Sand Wars: The Sands are Running Out!

It's time to draw a line in the sand because we've had our collective heads buried in this loose material consisting of rock or mineral grains for far too long. The impact of this elementary particle on our lives is second to only air and water. I had no idea!

Yes, I knew that sand is melted and transformed into glass, that it's crucial to the computer industry, and, of course, to the sabbaticals we take to rest and recreate, but I had no idea that it's the foundation of our modern development, our infrastructure, our way of life. From highways and habitats--reinforced concrete is two-thirds sand-- to cleaning products to cosmetics to food and wine to you name it, sand is at the core.

The construction of one average house takes 200 tons of sand; hospital takes 3,000 tons of sand; each km of highway takes 30,000 tons of sand, and construction of a nuclear plant requires 12 million tons of sand. That's a hell of a lot of sand! This kind of demand has created the never spoken of sand wars, sand mafias, and most important of all, to environmental damage the likes of which we've never seen.

No, the following documentary has absolutely nothing to do with "flat earth". So please do not disregard if you are not a "flat earther"; it's far too important. Having said that, I am very grateful to him for uploading this all important documentary.

So Watch! and then follow it up by reading Sand Wars: True Crimes Against Nature at Clint Richardson's Reality Blog and discover that the situation is much worse than even this documentary depicts.

Has The Patriot Act Metamorphosed into The Freedom Act?

US Spy Architecture Pared Back as Part of Patriot Act Expires, shouts the Wall Street Journal. The New York Times claims a decade-long shift from focus on national security to a shift on civil liberties in the post Snowden era. Yes, the corporate owned mainstream media is doing its very best to hype the expiration of the Patriot Act while extolling the virtues of its replacement, the USA Freedom Act, in the words of the NY Times:

the strongest demonstration yet of a decade-long shift from a singular focus on national security at the expense of civil liberties to a new balance in the post-Snowden era.
Not so fast!   The spotlight is on one agency, the NSA and one expiring unconstitutional body of legislation, the Patriot Act. when they have all sorts of other ways to collect the same kind of intelligence laid out in the original Patriot Act, when there are countless other, even more powerful agencies than the NSA.  It's what the profit-seeking "news" media, owned and run by a tiny elite, obscures that leads to truth.


The massive US intelligence apparatus (see above) has already figured out how to get what it needs through other means. Broadcasting the curbing of the NSA Surveillance Program just gives we, the people false hope that's something is being done. In fact, under the Freedom Act, the program of domestic mass surveillance will only intensify. The NSA is only one of the alphabet agencies under the umbrella of the colossal Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). 

It's all a game of smoke and mirrors to mask the ever-growing build-up of the surveillance and security industrial complex. This change they're trumpeting is purely cosmetic. It's basically the transference of responsibility for the retention of cell phone metadata from the NSA to telecommunication companies which now require the NSA to get a FISA stamp of approval before obtaining call records.

What about all of the spy planes equipped with technology capable of tracking and reviewing data from tens of thousands of phones in a single flight and provided to the Department of Justice, including agencies such as the FBI, DEA, ATF, etc.? 

From How you can track the FBI’s spy planes
The thing is, when you fly planes in the U.S., you have to fill out lots of official forms that become part of the public record. Because the FBI didn’t want to publicly acknowledge it was sending “spy planes” out to circle American cities (and potentially alert its targets), it created front companies for them. It seems the FBI is uncreative when it comes to spy craft; the fake companies tracked down by the AP and by Wiseman mainly had three-letter names, including FVX Research, KQM Aviation, NBR Aviation and PXW Services. Because flight records in the U.S. are public, and planes are trackable on radar, the AP was able to track down where these planes flew.
Even politicians who speak out against the ever growing surveillance state cannot be trusted. Take Rand Paul who claims victory of the expired Patriot Act "proposed hiring 1,000 new FBI agents to track potential terrorists."

Anyway, what do you need the NSA for when you've got Google and Apple and Amazon and Facebook?

Newsflash: Big corporations and government are in bed together and cozier than ever. They don't even try to hide it anymore, what with Citizens United, huge corporate bailouts,  not to mention corporations actually write the laws that government officials don't even read.   Of course, I could go on forever but that should be enough to make one, at the very least, suspicious.

The "Warm and Fuzzy" Agenda to Control Mankind.

Smart grids, smart growth, smart phones, smart meters, smart cities, smart streets...are they trying to tell us something? That we're not smart enough to run our own lives without all of this smart technology?  Of course they are, but the real purpose behind all of this overwhelming smart and inter-connected technology is the control of individuals through steady indoctrination, and procure compliance from a centralized "government". At the same time, this smart technology is gathering all the information they can about you so they can track your every move if they so desire. Meanwhile, the proliferation of superficial and shallow "relationships" maintained by texting, tweeting and Facebooking are becoming the new normal. That may sound conspiratorial (see image above) but that's because it is. There is an agreement by powerful people in high places to deceive us into cooperating with a system that will try to control every aspect of human life. It goes by many names, often warm and fuzzy, but underneath it all, it's Agenda 21.

According to Rosa Koire,
UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development/Globalization is the standardization of systems in order to facilitate global control. ICLEI was created as a non-governmental spin-off by the United Nations in 1990 to implement Agenda 21 locally across the world. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, it is a lobbying and policy group that is designed to influence and change local governmental policies related to all aspects of human life. By concentrating power in cities this group circumvents requirements for ratification of international treaties and gives the illusion of local control. In fact the cities then ally in regional conglomerates which break jurisdictional boundaries and will destroy local control. Ultimately this facilitates global governance by invalidating individual cities, counties, states, and nations with contractual agreements and interwoven systems.

The Kyoto Treaty is an example of this. The United States did not ratify Kyoto, a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by adopting carbon trading, repudiating sprawl, and changing land use. But 1,055 United States Mayors did agree to Kyoto, indirectly, by signing onto ICLEI's Mayor's Climate Protection Campaign. Seattle, Bellevue, Bellingham, and many other Washington cities signed it. In fact it was the brainchild of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels.
Jeb Brugmann, founder of ICLEI (International Council For Local Environmental Initiatives) says the agenda is to "re-engineer what a city is." ICLEI was created, in 1990, as a non-governmental spin-off by the United Nations to implement Agenda 21 locally across the world and ICLEI's international standards have crept into our code and regulations in all of our cities, counties, states, school districts, etc..

Common Core standards are a big part of Agenda 21.  Below, Clint Richardson explains:



So far, 45 states have passed Common Core.  It will only take five more states and Common Core will be federal law:


According to Clint Richardson, CORE Education and Technologies LTD, the "for-profit education corporation that teaches American children and teachers hails not from the United States – but from India." Their annual financial report can be found here



Moreover, speaking of control, did you know that there is a "Constitutional Free Zone" in the United States? I did not, but there is a 100 mile border around the U.S. that contain 2/3 of the population—197.4 million people! Airports throughout the country are also included no matter where they are located. The Dept of Homeland Security has the authority to stop, search and detain anyone for any reason within the constitution free zone, resident or traveler.

Global Water Capitalists War for Our Water.

For thousands of years, water has been seen as a free public good, with no price attached, but that's changing right before our eyes thanks to insatiable corporate greed. Their monopolistic exploitation of water – the world's most important raw material – in order to provide fabulous returns to investors from a captive market of consumers will eventually make water, like gold, too expensive for everyone but the wealthiest of the psychopathic elite if this global water cartel gets its way.  Unfortunately, although, there is life without gold, there is no life without water...I bet you didn't know that.

And speaking of psychopaths--not to mention, disappearing lakes--here's a clear example of one: former CEO Nestlé, now Chairman of the Board, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, who strongly believes our food--GMO farming /Monsanto--and water supply should be entirely controlled by corporations like Nestle (Nestle Waters North America received permission to bottle up to 210 million gallons a year from an aquifer north of Grand Rapids that recharges the Muskegon River, a major Lake Michigan tributary), with over $65 billion--or 90 billion Swiss francs-- in profit per year.

What's more, by using a little-known loophole--the bottled water loophole-- in the 2006 Great Lakes Compact that allows water to be labeled a "commodity," our government supports the plundering of our water supply.  Not only does Nestle Company siphon water for it's bottled water brand, it exports  fresh water out of Lake Michigan and ships it to China at a "240 times markup!" Their profit: an estimated $500,000 to $1.8 million per day. That's right. Our government representatives are allowing these multinationals all the cheap water they can get in order to make large profits. If we don't fight to protect the most valuable resource we have, that is, water,

And guess how much Nestle pays for the millions, perhaps billions, of gallons of water it drains? One hundred dollars annually. And let's not forget Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens who is “the largest individual water owner in America, with rights over enough of the aquifer to drain an estimated 200,000 acre-feet a year, at least until the land goes dry.”

Nestlé PURE LIFE has become in 2008 the largest bottled water brand sold in the world. The company is in 36 countries spanning 5 continents with 64 brands.

Other Nestlé products are Perrier, Vittel, Acqua Panna, Vera, Contrex, Aquarel, Poland Spring, S.Pellegrino, Vie Pure in Algeria and Nestle Pureza vital in some Latin American Countries. Nestlé, has been acquiring water companies since 1969 when it acquired its first 30 percent stake in the Société Générale des Eaux Minérales de Vittel, in France.
It gets even better. Not only is our government involved in this water securitzation scheme, the United Nations is the brainchild of this scam.  UNESCO's Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Program's document HS 15322 explains how the "UN plans to secure resources to use at their disposal. Through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under-developed countries are forced to sell their resources to the global Elite as “full cost recovery” to the global central bankers. Once those resources are under the complete control of the creditors, they become assets to be reallocated back to the enslaved nations for a price."

With the securitization of water  , it makes water sources under central privatization cost more and become less accessible to those who desperately need it. In other words, pursuit of water security means whoever gets the water, chooses who lives and who dies.
The one water-export method that has been taking off is bottled water. It is among the fastest-growing and least-regulated industries in the world. In the 1970s, the annual volume of water bottled and traded around the world was 300 million US gallons (about 1 billion liters). By 1980, the figure had climbed to 650 million US gallons (about 2.5 billion liters), and toward the end of the decade, 2 billion US gallons (7.5 billion liters) of bottled water were being consumed in countries around the world.

But in the past five years [10 years ago], the volume of bottled water sales has skyrocketed, and in 2000, 22.3 billion US gallons (84 billion liters) of water were bottled and sold. Moreover, one-quarter of all the water bottled was traded and consumed outside its country of origin.

Among the brand name products are Perrier, Evian, Naya, Poland Spring, Clearly Canadian, La Croix, Purely Alaskan, and many more. Nestle is the world market leader in bottled water, with no fewer than 68 brands, including Perrier, Vittel, and San Pellegrino. As a past chairman of Perrier put it: "It struck me ... that all you had to do is take the water out of the ground and then sell it for more than the price of wine, milk, or for that matter, oil."

While bottled water may have started out as a pampered Western consumer affectation, Nestle has found a growing market niche for bottled water in nonindustrialized countries where safe tap water is rare or nonexistent. In these countries, its main product line is Nestle Pure Life, a low-cost purified tap water with added minerals. Marketed on a platform of "basic wholesomeness," Nestle Pure Life has sold well in Pakistan and Brazil, as have some of the corporation's other bottled water products in China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Mexico
[...]
If the OPEC model were followed, the countries containing large supplies of fresh water in the form of lakes, rivers, and glaciers would constitute such a cartel.

Studies by the highly respected Russian hydrologist Igor Shiklomanov, described by Peter Gleick in his book Water in Crisis, identify the countries with the most fresh water in the world. Twenty-eight of the world's largest fresh water lakes, he writes, account for 85 percent of the volume of all lake water, including Russia's Lake Baikal, Africa's Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Superior on the U.S.-Canadian border.

As the world's largest lake system, the Great Lakes together account for 27 percent of global lake volumes. The world's largest 25 rivers include: 11 in Asia (the Ganges, Yangtze, Yenisei, Lena, Mekong, Irrawaddy, Ob, Chutsyan, Amur, Indus, and Salween); 5 in North America (the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, Mackenzie, Columbia, and Yukon); 4 in Latin America (the Amazon, Parana, Orinoco, and Magdalena); 3 in Africa (the Congo, Niger, and Nile); and 2 in all of Europe (the Danube and the Volga).
I'm not really sure what the protocol is when posting a quote from someone commenting through Facebook on another website.  For instance, should I post their name?  Or do I even have the right to post the quote in the first place?  So I'll just post the link for the article from where the quote [below] originated because I think this quote is very revealing.
Out here in Oregon Nestle some how managed to wrangle access to the Columbia river for a new water bottling facility. My husband is a Water Rights Examiner, licensed in Oregon and Washington. I know how difficult it is for citizens to obtain water. In many areas water rights are not available to them. They are hotly contested and we've had guns drawn on us when out doing Water Rights surveys. Then along comes Nestle and they procure a Water Right for billions of gallons, for profitizing?!!! Oregon and Washington citizens have been raped by Nestle. Please don't buy Nestle water. If we don't unite to show our outrage now, they will get control of all the water."

Exposing REDD: The Agenda to Privatize Nature.

REDD+ claims to be a climate and deforestation solution, a pillar of the so-called "Green Economy."  In reality REDD+ constitutes a worldwide land grab and giant carbon offset scam to profit northern industrialized nations.  

The Global Alliance of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities on Climate Change against REDD+ And For Life  claim the "green economy" is:
….. nothing more than capitalism of nature; a perverse attempt by corporations, extractive industries and governments to cash in on Creation by privatizing, commodifying, and selling off the Sacred and all forms of life and the sky, including the air we breathe, the water we drink and all the genes, plants, traditional seeds, trees, animals, fish, biological and cultural diversity, ecosystems and traditional knowledge that make life on Earth possible and enjoyable.

….. Under the green economy, even the rain, the beauty of a waterfall or a honey bee’s pollen will be reduced to a barcode price tag and sold to the highest bidder. At the same time, the green economy promotes and greenwashes environmentally and socially devastating extractive industries like logging, mining and oil drilling as “sustainable development.
Watch the video below to get the real story of REDD, the deceptive climate ‘solution’ being proposed in California and being implemented within the UN climate negotiations and the World Bank. It sounds good on paper, but the reality is that REDD enforces the global colonization of Mother Earth; allows the polluting industry to expand its toxic emissions creating local toxic hotspots in faraway places; and creates a stolen future for Indigenous peoples, local forest dependent communities, communities living next door to a fossil fuel polluting industry, and a stolen future for the environment and all life.

The Message of the Media Circus: Accept Without Question!

In an atmosphere of growing anxiety, in which the true causes of our national condition are deliberately hidden and obfuscated by the political establishment and corporate media, there’s confusion and anger everywhere. Americans are badly informed, and downright ignorant about most things that affect their lives the most; meanwhile, saturated with things that have nothing to do with our lives at all. The motive is obvious. A misinformed and ignorant populace is much easier to control, so, we are constantly distracted from the illegal wars we're fighting in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, etc., the untold number of military bases around the world, and of the ongoing huge transfer of wealth to the top .01%.

Despite the advanced state of technology, and the enormous wealth of our nation, we, the 99%, struggle more than ever to keep our heads above water, either trying to get or maintain a job, holding on to our homes, etc., so it's much easier to simply regurgitate mainstream talking points or mainstream headlines without questioning or researching the validity of the facts that supposedly support these talking points or headlines. Yet, repeatedly, the controlled corporate press has proved itself as anything but reliable. Their methods for getting around the truth are as old as the hills. Manipulate the facts. Create the "facts". And/or suppress the facts, to one degree or another. Sometimes the suppression includes not just vital details but the entire story itself, and if it’s not reported, if it’s not news...it never happened! And anything reported outside the mainstream media outlets are just wild "rumors" of paranoid and deranged conspiracy theorists...how convenient for the political/corporate/ruling class!

However, sometimes the media is forced to come half-clean--creating the impression of candor and honesty--due to overwhelming evidence circulating, now, much more common due to the split-second, around-the-world, real-time communication available today. Keep "Operation Earnest Voice" and Online Persona Management in mind. The Internet is flooded with agents defending the government/military and/or the press, and/or corporations/banks that are paid to harass people who question official stories. I mean, really, what could possibly motivate a person to spend hours on the Internet defending the establishment/corporatocracy?

If that doesn't work, muddy up the issue in question and characterize it as impossibly complicated, thus, the truth, unknowable. At the same time, require that the "conspiracy theorists" solve the problem completely, answering all questions to this muddled controversy. If that doesn't work, "bread and circuses". Distract, entertain, and captivate the public with sensational dreck!

Would all of this be necessary if the government and the press were truly working in the best interest of its citizens? No. The State is, increasingly, playing the role of an abusive parent who provides constant contradictions in an attempt to split the personality of the child, who knowing the truth, is made to attack themselves by being fed a constant diet of lies. This immobilizes the person who can no longer establish the truth within their own mind.

Americans, especially, are indoctrinated to believe in sacrosanct institutions and ideas--military, religion, higher education, certain mainstream press outlets (NPR, NY Times, Washington Post, etc.) that are above criticism of the "mindless" masses. The "military-patriotic indoctrination" alone is enough to stop anyone questioning what's really going on behind the scenes.

Take the unprecedented suicide rate in the military. No one questions whether or not this is true; whether it is, in fact, suicide that's occurring, or whether or not, the rate of suicide is indeed,  unprecedented.  I accepted this as fact until earning about the "suicide" of Seal Team Commanding Officer, Job W. Price. Not that it's an impossibility, but a suicide of an Officer of this grade raises many questions, not to mention that over 20 Seal Team members involved in the questionable capture and murder of Osama Bin Laden are now dead. The bottom line is that it raised the question of the possibility that the exceedingly high suicide rate may incorporate some first hand witnesses to events our government/military rather the public not know. It just seems as if the so-called suicide rate of those who seek to "right wrongs" is really high and out of proportion to the norm.

Remember, the original COINTELPRO--FBI conducted more than 2000 COINTELPRO operations (tactics employed to "disrupt, misdirect, discredit or otherwise neutralize" the civil rights, black liberation, Puerto Rican independence, anti-war and student movements of the 1960s...to essentially preserve "the existing social and political order") before the programs were officially discontinued in April of 1971 after the "Citizen's Committee to Investigate the FBI" removed boxes of files from an FBI resident agency office in Media, PA--are still currently in use by  the FBI, CIA, NSA and other arms of the state.  They've learned their lessons, further insulating their actions from public scrutiny. Domestic covert operations have become a permanent feature of U.S. politics.

"Regardless of the unattractiveness or noisy militancy of some private citizens or organizations, the Constitution does not permit federal interference with their activities except through the criminal justice system, armed with its ancient safeguards. There are no exceptions. No federal agency, the CIA, the IRS, or the FBI, can be at the same time policeman, prosecutor, judge and jury. That is what constitutionally guaranteed due process is all about. It may sometimes be disorderly and unsatisfactory to some, but it is the essence of freedom...I suggest that the philosophy supporting COINTELPRO is the subversive notion that any public official, the President or a policeman, possesses a kind of inherent power to set aside the Constitution whenever he thinks the public interest, or "national security" warrants it. That notion is postulate of tyranny.— Congressman Don Edward, 1975
Cynthia McKinney said, "We would rather hold onto the myth than fight for the reality," in the documentary, American Blackout. That pretty much sums it up.

Under Cover of Darkness: The Trans-Pacific Partnership

Increasingly, corporations are gaining more and more access and influence to legislation that the public and even Congress does not have through groups like  ALEC and trade agreements such as NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that merged the United States, Canada, and Mexico creating essentially a north American continent of supposedly, "free" trade. "NAFTA contained 900 pages of one-size-fits-all rules to which each nation was required to conform all of its domestic laws - regardless of whether voters and their democratically-elected representatives had previously rejected the very same policies in Congress, state legislatures or city councils." After NAFTA was signed, two-thirds of Canadian families saw a decline in real income while two million peasant farmers were displaced from their land in Mexico, forcing many into trying to gain entrance into the United States, adding to our already growing immigration problem.

Now, there is "NAFTA on steroids," the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) (see links below), "a legally binding trade agreement for advancing transnational corporate tyranny and dismantling domestic democratic accountability" that is not only the largest “free trade agreement” ever negotiated, but also the most secretly negotiated, with "no public oversight, input, or consultations". Only two of its 26 chapters deal with trade, the rest grant unprecedented powers and privileges upon Trans-National Corporations (TNCs)while dismantling regulations and laws without any democratic oversight or input."

Take the intellectual property chapter alone, which would extend copyright provisions, if enacted into law,  from a state/federal jurisdiction to a matter of international agreement, and within that framework, plans on extending endless copyright terms across the globe  The U.S. already has the most extensive copyright terms in the world.  This is increasingly problematic for today's remix culture, intrinsic to the health of our economy. Not only can one face statutory damages, with preset fines of up to $150,000 per infringement, the criminal section of intellectual property chapter indicates an individual could face actual jail time.if it's proven that they had direct or indirect motivation for financial gain  Not to mention, copyright expansion can  be used to silence speech as they often do on websites such as Youtube.

In February 2012, powerful content groups such as the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and the MPAA (Motion Pictures  Association of America) met in Beverly Hills along with representatives from nine countries including the United States were secretly meeting in a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. Public interest groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) were shut out, their hotel reservations canceled without their consent. Another public interest group's representatives were kicked out of the hotel.

For example, public interest groups have been warning that the TPP could result in millions of lost jobs. As a letter from Congress to United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk stated, the TPP “will create binding policies on future Congresses in numerous areas,” including “those related to labor, patent and copyright, land use, food, agriculture and product standards, natural resources, the environment, professional licensing, state-owned enterprises and government procurement policies, as well as financial, healthcare, energy, telecommunications and other service sector regulations.”
The next round of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement negotiations will take place from December 3-12 in Auckland, New Zealand, and it will be done with the same level of secrecy as the last 14 rounds in order to grant far-reaching new rights and privileges to the 600 corporations aligned with the TPP at the expense of the tax-paying public. This could affect the health and welfare of billions of people worldwide, so where is the mainstream media?

The following is a list of 35 of the 134 lobbying clients who paid more than $1 million on lobbying in 2011-2012 and reported lobbying a federal agency on the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Operation Mindfuck?

If there ever was a mindfuck--something that intentionally destabilizes, confuses or manipulates the mind of another person--this is it. Because nothing adds up, and maybe that's the point...I don't know. It involves a lawsuit (first press release supposedly April 23, 2012, but that link is no longer valid) alleged to involve the largest money laundering network in U.S. history, $43 trillion dollars taken from American taxpayers in banking schemes, a major news outlet, and murdered children.  Read on and see if you can make sense of this mindfuckery.

Not even one day after the mainstream news organization, CNBC published "Major Banks, Governmental Officials and Their Comrade Capitalists Targets of Spire Law Group, LLP's Racketeering and Money Laundering Lawsuit Seeking Return of $43 Trillion to the United States Treasury," CNBC executive Kevin Krim's two children were found murdered. viciously stabbed to death, supposedly, by the Krim family's 50-year old nanny Yoselyn Ortega, who was also found with what is being reported as "self-inflicted" stab wounds.  The mainstream story goes, she slit her own throat right after she stabbed the Krim children. 

Now, despite the mainstream reporting of the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in US history, said to involve the most powerful people in the world, it could very well be a "frivolous law suit," that will fizzle out before it even gets started because the law firm, "Spire Law Group" may not be on the up and up. Perhaps this is an intentional effort to smear legitimate grievances against banks and their predatory lending practices. Who knows?  But then we have the murdered children of the  senior vice president of the mainstream news source occurring within hours of the press release.

Although, I certainly can't commit to a conspiracy here, as correlation does not necessarily indicate causality--granted the correlation here is very thin-- the inconsistencies and anomalies in this story alone, abound. Such as, why did the corporate-owned media automatically assume the nanny stabbed herself from the start? Suicide by slitting ones own throat is extremely rare, less than one percent of all suicides, primarily committed by men with military experience.  And as far as women are concerned, it's almost unheard of.

As for inconsistency, check out the conflicting reports from the NY Times:

10/25/12

"When Ms. Krim returned around 5:30 p.m., the commissioner said, she found a dark apartment. She went back down to the lobby to ask the doorman if he had seen the nanny and her children. When told that they had not left the building, she returned to the apartment. She looked around in the quiet rooms. Finally, she turned the lights on in the bathroom — and discovered her two children in the bathtub and the nanny unconscious on the floor.
10/26/12
"On Thursday evening around 5:30, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said, Marina Krim returned to her Upper West Side apartment with her 3-year-old daughter to discover her two other children, a 2-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl, dead of knife wounds in the bathtub and Ms. Ortega slashing herself with the same bloodied kitchen knife used on the children.
Of course, police have released very little information other than they have no idea why the nanny did this as she was reported to be a "caring nanny."
"The superintendent of the building where Ortega lives said that the nanny is “a very nice woman” and “very religious,” continuing, “To me, she has always been very, very stable.”
Then, there's this: Three hours before these murders were reported, there were NYPD reports of a HOSTAGE SITUATION at the Krim's address involving at least two adults and three children.

In connection with the federal lawsuit now impending in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, New York (Case No. 12-cv-04269-JBW-RML) - involving, among other things, a request that the District Court enjoin all mortgage foreclosures by the Banksters nationwide, unless and until the entire $43 trillion is repaid to a court-appointed receiver - Plaintiffs now establish the location of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money in a racketeering enterprise participated in by the following individuals (without limitation): Attorney General Holder acting in his individual capacity, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris (both acting in their individual capacities), Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary (acting in his individual capacity), Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former "communications director" for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the "Banksters" themselves, and their affiliates and conduits. The lawsuit alleges serial violations of the United States Patriot Act, the Policy of Embargo Against Iran and Countries Hostile to the Foreign Policy of the United States, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly known as the RICO statute) and other State and Federal laws.

In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP -- on behalf of home owner across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws -- has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the "Banksters" and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the "bailout programs" by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other "bailout money" advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress. Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the "Banksters" criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama's campaign from these same "Banksters" to finance its political aspirations, the national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the "Bankster" Defendants.

The complaint - which has now been fully served on thousands of the "Banksters and their Co-Conspirators" - makes it irrefutable that the epicenter of this laundering and racketeering enterprise has been and continues to be Wall Street and continues to involve the very "Banksters" located there who have repeatedly asked in the past to be "bailed out" and to be "bailed out" in the future.

The Havens for the money laundering schemes - and certain of the names and places of these entities - are located in such venues as Switzerland, the Isle of Man, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Cypress and entities controlled by governments adverse to the interests of the United States Sanctions and Embargo Act against Iran, and are also identified in both the United Nations and the U.S. Senate's recent reports on international money laundering. Many of these entities have already been personally served with summons and process of the complaint during the last six months. It is now beyond dispute that, while the Obama Administration was publicly encouraging loan modifications for home owners by "Banksters", it was privately ratifying the formation of these shell companies in violation of the United States Patriot Act, and State and Federal law. The case further alleges that through these obscure foreign companies, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank, Citigroup, One West Bank, and numerous other federally chartered banks stole trillions of dollars of home owners' and taxpayers' money during the last decade and then laundered it through offshore companies.

This District Court Complaint - maintained by Spire Law Group, LLP -- is the only lawsuit in the world listing as Defendants the Banksters, let alone serving all of such Banksters with legal process and therefore forcing them to finally answer the charges in court. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, nor the Office of the Attorney General, nor any State Attorney General has sued the Banksters and thereby legally chased them worldwide to recover-back the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) and other lawful damages, injunctive relief and other legal remedies.

James N. Fiedler, Managing Partner of Spire Law Group, LLP, stated: "It is hard for me to believe as a 47-year lawyer that our nation's guardians have been unwilling to stop this theft. Spire Law Group, LLP stands for the elimination of corruption and implementation of lawful strategies, and that is what we're doing here. Spire Law Group, LLP's charter is to not allow such corruption to go unanswered."

Comments were requested from the Attorney Generals' offices in NY, CA, NV, NH , OH, MA and the White House, but no comment was provided.

Trillions Taxpayer Money Sitting in Unpublicized Government Investment Funds

Okay, this sounds a little too good to be true, but, Foster Gamble, heir to the Procter and Gamble conglomerate, who hosts the documentary, Thrive created by Clear Compass Media LLC (making every attempt to censor Thrive Exposed), brings to light the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), that Walter Burien and Clint Richardson are working so hard to expose. I guess time will tell if Mr. Gamble's efforts are genuine, or, more than likely, another attempt to hijack the truth by our corporate rulers by spreading disinformation.

As cities and states struggle to balance their budgets, folks everywhere are losing their jobs, parks are closing and people most in need are getting left in the dust... Trillions of dollars of taxpayer money is currently sitting in unpublicized government investment funds and people are organizing to get it back.
This much is true, but, never underestimate the cunning and ingenious Machiavellian methods of the ruling class.

Carnival Cruise: Sweatshops at Sea

From Corpwatch:

Carnival Cruise staff on UK ships are paid $1.20 (75p) an hour in basic wages, according to new documents seen by the Guardian newspaper. Moreover, P&O Cruises withhold passengers' tips unless crew hit performance targets which work out to roughly 15% of wages, unless they get at least a 92% favorable rating from customers.

These wages are below the minimum level recommended by the Joint Maritime Commission of the International Labour Organization which was set at US $555 a month for salaries paid out after January 1, 2012.

“Unfortunately, because the shipping industry is largely unregulated, (workers) wages will normally depend on the kind of contract (they) have signed,” notes the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) web page for seafarers.

The $1.20 an hour wages are for staff on P&O Cruises sailing out of Southampton in the UK. The tour operator began life as Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company which operated the world's first passenger ships starting in 1822 with trips to Iberian Peninsula, and tours in 1844. The UK company merged with Carnival Corporation of Florida in 2003 to create the world’s largest cruise ship operator with annual revenues of $15.8 billion in 2011 and profits of $2.2 billion.

Today most of the workers aboard P&O are from India and the Philippines. Tours in July advertised on the site for the Carnival Legend range between $2,798 and $6,458 per passenger for a 12 day trip around northern Europe. A quick calculation suggests that P&O workers would need to work for almost 500 days to pay for a cruise themselves, assuming that they did not spend a single penny of their wages.

David Dingle, CEO of Carnival UK, told the Guardian that staff were "much happier" and many of them earned over £1,000 a month ($1,600). Some passengers were skeptical. One - Rob Bygrave of Sherborne, Dorset - told the newspaper that "grown men were in tears" after hearing about the new pay scheme.

"It's high time the disgraceful practice of allowing the shipping industry to pay poverty wages to workers who don't live in the UK was stopped,” Brendan Barber, general secretary of the Trade Union Congress told the Guardian. “Exploitative rates of pay for those working on British ships have no place in a modern society."

An estimated 1.2 million people work at sea. For them working on board a ship has never been an idyllic operation. Over 200 years after the men of the HMS Bounty rebelled against their captain for mistreatment (commemorated in a number of books and films like Mutiny on the Bounty) activists say that the ship workers are still exploited routinely.

“It’s a sweatshop at sea,” says Paul Chapman, former port chaplain, founder of the Center for Seafarers' Rights, and author of Trouble on Board: The Plight of International Seafarers.” “A ship owner can go any place in the world, pick up anybody he wants, on almost any terms. If the owner wants to maximize profit at the expense of people, it’s a piece of cake.”

“Cruise ships maintain a degree of glamour and opulence. Advertising projects images of fun and carefree times. Those of us living in port cities see impressively clean, bright and huge ships glide into our harbours, offloading passengers anxious to spend money at stores, restaurants, and with tour operators,” writes Professor Ross A. Klein of Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada who runs http://www.cruisejunkie.com/.

In an article titled “High Seas, Low Pay, Klein adds:

“The reality for many cruise-ship workers, however, is certainly not carefree, nor fun. While the working conditions for officers, cruise staff, and those working in the shops and casinos are adequate, if not good, the experience of those working in the dining room, cleaning rooms, in the galley, and below deck is quite different. These workers are often paid substandard wages, have marginal accommodations, survive on inadequate food, and live under a system that is rife with abuse and uncertainty.”
The ITF has been fighting to get European countries to adopt the Maritime Labour Convention that would require ships to maintain minimum labor standards on board ships. The UK is yet to ratify the convention.

Another Supreme Court Decision Proving the US is a Corporation First and Foremost.

What is the duty of It is NOT the duty of the police to protect you. Their job is to protect THE CORPORATION and arrest code breakers.According to the US Supreme Court, a corporation is a person when it wants to buy an election - Citizens United ruling - but when it wants to torture and murder people - unanimous ruling on Mohamad v. Palestinian Authority - it's not a person; therefore, cannot be held accountable.

The United States Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a law on the books since 1991 precludes organizations, both political and corporate, from being sued for torture or murder outside of the U.S.

In a unanimous ruling on Mohamad v. Palestinian Authority (PDF), Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that the careful text of the Torture Victims Protection Act of 1991, the way it is written "convinces us that Congress did not extend liability to organizations, sovereign or not."
Do you need any more proof that the United States is, indeed, a corporation? Because it most certainly is. Not only that, despite what you were taught in school about the Revolutionary War, that we won our independence from the Brits, the United States is still, and always has been subject to the British Crown. 

Keep in mind, the use of "Esquire" which declares anyone who uses that title, British subjection and loyalty to the crown.

The first Charter of Virginia in 1606

Using his money and resources, King James I sent his subjects to America with the expectation of gain from his commercial venture. In the Virginia Charter he declares his sovereignty over the land and his subjects and declared the amount of gold, silver and copper he was to receive. Moreover, the king declared the right to regulate every aspect of commerce in his new colony.

Treaty of Paris 1783

This treaty contradicts what we've been taught about the Revolutionary war. We did not win our total independence. Ben Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams - all Esquires - merely negotiated further granted privileges from the King of England. Quite a few, in fact, except one: his claim to continue receiving gold, silver and copper as gain (see Virginia Charter, 1606) for his commercial venture.

So, why is the King granting us privileges if we won the war? Why  was the King dictating the terms for surrender if we won the war? To this very day, the US is still paying millions of dollars per day to the Crown. Every time you pay a tax you are transferring your labor to the king, and his heirs and successors are still receiving interest from the original American Charters.

Financial servitude

Every taxpayer has an Individual Master File (IMF). Document 6209, about 467 pages, is used to decode the computer codes on the IMF records. If you retrieve your IMF, you will find that you are being held liable for a tax payable to the Crown.

Act of 1871 "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia."

The 41st Congress, under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land.  This Act created a new constitution for the District of Columbia, the corporation.

Here, you will find much more information on the purpose of the War of 1812, the forgotten amendment (#13), 

Queen Elizabeth controls and has amended U.S. Social Security (S.I. 1997 No:1778 The Social Security. A 1040 form is for tribute (tax - A contribution which is raised by a prince or sovereign from his subjects to sustain the expenses of the state. A sum of money paid by an inferior sovereign or state to a superior potentate, to secure the friendship or protection of the latter." Blacks Law Dictionary forth ed. p. 1677) paid to Britain. (IRS Publication 6209).

Read this section from Title 26  (at this link, you will find lots more info on this subject) you will see just one situation where the king is still collecting a tax from those that receive a benefit from him, on property which is purchased with the money the king supplies, at almost the same percentage:

Everyone But an Idiot Knows That The Lower Classes Must Be Kept Poor


...or They Will Never Be Industrious” —Arthur Young; 1771

It is no secret that an infinitesimally small number of people own a vastly disproportionate amount of wealth. Therefore, it should be no secret that our economic/political system is based on the greed of this infinitesimally small number of greedy power-hungry people. Yet, most Americans still believe that the governing class is well-meaning, albeit, a little dense.

Never mind the continuous creation of government policy that is hell-bent on depriving increasing numbers of us the means for self-provision. Never mind the too-big-to-fail banks that keep growing; the trillions in backdoor bailouts to Wall Street; the extension of tax cuts for the rich; unilateral executive, warrant-less surveillance; never-ending wars; crushing student debt load (student loan debt has grown 511% in 10 years), and Supreme Court rulings that allow strip-searches for traffic violations, and unlimited political expenditures by corporations.  Meanwhile major corporations have not paid any taxes for the last four years. In fact, many corporations make more money after taxes. That's right. They have a negative tax rate!

Last year, Citizens for Tax Justice found that 30 major corporations had made billions of dollars in profits while paying no federal income tax between 2008 and 2010. Today, CTJ updated that report to reflect the 2011 tax bill of those 30 companies, and 26 of them have still managed to pay absolutely nothing over that four year period:

If they  paid the 35% rate, that would've been $78.3 billion more in federal income taxes.

One in Three Americans in Poverty While .01% Earn 50% of All Capital Gains

And don't let Fox News tell you that the top 1% pays 50% of the taxes. They don't. The top 1% employ people to find all of the loopholes and deductions so that they do not have to pay taxes. But yes, the top .01% of the nations earn half of all the capital gains. God only knows, the top 1% probably take in the other half +/- a few percentage points.

Income and wealth disparities become even more absurd if we look at the top 0.1% of the nation's earners-- rather than the more common 1%. The top 0.1%-- about 315,000 individuals out of 315 million-- are making about half of all capital gains on the sale of shares or property after 1 year; and these capital gains make up 60% of the income made by the Forbes 400.
Meanwhile one in three Americans are in poverty, or very close to it.
When the Census Bureau this month released a new measure of poverty, meant to better count disposable income, it began altering the portrait of national need. Perhaps the most startling differences between the old measure and the new involves data the government has not yet published, showing 51 million people with incomes less than 50 percent above the poverty line. That number of Americans is 76 percent higher than the official account, published in September. All told, that places 100 million people — one in three Americans — either in poverty or in the fretful zone just above it.

Hollywood Wants to Break the Internet.

Hollywood wants to break the Internet


PROTECT IP Act Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

As promised, here’s the first installment of our closer review of the massive piece of job-killing Internet regulation that is the Stop Online Piracy Act. We’ll start with how it could impact Twitter, Tumblr, and the next innovative social network, cloud computing, or web hosting service that some smart kid is designing in her garage right now.

Let’s make one thing clear from the get-go: despite all the talk about this bill being directed only toward “rogue” foreign sites, there is no question that it targets US companies as well. The bill sets up a system to punish sites allegedly “dedicated to the theft of US property.” How do you get that label? Doesn’t take much: Some portion of your site (even a single page) must

be directed toward the US, and either
allegedly “engage in, enable or facilitate” infringement or
allegedly be taking or have taken steps to “avoid confirming a high probability” of infringement.

If an IP rightsholder (vaguely defined – could be Justin Bieber worried about his publicity rights) thinks you meet the criteria and that it is in some way harmed, it can send a notice claiming as much to the payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal etc.) and ad services you rely on.

Once they get it, they have 5 days to choke off your financial support. Of course, the payment processors and ad networks won’t be able to fine-tune their response so that only the allegedly infringing portion of your site is affected, which means your whole site will be under assault. And, it makes no difference that no judge has found you guilty of anything or that the DMCA safe harbors would shelter your conduct if the matter ever went to court. Indeed, services that have been specifically found legal, like Rapidshare, could be economically strangled via SOPA. You can file a counter-notice, but you’ve only got 5 days to do it (good luck getting solid legal advice in time) and the payment processors and ad networks have no obligation to respect it in any event. That’s because there are vigilante provisions that grant them immunity for choking off a site if they have a “reasonable belief” that some portion of the site enables infringement.

At a minimum, this means that any service that hosts user generated content is going to be under enormous pressure to actively monitor and filter that content. That’s a huge burden, and worse for services that are just getting started – the YouTubes of tomorrow that are generating jobs today. And no matter what they do, we’re going to see a flurry of notices anyway – as we’ve learned from the DMCA takedown process, content owners are more than happy to send bogus complaints. What happened to Wikileaks via voluntary censorship will now be systematized and streamlined – as long as someone, somewhere, thinks they’ve got an IP right that’s being harmed.

In essence, Hollywood is tired of those pesky laws that help protect innovation, economic growth, and creativity rather than outmoded business models. So they are trying to rewrite the rules, regulate the Internet, and damn the consequences for the rest of us.

Watch this space for more analysis, but don’t wait to act. This bill cannot be fixed; it must be killed. The bill’s sponsors (and their corporate backers) want to push this thing through quickly, before ordinary citizens get wind of the harm it is going to cause. If you don’t want to let big media control the future of innovation and online expression, act now, and urge everyone you know to do the same.

Watch How the FDA Suppresses a Cure For Cancer.

The following documentary is a MUST-SEE for everyone! I have yet to see anything so fully documented that exposes the extraordinary measures that the FDA will resort to in order to ensure that cancer remains the killer that it is, and  that Chemotherapy remains the torture-chamberous non-curing treatment that it is. Not to mention, this film, in addition to detailing the FDA's 14 year campaign to remove Dr. Stanislaus Burzynski, who found a cure for cancer, from society, also reveals the battle Dr. Burzynski had with the National Cancer Institute, who is just as bad.


"Our bodies contain two categories of genes that allow cancer to flourish: oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes. When someone has cancer, they have a higher level of oncogenes switched on, with a higher level tumor suppressor genes switched off.

The goal is to tell the body to both switch back on the tumor suppressor genes, and turn off as many oncogenes as possible."
It comes to no surprise to most of us that the median annual American pharmaceutical company profits triples the median annual profits of all of the Fortune 500 companies. But, how does Big Pharma maintain these astounding profits? Well, through its gatekeeper: the FDA, and the National Cancer Institute.

"Big Phama" didn't manifest overnight. It was an ongoing process that started in the 1970s and 1980s.  At the time,  profitability of the pharmaceutical industry was two times greater than the median of all industries in the Fortune 500. In the 1990s, when the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA)- which authorizes drug companies to pay "user-fees" to the FDA for each brand-name drug considered for approval, greatly speeding up the approval process - kicked in, the drug industry's profitability grew to almost four times greater than the median for all industries in the Fortune 500.

After the PDUFA was enacted, the part of the FDA that reviews new drugs received more than half its money from user fees and it grew by leaps and bounds.  Meanwhile, the part of the FDA that monitors safety, ensures manufacturing standards, and checks ads for accuracy deteriorated. Not only that, the approval process for brand-name drugs shortened to 3 months, from its previous 21 months. Yet, here it is 2011, and Antineoplaston Therapy has been waiting approval since 1977.

On June 21, 1977, Dr. Burzynski's attorney's investigated both state and federal law to find out if it was legal for him to start his own biomedical research company to make the Antineoplastons (non toxic cancer treatment) and administer them to patients within his private practice.  He found out it was legal as long as he avoided interstate commerce.

However, it was not soon after that Burzynski's patients found themselves harassed by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners(TMB) to file charges against their doctor, and the FDA started its witch hunt.

In 1983, the FDA obtained an injunction from a federal district court prohibiting Dr. Burzynski and the Burzynski Research Institute from shipping antineoplastons in interstate commerce without first obtaining the approval of the FDA. The injunction, however, did not preclude intrastate distribution of the antineoplastons.

On July 28, 1986, the TMB began investigating Dr. Burzynski, even though no formal complaint had been filed, and on November 18, 1986, a notarized agreement between Burzynski and the TMB was created requiring the doctor resent a list of 40 successful cases.  He submitted double that number. He never heard back.

On September 6, 1988, the TMB convened a hearing to decide whether or not to revoke Burzynski's medical license. Texas State Board of Medical Examiners vs. S. Burzynski

Dr. Burzynski faced numerous battles with the federal government over the years. Between 1986 and 1994, he was subjected to three federal grand jury investigations. No indictments were ever handed down. However, during that time federal officials raided his research clinic and confiscated his patients' medical records.

Then in March 1995, Dr. Burzynski appeared on the CBS TV show "This Morning," accompanied by three of his patients. That very afternoon, the FDA raided his clinic again. A fourth federal grand jury investigation got underway, and by November 1995, charged Dr. Burzynski with 40 counts of distributing a non-FDA approved drug in interstate commerce, 34 counts of mail fraud, and one count of contempt of court for violating the order against interstate delivery of Antineoplastons. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) noted that a grand jury's failure to indict someone after three attempts is "virtually unprecedented."

On February 9, 1996, US District Court Judge Sim Lake ruled that Dr. Burzynski cannot treat patients outside of clinical trials. In other words, he issued a death sentence for hundreds of Dr. Burzynski's patients.

This prosecution marked the first time the FDA had tried to jail a scientist for using a drug on which he was conducting FDA authorized clinical trials. This trial alone, which was not even based on whether or not antineoplastons work or not cost the American taxpayer $60 million, while costing Dr. Burzynski over $2.2 million!

On March 4, 1997, due to a dead-locked jury, a mistrial was declared.

The FDA still did not back down. A second federal trial got underway May 19, 1997 to try Dr. Burzynski on the contempt of court charge. A federal jury acquitted Dr. Burzynski on May 27, 1997.

At the same time, Dr. Burzynski was fighting the Texas Medical Examiner's Board and the FDA, the National Cancer Institute, under Dr. Michael Friedman, tried to co-opt his discovery and render it ineffective.

A former employee of Dr. Burzynski, Dvorit Samid, betrayed him when she partnered with Elan Pharmaceutical through her employment with the National Cancer Institute and tried to hijack Burzynski's discovery. The problem was that she used only one component of the antineoplaston, phenylacetate, which when isolated, has very little clinical effect.

When that didn't work, the National Cancer Institute said they would accept Dr. Burzynski's antineoplastons; however, only if they could revise the protocol that Dr. Burzynski had perfected. Burzynski refused. The NIC threatened with patent infringement. Finally, they came to an agreement. Yet, within a very short time, in March 1995, the NIC tried to drastically alter Burzynski's protocol to make his treatment less effective!!

Four years after the NCI trials were closed and two years after Burzynski defeated the FDA, winning his freedom, the NCI, in February of 1999, decided to vindictively publish the scientifically invalid Antineoplaston trials in peer-reviewed medical literature. However, whoever published the invalid trials forgot to leave out the dosage, which in some patients was 2.7 times lower than the protocol demanded, and in other patients, 36 times lower, and, in even other patients, 170 times lower!

Li-Chuan Chen, PhD, who worked as a scientist for the National Cancer Institute from 1991-1997, said that when the NCI or assigned entities conducted trials on alternative cancer therapies they always altered the protocol and let it fail in order to discredit the therapy. He went on to say, "Scientists never look at it carefully, because as he says, Popeye is telling you something and you don't question him...under the capitalist sun, there is nothing sacred."

Here's the kicker. On October 21. 1991, the United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services, along with "Inventor": Dvorit Samid filed a patent for Antineoplastons. On October 12. 1993, the US and Dvorit Samid file for a second patent on Antineoplastons. And on March 7, 1994, the US and Dvorit Samid file its most comprehensive patent spanning 111 pages. Seven months later they file a fourth one. On 6/6/1995, the US files its 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th extended patent. The next day, the US files its 9th, 10th, and 11th patent. A few months later, Dr. Michael Friedman leaves his position at the NCI and becomes Deputy Commissioner of Operations for the FDA, working directly under Dr. David Kessler.

In the three years (1997-2000) after Dr. Burzynski was indicted, all of the US patents for Antineoplastons were approved. However, one paragraph within these patents, in particular, is quite revealing:


Since 2009, the  only obstacle in the way of Antineoplasmons is the $300 million pricetag on the final phase of FDA clinical testing...and the FDA's requirement that children with inoperable brainstem glioma to also under go radiation treatment in these Phase 3 trials, claiming it would be unethical to do otherwise.

The Towers Kept Falling: The Hijacking of Our Minds

Taken directly from the film, Who Killed John O'Neill? :

On July 3rd, 1979, the CIA gave birth to Islamic fundamentalism when President Carter signed a directive for United States intelligence to provide radical Islamic thinking and arms to Afghan fighters, before the Soviet Union invaded. This is documented in a 1998 interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter's National Security Advisor.

Creating a radical branch of Islam was a way to draw the Soviets into a war with Afghanistan, giving them their Vietnam War. It destroyed their economy. During this war, the US, UK, and Pakistan all supported groups of Arab fighters known as the Mujahedeen. Two of the freedom fighters were Ramzi Yousef and Osama Bin Laden. Books printed by the University of NE and paid for by the US Department of Education taught the Mujahedeen radical theories of Islam and treated them to math problems and literature riddled with allusions to guns, bombs, tanks, war, overall training them to be violent.

After the Soviets withdrew, the Mujahedeen were left, without support, in a war-torn, and socially unstable nation state. So they started a second resistance movement aimed toward the U.S.

In the late 1980s, Al Qaeda was formed, an intelligence operation that from its inception has been trained, funded and supported by the Pakistani Intelligence operation, the ISI, which is an arm of the CIA.

Iran Contra channeled money to countries considered terrorist nations like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon. And as the other half of the hand-shake, trillions of dollars of narcotics from the Middle East, the far East and Latin America have made their way into this country. This shows a pattern of fraud and complicity by the US government to promote instability abroad to promote their domestic agenda

Meanwhile, the media is trying to scare us all into submission, ignoring the links between our government and terrorist nations.

Now, the official story says Omar Saeed Sheikh is the pay master for lead hijacker Mohammad Atta, and Khalid Shaikh Muhammad as the operational master-mind behind the attacks. Both men are well-known ISI agents, and Omar Saeed Sheikh murdered Daniel Pearl in 2002. Pearl was investigating ISI ties to Al Qaeda and 9/11, so he was killed to prevent Pearl from printing a major story linking ISI to Al Qaeda, because that, in turn, would implicate the CIA.

Could it be that specific agendas within specific parts of government, media and industry, have created a propaganda campaign to wage war, with 9/11 as the prime selling point?

On February 26, 1993, the second anniversary of the end of the Gulf War, a bomb went off in the WTC. Six people were killed and thousands were injured.

Could the 1993 event have been a staged event, a psyop (a clandestine intelligence operation used to shift people's perceptions to a pre-defined agenda that are sometimes used with more overt actions called military ops) to shine a light on the towers to convince people that they were future targets of terrorism?

After 1993, a series of terror attacks plagued the US: the OKC bombing in 1995, the Embassy bombings in Africa in 1998, the USS Cole in 2000 in Yemin, and the biggest "selling point" of all, 9/11/2001, after which, the counter terrorism pundits said, Al Qaeda always wanted to finish the job.

But, wait a minute. The OKC bombing? It doesn't fit in. Or, does it? Timothy McVeigh's lawyer contends that Terry Nichols made several trips to the Philippines to meet with Ramzi Yousef , master mind of 1993 WTC bombing. McVeigh served in the Gulf War, and he slipped out of the country with an Iraqi passport. McVeigh and Nichols both visit Al Qaeda training camps after the Gulf War. Coincidence? Moreover, hundreds of thousands of documents were withheld by the FBI from McVeigh's attorneys. The director of the FBI at the time was Louis Freeh.

Moreover, the OKC bombing clearly sent the message that dissenters are dangerous. Therefore, anyone who questions the government can be lumped in with people as crazy as Timothy McVeigh..

Kroll Associates

A Managing Director at Kroll has said, "Kroll is like a private CIA."

Kroll Associates is a global security and intelligence company. Publicly traded and privately managed, Kroll specializes in large building security and industrial espionage. In 1993, Kroll got a contract to manage security at the World Trade Center. They held that position up until the moment the Towers fell.

The CEO of Kroll was  Michael Cherkasky, who was a former assistant district attorney under Robert Morgenthau in Manhattan. Former employees of Kroll include people like, William Bratton, former police Commissioner in Boston and New York City, and now Chief of the LAPD. And then of course, Brian Jenkins, who is based out of Los Angeles, and was the country's foremost "expert" on aviation terrorism. Now working for the powerful think-tank, The RAND Corporation, Jenkins is a noted counter-terrorism pundit and appears on many talk shows and news magazines.

Which brings us to Jerome Hauer   (left), the go-to-guy for bio-terrorism. As a Managing Director of Kroll in New York City, Hauer was responsible for doing security at the World Trade Center. John Hauer is also the guy who got John O'Neill his job, as head of security at the World Trade Center.

“John O’Neill was head of the FBI’s counterterrorism branch in Washington. He led every important investigation you can name — the USS Cole, Tanzania, Kenya bombings. He retired three weeks ago. I helped him get the job as head of security for the World Trade Center. And the irony is, the guy he chased for most of his career killed him."- Jerome Hauer

Prior to this, Jerome Hauer was Rudi Giuliani's right-hand-man in New York, where he headed up the Office of Emergency Management, OEM - FEMA in New York City. And it was by Jerome Hauer's suggestion, that Mayor Giuliani constructed what became known as the 'federal bunker offices' in World Trade Center building number 7. Fire-proof, bomb-proof, bullet-proof... these OEM offices were basically Giuliani's headquarters in New York City, until WTC7 collapsed on 9-11.  Hauer is also a well-known advisor to the 'Council on Foreign Relations', formerly worked for the 'National Institutes of Health', and is currently the head of the 'Office of Public Health Preparedness'.

On the morning of 9-11, just as the attacks were happening, Hauer instructed the entire White House staff to go on Cipro, the anti-Anthrax drug.

How did he know Anthrax was going to become an issue?

Well, Hauer worked in 1999 with Stephen Hatfill, the prime suspect in the Anthrax attacks, at the Scientific Applications International Corporation, the SAIC. This company, the SAIC, was awarded a huge bio-defense contract after 9-11. Hatfill, a well-known friend of Jerome Hauer, was working for the military grade Anthrax program at USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and Battelle, a chemicals company with long-standing ties to the CIA. Hauer was well-aware of the USAMRIID project in Maryland.

In a nutshell, Kroll has been involved in a host of shady operations. In 1991, the Kuwaiti government hired Kroll to investigate Saddam Hussein's finances. In 2002, Kroll was given the massive responsibility of reorganizing Enron. Through '97 and '98, Kroll oversaw the elections of the Teamsters Union. And just following 9-11, Kroll was tapped by the LAPD to monitor all counter-terrorism efforts in Los Angeles.

Kroll is also tied to the FBI, as well. The director of the FBI during WACO and the first World Trade Center bombing was a man by the name of William Sessions. When he left the bureau, he became a shareholder of Kroll. The next FBI Director was Louis Freeh, and Louis Freeh's top advisor at the Bureau was a guy named James Bucknam. Guess where he works now? He's a Managing Director of Kroll.

At the time this film was made, Freeh was Senior Vice President at the MBNA credit card corporation. His specific duties include personnel and security. Next to Enron, MBNA was the largest campaign contributor to George W. Bush in 2000

One of Freeh's Deputy Directors was James K. Kallstrom. At the time of 9-11, Kallstrom was head of New York State's Office of Public Security. He also worked at MBNA with Louis Freeh. Both are well-known friends of Jerome Hauer. Supposedly, MBNA was one of the companies heavily involved in pre-9-11 insider trading, which would have been investigated by the SEC, if not for the destruction of all of those records WTC #7. How convenient!

There are other companies like Kroll, such as T and M Protection, run by Robert Tucker, who met with O'Neill and Hauer the night before 9/11.  Then there's Strang-Hayes Consulting, Wackenhut Corporation, CTC International, and The Cohen Group.

And let's not forget Stratesec - formerly called SecuraCom. Stratesec also had a contract to do security at the World Trade Center. SecuraCom also had security contracts for Dulles International Airport and United Airlines. Remember, United had two planes crash on 9-11, and one of those planes came from Dulles.

Now an interesting note about SecuraCom is that from 1993 to 2000, one of its principle shareholders was a man by the name of, Marvin Bush (left) the president's younger brother.

So how did all of these guys - Cherkasky, Jenkins, Bratton, Hauer -  become terrorism pundits?  Where do they get all their information?

They aren't official law enforcement or intelligence. Yet, somehow, they became the foremost experts on counter-terrorism?  Many of them are former law enforcement, but since terrorism is one of the most closely guarded fields in all of intelligence, what's the deal with them broadcasting this information on national television? Well, to build up the propaganda, obviously. To frame up al Qaeda before and after the fact. There is no question that Kroll is intimately linked to the CIA. So, these people have so much information about terrorism because they are either deeply rooted to intelligence, or they are intelligence, privatized in order to make their work legal and untouchable by Congress. Brilliant, indeed!

It's no coincidence that Kroll did security at those buildings, and have more inside knowledge about terrorism than even the FBI and CIA do.  They are well-placed operatives working a specific agenda, to frame the patsies. These people profit from insider knowledge of coming terrorist attacks. They don't disclose their credentials or their contacts. They merely claim they are "experts" from "Kroll" and that's supposed to mean they are trustworthy.

Cherkasky was the CEO of Kroll until it was acquired by Marsh and McLennan Companies, Inc., of which Mr. Cherkasky was appointed President and CEO. He held this position until 2008. Cherkasky takes us back to New York and the US Attorney's office in the Southern District of Manhattan. Louis Freeh spent his entire career in law enforcement in New York City before becoming FBI Director. From 1981 to 1991, Freeh worked as a U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York City, and Rudi Giuliani worked in that same office from 1983 to 1993, just before he became mayor. Cherkasky was in New York at the same time. Cherkasky was doing a lot of prosecutions too... including Gotti and BCCI, under the oversight of Robert Mueller III. Mueller also oversaw the Noriega case. Noriega, Gotti and the BCCI have one other thing in common: they were all key players in the global drug trade.

Drugs are at the core of this story. The global drug trade is covered with even less honesty in the mainstream press than 9/11 is.

The war between the Soviets and the Afghans ended in 1979. Meanwhile, the drug trade from Latin America was heating up, with significant assistance from the CIA. It started big time with the formation of the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia in 1978.

Founded by Carlos Lehder, the Ochoa bothers and Pablo Escobar, the Medellin cartel operated by manufacturing the Coca plant into cocaine and distributing it into the US. The collaboration began when Lehder purchased an island in the Bahamas where corporate tax and banking laws are extremely lenient. He used that land to launder the money taken in by the drug sales. The Bahamas are home to thousands of tax-exempt corporations, including companies owned and managed by American International Group, AIG, the largest insurance company in the world and the sixth largest corporation in the world. One of AIG's companies in the Bahamas is named after a woman called Coral Talavera. And who is she? She's Carlos Lehder's wife. She is the head of an AIG branch in San Francisco.

Carlos Lehder was extradited from Columbia to the United States for trial in 1987. A year later he was convicted and sentenced to life plus 135 years for drug trafficking and murder. While he was in prison Carlos Lehder struck a deal with the United States. Take down the cartel and he would be granted freedom. Along the way, he implicated and then testified against Manuel Noriega, Panamanian dictator and middleman for the Medellin cartel. Noriega was captured through an invasion of Panama in 1989 under the first President Bush. He was convicted of drug running, money laundering and racketeering in 1992. And Lehder? According to the official US record, whereabouts unknown.

See, there's one thing that ties all these points together - the cartel, AIG, de CIA, the Contras, Noriega - one thing connects them all.

The BCCI. The Bank of Credit and Commerce International, or for our discussion today, the granddaddy of all money laundering scams. The BCCI was and remains the largest instance of fraud and bankruptcy in global history. Operated out of Abu Dhabi, the BCCI operated without fail throughout the 70's and 80's as a money laundering and investment finance bank. This is documented by the investigation of Morgenthau and Cherkasky in New York, also by the investigation in the United States Senate which was headed by Senator John Kerry.

Financial ties can be made between the BCCI and Manuel Noriega through his facilitation of the drug trade. By 1992 the BCCI was broke and busted up by U.S. authorities. The primary shareholder of the BCCI is a guy named Bin Mahfouz, a Saudi financier and investment banker whose other claim to fame is  his dubious investment in Harken Energy in the late 80s, one of George W. Bush's companies.  Yes, this man with a 20% stake in the largest money laundering operation the world's ever seen saved W's business career.  Yes, this man who was known to have funneled money to Osama Bin Laden.

The drug trade escalated in the 1980's with Reagan as president and Bush as V.P. The greatest drug smuggler in the history of drug smuggling is a guy named Barry Seal. He was an admitted CIA agent, who contracted at least as far back as the early 60's. In the early 60's, Barry Seal is living in New Orleans, where he joins the Civil Air Patrol Unit, whose captain is an eccentric fellow by the name of David Ferrie. Ferrie was by all indications a conspirator in the JFK assassination. Another member of the Civil Air Patrol Unit was Lee Harvey Oswald. So seemingly the drug trade is somehow tied to the JFK assassination.

But the connections don't stop there. Barry Seal was a pilot, a great pilot by all accounts. In late 1963 Seal is seen is a photo with Frank Sturgis,  identified and convicted as one of the five Watergate burglars, and Felix Rodriguez. Sturgis  testified in court that his handler on that assignment was E. Howard Hunt, who  went on to work in the Nixon White House. The Rockefeller Commission, who investigated illegal acts by the CIA in 70's, regarded both Hunt and Frank Sturgis as possible conspirators in the JFK assassination. What is Barry Seal doing in a photograph with a possible JFK assassin? But it's the other man in the Seal photograph who has a more ominous distinction.

Felix Rodriguez was a Cuban refugee. In the late 50's he began working with the CIA to recruit more refugees for an invasion of Cuba. This was done under the direction of CIA agent Ted Shackley. Incidentally, Ted Shackley also worked the Far East drug trade with Richard Secord in the early 50's. Felix Rodriguez also figures into the assassination of Bolivian president Che Guevara in 1967. So where is Barry Seal in all of this? He's in New Orleans until at least 1968, when he takes over for the late David Ferrie as captain of the Civil Air Patrol.

Now in the early 70's, Barry Seal's running cocaine through New Orleans. He's running it on planes later identified to be former Air America planes. Planes used by the CIA in the 50's and 60's to ship heroin from the Far East. When the Medellin cartel is founded, Seal immediately hooks up with their operation. By 1981, he is trafficking in more drugs than anyone in the history of this country. And it is around this time that Barry Seal moves his operation from New Orleans to Mena, Arkansas, about 180 miles from Little Rock, a small, little out-of-the-way mountain town. A small, little out-of-the-way mountain town that just happens to have a major U.S. airport, the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport.

From at least 1981 to 1986 this airport is ground zero for all illegal narcotics activity in the United States. You see, Barry Seal began flying his drugs into this airport, most likely with the knowledge of then-president Reagan and the next two presidents, Bush and Clinton.  It is suspected that Seal traffics in nearly $5 billion worth of cocaine in this five-year period.

The U.S. Attorney for Arkansas at this time, Asa Hutchinson, never opens an investigation, even though FBI informants, Mena employees, and the Arkansas State Police have all told him that this illegal drug trafficking has been occurring. Ironically, Hutchinson went on to head the DEA and is now the Undersecretary for Border Transportation and Security in the Department of Homeland Security.

So Seal is virtually untouchable for this period. Even though the FBI and the DEA have opened up investigations into his operation, he remains a contract agent with the CIA. But with overwhelming evidence of drug trafficking mounting against him, he finally turns State's evidence in 1985, and testifies in several trials against Medellin traffickers.

This compromises the entire CIA operation. Barry Seal isn't only running drugs for the cartel, he's also involved in the drugs for arms trade in Nicaragua. The DEA even places him in a sting to photograph Contras loading cocaine onto an airplane in Nicaragua. And this pisses the CIA off, but good.

Seal's next mission is to trick Pablo Escobar and the Ochoa brothers into coming to a neutral third-party country where they'll be extradited. He's about to take down the entire Medellin cartel. But then news of Seal's cooperation with the DEA became leaked to the national media. He has to be called back in mid-air from his task to meet with the Ochoa brothers and Pablo Escobar. And who's responsible for this press leak? Admittedly, it is none other than Oliver North, the primary figure in the Iran-Contra scandal. Barry Seal is later gunned down in Baton Rouge, assassinated by the Medellin cartel. It is rumored that on his dead body is the personal private phone number of George H. W. Bush.

The Mena operation is already in jeopardy, but it becomes a major problem when one of Seal's former planes is shot down by Sandinistas later in 1986. The only survivor of the crash is a man named Eugene Hasenfus, and he claims he is running cocaine for the CIA. The plane can be tracked back to Mena. So for the time being, the Mena operation is close to being exposed.

No president has ever spoken directly about the events in Mena, Arkansas. However, Governor Clinton, just when he was rising from obscurity to become president, made his only public comments about the massive drug operation being conducted right in his own backyard. In 1991 Clinton referred to the Arkansas State Police investigation into Mena, and the drug trafficking thereof, as having "linkages to the federal government" and "all kinds of questions as to whether he," meaning Seal, "had any links to the CIA, and if that backed into the Iran-Contra deal."

The War on Drugs is just a war against the inner cities....against the underclass. 

The wealthy line their pockets with all the illegal drug money, drugs that they bring into the country themselves, then they peddle them off to the poor people in the ghettos. In the 1980's the number of Americans in prison doubled, from 500,000 to one million. Most of these convicts are drug offenders. And from '85 to '88 alone, prosecutions for white drug offenders dropped 15% while they rose 88% for blacks, even though it is estimated at this time that 80% of all drug users are white.

Ironically, one of the security companies linked to the CIA, Wackenhut Cooperation, owns and maintains its own private prisons here in the U.S. It is another form of government-sponsored terrorism. Poverty, violence, death... these all stem from drug abuse. Think about Prohibition. The government lifted the ban on alcohol because the social ills of alcohol abuse weren't nearly as bad as the violence that went along with the criminal importation of alcohol. So why not legalize all drugs? Surely there would be more drug addiction, more drug-related death,but there would be far less violence associated with the illegal sale of narcotics. Which is the lesser of two evils?

The CIA has destroyed the inner cities of this country. Destroyed millions of lives, at a profit. I'll give you one guess as the primary bank used in laundering the money from the global drug trade. The BCCI.

And then there's AIG, who owns and maintains over 400 airplanes. Any number of these planes can be used for the transfer of narcotics. And in 1987, the Arkansas Development Financial Agency collaborated with AIG to found Coral Reinsurance. Named after Carlos Lehder's wife the same year Lehder was extradited. The formation of this company has never been filed with the SEC. There's no known paperwork on it at all. And Arkansas was where Seal was flying in his drugs, with Bill Clinton as governor of Arkansas, during the heyday of the BCCI, with Noriega still in power in Panama and with John Gotti heading the New York mafia where more drugs end up than anywhere in the world.

AIG's founder is a well-known CIA operative, C.V. Starr, and one of AIG's current directors is the son of CIA founder Frank Wisner. The chairman and CEO of AIG is a man named Maurice "Hank" Greenberg. He's formerly the head of the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve. Not only that, in 1995 his name was floated by of all people, J. Rockefeller to be head of the CIA.

Instead, Bill Clinton appointed John Deutsch, who had been a director of the SAIC, the technology and bio-defense company that had formerly been advised by Jerome Hauer and Stephen Hatfill. Maurice Greenberg has also chaired the Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR, one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

Founded in 1921 by President Wilson's chief counsel, Colonel Edward House, the CFR operates as the primary advisor to the United States government. The CFR's principal contact in the U.S. is the CIA. And the chairman of the CFR is the CEO of AIG. With its obvious intelligence links, insurance companies are the foremost private intelligence gathering agencies in the world.  Who knows more about you than your insurance company? Your medical records, your bank records, your driving records, your personal history. Your life story. Just think if that company was sharing information with the government. Worse, just think if that company had 100 billion dollars in assets, and could invest that money at will. In 1993 AIG became the principal shareholder of Kroll Associates.

The CIA runs the global drug trade. For what purpose? And what does it have to do with 9/11?

70% of the world's opium is produced in Afghanistan. Think about that for a second. The CIA has run heroin and cocaine for 50 years. They had a military presence in Afghanistan in the 80's, and they created the Mujahedeen. After the fall of the CIA in the 70's, and with the near-disastrous Iran-Contra and Mena exposures the intelligence community, it had to realize that its facilitation of the drug trade, if revealed to the public, could prove fatal to any and all future endeavors. So if you're the CIA you might get a little smarter about it.

With Mena, the CIA had no cover story. No backup plan. Instead the entire operation was nearly outed and the whole global drug trade almost became public knowledge. You have to move the Mena operation. Well where do you move it to? Someplace even more out of the way than Mena. And what's more out of the way than flight school?

Where did Mohammed Atta get his flight training?

Huffman Aviation School in Venice, Florida. There are over 200 flight schools in Florida. Why did the hijackers just happen to choose Huffman? Huffman Flight school is authorized by the INS to offer these very popular vocational student visas to foreigners. These allow people to enter the country legally and without much paperwork. Mohammed Atta had one of these visas. Guess who gave it to him? Rudy Deckers, CEO of Huffman Aviation. And there is overwhelming evidence that Rudy Deckers works for the CIA.

Why would a CIA agent run a flight school?

On July 5th, 2000, the DEA discovered over 30 pounds of heroin on a plane owned by Wally Hilliard, the owner of Huffman Aviation. The same Huffman Aviation which in the 1990's induced hundreds of Arab students to come and train at their school by issuing these highly coveted visas. Is it starting to make sense now?

30 pounds of heroin, Arab men posing as students, a CIA agent as CEO...Aha! the Mena operation didn't stop, it just changed locations, to this flight school and probably dozens of others.

And Mohammed Atta's role in all of this?

He is not training to be a pilot, he is a pilot. He is the new Barry Seal. There is evidence that Mohammed Atta had flight training at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. And if he already has flight training, why is he attending a flight training school? Who says Al Qaeda is a terrorist operation? Al Qaeda was formed in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The phrase translates literally to mean "the Base." They're essentially an arm of the former Mujahedeen, which was created by the CIA. The CIA runs drugs globally. The CIA trains its own armies and pilots. and instills a military presence in every country, all around their crop.

 The Sandinistas, the Colombian death squads... and now, Al Qaeda. If you're pushing 70% of the world's heroin out of one country, and something goes wrong and the operation becomes public, you need a backup plan. Al Qaeda isn't involved in terrorism. They're just framed up as terrorists to hide their true nature. They're a drug cartel, plain and simple.

On that video they show, of Osama firing his machine gun and training all those people... he's not training terrorists, he's training soldiers. Soldiers to guard the heroin trade. When 9/11 happens, and Al Qaeda is pinned for the crime, no one cares at all about the heroin smuggling. Because drug smuggling means nothing to people who have just watched the World Trade Center explode.

How could Al Qaeda smuggle all this heroin out of Afghanistan when the Taliban abolished all poppy farming in 1999?

They did?  Sure, the U.S. claims they did. But if the Taliban did this, how did they make $40 million in taxes on opium farmers in 2000? The Taliban only eradicated their crop on paper. In reality, the heroin trade continued.

But, There were ariel photographs, surveillance, satellite imagery, showing the fields being burned.

Of course, because part of the process of growing any crop is eradicating the fields to then re-grow the plants. And it makes no sense for the Taliban to stop the flow of opium. It's the only thing keeping their economy afloat at all. And the Taliban is installed in Afghanistan specifically for the purpose of keeping the heroin flow coming. Because if you have a cartel like Al Qaeda, functioning as a patsy, being blamed for terrorist attacks all over the world, you would need a government not recognized by the United Nations. And that way, you couldn't extradite any of the terrorists, and the heroin trade goes on without missing a beat.

So, the only reason they do 9/11 is specifically to hide the fact that Al Qaeda is a drug cartel?  No way!

9/11 didn't just  hide the opium trade. It gave the United States a free pass to invade Afghanistan and build the oil pipeline they'd been planning for years. It set up a race war. It set up a religious war. It opened the door for the United States to invade anybody it deemed was "harboring terrorists," internationally or domestically.

And what did W say? "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists." And 9/11 instilled in us the basest of all fears. Any time, any day, any place, an airplane, a tall building, the subway, shopping mall, grocery store, local newsstand... chemical, biological, nuclear... it doesn't matter. 9/11 could happen again. And guess what? It will happen again. It's inevitable. This is a lifelong battle.

In this corner, you have the United States, the shining example of freedom, peace, and good will. And in the other corner, you have Al Qaeda. Dirty, bearded, hate-mongering terrorists. The whole thing's a setup. It's a show, it's theater. It distracts all of us from what's really going on. The systematic destruction of national sovereignty all across the world.

What's easier to believe? That Al Qaeda is a vicious terrorist organization bent on annihilating all freedom and peace in the world? Or it's a cartel, whose sole purpose is to ensure the safety of the heroin trade out of the Middle East?

If I were to tell you that a man habitually does cocaine, frequents strip clubs and escort services... Would you believe he were, A: a drug runner, or B: an Islamic fundamentalist?

The man I am referring to is Mohammed Atta. Mohammed Atta was seen doing cocaine several times before 9/11. And what's more, Atta isn't seen doing this all by himself. Often, Rudy Deckers is with him, the guy who runs the flight school. Islamic fundamentalism strictly forbids the ingestion of any unnatural drug, and it firmly teaches that treating women as objects of desire is a sin. So if Mohammed Atta is already committing sins he ain't going to Paradise to see Allah, that's for sure. So why would he then take his own life in a terrorist attack? If you can conclude that Mohammed Atta did not fly one of those planes into the World Trade Center then you must conclude that something else happened on 9/11.

And that begs the question... What really happened on 9/11?

War and drugs are the biggest businesses in the world. They are tools to amass the greatest fear and exercise the mightiest control... control over the mind. They wave the flag of war, posing to wield the ultimate power over places afar, using 9/11 as a fucking bargaining chip.

Support this war or you're going to get attacked again. Bow down to our unconstitutional security measures, or else the guy sitting next to you, he might blow you up. Allow us to attack our enemies before they attack us otherwise all freedom is lost. It's a protection racket. All the government is, is the mob. And their greatest crime is profiting from acts of war. And everybody's in on it.

Defense contractors manufacture weapons for use during war, while supporting and financing political candidates who will go to war. The government that buys weapons from these companies in the event of war. And with war crippling to most economies, nations must then borrow money and go into debt. And all that money goes right up to the top of the food chain... to the banks, which is where it came from in the first place. Only now there's a difference, because the money now has an insane amount of interest attached to it... more than most nations can afford to pay off. And then the cycle repeats itself.

No one ever wonders where the national debt comes from. Who lends countries the billions of dollars it takes to fund a national budget? Is it us? Is it the people? If that's true then the government owes us $7 trillion. It's not us. We didn't give them $7 trillion. There are only 250 billion federal reserve notes in circulation!

So, where does all this money come from?

From banks. From private multinational institutions that conserve immense power behind the scenes. The kind of clout gained from having every person, state, province, and nation in debt to you. By controlling all the money in the world, you can control all the people in the world. And the more war there is, the more money there is. Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, the SAIC, Carlyle Group. The list goes on. Every single one of these companies makes its money off of the misery of others, and to them, it's just 'business as usual'. These companies even arm our enemies before we fight them.  They can even control the people with the threat of war.

And when a tragedy strikes, when the nation is in mourning, when we are at our most vulnerable state, what do they tell us to do?

Shop! They tell us to spend money. Trying to make a quick buck off of grieving people. That's not capitalism. That's not consumerism, it's not even corporatism. You know what it is? It is corporate fundamentalism. All these people know how to do is bring everything to market. The banks, the corporations, the government... the elite. They use poverty to marginalize the rest of the world. The upper one percent... when they tell us there are minorities, blacks, latinos, asians... the only minority that counts is the upper one percent. The rest of us are just slaves. Slaves to the dollar, slaves to the elite, slaves to their dogma. And dogma is so powerful because as soon as you believe it, you become afraid of its opposite.

It's divide and conquer. Divide and conquer.

And they do more than just that. They brainwash us in other ways. Just think back to 9/11. Think back to how confused and helpless we all were. Over and over and over and over, the TV just kept showing the replays. The towers kept falling. A patient suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder will often face a recurring trauma. In this state, scientists have proven, that the human mind is very susceptible to suggestion. These people will believe anything you tell them. We all incurred major trauma on 9/11.

They could have told us that UFO's piloted those planes into the twin towers, and on 9/11, we would have believed them. Because we just needed it to stop. We just needed to point the finger at someone, and say they are responsible, and because we needed to know our government could protect us. It's PTSD on a national scale. All the images, the rhetoric, the patriotic American themes... it has all hijacked our minds.

Senator Johnson said in 1917, 'The first casualty when war comes is the truth.'

And what are we going to do about that? We must do something. And if you don't do something about that right now, all of this will be for naught.

How can you fight a machine that's been running on autopilot for thousands of years. The beast has been alive forever.  So, what do we do?

Revolt?
Vote?
Vote Democrat? Any Democrat? (Remember, this was made when Bush was in office)
Don't Vote at all?
Vote a third party?
Protest? How?
Petition the government?
Write your congressman?
Form an assembly outside the capital?
Rally the troops?
Tell your friends?
Support a conspiracy theory? Any conspiracy theory, so long as it proves your point?
What then? What do people do?
Shout to the Heavens?
March on Washington?
Insurrection? To the death?

Give me liberty or give me death!

Guess what? You might get your wish.

On July 8, 2004, Kroll was acquired by insurance brokerage giant Marsh McLennan Companies Inc., run by Jeffrey Greenberg, son of AIG CEO and former director of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg. On October 25, 2004 Jeffrey Greenberg resigned as Chairman and CEO of Marsh McLennan Companies, Inc. The board named Michael G. Cherkasky President and CEO of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., and Chairman and CEO, Marsh Inc.

Banker and oilman Khalid bin Mahfouz is allegedly under house arrest in Saudi Arabia. His actions regarding the BCCI scandal and its money laundering practices have never been completely unearthed. As of the release of this film, bin Mahfouz claims he has never financed Al Qaeda and refutes former CIA director James Woolsey's contention that he is Osama bin Laden's half brother.

On September 10, 2001, it is reported that Osama bin Laden checked into a hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Rawalpindi is the headquarters of both Pakistani intelligence and the Pakistani military. Presumably, no one has seen bin Laden since.

The 9/11 Commission, chaired by Thomas Kean, released its findings in July of 2004. Although the report indicates that sweeping changes must be made within America's intelligence community, at no point does it mention any relevant connection between the CIA, Al Qaeda, the ISI and Osama bin Laden. To this date, this is the only official public inquiry into the 9/11 attacks.

As of the release of this film, 2,998 people died in the 9/11 attacks. One of those victims is reportedly FBI Agent John O'Neill. However, it should be noted that the body was identified by Kroll employee Jerome Hauer.

The perpetrators of the attacks remain at large.

This film is dedicated to those who seek a just society.

All information in this movie is factual to the filmmaker's knowledge.

Building 7 collapse at 5:20 PM 9/11/2001

The evidence is destroyed.  Fires raging on floors 8,11,12,13 and 18. Those floors were the American Express Bank, SEC, Standard Charter Bank and Citigroup. Not to mention, the building had the Secret Service, IRS, NY branch of the CIA, which was the headquarters for the joint FBI/CIA investigation into Al Qaeda. Moreover, Standard Charter bank was used by Omar Shieak Saeed to wire $100,000 to Atta. Those offices of the SEC were ground zero for preemptive investigation in pre 9/11 insider trading. Therefore, getting rid of Building 7 got rid of lots of incriminating evidence.
