida Arraf, Free Gaza Movement chairperson and delegation co-coordinator on this voyage, stated that: "No one could possibly believe that our small boat constitutes any sort of threat to Israel. We carry medical and reconstruction supplies, and children's toys. Our passengers include a Nobel peace prize laureate and a former U.S. congressperson. Our boat was searched and received a security clearance by Cypriot Port Authorities before we departed, and at no time did we ever approach Israeli waters."

Arraf continued, "Israel's deliberate and premeditated attack on our unarmed boat is a clear violation of international law and we demand our immediate and unconditional release."

Pat Buchanan Says Climate Bill is a Hoax and Scam Designed to Transfer Wealth and Power from Private Sector to Government Sector (MSNBC).

I think Pat says everything in the below video better than I ever could. He makes several great points:

1. Global warming is a hoax;

2. The climate bill which passed the House last week is a scam to transfer wealth and power from the private to government sectors;

3. The U.S. will soon transfer its wealth to a world government;

4. The interviewer Alex Witt definitely was not expecting Buchanan's response. She does the weekend morning news on MSNBC and the weekend shows seem to be a little looser and freer than what you typically see during the week.

Ex-Con & Consultant Larry Levine Calls Bernie Madoff an Economic Terrorist and Hopes Madoff Rots in Hell.

Man, this interview with white collar criminal consultant Larry Levine is good. If an ex-con does not like you, then you must be some piece of work. Hello, Mr. Bernie Madoff! You definitely get what you deserve. I hope your associates and co-conspirators are also brought to justice!

Levine: Well, he was in a detention center. … He’s had a little taste of custody, but now he’s going to be living in a cell, which is going to be his permanent home and this man who lived in a penthouse for years is going to be living basically out of a two-foot by four-foot wall locker. That’s where all of his personal items are going to be stored and he’s going to be subject to being counted several times a day, possibly strip-searched. He’s not going to have any privacy, and he’s probably going to be terrified for his life because people are going to want to get to him.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Have Awakened, Believe 9/11 Was Inside Job! (Interview with Alex Jones on June 30, 2009)

I followed the celebrity blogs religiously for years and two of my favorite people to hate were Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (aka "Speidi") from MTV's "The Hills." They were the definition to me of the empty celebrity. Today, due to current world events, I do not follow the blogs as much as I did in previous years. Therefore, I had no idea what Pratt and Montag were up to until they appeared on "The Alex Jones Show" today.

And you know what? Their knowledge about the true world events was quite impressive and they were able to discuss a wide range of topics that most "educated" people cannot discuss. Welcome to the fold!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN ALEX'S JONES INTERVIEW WITH SPENCER PRATT & HEIDI MONTAG

One of the more interesting parts is when Spencer admits to Alex Jones that Spencer believes 9/11 was an inside job.

Alex Jones - ..You guys talk about whatever you wanna discuss.. 9/11 inside job?

Spencer Pratt - 9/11 is.. I can't believe I didn't know about WTC 7 [a/k/a Building 7] until your film.. talking about specifics of taking down WTC 7

Alex Jones - Joined ranks of Charlie Sheen, Jesse Ventura, Willie Nelson.. etc.. first time you've spoken about 9/11 in a media venue?

Spencer Pratt - That's how the media is, you're the first person who's even asked me about 9/11.. such a big thing in American history.. let's not even investigate.

Alex Jones - You guys really know your stuff, you've done your research, you have courage.. i appreciate sharing your voyage, your awakening with us.. it just gets deeper.

They even mentioned getting Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus to wake up.

Alex Jones - Specifically w/ Miley Cyrus.. one of you was texting her.. she asked what is Infowars, just from that thousands of Twitters and e-mails, new listeners and young people, trying to figure out what's going on.. valuable to see this happen, hope you and others can reach out and explain to Cyrus she's being used by globalists re: cyber-bullying act..don't think she wants to be known as the person who helped killed America.

Heidi Montag - She's a great girl, she had no idea.. very hard to find out about you [The Alex Jones Show & Infowars] because they keep this all hidden and secretive, know truth is a weapon.. we wanna make everyone aware of what's going on before it's too late.. i saw what you said about bullying act, that's robbing everyone of freedom of speech.. it's sad that it's gotten this far.

Alex Jones - We're not saying [Miley] Cyrus is bad.. she's being used

Heidi Montag - I agree, none of us knew.. she showed interest and is making a huge difference to little girls.. I wanna talk to her about cyber-bulling issue..

Wow, this information war is certainly getting interesting and strange.

Video of a FEMA Mass Evacuation Bus (Brunswick County Emergency Medical Services)?

Notice how there are no windows on this bus. Will we be seeing these buses if/when the H1N1 "swine" flu virus goes deadly?

UPDATE! A poster on YouTube named MusicMedic5150 had the following to say about the bus:

Okay. I work for Brunswick County EMS. We obtained this bus with the aid of a grant. We will be using this for evacuations of nursing homes, schools, etc during hurricanes and other disasters. No men in black driving that bus guys. Its a valuable tool that hopefully we will never need to use.

Wesley Snipes Gets Oral Argument in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for His Tax Conviction

In case you missed it, Wesley Snipes has been fighting the IRS over the last few years. While he has scored several victories, he has also suffered a few defeats. For his efforts nonetheless, I give him mad props. Now Simon Phoenix has scored another victory in his legal fight against the Internal Revenue Service.

Why does this whole fact pattern seem like one of Wesley's movies? Action-star fights a superpower government funded by an alleged, illegal tax scheme.

Also anytime Wesley appears in Court, I will always remember his famous "Mizzzzzz Hawkins" speech in "New Jack City" as Nino Brown (See below).

Actor Wesley Snipes has been granted oral argument in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Snipes was convicted of misdemeanor tax counts and found not guilty of other conspiracy and tax fraud counts following a jury trial (see here).
