“Bury my heart….”</div>
</div>
<strong>One hundred and twenty-two years ago, the Pine Ridge Reservation witnessed the end of an epoch: the end of a people fighting for their way of life. Many see it, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wounded_Knee_Massacre">in Wikipedia’s words</a>, as “the last battle of the American Indian wars”.</strong><br />
<strong>Except it wasn’t a battle; it was a massacre. And it was the end of life as Indians knew it. No more were the days of riding and hunting freely. </strong><br />
Treaties had been broken, time and again, by the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa" title="More from guardian.co.uk on United States">United States</a> government; millions of buffalo had been killed for their hides and for sport; land was being taken left and right.<br />
The US government recognized the Black Hills as belonging to the Sioux tribe by the Treaty of Laramie in 1868, but this treaty, too, was violated thanks to prospectors who kept coming to search for gold. By 1874, there was a full-fledged gold rush near Deadwood, South Dakota.<br />
The fight for the land that was sacred to the Lakota – and which was coveted for its gold by the white incomers – came to a boiling point on 25 June 1876, when General George Armstrong Custer took his 7th cavalry regiment into an ambush led by Lakota leader Crazy Horse and their allies, the Cheyenne and Northern Arapahoe.<br />
<strong>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Little_Bighorn">battle at Little Bighorn</a>,</strong> often referred to as “Custer’s Last Stand”, did not sit well with the government as the whole regiment perished and the flags of the cavalry and the United States were captured.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>A mere 14 years later, after the death of Crazy Horse and Chief Sitting Bull, the Lakota people were facing annihiliation. Their leaders were being killed by members of their own tribe who were scouts and police agents for the US government. </strong><br />
<strong>They themselves were starving. Chief Spotted Elk (often referred to as Chief Big Foot) and his band traveled to the Pine Ridge agency in the hopes that a ghost dance would be an answer to prayers.</strong></blockquote>

Final Pose – for Chief Big Foot</div>
</div>
<strong>The chief was sick</strong> with pneumonia thanks to the bitter winter of 1890. His band was reduced to about 350 people, the majority being women and children. They were joined with some people from the Hunkpapa Lakota band from Fort Yates, who had left after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitting_bull">murder of their chief, Sitting Bull</a>.<br />
The group was intercepted at Porcupine Butte on 28 December 1890 by a detachment of the 7th cavalry. They made camp that night at Wounded Knee Creek, five miles west of the butte.<br />
Here, the Indian encampment was surrounded by the full muster of the 7th cavalry regiment, armed with an artillery battery of four Hotchkiss guns.<br />
Under the command of Colonel James Forsythe, the troops began entering the Lakotas’ tipis the next morning, 29 December, and disarming the Indians: confiscating the men’s guns and even the knives that the women used to cook.<br />
As cavalrymen tried to take a rifle from a deaf man who was trying to exclaim he paid a lot for it, the rifle discharged accidentally. At that, the men of the 7th cavalry started shooting indiscriminately on the encampment.<br />
<strong>With fire from the four Hotchkiss guns</strong> and with over 500 soldiers encircling the tipis on all four sides, several of the soldiers of the 7th cavalry fell to friendly fire. The men from Chief Spotted Elk’s tribe fought back, the ones that were further out on the ridge ran forward to help, but were soon outnumbered.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>The women and children, who were standing to the side of the camp, began to run for the ravines. Some were later found up to two miles away from the camp after soldiers had hunted them down and killed them. Four babies were found alive beneath their mother’s bodies.</strong></blockquote>

Burial Party</div>
</div>
<strong>By the time the incident was over,</strong> the US army estimated that about 150 men, women, and children had died that day, including Chief Spotted Elk, gunned down in the snow. The army counted another 50 Indians injured.<br />
Some 25 troopers were killed and 39 injured, the majority as a result of friendly fire. Alternative estimates count the massacre far higher, at between 300 and 400 killed.<br />
General Nelson Miles, who had overall command of this final act in the Indian wars, joined his troop a day later. He was deeply dismayed at the atrocity and, suspecting that Colonel Forsyth had deliberately engineered the massacre, relieved him of his command. The Lakota dead were thrown into a mass grave and buried.<br />
The Lakota were stunned that this could happen to them. But public opinion – the opinion of majority white America – was not on their side. Then a young newspaper editor, later the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L Frank Baum editorialized for the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer on 3 January 1891:<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>“The Pioneer has before declared that our only safety depends upon the total extermination of the Indians. Having wronged them for centuries, we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth. </strong><br />
<strong>In this lies future safety for our settlers and the soldiers who are under incompetent commands. Otherwise, we may expect future years to be as full of trouble with the redskins as those have been in the past.”</strong></blockquote>

<strong>Lending the United States’ official stamp</strong> to such attitudes, 20 troopers were awarded the congressional medal of honor for the action – an extraordinarily triumphalist endorsement. Forsyth was later exonerated and promoted to major general.<br />
To put those awards for military valor – the nation’s highest honor – in context, as <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joseph-huffhannon/wounded-knee-medal-of-honor_b_2664709.html">Joseph Huff-Hannon points out in the Huffington Post</a>, only seven such medals have been awarded to members of the US armed services during the more than decade-long conflict in Afghanistan.<br />
There have been many previous attempts to rescind these medals, awarded for a war crime that <a href="http://blogoliticalsean.blogspot.com/2011/12/another-day-will-live-in-infamy-wounded.html">has been compared with the 1968 My Lai massacre</a>, when the rampaging soldiers of Charlie company killed between 300 and 500 unarmed villagers in Vietnam. These men, though, were not awarded medals. They were court-martialed and their commander was convicted of murder.<br />
<strong>Senator <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/johnmccain" title="More from guardian.co.uk on John McCain">John McCain</a>,</strong> ranking member of the US Senate’s armed services committee, has acknowledged the great wrong of Wounded Knee, but defended the medals in a <a href="http://www.dickshovel.com/mccain.html">letter addressing a 1996 campaign for their rescindment</a>.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>“The policies and decisions of the United States government that led to the army’s being at Wounded Knee in 1890 doubtless can be characterized as unjust, unwise, or worse. </strong><br />
<strong>Nevertheless, a retrospective judgement that the government’s policies and actions were dishonorable does not warrant rescinding the medals awarded to individual soldiers for bravery in a brief, fierce fight in which 25 soldiers were killed and 45 others wounded. </strong><br />
<strong>Neither today’s standards for awarding the medal nor policies of the United States with regard to Indian tribes are what they were in 1890.”</strong></blockquote>
<strong>The mindset was different then,</strong> I agree with McCain; the same views are not prevalent now. In 1990, on the centenary of the incident, the 101st Congress passed a resolution that apologized to the Sioux people for the Wounded Knee massacre and expressed support for the establishment of a “suitable and appropriate memorial to those who were tragically slain at Wounded Knee”.<br />
And yet, here we are, 23 years later, and still there is no memorial. Calvin Spotted Elk, a descendant of the Lakota chief, <a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/No_Medals_for_Massacre_Justice_for_Wounded_Knee/">has started a petition</a> in an effort, once again, to argue for justice and have these medals of honor rescinded.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>There is no vengeful spirit in the petition to rescind the medals; the soldiers who participated in that action are long gone. There is also precedent for rescindment: in 1917, 911 medals of honor (most relating to the American civil war) were rescinded, for a variety of reasons.</strong><br />
<span style="color: navy;"><strong>[Editors Note: The 'variety' of reasons generally all involved corruption. A repeat of the mass giving out of combat medals was not to be repeated until Vietnam, where a close review would rescind many of those, for example like 'not being present for the action'.]</strong></span></blockquote>
Rather, the petition is about making a gesture of reparation for the fact that a long genocidal war was waged by the United States against its own <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/indigenous-peoples" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Indigenous peoples">indigenous peoples</a>.<br />
The fact that 20 medals of honor were so readily awarded for such a dishonorable action is seen as wrong by many living <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-military" title="More from guardian.co.uk on US military">US military</a> veterans, including film director and Vietnam veteran <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/oliver-stone" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Oliver Stone">Oliver Stone</a>. He has tweeted about Calvin’s petition and encouraged people to sign it <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheOliverStone/posts/536935646338915">via his Facebook page</a>.<br />

As demand for local and raw goods continue to rise, more people are asking - where do I find local organic? Where do I find raw milk and join a herd share? Where are the farmers markets, co-ops and stands?<br />
<br />
Search engines are actually terrible at locating these underground hubs, which makes it so frustrating to try and opt out of corporate chains, save money, and build your family's health. If you've ever gotten a bunch of 'Yelp' listings for weight loss pills while searching, you know what I'm talking about. I've helped a few people find a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) but I found it by accident. So where are they all hiding?<br />
<br />
As it turns out, many of the farmers and markets you're looking for have teamed up with certain websites to be mapped. Use this easy list to find yours today. They won't all be on the same map, but you will be sure to find markets and family farms in your area that were previously invisible.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><b>Why you should bookmark and try them all</b> - not all the hubs will be organic, some are just local. Some don't provide raw milk but could lead you there. Some have other resources like healthy body care, organic delivery or restaurants serving your favorite farm finds worth looking into. Some of the websites don't share your political perspective or stance on health and were possibly supported by agencies and organizations you don't care for. But that's okay, take only what you need and leave the rest.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.localdirt.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">LocalDirt</span></b></a> - Helps you buy right from the farm. It's also a marketplace that allows you to sell and trade. Got eggs? Sell them to your neighbors here. It also allows groups and co-ops to set up bulk orders right there. This one is worth revisiting time and again to check out all its features.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/local-chapters/find-local-chapter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Weston A Price Chapter Leaders</span></b></a> - This is my favorite, because it puts you in touch with passionate people who give their time to connect you to your CSA and quite possibly raw milk and dairy. They will have the latest sources. <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">Weston A. Price Foundation</span></a> is a wealth of knowledge for traditional foods and health.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.realmilk.com/real-milk-finder/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Real Milk Finder</span></b></a> - Also from Weston A. Price, this locator could help you to your raw milk and dairy herd share source. Please keep in mind, raw milk availability really depends on your state laws. And not all of the herd share programs are listed there <b>so be sure to read the next important list item.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.meetup.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Meetup</span></b></a> - This seems like a weird place to get the connections but it makes sense. Meetup allows groups to safely connect online and publicly meet to enjoy hobbies, clubs, politics, education - anything. It's just people meeting up, doing what they love, learning or just having fun - I attribute so many happy, life-changing times to this website. This is how I found my CSA! I went to a nutrition wholefoods meetup to take free natural food classes. The woman running it was a Weston A. Price chapter leader who graciously led me through the entire process and got me connected to raw milk and pasture-fed foods. Wherever people who are passionate about their lifestyle meet, you are sure to pick up a wealth of resources and support. You should check it out to find like-minded people and get out there. I've made great friends this way. Some people find their soul mate!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.eatwild.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Eat Wild</span></b></a> - #1 website for all things grass fed. Their <a href="http://www.eatwild.com/products/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">map</span></a> includes Canada and connects you with grassfed wild foods, even companies who ship directly to you.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.localharvest.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">LocalHarvest</span></b></a> - Another mapping site that allows you to find CSAs, Co-ops, open farms, markets, delis, stores and more. Thankfully, it's been around for awhile. Unfortunately, that could mean some of the info is outdated. Always good to call ahead - don't be afraid to talk to farmers and ask questions.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.homegrown.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Homegrown.org</span></b></a> - Created by <a href="http://www.farmaid.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">FarmAid</span></a> (another educational farm source), offers lots of education and provided some of the links in this article. It also has its own <a href="http://www.homegrown.org/page/find-good-food" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">map</span></b></a> to find local fare. FarmAid also has a list of open <a href="http://www.farmaid.org/site/c.qlI5IhNVJsE/b.6534425/k.DD48/Find_A_Winter_Farmers_Market.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Winter Markets</span></b></a> worth checking. They also list two maps to find wild catch and pastured cattle and dairy farms.<b> <a href="http://www.localcatch.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">Local Catch</span></a></b> and <a href="http://homegrowncow.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">HomeGrownCow</span></b></a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://organicconsumers.org/btc/BuyingGuide.cfm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Organic Consumers Association</span></b></a> - Plug your zip code in and you'll be in touch with not just healthy GMO-free food sources but all kinds of natural health businesses - even skin care, acupuncture and more.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.realtimefarms.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">RealTimeFarms</span></b></a> - Nicely designed, simple to use map shows farmers, artisans, restaurants, markets and more right in your town. Also search by ingredient or certified organic. Very eye-opening!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.farmplate.com/about-us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">FarmPlate</span></b></a> - Holy cow! Find everything in your area including apiaries, bakeries, stands, herbalists, confectioners and more. They've got it all.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.marketmaker.uiuc.edu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">Market Maker</span></b></a> - Is another cool marketplace to buy and sell healthy homegrown.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.eatwellguide.org/i.php?pd=Home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">EatWellGuide</span></b></a> - Find local sustainable food. Is supported by lots of big partners so you know the locator will work great.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=KYF_Compass_Local_Food_Not_Just_USDA.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food</span></a> </b>- This comes from the USDA in an effort to be more "sustainable" and local. Maybe it's to deflect from the tens of billions of dollars going into Big Agri subsidies, the small farm crushing fines of the Food Safety Act, or the GMO deregulation that will run roughshod over local and organic fare. It makes me nervous that the federal government wants to get super cozy with local and have it compassed on a map. But, it does offer a stunning visual of a variety of farms and markets, not just USDA supported ones. You can also find markets near you <a href="http://search.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">here</span></b></a>. Enjoy it - you paid for it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://eatlocalgrown.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">EatLocalGrown</span></b></a> - Wouldn't it be great to know if your food has GMOs or not? Eat Local Grown agrees and locates sources near you. They also have informative beginner's articles, new food provider listings, and over 50,000 Likes on Facebook.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://foodroutes.org/buy-fresh-buy-local/bfbl-chapters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #d52a33;">Food Routes</span></a></b> - Has an outreach called Buy Fresh, Buy Local with chapter leaders who will help you do just that.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wwoof.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #d52a33;">WWOOF</span></b></a> - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms is a buddy to Permies.com (awesome permaculture resource) and a volunteer exchange. People volunteer to learn and work an organic farm and they can get room and board in exchange. Some would call it a free vacation. It's an opportunity to travel, see what it takes to cultivate, and...find a farm!<br />
<br />
So there you have it - 20 places to locate local food and the farmer right in your area. Did I leave out an important resource? Do you have any questions? Please share your resources and questions below and please let us know if any of the links above helped you with your search.<br />

celebrate my 200th video, I've put together this build-along on making a
100 pound crossbow and bolts. The build was quite long and took 3 days
to film, but here it is! There are 13 parts, so sit back with some
popcorn relax.<br /><br />The crossbow has a 100 pound prod, a PVC stirrup, a
captive bolt rest and a simple lever trigger. For extra stability, the
bolt nocks directly on the string to eliminate the need for a retention
clip and to reduce side-to-side bolt movement.<br /><br />Thanks for watching and enjoy!<br /><br />Here's a better description of some things you will need as well as links to videos and some items on Amazon.<br /><br />The

America: camps in the east, the takeover of Dearborn, Michigan and
enclaves in Ohio. They flood a town with their numbers, they vote
themselves in and from there they control a local government, run things
the way they want. It's a time proven strategy that is deliberately
kept from Americans who are encouraged to be preoccupied with
distractions and their own ever-worsening circumstances as all manner of
barbarians are encouraged...<br />
<br />
The key to checking militant Islam is the liberation of Muslim women. To
do that in a culture that mostly allows them to be murdered requires
that they be armed and able to protect themselves and each other. From
there, sanity can be brought to those parts of that world that wholly
subscribe to that ideology.<br />
<br />
America missed a golden opportunity in Afghanistan to institute such a
enlightenment but that's because the U.S. government was exploiting 9/11
to seize an oil pipeline route they've never used, and to restore opium
production-the results you see on America's streets. That is because of
the enemy within that has weaponized the economy and government of the
United States against the very nation it serves.<br />
<br />
Only an armed Muslim women's freedom front championing the principles of
the American Revolution will stop Islamic imperialism. Only a Second
American Revolution will change this country's foreign policy to
indoctrinate, arm and support such a movement. Only we, the People of
America taking back our nation from an utterly corrupt U.S. government,
corporate, and financial combination that seeks our very destruction and
setting things right can even begin to make this happen. Revolution is
the only answer.<br />
<br />
Revolution can only happen when we who love and defend Freedom adopt
strategies and tactics that will bring us victory. As a longtime
observer of the Freedom Movement and active participant for eight years I
have attempted to educate Patriotic Americans on such strategies...
most importantly that they work on themselves before affecting their
locales, and building up from grass roots, but the Patriot Movement is
under solid control of hucksters, egomaniacs, and COINTEL operatives
working for the very government/business/financial combination that
isn't just above the law but IS the law and writes the laws that have
brought Our America to the brink of destruction.<br />
<br />
We cannot stand against imperial Islam until we can stand to begin with.<br />

<strong>The alleged killing last year of Osama bin Laden, which
fittingly occurred in a mansion within 1,000 yards of a Pakistani
military training academy, signaled the winding down of the biggest
psychological warfare operation ever prosecuted by the global oligarchy.</strong><br />

<strong></strong> <strong><span style="color: maroon; font-size: small;">The Patsies</span></strong><br />
<strong>In the wake of the 911 terror attacks</strong>, Americans
everywhere recited the collective mantra, “Things will never be the
same”. Actually, things had changed very little.<br />
Fifteen of the nineteen alleged hijackers were born in Saudi Arabia, where the <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=house%20of%20saud%20&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pbs.org%2Fwgbh%2Fpages%2Ffrontline%2Fshows%2Fsaud%2Fcron%2F&ei=dfM0UfGvPIaIygGTvoFI&usg=AFQjCNGgQt1FHIYrPwxQI313QmxbX4y4Uw&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">House of Saud </a>dictatorship
has financed Muslim Brotherhood modern-day Assassins and CIA covert
operations since its inception for the benefit of the Eight Families
banking cartel and their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Their-Bankers-Persian-Gulf/dp/1453757732" target="_blank">Four Horsemen </a>– whose ARAMCO oilfields are protected <em>via </em>US military occupation of the Kingdom.<br />
The Assassins this time were members of <em>al Qaeda</em>, the <em>cadre</em> of former Afghan <em>mujahideen</em>
fighters that the CIA trained, then used to carry out proxy wars in
Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Indian Kashmir,
East Turkistan Province in China, Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Algeria and Uzbekistan. The CIA brought <em>al Qaeda </em>spiritual
leader and Anwar Sadat assassin Sheik Abdul Rahman to the US to recruit
Islamic fundamentalists willing to fight in these CIA wars. [1]<br />
<em>Al Qaeda</em> was headed by Osama bin Laden, who built the CIA’s <em>mujahideen </em>training
camps in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was House of Saud point man in
recruiting Arab fighters for CIA shenanigans in Central Asia and the
Balkans. Bin Laden’s brother Salem was a business partner and good
friend of <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=james%20bath&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJames_R._Bath&ei=u_M0UfWNIZOByQHk6YBA&usg=AFQjCNG_330atkggr2Bo2ym9ZM37HRzpNw&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">James Bath</a>.
His father Mohammed provided seed money for Bath’s good friend George
W. Bush’s Arbusto Energy. The bin Laden family fortune was managed by
Carlyle Group principal George Bush Sr.<br />

operations since its inception for the benefit of the Eight Families
banking cartel and their Four Horsemen</em></strong></blockquote>
According to a PBS spokeswoman, within three days of 911 both
Vice-President Dick Cheney and Queen Elizabeth II called PBS to request
copies of two video documentaries the station had done – one on bin
Laden and the other on Islam. Since US intelligence knew all it needed
to know of their foot soldier bin Laden, Cheney and Her Majesty were
more concerned with what the US public had already been told of the
Saudi paymaster so they could factor this into their forthcoming public
relations blitz.<br />
Bin Laden’s second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri heads Egyptian
Islamic Jihad – a Muslim Brotherhood front whose assassins had help from
the CIA in escaping justice in Egypt so they could go to Albania to
fight with the Kosovo Liberation Army. Al-Zawahiri’s sidekick Ali
Mohammed came to the US in 1984. He trained terrorists in Brooklyn and
Jersey City on weekends and instructed US Special Forces at Fort Bragg.
[2] He was later involved in the US Embassy bombings in Africa.<br />
<strong>According to the FBI</strong>, five of the nineteen alleged 911 hijackers were trained by the US military – three at <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=pensacola%20naval%20air%20station%20&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDMQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNaval_Air_Station_Pensacola&ei=2fM0Ufm3I4KEygHI84DAAQ&usg=AFQjCNES_FTpxSbvKOkqMveWD-RDKoSEpw&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Pensacola Naval Air Station </a>and two at other facilities. [3]<br />
Alleged 911 ring leader Mohammed Atta received the $100,000 he needed
to plan and carry out the terror attacks from Standard Chartered
accounts in gold bullion haven Dubai – where US Naval vessels often
berth. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=standard%20chartered%20&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CEUQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStandard_Chartered&ei=z_I0Ud6IA6fRyQHjpoDIBA&usg=AFQjCNHW2RkKIUitc900T9p06NDSsdCg4A&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Standard Chartered </a>was
founded by the Illuminated Cecil Rhodes. The bank is one of five London
“gold-fixers” and prints Hong Kong’s currency. These accounts were
controlled by 911 paymaster and UAE citizen Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi.<br />
According to British MP Michael Meacher in an article for <em>The Guardian, </em>M16
recruited up to 200 British Muslims to fight in Afghanistan and
Yugoslavia. Meacher says a Dehli-based foundation describes Omar Saeed
Sheikh – the man who beheaded US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 – as a
British agent.<br />

Three of the alleged 911 hijakers were trained by the US Navy at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida.</div>
</div>
Meacher says it was Sheikh who – at the behest of Pakistani ISI
General Mahmood Ahmed – had al-Hawsawi wire $100,000 to Mohammed Atta
before 911, a fact confirmed by Dennis Lomel, director of the FBI’s
financial crimes unit. [4] An October 11, 2001 article in <em>The Times of India</em>
also corroborates this.At a June 25, 2002 conference in Calgary,
University of Ottawa Economics Professor Michel Chossudovsky and former
Los Angeles police officer Michael Ruppert further corroborated this
information based on ABC News reports.They added that ISI Chief Ahmad
was in Washington on September 4, 2001 meeting with CIA Director <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=george%20tenet&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGeorge_Tenet&ei=dvU0UerNFcPRyAHQ8YCgAg&usg=AFQjCNHXpQx7yzzOmszzKymWWBICFtD0pQ&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">George Tenet</a>,
Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Senator Joe Biden (D-DE)
and the heads of two Congressional intelligence committees. [5]<br />
The <em>New York Times </em>reported on February 17, 2002 that the
two congressmen Ahmed met with were Joint Senate Intelligence Committee
Co-Chairs, Florida Senators Bob Graham and Porter Goss. Goss is a
former CIA operative and was appointed Bush Jr. CIA Director in 2004.<br />
<strong>When President Clinton and Defense Secretary Cohen</strong> had earlier pressed UAE officials to crack down on the <em>al Qaeda </em>money
shuffle, a senior UAE sheik told them it was difficult to discern
between criminal money and that going to fight CIA proxy wars in Bosnia
and Chechnya. [6]<br />
Ruppert cited a BBC report by <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=gregg%20palast%20bbc&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CD0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGreg_Palast&ei=3vY0Udb3I4PiyAHMnIBY&usg=AFQjCNG-8RrbimqniHir-ckI7odCyOVr5w&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Greg Palast</a>,
which details how the Bush Administration ordered curtailment of an FBI
investigation of the bin Laden family. Minneapolis FBI whistle-blower
Colleen Rowley and Robert Wright – who worked for the bureau in Chicago –
described the same unnamed superior who “obstructed”, “deliberately
thwarted” and “intimidated” their attempts to track down US-based <em>al Qaeda </em>operatives.<br />
Wright was investigating an<em> al Qaeda</em> money laundering ring
based in Chicago that may have been plugged into the Nugan Hand/Bank of
Cicero/CIA/P-2 black network based in Chicago – often disguising its
dirty transactions <em>via </em>the freewheeling Chicago Mercantile Exchange.<br />
Chossudovsky stated his belief that 911 served the US in its quest to
control both Central Asian oil supplies and the Afghan opium trade. He
told the Calgary crowd, “Osama bin Laden is and remains to this day a
CIA asset. Even now his <em>al Qaeda</em> operatives are working with the <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=kosovo%20liberation%20army%20&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FKosovo_Liberation_Army&ei=FPk0Uei5J4XOyAG3_4CoAQ&usg=AFQjCNE90Qj1obBG2y3HwH-bujcl03bUuw" target="_blank">Kosovo Liberation Army </a>who are US allies and with the US-backed forces in Macedonia. Members of <em>al Qaeda </em>have been protected as they moved into Kashmir where they are now fomenting conflict between India and Pakistan.”[7]<br />
<strong>Many of the alleged hijackers were in the country</strong> on legitimate US visas. Most were issued at the US consulate in <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=jeddah%2C%20saudi%20arabia&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJeddah&ei=hPg0UbruH8K6yQG_qIG4AQ&usg=AFQjCNF1ldmhKxabTQh5nc74TP3AOi6XOQ&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Jeddah, Saudi Arabia</a>.
According to Mike Springmann, Chief of the Visa Section at Jeddah
during the late 1980’s, CIA officials ran roughshod over the visa
operation, often overruling Springmann’s decisions not to issue visas to
people he considered dangerous. Often CIA officials would stamp the
questionable applicants’ visas themselves in clear violation of US law.
[8]<br />
Bush blocked Secret Service investigations into US-based <em>al-Qaeda </em>terrorist
“sleeper” cells while he continued to negotiate secretly with Afghan
Taliban officials. The last meeting, headed by Bush NSA and former
Unocal official Zalmay Khalilzad, was in August 2001, just five weeks
before the terror attacks. [9] The Unocal-led consortium offered the
Taliban, through current Afghan President Hamid Kharzai, $100 million to
run its natural gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to the Indian Ocean.
The Bush team offered additional aid to the Taliban, whom they’d already
given over $132 million in 2001, and told them, “You either accept our
offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs.”[10]<br />
Considering the history of CIA/<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Their-Bankers-Persian-Gulf/dp/1453757732" target="_blank">Four Horsemen</a>/Eight
Families treachery in the Middle East and the toll these schemes have
taken on the Arab world, one could easily interpret 911 as an Arab
response to US imperialism. The trouble is that explanation defies the
facts.<br />
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<strong>Mohammed Atta’s father</strong>, a prominent Cairo physician,
said his son was afraid of flying and insists that he was not a trained
pilot. Atta believes his son was kidnapped and made a patsy by the
Israeli Mossad. He believes Israelis used his son and the other 18
Arabs’ identities as cover to carry out the 911 plot because this would
turn Americans against the Arab world, enhance the Israeli bargaining
position <em>vis-à-vis </em>the Palestinians and draw the US further
into the Middle Eastern cauldron. Atta’s father stated, “This was done
by Mossad using American pilots.”<br />
Lending credence to the doctor’s charges is the assertion that the
official passenger flight logs for all four American and United flights
that became fuel-air bombs on 911 listed <em>no</em> Arab passengers. [11] The <em>Dallas Morning News</em>reported that in July 2001 a federal task force pulled the plug on over 500 Arab websites in the US when they raided<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=infocom%20corporation%20&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CDoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FInfoCom_Corporation&ei=yAA1UbeNGorqyQGa4YGAAg&usg=AFQjCNF-oIGryZHXosuWKNkWKPxaGkI5mw&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank"> InfoCom Corporation </a>in
Texas. Did the Feds want to silence cyber-chat concerning the actual
whereabouts of the “hijackers”? Reports emerged from the Arab world
that many of them had been sighted after 911.<br />
According to <a href="http://www.cia-drugs.com/symposium/speakers/hopsicker/index.html" target="_blank">Daniel Hopsicker </a>who wrote, <em>Welcome to Terrorland…, </em>Mohamed
Atta began working for the US government in Hamburg in 1992. He was
later enrolled in an elite officer training course at Maxwell Air Force
Base in Montgomery, AL. Hopsicker says Atta had pilot licenses from six
countries and wonders why, except to establish a paper trail, he would
even have needed to attend flight school. [12]<br />
Atta spoke Hebrew, snorted coke and lived with a stripper. He met
with various German and Swiss nationals just prior to 911 and was part
of an email discussion on the Middle East that included numerous
employees of US defense contractors. Atta and up to seven other 911
hijackers had received flight training at US military facilities.<br />
Most interestingly, Atta was part of an elite international exchange program run by the American/German Congress-<em>Bundestag </em>Program
– an organization with close ties to both David Rockefeller and Henry
Kissinger. The group funded Atta trips to Istanbul, Cairo and Damascus;
where he played the role of Islamic fundamentalist. [13]<br />
<strong>Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) wrote in his </strong>2005 book that
two weeks after 911 he presented a chart to the Bush Administration
showing that Atta and other hijackers were being monitored as part of
the Pentagon’s Able Danger program. In September 2006 the Pentagon
Inspector General put out a statement denying Atta’s existence on this
chart. An infuriated Weldon stated, “I am appalled that the DOD IG
would expect the American people to actually consider this a full and
thorough investigation”. [14]<br />
The Florida flight school where the 911 hijackers trained was <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=huffman%20aviation%20&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHuffman_Aviation&ei=svs0UdDPF-3AyQGSpIBA&usg=AFQjCNEkLe9ppPjTj1UkjYWROcQM6G8shQ&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Huffman Aviation </a>–
co-owned by Bill Clinton chum Wally Hilliard and Rudy Dekkers, who met
with Atta less than one month prior to 911. One Huffman employee told
Hopsicker, “Early on I gleaned that these guys had government
protection…They were let into the country for a specific purpose. It
was a business deal.”<br />
Huffman’s hangar at Venice Airport is used to maintain the planes of
Caribe Air, a known CIA-front airline that had twenty of its planes
seized by federal authorities at Mena, AR after they were found to have
curried billions of dollars worth of <em>contra</em> cocaine. Hopsicker
says Caribe could also be tied to Enron, since many of that now-defunct
company’s Caribbean tax shelters had the word “Caribe” in their name.

<strong><span style="color: maroon; font-size: small;">The Beneficiaries</span></strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.whodidit.org/new-sharon.jpg"><img alt="" class="lazy alignright data-lazy-ready" data-lazy-src="http://www.whodidit.org/new-sharon.jpg" data-lazy-type="image" height="242" src="http://www.whodidit.org/new-sharon.jpg" style="display: block;" width="210" /></a>While much of the Arab world’s </strong>mainstream
media echoed Atta’s father’s viewpoint, all US media – corporate and
progressive alike – dismissed these claims as “outrageous conspiracy
theories”. Yet no one could deny that Israel gained a great deal from
the 911 attacks. Israeli <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2754877.stm" target="_blank">Prime Minister Ariel Sharon </a>–
wanted in Belgium for war crimes – began targeting Palestinian leaders
for assassination as soon as Bush took office, causing US public support
for Israel to wane.<br />
Sharon used 911 to turn the tide, labeling all Palestinians, “bin
Laden terrorists”, and occupying yet more Palestinian territory. Bush
sent General Anthony Zinni to Tel Aviv as Middle East envoy to lend
legitimacy to Sharon’s aggression, while refusing to deal with
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. The Samuel Huntington CFR Clash of
Civilizations crowd had their pretext for a global war against Arabs
and Muslims.<br />
<strong>US defense giants reaped the 911 harvest</strong>. In
October 2001 Lockheed Martin led a consortium of corporations awarded
the largest single defense contract ever – a $200 billion deal to build
an F-35 joint strike fighter. The Lockheed-led group included Northrup
Grumman and several British companies including British Aerospace and
Rolls Royce. [16] Amidst the post-911 flag-waving frenzy, the
all-American bidder McDonnell Douglas would have seemed a more
discretionary choice.<br />
Defense stocks surged. Raytheon stock was up 36% in the month
following 911 while the rest of the stock market crashed. The hawks and
their generals pushed for huge Pentagon budget increases, some
advocating a $500 billion defense budget by 2005. In January 2002,
President Bush approved a defense budget of $317 billion. Three weeks
later he increased it to $379 billion, while setting a marker for a $471
billion defense budget by 2007.<br />
<strong>The money will line the pockets </strong>of the Eight
Families banking cartel which owns the defense companies, pockets
already deepened by Bush tax cut and the subsequent increase in US debt –
which the international bankers make a healthy living financing. Their
point man Bush – cousin to the House of Windsor – saw his dismal
approval ratings skyrocket to over 80% as a fear-driven US public
rallied around the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Their-Bankers-Persian-Gulf/dp/1453757732" target="_blank">Four Horsemen </a>President.<br />
The Rockefeller-controlled airlines, near bankruptcy before 911,
glad-handed their way to a $15 billion taxpayer bailout. The insurance
industry, railroads and travel industry soon got in line at the
government trough; their phony far-right anti-government venom
temporarily muted.<br />
The CIA was a major 911 beneficiary, marching out an array of “old
hands” like Richard Armitage, General Barry McCafferty and United Brands
grant recipient Major Andy Messing to extol the virtues of dealing with
unsavory underworld characters when gathering intelligence. The
Clinton Administration had clamped down on this common CIA practice
after revelations of CIA involvement in the Guatemalan death squad
murders of American citizens. CIA torture chambers were once again open
for business.<br />

</blockquote>
<strong>Global civil liberties were a major casualtyof 911</strong>.
Within a week of the attacks Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft
announced plans to unleash the CIA and FBI, expanding and combining
their already sweeping powers. With no public debate and near unanimous
Congressional approval – despite the fact that not one Congress member
read it – Bush gleefully signed the ironically-titled USA Patriot Act
into law, suspending big chunks of the US Constitution and bringing the
nation a step closer to outright martial law. Similar legislation was
passed in numerous other countries.<br />
Section 802 of the Patriot Act designated a federal crime broadly
defined as “domestic terrorism”, which cast a broad net over political
dissidents and seemed especially targeted at the growing ranks of
WTO/IMF protestors who have taken a frontal assault on the Eight
Families. Section 411 posed an ideological litmus test for foreigners
wishing to come to the US in a direct affront to the First Amendment.<br />
Section 215 obliterated the Fourth Amendment, allowing the FBI to
obtain a court order to seize a person’s “tangible things”, including
books, documents and computer disks; without suspecting that person of
wrongdoing and without informing that person of the seizure until well
after the fact. Section 218 gave the FBI a green light to spy on
domestic “enemies” and threatened to return the US to the dark days of
J. Edgar Hoover. [17]<br />
Later Ashcroft marched out his new TIPS program, which encouraged
mailmen, utility workers and neighbors to spy on their fellow citizens.
In November 2002 the Bush Administration pushed through the new
Homeland Security Act, whose name conjures memories of Hitler’s <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=%22office%20of%20fatherland%20security%22&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CD8QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthehuffingtonriposte.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F12%2Fthe-department-of-homeland-security-dhs.html&ei=JPw0UZ_zPI-MyAG4voFg&usg=AFQjCNE0-NdSnVNY29RwIWD7a8Dpa4mk5Q&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Office of Fatherland Security</a>, which he established within one month of the staged <em>Reichstag</em>fire and later became the SS. [18]<br />
<strong>One provision of the act created</strong> an Information
Awareness Office, which would compile a computer database on every
American. The office emerged from the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency – a JASON Society affiliate – that earlier spawned both
the Internet and stealth technology. Heading the office was Admiral
John Poindexter, the five-count convicted felon of Iran/<em>Contra </em>fame.<br />

an even more draconian version of the Patriot Act being drafted at

the draft called for secret arrests – never before allowed in US history
– and <em>carte blanche </em>deportation of legal immigrants. Another
provision allowed chemical companies to quit disclosing toxic emissions
to the communities in which they operated.<br />
As of February 2003 there had been over 300 rollbacks of the Freedom
of Information Act. [19] In 2004 Patriot Act II passed. Provisions
included a National ID. In 2003 the General Accounting Office dropped
its lawsuit against Vice President Cheney, which would have forced him
to reveal which energy executives he met with secretly to craft the Bush
Energy policy. The right of US citizens to acquire information by
which they could hold their government accountable was seriously eroded
by the events of 911 and the culture of secrecy that emerged in its
aftermath.<br />
<strong>But it was the Eight Families banking cartel </strong>that
had the most to gain from dialing 911. The day of the terror attacks
there was an unusually heavy volume of financial transactions being
handled at the WTC. The bulk of investment bankers killed in the WTC
worked for competitors of the Big Six old money investment banks.
Cantor Fitzgerald was particularly hard hit.<br />
Merrill Lynch had its own building nearby, as did Deutsche Bank.
Lehman Brothers moved from the WTC to a newly built headquarters just
prior 911. Only seven weeks before 911 a group of wealthy oligarch
investors terminated their lease on the WTC. Investor Larry Silverstein
bought a 99-year lease on the property in July 2001, while the old
money slid out from under it. Silverstein filed a $7.2 billion
insurance claim after the tragedy. The Eight Families insurance
companies involved offered only $3.6 billion.<br />
The President’s brother, Marvin Bush, was on the board of directors
at Securacom – now Stratesec – from 1993-2000. The company provided
security for the WTC, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines.
It had the security contract at Los Alamos Laboratories, when there had
been a number of security breaches at that facility. The firm is
backed by a Kuwaiti-American investment firm known as KuwAm. Current
clients include the US Army, US Navy, US Air Force and Department of
Justice. They carry a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the GSA – meaning
that no other company can compete for these security contracts.<br />
<strong>According to David Icke’s bombshell</strong> book <em>Children of the Matrix</em>, <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=securacom%20&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStratesec&ei=qv00UdPcHsPRyAHQ8YCgAg&usg=AFQjCNFVP0sXmjFBBLRJM2751866_6fLtw&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Securacom </a>is
a subsidiary of Crown Agency, a British Crown entity which Icke says
also owns the Agha Khan Foundation. Khan is based in Pakistan and is
spiritual torch-bearer for Islamism, from which groups like <em>al Qaeda </em>and the Taliban take their cues. This important fact points to Buckingham Palace involvement in the prosecution of 911.<br />
Marvin Bush also sat on the board at HCC Insurance Holdings until
November 2002. That company carried some of the insurance on the WTC.
Brother Jeb – Governor of Florida – declared a state of emergency in his
state one week prior to 911. He personally escorted the alleged
hijackers’ flight school documents to Washington, DC shortly after the
attacks. [20]<br />
<strong>New York Mayor Rudolf Guliani</strong> was portrayed as the
hero of 911. Yet on November 2, 2001 Guliani ordered New York
firefighters to thin their ranks at ground zero. The day before, 200
tons of gold buried in vaults beneath the WTC belonging to Silver
Triangle gold kingpin/drug money laundry Bank of Nova Scotia was
recovered. Gold prices soon began their meteoric rise. The Bank of Nova
Scotia has extensive ties to both Israel and the House of Windsor.<br />
No one in the fawning corporate media bothered to ask Guliani where
that gold went. Nor did they ask him why. According to Internet
reports, he had ordered 6,000 gallons of fuel stored beneath WTC #7 to
supply his personal bomb shelter. [21]<br />
The explosion of this fuel may have caused WTC #7 – which was clearly
not hit by an airplane – to collapse, destroying sensitive
Enron-related CIA and FBI documents stored there. The CIA ran an
undercover station on the 47th floor of #7. The 23rd and 24th floors of
the WTC North Tower housed FBI covert operations and boatloads of
agency documents.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong><em>According to David Icke’s bombshell book
Children of the Matrix, Securacom is a subsidiary of Crown Agency, a
British Crown entity which Icke says also owns the Agha Khan Foundation.
Khan is based in Pakistan and is spiritual torch-bearer for Islamism,
from which groups like al Qaeda and the Taliban take their cues. This
important fact points to Buckingham Palace involvement in the
prosecution of 911.</em></strong></blockquote>
<strong>Louie Cacchioli, a firefighter with Engine 47 </strong>in
Harlem said he was in an elevator to the spook-occupied 24th floor of
the North Tower, when he heard explosions. His crew – the first in that
building – believes bombs were set off inside the towers.<br />
In a statement to the <em>Albuquerque Journal </em>shortly after the
disaster, Van Romero, Vice-President for Research at the world-renowned
New Mexico Institute for Mining and Technology, agreed. Romero, one of
the world’s foremost demolitions experts, stated, “My opinion is, based
on the videotapes, that after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center
there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the
towers to collapse.”[22]<br />
Numerous experts agreed that jet fuel alone burns too fast to have
melted the massive steel structure of the WTC on its own. The orderly
nature of the collapse of both towers also begged inquiry. The
contractor awarded the $7 billion job of cleaning up the WTC rubble was
eerily named <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=controlled%20demolition%20inc&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CEAQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FControlled_Demolition%2C_Inc.&ei=o_80UeDTDeaHygHn44DIAQ&usg=AFQjCNFwdlnzvzfWwPDZxrwG7R5llNc6_w&bvm=bv.43148975,d.aWc" target="_blank">Controlled Demolition </a>–
the same outfit that quickly disposed of the evidence of the Alfred T.
Murrah Federal Building after the Oklahoma City bombing.<br />
<strong>WTC scrap metal was expeditiously shipped to China</strong>.
Brigham Young physics Professor Steven Jones, who studied the WTC
rubble, says he found traces of thermite explosives all over the stuff.
In September 2006, Brigham Young placed Jones on paid leave for his
efforts at seeking the truth.<br />
Was <em>Time</em>’s 2001 Man of the Year Rudy Guliani part of a
covert operation to consolidate Crown/Eight Families control over
Persian Gulf and Central Asian oil? In February 2002 Guliani was
knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.<br />

20 Ingredients To Memorize and Avoid In ANY Food You Consume</h2>
<em><strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #666666;">MARCO TORRES</span></span> </strong></em><br />
Artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners have
saturated the food supply for more than four decades. We are on the
precipice of discovering what our toxic food industry has done to our
bodies and our environment. There is a heightened awareness and a sense
of caution on the minds of most grocery shoppers, so let’s make it
easier for them. Here are 20 of the most common toxic ingredients you
must avoid in foods. The discovery of even one of these ingredients on a
food label means “stay away.”<br />

culprits, but these are the most commonly used by the food industry with
little regard to consumer’s health.J. Crofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17804199859716308843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11034415.post-73574277361716345882013-03-06T10:25:00.000-08:002013-03-06T10:25:12.284-08:003/6/13 BLOGROLL<div>

*"Eat up, kids. The Predator with the Hellfires could be here any minute." *
Rand Paul: Drone strike during dinner
I was talking to David Codrea this morning and he brought up a good point.
Don't focus on Holder's claim of domestic drone strike legitimacy and think
all he's talking about is drone killings. Understand that if the claim
extends to drones it extends to every killing tactic and platform
available. What Holder is claiming is the right to kill American citizens
by executive diktat using any means necessary -- including federal police

I had a fair question raised in comments the other day about the time I
spend on CQB when so many Patriots have never stepped on a dojo mat and
have no experience with close-quarters reality.
My answer is simple: Most fights get to CQB range in fewer than seconds,
and most are decided in fewer than 3 seconds from the moment of contact.
If you are at contact range and you don't end him in 3 seconds or fewer,
he'll have the advantage faster than you can blink. And, most of my life
experience is CQB - not rifle range contact.
But one would be mistaken to conclude that Japanese Mast...</span> <a href="http://iiipercent.blogspot.com/2013/03/eyes-muzzle-always-same-point.html" target="post"> more » </a> </div>

I believe it was Mister Franklin who said it best: Three may keep a secret so long as two are dead.<br />
<br />
If you think your dear wife of 40 years will keep that secret of yours, you are probably right...until the moment the man with the Luger points it at one of her children or grandbabies.<br />
<br />
When I was camping with the Feds, you'll simply have to trust me when I say the intel network in place by the population was vastly superior to anything and everything had by the keepers of the keys - and they had audio and video and even snitches. You see, it's easy to spot the snitches and use them to your advantage. Anything you wanted, from shrimp to DVDs that had not yet been released to theaters to women (complete with tent outside of camera range) was available. The currency might surprise you. "I know a guy outside who lives in your AO, I need to get him a message..."<br />
<br />
What does any of this have to do with my recent posts about Drones tightening the net and a deliberate conspiracy to deny your 2A without you ever pointing a rifle at the culprit?<br />

In an article I will link below, the statement is made that "...avoidance and Detection systems for drones are still 2-5 years away."<br />

But Patriots won't do that. Some of you are preparing for toe-to-toe slugfests. Some of you are preparing for shoot & scoot asymmetric fights. Sadly, some of you are even preparing to bury your gear "...for use later..."<br />

For those very few who have what it takes to gear up, go forth into Harm's Way and offer double-taps, the most critical resource you will have is not your slicked & Tricked (TM) AR or the ammo to feed it. It will be Intel, as it has always been.<br />

<blockquote>
<b>Only Jim's article stopped this idiocy.</b></blockquote>

At the time, the Washington Times picked up the story which was in turn picked up by Senator Charles Grassley:</blockquote>

<blockquote>
ATF'S PURCHASE OF 22 OV-10D AIRCRAFT (Senate - July 18, 1995)</blockquote>
<blockquote>
[Congressional Record, Page: S10188)</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, a news article in this morning's Washington Times says the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms recently purchased 22 OV-10D aircraft from the Defense Department.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
These aircraft were used by the Marine Corps in the Vietnam war for close air support in combat. They were also used in Operation Desert Storm for night observation.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The aircraft are heavily weapons-capable, especially from a law-enforcement perspective. ATF says the planes have been stripped of their weapons. Their purpose, according to ATF, is for surveillance. The planes can locate people on the ground by detecting their body heat.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
It's no secret that the ATF is undergoing intense public scrutiny. It has done some real bone-headed things. It has been criticized for enforcing the law while crossing the line of civil rights protections.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
ATF's credibility will be even further tested the next 2 weeks when joint committee hearings are held in the other body on the Waco matter. And the Senate Judiciary Committee also will hold hearings on Waco in September.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
I raise this issue today, Mr. President, because the purchase of these aircraft in the current climate might continue to feed the public's skepticism, and erode the pubic's confidence in our law enforcement agencies. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
For that reason, it is incumbent upon ATF to fully disclose and fully inform the public as to the purchase of these aircraft. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
First, what, specifically, will they be used for?</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Second, where will they be located? </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Third, what assurances are there that the planes will remain unarmed? The sooner these questions are answered by ATF--openly and candidly--the less chance there is that the public's skepticism will grow.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Mr. President, the continued credibility of the ATF is on the line, in my judgment. At times such as these, when scrutiny is at its highest, the best strategy is to go on the offense. Spare no expense in disclosing fully and swiftly. Because full and swift disclosure is the first step in restoring credibility. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
The ATF's credibility is important not just for itself, but for law enforcement in general. There is much work to do to restore the public's trust and confidence. I hope that ATF will step up to the challenge and provide the necessary assurances.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Washington Times article, written by Jerry Seper, be printed in the Record. </blockquote>

There being no objection, the article was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<b>ATF Gets 22 Planes To Aid Surveillance</b></blockquote>
<b> </b> <br />
<blockquote>
<b>WEAPONS-CAPABLE AIRCRAFT REPAINTED</b></blockquote>
<b> </b><br />
<blockquote>
<b>(BY JERRY SEPER)</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has obtained 22 counterinsurgency, heavy-weapons-capable military aircraft.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The 300-mph OV-10D planes--one of several designations used by the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War for gunfire and missile support of ground troops, and by the Air Force during Operation Desert Storm for night observation--have been transferred from the Defense Department to ATF.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The turboprop aircraft, which will be used for day and night surveillance support, were designed to locate people on the ground through their body heat.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>When used by the military services, the planes were equipped with infrared tracking systems, ground-mapping radar, laser range-finders, gun sights and 20mm cannons.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>ATF spokeswoman Susan McCarron confirmed yesterday that the agency had obtained the aircraft but noted they had been stripped of their armament. She said that nine of the OV-10Ds were operational and that the remaining 13 were being used for spare parts.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>`We have nine OV-10Ds that are unarmed; they have no weapons on them,' Ms. McCarron said. `They are being used for surveillance and photography purposes. The remainder are being used for spare parts.'</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Ms. McCarron said the aircraft were obtained by ATF from the Defense Department `when DOD was getting rid of them,' and that other agencies also had received some of the airplanes.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>General Service Administration records show that some of the unarmed aircraft also were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management for use in survey work, while others went to the California Forestry Department for use in spotting fires and in directing ground and aerial crews in combating them.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Other models of the OV-10 also are being used by officials in Washington state for nighttime surveillance of fishing vessels suspected of overfishing the coastal waters.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The transfer of the aircraft to ATF comes at a time of heightened public skepticism and congressional scrutiny of the agency's ability to enforce the law without trampling on the rights of citizens.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The ATF's image suffered mightily in the aftermath of its 1993 raid and subsequent shootout at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, during which four agents and six Davidians were killed. It sustained another public-relations blow after it was revealed that ATF agents helped organize a whites-only `Good O' Boys Roundup' in the Tennessee hills.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Hearings of the Waco matter begin tomorrow in the House. A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the racist trappings of the roundup is scheduled for Friday.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>One Senate staffer yesterday said there was `some real interest' in the ATF's acquisition of the aircraft, and that questions `probably will be asked very soon of the agency' about the specifics of their use and locations where they have been assigned.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>According to federal law enforcement sources and others, including two airline pilots who have seen and photographed the ATF planes, two of the combat-capable aircraft--known as `Broncos'--have been routed to Shawnee, Okla., where they were painted dark blue over the past month at an aircraft maintenance firm known as Business Jet Designs Inc.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Michael Pruitt, foreman at Business Jet Designs, confirmed yesterday that two of the ATF aircraft had been painted at the Shawnee site and that at least one more of the OV-10Ds `was on the way.' Mr. Pruitt said the aircraft were painted dark blue with red and white trim. The sources said the paint jobs cost the ATF about $20,000 each.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>The firm's owner, Johnny Patterson, told associates last month he expected to be painting at least 12 of the ATF aircraft but was unsure whether he could move all of them fast enough through his shop. Mr. Patterson was out of town yesterday and not available for comment. </b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>According to the sources, the ATF's OV-10Ds, recently were overhauled under the government's Service Life Extension Program and were equipped with a state-of-the-art forward-looking infrared system that allows the pilot to locate and identify targets at nights--similar to the tracking system used on the Apache advanced attack helicopter.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>Designed by Rockwell International, the OV-10D originally was outfitted with two 7.62mm M-60C machine guns, each with 500 rounds of ammunition. It also was modified to carry one Sidewinder missile under each wing, Snakeye bombs, fire bombs, rocket packages and cluster bombs.</b></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<b>The OV-10D can carry a 20mm gun turret with 1,500 rounds of ammunition. During the Vietnam War, two OV-10Ds were used for a variety of missions during a six-week period and flew more than 200 missions in which they were credited with killing 300 enemy troops and saving beleaguered outposts from being overrun by the communists. -- [Page: S10189]</b></blockquote>

<h3>
My life as a tyrant </h3>
<div class="chronodata">
15Jan13</div>
</div>
I’m going to say something that will undoubtedly cause me to lose some police officer friends. But I feel it needs to be said anyway. I’m willing to take the heat for it. <br />
Keep in mind, I became a police officer because I wanted to be a good guy. Even though we’ve all seen reports of police brutality and corruption, I still believe we cops are the good guys. I’ve seen cops perform brave, selfless acts for strangers on countless occasions. Even the worst cops I’ve ever known would risk their lives to defend the innocent. But I have to say this anyway. Before you start throwing shoes, hear me out. I have a good reason for saying it. <br />
If you think our police are no threat to your freedom, you’re living in a fantasy world. <br />
Now I’ll explain what I mean. I worked for the United Nations Police Mission in Kosovo for eighteen months. I wasn’t there as a soldier. I was a civilian cop, living in town, basically a Kosovo PD officer. For part of my tour I worked patrol with a group of international officers and local police. We had officers from America, the UK, Germany and Greece, plus local Kosovar Albanians. The Americans were regular street cops from police departments all over the United States.<br />
One of the American officers in my station came from a very wealthy suburban police department. My cop stories were about murders, fights and chases; his were about citizens having garage sales without permits. For some reason, citizens selling things without permits aggravated him to no end.<br />
In postwar Kosovo, many tens of thousands of war refugees lived in the capital. Not enough jobs existed to support them all. Many of them became vendors in a sprawling, dirty bazaar. They supported their families by selling cheap Turkish and Pakistani housewares and trinkets. Under old Yugoslav law, which was still the legal standard, those vendors had to have permits. Few bothered to stand in line at a dilapidated government building to pay for a permit.<br />
This officer – I’ll call him Joe – became infuriated every time he patrolled the bazaar. He’d find vendors without permits, then ticket and berate them. He’d make note of other illegal vendors so he could ticket them later. He’d even drive through the bazaar off-duty to spot illegal vendors for future targeting. He’d vent his anger about illegal vendors at us, which always made me laugh. I didn’t care the least bit about vendors without permits, and thought Joe would eventually get over it. I was wrong.<br />
Joe got so mad at illegal vendors that he researched Yugoslav law. We had been advised not to do anything that violated the Bill of Rights, but officially Yugoslav law was still in effect. And Joe discovered he could use Yugoslav law to do something about those damn illegal vendors.<br />
Joe put a plan together. Officers from a couple of stations, along with some NATO troops, would go through the bazaar, identify which vendors had no permits, and confiscate all their merchandise. Local Albanian Kosovo Police Service (KPS) officers would assist. A large NATO truck would follow the officers so they could load all the confiscated items. All the seized property would immediately be donated to charity organizations.<br />
When I heard the plan, I was amazed. Then I got angry. Why would anyone, in a country which had suffered through a horrible war less than two years earlier, think vendors without permits were such a big deal? We didn’t have a crime problem in the bazaar, the only reason we were going in there was because Officer Joe had a personal issue with the vendors. And wouldn’t an operation like that violate people’s rights?<br />
I argued against the operation, and was overruled. Since Yugoslav law allowed it, we were doing it. I was ordered to take my team of KPS officers and participate. <br />
The day of the operation, I forced myself to show up for work. My KPS officers were angry, frustrated and hesitant. They didn’t want to do to their people what we were about to make them do. But their jobs and livelihood, like mine, depended on following those orders. So we walked out of the station toward the bazaar.<br />
An officer from a European country met me outside the bazaar, held out a stack of papers and sternly ordered, “Take these. You’ll need them to document what you confiscate.”<br />
I kept my hands down. “I’m not taking them. I think this is wrong. We can’t just take people’s property.”<br />
The officer held the papers out further. “It doesn’t matter. They’ve been warned. Take the forms.”<br />
I didn’t move, or respond. The officer maintained his stern demeanor for a few seconds. Then, seeing that I wasn’t going along with it, he backed down. <br />
“Okay, fine. Just take some forms, in case you change your mind.”<br />
I took a few forms and stuck them in my pocket. The next time they came out, later that afternoon, I dumped them in the trash. <br />
The operation began. Dozens of officers entered the bazaar, followed by NATO soldiers and their cargo truck. The vendors initially didn’t know what was happening. Then cops walked up to stalls and asked for permits. Nobody had them. The cops grabbed everything they had and threw it into the back of the truck.<br />
Hundreds of vendors picked up their wares and ran. The slow ones were accosted and stripped of their possessions. KPS officers swarmed me, saying, “We can’t do this! This is what the Serbs used to do!” I stood back, watching the chaos in angry silence, and said something in Albanian. It was a phrase I never in my life expected to say.<br />
“<i>Ne jeme komunista sot.</i>” We are communists today.<br />
Our KPS officers were ordered, forced, to join in. They grudgingly helped take the property, although a few from another station were enthusiastic about it. Customers in the bazaar stood close by and yelled insults at the KPS officers, or screamed things like “Why are you doing this?” One KPS officer almost got into a fight he didn’t want to be in, over something he didn’t want to do, with one of the customers. Guilt was obvious on the KPS officer’s face. That was hard to watch.<br />
I stayed back. Officer Joe, the illegal vendor hater, picked out an old man selling bananas. The old man, who looked about eighty but was probably younger, struggled to pick up boxes of bananas before the truck arrived. Officer Joe reached the old man’s stall, tore a box from the old man’s hands and threw it in the truck. The old man grabbed the next box. Joe fought it away.<br />
I remember standing there in impotent frustration, thinking, <i>So now we’re literally wrestling food away from old men. This is disgusting.</i><br />
I finally managed to grab a handful of KPS officers and leave. I stayed at the station until the operation ended, angry at what we had done and at myself for being part of it. I had stood by and done nothing as a fellow cop turned us into petty tyrants. That still bothers me.<br />
Joe beamed with pride when he came back to the station. As he promised, all the confiscated property was donated that day. No vendors had been ticketed. None received receipts for their property. None had recourse to recover what had been taken. If police did that here, they would be charged with a crime.<br />
Later that day I argued my way up the chain of command that the operation had been wrong, we shouldn’t have done it and should never do it again. An Irish officer agreed with me. But a senior American officer listened to me with a disinterested expression and said, “Look man, it’s legal here. So I don’t have a problem with it.”<br />
I learned a lot from that operation. Prior to it, I had been something of an idealist about cops. I thought American cops would go by what’s right and wrong instead of looking for what they can legally get away with. I know now that cops like Joe have no problem violating people’s rights, as long as they have some “official” way to do it. <br />
Maybe you’re thinking, “But this was in another country, so it’s okay.” I don’t think so. I took an oath to defend the Constitution, not to enforce any law no matter what it is. If I go to Afghanistan as a cop, I’m not going to beat women for walking the street without a male relative, even if it’s legal there.<br />
So why do I tell this story now? This might seem like an abrupt topic change, but it isn’t. It’s directly related.<br />
I keep hearing we don’t need the 2nd Amendment. I keep hearing the 2nd Amendment is an anachronism. I keep hearing that it was written for a time long past, when we had to worry about foreign invasion and government tyranny. I keep hearing the 2nd Amendment should be repealed because there’s no threat of tyranny today.<br />
I’ll agree that we don’t currently worry about foreign invasion. But we ALWAYS have a worry about government tyranny. Don’t tell me, “it can’t happen here.” I know better. I was there when Officer Joe stole people’s property, because he had a personal vendetta and knew he could get away with it. Don’t tell me police officers won’t engage in tyranny. I’ve seen it.<br />

<br />As more and more cities, counties, districts, and states across America falsely declare their near- insolubility, bankruptcy warnings, fiscal deficits, and budgetary quandaries, I am left with the sinking feeling that “the people” just can’t wrap their heads around how to point out these misleading and downright fallacious claims made by their councils, mayors, and professional con-men in places of public trust.<br />
And personally, I’m tired of watching…<br />
So today I want to share with you a simple way to factually stand before your local or state political “leaders” and give indisputable proof that, when stating the “facts” about their own budget shortfalls, limited choices, and necessary raising of your hard-earned monies as taxation (revenue) to “balance the budget”, your own little criminal syndicate of elected mayors and council men and women are lying bold-faced to the entire citizenry through the act of subterfuge and omission.<br />
This little factoid is uniform throughout the entirety of the financial structure of government, as reported in the audited Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and required by Federal and State laws. It is always reported in the same fashion and under the same heading as all other governments (municipal corporations). The figures are not disputable. The truth is unshakable. And yet the doublespeak will never end… For even as you present this one simple line item to the scoundrels themselves behind their raised and protective pedestals, they will still attempt to deny what is undeniable, be it in ignorance or in deceit; usually a mix of both.<br />
So, here it is… a tool for all people to easily use:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1:</div>
First of all, you must find your city/county/district/or state CAFR, which can sometimes be challenging in and of itself.<br />
A search on your favorite search engine of “Your City” “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report” “Year” will generally do the trick. You may need to add the state after the city, or you may need to go to your government’s website to find these CAFR’s. If they are not to be found online, then your government is required to hand over a hard-copy or digital copy to you upon request. It’s the law, folks!<br />
Now that you have the CAFR in front of you, you are probably overwhelmed with all of the nonsensical figures, financial wizardry, and creative accounting that is presented in over 100 pages of a pure accounting nightmare.<br />
But don’t worry, you can ignore all that. For our purposes, we are only concerned with one single page of this entire report. And this page is specifically listed in the index as the “<strong>STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS</strong>“. This page is generally in the first 10-30 pages of the CAFR report, and will always be listed in the index.<br />
For the purposes of this lesson, here is an example CAFR from the City of Pacifica, Ca.I found this with a search parameter of “Pacifica Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2011″, and clicked on the 5th link down which took me to the finance department of the “<strong>City Of Pacifica</strong>” website.<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="color: red;"><strong>LINK –></strong></span> <a href="http://www.cityofpacifica.org/depts/finance/cafrs/default.asp">http://www.cityofpacifica.org/depts/finance/cafrs/default.asp</a></div>
Click on the “2011″ link to open the CAFR .pdf, and go to the index.<br />
Here you will see, as with all other CAFR reports, an entry for the “<strong>STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS</strong>“, listed under the FINANCIAL SECTION, and under “GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS”. This tells us to go to page 17 of this particular Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to find our “statement of net assets”.<br />
That’s it! This is the hardest part of the whole process.<br />
Now breathe… it’s all simple from here on in – and quite an eye-opener!!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2:</div>
Now that we are on page 17 (or your own CAFR page listing the “STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS” graph), we see a page full of large figures.<br />
Don’t worry… you don’t need to know these. They are irrelevant to our goal. Fortunately, we are only concerned with the three or four line items that prove the budget lie and omission of the CAFR facts.<br />
What we see here is a statement of three financial columns.<br />
1. “Assets”<br />
2. “Liabilities”<br />
3. (Total) Net Assets.<br />
In basic accounting, we add up the “ASSETS” and then subtract the “LIABILITIES”, which gives us our balance called “NET ASSETS”.<br />
But we must remember, there is nothing at all “basic” about government accounting. In fact, it is the most complicated structure of obfuscation I’ve ever encountered. Berny Madoff would even be proud…<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3:</div>
Now that we are familiar with the layout of this graph, and since we already know that comprehending government accounting is like untangling a mile-long set of Christmas lights that have been kicked around by a kindergarten class that just drank 20 gallons of Coca-Cola, we can fortunately find the few line items we actually need quite easily here.<br />
Now, under the ASSETS column, we see that TOTAL ASSETS are listed as:<br />
———————————————————<br />
<strong>Governmental Activities</strong>: <span style="color: red;"><strong>$103,806,744</strong></span><br />
<strong>Business-Type Activities:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$57,517,150</strong></span><br />
<strong>Totals:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$161,323,894</strong></span><br />
———————————————————<br />
***Note: “Business-Type Activities” may also be listed as “Non-Governmental Activities” or similar language. This represents government acting in the capacity of a corporation offering a “service” to the people, but not as “taxpayers”. Instead, this is a business that earns money, and the taxpayers are instead “customers” of government. In this way, government wears two hats. Often, as in Utah with its self-proclaimed “Alcohol Monopoly” – were government controls and profits as the only legal seller of high content alcoholic beverages – or in the case of “State Lotteries” run solely by State Governments as a monopoly, the government is acting as any for-profit corporation might, and taxpayers voluntarily purchase this service and products from government as “customers”. Thus, these types of governmental activities are considered “non-governmental” or in Pacifica’s case “Business-type Activities”. For our purposes, this is certainly important to understand but not necessary to our stated goal. It is simply a way to transfer money out of the taxpayer base and into the business-base of revenues, leaving the taxpayer budget short.<br />
Under the Liabilities column, we see TOTAL LIABILITIES listed as:<br />
———————————————————<br />
<strong>Governmental Activities</strong>: <span style="color: red;"><strong>$45,403,706</strong></span><br />
<strong>Business-Type Activities:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$37,792,153</strong></span><br />
<strong>Totals:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$83,195,859</strong></span><br />
———————————————————<br />
We will come back to these figures in a moment, as the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">big lie</span> is within this LIABILITIES section.<br />
Finally, our TOTAL NET ASSETS are listed as:<br />
———————————————————<br />
<strong>Governmental Activities</strong>: <span style="color: red;"><strong>$58,403,038</strong></span><br />
<strong>Business-Type Activities:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$19,724,997</strong></span><br />
<strong>Totals:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$78,128,035</strong></span><br />
———————————————————<br />
Assets minus liabilities equals total assets. But we must now expose the fraud written into these so-called liabilities…<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4:</div>
Now, since I have written extensively on what all of these facts and figures mean within the full report of the CAFR, we will not be reading between the lines today. Again, we need not understand the whole financial report to understand the crime of omission happening in every government across America (and the world for that matter). All we need to know is this one method of “creative accounting”, and with it we have more ammunition than we could possibly need to call foul on our elected holders of public trust. So for now, don’t worry about all this other red tape. If you want to learn more about all of this, you can scour my articles or watch my movies for explanations of this CAFR information. Again, we need not get sidetracked with anything but these few line items that prove massive fraud on a national level.<br />
Listed here are the ways in which these “totals” are restricted, invested, and unrestricted. But again, this information is irrelevant to our goal, for it is based on the lie we are about to expose. Without the continuity of the big lie, these “restrictions” mean nothing.<br />
In order to understand this lie, we must now go back to the LIABILITIES section.<br />
Remember, we only need to read this one graph called “STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS”. Nothing else matters for our purposes of establishing basic fraud through omission and obfuscation. So for now, ignore the rest of the CAFR.<br />
Under the LIABILITIES section, we see a line item titled “NONCURRENT LIABILITIES”.<br />
In our Pacifica City Corporation CAFR, these are listed as follows:<br />
Due Within One Year:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Governmental Activities</strong>: <span style="color: red;"><strong>$4,283,958</strong></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Business-Type Activities:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$2,458,072</strong></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Totals:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$6,742,030</strong></span></div>
Due In More Than One Year:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Governmental Activities</strong>: <span style="color: red;"><strong>$38,527,849</strong></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Business-Type Activities:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$34,108,234</strong></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>Totals:</strong> <span style="color: red;"><strong>$72,636,083</strong></span></div>
And there it is… Perhaps you still don’t see it, and that’s OK. For most people have hope and faith that government has integrity and honesty even within its own required Federal and State accounting principals. Perhaps you have even heard your mayor, council members, and even your governor talk about their “intent” to do right by the people? But in reality, nothing could be farther from the truth. For intent means nothing until it is written down on a paper, signed, notarized, and filed as a legally binding contract. Only then can the true intent of politicians be guaranteed. And only then can the law be broken – for a broken promise of ones good intentions is not against the law!<br />
So what just happened here that is so darn eye-opening, as I claim?<br />
Glad you asked…<br />
For it can easily slip past your cognition if you aren’t ultra aware of what you are reading. In this case, the City of Pacifica has just listed its <strong><em>current</em></strong> assets and compared those assets to its <strong><em>future</em></strong> liabilities.<br />
Why is this significant?<br />
Well, imagine if you were reporting your own assets and liabilities to the IRS after it informed you that it required this information for an audit. And let’s say you wanted to play a creative accounting trick on the IRS to hide your real current asset holdings. While this little trick would actually be illegal for you to do, in government it’s perfectly OK and legal, and even promoted in standards of practice. After all, government wont punish itself for its own lies – for the lie is the basic foundation of government accounting as recommended by itself!!!<br />
So when Agent Smith comes a knocking at your door and asks you for your STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS, you give him your list that you made, which includes the same creative accounting methods used by government. On your list you itemize all of your assets, including your home, your car, your equipment, and any other property you might own. You then list your bank checking and savings accounts and any liquid investments you have in your investment portfolio, just like government does. And once you’ve listed everything you can possibly account for as one of your assets that you have right now at this very moment in time, you then begin to list your liabilities.<br />
And here is where the creative part comes in – the act of obfuscation and trickery to fool IRS Agent Smith into believing that you have more liabilities that effect your asset balance than you actually do. Here’s how that works…<br />

At the end of the assault that first day, the ATF had but 40 rounds: the Americans those oath traitors violently attacked had dozens of rifles, cases of ammunition. They should've finished them off, and taken the video they shot of their own raid, spread it far and wide and kicked off a Second American Revolution in 93. I was a kid then but Waco was my wake up call and I had a Garand.</div>

The Real Drone Horror — Revenue Enhancement</h1>

It’s now estimated that by the end of this decade, 60,000 – 70,000 drones operated by various federal and local governments will be flying over the United States on a regular basis. The opposition to this technological revolution fears these devices will invade citizen privacy, and that they might even be used for government assassinations the way they are used in some foreign countries. <br />
What nonsense. Such privacy worries are silly. Assassination concerns are absurd. The real fear here should focus on the potential of drones as revenue enhancers.<br />
About privacy. It’s rather late in the day to evoke this worry when it comes to drones. When Essau in the Bible sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of porridge, at least he got a good feed out of the deal. What have Americans gotten for their own privacy sell out? <br />
The right to be charged almost 15 percent interest (the present credit card average starting rate) when they buy things with plastic, purchases that are meticulously tracked by marketeers? The right to surf the Internet, with every single click or pause tracked by Internet firms? The right to talk on cell phones while walking down the street that’s tracked by phone service suppliers? The right to drive a new car, vehicles that all now have black boxes installed that let others know where one’s been, if they haven’t already tracked you via your cell phone or other devices?<br />
Why would a government agency need drones to invade the privacy that Americans as a people have so egregiously and foolishly traded away? All a government agency needs do is spend a few bucks with a data mining company to know more about you than any government agency in history. <br />
Governments now have all the technical tools they need to track potential terrorists. All the weapons they need to kill bad guys who deserve to die. Far too many ways to invade privacy already. Drones will therefore serve another purpose. They will provide more of what governments really want. <br />
They want your money.<br />

‘Drone use has become a general strategy’<br />

The majority of aircraft currently purchased by the U.S. military are drones, with the use of them becoming a general strategy of the U.S government, says Phil Wilayto, an anti-war activist and editor at the Virginia Defender newspaper in Richmond.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“This is a whole new development…it’s become the general strategy because of course the U.S. is able to carry out attacks without jeopardizing their own soldiers and so their hoping that there will be less public reaction in the U.S. to what the U.S. government is doing overseas,” Wilayto said on Sunday.<br />
<br />
<br />
