MSNBC Hardball Analysts: List of Americans Set for Profiling and Targeting As Potential Enemy Combantants Under Globalist Agenda?


I never imagined that I would live in a country where a disagreement on disputed facts is seen by the mainstream media as a psychological disorder. On a recent "Hardball with Chris Matthews," political analyst Howard Fineman and Politico's Ken Vogel listed several different groups of Americans who seemingly have lost their grip on reality. Could this be foreshadowing to whom the government will be targeting as the proverbial scapegoat as Obama's poll numbers continue to drop?

Fortunately, just because Chris Matthews and his sidekicks say something, doesn't make it true. In fact, a majority of Americans would likely fall into one of these categories, so they are essentially saying most of America is delusional. I disagree with Hardball's assessment. The relevant MSNBC video clips are at 4:39 and 6:13 above.

Do you fit into one of these categories? If so, you may one day in the not too distant future be considered a domestic terrorist, arrested without warrant, held indefinitely and tortured -- all legal under the Patriot Act. MSNBC's Hardball show certainly is not helping the perception of these groups, if such a scary scenario does indeed exist.

  • People who believe that the Bilderberg Group consists of globalist bankers who control international policy.
  • People who question the legitimacy of the Federal Reserve and federal income taxes.
  • People who embrace conspiracy theories.
  • People who question Obama's natural-birth status.
  • People who wonder why the government consistently attempts to restrict the 2nd Amendment.
  • People who question any official government story over the past 100 years.
  • People who dispute the official 9/11 story.
  • Ron Paul voters and supporters.
Please remember the below poem by Martin Niemöller in connection with Nazi Germany if you do not fit into one of the above categories.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Corbett: Was 9/11 Caused by Cyberattacks and PTech?

I have learned more about enterprise architecture in the last few weeks than I ever could have imagined. Conceptually, the idea is not that complex, but I never could have believed that this type of technology really exists. However, it is 2009 and not 1979. Therefore, I would expect the technology to match the year.

It is argued that various elements had access to certain enterprise architecture programs residing on government computers on September 11, 2001 which would have allowed these elements real time access to certain FAA computers. This access would have given them complete control over everything. The Corbett Report analyzes this possibility and discusses whether the real "cyber 9/11" happened on 9/11.

“Enterprise architecture software” refers to a computer program that allows someone to look at all of the data produced throughout an organization’s structure in real time. This effectively gives the program user a god’s-eye view of an enterprise, allowing for the mapping, visualization and analysis of all transactions, interactions, systems, processes and personnel in the entirety of a business or agency. This type of software could, for example, be used for robust business modeling, allowing for extremely detailed and accurate projections of how changes in an organization’s structure or processes would effect a business’ bottom line. What would happen if two departments were merged, for example, or if a business were to outsource one of its processes.

As this software began to mature in the 1990s, however, it went from a merely useful tool to something truly incredible. Sophisticated enterprise architecture software could, for example, examine all of the transactions taking place across a financial institution in real time and examine that data for possible money laundering operations or rogue traders. Such software could even have potentially detected and identified the insider trading leading up to 9/11. Combined with rudimentary artificial intelligence capabilities, such a program would not only be able to alert the appropriate personnel about such transactions, but even stop them as they are happening. If the software were sophisticated enough, it may even be able to identify the possibility of such transactions before they happen.

The utility of such software for organizations of all stripes should be obvious enough. It is unsurprising, then, that numerous government agencies and powerful corporations were hungry for this software in the 1990s. A surprising number of them, including DARPA, the FBI, the Secret Service, the White House, the Navy, the Air Force, the FAA, NATO, IBM, Booz Allen Hamilton and Price Waterhouse Coopers (amongst many others) turned to a small New England-based software firm called Ptech.

Senator John Kerry Says US Needs Nationwide Interoperable Public Safety Network Communications Grid!

As the Government Accountability Office warns of communications lapses, Congress is promoting the need for increased centralization and control of the critical networks. I have heard a need for this control in connection with the energy grid and with the Internet. Now according to Senator John Kerry's office, there seems to be a need to control all the country's communications from a central point. Can anyone say PTech?

“The 9/11 Commission recommendation was crystal clear: we need a nationwide interoperable public safety network,” Kerry said in a statement. “In times of crisis, cops, firefighters, and other heroes on the ground need every tool to keep them and us safe, and we owe it to the American people to get them every bit of available information to help protect them and their families.”

According to Kerry's office, the report cites the inability to stay connected during and after disasters, limited capacities of communications systems, and problems communicating across different agencies s serious obstacles to first responders across the country.

Remote Air Force Space Command Base Uses Solar and Wind Energy to Power Facilities


by Staff Sgt. Matthew Bates
Defense Media Activity-San Antonio

7/27/2009 - ASCENSION ISLAND, St. Helena (AFNS) -- A small Air Force Space Command base on the British-owned island of Ascension uses natural energy to help power its facilities.

Called Ascension Auxiliary Airfield, the small base serves as a satellite tracking station for the 45th Space Wing.

Located in the South Atlantic Ocean several thousand miles from the coast of Africa, it is the most southerly tracking facility for space launches from Cape Canaveral, Fla.

The base uses a number of environmentally friendly methods to produce power, including wind turbines and a solar farm.

The environmental achievements accomplished on Ascension Island aren't going unnoticed. The base has received numerous awards, the most recent was the 2008 Gen. Thomas D. White Environmental Quality Award for an overseas base.

This award is presented by the Air Force chief of staff to an installation located outside the United States that demonstrates exceptional environmental achievement with consideration given to the host country environmental standards and the level of cooperation between the installation and the local community.

"We have a great relationship with the people of Ascension and the Royal Air Force," said Maj. Jay Block, commander of the 45th Space Wing's Detachment 2 on the island. "We've worked hand-in-hand to accomplish a lot of our environmental and conservation programs."

In 1996, Air Force Space Command officials installed four 225-kilowatt wind turbines on the island to supplement the station's electrical power supplied by fuel-driven generators. The idea to build a wind farm was actively pursued because of the island's remote location, its steady winds and the high cost of fuel oil shipments.

"We're in an isolated location here, so we're pretty self-sufficient when it comes to power generation," Major Block said.

Once the turbines were operational, the base became the first to use wind energy in the Department of Defense.

"Once the turbines were up and running, no one really knew what to expect," said Damien Cuello, who works at the airfield's power plant.

But, the results were almost immediate.

During its first four months of operation, the four three-blade turbines produced more than 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity. And, with an average wind speed on the island of 16 to 17 miles per hour, the wind generators produce an estimated 2.5 million kilowatt hours of energy each year. Fuel oil consumption is also down by nearly 300,000 gallons for an annual savings of $350,000.

"In fact, the project, which cost around $3 million, has already paid for itself," said Jim Henning, the base's utilities supervisor.

And the base isn't only using wind to help power its grid; it's also using the sun. Located near the flightline, the base installed a solar farm that helps power the lights lining the runway.

"Sure, saving money is nice, but showing that wind and solar energy work will hopefully make other people and other bases think, 'Hey, maybe we should look into that,'" Mr. Jennings said.

IBM, UNISYS and Partner Corporations Push Supply Chain Eugenics (PTech & Enterprise Architecture)

Ptech built Supply Chain Infrastructure - Destruction of Free Market from Anti_Illuminati on Vimeo.

This opinion article is being republished with the permission of the original author and it relates to an earlier blog post where I covered the recent UNISYS documentary by Anti-Illuminati Film Productions and its thousands of hours of related research on "Has Unisys Built a "Skynet" Global Enslavement Grid for the New World Order? (Effects Based Operations & Full Spectrum Dominance - Documentary Video)"

IBM, UNISYS AND PARTNER CORPORATIONS PUSH SUPPLY CHAIN EUGENICS

By: Chris Paine

The global elite sure love to flaunt their intentions in front of the masses. Take the recent IBM propaganda push for the Global Information Grid (GIG) (ad 1, ad 2, ad 3) technology or “Smart Grid” as they call it. Their most brazen push so far is blatantly showing how all of your personal information would be accessible from a single database that is connected to multiple agencies around the world. They even push their eugenics propaganda when they talk about “tailoring vaccines to your DNA”. These ads run multiple times a day on national television right now!

UNISYS, an international computer security firm that has ties to virtually all sectors of the government, is actually taking on the eugenics agenda from a technological perspective called “Supply Chain Eugenics”. According to their recent propaganda video, they describe the many facets of industry that their security technology can protect or control by using Artificial Intelligence software that can determine problems or attacks before they occur. This software is oddly familiar to the capabilities of the AI software recently coming back out into the spotlight known as Ptech. They also specifically make the point multiple times in their video that those who do not comply with the system “get left behind” and will die.

The major example of a modern day place using this technology is the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the [Interstate 35] bridge collapse over the [Mississippi] River in 2007, the City's Information website was being “bombarded” by traffic and needed attention in order to help notify the general public of the disaster. The Chief Information Officer, Lynn Willenbring, states that UNISYS called her and offered to take over all of the IT functions of the city immediately in order to “fix” their problems, free of charge! Today, UNISYS runs all IT functions of transportation and security in the City of Minneapolis, with street cameras and database “protection” software. They also have wireless broadband anywhere in the city, accessible by businesses and citizens alike.

However, while all of those things may seem like nice “perks” and benefits, do not be fooled. They are all tools of control used by the NWO to suppress the population. They will have the power of all of your personal data and total control over the use of the internet at their fingertips allowing them to make sure that people only travel where they say we can and only use what they provide for us and only hear what they want us to hear. It will be used to totally monopolize the markets and make everything function in their favor.

The video provided by Anti-Illuminati Film Productions, shows how the UNISYS video is linked to Indira Singh's testimony on Ptech, as well as accounts by John Zachman, the “father” of enterprise architecture (aka free thinking AI). It also shows how even 14 years ago in the Hollywood movie, “The Net” starring Sandra Bullock, the entire concept with Ptech (Gatekeeper in the movie) and the GIG going on right now, was thrown right in our faces and we didn't even know it! In the wake of potential catastrophic events, lets hope that the majority of the world wakes up about this before its too late because the price of remaining unaware is nothing short of slavery.

FLASHBACK: Experimental Anti H5N1 Bird Flu Vaccine Kills 21 Homeless People in Poland

I seem to be focusing most of my blog posts the last few days on the subject of pandemics and the H1N1 "swine" flu virus. Here is some more evidence from July, 2008 that should make you want to really research the facts before taking the upcoming mandatory H1N1 "swine" flu vaccine.

The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.

Authorities claim that the alleged victims received £1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

The director of a Grudziadz homeless centre, Mieczyslaw Waclawski, told a Polish newspaper that last year, 21 people from his centre died...

Has Unisys Built a "Skynet" Global Enslavement Grid for the New World Order? (Effects Based Operations & Full Spectrum Dominance - Documentary Video)

Supply Chain Eugenics - Total Enslavement Grid from Anti_Illuminati on Vimeo.

This video is a compilation of Unisys videos directly from their own website, as well as a few surprises thrown in--exposing part of the New World Order agenda (as they are part of the NWO, and are making these admissions). Unisys was directly involved in the 9/11 false flag inside job black operation in order to spearhead and thrust upon the world everything shown in the video. From forced integration of Ptech ("PROMIS II") RBAC (Role Based Authentication) Enterprise Architectuers that 100% put all command and control (C2) in the hands of the global criminal offshore banking cartel--to using the same artificial intelligence to directly engineer world policy, virtual government, all aspects of military, law enforcement, security, banking, medical, commerce, economies, transportation, personal data, corporate/government data, utility grids (energy, water), food imports/exports, and anything not listed. This is the price humanity pays for not stopping these criminals. It will be absolute hell on Earth enslavement never before achieved by any previous tyranny in history. The only way we can win is for mass awareness to understand that all of these measures of interoperability are sold on totally fradulent premises, via extremely well crafted propaganda and government Problem-Reaction-Solution fearmongering--that of staged cyber attacks, via deliberately INSECURE systems, and other false flag attacks (called Effects Based Operations (EBO) or Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW)--where their solutions, for our "safety", or being "necessary to survive in the economic crisis" (never mind that the same globalists behind Unisys engineered it) are a total forfeiture of liberty, & independence, an anathema to free humanity. We must facilitate, and cultivate incentive to resist all of this insanity and force constitutional government and sovereignty to take precedence, and remove this wickedly engineered evil, i.e. their full spectrum dominance, and put that dominance back to the sovereign individual where the government serves the People, and no shadow government is ever allowed to usurp the inalienable rights of mankind.

This IS Life or Death.

They are not playing games.

We cannot play games either.

Use this distilled knowledge in this video as a weapon of truth to destroy their credibility permanently worldwide.

Swine Flu Public Service Announcement Propaganda (1976)



Remember that the swine flu vaccine was worse than the swine flu itself.

The vaccine was linked to the Guillain-Barre syndrome with more than five hundred (500) people developing the disorder and twenty-five (25) killed.

Only one person was killed from the 1976 swine flu in the United States.

Catherine Austin Fitts: Depopulation is Goal of H1N1 "Swine" Flu Vaccine (Former President George H.W. Bush Assistant Cabinet Member)!

If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you will know that I have been posting a lot lately about the H1N1 "swine" flu issue. It is my opinion that the experimental vaccine will be used to infect and kill many people throughout the world. More and more "official" people are making statements on the record agreeing with this position. The latest is Ms. Catherine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration.

On her blog, Ms. Fitts gave a detailed analysis from a financial perspective about why the vaccine will be used to depopulate the Earth down to 500 million people.

I believe one of the goals of the swine flu vaccine is depopulation. Perhaps it is the goal of a swine flu epidemic as well, whether bio-warfare or hype around a flu season...

As trillions of dollars were shifted out of America by legal and illegal means to reinvest in Asia and emerging markets and to build a global military empire, we left a sovereign nation economic model behind. Finally, the expense and corruption of empire resulted in bailouts of $12-14 trillion, delivering a new financial war chest to the people leading the financial engineering. Now we have exploding unemployment, an exploding federal deficit, an Inspector General for the TARP bailout program predicting that the ultimate bailout cost could rise to $23.7 trillion and a Congressional Budget Director who is concluding that we can no longer afford the social safety net.

That is, unless you change the actuarial assumptions in the budget – like life expectancy. Lowering immune systems and increasing toxicity levels combined with poor food, water and terrorizing stress will help do the trick...

CNN: State of Hawaii Destroyed President Obama's Long-Form Birth Certificate in 2001!

***UPDATE (July 28, 2009) - Check out the latest blog entry (WND: Hawaii Did Not Destroy President Obama's Original Long-Form Birth Certificate (Conflicts With CNN & Lou Dobbs Report)!) that potentially contradicts the below CNN story.
________________________

Obama's citizenship has become a huge news story with MSNBC, Fox, CNN and big time radio hosts covering it on a daily basis over the last week. Many people (including myself) are demanding that President Obama produce his Hawaiian long-form birth certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I assume that this below CNN/Media Bistro story will end the controversy (for now) over President Barack Obama's Hawaiian long-form birth certificate.

Without a long-form birth certificate, the short-form birth certificate produced by Obama "proves" his citizenship for purposes of being President. Unless someone can produce a contradictory document that holds the same weight as Obama's Hawaiian short-form birth certificate, I agree with CNN that Obama's alleged non-citizenship is a dead story.

However, if someone finds a contradictory document, then I will definitely be back blogging about it.

So what happened to President Obama's original long-form birth certificate?

CNN's president Jon Klein asked his political researchers to find out why Obama could not produce the original long-form birth certificate. The State of Hawaii Health Department informed CNN's researchers that the long-form birth certificate no longer existed, because Hawaii went to a paperless system in 2001. Therefore, President Obama's long-form birth certificate was discarded and likely destroyed in the State's trashing process.

---- Original Message -----
From: Klein, Jon (CNN)
Sent: Thu Jul 23 19:00:44 2009
Subject: Important re birth certificate

I asked the political researchers to dig into the question "why couldn't Obama produce the ORIGINAL birth certificate?"

This is what they forwarded. It seems to definitively answer the question. Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead - because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.

Thx

*****************

*In 2001 - the state of Hawaii Health Department went paperless.*Paper documents were discarded*The official record of Obama's birth is now an official ELECTRONIC record Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for the Health Department told the Honolulu Star Bulletin, "At that time, all information for births from 1908 (on) was put into electronic files for consistent reporting," she said.

Transcript from Lou Dobbs Tonight - 07.23.09

DOBBS: ....And a number of Americans are asking, why not? The left-wing media has attacked me because I simply asked the question. Meanwhile, the state of Hawaii says it can't release a paper copy of the president's original birth certificate because they say the state government discarded the original document when the health department records went electronic some eight years ago.

FLASHBACK - Revolution, Flashmobs and Brain Chips (A Grim Vision of the Future in 2035 A.D.)

This article from the Guardian back in 2007 provides a glimpse thirty (30) years into the world's future. It appears that many of these things will likely come true, so was this article a vision or an actual battleplan? I am looking for the original Ministry report upon which this article is based.

Information chips implanted in the brain. Electromagnetic pulse weapons. The middle classes becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat. The population of countries in the Middle East increasing by 132%, while Europe's drops as fertility falls. "Flashmobs" - groups rapidly mobilised by criminal gangs or terrorists groups.

This is the world in 30 years' time envisaged by a Ministry of Defence team responsible for painting a picture of the "future strategic context" likely to face Britain's armed forces. It includes an "analysis of the key risks and shocks". Rear Admiral Chris Parry, head of the MoD's Development, Concepts & Doctrine Centre which drew up the report, describes the assessments as "probability-based, rather than predictive".

President Obama's Indonesian Fransiskus Assisi School Registration (Including Nationality & Religion)?


***This document needs to be verified and authenticated before it can be used as evidence.***

I must be slipping as I age, because here is yet another document that I missed. This registration document, if true and accurate, was made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia and the Associated Press. It shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name "Barry Soetoro" into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. MSNBC reported that President Obama did indeed attend this Fransiskus Assisi school.

It may be some of the strongest "birther" evidence to disprove President Obama's eligibility to be President of the USA. Please note the following items on the above school registration (some of the text is translated from Indonesian):

Nama (Name) - Barry Soetoro

Did President Obama disclose on all previous federal and state applications (where requested) any previous names he may have used?

Agama (Religion) - Islamic

President Obama has stated on his official web page that he has never been a Muslim and was not raised a Muslim. **Note** - The original link is not available, but you can view an archived version here.

Bangsa (The nation / nationality) - Indonesia

This statement would seem to indicate that Obama held Indonesian citizenship at one point in time. It is highly arguable that dual citizens are ineligible to become President.

Obama as a child in Indonesia. From Gawker

As an attorney and a black man in America, I agree with the Birthers that there are some issues with Barack's citizenship. For ease of reference, I'm linking to my previous blog article Conspiracy Theory: Where is Obama's Long-Form Hawaiian Birth Certificate? where I analyzed the differences between Hawaiian long-form and short-form birth certificates using Attorney Berg's legal research.

I believe that President Obama has provided prima facie evidence (namely his short-form birth certificate and his oaths as an Illinois attorney and state/federal politician) that he is a natural-born citizen. Nevertheless, any presumptions resulting from this prima facie evidence may be rebutted by other evidence that contradicts or disproves the prima facie evidence. In Obama's case, Obama has provided a Hawaiian short-form birth certificate to presumptively prove his natural-born citizenship. If there was no contradicting evidence to this short-form birth certificate, then there would be no issue and it would be automatically presumed he is a natural-born citizen.

However, potential contradictory evidence has surfaced that could rebut Obama's prima facie evidence of being a natural-born citizen. Therefore, this alleged evidence should be reviewed and determined if it is sufficient to rebut Obama's prima facie evidence. If the prima facie evidence is rebutted, then the burden of proof would shift back to Obama to prove his natural-born citizenship through other evidence, because the Hawaiian short-form birth certificate would not be presumed to prove his natural-born citizenship.

At this point, no Court has agreed to hear this alleged evidence to rebut the presumptions, but it could change if some judge decides to hear the evidence in one of the many cases being filed. No matter what may happen, this issue will only be resolved when/if Obama releases his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate!

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Basically Admits That Council on Foreign Relations Runs U.S. Government


Back in April, President Obama's National Security Advisor James L. Jones stated on record that he takes his daily orders from Dr. Henry Kissinger.

U.S. Federal Government Prepared to Fight State Firearms Freedom Acts in Montana and Tennessee!

We knew that this federal versus State Second Amendment battle was coming. Over the last few months, States such as Montana and Tennessee have passed "Firearms Freedom Acts" wherein any firearm made exclusively within the State was exempt from federal registration and authority.

However, the federal government takes a completely different position and believes that it has the authority to legislate and regulate firearms anywhere within the borders of the United States.

In the last few months, a grass-roots, federalist revolt against Washington, D.C. has begun to spread through states that are home to politically active gun owners. Montana and Tennessee have enacted state laws saying that federal rules do not apply to firearms manufactured entirely within the state, and similar bills are pending in Texas, Alaska, Minnesota, and South Carolina.

Yet the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and Explosives now claims that that not only is such a state law invalid, but "because the act conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulations, federal law supersedes the act."

Below are two (2) July 16, 2009 letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives to Montana and Tennessee respectively notifying the federal firearms licensees in these States that federal law supersedes the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act, passed on June 19, 2009 and the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, effectively on October 1, 2009.
