Truckers Unwittingly Used to Transport Dangerous Avian Flu Materials?

April 12, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →

Information has been provided to us by a person who lives in the region in which she has gathered the information that you can read below. It is highly disturbing, not only because of the contents of the information but because without further data, it is impossible to determine what it means.

Considered in light of the very disturbing incident in January 2009 where annual flu “vaccines” being delivered to 18 countries were “accidentally” contaminated with live Avian Flu Virus, we are very concerned.

Has a civilian work force of truckers (and others?) been recruited to disperse highly hazardous materials with the intent of destroying social order and creating an intentional bio-false flag event?

Has civilian well-being been endangered through bizarre transportation activities which expose large populations to extreme dangers without following the established channels for moving highly hazardous materials?

If the US Government is involved, are these activities rogue, or authorized activities? If the US Government is not involved, who is responsible for them?

Is this really happening at all?

The person who collected this data believes she may be in danger but has sent this material to hundreds, she says, of media sources. None has, to date, published this material. Without corroboration, or information which falsifies it, no one would know what to do with it. Ignoring it is easy. But what if the few dots in this picture, while not fully filled in, do, in fact, make a portrait of something critically important? Can we ignore it?

So we are asking you, nearly a quarter of a million strong, to be our intelligence system: if you have information which would help email freedomfighterradio@comcast.net

JEFFERSON CITY – A list of Missouri Information Analysis reports — obtained after controversy over one report said supporters of third-party candidates might be militia members — shows conservative groups aren’t the only subjects these reports.

The list, the result of a Freedom of Information request, shows that the subjects of reports include others about white supremacist groups, but also the New Black Panther Party and at least one about the anarchist movement.

The content of reports requested is awaiting a review before release.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Guest, R-King City, has sponsored a bill that would create a House committee to oversee MIAC.

Texas Senate votes in Trans-Texas Corridor

April 08, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →

Source: Texas Turf

The Texas Senate voted 29-2 in favor of re-authorizing private toll contracts that essentially sell our highways to the highest bidder.

On a deal just signed in Dallas, Spain-based Cintra got the rights to charge us 75 cents a mile even though $500 million in gas taxes and other public subsidies will be used to build the project in yet another sweetheart deal for corporations and a raw deal for taxpayers! These contracts are also at the heart of the Trans Texas Corridor.

The two voting against were Senators Glenn Hegar and Wendy Davis. Thank Senator Hegar here: glenn.hegar@senate.state.tx.us. Wendy Davis actually wants MORE of these private toll contracts and voted against these bills because she wanted an open door for Cintra instead of giving public toll entities first crack at toll projects, so “no thanks,” Senator Davis.

All senators but Wendy Davis voted for SB 17 that purports to protect taxpayers from private toll contracts, called CDAs, but is a sham since TxDOT and toll agencies can waive the steps and jump right to a CDA allowing private corporations to control our public infrastructure!


THE TAXPAYERS’ WRATH BEGINS!
We also put in 200,000 calls to several senators’ districts (Dan Patrick, Juan Hinojosa, Steve Ogden to name a few) because they claimed they hadn’t received ANY calls against this. Well, now they’ve received plenty of calls against! They know the PEOPLE of Texas DO NOT want private control of public roads where these foreign toll operators can control EVERY MILE WE DRIVE, charging oppressively high tolls where they actually have a financial incentive to price drivers off the road in order to maintain a speed of 50 MPH or greater, “There is a sliding scale of damages payments to TxDOT if Average Speeds in the toll lanes are less than 50mph.” The deal also makes TxDOT pay Cintra for any loss of toll revenue due to HOV users!

House Preparing To Legalize Payday Loans With 391% APRs

April 07, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption No Comments →

Source: The Consumerist

A House subcommittee wants to legalize payday loans with interest rates of up to 391%. Lobbyists from the payday industry bought Congress’ support by showering influential members, including Chairman Luiz Gutierrez, with campaign cash. The Congressman is now playing good cop, bad cop with the payday industry, which is pretending to oppose his generous gift of a bill.

“While they may not be JP Morgan Chase or Bank of America, they’re very powerful. Their influence should not be underestimated,” Gutierrez, the top Democrat on the Financial Services subcommittee in charge of consumer credit issues, said in an interview this week.

Indeed, the payday lending industry is strenuously resisting Gutierrez’s measure, which it says would devastate its business. The measure would cap the annual interest rate for a payday loan at 391 percent, ban so-called “rollovers” - where a borrower who can’t afford to pay off the loan essentially renews it and pays large fees - and prevent lenders from suing borrowers or docking their wages to collect the debt.

A newer player representing Internet payday lenders - a growing segment of the market - also ramped up its lobbying and political giving efforts. The Online Lenders Alliance, formed in 2005, nearly quintupled, to $480,000, its lobbying expenditures from 2007 and 2008. It contributed $108,400 to candidates in advance of the 2008 elections compared to about $2,000 in the 2006 contests. Gutierrez was among the top House recipients, getting $4,600, while the top Senate recipient was Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., a Banking Committee member who got $6,900.

Gulf War veterans lives at stake - CALL TO ACTION PLEASE HELP NOW URGENT

April 06, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption, iraq war, military corruption No Comments →

This is critically very important and urgent in timeliness! We need the phone calls to White House and emails to White House to support this effort now!

Start calling the White House (202-456-1414) or numbers you all have now initiate calls that will have huge impact for Gulf War illness treatments research? The purpose would be to leave a message for Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel urging him to include $25 million in the DoD 2010 budget for the Gulf War Illness treatments research program of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. President Obama requested $30 million for the program when he was in the Senate, so he knows it’s effective and badly needed.

They can also go to www.whitehouse.gov, click on “contact us” and cut and paste into the message space the memo below.
Hon. Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff:
President Obama has been a lead supporter of treatments research to improve the health of Gulf War veterans and to prevent similar problems in future military deployments. As a member of the Senate, he requested $30 million funding for the Gulf War Illness Research Program of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. This excellent program was also recommended in the November report of the Congressionally-mandated Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans Illnesses, which found that 175,000 Gulf War veterans suffer from chronic illness due to toxic exposures during the war, for which there are currently no effective treatments. The Report praised the program for “its emphasis on innovative studies that have the potential to yield clinically useful results in the near term.” But under the previous administration, DoD eliminated new Gulf War illness research from its budget, though it historically provided 2/3 of the funding, forcing ill veterans to go door-to-door in Congress. Some Members, like the President, responded, but the program has been forced to compete with earmarks for Congressional attention, and funding has been inadequate ($8 million in FY 2009) to address this major health problem. The Report placed the highest priority on research to identify treatments to improve the health of ill Gulf War veterans and prevent similar problems in future deployments. It recommended that this peer-reviewed competitive program be included in the President’s Budget at the $40 million level. I urgently request that you place the “peer-reviewed Gulf War illness research program” in the President’s 2010 budget at at least the $25 million level to move toward an adequate level of treatments research (DoD account RDTE, A; line title R-1 30; PE # 0603002A).

Each year since 05 we advocates have had to go and spend significant time on the Hill working DOD Appropriations Committees and other Senators and Representatives to support what we have gotten so far! If we can do it this way it will happen automatically from the administration and will save us time, money, and resources!!!

WE ARE PUSHING TO FIND TREATMENT for the 1 in 4 gulf war veterans (VA RAC GWI Report Nov08) of 90-91 to improve and save their very lives!!! At least 175,000 up to 258,000(current number of VA Claims submitted on Desert Storm Veterans, which is 30.68 percent of all Desert Storm Veterans minimally) could eventually be helped
by this effort to find effective treatments for them!

VA Hospital Gives Veteran HIV After Mistakes

Source: Associated Press

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Veterans Affairs department says a patient has tested positive for HIV after being exposed to contaminated equipment at a medical facility.

The VA reported previously that hepatitis has been found in 16 patients. But the agency says there is no way to prove the patients contracted the illnesses because of treatment at their facilities.

More than 10,000 veterans have been warned to get blood tests because they could have been exposed to contamination at facilities Tennessee, Georgia and Miami. All three sites failed to properly sterilize endoscopic equipment between treatments. The VA has said patients could have been exposed to body fluids from a previous patient.

The VA on Monday did not return telephone calls and e-mails about the positive HIV test.

An Iraqi translator who has earned commendations for risking his life repeatedly to save the lives of many American soldiers in combat has been denied a visa to live in the United States because of nonviolent actions he took to overthrow Saddam Hussein — at the same time the U.S. government was calling for regime change in Iraq.

Jasim, whose name is being withheld for his safety, has received strong support from the U.S. military, and the Department of Homeland Security approved his application for a visa.

But the State Department has denied Jasim a visa because he was arrested in 1996 for actions against the Saddam dictatorship.

Grabar was in Iraq serving as a KBR forklift operator. KBR security found the illegal images and other documents belonging to Grabar on the flash drive, the release stated.

According to the testimony presented in Houston court by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Stabe, more than 500 images and 79 videos containing pornography were found .

After the discovery, Grabar was fired and sent home. Grabar faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and life on supervised release.

Inside source reveals FEMA & DHS preparing for mass graves and martial law near Chicago

April 01, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →

By: D. H. Williams

An Indiana county municipal official in the vicinity of Chicago reveals the contents of his meetings with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. The initial requests seem reasonable enough when FEMA asks the county officials to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan to deal with flooding, fires, high winds and tornadoes.

But as the required meetings and calls with FEMA and DHS continue over a two year period their request become more unusual, raising suspicions of county officials

Listen to the audio:


“We want to know every important thing in this county. We want to know where police departments are. Where weapons are stored. Hazardous material. Where can we land a helicopter. Where are the airports. How big a plane can you land at the airport. Where are all the bridges. Where are all the power stations. Where are all the generating stations.Where are all the substations. They literally wanted to know where everything was. I’m sitting there thinking man if there was ever martial law. This kind of information is exactly the kind of stuff they are going to want. We’re just laying it all out for them right there.”

During the legally mandated meetings held with FEMA and DHS different disaster scenarios were reveled to county officials:

  • In late December 2008 municipal officials were invited to Indianapolis for a briefing on the state of Indiana. There were told if industry were to collapse for example GM going bankrupt resulting in mass unemployment a depression would soon follow and municipalities could expect to loose 40% of their funds.
  • Every county in the nation would be required to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan.
  • The county should prepare a plan to vaccinate the entire population within 48 hours and practice the plan several times.
  • FEMA inquired to where mass graves could be placed in the county and would they accept bodies from elsewhere.
  • The sheriff’s department via the state sheriff association was told that no .223 ammunition rounds would be available as the military would be purchasing all stocks.
  • The county was asked to make plans for “hardening” of police and fire stations, putting in hardened bunker type buildings around town.
  • The county was asked to make plans for the possibility of up to 400,000 refugees from Chicago.

Waterboarding Produced False Leads, Officials Say

Detainee’s Harsh Treatment Foiled No Plots
Waterboarding, Rough Interrogation of Abu Zubaida Produced False Leads, Officials Say
When CIA officials subjected their first high-value captive, Abu Zubaida, to waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, they were convinced that they had in their custody an al-Qaeda leader who knew details of operations yet to be unleashed, and they were facing increasing pressure from the White House to get those secrets out of him.

The methods succeeded in breaking him, and the stories he told of al-Qaeda terrorism plots sent CIA officers around the globe chasing leads.

In the end, though, not a single significant plot was foiled as a result of Abu Zubaida’s tortured confessions, according to former senior government officials who closely followed the interrogations. Nearly all of the leads attained through the harsh measures quickly evaporated, while most of the useful information from Abu Zubaida — chiefly names of al-Qaeda members and associates — was obtained before waterboarding was introduced, they said.

Moreover, within weeks of his capture, U.S. officials had gained evidence that made clear they had misjudged Abu Zubaida. President George W. Bush had publicly described him as “al-Qaeda’s chief of operations,” and other top officials called him a “trusted associate” of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and a major figure in the planning of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. None of that was accurate, the new evidence showed.

Big Brother Government Could Own The News

March 27, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption No Comments →

Source: NBC San Diego

A new Senate bill that would give government funding to struggling newspapers could result in complete state control of the press, critics say.

Democratic Sen. Benjamin Cardin of Maryland proposed a bill this week that would allow newspapers to operate as tax-exempt nonprofits in order to keep the sinking industry afloat.

The government funding could make participating papers less likely to criticize the administration in power - a problem for a democracy that’s founded on the freedom of the press, those who oppose the bill say.

“It would de-claw participating newspapers, which couldn’t endorse candidates or freely question the party in power,” Ken McIntyre, a media and public policy fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.

“Reporters and editors are supposed to be wary skeptics of politicians and bureaucrats on behalf of readers — not beholden to the government’s favor,” he said.

The new legislation would prohibit the papers from making official endorsements of any political candidates. This could cause a problem for the outlets’ editorial pages, which frequently make explicit reference to which candidate or cause the paper supports.

Editorial sections aren’t mentioned specifically in Cardin’s bill.

“Since the Bill of Rights was passed, the government has never had a voice in the press. This is a very dangerous provision,” blogger Alan Mutter told Fox.

“It’s very unhealthy,” he said.

Cardin said the bill could be the only option for newspapers who are close to shutting their doors.

“This may not be the optimal choice for some major newspapers or corporate media chains,” said Cardin, “but it should be an option for many newspapers that are struggling to stay afloat.”

No other Senators have voiced public support for the bill.

Burning Toxic Waste is Making U.S. Soldiers and Iraqis Sick, But the Pentagon Refuses to Admit It

Note: Link to download this leaked Govt.Document on bottom of this post

Summary

This 10 Dec 2006 document is a study by the US Air Force that describes significant health risks to personnel who have been stationed at Balad Air Base, Iraq and the surrounding population. Our source states the that the military has denied any adverse health risks to soldiers, but the study clearly describes substantial health risks to soldiers, with the majority of the risks being known cancer causing hazards.

The study describes the Balard Burn Pit as the worst environmental hazard ever seen.

By Nora Eisenberg (AlterNet)[1]

Six years into the war, many U.S. bases in Iraq are still without incinerators, leaving open pits spewing toxic plumes over soldiers and civilians.

Acetaldehyde, Acrolien, Arsenic, Benzene, Carbon Monoxide, Ethylbenzene, Formaldehyde, Hydrogen Cyanide, Hydrogen Fluoride, Phosgene, Sulfur Dioxide, Sulfuric Acid, Toluene, Trichloroethane, Xylene. These are just some of the chemicals detected in smoke from the Balad Burn Pit, one of the many vast open pits spewing toxic plumes over Iraq and Afghanistan.

But not to worry; In “Just the Facts,” an information sheet for troops, the Department of Defense has stated that “the potential short- and long-term risks” from Balad “were estimated to be low.” (Documents prove they knowingly lied) The VA has just announced it will monitor reports of veterans’ pit-related illness. But the DoD has yet to declassify old air sample reports or issue current findings.

Prisoner of the System The Pat Kobylak Story

March 25, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →

Who is telling the truth?

This is Timothy Bowman. Last month he was arrested and charged with planning the escape of his fiancee from court ordered mental health confinement. Local police officials have accused Mr. Bowman of being violent and dangerous. A warrant was issued, after he allegedly trespassed on private property during a purported “breakout attempt.” Hospital officials say he was seen throwing a snowball at the window of a patient, signaling the other conspirators in the planned escape.

Policeabuse.com is accused of helping Tim Bowman. Our stretch limo was identified as the getaway car. We admit that we are guilty of helping Tim Bowman, but not with an escape. We gave him the help he needed to document a serious case of patient abuse, civil rights violations and incompetence. We went undercover inside the NY state mental health system with hidden cameras. When you hear this story you will understand why we gave him our full support.

We got involved because Mr. Bowman said that the police in Rochester, NY, were unfair and abusive. After a report we determined to be false was made against Mr. Bowman we attempted to provide the local police department with correct information. However, the investigating officer had an emotional fit in the lobby of the police station. He kept screaming that we had lied to him. He told us that we were responsible for his migraine headache and he did not need to hear our information. This was the response our investigators received when we tried to provide witness statements to Officer Britton of the Rochester PD. We will provide the entire audio to Mr.Bowman’s defense attorney.

Military Industrial Complex Prepares Mass Graves for U.S. Citizens

March 25, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption, martial law No Comments →

Source: Infowars

A usually quiet U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Cemetery, has been unusually active lately. The National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona is a beautiful 225 acre facility located in Phoenix.

For the past 30-45 days in the early hours of the morning until sunset, a massive construction operation has been underway. Major amounts of earth have been excavated out about 9-10 feet deep and 600-1000 feet wide. There is multiple locations on the property like this. From the satellite view there appears to be more sections that have been covered with the concrete lids and backfilled to look as if nothing is there. ABC rock is put in place under the burial vaults for good drainage and solid bedding. This will help not contaminate ground water sources from decomposition of human bodies.

The cleanliness of the heavy equipment operation and the large perfect cuts of earth is impressive. These Massive concrete boxes are transported from a nearby storage yard on various privately owned flatbed semi-trucks, then unloaded and put into place a half mile away at the actual mass grave site. They are installed tight together side by side with no space in between.

An interview was conducted between my friend and a truck driver involved in this operation. After beating around the bush for ten minutes, the driver admitted “ I got paid a whole lot of money to speak good english.” Take it for what it’s worth but that sounds suspect. The truck driver also admitted “Each burial vault holds four caskets.”
I took note that if caskets were not used you could fit 40 bodies or more in each one.

So if these were to hold four troops each and the truck driver did know what he was talking about; this would mean that there are plans in advance for over 4000 U.S. soldiers deaths.

If these are not to contain caskets and only bodies are inserted there could be room for over 40,000 civilians bodies.

Why House Committee wanted Rove behind closed doors

March 25, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption No Comments →

Source: Raw Story

The House Judiciary Committee chose to interview former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove behind closed doors because they wanted more time to question him, and not as a concession to Bush Administration representatives, sources say.

“It was our choice,” one House Judiciary aide told Raw Story.

According to two Judiciary Committee aides, the committee opted for the private testimony so that they could depose Rove for an extended period of time. During a public hearing, each committee member would have only a few minutes to ask questions.

“We could question him for 12 hours if we choose to,” said one of the aides.

Both aides confirmed that Rove would not be sworn in before his testimony but explained that testimony before Congress is de facto sworn testimony and any false statements would in fact be perjury regardless.

Vets face an HIV risk from hospital pumps

After discovering that water pumps for colonoscopies were not properly cleaned, the VA said there is a slight risk of HIV or hepatitis infection.

BY ROBERT SAMUELS
MiamiHerald.com

Thousands of veterans who underwent certain routine medical procedures at Miami’s VA Medical Center are at risk of being infected with hepatitis or HIV, the hospital announced Monday.

The revelation drew intense criticism from South Florida congressmen and the concern of veterans who hope a visit to the government-run health center has not compromised their health.

At the center of the fears are water pumps that are regularly used during colonoscopies and gastrointestinal procedures, said John Vara, the Miami VA’s chief of staff. The hospital discovered March 4 that the pumps — which are attached to the tubes used in the procedures — were being rinsed but not disinfected. This, Vara said, creates the slight chance that back-flow from the pumps could lead to serious or potentially deadly infections.

Missouri Governor Stands Behind MIAC Smear Report

Source: Infowars

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has defended a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that smears Ron Paul supporters, people who have knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, and people who display political bumper stickers as potential domestic terrorists.

As we revealed in our exclusive report last week, a leaked secret report distributed by the federal Missouri Information Analysis Center lists Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who display bumper stickers, people who own gold, or even people who fly a U.S. flag and equates them with radical race hate groups and terrorists.

The MIAC report specifically describes supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.

The MIAC report does not concentrate on Muslim terrorists, but rather on the so-called “militia movement” and conflates it with supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, the so-called patriot movement and other political activist organizations opposed to the North American Union and the New World Order.

Thus far, 4,261 members of the U.S. military have been killed in Iraq and 67,237 wounded, not counting many diagnosed after leaving Iraq, including estimated hundreds of thousands with traumatic brain injury, hundreds of thousands with post-traumatic stress disorder, unknown numbers poisoned by hexavalent chromium or depleted uranium, also not counting the many victims of murder by veterans unable to stop doing their jobs, not counting the one in three women in the military sexually assaulted by men in the military, and not counting 6,570 suicides, and twice that many attempts, per year by veterans, and rising. Suffering and death for U.S. troops resulting from the war on Iraq is rising, not diminishing. Veterans are becoming ill, homeless, murderous, and suicidal.

Meanwhile, for Iraqis, years of homelessness, imprisonment, lack of electricity, lack of medicine, injuries, trauma, lost family members, and poisoned environments are taking their toll. Of 1.2 million killed, 2,000 have been doctors. There are 4.7 million refugees, including 20,000 doctors. Almost a third of Iraq’s children suffer from malnutrition, and virtually all Iraqis lack adequate medical services, electricity, and — in many areas — drinking water. Cancer and miscarriages have increased dramatically. While violence is down, the same may not be true of deaths and suffering.

While the U.S. media obsesses over teeny fractions of the trillions of dollars the U.S. government is giving to bankers, 130,000 troops and 160,000 contractors continue to occupy Iraq in the name of the United States, and very few Iraqis are convinced they will ever leave, while even fewer want them to stay. The protest on Saturday at the Pentagon was smaller than on past anniversaries of the invasion of Iraq, apparently limited to those who do not leave it to their televisions to decide what is important to them. Very few voices in the U.S. media address the topic with any seriousness at all. A fake New York Times declared the war over in November as soon as a different brand was put on the “commander in chief,” but the corporate media, congress, and most of the public has accepted that story with a straight face.

QUARANTINES: The Law Enforcement Role

Should the United States, or any por­tion of it, have to resort to large-scale quarantines to contain the spread of dis­ease, it seems certain that state and local police will be deeply involved in any such effort. The military is accomplished at lo­gistical undertakings and may be best suited for such things as the delivery of food, water, medical supplies and related items. Although the military and other federal entities such as FEMA will pre­sumably play a major part in any broad quarantine program, state and local law enforcement agencies will play a critical role as well, particularly in the early stages of the emergency while other resources are being mobilized and brought on line. This role will present a monumental challenge to state and local law enforcement agencies, for they will face daunting personnel and logistical problems as they strive to fulfill the duties and responsibilities placed upon them by federal, state, and local law.

Indeed, quarantines of any signifi­cance are outside the experience of law enforcement agencies in the United States. The last large scale quarantine in the United States was imposed almost 90 years ago during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Internationally, the SARS epidemic, or severe acute respiratory syn­drome, was confronted by quarantines in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. There, “police surrounded and cordoned off buildings, set up checkpoints on roads into and out of areas where the disease had been discovered, installed Web cameras in people’s homes, blocked off whole villages, and even threatened to execute anyone who broke quarantine.”1 The less draconian response in Canada, in which people were asked to voluntarily quarantine themselves in their homes while being supplied with essential supplies, was generally effective and would be more in line with any quar­antine that may be imposed in the United States. Nonetheless, President George Bush’s suggestion in early October 2005 that the military may be used to enforce a quarantine opens the door to speculation about the tactics and operational protocols that may be under consideration at the federal level.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

March 20, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →

by A. True Ott, PhD

Yesterday, March 19, 2009, a most amazing article appeared in the Seguin, Texas Gazette-Enterprise newspaper. (http://www.seguingazette.com/story.lasso?ewcd=7067c6003405a409) This is an amazingly chilling article for a number of reasons.

1. For the first time, an American county is organizing a mock response drill to prepare health care workers, police, and “volunteers” for the coming, “inevitable” pandemic.

2. The article completely ignores historical facts, and subscribes to the extremely flawed notion mindlessly parroted by the United Nations that killer “pandemics” are “acts of nature” that occur regularly in 100-year cycles. FACT: The 1918 Killer Pandemic had its origins in pathogenic-virus-contaminated typhus fever VACCINES that were injected into the veins of naive service personnel deployed during WW I. FACT: Any “modern” pandemic will be started in exactly the same manner — (i.e. contaminated VACCINES) in one way or another. FACT: There was no “killer pandemic” that killed millions back in 1818, no “killer pandemic” in 1718, etc. These lies and falsehoods MUST be corrected in order to understand the REAL AGENDA.

3. The article utilizes three tried and tested tools of propaganda - FEAR-MONGERING, FALSE PRIDE, and CALLS FOR CITIZENSHIP. It begins by creating a scenario that most people deeply fear — billions of dead around the world, with a full one-third of the United States people in grave peril. It then portrays the chaos that would likely paralyze the MASS VACCINATION CREWS — with vehicle “lines” extending for hundreds, if not thousands of miles! Furthermore, this article follows the Illuminati Master’s play book to the letter by skillfully utilizing PRS (Problem-Reaction-Solution) programming — i.e. they create the Problem, manipulate the public’s Reaction, thereby forcing individuals into their prescribed Solution (which is clearly MASS GENOCIDE just as Henry Kissinger, Zbignew Breszinski, et. al. prescribed in their Tri-lateralist publication titled “Project 2000″). How very convenient that our benevolent federal government has already prepared a “Strategic National Stockpile” of untested, untried, potentially lethal human-kidney-cell-based “Vaccines” manufactured in China (in 2005, China’s defense minister, Chi Haotian declared China would “clean-up America all at once” by using a potent, new “biological weapon”) which have been “hidden in up to 2 dozen ’secret’ locations” since 2008. The article then calls for patriotic, civic-minded volunteers to sign up and help promulgate this insidious agenda, promising them that they would be repaid by being “the first in line” to receive the saving vaccines.

4. Certain parts of the article contain clear Illuminati/Masonic symbolism. For instance, the article talks about “Five Points of Dispensing” or PODs. In satanically-inspired secret-society rituals (Grand Dragon Albert Pike wrote in “Morals and Dogma” that the “light-bearer” of the Masons and Mormons evoked by the “Five Points” was none other than “Lucifer, Son of the Morning”) practiced by Mormons, Masons, and others, initiates utilize something called “The Five Points of Fellowship” whereby they receive direct communication from certain, mystical inter-dimensional entities by means of touching five parts of the body to form the inverted five-pointed star, aka the PENTAGRAM. See http://www.exmormon.org/boards/honestboard/messages/3224.html as well as the official Masonic “Grand Lodge of Texas” explanation at http://www.themasonictrowel.com/Articles/degrees/degree_3rd_files/the_five_points_of_fellowship_gltx.htm.

5. I submit the specific DAY (May 2) of the planned Texas “response drill” is also significant. In witchcraft and other pagan/satanic cult circles, May 1, aka Beltane, is a very sacred day, parallelling Samhain (Halloween) as a day where “the spirits of the dead” can be readily summoned and accessed according to organized witchcraft covens. Beltane is the Black Sabbat where the male Phallus organ is worshipped, as well as incorporating a purifying process whereby human bodies are “cleansed” by means of repeatedly “going through the fire”. FIRE is the Satanist/Illuminist/WICCAN cleansing tool. Lucifer, (according to his disciples such as Pike and Aleistar Crowley), seeks to “cleanse the earth” by fire. See http://www.highvalley.org/beltane-ritual.html I submit that FEMA and the CDC plan to use crematoriums to dispose of the millions of Pandemic Flu casualties fulfills this infernal agenda. In the past few years, KBR, a subsidiary of Dick Cheney’s Halliburton, have been building and expanding mass concentration camps with crematorium facilities attached. http://www.apfn.org/apfn/camps.htm What is their purpose? What massive national catastrophe would cause government agencies such fear and loathing to make them declare martial law and imprison civilians in “forced quarantine” camps? An international “pandemic” makes perfect sense — and would CLEANSE INFERIOR “Goyim” or Kissinger’s “Useless Eaters” by means of millions of burned corpses that have “passed through the cleansing fires”. Moreover, the nation’s police chiefs and law enforcement officers are preparing for just such a “quarantine” event. See article in Police Chief Magazine: http://policechiefmagazine.org/magazine/index.cfm?fuseaction=display_arch&article_id=807&issue_id=22006#Top

Something VERY WICKED INDEED, is surely coming this way.

Several Clay County (Kentucky) Officials Arrested On Federal Charges

March 20, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption No Comments →

Five Clay County officials, including the circuit court judge, the county clerk, and election officers were arrested Thursday after they were indicted on federal charges accusing them of using corrupt tactics to obtain political power and personal gain.

The 10-count indictment, unsealed Thursday, accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002 until November 2006 that violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO is a federal statute that prosecutors use to combat organized crime. The defendants were also indicted for extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters’ rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local, and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004, and 2006. The indictment accused the defendants of the following criminal actions: Read more

County plans to deal with unthinkable - Bird Flu Pandemic Scenario Drill Planned For Seguin, Texas?

March 18, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government corruption No Comments →

This evening, I just forwarded a long story about possible Chinese & World Elitist plans to execute a mass Eugenics crime against the People of the United States using a bird flu pandemic crisis. What are these ass-clown liberals saying, “Never let a crisis go to waste” for? Hillary Clinton, Obama and others have made that statement in the last week or two!
Now, even the small town of Seguin, Texas is playing this practice scenario out. This story even suggests that rural property will be taken and used against rural land owners will or permission to carry out a real pandemic attack plan! This was a scare that surfaced several years back when Communist Marxist (Lite)Wild Willy Clinton was President. Here it is again. We should be prepared to fight against this because there is no epidemic to date! This would be a convenient way for liberal power hungry thugs to shove this down our throat and destroy our nation in favor of a one world government!

County plans to deal with unthinkable

SEGUIN — Around the world, up to two billion people have died — depending upon whose count one uses — and in the United States alone deaths could total one third of the population.

Somewhere in the federal government, the decision is made and secret medical stockpiles stored at secret locations are loaded into aircraft and, within 12 hours, moved to wherever they are most likely to be able to stop a pandemic that threatens mankind.

Local officials have 36 hours to treat their entire population — in Guadalupe County that would be 115,000 people.

A massive call-up of volunteers that, in this county alone would take 1,000 medical professionals and lay people is required to prepare and operate five Points of Dispensing (PODs) at which the life-saving medications can be distributed.

It may sound like the plot of a sci-fi thriller — but it’s what would happen if the 1918 Spanish Flu that decimated the world happened today.

Guadalupe County emergency management and their counterparts around the country are preparing for just such a scenario because in the history of humankind it happens once every 100 years or so — and the time is coming for the next one.

Were it to happen tomorrow, though, local officials would fail in the effort because they lack the local volunteers needed to try to stop the outbreak.

Guadalupe County Emergency Management Coordinator Dan Kinsey and his volunteer coordinator, Kay Hays, are speaking to local large employers and service clubs, seeking to compile a list of volunteers who can help. Wednesday they made presentations to a pair of organizations, including the Seguin Kiwanis Club.

Kinsey, who is responsible for coordinating the county’s response in times of natural or man-made disasters, made a presentation on the “Strategic National Stockpile” — those medical supplies the government has hidden in up to two dozen locations — and what the scenario would be like if part of it was distributed in Guadalupe County.

Kinsey and Hays are preparing for a May 2 dress rehearsal of a pandemic disaster at the Navarro ISD. Volunteers will set up and operate a “drive through” POD in which they will take a practice run at registering, screening and pretending to inoculate 100 volunteers so they can identify whatever problems might come up and prepare to meet them.

The same procedures with minor changes would apply to any similar emergency, such as an outbreak of smallpox or an anthrax or ricin attack, Kinsey said.

The challenges are daunting ones when one considers the kind of response that would be required in Guadalupe County alone.

Kinsey’s done the math based on the size of the average family, average vehicle occupancy and average vehicle length including space between vehicles of.

Were Guadalupe County to attempt to handle such traffic in one lane in five locations, each line would be 41 miles long, Kinsey said. For San Antonio, the lines would be more than 2,000 miles long — the distance from Calgary, Alberta to San Antonio.

And scenarios using license plate numbers to sort the lines are not viewed as likely to succeed, Kinsey said.

“If I tell you this half of this room is going to get your medication today and that half will get it tomorrow if there’s any left, are you going to wait?” Kinsey asked.

What Kinsey envisions is five “drive-through” PODs operating 24 hours a day until done on 12-hour shifts that will require 100 volunteers for duties as varied as administering medications, filling out paperwork, distributing food or water, providing security or watching the children of other volunteers.

The five PODs would have to be able to accommodate 3,200 people each per hour, and to do that, they would have to be located in areas where the traffic can be controlled without resulting in gridlock — meaning relatively familiar rural areas where traffic might be “contra-flowed” to provide the most efficient access.

NISD is one such location, and at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 2, Kinsey wants to run his drill.

“We’re looking for 1,000 volunteers in all, but we need at least 100 for the May 2 exercise,” Kinsey said. “This is not a big commitment — maybe three or four hours once a year — but it’s definitely a way you can help your community, your county and your country.”

There is another benefit to volunteering in case of a disaster, Kinsey said.

“Volunteers and their families will receive whatever countermeasures are required first,” Kinsey said. “They’ll be needed because our goal is to do the most good we can and we need your help to do it. I’d love to see the Kiwanis or any service club or employer become involved.”

The Guadalupe County Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster, or VOAD, needs 100 volunteers for a May 2 emergency disaster drill at Navarro ISD. In the long term, 1,000 volunteers are needed.

Fed to Expand Rescue Efforts by $1.2 Trillion

March 18, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: government abuse, government corruption No Comments →


Source: Washington Post

The Federal Reserve said today that it will deploy an additional $1.2 trillion to try to lower interest rates and stimulate the economy, an aggressive move aimed at containing the recession.

The central bank will increase its purchases of mortgage-backed securities by $750 billion, on top of a previously announced $500 billion. It also will double its purchases of debt in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to $200 billion. Those steps are intended to lower mortgage rates. The announcement of the previous purchases pushed mortgage rates down a full percentage point.

The Fed also said it will buy $300 billion in long-term Treasury bonds, a step it had previously considered but had been reluctant to act on. That move will lower long-term interest rates for the U.S. government directly and, Fed officials hope, will indirectly lower borrowing costs for businesses and individuals.

Following today’s announcement, Treasury bond prices spiked and yields on those bonds declined, as traders anticipated the Fed bond purchases. At 2:30 p.m., 15 minutes after the announcement, the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds had fallen half a percentage point, to 2.53 percent.

The stock market also rose steeply, with the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index up 2.2 percent at 2:30 p.m.

Since the last meeting of the Fed’s policymaking arm, “job losses, declining equity and housing wealth, and tight credit conditions have weighed on consumer sentiment and spending,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement. “Weaker sales prospects and difficulties in obtaining credit have led businesses to cut back on inventories and fixed investment.”

“In these circumstances, the Federal Reserve will employ all available tools to promote economic recovery and to preserve price stability,” the statement said.

Since cutting the interest rate it controls to essentially zero in December, the Fed has had to find other tools to try to combat a rapidly deepening recession. At its policymaking meeting that concluded today, the central bank left that rate at a range of zero to 0.25 percent.

The vote was unanimous, in contrast to the FOMC’s previous meeting, at which one official dissented.

The Fed essentially has unlimited ability to supply cash during a financial crisis by expanding its balance sheet at will, reflecting its power to create money.
