Make Mine Freedom (1948 Cartoon About Capitalism vs. Communism)

I just came across this cartoon video while checking out Whatreallyhappened.com. I love it in this video when Joe Q. Public makes the farmer, politician, worker and banker taste the Ism Tonic before agreeing to the Confidence Man's sales pitch. Considering how much the State and government currently controls or heavily regulates every aspect of industry, this film is quite accurate about the effects of all the -ISMs on American society.

Farming Companies Are Not Happy About Michelle Obama's Organic Garden!

Michelle Obama knows that the foods produced from a conventional garden (i.e., sprayed with chemicals and using GMO seeds) are harmful to you, so that's why her garden is organic. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if Michelle changes her stance and has a conventional garden section for PR purposes. If too many Americans realize that the conventional foods are slowly poisoning them, then they will demand organic, natural foods. You can read the rest of this story here.

Michelle Obama's decision to make her new White House vegetable garden entirely organic has angered America's powerful agribusiness lobby who are urging the First Lady to consider the use of appropriate "crop protection products."

Has the Predicted Bird Flu or Other Pandemic Already Started? (Hundreds Infected in Mexico with Severe Respiratory Illness)

I read a lot of different sites and message boards about possible global pandemics. Over on the Prison Planet forums, there has been a discussion about how the powers-that-be were going to stage a false flag Internet shutdown in connection with a mass pandemic or scare. From that scare, the government would impose martial law and people would be mass vaccinated or eliminated. You can read that discussion here at Prison Planet.

Swine Flu in Texas

Swine Flu in California

Canadian Travel Advisory

Canadians who have recently returned from Mexico should be on alert for flu-like symptoms that could be connected to a severe respiratory illness, federal health officials said Thursday in issuing a travel advisory.

A severe respiratory illness appears to have infected 137 people in south and central areas of Mexico, with cases concentrated in Mexico City and three other areas, including 20 deaths, the Public Health Agency of Canada said.

In the United States, health officials in Texas and California were scrambling this week to deal with a new strain of swine flu, which has been diagnosed in seven people.

FEMA Prepares for National Terrorist Exercise Game to Scare People and Test Preparedness (NLE 09)

In the past, bad events have happened in connection with war games, simulated exercises and drills. There were at least two such exercises being conducted on 9/11 and these exercises resulted in our defenses being compromised. Similarly with the 7/7 bombers in London, there was a drill being conducted that was quite similar to the "actual" events which occurred. FEMA has an upcoming exercise July 27 through July 31, 2009 that will be conducted on a worldwide scale. I cannot see a good reason for this type of exercise, because it is very likely that it could be transformed from an exercise to a real event with nothing but a simple command.

http://www.fema.gov/media/fact_sheets/nle09.shtm

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.

NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises. The NEP was established to provide the U.S. government, at all levels, exercise opportunities to prepare for catastrophic crises ranging from terrorism to natural disasters.

NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.

EXERCISE FOCUS

NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.

The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a notional (sp) terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.

NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities.

NLE 09 will be an operations-based exercise to include: activities taking place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and potential field locations to include federal headquarters facilities in the Washington D.C. area, and in federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector facilities in FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

EXERCISE OBJECTIVES

Through a comprehensive evaluation process, the exercise will assess prevention and protection capabilities both nationally and regionally. Although NLE 09 is still in the planning stages, the exercise is currently designed to validate the following capabilities:

Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination
Counter-Terrorism Investigation and Law Enforcement
Air, Border and Maritime Security
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Public and Private Sector Alert/Notification and Security Advisories
International Coordination
VALIDATING THE HOMELAND SECURITY SYSTEM

Exercises such as NLE 09 are an important component of national preparedness, helping to build an integrated federal, state, tribal, local and private sector capability to prevent terrorist attacks, and rapidly and effectively respond to, and recover from, any terrorist attack or major disaster that occurs.

The full-scale exercise offers agencies and jurisdictions a way to test their plans and skills in a real-time, realistic environment and to gain the in-depth knowledge that only experience can provide. Participants will exercise prevention and information sharing functions that are critical to preventing terrorist attacks. Lessons learned from the exercise will provide valuable insights to guide future planning for securing the nation against terrorist attacks, disasters, and other emergencies.

For more information about NLE 09, contact the FEMA News Desk: 202-646-4600.

FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters.

Israel stands ready to bomb Iran's nuclear sites (World War 3?)

I certainly hope that another war doesn't break out, because this one will be nasty. Israel vs. Iran will draw the rest of the world into its crosshairs.

The Israeli military is preparing itself to launch a massive aerial assault on Iran's nuclear facilities within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government.

The State of Montana Says Yes to 2nd Amendment and No to Federal Gun Regulation (Montana Firearms Freedom Act Passes!)

Thank you Montana! The Montana Firearms Freedom Act passed and has been signed by the Governor. We need more States to pass this legislation. Every State legislator should introduce similar laws in their respective States. This is destined for a Supreme Court challenge, so we need more States in the fight. Guns and firearms made in Montana will be exempt from federal regulation and control. It will increase gun manufacturing in Montana, but it may be difficult to stop people from transporting guns across State lines.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer has signed into law a bill that aims to exempt Montana-made guns from federal regulation.

House Bill 246 was sponsored by Republican Rep. Joel Boniek of Livingston. It applies only to guns made and kept in Montana. Its supporters hope it triggers a court case to test the legal basis for federal rules governing gun sales.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Tells the World That No One is Escaping!

In case you don't know about the IMF, it is an international organization that oversees the global financial system. IMF will typically bankrupt a third world economy and has been rightfully criticized for its policies. The IMF has already destroyed the economy in Argentina! The IMF is predicting that no one will be able to escape the current financial collapse. There are no countries where you can go (what about Monster Island?). If the IMF is accurate, you will be paying for the bankers' debts for a long time.

THE International Monetary Fund has forecast a prolonged, deep global recession in a crisis "nobody is escaping," with recovery slow and difficult. Weak capital flows to emerging economies in the downturn will hammer Eastern Europe in particular, the IMF said in releasing two chapters from its twice-yearly World Economic Outlook (WEO).

The Tropospheric Aerosol Program Plan (The U.S. Government's How-to-Guide to Chemtrail the Sky?)

Here is a link to the Energy Department's official "chemtrail" program plan for public release. It will be interesting reading to see the technologies being presented. I have seen chemtrails for years, but I had never even heard of the troposphere until today.

The Department That Will Help Obama Control the Weather Through Chemtrails and the Tropospheric Aerosol Program

The Tropospheric Aerosol Program is the likely source of the "chemtrails" that we have been seeing in our skies since the mid-1990s. Once again, I have been trying to point it out to people for years only be told they are only contrails.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Wants Your Guns (Gun buy-back program launched citywide in Los Angeles)

There have been a lot of these gun buy-back programs in the surrounding Los Angeles areas lately. Now there is a citywide gun buy-back program. In this case, you'll get a $100-200 gift cards to buy cheap disposable merchandise.

Has anyone ever done a study to see if these programs produce positive results? I do not believe it will help reduce crime, and crime will likely increase once the people are disarmed.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Thursday kicked off a gun buy-back program urging Angelenos to turn in their guns to police departments in exchange for gift cards.

Angelenos who turn in their guns -- regardless of whether the firearm has been used in a crime -- will receive a gift certificate, Villaraigosa said.

President Obama to Control the Weather (Climate Engineering & Chemtrails)

People have completely denied the chemtrails that are regularly sprayed in our skies. I have previously posted photographs I took in Santa Monica demonstrating the chemtrail spraying (SANTA MONICA CHEMTRAILS). Doubters always say that the trails are nothing but simple contrails and that I am imagining things. Hmmmm, I guess this is the year that everything imaginary is proven to be real. First, it was the New World Order last week, and now it is the chemtrails. The article talks as if the program has not yet begun, but the government loves to approve things that it is already doing.

The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air. John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed.

One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.

President Obama's National Security Advisor James L. Jones Takes His Daily Orders from Republican Henry Kissinger!!

What the @#$%!

U.S. National Security Advisor James L. Jones admitted at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009, that he gets his daily orders from Henry Kissinger who was President Richard Nixon's Secretary of State in the 1970s.

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through Generaal Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.

Now I am confused, who is giving the orders in the West Wing? President Obama? 163-year old Henry Kissinger? The National Security Council? Bat-Man?

It can understand someone like Kissinger providing occasional advice, but for him to be giving daily orders down through his elaborate chain-of-command is quite scary!

FYI, Kissinger has been accused of war crimes against humanity in numerous nations around the globe.

Iverson Should Play Overseas in the Euroleague if NBA Teams Don't Want to Start Him in 2009-10

Allen Iverson has always been one of my all-time favorite players. A living NBA legend! A man who single handedly brought the mid-90s hip-hop mentality to the league. However, with an expiring contract and only continued reserve roles on the horizon, is the only place where Iverson can start and prosper in Europe?

Losing Iverson to the Euroleague would be a shame and a treat too. Like when Dominique Wilkins won the Euroleague for Panathinaikos in 1996. I was happy for 'Nique, but I will always wonder "what if" the Hawks didn't trade him to the Clippers in 1994.

Is Iverson willing to be a reserve next year?

“I’d rather retire before I do this again,” Iverson said. “I can’t be effective playing this way. I’m not used to it. It’s tough for me both mentally and physically. If I’m able to go out there, I should be able to get it done and I can’t right now. It’s my fault. I have to be able to overcome the adversity and do what I have to do. I just have to find a way to get it done. Not being 100 percent makes it harder and you can see that I’m not 100 percent.”

I think Iverson would thrive in the Euroleague and his popularity would bring more worldwide fans to the Euroleague. I can even imagine NBA-TV or Fox picking up some of the games. Bringing a Euroleague championship to a team would cement Iverson as an even bigger worldwide icon. If he signs a 3-year deal with a Euro team (with 1-year opt-outs), he can cap it all off with a swan song 2012 Olympics in London.

The NBA would miss Iverson if he played in Europe, and it would also likely mean he will never raise the NBA trophy like Isiah and Tiny - his peers as best 6'1" and under players. No matter that Iverson hasn't won a ring, I'll never forget the 48 points he dropped on the Lakers in the Finals that put him only three (3) wins away from one.

While Euroleague fans would love to see him cross the pond, Iverson will likely stand by his word and retire if a starting NBA position is not available. If he doesn't want to go to Europe, then I agree, because Iverson should not be jumping from team to team getting 15-20 minutes a night with the second unit on a sub-.500 team. That's not Allen Iverson.

The New World Order (N.W.O.) -- Official Date of Birth - April 2, 2009

Here is a link to all the stories from TODAY only that suddenly "acknowledge" the New World Order. For years, they have said it did not exist, but now suddenly every media outlet has received their marching orders to tout it as a great benefit to the world.

NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS STORIES

I guess this validates what the "crazy conspiracy theorists" like myself have been saying for years. Will people finally believe that the bankers intend to bankrupt this country (almost there), incite regional violence to further tighten the police state, engineer a fraudulent environmental agenda to further drain our pockets with carbon cap and trade taxes, round-up any people who disagree with their plans and kill off 75-80% of the rest of us through pandemics, vaccines and war?

Oh Joe, you're always reading too much into this. Why don't you watch some TV and drink some fluoridated water (FLUORIDE STUPIDITY)? The bankers have to do all of this in order to save us from ourselves, because a few unqualified people got subprime mortgages that have destroyed the world economy. Everything will be alright. Just give it time and the bankers more and more money!

Hogwash! If you have that faith in these evil bankers and the government, then I know you are happy with the fact you (and your kids and grandkids) now each owe over $42,000 in connection with the $12.8 trillion bailout and stimulus (BLOOMBERG SAYS $12.8 TRILLION), and worldwide we each owe $190,000 in connection with the $1.5 quadrillion derivatives bubble ($1.5 QUADRILLION IN DERIVATIVES). It's only going to get worst! Another $1.2 trillion deficit in our budget for the upcoming year (U.S. BUDGET $1.2 TRILLION DEFICIT). Enjoy the chaos!

All these bankers need to be indicted and arrested immediately for grand theft instead of being given more money and power! Of course it is not over, but the time we have been talking about for years is now at hand. Spend time with your family! Tell them you love them and get ready for the ride! May God bless us all through these trying times!

American Company Sends Bird Flu Virus to European Lab in Vaccine!!! What the @#$%

This story is beyond belief!!! How in the world does someone accidentally put a bird flu virus in a vaccine? Bird Flu is one of the deadliest viruses on earth. Anyone with access to it would require the proper documented authorizations. Therefore, there should be a record of the persons responsible for this "accident."

Radio host Alex Jones dedicated a significant portion of his show last week when he first covered the story. How can companies be allowed to make such ridiculous and potential devastating "mistakes?" If the average person "accidentally" sent bird flu through the mail, he would either be killed or be spending the rest of his days in solitary confinement. There is absolutely no way a mistake like this should EVER happen.

Baxter International Inc. in Austria unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in three neighboring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease.

The contamination was discovered when ferrets at a laboratory in the Czech Republic died after being inoculated with vaccine made from the samples early this month. The material came from Deerfield, Illinois-based Baxter, which reported the incident to the Austrian Ministry of Health, Sigrid Rosenberger, a ministry spokeswoman, said today in a telephone interview.

“This was infected with a bird flu virus,” Rosenberger said. “There were some people from the company who handled it.”

Proposed Legislation Authorizes FEMA Camps in the United States of America!

Here's some more "evidence" of the things I have discussed over the years on this blog and in my campaign. There is now legislation being proposed in Congress to authorize FEMA camps for American citizens in cases of national emergencies. Section 2(b)(4) says that these centers can be used for "appropriate needs" as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. However, "appropriate needs" is not defined in the legislation nor is the Secretary's determination limited by anything in the bill.

The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of to providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill.

The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations”.

Ominously, the bill also states that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” an open ended mandate which many fear could mean the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse.

Skateboarding in Afghanistan (Skateistan)!

This article speaks for itself, but basically a visionary is helping to bring skateboarding to the youth of Afghanistan. I would imagine that many Afghan kids have never seen a skateboard, so it must be quite an experience for them when they first see one. Good stuff!

But Percovich has raised the money needed to build an 800-square-meter, or 8,600-square-foot, bubble to house the nonprofit Skateistan complex, and the Kabul Parks Authority has tentatively donated land. He is still waiting for official permission to begin the project. Since a spate of kidnappings and the car bombing in November, he has reduced his daily sessions at the fountain to once or twice a week.
